CHAD MATTHEWS

6-Unit play. #321 Northern Illinois Huskies -23.5 over the Massachusetts Minutemen (Nov 2 @ 12pm ET)
The Northern Illinois Huskies square off against the lowly Massachusetts Minutemen. The 17th ranked Huskies have been cruising through the MAC this year crushing one opponent after the next. This weekend the Huskies face their lowliest opponent of the season. The Umass Minutemen average a measly ten points a game and is ranked one of the worst offensive teams in the nation. Last season when these two teams met up the Huskies crushed the Minutemen in a blowout 63-0. This season the Huskies have improved in comparison to last season and the Minutemen have only gotten worse. The Huskies are averaging 42 points per game and starting quarterback Jordan Lynch will have his way big time against this disoriented Minutemen team. I would not be surprised if the Huskies covered this by half time. Expect one of the biggest blow outs of the weekend here. This line should be set at -33 ! Take the Huskies and lay that big road chalk at -23.5 here and enjoy the blow out!

2-Unit play. #353 Arizona Wildcats -16 over the California Golden Bears (Nov 2 @ 3:30pm ET)
The Arizona Wildcats head to Berkeley to take on the California Golden Bears in a Pac 12 matchup. The Golden Bears are so plagued by injuries this season I believe they pretty much have thrown in the towel on the season. They are 1-7 against the spread this season and just keep getting rolled over week after week. The Arizona Wildcats come into this game 5-2 against the spread with some confidence after walking all over Colorado last weekend. The Arizona Wildcats just have to much talent for this lowly Cal team to keep up with. I only want to lay 2 units here because there have been a few games Arizona has played on the road that were a little rocky but in the end I expect the same results for the Golden Bears. Lets watch them get rolled over yet again! Take the Wildcats and that road chalk at -16.

3-Unit play. #382 Idaho Vandals +10.5 over the Texas State Bobcats (Nov 2 @ 5pm ET)
The 1-7 Idaho Vandals take on the Texas State Bobcats at home this Saturday. The Vandals even though 1-7 this year have had a tough schedule compared to Texas State. This matchup looks deceiving looking at it as an outsider but when you dig deeper into this matchup Texas State is not that good of a team and they have had the opportunity to play a very easy schedule this season. The Vandals have had a much tougher schedule and when you look at the seven games the Vandals have lost this season they have been too much superior opponents. The Bobcats are playing on the road and are 10.5 point favorites which I believe is way too much chalk being a mediocre team on the road. Expect the Vandals to keep this one close to the end and maybe even outright win it! Take the Vandals and the +10.5 here.

3-Unit play. #369 Auburn Tigers -8 over the Arkansas Razorbacks (Nov 2 @ 6pm ET)
The 11th ranked Auburn Tigers head to Razorback Stadium to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Razorbacks historically have owned this matchup but they will have their hands full with a completely restructured Auburn team than what they have seen in the past. The Tigers starting quarterback Nick Marshall injured his throwing arm last weekend and is questionable for this weekend's game even though there are many sources saying he will get the start. I am keeping this as only a 3-Unit play due to the uncertainty of his status. The Razorbacks have lost five consecutive games and have yet to even win a single game this season in the SEC. Auburn is just much more talented on both sides of the ball and have a lot more options to turn to. Expect the Tigers offense to pound the ball on the ground and wear out this Razorback defense and escape with the cover late in the second half. Take the Tigers and lay the road chalk at -8 here.

SATURDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL SELECTIONS

2-Unit Play. Take #358 Iowa (+9.5) over Wisconsin (Noon, Saturday, Nov. 2)
I think that this one is going to be a Big Ten slosh-fest. The Hawkeyes have improved offensively just enough to give their Top 15 defense a chance. They only lost at Ohio State by 10 and I think the Hawkeyes will take advantage of the home field in this one to make it a very competitive game. I like this Wisconsin team. They know who they are and they play a brutish style of football. But the fact is that outside of a win over Northwestern - who Iowa also beat - Wisconsin has lost to the only two good teams they have faced, Arizona State and Ohio State. They have just beaten up on weaker teams. Iowa is not as good as Wisconsin. But they aren't some patsy that is just going to be pushed around. Two similar styles and this one will come down to turnovers and third down execution. I think Iowa could pull the upset but I'll take the points just in case.

