Rice 1-3 (0-1) @ Wake Forest 2-2 (0-1) WAKE -25.0 3:30PM
MY LINE: WF 37-20 Rice is trash... and a road game @ Wake isn't the cure for getting out of their rut.
REALITY SAID: Wake 56-24 OWNAGE. Man, what is up with Rice football?
1-0

Old Dominion 1-3 (0-2) @ East Carolina 1-2 (0-1) ECU -5 3:30PM
MY LINE: ECU 31-21 ECU D has been great and ODU must have caught VT sleeping to pull off that HUGE home blowout over the Hokies. I also think that win might put ODU in a weird spot of riding that high then having to take that momentum on the road.
REALITY SAID: ECU 37-35 I personally thought this was a great game to take in with all that was going on. The Pirates might finally be back to having great defenses like we had during the Greg Hudson era BUT what is scaring me is the offense. Reid threw some really bad INTs and doesn't look to check off his progressions still, still telegraphing where he is throwing it and while the Ahlers package gets some big plays, until we get the threat of a decent pass from him mixed in it will get schemed against better.
2-0

Southern Miss 2-1 (1-0) @ #10 Auburn 3-1 (1-1) AUB -27 4:00PM
MY LINE: Auburn 34-18 Back in the day, I'd have given USM a better shot at an upset but my theory still holds-- non-P5 @ P5 and SEC at that means the odds are not in your favor to pull it off.
REALITY SAID: Auburn 24-13 Kept it closer than I thought.
3-0

UTEP 0-4 (0-0) @ UTSA 1-3 (0-0) UTSA -10.5 7:00PM
MY LINE: UTSA 31-20 UTEP is just too bad for me to even consider them beating another bad team in UTSA.
REALITY SAID: UTSA 30-21 SO CLOSE on the correct score.
4-0

Charlotte 2-2 (0-0) @ UAB 2-1 (0-0) UAB -17 7:00PM
MY LINE: UAB 28-23 Charlotte has been improving of late but I think UAB has a better shot getting this considering its a home game.
REALITY SAID: UAB 28-7 Not sure if I am surprised by the ownage or not.
5-0

Florida Atlantic 2-2 (0-0) @ Middle Tennessee 1-2 (0-0) FAU -5 7:00PM
MY LINE: FAU 31-23 In one way, I can see this being close, in another way I bet FAU brings the pain.
REALITY SAID: MTSU 25-24 Didn't think it would be THAT close and go the other way.
5-1

Louisiana Tech 2-1 (0-0) @ North Texas 40 (1-0) UNT -8 7:30PM GOTW
MY LINE: UNT 34-27 I am rolling with UNT on this one but I think La Tech might make a game of it.
REALITY SAID: La Tech 29-27 WOW... so close...kind of surprised it was that tight.
5-2

Marshall 2-1 (0-0) @ Western Kentucky 1-3 (0-0) MU -8.5 7:30PM
MY LINE: Marshall 27-21 I'm not believing WKU can beat Marshall. It will be interesting to see how this game ends up.
REALITY SAID: Marshall 20-17 A little closer than I thought.
6-2

Arkansas-Pine Bluff 1-3 (0-1) @ Fla. Int'l 2-2 (1-0) N/A 7:30PM
MY LINE: FIU 34-17 I would assume FIU can pull off the blowout of APB ( internal LOL at that abbreviation).
REALITY SAID: FIU 55-9 Yeah, blowout city.
7-2

Who knows... but... "it's a trap."
