Friday:
1* Pittsburgh pk
This is not only a huge rivalry game but one with BCS implications. If Pitt wins, it goes to a BCS bowl if it beats Cincy next week. WV may be at home but has lost two of its last three. Pitt hasn't played a poor game all year.
1* Kent State +3
Buffalo has been a go-against team for me all year. They're only 4-7 while Kent is 5-6 so why is Buffalo favored on the road? Answer: they shouldn't be. Kent returns home after playing four of the last five on the road.
1* Tulsa -16 1/2
Memphis simply quit after the announcement of Tommy West's firing. Tulsa has had a very disappointing year but still has a solid offense and should score a lot of points at home against a bad Memphis defense whose coaching staff is job-hunting.
1* Colorado +10 1/2
Colorado might save Hawkins' job with an upset here. This game is meaningless for Nebraska as they've clinched the Big 12 North and are very likely looking ahead to next week's title game against Texas. Colorado almost beat powerful Ok State on the road last week and should be highly motivated in the last game of the year, at home.
Opinion only:
Eastern Michigan (Akron laying 16 1/2?????)
Saturday:
2* Idaho -2 1/2
This is a terrible line! Idaho is 7-4 and playing at home while Utah State is 3-8 and on the road. Even better, Utah State is very likely flat after playing Boise at home last week. Idaho has has two weeks to prepare for this game. This is Idaho's best season in ages and they'll want to go out with a home win. Idaho probably nails down a bowl bid with a win.
1* UCLA +13
Two teams going in opposite directions in this crosstown rivalry. USC has been overrated all year and has lost two of its last three in blowouts. UCLA, on the other hand, is really coming together with three wins in a row as Norm Chow's offense is finally kicking in. Don't be shocked by a SU upset.
Opinions only:
Duke
Miss/Miss State OVER
UTEP
Utah
Houston/Rice OVER
NFL:
Thursday:
1* Packers/Lions OVER 47 1/2
Detroit can't stop anybody. They even gave up 37 to Cleveland! GB lost two of its best three defensive players, Harris and Kampmann, in the last game and has a short week to adjust.
1* Cowboys -13 1/2
I predict a shutout. Dallas is playing outstanding defense right now. Oakland is likely for a huge letdown after clebrating their home upset of the Bengals and now traveling on a short week.
