3-Unit Play. #353 Take Penn State -3 over Michigan State (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19)
Penn State has only played three games on the road this year but all three have been three score wins. JoPa's team can get their tenth win of the season and that happens against a Spartans team that has been inconsistent all year. We back the beter defense and feel good about the offense coming to play as well.
We know the LSU defense is a mainstay for Les Miles and they will do their part to keep Ole Miss in check offensively. Without Charles Scott at tailback and a struggling quarterback in it seems whoever they throw in there, the Tigers offense also is going to be off their game. Jordan Jefferson will start but we don't expect a ton from him. Five of the last six games this year for LSU have gone under the posted total, while the Rebels defense has also done their part by holding opponents to 20 or less in five straight games. The winner will get over 21 but not the team that gets the 'L'. We say a game with the line of 21-17.
3-Unit Play. #365 Take Kansas State (+16.5) over Nebraska (7:45 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19)
Nebraska hasn't beaten anyone in conference play by 17 points points, so why should this game be any different. Kansas State is better than every Big 12 team the Cornhuskers have played except for Oklahoma, and this number is inflated because the Wildcats had one bad loss last week. Prior to that they had covered four straight and were hitting their peak. Take the dog in this match-up, as K-State covers the number in a close game in Lincoln.
