*3 Star Oregon/Arizona Total Domination* The Oregon Ducks were beaten soundly by LSU in week one, but don't let that fool you into thinking this team isn't dangerous. Oregon's offense is definitely one of the top five in the nation, and they have shown that the last couple weeks. The Ducks put up 69 points against Nevada. They then had 56 points before the end of the third last week against Missouri State before calling off the dogs. Arizona's defense was riddled by Stanford last weekend, and I think Oregon's offense is better. Both Oklahoma State and Stanford scored 37 on Arizona. I expect Oregon to top 40 points here. Oregon's defense is definitely down from a year ago, and Arizona put up 23 on them last year. This has all the makings of a shootout. The over is 16-7 in Oregon's last 23 games. The over is 4-1 in the last 5 matchups between these two. Take the over.

*3 Star Ugly Football Totals Winner* I certainly won't be watching this game on Saturday, and I don't think you should either. Both of these teams aren't very good at all, but I think there is a good value on the total here. Chazz Anderson has helped the Buffalo offense become formidable this year. The Buffalo defense is very bad. The Bulls have been getting gashed on the ground by teams who aren't very good. UConn has a solid ground game and I expect them to use it effectively this week. These teams have played the last two years and the score has been 45-21 and 38-20. The total is set so low here that I like the over.

*3 Star NCAA FB Totals Takedown* The Tulane Green Wave are short-handed in the secondary right now. Southeastern Louisiana threw for 295 yards and Tulsa threw for 246 yards against them. Duke's Sean Renfree has a good understanding of the Blue Devils offense, and he should be able to move this team up and down the field against a weak secondary. Duke's defense is giving up 29 points per game this year. Tulane has a solid quarterback in Ryan Griffin. Griffin should find plenty of open receivers against Duke. The over is 6-1 in Tulane's last 7. The over is 5-1 in Duke's last 6 non-confernce games. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA FB Early Bird Total* The Ole Miss offense is a complete mess right now. The offensive coordinator admitted earlier this week that he decided to reduce the playbook by 25 or 30% this week because the offense just can't get the plays right. The running game has been pretty good the last couple years, but team's are now stacking the box since the Rebels can't throw it much at all. The Rebels defense is only allowing 22.7 points per game, and they should play inspired at home this week against an SEC foe. The under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these teams. TAke the under.

*3 Star NCAA FB Totals TKO* The Michigan Wolverines haven't been quite as dynamic on offense this year, but I think they still can be when they need to be. San Diego State's offense is led by Ryan Lindley, a talented four year starter at quarterback. Ronnie Hillmann is a great sophomore running back for the Aztecs. I expect the Aztecs to be able to move the ball a lot in this one against a subpar Michigan defense. San Diego State has allowed 199 yards per game on the ground, and Denard Robinson should take advantage of that. It is Brady Hoke's new team against his old team this Saturday. I expect a high scoring game. Take the over.

*5 Star Top Play of the Week* Georgia Tech always has one of the best running games in the country since Paul Johnson is their coach. This year Tevin Washington is giving them an extra dimension with his ability to throw the ball. Washington has thrown for more than 600 yards in just three games. He has 7 touchdowns and zero interceptions. How good is the Yellow Jackets rushing attack? The team has three players with at least ten carries this year that are averaging 10 yards or more per carry. On the other side, North Carolina has a budding star in quarterback Bryn Renning. Renning has completed 81% of his passes this year, and he has made this offense much more dynamic. Georgia Tech has scored at least 49 points in each of their 3 games this year. I think both offenses will have a leg up on the defenses here. The over is 7-0 in Georgia Tech's last 7 September games. This is my biggest play of the week. Take the over.

*3 Star College Football Total Domination* The BYU Cougars have played to a 14-13 and 17-16 final in their first two games. At this point, it is pretty clear that the BYU defense is ahead of the offense. The same thing happened last year with this team at the beginning of the season. Utah held a pretty good USC offense in check last weekend. The Utes have a fairly pedestrian offense. The under is 3-1 in the last 4 meetings in this in-state rivalry. The under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings at BYU. I expect both defenses to flex their muscles in this one. Take the under.

*3 Star Oklahoma/FSU Total Domination* Oklahoma's high octane offense will be difficult for anyone to stop this year. The Sooners defense isn't bad, but they certainly aren't one of the best in the land. If Florida State is going to keep up with Oklahoma, they'll have to put up quite a few points in this one. I think the Seminoles are equipped to put together long drives and score some points here. At the same time, I think Oklahoma will wear down the Florida State defense with their fast paced offense. Last year's game saw Oklahoma roll to a 47-17 win. Florida State should be highly motivated in this one, and I expect a high scoring close game here. Take the over.

*3 Star NCAA FB Hidden GEM* It's a battle of two directional Michigan schools in the MAC this Saturday. Central Michigan has a solid secondary led by Jahleel Addae. Western Michigan counts on throwing the football all the time, and if forced to run it, they will have some trouble offensively. Western Michigan probably has the best front four in the MAC, and that should give Ryan Radcliffe and the Central Michigan offense quite a bit of trouble. Central Michigan only put up 21 points against South Carolina State, so their offense isn't too strong. The under is 6-2 in Central Michigan's last 8. The under is 4-1 in the Broncos last 5 home games. Take the under.

*3 Star College Football Totals Takedown* Dana Holgorsen is an offensive minded coach, and everywhere he has been the team's offense has put up points. Geno Smith is a good quarterback for the system and Tavon Austin is a real threat at the wide receiver spot. Maryland's Danny O'Brien is a much better quarterback than most people realize, and the West Virginia defense lot a ton of talent from last year. Maryland rolled up 499 total yards against Miami, and I expect Randy Edsall's team to be a solid balanced offense this year. I like this one to go over the total.

*3 Star NCAA FB Early Bird Special* The Wyoming Cowboys don't have much of a passing attack, but the running game is pretty good. Bowling Green's weakness defensively is stopping the run, so I expect Wyoming to be able to move the ball in this one. Bowling Green runs a west coast offense. Matt Schilz is a solid quarterback and I think the Falcons will score quite a few points this season. The Wyoming secondary is extremely inexperienced, and that should show quite frequently this weekend. Schilz was injured quite a bit last year, but he is healthy this year. I expect Bowling Green totals to move higher as the year goes along. I like the value on the over.

*3 Star College Football Total DOMINATION* The BYU Cougars and the Texas Longhorns are two teams that are quite a bit like each other. Both teams have a quarterback with quite a bit of promise, but they haven't been terribly consistent. Both defenses have had to carry the offenses in the past year, and I expect that to be the case quite a bit in this game. BYU won 14-13 last week, but their last touchdown was a defensive score. Texas struggled in the first three quarters against a terrible Rice defense. Neither team will be able to air it out much in this one. Look for a lot of running that will keep the clock ticking. The under is 6-1 in BYU's last 7 road games. The under is 5-1 in Texas' last 6 home games. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA FB Top Total* After Tyler Bray took over as quarterback last season, the Tennessee offense became much more productive. The team averaged 35.4 points per game in their last five contests last year. They opened by putting up 42 points against Montana last week. Cincinnati has a very skilled quarterback in Zach Collaros. The Bearcats rolled up 72 points against Austin Peay last week. Neither of these teams have a strong defense, and I think this could turn into a track meet. Look for both quarterbacks to have a big day in this one. The over is 8-1 in Tennessee's last 9 home games. The over is 7-0 in the Volunteers last 7 non-conference games. Take the over.

*3 Star College Football Totals TKO* The Kentucky Wildcats beat Western Kentucky 14-3 in week one. Kentucky managed just 190 yards of total offense against a very questionable defense. Without Locke and Cobb Kentucky really lacks playmakers on offense. Central Michigan put up just 256 yards of total offense against South Carolina State last week. Kentucky's defense is a swarming defense, and I suspect the Chippewas will find it difficult to move the ball this week as well. Both teams will try to establish the run, but neither team is very good at running the ball. I expect a lot of punting in this one. Take the under.

