tough to say really, although we have seen Sou. Carolina compete and upset at home in the past against strong teams...I just feel the perception on them is extremely low, and a turnover, special teams play, etc...10 points should be enough to get the cover.
Colorado...while i am on their season win total Under 3.5 (yes...already spent the money lol) i think this is a game they can compete in, relative to the spread. this line 1st part of fall camp would have been 19 or so...lots of value on the buffs (with the enlarged number)...
would 31-9 or 31-7 or 34-7 suprise anybody???

UTEP has had good fortune in this matchup recently, but with New mexico at home...and seeing what they bring in the trenches i think UTEP will really struggle here...no reason UNM cannot win this game outright....
with UTEp, who i like, we have seen time and time again now this season with 3 data points, they do not have explosiveness on the outside edges...i will be suprised if they score 21 points in this spot.

how much more improved will the huskers be this week without Scott Frost there to mess things up? for some reason, it was just never a fit...it didnt work. but the fact is the GOY and Look ahead lines on this were -3, and even as recently as last week, -5...I missed +15 and +14 which I should have grabbed, but I am happy to get 12 here, as from a numbers perspective, the perception on NU could not be lower
remember, oklahoma was up 3-0 against kent state last week with 2 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter...there is a clear path to a nebraska cover and competitive game in this case.

I'm also leaning South Carolina. Georgia's azz kicking of the Ducks will blow their point spreads out of proportion for the next few weeks. I'm not sure Kirby Smart has any interest in covering huge spreads. Take last week for example..

Really want WKY to come down but I don't think it will .. yeah that one looks like indy rolls .. just man I can already feel my backdoor getting reamed on that one .. gut says H1 under .. If I'm indy the last thing I want is playing risky ball tons of possessions with them and maybe get into a hole by halftime .. holding that ball long as possible when that feels good open things up .. Cam Camper and DJ are not a bad duo, def taking a few shots at them at some point .. Unless we see WKY suddenly able to run the ball every drive just such a roll of the dice .. def not loaded dice like they had last year .. new kid not hitting the 10 yard passes at a high rate and think this could get ugly quick .. feel better if we knew Bazalek could take off and get the first downs, doesn't do the rush thing maybe once in a while gets 30 yds ..
I get its a gut check for ND .. buckner was their best QB .. Pyne we really don't know Cincy/Wisco tough to judge .. but ton of other hits to starters and depth in fall camp like for sure they have 'the dudes' on the roster but man, talk about a wounded duck, huh duck?!? lol.. Pretty easy to ignore the Bears close one vs UNLV they were rolling early and more ho-hum H2, turnover missed FG and a onside kick killed some drives / took the clock down quick .. and early close vs UC Davis before they got going but man .. Plummer has these guys looking really functional hitting a realllllly good % and couple of those RB's and WR's made a few plays, Ott is a legit playmaker.... Wilcox like dykes has also has them showin up in the big non-cons both homies and roadies .. always at least competitive and they 2 timed quite a few.. 2x Ole Miss, 2x Texas, 2x UNC .. also TCU, BYU .. quite a list lol .. anyway peep Plummer liked what he was doing LW .. think they got a dude ..
Good luck this week bud!

Hey Duck, keep doing your thing. Last year was monster and do not change a thing.....better to start slow and not lose the race/getting faster, than to start fast and slow down and have everyone pass you in the end!
I think this WKY/Indiana game is gonna be interesting...we are opposed but I recognize Indiana is tough at home but how do they do vs gunslinging teams? (my memory over the years tells me they are close games, not wins by a TD)
Proving is hard. Talk is easy.

Can't look at the Colorado one though, it makes me not feel good. I don't think that team can win a game. I haven't capped Minnesota yet this year. But aren't they supposed to be okay?

Like most of your picks.

With regard to your Colorado Pick - It will be more like 45 to 3...Colorado has no running game, they can't pass, and they can't stop the run...Minnesota's Mohamad Ibrahim may be a Heisman Contender by the end of the season...If you recall he had about 150 yards in the first half of the 2021 first game before getting injured and out for the season...Minn still went 9-4 without him...Minn is coached by PJ Fleck...Steele had this game capped at 17, so yes, the move to Minn is insane...That and it may rain around game time...Those are the only 2 things that give me pause...A grossly inflated line, and inclement weather...With perfect weather, I think Minn would have this covered in the first half...I am still evaluating this pick...GL on your other picks...

wku has played austsin peay and hawaii, so i would say these numbers have to be taken somewhat with perspective in mind...I put no stock so far into what WKY has done, other than they struggled mightily against aus peay for 3 quarters...game was still in the balance into the 4th quarter.
i would not back the toppers here.

so are you suggesting that you are laying the -28.5? is minnesota two TDs better than TCU? cause colorado was catching +8 against the frogs in the early line, and it steamed to -13..5,
colorado has to figure it out...NOW. do I believe they will win this game, no. but can they pull some tricks out of the back of the playbook? tweak some things? hang around enough to keep within 31-7? remember, they played TCU to 7-6 at Half...

NDSU would be a middle of the road P12, B12 or MWC team at minimum. they need to be power rated and treated as a Top 50 FBS program. there is no reason they wont be the better team on the field on Saturday night, but I will also say arizona looks improved.
