Miami of Ohio -10.5 @ Akron, I know the Zips are bad saw them play CMU, but I think this is too many points to give the Zips at theRubber Bowl. Zips have played a pretty brutal schedule and I think the line may be off due to their showing out of conference.

Air Force +10 @ Utah, Force seems to be playing well and this seems liek too many points, but will McBride have the Utes sky high after two back to back tough losses?

early leans:

Pitt -4
Wake-1.5
Minny +4.5
UNC-1
Temple+5
Ball State+5,
Army+28.5

honolulu, Hi, USA
I think AF is the way to go. Utes off a physical game with Michigan and probably has a hangover. AF has been playing their typical brand of wishbone offense which I might add has always been precisionlike. Fisher Deberry has been quoted as saying that his "triggerman", Chance Harridge is the best QB he has ever had in his 19yrs at Air Force. That tells you something. Remember Dee Dowis?

GM:cool:

I would be careful of the Pitt game and the Air Force game. I think Superber is right about the Air Force game and Pitt very easily could lose outright. I like the UNC play expecially with Tech's injury situation at running back.

Yo! MC...here is my 2 cents..
Pitt...i show giving up to 6pts..not my favorite
Wake Forest..I show Virginia by 4 pts..i'm on Virginia
Minny...well you see my play of the week
UNC..no opinion can go either way to close to call ..need a local to adivse on this game
Temple ..i show cincy winning..however steam is pusing this game ...my opinion cincy ready for the letdown and maybe steam is thingking the same ..i'll layoff this game
Ball State ..comes up as winning by 3'.....but this Conn team bothers me ..their playing strong and at home ...i'm laying off this game..not enougn value for ...your the man on the MAC..you advise ME!
Army...28 pts is alot to cover by a below average team as Soth Mis..watch them play and not impressed ...I'll pass..
Air Force...I believe this is a GREAT VALUE at +9...would feel real comfortable at 10..waiting on 10+...i'll probably play this ...

I show Buffalo as a strong play...need some help here i've been burned on this team last year and once this year...very cautious...what's your opinio

the floowing are plays i really like
Duke to win S/U
Nebraska to win S/U
Kent St to at least cover
West Mich..another great value play ..don't see an upset but a hard fought game for the cover
East Carolina to cover
Ga Tech another value play
Texas Tech -11
Memphis -7...hell this is a gimme...UAB falling apart...i heard the school program may cease in the next 1 or 2 years...can't make money on football..that's the rumor and probably true ..not getting the talent to support a wining teamm..and i've seen them play twice this year and needless to say they aboultely SUCK and getting worse,,,1st game Troy State overcame a 20 point deficit
to win...
What's your thinking .....good luck

Although I have not researched every game that you have posted, here are my thoughts:

Buffalo @ Ohio U

I listened to the Ohio-Uconn game and Ohio really did not play that bad of a game. Bobcats had the Huskies for much of the game and really self destructed in the 2nd half. Once the Cats get behind they really lack a passing game to come back, but they may not need this vs Buffalo. I have yet to see Buffalo play and I really can't give u that much info on the team. I would lean the Cat's way in Peden Stadium.

Duke @ Navy

What a rotten game, Navy is miserable in the favorites role, but can you trust Duke? Duke has definitly played the better schedule and you would think they would be able to hang with the Midshipmen but in a game of two bad teams turnovers will more than likely determine the outcome. Currently I am passing this game.

Nebraska @ Iowa State
Huskers have owned the Cyclones for years, but this Nebraska team has serious problems on both sides of the ball. I recall a few years ago the Huskers had a team that was below there standards and alot of folks were calling for the Cyclones to win outright (including Herbstreit) and Nebraska covered by 14. I think that was Crouch's frosh or soph year. Tough game to call, Huskers have the better athletes but seem to have alot of turmoil on the defensive side. If Iowa State gets up early this game could get ugly. Slight lean Iowa State, more than likely a pass for me.

Kent State @ Northern ILL
Should be a good offensive game that will be a close game. Kent has a pathetic defense, but Cribbs is a hard qb for a defense to get ready for., his speed cannot be duplicated in practice. I have not played this game yet, but Kent +7 or better looks good.

East Carolina @ WVU

ECU is still adjusting to their new QB, Garrard was there forever and there offense so far has not been up to par. WVU has a solid offense but their defense was like a sieve vs Cinci. Tough game to call I will have to look at it more closely.

TTech @ New Mexico

Hopefully the Raiders will not have a let down off their emotional loss to NC State. New Mexico has some issues in their backfield with alot of injuries.

Memphis @ UAB
I have not seen UAB this year, they gave Pitt a decent game then got punked by one of the Louisiana U schools. UAB is usually decent at home, but I would have to say Memphis or pass for this game.

Senor Capper:

You like A@M even with their terrible offense? Can they score enough? I like Air FOrce too, nice stat.

Joe De:

I watched Titans and BRowns game and Titans have some serious issues on the offensive side of the ball, I wonder if their is something wrong with McNair's arm, he rarely went down field on the Browns.

Yup

Yup

"Wrecking Crew" did its part against the Hokies but the "O" forgot to show....... dontchaknow.

That marked A/Ms 1st non-conf home loss in 14 years !!!!!!

Lou Techs only RG (Penn St) were on the wrong end of a 298-41 RY margin.

Break out game for the 10 returning starters of A/M.

Bounce Back City Baby



Misc Trends

Aggies are 13-5 at home & 5-1 as host in non-conf play BUT on a 3-7 run :(

Tech is 5-2 in non-league play & on a 14-7 run ouch hmh
