12-29-17 | Texas A&M v. Wake Forest -3 | 52-55 | Push | 0 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
ASA 9* PLAY ON: Wake Forest (-) vs Texas A & M, Belk Bowl Friday, 1 PM ET - The Aggies finished the season in ugly fashion and now the coaching situation of course is a mess for the bowl game following the firing of head coach Sumlin. His departure was certainly expected and should lead to a brighter future for the Aggies but it certainly won't help them in this match-up with Wake Forest. While Texas A & M wrapped up the season with 3 losses in their last 5 games, the Demon Deacons won 2 of their last 3. Wake Forest was a covering machine as they went 8-3-1 ATS on the year. The Aggies late season slump is unlikely to reverse itself here. Texas A & M is 2-8 ATS when off of a loss versus an SEC foe. The Aggies are also 0-5 SU and ATS when playing with 2 or more weeks between games. The Demon Deacons are a long-term 9-1 ATS in games played on a neutral field. The location here (in Charlotte, NC certainly does favor Wake Forest though. Look for the Demon Deacons to control the ground game in this one as they have averaged only 90 rushing yards per game their last 7 games! Wake Forest averaged 184.2 rushing yards per game on the season! This season, on 4 different occasions. the Demon Deacons put up the most yards their opponent allowed all season! As you can see, the Demon Deacons offense can be quite dynamic and the Aggies are truly trudging into this bowl game. The Aggies went 1-5 SU versus bowl teams this season while the Demon Deacons went 5-4 SU (and 6-2-1 ATS) against bowl teams this season. This one has the makings of a blowout and we'll gladly lay the small points. Bet Wake Forest! |

12-28-17 | Stanford v. TCU -3 | Top | 37-39 | Loss | -109 | 28 h 6 m | Show |
#246 ASA 10* PLAY ON TCU -3 over Stanford, Thursday at 9:00 PM ET – ALAMO BOWL - TCU gets to play in the state of Texas here so they will have the overwhelming crowd advantage in San Antonio. We love looking for teams with a big defensive edge in the bowl games and that’s what we get here. TCU was the 4th best rush defense in the nation holding teams to just 99 YPG on 2.9 YPC. They ranked 18th in total defense nationally and allowed opposing QB to complete just 52% of their passes this year. They held opposing offenses to 122 yards per game below their season averages. Those are fantastic season long numbers and we view them as even better than they might read as they put up those stats in the offensively stout Big 12 which has 4 of the top 19 offenses in the country. This makes a poor match up for Stanford who has a young QB KJ Costello who has played in only 10 games thus far in his college career. While he has been improving and looks to have a bright future, we highly doubt he can carry the load vs this top notch defense. He might have to as Stanford relies on their running game to free him up to pass and that might not happen here facing TCU’s run defense. The only two defenses the Cardinal faced in the Pac 12 that were semi comparable to TCU were Washington & Washington State who are both top 20 defenses. In those two games Stanford averaged only 300 YPG on offense. The Cardinal defense is normally the staple of their team but they are way down this season. They rank 70th or lower in total defense, rush defense, and passing defense. We expect TCU’s offense, with speed and weapons galore, to do very well in this game. The Frogs put up at least 30 points in half their games this season. We also like the fact that TCU was embarrassed by Oklahoma 41-17 in the Big 12 Championship game so they feel as though they have something to prove on both sides of the ball here. Lay this small number with the superior team in a home type venue. |

12-27-17 | Missouri v. Texas +3 | 16-33 | Win | 100 | 26 h 27 m | Show | |
#240 ASA 9* PLAY ON Texas (+) over Missouri, Wednesday at 9:00 PM ET – TEXAS BOWL Missouri comes in hot winning their final 6 games of the season. However, we also feel that makes them a bit overrated coming into this game as keep in mind those 6 wins came against ZERO teams going to bowl games. Not one winning team in the bunch and the combined record of those 6 teams Mizzou topped to end the season was 23-48! In fact, the Tigers were 0-5 this year vs teams that made it to bowl games this season. Their offense has been humming late in the season vs a number of poor defensive units, however they lost their play caller as OC Heupel took the head job at UCF and will not be with the Tigers for this bowl game. This is definitely a situation where the hot team may not be so hot after taking a closer look. This game is being played in Houston which heavily favors the Texas Longhorns. Just a 160 mile trip for the Longhorn fans as they’ll have a huge edge when it comes to the crowd. Texas has plenty of motivation here as a win gives them a winning season and a loss drops them below .500. They are also coming off a disappointing finale, a game in which they led Texas Tech by 10 points in the fourth quarter and lost 27-23. Their head coach Tom Herman has been a fantastic underdog coming in at 15-1 ATS in that role dating back to when he was the offensive coordinator at Ohio State and then head coach at Houston before taking over the Texas program. The Horns have the much better overall defense in this match up and rank 7th nationally in rush defense. Also, while Mizzou didn’t beat a bowl team the entire season as we mentioned, Texas beat 3 (Iowa State, West Virginia, and Kansas State) and played to the wire with others including losing by 3 vs USC, 5 vs Oklahoma and in OT vs Oklahoma State. We like Texas to win this game outright so we’ll grab the points. |

12-26-17 | Northern Illinois +6 v. Duke | 14-36 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
#231 ASA 3* PLAY ON Northern Illinois (+) over Duke, Tuesday at 5:15 PM ET – QUICK LANE BOWL This line was around as low as a 2.5 when bowl odds were first released. Now the line is as high as a 6 in some spots as of gameday morning. The fact is that the Huskies just aren't getting enough respect here. Duke deserves credit for finishing the season strong with a pair of wins to earn a bowl bid. However, Northern Illinois also sat home last bowl season and so they are just as hungry as the Blue Devils here. Also, before winning their final two games, Duke did lose 6 straight. Certainly their special teams play will be impacted in this game as well as the Blue Devils dismissed Austin Parker from the team. Parker was handling both kicking and punting duties for Duke. With that said, the Blue Devils are certainly going to be impacted by the unsettled situation in the kicking and punting game for this one. This bowl game is being played at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan and certainly this is a venue the Huskies are very familiar with because of playing in the MAC. Northern Illinois went 8-4 this season and the location of this game certainly favors them. The Huskies went 3-0 ATS as an underdog this season, 4-0 ATS in non-conference games, and also they are on a 7-1 ATS run in games against teams from the Power 5 conferences. The Huskies long-term run is 6-1 ATS against ACC opponents specifically. Northern Illinois has a solid run defense allowing just 2.8 yards per carry this season. Comparatively, Duke's run defense allowed 4.1 yards per carry. Also, the Blue Devils rushing attack was held to 111 yards or less in 5 of their last 6 games. Northern Illinois ran for 185 yards or more in 5 of its last 7 games. We like underdogs that hold the edge on both sides of the ground game and that is definitely the case here! The Huskies continue to be undervalued and we like Northern Illinois to win this game outright so we'll gladly grab the points! |

