The pointspread on this game has switched with Northwestern going from a 2

Clemson went 10-2 this season with their two losses coming against Florida State and South Carolina. They lost their last game to rival South Carolina, but ACC bowl underdogs are a strong 15-4 ATS off a loss over the last few years. Prior to that loss, Clemson had won 7 consecutive games while scoring 37 points or more in their first 11 games of the season. The Tigers offense is well-balanced as they run for 199 yards and throw for 319 yards per game while gaining 6.5 yards per play. LSU

This is the only rematch of the bowl season as Iowa State beat Tulsa in the season opener 38-23. That game was played at Iowa State yet Tulsa was a 1

It was a tale of two seasons for Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets usually get off to a fast start, but that was not the case this season as they opened the season at just 2-4. Georgia Tech

TCU started off the season by winning five of their first six games. But starting quarterback Casey Pachall checked into rehab which left freshman Trevone Boykin under center for the rest of the season. TCU went just 2-4 over their final six games of the season as their offense scored 20 points or less in four of those six games. We do not expect the Horned Frogs offense to have much success tonight as they

Arizona State might not be fully focused for this minor bowl game and large favorites have historically struggled in this spot. Making a letdown more likely is the fact Arizona State finished the season with a more important win against in-state rival Arizona when the Sun Devils won on the road as a +2.5 point underdog. Navy is also coming off an emotional win in their final regular season game versus Army, but the Midshipmen should remain focused today as they just played three weeks ago, while Arizona State has not played for five weeks. Service academies have more discipline and focus than most schools and this is the main reason they have gone an excellent 25-10 ATS in all bowl games the past 30+ years.

The match-up is also favorable for Navy as they are an option team that enables them to control the clock and keep games close. In fact, Navy has a long-term winning ATS record on the road and as an underdog, including 3-1 SU/ATS as a road underdog this season and 27-10 ATS the past 11 years; they are on a 13-4 ATS run as an underdog their last 17 games when getting points. Navy averages 276 rushing yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry this season and they match up well against an Arizona State defense that is excellent defending the pass, but is suspect versus the run. The Sun Devils allow just 5.6 yards per pass (versus opponents that average 6.8 ypp), but they are weaker against the run, allowing 172 yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry (versus opponents that average just 153 yards and 4.2 ypr). Arizona State was especially weak against the run when facing bowl opponents this season, allowing 258 rushing yards per game (5.3 ypr) in five of their final six games of the season. We

West Virginia started this season at 5-0 and they were ranked in the Top 5. But the Mountaineers quickly went into the abyss as they lost their next five games. They rebounded to win their final two games of the season, but overall, West Virginia is disappointed with their season. This team thought they

This game will have some inclement weather with snow falling during the game. But heavy winds are not in the forecast (5 mph) so despite the snow, we still feel this will be a high-scoring game between West Virginia and Syracuse. The Mountaineers have a potent offense that averages 42 points and 520 yards per game while gaining 6.7 yards per play. They scored 31 points or more in 10 of their 12 games this season and they scored more than their seasonal average in five games as well. West Virginia is well-balanced as they run for 178 yards and pass for 342 yards per game. They will be facing a Syracuse defense that allowed 35, 42, and 42 points to the three strong offenses they faced this season. Syracuse allowed 7.7 yards per pass attempt so West Virginia will hit some big plays downfield in this game.

Syracuse also had a potent offense this season as they averaged 29 points and 474 yards per game. They run a high-tempo, hurry-up offense that wears down defenses. Syracuse should have a lot of success against the putrid West Virginia defense just like they did last season when they scored 49 points on them. The Mountaineers allow 38 points and 471 yards per game on 6.4 yards per play. Against the eight bowl teams they faced, West Virginia allowed a whopping 48 points and 522 yards per game on 7.0 yards per play. They allowed 50 points or more in four games as well. Syracuse is also a well-balanced offense that runs for 173 yards and passes for 301 yards per game on 6.1 yards per play. Even with the snowy weather, we expect both offenses to go up and down the field making this a high-scoring game on Saturday afternoon.

9* Play OVER the total.

Minnesota started this season off really good as they won their first four games. But quarterback MarQueis Gray suffered an ankle injury which forced inexperienced Max Shortell into the lineup. Shortell struggled mightily and Minnesota faltered as their offense scored 17 points or less in four consecutive games. That forced head coach Jerry Kill to insert highly recruited Phillip Nelson at quarterback and he lived up to his hype by torching Purdue for 44 points while throwing four touchdown passes in his first game. The defenses got much tougher for Nelson after that game as he had to face Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Michigan St in consecutive weeks; the Golden Gophers scored 17 points or less in all of those games. But Minnesota and Nelson will face a soft Texas Tech defense tonight, and we expect much better offensive production in this game.

