Both teams with offenses that have been stopped all year and with some horrid losses and unimpressive wins. This game's going to come down to field position, special teams and coaching. This may be the first game in Tuberville's career that they have an edge on the sidelines.

Auburn +3

See this game as being tight throughout and Boise taking control late, I'd be on SJS for the first half but an early BSU TD drive would be deadly. Both teams avg about 3 yds/rush and 6 yds/attpt on D, but Broncos bring a bit more with their passing attack

Boise -7

Spent most of the week thinking that I would be backing Washington this week, but with Locker out and frosh playing all over the place, the only upset that the Husky can pull off is against a team that's uninterested and that won't be a ND team trying to prove that they can win on the road. Washington's D doesn't get much rush and Clausen's at the point in his career where he won't make mistakes without pressure unless it's 40 yards downfield. Hopefully, it works out because I can't think of a worse scenario for an Irish fan than seeing an 0-6 Willingham team beat Weis in year 4 while Bob Davie talks about how hard it is to recruit elite athletes to South Bend

Notre Dame -10

Ohio State's fans have always been passionate in a creepy way, but tonight they have a chance to be loud as well. What's been lost since the USC debacle is that this is probably Tressel's most talented team that he's had. Bringing a frosh to QB is a worry, but the Buckeyes run game should be enough to move the chains early. If PSU gets up by two scores early - it's over, but I don't see that happening. On a side note, Penn State's faithful will be heading to Columbus for the first time since this hit the internets.

Lion fans are lucky that the Buckeye fans are so hospitable, calm and cool or this would have the possibility for some mindless retaliation.

Ohio State +3 (-120)

Both of these look to ez, but I can't figure out any reason to take the home teams.

Bama -5
Minnesota -1

Also . . .

Wake +3
Iowa State -3
Michigan State +3.5
Florida State -6.5
