10-14-21 | Navy +11 v. Memphis | 17-35 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Navy started the season with a pair of bad losses. They lost their opener at home to Marshall, 7-49 and then at home another bad loss to Air Force, 3-23. They were outscored in those two games, 10-72. However, they seem to have gotten better since. They lost their third game at Houston, 20-28, but covered the 20.5 point line. Then they beat Central Florida, 34-30, against cover a double digit dog line. Last week they gave SMU all they could handle in a 24-31 loss as another double digit dog. That's three decent opponents they have hung tough against and covered the spread. They go to Memphis here tonight. Memphis has gone the other way. After opening the season with a 3-0 and 2-0-1 ATS records, they have lost three straight games. That includes a 31-34 loss at Temple as a 11-point favorite. The problem has been their defense, they have allowed 29 or more points in each of their last five games. The defense ranks 117th in the country. Navy has the 58th ranked defense in the country. Yet, here they are getting double digits again tonight. I'll take the points tonight with Navy. |

10-12-21 | Appalachian State v. UL-Lafayette OVER 56.5 | 13-41 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
 Early Sun Belt action starts the college football week here on Tuesday evening as Appalachian State takes on UL Lafayette. App State has won eight of the last nine meetings between these teams. App State has one of the best offenses, ranked 16th nationally and averaging 35.2 ppg this year. They have a very balanced attack with 197 rushing yards per game and another 284 passing. The Mountaineers are coming off a win at Georgia State, 45-16. ULL lost their opening game to Texas, 18-38 and since then have won four straight games. They are coming off a win at South Alabama last week, 20-18, though they failed to cover the 13-point line. App State should get plenty of points here tonight. Lafayette will likely need to match them to stay in this one. Take the OVER. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Wyoming v. Air Force -5 | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
The Wyoming Cowboys make the short trek South here today to Colorado Springs to take on Air Force. Wyoming is 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS after last week's win over Connecticut, 24-22 as a 30-point favorite. That's right, they won by just two points as more than a 4-TD favorite. Won't get any easier here today. The Air Force is 4-1 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the season. The Falcons are coming off a win at New Mexico, 38-10 as a 11-point favorite. The defense, with the exception of 49-points to Utah State, has been very good. They haven't allowed more than 14 points in four of their five games. The defense ranks 15th overall in the FBS. Wyoming has the 48th ranked defense. Air Force has the 32nd ranked offense and most of that is on the ground as they average 367 yard per game rushing. Wyoming has the 90th ranked offense. The Falcons laying only 5-points at home is too much for me to pass up on. Take Air Force. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | UTSA +3.5 v. Western Kentucky | 52-46 | Win | 100 | 20 h 36 m | Show | |
Texas San Antonio (UTSA) is 5-0 S/U and 4-1 ATS on the season after beating UNLV at home last week, 24-17. Though they did fail to cover the 21-point line, their first non-cover of the season. Western Kentucky is 1-3 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the season. The Hill Toppers have had a great offense, scoring at least 31 points in every game. However, the defense has been equally as bad, allowing 33 or more in three of their four games. Western ranks 114th in overall defense, but 8th in overall offense. UTSA has the 46th ranked offense and the 22nd ranked defense. Should be lots of points in this contest. However, getting points with a undefeated team against a team with a terrible defense is right up my alley. Play Texas San Antonio. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Penn State +2 v. Iowa | 20-23 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
Great Big 10 matchup here on Saturday as No 4 Penn State takes on the No 3 Hawkeyes in Iowa. Iowa is 5-0 S/U and 2-0 in the Big Ten while Penn State is also 5-0 S/U and 2-0 in the Big 10. That makes this a monster matchup on Saturday. This promises to be a good old fashioned defensive contest on Saturday. Iowa ranks 8th overall in defense while Penn State is 33rd. Penn State has had a very good redzone defense, allowing just 5-TD's in 15 redzone trips for a very good 41.9% redzone efficiency. Penn State has covered two of the last three meetings with Iowa. The teams met last year in Penn State with Iowa winning 41-21. Penn State has a bit of revenge on their mind after that home beating they took last year. I'll take Penn State and the points here today. |
|||||||
10-09-21 | Georgia -14.5 v. Auburn | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 16 h 6 m | Show | |
The nations best defense will be on display here in Saturday's matchup between Georgia and Auburn. Georgia ranks #1 overall in total defense allowing a mere 181 total yards per game. They have also not allowed a single TD in the redzone this year and just three field goals in five total trips. That ranks as the nation's top redzone efficiency of 25.7%. Auburn is no defensive slouch themselves, ranking 22nd overall with 299 yards allowed per game. Auburn is 4-1 overall and coming off a come-from-behind win over LSU last week, 24-19. The 2nd ranked Georgia Bulldogs won't give Auburn anytime to relax though. Georgia has allowed ONE touchdown all season. Not sure if Auburn cracks the TD zone here on Saturday. Play Georgia. |
|||||||
10-08-21 | Temple +30 v. Cincinnati | 3-52 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
The Temple Owns are big dogs here tonight as they face one of the best in the nation in Cincinnati. Cincinnati is 4-0 on the season and coming off a huge win at No 10 Notre Dame last week. Temple had to come from a 17-point deficit last week to get a win against Memphis, 34-17. Cincinnati is led by Senior QB Desmond Ridder who was 19-of-32 last week for 297 yards. Ridder has now been having his name thrown around the Heisman hunt. Cincy also has a great defense, allowing just 14.5 ppg this year and that ranks 8th in the FBS. Obviously Cincinnati has the winner here tonight. My questions is this, will they have a let down after last week and how much do they care about this Temple team? With the Owls being around 29-point dogs, I can see them squeezing inside that number. Cincinnati might play more younger players here tonight. I'm going to take a shot with the points in this one. Play Temple. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | UL-Lafayette -12 v. South Alabama | 20-18 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 47 m | Show | |
 UL Lafayette is 3-1 after dropping their first game of the season to Texas, 18-38. Since then they have beaten Nicholls State, Ohio U and last week over Georgia Southern. South Alabama is 3-0 after beating Southern Miss in their opening games and then Bowling Green and Alcorn State. They didn't cover either of those last two games however. Lafayette has won the last five meetings in this series, though they have covered just three of those. Lafayette has the 50th ranked offense in the country. South Alabama is ranked 97th in the country despite playing Bowling Green and Alcorn State. I am going to lay the price here with the visitor. Play UL Lafayette. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Western Kentucky v. Michigan State -10.5 | 31-48 | Win | 100 | 22 h 18 m | Show | |
Western Kentucky travels to East Lansing, MI here today to face its second Big 10 opponent this season. Last week W Ky faced off against Indiana, but came up 2-points short, 31-33. The Hilltoppers have covered their first three games of the season. Meanwhile, Michigan State is 4-0 on the season and was lucky to get by Nebraska last week, 23-20. MSU had just 71 rushing yards and 183 passing yards. They were not only outgained by 176 yards, but had 33 fewer offensive plays then the Huskers. I look for Michigan State to bounce back this week against this Western Kentucky club and make up for their lackluster performance last week. Play Michigan State. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Army -10 v. Ball State | Top | 16-28 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 47 m | Show |
Army comes into today's contest a perfect 4-0 S/U and 2-2 ATS. They are coming off a win over Miami Ohio, 23-10 as a 7.5-point favorite. Can't say the same for Ball State who after winning their opening season game vs Western Illinois, they have since lost three straight games. The Cardinals are also 0-4 ATS on the season and have scored more than 13 points just once and that was the opener. Ball State is ranked 107th defensively in the country while Army is ranked 15th. Army ranks 60th on offense and averages a nation leading 345 yards per game on the ground. Ball State is 117th on offense. Ball State won't have an answer for the Army rushing game here on Saturday. Look for Army to control the game on the ground and win this one going away. Play Army. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Arkansas State +2 v. Georgia Southern | 33-59 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
 Arkansas State is 1-3 S/U and 2-1-1 ATS on the season. Two teams with defensive liabilities meet here on Saturday. Arkansas State can't seem to stop the run and Georgia Southern can't seem to stop the pass. Arkansas State did cover last week at Tulsa, losing 34-41 as a 14-point dog. They gave up 308 yards rushing to Tulsa. Georgia Southern lost at home to UL Lafayette last week, 20-28. The loss dropped Ga Southern to 1-3 S/U and ATS on the year. This looks to me like a game where the last team to have the ball might win it all. I do like the visitor a bit more in this one though. Play Arkansas State. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech +3.5 | 52-21 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 49 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh is 3-1 S/U and 2-1 ATS on the season. Can't really count last week though as they beat up on New Hampshire to the tune of 77-7. That can skew their offensive and defensive numbers. The only real team they played was at home against Tennessee which they won and covered, 41-34. Georgia Tech is 2-2 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the season. Tech is coming off it's most impressive win of the season, a 45-22 win over North Carolina as a 11.5-point dog. I like the competition that Tech has played thus far in NCU and Clemson, compared to the relative cream puffs the Panthers have faced. I'll take Georgia Tech here on Saturday. |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Arkansas v. Georgia UNDER 49 | 0-37 | Win | 100 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
 SEC Action here today has Arkansas taking on the Georgia Bulldogs. Arkansas is 4-0 on the season both S/U and ATS. Their defense has been great, allowing 10 points twice, 17 and 21 points. The defense ranks 12th nationally, allowing 267 yards per game. They are coming off a win over Texas A&M last week 20-10 as a 5.5-point dog. This will be their first road game of the season here today. Georgia is also 4-0 S/U and 3-1 ATS on the season. The Dogs have allowed a total of 20 points on the season and have the nation's top ranked defense with just 186 yards allowed per game. They also have yet to allow a red-zone touch down this year. This looks to be one of the best defensive battles this weekend with two top D's going head to head. I'm going to stick with the UNDER here as points will be at a premium Play UNDER. |
|||||||
10-01-21 | BYU v. Utah State +9.5 | 34-20 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Reason: The Battle for the Old Wagon Wheel takes place tonight in Login Utah when No 13 BYU faces off against Utah State. BYU is 4-0 on the season and looks to make a statement as to why they need to be considered for the CFB Playoff finals. They are coming off a win over South Florida, 35-27. Utah State is 3-1 on the season but is coming off a loss to Boise State, 3-27 last week. The teams have split covering the last four meetings with no matchup in 2020. Aggies getting almost 10 points here tonight. This rivalry game usually brings out the best in Utah State, though BYU is the more talented team. I'll take the points and see if the Aggies can rebound from lst week's poor performance. Play Utah State. |
|||||||
10-01-21 | Iowa v. Maryland +3 | 51-14 | Loss | -101 | 20 h 26 m | Show | |
Iowa brings its perfect 4-0 record into today's game at Maryland. The Hawkeyes are off a 24-14 win over Colorado State, though they failed to cover the spread. It was their first cover fail of the season. The defense has been the biggest part of this team. Iowa has the 13th ranked overall defense. They will have a big test here tonight against one of the more dynamic offenses in the country. Maryland is ranked 13th overall in offense in the country. Maryland is 4-0 on the season and has scored 30 points or more in three of their four games. That includes 30 points against a very good West Virginia defense to start the season. The Iowa offense will need to rely on their defense. The offense ranks 122nd in the country and average 293 yards per game. This game really comes down to the Iowa defense against the Maryland offense. For me, I'm getting points at home with a very good offense, I'll take that. Play Maryland. |
