San Diego State at U.N.L.V. 11:30 ET

Rebels (+) over Aztecs- UNLV hadn't won a football game in over two years and now they have won two straight and are not longer the doormat of the Mountain West. San Diego State has defeated the Rebels in 15 of the last 19 meetings and are in position to win the Western Division title after their win over Nevada last week but will still have to win against Boise State next week. Although, UNLV is 2-8 SU on the season they are 7-3 ATS and have played tough against the likes of Fresno State and others in the MWC. SDS enter the top-25 despite averaging only 137 yards passing ranking 126rg nationally and the rebels have their career rushing leader in Charles Williams who has gained over 4,000 career rushing yards. At home with a new confidence and a great running back the Rebels should keep this one close. Take UNLV!

Air Force at Nevada 9:00 ET

Falcons (+) over Wolf Pack- Nevada had a chance to secure a spot in the MWC title game but was upended by San Diego State 23-21 last weekend and now face an always tough service academy who broke a 2-game losing streak with a win over Colorado State and are now 7-3 AU on the season. The Wolf pack have the nation's 4th ranked passing game with 373 ypg while the Air Force has the nation's No. 5 ranked defense allowing just 288 ypg overall along with the nation's No.1 rushing offense at 311 ypg. After blowing last weeks opportunity I believe the Pack will be dispirited. Take the AIR FORCE.

Saturday Hot Nite Fever Money Game Winner

N. C. State at Wake Forest 7:30 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Demon Deacons- I call it my 'bang-bang' theory. What happens is that when a team goes deep into the season undefeated and then suffers their initial loss. Most believe that they will bounce back stronger but alas it's not so. It also plays in NCAA BK where their thoughts of championships has been shattered it take a while to recoup. Take N.C. STATE!

Megabucks

Notre Dame at Virginia 7:30 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Fighting Irish- Notre Dame won their fourth straight win their third straight by double-digits sinking the Navy 34-6. Virginia is off a bye week after allowing 40+points in two straight games and are looking for to playing a ranked No. 9 Fighting Irish club that has won 39 consecutive games against unranked opponents! Somehow only 6-3 Virginia has the No. 1 ranked total yards offense in the nation averaging 545 ypg the 'Golden Domer's' average 393 ranking 71st. The Cavaliers are 13-3 ATS after a bye week and 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 home games. Take VIRGINIA!

Saturday's Hot Nite Fever High Roller

Texas A&M at Mississippi 7:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Aggies- A pair of 7-2 ranked SEC teams face off when No. 11 Texas A&M comes to Oxford to square with No. 15 Mississippi. Texas A&M has won four straight after dropping a pair to Arkansas and Mississippi State while the Rebels' loses from two Alabama schools in the Crimson Tide and Auburn but recovered with a win over upstart Liberty 27-14 last Saturday. Ole Miss averages over 525 yards a game and almost 600 throwing out Bama six weeks ago. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Afternoon Delight Vegas Insider

Maryland at Michigan State 4:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Spartans- I call it the 'Bang-Bang' when a team has aspersions and losses late into the season they have difficulty rising to the point of enthusiasm that one had and struggle their following game. It happen to Iowa, it happen to Penn State and it's about to happen to Michigan State. Now, Maryland is nothing special but the Spartans have Ohio State in Columbus next week and with their dreams shattered last week they should be in a lull that the 5-4 Terrapins can take advantage of as they average 430 ypg including 316 passing. Take MARYLAND!

Purdue at Ohio State 3:30 ET

Buckeyes (-) over Boilermakers- Not since 'we' had Georgia laying 17-points to Arkansas (37-0) have I felt so strongly about a side. Last week 'we' had Purdue as our' Big Ten Game of Year winning outright over Michigan State and you know all about that but the Boilermakers have done their just upsetting a pair of higher ranked undefeated teams in Iowa and last week over the Spartans weary this week it all collapses as the Buckeyes take control early and win going away! Take OHIO STATE!

Afternoon Delight Rivalry Winner

Miami-Fl at Florida State 3:30 ET

Seminoles (+) over Hurricanes- In all my years and there have been a few I don't really ever recall these two schools having both played at such an inferior level. Miami has shown some life because thankfully for them imposter D'Eriq King was injured and future pro QB Tyler Van Dyke took over leading the Hurricanes to five wins. Miami leads the rivalry 35-30 having won the last four meetings and their last three overall. FSU has dropped their last two and have had difficulties on offense but they do manage to score points. The Canes may have the stats and the swagger but this on field their arrogance will cost them here. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Afternoon Delight Inner Circle

Minnesota at Iowa 3:30 ET

Golden Gophers(+) over Hawkeyes- The Golden Gophers had their 4-game winning streak snapped against Illinois last week when Iowa ended a 2-game slide 17-12 at Northwestern. The Hawkeyes still seem in a fog since their first loss to Purdue and are 0-3 ATS since. Minnesota may have lost their 1st team All-Big Ten running back but they did sign coach PJ Fleck to a 7-year $35 million contract and the kids are looking for their share. They earn it tonight. Road team 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MINNESOTA!

Big Ten Bankroll Power Play

Michigan at Penn State Noon ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Wolverines- This should be a good old fashion Big Ten slam you opponent battle. At least it would appear that way but Michigan has some firepower and Penn State is a different team on offense if Sean Clifford is healthy. After opening 5-0 Clifford was injured with a 20-3 lead against Iowa and the Nittany Lions when on a 3-game losing streak before winning at Maryland last week. The Wolverines only loss came on the road blowing a 30-16 lead to Michigan State and have lost five of six SU at Beaver Stadium. Michigan's offense and defensive both have more impressive numbers than the Lions but they are 0-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Lions are 8-2 Last 10 conference games. Take PENN STATE!

SEC Bankroll Hotline Winner

Mississippi State at Auburn Noon ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- I know on thing about this matchup and that it will be a game of contrasting styles as Auburn will try and manhandle you and the Bulldogs who average just 56 yards rushing will use their No. 5 rated passing offense 376 ypg. Both clubs are coming off losses with Mississippi State getting edged out by Arkansas and the Tigers getting routed by A&M. Normally I would considered the team that needed to rebound the most but in this cast in is not Auburn. If the Bulldogs can force an opening free wheeling game Bo Nix and the Tigers will be caged. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE!

Big-12 Heavy Hitter

Oklahoma at Baylor Noon ET

Bears (+) over Sooners- All year long I've been thinking that the Sooners were underrated while knowing that Baylor was! We had TCU a 'Money Game' winner over Baylor last week who lost after a win over Texas and now I expect the angry Bears to be ready of Oklahoma. This is a game for the intangibles to be a factor for the Bears to prevail. Somehow some way they may throw a monkey wrench into the committees plans. Bears are 4-1 ATS in the five meetings as hosts and Sooners are 0-4 ATS after a win of 20+ points (won 52-21 v TT). Take BAYLOR!

Cincinnati at South Florida 6:00 ET

Bearcats (-) over Bulls- I've been a long time to catch these two teams in this kind of spot and I have them both where I want them. 'We' posted Cincinnati as our 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks the first week in October as they manhandled Notre Dame posting a 24-13 win (7-3 70% NCAAF L-10) and since the ranking came out they are 0-3 ATS with three SU wins over inferior competition defeating Navy, Tulane and Tulsa. South Florida opened the season losing to NC State 45-0 as a 19-point underdog and will be overwhelmed here. Take CINCINNATI BIG!

PS- Chip's Game of Year WINNER Purdue (+3) 40-29 OUTRIGHT over MSU!

