Last Week: 4-0
Season: 24-23-1

Connecticut +19.5 over West Virginia. Since losing to South Florida, West Virginia has gone undefeated, scoring over 38 points a game. But they get a pretty stern test in an underrated Huskies defense that has already shut down Big East offenses like Louisville and Rutgers. They’ve allowed just 125 rushing yards a game. They won’t win in Morgantown, but they’ll keep it respectable.

UCLA +1.5 over Oregon. We’ve seen it all year. Whenever an undefeated team loses, they usually lose the next week too (Florida, South Florida, Boston College). I don’t think this game will be an exception. Without Dennis Dixon, this Oregon team is average. I’m not confident in Brady Leaf beating many teams, even if it’s an underachiever like UCLA.

Missouri +2 over Kansas. Every week, I ask the same questions. Is Kansas for real? Can they keep it up? Will they ever play a good team? Can Mark Mangino eat an entire village? We’ll get answers to some of those questions tonight in a surprising matchup of top five teams at Arrowhead Stadium. I haven’t watched much of either team this year but you can’t overlook one simple fact. Kansas hasn’t played a ranked team all season. Missouri is more battle-tested and they have the better quarterback.

Boston College -14 over Miami. Once again, did you see Miami last week?
