NCAA Football: Week 4

Tulsa -10 New Mexico - Tulsa's home opener after opening with a couple of easy road wins (and covers) as a double digit favorite. New Mexico is 1-2 SU and ATS and getting a bit too much respect for their win last week. The Golden Hurricane were off last week and have 2 weeks to prepare. The Lobos are an improving program, won a bowl game, and enjoyed a 9 win season last year. But, they're just not to the point yet where you they're likely to hang with a good team, on the road, with an offense as explosive as Tulsa's.

Georgia Tech -7 1/2 Mississippi State - MSU is a bad football team with a very, very bad offense. They only crossed the 50 once last week, and that was on a "drive" that started on their own 46 before going 9 yards and being turned over on downs as they grinded out 116 yards of total offense. Auburn missed 2 field goals and turned it over 3 times to allow the Bulldogs a miracle cover. The sledding won't be as easy today. Georgia Tech suffered a close, tough road loss to Virginia Tech last week while outgaining the Hokies by 140 yards.
