Marshall Thundering Herd vs. Virginia Tech Hokies Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 27th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/27/2018

With an overtime win over in-state rival Virginia in the 100th edition of the Commonwealth Clash last Friday, Virginia Tech will host Marshall this Saturday needing a victory to gain bowl eligibility for a 26th straight season - thus extending the longest streak in the country. The school announced on Nov. 18 this game - taking the place of the East Carolina game cancelled due to Hurricane Florence - would be played only if the Hokies needed a win to keep their bowl streak alive.

The task won't be an easy one as Marshall comes to town riding a three-game winning streak, including a 28-25 victory over Florida International last Saturday which knocked the Panthers out of the Conference USA title game. "This (bowl) streak is really special and it's hard to do," Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster told the Roanoke Times. "We are going to play a really good and talented Marshall football team. I'd like to play someone else but it is what it is." The Hokies extended their season when Brian Johnson kicked a 42-yard field goal in overtime and Emmanuel Belmar recovered a fumble on Virginia's ensuing possession to secure the 34-31 victory and snap a four-game losing streak. The Hokies needed some help just to get to the extra session, as wide receiver Hezekiah Grimsley recovered a fumble by running back Steven Peoples in the end zone with 1:51 to play.

TV: Noon ET, ACC Network. LINE: Virginia Tech - 4.5.

ABOUT MARSHALL (8-3): Isaiah Green (14 touchdowns, nine interceptions, 55.7 completion percentage) finished 18-of-27 for 176 yards, two TDs and two interceptions against Florida International, Brenden Knox ran for 109 yards on 19 carries, linebacker Omari Cobb returned an interception 25 yards for a score and safety Brandon Drayton blocked a punt and recovered it in the end zone for another TD. Leading rusher Tyler King (655 yards, 6.1 per carry) is questionable with an injury, meaning Green could look more often to wideout Tyre Brady, who has 64 catches for 890 yards and nine TDs this season. Linebacker Chase Hancock (87 tackles, 3.5 sacks) and safety Malik Gant (83 tackles, eight for loss) lead a defense that has surrendered just 12.7 points per game during the win streak, 20.3 during the season (22nd in FBS) and 2.9 yards per carry.



ABOUT VIRGINIA TECH (5-6): Ryan Willis (57 percent completion, 2,185 yards, 18 TD, eight interceptions) completed 14-of-33 for 199 yards against the Cavaliers with a touchdown and two interceptions, while Peoples (682 yards) rushed for 96 yards on 19 carries as Tech finished with 453 yards of offense. Freshman Tre Turner (four catches, 69 yards, one run for 43 yards) made a one-handed grab of a Willis pass for a 7-yard touchdown that gave the Hokies a 7-0 lead in the second quarter, and moments later, blocked a punt that was recovered in the end zone by Jovonn Quillen. "He is a competitor. He really is. Obviously, he has talent, and he can run and those sorts of things, but he's a highly intelligent competitor," coach Justin Fuente said of Turner. "If he continues to work, he's going to have a really nice career here. It's really nice to see guys like that be willing to play big roles on special teams. That sets a great a great example to our other players."

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Herd finished 6-2 in conference play, tied for second in the East Division. In its one game against a Power Five opponent, Marshall lost 37-20 to North Carolina State.

2. The last season Virginia Tech did not play in a bowl was 1992 after a 2-8-1 season.

3. Turner has caught four passes in each of the Hokies' past three games and has 22 grabs for 396 yards and three TDs this season.

PREDICTION: Virginia Tech 24, Marshall 16

East Carolina Pirates vs. NC State Wolfpack Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

East Carolina visits North Carolina State on Saturday afternoon in a game that was scheduled after both teams were forced to cancel games in September due to Hurricane Michael. The Wolfpack are looking to finish the season strong as wins on Saturday and in their bowl game will get them to double digits in wins for just the second time in the 127-year history of the program.

NC State is coming off an exciting 34-28 overtime win over North Carolina last Saturday where running back Reggie Gallaspy scored his fifth touchdown of the game from one-yard out for the win. The rivalry game was stained by a brawl that broke out after Gallaspy's winning score, however, and because of it the Wolfpack will be shorthanded as offensive tackles Tyler Jones and Justin Witt as well as defensive back Freddie Phillips Jr. have all been suspended by the ACC for the first half of Saturday's game. The Pirates will be looking to end a miserable season on a positive note as they've lost six of seven, including a 56-6 drubbing at Cincinnati on Nov. 23. Quarterback Holton Ahlers is expected to play after leaving in the third quarter last week with a leg injury.

TV: Noon ET, ACC Network. LINE: North Carolina State -23.

ABOUT EAST CAROLINA (3-8): Ahlers, who was just 8-of-22 for 184 yards with a touchdown and an interception, fumbled twice against the Bearcats but is the team's leading passer (127-of-263, 1,785 yards, 12 TDs, three interceptions) and rusher (119 carries for 592 yards). The Pirates went three-and-out on each of their first three drives last week and the defense wasn't able to do their part either, as the Bearcats opened up a 35-0 lead and amassed 641 total yards. Cincinnati's top-ranked defense in the American Athletic Conference held East Carolina to just 303 total yards, including 83 rushing yards on 33 attempts.



ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (8-3): The Tar Heels missed a 37-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime before the Wolfpack ended the game with seven straight running plays. Gallaspy ran for a career-high 129 yards and tied a school record with his five rushing scores en route to earning co-ACC Running back of the Week honors. Quarterback Ryan Finley will be looking for a bounce-back performance against East Carolina after going 16-of-28 for 200 yards and an interception in what was one of his worst games of the season last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. NC State junior WR Jakobi Meyers had seven catches for 111 yards against UNC.

2. Wolfpack leading tackler Germaine Pratt missed last week but is listed atop the depth chart for Saturday.

3. East Carolina didn't record a first down until the second quarter against the Bearcats.

PREDICTION: North Carolina State 38, East Carolina 20

Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

Lincoln Riley's dynamic offense at Oklahoma has consistently been explosive enough this season to make up for one of the worst defenses in the country, but Texas knows all about the one time it wasn't. The fifth-ranked Sooners hope to avenge their only loss of the season and impress the College Football Playoff committee enough to move up from the No. 5 spot in the CFP rankings when they meet No. 9 Texas on Saturday in the Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium in Dallas.

Oklahoma, which leads FBS in scoring (50.3 points) and total offense (583.8 yards), finished the regular season on a six-game winning streak despite surrendering 47.3 points per game in its last four contests - and at least 40 points in each contest - by averaging 53.3. The Sooners have failed to score at least 48 points in only three games, the last of which came on Oct. 6 when Oklahoma needed less than six minutes in the fourth quarter to erase a 21-point deficit before the Longhorns got a game-winning 40-yard field goal from freshman Cameron Dicker as time expired for a 48-45 victory. Texas has been living on the edge for most of the season, playing all but one of its last eight opponents within one score and winning six of them. The Longhorns are making their sixth Big 12 Championship appearance and first since 2009, while the Sooners are seeking their fourth consecutive conference crown and a ninth championship win in 18 league title games.

TV: Noon ET, ABC. LINE: Oklahoma -8

ABOUT TEXAS (9-3): Sam Ehlinger, who produced 386 yards of total offense and five total touchdowns in the first meeting, is responsible for the two highest total offense outputs by a Longhorn quarterback in the 113-game history of this rivalry (388 last season) but has been playing through a shoulder injury since Oct. 13. Lil'Jordan Humphrey (72 catches, 1,058 receiving yards and eight TDs) and Collin Johnson (57, 768, six) are one of only 14 duos in FBS with at least 55 catches, and Humphrey is only the fifth player in school history with at least 1,000 yards and eight receiving TDs in a season. Dicker's 34-yard field goal against the Jayhawks tied him with Dusty Magnum (16; 2001) for the most made field goals ever by a Texas freshman.



ABOUT OKLAHOMA (11-1): Heisman Trophy candidate Kyler Murray is the first player in FBS history to average at least 300 passing yards (306.2) and 60 rushing yards (71.1) for an entire regular season and leads an offense that is the first in FBS history to record at least 500 yards of total offense in nine regular-season games. With Trey Sirmon (shoulder) still limited due to injury, freshman Kennedy Brooks took over the team lead in rushing with 993 yards and boasts an FBS-best 9.6 yards per carry (minimum five rushing attempts per game). Since returning to full strength prior to the Oklahoma State victory on Nov. 10, junior receiver Marquise Brown has caught 25 passes for 450 yards and three TDs.

EXTRA POINTS

1. This game marks the second in-season rematch between the arch-rivals and first since 1903.

2. Oklahoma's eight-game streak of scoring at least 45 points is tied for the longest among FBS teams since at least 1980.

3. The Longhorns, who are the only school in the Big 12 with a winning record against the Sooners (62-46-5), are 6-3 in one-possession games this season.

PREDICTION: Oklahoma 48, Texas 41

Drake Bulldogs vs. Iowa State Cyclones Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

With rumors beginning to swirl around coach Matt Campbell, the Iowa State coach remains focused on this week's game. The Cyclones host Drake to conclude the regular-season on Saturday and, for now, Campbell insists that he is not looking at NFL jobs.

"We're fortunate that we've continued to be able to build in a positive direction and we're going to continue to build in a really positive direction," Campbell said this week. The third-year coach has won 15 games in the past two seasons and will be taking the Cyclones to a bowl game for the second straight year. First, however, is a matchup with Drake, an FCS opponent that has allowed 10 points or fewer four times this season, including each of the last two games. Iowa State should be up to the task after putting up 42 points -- its second-highest mark of the season -- in last week's comeback victory over Kansas State.

TV: Noon ET, Cyclones.TV. LINE: None

ABOUT DRAKE (7-3): The Bulldogs have given up 16 points in the last two games and held Morehead State scoreless over the final three quarters in their most recent outing. Grant Kraemer took care of the offense with two touchdown passes and a rushing score. Steve Doran accumulated 159 yards on five catches and scored twice, while Braeden Hartwig pitched in with 50 rushing yards and a score.



ABOUT IOWA STATE (7-4): The Cyclones trailed by 17 with under 11 minutes left against Kansas State before rallying with three late touchdowns, capped by David Montgomery's third rushing score of the day with 4:34 to play. "This team has never disappointed me," Campbell said. "We're not flashy. We're not pretty.
But you better not count us out." Hakeem Butler caught his ninth touchdown pass of the season and went over 100 yards for the fifth time as he continues to enjoy a stellar junior campaign.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Freshman QB Brock Purdy is 6-1 since taking over as Iowa State's starter; his 337 passing yards against Kansas State marked a new career high.

2. This is Drake's first meeting with an FBS team since 1997.

3. Montgomery has averaged 13.5 rushing attempts in the last four games after a five-game stretch in which he rushed at least 20 times in every contest.

PREDICTION: Iowa State 39, Drake 13

Akron Zips vs. South Carolina Gamecocks Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

South Carolina coach Will Muschamp mentioned before the season he would like for his Gamecocks to spend this week practicing, with the hopes of being in Saturday's SEC championship game in Atlanta. Instead, the Gamecocks will host Akron on Saturday in a matchup announced earlier this month - giving South Carolina a 12th regular-season contest after its Sept. 15 game with Marshall was canceled due to Hurricane Florence.

While the destination is the Gamecocks' home in Columbia, S.C., some 215 miles east of where Alabama and Georgia will meet for the conference title, Muschamp still sees plenty of positives in opening December with a game. "Our goal is to go to Atlanta, and to go to Atlanta, you'll be practicing this time next year," Muschamp told reporters Tuesday. Even though it fell to second-ranked Clemson 56-35 last week, South Carolina brings plenty of momentum into Saturday after quarterback Jake Bentley passed for 510 yards and five touchdowns against a Tigers defense allowing just 14 points per game. The Zips, who upset Big Ten West champion Northwestern earlier this season, has lost four in a row after last week's 49-28 defeat at Ohio.

TV: Noon ET, SEC Network. LINE: South Carolina -30

ABOUT AKRON (4-7): The Zips also sought a 12th game to round out their schedule after the Sept. 1 contest at Nebraska was canceled due to lightning. Quarterback Kato Nelson has passed for 2,151 yards and 15 touchdowns (four last week), wide receiver Andre Williams has six touchdowns and 49 total receptions, and linebacker John Lako leads the team with 118 tackles. Akron is sixth nationally with four defensive touchdowns, but has scored 17 points or fewer in six games.



ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA (6-5): Bentley is tied for third in the SEC with 24 passing touchdowns and sixth in passing yardage at 2,754. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught 10 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns against Clemson, giving him 849 yards receiving (fifth in the league) and nine scores (tied for fourth). South Carolina has won three of its past five games, including a 49-9 non-conference victory over Chattanooga on Nov. 17.

EXTRA POINTS

1. South Carolina failed to convert twice on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line against Clemson, yet still finished with five touchdowns on 11 possessions.

2. The Gamecocks are sixth in the SEC in total offense at 445.3 yards per game, finishing last week with 600.

3. South Carolina currently is being considered for several bowl games, including the Gator Bowl, Belk Bowl and Music City Bowl.

PREDICTION: South Carolina 48, Akron 14

Stanford Cardinal vs. California Golden Bears Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

Two weeks after poor air quality in the Bay Area forced officials to postpone the annual rivalry game between California and Stanford, the teams are set to close the regular season Saturday in Berkeley. Cal has lost its last eight meetings against the Cardinal, which rebounded from back-to-back losses to the Washington schools by recording wins over Oregon State and UCLA.

Known for their run-first offense in recent years, the Cardinal have become a pass-oriented offense behind junior quarterback K.J. Costello, who ranks first in the Pac-12 in passing efficiency and second in the conference in passing yards per game. Costello has thrown 15 touchdown passes over his last four games and continued to impress in last Saturday's 49-42 win over UCLA, completing 23-of-37 passes for 344 yards and a career-high five scores. "Costello is coming into his own," coach David Shaw told reporters. "Over the next year, he's going to be one of the best quarterbacks in America." The Stanford offense figures to be tested by Cal's stellar defensive unit, which has allowed an average of 14.2 points over its last five games.

TV: 3 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network. LINE: Stanford -3

ABOUT STANFORD (7-4, 5-3 Pac-12): JJ Arcega-Whiteside returned last week after missing one game due to injury and tied the school's single-season record with 14 touchdown receptions after recording seven catches for 106 yards and three scores against the Bruins. Bryce Love had 22 carries for 85 yards and a score but has battled injuries all season and is averaging 4.6 yards per carry, well below his 8.1 average from last year. Senior linebackers Sean Barton and Bobby Okereke have a combined 153 tackles to lead the defense, which needs to regroup after allowing 528 total yards against UCLA.


​​​​​​​

ABOUT CAL (7-4, 4-4): The Bears' defense forced a season-high five turnovers in last Saturday's 33-21 win over Colorado as Elijah Hicks and Ashtyn Davis each scored on interception returns for touchdowns. Freshman Chase Garbers (13 touchdowns against five interceptions) has settled in as a reliable starter for the Bears, who clinched their first winning season since 2015 with last week's victory. Running back Patrick Laird had 153 rushing yards in last season's 17-14 loss to Stanford but has been held under the 100-yard mark in his last four games.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Stanford holds a 63-46-11 lead in the all-time series - including a 27-21-6 advantage at Berkeley.

2. Cal linebackers Jordan Kunaszyk and Evan Weaver lead all FBS duos in solo tackles per game (13.7) and all Power 5 duos in total tackles per game (23.2).

3. Stanford is 7-0 this season when forcing at least one turnover and 0-4 when not recording a turnover.

PREDICTION: Cal 27, Stanford 24

Memphis Tigers vs. Central Florida Knights Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

Seventh-ranked Central Florida attempts to finish the job after an emotional week and earn a second straight American Athletic Conference title when it hosts surging Memphis in the championship game Saturday. The Knights extended their national-best winning streak to 24 games with a resounding 38-10 victory at South Florida last Friday, but the triumph came at a cost as star quarterback McKenzie Milton was lost to a severe right knee injury.

"Everyone in our program has great love and respect for McKenzie and our thoughts and prayers are constantly with him," UCF coach Josh Heupel told reporters regarding the junior from Hawaii, who was responsible for 34 touchdowns this year. "At the same time, we're gonna go out and play our hearts out. He'll be part of who and what we're doing on the field." UCF, which is eighth in the College Football Playoff rankings, will hand out 40,000 leis to fans at the game to honor Milton, while freshman quarterback Darriel Mack Jr. gets the job of trying to lead the Knights to another title. Memphis comes to Orlando, Fla. with one of the nation's best running backs in junior Darrell Henderson, a four-game winning streak and the confidence of two near misses against UCF during the Knights' winning streak - but a 1-12 all-time record against the Knights. "We've competed extremely well against them, but at the same point, we always had mistakes late in games that have cost us," Tigers coach Mike Norvell, whose team lost in double-overtime at last year's title game and 31-30 against UCF on Oct. 13, told reporters. "They've made plays late in games that have helped them to victory."

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC. LINE: UCF -3

ABOUT MEMPHIS (8-4, 5-3 American): Henderson is second in the nation in rushing yards (1,699), tied for second in TDs on the ground (19) and second in yards per carry (8.6) after gaining 178 and scoring twice in the 52-31 win over Houston last week. Junior quarterback Brady White is 53 passing yards from reaching 3,000 on the season, but has thrown four interceptions (seven overall) and three TD strikes (25 overall) in the last two games. Sophomore wide receiver Damonte Coxie is White's top target with 63 catches for 1,062 yards and seven scores while junior Tony Pollard had career highs of eight receptions and 116 yards last week and is one of the top kick returners in the nation.



ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA (11-0, 8-0): The Knights will lean more toward the ground attack with the 6-3, 230-pound Mack at the helm as he has run for 281 yards (7.0 per carry) and completed just 48.8 percent of his passes in a limited role. UCF's rushing attack has gotten better each game and sophomore Greg McCrae (895 yards, eight TDs on the ground) took the leading role at the end of October while junior Adrian Killins Jr. (1,023 yards rushing and receiving) is always a threat. The Knights' defense, led by sophomore defensive back Richie Grant (team highs of 98 tackles, five interceptions) and senior lineman Titus Davis (six sacks, 15.5 tackles for loss), must step up again versus the talented Tigers.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Memphis junior RB Patrick Taylor Jr. needs 106 yards rushing to give the Tigers two players with 1,000 in a season.

