Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CFB *10* (TOP Play) OVER in Florida State at South Florida @ 6:00 PM ET – The Florida State Seminoles travel to take on in-state rival South Florida on Saturday evening. Florida State is 4-0 on the season while South Florida comes in with a 2-2 record. Florida State is putting up huge numbers this year scoring 56.2 points per game overall this season. They may get the Over themselves here tonight. Their lowest point outing this year was when they scored only 49 points against Clemson this past week. Both teams normally get off to huge scoring games in September as the Over is 4-1 last 5 games in September for Florida State while the Over is 4-1-1 last 6 games for South Florida in September. The Over is 3-1-1 last 5 games for South Florida off an ATS loss. Florida State has been solid both running and passing the ball this year. The Seminoles are averaging a whopping 281 yards per game on the ground this season and 293.5 yards per game in the air this year. Combined they are averaging a whopping 574.5 yards per game overall on the season. I think Florida State will put up some huge numbers again tonight and don't be surprised if they come close to getting the Over all by themselves again. Play OVER in South Florida as a *10* TOP Play selection Saturday.
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CFB *8* (Regular Play) OVER in Central Michigan at Northern Illinois @ 3:30 PM ET – The Central Michigan Chippewas travel to take on the Northern Illinois Huskies on Saturday afternoon. Central Michigan is 2-1 on the season while Northern Illinois comes in at 3-1 overall this year. Central Michigan is scoring 32 points per game on the road this year. Central Michigan is allowing 33 points per game overall this year and 31 points per game on the road this season. Northern Illinois is scoring 32.5 points per game at home this year. The Over is 12-4 the past 3 years when Central Michigan is installed as an underdog. Central Michigan beat Northern Illinois 48-41 last year and I'm seeing a similar outcome here today as far as the total goes as we should see a lot of points scored. The Over is 6-1 last 7 games when Central Michigan is on the road. The Over is 9-2-1 last 13 games overall for Central Michigan. The Over is 7-2 last 9 games when Central Michigan faces a conference opponent. Plenty of scoring here today. Play OVER in Northern Illinois as a *8* Regular Play selection Saturday.
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CFB *8* (Regular Play) OVER in Baylor at West Virginia @ 12:00 PM ET – The Baylor Bears travel to West Virginia to take on the Mountaineers on Saturday afternoon. Both teams come in with identical 3-0 records on the season. Baylor is scoring 51.3 points per game overall this year and 47 points per game on the road this season. Baylor is allowing 42 points per game on the road this year. West Virginia is scoring 47.3 points per game overall this year and 50 points per game at home this season. Baylor is averaging 568.7 yards per game while West Virginia is averaging 529 yards per game this season. The Over is 20-7 last 27 games overall for Baylor the past 3 years. The Over has cashed 15 out of the past 17 games when Baylor plays against conference opponents. The Over is 12-1 last 13 games the past 3 years when Baylor faces a team with a winning record. These two teams will go up and down the field and go over this total which is one of the highest totals I've ever seen but makes no difference as it goes OVER easy. Play OVER in West Virginia as a *8* Regular Play selection Saturday.
While it is only week 5 in the college football season, I believe this game could be a bowl game elimination type game for both teams. Duke has lost 12 straight in this series, but I am so impressed with the improvement the Blue Devils have made every year under David Cutcliff.
Wake Forest is off of a shootout win last week over Army and could be in a flat position at home. This game kicks off at 12:30 p.m., and I expect BB&T Field to be three quarters empty at the start. Wake also struggles with teams that have the ability to beat them in the passing game.
Look for Duke to get the monkey off their back and get a huge win in Winston-Salem.
I believe there's a ton of value having Duke and point.
4 Units: Central Florida -2 12:00PM EST
Missouri's SEC debut has been a total flop as they are now 0-2 in the league. They are in a tough spot Saturday as they will travel to Orlando to face a mid-major in UCF. The Knights are a solid football team and would be in contention for a BCS Bowl if not for their bowl ban. I believe they could actually compete with Florida to fight for the second best team in state title behind Florida State. That's the kind of talent George O'Leary has recruited and the caliber of coach he is.
On the other hand, Missouri is just an incomplete product right now. James Franklin is playing without any confidence allowing this attitude to spill over to the entire Missouri team. Look for UCF's defense to keep uncertainty in Franklin's mind, and get a big home victory on Saturday. Lay the two points and take Central Florida (UCF).
