Ohio State (-22) VS. MINNESOTA:
Ohio State has
played much better than anyone expected as their defense is one of the
best unit’s in all of college football. This Buckeyes defensive squad
has controlled every game they have played so far this year and they
will be able to clamp down on a decent Gophers attack. Ohio State’s
offense is not up to par with their defense but they have been just
good enough to give this team the look of past great Buckeyes teams.
Although this number might be a tad high due to their offensive
inconsistency, the Ohio State defense is so dominant that they will be
able to control this one throughout. THE PICK: Ohio State (-23.5)Ohio

West Virginia (-7) VS. SOUTH FLORIDA:
The
Mountaineers visit USF in a nationally televised Friday night game that
will go a long way towards deciding Big East supremacy. The success of
West Virginia was not unexpected but the great play of South Florida
has been surprising. They have played great defense on their way to an
upset win on the road against Auburn. Of course they will have their
hands full with the dynamic duo of QB Pat White and RB Steve Slaton.
West Virginia has been an offensive machine this year, habitually
marching up and down the field with ease. These two are quite possibly
the biggest game breakers in college football and when you throw in
freshman sensation Noel Devine, it becomes clear that USF will have to
play the game of their lives to win this one. Go with the Mountaineers
to once again shine on the national stage. THE PICK: West Virginia (-7)
BOISE STATE (-10) VS. Southern Mississippi:
Boise
State has been a very good home team over the years as they are 20-4
ATS in their 24 such games. Their offense is not even close to the
level they were at in storming the NCAA the last two years but they
still can move the ball with good efficiency. Southern Miss also has
struggled defensively and they should yield some big yardage to State.
Boise State also has a nice advantage on defense as they have played
well all year and should limit a weak Southern Miss offense. Bank on
the fact Boise State plays well in front of the home crowd on national
television. THE PICK: Boise State (-10.5)
