THE ROAST OF THE WEEK
OKLAHOMA OVER BAYLOR BY 28

Last week Baylor had all their eggs stacked in one basket as they looked to get that signature win against the Cornhuskers. But as the Bears so often learn, eggs are prone to shatter and shatter they did last week in Waco. Now a Bear running on fumes in its emotional tank will try to regroup and win at Norman. Fat chance of that happening as under Stoops leadership the Sooners have blasted the Bears to the tune of 43 to 8 on average and have been favored by more than 35 each time. Granted OU is a little down this year but not by this margin. Look for the Bears to go back into hibernation Sooner rather than later.
OKLAHOMA - 31 BAYLOR - 3

TOTALS GAME
TENNESSEE - ARIZONA OVER 45
Since the beginning of this month the Cardinals have lost 3 players from their secondary and I look for Steve McNair to take full advantage. On the other side is the Cardinal offense that ranks 2nd in the league who will have it's way against a porous Titan secondary. With the Titans having played 5 straight overs vs. an opponent off a bye and with Arizona 4-1 to the over after scoring more than 20 in back to back games (including 4-1 to the over in all games this year), we'll look for fireworks in the desert.
ARIZONA - 31 TENNESSEE - 27

THE BARKING DOG
OREGON ST. OVER UCLA BY 3


Wandering into the kennel this week we find a buck toothed flat tail that has been averaging 35 points per game in it's last 8 contest. They are also led by a former UCLA QB in Matt Moore who has produced 4 straight PAC 10 road wins the last of which was against highly ranked Cal. The Bruins meanwhile still sport an undefeated record yet it's all smoke and mirrors as UCLA continues to come from behind while actually being outgained in 4 of 6 contests this year. With Oregon St. suddenly finding a run game and the Bruins having allowed 330 yards on the ground to each of its last 2 opponents, it's like Marc Antony said to Cleopatra "I love this Beaver!"
