BYU at Houston 9:30 ET

Cougars (+) over Cougars- HA! Not only is it confusing enough with both teams nicknames the Cougars but the site has been changed from Provo, Utah to Houston. Undefeated BYU (5-0) has had a soft schedule to this point while Houston had five games cancelled before their opener last week a come-back 49-31 win over Tulane after trailing 24-7 at the half. Houston committed five TO's (4 in 1st half) and with explosive talent made a number of 'big plays.' BYU's offense centers around QB Zach Wilson who has accounted for 14 TD's with one TO and 81.2% completions leading the offense to 557 yards a game. Although they were scheduled to play at home BYU is none-the-less 11-5 ATS on 'planned' road games...this one's different. Houston not to be taken lightly is 21-7-1 ATS as home underdogs. Take HOUSTON!

Miami-Fl at Clemson 7:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Hurricanes- Doesn't Miami look inviting, I mean they are 3-0 both SU and ATS and have an exciting new offense lead by transfer E'Rick King. Clemson 3-0 SU is 0-3 ATS and just keeps plodding along and of course they understand that this is their first major challenge of the season. The Hurricanes are 2-0 in ACC action as are the Tigers who are 5-2 ATS in the last six meetings in including 18-8 ATS in their last 26 as home favorites. They have also won the last two meetings by a combined score of 96-3 (Yep, that's right)! Hurricanes get blown away...take CLEMSON!

Texas Tech at Iowa State 3:00 ET

Cyclones (-) over Red Raiders- This is the game that will tell us if Iowa State is for real as they come off an upset of Oklahoma and now are double digit favorites against Texas Tech after defeating the Sooners for the first time at home in Ames in 60 years and 20 straight games. Iowa State has the Big-12 leading rusher in Breece Hall and the winningest quarterback in Cyclone history in Brock Purdy who has a win over all Big-12 opponents. Just an opening week shocker when State lost to La Tech will keep the public away and the price is another factor but in may not matter as the Red Raiders are at the bottom of the conference food chain. Number is high and probably for good reason. Take IOWA STATE!

Florida at Texas A&M 12:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Gators- Listen, I am a Gator fan all the way back to their Steve Spurrier days and I don't mean as a coach but when he was at quarterback. So understand, when I play against them that I have plenty of confidence and this one is really 'special'...special enough that I have used it as my SEC Game of the Month! To tell the truth I will be 'shocked' if A&M doesn't win this game on the field. The Gators will certainly be looking ahead to next week when they play LSU. The Aggies found out what it's like to be up against the 'Big Boys' (Alabama last week) and will last longer ready to win this game 'outright' and much less 'cover. If TEXAS A&M doesn't get the money here I will be honestly be shocked! Take the AGGIES!

Auburn at Georgia 7:30 ET

Bulldogs (-) over Tigers- Love the match-up and believe this is my strongest release of the college football season. It's being said that Georgia's quarterback position is not settled while Auburn is fixed with Bo Nix last year's SEC Freshman of the Year. (He's Over-rated!) The Bulldogs who are known for their ground game totaled just 121 yards at 2.9 per attempt but held Arkansas to 280 total yards in their (-27.5) 37-10 win. Georgia has won the last six meetings 6-0 SU and 6-0 ATS at home and are 13-3 ATS after a ATS loss and they are 17-8 ATS against teams with winning records. The Tigers may be 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall but one of those losses was to the Bulldogs last season and finally the favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take GEORGIA!

Army at Cincinnati 3:30 ET

Bearcats (-) over Black Knights- Both of these clubs are ranked in the Top-25 but they have come from different directions. The Army ranked No. 22 was 5-8 last season and are 2-0 after beating powerhouses Middle Tennessee State and Louisiana-Monroe outscoring them 79-7. No. 16 Cincinnati is off of a pair of 11-win seasons and return 16 starters. The true reason the Cadets received a Top-25 ranking is because of a number of other conferences that haven't played yet. The Knights are 0-20 against ranked opponents. Army is 1-4 in their last five road games and 1-5 ATS against a team with a winning record. Bearcats 6-2 ATS in last eight home games. Take CINCINNATI!

Miami at Louisville 7:30 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Cardinals- Both these clubs opened with non-conference win last week as Louisville dispatched Western Kentucky 35-21 and Miami took down UAB 31-14. The Cardinals should have revenge on their minds after getting destroyed 55-27 in Miami last season. The hurricanes were only 7-7 last season and torched the Louisville defense for six TD passes. Yet, Miami wasn't that good last year and have transfer D'Eriq King from Houston and his quick feet and passing remind many of Kyler Murray now with Arizona Cardinals. Miami is looking to rebuild their programs football reputation and it continues here. Take the HURRICANES!

Western Kentucky at Louisville 8:00 ET

Hilltoppers (+) over Cardinals- Last season two 'new' head coaches took over struggling programs and show the most improvement and biggest turnaround in the entire NCAA. Western Kentucky under first year coach Tyson Helton brought his club from 3-9 in 2018 to 9-4 and a bowl win in 2019. At Louisville after Lamar Jackson left the Cardinals dropped to 2-10 and rebound under Scott Satterfield to 8-5 both clubs improved by six wins. Last season the Cardinal went to Nashville as a 11-point favorite and now at home after winning on the road 38-21 they come up the same number. I believe the oddsmaker is telling 'us' W. Ky has a shot. They are 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven road games and 36-16 in their last 52 as underdogs. Louisville is 4-1 ATS in their last five non-conference games but just 4-9 ATS as home favorites. Take the HILLTOPPERS!

B.Y.U. at Navy 8:00 ET

Midshipman (+) over Cougars- As always there are a number of ways to approach any game as there is here. BYU has one of the more prolific NCAA passers in Zach Wilson who has thrown for 3,960 yards in two seasons the second of which he missed significant time due to injury. Navy of course is a ground game school (go figure) and led the nation with 360 yards per game in 2019 but now they will be without Malcom Perry who ran for 2017 yards of an overall 3,700 team yards rushing. It won't matter and I'll tell you why after I slip this in. Navy is 7-1 ATS in their last eight at home and 13-3-1 ATS in their last 16 overall and add that the Cougars are 0-7 ATS in their last seven as favorites, but those are not the sole reason 'we' should have the Middies. You know, during the COVID time and even without it the Navy does not take days off. They are together all year long, this is a job, it is their service and they are in sync and have an early season advantage over the others. And by the way, if the line moves Navy is 20-8 ATS at home as favorites..Take NAVY!

Clemson vs L.S.U. 8:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Tigers- Okay, I must admit that LSU has had the more impressive resume and have shown to me that they were the best team in college football this year with the best quarterback. But, I am old school and don't believe the 'Champion' can be displaced until beaten. Clemson was undefeated last year and was crowned the Nation Champions and they have yet to lose this year, like boxing to me you 'must' defeat the champ. The 'public' of course is enamored with Louisiana State with Joe Burrow leading the way it is hard not to root for a team that defeated Alabama, Auburn and Georgia and everyone else they played and even the 'sharps' laying the points. The rap of Clemson is their scheduLe strength but they have proven worthy and will rise as an underdog (once again) here. Take CLEMSON!

Wisconsin vs Oregon 5:00 ET

Badgers (-) over Ducks- My oh my...The Ducks win the Pac-12 crushing favored Utah and now they show up in the Rose Bowl ands underdog to the Big Ten loser Wisconsin. What I am thinking here is that the Big Ten is that much stronger both physically and probably mentally than their west coast opponents. The Badgers had Ohio State by the short hairs in the Championship game but let it slip away as a 14-point underdog that covered in the loss. I don't know if you get what I'm driving at but I will have the Badgers and so should you. Take WISCONSIN!

