YTD Record: 37-29 for +20.4 units
Notre Dame -6 for 5 units ? Charlie hears his job may be safe, time to pile on some points on an overrated D. Uconn has been torched by every Big East team they have played but Rutgers, and they still scored enough. The Huskies have had a week off, but it won?t be enough to keep this within a TD.
Penn St. -3 for 5 units ? Sparty folded the one time they played a decent D in Iowa. Expect a similar output when they go against Penn St.
Cal +7.5 for 3 units ? I would like to call it a Stanford hangover play, but considering it is a rivalry game and the fact the hangover should have been last week (after they beat Oregon), simply doesn?t apply. Should be a close game and I expect Cal to have quite a bit of offense. They did just fine w/o Best last week (Vereen is a very good back that can carry the load) and their ineptness on 3rd down held them back (as it has all year). Stanford?s D hasn?t contained anyone all year and it won?t start this week.
Nebraska/Kansas St. Under 44.5 for 3 units ? Nebraska?s D is obviously stingy and Nebraska?s offense is still searching for how to get going, so that side will cooperate. Kansas St.?s D has been sporadic this year but Nebraska?s offense isn?t anywhere near the quality of the teams that have put up big yards and points on the Wildcats. Kansas State?s offense has been very one-dimensional (run) due to Snyder not having confidence in his QB. In a game that means so much to Kansas State (bowl eligibility as well as the right to get killed by Tejas), expect Snyder to play a very conservative, ball control/grind it out game. He knows throwing the ball and potetial turnovers are going to give Nebraska a better chance than running and punting most of the game.
