Tulsa will not be anything close to the polished machine they were at the end of last year. |

Why do you think Rudolph came back for another year? So he could kick Tulsa's butt in this game. Blowout city: OSU -20.5 if it gets that high. |

Buffalo faced the most rushing attempts of any team in the nation last year. The only thing in place for Minnesota is its rushing attack, and they should be able to move the ball running against Buffalo. This is a very tough spread to pick because we don't know what the Gophers can do on defense. I tend to favor the underdog to stay in this one. I think Minnesota is over rated and will sputter out of the gates especially on defense. If Buffalo can move the chains at all, and I expect they will, then they will cover. |

OSU is badly over rated. They have shown no power on offense the last three games, and they have a new O line. Indiana has a defense first mentality now. I'll take IU +21 and the U58 in this one. Note: This is the first Big10 conference game ever played on a Thursday in August. Normally, when OSU travels to Bloomington, they bring 30k fans. There are still tickets available from the box office. I think it's going to be an OSU crowd in Bloomington. Road trip! |

Covers free play on Utah is about the least convincing argument I've ever read. It contains nothing relevant to this year or about these teams. I like Chalkman's thinking, and I know that many football people respect the level of play in the PAC 12. So I guess Utah ML. |

Appalachian St -11 Arkansas St. has had many experiences this year. They experienced being blown out at Toledo, which is a relevent comparison to App St. Lately they've put up alot of points against bad teams. Can they keep scoring against a better defense? I don't believe so. Ark St. 20 -- App St. 44 |

Bowling Green 45 -- Ohio 35 Yes, Ohio has players left. Great football weather. In the first quarter, the refs will hamstring the BG falcons, and they will go down 13 - 0 before the refs let them start making plays. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bowling Green will take the lead--and then they will add on 2 moreTDs with some garbage thrown in. |

Kentucky +8 UNDER
Its gonna rain. Tennessee has some kids out for suspension. |

Temple +10.5 If Virginia can play neck and neck with ND at home, then so can Temple. Temple is going to play close with most teams on any field. Playing at home in one of the most high profile games in the program's history, a Temple upset is not out of the question. |

Iowa -17 Iowa is nasty, and while I understand the comparison to Penn St. I just don't think Maryland will be able to compete physically. It's gonna be a blow out. Iowa 45 -- Maryland 7 |

Clemson -10 Geez they just beat Miami 58-0 on the road. NC State is just not good enough to play a close game with Clemson. |

Auburn +7.5 (ml) Auburn's had a tough time but they are rounding into form. I believe they are Ole Miss cryptonite. They know they are supposed to beat Ole Miss and Ole Miss knows they are supposed to get beat. Ole Miss has already proven they are capable of laying an egg on the road. To me it seems like Auburn is do to play its best football and Ole Miss is not going to bring its A game. |

Purdue +10.5 UNDER (weather watch) In good weather Nebraska would dominate a Purdue defense that's weak at linebacker and safety. But the weather here is gonna be cold windy rainy. If the weather limits the passing game, this game could have a really low total, and Nebraska won't cover. Its only Thursday so watch the weather. Nebraska 14 -- Purdue 7 (in the cold driven rain) |

Pittsburg ML
Both teams have played great but I think Pitt has a more complete team. Pitt D will show up huge. Pitt 28 -- UNC 20 |

I wouldn't move the line an inch. Watching high school football instead. Memphis should cover but why should they care?

Georgia Southern +6 (No action on Total)
I watched GSO play Western Michigan early this year as a 4 point home dog--they kicked butt. I couldn't believe how athletic they were at RB and how well they played on defense. I haven't watched App ST play, but if they are not ready to stop the triple option, they are not going to win. Also I don't like the over any total here. These triple option teams can run a lot of clock when they want to. GSO held WMU to a very low number of points (a very powerful offense). Even though both teams have run up big point totals against lesser foes, against each other they will NOT play a shootout. GSU 31 -- App St 24 |

UCLA -3
The home team usually wins this matchup and the game is usually not close. Having 10 days off after a road blowout at Stanford, UCLA should come out and play well at home, in a Saturday night game. Cal has played well on the road, only losing to Utah by 6 points, but UCLA is the most up and down team in college football. When they play bad they will lose to almost anyone, but when they play well they will beat almost anyone. UCLA has a very talented team and the blowout loss at Stanford misrepresents the type of football they are capable of playing.
