Auburn pk -108, 5 units
Tennessee is coming off two real tough games winning at the Swamp and just getting by S. Carolina in OT last weekend so I think they may be a little banged up. Auburn has about as good of a defense as anybody and I think they will be able to slow down the Vols' running game and will be all over Clausen. Auburn has plenty of talent at RB with Williams, Brown, Jacobs, and Smith and Auburn used the last couple of games to tune up their passing game as Campbell went 24 of 32 in the 2 games. Campbell usually takes pretty good care of the ball and his mobility should help against the Tennessee defense. I don't think Tennessee will score much against this defense so like Auburn to get the win at home.
California pk -108, 3 units
Don't really see why OSU is favored here as they haven't really beaten a quality team and they lost their only road game at Fresno who was struggling early on. Their QB Anderson is under 50% again this year and he turns the ball over too much with 10 INTs in 5 games. I really like the playcalling of this Cal offense and they should have a big advantage in the return game so I think they will put up some points. A little worried about a letdown after beating USC but like them to get the win at home.
Kansas St. +6.5, 3 units
I'm not real impressed with Texas' ability to beat up on teams like Tulane, Rice, and New Mexico St. The only team they faced that can run the ball was Arkansas who put up 38 points and ran for close to 300 yards. Kansas St. is coming off a bye so they had some time to get well and prepare for this game. Sproles is one of the top RBs in the nation and they should have Roberson back at QB. I'm still not sold on Mock at QB for Texas and they don't seem to be able to run the ball against good teams. KSU is always solid on special teams as well so I think this will be a close game they could win outright.
Fresno St. +4.5 -108, 3 units
CSU has really struggled on defense and they don't have the running game they have had in the past. Fresno is better defensively and I really like FSU's special teams as Berrian is always dangerous. Bulldogs also have some good targets at WR with a lot of size and speed. Think they win this game so will take the points.
Iowa +4 -103, 3 units
Iowa is a tough place to play and I'm not sure Michigan should be laying points on the road. I'm not impressed with any of the teams they beat this year and think this will be a tough game for them. Iowa has a great defense and I think they will shut down Perry and I have never liked Navarre as he tend to make some big mistakes at times. I think Russell will have a big game and Chandler has been doing a good job taking care of the ball so like Iowa getting points at home.
Texas Tech -5 -108, 2 units
Tech's offense looks unstoppable with Symons avg. almost 500 pass ypg. Aggies' defense is not very good this year and gets no pressure on the passer with just 4 sacks and 3 INTs all season. Think Symons will pick this defense apart and don't think McNeal throws well enough to keep them in the game.
Ohio +21 -108, 2 units
Just think this is a good spot to go against NIU coming off 3 wins against some bigger schools in Iowa St., Alabama, and Maryland. Ohio can put up some points and has a pretty good QB so I think they can keep it under the number.
