4 Unit Play. #108 Take BYU Cougars -3.5 over Toledo Rockets (Friday 10:15 pm ESPN 2) When BYU decided to go the independent route in football they have struggled to land home games against Power 5 teams. They have had to play very difficult schedules, and this is a must-win game in order for them to qualify for a bowl game this season. Toledo is 1-6 straight-up in their last 7 games when they travel west of the central time zone. BYU is just a different team in Provo, and they have covered the spread in their last 6 home games. BYU is 53-9 straight-up in their last 62 home games, and their last 8 home wins have come by 30+ points.

4 Unit Play. #148 Take Bowling Green Falcons -2.5 over Eastern Michigan Eagles (Saturday 12 pm ESPN 3) The Falcons are in a major rebuilding mode and have yet to record a victory on the season against an FBS school. But they still have enough to beat Eastern Michigan, one of the worst teams in FBS for their entire existence. Eastern Michigan has won two straight games against bad teams, but they have had no success against Bowling Green, going 1-11 losing by an average of 19 points per game. The Falcons have major problems, but this is a get-well game for them and I expect them to win it by double digits. EMU is 3-29 straight-up in their last 32 conference games.

7 Unit Play. #190 Take NC State Wolfpack -10.5 over Wake Forest Demon Deacons (Saturday 3:30 pm ACC Network) ACC Game of the Year. When the Wolfpack win it tends to come by double digits, and that sets up a nice situation on Saturday afternoon in Raleigh. The last three home games against Wake Forest for NC State have been bloodbaths, with the home team winning by 35,31, & 29 points. NC State is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite. Wake Forest is off of a deceiving victory against Indiana in which they were outgained by 259 yards but were the beneficiary of five turnovers. That good fortune ends this afternoon. NC State is 19-4 ATS in their last 23 games following a bye in their previous week.

4 Unit Play. #214 Take Boise State Broncos -21 over Utah State Aggies (Saturday 10:15 pm ESPN 2) The Mountain West is a battle between two teams for the top spot, and Utah State is not one of those teams. Boise State has traditionally dominated this league and this matchup, going 12-1 against Utah State. That being said, the Broncos were embarrassed last year in Logan, losing 52-26 despite being a 9-point favorite. That loss was solely on the play of the Broncos in giving away the game with 8 turnovers. Utah State has been on a downward trend after reaching the Pinnacle in 2012, going 11-2. They lost to Akron last year in a bowl game (The Zips first-ever bowl win) and they are just 2-2 this season. Coach Matt Wells has messed up the offense with a rotation of numerous quarterbacks over the last couple of years and now looks to Kent Myers, a former wide receiver. He showed some promise earlier in his career, but like most of their quarterbacks he has gotten worse the more he plays and gets coached. The Broncos are back to normal, and they are on a mission to run the table and still have an outside shot at a spot in the college football playoff if San Diego State continues to win games as well. Their game last week against Oregon State was not as close as the final score would indicate, and you can be sure they will not take this game lightly whatsoever. Utah State is 2-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. The last time these two teams met in Boise is was a 50-19 victory for the Broncos, and that was against a more talented Aggies team that what they will see on Saturday.

College Plays:

7-Unit Play. Take #164 Clemson (+2) over Louisville (8 p.m., Saturday, October 1)
This is a perfect spot for Clemson to play a complete game. The Tigers has as high of expectations a team can have heading into the season fresh off the National Championship game loss. They have Deshaun Watson who is as talented as any player they have ever had and were supposed to run through the ACC with little pushback. They have done their part to this point with a 4-0 record but have not looked dominant in the process. Watson has been inconsistent and the defense has lacked focus but good team find a way to win and they have done just that each time they have played so this powerful Louisville team may have its roll stopped this week. The Cardinals are also 4-0 and have a win over Florida State that looked like a misprint. Lamar Jackson and his running mates throttled the Seminoles two weeks ago 63-20 and have looked much the same in all four wins but this Clemson team is primed to play a great game and this week is the week. Clemson has a powerful, veteran defense and they will have to be at their best in this one which they will. Take the Tigers to get the win 40-33.

