#361 Boise/Air Force Over 63 (1 Unit) - Air Force has gone over the total in all 6 of their games this season. Boise has gone over in back to back games as well. Air Force doesn't play defense so Boise should have no problem posting their above 40 point average. We only need Air Force to score a couple Td's to beat this number.

5* Texas A&M
Will back TEXAS A&M here. Nearly made this a Top 10*. Only thing holding me back is that A&M has Missouri on deck in a big revenge spot home game. That being said, how good is this Aggies bunch. I had them as a dark horse BCS team. They have 2 losses, 2 & 4pts to Oklahoma State and Arkansas. A pair of Top 10 teams. And that was blowing a pair of 18 point leads! Do we really think Iowa State, off a 52-17 loss (we had MizzU huge) can slow this team down? Cyclones giving up nearly 40per, while A&M scoring more than 40. They can write their own final here. I am calling for a 48-20 type game. 5* TEXAS A&M AGGIES
10* Miami Hurricanes
Taking the HURRICANES here. I love games like this. We have a 6-1 getting points from the 3-3 team. G-Tech looks like the easy money here. As Lee Corso says, 'not so fast my friends.' GT has a much more 'glamorious' record wise and ACC-wise next week with Atlantic Divison Clemson, as they lead the Coastal. The U, limping at 3-3. I am a fan of HC Golden. The guy is a great coach. I am pretty sure he had scenerios like this at Temple. A ranked team coming to play on his field and looking past them at a perceived better opponent in the next game. Listen, this is still Miami. It isn't like they get crap players here. For as much as Jacory Harris gets flack for his INTs, he is at 12TDs and 3INTs on the year. Canes won the last 2 in this series 35-10 last year on the road and 33-17 at home in 2009. Miami has the speed to negate the Tech rush game. 10* ACC GOM MIAMI HURRICANES
5* Michigan State
Will take MICHIGAN STATE here. Will fall for this inflated number. Where is the love for Michigan State? Is this simply a flat spot since they beat Michigan? They beat UM the last 4 times now. Didn't Sparty beat Wiscy last year? Again, can the Spartans get a little respect here. This is by far the best defense the Badgers will have faced this year (Top 4 in all 5 defensive catagories). Pretty sure MSU knows what Wiscy wants to do, at 257 ypr a game, Badgers are maulers. MSU and their 67rypg defense will have a stiff test ahead. QBs Wilson and Cousins are seniors. I doubt they will be doing anything dumb here. In last years 34-24 win here, MSU turned the ball over 3 times and still got a 10 point win! This is still a Big 10 team right? It isn't like they don't have atheletes that can't compete here. Wisconsin hasn't even had an away game yet. And they are laying this? Come on. Nearly played this +240 ML 5* MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS
20 UNIT* Southern Miss Eagles -3 -110 (Risk 22 units to win 20 units) 8:00 P.M.
There will certainly be some points scored in this one, but the edge goes to Southern Miss because they are much better at taking care of the ball, as SMU is sloppy and their defense doesn’t create takeaways. Southern Miss runs the ball much better than SMU, and SMU hasn’t stopped the run against good teams this season. This is the biggest game of the season for Southern Miss, as they come off a bye week after 4 straight wins. They put 63 on the board in their last game, a 63-35 win over Navy, while SMU played well in a 38-17 win over UCF (a team that has fallen off the map after a 26-24 loss to UAB Thursday). Southern Miss averages 38.7 points per game, good for 18th nationally, but they only give up 22 per game, which is 36th nationally. This Golden Eagles team is good because of their balanced offense, as they gain 262 through the air and 212 on the ground—both very impressive numbers that are top 30 and top 20 nationally. SMU has had their struggles on the road under June Jones, although this is obviously his best team yet since being there, as he has steadily built another program that was dead upon his arrival. Hattiesburg will all be in attendance for this nationally televised game on CBS College. I think Southern Miss wins because of their ability to run the ball, and coupled with SMU’s one-dimensional run and shoot offense, Southern Miss takes this huge C-USA matchup. Win 20 units and lay the points.
10 UNIT* Northwestern Wildcats +4.5 -110 (Risk 11 units to win 10 units) 7:00 P.M.
Penn State is as hot as anyone, but looking deeper it is their defense that has saved them time and time again. While Northwestern has had their struggles lately with 4 straight losses, I expect a huge performance Saturday night in front of a big crowd at Ryan Field. Northwestern has lost some tough, close games, but the key is they have been in every game with the exception of two weeks ago where there 24-14 lead over Michigan turned into a 42-24 loss. Northwestern averages 181 yards per game on the ground—something Penn State hasn’t faced all year. This Nittany Lions defense is strong, but Northwestern puts points on the board at home, and Penn State’s anemic offense will have a tough time keeping up. Penn State still hasn’t figured out their quarterback situation, and putting up 23 points against Purdue at home is a 23-18 squeaker didn’t solve any problems. This team was lucky to slip by with a 16-10 win at Indiana, as well as in a 13-3 home win vs Iowa. Penn State only averages 21.7 points per game, only 17.3 in Big 10 play, and if they do that tonight—they will have their first Big 10 loss. Take the home dog with Northwestern, a team always good for a big home upset, with the points for 10 units.
