2 Oregon 6 0 47 Purdue had a nice game last week
  Purdue 1 5 7 but Oregon beat Ohio State.
           
  UNLV 5 1 40 I don’t understand how Vegas could have
  Oregon St. 4 2 23 this spread at a mere 5.5.
           
  Hawai’i 2 4 16 Everyone predicts WSU by 20+ but
  Washington St. 5 1 40 instinct tells me Hawai’i will do much better.
           
  Colorado St. 3 3 32 Air Force lost 18 starters in the
  Air Force 1 5 17 off season and it shows.
           
  Colorado 4 2 31 Bookmakers favor Arizona but I
  Arizona 3 3 24 think Savvy is right with Colorado.
           
8 LSU 5 1 33 This is the highest upset alert
  Arkansas 4 2 24 game on the board this week.
           
  E Carolina 3 3 12  
  Army 6 0 36  
           
  Kent St. 0 6 21 I sorta like the public’s betting
  Bowling Green 2 4 35 line of 20+ point spread.
           
  W Michigan 3 3 18 Buffalo should win this
  Buffalo 4 2 35 pretty handily despite Vegas’ 1.5 spread.

20 BYU 6 0 34 opposite directions.

  Arizona St. 5 1 26 ASU has struggled
  Cincinnati 4 2 27 in road games.
           
  Virginia 4 2 18 Virginia has enough momentum
7 Clemson 5 1 37 to reverse this into an uupset.
           
  Louisiana 5 1 34 Oddsmakers are much too low
  Coastal Car 4 2 25 in setting the spread at four points.
           
  Wake Forest 2 4 24  
  Connecticut 4 2 31  
           
  Florida St. 1 5 21  
  Duke 5 1 26  
           
  C Michigan 3 3 26 CMU doesn’t have the passing
  E Michigan 4 2 29 or defense to be favored.
           
  Kentucky 3 3 21 Florida must win this because the next
  Florida 3 3 24 four games are against ranked teams.
           
  James Madison 5 1 36 JMU will win because Georgia So.
  Georgia So. 4 2 22 is vulnerable against the run.
           
6 Notre Dame 5 1 32 Georgia Tech is solid throughout
  Georgia Tech 5 2 21 and good enough to win this.

25 Indiana 6 0 28  
           
  UCF 3 3 12 ISU is ranked top 10 by AP
18 Iowa St. 6 0 38 but that won’t last.
           
  Houston 2 4 24 This is a dead heat toss up. Kansas
  Kansas 1 5 25 gets the home field advantage.
           
19 Miami Fl 6 0 28 Savvy is pretty solid in this
15 Louisville 4 2 29 upset prediction.
           
  Georgia St. 2 3 23 Thursday game
  Marshall 3 3 31  
           
  USC 3 3 34 USC needs this after losing 3 of last 4
  Maryland 3 3 22 and not winning a road game all year.
           
  N Texas 5 1 21 Memphis will win but the Tigers have too many
  Memphis 5 1 40 negative trends to think they will keep winning.
           
  Ohio 4 2 19 Miami (Oh) is going to win its
  Miami Oh 2 4 23 next six straight games.

  Michigan St. 3 3 13  
           
  Kennesaw St. 0 5 23 Tuesday game
  Middle Tenn 1 5 32  
           
21 Texas A&M 5 1 40 Vegas set the spread at 15.
  Mississippi St. 1 5 13 It will be nearly double that.
           
  Auburn 2 4 17 Missouri is too inconsistent
  Missouri 5 1 34 to put much trust in their favored status.
           
  Charlotte 3 3 14 Both teams have tons of positive trends
  Navy 5 0 40 but Navy has qb Horvath who is on pace for 12oo rushing yards.
           
  Fresno St. 3 3 28 I personally think

  LA Tech 3 2 30 Tuesday game.
  New Mexico St. 1 5 23  
           
  Toledo 4 2 28 Bookies say Northern
  N Illinois 4 2 21 Illinois will win.
           
  Wisconsin 4 2 28 Experts say UW by 6.5 at 41.5
  Northwestern 3 3 17 but both will be higher.
           
  S Carolina 3 3 22 SoCar has lost to all three ranked
22 Oklahoma 4 2 28 opponents its played this year.
           
  Texas St. 4 2 39  
  Old Dominion 2 4 17  
           
  UCLA 1 5 20 I wonder if UCLA admins are still okay being in
  Rutgers 4 2 25 the Big Ten after two back-to-back, coast-to-coast trips.
           
  W Kentucky 4 2 29 Wednesday game.
  Sam Houston 5 1 25  
           
  Wyoming 1 5 13 Wyoming has a lot of momentum
  San Jose St. 4 2 40 so this could be one possession all the way.
           
  Troy 1 5 27 Tuesday game
  S Alabama 2 4 28  
           
  Arkansas St. 3 3 29  
  S Miss 1 5 23  
           
14 SMU 5 1 45  
  Stanford 2 4 12  
           
  Tulsa 1 5 26 Experts say total points will be
  Temple 1 5 32 52.5 but these teams will top that.
           
10 Alabama 5 1 27 Bookies seem set on Alabama to
12 Tennessee 5 1 29 win this but I agree with Savvy… Tenn wins.
           
5 Georgia 5 1 22 Texas has fantastic trends on Savvy.
1 Texas 6 0 30 Longhorns have given up just one td pass.
           
  Baylor 2 4 20 TTU will get its sixth win but the Raiders
  Texas Tech 5 1 40 haven’t played any ranked teams.
           
  Rice 2 4 12 I think everyone has this wrong.
  Tulane 4 2 45 Rice will make this game competitive.
           
  UAB 1 5 24 This should be a
  USF 2 4 35 very reliable predition.
           
  TCU 3 3 24 Everyone says Utah will win.
  Utah 4 2 34 I personally say TCU.
           
  New Mexico 2 4 36  
  Utah St. 1 5 34  
           
  Florida Intl. 2 4 27 Wednesday game.
  UTEP 0 6 26 I think FIU wins by 10+.

  UTSA 2 4 28  
           
  Ball St. 2 4 10  
  Vanderbilt 4 2 47  
           
  Boston Col 4 2 23 I personally think the betting lines
  Virginia Tech 3 3 25 have a better spread at 7+.
           
9 Kansas St. 5 1 33 KSU is trending downward strikingly fast.
  W Virginia 3 3 21 Expect an upset loss some time in October.
