Troy +16 over UGA and under 58.5--I expect a less than top notch out of Georgia today after their big win last week. Troy is not your typical rotten Sun Belt team. They are pretty solid on defense and Haugabook can make plays. I was hoping to get 17 but the number seems to be staying put. Put two units on the under.
Purdue +8 over PSU and over 51.5--Disappointing loss for PSU last week and that will be a factor today. Purdue, while not a great team, is putting together a good season record-wise. Both teams should be able to move the ball, Purdue because of their passing game and PSU because of Purdue's suspect defense. I think both teams can get into the high 20's with Purdue getting the backdoor cover.
FIU/Arkansas St. over 52.5--Arky St. can't score against the big boys but they will run it up against FIU. FIU has gotten a little better offensively and should get a couple of scores. Throw in the usual mixture of special teams scores, pick sixes and missed tackles that highlight Sun Belt play, and this one goes over easily.
Toledo/EMU under 62.5--Toledo and under usually don't go well together but I think EMU will be able to run the ball and slow this game down. They have been under this number every game except Ohio and teams score against Ohio by accident (except Temple).
Wisconsin +16 over Ohio St.--Betting that Wisky doesn't piss their pants like Sparty did in the shoe in the first half. If Wisconsin can control the ball and not turn it over, they can keep this relatively close. But if the Buckeyes get a couple of big plays early, it could get messy.
