Football Lines that Make You GO Hmmm...
by Jason Logan

NCAAF

Michigan Wolverines at Ohio State Buckeyes (-3.5, 54.5)

These types of rivalry games demand a certain amount of give and take, but this spread has dropped from its opener of -5 to as low as OSU -3.5. That early move stinks of steam and you can expect heavy buyback on the Buckeyes if it goes to a field goal.

Ohio State, which many think is the top team in the nation, is banned from postseason play, leaving this showdown with “that team up north” as its bowl game. Head coach Urban Meyer is more than familiar with college football’s biggest rivalry, growing up in Ohio, and is even going after Michigan head coach Brady Hoke – a fellow Ohio native.

“He was born in the state of Ohio - which I still don't get,” Meyer told the Detroit Free Press of Hoke. “That's another story. But I guess it adds to the intensity.”

Even with Michigan QB Denard Robinson back under center, the spread seems too low against the 11-0 Buckeyes.

Kentucky Wildcats at Tennessee Volunteers (-13, 61)

This SEC toilet bowl features two teams that have canned their head coaches and would love to just have the season over with. Somehow, books are tagging the Vols as 13-point favorites in the wake of Derek Dooley’s termination following a 41-18 loss to rival Vanderbilt last weekend.

Tennessee has come up short against the spread in three straight games and is just 3-8 ATS on the year. Kentucky announced that it was letting head coach Joker Phillips go at the end of the season, prompting the Wildcats players to rally behind Phillips in his final game.

“It would be huge. To send him out on a high note like that, it would be huge for us and the seniors as well,” linebacker Avery Williamson told reporters. “I feel like he deserves it. He gave his all even though we didn't get the results we wanted this year. I feel like him and his staff, they gave it all and put it all on the line for us to have a good season."

Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Pittsburgh Panthers (-2, 43.5)

Rutgers, which announced it would be joining the Big Ten in 2014 this week, is in the hunt for a chunk of the Big East regular season title versus Pitt this weekend.

Books are dealing the motivated Scarlet Knights as 2-point road dogs at Heinz Field, facing a Panthers team coming off back-to-back losses, including a 24-17 stinker against UConn last week. Pitt has covered only twice in its last seven home games with Rutgers.

The Scarlet Knights RB Jawan Jamison has been slowed by a sprained ankle but backup Savon Huggins was more than capable of towing the load, rushing for 179 yards versus Cincinnati last week. A possible look-ahead spot may have books playing it cool with Rutgers, which faces Louisville with a potential BCS bowl appearance on the line next week.

Exposing the Top 25: Where the Polls Went Wrong
by Chris Elliott

Each week throughout the college football season, Chris Elliott will dissect the new Top 25 rankings, looking for betting value. He'll showcase the most overrated team, along with the most underrated ranked team, and an unranked squad that he feels should be in the Top 25.

Most Underrated Top 25 Team - Stanford Cardinal (9-2, 7-4 ATS)

Stanford has surprised experts and football fans alike as it has a chance to match last season's record of 11-2 without arguably the nation's top offensive player from the past two seasons. The Cardinal have won five straight games with their last loss coming by a score of 20-13 at current No. 1 Notre Dame on Oct. 13. Stanford has played and beaten a "who's who" of competition this season, including Oregon and Oregon State in back-to-back weeks.

Saturday they travel to the Rose bowl to challenge a Bruins squad that has won five straight games as well. This will be a battle of the Cardinal’s 10th-ranked scoring defense against the Bruins’ 20th-ranked scoring offense. After Stanford held Oregon to 14 points last week, I expect they will get the job done in week 13.

Most Overrated Top 25 Team - South Carolina Gamecocks (9-2, 7-4 ATS)

South Carolina is coming off a 24-7 victory over the Wofford Terriers out of the Southern Conference Saturday. The Gamecocks scored 17 points in the final 12 minutes to break a fourth quarter tie. The team was out-yarded 330 to 293 against the Terriers as they remain without their top offensive weapon RB Marcus Lattimore.

South Carolina will be tested Saturday at No. 12 Clemson with their impressive fourth-ranked scoring offense. The Gamecocks are 0-2 this season on the road against ranked opponents losing by a combined margin of minus-17.5 point per game. They are 3-5 SU at Clemson since 1996 and I expect that trend to continue Saturday.

Unranked Team That Should Be Ranked - San Jose State Spartans (9-2, 9-2 ATS)

San Jose State is 9-1 in its last 10 games after opening the season with a tight 20-17 defeat at No. 11 Stanford. The Spartans are coming off an impressive 20-14 home victory over BYU to increase their win streak to five consecutive games.

