Memphis returns most of their offensive line from last year and will try and establish the run --- just as MS State will do. The clock is going to play a lot shorter in this game. Plus, you'll even have a chance of a backdoor cover with Memphis as State plays Auburn next Thursday and will likely sit out starters for rest late in the game if a blowout. State on 4th DC in 4 seasons --- will be getting adjusted to new system in place. State has been a home favorite 7 times since 2004 and has not covered one of them.
Purdue +11
New coaches are 42% ATS in their debuts. With Marve at QB and a solid core of WRs at Purdue, they should be able to put some points on the board. Rebuilt system in South Bend will take time. Like Purdue and the points.
TCU -13.5
Every year Oregon St. seems to struggle early under Riley In September on the road, they are 1-10 ATS during his tenure. TCU, however, is 15-5 ATS their last 20 games as a favorite under Patterson. Teams with 17 or more wins out of their last 22 games, who were a bowl favorite of 7 or more the previous year and lost that game, and are a favorite in their opener the next seasons --- have not failed to cover a spread 11-0. TCU averaged 38 points on offense last year --- and returns most of those starters.
Clemson -27
This line has moved quite a bit --- the play isn't as strong as it once was. But, Clemson is one of the few major BCS programs not looking ahead to a tough opponent next week. North Texas will struggle offensively, especially on the line and behind center. Clemson has played a Sun Belt opponent 5 times and won by 23 or more each game. North Texas is 1-16 ATS as underdog of 21 or more. The only time they covered was a game they were favored by 41 and lost by 39.
Missouri -12
May want to wait until gametime to play this game because the line is moving in the wrong direction. Pinkel has won and covered all 5 games against Illinois in his tenure. These two programs are headed in different directions --- Pinkel is one of the more underrated coaches in college football and Ron Zook will be squarely on the hot seat this season.
Northwestern -4
In Vanderbilt's last 20 games, they have scored 16 points only 3 times. After showing their offensive prowess in last year's bowl game, you need to be able to score in order to beat Northwestern. Northwestern is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games on the road.
Arkansas St. +31
Auburn will be looking ahead to next Thursday's game against MS State. They won't want a late injury when they are up 4 TDs. Arkansas St. has finished 1st or 2nd in total defense in the Sun Belt for the past 4 seasons --- that kind of consistency speaks volumes for the system in place. Last season, they lost by 3 to Iowa. In 2008, they beat TX A&M. In 2007, they took Texas to wire. Take the Red Wolves and the points.

I like that you wrote some shit about the game. That's awesome It's hard to tell why someone likes a team when they don't say anything about the game. Coloring in the team name in the team colors only tells you so much.
