College football teams struggle to cover the spread before rivalry week
Ashton Grewal

The Ohio State Buckeyes don't bother to cover the spread the week before their annual showdown with Michigan. OSU is 1-4 against the spread the week prior since Urban Meyer took over in 2012.

College football coaches are overpaid and if you don’t believe this statement go take a look at how much money Tennessee has to pay Butch Jones to make him go away. The one time when the compensation might match the required danger pay to deal with soaring stress levels is rivalry week.

A great campaign can quickly be tarnished by a loss to the fan base’s hated rival and a sad season can be saved with a year’s worth of bragging rights over the proper people.
Danny Sheridan went on Paul Finebaum’s radio show on Wednesday and predicted Auburn coach Gus Malzahn would be fired or take the Arkansas job if his Tigers lose to Alabama.

Malzahn won’t be judged the same way if Auburn fails to cover the spread against UL Monroe this weekend, so you can figure him if he’s already looking ahead to the Iron Bowl.
He won’t be alone skipping the calendar. This weekend is the calm before the storm – the week before the biggest game of the year for many football programs.

We did some digging to find out how the teams involved in some of college football’s biggest rivalry games have managed against the spread in their tune-up tilts before the rivalry matchup over the last 10 years.

Alabama Crimson Tide

Rivalry game opponent: Auburn
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 3-6-1

Nick Saban is not above trolling the University of Auburn. He said in September last year that Auburn wasn’t enemy No. 1 for Alabama.

“It was very obvious to me that the Tennessee game was always the biggest game. It was always the biggest game for us,” Saban said on his radio show. “That’s no disrespect to Auburn or the great Iron Bowl rivalry. But to our players and a lot of our fans, the Tennessee game (is always bigger) because of the tradition of the game. It didn’t take long to figure that out.”

It seems like he’s purposely forgetting the 2013 Iron Bowl.

Alabama purposely schedules cupcakes the week before its game against Auburn and it’s no different this year. The Tide play Mercer this weekend and it’s tough to find a spread on the game.

Auburn Tigers

Rivalry game opponent: Alabama
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 5-5

Auburn is coming off a blowout win over Georgia, the previous No. 1 in the college football playoff rankings. The Tigers are 36.5-point home favorites this weekend against UL Monroe and host Alabama next weekend.

The game against UL Monroe is a rare letdown and look-ahead spot for the Tigers. A dreaded double whammy.

Ohio State Buckeyes

Rivalry game opponent: Michigan
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 2-7-1

Power rankings of Urban Meyer’s favorite things to do in life:

1. Prank call Will Muschamp
2. Show strangers on the street pictures of him with Tim Tebow
3. Beating Jim Harbaugh and Michigan

The Buckeyes are 5-0 straight up against the Wolverines since Meyer took over the program but 1-4 ATS in their last game before facing Michigan.

Michigan Wolverines

Rivalry game opponent: Ohio State
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 4-6

Big Blue is consumed with beating the Buckeyes. Harbaugh is a hell of a coach but if Michigan loses to Ohio State for a 13 consecutive year – it could cost him his job. The Wolverines are getting 7.5 points at Wisconsin this weekend and will host Ohio State the following weekend.

Georgia Bulldogs

Rivalry game opponent: Georgia Tech
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 3-7

Mark Richt, the former Georgia head coach and now main man in Miami, was labeled a guy who couldn’t win the big one. He’s won some big ones with Miami this season so it might be fairer to call him the guy who couldn’t cover the little one.

A week after getting its head caved in by Auburn, Georgia is a 21.5-point favorite against the visiting Kentucky Wildcats. UGA will travel to Atlanta to face the Yellow Jackets.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Rivalry game opponent: Georgia
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 6-4

It makes sense that Georgia Tech is one of the few teams on our list with a winning ATS record the week before a rivalry game. Head coach Paul Johnson hasn’t smiled since Bob Hope’s last comedy special on NBC.

