CKO
CONFIDENTIAL KICK-OFF
PRIORITY PICKS and
PREFERENCES
CKO Vol. 47 Oct. 2 - 6, 2008 No. 6

CKO CHOICE IN CAPITALS
* - Denotes Home Team
RATINGS: 11 - Exceptional, 10 - Strong, 9 - Above Average

11 *MINNESOTA over Indiana
Late Score Forecast:
*MINNESOTA 40 - Indiana 21

CKO scouts expect Minnesota HC Tim Brewster to rally his club off Ohio State loss for what is a crucial game in Minny’s quest for bowl eligibility. Gophers have ample weapons to lay open a banged-up Indiana “D”, which has suffered injuries to three 2ndary starters and its nickel back and has yielded 960 total yards & 84 pts. in last 2 games vs. Ball St. & Michigan State. Minny QB Adam Weber is 2nd in the Big Ten in passing and is more efficient this season, with an 8-2 TD-int. ratio (was 24-19 LY). WR Eric Decker not only leads the Big Ten in receptions, but o.c. Mike Dunbar is using him as a runner as well (8 carries, 77 YR last 4 games). Running game hasn’t fallen off much after injury to Duane Bennett, as true frosh DeLeon Eskridge (90 ypg rushing & 5 TDs last 3 games). Indiana QB Kellen Lewis, who was shaken up last week, has seen his passing production take a nosedive this season from 234 ypg LY to 162 in ‘08. Obviously, he misses departed WRs James Hardy & James Bailey, while new lead receiver Ray Fisher has just 4 catches this season.



10 *KANSAS STATE over Texas Tech
Late Score Forecast:
*KANSAS STATE 34 - Texas Tech 31

Long-time Big XII scouts report oddsmakers paying a bit too much respect to offensively-flashy Texas Tech (leads nation in passing), which has feasted on “cupcakes” and defensively-inept teams so far in ‘08. With
KSU’s demanding HC Prince reportedly spending extra time on tackling fundamentals and techniques after too many misses the past two weeks, doubt Red Raider QB Harrell and mates maintain those eye-popping numbers in hostile Manhattan. Meanwhile, Wildcats 6-6, 260 dual-threat QB Freeman (67%, 11 TDs, 2 ints., hasn’t been sacked yet) should fully exploit a still-vulnerable TT defense that yielded 490 yds. vs. Nevada. With Wildcats ground attack suddenly having much more pop with converted 6-3, 215 soph WR Lamark Brown rumbling for 137 yds. in his debut week ago, Prince’s rising squad capable of minor upset. Red Raiders a woeful 1-7 as 7-pt. or fewer road favorite since ‘03.



10 STANFORD over *Notre Dame
Late Score Forecast:
STANFORD 23 - *Notre Dame 20

The pointspread is rising on this game after Notre Dame pulled away from inconsistent Purdue last week. But Pac-10 scouts report things are finally starting to “slow down” for Stanford QB Tavita Pritchard, who rallied the
Cardinal in the second half two weeks ago for a 23-10 victory over stubborn San Jose and the threw three TD passes in last week’s 35-28 road triumph at desperate Washington. Stanford power back Toby Gerhart (check status) suffered a mild concussion in that game. But sr. Anthony Kimble is the former starter at the same spot! And, with eight srs. on a defense that returned nearly intact from LY, you can be sure it won’t lose its poise at South Bend. The Cardinal has already taken on Oregon State, Arizona State, and TCU—all likely 2008 bowl teams. And you can be sure HC Jim Harbaugh (the former Michigan QB) will have the visitor properly motivated.



10 *WISCONSIN over Ohio State
Late Score Forecast:
*WISCONSIN 27 - Ohio State 19

Wisconsin is coming off a distasteful loss at Michigan, in which the Badgers gave up an uncharacteristic four turnovers and blew a 19-0 lead. Intense Wisconsin HC Bret Bielema will have his team ready to “man up” against Ohio State this week, and he won’t let the Badgers forget that they led the Buckeyes 17-10 late in the third quarter before yielding four TDs in the last 18 minutes in ‘07. Wisconsin has been a powerful play in Madison, notching 27-1 SU & 17-9 spread marks the last 4+ seasons (and the Badgers are 6-2 vs. the number following their last 8 losses). Ohio State QB Pryor has added something to the Buckeye attack, but this is a hostile environment for a youngster. OSU defense not bringing the same type of pressure it has in past, and Buckeyes might look more like they did in trip to USC than they did in 1st 3 Qs vs. Minny.


HONORABLE MENTION (Nine-Rated Games):

MARSHALL (+3½) vs. Cincinnati (Friday night)—Cincy QB injuries and what figures to be a wild home crowd pulling for Thundering Herd in an ESPN extravaganza reasons enough to take a flyer with Marshall...

COLORADO STATE (-2) vs. Nevada-Las Vegas—The real UNLV defense showed up against Nevada and allowed 444 yards on the ground. CSU 5th-yr. sr. RB Gartrell Johnson is looking for a career high...

AKRON (-3½) at Kent State—Kent State is 0-11 in last 11 games on the line, and leading RB Eugene Jarvis has missed the last two games with an
ankle injury. Akron is 6-1-1 vs. the number last 8, and QB Jacquemain throws for 200 yds. or more every time out...

UTEP (+8) at Southern Miss—UTEP QBVittatoe looked sharp vs. Central Florida, and the aggressive Miner defense has made some big plays the last two games. USM defense yielding an uncharacteristically high 27 ppg and ranks 110th vs. the run...J


JACKSONVILLE (estimated line: -3) vs. Pittsburgh—Jaguars have had the Steelers number, winning last four meetings, and Pittsburgh coming off important Monday night AFC North clash against Baltimore<!-- / message -->

Wunderdog

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Game: Oklahoma at Baylor (Saturday 10/04 12:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Baylor +27 (-110)

Oklahoma, the new #1 team in the nation, is very good. But are they, on the road, 27 points better than Baylor? Perhaps they are, but will they play that way before Texas weekend? Next week's showdown is quickly becoming a stage for who will be in the National Championship Game. It's hard to imagine Oklahoma being 100% focused on this game. Baylor is not the doormat they have been in the past. Robert Griffin is difficult to defend, as he can throw down field and he keeps the defense off balance with his abilty to run. He has some very good numbers for a freshman (seven passing TDs, five rushing TDs and no INTs). Jay Finley has found daylight out of the backfield at 8.1 yards per carry, and Baylor should be able to put some points up here. The question is how much energy is Oklahoma willing to spend with the biggest game of the year on deck? I say not enough to cover four touchdowns on the road. History agrees as the Sooners are 5-11 ATS the week before Texas the last sixteen years. Add in the fact that Baylor is well rested (and presumably well prepared) off a bye, and we have some real value on the dog here.

(331) Texas Tech
(332) Kansas St
Take "(331) Texas Tech"
Texas Tech has yet to be tested, and some observers therefore consider the Red Raiders to be a bit overrated at this juncture. I don't think that's the case and I'm of the belief this is going to be Mike Leach's best team yet. There's been a subtle change in the Texas Tech attack this season. In the past, they've been unwilling or unable to feature any consistent running game. But this season we're seeing the Red Raiders balancing things a bit more. Make no mistake, this team will still live and die by the pass. But the fact Leach is showing more faith in the run will enable them to protect leads better. The Tech defense is also better than it has been previously. Kansas State can't trade with the Red Raiders offensively, and they've been absolutely porous defensively. I don't see this one being especially close, even in Manhattan, and I'm laying the points with Texas Tech.
