Really won't be around to answer questions, so I'll post some brief thoughts on my posted plays.
Penn State @ Illinois
Should be perfect football weather on a fast FieldTurf surface. I think both
teams get into the 20s here. Should be a close game, so OT is certainly possible
here as well. I many times will play over on college totals of 42 many times on value
alone. I think this is a great spot to do so here.
Arkansas @ TAMU
I hate backing a John L. Smith coached team, but these teams will be playing in a monsoon tomorrow, which I think will pretty much nullify any home field advantage for TAMU. Heavy rain is usually a great equalizer. I'll take a shot on the points and ML here.

Baylor @ West Virginia
I think Baylor is very capable of scoring with the Mountaineers. Big conference openers for both teams. If this were a night game in Morganstown I would probably lay off, but the noon kickoff doesn't scare me. I think this one will be tight throughout.
Tennessee @ Georgia
This is a classic betting situation of buying Tennesse low, and selling Georgia high. I think Georgia is the deeper team here, so I do have concerns about Tennessee hanging in there for 4 quarters, but I definitely think this is a very tight game for two quarters.
Miami-Ohio @ Akron
Terry Bowden has done a great job of making this Akron team instantly competitive. There is excitement and hope surrounding the Zips right now, and they are catching a very overrated Miami-Ohio on their home turf. Expect an extraordinary effort out of the fighting Bowden's tomorrow.
Central Michigan @ NIU
I initially liked the points here, but as I dug a bit deeper I switched sides. Both offenses can score, but the big difference here is the NIU defense, and I do stress "big." I think the better defense wins and cover this game.
Ole Miss @ Alabama
Not much to say that everyone hasn't already heard from me many times. Alabama's offense should have no problem getting into at least the mid-40s here, and that should be good enough for the cover.
South Carolina @ Kentucky
If this game weren't a big enough of a mismatch already, Kentucky's QB Maxwell Smith was knocked out of the Florida game with a shoulder injury. His replacement was true freshman Jalen Withlow who completed 1 of 6 passes for 12 yards. What is interesting about Whitlow is that this time last year he was the "backup" QB at Prattville high school. Yes, you heard that right. He wasn't even good enough to start at is own high school.
Joker Phillips said Smith will play tomorrow night, but if anyone has ever had a shoulder injury serious enough to get knocked out of football game, you know there is no chance Maxwell's shoulder is anywhere near 100%. I don't think he survives the game against South Carolina's fierce pass rush. Needless to say if Whitlock is pressed into service in this game, it will get very ugly.
TCU @ SMU
There will be no points shaving is this one. Quite simply Gary Patterson hates June's Jones' guts, and will pour it on.
