Screw it. I'll take Mac's Ball State (-19) over Miami, OH. They're still trying to impress the voters to sneak into a BCS bowl game.

Miami OH +19 against Ball State

home dog, ranked road favorite, nationally televised game, weekday night...the recipe for success. If you have real guts, put a small wager on the Redhawk money line for an outright win.

ND -3.5 at Navy

ND has not had a problem with defense. It has been there offense. Now Weis takes control just as they take on one of the worst Ds in the country. There is not a chance Navy keeps up with them this year.

Bear at Packers OVER 43.5
Bucs -5 against Vikings

Browns +5.5 at Bills

The Browns seem to have found their rhythm offensively. No one doubts that the tools are there for a superior offensive team and Quinn had an immediate impact. The Bills, on the other hand, have been regressing on both sides of the ball. I like the Browns to win straight up.

Thursday Night from Pinnacle Sports

Miami -4.5 vs Virginia Tech- I think when Miami beat Virginia last game, they had a history changing drive, and need the win to keep ACC Championship Game hopes alive.

Week 12 Thursday Night Thunder

Buffalo @ Akron -3

After finally breaking the win on the road lose at home the next week cycle, expect Zips RB Kennedy(Kennedy) to have a monster game at home. Bulls QB Willy may reach 7500 yards career passing. Still not enough.

Virginia Tech +4 @ Miami (FL)

Hokies run game will slow down Canes from scoring near their average of 30 points a game. Canes QB doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

Wyoming at UNLV -6 1/2

Cowboys upset the tired Vols last week. Don't expect the 11.8 points per game, 120th scoring in the nation offense to start a winning streak anytime soon. UNLV won't give up 40 this week.

Jets @ Patriots -3

Don't look for the home team to give up a 10 point fourth quarter lead this week. St. Farve of Jersey doesn't put up enough of a fight against the Pats front four.

Oddsmaker

NYJets +3.5
over NE

Road team rules this series. Cant see a blowout so will take pts.

Post subject:  Re: Pick Winners CFB, NFL Week 11

Purdue +18 vs. Iowa
-No way that Purdue wins, but I'll be shocked if Purdue loses by 3 scores. Iowa is clearly better, but Purdue will put up a fight and Iowa will feel a letdown.

Notre Dame -4 vs. Navy
-Navy has been a doormat for Notre Dame for years. Notre Dame gets it together and "saves" Charlie's job

UCLA -7 vs. Washington
-A winless team staying within a touchdown seems to be a great value to me

Ohio State -9.5 vs. Illinois
-OSU knows what it's playing for. A BCS bowl is still within reach. Last year's result is no forgotten.

Michigan -3.5 vs. Northwestern
-Michigan's athletes are too much for Northwestern.

Minnesota +13.5 vs. Wisconsin
-I like Minnesota to keep the game close so I'll go with the gophers.

Arizona St. -36.5 vs Washington St. ASU D too much!
ND-4 vs the Midshipman Navy,s pass D is worts than the Bears!

Post subject:  Re: Pick Winners CFB, NFL Week 11

From thegreek.com:

Texas (-13) over Kansas
This isn't basketball. Hook'em horns.

UCLA (-6.5) over Washington
Although the Huskies are at home, UCLA proves to be better than by a touchdown.

Ohio State (-9.5) over Illinois
As much as it pains me to say this, but based on recent play, the Illini will need a miracle to hang with the Buckeyes.

Minnesota (+4) against Tampa Bay
I think the difference will be a field goal, so I'll take the extra point.

New York Giants (-7) over Baltimore
The Giants may not score many points against the Ravens, but the Ravens may not score at all.

Dallas / Washington (Over 42.5)
Romo's return will spark the Cowboys but the Redskins should also score at home, even without Portis.

Minnesota +13.5 vs Wisconsin- Wisconsin will probably win, but I don't see Minnesota by more than 2 touchdowns.

Vanderbilt +4 vs Kentucky- I like Vandy too bring more offense and get bowl eligible.

Boston College +6 vs Florida State- In the last 3 meetings in this series, the road team has won straight up, soem FSU players suspended, so I see BC keeping it close.

Oddsmaker or SBG

Utah -30 over SD State

Utah's last 2 games 13-10 wins. They get a bad SD St team here. Team that has won the game in this series is 18-1 ATS. Utah keeps their unbeaten season going with a blowout win.

Iowa St +27 over Mizzou

Iowa St last home game. They have covered last 3 in series. Gotta think they can stay under this number.

Nevada -14.5 over SJ State

SJ State money train might be over. They have not covered their last 3 and Nevada O is on fire right now.

Ohio St -9 over Illinois

Ohio St finishing strong, Illinois not. Ohio St still wants a decent bowl. Double digit win.

Air Force +4.5 over BYU

Byu has lost 6 straight ATS while AF has covered 3 straight. Takin the home dog here.

New Mex St +17 over Fresno

Fresno has lost 8 straight ATS.

Miss St +22 over Alabama

Road team has covered 6 of last 7. Miss St has had 2 weeks to get ready for this one.

North Carolina -3 @ Maryland: NC's D will take care of Maryland's struggling O.

Georgia -10 @ Auburn: Auburn is horrendous and even if they score more than their 10 ppg average in the sec they wont be closer than 14 of the Dogs.

BYU @ Air Force +4.5: BYU struggled earlier this year against TCU who is a running dominated attack. Air Force is 8-1 in their last 9 home games.
