SATURDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL SELECTIONS
2-Unit Play. Take #308 Alabama (-40) over Florida Atlantic (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 6)
1-Unit Play. FIRST HALF: Take #308 Alabama (-26) over Florida Atlantic (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 6)
This one is really basic. Florida Atlantic just got absolutely demolished 55-7 by Nebraska last week. Their starting quarterback hurt his shoulder and is 50-50 and on the whole this team just got hammered by a bigger, more physical team. Well, now they are on the road facing an even better opponent in Alabama. The Crimson Tide are coming off a win over West Virginia last weekend. But you know that Nick Saban was PISSED about how they played in that one. He called his defense 'soft' on national television and you know that he spent all week just reaming his players out. I will be stunned if they give up 10 points or more in this game. On the flip side, I do expect the Tide to ring up 50 or more points. Lane Kiffin needs to impress the home crowd with a big offensive display. And Alabama will be working both quarterbacks in this game. So they are going to be going with their No. 1 and No. 2 players on offense for the entire game so they can work on some things. Alabama has demolished better teams than this in recent years and I can only see this one going one way.


2-Unit Play. Take #323 Navy (-3) over Temple (1 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)
Navy should've covered the spread last week against Ohio State. They played way too well not to at least get their backers the cash in that game. I know they are in a savage letdown situation this week against Temple, but the Owls are horrible. Temple is just 7-17 over the last three years and last year this team lost to Fordham and Idaho. Navy is a very experienced team and they have a solid system with good coaching. I think that they will bounce back and I though that this spread should be at least a touchdown. Temple is coming off a blowout win over an SEC team last week. But they needed seven turnovers - SEVEN - to make that happen. Who's ever seen such a thing? Temple is in just as big of a letdown spot so I'll simply go with the better team in this one.


2-Unit Play. Take #338 Utah (-11) over Fresno State (3 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)
It is like the good ol' days for the Utes this week. They are catching Fresno State in a letdown situation after the Bulldogs took a huge swing and miss against USC last week. Now Fresno State has to go back on the road to Mormon Country. This game just reminds me of the decade that Utah spent hammering helpless Mountain West foes that came to Salt Lake City. Coach Kyle Whittingham has had back-to-back losing seasons and he needs something good to happen this season. He can't give away wins. The Utes have a bye waiting for them after this game so they will max out in this contest.


3-Unit Play. Take #344 Kentucky (-12.5) over Ohio (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)
This spread seems like it is inflated, doesn't it? Well, that's because the books can smell an ass-kicking coming here. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops is another guy that needs some good things to happen after a disastrous 2013 season. Kentucky has been in shambles the past two years (4-10) but now the Wildcats have some experience (15 returning starters) and a schedule that is manageable through the first month or so of the season. Yes, Kentucky has Florida on deck. But a team that has won just five of its past 25 games doesn't look past anyone. Ohio is coming off a tight win over in-state rival Kent State. Kent is not a good team at all and Ohio struggled on both sides of the ball. The Bobcats are breaking in a new quarterback, two new running backs, and four of its top five receivers. The defense will try to carry the day for Frank Solich's group. But Kentucky's offense is improving and should have a lot of confidence after last week's clinical showing.


2-Unit Play. Take #350 N.C. State (-17) over Old Dominion (6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)
This is the same Old Dominion team that gave up 80 points to North Carolina, 47 points to Maryland and 52 points to East Carolina last year. These guys can't stop anyone. In fact, they allowed Hampton to score 28 points last week as well. I can see N.C. State getting to 48 in this one and I think the Wolfpack defense will be able to slow down a potent ODU attack. Old Dominion lost its FBS games by 14, 37, 11 and 60 last year and they were probably better on both sides of the ball. N.C. State dodged a massive bullet last week when it almost lost to Georgia Southern. There is no doubt that got this team's attention and they will be much more focused this time around. Again, this line is heavy for a reason and it should result in a big win by the home team. After all, even though the Wolfpack have struggled the last two years they beat Central Michigan 48-14 and Louisiana Tech 40-14 last year. They also beat comparable teams in 2012 by 24, 38 and 31 points. State should open it up in the second half here.


7-Unit Play. Take #352 Oregon (-12) over Michigan State (6:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)
No man ever made a living betting against the Ducks in Autzen. I think Michigan State is overrated. And I think to cover that spread they will have to win this game outright. But I don't see that happening at all. If Sparty loses I think it will be because the game spirals out of control and Oregon unleashes hell on them. Just look at Oregon's scores at home in the first half of the season the past few years. These games are against good teams. Top 25 teams. And the Ducks just absolutely freight-trained them:


2009: No. 6 Cal (+5) loses 42-3
2010: No. 9 Stanford (+6 and with Andrew Luck) loses 52-31
2011: No. 18 Arizona State (+15) loses 41-27
2012: No. 22 Arizona (+21) loses 49-0
2013: No. 12 UCLA (+23) loses 42-14 (this was later in the year, but you get the point)


Oregon's covering three-touchdown spreads against Top 25 teams in these games. There is no glory here for people trying to jump on Michigan State. Michigan State is 2-5 against Top 25 teams the L4Y (with some major duds) and they are just 5-8 in their last 13 games against Top 25 teams. And these are mostly Big Ten Top 25 teams. Not Oregon-level Top 25 teams.


