    Looking at College Football Week 12

    Nebraska +3.5 - I think the Cornhuskers will win this game in Ann Arbor. Two pretty evenly matched teams with similar offensive styles. I give Nebraska the edge because I think their defense will be able to contain Robinson.

    Purdue +3 - Boilermakers have shown steady improvement all year long. I've had my eye on this team and they have won me a lot of money this year with a couple upsets and a lot of covers. I'll take them getting points at home from an average Iowa squad.

    Rutgers +3 - Scarlet Knights are nothing special but this is a good spot for them. They've been a better team when they are at home and Cincy is likely without their starting quarterback.

    North Carolina State +7.5 - Not much to say about this one. Clemson's record is impressive but I think they are an overrated squad. NC State getting over a touchdown at home is the play.


    I've got my eye on some Pac-10 action:

    Oregon State +2.5 - Senior Day for the crappy 2-8 Beavers. Why are they only a 2/2.5 underdog to a 6-4 Washington squad? The thing about OSU is that while they have a terrible record, they've shown a few, only a few, glimpses this year such as a dominating win at Washington State. I'm very confident that they will find a way to come up with a good performance and win this game. The line is very telling.

    Arizona State -11 - Made a thread about this one: http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/college-fo...el-desert.html

    USC +15 - Oregon was so impressive against Stanford last week. Was really amazing to see a team move up and down the field like that against one of the best teams in the country. But I think that game may have taken a lot out of them and it will be tough to come up with another strong performance on back to back weeks. USC has proven this year that they are a legit.

    I don't like Nebraska at all t-wizz. NU struggles with spread offenses; Northwestern picked them apart. I think Robinson has a big game and Michigan wins by at least 7. Nebraska's a popular public dog yet the line's gone from -2 to -3.5.

    I want to take Purdue, but I'm a little worried about a letdown after the dramatic tOSU win and Iowa's penchant for showing up every other game.

    I saw Taylor Martinez step up and play a hell of a game last week at Penn State. He came up with some money plays and I think it was huge for his confidence.

    Let's see what Purdue closes at.

    Purdue, Rutgers, and Oregon State lines have dropped big time.

    Im a huge husker fan and someone who could not stand seeing Taylor Martinez at QB. This year he has changed my mind some. He seems to have much better pocket pressense and understands when he needs to take off or throw the ball away instead of just hanging on to the ball all day and taking a sack. He has gotten much better at protecting the football and not fumbling the ball away. Rex Burkhead should have a great game today, he has been getting some rest in practice and not taking a bunch of hits like he did when he carried the ball 30 times against MSU.

    Defense is going to struggle some against a mobile qb like Retard Robinson but he seems like he has been banged up and hasnt been on point with his receivers as of late.

    Somewhat of a homer pick but I do like Nebraska to win today or at least cover the 3.5, Nebraska has been a better road team under Pelini than they have been at home.

    I like Illinois +14.5 ... Only concern is whether or not they've given up.

    I'm on Nebraska +4 and the Rutgers ML in the early games today. I also like UConn -2 and the Purdue/Iowa U49.5 for smaller plays.

    I was actually toying with the idea of an Illinois ML / Under parlay and decided against it when I saw that Illinois has a horrible track record in home finales. Facepalm.

    I started to make a thread about Illinois ML but then deleted it when i couldn't pull the trigger. They will probably blow it anyway though.

    Looking at a really really good day especially if Arizona State turns things around.
