Thursday lines: completely Newton free

This week's edition of "Thursday lines" promises to have no mention whatsoever of a certain student-athlete who plays a certain position for a certain university who may or may not have received certain additional benefits. As has been our most recent norm, lines are courtesy of usatoday.com, and as always, you're free to comment on the lines either in the comments section, or by visiting us on Twitter.
