Georgia Southern under interim head coach Kevin Whitley have looked viable.  The Eagles have won all 7 previous meetings in this series  by an average score of 35.9-11.3  (24.6 ppg diff  average) and Im betting on a rinse and repeat situation here this Thursday night and a definite cover according to my projections. 

S ALABAMA is 15-32 ATS after playing 2 straight conference games 

CFB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (S ALABAMA) - after a road game where both teams score 31 points or more, in October games are 11-41 ATS L/10 seasons for a go against 79% conversion rate for bettors.

Tulsa (1-4, 0-1) was blasted  45-10 at home by Houston and now shell shocked will go against an explosive Memphis offense again this week. 

After 3 straight wins Memphis has lost 2 straight . Note: Memphis is 18-8 ATS away versus sub .500 conference opposition  including 9-1 ATS when coming off a SUATS loss. Meanwhile, Philip Montgomery is 1-14 ATS as a home favorite of fewer than 6 points when coming off a defeat and 0-9 ATS in the last nine. In addition,

Utahs new QB Cam Rising has completed 34 of 57 passes for 319 yards this season, with 4 TDs  and has yet to be intercepted and deserves respect. Utah looked good in a win vs Washington State last week and  enter this game with a  9-1 ATS mark off a win against a conference rival over the last 3 seasons. Meanwhile, USC despite of a boatload of 4 star prospects are enigmas at this point with inconsistent efforts and have unable to string consecutive wins on the board. 

UTAH is 45-23 ATS L/48 as a road underdogs. 

USC has failed to cover 13 of 20 as PAC 12 home favs and have failed in that role 4 of their L/5 trips to gridiron as hosts.

The KentuckyWildcats enter this game against LSU  off their first home victory over Florida since 1986 and are now in a classic emotional letdown situation. Note: Kentucky football program is 13-33 SU S in SEC games after a victory as an  SU as an underdog.With Ed Orgeron’s love affair fading with LSU faithful, you can bet he will be primed to get a win here today and will make sure his young men leave everything on the field. LSU is 6-0 ATS  in road games versus excellent offensive teams - averaging 6.25  or more yards/play over the last 3 seasons. LSU is 10-1 ATS after playing a game at home over the last 3 seasons. Orgeron is 18-2 ATS  vs. good passing teams averaging 8 or more passing yards/att. as the coach of LSU.

Western Kentucky has a strong passing attack but today they go against a UTSA D that  ranks 6th in the conference in pass defense and 1st in total defense. On the flip-side the Hilltoppers rank 12th  in the Sunbelt in total defense while the Roadrunners rank 4th in total offense. In my humble opinion we have value with the underdog based on obvious statistical anomalies.

UTSA is 12-3 ATS L/15 as an underdog  , including 6-1 SUATS as a dog of 7 or fewer or points.

Two strong undefeated teams go head to head here today in a huge Big 10 matchup. From the beginning of the season, I took out futures tickets on the Nittany Lions and Im not about to keep backing them in certain spots , especially as underdogs. Penn State also has revenge on board for a loss to Iowa last season. Note: Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz is 2-7 ATS as a favorite in tilts when both teams are undefeated and the opponent is seeking revenge.

Boise State has been very competitive this season  and shown flashes of brilliance and according to my projections have the ability to hand with BYU here this afternoon. Im not basing this recommended wager on this stat but its interesting to note, that Boise State is a perfect 21-0 since 1999 in their 6th game of the season.  Also they are 21-1 SU after a loss a favorite as was the case last week vs under rated Nevada.  BYU is 10-23 ATS  in home games vs. good passing teams averaging 250 or more passing yards/game. BYU is 10-23 ATS  in home games after a game with a turnover margin of +2 or better.

Colorado State is off a bye week after playing a power 5 team Iowa very tough, and are expecting a big crowd this week. However, an emotional letdown situation should be expected here, against a Spartans side that is under rated according to my power rankings  and off a win last week. 

