On average, the Cornhuskers are scoring 26 points per game on 409 yards of offense while allowing 29 points on 406 yards.

Through eight games, the New Mexico State Aggies (0-8) are winless. Saturday night, they’ll take on the Ole Miss Rebels (3-6) in Mississippi. The over/under is set at 64 points.

It was easy to give New Mexico State a pass after starting off the season 0-2 after having to play #23 Washington State and #2 Alabama, but they’ve never turned it around. The Aggies have allowed at least 41 points in five of their eight games.

On average, New Mexico State is scoring 18 points per game on 345 yards of offense while allowing 42 points per game on 478 yards.

ECU is one of the weakest teams in the American Athletic Conference, made apparent by their current streak of four-straight losses. It’s been a tough schedule for the Pirates lately, having to face Temple, UCF, and #17 Cincinnati, but they should have performed better than their 45-20 performance against USF.

On average, ECU is scoring 24 points per game on 402 yards of offense while allowing 30 points per game on 422 yards.

Over their last three games, the Pirates have allowed at least 41 points in each contest. Of ECU’s seven defeats, opponents have failed to reach at least 34 points on just one occasion.

On average, the Seminoles are scoring 27 points per game on 393 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 434 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Temple/South Florida under50 -109

After a 5-1 start, the Temple Owls (5-3) are now desperate to stay in the mix at the top of the American Athletic Conference. Thursday night, they’ll have a chance to improve their record with a conference game against the South Florida Bulls (4-4). The over/under is set at 50 points.

Temple was riding high after a 30-28 win over #23 Memphis, but two straight losses to #19 SMU and UCF brought the Owls back down to earth. In each of those two defeats, Temple scored just 21 points.

50* Powerhouse Play on Oregon -4 -109

The #7 Oregon Ducks (7-1) are the Pac-12’s best chance of having a representative in the College Football Playoff. The Ducks will face one of their toughest tasks of the season when they go on the road to take on the USC Trojans (5-3) Saturday evening.

Oregon’s lone loss of the season came on a neutral site game to open the year when they allowed #16 Auburn to earn a comeback victory. Since then, the Ducks haven’t lost. Oregon recently survived two tough games against #25 Washington and then Washington State.

On average, the Ducks are scoring 36 points per game on 466 yards of offense while allowing 15 points per game on 308 yards.

Quarterback Justin Herbert has been getting plenty of NFL draft chatter, and for good reason. On the year, Herbert has thrown for 2,104 yards with 21 touchdowns and just one interception while completing 68.3% of his passes.

USC has trudged through a difficult schedule that’s included a stretch of games against #10 Utah, #17 Washington, and #10 Notre Dame. To get to 5-3, the Trojans recently took down both Arizona and Colorado.

On average, the Trojans are scoring 31 points per game on 442 yards of offense while allowing 25 points per game on 429 yards.

A trio of receivers has accounted for 16 of USC’s touchdowns so far this year. Michael Pittman Jr. has racked up 755 receiving yards and seven touchdowns to lead the group.

50* Powerhouse Play on Oregon State/Arizona over70½ -110

Both the Oregon State Beavers (3-4) and the Arizona Wildcats (4-4) have been involved in some of the highest-scoring contests of the college football season. Saturday night, these two squads will go head to head. The over/under is set at 70.5 points.

An outlier in Oregon State’s season was their most recent victory, which was a 21-17 win over California. In the two games prior, the Beavers allowed 52 points to #15 Utah and defeated UCLA in a game that had a combined 79 points scored.

On average, the Beavers are scoring 30 points per game on 411 yards of offense while allowing 32 points per game on 426 yards.

For the offense-first Beavers, quarterback Jake Luton spearheads the team. On the season, Luton has thrown for 1,602 yards with 16 touchdowns and only a single interception.

In three straight losses to Washington, USC, and Stanford, the Wildcats have allowed 41 points or more. Their most recent game was the loss to the Cardinal, in which a total of 72 points were scored.

On average, the Wildcats are scoring 32 points per game on 492 yards of offense while allowing 35 points per game on 469 yards.

Offensively, Arizona does just about everything by committee. In the running game, five different players have at least 197 rushing yards. In the passing game, five different receivers have racked up at least 200 yards, three of which have three touchdowns.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on UNLV/Colorado State over64½ -110

Both the UNLV Rebels (2-6) and Colorado State Rams (3-5) are below .500. Saturday, these two squads will face off against one another. The over/under is set at 64.5 points.

UNLV is coming off two straight losses to Fresno State and San Diego State, both of which came after a 34-10 victory over Vanderbilt. The Rebels haven’t been able to limit opposing offenses with much success. For example, Wyoming was able to put up 53 on UNLV.

On average, UNLV is scoring 24 points per game on 375 yards of offense while allowing 34 points per game on 426 yards.

With 793 yards and seven touchdowns, running back Charles Williams heads up the UNLV ground game. Receiver Randal Grimes is the team’s biggest offensive threat with 474 yards and five touchdowns through the air.

Colorado State haven’t racked up many wins throughout the season, but they’re now entering this week after back-to-back victories over New Mexico and Fresno State. Over the past two games, the Rams have scored a combined 76 points.

On average, the Rams are scoring 31 points per game on 473 yards of offense while allowing 34 points per game on 396 yards.

While two quarterbacks have gotten significant time for Colorado State, they’ve both had success throwing to Warren Jackson and Dante Wright. Jackson has hauled in 49 passes for 719 yards and six touchdowns, and Wright has earned 615 yards and three touchdowns of his own.

50* Powerhouse Play on Rutgers/Illinois over49 -109

Two bottom-half teams of the Big Ten Conference will face off Saturday afternoon when the Illinois Fighting Illini (4-4) host the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (2-6). The over/under is set at 49 points.

Thus far, the Scarlet Knights have book-ended their season with a pair of wins filled with a six-game losing streak. Most recently, Rutgers beat up on Liberty to win 44-34. In their other win on the season, Rutgers scored 48 against UMass.

On average, the Scarlet Knights are scoring 15 points per game on 281 yards of offense while allowing 37 points per game on 444 yards.

Rutgers quarterback Johnny Langan had a big day in the win over Liberty. In addition to 192 yards and two touchdowns through the air, Langan ran for 118 yards and another TD.

Illinois is coming off two-straight victories, the most impressive of which was a one-point win over #6 Wisconsin. In the past two games, the Fighting Illini put up 24 points against better defenses than they’ll be facing this Saturday.

On average, the Fighting Illini are scoring 29 points per game on 326 yards of offense while allowing 27 points per game on 412 yards.

Reggie Corbin and Dre Brown lead the Illinois rushing attack. Corbin has 526 yards and five touchdowns, and Brown has added another 411 yards and two touchdowns.

50* Powerhouse Play on Nebraska/Purdue over57 -110

Scott Frost’s second year in Nebraska hasn’t gone exactly according to plan, but he has a chance to get his team over .500 on Saturday when the Nebraska Cornhuskers (4-4) go on the road to take on the Purdue Boilermakers (2-6). The over/under is set at 57 points.

After a bounce-back 13-10 win over Northwestern, Nebraska dropped back-to-back games against Minnesota and Indiana. Although the Cornhuskers lost by a touchdown in that contest against Indiana, they managed to put up 31 points.

On average, Nebraska is scoring 26 points per game on 413 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 400 yards.

Nebraska should have starting quarterback Adrian Martinez back on the field after missing time due to injury. On the season, Martinez has thrown for 1,245 yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions.

After a big win over Maryland a few weeks ago, Purdue has dropped two straight to #23 Iowa and Illinois. If Rondale Moore is able to play meaningful minutes at the running back position, the Boilermakers will like their chances to score points against a vulnerable Nebraska defense.

On average, the Boilermakers are scoring 24 points per game on 369 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 412 yards.

50* Powerhouse Play on Buffalo/Eastern Michigan under50½ -110

A noon kickoff will pit two identical records against each other as the Eastern Michigan Eagles (4-4) play host to the Buffalo Bulls (4-4). The over/under is set at 50.5 points.

After starting the season with a record of 2-4, the Bulls have gained some momentum with wins over Akron and Central Michigan. Defensively, Buffalo has been very good. In five of their eight games, the Bulls have held their opponent to 22 points or fewer.

On average, the Bulls are scoring 26 points per game on 355 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 304 yards.

A strong Buffalo defense that earned five turnovers against Central Michigan will aim to once again assist an offense that hasn’t been very explosive. The Bulls only have one receiver with more than 162 yards.

Eastern Michigan started the year strong but has most recently lost three of its last four games. In each of their last two games, the Eagles scored 34 points.

On average, Eastern Michigan is scoring 28 points per game on 398 yards of offense while allowing 32 points per game on 443 yards.

While the Bulls struggle in the passing game, the Eagles haven’t offered much by way of a running game. Only Shaq Vann, who’s rushed for 318 yards and two touchdowns, has more than 191 rushing yards for Eastern Michigan.

50* Powerhouse Play on Northern Illinois/Central Michigan under50½ -110

The Central Michigan Chippewas (5-4) are set to host a team sitting below them in the Mid-American Conference as the Northern Illinois Huskies (3-5) come to town. The over/under is set at 50.5 points.

Northern Illinois is coming off a 49-0 blowout victory, but it came against lowly Akron, who has yet to win a game through eight contests. Prior to the Akron game, the Huskies fell to Miami of Ohio in a 27-24 matchup.

On average, Northern Illinois is scoring 25 points per game on 377 yards of offense while allowing 25 points per game on 342 yards.

Running back Tre Harbison has led the Huskies in rushing in each of the past four games. On the season, Harbison has rushed for 724 yards and seven touchdowns. Quarterback Marcus Childers threw for three touchdowns against Akron, but he managed just 71 passing yards in the game.

Before last week’s loss to Buffalo, the Chippewas won three straight against Eastern Michigan, New Mexico State, and Bowling Green. Central Michigan held opponents to 28 points or fewer throughout that three-game winning streak.

On average, the Chippewas are scoring 28 points per game on 419 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 365 yards.

Quinten Dormady leads the Central Michigan offense from the quarterback position. On the year, Dormady has thrown for 1,022 yards, eight touchdowns, and four interceptions.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Navy/Connecticut under55 -115

Only a loss to Memphis has kept the Navy Midshipmen (6-1) from a flawless record through seven games. Tonight, Navy will head into Connecticut to take on the Huskies (2-6) of UConn. The over/under is set at 55 points.

Navy has ripped off four straight wins and now aims for a fifth against a struggling Huskies squad. On their current winning streak, the Midshipmen have scored at least 34 points in every game, and have held their opponent to 25 points or fewer in three of the four.

On average, the Midshipmen are scoring 38 points per game on 440 yards of offense while allowing 19 points per game on 310 yards.

With four touchdowns and three picks, quarterback Malcolm Perry hasn’t been great in the passing game. However, he’s been outstanding in the running game with a team-leading 934 yards and 14 touchdowns.

UConn registered one of the team’s two wins in their last contest, which came against UMass. Before that 56-35 win, the Huskies had failed to score more than 24 points in any game this year.

On average, the Huskies are scoring 22 points per game on 344 yards of offense while allowing 38 points per game on 429 yards.

From the running back position, Kevin Mensah is UConn’s biggest threat. On 150 carries, Mensah has rushed for 696 yards and nine touchdowns.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on West Virginia/Baylor over56 -110

The well-rested #12 Baylor Bears (7-0) will be aiming to extend their lead in the Big 12 this evening when they host the West Virginia Mountaineers (3-4). The over/under is set at 56 points.

Let’s start with the Mountaineers, who’ve lost three straight to tough competition. Although West Virginia only scored 14 points in each of their games against #5 Oklahoma and Iowa State, they managed to put up 31 points against a strong #11 Texas team.

On average, the Mountaineers are scoring 23 points per game on 314 yards of offense while allowing 33 points per game on 407 yards.