2. UCF sophomore WR Gabriel Davis leads a balanced receiving corps with 44 catches for 655 yards and six TDs.

3. Tigers LB Bryce Huff is tied for 14th in the nation is tackles for loss per game (1.5) with 18 overall.

PREDICTION: Central Florida 38, Memphis 21

Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Georgia Bulldogs Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

Top-ranked Alabama will undoubtedly be part of the four-team College Football Playoff but fourth-ranked Georgia isn't a lock as the two squads prepare for Saturday's SEC championship game at Atlanta. The Bulldogs can clinch a CFP spot by beating the Crimson Tide but risk being bypassed for the playoff if they should lose the contest.

The two squads met in last season's national title game with Alabama prevailing 26-23 in overtime in what was the coming out party for Crimson Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who came off the bench to throw three touchdown passes. "He can sit in the pocket and make every throw," Georgia coach Kirby Smart said during a press conference. "He's very confident, and he's got a presence about him in the pocket. He doesn't fear rush; if he's got guys bearing down on him, he sidesteps and gets the ball out, and that's what makes him very special." Alabama has been dominant all season but coach Nick Saban is very wary of Smart - his former defensive coordinator - and the Bulldogs. "Georgia is one of the most complete teams in the country," Saban said at a press conference. "I think Kirby's done a fantastic job there in terms of taking the players that were there and developing them in the style that he wants and doing a great job of recruiting to get new players to come and buy into their system. This is going to be the biggest challenge we've had to date."

TV: 4 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Alabama -13.5

ABOUT ALABAMA (12-0, 8-0 SEC): Tagovailoa has thrown a school-record 36 touchdown passes against two interceptions and the sophomore fuels an offense averaging 49 points per game. Jerry Jeudy is enjoying a standout season with 56 receptions for 1,079 and 11 touchdowns while fellow sophomore receiver DeVonta Smith (27 receptions) will forever be remembered in Alabama lore for catching the game-winning 41-yard touchdown pass in the national championship game. The Crimson Tide give up an average of 13.8 points with sophomore nose guard Quinnen Williams recording a team-leading 16 tackles for loss and senior defensive end Isaiah Buggs notching a team-best 9.5 sacks.



ABOUT GEORGIA (11-1, 7-1): Sophomore quarterback Jake Fromm was intercepted twice in last season's title game but has been picked off just five times this season while passing for 2,236 yards and 24 touchdowns. The attack that produces an average of 40.1 points per game also relies on two standout running backs in sophomore D'Andre Swift (962 yards, nine touchdowns) and junior Elijah Holyfield (896 yards, seven scores). The defense allows an average of 17.2 points with senior linebacker D'Andre Walker (team-high 6.5 sacks) and sophomore safety Richard LeCounte (team-leading 64 tackles) among the standouts.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Alabama has won the past four meetings.

2. Bulldogs junior WR Mecole Hardman leads the SEC with a 21.8 average on punt returns - he has one touchdown - and also averages 26.2 yards on kickoff returns.

3. Crimson Tide junior LB Terrell Lewis (knee) returned to practice from summer surgery and his availability will be determined later in the week.

PREDICTION: Alabama 27, Georgia 24

Fresno State Bulldogs vs. Boise State Broncos Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

For the second straight year, Fresno State and Boise State will meet in the Mountain West championship game on Saturday night. And it's fair to say the two teams are more than a little familiar with each other this time around.

This will be the fourth time in the span of 371 days that the two schools have played. Boise State has won two of those meetings, including 17-14 last year in the title game and 24-17 on Nov. 9, both at Albertsons Stadium, while Fresno State claimed a 28-17 victory at Bulldog Stadium in the first of the four contests on Nov. 25, 2017. "Going there is not new to us, so you know what to expect," Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford said. "We know what a challenge it is to go and play in a hostile environment against a great football team. We have to have a great week of preparation and do everything we can to go there and compete our best and let it all hang out." Both teams were ranked in this week's College Football Playoff rankings -- Boise State is No. 23 and Fresno State is No. 25 -- which means the winner might be in position for a New Years Six Bowl if the only other Group of Five conference team in the rankings -- No. 8 Central Florida, which lost star quarterback McKenzie Milton to a knee injury last week -- were to falter against Memphis earlier Saturday in the American Athletic Conference championship game.

TV: 7:45 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Boise State -2.5

ABOUT FRESNO STATE (10-2, 7-1 Mountain West): This is the fourth Mountain West title game in six seasons for the Bulldogs, who defeated Utah State at home in 2013 but lost at Boise State in both 2014 and 2017 with the Broncos needing a 90-yard drive late in the fourth quarter to pull out last year's contest. Senior quarterback Marcus McMaryion ranks fifth in FBS in completion percentage (70.5 percent) and has passed for 3,283 yards and 24 touchdowns while throwing just three interceptions. Senior wide receiver KeeSean Johnson, who broke Davante Adams' school record for career receptions earlier this season, ranks eighth in the FBS in receptions (87) and seventh in receiving yards (1,267), while junior linebacker Jeff Allison (109 tackles), named Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year on Wednesday, leads a Bulldog defense that has allowed just 19 touchdowns this season, tied for second-fewest allowed in the FBS behind Mississippi State's 12.



ABOUT BOISE STATE (10-2, 7-1): The Broncos, who are bowl eligible for the 17th consecutive season, bring in a seven-game winning streak including a 33-24 victory over then-No. 14 Utah State last Saturday to clinch the Mountain Division. Junior running back Alexander Mattison had a season-high 200 yards against the Aggies and has rushed for 714 yards and nine touchdowns over the last five games and is tied for fifth in the FBS with 16 rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Brett Rypien, named the Mountain West's Offensive Player of the Year, has 29 touchdown passes and seven interceptions and is the leading active passer in the FBS with 13,456 career passing yards, while senior cornerback Tyler Horton, who leads the FBS with four fumble recoveries and has scored five defensive touchdowns in his career, leads a defense that has 37 sacks and leads the nation with 15 fumble recoveries.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Boise State is 113-8 at home on its blue Smurf Turf since 2000, tops in the FBS during that span.

2. Fresno State is tied for fifth in the FBS with 17 interceptions and has allowed 30 points or less in 23 straight games, the longest streak in the FBS.

3. Johnson has caught a pass in 48 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the FBS.

Sixth-ranked Ohio State looks to strengthen its case for a College Football Playoff berth when it faces No. 21 Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship game on Saturday in Indianapolis. Ohio State eviscerated seventh-ranked Michigan 62-39 to capture the Big Ten East Division title and vault into contention for a postseason spot, but No. 4 Georgia and fifth-ranked Oklahoma are potential roadblocks in their path to the playoff as the Buckeyes aim to win their second consecutive conference championship game.

"When you start using terms like national championship and playoffs, that's very rare air," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer told reporters. "That's why we have a job to do ... to go win the Big Ten championship and worry about that down the road." Northwestern is making its first Big Ten Championship game appearance after ending Wisconsin's dominance in the West division. The Wildcats have won seven straight conference games, including a 24-16 victory over Illinois to capture the Land of Lincoln Trophy last week, and hope to ride the momentum by knocking off the Buckeyes for the first time since 2004. "I'm fired up to take the purple down to Indy as every year our goal is to win the Big Ten West and we've gotten over that hump," Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald told reporters. "We have an opportunity to take the team to the Rose Bowl and if that doesn't motivate you then I don't know what does."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Ohio State -14

ABOUT NORTHWESTERN (8-4, 8-1 Big Ten): Clayton Thorson completed 12-of-18 passes for 110 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding another on the ground as the Wildcats downed the Fighting Illini for the fourth consecutive time. Linebacker Paddy Fisher earned All-Big Ten First Team honors after making 92 tackles and forcing three fumbles, while defensive end Joe Gaziano was named to the second team following six sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 2018. Fitzgerald was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year after guiding the Wildcats to eight conference wins, which matched a single-season program record.



ABOUT OHIO STATE (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten): Dwayne Haskins continued his push for the Heisman Trophy as he threw for 396 yards and equaled a program record with six touchdown passes in the win against Michigan. Haskins was named the Big Ten Player of the Week for a record sixth time after his dominant display against the Wolverines, breaking the old mark of five set by former Heisman Trophy winner and former Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith in 2006. Defensive tackle Dre'mont Jones was selected to the Big Ten First Team after registering 7.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss to go along with a pair of touchdowns while Chase Young earned second-team honors.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Ohio State has won six consecutive meetings with Northwestern.

2. Haskins set Big Ten single-season records with 4,081 passing yards and 42 touchdowns.

3. The Wildcats have won 15 of their last 16 Big Ten games dating back to last year.

PREDICTION: Ohio State 49, Northwestern 20

Clemson Tigers vs. Pittsburgh Panthers Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NCAAF Predictions 28th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/28/2018

Not many ACC teams can claim wins over Clemson in recent years, but Pittsburgh is one of them. The Panthers will try to play spoiler once again when they face the No. 2 Tigers on Saturday in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, N.C.

The Panthers handed Clemson a 43-42 home loss in the most recent meeting in 2016 - the Tigers' only loss en route to the national championship. Another loss to Pittsburgh would cost the Tigers their fourth consecutive ACC title, and it might deny them a chance to play for another national crown. Clemson has hardly been challenged lately, winning its past seven games by at least 20 points, though the vaunted defense had its most worrisome performance of the season in last week's 56-35 victory over rival South Carolina. Pittsburgh had its four-game winning streak snapped with a 24-3 loss at Miami last week as the offense inexplicably fell flat after totaling 86 points in the previous two contests.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ABC. LINE: Clemson -27.5

ABOUT CLEMSON (12-0, 8-0 ACC): The Tigers have been dominant on both sides of the ball as they rank third in the nation in total offense and seventh in defense. Clemson boasts one of the most prolific - and most balanced - offenses in the nation with freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence (2,488 yards, 22 touchdowns, four interceptions) and running back Travis Etienne (1,307 yards, 19 TDs) leading the way. The defense has been especially tough against the run, allowing more than 117 rushing yards once and holding seven opponents to 90 yards or fewer on the ground.



ABOUT PITTSBURGH (7-5, 6-2): The Panthers averaged 40.8 points during their four-game run to clinch the ACC Coastal Division title, but managed only 200 total yards and did not find the end zone last week. To have a chance Saturday, they'll need a big rebound from running backs Qadree Ollison (1,134 yards, 10 TDs) and Darrin Hall (935 yards, nine TDs), and quarterback Kenny Pickett (1,825 yards, 12 TDs, 5 interceptions) can't make many back-breaking mistakes. They'll likely need to put up some points, because a defense that allows 399.9 yards and 27.8 points per game will have a tough time shutting down the Tigers.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Clemson has won eight consecutive games in December dating to a loss to Virginia Tech in the 2011 ACC Championship.

2. The Tigers have scored at least 27 points in a school-record 12 straight contests.

3. Pitt has won its last four games against top-three teams when unranked, including the 2016 victory over No. 2 Clemson and a 24-14 win over No. 2 Miami to close the 2017 regular season.

PREDICTION: Clemson 37, Pittsburgh 13

Milwaukee Bucks vs. New York Knicks Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NBA Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Milwaukee Bucks are more than just Giannis Antetokounmpo, and when the supporting cast steps up, the team is very dangerous. The Bucks will try to pull off consecutive wins when they visit the New York Knicks for a brief one-game road trip.

Antetokounmpo collected 36 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday but the biggest shot of the game belonged to swingman Khris Middleton, who drained a 3-pointer in the final seconds to give Milwaukee a 116-113 victory. "That's a big shot," Middleton told reporters. "You dream about that. You work on that as a kid growing up, and in the moment, you just live for it. And then sometimes you miss, sometimes you make it. You just have to shoot it." The Knicks are sliding again with losses to Detroit and Philadelphia following a season-best three-game winning streak. "All of it is a learning process for them," New York coach David Fizdale told reporters after a 117-91 loss to the 76ers on Wednesday. "Coming off a tough loss against Detroit ... then coming in here and you're playing against, quite arguably, a contender. This team is knocking on that door, especially with Jimmy (Butler) now. The Sixers came out with the right mentality. They weren't going to mess around with us."

TV: 5 p.m. ET, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), MSG (New York)

ABOUT THE BUCKS (15-6): Point guard Malcolm Brogdon went 4-of-16 from the floor in a 110-107 loss at Charlotte on Monday but bounced back with 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting Wednesday. Brogdon buried all six of his 3-point attempts in the win and is shooting 47.4 percent from beyond the arc. "Just being aggressive where I can," Brogdon told reporters. "It's different every night for me. Some nights I'm going to drive the whole night, some nights it's going to be a mixture, some nights like tonight I'm going to shoot the whole night. It's just really making mental adjustments based on how your teammates are playing and how the other team's playing."

ABOUT THE KNICKS (7-16): New York is trying to develop young talent and is still waiting for 2017 first-round pick Frank Ntilikina to blossom into a scoring threat. The former No. 8 overall pick went scoreless in each of the last two games on a combined 0-of-8 shooting off the bench. "(I make) the easy play, getting teammates involved," Ntilikina, who averages 2.7 assists, told reporters. "It's not always about scoring. I'm going to do what I do to bring the most to the team. If I'm not scoring, I'll try to do something else."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Bucks C Brook Lopez is 4-of-27 from 3-point range over the last four games.

2. Knicks SG Tim Hardaway Jr. went 1-of-11 from the floor on Wednesday and is shooting 24.6 percent over the last four contests.

3. Milwaukee took the last six in the series, including a 124-113 home win on Oct. 22.

PREDICTION: Bucks 116, Knicks 106

Golden State Warriors vs. Detroit Pistons Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NBA Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

Point guard Stephen Curry returns from an 11-game absence when the Golden State Warriors attempt to end their recent road woes with a game against the host Detroit Pistons on Saturday. Curry was sidelined with a strained left groin injury and he will look to help the Warriors halt a five-game road losing streak.

Golden State has badly missed Curry since he was hurt on Nov. 8 and coach Steve Kerr is eager to see the two-time MVP on the court. "Everything gets better," Kerr told reporters of having Curry back. "Food tastes better. Your guys' questions get better. Obviously we've been looking forward to getting him back, but again I'm proud of the way the guys have fought without him and hopefully Draymond (Green) won't be too far behind him and we'll have a better flow, better feel for who our team really is." Green (toe) will miss his eighth straight contest on Saturday as the Warriors try to tame a hot Detroit squad that posted a 107-88 win over the Chicago Bulls on Friday for its fourth straight win and eighth in the past 10 games. "It is an opportunity. It's not going to make or break our year," Pistons coach Dwane Casey told reporters in his postgame press conference of facing the Warriors. "It is an opportunity to compete against one of the best teams in our league and I don't have any doubt that our guys will come compete and play hard."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCS Bay Area (Golden State), FS Detroit

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (15-8): Star forward Kevin Durant is on an incredible roll in which he has topped 40 points in three straight games and is averaging 48 points during the stretch. Durant had 51 points and 11 rebounds in Thursday's 131-128 overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors, marking the second time in his career he has had at least 50 points and 10 rebounds in a contest. "My only focus is being the best version of me that I can each possession on both ends," Durant told reporters of his strong stretch. "Once you just focus on that, you get lost in the game. Makes or misses or turnovers or mistakes really don't matter. Just move onto the next play. Try not to have a lot of mistakes, but if you do have one, just move on."

ABOUT THE PISTONS (12-7): Guard Reggie Jackson was solid against the Bulls with 20 points and he knocked down a career-high six 3-pointers in eight attempts. "Reggie was special. His play was unselfish," Detroit point guard Ish Smith told reporters afterward. "If they brought the double (team), he kicked it out. Reggie was on automatic. He got us off to a good start and we just played off that." Jackson has scored 20 or more points in three of the past four games and is averaging 20.5 points during the stretch.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Warriors have won 12 of the past 14 meetings.

2. Detroit C Andre Drummond had 19 points and 20 rebounds against the Bulls and he has seven outings of 20 or more rebounds this season.

3. Golden State F Jonas Jerebko - formerly of Detroit - scored a season-best 20 points against Toronto.

PREDICTION: Warriors 118, Pistons 114

Brooklyn Nets vs. Washington Wizards Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

Nets vs. Wizards Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 12/01/2018

The Brooklyn Nets attempt to bounce back from their fifth consecutive setback when they visit the Washington Wizards on Saturday. Brooklyn nearly ended its skid on Friday but ultimately fell 131-125 in double-overtime against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.

The game at Washington is the only one on the road in an eight-game stretch for the Nets but they didn't take advantage of the first segment by losing all four games. Guard D'Angelo Russell recorded 26 points for his 10th 20-point effort of the season against the Grizzlies, while small forward DeMarre Carroll had his best performance of the campaign with 21 points and 12 rebounds. The Wizards are also struggling by dropping back-to-back contests by an average of 23 points, including getting routed 123-98 by the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. Small forward Otto Porter Jr. missed the game for personal reasons but will likely return to play against the Nets.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, YES (Brooklyn), NBCS Washington

ABOUT THE NETS (8-15): Backup guard Spencer Dinwiddie scored 15 points against Memphis for his 19th straight double-digit outing as a crucial deadline nears. Brooklyn has until Dec. 8 to offer Dinwiddie a four-year, $47.5 million extension and the fifth-year pro told reporters that he hopes the organization offers the deal, even if it might be less than what he could land in free agency. "I'd love to have an extension. I'd love to be here for a long time," Dinwiddie told reporters. "If I don't get an extension, I'll be looking forward to unrestricted free agency and going through the season trying to help the Nets win games as much as possible. Either I'm going to sign an extension or I'm going to be an unrestricted free agent, simple as that. The ball is very much in (general manager) Sean Marks and the Nets' court."

ABOUT THE WIZARDS (8-14): Veteran center Dwight Howard underwent a lumbar microdiscectomy on Friday in hopes of solving his issues with gluteal pain and nerve issues that have left him in pain when he sits down. Doctors believe a herniated disc in the L4/L5 area of the spine was causing the intense pain and Howard - who has played in just nine games - will miss two to three more months. "We had a game plan with Dwight being in the mix and shoring up our rim protection and rebounding issues," Washington coach Scott Brooks told reporters in assessing how the absence of Howard affects the club. "We struggle rebounding the ball. We just have to keep rebounding by committee."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Dinwiddie had 25 points and eight assists as the Nets posted a 115-104 win over the host Wizards on Nov. 16.

2. Washington PG John Wall (11 points on 4-of-15 shooting) and SF Markieff Morris (two points, 1-of-10) were a combined 5-of-25 against Philadelphia.