|||||||
10-01-21 | Houston v. Tulsa -3 | 45-10 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
The Houston Cougars look to improve to 4-1 here tonight as they visit Tulsa. The Cougars lost their season opener to Texas Tech, 21-38. Since then they have beaten Rice, Grambling and then last week 28-20 over Navy. Meanwhile, Tulsa is 1-3 on the season as they won their first game of the year last week at home over Arkansas State, 41-34. The Golden Hurricane did lose to UC Davis in their opener, 17-19. They then went to Oklahoma State and played well, covering but losing outright 23-28. They also covered against Ohio state, 20-41. Big difference in competition these teams have played. While Tulsa has just one win they have played the better opponents. Tulsa has covered three of the last four in this series, though they didn't play last year due to Covid. I'm going to take the home team here tonight. Play Tulsa. |
|||||||
09-25-21 | Indiana v. Western Kentucky +9.5 | 33-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 39 m | Show | |
Indiana looks to get back to winning today after losing at home last week to Cincinnati, 24-38. The Illini turned the ball over four times in that loss compared to just two take aways. Despite losing by 14, they had 42 more yards, 5 more plays and the same amount of first downs. Turnovers played the key role. Indiana is 1-2 both S/U and ATS on the season. The Illini play their last non-con game here today before getting solely into Big 10 play. Western Kentucky had last week off after losing to Army the previous week. 25-28. Indiana has just the 116th ranked offense in country after three games with just 316 yards per game. Compare that to W.Ky that is ranked 12th in offense with 532 yards per game. Indiana is a 9 point road dog and for me that's too many points to give a good offensive team. Play Western Kentucky. |
|||||||
09-25-21 | Clemson v. NC State +10.5 | 21-27 | Win | 100 | 14 h 12 m | Show | |
 ACC matchup here today has NC State hosting Clemson. Clemson might be one of the biggest disappointments of the season thus far. Clemson had a lackluster win at home last week to Georgia Tech, 14-8. The Tigers had only 284 yards of offense to Tech's 318 yards. They had six fewer plays and just 126 yards passing. The Tigers offense also sputtered in their opening game loss to Georgia, 3-10. Their only good game came against South Carolina State, 49-3. NC State is 2-1 both S/U and ATS as they are coming off win over Furman, 45-7. The Wolfpack opened the season with a nice win over South Florida, 45-0 and then lost at home to Mississippi State, 10-24. Clemson is ranked 114th in the country in offense while NC State is ranked 31st. Both teams have under performed, but Clemson has look pretty bad thus far. I'll take NC State at home today. |
|||||||
09-25-21 | Texas A&M v. Arkansas +5.5 | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 14 h 11 m | Show | |
A Top 25 matchup here on Sunday pits No 7 Ranked Texas A&M against No 16 ranked Arkansas. Both teams are coming into this game 3-0. A&M is coming off an easy win over New Mexico last week, 34-0. The Aggies had 429 yards of offense to just 122 for the Lobos. Arkansas also had little issue last week with Georgia Southern. The Hogs had 633 yards to just 233 for Ga Southern. Arkansas is ranked 22nd in the nation in offense with 492 yards per game. Texas A&M is 33rd with 446 yards. Arkansas is 4-1 ATS in their last five game. Arkansas is getting 5-points here at home today. I think they can win this game outright, but I'll take the points. Play Arkansas. |
|||||||
09-25-21 | LSU v. Mississippi State +2.5 | 28-25 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
If there was already a big game in the SEC, this could be it. The Miss State Bulldogs are 2-1 and are coming off a loss at Memphis, 29-31 for their first loss. They opened the season with win over La Tech, 35-34 and then a win over NC State, 24-10. LSU is also 2-1, opening the season with a loss at home to UCLA, 27-38. They came back and beat McNeese State, 34-07 and then won at home vs Central Michigan last week, 49-21. The LSU rushing game has struggled, gaining just 84 yards vs Central Michigan and now ranks 120th in the county. Miss State has also struggled offensively, ranking 72nd in offense with 4-6 yards per game. The Bulldogs defense has been the strength of this team, ranking 46th nationally as they allow jut 317 yards. In addition, they have one of the lowest red zone efficiencies in the nation at just 37%. Only one TD has been scored against them in five red zone trips by the opposition. I look for Miss State's defense to be the difference here today. Play Miss State. |
|||||||
09-25-21 | Notre Dame +6.5 v. Wisconsin | 41-13 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
 One of the last few Independent teams, Notre Dame, takes on the Big 10's Wisconsin here today from Madison. The Irish are 3-0, but it hasn't been an easy stretch. The Irish opened with a 3-point win over Florida State, then a 3-point win over Toledo before a more easy game last week in a win over Purdue, 27-13. Notre Dame's offense is ranked only 70th in the country with 408 yards per game. Wisconsin had last week off after beating Eastern Michigan the week before that, 34-7. They opened the season with a loss against Penn State, 10-16. Wisconsin has the 35th ranked offense with 442 yards average in teir two games. Have to wonder if the Badgers are looking a next week's Big 10 game at home vs Michigan. No one should ever look past the Irish though. Irish are a dog here on Saturday and I like taking dogs who I believe can win outright. I'll take the points here today. Play Notre Dame. |
|||||||
09-24-21 | Liberty -6.5 v. Syracuse | 21-24 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Liberty looks to go 4-0 as they travel to New York tonight to face the Syracuse Orange. Liberty has wins over Campbell, Troy and Old Dominion. The Flames had little issue with Old Dominion last week, 45-17, just covering the 27.5 point line. They held ODU to just 201 total yards to their own 424 yards. Syracuse is 2-1, but padded their stats last week against Albany, 62-24. They wracked-up 686 yards but still turned the ball over twice to just one take away. Their other win was against a poor Ohio team, 29-9. Their loss coming at the hands of Rutgers, 7-17. I'm looking at this last game by Syracuse. The one good team they played held them to just seven points. What does that tell me? This Syracuse team won't hold up well against Liberty tonight. Liberty has the 9th ranked defense right now, allowing just 234 yards through three games. They have only allowed three red zone incursions thus far in 12 quarters of play. I look for this Liberty defense to do just what Rutgers did, hold Syracuse down on offense. Play the UNDER |
|||||||
09-24-21 | Wake Forest v. Virginia -3 | 37-17 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
The undefeated Wake Forest Deamon Decons put their perfect 3-0 record on the line tonight at Virginia. Wake is coming off a nice win over Florida State last weekend, 35-14. They had a huge turnover day, taking away six times from Florida State to just two turnovers. They also had 89 offensive plays to just 51 by the Seminoles. Virginia is 2-1 after losing their first game of the season last week to North Carolina, 39-59. North Carolina came just one yard from 700 total yards of offense. Virginia had 577 yards themselves in the loss. But the rushing defense of Virginia was shredded for 392 yards and a 8.3 yards per carry average. Despite Virginia losing last week, they did so against one of the better teams in the conference. Wake is a decent team too, but Virginia will want to rebound after that poor defensive showing last week. And, home crowd means more this year with full stadiums again. I'll take the Cavaliers on the national spot light tonight. Play Virginia. |
|||||||
09-23-21 | Marshall +7 v. Appalachian State | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 17 h 43 m | Show | |
Marshall looks to get back on the winning track here on Thursday night as they take on Appalachian State. Both teams are 2-1 on the season. The Thundering Herd lost last week at home to East Carolina, 38-42 as a 10-point home favorite. They had three turnovers to just one by the Pirates. They did outgain ECU, accumulating a staggering 647 yards of offense but allowing 361 yards. The Herd threw for 433 yards and rushed for 214. Marshall was the preseason favorite to win the Conference USA after welcoming back 13-starters this season to a team that went 7-3 last year. App State had an easy game last week at home against Elon, winning 44-10. They had 528 yards to just 291 by Elon. They did have two turnovers though in the contest. App State was 9-3 last year and 6-2 in the Sun Belt. Marshall is 8-2 ATS their last 10 as a road dog and App State is only 1-5 ATS their last five vs a winning team. They also don't play well as a favorite, going 4-10 ATS their last 14 as a favorite. Marshall getting a TD here today is too much to pass on. Take Marshall. |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Utah v. San Diego State +8.5 | 31-33 | Win | 100 | 19 h 7 m | Show | |
San Diego State looks to beat a second PAC-12 opponent this year when they host Utah here on Saturday. Utah is 1-1, losing to intrastate rival BYU last week, 17-26. San Diego State is 2-0 on the season and cruised to a win over Arizona, 28-14 last week. San Diego State has an excellent defense, especially against the run where they have allowed just 97 total yards in two games. Greg Bell will look to grind out the yard on offense for the Aztecs. He's averaging 143 yards in two games with a 7.5 yards per carry average. I am surprised that Utah is a 7-point road favorite here today. The Aztecs have the defense to hang tough. I'll take the points with San Diego State. |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Colorado State v. Toledo -14.5 | Top | 22-6 | Loss | -104 | 16 h 9 m | Show |
Toledo came within one minute last week of shocking the football world with the near upset of Notre Dame in South Bend. It took an Irish TD with just one minute to play to avoid the shocking loss to the Rockets. Today they face a winless Colorado State team. The Rams lost at home last week to Vanderbil, 21-24. Toledo is 1-1 and look to bring a winning record in MAC play next week. Colorado is allowing 33 points per game thus far and 404 yards of offense. That will not bode well today against this very good Toledo team. I'll take Toledo here in what I see as a big blowout. |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Alabama -14.5 v. Florida | 31-29 | Loss | -101 | 16 h 39 m | Show | |
SEC action kicks off here on Saturday with Florida hosting the defending national champion Alabama Crimson Tide. This is a rematch of last year's SEC Conference Championship game which Alabama won 52-46 in a shootout. Alabama had a tuneup last week against Mercer and you can't blame the team for a flat performance against an FCS opponent with SEC Florida on deck. Alabama won 48-14 behind QB Bryce Young's 227 yards and three scores. No 11 Florida is one of the best offenses in the country, averaging 38.5 ppg and 8.1 yards per play. They also boast the nation's No 1 rushing offense (381 ypg). For Florida to win here today they have to play better defensively. That's a tall order against the Tide offense. I'm going to stick with the team that are the Champs for a reason. Play Alabama. |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Purdue v. Notre Dame -7 | 13-27 | Win | 100 | 27 h 43 m | Show | |
Notre Dame has really had some excitement in the first two weeks of the season. The Irish (2-0) had to go to OT to beat Florida State in their opening game of the season. Then last week they had everything they could handle with Toledo. The Rockets came into South Bend and led the Irish late into the 4th quarter before Notre Dame got a game winning TD with about minute to play. Whew! Now we get this intra-state rivalry as Purdue visits South Bend. Purdue is 2-0 on the season, destroying U Conn last week, 49-0 and tallying more than 560 yards of offense. The Boilermakers have not beaten a top 10 team since they beat the Irish back in 1974. Is there an upset on the board for Saturday? Purdue will be throwing and often. They are 17th in the country in pass attempts per game (39). They will however, be without leading rusher Zander Horvath who is out for at least a month. What does that mean? More passing! Notre Dame has struggled offensively, especially with a O-line that had to replace four starters. Notre Dame just 7 or 7 1/2 here on Saturday. To me that's a bargain since the Irish have yet to put together their best game. With Horvath out for the Boilermakers the Irish can concentrate on pass defense here today. I'll take the Irish as I believe they are ready for a breakout game. Play Notre Dame. |
|||||||
09-18-21 | Virginia Tech v. West Virginia -2.5 | 21-27 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
 The two former Big East rivals meet again here on Saturday as West Virginia welcomes Virginia for the Black Diamond Trophy. Virginia tech had that big upset win in week 1 over top-10 ranked North Carolina, 17-10. The Hokies had a bit of a letdown last week, struggling to get past Middle Tennessee State. West Virginia lost to Maryland in their opener, 24-30 but came away with the softball win last week over Long Island U, 66-0. WVU had one of the best defenses last season and they are looking good again this year. Even with that impressive win over NCU, Va Tech has a tough spot here today. I'm taking the host. Play West Virginia. |