West Virginia’s biggest weakness is the running game. With running backs Kennedy McCoy and Leddie Brown leading the charge, the Mountaineers don’t have a single rusher over 200 yards. However, quarterback Austin Kendall has thrown for 1,429 yards and 11 TDs with seven picks.

The Baylor Bears coming to town must be a scary sight for a West Virginia team that’s allowing 33 points a game. Thus far, the high-flying Baylor offense has been held to less than 31 points just twice this season. Although they haven’t played a ranked team, the Bears have beaten every team that’s lined up in front of them this year.

On average, Baylor is scoring 39 points per game on 484 yards of offense while allowing 19 points per game on 358 yards.

Throwing to a pair of 500-yard receivers, quarterback Charlie Brewer has been a beast all season. By completing 66.3% of his passes, Brewer has thrown for 1,866 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions.

50* Powerhouse Play on Notre Dame/Michigan under52 -110

Saturday’s premier matchup figures to be the #8 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (5-1) going into the Big House to take on the #19 Michigan Wolverines (5-2). The over/under is set at 52 points.

Since Notre Dame’s loss to #3 Georgia, the Irish have ripped off three straight victories. Most recently, Notre Dame took down USC by a score of 30-27.

On average, the Fighting Irish are scoring 39 points per game on 450 yards of offense, but they’ve only hit that point total once in the past four games. Defensively, Notre Dame is allowing just 17 points per game on 346 yards.

Completing 63.2% of his passes, Ian Book has been very good for the Fighting Irish at quarterback. On the season, Book has thrown for 1,419 yards while tossing 14 touchdowns and two interceptions. Averaging seven yards per carry, running back Tony Jones Jr. has rushed for 557 yards and four TDs.

Michigan has five wins in seven games, but they’ve failed to beat the toughest competition on the schedule. Before last week’s 28-21 loss to #7 Penn State, the Wolverines lost to #13 Wisconsin by a score of 35-14.

On average, the Wolverines are scoring 29 points per game on 391 yards of offense while allowing 19 points on 283 yards.

At quarterback, Shea Patterson leads the Michigan offense. Through seven games, Patterson has thrown for 1,522 yards, nine touchdowns, and four picks.

50* Powerhouse Play on Missouri/Kentucky under45 -110

The Missouri Tigers (5-2) threw away what’s been a great season with a 21-14 loss at the hands of Vanderbilt last week. Saturday night, Missouri will try to get back on track on the road against the Kentucky Wildcats (3-4). The over/under is set at 45 points.

Although the Tigers have won five of their seven games, all five have come at home while their two losses have been on the road. Missouri’s 14-point dud against Vanderbilt showed a weak spot in an otherwise daunting passing attack.

On average, the Tigers are scoring 35 points per game on 448 yards of offense while allowing 17 points on 270 yards.

In addition to a strong defense, Missouri is led by a quarterback in Kelly Bryant who’s thrown for 1,715 yards, 13 touchdowns, and five interceptions. However, Bryant is coming off his worst game of the season in which he threw for just 140 yards.

Kentucky is coming off a loss, but they held #10 Georgia to just 21 points of offense in that contest. Before the Georgia game, the Wildcats won a 24-20 game over Arkansas.

On average, the Wildcats are scoring 20 points per game on 354 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 364 yards.

Kentucky hasn’t been very explosive on offense throughout the season. The team’s leading receiver, Lynn Bowden Jr., has only 348 yards and one touchdown.

50* Powerhouse Play on Arkansas/Alabama under56½ -110

It hardly seems fair that the Arkansas Razorbacks (2-5) have to go into Tuscaloosa to take on the #1 Alabama Crimson Tide (7-0), yet these two squads will go head to head Saturday. The over/under is set at 56.5 points.

The Razorbacks are entering this contest on the back of a four-game losing streak, including a 31-24 loss to San Jose State. Most recently, Arkansas managed just 10 points against #11 Auburn.

On average, the Razorbacks are scoring 25 points per game on 385 yards of offense while allowing 31 points on 412 yards.

Ben Hicks has been at the helm for this Arkansas offense over the past three game and has struggled to get the offense rolling. Completing just 50.4% of his passes, the Razorbacks quarterback has thrown for 692 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

Alabama has yet to play some of their toughest opponents of the season, but they’ve beaten everyone that’s lined up in front of them. Most recently, the Crimson Tide defeated Tennessee 35-13.

On average, the Crimson Tide are scoring 49 points per game on 513 yards of offense while allowing 16 points per game on 321 yards.

The Alabama offense will get the opportunity to prove themselves as a unit rather than a quarterback-dependent team with starter Tua Tagovailoa out injured. Sophomore Mac Jones will start at quarterback in his place.

Although Alabama is still a big favorite to win this contest, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Crimson Tide offense take a step back.

50* Powerhouse Play on New Mexico +10 -110

With Saturday’s game versus the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (4-3), the New Mexico Lobos (2-5) will try to begin digging themselves out of the basement of the Mountain West Conference.

Hawaii’s strong first half of the season came to a grinding halt with two straight losses to #14 Boise State and Air Force. In both games, the Rainbow Warriors gave up at least 56 points.

On average, the Rainbow Warriors are scoring 35 points per game on 475 yards of offense while allowing 36 points per game on 428 yards.

A dynamic Hawaii passing attack is led by quarterback Cole McDonald, who’s thrown for 2,284 yards with 23 touchdowns and 10 picks. The rushing attack is far inferior, with running back Miles Reed leading the team with just 273 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

New Mexico has lost four straight since the end of September while scoring 10 points in two of the contests and 21 points in the other two. On average, the Lobos are scoring 24 points per game on 417 yards of offense while allowing 37 points per game on 494 yards.

The New Mexico offense features a pair of solid running backs. Averaging 5.1 yards per carry, Ahmari Davis leads the team with 543 yards and four touchdowns. Averaging 6.3 yards per carry, Bryson Carroll has added another 444 yards and two touchdowns.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Ohio/Ball State under62 -110

A Mid-American Conference showdown pits the Ohio Bobcats (3-4) against the Ball State Cardinals (4-3). The over/under for this matchup is 62 points.

Ohio has won two of its last three games, the most impressive of which was a 21-20 overtime victory against Buffalo. On average, the Bobcats are scoring 30 points per game on 406 yards while allowing 31 points per game on 460 yards.

Coming off his highest-yardage game of the year, quarterback Nathan Rourke has thrown for 1,612 yards with 10 touchdowns and four interceptions. Rourke also happens to lead the team in rushing with 409 yards and six touchdowns.

Shane Hooks is Ohio’s most explosive receiver. Averaging 20.7 yards per reception, Hooks has caught 17 balls for 352 yards and three TDs.

Ball State has finally earned some momentum with three straight wins over Northern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, and Toledo. In each victory, the Cardinals held their opponents to a maximum of 23 points.

On average, Ball State is scoring 35 points per game on 454 yards of offense while allowing 28 points per game on 391 yards.

Quarterback Drew Plitt has thrown for 1,868 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions. Meanwhile, running back Caleb Huntley leads the offense with 711 yards and five touchdowns.

50* Powerhouse Play on Miami-FL/Pittsburgh under44 -110

It’s been a rough first year for head coach Manny Diaz, who recently said his Miami Hurricanes (3-4) team is in a rebuild. Saturday, Miami will be on the road to take on the Pitt Panthers (5-2). The over/under is set at 44 points.

Miami recently followed up a strong win over #20 Virginia with a 28-21 overtime loss to Georgia Tech. Offense has been the issue for the Hurricanes, who haven’t scored more than 21 in three of their last four games.

On average, the Hurricanes are scoring 28 points on 409 yards of offense while allowing 20 points on 298 yards.

N’Kosi Perry has been relatively good at quarterback since taking over. Completing 59.8% of his passes, Perry has thrown for 871 yards with eight touchdowns and one pick so far.

Pittsburgh finds itself on a four-game winning streak that started with a win over #15 UCF. The Panthers have allowed 20 points or fewer in two of their last three games.

On average, the Pitt Panthers are scoring 22 points per game on 390 yards of offense while allowing 22 points per game on 302 yards.

Without a terribly productive rushing attack, quarterback Kenny Pickett leads the offense with 1,602 yards, eight touchdowns, and four picks.

50* Powerhouse Play on Illinois/Purdue under58½ -110

In a Big Ten matchup, the Purdue Boilermakers (2-5) will try to pull level with the Illinois Fighting Illini (3-4) on Saturday afternoon. The over/under is set at 58.5 points.

It’s largely been a season to forget for Illinois, but last week marked a milestone victory for Lovie Smith’s squad as they upset #6 Wisconsin by a single point at home. Despite that big win, the Fighting Illini haven’t scored more than 25 in any of their past three contests.

On average, the Fighting Illini are scoring 30 points per game on 334 yards while allowing 30 points per game on 432 yards.

Quarterback Brandon Peters, who threw for 174 yards against Wisconsin, has completed just 56.1% of his passes for 971 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions on the season.

A poor Purdue team most recently fell to #23 Iowa by a score of 26-20. On average, the Boilermakers are scoring 26 points per game on 384 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 432 yards.

The running game has been virtually non-existent for Purdue. Running back King Doerue leads the team with just 252 yards and three touchdowns.

50* Powerhouse Play on Liberty/Rutgers under45 -110

A glance at the standings of independent college football teams shows the Liberty Flames (5-2) ahead of Notre Dame. Saturday, the Flames will go on the road to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (1-6). The over/under is set at 45 points.

After dropping their first two games of the season, Liberty has won five straight against the likes of Buffalo and New Mexico State.

On average, the Flames are scoring 30 points per game on 408 yards of offense while allowing 24 points per game on 438 yards.

At quarterback, Stephen Calvert leads the Liberty attack with 1,920 yards, 15 touchdowns, and three interceptions. Antonio Gandy-Golden has been on the receiving end of 43 of Calvert’s passes, racking up 877 yards and five TDs.

Rutgers is at the bottom of the Big Ten barrel and has been absolutely dreadful on offense. In their past four games, all of which have been losses, the Scarlet Knights have scored a combined 14 points. Rutgers was shut out in two of those games.

On average, the Scarlet Knights are scoring 11 points per game on 255 yards of offense while allowing 37 points per game on 449 yards.

A bad Rutgers offense is led by Isaih Pacheco, who’s rushed for 434 yards and four touchdowns in seven games.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on USC/Colorado over63 -109

Both having played seven games, the USC Trojans (4-3) and Colorado Buffaloes (3-4) have mirrored records, including in Pac-12 play, where USC has a 3-1 record. When they play under the lights on Friday night in Colorado, the over/under will be set at 63 points.

USC recently faced its toughest stretch of the season when they faced #10 Utah, #17 Washington, and #9 Notre Dame in three straight games. Although the Trojans only managed one win in that period, they followed it up with last week’s 41-14 domination of Arizona.

On average, the Trojans are scoring 31 points per game on 431 yards of offense while allowing 24 points per game on 416 yards.

Kedon Slovis, who’s back under center for USC, has thrown for 1,219 yards, nine touchdowns, and four interceptions this year. His two biggest weapons are Michael Pittman Jr., who’s caught 43 balls for 599 yards and five touchdowns, and Tyler Vaughns, who’s reeled in 42 passes for 534 yards and four touchdowns.

The Buffaloes are coming off three straight losses, one of which was a 45-3 pounding by #13 Oregon. On average, Colorado is scoring 27 points per game on 407 yards of offense while allowing 35 points per game on 482 yards.

USC will be chomping at the bit to face a Colorado defense that’s allowed at least 31 points in every game this season.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Houston +14½ -110

D’Eriq King and the Houston Cougars (3-4) were supposed to be a top AAC team this year. Instead, it’s the undefeated #16 SMU Mustangs who lead the conference. Tonight, these two teams face off in Houston.

