UL Monroe -6.5 over Utah St *****
An off the beaten path game but in the Sun belt conf.UL was in the hunt for 1st until they got beat by North Texas 45-30 last week.But stat wise killed NT getting over 30 1st downs,457 yds total offense and dominating possesion 33 minuts to 16.But turnovers,penalties,etc and they lose by 15.But prior to the NT game they beat a good FAU team on the road 17-14,Idaho by 2 on the rd and FIU by 8 at home.Weatherbie was 1-11 lyr since taking over.Now they are 3-5.
There qb Jyles has over 2,000 yds lyr and this yr around 1500.He leads the SBelt in rushing for Qb's and is dangerous.He had 100 rushing yds vs NT last week.OL is pretty good but he has some tall WR's at 6'3 and 6'4.
UL defense bedsides the NT game has given up 14,20 and 13 pts.
Utah St is 2-6 and 1-4 ats as an away dog.Off Line is their biggest problem.They can't open up holes for a running game and cannot pass protect.
In last 2 games they have given up 18 sacks[Clemson 11 and Mid Tenn 7] Despite playing a good 1st half vs Clemson they were shut out 21-0 to Mid Tenn.They have been outscored 56-6 in last 2 games.Aggie qb has been on his back looking at the "big dipper constellation". RThey can't run the ball either.They have a total of 10 yds rushing in past 2 games.[-20 vs Clemson and +30 vs MT] A month ago they did beat UNLV for one of there 2 wins.
But with no offense,a qb Cox who has 7 td's and 13 ints,no OL,no running attack and a defense that could have trouble controlling a double threat qb and some big Wr's the Aggies are in trouble today.
Think Aggie Qb will be again looking up into the constellation as he is sacked a few more times.

Army +4 over AF * Was leaning the other way.Impossible game to cap.Both defenses are bad ranked in the bottom 20 in almost every catogory.AF is benching frosh qb.Both teams have rushing offense in top 20.It's been so long since Army has beaten the Flyboys.But option offense could give Cadets big time problems.
AF has lost 10 of last 15 games since lyr's Navy loss.That's unreal.They beat Army who was winless,UNLV 2 times,East Wash and New mex.
My brain says AF "wish" covers but my heart is on Army and Bobby Ross's new offense.Game is soldout.I had tickets to it but my HS football team made the playoffs and there playing at the same time.

taking for a box * all these small plays
Northwestern +3.5 over Penn St
BC -14 over Rutgers..RU has 17 To's in last 4 games.
Pitt +4 over Cuse
Georgia -24 over kentucky * like this game.Blowout
Texas Tech -31 over Baylor..lets go for 70 pts
Oregon +20.5 over Cal
So car -4 over Ark
BYU -10 over San Diego St ** 2nd best play today. Two teams going in dif directions.SD lost by 10 on the rd to Wyoming and NM.Lost to CSU at home and got blown away by Utah last week.BYU has played ND,Stanford,USC and Boise.They can move the ball vs SD's defense.

Houston -16 over ECU...Not playing this yet.ECU qb and starting center were involved in a car accident the other nite.Open container,problems etc.The center is suspended but Pickney who was named Conf USA Pl of week hurt his leg.He is listed as questionable tonite.It's a game time decision.
My son being a Pirate says"I haven't seen him but the rumor on campus is he's not playing".But we all know that could be BS.If he's not though the Coogs could win because their backup Qb Robinson runs option and ECU new offense is a spread out passing attack.Now your asking a QB who is not used to a passing offense to adjust.
Kolb Coogs qb could have big game

Last week went 10-7 but again lost boxes due to top teams losings.
Changing a little.
UL Monroe *****
BYU **
and the rest small plays and maybe a parlay here and there