12-24-17 | Houston v. Fresno State +2 | 27-33 | Win | 100 | 53 h 14 m | Show | |
#228 ASA 9* PLAY ON Fresno State (+) over Houston, Sunday at 8:30 PM ET – HAWAII BOWL We always like to keep an eye on defensive dogs during the bowl season and that’s what we have here. Fresno State has one of the top defenses in college football allowing just 319 YPG ranking 16th in the nation. The Bulldog defense allows a full 98 yards less per game than Houston’s stop unit. They have allowed more than 21 points only 3 times the entire year and two of those games were vs Alabama & Washington. The Bulldogs looked great to close out the season playing Boise State on back to back Saturdays (season finale + conference championship) holding the Broncos to just 17 points in each game. They topped Boise 28-17 in the first meeting on November 25th and then lost @ Boise in the MWC Championship Game 17-14 a week later. Those results look even more impressive after Boise went to the Las Vegas Bowl and waxed a good Oregon team a week ago. After losing @ Bama and @ Washington early in the year, Fresno won 8 of their final 10 games to close out the season. Their defense allowed 5 YPP or less in 8 of their last 10 games which is extremely good. Houston’s offense relies on the run to set everything up and Fresno’s defense ranks 15th nationally vs the run. Houston’s offense is definitely down this year compared to their past few seasons as offensive guru and former head coach Tom Herman moved on to Texas. They are averaging 28 PPG which is down over a TD from the past 2 seasons. The Cougs inserted King at QB late in the season and while he put up decent yardage they were held to 28 or less in 3 of their last 4 games and 2 of those games game against terrible defenses (ECU & Tulane). Another positive for FSU is this is a familiar venue for the Dogs. They picked up a win here in mid November so this is a been there done that spot. Houston, on the other hand, has never played in this bowl game and don’t be surprised if their players go into vacation mode on the islands. Fresno has been an underdog 6 times this year and covered all 6. The Bulldogs continue to be undervalued and we like Fresno to win this game.  |

12-23-17 | Army v. San Diego State -6.5 | Top | 42-35 | Loss | -108 | 42 h 10 m | Show |
ASA PLAY ON 10* San Diego State -6.5 over Army, Saturday at 3:30 PM ET The key to Army’s offensive success is not only running the option proficiently, but also making opposing defenses prepare for an offense they are not used to seeing on short notice. Two things are working against the Cadets here, one is the fact that SDSU has had a month off to prepare for the option and the other is Aztec head coach Rocky Long is as good as any defensive mind when it comes to slowing down the option. Long has won 11 of the last 12 times his teams have faced an option based offense and this will be the 3rd option team they have faced this year alone - they were 2-0 in those games. In those games the San Diego State defense held Air Force to 220 yards on 60 carries (just 3.7 YPC) which was 90 yards and a full 1.1 YPC below their season average. They also stopped the other option attack they faced this season, New Mexico, with just 82 yards rushing on 34 carries (2.4 YPC) which was 153 yards and a whopping 3.0 YPC below the Lobos season averages. It wasn’t a fluke as the Aztec defense ranks 8th nationally this season at stopping the run which is a terrible match up for Army as they run the ball 91% of the time which is more than anyone in the country. If the Cadets can’t dominate the ground game they are in big trouble offensively as they average only 30 YPG passing which is dead last in college football, a full 50 yards behind the next worst passing offense. On the other side of the ball, San Diego State is very good at running the ball (253 YPG) and they have one of the top RB’s in the nation in Rashaad Penny who has put up over 2,000 yards on the ground on 7.4 YPC. They should move the ball very efficiently on the ground facing an Army defense that simply isn’t very good allowing 5.0 YPC. While we fully expect SDSU to move the ball on the ground, they also have a solid QB Christian Chapman who ranks 33rd nationally in passing efficiency and has thrown 31 TD’s and just 9 interceptions in his two years as the Aztec starter. SDSU is 9-2 on the year with their only losses coming at the hands of Fresno St & Boise St, both bowl teams. They’ve knocked off 2 very good Pac 12 teams this year beating Stanford and Arizona State. Army had three losses on the season to Ohio State, Tulane, and North Texas and 5 of their 9 wins came by 5 points or less. These two teams have a very comparable strength of schedule, yet San Diego State had MUCH better overall seasonal numbers. The Aztecs averaged 6.2 yards per play while allowing just 5.1 for a differential of +1.1 YPP. Army averaged 6.1 YPP but allowed 6.2 YPP for a negative YPP differential. While State has had a month off, Army upset Navy just two weeks ago which was huge for them. That upset was definitely bigger than actually winning a bowl game for this team so this one could be a letdown for the Cadets. San Diego State is the better team in the better spot and we like them to win by double digits. |

12-22-17 | Central Michigan +3.5 v. Wyoming | 14-37 | Loss | -115 | 47 h 53 m | Show | |
#219 ASA 9* PLAY ON Central Michigan +3.5 over Wyoming, Friday at 4:00 PM ET - Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Wyoming is a banged up team. It has been an issue all season long and it continues heading into this bowl game. Of course the biggest name of all is QB Josh Allen. He wants to play in this game and likely will but the Cowboys star QB is not 100% with his shoulder that is for sure. Playing in chilly Boise will be nothing new for Allen as he is certainly use to some cold weather games in Wyoming. However, the cold is certainly not going to help his shoulder. Temperatures are expected to be right around freezing and then dropping below that as the game goes on. The fact is that the Cowboys star QB also doesn't have great weapons around him and that is another reason Wyoming averaged only 22.3 points and 286.9 yards per game this season. Central Michigan, like Wyoming, is certainly use to cold weather and they're also use to playing on turf. In our opinion the Chippewas have a huge edge on offense. They averaged nearly 30 points per game and 400 yards per game on the season. The Chips certainly have the edge at the skill positions like RB and WR and they also, arguably, have the QB edge right now because of Allen's injury. The Chippewas QB, Shane Morris, was a transfer from Michigan and though he never blossomed with the Wolverines he certainly was able to put up impressive numbers after stepping down in level of competition. Morris threw for nearly 3,000 yards this season plus had 26 TDs against 13 INTs. Central Michigan was embarrassed badly in last year's bowl action (55-16) against Tulsa. They have badly wanted this chance at redemption and the Chippewas won 5 straight games in getting to this point. While the Chips come into this game hot, the Cowboys finished the season scoring a total of just 24 points in their last two games (both defeats) and that included a season finale loss against a bad San Jose State team. Grab the points with Central Michigan in this one! |

