What has UCF done to be an 8 point favorite in this one. Is it because the game is in St. Petersburg? They are only 2-2 in bowl games and are coming off a frustrating loss to Tulsa.
Ball St is winners of 6 straight and I love picking teams that have momentum coming into the game.
Ball St +8 is the pick and possible ML. |

#4 Posted: 12/4/2012 3:41:41 PM Interesting.........according to Sagarin, CUSA is the lowest rated 1-A conference this year......in fact it's rated lower than the 1-AA Missouri Valley conference.
But to be fair.........neither the MAC or CUSA has defeated a top 30 team this year. Then again, neither has the Big East, Mountain West or Sun Belt. |

Ole Miss -3...For 3 reasons:
1. Pitts third straight year in game so they probably don't even care to play or get prepared.
2. Pitts coach is going to leave for Wisconsin.
3. Ole Miss is a better team. |

UCF and Tulsa are about 2 TDs better than the rest of the CUSA, which was horrendous.
My numbers would make UCF a 10 point favorite, and Ole Miss a 4 point favorite |

UGA +10 may be a lock.
Anyone else have some "locks" |

terrible for awhile...but .4-1 SU / 3-2 ATS.....LY
last 6 years 8-18 SU / 10-16 ATS > tied with Big 12 for worst ATS....
MTW and SEC the best.....along with service acad.....Big East not bad