*3 Star NCAA FB Hidden GEM* The South Carolina Gamecocks offense is extremely good this year. Marcus Lattimore will be one of the best running backs in the country, and Alshon Jeffery might be the best reciever in the country. Stephen Garcia has gotten better each year and I expect him to have a solid season. East Carolina runs an uptempo offense and they air it out early and often. South Carolina allowed opponents to throw for 242 yards per game last year. Domonique Davis is a very good quarterback and I expect him to take advantage of the Gamecocks secondary. At the same time, East Carolina's defense was absolutely horrendous last year. By many different statistics, they had the worst defense in the entire nation in 2010. Navy scored 76 points on East Carolina while running all over them. Expect South Carolina to be able to do whatever they want in this one. East Carolina's last five games last season all went over the total, and they all finished with at least 71 points total. I think there is a lot of value on the over in this one.

*3 Star NCAA FB Total Domination* The UCLA Bruins were bad last year, and Rick Neuheisel is definitely on the hot seat right now. The single biggest problem for UCLA last season was the weakness defensively. UCLA gave up 30.3 points per game last year. Houston suffered through a difficult season last year, but things should be much different with Case Keenum under center once again. Keenum is one of the nation's best quarterbacks and he'll instantly make this Houston offense great once again. Despite having their third string quarterback playing most of the year, Houston still averaged 37 points per game last year. Expect that number to go up quite a bit this season. Houston's front seven isn't very good at all defensively, and the UCLA Bruins can definitely run the football. Franklin is a very good back for the Bruins, and I expect him to do quite a bit of damage here. The over is 5-2 in UCLA's last 7 road games. The over is 7-1 in Houston's last 8 home games. Take the over.

*3 Star Play of the Day* The Nevada Wolfpack have a great offense, but most people don't know about how great this Boston College defense is, especially against the run. Nevada can throw the ball when necessary, but make no mistake about it, they are a run first team. Boston College is first in the nation in rushing yards allowed per game. The Eagles allow only 73 yards per game on the ground. Even Virginia Tech had a tough time finding any room to run against this BC rushing defense. I suspect Nevada will have more luck with the run than most, because they have a great attack, but I still think the Eagles ability to stop the run will be key here. On offense Boston College is very weak. Boston College did not score more than 23 points in a game against a Division I opponent this year. The Eagles finished the regular season averaging 18.9 points per game. Nevada's run defense is solid, and I don't think BC has the ability to air it out on a consistent basis against the Wolfpack. The under is 5-0 in BC's last 5 games overall. The under is 12-1 in BC's last 13 non-conference games. I like the under a lot in this one.

*3 Star Fiesta Bowl Total DOMINATION* The UConn Huskies are the representative from the Big East in the BCS this year. No doubt this Huskies team is far weaker than the rest of the teams in the BCS, but they do have a very solid running game. Jordan Todman is one of the best backs in the nation, and Oklahoma is ranked 66th in the nation in stopping the run. On the other side of the ball, Oklahoma has a dynamic offense and I think they'll be able to put up points in a hurry in this game. UConn is the 47th ranked total defense in the nation, and they played a weak Big East schedule. Oklahoma's Landry Jones should have a huge game here, and I think DeMarco Murray might break some long runs as well. I like this game to be a high scoring affair. Take the over.

*3 Star Bowl BEATDOWN* The Syracuse Orange are a team that has a very good defense, and a very poor offense. Kansas State's defense isn't very good, but they have a high quality running game. I think Syracuse will stack the box with eight men and force Kansas State to throw the football in this one. I don't believe Coffman is the type of quarterback who can just air it out consistently on Syracuse. Syracuse will look to establish the run here as well, and because of all the consistent runs, the clock should be ticking most of the way. Syracuse has only had two of their ten games against Division I schools go over 48 points this year. Kansas State plays in the high scoring Big 12, but I don't think they will be able to pile up the points in this one. The under is 8-0 in Syracuse's last 8 games with a winning record. I think Syracuse knows in order to win they must control the clock and run the ball. Look for the Orange to help this one stay under the posted total.

*3 Star Alamo Bowl Total DOMINATION* This is a game where both teams have a great passing attack, and I expect the ball to be in the air a whole lot in this matchup. Oklahoma State has the second ranked passing attack in the nation, while Arizona has the ninth best passing attack. Oklahoma State's defense has been absolutely torched by the pass all year long. They are 115th out of 120 schools in Division I allowing 276 yards per game. Arizona's pass defense started the season out well, but they were not good at all in the last few games. The over is 5-1 in Arizona's last 6 games. The over is 4-0 in Oklahoma State's last 4 non-conference games. Both teams have big play guys on offense as well. Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon will likely create some big plays here, and Juron Criner is a nice big play receiver for the Wildcats. I expect this one to go over the posted total as both passing games show just how effective they can be.

*3 Star Military Bowl Major CASH* You simply won't find a worse defense than the East Carolina Pirates. This defense allowed 43.4 points per game this year in a weak Conference USA. At the same time, the ECU offense is very good. The Pirates average 318 yards through the air each game, and they are scoring 38 points per game this year. Maryland's offense has scored 38 points or more in three of their last five contests, so I expect them to score plenty against a terrible ECU defense. Maryland's defense has been weak against the pass all year, which is bad news against the ECU offense. East Carolina's last five games have finished with totals of 84, 111, 96, 100, and 83 points! While 67.5 points seems like a lot, it really isn't when East Carolina is playing. I like this one to make it into the 70's. Take the over here.

*3 Star Hawaii Bowl BEATDOWN* The Hawaii Warriors will get to host a bowl game once again this year. The Warriors and their high-powered offense will take on a Tulsa team that is capable of scoring points in bunches as well. This game should be exciting from start to finish. In Tulsa's last game they pulled off a 56-50 victory over Southern Miss. The good news for Tulsa is they have a very balanced attack on offense. They are the 14th best rushing attack in the nation and the 16th best passing offense. The bad news for Tulsa is they are awful against the pass, and Hawaii is easily the number one ranked passing attack in the country. Tulsa is allowing 306 yards per game through the air for the year. Bryant Moniz is a great quarterback for this Hawaii offensive system, and the Warriors have two great receivers. I really believe Hawaii could score 50 points in this one by themselves, and Tulsa's balanced offense should be able to put up plenty to cover the over. Don't be surprised if this one goes over 80 points. Take the over here.

*3 Star CFB Beef O'Brady's Bowl BEATDOWN* The Southern Miss Golden Eagles have been on my radar all year long. The Golden Eagles have a very good offense which is extremely balanced. They average 461 yards per game, 255 through the air and 206 on the ground. The Golden Eagles average 37.6 points per game. Louisville has a very good running game this year. At first glance the Southern Miss defense looks great against the run (13th in the nation), but they have performed poorly against the top running teams they have played this year. Tulsa averaged 6.7 yards per carry and South Carolina averaged 6.4 yards per carry. I think Louisville will be able to move the ball well against a banged up and mediocre Southern Miss defense. In the same manner, Louisville has a top ranked (9th in the nation) pass defense, but who have they played? The Big East conference has no great passing games, and I fully believe this will be the best passing team they have played yet. I expect both teams to score plenty in this one. Take the over.

*3 Star Army/Navy Bookie CRUSHER* The great rivalry between Army and Navy will be played on Saturday and I expect a hard hitting battle. These two teams have the utmost respect for each other, but they love nothing more than to defeat the other squad. Both teams run the football extremely well, and neither of them throw it much at all. That fact alone helps the under since the clock will be rolling almost all game long. Additionally, Army is much better this year than in the past, and their run defense is in the top 35 nationwide, so I expect a closer game than in past years. The fact that both teams understand the triple option very well helps them defend it better than the average team. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 games and I believe the under is the best play for Saturday as well.

