7 Units - #383 Oklahoma (-8) over TCU *12 Noon EST
OU off a horrific and painful loss against Texas in Red River Shootout and have had a bye week to mull things over and finally fire DC Mike Stoops who was a bad defensive coordinator. Ruffin takes his place, used to be with Texas Tech and the players like him and I think the defense of OU gets fired up here and that is bad news for a struggling TCU team, especially on offense just 16 ppg their last 3 games averaged out and their QB loves to turn the ball over, more picks than TDS so far! Ouch, that cannot hold water against OU's offense and QB Murray here in a foul and focused mood off a tough loss and added time to prep and rest. OU 30-0 SU and 28-2 ATS after a loss their last 30 losses. WOW
4 Units - #397 Memphis (+9.5) vs Missouri *4 EST
Not sold on Missouri's defense stopping Memphis who led Central Florida last week, out gained them rushing by a margin of 281-/165 and blew a 16 point lead against a ranked opponent. Memphis can ut up points against Mizzou who is off a beatdown at Alabama and off a loss the week before to South Carolina where they blew a huge lead. Drew Lock minus some weapons in this one as well at WR and Memphis offense should trade punches here and make this very interesting even on the road. Mizzou steps down in class, but Mizzou vastly overrated on this line here.
4 Units - #406 Utah (-7) over USC *8 PM EST
USC overrated, plain and simple, a public team with no value. I am not sold on them beating Colorado who was undefeated but played no one all year to get to 5-0. USC is not a very good football team and got waxed on the road by 2 quality opponents already including a butt kicking at Texas. The same cannot be said for Utah who is well coached and playing good ball and avenging a last second 1-point loss to USC last year in LA. A loss at Washington is not a bad thing for Utah as many people would lose to the Huskies at home, and if you look at these teams and some common opponents look no further than the Stanford game. Utah went into Stanford recently and beat them by double digits, soundly. USC went to Stanford and scored 3 points and lost by 14. Utah is flat out a better team, at home in the elevation no less and that is worth a full 3 points on the home field advantage in this line. Utah's QB Tyler Huntley the best QB in this game by a mile and USC just 1-10 ATS their last 11 as a dog, make it 12 after this one.
4 Units - #348 Navy +12 vs Houston *3:30 EST
I got crushed with Navy a few weeks ago with Air Force as a disclaimer, but Navy blew a lead last week and lost on some really bad calls by the refs as well. Houston faces hated Rival South Florida next week and I am not sold 100% on Applewhite for Houston being a great coach or game manager and Houston is inconsistent on both sides of the ball and looked horrible against Tulsa until late last week. Navy homecoming and a desperate team who had failed to meet expectations this year, and I think the triple option will give Houston's defense some issues and I expect Navy to play with a high sense of urgency and keep this close
