09-08-18 | Connecticut +32 v. Boise State | 7-62 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 33 m | Show | |
                        CONNECTICUT @ BOISE ST Connecticut amasses 486 total yards but had trouble putting the ball in the end zone. They fumbled twice and had an interception that killed 3 drives. They were off balance defensively and allowed 5 TD passes and a 70 yard run. They are better than that and will have to try and keep their defense from giving up the big plays. Boise St is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games. They were held to only 111 yards on the ground and needed some big plays by their QB and some lapses by the Troy defense. Take Connecticut |

09-08-18 | USC v. Stanford -4.5 | 3-17 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
                                    USC @ STANFORD USC had all they could handle last week from UNLV. They pulled awau late and had to score 34 points in the 4th quarter. They allowed UNLV to rush for over 300 yards and against Stanford that is not what they would like to see. Stanford passed for 332 yards and 4 TD's while Love was held to just 29 yards by a tough Aztec defense. Their defense held the Aztecs to 262 total yards and just 10 points in their 31-10 win. Stanford has won 5 straight game on their home field and USC will have to do better stopping the run if they can have a chance. Take Stanford |

09-08-18 | Penn State v. Pittsburgh +9.5 | 51-6 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 54 m | Show | |
                                PITTSBURGH @ PENN ST Pittsburg won easily in their opening game over Albany 33-7 and should be all primed for this bi rivalry game against Penn St, Penn St had to pull out an OT win last week over App St as a 24 point favorite. They allowed almost 300 passing yards and App St got over 450 total yards. QB McSorlely threw for 239 yards but found the end zone just once. Pitt's QB upset Miami last season and last week threw for 2 TD's and ran for a 3rd. Penn St gave up 28 points in the 4th quarter last week and had better be prepared foe a fired up Pitt team. Take Pittsburgh |

09-08-18 | Fresno State v. Minnesota -2.5 | 14-21 | Win | 100 | 55 h 24 m | Show | |
                           FRESNO ST @ MINNESOTA Fresno came up with a big win against punchless Idaho with over 340 yards in the air and on the ground. Idaho gave up some big plays and threw 5 picks that led to some easy scores. They scored 2 TD's on blocked FG's and 1 on a pick 6. Minnesota had 300 rushing yards and QB Annexstad threw for 227 yards and 3 TD's. The Gophers have to slow down the run to keep Fresno in 3rd and longs and then keep pressure on the QB in the pocket. Fresno was better offensively at home and that could play into a Minnesota win at home. Minnesota is 4-1 in their last 5 non conference games. Take Minnesota |
|||||||
09-08-18 | Clemson v. Texas A&M +12.5 | 28-26 | Win | 100 | 55 h 13 m | Show | |
                              CLEMSON @ TEXAS A&M Clemson opened the season with a 48-7 win over an overmatched Furman. They rushed and passed for over 350 yards but allowed Furman to run for over 200 yards, Furman actually had the ball for over 34 minutes but had 2 fumbled and only 13 first downs. They did syop Clemson on 3rd down allowing just 4 of 12 to be successful. Texas crushed their opponent 59-7 and amassed over 750 yards including over 500 yards on the ground and 5 TD's. QB Mond was 17 for 25 for 184 yards and 2 TD's but they want the ground game to be effective against one of the better defensive line in the country. For Clemson QB Bryant passed for just 127 yards and will have to improve on that. The talented Texas LB's will need to be a big part of the defensive scheme by keeping the ground game at a minimum. This seems like a big line a nd a game Texas can come out ahead. Take Texas A&M |
|||||||
09-08-18 | UMass v. Georgia Southern +1.5 | 13-34 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
                       U MASS @ GEORGIA SOUTHERN U Mass was drubbed 55=21 by Boston College who is not known for a scoring offense. They were done by half losing the game 48-7as their defense allowed 600 yards including 326 on the ground and letting the opposing QB throw 4 TD's and 279 yards. The Mass rushing game was non existent getting just 66 total yards and used 2QB's that produced only 248 yards and 1 pick with a meaningless TD in the 4th quarter. Georgia Southern did what they do best by running for over 300 yards averaging 6 yards a run and controlling the clock. They didn't face the toughest competition but held SC St to 151 total yards including 31 in the air on 2 of 10 passing. Mass was demolished and it was their 4th loss in their last 5 road games. Take Georgia Southern |
|||||||
09-08-18 | Colorado +3.5 v. Nebraska | 33-28 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
                          COLORADO @ NEBRASKA Colorado comes in with a big blowout of state rival CSU on the road. QB Montez threw for 4TD's and 338 yards while the ground game picked duo over 259 yds. Their defense held State to 103 rushing yards and less than 220 yds in the air. The game was over at the half when Colorado had built a 28-10 lead. Nebraska will have a freshman QB but good receivers if he gets time to pass. The running game will have to help to open up the pass. The defense might be the problem as they gave up at least 54 points in their last 3 games last season. If Nebraska has to play catch up the rookie QB could have a long day. Take Colorado |
|||||||
09-08-18 | Georgia State +24.5 v. NC State | 7-41 | Loss | -103 | 48 h 10 m | Show | |
                                 GA STATE @ NC STATE Ga St lost 6vgames last season and only 1 was by more than 25 points and that was to Penn St. Their QB threw for 3 TD's while the running game picked up 130 yards and the defense held their opponent to just 6 points in the 2nd half and held their opponents passing game to 200 yards along with a pick. NC St squeezed by FCS James Madison 24-13 as their running game was held to 83yards on 29 carries for a 2.9 average. They did pass for over 3oo yards and 2 TD's but will need more offense than that to cover the spread. If they don't straighten out the running game, it could be a long afternoon for the Wolfpack. Take Georgia State |