Don't miss his NCAAF BLOWOUT Game of Year (7-3 70%) Saturday.

North Carolina at Pittsburgh 7:30 ET

Panthers (-) over Tar Heels- Without question two of the best college offenses go at it with the Tar Heels and Pitt. The Panthers totaled over 636 yards last week against Duke and have gone over 600 yards in a game twice this season and are No. 2 at 543 ypg and. North Carolina is at 490 ypg has been a disappointment for the most part this season and they are coming off a huge upset over undefeated Wake Forest. Don't trust the Heels and just don't think they have what it takes to win here. Take PITTSBURGH!

PS- Chip's Game of Year WINNER Purdue (+3) 40-29 OUTRIGHT over MSU!

Don't miss his NCAAF BLOWOUT Game of Year (7-3 70%) Saturday.

Kent at C. Michigan 8:00 ET

Golden Flashes (+) over Chippewas- Last week when I saw this explosive Kent offense in motion and I got more than I expected as they are ranked 12th in the nation with 471 ypg and that gets my attention. Unfortunately, they surrender 496 ypg. (129th) but it's the Flashes balance that is so impressive as they dole it out evenly averaging 241 rushing and 236 passing. They are 13-5 ATS in last 18 MAC games and the road team is 4-1 ATS last five. Add that the Chippewas are 0-4 ATS as favorites in last four and they are 1-6 ATS following a SU win. Take KENT!

PS- Chip was a Game of Year WINNER w/Purdue (+3) 40-29 OUTRIGHT over MSU!

Don't miss his next Megabucks Game of Year (7-3 70%) Saturday.

Oregon at Washington 7:30 ET

Huskies (+) over Ducks- Somehow Oregon is No. 4 in the most important of all polls and that seems a bit high to me for a team that lost to a 3-5 Stanford team while playing in the weakest of the Power Five conferences the PAC-12. The Ducks travel to Washington to play the 4-4 Huskies, a team that they have beaten 15 of the last 17 meetings straight up and are 13-2-1 ATS in the last 16 including 6-1 ATS at Washington. After losing four straight to the 'number' the Huskies posted a last second 20-13 win over Stanford last week (Power Play winner) and will get the money here. Take WASHINGTON!

N. C. State at Florida State 4:00 ET

Seminoles (+) over Wolfpack- Florida State lost their first four games and looked terrible doing it and then seemed to turn things around with a mini 3-game win streak before falling to Clemson last Saturday. The Seminoles actually led the toothless Tigers 24-20 with 2:53 left in the game before events turned into a before 30-20 loss providing Clemson their only 'cover' of the season. NC State is 6-2 scoring 31.5 ppg and has a huge game next week against undefeated Wake Forest. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and the underdogs is 14-5-1 ATS in the last 20 meetings. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Michigan State at Purdue 3:30 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Spartans- I just can't pass it up! The Michigan State turnaround from last season to this season is something no one saw coming and they moved to No. 3 in the most important of all polls after a huge comeback win over Michigan last week where they trailed by 16-points in the second half and dominated the Wolverines from that point on and won going away. Still the Spartans have Ohio State and Penn State remaining after next weeks encounter against Maryland. The underdogs is 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings and Purdue is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take PURDUE!

Baylor at Texas Christian 3:30 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Bears- TCU has been one of the better coached teams since 2000 when Gary Patterson took over a lifeless program and built them to prominence. But, after losing last week to Texas and dropping to 3-5 SU the brass at Texas Christian decided not to renew his contract and the prideful man that he is took a hike and didn't wait until the season ended. No. 14 Baylor is back among the ranked clubs but are 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings and the underdogs isn 7-2 ATS in the lsat nine. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Oklahoma State at West Virginia 3:30 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Cowboys- After opening the season with a pair of narrow non-cover wins against inferior competition Oklahoma State has remained unbeaten against the points while winning 5-of-6 SU and losing outright at Iowa State 24-21 as a 6-point underdog. The Cowboys do it by lassoing their opponents offense allowing just 295 yards a game and holding them to 18 ppg. West Virginia seems to play every season the same way by losing on the road (1-3) and winning at home where they are 3-1 SU and ATS. The Mountaineers just defeated Iowa State 38-31 last Saturday gaining 492 yards against the stellar Cyclone defense. The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

Wake Forest at North Carolina 12:00 ET

Tar Heels over Demon Deacons- Here we go again with an unranked team (not even with a winning record favored over a Top-10 teams as disappointing North Carolina is favored while hosting No. 9 and undefeated Wake Forest. The Tar Heels were ranked No. 10 to start the season but at 4-4 this game is crucial if they hope to qualify for the bowl bid of any kind and have a tough battle coming up Thursday against Pittsburgh. Wake Forest has had great starts before but usually falter in November where they are 7-11 in the past five seasons. The Demon Deacons put up 496 ypg on offense but NC isn't far behind averaging 483 ypg. The Deacons are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 as road underdogs but the home team is 7-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Sweating this one out...take NORTH CAROLINA

Ohio State at Nebraska 12:00 ET

Cornhuskers (+) over Buckeyes- The Buckeyes have reeled off seven straight wins since their opening game loss to Oregon and have their sights set on a Nebraska team that is just 15-26 in Big Ten Play since Scott Frost took over the reins. At 3-6 this season the Cornhuskers do just enough to lose close as all their defeats have be by one score. Ohio State is No. 1 in yards and points per game putting up 548 ypg and 47.3 points. The Cornhuskers gain 470 yards a game and the Buckeyes defense is in the middle of the pack surrendering 356 ypg. Nebraska is 2-8 ARS as home dogs and OSU is 4-0-1 as road favorites. So, with desperation in their eyes and an offense that moves the ball I'll take the points with NEBRASKA!

Southern Methodist at Memphis 12:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Mustangs- Last week we posted Houston over SMU and were rewarded with a 44-37 win while Memphis fell to Central Florida 24-7 (Chip Shot winner). That was the No. 21 ranked Mustangs their first loss of the season and after seven straight wins they are set up for the bang-bang consecutive losses. It was disheartening loss as after tying the game with 17 seconds remaining they allow a 100-yard kickoff return. SMU is just 1-4 ATS as road favorites and the Tigers are not only 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and 6-0 ATS as home dogs. Take MEMPHIS!

Utah at Stanford 10:30 ET

Cardinal (+) over Utes- Utah (4-1) has a virtual 2-game lead over Arizona State (3-2) in the PAC-12 South Division as they have already defeated the Sun Devils. The Utes need only win 2-of-3 remaining games against playing winless Arizona (0-8) and Colorado (2-6) while the Sun Devils must sweep. Stanford is off a loss where they allowed a 20-yard TD pass with 21 seconds to go. Utah is 2-5 ATS as favorites while the Cardinal is 11-4 in their last 15 home games when underdogs and the underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Take STANFORD!

N. Illinois at Kent 7:00 ET

Golden Flashes (-) over Huskies- The two Division leaders in the MAC meet in Ohio with Northern Illinois as the only undefeated team (4-0) in conference play while Kent is 3-1 in conference action. These two have contrasting styles as the Huskies average a ball possession of 36:50 minutes per games while the Golden Flashes only keep the ball 25:04 minutes per game and that would lead you to believe that NIU has the superior offense. But, as a wise man once said 'Statistics never lie' but they can be very misleading. I say this because the Huskies average 398 ypg while Kent puts up 450.5 ypg, meaning that the Flashers make more explosive plays as both average 29 points per game. Take KENT!

