I have just gone through the card and circled some leans. Here we go:
Rutgers +3 vs. South Florida - This line is sucker city for all the novice gamblers. You have Rutgers, not even ranked vs. the #2 team in the country and they're only getting 2.5 or 3 depending on your oddsmaker? My numbers actually show this game should be closer to a pick'em and if Rutgers avoids turnovers, I think they win SU.
Connecticut +3.5 vs. Louisville - Louisville played their best game of the year in beating Cincy last week. However, UConn has a great running game that should destroy this weak Cardinal defense IMO.
Indiana +7.5 vs. Penn State - Penn State has looked great at home, but they're a whole different animal on the road. Hoosiers have a great opportunity to make a statement and I think Morelli will make sure this game stays competitive.
Arkansas -4.5 @ Mississippi - McFadden and Jones were shut down by a stiff Auburn defense. They will find running lanes wide open vs. an Ole Miss defense that is weak.
Texas A&M ML +115 @ Nebraska - Too say the sky has parted in Husker land would be nice. Huskers can't stop the run and A&M should run the ball right down their throats.
Iowa State +30 vs. Oklahoma - Cyclones coming off a terrible beating against Texas where they gave up. Oklahoma could run up the score, but my guess is the Sooners take it easy on the Clones. Probably going to pass this game, but my numbers show this line should be closer to 25 to 26 points.
Missouri -3 vs. Texas Tech - Red Raiders are awesome in Lubbock, but they're a whole different animal on the road. On the contrary, Columbia should have a sellout and Misery should send the RR's home with their guns down! Missouri should be tough at home this season if the fans show up.
Miami, Florida +6 @ Florida State - Neither of these teams should be laying points IMO and neither has much offensively. Taking any points above a FG seems the only logical choice.
Washington +11.5 vs. Oregon - Huskies actually played much tougher than their 44-20 loss @ Arizona State indicated. The Huskies had a 17-13 halftime lead before falling apart. Ducks coming off a monster win, but I'm not convinced the Dux find the road as accommodating.
Michigan State +17.5 @ Ohio State - Too many points to pass on the Spartans IMO. Buckeyes are the real deal, but let's see how they deal with being ranked #1 and facing a team capable of beating them.
Kentucky +7 vs. Florida - Not sure Wildcats can redeem their magic from last week, but if Kentucky avoids turnovers, they should give Florida a great game. Woodson can trade points with the best of them and Florida leaves a lot to be desired when road chalk in SEC games.
Purdue -6.5 vs. Iowa - The perfect storm for this game. Iowa coming off a nice win and Purdue coming off a couple brutal losses. However, the Boilermakers come home to face an offensively challenged Hawkeye club that should be road kill.
Texas -24 @ Baylor - Horns appear on track while the Bears have really given up and aren't even trying as indicated by 58-10 loss @ Kansas last week.
Auburn +12 @ LSU - Shocked this line has grown, but who in their right mind would take LSU at this number? Auburn really clicking defensively and could hold LSU to below 12 points IMO.
UNLV -2.5 vs. Colorado State - Rams haven't won in over one calendar year and are another team that appears to have given up.
