5-3-1 last week, been doing great in college but ass raped in the pros.
:s6:

Purdue @
Penn St -15

Penn St -15

-This one is pretty simple Purdue sucks this year. They have not covered a line all year. Purdue defense has given up an average of 32.3 points a game this year and Penn State has been putting up about that many points on average at home this year. Penn State defense at home has been very impressive with only giving up an average 12.8. This Saturday will be another big loss added to Purdue's already long season. Robinson and with his abilities he should be able to shred through Purdue's poor defense.

Clemson @
Georgia Tech -3

Clemson +3

-Well no favorable trends for either team and the line is right where it should be at -3. Both teams defense gives up points and offensively they both put up points. They both put up around 28 points a game and defensively they give up around 20 points a game. So the good play on this one could be the over. But I have one those instincts plays like Mich last week and I have followed Clemson this year and this is a solid football team that plays good ball. And Clemson is 8-5 since 92 against Georgia Tech and the spread. Bottom line going with my gut feeling and Clemson wins this one outright.

Navy @
Rutgers -6.5

Rutgers -6.5

-Navy scares me a little just cause of they are 5-1 in all lined games but if you look at the teams they have played this season it is not too an impressive of an stat. The Rutgers are coming off a big win last week against Uconn. I have played the Rutgers several times this year and I feel that they should cover this one at home. But this still not an easy game to pick.

Georgia @ O/U 40.5
Florida -4

Georgia +4 Under 40.5

-This line almost seems like a gift which worries me. And I have a feeling this line will most likely be under a field goal by the start of the game. Yeah Shockley is out but all this QB has to do is not turn the ball over. Plus I am intrigued with the whole story behind Joe Tereshinski, could this be his time to shine. And I love that bulldog defense. Georgia has only gave up an average of just under two TDs all year and holding opposing offenses under 300 yards per game. Georgia's offense stats are tainted with a new QB under center this Saturday. Florida's defense hasn't been all that bad either except on the road they give up an average of 26.7 points a game. I just have not been impressed with Urban's offense this season and I think Leak has been experienced some growing pains with learning a new offense. I just don't Urban's offensive of plan fits Leak. Honestly the best play in this game is the under. But if you have been following the SEC this year I think the obvious pick is Georgia in this one.

UCLA @ -7
Stanford

UCLA -7

-This one is an easy call it is simple as UCLA scores an average of 44 points while Stanford gives up an average of 33 points at home. This game will be a shootout but I can see UCLA winning by double digits in this one.

Texas Tech @ -12
Baylor

Texas Tech -12

-I have been on Tech all year long but I went against last week. Tech does have a great offense and after last week embarrassment I see them coming out swinging. Baylor hasn't see an offense like this all year long. In the last two games Tech has blown Baylor out the water and this Saturday will not be any different. Tech is also 10-3 against the spread against Baylor. I just don't see any type of an hangover from last week.

Michigan @ -2.5
Northwestern

No play decided yet

-I have played Northwestern a lot this year and they have done great for me. Now they got Michigan who is back on track of late. I am leanign Mich but having a tough time with it. As the line drops I like Mich more and more. The problem is people are jumping on the Northwestern banwagon and once that happens the game usually goes the other way. Most likely I will end up playing Mich on this one.

Any and all comments and opinions are welcomed about these or any games are welcomed

Good Luck to all! :bigun:

I like OSU to cover as well but the problem is I am from columbus and a die hard fan. Everytime I bet the bucks they seem to lose hince the loss to Penn State was all my fault because I bet the Bucks. It has happend to me too many times so I have made it a rule not to bet them anymore. But all said and done they should cover easily.