Fresno State at San Diego State 10:30

Bulldogs (+) over Aztecs- San Diego State is 7-0 and one of nine undefeated FBS teams ranked No. 21 and is just a 1-point favorite against SWC rival Fresno State. The Bulldogs are 6-2 with losses to Oregon and Hawaii but have QB Jack Haener who ranks third in the country with 2,582 passing yards while they average 480 YPG as opposed to the Aztecs' who gain just 331 YPG ranked No. 111 nationally on offense. The Bulldogs are 21-5-1 ATS in their last 27 games as underdogs and 20-9-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take FRESNO STATE!

Penn State at Ohio State 7:30 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- My goodness how can I even think about this...Penn State has been helpless without Sean Clifford at quarterback and their season has gone down the tubes while the Buckeyes have bounced back since their loss to Oregon and are annihilating teams. But, with the return of Clifford fo the Lions and the fact that this game is in prime time Penn State will show up with a stout defense and a bushel of points. Somehow the will keep this one close as Ohio State who has scored 41, 59, 52, 66 and 54 points in each of the last five games will face the best defense they have seen this year. Take the points with PENN STATE!

S.M.U at Houston 7:00 ET

Cougars over Mustangs- Undefeated No. 16 SMU (7-0) is one of nine FBS clubs without a loss travels down the Houston Saturday night to play a Cougars clubs that has won six straight after an opening loss to Texas Tech. The Mustangs throttled Tulane 55-26 last Thursday while Houston had to go into overtime to defeat 3-4 East Carolina 31-24. SMU's win over the Green Wave was their only game played in the past three weeks and they could be a bit rusty as they are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. The Cougars are 6-2 ATS after an ATS loss and are 5-1 ATS against the Mustangs as hosts and the the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take HOUSTON!

Purdue at Nebraska 3:30 ET

Cornhuskers (-) over Boilermakers- Purdue stop in the Top-25 this first since 2014 was short-lived as they were pounded by Wisconsin 30-13 at home last week and now the downtrodden Boilermakers travel to Lincoln to play the Cornhuskers who have dropped their last two and four of their last five. Nebraska is 6-1-1 ATS after a straight up loss and are coming off a bye week after their loss at Minnesota two weeks ago (part of 'our' 3-0 Build Your Bankroll SWEEP) and defeated Purdue 37-27 in Lafayette last season. The 'Makers' are 1-8 ATS in their last Big Ten games and 1-6 in their last seven after a loss. Take NEBRASKA!

Iowa at Wisconsin 12:00 ET

Badgers (-) over Hawkeyes- Last week there were five NCAAF games where the ranked team was an underdog to an unranked team, a formula that has been successful with the favorite winning over the years. But, the oddsmakers were wrong the the 'public' won four of five with the only unranked points spread winner being Wisconsin (-3) over Purdue (a Build Your Bankroll winner for us). This week it happens again in the Badgers game against No. 10 Iowa who is a 3-point underdog. Wisconsin was 1-3 and and now the No. 2 rushing Big Ten offense and No. 2 nationally ranked defense allowing just 223 total yards per game are favored again. The Hawkeyes have the 120th ranked offense averaging just 311 ypg and won early with great defense and mirrors and defeated a crippled Penn State after their QB Clifford left with an injury and a 17-3 lead. Hawkeyes No. 1 in takeaways but Whisky is No. 1 nationally in rushing defense allowing just 53.3 ypg. Iowa is 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games when underdogs and fall short here. Take WISCONSIN!

Michigan at Michigan State 12:00 ET

Wolverines (-) over Spartans- This game has always bought the 'bragging rights' for the state of Michigan football but this season with both clubs undefeated (7-0) and Big Ten title implications also carrying weight. Both clubs have great offenses with Michigan averaging 443 YPG and Michigan State averaging 453 YPG but when it comes to defense the Wolverines have a huge edge ranking No. 11 in the nation allowing just 298 YPG while the Spartans are No. 87 allowing 406 YPG. With Michigan a favorite at East Lansing it draws some thoughts as to why when under Jim Harbaugh they are 2-11 SU against Top-10 ranked teams and they are 2-11 ATS in the last 13 meetings against the Spartans but Michigan State is just 4-15-2 ATS in their last 21 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last five as home underdogs. Take MICHIGAN!

Texas at Baylor 12:00 ET

Longhorns (+) over Bears- Texas has dominated this series since it started 110 years ago have a 79-27-4 series record over the Bears. The disappointing Longhorns have dropped their last two yo Oklahoma and Oklahoma State after having double-digit second half leads in both losses. They lead Oklahoma 28-3 in the first quarter before the Sooners posted one of the greatest comeback in the series history. The Texas offense averages 457 ypg and 41.6 points and will be ready to play their intrastate rival. No. 16 Baylor opened less than a FG favorite and that speaks volumes as to what the oddsmakers think. The Longhorns have had two weeks to prepare after their two losses to the Oklahoma schools and will be ready for 'bear'...get it 'Ready for Bear.' Take TEXAS!

Navy at Tulsa 7:30 ET

Golden Hurricanes (-) over Midshipman- For those of you that took advantage of my Build Your Bankroll package on Saturday you went 2-1 (5-1 last two weeks) with Navy (+24) being one of my early winners over Cincinnati (24-30). After a home game against the No. 2 team in the nation the Navy sails into Tulsa a landlocked city and gets grounded. The Golden Hurricane (3-4) are double-digit favorites because despite their loss on Saturday the Midshipman (1-6) played their best and most inspired game of the season. Only the remaining game against Army will bring that much out emotion out of this branch of the service academies. Navy has been a 'take' as an underdog on the road especially at Tulsa where they are 4-0 ATS in their last four trips to this slippery oil city. But, the Golden Hurricane (oh how tempted I am to call them 'showers') is 5-0 ATS after a bye week. Tough spot for the Navy...take TULSA!

USC at Notre Dame 7:30 ET

Trojans (+) over Fighting Irish- This game has lost its luster over the years as these two once national powers haven't played in a number of years and over time USC has been dominate in this series although Notre Dame has won the last three meetings. The Fighting Irish are 5-1 and ranked but to me have not been impressive as they struggle against better competition. USC is in flux but like ND has had two weeks to get ready and at 3-3 this may be their biggest games of the season. Jack Coan the Irish QB has been a disappointment and I don't expect any improvement here. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

N.C. State at Miami-Fl 7:30 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Wolfpack- My oh my...when I first saw this game on the Hurricanes schedule I was certain that I would be backing N.C. State especially after the way they started the season with the Wolfpack blowing out South Florida 45-0 and defeating Clemson 27-21 while Miami was crushed by Alabama and barely got by Appalachian State. But, the Canes although in a losing effort impressed me last week in their last at North Carolina and though they are just 2-4 on the season they are vastly improved from what I saw early in the year. Second year freshman Tyler Van Dyke has gotten better game by game and Miami is 6-2 Ats after allowing 40 or more points in their precious game. NC State is just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games, 1-6 ATS as road favorites and 7-15 ATS after a SU win. Take MIAMI-FL!

San Diego State at Air Force 7:00 ET

Falcons (-) over Aztecs- This Mountain West Conference battle will pit strength against strength as San Diego State brings their stout run defense up against the Air Force's nation leading triple-option run offense.The Aztecs run defense allows just 61.2 yards a game while the Falcons run offense averages 336.4 yards a game. The Fly-boys have lost eight straight in this series and yet they are favored over the No. 22 ranked team in the nation. SDS is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games against teams with winning home records and the Air Force is 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 home games against teams with winning records and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as favorites. Take AIR FORCE!

