emu (-7) 2 units. interesting game to start with. emu has really turned things around. they are 5-3 one season after going 1-11. and they have covered 6 straight games. and now they find themselves laying a td to a team that has won 2 straight after starting 0-6. i like the eagles to continue playing well. miami's 2 wins were over teams with a combined mac record of 1-7. one of emu's wins was ohio's only mac loss.
wake forest (-7) 2 units. starting out kinda chalky in here. wake has done a great job against the option, allowing army to score a total of 46 points the last 3 years. and after a 3-0 start (where the hell did THAT come from?), army is really regressing, with losses to buffalo, duke, and north texas.
texas tech (+9.5) 2 units
texas tech (ML) 2 units to win 6.3. the red raiders have a legit shot to win this game. obviously tcu is nowhere near as good as they've been in recent years. their defense is bad, especially their pass defense, which is allowing over 8 yards/attempt. well, texas tech leads the nation in passing offense, putting up 174 yards per game more than the 2nd ranked pass offense. and tech will be out for revenge, after tcu beat them last year on a last-minute 4th down tipped pass in the end zone.
indiana (-3.5) 2 units. yup, i'm on the hoosiers again. their game against nw last week was painful. but i think they are a much better team than maryland. and the terps, coming off their win over michigan st, may be looking ahead to their next 3 games... against michigan, ohio st, and nebraska.
mary/ind under (54) 3 units. this is a big game for both teams' bowl hopes, and i think that will be reflected in the defensive intensity we're going to see. the under is 5-1 in maryland games and 6-1 in indiana games. first team to 17 wins.
texas (+3.5) 2 units
texas (ML) 2 units to win 3.1. baylor's opponents are 12-30 on the year. the bears have played 2 road games, at rice and iowa st. combined records of 2-12. those 2 wins are over prairie view and san jose st. this is only texas' 3rd true home game this season, and the first 2 were easy wins, albeit against poor teams.
neb/wis under (43) 3 units. tommy armstrong against a good defense. wisconsin's offense against 11 warm bodies. who's going to score in this game?
duke (+6.5) 2 units
duke (ML) 2 units to win 4.2. wagering against a mediocre georgia tech team. duke has been ok on the road, with a win at nd and they only lost at louisville by 10. the blue devils have beaten georgia tech as a 'dog the last 2 years. and the yellow jackets haven't won a conference game played in this country since last year.
ucf (+10) 2 units
ucf (ML) 1 unit to win 3. great turnaround for ucf, one season after going 0-12. the knights are 3-0 SU and ATS on the road against teams not named "michigan." and houston has to be reeling after losing 2 of their last 3.
michigan (-24) 2 units. you think harbaugh has reminded his team that they've lost 3 straight to sparty? if there's one thing we know about harbaugh, it's that he will not take his foot off the gas. they are going to take out a lot of frustration on the boys in green. i'll call it... 45-0.
