Colorado State +2.5 vs. Colorado...Pass. Two lousy teams. Rivalry game.
Northwestern -10.5 vs. California...I was going to give this a go, but now, with the loss of the 'Cat's WR, I need a lower line. No more than 10.
Houston -12 vs. UT-San Antonio. Do NOT sell UTSA short. They return 19 of 21 starters from last years team that went 7-5 S/U and 8-4 ATS. Houston has a habit of following a good ATS season with a bad one. Last year they were 9-3. 12 is too many points.
UCF -1 vs. Penn State. UCF loses their star QB and 5 of their front 7. Penn State is too good to be a dog.
Mississippi State -31 vs. Southern Miss. No doubt that Miss. State wins this game, but So. Miss returns 14 starters. Miss. State is not known to be a scoring machine to begin with, and has Special team problems. 31 is too many points to give.
Florida State -17.5 vs. Oklahoma State. I can see this, but I will not wager on it. Okie State has a lot of rebuilding to do.
Rice +23.5 at Notre Dame. The Irish will score, but their defense is very suspect. Again, too many points, with Michigan on deck.
Washington -15.5 at Hawaii. Agree. A no brainer here. Hawaii is just terrible.
Boise State +10 vs. Ole Miss. Boise loses a lot on offense. They also lost their HC. I would want more than 10.
Marshall -24 at Miami Ohio. This is another no brainer. Miami is just terrible.
Western Michigan +7 at Purdue. Western Michigan has no offense. You know that you are in trouble when the strength of the entire team is your defensive secondary. Everyone knows that Purdue may not win a Big 10 game, but a game against a terrible MAC team at home? Purdue is the play, if you have to play this game.