*3 Star Nebraska/Oklahoma Play* This will be the Nebraska Cornhuskers final game in the Big 12 Conference. Nebraska will definitely be looking to complete some unfinished business after their last second loss to Texas in this game last year. Oklahoma is a team that looks much better in their last few games. There are some key injuries in this game. Taylor Martinez and DeMarco Murray are both questionable in this one. My guess is that both will play at least some, but they are both hurt pretty badly and I think that will make them less effective than normal. Oklahoma is very reliant on their passing attack, and Nebraska has the second best pass defense in all of college football. I expect Nebraska to pressure Landry Jones and make things difficult for him. On the other side, Nebraska relies on their running game. I think Oklahoma will do their best to stack the box and make Nebraska throw it in this one. A hobbled Martinez will make it more difficult for Nebraska to be effective running the ball. These two teams played to a 10-3 final last year. A game of this magnitude often stays lower scoring as well, as the Texas/Nebraska game last year did. I like the under in this one.

*3 Star College Football Bookie BEATDOWN* The Washington Huskies and the Washington State Cougars will battle for the Apple Cup in Pullman on Saturday night. It has been cold and snowy all week in Pullman, and it is expected to be very cold again Saturday night. This is a pretty good rivalry game that most people don't follow very closely. The Huskies offense has struggled of late, scoring just 14 points per game in their last five overall. Washington State relies on the passing game, and Washington's secondary is solid. The Huskies are allowing only 193 passing yards per game this year. In the last two years the total has finished at 30 and 29 points when these two have met. I expect this to be a close hard-fought game, and I think the value is on the under.

*3 Star College Football Total DOMINATION* The Oregon Ducks have the highest powered offense in college football. Oregon State's defense has been terrible this year, especially of late. Oregon will definitely want to keep putting up the points in this rivalry game, and I think they could easily get to 45 or 50 points in this one. Oregon State will playing in front of the home crowd, and I expect Quizz Rodgers and the rest of the offense to put some points up against Oregon. The history between these two is for this game to be an absolute shootout. The over is 8-0 in the last 8 meetings between these two teams. Oregon State's poor rushing defense should get exposed by the Oregon Ducks amazing running game. I think this is the type of game where there will be a ton of huge plays. I like the over here.

*3 Star NCAA Football Total DOMINATION* The Vanderbilt Commodores have done a nice job competing this season. Their head coach quit just days before the season and the team has very little offense, but the defense fights hard. Wake Forest and Vanderbilt both are lacking quite badly at the skill positions on offense, as evidenced by their recent offensive outputs. In their last three games, Vanderbilt is averaging 14.7 points per game. Wake Forest is averaging just 8.7 points per game in that time span. I don't expect either team to establish much of a consistent offense in this one, but there will probably be some points scored because of turnovers. I think the oddsmakers set this one too high. A game with two teams that are dreadful offensively looks like a nice opportunity on the under to me.

*3 Star Early Bird Special* The Clemson Tigers have had an interesting season. The defense has risen up and played extremely well. The offense has been disappointing. This combination has led to seven straight Clemson games going under the posted total. In fact, the highest total score of those seven games was 40 points. South Carolina has struggled badly against good passing offenses, but Clemson doesn't have the weapons to air it out consistently against the Gamecocks. I look for both teams to try to establish the running game in this one, which will keep the clock rolling. South Carolina has already wrapped up the SEC East, and Clemson will be fired up for this one, so I expect a close game that goes down to the wire. The books still haven't adjusted enough for Clemson's recent trends toward the under. Take the under here.

*3 Star CFB Hidden GEM* The Rice Owls are the best 'over' team in all of college football over the last few years. The over is 57-18 in their last 75 games overall. It's hard to believe a trend could continue that long for one team, but it just keeps on going. The over is 31-8 in their last 39 conference games. Taylor McHargue has taken over as the Owls starting quarterback, and he looked great in his first start last week. McHargue was a highly touted recruit, and much is expected of him. Rice racked up more than 600 yards of offense last week and scored 62 points. The UAB offense is all about the passing game, which is a good thing against Rice. Rice has the single worst pass defense in college football this year. The Owls are allowing 309 yards per game through the air. The Rice defense has allowed at least 38 points in each of their last four games. UAB will be able to put up a lot of points here, and Rice's new quarterback should help them make this game an all out track meet. Take the over.

*3 Star CFB Bookie CRUSHER* The Kentucky Wildcats have been impressive on offense this year. Kentucky is averaging 35 points per game. Mike Hartline has done a nice job at the starting quarterback position, and Randell Cobb and Derrick Locke give the offense two great play makers. Tennessee has improved a lot on the offensive side as the season has gone along. They have put up more than 38 points per game in the last three contests. Neither team has a defense that has proved it can stop many teams for an entire game. I expect a lot of big plays in this game. The over is 9-2 in Kentucky's 11 games this year. The over is 9-2 in Tennessee's 11 games this year. The over is also 6-0 in Tennessee's last 6 games at home. Take the over in this one.

*3 Star Turkey Trimmings Totals Winner* The UCLA Bruins have had a long season, and that is largely due to their one dimensional offense. Johnathan Franklin is a very good running back, but it is tough to find room to run when you virtually never get anything going through the air. UCLA ranks 117th in the nation in pass offense, averaging just 117 yards per game. Arizona State's defense is stout against the run, which should mean the Bruins will struggle to score in this one. The Sun Devils are allowing only 122 yards per game on the ground this year. UCLA's defense is weak against the run, but solid against the pass. Arizona State is pass first type of offense, so once again I see the defense holding up fairly well here. The trends are very strong for this one as well. The under is 21-6-1 in UCLA's last 28 PAC 10 games. The under is 32-15 in Arizona State's last 47 games overall. The under is also 4-0 in their last 4 meetings with each other. Take the under here.

*3 Star Friday Totals Feast* The East Carolina defense is as bad as any defense in all of college football. In fact, East Carolina is dead last in Division I in points allowed at 43 per game. Rice put up 62 points on them last week, and Rice had been struggling offensively. Navy put up 76 points on them earlier this year as well. SMU hasa very solid offense and I fully expect them to score a bunch. On the other side, East Carolina has a terrific offense. Dominique Davis leads a high powered passing attack for the Pirates. They average 319 yards per game through the air, and the offense as a whole puts up 38 points per game. The weakness of the SMU defense is their secondary, which should mean ECU will pile up the yards and points in this one as well. This one could be a very high scoring game. I like the over in this one.

*3 Star Hidden GEM Total* The Navy Midshipmen have gotten their ground game working once again this year. They started off a little slowly, but they have been racking up the yards in the last few games. They average 303 yards per game on the ground. Arkansas State's defense is absolutely terrible. The Red Wolves are allowing 206 yards per game on the ground this year, which is 110th in the nation. On the other side, Arkansas State has a pretty good passing game. They are 22nd in the nation in passing yards. Navy has struggled against solid passing teams this year. Navy is allowing 234 yards per game on the ground. The last three games for Navy have finished with totals of 65, 101, and 75. The last four games for Arkansas State have finished with totals of 70, 53, 75, and 71. The over is 4-0 in both teams last 4 games. I like the over a lot in this one.

*3 Star SEC Showdown Total* Ole Miss has been a big disappointment this year. Their defense was supposed to be solid this year, but they have been pretty bad. LSU's defense is one of the very best in the country. LSU ranks sixth in the nation in points allowed at just 14.6 points per game. The LSU offense has struggled all year, especially when it comes to throwing the football. Mississippi has been decent against the run, but LSU should be able to get plenty of yards on the ground. I am counting on LSU's defense to rise up at home like they have consistently for the last few years. The under is 12-2 in their last 14 home games. 10 of their last 11 games at home have finished at 51 points or less. I think it will be difficult for the Rebels to consistently move the ball against this defense. I like the under in this one.

