NCAA-F | Oregon vs Ohio State
Play on: OVER 63½ -110

Sean's FREE PICK for Saturday will be on the OVER between Oregon and Ohio State. Last week we faded both of these guys and came away with a win and a push. Feel both teams, especially Oregon were playing a little look-ahead. Sluggish starts for both squads last week for sure. I think we see a track meet here. We know that both defenses can give up some points. These teams are built offense first. OSU looks like they have a monster behind center with the WRs they have chasing down the ball. Will not be shocked if Buckeyes near 50 this afternoon. Oregon should be able to cross the 30 point barrier today. It will be a High Noon Shootout at The Horseshoe. Go OVER THE TOTAL in early action today - GL - Higgs . -- Be sure to check out my NFL Best Bet and Sure Shot going Sunday afternoon.

NCAA-F | Florida vs South Florida
Play on: Florida -28½ -110 at linepros

I'm not one that generally lays the big price with teams but for this case I think you have to. First, I know that others will be saying that Florida has Bama on deck and just go through the motions etc. While I get that, I dont think people truly know how bad this South Florida team is. I had NC St last week laying 18 against them and they covered no problem as they won 45-0. This USF team is just flat out horrible and I dont know how they will be able to move the ball. I fully expect Florida to jump out in the 1st quarter to like 21-0 and even their backups in the 2nd half will be more than capable to still score. Lay the big against pathetic team.

NCAA-F | Toledo vs Notre Dame
Play on: Toledo +17 -110 at Mirage

This game is fraught with danger for Notre Dame. Toledo is an underrated team with skill position depth and a solid defensive front that should hold up at the line of scrimmage against an inexperienced Notre Dame offensive line trying to anchor a disappointing ground attack. The Irish not only have to deal with these matchup factors, but also are in a terrible scheduling spot. While Toledo had a relaxing 49-10 win against Norfolk State this past Saturday, Notre Dame had to hold off Florida State, 41-38, in overtime on the road this past Sunday night. So, the Irish - who have a cluster injury problem at linebacker - have to play on a short week laying a boatload of points. Toledo's Bryant Koback is one of the top running backs in the MAC. Notre Dame surrendered 264 yards rushing to Florida State. The Seminoles averaged 5.5 yards a carry. It was clear Notre Dame was missing Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, its dominant defender from a year ago who is now on the Cleveland Browns. The Irish have lost three linebackers to injuries during the last several weeks. Notre Dame couldn't get its ground attack going against Florida State rushing for only 65 yards on 35 attempts, a meager 1.8 yards per carry. Jack Coan, a transfer from Wisconsin, came through for Notre Dame passing for 366 yards and throwing four TD's against Florida State. I'm not sold yet on Coan, though. He was nothing but a game manager at Wisconsin rarely putting any fear into defenses as a downfield threat. I understand Wisconsin and Notre Dame are very different. But Coan still has more to prove in my estimation before being considered a good quarterback.