09-08-18 | Western Michigan +28.5 v. Michigan | 3-49 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 25 m | Show | |
09-08-18 | Duke v. Northwestern -2.5 | 21-7 | Loss | -117 | 48 h 49 m | Show | |
                          DUKE @ NORTHWESTERN Northwestern picked upma big road win in their 1st game last week @ Purdue with a balanced attack that rushed for 166 yards and passes for 235. They jumped out to a 31-17 halftime lead and never looked back as their defense forced 3 interceptions and kept Purdue off balance for most of the game. Duke was held to just 381 total yards with less than 200 passing. Army controlled the ball for most of the game but Duke came up with a big play when the needed it. They were just 2 for 9 in 3rd down efficiency and will need to be better as Northwestern's defense will dictate the game. Northwestern has won 9 straight games and this should take them to 10. Take Northwestern |
|||||||
09-08-18 | Mississippi State -8 v. Kansas State | 31-10 | Win | 100 | 48 h 41 m | Show | |
                             MISS ST @ KANSAS ST                         Miss St trounced Stephen F Austin with over 600 yards of offense that scored at least 3 TD's in each quarter. Their defense held them to just 77 yards on the ground with 177 yards in passing along with a pick. Bulldog QB Thompson passes for 364 yards and 5 td's while the running game rolled out 220 yards and 4 TD'S. The defense Held Austin to just 17% completion on 3rd downs while completing over 50% of their own. Kansas St barley squeaked by So Dakota 27-24 as 24 point favorites and had to come from behind in the 4th quarter to pull out a close win. They were behind in 3 quarters and that won't be a good plan against this strong Bulldog offense. They were outgained by over 100 yards through the air and that will be a disaster. Take Mississippi State |
|||||||
09-01-18 | BYU +11 v. Arizona | 28-23 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
                              BYU @ ARIZONA Arizona had 1 of the worst defenses in the PAC 12 last season allowing at least 35 points in 7 of their last 10 games while losing 4 of their last 5. They were also 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games but have perhaps the best QB in the conference. He will be tested as they lost 3 of their best offensive lineman to the draft and another is suspended for the first 2 games. They will be facing a team that held 7 opponents to 21 points or less and held teams to just 3.7 yards a carry. The defense is returning 7 starters from last season while the offense is starting their senior QB who passed for over 3700 yards and 23 TD's. Arizona needs to control the front line and allow QB Tate time to pass with good blocking for their running game which is easier said than done. Look for a tough defensive effort from BYU that will keep the game close. Take BYU |
|||||||
09-01-18 | Louisville +24.5 v. Alabama | 14-51 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
                           LOUISVILLE VS ALABAMA The 1 thing the Tide have been vulnerable to is the pass and Louisville has their top 3 receivers back from last year while 5 of the Tide's top 6 defensive backs are gone. No team has been better stopping the run but again the Tide lost 3 of their top 8 lineman on defense. Every year they seem to reload after losing players but Louisville is still a tough opponent without Lamar Jackson. It looks like Hurts will be starting at QB for Alabama and he isn't the passer that Tagovailoa is so the running game is going to be the main part of the Alabama offense in this game. Louisville's passing game could keep them in a tight contest if the Tide play ball control. This will be a big test for both schools so conservative play could keep the scoring tight. Take Louisville |
|||||||
09-01-18 | Michigan -2.5 v. Notre Dame | 17-24 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
                          MICHIGAN @ NOTRE DAME Michigan had 1 of the best defenses in the country last year and have 9 starters returning. They had the best pass defense in the country and Notre dame will be without their leading rusher Josh Adams which only puts more pressure on the QB to come up with big plays. Michigan's defense allowed less than 19 points a game last year while the Irish struggled against the better teams they played losing to Georgia and Miami and then Stanford in their Bowl game. If their defense doesn't come up with some big plays, this game could get ugly. Take Michigan |
|||||||
09-01-18 | UNLV +25.5 v. USC | 21-43 | Win | 100 | 2 h 45 m | Show | |
                              UNLV @ USC The Trojans lost their QB who took them to the PAC 12 title and instead will be starting a freshman. They lost Jones a RB who gained over 3600 yards in his 3 seasons. They won't be as good as last year but they will win their share of games. UNLV has a very capable offense that scored at least 30 points in 6 games last year and have a balanced offense. They have 4 returning offensive linemen and a QB who threw for over 1400 yards while completing 52% of his passes. USC should win this game but this is a big price for a freshman QB in his 1st game to cover. Take UNLV |
|||||||
09-01-18 | Washington State v. Wyoming +3.5 | 41-19 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
                        WASHINGTON STATE @ WYOMING Wyoming picked up where they left off last season with another win 29-7 in their opening game. Their defense didn't allow a score until the 4th quarter and controlled the clock all game with over 300 yards on the ground. Their defense held New Mexico St to just 135 total yards. The Cougars have to replace their QB and 6 starters and that will be extremely hard at Wyoming who are very tough at home. The Cougars lost 4 of their last 5 road games last season. Take Wyoming |
|||||||
09-01-18 | West Virginia v. Tennessee +10.5 | 40-14 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
                          WEST VIRGINIA vs TENNESSEE West Virginia can score points but have problems stopping the other teams. They allowed opponents to score at least 30 points in 7 of their last 10 games and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. They will be facing a tough Tennessee team that is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. They won 3 of their 1st four games last season but lost to Georgia and Alabama and had a tough 15-9 loss to So Carolina. They were 3rd in the country in pass defense so the Mountaineers will have their hands full. Take Tennessee |
|||||||
09-01-18 | Ole Miss v. Texas Tech -2 | 47-27 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 60 m | Show | |
                           OLE MISS @ TEXAS TECH Ole Miss is going to pass and that will be no secret. The bad news is Texas Tech will be bringing back 9 starters on defense and has a tough secondary led by their safeties. As long as they can stop the run and that shouldn't be a problem, Ole Miss will be in a bunch of 3rd and longs and that isn't a recipe for winning. Texas Tech will also be throwing and they have to get used to their new QB situation but their experienced OL should open up the running game against a questionable defense and that will help their passing game. look for the Tech defense to make the stops when needed. Take Texas Tech |
|||||||
09-01-18 | James Madison +13.5 v. NC State | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 2 h 10 m | Show | |
                        JAMES MADISON @ NC STATE James Madison has consecutive 14 win seasons and last year went to the FCS championship game but lost. They have a strong running game with all 3 backs returning to open up the passing game and keep pressure off the QB. NC State has to deal with losing their whole defensive line as well as 2 of their top 3 linebackers. They lost their top 2 running backs and 2 of their starting offensive linemen. Ball control should keep the scoring down with James Madison strong running game against a defense that is starting over with new players. The Dukes defense averaged just 11 points a game last season and will be tough to score on. Take James Madison |

01-01-18 | Alabama v. Clemson +3 | 24-6 | Loss | -100 | 34 h 1 m | Show | |
01-01-18 | Georgia v. Oklahoma +3 | 54-48 | Loss | -115 | 30 h 56 m | Show | |
                            GEORGIA VS OKLAHOMA Georgia who has the nation's 4th best defense, squares off against Oklahoma who has the nation's best overall offense. QB Mayfield leads the Sooner offense with over 4300 yards and 41 TD passes on a team that averages over 44 points a game. Georgia has 1 of the better pass defenses that has held opponents to just over 158 yards through the air while giving up less than 14 points a game. Georgia had just 1 loss and that was to Auburn who they ended up beating in the SEC title game. Oklahoma won the Big 12 title when they beat TCU 41-17 which was their 8th consecutive win to finish out their season. This will be the passing game of Oklahoma and the 10th ranked Bulldog running game and the ability of the 2 defenses to try and keep points off the board. Because Oklahoma would have a better chance to catch up if they fall behind. and the fact the Sooners aren't bad against the run, the points look too good to pass on. Take Oklahoma |
|||||||
01-01-18 | Central Florida v. Auburn -9.5 | 34-27 | Loss | -110 | 411 h 56 m | Show | |
                          AUBURN VS CENTRAL FLORIDA Auburn was 10-3 and lost the SEC Championship game to Georgia their last game. their other 2 losses were to Clemson and LSU. Their 15th ranked offense is led by QB Stidham who passed for over 2800 yards and 17 TD's as the Tigers had 1 of the most balanced offenses in the country. They rushed and passed for over 225 yards a game while averaging 34.4 points a game which was good for 25th best. Their running game was ranked 22nd as they won 8 of their last 10 games with all 8 wins by double digits. They were helped by a defense ranked 25th that allowed just 312 yards a game and only 17.3 points which was 10th best in the country. They had some big wins including victories over Alabama and Georgia who are both in the Championship series. UCF was the only undefeated team in the FBS but they played most of their games against American Conference opponents. They led the nation in scoring with over 49 points a game and scored at least 45 points in 7 of their last 9 games. What they don't have is a defense like Auburn's as they were ranked 91st, allowing over 420 yards a game including over 260 passing yards ranking them 111th. They allowed over 25 points a game but their last 2 opponents scored 97 points total. If they falter on defense their offense could be under way too much pressure against an excellent Auburn defense. Take Auburn |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Washington v. Penn State -2 | 28-35 | Win | 100 | 365 h 38 m | Show | |
                              PENN ST VS WASHINGTON Penn St lost 2 games this year to Ohio St when they blew an 18 point lead and to Michigan St on a FG on the last play of the game. They were led by QB McSorley who threw for over 3200 yards and 26 TD's and 1 of the best running games led by RB Barkley with over 1100 yards and 16 TD's. That had their offense ranked 30th averaging over 450 yards a game and scoring over 41 points a game. They scored at least 35 points in 5 of their last 6 games while their defense allowed 19 points or less in 9 of their games and were ranked 20th overall. They allowed only 329 yards a game and were ranked 7th in points allowed at 15.5 a game. Washington finished strong winning 4 of their last 5 games and their 56th ranked offense averaged 37 points a game and over 400 yards. Their well balanced offense was led by QB Browning who threw for over 2500 yards and 18 TD's with a running game that scored 34 TD's. They have been pretty good defensively as they are ranked 5th and allow just 277 yards and only 14.5 points a game but in 2 of their last 3 games allowed 30 points to both Stanford and Utah. They haven't played a team as good as Penn St on both sides of the ball and will need to bring their best. Take Penn State |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Louisville -6.5 v. Mississippi State | 27-31 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 25 m | Show | |
                          MISSISSIPPI ST VS LOUISVILLE Mississippi St lost 2 of their last 3 games as well as their head coach who accepted the head coaching job at Florida and to make matters worse they lost their starting QB who broke his ankle in their final regular season game. They had a 4 game winning streak where the defense allowed 23 points or less and then lost 2 of their final 3 games as the defense allowed 31 points in each of the 2 losses. Their offense which averages 32 points a game also stumbled scoring 28 points or less in each of those last 3 games while the defense allowed at least 31 points in each of their last 4 losses. Louisville finished the season winning 4 of their last 5 games and 6 of their last 9 overall. Their offense was ranked 6th in the country in total offense and they scored at least 38 points in 6 of their last 9 games while averaging 39 points and 560 yards a game during the regular season. Their defense allowed 21 points or less in their last 3 games. They were led on offense by QB Jackson who passed for over 3400 yards while throwing 25 TD's and just 6 picks. They will be hurting on offense without QB Fitzgerald who passed for over 1700 yards and threw 15 TD's while he also was the 2nd leading rusher on the team with 984 yards and led the team with 14 rushing TD's. Take Louisville |
|||||||
12-29-17 | USC v. Ohio State -7 | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 346 h 41 m | Show | |
                               OHIO ST VS USC Ohio St probably feels slighted since they won the Big 10 Championship game but weren't chosen in the Championship Series. Since losing their last game they reeled off 4 straight wins to end their season with big wins against Michigan, Michigan St and their biggest win against Wisconsin to win the Big 10 title game. Their offense was on fire scoring at least 38 points in 8 of their last 11 games., They are ranked 3rd in the country as they average over 500 yards and score over 42 points a game. Their running game is ranked 15th while they pass for over 274 yards a game which gives them 1 of the most balanced offenses in the country. Their 15th ranked defense allows just 292 yards a game and less than 20 points while are their best at stopping the run at 108 yards a game. USC beat Stanford for the PAC 12 title their last game which was their 5th straight win. Their offense is their strong suit and is led by QB Darnold and their passing game. He has thrown for over 3700 yards and has the 19th best passing game as they average 294 yards in the air and 34 points a game. Their defense which is only 100th in the country, allows over 400 yards and over 26 points a game and must play better than that against this Buckeye team. They can't afford to have to play catch up against this defense. Take Ohio State |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Kentucky v. Northwestern -7 | 23-24 | Loss | -113 | 342 h 3 m | Show | |
                          NORTHWESTERN VS KENTUCKY Northwestern finished the season with a 7 game winning streak and seemed to keep getting better each week. They outscored their last 3 opponents 104-20 while the offense scored at least 31 points in 5 of their last 7 games. They won 8 of their last 10 games with the 2 losses to Penn St and Wisconsin. They had a very balanced offense that averaged over 400 yards and 30 points a game led by QB Thorson who passed for over 2800 yards and a rushing game that scored 28 TD's. Their 40th ranked defense allowed less than 360 yards a game and were ranked 9th against the run and 19th in points allowed with less than 20 a game. Kentucky lost 4 of their last 6 games while their defense allowed at least 34 points in 5 of their last 7 games. Their 87th ranked defense allowed over 400 yards and over 28 points a game while they were dismal against the pass being ranked 113th and allowing over 263 yards a game. Their offense was 105th in the country averaging only 351 yards a game and were pretty bad passing the ball averaging 181 yards which ranked them 100th. If they can't move the ball their defense will be worn down and the game could really get out of hand. Take Northwestern |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Stanford v. TCU -2.5 | 37-39 | Loss | -115 | 323 h 36 m | Show | |
                             TCU VS STANFORD TCU is ranked 35th in total defense but specialize in stopping the run as they allow less than 100 yards a game which is 4th best in the nation. They don't give up many points either allowing just 17.6 a game which ranks them 12th. They allowed 14 points or less in 7 games this year while offensively average over 33 points and over 400 yards a game. They finished the season winning 7 of their last 10 games and won by double digits in their last 5 wins of the year. Stanford had an excellent year and won 8 of their last 10 games but lost the PAC 12 Championship in their last game. They weren't that bad defensively but they allowed 400 yards a game and were ranked 73rd against the pass and the rush allowing over 170 yards a game rushing and over 225 yards in the air. They had a good offense that put up 390 yards and 32 points a game but most of that came against some weak defensive teams. TCU has a superior defense which should be able to stop the Cardinals and keep their offense off the field. Take TCU |

