17-14 +12.84*
2*missouri-23.5 (120)......
as we all know missouri (um) was humiliated on national tv last week vs. troy state.what i think happened was that um scored too easily in the 1st quarter vs. troy & lost their edge for the rest of the game.
because of that game i don't think the um coach (pinkel) will let his team look past ball st.his record here & at toledo is 12-3 ats when favored by 14 or more (12-1 ats when favored by 14-28 pts.). he is also 12-1 ats as a favorite or pick following a loss(4-0 ats when laying 20 or more), including 6-0 ats while at missouri.
ball st.is 0-29 su on the road & 0-2 at home vs. bcs teams, while averaging just 11 points per game in those 31 games.conf.road games.so far bsu has generated only 408 yds. in 2 games.bsu has given up an average of 46 points per game in it's last 8 non-conf.road games. um is 21-2 ats in it's last 23 games when their opponent is held to less than 15 points.
2*uab+25.......
under watson brown, uab is 15-8 ats as a dog during the past 5 years.
fsu is entering this game off of a draining loss that, imo will be difficult to overcome. their offense only gained 165 total yds. & committed 4 turnovers. their pass defense allowed 255 yds. to miami.fsu has clemson next week.
i'm not predicting uab to win this game. but with a quality qb(hackney),& a tough defense, which was built by the same def. coordinator who built troy's defense, i think uab can stay within the number.
2*marshall+20(120)....
i think um will use the same strategy vs ga. that they used vs.ohio st...short passing game & running the ball (they rushed for 150 yds.vs. osu).um defense is allowing 2.3 yds. per carry so far this year.
ga. lost their starting freshman runner,ware, for this game.
um is 3-0 ats as road dogs vs. the power teams since last year.
2*rice+3.5(125).........
hawaii struggled last year on the mainland last year going 2-4 su & 1-5 ats.uh is 5-16 ats in their last 21.this year they lost their entire def.line to graduation.
rice has a light, quick defense that matches up very well to uh's offense.they are 5-0 ats vs. uh over the last 5 years. under coach hatfield, rice is 17-4 ats as a home dog.
good luck.