3-Unit Play. Take #191 Texas A&M (-17.5) over South Carolina (3:30 p.m., Saturday, October 1)
The Aggies appear to be a force to be reckoned with in the SEC as they sit at 4-0 and should move to 5-0 with little trouble this week. The only problem for A&M is the month of October. They have started out they last two seasons undefeated through September only to see their season fall apart when the calander turned to Fall. They have gone 9-0 in the last two opening months and 2-5 in the month to follow and which such little room for error they cannot afford to do that again if they want to get into the playoff. Oklahoma transfer Trevor Knight has found a home with the Aggies and with Treyveon Williams looking like a stud runner they will be tough to stop moving forward. Texas A&M has one of the best front sevens in the country and they should have a field day with freshman QB Brandon Mcllwain so thi sone could get out of hand. Take the Aggies to move to 5-0 with a 45-10 beatdown.

3-Unit Play. Take #184 California (-2) over Utah (6 p.m., Saturday, October 1)
This game has the makings of a Pac-12 shootout. The Utes have struggled defensively and gave up 27 points to a USC team last week that previously looked lost and the Bears score before the ball is even in their hands at times. The player to watch in this one is Cal Bear quarterback Davis Webb. Webb is doing his best Joe Bradley impersonation and leads College Football in passing yards, completions, attempts, and touchdowns and is showing no sign of taking his foot off the gas. The question is whether or not Utah can stay with the high powered ?Bear Raid? offense and while they will certainly hang tight it is hard to imagine them scoring enough points to win. Neither team is stopping anyone right now and the Bears are looking to put on a show for their home crowd so Take Cal to get the win 50-43.

3-Unit Play. Take #109 Stanford (+3.5) over Washington (9 p.m., Friday, Sept. 30)
This is a huge game between two teams in the Top 10. Washington has gotten a lot of hype. But Stanford has been playing in big games like this for years. David Shaw is used to winning these games and I think that the Cardinal will leave Seattle with a win. Stanford won their last trip up here in 2014 and they are 7-1 in the last eight meetigns in this series. Stanford has covered five straight games going back to last year. Washington looks to be a little overrated. They are 0-2 ATS in their last two games and were fortunate to escape Arizona with an overtime win last week. Washington's run defense did not look good last week and I think the Huskies will have a hard time slowing down Stanford's big offensive line and star player Christian McCaffrey. Stanford is 38-16 ATS in its last 54 Pac-12 games and an amazing 52-24 ATS in its last 76 games overall. The Cardinal is the play.

4-Unit Play. Take #162 Michigan (-10) over Wisconsin (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1)
Here is another matchup of two Top 10 teams. But I think that Michigan is a legit national title contender. I don't think that way about Wisconsin. The Badgers are coming off a great win over Michigan State last week. But now they have to travel back to that state to take on the real team in Michigan. The Spartans were in a letdown spot last week after their big win over Notre Dame. Wisconsin caught them. The Badgers' win over LSU early in the year doesn't look that good now that LSU has fallen on hard times. And this is the same Badgers team that barely held on to beat Georgia State 23-17 two weeks ago as a 35-point favorite. Michigan has done nothing but dominate teams. They have won their four games by an average of 52-14 so far this year and they hammered Penn State last week. These two teams haven't met since 2010. But the home team has been the play in this series, winning seven of the last nine meetings and six of the last seven. The home team is 5-1 ATS. Coach Harbaugh just keeps cashing tickets and I will ride this red hot Wolverine team for another win at the window!

8-Unit Play. Take #166 Florida State (-10.5) over North Carolina (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1)
This is my ACC Game of the Year.
I love the Seminoles here. This team has struggled a bit early in the season. But Florida State still has a lot more talent than North Carolina. The Seminoles were ambushed up in Louisville two weeks ago. But they rebounded with a dominating 55-35 win over South Florida last week in a game that was never really close. I think that the Seminoles are going to do the same thing to the Tar Heels this week. This is Florida State's first real home game against a top opponent. Their first game in Tallahassee was against Charleston Southern. They played Ole Miss in Orlando. I think that this Florida State team will get a big boost from the home crowd and the last time that UNC played here was in 2010. North Carolina has really struggled defensively. They are No. 87 in points allowed and No. 90 in total defense. This team is not going to be able to slow down a very potent FSU offense led by Dalvin Cook. Cook hasn't had a real breakout game yet this year. I think that he will on Saturday and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get three touchdowns. FSU is averaging 43 points per game and they have a Top 20 running game. They will go right at the Heels and North Carolina doesn't have the size or depth to hold them back. Florida State's defense is ranked just No. 86 in the country. But this team is much better than that. They have had to face two top offenses in Ole Miss and Louisville. And there is more talent on that side of the ball than UNC has to offer. Florida State is 7-2 ATS in its last nine games and 5-1 ATS in its last six home games. Jimbo Fisher knows that his team has to be perfect the rest of the year if they want to get back into playoff contention. And he knows this team could use some blowouts to get back into the Top 10. I think that Florida State wins this one going away and I have them winning by at least 21 points on Saturday. Take Florida State.

