MAXIMIZE YOUR EDGE
My leans this week at first glance are:
Stanford +9
Washington +12.5
Ohio State -17
Florida -7.5
Wisconsin +1
BYU -2.5
Seth, I wan’t to take a look at that Stanford game too. That’s a lot of points in what could be a defensive battle.
I still haven’t seen a line or total for BYU – Oregon State. I bet they can’t line that total low enough w/ both starting QBs out. Anything around 45 and I’d be all over it.
Guys
Wisconsin looked good against Illinois but they played the worst team in the big10 at home. They aren’t on track, they struggled until the Illinois defense ran out of gas. They looked good against Nebraska but everyone knows nebraska’s defense Is swiss cheese. I really like purdue in this game. They will shut Down the badgers and run away from them before the 4th quarter. Just my opinion obviously and like the other picks.
Thanks for the insight Wes. If you think Purdue’s defense can shut Wisky down than the under should definitely be considered.
Wes, I’m of the same opinion as you about Wisky/Purdue. I played Michigan last week because they had two weeks to prepare for Purdue, and the superior coaching staff and QB. That’s not the case at all this week. I expect a very close game.
Sorry guys, I could have sworn I saw Wisky at -9 on one of the boards. At PK it’s a much much much different story.
Definitely like the Alabama, Ole Miss, and Florida picks and the Stanford-ND under here.
My other early picks:
K-State -7 vs. Iowa state
West Virginia -5 vs. Texas Tech
Baylor -8 vs. TCU
Looking to the thursday games I like WKU -3 over Troy.
i’m going u51 on NW/Minny
good luck
I like it. Did you check Wisconsin – Purdue U 51? Less offensive firepower than NW/Minny and +/- equal D’s.
when i made the play nw/min was 51 and wisc/pur was 50.5 so i wanted to play with the key number…also montee ball and aberderras are the best offensive players between the 4 teams so that helped sway me between the two games…but it’s definitely worth a look
also took a piece of fsu -27.5
good luck
T,
I like LSU, Rutgers (Again) and really like USC. If you take away the first two plays of that UTAH game they outscored them by over 30 points. Washington has beaten them the last two times in Seattle and USC has been pointing towards this game and will come prepared. Lane Kiffin is a lousy coach however and I hope he just lets his team play. The public is on Washington and I like that very much. IAlabama is 2-3 ATL with both covers coming on the road. I think the team has grown tired of hearing about South Carolina and Florida and will drop 50 on Missouri this week.
Winston
My Opinion,
UCLA -8
Oregon State +6 (BYU won’t score more than 14)
OL Miss -4
OKlahoma -3 (buy the hook)
Rutgers -7 (best bet)
Good Luck in week 7!
Winston, I’m going the other way w/ OU-Texas. I see Sabert is on Ole Miss again, but now they are the favorite, so they seem to be losing their value. They should have won last week, so at least they should still be hungry looking for their first SEC win.
Does anyone like Iowa at +10 at Michigan State?
I have it on my list and will take a closer look at it later today. Iowa is a potential running dog in this game and I always like getting DD against teams that struggle to score. As the total (40.5) suggests, it could be a defensive battle. Always good to have points in that situation.
Yeah that was my original thinking. I am reluctant because Iowa has scoring issues as well, and Michigan State is coming off of a bad game at Indiana.
Oregon State/BYU
Like Oregon State in this spot +6 a ton. They have flown under the radar and BYU can’t score. The only thing that could lose this game is QB Riley (26 yrs old and three kids)having a big game but I believe he is still injured based on everything I have read out of BYU. Oregon State has a great defense and is overshadowed by big brother in Eugene and gets no ink. The under is probably a good bet in this game also. I have seen this to many times over the years, key player gets hurt and other players step up. This works with good teams and a good coach which OSU has (Riley). Think they will win straight up.