Oklahoma State at Iowa State 3:30 ET

Cyclones (-) over Cowboys- No. 8 Oklahoma State is undefeated (6-0) and just posted a huge (32-24) emotional win at Texas and this week the are a virtual touchdown underdog against unranked at Iowa State who has two losses. I may be getting sucked in here but the 'numbers' just don't add up and I trust the oddsmakers more than the pollsters. What bothers me more is that the Cowboys are 2907 ATS in their last 27 games as underdogs and 16-5 ATS against teams with winning records so it's obvious that they are the Rodney Dangerfield of college football getting 'no respect.' On the flip side the Cyclones are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and because this line seems so out of whack I will lay it. A 'Don't make sense' winner. Take IOWA STATE!

Wisconsin at Purdue 3:30 ET

Badgers (-) over Boilermakers- So Purdue has broken into the Top-25 first the first time in 14 years after defeating Iowa in Ames and returns home to find themselves as underdog to a disappointing Wisconsin team that is just 3-3 on the season. The Badgers were hard pressed to beat Army at home and find themselves with one of the worst FBS quarterbacks in the nation with Graham Mertz who opened his career last season completing 21 of 22 attempts but hasn't shown anything close to that this season. Wisconsin is 7-0 ATS in their last seven trips to Lafayette are 15-6 ATS as road favorites while the Boilermakers are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and 1-7 ATS in their last eight Big Ten encounters. Take WISCONSIN!

Cincinnati at Navy 12:00 ET

Midshipman (+) over Bearcats- This is a mismatch of giant proportions as No. 2 Cincinnati (6-0) sports a defense that only allows 294.5 ypg and the Midshipman offense is so inept that it ranked No. 126 and averages just 275.5 ypg. The Navy doesn't fly well averaging under 60 yards passing per game and were shutout 42-0 the last time these two met in 2018. Although the Bearcats have dominated most of the games they are just 1-4 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. It may look like the Navy's ship has sailed but they are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 conference games and 8-3 following an ATS loss. Somehow the Midshipman will stay afloat and cover this highest of numbers. Take NAVY!

Wake Forest at Army 12:00 ET

Black Knights (+) over Demon Deacons- Undefeated (6-0) and ranked No. 15 Wake Forest travels to West Point and is only a 3-point favorite against a 4-2 Army squad that doesn't anything near the quality schedule of the Demon Deacons. Having played against the service academies while I was in college I know how tough they can be especially at home. The Army is 3-0 SU at home this season and is coming off a hard fought loss (20-14) at Wisconsin where they held their own against the bad boys in the Big Ten allowing the Badgers just 310 yards on offense. Wake Forest is off an OT win at Syracuse where they totaled just 338 yards on offense and were out-gained by the Orange by 88 yards. Look for the outright upset here. Take ARMY!

Memphis at Central Florida 7:00 ET

Knights (+) over Tigers- Last week we posted Memphis over Navy and they won easily on Thursday night this time around they are on the road and will find the going more difficult. Central Florida had run off 13 straight wins in this series until the Tigers won last year's battle 50-49 although the Knights totaled 798 yards on offense. Memphis scored two TD's in the final 3:41 to overcome a 21-point CFU lead. This time around Knights coach Gus Malzahn will have the answer. Tigers are just 3-10 ATS after a win and 4-9 ATS as favorites. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

Tulane at S.M.U. 7:30 ET

Green Wave (+) over Mustangs- At 6-0 SMU is one of three teams in the AAC undefeated in conference play along with Cincinnati and Houston. Tulane (1-5) has yet to win a conference game and have lost their last four including all three road games. The Mustangs will have to meet the other pair of undefeated AAC foes in the next weeks on the road starting with Houston next week and Cincinnati two weeks after that. Both clubs were off last week with the Green Wave not having played since October 7 a 40-22 loss to Houston. Tulane's offense is better than many might realize as they put up nearly 400 yards a game including 159 yards through the air led by QB Michael Pratt who has 13 TD passes and five interceptions. Tulane actually led the Cougars 22-17 in the second half before falling the Houston but will keep pace for the full 60 minutes tonight. Take TULANE!

Coastal Carolina at Appalachian State 7:30

Mountaineers (+) over Chanticleers- Love the turn around here as a week ago we posted a Megabucks best bet winner with Lafayette over Appalachian State and won convincingly and this time around it will be the Mountaineers who gain the victory over highly regarded No. 14 Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers has had two week to pat themselves on the back after their 52-20 win over Arkansas State (1-5) who is winless in the Sun Belt. C. Carolina deserves it's high ranking as they are No. 3 in the nation in yards per game with 552.5 including 261.8 on the ground which ranks them 4th. But, the Mountaineers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs and will be ready in Boone for this one...Take APPALACHIAN STATE!

Arizona State at Utah 10:00 ET

Sun Devils over Utes- This is a really tough call as I like both clubs and just love the Sun Devils overall speed at the skilled positions. Utah has had to overcome emotional trauma as safety Aaron Lowe was shot to death at a post game party on September 26th and it was the second Utes football to die by a gunshot in nine months. Utah has had the best of the series between the two and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and has won 15 of their last 16 home games. Starting the season 0-4 ATS the Utes posted their first ATS win over USC last Saturday and will repeat again this week. Take UTAH!

Purdue at Iowa 3:30 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Hawkeyes- For anyone that saw the Hawkeyes defeat Penn State last week they must realize who badly Iowa was out-played. The Nittany Lions were dominating play and leading 17-3 when their starting quarterback Sean Clifford left the field with a games ending injury as they netting -19 yards on their next three possessions and in the fourth quarter finished the game with a an interception and twice a turned the ball over on downs. Clifford's replacement Ta'Quan Robinson was helpless going 7-of-20 for just 34 yards and two picks. Purdue is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs and 18-6-2 ATS in their last 25 games as road dogs. Take PURDUE!

Auburn at Arkansas 12:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- Oh, here we go with Bo Nix once again the Auburn QB has been the single most overrated QB in college football for three years as the Tigers are still waiting for him to show why he was the High school player of the year as a scholastic senior. But, Arkansas is coming off one of the more heartbreaking losses of the year for any NCAA club failing on a two-point attempt at Mississippi with no time left in the game. The Razorbacks left it all on the field as they had 676 yards of offense including 39 first down but failed when in meant the most. I stated the last time I had Auburn (in a loss)I said that two people should be put in front of a firing squad, one is Bo Nix for his inept play and the other is the guy who 'played on' him (that being ME). But, teams win games and the Tigers are in position to win this one. Take AUBURN!

Nebraska at Minnesota 12:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Cornhuskers- Nebraska will remain inconsistent as long as Adrian Martinez is their quarterback. The Cornhuskers who are 0-3 on the road and their four losses overall have come by a combined 21 points. Minnesota has had two weeks to savor their win over Purdue and are 8-3 ATS after a bye week. Minny lost running back Trey Potts for the season who had replaced All-Big Ten runner Mohamed Ibrahim who went down in their opener against Ohio State. But. It is Minnesota's defense that has shown their best stuff allowing just 308 ypg. Nebraska is 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings and is 0-3 on the road. Take MINNESOTA!

Florida at L.S.U. 12:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Gators- Oh how the mighty have fallen. Two years ago LSU was the 2019 National Champion behind Heisman winner Joe Burrow and now they about to go under .500 as a double-digit home underdog to Florida. The Tigers are off an embarrassing loss to Kentucky surrendering 330 yards rushing and have out-gained on the ground in their last three games against Auburn, Miss State and the Wildcats by 365 yards. The Gators are No. 3 in the nation rushing and average 274 ypg on the ground. So, illogically I'll take the Tigers... somehow it's LSU!

