Writeups

Syracuse- This is more of a fade of Northwestern's defense which had some amazing pick sixes but really was getting run ragged by Cal. They came up with the big plays when they needed to but it was not a dominant performance. Syracuse came up just short against NU last year and will not be intimidated. This should come down to the last possession to determine the winner.

S. Miss- I had the same side with Wyoming last week. Nebraska's defense is not all that and Wyoming had a lot of success. I don't see the Blackshirts shutting down anyone this year and the Golden Eagles will scratch enough out to go over 14.5 points.

Washington st- The Cougars battled Auburn pretty well in their first game against in a tough environment. They are going into another tough venue however they are playing a USC team that is struggling to find their offensive identity. The Cougars will be able to score just enough points to cover the spread in this one.

UNLV- The Rebels moved the ball pretty well against Minnesota however they had some critical turnovers and special team breakdowns. They should clean those up and be able to score some more points this week. Arizona's offense should be successful as well as they have a scheme and talent advantage vs. UNLV. This will be a fun shootout in the desert.

Navy- This will be a scary one but Navy will hold the ball against the high powered Indiana offense and will not try to get into a scoring contest. 2nd half different story however the first half will go under.

Tulsa- I am looking for Tulsa to have a better bounceback effort than CSU. Tulsa has the talent edge and will take control of this over the course of the game and get the cover.

Notre Dame- Looking forward to watching this one. Too many points to pass up IMO.
