09-14-19 | Memphis v. South Alabama +19.5 | 42-6 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 30 m | Show | |
Memphis has started their season winning their first two home games including a week 1 15-10 victory vs Ole Miss and an easy 55-24 victory vs a FCS opponent Southern last week. Now in a let down spot vs a tough Sun belt opponent South Alabama Im betting covering this number will not come easily. MEMPHIS is 1-9 ATS in road games off 2 consecutive home wins since 1992.MEMPHIS is 4-15 ATS after gaining 575 or more total yards in their previous game since 1992 and is 13-33 ATS after scoring 42 points or more last game since 1992. Memphis is just 3-16 SU in their L/19 road openers. Play on South Alabama to cover |

09-14-19 | NC State v. West Virginia +7 | 27-44 | Win | 100 | 112 h 48 m | Show | |
The Mounties are coming off a 38-7 beat down at Missouri and now are being given a home dog classification by the lines-makers vs a over rated NC State football program that just got finished beating up on two sub par Carolina programs(East and Coastal). I know that West Virginia might be down a few notches this season with just 10 returning starters, and have a new head coach, but this line is over blown thanks to recency bias thus giving us value according to my projections. Note: West Virginia 20-1 L/21 at home vs non conference opposition. NC STATE is 8-22 ATS as a road favorite of 7 points or less since 1992. CFB Home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (W VIRGINIA) - excellent passing team from last season - had a completion pct of 62% or better, in non-conference games are 32-9 ATS L/27seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors. CFB Home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (W VIRGINIA) - good offense from last season - averaged 400 or more total yards/game, in non-conference games are 33-11 ATS L/10 seasons for a 75% conversion rate for bettors.

09-14-19 | Maryland v. Temple +8 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 102 h 45 m | Show | |
Temple and Maryland have alot of similarities this season. New head coaches and offensive systems. Inexperienced top tier talent everywhere. According to my power ranking projections both all match up very well, and Im not going to be swayed by Maryland 2 lopsided wins in the first couple of weeks of this season. CFB Home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (TEMPLE) - team that had a winning record last season, in non-conference games are 74-33 L/27 seasons for a 69% conversion rate for bettors. CFB Home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (TEMPLE) - good offense from last season - averaged 400 or more total yards/game, in non-conference games are 33-11 ATS L/10 seasons for a 75% conversion rate.

09-14-19 | Kansas State +8 v. Mississippi State | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 78 h 42 m | Show | |
Tonight Im betting a talented blue collar group in Kansas State under new HC Chris Klieman, will give a over rated Mississippi State program a much closer battle than many might anticipate. Kansas State annihilated their first two opponents, and while the Bulldogs also won their first two games they were far from spectacular, and with starting QB Tommy Stevens enduring a shoulder injury last week and backup QB Garrett Shrader expected to start further credence is added to my call .( Even if Sharder starts Im still expect KState to play a jack in the box role today metaphorically speaking-suprise suprise ) Mississippi State is in a look ahead revenge mode for their SEC season opener against Kentucky next week and may not be fully focused here, giving us value with the dog. New Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman, has won 23 away games in a row and knows how to get his troops prepared in the visitors role. CFB Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (KANSAS ST) - after scoring 42 points or more in 2 straight games are 43-15 ATS L/5 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors. CFB road team (KANSAS ST) - allowing 225 or less total yards/game over their last 2 games, with an experienced QB vs. opponent with inexperienced QB are 93-47 ATS L/27 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

09-14-19 | Eastern Michigan +8 v. Illinois | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 75 h 23 m | Show | |
Lovie Smiths Illinois is up-trending, with two straight wins to start their campaign but Im betting they will have their hands full with a Eastern Michigan side that is 21-7-1 ATS in its last 29 on the road. Meanwhile, Illinois is just 4-10 ATS in its last 14 versus an opponent from the MAC and still don't have a winning culture in place as is evident by going 13-57 Su in regular season games over the last 12 seasons. Yes, Eastern Michigan lost to Kentucky last week 38-17 and failed to cover as 16 point dogs, but this hard nosed never say die group deserves our respect as does the football program that has gone 12-1 ATS L/13 vs .500 or better opposition and that is 7-0 ATS in road games after 1 or more consecutive straight up losses over the last 3 seasons.

Tonights tilt at NRG Stadium, the home of the Texans will see the vast majority of the crowd rooting for Houston. which Im betting will give them a edge. It must be noted that Washington States HC Leach is just 2-7 ATS in weekday games and 5-14-2 ATS going against .500 or better non-conference opposition . Leach is also 0-7 ATS in road games after 2 consecutive games where they forced 3 or more turnovers in all games he has coached since 1992. With a top tier coach Dana Holgorsen, who stands 17-1 SU in non-conference games. and a Houston Cougars football program that are 13-1-1 ATS as 2 or more points underdogs we have a viable side to back here tonight on ESPN. CFB Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (HOUSTON) - in non-conference games, in the first month of the season, bowl team from prior season who lost their last 2 games are 64-27 ATS L/27 seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors.

09-07-19 | Miami-FL v. North Carolina +5 | 25-28 | Win | 100 | 32 h 35 m | Show | |
Mac Brown return as coach of North Carolina was impressive as he took out rival South Carolina. Now coming home his young men are feeling confident, which the same cannot be said, about a Miami Fl side that was run over by a speedy Florida D in game one losing by a 24-20 count. Last week the Gamecocks had just 270 total yards and went 3 for 13 on third down and Im betting they can slow the Canes in this spot. Meanwhile, N.Carolina;s new Offensive coordinator Phil Longo, previously of Ole Miss knows how to fire up a offence with different looks and Im betting he has this Canes D on their heels here today. Possible upset in the making , which makes getting points here a viable investment opportunity. HC Mac Brown’s career numbers are 14-0 last fourteen home openers) and 4-0 ATS as a conference home dog against opposition coming off a loss like the Miami Canes.

