A couple unlisted late CFB plays and NFL picks salvaged an otherwise dismal 1-2-1 week 8 CFB listed plays.
Moving on...
Week NINE
Kansas -2.5 at Texas A&M (2.5 units) WIN
I'm going to ride the Kansas train until the wheels fall off. Scoring over 45ppg and showing they can win on the road. Aggies haven't proved much to me yet, folding up like a cheap tent in a couple of their bigger games this year.
Washington -4 vs. Arizona (2.5 units) LOSS
The Huskies are due for a win after that ridiculously brutal stretch of games. Boise State, OSU, UCLA, USC, Arizona State and Oregon all in a row. They have been in each of those games and can play with the big boys. Arizona will seem like a JV team. Plus they are at home against a team struggling to score points during the Wildcats' 3-game losing streak.
Troy -4 at Arkansas State (3 units) WIN
Troy is atop the Sun Belt standings and have rolled through the conference thus far. They have won by 17, 17, 18, and 38 points in their conference games and are riding a 5-game win streak. They have the best player on the field in QB Omar Haugabrook, who has thrown for 1925 yards (275 ypg). Arkansas State upset them last year and forced Troy to tie for the conference title. I think they will remember that.
MY PLAY OF THE YEAR....
Central Michigan -2.5 at Kent State (5 units) WIN
I know, I know...CMU just got lambasted by Clemson 70-14. But they can score some points and are actually leading the MAC West race. They need this game to keep their lead and eyes on a MAC title game appearance. A win over an injury-riddled Kent State team would help out. QB Julian Edelman was lost for the season with a broken arm.
I doubled down on this one after consulting with one of my colleagues who covers KSU...He said that a true freshman will be starting at QB for the Flashes, both starting safeties are out for KSU and one of the starting cornerbacks will be moving to safety, leaving a backup at one CB.
He said, and I quote: "There is nothing that should keep Kent State closer than a field goal. I'd be surprised to see it closer than 35-7 or so."
That's enough convincing for me. Plus JoePa is all over it like a fat kid at a candy shop! GO CHIPPEWAS! :booz:
