I like this play too Husker...The only reason it's not bigger for me is because when teams get into MAC conference play, things tend to tighten up considerably. That's why I also took Akron and the points. But Buffalo will definitely be a contender for the MAC title. And Temple is on the same side of the bracket. So this is a must-win situation for Buffalo to protect their home turf.

Mizzou Is Definitely The Right Play And I Am With You As Well On Usf. Always Respect Your Opinions And Writeups But Your Selection Of Maryland As Best Bet Of Week Is Surprising. Maryland Will Have To Likely Keep Bears Under 28 Points To Cover In This Game. I Don't See That Happening. Maryland Has Shown To Be A Decent Defensive Team And A Lousy Offensive Team. Again Both Teams They Played Are Cupcakes And They Are 1-1 Barely Beating Delaware At Home. Cal Has Beat A Decent Msu Team And Beat Up A Wsu Team In Disseray But Still Much Better Competition Than What Maryland Has Played And Beat Both Of Them Solidly. Going Cross Country For Cal And Home Game For Maryland Are Both Terripin Advantages But Not Enough Here Imo. Love To Hear Your Responses On This One Again. I Believe This One Gets Ugly In The 2nd Half If Not Sooner As Maryland Has No Confidence To Speak Of Going Into This Game. Great Start To The Season!

I understand everything your saying. Cal is hot. They've given everydoy they've played a thrashing. And they're looking to do it again. Do you think these things didn't go through my mind when capping this game? I'm not any different than anybody else. I try to weigh the positives and negatives of both teams. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong. I looked at these positives about Cal. But then I looked at the negatives. I saw where last season this same Cal team knocked off Tennessee in their first game in front of a national audience. And earned a top 5 rating. Everybody thought they were worldbeaters. They then went to Colorado State the next week as 14 point favorites and barely escaped with a 6 point win. Sound familiar? I guarantee you CSU wasn't as good last season (3-9) as this Maryland team. After that close game Cal then went on to wipe the floor of Arizona, but then lose at home as 2 TD favorites to Oregon St., and then proceeded to go on a 3 game losing string and then losing 6 out of their last 7 games. including a loss to Stanford!. Despite beating WSU, this team has a terrible ATS road record under Tedford. And they are all over the map. They are NOT a consistent team at all.
Kojak, you can read my opinion of this CAL team up above in my response to Poet. I know things appear bleak for Maryland. It kind of reminds me of the game last night. Most people on here were taking Rutgers because they figured North Carolina is going to struggle in the game because they barely got by 1AA McNeese State 35-27 in their first game. Appearances can be deceiving. And I've always been more of a situational/matchups than a numbers capper. CAL could really be THAT good this year. But CAL has a long history of breaking your heart when you like them the most..We'll just have to see if they've overcome it. Three scores is still quite a few points to give another BCS conference bowl caliber team on the road.