Michigan vs Alabama 1:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Crimson Tide- I am really looking forward to watching this contest as there is much to be learned about the Crimson Tide as to who they play this game. Michigan after the way they closed the season getting absolutely destroyed by Ohio State will be ready to erase the memory of that embarrassment. The Tide has been exposed of late failing 0-5 ATS in their last five against Top-10 teams. I believe that Michigan will show more heart here and we will get o see Nick Saban bitch to officials about his own mistakes. Harbaugh wants this one personally! Take MICHIGAN!

Navy vs Kansas State 3:45 ET

Wildcats (+) over Midshipman- If there is a one-man gang in college football this year it is Navy dual threat quarterback Malcolm Perry who scored 21 touchdowns and ran for over 300 yards against Army. But, I know one thing about Kansas State, they will punish you as witnessed in their dominating win over Oklahoma. The Wildcats QB Skyler Thompson provided 22 TD's with 12 passing and 10 rushing and led a more balanced attack. Trends for the Navy are strong as they are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 over and 5-0 ATS in their last five bowl games but they are 4-9-1 ATS against teams with winning records and they are 1-3-1 ATS on neutral sights. Kansas State can provide you with some ammo as they are 39-19-1 ATS in their last 59 games as an underdog and they are 4-0 ATS in non-conference games. Take KANSAS STATE!

Florida State vs Arizona State 2:00 ET

Seminoles (+) over Sun Devils- Sometimes certain matchups make you do things that you never though you would. For example, here I am backing the Seminoles after having seen them play a putrid season that saw them cover just four of 12 games and ending the year getting blown out 40-17 in their final game against state rival Florida. Arizona State is off of a pair of great wins defeating Oregon and rival Arizona to close the season after four straight losses. So how about this stuff...ASU is 0-8 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite, they are 1-6 ATS on neutral sites, they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 bowl games and they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall. FSU having a terrible time with Taggart are 3-9-1 ATS as a dog bowl shine in bowl games going 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 and 5-1-1 ATS as a bowl underdog. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Virginia vs Florida 8:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Gators- The moment this matchup was established I knew I liked my side and I haven't wavered since. I understand that there are a number of factors that should deter my side such as Florida is 3-0 in the Orange Bowl winning by an average margin of 15 points. I should also add that Virginia hasn't won a bowl games since 1995. For the most part I am not making the selection based on talent but on these teams previous outings. Florida closed the season with three huge wins including their final over arc rival Florida State 40-17 while Virginia was embarrassed and annihilated in the ACC Championship game by Clemson 62-17. Big effort out of the Cavaliers tonight. Take VIRGINIA!

Iowa State vs Notre Dame 12:00 ET

Cyclones (+) over Fighting Irish- Let me start by saying that if this match-up was being played during Prime-time it might well be my highest-rated game of the day. No, need to explain other than this game 'must' be bogus. What I see is a club (Notre Dame) that had national aspirations being displayed as a warm-up for the FBS Championship Series and their disappointment has to be huge as they don't even get to play on New Year's Day. Iowa State meets the Fighting Irish for the first time and consider this game the biggest test in school history. Somehow, be it through emotion or officials bad calls the Cyclones storm the Irish. Take IOWA STATE!

Texas Bowl- Houston, TX

Oklahoma State vs. Texas A&M 3:45 ET

Aggies (-) over Cowboys- I guess this is where the SEC shows its depth and overall strength as the former Big-12 member Texas A&M favored and un-ranked over former rival Oklahoma State. The Cowboys and Aggies meet for the first time in eight years with State having won the past four meetings. A&M wants to atone for the embarrassing way they closed the season with a 50-7 loss to LSU and they are 5-1 ATS after allowing 40 or more points. Now in the SEC, Texas A&M is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games. Take the AGGIES!

Hawaii vs B.Y.U.

Rainbow Warriors (+) over Cougars- I wouldn't be all that surprised if the Rainbow Warriors end up the favorite after all they are playing in the Hawaii Bowl for the ninth time in 18 years. But, actually their success has been limited, going 1-4 in the last five. I have a few trends that I believe surround this game as the dog has been good in the Hawaii Bowl 9-3 ATS in the last 12 and teams that repeat a bowl appearance two consecutive years are 6-0 SU in the second game. Take HAWAII!

Washington vs Boise State 7:30 ET

Huskies (-) over Broncos- I am looking forward to being in attendance for this game and I'm sure that Boise State will have huge fan support as after all this is the Mountain West Conference Bowl game. The Broncos are 12-1 on the year and yet come up an underdog against a pedestrian 7-5 Washington squad that is truly disappointed in their season. This is an unranked team (the Huskies) that is favored over a No. 21 ranked team with what can be considered a home field advantage. This is Chris Peterson's final game for Washington and it is fitting that he is going up against the school he coached for eight seasons and had an incredible 92-12 SU record. Take WASHINGTON!

Army vs Navy 3:00 ET

Midshipmen (-) over Black Knights- Until the recent past the Navy has had the upper hand in this series but the Army has rallied to win the last three outright as underdogs. Although the Midshipmen had won the previous 14 meetings the Army is 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. But, this season it looks like the old matchup where Navy has the advantage. Ranked No. 23 Navy is headed to the Liberty Bowl and meets Kansas State while the Cadets finish their season here as at 5-7 they miss out in post season play. The Midshipmen have triple revenge and I expect them to get it done. Take the NAVY!

Wisconsin vs Ohio State 8:00 ET

Badgers (+) over Buckeyes- There was a time this season when I actually had thoughts that Wisconsin was good enough to end up as one of the FBS representatives. These two met in October and it wasn't even close as the Buckeyes trounced the Badgers 38-17 and it wasn't that close. OSU quarterback Justin Fields was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week as he had four TD passes at Michigan last Saturday. Wisconsin has met the Buckeyes three previous times in the Big Ten Championship games and they have yet to prevail losing last 27-21 in 2017. This time around the Badgers know what they are up against and will make the adjustments needed. Take WISCONSIN!

Georgia vs L.S. U. 4:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- LSU enters this contest almost assured a spot in the CFP even if they stub their toe here as losing to a one-loss Georgia will keep them alive. The Bulldogs on the other hand must force the committee to raise them into the Playoffs with a win here. Okay, that leads me to believe Georgia will be more desperate and have a greater need and motivation. But, are they good enough to pull it off? Playing in the Georgia Dome has got to help the 'Dogs whose scoring defense is No. 4 in the nation at 10.4 points per game. LSU is No.1 in offense 48.7 led by JoeBurrow and they will face they toughest defense of the season here. Take GEORGIA!

UL-Lafayette at Appalachian State 12:00 ET

Ragin' Cajuns (+) over Mountaineers- A pair of great offenses and balanced defensive team meet for the second time this season with comparative stats that make this close. Lafayette averages 38.8 ppg and Appalachian State has one of the top offenses (38.9 ppg) and both teams play defense as the Ragin' Cajuns surrender 17.8 ppg while the Mountaineers give up 18.8. Lafayette has 'covered the last two trips tp Boone but lost at home to the Mountaineers in early October 17-7 but return the favor here. Take RAGIN' CAJUNS!

Oregon vs Utah 8:00 ET

Ducks (+) over Utes- Utah has lost one game this season to USC (5* Megabucks winner) back in September and they have reeled off eight straight wins and 8-0 ATS since. Oregon has been disappointing as expected from their opening game when Auburn's 29-yard Hail-Mail was answered and they lost at the gun in a game they they dominated for 3 and half quarters. Then when it looked like they had regrouped and had an 8-game win streak of their own ended that was ended at home by a two-touchdown underdog losing to Arizona State 31-28. Friday's game may be played under questionable conditions as it has been a rainy week in the Bay area. The question might be who does this aid, the power game of the Utes or the speed game for the Ducks. At first it would appear that Utah gains and edge with their power game, but receivers that know where they are headed have an advantage over defensive backs that have to react to a cut. Oregon has the superior passing game behind future first rounder Justin Herbert who has 31 TD's and only five interceptions. Built for water... take the DUCKS!