09-18-21 | Cincinnati -3.5 v. Indiana | 38-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show | |
The Cincinnati Bearcats offense has been high octane, averaging 8.8 yards per play and has scored more than 40 points in each of their first two games. QB Desmond Ridder has hit on 72.3 percent of his passes and has six passing TD's and the fourth best passer rating in the country. Indiana had a rough start to the season, losing at home to Iowa. QB Michael Penix was intercepted three times by the Hawkeyes. Now they face a Cincinnati team that is ranked 13th in the nation in yards allowed with just 324.6 ypg. Don't see Indiana stopping this Cincy offense here today. I'm taking the visitor and laying the points. Play Cincinnati. |

09-17-21 | Maryland -7 v. Illinois | Top | 20-17 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Maryland (2-0) takes on Illinois (1-2) from Champaign in this Big 10 matchup here on Friday. The Fighting Illini opened its season against Big 10 Nebraska and upsetting the 7-point Huskers. However, it's been downhill since then, losing to Texas San Antonio and then to Virginia last week. The defense has gotten shredded in those two losses, allowing 1,053 total yards. Won't get any easier against a offensive Maryland team here tonight. Maryland is 2-0 and has won it's first two games by a combined 92-24 score. Maryland is led by Junior QB Taulia Tagovailoa who is leading the Big 10 in completion percentage (76.2) and in passer rating (188.4). Illinois will welcome back QB Brandon Peters who was injured against Nebraska and hasn't played since. Not sure how Illinois will stop this Maryland offense tonight. And, I don't think they have the offense themselves to keep pace in a shootout. Take Maryland. |