2-Unit Play. Take #396 South Carolina (-11.5) over Mississippi State (12:20 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
The Gamecocks really reinvigorated their season with their improbable comeback at Missouri last week. And they know that even though they are a game back of the Tigers for first place in the SEC East that USC is really in the best position here. Missouri will lose again and the Gamecocks have the tiebreaker. But they can't afford to slip up. The SEC is a mess. It is a top-heavy conference and the bottom tier teams in this league are pathetic. I watched Mississippi State almost throw up a game to Kentucky - who is Sun Belt-caliber - just last week. I think USC has had some distractions and some issues getting everyone on the same page. But I also think last week's win galvanized these guys and has them all rowing in the right direction. They should lay the wood to the Bulldogs, a team they have dominated in recent years.

2-Unit Play. Take #333 Western Kentucky (-18) over Georgia State (1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
Georgia State just isn't a Division I-caliber team right now. They are 0-8 this year with multiple blowouts on the resume. But they have actually gone 5-1 ATS in their last six games. But after a five-game ATS winning streak they came up short last week in a 28-point blowout at UL-Monroe. I still don't think that the lines have fully adjusted to the Panthers, who have been overperforming. Western Kentucky beat SEC's Kentucky and they beat that same UL-Monroe team by 21 on the road. Their offense and defense are both ranked in the Top 30 in the country and this team is furious after letting one get away against Troy last week. They have actually lost two straight and this game against GSU is an opportunity to get a lot of frustration out. I think this one is a blowout for the roadies.

2-Unit Play. Take #353 Arizona (-16) over California (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
I agree that this may be a stupid play. Double-digit road favorites in conference play are never a good long-term bet. But Cal is just a mess right now. They have fringe D-I talent at best. They gave up over 600 yards at Washington last weekend and the Huskies were barely trying. Cal is throwing the kitchen sink at teams - flea flickers, onsides kicks, trick plays, etc. - and they are still getting routed. Their home field edge will be nonexistent and they are facing a veteran Arizona team that proved last week with a win at Colorado that they are capable of handling their business on the road. The favorite is actually 5-3 in this series and there have been a ton of blowouts between them, with six of the last nine meetings decided by two touchdowns or more. I expect a high scoring game - I will be betting the 'over' myself - but in the end I think Arizona will pull away. I can see this one being somewhere around 48-30 in a game that isn't as close as the final score suggests.

2-Unit Play. Take #355 Miami (+22) over Florida State (8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
Note: This is our Pick-A-Play Game.
I get it that Florida State is a juggernaut. But are they going to beat Miami by 30? I don't know about that. Look, I give FSU all kinds of credit for what they did to Clemson. That was one of the most impressive wins by any team in the country this year. But outside of that game the Seminoles have played no one. And before we grant FSU Infallible Status we have to point out that they only beat Boston College by 14 in a game we cashed against the 'Noles. This is a rivalry game. Pure and simple. And the underdog is an amazing 11-0 ATS in the last 11 meetings. In fact, eight of the last 10 meetings have been decided by one score or less. These guys just battle. Miami was a 21-point underdog last year and they were down just three points at halftime. They covered that number easily and I don't think that Hurricanes team was as good as this one. Miami is flakey. The have needed come-from-behind efforts to get several wins this year and they have played down to their competition at times. But they are crafty. They battle. And they have already won one of these in-state rivalry games this year by beating Florida. Miami will not win this game. But I don't think they will get embarrassed either. Al Golden is an excellent underdog coach and the Hurricanes will find a way to lose by 17.

2-Unit Play. Take #341 UTEP (+46) over Texas A&M (9 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
The Miners have lost eight straight games against BCS opponents. But they have done so by "only" an average of 26 points per loss. This spread is nearly double that. A&M can really pick their own score. But I don't think they will. The Aggies have had a really exhausting season so far. From their August drama to several last-minute, nail-biter game, this team has to be a little spent. Now this week they have to step out of conference and try to cover nearly a 50-point line against an out of conference foe? That's asking a lot. I expect Kevin Sumlin to empty his bench early. UTEP has a lot of motivation since most of the kids playing for the Miners are probably angry about not getting recruited to go to a big BCS school like A&M. They will play hard for the full 60 minutes and that's more than I expect from the Aggies. A&M's defense will allow more points than it should and I see A&M taking this one somewhere in the neighborhood of 59-20.

