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.
