Over the last 10 meetings in the series, the average total has been 52 ppg with 7 of those game seeing the total go over 46 points. Also, in the series, the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 games played in Green Bay and 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings overall. This season, the Vikings games are averaging 46 ppg. while Green Bay's games have averaged 48 ppg. The Over is 17-6 in the Packers last 23 home games and I look for them to run away from the Vikings and put 30 some points on board themselves.

Both teams totals averaged just 48 ppg for the season and both defenses rank in the top 20 in the nation by giving up less than 19 points per game! This be the classic case of a running clock as well. Both teams primarily run the ball, including Michigan's short, ball control passing game, so there won't be many times you see the clock stopped. Look for a lot of drives stalled out in the red zone resulting in FG tries as both defenses are extremely tough to score on once the field is shortened.

The Under is 10-4 in the Gamecocks last 14 games against a team with a winning record and the Under is 12-5 in the Wolverines last 17 games against a team with a winning record. The defenses will come to play in the big game atmosphere!

LSU saw just 1 game against a BCS opponent go over 60 total points this year and their average total for the year sits at 46 ppg. Clemson has an explosive offense to where they've averaged 68 ppg against BCS opponents but they haven't had to face a defense as strong as LSU's. In their last game out, against another SEC opponent in South Carolina, Clemson scored just 17 points. In fact, the Under is 6-1 in Clemson's last 7 games against an SEC foe. I look for a similar output against an LSU defense that gave up under 17 ppg on the season, good for 11th in the NCAA, and also earned a top 10 ranking by giving up less than 300 total ypg.

Series trends are all about the Under in this rivalry matchup. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings as they have averaged 44 ppg. Also, the Under is 11-4 in the last 15 games played in New York.

The Under is 8-1 in the Eagles last 9 road games and it's a perfect 5-0 in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record. The Giants have seen the Under go 7-3 in their last 10 home games and the Under is 17-5 in the Giants last 22 games overall.

The lowest total on the board this bowl season, always a good bet to take the Under! Two great defenses, both ranking in the top 20 in total yards allowed. Michigan State ranks in the top 10 in major categories of points and yards allowed! The Spartans are giving up just 16 ppg. The Under went 5-1 in the Spartans last 6 games of the regular season and the Under is 7-1-1 in the Spartans last 9 games against a team with a winning record. Also, the Under was 4-1 in the Horned Frogs last 5 games and it's perfect 6-0-1 in their last 7 Bowl games.

The Over is 6-2 in the Mountaineers last 8 bowl games and their total scores are averaging 80 ppg this season. While the Mountaneers are well known for their ability to cash on Overs, Syracuse is actually the key to our win in this one. The 'Cuse are in the bottom half of the NCAA defensive ranks, giving up nearly 400 ypg and almost 26 ppg. This work has happened against them by bad teams from the Big East. With Geno Smith and the WVU offense on the field the point total grows to 40 and beyond pretty fast! While the Oranges' totals have only averaged 55 ppg, they have seen the Over go 5-0-1 in their last 6 games and it's 7-3-1 overall this season.

Over the last 10 meetings, the average total score in the series is 33 ppg and not one of those games has seen the number go over 43 points! The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 games played in Oakland and it's 16-5 in the last 21 overall meetings. This season, the Under is 4-1 in the Chiefs last 5 games and the Under has hit in the Raiders last 4 games as well.

The Seahawks and Bears haven't played to a total under 40 points since 1999, 8 meetings ago. The two franchises have played 4 times in the last 3 years with an average total of 50 ppg. The Over is 5-0 in the last 5 games in Chicago and 7-0 in the last 7 meetings overall.

Kansas has held opponents to 56 ppg and Oregon State has scored an average of just 64 ppg in their two games against BCS conference schools this season. The Under is 20-7 in Kansas' last 27 non-conference games. The Under is 4-0 in the Beavers last 4 games and 7-3 in the Jayhawks last 10 overall. So far this year, the Under is a combined 5-2 in OSU and KU's games with a posted total.

Over the last 10 games, the average total seen in the series has been 33 ppg. This will be a low scoring, field position battle. Both teams run the ball well and the clock will continue to roll nearly all game long. The Under is 5-0 in the Steelers last 5 games and 16-5-1 in the Browns last 22 games. Also, the Under is 9-1 in Cleveland's last 10 home games.

The Over is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings with the average total coming in at 69 ppg. Over the current stretch, the lowest total has been 54 points and only 3 times did we see a final total under 60 points. The Over is 4-0 in the Beavers last 4 games vs. a team with a winning record and it's 11-4 in the Ducks last 15 games. I expect a spirited effort from the Duck offense that was held in check against Stanford. I think they hit the 40 point mark as they get back on track. I also expect the Beavers to put some points of their own on the board as they try to stay with their cross state rivals.

