A good run last week, going 3-1-1 (thanks, Virginia Tech for showing no offense against Duke). The season record moved to 24-14-1 and look to continue the winning ways this weekend.
Northern Illinois -25 at Massachusetts - The Huskies have a chance to go BCS bowling again this year. They're undefeated, quarterback Jordan Lynch got the hat trick last weekend (4 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD and 1 receiving TD) and they need to continue to impress voters. The Minutemen played Western Michigan close last week but Northern Illinois is in a completely different class and will hammer Massachusetts on their way to 9-0.
Clemson -18 at Virginia - I generally don't like double-digit road favorites in BCS conference games late in the season, but the Cavaliers have shown almost nothing this year and the Tigers still have a chance to get to the ACC Championship (especially if Miami helps them out later Saturday night against Florida State). Look for Clemson to shake off the rust they showed against Maryland last week and shut down Virginia.
Arizona -16 at Cal - Another double-digit road favorite in a BCS conference game. But Cal is absolutely terrible on defense and their offense seems to be regressing as the season goes along. The Wildcats balanced offense will get them up early and their running game will close out the Bears.
Auburn -7.5 at Arkansas - Arkansas' season has not gone as they hoped under new coach Bret Bielema. Auburn's has gone far better than expected under new coach Gus Malzahn. The Tigers hurry-up offense will be destroy the Razorbacks this Saturday and the hog fan base will start to make things a little hot for Bielema.
Wisconsin -9.5 at Iowa - Wisconsin is in a good spot here. Coming off a bye week and Iowa coming off a hard fought 17-10 overtime win against Northwestern. The Badger running backs have been running wild and they should be able to continue that trend against the Hawkeyes.
