Tide primed to roll over Aggies
Six more plays (home team in CAPS):
■ Wisconsin (-4) over IOWA — Off back-to-back seven-point losses to Michigan and Ohio State, Wisconsin will be looking to avoid a three-game losing streak when it travels to Iowa City. The Hawkeyes scored a total of 28 points in victories over Rutgers and Minnesota, and they simply are not in the Badgers’ class.
■ Hawaii (+17) over AIR FORCE — Coming off losses to Wyoming and New Mexico as a double-digit favorite, Air Force finds itself in the same role against an ever-improving Hawaii squad. The Falcons are 3-5 straight up in their past eight games against FBS opponents.
■ NAVY (+2) over Memphis — Navy got an unplanned off week when its game at East Carolina was postponed in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. Winds are forecast to be 20 to 30 mph, which could hinder Memphis’ passing game. Navy has been a moneymaker as an underdog, going 35-15 ATS in the role since the start of the 2009 season.
■ ARIZONA STATE (+7½) overWashing- ton State — Washington State coach Mike Leach is a pirate-like character and part of what makes college football fun. Leach recently accused the Sun Devils of stealing the Cougars’ signals. Arizona State has a six-game home win streak, and Washington State is a conference road favorite for only the second time in the past 10 seasons.
■ Louisiana-Monroe-NEW MEXICO (Over 62) — Four of New Mexico’s six games have resulted in 65 or more combined points. The Lobos’ option attack keyed by quarterback Lamar Jordan has scored 45 points or more in three of their six games in 2016. The Warhawks lost veteran quarterback Garrett Smith for the season because of injury last week, but Will Collins is a capable replacement.
■ Arkansas (+11) over AUBURN — Razorbacks quarterback Austin Allen continues to grow each week. These teams are essentially even on paper. Last week: 2-4 against the spread Season: 16-25 Paul Stone of VegasSportsAuthority.com is providing college football analysis for the Las Vegas ReviewJournal. Follow @paulstonesports on Twitter.