1-Unit Play. Take #387 Tulane (+3.5) over Florida Atlantic (5 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)

1-Unit Play. Take #368 Notre Dame (-15) over Navy (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)

1-Unit Play. Take #369 Auburn (-7.5) over Arkansas (6 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)

2-Unit Play. Take #363 Minnesota (+8.5) over Indiana (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
Note: This is a KING System Play.

2-Unit Play. Take #378 UNLV (+4.5) over San Jose State (4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
Note: This is a KING System Play.

2-Unit Play. Take #389 Oklahoma State (+2.5) over Texas Tech (7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
Note: This is a KING System Play.

Note: This is a KING System Play.

1-Unit Play. Take #351 Georgia (-3) over Florida (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
Note: This is a KING System Play.

1-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #330 Georgia Tech (-3.5) over Pittsburgh (7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2) AND Take #369 Auburn (-0.5) over Arkansas (6 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)

I also have strong leans on Boston College and the 'Over' in the Arizona-California game

College Football Plays

5-Unit Play. #332 Take Syracuse (-3) over Wake Forest (12:30 p.m., Saturday, November 2)
Note: This is our CFB Game of the Week
On paper we have two mediocre ACC teams that haven't really shown much at all this season. But at home I really like the Orange to earn a comfortable victory here. Wake Forest nearly upset Miami in Coral Gables last Saturday. After allowing a TD in the final minute of that game to lose to the 'Canes, I wouldn't be surprised if they are not over that result. Syracuse has been slapped around the last few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if they took it to the Deacons in this one. Wake Forest has lost all three of its road conference games so far and in the Carrier Dome it will be there fourth straight league setback. Go with the 'Cuse minus the small number.

4-Unit Play. #384 Take North Carolina State (+3.5) over North Carolina (12:30 p.m., Saturday, November 2)The
Tar Heels are 2-5. They should not be laying points to anyone on the road in the conference let alone their in-state rivals the Wolfpack. N.C. State have won each of the past three meetings in Raleigh, and I fully expect them to make it a fourth in a row, this time as a home underdog. UNC is 0-3 both SU and ATS on the road so far this season. Where in those losses validates them being favored here? I think this Carolina team has underachieved a lot this season and I wouldn't be surprised if they are coasting and frustrated over the first two months of the year. Take North Carolina State at home.

4-Unit Play. #355 Take Miami (FL) (+22) over Florida State (8 p.m., Saturday, November 2)
I know Florida State has been straight wrecking teams this season, but the law of averages suggests its about time the Seminoles have a setback, or at least struggle in a game. Why not in this one against their arch rivals Miami? The Hurricanes are ranked No. 7 in the country, so to see this high of a spread with two Top Ten teams clashing is a bit of a red flag, I will admit. However I think there is a lot of value on the points and the underdog to come out and play with FSU throughout. I think Stephen Morris can put up the yards and offensive production to help lead Miami to a close game into the fourth quarter and what would be good enough to cover this number in Tallahassee.

4-Unit Play. #389 Take Oklahoma State (+2.5) over Texas Tech (7 p.m., Saturday, November 2)
The Red Raiders were dealt their first loss of the season last week against Oklahoma. I wouldn't be surprised if the other Big 12 team from that state gave them a second 'L' on the year. The Pokes have the offense to mach wits with Texas Tech on the scoreboard. Oklahoma State has won each of the past two meetings in Lubbock, and while Tech is much stronger this year, I think this is a good spot for OSU to continue this trend and win on the Red Raiders' field. Let's grab the small dog here and look for an outright victory by the Cowboys.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

