Colorado takes on West Virginia on ESPN. The college football odds has West Virginia -17.5, though Bodog has -17 -115. The total is 54.5 to 55.

Colorado is 1-2 straight up and against the spread. WVU is 2-1 straight up, both wins at home and 1-1 to the number. Both lined games have gone over.

The Buffaloes are horrible on both sides of the ball. On offense they get 3.1 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.3 and 5.6 passing yards per attempt to 6.3.

Defensively they allow a scary 4.5 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.0 and 9.0 yards per pass to 7.0.

The Mountaineers just roll along getting 5.2 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.3 and 9.0 yards per pass to 7.8. In yards per play, West Virginia gets 7.0 to 5.8.

Defensively they allow just 2.7 yards per rush to teams normally getting 4.3, 6.5 passing yards per attempt to 7.0 and 4.7 yards per play to 5.6.

The revenge factor is here for the Mountaineers. Fresh off a horrible loss to East Carolina, WVU was flat in a 17-14 overtime loss to Colorado last season.

Is this bulletin board material or a sign of how seriously West Virginia wants to destroy Colorado? S Roberts Sands said his Mountaineers are “looking for a goose egg. We’re going to shut them out.”

Will the Buffs be focused? Their next team games are at No. 2 Texas and hosting No. 18 Kansas, both conference foes.

It’s not a short week for either team as both squads are off a bye week.

Against the spread records: Colorado is 2-11 as road underdogs. WVU is 1-5 after getting more than 280 yards passing last game.

Oklahoma Sooners @ Miami Hurricanes 

Sportsbook: Oklahoma -7.5

The Oklahoma Sooners are looking for some redemption and they can get it this week with a win. On one hand, they would have rather that Miami win last week in Blacksburg, which would have made this a matchup of two Top 10 teams. Instead, the Sooners will still face a Top 25 team and hope to get back some credibility.

Oklahoma‘s defense has very quietly performed very well. They have held BYU and Tulsa, two teams with very prolific offenses, to just 27 total points in those two contests. That’s not great news for Miami, who struggled against a high caliber defense last week.

On top of that, the Hurricanes defense has been gashed several times this year, which is really bad news. The Hurricanes pass defense was exposed in Week 1 by Florida State and the run defense was exposed by Virginia Tech.

This is just another bad matchup for the Hurricanes as they are proving to be more and more overrated by the second. Look for the Sooners to hang a number on them and get their credibility back. Also, keep in mind that the Sooners are off a bye week and have had an extra week to prepare for this contest. 

Sports Picks: Sooners -7.5

Virginia Tech Hokies @ Duke Blue Devils

College Football Odds: Hokies -16.5

There is good news and bad news for the Duke Blue Devils. The good news is that Duke is coming into this contest on a high after an offensive outburst last week that gave them a 49-14 win. The bad news is that last week they played North Carolina Central and this week they face a Top 10 team in the nation.

Since Virginia Tech joined the ACC, they have been smacking around Duke every year. The Hokies have won all five meetings against Duke and the average winning margin has been at least 24 points.

The problem for Duke this week will be that they their run defense just isn’t up to the task. The Hokies have one of the best ground games around and they are going to run circles around Duke. On the flip side, Duke doesn’t have the offense to match points and they are going up against one of the best defenses around. This is a very bad matchup for them.
