9/16-18 College Football

131 Tulsa (+7) 131/132 Tulsa/Oklahoma State OV 68'

134 Duke (+24) Bama is Cutcliffe's alma mater. Duke is the doormat of the ACC, but have improved. Bama has road game at Arkansas on deck. Ingram will be back, but it will take a full game for him to get used to playing again.

160 Bowling Green (+3) BG off 2 solid efforts as big road dogs at Troy and at Tulsa. Now they get Marshall off having their guts torn out at home by West Virginia in an OT loss. I don't know how much Marshall has in the tank for this one and BG will be focused off 2 good performances in their losses.

139/140 Colorado State/Miami Ohio UN 48 CSU has yet to score a TD this year and new QB Thomas is having trouble adjusting to Steve Fairchild's offense. Miami is also no offensive juggernaut. Colo St's leading rusher only has 32 total yards and Miami avg less than 100 yds rushing as a team.

205/206 Troy/UAB UN 59 206 UAB (+4) Troy off good performance at Ok St. UAB shot themselves in the foot LW and then kind of caved in against SMU. This looks like too soft of a number for Troy. On the total, UAB ran their QB Isabelle a ton in first two games. UAB is #112 in the country in passing. I expect UAB to run the ball a lot and keep Troy off the field as much as possible.

183/184 Boise State/Wyoming UN 53 Boise gave up 30 points, but their defense was a lot better than the pts allowed. They completely shut down VT's running game and VT could only run the ball with Tyrod Taylor scrambling. Austin-Carta Samuels is OK, but not Taylor when it comes to running. Texas held Wyo to 58 yds on the ground on 30 attempts. I think Boise may be a little rusty offensively off their bye week.

101 Cincinnati (+2') Cincinnati looked bad in Week 1 at Fresno and started slow vs. Indiana St LW. NC State got outgained by UCF LW and only won b/c of +5 in the TO margin. I think Collaros is better for this offense than Pike was at QB.

133/134 Alabama/Duke UN 58 Duke gave up 54 at Wake Forest LW so they'll give up even more than that to Alabama, right?

111 Iowa State (+4) Game being played at Arrowhead Stadium in KC. This line stinks to high heaven. Iowa State gets absolutely spanked at Iowa LW and K-State is 2-0 and is avg 258 on the ground. K-State gave up 447 total yards against Missouri State. I still like the Cyclones despite their bad performance last week.

119/120 Ohio U/Ohio State OV 44'