The Yellow Jackets game plan never changes regardless of the opponent. Georgia Tech would run the triple option even if it faced a team comprised solely of All-Pro defensive tackles. Oddsmakers list the Yellow Jackets as 6.5-point road chalk against Duke this weekend.

Clemson Tigers

Rivalry game opponent: South Carolina
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 3-7

It seems like only yesterday Clemson was the little college football engine that couldn’t. The Tigers under Tommy Bowden would stumble and bumble their way to an 8-4 or 9-3 season and call it a great year.

But things have changed with Dabo Swinney running the show. He’s got the rep now, but not long ago the big-name coach in the state was located at the other university.

Clemson usually plays an insubstantial ACC opponent or some FCS school the week before its game against South Carolina and that’s the case this year too. The Tigers host The Citadel this weekend.

South Carolina Gamecocks

Rivalry game opponent: Clemson
ATS record in look-ahead spot: 4-6

The Gamecocks used to play Florida the week before Clemson but switched up their sked and have played an FCS opponent for six straight years. This season is no different. USC hosts Wofford this weekend.

NCAAF Game of the Day: Michigan at Wisconsin betting preview and odds

The Michigan Wolverines haven't turned the ball over once since head coach Jim Harbaugh dumped John O'Korn and made Brandon Peters his starting quarterback.

Michigan Wolverines at Wisconsin Badgers (-7.5, 40.5)

Fourth-ranked Wisconsin looks to keep its perfect record intact when it hosts Michigan on Saturday. The Badgers are 10-0 for the first time in program history and are coming off a 38-14 victory over Iowa which clinched the Big Ten West title, but have their eyes on a bigger prize as they strive to take another step towards their first appearance in the College Football Playoff by beating the Wolverines in Madison for the fourth straight time.

Wisconsin is fourth in the CFP rankings and controls its own destiny as it aims to avenge a 14-7 setback to Michigan last season. Michigan has won three consecutive games following a 35-10 triumph against Maryland. The Wolverines still have an outside shot of winning the Big Ten East crown, but need to win their final two games of the regular season and hope that No.11 Penn State and 24th-ranked Michigan State lose another game.

Michigan hasn't turned the ball over since Brandon Peters replaced a struggling John O'Korn in the first half of the 35-14 win against Rutgers and the Wolverines hope their freshman quarterback can lead them to their first road victory against Wisconsin since Nov. 17, 2001.

TV: Noon ET, FOX.

LINE HISTORY: The Wynn sportsbook in Las Vegas opened with Wisky as 9-point chalk but the line has dropped as much as 2 points to Badgers -7. The total is floating between 39.5 and 40.5.

INJURY REPORT:

Michigan - RB Karan Higdon (Questionable, Ankle), WR Kekoa Crawford (Questionable, Undisclosed), DB Lavert Hill (Questionable, Concussion), DE Luiji Vilain (Questionable, Lower Body), TE Nick Eubanks (Questionable, Head), WR Nico Collins (Questionable, Leg) WR Oliver Martin (Questionable, Upper Body), RB Ty Isaac (Undisclosed, Questionable).

Wisconsin - LB Chris Orr (Out, Leg), WR George Rushing (Out, Leg), WR Jazz Peavy (Out, Ankle), TE Luke Benzschawel (Out, Leg), WR Quintez Cephus (Out, Leg), OL Tyler Biadasz (Questionable, Leg).

ABOUT MICHIGAN (8-2 SU, 4-5-1 ATS, 5-4-1 O/U): Chris Evans rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Maryland to give him four scores in his last two games. Peters threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns while Karan Higdon accounted for 98 total yards before sitting out the second half with an ankle injury, but is expected to play on Saturday. Star defensive end Rashan Gary (arm) and cornerbacks Lavert Hill (concussion) and David Long (leg) suffered injuries against the Terrapins but are likely to recover in time to face the Badgers while running back Ty Isaac (head) and offensive lineman Michael Onwenu (leg) are expected to return after missing the last two games.

