I had a perfect weekend last weekend in pro and college, going 3-0 (plus two pushes) and 2-0 in the NFL. I also hit all three of my non-rated opinions.
Several of these were posted earlier in the week and the line I am using is the one at the time of the original post (as always).
2* Syracuse -6 1/2
I won last weekend going against overrated Miami-OH and I'm firing right back at them. Miami couldn't beat Kent at home last week and must now travel to face a much tougher opponent. Syracuse went 1-10 last year but is much improved this year and is coming off a solid win over Illinois. The offense is better and the defense is excellent. Miami has only a few returning starters from last year and will struggle all year against good teams.
1* Michigan -13 1/2
Michigan is one of the best teams in the country and its annihilation of Notre Dame was stunning. Wisconsin is vastly overrated and is 3-0 only because its non-conf schedule is very week. Badgers could manage only 14 points at home against SD State. They'll be lucky to get 10 here. Michigan, on the other hand, is unstoppable and QB Henne is a darkhorse for Heisman. Wisconsin has always been a great road dog but that was under Alvarez. Things may be different now.
1* Florida State -30 1/2
Rice got whipped last week in Houston against Texas and now has to travel to play a team that lost a huge game at home. They were probably pumped up for the in-state game and may letdown badly after getting killed in it. Bowden loves to crush teams and needs a blowout to get back into the national championship mix. Rice will not score against this defense.
1* Washington +3 1/2
I love going against QBs making their first road start. This is a real tough spot for UCLA as Washington has momentum off its win over Fresno State. Washington also looked very good in a road loss against Oklahoma. I think Washington will have a better season than UCLA so getting points at home is a steal.
1* Texas A & M -23
I won earlier in the year when A & M was laying a lot of points against Lou-Laf and everything applies again. Franchione has scheduled a pathetic non-conf slate in order to rebuild confidence in his program and get the attention of pollsters. The point is to slaughter teams. A & M was dull last week versus Army and will likely be highlly motivated here. Louisiana Tech has a very inexperienced defense against A & M's veteran offense. Absolute blowout.
Opinions only:
Mississippi (home team in a non-conf matchup)
Indiana (will bounce back after loss to I-AA team)
Western Michigan (Temple is terrible)
Cincinnati/Virg.Tech UNDER (two good D's)