12-28-17 | Virginia Tech v. Oklahoma State -4 | 21-30 | Win | 100 | 53 h 3 m | Show | |
                           OKLAHOMA ST VS VIRGINIA TECH The Cowboys have the #1 QB in Mason Rudolph and are averaging almost 400 yards a game in the air. They average 576 yards a game and score over 46 points a game. They won 6 of their last 8 games and scored at least 40 points in 8 of the last 10 games of the season. Defensively it's another story as they allowed at least 39 points in 4 of their last 5 games but they have had some good defensive games holding 4 of their last 10 opponents to 21 points or less. They allow 400 yards and 30 points a game but they will be without their leading receiver. Their offense isn't all that good to begin with as they are ranked 71st and score less than 29 points a game. In their last 4 games of the season they were held to 22 points or less and 24 points or less in 6 of their last 8. They have a good defense that only allowed 13.5 points a game but gave up 28 points to Miami and Georgia Tech in 2 of their last 4 games. Nobody was able to stop the Cowboy offense and Virginia tech isn't the best defense they have played. Take Oklahoma State |

12-27-17 | Missouri -2.5 v. Texas | 16-33 | Loss | -110 | 36 h 24 m | Show | |
                              TEXAS VS MISSOURI Texas finished 6-6 never winning more than 2 straight games all year and went 3-4 in their last 7 games. Their offense struggled and played inconsistently as they scored 23 points or less in 4 of those games which was below their average of 29 a game. They will be without 2 running backs and their best offensive lineman as well as a WR because of suspensions and players sitting the game out. They will also not have 2 players in the secondary and possibly their best LB for the same reason and their weakness is pass defense. Missouri won their last 6 games and scored at least 45 points in each game. They have the 15th ranked offense that averages over 39 points and over 500 yards a game led by QB Lock who leads the nation with 43 TD passes. They also run for 200 yards a game as they can both pass and run. Defensively they allow over 31 points and over 400 yards a game but held 5 of their last 6 opponents to 21 points or less while they are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. Take Missouri |

12-27-17 | Purdue +3.5 v. Arizona | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 37 h 32 m | Show | |
                            PURDUE VS ARIZONA Purdue had a better than expected season finishing 6-6. They won 3 of their last 4 games getting great play from their defense which had been a problem in recent seasons. They were ranked 49th overall allowing 371 yards a game but were stingy with points as they ranked 19th in points allowed at less than 20 a game. They lost by 11 total points in 3 of their last 4 losses while their offense averaged 390 yards and over 24 points a game while scoring at least 29 points in 4 of their last 5 wins. Arizona finished out 7-5 but had 1 of the worst defenses in the country which was ranked 115th overall allowing over 34 points and over 460 yards a game. They were especially bad defending the pass allowing over 276 yards a game which had them ranked 122nd. They lost 3 of their last 4 games and gave up over 40 points in the 3 losses and in 6 of their last 8 games allowed at least 37 points. They have a good offense ranked 17th as they average over 41 points and almost 500 yards a game but most of those stats were against weak defense as 6 teams they played were all ranked 93rd or worse in the country with 5 of them in the bottom 30 in the nation. Take Purdue |

12-26-17 | Northern Illinois +6 v. Duke | 14-36 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 18 m | Show | |
                          DUKE VS NORTHERN ILLINOIS Duke relied on a defense that was ranked 22nd allowing 335 yards and 21 points a game. The problem was a very inconsistent offense that scored 21 points or less over a 6 game losing streak before they won their last 2 games going 6-6 for the year and the defense allowed at least 21 points in 6 of their last 8 games after allowing 20 points or less in their first 4. Offensively they were ranked 92nd averaging 25 points and and 379 yards a game. The Huskies might have even been better on defense as they were 18th in the country overall allowing 21 points and 328 yards a game. They won 6 of their last 8 games while scoring at least 30 points in their last 4 wins as they averaged over 30 points and almost 400 yards a game that was balanced almost equally between the run and pass. Their defense actually ranked in the top 25 in 9 different defensive categories. With Duke's offense and the Husky defense being what they are, asking Duke to win by a TD to cover the spread is asking a lot. Take Northern Illinois |

                         WEST VIRGINIA VD UTAH West Virginia finished a 7-5 season losing their last 2 games and their starting QB, Their defense allowed 6 of their last 9 opponents to score at least 31 points and at least 50 in 2 of their last 3 losses. Their defense allowed an average of over 31 points and over 450 yards a game which ranks them 109th in the country. They were equally bad against the pass and rush allowing over 200 yards a game in each category. Their offense which was able to score suffered after the ]t lost their QB. They were held to 28 points or less in 3 of their last 4 games. Utah finished the season 6-6 but 3 of their 6 losses were by 7 points total.Their defense played tough and were ranked 32nd overall as they allowed less than 24 points and 354 yards a game.