12-20-17 | Louisiana Tech +4.5 v. SMU | 51-10 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
#213 ASA PLAY ON 9* Louisiana Tech vs SMU, Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET – FRISCO BOWL The Mustangs are going through a coaching change with Sonny Dykes now the head man. That creates intrigue here as the coach currently with the Bulldogs, Skip Holtz, is whom replaced him at Louisiana Tech 5 years ago! With that said, Dykes is going against his former team here but truly he is unlikely to have much influence on this game. The new SMU head coach is letting the assistants handle most of the duties here as he was only hired a little over a week ago. We feel this creates some problems for the Mustangs with all the changes going on and it certainly won't help a defense that ranked among the worst in the nation this season for points per game (35.5) and yards per game (486.7). On the other sidelines for this one, it was only a few weeks ago that the Bulldogs sat at 4-6 on the season so they've been in must win mode for awhile now. They were hungry to earn this bowl berth and did just that with two big wins (combined score of 62 to 27) to close the regular season. When Louisiana Tech is off of back to back wins the results have been strong as they've gone 8-3 SU in this situation. The Mustangs are 1-4 SU in games played on grass in recent seasons. The biggest edge SMU has is an explosive offense with good speed but the grass helps to slow them down here and negate that edge. Couple that with the coaching transition and facing a hungry Bulldogs team that is from the neighboring state of Louisiana and the edges for SMU just are not there for the Mustangs in this one despite the game being played very close to home for them. Grab the points with the underdog in this one as they are poised for the upset and, at a minimum, should stay within the number. |

12-02-17 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +6 | 27-21 | Push | 0 | 29 h 25 m | Show | |
#328 ASA PLAY ON 9* Wisconsin (+) over Ohio State, Saturday at 8:00 PM ET The Badgers continue to be disrespected despite their 12-0 record. They are sitting a nearly a full TD underdog vs an OSU team that has 2 losses including a loss at home to Oklahoma and a road destruction @ Iowa 55-24, the same Hawkeye team that didn’t score an offensive TD on Wisconsin the following week. This is a perfect situation for Wisconsin to be in. People are doubting them and they love sitting in that role. We know what we’ll get from this team. An all out effort, a solid running game, and a great defense which now ranks #1 in the nation giving up only 137 YPG. They haven’t waivered from that at all this season while OSU has been all over the board on a week to week basis – looking great one week and bad or just so-so the next. We trust the Badgers much more in this spot especially since they are getting significant points. Many are pointing to the Big Ten Championship game two years ago when the Buckeyes crushed UW 59-0. That Wisconsin team wasn’t nearly as good as this one, plus they were in disarray entering the game as then head coach Gary Andersen already had one foot out the door to Oregon State. They weren’t prepared and it was obvious immediately. This team is the direct opposite of that one. Let’s not forget last year game vs these two teams that went to OT and Wisconsin outgained OSU 450 to 411 but lost. Both of those games will have this team chomping at the bit in this game. The Buckeyes thrive when they can bury teams early with their explosive offense. That won’t happen here against Wisconsin’s defense. On top of that their QB Barrett has a banged up knee and while he will play he is NOT at 100%. On the other side, Wisconsin will try and control the clock and we think they will, especially in the 2nd half when their offensive line tends to wear teams down. OSU is not used to being in a game like that. These teams played 6 common opponents this year and their overall stats were nearly identical. OSU was +22 PPG / +215 YPG / +1.9 yards per play vs those teams with a 5-1 record. Wisconsin was 6-0 vs those common opponents and +21 PPG / +187 YPG / +2.0 yards per play. We feel OSU is being overvalued in this game AND Wisconsin is being undervalued setting up a very poor line. The underdog has covered EVERY (7-0 ATS) Big Ten Championship game. This is the first time Wisky has been an underdog this season and they have thrived in that role going 14-5 ATS as a dog dating back to 2009. Badgers will be highly motivated after blowing a big lead last year losing tight to PSU and getting rolled by OSU here two years ago. This one goes to the wire and we like the points and Wisconsin here. |

#303 ASA PLAY ON 9* Stanford (+) over USC, Friday at 9:00 PM ET - The Cardinal were hoping for this rematch. In fact, after getting whipped by USC way back on September 9th 42-24 this team was devastated in the locker room after the game when senior TE Dalton Schultz stood up and told his teammates they would meet the Trojans again in the Pac 12 Championship game. Well they got their wish and you can guarantee this team will be more than ready for this one. On top of that, Stanford is playing very well right now. They’ve won 8 of their last 9 games with their only loss during that stretch coming @ Washington State by a field goal. Two of their last three wins came over Washington and Notre Dame, two of the top teams in the country. The Stanford rush defense was completely embarrassed in that first match up allowing 307 YPG on the ground – a season high. The Stanford rush defense has improved drastically since that debacle and held very good rushing teams well below their average down the stretch. Last week Notre Dame put up only 154 yards on the ground and they average 279 YPG. Washington averages 190 YPG rushing and Stanford held the Huskies to 135. Offensively this team looks much different from the first meeting as well. The QB in that game was Keller Chryst who has since been benched in favor of KJ Costello who has been solid especially as of late throwing 5 TD’s and just 1 pick his last 3 games. He has made their offense much more diverse as he complements the running game with All American RB Love very well. USC is talented but they were up and down all season long. We have these teams rated very close to even and when you look at comparable opponents, you’d see why. While this is not a home game for Stanford, it is just a 15 minute drive from their Campus to Levi’s Stadium so edge to the Cardinal there as well. We also give a coaching advantage to David Shaw over USC’s Helton. Shaw is 10-3 ATS as an underdog since 2011 and we like Stanford to win this game. |

11-25-17 | Georgia -11 v. Georgia Tech | 38-7 | Win | 100 | 20 h 58 m | Show | |
#167 ASA PLAY ON 8* Georgia (-) over Georgia Tech, Saturday at 12 PM ET Tech looked like one of the better teams in the ACC coming into the conference season and won their first two league games over Pitt & UNC. However, they have since lost 4 of their last 6 games to drop to 5-5 overall for the season. Last Saturday they were crushed 43-20 at Duke playing against a Blue Devil team that simply playing terrible football losing 6 straight entering that game. We know that the Yellow Jackets MUST be able to run successfully in order to have any chance to win. They complete an average of just 4 passes per game. Problem for them in this game is, the Bulldogs have one of the best front 7’s in college football. They are very good against the run holding teams to just 3.4 YPC and they have held 6 of their 10 opponents to less than 100 yards rushing. It can be tough defending Tech’s quirky offense if you’re not used to it. UGA is. These teams play each other every year and Georgia has held GT under their rushing average in 6 of the last 7 meetings. While we feel the Bulldogs will slow down Tech’s rushing attack, the question is, can the Jackets stop UGA on the ground? We don’t think so. UGA averages just under 270 YPG and has two of the top RB’s in the nation. Georgia Tech is allowing a full YPC more than the Dawgs and Duke gashed this defense for over 300 yards on the ground last week. That was a Duke rushing attack that ranked below 60th nationally in rushing heading into last week’s game. UGA averages 6.6 YPP while giving up only 4.5 YPP (+2.1 YPP differential). Tech averages 5.9 YPP and gives up 5.3 YPP (+0.6 YPP differential). Georgia is simply the much better team and they have a little extra motivation after a rare loss to Tech last season (25-24) final score. UGA had won 13 of the previous 15 meetings coming into the game. Georgia has covered the last 8 times they’ve traveled to Tech and the road team is 14-2-1 ATS the last 17 in this series. We look for UGA to roll up a big win on Saturday. |