Alabama at Auburn 3:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- To start with I'm was quite surprised that this 'number' opened where it did. I expected it to be a bit higher as Auburn hasn't shown the kind of offensive diversity that is needed to overcome the Alabama defense. The Tigers have only three games scoring more than 24 points getting 55, 56 and 51 against imposters Kent, Miss St and Samford. But, there is something missing with this Crimson squad as Nick Saban has little confidence in his back-up quarterback and has been badly out coached in his last three big encounters. 'Bama has won eight of the last 11 meetings but the Tigers get it done! Take AUBURN!

Michigan at Ohio State 12:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Buckeyes- No. 2 Ohio State (11-0) is two wins away from getting to the Final-4 and its starts here against arch rival Michigan. The Buckeyes have had their in this series winning 16 of the past 18 meetings including last season's 62-39 destruction of the Wolverines gaining 567 yards from scrimmage. OSU is on a 16-game win streak and will up against the nation's 4th ranked defense allowing just 267 yards per game. Michigan has won their last four and are 6-0 at home. Take the WOLVERINES!

Iowa at Nebraska 2:30 ET

Cornhuskers (+) over Hawkeyes- For Nebraska this has been one of the worst football seasons that I can ever remember for as they are 5-6 SU and a horrid 2-9 ATS. Despite hat we have witnessed this season with the Cornhuskers they are one win away from becoming bowl eligible. Iowa meanwhile, has won four of five and are striving for a New Year's Day bowl bid and a win here would go a long way toward that goal. Huskers need it more...take NEBRASKA!

S.M.U at Navy 3:30 ET

Midshipman (-) over Mustangs- My first thoughts about this game were running toward the Mustangs with their offense that averages 522 yards including 328 in the air. I remember the Navy getting so out-classed by Notre Dame and SMU having two weeks to prepare gives me concerns. It isn't like Navy was looking ahead to this game there biggest conference game of the year. and not thinking of the Irish so much, but here they are. The Midshipman run the for 350 yards a game and that will keep the ball out of the Mustangs hands (ha). SMU is 0-4 ATS in their our meetings at Navy. Take NAVY!

Minnesota at Iowa 4:00 ET

Hawkeyes (-) over Golden Gophers- A balanced attack has been the key for Minnesota's surprising 9-0 start as they run for 195 yards and pass for 237 yards per game while their defense has allowed just 310 per contest. They out-gained every opponent expect Penn State in Saturday's win their first over a ranked team in 15 tries. Now, they face an Iowa team that lost to Wisconsin 24-22 and they come up an underdog against an unranked team. Seems bogus to me...take IOWA!

Georgia at Auburn 3:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- Since their improbable loss to South Carolina the Bulldogs have won three straight while allowing just 17 points with a pair of shutouts and have blacked three opponents this season. Auburn has two loses both to ranked teams LSU and Florida but has an offense that averages 32.7 points and 425 yards per game. The Tigers have totaled just under 500 yards three times this season and will be able to penetrate Georgia's defense. Georgia is 5-1 ATS and in those matchup they the better team being favored by -13, -10, -12 and -15.5 in the last seven seasons. But, this time around the Tigers get it done. Take AUBURN!

Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech 3:30 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Hokies- This is one of those game where I will convince myself that nI have the right side because bot is this an ugly side...until it wins. Georgia Tech has had a difficult adjustment as former triple-option coach Paul Johnson retired and the Yellow Jackets were troubled during the transition. The have a balanced offense now but each side land and air only average 150 yards a game each. Opening the season losers against Minnesota 34-10 and Clemson 52-14 the imagine of ineptness and futility was felt. But, those are two pretty dare good clubs and after starting 0-5 ATS they are 2-1-1 ATS with a road win at Miami-Fl. This is the best justification I've got, the underdog is 12-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Nah, they are playing much better coming off of a 375 yard offensive performance while The Hokies are off of 3-straight big-game covers defeating Wake Forest 36-17 as a 3-point dog last week. They should come out flat of fall apart in the second half or both! Take GEORGIA TECH!

Notre Dame at Duke 7:30 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Fighting Irish- The Blue Devils visions of upper tier bowl acceptance has take a blow with three straight losses so after a 4-1 start they are even. Notre Dame's dreams were dashed early by Georgia and reaffirmed by Michigan two weeks ago. Duke has had two weeks to get ready for the biggest home crowd they will see this season while the Irish will just play it out with little motivation. This game is more meaningful for the Devils...Take DUKE!

Louisiana State at Alabama 3:30 ET

Crimson Tide (-) over Tigers- Golly, I can't wait to see the colors, the bands, the pageantry and everything makes this match-up 'special' on a college campus. This is the SEC Game of the Year between pair of 8-0 undefeated teams LSU and Alabama. There is a history here and it's not good for the Tigers. Alabama has won the last eight meetings and although the Tigers have probably played better competition with three win over Top-10 teams while the Tide haven't faced a ranked opponent until LSU. The Tigers would grade out as the better team but they have a hurdle in front of them that they have not been able to conquer since Nick Saban was coaching LSU. Tua or not...take ALABAMA!

Baylor at Texas Christian 12:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Bears- Could the undefeated 8-0 #12 Baylor Bears be the Big-12 club that throws a monkey wrench into the FBS doings...nah. Even though the Horned Frogs have lost a pair of quarterbacks in the past two weeks they are still able to sting an unsuspecting foe. TCU has won the last four meetings and most likely will have QB Max Duggan who replaced Alex Delton. I'm a little skittish here as the Horned Frogs have turned this trick already defeating Texas as a home dog...Frogs bark...Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Kansas State at Kansas 3:30 ET

Jayhawks (+) over Wildcats- The is a great spot for the Jayhawks as they catch State off of their biggest upset win in over a decade as they just physically out-manned Oklahoma. That was no flute these Wildcats can play, but can they sustain that intensity four another full four quarters? Kansas won in upset style themselves and at 3-5 they are much improved with Carter Stanley throwing 19 TDs already. It's not that the Wildcats can't win easy, under most circumstances they probably would, but it's just the time and don't forgot the place. Take KANSAS!

Georgia Southern and Appalachian State 8:00 ET

Eagles (+) over Mountaineers- There is no doubt No 20 Appalachian State is the best of the also-rans (see 2018 Central Florida) and are meetings the team that knocked them out of the Top-25 last year. So, yes they have revenge on their minds but they are facing one of the best running games in the nation. Georgia Southern has the 7th ranked rushing offense (26 per) led by Junior running backs J.D. King and Wesley Kennedy III and have six players that have run for at least 100 in a game. Take GEORGIA SOUTHERN!

Notre Dame at Michigan 7:30 ET

Wolverines (+) over Fighting Irish- I remember watching this matchup last year sitting with friends at my favorite place having faded Michigan as the rest of the free world and some of the oppressed bet on the Wolverines. Notre Dame of course won easy, rushed out to a quick 14-0 and then 21-3 leads before the half. The Irish won easy over the Wolverines and everyone started to sour on Jim Harbaugh who is 1-12 against Top-10 teams. Notre dame has lost seven of their last eight visits to Ann Arbor where the Wolverines have won their last 12. Now, the same people that had Michigan last season and lost all have Notre Dame. Take MICHIGAN!