Western Michigan has one the most talented experienced returning groups in the nation ( production wise) and won't be intimidated by the Michigan State Spartans. Considering look ahead tilts to Arizona State and Northwestern on deck over the next couple of weeks, Dantonio and company may not be fully focused on this up trending opponent which gives us value taking the underdog here. The Spartans are just 3-14 ATS L/17 at home in non conference action and 0-5 ATS L5 as 14 or more favourites. MLB Road underdogs (W MICHIGAN) - good offense from last season - averaged 400 or more total yards/game, after out-gaining opp by 125 or more total yards in their previous game and 48-18 ATS L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate.

09-07-19 | Wyoming v. Texas State +7 | 23-14 | Loss | -115 | 127 h 44 m | Show | |
Wyoming according to my projections is being over rated here vs Texas State. Giving us value taking the points . Texas State had the No. 5 defense in the Sun Belt Conference in 2018, allowing 383.9 yards per game. Almost everyone returns this year and should continue to uptrend. With new HC Jake Spavital’s at the helm of the team the offence should also see improvement. The old ball coach has proven himself over and over again with seven previous coaching stops, his last three as an offensive coordinator for Power 5 schools.Texas State trails 2-1 in the all-time series, but the hosting team has won each game. Home field advantage will be the difference maker here again this week vs Wyoming. Bohl is 6-15 ATS in September games as the coach of WYOMING CFB Home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (TEXAS ST) - after allowing 6.25 or more yards/play in their previous game, with 8 or more offensive starters including the QB returning, in the first month of the season are 22-3 ATS L/26 seasons for a 88% conversion rate for bettors.

Florida International-was crushed last week vs Tulane 42-14, while Western Kentucky came out flat and was upset loss vs FCS Central Arkansas 35-28 as 10 point favs. There is a new HC in Western Kentucky as Helton takes over and gets 10 returning starters to build with. It might not seem like it after getting upset by a FCS side, last week but returning production and S&P+ projections for telling the Hilltoppers to improve to 101st overall, with a 6-6 record brings hope . With all 5 starters back on the O-line Im expecting bigger and better things from this Hilltoppers offence as the season progresses, starting today vs Florida International team that allowed 42 points to Tulane side that struggled mightily on offence last season. FLA INTERNATIONAL is 9-21 ATS after being outrushed by 150 or more yards last game since 1992. CFB Road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (W KENTUCKY) - in conference games, off a upset loss as a double digit home favorite are 48-16 ATS L/27 seasons for a 75% conversion rate for bettors.

Maine is as tough as nails defensively behind their now infamous “Black Hole” defense that returns almost all their starters. The Black Bears rush D, was of the top tier variety last season on the FCS and they will once again be hard to run against and more than prepared to slow down Georgia Southern’s triple option attack. Meanwhile, with Georgia Southerns junior quarterback Shai Werts is banged up after last weeks run in with LSU and less than 100% the Eagles are being over rated. Bottom line here this is a nasty FCS group that Georgia Southern will face here today and a win wont come easily for them, thus Im recommending we take the points.

UCLA still looks like its going to be while before they morph into a better team as last week they managed just 218 yards and 14 points against Cincinnati. Now this week off a tough as nails San Diego State D, that shut out their opening week opponent , the Bruins will once again having issues putting points on the board. The Bruins Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson looked like a deer lost in headlights at times in week one, and his PTSD experience of fumbling twice and throwing two interceptions should spark more atrophy here.On the flip side I know San Diego State Quarterback Ryan Agnew did not look good last week and his top tier running back Juwan Washington on a tender ankle had just 55 yards last week in their 6-o win but, I don't think they wanted to open their play book and give the Bruins anything to look at. This week will be different. Aztecs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.Aztecs are 16-5 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. Bruins are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 non-conference games.Bruins are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games in September.Bruins are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games after accumulating less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.

Texas A&M head coach has beaten Clemson or stayed within 10 points in a loss in previous recent meetings. This Texas A&M team is built to stand tall against teams like Clemson and Im betting we have value taking points here this week. TEXAS A&M is 12-1 ATS after playing a game at home over the last 3 seasons. ( Texas A&M beat Texas St in week 1 at home)Fisher is 21-7 ATS after allowing 75 or less rushing yards last game in all games he has coached since 1992.

Colorado won last year's meeting 33-28 in Lincoln and despite of Nebraska wanting revenge and their stock in an up-trending mode Im betting the Buffaloes will be a hand full for them. The Huskers despite of always getting alot of public support have lost 7 straight road games and if they end their current negative run Im betting it won't come easily. The Buffaloes smashed Colorado State last week 52-31. Note:Buffaloes are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.Buffaloes are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game.

Boise State after travelling out to the east coast and erasing a DD deficit for a win vs Florida State last week will now be in a letdown spot. Yes, it is the Broncos home opener, but according to my power rankings Marshall is the type of team that is built to stay competitive against this type of opponent via a already solid defence and offence that has enough returning starters to make some noise. Harsin is 0-7 ATS as a home favorite of 10.5 to 14 points as the coach of BOISE ST. Harsin is 1-9 ATS after gaining 375 or more passing yards in last game as the coach of BOISE ST.

