Weekly CFB Pedigree Report (Erik Scheponik)

Here’s a look at some of this weekend’s game whose pointspreads stand out from a historical sense. 
312  Kansas (+23)at Nebraska The Jayhawks blew out the Cornhuskers 40-15 in Lincoln last year in a PICK EM contest
321  Virginia (-5) at Duke-  The Cavs have laid double digits in 14 out of the last 15 meetings between these two teams, and have lost only once during that span.
335 Purdue (+14)at Notre Dame-  Notre Dame has only been favored in 1 of the past 7 meetings
339 Kansas St. (+2) at Baylor-  Baylor is giving points to a team that has outscored them 179-33 in their last 4 meetings.  The Wildcats laid AT LEAST 32 in every meeting! 
351 Miami(OH) (+11) at Cincinnati-  Cincy hasn’t laid more than a touchdown in this Queen City Rivalry since 1989. 
365 Colorado (+16) at Missouri-  The Tigers have been home chalk against CU 5 times since 1980.  They won and covered all 5 of those.  In the last 10 meetings, the average spread was CU -7.
371  Akron (-2.5) at Kent-  This from Tom Scott: The Golden Flashes are 4-63 SU since .500> opposition since 1990!
* Quick Tidbit-  Those of you who think Purdue has a chance at the outright upset at Notre Dame, realize that the Boilermakers have NEVER won a game as a road underdog under Joe Tiller.
