I've added a few potential games that I'm looking at for my underdog contest this week. I've got them in a rough order of what I'm leaning towards.

1. BYU +14 at Notre Dame - See some people liking it. Could see ND looking ahead, but when I've watched BYU they have struggled offensively and have a hard time seeing them scoring on ND's defense in South Bend.

2. Toledo +7 Cincy - Seeing people here liking it. Can agree Toledo will be jacked up for this one. Cincy actually seems fairly solid to me though, and seems like it should be more points than 7.

3. Baylor +9.5 at Texas - Baylor narrowly lost at WVA. WVA went to Texas and won. Baylor should score a bunch of points (Texas has given up a ton to WVA and OU). Don't know how Texas will respond to that thrashing by OU last week. They might come out inspired. They might come out deflated.

4. Utah +10.5 at Oregon St - Mannion is out for the Beavers right? The backup looked good last week, but still seems like a bad thing. Utah's QB is done as well, and their freshman backup didn't play well at UCLA last week (but am encouraged that they still narrowly lost with him playing bad). And his backup did well in beating Oregon St last year by 20 or so.

5. Iowa St +13.5 at Okie State - They beat them last year. Is Okie State really any good?

6. Duke +10.5 UNC - Duke should be up for this game like Toledo is in theirs. UNC strikes me as solid, but nothing spectacular. A motivated double digit dog at home always has potential.

7. Boston College +14 at Ga Tech - If GT can lose at home to Middle Tenn they can lose to anyone. A team that seems to be reeling. Just don't really think BC is worth very much either.

8. Michigan St +10 at Michigan - Just never have bought into this Michigan team very much. Rivalry game that can produce odd results. If MSU can run the ball they could be in it.

9. Middle Tenn +20 at Miss State - Middle won at Ga Tech so they at least have a good game on the road in them. Just the kind of game that Miss St doesn't take seriously and sleepwalks. Still not a game I would probably play because it's asking too much.



Thoughts? I'm probably leaning toward one of those first 4.

Craf, I took Iowa St. and Baylor for similar reasons. I stayed away from the Michigan game. MSU might be looking ahead to Bama.
 
With all the sharps driving down the line in the Oregon game, I'm feeling pretty comfortable about taking Oregon -7.5. Hated it at double digits, but feel at a touchdown, I've got a good chance, just hate Thursday night games in college football goign against the big home underdog. I'm also considering a ladies room bet- I think Oregon's defense is much better than people give it credit for, and Arizona State's has been strong to start this season. A 35-24 type game seems about right to me.

I'm taking the Houston-SMU o58. Houston burned me last week, but I'm thinking they'll be able to move the ball jsut as well against SMU as they did UAB, but instead of kicking 6 field goals inside of 30 yards, they'll get some touchdowns. UAB also had a few costly turnovers last week, especially in the redzone, and I think SMU will hold up better.


Thursday Night:

1. Seattle/SF u39
2. Oregon -7 (bought the half point)
3. Oregon/ASU u69 (will wait until game time to see if can get more)
4. Houston/SMU o58.5 *2

I know it's the wrong play, but Oregon has something to prove tonight.