San Jose State will challenge the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (9-2) at Spartan Stadium Saturday night. The Bulldogs are coming off a devastating home OT loss to Utah State, basically handing the Aggies the WAC title in the process, as they only need to beat Idaho (1-10) in their final regular season game to clinch. Expect a letdown game from the Bulldogs as the Spartans finish strong at home Saturday.

Michigan at Ohio State: What Bettors Need to Know

Michigan at Ohio State (-4, 55.5)

Ohio State is not eligible for the postseason this year. That means no Big Ten championship game and no BCS bowl at the end for a team that has yet to take a loss. The annual showdown with Michigan on Saturday in Columbus is big enough with the postseason still on the table, but this year the 20th-ranked Wolverines represent the Super Bowl for Ohio State. Michigan snapped a seven-game losing streak in the series last season. The Buckeyes are one of two teams in the FBS entering the weekend undefeated (along with Notre Dame) and will challenge a stout Wolverines defense with Braxton Miller and the spread offense. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer is getting his first taste of the rivalry but is well aware of the tradition and the pressure to win this game. Michigan coach Brady Hoke earned the respect and adoration of the Wolverines faithful by snapping the seven-game losing streak and will be trying to guide his team to its first win in the Horseshoe since 2000.

TV: 12 p.m. ET, ABC.

LINE: Ohio State -4, 55.5 O/U.

WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for temperatures around the freezing mark with mostly cloudy skies. Winds will blow out of the WNW at 13 mph.

ABOUT MICHIGAN (8-3, 6-1 Big Ten): The Wolverines will know by the time they take the field if they have a shot at the Big Ten championship game and the BCS bowl that goes to the winner. Currently tied with Nebraska atop the Legends Division, Michigan needs the Cornhuskers to lose at Iowa on Friday. Either way, the Wolverines will throw a new-look offense at the Buckeyes. Quarterback Devin Gardner took over when Denard Robinson went down with nerve damage in his throwing elbow and stayed at QB when Robinson returned last week. With Robinson serving as wide receiver, running back and option quarterback, Michigan rolled up 513 total yards in a 42-17 victory. Gardner threw for three touchdowns and rushed for three more. Hoke has suggested that Robinson may be able to throw some passes this week, though Gardner will likely start under center.

ABOUT OHIO STATE (11-0, 7-0): If it weren’t for the sanctions stemming from the end of Jim Tressel’s tenure, Meyer’s team would be fighting Notre Dame for the top spot in the BCS standings this week. Meyer has been quick to dismiss the what-ifs and focus on this week. Michigan has not faced a quarterback as dynamic as the Buckeye’s Miller, who has guided his team to the top scoring offense in the Big Ten at 38.2 points. Miller is a lot like Robinson at Michigan but has taken a big step forward this season and enters the final game with 1,850 passing yards and 1,214 yards on the ground. He will be looking to bounce back after a sub-par performance in last week’s 21-14 overtime victory at Wisconsin. Carlos Hyde scored the overtime winner in that game as Miller was held out of the end zone for the first time this season.

TRENDS:

* Wolverines are 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Over is 5-0 in Wolverines’ last five November games.
* Road team is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings.
* Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings at Ohio State.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Ohio State has not finished undefeated since the 2002 squad won the National Championship.

2. Robinson totaled 337 yards of offense and five touchdowns in leading the Wolverines to a 40-34 victory in last season’s meeting.

3. Robinson needs one passing touchdown to become the first player in Big Ten history to post 50 passing TDs and 40 rushing TDs in his career.

Oregon at Oregon State: What Bettors Need to Know

Oregon at Oregon State (9.5, 66)

The 116th edition of the Civil War was on track to represent a chance for No. 4 Oregon to complete a perfect season. Now the Ducks might not even be playing in the Pac-12 title contest even if they beat No. 17 Oregon State in Corvallis on Saturday. Oregon’s perfect season was derailed in overtime by Stanford on Nov. 17 and now the Ducks have to beat Oregon State and have UCLA knock out Stanford to reach the conference championship game. The Beavers are 5-0 at home and are frothing to end Oregon’s four-game winning streak in the series. Oregon State would finish in a three-way for the North Division crown if it beats Oregon and Stanford loses, but the Cardinal claim the division title in that scenario since they defeated both Oregon schools.

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

LINE: Oregon -9.5, 66 O/U.

WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the mid-40s with an 85 percent chance of showers. Winds will be calm.

