Eastwood (-14) @ Kenton-don't know much about Kenton, other than they have fallen in 20 years like fostoria, and Eastwood is well coached
Van Buren (-8) @ Fostoria- even though they have fallen, getting 8 is too good to pass on
Genoa (+6) @ Archbold- close game, like Genoa getting more than a field goal here
Lake (+3) @ Leipsic- close game, I think Lake will have "eyebrow raising" season under coach Lane Bishop
Maumee (-14) @ Springfield- the purple and yellows should have this spread taken care of by halftime
Bowsher (+42) @ Oak Harbor- Coach May can name his score, will depend on how much rest he wants to give his starters with the brutal pre NBC schedule (insert sarcasm) they have coming up.......
Bowling Green (-6) @ Otsego- close game toss up with the point spread so taking the home team....with a new coach
Rossford (-3) @ Northwood- amazing that given the size of the schools that this isn't a blowout on paper for Rossford.....
 
Eastwood (-14) @ Kenton - Eastwood will cruise in this one and win by 20+
Van Buren (-8) @ Fostoria - Fostoria will cover the spread
Genoa (+6) @ Archbold - Archbold will beat Genoa by 10+
Lake (+3) @ Leipsic - I'm siding with Leipsic by two scores
Maumee (-14) @ Springfield - Maumee by 3 or more TDs
Bowsher (+42) @ Oak Harbor - Coach May continues his pre-season dominance over much weaker competition. Starters out at the half. Rockets struggle though to cover the spread and win by 45.
Bowling Green (-6) @ Otsego - Give me the Knights
Rossford (-3) @ Northwood - Rossford by 8.

Eastwood (-16) @ Kenton - I’ll take the Eagles to cover…but barely. Kenton seemed to be a bit better last year and I don’t think they’re likely to get embarrassed in the home opener. Eastwood 35-14
Van Buren (Pick'em) @ Fostoria - I’ll take the Redmen! Over 40 guys in the program isn’t too shabby for the new coach, I think they’re able to make enough big plays to get the win. Fostoria 26-21
Genoa (+5.5) @ Archbold - Will they win? That might be too much to ask but I think this will be a dogfight, one big play (maybe even a defensive play) wins a low scoring affair. Genoa 17-14
Lake (Pick'em) @ Leipsic - I have a lot of respect for Leipsic’s program but they snuck out a 6pt win last year and had a lot going for them. I think the Flyers surprise some people with their athleticism as long as their defense can hold up. Lake 35-21
Maumee (-13) @ Springfield - I hate to do this and the Panthers may just cover but 13 feels like a bit too much. Springfield will likely be one of the few teams Maumee can’t just out athlete and in week 1 I don’t know what the Oline will look like. Maumee 38-28
Bowsher (+39) @ Oak Harbor - Bowsher may be improved, it won’t matter. Would love to hear the logic behind this and Woodward in the non-conference. Oak Harbor 49-6
Bowling Green (-7) @ Otsego - I think I’d lean toward whoever was getting the points here. The talent edge leans toward BG but I’m taking the experienced coach to keep it close in what’s likely to be a quick game. BG 21-14 (if it’s a push I want credit ha)
Rossford (-3) @ Northwood - Similar to a season ago I expect the Bulldogs to take care of business week 1. Northwood has fallen on some hard times as of late, not sure what happened. Rossford 35-12

Week One Games:

Eastwood (-16) @ Kenton
This game will tell us more about Kenton than Eastwood.
Van Buren (0) @ Fostoria
A new coach so late in the game for Fostoria just adds to the list of obstacles for this program.
Genoa (+5.5) @ Archbold
Mostly basing this on the fact that Genoa lost their QB and Archbold is traditionally a strong program.
Lake (0) @ Leipsic
I am not a lake believer just yet. Should they win this game? School size would say yes, but Leipsic's only two losses last year were to teams who made deep runs.
Maumee (-13) @ Springfield
Karchner at a school for more than one year?! This is surely Maumee's year. I'm surprised Karchner didn't get scooped up to be a vice presidential candidate this offseason.
Bowsher (+39) @ Oak Harbor
Can OH beat Bowsher by more than 42? Absolutely. I feel like the JV and freshmen will struggle a bit this early in the year for OH when they get in. *Edit* I don't think Bowsher will score so with the score change, I think OH gets them by 40.
Bowling Green (-7) @ Otsego
This is the biggest toss up to me. Two new coaches at both programs. I'm going with the bigger school only in this one.
Rossford (-3) @ Northwood
Is Rossford starting the freshman phenom week one? Rossford was bad last year. Northwood lost to them. Rossford has to be better, right?

You highlighted Eastwood but -14 won’t cover.

This is only Karchner’s 2nd year at Maumee.

I misspoke on the Karchner years for some reason. However, I highlighted Eastwood as I believe they will cover. I was suggesting that they are bad and we won't learn much about Eastwood from that.
 
We have some people using different lines it appears.

Plobtz posted twice, once his own lines and then the group lines that we all should be using.

Eastwood should be at -16, not -14. That one kind of makes a big difference. Genoa +5.5 and +6 is big difference too
 
Standing After Week One: I don't think getting the line in late changed any results, but if I missed something let me know. Congrats to Hback who was a 1-point cover by Bowsher from a perfect week.

single wing: 6-2
BigTenFan2021: 5-3
Rolly67: 5-3
