Rutgers -3 @ UL Throwing out last week for the Knights who are a better team than Louisville. Kragthorpe out after this one.

NIU @ CMU -13 Chippewas beat on teams that think they are better than what they are. Ask Akron or Bowling Green or Western michigan.

Packers O rolls on. Hopefully Detroit O can get about 17.

Dallas -13.5 over Oakland

I went against Dallas last week. Not this week. The way Dallas has played the last 2 weeks there is no way they take the Raiders lightly. After Oakland's first 2 wins this year they lost their next games by 20 and 38. Dallas big.

Green Bay/Detroit under 48.5 WIN
NY Giants -4.5 LOSS
Oakland +14 LOSS

1-2

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

South Fla +7 over Mia FL

Mia Fl not as good on the road. S Fla D comes up big. FG game.

Tulane +18.5 over SMU

Tulane has covered the last 5 at SMU. SMU 0-3 as a fav this year.

San Diego St +6.5 over UNLV

Sd St has covered 6 of 7 in this series. UNLV 0-2 as a fav this year.

Washington St +24.5 over Washington

Last 4 between these two have been decided by 4, 3, 7 and 3. Wash 0-1 as a fav this year.

Utah +7.5 over BYU

Visitor is 13-4 ATS and dog is 12-4 ATS. Good enuff for me.

Arizona -3 over Ariz St

Pinnacle Sports, and a note on today's games, if you had Nebraska, wasn't that a tough loss, and if you had Colorado, keep playing you have luck on your side for a while.

Clemson -3.5 vs South Carolina- I like Clemson to get a nice win before the ACC title game, not a big fan of Garcia the Gamecock's quarterback.

Tennesee -3 vs Kentucky- Kentucky probably drank all week celebearting the win over Georgia and Tennesee doesn't lose to Kentucky.

Florida State +25 vs Florida- It will be all about Tebow in this one, but I don't think Florida wants to score a lot of points on offense, like their nice long drives, were they win about 27-6.

Notre Dame +10 vs Stanford- After a bad week for the Irish, Claussen gets punched, coach gone soon, I just have a feeling that the Irish keep this one close, but I will say if they don't, you will probably hear more of the Gerhart for Heisman, having a big game against Notre Dame can really boost your rankings in the heisman.

Mizzou -3 1/2 vs Kansas KU's bad luck continues in Kansas City

Wake Forest/Duke U 53 1/2 Can't see enough offense for the total in this one

Houston +3.5 over Indy
Carolina +3.5 over NY Jets
Baltimore -2 over Pittsburgh

Pinnacle Sports

Dolphins -3.5 vs Bills- Henne and Williams have the Dolphins offense going good and the don't know what to expect from the Bills.

Jaguars +3 vs 49ers- The Jaguars are fighting for the playoffs and hopefully learned from the trip to Seattle when they lost 41-0.

Vikings -10.5 vs Bears- I like the Vikings to put the final nail in the Bears season, Cutler be afraid, the Vikings D is coming.

Minnesota -10.5 over Chicago

Only 10.5? I can't see the Bears scoring more than 14. Vikes should be able to get into the 30's. Favorite on a 13-3 ATS run in Bear games. Is this the game Cutler goes down in?

Carolina +3.5 over NYJets

Carolina back as a dog after losing as a fav in their last game. Dog has covered their last 5 games.

Over 42 Sea/Stl

Neither D is very good. Both teams should reach the 20's.

Over 45 Az/Ten

I think Tenn O gets into the 30's.

11/29
Ravens -8

11/30
Saints -1.5

Pinnacle Sports

Patriots +1 vs Saints- I think the Patriots will have learned what to do after the last time they played and undefeated and should knock the Saints from the undefeated.

Patriots and Saints over 56.5- The Saints can score at home, Patriots can score anywhere, so it should be high scoring.
