40 DIMER - MICHIGAN STATE
10 DIMERS - UCLA BRUINS & TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS
The key to this game, in my opinion, is Iowa and Illinois. Michigan will be looking ahead somewhat towards what will be a huge game in the Big 10 next week, while the Spartans have lowly Illinois on its schedule after this home tilt versus the Wolverines. Big edge to Michigan State there!
I watched the Indiana game last weekend; Michigan is very vulnerable through the air, Chappel had his way through the air which opened up the running game for the Hoosiers. The Wolverine secondary gives up 244 yards per game in the air.
The QB tandem of Cousins & Nichol have combined for 1,283 yards and 13 TDs to the much bigger, more talented wide receivers for Michigan State. Plus, Tate Forcier is hurt; he made the freshman mistake grimmacing so much at the end of the Indy game, and while he is listed as "probable", I don't expect him to be near 100%.
Keep in mind that Michigan has played ALL 4 of their games to date at home, this will be the 1st time they hit the road, and they are hitting the road against a State team that is searching for a signature win after losing their last 3.
Spartans hand the Wolverines their 1st loss!
10 DIMER - UCLA BRUINS
Pac 10 opener for the 3-0 straight up, and against the spread Bruins, and I like them plus the points to take this game right down to the wire.
UCLA is on a 3 game win, and cover streak in this series, and while the Tree is better equipped in this go'round to exact some revenge, I don't see it coming by a large enough margin to cover this impost.
This one as closing seconds win for one of these schools written all over it, and with the Bruins sporting a 5-2 Pac 10 dog mark their last 7, you can guess who I like.
Throw in the Uclans 13-5-1 spread mark their last 19 on-line games, and you can assume that Rick Neuheisel has another "live dog" on his hands in Palo Alto this Saturday afternoon.
Take the points in this one.
10 DIMER - TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS
I am going to keep this one very simple; It doesn't matter how many points you give New Mexico!
The Red Raiders are going to take out all their frustrations of the past 2 weeks (tough losses to Texas and Houston) on the Lowly Lobos.
New Mexico ranks 118th in total offense, and 107th in total defense. Check out this stat...over the past nine games, the Lobos starting QB Donovan Porterie has completed just one TD pass with eight INTs.
Red Raiders roll, and they roll in the most lopsided score of the day.

I watched every play of this matchup last season, and even despite a terrible spot that induced a terrible spot, LSU just kept coming, and were a play or two away from making it a VERY close game in the third quarter. They ended up with a 21-16 FD edge for the gameand gained 54 more yards despite losing on the scoreboard. Now the Bayou Bengals, a team famous for close games, is getting more than a FG against a UGA team that could not get the job done against Oklahoma State and needed some amazing work from their star WR to squeak by Arizona State last week. Last team with the ball wins this by a FG, so take the points.
