Ole Miss -1.5 over Vanderbilt

Forgive us for breaking one of our own cardinal rules of not asking a bad team to win for us. Forgive us for asking that team to not only win but win on the road. Forgive us for backing a team that the public also likes to the tune of 85%. Forgive us for using Houston Nutt and Ole Miss as our first Key Release of the year. Hopefully, we don't regret it, but we think we can make a strong case for the Rebels.

What can we learn about both teams thus far in 2011? Both look to be improved on the defensive side of the ball, while the jury is still out concerning both offenses. Both teams played respectably against "good" teams, with Ole Miss having the lead on BYU before BYU recovered a fumble in the End Zone for the win and Vandy coming from behind to beat UCONN, who is likely down a notch or two this year. Both teams also beat teams they were supposed to beat, with Vandy beating Elon and Ole Miss beating Southern Illinois. Both did so by wide margins.

We'll call it a wash as far as grading these teams based on their first two games, but note that Vandy is 2-0 while Ole Miss is 1-1. So, in order to further handicap this one, we need to do two things. One, evaluate the current talent as best we can and two, take a look back to last season to see what we can learn.

It should be safe to say that the Ole Miss talent, player for player, is always going to be better than Vanderbilt's. Both of these teams are at the bottom of the recruiting totem pole as far as the SEC is concerned, but let's face it, Vandy faces obstacles that very few programs do. Specifically, their high academic standards. Not that smart kids can't play football, but hey, the talent pool is already small due to the best players going to the well known schools.

To further hammer home this point, one need only look at the wins and losses of the program over any given time frame. Vanderbilt has had six 2 win seasons over the last 10 years! When they weren't busy winning 2 games, they were out winning 4 and 5 games, with one 7 win overachieving year in 2008. If you look at the Ole Miss record over the same time span, the last 10 years, you'll find a couple of 7 win seasons and a couple of 9 win seasons and even a 10 win season. In fact, during the same time span, Ole Miss won 27 more games than Vanderbilt. Better talent, plain and simple. That will never change.

What stands out to us when we look back at Vandy in 2010 was their inability to score points. They averaged just 17 points per game. That's not a stat that's limited to just last year. The year before they averaged 16 points per game and in general rarely average more than 19 or 20. Ole Miss on the other hand, found the end zone. They scored 55 on Fresno, 42 on Kentucky, 31 on Auburn, 36 on LSU and 23 on a good Miss State defense. (Vandy managed just a field goal on LSU and 20 on Kentucky in a losing effort)

You're likely saying yeah, but, Vanderbilt BEAT Ole Miss last year 28-14! Yes they did. Not only that, but Vanderbilt has beaten Ole Miss 4 out of the last 6 times and Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt is 1-2 against them since he took over. All reasons that we feel favor Ole Miss here. Revenge is sweet in college ball, but let's face it, when you're Ole Miss, coming off a 4-8 season, with revenge games against Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn and so on, you kind of have to pick your spots. Which games can you realistically expect to win?

The game is HUGE for Ole Miss and not just because of the realistic chance for a little revenge. It's huge because a loss here would make Ole Miss 1-2 with all of the heavyweights of the SEC still to come. A loss here would likely deflate this team and put their backs squarely against the wall as far as improving upon their 4 wins a year ago and making it to a bowl game. Yeah, this is a must win (aren't they all)

Ole Miss likely has trouble with Vandy because the games come early in the year. A team like Vandy is never going to be very deep. As the season goes on, and the injuries mount, so do the losses. Just the same, we feel Ole Miss is the better team.

The Ole Miss offensive line was tagged by many as a line that could lead Ole Miss to become one of the better rushing teams in the SEC. We'll see. But they'll also be responsible for protecting 2 QB's as both Randall Mackey and Zack Stoudt have seen action.

With both defenses apparently improved, the bottom line for us here is that we feel Ole Miss is the more likely of these two teams to be able to put enough points on the board to win. Other than 28 against these Rebels and 52 against Eastern Michigan, Vandy didn't top the 21 point mark all year. Ole Miss scored more than 21 on 9 different occasions.

New coach for Vandy (James Franklin) who brings plenty of much needed enthusiasm to the program but there has to be growing pains. You can't win games with enthusiasm alone.

We look for Ole Miss to get their revenge here, and, at least temporarily, give some hope to their season as they'll be 2-1 heading into games with Georgia and Fresno. 3* Ole Miss -1.5

Wyoming +10 -120 (4* EB play) Wyoming +290 (1.5*)
This game featured the 10th and 11th ranked offenses with Wyoming being 10th with 540 yards per game. Wyoming defense coming off a solid effort holding Texas State's pistol offense to 189 yards. It's impressive because Texas Tech gave up 331 to them the week before including 256 rushing. The main story here is Offensive Coordinator Gregg Brandon who was the head coach at Bowling Green from 2003-2008. Wyoming has a real talent in dual threat QB Brett Smith who has shown the ability to pass and run and I think that could give Bowling Green big problems. Wyoming has also had more experience with challenging games. Last year they played Texas, Boise, TCU, Airforce, Utah, BYU and San Diego State. They have played well vs. the MAC in the past on the road and actually won At Toledo last year and at Ohio two teams Bowling Green lost to on the road so we know Wyoming can win this game.

There are huge question marks on Bowling Green's team despite the hot start because their offensive line gave up 34 sacks a year ago and only rushed for 62.8 yards per game ranked 120th. On the flip side this defense that really never improved gave up 33.6 ppg and 432 ypg a year ago. They lack size and have absolutely no pass rush that would rattle Wyoming's dual threat QB and true freshmen. Their secondary is young and they have committed a lot of penalties in the early going. Both defenses have shown an ability to show up in the second half, but Wyoming's offense has been much better scoring 21 points in 2H while Bowling Green has averaged 12.5 as it seems teams catch on and the OL does not wear down defenses so far. Wyoming is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 as a road dog and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 overall road games while Bowling Green is 8-21 ATS in their last 29 home games and 6-15 ATS in their last 21 overall as a favorite.

Clemson -3 for 4.4 units-Auburn has been outgained in both games but have managed to pull a magic trick and are 2-0 yet again showing signs of last year’s magic. Clemson’s both games have started out slow in the first half but in the second half have played like monsters. Dabo remembers last year blow up in Jordan Hare and I expect a inspired performance from the Clemson Tigers and Boyd to manage the game and Clemson to pull off a major win for this program with Dabo taking them in the right direction.

4* Pittsburgh / Iowa Over 50.5

This looks like an out-dated line, one that reflects the past Pittsburgh program rather than the current realities of the Panthers under Todd Graham, and also one that contains more of a reference to those strong Iowa defenses of the past, rather then a current edition that could go down as one of Kirk Ferentz’s weakest. So it is easy to get in play here.

While the Pittsburgh offensive execution will be a work in progress as the Panthers switch to the Graham schemes, we can already see that the pace is there – the first two games have averaged 160 offensive snaps, Contrast that with 2010, when the highest snap count all season was just 138. Look for that pace to get even quicker as they offense gets more comfortable, and while the passing game jells it is not bad to have ray Graham on board, the nation’s leading rusher with 322 yards. But while the focus on the new offense has made the headlines, it is the defensive transition that has been even more awkward. They allowed 45 points, 47 first downs and 774 yards at home vs. the likes of Buffalo and Maine, and are clearly not comfortable in their new 3-4 looks, especially with true FR Ejuan Price having to start at LB to replace the injured Dan Mason (Mason will be out again this week).

Iowa can exploit that defense, with James Vandenberg stepping up well at QB, throwing for 426 yards and four TD’s without an INT so far, and NFL-bound Marvin McNutt has already caught 10 passes for 201 yards. But the problems for the Hawkeyes come on the other side of the ball. A DL that had three players drafted by the NFL is in a major rebuilding mode, which showed in struggles to stop a mediocre Iowa State offense as the game went on last week, including the Cyclones getting TD’s on all three of their O.T. possessions.

We are not going to get many shut-down drives here, with both defenses vulnerable, and we will also have a game pace that is going to provide a lot of opportunities.

