Another Saturday, Another 12 Hours of CFL

What a day, as is most every weekend day in the month of October. Today we have a full CFL slate plus two NLDS playoff games. Uhn Ga!

Unpickable Master Locks:

Purdue @ Minnesota - Line is Minnesota -3 - We've been on the Golden Gophers all season long. They get to play another important Big 10 battle on national TV. They have the benefit of playing at home in their new outdoor stadium, which has proven to offer a significant home field advantage. But most importantly, they have one of the best, relatively unknown players in college football. Eric Decker is a stud who just makes huge plays. Purdue is not very good and this line could be considerably larger. We'll take Minnesota -3. LOCK IT UP

Houston @ Mississippi State - Line is Mississippi St -3 - Wow did the Houston bandwagon drive right into a brick wall last week. The team dropped from #12 in the country to right out of the top 25 after a dismal performance against UTEP. We're not arguing the Cougars should be a ranked team but they still have a nearly unstoppable offense that presents significant match up problems for all opponents. They will always score points. The defense pretty much stinks but most teams don't do everything well. Mississippi State is not a very good team and we think they are catching Houston at the wrong time. Instead of packing the season in, we think Houston is going to respond impressively today. The pick is Houston +3. LOCK IT UP

Alabama @ Mississippi - Line is Alabama -4.5 - This line confuses us and that makes us feel a bit uneasy. Based on what these teams have done so far this year, shouldn't this line be more like -9 or -10? I understand that this is a game that is almost always a close battle but these two specific teams with these players have not played yet. Bama looks really, really good with very little in the way of weakness. Ole Miss continues to like on pre-season hype without having to earn any credibility on the field. Ole Miss; QB can't protect the ball and that will be a killer against Bama. Take Alabama -4.5 as they will roll in this one. LOCK IT UP
