Since I am leaving early in the morning tomorrow to go to the Cowboys game I will go ahead and post this now.
Ohio - 6.5 over Ball State There is no question Ohio University is a dramatically better team than Ball State which got its first win of the season last week at winless Eastern Michigan, 29-27. Ohio comes into this game in a bounce-back mode, having been upset at home last week by Kent State. The Bobcats have performed well on the road this season, winning at North Texas, Bowling Green and Akron while playing extremely well at Tennessee, before losing 34-23. There is no edge Ohio does not have, with the exception of the home field.
Ohio State -44 over New Mexico State I normally wouldn't lay such a big number but New Mexico State just sucks. I don't believe New Mexico State will even score but even if the score a touchdown I believe Ohio State will score at least 56 don't expect much of a contest here.
Georgia Tech -11 over Vandy Georgia Tech played their worst game this year against Miami but the last 4 weeks have beat Mississippi State, Florida State, Virginia Tech and Virginia while Vandy the last 4 weeks has lost to Ole Miss, Army, Georgia and South Carolina. Vandy has a good defense but I believe Georgia Tech's option will be to much.
Boise State -35 over San Jose State San Jose State has everything working against it in this game . First of all, Boise has one of the most explosive offenses in the country, averaging 40.3 points and is facing a San Jose State team that has struggled offensively all season. Thus, for openers there is no way the Aztecs are going to be able to keep up in this game, especially against what may well be the quickest defense in the country. Now factor into the equation the BCS issue, where Boise is battling TCU for a spot in one of the $12 million bowl games, if not the title game itself. This means Boise, which crushed Hawaii, 54-9, last week will put as many points on the board as it can.
San Deigo State - 16 over New Mexico New Mexico is simply one absolutely terrible football team and the Lobos are not going to get any better under new head Coach Mike Locksley who does not have a clue about how to prepare a team to play. Meantime, San Diego State has found itself and comes into this off a 42-28 win at Colorado State and seems primed to play its best game of the season. It is of note New Mexico has given up an average of 39.67 points in its last three losses and for the season has averaged but 14.5 points on offense.
Arkansas State + 3 over Louisville Arkansas State is much better than its record and seems primed to play a good game and get the money in a minor upset at Louisville . The Red Wolves have almost every edge in this game, but the home field, and will come to play. Arkansas State’s three losses this season have come at Nebraska, 38-9, against Sun Belt power Troy, 30-27, and at undefeated Iowa, 24-21. As for Louisville, third-year coach Steve Kragthorpe, who had so much success at Tulsa, has led this once-proud program right off the cliff. Louisville comes into this off an embarrassing, 41-10, loss at Cincinnati and this season has beaten only 1-AA Indiana State, and crippled Southern Miss team.
TCU-35 over UNLV Tcu falls into the same category as Boise State if both of these teams go undefeated the rest of the year only one will play in a BCS game so TCU has to do something to impress so I believe they will run up the score against a team that really hasn't beaten anybody this year.
