Games are looking good on Thursday so far but want to get the rest of the games for the week out so that those may get a favorable line.
Kojak Killers:
Georgia Tech +14 - G. Tech got caught looking ahead to this game 2 weeks ago at Chapel Hill but will be focused in this one. Miami is very overrated and will struggle to contain Ball. This will be a very physical game and points may be at a premium. Jackets are definitely live here but Miami will get late field goal to win in Atlanta.
Miami 22 Georgia Tech 21
NC State -10.5 - Wolfpack are under the radar especailly after loss to Ohio State. Their calling card this year is defense as it has been suffocating. Wake had their glory last week but Wolves are and will be sky high coming off win at Va Tech.
NC State 31 Wake Forest 13
Purdue -2.5 (got at Pk earlier this week and -1) - Boilers have not won at South Bend since 1974. This is the year. Boilers were flat at Illini coming off of bye week. This is a watermark game for Joe Tiller. His teams have accomplished a lot but this is the next step. With a win here, Purdue will legitimize their quest to crash BCS and National Title Picture. Boilers show up BIG TIME in South Bend.
Purdue 35 Notre Dame 20
Stanford -12.5 - Stanford will gain confidence instead of losing it after near win lw over Trojans. Huskies will hit rock bottom this year as the worst Pac 10 has to offer. Stanford rolls it up at home.
Stanford 49 Washington 17
Missouri -7 (got some at 5.5) - Missouri will be looking for payback here for years of near losses to Buffaloes. Tigers are nearly unbeatable with this group in Columbia. Smith and Nash will run roughshod and Smith will even throw a few to showcase improved passing game.
Missouri 41 Colorado 21
Upset Specials:
Michigan St. +7.5 - We still don't know too much about MSU but I know they are capable of winning in Iowa City. Difference in this game will be Spartans special teams which will provide the short field this offense will need. Spartans win su.
Michigan State 27 Iowa 24
Arkansas +7.5 - Key to this game will be Hogs ability to stop the run. They did reasonably well with the two headed running game last week from Bama. I feel that it has prepared them well for Faison. Jones is a very underrated quarterback and has a knack of pulling games out. I look for a close game but Hogs get it done in the Swamp.
Arkansas 17 Florida 14
Northwestern +11 - Yes Cats have not looked good stopping ASU and Minnesota but Ohio State offense is not half as good as both of those offenses. Cats play well at home and have enough offense to keep it close. Difference in this game will be 12th man as Ohio State finally will lose a close one on the road.
Northwestern 20 Ohio State 16
Auburn +2.5 - Tigers are for real. This is their springboard game to winning the Sec and contending for the National Title one year after predicted. The diffference in this game is the youth of Tennessee at quarterback as I expect turnovers to play a big role. If this game is close Tennessee has a big edge in kicking game but I don't think kickers will play a role in this one.
Auburn 24 Tennessee 10
Rest of the Card:
Utah -10 (also got at 9.5)
Army +20
Syracuse -6
Northern Illinois -16
Memphis -13.5
Texas Tech +27
Minnesota -14.5
Cincinnati -1
Boise St. -37
Texas A&M -4
Eastern Michigan -7
Best of luck to all!
