tin  Yeah, I am going to keep riding KSU until they prove me wrong.

Colts

walt  Yeah, I think they win by 30+

As it relates to Clemson, I would say look at what Boom_Boom thinks of them.  He knows more about Clemson than probably anyone on this website and I believe he is on them this week.  So, based on that, I would imagine they are a good pick.

As it relates to Oklahoma State, I have noticed quite a few people on Missouri this week and I don't really get it.  The Cowboys were flat this past week in Austin and still won by 12.  I personally expect the Cowboys to get back on track this week and win by 10+.  With that said, I still haven't decided if I am going to play them this week or not.

I think Oklahoma State runs the table up until Bedlam.  I likely won't be on this game, so I honestly don't care too much whether or not they cover.  While, I would disagree that this is the best team Oklahoma State has played this season, I hope you hit your Missouri play.

Okay, so far all of my plays have been road teams.  That doesn't necessarily bother me, but just something I noticed.  Look, Duke is a fairly well coached team, but they have not done well against teams with winning records this year.  In looking at this week's game, there is really no reason to believe that the trend will change this week.  Wake is stronger offensively and defensively and as the crowd won't be a factor at Duke, I can't imagine that they will have to worry about any intangibles that could hurt their chances.  I like Wake to win by 7-10 points in this one.

Bandos - You might be right about the Cowboys.  I am staying away.

This might not be a popular play given the fact that A&M games seem to always go over (and they have with the exception of one game this season).  But, dig a bit deeper and it is easy to like this one in my opinion.  Defensively, A&M has struggled against the pass, but has been great against the run.  Part of that reason is that they have gone up against the 2nd, 8th, 6th and 7th ranked passing offenses in the last 4 weeks.  This week, they get a Cyclone team that is not ranked in the top 60 in passing.  I fully expect the Ags to take advantage of this and finally have a decent game defensively.  Further, as I expect a blow-out, look for Sherman to sit on the ball a lot in the second half.  At first, I was thinking over, but now, I am leaning toward a 38-10 type game.

Texas A&M -20 -120 (2 units)
Georgia Tech +3 -120 (2 units)
Kansas State -11 -110 (1 unit)
Wake Forest -3 -115 (1 unit)
TAMU/ISU u67 -120 (2 units)

Sorry, that last play should have been 2 units.

I was at the Tech K-state game I dunno if you watched it but we gave them a game. The 2nd play we threw a pick 6 right to the guy and then threw 2 more horrible, unforced interceptions to them. We also just could not tackle-we were consistently in the right spots but bounced of their players. I am not taking anything away from Kansas State but I am saying they look beatable. A play or two here and there and Tech would have won. Shit we let them block 2 kicks. We played the worst we could possibly play and it was still anyone's game until the 4th quarter. In a rivalry game-and an EARLY rivalry game at that, I like the points for Kansas. We shall see though good luck with the rest of your plays.

I did watch it and I agree, you guys did have a shot to win.  I also agree they aren't built to run up the score.  But, KU is really bad in my opinion.  I just think they will win relatively easily, but I could be wrong.
