    Analysis

    I grabbed Ohio State -3 on Monday, but with that number gone, I'm comfortable taking the moneyline at anything under -185. Yes, Indiana is 6-0, but there are some concerns. The Hoosiers are allowing a 63% completion rate and rank 127th nationally in explosive plays allowed. That could be free eats for Jeremiah Smith, who is playing like the best player on the planet.

    Analysis

    Ever since John Sumrall has been getting positive accolades as head coach at Florida, riding a 4-0 record, the Gators have been bust-outs. They didn't just lose at Missouri 47-17, and at home the next week to an awful South Carolina squad 38-19, but they lost every bit of confidence and credibility they had built up. Now they have to play at Texas, who's only covered one game this year. They're playing well below their rating and they just lost their No. 1 ranking when they lost to Oklahoma 27-24. It's the fourth straight non-cover by Texas. Arch Manning had two big interceptions last week against the Sooners. I think Florida has been exposed as fraudulent, and Texas takes advantage.

    Analysis

    Boston College is the only team in the country which hasn't played to an Over just yet (0-5 O/U). The Eagles' offense is outside the top-100 and faces a stout Pittsburgh defense, which is 2nd against the rush nationally. On the other side, the Panthers start a career backup quarterback (Holden Geriner) against a decent BC defense which is ranked inside the top-40. Add to that a stiff wind is in the forecast with gusts up to 35mph. The Boston College Under trend will continue for another week. Pittsburgh 21, Boston College 14.

    Analysis

    What I've noticed on film about the Robert Morris Colonials is their ability to dictate the pace of the game. There's an element of control in which that play with that can give teams fits. Both teams in this game have terrific tailbacks and secondary units. But from an overall point of attack perspective, the Colonials have the definite edge.

    Analysis

    We’ve got a battle between the last two national champions in Bloomington, with undefeated Indiana against 1-loss Ohio State. The Hoosiers have won 22 straight games and also put their 19-game home win streak on the line. Indiana defeated Ohio State 13-10 last year in the Big Ten championship game, and I think Ohio State feels they owe them something. Ohio State is well prepared for the road, with their only loss coming at Texas, 24-23, where they blew a 20-point lead, and also winning at Iowa 31-14. I like Jeremiah Smith to have an epic game on the road that elevates his status as a Heisman Trophy candidate. Buckeyes are No. 1 in allowing just 4 yards per play. Buckeyes to win.