Penn State at Michigan State 3:30 ET

Spartans (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State jumped on Michigan last week and then had to hang on needing a Wolverine end zone dropped pass tp seal the win. The Lions were out-gained by 134 yards and had the ball just 22 minutes on offense. That plays into Michigan State's hands as their thing is defense although they have struggled the past two weeks against Ohio State and Wisconsin. The Spartans have won five of the past six meetings and always seem to 'get-up' for Penn State. Vegas has been 'hit' hard by the 'Sharps' with the 'smart' money coming on the Spartans. I agree with them...take MICHIGAN STATE!

Texas at TCU 3:30 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- Does this 'line' look right to you? It doesn't to me. Here's No. 15 Texas who totaled 638 yards against Kansas last week led by quarterback Sam Ehlinger who had 399 yards passing and four touchdowns. TCU club that has dropped their last two and doesn't appear at 3-3 to be of the same caliber of recent seasons has to rely on their defense which have allowed a national-low 76 first downs. The Longhorns won last year's battle 31-16 but had lost the previous four meetings with the Frogs going 4-1 ATS. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Boise State at B.Y.U. 10:15 ET

Cougars (+) over Broncos- Boise State is off of a 59-37 beatdown of Hawaii but lost starting quarterback Hank Bachmeier to a hip injury and now Sophomore Chase Cord is slated to make his first career start. BYU has dropped three straight and are claiming that they haven't quit on the season and the Broncos are the perfect opponent. This non-conference game is a step down for the Broncos who are just 2-5 in their last seven against Independents while BYU is 6-1 ATS versus the Mountain West and 9-3 ATS following a straight up loss. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG!

Arizona State at Utah 6:00 ET

Utes (-) over Sun Devils- Doesn't this line appear to be a little on the high side? It does to me! These clubs have Pac-12 mirror record of each other both at 5-1 straight up and 2-1 in conference play. Arizona State behind freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels average 403 yards on offense including 268 through the air but will be opposed by Tyler Huntley who is 3rd nationally for completion percentage (.756) and 5th on passing efficiency (187.6). Utes tailback Zack Moss is back after getting an injured shoulder on September 20 and needs just 55 yards to become Utah's all-time rushing leader. Utah ranks 25th in total offense and 10th defense. They are one of only six teams in that category. Take UTAH!

Penn State at Iowa 7:30 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Nittany Lions- At the beginning of the week there was no question that I wanted Iowa here after their horrid performance in their 10-3 loss to Michigan on National TV. The problem is that the 'price' has shrunk before of 'Sharp action' on the Hawkeyes and it has lost some value. The Hawkeyes had a total of minus-10 yards against the Wolverines last week as QB Nate Stanley had his worst career game getting sacked eight times and throwing three interceptions. Penn State is averaging 500 yards per game while Iowa after last weeks performance is at just 255 yards per game. It's no matter the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take IOWA!

Alabama at Texas A&M 3:30 ET

Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- This is Alabama's 6th game of the year and they have been favored in every one by -33.5,-54.5, -25-5, -36.5, and -37.5 and they have made good twice but only once in their last four contests. It seems that the oddsmakers are giving the Aggies a 'puncher's chance' with the line dipping to 16.5 at one point. For those that are Tide 'backers' this price might appear to be a gift. But, beware things are not always what they seem. Alabama averages 555 yards per game and the Aggies just 427 but are better on defense allowing 300 yards per games while the Crimson are allowing 326 per contest and have surrendered more than 450 yards twice against Mississippi and South Carolina. This will play closer than most believe. Take TEXAS A&M!

Michigan State at Wisconsin 3:30 ET

Spartans (+) over Badgers- They may not be ranked in the Top-5 but No. 8 Wisconsin to me has been the most impressive of all. The Badgers are allowing just 182 total yards per game and have surrendered only 29 points (5.8 ave per game) on the year. But, probably the most impressive of all is the they have not trailed at anytime this season. Michigan State we know has been built on defense for years and only give up 300 total yards per game. The Spartans had 'covered' four straight in the series until last year's 30-6 home beatdown. Note that the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

Appalachian State at UL Lafayette 8:00 ET

Ragin' Cajuns over Mountaineers- Both of these clubs enter this fray on four game winning streaks with the Cajun's have lost their opener to Mississippi State 38-28 (+19) and are 5-0 ATS. Appalachian State has posted a road victory over North Carolina and most likely will be the public's choice here. But, Lafayette averages 540 yards offensively including a balanced attack of 314 yards rushing and 226 threw the air and are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take LAFAYETTE!

Central Florida and Cincinnati 8:00 ET

Bearcats (+) over Knights- No. 18 Central Florida has won 19 straight AAC contests but should be put to the challenge Friday night against a powerful Bearcats squad that put up 525 yards last week improving to 3-1 with their lone loss to Ohio State. The Knights rebounded from their 35-34 loss at Pittsburgh by stomping hapless Connecticut 56-21. This is a spot Cincinnati has let me down in the past but I believe that they have moved passed that and I forgive them. Take the BEARCATS!

Ohio State at Nebraska 7:30 ET

Cornhuskers (+) over Buckeyes- Oh...how could I, I mean, I had 'against' the Cornhuskers all lined up last week and failed to post Illinois who covers easy and now I come back ON Nebraska. Ohio State has been impressive averaging 53.5 points per game while allowing just nine per contest. Nebraska who was 0-3 against ranked opponents last season was almost caught in a look-ahead last week as they cams-from-behind in a 42-38 win as a two-touchdown favorite. Although the Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings the Cornhuskers are 6-1-1 in their last eight conference games. Take NEBRASKA!

Mississippi State at Auburn 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- Auburn has emerged as an SEC power that must be reckoned with as their 4-0 both Su and ATS domination of opponents. The 3-1 Bulldogs are off of three straight home games including last weeks 28-13 win over Kentucky. The Tigers are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games and Mississippi State is 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the under is 6-1 in the last seven as well and have the SEC's leading rusher in Kyle Hill. War Eagles Bo Nix has gotten more credit than he deserves...take BULLDOGS!

Oregon at Stanford 7:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Ducks-After what 'we' saw last week out of the Cardinal against Central Florida I don't blame you for turning away here as that was the second straight blow-out loss for Stanford. In the meantime, Oregon has rebounded from their heart breaking loss to Auburn and have out-scored their last two opponents 112-9 defeating Nevada and Montana. The Ducks are coming off of a pair wins against soft opponents and now play a conference foe in need. Stanford is 1705 ATS after a straight-up loss and 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take STANFORD!

Houston at Tulane 8:00 ET

Green Wave (-) over Cougars- Okay, don't you think that Houston looks good here? I do, too good. The Cougars are returning QB D' Eriq King a senior that has set passing records as an underclassman and defeated Tulane 48-17 at home last season. The Green Wave have been an underdog against Houston every year for over two decades and now they are favored...something's up. Take TULANE!

Chip's NCAAF 'Guaranteed' 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks

Chip Chirimbes the 'Big Game Player' and Las Vegas Hilton Handicapping Champion was 3-1-1 ATS Saturday and is either 1-0-1 or 1-1 ATS with his 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks after Texas (+7 or +6.5) lost or 'pushed' 38-45 against LSU. Saturday, the 'Big-Game Player' has posted a 'Guaranteed' Highest-Rated A-Play Megabucks winner between Stanford and Central Florida. Cash-in on his Highest-Rated 'Guaranteed' Megabucks Best Bet only $49 or as part of Chip's 'Guaranteed' Triple-Play of Best Bet winners for just $79 or his 'Guaranteed' Fab-5 Full Slate for $99!

Stanford at Central Florida 3:30 ET

Cardinals (+) over Panthers- It's been great playing 'on and off' the Cardinals as they have won as our 'Megabucks' opening week Best Bet and then fell to USC (our ('Money Game' winner). So, I feel very comfortable backing them here. There has been a way-over reaction to both these clubs with Central Florida's No. 16 status inflated by the level of competition they play. Now, I'm not saying that they don't deserve it but like Gonzaga in NCAAB they don't play enough good competition. Stanford Quarterback K.J. Costello returns after concussion protocol while the Panthers are deciding between three quality starters in Brandon Wimbush (ND Transfer), Darriel Mack, Jr. (last years back-up) or freshman Dillon Gabriel but no matter, it will be K.J. that will be the difference. Take STANFORD!