NCAA-F | California vs TCU
Play on: California +12 -110 at SC Consensus

My free play is on Cal at 3:30 ET.
The Cal Golden Bears were limited to just FOUR games in 2020 because of COVID (1-3) but began their 2021 season with an excellent first quarter last Saturday night at home vs Nevada. Cal marched 63 yards on 15 plays on its first possession, followed by 72 yards on nine plays the second time the Bears had the ball. Cal led 14-0, by the end of the first quarter, owning a 13:21-1:39 dominance in time of possession. However, the Bears were held to just 195 yards and just THREE points the rest of the way, as Nevada pulled the 22-17 outright upset (note: Nevada was a top-rated 10* winner for me!).
The TCU Horned Frogs (Big 12) opened their 2021 season with a game vs Duquesne, better known for its basketball team than its football one (FCS member). Just like Cal, TCU scored TDs on its first two possessions of the game but unlike Cal, the Horned Frogs added THREE more TDs before halftime. With TCU up 35-0 at the half, both coaches agreed to play 12-minute quarters after halftime. TCU improved to 19-2 in home openers under coach Gary Patterson with a 45-3 win!
The schools have met just once, with TCU claiming a 10-7 overtime victory in the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl in Phoenix. Chase Garbers was a freshman starter at QB that day for Cal and now he's a senior with 25 games of experience. He's dealt with several injury issues over the years but he'll benefit from having most of his starting receivers return this season but the offensive line is another issue entirely. The Cal offense was one-dimensional last year, as the OL was never able to stop any sort of a pass rush. Four of the five starters return up front for Cal, so the unit should/could make big progressions this season. However, Garbers threw for just 177 yards vs Nevada (on 39 attempts) plus threw an INT in the late 4th quarter. NOT a great start.
TCU's Max Duggan is back at QB after a freshman season in which he completed 60.8% with a 10-4 TD/INT ratio while leading the team in rushing with 526 yards (4.5 YPC / 10 TDs). He threw for 207 yards (one TD and one INT) and ran twice for nine yards last Saturday, although he didn't play in the second half. TCU has been known for its defense under Patterson but it's hard to make too much of the Horned Frogs holding the Dukes to just six FDs and 137 yards.
Cal's 'ugly' record as a home favorite under head coach Justin Wilcox (now 1-9-1) was a MAJOR reason I went against the Bears with Nevada last Saturday. However, let me note here that while Cal played just two road games in 2020 (the Bears were favored in both), Cal checks in 8-1 ATS as a road underdog in 2018 and 2019. Meanwhile, TCU is a money-burning 6-16-1 ATS as a home favorite the last five seasons! Take the points.
Good luck...Larry

NCAA-F | Ball State vs Penn State
Play on: Penn State -22 -108 at pinnacle

DMack's Free NCAAF Play for Saturday, Sept 11th
Ball State returns 20 starters and is generally considered a threat to win the MAC championship. The Cards didn't play well in their opener vs. FCS Western Illinois but that might be attributable to a look ahead here. Penn State edged Wisconsin in a Big 10 slobberknocker and has Auburn on deck. The Nits would be well served to not take Ball for granted and should move the ball against a card defense that gave up 437 yards, 300+ passing to the WIU Leathernecks. James Franklin thinks this is a special team. We'll see.

NCAA-F | Iowa vs Iowa State
Play on: Iowa +4½ -104 at pinnacle

I am 1-0 this season in NCAAF releases and this Saturday I have one of my most explosive cards in years: GRIDIRON (6-1 LY), 63-26-1 TOUCHDOWN, 26-7 CONSENSUS, 30-10 WISEGUY, and my HOLY WAR WINNER. Join me here and you will start your college football season off with a HUGE PAYDAY.
Saturday’s FREE NCAAF WINNER: Iowa Hawkeyes.
Game 349.
1:30 pm pst.
Perhaps they were looking ahead, but the 9th ranked Iowa State team had their hands full with Northern Iowa in their season-opening, 16-10 win and no cover last week. Not the case at all as 10th ranked Iowa shredded a very game Indiana team, 34-6. Quarterback’s, Spencer Petras and Brock Purdy both are talented play-callers. This matchup is about which team controls the clock and the tempo. The better ground game and the superior defense both belong to the Hawkeyes. They have taken five in a row SU in this series and getting points here is a gift. Iowa is 6-2 ATS their last eight games played in the month of September, 7-2 ATS their last nine nonconference games, and 6-1-1 ATS their last eight games played overall. The Cyclones are 0-4 ATS their last four games played in the month of September, 3-8 ATS their L11 nonconference games, 2-3 ATS their last five meetings in this series. Take Iowa. Thank you.

NCAA-F | Houston vs Rice
Play on: Rice +8 -110 at Mirage

Im not a big fan of Houston's QB Clayton Tune's choices and how he reads the field . Last week vs Texas Tech he threw 4 interceptions, and has thrown 25 picks in 21 games in his College career, That is a major problem, and a big question mark for a Houston program that has lost 14 of 21 games SU under Holgorsen that is just not getting it done. Rice continues to uptrend on my power ranking charts and with 17 returning starters and a D, that has shown flashes of brilliance Im willing to recommend we take the points.
RICE is 7-2 against the spread versus HOUSTON since 1992. RICE is 49-27 ATS as a home underdog since 1992. Owls are 25-12-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
Cougars are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite.Cougars are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games on fieldturf. Cougars are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