ABOUT OREGON (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12): The Ducks have won 15 consecutive road games, the longest active streak in the nation. Senior running back Kenjon Barner has rushed for 1,426 yards, but has failed to hit the century mark in either of the last two games. He had 66 yards against Stanford, one week after having only 65 against California. Redshirt freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota is completing 69.8 percent of his passes and has thrown 29 touchdown passes and only six interceptions. Senior linebacker Michael Clay has a team-best 82 tackles and had a staggering 20 against Stanford. The Ducks have intercepted 20 passes and returned four for touchdowns.

ABOUT OREGON STATE (8-2, 6-2): The Beavers have a stout defense that ranks second in the Pac-12 in scoring defense (18.6) and has intercepted 17 passes. Senior cornerback Jordan Poyer has six picks and 12 over his standout career. Oregon State defense is allowing opponents to convert only 28.9 percent of third-down opportunities. A year ago, Beavers’ opponents converted 47.4 percent. Sophomore quarterback Sean Mannion passed for 325 yards and matched a career-best with four touchdowns passes in a 62-14 dismantling of California. Sophomore Terron Ward rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns against the Golden Bears.

TRENDS:

* Ducks are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games.
* Beavers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.
* Over is 4-1 in Ducks’ last five road games.
* Over is 9-1 in the last 10 meetings.
* Road team is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six meetings.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Oregon leads the series 59-46-10. Oregon State’s most-recent victory was a 38-31 double-overtime win in 2007.

2. The Beavers have turned the football over only 14 times, the fewest in the Pac-12.

3. The Ducks had scored 42 points or more in 13 straight games – an NCAA record – before tallying just 14 in the loss to Stanford.

Notre Dame at USC: What Bettors Need to Know

Notre Dame at USC (5, 45.5)

It all comes down to Saturday for No. 1 Notre Dame. Things broke right for the Fighting Irish last weekend, when No. 1 Oregon and No. 2 Kansas State both fell, allowing Notre Dame to slip right into the top spot in the BCS standings. The only thing standing in the way now is rival Southern California. The Fighting Irish will visit the Trojans with a National Championship shot on the line Saturday night. Notre Dame enjoyed an easy victory over Wake Forest on Senior Day last week as the rest of the top three was falling apart around the country. USC began the season thinking this game would be their final stop before a shot at the BCS title, but things have not quite gone according to plan. The Trojans have dropped three of their last four games to fall out of BCS consideration but can head into the bowl season with smiles on their faces by keeping the rival Irish out of the title game. They will have to accomplish that with a first-time starter at quarterback, however, as redshirt freshman Max Wittek is taking the place of injured starter Matt Barkley.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ABC.

LINE: Notre Dame -5, 45.5 O/U.

WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the low-70s with clear skies. Wind shouldn’t be a factor.

ABOUT NOTRE DAME (11-0): The Irish have been tested plenty of times in their first 11 games and have won by a touchdown or less five times thanks to a defense that has allowed an FBS-low 10.1 points. That unit could send linebacker Manti Te’o to the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York and even win him the award with a big performance Saturday. Notre Dame has allowed only eight touchdowns this season - tops in the country. But the most impressive thing about the Irish over the past few games has been the performance of quarterback Everett Golson. The redshirt freshman has thrown for seven touchdowns and two picks in the last three games and exploded for a season-high 346 yards and three touchdowns in the 38-0 victory over Wake Forest last Saturday.

ABOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (7-4): The Trojans have the offensive firepower to attack Notre Dame’s relative weaknesses in the defensive backfield. Wide receivers Marqise Lee and Robert Woods are arguably the top tandem in the nation and will make the transition to starting easier for Wittek. Barkley went down in the second half of last week’s 38-28 loss to rival UCLA with a shoulder injury and Wittek completed all three of his attempts for 40 yards. The precocious freshman was confident during an ESPN radio interview this week, saying “I’m gonna go out there, I’m gonna play within myself, within the system, and we’re gonna win this ballgame.” Wittek might have trouble running up the score against Te’o and company and could use some help from his own defense, which has been shredded for 46.3 points in the last three losses.

TRENDS:

* Fighting Irish are 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. Pac-12 foes.
* Trojans are 1-5 ATS in their last six vs. a team with a winning record.
* Under is 6-1 in Trojans’ last seven home games.
* Under is 7-1-1 in Notre Dame’s last nine road games.
* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Notre Dame is ranked No. 1 for the first time since 1993. The Irish have lost at USC as the No. 1 team twice before - in 1938 and 1965.

2. USC has taken nine of the last 10 meetings, with the lone setback coming in 2010, when Barkley missed the game because of injury.

3. Lee was named one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award honoring the nation’s top receiver.