4-Unit Play. Take #183 Utah (+2) over California (6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1)
Utah took care of business at home against USC last week. Cal lost 51-41 to Arizona State. I think the Utes will be able to push California around on both sides of the ball. Cal has given up an average of 43 points per game on defense. They are one of the worst units in the country. The Golden Bears have a Top 5 offense. But Utah excels at holding teams below their season win totals and averages. Utah beat a better Cal team last year and the Utes are 4-1 in the last five meetings. The underdog is 4-2 ATS in the last six meetings and I think that Utah is going to stay undefeated on the season. Utah has won six straight games going back to last year and they are 8-2 in their last 10. Cal already has two losses on the season and I think that they were very fortunate in their win over a better Texas team. That won't be the case here. The wrong team is favored. Play Utah.

3-Unit Play. Take #194 UCLA (-13.5) over Arizona (10:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1)
This Arizona team is beat up and bruised. They have been without starting quarterback Anu Solomon the last three games and could again be without key playmakers Nick Wilson and Shawn Poindexter. Arizona is coming off a disappointing home loss to Washington last week. The Wildcats fell in OT as a 16-point underdog in a game that they thought they had won. Arizona has been outgained by three of the four opponents that they have faced this year, including Grambling. They are just 1-3 ATS and Rich Rodriguez is struggling to get this program back on track. UCLA is off a disappointing loss to Stanford last week. But they have a big advantage being at home for a second week in a row. This is a team that won at BYU, a team that beat Arizona in the first game of the season, and the Bruins have been better against a tougher schedule this year. Josh Rosen is one of the best young quarterbacks in the Pac-12 and he gives the home team a major advantage in this one. The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings and the favorite has dominated this series, going 8-1 ATS. UCLA has won and covered four straight against the Wildcats. The Bruins are 0-6 ATS in their last six games. But that streak is going to be snapped with a win here.

4-Unit Play. Take #202 TCU (+3.5) over Oklahoma (5 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1)
I think that Oklahoma is still overrated. This is a team that was blown out outright to start the year as 10-point favorites against Houston. I think they are going to get upset and be blown out in this trip to Texas too. TCU has revenge for a tough one-point loss last year. They almost won in Norman as 18-point underdogs last year. They scored a touchdown with less than one minute to play. Instead of kicking the extra point to tie they went for two and lost. But TCU won the last time OU came to Dallas and the Horned Frogs are 3-1 ATS in this series since joining the Big 12. All four of those games were decided by a touchdown or less and the last three years this game has been determined by four points or less. The underdog is 6-2 ATS in this series the last eight meetings. I think Oklahoma is still disappointed about their blowout loss to Ohio State at home two weeks ago. This team is 1-2 and their dreams of a national title are gone. This team just isn't as good as the public expected and they are now 1-5 ATS in their last six games going back to last year. TCU is the play here and I expect them to win this one outright.

4-Unit Play. Take #216 Washington State (+2) over Oregon (9:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 1)
This is not the same Oregon program that the public is used to betting on. I do not think that this team deserves to be favored and I think that Washington State could even blow the Ducks out. Oregon is coming off a home loss to Colorado. That is something that would've been unthinkable under Chip Kelly. The Ducks are now 2-2 on the season and they are 0-6 ATS in their last six games going back to last season. Oregon was unimpressive this year in wins over UC-Davis and Virginia. Washington State got off to a slow start to this season. But they had a bye week last week so they have had extra time to prepare for the Ducks offense. Washington State went to Autzen and won last year and I think they will upset the Ducks again here. The Cougars are 6-0 ATS in their last six games against Oregon and Mike Leach has been a great underdog coach throughout his career. Washington State is 5-1 ATS at home against Oregon and I think that Leach will have his team ready to play. The public is on the wrong side in this one. Take the underdog.