SAN JOSE ST is 30-13 ATS  in road games after gaining 6.25 or more yards/play in their previous game. SAN JOSE ST is 11-3 ATS  after a game where they committed 1 or less turnovers over the last 3 seasons. Brennan is 19-10 ATS against conference opponents as the coach of SAN JOSE ST.

 Auburn is being over rated here vs a Georgia side that despite of big numbers .  The Tigers offense  is well balanced (1,191 rushing and 1,199 passing) and the Tigers D is staunch and capable of slowing Georgias explosive attack. Note:the Tigers’ 22-6 SU and 20-8 ATS L/28 as hosts against undefeated opposition, including 8-1 ATS  as underdogs.

The Louisville pass defense is  the worst in the ACC. Thats not a good omen vs Virginia's QB Brennan Armstrong and the passing game are bombing away with close to 2,000 yards in the first five games of the season. Overall the Cardinal D is just downright bad and the worst in the ACC, and from matchup perspective an unfavorable situation. Louisville will battle back with some fireworks of their own, but it's their downtrodden D, that gives Virginia the edge. This game is very important to Virginia and Im betting they leave everything on field here.

Last week, Rutgers (3-2, 0-2) was hammered by a  52-13 count to Ohio State while Michigan State (5-0, 2-0 ) took out a lower tier  Sun Belt opponent in Western Kentucky by a 38-27 count. The Scarlet Knight looked asleep at the wheel last week, but Im betting they will be wide awake here and ready for redemption vs a side that might be just a bit over rated and vulnerable road favs. Note: The Spartans have been out-gained in their last two games while giving uo 1,000 yards.RUTGERS is 6-0 ATS  after playing a game at home over the last 2 seasons.

Huge letdown this week for Cincinnati after last weeks big time win vs Notre Dame by a 24-13 count easily covering the spread. Im expecting the Bearcats to start slowly here and for the Owls  who are uptrending in my power rankings to grab the cash as substantial underdogs. 

Temple has owned this series of late from a ATS perspective cashing 5 straight meetings and , and on a  a 5-0 ATS run as dogs of 20 or more points. 

Advantage Temple Take the points 

Houston will be a formidable opponent for Tulane , but after playing tough non-conference tilts  with games against UAB, Ole Miss and Oklahoma their more than capable of hanging tough here tonight. HC  Willie Fritz is 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS at home in his career on Thursdays .

BC enters this game being disrespected despite of a  4-0 record  as it prepares to play its ACC opener. vs a Clemson side that no longer sends shivers down the spines of their opponents.   Clemson's 121st-ranked offense will find the sledding tough against  BC's 20th-ranked defense and thus taking points here is an easy decision.

Clemson is last in the ACC in Yards Per Game and Points Per Game. Advantage BC to cover.

Stanford is coming off a loss, to UCLA that saw a 4 point difference in the fourth quarter before the Bruins scored late to pull away. The Cardinal should not be underestimated  here vs  4-0 Oregon and have shown flashes of brilliance this season, as was the case vs the USC Trojans earlier this season and are my choice getting points in this spot play. 

Shaw is 31-19 ATS  after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread as the coach of STANFORD.

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin will be highly motivated to pull the upset this afternoon over former boss Nick Saban and Im betting he will get us at least the cover. He knows big Nicks ways. Im expecting future NFL QB Nick Coral  and company to do more than enough damage vs Sabans top tier D. 

Kiffin is 5-1 ATS L/6 as a DD conference dog. Ole Miss is 4-0 ATS L/4 on the road in SEC play as 14 or more point underdogs.

Nevada is off a bye week after losing to KState. Now rejuvenated and hungry Im betting on a big effort here this week vs Boise state side that has lost the stats battles in 3 of 4 games this season. The Wolfpack Rank No. 6 overall in the nation in Returning Production  and have  all 22 returning starters from last season and deserve respect here as underdogs vs a inconsistent Cowboys team that is not as dominant of Blue Carpet as the once were. 

