Season record 4-2 66.67%
Illinois +6?
Angry team; big mismatch at WR for Illini vs small SMiss DBs- look for Ward to make amends for last week's poor showing
Michigan -22?
Sandwich for Wolverines but Carr looking to run it up early in this one; Mich should be able to have its way vs Broncos D missing its best player
Virginia +4? (2 units) and ML +175 (1 unit)
My anti-consensus ESPN2 upset special; Not sold on SC's D; Cavs running game the difference in this one
Over 52 Stanford/BC
BC should get untracked vs Stanford D w/ 9 new starters. The fact that Stanford starts a RS Fr QB shouldn't reduce Cardinal O potency too greatly. He was their #2 (got the nod over a Jr) and has had plenty of time to get ready. Huge matchup problems for small BC secondary vs the Fun'n'Gun. I give the Cardinal a big edge in overall team speed as well. Great day weatherwise on the fake stuff- should be a track meet.
UL-Lafayette +13? (1 unit) and ML +550 (? unit)
Have to take a shot on this one- with Minnesota we have a dome team dealing with a tragedy going to play in a steambath in Louisina (with t-storms forecast all night) vs a team looking for revenge from last years' 30 pt beating looking to make Coach Bustle's home opener special.
