Great start to college season and hopefully it continues this week.

$2000 Penn State -9.5.....This is a great spot here for Penn State. They face an undefeated Iowa team who is not as good as their record suggests. Penn State has played 3 straight cupcakes and won by an average of over 3 tds per game. I believe this number is low because Iowa has played better last 2 games (vs ISU and Arizona) but it is a major payback game for Lions as Hawkeyes beat them on late fg ly to knock them out of National Championship Game. With no running game really to speak of, Hawkeyes are going to have a difficult time controlling the ball at Penn State. I look for an inspired Penn State team to roll in this game.

$200 Northwestern -2......Northwestern plays an improved Minnesota team. Kafka has been playing well at qb for Wildcats. Difference in this game is Minnesota having no answer for Wildcats pass rush specifically Wooten.

$500 Michigan State +3.....Spartans are better than their 1-2 record while Badgers are one of the worst undefeated teams out there. Spartans have had recent success vs Badgers to boot. I believe MSU is better team on both sides of the ball and go into Madison and win this game su.

$200 Georgia Tech -2.5....UNC struggled when they went on the road to UConn only to pull out an inprobable victory late. GT ran into a buzzsaw at Miami lw. Jackets are a solid football team who will bounce back here in a defensive slugfest.

$200 Houston -1.5....Cougars are for real having dismantled Ok. State in Stillwater. TT is untested so far and looked ok vs Texas lw. If Oklahoma State was playing TT at home this spread would likely be a td. Cougars put up some points in this one to win by 7-10 points. This is one of my sleepers to crash the BCS this season.

$500 Arkansas +17.....Great spot here for Hogs who have had success vs Crimson Tide recently. This is an inflated number after Alabama ran it up on North Texas. Arkansas can score with Tide as proven lw with Georgia. Look for a more traditional SEC game that Alabama struggles to even sniff 17 point lead all day.

$200 Maryland +2.5.....This imo is another overreaction line from MTSU win over Maryland. Rutgers has not exactly played well enough to be favored here imo with young qb going on the road. Maryland under Friedgen has shown great resolve in bouncing back after bad losses and feel they will do it here. Anybody remember Cal game ly?

$200 Bowling Green +17.....I may upgrade this game later in the week but really feel BG is better than this. Boise State has rolled vs overrated Oregon and Fresno St who is not as good this year. BG played a great game at Mizzou and should have won su. They will keep it under the number here and I feel have a great shot as a live dog.

$500 Cincinnati -16.5.....Cincinnati and Pike is proving to me they are the read deal again this year in the Big East. This Fresno State team is not as good as the past but offensively they are decent. Love the fact California team is playing early game here at Cinci to boot. Look for Cinci to roll up impressive win in this one.

Final Card:

$2000
Penn State -9.5

$500
Cincinnati -16.5
Arkansas +17
Michigan State +3

$200
Houston -1.5
Bowling Green +17
Maryland +2.5
Georgia Tech -2.5
Northwestern -2

I agree ... Penn St should cover this one. I like Penn St by around 17 points.

Guys keep unloading on Penn St. so I can unload on Iowa. Iowa is the better team here. People are amazed with Penn St....they haven't covered this year. Redemption means nothing after the first series. Iowa has the better offensive and defensive lines. Iowa has the better defense, punter, and kicking game which will keep them in this game. Iowa isn't afraid to play in Happy Valley...6 out of 7 since 2000 have went the Hawk's way. Stanzi will be able to pass against this weak secondary as well. Iowa 24-17.

I see we are against each other on a few games but hard to be beating me up right now when I am 21-9 while you are 9-12-1. I hope your season turns around soon buddy but I would be asking more as to why someone is on a game the opposite of what you are on at this point. That is what smart gamblers do. Just some advice. BOL the rest of the season.

I havent been able to figure out penn state yet this year. It does seem that joe p has kept this team conservative. Almost as if he has waited for this game to pull out all the stops. Like he wanted to get to this game without injuries so he could put a beat down on iowa. I will wait to see where the number ends up on this one. Probably be 11 or so by game time. At 11 i would have to lean on iowa myself. Otherwise it is a pass. Like your card bol to you my friend

Not quite sure about the Hawkeye win, but they will cover this 10 points.
There is not a team from the middle to the top of the Big 10 that is 10 points better than the other teams. That includes the Ohio State Suckeyes.

Fwiw

***Paterno is 0-14 ATS (-15.4 Units) vs. incredible defensive teams who give up 12 or less points/game as the coach of PENN ST.***

The average score was PENN ST 17.9, OPPONENT 28.9 - (Rating = 7*)

You do know Iowa is giving up 4.6 yards per carry right? Not exactly an incredible defensive team more like a team that is really missing their two DT's that anchored last year's D. Let's see how the Iowa D does against a good QB as oppposed to the below average one's they have faced so far. I liked Iowa at first glance but not after really looking into the game.
