12-15 this season and 0-2 on the week.
I am terrible right now and not making a very good impression, but I am going to keep plugging away.
Cincinnati/West Virginia Over 51
Both teams have offenses capable of moving the ball and each only returned 4 starters on defense. Their defenses still have not proven anything by shutting down one of the worst offenses in college football, East Carolina.
Northwestern (+3')
The Cats should have won outright LW. Basanez threw 3 picks in the 4th Qtr and allowed Air Force to eek out the W. However, NW is still an improved team and are only allowing 21 ppg on defense.
I think Northwestern will be jacked up with all of this controversy surrounding Chance Harridge and the punch of their asst coach. Plus, Walker still wants to beat his former school, which he did not do in 1999.
Purdue (+1)
I see a lot of people on Wake and the trends point towards them, but I am all over Purdue here. They lost at home to the Demon Deacons LY b/c of bad officiating (21 class were ruled incorrect by the Big 10 Conference offices), 5 turnovers and 3 missed FG's.
Wake has been outgained by an average of 135 yards per game thus far and they are 2-0. Both BC and NC State had huge lookahead games when they played Wake Forest. Purdue needs a win after losing at home Bowling Green. They simply have the huge talent and experience edge here.
Vanderbilt (+12')
Auburn has failed to cover their L3 in Nashville. They are 3-8 ATS away off a previous loss. Meanwhile, the home team is
8-0-1 ATS in this series. Vandy is also 9-2 ATS as a DD dog versus an opponent of a loss as a favorite.
Vandy covered against Ole Miss and are a scrappy team that does not quit. I think Auburn is just looking to get a Win here.
Notre Dame (+10')
Everyone is down on the Irish big time after their performance LW. The same thing happened last year when the Irish won with "smoke and mirrors" and luck, but they kept covering and covered the first 8 out of the gate.
The dog is 15-2 ATS in this series (7-0 L7). The Irish are also 4-0 ATS the last 4 vs. Michigan.
Michigan is 2-11-1 ATS off B2B covers and 1-8 ATS as DD HF's off BB wins.
I think Michigan has a great rushing offense led by Chris Perry, but Notre Dame's strength is stopping the run. They allowed only 1.8 ypc versus Washington State LW. I just think that both teams have equally good defenses and that will keep the game close.
Washington State (+5)
Colorado is looking at being 3-0 for the first time in a long time with a major lookahead to Florida State next week. Washington State comes off a tough loss in South Bend. It looks too easy to take the Buffs here.
Wazzu is 16-6 ATS away versus non-conference and 7-2 ATS the L4Y as an Away Dog. CU is 2-5 ATS in the 2nd of 2+ HG's since 1997.
The Buffs suffered a huge injury on defense with their top pass rusher DE Marques Harris now out for the year.
Plus, I still think Joel Klatt is an unproven commodity. He will have a lot of pressure on him here with the Buffs ground game only averaging 95 ypg.
Will add a few more tomorrow.