                           OHIO ST VS WISCONSIN Ohio St has won 3 straight games since their 30 point loss at Iowa. Their offense is ranked 5th and averages over 500 yards and 43.8 points a game while their defense is ranked 9th allowing 20 points a game. A lot hinges on the health of QB Barrett who has cartilage damage to his knee and is listed as probable. They scored the fewest points in their last 2 road games out of their last 10 games. Wisconsin is 12-0 and has a chance to secure their spot in the Championship Series with a victory. They haven't gotten the respect as some of the other schools because of their softer schedule. they have the best defense in the country allowing only 237 yards a game and just 12 points. Their offense has scored at least 31 points in 7 of their last 10 games while averaging over 400 yards and 35 points a game. With an ailing QB at Ohio St, I'll take the points. Take Wisconsin |

                             MIAMI VS CLEMSON Miami lost their 1st game in Pittsburgh last week after 10 straight wins. Their defense has carried them most of the way as their offense has been held under 30 points in 6 of their last 8 games even though they average over 31 a game. They are 74th on total offense averaging 423 yards a game. Now they play the 7th ranked defense in the country and they will be without their 2nd and 3rd leading receivers and will need to establish the run but Clemson only allows 113 yards a game. They will really need their defense to step up but they have allowed 52 points over the last 2 games which is the most points allowed in 2 straight games all year. Clemson is playing about as well as they have all year since losing their only game to Syracuse. They have won 5 straight games with wins against Florida St, Georgia Tech and NC St all in a row and last week shut down So Carolina. They average over 35 points a game and they have held 7 teams to less than 259 total yards in a game. If Miami isn't careful this one could be over at halftime. Take Clemson |

Their offense is ranked 20th and score 36.7 points a game while passing and running for over 200 yards a game. They have 2 losses this year and both were away from their home field. They have to shut down the Bulldog running game again if they hope to win. They had 3 long pass plays for TD's in their 1st win against Georgia but had better not count on Georgia's defense to have another bad day. Take Georgia |

                                STANFORD VS USC Stanford has won 8 of their last 9 games including a 38-20 spanking of Notre Dame. They have scored at least 30 points in 5 of their last 8 wins and their defense has allowed 20 points or less in 6 of their last 7 games. Since replacing their starting QB 4 games ago, Chryst's replacement Costello has passed for over 1150 yards and thrown 9 TD's and just 2 picks while completing 61% of his passes while the nation's #2 back Bryce Love is all ready to go after being hobbled for a bit. USC has won 4 straight games since getting hammered by the Irish 49-14 in their last loss. Their last 4 wins were arguably against some of the worst defenses around as none of them are ranked above 111th in the country while their defense allowed at least 23 points in 5 of their last 6 games. They have 1 of the better passing games with QB Darnold ranked 12th in the country but he has thrown just 4 TD's in his last 3 games. Stanford has won 7 of the last 10 meetings with USC. Take Stanford |

11-25-17 | Colorado +10.5 v. Utah | 13-34 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
                        COLORADO @ UTAH Both teams are 5-6 and are playing for bowl eligibility. Colorado comes in having lost 3 of their last 4 game but QB Montez has thrown for over 300 yards in 3 straight games and they have the 2nd leading rusher in the conference. Their offense has scored over 30 points in 6 games and at least 36 points in 3 of their last 5. Utah will try and forget about last week's devastating loss when they allowed Washington to score 10 points in the last minute of the game. That was their 6th loss in their last 7 games and today will most likely be without 2 key defenders. They will need them as they allowed at least 30 points in their last 4 losses and they are facing 1 of the better offense that passes for 266 yards a game and scores 27.6 points while averaging over 400 yards. Utah is 2-6 in conference and this spread might be too much too ask. Take Colorado |

Their defense is ranked 7th allowing just 290 yards a game and 13'7 points which is 4th best. The Gamecocks have won 4 of their last 5 and have played well all year. Their schedule hasn't been tat tough as they beat a broken Florida team and Wofford last week and Vanderbilt for their last 3 wins. They don't have a great offense as it ranks 104th averaging 352 yards a game and will struggle to get yards against Clemson's tough defense. Take Clemson |

                       WISCONSIN @ MINNESOTA The Badgers will try to stay undefeated if they want o get to the Championship series. Even though they are undefeated a weaker schedule has them probably having to run the table and win the Big 10 championship. They lead the Big 10 in scoring defense allowing just 13.7 a game. Their offense is 2nd in the conference running the ball as they average 239 yards a game. They have won their last 5 games by at least 14 points and held their last 7 opponents to 17 points or less. Minnesota has scored 20 of their 29 offensive TD's on the ground but good run defenses have slowed them down as last week's 39-0 loss to Northwestern. They don't have a passing game so Wisconsin should be able to control both sides of the ball as the Gopher defense gives up over 160 yards on the ground and 175 yards in the air. Take Wisconsin |

                    NORTH CAROLINA @ NORTH CAROLINA ST The Tar Heels take on in state rivals No Carolina St. The Tarheels have been playing their best football all year and have won 2 straight after dropping 6 in a row. They have finally settled on a QB who has thrown 6 TD's without a pick the last 2 games and 475 yards. Their defense has played better as well allowing 24 points or less in 3 of their last 5 games The Wolfpack have been trending in the other direction having lost 3 of their last 4 games and being held to 24 points in 3 of their last 4 as well. They allowed over 30 points in all 3 of their losses and it was the first time an opponent scored 30 points so their defense has been questionable. Given the huge spread and the rivalry I an going with the Tarheels. Take North Carolina |

Both of these teams run and both are in the top 10 in that category. Tech has had their troubles losing 3 of their last 4 but all 3 losses were on the road while at home they are 5-0. This will be Tech's biggest game so far and Georgia needs a win to continue their run to the College Football Championship and Tech needs a win to get into a bowl game, The Yellow Jackets have the 29th ranked defense that allows just 342 yards a game and they will be ready for this one.

                         ILLINOIS @ OHIO STATE Illinois lost 8 straight games but in 5 of their last 7 losses haven't allowed an opponent to score 30 points. The problem is their offense that hasn't scored more than 24 points in any of their losses. This is also by far the biggest spread they have been as an underdog and they have covered the spread 3 of the last 4 games they were a double digit dog. Their 69th ranked defense allows just over 400 yards a game but only allows 200 yards through the air. We know all about the Ohio St team and their 8-2 record. Their last 3 games have been a roller coaster ride for them as they came back to beat Penn St 39-38 and then were mauled 55-24 by Iowa before destroying the Spartans 48-3 last week. This could be a let down spot for them and a game they could overlook Illinois who are playing with nothing to lose. It's a lot to ask of any team to cover a 40 point spread. Take Illinois |

They also have another loss to Ohio St but have won games against 3 other Big 10 schools. Having said all of this it should be noted that they have covered the spread in 5 straight games and 7 of the 9 games they played. Their defense has played well and are pretty good against the pass allowing just over 200 yards a game and 35 points. Indiana will have to stop a running game that averages over 166 yards a game. They are just 1-6 in conference and have lost 4 of their last 5 games while scoring 17 points or less in 3 of their last 4. They are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 games and as a double digit favorite this will be another tough game to cover. Take Rutgers |

Their defense has been the spark and they are 8th in the country in points allowed at 16,8 a game. They will need a lot of help defensively because their offense is missing some key players who were scratched late. The are playing Texas Tech who is just 2-5 in conference and have lost 5 of their last 7 games. Their defense hasn't played well and are ranked 105th in points allowed as they give up over 33 a game and are one dimensional on offense with only a strong passing game.

