-Charlotte +1.5 (ML): Found footing in their passing game last week, line opened at Rice -2.5 and is slowly moving closer to even. Predicting Rice to come out strong and Charlotte to open it up in the 2nd half.
-Oklahoma St -13.5: Seeing alot of people taking Tulsa +13.5, while I don’t believe Oklahoma St is going to have any success in the BIG12 this season, I think small conference matchups should still end in 3-4 score games. Coming off a beating against a top team in the country, they should come out clean and ready to go against a much worse opponent.
-Over 45.5 Iowa/Rutgers: I know Iowa doesn’t have much of a reputation as a high scoring offense, but they will need to be to beat a Rutgers team that’s averaging 46 points per game and 450 yards of total offense. I also don’t think a Rutgers defense that gave up 31 to Ohio is going to be able to slow down Iowa’s offense.
-Maryland +9.5 (ML not bad): Wisconsin sports programs are hurting bad from NIL. Not being able to secure high valued transfers or freshman, and having an identity crisis on top of it. Starting QB got hurt Week 1, looked extremely rough against Alabama, while Maryland hasn’t played great competition thus far, they are 3-0 with relative ease. Although ML might be a stretch, can’t imagine Wisconsin’s offense scoring more than 21 against any BIG 10 defense this year, much less shutting down Maryland’s offense.
-SMU ML: Could also be safe and take +6.5, but SMU’s offense has been good for the last few seasons and should come out strong against a TCU team that gave up 21 points to Abilene Christian. Might make two plays on this game, SMU +6.5 and Under 64.5, hard to imagine a world where both would miss.
-Miami (OH) ML: Although they are 0-2, Miami (OH) has played two road matchups against BIG10 teams, whereas UNLV has played an awful UCLA team, allowed 21 against SHSU, who has looked to be one of the most undisciplined D1 football teams I’ve had to suffer to watch in recent memory, and an Idaho St. team that’s been blown out 3 times by small conference teams.
-UNC +6.5/Under 46.5: Not sure UCF has proven they have what it takes to stick around in the BIG12 yet, but have been solid defensively. Combine that with Belicheck calling the defense on the other side, I think the under has a great chance of being the best pick for this game. At the same time, I think UNC’s offense has came together since opening night against TCU, and expect them to at minimum hang around with UCF.
-Troy ML: Although sticking around with Clemson looks less and less impressive every week, Troy not being favored here is puzzling to me. Buffalo is coming off a win against Kent St, who was far and away the worst team in football last year, where they needed a game winning TD drive to seal the deal in a 4 point win in a game they were favored by 23.5.
-Duke -3.5: NC State, while 3-0, have been down by at least 7 in all three games they’ve played. Duke will be the best team they’ve faced thus far, and with it being on the road I believe Duke won’t leave a window to allow them back in the game.
-West Virginia +13.5: Haven’t looked too impressive in any of their games thus far, but neither has Kansas. Classic rivalry game, have a feeling it’ll end in a one score game either way.
Eastern Michigan +2.5: Louisiana has put up 10, 10, and 12 points in 3 games, whereas Eastern Michigan was still able to put up 23 against a good Kentucky defense on the road. Eastern Michigan is getting their second home game of the year, lost the first to a bad Long Island team, but hopefully defense takes a step in the right direction against a team that hasn’t scored more than 1 TD in a game yet.
-Miami (OH) ML: Although they are 0-2, Miami (OH) has played two road matchups against BIG10 teams, whereas UNLV has played an awful UCLA team, allowed 21 against SHSU, who has looked to be one of the most undisciplined D1 football teams I’ve had to suffer to watch in recent memory, and an Idaho St. team that’s been blown out 3 times by small conference teams.

^^agree completely. this team was humiliated vs oregon, and have been getting shamed by the media and fans here for the entirety of the off week. great motivation for a team with quite a bit of talent. most of it is new talent or young talent, but a lot of good players. this should be the best effort this team puts out all season.