In fact, since the start of the 2010 season the Ducks have gone 47-6 straight up. Of those 47 wins, do you know how many have come by less than two touchdowns? Three. Three teams lost to Oregon by 13 points or less: Oregon State in the Civil War rivalry game last year, USC (by 11) in 2012, and Cal in 2010. That's it. When Oregon beats someone, they absolutely demolish them.


Once again: this line is high for a reason - to bait action on Michigan State. But I like the Ducks to make a statement here and to win this one going away.


5-Unit Play. Take #377 Virginia Tech (+11.5) over Ohio State (8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)
Note: This play is from our KING System and is our Game of the Week.


Unlike the Michigan State-Oregon game, this is one where I don't necessarily think that Virginia Tech has to win outright to cover the number. I can see the Hokies playing the Buckeyes tough in this one. And while I think that Virginia Tech is capable of pulling the outright upset in this one I also think that they can play the Buckeyes tight. The dirty secret about Ohio State the past few years is that they haven't played anyone. And I mean ANYONE. They have only played four games the past two years against teams that finished the season in the Top 25. And even though they won three of those games the wins have come by seven, five and one. There is no way the Buckeyes should've covered the spread against Navy last week and I don't think they'll be so lucky this week against Virginia Tech. The last two big nonconference games that the Buckeyes played were back in 2009 (USC) and 2010 (Miami). They lost at home to the Trojans and they beat a vastly overrated Miami team by just 12. Virginia Tech remembers getting embarrassed by Alabama last year in the opener. But that was a good experience for them. This team is faster and more experienced this season. And I think that they have good karma now that they've gotten rid of Logan Thomas, who was a disaster under center for the Hokies. Virginia Tech has won five of its last six road games outright. And its not like they aren't playing big boy football out in the ACC. In the 00's the Hokies were the Buckeyes: they put up big win totals because of soft schedules. But now I think that Frank Beamer has his team playing with a little bit of desperation. I think the Hokies hang tough in this one and they make the number stick.


2-Unit Play. Take #376 North Carolina (-15) over San Diego State (8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)




1-Unit Play. Take #339 USC (+3) over Stanford (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 6)

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYS
3 Unit Play. #338 Utah -11 over Fresno St (3:00p.m., Saturday, Sept 6 PAC-12)
If the Fresno St Bulldogs struggle again against a PAC-12 opponent this game will be over by halftime. The Bulldogs had no answer against USC last week as the Trojans racked up a total of 701 yards of the Fresno defense. Utah had no problem last week against Idaho St and if you are the Utes Quarterback Travis Wilson just watch the USC game and you will be able to pick apart this Fresno defense. Utah easily wins this home game by two touchdowns. Fresno St is 1-5 ATS against non-conference opponents and the Utes are 8-3 ATS against Mountain West teams.


7 Unit Play. #388 Hawaii +11 over Oregon St (10:30p.m., Saturday, Sept 6 CBSC)
Ok I'm one of those guys who thought Hawaii would play well against Washington last week but I had no idea their defense would play hat well. The Hawaii Warriors defense was outstanding last week granted they lost to the Huskies but only lost by 1-point. The Warriors only gave up 17 points and the Huskies didn't score in the 2nd half. Oregon St comes to the island winning at home against Portland St but at halftime the Beavers were losing 14-13. This is going to be an outstanding game and both teams will be playing hard-hitting football but I believe this game is off by at least 3 points. On paper this is Norm Chow best team since he took over 3 years ago and the players are starting to realize that they are close to having something special. The Hawaii team last week was playing some great team football and you can see the confidence this team has on the sidelines and in the huddle. Last year the Beavers defense allowed 436ypg and that was a big problem and if they can keep he Warriors off the field I don't see them covering this game and this game will come down to the 4th quarter. Trust me Hawaii is a live DOG in this game. Oregon St is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference opponents and the Hawaii Warriors are a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 non-conference opponents. Hawaii is also 4-0 ATS against PAC-12 teams and that includes the cover last Saturday against Washington.


4 Unit Play. #389 Over 64 ½ Texas Tech at UTEP (11:00p.m., Saturday, Sept 6 FOX1)
So we all know about the system at Texas Tech and last week the Red Raider threw up 42 points to Central Arkansas. I still can't believe that Central Arkansas scored 35 points against the Red Raider defense. UTEP was on the road against New Mexico last week and the Miners won on the road 31-24. If New Mexico was able to score 24 points against the UTEP defense then Texas tech should have no trouble racking up quick TD's. Shocked to see this total drop a full point but with both teams struggle in their first game on defense this game will produce tons of points. Texas Tech is 17-5 O/U in their last 22 road games and 9-2 O/U following a game they didn't cover the spread. UTEP is 5-2 O/U in their last 7 non-conference opponents.
