I haven't played these yet......usually wait till Fridays at ?105, so input appreciated. :)

Wisconsin ?6
? Week off for Wisconsin to rest
? Wisconsin only allowing 90 yards a game on the ground
? I see Wisconsin controlling Minnesota?s ground game and letting Cupito beat them - I will take my chances with that scenario b/c I think he is only as good as Minnesota?s ground game that day
? 4th road game in the last 5 games for the Gophers
? Minnesota has looked dreadful on the road this year
? Not only is Wisconsin still in the hunt for a national championship, they are playing for PB?s Axe and want to avenge last year's 37-34 loss in the dome
? In 1993 the Badgers had a great chance to finish the year undefeated, but slipped up against the Gophers, I don't think it happens again

Penn state -3.5
? Northwestern coming off a big win vs. Purdue
? Northwestern is a large public play and the wrong team appears to be favored
? Trap game? Do we see Anthony Morelli?

Colorado state +26.5
? Utah's D has let up some big yard totals in some games this year -see them a little venerable
? Although Utah is 7-1 ATS, it seems like every year teams have that "scare" game or slip on the banana peal
? I think this is Utah?s "scare" game. If state can get some sort of rushing game, I think they will be able to throw on Utah and stay within the number

Iowa State +5
? Home dogs have been good for me this year
? Iowa State is still in the hunt for the horrible Big 12 north title. It actually looks as if they are in the drivers seat with Nebraska and Missouri as their next two opponents
? Nebraska on the road has been bad this year
? Matt Herian out for the year for an already bad offensive football team
? Cyclone defense has been pretty solid against the run this year

Syracuse -4
? Pitt is something like 1-8 in their last nine in the dome
? Syracuse is a different team in the dome
? This is only Pitt?s third road game this year (losing to Uconn and struggling to beat Temple)
? Pitt has trouble stopping the pass giving up 270 yards a game
? Patterson has been improving and seems to play better in the dome
? When given a chance, I will always bet against Walt Harris - horrible game coach (this goes back to back singing gate penalties on the extra point vs. Texas A&M two years ago cost them the 14-12 loss at home, I have felt this way - the guy can recruit and teach, but with in game decisions, I don't trust him

Notre dame +7
? With Brent Schaeffer broking his collar bone vs. South Carolina, I think it is an advantage to ND in how they prepare for the game??.not having to prepare for both mobile type and drop back type
? Irish has had two weeks to think about blowing the BC game at home.
? I just like the Irish in this spot ? kind of like the PSU play ? with the gut more than anything


Two other leans I like, but too sure of yet

Texas A&M +12.5
Arizona +1.5

I like Wisconsin, but I can't ever put a bet on Penn St. with that horrific offense, even though they could have the best BIG 10 D. And with NW hyped up after a Purdue win, I see them pumped for this game too. As long as they come out strong and get a score, I don't see PSU getting back into it without a decent offense. I just can't put my money on a D scoring
