CFB 11/5
Miami @ Virginia Tech over 41(-102)
Both teams have great defenses, but they can also put points on the board, especially VT. Both teams have stopped a bunch of crappy offenses, and won't be as dominant on D today.
Baylor +30(+103) vs. Texas
Baylor has only lost 1 home game by 30 in the past 2 years, a 35-0 loss to Oklahoma last year. Their defense is very good, and their offense can keep them in the game. They kept it much closer with Tech than the score would tell you, and I wouldn't put it past Texas to start off slow like last week(and every road game they had last year). It's the Big XII Lock of the Week.
Texas A&M +410 @ Texas Tech
Yes, Texas A&M's secondary is horrible, and Tech is very good at passing. However, Tech's passing game is primarily made of short passes and screens, and without a running game, A&M's linebackers will be able to help a lot in coverage. It looks like A&M has quit this season, but this is a rivalry game, and I think Fran will have them fired up. Tech's defense is a lot worse than people think, and when A&M's offense is in sync, it's better than Tech's.