                           VIRGINIA @ MIAMI Virginia has played below what they are capable of in losing 3 of their last 4 games. They were down just 17-14 at the half last week against Louisville before letting the game slip away and the week before the beat an excellent Georgia tech team 40-36 while holding the explosive Tech team to under 400 yards. They held a good Pitt offense to just 310 yards but made too many mistakes including a 75 yard punt return for a TD in that loss. They had a 5-1 record prior to their last few games and their defense is not as bad as their recent games. They are 40th in the country in total defense and are good against the pass allowing less than 200 yards a game. Miami has gone undefeated and seems to be improving each game. they scored a season high 41 points against Notre Dame last week but had scored less than 30 points in the 5 previous games while 4 of their last 6 wins were by 8 points or less. That offense is ranked 65th and averages 450 yards a game with most of it in the air. This could be a real let down spot after last week's big win so that spread against this Virginia defense is a little too big. Take Virginia |

They have a great defense that has held 8 of their 10 opponents to 17 points or less and are ranked 3rd in total defense and 9th in points allowed at 16.4 a game. Their 255 yards in total offense a game is 3rd in the country while their offense which put up over 30 points in each of the last 3 games, rushes for over 200 yards which has had them controlling the ball in many of their games. Their last loss was to Penn St on the road and their other loss was to arch rival Michigan St. Wisconsin is 10-0 after their big win over Iowa last week. They have had a rather easy schedule and their last 3 wins were against 3 Big 10 bottom feeders with a combined 3-18 conference record. They only have 2 wins against teams with records above .500 and this is a really good spot for a letdown after last week's win. This is a great time to have the Wolverines as a TD underdog.

They are ranked 17th in total defense and allow just 18.4 points a game. They didn't have a great 2nd half last week as they were outscored by Wake Forest 27-17 but won the game. The 37 points allowed was the most all year by the Irish. Miami who is undefeated might be their toughest opponent since Georgia. They are 8-0 and held 6 opponents below 20 points scoring and are ranked 12th in total defense.

Their defense is very good as they allow 307 yards total a game and just 16.9 points a game. Georgia is undefeated while the Tigers have lost 2 games and they have had their offense shut down by Clemson and LSU who both have great defenses.

They average less than 400 yards a game but manage to score over 28 points a game. But it's their defense that people talk about. They have held 6 teams to 21 points scoring or less and that includes Penn St and Michigan St. They have 3 losses this season all by 16 points total. They allow 18.1 points a game which is 16th best in the country and are tied for 10th with 13 interceptions. Wisconsin is the only undefeated team in the Big 10 led by QB Hornbrook who has passed for over 1700 yards and thrown 15 TD's. They have a well balanced offense that averages over 400 yards a game but rely on their ground game more. They have played a pretty easy schedule so far as their last 4 wins were against Big 10 teams with a combined 4-20 conference record and overall faced only 2 opponents with better than .500 records all year. They are ranked 4th in the country in points allowed and 4th stopping the run. They have failed to cover the spread 3 of the last 4 games they were a double digit favorite at home. Take Iowa |

11-11-17 | Wake Forest v. Syracuse | 64-43 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 49 m | Show | |
                           WAKE FOREST @ SYRACUSE Wake has lost 4 of their last 5 games after jumping out to a 4-0 start and 3 of those losses were in their last 3 road games. Their defense has allowed at least 26 points in their last 5 games after allowing 19 or less in their first 4. Their defense is ranked 81st in the country as they allow over 400 yards a game and they do it with over 200 yards allowed rushing and passing. Syracuse has had a very tough schedule and have lost 4 games of their last 6 to some excellent teams but all 4 losses were on the road. They are 4-1 at home including a big win over Clemson. They allowed 24 points or less in their 4 home wins and allow an average of 365 yards a game from their 43rd ranked defense. Their offense is led by QB Dungey who has passed for over 275 yards in 6 games and leads a passing game that ranks 18th in the country averaging 297 yards a game while scoring over 29 points on average. Their last 2 losses were on the road against Miami and Florida St by 11 points total while they are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Syracuse has a big advantage in this game as they are home and Wake has lost 3 straight road games. Take Syracuse |

                           VIRGINIA TECH @ GEORGIA TECH The Hokies played in my opinion just 2 high quality opponents this season and lost both games. Those were against Clemson and Miami. Prior they had 5 wins against teams either ranked low or FCS teams. Now after being spanked by Miami 28-10 on the road last week they go into Georgia Tech another tough team. Miami got over 400 yards last week and 200 yards were rushing. Now they face the 3rd ranked rushing team in the nation who average over 330 yards a game. They also average 32 points a game good for a spot in the top 50. Georgia Tech's defense is very good and is ranked 9th in total defense and allow just 334 yards a game and 23 points. Virginia Tech has a good defense as well but Georgia has played a much tougher schedule as 2 of their last 3 losses was a 1 point loss to Miami and a 14 point loss to Clemson as they held the Tigers to 24 points. I'll take points with Yellow Jackets at home. Take Georgia Tech |

11-11-17 | Michigan State +16.5 v. Ohio State | 3-48 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 50 m | Show | |
                             MICHIGAN ST @ OHIO ST Michigan is now a co-leader with the Buckeyes in the Big 10 East after they beat Penn St last week and Ohio St was crushed by Iowa. The Spartans usually rely on a strong running game and a smothering defense to win games but in the last 2 weeks QB Lewerke has thrown for at least 400 yards in each game as well as 6 TD's. Their defense is ranked 11th in the country in total yards allowed and 27th in points allowed (20.1 a game). Their 3rd ranked rushing defense allows just 87 yards a game and that could be a problem for the Buckeyes' 20th ranked running game who average 235 yards a game. Ohio St averages 43.8 yards a game but the Spartans have held Ohio St to 17 points or less in 4 of their last 6 meetings. Ohio St has allowed 93 points in their last 2 games and have played 5 opponents with sub .500 records. These 2 teams have a history of playing close games as 6 of the last 8 meetings were decided by 10 points or less and 4 were by 3 points or less. I don't understand the huge line in this game and am happy to have the dog. Take Michigan State |

11-11-17 | Oklahoma State v. Iowa State +7 | 49-42 | Push | 0 | 99 h 43 m | Show | |
                          OKLAHOMA ST @ IOWA ST The Cowboys lost a shootout last week with the Sooners 62-52. It was the 4th game of their last 6 they allowed 34 points or more. Their 76th ranked defense allows over 400 yards a game and over 28 points. They have an incredible offense ranked 2nd in the country that averages 579 yards and over 45 points to offset their defense. They lost to TCU and were held to 13 points by Texas who are both good defensive teams. Now they are on the road playing Iowa St who are very good defensively as they are ranked 20th giving up 18.9 points a game. Iowa St is also in the top 40 in run defense and average yards allowed. They are coming into this game off a tough 20-16 road loss but it was the 6th time in the last 7 games they held an opponent to 20 points or less. They can also score and have put up over 30 points in 4 of their last 5 wins and they average over 30 points a game. With wins against TCU and Oklahoma I'm at a loss as to why they are a dog at home. Take Iowa State |

                              TEMPLE @ CINCINNATI Temple had a huge win last week when they beat the high powered Navy 34-26. Backup QB Nutile threw 4 TD's and passed for 289 yards in the game as the Owls average 260 passing yards a game. He has also completed at least 72% of his passes in his last 3 games. After scoring more than 20 points just once in their first 5 games, they have scored at least 24 points in their last 4 games and over 30 points in their last 2 wins. They have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games and they beat Cincinnati in their last 2 meetings including 34-13 last year. Cincinnati broke a 5 game losing streak when they just got by Tulane 17-16 last week. They are ranked 119th in scoring as they average just under 19 points a game while defensively are ranked 95th in points allowed as they give up 31 points a game. They were beaten by double digits in 5 of their 6 losses and are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games. Take Temple |

                           NORTH CAROLINA @ PITTSBURGH The Tarheels are having a terrible season and are 1-8 after dropping their 6th straight game. Their offense has been held below 20 points in all 6 losses while the defense has allowed at least 27 points in 5 of them. They are ranked 114th in points allowed as they give up over 33 a game while being ranked 109th in total offense. They score 21 points a game and average less than 350 total yards a game. They aren't very good defensively either as they are ranked 106th in total defense and allow 447 yards a game. Pittsburgh has played a very tough schedule with losses to Penn St, Oklahoma St and NC St but they have won their last 2 very impressively with last week's 31-14 win over Virginia maybe their best. They have a balanced offense that passes for over 200 yards a game while they rush for almost 150 yards a game. They scored at least 31 points in their last 2 home wins and are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games after a bye week. Take Pittsburgh |