3. Nets F Joe Harris (hip/groin) sat out against Memphis and is unlikely to play Saturday.

Boston Celtics vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NBA Predictions 1st December 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 12/01/2018

The Minnesota Timberwolves have done well to recover from the Jimmy Butler saga and can move above .500 for the first time this season when they host the Boston Celtics on Saturday. A 128-89 rout of the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday gave the Timberwolves four straight wins and seven in nine games since they traded away Butler.

Robert Covington, one the players who came over from Philadelphia in that blockbuster deal, led the way with 21 points and nine rebounds as Minnesota improved to 9-3 at home while holding its opponent under 100 points for the third straight time. "It's big time when you get a team like that and play an organization like that, and we come out and play defense the way we did," center Karl-Anthony Towns told reporters after Wednesday's win. "It's a wonderful sight and it shows the hard work we're putting in day-in and day-out." The Celtics are also coming off a lopsided win after toppling Cleveland 128-95 on Friday. Kyrie Irving scored 29 points on 11-of-15 shooting as Boston shot a season-high 53.3 percent in its best offensive effort of the season.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBA TV, NBCS Boston, FS North (Minnesota)

ABOUT THE CELTICS (12-10): Boston has averaged 126 points in its two straight wins, which happens to coincide with Marcus Smart stepping into the starting lineup in place of the injured Jaylen Brown (back). Smart had 12 points and team highs of seven assists and three steals in the win over the Cavaliers and his play has left Brown wondering if he'll be forced to return to a bench role. "Possibly," Brown told reporters when asked about playing as a reserve when he comes back. "Especially if we are winning. Whatever it is that needs to be done to figure it out. Everybody has talent, everybody has ability, but obviously we have to make something work here. ... If we're winning, everything else will be fine."

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (11-11): Covington is averaging 22.5 points in two games since a 1-for-18 shooting effort against Chicago, but he is being lauded for his impact on the defensive end. "Overall just bringing that defensive mindset here is very contagious and a lot of people are picking up on it," Covington told reporters. "That's part of my character. I'm very approachable and I talk to guys in a way that I know how the game is going." Towns and Derrick Rose added 16 points apiece in the win over the Spurs while rookie Josh Okogie chipped in 12 in only 10 minutes.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Brown told reporters he hopes to return for this one.

2. Rose hit 4-of-5 3-pointers Wednesday and is shooting 48.6 percent from beyond the arc.

3. The Celtics have won each of the last four meetings.

Chicago Bulls vs. Houston Rockets Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NBA Predictions 1st December 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 12/01/2018

The Houston Rockets look to follow up their best performance of the campaign when they host the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. Houston halted a four-game slide with a convincing 136-105 rout of the San Antonio Spurs on Friday and faces a Chicago squad that has dropped a season-worst five straight games.

The Rockets were big disappointments over the first 20 games of the season but were outstanding in contest No. 21 while establishing season bests for points and 3-point baskets (22). "We have to build on this victory," Rockets center Clint Capela said during a postgame television interview. "We just have to stay locked in and remember what we did (Friday) and re-produce it (Saturday) night and we'll be OK." There certainly is a chance for another strong showing against Chicago, which has lost six consecutive road games after Friday's 107-88 setback against the Detroit Pistons. The Bulls are 2-9 on the road as they make their third stop on a four-game excursion.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBCS Chicago, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston)

ABOUT THE BULLS (5-18): Rookie forward Wendell Carter Jr. was the bright spot against Detroit as he scored a season-high 28 points on 11-of-18 shooting. It was the second time Carter - the seventh overall pick - topped 20 points, the other being a 25-point effort against the Denver Nuggets on Oct. 31. "Wendell was hot, so I had to get him the ball," Chicago shooting guard Zach LaVine (season-low eight points) told reporters. "He had a career night with all those points and with good defense, but the rest of us didn't play well enough to win."

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (10-11): Point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) returned from a three-absence and contributed 14 points and 10 assists in the dismantling of the Spurs. "When I'm out, we're a different team," Paul told reporters afterward. "When James (Harden) is out, Eric (Gordon) is out, any of us are out, we're a different team. I think we get a chance to alleviate a little bit of pressure on each other, and we played the right way." Harden recorded 23 points and 10 assists while the red-hot Gordon made seven 3-pointers and scored 26 points, and is averaging 26.8 points and connected on 23-of-48 3-point attempts over the past four games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Rockets have won the past five meetings, including 96-88 on the road Nov. 3.

2. Houston backup C-PF Nene (calf) is slated to make his season debut Saturday.

3. Chicago PF Lauri Markkanen (elbow) took part in Friday's mid-day shootaround and is expected to make his season debut sometime next week.

Toronto Raptors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NBA Predictions 1st December 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 12/01/2018

The Toronto Raptors will hope to avoid a letdown when they follow up a dramatic home win against the defending champs with a visit to the sinking Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. The Raptors have won a season-high seven in a row, including Thursday's 131-128 overtime victory over the Golden State Warriors.

Kawhi Leonoard scored a season-high 37 points and two others had at least 20 as Toronto boosted its NBA-best record to 19-4. "We were able to make shots, we were able to get some stops in overtime," Leonard told reporters after the win. "It's a building block for us, and I'm happy we got the win." The Cavaliers have dropped three in a row, including Friday's 128-95 loss at Boston. Rookie Collin Sexton made 6-of-18 shots from the floor in the defeat but he still managed to hit the 15-point mark for the ninth time in his last 11 games.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TSN (Toronto), FS Ohio (Cleveland)

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (19-4): Paskal Siakam emerged as a significant scoring threat in November, averaging 16.9 points on 65.8 percent shooting during the month. "His confidence is very high," coach Nick Nurse told the media of Siakam. "It just keeps inching along." Kyle Lowry shook off a rough shooting night (4-for-14) to produce 12 assists against the Warriors and he continues to lead the league in that category with 10.3 per game.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (4-17): Friday saw the team debut of guard Alec Burks, who was acquired in Wednesday's deal that sent veteran Kyle Korver to Utah, and he finished with 15 points, six assists and four rebounds off the bench. Cleveland is still operating without Sam Dekker (ankle) George Hill (shoulder) and Davis Nwaba (knee). Guard Jordan Clarkson is averaging 20.5 points over his last two games and has a total of one turnover in 54 minutes during that stretch.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Lowry had 27 points in a 116-104 victory over Cleveland at home earlier this season.

2. Cavaliers C Tristan Thompson recorded his ninth double-double in a span of 12 games with 13 points and 12 rebounds at Boston.

3. Toronto is averaging 120.3 points during its seven-game winning streak.

Indiana Pacers vs. Sacramento Kings Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NBA Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Sacramento Kings are beginning to fade after a hot start and dropped the first two of a three-game homestand to fall a game under .500. The Kings will try to avoid a winless homestand and get back to even when they host the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.

Sacramento, which embarks on a four-game road trip beginning Tuesday that includes a stop in Indiana, surrendered 133 points each to the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers in the first two games of the homestand to watch the overall slide reach three in a row. "For us this year, it's been defense," Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox told reporters. "That's the end of the court that we have to be able to get better at. If we do, I think it will be a surge in the team. When our defense is up, our offense picks up even more." The Pacers took the first two stops on their four-game west coast trip at Utah and Phoenix before dropping a 104-96 decision at the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. "Three and one (on a road trip) is really good, especially on the West Coast," Indiana point guard Darren Collison told reporters. "It would be our fault if we lose our minds and don't get the next game (at Sacramento). Let's focus on the next game. We know we didn't play our best basketball (at Los Angeles). Neither one of us shot the ball well. The NBA is about bouncing back. Let's see what we do next game."

TV: 10 p.m. ET, FS Indiana, NBCS California (Sacramento)

ABOUT THE PACERS (13-9): Indiana power forward Domantas Sabonis is enjoying a solid road trip and collected 20 points and 15 rebounds in 29 minutes on Thursday to notch his fourth straight double-double and second consecutive game with at least 20 points and 15 boards. "He's playing really good basketball," Pacers coach Nate McMillan told reporters of Sabonis. "(We) tried to play him pretty much that whole second half. He's doing some good things for us, but we need (it to be) collectively. As a unit, (we) need to be collective out there and play good basketball." Sabonis leads the team in shooting percentage (65.2) and is averaging 15 points and 10.2 rebounds in just 24.8 minutes off the bench.

ABOUT THE KINGS (10-11): Sacramento's offense is led by Fox, but a host of young players are getting involved and are enjoying success along with the team. Shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, 26, scored a team-high 26 points in 35 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 133-121 loss to the Clippers for his second straight 20-point outburst and third in 10 games this season. Rookie power forward Marvin Bagley III collected 18 points and 10 rebounds on Thursday for his third double-double in five games before leaving with back tightness.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Kings PF Nemanja Bjelica went 8-of-9 from the floor in the last two games and is shooting 54.3 percent on the season.

2. Pacers All-Star SG Victor Oladipo (knee) sat out the last six games and is questionable for Saturday.

3. Indiana took the last four in the series and scored 106 points in each of its last two trips to Sacramento.

by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

Two-time Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson plays his first game in Ottawa since a blockbuster trade to San Jose during the offseason when the struggling Sharks visit the surging Senators on Saturday afternoon. San Jose dropped the first three contests of its five-game road trip as Karlsson was kept off the scoresheet while a combined minus-3 in those contests, making him a minus-9 this season - second-worst on the club to No. 2 defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic (minus-10).

"When (coach) Peter (DeBoer) first got here it took 40 to 50 games, and we've got some big pieces here and a lot of new faces so we'll keep building, keep working towards finding it a little bit better." Ottawa has won two straight after Thursday's 3-0 victory over the Rangers in New York as Craig Anderson halted a four-game losing streak with 27 saves for his first shutout of the season. "This was one of the few games that we've actually come together for a full 60 minutes," Anderson told reporters. "We've had spurts of games where we show what we can do, offensively and defensively, and tonight was a full 60 minutes. It was just outstanding to be back there for the guys." Senators forward Matt Duchene, who becomes a free agent at season's end, recorded a goal and an assist Thursday and leads the team with 12 scores and 33 points.

ABOUT THE SENATORS (11-12-3): Duchene, who has two goals and four assists in his last four games, is a minus-13 with nine goals and 17 points in 25 games versus San Jose.

Mark Stone (11 goals, 28 points) has recorded two goals and two assists in his last three games while Ryan Dzingel (10 goals) registered his 100th career point with an assist Thursday.

OVERTIME

1. Ottawa has the worst penalty-killing unit in the league at 70.1 percent despite not allowing a power-play goal in the last four games (seven chances) while San Jose is 6-for-15 with a man advantage during that span.

2. Senators D Mark Borowiecki is eligible to return from injured reserve after missing the last four games with an undisclosed injury.

3. The clubs have split the last two season series (four meetings) with San Jose F Tomas Hertl scoring three goals in 2017-18 to give him six in eight contests versus Ottawa.

Brock Boeser's first two goals since returning from an injury that cost him nearly a month wasn't enough for the reeling Vancouver Canucks as they lost 4-3 to Vegas on Thursday - their 10th defeat in 11 games. The Canucks will look to turn the page on a terrible November when the Dallas Stars finish up a four game road trip in Vancouver on Saturday afternoon.

Another closely contested battle ended in defeat for Vancouver Thursday as William Karlsson's shorthanded game-winning goal late in the third period handed the Canucks their seventh one-goal defeat in their last 11 losses. "It stings a little bit more knowing we played a good game," Vancouver defenseman Ben Hutton told the media. "There are going to be times when you don't play your best and still get two points, but tonight we played well for 60 minutes. We've just got to stick to the system because there's the sense that we're playing well." Dallas is looking to leave Western Canada with consecutive victories after Tyler Seguin scored 24 seconds into overtime to give the Stars a 4-3 win in Calgary Wednesday. Captain Jamie Benn made up for the two minor penalties he committed in the third period - his second leading to a game-tying goal by Johnny Gaudreau - by assisting on Seguin's OT winner that gave the Stars their first win in five chances this season on the second night of a back-to-back.

TV: 4 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Dallas), Sportsnet Pacific (Vancouver)

ABOUT THE STARS (13-10-3): Benn scored his team-leading 10th goal in the second period Wednesday but it was the drive he showed in needing to redeem his miscues that caught the attention of his teammates. "Obviously he played that overtime with a little guilt," Seguin told reporters. "I'm happy how hard he worked. He's our leader and captain and everyone follows him." The Stars are holding on to the last wild-card spot in the West as they have four wins in 10 games since they lost defenseman John Klingberg to injury and they have missed their power-play anchor while going 3-for-29 with the man advantage since he went down.

ABOUT THE CANUCKS (11-14-3): The Canucks got the production they needed Thursday from their top guys with Bo Horvat chipping in with two assists and rookie Elias Pettersson recording his 22nd point in as many games with a highlight no-look pass to Boeser to open the scoring. Defenseman Alex Edler potted his first goal of the season against Vegas and is expected to play Saturday despite being put through the league's concussion protocol after a heavy hit late in the third from the Golden Knights' Ryan Reaves. Vancouver's health - or lack thereof - continues to be a story as Edler was in his third game back after missing 15 games with a knee injury, forward Antoine Roussel was a late scratch against Vegas with a shoulder injury, and they have three experienced regulars already on injured reserve - forwards Sven Baertschi, Brandon Sutter, and Jay Beagle.

OVERTIME

1. Stars G Ben Bishop (lower body) is expected to return between the pipes Saturday after a five-game absence.

2. Vancouver had nine points (3-8-3) in November - second-fewest in the league to the Blackhawks' eight (3-8-2).

3. Vancouver leads the NHL with the most power play goals against (25) and most times shorthanded (105).

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Minnesota Wild Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Toronto Maple Leafs have made themselves at home on the road by winning nine of their first 10 contests away from Scotiabank Arena before falling short in each of their last two. The Maple Leafs hope to end that modest road skid when they begin a stretch of seven of their next eight games away from home on Saturday against the Minnesota Wild.

Auston Matthews returned from a 14-game absence due to a shoulder injury to score two goals and set up another in Toronto's 5-3 victory versus San Jose on Wednesday. The former top overall pick has recorded multi-point performances in eight of his 12 games this season with the Maple Leafs, who have won three in a row and 10 of their last 13. Minnesota, conversely, has cooled off with back-to-back losses and four in its last six heading into a tilt versus Toronto, against which it is 8-1-0 in its last nine meetings and 7-2-0 all-time in St. Paul, Minn. "It is the Maple Leafs, it's Hockey Night in Canada, most of us are Canadian," Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. "You want to put your best foot forward. A lot of your family and friends are watching and you don't want a clunker when they're watching."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, CBC, Sportsnet1 (Toronto), FS North-Plus (Minnesota)

ABOUT THE MAPLE LEAFS (18-8-0): John Tavares recorded his third multi-goal performance of the season by scoring twice in the first period against the Sharks to give him three goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. The recent spurt aside, the 28-year-old Tavares still has collected 18 of his 30 points on the road and has notched 12 (six goals, six assists) in 13 career matches with Minnesota. Linemate Mitch Marner set up a career high-tying three goals for the second straight contest and has eight of his NHL second-best 30 assists in his last three contests.

ABOUT THE WILD (14-9-2): Zach Parise extended his point streak to six games by scoring the ninth of his team-leading 12 goals in the last 13 contests during Thursday's 4-2 setback to Columbus. The Minneapolis native has recorded 20 points (11 goals, nine assists) in 32 career encounters versus Toronto while fellow forward Eric Staal had three assists in last season's series to boost his point total to 50 (23 goals, 27 assists) in 45 career matches with the Maple Leafs. While Devan Dubnyk owns a 5-2-1 career mark with one shutout in nine games against Toronto, St. Paul native Alex Stalock turned aside all 28 shots he faced in a 2-0 win over the Maple Leafs on Dec. 14.

OVERTIME

1. Minnesota C Mikko Koivu has 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in his last eight games.

2. Toronto D Morgan Rielly has 11 assists in 13 contests against Western Conference opponents this season.

3. The Wild have scored a power-play goal in 11 of their last 15 games.

PREDICTION: Wild 4, Maple Leafs 2

Philadelphia Flyers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
Flyers vs. Penguins Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers find themselves far removed from last season's respective second- and third-place finishes, as the former sits in sixth in the Metropolitan Division while the latter's last-place standing resulted in an organizational purge this week. The Keystone State rivals meet for the first time this season in Pittsburgh on Saturday since the clubs' high-scoring first-round playoff series in the spring.

Captain Sidney Crosby's 11th career hat trick was upstaged by the performance of fellow Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, native Nathan MacKinnon (one goal, three assists) in Pittsburgh's 6-3 setback to Colorado on Wednesday. The two-time Hart Trophy recipient, who has 14 points (seven goals, seven assists) in his last eight games overall, has tormented Philadelphia to the tune of a staggering 93 points (38 goals, 55 assists) in 63 regular-season contests and 13 (six goals, seven assists) in the teams' first-round series in April. The Flyers have fallen a long way since that postseason appearance, ultimately leading to the firing of general manager (Ron Hextall) on Monday and assistant GM (Chris Pryor) and assistant coach (Gord Murphy) two days later after the team squandered a two-goal lead in the third period of Tuesday's 4-3 setback to Ottawa. "For me right now, it doesn't matter who we're playing," Philadelphia coach Dave Hakstol said. "Obviously, playing Pittsburgh should add a little bit to it for the group in here. I know it does for our fan base. But this is about us and what we're doing, and we've got to really take that to heart and take it upon ourselves here."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NHL Network, NBCS Philadelphia, AT&T Sports Net-Pittsburgh

ABOUT THE FLYERS (10-12-2): With Philadelphia having been shut out twice and scoring just 15 goals in its last seven contests (1-5-1), Hakstol shuffled James van Riemsdyk and Wayne Simmonds to the second line with Nolan Patrick in Friday's practice while Michael Raffl, Scott Laughton and Jakub Voracek comprised the third. "Me and Simmer have had some good chemistry out there," the 29-year-old van Riemsdyk said, per Philly.com. "Even though we do some things pretty similarly, I think there's some different elements that we both kind of have, and (can) expand our games a little bit because we don't have to be the ones relied on to always be standing at the net." Top-line center Sean Couturier (team-leading 10 goals) has been held off the scoresheet in back-to-back contests after erupting for 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in his previous 11 games.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (10-9-5): Jake Guentzel set up Crosby's first goal in the second period against the Avalanche to push his point total to eight (five goals, three assists) in his last six games, during which Pittsburgh has posted a 3-1-2 mark. The 24-year-old flustered Philadelphia with 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in six games during the first-round series while Patric Hornqvist added six (two goals, four assists) in four contests -- including a goal and two assists in the series-clinching 8-5 win on April 22. Hornqvist could be back in the lineup after returning to practice on Friday following a three-game absence due to a concussion.