5 UNIT PLAY (CFB Game Of The Month)

Washington State +5.5 over San Diego State: The Cougars are picked for last in the North Division of the PAC-12, but this still may be the most improved team in the league. Now they take on a SDSU team that is just 2-35-1 vs the PAC-12, and is off a cross-country trip to play Army and then they have a game at Michigan on deck to take on their ex-HC Brady Hoke. Not an easy spot for the Aztecs, and even if the schedule didn't set up this way for them they would still be taking on a tough opponent this week. Washington state hasn't played top notch opponents, but they've done what they should vs inferior opponents and that's crush them. The Cougars have outscored their opponents by 47.5 ppg and outgained them by 295 ypg through their first 2 game. Here's a comparison for ya. In UNLV's opening game vs Wisconsin (one of the best teams in the nation) they got 17 points and 292 yards off that top notch defense, but last week they were only able to grab just 7 points and 138 yards off this improved Wash. State defense. Ok were not gonna confuse this defense with the Badger defense, but what it shows is that the Cougars did what you should vs bad competition. So when I look at the numbers they put up vs their 2 opponents, I say year that's about right. The Aztecs have also played some weak competion, but last week despite their 3 point win over Army they were still outgained by 154 yards in the contest. The Aztec's had a good defense last year, but with 5 starters back I see that group struggling, especially vs a Cougar offense that has put up 600 ypg so far. The Aztec offense will be good this year behind RB Ronnie Hillman, but it won't be near as explosive as last year group that put up 35 ppg last year. Right now their weak link on the offense is at WR where they just aren't getting solid play after having to replace their top 3 from last year. The Cougs came into this season just 5-32 in their last 3 years and this year they have started 2-0 and that will give them confidence in this one, especially vs a SDSU team that is in a tough scheduling spot and that is just 1-11 ATS in their last 12 vs the PAC-Whatever it is now. I look for the outright upset in this one as my CFB GOM.

4 UNIT PLAY

Oklahoma -3 over FLORIDA STATE: Yes I am one of the many that have bought into the hype of the Noles, as I do expect them to have a great year, just not a great game in this one. Last year OU beat FSU by 30 points and I do not feel that the Noles improved enough to close that gap, by 28 points. Yes FSU is improved and will most likely win the ACC and be a top 10 team this year, but Oklahoma is and will be just flat out awesome this year. The Sooners are led by Landry Jones and his is one of the top 3 QB's in the nation and dating back to last year he has put up 376 ypg and 17 TD's in his last 6 starts. Last year vs the Noles he put up 380 yrd and 4 TD's. This is one very good QB. Landry also gets their #2 WR back from suspension in Kenny Stills. Like he needs anymore weapons. The Noles defense is improved over last year and they have allowed just 5ppg and 134 ypg so far, but they really haven''t played anyone yet and they will have all sorts of problems with this high powered OU attack. The OU defense is also strong this year and they held a Tulsa offense that was top 5 in the nation last year and brings back 10 starters this year, to just 14 points. They also did that without DT Stacy McGee who was on suspension, but they get him back this week. The FSU offense will be able to get yards through the air,. But they also need a good running attack to take the pressure off EJ Manuel and this offense. Through their first two games vs shitty competition they have averaged just 4 ypc on the ground. Not gonna get it done here. Oklahoma is Bob Stoops is 11-2 ATS with a line at +3 to -3. The line is only 4 points different than last year while the Noles have improved I just don't think that they did enough to close the gap from the 30 point they lost by last year, even on their home field. OU by 10+ here.

3 UNIT PLAYS

Navy +17.5 over SOUTH CAROLINA: Can the Gamecocks really be up for this one? They opened with a tough fast break game vs E. Carolina in the opener, then had a huge game vs Georgia last week and then have another SEC foe, Vanderbilt on deck. All that is going on for south Carolina and now they have just 1 week to prepare for the option. This is not a good spot for them. SC is 2-0 on the year, but just how good are they? They beat East Carolina by 19 points, but only outgained them by 6 yards and then last week they allowed Georgia to march up and down the field and despite the win they were still outgained by 41 yards. Last week they were very lucky as the Bulldogs made a ton of mistakes and practically gave the game away. SC scored 28 points off TO's and still only won by 3 points. SC's offense has been spectacular so far, but the defense has been bad as they have allowed 390 ypg and 39.5 ppg so far. Navy is 2-0, but their level of competition hasn't been that strong. Their defense was to be a sore spot, with just 3 starters back, but so far they have allowed just 15.5 ppg and having 2 games under their belt should help them as they have some game experience for this one. The option should also help to shorten the game and keep that strong Carolina offense off the field. The Dog is 7-1 ATS when Navy takes on a BCS school and they are 3-0 ATS the last 3 vs Carolina. The Gamecocks have not played all that well so far and are in a classic sandwich spot and Navy has just the right team with just the right offense to keep this one close.

POWER ANGLE PLAY

ILLINOIS -2 over Arizona: This play has a very nice angle attached to it and ill get to that in a moment. This is a very nice spot for the Illini as they are off 2 FCS foes and just have Western Michigan up next. The Sun Devil are not so lucky as they are off a home OT thriller vs Missouri and now have to travel cross-country, before traveling back home to take on USC next week. Ouch. Illinois is going to be a good team this year with 13 starters and 42 of 58 lettermen back from a team that improved from 3-9 in 2009 to 7-6 last year. The offense is led by sophomore QB Nathan Scheelhaase and he has been solid so far hitting 76.7 % of his passes for 213 yards and a 9.9 ypa average. I know its vs shitty competition, but 77% is still outstanding, no matter who your doing it against. The ASU defense has play an FCS and a FBS team and they have allowed teams to hit on 61% of their passes for 237 yards so far. Coming into the year the ASU DB's were ranked among the bottom 3rd in the PAC-12 and it's showing. They will have problems containing Nathan tonight. The ASU offense has been solid out the gate, as was expected as they have put up 504 ypg and have hit 75% of their passes, but this will be the quickest defense they may see all year. Again I know Illinois hasn't played anyone, but they have still allowed just 9 ppg and 223 ypg thus far. Ron Zook has gone 8-1 ATS in his last 9 vs undefeated teams, while ASU is 9-20-1 ATS on the road vs a team with a winning home record. Bpoth offenses are very good, but the Illini have the defensive edge, they are playing at home and catch ASU off a tough game with a look-a-head to USC on deck. Solid Illinois win here. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- PLAY AGAINST any undefeated college football road team off an overtime home win if they are facing a foe that won 15 or more of its previous 32 home games SU.

2 UNIT PLAYS

Colorado State +7.5 over Colorado: Neutral site for this one and the dog is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings, while CSU is 16-8 ATS vs an opponent off BB SU losses and we also note that teams are 3-7 ATS off an OT loss when laying points to an undefeated team. Tough spot for the buffs as they are off a Hawaii trip and then an OT loss to Cal last week with Ohio State on deck. CSU may not have a great year, but they are much improved over last years 3-9 team and they do have bowl aspirations this year and with Utah State and San Jose State on deck they know that a win here could have them at 5-0 before their bye. I expect them to have their “A” game for this one and at least keep it close vs a Colorado team that hasn't played well under the new regime just year.


Notre Dame/ Michigan State Over 51.5: The only thing that has stopped the Irish offense this year has been themselves as they have put up 510.5 ypg of offense, but just 25.5 ppg thanks to 10 TO's. That has translated into an offensive YPP of 20. The Irish pass attack has put up 353 ypg so far and they will be taking on a Michigan State Defense that really hasn't been tested yet, but does have some holes in it's secondary. The Notre Dame defense has not been great thus far, as they have allowed 29 ppg and 353 ypg thus far and could struggle vs a high powered Michigan State offense. 5 of the last 7 in this series has seen 55+ points put on the board and that's about what I expect today.

1 UNIT PLAYS

Iowa/ Pittsburgh Under 50.5: The offenses were not to be that good for these teams heading into the year but their level of week competition has allowed these teams to put up plenty of points so far. Today the defenses take hold of this game and the scoring will be down. Pitt has the best defense in the Big East, while Iowa has a solid Big 10 defense. Iowa's defensive stats are a bit inflated after last weeks 3 OT game, but make no mistake this is a tough bunch. The Under is 13-5 in Pitt's last 18 following an ATS loss, while the Under is 17-6-1 in Iowa's last 24 games in September. I see no more than 45 in this one.


USC/ Syracuse Under 49: Where's the “O”? That''s what the Trojan's are wondering as they have put up just 18 ppg and they have an offensive YPP (Yards per point) of 18.7. Defense will not be aproble for this team as they have 7 starters back to a unit this is considered to the best in the PAC-12. USC's defense played very badly last year but so far have allowed just 15.5 ppg and 310 ypg. The Orange offense just isn't strong enough to do mush damage vs thee Trojans here, while their defense should be up to the task to hold this floundering USU offense down a bit.

Saturday's Best MLB Bets


Florida Marlins at Washington Nationals (-225, 7.5)

After losing sensation Stephen Strasburg for a year to injury already, you’d better believe the Nationals are going to keep him on a tight leash for the rest of the season.

He was great in his first start of the year, firing five shutout innings against the Dodgers while striking out four and walking none earlier this month. Then he looked like he was just settling in during his last start when manager Davey Johnson gave him the hook.

