San Jose state climbs up in altitude to Logan UT to play Utah State at 1 pm MDT. San Jose coming off a short week after getting manhandled on Sunday against Nevada. Utah State also also coming off a loss against Hawaii. Conditions will be quite cold during the game with temperatures near 30 degrees and a north wind of 10 to 15 mph. Wind Chill in the lower 20s expected with San Jose playing out of their element.
I expect a lot of rushing from UT St where they are near the tops in their conference. San Jose near the bottom in rush defense as Nevada Put up 517 on the ground against them on Sunday.

The winless Titans go up to visit Brady and company at the home confines for a late 4 pm game. Weather is going to be nasty all weekend in the Northeast as a low gets cranked up offshore new England and moves up the coast. Strong Northeast winds and periods of showers will plague the game. I think the Pats will do more ball control than typical in these conditions. Titans in a world of hurt now and Sunday not going to help their cause.
The big apple will also see some adverse weather conditions...however after looking at the particulars in the matchup I have a no play on the Jets/Bills right now.
U 43 Pats/Titans

New Mexico @ Wyoming Saturday 2 pm EDTNew Mexico takes their inept 0-5 team up to Laramie to play WY at 6000' altitude. Current forecast calling for winds gusting to 30+ mph along with wind chill factor near zero and a 40 percent chance of snow. Both teams not terribly stellar on offense looking at their numbers.
A low pressure area getting cranked up just south of area will increase winds big time during the game. I really like the time of the game also to coincide with this.
U 47 - 7 units.

Rain to start early Thursday in Columbia MO and continue into the night. One model I look at places the heaviest stripe of rain right over central MO Thursday evening with the other model the heaviest amount somewhat south of the Columbia area at the same time. At any rate we are looking at a significant amount of rain in the area for Thursday and the coaches will likely adjust their game plans upon seeing this very large amount of rain. Rain amounts of 2 to 3 inches are possible in the 6 hour window surrounding the game time. If it does pan out it may turn out like the VT/Miami game with continuous heavy rain. Im not sure about the continuous rain but Ive got a 6 unit play...
