Arizona +6 -110 ...............................................4*

Leaning hard on Northern Illinois. Will decide in a few days. Big Ten may have tough week. OSU will have possible hangover from USC game. Purdue has ND next week on Saturday night....look ahead (big state rival and terrible spot for PU historically,...as well as the game after ND which is even worse). Mich thinks they are God again...possible let down. Minny and Iowa have PAC 10 teams. See my thinking on Iowa above....

Historically been just a side player (20-25 plays per week).... This year trying some totals and 2H plays in addition. 2H plays, IMO, are much easier to cap.

I'm thinking this is more of a fade on Iowa than confidence in a young Pac 10 QB on the road....I like what I have seen so far from my Wildcats, and shutting down LeFevour and CMU was a nice start to the season. Iowa is terrible...right? I'd appreciate your big-10 insight

Yes, it is mainly a fade of Iowa but I like Arizona's defense. Getting six in a low scoring game is attractive.

Army -8 -105 .................................................. 4*

Ball State is really bad. They have averaged just over 200 yds per game on offense vs. N Texas and New Hampshire in two losses. I think myself, Stif, Kevin, JB and Flyers by ourselves could get 200 yds vs. N Texas. They gave up miles of yardage last year.

Northern Illinois +12 -110 .................................2*

Not a good spot for a possibly overconfident Purdue team looking forward to next week vs. ND. NIU plays well in these spots covering vs. Wis and Tennessee the last two years.

Minnesota +13.5 -104 .......................................2*

Cal coming east to play at 9 am PDT. Last year they were smoked by Maryland in the same circumstance. I think Minny has been looking forward to this game and can stay close.

Oregon -5 -110 .................................................4 *

Utah is still living off of last years success. I think Oregon will be ready to finally make a statement.

Middle Tennessee State +7.5 -110 ......................3*

Maryland is not very good. Cal blasted them, then they come home and need OT to beat James Madison, a decent FCS team.

Tennessee +30 -105 ..........................................3*

I think 30 pts is a joke in any SEC game vs. a decent opponent. I may be the only one on the site to like Tenn, but if you like Fla, a better play is the over. If Tenn scores 14, the game will probably go over if Fla covers.

Nevada - Colorado State over 56 -110 .................2*

I expect Nevada to bounce back after shutout to ND.

Washington State +6 -105 ...................................4*

Wash State is not very good, but come on....SMU as a TD fave on the road?

Pitt -7 -125 .................................................. .......2*

Oregon State +1.5 -110 .......................................3*

Cincinnati - Oregon State over 56 -104 ..................2*

While Cincy has looked good, I am not sold enough to make them a road favorite at the PAC 10. Rutgers and SEMO are not in the class of OSU.

Marshall +3 -110 .................................................. .4*

BG may have a hangover after blowing the game vs. Mizz. BG is a public favorite too.

Florida State +7.5 -110 ..........................................4*

Lets just say I have seen way to many people tout BYU as a BCS team. Also way too many people on BYU. I faded BYU last week off the big win vs. Okla. I think too much attention has been given to the game FSU played last week. Probably not a popular pick...

GL BB!

what do you usually look for/cap when considering 2H plays?

no matter what I see, the opposite always happens lol

thanks in advance

One of the biggest things I look for is scores that do not match the stats, ie some team scores 21 pts in the first half but has 75 total yards. Play selection (run/pass ratio...more runs mean a faster game and less plays...). Blowout games. Teams tend to let up in the second half, esp in NFL. Faves that are getting blasted....usually they lose the 2H as well.
