College Football Lines Week 9: Opening Lines, Early Values


The early lines and odds are out for Week 9 of the college football season. What are the early values?


 Pete Fiutak @PeteFiutak

Before diving into the research for all the game previews and predictions, without looking at what the real ones are, I take a first guess at what the early lines and odds will be for Week 9 of the 2019 college football season. The real ones then get put in to see how far from the pin I am.
