good analysis on the NIU/Toledo game. You are correct in pointing out that the Rockets really should not feel that great about beating a very bad Michigan team. Northern is sneaky good. Although the Huskies are just 3-3, the have been in every game. They gave the Vols all they wanted and could well have won the games at Western and Minny. Kill would get my vote for MAC coach of the year at this point.

adding 3 ugly dogs...

miami o+10(120)...

don't think bg should be laying over a td to anybody considering that they allow close to a 65% completion rate on defense & has been outgained in 4 of its 6 games this year.....also miami has covered 7 of the last 8 games between these teams, including 4 straight on this field....& bg is 0-5 ats as home favorites of more than 7 points vs. an opponent off a su loss....


iowa st.+8.....

neb. mounted a 4th quarter comeback at tex. tech last week, only to lose in ot...& as i stated in the army writeup...ot losers are 1-8 ats this year in their next game..also under this coach, iowa st is 5-1 ats as a home dog....


kansas st+4(120)...

colorado is 1-9 ats after playing their last game on the road over the last 3 seasons.

play against - favorites of 3.5 to 10 points (colorado) - poor rushing team (100-140 ry/game) against a team with an average rushing defense (140-190 RY/game), after gaining 125 or less rushing yards in 2 straight games.

since 1992 the ats record is....48-18......72.7%


good luck

thanks guys...


adding...

middle tenn. st +15(115).....

earlier this year mts out-stated kentucky & maryland when they played, so i think that they will be able to hang close to louisville, who may be disinterested & thinking about revenging last years humiliating loss to so. fla.where they lost 55-17.....


good luck
