Ohio State is expected to cruise here, but I am not expecting it to be nearly as easy as the Bowling Green victory 77-10.

09-10-16 | NC State v. East Carolina +5 | 30-33 | Win | 100 | 122 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a critical conference matchup with NC State, and the Pirates look good entering this action, as the key players are healthy, after gaining plenty of confidence and showing a promising connect between QB Nelson and WR Jones in a 52 to 7 win vs W.Carolina last week. The 688 total yards were the most for the E Carolina offense since a 2014 win vs N.Carolina in a 70-41 win. Im betting they give the Wolfpack vulnerable D all they can handle this week on their way to a cover. |

Penn State opened its season last week with a 33-13 home victory over Kent State.Pittsburgh defeated Villanova last week by a score of 28-7.Pittsburgh has been the favorite since the summer when early lines opened for this tilt, but the Nittany Lions have closed the gap and in my opinion for good reason. Heinz Field is rocking and rolling come Saturday. Although, it may not exactly be in favor of the home team. Penn State is expected to have a huge crowd make the trip to Pittsburgh, meaning that blue and white should be fairly dominant in the stadium, making this less of a road game than the casual observer may believe. |

The Seminoles return 17 starters from a team that went 10-3 last year. All 11 are back on offense, led by Heisman candidate running back Dalvin Cook (1,691 yards at 7.4 yards per carry last season) and, of course, the entire offensive line. This game is being played in Orlando but is just a half hour down the road from their own diggs, so I would still say this is a home game for the Seminoles. Noles have gone 8-0-2 when they have played in Orlando dating back to 1952. hMississippi has lost alot of players to graduation, and despite of a top flight QB are in my opinion a lesser opponent.

With revenge on board in a high energy home environment a different type of outcome is expected,Look for the big Longhorns running back duo o f D’Onta Foreman and Chris Warren III to smash through the lanes behind the strongest Oline in the Charlie Strong era and be the catalyst for a Texas cover.

Both Arizona and BYU are returning starters from explosive offenses, but the difference maker comes on the defensive end of the field. Defensively, the Cougars return eight starters from a squad that gave up 22.8 points a game. Arizona has eight starters although Arizona Cats couldn’t stop anyone last year, giving up an ugly average of 30.5 points a night. BYU also has the superior talent level. Granted that BYUs coaching staff behind New head coach Kalani Sitake might look different, but the attention will still be on their attack and staunch defense that must be respected. |

Ron Caragher's team returns 15 starters looking to make it back-to-back postseason trips. San Jose State improved from 3–9 to 6–7 last season and Im betting they will once again improve. The Spartans are in my humble opinion being disrespected with a line that should be closer to +3 in my opinion.

I am not going to go in detail, here about the matchups and discrepancies associated with this game, as its everywhere all over the internet . Instead I will keep it simple. Don;t be surprised if Alabama dominates the Clemson Tigers. It must be noted that national championship calibre teams don't turn the ball over as much as Clemson has this year, and I can see a huge gridiron karmic payback wreaking havoc on them here in the spot light tonight.

Going up against the four-time defending national champions North Dakota State is a huge challenge, but not knowing who will start under center for that opponent adds a diverse degree of difficulty for preparation for the No.1 ranked Jacksonville State Gamecocks. The Bisons will probably play both QBs in a rotational situation.North Dakota State is pursuing its 13th national title and fifth straight, and know how to win the big game. This Bisons side is one of the greatest programs of all time in College football, and it would be a fools game to go against them. With that said, laying a FG is not a difficult decision here.

From a head to head matchup stance Arkansas has out gained KState by an average 117 yards per game. With this game just down the road from Fayetville, the Hogs will have some huge fan support and they get the nod today in what Im betting will be a beatdown.

Penn State enters this game off back to back season ending losses, but its interesting to to note that Big 10 Bowl team off back to back SU losses have failed to cover only 1 of their L/13 bowl appearances. Georgia has an interim coach and in non conference games teams like this are 1-7 SU/ATS. Tough sledding for Georgia today should be expected as 15 yr vet HC Mark Richt is gone. Oh, I forget to mention that QB Christian Hackenberg og Bulldogs only completed 53% of his passes this season, not not exactly send shivers down a Penn State defense, that despite of some late season collapses, is still extremely solid.

The Rebels allowed 300 yards or more in four of their last six games,and thats not a good omen going up against what can be an explosive downfield Cowboys 7th ranked national aerial attack.

