YTD: 26-28 -9.55 units but 3-2 last week
2* Missouri -10 1/2
Both teams have lost four in a row but Missouri incredibly still has a shot to win the awful Big 12 North. Missouri is only 4-5 but has blown four games by falling apart late. Kansas is in a huge letdown spot, playing its final game of the year on the road after losing a heartbreaking home finale last week to Texas in which the head coach melted down and claimed the refs jobbed him because of Texas' shot at a BCS bowl.
2* Hawaii -21
I know......Hawaii is playing truly awful giving up 190 points in their last three road games! But this one is at home and teams that have been humiliated love to take their frustration out on poorer teams when they get the chance. They face an Idaho team that is ending its year with a vacation after playing North Texas tough last week and fading. June Jones is feeling pressure and Timmy Chang wants one of those 500 yard passing games. This has all the makings of an annihilation.
1* Northwestern -12
Simple analysis here. Northwestern's an okay team and Illinois stinks. Illinois is off a bye and Turner needs a win to have a prayer of saving his job but Northwestern can still get bowl eligible with a win here and another next week versus Hawaii.
1* Michigan State -3 1/2
There's a lot of bad analysis on this game---Penn State will play with pride for Paterno in final game, etc. Bottom line is Michigan State has come on strong in the second half of the season and can still get a decent bowl with a win. Penn State has no offense and a fossil as coach. Michigan State won't score 49 like last week against Wisconsin, but they shouldn't need more than 24 to get the cover here.
1*Clemson -3
Big rivalry game and I'll take the home team. Clemson has really come on in the last few weeks, beating Maryland, NC State and Miami before losing LW to Duke in a letdown. Clemson needs win to become bowl eligible. SC has basically sucked the last few weeks, its starting QB is done for the year and the Spurrier news is certain to be a distraction for the players.
1* Purdue -20
Purdue got back on track last week after four losses in row. Orton is healthy again. Indiana, on the other hand, lost its home finale to Penn State and lost to Illinois the week before that. In short, they're done.