*3 Star CFB Totals Terrorizer* At first glance you might think it is crazy to be playing an over on a total set at 72 points. Look at the numbers though, and you'll see this is a very good value. East Carolina's offense is extremely productive, and they run an uptempo offense. The Pirates have scored at least 35 points in each of their last four games. They have the #5 passing attack in the nation. Rice's secondary is horrible, in fact they are the second worst in the country against the pass. East Carolina could very well put up more than 50 points in this one. At the same time, Rice should be able to put up plenty of points as well against an East Carolina defense that is allowing 41 points per game for the year. This one should be one heck of a shootout. Take the over here.

*3 Star CFB Early Bird Special* The Troy State Trojans have a great offense, but their defense is horrible. South Carolina's offense has been very good this year, but they have struggled defensively against teams with a solid passing attack. South Carolina is ranked 107th in the nation in pass defense, and Troy is ranked 13th in the nation in passing. Troy should be able to score several points in this game. On the other side, Troy has allowed 35 and 52 points against North Texas and FIU respectively in their last two games. The Gamecocks have a better offense than both of those teams, and even if they are a bit flat after last week's big win they should be able to score more than 40 in this one. How about a couple great 100% angles for this game? The over is 8-0 in Troy's last 8 games against an SEC opponent. The over is also 4-0 in South Carolina's last four home games. Take the over here.

*3 Star TGIF Style Bookie Basher* The Boise State Broncos are on a mission to prove to the public that they are worthy of a BCS National Title berth. The team knows they not only need to win, but they must win big from here on out. This is one of their best chances to do it on a national stage against a Fresno State program that has a quality reputation in college football. Fresno allowed 55 points against Ole Miss earlier this year, and 34 against Louisiana Tech. Boise State has a better offense than both of these teams. Fresno State's offense has scored at least 33 points in each of their last four games, and the over is 6-2 in their last 8 overall. I think Boise State puts up at least 45-50 points by themselves, and Fresno should be able to put up the rest. I like the over in this game.

*3 Star ABC Showdown Moneymaker* The Texas Longhorns are having a terrible season. Mack Brown's team is now 4-5 overall and 2-7 ATS this year. Oklahoma State is 8-1 overall and 7-2 ATS. There is one thing that stands out to be about the line that the oddsmakers have set on this game. The posted total is 56 points. Texas has yet to have a game this year finish with a total score of more than 53 points. Sure Oklahoma State has a great offense, but this Texas defense is very good. Oklahoma State has a weak defense, but Texas' offense has been awful this year. Oklahoma State is the third ranked passing attack in the nation, but Texas ranks second in the nation in pass defense. Oklahoma State is particularly weak in the secondary, but I don't think Texas has the weapons to beat them deep. The under is 16-5 in Oklahoma State's last 21 road games. The under is 6-2 in Texas' last 8 home games. Take the under here.

*3 Star CFB Total Domination Play* The Stanford Cardinal are playing very solid football. Andrew Luck is a great quarterback and the Cardinal have a solid running game as well. Arizona State has been a bit of a surprise in the Pac 10, and their offense is much better this year with Steven Threet under center. The thing about Threet is he is a high risk/high reward type of quarterback. He has 17 touchdown, but he also has 15 interceptions. Don't be surprised if Stanford picks him a couple times and gets a quick score or two that way. The Arizona State secondary has has serious trouble against good quarterbacks this year, and this is the best quarterback they have played yet. I like Arizona State to be able to score on their home field and keep this one close, but the offenses should have the upper hand the entire way in this one. Take the over.

*3 Star Total Domination Play* The Baylor Bears were throttled last weekend at Oklahoma State. They'll go home this week to a more friendly environment, where they are 4-0 this year. I expect Baylor's offense to play better, as they average 42.5 points per game at home. On the other hand, the defense has been allowing 40 points per game in their last three outings. Ryan Tannehill has taken over the quarterback duties at Texas A&M, and he has done a great job thus far. Tannehill is completing 68.6% of his passes and he has nine touchdown passes in just three games. In those three games the Aggies are averaging 41 points per game. Texas A&M has a solid rushing defense, but they can't stop the pass. Baylor averages 300 yards per game through the air. Baylor's defense can't stop the pass, and the Aggies have the ninth ranked pass offense in the nation. What about the trends? The over is 5-1 in Baylor's last six. The over is 28-10-1 in the Aggies last 39 road games. Both teams will it air it out early and often in this one. Expect a bunch of points and a good game. I like the over in this one.

*3 Star Georgia/Auburn Guaranteed Play* The Auburn Tigers are in the driver's seat for a national title berth, but the road is far from easy the rest of the way. Georgia is a team that is definitely getting its act together over the last few games. Auburn's defense has proven susceptible this year, and I think Georgia will be able to exploit some of those weaknesses. At the same time, Georgia's defense is weak, and Auburn should roll up a ton of yards in this one. Cam Newton is the Heisman front runner right now, and this Auburn offense is firing on all cylinders. The Tigers are averaging 48.5 points per game in their last six games. Georgia's defense gave up 31 points to Kentucky and 34 to Florida, and Auburn is a much better offense than those two teams. How will Georgia do it on offense? Aaron Murray and the passing game will go after Auburn's weak secondary. The over is 5-1 in Georgia's last 6. The over is 4-1 in Auburn's last 5. The over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two. Take the over in this huge matchup!

*5 Star TGIF Top Play DOMINATOR* The Boise State Broncos are obviously going to be looking to keep their foot on the gas to impress the voters the rest of the way. This team isn't likely to lose, but they might not get into the BCS Title game unless things fall their way. Idaho is the perfect team for Boise State to run up the score on. The teams don't like each other at all, and Idaho has one of the worst defenses in all of football. Take a look at the stats from last week: Idaho allowed 844 yards to Nevada. Yes that's right 844 yards in one game. If a defense allows 844 yards in two games they are pretty bad, but allowing that in one game is ridiculous. Last week Boise State rolled up 737 yards against Hawaii, who actually has a much better defense than Idaho. Kellen Moore will have a field day in this game, and the Broncos running game will go nuts as well. Idaho's passing game will probably get them a couple touchdowns in this one, which should be plenty to push this one over the posted total. In the last six meetings between these two, the total has finished at 68 points or higher five times. Take the over in a big way in this game.

*3 Star ESPN Saturday Night Bookie Crusher* Ryan Mallett and Arkansas will bring the top ranked passing attack in the SEC into South Carolina this Saturday night. The Gamecocks are ranked dead last in the SEC in pass defense and they have been giving up the yards in bunches over the last few games. The South Carolina offense is balanced and they have averaged 31 points per game this season. Arkansas' defense is better than last year, but they have a lot of room for improvement. I expect Lattimore and the running game of South Carolina to really hurt Arkansas in this one. The over is 5-1 in South Carolina's last six games overall. The over is 6-2 in Arkansas' eight games this year. Both of these offenses will be ready to go, and I look for plenty of points in this one. Take the over here.

*5 Star Hidden Gem Total Play* Louisiana Lafayette has had some ridiculously high totals in their games this year. The team plays at a very quick tempo and they have absolutely no defense at all. Four of their last five games have gone over the posted total, and the least amount of points they have given up in that span is 31. This team even allowed 54 points against a Western Kentucky team that went winless last year. Mississippi has been putting points up in bunches of late as Jeremiah Masoli seems to be getting accustomed to the offense. In their last three home games they have averaged 43 points per game. The Rebels pass defense is allowing 244 yards per game through the air, and UL Lafayette has a good passing attack. The over is 6-1 in Mississippi's last 7 home games. The over is 4-1 in Lafayette's last 5 games overall. Get ready for a shootout in this one. Take the over in a big way!

