CFB through Week 2
11-5 sides (.69%)
2-2 totals (.50%)
It's a little early but...........
Minnesota -42 vs Temple - Temple put up 3 pts of offense against pathetic Buffalo and then got trounced at home vs Louisville 62-0. The Louisville score could have been even worse as the score was 42-0 at halftime, which could be the case again this week.
Northwestern -17 vs E. Michigan - E. Michigan's 3rd road game in a row to start off the season. They've lost by 18 @ Ball St. and by 32 @ Mich. St. Looking for Northwestern to bounce back after their embarrassing 3 turnover effort at home last week vs a pretty darn good New Hampshire team (the highest ranked team by far in the Atlantic 10)
Wisconsin -14 vs San Diego St. - S.D. St. lost their starting QB in their first game (at home) against MWC foe UTEP. The game was really not as close as the final score of 34-27 would indicate. Now they travel to Wisconsin who's got 2 solid wins so far by 21 and 24 against similar competition.
Pittsburgh -2.5 vs Michigan St. - Pittsburgh looking good on both offense and defense so far with very solid wins over Virginia and Cincinnati. Michigan St.'s first road game before 9 Big 10 games in a row starting next week vs Notre Dame! If I'm reading the schedule right they don't even get a bye week....ouch! Anyway I think Pitt should be able to cover a FG at home the way they're playing.
Miami (Fla) +4 @ Louisville - I've gone back and forth with this one a few times but I can't believe Miami won't cover this if not win outright. They don't want 2 losses this early in the season and should be fired up. Kentucky actually moved the ball pretty good against Louisville for awhile (and we didn't expect Temple to score anyway....they can't even score against Buffalo!). We'll see how Louisville does against a first rate defense and Miami should be able to score lots of points too.
Clemson +4 @ Florida State - I'm not convinced Florida State is that great. They scored 13 against Miami and damn near got beat by Troy last week in their own backyard, although it was a 'sandwich' game for them. Clemson lost a heartbreaker @ Boston College last week in 2OT's and were actually favored in that game. Clemson's got a ton of returning starters this year on both sides of the ball.
