Two Afternoon Football Additions

Like the title says, two more for this afternoon:

Nevada +26 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit

Bookies tipped their hand a little bit with that half-point retreat last night, despite almost 70% public love for Missouri. Missouri offense very good, but Nevada is no slouch in that phase of the game (11th nationally last year in yards per game). Missouri gave up 451 yards passing and 5 touchdowns to Juice Williams a couple of weeks ago (his high last year was 220 yards passing), and I think Nevada will score enough to keep this one within the number.

Central Michigan -3 -104, 1.04 units to win 1 unit

Are we allowed to say that Team A is just better than Team B any more? Is that within the modern handicapping rules? Ohio isn't all of a sudden on the same level as CMU just because they caught Ohio State sleepwalking last week, while CMU got whipped by Georgia. CMU clearly superior, and it shows today.

Back later with at least one more addition for tonight. And, yes, I'm feeling better this morning, thanks for asking.