OVERTIME

1. Philadelphia captain Claude Giroux has seven (one goal, six assists) of his club-best 29 points in his last five games.

2. Pittsburgh C Evgeni Malkin (team-leading 21 assists, 30 points) has followed a seven-game point streak with a minus-4 rating in the last two contests.

3. Philadelphia's Michal Neuvirth (lower body) will back up fellow G Anthony Stolarz on Saturday after being medically cleared to return to the lineup.

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Islanders Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The New York Islanders return "home" to face the surging Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday as Nassau Coliseum opens its doors to an NHL regular-season game for the first time since 2015. New York, which has called Brooklyn's Barclays Center home since the start of the 2015-16 season, will play 20 of its remaining 30 home games this year on Long Island - where they won four Stanley Cups (1980-83) - with more to come as its new arena at Belmont Park is scheduled for a 2021 opening.

"I love that building. I love playing there," Islanders forward Josh Bailey told reporters about the Coliseum. "It seemed to get a bad rap from people once in a while because it was a little older. But the atmosphere that goes in that rink, I think, is unmatched around the league." Columbus doesn't seem care where it plays, seeing as it owns the best road record in the Metropolitan Division at 8-4-1 and is 8-2-1 in its last 11 overall following Thursday's 4-2 victory over Minnesota. New York, meanwhile, hopes a return to its old haunts will give it a boost as the Metropolitan is shaping up to be the most competitive division in the league. "I think you have to understand that's the parity of this league, that's the NHL," New York's Anders Lee told reporters after scoring in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss at Boston. "It comes down to an inch or two or a bounce. You just keep your head up, keep focused. Understand it's a long year."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Columbus), MSG Plus (New York)

ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS (15-8-2): Artemi Panarin has scored in his last two games, giving him nine points in his last six contests and raising his club-high total to 27. Cam Atkinson (299 career points, 26 this season) also scored Thursday and has 10 of his team-most 16 goals over the last nine games. Center Pierre-Luc Dubois had two assists versus Minnesota, giving him two goals and three assists in the last two games and 12 of each this season while defenseman Zach Werenski has an assist in two straight contests, giving him 99 career points.

ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (12-9-3): Josh Bailey, who shares the team lead with 21 points, has been kept off the scoresheet in five of the last six games - the club is 1-3-1 in those contests - and is two shy of 400 for his career. Mathew Barzal (club-most 18 assists, 21 points) has two goals and seven assists in his last 10 games but is a team-worst minus-10 this season. Lee has scored five of his eight goals on the power play while all nine of Brock Nelson's club-high nine goals have come at even strength.

OVERTIME

1. New York is 0-for-12 on the power play over its last six games and has killed only 3-of-6 penalties over the past three contests.

2. Columbus coach John Tortorella told reporters that LW Anthony Duclair (eight goals), who missed Thursday's game, is "dinged up" and day-to-day.

3. The Blue Jackets have won three of four games in each of the last two season series with Atkinson and Dubois scoring three goals apiece in 2017-18, giving Atkinson 13 goals and 23 points in 21 games versus the Islanders.

PREDICTION: Islanders 3, Blue Jackets 2

Winnipeg Jets vs. New Jersey Devils Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
Jets vs. Devils Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

Patrik Laine ended one of the best months for any player in NHL history with a flourish and hopes to continue producing when December begins as his Winnipeg Jets visit the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Laine scored twice in Thursday's 6-5 victory at Chicago to finish with the most goals (18) in a calendar month in almost 25 years and became the fourth-youngest player to reach 100 goals in his career.

"I knew (100) was going to come eventually," the 20-year-old Laine told reporters after scoring the most goals in any month since Pavel Bure recorded 19 in March 1994. "When you work hard you're going to get it at some point. Good to get it out of the way and try to chase 200 now. It was a good win." Wayne Gretzky, Jimmy Carson and Brian Bellows are the only players to reach 100 at a younger age than Laine, who had a goal in eight of 12 games last month to push his season total to a league-high 21 and a point in nine of them, but was blanked in a 5-2 victory over New Jersey on Nov. 11. The Devils have lost four straight and six of seven after a 6-3 loss at Washington on Friday, dropping to the bottom of the Metropolitan Division after a 4-0-0 start. Reigning Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall had two assists against the Capitals to reach 500 career points and is two goals from 200.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Sportsnet360, CITY (Winnipeg), MSG Plus 2 (New Jersey)

ABOUT THE JETS (14-8-2): While Laine was grabbing all the headlines in November, fellow forward Nikolaj Ehlers was finding his top form with seven goals and 11 points in 12 games after his hat trick Thursday. "He's just one of those really dynamic guys and when he's on his game he's really tough to get a handle on," Winnipeg captain Blake Wheeler told reporters of Ehlers, who had one goal in October. "He darts in and out of holes; he's proven he can be a pretty explosive scorer." The Jets are inexperienced on the blueline with Joe Morrow (lower body) questionable and Dustin Byfuglien (concussion) along with Dmitry Kulikov (upper body) out.

ABOUT THE DEVILS (9-11-4): Hall leads the team with 26 points and Kyle Palmieri (team-best 12 goals, nine assists) is second with 21, but the veteran right wing has only one point in his last seven contests. Former first-overall pick Nico Hischier (15 points) snapped a mini slump with a goal and an assist Friday and fellow center Travis Zajac ended a six-game point drought with his eighth tally of the season. The Devils are not getting much help from their power play, which is 1-of-28 over the last 12 games after coming up empty in five attempts against Washington, and they have given up 19 goals during their current losing streak (0-2-2).

OVERTIME

1. New Jersey F Michael McLeod, the 12th-overall pick in the 2016 draft, logged 5:36 of ice time in his NHL debut Friday.

2. Wheeler leads the Jets with 32 points and registered one goal to go along with six assists in the past three games.

3. Winnipeg has won the last five meetings with the Devils after C Mark Scheifele scored twice earlier this month.

Detroit Red Wings vs. Boston Bruins Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Detroit Red Wings stumbled out of the gate with seven straight losses to open the season and the most lopsided defeat was an 8-2 beating at the hands of the Boston Bruins. The Red Wings earned a measure of revenge for that drubbing with a 3-2 overtime win on Nov. 21, but they will look to end a nine-game losing streak in Boston on Saturday night.

Detroit actually had dropped 11 in a row (playoffs included) at TD Garden, last winning a regular-season game in Beantown more than five years ago (Oct. 14, 2013). The Red Wings ended a more modest slide with Wednesday's 4-3 win over St. Louis, halting a string of three straight losses to improve to 10-4-1 since an ugly 1-7-2 start to the season. The injury-riddled Bruins have won three of four since the loss in Detroit and are 4-1-2 in their last seven despite scoring two goals of fewer six times in that span. "If we want to win games, we have to be dialed in and can't really afford to have a night off until we get our offense going," Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Detroit Plus, NESN (Boston)

ABOUT THE RED WINGS (11-11-3): Forward Todd Bertuzzi showed he has a knack of rising to the occasion, scoring twice on his own bobblehead night and delivering the game-winning goal in the third period. Bertuzzi had scored only once in the previous 10 games before banging home a rebound for the decisive tally. 'He's one of those guys that doesn't just work, he competes," coach Jeff Blashill said. "He finds ways to win pucks, gets stick on puck. We talk about hounding in the O-zone and hounding on the forecheck and that's what he does. He goes to the net and he's really good around the net."

ABOUT THE BRUINS (14-7-4): Despite the paucity of offense over the past two weeks, the Bruins have thrived behind the goaltending tandem of Tuukka Rask and Jaroslav Halak. Rask had a shaky first month of the season but posted a 1.96 goals-against average in November and will make back-to-back starts for the first time since mid-October. "I don't know. Maybe I just don't want to play in October," Rask said of his turnaround. "I don't know. You just kind of work hard in practice, try to get some shots and work with the goalie coach, and then when the game time comes, you try to be there."

OVERTIME

1. Red Wings F Andreas Athanasiou has seven goals in the last 10 games, including two against Boston on Nov. 21.

2. Bruins D Brandon Carlo is expected to return to the lineup following a nine-game injury absence.

3. Red Wings D Trevor Daley will miss Saturday's game after suffering a lower-body injury on Wednesday.

New York Rangers vs. Montreal Canadiens Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The New York Rangers are at a loss for their struggles away from home and they will seek their first regulation road victory of the season when they visit the skidding Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. The Rangers opened the two-game road trip with a 3-0 loss in Ottawa on Thursday night -- their 10th defeat in 12 games (3-7-2) away from Madison Square Garden.

New York's players are flummoxed by the wide disparity of success at home versus the road -- the Rangers are 10-4-0 at home but all three road wins have come beyond regulation. "I feel like it's not just one game, it's starting become a road thing and that's something we need to adjust and correct real quick," Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said. The Canadiens have more pressing concerns than New York -- Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Carolina marked the team's fifth consecutive defeat overall (0-3-2) and third in a row at home. "Obviously, it's a situation we got to turn around," Montreal captain Shea Weber said after Friday's practice. "We keep repeating ourselves: we did a lot of good things, but we didn't win last game."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, MSG2 (New York), TVAS, Sportsnet (Montreal)

ABOUT THE RANGERS (13-11-2): Though New York has dropped three of four and been shut out twice, forward Chris Kreider has six goals and 10 points in his last 10 games overall and seven points in the last seven matchups versus Montreal. The team's leading goal scorer with 13, Kreider was not interested in excuses for the lack of success on the road. "I know we're a young team, but we've got to figure out how to play on the road," said Kreider, who also is tied for the team lead with 21 points. "There's no road way to play, there's no home way to play - there's a right way to play."

ABOUT THE CANADIENS (11-9-5): Weber made his season debut in Tuesday's loss and did not ease back into the lineup, playing a game-high 25:19 and drawing an assist on Montreal's lone goal by Phillip Danault. Although Weber echoed Danault's sentiments that the Canadiens had two solid practices this week, he said he prefers game action. "I'd probably just rather play a bunch of games, get back into games," Weber said after Friday's practice. "It's good to practice and get things going that way, but I've had time to practice before and it wasn't the same as a game."

OVERTIME

1. Rangers rookie G Alexandar Georgiev will make his seventh start of the season Saturday.

2. Canadiens coach Claude Julien said he was undecided on the goalie rotation for the weekend back-to-back set.

3. New York recalled D Vinni Lettieri from Hartford of the American Hockey League.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Tampa Bay Lightning look to build off a successful homestand when they start a three-game road trip against teams out of playoff position Saturday night against the Sunshine State-rival Florida Panthers. The Lightning won four of five games on their homestand after edging Buffalo 5-4 on Thursday, but have some injury concerns as they head out on the road, where they are 7-3-1 on the season.

Ryan McDonagh, who has played at a Norris Trophy candidate level with 18 points and a plus-17 rating over the first 26 games, suffered an apparent head injury in Thursday's contest and is considered day-to-day while fellow top-four defenseman Anton Stralman (upper body) is still out. Tampa Bay has won four straight - two this season - and six of the last seven meetings with the Panthers, who knocked off Buffalo 3-2 in overtime on captain Aleksander Barkov's goal Friday. It was Florida's third win in nine games, but the Panthers gained a point for the third time in four contests (2-1-1) as they attempt to climb out of the Atlantic Division cellar. Left wing Jonathan Huberdeau has done his part recently for Florida, recording a goal and eight assists over the last four games to take over the team lead with 26 points.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Tampa Bay), FS Florida

ABOUT THE LIGHTNING (18-7-1): Rookie Erik Cernak (four assists, plus-6 rating, in nine games) has filled in nicely for Stralman and Slater Koekkoek, who played well when Victor Hedman was injured, would get the call if McDonagh can't go. Right wing Nikita Kucherov boasts three goals and 14 assists during his eight-game point streak and leads the team with 35 points - two more than linemate Brayden Point (team-high 18 goals). Louis Domingue has started nine straight games since No. 1 goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy (foot) went down, but could give way to rookie Connor Ingram at some point on the trip.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (10-10-4): Evgenii Dadonov scored his 11th goal Friday, one behind Mike Hoffman for the team lead, and boasts five points over the last four games to close within two of Huberdeau. Barkov recorded 14 points in 15 games during November and scored six of his nine goals over the past 12 contests while defenseman Keith Yandle had an assist Friday for the 399th of his career. Roberto Luongo (4-3-0, .902 save percentage), who has been out four games with a lower-body injury, has been skating with the team and could make his return to the lineup as early as Saturday.

OVERTIME

1. Florida F Jared McCann has registered four of his five goals on the season in the last seven contests.

2. Tampa Bay C Cedric Paquette owns five goals in 25 games, already matching last season's output in 56 contests.

3. The Panthers recorded a pair of power-play goals Friday and have scored at least one in 14 of the last 15 games.

PREDICTION: Lightning 5, Panthers 3

St. Louis Blues vs. Arizona Coyotes Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 1st December 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 12/01/2018

The Arizona Coyotes look to ride the wave of momentum after an impressive two-game road trip when they come home to play the struggling St. Louis Blues on Saturday night. The Coyotes edged Minnesota 4-3 on Tuesday to open the trek before rookie Adin Hill, forced into the net with the top two goalies injured, turned aside 29 shots for his first NHL shutout in a 3-0 victory at Nashville on Thursday.

"I thought we came out flying," Arizona center Nick Schmaltz told reporters after recording a goal and an assist Thursday in his second game with the team since being acquired from Chicago. "We had some good looks there, and I thought we stuck with it throughout the game and didn't get frustrated. ... We kept working and got rewarded." Schmaltz, who came over from the Blackhawks for forwards Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini, hopes to keep it going as the Coyotes seek a third straight win over the Blues. St. Louis looks to post back-to-back wins for the first time since Nov. 6 and 9 after coughing up a two-goal lead before beating Colorado 3-2 in overtime on defenseman Colton Parayko's goal. It was only the third victory in the last 10 games for the Blues, who own the second-least points in the league (21), and the second in five contests since Craig Berube took over as interim coach.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Midwest (St. Louis), FS Arizona

ABOUT THE BLUES (9-12-3): Right wing Vladimir Tarasenko has answered a 10-game goal drought with tallies in three straight games and owns 20 points - second on the team and seven behind center Ryan O'Reilly, who was kept off the scoresheet Friday. Parayko's goal was his first since Nov. 1 against Vegas and his first point in 10 games while fellow defenseman Joel Edmundson had a pair of assists. Veteran forward Alex Steen, who scored his sixth goal Friday, left the game with an upper-body injury after taking an elbow from Erik Johnson and his status for Saturday is uncertain.

ABOUT THE COYOTES (11-11-2): Hill, who has stopped all 35 shots in the three games he has played in the NHL this season, got his first start with Antti Raanta and Darcy Kuemper sidelined due to lower-body injuries. "You are putting a guy in that position and he wasn't nervous at all," Arizona coach Rick Tocchet told reporters of Hill, who made four starts with the team last season. "You're playing in a tough building, one of the best teams in the league and he did a nice job." Forward Clayton Keller has two of his team-leading seven goals in the last three games and tops the Coyotes with 15 points.

OVERTIME

1. St. Louis D Robert Bortuzzo returned to the lineup Friday after missing 16 games with a lower-body injury.

2. Arizona claimed G Calvin Pickard on waivers from Philadelphia on Thursday.

3. The Blues went 3-of-6 on the power play over the last two games after going 1-of-24 across the previous nine contests.

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Nashville Predators Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Nashville Predators have struggled to put the puck in the net of late while the Chicago Blackhawks generously have been allowing opponents to do precisely that at an alarming rate. The Central Division rivals will look to change the narrative at the other's expense on Saturday when they meet at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.

Nashville found itself shut out for the second time this season in a 3-0 setback to Adin Hill and Arizona on Thursday, falling to 1-2-0 on its season-high five-game homestand while mustering just 27 goals in its last 10 contests (4-5-1). "It's frustrating getting held off the scoreboard in our own rink against a new goaltender like they had," Predators forward Colton Sissons said. "It's pretty disappointing. We're just in a little bit of a funk here." While that may be true of the Predators, the Blackhawks are mired in a full-blown disaster as they've seen their goals-against average balloon to an NHL second-worst 3.65 per game following a 3-10-3 mark in their last 16 contests. "This hasn't been good enough and it's not OK," Chicago forward Marcus Kruger said after Thursday's 6-5 setback in Winnipeg. "I think we're all sick of losing here. We just got to be better."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, WGN (Chicago), FS Tennessee (Nashville)

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (9-12-5): Patrick Kane boosted his team-leading assist (16) and point (29) totals by setting up a goal against the Jets to push his point streak to three games (one goal, three assists). Alex DeBrincat also had an assist to give him at least a point in four straight contests (one goal, three assists). While the offensive production has been nice, Corey Crawford hasn't been too stingy of late as he has surrendered six goals in back-to-back outings and 20 during his four-game losing skid, although he turned aside 65 of 68 shots to split a pair of encounters with the Predators in 2017-18.

ABOUT THE PREDATORS (17-8-1): Pekka Rinne has yielded three goals on 25 shots in back-to-back outings to see his NHL-leading goals-against average elevate to a still-slim 1.85 this season. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner aims to get back on track versus Chicago, against which he turned aside 113 of 118 shots to post a 2-0-1 mark in last season's series. Filip Forsberg leads the team in goals (14) and points (22), although he has just two and four, respectively, in his last eight games.

OVERTIME

1. Chicago captain Jonathan Toews has scored eight of his 11 goals on the road this season.

2. Nashville C Ryan Johansen (club-best 17 assists) has been held off the scoresheet in six of his last eight contests.

3. Blackhawks C Artem Anisimov has four (two goals, two assists) of his 13 points in the last five games.

PREDICTION: Predators 3, Blackhawks 1

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers Preview and Predictions 12-01-2018

NHL Predictions 30th November 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 11/30/2018

The Vegas Golden Knights are surging up the Pacific Division standings and have a chance for the second-longest winning streak in franchise history when they cap off a three-game road trip with a visit to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. Since absorbing their worst defeat of the season in a 7-2 loss at Calgary on Nov. 19, Vegas has ripped off five straight victories.