“He has my best interests at heart, and I trust him 100 percent,” Strasburg told reporters after giving up a single earned run over three innings while striking out four Astros. “I’m going to go out there until he says I’m done, and today he said I was done in the third.”

He’s probably only going to get about 55 pitches again this time around, leaving plenty of time for the bullpen to blow it for him.

We’re rooting for the kid, but this line is outrageous with Chris Volstad going for Florida.

Pick: Marlins

Houston Astros at Chicago Cubs (-145, N/A)

The Chicago Cubs have a chance to send the Houston Astros into their franchise record books – and Houston wants no part of it.

The Astros are one loss away from reaching 100 defeats for the first time in team history after Marlon Byrd drove in the winning run in the 12th inning with an infield hit, giving the Cubs a 4-3 victory. The loss spoiled a great performance by Carlos Lee, who smacked a pair of dingers in the losing cause.

The Cubs have now won five of the last seven meetings between the two teams and as we all know by now, the Astros are absolutely terrible on the road. Still, this price doesn’t reflect the matchup.

We see this pitching matchup of Henry Sosa against Rodrigo Lopez as a wash, but Lopez did serve up four jacks in his last trip to the hill. We’ll take a chance on the Astros to avoid their 100th loss for at least another day.

Pick: Astros

NCAACFB NEWS AND NOTES
WEEK 3 COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Top 25 Betting Cheat Sheet
By Adam Thompson


COLLEGE FOOTBALL SATURDAY:

Oklahoma Sooners at Florida State Seminoles (+3, 54.5)
WHY OKLAHOMA WILL COVER: The Sooners hammered the Seminoles 47-17 last year. While FSU is improved, OU’s depth is still superior. Eventually, the Seminoles will wear down.
WHY FLORIDA STATE WILL COVER: This year’s Seminoles are more talented than last year’s. Oklahoma’s defense showed flaws in its opener, allowing 400 yards to Tulsa.
POINTS: Two of the nation’s best offenses under perfect weather conditions could make for an entertaining game.

North Texas Mean Green at Alabama Crimson Tide (-45.5, 53)
WHY NORTH TEXAS WILL COVER: That’s a huge pointspread.
WHY ALABAMA WILL COVER: The Mean Green stands little chance of slowing down the Crimson Tide. And judging by the way Alabama’s defense dominated Penn, this game could get ugly in a hurry.
POINTS: Alabama may have to reach the over by itself, but North Texas has already been blown out by worse teams.

Stanford Cardinal at Arizona Wildcats (+9.5, 53.5)
WHY STANFORD WILL COVER: The Cardinal have already covered spreads of 20 and 30 points. The goal is a national title, and a slip up in a Pac-12 opener seems unlikely. Stanford, which beat Arizona 42-17 last year, doesn’t let up.
WHY ARIZONA WILL COVER: The Wildcats are never out of a game with the passing attack they bring. Being at home, at night, doesn’t hurt.
POINTS: Arizona can score, but its defense was exposed in a 37-14 loss to Oklahoma State. Andrew Luck and Co. will be licking their chops.

Oklahoma State Cowboys at Tulsa Golden Hurricane (+13.5, 68.5)
WHY OKLAHOMA WILL COVER: The Cowboys look like the real deal after blowing out Arizona. A young defense should continue to improve.
WHY TULSA WILL COVER: Tulsa showed offensive promise in a loss to mighty Oklahoma, so the Hurricane could stay close enough until the end.
POINTS: Both teams can score in bunches, especially OSU.

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Northern Illinois Huskies (+16.5, 63.5)
WHY WISCONSIN WILL COVER: Wisconsin is averaging 223 yards passing and 224 yards rushing per game. It doesn’t get more balanced than that. But the strength is still on the ground, and Northern Illinois is 117th against the run so far. Wisconsin is 8-0-1 ATS in its last nine games.
WHY NORTHERN ILLINOIS WILL COVER: The Huskies are averaging 47 points per game, against Kansas and Army. Even if NIU only puts up 35, that forces Wisconsin to score more than 50.
POINTS: Both teams have shown the ability to light up the scoreboard. Can NIU keep it up against a tougher opponent?

Idaho Vandals at Texas A&M Aggies (-35.5, 56.5)
WHY IDAHO WILL COVER: Maybe Texas A&M comes out a little rusty after a week off and Idaho catches it by surprise. All it takes is a little competitiveness to cover a spread of that size.
WHY TEXAS A&M WILL COVER: The Aggies shut down the run-and-shoot style of SMU in a 46-14 win. What’s Idaho going to do? Meanwhile, with nine starters back on offense, Texas A&M should pour it on all day.
POINTS: Idaho’s offense has struggled this season, and that’s not likely to change here.

Washington Huskies at Nebraska Cornhuskers (-17, 54)
WHY WASHINGTON WILL COVER: Washington has scored 40 and 30 points in games so far. The Huskers haven’t been as impressive as expected, 0-2 ATS, and their defense allowed 29 points to a decimated Fresno State squad.
WHY NEBRASKA WILL COVER: The Huskers have a potent offense led by dynamic dual-threat QB Tyler Martinez. Washington has struggled to slow down the likes of Eastern Washington and Hawaii so far. The Huskies could be in for a rude awakening.
POINTS: Both offenses have looked good in the young season, while both defenses have been suspect.

Navy Midshipmen at South Carolina Gamecocks (-17.5, 55.5)
WHY NAVY WILL COVER: Those not ready for the Midshipmen’s style can get sunk in a hurry. Often, it takes squads used to getting by on superior talent to settle down. By then, it may be too late to cover.
WHY SOUTH CAROLINA WILL COVER: The Gamecocks have figured out how to get it done in wins over East Carolina and Georgia. Navy’s defense simply doesn’t have the personnel to stay with the ultra-athleticism of the Gamecocks.
POINTS: USC averages 55.1 points per game, Navy averages 40.0, albeit against pedestrian competition.

Troy Trojans at Arkansas Razorbacks (-22.5, 62)
WHY TROY WILL COVER: Troy’s wide-open offense could give initial troubles to an Arkansas team that’s played subpar competition. Its defensive backfield is considered one of its strengths, which is good against the high-powered Razorbacks.
WHY ARKANSAS WILL COVER: Despite being favored by 41.5 and 37.5 in its games so far, Arkansas has covered just fine. Troy steps up the level of competition for the Hogs, but not enough to think the Trojans can hang.
POINTS: The over is 9-0 in Troy’s last nine games against the SEC. Arkansas will hold up its bargain to make it 10-0.

Michigan State Spartans at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-4.5, 50.5)
WHY MICHIGAN STATE WILL COVER: The Spartans will be Notre Dame’s toughest competition to date. Since the Irish are 0-2, MSU could definitely win outright.
WHY NOTRE DAME WILL COVER: Notre Dame is better on paper than its record. The Irish has faced South Florida and Michigan, while the Spartans have faced Youngstown State (didn’t cover) and Florida Atlantic (won 44-0). They’ll be ready for this high-level competition, will the Spartans?
POINTS: Expect more defense than offense, because that’s what it will likely take for the host Irish to get the job done.

Ohio State Buckeyes at Miami Hurricanes (-3, 47.5)
WHY OHIO STATE WILL COVER: It’s still tough to put points on OSU’s defense, and the offense is its usual mundane, successful self. It also gets back two players from suspension, starting tailback Jordan Hall and corner Travis Howard.
WHY MIAMI WILL COVER: The Hurricanes get nine players back from suspension, including star QB Jacory Harris for their home opener, which should make a world of difference. The Buckeyes struggled against Toledo, hanging on for a 27-22 win.
POINTS: The under is 8-2-1 in OSU’s last 11 road games, and is 6-2-1 in Miami’s last nine games anywhere. Don’t be surprised if a defensive slugfest breaks out.

Tennessee Volunteers at Florida Gators (-9.5, 50)
WHY TENNESSEE WILL COVER: The passing game has been surprisingly solid, averaging 358 yards through the air. If the Vols get behind, it won’t take long to get back in it. Plus, some experts are still waiting for a Florida slide. Tennessee’s easily the best opponent the Gators will have faced.
WHY FLORIDA WILL COVER: The Gators were supposedly in for a transition year, but so far they’re 2-0 ATS, outscoring the opposition 80-3. UF can be overwhelming in The Swamp.
POINTS: The over is 0-2 in Florida games so far, and 2-0 in UT games. When undecided, follow the trend of the home team.