Texas upset Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, 28-21 and since than Longhorns nation has been standing proud. . However, with starting QB Ehlinger now having to deal with three of his starting offensive linemen gone and current group RBs banged up in camp as per reports Im betting the sledding could be a lot tougher than many might expect. On defence the Longhorns have to replace three starting defensive linemen, two LBs and both starting CBs. I know that Texas will be motivated to honour former RB Cedric Benson who passed a couple of weeks ago in a motorcycle accident, but covering the number here could still prove difficult considering the alliterations this football program will have to endure here early in the season. Meanwhile, HC Skip Holtz remains a very good coach and operates and recruits a never say die group of kids that have endured five 1-point losses over the last three seasons. Im betting he once again makes life difficult for an opponent, and gets us the cover. It must be noted that Texas has failed to cover 19 of their L/27 as non conference favs while Holtz on the other hand thrives in the underdog role cashing (49 of the L/63 times for a 77% conversion rate for bettors).Holtz is also 34-16 ATS as a road underdog in all games he has coached since 1992.

LSU's Orgeron is a well liked coach, but from a bettors perspective his backers may not be all that fond of him considering his 0-4 ATS record in his last four non-conference home games, and his 1-4 ATS record as a favorite of 21 or more points. It must also be noted last season, against SE Louisiana a lower tier football team, the Bayou Bengals looked very average and unmotivated. Today a under rated Georgia Southern team off a 10 win campaign must not be underestimated in their abilities to find a way to cover here today vs a behemoth SEC foe.HC Chad Lunsfords reinstatement of the power running game, made GSouthern dangerous and nothing changes today. The Eagles are 3-0 ATS all time vs SEC and have covered 5 of their L/6 as 20 point or more underdogs. With Texas on board for Oregeron and company, the Tigers full attention, might be lacking making them unreliable favs here despite of public perceptions.

Meanwhile, Duke HC Cutcliffe is 15-3 SU lifetime in season openers with the three losses coming by an average of 5.56 ppg. The Blue Devils return the top two rushers and the most experienced part of their defense. abd look fairly solid and more than capable of being competitive. Meanwhile, Alabama loses Damien Harris and most of the offensive line and it must also be noted that this game is being played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where QB Tagovailoa had a bad game while looking uncomfortable playing on that surface ,converting just t 10-of-25 passes for just 165 yards and 2 interceptions against Georgia in the SEC Championship game. Could this environment trigger a PTSD event? Im betting it does . DUKE is 6-0 ATS as an underdog over the last 2 seasons.DUKE is 24-8 ATS in games played on turf. ALABAMA is 8-19 ATS when the total is between 56.5 and 63 since 1992.DUKE is 28-13 ATS when the total is between 56.5 and 63 since 1992. Take the points with Duke to cover |

Superdome - New Orleans, LA The Mississippi State Bulldogs delivered 8 wins last season and ranked No. 1 in the nation in defence and this season Im betting their offence chips in and makes this side very under rated. Meanwhile, the Ragin Cajuns despite of a top tier recruiting class and success last season in a 7 win campaign, are over matched here today. The Cajuns might be out looking for revenge for a 56-10 smash down last season to the Bulldogs, but Im betting they will fail as they make it 36 straight losses to a SEC school. Note: UL-Lafayette are an ugly 0-28 ATS in their last 28 SU home losses versus lined opponents. CFB Favorites of 10.5 to 21 points (MISSISSIPPI ST) - excellent rushing team from last season - averaged 5.25 or more rushing yards/carry are 81-36 ATS L/27 seasons for a 69% covnersion rate for bettors.

Toledo continues to recruit top tier offensive players as was evident by scoring at least 50 points in six games during their 2018 campaign, and something that will aid them covering here today . Meanwhile, Kentucky is a depleted team with players going to the NFL and other departures that no longer make them a contender in the SEC. Mark Stoops has his work cut out for him this season, and some serious regression is not out of the question. It must be noted as far as this matchup is involved the Wildcats are being over rated in my humble betting opinion. Note Kentucky is 1-7 ATS as home favourite the past two seasons, while the Rockets are 7-2 ATS in road openers . The MAC owns a 9-0 ATS L/9 record vs SEC opposition. KENTUCKY is 0-6 ATS in home games in non-conference games over the last 3 seasons. CFB road team (TOLEDO) - poor defense from last season - allowed 400 or more total yards/game, with 5 defensive starters returning, in the first two weeks of the season are 61-27 L/27 seasons for a 69% conversion rate for bettors.

This bet is not so much about Lovie Smiths Illinois even though Im betting they will be significantly better this season, but this bet is rather about the matchup discrepancies here today , that favor Illinois. The Zips have a completely new coaching staff, and only have a couple returning starters on the defensive side of the ball back, and a new offensive scheme that will take time to be cohesive.I know the MAC has a reputation for doing well against the Big10 in the past, but today the Big 1o will dominate . Illinois in their 4 wins last season averaged 39.5 ppg so they can score when in a groove and should prove even better this season. Overall from a historical standpoint it must also be noted that Illini have won 21 straight home openers by an average of 24 points per game. CFB Favorites of 10.5 to 21 points (ILLINOIS) - excellent rushing team from last season - averaged 5.25 or more rushing yards/carry are 81-36 ATS L/27 seasons for a 69% conversion rate for bettors.

Last season the Michigan State Spartans ranked 127th in scoring nationally and put up an average of 8 ppg in their final 4 tilts. It was a frikin embarrassment. However, Im betting they will be improved this season , but tonight they might not show off their improved attack and playbook options as the Spartys have a reputation for staring slowly failing to cover 4 of their L/5 openers and are also 0-6 ATS as home chalk of more than 17 points. Meanwhile, Tulsa behind head man Phil Montgomery have really been bitten the by the injury bug the last couple of seasons, but have remained fairly competitive behind a under rated D as they have eight one-possession losses, Note:The Golden Hurricane were ranked eighth in the country in pass defense last season. With alot of experience returning this season and Montgomerys need to post some wins to save his job Im betting on him pulling out all the stops this season. Considering Tulsa has covered 6 of their L/7 ATS as a under dog of 20 or more points they get my support here vs what we can usually count on to be a disinterested Mark Dantonio group.

