We've got a head cold that is impacting our ability to write long, flowing prose but having no negative impact on selecting winners from the realm of college football. That means we're going with some quick hitters for tomorrow's Big Man on Campus action. Enjoy:
Five Star Special:
West Virginia -13.5 vs. Syracuse - The Mountaineers own the Cuse, especially in Morgantown. WVU has an imposing defense and can run the ball. The Cuse is in a world of trouble. If they played this game earlier in the year (pre-mini Cuse run over bad teams), the line would be closer to 24. West Virginia will put a beating on the Orange. LOCK IT UP
Four Star Specials:
Nebraska -6 @ Oklahoma St - A home dog we can stay away from. The Cowboys have an impressive offense and are undefeated. However, their defense is suspect (more than 27 points per game). They have yet to face a defense like Nebraska's - in fact they don't have any impressive wins yet this year. The Cornhuskers are going to be looking to exact major revenge for last week's loss. Look out OSU. Huskers roll big. LOCK IT UP
TCU -18 vs. Air Force - Since we don't have Boise State this week to scream "Theorem" about, we're going to lend the theorem to TCU. They need style points via blowouts as well. The poor military plane flyers come to town and get Private Piled. Take TCU and give the points. This won't be close. LOCK IT UP
Three Star Specials:
Iowa -6.5 vs. Wisconsin - You know we love the Hawkeyes but this is a tough number to swallow. Fresh off knocking off #1, the Badgers are getting almost a TD. We can't turn our backs on Iowa now and this could have the makings a minor letdown for Wisconsin. Iowa will be top 5 by bowl season. LOCK IT UP
Louisville -3 vs. Connecticut - UConn just kicked their starting QB off the team. Starting a redshirt freshman tomorrow. Louisville is pretty solid and at home. The Huskies are a disaster in so many ways. LOCK IT UP
Michigan State -6 @ Northwestern - We're finally flipping our perspective on Northwestern. They were magical at busting the spread last year. This year, they've burned us one too many times. Plus, the Spartans are playing some of the best football in the country. Going on the road in the Big 10 is never easy, but we like MSU to cover. LOCK IT UP
Two Star Specials:
Missouri +3 vs. Oklahoma - Can't stay away from the home dog in a nationally televised night game. This is the biggest football game at Missouri in years and years and years. The crowd is going to be in a frenzy and the Sooners are not worthy of their current ranking. Missou wins this one outright. LOCK IT UP
Auburn -6 vs. LSU - This is a carbon copy of the Iowa game for us. We've been pumping Auburn all year and can't stop now, even if the spread scares us a bit. The magic for the maniacal Les Miles has to end at some point. Plus, LSU just can't score. Home field is going to be huge here but not as huge as Auburn's huge QB. The Tigers (the ones from Auburn) make a statement with this win and firmly entrench themselves in the BCS discussion. The other Tigers slink home to the swamp wondering how they got this far with George Jefferson at QB, LOCK IT UP
North Carolina +6.5 @ Miami - UNC is coming around after a disastrous start to the season. Miami is way too up and down to command this line against a streaking team. LOCK IT UP
One Star Special:
Washington +6.5 @ Arizona - Zona just lost starting QB Nick Foles for this game. He's been a huge force in their early season success. There is going to be some fall off to their backup. Washington is up and down and frustrating. But they're talented too with one of the premier QBs in the West. This is just too many points. Who knows who wins but we know its close. Take the points. LOCK IT UP
