Here are a couple I found from last week, not as many as the past few weeks. Last week they led to about 4 winners on my card. Any others post as well.
I also didn't see any great look ahead spots this week. Maybe Fresno at Toledo, they are at UCLA next week, this may be the classic sandwich game with BCS opponents on the outside.
Week 3 CFB
September 11 - September 13
Michigan 17 at Notre Dame 35
Michigan had 7 more 1st downs, a 388-260 yd advantage, and set the Irish up with 2 short TD drives. Notre Dame also had a fumble return for a touchdown and benefitted from 6 Michigan turnovers. By far Michigan's best offensive performance this year and they lose by 18.
Iowa St 5 at Iowa 17
Iowa St controlled time of possesion, had 7 more 1st downs and outgained Iowa 325 to 244. Iowa goes on the road this week to Pittsburgh, I'd be careful backing Iowa against a team they should be a 5-7 point underdog against. The line looks short, and watch the people line up to bet them. If they can't move the ball at home how are they going to do it on the road. It's Pittsburgh or nothing for me, depending on the line movement.
Georgia Tech 17 at Virginia Tech 20
Georgia Tech dominated a game they lost, and was -3 in turnovers as well. They outgained VT 387-247 as well. Virginia Tech continues to struggle moving the ball, take a look at playing against them on the road or playing the under the rest of the way. Paul Johnson coach of Georgia Tech is making things happen.
Western Michigan 51 at Idaho 28
WM didn't dominate this game as much as the margin of victory. Idaho outgained them 455-416, had more 1st downs, and controlled T.O.P. Don't take a ton from this victory from WM. Idaho is bad.
Cal 27 at Maryland 35
Cal outgained Maryland 461-297, had 7 more first downs and 8 penalties. Maryland had TD drives of 14, 39, and another FG set up in Cal territory. This game doesn't prove anything to me. Maryland played great saturday against a west coast team, travelling cross country for a noon time est start in a non conference matchup.
North Carolina 44 at Rutgers 12
Rutgers actually outgained NC 383-378. They lost the turnover battle -5 as well. Nice win for NC, but lets see a couple in a row before getting too high on them.