08-30-19 | Rice +22 v. Army | 7-14 | Win | 100 | 58 h 56 m | Show | |
Army had a tremendous season in 2018, and some regression must be expected this around especially with their two top Full Backs gone, and a new defensive coordinator in the fold . But hey Art Monkin has done a great job with the Black Knights and they should be fine this season. However today they go against a very under rated Rice squad with a huge amount of returning experience in the lineup, and with some luck the Owls won't be as injury prone as last season ie ( 4 QBS played last year). Army because of their recent success is now a public team but because of this we are getting a decent line to bet into here with the underdog, especially considering that I highly doubt that Army will open up their playbook this week with Jim Harbaughs Michigan up next. I also expect the Knights may not play their starters late into this tilt, which gives credence to back door cover opportunities if need be. Note: Rice HC Bloomgren has said he has been preparing for Army's Triple option since last February. Rice has cashed 10 of their L/15 as 20 point or more dogs. Army has failed to cover 15 of their L/24 as DD favorites( 38%). Army is 4-11 ATS L/15 season openers. CFB Home favorites of 21.5 or more points (ARMY) - good defense from last season - allowed 315 or less total yards/game, with an experienced QB vs. opponent with inexperienced QB, in the first two weeks of the season are 16-44 ATS L/27 seasons for a go against 73% conversion rate for bettors.

Texas State Im betting is a under rated commodity here in game 1 vs respected Texas A&M football program However, this Bobcats team is loaded with experienced players with 19 returning starters and the O-Line completely intact. Meanwhile, the Aggies, despite of a decent season last year, have to now endure a new batch of players on defence, having to replace 6 of 7 players in the front 7, which will effect them here today. With Clemson up next for Texas A&M concentrating on this matchup, could be difficult. Texas State has also been solid as an underdog of 20 or more points cashing 5 of their L/6 opportunities, and Im betting they don't roll over so easily here, and find the way to get us a cover on a almost 5 TD spread. Bobcats are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.Bobcats are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games on grass.Bobcats are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Aggies are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games in August.Aggies are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 Thursday games. Play on Texas State to cover |

Coach Chip Kelly has 19 returning starters in the lineup and come into this season with experience and momentum after outgunning 3 of their L/4 opponents last season. Meanwhile, the Bearcats despite of being fairly solid team , are 0-4 ATS L/4 in non conference home games and according to my projections could get lit up by QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and RB Joshua Kelley who could have a big day vs a D, that has lost their 3 top players from last season. With instate rivals Ohio State on deck, we may not see the Bearcats fully focused and unreliable favs. Play on the UCLA Bruins to cover |

Both teams were of the top tier variety on the defensive side of the ball last season, with both ranking in the top-25 nationally for total defense. Im betting on more of the same this season, and for this particular battle to be won on the defensive side of the ball in the trenches. Look for Redshirt freshman QB Jarren Williams to do more than enough to get the Canes to the promised land and get us the cover. This is a huge instate non conference rivalry game that Im betting will be hard fought, thus making getting points a value investment option. Underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

FIESTA BOWL - State Farm Stadium - Phoenix, AZ UCF has won 25 straight games, and what Im betting to happen here is that despite of them going against a very strong SEC team, without their starting QB McKenzie Milton, they wont go down without a fight . Look for highly talented backup Darriel Mack who led his team to a 56-41 come from behind victory vs Memphis in the season finale to lead this team again, and for this very athletic and deep UCF group to get us the cover . With almost a month to prepare for the Bayou Tigers, Im very sure the Knights will be very ready to compete.

LIBERTY BOWL - Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium - Memphis, TN We all know the Big 12 is all about offence, but when it counts there are teams like Oklahoma State that can be counted upon to make key stops. What Im betting here today is for the Cowboys to go toe toe and punch for punch with Missouri offensively, but in key junctures of the game to show their ability to stand tall. You have to remember Oklahoma State took on some extremely explosive offenses in Big 12 action (ie Oklahoma ) and stood tall, losing by just one point 48-47 count, and have the capabilities to not only cover here but pull off the upset as more than TD dog.

REDBOX BOWL - Levi's Stadium - Santa Clara, CA Michigan State has shown a propensity to not to be able to the move the chains consistently against any team for most of this season. Their games are ugly in the trenches affairs, and the Spartans are like vultures just waiting around for fumbles and turnovers in an effort to try to find the end zone. Im betting the trend continues and Oregon musters out a win vs my nomination for the Ugly Betty football team of the year. MICHIGAN ST is 6-16 ATS in road games after failing to cover the spread in 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games and 10-28 ATS after scoring 7 points or less in the first half in 2 straight games.

The Purdue offense finished 14th in the country in yards per play at 6.53 and Im betting Auburns pedestrian attack will not be able to keep up. Look for QB David Blough who completed 66.6% of his passes, and he threw for 25 touchdowns to shine in this Bowl tilt and lead his team to a cover.

This is essentially a home game for Baylor here in the Texas Bowl at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. With key WR Jalen Hurd out for the Bears, some might think their now not a viable choice here, but they would be mistaken, as the Bears have a couple of options at their disposal and ready to reset their look vs a Vanderbilt D, that has looked atrocious at times this season. Baylor HC Rhule is 10-2 ATS in road games after allowing 100 or less rushing yards last game in all games he ha coached and 29-15 ATS as an underdog in all games he has coached. CFB Underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (BAYLOR) - after having lost 2 out of their last 3 games against opponent after having won 3 out of their last 4 games are 73-36 ATS L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Miami after a mid season swoon, went on to win its final two regular- season tilts against Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh in dominating fashion, largely because of its defense that ranks No.2 in the nation in Total D. With that said, Look for the Badgers passing game to stall vs an impressive Canes secondary and for their key mode of moving the chains RB Johnathon Taylor to find the sledding tough vs a staunch physical D. Meanwhile, Miami will find a way to score enough points here vs a inconsistent Wisconsin D and get us the win and cover.