*5 Star Top Play Oddsmaker Line Error* It's a matchup of the Bulldogs from the south and the bulldogs from the west coast in this one. I believe the oddsmakers have made a significant error when setting this total. Fresno State is averaging 34 points per game on the year. Fresno State is averaging 41 points per game in their last four road games. Louisiana Tech's defense is allowing 298 yards per game through the air, and Ryan Colburn from Fresno has the skills to take advantage of that. On the other side, Fresno State's defense is weak against the run. They rank 62nd in the nation in run defense, while Louisiana Tech has been running the ball very well of late. Lousiana Tech even moved the ball pretty well last week against Boise State. This one is all about matchups, and both offenses have the firepower to exploit the weakness of the defenses. The trends also point to the over. The over is 4-0 in Fresno's last 4 road games. The over is 6-1-1 in La. Tech's last 8 conference games. The over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two. This number is set too low. Take the over here!

*5 Star HUGE CFB Play of the Week* The Navy Midshipmen have the 10th best rushing attack in the country. East Carolina has the 92nd ranked rushing defense in the nation. East Carolina's offense is averaging 37 points per game, and Navy is coming off a game where they gave up 34 points to the Duke Blue Devils. This is your classic game of mismatches on both sides, and the offense will have the leg up constantly. Ruffin McNeill has turned the Pirates into an uptempo team like Texas Tech has been for many years. The over is 5-3 in East Carolina's eight games this year. Three of Navy's last four games have gone over the posted total as their defense seems to be breaking down and the offense continues to run the option efficiently. This is a game where I expect both teams to be able to score early and often. I am making the over in this game my five star play of the week.

*3 Star TGIF NCAA Football Blowout* The UCF Knights are at the top of the Conference USA East Division, while Houston is at the top of the West Division. Houston has had all kinds of injury problems, but they have started playing good football again the last couple weeks. Houston is averaging 44 points per game in their last three meetings. UCF has the best defense in the conference, but they did allow 37 points against Houston at home last year. On the flip side, Houston's run defense is terrible. There is only one thing UCF can do, and that is run the football. Expect the Knights to break some huge runs in this matchup. Also, both of these teams commit quite a few turnovers, so I expect the offenses to get a short field fairly often. This Friday night game on ESPN looks like a high scoring affair to me. Take the over.

*3 Star Hawaiian Style Bookie Beatdown* Idaho will visit Hawaii Saturday night in what should be a very entertaining WAC Conference matchup. The Idaho Vandals have improved a ton over the last couple years, and they have a great quarterback in Nathan Enderle. Enderle already has 2,053 yards through the air this year, and I fully expect Idaho to be able to throw the ball on Hawaii. The Hawaii pass offense can throw the football on anyone, and Idaho's defense isn't very good at all. Hawaii is averaging 401 yards per game through the air, and I think they'll top that number in this game. This game should be an all out aerial assault from both teams. The over is 12-5 in Idaho's last 17 games overall, as the books have yet to catch up with the Vandals improvement on offense. The over is 3-1-1 in Hawaii's last 5 home games. The winner in this one will probably need to score at least 40 points. Take the over here.

*3 Star Hidden Gem Total* The San Jose State Spartans and the New Mexico State Aggies are both absolutely terrible football teams. Both of them come into this game with just one win. San Jose State averages 10 points per game on offense and New Mexico State averages 12.4 points per game. These two are 117th and 119th in the nation in total offense. Remember, there are only 120 teams in Division One NCAA Football. Basically, you couldn't find a matchup of two worse offenses than this one. Last year these teams played to a horribly ugly 13-10 final score. I think something similar is quite likely again this year. The under is 41-19-2 in San Jose State's last 61 games. The under is 4-0 in New Mexico State's last four. The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two. Take the under here.

*3 Star Oddsmaker Line Error Totals Winner* If you look at Texas A&M's offensive statistics you'll see that they rack up the yards, but often fail to punch it in the end zone. The Texas Tech defense is likely just what the doctor ordered for this team. Texas Tech has allowed 24, 34, 38, and 52 points in their last four games. The Red Raiders offense is pass happy as always, with Taylor Potts leading the show. They average 311 yards through the air and Texas A&M is ranked 85th in the nation in pass defense. Both of these teams love to air it out, and both defenses struggle to stop the passing attack, so I think 65 or 70 points is quite likely here. In 2008 these two put up 68 points and last year they totaled 82 points in their meeting in Lubbock. Expect this one to be full of fireworks. Take the over.

*3 Star PAC 10 Totals Winner* The UCLA Bruins have a solid running game and a pathetic passing game. Arizona's defense is ranked 7th in the nation against the run, so don't expect the Wildcats to allow Franklin to run all over them. They know the Bruins can't throw it, so they will stack up the box. On the other side, Arizona has a decent backup quarterback in Matt Scott, but they definitely miss Nick Foles in a big way. Foles is the main leader for their offense and is extremely comfortable running this system, but he is out with a knee injury. UCLA's defense has been inconsistent this year, but I think they will fare well against a Wildcats offense that struggles to protect the passer and has a backup quarterback under center. The under is 22-8 in UCLA's last 30 home games. Take the under in this one.

*3 Star College Football Early Bird Special* The UAB Blazers nearly upset Mississippi State on the road last weekend. Bryan Ellis has moved into the starting quarterback spot and this team has moved the ball well through the air of late. Ellis is averaging 278 passing yards per game in the last five contests. Southern Miss has a great run defense, but they are susceptible to giving up yards through the air. The Golden Eagles allowed 305 passing yards against East Carolina and 237 against lowly Memphis last weekend. Southern Miss will probably be without their star wideout, DeAndre Brown, but they have been efficient without him as well. UAB's defense gives up the big play often, and Southern Miss is averaging 42 points per game in their last three games. The over is 5-1 in Southern Miss' last six home games. I like this one to go over the posted total.

*3 Star Curious Odds Totals Winner* The Kentucky Wildcats have certainly improved in a big way under Joker Phillips the last few weeks. Last weekend they stunned South Carolina, and the weekend before they nearly beat Auburn. This weekend Georgia comes to town to take on the Wildcats. Georgia started the year 1-4, but they have won two straight. The Bulldogs have found a nice young quarterback in Aaron Murray. Georgia will definitely be able to put up points against this Kentucky defense that allows 30 points per game. At the same time, the Wildcats have an impressive offensive system now that utilizes Randall Cobb's talents. While you may not know about them, Kentucky has a ton of athletes on the offensive side of the ball. The over is 6-0 in Kentucky's last 6 games and the last two meetings between these two have been shootouts. I like the over here.

*3 Star Hidden Gem Total* The Utah Utes have an extremely dynamic offense this year, as evidenced by their 46 points per game. The Colorado State defense allows 411 yards per game and 32 points. Jordan Wynn and this Utah offense should be able to get into the 40's against this defense quite easily. Earlier this year the Rams had no offense whatsoever, but they have been improving quite a bit. Leonard Mason has rushed by over 100 yards in their last two games and they have scored 27 and 43 points in those two games. Utah's defense is good, but I fully expect them to be winning this game by a bunch and put in the backups late in the game. The Rams should definitely be able to put up a couple scores on Utah here, and I think this total gets well above this number. The over is 5-2 in Utah's last 7 and 8-3-1 in Colorado State's last 12 road games. Take the over.

*3 Star Totals Terrorizer* The Utah State Aggies are a different offense when they are at home. On the road they are averaging just 12.33 points per game, but at home they are putting up 31 points per game. Diondre Borel is a solid quarterback and this Aggies squad has been running the football pretty well of late. Hawaii is coming off their huge win over Nevada last weekend. The Warriors have the top ranked passing attack in the nation, and Utah State's defense is ranked 85th in the nation in pass defense. I fully expect Bryant Moniz to have a huge game in this one. At the same time, Hawaii's defense struggles badly on the road. They are allowing 30 points per game on the road this year. In the last five meetings between these two the over is 4-1. Expect this to be a track meet where both teams move the ball effectively early and often. Take the over in this one!

