Since I have Tunnel Vision for the Blue; I just saw that MT is 5 point dog to Vanderbilt. Should motivate the Raiders that they get no respect against the worst team in the SEC. Anybody else in CUSA getting dissed in Week two?

UTEP is 26 point underdogs to ut-austin. I say it'll be by 8-10 points.

FAU are 16.5 to 17.5 dogs to Miami. Personally, I think we should be even bigger dogs, because Miami looks scary good under Richt and we, clearly, did not impress against the SIU Salukis.

I hope and pray you're right. Watching UT-Austin last night has me worried we'll be lucky to keep it within the posted spread. UTEP's D seemed to 'peter' out mid-way through the 3rd quarter against NMSU. If that occurs on Saturday in Austin, I shutter at the thought of the final score.

Opportunity for some upsets... I hope.

Rice 9 point dog at Army
Maryland 10 point fave at FIU
WKU 28.5 point dog at Bama
Middle 5 point dog at Vandy
FAU 24 point dog at Miami
UTEP 26 point dog at Texas
UTSA 12 point dog at Colorado State

Like I said in another site "IF" Kugs uses all his weapons we might be able to make it an exciting game. IF he uses Aaron for all his plays it'll be a ROUT.

Agreed. Clock management will be UTEP's key to success.

No respect? Did you expect us to be favored?

+28 point dog to Bama is some respect for WKU nationally. Here is to hoping we beat the spread and make a game of it

Actually I did expect us to be favored. But, I'm not objective. If I were Objective, I would have rated it a TOSS-UP! What did you expect the spread to be?

Well when you consider home field advantage is supposed to be worth 3 points, a 5 point spread is a virtual toss up.

The line is right about where I expected, as much as +7 wouldn't have surprised me and I thought it would have been at least +3.

It depends how their qb responds after getting hit hard a few times. I dont think WKU beat the spread against LSU either

I like Army to cover the spread against Rice

Tech could cover also

Southern Mississippi 56.5 point favorite over Savannah State

I knew Savannah St was pretty bad but not this bad:

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball...state-54-0


Georgia Southern had 7 players suspended yet had 605 total yards and only allowed 115 yards in the 54-0 win against them

56.5 is incredible, I would stay away from that one. Hopson might want to play the 2 guys in the second half

I like Rice + 9.

I would have thought the same before week 1, but Army beat Temple by 2 touchdowns in Philly and Rice vs WKU wasnt pretty

\We did a lot better against the run. Army didn't pass much at Temple.
