Captain - are you playing Miss. St. and Colorado?  Or are those just "no-plays" for you? 

Missouri  -14  --- Kansas has been exposed by their tougher schedule this year.  They may not have Sharp or Meier, and they're banged up at LB and DB.  KU is 0-4 SU vs. OK, TT, UT, and Neb, getting outscored by 23 ppg.  Coffman returns for Mizzou, and Daniel will carve up the weak KU D. 

Missouri   45     Kansas   20

New Mexico St  +6  --- The Aggies have covered two in a row for me (see last week's writeup), and the offense has it's stride with the return of the top 2 WR and top RB.  Holbrook was 45-60 for 486 yards and 4 TD last wek!  he's gonna make it rain all day on Utah St.'s #104 Pass D. 

New Mexico St.   41     Utah St.   34

Texas Tech  -21  --- The Red Raiders have absolutely owned Baylor, winning 12 straight by an avg. of 30 ppg and covering 8 of 9.  Baylor vs. OU, Tex, OK St. = outgained by 267 ypg and outscored by 26 ppg.  Harrell throws for 400 yards and 5 TD's in his final home game.

Texas Tech   52     Baylor   21

More writeups to follow! 

I may play Miss st and Colorado, one or the other and I lay off the one that I won't play

pimpdaddy - With your record, if you like most of them, I'll take that as a sign of good things to come! 

capt. hawaiian - go with what you know best, my friend.  You've been terrific capping the WAC this year, so I'm looking forward to cashing with you this weekend! 

ksper - BOL!

Locked in the following plays:

Virginia Tech  -8  --- This is more of a play against UVA, as VT should shut down Verica and his 8-15 ratio.  Not a lot of offense in this game, but VT needs a win to capture the Coastal Division title and the D/ST ge tthe job done.

Virginia Tech  24     Virginia   6

Temple  -2.5  --- DiMichelle threw for 370 yards and 6 TD's last week and now has an 18-4 ratio on the year.  Temple has played every MAC team tough this year and I like their chances of finishing up with a home win over a porous Akron D.

Temple  41     Akron   34

LSU  -4.5  --- I think LSU has a nice bounce-back game here.  They've played 5 straight at home and heard the boos against Ole Miss.  They'l thrive on the road against a banged up Arkansas squad allowing 440 ypg over the last 3 weeks.  SEC is 2-0 as an away favorite this year.

LSU 34     Arkansas  24

Nebraska -17  --- Colorado is avg. only 15 ppg in Big 12 play!  SInce the loss to Mizzou, the Cornhuskers have averaged over 500 ypg and 38 ppg.  Colorado is 0-4 SU and ATS on the road this year, and Ganz and co. should have their way with the mediocre Buffaloes D. 

Nebraska   45     Colorado   17

Teaser --- Pitt +3.5 / UTEP +12.5  --- I know, I pussed out a bit on these two games, but I just couldn't resist the points!  Pitt has the #1 scoring offense in the Big East and will viciously defend their home turf in the Backyard Brawl.  I told you last week about how much I love Trevor Vittatoe and the UTEP offense and he did not disappoint against Houston (27-45 for 362 yards and a 4-0 ratio).  UTEP needs a win to become bowl-eligible and will not stop fighting against an East Carolina team that is 1-8 ATS over its last 9 games. 

Pitt   27     West Virginia   24

East Carolina   38     UTEP   35

Teaser --- Pitt +10.5 / UTEP +12.5 --->   I know, I know ... I'm an idiot for teasing these games       Vittatoe, why hath you forsaken me?

Ole Miss -16.5 ---> 

Temple -2.5 ---> 

LSU -4.5 --->   A big round of applause for LSU choking this game away    Try holding onto a 16 point lead next time ...

Nebraska -17 --->    The play of the game was the fake FG by Neb.  It's pretty tough to give up 30 points when you hold a team under 300 yards of offense, but they managed.

Va. Tech. -8

Mizzou -14

Nevada -4

New Mexico St. +6

Tex Tech -21
