Records:The Bear (Last week: 4-2. Season: 21-8-1)Stanford Steve (Last week: 3-1. Season: 7-9-1)

Houston at Memphis (-3, 57.5)7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2, Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, Memphis,

The Bear: I've faded the Cougars twice and have been on the right side both times. However this is a spot I like Houston. Memphis may be 4-1, but wins over Navy, Arkansas State, North Texas and Temple hardly get the juices flowing. If the Cougars haven't thrown in the towel on the season, they should win this game.

Pick: Houston +3

Purdue at Maryland (-3, 58.5)12 p.m. ET, SECU Stadium, College Park, Maryland

Stanford Steve: When I watch these two teams play, the capability of each offense is ample simply due to the play making ability of each team's quarterbacks. Aiden O'Connell (Purdue) and Taulia Tagovailoa (Maryland) have combined to throw for 16 touchdowns and I think they both add to that total with multiple TDs each. Plenty has been made of the improvement of the Boilers' defense and it surely has, but I think the Terps do some damage thru the air, as do the Boilers. I'll take the over.

Pick: Over 58.5 (Maryland 35 Purdue 34)
