Top Games

TCU (-2.5) at Utah — This line opened at a pick ‘em and has been bet up to the point where TCU is actually giving 2.5 points on the road. I wish I would have gotten it when it was even, but I still think the Horned Frogs are the best non-BCS conference team and a solid bet to play in a BCS bowl.

Oklahoma St. (+3) at Texas Tech — Aside from the fact that this game has letdown written all over it, Oklahoma State still has a lot to play for. If the Cowboys run the table they have an outside shot at the national championship.

LSU (+3) vs. Alabama — LSU is probably still overrated, but this also has trap game written all over it, especially since it is likely going to be Alabama’s last major test before the SEC Championship Game. I think both Texas Tech and Alabama could lose this week.

Cal (+17) at USC — Don’t know who is going to be lining up at QB for Cal, but this is a lot of points. I can’t really figure USC out and hate betting on them one way or other, but since I have to…

Georgia Tech (+4) at North Carolina — These could be the two best teams in the ACC. Then again, either of them could lose the rest of their games this season. Who knows? I like me some Paul Johnson though and think his gameplanning plus the points makes a solid bet.

Best Bets

Northern Illinois (+10) at Ball State — As I write this, Northern Illinois is getting nuked by 24 points, but I picked this game earlier in the week and I’m not going to change just because it looks like I’m going to lose. I really thought the Huskies would be able to keep it close however. Looks like Ball State has a real shot at going 14-0. They’re that good.

Illinois (-7) vs. Western Michigan (at Detroit) — The geniuses in the Western Michigan athletic department scheduled this “home” game for Ford Field thinking their “fans” would actually want to pay inflated prices to watch the Broncos get stomped by a Big Ten team. Instead, they’ve only pre-sold 10,000 tickets and will have the indignity of having Juice Williams run all over them in front of a lot of empty seats. Oops.

Bowling Green (-3) at Ohio — Bowling Green might be one of the most schizophrenic teams in college football, but I think they might have pulled it together a little bit. Even if they haven’t, Ohio is not that good.

Rice (-10) vs. Army — One of the more underrated teams in college football, Rice should be able to roll the Cadets by double digits.

Marshall (+9.5) at East Carolina — Can’t really figure this line out. Obviously, the oddsmakers still think this is the same ECU team that upset West Virginia and Virginia Tech. Marshall is showing some resurgence and may win the game outright, but the Herd should be able to keep this under the number.
