Some good, some bad, and some in between for our opponents last week, but the numbers made a drastic improvement from the sub .500 start.
Aug. 31 – New Mexico State Aggies (0-2) vs UTEP Miners
Line: UTEP -6.5
Prediction: UTEP 34, New Mexico State 23
These are two bad football teams, but UTEP is a bit better than the Aggies at this point.
Sept. 7 – BYU Cougars (1-1) vs Open Date
Line: N/A
Prediction: The Cougars catch a perfect time to rest their legs after all that running last week.
Ugh
Sept. 14 – Ole Miss Rebels (2-0) @ Texas Longhorns
Line: Texas -2.5
Prediction: Ole Miss 35, Texas 24
Looks like Case McCoy will start for the Longhorns. That in and of itself almost assures defeat.
Sept. 21 – Kansas State Wildcats (1-1) vs Massachusetts Minutemen
Line: Kansas State -39
Prediction: Kansas State 56, Mass 7
New to FBS, the Minutemen are probably the worst team in FBS. Wildcats will dominate.
Oct. 3 – Iowa State Cyclones (0-1) vs Iowa Hawkeyes
Line: Iowa -2,5
Prediction: Iowa State 27, Iowa 24
Rhodes just has Ferentz’s number, and the Cyclones have had two weeks to get ready. Secondary prediction, bubble screens galore.
Oct. 12 – Oklahoma Sooners (2-0) vs Tulsa Golden Hurriance
Line: Oklahoma -24.5
Prediction: Oklahoma 41, Tulsa 14
Tulsa isn’t the same team you remember, and the Sooners are going to run a lot without Trevor Knight. Should be a slow strangulation all game long.
Oct. 26 – TCU Horned Frogs (1-1) @ Texas Tech Red Raiders
Line: TCU -3.5
Prediction: Texas Tech 35, TCU 31
This will be a fun game to watch, and we will finally see if Baker Mayfield is truly for real.
Nov. 2 – Kansas Jayhawks (1-0) @ Rice Owls
Line: Rice -6
Prediction: Rice 28, Kansas 24
People keep telling me Rice is for real, and they did look the part against A&M in the first half. Good litmus test for both teams. Kansas just cant win against the FBS, so give me the Owls at home.
Nov. 9 – West Virginia Mountaineers (1-1) vs Georgia State Panthers
Line: West Virginia -39
Prediction: West Virginia 45, Georgia State 17
Georgia State has no running game, and the Mountaineers have to feel better about a couple things: their defense after holding OU to 16 points, and the real chance Joe DeForest could finally be fired
Nov. 16 – Oklahoma State Cowboys (2-0) vs Lamar Cardinals
Line: Oklahoma State -46
Prediction: Oklahoma State 66, Lamar 10
With the SI mess swirling, and UTSA slapping around his defense in the second half, Gundy could use a solid win at home. The Cardinals better be getting paid well to take this beating.
Nov. 28 – Texas Tech Red Raiders (2-0) vs TCU Horned Frogs
Line: TCU -3.5
Prediction: Texas Tech 35, TCU 31
So…about that scholarship……..
Dec. 7 – Baylor Bears (2-0) vs Open Date
Line: N/A
Prediction: N/A
Bears averaging 69.5 points per game thus far, but wont play much football again in September, with this and another open date sandwiched around a game with cupcake state.
Combined Record of Opponents: 15-7