Nevada is 6-1 ATS L/7 after a bye. Nevada is 9-1 ATS in games when coming off a SU favorite loss, including 7-0 ATS vs a side like Boise coming off a victory.

The Notre Dame Fighting  Irish have won 18 straight regular season tilts and 26 consecutive home games and  have the deeper lineup with more talent than the Bearcats. After watching the Irish against Wisconsin last weeks it's obvious their starting to jell now and are going into this game in peak condition. Hey Cincinnati is a fine team and deserve respect, but as as favorites not so much especially here on the road. It's one thing to roll up on a inconsistent Indiana side, with a negligible history and it's another thing to stroll into Notre Dame and garner a win vs the Irish. While anything is possible, taking points here is the smart money play. 

NOTRE DAME is 8-1 ATS  vs. good offensive teams - scoring 31 or more points/game over the last 3 seasons. Kelly is 10-1 ATS  after a game with a turnover margin of +4 or better in all games he has coached since 1992. Kelly is 12-2 ATS  after gaining 125 or less rushing yards in 2 straight games in all games he has coached since 1992.

Minnesota was extremely impressive in  a  30-0 road shutout of Colorado a couple of weeks ago and than in a huge emotional letdown spot fell asleep at the proverbial wheel vs non conference opponents Bowling Green and lost a 14-10 sleeper.

MINNESOTA is 6-0 ATS vs. poor punt return teams, less than 7.5 yards per return over the last 3 seasons. MINNESOTA is 13-3 ATS in road games vs. dominant ball control teams, 32+ minutes TOP, 21+ FD's per game. MINNESOTA is 10-1 ATS after allowing 40 or less rushing yards last game.

Im betting Utah State got caught looking ahead to this tilt vs BYU last week when they suffered a home loss vs Boise State after winning their first 3 games vs Washington State, N.Dakota and Air Force. I know tonight opponent BYU has proven themselves to be a very strong side to this point in the season, but according to my own projections this line is over done, and the home underdog has value . It must be noted that BYU has failed to cover 10 of their L/12 as favorites, and USU head coach Blake Anderson is 5-0 SU and 4-0 ATS at home in his career when coming off a home defeat which was the case last time out.

These 4-0 teams go head to head here this Friday night in game that Im betting will see the underdog cash and possibly spring the SU upset. Iowa has got to this point with a staunch defense (11 ppg), but their offense is needless to say less than championship caliber scoring just 27 ppg on average which puts them at a disadvantage on the road vs a a side that has also shown a strong D (14.3 ppg), but has also shown an explosive offense (37.3 ppg) while out-gaining opponents my 200+ ypg.

Boston College has looked strong to this point in the season as they are off to a  3-0 start , outscoring their opposition by a  124-31 count. Today vs what has been an explosive Eagles offense, Im betting Missouris crap defense that allows a ugly 455.7 YPG will get run over in a big way. I know the tigers can really pile point on but, BC has shown a strong D, allowing just 256 ypg and is well suited to slow down the Missouri locomotive.

My projections and power rankings suggest this line should be no higher than 10 points and thus according to my estimates we have value attached to under rated Fresno State. It must be noted UCLA is getting way to much respect for their win vs LSU. Note: The Bruins have failed to cover 6 of the L/8 games vs non conference opposition as a home favorite. Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS L/5 vs Pac 12. Fresno State is also 8-1 ATS L/9 as underdogs of 10 or more points.

The Boise State Broncos are  still looking for steady direction under new head coach Andy Avalos and inconsistencies have looked common here early this season. The one consistency I do see, is that the defense has some work to do, and here against an explosive Oklahoma State squad difficulties will definitely  arise here against  Cowboys star QB Spencer Sanders and company.

CFB Home underdogs (VANDERBILT) - after allowing 5.5 or more rushing yards/attempt last game against opponent after allowing 5.5 or more rushing yards/attempt in 2 straight games are 26-5 ATS L/29 seasons for 84% conversion rate.

