No time to put out my full preview this weekend, but it should be a heck of a game tonight. Michigan is the better team, but Washington can get them out of their comfort zone if they jump out to a lead. I’ve got Washington winning it, 31-28, so I’ll take UW +5 in tonight’s Natty
@rfiles90 The spread not moving does make me feel a bit better. We’ll see what the offense looks like without him. With a bit of prep, I’d like to think they can still move the ball against a poor USF D as you alluded to
Syracuse QB Garrett Shrader will not play in Boca Raton Bowl vs. USF. Shrader underwent successful surgery at conclusion of regular season. He had been playing w/tear in his shoulder for past 2 months
SMU will be headed to the AAC Championship game with a win this week, so they’ll be sure to have a sharp first half against Navy tomorrow. I think they’ll pump the brakes in the second half, so my X Pick this week is SMU -10 1H
I want to lock in my X Pick early this week: I can’t believe I’m seeing such a low Total for Utah-Arizona. These offenses have both been hot, and backup QBs Barnes and Fifita should have some success in Tucson on Saturday. I’ll take the Over 44.5, which will cash in the 3rd Q
Texas tailback Jonathon Brooks has a torn right ACL and will miss the remainder of the season, a source confirms to ESPN. He projected as one of the top running backs — if not the top — in the upcoming NFL Draft. He’s now likely to return to school after surgery and rehab.
Went back and forth on my X Pick this week, but I’m going to go with my gut (and take the advice of a few Commenters) and take the points with the Blue Devils. They’ll be able to keep this one within two TDs thanks to their D, so Duke +14.5 is my pick
