I admit my pick with the bungles was bad. If I bet any more NFL till replacement refs are gone and I get shorty officiating I have no one to blame but myself. Bungles D is aweful but come on already.

VT -10 @ Pitt

I said last week that Pitt would cover against VT. VT looked like garbage last week against Austin Peay. Pitt moved the ball against Cincy, but were their own worst enemy with stupidity in the red zone and awful QB play. For Pitt, that's a 12pm kickoff at home in a half (more?) empty stadium with no atmosphere. Ugly, ugly game here. That line is screaming to still take VT, and you know what that means.

KState notorious for their playing opossum, and North Texas won't be intimidated at all going into Manhattan after already being LSU's home opener. They actually performed pretty well against the Tigers, so I think this is a combination of KState not trying to do too much and North Texas going for that backdoor cover. Buyer beware.

I really think Houston covers that number. Looked much better last week in terms of having an offense and UCLA is in an awful spot having just won the big game against Nebraska and the PAC12 opener next week against Oregon State. An 0-2 Houston team is not going to get UCLA's best effort, with losses to Texas State (blown out by Texas Tech) and Louisiana Tech (riiiiiiiiiiiiiight). Easily see this one as a letdown for UCLA where they do enough to win, while Houston pulls an Arkansas State and keeps working on getting the offense clicking with the new coordinator.
 
Franklin and Hundley torch that Cougar D, I expect that line to go up. UH has gottn gashed on the ground by TS and LaTech, UCLA will get 7-8 yards a carry, and if/when that QB throws it 75 times, bad things will happen

Wouldn't touch KSU or VT