The last 5 games in the series have all totaled 48 points or more with the average total being over 51 ppg. This season, the Jets have averaged just below the total we need Thurday at 44 ppg. The Patriots, however, are averaging a league leading 36 ppg on offense leading the way to their total scores averaging 58 ppg.

The Over is 17-5 in the Patriots last 22 road games (77%) and 36-15 in their last 51 games overall (71%). Look for Tom Brady and his offense to lead the way in pushing this game over the total yet again.

The scoreboard will be plenty of busy in this one Sunday afternoon! Saints games are averaging 56 ppg and Raiders games are just a hair shy of that at nearly 53 ppg. New Orleans has seen just 2 of their 9 games stay under 50 total points and the Raiders have actually topped the 70 point mark in their last 2 games!

With those stats, the Over is 5-1 in the Saints last 6 road games and 11-3 in their last 14 games overall. Also, the Over is 7-1 in the Raiders last 8 home games and 11-5 in their last 16 games overall.

The Over is 21-10 in the Wildcats last 31 games and it's 17-5-1 in the Bears last 23 games against a team with a winning record and 23-5-1 in their last 29 overall.

Baylor is averaging 45 ppg and they are giving up over 41 ppg! Kansas State is one of the most high powered offenses in the nation averaging over 42 ppg themselves. The #1 Cats will raise the Bears defensive average by putting more than 50 on the board. The Wildcats will most certainly hold the Bears under their season scoring average but they will give up enough points to let us get to the 80 point mark.

Both teams are having game totals avg in the mid 60's. Neither team can really stop anyone, but Duke will really have a hard time slowing down the Georgia Tech offense that has been on fire.

The Over is 7-0-1 in the Blue Devils last 8 conference games and 9-1-1 in their last 11 games overall. The Over is 5-1 in the Yellow Jackets last 6 conference games and 7-1 in their last 8 overall. This season, the Over is a combined 14-3-1 in these two programs games, quite the stat indeed!

Wake Forest's games have averaged 39 ppg over the last 5 weeks and Notre Dame has seen its totals average just 37 ppg for the season! Wake simply will not score against Notre Dame's defense but I do think their defense is good enough to old ND in check. Wake has seen the Under in their last 5 games and it's 5-2 in the Demon Deacons' last 7 against a team with a winning record. The Under 19-7 in Notre Dame's last 26 home games and it is 20-7-1 in the Fighting Irishs' last 28 games overall.

The Over is 9-4-1 in the Bills last 14 road games and 8-3 in their last 11 games overall. For the Patriots, the Over is 17-7 in their last 24 home games and 35-17-1 in New England's last 53 games overall. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams, including a total of 80 points put on the board in this season's earlier meeting! Over this 5 game span the average total has been 64 ppg.

Only one of the last 10 meetings have seen a total over 47 points and the average total is just 37 ppg! Notre Dame has played to just 2 totals over 47 points this season while BC has seen 4 of their 9 games go over 47 their average total is still just 53 ppg. Fortunately for us, the Eagles haven't played a defense like Notre Dame's so I can guarantee they won't get that many points on the board this Saturday.

The Over is 5-1 in the Broncos last 6 road games and 7-3 in the Bengals last 10 home games. Also, the Over is 5-1 in Cincinnati's last 6 games vs. a team with a winning record and 14-5 in their last 19 games within the AFC. The Over is 9-3 in Denver's last 12 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and a book killing 31-15 in their last 46 games overall.

The Under is 4-1 in the Panthers last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record and a perfect 6-0 in their last 6 road games overall. For the Irish, the Under is 19-7 in Notre Dame's last 26 home games and 33-16-2 in their last 51 games overall. Notre Dame's defense has been downright nasty allowing just 10 ppg this year. In the series, the Fighting Irish have also been very stingy giving up only 21 ppg over the last 10 meetings with Pitt. Look for more of the same this Saturday with Notre Dame rolling to a 28-10 win.

The Under has cashed in the last 4 series meetings in Miami and it's 7-2 in the last 9 games overall. Virginia Tech has a strong Thursday night football history and the Under is 14-2 in the Hokies last 16 games played on Thursdays! The Under is also very solid for the 'Canes showing an 11-5 record in their last 16 Thursday games. Also, we find the Under at 40-19-1 in the Hurricanes last 60 home games.

These are two potent offenses playing against defenses that have struggled all season long. The Saints have given up at least 24 points in every game this year and are surrendering an average of 30 ppg! They've seen just one total under our number this week with their lowest scoring game totaling 51 points. The Broncos have fared a bit better but are still giving up 23 ppg and against New Orleans I expect that to be raised.