ALLEN EASTMAN

7-Unit Play. Take #389 Oklahoma State (+2.5) over Texas Tech (7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
This is my Big 12 Game of the Year!
I am going with the Cowboys here. This is the more proven program and this is the more experienced team. Texas Tech had been playing great this year. They were undefeated and just outside the Top 10 before going to Norman last week. Oklahoma controlled that game and won 38-30 and I think that the Red Raiders are going to have a letdown in this game. A lot of handicappers call this one a ?bubble burst? game. It means that teams that have their bubble burst with a deflating loss the week before are teams to bet against the next week. Missouri is in a similar situation this week in the SEC. But I like Oklahoma State here because Mike Gundy has the better team in this one. This Cowboys team tripped up in West Virginia. But so did Texas Tech. Tech was able to come from behind and get a win though. But other than that Oklahoma State has played a much tougher schedule and have been more impressive. The Cowboys have dominated this series and are 4-0 SU and ATS in the last four meetings. I think that the wrong team is favored in this game. Texas Tech enjoyed its time in the spotlight. But this was a team picked to finish in the bottom tier of the conference. They had a nice run to start the season but now that they are getting deeper into league play things will go the other way. The sportsbooks don't even have enough respect for Tech to make them a 3-point favorite even though they are ranked higher and playing at home. That tells me all I need to know. Take the points but we won't need them.

3-Unit Play. Take #330 Georgia Tech (-10) over Pittsburgh (7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
This line started at 9.5 and has been bet up over an important threshold of 10. The Yellowjackets are clicking on offense. They rolled up over 500 yards last week and they have scored 35 and 56 points in their last two games. This team had a tough schedule earlier in the season. They lost tough games to Virginia Tech, at Miami and at BYU. But they have turned things around and look like the team that got off to a very hot start. Pittsburgh is 0-9 ATS in its last nine ACC road games. They have only beaten Old Dominion and Virginia in the last month. This team is struggling to adjust to its new league and I think that this one will be another blowout for the home team.

3-Unit Play. Take #338 Kansas State (-16) over Iowa State (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
I am going with the home team here. Iowa State is tired team. They have had the toughest schedule in the conference over the last few weeks. They have played Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor, and Oklahoma State and have lost to all of them. This team is just 1-6 on the year. They know they are not going to a bowl game. This team is ready to give up on this season. They now have a tough road game in one of the toughest places in the league to play. This play is all against Iowa State, which is No. 101 in offense and No. 117 in defense this year. I see another blowout in their future after losing the last two games by a combined score of 129-34.

2-Unit Play. Take #360 Michigan State (-5) over Michigan (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
This line is on the move so be sure to grab it ASAP. These two teams are both very close with their offensive production. But the big edge here is that Michigan State has by far the better defense. The Spartans haven't allowed a 100 yard rusher this year and they should be able to shut down the Wolverines. Michigan State has won four of the last five meetings in this series and they don't feel like they are the Little Brother in this series any more. I am very close to both of these programs and I have a good read on this rivalry. Michigan is just 2-13 ATS as a Big Ten underdog and they are 0-9 ATS as a conference underdog of under a touchdown. Take Sparty here.

2-Unit Play. Take #363 Minnesota (+8.5) over Indiana (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2)
I think that this is too many points for an unproven Indiana team to be laying out. Minnesota has won back-to-back games and have been impressive. They won at Northwestern against a very good Wildcats team and then they blew out Nebraska. Minnesota won both games outright even though they were double-digit underdogs in both. Things are really clicking for the Gophers. Indiana has lost two straight games. They are not unbeatable at home. They lost to Navy at home as a 12-point favorite and lost by 17 points to Missouri at home. Indiana has the No. 121 defense in the country and they are allowing 37 points per game. Minnesota's ground game should get rolling and that will shorten this game. I think this will be a close, back-and-forth game. But I do not see a blowout. I am taking these points and I think that Minnesota could get a third straight win as a 10+ point underdog.

JASON SHARPE

5 Unit Play Take #332 Syracuse -4 over Wake Forest (12:30pm est):
Syracuse comes in off a much needed bye last week after walking into a hornets nest their last game at Georgia Tech. The Orange have had a decent season under first year head coach Scott Shafer as I was very impressed with their win the game before over North Carolina State as they dominated them and did so on the road. First year head coaches usually see their biggest improvements from their team later in their first year and I am expecting that off a bye week here from this Syracuse squad. Also add in the fact this is the only Syracuse home in a six week stretch so they should be completely focused and pumped up for this game.

