Eastern Michigan -1 / 2 units
***CFB PLAY OF THE WEEK***
This is a rather strange contest in that Eastern Michigan is coming off of a shocking 24-21 road win at Bowling Green as 19-point underdogs while Army is 0-3 at home, losing to the likes of Division 1-AA New Hampshire. Also, Army is a one-dimensional running team that is averaging a miniscule 55.8 passing yards per game. Meanwhile, the EMU offense has been well balanced, averaging 184.8 rushing yards and 209.2 passing yards per contest. Look for the Eagles to post another road win.
Texas A&M +3 / 2 units
Now, we realize that A&M is not much, but Kansas State is a very vulnerable road favorite vs. anyone considering that they terrible defense is allowing 421.6 total yards per game. The last time the Wildcats were installed as road favorites, they were embarrassed by Louisville on national TV earlier this year. Now the Aggies were crushed at Oklahoma State last week, but the will appreciate returning home vs. this easier opponent.
Florida -6 / 2 units
While we realize that defense wins championships, it is the large disparity in the offenses that will decide this contest. In fact, while the LSU defense gets most of the notoriety, the Gators are only allowing 11.4 points per game in their own right despite allowing 31 points in their loss to Mississippi. However, the key to this outcome will be a well-balanced Florida offensive attack that is averaging 211.6 passing yards per game on 7.9 yards per attempt and 178.6 rushing yards on 5.0 yards per carry. Most impressively, they have accomplished this vs. a tough schedule while LSU ahs padded its stats vs. the Appalachian States and North Texases of the world