I have some futures tickets on Penn State and feel they are the most under rated team in the nation. While my assumptions may prove incorrect at some point , - for now  I feel strongly about their talent levels, and believe they can beat any team in the nation if healthy including their SEC opponent today Auburn who return just 9 starters from last years squad.  Auburn has blown away some sub par competition in their first two games, but here today their are in deep and that will show in the final score.

Penn State currently 2-0 SU/ATS this season  is 6-0 ATS/SU L/6 dating back to last season. 

Nittany Lions’ head coach James Franklin is  12-0 ATS over the last twelve games when coming off consecutive SU/ATS victories.

. The Falcons are coming off a 23-3 win over Navy and Im betting they will be a in a letdown situation this week vs a under rated Utah State side.Utah State has averaged 311 passing yards per game through its first two tilts and the defense has only surrendered a total of 214 rushing yards and must be respected here as underdogs. 

Troy Calhoun is 19- 33 ATS ras conference chalk, and has failed to cover 16 of their L/24 after playing  Navy, including 3-9 ATS as favs. 

CFB Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (UTAH ST) - team with a poor scoring defense last season - allowed 31 or more points/game, after a playing a game where 70 total points or more were scored are 31-9 ATS L/29 seasons for a 78% conversion rate.

This tilt is based on power ranking and projection output that favor the underdog covering this number. Each of the last 3 meetings between these CUSA rivals have been decided by 8 points or less. Im betting on similar results here thus giving us value with the home underdog. Last time out UAB was eaten alive by Georgia and that can be humiliating. College kids dont deal with defeat as well as pros do and despite of wanting to come back out here and get redemption, Im betting they wont be as able as many might think. Note:Clark is 1-8 ATS in road games after a game with a turnover margin of -2 or worse as the coach of UAB.

Thanks to Georgias thunderous start to this campaign, Im betting that the lines-makers and public have got ahead of themselves and that we have value here with the underdog. Note:

Georgia has failed to cover 8 of their L/11 as conference home favorite  of  17 or more  points,. Meanwhile, South Carolina is 7-1 ATS as conference dogs of more than 15 points. Also from a personal perspective Im a big fan of  HC Shane Beamer,  and what he brings to this Gamecocks football program. Pride and grit Im betting gets us a slice of Georgia pie here this Saturday. 

Smart is 0-6 ATS  in home games after a cover as a double digit favorite as the coach of GEORGIA.

Both these teams worked hard for wins last week, and now with both in an emotional letdown situation, the offensive fireworks may start slowly, with home field advantage taking precedent for me with Memphis. note: Memphis is 9-3 ATS against SEC opposition with an above .500 record  including 6-1 ATS at the Liberty Bowl.

Northwestern is just 3-7 in its last 10 road games and do not instill confidence in being road favorites at an SEC venue , even though its at Duke. The Wildcats lost more returning production from last year  than any other FBS side, and cohesion going forward especially on the road will be an issue, especially with top tier defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz. 

NORTHWESTERN is 9-21 ATS off a home no-cover where the team won as a favorite since 1992.

Fitzgerald is 17-32 ATS in the first month of the season as the coach of NORTHWESTERN.

Kansas State has lost  QB, Skylar Thompson, to a knee injury , and there is no news on when he will return. So now we get to bet into a underdog line, on a home side, with a strong D, and viable enough attack to make life difficult for their Mountain West opponents Nevada.  I know Nevada beat Cal, but their ground game only produced 61 yards in that game and Im betting they have problems moving the chains again, via their ground game, and will bump into problems through the air vs the a under rated Kansas State secondary. The Wolfpack are 0-5 SU vs Big 12 .

Gophers lost top tier  RB Mohamed Ibrahim for the season but still have enough backup talent to be able to cope with that loss behind RB Treyson Pott who rushed for a 178 yards and 2 TDS last time out.

