Penn St (-12.5) over Purdue
Home field does not mean that much. Notre Dame handed Purdue a big loss and if that team struggled against the Irish defense they will have a VERY tough time against Penn St. PSU did not play extremely well against Ill, don't get me wrong but they were exxposed on kick coverage and deep by Benn. Still that is not gonna happen again. PSU has Wisky on the door step but I do not see this team looking ahead. This is a game for Penn St to go into and work out everything they need to in order to get ready for Wisky and Ohio St. With Royal leading the rushing attack they should be able to completely destroy the d-line for purdue and out run they on any plays run to the outside. The have the beef to bully them up the middle. They have the speed to beat them deep and the running passing threat at QB. All that said I like the PSU defense to get all over Painter. He showed a lack of pocket pressence and he will be rushed all day. The Irish were able to shut him and Sheets down and I just cannot see that offense being able to handle the Penn St size and speed. This is a look ahead game but with the upsets from last weekend lingering Joe Pa will have all his boys ready and focused to give the boilermakers a tough day at home.

Tex Tech (-7.5) over K State
If louisville could throw all day aginst KSt the red raiders will make them look very bad through the air. This team is coming from a week off (well UMass) and should have everything planned out for going deep early and often to show they are a tough team in the big 12. Looking at K St they have beaten the pancakes of their sched to get a bit overrated in my eyes and after watching them just not able to get Louisvile off the field I cannot think they stay stride for stride in this track meet. Remember this team went into ?Nevada and won by 10 plus and I would put KSt and navada on the same level. Do I put a lot of faith into them looking ahead to Neb, well Yes. But even looking ahead the raiders have the offense to make KSt very confused in the secondary. This is a team that has give up a ton of points in the last two games. Again this has to be a statement game and basically going to try to win by as much as possible because with bigger teams coming up they need as many big wins as possible to sway some voters. The defense is not too shabby either and they have a good enough line to get onto of the K State QB. He has shown poor deciosion making and the raiders need to get those mistakes and turn them into points. Give the wildcats no life and they will fold late.

Okla St (-24.5) over Texas A&M
Miami destroyed them, they barely beat Army and now Okla St is getting the aggies at home. This is a HUGE look ahead game to Mizzou but look at last game aginst Troy, it was 35-10 at half and they really never were worried. But this is Big Twelve country and an opening game against a conference team, that means the cowboys will be ready to play. This is a lot of chalk but I think that after watching Tex AM just struggle to move the ball aginst Army they will be hard pressed to move it at all aginst Okla St. The defense for A&M was just shredded against Miami, the hurrican offense is not nearly as efficent as Okla St and they will not be able to compete. As always on any given week teams can surprise but A&M is a bad football team with little to no confidence and on the road they will not have much in the tank to battle if this goes the cowboys way early. I could see a back door in this game but considering the lack of effort from the aggies if the cowboys get ahead they will take all the wind out of the A&M sails. Get on them early and watch the Aggies fold up the tent as they have done this season.

Mizzou (-11) over Neb
So the cornhuskers showed they are not ready to recieve any hype when VT dominated every aspect of the game. Yes it was closer than I expected but VT really never lost control. Now they go against an offense that is just a juggernaut and should put up big numbers. The VT defense exposed Ganz and Mizzous offense will expose him even more. He will not be able to run at 100% all game and with the tigers fresh off a bye they will be hungry to move up the polls after big teams lost this past week. Yes this is at Neb but this is not the 90's cornhuskers, with no blackshirt intimidation and no real fear of playing in Nebs stadium the tigers should go in and just take care of business. Dianiels is a big leader and without pressure on him he will have no problems handling the cornhuskers defense. This is old hat for Neb, last year they looked good to start and then when it came time to step up and play the big dogs they couldn't play at the same level. Mizzou averages 50 plus points a game and if they get near that which I think they will Neb will be luck to be within 4 TD's of them. The key for the tigers is not to beat themselves and give the huskers any life. Since the ball rarely touches the ground during practice I don't see Dainels and Mizzous offense beating themselves.

Florida (-24) over Ark
I feel bad for Ark, they are very bad and texas just hammere them. Will the gators be focused... off a loss the answer is yes and they will be looking to run it up and leave no doubt. This will be a woodshed game and Urban off a loss will not leave any point off the board. Ark has been just hammered all season, they have NO defense and really no offense. They get points when the towel boys are in the game and in this contest I think you might see Tebow going deep in the fourth. They want to work out some of the kinks on offense and they are being giving the perfect scout team to run them against. This should get ugly early and continue all game regardless of where it is being played.

