CBS Expert Picks - McMurphy picks Ball State

Not sure if posted before or not but 3 of the 7 writers pick BSU over USF.

Edit - Just noticed that this is against the spread and not straight up. Will Skip ever allow us to run up the score against anyone? We have been up and in control in the last two games and we've gone into run the clock out mode. Both games came down to onside kicks. Hopfully we can put BSU away early and not go into this mode.

3 nuts in a bunch.  I think Ball STate is a decent team and will do okay, but we are better than IU so this is crazy.  Plus BMM hates USF, so not surprised.  He probably smiled when he picked that upset.

Those picks are verse the spread, not for an outright win.  Just means they like Ball State with the 20+ points.

Brett McMurphy is a clowntard.

Look how many people also pick UAB over UF, Toledo over OSU and FAU over Michigan St, and Duke over Stanford.

vs. the spread....makes much more sense.  :Duh

I think if I were getting the points I would also take BSU. We didn't beat WKU by that much last year. Only the FAU and Stonybrook wins were more than 20 points.

Real experts don't work with the spread ....

That's just to get the money flowing out in Vegas.

LMFAO

On Skip not running up the score, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with this, he's not as bad as Bill Stewart at least.

That said, I don't think he minds "running up" the score, but against an opponent like ND or Clemson who could come back in a hurry he's going to just squat on the ball instead of take a chance with BJ throwing picks. He still doesn't have his full trust probably.
