The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas has posted numbers on 166 games for the upcoming 2015-16 college football season. I realize many of you make trips to Las Vegas during the summer, so if you would like to get some early-season value, I have some plays for you to take advantage of before the numbers move. Most numbers I expect to be close to a touchdown difference (and some even more) by the time the game goes off. Here are my top five early value plays from the Golden Nugget's Games of the Year:
Oklahoma State Cowboys (+8) over Baylor Bears | Saturday, Nov. 21 Oklahoma State would have been my No. 1 most improved team in the country if last season it hadn't earned a second chance at a punt return against Oklahoma and earned a punt-return touchdown in the final minute. The Cowboys would have finished 5-7 and been eligible for that list. The last time Baylor traveled to Stillwater, Oklahoma, the Bears were No. 3 in the country, unbeaten in 2013 and favored by eight, but OSU beat them 49-17. In the last two seasons, Baylor has outgained Big 12 foes at home by an average of 642-335 yards.