Ever since opening the season with a 37-30 win over Arkansas State, SMU has scored at least 41 points in every single contest. That includes a win over #25 TCU and a 45-21 performance against a good Temple team.

On average, the Mustangs are scoring 44 points per game on 521 yards of offense while allowing 27 points per game on 370 yards.

Quarterback Shane Buechele leads the SMU offense. Completing 64.8% of his passes, Buechele has thrown for 2,122 yards with 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. Buechele is coming off a huge game against Temple in which he threw for 457 yards with six TDs and one pick.

The Cougars followed up a loss to #25 Cincinnati with a 24-17 win over UConn. On average, Houston is scoring 31 points per game on 393 yards of offense while allowing 31 points per game on 470 yards.

Houston features a running game with a pair of backs that have scored three touchdowns each. Kyle Porter leads the team with 448 yards, and Patrick Carr has racked up 301 yards of his own.

Although Houston doesn’t have the stingiest defense in the nation, giving 14.5 points to an offense that averages 31 is a dangerous affair.

50* Powerhouse Play on Air Force/Hawaii over66 -110

Identical records will be put on the line when the Air Force Falcons (4-2) go on the road to take on the Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors (4-2) on Saturday night. The over/under is set at 66 points.

Air Force is coming off one of their better offensive performances of the season, defeating Fresno State by a score of 43-24. On average, Air Force is scoring 34 points per game on 424 yards of offense while allowing 24 points per game on 310 yards.

The Air Force triple option is led by quarterback Donald Hammond III, who’s thrown for 655 yards, five touchdowns, and three picks in addition to his 249 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. The Falcons have two 400-yard rushers in Taven Birdow and Kadin Remsberg.

Most recently, the Rainbow Warriors followed up a 54-3 win over Nevada with a 59-37 loss to #14 Boise State. Hawai’i has scored 35 or more in each of their past three games.

On average, the Rainbow Warriors are scoring 37 points per game on 473 yards of offense while allowing 33 points on 412 yards.

No stranger to high-scoring affairs and airing it out, Hawai’i quarterback Cole McDonald is on pace for a huge year. With a 66.7% completion percentage, McDonald has thrown for 1,880 yards, 20 touchdowns, and nine picks.

50* Powerhouse Play on Boise State/BYU over45 -110

The BYU Cougars (2-4) will have their hands full this weekend as the undefeated #14 Boise State Broncos (6-0) come to town. The over/under is set at 45 points.

Boise State hasn’t lost a single game thus far, and has scored at least 30 points in all but one game this year. BYU’s biggest issue is that the Broncos are coming off their highest-scoring game of the season after putting up 59 points on Hawai’i.

On average, the Broncos are scoring 37 points per game on 488 yards of offense while allowing 20 points per game on 327 yards.

Between John Hightower and Khalil Shakir, the Broncos have a pair of 400-yard receivers for quarterback Hank Bachmeier to throw to. On the season, Bachmeier has thrown for 1,547 yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions.

After taking down #24 USC, BYU has lost three straight games to #22 Washington, Toledo, and USF. In each of those three losses, the Cougars have allowed at least 27 points to their opponent.

On average, the Cougars are scoring 22 points per game on 386 yards of offense while allowing 31 points per game on 413 yards.

BYU quarterback Zach Wilson has thrown for 1,312 yards with five touchdowns and four picks.

50* Powerhouse Play on Kentucky/Georgia under47 -110

We’ll find out how rattled the #10 Georgia Bulldogs (5-1) are after their first loss of the season when they host the Kentucky Wildcats (3-3) on Saturday. The over/under is set at 47 points.

In the world of college football, the Wildcats are generally involved in low-scoring games. None of Kentucky’s last four games have gone over 50 total points, and the Wildcats haven’t scored more than 24 in any of them.

On average, the Wildcats are scoring 24 points per game on 384 yards of offense while allowing 24 points per game on 380 yards.

After six games, Kentucky doesn’t have a running back over 420 yards or a receiver over 350 yards. However, the Wildcats offer a perfectly balanced offense that averages 192 rushing yards and 192 net passing yards per game.

Before last weekend, Georgia was considered one of the best teams in the nation with a clear path to the College Football Playoff. Then, the Bulldogs scored just 17 against South Carolina.

On average, Georgia is scoring 39 points on 504 yards of offense while allowing 12 points per game on 281 yards.

The 20 points Georgia gave up to South Carolina is the most any team has put on the Bulldogs all season long. In addition to a couple of 17-point performances, other Georgia opponents have scored 14, six, and zero points in the remaining games.

50* Powerhouse Play on Baylor/Oklahoma State over67½ -110

The Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-2) will face their third ranked opponent in four games when they host the undefeated #19 Baylor Bears (6-0) on Saturday. The over/under is set at 67.5 points.

Although the Bears remained unscathed, it took two overtimes for them to earn a three-point victory over Texas Tech last week. Over the past two weeks, Baylor has scored a combined 64 points.

On average, the Bears are scoring 38 points on 475 yards of offense while allowing 18 points per game on 340 yards.

With 1,554 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three picks, quarterback Charlie Brewer leads the Baylor attack. Receiver Denzel Mimz, who has 32 catches for 503 yards and five touchdowns, is Brewer’s favorite target.

Coming off a 45-35 loss to Texas Tech, Oklahoma State has the benefit of an extra week of preparation with a bye last week. On average, the Cowboys are scoring 40 points per game on 528 yards of offense while allowing 28 points per game on 415 yards.

This Oklahoma State offense is powered by Chuba Hubbard. The Cowboys running back has already rushed for 1,094 yards and 13 touchdowns through six games of the season.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Temple/SMU over59 -110

Two of the top teams in the American Athletic Conference are set to face off Saturday when the Temple Owls (5-1) take on the #19 SMU Mustangs (6-0). The over/under is set at 59 points.

Only a single loss to Buffalo has kept the Owls from a perfect season through six games. With wins over #21 Maryland and #23 Memphis, Temple can now boast two wins over ranked teams. They’ll aim for a third on Saturday.

On average, the Owls are scoring 30 points per game on 446 yards of offense while allowing 19 points per game on 325 yards.

Quarterback Anthony Russo has led Temple to five victories on his 1,502 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Running back Re’Mahn Davis has rushed for 575 yards and four touchdowns.

Apart from a 37-30 victory to open the season, SMU has scored at least 41 points in every game this year. The Mustangs now enter this contest after a bye week that followed their comeback win over Tulsa a couple of weeks ago.

On average, the Mustangs are scoring 44 points per game on 498 yards of offense while allowing 28 points per game on 386 yards.

The balanced SMU attack is led by quarterback Shane Buechele, who’s thrown for 1,665 yards, 12 touchdowns, and five picks. Buechele has two 500-yard receivers in Reggie Roberson Jr. and James Proche.

50* Powerhouse Play on South Florida/Navy under52 -110

With only a single loss on the record, the Navy Midshipmen (4-1) have gotten off to a great first half of the season. Saturday, they’ll host the South Florida Bulls (3-3) in an American Athletic Conference contest. The over/under is set at 52 points.

South Florida has gotten it going over the past couple of weeks with wins over UConn and BYU. On average, the Bulls are scoring 27 points per game on 339 yards of offense while allowing 29 points on 383 yards.

Coming off a 150-yard performance a week ago, running back Jordan Cronkrite will aim for another big game. On the season, Cronkrite has 382 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Jordan McCloud is the team’s second-leading rusher with 167 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.

With two straight wins over Air Force and Tulsa, Navy has improved to 4-1 with their only loss coming against a good Memphis team. On average, Navy is scoring 38 points per game on 434 yards of offense while allowing 19 points per game on 286 yards.

In addition to quarterback Malcolm Perry’s 489 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions through the air, he’s the team’s leading rusher with 604 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.

With good defenses that have allowed more than 25 points just twice in the last 10 combined games, points should be at a premium in this one.

50* Powerhouse Play on Coastal Carolina/Georgia Southern under45½ -110

An all-Sun Belt contest on Saturday features the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (3-3) on the road against the Georgia Southern Eagles (2-3). The over/under is set at 45.5 points.

It’s been an interesting 30-day stretch for the Chanticleers coming into this matchup. After putting up 46 and 62 points in wins over Norfolk and UMass, Coastal Carolina dropped back-to-back games against App State and Georgia State.

On average, the Chanticleers are scoring 34 points per game on 423 yards of offense while allowing 27 points on 319 yards.

Without a receiver with more than 309 yards through the air, the Chanticleers rely on the running game more often than not. If Georgia Southern can suffocate running back CJ Marable, who has 508 rushing yards and five touchdowns, they’ll have a good chance in this one.

The Eagles enter this contest with the momentum of a 20-17 double-overtime win over South Alabama. On average, Georgia Southern is scoring 21 points per game on 278 yards of offense while allowing 32 points per game on 380 yards.

Georgia Southern has been inept when it comes to a passing game. Without a single 100-yard receiver, both Georgia Southern quarterbacks have thrown for a combined 277 yards.

50* Powerhouse Play on Central Michigan/Bowling Green over52½ -110

Despite a four-game losing streak, the Bowling Green Falcons (2-4) have a chance to catch Kent State in the Mid-American Conference. To do so, they’ll need a win over the Central Michigan Chippewas (4-3) on Saturday. The over/under is set at 52.5 points.

Central Michigan is coming off two wins over Eastern Michigan and New Mexico State. Scoring 42 points in both contests, the Chippewas outscored their opponents 84-42 in those games. On average, Central Michigan is scoring 28 points per game on 411 yards of offense while allowing 28 points per game on 367 yards.

The Central Michigan offense is led by the duo of Jonathan Ward and Kobe Lewis at the running back position. While Ward has 531 yards and five touchdowns, Lewis has 491 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground.

With a 20-7 win over Toledo last week, Bowling Green halted a four-game skid in which they were outscored 201 to 27. 52-0 losses to both #9 Notre Dame and Kansas State attributed to much of that disparity.

On average, the Falcons are scoring 16 points per game on 343 yards of offense while allowing a whopping 35 points per game on 459 yards.

With 28 catches for 337 yards and two touchdowns, receiver Quintin Morris is Bowling Green’s leading threat in the passing game.

With a defense that’s been torched for at least 52 points on three separate occasions, the Falcons will need their offense to keep up with Central Michigan in this one.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Pittsburgh/Syracuse over51 -110

The stage is set under the lights of Friday night for the Pitt Panthers (4-2) to go on the road and take on the Syracuse Orange (3-3) in an ACC battle. The over/under is set at 51 points.

Since opening the season with a loss to Virginia, Pittsburgh has come on very strong with a 4-1 record over the past month and a half that includes a win over #15 UCF and just a seven-point loss to #13 Penn State. Most recently, the Panthers put up 33 points to defeat Duke by three.

On average, the Panthers are scoring 22 points per game on 393 yards of offense while allowing 23 points on 298 yards.

In his five games played this year, quarterback Kenny Pickett has thrown for 1,370 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions. Pickett’s favorite target has been Taysir Mack, who’s caught 41 passes for 511 yards and two touchdowns.

After scoring 52 and 41 points in wins over Western Michigan and Holy Cross, Syracuse fell to NC State by six points a week ago. On average, Syracuse is scoring 26 points on 378 yards of offense while allowing 26 points on 425 yards.

The duo of quarterback Tommy DeVito and receiver Trishton Jackson has been powerful this year. While DeVito has thrown for 1,534 yards, 12 touchdowns, and five picks, Jackson has racked up 499 yards and six touchdowns on 33 catches.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on UL-Lafayette -6 -110

Thursday evening features a matchup of Sun Belt programs as the University of Louisiana – Lafayette Ragin Cajuns (4-2) go on the road to take on the Arkansas State Red Wolves (3-3).