L.S.U. at Texas 7:30 ET

Longhorns (+) over Tigers- 'I am shocked,' no not that there's gambling going on...but that everyone and I mean just about anyone not in Texas is running with cash in both fists to back Louisiana State. I liked the Longhorns from the git-go and with the price rising so quickly and continuously I only expect some buy back before game time. LSU is 6-2 ATS on the road and that might account for some of the support and they are 4-0-1 against the Big-12 in their last five meetings. But, the Tigers are a team that gets better as the season progresses as they are just 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games in September. Texas is 6-2 ATS in their last eight non-conference games and 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games at home. Take the LONGHORNS!

Houston at Oklahoma 7:30 ET

Sooners over Cougars- Following a pair of Heisman Trophy winners at Oklahoma Jalen Hurts can be expected to fill their shoes in a much different way. Hurts will beat you more with his legs than his arm and one thing Oklahoma has always been able to do is run the ball. With Hurts in the backfield the Sooners ground attack will be that be much more prolific. The last time these two met Houston got the ring with a 33-23 victory to opening the 2016 season. Oklahoma as a measure of revenge on their minds. Take the SOONERS!

Utah at B.Y. U 10:15 ET

Cougars (+) over Utes- Utah as you might expect is the favorite to win the Big-12 but first must start the season by getting by their intra-state rival Brigham Young. This is the 94th meeting of the 'Holy War' and the Utes have won the last eight and are 10-5 ATS series run. Utah has 14 starters returning while BYU has 17 players returning including their quarterback, 3 receivers and top running back. The Cougars are 23-11 ATS as a dog and 7-2 ATS as an underdog in this series also the dog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings and the Cougars are 13-3 SU in home openers. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG!

Clemson vs Alabama 8:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- A great rematch of 14-0 teams that both finished 8-6 ATS on the season. Alabama has won three of the last four meetings including last years 24-6 win as they allowed Clemson just 188 yards total offense although they are 2-2 ATS. In the meetings for the Championship two years age the Tigers defeated the Tide 35-31 with over 500 yards offense and the season before the Crimson won 45-40. This again may end up a classic as they are the two most talented teams in college football and the points are worth taking. Take CLEMSON!

Washington at Ohio State 5:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Buckeyes- Now, this is an amazing fact...the Big Ten and Pac-12 have had their conference champions play in the Rose Bowl every year for eons and these two clubs have played for the Roses 15 times each, but have never played each other. It has been a bit of a disappointing season for both clubs as early season goals were to get to the FBS Final-4. Washington blew their shot in their opener losing to Auburn so understood the entire season that the Rose Bowl was their best option while Ohio State received their disappointment late in the season and that is a key factor. Urban Meyer is stepping down and like Woody Hayes in his final game I expect the Buckeyes to go out a point-spread loser. The field 'numbers' say fade the Huskies but they came on strong at seasons end and get it done by winning the Pac-12 and get the win here. Take WASHINGTON!

LSU vs Central Florida 1:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Panthers- Now, this is one of the more difficult games to handicap as Central Florida remains undefeated in their last 25 games but will be without star quarterback McKenzie Milton who is out and will be replaced by freshman Darriel Mack, Jr. The Panthers freshman have the support of 22 seniors that defeated Auburn 34-27 as a 10-point underdog in last season's Peach Bowl win but this time they sneak up on no one. Here's where the 'rub' is on this game, LSU is ranked No. 11 and Central Florida (undefeated) is ranked No. 8 and yet the Tigers are favored. The 'public' has finally jumped on the Panthers but it's too late. Take LOUISIANA STATE!

N.C. State at Texas A&M 7:30 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Aggies- I 'loved' this one right from the start as I have seen some of this talent up front and liked what I saw. I wonder if the Aggies legs have yet recovered from their 74-72 seven-overtime win over LSU upping their home record to 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS. I point this out to say that Texas A&M doesn't take well to the road going 1-3 SU 2-2 ATS and having played just four of 12 games away from their famous '12th man.' But, it is not the Aggies offense that will steal the show it will be N.C. State and quarterback Ryan Finley who led the ACC in passing with 3,789 yards along with 24 touchdowns. A&M will be shocked by the Wolfpack's receivers speed. Take NORTH CAROLINA STATE!

Chip's 'Guaranteed' FBS Game of Year (10-1 91%)

Notre Dame vs Clemson 4:00 ET

Tigers (-) over Fighting Irish- I guess this double-digit price has driven more people than I expected to side with the points and Notre Dame. For the most part for the past four weeks I have heard nothing but, 'the Fighting Irish are imposters, they don't play anyone and they choke in big games.' Well if that is the case why do they have so many backers. Clemson of course had three players get caught with their hands in the cookie jar so to speak and will be suspended for the FBS tourney but I don't think it will matter that much. The Tigers are 0-5 ATS in their last five non-conference games but this one has more significance than all the others combined. Take CLEMSON!

West Virginia vs Syracuse 5:15 ET

Mountaineers over Orange- West Virginia at one time was ranked in the Top-10 but as they do often they collapsed at the end of the season losing their final two games to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers open as a virtual touchdown favorite but that changed drastic when quarterback Will Grier and their starting left tackle decided to abandon their teammates a save their soon to be pitiful careers. Syracuse won five of their final six games with that loss showing just who they really are as Notre Dame (Game of Year winner) crushed to Orange like they were making juice 36-3. West Virginia has had four weeks to prep and coach Dana Holgorsen says his playbook will be wide open as he uses two quarterbacks Jack Allison and Trey Lowe III. That will leave the Syracuse defense a bit confused. Look for the Mountaineers to suck it up and win here. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the that five meetings. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

Chip's Guaranteed 'Highest-Rated' Pin Stripe Bowl

Miami vs Wisconsin 5:15 ET

Hurricanes (-) over Badgers- Both these clubs were major disappointments not only to their fans but to their 'backers' as well. Miami was sitting pretty the first week of October at 5-1 and then dropped their next four until closing with a pair of easy wins over Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh going 2-4 ATS on the road. That same week Wisconsin was 5-1 and then went 3-4 the rest of the way but just 3-9 ATS. This is a rematch of lasts year's Orange Bowl when Wisconsin won outright in Miami 34-24 . The Hurricanes are just 1-7 in their last eight bowl games and it seems a bit strange for them to be favored here. I figure 'speed kills' and the Canes have plenty of it and may leave the lead footed Badgers holding their jocks. The Badgers just haven't had it this season. Take MIAMI!

Minnesota vs. Georgia Tech 5:15 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Yellow Jackets- The storyline here will surround the fact that Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson has stepped down and will be on the sideline for the final time with the Yellow Jackets. Johnson's triple-option has been among the NCAA rushing leaders perennially and as usual his team got better as the season wore on winning six of their last seven. Minnesota also needed a late push winning three of their final five to become bowl eligible including a final season 37-15 victory over Wisconsin. Although Minnesota will be with two outstanding defensive players they will overcome Tech's sudden attitude with the departure of Johnson. Take MINNESOTA!

Ohio vs San Diego State 8:00 ET

Aztecs (+) over Bobcats- Okay, 'we' have some issues about this game with Ohio from the Mid-American Conference being favored. As it is, the MAC has had one of the worst bowl results than any other conference even worse than the Big-Ten and have already lost with Northern Illinois this time around. San Diego State who at one time was 6-1 has lost their last three and five of six and are 1-6 ATS in their last seven contests. The Aztecs were beset with injuries to key personal who have returned for this contest. Ohio who runs the ball for the most part will be up against the Aztecs defense that ranks fourth nationally in rushing defense. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! 