Mary (-14) over UVA
Swagger is in turtle town, a win over Clemson and now the dreadfull cavs. UVA just got blown out by DUKE people... thats DUKE. The terps have all the mo, they believe and they are playing good enough offense to make the Cavs pay on drives. When the terps turned it on defensively they shut Clemson down in the second half and that should continue in saturdays game. They have the guys that can completely stop the Cavs just like Duke did and they have more skill position players to exploit the holes Duke took advantage of last week. This will be a nice let down game for the terps but considering how they started the season and what they have done since they have all the pistons firing and should dominate both lines and leave the Cavs in another hole that they cannot crawl out.

Kansas (-13) @ Iowa St
Iowa St just lost a heart breaker in ot to UNLV, that is just tough to rebound. Not only that but they lost by 10 to Iowa, remember that Iowa team lost to Pitt. Yeah, so that is not saying a whole lot about this cyclone team. Still they are going to be up and ready for the jayhawks in Iowa. With a QB controversy brewing at Iowa St, an offense that managed about 37 yards of offense in the first half against UNLV and a Kansas team looking to iron out some issues should be a situation for the jayhawks to move the ball and get points while the cyclones struggle to keep drives going and leave Kansas having long field to cover but not enough defense to stop them. Unfortuately Kansas is not affraid of having to go the full field to score and that will be the reason they get on the score board and keep Iowa st guessing on defense. This will be a game where Kansas needs to start running the ball better and establish some threat other than the pass. Considering Iowa St really is not the toughest test on rush defense the jayhawks need to shake off early game problems if they want to beat the big teams coming up. Everyone knows Reesing can throw so teams cannot overload the box but Crawford and Quigley have not stepped up in that open space. Kansas's passing attack should be enough in this game but they need to show dominance on the o-line if they want to be a big boy in the big 12.

Mid Tenn St (-3) over Florida Atl
I actually like the fact that florida atl has played a much harder sched. I think M.Tenn.St has a very good QB in Craddock but his recievers have just not stepped up. He will need those recievers to breakout because they only average about 66 yards rushing per game. The Blue Raiders' were exposed in the secondary by ASU quarterback Corey Leonard, who threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns. Middle Tennessee's woes in the secondary will be addressed this week as they prepare for Florida Atlantic and junior quarterback Rusty Smith, who was last year's Sun Belt player of the year. Thats really not great news for me but considering the raiders have had a little extra time to prepare and they have the owls at home I expect a little more inspired performance tonight. Inspiration might come in the form of the Florida atlantic defense.... 482 yards allowed, 326 passing and 156 rushing, averaging 4.5 a carry to UAB, that's right I said UAB. This lack of defense is where I like the QB of Mid Tenn St to take advantage. Even without a running game they should still hit the century mark on the ground. Now thats good news but even better news is even though Mid Tenn St has no rushing game the owls also struggle rushing the ball. They have issues on their o-line but again that was against some big boys so I am not sure if they are that bad but it did not look good in the UAB game. Also for as good as Rusty is, this season he is looking at 45% completitions rating and 5 int's compared to 4 TD's. I think the owls are in trouble on offense and defense but they should stay in this game because Midd Tenn St is not great shakes. Still I think at home on national TV the raiders will have enough to take care of business on offense and defense. Avoid mistakes and run early. Forida Atl will come out trying to stop the pass so hit them early with some run and then exploit a bad pass defense.

edit............
ahjoah...... Lean is with OSU and Pryor at QB, I mean Wisky looks just bad in the 4th and after that lost the state of mind for the players might not be where it needs to be in this game. OSU has not really tired over the past few weeks, beinie back, Pryor under center I like the OSU defense to stop Hill because they showed a poor passing attack at Mich... so I would think OSU by 6 or more.. IMO, but at Randal makes me worry because State has slept through the past few weeks and PSU is looming.

Boise (-22.5) over La Tech
Can the boys on the smurf turf stop the bulldogs running attack? That is where La Tech's bread is buttered. The long drive could keep Boise off the field offensively and that would keep La Tech in the game. If Boise comes in and forces the bulldogs to throw they will go three and out a few times and then the Boise offense can make it a score forcing the bulldogs to throw and take away the advantage of the bulldog run blocking o-line. Taking that availablility for La Tech to run will be what Boise needs to do and to get the score in that department will take the passing game. Louisiana Tech in just three games has allowed well over 1,000 yards of passing. The pass defense is the worst in America allowing 349 yards per game. The reason I like this game is because Kansas did exactly what I am talking about and by getting out on this team they have no way to stay in the game and even Kansas held them to zero points. The Kansas passing attack is very good but I like the way Boise throws the ball a little more. When Boise played Oregon they showed that Moore can stretch the field and hit the open guy. That was in a hostile field against a pretty good secondary, this should be a game where Boise can do pretty much anything they want through the air. It would be nice for Ian Johnson to get the running game going because then Boise can take a little time off the clock. Moore will have to buy just a bit of time because La Tech has a good line but Moore will get that time and fire the ball down field. I think Boise has a lot of 20plus yard passing plays and just too much in Boise's favor. Well too much but the chalk which is large but this team has shown they love the smurf turf and the love to ring up as much as possible on teams on TV and at home.