The Golden Knights squandered a two-goal lead in the third period at Vancouver on Thursday night before William Karlsson scored a short-handed goal to keep the streak intact. "That never-quit attitude has been there for our team, has been there during this streak, and we've seen how well we can play when we play the right way," Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty said. The Oilers fell to visiting Vegas 6-3 on Nov. 18, a loss that led to the dismissal of coach Todd McLellan and the hiring of Ken Hitchcock. Edmonton is 3-1-1 since making the change, including back-to-back victories over Dallas and Los Angeles entering the finale of a three-game homestand.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, AT&T-Sportsnet-Rocky Mountain (Las Vegas), CBC, Sportsnet, Sportsnet1, Sportsnet360, CITY (Edmonton)

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (14-12-1): Pacioretty scored at least 30 goals five times in six seasons before dipping to 17 in 2017-18 with Montreal, but he has rediscovered his scoring touch after a slow start in his first year with Vegas. Pacioretty scored twice in the 4-3 victory at Vancouver to give him eight goals over the past seven games. "Patch has been good. He's been hot," coach Gerard Gallant said. He's getting a good feel around the net. Reilly gave him an excellent pass there on that one goal. He's playing real good, he's going to the net and he's in his groove right now."

ABOUT THE OILERS (12-11-2): Edmonton has played more disciplined under Hitchcock and one of the beneficiaries has been defenseman Oscar Klefbom. In Tuesday's 1-0 overtime victory over Dallas, Klefbom netted his first goal of the season and followed that up with the game-winning tally with just under 2 1/2 minutes to play in Thursday's win over the Kings. "It has been good timing for my first two goals here," said Klefbom, who has five points in his last three games. "It was a big win for us. For me, personally, it is nice to get the goals going and it has been good timing, too."

OVERTIME

1. Oilers captain Connor McDavid has three goals and six assists in five games versus Vegas.

2. Golden Knights F Jonathan Marchessault has three goals and five points in his last four against the Oilers.

3. Edmonton claimed LW Valentin Zykov off waivers from the Carolina Hurricanes.

PREDICTION: Oilers 3, Golden Knights 2

I like TAX in this contest and could score at a price in here. Ought to go to the front end and should never look back. Make a note that this horse runs on Lasix today. Gargan has one of the most competitive winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface. BOURBON WAR - Players should probably note that this equine runs with second time Lasix today. Must be carefully examined given the class of races run as of late. NETWORK EFFECT - Has strong speed figures and has to be considered for a bet in this event. Could beat this group of animals given the 106 Equibase Speed Fig garnered in his last outing.

I have to consider CATCH MY CABOOSE here. Well above average win rate at this distance/surface. Should go off at a big price and has some positive attributes going for him. Will make a strong performance versus this group. FASTER THAN CHROME - Has to be carefully examined against this group displaying solid figures lately and an average Equibase Speed Figure of 57 under similar conditions. Could beat this group given the 64 speed rating earned in his last outing. IMA CAT GENIUS - Is hard not to consider given the company run in lately. Dollingerstehr has this gelding racing well and is a very strong choice based on the decent Equibase Speed Figures earned in sprint races as of late.

#13 PRINCESS TRINA (ML=20/1)
#15 HIDDEN FACTS (ML=7/2)
#1 VADA (ML=12/1)
#4 MUSICAL LUTE (ML=20/1)


PRINCESS TRINA - This horse should be rumbling down the lane. HIDDEN FACTS - This speedy sort should benefit from today's shorter trip. A repeat of that most recent effort on October 20th where she notched a speed rating of 77 looks good enough to win in this race. I think that the addition of the 'hood' today will keep her mind on the race at hand. She has the highest earnings per start. Check out this horse. VADA - It is my opinion that fillys run better the second time they get Lasix. Motion puts this filly on it for the second time today, so give this one a look. MUSICAL LUTE - This filly has higher odds on the morning line than the other entrant from the stable of Abreu. Better be careful of this angle. When Abreu gives Jaramillo a leg up on any noble animal, you sense that with their win percent you have much more than a fighting chance. Sub-par effort in the last race at Belmont Park was due to the off-going (she finished fourth). Expect better in today's race on a fast track.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 HERE COMES JACKIE (ML=4/1), #6 SOLAR KITTEN (ML=9/2), #3 SOPHIE ANTOINETTE (ML=5/1),

HERE COMES JACKIE - Going to have a hard go of it with all of the other early speed in this race. SOLAR KITTEN - A runner should have more zip at 1 1/16 miles to get me riled up about her chances of winning at 7 1/2 furlongs. 9/2 is not worth the risk for any animal in a sprint of 7 1/2 furlongs that hasn't hit the board in a sprint event lately. Improbable that the speed fig she earned on October 20th will be enough in this event. SOPHIE ANTOINETTE - Today's event is 7 1/2 furlongs. Hasn't hit the board in a sprint event in the last 60 days. Not the greatest of signs. Should take this one off your contenders roll call with the absence of early speed in that last route race.

#8 MY MAJESTY (ML=5/1)
#9 AWESOME E K (ML=2/1)


MY MAJESTY - Gelding took a little vacation, but has been racing into shape. This jock and conditioner have a high winning percentage together. It looks like Lopez had to become familiar with this gelding on Nov 13th when riding him for the initial time. Back on again today. Multiple trips to the winner's circle over the surface right here at Turf Paradise. Maybe, another trip to the winner's circle right here in this race. Personally, I wouldn't worry about where he finished in his last race (sixth). Should improve in today's race, with some decent odds. AWESOME E K - I like to play this handicapping angle, a horse coming back off a strong effort within the last month or so. Beauregard is back for another event today after getting on board this animal for the first try on Nov 13th and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. This jockey and handler's equines have been generating a positive return on investment. Just check out his most recent speed fig, 78. That one fits in this field.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 ROJO BOU PEEP (ML=5/2), #6 KARAOKE CAT (ML=6/1), #4 RISKY FOREST (ML=8/1),

ROJO BOU PEEP - Not probable that the fig he notched on November 13th will hold up in this event. KARAOKE CAT - This racer likes to be there at the wire, but doesn't usually finish on top. Don't play in the top spot. Don't think this questionable contender will make a winning move today. That last speed figure was most unsatisfactory when compared with today's class rating. RISKY FOREST - This gelding hasn't been showing me anything positive in the last couple of efforts. When checking today's Equibase class figure, he will have to garner a much better speed figure than last time out to battle in this dirt sprint.

-- Pittsburgh will be making its first appearance in the championship game.

Ohio State is on fringes of making national playoff; impressive win here and an Alabama win in SEC game makes it a OSU/Oklahoma decision for 4th seed. Buckeyes won last four gamess, but also allowed 31+ points in four of last five games- they hammered arch-rival Michigan 62-39 LW, so this could be little bit of a letdown. OSU ran ball for 283-249 yards last two weeks. Northwestern won seven of its last eight games after a 1-3 start; Wildcats are 4-1 this year in games decided by 4 or fewer points. Ohio State is 2-1 in this game, beating Wisconsin 27-21 here LY; Northwestern is in its first Big 14 title game.

Sharps hit Georgia odds early for college football showdown vs. Alabama
Patrick Everson

College football has reached its conference championship week, from which will come the four teams competing in this season’s College Football Playoff. We check in on the opening lines and early action for the Power Five conference title games, with insights from Derek Wilkinson, supervisor at The SuperBook at Westgate in Las Vegas.

No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs vs. No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (-13.5)

Defending national champion Alabama is one of two remaining CFP contenders with an unblemished record. The Crimson Tide (12-0 SU, 8-4 ATS) had little trouble with rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl, posting a 52-21 victory as 25.5-point home favorites to cap the regular season.

Georgia stubbed its toe in a mid-October loss at Louisiana State, but responded with five straight double-digit victories (4-1 ATS). The Bulldogs (11-1 SU, 7-5 ATS) dispatched Georgia Tech 45-21 as 17-point home faves last weekend.

“We took some sharp money on Georgia right away. We’ve moved it down to -13 for now,” Wilkinson said of early activity for Saturday’s game in Atlanta. “I think the public is going to like Alabama at less than a two-touchdown favorite, but the sharp money is going to be on Georgia. We’re anticipating this line to go to 12.5 or stay at 13 throughout the week. Most of the money will still be on ‘Bama though.”

No. 17 Utah Utes vs. No. 16 Washington Huskies (-5.5)

Washington crashed Washington State’s party to steal first place in the Pac-12 North and earn a trip to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., for Friday night’s conference title game. Last weekend, the Huskies (9-3 SU, 3-9 ATS) went off as 2.5-point road underdogs and emerged with a 28-15 outright victory over the archrival Cougars.

Utah won seven of its last eight games (6-2 ATS) en route to winning the Pac-12 South Division. The Utes (9-3 SU, 7-5 ATS) capped the run with a nonconference victory over Brigham Young, rallying from a 27-7 deficit to win 35-27 laying 10.5 points at home.

“We opened this line at -5.5, and I still think that’s too low,” Wilkinson said. “However, most of the betting market is even lower at 5. We haven’t taken any action yet, but I’m anticipating most of the money to come in on Washington.”

No. 14 Texas Longhorns vs. No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners (-7)

The Red River Rivalry gets a repeat performance, with Oklahoma aiming to avenge its only loss of the season, a 48-45 setback laying 7 points at the Cotton Bowl on Oct. 6. The Sooners (11-1 SU, 4-7-1 ATS) followed with six consecutive victories, but cashed just once (1-4-1 ATS), barely escaping West Virginia last week with a 59-56 win as 3-point road favorites.

Texas won its last three games to secure a spot in this Big 12 final, to be played Saturday at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. Last week, the Longhorns (9-3 SU, 5-6-1 ATS) fended off Kansas 24-17 laying 15.5 points on the road.

“We already took a decent five-figure bet on Oklahoma at -7,” Wilkinson said. “We’re at -7.5 now, and I think that line is going to go up. Oklahoma just scores too many points for Texas to keep up.”

No. 24 Pittsburgh Panthers at No. 2 Clemson Tigers (-25)

Clemson is a monster favorite in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game as it aims for another trip to the CFP. The Tigers (12-0 SU, 6-6 ATS) capped their perfect regular season with a 56-35 nonconference victory over South Carolina as 25.5-point home faves.

Pittsburgh put together a 5-1 stretch (6-0 ATS) beginning in early October, helping it secure a spot in Saturday’s conference final in Charlotte, N.C. However, the Panthers (7-5 SU and ATS) got drilled at Miami in the regular-season finale, 24-3 as 6-point road underdogs.

“Although we haven’t gotten any major bets on it yet, we’ve already moved up with the market to -26,” Wilkinson said. “This game is being played in Clemson’s backyard, and Pittsburgh looked pretty bad last week against Miami. I think that line will either stay at 26 or possibly go a little higher. I also think Clemson is going to cover it.”

No. 19 Northwestern Wildcats vs. No. 10 Ohio State Buckeyes (-13.5)

Ohio State still has a glimmer of CFP hope, thanks to a blowout victory of its archrival last weekend. The Buckeyes (11-1 SU, 5-7 ATS) went off as 3.5-point home pups to Michigan, but rumbled to a 62-39 victory.

Northwestern found its way to Indianapolis for Saturday’s game by going 7-1 SU in its last eight outings. The Wildcats (8-4 SU, 6-4-2 ATS) finished with a 24-16 victory over Illinois giving 16 points at home.

“We’ve gotten some big bets on both sides of this game already,” Wilkinson said. “Currently, we have Ohio State favored by 14, and I think that’s a good line. Ohio State is going to win, but I don’t think it will be as dominant a performance as the Buckeyes had against Michigan last week.”

Games to Watch - Week 14

This coming weekend will arguably be the biggest of the year, as it is when we will see the conference championship games take center stage. It goes without saying that these are the games that we are going to focus on here, but since we will be looking at the Power 5 conferences a little later in the week, we will spend out time here talking about some of the smaller conferences and the games being played there.

These are not games that will have any impact on the final playoff standings, but they are still match-ups worthy of your time and your wagering dollars.

UCF Knights (-3 -115) vs. Memphis Tigers (+3 -105)

The AAC Championship Game will provide UCF with the opportunity to continue an unbeaten streak that has now extended through two full seasons. The problem that the Knight have here is that they will be forced to try and win without their QB McKenzie Milton, who went out of last weeks game with a truly gruesome knee injury. It’s worth remembering that the Knight had to come from behind to beat Memphis 31-30 when they met earlier in the season, so they could well be in trouble in this one without their starting QB. The Knights are talented enough to rise up and put on a show here, but I think they come up short.

ULL Ragin’ Cajuns (+17½ -110) vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers (-17½ -110)

Of all the teams that play in the Sun Belt, it may well be the Mountaineers that we all know best. After all, they have, over the years, made a habit of scaring the life out of Power 5 teams, just as they did in Week 1 this season against Penn State. The Mountaineers needed a Troy loss last week to get into this one and will be going against a Cajuns team that won 3-straight to win their division. When these two met earlier in the season, it was the Mountaineers who came away with a 10-point win. I think we can expect more of the same here.

UAB Blazers (+1 -110) vs. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (-1 -110)

In a strange twist of scheduling, these two teams will be meeting for the second straight week, although this time, the winner will be walking away with the Conference USA title. Last week, it was the Blue Raiders scoring the comfortable 27-3 win in a game that they started as a 3-point underdog. That meant that the Blazers ended the season on a 2-game losing skid, although they did have the division locked up by then. The bookies have this as a close one, and while I don’t like the fact that UAB haven’t won for a couple of weeks, I think they get the win here.

Fresno State Bulldogs (+2½ -105) vs. Boise State Broncos (-2½ -115)

Boise State come into this one with the opportunity to repeat as champions of the Mountain West Conference against a Fresno State Bulldogs team that they have already beaten once this season. That win was part of a 7-game win streak that the Broncos went on to close out the season, although it was a tight defensive battle that ended in a 24-17 win for Boise. Let’s not count out Fresno State here, though, as the loss to the Broncos is the only defeat they have taken in their last 10 games. I am on Fresno State to get revenge and emerge as the conference champion.

Milton on the Mend

Central Florida will play for the American Athletic Conference title this weekend with injured quarterback McKenzie Milton on their minds. Milton suffered a gruesome leg injury in the Knights' 38-10 win over South Florida last week and will undergo reconstructive surgery on his right knee at a later date. But the good news is, a nerve at the site of the injury remained intact and blood flow has been restored to his lower leg. Milton finishes his Junior season with Central Florida with some eye-popping numbers, having thrown for 25 touchdowns while adding nine scores on the ground.

Oddsmakers are making the Milton injury a major factor in Central Florida's AAC championship game against visiting Memphis, with the host Knights just 3.5-point favorites despite having won 24 consecutive games. But with the home team a sizzling 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the UCF defense almost as strong as its offense, the Knights are a strong cover play.

Gamecocks Going for a Big Cover

Not every game this weekend will decide a conference championship; for the South Carolina Gamecocks, it's simply an opportunity to rack up one more dominant victory heading into bowl season. The Gamecocks host the Akron Zips in a non-conference showdown scheduled after South Carolina had a Sept. 15 meeting with Marshall postponed due to Hurricane Florence. The Zips aren't expected to be competitive in this one, coming in as 30-point underdogs to a Gamecocks side that fell 56-35 to Clemson last time out, but has covered in four consecutive games.

With South Carolina a perfect 2-0 ATS when favored by 30 or more points this season – outscoring the opposition 98-24 in those victories – and the Zips coming in having scored just 41 total points in their past three games, the Gamecocks are a great option not only to cover, but to hold the visitors below their team total, which sits at 13 as of Wednesday.


No Hope for Hokies' Run Game?

If the Virginia Tech Hokies hope to upend visiting Marshall in the regular-season finale for both teams, it will probably be through the air. The Thundering Herd come into the game having allowed a minuscule 2.8 yards per carry on the season so far, and rank sixth in Division I in yards allowed per game on the ground (100.5). And if that weren't daunting enough for the hosts, Marshall also ranks 16th in the country in third-down conversion defense (32 percent), while the Hokies are well below the national average in third-down success rate (37.3 percent).

With the Marshall defense looking as strong as ever (38 points allowed over the past three games), taking the visitors to win this one outright is a strong value play at +160. The Thundering Herd should also be able to keep the Hokies below their team total of 27.5 if they can control the time of possession.


Last Labor of Love

The "Big Game" could be missing a big contribution from a running back who began the season as a Heisman Trophy candidate. Bryce Love will look to wrap up a difficult Pac-12 season on a positive note as he leads the Stanford Cardinal into Memorial Stadium for a date with Cal. Love began the year as one of the leading candidates for college football's top individual awards, but injuries and ineffectiveness have him sitting on 655 rushing yards and six touchdowns. The Golden Bears boast one of the top run defenses in Division I, limiting foes to 136 yards per game on 3.9 YPC.

Love had 101 yards in last year's meeting with the Bears, but 57 of them came on a single rush – and he has had just one rush of 30 or more yards in his last five games. With just one 100-yard game on the year and the Cardinal expected to give Cameron Scarlett some work, we recommend taking the Under on Love's rushing yard total.

Total Talk - Week 14

It was a good final week of the regular season to follow the steam on the college football totals I outlined in this piece last week. All that money on the Stanford/UCLA 'over' and Rutgers/Michigan State 'under' go there with ease on those respective contests, but while Miami did get some revenge on Pitt for their 2017 loss, that dominant “turnover chain” defense the Hurricanes had in 2017 showed up as well, keeping that contest well below the number.

Now that the regular season has concluded, there are fewer CFB games on the betting board, but that doesn't mean that we haven't seen significant movement already on some totals. This week tends to be one of the more heavily bet weekends of the year in college football because of the stakes in play, and there was no need to wait until later in the week to get this piece out.

So let's get right to the bigger movers of the week on these totals to see if you are looking to jump on board now, or wait and possibly go the other way closer to kick-off.

Biggest Movers to the 'Over'

Fresno State vs. Boise State: Open: 49 – Current: 53

The Mountain West championship will be decided on the “Smurf Turf” at Boise State again this year, as it's a rematch between Boise State and Fresno State from last year's game. This will be the third time in the six-year history of the Mountain West title game that these two programs have squared off, and Boise State has hosted and won both of the previous two matchups. Neither of those title games finished with more than 42 total points scored, and considering the regular season matchup between these two finished with 41 total points, this big move upwards is a little surprising.

Both of these programs finished with winning records to the 'under' this year – Fresno was 4-8 O/U and Boise was 5-7 O/U – and yet this is a move that on the surface looks to be one that should be followed before it's faded. For the number to quickly jump through a key number of 51 and still hit another key number of 53 is something that can't be taken lightly, and with Boise's offense scoring 45 and 33 points in their two games since beating Fresno, the Broncos attack is riding a strong wave of momentum right now as well. Weather forecasts are calling for ideal early December weather in Boise so their shouldn't be much concern there either.

