Auburn has the better defense. Purdue will be able to score some points here but not enough. The speed of Auburn defense should have Purdue a little off balance. This should cause a couple turnovers to swing the game. Also, Stidham's ability to run the football will be an advantage. Auburn run-game is down, but run defense and defense in general is the weakness of this Purdue team. Purdue was inconsistent this year and wasn't able to generate momentum playing away from home. Auburn is the play but not as strong as the others.
Syracuse -3
Syracuse should've been +3 with Grier playing. They have the better defense, and with Grier out, it's a no-brainer. They should come up with a few turnovers to put this thing away in the 2nd or 3rd qtr. Some people are saying trap. I don't see it. Syracuse defense is too solid and running game are too solid. I like the way Cuse finished the season too. They walked into BC on senior day and shlacked them. That's not easy to do though AJ Dillon left that one early but still.
Iowa State +3 -125
I've been waiting all year for the right spot to fade Wazzu. They are the most overrated team in the country. The Pac 12 was weak to begin with, but they were the beneficiary of a perfect storm of scheduling. Also, that team should've lost to Cal.
Iowa State is solid on both sides of the ball. They are far better at scoring than Wazzu and have better play makers. QB might be a wash, but ISU may have the advantage as Wazzu played in the cupcake Pac 12. They haven't faced pressure like ISU can bring outside of Washington who they lost to.

agree on all. hardest one im trying to figure out is Auburn as this one the motivation factor may come in with a bunch of kids looking to go pro, they may play safe to avoid injury. and then rondale moore, not sure if this kid is going to be an x factor here.