I am betting Iowa , has a blueprint to upset Stanford SU and more importantly as we are concerned to get us the cover ATS. As was the case when Northwestern beat up the Cardinal defensive front while smashing away with 225 rushing yards. Follow that up with the Oregon Ducks pounding the Stanford D for 231 yards via the run game which included and three scores, and Notre Dame's tenacious consistent ground attack for 299 yards and two touchdown averaging over eight yards per carry, showed Iowa that you beat Stanford vs their own game. the Hawkeyes, averaged 192 yards on the ground this season, and exploded for 200 plus yards in 7 games, while their won D, is staunch, and has allowed only 200 yards, once this season.

The Florida Gators defense is of the top tier variety with the speed, athleticism, on the front seven that is unmatched against the run. With an NFL-caliber secondary that allowed 175 yards per game, their opponents Michigan will have alot of difficulties moving the ball down the field. Both teams I am betting will struggle on offense, but the difference maker will come via the superior athleticism of Gators and their ability to not turn the ball over(+10), which cannot be said, about the Wolverines (-6).

MSU is the real deal and have proven that they are every bit as tough on both sides of the ball as any of the other top tier teams in the country as was the case against Ohio State when they pulled of the win. The toughness , of the Spartans became evident to anyone who watched their games this season and are more than capable of hanging tough against a Crimson Tide offense that has had problems scoring more than 30 points this season. So if we can just get two TDs, from MSU ....getting the cover here is of the high probability type wager. Plus Spartans – Mark Dantonio and his staff are one of the very few groups in football that can duel against the brainy HC Saban and his group. Sparty has dropped a grand total of just four games straight-up, in their l/38 overall games and posted a perfect 4-0 SUATS record in their L/4 Bowl events the last four years. Cook is 34-4 SU as a starting QB. Michigan State is also 12-1-1 ATS as dogs 10 points or less and have won 9 of those games SU..Alabama Heisman winning bowl sides are 0-7 ATS as favorites 8 pts or more.

The Cougars are a very good team, and I respect the great year, they had. But they are over matched vs a Seminoles’ team loaded with NFL talent. Florida State is superior to the Cougars in every position except quarterback. But the top player in this game, is super star RB Dalvin Cook, who Im betting will dominate vs a good but over matched D. Meanwhile, the Seminoles, D has had a top tier year, ranking No. 12 nationally in yards per play allowed. Houston, freight train, I'm betting finally comes up a steel wall and it will hurt.

Nevada owns a wildly inconsistent offense, and at the proverbial opposite end of he performance spectrum their opponents today Colorado State... do have a balanced offense. The Rams average 196 yards per game on the ground and 221 per game through the air, and Nevada's defensive front Im betting will have alot of issues dealing with the effective rushing attack and the secondary that’s been poroous at times this season, as they are not built to be able to contend with the speed and athleticism of Rashard Higgins and the Ram receiving corps. CSU has too many options on offense and if they can keep the Nevada run game under caps should actually cruise to an easy victory as short chalk in this spot.

Facing a pedestrian Minnesota offense, and a inconsistent Gophers defense, will be like a walk in the park compared to their battle tested efforts that were mentioned above. CMU’s ability to keep the chains moving, ranking fifth in the nation in time of possession will be the difference maker vs a Gophers program that has lost seven straight bowls. Note:The last five bowl games CMU has been involved with were decided by a total of 13 points and all by three points or fewer. Central Michigan to cover 1 unit reg selection |

Pitt was at its best football on the road this season, going 5-1, including wins at Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Duke. The Panthers are a hard working crew , with very few big names, but they’re physical and fundamentally sound in most phases of their game. The Panthers and the Mids overall personnel matchup more equally than many might believe and Im betting neither one of these teams will pull away with a wide margin of victory. This game looks very much to be a war with the running games keying the event and a FG or late TD giving us the cover with Pittsburgh. Get ready for some Shock and Awe folks.

Tulsa owns a bad defense that allows 5.5 yards per carry, despite of a wide open offense, that I'm betting will have problem against a quality D, as they gave up a whopping 38 sacks this season.

