Week 8: Saturday's Fun

Well had a good start to the weekend last night going 2-1, maybe this will be the start of a profitable weekend.

BC did not play well but did what they needed to do unlike the last few #2 teams in the land.

Saturday

South Florida -4 at UConn and Under 45.5. U Conn finally faces a strong team this week and it will be interesting to see what happens. Although they are at home, they face a strong South Florida team that knows how to play and win low scoring games. I like USF to put up a win here by 11. 21-10.

Indiana/Wisconsin over 58. I am not smelling a lot of defense in this game.

Wake Forest-5.5 over North Carolina. If this were some sort of game that mattered, I might think UNC would keep it close but this is a meaningless game for them in a lost season.

Ball State +14 at Illinois. Ball State is playing a tough schedule this season and has been great in all of their non-conf games so far. This is a warm up before playing at instate rival Indiana but they are coming of a confidence building win at Western Michigan. 4-0 ATS on the road this season, I will stick with Ball State.

Vanderbilt -13.5 over Miami-OH. Each team faces a similar dilemma right now over whether Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde will show up to play. Vandy again has the potential to go bowling after an upset win last week at South Carolina.

Kansas -3 at Texas A&M. Things are not looking up at A&M despite a 6-2 record since it is more likely then not they will have a new HC next year. I like Kansas to rise up to the occasion and pull out a big road win.

Tulane -1.5 over Memphis. Tulane is going to run all over Memphis.

Oregon -3 over USC. Quack Quack, Ducks are looking to change some trends against SC this week at home.

Clemson -3 at Maryland.

Virginia -3 at NC State.

Both these ACC picks are similar for me. They just are what they are. I hate all 4 teams but NC State blows and Virginia has handled adversity well this season. Maryland's QB is banged up and Clemson is coming off a total romp. Hopefully the offense will not forget what to to.

Kentucky -14 over Mississippi St. Kentucky finally has an easier game this week. I look for them to get healthy and happy in a big way.

New Mexico St. +29.5 at Hawaii. Hawaii might a little rusty and NMST has their starting QB Holbrook back in the saddle.

MTSU -12.5 at North Texas. North Texas is terrible.