Texas Tech comes into this game with their coaching staff in a state of flux. Tommy Tuberville left his team high and dry when he bolted for Cincinnati. Their new head coach will be former Tech QB and current Texas A&M coach Kliff Kingsbury. Offensive line coach Chris Thomsen will be the interim for this game, and with the staff not knowing if they are staying or going, there

This game should be a shootout as both offenses will be able to move the ball at will on two weak defenses. Baylor possessed a potent offense this season; the Bears averaged 44 points and 570 yards per game. They scored 50 points or more in five games this season. Baylor is well-balanced as they run for 220 yards and pass for 350 yards per game while averaging an impressive 7.0 yards per play. UCLA

Central Michigan is ecstatic to be playing in this game. The Chippewas are playing in their home state in front of family and friends.

SMU head coach June Jones is returning to Hawaii where he built and turned Hawaii into a respectable football team for nine seasons. Jones

Washington and Boise St both won with defense this season. The Huskies seasonal numbers may not be impressive, but their stats are skewed because of the high-powered offenses they played. Against LSU, Oregon, USC, and Arizona, the Huskies allowed a total of 169 points or 42 points per game. Against the other eight teams they played, Washington allowed a total of 117 points or just 15 points per game. They held five of those opponents to just 13 points or less. Overall, Washington allowed 5.4 yards per play (versus teams that averaged 5.6 yppl). The Huskies offense struggled for the majority of the season, and against the seven bowl teams they faced, they averaged just 16 points and 307 yards per game while gaining just 4.5 yards per play.

Boise St

This game should be a shootout as both offenses will be able to move the ball at will on two weak defenses. East Carolina possessed a potent offense this season; the Pirates averaged 31 points and 408 yards per game. They scored 35 points or more in five games this season. East Carolina has a powerful passing offense that averages 273 yards per game on 7.4 yards per pass attempt. In the seven games in which LA-Lafayette allowed more than 250 passing yards, their opponents scored an average of 35 points per game. The Ragin

BYU and San Diego State both won with defense this season. The Cougars were stout all season as they allowed just 15 points and 266 yards per game. They allowed just 4.4 yards per play (versus teams that averaged 5.5 yppl). Only one of BYU

Nevada has an explosive offense that is averaging 37 points per game on 503 yards of total offense per game. Nevada has actually eclipsed their seasonal points scored average in four games this season while gaining more than their seasonal average yards in five games. The Wolfpack is well-balanced on offense as they are averaging 260 yards per game on the ground and 243 yards per game through the air. Offenses that can run and throw the ball efficiently like that are extremely difficult to stop. Arizona

Navy and Army have had a lot of time off since they last played a game. Both teams have had three weeks off so they

This will be the second meeting of the season between Wisconsin and Nebraska; the Cornhuskers won at home 30-27 back in late-September. This game will be played in Indianapolis inside Lucas Oil Stadium so Nebraska will not have the home field edge this time around, especially since it

Texas comes in off an upset home loss to TCU on Thanksgiving night as 7-point favorites. The Longhorns lost despite holding the Horned Frogs to less than 300 yards of total offense; their 4 turnovers did them in. Texas also lost QB David Ash to injury so that game just snowballed and they ended up losing. Ash will not start this game, but he will be available to play according to head coach Mack Brown. Case McCoy will start, and he has plenty of experience, including his play against Kansas St last season. The Longhorns lost that game 17-13, but they thoroughly out-played the Wildcats while holding them to just 121 yards of total offense. Kansas St QB Collin Klein completed just 9 of 17 passes for 83 total yards. Texas

This game will be played on a neutral field inside the Georgia Dome on the fast FieldTurf track. We have seen some big offensive performances in this game over its history in Atlanta, and we expect both teams to put points up on the scoreboard this afternoon. The winning team in this SEC championship game has scored 31 points or more in five straight years, and 30 points or more in ten of the last eleven games. LSU scored 42 points against Georgia last season, and the Tigers offense wasn

These two teams will meet for the second time this season with the winner of this game taking home the CUSA title. Tulsa survived the first game winning 23-21 despite having a 2-0 turnover differential. The Golden Hurricane will play on their home field once again, but we expect a different outcome this afternoon. Central Florida is the better of these two teams, and the betting marketplace thought just that two weeks ago when heavy money came in on the Knights as they closed as a 1-point underdog after opening at +3. The opposite has occurred in this game as the money has come in on Tulsa as they

