After opening the season with a 4-0 week, I came back and went 2-2 in week #2, then swept the board again last week to bring the record for the season to 10-2. Just pointing out that these college totals can be beat. It simply takes a different mindset than choosing one of the sides.
NAVY/WESTERN KENTUCKY - OVER 49-
The Hilltoppers are clearly one of the two or three worst teams in Division I football. Last week they were posted as a 2-point underdog at home against Central Arkansas (I-AA) and they got thumped 28-7. Their defense is giving up over 550 ypg, and the weakness of this pathetic unit are the run stoppers. That's bad news when they have to face Navy, who's vaunted triple option rush attack is hitting on all cylinders. The Middies will run roughshod over this defense, probably totaling close to 400 yards on the ground. Western will have no choice but to air it out, trying to take advantage of Navy's weak pass defense. This one goes well over 50.
TENNESSEE/OHIO - OVER 44-
Gotta believe that HC Kiffin was a little annoyed when Florida mentor Meyer referred to his offense as 'conservative'. Ohio is quite a step down defensively from the Gators. Just as he did a few weeks back when he poured it on against a weak Western Kentucky D (63 points), Kiffin will look to please his fanbase by rolling up the points today. The Vols will probably go over the total themselves.
KENTUCKY/FLORIDA - OVER 53-
For a team who stands 3-0, the Gators sure do have a lot of people questioning their talent, particularly their WRs. They never intended to show much of their hand against Charleston Southern and Troy, then they had to face a pretty stout Tennessee D. This week they "take off the governor" against the Wildcats, whom they've beaten 22 times in a row. Tebow and company will flex their offensive muscle today and this one easily goes north of the total.
OHIO STATE/ILLINOIS - UNDER 49-
They're calling for rain at the Horseshoe on Saturday and Illini stud RB Juice Williams is a bit dinged up (though will play.) Ohio State QB Pryor clearly is no gunslinger so look for the Buckeyes to grind it out on the ground and rely on their staunch D to pull out another convincing, yet low-scoring victory. Say, 28-10.
As always, best of luck.
