LA TECH is 8-1 ATS L/9 versus poor rushing defenses - allowing >=200 rushing yards/game with the average victory coming by  24.3 ppg, which is where I believe the chalk line should be.

Kentucky is not a bad a team as many pundits might think, and Alabama despite of being a power house national championship contender , will usually do just enough to get wins, vs lower tier programs especially at home.

Alabama is 0-10 ATS L/10 in home games vs. poor passing defenses - allowing 250 or more passing yards/game like Kentucky.

Michigan (4-0, 1-0) offense has looked explosive this season, but against  a Wisconsin football program that ranks seventh nationally in scoring defense (11.8 points per game) and 12th in total defense (277.0 yards per game), their flow will be tested.The Badgers are coming  off a over powering 30-6 road victory over Michigan State -- a contest in which they forced four turnovers and held the Spartans to 75 rushing yards.Wisconsin's overall performance this season made it clear to Harbaugh that the showdown is going to be a major challenge for his squad, and I am betting he's on the money here. A key vulnerability is also Michigan D, which  in their only test vs a real offense ( Colorado) they allowed 28 points. Wisconsin is 7-1 ATS L/8 in this series.

It must be noted that the Huskies ruined the Cougars' bid for an unbeaten season last year, winning 20-17 in Hartford in late November. The Cougars looked asleep at the proverbial wheel but will now be wide awake for this tilt. 
In that game UH quarterback Greg Ward Jr. saw just a few snaps as he was hobbled with an ankle injury and key defensive star linebacker Elandon Roberts was ejected early due to a targeting call.
So as yu can see their is some added motivation for this one for coach Tom Herman and company.

UCLA had a extremely strong game vs BYUs struggling offense last time out but it must be noted that , UCLA’s run defense in the recent past was one of the weakest aspects of their defense. In their last five games dating back to last season, the Bruins had allowed at least 175 yards rushing in all of them. Now against Stanford's methodical attack, Im betting will see their problems resurface. With the Bruins senior defensive end a key catalyst last week looking banged up and limping , I expect UCLA will not be as explosive off the line, and MCaffery and company to once again show their superiority in PAC12 play. It must also be noted that the 2012 Pac-12 Championship Game was the closest UCLA has gotten to beating Stanford in their last eight meetings  (24-27), but in the 7 straight reg season losses the Bruins  have lost by an average   36.1 -16.4 score. Look for history to repeat itself this Saturday.

The Gators have had great success against the Vols in ESPNGameDay games. Florida and Tennessee have played seven times with GameDay in town, with the Gators recording a 6-1 mark in those games — despite just one of those appearances coming during Florida’s current 11-game winning streak against the Vols. I have not been impressed by either side this season, and maybe especially by the Vols as the media consistently year after year expects big things from them. This in my opinion is just media bs, and delussional. 

Florida also has a perfect 4-0 record against Tennessee in Knoxville when GameDay is in town, winning the last two such meetings — including one in 2012 — by 17 points. Getting this many points is golden in my humble opinion.

USC is one of the most talented teams in all of college football despite of starting their season 1-2 . Their two losses came to Alabama and Stanford , teams that are ranked the top ten the nation and that could easily be playing for a national championship this season. Replacing replacing Max Browne with redshirt freshman Sam Darnold for Friday night's game at No. 24 Utah to will also add a new look to an offense that needs to move the chains more regularly and more than capable of doing so. Note: In 3 games, in mostly mop up duty, Darnold is 14 of 22 for 136 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception.
Meanwhile, Utah, owns a inconsistent offense and an aggressive defense. The difference maker tonight comes via the Trojans superior athletes . USC's defense, led by Jackson and linebacker Cameron Smith, has much more talent than any other opponent Utah has seen so far this year.

Oklahoma (1-1) was No.3 in the preseason polls before being upset by Houston in its opener. They showed their vulnerabilites as the Cougars were superbly effective against the Sooners, particularly on defense where they were constantly pressuring Baker Mayfield. Meanwhile, Ohio State Urban Meyer told reporters on Monday that he's called his former offensive coordinator Herman to get thoughts on what the Cougars were doing with personnel on the defensive side of the ball so he can work on scheming for Oklahoma.

Arkansas State hit the wall against Auburn and it ended with a ugly 51-14 rout of the Red Wolves.  I expect Utah State to get up early here at home as they let out steam after last weeks debacle, and Arkansas State wont be able to hold them of the board. I expect at some point Arkansas State has no choice but to let loose and air it out, which will produce what will be a fairly high scoring affair that eclipses this weak number.

These Thursday games on short rest have a tendency of wreaking havoc on the bodies of these young men, and the coaching staffs know this, so a sometimes more conservative game plan is set in motion.
