The Magnificent Seven
Michigan (minus 3) – OK, so you’re going to sit there and tell me, the Wizard, that Penn State will win at Michigan and Michigan State, finish 11-0 and end up in Pasadena on Jan. 4? Get real. The Nittany Lions needed a miracle two weeks ago to beat Northwestern, then emptied the emotional tank last week against Ohio State. Meanwhile, the Wolverines are being spat upon by everybody within a 500-mile radius of Ann Arbor. There’s only one way to stop being treated like a dog, so Penn State, welcome to the world of losses. The Wizard will go as far as saying Penn State loses three of its last five and finishes 8-3. That’s a nice season, so accept it and build upon it. But if you want to make money, kick the emotions to the curb.
Colorado (plus 17.5) – Yeah, yeah. Texas is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Last year the Longhorns struggled to beat Missouri after the Oklahoma game. Again, a team that won’t be able to duplicate its emotional output of the previous week. Of particular note is Colorado’s fine run defense. The Buffaloes are sixth nationally. That should slow the ground-oriented Longhorns, who rank No. 2 nationally running the ball. Colorado should have the edge in special teams.
Louisville (minus 7) – The Cardinals worry us because of some iffy efforts on the road, but this game is for the Big East championship. This will be an interesting, with Louisville’s 10th-ranked offense against West Virginia’s ninth-ranked defense, but based on what Virginia Tech did in Morgantown a few weeks ago (a cover), we’ll spot the Mountaineers seven points and take our chances.
Oklahoma (minus 6) – Oklahoma has better players, plain and simple. There’s no sure things in this world and the Jayhawks have a nice run defense (No. 3 nationally), but that nonconference schedule wasn’t exactly murder’s row, hence the impressive numbers. Kansas 6, Oklahoma 0, and we’re ready to tee it up.
Louisiana State (minus 6) – It appears the Tiger defense is coming around, having throttled Mississippi State and Vanderbilt. Florida’s struggles on offense are well documented. We’ve posted several stories on the site. Factor these two together and we will take LSU at home.
Nebraska (minus 2.5) – Again, Nebraska has better players than Baylor (see Oklahoma above). The Wizard was impressed with the Cornhuskers’ spunk last week against Texas Tech, rallying from a big deficit. It appears the offense is coming around. Although it’s the first trip out of Lincoln for the Corn, this is a manageable number.
Arizona (minus 5) – What we didn’t like about Arizona last week: giving up 700-plus yards. What we liked about Arizona last week: the emergence of the offense. And let us consider the opponent, all-world USC at the Coliseum before 90,000-plus. This is an opportunity to build on that game. Just a hunch, but will Arizona put on a surge in the second half and rattle off several victories? Let us not get greedy. Start with one – a cover no less – at home against the Cardinal.
