Megalocks line -28
Leaning to NIU here. The implication in this line is that Ohio St will get 50+ and I suppose that is possible - NIU D has not been looking so hot early on including giving up 30 to UNLV but QB Hare has been outstanding 78% and 6 td no picks - he is on a 24-2 td to int run....They are a decent football team - and here is another example of one of our fav plays - projected bowl team getting 5 TDs against anyone....We will wait and reconsider if it hits 35+....Not as strong as our MTSU play from last wk given that - Ohio St is more explosive on offense and NIU D is worse than MTSU IMO....Also Ohio St is our #1 rated team and rarely play against that - saved our bacon vs VTech even though the crowd could not magically help VT cover.....finally Ohio St does not get enough credit on defense has given up 0 24 20 0 last 4 games vs 3 good teams one being Oregon...and the only gimme was Hawaii and their QB is decent and was made to look silly.
Summary - lean NIU but for reasons above just barely misses the official play list. May revisit if 35s pop up.

....Penn an impressive 122nd in offense and Rutgers is still giving up TDs thru the air as we speak to Wash St....And what would a Rutgers game be without a comical Kyle Flood injury report - yes - Carroo legitimately out - but his process is basically a) put entire team on injury list and then b) add 5 more guys.....Hard to get a read on this one will watch for COVERS legend SCAL and his Rutgers 
take.
with only a couple more wins against Big 10 dung factories to make a bowl game....Offense looks sharp and D did enough last wk esp vs the run - pass D still shaky and that is BAD news facing WK....We will note that WK banged up at RB position missing 2 guys including star Allen out the yr - will miss his running and also had 50+ rec last yr....WK a bit less spicy on the road - QB is basically Tom brady but better at home - on the road - stats wise WK just down a notch - bigger worry is their D horrid.

...Purdue just might be a sneaky ATS team this year especially if they can be balanced on offense and move the chains and keep the D off the field....as a home dog they are on a 11-16 L27 ATS run not thrilled about that....Not sure this is the spot for the underdog....We are still very high on the VT D - of course they struggled vs Ohio St but that was to be expected in our opinion - had a tune up game last wk - and the new QB Motley looked pretty good - We see some line value for the Hokies if for no other reason than the QB "injury" might be a positive you guys know how these things work in NCAA who knows?? New guy could give the team some offensive spark....And we saw Brewer throw 15 INT last yr so maybe that is enough for a while?....VT the much better D and laying less than a TD even on the road seems reasonable.
