Scroll Down for No. 6 North Carolina at Wake Forest
7. Oregon at Wisconsin
Line: Oregon -13.5
Prediction: Oregon
I am well aware that this was on the Double Digit Home Dog segment of the show back in the 10th pick, but I am going to go against the gods and say something different.
As a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, I say this without fear or favor. So far this season, picking the good teams to win against the Badgers has been the easiest.
42–10 for Alabama. Simple.
USC 38–21, which seemed like a good score at the time. Simple.
Iowa beat Penn State 42–10, with a score of 28–13. Simple as that.
Ohio State beat Rutgers 42–7, Northwestern 23–3, and Purdue 52–6. Those wins were easy for Ohio State.
Yes, I agree that the Badgers need to do something strong from their… game plan WAY too soon. But I know so much about this team right now that we can take a few chances.
Ohio State is better than Wisconsin this year in college football, and the Badger O will stall again, this time against the best team in the country. They did nothing against Alabama, Penn State, and Iowa.
6. North Carolina at Wake Forest
Line: Point Total 63.5
Prediction: Over
As an aside, I was torn between taking the over on this and the 62.5 UAB at Memphis. The fact that UAB’s O is about to stall a little scared me.
This does not fit with my theme this week at all.
The Tar Heels have held Florida State to 11 points and Virginia to 14 points in their last two games, but do not be fooled. That is either a strange defense or one that is about to give Wake Forest at least 27 points.
There should be at least 30 points scored by the Demon Deacons, and the North Carolina offense should do its part. They have scored 34 points in each of the last three games and six times this season. Why is that?
Last week, Cal beat Wake Forest by 46 points. Clemson beat Louisiana by 49 points, and Ole Miss beat Louisiana by 40. The teams that did not score 30 or more points on the Demon Deacons do not have the offensive line that North Carolina does.
