I'd take UNT to cover in a heartbeat. Every team we've played has covered the spread except maybe Arkansas....the spread was right around the amount by which we lost (21).

That is my story and I might stick to it.

According to the Tulsa World, the Hurricane has had around 2 dozen freshmen see playing time this season. This includes freshmen of various flavors as in true freshmen, redshirt freshmen and greyshirt freshmen. No wonder Tulsa has played like crap the first third of the season. If which ever QB that plays this week can get some kind of consistent throwing game going. This should open up our running game. If that happens watch out!

I think Tulsa could revert to its usual 2005-2012 form at any time. I just hope it's not against us.

The chances of Cody Green playing this Sat. are not good with his injuries. Looking like the backup Evans will be playing. The thing with Evans is inexperience but he has a better throwing arm than Green. If he can get on the same page as his receivers and running backs he should be fine.

Marshall @ MTSU
Marshall SU
MTSU +8.5. Spread seems way too high for a road favorite, unless MTSU is imploding. Marshall by a TD.

Saturday 10/26/13
UTEP @ Rice
Rice SU
UTEP +17.5. Few too many points. UTEP isn't good, but they aren't nearly as bad as NMSU.

Tulsa @ Tulane
Tulane SU and +3.5. The oddsmakers do not like Tulane for some reason. Not even favored in at home.

UAB @ UTSA
UTSA SU
UAB +7. I thought this would be a UAB win in the preseason, but UTSA has impressed me. This would be their first home win of the season.

LaTech @ FIU
La Tech SU
FIU +5. FIU should be able to keep it close in a home game after a bye.

UNT @ USM
North Texas SU and -11

FAU @ Auburn
Auburn SU and -24. I'm guessing a final of 42-14.

FUTURES:

Troy @ WKU
Western Kentucky SU
Troy +10.5. Not calling WKU to cover any spread until they get a handle on their turnover issue.

ODU @ Norfolk State
Old Dominion SU

Charlotte @ Charl So.
Charleston Southern SU


Only picking two favorites, expecting a lot of close games this weekend.

8-2 SU this week, 72-30 season.
5-3 ATS this week, 40-40-1 season. I'm finally at .500, but my misses were bad this week (UAB, UTEP, and FIU).

Mitch Anderson kicked 31-yd FG for the Owls... But the game was way out-of-hand (38-0) before it happened.