11-24-17 | Virginia Tech v. Virginia +7.5 | 10-0 | Loss | -130 | 53 h 58 m | Show | |
#120 ASA 9* PLAY ON Virginia (+) over Virginia Tech, Friday at 8:00 PM ET - Tech looks like they were a bit over rated early in the season as they were pounding poor competition. The last 3 weeks we’ve seen their true identity as they were thumped @ Miami, lost @ Georgia Tech and then struggled at home to get by Pitt last week 20-14. They are struggling offensively as they have averaged only 19 PPG over their last 4 games and freshman QB Jackson has thrown only 1 TD in his last 3 games. The Hokies are now playing their 3rd road game in 4 weeks and they have not beaten a single ACC team that currently has a winning record in conference play. UVA played very well last week @ Miami. They jumped out to a 14-0 lead and outgained Miami by 80 yards in the game but a Hurricane pick 6 in the 3rd quarter turned the momentum and got the game back to even. Miami went onto win 44-26 but the game was MUCH closer than that. This is a huge home finale for the Cavs. They currently sit at 6-5 and a win here gives them their first winning record since 2011 which was a team goal entering the season. They also have been waiting for this rematch after their embarrassing performance last year @ Va Tech (a 52-10 loss). We realize VT has dominated this series with UVA’s last win coming in 2003, however the Cavs know they have a GREAT shot to end that streak this year and they’ll bring everything they have here. The host has covered 4 straight in this series and even if Virginia doesn’t get the outright win (we think they have a great shot at it), we expect it to be close and getting a full TD as a cushion here. |

#372 ASA PLAY ON 9* Oregon State (+) over Arizona State, 3PM ET - In a showdown between two ugly Pac12 teams we like the home dog here getting a full TD. Home/road dichotomy have a lot to do with this wager as OSU has been competitive at home since they fired head coach Gary Anderson. As a +9.5 point home dog to Colorado they lost a tight game 33-36 but outgained the Buffs by 184 total yards. The following week they hosted a good Stanford team and lost 14-15 as an 18-point dog but were plus 42 yards on the game. Two horrible road losses the past two weeks at Cal and Arizona have forced the oddsmakers to over-adjust the number this week. Arizona State is playing their second straight road game and have their biggest rival on deck in Arizona. The Sun Devils have one road win this season and haven't been favored away yet this season. OSU has covered six straight in the series and we like them to cover here as the home pooch. Beavers also 8-3 ATS last 11 at home. Grab the points. |

They topped Purdue here last week 23-13 and this will be their 4th home game in the last 5 weeks. We feel they are catching Minnesota in a great spot here. The Gophs crushed Nebraska at home last week in a game the Husker simply quit in the 2nd half. The Nebraska players have had a disappointing season and they know their coach is gone in a few weeks. The Gophs are 0-3 on the road in the Big Ten losing all 3 games by at least a TD. They have been outgained by 400 yards in those 3 road losses. The Gophers also are extremely one dimensional on offense right now as their ground game is key. QB Croft is not a great passer and has completed only 5, 9, 5, and 9 passes his last 4 games. That plays right into Northwestern’s hands as they rank 2nd in the Big Ten in rush defense allowing just 109 YPG on 3.2 YPG (behind only Wisconsin). We see Minnesota having difficulty moving the ball consistently in this game. On top of that, this is the 3rd road game in 4 weeks for the Gophs which is the opposite of what we mentioned for NW’s schedule above as they’ve been at home for the most part. We like Northwestern to win this game by double digits. |

9* Iowa (+) over Wisconsin – The Hawkeyes finally broke through offensively last week scoring 55 points on a very good OSU defense. While we don’t expect them to go wild again here on Wisconsin’s defense, their performance last week was promising as they probably won’t need to score much here to get the cover. A low scoring game is expected here (total is set at 46) which adds value to the hefty dog in this game. Just like Wisconsin, Iowa’s defense is their strength. You can bet they’ll do everything they can here to take the Badger running game away and make Badger QB Hornibrook beat them. He has not shown the ability to do that and in fact has had some ill timed turnovers the last few weeks. On top of that, his favorite WR target, Quintez Cephus, was injured in their game @ Indiana last week and is out for the season. Iowa has shown the ability to beat or at least stay close to the top teams on their schedule. The beat Ohio State last week, beat Iowa State on the road, lost by 2 at home to PSU, and lost by a TD @ MSU. They’ve played tough against good teams for years as the Hawkeyes are 15-4-1 ATS the last 20 times they’ve been tabbed a double digit underdog. We expect Wisconsin to pull out a close one but Iowa covers this game. |

11-11-17 | NC State v. Boston College +3 | 17-14 | Push | 0 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
9* Boston College (+) over NC State – Situationally, this game heavily favors BC. They had last week off and head coach Steve Addazio said it was a great week off as his guys were able get better both physically and rest mentally. NC State, on the other hand, is coming off back to back, tough, physical battles with Notre Dame & Clemson, both losses. They’ve been physically pounded up front allowing over 500 yards rushing the last two games. Their loss at home to Clemson last week makes it very tough for the Wolfpack to win their half of the ACC. BC has been rolling winning 4 of their last 5 games including a win @ Louisville and a 35-3 win here over Florida State two weeks ago. QB Anthony Brown is rounding into a star and the Eagles have been crushing teams on the ground rushing for 241, 237, and 364 yards over their last 3 games. That could be a problem vs a beaten up NC State defensive front. The Wolfpack RB’s are banged up and not 100% which will put a lot of pressure on QB Finley here. BC has given NC State all kinds of problems winning 3 of the last 4 meetings and 4 of the last 6. We’ll take the points here and look for BC to win this one outright |

#414 ASA PLAY ON 9* Alabama (-) over LSU, Saturday at 8 PM ET - This is the highest number in this series since 1993 and there is a reason for it. Bama is a far superior team. LSU is on a nice 3 game winning streak, however 2 of those wins came against Florida & Ole Miss who are currently lower tier SEC teams. They did have a nice win over Auburn but that game was at home. So while this LSU team does look better than the one that lost at home to Troy and lost by 30 points @ Mississippi State, they are not close to Bama’s caliber. The Tide have beaten their 8 opponents by an average score of 43-9. At home they have squashed their 3 SEC opponents by scores of 66-3, 41-9, and 45-7. They have outgained those 3 teams (Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Arkansas) by a combined 1,125 yards! Bama also picked up a little extra motivator this week when the College Playoff committee ranked them 2nd in the nation behind UGA. Saban hasn’t been opposed to running up scores and that slight disrespectful move will have him ready to do so here if he gets the chance. Huge edge on both sides of the ball for the home team here. Bama has allowed only one team all season to reach 20 points. LSU has allowed 5 of their last 6 opponents to top 20. The Tide has scored at least 40 in six of their eight games this season. LSU has done so just once (not including FCS opponents). Alabama has won 13 straight home games by at least 18 points and we think this one gets ugly. |

