I just hit the deposit button to put more money on Michigan. Frames is gonna die because of No Balls Tony.

I just put 80 units on Michigan -4.5
It is an emotional bet, but I do not see how Michigan does not come out and pummel psu tomorrow .

The exact same way they lost to TCU. Michigan is too hyped up/JJ tries to do too much and throws a pick 6/Michigan fumbles another punt/etc. There are a million way things could go wrong, it's football.

JJ throwing picks had nothing to do with him trying to do too much, it was footwork and mechanics.

No line on the injunction being granted or not?

The VaTech @ BC, UT @ Missouri and Fresno St @ San Jose St lines seem really odd. Are there key injuries to BC, Fresno or Missouri?

San Jose State had a pretty good October --- they should have won at Boise State and were a bit unlucky to lose that one.
They will also have a sold out stadium for this one. That's highly unusual for SJSU, but they have some excitement behind their program right now.
Fresno is their rival, and back 10 Novembers ago they took out a Top 25 unbeaten team (this year's Fresno version is also Top 25, but 1 loss) that was heading toward a BCS Bowl.
Anyway - to answer your questions, no Fresno injuries. SJSU is in a good spot, and I think they win this one. I'm with the OP, the Spartans are my play.

Vegas not really reacting to the suspension news. Michigan still the favorite to win it all!!

2-3 last week after 4-0 the week before. Let's try again:
- SJSU -2 vs Fresno State. Explained my rationale upstream.
- Missouri +2.5 vs Tennessee. I think Missouri is a better team than UT: both talent AND coaching. And I get them as a home underdog? I'm taking that. If Mizzo wins this one likely finish 10-2 and they'll be in the picture for a NYD6 Bowl bid: that would be a truly great season for the Tigers.
- Miami FLA +14.5 at Florida State. That's a whole lot of points, and Miami, for all their issues, still has a whole lot of talent. Feels like a "last stand to make our season great" game for Miami. Miami was blown out in Tallahassee in 2013 by an elite FSU team. But outside of that, they've never lost by 5+ in Tallahassee since 1997.
- Auburn +2.5 at Arkansas. I know Arkansas had a nice win last week at Florida. But their UGLY 7-3 home loss to Mississippi State wasn't that long ago. I also feel Arkansas' advanced metrics are propped up a bit by "close" losses to Alabama, Ole Miss and LSU that weren't really that close. Auburn has started rolling downhill the past couple weeks, I think this spread under-values them.
- Colorado State -3.5 vs San Diego State. Some teams quit once the calendar turns to November. Feels like the Aztecs have been doing that. Brady's job is legitimately in trouble. CSU has lost 3 in a row but they haven't quit - a spirited effort in a tight loss to Wyoming last week. Bowl eligibility is still on the table for the Rams, they win & cover.