Arizona State Sun Devils at Illinois Fighting Illini (-1.5, 59)
WHY ARIZONA STATE WILL COVER: The Sun Devils are riding the momentum after finding a way to beat Missouri last week.
WHY ILLINOIS WILL COVER: The Illini will go as sophomore QB Nathan Scheelhaase goes, and ASU’s passing defense ranked 101st last year and is 76th so far this year.
POINTS: The over is 7-1 in Illinois’ last eight games as a home favorite, and if Illinois is going to win this one, it’s likely going to take a lot of points.

Auburn Tigers at Clemson Tigers (-3, 59)
WHY AUBURN WILL COVER: The Tigers haven’t looked great, 0-2 ATS, but they’ve found ways to win both games. With a manageable spread this time, the defending national champs find a way again and will likely cover, too.
WHY CLEMSON WILL COVER: Auburn’s defense has allowed 38 and 34 points to Utah State and Mississippi State, respectively. The Tigers’ offense, with eight returning starters, has been clicking, and there’s no indication that will change Saturday.
POINTS: The under is 8-0-1 in Auburn’s last nine games vs. ACC opponents, and it’s 7-2 in Clemson’s last nine vs. the SEC. That said, so far this season both teams have been piling on the points without stopping the foe with regularity.

West Virginia Mountaineers at Maryland Terrapins (-1, 54.5)
WHY WEST VIRGINIA WILL COVER: The Mountaineers haven’t put a full game together yet for first-year coach Dana Holgorsen, and have manhandled the competition. A complete game will put away the Terps.
WHY MARYLAND WILL COVER: Maryland played with major emotion and took care of Miami in its opener. West Virginia is 0-2 ATS against poor competition, while the Terps are 7-1 ATS in its last eight games.
POINTS: The over is 6-1-1 in Maryland’s last eight games, and 9-2 in West Virginia’s last 11 as an underdog. We should see some points.

Texas Longhorns at UCLA Bruins (+3.5, 44)
WHY TEXAS WILL COVER: While the Longhorns’ offense has been mediocre, the defense has been tough, shutting down Rice and BYU in wins (1-1 ATS). With a new QB, maybe Texas’ offense breaks out and wins going away.
WHY UCLA WILL COVER: Texas is going with a new QB in unproven sophomore Case McCoy, which may help an aggressive defense.
POINTS: The under is 8-3 in UT’s last 11 games as a favorite, and 15-7 in UCLA’s last 22 as an underdog. And both offenses are still finding their way.

Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at TCU Horned Frogs (-28.5, 51.5)
WHY ULM WILL COVER: ULM gained confidence by beating down Grambling 35-7. TCU’s defense is still questionable, leaving the chance the Warhawks can at least lose by less than four touchdowns.
WHY TCU WILL COVER: After scoring 48 in a loss at Baylor, the Horned Frogs found their way and hammered Air Force. ULM is overmatched from one end to the other.
POINTS: ULM lost to Florida State 35-0 in its opener. A similar score isn’t out of the question.

Arkansas State Red Wolves at Virginia Tech Hokies (-24, 53)
WHY ARKANSAS STATE WILL COVER: Arkansas State hung with Illinois for a half and dominated Memphis, going 2-0 ATS. The Red Wolves have the skill players to hang, leading one of the nation’s top pass offenses.
WHY VIRGINIA TECH WILL COVER: As usual, it’s tough to score on the Hokies, especially for teams not used to that level of talent and intensity. Virginia Tech will wear down Arkansas State just like Illinois did, and pull away in the second half.
POINTS: The under is 7-2 in the Hokies’ last nine games and 19-6-1 in the Red Wolves’ last 26 on the road.

BANG THE BOOK

Saturday's Best NCAACFB Bets

Auburn Tigers at Clemson Tigers (-3, 59)

This lien says it all. Auburn is 2-0 and is not a favorite against a weak ACC team that almost lost to Wofford? Auburn will come in flat after a big win and come up short on the road. Auburn is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a road underdog and will get beat badly on the road.

PICK: Clemson Tigers -3


Washington Huskies at Nebraska Cornhuskers (-17, 54)

The Huskers are one of the best teams in football, but the offense is still working out some kinks. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games, and the Huskers are 18-5 SU in their last 23 games overall. The Huskies are 5-0 SU in their last five games, and 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games on the road. Washington won’t win, but they will keep this close.

PICK: Washington Huskies +18


Michigan State Spartans at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-4.5, 50.5)

The Fighting Irish have yet to win, but that will change this week against the Spartans of Michigan State. The defense had a late collapse, but the offense has amassed a ton of yardage in each game this year. This game will be a breakthrough as the Irish win and cover.

PICK: Notre Dame Fighting Irish -3.5


West Virginia Mountaineers at Maryland Terrapins (-1, 54.5)

Another interesting line as the Terps are favored although they are hosting a nationally ranked team. The Terrapins are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and should be making news for more than just their uniforms. The Mountaineers are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a win of more than 20 points and lose outright here.

PICK: Maryland Terrapins -1.5

SPORTS WAGERS

ARIZONA +10 +100 over Stanford

10:45 PM EST. Depending on where you shop, you’ll find different prices everywhere for this game. We see a +10 +100 at SIA, a +8½ at Pinnacle and a +9 at BET365 and that’s why it’s always good to have options. Of course we’ll take the best line and play it at Sportsinteraction. Stanford's strength lies with a backfield that returns Heisman finalist Andrew Luck, the team's top three running backs and a solid defense featuring several all-star candidates. But given heavy losses at offensive line, receiver and especially on the coaching staff, the Cardinal is overranked as a top-10 team. The team was sluggish in the first halves of games against San Jose State and Duke and the offense less dominant than the lopsided scores suggest. Stanford has the advantage in the trenches against an Arizona team that is rebuilding both lines, but Arizona quarterback Nick Foles has enough weapons at receiver to shoot it out with Luck and keep the Wildcats in the game. Expect a much better showing from the Arizona defense this week, along with more touches for dynamic freshman Ka'Deem Carey in an attempt to juice up a dormant running game. Mike Stoops is 10-1 against the spread at home against ranked teams since his first year at the helm. Stanford should be a lot better than Arizona at this stage of the season, but this is a bad spot for the Cardinal and the type of game in which the Wildcats typically thrive. Luck might have to direct a comeback for Stanford to get out of the desert unbeaten. Play: #185 Arizona +10 +100 (Risking 2 units).


CLEMSON –3 over Auburn

12:00 PM EST. After watching Mississippi St. not being able to move five yards on LSU on Thursday night, Auburn’s 41-34 win over the Bullies last week suddenly doesn’t look so good. If that pedestrian MSU offense racked up 34 points on Auburn, it’s scary to think what Clemson will do. So, while Auburn was playing an intense-filled game against the Bulldogs last week, Clemson was playing a less focused game against Wofford. It was a close and scary call for the Clemson Tigers but they held on for a 35-27 victory and their focus will be 100 % better today. Auburn, which has been outgained by 234 yards so far, is still a rebuilding team that is bot close to being the 21 st ranked team in the nation. They’re getting way too much credit here against an offense that could absolutely tear them apart. This is the statement game for which Clemson has waited all offseason, and the host will not disappoint. Play: #110 Clemson –3 (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).


Arkansas State +24 over VIRGINIA TECH

4:00 PM EST. This is another case of a team being falsely ranked, as the Hokies come in #23 in the country after beating Appalachian State and East Carolina. Big deal. They barely got by the Pirates and there are at least 40 teams better than this one-dimensional club from Blacksburg. Va Tech has some more important fish to fry coming up. They play Marshall next week and then they open up ACC play. Virginia Tech could be caught napping and they can't fix their broken passing game in a week. Arkansas State is a senior-laden outfit that sports enough offensive playmakers to dent the scoreboard a few times, and a defensive front seven that won't get completely run over. The Red Wolves racked up over 600 yards last week on Memphis and while things get much tougher here, this game is a lot more interesting to the Red Wolves than it is to the Hokies. The Red Wolves hang around in this one. Play: #189 Arkansas St +24 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).

COLORADO -7 over Colorado St. 10 Dimes
Michigan St. +5 over NOTRE DAME 10 Dimes
Virginia +10.5 over NORTH CAROLINA 10 Dimes

3 Match-ups for you today. As you can see, all relatively small plays. I didn't get the line movement that I had expected on a few of the games that I was watching throughout the week and I don't expect it to happen now, so that leaves us with Colorado, MState and Virginia.

Let's get back to baseball where we look to continue our 6-0 run, for the remaining play on this card.

Los Angeles -160 over BALTIMORE 5 Dimes
(Risk 8) List: Santana/Britton

Britton is a young pitcher who has all of the promise in the world, but the kid has just looked rattled on the mound lately. Be it the bad defense behind him, the hitter's ballpark that he pitches in, or just utter lack of purpose (pitching on a non-contender), the kid has hit his low point. Take the team with an outside chance at a playoff spot.

