MP Week 8 CFB

[MParris86]

Guess I fell for some of these games others are leery of....

Anyways here's what I got. No real juicy writeups, I'm in VEGAS baby and am too drunk for particulars!:beerbang:

Michigan St -6.5 at Northwestern (2 units) WIN

I dunno...call it a trap game, call it NW being underrated or a spoiler, blah blah blah. Michigan State -as a team -is better than Northwestern by more than a touchdown. If the Spartans play a clean game they win by DD. NW could very easily be 3-3 or 2-4 considering the games they've played...against crap competition nonetheless. If Sparty is a real Big Ten championship contender like they've looked over the first half of the season they win this game 28-13 or thereabouts.

Western Michigan -7.5 at Akron (1.8 units) WIN

Another one you can call me crazy. But Akron is garbage and have yet to keep a game within single digits. WMU is coming off a loss at Notre Dame where they were at least able to move the ball at score some points. Akron should look like a JV team compared to them. WMU can throw the ball, whereas Akron can't move the ball through the air if their lives depended on it. The Zips have THREE (count 'em three) touchdown passes from their starting QB this season.

I'm against the grain on this one, but I don't think Akron will be able to keep it single digits. 34-21 WMU is my guess.



I'll add one or two more later in the week. GL everybody!!!! :booz:

Thanks rocjones...GL to you this week.

Adding:

Louisville -1.5 vs. UConn (2 units) WIN

UConn just suspended their starting QB this week & either a freshman will be making his first ever start or they'll go back to Zac Frazer who blows.

Huskies are 0-3 on the road. Louisville probably rarin' to go after a close loss to Cincinnati last week.

Sparty and Cards for me too! GL Tightend......big one in Dover Friday Night, they have to win this one to get the points to jump into the playoffs. No way next weeks game vs. N. Phila will help them......:thumbs:

that was an easy one fellas. I live near Akron and I know the coaches and players. They are struggling BIG TIME. They're young, they're still trying to learn a new system, and they have zero confidence. That game got out of hand early and it was all she wrote. Akron doesnt have the firepower to come back from 2-3 scores.
