Minnesota -28.5 over Rutgers ******
Not getting off the Rutgers train yet...vs Indiana last week it was 21-0 in the 1st qrt.. Indy scored a touchdown in the 1st 10 seconds and again an again.. it was 21-0 with 6 minutess left in the 1st qrt.always worried about backdoor covers buts its a conference game so I think there are less chance ...Rutgers is in shambles No qb and freshmen Langan . RU has been outscored 165-7 so far..since the UMass game.
"was thrown to the wolves"..with Sitkowski red shirting and top rb Blackshear doing the same..Langan cannot throw the ball...again he is only 4-5 months from his HS senior prom...he threw for 1 net yard vs Indiana and played the whole game... realizing he couldn't throw theey ran on 3rd and long on every play...the good news was he didn't throw an interception...but Rutgers OL was man handled by Indy def line...Ol was pushed back on every play...even Pacheco the top rb at RU couldn't run the ball...RU defense was also bad...they gave up some big plays that Indy scored on or gained big yards...this is now 2 weeks in a row where Maryland and Indy dominated the defense... Minny is 6-0 although they have played Illi,Purdue,Ga So,Fresno and South Dakota but last week knocked off Nebraska 34-7..in last 2 games defense has given up 10 total points..they are physical up front on both lines have good rb's and wr;s..very disciplined with few penalties.... Its homecoming in NJ this week but see Gophers beating up on a bad Rutgers team by +35-40...Gophers heads might be a little swollen at 6-0 and saying " bring on Ohio's,Wisky and the Michigan s..." now lets hold it for a second...lets concentrate on Rutgers who only lost by 2 pts last year to Minny... so Minny shouldn't take them lightly...and not sure if Minny can score 10 seconds into the game but think they win big and cover... RU fans want to know if there is a Vegas bet on Langan passing yds ..." if he gets 4 yds he will quadruple last weeks number"

Minny -28.5 over Rutgers *******
love this game even more.. Minny has some talent even though they are 6-0 and haven't played a big time schedule...going vs Rutgers who is 0-6 and just in a "train wreck"..RU has a 3rd string freshmen qb starting...again had a total of 1 passing yd vs Indians last week...Ol can't protect or make holes vs ang DL...this team has it "rock bottom"..its homecoming today and there will be a small home crowd..wr get no separation,and have one player Pacheco who is talented...Minny has a decent qb in Morgan who is 4th in the nation in passing efficiency...runs out of the pocket and needs to slide..he takes on the LB's head on..but Minny has 3 rb's that are outstanding. Smith is explosive,Brooks and Ibrahim are tough...the Minny OL has played outstanding so far..Ol plays that zone blocking and lateral side to side open ups holes...the Lincoln tunnel runs from NY-NJ and think Minny OL might have that much room vs RU DL...DL and Db's have been killed this yr..they do have some decent LB's...its going to be a long day in NJ...Minny will be 7-0 getting ready for the big boys...the only thing that concerns me is that about 7 or 8 coaches have ties to each other.. PJ Fleck coach of Minny coached at Rutgers ,the trainer,strength coach,etc all have coached with each other...so does PJ take "his foot off the pedal" late in the game...maybe when the score is 44-0 hopefully...Gophers win big...

Have a few under dogs here
UTSA +4 over Rice **
Think the Roadrunners could win out right

Mid tenn +7.5 ovr North Texas **
NT has a problem covering at home and has lost 4 games already..Sigger top rb is out and Fine NT's qb is banged up.. NT defense is bad so think MT can stay with them. NT will have problems containing O'Hara dual threat qb

Wash +3 over Oregon **
Huskies at home...Ducks on fire and with there defense they are winning games on that side of the game..but I'll take the Huskies at home getting a few points

Tulane +4 over Memphis ***
Wave run that spread option offense...Memphis plays solid defense but this team is so explosive with a dual threat qb..if he could pass with some accuracy they could run the table...Waves only loss was to Auburn

Temple +8 over Smoo **
Owls playing good..think there defense slows down the Mustangs

FL St +1.5 over Wake ***
its my " rip van winkle " play....if you fell asleep for 20 years and woke up and see Wake is favored over FSU you wouldn't believe it...and I still don't ...no way FSU loses to Wake...

blowouts
Had Ohio St last nite but didn't post it ..so no play

Houston -23 over UConn ***
Coogs blow away Huskies ..they blew away NT which has an offense but no defense.. Huskies don't have either..

FIU -24 to UTEP **
UTEP is bad and think FIU pours it on ..they have had over 500 yds on offense in last few games..UTEP can't play defense

Oklahoma -33 over West Vir ****
Played a tough game vs Texas but will unleash vs WV...blowout big

UCF -33 over ECU ***
They have lost to Cinny and Pitt...they will run the table and start mowing down teams...had a bye week to think about Cinncy game...ECu was beaten bad by NC St and Navy..beating the ODU's Garden Webbs and William and Marys don'r cut it..

Bama -34.5 vs Tenn **
Vols in trouble right after the flip of the coin..

Texas -21 over Kansas **
' Is Texas back "...losing to OU and LSU was somewhat expected..this will tell you are they really back

other games
Ok St -3 over Baylor ***
Bears are 6-0 but Pokes are tough to beat with top rb and wr...think the bubble burst today with the Bears..

Navy -14 over USF ***
Perry running the wish to perfection...USF defense will have problems all day plus think there qb is out today

Cinncy -17 over Tulsa **
Cinncy qb Ridddle is tough... Tulsa defense in trouble.. # ot loss to Smoo,Navy blew them away..


back later with a few more





UCF -33 vs ECU ***

Hey Box...

Did you handicap the TCU @ K-State game? TCU is so schizophrenic at QB, yet explosive on the ground. If TCU can hold on to the ball and pound the ground I see a cover. But I haven't seen K-State play this year and haven't a feel for their run defense.

I always look first for your handicapping on this site.
Thanks.