This year, SDSU is 8-0 when forcing two turnovers or more, while Cincinnati is 124th in the nation in turnover margin giving it up 30 times. From a mathematical perspective, if the averages continue, the Aztecs once again have a huge advantage. Offensively, the Aztecs I'm betting will run over a porous Cincinnati defense that’s allowed 200 yards or more six times this season with their strong run game controlling the tempo here from start to finish. With Bearcats QB Gunner Kiel , expected to the miss this game ,they are even at a further disadvantage. But if for some reason, he miraculously appears, I am still betting San Diegos D, will make him pay for his downfield follies. It must also be noted that Cincinnati has shown a propensity to travel badly out side of their conference, and be less than prepared consistently. With this game taking place in paradise Island , more of the same Attention deficit disorder should continue. Cincinnati is 0-8 ATS L/8 in road games in non-conference games over the last 3 seasons.

Both these sides have strong QBs and downfield weapons. Western Michigan’s Zach Terrell sits third in the MAC in passing yards (3,225) . His counterpart, the heart of the Middle Tennessee State offense beats around quarterback Brent Stockstill .The Broncos’ defense ranks ninth in the MAC in yards allowed per game and passing defense efficiency and suffering with a slew of injuries and walking wounded in the secondary, which is a detriment for them today. Meanwhile, I know Western Michigan can do some damage, as mentioned above, and own No.1 time of possession numbers in the nation, which tells you something about their ball movement abilities. But the wild card comes, via a /middle State D, that started to play much better as the season progressed and is being underestimated here. This game Im betting has the makings of a one score tilt, and wont be surprised if its won by a late FG. Middle Tennessee State to cover 1 unit reg selection |

Western Kentucky in my humble opinion is not getting the respect they deserve. It seems much of the attention for this Bowl game has been shined on the USF Bulls. The Hilltoppers at 11-2 a Conference USA title and inclusion in the AP Top 25, tells a story of Jeff Brohm led program, that must be respected. It seems three straight blowouts of a exhausted Temple team, and a Cincinnati side that travels poorly, and horrible UCF side have set the pundits in a tizzy USF lovefest . Hey guys, I like how far the Bulls have come, and they have proven to be a pretty good team. But Western Kentucky despite of not being from a power 5 conference, are an explosive side that can compete with the best teams in the country. This game is being held in Miami and the Bulls should have alot of support, but that won't be enough to stop , an explosive offense, ranked third in the FBS in passing yards (365.4 ypg) and fourth in scoring (44.2 ppg). Im expecting them to surprise the so called experts with a conclusive win. Western Kentucky to cover 1 unitt reg selection |

Arkansas State comes into this game hitting on all cylinders, but they maybe ready to hit a brick wall. I know LA Tech crashed and burned vs Southern Miss at the end of the season, but the Bulldogs are more than good enough to keep pace and trade punches on offense in this proverbial fist fight. Yes, Red Wolves will score, but so will La Tech. Actually despite of outward appearances, the Bulldogs own a advanced and developed pro-style passing game, behind Florida transfer QB Jeff Driskel and a hardcore group of down field threats. Add to that RB Kenneth Dixon, explosive legs and capable of pounding the ball down the throat of a defense that is less than staunch and you have the Bulldogs in a favorable position. Arkansas State is vulnerable on defense, allowing almost 29 points a game, and are even worse shape after playmaking veteran Chris Stone was arrested in early December on drug charges.

San Jose State is a better team than many might believe as played BYU extremely tough in a 17-16 loss and losing a heartbreaker at Nevada in overtime. Meanwhile, Georgia State that has come a long way after starting FBS play with a 1-24 record. They have beaten some weaker teams to get this far, but they are really over matched in my humble opinion. The reason being is that they are a pass first team and only average 3.2 ypc on with the run , and against a Spartans secondary that is allowing only 154 yards per game, GState will have its hands full getting traction.

Appalachian State was a superpower FCS program that turned into a superpower Sun Belt team.The Mounties bring the nation’s fifth-most efficient offense, sixth-best run defense, and 12th-best defense overall on the way to a ten-win season. Meanwhile, Ohio is also a solid team, but own a lower level of overall talent, that struggled during parts of this season, and had to finish with a three game win streak to get a bowl appearance. The difference maker is that despite of Ohio’s offense being solid, it’s still a disaster in the red zone scoring just 77% of the time while ASU scores on whopping 89% of its opportunities.

Utah in the past has played amazing football in the post season with a 7-1 SU record in at Bowl Games under Whittingham and overall are 10-1 SU in their L/11 Bowl Games.