After four straight wins, Lafayette suffered their second loss of the season last week as they fell to the Appalachian State Mountaineers by a score of 17-7. Offensively, the Ragin Cajuns have been great, scoring between 35 and 77 points in each of their victories.

On average, Lafayette is scoring 38 points per game on 492 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 344 yards.

The Ragin Cajuns can boast a trio of productive running backs. Trey Ragas leads the team with 572 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. Following Ragas, running back Elijah Mitchell has racked up 470 yards and nine TDs while Raymond Calais has added 320 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Arkansas State is coming off a tough 52-38 loss to Georgia State, which is the first game they’ve dropped since the team’s 55-0 beatdown to #3 Georgia. On average, the Red Wolves are scoring 34 points on 430 yards of offense while allowing 39 points on 535 yards.

This appears to be the perfect storm for Lafayette, who will love their chances with a high-powered offense going up against a defense that’s used to giving up a ton or yardage and points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Troy -14½ -110

Despite entering a Wednesday evening game against the South Alabama Jaguars (1-5) as a two-touchdown favorite, the Troy Trojans (2-3) have just two wins on the season.

South Alabama hasn’t won since a 37-14 victory over Jackson State, but they’re coming off a 20-17 double-overtime loss against Georgia Southern. On average, the Jaguars are scoring 17 points per game on 319 yards of offense while allowing 29 points on 400 yards per game.

With 170 yards per game on the ground, the running game is the strength of this South Alabama team. Running back Tra Minter leads the Jaguars with 477 yards and two touchdowns.

Both South Alabama and Troy enjoyed a bye week last weekend, but the Jaguars have also had two extra days to prepare for this contest.

Troy has fallen in their last two games to Arkansas State and Missouri, allowing a total of 92 points. On average, the Trojans are scoring 35 points per game on 450 yards per game while allowing 32 points per game on 402 yards.

The defense looks very susceptible right now, so Troy will be counting on quarterback Kaleb Barker to perform. On the season, Barker has thrown for 1,476 yards with 14 touchdowns and four interceptions.

50* Powerhouse Play on Navy/Tulsa under54 -109

Another American Athletic Conference contest features the Navy Midshipmen (3-1) and Tulsa Golden Hurricane (2-3). The over/under is set at 54 points.

Having only lost to now-ranked Memphis, Navy has started the year strong and is coming off a big 34-25 win over military academy rivals Air Force. In addition to the 34 the Midshipmen scored against the Falcons, they’ve also put up 42 and 45 points in the first two games of the season.

On average, the Midshipmen are scoring 36 points per game on 437 yards of offense while giving up 19 points per game on 277 yards.

In Navy’s triple option offense, quarterback Malcolm Perry leads the team with 480 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and another 386 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.

Last week’s heartbreaking, 43-37 triple-overtime loss to #24 SMU dropped Tulsa to 0-2 against ranked opponents after having already lost to #18 Michigan State in the first game of the year. In the team’s other three games, Tulsa scored between 21 and 34 points.

On average, Tulsa scores 25 points per game on 390 yards of offense while allowing 30 points per game on 390 yards.

Without the aid of three overtime possessions, Tulsa has failed to score more than 24 points since a September 7th game against San Jose State.

50* Powerhouse Play on Army/Western Kentucky over42½ -110

On Saturday night, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (3-2) will host the Black Knights of Army (3-2) The over/under is set at 42.5 points.

Although the Black Knights have won three games, the team’s best performance of the year may have come in a loss. Against #7 Michigan, Army took the Wolverines to double overtime before the Black Knights took a 24-21 loss.

On average, the Black Knights are scoring 30 points per game on 346 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 335 yards.

In Army’s last three games, they’ve scored 31, 33, and 52 points.

Quarterback Kelvin Hopkins spearheads the army offense with his feet, having racked up 253 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Running back Connor Slomka has added another 308 yards and three TDs.

Outside of one 28-point and one 21-point performance, Western Kentucky has scored exactly 20 points in three of their five games. In fact, all three 20-point games have been wins.

On average, the Hilltoppers are scoring 22 points per game on 331 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 303 yards.

With no other player having more than 38 yards rushing, running back Gaej Walker leads the Western Kentucky running game with his 426 yards and four touchdowns.

50* Powerhouse Play on Connecticut/Tulane under58½ -110

A seemingly lopsided American Athletic Conference matchup pits the UConn Huskies (1-4) against the Tulane Green Wave (4-1). The over/under is set at 58.5 points.

UConn started off the year with a 24-21 win over Wagner, but has lost four straight since then. Through five games, the Huskies gave failed to score more than 24 points in any contest.

On average, UConn is scoring 19 points per game on 308 yards of offense while allowing 39 points per game on 416 yards.

With 203 yards of passing offense per game, the Huskies rank 99th in the nation. With 104 yards of rushing per game, the Huskies rank 120th in the nation.

If not for a 24-6 loss to #10 Auburn, Tulane would be perfect on the year. Scoring at least 38 in every other contest, the Green Wave have defeated Houston and Army, among others.

On average, the Green Wave is scoring 37 points per game on 468 yards while allowing 22 points per game on 244 yards.

While Tulane ranks sixth in the nation with 283 rushing yards per game, they sit at just 112th in the country with only 185 yards per game through the air.

50* Powerhouse Play on BYU/South Florida under51 -110

Two teams with identical records will face off on Saturday when the BYU Cougars (2-3) go into Tampa Bay to take on the South Florida Bulls (2-3). The over/under is set at 51 points.

The Cougars have already played three ranked teams on the year. While BYU defeated#24 USC in overtime, they lost to both #22 Washington and #14 Utah in lopsided matchups.

On average, BYU is scoring 22 points a game on 376 yards of offense while allowing 31 points a game on 432 yards.

With starting quarterback Zach Wilson sidelined until December, the Cougars will have to send out freshman Jaren Hall, who is 4-for-7 for 58 yards so far this season.

The BYU rush defense is ranked 119th in the nation.

Unlike the Cougars, South Florida is coming off a win. Last week, the Bulls defeated UConn by a score of 48-22. Against three good opponents - #19 Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, and SMU – USF is winless.

On average, the Bulls are scoring 27 points per game on 344 yards of offense while allowing 30 points per game on 372 yards. The USF defense currently ranks 93rd in the country, and the offense is a mediocre 85th overall.

50* Powerhouse Play on Clemson -27 -109

The undefeated #2 Clemson Tigers (5-0) have an ACC matchup against the Florida State Seminoles (3-2) in South Carolina on Saturday.

After a rough 1-2 start that included losses to Boise State and #25 Virginia, Florida State has won two straight games against Louisville and NC State. On average, the Seminoles are scoring 33 points on 429 yards of offense while allowing 30 points on 447 yards.

With 582 yards, seven touchdowns, and 5.1 yards per carry, running back Cam Akers leads this Florida State offense. Akers will need to be great against Clemson if FSU will have a chance, as the Seminoles have lost nine of their last 10 games against ranked opponents.

Clemson is coming off a narrow 21-20 victory over North Carolina, but has stayed perfect through five games despite losing #1 overall status. The Tigers have scored at least 41 points against Georgia Tech, Syracuse, and Charlotte.

On average, the Tigers are scoring 38 points per game on 486 yards of offense while giving up 12 points per game on just 255 yards.

Although neither team has played yet in the month of October, FSU figures to face the toughest task up against a Clemson defense that’s had extra time to prepare for the Seminoles.

50* Powerhouse Play on Cincinnati/Houston under52 -110

The newly ranked #25 Cincinnati Bearcats (4-1) are headed on the road this weekend to take on the Houston Cougars (2-3). The over/under is set at 52 points.

Other than a 42-0 rout at the hands of #5 Ohio State, the Bearcats have looked very strong. On the resume, Cincinnati can point to wins over UCLA and #18 UCF.

On average, the Bearcats are scoring 28 points per game on 395 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 322 yards.

This will be Cincinnati’s third road game of the year. Other than a blowout against an inferior Marshall team, the Bearcats didn’t’ even manage a single point in the team’s other road game, which came against the Buckeyes.

Houston started out with a tough matchup against #4 Oklahoma to kick off the season. That 49-31 loss was followed up by a win, but losses to #20 Washington State and Tulane further hindered a team that no longer has starting quarterback D’Eriq King under center after the player decided to redshirt.

On average, Houston is scoring 34 points per game on 409 yards of offense while allowing 32 points per game on 492 yards.

Without King, Clayton Tune leads the team form the QB spot. On the season, Tune is 16 of 20 for 124 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. The Cougars didn’t need Tune to lead with his arm in the team’s last contest, but they’ll need him to be more prolific against Cincinnati.  

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Mississippi State/Tennessee over52 -110

Neither the Mississippi State Bulldogs (3-2) or Tennessee Volunteers (1-4) have enjoyed a successful season thus far. This year will get a bit worse for one program on Saturday when these teams match up in an SEC contest. The over/under is set at 52 points.

Mississippi State suffered losses at the hands of Kansas State and #7 Auburn, but beat Kentucky 29-13 a few weeks ago. To start the season, the Bulldogs put up 38 points in two straight games.

On average, Mississippi State is scoring 30 points per game on 398 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 401 yards.

The rushing game of Mississippi State is led by running back Kylin Hill and quarterback Garrett Shrader. While Hill has rushed for 596 yards and five touchdowns, Shrader has racked up 312 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

Tennessee has struggled all year, including recent losses to #9 Florida and #3 Georgia. But including a 45-0 win over Chattanooga, the Volunteers have scored at least 26 on three occasions. Defensively, Tennessee has allowed 29 points or more in four of their five games.

On average, the Volunteers are scoring 24 points per game on 352 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 377 yards.

Tennessee will look to get the ball into Jauan Jennings’ hands. Through five games, Jennings has caught 26 passes for 395 yards and five touchdowns.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Miami-FL -2 -110

A good Friday night matchup pits #20 Virginia (4-1) against unranked Miami (2-3) in Florida. Despite the losing record, Miami is favored by two points in this contest.

The Virginia Cavaliers earned ranked status with wins over Florida State and Pittsburgh, but are coming off a 35-20 loss to #10 Notre Dame. On average, Virginia is scoring 32 points on 363 yards of offense while allowing 21 points on 275 yards.

One hurdle Virginia will have to overcome is the lack of back-to-back ACC road wins since 2011.

In the Notre Dame loss, Virginia’s lack of running game was exposed. Against the Irish, the Cavaliers racked up just 29 yards rushing as a team.

Miami has enjoyed little success under head coach Manny Diaz. Other than a 63-0 explosion against Bethune Cookman, the Hurricanes have failed to impress on offense. Losses to #8 Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia Tech have set Miami back this season.

However, it’s worth noting that seven points is the widest margin by which Miami has lost all season. On average, the Hurricanes are scoring 32 points on 448 yards of offense while allowing 21 points on 283 yards.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Syracuse/NC State under55½ -110

Identical records will face off when the NC State Wolfpack (3-2) host the Syracuse Orange (3-2) on Thursday night. The over/under is set at 55.5 points.

Although Syracuse allowed just three total points in games against Liberty and Holy Cross, they were pummeled to the tune of 104 total points against Maryland and #1 Clemson. On average, Syracuse scores 29 points per game on 385 yards of offense while allowing 28 points per game on 438 yards.

Quarterback Tommy DeVito leads the Orange with 1,234 yards, 11 touchdowns, and five interceptions. DeVito’s biggest weapon is receiver Trishton Jackson, who’s caught 24 balls for 393 yards and five touchdowns.

NC State has failed to rise up against their quality opponents so far this year, losing to both FSU and West Virginia. On the bright side, the Wolfpack have allowed just 29 total points against their other three opponents.

On average, NC State is scoring 30 points per game on 431 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 321 yards.

Bailey Hockman is expected to start at quarterback for the Wolfpack. So far, Hockman has thrown for 255 yards, one touchdown, and one interception on 50 attempts.

