EZWINNERS

4 STAR SELECTION – (166) Syracuse Orange +9.5

(Risking $440 to win $400)
I think there is a lot of value in this line. Notre Dame appears to be a dominate team, but the Irish have many flaws. Quarterback Everett Golson is very good, but his offensive supporting cast is average at best. The Irish don’t have a dominate running back and their receive corps are thin. The Irish have beaten three bad teams to open up the season with wins over Rice, Michigan and Purdue, but last week even the Boilermakers exposed some weaknesses in this Irish team. Syracuse comes into this game off of a loss to Maryland, but it was one of those misleading losses as the Orange were actually the team that dominated the stats. Syracuse has a good quarterback in Terrel Hunt and they have a very solid, veteran offensive line that does an excellent job of protecting the quarterback. Notre Dame has a big game with Stanford up next week while the Irish will have Syracuse’s full attention. Take the points.

3 STAR SELECTION – (122) Wisconsin Badgers -34

(Risking $330 to win $300)
The Badgers rushing attack is going to be way too much for South Florida to handle. Wisconsin rolled up an amazing 644 yards last week against Bowling Green and while I don’t expect them to put up those kind of number they will wear this Bulls defense out by the end of the game. South Florida’s offense is very bad. Quarterback Mike White is completing less than 40% of his passes and the Bulls only average 17 points per game. The Wisconsin defense has also held all three of its opponents to season low yardage totals this year so things won’t get any easier this week for the Bulls. South Florida’s inability to sustain drives will doom their defense against the physical Wisconsin rushing attack. Lay the wood with the Badgers.

2 STAR SELECTION – (116) Michigan Wolverines -13

(Risking $220 to win $200)
Michigan is coming off of an embarrassing home loss to Utah last week, but I think Minnesota is the perfect opponent this week to get that bad taste out of their mouth. The Gophers starting quarterback Mitch Leidner hasn’t been able to do much this week in practice with his injuries which means that backup Chris Streveler will most likely be under center. The Gophers only attempted one pass last week with Streveler in the game and they will want to rely heavily on the running game this week which plays right into the strength of the Michigan defense. The Wolverines have struggled on the offensive side of the ball, but I expect a much better effort this week after a three point performance against Utah last Saturday. Lay the points.

NEWSLETTER College Football Prediction From Doc’s Sports

Take #157 TCU (-31.5) over SMU (Noon, Saturday, Sept. 27)
Do not miss Doc’s Sports weekend football card, and this week it will be highlighted by our 7-Unit College Football Game of the Year on Saturday. You can purchase this game right here, right now, and let 43 years of handicapping experience work for you. SMU is in a total freefall this season, with their coach and quarterback gone and teams are pretty much just naming their score against them. SMU is 0-3 on the season, and all three of those games fells over today’s posted spread. TCU has already beaten two teams badly this season, and their offense should have no problem scoring points in this game. We all know that TCU has a rock-solid defense, and thus you can expect a 49-10 type of score in this affair. SMU is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 nonconference games.

NEWSLETTER College Football Prediction From Allen Eastman

Take #166 Syracuse (+10) over Notre Dame (8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 27)
I am coming off one of my best weeks in nearly 30 years of gambling! I went 10-2 and picked up over $3,000 in profit last weekend, and I am looking forward to my first NFL 411 System plays of the year this weekend. This system has hit over 60 percent for nearly $20,000 in profit the last six years, and I will have a 7-Unit Play right out of the gate on Sunday. Before we get to that I want to cash in with the Orange on Saturday. This game is being played in MetLife Stadium, and I think Syracuse will have the crowd advantage over Notre Dame. The Orange played USC tough down here a few years ago, and I think they will put a scare into the Irish. The Orange are 5-0 ATS in their last five neutral-site games and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 nonconference games. Notre Dame is currently a Top 10 team. But I don’t know if they have earned that ranking. This is their first game outside South Bend, and they are just 1-6 ATS when they play on turf. The Fighting Irish have a bigger game with Stanford next week. I think they look past the Orange and Syracuse makes this number pay out. Take the points in this game.