JACK HOWARD


Oklahoma -3 Over Florida State 20 Dimes
Both teams return the majority of their starters from last year, but what separates Oklahoma from FSU is the quarterback position. The Seminoles will be relying on first year quarterback EJ Manuel while the Sooners will have the experienced Landry Jones under center. The only way I can see Florida State winning this game is if they can get the ground game going. Even then, I think Oklahoma has too much firepower.
Prediction: 34-20 Oklahoma

West Virginia +1 Over Maryland 10 Dimes

SPORTS WAGERS

SASKATCHEWAN –7½ over Toronto

Three weeks ago the Riders lost in Toronto and what followed that game was the firing of head coach Greg Marshall. In that game played in Toronto, Saskatchewan was down 21-1 going to the fourth and came up just short in the game’s final drive in a close 24-18 final. Also note that the Riders outgained the Argos by 219 yards. They dominated play but every call and every bounce went against them. The Roughriders woke up in the fourth quarter and they haven’t looked back since. They’re coming off back-to-back 20+ point wins over the Blue Bombers. They know they were the better team in Toronto against these Argonauts and they also know they were robbed of a victory by some questionable calls. That all changes here, as the resurgent Riders will show no mercy on the pathetic Argos. Steven Jyles looked lost last week against B.C. in his season debut. The Argos as a whole look lost. Now they’re being asked to travel out west in back-to-back weeks and for a team whose confidence is shot and whose morale is low, this is a daunting task. Losing takes a big toll and Toronto is lucky to have one win in its past nine games and we don’t have to repeat who that win came against. Play: Saskatchewan –7½ (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).


CALGARY –4½ over B.C. Lions

We all saw what Edmonton did to Hamilton on two extra days of rest and those extra rest days should not be ignored. In this tilt, not only are the Stamps at home but they’ve had an extra day to prepare. Also note that while the Lions are on a roll with three straight wins, they came against the Argos the past two weeks and the then reeling Eskimos. Had this game been played before that easy trifecta, the Stamps would be about a 9-point choice here. Calgary has lost the last two home games to the Lions and they also lost their last home game against Edmonton two weeks ago. Expect the Stamps to be completely focused here in order to avoid a third straight loss at home to this intruder and a second straight home loss overall. The Lions are 4-6 on the year and frankly, they’ve yet to record a quality win all season. Aside from the three aforementioned wins, its other win came against the Riders when Saskatchewan couldn’t get out of their own way. Lions have proven nothing this season except that they can beat junk. Play: Calgary –4½ +102 (Risking 2 units)

Oklahoma Sooners vs. Florida State Seminoles
This week’s national spotlight tussle takes college football fanatics to Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, FL where the 5th ranked Florida State Seminoles will look to avenge the beating they absorbed in Norman from the #1 ranked Oklahoma Sooners last season; the live telecast is set to begin at 8:00 ET on ABC.
Coach Bob Stoops’ top ranked outfit has had two weeks to prepare for this grudge match after taking the first of the season’s two bye’s last week. Boomer Sooner simply picked apart what is a top notch outfit out of CUSA in the Tulsa Golden Hurricane back in Week 1. QB Landry Jones played the part of a Heisman hopeful completing 35 of his 47 passes for 375 yards and a score with his favorite target, WR Ryan Broyles, on the receiving end of 14 passes for 158 yards and a TD. RB Dominique Whaley made the OU faithful quickly forget about former RB DeMarco Murray by chewing up 131 yards and crossing the goal line four times. Though the defense gave up 400 yards of combined yardage, it only allowed Tulsa to put 14 points on the board. The pointspread win improved the Sooners to 5-1 ATS their L/6 dating back to last season.
The first year of the Jimbo Fisher regime went down as a success as the Seminoles went 10-4 SU and capped the year off with an outright win as three-point underdogs against the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Chick-fil-a Bowl. With 16 starters back overall (8 on both sides of the ball), the ‘Noles are expected to make some major noise in the ACC and possibly vie for a chance of playing in the BCS Championship Game. The defense pitched a shutout of UL-Monroe in the season opener, and then went through the motions in a 62-10 demolition of Charleston Southern last week. The offense is now under the guidance of Jr. QB E.J. Manuel whose averaging 8.42 yards per pass and sports a 6/2 TD/INT ratio. Though his interception last week led to the Buccaneers lone TD, the defense only allowed a combined 84 yards overall. The unit currently ranks amongst the top 16 in total yards (137.5), passing yards (77.5), rushing yards (60) and points allowed per game (5), though tonight’s opponent will be its first real test.
There’s was a ton of hype surrounding last year’s match-up in Norman, but the game quickly got out of hand. Due to QB Christian Ponder’s pathetic display, the Seminoles found themselves on the short end of the 47-17 beat down. FSU is 0-2 SU & ATS against Oklahoma in the recent series. The Sooners have been a terrible investment in this situation going 1-5 ATS their L/6 as road chalk and 4-6-1 ATS their L/11 non-conference match-ups. The Seminoles counter with a poor 4-9-2 ATS tally their L/15 at home, but stand 6-4 SU & ATS the L/10 times they went off the board decided underdogs; the ‘over’ is 11-3 their L/14 as dogs as well.

Today's winners ... My 80 Dime play is on the Navy Midshipmen to cover against South Carolina. Lookeng at the lines in Las Vegas, Navy is getting 17 points across the board. One of my 20 Dime plays is on Washington State going on the road and covering against San Diego State. Washington State opened a 9-point dog, but the steoam has come hard on the Cougars and they are now getting 5 ½ points. The other 20 Dime total play is on the Hawaii-UNLV total. The line is 60 points, which is a high total. But all indicatoons are that these teams will put up some offense in the desert.

West Virginia +1 (2 Units) - The Mountaineers are 2-0 but haven't looked sharp in the first half of games. The defense is what keeps them in it until their offense can get it going. We like Maryland but we just don't feel they should be laying any points here.

Penn St -7 (3 Units) - Penn is in disarray after the loss to Bama. If you watched the game though you noticed that their defense played quite well early. The offense also did some positive things. Penn St will bring the thunder today and will not lose.

Northwestern -5.5 (3 Units) - We all know Northwestern is a bunch of underacheivers. Every season they play well enough to lose a few games late. This season looks different though, they are playing great and will not lose this game to Army.

(154) SOUTH CAROLINA (-18.5, ov55.5)
Saturday, September 17th, 2011, 5:00 PM CST
Take: (153) NAVY
Analysis: The No. 10 South Carolina Gamecocks (2-0) will face the Navy Midshipmen (2-0) in their 2011 home opener Saturday night at Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC. The Gamecocks are coming off of a thrilling 45-42 win at rival Georgia to put themselves in first place in the SEC Eastern Division. This is the first time since the 2000-01 seasons that South Carolina has defeated Georgia in back-to-back seasons. South Carolina will be looking to use the momentum that they've built with consecutive wins away from home to start the season to open their 2011 home schedule with a win against a Navy team that runs a very efficient triple option offense. Head Coach Steve Spurrier knows what Navy is capable of and was quick to point out that they are one of the best independent football programs in the country in his weekly press conference of Tuesday. Navy might be as good an independent school as there is in the country, Spurrier said. They won 10, nine and eight games the last three years. I think they beat Notre Dame a couple of times. They're leading the nation in rushing offense right now. They run the triple option with fullback, quarterback and pitch guys so we'll have our hands full slowing down these guys. If Carolina wants to win this game, they will need a gameplan to stop Navy's triple option. The Navy rushing attack has proven difficult to stop in previous years and this year is no exception. QB Kriss Proctor has rushed for 199 yards and three touchdowns in his first two appearances this year, while RB Alexander Teich has rushed for 167. Carolina's front seven needs to have a plan of attack that will neutralize Navy's running game, and force them to throw the ball, which they rarely do. Its no secret that this service academy travels well. Navy is 23-9 ATS on the highway since 2002. After two emotionally charged finishes on the road, I dont expect The Gamecocks to be completely focused for this one. NAVY 28 SOUTH CAROLINA 45

Taking WEST VIRGINIA here. Some perception vs reality here. Yes, Maryland looked good against the Hurricanes back on Labor Day weekend. Miami was missing some suspended players. West Va didn't look very impressive vs Norfolk State as they were down 12-10 at the half. Did anyone catch the 2nd half where the Mountaineers dropped a 45 spot on them? QB Geno Smith is the difference maker here. Maryland still needed 3 TOs to finally put down the undermaned Canes. Will take this explosive West Va offense to get the job done on the road. 10* WEST VIRGINIA

