    Thursdays Games

    Last week was a winner in college going 14-11-1 for the entire week putting the season total to 151-116. We got the NFL squared back up to 7-7 for the year.

    Tonight.

    Ohio +3 over Central Michigan. Ohio plays solid defense and we will have a close game. They may not win but I don't see them loosing by more then 3.

    Cincinnati -3 over Baltimore. Baltimore is a hot team but I think Cincy will come through with the must win on the home turf. The weather may be help to Bengals passing game against a tough defense.

    Good Luck

    Gobble Gobble

    Well Bowling Green sucks. Sorry about that one. Hopefully I can make up for it starting tomorrow with a huge long weekend of games.

    Thursday NFL

    Yeah actually an NFL play. Surprise.

    KC -1 over Denver. Rivalry game and KC should be back healthy this week.

    Thursday College

    BC -3.5 at Miami. Come on. Miami has nothing left.

    Friday College

    Ohio U -3 at Miami Ohio.

    Texas A&M +13 at Texas. Too many points for Texas to cover.

    Western Mich +2 at Akron.

    Oregon St -3 at Oregon. Teams going in two different directions.

    Air Force -10 @ UNLV. The Rebels are terrible.

    I am still debating taking Colorado at Nebraska but will probably lay off.

    Saturday.

    West Virginia -20.5 over South Florida. Too much on the ground at home for the Mountaineers.

    Tennessee/Kentucky over 60. Kentucky does not have a defense and Tennessee can score with Ainge back.

    East Carolina +2.5 at NC State. Meaningless for both teams but it makes ECU a better bowl team and NC State has lost 6 straight.

    Rutgers -14 over Syracuse. Please Rutgers get it back together.

    North Carolina -6.5 at Duke. The Tar Heels have played better as of late while Duke has not improved at all.

    Oklahoma -5.5 at OK St. Ok State plays well at home but they will not able to stop the ground attack.

    BYU/UTAH over 54.

    New Mexico St -6.5 at Utah St and OVER 54. Utah State is up there with Temple at the worst team in college football and New Mexico State will score 50 on them with no problem.

    Kansas +7 at Missouri. Missouri got screwed last week and Kansas looked great beating their rival.

    San Jose St. -7 at Idaho.

    Arizona -3.5 over ASU. Maybe ASU picked the wrong QB this season, I don't know what happened but Arizona has been a great surprise winning three straight at Double Digit dogs.

    Cincinnati -3.5 at UConn. The Bearcat defense should stifle the Huskies.

    Louisville/Pitt over 58. Another shootout. Palko will put on a good show in his last home game.

    Georgia Tech +2 at Georgia. This is Tech's year.

    Virginia Tech -17 over Virginia. Beating Miami does not mean much at this point.

    Notre Dame/USC over 57.

    Purdue +17 at Hawaii. Also OVER 74. Come on now, giving 17 points to a bowl eligible Big Ten team. Both teams will score into the 40s.

    Maybe more football on Sunday check back late Friday or sat.

    Tuesday, November 21, 2006

    Recap and Tonight

    Last weekend worked out well with a 14-10-2 total for the week. Two ties pulled from wins but it beats losing. NCAA 137-105 on the season. NFL has not posted for a bit and is still at 6-7.

    Tuesday Night

    Bowling Green +6.5 at Toledo. Well Toledo is not good enough to be a favorite by this much here.

    Friday, November 17, 2006

    Some weekend college fun

    I love a nice 3-0 start to kick off the week. West Virginia looked amazing last night. Their game against Rutgers to end the season should be quite a battle. Let's hope Rutgers does not have an setbacks on the way to that game.

    Friday Night

    Central Michigan -4 at Northern Illinois. There is not much logic to this but in Central Michigan has been solid this season and would love to beat an under achieving NIU team that they have lost to 8 straight times.

    Saturday

    U Conn +1.5 at Syracuse. Wait is this basketball, well it is played in the same place in Syracuse anyway. Syracuse has just folded the last few weeks of the season while UConn is still alive for bowl bid.

    Rutgers -6.5 at Cincinnati. Rutgers had one lapse in a sandwich game (failing to cover) between Pitt and Louisville, but this team is too solid to let it happen again and this line is very light.

    Northwestern +2.5 over Illinois. Yes, I am finally playing Northwestern again. Although the scoreboard did not show it, NU played a decent first half against Ohio State and have been significantly more competitive on the field the last 4 weeks. They will win outright and stay out of the conference cellar.

    Missouri -13 at Iowa St. McCartney is done and so are the Cyclones this season.

    Minnesota -2.5 over Iowa. Gophers need the win to get to the post season.

    Navy -31.5 over Temple. Possibly 500 or 600 yards on the ground for Navy this week.

    Houston -17.5 at Memphis. Houston is hot and Memphis is not. The Memphis cover last week was against a team in the midst of failing to cover 5 in a row.

    Texas Tech -6 over Oklahoma St. The Tech passing attack is on fire and they should be able to light up the soft Cowboy defense.

    Rice +2.5 over East Carolina and OVER 55.5. Rice has been having some crazy high scoring games lately and are getting no respect at home as a dog.

