Stanford @ TCU
Spread: TCU -13
TCU has looked very strong in their first two games led by QB Andy Dalton. Stanford was roughed up last week by Arizona State and will have a hard time trying to keep up with TCU’s speed.
Stanford is led by a very weak senior quarterback in Tavita Pritchard, and when TCU gets a lead, the Cardinal will have to give up on a beast of a running back in Toby Gerhart and have to rely on Pritchard to make throws, which won’t happen.
Predicted Score: TCU 32, Stanford 17
Take TCU
Oregon @ Purdue
Spread: Oregon -8
Not much has been heard of Curtis Painter and the Boilermakers this year, but look out for Painter to light the scoreboard up. Even though the Ducks boast a strong secondary, Purdue has had much preparation. Look for this game to go over as well.
Predicted Score: Oregon 40, Purdue 35
Take Purdue

Wisconsin @ Fresno St.
Spread: Wisconsin -1.5
This is a game I look for Fresno State to just out score Wisconsin. Pat Hill has one of the best teams he has had in the valley. Look for Fresno State to possible sneak into the BCS discussion this year much like other members of the WAC have the past two years. Wisconsin looks a little inexperienced, primary at the quarterback position.
Predicted Score: Wisconsin 21, Fresno St. 31
Take Fresno State
North Carolina @ Rutgers
Spread Rutgers -4
Look for a TJ Yates and the North Carolina offense to be clicking well in that they return 10 starters from last year. North Carolina has the athletes to be extremely impressive this year, but consistency is the only downside. However, this week on Thursday night, I look for the Tar Heels to be up for taking on a declining Rutgers team on the road.
North Carolina 35, Rutgers 31
Take North Carolina
Georgia Tech @ Virginia Tech
Spread Virginia Tech -6.5
Look for Va. Tech to play tremendous assignment defense against a Georgia Tech option offense. Va. Tech will creating turnovers and play what the world has come to call Beamer Ball, or good special teams for those that are unfamiliar with the Hokies. I'm predicting Glennon to do what he has to and take care of the ball relying on their defense and strong run game.
Virginia Tech 24, Georgia Tech 10
Take Virginia Tech