Meanwhile , Arizona finished their reg season schedule with a loss to Arizona State and lost 4 of their L/5 overall, and not happy or indifferent to their Bowl invite. Considering the Wildcats had the 2nd worst run defense, in the SEC also does not help their cause vs a Lobos team that garnered great success this season with a rushing attack that ranks fifth nationally in touchdowns, eighth in yards per game and an impressive 20th in yards per carry. I don't think we see the Wildcats at their best. Rodriguez is 1-14 ATS after covering the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games as the coach of the Wildcats.

Meanwhile, Alabama has had problems scoring this season, and eclipsing the 31 point plateau has been difficult and piercing the Gatos D, should also prove difficult. If we can get just a couple of TDs from the Gators in any way imaginable- our chances are very good for cashing a ticket in this spot and that is what I am betting on.

On both a per-game and aggregate basis, this is by far the worst team in the conference at getting to the quarterback, which is not good vs a young QB in Heard, who when given time is dangerous.

"This is a huge gauge for us going into some of the biggest games at the end of the season, because this is the biggest game we've played yet this season. Note: Spartans quarterback Connor Cook hurt his shoulder in last Saturday's 24-7 home win over Maryland.( This is not good news for Michigan State and part of the reason I like the Buckeyes to romp this week).

Im betting they plan on on force feeding the Bowling Green D, with run after run while at the same time keeping them honest with a well timed deep throws. On the flidside Toledos D, is an elite group, and will give Bowling Greens explosive offense some problems. Three of the last four meetings between these two programs were decided by a touchdown or less.

Im betting that the Middies run game and ability to control the Tigers fast snap attack, will be the difference maker this week. This one has the smell of a real stinker, for undefeated Memphis who have big games against Houston and Temple on board. NAVY is 17-4 ATS L/21 as a road underdog of 7.5 to 14 points.

11-07-15 | UCLA -17 v. Oregon State | 41-0 | Win | 100 | 119 h 52 m | Show | |
Alot has been made about how many defensive injuries the UCLA Bruins endured last week, but this week, after some practice their significant talent on the sidelines will step up against Oregon State this week. Its not like UCLA was strong defensively anyway, as the team relies on an explosive offense to pound other teams into submission. It must be noted that the Beavers have been outscored 182-87 during their five conference defeats, and only a minor miracle will keep them from getting slashed again.Oregon State upset the 19th-ranked Bruins 27-20 on the road in the previous meeting in 2012, so the Bruins wont be caught looking ahead after almost losing last week to Colorado. OREGON ST is 2-9 ATS as an underdog over the last couple of seasons losing SU by an average of just under 20 ppg. UCLA to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-07-15 | Wisconsin -12 v. Maryland | 31-24 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 13 m | Show | |
Wisconsin has an amazing defense that just keeps getting better. Maryland is a feisty team, but their offense is erratic and they wont get very much traction at all here today. On the flip-side , Wisconsin is now starting to find an offensive rhythm, as they scored 48 points last time out, and should do some decent damage vs a Terps D, that has allowed 49, 31, 31 points in their L/3 games. Wisconsin crushed Maryland last year 52-7 and even with revenge on board for the home team, they dont have the weapons to get their payback, and instead the Badgers most probably will crush them again. MARYLAND is 2-10 ATS L/12 vs. elite defensive teams who give up 12 or less points per game losing SU by an average 26.5 ppg.