Wake Forest comes in off a hard fought loss last week at Miami as the Hurricanes were in the classic sandwich spot having played a big Thursday night road game the week before and then going into mighty Florida State this week. The Demon Deacons are known as a solid home underdog under head coach Jim Grobe through the years but they struggle a bit when on the road as we have seen this season again.
Take Syracuse in this game.

3 Unit Play Take #374 South Alabama -3.5 over Arkansas State (7:30pm est):
Big revenge spot for South Alabama here in this one as they come in off a tough loss last week on the road to Texas State. The Jaguars averaged more yards per play in the game last week but were done in by a last second field goal in the loss.

Looks to be a transition year for Arkansas State this season as the Red Wolves have a new head coach. They have really struggled on the road, losing by an average of 25 points per game in their three defeats this season.

The Jaguars look to be further along in their program right now. Take South Alabama minus the points here.

3 Unit Play Take #344 UAB +4 over Middle Tennessee State (1:00pm est):
UAB gets their only home game between October 5th and November 21st here in this one. They have to be a very frustrated team as they had more first downs last week than UTSA but were killed in the turnover department and lost the game. They have also had to face to two tough SEC squads this year as well along with playing a ton of road games.

MTSU pulled off a miracle win last week converting numerous times late in the game to get the upset win over Marshall. This is a program who last year wasn't even invited to a bowl game despite going 8-4 out of the Sun Belt conference. I am not a big fan of this team either and feel they may be a little more lucky than good. Not sure they can handle the role of the road favorite in this one.
Take UAB and the points in this one.

3 Unit Play Take #364 Indiana -8.5 over Minnesota (3:30pm est):
I really like this Indiana Hoosiers team. They just faced two very tough foes in their last two games and both games were on the road and despite being beaten in each, they showed very well in my eyes. They now return home here in what is a huge game for them coming off a much needed bye week. They have had two weeks to prepare and despite playing a tough slate of games versus Michigan. Michigan State, Penn State, Missouri, Bowling Green, Navy and FCS Indiana State, the Hoosiers come into this game averaging 42.4 points per game overall on the season.

Minnesota comes in off of two big wins but they are in a tough spot here in this one. The Gophers have handled all the adversity that they have faced this season thus far with their head coach Jerry Kill and all of his health problems. This is a decent football team but not one that can stay with a big time offense like the one Indiana puts on the field. Have to wonder how much the Gophers have in their tanks for this game here after two draining efforts these last two weeks.
Take Indiana minus the points.

3 Unit Play Take #388 Florida Atlantic -2.5 over Tulane (5:00pm est):
There is no doubt you have to respect the job Tulane has done at 6-2 this season but they have caught a ton of breaks along the way including being outgained in all three home games their last three contests but somehow finding a way to win each one. It hasn't been pretty at times but they have got the job done as they once again won the crucial turnover battle last game and also got to face a Tulsa team who was missing their starting quarterback.

Florida Atlantic has had the opposite happen to them this year as they have not only played a tough schedule thus far but they have also dropped three close games that they probably should have won. The Owls outgained Marshall, Rice and MTSU but were just beaten in three very tight losses earlier this year. They were blitzed last week at Auburn against an improving SEC team. Now add in the ordeal they had with losing their coach this past week and they should come in here focused for this game especially with this being homecoming week and having a bye week next game as well.
Take Florida Atlantic minus the points here.

3 Unit Play Take #370 Arkansas +8 over Auburn (6:00m est):
In the buy low-sell high world of sports betting this is about as extreme as its gets for these two teams. In fact if this game were played a few weeks ago you would probably be looking at Auburn no more than -3 in this game and maybe even lower than that.

The Tigers caught Texas A&M off their tough hard fought win over Ole Miss and also beat Ole Miss the week after Ole Miss was beaten by Alabama. They caught those two tough games at the exact right time in their schedules.

