The Missouri Tigers (5-2 SU, 3-3 ATS) have just come off a couple of games that were murder for them. They will try to take advantage of a highly winnable home game on Saturday when they play host to the Colorado Buffaloes (4-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Big 12 Conference that is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (artificial turf) in Columbia, MO.
An initial glimpse at the early lines for Week 8 in NFL betting reveals nothing surprising, although there are some numbers that have handicappers talking.
One game where the line will surely move before kickoff is the Buffalo Bills-Miami Dolphins matchup, where oddsmakers opened the Fish as 1.5-point home underdogs early on Monday.
This was supposed to be an improved season for Temple with 22 starters back, but three close losses and an injury to quarterback Adam DiMichele have hurt their chances.
Temple (2-5) will try to turn it around tonight when they host Ohio as three-point favorites at Sportsbook.com. The Total is 42.5 points. ESPN2 will broadcast the game starting at 8 pm ET.

Is it time to fade the picks in Quick Hits?
After giving bettors a number of winning weeks last season, Cras is having a tough time figuring out the increasingly complicated NCAA schedule and the numerous upsets of the top-ranked teams.
Even he admits that this week’s picks may be worth a fade after a disappointing 1-3 record last Saturday.
Here’s what he’s thinking this week:
Start your Saturday off right with three big college games leading up to the Missouri and Texas Super-Showdown on Saturday night.
Vanderbilt (+14.5) at Georgia 12:30 pm ET
Vanderbilt is enjoying one of its best seasons in history but is up against its toughest opponent to date on Saturday, Georgia. Playing in Athens, the Bulldogs are a 14-1/2 point favorite, but surprisingly, 60% of early bettors like the visiting underdogs.
The two teams who met in the ACC championship game last season will meet up again on Saturday, as the Boston College Eagles (4-1 SU, 2-2 ATS) play host to the Virginia Tech Hokies (5-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) in NCAA college football betting action that is set to get underway at 8 PM ET at Alumni Stadium (artificial turf) in Chestnut Hill, MA.
The Purdue Boilermakers (2-4 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) have been overwhelmed by a difficult early schedule. On Saturday they will try to start turning things around when they face the Wildcats of Northwestern (5-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) in NCAA football action in the Big Ten Conference, scheduled to get underway at Noon ET at Ryan Field (natural turf) in Evanston, IL.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane (6-0 SU, 4-1 ATS) has been sailing along with one of the most explosive offenses in the country. On Saturday the Hurricane hopes it doesn’t lose momentum as it touches ground, as it hosts the MIners of the University of Texas at El Paso (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) in an NCAA college football matchup that is slated to kick off at 8 PM ET at Chapman Stadium (artificial turf) in Tulsa, OK.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-0 SU, 2-1-1 ATS) are having a fantastic season, undefeated and still very much in the running for the national championship. On Saturday they take to the road, traveling to College Station to meet up with the Aggies of Texas A&M (2-4 SU, 1-5 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Big 12 Conference, scheduled to take place at Noon ET at Kyle Field (natural turf).
The USC Trojans (4-1 SU & ATS), who after two consecutive blowout victories like to think they;re back on a path to a possible national title game, will engage in a workout up in Pullman, WA on Saturday when they take on the outmanned Washington State Cougars (1-6 SU, 0-6 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Pacific-10 Conference, scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM ET at Martin Stadium (artificial turf)
Two teams who were involved in absolute nail-biters last weekend will get together in the Windy City on Sunday, when the Minnesota Vikings (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) face off against the Chicago Bears (3-3 SU, 3-2-1 ATS) in NFC North action that is set for a 1 PM ET kickoff at Soldier Field (natural turf) in Chicago.
The Mean Green of North Texas (0-6 SU, 1-5 ATS) will try to put their first win of the season on the board on Saturday when they lock horns with the Warhawks of Louisiana-Monroe (1-5 SU, 2-3 ATS) in a Sun Belt Conference game in NCAA football that is scheduled for 7 PM ET at Malone Stadium (natural turf) in Monroe, LA.
