Besides the issues they have with some key starters, their fast start (4-0) is not looking all that good right now with the two straight losses in league. The four teams they beat were by a total of 25pts. They really didn't beat their cupcakes up. Granted, they won them all but we were just about the same as them with our three OOC games and if you add the probability of what will happen when we play Army, we look to be even more the same.
You can probably argue that their "best game" was the close loss to OSU by 3pts. But, like we found out Sat. night, OSU is probably also over-rated.
Their loss to PSU pretty much mirrors our bad loss to them too.
As I see it, we are really pretty equal. As for their questionable players, the odds makers were not posting any lines yet. They obviously see what happens there as significant.
I'm liking our chances here.