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Las Vegas Bowl Winner

Arizona State vs. Fresno State 3:30 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Bulldogs- Fresno State enters Las Vegas winners of their last three and nine of 10 including the Mountain West Championship overtime 19-16 win over Boise State. With seven wins and a trip to a bowl game most are surprised Herm Edwards was able to pull off a successful first season at Arizona State and they enter with four wins tin their last five. Normally, I'm concerned about the MWC's ability to stay with the Pac-12 but the Sun Devils have been a piece of cake for the inferior conference going 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. ASU's leading receiver will skip this game and that will put the ball in the hands of All Pac-12 running back Eno Benjamin who had 277 carries for 1,524 yards. Take ARIZONA STATE!

Navy vs. Army 3:00 ET

Midshipman (+) over Cadets- As an 'Army' man (drafted) I always felt a pang every year as the Navy with superior talent just ran roughshod over the Cadets time and again winning 14 straight in the series and many of them not even close. This time around the roles are reversed as it is the Army that is 9-2 and riding a seven game win streak while the Navy is 3-9 and off a loss to Tulane and 8-of-9. It has been eons since The Army has been this kind of favorite in this game. The Knights are favored by a solid touchdown and ranked No. 25 with a ground attack that produces over 300 yards per game, only Georgia Tech averaged more. The Navy has lost 12 straight away from home but are No. 3 nationally in rushing at 288.5 yards a game. The Midshipman's defense has been questioned but and rightfully so surrendering 35 points per games but, their level of competition is stronger then the Army's Ivy league fare. Although, this season the Knights defeated both mutual opponents while Navy lost to both Hawaii and Air Force. Still, this is ARMY/NAVY...take a hungry dog! Take NAVY!

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Big-Ten Power Play Winner

Northwestern vs Ohio State 8:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Buckeyes- Having used the Buckeyes as my Early-Bird winner (10-2 86%) over Michigan last Saturday I have no qualms about playing against them this week. My problem is not on how good Ohio State's offense is but in my lack of confidence in Northwestern who I deem as being a bit short in talent with recent bowl editions. I expect this line to keep running 'up' until game time as the 'public' will believe that the #6 Buckeyes must run up the score to overcome #5 Oklahoma who played earlier. This just sweetens the pot for the Wildcats who will be looking to win the game. Take NORTHWESTERN!  

Chip's 'Guaranteed' WAC Vegas Hotline Winner

Chip Chirimbes, Las Vegas Hilton Handicapping Champion was 4-1 80% with his Fab-5 Best Bets last Saturday including his Vegas Hotline winner Arizona (+2) 40-41 over Arizona State. Chip is now 9-1 90% the last two Saturdays with his NCAA Fab-5 Best Bets and has a 'Guaranteed' Vegas Hotline winner between Fresno State and Boise State. Get it NOW only $49 or part of Chip's Top-3 or Fab-5 (9-1 L/ 2Wks) NCAA Best Bets!

Fresno State at Boise State 7:45 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Broncos- Its fitting that these two meet in the Mountain West Championship game as they were by far the best teams in one of the countries weakest conferences. Underdog 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Fresno is 0-3 ATS in their last three contests after a seven-game ATS win streak, Boise comes in winning their last seven-games with three straight covers. Considering the Broncos are 5-1 at home this is a very short number and tells me Telford's Bulldogs has a shot. Take FRESNO STATE!

Utah vs Washington 8:00 ET

Utes (+) over Huskies- Last week we posted Washington as our 'Highest-Rated' Guaranteed winner (9-1 90% L-10) and they delivered in a big way dominating Washington State 28-15. The Huskies were the Pac-12 favorites to become the first team from the conference to get into the FBS Final–4, but were exposed early in a loss to Auburn as quarterback Jake Browning and running back Myles Gaskin just didn't reach their potential. The Huskies already own a win over the Utes a 21-7 victory on September 15 but the underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Washington is 0-5 ATS in their last five on grass while Utah is 7-1 ATS in their last eight on grass. The Utes are going with replacement quarterback Jason Shelley which only strengthens their resolve. Take UTAH!

Notre Dame at Southern California 8:00 ET

Trojans (+) over Fighting Irish- Last week 'we' had Best Bet winners in both these teams matchups as Notre Dame crushed Syracuse 36-3 Power Play winner and USC fell 'outright' 34-27 to UCLA in our Rivalry winner. After what 'we' saw last week and with the Irish needing just to win here to go undefeated and grasp a spot in the college football version of the Final-Four this line will be greatly inflated. On the other side, after winning 11 games and the Pac-12 title the Trojans must get an upset win here they will miss out on a bowl game. USC has lost four of their last five but will put a maximum effort here. Take the generous points...take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

Louisiana State at Texas A&M 7:30 ET

Aggies (-) over Tigers- Okay, here we have it! The 'Jerry Special,' you remember that...It's when an unranked team (Texas A&M) is favored over a ranked team (#7 LSU). So, Jerry is 9-2 88% in this situation this season and note that the favorite is 7-0 SU and ATS in the last seven meetings and guess what...all seven wins were by the Tigers. But, this is a 'new' season at Texas A&M with Jimbo Fisher getting his first crack as an SEC school against the Bengals. Personally, I am not that impressed with LSU and can see the A&M No.2 defense against the run allowing just 80 yards per game shutting down the Tigers. Take the AGGIES!

Michigan at Ohio State 12:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Wolverines- This is so illogical that it can't be any other way. Ohio State may be 10-1 but the have had a mediocre season football quality wise. After an opening week loss the Notre Dame the Wolverines have reeled off 10 straight wins and for the most part in impressive performances. I could come up with some stuff like the 'Dog is 4-1 in the last five meetings which also means that Michigan is 4-1 last five because they have been the 'dog each time. Well, the rolls are reversed here and the pressure is on the Wolverines. What bothers me some is that I don't ever remember the Buckeyes being an underdog at home, like I said, the 'rolls are reversed.' Still, the points are a bonus and may become a factor as I expect the Buckeyes to move the ball better than the Blue Maze. Take THE OHIO STATE!

Washington at Washington State 8:30 ET

Huskies (+) over Cougars- I know, I understand and the Cougars are that good, I understand that the Huskies have been over-rated and underachieved (Except as 'our' Blowout GOY Winner 28-7 over BYU) all year long and are a miserable 2-9 ATS while Washington State is a most impressive 10-1 both SU and ATS and as heavy favorites in places. As school history goes it is and has been all Washington winning the last four and going 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings at Washington State. The Huskies do it again...take WASHINGTON!

Oklahoma at West Virginia 8:00 ET

Sooners over Mountaineers- Love the matchup as No. 13 West Virginia hosts No. 6 Oklahoma for a berth in the Big-12 Championship game. This could very well end up a shootout between a pair of premiere quarterbacks in college football. I have already stated that I believe the Sooners Kyle Murray is the most 'explosive' player in NCAA football and then West Virginia has Will Geir at QB who many feel will be the first pick in the draft. Grier has thrown for 3,325 yards and 33 touchdowns with eight interceptions while Murray has thrown for 3,310 yards 34 TD's and just sic ints along with 739 yards rushing for 10 touchdowns. Although the Sooners have won the last four meetings and 19 consecutive true road games, all said, the Mountaineers are off a lost at Oklahoma State and will rebound here for their first Big-12 win over the Sooners. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

Arizona at Washington State 10:30 ET

Wildcats (+) over Cougars- Washington State posted their 6th win in-a-row over Colorado (UGH) last week and are now 9-1 on the season with their only loss at USC 39-36. Arizona opened the season a 11.5-point favorite against BYU and were trounced 28-23 in a game the wasn't that close. The Wildcats have won their last two and the last one was two weeks ago over Colorado 42-34 and they a win here or one in their final game against Arizona State. I have to like Arizona's chances here as the underdog is 10-4 ATS in the series. Take ARIZONA!