11-07-15 | Notre Dame v. Pittsburgh +8.5 | 42-30 | Loss | -106 | 97 h 48 m | Show | |
Notre Dame is lucky to be 7-1 on the season, as they rank 98th in red-zone offense - worst among Top 25 teams - scoring on only 78.8 percent of its chances and getting touchdowns on only 58 percent of their red-zone possessions. Talk about the luck of the Irish. Im betting this week, that luck runs out vs an under rated Pittsburgh football program. Pittsburgh lost last time out to North Carolina 26-19 , but still looked viable by slowing down the Tarheels offense as the game progressed .Thats a good omen for the Panthers this week, vs a Notre Dame team that took some scrapes and is banged up off a win vs Temple last week.The last four meetings have been decided by an average of 4.5 points. Notre Dame last visited Pittsburgh in 2013, when the Panthers beat the No. 23 Irish 28-21. Im betting on another close one here. pittsburgh to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-06-15 | Temple -12 v. SMU | 60-40 | Win | 100 | 103 h 40 m | Show | |
After losing a hard fought game to Notre Dame last week, the Owls can ill afford a let down performance or another loss, or their time in the spot light will come to an end. The coaching staff knows this and will have Temple ready to play."As I told them before the game, this better not be the high point of our season," coach Matt Rhule said. "I think it just shows how good they've gotten, and they have to go finish it now."Rhule said his team may be without "a number of starters" against SMU, including running back Jahad Thomas but the back up options are solid. I have said this before and Ill say it again, RBs in College football are a dime a dozen, and Im not worried in the slightest. With SMU defense allowing an average of 46.7 points per game and some of their best D players alos missing this game with injurues, their suceptiable to getting slashed again . With that said Temples offense should do just fine, while their top tier defense, will give the 1-7 Mustangs alot of agony. SMU has dropped 23 of its last 25 games to ranked opponents, including the last nine, and I expect they lose this game in conclusive fashion again. Temple to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-05-15 | Arkansas State v. Appalachian State -10 | 40-27 | Loss | -115 | 57 h 39 m | Show | |
Appalachian State can take one more step toward its first Sun Belt Conference football title under the lights, in front of a national audience Thursday night. They will prepared for a fast paced uptempo attack from Arkansas State who may now believe that is the way to take down the Mountaineers after Troy played fast and almost beat the Mounties who seemed off guard for that type of speed. Applachian State will now be prepared to slow things down, and let their hardcore defense, stop Arkansas State cold. It must be noted that they had allowed 0, 13, 3, 14, 13 points respectively in 5 straight games before last weeks anomaly.The difference, between Troy’s offense and Arkansas States's is that they rely more heavily on quick timing routes and screen passes. Arkansas State leans on the run, averaging 224 yards on the ground – 16th in the nation.Both times Appalachian State allowed more than 13 points this season were the only times the Mountaineers have allowed more than 200 passing yards. Passing hasn’t been a strength of the Red Wolves, who average 185 yards (104th overall) so Im betting their in trouble here. App States offense can be explosive and Im betting that Arkansas State won't be able to answer consistently and end up on the wrong end of a lop sided score. Arkansas State is 8-25 ATS L/33 against top tier rushing teams - averaging 4.75 or more rushing yards per carry. App State to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-05-15 | Baylor v. Kansas State +17.5 | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 57 h 35 m | Show | |
Kansas State is a good but currently struggling team, losers of four in a row. And the No. 2 Bears are unbeaten and moving toward college football's playoff as they head to Manhattan on Thursday night.The Bears may be the heavily favored group with national championship aspirations , but their recent shake-up at quarterback leaves some significant question marks.Freshman Jarrett Stidham, a year removed from leading his team to the Texas high school playoffs, will be under center for this tilt. That is alot of pressure to be playing nder here in Manhatten against a Billy Snyder football program. The wind was taken out of the Wildcats sails, when they blew a big halftime lead to TCU and eventually lost a few weeks ago. That defeat really hurt these young men and they have come out emotionally flat in back to back games, and now have something to prove to themselves and an allumni that has lost interest in them. Im betting on a big game from these kids, and yes maybe even a historical upset as huge home dogs. Kansas State is 23-9 ATS in home games off a road loss against a conference rival since 1992. HC Snyder is 20-8 ATS L/28 in home games versus good rushing teams -averaging 200+ rushing yards per game. Kansas State to cover 1 unit reg selection |

10-31-15 | Notre Dame v. Temple +10 | Top | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 131 h 14 m | Show |
I know alot of you are saying Im crazy, and maybe your right. Analysts on ESPN said, that Temple had no chance of upsetting Notre Dame and were quite obnoxious about they way they put it. These same guys also said, that Memphis could not beat Ole Miss. Guess what , happened, Memphis beat them. Is Ole Miss as good as Notre Dame, ya, I would say so. Im saying dont be shy making this bet and Don't take this very strong Owls defense lightly. Of course the Irish will come out slinging, but Temple, will play a clock game, and have the D to slow down the Irish at home and a special teams unit that can change the complexion of any game in a hurry. On the flip-side, Notre Dames defense has proven itself very inconsistent, so don't be surprised if they give up more points than many expect. Once looked at as the eleventh or twelfth most-important game on Notre Dame’s schedule, Saturday could very well be the most important game in Temple football history. . Temple is ranked 14th nationally in total defense and eighth in scoring defense. DEFENSE wins big games. But we don't need a SU upset win, but a competitive event, with the points being golden. In week 2 Notre Dame barely beat a Virginia team that I rate as lower than Temple, by a 34-27 count failing to cover as -14 point road chalk. Also from a league wide trend, it must be noted that teams like Temple have won 29 of 31 times straight up under these parameters ....A home team vs. the money line allowing 225 or less total yards per game over their last 3 games against opposition after allowing 475 or more total yards in their previous game like Notre Dame just did. Notre Dame is also just 10-26 ATS versus good defensive teams - allowing 4.5 or less yards/play since 1992.

