Lines courtesy of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">Bovada.lv<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Arkansas Razorbacks (5.5)<\/h3>\n<p>The Razorbacks put up four wins all of last season as they battled through the whole Bobby Petrino\/John L. Smith debacle. Brett Bielema solidifying the coaching position should be worth at least two wins. The team shouldn\u2019t have too much trouble getting to 4-0 with an easy slate out of the gate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Over 5.5 (-140)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Louisville Cardinals (10.5)<\/h3>\n<p>Louisville won 11 games a season ago, and this year they face a schedule that\u2019s as soft as a cloud. They won\u2019t meet any resistance whatsoever until their regular season finale at Cincinnati, and even that is a game they\u2019ll be favored to win. Teddy Bridgewater will keep the offense rolling, and the team\u2019s defense returns 11 starters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Over 10.5 (-140)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Navy Midshipmen (6.5)<\/h3>\n<p>The Midshipmen won seven of their final eight regular season games in 2012, with an early season switch to Keenan Reynolds at quarterback paying huge dividends. Reynolds will be manning the controls once again this season, and another eight-win season isn\u2019t out of the question.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Over 6.5 (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>South Carolina Gamecocks (9.5)<\/h3>\n<p>The Gamecocks have posted 11 wins in each of the last two seasons, and this year they avoid both Alabama and LSU. The toughest game on their schedule comes against a Georgia team that they\u2019ve beaten each of the past three years. Jadeveon Clowney should put together a Heisman-caliber season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Over 9.5 (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Texas Longhorns (9.5)<\/h3>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to look hard to find a book that offers Texas as a favorite in each of their 12 contests. 19 starters return from a year ago, and the return of Jordan Hicks and Jackson Jeffcoat should help shore up a defense that struggled last season. The first month of their schedule will be tough, but after that the wins should flow with ease. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Over 9.5 (-135)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Indiana Hoosiers (5.5)<\/h3>\n<p>The Hoosiers return 19 starters from a team that finished 4-8 a year ago. Kevin Wilson has done a lot of good in his time with the program, but the team\u2019s defense would have to get a lot better in a hurry if they\u2019re going to finish 6-6 or better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Under 5.5 (+150)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Kansas Jayhawks (3.5)<\/h3>\n<p>Kansas went 1-11 in Charlie Weis\u2019s first season at the helm a year ago. During his Big 12 Media Day appearance on Monday, Weis called his team a \u201cpile of crap.\u201d I\u2019m not one to argue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Under 3.5 (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Michigan State Spartans (8.5)<\/h3>\n<p>The Spartans finished 6-6 a year ago, and struggled to score points. Now the offense will have to try to function without Le\u2019Veon Bell or Dion Sims. The defense will be good because it always is, but nine wins is asking a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Under 8.5 (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8.5)<\/h3>\n<p>This is certainly the last recommendation a good Catholic boy wants to make, but there\u2019s no denying that the Irish face a tough uphill battle this season. A lot of good fortune befell the Irish last season on their run to 12-0. This season, they\u2019ll do battle without their number 5\u2019s against a much tougher schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Under 8.5 (-115)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Utah Utes (5.5)<\/h3>\n<p>The Utes won only five games last season. This year, Oregon and Stanford appear on their schedule, which has been tabbed as one of the toughest in the nation. Kyle Whittingham has done a great job since arriving in Utah, but with only 12 returning starters and a tough schedule, a six-win season just isn\u2019t in the cards for the Utes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The play: Under 5.5 (-165)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>The 2013\/14 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/ncaaf\/\">College futures betting<\/a> season is here in full force!
