I picked a lot of home teams this week. A few thoughts on the games above and others not listed. Follow me here. I really don’t know what to make of the Cal/OSU game. I hope they win. The road team has done well recently in this rivalry. Regardless of the outcome, I think they will lose to Stanford. So if you believe that then how can Stanford be getting +23.5 points at home, when USC was favored by 21 at the Coliseum? USC is not that talented, and the Pac 10 as a unit is pretty weak, obviously. With that said, I really like Stanford to cover the spread vs. USC. They won’t win though. After the emotional loss at Iowa, I like Penn state to bounce back big at home vs. Indiana. Maryland plays well at home and will “upset UNC. I don’t care who does the play calling for ND, Charlie Weiss is a big fat bust.

College plays

ILLINOIS +10 vs. Ohio State
STANFORD +23.5 vs. Usc
BYU – 5.5 @ Air Force
PENN STATE -35.5 vs. Indiana
NAVY +4 vs. Notre Dame
MARYLAND +3 vs. Unc
WASHINGTON +7 vs. ucla

NFL plays
The Panthers is the obvious survivor play. They are two touchdown favorites over a QB that was retired last week.

BUCS -3.5 vs. Minnesota
PITT -5 vs. San Diego
