Karl Garrett 40 DIMER - AIR FORCE....10 DIMERS - UNLV, & FLORIDA 40 DIMER - AIR FORCE FALCONS
The Rams have officially hit the skids, losing 5 straight, while failing their last pair, and 3 of 4. Hard for me to imagine Colorado State staying with the Force in this one, as Air Force may be just 4-4, but a closer look shows ALL 4 losses coming by a TD or less.
The Falcons may not be able to move through the air, but their veteran defense has been able to force 23 turnovers this season, and that defense is surely licking their chops against regressing Col State QB Stuckey who is completing his passes at less than 50% for his last 3 games!
Air Force has home games against Army, and UNLV coming up before closing at BYU, so expect the Propeller Heads to do some damage today as they start what should be a 3-game winning streak heading into that Provo date on November 21st.
The Falcons have won the last 3 in this series, and have covered the last pair of games, both wins coming by double-digits. Air Force is also 4-1 against the spread a road favorite under Coach Calhoun.
Lay it!
10 DIMER - UNLV REBELS
The Purple People Eaters of College Football are on major letdown alert after crushing BYU on the road last week.
UNLV is much better than their 3-5 record, with only a 2 point loss to Oregon State, a 3 point loss AT Wyoming (one of the toughest road venues in NCAA).
The Runnin' Rebels scored 34 points on the road last weekend in their win at New Mexico, and are being given 34 points or so this week before the kick-off!!?!?!
Last week the Rebels held onto the ball for 37 minutes and if they can hold on to the ball for a while today, they lose by no more than 17 points.
TCU is a wrecking ball, no doubt about it, but this is too many points even for the Horned Frogs to cover.
10 DIMER - FLORIDA GATORS
This is one of those games where you look at the line and automatically bite on Georgia plus the points, but I am not of that opinion.
Georgia did pull away from Vanderbilt 2 weeks ago, and did have off last week in order to get ready for this showdown, but I still have my questions regarding the Bulldogs weak defense, and their weak running game.
Florida has not be able to deliver the KO punch against Arkansas or Miss State the last 2 weeks as the double-digit favorite, and they were also sluggish against Tennessee. The fact is, the Gators are down a few weapons on offense, but Tim Tebow is out for some redemption from last week's poor showing, and we all know the Florida defense is among the best in the nation.
I expect a few forced turnovers from the Gators "D", and I expect the Tebow and his offense to cash in on the short fields set up by the defense. In the end, Florida covers this number as they quiet the critics of their # 1 ranking for the week.
Lay the chalk with the Gators.