                          EAST MICHIGAN @ CENT. MICHIGAN The hard luck Eagles broke a 6 game losing streak with a 56-14 win their last game. during that streak, they lost 5 of the games by 5 points or less and 2 of the last 3 were in OT. They have a very good defense that allows 353 yards a game and is ranked 29th allowing 20.3 points a game. They have held 6 opponents to 24 points or less while the offense is led by QB Roback who has thrown for over 2300 yards and leads the 31st best passing attack in the country with 277 yards a game. Cent Michigan had to score 21 points in the 4th quarter in their last win over Western Michigan. They had a run of losing 4 of 5 games where they allowed at least 28 points while their last 4 wins have all been on the road. Their defense allows almost 400 yards a game and over 27 points a game. They had better not make mistakes against this Toledo team as they won't have an easy time catching up if they fall behind. Take Eastern Michigan |

                             TOLEDO @ OHIO Toledo has been the class of the MAC for years and they get a chance to seal the deal again. They are the only undefeated team in the conference at 5-0 with a very balanced offense that averages over 500 yards of offense a game. They are led by QB Woodside who has thrown for over 2600 yards and 19 TD's while averaging almost 300 passing yards a game good for 18th in the country. They also have a powerful running game that averages over 220 yards a game and have scored 21 TD's and average over 5 yards a carry. Put that all together and they rank 13th in the country with 38.8 points scored a game. they have a very capable defense that allows 370 yards a game and 24.4 points a game. Ohio is having a fine season with a 4-1 conference record which has them on top in the MAC East. Thy scored over 40 points a game in their current 3 game win streak but 2 of the wins were against the bottom of their division with a combined 4-15 record. They average over 400 yards a game and have a good rushing game ranked 22nd with 233 yards a game but will have their hands full with Toledo's run defense. They will need just about a perfect game on both sides of the ball to beat a Toledo team that has won 5 straight. Take Toledo |

                        AKRON @ MIAMI OHIO Akron has won 4 of their last 5 games and are 5-4 with 2 losses against powerhouses Iowa St and Penn St. Their offense is led by QB Woodson who has thrown for over 1700 yards along with 14 TD passes. In his last 5 games he has 10 TD passes while in his last game he threw 3 TD's and passed for a season high 286 yards in a win. Their running game has 1000 yards and scored 10 rushing TD's. Defensively they have held 3 of their last 4 opponents to 20 points or less while winning 2 road games. They are tied for the MAC East lead with a 4-1 conference record. Miami has lost 4 of their last 5 games while allowing at least 37 points in 3 of the losses and 3 of the 4 losses were conference games. They are led by QB Ragland who has thrown for 1398 yards and 12 TD's but he is injured and doubtful for the game. His backup Bahl has thrown 5 TD's and 4 picks in the 3 games he started but had 1 game without a TD pass. Neither QB is completing more than 54% of their passes but their running game gets 144 yards a game and they will have to probably rely on their ground game for offense. Akron has won the last 4 meetings with Miami. Take Akron |

                             VIRGINIA TECH @ MIAMI Virginia Tech brings their 10th ranked defense to Miami looking for their 4th straight win. They are 7-1 but have had the good fortune of playing 5 of those games at home. Their only loss was against Clemson and their great defense has held their opponents to 10 points or less in their last 3 wins. Other than their opening win against West Va,they really haven't played very good teams. As of today besides Clemson who they lost to, their best opponent was on the road at Boston College and they eked out a 23-10 win. Their last 2 wins were against Duke and North Carolina who are at the bottom of the ACC Coastal division and have a combined 1-11 record in conference. They have 3 other wins against non Power 5 schools, 2 of which have a combined 4-12 record and the 3rd is Delaware an FCS school. Miami is undefeated and have wins against Syracuse, Fl. St and Ga,Tech. They also have an excellent defense ranked 25th that allows just 18.7 points a game and very tough against the pass. The knock against them is that they struggled to win some of their games including last week against a very bad NC team. They are at home where they have lost only 3 games since 2015. This will be a tough place against a tough team to win. Take Miami |

11-04-17 | Oklahoma +3 v. Oklahoma State | 62-52 | Win | 100 | 102 h 10 m | Show | |
                          OKLAHOMA @ OKLAHOMA ST In perhaps 1 of the most exciting matchups every year the Sooners visit the Cowboys in a game known as Bedlam. Oklahoma's only loss was a 7 point defeat to Iowa St and they have won 14 straight road games. It all starts with Heisman candidate QB Mayfield who leads the 2nd ranked offense in the country with over 2600 yards passing and 23 TD's as well as having 4 rushing TD's. He also leads the country with an average of 11.51 yards per pass play and are ranked 6th averaging 42.9 points a game as well as 586 total yards a game. The Cowboys have a Heisman candidate of their own in QB Rudolph who is is ranked 2nd in the country with over 2800 yards passing and 22 TD's while also rushing for 7 TD's. Their offensive numbers are almost identical with the Sooners as they average 44.5 points and 569 yards a game while both teams allow about 25 points a game. Again defensively they are just about even with the Cowboys holding a slight advantage. The Sooners have beaten Ohio St for their biggest win while the Cowboys have a win against W, Va, Oklahoma has won 8 of the last 10 meetings while the visiting team has won 3 of the last 4. Mayfield is probably the better QB and the Sooners have played better teams this year. Take Oklahoma |

                              OHIO ST @ IOWA Ohio St is rolling along with 6 straight wins after losing their only game to Oklahoma. Their offense seems unstoppable as they haven't scored below 38 points during the win streak and in 3 games scored over 50. They came from behind in their last game to beat Penn St 39-38 but their other 5 wins were not against quality teams. They are a big favorite as they visit Iowa maybe 1 of the toughest places in college football for any team to win. The Hawkeyes have 3 losses and all were by 7 points or less while in their only home loss they played a very good Penn St team almost evenly until finally losing 19-17. As a matter of fact they haven't lost at home by double digits since the 2013 season. Their bend but don't break defense is the heart of this team and they are ranked 11th in points allowed giving up 17.4 a game. Their very capable offense is lead by QB Stanley who has passed for over 1700 yards and thrown 17 TD's and only 4 picks.. The Buckeyes are a very good team but this is a possible let down spot against a good team that plays its best football at home. Considering the size of the spread it will be a monumental task to cover. Take Iowa |

11-04-17 | Florida v. Missouri -3 | 16-45 | Win | 100 | 48 h 4 m | Show | |
                           FLORIDA @ MISSOURI Florida comes in with a mile long list of injuries starting with RB Malik Davis who leads the team in rushing. They have LB's and DL people all banged up and their coach isn't sure who will start at QB after the 42-7 beating they took at Georgia as Franks was replaced in the 4th quarter. It was their 3rd straight loss and they were held to 17 points or less in all 3 losses. Their offense is ranked 124th in the country and since they have been relying on their running game for most of their offensive yards it hurts to have their leading rusher out. They can't rely on their passing game ranked 110th in the country so what they have left is their banged up defense. That defense will try and stop Missouri who racked up 120 points in their last 2 games and is the 18th ranked offense in the country. They average 35.5 points a game which ranks them 28th and they pass for over 325 yards a game which is 12th in the country. I don't see the urgency in Florida's game considering everything going bad for the Gators while Missouri can hope for some revenge against a banged up Florida team that has won the last 2 meetings. Take Missouri |

                           UMASS @ MISS ST U Mass travels to face Miss St on the road and it is likely their starting QB Ford won't be playing because of injury. After losing their first 6 games they won 2 straight and their last win was against a good Appalachian St team in OT. Their 38th ranked offense will surely suffer without Ford under center. He was responsible for a very good passing game that averaged 296 yards a game good for 20th in the country. They lost all 3 road games they played and were held to 2 of their 3 lowest point totals of the year on the road. Their defense allows almost 200 yards a game running and passing while giving up over 30 points a game. They will have their hands full with Miss St who is ranked 13th in the country as they run for 260 yards a game while averaging 34 points scoring good for 34th. They can also play defense as in their current 3 game winning streak they held their opponents to 14 points or less. They are ranked 12th in total defense and are very good against the pass as they are ranked 4th. They allow just 17.4 points a game. They are 6th in the country allowing just 282 total yards a game. Their 2 losses this year were on the road against Georgia and Auburn while all 6 wins were by at least 25 points a game. Take Mississippi State |

