FCS Plays:

FCS Plays:

Harvard -6 over Cornell--Both defenses are solid but I think Harvard has enough offense to cover this number.

Nicholls St. +1 over Northwestern State--Nicholls St. hung in for 2.5 quarters against UNI last week. I had this one at Nicholls -7.

Savannah State +20 over Chas. Southern--When two mediocre teams matchup, I like to take the 20 point home dog.

Southern -18 over Texas Southern--Texas Southern can't stop anyone and I"m betting that will continue this week.

Appalachian State -8.5 over Samford--Seems like a strange number to me. Samford has some athletes and played Elon tough, but Appy St. has got it rolling again.

Ohio St./Purdue over 45--I think Purdue will score 14 or so as Ohio State may be in a little bit of a letdown spot. Buckeyes will eventually get on track and stretch it out at home. Another key factor is when Pryor comes out Boeckman is in and Tressel lets him throw more than he would normally do with a backup.

Michigan/Toledo under 52.5--Toledo's QB is struggling and that will continue this week. Even though Wolverines were gashed by Juice last week, they should control things against the Rockets. If Ball St. can shut Toledo out, I would think Michigan can hold them to two scores or less. Wolverines' offense will look much better against Toledo's defense but not well enough to get close to this number.

OOPS.
It's the alcohol BG.
I meant Cornell in the first pick, obviously.
