College football week 9 part two against the spread

Random thoughts, how angry do you think the SEC folks are about the success of two former mediocre Big 12 teams. Mizzou and Texas A & M had a couple of decent seasons in the Big 12 but now you have Johnny Football destroying the vaunted SEC defenses and Mizzou just wins. Mizzou and Oregon are the only teams to win all their games by 15+ points. Amazing.

Iowa State had its manhood ripped away last week against Baylor. Iowa State did absolutely nothing right. Iowa State will start their 7th different offensive line combination in their 7th game this year. The starters include 1 junior, 2 sophomores and 2 freshman. Ugh...luckily the offense for Oklahoma State has not been good this year. The Cowboy defense on the other hand has been very good.

Let's get on to the rest of my picks for the week.

Game #4
Texas Tech +6 visits the Oklahoma Sooners and I was absolutely shocked at the spread in this game. OU is missing their best defensive player and were in trouble against Kansas last week in a very ugly game. I think the wrong team is favored in this game. Tech has 2 proven freshman QB's and a good defense, this is a formula for success on the road. OU has some shaky QB play and a banged up defense. I see Tech putting up a bunch of yards and points in this one. Texas Tech wins this one 38-24.

Game #5
Clemson -14 is on the road at Maryland which is just riddled with injuries. Clemson was absolutely embarrassed last week. I think they recover and get right in this one and hope they can win themselves back into championship consideration. I know that is a long shot but college football has been crazy this year.

Game #6
Baylor is a 34.5 point favorite on the road at KU. KU will try and keep the ball on the ground some with their decent running game but I think the speed on both sides of the ball will be way too much for the Jayhawks to handle. I expect 21 first quarter points for Baylor and i do not expect them to quit. Take Baylor to cover this HUGE spread on the road with a final of 56-14.

A quick recap for the week: Duke +13, Nebraska -10.5, UMASS -3, Texas Tech +6, Clemson -14 and Baylor -34.5
