looking at **toledo-7(-130).....my guess is that if the over isn`t in the 60`s(opened at 61...worth a play) it might be worth a look....a mediocre(for maryland)maryland offense with a shaky qb put up 40+ on this temple bunch...toledo could use some home cooking,imo after 3 roadies in a row....the over might be a better play.. but,toledo is usually a strong home club...a get well game for a club that has horribly underachieved....
**vandy+10(-130 at pinny)....i hate buying a pt ,but i`m gonna...vandy has a revenge motive after getting beat last year at home by the middies as 4.5 favorites.....the middies ran for around 500 yards......but, i liked the way they played on the road vs ole miss last week.....as a matter of fact,i like vandy`s road focus better than i like them at home....navy has one of the best coaches in the country in paul johnson..he and vandy coach bobby johnson have met 8 times(7 in the southern conference)...both run alot of option and are familiar with one another... ..i think i`m getting a feel for navy and i see this as a dogfight between familiar coaches and familiar schemes... even though navy has a strong home favorite spread record, i like them better on the road than as a home favorite.... after winning with them in week one and 2,i think 10 might be a tad generous here...
**san diego st-13(-120)...hopefully they won`t be to beat up after michigan...this is an excellent ballclub with a very strong defense..top 10 statistical defense ,maybe.....a legit contender for the mtn west...q.b. was a ? but the passing game clicked for almost 300 yds vs michigan... nevada will have a wide open offense but my guess is they`ll struggle vs this defense..saw moats and lou tech dominate nevada...and i think san diego st is a better club than lou tech...