RICK NEEDHAM

Michigan State at Notre Dame (MINUS 4.0) Sept. 17, 3:30, NBC
Here’s The Deal … There’s no way this can live up to the precedent. It just can’t. It’s asking for too much. Notre Dame has been the story of 2011 so far, with an offensive explosion counterbalanced by fatal, disastrous moments turning a team good enough to be 2-0 and in the hunt for a BCS game into a hot mess thanks to ten turnovers, 17 penalties, and inexplicable defensive lapses. Head coach Brian Kelly got in trouble for a red-faced tantrum in the loss to South Florida, he made a major quarterback change, and the pressure is tightening on a team that’s within an eyelash of being unbeaten. So far, though, all that matters is that the Irish are 0-2. From South Florida’s defensive stops with its back against the wall, to Denard Robinson’s magic in an all-timer of a night game last Saturday night, it’s been a wild ride so far, and if recent history against Michigan State is any indication, it’s about to get a whole lot bumpier. The Spartans have had Notre Dame’s number winning ten of the last 14 matchups, but four of the last six game were decided by three points and 11 of the last 13 have been decided by a touchdown or less. As good as the rivalry has been, and as classic as some of the games were, nothing topped last season’s 34-31 Michigan State win, complete with a fake field goal for the win and followed up by Spartan head coach Mark Dantonio’s heart scare. After the 2010 game, and with the way Notre Dame played in Ann Arbor, can this be anything less than another must-see all-timer? Again, it’s asking for too much. What it will be, though, is a possible season-definer.
Notre Dame can’t lose. A case could be made that it’s the best 0-2 team in the country, and with a not-that-bad schedule until the regular season finale at Stanford, a win for the Irish this week might start a run that could change everything around in a hurry. No matter what happens against the Spartans, the Irish should be favored in every game up until the battle against the Cardinal. Michigan State hasn’t generated any noise yet, partly because the last time it was on a national stage it was obliterated by Alabama in the Capital One Bowl, and partly because the first two games were against Youngstown State and Florida Atlantic. However, the Spartans have been dominant with a defense that hasn’t allowed a thing and a dangerous offense that’s doing whatever it wants. How strong has the defense been? FAU came up with one first down last week – one – failing to convert on any of its ten chances and finishing with 26 yards passing and 22 rushing. Michigan State is loaded and ready to show that it deserves to be in the discussion of top Big Ten teams, and Notre Dame is ready to come up with a win to let everyone around the program exhale. Go ahead. Demand yet another thrilling classic. These two know how to do it.

Why Michigan State Might Win: One. That’s how many turnovers Michigan State has committed so far, giving up just one fumble against Youngstown State. The Notre Dame turnover problems will stop at some point, and MSU doesn’t have the make-up to start screwing up enough to make a difference. This is a smart, veteran team that did a great job of hanging on to the ball throughout last year and will be ultra-stingy again when it comes to giving the ball away. It’s possible the Spartans can simply hold serve and keep it close throughout, and then wait for Notre Dame to implode. The bigger issue for the Irish could be a shaky secondary that broke down way too often against Michigan. Denard Robinson only completed 11 of 24 passes, but he made the plays through the air when he had to thanks to poor positioning and lousy technique from the Irish defensive backs. It’ll be a whole different ball game this week against MSU’s Kirk Cousins, who unlike Robinson, doesn’t have to rely on lobbing the ball up in the air to make the passing game go. Michigan might have tremendous talent, but Michigan State has a better overall offense with the balance to hit the Irish defense in a variety of ways.

Why Notre Dame Might Win: The Michigan State offensive line is just okay, it’s not great. The pass protection has been fine so far and the running game has worked, but that’s because of the competition. Lost in the last two games was an Irish defense that did a great job against the run, holding Michigan to 114 yards with Robinson ripping off 108 of them. South Florida only gained 126 yards and struggled to break off any big dashes, averaging just three yards per carry. The Irish defensive front has been more than fine, but it hasn’t been noticed because of the brilliance of Robinson and all the problems on the Notre Dame offense. But the offense is fine. Several of the mistakes have come from a lack of timing and a lack of polish, and many of the turnovers won’t be made in a few weeks; it might have taken the first two games to get rid of all the yips. South Florida’s defense is athletic and talented, and Notre Dame had no problems going up and down the field against it. Michigan’s defense might be questionable, but it’s full of experience and is ultra-aggressive, and the Irish came up with 315 yards through the air and 198 on the ground. Michigan State hasn’t seen this type of offense yet and needs to be prepared to get into a firefight.

What To Watch Out For: Lost in the brilliance of the Michigan game was a phenomenal performance by Cierre Wood, the Irish back who tore off 134 yards and a touchdown after rumbling for 104 yards and a score against USF. The junior was a superstar recruit who could’ve gone anywhere after rushing for over 4,000 yards and 54 touchdowns in his final two years of high school, and now he’s starting to play up to his potential. With a great blend of speed and power, he became a key part of the attack over the second half of last year, and now he’s thriving. Notre Dame receiver Michael Floyd has been unstoppable over the first two games with 25 catches for 313 yards and two scores, but Michigan State has a playmaking receiver of its own who’s ready for the national stage. Senior B.J. Cunningham was terrific in last year’s win over the Irish, catching seven passes for 101 yards and a touchdown, after catching seven passes for 74 yards in the 2009 loss. The 6-2, 223-pounder is big, isn’t afraid to get physical, and has the wheels to get deep when needed. He’s also a rock-steady No. 1 target with 14 catches for 203 yards and a score to start the season.

BOTTOM LINE DEPARTMENT: The slide will stop. Michigan State will come up with the takeaways needed to make the Irish sweat, and it has the defensive line to wreak havoc, but finally, the turnovers will slow down. Notre Dame will give up a couple of mistakes, but it won’t turn it over five times like it has over each of the last two games and that’ll make all the difference. Irish quarterback Tommy Rees and Cousins will each throw for over 300 yards, and it’ll be a shootout and a typical tight game between the two teams. The one with the ball last will win. I'll TAKE NOTRE DAME to win and "Beat The Spread!

I'm Betting 3 Units today on PITT in College Football action. Pitt is 2-0 with 2 uninspiring Wins over Buffalo & Maine. Pitt has kept things pretty simple so far under the new coaching regime of Todd Graham. Today that all changes as the Panthers open things up in Iowa and run some of the offense that Coach Graham used so successfully at Tulsa. Iowa had trouble stopping a very average Iowa St team last week losing in Overtime 44-41 even with Iowa St turning the ball over 3 times. Pitt is the better team and is getting points which makes them an outstanding playœ. Note teams coming off Overtime losses are poor plays the following week. I have Pitt Winning this Game 23-16.

From the Real Time(with Bill Maher) Animal:

Saturday free pick is 2* Miami-Florida -2:
That Toledo close effort in Columbus last week certainly looks far worse for the Buckeyes now after Boise State rolled up 610 yards and 32 first downs last night in Ohio. Miami of Florida has had two weeks to prepare for Ohio State after losing at Maryland 32-24 on Labor Day night. In that contest, the Terrapins scored two touchdowns on 30-yard fumble return and a 54-yard interception return. The Hurricanes welcome back QB Jacory Harris and linebacker Sean Spence, who was All-ACC last year with 111 tackles. I can't find enough play-makers on the Buckeye roster to keep pace w/ Miami. WR Posey and RB Herron remain suspended. Throw in the fact All-Big 10 offensive lineman Mike Adams is also suspended. Tough road debut for Buckeyes Coach Luke Fickell and especially with the inexperienced Joe Bauserman at QB. Keep in mind Toledo was less than 20 yards away from upsetting the Buckeyes last week. Coach Al Golden is 11-2 ATS as either an underdog or favorite of three points or less. Providing Harris can limit the number of interceptions, take the Canes to beat the Buckeyes and cover -2.

Taking COLORADO here. I am tossing the trends out the window for this affair. Road team and the underdog have been the play in this series, but not this time. Buffaloes are just flat out the better club here. Rams barely got one of the worse teams in college, New Mexico 14-10. Then they took on Nortern Colorado with their starting QB tossing 3 INTs. At least the Buffs went on the road to face Hawai'i, never a fun trip and Cal. In the loss to Cal, Colorado put up nearly 600 yards of offense. Can't see CSU slowing dow that attack too much. 5* COLORADO BUFFALOES

SATURDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL SELECTIONS
3-Unit Play. Take #172 USC (-16.5) over Syracuse (8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

Syracuse has looked awful for seven of their eight quarters this season. They were getting rocked at home by Wake Forest until they knocked the Deacons' quarterback out of the game and pulled off a stunning comeback win. Last week they struggled to put away Rhode Island and that brings us to the dirty little secret about SU over the last season-plus: of their nine regular season wins over that period they have beaten three FCS teams and an Akron team that was the worst in Div. I at the time. They were rocked by 21 points at Washington last year and I just don't think that they are up for the speed and talent that USC brings to the table here. The Trojans barely held off a weak Minnesota team in the opener, but they came back and banged heads with a good Utah squad last week. This team is 2-0, has an NFL prospect at quarterback, and they will be playing their third game at home. This is Syracuse's first road game and I don't think that they are settled on either side of the ball. Since 2009 when Syracuse has lost it has usually been via blowout. They lost by 21 at Pen State, by 2 at Pitt, by 25 at Connecticut, by 27 to West Virginia, and by 35 to Pittsburgh (on top of the Washington loss). I have made my feelings about Lane Kiffin well known (I wouldn't let him coach a high school team) but I don't even think that he can screw this one up. USC should pour it on early as it starts to find its groove. Lay the points here and look for the Orange to fall behind early and lose by three scores.