Troy plays a strong brand of hard nosed defensive old school football that Im betting will give Buffalo's some times prolific offence problems. That was the case when Buffalo lost the MAC Championship to N.Illinois another team that plays a similar type of football to Troy. Note: Troy has not allowed more than 21 points in its L/5 games. BUFFALO is 2-12 ATS in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%).

FRISCO BOWL - Toyota Stadium - Frisco, TX Ohio's Frank Solich has an explosive offensive team, but San Diego State despite of 3 consecutive losses to finish out their season are a side that must not be underestimated , especially with HC Rocky Long on the side lines. With that said, in a battle, that will feature the Aztecs’ No. 4 ranked rush defense (95 YPG and 2.7 YPR) and Ohio’s big time rushing offense (262 YPG and 6.1 YPR) I feel a stalemate type of game will be played with the points eventually proving to be golden. Long is 9-2 ATS in road games versus excellent offensive teams - averaging 450 or more yards/game as the coach of SAN DIEGO ST.SAN DIEGO ST is 11-2 ATS in road games after a loss by 3 or less points which happened in Hawaii In their last game of the season.

CAMELLIA BOWL - Crampton Bowl - Montgomery, AL I was little surprised at how this line opened, so I looked as deep into this bowl game, and found no key injuries or news that would effect it. Georgia Southern is a very good team and own a 9-3 record compared to Eastern Michigan’s 7-5 recored. Yes, Eastern Michigan is a tough under rated team, but despite of being competitive don't have a killer instinct and consistently find ways to lose close games. Meanwhile, Georgia Southern should have more of their fans here than E.Michigan, because of the proximity of the location of this football game, and thus have more support in what will likely be a mostly empty stadium. Bottom line: Georgia Southern is pound the ground type of offence , ranked 9th in the nation ( rush offence ) 260.8 ypg and have an advantage vs E.Michigans, 93rd ranked rush D that allows an average 4.43 ypc, and 192.9 ypg. The Southern Eagles get my support here on a short line. CFB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (E MICHIGAN) - after going under the total by 35 or more points total in their last three games, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are just 6-26 ATS L/10 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.

BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME - Lucas Oil Stadium - Indianapolis, IN Thanks to Ohio State absolute obliteration of Michigan last week, 62-39, we have a nice value line to bet into backing Northwestern. When a team like Ohio State exerts that much emotional and irrational exuberance in one game, an emotional letdown scenario usually follows them into the next game. We all know that Ohio State has consistently played down to opponents this season, and that despite of their defence playing well last week, have showed themselves over and over again to be porous to say the least. Urban Meyers has failed to cover 5 straight as a DD conference favorite, while the Wildcats HC Pat Fitzgerald is 8-1 ATS L/9 as a DD dog and overall 7-1 ATS in conference action this season.

Now the Dawgs who are 6-1 ATS L/7 with SEC revenge and have cashed 6 straight times as underdogs in this series are the team I recommend backing as Georgia according to my rankings actually matchup well vs a side, that has yet to be tested this season.

California has been outgunned in 4 straight games and was pounded by Colorado last week, and somehow still found a way to win. The Golden Bears biggest problem is that just can't score, and have failed to gain 300 yards overall in four straight games. Today however, Im betting their luck will run out against a team that is much better than their record might indicate. Bottom line here is you have to score to beat Stanford, and Cals passing game is less than viable, and the running game is putrid in trouble against strong Cardinal defensive front .The Bad News Bears are not going to be able to keep up on the scoreboard. Stanford has won 9 straight meetings in this series and the L/4 here at Cal dating back to the 2010. Last week, Stanford beat UCLA 49-42 , but that a good omen as STANFORD is 20-4 ATS in road games after a playing a game where 70 total points or more were scored and HC Shaw is 7-0 ATS in road games after a playing a game where 70 total points or more were scored.

BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME - AT&T Stadium - Arlington, TX Oklahomas body of work this season despite of star QB QB Kyler Murrays heroics have not impressed me, with their only really top tier outing coming vs West Virginia. The Sooners are erratic to say the least as their defence has allowed 46, 47, 40 and 56 points in the last four games and the word champion if they win today must be used loosely.

With that said, I wont be surprised if the Trojans play their best game of this season this Saturday for the Irish to may not be so lucky. It must also be noted that the Trojans are 6-0 ATS as home pups with a below .500 record and the visitor in this series i 0-5 ATS L/5 meetings and USC is 8-3 ATS when hosting this series.

The Governor's Cup matchup at Louisville's Cardinal Stadium between the Cardinal and Wildcats is best summef up by the following quotes: "In a rivalry game you can throw the records out the window," Stoops said. "We're worried about ourselves and playing the best football we can and just finishing. "I think anytime you play a rival, the guys on the other side are going to play harder," said Louisville interim coach Lorenzo Ward, whose Cardinals (2-9) haven't won since a 20-17 decision over Western Kentucky back on Sept. 15. "It's about pride, so you can throw the records out. Regardless of how a season's gone, it's still the same as if we were undefeated."

Michigan is a team on a mission this season, but their going into a place that will be extremely unwelcoming, against a side that has won 6 straight and 13 of their L/14 games playing with a chip on their shoulders as they have been shredded for being pretenders because of what many are saying is a weak defence. Today in contrarian fashion I expect the Buckeyes D, will stand tall, and for super star QB Dwayn Haskins and company to make Michigan amazing D, to look human. Ohio State are 7-1 ATS L/8 as home dogs versus .900 or better opposition , and a perfect 8-0 100% ATS as home dogs of +2.5 or more points.

