Indiana -7 @ Bowling Green (2)
This line moved so quick it was unbelievable. One minute IU were +3 and now all the way up to -7. That's a 10 point swing. I have them winning by 10 to 14 so I'm betting them for 2 units. IU beat ISU in what I call more of a friendly game two weeks ago. I mean IU only had 111 passing yards on 11-18 and no td's. All they did was run the football for a record on the ground in yards. They are 5th in the country with returning offensive linemen with starts at 130. They had two rb's Coleman 23 carries and 247 yards and Roberts 24-129 yards. A slew of others picked up yards. Coach had a bye week already and spent quite a bit of time on timing for the passing game that they will leash out this week. Bowling Green D only returns 5 starters who gave up 42 points last year in a 42-10 loss at IU. They gave up 59 to WK. I'm pretty confident that IU can hang 40+ on them with their starting qb and 7 other starters back on offense along with 9 returning defenders IU is a solid play imhop. BG with a QB making only his 2nd start. He did okay last week in his first start against VMI. Other qb was hurt in the WK game.

Illinois @ Washington -13 1/2 (2)
Both teams off to a 2-0 start this young season. Illinois had to come from behind last week to beat WK and I have to admit I felt very fortunate to get the cover. This week they hit the road for the first time in what will definitely be their stiffest test to date. They won't get away with 7 fumbles and a interception in this hostile environment. Wash with a 17-16 w at Hawaii and then returned home last week in shootout with E Wash 59-52. Also against the Illinois is Wash can pound the ball on the ground racking up 356 last week on the ground. Illinois are giving up 153 per game with Youngstown St and WK both passing a lot. Wash had a little Hawaii hangover and I expect it will be cured in time for this game.

Ohio @ Marshall -20 1/2 (2)
Ohio riding a 3 game winning streak in this big rivalry including last years 34-31 win at home. Marshall had 4 big turnovers in that game. This storied rivalry has gone on for 109 years In "The Battle for the Bell". After this game the series will take a break for 4 years. Marshall wants that thing back and they want it back with authority. This sis a very strong Marshall offense led by the 4 year starter Cato who is aided by a pair of talented RB's. Ohio has scored 17 and 3 points this season and their going to have to score at least 21 to have a chance at covering this game. Marshall is one of the toughest places to play a football game with a rich tradition and a very high winning %.
Ohio is 1-4 on the road last 5 ats. Ohio is 2-5 ats last 7 at Marshall. Marshall is 6-0-1 last 7 home games. I hate to give it up so many but going to estimate a 45-17 score.

Cuse @ CM +7 (1)
A live home dog imo. This team finished 6-6 last year winning its last 3 games and its first 2 games this season. Coach Enos and the team were quite displeased with being snubbed for a bowl game. The goal this year of course is to win more games and take the conf. They have a home and away with Cuse as they go to Cuse next year. A win this year over Cuse would help the cause tremendously. CM are 2-0 with a nice road win last week at Purdue 38-17. Game never was close. I watched the first half because I was curious about both teams. I obviously went away very impressed with this veteran team. They have one heck of a RB in Rawls. The dude is powerful and just runs over people. 56-276 yards for a 4.9 average A very smart experienced qb who mad every good decisions throughout the game. A defense that already has 6 interceptions as the secondary is one of the best. I don't know that much about Cuse so keeping the game a 1 unit play. I do know Cuse has Maryland on deck and is coming off a bye week so they should be fresh. They won their opener over the Wildcats but that's not saying a whole lot (17-16).

NMS @ UTEP -11 (1)
NMS 2-0 and 2-0 ats. WHAT Are they for real. I'm going to find out s UTEP owns them at home winning 8 out of the last 9 games at home in this series. Could be some points put up in this one, but the home team hopefully pulls away for me. Simply a fade play.

Got any thoughts on Florida v KY, or Louisville v Virginia? I'm on KY and Louisville. I've seen a new Kentucky team and it looks like Mark Stoops recruiting may be showing up on the field. Bobby P can put points on anyone seems like, and I think Virginia is a little overvalued because they hung with UCLA and then beat up on Richmond last week.
I skipped right over the Florida game. I had bet them in week 1 and the game was never played. I had them marked to play in week 2 and backed out on what would have been a winner. That's a lot of points and not so sure about Kentucky offense against a much improved Florida D. Louisville looks like a decent play. They are one of 14 teams left on my leans list. Definitely well coached with some very talented players. I'm been trying to narrow the list down all week but it's hard.
Good luck with your plays and stick to your instincts.