Both Hockman and DeVito are coming off injuries, so neither starting spot is set in stone.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Appalachian State/UL-Lafayette over68½ -109

You’ll only find one loss between the records of both the Appalachian State Mountaineers (4-0) and Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns (4-1). The over/under is set at 68.6 points as these two teams get set to face off Wednesday night.

The jewel in Appalachian State’s arsenal of wins is a 34-31 win over North Carolina on September 21st. On average, the Mountaineers are scoring 47 points per game on 429 yards of offense while allowing 29 points per game on 420 yards.

Appalachian State has scored 56 points in two contests this year, thanks in large part to running back Darrynton Evans. In four games, Evans has racked up 471 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground, and is averaging seven yards per rush.

The Ragin Cajuns’ sole loss of the season came against Mississippi State in the season opener by a score of 38-28. Now, UL-Lafayette is on a four-game winning streak that includes a 77-6 victory over Texas Southern.

On average, the Ragin Cajuns are scoring 44 points per game on 540 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 345 yards.

Lafayette can boast a pair of rushers over 400 yards on the ground. Elijah Mitchell has rushed for 402 yards and nine touchdowns. Trey Ragas has rushed for 548 yards and six touchdowns while averaging 9.8 yards per carry.

While both offenses are used to scoring plenty of points, the Appalachian State defense has allowed between 31 and 41 points in each of their last three games while Lafayette has allowed 24 and 25 points in their last two.

50* Powerhouse Play on UMass/Florida International over67½ -109

Each with just a single win on the season, the Florida International Panthers (1-3) will play host to the UMass Minutemen (1-4) on Saturday. The over/under is set at 67.5 points.

After a tough start to the season, UMass was able to claim their first victory of the season last week in a 37-29 win over Akron. On average, the Minutemen are scoring 25 points per game on 329 yards of offense while allowing 47 points on 526 yards.

It’s been a rough season for UMass, but running back Bilal Ally has done his part. Leading the offense in rushing, Ally has racked up 353 yards and three touchdowns thus far on the year.

FIU hasn’t started the year much better, dropping games to Tulane, Western Kentucky, and Louisiana Tech. The Panthers’ lone win came against New Hampshire.

On average, Florida International is scoring 22 points per game on 361 yards of offense while allowing 31 points per game on 454 yards.

With James Morgan taking the majority of snaps, Florida International hasn’t enjoyed a great deal of success. Morgan is 51 of 86 for 627 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Neither offense has been great, but they should both be able to match or exceed their season high of 37 points for UMass and 31 points for FIU when they go up against these defenses Saturday.

50* Powerhouse Play on Ball State +5 -109

The Ball State Cardinals (1-3) haven’t had much to celebrate so far in the 2019 season. However, as the Cardinals go on the road to take on the Huskies of Northern Illinois (1-3) they have a great chance against an underwhelming team with just a single win to its name.

For Ball State, quarterback Drew Plitt has been solid. With a completion percentage of 67.6%, Plitt has thrown for 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. Led by receiver Riley Miller, who has 306 yards and two touchdowns on 22 receptions, the Cardinals offer three players with at least 200 receiving yards and five players with at least 100 receiving yards.

Although Ball State has lost to NC State, FAU, and Indiana, they’ve managed at least 24 points in each contest. The Cardinals are averaging 34 points per game and giving up 35 points per game.

Despite losing three straight games to #13 Utah, Nebraska, and Vanderbilt, Northern Illinois is a five-point favorite in this contest. The Huskies have scored a maximum of 24 points this year, with 18 points being their largest offensive output in any of their defeats.

With just four touchdowns and three picks on the season, Ross Bowers hasn’t been good enough to win ball games for Northern Illinois. He’ll look to add to his 1,056 passing yards on the season.

50* Powerhouse Play on Air Force/Navy over45 -109

College football fans have the pleasure of enjoying a military academy matchup on Saturday when the Navy Midshipmen (2-1) host the Air Force Falcons (3-1). The over/under is set at 45 points.

Air Force has notched wins against Colgate, Colorado, and San Jose State. The Falcons’ only loss came in a tough road game against #20 Boise State that ended 30-19.

On average, Air Force is scoring 35 points per game on 442 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 304 yards.

As a triple option team, Air Force has six players with at least 100 yards on the ground, including quarterback Donald Hammond III (135 yards, five touchdowns). Running back Kadin Remsberg leads the team with 342 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, followed by the 338 yards and two touchdowns of Taven Birdow.

Navy has played just three games thus far, winning against Holy Cross and East Carolina before falling to Memphis a week ago. The Midshipmen have scored at least 42 points in each of their two wins in addition to putting up 23 in the Memphis loss.

On average, Navy is scoring 37 points a game on 457 yards of offense while allowing 17 points per game on 251 yards.

Navy doesn’t like to throw the ball much either, but quarterback Malcolm Perry has been in the end zone plenty of times this year. In addition to his 336 yards and three TDs through the air, Perry is the team’s leading rusher with 275 yards and seven touchdowns.

50* Powerhouse Play on TCU/Iowa State under43½ -109

After a two-point defeat at the hands of Baylor, Iowa State (2-2) looks to rebound from its second loss of the season against TCU (3-1) Saturday afternoon. The over/under is set at 43.5 points.

Although the Horned Frogs have scored at least 34 points in every contest this year, including a 41-38 loss to SMU, Iowa State presents the toughest defense TCU has come up against.

On average, TCU is scoring 41 points per game on 488 yards of offense while giving up 19 points a game on 246 yards.

While the Horned Frogs can spread the ball to any one of five receivers with more than 100 yards thus far, the offense is led by running backs Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua. Anderson has rushed for 483 yards and five touchdowns while Olonilua has rushed for 202 yards and two touchdowns.

While losing to Baylor and #19 Iowa, the Iowa State Cyclones haven’t allowed more than 26 points in any contest. In fact, the Cyclones only allowed 26 in a triple overtime game against Northern Iowa.

On average, Iowa State is scoring 35 points per game on 500 yards of offense while allowing 22 points per game on 352 yards. It’s worth noting that Iowa State’s points-per-game average is elevated by a 70-point performance over UL Monroe.

Quarterback Brock Purdy (1,331 yards, 8 TDs, 2 INTs) has a pair of 300-yard receivers to throw to. Tarique Milton has caught 16 balls for 344 yards and two touchdowns, and Deshaunte Jones has caught 27 passes for 334 yards and a touchdown.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Oklahoma State/Texas Tech under63½ -110

Texas Tech (2-2) will play a ranked opponent for the second time in as many weeks when they host #21 Oklahoma State (4-1) on Saturday. The over/under is set at 63.5 points.

The OSU Cowboys are coming off two straight ranked games of their own, beating #24 Kansas State but narrowly losing to #12 Texas the week prior. On average, Oklahoma State is scoring 41 points per game on 532 yards of offense while allowing 24 points a game on 380 yards.

Running back Chuba Hubbard is the key piece of this Cowboys offense. On 128 carries, Hubbard has rushed for 938 yards and 10 touchdowns. On average, Hubbard is running for 188 yards and two touchdowns per game.

Texas Tech has faced two good opponents this year and lost to them both, though nobody expected the Red Raiders to compete with #6 Oklahoma. On average, Texas Tech is scoring 28 points a game on 460 yards of offense while allowing 24 points a game on 390 yards.

A Red Raiders offense boasting three 100-yard rushers and four 100-yard receivers is led by quarterback Alan Bowman, who’s thrown for 1,020 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions.

Against quality opponents, Oklahoma State is averaging 28 points a game and Texas Tech is averaging 15 points a game. Combined, that’s nowhere near the 63.5 point total set for this matchup.

50* Powerhouse Play on Maryland/Rutgers under57 -110

After getting out to a great start to the season, Maryland (2-2) has lost its last two contests. Saturday, the Terrapins will go on the road to take on the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers (1-3). The over/under is set at 57 points.

With a combined 142 points in its first two games, Maryland defeated both Howard University and #21 Syracuse in the first two weeks of the season. But after earning a top-25 ranking, the Terrapins fell to Temple by a field goal before getting demolished by #12 Penn State.

On average, Maryland is scoring 40 points per game on 435 yards of offense while allowing 25 points per game on 378 yards.

The problem Maryland faces heading into this week’s matchup is a recent lack of offensive production. After scoring just 17 against Temple, the Terrapins were shutout by the Nittany Lions.

After defeating UMass in the season opener, Rutgers has fallen in three straight games to #20 Iowa, Boston College, and #20 Michigan. In their games against ranked opponents, the Scarlet Knights have been shutout.

On average, Rutgers is scoring 16 points per game on 302 yards of offense while allowing 33 points per game on 413 yards.

The Scarlet Knights haven’t gotten a ton of production from the receiving core. Running back Raheem Blackshear leads the team with 29 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns. Receiver Bo Melton, who has 11 catches for 206 yards and a TD, is the only other Rutgers player with more than 54 receiving yards.

50* Powerhouse Play on Utah State/LSU under74 -110

The undefeated #5 LSU Tigers (4-0) will face a surprisingly tough opponent at home when they host the Utah State Aggies (3-1) Saturday. The over/under is set at 74 points.

A three-point loss to Wake Forest in the season opener is the only thing that stands in the way of an undefeated season for Utah State to this point. Over the past couple of weeks, the Aggies have earned a pair of quality wins over San Diego State and Colorado State.

On average, Utah State is scoring 39 points per game on 533 yards of offense while allowing 22 points per game on 377 yards.

Quarterback Jordan Love leads the way for Utah State with 1,207 yards, six touchdowns, and five picks. Running backs Jaylen Warren (335 yards, four touchdowns) and Gerold Bright (301 yards, two touchdowns) give the Aggies offense a good balance.

This LSU team looks more complete than any team they’ve had over the past decade. With a more modern offense, the Tigers have put up at least 45 in every contest, including a win against #9 Texas.

On average, LSU is scoring 58 points per game on 563 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 320 yards.

Quarterback Joe Burrow has looked incredible for the Tigers this season. With three 300-yard receivers, Burrow has thrown for 1,520 yards and 17 touchdowns with just two interceptions through four games.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Central Florida/Cincinnati over60 -110

With a loss to Pittsburgh, the Central Florida Knights (4-1) kissed goodbye another undefeated regular season. Now, #18 UCF looks to continue taking out its frustration against the Cincinnati Bearcats (3-1) on Friday night. The over/under is set at 60 points.

Other than UCF’s 35-34 loss to Pitt, the Knights haven’t scored fewer than 45 points in any contest, including a win over Stanford. On average, UCF is scoring 49 points per game on 568 yards of offense while allowing 19 points a game on 324 yards.

The duo of quarterback Dillon Gabriel and receiver Gabriel Davis has been incredibly productive for the Knights. Gabriel has thrown for 1,338 yards, 14 touchdowns, and two picks, and Davis has caught 25 balls for 499 yards and eight touchdowns.

Cincinnati has an impressive win over UCLA on the schedule, but was blown out by #5 Ohio State by 42. On average, Cincinnati is scoring 28 points a game on 408 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 297 yards.

The Bearcats offense can point to a 35-point performance over Miami of Ohio and a 52-point performance over Marshall. Quarterback Desmond Ridder has thrown for 815 yards, eight touchdowns, and three picks.

With the pace at which UCF plays, both teams should get a large number of possessions, and UCF normally takes advantage of those. If UCF hits its offensive average, Cincinnati will need just 11 points to hit the total.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Temple/East Carolina over47 -110

Two American Athletic Conference teams are set to battle it out when the Temple Owls (3-1) go on the road against the East Carolina Pirates (3-2). The over/under is set at 47.

