Utah Utes vs BYU Cougars
-30 SPREAD +30
57 OVER / UNDER 57
Give me the BYU Cougars to come out flying in this game, covering the +30 against the Utes. BruisedBagel has put together some great games even though some have resulted in losses. Being able to take many teams to the wire like Kansas state, UNC, and Arizona while also shutting out OSU shows that they are ready for this rivalry game. There is no chance they get beat by 35, I would be willing to put my weekly allowance and I would clean my room if Marion finds a way to cover the -30 point spread. I think the under is going to be cashing out in this game, as I think it will be a slower and more defensive game. The rivalry is going to have the tensions high and the defenses flying around.
BYU @ Kansas
Game Lines:
BYU Cougars vs Kansas Jayhawks
+1 SPREAD -1
54 OVER / UNDER 54
This game is projected to be a very close on and could go either way. The matchup predictor has the chances of Kansas winning at 51.3% giving them the slight advantage. I know I might sound a bit biased here going with Kansas to cover the spread but they have such a good offense with Devin Neal and Jalon Daniels, I think they are going to be able to control the trenches in this one and win by more than 1 point, I would call it a 3-7 point game , coming down to the last drive. Don't be shocked if BYU is able to pull of the upset though. I don't like the defenses of both teams so I am going to have to take the over 54 points. Kansas and BYU only having a 82 ovr defense is going to hurt them and these offenses are going to go down the field at will.
Kansas @ Iowa State
Game Lines:
Kansas Jayhawks vs Iowa State Cyclones
+0.5 SPREAD -0.5
52 OVER / UNDER 52
I think this game should be a good one as these teams try to maintain only 1 conference loss on the season. This might not be a game of the week or one that is highlighted on everyone's board, but this is going to be a battle. ISU is coming off a loss to Texas Tech but has shown signs of his younger self when he was able to upset Iowa in that rivalry game. I think that Iowa State is a great offense and if they play to their strengths they might not be stopped in this one. Looking at the teams though, Iowa state passes the ball a lot more than I expected and I think that the loss to Texas Tech is going to kill their momentum they had this season, so give the Kansas to cover the +.5. With that being said, in order to keep up with eachother, this is going to be more of an air raid game and there should be plenty of deep shots and one play touchdowns. Give me the over 52 points in this one.
Iowa State @ Cincinnati
Game Lines:
Iowa State Cyclones vs Cincinnati Bearcats
-6 SPREAD +6
49 OVER / UNDER 49
I am very shocked to see that Iowa State is the favorite to win this game and the line being at -6. Cincinnati looks like a team that would have one of the worst defenses in the conference but instead they are ranked 14th in Massey rating for defense. I think seeing the history of Steam and knowing his skill level, along with the performance he is putting up this season with a 74 overall defense, he should be able to win this game and cover the spread against ISU. I am unsure how this game is going to go pint wise, because of the great defensive statistics of the Bearcats I'm going to have to say its going under 49 points although he has only had a few games where the total was under 49.
Texas Tech @ Colorado
Game Lines:
Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Colorado Buffaloes
+7 SPREAD -7
62 OVER / UNDER 62
Colorado is a big favorite in this game but these teams both have only 1 loss and it is only 1 in conference. This game is going to be a big game deciding who is going to have a good chance at the conference championship game. I think the lines for this one are a bit crazy. The tough loss against Cincinnati is going to hurt Colorado and could cause them to fall a bit in the rankings and put a lot more pressure on the buffaloes. I would take the underdog in this one once against, as I think that there is a very good chance that this game becomes a huge upset and the Red Raiders come out on top. The matchup predictor says Colorado has a 70% chance to win but I think this is more delusional than a cowboys fan. This seems more like a 50/50 game to me. There are some great teams and I expect this to be a shootout, where the least amount of turnovers is going to win this one so give me the over 62 points.
Kansas State @ Arizona State
Game Lines:
Kansas State Wildcats vs Arizona State Sun Devils
-13 SPREAD +13
67 OVER / UNDER 67
I really like Kansas state this season and I think they have been playing really good. I would take them to cover the -13 spread in this game, shutting down the Sun Devils. ASU is coming off of a good win against Kansas, winning by more than one score, but KSU should be able to shut down Skattebo. I think this game is going to be a close one going into the half but a few turnovers right after or before halftime are going to turn the tides in KSU's favor. ASU has been able to put up some big numbers in the points forced category this season and their defense isn't very good so I think this game going to be able to cash the over 67 points.
Arizona @ Houston
Game Lines:
Arizona Wildcats vs Houston Cougars
-7.5 SPREAD +7.5
60.5 OVER / UNDER 60.5
I love picking the underdog in most games but I don't think there is a chance that the wildcats offense gets held back by Houston in this one. Big Brian has been able to put up some big numbers against some good teams like Colorado and Duke this season and Houston has the 78th ranked Massey for offense. I think the offense is going to be the deciding factor in this one and Arizona wins by 2-3 scores, capitalizing on a few mistakes from Houston. Like I stated already, the Wildcats have been able to put up a large amount of points with that offense and Mcmillan catching the ball so I think the game goes over 60.5 points.
TCU @ OSU
Game Lines:
TCU Horned Frogs vs Oklahoma State Cowboys
-8 SPREAD +8
60 OVER / UNDER 60
Although these are some teams who sit at the bottom of the conference, we shall use this game as an opportunity to get some extra money for candy. TCU is still searching for their first win on the season while OSU only has 2 wins. This seems like a pretty even matchup based on the season these teams are having but BradySenior has proven himself to be able to show up when he was with Oregon State. Vicktim doesn't have a terrible offense and has lost some games by one score to teams like UCF and UNLV. I think this is another one of those games where the game is decided by one score, forcing me to take the OSU spread of +8 to cover. A few bucks on this could get me a gumball or two. In the few games that TCU has played that he lost by one score, the there was over 60 points scored in most of them. I think history repeats itself and this game is a high scorer and goes over 60.
OSU @ Ole Miss
Game Lines:
Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Ole Miss Rebels
+56.5 SPREAD -56.5
62.5 OVER / UNDER 62.5
THIS IS EASY MONEY. I am putting my life savings on this one, as there is no chance that OSU loses by more than 56 points. I wouldn't be shocked if I get thrown in timeout for putting so much money on this game and taking advantage of the sports book. In all honesty, Ole Miss is one of if not the best team this season and there is a very good chance he is able to 35 point OSU. With that being said, I think Ole Miss is limited to only 35-42 points as there defense holds OSU to 1-2 scores in the whole game. Give me the under on the points.
Arizona State @ UCF
Game Lines:
Arizona State Sun Devils vs UCF Knights
-24 SPREAD +24
57 OVER / UNDER 57
I think that the Matchup predictor is completely wrong, saying that there is a 99% chance that ASU wins this game. I think that the website it putting way to much disrespect on UCF's name and they 100% have a chance at winning. We all know it is any given Sunday... Or whatever day these guys decide to play. I am going to take the over on this game and the -24 pints spread though as there is no way the 112th Massey ranked defense for UCF is able to stop Skattebo in this one. I think he breaks multiple 20+ yard runs and leads ASU to a blowout win.
That is going to be the last of the games for the Big 12, but there are some other very exciting games like Colorado @ Utah and Liberty @ UCF but these games would not load the predictor and the game Lines. I am very excited to see the Colorado @ Utah game and I would expect this to be a -.5, +.5 type of game and I don't even know who I would be able to go with. Marion County has the #4 offense in Massey rating and the Colorado defense might not be able to stop them. Good luck to you all and hopefully I don't get caught gambling *wink wink*.
