Saturday recommends
Michigan State at Purdue
Why in the world is Michigan State favored on the road against Purdue? These teams are pretty much even. The Boilermakers even knocked off Ohio State a few weeks ago.
With the public all over the Spartans, I'll take the home dog.
Purdue +3----Push
Indiana at Penn State
This is one of the most ridiculous lines I've ever seen. The most points Penn State has scored against a 1-A opponent this year is 35, so in theory, Indiana needs only 10 points in this contest to cover.
The Hoosiers are a feisty squad and I have to believe that they'll hang around. The Nittany Lions just lost a big game to Ohio State and could be flat in an early home game.
Indiana +25.5----Win
Stanford at USC
Simple math. USC lost to Oregon. Oregon lost to Stanford. Stanford beats the Trojans, ending all the hype and mystique over the freshman "sensation," Matt Barkley, who threw for a whole 112 yards, hitting 7 of his 22 passes against Arizona State last week. USC won the game, 14-9, but it was all the defense's doing, especially, Will Harris' 55-yard interception return for a score in the 2nd quarter.
The real sensation is Stanford redshirt freshman quarterback Andrew Luck, who has thrown for 11 TD passes and just three interceptions. Last week against the Ducks - whom Stanford outlasted, 51-42, Luck threw for 2 TDs (12-20, 251 yards) and Toby Gerhart ran for a school-record 223 yards and three scores. The Cardinal is certainly better than an 11-point underdog to the Trojans. In fact, in a sane world, they'd be the favorites by 3.
Stanford+10.5----Win
Auburn at Georgia
Two really good football teams match up here for bragging rights only. Both teams will be going to bowl games, just not BCS ones. Both are 3-3 in the conference, but 5-4 Georgia needs a win to become bowl eligible. With Georgia Tech on Nov. 28, the likely 6th win will come at the expense of Kentucky, who comes to Georgia next week.
Auburn has been a pleasant surprise, with one of the best offensive teams in the country, at 450 yards and 35 points per game. The Bulldogs have had trouble against solid offenses, allowing 41 points by both Florida and Arkansas, and giving up 45 to Tennessee. It could get ugly between the hedges.
Auburn+4.5
Arizona at California
The Wildcats controls their own Rose Bowl destiny,& I believe also they take this game on Cals home turf,even if Cal holds the better trends between these 2 teams heads up.Just a hunch!!
Arizona+3