#363 ASA PLAY ON 8* Auburn (-) over @ Texas A&M, Noon ET - The difference between these two programs has been quite clear recently and it appears the Aggies might be heading towards their late season swoon as per usual. Auburn has two losses this season at Clemson and at LSU but still can be considered one of the best overall teams in college football. The Tigers have destroyed SEC competition this year by outgaining five opponents by nearly 700 total yards of offense and outscoring those teams by 37, 39, 21 and 32 points. Their lone loss was by 4 in Baton Rouge. A&M meanwhile has a negative overall point differential against SEC competition of -13PPG and have been outgained by their last three SEC foes by a total of 239 yards. These two teams have played two common opponents this season in Arkansas and Mississippi State. The Tigers beat those two teams by 39 and 32 points. The Aggies beat a bad Arkansas team by 7 in OT and were beaten by 21 at home last Saturday versus the Bulldogs. Auburn had last week off and are rested and looking for payback here after losing to A&M last year. The rushing advantages clearly favor the Tigers as does the rush defense. The road team is on a 5-0 SU and ATS streak in this rivalry. Lay the points. |

#378 ASA PLAY ON 8* Vanderbilt (-) over Western Kentucky, Saturday at Noon ET - Vanderbilt takes a huge step down in competition here taking on Western Kentucky at home. Vandy’s last 2 home games were vs Alabama and Georgia who are currently the top 2 teams in the College Playoff poll. They also should be fairly well rested coming off a bye just 2 weeks ago. Last Saturday the lost a tight one @ South Carolina 34-27 and they outgained the Gamecocks 440 to 386. The Commodores now sit at 3-5 which makes this a must win if they want to have a chance to get back to a bowl game as they start up with SEC opponents again next week. While Vandy has been facing off against some of the top teams in college football, WKU has not. In fact, three of their last four games have come against the likes of Old Dominion, Charlotte, and UTEP who rank 117th, 125th and 128th respectively in Football Outsiders rankings. Charlotte was the only team in that group the Hilltoppers handled with ease, the other two games went to the wire. WKU’s road games have been less than impressive. They’ve played 3 games on the road vs Illinois (ranked 114th by Football Outsiders), UTEP, and Old Dominion. They lost by 13 @ Illinois, beat UTEP by 1, and beat Old Dominion by 4. They were outgained in all three games. The highest ranked team that WKU has played this year is FAU (35th) and that was at home last weekend. They lost that game 42-28 and were outrushed by 270 yards! This will be the Toppers 5th straight game since their bye and off last week’s loss which essentially eliminated them from winning the CUSA East division, we think they get thumped here. |

#368 ASA PLAY ON 8* Indiana (+) over Wisconsin, Saturday at NOON ET - Both teams come into this one a bit banged up. Wisconsin might be without their top RB Jonathan Taylor and top WR Quintez Cephus. Even if Taylor plays it doesn’t sound like he’ll be 100% and our guess is the coaches will be very careful with him. He is a true freshman that had taken a lot of hits and they need him down the stretch. This offense is not nearly as potent without Taylor. Their back up RB’s Groshek and Shaw are decent, but definitely not game breakers. That showed up last weekend when the Badgers played the 2nd half without Taylor and were terrible. They had only 102 yards and 7 points in the 2nd half and didn’t cross midfield in the 2nd half until there was under 8:00 minutes remaining. And that was against Illinois who is the worst team in the Big Ten. IU’s defense has improved dramatically compared to previous years and if Wisky isn’t at full strength they will struggle in this game. IU lost by 3 points @ Maryland last week but outgained the Terps by 140 yards. A few big special teams plays were the difference in that game. IU has played the toughest schedule in the Big Ten so their 0-5 conference mark doesn’t tell the whole story. Besides Maryland, they’ve played Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State, and Michigan. Their two home games in conference play they took Michigan to OT and led Ohio State late in the 3rd quarter before falling apart. If starting QB Ramsey can’t go (he is questionable), they will start Ragow who actually was the starter until a few weeks ago so not a huge if any drop off. We think this one plays close throughout and we like Indiana to get the cover.  |

ASA play on: Northern Illinois (-7) over Eastern Michigan, 7PM ET Thursday - EMU has kicked, clawed and scratched through the season but unfortunately have just 2 wins to show for it. Eastern Michigan started the season well by beating Charlotte and Rutgers to open the season, who are the 83rd and 123rd ranked teams in the country. Since then the Eagles have since lost five close games in a row by 7 in OT, 4, 5, 1 and most recently by 3-points in OT to their biggest rival Western Michigan. Eventually that effort just isn't there and an emotionally beaten team can't compete which is the case tonight. EMU is playing their 4th road game in five weeks, off their biggest rival and have a short week to prepare for a road game at NIU. Northern Illinois comes into this game of an easy win over Bowling Green and on a 3-game winning streak. The Huskies have a huge advantage in the running game tonight as they average 195.6RYPG and 4.3 yards per carry. Eastern Michigan averages just 93.9RYPG and a paltry 3.0YPR. These two teams have played comparable schedules yet Northern's defense allows a full yard less per play. NIU has outgained their last four foes by an average of 142 yards per game The Huskies have beaten the Eagles 9 straight times and all but one have been by less than 7-points. We are laying a premium price but it's worth it in this scenario. BET NORTHERN ILLINOIS. |

#218 ASA PLAY ON 9* San Diego State (-) over Boise State, Saturday at 10:30 PM ET San Diego State is off to their first 6-0 start since 1975 and they’ve been impressive getting there. Their games include two wins over Pac 12 foes beating Arizona State on the road and Stanford at home. Their 20-17 home win over Stanford was even more impressive than it might have looked as they outgained the Cardinal by over 100 yards with 12 more first downs. Aztec RB Penny, second in the nation in rushing yards, put up 175 yards on the ground in that one vs a very good Stanford defense. So while Boise’s stop unit is good, don’t expect them to slow down Penny. Boise is not the Boise of old. They already have lost 2 of their first 5 games including a home blowout loss (42-23) to a pretty average Virginia team. In their most recent game, the Broncos beat a bad BYU team 24-7 but it wasn’t a dominating performance as the outgained the Cougars by just 60 yards. That’s the same BYU team that has been outgained by at least 197 years 3 times already this season. SDSU has a huge edge on the ground here averaging 223 YPG to just 126 for Boise. Not to mention we expect the Aztec defense (allows just 3.5 YPC) to shut down what little run game Boise has. That throws it on the shoulders for Bronco QB Rypien (1 TD and 3 interceptions this year) and he simply isn’t good enough to carry the load. Getting the Aztecs under a TD is a gift here. Lay it with San Diego State. |

