Norm's Late Thoughts
I know that 32 1/2 points is a HUGE amount to lay on the road, but for the life of me I can't figure out how Temple stays anywhere close to Louisville. Temple couldn't stop the freshman QB from IDAHO from moving his team last week. How will they slow down Heisman front-runner Teddy Bridgewater? The only drawback is the possibility the Cardinals come out flat and don't care. But they can hardly afford that if they hope to be undefeated and sneak into the backdoor of the BCS title game.

Saturday NCAA Comp Pick
Rice +3 over Tulsa
We have picked on Tulsa all year and have cashed in betting against them. This defense is young and not very good and their quarterback is going through a rough patch. This game comes down to running and defense. Rice has a great rushing offense and Tulsa can’t stop anything. Tulsa has yet to really get their running games going and the Rice Defense is pretty good. Tulsa is turning the ball over at an alarming rate, are struggling with injury at wide receiver and just have too many issues to fix this season. Take Rice.
