Tenn/Purdue
I like the Tenn ML. It's exceptionally pricey but with the top 2 WR for Purdue out of the game, I think their passing attack, which they depend upon to win, will suffer quite a bit. Purdue QB is good but he'll be throwing to wideouts that are less experienced.

I avoided the spread since the line moved to +8 for Purdue which scares me (but only a little). If a 2nd team Purdue WR decides to wake up as Jerry Rice today and surprise everyone, that'd be a bad beat.

Wisc/Ariz St.
I also like Wisc. today. Sure they lost to Minn last game to blow their BIG10 title game shot and end their 7 game winning streak. Also it was a game at Min (Sr. day, etc...) and is no slouch especially with Coach Fleck. They handled W. Virg well in their bowl game. So the Minn loss was a one off for Wisc.

Meanwhile Az st. has 3 of their best defenders out (NFL) and lets face it the PAC-10 isn't that strong so Az State's record is not that impressive.

I just don't see Pitt doing well vs Mich St.. Their QB (Pickett) is sitting for NFL draft and their backup (Patti) has 14 pass attempts. Sure they have All-American WR Addison ready to tear up the exceptionally poor Mich St secondary but will Patti get him the ball?.?.? But they have a chance because...

Mich St. is really dependent upon Walker (RB) to move the ball. But guess what.... He's sitting out for NFL. I'm not sure Throne (QB) can carry the team too far.

The total has dropped from 63 (open) to 56 pts. I'm just not seeing and edge on this game at these numbers. It might be an in-game bet after we see how the teams come out to play.
