How bad is Iowa? seems like definite trap game for UfI.

Iowa is really, really, really bad offensively. Their defense is slightly above average. However, Iowa struggled to stop Indiana tons in Iowa City. Illinois runs the same plays as Indiana but with more of a run focus. If the Illini run for 300 yards, it will obviously be a long day for the Hawkeyes. But, I agree, this one definitely smells like an Iowa pick as I expect the public to be riding Illinois hard and fading Iowa after the last few weeks.

I think ND will get love for the outright win despite still sucking. The lines for this team have seemed incorrect all season. They started off way too low... and then went way way too high (Purdue is good?) and who knows?

I'll likely back BC under ~17.

I think Penn State will be -2/3ish.

FSU -9 at Wake?

One of the hardest to cap, IMO. I had Wake +6.

Not my area of expertise but that strikes me as WAYYYYYY too many. Didn't Wake beat them 30-0 at FSU last year? Hasn't FSU been pretty much totally unimpressive thus far?

Yeah I'm sure that's too many. Wake has already beat Maryland and played BC as competitively as anyone.

FWIW, Sagarin predictor only has BC favored by 10.5 based on BC not being in the Top 20.

I'd say FSU -4.5 at Wake. The Deacons have been decent at home and when the 'Noles win they don't really outscore anyone too bad.

I mean, does Wake have someone hurt or what? What am I missing?
