CFB

116* Michigan State +2.5

Michigan State is looking to lock in a bowl spot with a win here today. Penn State is 2-2 on the road this year, and one of those wins came last week against Temple. This game means very little to Penn State, and being it’s a second consecutive road game I don’t believe we’ll see a sharp Lions team here. Michigan State is scoring 36 PPG at home and are 4-2, and have actually played very competitive of late. Lost by 7 to then #1 OHST, brain farted at Iowa losing by seven, and lost by four to Michigan before whipping Purdue last week. That win should be the boost this team needs to get past Penn State.

116* Indiana +2

One of the most improved teams in the Big 10 looks to close out the season with the Old Oaken Bucket. Purdue has held on to it long enough, and I feel Indiana will step up to the plate after the tough loss to Northwestern last week. They’re scoring 36 PPG at home with a 4-2 mark. The losses came to Penn State and Illinois. They actually outgained Purdue in last years contest, but untimely turnovers where the death of them in the end. Historically the Boilermakers haven’t responded to well coming off losses as favs at home, and quite frankly I don’t think the Old Oaken Bucket means as much to them since they’ve had it for a few years now. Away from home they’re allowing 32 ppg and 432 total yards/road game this year. I like that when my team is so good at home this year, and can score with anyone. In the end this should be Indiana’s day as they get a bowl bound win here.

116* Buffalo pk

Hey after they won for me two weeks ago I’ve become a fan of Gill Turner’s Bulls from Buffalo University. They’ve had a great season by their standards, and a close out win at home would be huge for the players and coaches. Quarterback Drew Willy is doing what he can to get this team over .500 by completing 68% of his passes for over 2,000 yards. Typically the Falcons from Bowling Green have struggled with teams that complete a lot of passes. Bowling Green is allowing 35 PPG on the road this year going 3-3. Buffalo is 3-1 at home this year with zero losses coming against conference foes. They’re 4-2 in the conference this year winning by seven points per game. This will be their last home game, and have had an extra week to prepare for the Falcons offense. To me it all sits up nicely for a Bulls win.

116* Arkansas -11

This will be McFadden’s last home game for the razorbacks, and they should catch Mississippi State in a very flat spot off the heels of the Bama win and Ole Miss on deck. Arkansas is outscoring opponents 41-20 at home, and while the Bulldogs are improved they still aren’t there yet. I just don’t see that there is any denying the McFadden & Jones in this one. The Razorbacks are 21-2 in Little Rock since 1998. Who wants the points here to only HOPE Miss St. holds on for the cover? Arkansas won by 14 last year at Mississippi State. I’m sorry I gotta lay the double digits here, and wish Arkansas all the best.


NFL will come later today or early Sunday

Peace
