Feast on These

With our bellies full of turkey meat, mouths glistening, it is time once again to be thankful for the people at BoDog.com who are giving me 4 points with Florida State at the Swamp.

Florida St. @
Florida -4

It's time for Bowden to get on the winning track again after back-to-back losses. Win this game and he sweeps the state of Florida.

Texas @
Texas A&M +29

Sure ATM has had a crap season, but I think that adds extra incentive here. They started the season in the Top 10, now the only thing they can salvage is to beat Texas. Almost 30 points is a lot to give your rival on the road. Louisville is only favored by 35 over Syracuse!

Oklahoma St. @
Oklahoma -19.5

This is a tough one, I thought hard about going the other way, but the Pokes traditionally play tough in this game. Can they do it with less on the line this year? The Sooners are picking up steam.

North Carolina @
Virginia Tech -24

Tech has been haunting me all year. This is my last chance to beat them. Go Heels!

Nebraska @
Colorado -17

I was staying away from this game until the line stared nudging the three score mark. So I'm gonna roll the dice, and that's what it is with this Nebraska team. Nothing makes me think that they can actually win this game. They haven't played well since the Texas Tech game, they can't run the ball, their defense is tired and showing cracks, and Colorado is playing for the Big 12 North title following a thumping by the Cyclones. Sounds like a good game to take, huh?

But maybe, just maybe, and this is where we get in to wishful thinking, the Huskers will give this game the same amount of intensity the Buffs give it. Nebraska has a chance to take a big step here. If they beat Colorado at Folsom Prison it will restore a little faith in Billy C., which will also give a late season push to recruiting. If the guy could get a top 5 recruiting class after a 5-6 season, you have to think that going to a mid-major bowl, which the Bugeaters certainly would with a win over CU, coupled with a high-visibility victory in a nationally televised game would put the staff in a good position to at least equal last seasons crop.

So here's your chance Bill, win today and I'll be back on board, I will believe again. Wow me.
