Game: UTEP Miners @ W. Kentucky Hilltoppers
Time: Saturday 11/08 4:00 PM Eastern
Pick: UTEP +8 (-105) at 5dimes
Western Kentucky has some issues. Their last four games have not been pretty as they have managed just a single win vs. Old Dominion. Old Dominion has allowed 41 points or more in six straight games, and Western Kentucky needed most of the 66 points they scored in that one to get the win 66-51. This is a team that has given up 500 yards or more in each of their last four games, and have allowed just shy of 50 ppg. There comes a point in time when you have to stop someone but the Hilltoppers just haven't been able to do it. Last week their offense couldn't get it going and they went down 59-10. UTEP has made great strides and have won three straight games, and in the process they have out-scored their opponents 111-49. The take here is they obviously can score, and will score a lot against Western Kentucky, but they have also allowed just 16.3 ppg in their last three so they certainly have a shot at getting a few more stops here. The Hilltoppers are just 1-6 ATS after allowing 280 passing yards in their previous game, which has become the norm, allowing over an average of 350 yards per game in their last four. Play the points on UTEP.

I'm not playing anything on Thursday or Friday. Thursday night I would lean towards laying the points with the Bengals in the NFL, but I'm not feeling it right now and don't want to force any plays. Two plays for Saturday's college football.

4* (125) Michigan Wolverines -1
Michigan head coach Brady Hoke's job is on life support and this week's opponent should allow Hoke to hand on to his job for at least one more week. This game is critical as Michigan must win two out of their last three games to become bowl eligable and their last game of the season is at Ohio State. The Wolverines should also have some confidence coming into this game after last week's 34-10 win against Indiana. Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner threw for two touchdowns and he got help from running back Drake Johnson who rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns himself as the Wolverine defeated the Hoosiers for the 19th straight time. Michigan has also dominated this Northwestern team winning thirty out of the last thirty four meetings. Michigan has a top ten defense and they should feast on the struggling Wildcat offense that is 90th in the nation in passing yards, 107th in rushing yards and just 116th in points scored. Lay this short number with the Wolverines.
3* (195) Kansas State Wildcats +7 (-$120)
Just like Ole Miss and Auburn last week, this matchup is most likely an elimation game for the national championship. TCU is the team in the Big XII that is getting all of the attention, while Kansas State has been flying under the radar. The Wildcats only loss came against Auburn in a game that K-State could have easily won. The Wildcats were not out classed by Auburn in any way and I think they match up well with TCU. Last week was the first time this season that the Frogs did not cover the Vegas spread. TCU is coming off of an emotional win as they needed five West Virginia turnovers to escape Morgantown last week with a one point win in a game that they trailed all the way. The Frogs could have a hard time starting this game with the same intensity after that big win and they are laying signigicant points against a very good team. Kansas State knows how to play on the road. The Wildcats have already beat Oklahoma in Norman this season and since 2010 head coach Bill Snyder's K-State team is 11-1 against the spread as a road underdog. Take the points.
