NCAA Week 8

Time to continue our NCAA hot start. "LET'S GET ROCKIN!' - Jack Black in School of Rock

Rutgers -4.5
Heading into week 8, the Scarlet Knights are still not being taken seriously. With a 6-0 record and 3-0 record in the Big East, they face off against an average Temple team. Temple's offense averages 27 points a game but now they face the 3rd ranked defense in the league that allows an average of 11 points against, yes... 11. The Knights will continue to pound the rock and put up points behind their star running back Jawan Jamison. Take the spread.

Clemson -7.5
#19 Clemson face off against Virginia Tech at home today. VT's biggest problem has been their consistency. At 4-3, VT is winless on the road and Clemson's Memorial stadium can be an intimidating place. The Tigers are 4-0 at home and the place will be amped for this ACC matchup. VT cannot overcome the crowd and continue their mediocre season. Take the orange.

Iowa State +14
Look for Iowa State to keep it close vs. Oklahoma State in this game. Iowa State has cracked the top 25 being ranked #24 and don't expect them to give it up that easily, especially vs. another ACC foe. Oklahoma St. has more firepower than the Cyclones but the Cyclones have a much better defense. Expect a tight game where defense and ball control will determine the winner.