*3 Star Total Domination Play* The Wyoming Cowboys and the BYU Cougars have two of the worst offenses in all of college football this year. BYU is averaging 14.7 points per game and Wyoming is averaging 11.6. The under is 5-2 in Wyoming's 7 games this year. The under is 7-0 in BYU's 7 games this season. This is a game where I expect both teams to come out and try to establish the running game. Neither offense will be in any hurry, and both will struggle to punch it in the end zone. The biggest concern is probably touchdowns given up by way of a turnover because of how inept these two offenses are. The books adjusted this total down a bit, but I don't think they moved it nearly low enough. Don't be surprised if this game ends with a score of 13-6 or something ridiculously low. I really like the under here.

*3 Star Hidden Gem of the Week* The Troy Trojans are the class of the Sun Belt Conference, but their defense isn't up to par this year. Both Troy and La. Lafayette like to hurry to the line and air it out early and often. This game may take a while, and I fully expect a lot of points to be scored. Troy allows 272 passing yards per game and opponents are averaging 29 points per game on their defense as well. Louisiana Lafayette allows 276 passing yards per game and a ridiculous 39 points per game. Both offenses have a strong passing game and both defenses are weak against the pass, so this appears to be a great matchup for a ton of points to be scored. The over is 5-1 in Lafayette's last 6 and 7-2 in Troy's last 9 games overall. Take the over here.

*3 Star SEC Showdown Total Shocker Alert* The Arkansas Razorbacks can air it out as well as anyone in the country. Auburn struggles mightily against the pass. Auburn can run the football as well as anyone in college football. Arkansas struggles to defend the run. Cam Newton and Ryan Mallett are both stars at the quarterback position and I fully expect them to shine on Saturday. Both of these teams have plenty to play for in the SEC West, so this should be a heck of a battle. Last year's game finished with a total of 67, and these offenses are probably a little better this year! The winner of this game is going to have to put up quite a few points! I like the value on the over in this one!

*3 Star Big East Total* The Pitt Panthers have been a major disappointment so far this year and the Syracuse Orange have been a big surprise. Syracuse has a stout defense and Pitt also has a pretty solid defense. The Panthers are allowing just 95 yards per game on the ground, and Syracuse is a team that likes to run the ball first. On the other side, Syracuse is allowing just 14.8 points per game, and they have held their opponents in single digits in four of their five games this season. The under is 5-1 in Syracuse's last 6 home games. The under is 4-1 in Pittsburgh's last 5 road games. Expect both offenses to struggle to get into the end zone in this one. The value is on the under here.

*3 Star Break the Bookies Total* The Rice Owls have been an over machine for the last few years. The over is a stunning 52-17 in their last 69 games. This year the Rice offense is a little worse than some years, but UTEP has a horrific defense and they'll allow the Owls to score plenty. At the same time, Rice has what may be the worst defense in the country. UTEP has a good running back in Buckram and Trevor Vittatoe is plenty capable of picking apart this Rice secondary. The over is 7-3 in UTEP's last 10 overall. The over is 21-5 in Rice's last 26 road games. The over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between these two. Two bad defenses and teams that can score points in bunches means the over is a great play here!

*3 Star Ugly Football Moneymaker* It doesn't have to be pretty to make cash. I'll be the first to tell you that there is no way I would go see these two teams play football against each other. These two are both horrific on offense and I just don't see them being able to put up this many points. The biggest concern I have here is that the offenses and special teams are so bad that they may give up a punt block or an interception return for a touchdown. Even if they do, I think at this level we have enough of a cushion for a nice play on the under. Last year they played to a 20-17 final and I think a similar score this year is quite likely. Expect a sloppy game with penalties and two terrible rushing attacks trying to get going. I like the under here.

*3 Star Pac 10 Total Play* The UCLA Bruins are not nearly as good on defense as they were a year ago. They are allowing 24 points per game and 366 total yards per game. While UCLA has almost no passing game, the Bruins do have a very good running back in Johnathan Franklin. Cal's defense is decent, but stopping the run is a problem for them at times. Kevin Riley has been much better at home and this Cal offense as a whole does have some pretty good play makers. Shane Vereen should have a big day. In the last six meetings between these two, the total has hit at least 51 points every single time. I think this is the type of game where some points could be scored on special teams or by the defense, which is a nice perk. The total is set quite low at just 48 points, so I'm taking the over as a great value bet here.

*3 Star CFB Early Bird Special* The Ball State Cardinals don't have much an offense. The Cardinals can't throw the ball hardly at all, but they can control the ball by running it fairly often. Western Michigan is having serious problems breaking in their new quarterback and they have absolutely no running game. Last year these two put up 39 points, and both teams had a better offense then than they do this season. This is the type of game where Ball State will likely try to control the football and take some time off the clock, while Western Michigan will struggle in the red zone as they have all year long. This one should be close all the way to the end, but I don't think they'll put up this many points. Take the under.

*5 Star CFB Late Night Gem* The UNLV Rebels have one of the worst rushing defenses in the nation. In 2009 the Rebels gave up 221 yards per game on the ground, and Nevada ran up a ridiculous total of 559 yards on the ground! In 2008 at UNLV, Nevada rolled up 444 yards on the ground. This Rebels defense has absolutely no answer for the Nevada running game engineered by Colin Kaepernick. Nevada's pass defense isn't that great, and UNLV has a decent passing offense. I expect the Rebels to put up a solid amount of points at home, primarily through the passing game. Nevada will likely get ahead early and UNLV will throw constantly to try to come back. Both offenses are far better than the defenses, and I think 70 points or more between the two is quite likely. Take the over here!

*3 Star Stanford/Oregon Huge Winner* The Stanford Cardinal and the Oregon Ducks have been as impressive as anyone in the country so far this year. Oregon leads the nation in points per game at 57.8 and Stanford is fourth at 48. Oregon's uptempo rushing offense has yet to be stopped and I don't think Stanford will be able to stop it either. Stanford's Andrew Luck may be the best quarterback in the nation and he can beat a team by running or throwing the football. Jim Harbaugh's team is playing inspired football this year and they will definitely come ready for this huge game. Oregon has the edge in the speed category, but Stanford has amazing offensive chemistry. The stats point strongly to the over in this one. The over is 9-2 in Oregon's last 11 games. The over is 7-2 in Stanford's last 9 games. The over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings between these two. This should be an etertaining game, and I fully expect a high scoring shootout. Take the over here.

*3 Star Smash the Books Total* In the last three games Toledo has been able to put quite a few points on the board. If you just looked at the final score you would assume the offense has been impressive. That actually hasn't been the case at all. The defense is forcing all kinds of turnovers and putting the offense in great position. The Toledo offense is ranked 116th in the nation in total yards per game. I find it hard to believe that Toledo will keep scoring a ton of points without hardly any consistent offense. Wyoming has the 119th ranked offense in the country, and they have scored just 27 points in three games against Division One opponents. I think this line is inflated because of Toledo's recent high scoring games that were a bit of a fluke. I like the under in this one.

*3 Star CFB Totals Terrorizer* The Idaho Vandals are a much improved football team, but their defense is just terrible. Last week they allowed Colorado State, who had scored a combined 19 points in their first three games, to score a ridiculous total of 36 points. Western Michigan has the fourth ranked passing offense in the nation and Idaho can't defend the pass. Idaho can score proficiently though, and Nathan Enderle is one of better quarterbacks you haven't heard of. The oddsmakers still haven't caught up to the Idaho trends. The over is 31-11 in Idaho's last 42 games. The over is 20-8 in Idaho's last 28 games. These two teams met two years ago and the final was 51-28. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see a total of 70 points or more scored here. I love the value on the over 57 here.

