All imput is appreciated please let me know if you think im off on a play anywhere.

Michigan St -1.5 Im surprised mich st has turned into a decent team so far this year home, ohio st hasnt beaten anyone in the big 10 this season who is capable of scoring points

Penn St. -3 This one falls into the due factor for penn st. (lol) And they have played pretty good D this season at home. Northwestern not a great defense especially on the road. I think penn st wins here by around 10

Iowa -2 Hello its at Iowa when was the last time iowa hasnt coverd a small spread like this at home, plus questions about orton. Iowa is probaly the best coached team in the big ten they should be able to cover the number

CLemson +17 I almost feel like im walking into a trap here, but miami's offense has only been impressive 2 games so far this season. Clemson playing better d of late and moved the ball much better last game than they have. Plus they always play good towards the end of the season

Mizzou/K state Under 50.5 The number just looks way too big to me. Both teams like to run the ball k-state has been in alot of high scoring games of late but i think both these teams will have long drives resulting in no points, mizzou has had alot of drives like that this season

Pitt +4 Once the laughing stock of the ncaa and this forum earlier this year pitt has showed great strides of improvment, syracuse's d is suspect at best, but they havnt been successful stopping anyone the last few weeks. Always hate to go against them at home, but i think pitt gets a big W this weekend

North Carolinia +10 How do you not take the points here carolina has been solid at home all season. Va tech laying 10? They arnt that good, and you almost gotta take a double digit home dog this late in the season

Vandi +12.5 Scary play here but i think thats what makes it a good play. Flordia cant stop the run and last weeks loss has to have these guys ready to give up on themselves, and get ready next year. I love Chris Leak but he turns the ball over to much on the road

Unlv -2.5 Wyomiing struggles to stop the run and they are one of the worst road teams in football. They couldnt stop byu's running game how are they going to stop a unlv team that ran for over 200 yards against utah last week?

Notre Dame +7 Im usually wrong when i play a side on a notre dame game but i think they come out ready to play, unlike tennessee who has had troubles getting started in alot of games lately

Alabama-17.5 Just a much better team than miss.st. Alabama at home this one has blowout written all over it, somthing like 49-14

Oregon +21 I hate go against cal i have been riding them all season, but so has everyone else lately. oregons d is better than it has been over the last few seasons, just to many points to pass on with this team

Oregon st +17.5 I think they have coverd the last 3 weeks in a row. Their problems earlier in the season when they were losing games is they were just turning the ball over to much. They have become much better on controling the game. I dont think they are going to win but at very least i like are chances of a backdoor cover

Arizona st -11 This is one of those games that stanford will find away to keep really tight or arizona st will crush them. i think its a st. crush job stanford offense has been the uglyiest in the pac 10 well not including washington. Once arizona st gets up they will just continue to pile the points on. Well have this one in the bag midway through the 3rd quarter

Wisconsin -6 Minny has been bad on the road this season wisky has their eyes on the national championship in one of our(yes i said our) biggest rivalry games for the paul bunnun axe. Badger d is to stong for minny and offense has come along rather niceley. I live in the madison area everyone is ready for the game, fans, players, coaches ect,ect. The team is staying real focused no reason why they dont cover the number

Good Luck to all this weekend even those who chose to vote for kerry ;142loser: ;142loser:
and please any imput is appreciated

Agree with you on most of your selections just worried about a letdown from North Carolina. Michigan State will also have a rough time getting up for this weeks game after that loss on Saturday. Plus the fact that Stanton's out and the running backs looked like they were limping around quite a bit. Worried about Iowa pretty one dimensional now without their top 5 running backs. Like most of your dogs and love Wisconsin this week. Good luck to you this weekend.

So Cal
I really think Miss St has a great chance to stay within the 17pts
Bama is not a team I feel comfortable laying 2+td's .too much chalk here.

also
Bama is Croom's alma mater.
I think he'll have his boys ready come Sat
I don't think they'll win but they will make a game of it.

predicted score
Ala 24 - MSU 13

Like the card, best of luck to you this weekend. I'm going against you on the Mich St play. IMO Dowdell isn't half the QB Stanton is, and the team might be a little down losing him and the Mich game? Terrible tackling in the UAB cost both of us. Lets turn it around tonight!

Cheers

I am leaning towards NW, you're right they haven't played that well on the road (0-3), but PSU's offense just stinks. I watched them against Iowa and it was not pretty. Might layoff the game due to NW's road woes, but can't lay my money with that PSU offense. GL

Thanks for all the imput guys
I've been looking into the mich st game more and its gonna be a no play for me,

Greed- im worried about north carolina coming out flat also but they have been playing to well at home of late for me to pass this line up. Over the last 4 weeks home dogs of 10 or more have been covering at a very nice %

Tulah- i like the fact bama has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game against miss st. There are alot of ways to expose the miss st d when you have 2 weeks to prepare. Also miss st 3 straight home games now, the win over kentucky is not impressive they quit on the season a long time ago, and flordia was just simply not prepared for their game. Scores from miss st road games this year
lsu 51-0 (thats sad when lsu beats up on you that bad this year)
Vandi 31-13 I really wouldnt be surprised if this one gets out of hand early, bama too tough of a place to play. Croom will have his players ready i agree with you there but the talent of that miss st. doesnt match up.

c20916- Yes penn st is an ugly team but i wouldnt be surprised to see penn st get 2 safteys and cover the number in a 4-0 game. j/k
Im still going to play penn st i really feel this is a game they know they can win, and there is no quit in joe pa's teams. There is no way that i could justify playing a big ten team on the road this late in the season unless their at indiana or illinois just too dangerous

On one last i like to say i hate uab that was the most pathetic 4th quarter in the history college football. At least so far this week anyway. Played the under pretty big last night so i was not happy with the final results.

Tonight
Louisville -13.5
Too many weapons for louisville, memphis doesnt have a quality win yet this season. Louisville makes a statment tonight i think wimprine will be forced into making a few mistakes. Louisville will have a few long drives early and wear down the memphis D should be able to score at will in the 2nd half. Louisville has shown they can play on the road, you never know what team is going to show up when you play memphis

Good Luck