Texas A&M at Missouri 12:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Aggies- Having posted the Aggies last week as one of my top releases in their convincing win over Alabama I only wish this game started later in the day so we could load up on Missouri. Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher states that his club 'won't be pounding their chests' this week after beating the No. 1 team in the nation but I doubt he can prevent them from walking on air this week. Not only did they take down the No.1 team but they took down ALABAMA! Missouri who is 0-6 ATS this season hasn't 'covered' a game since last November and are actually 0-9 ATS in their last nine games overall but are averaging 467 yards a game compared to the Aggies 377 ypg. Also, the Tigers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings are are in a perfect spot to pull off an outright upset...take MISSOURI!

Michigan State at Indiana 12:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- These two have switched positions this season as compared to last. Indiana was 6-2 last year and showed so much promise behind quarterback Michael Penix, Jr but have yet to score touchdown in a pair of Big Ten games against Penn State and Iowa while Michigan State after a horror show last year are 6-0 this time around and looking stronger every week. So, I ask you with Penix sidelined with a shoulder injury why is this line so inviting. The Spartans have won 10 of the last 12 meetings but were upended 24-0 at home last season by the Spartans. Jack Tuttle was 1-1 as a starter at QB last season for the Hoosiers and will be an improvement over the inaccurate throwing Penix. Take INDIANA!

Clemson at Syracuse 7:00 ET

Tigers (-) over Orange- Clemson's non-cover streak is now at six games going 0-5 ATS this season and I'll throw in their final game last year when as 7-point favorites they were blowout by Ohio State 49-28 and it wasn't even that close. So, the Tigers who are dead last in passing efficiency in the ACC are a double-digit favorite on the road at Syracuse (5-1 ATS) where the Orange have won and covered their last three games as hosts. Although the dog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings (Tigers favored in all seven) the Tigers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 as road favorites and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 road games overall. 'We' will be bucking some positive trends on the Syracuse side as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven as underdogs and 5-1 ATS at home in their last six. Still, it's time for the tigers to roar! Tigers have the best scoring defense in the ACC allowing just 11.5 points a game. Take CLEMSON!

Navy at Memphis 7:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Midshipman- After a 3-0 start Memphis has dropped their last three while an undermanned Navy team has managed just one win in five starts. The Tigers three losses are by a combined 12 points but still, they average 499.3 yards per game including 323 in the air while the Middies average just 62.6 passing yards a game. As a matter of fact the Navy offense is offensive averaging just 282.6 yards ranking 126 in NCAA rankings. Navy scores just 17.6 a game (No. 121) while Memphis puts up 36 points a game ranking No. 24. Take MEMPHIS!

Appalachian State at UL Lafayette 7:30 ET

Ragin' Cajuns (+) over Mountaineers- Great matchup between a pair of 4-1 clubs from the underrated Sun Belt Conference. App. State of course has more notoriety and their loss came at Miami-Fl 25-23 a game they could have won when the Hurricanes had a healthy D'Eriq King. A questionable pass interference gave Miami field position to the win otherwise they could be undefeated. Lafayette's lone loss came in their opener at Texas 38-18 and we have seen how good the Longhorns are. The Mountaineers are 5-11 ATS in their last b165n games as favorites and the underdogs in 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings while the Cajuns are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as underdogs. Take UL LAFAYETTE!

Alabama at Texas A&M 8:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- how can anyone take the Aggies after what we have seen this season? They will need more than a '12th man' for this one and should get it fro the men in stripes. The fact that this game has been moved into prime time something the Tide is used to will spur Texas A&M to avoid embarrassment. Looking for any thing to support 'my' position here I note that Alabama is just 1-5 ATS against teams with winning home records and that A&M is 4-1 ATS in games following an ATS loss and last week they were looking ahead to this encounter. Take TEXAS A&M!

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

Tigers (+) over Wildcats- No. 16 Kentucky posted their biggest upset win in over a decade last week downing No. 10 Florida 20-13 and remained unbeaten (5-0, 3-0 SEC). Defense has been the key for the Wildcats allowing just 284.4 YPG while their offense still has issues as their passing game was 7-of-17 for just 87 yards. LSU was upset by Auburn and are having their own issues on offense as they average just 70.8 YPG rushing which used to be their strong point. But, with Georgia up next for the Wildcats they could get caught peeking. Take LSU!

Michigan at Nebraska 7:30 ET

Cornhuskers (+) over Wolverines- Both of these head coaches are under the gun this season as Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and Nebraska's Scott Frost have been disappointments are being pressured by alumni who are not happy with current state their programs. The Wolverines look much improved this season (5-0, 4-1 ATS) while then Cornhuskers (3-3, 4-1-1 ATS) have made positive strides although they have just split their first six games but are a positive 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Michigan meanwhile is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Big Ten matchups while the Huskers are 3-0-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take NEBRASKA!

Oregon State at Washington State 4:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Beavers- Does this seem right to you...it doesn't to me. Here is Oregon State 4-1 SU and ATS who have impressive victories over USC and Washington a small favorite against a Cougars team that is 2-3 with a loss against lowly Utah State. Upon further review we can see that the Beavers defeated the Huskies with only 48 yards passing while Washington State defeated California 21-6 allowing just 273 total yards on defense. The Cougars have won the last seven meetings and the 'beat goes on here.' Take WASHINGTON STATE!

Boise State at BYU 3:30 ET

Broncos (+) over Cougars- BYU is 5-0 and most likely will find themselves dueling with Cincinnati for the first Non-Big-5 FBS championship berth. The Cougars have won seven straight and 16 of 17 dating back to last season as they have yet to trail in a game this season. Boise State is struggling against the run allowing 191 YPG but are 7-1 ATS as road underdogs and the roads team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. BYU seems to play to the level of their competition as they are 1-5-1 ATS against teams with losing records and 1-3-1 ATS as home favorites. Take BOISE STATE!

Georgia at Auburn 3:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- My oh my, how can I even consider playing against the Bulldogs who have as much bite as any team in the country. With the No.1 defense allowing just 180.6 YPG and having posted two consecutive shutout wins they will be up against an Auburn offense that averages 478.4 YPG and a defense that allows only 303 YPG. Although the Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings the home team is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings and the Tigers are 10-4 ATS as home underdogs and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 home games overall. Take AUBURN!

Big-12 NCAAF Power Play

Oklahoma vs Texas 12:00 ET

Sooners (-) over Longhorns- Oh, how I love this rivalry having witnessed a matchup in Oklahoma year ago when I was in the US Army when I was stationed at Fort Sill, OK. (Yep I fought for 'our' side). But, no matter where this games is played (Dallas nowadays) the intensity is hard to vision as this is the BIGGEST scheduled game for both these schools. The Sooners are 5-0 but an unimpressive 1-4 ATS but have won 17 straight games over the past three seasons although they are 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings winning last year 53-45 in OT making it three straight against the Longhorns. Since replacing Tom Herman this will be Steve Sarkisian's first taste of playing Oklahoma in the rivalry's 117 with the 'Horns winning 62 and Oklahoma 49 with five ties but he won't like this meeting. Take the SOONERS!

