CFB YTD 3-4 -3.6 units
2* 0-2 -4.4 units
1* 3-2 +0.8 units
This will be my final report for Saturday. Two games were posted earlier but their lines have not moved. I like four dogs and one giant favorite.
1* Minnesota -41
I wrote this up in another thread so the short version is Temple is just terrible and travels to meet a Minnesota team that historically beats up on lesser non-conference opponents and is coming off a loss at Cal.
1* San Diego State +14
Wisconsin is a deceptive 2-0. One win was against a very bad Bowling Green team (more on that in another pick) and the other was an uninspiring win over a mediocre I-AA team. SD State has had TWO weeks to prepare for this game after a home pening loss to a solid UTEP team. Wisconsin is very inexperienced on offense and may not be able to keep up. Even if they do lead, they'll likely stay conservative.
1* Kent +11 1/2
Miami isn't very good this year and showed it in the season opener against Northwestern. Miami played well last week but that was against an overrated Purdue team. This is really a pick on Kent State, though. They have 18 starters back from last year and are coming off a game at Army they should have won.
1* Tennessee +3 1/2
I know Tennessee is banged up and should have lost to Air Force but they are at home in an absolutely huge game. Their annihilation of Cal in week one was telling. This game should go to the wire and 3 1/2 is enough many points to pass up on a home dog that might be one of the top 15 teams in the nation.
1* Florida International +5
Bowling Green is way down this year. They needed overtime to beat Buffalo (AT HOME!) last week and now travel to hot weather against an FIU team that has lost two straight road games by one point. Bowling Green will be unmotivated and on vacation in a non-conf game while FIU gets a chance at a win in a rare home game. FIU has won five of its last six straight up at home.
Opinions only:
Wyoming (strong home record)
LSU/Auburn UNDER (two of the best defenses in the country)
Ball State (Purdue isn't that good)
