College Football Week 13


I was 2-3 last week dropping my record to 30-29-1 on the season. There are still a precious few weeks to improve on my record and to try to get to at least 55% on the season.
 
Thanksgiving weekend usually sets us up with some big games. The state of Iowa will be showcased starting at 11:00 when Nebraska visits Kinnick stadium and the Iowa Hawkeyes. Mercifully Iowa will be done after this game. Things do not look up for Iowa next year either. Nebraska will lock up their spot in the Big 10 championship after winning this game.
 
Iowa State hosts West Virginia.Wow, what has happened to the Mountaineers? They started out 5-0 and reached #5 in the country. Since then they are 0-5 and the least amount of points they have given up in a conference game is 39!
 
Game #1 Tulsa -5 is on the road at SMU, SMU has had their struggles this year and Tulsa has been humming along for the most part and I think that continues. Tulsa wins by double digits on the road.
 
Game #2 Ohio +10 visits Kent St. This lines seems pretty high. Kent is ranked and playing at home but Ohio has played some good games this season including a win at Penn St. early in the season. I think Ohio has a chance to win this outright. The Bobcat offense is good enough to slug this out and grind some clock. Ohio keeps it snug and like I said may win outright. 
 
Game #3 LSU -12.5 visits Arkansas with Arkansas playing out the string. They really have nothing to play for. LSU is not great offensively which allows Arkansas to hang around in the first half. The LSU defense comes on strong in the second half with many stops and probably a special teams TD. LSU wins this one easily 34-13.
 
Recap Tulsa -5, Ohio +10 and LSU -12.5
