YTD: 7-1 (+13.01 UNITS)

Looking to rebound of a very disappointing loss in the over on Thursday's game (42 points at half??????). Oh well, I knew the perfect run wouldn't last forever. Here's my plays for Saturday......

Rutgers -11 (-102) 2.04/2

Poor Illinois, they have no chance at stopping Rutgers rushing attack, revenge game as Illinois won 33-30 last year at Illinois. My prediction: 35-13 Rutgers.

Michigan -28 (-102) 3.06/3

C Michigan's backup QB won't perform near as well as he did vs BC at home in the opener. If Michigan's stingy D can shut down Vandy, they'll have no problem shutting down C Michigan's offense. Henne and Hart will have huge games in a blowout. My prediction: 45-6 Michigan.

N Illinois -16.5 (-106) 5.3/5 PLAY OF THE WEEK

I don't care what the line is, N Illinois will blow out a bad Ohio team at home. If N Illinois can move the ball on Ohio St's Defense, they'll have a cakewalk facing Ohio's Defense. My prediction: 49-10 Northern Illinois.

Michigan St -25.5 (-106) 3.18/3

E Michigan couldn't stop Ball St, how are they ever gonna stop Michigan St? Don't be suprised if MSU puts a 30 spot on E Michigan in the FIRST HALF. This game won't be close. My prediction: 56-13 Michigan St.

Tulsa/BYU over 52.5 (+104) 2/2.08

Two explosive offenses shoot turn this game into a track meet. Look for whoever has the ball left to win this game. My prediction: 38-35 BYU.

Colorado ML (+107) 1/1.07

Colorado will rebound off of a horrendous performance last week and will beat CSU in this rivalry game. CSU just has too many distractions to be able to pull out a W on the road. Hawkins silences his critics for now. My prediction: 24-13 Colorado.

Houston -14 (-101) 2.02/2

Tough first game of the season for Tulane as they play one of the better Conference USA teams on their home turf. Tulane has way too many question marks on the defensive side to be able to keep this game close. Kolb and company will win this rather easily. My prediction: 38-17 Houston.

California -8 (-106) 3.18/3

First of all let me set something straight, Cal ISN'T as bad as they played vs Tennessee and Minnesota ISN'T as good as they played vs Kent St. With all that being said, Cal has always had one of the best homefield advantages and Minnesota has struggled on the road. Factor in a long West Coast road trip and a pissed off Cal team, spells doom for Minnesota. Lynch and Forsett will have field days. My prediction: 38-21 Cal.

Best of luck to everyone as always!!!!

hey, mpmeyer

dig your picks, but beware of rutgers-illinois.....illinois will not stop rutgers, but they will score on rutgers...30 last year..and as good as illinois isnt, they do have every starter back and rutgers defense is very porous,,,tough to lay points with a team thats just getting acclamated to winning much less blowing someone out..should have killed n.carolina...i love the over.....zook da crook might steal this one...

I do like this play, but I like the over 46 even better. Central Michigan has a very poor defense. Michigan will probaby put 40+ points on the board and I expect CM to answer with a few TDs of their own. This game finishes in the 50s...

[misteve]

Today, I (1-2, -3 units) will play:

C. MI/MI Over 46.5 (2 units)
N.Ill -15 (2 units)
Tex Tech -7 (3 units)
Rice/Ucla under 56.5 (1 unit)

Adding:

AZ +15.5 (2units)

Great...found N.Ill at -15!!!

Good luck all

Here are the final four to make six for the day. I missed the Miami-Ohio game. That shouldve been a play for me but I guess I was asleep at the wheel:

One note just to vent: I am just livid that I missed the Arkansas State line move. It went from 14.5 to 12 and I just missed it. If this goes back up, I'm on Ark State.
