As mentioned, THREE starting OL for WKU hit the portal. That's tough to replace in a short amount of time and keep the plays running with the same efficacy. |

I saw Ok St buses roll into town last evening. Today, we have got at least 2 inches of rain, but KS is turf. Temp is only 70 and rain is lingering. This might be just a dreadful night to play football.
I'm looking for a lethargic start to the game, looking at the 1H under. GLTA. |

as for CMU... Rawls ran for 270 yds at NIU on 40 carries, CMU dominated ToP 39 to 21, and after an opening TD by NIU, the Chips outscored the Huskies 31 to 7 where NIU's lone score was on an 18 yard 'drive' after a TO. vs Ball State, CMU outgained them 426 to 287 and lost on a late 55 yard FG with 17 seconds left. This despite CMU having 5 turnovers to BSU's 1 and committing 10 penalties for another 91 yds to Ball State's 4 for 25. Rawls was 'held' to 167 on 32 carries. In summary, CMU gave the game away and could have won by 4 TD's had they been relatively error free. Ball State has had a fairly tough schedule, and only managed to lose at Iowa by 4 in game #2, although that game was similar to the CMU one, in that Iowa missed 3 FG's, gave BSU 10 pts and outgained them 455 to 219. Northern otoh has had an easier schedule and thus is 6-2. No common opponents. NIU recently beat Kent at home 17-14. Kent has 1 win, at home vs Army 39-17. Ball State lost at Army 33-24 and was down 27-10 going into the 4th. This game is hard to figure based on all that, I think it will come down to the more motivated team. Looking at the Schedule, NIU has MAC West leader Toledo (5-0) at home next week, a game they need to win, along with this one, to have a chance to win the West. Ball State could put together a 5 game winning streak if they can get this game as the next 2 after look very winnable. That would set up a final week showdown at Bowling Green. If I had to pick, I'd take BSU on the ML and the Under, but this game might be best to wait and watch the 1st H to get a better feel, then bet on the halftime spread. |

Keep in mind that CMU has not played for 17 days and they will not play again for another 10 days, so 1 game in 26 days. Strangest in-season scheduling quirk I've ever seen.

1st Big 10 team to play at Kelly Shorts in the stadium's history, this place will be a zoo. The line was 24 and has dropped to 20. This is not a good CMU team, but they are capable of playing well in stretches. I think MSU will make big plays on defense and special teams in this one. I'll take MSU -20 here.

Not a homer, you just were factually incorrect. Toledo slaughters a bad CMU team, not sure about the over. There will be no one at this game either, unless Toledo travels well, then it will be like a home game for them. |

"bsolutely no one plays defense in the MAC so go with the over and sit back and watch the ugly carnage" Or Temple does, giving up less than 14 pts per game thru 10 this year with 2 shutous. |

"Crowd should be decent for the 1st Half, and then fade regardless of the score."
Well, I couldn't have been more wrong on that call, there is NO ONE in the stands! Thanks Heeke (AD) for allowing the BS new tailgaiting rules that has pretty much killed the football program along with not paying Butch and hiring a nobody in enos. Embarrassing attendance. |

Tough call, chips have 2 games left, both at home. The latter will be a loss vs Toledo, so this is it for them winning another game this year. Crowd should be decent for the 1st Half, and then fade regardless of the score. The snow earlier today was more like a mix of rain and snow, visibility was fine. It all rests on Radcliffe, when he plays well, CMU can hang around with teams, when he doesn't, they get drilled. I'm gonna gamble he plays well and the team plays hard trying to get this last victory for the seniors. CMU +7. |

I like Kent here, late action is coming their way as well. Radcliffe for CMU is so inconsistent. If he plays well and CMU gets big plays on O like the N. Ill game, the win, but I just can't bank on that.

This is a tough game to cap. Marshall won @L'ville and yet lost a few weeks earlier to Ohio 44-7. I believe this is Tr Fr QB Nova's 1st road game as a starter? That may have a lot to do with this line.

Line has fallen from 13 to 10.5. I know NC ST is bad, but so is CMU. The chips managed to put a lot of points on the board vs N. ILL with at least 4 plays of over 40 yds for scores iirc. Small Wolfpack lean as this line means NC St is only -3.5 at Kelly Shorts. |

Choad: "notre dame owned them too until the last 2 minutes and change..." Michigan gained 322 yards on the last 20 plays of the game, or 16.1 ypp, spanning 5 drives, but according to you, that happened in the last 2 mins in change?! Meanwhile ND had a near 400 to 100 total yd advantage earlier in the game, only to finish the game with 60 yds more total O than UM and had 2 possessions during the aforementioned final 5 UM possessions where they punted on 3 plays gaining 4 and 7 yds respectively. Clearly ND dominated most of the game, but no where near what you have stated. If you don't know what u r talking about or you are making a run at the board fade don't spew misinformation to the rest of us on a betting board where accurate information is critically important. Head on over to Rivals board for useless tripe. |

I agree, I love SDSU +10.

MSU is now starting 2 DL's on the OL. This should be CMU's make or break game in terms of max effort for the season. I was hoping the line would be more towards 19-21, but it's at 24. Tough call, CMU is a bad team, and MSU is not as good as last year and banged up. |

In 2009, a 5-7 UM team beat EMU by 28. I think there will be a ND hangover, which makes this one tough. The D continues to improve in game, if they can start a game off on the right foot, I can see this one ending 48-17 or there abouts. Small UM lean under 30.

WMU is clearly the better team and CMU's top RB is out with an injury for the season most likely. I got this at 7 but wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot worse. CMU was lucky to hang around with what appears to be a bad Kentucky team for as long as they did as UK continually missed opportunities before they covered.

Despite a bevy of missed opps, Kentucky does finally cover.

Just seems strange that ND would be -11 at Home, I had no idea UM was considered this bad and/or ND was considered this good. I know you can't always use the transitive property, but I would guess UM would be a 10 pt dog at home, max, to OSU, which would put them -17 at OSU, about as big as it gets in these types of rivalry games. That would make OSU at ND a pickem or ND actually -1. Again, that just doesn't seem right, but maybe that is accurate? ND is closer to being elite that perhaps I realize. Interesting spread, I would take UM ML. |