Georgia wants this game badly, and come into this contest in revenge mode for last seasons , 38-20 loss as 11.5 point chalk vs Florida. The Bulldogs can not afford another loss, and will leave everything on the field here today, making getting points a strong play . When considering both teams talent levels, I would have said, at the begining of this season, that Georgia would be the road favorite. but thanks to the Gators playing above themselves to an extent we get to bet into a FG underdog line. I expect Georgia to use their vaunted ground attack to run the ball down the throat of host reptiles for top tier results and a cover. Georgia to cover 1 unit reg selection |

10-31-15 | USC v. California +6 | 27-21 | Push | 0 | 92 h 34 m | Show | |
Southern Cal just snapped a two-game losing streak last week, knocking off previously unbeaten Utah 42-24, covering as a six-point home favorite. This was an emotionally charged event, mostly because of the Sarkasian firing, as the former coach was mismanaging the team, because of alcohol problems. This Trojans team has been put through alot of highs and lows this season, and not to take away from their talents, but they must be drained , rather than rejuvenated as they enter this tilt vs California. Meanwhile, Cal is coming off its poorest performance of this season, a 40-24 loss at UCLA last Thursday. That was a letdown game for the Bears, after having out gianed Utah in their last trip to the gridiron and still lost thanks to 6 turnovers. Now with time to regroup, this top tier Bears group will be ready to fire on all cylinders, something they can do with the best of teams, as they proved in their 5-0 start this season behind gunslinger QB Jared Goff.

10-31-15 | Rutgers v. Wisconsin -19 | 10-48 | Win | 100 | 98 h 9 m | Show | |
When you first look at this line, its looks a little out of whack. Is Rutgers really that bad, and are the Badgers really that good. Well , the lines-makers rarely make mistakes, and its become obvious to some of us, that yes Rutgers is pretty bad, and that the Badgers continue to improve. Also many believe that the Badgers are a defensive clock control team, that does not win by big margins. While that maybe true to an extent, if you look at some of their recent performances, what becomes evident is that teams are having a hard time moving the chains on them and scoring. With Rutgers defense, shabby at best, even a pedestrian effort from the the Badgers offense will see them put in the high 20s to low 30s on the board, while, Rutgers will be lucky to score more than 10 points after getting beat up in a 49-7 loss to Ohio State las week. Defensively, Wisky is allowing 11.1 points and 279.9 yards per game.Yes Wisconsin has some injuries, but all the backups who take their place are quailty recruits with playing time behind them and they wont flinch.Rutgers also has some key players expected to miss or be less than 100% including all star WR Leonte Caroo and as team are banged up vs a bruising Ohio State matchup . The Wisconsin Badgers look for another home win to string together a four-game winning streak and Im betting they get it and more importantly cover the all important number.

10-29-15 | West Virginia v. TCU -14 | 10-40 | Win | 100 | 83 h 44 m | Show | |
A depleted West Virginia secondary will have its hands full with TCU's Josh Doctson via QB Trevone Boykin, who leads the nation with an average of 152.4 yards receiving. Doctson has 11 TDs in his last five games and should once again have a big day vs a over rated West Virginia defense, that has allowed 44, 33, 62 points respectively in their L/3 games.The Mountaineers are more vulnerable defending the pass because of a season-ending knee injury to Karl Joseph on Oct. 6 in practice, which has proven disastrous. The safety is still tied for third in the country with five interceptions. It must also be noted that due to injuries, this TCU defense, has really begun to shine under a 4-7 formation. Its hard to believe but this Frog D , is making some big stops and will cause the Mounties some issues. Off a bye week TCU looks strong and being under rated in this spot. TCU is 10-1 ATS in games played on a grass field over the last couple of seasons winning SU by 33.7 ppg. TCU is also 8-0 ATS after playing their last game on the road over the last couple of seasons winning SU by an average of 34.7 ppg. Tcu to cover 1 unit Reg selection |