The Herd comes in playing its best ball of the season, winning four of their last five games while holding their three last opponents to season low in yards. With some important play off implications on the line here today, I expect Marshall will be primed to bump Florida International off here because if FIU wins they advance to the championship game. Add to that they have revenge on board for a 41-30 loss at home the last time these teams met, and you have a motivated Marshall team in top form to back. CFB Road favorites (MARSHALL) - after allowing 14 points or less in 2 straight games against opponent after a playing a game where 60 total points or more were scored are 58-21 ATS L/10 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors.

When this season started the pundits expected Washington to be one of the best teams in the nation. They are still a fine team, but have subsequently lost their lustre with losses to Utah, California, and Oregon. ( The 3 losses came by 4, 3, 2 points respectively and the games could have gone either way) But now with redemption at hand this senior group of Huskies can upset the Apple cart with a win vs a Washington State (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12) football program playing for its first conference title in 16 years and its first trip to the College Football Playoff. A win in this tilt will also propel Washington into the PAC 12 championship game where they will have a revenge scenario vs Utah to take care of. WSU HC Mike Leach has a fine team, and are a top tier group who deserve respect .

Oklahoma football program owns a 19-1 SU record in their last twenty overall away games, and 17-0 SU in their last seventeen conference away games and Im betting that streak continues when the the dust settles here tonight in this tilt vs the West Virginia Mountaineers. I know the Mounties must be respected with future NFL draft pick Grier under centre, but Dana Holgorsons football crew just cant seem to get over the hump and have failed miserably against to tier football programs in the recent past going just 2-9 SU and 3-8 ATS against .900 or better conference opp. The status quo remains in effect again, as West Virginia finds a way to lose this tilt vs a side that needs a win and to guaranteed a shot at the Big 12 Championship crown.

With redemption on their plate for their ugly loss to Ohio and with the MAC East title on the line Im betting on a huge effort from the Bulls versus a out gunned Bowling Green side.

Two long instate SEC rivals the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Mississippi Rebels go head to head this Thursday night in a game that I have pegged to be alot closer than the lines makers are estimating. This tilt is referred to as the Egg bowl , and in Ole Miss finale this Thursday I expect they will play this like a Bowl game and leave everything on the field. Remember Ole Miss cannot play in a real Bowl game because of NCAA sanctions and penalties. Look for Rebels super star WRS, A.J. Brown and D.K. Metcalf, who all could be first-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft to go all out here in what will their final college football games of their careers. Last years game was physical and closely contested with the Rebs coming away with a 31-28 win, after blowing a big lead. With that said, I look for another war here and for the points to end up being golden. The Rebs are 7-3 SU and 6-3-1 ATS in the last 10 home Egg Bowls Bulldogs are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Underdog has cashed 5 of the L/6 meetings.

I know Khalil Tate is a star QB, and gives Arizona a chance when he is healthy , but this is not a good situation for the Wildcats as they will have problems on the defensive side of the ball dealing with the Cougars deadly aerial attack and a overall 10-0 mark in the ITS battles. ***Cougars quarterback Gardner Minshew II, the nation's leader in passing yards per game (385.2), and a Washington State attack that leads the nation in passing yards per game (392.3).

It must be noted that Coastal Carolina Chanticleers do not make alot of mistakes , which is not a good omen for a Georgia Southern side, that has a 21 turnover margin this season. Georgia S. has failed to cover 6 straight vs teams like Coastal that have one or less turnovers a game on average. The Chanticleers have two games left and they need to grab a win to be bowl eligible, which makes them motivated home dogs.

Meanwhile, Minnesota upset and pounded the Purdue Boilers, 41-10, as a 10.5-point home dog. The Gophers still need one win in their last two games to go bowling and will go all out here to beat Northwestern , because the following week sees them go to Wisconsin. I know Northwestern somehow clinched the West this season, but they are far from being a top tier side, as is evident by an offence that is ranked No. 112 in the nation and that has been out yarded by an average of 23 YPG. Add to that Minnesota has also had this game circled and have revenge on board for a nasty 39-0 loss in Evanston last season and you have a viable wagering opportunity backing the home dog Gophers\.

TCU rushing attack was down right bad last week vs West Virginia, but should do much better here vs a Baylor side that is a league worst against the rush allowing 183.8 yards a game on the ground. TCU has the best third-down defense in the league, limiting opponents to a 33.1 percent conversion rate in those situations (47-for-142).Baylor, strength offesnively has been meanwhile, third downs by converting 45.5 percent (66-for-145) , but in a close game TCU D, looks set to be the difference maker.

Boise State is coming off a huge win vs Fresno State at home last week by a 24-17 count, and should now be in an emotional letdown spot coming into this game against New Mexico. I know the Lobos don't inspire bettors, after a disappointing season and 5 straight losses, but according to my own projections this point spread and taking points with the home dog has value attached to it. Look for the backfield of Tyrone Owens, Zahneer Shuler, and Ahmari Davis, and Daevon Vigilant to churn out yards and get us the cover. Note :the last time the Lobos played a team at home of Boise States calibre they hung with San Diego State losing by just one TD, so its not like they cannot be competitive, because they have proven they can. Head coach Bob Davie’s tenure is due to end. but Im betting he will have his troops primed to pull off an upset here in what will be their version of a bowl game. HC Harsin is 2-10 ATS vs. poor passing defenses - allowing 8 or more passing yards/att. as the coach of BOISE ST NEW MEXICO is 11-2 ATS in home games off 3 straight losses against conference rivals and the football program is 40-20 ATS L/60 vs. good offensive teams - scoring 31 or more points/game.Davie is 18-8 ATS when the total is between 56.5 and 63 as the coach of NEW MEXICO.

