3% COLLEGE PLAY-Ohio U by 22 -BUFF IS THE WORST TEAM IN DIVISION 1 BALL. Last year Ohio was an 8 pt HF but won SU 34-32 t. The Bobcats have played a much tougher schedule and are have much more talent on both sides of the ball. The Bulls are just 4-7 ATS as a HD. Starting QB Ray should return this week OU played UK much closer than the 35-14 score shows, as Kentucky had just 18-16 FD and 321-295 yd edges. The Bulls hung in there with a lethargic Marshall team. OU is avg 203 ypg rushing while Buff is undersized and is giving up 237 ypg rushing (5.45 ypc!). Ohio has played well vs a tough schedule NIU and KU but dumb mistakes have cost them They 2-5 and will take there frustration out on this overmatched-undercoached Buff squad, OhioU 35 BuffU 13
3% NFL PLAY MINNESOTA-GIANTS OVER THE TOTAL - These 2 teams have the #1 offense and #7 offenses. The Giants just keep turning the ball over in the red zone.Meanwhile the normally vaunted G-men d is giving up 260 yards a game in the air.This is due or die for the Giants and the only way they have a chance is to score because in our minds there is no way they stop this Vike O unless they stop themselves. Fassel has solid talent on the team to score and they can move the ball as their #7 rating shows.. The NYG are the more desperate team here and could make things interiesting for the Vikes especially with MIN playing the PACK next week. VIKES 27 GIANTS 23
