ASA PLAY ON 3* San Diego State Aztecs (+14) over Stanford Cardinal, Friday at 9 ET

As we have mentioned many times before, revenge is certainly an angle that can be over-used and/or improperly used. This certainly appears to be one of those cases. This line is over-inflated because Stanford lost at San Diego State last season. The Cardinal were a TD road favorite and lost by 3 points on a late TD score by the Aztecs. However, the game shouldn't have even been that close as San Diego State held a commanding edge in time of possession and yardage in the game. Now, because Stanford is at home and playing with revenge, the Cardinal are a two TD favorite here. The fact is that Rocky Long's team is a very dangerous underdog and is not being given the respect they should be by the betting markets. Adding to the value here is that the Cardinal have their Pac 12 opener (and also another revenge game) on deck against USC. The Trojans, in fact, handed Stanford their first loss of the year last season and the Cardinal have not forgotten that and can't help but peeking ahead a bit to next week's big showdown. While the Aztecs are not a "power 5" team in terms of their home conference, this is still a true high-quality football program. San Diego has gone to a bowl now in 8 straight seasons (including 7 in a row under coach Long) and Long has a reputation as being a "cash cow" at the betting windows as an underdog. As for Stanford, there are some ugly ATS trends in play here. When playing in non-conference action and installed as a favorite of less than 30 points, the Cardinal are 1-7 ATS. Also, Stanford is 0-7 ATS when when they are a home favorite playing with revenge. The Aztecs went 4-0 in the non-conference last season including wins over this Stanford team and Arizona State. They return their starting QB and their entire offensive line. On the other side of the ball they were the #1 defense in the Mountain West allowing only 314 total YPG and they return 7 of their top 10 tacklers. With that much experience back from a very good team that went 10-3 last year, 2 TD's is too much for Stanford to lay here. Even if the Cardinal do manage to build a sizable lead they absolutely could get caught then looking ahead to the upcoming revenging showdown with USC. However, our prediction is that the Aztecs don't even need the backdoor here as they cover this one from start to finish! Grab the big points with the under-valued road dog in this one in late night Friday action.

FRIDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL SELECTIONS

7-Unit Play. Take #143 Syracuse (-4.5) over Western Michigan (6 p.m., Friday, Aug. 31)
It's kind of now or never for Dino Babers and the Syracuse program. Babers is in the third year of his rebuild - which was a massive job after three ugly years of Scott Shafer. Babers has his players, he has his system set, and he has enough talent to get Syracuse back to a bowl game for the first time since 2013. Syracuse played one of the most difficult schedules in the country last year. They nearly knocked off LSU on the road. They blew leads at Miami and at Florida State. They had another close loss to N.C. State and they actually pulled the upset of the year by beating Clemson. But the loss that may have haunted Syracuse more than any last year was a loss to Middle Tennessee State last September in Week 2. Because of that loss, I think that they will be extra focused for this game at Western Michigan this year because they want to avoid a similar early season slip-up. Syracuse also rebounded from that MTSU game last year to blast MAC foe Central Michigan 41-17. Central Michigan went on to go 6-2 in MAC play - two games ahead of Western Michigan - and come up one game short of the MAC title game. So Central Michigan was one of the better teams in the MAC last year and Syracuse ran through them like they weren't even there. Well, this is an even better Syracuse team this year. And even though they are playing on the road I don't know that they are playing better MAC competition. Western Michigan has three returning defensive starters and their secondary is in tatters. That's a problem against a potentially high-scoring Syracuse offense. And here is the bottom line with SU: when Eric Dungey is healthy the Orange can beat anyone in the country. He's healthy right now. So they will have the best player on the field. The Orange have some position groups that need work. But they have a lot more talent than the Broncos and I think that will play out over 60 minutes. I think WMU may hang around for a little bit. But Syracuse should hit the jets with that offense and eventually pull away. I see this one at 34-23 for the road team.

2-Unit Play. Take #148 Colorado (-7.5) over Colorado State (9:30 p.m., Friday, Aug. 31)
I'm still kicking myself for not taking Hawaii last year. I certainly didn't think that Colorado State would lose outright as a 14-point favorite. But I do know that I don't like this Rams team at all this year. They only have nine starters back. They lost their stud quarterback. They were overrated and overvalued last season, and are even worse this time around. And their coach, Mike Bobo, has been away from the team all preseason while dealing with healthy issues. The Buffs came back to reality last year after their dream 2016. And they only have 10 starters back this season. But they do have their quarterback and they have, on the whole, more talent and more experience. Neither of these teams are anything to right home about. But Colorado State looks like kind of a mess right now and I don't think they will be able to hold on in this one.

5-Unit Play. Take #160 Duke (-13) over Army (7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 31)
This game looks like it has the potential to be an absolute bloodbath. I have been driving the Army bandwagon the last two years. I've been all over the Black Knights. But this team is not nearly as good as what they've been working with the last two years. Star quarterback Ahmad Bradshaw, a three-year starter and one of the school's best all-time players, is gone. Four starting offensive linemen are gone. That's it. That's the option offense right there: the quarterback and the offensive line. And Army is rebuilding at both spot. They only have three starters back on offense altogether. They need some work. And this is a team that doesn't normally line up against Power 5 competition. Duke, hailing from the ACC, has a lot of talent and experience back from last year. They have 15 starters, eight three-year starters, a veteran quarterback and one of the best groups of linebackers in the ACC all back in the fold. Perhaps most importantly, Duke has revenge. The Blue Devils actually lost 21-16 at Army last November. The year before that they only won 13-6 against the Knights. They absolutely aren't going to be taking Army lightly. Beyond that, the Blue Devils have had months - literally months - to prepare for Army's option offense. Forget the fact that they've seen Army the past two seasons, Duke also faces Georgia Tech every year so David Cutcliffe and his staff know how to prepare for this quirky offensive attack. Duke will be ready. The Blue Devils are the better, more experienced team, from the better conference, playing at home, with revenge, and with extra time to prepare. This line is inflated for a reason and it's because I think this game could be a total blowout. I'll call it 37-13 for the home team.
