What a whopper of an upset week of Top 25 teams last week eh?!! :142smilie
Now this week we have some doozies folks!! And I mean doozies!!
Texas vs Oklahoma, Texas off big game at home in which they fought hard vs Baylor and Oklahoma gives up a tonage of yards vs the Horny toads and loses their first Big12 game away in Texas. This game will be played at a neutral site and big bragging rights and big recruiting eyes on this game. Charlie Strong wants to get some top recruits? Well this is the game where his team needs to show something, Texas with Mack Brown beat the Sooners LY 36-20. Texas is 1-3 L4 ATS vs Sooners. I have Sooners to be favored by 8-10 pts here.
Florida St @ Syracuse - Why is this game significant, this is Fla St 2nd rd ACC game and they are playing Syracuse who got blitzed by Louisville on Thursday night and have a couple days extra rest. FSU took it easy the first half vs WF and looked out of synch to be honest with only a 13-3 lead. Second half they put up 27 and gave up a goose-egg. Fla St should be at least an 18 1/2 pt fav here. If FSU plays like it did vs Wake Forest early and last wk vs N C State, Syracuse I don't think wins SU but should put up a battle if getting 3 TDs.
TCU @ Baylor - Both teams undefeated and leading the Big12 right now. Horned Froggies off big home win vs Sooners, Baylor played possum vs an improving Texas defense and won 28-7 at Austin. This will be Baylor's first big test of the year and Horned Frogs have some returning talent and team speed. Baylor won LY 41-38 as a 14 1/2 pt fav @ TCU with a banged up TCU bunch. Baylor should be a 14 1/2 pt fav again, this time at home, I have them winning by 10 1/2 with 3 pt error margin so 10-13 pts?
Auburn @ Miss St - Talk about barn burners, both teams undefeated and rank in top of SEC. This one will be probably the most watched game next week other than the Texas - Oklahoma tilt, :142smilie but seriously, State will have a tough road to ho here, two straight weeks vs a top flight program at home? Let the tailgating begin because A&M's offense to me, is far better than what Auburn has shown thus far this year, they beat a decent LSU defense but LSU's defense to be honest, was on the field most of the game because their freshman QB had a tough time with the big Auburn front 7. Dak Russell is mobile and can pass and State's "D" will get tested like they did by A&M. This one I have as a pickem line as well to -3 for Auburn. If State is a dog, I'm pouncing on them like sausage and gravy biscuits!!
Oregon @ UCLA - Both teams off of first losses of the season. Perhaps UCLA was looking ahead to this game when they played Utah last night? If they did, Oregon is going to obliterate the Bruins. The Bruins weakness was exposed during week 1 vs UVA, it's their "D". They suck!! Utah moved the ball at will vs the Bruins and Oregon is going to be on their sharpest focus they've been on all year after losing to Arizona at home on Nat'l TV. Mariota everyone knows about now and teams focus on containing him, but the factor here is Ducks "D" is a bit better than UCLA's "D". This line will probably be a pickem and I see Oregon winning by 7 or more here. Oregon won LY 42-14 at home.
USC @ Arizona - USC gets a hail mary on 'em vs Arizona St backup QB? Nice job Sark!! Arizona undfeated and off big road win over Oregon last Thursday night and now will be a home fav more than likely or another pickem game. Both teams to me are even talent wise, home edge to Zona for sure, coaching? Eh. Rich Rod? Ok. He does win whereever he may roam, this one will definitely be worth watching. USC won 38-31 LY at home.
Georgia @ Missouri - Missouri is undefeated, Georgia will bring "A" game, running game to Columbia, and in revenge mode, Missouri won @ Athens LY 41-26 as a 7 pt dog. I don't think Georgia will be favored in this road tilt, Missouri favored probably by 6 1/2. FG type game here.
Mississippi @ A&M - A&M off beat down at Miss St on Saturday, Ole Miss undefeated and off big home win vs the Kiffin-ator led Bama offense :142smilie A&M at home is like $$$$$, they don't lose often at home!! This line will probably be a pickem line too and I have A&M winning this one by 7 or more. Stay tuned!!
