N.C. State + 15 1/2 @ North Carolina. A big rivalry game between two teams that have 1 loss each. N.C. State's only loss came at Va Tech. UNC was embarrassed by a rather poor Florida State team. You can make arguments for both teams, but giving 15 1/2 points is just ridiculous IMO.
Penn State -6 1/2 @ Indiana. Does this seems like a very low line to you guys? I know it is game 1 for both teams but I would think that the team that is considered by many to be the #2 team in the Big 10 would give a few more points to also-ran. Maybe the reason is Penn State's "Look ahead" situation. They host Ohio State next week at home.
Michigan -3 @ Minnesota. I have no idea why Harbaugh is still the HC at Michigan, but if Michigan cannot defeat a good Big 10 West team by more than 3 points, maybe it is time to finally get rid of him.