*3 Star Hidden Gem Special* The New Mexico Lobos are giving up exactly 60 points per game in their first three games this year. Their "best" defensive showing so far was when they allowed 52 points against Texas Tech. UNLV's defense is allowing "only" 36.33 points per game this year. UNLV's offense has been much better at home over the last few years, and I would expect their passing attack to get going some in this one. New Mexico has been playing uptempo and they will likely put up several points as well against a horribly weak UNLV front seven. This is the type of game where there could easily be several turnovers that lead directly to touchdowns as well. It will be an ugly game and you won't want to watch, but it is a hidden gem to make some money off of! Take the over.

*3 Star CFB Terrific Total* The Rice Owls had the worst defense in all of college football last year. For the entire year in 2009 they allowed 43 points per game. The Owls defense has fared a little better so far this year, but I think Baylor will be the best offense they have faced yet. Robert Griffin III is a terrific play maker at the quarterback spot, and I fully expect him to hurt this Rice defense in a big way. The fact that Baylor was embarrassed last week against TCU makes me feel even more confident that the Bears will come out ready to go in this one. Rice should be able to put up some points here as well, but I fully expect Baylor to get most of the way to the over by themselves. I like the over in this one.

*3 Star SEC Super Total* I really think these teams match up very evenly, especially with this game being played at Mississippi State. Mississippi State's strength is their strong run defense, and Georgia's strength is their run game. Georgia's defense has struggled against the run this year, but Mississippi State doesn't appear to have the players to take advantage of that weakness. Mississippi State held Auburn to just 17 points at home and Auburn has a much better offense than Georgia at this point. Georgia's defense held South Carolina to just 17 points. I think in the end this will be a very tight contest where both teams do quite a bit of running the football. Expect this to go down to the wire and expect it to stay under the posted total.

*3 Star CFB Total Domination* The Air Force Falcons and Wyoming Cowboys met last year and Air Force won 10-0. I fully expect them to score more points than that this time around, but the matchup between these two is perfect for a low scoring game. Air Force has a great pass defense which should slow down the Cowboys in a big way, and Wyoming really has no running game at all. Air Force will run the ball well, but that also means the clock will roll consistently. In the last three years the highest total in a matchup of these two teams was 32 points. I think Air Force will get the lead here and then absolutely grind this game away by running it every single play. I like the under a lot in this one.

*3 Star Early Bird College Football Play* The Connecticut Huskies and the Buffalo Bulls have both adopted a faster paced offense this year. Both teams like to get to the line quickly and try to catch the defense off guard. Connecticut has a great offensive line and a great running back in Todman. I fully expect the Huskies to be able to score early and often against Buffalo. At the same time, UConn's defense has underperformed and their inability to avoid turnovers on offense will likely lead to some points for the Bulls. The pace of the game should help this one get over the posted total. I like the over here.

*3 Star CFB Total Dominator* The Thundering Herd of Marshall had West Virginia beat last weekend, but let them off the hook. Marshall's defense looks very solid and I think their offense looks very shaky so far this year. Brian Anderson can't be trusted to throw the ball too often, so I expect Holliday and the Herd to run it here. Bowling Green lost a ton of star power from last year's squad and they only put up 20 points against a terrible Tulsa defense last weekend. I look for Marshall's experienced defense to give BG trouble here and the Marshall offense to continue to struggle with inconsistency. The under looks like the play here.

*3 Star Break the Books Back Play* The Rockets of Toledo have offensive issues this year. Austin Dantin has struggled mightily at the quarterback spot and they don't have any star running backs on their squad. Toledo has scored just 22 points in their first two games combined. Western Michigan was high flying offense in recent years with Tim Hiller at the helm, but Alex Carder is there now. Carder is a solid player, but he is more of a dual-threat quarterback rather than a drop back passer. I believe the line on this one is inflated based upon the teams offensive outputs from last year. These are very teams this year, and I think the under is a solid play here.

*3 Star ABC Showdown Big Play* The Cornhuskers of Nebraska have their first test of the season as they travel to Washington and take on the Jake Locker led Huskies. Nebraska's defense and running game are their two biggest strengths, and they know it. With a freshman quarterback don't expect the Huskers to air it out often. Washington's defense has looked decent against the run thus far this year, and this crowd will help pump them up in a big way on Saturday. I think Nebraska is the better team, but this is definitely a tough spot for them. Expect Nebraska's defense to hold Locker down better than most and expect the Huskers to play it safe on offense. I like the under.

*3 Star Super Value Play* I nominate Colorado State as quite possibly the worst offense in all of college football. The Rams have played two below average defenses in Colorado and Nevada, and have put up a total of 9 points! The Redhawks of Miami (OH) showed against Florida that they have a gritty defense. I really don't think the Rams have a big game here. The Rams defense is decent, with a solid linebacker unit and plenty of veterans on the field. I think Miami wins this game, but I don't think they have the offense to run up the score. This one should be an ugly game, but the under looks like a super value!

*Saturday NCAA FB Early Bird Special* The Temple Owls have turned into a decent team over the last couple years as Al Golden has really made this team believe. Connecticut is still the team with more talent here, but Temple will play with a ton of pride on their home field. In 2007 and 2008 these teams played and the score finished well under the posted total. In fact, in 2008 it was a 12-9 final in overtime. Temple's defense is defenitely its stronger unit, and UConn has a strong defensive line that will keep Temple from getting big gains in the running game. Both teams will want to run the ball as much as possible, which will definitely help the clock tick away quickly. Expect a ball control type of game with both defenses stepping up. Take the under.

*3 Star Total Value Play* The New Mexico Lobos are one of the worst teams in all of college football. The Lobos have one single area of their team where they are decent, and that is the defensive line and stopping the run. If you know Texas Tech very well at all, then you know they are all about airing it out. This Lobos secondary will get torched week in and week out, and this might be the biggest mismatch they'll have all year. How did New Mexico fare last week? They were CRUSHED 72-0 against Oregon. Oregon actually led 59-0 at halftime! The Ducks had 351 passing yards in the game. Texas Tech might not give up many points against this horrific offense, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see them get into the 50's by themselves here. Take the over.

*3 Star No Doubt Total Play* The Aggies have what may be the worst offense in all of college football. I fully expect this team to struggle to get to 10 points in quite a few games this year. The Aggies want to run the ball all the time, but with absolutely no passing game it will be tough against a defense stacked in the box. New Mexico State's secondary is strong, which should help them hold down the Aztecs numbers in this game. San Diego State has a solid offense, but they struggle when forced to run the football. On the road I think they'll move the ball fairly well, but they won't put up huge numbers against a decent defense. The Aggies will struggle to score hardly anything no matter where the game is played. Take the under in this one.

*3 Star Saturday Bookie Smasher* The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are a program that has a long ways to go to being competitive against anyone from a major conference. The Hilltoppers didn't win a single game last year and they'll struggle to win more than one or two this year. Kentucky has a solid team and a defense that should exceed expectations. I fully expect Kentucky to run for a ton of yards in this one, but that will keep the clock rolling. Western Kentucky will struggle mightily on offense and I think Kentucky will end up putting the second and third string players in. The value looks like it is on the under in this game.

*3 Star CFB Total Dominator* The Arkansas Razorbacks will definitely have one of the best offenses in the entire country this year. Ryan Mallett is a terrific quarterback and the rest of the offense around him is setup extremely nicely this year. The UL Monroe Warhawks are definitely not accustomed to seeing a quarterback or an offense with even close to this much ability. The Razorbacks defense is still a bit of a weakness, so don't be surprised if Frank Goodin does some damage for Monroe on the offensive side of the football. I think Arkansas will put up a very high total here and Monroe will get just enough to make it get over the posted total. Take the over here.