Only a loss to Buffalo stains the record of the otherwise perfect Owls, having beaten both Georgia Tech and #21 Maryland. A balanced Temple team is scoring an average of 31 points a game on 433 yards of offense while allowing 17 points per game on 282 yards.

Temple enjoyed its best offensive performance when it exploded for 56 against Bucknell.

Temple quarterback Anthony Russo can boast 1,071 yards and 10 touchdowns through the air thus far in the season, but he’s also tossed six picks in four games.

East Carolina is through five games of its 2019 season. Wins over Gardner-Webb, Old Dominion, and William & Mary are overshadowed by two large defeats to NC State and Navy. On average, East Carolina is scoring 21 points per game on 370 yards of offense while allowing 23 points per game on 342 yards.

The Pirates’ best performance came against Gardner-Webb. Including a 31-point first half, East Carolina ended with a whopping 48 points.

Eastern Carolina has the pleasure of sending out four 100-yard rushers through five games of the season. Behind running back Demetrius Mauney and his 199 yards is quarterback Holton Ahlers, who’s rushed for 186 yards and three touchdowns.

Look for receiver Blake Proehl to make some big plays tonight. Proehl has 20 catches for 283 yards and two touchdowns on the season.

50* Powerhouse Play on Colorado State/Utah State under71 -110

Saturday night will feature a matchup between the Colorado State Rams (1-3) and Utah State Aggies (2-1) in Utah. The over/under is set at 71 points.

It’s been a rough start for Colorado State. Other than a 38-13 win over Western Illinois, the Rams have allowed at least 41 points in each of the team’s three losses.

On average, Colorado State is scoring 35 points a game on 551 yards of offense while giving up 40 points a game on 439 yards.

Offensively, Colorado State is led by feature running back Marvin Kinsey Jr., who’s rushed for 556 yards and three touchdowns so far this season. The Rams also have two receivers over 300 yards and five receivers over 100 yards through the air.

If not for a three-point loss to Wake Forest, Utah State would be undefeated. The Aggies dominated Stony Brook before an impressive win over San Diego State last week.

On average, Utah State is scoring 40 points per game on 562 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 404 yards.

Through three games, quarterback Jordan Love has racked up 1,003 yards on 88 of 129 passing with four TDs and three picks. In addition to a 320-yard rusher in Jaylen Warren, Love is working with five receivers who’ve amassed at least 130 yards receiving.

50* Powerhouse Play on East Carolina/Old Dominion over46½ -110

Coming off two straight losses, the Old Dominion Monarchs (1-2) will host the East Carolina Pirates (2-2) in an early evening game on Saturday. The over/under is set at 46.5 points.

The visiting Pirates suffered two heavy defeats at the hands of North Carolina State and Navy, but racked up a pair of wins against Gardner-Webb and William & Mary. On average, East Carolina is scoring 21 points a game on 386 yards of offense while allowing 23 points a game on 354 yards.

The Pirates rely heavily on the running game, led the by three players over 140 rushing yards on the season. One of those players is quarterback Holton Ahlers, who’s also thrown for 711 yards, two touchdowns, and three picks.

After opening with a win over Norfolk State, Old Dominion has faced tough competition. The Monarchs lost to both Virginia Tech and #21 Virginia, but they managed to score 17 points in each contest.

On average, Old Dominion is scoring 19 points a game on 295 yards of offense while giving up 27 points a game on 305 yards.

The Monarchs offense likes to spread the ball out through the air. Led by Eric Kumah’s 93 yards, Old Dominion has eight players with at least 37 yards receiving. Against relatively stiff competition, the Monarchs can boast two 100-yard rushers between Lala Davis (158 yards, one TD) and Kesean Strong (116 yards, one TD).

Although neither offense has been consistently great, an Old Dominion offense that’s been suffocated by tough competition over the last couple of games will be eager to put up points. After scoring 17 against Virginia, how much can the Monarchs score against East Carolina?

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Iowa State/Baylor over54 -110

Only a one-point loss to rival #19 Iowa has kept the Iowa State Cyclones (2-1) from a perfect record through three games. Saturday afternoon, the undefeated Baylor Bears (3-0) will play host to Iowa State. The over/under is set at 54 points.

Iowa State has already experienced a pair of very close games, one of which went to overtime. The Cyclones then took out their frustration from the Iowa game against UL Monroe by winning 72-20. On average, the Cyclones are scoring 39 points per game on 531 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 33 yards.

The Cyclones offense has been spreading the ball and rolling. In addition to having four receivers over 150 yards, Iowa State can boast six total players of 60 yards rushing on the season. Leading the offense is quarterback Brock Purdy, who’s thrown for 989 yards, six touchdowns, and one pick.

Baylor hasn’t played the toughest competition in the world to start the season, but they’ve gotten the job done. The Bears also showed their offensive prowess by scoring 56 and 63 points in the first two games of the year.

On average, Baylor is scoring 47 points a game on 497 yards of offense while allowing 15 points a game on 261 yards.

Baylor has three rushers over 100 yards for the season, led by the 186 yards of John Lovett. Denzel Mims leads all receivers with 249 yards and three touchdowns through three games. Quarterback Charlie Brewer has thrown for 665 yards and seven touchdowns without a pick.

With two offenses that have shown explosive potential, 54 points should be surpassed before this contest is over.

50* Powerhouse Play on USC/Washington over60 -110

The table is set for a Saturday afternoon contest between two ranked teams as the #17 Washington Huskies (3-1) play host to the #21 USC Trojans (3-1). The over/under is set at 60 points.

Only a 30-27 overtime loss to BYU has kept the Trojans from starting the year off 4-0. On the bright side, USC can claim a pair of wins over ranked opponents as they’ve defeated #23 Stanford and #10 Utah. With a win over #17 Washington, USC would be sitting pretty.

On average, USC is scoring 33 points a game on 443 yards of offense while allowing 24 points a game on 421 yards.

The Trojans offense can really get going behind three very good receivers. Michael Pittman Jr. has 31 catches for 437 yards and three touchdowns, Tyler Vaughns has 27 catches for 370 yards and two touchdowns, and Amon-Ra St. Brown has 19 catches for 207 yards and three touchdowns.

For Washington, a second-week loss to Cal has been surrounded by three dominant victories over Eastern Washington, Hawai’i, and BYU. On average, the Huskies are scoring 41 points per game on 461 yards of offense while allowing 18 points per game on 332 yards.

Washington has firepower all over the field offensively, including three receivers with a combined 766 yards and seven touchdowns, as well as three running backs with a combined 692 yards and eight touchdowns. Quarterback Jacob Eason has thrown for 1,063 yards, 10 touchdowns, and two picks.

Both teams are led by the offenses, including dangerous sets of wide receivers who can score on any play. This could easily turn into the highest-scoring contest of the weekend.

50* Powerhouse Play on Buffalo/Miami-OH over47 -110

With several 2-2 teams occupying top spots throughout the MAC, the Buffalo Bulls (2-2) will try to keep pace as they go on the road to take on the Miami of Ohio Redhawks (1-3). The over/under is set at 47 points.

Buffalo has failed to score more than 17 points twice this year, but one of those performances came against #15 Penn State. In their two victories, the Bulls put up 38 points each. On average, Buffalo is scoring 27 points on 358 yards of offense while allowing 28 points on 321 yards.

Quarterback Matt Meyers leads Buffalo with 543 yards, five touchdowns, and two picks so far this season. The running game is the strength of the Bulls offense with two 300-yard rushers in Jaret Patterson (363 yards, three TDs) and Kevin Marks (319 yards, one TD).

Miami drew the short stick when it comes to early season schedules, having to face #20 Iowa, Cincinnati, and #6 Ohio State, all of which they lost. However, the Redhawks showed they have scoring potential when they put up 48 in a win over Tennessee Tech.

On average, the Redhawks are scoring 20 points a game on 232 yards of offense while allowing 42 points a game on 442 yards. Keep in mind that a 76-5 loss to OSU is skewing those numbers.

A strong Buffalo running game mixed with a Miami offense that should have the opportunity to get rolling against lesser competition than they’ve been facing could turn this into a high-scoring affair early on.

50* Powerhouse Play on Kansas +16 -110

The Kansas Jayhawks (2-2) are getting 16 points as they go into Fort Worth to take on the TCU Horned Frogs (2-1). Kansas won this matchup last season by a score of 27-26.

So far, Kansas has experienced an impressive 48-24 win over Boston College and played well against West Virginia, but the Jayhawks also let a disappointing 12-7 loss against Coastal Carolina ruin an otherwise positive start to the season.

On average, Kansas is scoring 26 points per game on 402 yards of offense while allowing 21 points per game on 374 yards.

Quarterback Carter Stanley has been good for Kansas thus far, throwing for 861 yards on 72% passing while tossing eight touchdowns and four picks. On the ground, Khalil Herbert leads the team with 384 yards, followed by the 296 yards of Pooka Williams Jr.

TCU got out to a blistering start, winning their first two games by a combined 73-20. However, the Horned Frogs couldn’t keep up with SMU last week in a 41-38 defeat.

On average, TCU is scoring 37 points a game on 443 yards of offense while allowing 20 points a game on 275 yards.

Quarterback Max Duggan is completing just 50% of his passes, but he’s been careful with the football. Duggan has thrown for 423 yards and five touchdowns without an interception on the season.

With Kansas getting 16 points on the road, this game could come down to which TCU defense shows up; the defense that held Purdue to 13 points, or the defense that gave up 41 to SMU.

50* Powerhouse Play on Central Michigan +17 -110

Two teams with identical 2-2 records will face off Saturday when the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-2) go on the road to take on the Broncos of Western Michigan (2-2).

Excluding a 61-0 loss to #17 Wisconsin, Central Michigan has played pretty well against its early schedule. The Chippewas scored 38 and 45 points in wins over Albany and Akron, and lost a tight 17-12 game against the Miami Hurricanes.

On average, Central Michigan is scoring 24 points a game on 342 yards of offense while allowing 31 points a game on 367 yards of offense.

Quarterback David Moore has taken over the Chippewas offense and has played reasonably well. Moore has thrown for 534 yards, two touchdowns, and a pick in limited action this year. Expect Moore to get more and more comfortable as he gets more time under center.

Other than in the 51-17 loss to #19 Michigan State, Western Michigan has scored at least 33 points in every contest. On average, the Broncos score 39 points per game on 515 yards of offense while allowing 32 points per game on 446 yards of offense.

Western Michigan is very much an offense-first team, led by quarterback Jon Wassink and his 1,222 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions.

Western Michigan looks poised to outscore Central Michigan, but 17 points is a lot to lay for a Bronos defense that’s given up more than 50 points on two occasions this season.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Duke/Virginia Tech over52 -110

An important ACC clash will take place Friday night when the Virginia Tech Hokies (2-1) host the Duke Blue Devils (2-1). Virginia Tech is 0-1 in conference play, and this will be Duke’s first conference opponent.

After getting destroyed 42-3 by #2 Alabama, Duke responded well over the next couple of weeks by scoring 45 and 41 points in victories over North Carolina A&T and Middle Tennessee. On average, the Blue Devils are scoring 30 points a game on 413 yards of offense while allowing 24 points a game on 366 yards.

Senior Quentin Harris has been very good at quarterback for Duke. In addition to his 679 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions through the air, Harris also leads the team in rushing with 203 yards and another TD.

A big chunk of Duke’s scoring offense comes from freshman receiver Jalon Calhoun, who’s reeled in 15 passes for 153 yards and three touchdowns this year.

Virginia Tech endured a tough seven-point loss to Boston College to kick off the season, but rebounded with wins over Old Dominion and Furman. On average, Virginia Tech is scoring 27 points a game on 398 yards while allowing 23 points on 329 yards.

The Hokies offense is led by quarterback Ryan Willis, who’s thrown for 739 yards, seven touchdowns, and four picks.

