Play: Boise State (-28.5 -110)

With the BCS system the way that it is, Boise has no choice but to try and run up the score on teams whenever they can so that they can try and climb higher in the standings. This is a terrible message that the BCS is sending, but evidently they don't care.
Boise State has won their last two games (both road games) by 50 points each and I don't see that changing much at home against a below average Air Force team.
Matchup: Penn State at Northwestern
Time: 7:00 PM EDT (Sat)
Play: Northwestern (+4.5 -110)

Penn State has had the benefit of one of the easiest schedules in the NCAA and that will not serve them well here. Northwestern, on the other hand, has already played four road games against better competition.
While Northwestern obviously has their problems on defense they should be able to keep it close as Penn State could be looking ahead to Illinois.

The Tigers are playing well right now and a win over Oklahoma State is a possiblility, but I like the spread better, getting more than a touchdown at home. Missouri had had a very difficult schedule, losing in OT at Arizona State, losing by 10 at Oklahoma, and losing a close game at K-State last week.
The Cowboys are a handful there is no doubt about it, but coming off the win over Texas and possibly basking in the limelight of being ranked fourth in the just released BCS standings, they could be vulnerable.
Matchup: Wisconsin at Michigan St
Time: 8:00 PM EDT (Sat)
Play: Wisconsin (-7 -110)

I respect Michigan State but I must side with the Badgers in this spot. While the Spartans would love nothing more that to whip Wisconsin at home after losing at home to them last year 34-24, the fact is that they are just not as good as the Badgers.
This could be the best Wisconsin team that has ever come out of Madison and they are playing like their coach has a chip on his shoulder. With the Spartans having beaten Ohio State and Michigan in consecutive games, I just don't think they have the amunition to do it three games in a row.

Matchup: Louisiana Tech at Utah State
Time: 3:00 PM EDT (Sat)
Play: Utah State (-6 -110)

This is one of those games that Utah State has circled on their schedule after losing last year to the Bulldogs 24-9. I like laying less than a touchdown at home, espescially with Utah State not playing particularly well last week at Fresno State.
The Aggies are really tough at home and watching them earlier in the year at Auburn I was very impressed with their offensive capabilities. Them should be able to score enough to get the cover here and even their conference record.