Indiana was humiliated by Iowa in a ugly 34-6 beatdown in their opener, and now need swift redemption against a top tier unit  in what Im betting is a must win situation for the Hoosiers here against a tough Cincinnati football program on a 11 game reg season win streak. Im bolstered and confident in backing Indiana after watching them smash Idaho last week, and feel strongly they dont go down without an all out fight here at home.

 Miami Fl QB D'Eriq King, leads this experienced  Canes team . King  Im betting will use  veterans  to punch through a over hyped Michigan State squad. Look for running back Cam'Ron Harris, tight end Will Mallory and receivers Mike Harley and Charleston Rambo to unload with big numbers today. Just a quick note: Losing to Alabama is not something that should impact a negative connotation towards Miami, and their close win vs a under rated and always tough App State side,  the Canes should be looked upon more favorably. On the flip side Michigan State beating a depleted and rebuilding Northwestern team and than an  a FCS side should also not suddenly catapult the Spartans to football god status. With that said, Im betting the right side is favored and there is value laying points at 7 points or less.

This is just to many points to pass up on according to my projections and power rankings. Because   of Ohios loss to FCS school last week Duquesne we have a tainted line to bet into here with the underdog . Im betting on Ohio doing what they do best and pounding the ball on the ground here which will eat up clock and help keep UL Lafayette off the field.

 David Shaw is sometimes a hard HC to read. His team behind two QBs looked lost offensively, despite of the D, showing some strong potential this season, losing by a 24-7 final score to Kansas State last week. In this conference opener I do expect ,Shaw to stick with one QB, and for the defence to pressure a vulnerable looking USC offensive line giving Kedon Slovis some issues  with distribution. 

Cardinal is 11-3 ATS L/14 as underdogs of more than a Touch Down. 

Shaw is 30-19 ATS  after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread as the coach of STANFORD.

Embarrassing is what must describe Vanderbilts opener vs a FCS school E.Tennessee State as they lost 22-3 . Wow. A new SEC low. However, now thanks to that ugly effort Im expecting a more wide awake Vandy crew here in game 2 vs Mountain West opponent Colorado State.

Note and Key trend: 17 returning-starter underdogs like the Commodores  in Game Two of the season are  18-2 ATS when coming off a loss of 15 or more points, and facing an opponent coming off a defeat l as Colorado State is.

I know Washington lost in an upset to the Montana , but in the past the Huskies have proved resilient- as the program has gone  8-0 SU in its last eight games after losing as a favorite, and 22-11 SU against the Big Ten L/33 meetings.

The up and down Illinois football side has proven fairly resilient in the past in this spot as they are 7-3 ATS away when coming off a SU favorite defeat. It must also be noted that  Illini HC Bielema is  6-0 ATS in his last six bounce back situations as a underdog when coming off a SU loss. The only  meetings in this series vs Virginia were won by Illinois. Both were  bowl games. I am not a big fan of what the situation is in Virginia or the type of recruiting that they have done, and last years 5-5 mark is a statement to that mediocrity. With that saidm  I'll recommend we take the point here.

Dino Babers is way down on my list for coaches.

Last year ,Ohio averaged 216.7 yards rushing per game behind RB De'Montre Tuggle l who averaged  7.6 yards per carry, 134.3 per game,  including 7 TDs.

The Jacksonville St  defense allowed their  opposition to an average just 17.6 points in offensive output , 92.3 rushing yards, and 2.3 ypc in a 13-game campaign last season. With key contributors back Im betting they remain staunch. Meanwhile, the offense is also dangerous behind top tier prospect  QB Zerrick Cooper who was on the Heisman watch list after leaving Clemson. On the flip-side, UAB is also a strong team that could make a run for the CUSA championship. Their strength remains on their grinding run game on offense and a defense that returns 9 starters. With that said, Im betting on the Gamecocks strong run stopping abilities and their superior QB to help them stay within the number in this game and to get us the cover.

 Army Head coach Jeff Monken is 3-0 so far with the Knights in bowls and the program has won four straight going back to 1986. I have alot of respect for this HC, and his ability to have this team ready to play West Virginia here today. 
W VIRGINIA is 0-8 ATS  as a neutral field favorite of 7 points or less since 1992. 

