Cincinnatti -3 at South Florida W going against everything I believe in but that ranked road favorite on a weekday night thing simply has not worked this year Rutgers +3.5 against Pitt L get back to the home dog on weekday night and this time it is against Wanne. I really don't like this pick but I'll be damned if I'm going to stay away when all of the stars are lined up like this Texas -3 against Oklahoma Push I haven't really liked the way Oklahoma has looked on defense this year. I think Texas blows them out. USC -10 at ND L ND offense is better this year, but they go up against their first big time D of the year this week. That being said, even if ND can move the ball, their defense is just atrocious and I can see USC playing in the 40's. Is ND going to be playing in the 30's? I say no. Boston College -2.5 against NC State W Purdue +13.5 against Ohio State W Northwestern +13.5 at Michigan State W come on...michigan state giving that much to anybody...come on Iowa +2.5 at Wisconsin W Vanderbilt +8 against Georgia L this line is purely on reputation. there's nothing special about georgia this year Army +9.5 at Temple L Virginia Tech -3 at Georgia Tech Illinois -3 at Indiana L If Illinois is laying points on the road, you know the home team must suck Chiefs +6.5 at Racist Team Name Steelers -14 against Cleveland my play of the week Ravens +3 at Vikings Seahawks -3 against Cardinals that bear victory in seattle is starting to look a lot better Jets -9.5 agaist Bills right up their with the Steeler play in terms of confidence BEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS +3.5 at Falcons BEARSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-Falcons OVER 45.5 |

Week 7 THE Five Diamond Premium VIP Club Lock Of The Year (5)Boise State -9 at Tulsa (55) Boise State hopes the expected return of cornerback Kyle Wilson, the team’s defensive leader and top punt returner, can give the Broncos a boost. Tulsa team led by quarterback G.J. Kinne, who ranks seventh in the Football Bowl Subdivision with a 161.7 passer rating and has thrown for 1,142 yards with 10 touchdowns to only two interceptions. Tulsa (4-1), which played with Boise State in the Western Athletic Conference before moving to Conference USA in 2005, is 0-4 all-time against the Broncos. The teams haven’t met since 2004. The Golden Hurricane are winners of 13 of 14 at home. Broncos too much for Tulsa, take the over. 33-23. |

Pro Balt + 3 vs Minn @ Minn - time for bad Brett to show up. NYJ -9.5 vs Buffalo at NY - could be Jauron's last game Chicago + 3.5 vs Atl @ Atl - I like Bears straight up, call me crazy. Minn/Balt - under 44.5 - seems too high for two solid D's. College OSU -13.5 @ Purdue - Purdue is really really bad. Not sure how this isn't bigger. Texas - 3 vs OK @ Texas - I like Texas by double digits. Alabama -17.5 vs S. Carolina @ Alabama - roll again tide. This team could beat Florida. Notre Dame +9.5 vs USC @ ND - seems like a lot for a rivalry game with a USC team that struggled against OSU. Pitt -6 vs Rutgers @ Rutgers - despite Wanny this team is playing well. Iowa + 2.5 vs Wisc @ Wisc - getting 2.5? Seems too good to be true. Probably is. |

From The Greek NCAA Notre Dame +10 vs USC Irish will find a way to keep this one close on a cold day in South Bend. Illinois/Indiana Under 54 Both teams struggle to score Northwestern +14 @ Mich St. Cats pull off the upset in East Lansing. NFL Chiefs +6 1/2 @ Redskins Two bad teams, take the points. Jags -9 1/2 vs Rams Jacksonville's not great, but 10 points better than the lousy Rams. Packers -13 1/2 vs Lions Possibly no Stafford or Megatron make this one very tough on the Lions. Eagles -14 @ Raiders Line could be 20 and the Eagles would still be a decent play. |