As a 24 point favorite they were outgained 482 to 340 total yards and allowed Kansas to throw for 418 yards. In the last 3 weeks they have allowed 3 opponents to gain over 1400 yards. They are ranked 72nd in total defense as they allow over 400 yards a game with 282 of those yards passing which is 123rd in the country. They are just 103rd in total offense in the country but they do average over 31 points a game but have been held below that 2 of the last 3 games. Texas Tech is a powerhouse on offense as they are ranked 6th in the nation and average over 500 yards a game. Almost 350 of those are passing yards as they are ranked 6th. They had a very tough month as they lost 4 games to teams ranked in the top 15 in the country but their offense scored at least 27 points in 3 of those games. They have scored at least 34 points in 5 of their games and over 50 in 3 of those. It could be a long day for the Wildcats. Take Texas Tech |

They also average over 33 points a game while defensively held 3 opponents to 21 points or less but give up 28 points a game on average. Temple has lost 4 of their last 5 games and allowed at least 28 points in 3 of the losses. They are ranked 78th in total defense and allow 398 yards a game. They were held to 13 points or less in 2 of their most recent losses and their 3 wins were against Villanova, Massachusetts and E. Carolina who are not exactly powerhouses. They will be without their starting QB Marchi who has thrown for over 1600 yards and 9 TD's. They are ranked 94th in total offense while averaging less than 21 points a game. Take Navy |

                     CENTRAL MICHIGAN @ WESTERN MICHIGAN Central Michigan had a huge 56-9 win in their last game and that was 10 days ago. Their offense is very well balanced as they average 255 yards in the air and 137 yards a game on the ground, Their last 2 losses were against 2 very tough opponents, They were beaten by 7-1 Toledo in a rainstorm as QB Morris who has over 1900 yards passing and 16 TD's threw 2 picks and had just 182 yards which was his 2nd lowest total of the year. Their 2nd of their last 2 losses was at Boston College where their defense played a very good game and held the Eagles to 303 total yards but again he threw 3 picks. Those 2 losses accounted for 5 of his 11 picks for the year but he rebounded with 4 TD's last week without a pick. They also have a loss against Syracuse and a win against Kansas. Both teams are very closely ranked on defense as they are 2 yards apart on yards per game But the Broncos starting QB is out with a broken collar bone and his replacements have thrown a combined 6 passes this year. The Broncos played 3 of the bottom feeders in their conference in their last 4 games and struggled against Buffalo with a 71-68 win and against E. Michigan with a 20-17 OT win. Without their starting QB this is a tough spot for the Broncos to win. Take Central Michigan |

Tech is in 2nd place at 3-1 in conference behind Miami who is 4-0 while 4-1 in conference Clemson is right behind 4-0 NC State. This is a big game for both teams as they are both behind the leaders in their division. Tech has 2 losses and both were by just a point. Everyone knows about their offense which features the triple option led by QB Marshall who is the leading rusher with over 700 yards and 11 rushing TD's to go along with 5 that he has thrown. But their defense has been key for them as they held teams to 17 points or less in 4 of their wins while being ranked 20th in total defense in the country. as far as yards the teams are pretty evenly matched on defense but Clemson allows less than 14 points a game where Tech allows just over 20. Offensively Tech scores over 34 points a game while Clemson has been held below 30 points in 3 games and average just over 33 a game. Clemson is coming off a 27-24 loss to Syracuse and have been held below 30 points in 2 straight games. Tech is 6-0 ATS while Clemson hasn't covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and all 3 times they were double digit favorites. A big question is the health of Clemson QB Bryant who was knocked out of the Syracuse game with a concussion. Take Georgia Tech |

Of their 37 TD's scored, 28 have been on the ground. They are also 6-1 with their loss against another team that shut s down the run as Georgia beat them and held the Irish to less than 70 yards rushing.

This is why they are the 4th ranked team in the country. But they are on the road against 2nd place Iowa St who beat Oklahoma while scoring at least 31 points in 6 of their 7 games. Their defense has also picked up the pace as the Cyclones have won 3 straight games while the defense has allowed just 17 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games and 13 points total in their last 2. Offensively TCU scores 41 points a game while the Cyclones average 35 while TCU averages 65 more yards a game. TCU has 2 wins against ranked teams as they beat West Va. and Oklahoma St. While the Cyclones beat Oklahoma and Texas Tech on the road in 2 of their 3 straight wins. They have a very good passing game as they average 279 yards a game. There will be a little revenge factor as Iowa has lost the last 4 meetings with TCU. This is a huge game for the Cyclones who already have 2 losses so look for a big defensive stand. Take Iowa State |

                              GEORGIA VS FLORIDA The Bulldogs are sitting on top of the SEC East and are 7-0. They have the 10th best rushing offense and are 4th best as they allow just 12.6 points a game. They also have 1 of the better run defenses as they allow just 83 yards a game on the ground. Their running game has produced 21 rushing TD's and the team averages almost 6 yards a carry and have scored at least 41 points in 4 of their last 5 wins. The gators are 3-3 after losing their last 2 games by a total of 3 points. Their defense hasn't played that badly as they allowed 24 points or less in 3 straight games and 4 of 5 overall. They have rushed for at least 200 yards in each of their last 3 games and will need to get that established against this Georgia defense as they will need to open uop a passing game as well. The Gators have a balanced attack as they have over 1000 yards rushing and passing but only average 351 yards a game. Their defense might have to be flawless if they want to win but the spread is pretty big in this rivalry which the Gators have won the last 3 meetings and covered the spread the last 4. Take Florida |

10-28-17 | Virginia v. Pittsburgh -3 | 14-31 | Win | 100 | 56 h 54 m | Show | |
                        VIRGINIA @ PITTSBURGH Virginia was thumped last week by Boston College 41-10 as they allowed over 500 yards of offense with 275 yards on the ground. QB Benkert completed just 17 of 33 passes for 126 yards with 1 pick, In their prior game to North Carolina they barely survived a 20-14 win to possibly the worst team in the ACC. They gave up over 200 yards on the ground and Benkert again threw for less than 250 yards but threw 2 TD's. They have 3 of their 4 other wins against teams much worse than they are. Pittsburgh won for only the 2nd time all year but their running game picked up over 300 yards against a pretty solid Duke team. They have played a much more difficult schedule as 3 of their 5 losses were against Ranked teams. Their win last week was on the road at Duke and now they are back home, Virginia hasn't played well against the better teams and could be in for a rough one in Pittsburgh. Take Pittsburgh |

10-28-17 | Oklahoma State v. West Virginia +7.5 | 50-39 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 34 m | Show | |
                         OKLAHOMA ST @ WEST VIRGINIA The Cowboys averted a 2nd loss when they beat Texas in OT 13-10 last week. It was the 1st game they were held below 31 points. QB Rudolph leads the nation with 2650 passing yards and his 19 TD passes has him tied at 8th best. Texas put a loy of pressure on him and sacked him twice and had a lot of hurries. His 282 yards was the lowest total of the year and it was the 1st game he didn't throw a TD. West Va. has a 2 game winning streak after losing to TCU. They scored at least 38 points in all 5 of their wins but their defense needs to improve. They are led by QB Grier who is ranked 7th but leads the nation with 26 TD passes. Both teams can put points on the board but it's a lot harder on the road. This is a live dog. Take West Virginia |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Texas v. Baylor +9 | 38-7 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 52 m | Show | |
                          TEXAS @ BAYLOR Texas had their hearts ripped out in their last 2 games losing by 8 total points to Oklahoma and Oklahoma St at home. it was their chance to get in the top tier of the Big 12. Now they are on the road at Baylor and a Conference title in the rear view mirror. Their offense has been held to 24 points or less in 4 games and their last 2 wins were by 16 points total. They have injuries as their QB for 5 of their 7 games is out along with some dinged receivers. Baylor who hasn't won a game all year has very little pressure on them and in 3 of 4 home games have scored at least 36 points. In their most recent loss they charged back scoring 23 points in the 4th quarter but came up 2 points short against a very good West Va., team. This could be a spot to steal a win against a hurting Texas team who might have their minds elsewhere and it's almost a double digit spread and Texas has won by more than 10 just once. Take Baylor |