    Oklahoma -20.5 at Baylor. Shockingly the Sooners have been great since losing their star tailback Peterson, and Baylor has faltered since losing their QB to season ending injury 3 weeks ago.

    Michigan +7 at Ohio St. Here it is. The Big Game. I think Michigan might get motivated to play for the memory of Bo Schembeckler who passed away today. I am not sure about who wins but I know it will be close.

    Oregon St. -14 at Stanford.

    Auburn -3 at Alabama. There seems to be alot of sentiment on Bama's side in this game but I just don't. I will enjoy my bargain line.

    BYU -26.5 over New Mexico. BYU can't be stopped right now.

    Wyoming -8 at UNLV. The perfect remember for playing badly is a matchup against UNLV.

    Idaho +12 at Fresno St. Maybe Temple should be a 12 point dog to Fresno but Idaho has proved to be much better then they are getting credit for. This would be a nice upset to cap off Dennis Ericson's return trip to Idaho as a head coach this season.

    Maryland +8 at Boston College. Maryland is getting no respect and BC plays every game close.

    Utah Even at Air Force.

    Nevada -17 at La Tech. Nevada is not going to slow down before their battle against Boise St.

    San Jose St/Hawaii under 74. This might be the best defense Hawaii will face this season. Hawaii may get to 40 points in a win by at least 2 touchdowns.

    Middle Tennessee State +15.5 at South Carolina. Three weeks in a row of tough games for the Cocks and now comes in a patsy. Oops MTSU is not a walkover having played great football for the last 6 weeks and might be ready to post their second win against an SEC team in two years.

    Thursday's Game

    Well I had a nice win last night to kick off what seems like MAC week on ESPN2.

    Here is a play on the one non-MAC weeknight game this week

    West Virginia -11 at Pitt. Also OVER 52.5. There will not be much brawl this year in this rivalry game, but there should be lots of running by West Virginia. Pitt will put up some points but will lose the game by 20 ish and Pitt will be hard pressed to keep the Mountaineers under 40.

    Tuesday, November 14, 2006

    Tuesday night

    Well it was not a bad weekend in college football for me or for the BCS since as of right now it is a pretty open race to see who will get the other spot Louisville or Auburn or Texas almost had locked in. I went 12-9-1 to get to 123 -95 for the season and did not post an NFL play. I did decide at the last minute to take the Bears and went to bed Sunday night with a smile.

    Tonight

    Time for a MAC Attack. You know they should be called MWAC (Mid-Week Athletic Conference) since all their in conference games are during the week this week but everyone sells out for TV now anyway.

    Ball St +5 at Toledo. Ball St. played an amazing game against Michigan last week and the road dog seems to always cover these midweek games.

    Thursday through Saturday's College Action

    By the way not sure why it says Tuesday since this was published around 3:30 on Thursday.

    NCAA Record 111-86. So far I seem to be stuck a just hitting 50% for the last three weeks and I am getting frustrated but at lead I am still strongly on the plus side.

    By the way, I saw a great stat that Temple is giving up double the yards they gain on offense per game. Quite impressive. At least they won a game this season but I think Villanova would have a better chance competing at a Div 1 level then then Temple. Villanova had the chance several years ago when UConn came up to expand their stadium and become a Big East football member as well.

    Tonight.

    Well the line for this game has been all over the place today and I was lucky to book it right before lunch at Louisville -5 at Rutgers. I was quite torn in this game but I think Rutgers does not have the passing game to keep up with Louisville in what could be a high scoring affair. Again the Rutgers defense has not really been tested this season, so I am not sure I have faith in their strong statistical pedigree.

    BYU -17 over Wyoming. The Mormons have dominated all of their conference foes this season and Wyoming has settled back in mediocrity after a nice mid-season run.

    Friday

    Central Michigan -5.5 over Western Michigan. CMU just seems to be covering every game this season (discounting a 16 point win but not a cover against Temple last week) and I like them again in this rivalry game among the directional Michigans.

    Saturday

    Maryland -3.5 over Miami. How the mighty have fallen into the abyss. I was in Miami last weekend and saw tons of Hokie fans walking around South Beach and on Sunday morning in the Miami Herald (by the way, great sports section, a whole section on college football every Sunday) that only 41,000 attended the game. With the additional injuries and a dead starter for Miami this week, Maryland should cruise and Coker should be released and at this point maybe school President Donna Shalayala too.

    USF -9.5 over Syracuse. Syracuse has folded against teams with solid defenses and South Florida has been solid at home, especially off an upset of Pitt in Tampa last week.

    Wisconsin (Even) at Iowa. Iowa is terrible. Did they really lose to Northwestern? I am a Northwestern fan and am totally in shock. Who plays QB for the Badgers will not matter, it will be an easy win in a low scoring game.

    Georgia Tech -13.5 at UNC. I was told by a source that UNC will not name Butch Davis as head coach until after this weekends homecoming game so to not disrespect Jim Bunting. Who cares! It will not help Georgia Tech will swallow them up.

    Cincinnati +18.5 at West Virginia. The dream is over and West Virginia might be a little hung over. This is also a sandwich game between two big Thursday night road games, last weeks loss at Louisville and next week at Pitt. Also Cincinnati is on a bit of a roll covering 5 of 6 and playing tough defense.

