NIU -3 at Kent State The NIU defense has been battered the last couple of weeks against the best teams in the conference. The cupcakes come back this week and I think the D will dominate. Central Michigan +7 against Ball State loves me some ranked road favorite playing a weeknight nationally televised game Buffalo +4 at Bowling Green Should have more than enough O to keep it within 4 in a high scoring game Ohio State -20.5 against Michigan Jim Tressel has learned the value of running up the score and this Shitigan team is as bad as they come in the big ten. They are a team in turmoil as well. I think we will see some quit from the Wolverines and a 42-7 OSU win Illinois -3 at NU Too many injuries to too many critical players catches up to the Wildcats. The defense has played well but now has lost a key DL to go along with their MLB, RB, QB and CB. Boston College +2 at Wake Forest My upset pick of the week. The only Wake offense is it's defense. That is good news against a relatively inexperienced BC QB who is on the road. The bad news is that BC is just as opportunistic on D and has more offensive firepower. Cincinnatti -5 against Pitt I'll be damned if I am going to pick Wannie to go on the road against a ranked opponnent. Iowa -6 at Minnesota It's been a nice run but the clock is stricking for this Cinderella. Minny has really turned into the team it was supposed to be over the last 1/3 of the season. I see Iowa completely shutting down that O and Green being able to gind out a 24-3 victory. Utah -7 against BYU I think BYU is a horribly overrated team. This is round robin battle with Boise for the non BCS team to get the invite. I see it as Utah. Maryland +1 against FSU What is with these out of whack ACC lines this week? Another dog that I like to win straight up. I like what I am seeing out of this Maryland running game in the second half of the season. Texas Tech +7 at Oklahoma The big game of the night. The line scares me. Has Oklahoma defended anyone this year? Is there a team TT cannot keep up with offensively? Then why is this 7. Seems like someone is begging you to take the Red Raiders. I'll fall for the trap. Browns -3 against Texans Browns offense is getting going. Even if Texans keep it close I expect Rosenfels to throw a pick at a crucial point. |

NIU/Kent over 24 (2nd half) If not for turnovers, this game would be much higher than 14-7. |

Ball State -7 vs. CMU -To the best of my knowledge, Ball State hasn't won a game by less than two touchdowns. |

Illinois -2.5 vs. Northwestern -Why? Dontfademe.com Purdue -12 vs. Indiana -Even though the records do not reflect it, I think Purdue is the far superior team and will use this as a chance to have a happy ending to a terrible season. Michigan +21 vs. Ohio State -This game will be closer than this. Ohio State wins, but they will get the best from Michigan. Michigan State +14.5 vs. Penn State -I think Penn State wins the game, but I like the value of 14.5. Iowa -6 vs. Minnesota -Iowa's running game is too much for Minnesota Texas Tech +7 vs. Oklahoma -I think Texas Tech is good enough to keep it close, if not win it outright. I'd expect this game to come down to the final 2 minutes and therefore I'll take the 7 points. |

From thegreek.com: Ball State (-6.5) over Central Michigan Line just went down under a touchdown so I have to jump on it. The Cardinal screwed me last week so they owe me this week. |

Central Michigan +6.5 over Ball State this BCS nightmare will be over!

He won't Houston Cougars-17 agaisnt Utep Cougars too quick Purdue-11 vs Indiana Win won for the Tiller! |

The big Thursday game in the ACC Miami +3 vs Georgia Tech- Miami comes in and not only covers but win this game straight, got the Carolina loss and now can see the ACC title game and break the 3 game losing streak to GTech. |

To go along with my Ball State pick the other night (Win), my picks from thegreek.com: Ohio State / Michigan (Over 44) OSU may score that many themselves, but I'm guessing Michigan will get some garbage points at the end. Northwestern (+3) against Illinois Painfull to pick against the Illini (two weeks in a row), but I just don't understand how Northwestern is a home dog. Oklahoma (-7) over Texas Tech I still find it hard to believe that the Red Raiders are contenders. Indianapolis (+3) against San Diego The Colts have righted the ship and are ready to roll. New England (+1) against Miami The Patriots want revenge and Cassel is coming off a very good game. Chicago (-7.5) over St. Louis I hate to make this pick, but the Bears need this one badly. New York Jets (+5.5) against Tennessee I'm not calling for the outright win, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets pull off the upset. The Titans will lose eventually. |

Pittsburgh +5.5 vs Cincinnati- I hope Pitt wins this game, it would be hard to watch a BCS bowl game with Cincinnati in it. Sentimental Pick Purdue -11.5 vs Indiana- Tiller's last game, I do hope Purdue gets this one done early and make the 4th quarter a celeberation, and that is what it should be tommorow. West Virginia -7 vs Lousivill- West Virginia needs the win to keep Big East title hopes alive, and Lousiville is coming off a tough loss last week to CIncinnati. |