10-27-17 | Florida State -5 v. Boston College | 3-35 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
                         FLORIDA ST @ BOSTON COLLEGE Florida St has played one of the toughest schedules in the country so far. To make that even tougher they lost their starting QB in the 1st game of the year when they played Alabama, That was the first of 2 games they would lose to top 10 teams, while also losing to #14 Miami. They are still 1 of the most dangerous teams in the country as they also won 2 games on the road at Duke and Wake Forest both of whom are very tough at home. Their defense has kept them in games while the offense has sputtered at times. They are ranked 15th in total defense and allow 22.5 points a game while allowing 350 yards a game. Boston College has won 2 straight games and scored over 40 points in each game and both were on the road. As a matter of fact 3 of their 4 losses were at home and against good defenses. They lost to the Irish, Wake Forest and Va. Tech at home all of who are in the nation's top 40 in total defense. This is a big letdown spot for Eagles and another tough game against a very good defense. Take Florida State |

                               USC @ NOTRE DAME USC is 6-1 and have won 2 straight after losing their only game. They have a balanced offense that is ranked 9th overall and is led by QB Darnold who has thrown for over 2000 yards with 15 TD's but also has 9 interceptions. They beat Utah 28-27 last week and were lucky when Utah went for 2 after their last TD and were stopped. They were a 13.5 point favorite in the game and it was the 5th straight game they failed to cover the spread. They might have been looking ahead to this game with the Irish as the loser will have their playoff hopes put on hold. They are vulnerable defensively as they give up almost 400 yards a game which has them ranked 86th. The Irish have won 4 straight since losing their only game to Georgia 20-19. All 4 wins were by double digits and they covered the spread in each game. They have a powerful running game that gets over 300 yards a game while scoring 40 points. They are ranked 6th rushing and 14th scoring points while their 15th ranked defense allows less than 16 points a game. The home team has won the last 4 meetings as well as covering the spread. Take Notre Dame |

Last week they lost @ Boston College as a 20 point favorite while giving up 45 points to a team ranked 116th in scoring. They have failed to cover the spread in 5 straight games and in 6 of their 7 games played. Their biggest wins were over Murray and Kent St who were both 40+ point underdogs. They are ranked 83rd in total defense and allow an average of 30 points a game. Florida St is 2-3 but their 3 losses were against arguably 2 of the best teams in the ACC and Alabama who all have a combined 18-1 record. They have a great defense that is ranked 6th overall in the country as they allow less than 300 yards a game. They also have a bit of revenge on their minds after last years 63-20 beating @ Louisville. Take Florida State |

Texas Tech has 1 of the better offenses in the country as they average over 540 yards a game and score over 44 points. They had the bulk of their scoring against 3 teams. Eastern Washington an FCS school and Baylor and Kansas who are ranked in the bottom 10 in the country in scoring defense as they both allow over 40 points a game. They aren't very good on defense as they are ranked 93rd allowing over 430 yards a game and over 30 points. They lost 2 of their last 3 games and allowed over 40 points in each loss. Take Iowa State |

                              OKLAHOMA STATE @ TEXAS The Cowboys are 5-1 led by QB Rudolph with over 2300 yards and 19 TD passes. They scored over 40 points in all 5 of their wins but 3 were against teams ranked at the bottom in defense. Tulsa is ranked 122nd and Pitt is ranked 98th and Baylor is 121st while South Alabama allowed over 40 points to both Power 5 schools they played including the Cowboys. They failed to cover the spread against the 2 quality teams they played as they lost to TCU as a 9 point favorite and beat Texas Tech by 7 as a 10 point favorite. This might be their toughest game yet as Texas is home and is coming off a tough 5 point loss to Oklahoma last week. All 3 of Texas' losses were by 10 points or less and their defense has held 4 of their last 5 opponents below 30 points. This is a tough road game for the Cowboys and a win for Texas puts them at 3-1 in the conference and right in the hunt. Take Texas |

                             IDAHO @ MISSOURI Idaho is 2-4 and play in the lightly regarded Sun Belt Conference but have an excellent defense that is ranked 24th in the country. They give up just over 25 points a game and are extremely good against the pass being ranked 6th in the country. They have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and all as the underdog. Their last 2 losses were by 8 points total while against a very good Appalachian St team were leading after 3 quarters before losing by a FG. Missouri has lost 5 straight games after winning their opening game. They have allowed at least 35 points in their last 4 losses and were held to 14 points or less in 3 of them. Even the game they won they allowed 43 points to a bad Missouri St team. They are ranked 110th in the country overall defensively and allow over 42 points a game which is 4th worst in the country at 127th. They are a 2 TD favorite over a team that can play defense and really has nothing to get excited about in this game. Take Idaho |

But 13 of his TD passes were in 2 games. He threw 7 TD passes against Connecticut and threw 6 against UCLA. Both teams are at the bottom in the nation defensively as UCLA is ranked 119th and allow 523 yards a game and Connecticut is ranked 125th and allow 559 yards a game.

They are ranked 102nd in total defense as they allow over 200 yards a game passing and rushing. Houston is 4-2 and they had an ugly loss last week at Tulsa 45-17 as they blew a 10-7 halftime lead and committed 3 TO's that led to 21 points. Their other loss was 27-20 to Texas Tech.

Their defense also shut down SMU in a 35-22 win as the Mustangs averaged over 43 points a game.Their offense gets over 420 yards a game and they give up 21 points a game on defense. This is a good spot for Houston to grab a win as they have beaten Memphis 6 of their last 7 meetings. They have won 9 of their last 10 home games including wins against Oklahoma and Louisville last season. Take Houston |

                              TEXAS TECH @ WEST VIRGINIA Texas Tech is 4-1 and is 1 of the better offenses in the country. They are a great passing team and average 386 yards in the air which is 3rd best in the country and score 46.8 points a game which is tied for 1st. As good an offense as they have, they struggle inside the Red Zone scoring just 76% of the time which is 2nd worst in the Big 12. They aren't as balanced as West Va and rush for only 163 yards a game. They have lost the last 3 meetings with West Va. The Mountaineers are also an excellent offensive team as they score 44 points a game while also being much more balanced as they pass for 364 yards a game and rush for 213 yards a game. Texas Tech might be a little worse on defense as they give up 299 yards through the air and don't run the ball as well as West Va. This is a tough place for any team to win as the Mountaineers won 7 of 8 home games last season. Take West Virginia |

10-13-17 | Clemson v. Syracuse +23 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 28 h 22 m | Show | |
                               CLEMSON @ SYRACUSE The Tigers are 6-0 and looking to return to the Championship game they won last year. They beat Wake Forest 28-14 last week as a 21 point favorite. It was the 2nd straight week they won by 14 points and the 3rd straight week they were held below their scoring average of 35 points a game. They are ranked 13th in total offense but they had over 600 yards of offense in their big win over Louisville and almost 700 yards in a rout against Kent St which has their stats looking better than they are. They averaged less than 400 yards of offense in their other 4 games. Their strength is defense as they held 5 opponents to 17 points or less. They take on Syracuse who is 3-3 with 2 of their losses on the road against North Carolina St and LSU. QB Dungey leads the offense that throws for 325 yards a game which is 13th best in the country while scoring 32 points a game. Their defense allows 24 points a game which is an improvement over the 38 points allowed last year. Dungey is the 8th ranked passing yards leader in the country while they rush for over 141 yards a game. Syracuse should be able to keep this close as Clemson might be looking ahead with games against Ga Tech, NC St and Fla. St coming up and a QB who was injured last week. Expect a conservative game from Clemson. The Orange are home and this is a big spread. Take Syracuse |

They were held to 7 points in a 28-7 loss to TCU and gave up 50 points to Texas A&M. Their 2 wins were against 47 point underdog FAMU and 18 point underdog New Mexico St. This will be their 1st road game and they will face So Carolina who opened the season with 2 impressive road wins against No Carolina St and Missouri. One of their 2 losses was last week at Texas A&M but they blew a 7 point lead and let the Aggies score 14 points in the 4th quarter to squeak out a 7 point win. They have to improve their running game if they want to beat the big dogs but Arkansas gives up over 200 yards a game passing and over 140 yards rushing. Home field and the 1st road game for Arkansas sounds like a win for So Carolina. Take South Carolina |