Last night was interesting, 5 turnovers for Florida Atl, 40 plus plays for MTS in Fla Atl territory and 14 points score in 6 mins to win??? I wonder why a team that has ZERO rushing attack tries to run it on 3rd and short and QB sneak it on 4th... oh well

Utah (-11) over Org St
A little bit of a hang over for the beaver in this spot on the road. Yes the beavers looked very strong in their last game against USC but I am not so quick to drink the kool-aid after watching this team lose in Stanford and get crushed in Happy Valley. I think that the Utah defense will be a very big key in this game. In 20 quarters of play, Utah has held its opponents to under 20 yards rushing in 13. In seven of those 13 quarters, opponents compiled negative rushing yards. Now in this game Utah will not take the beavers lightly, they have a very strong group in the middle of the defense and they will not allow Quizz to have 100 plus yards in the first half. Air Force rushed for just 53 yards against Utah--300 below its season average entering the game--and the lowest rushing total by an Air Force team since 1980. Org St was firing against USC but where they will struggle is at QB. I have watched Moevao, he is a good QB with a very quick release but he is not extremely accurate and makes unadvised throws into coverage. A perfect example was the TD pass before the half against USC, if the USC secondary was not banged up I would think the starting CB would have made the interception. Utah boasts the Mountain West's top defense (231.4 yards per game), and is fifth in the nation against the run (60.2 ypg). Also this is a revenge game for Utah after losing last season the the beavers in the begining of the season. A game where the RB and QB both got hurt and left the game. Johnson and Asaiata should be ready to make it happen since they couldn't help last season. Now the beavers did a good enough job stopping USC. I like the Utah offense balance, Utah's offense is averaging 38.4 points and 426.4 yards per game. This team can score and score often. They are home, where they normally play well and like I said before the beavers are not the greatest road team. I like the beavers because they are a better team then they get credit for but that was before the USC win, now I think they are a little overrated and I can see the high powered Utah offense and stingy Utah defense keeping the Beavers off the board. I also like that home field advantage. Since 2003, Utah is 5-2 against the Pac-10 (4-0 in Rice-Eccles Stadium). This is a good bit of chalk to give a team that might have some confidence on their side, but I will risk that they have a bit of a hangover and struggle on the road tonight.

Big Play
South Florida (-13) over Pitt
Well needless to say the panthers have looked less than stealer against some pretty bad teams this season. All season long they have just done the little things poorly. They beat Iowa but I cannot see how and now they go on the road to South Florida, a place where the Bulls beat Kansas by 3. The bulls defense has taken some shots from the NFL and graduation but they are still the best defense Pitt has seen to date. The pitt o-line is not very good in blocking and Selvey should have a pretty good day against them. Pitt has been considered a pretty good oin defense but I have not seen it and allowing Cuse to score 24 points last week means I don't think they will stop S.Fla. The bulls will only be stopped by either bad play selection or dropped passes. Grothe is good enough to make plays with his feet, they have a solid running game and they have weapons on the outside. All things the panthers cannot defend so if the Bulls focus on the small things the panthers will be in trouble. Pitt has a tough night ahead on offense too, The Bulls are No. 4 in the country at stopping the run. This is a big fact because the Pitt QB is not good enough to keep Pitt in this one. Pitt reliese on the run game to keep them in the games, they like to take the pressure off the QB and tonight they will not have that ability. The bulls are lead by a very good QB that should have a big advantage over the Pitt coverage units, after all the Bulls have averaged 500 yards in the last three games. They have the offense, the defense, the home field advantage and the better coach. This game should get away from Pitt unless they play above 100% on every play, something I do not see Wanny being able to accomplish. Once the bulls have the lead the panthers will sputter out and be forced to pass and then it will be a lot of trouble for Pitt.

Memphis (-3) over UAB
Just a small play on the team I think has more talent even though both teams are rubbish. Curtis Steele has startedd to show up to give the tigers a bit of a rushing attack. That goes along with a group of WR's that should be too talents for UAB to stay with in coverage. UAB has injuries and issues and the tigers should have a slight edge in this game.