CFB  team (ARMY) - after allowing 17 points or less in 2 straight games against opponent after scoring 6 points or less last game are 35-11 ATS L/10 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors.


CFB Neutral field favorites vs. the money line (W VIRGINIA) - after 1 or more consecutive straight up losses, in a non-conference game between two teams from major division 1-A conferences are 20-11 SU L/10 seasons .

The Bulldogs (3-7) will make a school-record 11th consecutive bowl appearance, while the Golden Hurricane (6-2) will play in their first bowl since 2016 when they meet on New Year's Eve in the Armed Forces Bowl at Fort Worth, Texas.

Tulsa behind a top tier D had a fine season, but Mississippi State is a power 5 team from one of the strongest conferences in the nation and deserve our respect here in this spot.  It must be noted noted that. the underdog dog is 5-1 ATS in the last six Mississippi State  bowl games  and HC Mike Leach stands tall with a  26-11 ATS as a road dog against sides like Tulsa with a better record. Considering ACC bowl sides are just 1-5 ATS L/6 vs a the ACC, it was not a hard decision for me to pull the trigger with the Bulldogs. 

CFB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (MISSISSIPPI ST) - poor team - outscored by opponents by 7 or more points/game, after a playing a game where 70 total points or more were scored 107-59 ATS L/28 seasons for a 65% conversion rate.

Wisconsin at 3-3 on the season  is getting far to much respect here in a rebuilding year. I know Wake forest finished the season, on a 0-2 run but ot must be noted that head coach Dave Clawson,  when off consecutive losses, is a bankroll expanding  10-0 ATS when the last loss was a  double-digit ATS defeat, which was the case . Clawson is also 8-0 ATS after allowing 6.25 or more yards/play in 2 consecutive games as the coach of WAKE FOREST.

Colorado used to be a member of the Big 12 conference and it must be noted that when Texas played  the Buffs they smashed them  in five straight games by an average margin of 32.8 points. I know these are different manifestations of these football programs, but from a matchup perspective my projections. make the Longhorns DD favs in this spot thus we have value based on my numbers. 

Key to this tilt: Colorado had the 13th-highest rushing rate in the country this season, keeping the ball on the ground on 60% of its offensive possessions. However, the Texas  defense has been close to spectacular slowing the run this season, ranking 36th in the country in Rushing Success rate  allowing 3.6 yards per carry, rankings 25th in the nation. Advantage Longhorns. 

Texas HC Herman is 16-5 ATS  in non-conference games in all games he has coached with a the average ppg diff clicking in at +22.6 ppg. Texas is 3-1 in the Alamo Bowl, including a 38-10 win over Utah last season. With Herman at the helm of the program Texas is 3-0 in bowl games, winning by an average of 17.3 ppg.

Two strong sides off of champinship games losses, are not looking as viable as they did earlier in the season. 

Florida Atlantic after allowing 20 points or less in 6 straight games, finally looked flat last time out in a loss to Southern Miss . With that said, Im betting on the FAU getting back to business and showing us how tough their D can be, against a Memphis side that is  known for top tier offensive assaults. Note: Memphis HC Ryan Silverfield, is  1-7 SUATS in its last eight bowl games, including 0-5 SUATS the last five overall.  Meanwhile, the Owls, are 4-0 SUATS all-time in bowl games .

The matchup pits two of the top offenses in the country against each other. UCF ranks second in the nation in total offense (585 yards per game) while BYU is 10th (510 yards per game). The game features two of the best quarterbacks in the nation. I look for both teams to tee off on each other and for this to be a one possession game that favors the side getting points according to my projections. 

BYU is 0-6 ATS  when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%) over the last 2 seasons. Sitake is 0-7 ATS in road games after 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread as the coach of BYU.