*5 Star Top Play CFB Saturday* The Baylor Bears are a totally different team this year with Robert Griffin under center. Griffin is one of the best play making quarterbacks in the entire country. Baylor's offense was back to its old ways with Griffin at the helm in Week One and I fully expect them to continue that this week. Buffalo has transitioned to a new no huddle offense under Jeff Quinn and that should keep the pace of this game flowing nicely. I expect both teams to put up plenty of points here. The books have given us a nice value based on these teams from last year, and they are very different teams in 2010. I really like the over in this one!

*3 Star Play* The Northwestern Wildcats are a team that is in transition after losing their key man on offense in Mike Kafka. Dan Persa will be a decent mobile quarterback for their offense, but they'll miss the ability to spread out the field through the passing game. Vanderbilt has one of the worst offenses in all of football. The passing game is non-existent and the running game was decent, but they are dealing with multiple injuries in the backfield. The Commodores defense is actually pretty good, but this team will struggle mightily to put points on the board. Northwestern is the better team, but they will likely struggle with new players in the key skill positions on offense. I expect this to be a pretty ugly game where both teams are out of rhythm. Take the under here.

*3 Star Play* The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off an extremely disappointing season, but things are looking up for them in 2010. Landry Jones got plenty of playing time and should be ready for a big year and they have play makers are all over the place on offense. Ryan Broyles and DeMarco Murray can take it to the house at any time. This Utah State team was 100th in the nation in sacks last year, so Jones should have all day to throw. Combine that with the fact that Utah State has had serious trouble in their secondary, and you get what should be a ton of points for the Oklahoma Sooners in this game. Utah State is a pretty good offensive team with a dual-threat quarterback in Borel, and I think they could put up a few points to help out as well. Oklahoma will score early and often and this one should go over the total. Take the over here.

*3 Star Play* The Florida Gators are starting a new era, and while there is a ton of inexperience, there is also a ton of talent. John Brantley has all the tools needed to sling it around and be a prolific passer for the Gators. The Redhawks of Miami won just one game a year ago, and I think they'll be in for a very long season opener at the Swamp. Urban Meyer and the Gators aren't known for taking their foot off the gas when they are way ahead, so I'll assume they don't do it on Saturday either. This game will be extremely one sided, and it really is the type of game where the Gators could probably get to 52 by themselves. I like the value on the over in this one.

*3 Star Opening Night Great Catch* The Northern Illinois Huskies are a solid football team that could make some noise in the MAC this year. The offense is a grind it out type of offense that will use the clock and run the football consistently. Iowa State is a similar type of offense. I think both teams could gain quite a few yards in this one, but I think the clock will keep rolling and this will shorten this game considerably. Both defenses are pretty good at bending, but not breaking. I look for some long drives to end in field goals. This should be a hard fought game and I believe the right side to be on is the under. Take under 48 here.

*3 Star Thursday Night Top Total* The South Carolina Gamecocks have struggled to get their offense going in a big way the last few years. Southern Miss is on my radar of very underrated teams going into 2010. Southern Miss is very talented on defense and should be able to stop the run well. I believe both defenses are better than the offenses in this one. Southern Miss will make Garcia beat them with the pass by stuffing the run and the South Carolina secondary should do well stopping the pass attack of the Golden Eagles. Add in the fact that this is the first game of the year for both teams and there will be plenty of jitters, and I think we have found a great value on the under in this one. Take under 47 in this Thursday night matchup.

*3 Star Big Play* Both of these defenses are absolutely top notch and I think they will shine in the biggest game of their college career. Alabama is only allowing 11 points per game and I think they'll put a lot of pressure on Colt McCoy as Nebraska did. Texas has a great run defense so don't expect Ingram to have too big of a game here. This one should be a hard fought low scoring affair. Take the under!

*5 Star Top Play* This one has shootout written all over it. Michigan State's defense is terrible, especially against the pass. Texas Tech's offense is always great and this year they are putting up 37 points per game again. Michigan State has gotten nice quarterback play from Cousins this season and they should be able to score quite a few as well. The scoreboard will light up in this one.

*5 Star Top Play* The under is 5-0 in Tennesee's last 5 bowl games and the under is 5-1 in Virginia Tech's last 6 overall. Both of these defenses are pretty stingy, and while Virginia Tech should be able to move the ball on the ground pretty well I don't see a whole lot of big plays happening in this one. The clock should stay running and the score should stay pretty low in this good match up. Take the under.

Because of the ridiculous amount of points put up by Cincinnati and Pitt in that final game of the year this one is a little risky, but both of these defenses are good. Pitt has the better offense, but North Carolina probably has the better defense. I expect both teams to run the football a lot so I think the clock will keep rolling, which is certainly good for an under. Remember last year in Pitt's bowl game (3-0 final)? It won't be that low, but I think the under hits here.

These two teams average 33 and 31 points per game. Both of them have very balanced offenses, so when one thing isn't working correctly they can often resort to another option. Both defenses give up about 24 points per game, but both allow a lot of yards and rely on holding the other team to field goals. In this game I don't think field goals will be enough to get the win. I expect a high scoring, back and forth game in this one. Take the over.

*3 star big play* The Wisconsin Badgers are a pretty good football team that can run the football on just about anyone. Hawaii has proven to be a tough opponent at home and the spread offense should allow them to put some points on the board against a Wisconsin defense that is better against the run than the pass. I expect John Clay and the Badgers to run very well in this one, but Hawaii will keep it close enough that the over hits in this one. Take the over!

*3 star big play* In their match up earlier this season there was 800 yards of total offense, and that was before Kyle Parker started settling in as quarterback at Clemson. Now Clemson has a good running and passing game and Georgia Tech's defense allows 352 yards per game. On the other side, Georgia Tech has one of the best running games in the nation and Clemson had a whole lot of trouble with it the first time around. I don't see any reason why Tech wouldn't be able to put up quite a few points simply by running the option. Clemson's offense is better than earlier this year and Georgia Tech's is at least as good. Take the over in this one.

*3 star big play* When these two teams get together it often sets up a perfect recipe for an over, and I don't think this season is any different. Both teams have talent on offense and very little defense. In fact the two defenses are giving up 35 and 36 points per game. Last year this game ended 57-50 and the year before it was 55-23. The aerial attacks will be on in full force in this game Saturday and the points should be coming quickly. The over is the bet in this one!

The Oregon Ducks are a scoring machine and if Oregon State wants to keep this one close they'll have to put up some points. Since I don't see a completely lopsided game I really don't think they'll have much trouble getting over this posted total. The last 7 meetings between these two schools have gone over the posted total. Oregon's last four games have finished with a total of 67,93,65, and 85 points. Look for the scoreboard to get lit up in this one and take the over!

I'll take the under in a game being played between two teams that are averaging 12 and 13 points on offense. New Mexico State has the worst offense in Division I football and San Jose State is just barely better. I assure you, this won't be a game you want to watch, so just bet on the under and know that this one will be very ugly, but it should stay low scoring. Take the under!

I'll admit that I'm a little nervous playing this one because it is a rivalry game and you never know what can happen, but this one really has the makings of being a shootout. Last year's game was 45-42, and Georgia Tech's offense is definitely better this year than it was last. Georgia will probably be playing from behind and airing the ball out, and the Tech defense is susceptible to giving up a lot of passing yards. The option offense of Georgia Tech and the passing game from Georgia should equal an over in this one.

In the last two years the score in this game has been a total of 77 and 64 points. This year the two teams have been a little lower scoring so the total is set at just 57. Todd Reesing will be playing in his last home game and I fully expect the Jayhawk passing game to be ready to go in this one. Missouri's Blaine Gabbert and Derrick Washington should be able to score plenty as well, going up against a defense that is giving up 33 points a game in their last 3 games. This should be a tightly contested game and I think it will go over the posted total.
