small plays:
penn state 1st half (-10) over akron
bowling green/wisconsin over 47
simply not sold on akron right now. the mac east is so weak that they could win that side of the conference by default but think theyre a ways behind northern illinois and toledo. cant trust the revamped nits enough to make this anything more than a small play but think psu hammers akron here. zips need to prove they wont be one-dimensional with a suspect running game. kennedy is the x-factor for akron. he has the talent to be a feature back but he really hasnt done sh.it on the collegiate level.
bg/wisky total dropping like a bomb but have a tough time seeing this one having anything less than 55. even though its likely both teams will feature inexeperenced qbs, its the offensive schemes that could cause trouble for the defenses. bg was abused by the wisky running game last year and it remains to be seen if theyre tougher across the front this year. conversely, wisky looked equally clueless against bg's spread. while the personnel has certainly changed on both sides, just not convinced either D is tough enough to keep this one under. if barnes is as good as the hype for bowling green, he'll single-handedly keep the chains moving with his run/pass threat.
