Oh yeah!  CHA-CHING!  Over 50% for the first time in awhile.  This has been a weird wacky season!  This week has some very interesting games, so let's get to it!

MINNESOTA @ IOWA  IOWA - 14.5  LOSS

Hey!  Iowa is coming on!  Starting to win some games.  Meanwhile, Minnesota is just sucking this year.  Minnesota is giving up 549 yards a game! (Hey, that is worse than Nebraska)  So, with that in mind, I am taking Iowa minus the 14 1/2 points.  Go Hawkeyes!

KANSAS STATE @ NEBRASKA  KANSAS STATE - 7  LOSS

Oh yeah!  Another win for me!  Poor Huskers. :(  I feel bad for them, but I will take the profit in this one.  Nebraska is giving up more yards a game than Kansas State gets on offense.  This SHOULD be another high scoring game.  However, K-State's defense is a lot better than Nebraska's.  So, I have to go with K-State in this one.

ARKANSAS @ TENNESSEE  ARKANSAS PICK! LOSS

The line is even in this game, so I am going with Arkansas.  The Volunteers are giving up more than 60 yards more a game than the Razorbacks.  That is enough for me in at pick'em situation to make the call here. 

ILLINOIS @ OHIO STATE  OHIO STATE - 15  LOSS

Ohio State is at home and has not given up more than 17 points this season and is only allowing an average of 9.7 points a game.  Illinois Defense is allowing over 130 yards more a game than is Ohio State's defense.  The Buckeyes should be able to put them away just like they did Wisconsin last week. 

NAVY @ NORTH TEXAS  NAVY - 15.5  LOSS

Only 15 1/2 points?  Really?  Easy win for Navy on the road.

KANSAS @ OKLAHOMA STATE  KANSAS - 5.5  WIN

You know, Oklahoma State blew the Texas game.  Kansas on the other hand, blew out Nebraska.  Yes, I know Nebraska has no defense, but Oklahoma State just fell apart and they were playing at home.  Less than a touch down, I am going with the Jayhawks again.  I don't think they will score 76 points, but they will win by more than a touchdown.

Well it looks like that is all I have for this week. Air Force is playing Notre Dame at ND this week.  Air Force should win that game, but Notre Dame showed some signs against Navy last week, and Air Force really hasn't played anyone, so I am not going to come out and actually pick that one, but I think Air Force will win.  Hope everyone is doing great!!!
