(3 Unit Play Over) The Iowa Hawkeyes offense isn't the terrible unit it was a few years ago. They are 50th in the nation in success rate. They are third in YPC. This offensive line is pushing around defensive fronts. Their performance at Washington was really impressive, and it seems the new quarterback is an upgrade.

Minnesota is 110th in PPA per rush this season. The Golden Gophers defense has been awful in the red zone. Opponents are scoring a touchdown on 78% of trips into the red zone against them.

Iowa's run defense is elite, but their secondary is giving up yards this year. Minnesota has been throwing it pretty well and should have some success.

This total is set like an Iowa total from 4 or 5 years ago.

Back the over.

Baylor's offense has been imploding this season and we could actually see the struggles continue here against a KU defense that actually played pretty well for three quarters against Arizona State and Missouri earlier this season. The team was a little out of its element against Utah, and then KU lost the showdown last week against Kansas State, as they always do.

This team cannot win shootouts, and I dont think we are getting one here. KU wants to run the football and the offensive scheme requires it. Baylor is the best defense KU will have lined up against this season by a wide amount. KU is not going to be able to run the ball here and relying on the quarterback to throw passes where he is completing just 49% is going to be a tough ask.

Baylor has an excellent red zone defense that will force Kansas to make tough 4th down conversions or kick field goals. The Baylor offense is struggling and we saw it last week, I think its more of the same here. Under

Toledo rebounded nicely last week on the road against Eastern Michigan after being embarrassed at home by Buffalo the week prior. Toledo has been excellent against the run this season allowing just 3.5 yards per carry and this could be a real problem for a WMU offense that is not explosive. I expect WMU to have to throw the ball on third down often here and I do not trust the passing game for WMU to be able to execute and stay on the field on the road here in this game.

The Broncos are on back to back travel off a trip to Central Michigan and the WMU offensive line has played underwhelming football this season. This should show up here against a strong Toledo defensive front. This is going to be a slower paced game but the team with the better offense, playing at home should pull away late. I am willing to lay the number here with Toledo.

We are not getting the full compliment of play makers for Oregon and the offense has looked really bad without Dante Moore at quarterback. The quarterback play from Raiola and Thomas has not been anywhere close to what we are used to seeing and the Oregon offense cannot find the big, game changing plays downfield.

We have seen this team against UCLA and Nebraska at home here not be able to move the ball and most of the possessions have ended with punts. The defense should travel well here against Illinois however, and the Illini are also on a back up quarterback in this game. He is a true freshman and this is a tough assignment for him in his first start.

Illinois is going to run the ball more in this game, and the pace should be slow. Each team has more offensive questions than answers, and we like the under.

North Texas has been vastly improved and the Mean Green have exceeded our expectations as the offense has been incredible with Tayven Jackson at quarterback. UNT should be the fresher team as this group has not played a game since October 10th at Charlotte, and the unit had 10 days off before that as well. So one game in 23 days and it was a 50-10 blowout win over Charlotte.

Navy has been struggling defensively and the Mids are not a strong defense. The coverage unit cannot hold up against these receivers and UNT is going to score a bunch of points here even being on the road. Navy has figured out its offensive woes since Braxton Woodson went down with an injury and Gutierrez has played better and thrown the ball better, but Navy does not have the horses to hang with UNT for 4 quarters. The talent disparity is massive and UNT is showing that they are a team that can win this conference.

Navy is way down, no where close to what they have been been over the last two years. We like North Texas.

The drop off at quarterback for Mississippi State from Kamario Taylor to Parker Puckett, and the rumor around the MSU camp is that Taylor is further away from coming back in this one than people realize. I saw it last week with the backup QB in there and the offense was so unprepared to execute. The defense is also not strong enough to keep the Bulldogs within this short number, even against the OU offense.

The Oklahoma defense is still a strong unit that is going to show up and play good football here, and I would expect MSU to struggle to score more than 13 points in this game. Its hard to lay points on the road with a team that is 0-3 SU and ATS on the road this season, but the MSU offense has to be downgraded 14 points with the backup QB in there.

If Taylor suits up, so be it. He will be limited in his mobility and after 2-3 big hits or tweaks on the foot, he will be severely limited anyway. We love OU this week, and MSU is going to be a fade team the rest of the way here for Info Cash in all likelihood.