09-11-21 | San Diego State v. Arizona -1.5 | Top | 38-14 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 19 m | Show |
an Diego State didn't have quite the cakewalk they expected in week 1 against New Mexico State. The Aztecs could only win 28-10 against arguably the worst team in college FBS football. Meanwhile, Arizona played against a very good BYU team last week in Las Vegas. The Wildcats covered the spread but came up short in the outright win, 16-24. San Diego State travels to Tucson here today to face Arizona. The Wildcats look to put an end to their 13-game losing streak here tonight. They had 425 yards of offense vs BYU, but missed a pair of field goals and turned the ball over in the red zone. San Diego State somehow trailed NM State at the half 0-10 and didn't have a single point in the first half. Arizona has won 10 of the 15 games in this series. This should be a good defensive game. The Cats held BYU to under 30 points and the SD St offense isn't near as good. Arizona only a 1 to 2 point favorite here at home. I look for them to finally snap that losing streak. Play Arizona. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Washington +7 v. Michigan | 10-31 | Loss | -117 | 21 h 31 m | Show | |
It's the PAC-12 vs the BIG 10 here on Saturday as Michigan welcomes Washington to town. Both these clubs have one game under their belt and both had opposite outcomes. The Washington Huskies lost last week to FCS Montana, 7-13. The team had just 288 total yards between their QB Dylan Morris and RB Richard Newton. Michigan had little issue last week with Western Michigan, beating the Broncos 47-17. QB Cade McNamara threw for just 136 yards but had two TD's. Michigan is just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and 1-11 ATS in their last 12 vs the PAC-12. I look for Washington to rebound here today with a cover at Michigan as a nice dog. Play Michigan. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Missouri v. Kentucky UNDER 57 | 28-35 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 50 m | Show | |
 Missouri opened 2021 play last week with a home win over Central Michigan, 34-24. The Kentucky Wildcats also opened with a win last week over La-Monroe, 45-10. Missour QB Connor Bazelak completed 65% of his passes with 257 yards and two TD'as last week. Kentucky looks to improve to 2-0 this season, something they have done four times in the last five years. QB Will Levis had a good week last week, completing 69% of his passes for 367 yards and four TD's. Missouri has historically been a good under team, going 8-21 in their last 29 overall games. Both teams pretty much had cake walks last week. So this will be the first big test for both clubs. I look for a close game and a low scoring game. Play the UNDER. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Appalachian State v. Miami-FL -7.5 | 23-25 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 17 m | Show | |
Miami Florida ran into a buzzsaw and defending NCAA Champion last week in Alabama. The Hurricanes were manhandled in that game and lost 13-44. Meanwhile, Appalachian State opened the season with a win last week over East Carolina, 33-19. App State had a good 2020 with a 9-3 overall record and a win in the Myrtle Beach Bowl over North Texas, 56-28. The Hurricanes finished 8-3 last year and 7-2 in the ACC. I have to believe that the Hurricanes will be primed to take out last week's frustration on this week's opponent. That team is App State. I'll take the host here and play Miami Florida. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Texas v. Arkansas +7 | 21-40 | Win | 100 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
The Steve Sarkasian era has begun in Austin, as the Texas Longhorns opened with a win last week against Louisiana, 38-18. They were led by RB Bijan Robinson who rushed for 103 yards and a TD. QB Hudson Card made his debut for the Longhorns also, hitting on 14-of-21 passes for 224 yards. Arkansas had early troubles last week with Rice, but pulled away late for a 38-17 win. QB KJ Jefferson wasn't very effective with just 6.1 yards passing per attempt. However, the ground game was in full force, averaging 5.6 yards per rush. Texas laying 7-points here on the road. Problem is, I'm not sold that this team is for real yet. I have to see more games. In the meantime, I'll take the Hogs plus the points at home. Play Arkansas. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Iowa v. Iowa State -4 | 27-17 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 49 m | Show | |
Rivalry matchup here today in the Hawkeye State as Iowa States hosts their rivals, Iowa. This game usually invokes big emotions on both sides, just ask Iowa State HC Matt Campbell who got very emotional the last time these teams met in 2019. The Cyclones led that contest at the half, but Iowa rallied in the 2nd half the win, 18-17. This will be the first time these teams have met with both being ranked in the AP top 25. Iowa State beat Northern Iowa last week, 16-10, holding NIU to just 275 total yards. Meanwhile, Iowa dominated Indiana last week, 34-6. With the fans back in force this should be one for the books today. I'm taking the Cyclones here today and laying the small price. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Oregon +14.5 v. Ohio State | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
Clash of top 25 teams here on Saturday as No 12 Oregon travels to No 3 Ohio State to take on the Buckeyes. Oregon opened their season last week with a win at home over Fresno State, 31-24. Oregon had a tougher time last week against Fresno then many expected. However, I think they were looking ahead to this matchup with Ohio State, a team they haven't faced since the 2015 National Championship that Ohio State won, 42-20. Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud made his Buckeyes debut, completing 13-of-22 for 294 yards and four TD's. Oregon has an excellent defense that should keep them close in this game. With the big line that Ohio State has to lay, I'll take that number early in the season and see if Oregon can't slide inside the number. Play Oregon. Ohio State dominated Minnesota on the road last week, 45-31. |
|||||||
09-11-21 | Western Kentucky v. Army -5.5 | 35-38 | Loss | -119 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
 Western Kentucky opened their season with an easy win over Tennessee-Martin, 59-21. The Hilltoppers racked-up 587 total yards in the win. Army was on the road last week and beat Georgia State, 43-10. Army dominated the time of possession with a 42:07 to 17:53 advantage. Army used three QB's in that game and all of them are excellent at running. Both teams will get their first real test of the season here today. This will be a contrast of styles as W.Ky will look to move through the air and Army will look to ground and pound the Hilltoppers. Army has a excellent defense and W.Ky won't have the luxury they did last week. I'll take Army here on Saturday. |
|||||||
09-06-21 | Louisville v. Ole Miss UNDER 75.5 | Top | 24-43 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
You couldn't find a more exciting match for the lone game here on this Labor Day Monday as Louisville visits Mercedes-Bens Stadium in Atlanta, GA to take on Ole Miss. Surprisingly, this is the first time these teams have ever met on the football field. Louisville is coming off a poor 4-7 campaign last season, though they do return a solid QB in Malik Cunningham who threw for 2,617 yards and 20 TD's last season. The ground game will miss the return of Javian Hawkins. This team averaged 5.2 yards per run last year. The question with the Cardinals is youth, they have one of the youngest teams in college football this year with 70 freshmen. Ole Miss has QB Matt Corral back this year to a team that broke the SEC record for total offense at 562 yards pr game average. Corral will have lots of experience back around him both in the backfield and at receivers. You would think over with these teams. However, the oddsmaker put up a whopping 75 point over/under and that's just too much in my opinion. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
09-05-21 | Notre Dame v. Florida State +7.5 | 41-38 | Win | 100 | 81 h 52 m | Show | |
Notre Dame coming off a fine 2020 campaign, posting a 10-2 record. Can't say the same for Florida State that recorded just a 3-6 mark last season. FSU begins their second season under HC Mike Norvell. You can't find much fault with the Irish numbers from last year, scoring 33.4 ppg and 448 ypg while allowing 19.7 ppg and 343 yards. Kyren Williams returns at QB after leading Notre Dame with 1,100 yards rushing and 13 TD's. Jack Coan, a Wisconsin transfer, will take over at QB. Florida State averaged 25.8 ppg and 396 yards while allowing 36 points and 456 yards. The Seminoles return QB Jordan Travis who had six TD's and 1,000 yards passing. Florida State had a horrible season, but this team always has quality players and should rebound this season. This will be a night game at Florida State and the Seminoles receiving around a touchdown here tonight. I'm going to take the points with the home team. Play Florida State. |
|||||||
09-04-21 | BYU -12.5 v. Arizona | 24-16 | Loss | -105 | 60 h 51 m | Show | |
Week 1 action of the college football season here on Saturday has BYU taking on Arizona at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. BYU was an offensive powerhouse in 2020, averaging 43.5 ppg and 522 yards per game. The defense was very good, allowing 15.3 ppg. Baylor Romney looks to be the heir apparent to Zach Wilson who graduated to the NFL. Back is RB Tyler Allgeier who had 1,100 yards and 13 TD's last year. Arizona had a bad season, especially on offense where they average just 17.4 ppg and 369 yards. The defense was also horrible, allowing almost 40 ppg and 473 yards. Arizona is 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games and 0-4 ATS their last four games overall. While BYU can't be expected to be the same team from last year with a new QB, they are far and above the better team here tonight. Play BYU. |
|||||||
09-04-21 | Stanford +3 v. Kansas State | 7-24 | Loss | -103 | 49 h 12 m | Show | |
Stanford had a Covid shortened PAC-12 schedule last year and went 4-2 S/U. They begin the new season today under 11-year HC David Shaw. Shaw has been a winner, producing 71% winning games. Kansas State struggled last year, going 4-6 S/U and are in their third year under HC Chris Klieman. Klieman is 12-11 in his first two seasons. Stanford average 29 ppg and 420 yards per game last season. The defense was the problem, allowing 31.7 ppg and 438 yards per game last year. Kansas State average 26.6 ppg and 337 yard last season. The defense was also a problem, as they allowed 32.2 ppg and 444 ypg. Will Howard is back at QB. His freshman year last year he had 1,100 yards passing and eight TD's. I expect a close game here on Saturday, but it's hard to pass up on points with the Cardinal. Play Stanford. |
|||||||
09-03-21 | Michigan State +3.5 v. Northwestern | Top | 38-21 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
Reason: Conference play starts right away for the Big 10 and today Northwestern hosts Michigan State. Northwester had a fine year last season at 7-2 despite the Covid schedule. They lost in the Big 10 Championship to Ohio State despite leading 10-6 at the half. Meanwhile, Michigan State has something to prove under second year head coach Mel Tucker after finishing last in the Big Ten East with a 2-5 record. Michigan State still is looking for a QB to take over the starting spot vacated by Rocky Lombardi, who transferred to Northern Illinois. Northwestern has had a great defense, but they will be without their coordinator Mike Hankwitz who retired. Michigan State has done well in this series, with the Spartans winning the last two meetings. Both teams have a lot of holes to fill especially for Northwestern that returns only five defensive starters. I look for this game to be very close and with that I'll take the points here today. Play Michigan State. |
|||||||
09-02-21 | Ohio State v. Minnesota UNDER 63.5 | 45-31 | Loss | -113 | 19 h 40 m | Show | |
Ohio State and Minnesota open Big 10 play here on Thursday as the Buckeyes make their first trip to TCF Bank Stadium in seven years. The Buckeyes will re-load this year as QB C.J. Stroud makes his debut at the starting QB. The Gophers played only seven games in the shortened 2020 Covid season, finishing a disappointing 3-4. The Gophers had one of their worst defenses in recent memory last year. However, with the depth of talent on this year's roster, there is optimism for a much improved defense and season. With Ohio State having a core of QB's, none of which have thrown a pass in a college game, I look for this game to be lower scoring. Take the UNDER tonight. |
|||||||
09-02-21 | South Florida v. NC State -18.5 | Top | 0-45 | Win | 100 | 18 h 10 m | Show |
Week 0 had a few teams playing last week, but the full schedule gets underway here in week one. South Florida visits Raleigh here tonight to play NC State in both team's opening game of the season. NC State had a nice 8-4 record last year, though they lost to Kentucky in the Gator Bowl. South Florida had a horrid season at 1-8 as Jeff Scott's took over the helm in his first year last season. USF QB Cade Fortin should be familiar with NC State as he transferred from North Carolina where he faced the Wolfpack. NC State QB is Devin Leary, a fourth-year sophomore who started three games last year. This Wolfpack team should be even better then their eight wins last year and that means problems here tonight for South Florida. Take NC State in what should be a Wolfpack blowout. |
|||||||
09-01-21 | UAB v. Jacksonville State +16.5 | 31-0 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
UAB won the USA Championship last year, the second time in the last three years. The Blazers beat Marshall in the Championship game and finished 6-3 overall but passed on a Bowl game. Jacksonville State didn't even begin play until October last year and eventually lost in the quarterfinals to Delaware, 14-20. They finished a very good 10-3 overall. They did beat Florida International last year, 19-10. This Blazer team is pretty good and proved they can beat an FBS team. I'll take the generous points here today. Play Jacksonville State. |
|||||||
08-28-21 | Nebraska v. Illinois +7 | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 99 h 6 m | Show | |
First college games of the season kickoff on Saturday and we get Nebraska vs Illinois in a Big 10 matchup. Nebraska won just three games last season and still haven't had a winning season under HC Scott Frost. Illinois won just twice last year, but welcome new HC Bret Bielema who was at Wisconsin last year. Nebraska returns QB Adrian Martinez for his fourth year as signal caller. Martinez was the team's leading rusher last season. Illinois returns Brandon Peters at QB. They also return their leading rusher in Chase Brown. Nebraska laying a TD on the road here on Saturday is a lot for a team that has had a difficult time winning straight-up. I look for Illinois to be improved this year and won't be surprised by a straight-up win here on Saturday. Play Illinois. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Sam Houston State v. South Dakota State OVER 48.5 | 23-21 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 8 m | Show | |
It took a while but the FCS Championship game is here as South Dakota State takes on Sam Houston State for the Title. South Dakota State showed why they are so good offensively against one of the best defenses in Delaware last week, scoring 33 points in the 33-3 Win over the Jackrabbits. Sam Houston is 9-0 as they come into this game. The offense is their star also as they won a thriller against James Madison to get here, 38-35. I see this game as the battle of two very good offensive teams. Points should come in bunches here today and with that I'm taking the OVER. |
|||||||
05-08-21 | Delaware v. South Dakota State -7 | 3-33 | Win | 100 | 2 h 56 m | Show | |
FCS Semifinal action here on Saturday has Delaware taking on South Dakota State. Both these teams were regular season champions from the CAA and MVFC conference. The winner here earns a spot in the FCS Championship game. Delaware opened the season with four straight wins where they scored at least 31 points. However, since then the scoring hs gone down but the defense has held teams to just 15.5 points per game. South Dakota is led by the QB, Mark Gronowski who won the Newcomer of the Year in the conference and Offensive Player of the Year with 20 TD's. Delaware has the best defense in the FCS this year so they will be tested here today against Gronowski. South Dakota State had to come from behind last week against Southern Illinois after trailing at half. Don't look for that again here today. I'm taking SD State with their talented QB. Play South Dakota State. |
|||||||
05-02-21 | Southern Illinois v. South Dakota State -15.5 | 26-31 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
FCS Football playoffs continue here on Sunday as South Dakota State hosts Southern Illinois. SD State is 6-1 on this shortened season while Southern Illinois comes into this one at 6-3. Both these teams are from the Missouri Valley conference. In fact, four of the remaining eight teams are from the Missouri Valley. SD State Jackrabbits coming off a nice performance where they held Holy Cross to just three points in a 31-3 win. Southern Illinois had a bit more trouble, beating Weber State 34-31. SD State already has beaten this team once, back in March when the Jackrabbits went into Southern Illinois and won going away, 44-3. I like this SD State team as they have a great defense and that makes laying the 15 or 15 1/2 points a bit easier to take. Play South Dakota State. |
|||||||
04-24-21 | Monmouth v. Sam Houston State -11 | 15-21 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
The Monmouth Hawks head to Texas to take on the No 2 seeded Sam Houston State in the FCS playoffs. Both teams are undefeated, however Monmouth hasn't played in two weeks after having its last game cancelled. Sam Houston didn't encounter any Covid issues and got to a perfect 6-0 record. The Hawks are 5th in the nation ins scoring (41.7 ppg) and 10th in total defense. Sam Houston coming off a blowout in their last game over Incarnate Word, 42-14. This Sam Houston team has one of the best offenses inthe country as they rank third in scoring (44.8 ppg) and fourth in total defense. Sam Houston comes into this game with more games under its belt than thei opponent. Monmouth has a promising future, but in this game I'm going with Sam Houston. |

