Great start to the weekend last night with the Fresno cover against Boise. I had that game circled for awhile now so it was nice to see the game play out like I expected. Coming off my best weekend of the season (+29 Units for the week and +79 Units YTD), I'm looking to carry all this positive momentum over to the weekend. When I first looked at this card on Sunday night, I thought it may have the most potential out of any weekend this season. Let's hope it plays out that way.
Onto the picks.
TOP PLAYS
Navy +24 over Notre Dame -- Navy always plays ND tough and they have a lot of fight. Besides a hiccup against Rutgers, Navy has really played every team tough and I fully expect them to play the full 60 minutes here. ND's defense is not good enough to completely shut Navy down. The score should be somewhere in the 42-24, 42-28 range with Navy having an outside shot of making it even closer with a few breaks.
@Minny -5.5 over Michigan St. -- Michigan St. put a hurting on MInny last year and has historically dominated this series recently. I expect Minny to really play hard this game and Michigan St. is reeling. Maroney is slightly banged up but Russell has been very good in playing the role of Barber the last two years. Cupito is healthy again and Minnesota should finish up their home schedule with a nice win.
BYU -4.5 over Wyoming -- Two teams going in completely different directions. Take the hot team.
@Oregon St. -6 over Stanford -- Oregon St. seems to always do well in their home finale. While Stanford always seems to play hard, this week it won't be enough.
Other Plays
@OU -13 over Aggy -- Keep fading Aggy.
Northwestern +19 over OHio ST. -- I'll take my chances getting 19 points with this offense even against the stout Ohio St. D. Small play.
Central Florida +8 over UAB -- Remarkable turnaround for O'Leary's team this year and I expect them to at least keep this close.
Ball St. +6 over Eastern Michigan -- Token MAC play.
@Iowa St. +2.5 over Colorado -- This should be a great game but I'll take the home team in a toss up. Small play.
@UNC -3 over Maryland -- UNC's D will smother Maryland and UNC should win in a close one.
Good luck to everyone this weekend.

What's the matter, no love for my W. Mich play? I like the card, especially the top plays. I'm going to piggyback the BYU play.
Good work this week, hope it pays off.
Here is my plays so far:
OU -13
Navy +24
W. Mich -3
Minn -4 1/2
BYU -4
I'll be looking for more plays depending on how these turn out or how many beers I drink while watching all of the games.
