Saturday 9/23

SMU @ TCU FS1
MY LINE: TCU 37-33 I think TCU's defense is good enough to give them a narrow win in a high scoring game.

Tulsa @ Northern Illinois CBSSN
MY LINE: Tulsa 34-31 Both teams are doing pretty bad, but I think Tulsa can pull off a narrow road win here.

#_ Miami @ Temple ESPN2
MY LINE: Miami 45-17 Miami should roll here.

FAU @ Illinois BTN
MY LINE: Illinois 27-23 Both teams are struggling, but I like the Illini getting the narrow win here.

UTSA @ #_ Tennessee SECN
MY LINE: Tennessee 45-13 With how UTSA has been looking of late, I can't see them pulling off an upset at Tennessee.

Rice @ USF ESPNU
MY LINE: Rice 27-13 I know how well USF held down an off Alabama team, likewise Rice has been scoring quite easily. I'm balancing out both here.

Gardner-Webb- @ ECU ESPN+
MY LINE: ECU 30-23 The ECU offense has been terrible, the defense has been decent--GW can score but hasn't really stopped anyone. I have to think ECU rebounds here and gets its first win. If they don't--there will be riots in the streets.

Charlotte @ #_ Florida ESPN+/SECN+
MY LINE: Florida 45-13 Florida will blow this one out.

Nicholls @ Tulane ESPN+
MY LINE: Tulane 35-10 Tulane should romp here.

UAB @ #_ Georgia ESPN2
MY LINE: Georgia 42-16 This will most likely be a bloodbath.

Memphis @ Missouri ESPNU
MY LINE: Memphis 41-37 Memphis pulls out the narrow win in a high scoring affair.

REALITY SAID: TCU 34-17 Really surprised SMU couldn't keep up offensively.
1-0

Tulsa @ Northern Illinois CBSSN
MY LINE: Tulsa 34-31 Both teams are doing pretty bad, but I think Tulsa can pull off a narrow road win here.
REALITY SAID: Tulsa 22-14 I really did figure there would be more offense in this game.
2-0

#_ Miami @ Temple ESPN2
MY LINE: Miami 45-17 Miami should roll here.
REALITY SAID: Miami 41-7 Yeah... Even though I thought Temple had some nice for the first little bit I saw.
3-0

FAU @ Illinois BTN
MY LINE: Illinois 27-23 Both teams are struggling, but I like the Illini getting the narrow win here.

UTSA @ #_ Tennessee SECN
MY LINE: Tennessee 45-13 With how UTSA has been looking of late, I can't see them pulling off an upset at Tennessee.

Rice @ USF ESPNU
MY LINE: Rice 27-13 I know how well USF held down an off Alabama team, likewise Rice has been scoring quite easily. I'm balancing out both here.
REALITY SAID: USF 42-29 Not that USF couldn't win, but a dominating blowout? DAMN.
5-1

MY LINE: ECU 30-23 The ECU offense has been terrible, the defense has been decent--GW can score but hasn't really stopped anyone. I have to think ECU rebounds here and gets its first win. If they don't--there will be riots in the streets.
REALITY SAID: ECU 44-0 A shutout is a shutout, but I felt like ECU did have a lot more opportunities to score on offense. That said, our defense pitched a shutout so...
6-1

Charlotte @ #_ Florida ESPN+/SECN+
MY LINE: Florida 45-13 Florida will blow this one out.
REALITY SAID: Florida 22-7 I am kind of surprised Florida didn't score more and this game wasn't more lopsided.
7-1

REALITY SAID: Tulane 36-7 Yeah...

Memphis @ Missouri ESPNU
MY LINE: Memphis 41-37 Memphis pulls out the narrow win in a high scoring affair.
REALITY SAID: Missouri 34-27 Darn, I really did think Memphis would get this one, and I usually don't pick AAC teams on the road at SEC schools but...
9-2

Things that make you say Hmmmm.