ABOUT WISCONSIN (10-0 SU, 6-4 ATS, 7-3 O/U): Linebacker Leon Jacobs was named the Big Ten Co-Defensive Player of the Week after registering four tackles, a sack and a defensive touchdown in the win over Iowa while Jonathan Taylor won the freshman honor following his 157-yard rushing performance. Alex Hornibrook finished with 135 yards passing and two touchdowns but threw three interceptions to give him at least one pick in every conference game this season. Troy Fumagalli, who has caught 33 passes for 422 yards and three touchdowns this season, was named one of eight semifinalists for the John Mackey award, which is presented annually to the top tight end in college football.

TRENDS:

*The Wolverines are 1-5-1 ATS vs. teams with winning records.
*The Badgers are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 conference games.
*The over is 10-3 in the Wolverines' last 13 road games.
*The over is 9-2 in the Badgers' last 11 conference games.

CONSENSUS: About 53 percent of contest players like Big Blue to cover as 7-point road dogs against the Badgers.

NCAA-F | UCLA vs USC
Play on: USC -16 -110 at GTBets

10* FREE NCAAF PICK (USC -16)
The ugly loss to Notre Dame has lit a fire under this USC team, as they have since went a perfect 3-0 SU and 3-0 ATS, beating Arizona St on the road 48-17 as a 5-point favorite, Arizona 49-35 as a 7-point home favorite and Colorado 38-24 as a 13.5-point favorite. Even with them laying nearly 3-scores, I think there's some great value with the Trojans in this one.
As you can see from the scores, USC's offense has been racking up the points. They are simply going to have a field day here against UCLA and that horrific defense of theirs. The Bruins simply can't stop the run, as they rank 130th in the country giving up 302.3 ypg on the ground. USC had over 330 yards rushing in both their wins over the Arizona schools and should easily top that mark here.
I know UCLA can score and that offense is the only reason this line isn't bigger, I just don't think they will be able to score enough to keep this within the number. USC's defense isn't great, but it's capable of getting stops. Not to mention I think they are going to come out fired up in their final home game and last tune up before the Pac-12 title game.
Lets also not overlook how bad the Bruins have been on the road, UCLA is just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games and are only scoring 22.8 ppg away from home during this stretch. It's also a plus they won last week, as they are just 1-8 ATS in their last 9 off a conference win. USC on the other hand is 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games off 3 or more consecutive wins. Give me the Trojans -16!

Play on: Iowa State -9½ -110 at 5Dimes

Iowa State has lost a couple games in the last two weeks yet are still in good position this Saturday. Here is how; road favorites of 3.5 to 10 points like the Cyclones, after beating the spread by 49 or more points total in their last seven games, with a winning record on the season, playing a losing team, are 28-6 ATS, 82.4%, the last decade.

NCAA-F | Connecticut vs Boston College
Play on: UNDER 50 -110

Neither of these teams are what you would call high-scoring. Connecticut ranks 94th in scoring at 24.6 points per game. Boston College is even worse rating 104th in scoring at 23.3 points a game. Both teams are using backup quarterbacks. BC quarterback Darius Webb has thrown just two touchdown passes in 109 throws. He's replacing Anthony Brown, who had started 10 straight games for the Eagles, but suffered a season-ending knee injury in the team's 17-14 loss to North Carolina last Saturday. David Pindell is UConn's starting quarterback now replacing Bryant Shirreffs, who had started 29 of the Huskies' last 35 games. Shirreffs suffered a concussion two weeiks ago and no longer is going to play. He is fourth on UConn's all-time passing yardage list. Pindell has yet to prove he is an efficient downfield passer. Making it worse are the probable weather conditions. This game is being played at Fenway Park, which we all know is a baseball field. Look for a slippery, slow track with rain in the forecast and wind. The forecast is for the rain and wind to get heavy before the end of the game. The combination of backup quarterbacks and bad weather should ensure conservative game plans that feature lots of running and short passing, which eat clock. Boston College shut out Connecticut, 30-0, in last year's meeting. The Huskies were held to 121 yards and eight first downs in that defeat.
