Good weekend and great start to Locktober although I knew I should have stayed away from the Huskies; lesson learned.

1.    Army @ Miami (Miami +2.5; O/U 48)
I really think Miami wins this game because Army is so bad on the road; however the Redhawks 3rd Efficiency and Dysert tossing interceptions make this a no play.  If Boucher was starting the Redhawks cash easily…look for Dysert to get pulled if he struggles early and make a play on the Redwaks in the second half.  No Play

2.    Florida Atlantic @ Akron (Akron +19; O/U 51.5)
I still love this Akron team and they are continuing to improve…for them to be getting 19 at InfoCision Stadium is a disrespect to my Zips…however FIU’s offense has the potential put up points and could cover that number.  No Play.

3.    Temple @ Ball State (Ball State +8.5; O/U 49.5)
Temple heads into Scheumann Stadium for the Ball State Homecoming Game.  Temple is coming off an embarrassing loss to Toledo in which they killed themselves on turnovers.  This will not happen again as the team is refocused and facing a Ball State defense which gives up over 460 yards/game.  Also 5 Ball State Cornerbacks are listed as questionable or worse to do the pounding Oklahoma doled out this past weekend.  Temple rights the horse…Play Temple -8.5.

4.    Bowling Green @ Western Michigan (WMU – 10; O/U 60.5)
Even though Bowling Green got lit up by West Va I like this squad and like their pass defense against Alex Carder and the fighting Cubit’s.  Bowling Green is playing with revenge here and WMU is due for a let down here after their lock of a win last week against UConn.  We’ll probably need the points but not all 10.  Play BGST +10

5.    Eastern Michigan @ Toledo (Toledo -21; O/U51.5)
Toledo’s run defense will shutdown EMU’s Offense and the Rockets will roll.  Having covered this matchup the last 4 years Toledo will easily make it 5 in a row.  Toledo in a laugher… Play Toledo -21.

6.    Central Michigan @ NC State (NC State -10.5; O/U 53.5)
CMU should be able to have some success in the passing game; probably enough to hang around for a while; long enough to make me nervous if I picked NC State.  No Play.

7.    Ohio @ Buffalo (Buffalo +8.5; O/U 52.5)
Same reason I went with Tennessee last week is the reason Ohio is the play this week.  Tyler Tettleton should go nuts in a blow out Bobcats victory.  Play Ohio -8.5

8.    Kent State @ Northern Illinois (NIU – 17; O/U 52)
Kent State has no offense and their defense has the potential to stop NIU a few times.  NIU has no defense but if there is any time for them to show up its at home against Kent State.  I am clueless…No play.


1.    Army @ Miami (Miami +2.5; O/U 48) - No Play

I understand the matchup problems for Eastern, but Toledo is in one of the worst situational spots you can find. 

Toledo's run D against Temple was impressive and the past history of this matchup have all been blowouts.

If I had to bet I would play Miami and NC State; I just don't see a significant enough of an edge.  CMU is not a good football team.

Florida International is playing Akron; sorry for the typo...I had it right in my write up just mistyped it in the header.
