CFB Predictions (Week 8)

This is done for the hell of it. If you decide you want to use what I am posting, you are doing so at your own risk.
(ATS w/ $ 5-8 (63%). ATS no $ 8-13 (62%). SU 19-22 (86%).

Games I would (and probably have) put money on (my picks in GREEN):

Purdue 17 Northwestern 24 (NWestern -4)

Indiana 20 Illinois 42 (Illinois -15.5)

Idaho 17 Louisiana Tech 45 (LA Tech -20.5)

Arkansas 13 Kentucky 27 (Kentucky -7.5)

Oregon St 42 Washington 16 (OR St -16)



Games I would love to put money on, but have no guts:

UConn @ Rutgers (UConn -1.5)
Rutgers is not the Rutgers it has been the last 2 years. UConn is not that good either but will pull a win off.

Utah St @ Nevada (Nevada -22.5)
See last week's take on Utah St. In fact, see last week's take on Nevada too. Nevada should walk all over Utah St... everyone does. But Nevada is Nevada and when they were supposed to walk all over NM St, they not only did not, they lost!!

USC @ Washington St (USC -42.5)
Yes, Wazzu is the Pac 10 doormat, but, surely Pete Carroll has some kindness in him and won't run up the score on this Wazzu team that has been depleted by injuries???

Texas Tech @ Texas A&M (TT -21)
Texas Tech is a good team. I'm just not certain they can cover the spread. They have the ability to, I don't know if they will.

Wisconsin @ Iowa (Iowa -3.5)
This seems like a no-brainer wager. However, the odd-makers probably know something we don't. 

Michigan @ Penn St (Penn St -24.5)
Yes, Penn St is that good. And yes, Michigan is that bad. They lost to Toledo last week. Lost to who? Yes, Toledo. RR, in his first year, is rebuilding. But, they are really that bad.
