TOLEDO +3 (at Ball State): The Cardinals from Muncie have been feeding on some sorry teams while the Rockets have played Florida and Missouri. They come into this game seeking revenge from last year’s 34-27 home loss as a 5½ point favorite. This game opened at 2½ but we think 3 will be the number. TOLEDO.
OKLAHOMA -3 (at Notre Dame): The Sooners in big revenge mood after getting blown out at Norman last year by the Irish, 30-13. Heading to South Bend, they look to pay back that embarrassing loss in what should be a low scoring game. The Irish are 0-4 ATS this year. OKLAHOMA.
HOUSTON -2½ (at UTSA): The Roadrunners from San Antonio, a place I know well having done my basic training there in 1967, are a feisty team. UTSA has covered all four games so far. The Cougars won and covered their first three, and with a win here and one next week against Memphis could be 5-0 before a huge home game against BYU. We think they get the win in what will be a close game till the end. HOUSTON.
AIR FORCE OVER (at Nevada): We will be betting OVER in this game as the fly boys from from Colorado Springs have little or no defense to speak of, giving up an average 50 points in their last three games. These two scored 79 last year. OVER.
WISCONSIN +7½ (at Ohio St.): Will Urban ever lose a game at Ohio State? We will soon find out as the Big Ten gets into the meat of things and this game will be key to both team’s seasons. The Buckeyes beat the Badgers in Madison last year as a 1-point dog, 21-14, and Wisky has had this game circled since. They could be unbeaten but got robbed in Tempe two weeks ago. This will be a close one with Urban working his magic show, pulling it out late by not by more than a TD. WISCONSIN.
FRESNO ST. -17½ (at Hawaii): The Rainbow Warriors get back to Honolulu and get Fresno State who comes off huge win against Boise last Friday. Fresno will be partying hardy at the sea and in the sun with all those beautifully tanned babes with leis around their necks. HAWAII.
