At first glance, two game for next week stick out for me. I am not sold on either pick just yet but will be digging deeper into these matchups over the next couple of days.
Texas Tech (-9.5) at Nevada
If Grambling passed for 225 yards against the Wolf Pack, what do you think the Red Raiders are going to do? Granted, Nevada rushed for 425 yards as a team but Tech?s defensive front is greatly improved this year as is their secondary which had three interceptions against Eastern Washington. Tech passed for 639 yards on Saturday and if they can avoid the penalties (18 for 169 yards), they should be able to do the same against Nevada
Utah State (+35) at Oregon
Sure, Oregon throttled Washington by 34 points but that was the Huskies. Diondre Borel will probably start at QB this week for the Aggies and he played pretty well in the second half this past week and he is a dual threat. Duck QB Roper was pegged to be the backup before Costas tore up his knee in practice last week and now Roper was knocked out of Saturday?s game with a mild concussion. They are not going to be able to hang with the Ducks but I think that again this week, the linesmaker is not giving Utah State enough credit.