Perfect Play--TCU +
Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson has been selling his team on the importance of the Big 12 title since the nonconference loss to the Razorbacks and his message only increased this week. There is also the matter of starting a new home venue winning streak. TCU had won 14 straight at home prior to the Arkansas loss. Oklahoma comes into this contest with the same message but having lost two of their first three games. The Sooners just don't have the ability to score more than their lackluster defense allows. The Sooners have been suspect on defense and are one of seven teams nationally without an interception. Oklahoma is allowing 31.7 points and was drilled for 33 and 45 points in losses to Houston and Ohio State, respectively. The Horned Frogs certainly are proficient on offense again this season -- averaging 42.8 points per game -- and junior quarterback Kenny Hill has led the way. The TCU offense has been firing on all cylinders this season. Horned Frogs QB Kenny Hill and WR John Diarse should have success against a Sooners defense that has struggled making plays. This game will be another nightmare for the boomer-sooner faithful.

Inner Circle--Clemson +
Let's address this from the perspective of the betting world; both public and oddsmakers. The oddsmakers make lines before the season begins. They made Clemson -10 August 1st. On Monday of this week, they opened the betting at Clemson -3. The oddsmakers know quite a bit about line making. Now to the public. They make up their minds based on what the last saw. Two weeks ago they saw Louisville blow out #2 Florida St. Last week against Marshall the public ran up the line from 24 to 30 and were rewarded with a 59-28 one point cover. So the public has gotten on the Cardinals bandwagon again and have given all Clemson backers incredible value as the line is now Clemson +2 points. However, a tidbit of "follow the money" is that 86% of the big money bets from the wise guys are on Clemson on the money line to win outright. Louisville isn’t going to sneak up on anyone the rest of the season, not after how easily it handled FSU. But it was the first portion of the Marshall game that exposed some vulnerabilities – most notably the success of an effective pass rush in slowing the Cards’ offense – and gave Clemson’s defense a better blueprint. Because of all the attention heaped - and rightfully so - on Louisville and Lamar Jackson, Clemson plays the disrespect card. The Tigers’ defense, the best game of Deshaun Watson’s life, and the Tigers’ home field is the difference as Clemson wins a thriller. Deshaun Watson wins a classic quarterback duel. Clemson DC Brent Venables figures out a way to moderately slow Lamar Jackson and Clemson moves forward to the team they played like a year ago. Lastly, it's a given that the wise guys will usually bet the original favorite.

Pinnacle--Georgia + NCAA Shocker of Year
Tennessee travels to play Georgia in their first road game of their season. The Volunteers were getting crushed last week against Florida and then took the game over by scoring 35 consecutive points. The comeback not only snapped an 11-game losing streak against Florida but had the slapping and high-fiving everybody on campus all week long. This game is the two state's recruiting battle. It's usually their most important game and the home team puts a tremendous amount of effort to this contest because they will have many high schoolers there watching. Georgia started the season 3-0 and may have been looking forward to this week as they were destroyed last week at Ole Miss. First year coach Kirby Smart was "smart" to throw that game tape in the garbage and move onward to this huge game. Tennessee has A&M and Bama the next two weeks. This game may find them having a difficult time getting emotionally up especially after the excitement of the past week. A Georgia team at home with something to prove is a team few would want to face. Sony Michel is back and rumbling with 66 yards against Ole Miss, and Nick Chubb should be fine even though he hurt his ankle last week. Considering this is the true comeback game for Chubb – who suffered his knee injury against the Vols last year – it’ll be an emotional moment for team and the crowd. I think they take it to Tennessee from the opening kickoff and it’s close throughout, coming down to a last second field-goal by the Bulldogs. This has been a series that has been decided by one possession each of the past five seasons. Either way, the plus point should insure a solid point spread cover and if that last field goal is good, the Shocker of the Year wins outright.