The fact that betting percentage numbers offered at VegasInsider.com show it's only about a 55/45 split in favor of the 'over' suggests it's a move to be followed as well, although the only concerning thing in that regard is the notion that the value in taking the 'over' is all but gone now and we will likely see some buyback to the low-side closer to kick-off. After all, each of these two teams finished the regular season on 0-4 O/U runs, and each of the past four meetings between the two have stayed 'under' as well with no more than 45 points scored in any of those games.

That makes this total one I'm more interested in monitoring as the week goes on, simply because if there is some buyback on the 'under' it will be interesting to see what happens if the total drops back to that key number of 51. Clearly there was plenty of love (and respect) in the markets for going 'over' that key number here as maybe we do see a game where it's something like 28-24 for either side. We did see how well following the steam did a week ago though, no matter the number, so if forced to make a play on this total now, it would have to be siding with the move on the high side of things.

Biggest Movers to the 'Under'

Memphis vs. UCF: Open: 70 – Current: 65

This move is much easier to explain as the big drop in the number is basically injury related. UCF lost QB McKenzie Milton to a horrific leg injury a week ago, and backup QB Darriel Mack Jr was able to do enough to keep the lead, get the W, and keep the undefeated UCF season intact. However, it's not like the freshman Mack was all that impressive in the effort (5-for-14 passing for just 81 yards) as he did enter the game with a double-digit lead and let the running game bring things home. If UCF wants to remain unbeaten this year, that can't be the case against a high-powered Memphis team that's looking for some revenge after a one-point defeat to UCF earlier this year.

UCF will likely lean heavily on the ground game once again this week, as they don't particularly want to get into a shootout without Milton at the helm. That should lead to the clock continuously running quite a bit here as UCF's defense does what it can to contain Memphis, and it's not like the Knights haven't been a great 'under' team recently either. UCF enters this championship game on a 1-7 O/U run overall and that's something casual fans/bettors might not figure when they think about this UCF program.

From a betting perspective now, the value in this number is long gone, and while the likelihood of some buyback isn't going to be necessarily as strong here as it could be in Fresno/Boise, I believe this total is nothing but a pass now. It's not like Memphis' defense hasn't been gashed on the ground this year, and UCF still has some explosive RB's in that stable of theirs that could break one off at any moment. The Tigers own attack can put up points in a hurry, and knowing that they don't have to deal with Milton in this game, building a multi-score lead early in the 2nd half and then going into prevent mode and giving up a few scores could be very decisive in the ultimate result on this total. Last year's meeting in the championship game was an epic OT shootout that finished with 117 points scored, so if you hadn't already gotten a piece of this 'under' at a better number, it's probably best to pass on this total now.

Best Total Bet for Championship Saturday

Georgia vs. Alabama Under 63.5

The SEC championship game is one that the entire CFB world has been waiting on for weeks now as it's a rematch from last year's National Championship, and one you know this Georgia team has been excited about for weeks. The Bulldogs have wanted to get another crack at 'Bama all year long, and with a win putting Georgia into the CFB Playoff again and a loss eliminating them, the stakes couldn't be much higher for the Bulldogs this week.

And while both programs have made improvements on offense this year compared to when they met last season, I do believe the number is still slightly too high all things considered. For one, an Alabama loss doesn't “guarantee” them a spot in the CFB playoff if it were to come in ugly fashion, and with that as the backdrop to Nick Saban's game planning, you can bet that he'll have his defense overly prepared for what he expects to see from Georgia.

At the same time, Kirby Smart will have his Bulldogs defense very prepared for what he expects to see from Alabama, as they did get caught off guard in the title game when Saban made the QB switch to Tua in the 2nd half. Like Alabama, Georgia has basically had a month to prepare and install bits of the game plan into their unit and that's never a bad thing for 'unders.'

Finally, both teams are coming off consecutive games of 'overs' cashing to end the year, with Alabama putting up 50+ in both wins, while Georgia averaged 50+ in their two victories. Those results have to be taken into consideration when putting out a total for this week, and because of them, I do believe the total is slightly inflated. Remember, the total for the National Title game a year ago closed at 45.5 and was a dead ringer for the 'under' before Alabama forced OT, and it still could have cashed had Georgia been the only team to score in that extra frame. Even with the improved offenses, this number is nearly three TD's higher than last year's meeting, and with two elite SEC teams going at it – a conference that's known for defense – I have a hard time seeing where 64+ points will come from.

Alabama had only two SEC games this year where the total closed in the 60's or higher and both of those games did find a way to cash 'under' tickets. This SEC title game should be no different as somewhere in the mid-50's is likely where this score tops out.

ACC Championship Preview
Joe Williams

Matchup: Clemson vs. Pittsburgh
Date: Saturday, Dec. 1
Time/TV: 8:00 p.m. ET - ABC
Venue: Bank of America Stadium
Location: Charlotte, N.C.
Line, Total: Tigers -27.5, 52.5

The Atlantic Coast Conference will crown a champion in Charlotte on Saturday, and the playoff-hopeful Clemson Tigers (12-0 straight-up, 6-6 against the spread) are largely expected to run away in a rout over the Pittsburgh Panthers (7-5 straight-up, 7-5 against the spread).

These teams will be meeting for the first time since the Panthers stunned the Tigers 43-42 in Death Valley on Nov. 12, 2016 as 21 1/2-point underdogs.

Clemson rolled through the schedule without many scares, especially after the early portion of their schedule. They squeaked out a 28-26 win at Texas A&M on Sept. 8, and narrowly escaped with a 27-23 win over Syracuse on Sept. 29. That near-miss against the Orange served as a wake-up call, as they combined to win their next four games against Wake Forest, N.C. State, Florida State and Louisville by a combined 240-36. They finished up with a pair of non-covers against Duke and rival South Carolina, but those games were never really in doubt, especially in the second half.

Pitt will be making their first-ever ACC title game appearance, and they took the circuitous route to get there. No one seemed to want to win the Coastal Division. Everyone had three or more conference losses except for the Panthers, who despite losing five games overall, had just two losses in the league. Despite the fact they're in the championship game, they have a point differential of just plus-3. They were routed by Penn State 51-6 on Sept. 8. They were routed at UCF by a 45-14 score on Sept. 29. They were toppled 19-14 by Notre Dame on Oct. 13, and they were punched in the mouth by a 24-3 score in Miami in the season finale. The last game was perhaps the most excusable, as the young Panthers already had the ACC title game berth sewn up and they just didn't show to the stadium. It snapped a six-game cover streak dating back to Sept. 29.

The Tigers are making their fourth consecutive appearance in the ACC title game, and they're a perfect 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS. They routed the Hurricanes 38-3 as 12 1/2-point favorites last season, and they're nearly a four-touchdown favorite to take home the hardware for a fourth straight year. They have also won five straight appearance in the ACC title game after losing their initial appearance to Georgia Tech during the 2009 installment of this game.

Clemson ranked third overall in the country with 540.1 yards per game, and they checked in fifth in the land with 45.7 points per game (PPG). They have a very balanced attack, ranking 12th in the country in rushing yardage per game at 257.8 yards, while finishing 24th in passing yards per game at 282.3 yards. They're not one of those one-trick pony teams who need to outscore teams because of a poor defense. Their D is nasty, too. They allowed just 290.2 yards per game to rank ninth in the nation, and they allowed just 91.8 yards per game on the ground to finish second overall. They also gave up 14.0 PPG, finishing fourth.

Tigers QB Trevor Lawrence took over the starting duties early in the season from the departed QB Kelly Bryant, and he managed to complete 200-of-303 (66.0 percent) for 2,488 yards, 22 touchdowns and four interceptions while also running for 133 yards and a score. RB Travis Etienne emerged as a superstar, gobbling up 1,308 rushing yards with 19 touchdowns and a ridiculous 8.0 yards per carry. RB Lyn-J Dixon was a nice change of pace with 531 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 10.2 yards per tote. RB Tavien Feaster also plunged into the end zone six times.

In the passing game it's WR Tee Higgins trying to be the next great Clemson receiver. He led the way with 49 grabs, 766 yard and eight touchdowns, while WRs Justyn Ross, Amari Rodgers and Hunter Renfrow combined for 1,615 yards and 11 touchdowns, with Ross getting into the end zone six times. Renfrow (head) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game due to a head injury suffered late in the season.

For the Panthers, QB Kenny Pickett finished the season strong, completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 1,825 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions and he rushed for 186 yards and three scores on the ground. He isn't necessarily a dual threat, but teams do have to be mindful for the occasional run. Speaking of running, RB Qadree Ollison finished with 1,134 yards and 10 scores to lead the way, giving Pitt a home-run hitter on the ground. RB Darrin Hall is also dangerous in the run game, averaging 7.6 yards per tote, rolling up 935 yard with nine scores. WR Taysir Mack and WR Maurice Ffrench were the best of the lot in the passing game, both nearly 500 yards. Ffrench led the team with six receiving yards, and he is a demon on special teams, too.

Betting Trends to Watch

-- The Tigers have racked up an impressive 10-2 ATS mark in their past 12 neutral-site games, while going 5-1 ATS in the past six ACC battles and 5-2 ATS in the past seven overall. Clemson is also 7-1 ATS across their past eight games played in the month of December.

-- Pitt has been crazy against the number lately, going 6-1 ATS in the past seven games overall while cashing in five of the past six ACC battles. The Panthers are also 4-1 ATS in the past five battles against teams with a winning record. However, Pitt is just 1-5 ATS in the past six appearances on a neutral-site field.

-- For Clemson, the 'under' is 6-2 in their past eight games in December while the under is 11-5 in Clemson's past 16 against teams with a winning record.

-- For Pittsburgh, the 'under' is 17-7-1 in their past 25 games, while hitting in 11 of the past 16 conference battles. The under is also 9-3 in the past 12 against teams with a winning overall record. However, the 'over' is 4-1 in their past five appearances on a neutral-site field.

Big 12 Championship Preview
Joe Williams

Matchup: Oklahoma vs. Texas
Date: Saturday, Dec. 1
Time/TV: 12:00 p.m. ET - ABC
Venue: AT&T Stadium
Location: Arlington, Tex.
Line, Total: Sooners -8, 77.5

The Big 12 Championship Game has major playoff implications this season, and for the first time in the title game's history we get a rematch of the Red River Rivalry. That's exactly what the league was hoping for when the league revived the championship game last season.

The Oklahoma Sooners (11-1 straight-up, 4-7-1 against the spread) will be looking for revenge against the rival Texas Longhorns (9-3 straight-up, 5-6-1 against the spread) after falling 48-45 in the neutral-site game at the Cotton Bowl back on Oct. 6. The Longhorns won that game outright as seven-point underdogs as the 'over' (60) easily connected in that outing. Now the teams will meet on the even faster track of the field turf surface at Jerry World in Arlington.

Oklahoma lost QB Baker Mayfield, last season's Heisman Trophy winner, to the NFL's Cleveland Browns with the No. 1 overall pick. In stepped QB Kyler Murray, and the Sooners haven't missed a beat. In fact, he might be on his way to New York City looking to give the team back-to-back bronze statues. OU opened with three straight victories, including a 37-27 revenge-game win at Iowa State on Sept. 15. They received quite a scare from Army of all teams, surviving 28-21 in overtime back on Sept. 22. They spurred them on, as they doubled up Baylor 66-33 to head to Dallas for that Longhorns game at 5-0 SU/2-3 ATS. We know what happened there, but they bounced back to win six straight outings while scoring 48 or more points in all six of their final games. In fact, they rolled up at least 37 points in 11 of their 12 contests, although they closed out the season 0-3-1 ATS in the final four.

This will be Oklahoma's 10th appearance in the Big 12 championship game, and their sixth trip in the past seven installments of this game. Oklahoma appeared last season against Texas Christian at AT&T Stadium and they routed the Horned Frogs 41-17 as 7 1/2-point favorites. They have been favored in all nine of their previous appearances in this game, posting an 8-1 ATS mark,

The Longhorns are back in the Big 12 title game for the first time since 2009 when they eeked out a 13-12 win over Nebraska despite entering as two-touchdown favorites. This is their sixth appearance in the Big 12 championship game, and they're 3-2 SU/2-3 ATS in their previous five battles.

Things didn't start out so well for Texas, as they were topped 34-29 in a neutral-site battle against Maryland in the opener on Sept. 1. They edged Tulsa 28-21 in their home opener, but still were not hitting on all cylinders. It wasn't until at 37-14 win on Sept. 15 against USC that the Longhorns looked to be on their way back. Two more wins in September and then the Red River Rivalry victory, and Texas was in the Top 10 and they had championship hopes. Oklahoma State ended their playoff dreams 38-35 in Stillwater on Oct. 27, and a loss the next week at home against West Virginia by a 42-41 score looked like the end of the road. They rebounded for wins at Texas Tech and at home against Iowa State, while surviving at Kansas to punch their ticket back to the Metroplex.

Texas ranked 60th in the nation with 414.2 total yards per game, and they were 38th in passing yards (257.4 YPG). Their rushing offense, normally a staple in Austin, was just so-so, as they ranked 84th overall in that department. They did average 31.7 points per game (PPG) in their 12 games to check in 46th.

Longhorns QB Sam Ehlinger (shoulder) seized the starting job and he ran with it, rolling up 2,774 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and just four interceptions. He was also a threat in the run game, posting 376 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground. He has been battling a raw right shoulder, and that's something to watch in the game in case he takes a hard hit to the joint.

RB Keaontay Ingram was the co-leader in the backfield with Tre Watson. Ingram posted 676 rushing yards (5.2 YPC) while finding the end zone three times, and Watson was good for 656 yards (4.3 YPC) and three scores on the ground. In the pass game it's WR Lil'Jordan Humphrey who led the way with 72 grabs, 1,058 yards and eight touchdowns while WRs Collin Johnson and David Duvernay combined for 1,236 yards and 10 scores. Watson and Ingram combined for 41 grabs for 260 yards and five scores out of the backfield.

Oklahoma's offense was prolific, and their defense somewhat pathetic. That leads to a lot of video-game like performances. The Sooners ranked No. 1 in the country with 583.9 yards per game, and they were also No. 1 in points scored (50.3 PPG). OU had a balanced attack with 264.5 yards per game on the ground, while rolling up 319.4 yards per game through the air to rank eighth in both categories. However, they were just 110th in the country in defense, allowing 449.0 yards per game and 32.8 PPG, ranking 100th.

Murray completed 70.6 percent of his passes, as the Oakland A's draftee and Heisman hopeful has the world in his hands right now. He'll be a rich man playing either pro baseball or pro football. Will this be his final college game? There is talk speculating he could sit in the bowl game to protect himself for the future. Murray rolled up 3,674 yards, 37 touchdowns and seven interceptions while running for 853 yards and 11 more scores.

RB Kennedy Brooks led the way with 993 yards on the ground while finding the end zone 12 times. RB Trey Sermon managed 863 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground. WR Marquise Brown was good for a team-best 1,264 receiving yards with 10 scores on 70 grabs, averaging a gaudy 18.1 yards per snare. WR CeeDee Lamb was also a deep threat, posting 882 yards and nine scores on 51 grabs. The Longhorns will have to account for WR Lee Morris, who ended up finding the end zone eight times.

Betting Trends to Watch

-- The Longhorns have posted a 5-1 ATS mark in their past six neutral-site contests, although they failed to cover in Week 1 this season in such situation. They're also 13-5-2 ATS in the past 20 against teams with a winning overall mark.

-- The Sooners have struggled against the number, going 0-3-1 ATS in their past four inside the league. They're also a dismal 0-3-1 ATS in their past four attempts against teams with a winning overall record. OU has managed a 2-9 ATS record in the past 11 neutral-site battles, too.

-- As far as the total is concerned, the 'under' is an impressive 42-17 in the past 59 league games while going 5-0 in the past five in the month of December. The 'under' is also 30-11 in the past 41 against teams with a winning overall record, while going 25-10 in the past 35 following a straight-up win.

-- For OU, the 'over' is 5-0 in their past five against teams with a winning record. The over is also 19-7 in their past 26 and 36-15-1 in the past 52 inside the Big 12. However, the 'under' is 7-3 in the past 10 neutral-site battles.

-- Texas has covered six straight head-to-head meetings, with the underdog cashing in each of the past six battles.

Pac-12 Championship Preview
Joe Williams

Matchup: Utah vs. Washington
Date: Friday, Nov. 30
Time/TV: 8:00 p.m. ET - FOX
Venue: Levi's Stadium
Location: Santa Clara, Calif.
Line, Total: Huskies -5, 44.5

The Pac-12 Championship Game kicks off on Friday night at Levi's Stadium, and we'll get some new blood in the battle. The Utah Utes (9-3 straight up, 7-5 against the spread) survived in the South Division, and they will be making the first-ever appearance in the league's title game. In fact, it might be the school's most important game since Kyle Whittingham took them to the Sugar Bowl against Alabama back in 2008.

The Washington Huskies (9-3 straight up, 3-9 against the spread) surprised the 10-win Washington State Cougars last weekend in the Apple Cup, pushing their rivals out of first place to claim the Pac-12 North for themselves. The season started with championship expectations of high proportions. However, a loss in a neutral-site battle against Auburn in the opener, and a couple of conference road setbacks against Oregon and California forced the Huskies to refocus.

The Utes lost in their conference opener back on Sept. 15 against the Huskies by a 21-7 score at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City as the 'under' (45.5) connected. The Utes followed that loss with a 28-24 setback in Pullman against Washington State, and an appearance in the conference championship game certainly didn't appear very possible with an 0-2 SU league start. However, Utah pulled together for an impressive 40-21 road victory at Stanford on Oct. 6, kicking off a four-game winning streak and cover streak to get right back into the thick of things. During the span the offense posted 40 or more points and things were humming again. The only loss since Oct. 6 was a 38-20 loss at Arizona State, but the team rebounded with three straight wins against Oregon and Colorado, as well as their rivalry game in the Holy War against Brigham Young in the season finale, 35-27. After a 1-3 ATS start, Utah ended up 6-2 ATS over their final eight outings.