03-14-21 | Murray State -4.5 v. Tennessee Tech | 36-31 | Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show | |
Murray State makes the short trek today over the board to take on Tennessee Tech. The Racers have started off to a 2-0 record in the FCS football. They look to return to the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2002. The defense has been outstanding, holding UT Martin to just 10 points in their opening game and beating SE Missouri, 24-21 in game number two. Tennessee Tech has been out to a slow start offensively which has resulted in a 1-1 record. QB Bailey Fisher was highly touted before the season but has been dissapoiting with just 137 total passing yards in two games. Tech has already played two very good defenses and not faired all that well. They do so again here today. Murray State's defense should do well against a struggling Tech offense here today. Play Murray State. |
|||||||
02-27-21 | Missouri State -6.5 v. Western Illinois | 30-24 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Missouri State lost three games in the fall of 2020 before packing it in. They got beat bad by a top ranked Oklahama team, 0-48 and lost twice to Central Arkansas. Those games will give the team something to build on here in the FBC football conferences. Missouri State has a decent QB in Jaden Johnson and he has very good running back behind him in Kevon Latulas. The running game will be the big question for Western Illinois. They need more experience on the offensive line to opening up the running game here today. Western Illinois is the team I will be on Saturday, despite laying 5 to 6 points on the road. Should be a good game, but Missouri State will cover this game. Play Missouri State. |
|||||||
02-13-21 | McNeese State v. Tarleton State UNDER 51 | 40-37 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 13 m | Show | |
Just when you thought football was done we get a treat to some Spring football thanks to Division 1 FCS moving from Fall 2020 to Spring 2021. They kick off their season here on Saturday with McNeese State at Tarleton State. Tarleton was a powerhouse in Division 2, but makes the move to Division 1 here this year. And, while they were a offensive powerhouse in Div 2, they have lost almost all their offensive talent to graduation, inclduing QB Ben Holmes who threw for 3,338 yards in 2019. They also replace their top rusher and top receiver. And now they have to face a very good defensive team in McNeese State. Plus, we will have weather to contend with. The weather is supposed to be around 25-degrees with a wind chill around 17 and 7-10 MPH winds. I'm going to take the UNDER here in this game as Tarleton will find it much tougher go in Division 1. Play UNDER. |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Ohio State v. Alabama OVER 74.5 | 24-52 | Win | 100 | 77 h 20 m | Show | |
The National Championship game pits No 3 Ohio State against No 1 Alabama. Ohio State got their revenge against Clemson for last year's loss with a resounding win this year in the semi finals, 49-28. And that came against a very good defensive Tigers' team. Alabama saw it's record setting 35-plus scoring streak come to an end last week at 24 games with tier 31-14 win over Notre Dame. Don't expect the Tide to be under that 35 point line this week. Alabama has Heisman winner in WR DeVonta Smith and Mac Jones at QB. Ohio State QB Justin Fields was injured in the Clemson game, but still had his career high in passing yards with 385 and six TD's. Fields will be starting here on Monday. Both these teams should be scoring almost every time they touch the ball. And, with that, I'll just enjoy the show with the OVER. |
|||||||
01-02-21 | North Carolina v. Texas A&M -7 | 27-41 | Win | 100 | 22 h 41 m | Show | |
The late game on the Bowl schedule for Saturday is the Orange Bowl and it pits Texas A&M against North Carolina. NCU had an excellent season, finishing 8-3 under Mack Brown. A&M finished 8-1 and just missed being in one of the CFB Playoff games. A&M boasts one of the best offensive lines in the country so you can expect a lot of ground and pound here today. The Aggies were 2nd in the SEC in rushing offense with a 202.9 yards per game average. The offense should have little trouble with a Tar Heels defense that allowed 28.4 points per game this year. NCU will also have to contend with one of the best defenses this year in Texas A&M. At full strength this would be a tough game for the Tar Heels. But they also have players opting out of this game, including Chazz Suratt, Michael Carter and Dyami Brown. They lose their leading tackler, leading rusher and leading receiver here on Saturday. Sure, Mack Brown will say this is a chance for others to step up, but against this Texas A&M team that has something to prove by not getting a playoff spot - well it's just too much in my opinion. Take Texas A&M. |

01-02-21 | Oregon v. Iowa State -4 | 17-34 | Win | 100 | 18 h 41 m | Show | |
Fiesta Bowl has No 25 Oregon taking on No 10 Iowa State here on Saturday in Glendale, AZ for the first meeting ever between these clubs. Oregon was only able to get in six games in the PAC 12 play, going 4-2. Iowa State got a bit more action on the season with a 8-3 record. Iowa State has an excellent defense including a very good defensive line. They have 35 tackles for loss this season and should likely provide lots of problems for Oregon that has struggled at times on offense. The difference for me in this matchup is the aggressive defensive front of Iowa State. Plus the Cyclones have something to prove after losing the Big 12 Championship. Take Iowa State. |

01-01-21 | Ohio State v. Clemson -7 | 49-28 | Loss | -115 | 34 h 4 m | Show | |
NCAA football playoffs here between No 3 Ohio State and No 2 Clemson in the Sugar Bowl. Ohio State had an abbreviated year due to Covid, but still finished 6-0. Clemson was 10-1 with that one loss coming at Notre Dame when QB Trevor Lawrence missed due to Covid. These teams met last year in the Fiesta Bowl playoff and in one of the most exciting games of the year, Clemson rallied from a 0-16 halftime deficit to win 29-23. Clemson is 4-0 against Ohio State in their history. Ohio State QB Justin Fields leads the team. He is a great QB, but was underperforming at times this season. That could have been to cancelled games or the discontinuity of the season. The Clemson offense might be a tad under last year's squad, but they still average 44.9 points per game this year. Lawrence missed two games due to Covid and one was that loss at Notre Dame. Lawrence likely the the No 1 NFL Draft pick this year. The defensive edge goes to Clemson, which always puts up great defenses. Should be a great game with two of the best QB's in college football. Let's hope we get another game like last year. For me, I am taking Lawrence here today and the Tigers. Play Clemson. |

01-01-21 | Notre Dame v. Alabama -19.5 | Top | 14-31 | Loss | -109 | 30 h 44 m | Show |
College Football playoffs begin here with No 4 Notre Dame taking on No 1 Alabama. Alabama laying a lot of wood in this game, currently around 19-20 points. This is the Rose Bowl, but not your normal Rose Bowl as it's been moved to Arlington, Texas from Pasadena due to Covid restrictions in California. Alabama makes it's sixth appearance in the NCAA FB playoffs in its seven year history. Alabama is an offensive juggernaut with Mac Jones at QB, Najee Harris at RB and WR DeVonta Smith that give this team a three-headed monster for defenses. The Tide have scored at least 52 points in four of their last five games and only one decided by less than 15 points. The only chance for Notre Dame here is to win the battle in the trenches and keep the ball out of Alabama's hands. If Notre Dame can't get a running game going, this will be a long day for the Irish. After what Clemson did to Notre Dame last time out I don't see how Alabama will be kept in check here today. I look for an Alabama blowout win. |

01-01-21 | Cincinnati +7 v. Georgia | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 26 h 44 m | Show | |
Two top 10 teams matchup here on New Year's Day in the Peach Bowl as Georgia takes on undefeated 9-0 Cincinnati. Cincy will be looking to send a statement here today that they deserved to be in one of the playoff games. Yet, the oddsmaker isn't giving them any love, despite being undefeated they are a TD dog here today. This will be the Bearcats biggest challenger all season though. Georgia is good and better since JT Daniels took over at QB. I expect a high scoring game here today and with that maybe the last team to have the ball will cover. I will take the Touchdown though with a undefeated Cincinnati team. |

