LSU also let Towson hang around a long time. I'm not putting a lot of stock in Auburn's performance against LSU

Until Wisconsin shows they can even consistently score more than 20 points, I'm not going to expect them to win by 18. I'll take UTEP +18 and watch Wisconsin continue to muddle through their season eeking out close wins.

I think Utah is going to have BYU hangover, Arizona State will bounce back after letting Mizzou slip away. I'll take the home team and lay the 7. I think ASU wins by 10.

I think Mizzou has a great shot at the straight up win, so I'll take the 10 pt cushion. Lattimore is a good back, but Shaw isn't 100% and I don't see SC going points crazy. Mizzou, on the other hand, can score points and should be able to keep it close, if not win outright.

I'll take the under. Oregon State didn't do much against what turns out to be a pretty bad Wisconsin team. UCLA is undefeated, a little overrated, but good for about 28 points in this matchup (and the win). Just need OSU to come out and score 21 or less.

Boise State -6 and over 50. Smurf turf motivates the Broncos. BYU does just enough to help the over... Boise State 31 BYU 24 |

With the line dropping, feels like I'm on the wrong side, but can't help it. Gota go Ohio -5.5.

Don't understand the low line unless you want to argue you don't know what you're getting with the Aggies yet after one emotional game under Sumlin's new offense. However, you know what you're getting from SMU's defense and that should be enough to make you feel comfortable. Aggies -11 is the play. |

Going to be bad weather (if the game is played as scheduled). Some research points to bring up to those who may not be paying that much attention: A&M is coming in with a completely different offensive attack than prior years. Sumlin brings the spread from Houston. If the wind/rain prevents A&M from throwing the ball, A&M has a loaded backfield with Christine Michaels and Williams. For the first time in history, A&M will also be starting a freshman QB in Johnny Manziel. Based on the weather, the freshman QB and the potential reliance on running the ball, I'm going to take the under and leave the spread alone.

I was at the A&M game and saw this Mizzou team first hand. It wasn't as much as they were good as it was A&M was bad. The line is kept low because Mizzou is undefeated which sets up well for OU backers. Mizzou's offense consists of dinking and dunking down the field with an occasional post/flag route worked into their TE. OU has too many weapons on offense and should win this game by at least a TD. OU's late season stumble will come somewhere else (either on the road at A&M or vs Oklahoma State). I'm on OU -3. |

Another angle to consider is that this is uncharted territory for Baylor. If they're able to win, they'll get to 6 wins that makes them bowl eligible (something they haven't been in a VERY long time). All this before a brutal stretch of conference games that include Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M. Will they let the pressure get to them and lay an egg? |

Texas A&M is the play here. They're a different team at home than they are on the road. Baylor has had one good game without Griffin (against Mizzou) and doesn't have the offensive firepower to stay with Texas A&M. The Aggies bowl hopes rest on this game (since Texas on Thanksgiving is the last game on their schedule) - so expect them to come out fired up and playing with a purpose. ATS, A&M is 3-1-1 at home and 1-3 on the road (0-1 in neutral sites). Ags at home. |

A&M's tournament life depends on winning the games they should and stealing at least one they shouldn't (which now looks like maybe @ home vs Texas)... |

No explanation for why Baylor is favored by this much. they've won 1 time in the last 19 matchups

Missouri still needs to take out some aggression on lower opponents. Baylor will probably score around 14-20, but Mizzou should be in the 40's. |

I like Ole Miss by a TD.

I'm on A&M on this one. ISU is a better team at home then on the road, the problem is they're not very good (and inconsistent). A&M doesn't have a good record, but one thing I've noticed week to week is improvement. Go back and check -- each week they got better (except Army) and they've put up good fights against the better opponents in the Big XII. ISU surprised Kansas, but got blown out by Baylor and Nebraska. Small play on A&M since I'm getting points. |

I got Neb at -6.5. Just don't think Iowa State has the horses to keep up. They played well at Kansas, but getting beat by Baylor like that will surely hurt one's confidence.