This rivalry has been one-sided over the last few years with South Carolina dominating Clemson. The Gamecocks have won three straight meetings by 21, 22, and 17 points. However, we expect tonight

Penn St has been good to us over the last month as we

Oregon comes in off a deflating 17-14 home overtime loss to Stanford last week. That was their first loss of the season and it cost them a chance to play in the national championship. Now they must regroup while taking to the road and lay a lot of points into their in-state rival which is not a good combination at all for Oregon. We all know the Ducks have a potent offense, but the fact that they only scored 14 points at home last week is a big concern, especially since it came against a Stanford team that struggles mightily against spread offenses. In fact, Stanford has allowed similar offenses to score 48, 41, 53, and 52 points on them the last four times they

This is a heated rivalry game that usually comes right down to the wire. In fact, the last three meetings between Arizona St and Arizona have been decided by 4, 1, and 3 points. The underdog went a perfect 3-0 ATS in those games with Arizona winning outright while getting 10 points last year at Arizona St. Even though both teams are playing with new coaches this year, we still expect another close game throughout with the winner likely decided by who

Iowa St was playing much better football earlier in the season. The Cyclones began with a 4-1 record but they are just 2-5 over their last seven games. One of those wins came at home over a putrid Baylor defense and the other was a phony road win at TCU, a game in which Iowa St was out-yarded by 105 yards (455-350). They were fortunate to grab 5 turnovers in that game or else they would be in the midst of a 1-6 slide. Iowa St has played four road games this season, and they were an underdog of 7 points or more in three of those four games and a 3

Notre Dame is currently #3 in the BCS standings, and the Irish have a need to get style points if they have any chance at jumping #1 Kansas St or #2 Oregon. Notre Dame hasn

Underdogs are always worth a look in rivalry games, especially if they were shutout the year before. USC waxed UCLA 50-0 in last year

After opening the season at 3-1, Virginia Tech has gone just 1-5 over their last six games. However, the Hokies have played a brutal schedule over that time, including road games at North Carolina, Clemson, and Miami Fla and a home game against Florida St. Those four teams have a combined record of 30-11 so Virginia Tech really has no shame in losing those games. The Hokies have shown the ability to blow out the lesser teams this year; they own wins by 35, 37, and 21 points. Virginia Tech will face another terrible team here in Boston College who comes into this game at just 2-8 on the season.

Virginia Tech will dominate this game on the ground. Prior to rushing for just 77 yards against Florida St in their last game, the Hokies ran for 269, 199, and 222 yards in their previous three games. Boston College has been gouged on the ground all season; the Eagles are allowing 227 yards per game on 4.9 yards per rush. Boston College cannot run the ball on offense; the Eagles average just 73 yards per game on 2.7 yards per rush. They are one-dimensional to the pass, and that is not a good thing when facing a decent defense that allows just 5.2 yards per play. Boston College had their big spotlight game at home last week against undefeated Notre Dame, and they lost 21-6. The Eagles season is all but over, and the Hokies will leave Chestnut Hill win an easy double digit win on Saturday afternoon.

9* Play VIRGINIA TECH (-).

These two teams come into this game from opposite ends of the spectrum. Air Force is off an ugly 41-21road loss at Army as 7-point favorites. San Diego St is off a huge 21-19 road win at Boise St as 16

Ball St has an explosive offense that is averaging 34 points per game on 473 yards of total offense per game. The Cardinals have scored 30 points or more in 7 of their 9 games so far this season, and they are averaging 36 points per game on the road. Their five road games have averaged a whopping 74 points per game and we certainly expect their trend of high-scoring games to continue. The Cardinals are well-balanced on offense as they are averaging 202 yards or more per game on the ground and through the air, and offenses like that are extremely difficult to stop.

Toledo also possesses a potent offense as the Rockets are averaging 34 points and 455 yards of offense per game this season. They are averaging 36 points per game at home, and since Ball St is allowing 38 points per game on the road, Toledo

Alabama has been unstoppable this season as the Crimson Tide has won all eight of their games by at least 19 points or more. However, they have only played one good team this year and that was Michigan in the season opener, and truth be told, the Wolverines really aren

Nebraska comes into this game off back-to-back emotional games, and that sets them up in a flat spot. The Cornhuskers won a back and forth game at Northwestern two weeks ago; they won that game 29-28. Nebraska was able to get up after that draining game for last week

Washington comes into this game off a satisfying home win over an Oregon St team that was 6-0 going into that game. The Huskies won that game 20-17, but they were thoroughly out-played as the Beavers won yardage 427-293. Washington capitalized on 4 Oregon St turnovers and they came away with a very fortunate win. The young Huskies must now take to the road on a short week and face a California team that is desperate for a win. The road has not been kind to Washington as they are 0-3 SU and ATS this season with their three losses coming by a combined score of 145-41. Washington has beaten Cal in each of the last three years, but the scheduling and situational spot they are in for this year

