Alright, my title last week about laughing at Ohio backers rankled some people and they humbled my beloved Owls. With that we still did have another winning week.

Temple +24 -- Listen I hear the snickers at this pick. Surely, your thinking i'm a homer and will never bet against the Owls. The Nittany Lions havent been that impressive this year and their offense isn't that good. This is THE game for Temple. The fans will be doing a Cherry Out and the team points this as their coming out party. Plus, Golden is a Paterno disciple so i don't see a score being run up. I'm hoping D'Onfrio opens up the playbook.

Purdue -4 -- The Spartan slide continues. They have so much talent offensively but their falling per usual as they do at the end of the season. The Boilermakers play inspired ball at home and Painter goes out in style at home.

Iowa -14 -- The Hawkeyes are hot while Minnesota just can't do much right. I can see Iowa romping all over a beaten and terrible Gopher team. The Hawkeye D may shut them out.

Iowa State +5 -- Rode them last week...why not do it again. The team is so good at home and Colorado's offense just isn't that spectacular.

Rice +6.5 -- Once again i'm breaking my rule of taking a road team in a game of two bad teams but Chase Clement is the best player on the field in this game. Clement and the Owls offense has been humming.

Wyoming +14 -- Defense wins ballgames and keeps teams hanging around on the road. The Cowboys D is ranked Top 10 in the league and has the personnel to keep it close. Their run game will keep the clock running and the better Utah team off the field.

Wazzu -11 -- Thanks for the upset Stanford of USC but now you return to the bad team you've always been. Granted the Cougars arent world beaters but their simply a more talented team then the Fighting Trees. Expect the Cougs D to score 2 TD's and capitalize off turnovers.

Maryland +6.5 -- This is my most hesitant pick. BC on the road after losing the undefeated season against a desperate Terps team who has the talent to play well at home. I'll take my chances with Coach Fridgen against a BC offense that lacks weapons.