#210 ASA PLAY ON 9* Minnesota (+) over Michigan State, Saturday at 8:00 PM ET MSU is in a terrible spot here. They are coming off a huge road win over arch rival Michigan last weekend. The Wolverines gave that 14-10 game to Sparty with a whopping 5 turnovers (0 for MSU). That was the third huge game in a row for the Spartans (Notre Dame, Iowa, and Michigan) and they are bound to have a letdown here. Minnesota really needs this win. They started the season a perfect 3-0 but have since lost back to back games to start the Big Ten vs Maryland and Purdue. Their loss to Maryland was tight as the Terps scored the winning TD with just 2:00 minutes remaining in the Gophs 31-24 loss. Last week @ Purdue, the Gophers lost 31-17 but that was extremely deceiving. Minnesota actually led 17-16 with under 1:30 remaining in the game. The MSU offense has been fairly pedestrian scoring 18, 17, and 14 points their last 3 games. We don’t expect them to be good enough offensively to run away with this one. We look for a close game and give Minnesota a good shot to win. Even if they don’t they can still cover this one. The Gophs have covered 11 of the last 15 in this series and we like them to do just that again this year. Take Minnesota at home. |

#126 ASA PLAY ON 9* Army (-) over Eastern Michigan, Saturday at 12 PM ET We like Army as a short home favorite over Eastern Michigan and predict a 14-point win here by the Black Knights. We’ll start by saying this. Eastern Michigan is vastly improved this year and better than the 6-win team they were a season ago. The Eagles are 2-3 SU this season and have the 20th ranked overall defensive unit in college football. But three of EMU’s opponents rank 105 or worse (out of 130) in total offense so in reality their fantastic defensive statistics are drastically skewed. The Eagles offense has struggled this year and rank 97th in the country in total offense. When it comes to the running game the Eagles average just 74.2YPG rushing which is 126th in NCAAF. Army has a huge advantage when it come to the running game with the 4th best rush ‘O’ in college football at 344.6YPG. The Black Knights are better than their overall statistics this season and have only been outgained by one of their opponents this season which was Ohio State. Eastern Michigan is in a horrible scheduling situation here as they were in an all-out battle last week against @Toledo, now travel to Army to face the triple option flex offense that is difficult to prepare for. This will also mark the Eagles third straight road game AND they have their biggest rival on deck in Western Michigan. Army was a 15-point favorite over Buffalo earlier this year and won 21-17. Buffalo ranks higher than EMU in our ratings and you can see for yourself the value in the line. |

10-14-17 | BYU v. Mississippi State -23.5 | 10-35 | Win | 100 | 19 h 29 m | Show | |
#186 ASA 9* PLAY ON Mississippi State (-) over BYU, Saturday at 12 PM ET We love this spot for the Bulldogs. They are rested coming off a bye and will be fully focused on this game for a few different reasons. First of all, going into the bye MSU lost @ Georgia and @ Auburn. Two straight losses should have them extra hungry here. Also nothing terrible about those losses as we are seeing UGA is probably a top 5 team and Auburn a top 10 team. Secondly, the Dogs lost @ BYU last year 28-21 in overtime. It was a game in which MSU had more first downs and more total yardage but lost. Their QB Fitzgerald, who is the starter again this year, had a poor game completing under 50% of his passes with 2 interceptions. You can bet he’s been waiting for this game. Before their two losses to Georgia and Auburn, the Bulldogs outscored their first 3 opponents 143-28. That included a 37-7 home win over LSU. No fluke in that game as they outgained the Tigers by nearly 200 yards. Speaking of the LSU Tigers, BYU just happened to play them as well this year. That was a 27-0 BYU loss and the Cougs were outgained by almost 400 yards. Put those numbers side by side of their one comparable opponent and there is no comparison. BYU’s offense is bad. They have been held to 13 points or less in 4 of their 5 games and they rank 2nd to last in college football in total offense (231 YPG). Their starting QB Tanner Mangum is not at 100% with a bad ankle. He was noticeably favoring his leg in their most recent 24-7 home loss to Boise State. If he isn’t effective or can’t go, BYU will call on freshman Critchlow who had his redshirt pulled last week and threw 4 passes vs Boise. Against a solid SEC defense, this BYU offense will do very little again this week. An early 12 PM ET start for a west coast team isn’t conducive either. This has the makings of a blowout. Lay it. |

#141 ASA 9* PLAY ON Michigan (-) over Indiana, Saturday at 12 PM ET You think Michigan will be ready for this one coming off their loss to MSU last weekend? We think so. First off, the Wolverines really did outplay the Spartans last week. They lost 14-10 but had a whopping 5 turnovers in the game. One of those led directly to an MSU TD and another was a fumble at the 1-yard line going into score. Those obviously loom large in a 4 point game. Indiana is off a 27-0 win vs Charleston Southern. The Hoosiers made a switch at QB in that game and started true freshman Peyton Ramsey in place of Richard Lagow who started last year and their first 4 games this season. Ramsey looked good but that was against Charleston Southern. How will that translate this week? Not good. A true freshman making his 2nd career start vs an angry and very good Michigan defense (#1 in the nation in total defense) is not a recipe for success. Michigan’s offense struggle last week with John O’Korn at QB but you can bet Harbaugh made some tweaks this week and they will be much better. We envision this one going as the Michigan game @ Purdue went. The Boilers hung around for a while but couldn’t score (only 10 points). The Wolverines started to wear Purdue down in the 2nd half and pulled away for a 28-10 win. Michigan has absolutely dominated IU winning 28 of the last 29 meetings. This is a very manageable line and we like Michigan to win by double digits. |

#408 ASA 10* TOP PLAY ON: Texas Longhorns (-) over Kansas State, 7 PM ET - Sometimes long-term trends are so well-known that they actually create big value in the other direction when the situation is right and that is precisely the case here. Kansas State, under head coach Bill Snyder, has long been known as a great play on team when they are a road dog. However, in this particular case, they are in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Longhorns have played a much tougher schedule than the Wildcats have so far this season but certainly they won't be worn down here. Remember the great game the Longhorns played against USC earlier this season? That was in mid-September and was followed by a bye week. Then last week Texas finally played again and it was a Thursday game (solid win at Iowa State) so they do have a rest edge over a Kansas State team that played on Saturday. The Wildcats got the win over Baylor Saturday but the Bears have been dreadful this season. That's noteworthy because the Wildcats other wins have come over Central Arkansas and Charlotte! Kansas State lost their only tough game (Vanderbilt) and certainly the Commodores are not comparable to the Southern Cal team that the Longhorns went toe to toe with. Texas got surprised by Maryland in the season opener which proved to be a wake up call, and a good thing for the Horns. Since that loss, the Longhorns are on a perfect 3-0 ATS run. The rush defense of the Longhorns has been fantastic (41 yards per game) in their last 3 games and has allowed under 100 yards per game on the season which is 15th best in the nation. That is a major problem for K-State which averages 43 rushes per game (32nd in the country) and 243RYPG (16th). But the Wildcats impressive rushing stats are very misleading as they’ve faced Baylor (120th in rush D), Vandy (116th) and Charlotte (93rd). Kansas State to have to try and beat the Longhorns through the air with a passing attack that is averaging just 128 passing yards per game against FBS schools (Central Arkansas is an FCS school) and is 122nd out of 130 schools. The Cats are going to struggle to move the ball here and they only scored 7 points in their lone road game this season while UT has put up 97 points in their two home games this year. Home team has covered 5 straight....Look for a home blowout in this one. |

