YTD: 4-5
Some early games for today:
12:20 p.m play: Kentucky +3
Through four outings, Kentucky is generating 461.0 total ypg thanks to
tremendous balance. Led by Mike Hartline who has completed 65.8 percent
of his passes for 922 yards with six scores and two interceptions, the
Wildcat offense faces Ole Miss defense permitting 32.0 ppg and 346.8
total ypg. The defense has already allowed 14 touchdowns, including eight passing scores.
Opposing quarterbacks have been permitted to complete two-thirds of
their passes against the Rebels, who have yet to record an
interception. Further, the Rebels struggled against the pass in last
week's win over Fresno State, as the starting quarterback of the
Bulldogs finished 32-of-42 for 390 yards with four touchdowns and no
interceptions. Additionally, Kentucky are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road
games. I'm taking the more balanced team and the points.
12:00 p.m play: Clemson +3
While the 'Canes have only surrendered 39 points through three games,
they are giving up 6.5 yards/pass attempt on the road. That could be
the key as Clemson's Kyle Parker has completed 35-of-60 passes for 503
yards with six touchdowns and only one interception. Against Auburn
last time out, Clemson posted 414 yards and scored three touchdowns,
including two through the air. Parker completed 21-of-35 passes for 227
yards and was not intercepted. Meanwhile, opponents are scoring a
modest 19.3 ppg against Clemson, which is yielding 388.3 total ypg.
And, Miami quarterback Jacory Harris has 6td's and 6 INT's on the year.
Finally, Clemson are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 conference games. Clemson
is talented enough to beat Miami, and I look for them to rebound from
the heart-breaking loss to Auburn at home. 2:00 PM Play: Western Michigan +3 (-105)
Idaho coming off a tough 36-34 loss at Colo St (FG as time expired) while the home Broncos are fresh off a bye. I'll go with the home team as this is the second straight road road trip and on its 3rd away game in 4 wks for the Vandals.
