Bowling Green + 17 ½ over Missouri-   Here’s one where I really feel the line is valued incorrectly.  In my mind, had this matchup occurred before Missouri had so easily dispatched Illinois, the line would have been 11 or 12.  I’m a big fan of the MAC and think Bowling Green can be competitive against a team that could suffer a letdown after a big season opener.  Take the points.

North Carolina – 4 ½ over UConn- UConn is really feeling the loss of RB Donald Brown.   I don’t think that Huskies’ QB, Zach Frazer, will have any success throwing the ball, as evidenced by his 11-24 performance vs. Ohio.   That’ll allow UNC to put seven and eight players in the box.  This is Butch Davis’ fourth year in Chapel Hill and the first with a team recruited entirely by his staff. I think they’ll be in the conversation for the ACC title, especially after what we saw Monday night from Florida State.  I like Carolina here.

Ohio State +6 ½ over USC- Don’t jump off the Buckeye bandwagon just yet.  At first glance, off of their respective openers, Ohio State doesn’t seem to have a chance.  But, I’m willing to believe they were looking ahead against a Navy team that’s better than a lot of people think, especially with soph John Dowd working his way into the O Line.  Everyone and his brother likes USC, which is usually reason enough for me to go the other way.  And how many times do you see a Top Ten team listed as a 6 1/2 point underdog at home, facing a true freshman QB?  I’ll take the Bucks, especially since they know, given how weak the Big Ten is, that a win here may sew up a BCS title matchup.