Hey Irish

I really like the florida play. They may score on every possesion... and the Def. will score on some possesions too.

I'm on Memphis too. Better team IMO.

On the opposite side of the other games tonight.
I love the under in the USF game.

South Florida a top 10 team.... haha. Nice game plan coming into this game. You know the D-line is banged up but you wait until Pit has had the ball for 35 plus mins before committing more into the box. And I don't want to even talk about the terrible play calling that tested Pitt about 7 times tonight even after the panthers have struggled all season against the deep pass. Oh and great job of teaching secondary fundimentals.... #6 is lucky that he isn't called for PI everytime considering he always face guards and has his hands engaged. What a lovely game, but thats why I love college football!

BYU (-29.5) over Utah st
Utah St lost by 48 against Utah in a rivalry game at home. They lost by 42 to Oregon, who I think is a little overrated on offense. BYU is on fire right now. They have pitched 2 straight shut outs zand score over 100 points. They have won the last two games by 50 points average. Max Hall is a very good QB, they have a very strong O-line and WR's that spell trouble for Utah St all night. The offense is way too tough and they want to win by as many as possible to gain respect as they go along. If they win convincingly they should leap frog the South Florida Bull and perhaps others if they lose this weekend. The BYU defense has been sharpening up coverage and rush defense and considering they are tough to move and create turnovers it will be tough for the Utes to do anything in this game. The only win for Utah St was against Idaho and tomorrow night they should be completely out gunned. BYU offense showing a near-perfect balance while being able to capitalize on every mistake and almost every drive. The defense is swarming, causing error after error and not letting UCLA or Wyoming?s offenses do anything and IMO those are far better teams then what Utah St brings into the game. This win be a "can you get up for it" game for BYU. This team knows they should hammer Utah st so why even come to play tomorrow night? BYU did not see Utah st last season but 2 years ago they beat this team by 30 and I think considering the teams in front of them are falling out of the top tean they will be playing the score board rather than Utah St.

:box2: Took it on the chin last night. Feels like I went 15 rounds bare knuckled. I am a scrapper so we press on.

Small Play
Cincy (-3.5) over Marshall
I like the team to rally behind the new starting QB. Even though a new QB is tough to deal with, I still think Cincy is the better team on offense and defense. The QB's they have need a little bit of practice in the system and they are fine. Grutza did well replacing Mauk, Pike filled in nicely for Grutza. This is a very QB friendly system that does not make you beat teams but use the talent you have around you. I think that this week of practice will get the Cincy offense close to being on the same page. Cincy's has a good enough run defense to stop Marshal and coverage guys to stay one on one with Passmore and others. The reason this is a small play is because Cincy needs to come focused. Watching them last week, they jst got off the bus with no energy or fight and went through the motions as they had already won the game.



Re-hit to make them Big Plays (hope to get some Bull $$ back)....

I am on my way out so no time for write ups but then again I am straight rubbish right now, take that for what it is worth because a fade might be in order.
:(

WVU (-14) over Rutgers
Rut is down and they don't have the offense to stay in a shootout. I am not sold on WVU but Rutgers needs to much aid on offense.

UNC (-7.5) over UConn
UConn on the road with a new QB, the world knows it is going to Brown. UNC has a pretty good defense and should make it very tough for ND transfer.

Mich st (6.5) over Iowa
Ringer should run all over them like Pitt did a few weeks ago. Iowa is just not that good and Mich is big enough and strong enough to grind them down.

Bama (-16.5) over Kent
Kent has seen noone, with a bye week coming and a bad second half against Gerogia Saban will have them focused. To much Bama on defense for Kent to do anything against.

Texas (-13.5) over Col
Texas should have the defense to limit Col running attack like FSU did, but they have an offense to go with it. McCoy and company will have a lot of match ups to take advantage of and I am sure Brown had them watch the Col/Okie game from last year to get them focused and be serious.

Ohio St (-1) over Wisky
Pryor was productive against USC so he will not be affraid. The OSU defense should get to Hill and Wisky cannot pass well enough. Like to see Beanie involved. Wisky should feel dirty after last week. That was AWFUL and that tase should stay in their mouth today.

With the amount of chalk I am giving, I hope I am not the dead guy it outlines....SO...Doggies

Vandy (+4) over Auburn
I like the over FG team here. Scrambling QB could get V the win.
FSU (+2.5) over Miami
FSU defense and rushing attack. Miami might be a little down after last week.

Need to turn it around... BYU 27-0 at half and 7 points in the second half - - - Shinanigans

12-9-1 this weekend without the rehit counts

Cheers
Irish
