POWERSWEEPKEY SELECTIONS
4* GEORGIA TECH over Pittsburgh - The L/mtg was ‘76. Pitt has a situational edge having
played Navy LW giving them a full game’s work vs the option (also faced NM earlier TY). GT is
playing for an 8th str wk with a bye on deck and this is HC. GT playing at home though gives us
warm and fuzzy thoughts as 2 wks ago they were a 4H Top Weekly LPS and 3H Key Selection on
these pages and won 56-0 (-7) over Syracuse covering by 7 td’s. LW they beat UVA 35-25 (-10)
on the road despite being outFD’d 32-18 and lost the TOP battle 34:44-25:16. However,
amazingly GT had 5 TO’s and despite the large FD discrepancy, had the yardage edge (507-444).
They are now one win away from their 17th consec bowl appearance. LW Pitt completely
dominated the 1H having edges in total plays (44-22), TOP (22:07-7:53) and ydg (252-135) but
only led 13-7. That would come back to bite them as they lost 24-21 (-5) at Navy. We have had
a pretty good pulse on these tms TY, going 4-0 on Weekly LPS. We like what we’re seeing from
GT these L/2 wks while Pitt could be caught looking ahead to their HG vs ND next wk (always play
Irish tough). For the 2nd time in 3 wks, we think a tm goes into Atlanta and gets stung in a big
way.
FORECAST: GEORGIA TECH by 21 over Pittsburgh
3* TULSA over Utsa - First meeting. Tulsa’s 1st HG in 4 wks and it’s HC. In the preseason you
would be thinking the Golden Hurricane might be looking ahead with CUSA East powers E Car and
Marsh on deck but now at 2-5 on the year, every game and every win is critical. Tulsa had a 344-
301 yd edge in LW’s 14-7 loss (-3) to Tulane but couldn’t overcome 4 TO’s. Frosh QB Evans was
only 13-30-139-0-3 LW, but st’g QB Green should be back for this one (missed LW w/minor knee
inj). His prev gm vs UTEP was arguably the best gm of his career going 14-17-226-2-0 in the win.
UTSA is off a 52-31 win (-8) over UAB but they were outFD’d 29-26. It’s now or never for the
Hurricane and in the preseason this line may have been 3 td’s. Grab the value while you still can.
FORECAST: TULSA by 13 over Utsa
OTHER SELECTIONS
2* MICHIGAN ST by 8 over Michigan - In ‘07 RB Mike Hart made a comment about MSU being
UM’s “little brother” and MSU would win the next 4 years (1,318 days) SU by 12 ppg (also covered
4 str). LY it was a focus for UM at home to finally get the win but MSU covered a 5th str year in
a def struggle that they could have easily won. Had MSU punched in a td late 4Q they would
have won but instead on 4&gl from the 1, they settled for a 19 yd FG and only led 10-9 with 5:48
left. UM got it back with 2:00 left on their 38 and got a 38 yd FG w/:05 left for the win. UM is off
a bye for this gm for the first time s/1919 and prior to the bye won a shootout over Indiana 63-47
(-9’), as their offense topped 40+ for the 5th time TY! This wk that mark will be in jeopardy big
time as MSU again showed why their def is among the nation’s elite holding Illinois to just 128 yds
in their 42-3 win (-8’) LW. The tm with the most rushing yds has won 40 of the L/43 meetings
which obviously favors MSU as they have our #1 ranked rushing D in the nation all’g just 55 ypg
(2.1) and UM has had several inj’s and lack of production on their OL this yr. Sparty gets another
win over Big Brother!
FORECAST: MICHIGAN ST by 10 over Michigan
2* FLORIDA ST over Miami, Fl - The last time these two faced off as undefeated top 10 teams
was in 2003. Both teams were ranked in the top 20 nine straight years from ‘99-’06 and this marks
the 1st time in 6Y (were #23 and #13 in ‘10). The visitor is now 6-1 ATS and there were EIGHT
upsets in 9Y thru 2010 (every line -7 or less) but FSU has been a 10 and 21 pt fav the L2Y and
while they won both Miami covered both. LY TO’s set up UM for a 10-0 lead then FSU would
dominate outscoring UM 33-3 but UM got an 8 yd td pass with :47 left to “only” lose 33-20 (+21).
FSU got their revenge on NCSt LW as they are determined to put the “underachiever” label to
rest. UM, meanwhile, had to feel fortunate to escape for the 2nd wk in a row beating WF 24-21
(-25) as we easily won our NC Sports College Comp POW on the Demon Deacons. FSU just may be
the best team in the country this year and are certainly well balanced (our #4 off, #7 def, #2
ST’s) while UM is not quite at the top 10 level. Florida St is now 7-0-1 ATS at home the L2Y when
laying more than 14 w/an avg cover of 18 ppg and we think they make another statement here.
FORECAST: FLORIDA ST by 31 over Miami, Fl
UNDERDOG PLAY OF THE WEEK
Here is TW's Underdog Play: TENNESSEE +12 MISSOURI
The Tigers got their only SEC road win vs the Vols LY. It was a tough loss for UT as they
dominated the 1H with a 383-64 yd edge and 20-4 FD edge. MO had an 87 yd KR td and UT missed a 43 yd FG and only led 21-7 at the half. MO got a 77 yd td on the first play of the 2H.
MO faced a 4&12 with :47 left and got a 25 yd td pass to force OT. UT was SOD on 4&3 in the
2OT. Tenn is on a 2nd straight away gm and off a loss at Bama 45-10 (+28). The Vols were down
35-0 at HT and went to frosh QB Dobbs in the 2H (Worley inj’d). Getting blown out to your rival
who is vastly superior is one thing, however blowing a 17-0 4Q lead at home with huge
championship implications is another as the prev unbeaten Tigers lost 27-24 (-2’) in 2OT to S Car. While they still control their own destiny in the SEC East, a win over the Gamecocks would have
all but assured a trip to Atlanta and you have to wonder what frame of mind they will be. Two
wks ago, the Vols beat that same S Car tm who beat MO LW and it wouldn’t shock us if they
pulled another upset here.

