NCAA Football: Week 11

Kansas/Nebraska UNDER 43 - The Cornhuskers are 11th nationally in total defense and they're really good against the run, so offensive success today will fall on Todd Reesing's shoulders. Nebraska's offense has stuggled to find some consistency, Roy Helu Jr hasn't really been healthy, and the Jayhawk defense has been improving. Expect a short field or two after big plays by the defense, but don't expect long, sustained drives. In Big 12 games involving one of these teams this year, the UNDER is 8-2, it's covered 3 straight in KU games and 5 straight in Nebraska games.

Virginia Tech -19 Maryland - A couple extra days to prepare for the Hokies as they try to get their offense back on track. Maryland is just a trainwreck of a football team, having only played well once all season (an upset of Clemson...their only FBS win). Maryland is 3-6 against the number, and VaTech has won and covered 4 straight in this series by an average of 26 points.

Leans:

Kentucky -3 1/2
Ohio +1 1/2
Miami -3
Michigan +8 1/2
