BIG TEN- (MichSt -6 @NWestrn): The Spartans are on a roll. They had an opportunity to have a big let down after the Michigan game but were very focused in their dismantling of Illinois last week. Sparty rolls into Northwestern, who it has had some trouble with, going only 1-5 ATS in the last 6 vs. the Wildcats. Northwestern is always pesky, however we feel this years squad is not as good as its 5-1 record indicates. Sparty drops the hammer on the Cats. MICHST 31 NWESTRN 19.
BIG EAST- (Sry @ WVirg -13.5): Syracuse had a huge opportunity to show the Big East it is no longer a pushover and failed miserably last week at home. Pitt QB Sunseri peeled and slice The Orange with 4TD passes in route to a 31pt victory. Meanwhile, Coach Stewart has the 20th ranked Mountaineers humming along. QB Geno Smith has been amazingly efficient throwing 14TD passes vs. only 2INT. Add to that the highly ranked WV defense has only allowed 246 yards per game. We are looking for the Orange to get severely bruised in Morgantown. WVIRG 31 SYR 10.
INDPENDENT- (ND -6.5@ Navy): For whatever reason the Navy triple option attack has not been as effective this year. Big things were expected of The Midshipmen and QB Ricky Dobbs. Navy is 4-2 but have struggled to get there, with Dobbs only averaging 2.9yrds a carry and completing only 50% of its passes. Irish coach Brian Kelly has his squad improving game by game as they are starting to get comfortable with the new system. This one may be tight for a while but ND has too much in the end for the Midshipmen. ND 33 NAVY 20.
MAC- (WMich -7.5 @ Akron):Sophomore QB Alex Carder seems to getting a feel for the Bronco passing attack just in time for upcoming big games against Northern Illinois and Central Michigan that could decide the MAC Western Division Crown. The rebuilding Zips have been a sieve on Defense allowing over 430yds. a game, while the offense has been anemic averaging under 250yds. Broncs kick the Zips in the mouth.
WMICH 35 AKR 20.
BIG 12- (Okl -3 @ Mizzou): A battle of the unbeatens. This shapes up to be a good one. A stingy Tiger defense vs the an explosive Sooner offense. We can't help feel however that the Sooners are much more battle tested than the Tigers. Missouri has fed off a relatively soft schedule and have played 5 of those first 6 at home. The Sooner Schooner chases the Tigers back into their den.
OKL 28 MIZZOU 20.
PAC 10- (Wash @ Arz -6.5): The Wildcats will be without their QB Nick Foles, a loss an already average offense could hardly afford. As for the Huskies, they may end up having played the toughest schedule in the country when it is all said and done. They have knocked off #18 USC on the road and #24 Oregon St. so far. We think Jake Locker and crew keep this one close and perhaps pull off the upset. Huskies trump the Cats this weekend. WASH 24 ARZ 23.
