Last week was a disaster, only going 2-4 and dropping the season record to 34-20-1. A lot of dog games this week as teams play teams like The Citadel, Chattanooga and Coastal Carolina but there are still a few to pick.
Bowling Green -25.5 at Eastern Michigan - Bowling Green is tied for the MAC East lead and has a showdown with Buffalo next week for the right to go to the title game. Eastern Michigan has been blown out in almost every MAC game. The Falcons get a chance to fine tune everything before next week and they rip the Eagles.
Vanderbilt +2.5 at Tennessee - The Volunteers have been a better team at home than on the road but the only decent team they have beaten this year is South Carolina. Vanderbilt isn't a great team, but they are a decent team and have been playing well as of late. I like the Commodores to win this one outright and keep alive their chance for an 8-win season.
Wisconsin +16.5 at Minnesota - The Golden Gophers have had a very successful season by their recent standards. The Badgers have had a great season and except for a 7-point loss to Ohio State and a loss to the Pac-12 referees/Arizona State, they have been steamrolling opponents. Minnesota's rush defense isn't great and Wisconsin will exploit that. Badgers make this one ugly and keep the Paul Bunyan Axe.
Boise State -6 at San Diego State - The Aztecs have played better since an 0-3 start, winning 6 of their last 7. Five of those wins have been by a touchdown or less. The Broncos have been rolling along as well with only a loss to BYU in their last six games. San Diego State upset Boise last year and this year the Broncos get their revenge this year.
East Carolina -6 at North Carolina State - Going with a fifth road team this week by taking the Pirates. The Wolfpack is on a six-game losing streak and they haven't really been close. East Carolina is scoring points in bunches and playing decent defense. They'll take out the Wolfpack and keep a 10-win season as a possibility.
