TULANE @ CHARLO • Fri 7:00pm

CHARLO +10.5

-110

Spread

Picked: Oct 25 @ 3:37pm

Analysis

Charlotte is not a very good team, but it picked up its first win of the year in its last game, and is home off a bye this week against a Tulane team that's been disappointing.

KENTST @ SACST • Fri 10:30pm

SACST +10

-107

Spread

Picked: Oct 27 @ 10:09pm

Analysis

Kent State travels west on a short week for a 10:30 p.m. (ET) kickoff. The Golden Flashes have been outscored by an astonishing 183-12 in four away games. Three opponents were vastly superior to Sac State, but the fourth was a 38-7 setback to Western Michigan. To be sure, the Hornets are a bottom dweller in the FBS hierarchy, yet no way Kent should be spotting double digits this far away from home -- and this late at night.

ARIZ @ TXTECH • Sat 12:00pm

ARIZ +3.5

-112

Spread

Picked: Oct 28 @ 3:29pm

Analysis

Is this a homer pick? Possibly. But after what I saw last week in person against Iowa State, I'm convinced that my Arizona Wildcats are the real deal. This game was a 16-point advance line in August and has moved down to just about a field goal. I have no idea how Texas Tech will respond after being throttled by Cincinnati last week, the same Bearcats team who lost 34-7 to Arizona in Tucson earlier this month. The Wildcats have the second-best passing attack in the Big 12 and a Heisman finalist contender in Noah Fifita. Texas Tech has the third worst pass defense in the Big 12. I smell an upset. Arizona 27, Texas Tech 23.

Money Line

Picked: Oct 25 @ 2:00pm

Analysis

Pretty shocking how mediocre Oregon has been but still a much more talented roster than Northwestern -- which is an impressive 6-1 but also really hasn't beaten anyone yet. The Ducks fired their offensive coordinator following Saturday's ugly loss at Illinois. They have to win out now to have any playoff shot and even that might not be enough. A handful of guys who missed the Illini game due to injury are supposed to play, although not clear yet on QB Dante Moore. One fun story line here is NW's OC is former Oregon head coach Chip Kelly.

UTEP @ NDST • Sat 3:30pm

NDST -25.5

-110

Spread

Picked: Oct 26 @ 12:24am

Analysis

This is a weird spread for me to jump on early this week but I couldn't ignore that this is a complete mismatch. UTEP is generally a really bad team but somehow is worse than that on the road. They are averaging 15.1 points per game on offense (3rd worst) while North Dakota State is allowing 12.5 PPG (3rd best). In three games away from El Paso, the Miners have surrendered 51 points to Oklahoma, 52 to Michigan, and 61 to New Mexico. And as we all know, the first two teams aren't known for their offensive prowess. Meanwhile, the Bison are outscoring opponents 130-24 at home this season. I can't picture this Mountain West contest within four touchdowns. North Dakota State 45, UTEP 7.
