Marshall minus 3 hosting Appalachian State My sympathies go out to the people affected by Hurricane Helene. One of the cities hit by that horrible hurricane was Boone, which is home to Appalachian State. The hurricane caused the Mountaineers’ game against Liberty last week to be called off.

Arkansas plus 10 at Oklahoma State I like taking this many points with an SEC team in a non-conference matchup, even a lower-tier one such as Arkansas. This could be a make or break year for Sam Pittman and the Razorbacks after they went 4-8 last year. Note, though, that five of those defeats were […]

Because the Mean Green offense is going to have problems on the road against Tulane’s defense, which ranks sixth in fewest rushing yards allowed and is eighth […]
Indiana plus 33 1/2 at Michigan You remember Rod Carey, the former head coach at Northern Illinois and Temple? He’s the new offensive coordinator at Indiana replacing Walt Bell, who was let go last week during the Hooisers’ bye week. Carey has a unique clause in his contract. He will earn a $50,000 bonus if […]
Houston at Connecticut Under 55 Connecticut may not even score here. The Huskies’ offense is that bad and Houston’s defense is that good. The Huskies rank 127th both in yards and points, averaging a meager 15.5 points per game. Houston ranks sixth in fewest yards allowed and 10th in sacks. The key is how many […]
Iowa plus 1 at Nebraska Is this some sort of shell game with the oddsmaker making Nebraska a favorite against Iowa? Maybe I’m a sucker then but I’ll put my 11-4 Big Ten Conference record on the line by taking the underdog Hawkeyes. The 16th-ranked Hawkeyes are 9-2 and alive for the Big Ten Conference […]