Chip's 'Guaranteed' ACC Vegas Insider Winner (7-2 78%)

Boston College at Florida State 3:30 ET

Seminoles (+) over Eagles- in my 'Bubble has burst' category Boston College is the leader in the clubhouse. They had huge expectations (so did 'we') last Saturday night on National TV hosting Clemson. Well, they were dominated in a 27-7 drubbing by the Tigers as they lost their one-man offense in running back AJ Dillon hurting (he should be an NFL player) to an ankle injury. Meanwhile, the Seminoles have lost three straight and are 3-7 ATS on the season and coach Willie Taggert still doesn't have a clue. But, Florida has a history of pounding the Eagles and with this ridiculous 'number' it is more than likely State posts a win here. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Pac-12 'Rivalry' Winner

Southern Cal at U.C.L.A. 3:30 ET

Bruins (+) over Trojans- It hasn't been the best of season's for this pair of LA schools as USC is just 5-5 and 3-7 ATS while the Bruins are 2-8 and only 4-6 ATS. So disappointing has been the year for but these clubs this is the most combined losses they have ever had when meeting. USC leads the series 49-31-7 but are just 7-10 against UCLA in the Rose Bowl including 2-5 ATS in their last seven visits. I'm not so crazy the way this one sets up with the Trojans off a loss to Cal and UCLA beating ASU. Still I see the Bruins who have lost the last three meetings straight-up pull of a win as they have come on after a weak start. Take U.C.L.A.!

Chip's 'Guaranteed' Big-12 Megabucks Winner

West Virginia at Oklahoma State 3:30 ET

Cowboys (+) over Mountaineers- OK St is another club on the cusp where at 5-5 where they must win this week or next to become bowl eligible and for the Cowboys are at TCU next. West Virginia has been nearly flawless only stubbing their toe at Iowa State and they are tied with Oklahoma who they play next week. So does that give the Mountaineers leeway of they fail here and defeat the Sooners next week. Cowboys can buck the odds here and post a win for 'us' all. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Texas at Texas Tech 4:30 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Longhorns- Texas as my 'Free' release broke my heart last Saturday as West Virginia scored the 1-point game winner in the final moment. Texas Tech (+14) was 'our' Top-3 Vegas Hotline winner 46-51 over Oklahoma last week and are ready to win here against a dispirited Longhorns squad who have dominated the series 50-17 but Tech has won two-of-three although they haven't defeated Texas at home since 2008 with Michael Crabtree. The Red Raiders most likely will be without freshman quarterback Alan Bowman and he will be replaced by sophomore Jett Duffy who has game experience. The Longhorns who already are porous on defense lost three more starters last week against the Mountaineers. The 'line' gives this one away. Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS after a SU loss. Take TEXAS TECH!

Washington State at Colorado 3:30 ET

Buffaloes (+) over Cougars- Colorado started the season 5-0 and was fantasizing about competing with the Pac-12 elite (If there are any) as they were 2-0 in conference defeating UCLA and ASU and then 'Oh Lordy' they played next four games and haven't won since. Washington State meanwhile, is 8-1 and has ripped off five straight winners and are 4-0 ATS on the road. Coach Mike Leach said of last weeks narrow 19-13 win over Cal is 'good for teams to play close games.' I hope so Mike because 'we' have the Buffaloes and the points. Colorado will have receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. returns after missing three games all losses and the Buffaloes are 5-1 when he plays. In a tough one take COLORADO!

Northwestern at Iowa 3:30 ET

Hawkeyes (-) over Wildcats- Okay here we go in Big Ten West Division action where the leader Northwestern (5-1) is a double-digit underdog the (3-3) Hawkeyes in Iowa City. This is because the odds-makers see the Wildcats a step or two below what is expected and their numbers reenforce that belief as they point differential in virtually even. Iowa on the other hand is a plus +12 on a neutral field. This is enhanced when one realizes the Wildcats are 3-0 SU on the road but the visitor is just 2-6 ATS in this series and the favorite is 6-1 ATS. Take IOWA!

Fresno State at Boise State 10:30 ET

Broncos (+) over Bulldogs- One thing that I would bet on here is that this will be a great football game another thing I would bet on is Chip's Pac-12 Game of Year (Sat 3:30). Both teams are well coached, have talent and don't wilt under pressure. Jeff Tedford have the Bulldogs back on the level they held since the 90's when Jim Sweeney and then Pat Hill led the way. Fresno State comes to Albertsons Stadium winners of seven straight while the Broncos have won their last four after a 3-2 start. As much as I like the Bulldogs (and I do) and although they are 7-0 on the MWC road they have lost nine straight in Boise. This is the first time since 1999 at Boise State has been a home conference underdog. Bronco senior quarterback Brett Rypien has won 34 starts and he adds one more tonight. Take BOISE STATE!

Toledo at Northern Illinois 8:00 ET

Rockets (+) over Huskies- After a slow start 1-3 with losses to Iowa, Utah and at Florida State things looked dim before conference play started. Starting with a win over E. Michigan they have reeled off five straight going 4-1 ATS. Toledo has had some prolific scoring games netting 66, 63, 52 , 51 1n3 45 in their five wins. But, the Rockets are going to have to man up to the level of competition here. The price seems a bit low to me but with the road team going 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and with the Huskies 1-7 ATS at home against winning teams. Blast off with the ROCKETS and Chip's Pac-12 GOY (7-0 100% ) winner Saturday! Take TOLEDO!

Missouri at Florida 4:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Gators- Florida is coming off a major letdown as their SEC chances are done. Meanwhile, Missouri is still searching for their first SEC win (0-4) and nothing less then a total offensive collapse in the 2nd half last week (zero 1st downs-8 straight 3-n-out)) against Kentucky kept them out of the win column. Tigers quarterback Drew Luck will play at the next level and I expect him to rally his offense this week with a great Gator challenge. Florida QB situation is one of inconsistency and turnovers. Look for the Tigers to notch their first SEC win...take MISSOURI!

Penn State at Michigan 3:45 ET

Wolverines (-) over Nittany Lions- I sort of feel a little out of my head giving so many points to the Nittany Lions but that's why I'm attracted to Michigan. The points are generous for a reason and maybe the Wolverine 'Revenge Tour' has something to do with it as they are avenging losses from last season, first to Wisconsin, then Michigan State and now for Penn State who crushed Michigan 42-13 last season. Jim Harbaugh said that they will pay for 'rubbing' it in. Take MICHIGAN!

Texas at Oklahoma State 8:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Longhorns- Listen if the Cowboys weren't able to control Longhorns we would all be vegetarian streak including a win over Oklahoma 48-45. Oklahoma State has a high powered offense that averages nearly 40-points per contest and they have had two weeks as well to pine off their beating at Kansas State (maybe a look-ahead). The Longhorns needed the two weeks for QB Sam Ehlinger to return from a sprained passing shoulder. Texas has the series edge 24-8 but the Cowboys have won six of the past eight and tonight makes another WIN! Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Utah at U.C.L.A. 10:30 ET

Bruins (+) over Utes- Utah is in position to win the South Division (3-2) but must first get by the Bruins who still have a shot after starting 0-5 (2-2). The Utes are off a convincing win over USC 41-28 moving them into the ranked teams at No. 24 and now catch a squad that is brimming with confidence after posting back-to-back wins smashing California and defeating Arizona. Utah is knowN for it's defense and it is UCLA that has excelled leading the Pac-12 with a plus 6 turnover ration. They have enough to get the money here. Take U.C.L.A.

