Taking BOSIE STATE. 35pt win last year when Utah State had some Jordan Love at QB. Boise always a monster. Aggies look to have taken a step back under their HC. Want to get on the over 52 here. Just worried Utah State can't contribute and Boise scores a 40-7 win. 4* Money Maker BOSIE STATE 

Taking IOWA STATE. Team ranked 6 giving the ole 3.5 - Now, you know that normally when I see that 3.5 or 7.5 I am riding the fave. But in this case, I am going against my usual thinking. Because 1, I don't believe one iota that the OkSt is a Top 10 team. The defense is alright. But really. They needed a huge 13-0 4th quarter not to lose outright at home to Tulsa. I remember, I was laying 24 with them! They were out yarded. 14pt win at West Virginia (I was on WVa). Another phantom win and cover as they got a fumble return TD and scored with a little over a minute left to open things up. Time for a little revenge as the Cyclones lost at home as 11pt faves to Cowboys. 8* Sure Shot IOWA STATE 

4* Money Maker ALABAMA 

Taking INDIANA. Everyone going to say, oh, Penn State just has to win by a touchdown. Easy money. And yeah. PSU with some nice offensive talent. But the questions are on defense where they have just 4 returning starters. Hoosiers a bit better shape on that side of the ball. A lot of hype on Indiana as I see some 'top 25' mentions which I hate since that means the cat will be out of the bag soon enough if things go well. This is a pretty good team. They have held spring practices, PSU had none. Home dog gets it done. 5* Best Bet INDIANA HOOSIERS 

Taking TCU. Not high on Oklahoma at all this season. Yet oddsmakers still laying the wood with these guys thinking Baker, Murray and Hurts are behind center. Sooners 2-2 coming off that Texas win (we had the Longhorns). They need 4 OTs to pull that off or they would be sitting at 1-3 season. Give me some home dog love here. Plus +195 ML will get some action. Last year was 28-24 Sooners as 18pt faves. Patterson 14-4 ATS at home with rest. Sign me up. 5* Best Bet TCU

Taking KANSAS STATE. Wildcats 11-0 SU 8-3 ATS last 11 winning by nearly 26ppg. Off a bye week. Kansas in back to back roadies after losing last week at West Virginia 38x2 47x2 - Points Kansas is allowing in their 4 games. They've scored 17 more than once. Rivalry, ok. Will we be shocked when the score is 38-10 like last year? 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

Taking MARSHALL. Man. Gotta feel bad for some of these schools this Covid season. Poor Willie Taggart. Guy turns a 10-2 season at South Florida (24-25.. Hello, 16-20 at WKU prior) into the Oregon Ducks - goes 7-5, losing to Washington, Stanford and UCLA, plus Boise in a bowl. Goes to Florida State, 9-12. I'm 46. So I am Bobby Bowden raised in late 80/90s. 12 losses! That's like a decade of Noles losses in my mind. In fact his first year was their first losing year since Bowden's first year in 1976!. Now he's at Florida Atlantic. Following the Lane Train. Kiffen as bad as Jimbo with his antics. Why so much about Taggart. #1 - The guy is a bad coach. The records don't lie. It is there. and 2, he is picking programs in a down turn. #3. We saw at Oregon him getting outcoached and beat by better teams. Make no mistake, Marshall is the MUCH better team. Giving up less than 10ppg. LaTech, WKU, App State, EKU - I get it. It isn't some SEC/Big 10 non-conference schedule. But Florida Atlantic is, maybe, in the area of the teams they have dominated. 4* Money Maker MARSHALL