The Over is 5-0 in the Saints last 5 road games and 16-6 in the Broncos last 22 home games. Overall, the Over is 6-2 in the Broncos last 8 games and 10-1 in the Saints last 11 games.

These 2 teams have combined to average a total of 35 ppg over their last 10 meetings with the Under going 8-2. The highest they've seen the total go is 44 points and only 2 of the 10 meetings have been more than 40 points. Needless to say, defense is the name of the game in this SEC rivalry.

This season, Mississippi State is giving up just 14 ppg while Alabama is giving up just over 8 ppg! Overall, the Under is 7-1 in the Bulldogs last 8 games and 14-5 in their last 19 conference games. For 'Bama, the Under is 6-2 in their last 8 home games and 6-1 in the Crimson Tide's last 7 against a team with a winning record.

The Under is 21-8-1 in the Hawkeyes last 30 road games against a team with a winning home record and 41-18-2 in their last 61 total road games. Also, the Under is 6-2 in Iowa's last 8 games while the it's 9-3 in the Wildcats last 12 games. The Under is 5-2 in Wildcats last 7 Big Ten games and nearly flawless with a 7-1 record in Northwestern's last 8 home games. In the rivalry, the Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

In the series, the Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings with the average total coming in just under 50 ppg. Currently, the Over is riding a 5-1-1 recorrd in the Lions last 7 games overall and an even more impressive 37-14-2 in their last 53 road games. For Chicago, the Over is 6-2 in their last 8 home games and 9-4 in the Bears last 13 games against a team with a losing record.

The Over is 19-7 in the Jets last 26 road games, 27-13 in their last 40 games overall and has hit at 67% with a 35-17-2 record in NYJ's last 54 against the AFC.

Similar numbers for New England as the Over is 16-7 in the Pats last 23 home games, 32-12 in their last 44 games overall and a 75% winning mark with a 25-8 record in the Patriots last 33 games against the AFC!

Throw in the fact that the Over has hit in every one of the last 5 meetings, with an average total over 48 ppg, and I like our chances of seeing quite a few points on the board Sunday afternoon.

The Under is 9-2-1 in the Nittany Lions last 12 against a team with a winning record and 15-5-1 in their last 21 games overall. Likewise, the Under is 6-1 in the Hawkeyes last 7 games and 10-4-1 in their last 15 Big Ten games. Both defenses have been playing excellent and I don't see either offense getting on track. Iowa will control the ball and the clock on their home field and keep this as a low scoring affair as the series record showing the Under at 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings continues.

The Over is 37-18-2 in the Ducks' last 57 games and 15-5 in the Sun Devils' last 20 games, combined to hit at nearly a 70% clip! Also, in conference play, the Over is 21-7 in Oregon's last 28 games and 11-3 in Arizona State's last 14 games. In the head to head series, the Over has now hit in 4 straight meetings, with it showing a 4-1-1 record in the last 6 games at Arizona State.

Over the last 7 years the highest total Florida State and Boston College have played to is 49 points. On average, the total is right under 45 ppg.

For BC, the Under is 21-6-1 in their last 28 games and it's a staggering 41-19-1 in the Eagles last 61 road games. Also, the Under is 15-5-1 in the Eagles last 21 conference games and 16-4-1 in their last 21 games against a team with a winning record.

The Under is 11-5 in the Seminoles last 16 home games and 8-2 in their last 10 overall. Like BC, the Under has been commonplace in the 'Noles ACC games as it is 5-2 in FSU's last 7 conference meetings.

The Over is 4-1 in the Saints last 5 home games and it's 8-1 in their last 9 games overall. New Orleans has seen the total average 60 ppg thru the first 4 weeks of this season. For the Chargers, the Over is 33-14-4 in their last 51 road games. The Over is 2-2 this year with an average total of 42 ppg but the way the Saints' defense has played this year I look for Phillip Rivers to put more points on the board Sunday night.

The Over is 15-7 in the Patriots' last 22 home games and it's 30-12 in their last 42 games overall. The Over is also a very prominent 29-14 in the Broncos last 43 games. In the series, the Over is 9-4-1 in the last 14 meetings. This season, the Broncos' games have averaged over 49 ppg and the Patriots are even higher showing a 56.5 ppg average. All the hype is building over two of the greatest QB's of all time, and two of the best offenses in the league, going up against each other and I look for that to come to fruition with a lot of points on the scoreboard this Sunday.

These teams have played just 5 times in the past 10 years but the average total score has been over 65 ppg and the lowest total we've seen is 55 points as the Over has hit in all 5 matchups.

