NCAAF: 6 Power Plays For Week 12

[riggs]

Akron -2.5 over Buffalo, Akron should slaughter Buffalo at home. This line is off (imo). Akron has been very impressive this year. loss

Kent St. +2.5 over Temple, Temple is not a good road team historically & not a very good football team. Kent St. is much better than their record would have you believe. I like Kent St. to win! win

Michigan -3½ over Northwestern, Michigan is home and they're playing better football right now. At the start of the season I had a feeling Michigan would struggle, but with that said, they have some young talent on that team and I expect them to prevail over a banged up NW team. pending

NC State Wolfpack +4 over Wake Forest, NC State has been very good as of late and I think they grab this one straight out or at least lose by no less than a fg! pending

Navy Midshipmen +3½ over ND, Navy will have success running the ball and they'll take this one at home. pending

FSU Seminoles -7 over Boston College, FSU will shut down BC on Defense. Look for points to be scored on Defense & Special teams in FSU's favor. QB play has been better at FSU and they'll be able to run the ball on BC. pending

Looks nice to me!!

I hope so, I did better last year with my college picks, but hey, crazy s*** has occured this year. I'm taking a closer look at two other games this Saturday and will post them soon!

[Dbldown11]

just curious but what road games has temple lost this year that makes them horrible on the road???? They havnt been blown out at all, and all their road losses are to fairly solid teams IMO.

Also Kent St. is garbage, theyve beaten a DivII school, and a horrible Miami OH. team.

Im on Temple myself

[Dbldown11]

correction....they were blown out at Penn St. but you can't really count that game considering this is Kent St. we are talking about

Historically, Temple gets smashed on the road! I've followed them for the past 10 years, my brother played for temple in the 90's. Temple is a basketball school, their football program is a disgrace. I'm not hyping up Kent St. All I'm saying is that I've seen them play this year and they're better than their record would have you believe & I believe this is a game they can win. Hey sometimes you just got to take a shot!

Not to sound like an a**hole, but aren't you the same guy who predicted a close one between Ball St. and N. Illinois?

As a matter of fact I think I remember you saying that NIU would beat Ball St. straight up because Ball St. is one of the most overrated teams in the nation! lol

I laughed that one all the way the bank...

If Temple was such a good team I doubt this line would only be at -2.5, somethings smells here so I'm takin a shot. Kent St. might get hammered, we'll have to wait and see which team shows up.

In all seriousness, Good Luck!

[Dbldown11]

well good luck and ball st is overrated anyone that thinks they are top 15 in nation is crazy....temple is historically bad however this isn't the temple teams of old

[Dbldown11]

I think the line is so low because people remembr how bad temple used to be. they rnt giving them credit for being much better (which they are). but like I said...good luck with whatever u decide

[riggs]

2-1 so far, not too bad!

If you go back a few days I also selected these games in another thread.

Ball St. -17 over Miami (OH), Miami (oh) is very over matched here. This spread should be 20-24!

Central Michigan +3 over N. Illinois, N. Illinois struggles at critical times on offense and C. Michigan has an outstanding QB. I like C. Michigan in a close one.

Miami -4 over V.Tech, Not a strong play here but I can't say that I like this young offense on the road in a night game at Miami.