CFB Neutral field favorites vs. the money line (BYU) - after having won 2 out of their last 3 games, in a non-conference game between two teams from major division 1-A conferences are 9-21 SU L/10 seasons for a go against 70% conversion rate for bettors.

Tulsa has a fine hard working defensive group and have made large strides this season and deserve respect but not my backing as DD underdogs in this spot. The reason Im willing to lay this much lumber with the Bearcats is because this is a top teir group on a national level, while Tulsa despite of a top 25 ranking is not. Tulsa just does not in my humble opinion have the guns to hang with Cincinnati as this game moves into the 2nd half. 

CFB Road underdogs vs. the money line (TULSA) - after covering the spread in 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games, a top-level team (80% or more) playing a team with a winning record are 1-27 SU L/5 seasons for a  97% conversion rate with the average ppg diff clicking in at -15.3 ppg.

After a slow start Stanford has finally started to operate optimally, as they have now won three stragijht games all on the road.  Now this sweek, Im betting on the Cardinal flow and momentum to continue upward vs a UCLA side in an emotional letdown scenario after blowing a DD lead to USC last week, and finally succumbing to a loss. The Cardinal have ewon 11 of tne L/12 meetings in this sseries SU and will not be easily disposed of this week. STANFORD is 32-17 ATS  in road games versus good offensive teams - averaging 425 or more yards/game. STANFORD is 13-4 ATS  in December games since 1992. UCLA is 1-7 SU and 0-7-1 ATS L/8  in Last Home Game of the season features.

 Clemson has revenge on board for a loss to Notre Dame earlier this season, and odds are they will probably get it , but Im betting ti wont come easily. In the first meeting  the Irish outrushed the Tigers by  208- 34, count and that was not a fluke. On the flip side  they were able   to stop cold  Clemson RB Travis Etienne  allowing him just 28 yards on 18 carries. .  It must also be noted that same-season revengers in conference championship games when they sport a  better record are 0-12 SU L/7 seasons .  Add to that Notre Dames QB Ian Book owns a  30-3 SU record as a starter for the Irish and in my humble opinion is a better sgnal caller than all world QB Lawrence and we have a go to take points here with a Fighting Irish side that deserves respect as DD dogs.

Wisconsin has lost 3 straight games and score a total of 20 points in those tilts and are now being asked to cover by almost 13 points. Im not buying in on this number, and instead suggest we take the points with Minnesota side that will grind away on the ground behind the legs of Mohammed Ibrhim the  Big Ten Conference Running Back of the Year . The hard driving kid needs just  75 yards to reach 1000 yards and will be key here to the Gophers being competetive. MINNESOTA is 6-0 ATS  after a game where they committed no turnovers over the last 3 seasons and are 5-1 ATS L/6 visits here.

The two longtime SEC rivals meet in their regular-season finale Saturday afternoon at Baton Rouge, La. Ole Miss needs this game badly as they look for a Bowl invite.LSU (4-5) can't have a winning record and is bowl ineligible after self-imposing a postseason ban amid an NCAA investigation into the program and are not and motivated and thus fade material here for me this week. 

CFB road team vs. the money line (OLE MISS) - excellent offensive team (6.2 or more  YPP) against a terrible defense (6.2 or more  YPP) after 7+ games, after gaining 525 or more total yards/game over their last 2 games are 29-2 SU L/28 seasons for a 94% conversion rate for bettors wirth the average ppg diff clikcing in at +23.2 ppg. 

CFB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (LSU) - in conference games, off an extremely close road win by 3 points or less are 8-24 ATS L/5 season s for a go against 75% conversion rate for bettors.

The Buckeyes (5-0, 5-0 Big Ten) are looking to cement their spot in the College Football Playoff despite critics contending they haven't played enough games and weren't impressive when they did play.  Northwestern (6-1, 6-1) knows the odds are against it, just as they were in the 2018 conference title game, which the Buckeyes won 45-24. This time around I like the chances of Northwestern being a little more competetive after a season that saw them see a  9  PPG  increase on offense and 9 less PPG on defense from last season.  Note: Underdogs in Big Ten conference title game is 7-1 ATS all-time. 