Both defenses have looked less than dominant in their opportunities against cupcake competition, which means these capable offenses should be able to put up points Friday night. If the likes of Old Dominion and Middle Tennessee can score 17 or more, Duke and Virginia Tech are well equipped to reach their offensive averages or more.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Navy/Memphis over53½ -110

Two undefeated AAC teams are set to go head to head on Thursday when the Navy Midshipmen (2-0) go on the road to take on the Memphis Tigers (3-0). The over/under is set at 53.5 points.

Navy has looked strong through two games, easily taking care of Holy Cross before defeating Eastern Carolina by a score of 42-10. On average, Navy is scoring 43 points a game on 499 yards of offense. The team has been good defensively by allowing just 8 points a game, but that’s come against inferior competition to what Navy will face Thursday.

After an impressive, low-scoring win over Ole Miss, Memphis went on to score 55 points against Southern and 42 points against South Alabama. On 487 yards of offense per game, the Tigers are averaging 37 points a game.

In five combined games, these two teams have scored at least 42 points in four of them, which makes the 53.5 point total look like a small number.

With quarterback Malcolm Perry throwing for just 254 yards and two TDs on the season, the running game is clearly the strength of the Navy offense. However, Perry has been incredibly efficient, earning those 254 yards on just 11 completions and 16 attempts.

Led by Perry’s 184 yards, Navy can boast three rushers over 100 yards and five over 50 yards thorough just two games. Perry has scored five times on the ground while fullback Nelson Smith has scored three and receiver CJ Williams has added another.

Memphis has been strong across the board on offense in their three games of the season. Quarterback Brady White is 52 of 72 for 718 yards, five touchdowns, and two picks.

The Tigers also have three rushers over 100 yards, but Kenneth Gainwell is the feature back. Gainwell has racked up 307 yards and three touchdowns through three games.

50* Powerhouse Play on Arizona State -8 -110

Coming off two overtime games, the Colorado Buffaloes (2-1) are headed on the road to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils (3-0).

Many expected the momentum from a huge come-from-behind win versus #25 Nebraska to carry over into Colorado’s contest against Air Force. It didn’t. The Falcons won the game by seven in another overtime thriller.

The Buffaloes are averaging 36 points on the back of 421 yards per game. Defensively, Colorado is allowing 30 points per game and giving up 472 yards of total offense on average.

With Arizona State’s suffocating defense, Buffalo quarterback Steven Montez will need to be careful as he attacks through the air. On the season, Montez is 67 of 104 for 827 yards, six touchdowns, and two picks.

The aforementioned defense of the Sun Devils is why Arizona State has gotten off to a flawless 3-0 start. In each of the teams three games, the opponent has been held to just seven points, and that includes #18 Michigan State.

The Sun Devils are averaging just 20 points a game, but that’s just fine when they’re only giving up a touchdown every time they step on the field.

With one of the best scoring defenses in the nation, Arizona State would love to get more production out of the offense and quarterback Jayden Daniels. The freshman is 47 of 77 for 728 yards and three touchdowns on the season.

50* Powerhouse Play on New Mexico -4 -109

Saturday features an all-New Mexico affair as the New Mexico University Lobos (1-1) host the New Mexico State Aggies (0-3).

New Mexico State started off the season with a brutal schedule, taking on #23 Washington State and #2 Alabama. However, the Aggies will have wanted a better performance against San Diego State, to whom they lost by a score of 31-10.

Through three games, New Mexico State is scoring an average of nine points while allowing opponents to score 50.

Aggies quarterback Josh Adkins needs to have a good game, which includes protecting the football. On the season, Adkins is 73 of 113 for 665 yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions.

New Mexico edged out Sam Houston State by eight in the season opener before falling to #7 Notre Dame by a score of 66-14. Those two results won’t scare many teams, as the Lobos are averaging 26 points per game while giving up 48.

While the Lobos have allowed 438 passing yards per game, they’ll be looking to pick off a turnover-prone Adkins and hand their offense extra possessions. If New Mexico can contain an Aggies rushing attack that’s averaging just 75 yards per game, they should be able to put pressure on Adkins.

50* Powerhouse Play on South Carolina +9½ -110

A pair of SEC foes will go head to head in Missouri as the South Carolina Gamecocks (1-2) try to take down the Missouri Tigers (2-1).

Although South Carolina’s record is the worse of the two, the two defeats have come against a good North Carolina squad and the #2 team in the country, Alabama. Missouri has beaten up on inferior competition, but also lost a shocker to Wyoming in the season opener.

By the numbers, we’re looking at an offensive strength versus a defensive strength in this matchup. While South Carolina has put up 501 yards a game, Missouri is averaging 473 yards of offense. However, the Tigers are allowing just 218 yards per game while the Gamecocks are giving up 440 on average.

Rico Dowdle was a solid performer last week against Alabama. On just 12 carries, Dowdle ran for 102 yards. That brings the running back’s season total up to 251 yards with a pair of scores.

Also encouraging for South Carolina is the play of freshman quarterback Ryan Helinski, who’s thrown for 606 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks in the two games he’s played. 324 of those yards and two of those TDs came against the Crimson Tide.

Kelly Bryant looked decent for Missouri against Southeast Missouri State a week ago. The senior QB threw for 225 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

9.5 points feels like a lot to lay for a Missouri team that failed to beat Wyoming.

50* Powerhouse Play on Central Michigan +30 -110

The Chippewas of Central Michigan (2-1) bounced back from a 61-0 thrashing at the hands of #17 Wisconsin to take down Akron. Saturday, Central Michigan takes on the Hurricanes (1-2) in Miami.

Although Central Michigan puts up just 373 yards of total offense per game, they’ve scored 38 and 45 points in their two victories this season. The team’s average of 35 points allowed is skewed heavily by the loss to Wisconsin.

Quarterback David Moore performed well in the start last week. Against the Zips, Moore threw for 317 yards and two touchdowns without a pick. Alongside running back Kobe Lewis, who rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns a week ago, the Chippewas offer a balanced offensive attack.

The Hurricanes appear to be in the midst of a decline. After a 10-3 season in 2017, Miami went 7-6 a year ago before starting off the 2019 season with a record of 1-2. Before blowing out Bethune Cookman, the Hurricanes fell to #8 Florida and North Carolina.

Offensively, Miami scores an average of 36 points on 459 total yards. Defensively, the Hurricanes allow 17 points a game on 276 yards. Sticking to those averages won’t be enough to cover the 30 points Miami is giving Central Michigan.

In fact, Miami has failed to reach 30 points in two of its first three games.

So far, Miami quarterback Jarren Williams has thrown for 777 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions. However, half of Williams’ TDs came against Bethune Cookman last week.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Rutgers +8½ -109

Each with one loss on the record, the Boston College Eagles (2-1) are set to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (1-1) on Saturday.

Thus far, Boston College has had very little trouble putting points on the board. Since an impressive 35-28 win over Virginia Tech to start the season, the Eagles have scored 45 and 48 points. Although Boston College is allowing 30 points per game, they’re scoring an average of 35.

After a strong start, Boston College suffered an embarrassing loss to Kansas after coming into the matchup as 21-point favorites. Against the Jayhawks, Boston College allowed 329 yards on the ground and 567 yards of total offense.

Eagles quarterback Anthony Brown completed just half his passes for 195 yards and a TD. Running back AJ Dillon rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown, but the Boston College offense was scoreless in the second half.

After a 48-21 win over UMass to start the 2019 season, Rutgers was demolished by #20 Iowa in the team’s second contest. With an extra week to prepare, Rutgers will attempt to improve its 24 points a game and 25 points allowed per game.

Against superior competition, Rutgers only managed 125 yards of offense. Now going up against a Boston College team that struggled to finish tackles a week ago, the Scarlet Knights should have more success on the back of Isaih Pacheco, who’s rushed for 223 yards and four TDs through the first two games of the year.

50* Powerhouse Play on Southern Miss +39½ -110

The Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi (2-1) have a tough task ahead of them as they go into Tuscaloosa to take on the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide (3-0).

In the team’s lone loss, which came against Mississippi State, Southern Miss only managed 15 points. However, the Golden Eagles were able to score 38 and 47 points in wins over Alcorn State and Troy. On average, Southern Miss is scoring 33 points and allowing 30 points per game.

Much of the Golden Eagles’ 453 yards per game come from the arm of QB Jack Abraham. Abraham has thrown for 990 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions on the season. With 347 passing yards per game, Southern Miss is ranked 12thin the nation.

The Golden Eagles will be hoping for another kickoff return for a touchdown from Jaylond Adams, who’s averaging one per game this season.

Alabama has yet to truly struggle this season, scoring at least 42 points in every game. On average, the Crimson Tide put up 50 points while holding opponents to 12 points per game. Alabama is also holding opponents to 308 yards of offense while racking up 562 yards themselves.

Already over the 1,000-yard mark, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is 70 of 91 for 1,007 yards and 12 touchdowns. Jerry Jeudy is on the receiving end of most Tagovailoa passes, earning 308 yards and four touchdowns thus far.

Southern Miss will point to a tight first quarter for Alabama against South Carolina in which the Crimson Tide only led by a score of 14-10. If Alabama has another slow start, the Golden Eagles will be sitting pretty with regard to the 39.5-point spread.

50* Powerhouse Play on UL-Monroe +18½ -109

Identical records will be put on the line Saturday when the University of Louisiana at Monroe Warhawks (1-1) go on the road to take on the Cyclones of Iowa State (1-1).

Both teams are coming off heartbreaking losses in their last contest. Let’s start with UL Monroe, who lost to Florida State 45-44 in overtime. That near-stunner came on September 7, so the Warhawks will have had an extra week to prepare for Saturday’s game.

Through two games, UL Monroe is scoring 37.5 points per game on 460 yards of total offense. Defensively, the Warhawks are allowing 27 points while opponents are racking up 454 yards per game.

Senior quarterback Caleb Evans has looked good for UL Monroe thus far, tossing three touchdowns and a pick while putting up 424 yards through the air. Although Iowa State presents a formidable rush defense, Warkawks running back Josh Johnson was able to run for 126 yards against FSU two weeks ago.

Despite two very close games to start the season – a three-point win in triple overtime before the one-point loss to Iowa – Iowa State is favored by 18.5 points.

To cover, the Cyclones will need a big performance out of quarterback Brock Purdy, who’s thrown for 554 yards and three touchdowns through the first two games of the season. Yet even with Purdy’s success so far in 2019, Iowa State is scoring just one more point per game than they’re allowing (23-22).

One reason Iowa State hasn’t enjoyed more offensive production this year is the lack of a running game. Kene Nwangwu is the team’s leading back with just 84 yards on the season.

In the last seven games, the Cyclones are 1-6 against the spread.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Air Force +8½ -110

A pair of undefeated teams will face off on the blue turf of Boise State as the #20 Broncos (3-0) host the Air Force Falcons (2-0). This game could have big implications for the Mountain West Conference standings at the end of the year.

The visitors are coming off an impressive overtime win against Colorado. Before that, the Falcons demolished Colgate in their season opener. The old-school Air Force offense has produced 454 yards per game while a strong defense is holding opponents to an average of 243 yards.

Don’t expect Air Force quarterback Donald Hammond to rack up a ton of yardage through the air. On just seven of 12 passes, Hammond threw for 155 yards, two touchdowns, and a pick. The Falcons’ offense relies much more heavily on the run game, which is led by Kadin Remsberg, who rushed for 146 yards against Colorado.

Boise State has started the year strong, taking down FSU in the opener before earning a close win against Marshall and blowing out Portland State. In contrast to an Air Force team led by defense, the Broncos want to outscore opponents. Boise State is averaging 516 yards of offense while giving up 280.

Averaging more than 300 yards a game, Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier has thrown for 927 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions on the season. Bachmeier’s favorite target is Khalil Shakir, who’s reeled in 17 balls for 237 yards and a TD.