Big Ten Bookie Buster

Maryland at Ohio State 12:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- Man were the Terrapins outclassed last week by Iowa (51-14) and now they travel to Columbus to battle Ohio State who had their best game of the season at Rutgers winning 52-13. The scores and outcomes of last weeks games will force these two clubs to come back to the center and it will be much closer than most expect. Maryland is 14-4 ATS after a double-digit home loss and the Buckeyes are 3-9 ATS after passing for more than 280 yards in their previous games. Take MARYLAND!

Big Ten Vegas Hotline winner

Michigan State at Rutgers 12:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Spartans- After a disappointing season last year Michigan State is 5-0 and 3-0-2 ATS and spirits are high in Lansing. But, looking close at the competition that they have played we can note that they have yet to win against a team with a winning record and in the past two weeks with wins over Nebraska and Western Kentucky they were out gained by 186 yards and 41 yards with the Hilltoppers matting 560 yards against them. Rutgers who is much improved under Greg Schiano was waylay-ed by Ohio State last week and will bounce back with a strong home performance here. Note that the Spartans are 5-15-1 in their last 21 conference game. Take RUTGERS!

Stanford at Arizona State 10:30 ET

Sun Devils (-) over Cardinal- After defeating No. 3 Oregon last week 31-24 in overtime a huge PAC-12 upset the oddsmakers must believe that Stanford left in all on the field last week as they are almost two touchdown underdogs at Arizona State. The Sun Devils are looking for the third straight conference win and are averaging 444 YPG while holding opponents to 289 YPG and just 17.4 PPG while Stanford allows 406 yards and 26.8 points. This price is way out of whack as it appears the 'Bookies' are making it easy to take Stanford as they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games and the Sun Devils are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites. Lay it with ARIZONA STATE!

Arizona State at UCLA 10:30 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Bruins- These 3-1 PAC-12 clubs match-up nicely on offense with Arizona State gaining 438 YPG and UCLA 434 YPG. On defense it's a different story where the Bruins surrender 394.3 YPG and the Sun Devils just 247.5 YPG raking No. 6 in the nation almost a 150 yard difference. Granted the Bruins have played a slightly harder schedule but not so much as the stats show. Although ASU is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs and UCLA is just 2-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Take ARIZONA STATE!

Boston College at Clemson 7:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Eagles- So in this one we have a 4-0 club in Boston College more than a 2-TD underdog to a 2-2 team that is vastly overrated and has troubles scoring points (21.8). The Eagles are scoring 41.3 PPG although their competition is suspect having built stats against the likes of Colgate, Temple and Massachusetts. For Clemson (0-4 ATS) the competition has been much stiffer losing the the nation's best defense versus Georgia and upstart N.C. State. Add that BC is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as road underdogs and that the Tigers are just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings this line seems out of whack. But, like I've said so many time the 'bookmaker' goats you into thinking that you are getting value. Lay it with CLEMSON!

Oregon at Stanford 3:30 ET

Cardinal (+) over Ducks- To my surprise this week I see that Oregon is the No. 3 ranked team in the country as the Ducks have reeled off four straight wins but maybe it is because they are just 1-3 ATS that they snuck up on the rankings or maybe it is because or the most part the PAC-12 is not highly regarded. Stanford (2-2) has been inconsistent losing to UCLA last week and Kansas State in their opener while defeating USC in LA and lowly Vanderbilt on the road. The Ducks have 13 takeaways and lead the nation including five interceptions last week against Arizona. I must note that the Ducks are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 7-16-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points in their previous game. The Cardinal are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six PAC-12 games and 5-2-1 ATS overall in their last eight. Take STANFORD!

Syracuse at Florida State 3:30 ET

Seminoles (-) over Orange- Here it is, here's the Seminoles first win of the year after an 0-4 start with their only 'cover' in their opener against Notre Dame. Florida State's biggest problems comes from 11 turnovers. Syracuse is off home games against Albany and Liberty and will find the competition a bit stiffer here although most can't see it as FSU is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But the home team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings and the Orange people are 1-6 ATS after a SU win. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Ohio State at Rutgers 3:30 ET

Buckeyes (-) over Scarlet Knights- Yes we can see great improvement with Rutgers 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS under coach Greg Schiano's leadership while Ohio State seems to have taken a step backwards. The Buckeyes struggled in their first two outings getting by Minnesota and losing to Oregon at home. But, in their last two games against lesser competition they garnered 1,130 yards against Tulsa and Akron. OSU is 2nd in the nation averaging 559.3 YPG and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Scarlet Knights. Don't be surprised with a blowout here. Take OHIO STATE!

NCAAF Vegas Hotline

Arkansas at Georgia 12:00 ET

Bulldogs (-) over Razorbacks- Are they (bookmakers) serious...the No. 2 Bulldogs are favored by nearly three touchdowns over No. 8 Arkansas who is 4-0 and have dismantled Texas 40-21 and Texas A&M 20-10 and are 4-0 ATS also with a romps over Rice and Georgia Southern. The Bulldogs have outscored opponents 168-23 and average 454.5 yards per game while the Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS as road dogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But, Georgia's defense is ranked No. 1 allowing just 185.3 YPG while QB J.T Daniels is 54-71 passing (76.1%) in three of the Bulldogs three wins. Too much firepower and defense for the Hogs to handle. Take GEORGIA!

NCAAF Inner Circle Winner

Texas at Texas Christian 12:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- TCU has played all three of their games at home and have yet to 'cover' the spread while 3-1 Texas has posted a pair of conference wins defeating Texas Tech 70-35 and Rice 58-0. The Longhorns have totaled 1,259 yards in their last two wins and are ranked No. 3 in scoring averaging 46.8 PPG and have not punted in the last two games. Although Texas is 7-2 SU in the last nine meetings they are just 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Horned Frogs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and coach Gary Patterson will have his 'Horney Toads' ready. Take T.C.U.!

Iowa at Maryland 8:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Hawkeyes- The best quarterback in the Tagovailoa family will be on display tonight as Tau II takes the field as the Big Tens leading passer with 1,340 yards and a 75.5 completion percentage. No. 5 Iowa has caught most of the conference attention as they have the No.3 best scoring defense in the country allowing just 11 PPG and lead the Big Ten with six interceptions. So, the strengths of both clubs will clash here and and Taulia will get the best of it as he has 10 TD passes and only one INT. The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and the Hawkeyes play great in September but when conference play starts in October they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven. Take MARYLAND!

Virginia at Miami-FL 7:30 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Hurricanes- These two 2-2 clubs have been a major disappointment on the season as more was expected from both of them. Miami's win came at home against App St and Central Connecticut (yes that Central CT) and their losses came against bonafide competition as they were blown out by Alabama and Michigan State and badly outclassed in both losses. Virginia opened with a pair of wins against lesser competition and fell badly as well against North Carolina and Wake Forest. The Cavaliers' Brennan Armstrong has passed for over 400 yards in three straight games leading the nation in passing with 430.5 YPG while the Hurricanes QB D'Eriq King has been a major disappointment and us questionable because of an injured throwing shoulder which would affect his already average arm. Take VIRGINIA!

West Virginia at Oklahoma 7:30 ET

Sooners (–) over Mountaineers- My oh my, the beat goes on with the Mountaineers. Play on them at home as favorites and against them on the road as underdogs as they are 5-11 ATS as road dogs. Oklahoma is off a competitive win over Nebraska and has won all eight meetings since they joined the Big-12 as West Virginia is 0-5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The Sooners are 6-1 ATS in their last seven conference games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as favorites. Take OKLAHOMA!

