I've been ice-cold lately -- mostly because I haven't been going with my gut (especially early). So here are my initial leans without looking into the plays a whole lot:
Connecticut +6.5 (good old weekday home underdog against an erratic Pitt team)
Iowa -12 (if Robinson plays; line is bizarre -- it's almost like Vegas is telling us the Hawks are the pick)
Purdue +13 (might play the ML as well; Boilermakers have struggled lately, but Michigan does not deserve to be a DD fave on the road vs. anyone)
Wisconsin -21.5 (too much for a crappy IU squad that had their hearts broken vs. Iowa)
Oklahoma -16.5 (Tech flying high after rallying past Mizzou at home; Sooners will play angry and win this one by 20 plus)
Baylor +3 (ML as well -- likely my biggest play of the week, given A&M's huge win over OU last Saturday)
Iowa State -2.5 (they know they need this one to become bowl eligible, and Colorado is demoralized after that choke job at KU)
Cal +20 (Bears are good at home; I think they can score enough with Oregon to stay within about 14)
North Carolina +5.5 (ranks right behind the Baylor play)
UNLV +7 (Saturday night at home, and Wyoming just lost to New fvcking Mexico)
Thoughts would be appreciated. Again, these are very raw, underanalyzed picks.
