Coming from a country that likes to claim a lot of firsts (sarcasm intended), there were a few firsts in the Ducks/Beavers game.
Ducks first win in Corvallis since 1996.
Highest attendance (46,319) ever in Reser Stadium.
Highest number of points (103) in the Civil War series ever.
Most number of yards (both teams combined, 1,157) ever.
Highest temperature (62) ever for a Civil War game.
Most number of offensive yards for Oregon (surpassing record set when hosting Utah St earlier this year).
JJ ran for the most yards (219 yds) ever in a Civil War.
LB sat a new single season rushing TD record for the Ducks (16 TDs).
Pretty darn amazing game if you are an offensive minded kind of person.
As for the predictions, I was kind of split.
Games I would (and probably have) put money on (my picks in GREEN):
Kansas 24 @ Missouri 44 (Missouri -16)
Kansas 40 Missouri 37
Tulsa 48 @ Marshall 27 (Tulsa -16)
Tulsa 48 @ Marshall 27 (Tulsa -16)

Notre Dame 9 @ USC 45 (USC -33)

ND 3 USC 38
Maryland 13 @ Boston College 27 (BC -7)

Maryland 21 BC 28
Baylor 18 @ Texas Tech 55 (TT -22)
Baylor 18 @ Texas Tech 55 (TT -22)
Baylor 28 TT 35
Oklahoma 56 @ Oklahoma St 26 OVER (Oklahoma -8 and O/U 75)
Oklahoma 56 @ Oklahoma St 26 OVER (Oklahoma -8 and O/U 75)
Oklahoma 61 Oklahoma St 41 OVER
Syracuse @ Cincinnati (Cincinnati -22)
I am not sure if Cincinnati is that good. I know Syracuse is not very good and I am just overjoyed that they beat Notre Dame last week. I think Cincinnati is gonna win, just that they may not cover the spread.
Syracuse 10 Cincinnati 30
Tulane @ Memphis (Memphis -14)
Another game like the above game. Tulane is pretty bad, but I'm not positive that Memphis is gonna cover the spread.

Tulane 6 Memphis 45
Arkansas St @ N Texas (Arkansas St -20.5)
These Sun Conference teams are really hard to pick. N Texas is also really bad (1-10)but I don't know which Arkansas St team is going to show up to play this game. Plus, this is a home game for N Texas. Arkansas St to win, don't know if they are going to cover the spread.

Arkansas St 33 N Tx 28
Vanderbilt @ Wake Forest (WF -4)
Vanderbilt started off the season 5-0 and since then has gone 1-5. They had people saying that they would be the cinderella team this season. It is not to be. However, WF hasn't been all that good this season either. They have had some decent wins but they are in a 2 game losing streak.. who knows. I am picking WF but not with any confidence.