    Florida St -8 over Wake Forest. Well FSU seems to have the QB position set again and I think they will thrive this Saturday being able to focus on the run.

    Navy -15 v. Eastern Michigan in Detroit. EMU is not very good and Navy should have the fan advantage with their national fan base.

    Texas A&M +1 over Nebraska. I think the Aggies will rebound after last weeks tough 1 point loss to Oklahoma at home.

    Texas A&M/Nebraska over 52.5.

    Rice/Tulsa over 55.5 Games involving Rice this season have been really high scoring.

    LSU -18 over Alabama. LSU has been killing teams at home and Bama is coming off a nightmare loss last week.

    Boise St/San Jose St over 58. Boise puts up some big points this week and gives up a couple of TDs too.

    Nevada -29.5 over Utah St. Nevada has been on a tear covering their last seven and with two competent QBs to run the offense look for a big cover here.

    Baylor/Oklahoma St over 59.

    Clemson -17 over NC St. Clemson should have a nice rebound this week. At least they have not lost to bad teams this season like Clemson has in the past. NC State's coach is on his way out the door, it might hit him in the ass.

    Oregon St. -2 at UCLA. Oregon St is on a roll and UCLA has fallen apart. Oh wait I mean their coach is on crack since he is not starting Olsen again now that he is healthy.

    Oregon +8 at USC. The Trojans are just not that good.

    Hawaii -37.5 over La Tech. Hawaii is that good. They should get their fourth 60 point game out of their last 5 contests.

    Middle Tennessee St -3.5 at Arkansas St. The Blue Raiders have won and covered 4 straight in conference and is playing a slumping Arkansas St.

    Well That's All Folks! (for now at least)

    Thursday, November 02, 2006

    Saturday and Sunday (Let's Call It Road Trip Weekend)

    Well Louisville got its win but the first couple minutes was a nightmare if you are a West Virginia fan. They showed character in the end but played no defense in the second half.

    Saturday's Games

    Boston College -3.5 at Wake Forest. Wake is having a great season but they are not up to BC's level yet.

    Pitt -4.5 at USF. Pitt will wake up after the Rutgers loss in sunny Florida.

    Indiana +6 at Minnesota. I just think the wrong team is favored or at least by way too much. Indiana was at least able to get a field goal against Ohio St.

    Georgia Tech -4 at NC St.

    Vandy +17 over Florida. Florida will win but the game will be close as Florida can't hold big leads this season.

    Ohio St -23.5 at Illinios. Another week another Big Ten killing.

    North Carolina +25 at Notre Dame. I just don't think Notre Dame can beat a team by this many points.

    TCU -20 at UNLV. A healthy TCU off a big win against a weak injured sucky Rebel team.

    Hawaii -26 at Utah St. Offense offense offense.

    Wyoming -14 over SDSU. SDSU just lost to a non-Division 1-A team. That is all I need to say.

    Arkansas -2.5 at South Carolina. The Arkansas run game has not been stopped the last 7 weeks.

    Tulsa -3.5 at Houston.

    East Carolina -5.5 at UCF.

    Nevada -10 at Idaho.

    BYU -15 at Colorado St. BYU has not been stopped yet.

    Oklahoma St +18 at Texas and OVER 62.5. Lots of points and Oklahoma St is off a big win and is throwing the ball with great success.

    Virginia Tech -2.5 at Miami. This is a lost season for Miami. They might as well announce that the Head Coach is fired already.

    Sunday NCAA

    Southern Miss -6.5 at Memphis. Memphis still sucks.

    NFL

    Atlanta -5 at Detroit. Well no climate issues for the new throwing Vick here. I think he will have another 3 touchdown week.

    Chicago -13.5 over Miami. Miami is a total train wreck and their QB has past experience geting beat up by the Bears.

    Indianapolis +3 at New England. Well I see Vinaterri kicking a game winner but now he plays for Indy. This is statement time for Indy undefeated and an underdog for 2nd week in a row on the road.

    Recap and the next two nights and College Replay

    Well it was another basically "Treading Water" week followed by more of the same last night. I am now at 100- 76, nicely on the plus side but falling short of the early season promise with a 30-15 start.

    By the way, has anyone noticed that the officials in college seem to be getting worse this season and the officials in the replay boothes have lost their buzzers. Replay is not really helping the game and I don't understand why a guy in his own private booth takes so long to make some of the rulings that are being made. ESPN has most of them figured out minutes before we see action on the field. Also. . . you know the NFL has not been much better either so I will shut up.

    Tonight

    Boise St -21 over Fresno. This line has been dropping like a lead balloon and I bought the line down to 21 just to be safe. I think you will be okay at 22 or 23 but that was just my move. Boise St. is on national TV and they love the spotlight especially when at home. In addition, Fresno St crushed Boise St last season so there will be a little revenge on the Broncos minds.

    Thursday Night

    W Virginia +1.5 at Louisville. Too much strength on the ground for the Mountaineers here.

    Fridays action and the weekend will be up Thursday night or Friday.
