Saturday and Sunday's Fun and Games

Alright lets get right down to the action. Don't forget the 4 Saturday games posted in Wednesday's posting.

Wake Forest -8 at UNC. Bunting got canned the season is over, blah blah blah.

Wisconsin -21 over Illinois. Wisconsin has been dominant the last 4 weeks and no reason it should stop this week at home.

Vanderbilt -8.5 at Duke. Duke blew their load for the season in an upset bid over Miami last week and still could not do it against a depleted Miami lineup. Let down week against lowly Vanderbilt who again looks destined to fall one game short of bowl bid.

BYU -8.5 at Air Force. Air Force has given up big points to passing teams and BYU has been a juggernaut this season.

Baylor +5 over Texas A&M. I am sticking with Baylor since this is a key home game where they would be in a position for a bowl. Baylor's passing offense is clicking and the Aggie Pass D is giving up tones of yards over the last few weeks as well. Upset win for the Bear at home but I would take the points.

Purdue +3 over Penn State. Purdue's offensive power will hide their defensive weakness.

Ohio St. -27 over Minnesota. By the way, has anyone noticed how pathetic the Big Ten has been this year against 1-AA teams. Minnesota beat North Dakota St. 10-9. Ugh, do I need to say more. Well I will, it is homecoming at Ohio State so that will even have the scrubs playing well to show off for their friends in a 40 point rout.

USC -10.5 at Oregon St. Will the real So Cal please wake up? Hopefully with a week off and a healthy Jarrett they will be back to their old selves.

Nevada/New Mexico St. over 64. Nevada has become more of a ball control team season but unless their players intentionally fall down they will not slow down the game enough to keep this game under.

Marshall -9.5 at Memphis. This play is all about Memphis sucking and Marshall coming home off a big upset win on the road.

Mississippi St. +1 over Kentucky. I like the Miss St defense to hold firm and scrape out a big win.

I was going to take Kansas and the Fighting Mangino's but they have been playing like the Dripping Manginas in conference so forget it.

Wyoming +6 at TCU. The Cowboys are red-hot and they will corral themselves a bunch of frogs this weekend. I appreciate that TCU finally has a healthy backfield but Wyoming seems like they are finally turning a corner this season where they have not lost by more then one score all year.

East Carolina +6 at Southern Miss.

Idaho +26 at Hawaii. Hawaii is a scoring machine but then the Vandals have shown they too can put up point this especially when playing an unimpressive Rainbow Defense.

Idaho/Hawaii over 71. Hawaii's last 4 Div 1 games have been cleared 71 and it should continue.

Sunday NCAA

Rutgers -19 over Conn. Rutgers has some extra days until a Thursday night showdown against Louisville so there should not be a letdown here. And as I said last week, UConn can't stop the run for the whole game.

Sunday NFL

Two doggies this week.

Jets +2 at Cleveland. Is this a misprint? Cleveland at 1-5 as a favorite here.

Indy +3 at Denver. Denver stumbled against the Rams early in the season and I think you might see a similar game this week. Lots of field goals from Indy and Denver has not shown they can score.

Have a good weekend and let's hope Northwestern does not lose too badly to Michigan.