Arkansas went through as rough of a stretch as any team in the entire country playing Texas A&M, Florida, South Carolina and finishing up with Alabama in a four week stretch. The Razorbacks came through that stretch beaten but have now had a big week off to catch their breaths and still could do some damage this season. With two weeks to prepare I look for them to play one of their best games of the year here at home in this one.
Take Arkansas and the points.

3 Unit Play Take #377 San Jose State -4 over UNLV (4:00pm est):
UNLV comes in off a huge win over in-state rival Nevada last weekend. We played UNLV in that game but that play had more to do with the fact I felt Nevada is an overrated team. The Rebels have somehow managed to win four of their last five games but none of those wins have come against what I would consider even a decent football team.

San Jose State started the season off just 1-3 but that was more because of the extremely difficult schedule they had to face early on. Now that things have gotten easier we are seeing the SJSU team that I expected to see this year, a high flying offense led by NFL quarterback prospect David Fales. The Spartans have not only won three straight games but done so in impressive fashion by averaging over 40 points per game along the way.

SJSU is a couple levels better than UNLV right now and they shouldn't have any problems laying this low of a number here against them. Take San Jose State minus the points in this game.

3 Unit Play. #330 Take Georgia Tech -10 over Pittsburgh (7:00p.m., Saturday, Nov 2 ESPNU)
So Pittsburgh will be facing their 2-straight option offense and since last week Navy picked up the victory over the Panthers what will the Yellow Jackets do Saturday night. I'm not saying that the Yellow Jackets option offense is better then Navy's but Georgia Tech's defense is much better then Navy's. The Yellow Jackets last home game they beat Syracuse 56-0 and I don't see Georgia Tech getting another goose egg but their defense will be the key to another double-digit home victory. I also like the Yellow Jackets here because Pitt might be looking at their home game next week against Notre Dame. Georgia Tech has also covered 3 out of their last 4 home games.

5 Unit Play. #369 Take Over 54 ½ - Auburn at Arkansas (6:00p.m., Saturday, Nov 2 ESPN2)
So two weeks ago we had our 3-Unit over play in Alabama/Arkansas game and we needed a late touchdown from Bama to cash that ticket. Arkansas defense has been pretty bad in their last 2 games giving up 104 points in 2-games (average 52ppg). The Razorbacks last 5 games their defense has given up an average of 41.4ppg. Auburn on the other hand has been a scoring machine averaging 40.6ppg but they also have a questionable defense as Texas A&M scored 41 points and LSU scored 35 points. Should be a scoring feast in this matchup and I'm shocked to see this total not move to 56 or higher. Auburn last 2 road games have easily gone over the total and Arkansas will be looking to erase their goose egg they offense laid against Alabama. The Razorbacks last 5 games as an underdog the over has cashed 4 of them.

3 Unit Play. #389 Take Oklahoma St +2 ½ over Texas Tech (7:00p.m., Saturday, Nov 2 FOX)

4 Unit Play. #54/#330 Take Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets -10 over Pittsburgh Panthers (Saturday 7 p.m. ESPN U) The Yellow Jackets have been rolling of late, coming off back-to-back impressive victories, both by double digits. Georgia Tech is coming off a 10-point victory at Virginia despite turning the football over 5 times. Pittsburgh is coming off a tough beat against Navy, a team that is a poor man's version of what they will see from Georgia Tech. This game will be a tough spot for Pittsburgh as they have Notre Dame at home on deck, a team that they should have beaten last year and ended the BCS Championship Game hopes of the Irish. Pittsburgh may have an edge seeing a triple option team for the second straight week. However, Georgia Tech has much better athletes on defense than does Navy, and despite that they still could only muster 21 points on the Midshipman. The Yellow Jackets are allowing under 20 points per game. Georgia Tech 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Pittsburgh is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.

4 Unit Play. #82/#346 Take Tulsa Golden Hurricanes -3 over UTSA Road Runners (Saturday 3:30 pm CSS) We got a little snakebitten last week using Tulsa as a selection as starting QB Cody Green did not play, and his back-up, QB Dane Evans, proved incompetent throwing three interceptions against Tulane. That was a game Tulsa lost 14-7 but had no business losing, and expect them to right the ship in a big way at home against UTSA. QB Cody Green is listed as probable for this game, and he will get this offense back on track. QB Green was 14 for 17 with two touchdowns the last time he took the field. Tulsa is 19-8 ATS in their last 27 Conference USA games. This is two bad teams but Tulsa has been a traditional powerhouse in Conference USA and pride will lead them to a victory on Saturday.