Week 7 Top 25 Rundown (20) Oklahoma at (3) Texas -3 How is this number not at least double??? Longhorns better on both sides of the ball. (7) Ohio State -13 1/2 at Purdue Buckeyes seek their sixth victory in seven games against Purdue (1-5, 0-2), which has lost 19 straight against ranked opponents since beating then-No. 10 Iowa 27-14 in 2003. Boilermakers haven’t lost six consecutive games since Sept. 24-Oct. 29, 2005. (11) Iowa +2 1/2 at Wisconsin Iowa has won 10 in a row dating back to last season - its longest win streak since a 20-game run from 1920-23 - and it is off to its best start since 1985. Iowa has won five of the last seven meetings with Wisconsin, including a 38-16 victory last season. This is the Hawkeyes’ first visit to Madison as a ranked team since 2003. (23) Houston at Tulane +17 The Cougars (4-1, 0-1) are the first C-USA team to beat three BCS conference opponents since Louisville in 2003. The Cougars are 10-4 all-time against Tulane, including a six-game winning streak that has seen them outscore the Green Wave by an average of 22.5 points. (6) USC -10 at (25) Notre Dame Of the Fighting Irish’s six consecutive losses to top-10 teams, three have come against USC. The Trojans are 31-2 since Oct. 19, 2002, against ranked opponents. Texas Tech at (15) Nebraska -10 1/2 Cornhuskers’ defense - first in the Big 12 with averages of 162.6 passing yards and 8.0 points allowed - has a chance to hold its own against Texas Tech (4-2, 1-1). Texas Tech is second nationally in scoring offense (43 ppg), passing offense (444 ypg) and total offense (522 ypg). The Red Raiders allow averages of 349.7 yards and 21.3 points. Minnesota at (14) Penn State -17 1/2 Penn State’s defense has never been a question mark this season, and its once-shaky offense seems to be turning the corner after a sloppy start. Minnesota’s offense, on the other hand, remains a work in progress. That could be bad news for the Golden Gophers on Saturday at Beaver Stadium, where the 14th-ranked Nittany Lions look to turn the Big Ten’s top-ranked defense loose on the conference’s lowest-rated offense. Arkansas at (1) Florida -24 1/2 The Gators, who lead all Football Bowl Subdivision schools in total defense (202.6 yards per game) and scoring defense (6.4 points per game). Colorado State at (12) TCU -22 1/2 Though it’s still in position to play the role of BCS buster, TCU (5-0, 1-0) fell two spots in the poll this week after a 20-17 win at Air Force last Saturday night in its conference opener. Temperatures in Colorado that day dipped into the teens, and the Horned Frogs had a tough time getting their offense on track while playing in an icy mist. TCU now returns to Amon G. Carter Stadium, where it has won 11 straight, and skies are expected to be clear with temperatures in the mid-60s. (18) Brigham Young -17 at San Diego State Cougars (5-1, 2-0) have scored 136 points in three wins since a 54-28 loss to Florida State on Sept. 19. The Cougars have won seven of their last eight meetings with the Aztecs (2-3, 0-1), averaging 46.0 points in the victories. (4) Virginia Tech -3 1/2 at (19) Georgia Tech Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech have two of the most potent offenses in the ACC, but with an edge in the Coastal Division at stake, both are focused on defense this week. The No. 4 Hokies visit the No. 19 Yellow Jackets on Saturday, looking to knock off their third ranked opponent of the season. Virginia Tech (5-1, 3-0) and Georgia Tech (5-1, 3-1) have each put up big offensive numbers this season, with the Hokies scoring a conference-leading 34.2 points per game, while the Yellow Jackets are averaging an ACC-best 426.7 total yards of offense. (17) Kansas at Colorado +9 1/2 For the second straight outing, Kansas (5-0, 1-0) had a tough time keeping its perfect record intact, but its high-powered offense was ultimately able to bail out a leaky defense for a 41-36 win over Iowa State last Saturday. The Jayhawks outlasted Southern Mississippi 35-28 in their previous contest Sept. 26. (9) Miami (FL) -14 at UCF Miami, looking to go 5-1 for the first time since opening 8-1 in 2005, is fourth in the ACC in rushing with 137.6 yards per game. It will face a UCF team with the nation’s 15th-ranked rush defense, allowing 94.4 per game. The Knights (3-2), who are coming off a bye week, are 0-19 against Top 25 teams since becoming a Division I program in 1996. Central Florida has trailed at halftime in all of its games this season. (22) South Carolina +18 at (2) Alabama Alabama is 5-2 against ranked teams since the beginning of last season and won at then-No. 7 Virginia Tech 34-24 in its season opener Sept. 5. Spurrier has faced the Crimson Tide once with South Carolina, a 37-14 home loss on Sept. 17, 2005. Alabama leads the series 11-2, including a 8-1 mark in its home state. The Gamecocks’ only win in Tuscaloosa was 20-3 on Oct. 2, 2004. Missouri +7 at (16) Oklahoma State The off-field issues surrounding All-American receiver Dez Bryant haven’t proved to be too much of a distraction for Oklahoma State on the field, but the No. 16 Cowboys are still hoping the situation will be settled before their next game. Oklahoma State looks to win its fourth straight when it hosts Missouri on Saturday night, hoping Bryant will be reinstated from his suspension in time to play. The Cowboys (4-1, 1-0 Big 12) posted a thrilling victory over Missouri (4-1, 0-1) last year, knocking off the then-No. 3 Tigers 28-23 on Oct. 11, 2008, to derail their national title hopes. Oklahoma State’s coaching staff is trying to keep the team focused on Saturday’s rematch, but it could be difficult given the news that Bryant and his reinstatement application has made this week. (24) Utah -16 1/2 at UNLV The 24th-ranked Utes look for a third straight victory as they visit struggling UNLV on Saturday night in a Mountain West contest. After spending three weeks unranked following a 31-24 loss at Oregon on Sept. 19, Utah (4-1, 1-0) returned to the AP Poll this week after beating Louisville 30-14, and Colorado State 24-17 on the road last Saturday. The Rebels lost 59-21 to then-No. 18 BYU last Saturday after falling 63-28 at Nevada a week earlier. UNLV has allowed 1,384 yards of offense in those two defeats. |

Northwestern +14 over Mich St Road team owns this series. Northwestern has covered their last 5 as a road dog. Houston -17 over Tulane Tulane is bad and Houston has won by 24+ the last 3 years. No reason this one should be any different. Idaho -8 over Hawaii Idaho has covered every game this year as a dog. Now they are favored for the 1st time. Idaho has been good to me the last few weeks and I will stay with them even as a fav. Hawaii has issues at QB. |

Ohio State -13.5 vs Purdue- I don't know good Ohio State is, last 3 of 4 touchdowns came from interception and kickoff return, I like Purdue to get a late touchdown, for a Buckeye win of 27-14. Wake Forest +7 vs Clemson- Wake is starting to put wins together and just never know what I am going to see from Clemson. Miami -14 vs Central Florida- As long as Miami shows up and cares, this will be an easy cover. |

(Giants good road team; of these two I think Giants are more for real) |
