7-Unit Play. Take #343 Missouri (-1.5) over Boston College (noon, Saturday, Sept. 25th)
3-Unit Play. Take 'Under' 58 Missouri at Boston College (noon, Saturday, Sept. 25th)
This is a great spot to grab Missouri with a small line. The Tigers are facing a Boston College
team that has played well thus far but this is the first game that not having QB Phil Jurkovec will
truly matter. The Eagles backup QB Dennis Grosel looked fine in their win over UMASS, but it
was a different story in their win over Temple. Grosel completed five of 13 passes for 34 yards, a
touchdown and an interception. Those numbers are not going to get it done versus an SEC team.
Boston College won't be able to rely on just their rushing attack versus Missouri. The Tigers
pass rush will make life difficult for Grosel and the Eagles, and the Boston College offense
won't be able to get into a rhythm. Boston College had their tune-up games, but they haven't
faced the likes of Missouri QB Connor Bazelak or RB Tyler Badie. In the end the Missouri
offense will be too strong for Boston College to keep pace with and the Tigers defense will make
enough plays to keep the Eagle offense at bay. This is also a great spot to grab the 'under'.
Boston College has a strong defense and they will be able to slow Missouri down at times (keep
in mind that the Tigers are averaging over 40 points a game). This game will finish closer to 50
than 60 so take the small favorite and the 'under' in this one as Missouri wins 31-20.
3-Unit Play. Take #317 Notre Dame (+6.5) over Wisconsin (noon, Saturday, Sept. 25th)
This is too many points. Yes, Notre Dame has not looked good in their victories and Wisconsin's
defense is legit but?again, too many points. This is going to be a grind-it-out type of game and a
low scoring affair. Due to this fact, getting nearly a touchdown is too good to pass up. To be
honest we wouldn't shy away from a Notre Dame money line play here. The neutral site venue is
huge. Soldier Field will be a pro Notre Dame crowd and the Irish are fortunate not to have to
deal with a raucous Camp Randall crowd. There are a few big trends that we have our eye on
prior to this matchup. The Badgers are just 10-16 ATS in their 26 games under Chryst since
2015, while Notre Dame is 22-6 straight up in their last 28 games when playing on a rest
disadvantage (Wisconsin comes into this game off a bye). Take the Fighting Irish plus the points
in what will be an absolute slugfest.
5-Unit Play. Take #334 Army (-8.5) over Miami (OH) (noon, Saturday, Sept. 25th)
The Army rushing attack cannot be stopped. Army is averaging 331 yards per game on the group
and over 40 minutes of possession per game. Those numbers are astounding and there is nothing
Miami (OH) is going to be able to do about it. The Redhawks defense gives up nearly six yards
per carry which will be their downfall in trying to keep pace with an Army Black Knights
offense that is averaging 44.3 points per game. This is a game that you don't over think. Miami
(OH) is going to be outclassed in this game. The Redhawks are just 4-12 ATS in their last 16
games non-conference games, which doesn't bode well here. Lay the points with Army as they
are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite.
