Georgia Tech -8.5 over Maryland
Maryland has a great defense however they are now on their 5th string QB and coming into this week they didn’t even have a guy on the team that could play the position. Forget about the points. There is no way Gtech should lose this game. Maryland is going to have a tough time scoring and its just a matter of time before the Yellow Jackets break this game wide open. Take Georgia Tech.Comment

Coming off a monster weekend last week after we went 4-0-1 in NCAAF returning(+10.50 Units) plus another (+3.50 Units) after going 2-0 in NFL for a (+14.00 Unit) weekend overall. NCAAF is 24-16 (+18.85 Units) for an incredible 66% on the season. We are excited to get back into NBA as well. The system has gone 6-1 in the first three days and we hope to continue that streak.
Virginia +10.5 (to win 2 Units) - NC State has not beaten an FBS opponent by more than 8 points this season. Virginia has looked just awful all season, but these teams are very familiar with one another. Virginia is coming off the bye and while we don't think they will win, they will surely have fixed most of their issues and come out strong.
Iowa St +12 (to win 1.5 Units) - Iowa state has hung in there against some tough competition this year. Oklahoma comes into town after a huge loss and will look to enact some punishment on Iowa St. Both defenses play well however, but to get 12 points for a good home dog is a tremendous value.
Arkansas -9 (to win 3 Units) - Normally we don't like playing a big number like this, but Arkansas is going to be very motivated having lost a nailbiter to Ole Miss last week coming off the bye. Tulsa has had trouble with the likes of Rice and Tulsa so far this season. The Arkansas passing attack should keep the Razorbacks far ahead.Comment

Take Mississippi State Bulldogs +7 over Texas A&M Aggies 1 Unit 3:30pmEST
Mississippi State, an SEC team that has been an SEC team for a long time....at home...against a team that is brand new to the SEC and has lost all of their games against ranked opponents this season and the home team is being spotted a touchdown?? How does that make any sense? Don't let the loss at Alabama fool you. This Mississippi St team is a very solid team. They may not be as flashy as Johnny Manziel but they are solid nonetheless. We have seen what happens to Manziel when he plays a team with any type of defense; he tends to fold. Mississippi State doesn't have a stellar defense like Florida or Alabama, but they have a strong secondary and a front 7 that if they play disciplined should be able to contain Manziel and prevent him from gaining too many yards on the ground. Mississippi QB Tyler Russell has been quietly making a name for himself as he owns a 15-2 TD-INT ratio. They are balanced on both sides of the ball and will be a tough test for A&M this afternoon. I think a TD is just too many points to spot with this team at home. I'm seeing a 31-27 type ending to this game. Take the points.
Take Oregon Ducks -8 over USC Trojans. 1 Unit 7:30pmEST
This is the game that is going to make or break the Oregon Ducks season. They have been looking forward to this game since last season where they fell by a late field goal in Eugene. This season has a much different feel than last year however. USC is not the same team that they were last season. They were the spoiler team; they were the team that had nothing to lose and nothing to play for. This season, in Matt Barkleys senior season they are in the spotlight; they had all eyes on them and had high hopes coming into the season. There were even talks about National Champions; however they have failed to live up to expectations. They are playing undisciplined football and their mistakes pile up big time in a game. This is not a game where they can let mistakes pile up, not against the Ducks. Everyone knows the style of offense that Oregon plays and we have seen what that offense can do to teams. This season I feel is the very best Ducks team that we have seen. They have reloaded on offense and their defense is probably the best in the PAC-12. They pride themselves on keeping teams out of the endzone. The only points teams have really scored on them are the “garbage time” touchdowns that they allow at the end of a game. This team is just scary good and this revenge game is a chance for them to come out and flex their muscle. They are currently ranked number 4 and will need a big win today in hopes to propel themselves up the rankings past ND and K State. Oregon gets it done with a double digit win.
Take Nebraska Cornhuskers PK over Michigan State. 1 Unit 3:30pm EST
Plain and simple reasoning for this play; I do not trust Michigan State’s offense at all. They are not good on the offensive side of the ball at all. As good as they are defensively ( and they are pretty good ) defense does not win ball games. You have to score points in order to win the game. Michigan State is 5-4 on the year, in those 4 losses they had scored 3, 10 and 16 twice. If Michigan State falls behind in a game, it makes it tough for them to get back into it. They had a last minute 4th quarter drive against Wisconsin in a game where they were completely being held down in. You really can’t count on a offense to do that for you in every game. That would have made 3 straight losses for the Spartans and 4 out of the last 5. The hotter and more offensively competent team gets the win in this one.
Take Penn State Nittany Lions -3.5 over Purdue 1 Unit 3:30pmEST
Not only have I given up on Purdue this season, but I think they have given up on themselves as well. In last week’s game against Minnesota, the Boilermakers just looked flat and unmotivated. It appears that they have packed it in this season but the same can’t be said for the Nittany Lions. Coach O Brian has done wonders with the offense on this team. Matt McGloin looks like an All-Star QB out there. They have been a great story this season but don’t let the loss at Ohio State last week skew your perception. This Penn State team is a good football team. They have always had the defense in place. Now that their offense is clicking, there is no end to what this team can accomplish ( just not this season ). Last week I picked the opposite of these teams, I went with Purdue and picked opposite of Penn State, this week I’m siding with Penn St and picking against Purdue. Styles make matchups and they can change from week to week. Purdue is just going to go through the motions in this one while Penn State will have come to play and rebound from the Ohio State loss. Penn should cover this fairly easy.Comment
