Wheel Spinning last week. 15-17 so far.
Temple +5 1/2 vs Tulane (Westgate). Temple has covered their last 3 games against the Green Wave. They need a win here to become eligible for a bowl bid. They normally play very tough at home. Tulane's 3 losses have come on the road. With games vs UCF and at SMU left, I think Tulane may overlook this game. getting 5 1/2 points is a big bonus.
Minnesota-Iowa Under 44 1/2 (Westgate). Minnesota is on a roll at 9-0, but who other than Penn State have they played? They know that a loss knocks them out of the Cinderella role. They will not risk losing because of a turnover. Iowa has the best defense in the Big 10 and has played a much tougher schedule than Minnesota. I see two teams grinding it out and running the clock.
Wake Forest +34 1/2 @ Clemson (Westgate). Everything points to Clemson having their way with Wake. Wake is 1-12 as a dog of 3 or more in their 2nd of back to back away games. This is what people forget. Wake is 7-2 this season after being picked to finish 5th in the ACC Atlantic at 6-6. Clemson is basically landlocked when it comes to the playoffs. If they win out, they finish below LSU and Ohio State if those two win out. If they lose, they are out. Clemson will play to win, and stay healthy. Wake can cover this rather generous spread.
Oregon -27 1/2 vs Arizona (Westgate). Oregon may cover this game in the 1st quarter. They have won 8 straight and have ut themselves back in the running for a playoff spot. Their offense is well balanced and their defense is surprisingly good. Arizona has completely fallen apart after a 4-1 start. They have lost their last 4 both S/U and ATS. Their defense has given up 189 points in those 4 losses. That averages out to over 47 ppg. This is so typical of a Kevin Sumlin coached team. His teams have had a minimum of 4 losses in their last 6 games for 5 straight season and this year looks to be more of the same.
Georgia-Auburn Under 41 (Westgate). Georgia has abandoned it's passing game for some unknown reason and depends on it's running game for points. They have averaged less than 22 ppg in their last 4 games. Auburn must depend on a Freshman at the QB position, and also depends heavily on the run. Both of these teams have very good defenses.
