Following Husker's lead, feeling pretty good about these ones. I like a lot of road teams in Week 10.

Duke +7.5 @ North Carolina
Florida State +10.5 @ Clemson
Indiana +7 vs. Iowa (Hoosiers win outright)
Michigan State -6 @ Nebraska
Gophers +24 @ Ohio State
Texas Tech +8.5 @ West Virginia
Utah -1.5 @ Washington
 

If Indiana beats Iowa, that will ensure an extension for Wilson. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Indiana won outright. They have the sort of offense that could give Iowa fits and Iowa isn't a great come from behind team. I would be surprised if Nebraska beat the spread. I think their team has given up (wish we played them last game of the year). Florida St will give Clemson a game. That's a pretty big spread for against a team that was in the CFP last year.

Texas Tech is interesting, but after watching them give up 70 last week, I don't trust their defense playing Georgia St. And I'd never bet on our team, because too much emotion. I could see it going either way. I could see us losing an embarrassing 56-3 game as well. So depends the mindset of the team that shows up.
 

IU, Wilson

I like Wilson, and hope Indiana keeps him. I know they're 0-4 in the Big Ten, but the Hoosiers are not a bad team at all. The defense has improved some, I know that's not saying much, and they have a really good OL and a lot of weapons on offense. I see a lot of improvement in that program under Wilson, even if the current record doesn't show it. I don't think IU should just shuck it and start all over again.

I agree they should keep him. He's recruiting the kind of team that could win some games in that half of the Big Ten. He's recruited some pretty highly rated defensive guys too. They just have a Mason like ability to flush a game they are in position to win right down the toilet. I mean epic collapses (including against us 2 years ago). They could have easily beat Michigan St earlier this year and then got blown out late. I'm sure it would be very frustrating to be a Hoosier football fan...

Wouldn't call it epic given we were leading 35-13 at one point...

Well we collapsed too. We were dominating that game and could have won by 40 or so. But when we started to collapse, I had the Gopher Fan "Here we go again". Normally when we collapse, we don't win. That game was there for Indiana to win in the end...
 

I like your picks aside from the first. UNC is on fire. I could see them winning comfortably.

Stanford -16 @ Colorado
USC -17 v. Arizona
TCU -5 @ OSU
La Tech -30 v. North Texas State
MSU -6 @ Nebraska
LSU +7 @ Alabama
 

Dr.Don (22-13 ) LSU +7 @ Alabama.

Friday night win. Temple covered vs SMU.

Ala handled LSU, loss. Now (22-14, 62.9%)
 



Going with these games:

Indiana +7
Alabama -6.5
Nebraska +5.5
Maryland +12.5
NW -2.5

I've hemmed and hawed all week about Minn +24. If the Gophers can run we should cover, feel like Ohio state scores 28-38...big concern is that our offense just can't move the ball.