RED SHEET
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Arizona 51 - CALIFORNIA 17 - (3:30 EDT) -- Line opened at Arizona minus 14½, and is now minus 16. As you can see,this edition of Red Sheet college plays is loaded with top-heavy chalks,
& altho each selection is welldeserved, the main focus is on the utter haplessness of each squad's
opposition. The 'Cats havesimply cemented Rodriguez' rep as a true offensive whiz. Check 31 pts
at SoCal, which has allowedonly 10, 7, & 14 pts in its other 3 hosters. Try 406 RYs, & 676 TYs in
last week's wipeout of Colorado.In QB Denker, he has another "do-everything" leader (270 PYs,
191 RYs vs Buffs). Won't be con-tained by the Bears' 123rd ranked "D". This a far cry from LY's
10-9 nailbiter. Reasonable spread.
RATING 89: ARIZONA
MARSHALL 58 - So Mississippi 14 - (12:00 - CBSC) -- Line opened at Marshall minus 28½, and
is still minus 28½. Didwe mention the futility of each squad's opponent this week? They just don't
come any more vulner-able, than these Eagles of SoMiss, who've seen their super gridiron
tradition turn to dust over the past2 seasons. Not only has SoMiss lost its LAST 19 STRAIGHT
GAMES on the field, but note a match-ing 4-15 ATS record. They've been stung for 41 ppg in
their last 12 games, with a minus 90½ ptsATS in their last 4 outings The Herd is averaging 38.3
ppg in its last 10 contests, & should top that.
RATING 89: MARSHALL
UCLA 58 - Colorado 10 - (7:30) -- Line opened at UCLA minus 24, & is now minus 27. Such
hopes for this Buffalo outfit,which returned 17 starters for new HC MacIntyre. Those expectations
appeared legitimate followingtheir opening day win over ColoradoSt (17-pt cover), & a
walkthrough triumph over CentArkansas.But that was it: four consecutive losses in lined contests,
both SU, & ATS, losing those l4 by anaverage score of 50-16. Enter this off a 406-136 RY deficit.
Enter the Bruins, who have fallen to #17in the polls following a pair of losses to mighty Stanford &
Oregon. Can't wait to shake the demons.
RATING 88: UCLA
LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE 55 - New Mexico State 14 - (5:00) -- Line opened at La-Lafayette minus 27, and is nowminus 30. Over the past few years, we've wondered if the oddsmakers can make the line highenough in Aggie contests. They are currently on a 2-21 SU slide, while owning
the nation's absoluteworst defense, in run, total, & scoring, allowing a staggering 47 ppg in their
last 24 lined contests.The Cajuns, on the other hand, are streaking, with 5 straight wins, while
covering their last 3 by 51pts, & in off a 302-yd advantage over ArkySt. Ags lost their last RG by
a 66-17 count (38½ pt ATS).

PINNACLE---ARKANSAS....SURPRISE NCAA UPSET GAME OF THE YEAR

Where did this Auburn team come from? They have been under-the-radar all season long and were not mentioned in the same breadth as Bama and LSU and sit at 7-1. Auburn seems to be stuck at 45 points in a game here lately as that is what the Tigers scored the past couple of games. But their last outing was Florida Intl. Not exactly your powerhouse football team. It seems that all they do is run the ball. Even against little Flor Intl they rushed 59 times.That will get you a win but usually not a win AND cover on the road in the SEC. The Razorbacks have lost 4 in a row but the silver lining is the schedule eases up after this game. Arkansas catches an Auburn in a trap spot as the Tigers have a really tough schedule down the stretch and don't have 100% attention on this one. Lack of focus in SEC usually results in a loss but the Tigers are good enough to escape with a close win but will NOT be able to cover this point spread. TAKE ARKANSAS