Fitzgerald is 13-2 ATS after covering the spread in 5 or 6 out of their last 7 games as the coach of NORTHWESTERN.  Fitzgerald is 20-6 ATS  in road games versus good offensive teams - averaging 5.9 or more  yards/play as the coach of NORTHWESTERN.

The Ducks and No. 15 Trojans will  play for the Pac-12 championship on Friday night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. My projections make the Trojans 6 point favs here vs what my power rankings suggest is an over rated opponent.

CFB home team vs. the money line (USC) - in a game involving two average defensive teams (21-28 PPG), after scoring 37 points or more in 2 straight games are 26-2 SU l/5 seasons with the ppg diff clicking in at +17.4 ppg.

The Buffalo Bulls  Jaret Patterson leads the nation in rushing at 205 ypg.  However, the Ball State Cardinals own    the best run defense the future NFLer has faced to this point in the campaign as they have given up an average of just 148 yards per game. It must also be noted that Ball State  also owns the second-best offense that Buffalo has faced this season. Considering the Bulls have shown some inconsistencies on defence this season with some breakdowns, as was the case when thye recently allowed Kent State to score 41 points on them  it will not be a hard decision here to take points here. 

BALL ST is 8-1 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons.BALL ST is 6-0 ATS versus excellent offensive teams - averaging 450 or mkore yards/game over the last 2 seasons.

Rutgers has looked very competitive of late winning 2 of their L3 while Nebraska has ,lost 3 of their L/4 and continue to have issues with offensive flow averaging just 22.4 ppg on the season. There is no way Nebraska deserves to be more than a 3 point fav here if at all and recommending we take the points with the Scarlet Knights. 

Frost is 0-6 ATS  off 2 or more consecutive unders as the coach of NEBRASKA. Schiano is 18-7 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 10 points in all games he has coached since 1992.

CFB Favorites of 3.5 to 10 points (NEBRASKA) - after having lost 3 out of their last 4 games against opponent after having lost 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games are 43-17 ATS L/5 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors.

Marshall (7-1 overall, 4-1 C-USA) holds an 8-2 edge all-time against UAB (5-3, 3-1), including a 5-0 mark inside Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The only loss the Thundering Herd have  was two weeks ago against Rice by a 20-0 count. While it may not have been a complete fluke is was a very strange event, and now after a week off and redemption on board vs UAB im betting there will be a huge pent up demand to smash this or any opponent mercilessly . Note: Marshall won its first seven games, climbing into the top 15 in the national rankings for the first time since 1999. The Herd also spent multiple weeks in the College Football Playoff rankings for the first time in program history and deserve our respect here at a TD or less. UAB is 6-16 ATS  in road games after having won 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games.

BYU is coming into this game off a loss to Coastal Carolina last time out and will be primed to come out here with a huge effort at home in the land of the Mormons. Quote: "It hurts," Milne said. "I think that happening honestly just put a chip on our shoulder, that we're not done yet. We've got a lot more to say, and we'd like any opportunity we can to just go prove ourselves." END Quote. The Cougars rank seventh in the nation in scoring offense (44.5 points per game) and total offense (522.7 yards per game) and Im betting after having to endure a strong defensive side last week, will now be acclimated to take another staunch D and will have more success.

The “Crosstown Rivalry” battle of LA goes this Saturday.
The 4-0 Trojans if they win today can get into the conference championship game, but Im betting the already motivated Bruins will feel even more empowered to knock the wind out of the Trojans championship hopes with a win of their own.  UCLA is 3-1-1 ATS as home dogs of 8 or fewer points. USC is 6-16 ATS in December games since 1992.CFB home team vs. the money line (UCLA) - after beating the spread by more than 7 points in three consecutive games, in the second half of the season are 36-6 SU L/5 seasons for a 86% conversion rate and a perfect 6-0 SU this season.
