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)
