Alright enjoy the MACTION tonight and don't forget to enjoy the rest of the football weekend.
Wednesday, October 14th, 2012:
Toledo at Northern Illinois, 8:00 pm ESPN2, A Northern Illinois victory all but assures them the division title, while a Toledo victory gives them the head to head upper hand but leaves room for both teams to screw up. Northern Illinois was a conference favorite coming into the year but this game should be what we've come to expect from #MACTION. Winner: Northern Illinois ATS: Toledo +11
Saturday, October 17th, 2012:
#10 Florida State at Maryland, 11:00 am ESPNU, Same thing as last week with Maryland, until they no longer have a linebacker starting at QB this isn't going to change. Winner: Florida State ATS: Florida State -31
Iowa at #21 Michigan, 11:00 am ESPN, Iowa visits Michigan where the Hawkeyes will have a hell of a time keeping pace with a Michigan offense that should run rough shod over their defense. Winner: Michigan ATS: (No line but, I would give up to three touchdowns)
Kent State at Bowling Green, 11:00 am ESPN3, Kent State visits Bowling Green to decide the other half of the MAC. Kent State comes with athletic dynamo Dri Archer who leads the team in receiving, 2nd in rushing and is a threat to score each time he receives a kick. Bowling Green has an impressive close lose to Florida but was also blown out by Va Tech. I think this one follows a very similar path to Toledo-NIU but with Kent State opening up a gap as the game winds down. Winner: Kent State ATS: Kent State +2.5
UCF at Tulsa, 11:00 am, C-USA's two conference leaders meet in what won't send either to a BCS game but this shouldn't disuade you from enjoy what should be a pretty good and entertaining game. Winner: Tulsa ATS: Tulsa -3
#22 Rutgers at Cincinnati, 11:00 am Big East Network, Rutgers visits Cincy this week and we finally find out if the lone loss on the Rutgers schedule was a fluke or if their record out of the gate as a mirage. I think Rutgers is the superior team here and should leave Cincy with most of us convinced that they will give Louisville a run for the conference crown. Winner: Rutgers ATS: Rutgers +6.5
#25 Washington at Colorado, 12:30 pm FX, Washington wins this one and yeah Colorado may be the worst BCS AQ squad we've seen and that includes some putrid Indiana squads. Winner: Washington ATS: Washington -20.5
#18 USC at #17 UCLA, 2:05 pm FOX, This game will more than likely decide the Pac-12 South this season and the fate of head coach Lane Kiffin of the Trojans. USC has the talent edge but Jim Mora has done wonders for the preparation of UCLA this season. Winner: USC ATS: USC -3
Wake Forest at #3 Notre Dame, 2:30 pm NBC, Notre Dame will surely find a way to make this game oh so much closer than it should be but this game shouldn't really be in doubt. Winner: Notre Dame ATS: Wake Forest +24
Ole Miss at #7 LSU, 2:30 pm CBS, Ole Miss continues to improve but LSU will shut this offense down. Winner: LSU ATS: LSU -18.5
Minnesota at #14 Nebraska, 2:30 pm BTN, Nebraska wins this one and comes one step closer to a division crown in year two of their Big Ten existence. Winner: Nebraska ATS: Nebraska -19.5
#23 Texas Tech at #24 Oklahoma State, 2:30 pm,
NC State at #11 Clemson, 2:30 pm ABC/ESPN2, Clemson continues to roll through it's ACC schedule but will ultimately lament the loss to Florida State that will cost it a shot at the BCS auto bid and may keep them from an at large birth. Winner: Clemson ATS: Clemson -17
Ohio State at Wisconsin, 2:30 pm ABC/ESPN2, This game perplexes me because I don't know what to think about either team. Wisconsin is dependent on getting a dimension out of the passing game, where as Ohio State has had trouble with lesser competition this season. I think the big match up in this game is the linebacker play on both sides versus Miller and the running game respectively. Winner: Wisconsin ATS: Ohio State +3
Utah State at #20 Louisiana Tech, 3:00 pm ESPN3, Utah State visits La Tech in a game that will decide the WAC in it's last season. I think La Tech walks away with this one but it will be close later than most think. Winner: La Tech ATS: La Tech +3
#12 Oklahoma at West Virginia, 6:00 pm FOX, Shootout in Morgantown as the Sooner make their inaugural trip to play the Mountaineers. This will be a high scoring affair but the Sooner defense has too much of an edge over their WVU counterparts. Winner: Oklahoma ATS: West Virginia +11
#1 Kansas State at Baylor, 7:00 pm ESPN, I get it Baylor can put up points but they have no defense and we haven't seen improvement from that unit this season. Kansas State keeps rolling along, it isn't very flashy but Bill Snyder's team wins and doesn't make the fans sweat too much. Winner: Kansas State ATS: Kansas State -11.5
#13 Stanford at #2 Oregon, 7:00 pm ABC, Stanford visits Autzen Stadium for a rematch of a Oregon beat down of Stanford's national title hopes last season. Oregon's defensive line health will be a major concern coming into this game, but this version of the Oregon Ducks is even more talented than last years which is a scary proposition for everyone involved. Winner: Oregon ATS: Oregon -20.5
Cal at #16 Oregon State, 9:30 pm Pac-12 Network, Cal is horrible and should be the remedy for the Beavers recent slide. Winner: Oregon State ATS: No line because of QB uncertainty on both sides