The Huskies are making their second appearance in three seasons in Santa Clara, representing the North Division. They rolled past Colorado 41-10 in the 2016 installment to easily cover as 8 1/2-point favorites as the 'under' (55.5) cashed in that one. As mentioned, Washington won their conference opener Sept. 15 in SLC, and they fired out to a 3-0 SU/1-2 ATS start in the conference. They lost a heartbreaker in Oregon on Oct. 13, dropping a 30-27 decision in overtime, a game which could have been a win in the fourth quarter if not for a missed field goal. While that game might have knocked them out of contention for a national playoff spot, a stunning 12-10 loss at Cal on Oct. 27 looked like a potential death blow to their conference title hopes. The Huskies went 2-9 ATS in the first 11 outings, including an 0-6 ATS run from Oct. 6 through Nov. 17. However, they won in a snowy Apple Cup in Washington State to find their way back to the Bay Area and a potential Rose Bowl bid.

The Huskies ranked 52nd in the nation in total yards (421.2 YPG), while posting a very ordinary ranking of 64th in passing yards (236.2 YPG). They were a very ordinary 53rd in rushing yardage, too, posting 185.0 yards per contests with 28.0 PPG, ranking 77th in the country.

Senior QB Jake Browning took another step backward after his magical 2016-17 season. He completed 65.1 percent of his pass attempts (196-for-301) for just 2,692 yards with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions while rushing for 114 yards and four scores this season. Senior RB Myles Gaskin missed some time due to injury at the end of October, but he still managed to roll up 1,076 yards (5.1 yards per carry) with 10 touchdowns, including 143 yards and a score in the win against Utah in mid-September. Sophomore RB Salvon Ahmed, the heir apparent to Gaskin in the backfield, posted 576 yards and seven touchdowns while actually outgaining Gaskin in yards per carry (6.3 to 5.1). Junior WR Aaron Fuller was good for a team-high 754 yards on 49 grabs with four touchdowns, while sophomore WR Ty Jones, a Utah native, led the team with six receiving scores.

This defense is championship caliber, and the secondary is littered with NFL prospects. Washington allowed 311.2 total yards per game which ranked 13th in the land, and their 16.5 points per game allowed was good for eighth in the country. Junior S Taylor Rapp is a game changer and heavy hitter in the secondary.

Utah averaged 414.0 total yards per game to rank 61st in the country, while the team scored 30.8 PPG to check in 54th in the nation. It was all about the run game, as they rolled up 201.0 yards per game to finish 40th in the land. Like Washington, it all starts and stops with defense for Utah. They were 15th in the country in total yards allowed (317.1 YPC), while yielding just 101.6 yards per game on the ground to finish sixth in the nation. They also allowed 19.2 PPG to end up 17th in the country.

Junior QB Tyler Huntley (collarbone) is listed as questionable for Friday's game. He completed 149-of-233 passes for 1,762 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions while also posting 304 rushing yards with four scores. He is a dual-threat signal caller for sure, checking in third on the team in rushing. If he cannot go it would be freshman QB Jason Shelley (54-of-96, 723 yards, three TD, one INT) taking the reins. No matter who is under center, they'll be handing off to junior RB Zack Moss, who led the team with 1,092 rushing yards (6.1 yards per carry) and 11 touchdowns. Junior RB Armand Shyne is the change-of-pace back, posting 442 yards and five scores on 95 carries. WR Brittain Covey is the Swiss Army Knife for Utah. He ran for a score, had a receiving touchdown and he was the primary kickoff and punt return specialist, too. He ranked 103rd in the country with 1,137 all-purpose yards.

Betting Trends to Watch

-- The Utes head into the game 5-0 ATS in their past five appearances on Friday, for whatever that's worth. They're also 7-1 ATS in their past eight appearances on a grass surface, while going 10-3-1 ATS in the past 14 against teams with a winning record. Utah has cashed in four of the past five outings on a neutral site field, while cashing in six of their past seven conference tilts. They have covered six of the past eight overall.

-- The Huskies have also excelled on Fridays, going 6-2 ATS in the past eight on the day. However, they're struggled with just one cover across the past eight conference battles, while going 1-6 ATS in the past seven overall and 1-4 ATS in the past five against winning sides. The Huskies have also failed to cover in each of their past five appearances on a grass surface.

-- The 'over' has connected in four straight for Utah against teams with a winning overall mark, although the under is 7-3 in the past 10 outings on grass.

-- For Washington, it's been all 'under' all the time. The under is 9-3 in their past 12 overall, while going 6-2 across the past eight neutral-site battles. In addition, the under has hit in eight of the past nine games against teams with a winning record.

-- In this series, the underdog has hit in five of the past six battles, while the 'over' is 4-1 across the past five battles, with the under hitting earlier this season.

First-Half Bull Rush

The Buffalo Bulls have their sights set on the MAC Championship – but the Northern Illinois Huskies stand in their way as the teams prepare to do battle Friday night at Ford Field in Detroit. The Bulls have punished opponents in the opening half of recent games, scoring 28 or more first-half points in three of their previous four games. Buffalo is one of only 17 teams in the country averaging better than 20 first-half points against Division I opponents, while the Huskies find themselves near the bottom of the nation in that category with just nine points per game.

Bettors should consider pouncing on the 1H props in favor of the Bulls. We suggest leaning toward Buffalo on the 1H spread, and we're even more insistent on the Over on the Bulls' 1H total.


Can Memphis Stifle UCF on Third Down?

The Memphis Tigers are the only team over the past year to have a legitimate shot at ending Central Florida's 24-game win streak – and the visitors will take their third crack at beating the Knights in just over a year as the teams meet Saturday at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando. It's a rematch of last year's American Athletic Conference title game, which UCF won 62-55 in overtime; the Knights also beat Memphis 31-30 earlier this season in their closest call to date. Memphis held UCF to 2-for-12 on third down in that game, and have limited their last four opponents to a 35.2-percent success rate.

Memphis comes in as a 3.5-point underdog, but the Tigers' improved third-down defense – combined with recent success against a UCF team that will be without without starting quarterback McKenzie Milton – makes the visitor a trendy cover play. We also like the Tigers to hold the Knights below their 34.5-point team total.


Back to the Touchdown Well

When Boise State and Fresno State met in regular-season action three weeks ago, we recommended taking a Broncos touchdown as the first scoring play because these teams love them some first-quarter TDs. And of course, it was a Boise State field goal that ended up cashing. So let's go right back to that prop as the Broncos and Bulldogs meet again, this time to decide the Mountain West championship at Albertsons Stadium in Boise. The teams combined for 117 touchdowns and just 22 field goals during the season, while converting a combined 22-of-37 field goal attempts.

Boise State is a 2.5-point favorite, and is a good bet to kick off the scoring again. And this time, we like them to actually convert the TD, which pays out at +140.


Going For It

Don't be surprised to see Appalachian State take some chances as they look to secure the Sun Belt championship against Louisiana on Saturday afternoon at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers were one of the top fourth-down teams in the country, making good on 12 of their 20 opportunities (60 percent). And that presents a major challenge for the Ragin' Cajuns, who were downright dreadful on fourth-down defense this season, allowing teams to convert 18 of 24 changes (75 percent) – the third-worst mark in the nation. App State went 1-for-2 in a 27-17 win over Louisiana on Oct. 20.

The Mountaineers are 16.5-point favorites for Saturday's rematch – and if they connect on a few fourth-and-short situations, they should be in great position to cover. The potential boost in App State's time of possession will also make the Under on Louisiana's team total of 20.5 a viable option.

Big Ten Championship Preview
By ASA

Ohio State (-14.5) vs. Northwestern - (FOX, 8:00 PM ET)
Lucas Oil Stadium - Indianapolis, Indiana

Ohio State – OSU enters the Big Ten Championship game with an 11-1 overall record, 8-1 in the Big Ten. Their lone loss was a bad one as Purdue trounced the Buckeyes 49-20 back on October 20th. Last week they were a home underdog to arch rival Michigan for the first time since 2004. They didn’t look like the underdog on the field as they routed the Wolverines 62-39. The Michigan defense had allowed a TOTAL of 105 points in their 8 Big Ten games entering last week. OSU lit them up for more than half that season total in one game. It was the most points OSU has EVER scored in this rivalry and the most points Michigan has EVER allowed in a game period (in regulation). That win pushed Ohio State’s record vs their rival to 14-1 the last 15 meetings.

The Buckeye offense was as explosive as it’s been all season long scoring TD’s on plays of 24, 24, 31, 78, 2, 1, and 16 yards and almost 30% of their offensive plays 19 of 67) went for at least 10 yards. This team is obviously very talented and it took being an underdog at home to Michigan to bring their “A” performance. They had muddled through much of the conference season struggling to beat teams they should have handled easily. They were just 2-6 ATS in Big Ten play entering last week’s game. Can they bring their peak performance again this week versus a “ho-hum” opponent?

They didn’t for most of the season, however they now have the College Football Playoff in sight and may need a big win here to get there. OSU’s mental state after last week’s emotional win will be key to handicapping this game. The Buckeyes lead the league in total offense by large margin as they average 523 YPG which is 70 YPG more than Nebraska who checks in at 2nd place. However, on defense OSU has fallen off big time from last year as they allow 403 YPG which is 130 YPG more than they gave up in conference play last season. This will be OSU’s 5th appearance in this game in 9 seasons.

Northwestern – The Cats come into this game with just an 8-4 overall record, but a near perfect 8-1 mark in Big Ten play. Pat Fitzgerald’s troops are now 15-1 SU their last 16 conference games dating back to last season. They weren’t always overly impressive in doing so as just one of their eight conference wins came by more than 10 points. Last week they were favored by 16 at home against state rival Illinois and came away with a tight 24-16 win. That was just one week after the Illini lost 63-0 at home to Iowa. Illinois actually outgained the Cats 435 to 375, however with a 21-6 lead at halftime, Fitzgerald pulled many of his starters in the 2nd half as they had already locked up a spot in the Championship game.

Even as the game tightened up late in the 4th quarter with the Illini driving for the potential tying score, Fitzgerald kept most of his regulars on the bench. The defense stiffened late and picked off an Illini pass at their own 17-yard line to ice the game. Despite only losing one conference game, Northwestern was outgained in Big Ten play by an average of 27 YPG (344 YPG offense / 371 YPG defense) and by 0.7 YPP (4.7 YPP offense / 5.4 YPP defense).

Offensively they rank 12th in the league in total offense and 13th in rushing although they’ve run the ball better as of late averaging 166 YPG their last 5. They rely heavily on their QB Clayton Thorson who will be starting his 52nd consecutive game under center which is a Big Ten record. Defensively they rank 5th in the Big Ten in total defense and 4th against the rush. This will be the Wildcat’s first ever appearance in the Big Ten Championship game.

Inside the Numbers – OSU is favored by 14 in this one and it’s the first time in Big Ten Championship history that a team has been favored by double digits. Last year Ohio State was favored by -5.5 in this game and won 27-21 covering the number by a half point. It was the first time in Big Ten Championship history the favorite actually covered the game as the dog is now 6-1 ATS.

Not only has the favorite struggled to cover in this game, they are just 4-4 SU. The Buckeyes have owned this series winning 30 of the last 31 meetings outright with Northwestern’s only win coming in 2004. OSU has been favored in all 25 games played in this series since 1980 and they are 16-9 ATS in those games. Northwestern is 6-0-1 ATS as a dog this year with point spread wins over both Michigan & Notre Dame. Going back even further, the Cats are 22-6 ATS the last 28 times they’ve been getting points.

Saturday's Group of 5 Tips
Joe Nelson

Playing for a championship is the goal of every program and eight conference champions will be decided on Saturday.

College Playoff berths are not likely on the line in the Conference USA, American, Sun Belt, and Mountain West games but all four contests will be rematches to fill out the championship Saturday schedule. One of these teams should also get called for the top Group of 5 spot in the New Year’s Six.

CONFERENCE USA CHAMPIONSHIP

Match-up: UAB Blazers at Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders
Venue: At Johnny Floyd Stadium in Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Time/TV: Saturday, December 1, 1:30 PM ET, CBSSN
Line: Middle Tennessee State -1, Over/Under 44½
Last Meeting: November 24, 2018 at Middle Tennessee State (+3) 27, UAB 3

UAB wasn’t playing football two years ago and after a successful bowl season in last year’s re-boot the Blazers look to take another step this season with a division title and a shot a the conference title. Middle Tennessee State is also in the Conference USA Championship for the first time looking to keep a run of four consecutive championships for the East division champion going.

Bill Clark stayed with UAB through the two-year hiatus after coaching the Blazers for his first season in 2014 following one year at Jacksonville State. UAB was perfect at home this season in a 9-3 campaign though the team enters this game off back-to-back losses, falling 41-20 to Texas A&M and then in last week’s game in Murfreesboro. Senior quarterback A.J. Erdely miss three November games before returning last week with freshman Tyler Johnston filling in with similar numbers as both could see the field this week.

Rick Stockstill won a Sun Belt title in his first season with the program in 2006 and this will be his first trip back to a championship game, leading mostly successful results over now 13 seasons with an 87-76 record and no losing seasons in Conference USA play. Last year’s team had a lot of potential but his son Brent was injured most of the year. Back as a senior quarterback the younger Stockstill has posted terrific numbers this season and he missed most of the one conference game the Blue Raiders lost at Florida International.

These schools are only about 200 miles apart as a good crowd should be expected even with some potential rain in the forecast for Saturday.

Regular Season Meeting: These teams met just last week on the same field. The incentives were vastly different however as Middle Tennessee State needed to win to get to this game and shortly after kickoff knew that Florida International had lost to make it a win-and-win-the-division-title game. UAB had already clinched its division and had little at stake last week and it showed, ultimately posting only 89 net yards of offense and not scoring again after taking a 3-0 lead on the opening drive in an eventual 27-3 result.

Series History: UAB won last season’s meeting 25-23 while Middle Tennessee State has won four of seven meetings since 1995 with a 3-2 ATS run in lined games since 2000.


AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Match-up: Memphis Tigers at Central Florida Knights
Venue: At Spectrum Stadium in Orlando, Florida
Time/TV: Saturday, December 1, 3:30 PM ET, ABC
Line: Central Florida -3, Over/Under 65
Last Meeting: October 13, 2018, Central Florida (-4½) 31, at Memphis 30

This will be the fourth meeting in two seasons for these programs with UCF looking to extend the nation’s longest winning streak to 25 games with a second straight conference title. The storyline however will be the absence of quarterback McKenzie Milton who was injured for UCF in last week’s win over South Florida.

In last year’s championship game these teams put on a show with Milton helping to deliver a 62-55 win in double-overtime with both teams eclipsing 700 yards of offense in a game with several big swings. UCF has won the regular season meetings the past two years as well, getting a lopsided home win last year and this year winning in Memphis by one-point with a second half comeback.

The Tigers are one of the nation’s top rushing teams with Darrell Henderson posting 1,699 yards so far and Memphis posting 6.4 yards per carry for nearly 276 yards per game. Replacing a highly productive quarterback, junior Brady White has been effective in his first season after transferring from Arizona State. Freshman Darriel Mack will start at quarterback for UCF with Milton out. Mack did play in entire game in the win over East Carolina but that has been his only meaningful action this season. He is much bigger than Milton and a serious rushing threat but likely not nearly the same caliber performer in the passing game at this point in his career.

Regular Season Meeting: In a highly anticipated rematch of the 2017 championship game Memphis took command early with a 30-14 edge until just before halftime. UCF trimmed the deficit to just six points in the third quarter and then took a one-point lead in the fourth. Memphis fumbled twice in the second half to wind up shut out in the second half at home and losing despite a 281-165 rushing edge.

Series History: Central Florida has won S/U 12 meetings in a row in this series going back to 2005 with the last win for Memphis coming in 1990 when UCF was not playing at the top college football level. Memphis has gone 4-2-1 ATS in the seven meetings going back to 2010.


SUN BELT CHAMPIONSHIP

Match-up: UL-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns at Appalachian State Mountaineers
Venue: At Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, North Carolina
Time/TV: Saturday, December 1, 12:00 PM ET, ESPN
Line: Appalachian State -18, Over/Under 59
Last Meeting: October 2, 2018 at Appalachian State (-25½) 27, UL-Lafayette 17

The Sun Belt split into two five-team divisions this season and will join the Championship Weekend with the inaugural title game this weekend after often featuring a full regular season schedule in this final weekend in previous years. There was great drama in determining the division champions this season with last week’s results meaningful and the heavy Sun Belt favorite to open the season, Arkansas State, did not make it.

Scott Satterfield led a 4-8 FCS squad in his first season in Boon in 2013 but has had a winning season every year since the program jumped to the FBS level in 2014. The Mountaineers are 3-0 in bowl games the past three years and 39-11 the past four years combined while going 28-4 in Sun Belt play in that span. Expect Satterfield to field interviews from prominent openings if he so chooses as he has done a remarkable job. This year may have been his best work as the roster appeared to be in a major transition with the loss of several key players from last season.

The one game in Sun Belt play that Appalachian State lost came without quarterback Zac Thomas at Georgia Southern and the numbers were dominant for the Mountaineers with a 255-108 scoring record in going 7-1 in league play. Appalachian State went 5-0 at home on the season and nearly upset Penn State in the opening week on the road.

Louisiana started the season 1-3 but losses at Mississippi State and at Alabama certainly are forgivable. The Ragin’ Cajuns beat Arkansas State at home 47-43 and last week earned this spot by besting rival UL-Monroe on the road 31-28. The Ragin’ Cajuns played both Appalachian State and Troy on the road for a difficult crossover draw and lost both games by 10 points in lower scoring games. In going 5-3 in Sun Belt play Louisiana outscored foes by just 24 points while being outscored overall on the season despite being 7-5.

Regular Season Meeting: As a massive home favorite Appalachian State led just 17-10 at the half before pulling away. The final score was 27-17 but Louisiana scored with 63 seconds to go to make the final margin tighter, though the yardage edge for the Mountaineers was modest at 372-328. The ground game was the key with a 266-140 rushing advantage for the Mountaineers at home.

Series History: These teams have met each of the last five years with five straight wins for Appalachian State, going 3-2 ATS including 2-1 in the home meetings.


MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Match-up: Fresno State Bulldogs at Boise State Broncos
Venue: At Albertson’s Stadium in Boise, Idaho
Time/TV: Saturday, December 1, 7:45 PM ET, ESPN
Line: Boise State -2½, Over/Under 50½
Last Meeting: November 9, 2018, at Boise State (+2½) 24, Fresno State 17

These teams met in the Mountain West title game last season with a 17-14 win for Boise State with a 90-yard touchdown drive for the lead late in the fourth quarter. That was after Fresno State defeated Boise State at home the previous week to close the regular season. These teams also met in the 2014 MWC Championship, also a win but missed cover for Boise State.