Nebraska at Michigan State 7:00 ET

Cornhuskers (+) over Spartans- I saw the Spartans up front and personal last week at Miami in their 38-17 beatdown of the Hurricanes. Yes that seem impressive and they played a swell game but the Canes just can't compete against better competition. Nebraska is led at quarterback by fifth year senior Adrian Martinez who for the most part has been a disappointment for the Cornhuskers but is coming off a maturing game against the Sooners going 19-25 for 289 yards. Huskers are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss and 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games on grass and are 9-4-1 ATS as road underdogs. Spartans are 5-15n ATS in last 20 conference games and 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 games as hosts. Add that MSU is 1-101- ATS in last 12 as home favorites and Huskers are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take NEBRASKA!

Louisville at Florida State 3:30 ET

Seminoles (+) over Cardinals- After losing to FCS Jacksonville State the downtrodden Seminoles were pasted 35-14 by an underrated Wake Forest team that dropped them to 0-3. The last time Florida State was 0-3 was 1975 in Bobby Bowden's first year as coach and they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Louisville is off a great 42-35 win over Central Florida but are just 1-4 ATS after an ATS win. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and that's about the best I can say about the Seminoles except that they get the money here. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Texas A&M vs Arkansas 3:00 ET

Aggies (-) over Razorbacks- Arkansas is running hog wild averaging 282 yards on the ground and 492 yards in total offense from scrimmage as they host the Aggies in Arlington. Both clubs are 3-0 but Texas A&M has been here before while this is new territory for the Razorbacks. The Aggie defense is No. 9 in the nation allowing just 239 yards a game and ranked No1 against the pass surrendering just 77.3 YPG. Hogs just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs at neural sites and 1-8 ATS in games after a win by more than 20 points. Take TEXAS A&M!

Clemson at N.C State 3:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- This is one of those 'don't make sense' lines on Saturday. Both these clubs are 2-1 with N.C State 2-0 at home outscoring opponents 90-7 and averaging 456 yards a game on offense for the season. Clemson meanwhile has struggled offensively averaging just 322 yards a game and 22 points and are on the road for the first time this year and they are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games as favorites. But, the Tigers have won 15 of the last 16 meetings including a 55-10 win in their last meetings and out-scoring the Wolfpack 96-17 in the last two meets. Wolves are just 4-10 ATS in last 14 games against teams with winning records. Take CLEMSON!

Notre Dame vs Wisconsin 12;00 ET

Badgers (-) over Fighting Irish- Don't get sucked into the Irish side here as they once again are overrated while Wisconsin as usual is not that highly regarded. The storyline here will be the former Badger quarterback Jack Coan who who now starts for Notre Dame after he left the program after he was beaten out by current Whisky QB Graham Mertz. The line in this contest at Soldier Field seems a bit high and it is because he Fighting Irish have had to struggle to defeat Toledo and Purdue after surviving a scare at Florida State. Don't be deterred...take WISCONSIN!

Wake Forest at Virginia 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Demon Deacons- Wake Forest is off to a quick start at 3-0 and 1-0 in the ACC while Virginia who was 2-0 is off a dreadful loss to North Carolina where they surrendered 699 yards on defense to North Carolina losing 59-39. The Cavaliers quarterback Brennan Armstrong threw for a school record 554 yards passing in that game and directs the No. 4 rankled offense averaging 558 YPG who are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 home games. Take VIRGINIA!

Arizona State at BYU 10:15 ET

Sun Devils (-) over Cougars- BYU is 2-0 having defeated a pair of Pac-12 clubs in taking down Arizona and Utah. I can't tell you how big the Cougars (+7) win over Utah is in the Holy War after having lost to the Utes nine straight times. So, at 2-0 BYU is now a home dog to another Pac-12 team and that is telling as they are emotionally drained and have been on cloud-9 all week. The Cougars will return to earth as a home dog as ASU is 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and 3-1-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take SUN DEVILS!

Auburn at Penn State 7:30 ET

Nittany Lions (-) over Tigers- This should be a good one as these 2-0 clubs from two major conferences face off as the Big Ten's Penn State will host the SEC's Auburn. The Tigers opened the season with a pair of wins by scoring 60 and 62 points against FCS schools Akron and Alabama State averaging 576 yards on offense and allowing just 194 ypg. Penn State defeated a pair of FBS schools opening with a win at Wisconsin and a win over Ball State. Since starting last season 0-5 both SU and ATS the Lions are 6-0 both SU and ATS and are a strong favorite here as they have played some real competition as opposed to Auburn who built their stats against the weakest of opponents. Taker PENN STATE!

Virginia at North Carolina 7:00 ET

Tar Heels (-) over Cavaliers- The Tar Heels have a long way to go to rebuild their image after their loss at Virginia Tech. So many believed in them and predicted a possible FBS Bowl bid, but it's not to be! Last season when North Carolina was undefeated they went to Charlottesville and were upset 44-31 as an 8-point favorites and are now 0-4 SU and ATS in the last four meetings. Virginia is 2-0 SU and ATS this year defeating W&M as 30-point favorites and Illinois as 10.5-point favorites and now they are heavy underdogs on the road where they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. Heels are 6-2 ATS as home favorites in their last eight games as hosts. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

Northwestern at Duke 4:00 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Wildcats- I don't like what I've seen out of Northwestern it's going to be a long season for the Wildcats. On offense they ranked 91st averaging only 338 YPG and that's having played Indiana State as a 28.5-point favorite winning 24-6 while accumulating just 275 yards on offense. For Duke who is off a miserable year filled with turnovers they are 1-1 but average 507 yards a game have defeated Northwestern the last two meetings as dogs winning both outright. The line here is very suspect and I expect the blue devils to wins easily. Take DUKE!

Alabama at Florida 3:30 ET

Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Can anyone play with Alabama? I'm serious about this, they look to be the most physical team (Maybe Georgia) that I've seen this season. Florida always has talent at the skilled positions and speed to boot. The Tide lost two linebackers last week and that might give the Gators an opening they hadn't thought of prior to their injuries. Florida coach Dan Mullen is 0-10 lifetime against Nick Saban coached teams but got the money last season in a 52-46 loss to the Tide. This is Alabama's first trip to Gainesville since 2011 and they are 1-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and the gators are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after an ATS loss. Take FLORIDA!

Nevada at Kansas State 2:05 ET

Wolf Pack over Wildcats- A pair of the nation's better defenses face off at Bill Snyder Stadium as 2-0 Kansas State hosts 2-0 Nevada. The Wildcats allow just 254.5 yards per game ranking them in the Top-20 while the Wolf Pack allows just 165 yards per game ranking No. 7 in the nation. On offense Kansas State has a decided advantage averaging 363 yards while Nevada can barely eek out 186.5 YPG. So why is the 2-0 home team who comes from a superior program and underdog here. Cats will be without QB Skylar Thompson and that means trouble. Also KSU opens conference play next week against OK. St. and might not be truly focused. Take NEVADA!

Cincinnati at Indiana 12:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Bearcats- Come-on you've got to be kidding me. Cincinnati is a power house that is built around defense Indiana is an imposter built around an overrated quarterback that can't throw the ball with any accuracy. The Hoosiers quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. opened the season with three interceptions against Iowa but bounced back going 11-of-16 and two mTD's passing and one rushing. Cincinnati ranked in the top-10 is considered a dark horse for the FBS playoffs and crushed Murray State 42-7 last time out after pounding Miami-Ohio 49-14. With this line being so cheap as it is I expect the Hoosiers the surprise here. The Bearcats are 2-5 ATS in their last seven as road favorites and Indy is 5-1 ATAS in their last six games as underdogs and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 overall. Take INDIANA!

