Another reason to hate ESPN... For the first time ever, the Maui Invitational didn't include the host school of Chaminade, because it was decided that having three telecasts with someone playing Chaminade would hurt ratings. Maybe the Army-Navy football game should be Alabama vs Notre Dame this year, ya know, to help ratings.
67-49-3 YTD
Today's Picks:
NORTH TEXAS +9 (@ Oklahoma)
NT is 8-0 are we'll find out if they're for real. I think they are, and may pull off the outright upset.
NC STATE +8 (@ Wisconsin)
(see previous comment about NT)
N. KENTUCKY +4.5 (@ Morehead St.)
Morehead St. is in the bottom tier of D-1 teams. NKU is a contender for the Horizon.
SOUTH DAKOTA +12 (@ Baylor)
Baylor has been anything but impressive so far, SD is nothing special, but I don't trust Baylor as a DD favorite against anyone.
MICHIGAN ST. -5 (@ Louisville)
MSU is kicking ass after losing to Kansas opening night.
FOUR Road Dogs, One Road Favorite. Yikes. We'll see how it goes...
