Navy (+2) over Tulsa

The Midshipmen are unblemished at home this season, and that includes victories over Houston, Memphis and Notre Dame. To be frank, the line movement in this game terrifies me, as Navy went from opening as a favorite to where the number currently stands. Still, I’ll go in the face of the steam with a program that I always find myself riding in situations like this, and while Tulsa is (very) underrated on a national scale, I think Navy is better on a neutral field. That is a nice recipe for a home underdog, even with a tiny number.

Baylor (+16) over Oklahoma

This is a silly number. Yes, Baylor has been exposed when it comes to not being quite the team that their early season profile suggested, but the Bears have no business catching more than two touchdowns against Oklahoma. The line is a product of the annual rush to the Sooners when other Big 12 options falter, and while Bob Stoops’ team is the most talented in the conference, the difference between Oklahoma and Baylor simply isn’t this large. The public is on the favorite and that encourages me even more. Take the candy.
