Thanks, Antonio. I've gotten a lot of breaks.
Texas -16.5
Mack 10-2 After SU losses at Texas and the Holiday-Bowl bound Longhorns are 12-4-2 after Oklahoma (which makes a lot of sense ? as they don?t beat the Sooners). Iowa State has lost the yardage battle by over 800 yards in their last two games. Horns dominate these types of games.
East Carolina -6
Both teams are very bad, but I think that Army takes it to another level. The new coach never stated that he would change the offense, but he did talk about the success that they have had previously against a 3-4. As an ex-D coordinator, you have to think that he will try and test the belly of ECU and that change in scheme will hinder an already anemic offense. Pirates are improving every week and need to put a hurt on somebody.
Minnesota -5
Minnesota killed the Wolverines last week. 400 yards on the ground and the Wolverines were putting 8 in the box. While Mason?s game day decisions can be questioned, he?s not an idiot and saw the same tape that we did. There won?t be a 3-man rush prevent this week and he will run the off-tackle ? bounce sweep until the Spartans stop it. Michigan State?s impressed just once this year and have played fairly ordinary in their other 5 wins. Always play dominant rushers vs. dominany passing offenses.
Oklahoma State ? 3
Total of 75 usually reserved for the WAC games. Both offenses are solid, but Oklahoma State?s offense brings some balance. Texas Tech always gets it handed to them when they step up in class (outside of 2002 Texas who couldn?t stop blitzing the line gaps) and OSU is a step up now.
All games one unit