Against a triple-option team that will wear any opponent down throughout the course of a game, Boise State will need its freshman QB to protect the ball and be efficient through the air. A relentless Air Force defense will love getting 8.5 points against a Broncos team that only managed 14 points against Marshall.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Houston +5½ -110

Thursday night will feature an American Athletic Conference clash between the visiting Houston Cougars (1-2) and the Green Wave of Tulane (2-1).

Houston has two losses on the record, but they’ve also faced one of the toughest opening schedules in the nation. After an impressive performance in a loss to #4 Oklahoma, the Cougars easily defeated Prairie View before dropping last week’s contest to #20 Washington State by a touchdown.

On the season, Houston is scoring 30 points per game while giving up an average of 32.

Tulane has enjoyed an easier schedule, but they did run into a brick wall when they faced #10 Auburn, losing 24-6. The Green Wave easily took care of business against two inferior opponents in the lead up to this conference game.

So far, Tulane is scoring 35 points per game while allowing an average of 14. Tulane is also putting up 436 yards of offense per game while allowing 276.

Houston is getting 5.5 points on the road, which is an interesting line considering the Cougars dominated Tulane in a 48-17 game last season.

So far, Houston quarterback D’Eriq King is 42 of 77 for 434 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Tulane quarterback Justin McMillan is 37 of 67 for 424 yards, two touchdowns, and two picks.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on New Mexico State +16 -110

It’s Aggies versus Aztecs on Saturday night as 0-2 New Mexico State plays host to 2-0 San Diego State.

San Diego State is coming off an upset 23-14 win over UCLA a week ago. So far, the Aztecs are scoring 14 points per game but allowing just six, due in large part to their shutout victory over Weber State to kick off the season.

New Mexico State may be winless through two games, but both were against quality opponents. After kicking things off against #23 Washington State, the Aggies went into Tuscaloosa to face #2 Alabama. Both games, which were on the road, ended in losses of at least 50 points.

San Diego State will need to be sharp if they’ll cover a 16-point spread on the road. That means the Aztecs will be counting on an efficient performance from running back Juwan Washington, who’s averaging 96 yards per game.

However, it’s the defense that leads the Aztecs. A solid UCLA team managed just 261 yards against the San Diego State D last week. Against the run, the Aztecs rank eighth in the nation.

Despite strong competition, New Mexico State quarterback Josh Adkins has looked pretty good. Although he’s thrown two picks versus one touchdown, Adkins is completing 65% of his passes and put up 366 total yards against two ranked opponents.

Against the spread, San Diego State is 2-8 out of their last 10 games overall.

50* Powerhouse Play on TCU -1½ -110

Thus far, the TCU Horned Frogs (1-0) have played just one game, a 39-7 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Saturday night, TCU will go into Ross-Ade Stadium to take on the Purdue Boilermakers (1-1).

Favored by 1.5 points in this contest, the Horned Frogs figure to be in the mix when it comes to the Big 12 title.

Although TCU went up against an FCS opponent in their first game of the year, they certainly took care of business. With 200 yards on the ground and 284 yards through the air, the Horned frogs carried an advantage of 484-215 yards of total offense over Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

The most intriguing part of Saturday’s matchup should be TCU’s pass defense against Purdue’s pass offense. The Horned frogs gave up just 114 yards through the air in their opener, and Purdue is third in the nation after putting up 466 yards per game thus far.

In last week’s win over Vanderbilt, Purdue quarterback Elijah Sindelar threw for 509 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. However, the Boilermakers managed just two yards per carry on the ground.

Purdue’s defense could be in trouble after allowing 420 yards to Vanderbilt through the air.

50* Powerhouse Play on Hawaii +22 -110

Following a pair of impressive home victories, the Rainbow Warriors of Hawai’I (2-0) will go on the road to take on the #23 Washington Huskies (1-1).

Hawai’i is known for scoring points, and they’ve done just that through their first two games by averaging 37 per game. An opening game win over Arizona was followed by a 31-28 victory over the Oregon State Beavers. Despite a strong start, the Rainbow Warriors are getting 22 points in this upcoming contest.

Washington looked great in their 47-14 drubbing of Eastern Washington. However, a tough 20-19 loss at the hands of Cal brought the Huskies’ average points per game down to 32.

It’s fair to say that Hawai’i junior quarterback Cole McDonald is a gunslinger. So far, McDonald has racked up 799 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions on the season. With a strong Washington defense searching for turnovers, McDonald will need to take better care of the football.

The Rainbow Warriors have put up 542 yards per game thus far, which is good enough for 14thin the nation.

After a 349-yard performance in the first game of the season, Washington quarterback Jacob Eason threw for just 162 yards and a pick in last week’s loss to California. A decent game out of Eason alongside a Huskies defense that ranks 48thin the country in yards allowed should be good enough to win, but they’ll need to score at a high clip if they’ll make up the 22 points they’re laying in this one.

50* Powerhouse Play on Louisville -10 -109

A pair of unranked 1-1 teams will face off in a neutral location as the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers go up against the Cardinals of Louisville in Nashville, Tennessee.

After a 35-28 defeat to Central Arkansas, Western Kentucky bounced back to beat Florida International by a score of 20-14. After both contests, the Hilltoppers are averaging 24 points and giving up an average of 24.

Louisville also lost on opening week, but they played tough against #9 Notre Dame. The Cardinals showed they’re not a pushover after putting up 17 against the Irish before dominating Eastern Kentucky 42-0. Per game, Louisville scores 29 points and allows 17.

Getting 10 points, the Hilltoppers will need to be more careful with the ball if they’re going to compete with Louisville. Against FIU, Western Kentucky forced zero turnovers and coughed the ball up twice, one of which was a pick-six.

Western Kentucky racked up 339 yards of total offense and held Florida International to just 217, but the level of competition will be much higher this Saturday.

It felt like Louisville was letting out some frustration after letting the Notre Dame game get away from them as the Cardinals ran up the score against Eastern Kentucky. Louisville earned 542 yards of total offense while allowing just 172 yards.

Louisville quarterback Jawon Pass is 24 of 46 for 330 yards and four touchdowns alongside one interception.

50* Powerhouse Play on USC -3½ -110

After a big win over #23 Stanford, the #24 USC Trojans (2-0) look to stay unbeaten as they go on the road to take on the unranked BYU Cougars (1-1).

After falling behind 20-10 against the Cardinal, USC scored the final 35 points of the game to get an impressive victory over Stanford. After two games, the Trojans are averaging 37 points per game while giving up 21.

The Cougars were expected to lose to #14 Utah in the season opener, and they did so by a score of 30-12. BYU faced Tennessee next, needing double overtime to win by three points. So far, BYU is averaging 20 points for and 27 points against.

The visitors come into this matchup as 3.5-point favorites, and the spread should be even bigger if USC will get a repeat performance out of freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis. In his first career start, Slovis was 28 of 33 for 377 yards, three touchdowns, and no picks.

Although quarterback Zach Wilson was able to lead the Cougars on a game-tying drive before an eventual 2OT win last week, he may have trouble finding time to pick out receivers with an offensive line allowing pressure. Wilson was 19 for 29 with 232 yards and a TD against Tennessee.

Following a win by 20 or more points, USC is 5-2 out of their last seven against the spread.

50* Powerhouse Play on Georgia -32½ -109

The 1-1 Arkansas State Red Wolves face a very tall task Saturday as they go into Athens to take on the #3 Bulldogs of Georgia (2-0).

Arkansas State has been able to put up points so far this season, scoring an average of 36 after scoring 43 in last week’s win over UNLV. With 93 total points through two weeks of play, Georgia has scored even more. With an average of 46 points scored and 11 points allowed per game, Georgia has gotten off to a fast start.

Although the Red Wolves were good against UNLV, they allowed almost 200 yards on the ground. That’s a scary statistic as they come up against a Bulldogs rushing attack that averaged 6.7 yards per attempt and racked up 269 yards last week against Murray State.

Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm hasn’t been lighting up the passing numbers, but he hasn’t needed to. In his first two games, Fromm has thrown for 156 and 166 yards, but only had one incompletion a week ago. If the running game has the success we expect, Fromm could become deadly on play-action passing plays.

Following a win by 20 or more points, Georgia is 14-5 in their last 19 games against the spread.

50* Powerhouse Play on Miami-OH +18½ -110

The Redhawks of Miami of Ohio (1-1) will travel into Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats (1-1) in a noon kickoff on Saturday.

While Miami is coming off a 48-17 trouncing of Tennessee Tech, Cincinnati will be looking for a comeback performance after a dreadful 42-0 defeat at the hands of #5 Ohio State.

With the Redhawks getting 18.5 points in this contest, it’s worth noting that Miami of Ohio lost to #20 Iowa by 24 points. On average, Miami has scored 30 points per game while allowing 27. After the shutout loss, Cincinnati has averaged just 11 points per game while giving up 27.

If Miami is going to keep this game close, they’ll likely need a bigger performance through the air from quarterback Brett Gabbert. In his first two games, the freshman QB threw for 186 and 152 yards. Gabbert provides a threat on the ground as well, but the Redhawks will need his arm against a good Cincinnati defense.

While it’s no surprise that Cincinnati lost to Ohio State, the 42-0 score line was a bit of a shocker for most. Sophomore quarterback Desmond Ridder threw for just 166 yards and a pick against the Buckeyes, and might need a few plays to shake off that rough outing.

Against the spread, Cincinnati is 0-5 coming off a game in which they allowed 40 or more points.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Kansas +21 -115

Boston College has gotten off to a strong 2-0 start after dispatching both Virginia Tech and Richmond. Tonight, the Eagles with host the Kansas Jayhawks (1-1).

While Boston College has been able to put up points, scoring a total of 80 through two weeks of play, Kansas has struggled to do so. After squeaking out a 24-17 win against Indiana State, the Jayhawks managed only seven in a loss to Coastal Carolina.

Under new head coach Les Miles, the Kansas offense is expected to pick up as the season progresses, and the Jayhawks should be able to keep many games close with a defense that’s allowing an average of just 14.5 points per game on the season.

Offensively, Kansas can count on the running duo of Khalil Herbert and Pooka Williams Jr., the latter of whom was one yard shy of triple digits rushing on 22 carries last week.

Allowing an average of 20.5 points, the weakness of this Boston College squad could turn out to be a defensive line that lost plenty of talent from a year ago. However, the Eagles were able to comfortably take down Virginia Tech despite being 4.5-point dogs.

For Kansas, the key to this game will likely be turning the ball over. Boston College quarterback Anthony Brown hasn’t thrown a pick yet this season, but a Jayhawks defense that held Coastal Carolina to just 291 total yards last week could frustrate Brown enough to force the ball into tight windows.

100* Sharp Money Syndicate Play on Arkansas State +1½ -110

Seeking its first 2-0 start in two decades, the UNLV Rebels (1-0) will host the Arkansas State Red Wolves (0-1) Saturday evening in what figures to be a tight matchup.

Despite big passing numbers from its quarterback, Arkansas State lost to SMU by a touchdown at home in Week 1 of the season. Against Southern Utah, UNLV took care of business and won by a score of 56-23.

In their opening game loss, Arkansas State quarterback Logan Bonner threw for 324 yards and four touchdowns, all of which were caught by Omar Bayless. Bayless finished the game with 10 catches for 132 yards, and proved that the Red Wolves have a scary quarterback-receiver combination.

The downfall for Arkansas State in Week 1 came in the form of a kickoff returned for a touchdown and 11 penalties, both of which should be correctable coming into the second game of the season.

Against significantly inferior competition, it’s hard to gauge just how well UNLV can carry over its 534-yard performance against Southern Utah. However, they’ll be hoping for more from Charles Williams, who rushed for 143 yards on 15 carries.

Of UNLV’s last 13 Week 2 games, the Rebels have won only three.