The Saints have seen their games average over 61 ppg this season and the Over is 7-1 in their last 8 games overall. Green Bay has gotten off to a bit of a slow start but the Over is still 10-4 in the Packers last 14 games and 16-5 in their last 21 games at home. Look for the Pack to come out angry and ready to take out frustrations from Monday night's debacle on a Saints' defense that is giving up the most yards and 2nd most points in the league so far.

Last week, Clemson let things get away from them in the second half against a very dangerous Florida State team but other than that they have been very solid defensively. Same goes for B.C. as the Eagles are allowing just 22 ppg even after playing Miami and Northwestern.

The Under is 10-2 in the Tigers last 12 road games and 7-2 in their last 9 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game. The Under is 7-2 in the Eagles last 9 home games, 15-5-1 in their last 21 conference games and an outstanding 37-18-1 in their last 56 games overall. I look for Clemson to start a little sluggish coming in off last weeks huge matchup with the 'Noles and will watch for scoring to calm down a bit more this week as conference play settles in.

The Under is 8-1-1 in the Jaguars last 10 vs. the AFC and a perfect 6-0-1 in their last 7 against AFC South divisional opponents. Likewise, the Colts have seen the Under register a perfect 7-0 record in their last 7 vs. AFC South rivals. Indianapolis has also seen the Under hit in 6 straight home games and 5 of their last 6 games overall.

The Over has hit in 4 straight meetings between these two teams and it's been 5 years since they have played to a total of 77 points or less! The Over is 4-1 in the Wildcats last 5 road games, 6-2 in their last 8 PAC-12 games and 8-3 in 'Zona's last 11 games overall. For Oregon, the Over is 23-6-1 in their last 30 home games and it's 35-17-2 in the Ducks last 54 games overall. Amazing numbers and trends and I see no reason to expect any different this season.

West Virginia will score early and often against a bad Maryland team. We have seen the Over go 6-1 in the Mountaineers' last 7 home games and 10-3 in their last 13 games overall. As bad as Maryland is they will be able to put up a couple TD's on West Virginia's defense, more than likely late in the game. The Over is 4-1 in the Terrapins' last 5 games and 7-1 in their last 8 non-conference games. We've also seen the Over hit in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two programs.

The Under is 22-5-1 in Boston College's last 28 games and it's 41-18-1 in their last 60 road games. Also, the Under is 16-5-1 in the Eagles last 22 games against a team with a winning record and 20-7 in their last 27 non-conference games. Last year, just one of Boston College's games went over 50 points.

Northwestern fans saw a huge score in the first game against a week Syracuse team but they don't as explosive of an offense as they have had in years past. Currently, the Under is 5-0 in the Wildcats last 5 home games and 6-1 in their last 7 overall. We've also seen the

The Over is 7-1-1 in the Bills last 9 road games and it's 12-4-1 in their last 17 games overall. For New York, the Over is 4-1 in the Jets last 5 home games and it's 24-10 in their last 34 games overall. In Conference play, we see the Over is 9-3-1 in the Bills last 13 and the Over is 25-11-1 in the Jets last 37 vs. AFC competition! In the Buffalo/NYJ series, the Over is 4-3-1 over the last 8 games with an average score over 43 ppg.

This number is way too high for a game involving a Nebraska defense that has given up an average of 17 ppg over the last 3 seasons. UCLA will be an improved unit over their last couple years as well as they return 9 starters from a year ago.

Despite the defensive struggles the Bruins have seen, the Under is still 7-3 in their last 10 games and it's 21-8 in the Bruins' last 29 home games as well. Unsurprisingly, Nebraska has seen similar success cashing Unders in 6 of their last 8 road games throughout the last 2 seasons and also claiming a 6-2 Under record to finish off last season's play.

Fresno State has seen the Over hit in 6 of their last 7 road games and it's 10-4 in their last 14 games overall. Also, the Over is 8-3 in Fresno's last 11 non-conference games and 7-1 in the Bulldogs' last 8 games vs. a Pac-12 opponent.

Oregon has seen all sorts of big numbers in recent years and they've always been large enough to cash Overs. The Over is an amazing 23-5-1 in the Ducks' last 29 home games and it's 35-16-2 in their last 53 games overall!

The Under is 13-3 in the Nittany Lions' last 16 games in September and it's 12-3-1 in their last 16 games overall. For Virginia, the Under hit in all 7 of their home games last year and it's 9-2 in the Cavaliers' last 11 games overall. Virginia put up good numbers against a traditional FCS power but look for that to come back to earth against a Penn State defense that is solid as usual. Also per the usual trend, Penn State's offense was awful last week and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Both defenses will battle each other and the first one to 3 TD's will win.