Game of the Day: Missouri at South Carolina

Missouri Tigers at South Carolina Gamecocks (-5, 62.5)

Despite putting itself in a hole on the opening night of the season, No. 15 South Carolina is now in position to put the pressure on the rest of the SEC East. The Gamecocks will be halfway through their conference slate after Saturday’s visit from Missouri, and another win against a division rival would be a major advantage. The Tigers are aiming for their seventh straight road win while South Carolina has won 20 of its last 21 at home.

Neither team looked like a title contender a week ago, as the Gamecocks struggled before pulling away for a 48-34 win at Vanderbilt and the Tigers gave up a late touchdown in a 31-27 home loss to Indiana. “We’re still in the hunt for whatever we’re in the hunt for, but obviously we need to concern ourselves with playing the game at a lot better level than we’ve been playing,” South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier told reporters. The Gamecocks handed the Tigers their only regular-season blemish a year ago, storming back from a 17-0 fourth-quarter deficit for a 27-24 overtime victory at Missouri.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: South Carolina -5.5.

LINE HISTORY: The opening spread saw South Carolina -6, but has been steadily on the decline down to -5 on Friday. The toal has adjusted slightly after opening at 63, it now sits at 62.5.

INJURY REPORT: Mizzou – DL Markus Golden (Prob-Hamstring), RB Morgan Steward (Ques-Hip) South Carolina – TE Kevin Crosby (Ques-Foot), C Cody Waldrop (Out-Knee)

WEATHER REPORT: Projected temperatures are 25° and upwards of 30° with the humidity. There skies will be cloudy will sparse sun, but wind or rain should not impact play on the field.

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: “Missouri was finally exposed last week when they lost 31-27 at home as 14-point favorites against Indiana. The Tigers got off to an unexpected hot start this season (3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS), but after last week’s loss we may see Missouri under perform now going forward. QB Maty Mauk is good (14/4 TD/INT ratio), but he can’t carry the offense every week, especially in conference play. South Carolina has not played as good as projected. The Gamecocks have played a tough early schedule with the likes of Texas A&M, East Carolina and Georgia, but last week’s struggle at a terrible Vanderbilt team is concerning. South Carolina upset Missouri in Columbia last season as 3-point underdogs in overtime after trailing 17-0 going into the fourth quarter.” – Steve Merril

ABOUT MISSOURI (3-1, 0-0 SEC): The Tigers have hardly missed a beat on offense with Maty Mauk under center, as the sophomore has racked up 978 yards and 14 TDs through the air and added 115 yards and a score on the ground. Defensive end Shane Ray has been a disruptive force, ranking tied for second in the nation with 2.4 tackles for loss per game and tied for third with 1.5 sacks per contest, and he will need to continue that production against a strong Gamecocks offense. The Tigers were without the other bookend, defensive end Markus Golden, against Indiana because of a hamstring injury, but he is expected to play this week.

ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA (3-1, 2-1): As usual, Spurrier’s squad boasts a potent, balanced offense that has put up 36.8 points per contest and topped 430 total yards in each game. Quarterback Dylan Thompson has thrown for 1,140 yards with 11 TDs and three interceptions and the passing game has picked up some of the slack while waiting for running back Mike Davis (264 yards, 2 TDs) to break out. The defense continues to be cause for concern, as the Gamecocks allowed a whopping 34 points to a punchless Vanderbilt offense and have surrendered 480 total yards and 36 points per game.

TRENDS:

*Tigers are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games following a ATS loss.
*Gamecocks are 6-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
*Over is 8-1 in Tigers last 9 road games.
*Over is 11-4 in Gamecocks last 15 conference games.

CONSENSUS: 59.02 percent are taking the Gamecocks -5 with 58.9 percent taking the over.
