There has been a lot of talk about Ducks QB Justin Herbert, but the Beavers' Jake Luton has quietly put together a fantastic senior season. I also like what Oregon State brings to the table in the running game. It should be a back-and-forth affair, and Oregon State needs the win to become bowl eligible, so look for the Beavers to pull out all the stops.

It will be all about stopping the run for the Warhawks. The Ragin' Cajuns have the best running game in college football and have been very consistent. The Louisiana-Monroe run defense has been consistently poor. Look for the Cajuns to win big in the Battle on the Bayou.

This is one of my favorite rivalries in college football, and even if it isn't as flashy as in years past, there is a lot to be interested in. The tailbacks lead the way in FSU’s Cam Akers, and Florida's Lamical Perine. With the running games being the focus, I can see this one being a close contest.

Right now, Clemson is playing as good as anyone in the country as it meets a struggling South Carolina squad.

GEORGIA @ GEORGIA TECH | 11/30 | 12:00 PM EST
You can’t help but perk up at seeing such a large spread in an in-state rivalry matchup. To be sure, Georgia is a monument to greatness, and Tech is rebuilding. But the Bulldogs have not exceeded 27 points in the past six outings, and under-performing QB Jake Fromm will miss his favored target, WR Lawrence Cager (ankle). The Bulldogs will call off the dogs after building a safe lead and turn their attention to a much bigger game in Atlanta next week: the SEC Championship. Take Tech.

GEORGIA @ GEORGIA TECH | 11/30 | 12:00 PM EST
This might normally seem a like a potential flat spot for the Bulldogs ahead of their meeting with LSU in the SEC title game. But they have plenty of motivation to put on a strong dress rehearsal against Georgia Tech. They can work on refining an inconsistent offense that must be efficient in order to beat the Tigers. There's also a strong chance that their rugged defense will hold Georgia Tech out of the end zone. if this is the case, it's difficult to imagine the Yellow Jackets sticking within the sizable number.

Saturday card has a powerful 4 game College Football pack with an Exclusive TIER 1 Play and 2 Perfect last season systems. We also have NCAAB and a Platinum supreme in hoops. Football comp Play below.
The College Football comp play is on Tulane plus the 3-4 points at 4:00 eastern. Tulane fits a solid 18-4 system that is actually 5-0 in week 14 or later. The Green Wave has covered 9 of 10 on Turf, the last 4 off a loss and 6 of 8 after allowing 280+ pass yards. SMU is having a solid season but has failed to cover 16 of 21 in November games and 5 of 6 off a spread loss. The home team in this series is a lousy 2-11 to the spread and the Dog has covered 7 of 10 so we will ride the green wave and the points here. On Saturday we have another big Football card with an Executive Level TIER 1 Play, and 3 More bigs 2 of which have perfect systems. In hoops we have a Platinum Supreme and NBA. See us on facebook to jump on. For the free play. Take Tulane and the points. RV- GC Sports

Let’s not assume Utah will aspire to run up the score to impress the playoff committee. The Utes are locked into the Pac-12 title game next week and might be inclined to ease off the gas once a victory is in hand. A win might not come easy, anyway. The Buffaloes have permitted 27 points total in the past two weeks and can secure bowl eligibility with a win, having overcome a five-game losing streak earlier this season. The underdog in this series usually prevails ATS. Colorado covers.

Records of 7-4 are not always created equal. Iowa State stacks up as superior in too many areas, notably in passing offense (Cyclones first, Wildcats worst in the Big 12) and rushing defense (first versus eighth). Iowa State QB Brock Purdy, the nation’s No. 4 passer, is a gem who gets lost in the Heisman Trophy talk. Take Iowa State.

SMU’s defense got knocked around last Saturday by Navy’s triple-option attack. The Mustangs figure to do better against a similarly styled attack. The Green Wave have fallen in four of five as two key running backs cope with injuries. SMU is 5-0 at home, scoring a minimum of 43 points in those games. Its top 10 offense should pile up enough points to more than offset any defensive inefficiencies. Take the Mustangs.