Houston gets to many accolades from the media , and are just not living up to expectations as this season progresses, something that has been a common theme with them over the last few seasons. They have a load of talent but game preparation and inconsistency remains a problem, as does a defence that has allowed an 500+ypg and has also given up 2,049 yards in its last four games including 44 ppg. Meanwhile, Tulane has quietly gotten better as this season, has progressed behind a hard nosed defence and an offence that has steadily improved over their L/4 trips to the gridiron. HOUSTON is 0-6 ATS off 2 or more consecutive overs over the last 3 seasons and has failed to cover 3 of the L/4 meetings in this series. Tulane is 6-1 ATS L/7 as a 10 point or less underdog.

I know Cal has covered 3 straight but they have also been outgunned in 3 of their L/4 overall. With both teams needing a win to get a Bowl invite, Im betting both will be primed to play but home field advantage will be the difference maker. The USC Trojans have owned this series vs California in the past and are 17-1 SU in their last 18 games at home and are 16-1 against. the Bears in their last 17 meetings overall . USC has won 14 straight vs the Bears, and covered the this weak number in each of those tilts. CFB team (USC) - good rushing team (4.3 to 4.8 YPR) against an average defense (3.5 to 4.3 YPR) after 7+ games, after gaining 275 or more rushing yards last game are 39-14 ATS L/10 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors.

I expect the Warhawks despite of leading the West, wanting revenge for a loss in this series last season, could easily still be caught looking ahead to bigger fish with Louisiana and Arkansas State up next. The Warhawks weakness has been their pass defence, and could easily get torched by Orth this week who has a 65% passer conversion rate.

Believe it or not its not a good bounce back opportunity for the Wildcats as they are just 4-34 all time in this series and have lost their L/13 trips here. In Kentuckys last 4 trips to the gridiron they have averaged just 15 ppg and could easily find themselves up ended by a Volunteers side that upset Auburn as a road dog and lost by just a FG to South Carolina as road pups. Im betting that if Snell and company can muster up enough energy to get the win here it won't come easily making Tennessee a viable home dog.

Meanwhile, the Boilermakers after 3 hard fought battles against Ohio State, Michigan State and Iowa may come into this game pooched and over looking their lower trending opponent.

I know the Froggies Coach Gary Patterson’s has seen his talented up inconsistent team shoot themselves in the foot on numerous occasions this season, but this is a prime opportunity to get just a little bit of redemption so I expect the Horned Frogs to be sky high for this game, and will play loose as they have nothing to lose by not doing so here on the road . TCU under Gary Patterson is 12-2 ATS as a double-digit dog, including 6-0 ATS from Game Ten out. West Virginia is also 1-5 ATS L/6 after playing Texas. W VIRGINIA is 0-8 ATS after covering the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games over the last 3 seasons.TCU is 13-4 ATS in road games after having lost 3 out of their last 4 games. CFB team (TCU) - after 5 or more consecutive losses against the spread against opponent after 1 or more consecutive wins against the spread are 36-10 L/5 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors.

Meanwhile, despite of all the accolades Boise State has gotten from the media, they are no longer a blue carpet dominant team, and have only covered 1 of their 7 vs visiting Mountain West teams with a .700 or better record. The Broncos also are not playing all that well, and look to be at a disadvantage cs aside that is out gaining their opposition by an average of 122 ypg since early September.Fresno State is 14-0 ATS in its last fourteen games versus Mountain West Conference opposition with a .500 record or better and get the nod again this Friday night behind a D, that has allowed a total of 36 points in conference games this season.

11-07-18 | Toledo +3 v. Northern Illinois | 15-38 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 45 m | Show | |
Northern Illinois just clinched a bowl berth with last week’s 36-26 victory vs Akron and look ripe to be in a letdown situation this week vs an explosive Toledo team that has averaged 41 ppg this season. The sled dogs own a tremendous defence, but the Rockets can score against the best of teams, which is going to be a problem for the home team tonight as they have only been able to muster 19.2 ppg on the season, behind an offense that can only be described as methodical and inconsistent. Toledo has won the 2 most recent meetings in this series, and are my choice to cover here tonight. The visitor in this series has only failed to cover one of the L/7 confrontations. Toledo is also 10-2 ATS L/12 weekday games. (Weather conditions during the day 40F, and 28 at night, some wind gusts but nothing series, so no advantage here for N.Illinois as they hoped for inclement weather that would slow down the Toledo attack) TOLEDO is 22-7 ATS off a home blowout win by 28 points or more which happened last time out in a 45-13 win vs Ball State. CFB Road underdogs (TOLEDO) - good rushing team (190 to 230 RY/game) against an average rushing team (140-190 RY/game) are a long term good bet as they are 124-66 ATS L/10 seasons for a 65% conversion rate on the blind for bettors.

BYU plays a methodical conservative brand of football, which was evident in a 7-6 loss to N.Illinois last week, a MAC team that plays a similar type of football. Now this week on the Blue Carpet of Boise State I expect the rip van winkle gridiron crew to be the Mormons approach to this game as they look to slow this tilt down to a snails pace which Im betting will help them stay competitive vs the Broncos. Note: BYU is 20-2-2 ATS L/24 games as road dogs. While Boise State is 0-6 ATS L/6 at home as favorite of 10 to 14.5 points.

Stanford also owns a 15-1 ATS record as visitors after allowing 40-plus points, which happened last time out. Last season Stanford took out the Huskies at home for their 10 win in the L/14 in this series, and right now the way the Huskies are playing revenge will not be enough to get them the payback they want.

Alabama is third in rushing offense and fourth in rushing defense. LSU, which has played a tougher schedule so far, is sixth and seventh in those categories. Im not disputing how great a football program that Alabama has , I'm just looking at value associated with this line as compared to how both teams have looked this season, and LSUs big time home advantage from a historical viewpoint. Hey guys don't me wrong its always tough betting against BAMA, but you have to continue to grab the edges when you can and keep your head up no matter what because those edges make for long term profits! The Tides Tagovailoa looks like a once in a generation type QB in his current form, but he's yet to have to consistently take on real world competition like he will today. With hat said, Ill grab the points here with the two TD+ home dog.