6 Unit Play. #19/#359 Take Michigan Wolverines +6 over Michigan State Spartans (Saturday 3:30 pm ABC)
Top College Football Play of the Weekend.
To me this game is a carbon copy of our top selection in college football last week: Texas @ TCU. Texas is Big Brother, and so is Michigan. TCU has a great defense as does Michigan State, and both teams have a shaky offense. Michigan, like Texas, has shown flashes of greatness at times but also looked lethargic at other times.
But to me this game comes down to Michigan having better players 1-75 as a whole. Michigan State dominated Illinois last week, and because of that game this spread just 3 points. Does beating Illinois deserve that much movement? Michigan State does not have a dynamic offense, and they rely a great deal on their defense and field position in order to score points. This will be the best offense that Michigan State has faced all season, and one must remember that Indiana had this Michigan State defense on the ropes early and could have put them down big but missed a golden opportunity in that game.

As for Michigan, it is important that they do not turn over the football and give the Spartans a short field. Michigan is coming off a bye week, and this is a perfect setup for them. QB Devin Gardner has got his confidence back, throwing 6 touchdowns in his last 3 games, and he also has 4 rushing touchdowns during this span. He has the ability to escape the pocket, and that will be essential against this strong Michigan State defense. Michigan State wins by defense, and thus I am always weary of taking them as a favorite against a good team (no, Illinois does not count as a good team). Michigan State is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. Take Big Brother and the points!

4 Unit Play. #56/#363 Take Minnesota Golden Gophers +10 over Indiana Hoosiers (Saturday 3:30 pm BTN) For whatever reason, Coach Jerry Kill's leave of absence has inspired this Gophers squad, and they are coming off their best two performances of the season. They dominated Nebraska last week and won at Northwestern two weeks ago. They are doing a great job of shortening the game by running the football and stopping the run on defense. Indiana has a strong passing attack, but if Minnesota can run the football against this suspect defense they will be able to control the time of possession and keep Indiana off the field. Minnesota is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against teams with a losing record. Indiana is just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Big Ten teams.

4 Unit Play. #27/#369 Take Auburn Tigers -7.5 over Arkansas Razorbacks (Saturday 6 pm ESPN 2) I still believe that Auburn is under-ranked as they should be in the Top 10 but started the season unranked and thus have had to climb their way up the ladder. They are 7-1 on the season, with their only loss coming against LSU. Arkansas has fallen apart this season after starting the year off with three victories at home against cupcakes. Bret Bielema is a bumbling idiot that does not have the players to fit his system. He is not going to get it turned around this year, and the only chance he has is to recruit players that fit his system. What makes me believe that Auburn will not have any issues covering this number is that these two coaches do not like one another as Coach Gus Malzahn has ties to Arkansas (coached at Arkansas State last year) and has been trading barbs with Coach Bielema all year long (Bielema accused him this week of doctoring game film). Both coaches will try and run up the score, and to me that gives a pass-happy Auburn offense the best chance for success. Auburn is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against teams with a losing record. Arkansas is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games against teams with a winning record.

4 Unit Play. #86/#398 Take Colorado State Rams +7 over Boise State Broncos (Saturday 8 pm CBS Sports Network) Never like to go against a team we used as a selection last week, but to me Boise State is lost without Joe Southwick at quarterback. I overvalued back-up QB Grant Hedrick as he played terrible, and I do not see him getting better considering the Broncos are on the road for the second straight week. I believe that the entire Boise State offense has no confidence in him, and thus this will be a struggle for sixty minutes. Colorado State QB Garrett Grayson left the last game but he is probable for tonight. Boise State is 5-13 ATS in their last 18 MWC games. Colorado State has visions of going to a bowl game but needs this victory at home in order to achieve that. Colorado State is 6-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.
