Season record 9-2-2! On to today's games this Saturday 10/1/11.

Since it's an early start (11:00 CST), I'm getting these out early. DOUBLE DOWN PLAY! Take NW +10 at Illinois. NW is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings with Illinois which includes last year's debacle at Wrigley field when both teams had to go the same direction on offense because there wasn't enough room for two end zones! NW's starting QB Dan Persa was out and Illinois needed the win to become bowl eligible (IL won by 20). NW is getting 10 points, normally plays Illinois tough and has Persa back with revenge on their mind. Prediction Illinois 30, NW 27 (NW might win outright).

Take NC St +10.5 at home vs GT. NC State is desperate and should be able to keep this close at home. All GT can do is run (but they do it well). All NC State can do is pass (but they do that well). Prediction GT 37, NC St. 34 (NC St. may win outright at home getting points). I may post more plays later today but wanted to get these out (especially NW) there because of the early starts. I like NW alot! Let's get the man again with this one.
