Texas Tech (-28) vs Kansas

Tech is coming off of a bye and get a bad Kansas team at home. Tech in need of wins knowing a tough 5 games stretch of WVU, OU, TCU, TEX, OKST await them starting October 15th-November 12th. 

Florida Atlantic (-5) at Florida International

FIU has still yet to score more than 14 points in a game and FAU just played well against a good Ball State team. Running another fade of FIU this week. 

Got a few more I like but have a few questions I'll find the answers to before locking those in.

I can certainly do that. Will do that once I hit 5 plays and then update that periodically.

Ball State (-3.5) vs Northern Illinois

NIU is free falling right now after losing to Western Illinois this week, now they are on the road against a good Ball State team. Running the fade NIU this week. 

Eastern Michigan (+3) at Bowling Green

Wrong team is favored here as Bowling Green has looked really bad so far this season.

Colorado State (-6.5) vs Wyoming

I liked what I saw out of CSU this past week against Minnesota and Wyoming's two wins have come against two bad teams in NIU and UC Davis. 

Tulane (-2) at UMass

I think UMass has a down game after they played well over their potential in a big game hosting MSU this past Saturday. Tulane has looked much improved from last season and I see them taking care of business here against UMass.

Louisiana Lafayette (-4.5) at New Mexico State

NMSU is bad, their one win was in their rivalry game against New Mexico who's only win so far came week one against South Dakota. ULL QB Anthony Jennings is completing just over 60% of his passes and the run game is averaging 3.9 yards per carry. Give me the Ragin' Cajun's and I'll give away the points.

Texas Tech vs Kansas (Under 80)

Last time these two school combined for 80 points, Todd Reesing was Kansas' QB and the Jawhawks won their last bowl game...

Texas Tech ranked 124th in Def. allowing 531yrd per game, & 3rd downs conversions  @ 43%.  Hawaii is 127th, for perspective. I'm thinking even Kansas can score a few pts on that D. 
Just my 2 cents.

By no means do I think Tech pitches a shutout but I do think Tech scores 50+ and I just can't see Kansas being able to play keep up.

whats your take on Baylor? ISU gets pummeled by Iowa (44-3)....really... Iowa? The same Iowa who was beat by NDSU and  who struggled to get past a Rutgers team who is pure filth on a supposed rebound game cause they got beat by a fcs team.  Baylor lets off the gas now a days with briles gone but even letting off the gas they win this one by 3 td's right? talk me out of it...

I think the real worry here comes from Baylor not shutting the door on teams so far this season. Even last week Oklahoma State shut it on themselves. It's a 11am kick in the middle of no where for these Texas boys who are coming off a tough fought win. Iowa will be pumped for this game hosting a 4-0 team. With all that said I'm still a Baylor lean because the talent difference is undeniable but I'm just not sure if it will be an official play.

Troy (-13.5) at Idaho

Troy has a top 25 scoring offense and Idaho is a bottom 25 scoring offense and bottom 30 total defense. Think this game should be closer to a Troy -20.

Temple (-12.5) vs SMU

Temple 4-2 (21 point MOV) ATS since 2015 as a Home Favs. Temple 6-3 (11 point MOV) ATS against Conference opponents since 2015. Also SMU isn't very good especially on the road 5-19 SU since 2012 with a 20 point MOD.

Oregon State (+18.5) at Colorado

Colorado has had back to back get up games against Michigan and Oregon and have a road trip to USC next wee? They have a 1-2 Oregon State team slipped into that schedule. I don't think they drop the ball completely but 18.5 points? 4 scores? Give me the 18.5 with the team who has competed well against Boise State and Minnesota so far this season.

working on a few more games for y'all.
