Go Green!! The Big Ten continues its Big Ten round robin CFP Play In games. The winner of the MSU OSU game takes the lead in the Big Ten east but there are still more tests next week For State its Penn State. For Ohio State it’s scUM.
And another Game day appearance for the Spartans. I wonder which archrival Desmond picks. Not that it matters – he’s a moron.
Michigan State +19 @ Ohio State – Yeah, I know, the Spartan pass defense sucks statistically – dead last actually. But the stat is a bit misleading. They have played bend but don’t break with teams passing down the field. But if they make stops in the red zone like against Miami (FL) they win. If they don’t, like against Purdue – they lose. It’s the key to the game. Will the BuckNuts get FGs or TDs.
And K9 shines in the big moments. Just ask scUM. Last time they saw him it was from the back as he scored his 5th TD.
Solid teams can keep it close against Ohio State. Penn State kept it within kept it within 9 , Nebraska also kept it within 9 and Minnesota within 14. State should be able to keep it within 19. No quatloos though. I never bet the Spartans.
And this one is for you Chris. We were watching this one with the gang under the Outdoor Ampitheatre

Can Cincinnati handle a passing attack? Of course, that wasn't the only State win in the Shoe - who can forget Renaldo Hill's pick in 1998. So I'm saying there's a chance!
Some other games of interest -
SMU +10.5 @ Cincinnati – Look, I’m all in with Cincinnati going to the CFP if they win out, including a win over Houston in the American Championship. But they really haven’t been putting teams away. And looking at their record, other than Notre Dame, they have yet to beat a team that has a win over a Power Five team, that includes you Indiana.
Cincinnati is legit though. They rank 6th in scoring defense and QB Desmond Ritter has been improving as the season goes on. That said, they have yet to face a team that can throw like SMU.
The spotlight will be on for the BearCats in what should be the 2nd best game of the weekend. I’ll take the Mustangs and the points but just a quatloo. SMU has gagged in these spots in the past.
Arkansas is too one dimensional Arkansas +21.5 @ Alabama – If Bama plays like it did against LSU, hello Cincinnati to the CFP. But if they play they way they are capable then they should win easily. Arkansas has a solid defense but does not get to the QB. The offense is one dimensional too, relying on the run. Saban is a smart coach. He’ll give the green light to Bryce Young and then force the Hogs to play catch up.
I’ll lay the three TDs but no quatloos.
I will lay some quatloos on these games though
South Florida over 60.5 @ Tulane – Two of the worst defenses in college football. USF is 115th is scoring defense. In Div 1A play, they are getting beat, on average 38-27. Tulane is even worse at 119th, losing by an average 38-27. That makes the average score against, let’s see, carrying the one, divide by two and, oh yeah, 38. Which means that the score should be, um carry the one and - equals 76. Not sure they will get to 76. The USF QB has been throwing at a 50% clip over the last two games with 4 picks but they should let up 60 combined.

Clemson won't be able to keep up with the flying Deacons Wake Forest ML +170 @ Clemson – Clemson’s defense will keep them in the game but the offense won’t be able to keep up. WtF wins this one outright.
Rock gets to crow again
UT San Antonio -4.5 vs UAB – This game is for the CUSA West title. The Roadrunners are doing it with offense and defense ranking 12th points scored and 19th in points allowed. UAB has a solid defense but not enough offense to keep pace. UTSA is having a magical season going 10-0 so far. The magic continues at home.
UL Lafayette ML +165 @ Liberty – Apparently the odds makers are not impressed with Louisiana. They are going for their 10th straight victory versus a 7-2 record for Liberty. The Ragin Cajuns win the game outright behind their much better defense and excellent running game.
Baylor ML +100 @ Kansas State – Baylor has found something with their tandem RBs Abram Smith and Tretan Ebnar. The Bears have the nations 4th best rushing attacked. Kansas State is statistically very good against the run but the last time they faced a good running team they lost by 13 to Iowa State. Baylor is better than ISU.

Meet your next Lion - Kayvon Thibodeux Oregon ML +135 @ Utah – The talking heads will have you believe that the Ducks peaked with their won over Ohio State back in September and the Utah is the hotter team. That since QB Cameron Rising was inserted as QB the Utes have gone 6-1 crushing the likes of UCLA, USC, and Arizona State. All true but The Lions next #1 draft pick, star pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeux will be a huge challenge for Rising. And the Utah defense is not quite the defense of years past. I’ll go with the money line here as Oregon stays in contention for the CFP.
And for a what the heck parlay +189
Western Kentucky ML vs Florida Atlantic
Minnesota ML @ Indiana
Wisconsin ML vs Nebraska
Miami (FL) ML vs Virginia Tech