10-07-17 | Southern Miss +13 v. UTSA | 31-29 | Win | 100 | 26 h 48 m | Show | |
#351 PLAY ON 9* Southern Mississippi (+) over UTSA, 7 PM ET - UTSA is off of their bye week but that truly is not a good thing in this case. The Roadrunners were rolling to a perfect 3-0 start and oftentimes a bye can let the air out of the sails of a team that had been rolling along. Not only that but the bigger factor here is the fact that UTSA has played a very weak schedule thus far. Their win over Baylor has become less impressive now that it is evident just how the Bears football program has fallen. Additionally, the Runners other two wins have come against Southern and against Texas State. The fact is that UTSA has now been over-valued due to their hot start and the Southern team that UTSA beat 51-17 is the same team that Southern Mississippi annihilated 45-0 earlier this season. Southern Miss also lost to an SEC team, Kentucky, by just a TD in their very first game this season. The Golden Eagles have played a tougher schedule in comparison with the Roadrunners and what truly shows you that an over-adjustment has taken place is that Southern Miss was a 9 point dog versus Kentucky, an SEC school, and now comes in as a double digit dog against a Conference USA school that really hasn't beaten anybody of note yet! The Golden Eagles also have revenge from a 23-point loss at UTSA last year that was a very deceiving final score as Southern Mississippi did out-gain the Roadrunners in that game! Payback time has arrived and the Golden Eagles are catching UTSA at the perfect time as the Roadrunners are feeling a little too good about themselves after the 3-0 start and they come out of the bye week over-confident and not fully realizing the fight they're going to have on their hands here! The Golden Eagles are 11-4 ATS the last 15 times they've been a road dog in a range of 10.5 to 14 points. This is a big dog value spot for the Golden Eagles against an over-rated host. |

10-07-17 | Miami-FL -2.5 v. Florida State | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 22 h 16 m | Show | |
#417 - ASA PLAY ON 8* Miami Hurricanes (-) over Florida State, 3:30 PM ET - The visitor has covered 9 of the last 11 meetings between these teams and, while one could argue that the defenses of these teams rate as roughly equal, the comparison doesn't hold true on the other side of the ball. The Hurricanes are averaging 515.3 yards per game on offense while the Seminoles are averaging just 300.7 yards per game. Florida State barely got by Wake Forest last week and actually scored the game-winning touchdown with under a minute to go. The Noles have allowed 4.5 sacks per game their last two games while the Canes defense has recorded 4.5 sacks per game in their last two games. Miami is on a 14-5 ATS run as a favorite and, included within that stellar record is a sparkling mark of 6-1 ATS as a road favorite. Florida State has won the past two meetings, including a one point win at Miami last season, and the Hurricanes have the added edge of an extra day off as their big win at Duke last week was a Friday game. This is a huge revenge game for Miami and a solid spot to bet them as a small road fave. |

10-05-17 | Louisville v. NC State +4 | 25-39 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
PLAY ON: NC STATE (+4) over Louisville, 7PM ET Thursday - The wrong team is favored in this game and we predict a solid win by the home team Wolfpack here. NC State is a few bad plays away from being 5-0 right now but a terrible home loss to South Carolina in the opener has spoiled that perfect start. NC State had 17 more first downs than SC and a 258 total yard advantage but two huge fumbles cost them a home win. Since that loss the Wolfpack have won 4 straight including an impressive road win over Florida State as a +10 point underdog. Last week in a let down spot against Syracuse they won a game that wasn’t as close as the final score would indicate. NC State averaged 5.4 yards per rush versus the Cuse, were +9 in first downs and had a 13 minute time of possession advantage. Louisville is coming off a pair of easy wins over Kent State and Murray State who are nowhere near the calibre of team NC State is. The best team UL faced this year was Clemson and they were blown out by 26 points and were less 180 yards in the game.Louisville faced two teams with 104th or worst defensive ratings which makes their offensive statistics less a meaningful. The worst ranked D the Pack have faced is South Carolina which ranks 73rd in total yard allowed per game. It’s clear the Cardinals are a little over-rated considering they are on an 0-5 ATS streak against winning competition. Take the home team Wolfpack here! |

09-30-17 | South Carolina +8 v. Texas A&M | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 28 h 17 m | Show | |
8* PLAY ON: #167 South Carolina (+) over Texas A & M, 7:30 PM ET - Tough spot for A & M here as they are coming off of their OT win over Arkansas last week and certainly put in a lot of effort against the Razorbacks. The Aggies only two tough opponents (UCLA and Arkansas) were both very tight games with Texas A & M blowing a huge lead to Bruins and losing by 1 and then having to go to OT to get past the Razorbacks. In comparison with the Gameocks, the Aggies certainly have the better offense but the Texas A & M defense has been ripped for a combined 1,011 yards in their wins over Arky and UCLA. The Aggies other two games were against Nicholls State and Louisiana Lafayette. The Gamecocks, overall, have certainly played the much tougher schedule. South Carolina has been done in by turnovers (2 in each game) in their two non-covers this season but the Gamecocks have averaged 300 yards passing in their past two games plus the run game has been solid in 2 of their last 3 games. The Aggies have a huge game with Alabama on deck and are truly in a sandwich spot coming off of an OT win and with such a big game on deck. Texas A & M is on a long-term run of 1-7 ATS as a home favorite of 7.5 to 10 points and the Aggies are on a 2-8 ATS run in their games against teams with a winning record. Grab the points with South Carolina. |

09-30-17 | Middle Tennessee State +3 v. Florida Atlantic | 20-38 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 45 m | Show | |
8* PLAY ON: #187 Middle Tennessee State (+) over Florida Atlantic, 7 PM ET - We like Middle Tennessee State plus the points at Florida Atlantic. Last year when these schools faced off the MTSU Blue Raiders were minus -16.5 points on the road and now they are getting +3 points on the road with 70% of their contributing players still on the roster. MTSU won last year 77-56 while racking up over 750 total yards of offense. Last weekend the Raiders were without some key offensive pieces including QB Brent Stockstill but they still managed their best offensive output of the season with 533 total yards. Backup QB Urzua was a capable replacement for Stockstill by going 24 of 32 for 290 yards and 2 TD’s. We prefer to have Stockstill in the lineup, but if not we like the added value in the pointspread with Urzua. The revitalized MT defense under new coordinator Scott Shafer has held all four of its opponents under 400 yards of total offense. The Raiders currently rank 33rd in the nation in total defense (325.5 yards per game), 24th in rushing defense (104.8 yards per game) and 29th in sacks (11). That, against a schedule that has included three Power 5 schools. MTSU is 2-2 on the year which is remarkable considering they’ve turned the ball over 7 times which is uncharacteristic of this Raiders program. Florida Atlantic and new head coach Lane Kiffin have gotten off to a 1-3 start and that’s despite playing the 94th easiest schedule in the nation. Kiffin, known to be a great offensive mind, has an unsettled QB position on an offense that currently averages just 328 total yards per game (100th out of 130 schools), down from 393 a year ago. Don’t be fooled into the revenge angle here as MTSU has won 9 straight meetings. Make it 10! |

