Ohio +3.5 over CMU: Both teams have been on a roll since starting 2-3. CMU seems to have the edge offensively but Ohio should have some success running the ball. Defensively Ohio has 5 of their last 6 opponents under 20 points. CMU has given up 26 or more to its last three opponents, two of which were Temple and Buffalo. I can't help thinking the CMU preparation was affected by Kelly's name being thrown around for a couple of open positions. Kind of like the under but definitely will take Ohio +3.5.

you must realize that both temple and buffalo scored in garbage time after cmu had built grande leads right? I would have to believe this game comes down to ohio's lack of pass offense(bower playing?)becuase you know cmu will put 8 in the box to slow run down.Alot of things such as senior leadership and coaching would seem to point torward ohio but really feel that if cmu comes in wanting to win this game (almost home field) they will.
You make a very valid point about Buffalo and temple scoring in garbage time, though I will contend that in my opinion Kelly need not take a back seat to Solich in the coaching area. This guy is good and devised a scheme that shredded the Bobcat D last season, though this years edition of the Ohio D is light years better than last years squad.
I think it all boils down how successful the Ohio defense, who was damn good against the pass all year, will be in containing the very efficient LeFevour. Also of importance to note, is the kicking game with a big edge here to OU's Lasher.
Its a very interesting match up of two very contrasting teams. I'm still undecided, but do like the over a bit on the fast track of ford field.

There may be more Bobcats in the stands than Chips. Ohio travels well. This game gives the students an opportunity to get hammered in another state.
Ford Field in Detroit, MI. Where the Lions play.
OU will be traveling well. 3-4 busloads of students, and all of the alumni gatherings are sold out. Big game for OU fans...a long time coming!

UNH +7.5 over Umass: Can't turn down UNH plus a TD. This line should have been closer to PK.
GVSU -1 N. Dakota: Playoff rivals match up again this year but Grand Valley has the edge on defense. Both teams should score but N. Dakota has been living on the edge lately with interceptions and blocked FGs. They won't get either against Lakers.
Rowan +15 over SJ Fisher: Very surprised by this line. Rowan has playoff experience and a solid team defensively. Fisher's offense is very good but may be affected by the weather. In what should be a relatively low-scoring game give me the points. This one should be decided by a TD or less.

ULL -3 (EV) over ULM: I think ULL is a little bit better defensively and has the home field advantage. They played pretty well last week and should finish strong. Might see -2.5 by gametime.
Navy over 34.5 (+101) team total: It doesn't look like the weather is going to be a factor in slowing down Navy's offense and we know Army's defense won't be a factor.
Also, Pinnacle has UMass at -6 (-105) if you are interested in a nice middle opportunity with UNH.
