38-30 YTD

Having a tough time getting rolling thus far but I'm gonna keep on plugging  and try to get this thing on track. Will be out of pocket once again tommorrow and will miss some good football games but the deer woods are calling and I gotta go.

NORTHWESTERN +7 (hook)

I realize this is a popular upset pick but I do think the Cats can hang in here and especially hang in and stay inside the TD. This will be a tough road test for Sparty as they have played 4 of their last 5 at home. Michigan St struggled to run the football last week and if they can't get their running game on track here they will lose this one straight up. While Northwestern is always worth a look as an underdog, they are certainly worth a look as a dog when playing State. The dog in this series has covered 7 of the last 8 and with two weeks to get ready, I think we have a live dog in this one. 

IOWA -6

Wisky was on top of the world with the huge win over #1 last week and my how the tide will turn here. This is Wisky's 2nd true road test this season and I think they'll struggle, just like they did in their first one. Iowa has covered 3 straight and their defense has been stout giving up an avaerage of 10ppg over those three.Tons of numbers to back the Hawks as they have covered 5 of the last 6 conference games at home in this price range and 6 of their last 8 conference games overall.When playing against Wisky it gets even better as they have covered 7 of the last 8 against them. I think this one could get ugly before its all done and take my chances that Wisky drank a little to much after last week's great performance and still has a bit of a hangover.

NEBRASKA -6

Lets see, I have a #13th ranked team with 1 loss going on the road to a # 15 ranked undefeated team and are laying a TD.  Hmmmm. Although I am a bit skeptical, I'll side with Big Red to slow down OSU's offense just enough to get me the W. Big Red got ambushed last week by a rested Texas squad and should be completely focused for this one.When I get into the nuts and bolts of this one I think its Big Reds defense that is the difference. They have the ability to shut down OSU while OSU has no shot at shutting down Martinez.This will be by far the best defense OSU has seen all season and it should show on the scoreboard. Like I stated earlier I am a bit skeptical as OSU has coverd 5 of 6 in this series and are at home where they play really well.

GEORGIA -4

Strange line to me in this one, but the experts know more than I do and I'll side with them. Kentucky has just played Auburn and South Carolina, covering both and beating SCarolina straight up. Georgia on the other hand has been struggling on the road losing 3 straight games going 0-3 ats. Yet the experts have them favored by 4 points. They must be thinking Georgia's explosion last week against Vandy and the week before against Tennessee will get them going. I'll agree with that notion, lay the points and hope they are right.

SOONERS - 2 1/2 (hook)

Everyone says OU has struggled on the road but they've only played one on the rd this yr. Yep they only won by 2 over Cincy but had that game in hand from the start..Boomers are 20-1 straight up in the last 21 games against the Tigers and as I looked over Missori's schedule I found zero quality wins this year. I don't want to get into any arguements but A&M is the closest thing to a quality win that I'd conceed. Now I will admit OU isn't the same on the road as they are at home, but that may be Ok as I see Missou has covered just 4 of the last 15 at home. Missouri isn't that far up I 44 and I think the Sooner faithfuls will travel well. One thing I do know, we gonna find out if OU is a legitamite #1 team or not as the Big 12 road is a tough place to get a W. 

Bol Fellas.

like your thoughts on georgia...line seems weird to me, cant pull trigger yet, but do love GA.

GL looks great