Ohio St comes into this game off a sub-par 29-22 win over Purdue last Saturday. The Buckeyes do have an excuse though as quarterback Braxton Miller left that game with a neck injury and without him on the field, Ohio St had their worse offensive production of the season. The 29 points scored were the second lowest of the season, and the 342 total yards were the lowest of the season. But Miller practiced all week and he

USC comes into this game with a nice looking 6-1 record, but the Trojans have played an extremely easy schedule so far this season. Their lone loss came at Stanford, and they were just the second team with a winning record at the time they played USC. The Trojans offense has padded their stats against some very weak defenses, and USC

We went against West Virginia last week, and we have no hesitation in going against them once again this week. The Mountaineers were blown out by Texas Tech; they lost that game 49-14 while getting out-gained 686-428. West Virginia continues to be a popular team because of their high-flying offense that is averaging 46 points per game and 547 yards of total offense per game. QB Smith has completed an incredible 75.3% of his passes for 2,271 yards with 25 touchdowns and zero interceptions. Those are just some insane numbers, but keep in mind the Mountaineers have played one of the easiest schedules in college football thus far, especially when two of the six defenses they faced are ranked in the bottom 20 and another plays in the FCS. In their two games against solid defenses (Maryland and Texas Tech), West Virginia averaged just 22.5 points and 395.5 yards per game.

Kansas St has an excellent defense; the Wildcats are allowing just 17 points and 339 yards per game. They

The 115th edition of the Big Game will be played much earlier this season. Stanford and California usually meet at the end of conference play on one of the final weekends of the regular season. But it comes about six weeks early this year, and it comes at a perfect time for California as they are catching Stanford off a heartbreaking loss at Notre Dame. The Cardinal led that game until the final 20 seconds when a Notre Dame field goal sent the game into overtime. Stanford then lost the game on a controversial call when the refs said running back Stephan Taylor did not break the plane with the ball on fourth down. That loss hit Stanford hard, and it also took a lot out of them because of the physical play on the field.

Both teams come into this game stumbling just a bit; UConn has lost back-to-back games and three of their last four overall. Syracuse lost their last game and they

Tennessee comes into tonight

TCU will be playing their second game without starting quarterback Casey Pachall; he left school after getting arrested for DWI. Trevone Boykin took over at quarterback last week against Iowa State but he struggled in his first start. Boykin threw 3 interceptions in that game, but he did some positive things. He completed 23 passes for 270 yards and he also ran for 40 yards. Knowing that he is now the full-time starter and with another week to prepare, we expect Boykin to play much better this week. Head coach Gary Patterson is also very confident in Boykin

West Virginia beat us last week when they went into Austin and left with a 48-45 over Texas. But we have no hesitation in coming right back and playing against the Mountaineers in this game. Last week, West Virginia was a 7-point road underdog at Texas. Now they must take to the road once again but this time they are laying points on the road. In their game last week, Texas Tech took heavy money in their home game against Oklahoma; the Sooners opened -7 and closed -4. This week, Texas is a 3

This is an important game for both teams, but in the end this game will prove to be crucial for SMU. The Mustangs come into this game at just 1-3, and if they want to get to a bowl game, they must win this game. If they do, SMU can go on a nice little run because they play three weak teams over the next three weeks. The Mustangs are taking a major step down in competition here as they played TCU and Texas A&M in their last two games. SMU is also the fresher team as they had a bye prior to last week

West Virginia and quarterback Geno Smith have garnered a lot of national media attention after their 4-0 start to this season. The Mountaineers are a popular team because of their high-flying offense that is producing video-game like numbers. West Virginia is averaging a robust 53 points per game and 599 yards of total offense per game. QB Smith has completed an incredible 83.4% of his passes for 1,728 yards with 20 touchdowns and zero interceptions. Those are just some insane numbers, but keep in mind the Mountaineers have played one of the easiest schedules in college football thus far, especially when two of the four defenses they faced are ranked in the bottom 20 and another plays in the FCS. West Virginia played Maryland which has a top 40 defense, and the Mountaineers only scored 31 points on 363 yards of offense; those numbers are 22 points and 236 yards off of their season averages.

