wvu (-7.5) 2 units. a lot of love for wvu here, and i'm jumping on board. tough loss last week for tech. their defense couldn't stop a pop warner team right now. they've given up 133 points over the last 2 games. insane. there are teams that haven't given up 133 points all season. i'm breaking my rule of never batting on a qb named skyler, but even howard should be able to light up this defense.
tt/wvu over (81) 3 units. since joseph was lost for the season, wvu's defense has been gashed, too. first team to 50 wins this game! i'll go ahead and call the final score... wvu 63-45.
georgia (-16) 1 unit. all the talk is about how georgia can't score, and rightfully so. but uk has shit the bed after dropping the game against auburn, losing the last 2 weeks by a combined 94-37. i have a feeling georgia is going to find their offense today.
indiana (+6.5) 2 units
indiana (ML) 2 units to win 4.2. iowa's defense has been good, but they have played an impressive collection of bad offenses. here is their opponents' rank in scoring offense:
84
90
119
69
102
110
98
indiana is "only" ranked 46th, but that includes the game against psu, when sudfeld missed the game and they scored 7 points. throw out that game, and indiana is 22nd in the country in scoring offense. this is by far the best offense iowa has seen this year.
iowa also just might get caught looking ahead to minnesota, who blew out the hawkeyes by 37 last year.
indiana should be a very, very live dog today.
emu (ML) 2 units to win 3.4. hey, how 'bout some saturday maction? 2 horrible teams, gotta take a shot with the doggie. at least emu already had a road win against a D1 team this year, at wyoming. miami has only beaten presbyterian this season.
bc (ML) 2 units to win 3.3. the eagles catch nc st between clemson and fsu. bc may need to get a shutout to win this game, because they sure won't score many points.
psu (pk) 2 units. looking at this game, i was shocked to see hackenburg has only thrown 2 picks this year, and none since the 3rd game of the season. anyway, even if he doesn't turn the ball over, he's only completing 55% of his passes and northwestern ranks 3rd nationally in pass defense efficiency. i don't see either offense moving the ball today, but i think psu can do just enough to get a win.
psu/nw under (41) 2 units. really, just no offense.
usc (-19) 2 units. speaking of being shocked... 19 points? seriously? holy shit, they are BEGGING for arizona money. suddenly the wildcats can't stop anybody. maybe they need to follow usc's lead and fire their coach.
tcu (-5) 2 units. maybe this one is too easy. but i swore last week that i was going to bet against this overrated ok st team every week. when they were down 17-0, i thought it was paying immediate dividends. well, i'm hoping tcu's defense finally figured it out last week and they slow down the cowboys. ok st's defense is pretty bad, so tcu shouldn't need too many stops to get an easy win.
clemson (-10) 2 units. i don't like the line drop, but clemson should dominate this game. fsu's schedule has been incredibly easy up to this point.
navy/memphis over (64.5) 2 units. the tigers' run defense has actually been solid this year, but they haven't seen anything like this option. and navy has not been good against the pass. i think both teams will move the ball fairly easily. memphis might give up some back door points, too, as they start sneaking a peek ahead at houston and temple.
alabama (-7) 3 units. alabama has struggled the last couple years against some spread offenses, but a star running back? that is in their wheelhouse. they're going to make harris beat them. if he does, ok, i'll tip my cap to him. the biggest advantage in this game for alabama? saban vs miles. definitely not a fair fight.
cal (+3.5) 3 units
cal (ML) 2 units to win 3. let's see... oregon has lost both conference home games. in their other 2 home games, they gave up 28 to a bad georgia st team and 42 to eastern washington. oh, and they have stanford on deck. goff should have a huge game against a defense that is 98th in the country in pass efficiency.
mtsu (-3) 3 units. lemme get this straight... the 3-5 blue raiders are favored over the 8-1 thundering herd? ok, this is either a terrible line or a trap, begging for marshall money. i'm betting it's the latter.
