Grabbed this one and really like Ohio St. First, Washington hasn't live up to expectations this year and the PAC 12 was really a down conference this season. The main factor here though is all motivation. Ohio St will want to win this one for Meyer as he is stepping down after this game. I think Ohio St gets on them early never lets up.

We have a Mountain West school vs Pac 12 in a good match up. I just think Fresno is much better despite being from the so called lesser conference since they are non power 5.

Fresno St is no joke with their two losses being on the road @ Minnesota which they should have won and @ Boise, but they got that revenge in the MWC Title game.

This team seems pretty disinterested. Ga Tech on the other hand is playing their best football of the season winning 4 of their last 5 games and scoring over 35 points in 4 of them as well.

Baylor is coming off a nice win last week vs Oklahoma St as a home dog. The weather I think will impact this game as well as it will be played more on the ground.

Old Dominion out gained them last week putting up over 500 yards of offense, but they had 5 turnovers that really did them in. North Texas is actually eliminated from playing for the conference title as UAB pretty much has it wrapped up.

Missouri let one slip away against highly ranked Kentucky in the 4th where they lead all game. That is such a tough one here with going on the road next. Drew Lock has also struggled big time against better competition and this will be the best defense he has faced. Florida will create turnovers and Missouri wont be able to play catch up

I know Sparty can stop the run but I'm more worries about their offense and their backup QB who was very shaky last week and now on the road I simply wont trust.

No choice here IMO but to take Stanford. I was on Washington St last week and I believe it's fair to say that that could be their biggest win ever given the circumstances since game day was there. Washington St has covered every game and we all know the betting public loves that especially now given what we saw last week vs Oregon. Stanford has had extra time to prepare here as well which is huge. I also like the revenge angle with Stanford will swallow the Field Goal

Maybe I am way off on this game but the wrong team is favored here. Texas AM has two losses on the season oh and they are too Clemson and Bama are those two teams any good? Miss St has struggled big time especially Fitzgerald at QB. Miss St has scored over 10 points just once in the last 4 games. The Aggies defense will have no problem here eating them up.

Georgia has played one hard team so far and they were beaten badly against a LSU team who struggles at the QB position. Well I think Florida has just as good of defense oh and they beat that LSU team SU. Both teams coming off the bye this game clearly means everything in the SEC East plus the revenge angle is well in play here with Florida.

Houston won @ East Carolina 42-20 and USF beat them at home by just 7. Houston also demolished Tulsa while USF beat them by 1. Houston is by far the better team and the line is telling the story.

I really like what I saw from Tennessee last week coming off their bye week @ Auburn and winning SU as a double touchdown favorite.

Iowa St will be up for this game here and they won't be scared as they have played a brutal tough schedule so far.

Oregon is coming off the bye as well which is huge. Also how good is exactly Washington? So the week 1 Auburn game looks terrible now. They just won @ UCLA by only 7 and beat ASU by 7.

They won't have a problem moving on a terrible Toledo defense who give up 6.2 yards per play. Another huge factor here is just look at the strength of schedule. The only two tough teams Toledo has played they were blown out. EMU has played 5 straight teams who will be going to bowl games this season. Wrong Team is favored here because of record

I dont expect Bama to have any problems here more or less, but at least the Aggies have proven themselves to compete with the best as they took Clemson down to the wire. Bama was favored less playing against Louisville and Ole Miss who are both a lot worse than Texas AM. Bottom line this is simply way too many points and with what we have seen from Texas AM you have to take all the points

I also like the fact that Ball St lost to WKU last year so revenge is for sure on their mind. WKU already has their struggles on offense only averaging 16 ppg. Ball St is averaging 450 yards per game and I dont see them having any issues here.

Louisville I think most are giving a pass too because they have played Bama and got blown out like everyone else has.

I truly believe the line tells the story here. I'm not buying that LSU win over Miami at all in the first week. First, it was a little misleading as Miami actually out gained them in the game and LSU won the turnover battle 2-0. The next thing is, how good do we truly believe Miami is? Well I don't think they are that good this season but since they were ranked high LSU gets all the credit here. I was very impressed with Auburn week 1 vs a very good Washington team. Their defense will get after the one dimensional LSU offense here. Auburn was a 6 point favorite on the road last year and lost now the revenge will play a factor. I think Auburn destroys them.

I was against Notre Dame last weekend in a win as they struggled with Ball St. Granted they werent that interested in the game, but this week they better show up. Vandy looks improved big time so far this season and the main reason is because of their offense. Midd Tenn and Nevada are smaller schools, but they aren't exactly dumpster fires and Vandy really put it to them. I dont think Vandy gets blown out and their defense alone will keep them with a great chance to pull the upset IMO

Is there anything good to say so far about this Florida St team? I sure dont think so. They just gave up 475 yards in the air to Samford and only won by 10. Cuse has revenge on their minds from last season blowing a game @ FSU. Cuse will have no problem here putting up the points and they should be favored IMO.

This was on I had circled coming into the week. GA Southern isn't world beaters everyone knows that, but they have played well so far covering both games. They run the option and that is the reason I like them here because they are going to be having the hurricane weather roll through. With the weather I expect this game to be played a lot on the ground. Also throw in the fact that Clemson just came off a thrilling win @ Texas AM last week. This isn't the most ideal spot for them. The motivation won't be there to blow them out as well. I expect this number to drop as we go along

This is just a weird game here. Michigan St looked bad last Friday night as a huge favorite over Utah St just beating them by 7. They now travel and play a super late kickoff for them which will be 9:45 CT plus a 100 degree day. ASU is a big question mark as a lot of people have pegged them one of the worst teams in the conference. I just think this spot is good and I maybe Michigan St isn't as good as their ranking