Meanwhile, LA Tech are no pushovers, and have revenge on board for getting clobbered last year at home by the Rebels. It must be noted that MSU has failed to cover 16 of their L/21 non-conference of 20 or more fav points while, LA Tech HC Skip Holtz is 16-3 ATS as a road dog when coming off an underdog situation like he faced last week at Florida Atlantic and perfect 5-0 ATS when coming off a SU underdog victory which he achieved in that above mentioned game.LOUISIANA TECH is also 6-0 ATS in road games after playing a conference game over the last 2 seasons.

After being beat up on an embarrassed last week by Clemson, the Seminoles will be primed for a better showing vs another team (NC State) that was smashed by Clemson and has now lost back-to-back games and dropped out of the Associated Press poll .First-year Seminoles coach Willie Taggart said Monday he thought some of his players quit and that his staff needed "to find the winners" on the team. That was a punishing statement that was made in the media, and now we will see what his team is made of this week. Im betting these kids stand tall this Saturday and give a reeling NC State team a run for their money. Florida State is 10-0 ATS (15.8 ppg) 9-1 SU since Dec 30, 1983 coming off a loss where they allowed at least 42 points , with the lone loss coming by 7 points.

Recent wins and covers vs Syracuse, and Duke and a closely contested battle vs Notre Dame have shown me that Pittsburgh is up trending in a hurry and pose a threat to a very good but over rated Virginia team. Pittsburgh has won and covered the last two meetings in this series, and are live dogs again, and get my support here in this spot getting points.

Temples two losses this season came by 10 points to BC and 7 to Buffalo U.

Last week Western Michigan had their 6 game win streak abruptly come to an end, as a frustrated and angry Toledo team off blowing a late lead to Buffalo U the prior week came in with a full head of steam and upset the Broncos. I also believe Western Michigan was not respecting their opponents enough, and the end result was ugly. Now in redemption mode, Im betting the Broncos come out here ready to resume their previous top tier play vs a Ohio Bobcats team that can score , but that has a lot of defensive deficiencies, despite of garnering some positive D stats vs their last two lowly opponents, Ball St and Bowling Green. I know Ohio destroyed a injury riddled Ball State last week, but the hosts are a much better group and healthier team than Ball State and will give Ohio more then they can handle. I am also not worried who starts under center for Western Michigan as both are terrific Qbs. Note: The Broncos have done well vs struggling secondaries as is evident by 11-2 ATS L/13 record vs. struggling passing defenses - allowing 275 or more passing yards/game . Bobcats are 0-3 ATS L/3 in the first of two consecutive road tilts.

On the other side of the ball, Buffalo leads the MAC in scoring and total defense. I look for them to primed tonight to stop Miami O cold on their own home field and grab a commanding lead in the race for MAC East title. Buffalo also has the motivation of revenge on their sides, as Miami O beat them last season 24-14 at home as 3 point chalk.

Tulane since they upset and beat Memphis seem totally deflated. The Wave defence has been particularly bad, ranking 103rd in total yards allowed with 433.1 yards per game. Meanwhile, despite of failing to notch wins, Tulsa from time to time has looked like a upper echelon side, losing by 1 points to USF, and played Texas tough losing a by a 28-21 count. These teams just can't seem to get over the hump and both are desperate for wins, but Im betting home field advantage will be the difference maker today.

The Tigers (4-3, 0-3 SEC) are the best unranked team in the nation in my humble opinion and are explosive behind the league's No. 3 passing attack with quarterback Drew Lock the key production manufacturer and ranks third in the conference as a passer.Lock's passing total of 1,979 yards ranks behind only Jordan Ta'amu (2,622 yards) of Ole Miss and Alabama's Tua Tagoavailoa (2,066) among SEC's passers.Missouri is coming off a huge 65-33 win over Memphis in which Lock passed for 373 yards and four touchdowns and have momentum entering this tilt vs Kentucky. Meanwhile, Kentucky behind future NFL RB Snell, are a run first team, but Im betting they will not be as productive as usual, vs the Tigers No. 35 ranked rush defense as they hold opponents to just over 131 yards a game. Kentucky has a fine D, but Missouri can light it up against the best of defenses, while their own D can stop the run and have given up most of their yards through the air, which wont matter vs a Kentucky team that is ranked 127th in the nation in passing yards.

I know the football media pundits are heaping accolades on the Houston Cougars and their 3rd ranked offence , but Im not sold on them mostly because of their horrendous D, that is ranked a lowly 117th in the nation. Houston upset S.Florida last season as 10 point road dogs, and now payback is at hand. Note: Houston has failed to cover 9 of their L/10 vs a side with conference revenge. S.Florida continues to win but have failed to cover two straight and have failed to cover. 4 of their L/5 mostly because of hefty lines, but it must be note that Strong is 12-1 ATS in road games after 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread in all games he has coached since 1992.

Nine of those 11 games saw their opposition score 7 or less points in a game. The L/4 games dating back to the 2017 season, have seen Penn State outscore their opposition 218-23. Iowa has a fine team, and rank high in my power rankings, but the Nittany Lions have proven ferocious under the above mentioned perimeters, and are extremely motivated to prove their detractors wrong behind the arm and legs QB star McSorley who completed 42 of 66 passes for 524 yards with three touchdowns and an interception and has added 31 carries for 101 yards and another score against Iowa in his career. In 2016 when Iowa visited Penn State the huge beatdown took place by a 41-14 count. Can it happen again, maybe maybe not, but key here is we get the cover.