12-31-20 | Mississippi State +1.5 v. Tulsa | 28-26 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
Armed Forces Bowl from Fort Worth Texas here on New Year's eve has Tulsa taking on Mississippi State. This will be the first ever meeting between these teams. Mississippi State Bulldogs opened the season very nice with a big win over LSU, 44-34. However, they then proceeded to drop their next four games and while they had a losing season, they did finish with a win over Missouri, scoring 51 in that season finale. Tulsa had quite a few come from behind wins this year coupled with Covid cancellations. Their two losses were by a combined 12 points. The offense has struggled at times and has not scored more than 30 points in any of their last four games. Miss State has a top 25 rushing defense. Tulsa also commits a lot of penalties, 2nd most per game in the FBS. Both teams have their issues in this contest, but I'll take the SEC team here. Play Mississippi State. |

12-30-20 | Florida v. Oklahoma -6.5 | 20-55 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
College Cotton Bowl action here tonight has Florida taking on Oklahoma. Bowls are a different animal these days. Not only is Covid effecting who's playing, but you have players opting out so they don't get hurt if they are going into the NFL draft. That's what has happened here tonight as the top 4 wide receivers of Florida are all OUT here tonight. That's big since QB Trask likely hasn't many reps with receivers this low down on the list. Yes, the line has now moved from Oklahoma -4.5 to around a touchdown. But I'll take the Sooners here as I'm not sure Florida can keep up offensively with so many receivers not playing. Take Oklahoma. |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Colorado +8 v. Texas | 23-55 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
It's the Alamo Bowl here today from San Antonio Texas with Colorado taking on Texas. These are old foes, both going back to their days in the Southwest Conference and now the Big 12. Now, Colorado plays in the PAC-12 so these teams haven't met since 2009. The leader of this Texas team is QB Sam Ehlinger, who quietly put up 25 TD's on the season. Ehlinger had preseason Heisman hype, but that never materialized during the season. Ehlinger will be without his favorite receiver in Brennan Eagles, who opted out for the NFL draft prep. The Colorado defense is very good against the pass, intercepting a pass in every game this year but one. They have also only allowed seven TD passes on the season. Texas will also be without tackle Samuel Comsi and Derek Kerstetter. The former opting out and the latter being injured. This will also cause issues for the Texas QB. Too many questions and changes for this Texas team heading into today's contest. Yet here they are laying just over a touchdown to Colorado. I look for Colorado to quite possibly win this game outright. Therefore, I'll take the points with Colorado. |

12-29-20 | Oklahoma State -1 v. Miami-FL | 37-34 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
Cheez-It Bowl here on Tuesday has two nationally ranked teams squaring-off as Oklahoma State takes on Miami Florida. Miami is still reeling from that beating they took in their last game against North Carolina, 26-62. Conversely, Oklahoma State is coming off a blowout win over Baylor on Dec 12, 42-3. Miami is just 1-2 this season against ranked teams, with their only win coming against Louisville when they were 18th ranked. Ok State is 1-1 vs ranked teams with their win coming against Iowa State. The Cowboys will be without their star running back, Chuba Hubbard, who opted out to prepare for the NFL draft. They can replace him though with Dezmon Jackson who rushed for 235 yards in a win over Texas Tech this season. Miami will be without a their star defensive ends in Jeaelan Phillips and Quincy Roche, both of whom opted out to prepare for the draft. This one should be quite an offensive show here today. The loss of those defensive ends will hurt Miami more then the loss of Ok State's running back. Should be a good one, but I'll be on Oklahoma State. |

12-26-20 | Liberty +7 v. Coastal Carolina | 37-34 | Win | 100 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
Coast Carolina Chanticleeers have been the Cinderella team of 2020. From their starting win to their big win over BYU, this 11-0 team and nationally ranked club might have expected a bit better than today's Cure Bowl against Liberty. This game was scheduled late in the regular season before it had to be cancelled due to Covid related issues. Despite their 11-0 record and big win over BYU, it just wasn't enough in the eyes of the selection committee to put them in a New Year's day playoff bowl. Liberty also had a great season, their lone loss coming at NC State 14-15, a game they could have easily won. Both these teams are very good and this should not only be a great game, but one that I see coming down to the wire. And with that, I'll take the TD with Liberty here on Saturday. Play Liberty. |

12-24-20 | Hawaii v. Houston UNDER 60 | 28-14 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
The only game on the entire sporting slate today is the New Mexico Bowl. Well, sort of, as it's being played in Frisco, TX this year because of Covid issues in New Mexico. Still, should be a good one as Hawaii takes on Houston. Houston was only 3-4 on the season due to numerous cancellations and a very late start to the season. They have played just one time since Nov 14, a loss at Memphis, 27-30. Hawaii was 4-4 overall on the season. The Rainbow Warriors really depend on QB Chevan Cordeiro. He's a duel threat and when he plays well the team wins. Houston is an offensive team, averaging 32 points per game this year. I have to wonder how the long layoffs will effect this Houston team. Rust could be a big factor here today, especially on offense. Houston also likely without 15 players here today due to Covid and opt outs. I'll take the UNDER in this one. |
|||||||
12-24-20 | Hawaii +9.5 v. Houston | 28-14 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
The only game on the entire sporting slate today is the New Mexico Bowl. Well, sort of, as it's being played in Frisco, TX this year because of Covid issues in New Mexico.

He's a duel threat and when he plays well the team wins. Houston is an offensive team, averaging 32 points per game this year. I have to wonder how the long layoffs will effect this Houston team. Rust could be a big factor here today, especially on offense. For me, the layoff is too much to overlook along with the generous points the oddsmaker is giving us. Take Hawaii |

12-23-20 | Georgia Southern -6.5 v. Louisiana Tech | 38-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
New Orleans Bowl pits Georgia Southern vs Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs of La tech had a strange year, starting 2-0 and then then 2-2 before having 30 days off because of Covid. They finished their season with a tough blowout loss to TCU on Dec 12, 10-52. Ga Southern won three of its first four games. Five of their wins have come by a TD or less. Georgia Southern is a run dominated team with a good defense. They are deep at running back and use them all. Southern has the better team and I look for the win and cover here today. Play Georgia Southern. |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Tulane -2.5 v. Nevada | 27-38 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 34 m | Show | |
A pair of 6-win teams meet here on Tuesday in the Idaho Potato bowl as 6-5 Tulane takes on 6-2 Nevada. Jim his opening bowl game Monday with App State over North Texas. Both of today's teams have played in three straight bowl games. Nevada started the season 5-0 before dropping two of its last three games. Those losses coming to San Diego State and to San Jose State. This should be an offensive game as both teams can score. Nevada rides the arm of sophomore QB Carson Strong. Tulane will put the pressure on Strong here today, as they led the AAC with 36 sacks. This is going to be a close game here as both teams should score. But I will lay the points with a slightly better Tulane squad. Play Tulane. |
|||||||
12-21-20 | North Texas v. Appalachian State -21 | 28-56 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
The Bowl season kicks-off here on Monday with the Myrtle Beach Bowl between App State and North Texas. App State plays in its sixth straight bowl game and brings a perfect 5-0 record into today's contest. App State was 8-3 on the season and finished with a win over Georgia Southern, 34-26. North Texas is just 4-5 overall and is coming off a win over UTEP, 45-43. Mean Green are just 1-3 in bowl games under HC Seth Littrell. App State is led by QB Zac Thomas who has 58 TD's in his career. Thomas will have that extra year to come back because of Covid if he wants or he may try his hand in the NFL Draft. App State is a big favorite here today and rightfully so. We have one of the most successful programs in App State with one of the best QB's in school history going against a North Texas team that has a losing record. I expect a App State blowout here on Monday. Play App State. |

