Week 10
(Wednesday, November 4th ) – Buffalo Vs N. Illinois
(Vegas Buffalo -10.5 ) (Game Picker Buffalo by 18.63 )
The Mid American Conference will finally get started this week with 6 games scheduled for Wednesday night. Buffalo ended the season strong last year winning 5 out of their last 6 games and return 15 starters. This will be a rebuilding year for N. Illinois with only 4 starters returning on defense. Buffalo should be able to run the ball at will with the 8th ranked running backs and 40th ranked offensive line in the country out of 130 teams preseason. The experienced teams have fared extremely well against inexperienced teams in the early games because of the lack of practice time. Look for Buffalo to cover the spread in this one.
(Thursday, November 5th ) – Wyoming Vs Colorado St.
(Vegas Wyoming -3.5 ) (Game Picker Wyoming by 9.01
Colorado St laid an egg in their opener against Fresno St. getting rolled 38-17. Wyoming, on the other hand, blew out Hawaii 38-7 last week. Wyoming has a strong returning offensive line (31st) and veteran group of running backs (33rd) and should be able to run the ball effectively on Colorado St. Colorado St is breaking in a new coaching staff which has proven to be difficult in the age of the Covid-19. Look for Wyoming to cover the spread in this one.
(Saturday, November 7th ) – Arizona St. Vs Southern Cal
(Vegas Southern Cal -10.5 ) (Game Picker Southern Cal by 16.11 )
The PAC-12 conference is also kicking off this week. USC was supposed to open the season in a matchup against Alabama which was ultimately canceled. This is another case of an extremely experienced team (USC with 17 returning starters) opening up against a team with only 4 returning starters on offense. USC has solid talent across both the offensive and defensive side of the ball and will want to make a statement in this game after having to start in the 10 week of the season. USC should have a high flying offense with the 4th ranked QB in Kedon Slovis and the 2nd ranked receivers unit in the country. Look for USC to cover the spread in this one.
(Saturday, November 7th ) – Arkansas St. Vs La Lafayette
(Vegas La Lafayette -14 ) (Game Picker La Lafayette by 15.54
La Lafayette has had a roller coaster year after beating Iowa St. in its opener and then having its team ravaged by the Covid-19. Fortunately La Lafayette is back to having a healthy team with all of its key players back. La Lafayette will matchup extremely well Arkansas St as Arkansas St. is pretty much a pass only team and La Lafayette brings the 9th ranked pass defense in the country. La Lafayette will be able to move the ball at will on the ground with its 20th ranked rush offense against the 60th ranked rush defense of Arkansas St. Look for La Lafayette to cover the spread in this one.
(Saturday, November 7th ) – Texas Tech Vs TCU
(Vegas TCU -8.5 ) (Game Picker TCU by 14.95 )
TCU has played a much tougher schedule than Texas Tech and still ranks higher in every statistical category. TCU has a balanced offense that will be able to expose the Texas Tech defense that gave up over 60 points to both Texas and Oklahoma. TCU has traditionally been a good defensive team and this year is not different. TCUs pass defense should be able to slow down the pass first Texas Tech Red Raiders offense. Look for TCU to cover the spread in this one at home.
(Saturday, November 7th ) – W. Kentucky Vs Florida Atl.
(Vegas Florida Atl. -6.5 ) (Game Picker Florida Atl. by 13.98 )
W. Kentucky has been horrible on the offensive side of the ball this year ranking 66 out of 77 on rush offense and 69th out of 77 on pass offense. Florida Atl. has had a solid defense 11th in rush defense and 31st in pass defense. That combination should yield W. Kentucky limited points. Florida Atl. should be able to move the ball on the ground efficiently with its 40th ranked rush offense going up against the 58th ranked rush defense of W. Kentucky. Look for Florida Atl. to cover the spread in this one at home.