NCAA-F | Eastern Michigan vs Wisconsin
Play on: Wisconsin -26 -110 at William Hill

#364 ASA FREE PLAY ON Wisconsin (1st HALF) -15 over Eastern Michigan, Saturday at 7PM ET - The Badgers are coming off an upset home loss to Penn State and will rebound in a big way here against Eastern Michigan. Wisconsin put up 369 total yards of offense against a very good PSU defense and will have their way here against an EMU team that allowed over 200-rushing yards per game in 2019 and 241RYPG in 2020. Both those numbers ranked 102nd or worse in college football the past two seasons. That’s not going to work well against a Wisconsin team that is historically one of the best rushing teams in the nation which has averaged over 223 rushing yards per game over the past four seasons combined. The Badgers gave up a few big passing plays to PSU last week, but the Lions could only muster 50 rushing yards and 11 first downs. Badgers QB Mertz threw three big interceptions last week, two inside Penn State’s 20-yard line which would have won the game for Wisconsin. The Badgers know they have to get Mertz going and build confidence going into their next game versus Notre Dame. We expect the Badgers to jump out to an early lead and coast to a win late.

NCAA-F | Appalachian State vs Miami-FL
Play on: Miami-FL -8½ -110 at Mirage

1* NCAAF - Appalachian St/Miami FREE PICK on Miami -8.5
Saturday's Free NCAAF Pick is on the Miami Hurricanes as a 8.5-point home favorite against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. I've tossed and turned about this play and in the end I have to go with my gut.
I just don't think what we saw last week from the Hurricanes in that 44-13 loss to Alabama is enough to change my opinion of this team. Alabama is on a different planet and they have done that exact same thing to other good teams in Week 1 in the past.
I still think this is a very talented Miami team and I'm hoping they come out here with a chip on their shoulder after what happened last week. They certainly didn't lay down in the 2nd half of that game against Bama (only outscored 17-10).
Appalachian State is a really good non-power 5 program, but less than a double-digit favorite against a Power 5 team is a bit much. I'm not as high as others on as Duke transfer Chase Brice, who started his career at Clemson. He's not very accurate and I think the pressure the Hurricanes can create up front will give him problems in this one. Bet Miami -8.5!

NCAA-F | NC State vs Mississippi State
Play on: NC State -1 -107 at pinnacle

*3 Star Free Pick on NC State* The NC State Wolfpack are a team I'm a lot higher on than most people this year. While NC State did go 8-4 last year, they were actually without their best quarterback (Devin Leary) for much of the season after he suffered a major injury. Bailey Hockman did a nice job for the team, but their upside is higher with Leary. Fortunately, Leary is back and the NC State offense is filled with a ton of skill position talent this year.
NC State's Bam Knight and Ricky Person form a great tailback tandem. Both ran for over 100 yards last week against USF. It won't come nearly as easy this week against a solid Mississippi State defense, but these are two good running backs. Leary is great at throwing the deep ball and that can really keep the defense honest.
NC State's defense pitched a shutout against USF. Yes it was USF, but this NC State defense is clearly much improved unit. Cyrus Fagan, a transfer from Florida State, is a great leader in the secondary. Derek Pitts Jr., who transferred from Marshall, gives the team a top notch cover corner as well.
Mississippi State needed an epic 4th quarter comeback just to win by a point over LA Tech last week. The Bulldogs offense went 5 for 5 on scoring TD's in the red zone and they needed every last point. Mike Leach's offense still isn't working that well with the current quarterbacks and the weakness at offensive line for Miss State.
I think NC State has the much higher upside and they are the more balanced team.
Take NC State.

Play on: Arkansas +7 -110 at SC Consensus

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #372 Arkansas Razorbacks over Texas Longhorns (7p.m., Saturday, September 11 ESPN) Was not that impressed with Texas against Louisiana, especially on offense. Do not feel they should be giving this many points in a true road game against an up-and-coming Arkansas team. Arkansas was looking ahead last week to this game, and they always seem to get up when facing their former SWC team. Expect this game to go down to the wire and we will collect with whoever comes out on top. Texas is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win in their previous game. Arkansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against Big 12 teams. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports weekend football card. Get all the action now and let 50 years of handicapping experience work for you.
