I'm rolling Tenn this week +4.5. I know team's been frustrating for a while... UF big rival was on deck so maybe just a down game... and WVA not a good comparison... they're an epic offense.. UF pass is terrible, D more suspect this year...... rolling bigger if it goes back to 6 and will be waiting to see what the totals are.

BUCKS (3-0, 1-0): Both teams shot themselves in the foot quite a bit during this game. At the end of the day, it was TCU's turnovers that proved too costly to overcome in a Buckeye victory. Hopefully Nick Bosa can recover from his groin injury and Austin Mack can recover from whatever was causing him to drop all those passes. I'm more than satisfied with a 3-0 record during the Urban suspension, but they still got a lot to work on before Big Ten play enters full swing in a couple weeks.
NEXT UP: Tulane (1-2, 0-0 AAC West)
CYCLONES (0-2, 0-1): I was at their game this past Saturday and while Iowa State did look very promising on offense, Oklahoma was simply the better team and Kyler Murray is the real deal. Crazy to think he's better at baseball than he is at football. I still think the cardinal and gold have the potential to make some noise this season, but the Big 12 seems to be much improved from top to bottom and another 7-5 year might be in the cards.
NEXT UP: Akron (2-0, 0-0 MAC East)
PIONEERS (3-0, 2-0): The Shrine Trophy will remain on campus after a 46-20 victory over the Fighting Muskies. Tanner Clark returned the opening kick 90 yards for a touchdown and Darrien Fields threw for 311 yards in a game where the Pios scored often and never trailed (the defense also forced 5 INT's). Proud of the boys as it's been a great start to the season....first time being 3-0 since 1972!

BOSTON COLLEGE -6 (-120) : Alright, I know Purdue did better than expected at home against Missouri. I'm simply going double or nothing that they can't do it two weeks in a row. Your move, BC.
2U PLAYS:
GEORGIA -14 (-120) : A tough road test for the Dawgs here against a good Missouri team. But they had no trouble on the road against a superior South Carolina squad, so I think they cruise through this one and remain undefeated.
TROY -6 (-120) : They just beat Nebraska on the road by 5. You're telling me UL Monroe is only a point worse than Nebraska? Sorry, but I'm just not buying it.
1U PLAYS:
BUFFALO -4 (-120) : Man oh man, is Rutgers bad....meanwhile, the Bulls are 4-0 and have been doing just enough to take care of business. I have zero faith in Rutgers - even at home - after seeing them get absolutely demolished by Kansas.
More to come. I see a decent amount I like this week.

STANFORD -2 (-115) : The Cardinal have dominated the Ducks as of late and while Autzen is a tough place to play, they're still far and away the better team in this matchup. Oregon has not looked like a ranked team, and Stanford has Bryce Love. I'll eat the small chalk.
2U PLAYS:
WESTERN MICHIGAN -7 (-120) : I just don't see Georgia State keeping up in this one. Although WMU does have a putrid run defense, they should be able to put up 40+ without breaking a sweat which should be enough to cover.
SAN DIEGO STATE -10 (-120) : I like Eastern Michigan as a team, and I think they will keep this game neck and neck for 2-3 quarters. But at the end of the day, the Aztecs are a good team coming off a big win and will be tough to stop.
1U PLAYS:
UNLV +8 (-120) : Arkansas State is the better team here, but I think the success of UNLV's running game should have them in a good position to keep this game within a touchdown margin.

PITTSBURGH -3 (-125) : I attempted to fade UNC last week, but Hurricane Florence caused a push. I can't trust a team who lost by 22 to ECU and has 10 players suspended, no matter how emotional the game is. Pitt should handle business.
1U PLAYS:
SYRACUSE -27 (-120) : The Orange dispatched Florida State after leading 30-0, and UConn is one of the worst teams in the country. Syracuse will be hungry for another blowout to get some respect in the national polls, and will win big.
CINCINNATI -8 (-120) : As much as I'd like to see the Bobcats pull the upset here, I think the Bearcats are the smart pick as they've been playing some good football this season. Whoever took the over on their win total is licking their chops.
TEXAS A&M +26 (-110) : It might be too early to make this statement, but this Bama team might be better than any we've ever seen. Still, this is a lot of points to be laying to an A&M team who gave Clemson all they could handle.

I want to pull trigger on Panthers, but UNC has won L5 gms against Pitt last five years and the Hurricane Flo disruption may have been a blessing in disguise for Heels. Never know which Pitt team shows up. If line drops to -3 with reasonable juice, will likely pounce, but don't see that happening

Pitt's inconsistency is a concern no doubt. Seem to play to the level of their opponents, they've had big wins over marquee teams but at the end of the day UNC is flat out awful even in this spot. BOL to you on your plays, sir

MINNESOTA +2 (-120) : Wrong team seems to be favored here, as Maryland was embarrassed by Temple at home and Minnesota should have their starting QB available for this game. I like the Gophers to stay undefeated.
1U PLAYS:
IOWA +3 (-110) : Iowa has always been a tough place to play, especially at night. This game could decide the B1G West, and I think Iowa is legit this year especially on defense. I could see them losing by a field goal, but I'll gladly take the free points.
