The bottom end of the schedule is shaping up to be nasty.
Aug. 31 – New Mexico State Aggies (0-5) @ New Mexico Lobos
Line: New Mexico -9.5
Prediction: New Mexico 29, New Mexico State 17
If you are one of those sick fans of awful football, tune in to this one.
Sept. 7 – BYU Cougars (2-2) vs Utah State Aggies
Line: Utah State -6
Prediction: BYU 17, Utah State 16
The game is Chuckie Keeton vs the BYU Defense. In a thriller, Im going with the BYU Defense I know is better than USCs, which held Keeton in check.
Sept. 14 – Ole Miss Rebels (3-1) @ Auburn Tigers
Line: Ole Miss -2.5
Prediction: Ole Miss 27, Auburn 24
This one should actually be a decent game, but Im going with the more battle tested Rebels
Sept. 21 – Kansas State Wildcats (2-2) @ Oklahoma State Cowboys
Line: Oklahoma State -14
Prediction: Oklahoma State 45, Kansas State 21
The Cowboys have far too much in the tank for the Wildcats to handle. Depending on just how hard the Pokes want to play, this could be worse than predicted.
Oct. 3 – Iowa State Cyclones (1-2) vs Texas Longhorns
Line: Texas -8
Prediction: Texas 35, Iowa State 24
The Longhorns are on the road, without their QB, and are already notorious for slow starts under embattled Mack Brown. Texas just has too much talent across the board to lose this game, but it wont be the massive blowout fans want to see.
Oct. 12 – Oklahoma Sooners (4-0) vs TCU Horned Frogs
Line: Oklahoma -11
Prediction: Oklahoma 38, TCU 20
TCU will be a good tune up for the Longhorns next week, and both have similar QB play in Boykin compared to McCoy. The Sooners will have far too much on offense for the Horned Frogs to pull the upset.
Oct. 26 – TCU Horned Frogs (2-2) @ Oklahoma Sooners
Line: Oklahoma -11
Prediction: Oklahoma 38, TCU 20
Remember when the Frogs were a national title contender to some folks? Yeah…..
Nov. 2 – Kansas Jayhawks (2-1) vs Texas Tech Red Raiders
Line: Texas Tech -17
Prediction: Texas Tech 38, Kansas 14
Kansas has had a nice run fattening up on bad football teams, a run which ends here. Kliff Kingsbury will boatrace Charlie Weis.
Nov. 9 – West Virginia Mountaineers (3-2) @ Baylor Bears
Line: Baylor -27.5
Prediction: Baylor 52, West Virginia 21
The run of 70 point games ends for the Bears, but they still win comfortably at home. Too much offense and execution for the Mountaineers to handle.
Nov. 16 – Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-1) vs Kansas State Wildcats
Line: Oklahoma State -14
Prediction: Oklahoma State 45, Kansas State 21
Hopefully this years Wildcats team is just a blip on Snyders resume and not a sign of things to come.
Nov. 28 – Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-0) @ Kansas Jayhawks
Line: Texas Tech -17
Prediction: Texas Tech 38, Kansas 14
Kansas hasn’t won a conference game in years. Why start now?
Dec. 7 – Baylor Bears (3-0) vs West Virginia Mountaineers
Line: Baylor -27.5Prediction: Baylor 52, West Virginia 21
Hopefully Oliver Luck and Art Briles can meet before the game. They may be seeing a lot of each other soon.
Combined Record of Opponents: 29-18