12-19-20 | Alabama -17 v. Florida | Top | 52-46 | Loss | -112 | 21 h 35 m | Show |
SEC Championship game from Atlanta, GA here on Saturday has No 1 Alabama taking on No 7 Florida. Alabama looks to keep its perfect record in tact here on a top seed in the NCAA playoffs on New Year's day. Florida lost a shocker last week to LSU at home. LSU has had a horrible season with multiple injuries and COVID tests, but somehow pulled the biggest upset of the season. The Crimson Tide are almost a perfect team, difficult to find any weakness on this club. With QB Mac Jones, RB Najee Harris and WR DaVonta Smith they have three legitimate Heisman candidates. Alabama has won all year and won BIG! They are sending a statement the the NCAA that they are the team to beat this year and I have to agree with that. Even with Florida's excellent QB in Trask, I look for a Alabama blowout here on Saturday. I don't even know if Florida can recover from that LSU loss, let alone do so against the best team in the country. Play Alabama here on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-19-20 | Oklahoma v. Iowa State +6 | 27-21 | Push | 0 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
Big 10 Championship here on Saturday has No 10 Oklahoma taking on No 6 Iowa State. Iowa State has already beaten Oklahoma once this year, 37-30, on October 3rd in Ames, Iowa. Here today the Cyclones are the dogs. The Oklahoma offense is impressive with Spencer Rattler at QB and the return of Rhamondre Stevenson at running back. Stevenson has averaged six yards per carry in the games he's played. Iowa State has a very balanced offense and will look to keep the ball out of the OU hands with a deliberate style of play. For me it's tough to pass on the 5.5 points or thereabout with a team that has proven they can beat the Sooners. I see these teams as even and as such I'll take the points. Play Iowa State. |
|||||||
12-18-20 | UAB v. Marshall -4.5 | Top | 22-13 | Loss | -102 | 17 h 15 m | Show |
Conference USA Championship game here on Friday has the 5-3 UAB Blazers vs the 7-1 Marshall Thundering Herd. Marshall hasn't won in more than a month as they enter play here tonight. Marshall had their final game against Charlotte cancelled. Their only loss of the season coming at the hands of Rice where they gained just 245 total yards and QB Wells threw five interceptions. Marshall leads the FBS in points allowed, just 11.4 per game. Marshall has the 2nd best rushing defense, allowing just 73.0 yards per game. This Marshall defense will be a huge task for UAB to overcome here today. UAB hasn't won a game this year in which they have allowed more than 16 points, except their opening game against Central Arkansas. I look for Marshall to rebound from that Rice loss and use it's vaunted defense to shut down UAB. Play Marshall. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | San Diego State v. BYU UNDER 47.5 | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 23 h 46 m | Show | |
BYU has to be perplexed as to how their high flying offense was clipped last game by the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. BYU fully expected to add that game and just run right over Coastal Carolina with their great offense. That didn't happen and the loss is devastating to their claim to be a playoff team, which won't happen now. Now they finish the season and sure they will be in a bowl game, but not the one they wanted on New Year's day. They get a very good defensive San Diego State team here today and I won't be surprised if the starts play only the first half. No reason to push them since the game has no meaning to the Cougars. San Diego State is coming off a win over Colorado State, 29-17. They are 4-2 S/U and ATS on the season. No one really talks much about the Aztecs but they have an excellent defense that has allowed no more than 28 points in any game this year and more than 20 points just two times. The Aztecs are ranked 3rd in the nation in total defense this year allowing just 269 total yards. Playing UNDER 47 points with the 3rd ranked defense against a disinterested BYU team looks great to me. Play under. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Virginia +3 v. Virginia Tech | 15-33 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 46 m | Show | |
Rivalry game here as Virginia takes on Virginia Tech. Virginia can finish above .500 with a win here in their final game. The Cavs have won three straight games are 4-4 as they head into the finale. They have also covered three of their last four games and scored at least 43 points in each of their last three games. Virginia Tech has lost four straight games both S/U and ATS. The Hokies have scored just 24 points combined in their last two games. Last year Virginia won this game 39-30 as a 3-point home dog. Tech laying small points at home here today but I see Virginia winning this game straight-up. Take Virginia. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | USC -3 v. UCLA | Top | 43-38 | Win | 100 | 21 h 31 m | Show |
The annual USC vs UCLA rivalry game will lose some luster this week without the usual full Rose Bowl of rabid fans. USC has just four games this year after beating Washington State 38-13 and improving to 4-0 on the season. UCLA is 3-2 on the season after beating Arizona State, 25-18 on December 5. It's hard to figure who is more interested, but that appears to be USC with their perfect 4-0 record and top 20 ranking. Without the fans I have to be on the USC side in this one. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Wisconsin v. Iowa +2.5 | 7-28 | Win | 100 | 16 h 17 m | Show | |
Wisconsin looking forward to this year being over. Between Covid cancelled games and just four games they will welcome the end today. The Badgers opened the season with two wins, scoring over 45 points in both games. Then they went into Northwestern and lost 7-17 and then last week lost at Indiana, 6-14. The defense has been great, but the offense has gone South the last two weeks. They face an Iowa team that is 5-2 and won five straight games after starting the season 0-2. The Hawkeyes have also covered four of their last five games. They finish up here today against Wisconsin and should make a bowl game either way. Their defense has been very good, not allowing more than 21 points in any of their last six games. Should be a low scoring game here today and Iowa at home against a Wisconsin team looking for the season to end is the play for me. Play Iowa. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Coastal Carolina v. Troy +14 | 42-38 | Win | 100 | 16 h 46 m | Show | |
Coastal Carolina could be in for a bit of a letdown here today after coming off that big win over BYU last time out. They had been looking for legitimacy and they got it with that win over the Cougars. Now they have to finish the season at Troy and I'm looking for a Chantileers club to come out a bit flat here. They are laying 2 touchdowns and that might be just too many points against this Troy club. Troy is coming off a win over South Alabama on the road, 29-0. Troy one of those few teams with a full slate of games this year at 5-6 S/U and 4-7 ATS on the season. Some clubs have just 2, 3 or 4 games they have been able to play. Obviously Coastal the better team, but I'm looking for a letdown here today as they are coming off that big win over BYU. Take Troy plus the double digits at home. |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Rutgers +7.5 v. Maryland | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 13 h 45 m | Show | |
Rutgers looks to finish its regular season with a win here today at Maryland. The Scarlet Knights are 2-5 S/U and 4-3 ATS on the season. They have played a tough Big 10 season but can highlight wins over Michigan State and Purdue to build on. Now they face a Maryland team that has been able to play just four games this season and is 2-2 S/U and ATS. Maryland one of those teams effected greatly by Covid this season. They haven't played since Nov 28th as they close out the season here today. Hard to gauge a team with such few games, but for me Rutgers has a lot more experience this year with a full slate of games. Maryland might be looking at just getting out of this season and looking forward to next year. Play Rutgers. |

12-10-20 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech OVER 54.5 | 34-20 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
 Pittsburgh Panthers coming off a loss last week at Clemson, 17-52. The Panthers had been on a nice run of two straight wins and scoring 41 or more points in each game. This has been a very good over team, with eight straight games going over the total. Georgia Tech has also been a good over team, with six of their nine games this year going OVER the total. Tech coming off a road loss at NC State, 13-23. Pitt is the kind of team that Georgia Tech should be able to score well against. Tech ranks 66th nationally in total offense and Pitt is 87th. I'm taking the over here tonight. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Colorado -7 v. Arizona | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
Colorado only has a pair of games under their belts but the offense has been clicking. The opened with a 48-42 win over UCLA at home as a 7-point dog and then beat Stanford on the road, 35-32 as a 7-point dog, covering both games. Arizona has three games played and has lost all three while covering one. They have allowed at least 27 points in each game, not a good sign against this high flying Colorado team. Arizona has the 97th ranked offense and a rezone efficiency of just 66.1%. In their three games they have scored just four redzone TD's. Colorado has the 52nd ranked offense and a redzone efficiency of 91.2%, scoring 11 TD's in 13 redzone trips. Buffaloes laying just a TD here looks like a steal to me. Play Colorado in a blowout. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | BYU -10.5 v. Coastal Carolina | 17-22 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 3 m | Show | |
Monster matchup here between two teams that both feel they should be in the NCAA Playoff final four come New Year's Day. This game will show which team might have a legitimate claim to that fame. No 13 BYU is 9-0 on the season while No 18 Coastal is also 9-0. Coastal was set to face Liberty today, but Covid issues cancelled that game and BYU stepped in willingly. BYU needs to prove they can beat the tough teams on the road. Both teams have great offenses, with BYU ranking No 5 nationally. BYU also ranks in the top 10 defensively (7th), with the Cougars just one of two teams to rank in the top 10 in both categories. Coastal ranks 29th offensively in the nation and 14th in defense. This is a great matchup, but for me I'm taking the Cougars in this one. Play BYU. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | West Virginia v. Iowa State UNDER 49.5 | 6-42 | Win | 100 | 15 h 2 m | Show | |
Two of the best defensive teams in college football matchup here on Saturday. West Virginia is ranked 4th overall in defense and has allowed just six redzone TD's all season. Iowa State is 28th in defense. West Virginia coming off a win over TCU, 24-6 and a loss to Texas 13-17. Only Baylor (21 points) and Texas Tech (34 points) have scored more than 17 vs West Virginia this year. Iowa State coming off a 23-20 win over Texas last week and a 45-0 shutout over Kansas State the week before. I expect a lower scoring contest here today. I'm taking the UNDER. |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Texas A&M v. Auburn +5.5 | 31-20 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
Texas A&M plays its last scheduled game of the season here today. The Aggies defense has come alive the last two games, holding both LSU and South Carolina to a combined 10 points while scoring 68 themselves. A&M is now 6-1 S/U and 3-4 ATS on the season. Auburn also on its last scheduled game is coming off a beating at the hands of Alabama, 13-42. That loss broke a three-game win streak for the Tigers. Auburn is 5-3 S/U and 4-4 ATS on the season. A&M has the 47th ranked offense in the nation while Auburn comes in at 66th. A&M has a very good defense, ranked 20th overall with Auburn coming in at 65th. Auburn playing at home here today getting points is really a bargain for me. I believe they win this game outright, but I'll still take the points. Play Auburn. |