09-30-17 | Mississippi State +8 v. Auburn | 10-49 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 43 m | Show | |
8* PLAY ON: #189 Mississippi State (+) over Auburn, 6 PM ET - Revenge spot for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs had covered 4 straight in this series (and gone 3-1 SU) before they got absolutely crushed last year by Auburn. The Tigers led the Bulldogs 35-0 at half and went on to win 38-14 in an ugly home loss for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs were only a 3 point dog in that game so the blowout was certainly unexpected and MSU has not forgotten! Auburn is off of an easy win versus the Tigers but Missouri continues to get beat badly and so the easy win was expected. As for the Bulldogs they come into this one hungry after losing to a very strong Georgia team last week. Georgia, like Auburn, has a very strong defense but Mississippi State did move the ball well at times but the Bulldogs were done in by a pair of interceptions. While the Tigers have Ole Miss on deck, the Bulldogs have a bye week on deck plus a non-conference game with BYU after that. In other words, there is no doubt that Mississippi State is going to go all out this week as they won't be in SEC again for 3 weeks after this. Revenge factor, situational factor, and a generous line are combining for great line value in this one. The Bulldogs have played the tougher schedule as Auburn's other wins, before crushing Missouri, came against Mercer and Georgia Southern. The Tigers are on a long-term 2-8 ATS run as a home favorite of 7.5 to 10 points. The Bulldogs are on an 8-4 ATS run in September games. Grab the big points! |

09-30-17 | Iowa v. Michigan State -4 | 10-17 | Win | 100 | 25 h 10 m | Show | |
9* PLAY ON: #146 Michigan State (-) over Iowa, 3:30 PM ET - We love one spot in the Big Ten this week and will back the Michigan State Spartans minus the points over the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes. These two teams are coming off direct opposite results based on statistics in their previous games which has offered tremendous value here. MSU is coming off a BLOWOUT loss to Notre Dame (yes we had the Irish) but statistically that came was closer than the final score indicated. The Spartans put up 496 total yards of offense, were +5 in first downs but had 3 HUGE turnovers and eventually ended up losing by 20. Iowa played Penn State down to the wire (on paper) and lost on the final play of the game essentially. Statistically the Hawkeyes were completely dominated by a Penn State team we feel is slightly overrated, but still only lost by 2-points. Iowa managed just 82 yards rushing and 273 yards of total ‘O’ on 11 first downs. PSU wrecked the Hawkeyes defense with 295 yards rushing, 284 passing and 29 first downs. The Hawks ‘D’ spent 99 plays on the field and will hit the wall in this contest. Iowa has some misleading results over inferior opponents this year, by barely beating a down Iowa State team, and a win over North Texas which is one of the 10 worst teams in college football. For those of you that subscribe to the ‘look ahead’ theory with MSU looking forward to next week’s game against Michigan, the Spartans are 5-2 SU their last seven in that scheduling situation. Sparty on 5-1 ATS home covering streak. The far superior team gets a double-digit win here. |

09-30-17 | Georgia -7.5 v. Tennessee | Top | 41-0 | Win | 100 | 25 h 38 m | Show |
10* TOP PLAY ON: #179 Georgia (-) over Tennessee, 3:30 PM ET - The Bulldogs have a fantastic defense and their strength on offense is running the ball. The Volunteers weakness on defense is stopping the run. You can see where we're going here! Georgia is averaging 223.2 rushing yards per game and Tennessee is allowing 242.2 rushing yards per game. While it is true that the Vols number was impacted by the fact that they got run all over by Georgia Tech's option attack in Week 1, it is also true that the Volunteers only other tough match-up was against Florida and they allowed nearly 6 yards per carry in that game. The Yellow Jackets got to Tennessee for over 6 yards a carry too. With the Bulldogs controlling the ground game in this one (Georgia only allowing 97.5 yards per game even though they've faced tough running teams), the only question that remains is whether or not the Vols will be able to move the ball through the air effectively. The fact is that this is highly unlikely. Tennessee QB Quinten Dormady is a junior but he only had thrown 39 passes coming into this season. Now that Dormady has become "the guy" for the Volunteers he has struggled against tougher competition. Even against weaker competition, UMass last week, Dormady struggled enough that the Vols tried their freshman back-up. That didn't go well either. The Vols offensive production has been a concern as they only scored 17 points last week versus the Minutemen! Also, when Dormady faced his first truly tough test he threw three interceptions at Florida. The Bulldogs will surely present the toughest defense he has faced. Additionally, the Bulldogs are highly motivated here as they have blown back to back 17-point leads to Tennessee the past two seasons. Last year's blown lead was culminated with a 43-yard hail mary pass for the game winner for the Vols at Georgia. The Bulldogs again have the talent to get up by at least 17 points on the Vols this year. The difference is that their defense is not only not going to "break" we don't even expect it to "bend". Tennessee doesn't have the firepower, experience, or talent that recent Vols teams have had when they mounted those big comebacks versus the Bulldogs. Georgia Coach Kirby Smart has this team playing extremely well and the Bulldogs won't take their foot off of the gas in this one until the final whistle. The far superior team gets a double-digit win. |

09-28-17 | Texas -4.5 v. Iowa State | 17-7 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
ASA 9* PLAY ON: #103 Texas (-4.5) @ Iowa State, 8 PM ET Thursday - Look for new Longhorns head coach Tom Herman to come up big in his Big 12 debut. This is the Longhorns 1st conference game under their new head coach and though they're just 1-2 this season, Texas has certainly turned things around since the opening game debacle versus Maryland. UT blasted San Jose State after the loss to the Terrapins and then the Longhorns played very well in their loss to a USC team that is one of the top teams in the nation. Texas offers significant line value here because they have played a tougher schedule than Iowa State has. Both teams do have solid offensive production but the Horns have the better defense. Texas has looked a lot better on defense after getting shell-shocked by the Terrapins in Week 1. On the other hand, the Cyclones have consistently given up big yardage even though two of their games were against a MAC team and an FCS school (Northern Iowa). Value is here this week because Iowa State has not lost ATS on the season and the Longhorns are just 1-2 SU. That is where the value comes in and this is a small number to lay considering that Texas is off of a loss and ready to respond just like they did against San Jose State in Week 2. Lay the small points with the Longhorns! |
