NCAA Week 2...Continued

Oklahoma -21 1/2 Cincinnati - Both of these teams played lower division schools last week and rolled, so we really don't know too much about either one of them. We do know that Cincy is replacing their QB and he looked good last week, but OU in Norman isn't exactly Eastern Kentucky. OU led by 50 at halftime last week and ended up scoring point (57) than they gave up yards (36). The Sooners were 5-2 against the number as a home favorite last season.

Kansas -20 1/2 Louisiana Tech - This line should be in the 24 or 25 range but is suffering from a little (over)reaction to the games from last week. Louisiana Tech covered the 7 1/2 against Mississippi State but didn't look good. They pretty much couldn't run the ball at all, it took them 41 pass attempts to rack up 161 yards in the passing game, and they were outgained overall by 80 yards. The Bulldogs survived by benefitting from 5 turnovers and their 2 touchdown drives that TOTALED 21 yards. The Jayhawks were 4th in the country last year protecting the football...only turning it over 14 times in 13 games. No short fields, an offense that struggled against MSU, a stout Kansas defense that returns 9 starters from a top 10 unit, and KU getting their legs under them offensively should mean an easy Jayhawk victory.

More Leans...

Tulsa / North Texas OVER 66
Middle Tennessee State +13 Maryland
Auburn -17 1/2 Southern Miss
Texas -26 UTEP
