More from College Football Odds

Missouri at (13)South Carolina(-5.5): Too low. SC’s defense isn’t as good as last year, but it is damn sure better than Indiana’s.  Give me the Gamecocks.

North Carolina at Clemson(-14.5): I know Clemson lost a heartbreaker last week, but did anyone watch what ECU did to the Tarheels? Clemson probably won’t score 70, but 40 is a strong possibility, even if they are hung over from FSU. Give me Clemson.

Boise State(-13.5) at Air Force: This is supposed to be one of Ajayi’s “off” weeks. He has been off and on all year. Even if he is, I still think Boise covers.

Troy at Louisiana-Monroe(-13.5): This line is up 8 points since it opened, and two more since yesterday. Is Troy really that bad? Probably. Give me Monroe.

Rice(-8.5) at Southern Mississippi: Heh, give me a team that has actually won a game. That would be Southern Miss.

Central Michigan at Toledo(-13.5): The Rockets are not as good as predicted, but CMU got smacked by Kansas. Not Kansas State, KANSAS. Give me Toledo.

Duke at Miami(FL)(-6.5):This is absolutely ridiculous. Duke ran for almost 400 yards on Miami last year, and will likely do so again. Their offense is pretty much the same, is it not? In fact, they may even have a better back than they did last year. I like Duke straight up for my lock of the night!

Memphis at (10)Mississippi(-20.5): This line is falling, likely because of how Memphis hung with UCLA. Can they do the same with Ole Miss? Because of the Rebels defense, I will say no. Give me Ole Miss.

New Mexico State at (17)LSU(-43.5): LSU didn’t beat Monroe by this much, and barely beat Sam Houston State by this. I think I have to go with New Mexico State.

Washington State at Utah(-13.5): The Cougars played Oregon tough, but that was at home. They haven’t exactly looked great on the road. That said, Utah hasn’t faced a good offense yet. I think Wazzu keeps this close. Give me the Leaches.

UNLV at San Diego State(-18.5): UNLV hasn’t been anywhere near the team that they were last year, but are they this bad? Maybe. SDSU is the safer pick right now, and I am going to play it safe.

(8)Notre Dame(-9.5) vs. Syracuse at East Rutherford, NJ: Judging by what I have seen from Notre Dame thus far, there is no reason not to take them. Especially for under ten points. Give me the Domers.

Texas State at Tulsa(-3.5): After watching the Bobcats last week against Illinois, I like them straight up!

(7)Baylor(-21.5) at Iowa State: The Cyclones are usually tough at home. Just ask Kansas State. Still, Baylor gets Antwan Goodley back. As if they need any more weapons. Give me Iowa State. I like their toughness at home, and I don’t think the Baylor D is as strong as last year. And the Cyclone offense is MUCH better. Say 42-21 Bears.

Illinois at (21)Nebraska(-21.5): I don’t really like the half, but Illinois has been awful. They got blasted by Washington and outplayed by Texas State. I like Nebraska. Look for another 200+ yards from Abdullah.

Oregon State at (18)USC(-9.5): I don’t know what to think of the Trojans. They looked really good against Stanford and Fresno, but were trampled by Boston College. I don’t really think that Oregon State will be able to run on them, and USC’s pass defense has been good. Give me USC.

Nevada(-5.5) at San Jose State: Too low. Nevada will literally run off with this.
