Wisky -20.5 over Illinois: Badgers are rolling and need to keep the momentum going with Penn St. and Iowa coming up next. The wheels might be falling off the Illinois wagon with three straight losses since the Sparty win. Williams is doing a good job but he doesn't have much help. PJ Hill is a load for the Badgers and Stocco is really playing well. I don't think this one will be close.
Ohio St. -26.5 over Minnesota: I'm not usually one to lay big chalk but I can't see the Gophers putting up much of a fight in this one. Buckeyes have too many weapons and will pour it on in front of the homecoming crowd. No doubt some of the rich alumni are laying the chalk and letting Tressel know about it. The UC game convinced me of that:nono:
EMU/WMU under 45: After watching the Toledo/EMU abortion, I am convinced this game will stay under. If Eagles struggled to score against the rotten Rocket defense at home, they will definitely have problems against WMU. Bronco offense is nothing special which will help also. This should be a 24-10 type game.
North Texas +10 over Troy: I think I have written this before but I will write it again--no Sun Belt team should be laying double-digits to anyone. Sun Belt games are riddled with stupid penalties, dropped passes, turnovers and bad tackling. This makes it very difficult to hold a lead, let alone cover a large number. Troy should win but they are too inconsistent to cover the ten points.
MTSU +3 over ULL: Huge game for the Ragin Cajuns as MTSU is already 3-0 in the conference. MTSU's QB Marks has been playing pretty well the last three weeks and their defense has been very solid. ULL's running backs are strong but I think Babb is soft. Look for MTSU to force Babb to beat them and I don't think he can. MTSU takes a big step towards the conference title with a road win.