The stakes are potentially higher this season as if UCF loses to Memphis now playing without its star quarterback, the victor of this game could be the highest rated Group of Five squad in line for a New Year’s Six bowl bid. Boise State is currently 22nd while Fresno State is 25th in those rankings. UCF is 8th and could potentially hold the highest ranked spot with a loss though that would be an unusual precedent to set as they wouldn’t be a conference champion and would likely look like a much less promising team without Milton.

Marcus McMaryion and Brett Rypien are both in the nation’s top 12 in QB Rating and both seniors are coming to the close of excellent seasons and careers. They have combined to throw only 10 interceptions in nearly 800 attempts. Defense has been the key for Fresno State however, second nationally allowing just 13.5 points per game with a significant edge in pass defense relative to Boise State. The Broncos are 119-7 S/U at home since 1999 for truly the toughest home field edge in the nation however.

Regular Season Meeting: As a rare home underdog Boise State fell behind 17-3 early in the third quarter. The Broncos rallied to win in the fourth taking a 24-17 edge while Fresno State had a missed field goal while getting stopped on downs in Boise territory on its final two possessions. Boise State had a 448-390 edge in yards and committed the only turnover in the game.

Series History: Boise State is 15-4 S/U in this series since 1996 with a 13-5 ATS record however Fresno State has covered in four of the past five meetings. This will be the MWC Championship matchup for the third time in the last five years with a 28-14 win for Boise in 2014 and a 17-14 win over Boise last season with the Broncos hosting all of those games. Fresno State did win S/U hosting Boise State in the regular season in 2013 and 2017 but has not won in Boise since 1984.

The Triple Option: College football Conference Championship Week picks and predictions
Andrew Caley

It’s hard to believe another college football season has come to an end. That’s right, we’re at conference championship week.

But that means another season of The Triple Option comes to a close. And while we weren’t as profitable in Year 2 as we were in Year 1, profit is never something to turn down. We went a respectable 22-17 this season (56.4). And it would have been a little better if Notre Dame didn’t let USC march down the field at the end of the game for a meaningless backdoor cover last week.

Luckily for us we have one more chance to improve on, or tank, that record by picking every conference championship game this week in a special edition of the Triple Option. This year we're up to 10 conference Championship games with the Big 12 and the Sun Belt joining the mix. (Covers' editorial staff will be doing our Bowl Pick'em challenge once again this season in which we pick every Bowl game, so there will be still ample time to fade me hahaha).

Thank you all once again for reading and following this season. I hope you enjoyed reading the column as much as I had writing it. So, let's eat up one more batch of winners and some awesome eats with the complete compilation of all of this season’s recipes. Thanks again and good luck as always. Now, it's showtime!

Sun Belt Championship – Louisiana vs Appalachian State (-17, 58)

The Sun Belt championship game is also a rematch, as Appalachian State hosts Louisiana for the second time this season. The Mountaineers defeated the Ragin’ Cajuns 27-17 as big 24.5-point home favorites back on Oct. 20.

Appalachian State is the class of the Sun Belt going 9-2 this season, but Louisiana head coach Billy Napier (and former Nick Saban assistant) has already started to change the culture for the Ragin’ Cajuns. After a 1-3 start (to be fair two of those games were against Alabama and Mississippi State), Louisiana has won six of its last eight games scoring nearly 38 points per contest.

This game will be determined on the ground as both Louisiana and App State rank in top 20 in rushing at 230.2 and 242.5 yards per game respectively. So, the big difference between these two teams is on defense, where the Mountaineers dominated the conference and rank fourth in the country in total yards and fifth in points allowed.

Appalachian State should ride this edge to another win, but I really like what Napier has done in his first season at Louisiana and the Ragin’ Cajuns will put on a respectable show.

Pick: Louisiana +17


Big 12 Championship – Texas vs Oklahoma (-8, 77.5)

Hey, look! Another rematch! This time it’s a rematch of one of the best games in college football this season when Texas upset Oklahoma 48-45 as 7-point underdogs in an instant classic back on Oct. 6.

We all know the narratives this time around. Kyler Murray and Tom Herman as an underdog.

Murray leads the nation’s No. 1 offense in terms of total yards and scoring. The incredible two-sport athlete is completing over 70 percent of his passes for 3,674 yards with 37 touchdowns compared to just seven interceptions. He also has another 800-plus rushing yards and 11 majors on the ground.

But as good as the Sooners have been on offense, they have been almost equally as bad on defense. They own the third worst passing defense in the country and rank 100th in points allowed at 32.8 per game. Over their last four contests its been even worse ballooning to an obscene 47.3 ppg and are 0-3-1 ATS in those games.

For Texas, quarterback Sam Ehlinger is healthy enough and racked up 314 passing yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the last meeting. He should be able to go blow for blow with Murray here.

I just don’t have any faith in Oklahoma to cover a number this large with a defense this bad. And of course, Tom Herman is 10-1-1 ATS (2-0-1 this season) in his career as an underdog.

Pick: Texas +8


AAC Championship - Memphis vs UCF (-3, 64.5)

Straight up. This line scares the hell outta me.

UCF is looking to wrap up its second straight undefeated season and New Year’s Six bowl game berth when it takes on Memphis in the AAC Championship. But they will have to do it without their heart and soul after quarterback McKenzie Milton suffered a devastating knee injury in last week’s win over USF.

Despite no Milton, oddsmakers still have the Knights favored. And I’m not sure why. UCF should have lost when these teams faced off in Memphis last month and probably would have if it wasn’t for two fourth quarter fumbles and some poor last-minute play calling by the Tigers. And that was with Milton at quarterback.

UCF backup quarterback Darriel Mack Jr. will make just his second career start. His first came in a 37-10 walkover against East Carolina where he completed 12-20 passes for just 69 yards but put up 120 yards and a touchdown on the ground. However, Memphis is decent at stopping the rush and has collected 15 sacks over its last three games.

Let’s not forget about likely All-American running back Darrell Henderson. The junior running back has racked up 1,699 at a clip of 8.6 yards per carry with 22 total touchdowns and ran all over UCF in their last meeting for 199 yards and a score.

UCF will definitely be dedicating this game to Milton, but I’m not sure that amounts to much. What’s life like if you’re not a little scared sometimes? Memphis extracts some revenge and wins outright.

Pick: Memphis +3


SEC Championship – Alabama vs Georgia (+12.5, 63.5)

For me, this may bet the easiest game to cap this weekend.

Every week, even with these massive spreads, there seems to be whispers of “What if Alabama losses?” Guess what. They’re not going to lose. Guess what else. It’s not going to be close.

Alabama has passed every test this season with flying colors. I mean, they shutout then ranked No. 3 LSU in Death Valley and then ranked No. 16 Mississippi State at home in consecutive weeks! They covered the 25.5-point spread in the Iron Bowl. Just crazy stuff.

They rank at or near the top of every major statistical category (outside field goal percentage) you can think of. And Tua is just an unfair weapon for Nick Saban to have at his disposal. He creates too many mismatches on the field and the defense is getting better every week.

This is obviously a huge rematch for Georgia, who were seconds away from a national championship before Tua TagovaIloa happened. And they need almost certainly need a win to qualify for the CFP, but I just don’t see it happening. Georgia is good, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think they’re that much better than LSU, who by the way, the Bulldogs lost to by 20 back in mid October.

Tua and this Tide squad Saban has assembled is special. Lay the points. Bama will wins by 20.

Pick: Alabama -12.5


Mountain West Championship – Fresno State vs Boise State (-1, 52.5)

These Mountain West rivals have faced off three times since last November with the Broncos taking two of the three meetings, both of which were on the blue field of Albertson Stadium. Speaking of which, the Bulldogs have never won on the blue field. Ever.

Both teams head into this game with 10-2 records with Fresno State at 8-4 ATS and Boise State at 7-4-1 ATS. The Broncos have the better offense, while the Bulldogs have the better defense. But Broncos running back Alexander Mattison is on fire right now, rushing for 489 yards and six touchdowns in his last three games, including 144 yards and two scores against the Bulldogs just a few weeks ago.

In matchup this close, I’m giving the edge to who I think is the better quarterback, and to me that’s Brett Rypien. Throw in the blue field advantage and the Broncos capture back-to-back Mountain West titles.

Pick: Boise State -1


ACC Championship – Clemson vs Pittsburgh (+27.5, 52.5)

I honestly can’t believe this is the sad matchup we get for the ACC title game. Earlier this season I was convinced Pitt would be near the bottom of the ACC Coastal standings and maybe one of the worst teams in the country. They were blown out by Penn State and UCF and lost to a two-win UNC team. So, yeah, I still might make that argument.

It also means laying four touchdowns with Clemson doesn’t scare me. Qadree Ollison and Darrin Hall won’t be able to move the chains against a Tigers defensive line that is NFL quality and ranks No. 2 in the nation in rushing yards allowed. And they won’t get any help from a pass game that ranks 120th and is facing the team with the third most sacks this season.

For Clemson, Trevor Lawrence is looking better every week and brings balance to offense that loves to pound the rock with sophomore running back Travis Etienne. The potential ACC offensive player of the year, Etienne has totaled 1,308 yards at a clip of 8 yards per carry and has 20 total touchdowns.

Pick: Clemson -27.5


Big Ten Championship – Northwestern vs Ohio State (-14.5, 61)

This might be the game that I’m having the most trouble with.

On one side we have Ohio State, coming off a massive 62-39 dismantling of rival Michigan to get here and likely need to put down another beatdown in this matchup to qualify for the CFP.

But on the other hand, we have Northwestern. These ‘Cats are actually scrappy underdog that went 6-0-1 ATS and 4-1-1 SU when getting points this season. Northwestern also has not been in a game all season decided by more than 14 points either way. So of course, the spread is 14.5.

The Buckeyes, led by quarterback Dwayne Haskins, have the nation’s second rated offense in terms of total and passing yards and are clearly the more talented team. But before their Big Blue beatdown, the Buckeyes almost lost at Maryland, needed at late comeback vs Nebraska and were blown out at Purdue. So, this team is definitely inconsistent, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

And you know who always has his team prepared? Pat Fitzgerald. While I expect Ohio State to win, Fitzgerald will have his ‘Cats primed for one more scrappy performance.

Pick: Northwestern +14.5

Play on: UL-Lafayette +17 -103 at 5Dimes

Take the UL-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns plus the points versus the Appalachian State Mountaineers. UL-Lafayette (7-5) has won three straight games with their 31-28 upset win at UL-Monroe as a 1.5-point underdog. The Ragin’ Cajuns generated 453 yards of offense in the game — and they have covered the point spread in 5 straight games after gaining at least 450 yards in their last game. UL-Lafayette has also covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games on the road. Appalachian State (9-2) has won four straight games with their 21-10 win over Troy last week. But the Mountaineers have failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after winning at least three straight games. Appalachian State has also failed to cover the point spread in 12 of their last 15 home games after playing two conference opponents in their last two contests. Take UL-Lafayette plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Play on: Appalachian State -16½ -118 at betonline

10* FREE NCAAF PICK (Appalachian State 16.5)
I think for a lot of people that handicap this game, are going to see how close the first game was between these two teams and be quick to jump on the Ragin’ Cajuns. I just think that first go around is a bit misleading.
You have to keep in mind that no one was picking Lafayette to win the West. In fact, just about everyone was picking Arkansas State or ULM. When these two teams met in the regular season it was a really tough spot for Appalachian State. They were coming off a a huge road win over Arkansas State and had a massive showdown at Georgia Southern on deck in a matter of just 5 days. I just don’t think they took the Ragin’ Cajuns all that seriously and they were up 17-points before Lafayette added a garbage TD in the final minutes to lose by 10.
This time around Appalachian State is going to be 100% locked in and I just think that there’s a big enough gap in talent that a focused and motivated Mountaineers team, especially at home, will have no problem winning here by at least 20 points.
Offensively these two teams are pretty similar, as both have made a living with their running game. The big difference is the two defenses. Appalachian State is giving up just 15.4 ppg and 278 ypg games (only 4.3 yards/play). Lafayette isn’t even close to that. The Ragin’ Cajuns come in allowing 34.0 ppg and 443 ypg (6.5 yards/play).
If you remember back to last year, these two teams played on Dec. 2nd with Appalachian State needing a win to secure at least a tie of the Sun Belt regular-season title and they annihilated Lafayette 63-14 on their home field as a mere 14-point favorite. You also can’t ignore the fact that the books had the Mountaineers as a 26-point favorite the first time around. I get that line was probably a few points high, but I think they have over-adjusted. Give me Appalachian State -16.5!

Dave’s Saturday Free Play:

The Key: Betting against Tom Herman as an underdog has been a losing proposition. Herman is now 13-1 ATS as an underdog in 14 games in this spot as a head coach, and his teams have won outright 10 times. And now Texas is catching 9.5 points against an Oklahoma team they already beat 48-45 earlier this season on a neutral. Herman will have his guys motivated here to pull off another upset. And Oklahoma has been vulnerable as 3 of its last 4 wins have come by 5 points or less. The Sooners are very fortunate to be 11-1 this season because they have won every close game other than the Red River Rivalry. They may win this game as well, but it won’t be by double-digits. Take Texas.

Play on: Siena +8½ -110 at sportsbook

Siena has lost four straight entering this one against Harvard. The Saints have flashed some competitiveness during that stretch and are getting a Harvard team that could be without leading scorer Chris Lewis. Siena has two good scorers with Jalen Pickett and Evan Fisher, but not a ton behind them. Harvard is 4-3 and still waiting for their two best players to even play their first game of the season. The Crimson have lost to Northeastern, Rhode Island and San Francisco. The team's wins were against MIT, UMass, St. Mary's and Holy Cross. I think they are laying a little bit too much in this one as overcoming Lewis' injury will be tough.

Play on: Central Florida -170 at 5Dimes

This is a Free #NCAAF play on the UCF Knights. The self proclaimed "national champs" are gunning for a second consecutive perfect season, but they have to face rivals Memphis without their star quarterback McKenzie Milton. When you consider that the Knights had to rally from behind to beat the Tigers by a single point with Milton under center earlier this year, you might think that UCF is in trouble. Keep in mind that game was at Memphis, and this game will be played in Orlando. Milton was nowhere near at 100 percent in that game either, he was unable to run the ball and he completed just 17 of 29 passes for 296 yards and a TD. I don't think it's asking much of Darriel Mack Jr. to put up similar numbers here in the AAC Championship Game. He already picked up a solid 37-10 road win over ECU earlier this year while filling in for an injured Milton. He ran for 120 yards and a TD in that game. The Knights are 10-0 straight up versus Memphis since 2007, and a perfect 5-0 ATS at home during that span. I'll take the home favorite to get the "W". Take UCF. GL, Jesse Schule

Alabama -12.5 2.2% Free Play
I looked hard to find reasons to take the dog here, but just couldn't find them. Alabama is 6th against the run, and probably better than that when you factor in how many games their defense was just not trying because their offense put up 40+ points in the first half. When Tua came into the game last year it was just a different game as Alabama went on a 26-10 run on their way to a come back victory. This year's Georgia is just as good on offense if not better, but they lack some of the senior laden leadership, and their defense is not nearly as good ranking 46th vs. the run, and 62nd in defensive success rating. Alabama is #1 in offense and defensive success rate and a ridiculous 27.2 % success rate differential. Compare that with Georgia who is at 11.4%. To impact this game Georgia needs to get after Tua, and we have seen him make mistakes, but Georgia ranks 118th in sack % this year against teams that don't protect the QB well, and Alabama's offensive line has been a rock. This is a high total, and I expect a cover by Alabama winning by 20+ points.

Play on: Pittsburgh +28 -110 at Bovada

Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Pittsburgh +28
The Clemson Tigers don’t need style points this week. They simply need to win and get out of town and get into the four-team playoff. They won’t be looking to impress anyone Saturday when they take on the Pitt Panthers. Simply a victory would get them into the four-team playoff. That’s why they shouldn’t be laying four touchdowns here.
These Clemson lines are really starting to get out of hand. They failed to cover last week as 25.5-point favorites against South Carolina, and they also failed to cover the week before as 29.5-point favorites over Duke. Heck, South Carolina put up 35 points and 600 total yards on them last week. Pitt can hang within 28 points.
I think the betting public wants nothing to do with Pitt after its 3-24 loss to Miami last week. But that was a clear look-ahead spot for the Panthers as they had already clinched the ACC Coastal Division title and really had nothing to play for. They were simply saving up for Clemson.
More important is how Pitt played in previous weeks when they were motivated leading up to that Miami game. The Panthers went 5-1 SU and a perfect 6-0 ATS in their previous six games. Their only loss was a 14-19 loss at Notre Dame as 21-point dogs. That’s a 12-0 Notre Dame team that has clinched a spot in the four-team playoff. They also pulled outright upsets over Syracuse, Duke and Virginia, while also beating VA Tech by 30 and Wake Forest by 21 as favorites.
Remember a few years ago when Pitt was in a similar situation against Clemson. The Panthers actually upset the Tigers 43-42 as 21.5-point underdogs. Now, I’m not saying they’re going to pull the upset again, but they don’t have to for us to cash a winning ticket. They just need to stay within four touchdowns, which they are clearly capable of.
Plays against any team (Clemson) - after gaining 575 or more total yards in their previous game against an opponent that gained 3.25 or fewer yards per play in their previous game are 28-7 (80%) ATS over the last 10 seasons. Dabo Swinney is 3-12 ATS as a favorite of 21.5 to 31 points as the coach of Clemson. The Panthers are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 games following a loss. Bet Pittsburgh Saturday.

This is just too good a price to pass up with Boise State at basically a pick'em on their home field against the Bulldogs. We saw this same mistake when these two teams played in the regular-season, as the Broncos were a 2-point home dog to Fresno back on Nov. 9th. Boise State won that game 24-17 and I expect the same outcome here.
Both of these teams are strong defensively and while the two offenses put up similar numbers in the regular-season, Fresno Sate was not nearly as efficient on the road. Boise State averaged 34.8 ppg at home, while holding opponents to 18.5 ppg. Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien was the difference in the first meeting, throwing for 269 yards, while also rushing for 30 yards and gaining several key first downs.
Backing Boise State as a dog has been a wise investment. The Broncos are 28-14 ATS last 42 as an underdog. They are also 40-23 ATS in their last 63 when facing high-scoring teams, who are averaging 31 or more points/game and 41-18 ATS last 59 vs teams who average 250 or more passing yards. Simply a great spot and matchup for the home team. Take Boise State!
