Week 6 dawns with us looking up out of a big hole, a 15-21-1 record. I have to be perfect this week to back to .500 for the year.
Stop it...it could happen. Really, it could happen.
BYU -30 @ Utah State
You’re saying “there you go again with the big point spread” and you’re right. BYU is good, ranked #7 this week, really good. So we’re going to lay the points…and Utah State has been lit up really big a couple time already this season.
Penn State –14 @ Purdue
Joe Pa’s lads are flyin’ high this year, currently ranked #6, one of the two remaining unblemished Big 10 records. Shaun King said on ESPN last week that Penn State may have the best athletes of any Big 10 team, and they have been playing like it. Purdue, on the other hand, after a strong debut, has reverted to being predictable and rather uninspired. Penn State will cover.
Iowa @ Michigan State -6 1/2
Iowa has attracted enough money to push the line down 3 points. That’s a lot of money. If the Hawkeyes big running back Shonn Greene is playing, he can be the difference maker. On the other hand, Michigan State's big wheels is Javon Ringer, another outstanding running back. I think the home team squeaks out a cover.
Indiana @ Minnesota-7
Minnesota is 4-1 this year, 3-0 at home. They lost 34-21 last week at Ohio State. Indiana lost a track meet 42-29 to Michigan state. They’re going to the Metrodome, and it looks like Go Gophers. Minnesota by 2 TD’s.
Auburn @ Vanderbilt +4
Auburn cost us money last week, and Vanderbilt is seeking a 5-0 start and playing at home. Early money has been headed to Auburn, but as before, Vandy will be dandy and win this one outright.
Illinois +2 ½ @ Michigan
Michigan came back from the dead last week to win against Wisconsin. Illinois came back from a strong start to snag a loss last week at Penn State. I think Michigan used up their bullet last week and Coach Zook will have set the Illini’s backside afire. Illinois straight up.
Oregon Ducks +16 ½@ USC
I think that the Trojans are going to win the game, but the Ducks will push them all the way. Take the points here.
Quit laughing. We could be perfect this week.
