Week 13: Mid-Week Predictions

The theme for this week will be "disagreement". All-in-all, Eddie and I disagree on the outcome of 11 out of 54 games. Most of these are ones where the outcome is expected to be close -- neither of us is more than 56% certain about Pitt/WVU or Tulsa/Southern Miss., and the Vegas line on each game is about a field goal. There are even two games we agree on (Texas/Texas A&M and ECU/SMU) where neither of us is particularly sure. Friday is notable as being Boise State's last real challenge on the way to an undefeated season. Neither system thinks too much of Nevada's odds against the Broncos, even at home. TCU has all be wrapped up their undefeated season, so we'll know by Friday night if we'll have one or two non-AQ teams left undefeated.
