I went 2-2 last weekend in CFB but the winners included my biggest play of the year, a 3* on Kentucky, and a 2* on Hawaii.
1* Cincinnati +7
Possible straight up upset here. Both teams have outstanding defenses (consider a small play on the under) and Rutgers is an obvious letdown situation after the big win over Louisville. Before Cincy's loss at West Virginia, they had consecutive wins over conference rivals South Florida and Syracuse and lost by only six to Louisville. Rutgers has a great defense but only so-so offense and getting this many points at home is irresistible in what is likely to be a low-scoring game.
1* Iowa State +13 1/2
This play is all about intangibles. Iowa State fired McCarney this week, a very emotional coach who had the support of his players. They will be highly motivated to send him out on a winning note. Missouri is in a big letdown spot after losses to Oklahoma and Nebraska. While this is Iowa State's last game (and at home to boot), Missouri has one game remaining at home next week.
1* Minnesota -2 1/2 (-115)
Two teams with very disappointing seasons. Minnesota can get to .500 and a cheap bowl and is coming off two smashing wins. Iowa has looked lousy five weeks in a row and will likely get a bowl bid even if they finish .500 because the two-bit bowls love teams whose fans like to travel to follow the team. So what's their motivation? While Minnesota's defense is weak, so is Iowa's offense which has been pathetic even with the return of Drew Tate.
Opinions only: Hawaii (the best college offense of the decade)
Boise State (rebounds big after last week's scare)
Kentucky (major momentum vs. overmatched opponent)
Rutgers/Cincinnati UNDER (reasons stated above)
NFL:
(I'll write the plays up later but am betting these now at these lines)