12-04-20 | UL-Lafayette +3 v. Appalachian State | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a rematch of the last two Sun Belt Championship games. Louisiana will play for another belt while App State will miss out due to their loss to Coastal Carolina. The App State Mountaineers look to spoil the Top 25 ranking of Louisiana here tonight. Louisiana coming off a big blowout of UL Monroe last week, 70-20. Louisiana is 8-1 this year, their only loss coming to Coastal Carolina who they will meet in the championship game. App State also lost to Coastal Carolina a few weeks ago, 23-34. They also lost to Marshal earlier this year. App State won this game last year, 45-38 in a shootout despite Louisiana having 18 more plays. It was the three Louisiana turnover that made the difference. I look for a different outcome here tonight. I'll take the 2.5 or 3 points with the Ragin Cajuns in this one. Play Louisiana. |
|||||||
12-03-20 | Louisiana Tech v. North Texas +1 | 42-31 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
Louisiana Tech definitely not as good as previous versions of this team. Tech is coming off a win over UAB, 37-34 as a 12-point dog. The win snapped a 2-game losing streak. They are just 2-4 AST on the season. North Texas is coming off a loss to Texas San Antonio, 17-49 on the road. That snapped a 2-game win streak. North Texas has the nation's fourth ranked overall offense. La Tech has bad a big dropoff this year, now ranked 110th on offense. North Texas has a terrible defense, ranking 126th with La Tech 73rd. North Texas back home and with a very good offense looks to be the side for me. Play North Texas. |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Mississippi State v. Ole Miss OVER 69.5 | 24-31 | Loss | -103 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
Two old rivals meet here on the gridiron on Saturday as Ole Miss hosts Mississippi State. State is coming off a loss at Georgia last week, 24-31. They got the cover and the game went over. It was only the 2nd over of the season for State. Ole Miss is a much more scoring machine, beating South Carolina two weeks ago 59-42 and having last week off. Ole Miss has gone over in five of their seven games. They have also scored 35 or more points in five of seven games. Ole Miss one of the worst defensive teams in football, ranking 125th. However, where they lack on defense they make up for on offense, ranking 3rd overall in the nation. Miss State not a high scoring team, but when playing one of the worst defensive teams in the country they should get there share here. It's Ole Miss that will drive this game over though, as I expect at least 40 point out of the Rebels. Take the OVER. |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Rutgers v. Purdue OVER 60 | 37-30 | Win | 100 | 16 h 57 m | Show | |
Rutgers won their opener back in October against Michigan State. Since then they are 0-4 after last week's loss at home to Michigan, 42-48. Rutgers has allowed 27 or more points in all but one game this season with three of those at 37 or more points. Purdue was favored last week at Minnesota, but lost in a shootout, 31-34. It was the club's second straight loss. The rest of the schedule (3 games) is Rutgers today, then at home against Nebraska and close out at Indiana. Purdue is 63rd in the nation in offense with Rutgers at 91st. Purdue is 62nd in defense with Rutgers at 87th. Don't figure there to be much defense in this contest. I look for Purdue to get plenty of points in this one. Play the OVER. |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Northwestern -13 v. Michigan State | Top | 20-29 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 35 m | Show |
Northwestern showed just why they are one of the best teams in the Big 10 as they totally shut down Wisconsin last week, 17-7. The Northwestern defense we knew was good, but they were outstanding last week. They Cats have now covered all five games this year as they head to Michigan State today. The Michigan State Spartans were shut out two weeks ago by Indiana, 24-0. The Spartans have scored seven points combined in their last two games. Not good for now having to play the 15th ranked defense in the country. I look for another Northwestern win and possible shutout here on Saturday. Play Northwestern. |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Troy v. Appalachian State UNDER 49 | 10-47 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 27 m | Show | |
 App State has one of the best defensive teams in the country and it showed last week as they contained a Coastal Carolina team for most of the the game. Even though Coastal beat App State, 34-23, seven of those points came on a pick six late in the games with just seconds remaining to give Coastal the cover. That was the most points App State has allowed this year. In fact, before that game, the previous seven opponents have been held to 21 points or fewer. That doesn't bode well for a Troy team that has scored just 30 total points in their last two games. Troy coming off a loss last week to a bad Middle Tennessee State team, 17-20. Troy has just four wins and with two games left against the top tier conference teams, it doesn't look good for Troy to get any more W's. I don't see Troy getting much in points here today and App State likely will ground it out on the ground. Take the UNDER. |
|||||||
11-28-20 | Texas Tech v. Oklahoma State -10.5 | 44-50 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
Big 12 matchup as Oklahoma State hosts Texas Tech on Saturday. Texas Tech is coming off a hard fought home win over Baylor two weeks ago, 24-23. They had the week off to prepare for today's contest. The win snapped a two game losing streak by Tech. Ok State lost to their rivals, Oklahoma last week, 13-41. The Cowboys fell behind early and could never recover. They are now 5-2 with three games to play in the regular season. The Cowboys excellent defense allowed 301 passing yards to the Sooners and another 191 rushing yards. The loss dropped the Cowboys defense to 25th in the country. They won't have that vaunted Oklahoma offense to contend with this week. I look for a Ok State rebound this week as they look to take out some frustration on the visiting Texas Tech team. Take Oklahoma State. |

11-27-20 | Notre Dame -5.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 31-17 | Win | 100 | 16 h 0 m | Show |
Top 25 matchup here on Friday has No 2 Notre Dame taking on No 25 North Carolina. This game looks to be the most difficult thus far for the Irish. Yes they played Clemson, but QB Lawrence missed that game with Covid. The Irish are a perfect 8-0 on the season while North Carolina is 6-2 with losses coming to Florida State and Virginia. The Tar Heels are coming off a shootout two weeks ago against Wake Forest, which they won in a come-from-behind fashion, 59-53. It follows that the Tar Heels would have the 4th ranked offense in the country. Notre Dame comes in at 24th. The Irish have a much better defense though, ranked 9th overall compared to the 68th ranked defense of NCU. These teams have met just once in the last five years and that was in 2017 with the Irish winning at Chapel Hill, 33-10. I like the Irish as it appears they are destined for a New Year's day playoff spot. They can' afford to look past any opponent, especially the Tar Heels here today. Play Notre Dame. |

11-27-20 | Iowa State v. Texas +1 | 23-20 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 26 m | Show | |
Iowa State looks for its fourth straight win here on Friday at Texas. The Cyclones are coming off a shutout win over Kansas State last week, 45-0. Iowa State has just two losses this year, their opening game to Louisiana and then to Oklahoma State, 21-24. The teams last game will be next week at home against West Virginia. Texas plays its last two games of the regular season with their game today and then next week at Kansas State. The Longhorns are coming off a bye week, so they have had plenty of time to prepare for this game. They have won three straight games and are 5-3 on the season. Iowa State has the 38th ranked offense in the nation with Texas coming in at right behind them at 39th. Texas has the 59th ranked defense and Iowa State is 24th. Texas has covered the last four in this series, though they did lose at Iowas State last year, 21-23. Basically we just need to win this game here with Texas as the line is around -1 on Texas. Take Texas. |

11-26-20 | New Mexico v. Utah State UNDER 52 | Top | 27-41 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 26 m | Show |
New Mexico is literally playing every game on the road this year. Due to Covid restrictions, they aren't allowed to play in their home stadium, so all their home games are in Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. In reality, this team has no home. And, they are still looking for that first win of the season. They played at Air Force last week and were able to hold the high flying Falcons to just 28 points, but alas, the Lobos were shutout. They also held a very potent Nevada offense to just 27 points the week before, but again lost, scoring just 20. Utah State has yet to win a game in four tries. In fact, they haven't scored more than 16 points in any game. The result was firing of their head coach. Still, same result last week in a 16-35 loss at home to Fresno. So tonight one of these teams will get their first win of the season. For me, I'm taking the UNDER here. Neither team has much offense to present. Utah State is 126th in offense, only U Mass is worse this year. New Mexico is better at 64th. I look for a low scoring game here today. Play UNDER. |

11-21-20 | Kansas State +12 v. Iowa State | 0-45 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
 Kansas State has dropped its last two games and now is 4-3 on the season. They lost last week at home to Oklahoma State, 18-20, but covered the 14-point dog line. Now they will have to play at Iowa State as they look to snap that 2-game losing streak. Iowa State has won two straight games after their loss to Oklahoma State, 21-24. They are coming off a home win over Baylor, 38-31 two weeks ago as a 14-point favorite. Kansas State won this game last year at home, 27-17 covering as a home dog. A bit surprised that K State getting double digits as a dog here. I'm not sure they can't actually win this contest today. I'll take the points in this one. Play Kansas State. |

11-21-20 | Wisconsin v. Northwestern +7.5 | 7-17 | Win | 100 | 17 h 39 m | Show | |
Very good Big 10 battle here between two of the best in the league. Wisconsin is 2-0 after demolishing their first two opponents. They opened with a win at home over Illinois, 45-7 and then went into Penn State last week and beat them 49-11. The defense is once again excellent, ranked 1st overall in the nation right now and have only allowed one redzone possession and that resulted in a field goal. Northwester has also flashed defense, ranked 11th overall in the nation. The Wildcats have won and covered their first four games this season after last week's win at Purdue, 27-20. They have yet to allow more than 20 points to any one team. This one really shapes up to be a nice defensive battle. With Northwestern getting 7 or 7 1/2 points that just looks to be too many points to this fine defensive team. Play Northwestern. |

11-21-20 | UCLA v. Oregon -17 | 35-38 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 37 m | Show | |
UCLA was forced to move their game last week to Sunday because of the virus. They responded well with a 34-10 win over Cal as a 3.5 point dog. They opened the season with a loss at Colorado, 42-48 as a 7-point favorite. Oregon has also played two games, opening with a win at home over Stanford, 35-14 and then winning at Washington State, 43-29. Now they face a possibly shorthanded UCLA squad. UCLA Qb Dorian Thompson-Robinson is questionable in this game with his Covid Quarantine. UCLA is ranked 25th offensively after two games. The defense is 33rd. These teams haven't met since 2018 and in that contest the Ducks drowned the Bruins, 42-21. With or without the UCLA QB, I like Oregon at home in this one. Play Oregon. |

11-21-20 | Cincinnati -4.5 v. Central Florida | 36-33 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 33 m | Show | |
Cincinnati Bearcats looking to make one of the New Year's day playoff bowl games and they have made a statement for that thus far. Cincy didn't hold back last week against ECU, beating them 55-17 and even faking a punt up 32-points. The Cats are a perfect 7-0 and have what could be their biggest test thus far at Central Florida. UCF is 5-2 but lost to Memphis by just one point and lost to Tulsa by eight. The Cats won this game last year 27-24 at home after UFC had won the prior three contests. UCF has the nation's top ranked offense with Cincy coming in at 21st. Both teams will have their respective hands full with the opposing offenses. UCF has a poor defense, ranked 94th overall and has a 81.1% defensive redzone efficiency as they have allowed 21 TD's out of 28 redzone tries this year. I believe this is the Bearcats season. I look for them to win here today, cover and keep their playoff hopes alive. Play Cincinnati. |

11-21-20 | Iowa v. Penn State +1.5 | 41-21 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 33 m | Show | |
If there is one team that might be the most difficult to understand what happened, that's Penn State. It has been one disaster after another for the Nittany Lions this year. They are 0-4 both S/U and ATS, though they did come back after being down big last week at Nebraska but still lost 23-30. They have allowed at least 30 points in all four games thus far. Iowa has bounced back after starting the season 0-2. The Hawkeyes have since flexed their defensive muscles with a 49-7 win over Michigan State and a 35-7 win at Minnesota last week. Penn State has dominated in recent years, winning the last four against Iowa and covering three of the four. It's not too often we get Penn State at home as a small dog. Futhermore, I believe this team is better then they have showed us thus far. The season likely has no meaning now for the Lions, but they still play for pride. Take Penn State. |
