Florida State (-3 \u00bd) at Maryland<\/strong> \u2013 The Seminoles started as 6 point road favorites in a key ACC battle. This line has had some serious reverse action. The public is decidedly in favor of FSU, but the sharps have moved the line opposite the opening number by 2 \u00bd points. Perhaps the wiseguys don\u2019t expect Christian Ponder to play well with his injured elbow. Or maybe they\u2019ve been scared by the way FSU has played in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati (-13 \u00bd) vs. Rutgers<\/strong> \u2013 Cincy opened as a 9 \u00bd point favorite against Rutgers, but the line has been steamed up to 13 \u00bd by sharps and squares. Rutgers has had quarterback problems all season long. The defense isn\u2019t that bad, but the offense is predictable. The Bearcats have had a disappointing season, but they\u2019re starting to come on.<\/p>\n

BYU (-30) vs. New Mexico<\/strong> \u2013 The Cougars opened as 27 point favorites, but the line has been steamed up to 30 points. After a slow start to the season, BYU has bounced back with some inspired football. They take on the Mountain West\u2019s worst team with New Mexico, but the Lobos have gotten better over the season. They covered against Air Force last week. 30 points seem like a lot at this stage in the season.<\/p>\n

Southern Mississippi (-3 \u00bd) vs. Houston<\/strong> \u2013 Southern Mississippi started as 5 \u00bd point home favorites against the Cougars, but the line has been pulled down to 3 \u00bd. The sharps are the reason for the move. The squares are playing Southern Miss at about 2:1, but the professionals are liking the high flying Houston offense. The Golden Eagles had a huge upset win last week when they took down George O\u2019Leary and Central Florida on the road.<\/p>\n

Wyoming (-2 \u00bd) vs. Colorado State<\/strong> \u2013 The Cowboys and Rams hook up for a bottom tier Mountain West game. The line started as a pick, but it\u2019s been steadily steamed up to 2 \u00bd points. It\u2019s hard to win on the road, especially for bad teams.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin (-4) at Michigan<\/strong> \u2013 The Big 10 has two important games this weekend that will go a long ways to determining the conference champion. In this one, the Badgers opened as 5 \u00bd point road favorites, but the line has been bet down to 4 points by the sharps. The squares definitely like Wisconsin, and why not? The Badgers put up 83 points on Indiana last week. Although the Hoosiers\u2019 defense isn\u2019t very good, neither is the Wolverines\u2019. At the same time, though, the Michigan offense is hard to stop, even with Tate Forcier playing quarterback. It\u2019s never easy beating Michigan in the Big House.<\/p>\n

Ohio State (-3) at Iowa<\/strong> \u2013 The other Big 10 game worthy of mention is Ohio State at Iowa. The road Buckeyes opened as 4 \u00bd point favorites, but wiseguys have brought that down to 3 points. Ohio State has owned this series, but Iowa certainly has enough talent to win the game. The problem for Iowa has been their play down the stretch in close games. The Hawkeyes were in position to beat Arizona, Wisconsin, and Northwestern, but couldn\u2019t find ways to win. The vaunted Iowa defense gave up huge, lengthy scoring drives late in each contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