Maryland at Illinois 9:00 ET

Fighting Illini (+) over Terrapins- Maryland has already posted a pair of wins and are averaging 535 ypg with both victories coming at home. They defeated West Virginia (a horrid road team) in their opener 30-24 as a 2.5-point underdog and then crush Howard 62-0 as a 47-point favorite. Illinois meanwhile opened the Bret Bielema era with an upset win over Nebraska and have dropped a pair of games since losing to UTSA and getting blown out by Virginia 42-14 last week. Illinois starting QB Brandon Peters will return from injury in this contest and can be the difference as Maryland takes to the road for the first time. Take ILLINOIS!

Washington at Michigan 7:30

Huskies (+) mover Wolverines- Many are calling it the 'worst loss in school history' as the Huskies dropped their opener 13-7 to FCS Montana. Could the then ranked No. 20 Washington have been looking ahead to this Big Ten matchup...we shall see. Michigan posted a 47-14 win over Western Michigan but lost their start wide receiver and kick returner to season ending injuries. Jim Harbaugh is under the gun to produce this season but has struggled against the Pac-12 going 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Huskies 4-1 ATS after SU bounce back here. Take WASHINGTON!

Money Game

N.C State at Mississippi State 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Wolfpack- When NC State was installed as an 18-point favorite in their opener against South Florida I noted that either the Wolfpack are really good or the Bulls are bad. Well, the Bulls are worse than bad as the Pack shuts out USF 45-0. Mississippi State meanwhile was slipping by Louisiana Tech 35-34 with a 20-point fourth quarter come-from-behind win (largest comeback win in school history). NC State is taking to the SEC road where them and the ACC haven't fared so well as the Wolfpack are 1-8 on SEC road not have won since 1991 at South Carolina. Take the BULLDOGS!

High Roller

Texas at Arkansas 7:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Longhorns- There was a time when there was a Southwest Conference this contest would draw a lot of attention. But, both these schools have had a rough time of late although they both are on the upswing right now. This will be the 79 meetings but the first time since 2014 and just the sixth time in the last 30 years and they had met 60 straight years. Texas will be going once again with redshirt freshman QB Hudson Card who passed for 224 against Louisiana while the Razorback rushed for 245 yards against Rice winning 38-17 after trailing 17-7. Hogs run while here. Take ARKANSAS!

Power Play

Iowa at Iowa State 4:30 ET

Cyclones (-) over Hawkeyes- What has drawn my attention to this matchup is the way Iowa dominated Indiana last week (I totally misread that game) and that the Cyclones after a weak showing against BCS Northern Iowa are such a strong favorite. The Hawkeyes have won the last five meetings and now after am impressive 34-6 Big Ten they go on the road where they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as road underdogs. They has been heavy action and the Book maker will need the Cyclones and so will I. Take IOWA STATE!

Vegas Hotline

Rutgers at Syracuse 2:00 ET

Orange (+) over Scarlet Knights- Greg Schiano is back and so is Rutgers (1-0) as they opened the season with a 61-14 rout if Temple. The Scarlet Knights were 13-47 between coaching stints for Schiano while Syracuse had their worst season in school history going 1-10 losing their last five home games. But, the Orange opened with a win 29-9 at Ohio averaging 7-yards a rushing attempt while not committing a turnover. Going on past performances this line is way low and makes me believe that Syracuse is better than most think and are greatly improved. Take SYRACUSE!

Louisville at Mississippi 8:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Rebels- There are plenty of storylines to follow from head coaches to player accomplishments on both sides of the ball. Mississippi's head coach Lane Kiffin enters his second season at Mississippi and he had the top offense in the SEC last season. Meanwhile Louisville's defense was ranked fourth in the ACC last year and have seven defensive starters returning. The Cardinals don't have no longer has the likes of Lamar Jackson as they have turned into a defensive club that was stingy giving up points but they do have the return of quarterback Malik Cunningham. Mississippi had the SEC's worst defense with a low of 16 sacks but, the Rebels led the SEC in rushing with and that's why the total is at 75.5. Take LOUISVILLE!

Notre Dame at Florida State 7:30

Seminoles (+) over Fighting Irish- Notre Dame is once again ranked in the Top-10 although many doubt their ability to truly contend with the 'elites' in college football. The Fighting Irish have an experienced quarterback in Jack Coan who was beat out at Wisconsin by Graham Mertz after an early season injury. If any of you saw Mertz for the Badgers Saturday I have to wonder if this guy Mertz can win the job from Coan that Jack has a long way to go. Florida State was 3-6 last season with just two wins over FBS schools and are looking for a fresh start in coach Mike Norvell's second season. Take FLORIDA STATE!

SEC/ACC Power Play

Georgia at Clemson 7:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Bulldogs- Can anyone ever live up the billing and the headliner here is not perennial national contender Clemson it's the national perennial short-comers...Georgia. When I first saw this match-up I thought that the SEC Bulldogs plus the points would be a good take but I wasn't alone and it seems both 'pros' and public are in lock step. That has me moving toward Clemson who may have lost Trevor Lawrence but will just reload this season. JT Daniels the transfer from USC starts for Georgia and maybe we will see why he left. Take CLEMSON!

Big Ten Money Game winner

Indiana at Iowa 3:30 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Hawkeyes- When the headlines for your football team is that you have a leading candidate is a center no matter how good he is I think what else you got. Indiana not know to be a football powerhouse won six games last season the most Big Ten wins they have had since 1987. The Hoosiers are led by quarterback Michael Penix Jr., and they are 10-2 when he starts as he returns from a torn ACL. Indiana returns eight starters both on offense and defense and should win this one outright. Take INDIANA!

A-Play Megabucks

Alabama vs. Miami-FL 3:30 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Crimson Tide- Okay here's the gig...Alabama will be starting a Million-dollar quarterback that has yet to throw a pass at the NCAA level. The formidable Crimson Tide lost six offensive players in the first round and now matter what kind of system you have that is a lot of talent to replace. Miami who is 'Up and Coming' will have D'Eriq King back leading the attack and the 6th year senior has recovered from a torn ACL. Alabama is Big and Bad but that doesn't mean they would face some competition that stands up to them.Take MIAMI!

North Carolina at Virginia Tech 6:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina has received plenty of 'hype' this year and for good reason as they return a prolific offense that put up 56 points against Virginia Tech last season. The Tar Heels with have three year starting quarterback Sam Howell leading the charge but they have to replace a pair of stellar running backs. The Hokies at 5-6 last season ending a 27-year bowl streak but the home team have won the past four meetings and VT is 6-3 at home in the series. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Ohio State at Minnesota 8:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Buckeyes- I'm willing to take my possible lumps if I have to, but I can in no-way pass on the Golden Gophers here. To start with even after suffering a 52-24 beating by Alabama 'The Ohio State' will always be overrated especially starting the season and are always a popular public choice. Minnesota is in a great spot with many returning starters including a fourth year senior at quarterback and the Big Ten Running Back of the Year last season. Take the GOLDEN GOPHERS!

Nebraska at Illinois 1:00 ET

Fighting Illini (+) over Cornhuskers- So here comes Nebraska favored by a touchdown or less after four straight losing seasons under Scott Frost. The Cornhuskers were 3-5 in 2020 while Illinois was 2-6 but there have been changes in Champaign as former Big Ten coach at Wisconsin Brett Bielema and more recently at Arkansas has 17 returning seniors for the Illini. I believe the 'fresh' blood and attitude will aid Illinois but the Cornhuskers have a 4-year starter at quarterback as Scott Frost panics over his job. Take NEBRASKA!