2-Unit Play. Take #186 Arizona (+9.5) over Stanford (10:45 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

I think that this is a solid spot to fade the public here. Stanford has not been as dominant as their two final scores suggest. They only outgained SJSU by 140 yards despite winning by 54 points in the opener and last week they were only up 10-7 late in the half at Duke. Those are two pretty poor teams and while Stanford's numbers appear gaudy I think it is time to start going the other way. This is a lot of points to be laying on the road in a conference road game. Arizona is off an embarrassing loss at Oklahoma State. But I think that they are a little better than they played there and they will be on a mission in this game. Stanford won by 25 at home last year, giving the Wildcats revenge. Prior to that game the previous three meetings were decided by a total of seven points and five of the last seven have been determined by 10 points or less.

2-Unit Play. Take #187 UL-Monroe (+29) over TCU (2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

Again, I think we have a nice spot to go against the public here. TCU simply isn't the same team that they have been over the last four years. They are incredibly green and without a stud quarterback like Andy Dalton running the show this team lacks leadership and a stabilizing force. The Horned Frogs are off two solid road games against Baylor (loss) and Air Force (win). And beyond being the home opener I am not sure what type of motivation that they have here. Monroe is a team with a lot of experience and they are going to try to pound the ball on the ground. I think that they can shorten the game this way and that they will get enough stops to keep this one close and low scoring. Monroe only gave up 34 points to Florida State on the road (losing 34-0) and I think that the Seminoles are a far superior team to this TCU bunch. This is simply too many points and with 80 percent of the public on TCU we'll go the other way.

2-Unit Play. Take #110 Clemson (-3) over Auburn (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 17)

Auburn is garbage. I am not thrilled about this Clemson team but this is how little I think of the Tigers and their fluke wins. This Auburn team can't stop anyone and it is really only a matter of time before their luck finally runs out and their lack of skill rears its head. This is the first road game for a very young, inexperienced club and they are going up against a Clemson team that has double-revenge for a pair of overtime losses in the last few years (2007 and 2010). Auburn is 1-6-1 ATS in its last eight games against ACC teams and I don't think that their team speed is going to overwhelm Clemson like it did Miss. State or Utah State.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #108 Maryland (-1) over West Virginia (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 17)

After six straight losses to the Mountaineers I think that this is a good spot for the home team to make a statement and get one back. Maryland has had two weeks to prepare for this game and the line steam - from the Terps as three-point underdogs to these small favorites - tells me that a lot of heavy money is coming down Maryland's way. I trust that Randy Edsall will have his troops prepared here and if they could handle Miami at home they could lay the wood to West Virginia here. I am not sold on Geno Smith and WVU has been a little shaky while it learns Dana Holgorsen's system. I will take the motivated, revenge-minded home team with extra rest and a better quarterback over the slightly overrated visitors.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #166 Ball State (-4.5) over Buffalo (7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

Pretty stunning line here. The Cardinals have played two tough games at Indiana (which they won) and at South Florida. Now they have their home opener against a team that just snapped an eight-game losing streak - a streak in which they were routinely pummeled - with a win over Stony Brook. Ball State has dominated this series, winning five of six meetings, and they have scored those wins by 17, 35, 30, 20 and 9 points. Buffalo is just 3-26 in their last 29 games against the MAC West and they have been terrible on the road. Buffalo is just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games away from home and I don't see them getting this win.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #137 Michigan State (+5) over Notre Dame (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

So let me get this straight, Notre Dame lost to South Florida and Michigan as a favorite in both games and now they are still laying points? Michigan State is probably better than either of the two teams that have already gotten the better of the Irish. And you can talk about turnovers and total yards stats all you want but the bottom line is that this Notre Dame team can't defend and just isn't very good. The Spartans have a ton of weapons on offense and a defense that is more physical than either USF or Michigan's. the road team is 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the Spartans are 10-4 ATS in the last 14. Four of the last six meetings have been determined by a field goal and eight of 10 have been decided by a touchdown or less. I will play the value and take the points.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #131 Wisconsin (-17) over Northern Illinois (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

Right now the Badgers look like one of the best teams in the country. They have dominated their first two opponents, including an Oregon State team that I think is better than Northern Illinois. The fact of the matter is that Northern Illinois has zero chance of stopping Wisconsin. The Huskies only brought back two defensive starters from last year's squad and they lost 11 of their top 15 tacklers. This group gave up 26 points to Army while allowing 300 yards rushing and then last week they gave up 45 points to Kansas. If they can't stop Army and Kansas they don't stand a chance at stopping the Badgers offense. Northern Illinois had a great year last year, but they still lost by 17 points at Iowa State. Wisconsin has shown that they will drop the hammer, posting wins of 70-23, 48-28, 83-20 and 34-13 against Big Ten competition. Northern Illinois isn't Big Ten competition. I think the Badgers roll yet again.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #173 Oklahoma (-3) over Florida State (8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

This play is a bit on par with the Notre Dame play. Every year the preseason hype has Miami and Florida State being ?back?. Well, I will believe it when I see it. They were throttled by Oklahoma last year on the road and now it looks like they could be poised for a huge, marquee win on national television. Again - when I see it I will believe it. Oklahoma is a team that is used to playing and performing in these big spots. FSU is a team that normally rolls over. The Sooners are another club that has had two weeks to prep for this game and I trust that Bob Stoops will have his boys ready to execute. Florida State's advantage is its speed and athleticism. But OU sees plenty of that in the Big 12 and it is precisely their ability to execute and play efficiently on offense that sets them apart. And in a game of two very evenly matched programs I will side with Landry Jones, his skill players, and his system over a relatively unproven E.J. Manuel and a shaky crop of FSU athletes.

1.5-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #125 Duke (+14) over Boston College (12:30 p.m.) AND Take #155 Washington State (+12.5) over San Diego State (6:30 p.m.)

6 Unit Play. #8 Take Clemson Tigers -3 over Auburn Tigers (Saturday 12 pm ABC)

Revenge Game of the Year.This Auburn team continues to roll and will enter Death Valley on a 16-game winning streak. No doubt that a team has to be good to accomplish this. However, luck does play a part in this game and the Auburn Tiger's good luck is going to run out. Auburn has a very young team and one has to wonder how these underclassman will fare in their first road game of the season. Clemson lost at Auburn last year in overtime, 27-24, in a game Clemson led 17-3 at halftime.

Moving over to the Clemson side, although they have played a weak schedule, they have been lighting up the scoreboard of offense. New OC Chad Morris may be the reason, as he coached at Tulsa last season and averaged more than 40 points per game.

I just cannot see this young Auburn team trading points with Clemson. Throw in revenge after a tough loss last year in Auburn and Clemson will be ready to make a statement. Auburn is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games against ACC teams. The homer gets the call!

Clemson Tigers 41, Auburn Tigers 24

4 Unit Play. #40 Take Michigan Wolverines -28.5 over Eastern Michigan Eagles (Saturday 12 pm Big Ten Network)

Some handicappers may be looking for a letdown here for Michigan after coming back to beat Notre Dame last week. In my opinion that will not be the case. This Wolverines team is hungry and the defense must take a stand.

I am looking for QB Denard Robinson and his talented receivers to have a big day against the Eagles. EMU is 2-0, but neither opponent they have played has the talent of Michigan. This is Michigan's third straight home game and I expect the Blue and Gold to roll. The Eagles are 9-29 ATS in their last 38 nonconference games. The Wolverines are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against nonconference teams. Both trends hold true on Saturday.

Michigan Wolverines 49, Eastern Michigan Eagles 10

4 Unit Play. #74 Take Temple Owls +7 over Penn State Nittany Lions (Saturday 12 pm ESPN)

This is a rare road game for a Big Ten team against a MAC team, but that will be the case on Saturday when the Lions invade Philadelphia looking for their 29th straight win against Temple. Will they get it? Not so fast my friend! Yes, Penn State is talented, but last week's loss against Alabama displayed that this team has weaknesses.