N.C. State at Clemson 3:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- Let me start by saying if I had not already posted my NCAA Blow-Out Game of the Year (Washington 28-7 winner) this would be it. Don't be sucked into taking an undefeated conference rival and all those points. It's a SUCKERS BET! Don't do it. The trends here will support the Wolfpack on numerous counts including they fact that they are 18-3 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye, that they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips here, the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight and to cap it off Clemson is 0-4 ATS in their last four at home. Well, why then...I guess THEY'RE DUE! Take CLEMSON!

Cincinnati at Temple 12:00 ET

Owls (-) over Bearcats- Here we go again...Jerry called! He's right! Last week he called and pointed out unranked USC as a 7-point favorite over a #17 ranked Colorado and won easily. This week he called to remind me that ranked and unbeaten #21 Cincinnati (6-0) comes to Temple as an underdog to the Scarlet Knights (4-2). If you are looking for answers or a rational explanation as to how this or that is going to happen or why, for that matter it is going to happen. But, it should! Maybe, some people of 'influence' in the Philadelphia area want the Owls to shine or maybe there are conditions and circumstances surrounding this game that we never be privy to. By the way the longer the wait the better the 'price' will be! Take TEMPLE!

Colorado at Southern California 10:30 ET

Trojans (-) over Rockies- My good friend Jerry called to let me know that is a game that fits a certain criteria I have about ranked teams being favored against unranked teams. What we have here is an undefeated 5-0 #18 Colorado club that is visiting USC who they have never beaten 0-12. The Buffaloes are off a bye week and have had two weeks to gloat and pat each other on the back. This week they are up against a Trojan team that was off to a slow start and has began to put it together winning their last two conference games and are ready here. Add that Colorado is 1-6 ATS after a bye. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

Central Florida at Memphis 3:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Knights- Do any of you guys remember last years shoot-out as Central Florida won and covered as the home favorite (-6.5) 62-55. Well, Scott Frost (0-5 at Nebraska) is gone and nothing has changed for the Knights as they are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS laying an average 26 points per game. Memphis is averaging over 46 points and is led by Brady White who is at 69.2 completions along with Darrell Henderson leads the ACC in rushing and averages 11.8 points per game. The home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 and the Knights are 1-4 ATS in their last five at Memphis. Take the TIGERS!

Nebraska at Northwestern 12:00 ET

Cornhuskers (-) over Wildcats- Okay what's going on here. The opening line on this matchup was Northwestern -9 and in one swoop the number dropped to 3.5 and that is mostly due fact (I believe) that the Cornhuskers (0-5) are ready to win. Nebraska has been able to move the ball of late gaining over 500 yards in each of their last two contests (first time since 2007 that they had back-to-back 500 yards on offense. Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez accounted for 441 total yards setting a freshman school record against Wisconsin and will lead this team to their first win of the season. Take NEBRASKA!

Texas Tech at Texas Christian 7:30 ET

Horned Frogs (-) over Red Raiders- From what I've seen of these two clubs these 'price' is way high in my minds eye. Texas Tech is averaging 48.4 points per game and yet have a pair of losses to West Virginia and Mississippi (?). TCU is also 3-2 but has been totally unimpressive to date going 2-3 ATS with losses to Ohio State and Texas. The Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after a bye week and the Frogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four conference games. Trends all one sided and yet the line invites Tech action. No for me...take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Notre Dame at Virginia Tech 8:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Fighting Irish- No. 6 Notre Dame is having dreams of an undefeated season and a FBS Final-4 berth. No. 24 Virginia Tech who opened the season with a dominating win over Florida state only to be upset by 27-point underdog Old Dominion as the lost their starting quarterback Josh Jackson. The Irish have made a change of their own at QB but voluntarily inserted in Ian Book place of Brandon Wimbush and Book has responded with 74.3% completions while throwing for 525 yards. The Hokies once again see this as an opportunity to crack the Top-10 and move up in the nation scene. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Utah State at Brigham Young 9:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Cougars- Okay, Kenny this one is yours! But, I'm on board 100%. When the season opened the Vegas odds-makers had little regard for BYU making them a 10-point dog at Arizona (Wildcats are terrible) and then a 23-point underdog at Wisconsin, but two road upset wins have changed their impression. Now, after losing in 'our' Blow-out' GOY (they were on the short end 35-7 to Washington) they come up a meager favorite at home against an intra-state rival. Utah State ( 3-1, 4-0 ATS) who has been a doormat for the most part as far as college football is concerned is averaging 51.5 points a game and is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips the BYU. Note this is a state rival and the underdog is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings. Take UTAH STATE!

Brigham Young at Washington 8:30 ET

Huskies (-) over Cougars- Whoa...whoa! What's is this 'number' supposed to be? A pair of 3-1 clubs with mirror image ATS record with BYU 3-1 and Washington 1-3 ATS. This match-up makes me sweat as I hate to lay points like this but there are too many positive factors to ignore. The bad stuff is BYU is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and the Huskies are 0-4 in their last four non-conference games. Okay, that's out of the way and I don't care about it because this 'number' is so outrageous it takes precedence over everything. The Cougars have posted impressive wins over Arizona 28-23, Wisconsin 24-21 and last week 30-3 over McNeese State. And that's what going to hurt them. Washington had a toughie last week against Arizona State winning 27-20 but have won three straight since Auburn and are gaining momentum. I don't expect this price to rise but to drop. The fact that this is the FOX-TV game rises my expectations. Take WASHINGTON!

Stanford at Oregon 8:00 ET

Ducks (+) over Cardinal- Man, where's Chip Kelly when you need him...(getting killed at UCLA). Oregon was a Pac-12 power under Kelly getting the Championship game before falling to Auburn and Cam Newtown, anyway after pounding three nobodies scoring 155 points while going 3-0. Stanford will have the return of running back Bryce Love the Heisman candidate who missed the thriller against UC Davis (30-10). Ducks have scored 43 points per game the 18 contests and are looking to avenge last years 49-7 loss at Stanford. Take OREGON!

Michigan State at Indiana 7:30 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- This could have been at match-up of unbeaten's if the Spartans hadn't just totally fell apart in the fourth quarter two weeks ago at Arizona State blowing a late 13-3 lead. Indiana is 3-0 SU, 1-2 ATS having struggled against the number covering as a favorite for the first time last time out against Ball State. Last season the Hoosiers snatched defeat in the jaws of victory at Michigan in their 19-7 loss and look to atone against a Michigan State team that may not be as strong as predicted. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take INDIANA!

Texas Christian at Texas 4:30 ET

Longhorns (+) over Horned Frogs- After cashing in with both these clubs last Saturday I still see a winner between them Saturday afternoon. Texas worn down the youthful USC squad in the second half and won 37-14 in a crushing win that coach Tom Herman said was much needed to understand the energy needed to win. TCU gave 'us' a major effort and could have actually defeated Ohio State if not for two late INT's. There is no doubt in my head who the better team is as TCU has won the last four meetings by and average of 30 points. But, the Frogs are off an emotion home loss to the Buckeyes and may be a little 'down.' In a surprise take...TEXAS!

Arizona State at San Diego State 10:30 ET Aztecs (+) over Sun Devils- Do Sun Devils come out at night...not this week! There are some many reasons to be 'against' Arizona State (Herm Edwards aside). Rocky Long's San Diego State squad is a little banged-up but he always manages to have his troops ready when playing against the PAC-12 where he is 5-1-1 ATS as a home dog. Note, that ASU is 1-5 ATS in their last six against the Mountain West and worst then that for them they fall into a 8-27 ATS go 'against' trend being 2-0 SU and favored on the road in Game 3. Take SAN DIEGO STATE!
