These teams are virtually equal in my eyes. Add in the fact that this is a rivalry game and I can't help but take the points.
Michigan (+2) @ Nebraska
Nebraska has faced two fantastic running quarterbacks this year. UCLA's Brett Hundley and Ohio State's Braxton Miller.
- Hundley: 21/33 305 yards 4 TD 0 Int, 12 carries 53 yards. UCLA wins 36-30.
- Miller: 7/14 127 yards 1 TD 0 Int, 16 carries 186 yards 1 TD. OSU wins 63-38.
USC (-6.5) @ Arizona
Matt Barkley is coming off a bye (yes, playing Colorado counts as a bye at this point) and Arizona is 1-3 against the four ranked teams they have played this year (Oklahoma State, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford) while giving up an average of 45 points per game.
North Carolina State (+7.5) @ North Carolina
Rivalry game. Take the points. Rinse. Repeat.
Cincinnati @ Louisville UNDER 52.5
Sometimes you just gotta trust the sharps
NCAAF Friday...Cincinnati/Louisville Under 52.5. Good Luck!

Iowa @ Northwestern UNDER 49
Betting unders in Big 10 division games is more automatic for me than breathing.
Vanderbilt (-32.5) vs UMass
Vanderbilt (-32.5) vs UMass
Hmmm...the most pathetic team in college football is traveling to the SEC. What's the worst that can happen? UMass is 0-7 and has been outscored 285-83. Take out their best game of the season at home against Ohio, and they have been outscored 248-49 (an average score of 41-8). My team sucks. At least our head coach has a sense of humor.
Notre Dame (+12) @ Oklahoma
This is a weird game. Notre Dame has overachieved while Oklahoma has underachieved. I guess I'll just take the points and hope for the best.

Tennessee (+14) @ South Carolina
Both teams are coming off of hellacious stretches. South Carolina played 3 weeks in a row at home against Georgia, at LSU, and at Florida. Tennessee has spent 3 of the last 4 weeks at Georgia, at Mississippi State, and versus Alabama. Both teams should be tired and scoring will be down. Take the points here.

Kansas St. (-1.5) vs Texas Tech
USC (-0.5) @ Arizona
I'm with Whitlock on this one. Bill Snyder is a genius.

Michigan (+8) @ Nebraska
Oklahoma St. (-1) vs TCU
OK so I was wrong last week. The Cowboys' offense is explosive. Don't doubt them at home.

North Carolina State (+14.5) @ North Carolina
Tennessee (+21) @ South Carolina
Give me points or give me death! OK that was lame, let's just forget that ever happened and move on.

Georgia (+17) vs Florida
Notre Dame (+22) @ Oklahoma
Ohio St (+10) @ Penn State
I'm a sucker for the buckeyes this year. Urban Meyer is a great coach and Braxton Miller can fly. They have to figure this out right? Right???
Atlanta (+3) @ Philadelphia
One of my all time favorite quotes comes from Bob Knight. I think this applies to pretty much every avenue in life. It also perfectly summarizes the Eagles under Andy Reid's watch.
The gambler in me is saying "always bet Peyton Manning coming off a bye." The crazy Bronco fan in me says "WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING??? SHUT THE HELL UP YOU JINX!!!!"

Chicago (-1.5) vs Carolina
New England (-1) "@" St. Louis
In Matt Forte's last two games against Carolina, he has rushed for 371 yards and averaged 7.9 yards per carry. But since he's on my fantasy team that means he'll probably retire halfway through the second quarter so he can open up a Pilates studio on the north side of Chicago. I hate fantasy football.

Washington (+10.5) @ Pittsburgh
Denver (PK) vs New Orleans
Pittsburgh is overwhelmingly mediocre. I'm going to preach this all year.

Dallas (+8.5) vs New York Giants
San Francisco (-1) @ Arizona
I created a new gambling rule last week. If the Giants are playing, take the points. They win when we least expect them to and get trounced whenever we think they are unbeatable. And I'm pretty sure that if John Skelton beats the 49er defense then that is actual confirmation that the Mayans were right about 2012. Good luck this weekend my fellow degenerates.

Washington (+14) @ Pittsburgh
Feels like I need one more bet. Plus I'm still tilting from yesterday. USC killed me and I took one of the grossest beats of the season on North Carolina State +7.5. It was 35-35 with 18 seconds left, North Carolina returned a punt for a touchdown, then their punter completed a pass for the two point conversion. North Carolina wins 43-35. Excuse me, I'm gonna go throw up again.
New Orleans @ Denver OVER 55
I just can't get the 2nd half of the Monday Night game against San Diego out of my head. This Saints defense is terrible and Peyton has had 2 weeks to prepare for it. Oh, and that Brees guy on the other side of the field ain't too shabby either.

I'm sure there are 50 coaches just as good as Bill Snyder. But I'd love to see them come to Manhattan, Kan and do what he's done.

San Diego (-3) @ Cleveland
This is stupid. Cleveland is terrible and San Diego has spent 2 weeks stewing over their epic collapse against my beloved Broncos. They will demolish Cleveland. This is my biggest bet against the spread all year.