The stunning loss to FIU should get Miami refocused for a foe on its level. The disparity in defense — Miami is second in points allowed during ACC games, eight slots above Duke — is too vast to ignore. Many Blue Devils teams under coach David Cutcliffe overachieve, but not this one. The Hurricanes are concerned about the absence of RB DeeJay Dallas, and he could be joined by WR Jeff Thomas. But enough depth is available to step up. The Canes cover.

WISCONSIN @ MINNESOTA | 11/30 | 3:30 PM EST

This matchup was pointing toward a moderate score before the weather forecast (rain or snow, with gusty winds) affirmed it. Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor will not find the holes to which he is accustomed. The teams rank third (Badgers) and fourth (Gophers) in the Big Ten in total defense. Only Rutgers has thrown fewer passes than this pair, so it’s ground game versus ground game in conditions that will discourage passing. Take the Under.

Though it’s a rivalry event, injury-ravaged Purdue might be less motivated than its guests. The Boilermakers have been edited out of the bowl picture. Indiana has clinched an invitation and will be eager to knock off the team that denied it postseason play with season-ending wins the past two years. QB Peyton Ramsey has settled in for the Hoosiers after replacing the injured Michael Penix Jr., while Purdue is down to its No. 3 QB, a walk-on.

The visitors will not be distracted by the island charms. At less exotic locales, Army has covered in seven of the last nine away. The spreads for Hawaii’s home games are often out of whack, as suggested by its one-out-of-three cover rate the past several years. The Black Knights must win to stay in bowl contention, while the Rainbows could be distracted by next week’s first MWC Championship Game gig. Lastly, Hawaii defends poorly against the run. Take Army.

Coach Bob Davie’s farewell game at New Mexico should go badly. The Lobos have dug deep into their depth chart for a quarterback after several have bowed out this season. Recent starter Tevaka Tuioti (hamstring) is questionable. Top running back Ahmani Davis (knee) hasn’t appeared in awhile. New Mexico has covered in three of the past 13 games. It has dropped eight in a row straight-up and seems ready to move on to Davie’s replacement. Take the Aggies.

Auburn has soldiered through a brutal schedule against five ranked teams (at the time) and has yet to hit an Over in any. Each game wound up south of 50 points. Though Tigers QB Bo Nix has performed admirably, let’s not forget he is a true freshman. Alabama sends out backup QB Mac Jones in lieu of the injured Tua Tagovailoa (hip). Auburn held explosive LSU to 23 points and Georgia to 21. Take the Under.

These teams tend to engage in shootouts against each other and both should be motivated to get things going Saturday.

Offensive execution should be there for bth clubs against what looks like a light total.

And he uses all the resources he's compiled over the years. Marzano believes in patience and doesn’t play games every day or just because he’s up or down or on a streak. He likes run lines, puck lines and isn’t afraid of a two- or three-game parlay. Marzano excels in every major sport and absolutely dominates the NHL.

Temple lost a tough game last week to Cincinnati and has dropped three of its last five games. But this is a very favorable matchup for the Owls. The Huskies are horrible on both sides of the ball, and I don't think they are going to have any success moving the ball against an Owls team that needs this win. The Huskies are just 2-11 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Look for a beatdown like last year's 57-7 thumping. Take Temple.

The Aggies have four losses on the season, however, this will be the third No. 1 team in the nation they have faced this year. LSU already has a spot in the SEC Championship Game, and this is a very game A&M team that won an epic meeting last year, 74-72, in seven overtimes. The Aggies had chances last week against Georgia despite -2 yards rushing. They are 0-8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings, but I think they will find a way to keep this one respectable. Take Texas A&M.

This is a very important game for the Bears, who are tied for first in the Big 12 with the Sooners, have a date in the Championship Game and still have an outside shot at even bigger things with a couple wins and some help. Baylor has won nine straight meetings and is 7-0 ATS in the last seven. The Jayhawks have lost seven of their eight conference games and haven't won two Big 12 games in a season since 2008. The Bears have been terrific defensively, and starting QB Charlie Brewer should be a go. Take Baylor.
