Central Michigan +2 ($500)....CMU is the better team. IU is coming off an upset win over Northwestern (Cats were banged up) and as a result are favored here. IU will not be able to stop CMU offense but CMU will get enough stops to win this game by a td or more.
Army +8 ($300)....Air Force has been inconsistent. Army has shown signs of improvement of late. I think they are live dog in this game but no doubt in my mind they will cover. Gametime is a big edge as well for Army.
Iowa +3 (bought .5 pt) ($500)....Illinois has not beaten Iowa with Zook as head coach. This Illini team is up and down. The only thing I have figured out is they are a bad favorite but good in dog role. Unfortunately they are favorite here. They will struggle stopping Iowa running game which will control clock keeping Juice and Benn off the field. I think Iowa wins this game su.
South Carolina -5.5 ($300)...With a win, USC goes bowling. This Tennessee team has been awful no matter who they have played. I look for Spurrier team to have their way on both sides of the ball.
Tulsa/Arkansas over 76.5 ($1000)....I see a high scoring game in this one. Tulsa will have their way with Arkansas defense but will not be able to stop Arkansas running game who will also score at will in a shootout. I have this game at 86 so getting almost 10 pts of value.
Florida -6.5 ($1000)....Gators have not forgotten last year. Both teams come into this game on rolls but I really like the way the Heisman Tebow is playing. They will limit Moreno in this game and force Stafford to beat them. Stafford has not been as good as advertised. Gators get revenge in big way!
Tulane +26.5 ($300)....LSU's defense has been nothing short of embarrassing of late. Hatch is out which is a problem with all of turnovers from Lee. LSU won't lose here but it won't be the blowout many anticipate as backdoor will be open and may not even be needed then.
Texas Tech/Texas under 75 ($500).....There will be offense in this one but not as much as experts predict. Both teams will play enough defense to keep this game in the thirties, not the 40's.
Oregon +3 ($500)...This Oregon team despite injuries has hung together and is the second best in Pac 10. I expect them to get after Cal. forcing turnovers that lead to the short field in this game. Cal has not proven they can beat a good opponent since Michigan State and they are middle of the road Big 10. Oregon wins su.
Texas Tech +3.5 ($1000).....Texas is the better team imo but I feel this is a great spot for TT. Texas having played 3 straight Top teams, and with this game a 4th can't possibly keep up the intensity. Harrell is playing as well as McCoy and feel he may even have more weapons. TT defense is also underrated. This will be a tight game but TT with the homefield will win this game su.

Kojak,
There were a few "Where the hell is Kojak" threads the last few weeks! Glad you're back.
I like your card. I'm on South Carolina as well.
Here's my card so far (thoughts?):
- Buffalo +2 (win)
- Stanford -30 (I'm fading Wazzou until the trend ends)
- Oklahoma -21.5
- Kentucky +2.5
- South Carolina -5.5
I'll likely add 2-3 more games before Saturday.....
Good luck.
- CB
(Here I go again!)....