As for Temple, the offense has the best player on the field in Bernard Pierce. Their biggest loss from last year may have been Coach Al Golden, who is now at Miami. But Golden recruited well and this Temple team will make some noise in the MAC.

Penn State is coming off an emotional loss against Alabama, and that was a game they thought they had a chance to win. I am stepping out on a limb here, but I believe that an upset is possible and I will call it!

Temple Owls 24, Penn State Nittany Lions 21

4 Unit Play. #84 Take Miami Hurricanes -2.5 over Ohio State Buckeyes (Saturday 7:30 ESPN)

The biggest question here is who will be suspended and who will be able to play for both teams. The Buckeyes find themselves at 2-0 on the season, but the schedule has been light. Despite that Toledo had a chance to win last week in Columbus.

The Hurricanes got beat by Maryland in the opening game of the season and had last week off. QB Jacory Harris did not play in the opener but is expected to play in this game. That will not be the case with Ohio State, as their coach and quarterback from last season are now in the NFL and they are both serving a suspension. This is a big game for Coach Al Golden and I look for him to have his team ready to make a statement in primetime. This small line looks to be a gift.

Miami Hurricanes 28, Ohio State Buckeyes 20

4 Unit Play. #86 Take Northern Illinois Huskies +17 over Wisconsin Badgers (Saturday 3:30 pm ESPN 3)

This will be a game very few people will be able to watch since it is only available on the Internet. The Badgers have shown they belong in the Top 10 this season with two dominating performances against UNLV and Oregon State. But UNLV does not have any talent and Oregon State was banged up at a couple of key positions. Wisconsin is good, but I personally believe that they are not this good. Their defense has yet to be tested and the Huskies have the playmakers to give them their first true test this Saturday.

QB Chandler Harinish threw 21 touchdowns last season and only 5 interceptions and he has numerous playmakers around him. Coach Dave Doeren was the defensive coordinator at Wisconsin last year and he will have a good gameplan taking on his former squad. The only question I have is whether the Huskies can stop the Badgers running attack. The Huskies are 11-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 games overall. In a high scoring affair, this one stay under the number.

Wisconsin Badgers 41, Northern Illinois Huskies 31

4-Unit Play. Take #120 Temple (+7.5) over Penn State (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 17)

This is a big letdown spot for Penn State. The Lions took on Alabama at home last week and it is going to be tough to get up for a MAC team on the road this week. Temple, on the other hand, has had this game circled and they will give an all-out effort. The Owls have covered in their last two meetings with Penn State and they have managed to shrink their deficit against them in each of the last three years. In 2008 they lost by 42, in 2009 they lost by 25, and last year they lost by just 9 points. All of those three games were in Happy Valley. Now the Owls have their chance at revenge and they should be way up for it. The difference in motivation and a solid public fade make this a good spot for yours truly.

3-Unit Play. Take #162 Ohio (-3) over Marshall (7 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

It is going to be very difficult for Marshall this weekend after a big win over Southern Miss last Saturday. Back-to-back road games can be tough for any college team. But doing it after a big outright upset and after a physical game like that can be especially rough. Ohio has been excellent through its first two games and quarterback Tyler Tettleton is a real up-and-comer in the MAC. Ohio does its best work with the ground game and I think that they will be able to wear down the Herd. Marshall's offense is ranked just No. 106 in the country and after back-to-back games with a lot of emotion involved (they opened the year at rival West Virginia) I am not sure what this team has left to offer. The home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings of these old rivals and Ohio has beat the number in six of the last eight meetings going back to 2000.

2-Unit Play. Take #133 Miami, OH (+4.5) over Minnesota (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

Minnesota lost to New Mexico State last week. Why couldn't they lose outright to Miami? This is a very good Redhawks team that won 10 games last year. They easily covered the spread at Missouri in their opener and they have had two weeks to prepare for this game. That gives them a big edge against a Gophers team that has played two very draining games at USC (19-17) and against New Mexico State (28-21). The Gophers are just 2-7 ATS in their home games and the Redhawks have gone 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall. I think that this MAC team is the better team in this game. Having the points is a bonus and I think our side will pull the outright upset.

3-Unit Play. Take #149 Nevada (-6.5) over San Jose State (4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

This line is too low. Nevada is a the best team in the WAC and they are off a bad loss at Oregon. The Ducks had a lot of frustration to take out last week and the Wolfpack just happened to be the ones there. But that has hidden the fact that this is still a very solid Nevada program. SJSU is off a very emotional game against UCLA that they almost managed to pull an upset in. The week before that they played Stanford. That is two games against bigger, in-state schools from the Pac-10. I think that the Spartans will have a much harder time getting up for this game emotionally. The Wolfpack are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings and the favorite is 9-2 ATS when these two teams play. The Spartans are just 8-24 ATS in their last 32 games overall and this line should have been closer to 10.

4-Unit Play. Take #136 Florida (-9.5) over Tennessee (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 17)

The Volunteers are coming off a big home win and are off to a strong start. But they have had no luck in The Swamp and have been buried by 14 and 24 points in their last two trips there. Florida has owned this series for nearly two decades and the Gators are 6-3 ATS in the last nine meetings. This Gators team is really responding to new coach Mitch Muschamp and their defense has been great. Florida has given up just one field goal in two games so far this year. If Florida shuts down Tennessee's offense then I don't see how the Vols can stay in this game. Florida is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games and they are 35-16 ATS as a favorite. This one should be all UF.

10* West Va
5* Colorado
4* Florida
Taking the GATORS here. I know this isn't vintage Florida football, but I really like their new HC. Was a fan of Muschamp going all the way back to his days at LSU. The guy can get his defense playing extremely well. And here, I think it is the differnce maker. Vols looked good at home, but are heading into The Swamp, never an easy place to win. Made harder with their youth. Tennessee HC Dooley brings the SEC youngest team to town. This will be Muschamp's first SEC game, so I expect his players and the fans to create some atmosphere that will rattle the Vols. 4* FLORIDA GATORS
4* Virginia Tech
Taking VA TECH here. For me, this line is off nearly 6 points. We have Arkansas State off a throttling of Memphis 47-3 and the Hokies off a lackluster 17-10 ballgame. Don't be fooled people. This Hokies team is talented. Red Wolves won't be able to slow down this offense. If Illinois is going for 200 on the ground, watch out. Arkansas State will be done midway through the 3rd quarter. 4* VIRGINIA TECH HOKIES
5* Sooners
Taking the SOONERS here. I know payback is a bitch, but Florida State just won't be able to cash that check. This game is all about Landry Jones. He is the key to Oklahoma winning here, and winning it all. This is going to pitch and catch between Jones and WR Ryan Broyles. Listen, FSU is good and talented. They are ranked #5. But I will take the Sooner experience at QB as the difference maker here. 5* OKLAHOMA SOONERS
4* Over Florida State
Going OVER the total in Tallaassee tonight. I know the Sooners offense will score at least 40 tonight. They are just that good. Their defense is a bend don't break unit so at worse, the 'Noles should put up 21 here. I am thinking something along the 44-34 lines tonight. 4* OVER Oklahoma/Florida State
5* Miami, Florida
Taking the HURRICANES here. Nothing like coming home and getting your starting QB and LB back for a nice revenge match vs Ohio State. Last year, Jacory turned the ball over on what seemed to be every other possession. Shoe is on the other foot with the young Buckeyes. Miami eager to put their latest scandel to rest. Buckeyes with thier own blackeye from their tattoo-gate. Even a depleted Miami team nearly turned the upset on the road in Maryland. OSU in off a near mighty upset as they managed to hold off Toledo at home. HC Al Golden will have his troops focused and the crowd will be very into the game. OSU has a new HC in Luke Fickell. We will see how he does in his first road game. The U, gets a W at home tonight. 5* MIAMI HURRICANES

Adding a trio of night games.

Houston -6.5 (3 Units) - We love Houston. We also have a man crush on Case Keenum. Houston sports the #1 pass offense and while we expect a shootout, we are confident that Houston will survive this cover.

Marshall +5.5 (1 Unit) - 1 Unit might seem like we are unsure, but this is more about protecting our bankroll. We picked more than the 3-4 games we like to stick to. Marshall boasts a very good defense. If not for the rain they would have beaten West Virginia in week 1. They should win this game and cover it for sure.

Stanford -9 (3 Units) - Stanford is clicking on both offense and Defense. They are 4th in points scored and 10th in Points against. The line dropped from 9.5 but 82% of the action is on Stanford. Don't fall for the bookie trick.
