Overall record: 11-9 (.550)
This
week was good to start with, but quickly turned sour. North Carolina looked like garbage against East Carolina, Northern Illinois just didn't have the horses to keep up with Arkansas, and Missouri was trash vs Indiana. Ugly.
1. Auburn @ Kansas St (+9) | WINNER (Auburn 20 - Kansas St 14)
Thursday 6:30pm CT | ESPN | Manhattan, KS
Kansas St had the gameplan, and executed wonderfully on defense... but missed multiple field goals and thew a pick in the endzone early. They had their chances and still found a way to lose the game, but cover the number.
2. Indiana @ Missouri (-14) | LOSER (Indiana 31 - Mizzou 27)
Saturday 3pm CT | SEC Network | Columbia, MO
Missouri looked absolutely awful. This game had nothing to do with turnovers or anything flukey - Indiana just played straight up with them the entire ballgame. Scary for the Tigers.
3. Northern Illinois (+14.5) @ Arkansas | LOSER (Arkansas 52 - Northern Illinois 14)
Saturday 6pm CT | ESPNU | Fayetteville, AR
NIU was on a roll... and Arkansas demolished them. This is a good Razorback team. They know what they're doing, and they do it really well. Texas A&M will have their hands full this week.
4. Tulane @ Duke (-17) | WINNER (Duke 47 - Tulane 13)
Saturday 11:30am CT | FSN | Durham, NC
Duke smoked em. It was close early... then they came out for the 2nd half and Duke finally got the ball rolling.
5. North Carolina (+3) @ East Carolina | LOSER (ECU 70 - UNC 41)
Saturday 2:30pm CT | ESPNU | Greenville, NC
East Carolina is legit this year. Hangin 70 on North Carolina is impressive. UNC should be better than this.
