Purdue -4 (Game of Year is on Purdue again)
Today in West Lafayette, the Seniors at Purdue will get their first win against Michigan. After a tough, but freaky loss to Wisconsin, Purdue will rally around their Seniors to ensure that they don't go out 0-4 against a more glamorous program in Michigan. Michigan should be tired and worn out on Saturday as they're playing their 3rd ROAD GAME in 4 weeks. The lone home game in this span was against Minnesota. With a freshman QB running the show and an inconsistent freshman RB, Michigan and their 2 key freshman starters will be overwhelmed at Purdue on Saturday. Purdue has a very strong running D, as they held Wisconsin RB Anthony Davis to a sub-par performance. They will play hard on Saturday and will hold Michigan freshman RB to limited yards, which will force the Wolves freshman starting QB to make costly mistakes in the air.
On the flip side, I must note that Michigan has one of the best defenses in the country. However, since they're playing their 3rd road games in 4 weeks, their D should be tired and should get a good whipping from one of the best offenses in the country. While Michigan running D is one of the best in the business (as they give up only 74 yards a game on the ground), Purdue passing game with Senior QB Kyle Orton leading the way is one of the best in the business. Michigan passing D is no joke as well, but Orton will atone for his costly fumble against Wisconsin last weekend as he will give a superb performance on Saturday against a very good passing defense. Because Purdue RB Jerod Void is not known to be a great back, this may be a blessing for Purdue as Michigan running D may not take him seriously so that Void may be able to penetrate and make some tough yards to take pressure off Orton as he will air it out.
The one question I have about this game is Purdue D is not as good as I want them to be for a team I play as my GOY, but because of Michigan young QB and young RB, I don't believe Purdue has to have a great D to stop them. A first year QB on the Road in a hostile environment usually smells trouble (ie. Michigan @ ND earlier in the year, UVA @ FSU last weekend, etc, etc) and I look for this trend to continue this weekend. Since Purdue strong link of their Defense is against the run, they will stop Michigan running game, which will make it impossible for a freshman QB to make enough plays to survive on the ROAD in a hostile environment. It is worth to mention that against a common opponent (ND in the same environment @ ND and arguably each being hated RIVALS of ND),Purdue blew out ND whereas Michigan lost miserably to ND). Michigan has struggled all year on the ROAD this year with their new freshman QB as they lost to ND, struggled to win at a weak Illinois team and beat Indiana, another bad team.
To summarize, a Senior QB playing at home with a good defense and an explosive offense against an opponent who will be playing their 3rd ROAD GAME in 4 weeks with a freshman starting QB and a freshman RB with triple revenge on their minds (Purdue Seniors are 0-3 against Michigan) should equate to an easy win, easily surpassing the point spread by 3 TDs or so.
Once again, GAME OF THE YEAR is on Purdue with similar yet different circumstances as last year.
Good luck everyone!!!!

PURDUE -4 (I'm with a_t_s on this one all the way to the bank!; the Boilers win this one by at least 2 TD's, and get some revenge against an overrated Michigan team, in my opinion, after getting crushed by 28 in Ann Arbor last year)

i must disagree with this play. i think this line is screaming trap all the way. Public is all over memphis right now at 80% and line hasn't moved at all. Cic. hasn't been stellar ats this year as they are 1-5 so far.
coming off an embarassing loss to army and an extra week to regroup as well.
a couple of stats as well. cic is 2-0 ats vs. memphis over the last three years. cic is 4-1 straight up vs. memphis at home over the last 12 years also.
this game is a trap in my eyes and if i didn't feel strong about it, i wouldn't post. Take cic +6 1/2 to the bank fellas. you might even want to consider the ml on this game. gl everyone and sorry albee again but i disagree with you bro.
p.s. i'm gonna start posting what i like for you guys as well a little more often. THe only reason why i don't is bc i feel bad if games lose and people bet them cause of me. However, i do win more than i lose and i can honestly say i probably hit around 60% of my games.
take my advice or don't but i'll never whine or complain about anything just want to pad my pocket a little more than i did the day before

I know finally a bad week but the rebound begins here at least for NCAA, NFL helped me big kinda like the SOX helped us all, YANKS SUCK!!!!
UAB -18 I know 18 points thats a lot right? Not here UAB is @ Tulane who sux they party all night every night don't focus on ball just play it because it's something too do when they are sober. UAB is 5-1 overall as well as 5-1 ATS and have beaten all the CUSA foes they have played so far Cincy, Memphis, and TCU. They are 3-0 as a favorite and 1-0 as an away favorite beating Mississippi St. 27-13. Tulane is 1-4 overall and 1-3 ATS, they have on the other hand lost all 3 of their games against CUSA foes even E. Carolina beat em and they suck. They are 1-3 as a dog and 0-1 as a home dog. So even though it's a high number UAB will steam roll them here I believe.
Virginia -25 I know another ridiculously high number but Virginia is pissed about getting steamrolled last week as am I and they want some pay back, Duke is the perfect team too face when u need a big win. Now Va. is 5-1 overall and 4-2 ATS we KNOW who they lost too so lets forget that they are 4-1 as a favorite and 1-0 as a road favorite beating Temple 44-14. Duke is 1-5 overall and 2-3 ATS they have been steamrolled by all 3 ACC opponents they have faced noting that Maryland beat them 55-21 @ Duke and Maryland doesn't seem too be much of a contender this year so that says a lot. Duke is 2-3 as a dog and 0-1 as a home dog again losing to Md. oh and by the way Maryland was giving 17 in that game! Virginia will rebound with a big time wooping here.
Also like:
Georgia -8 @ Arkansas Scares me a little b/c it is at Arkansas but this is a huge game for Georgia and they should roll them.
Tennessee -7 vs. Alabama Alabama on the road is not a good bet especially when they're top 2 QB's are hurt but they're D is tough so if it goes below 7 I'm all over it otherwise will take it for small money.
Memphis -6.5 @ Cincy Memphis is 1 of the best CUSA teams they're are only 4 good teams though and Cincy got streamrolled at home by Army who is not good but obv. are better than Cincy, so I like this one quite a bit too.
OKST +3.5 @ Missouri I know they choked like the Yanks last week but a turnaround is in the forecast here @ Missouri they will rebound with a big win.
GL boys beat em down