Texas and Oklahoma St have both been impressive so far this season, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

David Ash completed just 56.6% of his passes last season with 4 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. He was rotating with Case McCoy, and he just couldn

Ohio St will get their first real test of the season at Michigan St on Saturday afternoon. The Buckeyes come into this game at 4-0 with all of those games coming on their home field. This will be their first road game of the season, but we expect head coach Urban Meyer to have the Buckeyes cranked-up and ready. This is a big game for Meyer and Ohio St as it is their first conference game, and also the first of three

Both teams come into this big rivalry game at 1-2 after winner their home openers against FCS opponents and then losing their next two games on the road. New Mexico faced the much tougher opponents at they played at Texas and at Texas Tech while New Mexico State played at Ohio and at UTEP. This series is usually close, but last year the Aggies beat the Lobos 42-28. However, New Mexico was just four days removed from their coached getting fired, and since they were 0-4 at that point, they had little confidence. This year is totally different as they already have a win and they have a positive outlook with their new coaching staff.

Oregon State has only played one game so far this season; they beat Wisconsin 10-7 two weeks ago. The Beavers season opener was cancelled because their opponent (Nicholls St) was fighting a hurricane. They had a scheduled bye after Wisconsin so Oregon State has had a full two weeks to prepare for UCLA. The Beavers are on a revenge mission this season after they got walloped a few times in 2011; they had such a young and inexperienced team. Last year, Oregon State lost 27-19 at home to UCLA as 4

Notre Dame was mighty impressive in their season opener in Ireland; the Fighting Irish manhandled Navy 50-10. Off that long trip, Notre Dame was in a terrible spot as they hosted Purdue and they slogged to a 20-17 win. Knowing how bad the situation was, we can give Notre Dame a pass for that uninspiring effort. The Irish still out-gained Purdue 376-288 in that game so while the final score didn

Virginia comes into this game at 2-0, but neither win was anything special. They beat FCS Richmond in their season opener, and they slugged out an ugly 17-16 win over Penn St last week.

These two teams come into this game from opposite directions. Virginia Tech is 2-0 after home wins over Georgia Tech and FCS Austin Peay.

Coming into this season, we thought Rutgers would be a good team and have a very good shot at winning the Big East title. We saw a nice spot for them to win their season opener at a battered and beleaguered Tulane; Rutgers only won that game 24-12 despite the talent and situational edges. We were willing to give them a pass for not dominating that game as much as we thought they would since it was the first game of the season and also on the road. We expected major improvement last week in their home opener against FCS Howard, but it never showed. Rutgers did win 26-0, but they only won first downs 16-12 and only gained 321 yards of total offense; one of their touchdowns came on a blocked punt. The bottom line is this, Rutgers offense is absolutely terrible and quarterback Gary Nova is not the answer to their woes. The Scarlet Knights are taking a major step-up in class tonight, and they

Missouri will host their first conference game as a member of the SEC. Tonight

Wisconsin has the advantage of already playing a game; the Badgers beat Northern Iowa 26-21. That final score indicates Wisconsin struggled a bit, and they did. They only ran the ball for 168 yards on 47 carries (3.6 yards per rush). Wisconsin ran the ball for more yardage in 12 of their 14 games last season, and they averaged less than 3.6 yards per rush just twice. The Badgers should have dominated Northern Iowa on the line of scrimmage, but they didn

Pittsburgh has the advantage of already playing a game this season. But the result in that game was not what the Panthers had hoped for. They lost 31-17 to FCS Youngstown St, and on the surface that looks like a terrible loss.

Wyoming is used to opening their season at home against a non-FBS team under head coach Dave Christensen. Over the last three years, the Cowboys have played Weber St twice and Southern Utah. They won all three of those games, but they were all close as the wins came by just 7, 8, and 3 points. Wyoming will be in for a reality test right away as they have to travel and play at Texas on Saturday, a game in which they figure to be severely overmatched. The Cowboys basically have one player on offense and that is quarterback Brett Smith. He led the Cowboys in rushing last season, and since their second leading rusher will not return, Wyoming

SMU is an underrated team that was solid on both sides of the ball this season.

SMU has a balanced offensive attack that averages 4.4 yards per carry and 7.4 yards per pass (versus opponents that allow just 4.1 ypr and 7.2 ypp). SMU

Kansas St was the phoniest 10-2 team in college football this season. And in fact, the Wildcats may have been one of the phoniest teams in recent memory of college football. Despite winning 10 games, Kansas St was out-yarded by 55 yards (399-344) per game this season. They were out-gained in 9 of their 12 games as the only three games they had more yards than their opponent came against Eastern Kentucky, Kent St, and Kansas. Those three teams had a combined record of 14-22 this season. Kansas St also won three games this season in which they also lost the turnover battle; just another indication that they were a very fortunate team this season. The Wildcats somehow won a game in Austin against Texas in which they had an incredibly low 121 yards of total offense.
