TOP PLAY: NC STATE MONEYLINE +255
After their upset win over Pittsburgh NCST dropped 4 straight before beating Maryland last week. That win snapped their losing streak but also moved NCST to a PERFECT 8-0 ATS in November L2 seasons!! Today they play host to a Clemson team that is coming off a huge rivalry win over Florida State. Despite their 4-5 mark we can not over look what QB Russell Wilson has done this season completing more than 60 percent of his passes for nearly 2,400 yards and 24 TDs against just 9 picks!! Look for Wilson to enjoy success today against a Tigers defense that has struggled on the road giving up more than 30 points per game!! Clemson has a history of struggling on the road and this season is no different. In their 3 road games this year Clemson is 2-1 but all 3 games were decided by exactly 3 points!! Look for Clemson to enter this game feeling a little too good after that win last win over FSU and for NCST to shock them!! It is worth noting Clemson is just 1-4 ATS L5 as a road fave while NCST is a PERFECT 5-0 ATS L5 as a home dog and a PERFECT 6-0 ATS L6 after losing 4 of their L5 games!!

TOP PLAY: TEXAS -23 -120
It will probably be a long time before you see me lay 23 points again but it is tough for me to ignore this one. Baylor is coming off a SU win over Mizzou as a double digit dog and kids at this level fail miserably in this spot!! Texas has owned this squad and as much as I believe Texas is severely over-rated there is little reason to think they won’t steamroll the Bears today!! Take the over-rated Longhorns over another weak opponent!! It is worth noting that Baylor is 4-12 ATS L16 as a home dog including 3-7 ATS L10 as a home dog of 10.5 points or more and are 5-16 ATS L21 home games versus a team with a winning road record!!

TOP PLAY: KANSAS +4
TOP PLAY: KANSAS MONEYLINE +165
This is a perfect spot for Kansas to rebound off their 4 straight losses as they catch Nebraska coming off a huge upset win over Oklahoma. I backed Nebraska in that win last week but today will gladly go against them!! Despite the Huskers win last week it is important to note they were out-gained by almost 150 yards!! Their offense was non-existent and it was their defense that actually won the game. Today, however, not even their defense can win this one!! Kansas possesses too many weapons offensively and will ultimately wear down the Huskers defense. Defensively, the one thing Kansas does well is defend the run and unfortunately for the Huskers that’s all they can do – or try to do!! The simple goal for Kansas today – get the lead!! If they do it’s lights out for Nebraska!! It is important to note that Kansas qualifies for an incredibly strong system involving certain home teams playing on revenge; these teams have cashed almost 80% of the time over the long haul!!

TOP PLAY – CFB GAME OF THE WEEK: IOWA +17
TOP PLAY: IOWA MONEYLINE +570
Folks, these are the situations that Vegas gets rich on!! All the hype surrounding OSU now that Iowa’s QB went down last week with a season ending injury!! What’s funny is that oddsmakers set the opening line at 13.5 already knowing his season was done but the public quickly pounded this number to 16.5/17 and I will gladly take all of these points and more!! Here is the bottom line!! OSU is a team America loves to love and even though this offense has been very inconsistent this year the win over Penn State, a SU win as a 5.5 point dog, has people believing they are a great team – THEY ARE NOT!! Losing QB Stanzi is a blow, no doubt, but Iowa’s defense has an opportunity to shine against a team that relies heavily on the run, something they defend really well!! This will put all pressure on Pryor and he will make a few of his classic bonehead mistakes and give Iowa some short fields to work with!! Look for Iowa to keep this close throughout, AND STEAL THE WIN, through conservative play calling and ball control and look for OSU to have a classic letdown and it helps knowing they are just 2-6 ATS L8 at home against teams with winning records!! It is worth noting Iowa is 10-1 ATS L11 road games including 6-1 ATS L7 as a road dog of 10.5 points or more!! The Hawkeyes are also 9-2 ATS L11 against teams with winning records, are 25-10 ATS L35 of a SU loss and 22-6 ATS L28 after scoring 20 or fewer points!!

TOP PLAY: SOUTH CAROLINA +18 -120
SC is coming off B2B tough road losses to Tennessee and Arkansas and now hosts Florida, Spurrier’s old team. We find Spurrier and his Cocks in a huge home revenge system that has cashed almost 80% of the time over the long haul. Last year Florida humiliated SC in a 56-6 rout, one of Spurrier’s worst career losses!! The Gators won by 50 as a 21 point fave in that one and now this year only opens as a 15 point fave?? I DON’T THINK SO!! Look for Spurrier’s boys to play with tremendous heart and pride and even give the Gators a scare!!

164 USC
TOP PLAY: USC -10 -120
Stanford is coming off their huge an impressive win over Oregon last week – CAN YOU SAY MAJOR LETDOWN?? And the line says it all!! Oddsmakers opened the line at 11.5 knowing the public would take the bait and they are!! But history shows that Stanford falls flat on their faces today!! The Cardinal are just 2-8 ATS L10 as a road dog including 1-4 ATS L5 as a road dog of 10.5 points or more!! The Cardinal are laso a horrible 1-7 ATS L8 on the road against teams with winning records. Meanwhile, USC is 5-1 ATS L6 at home against teams with losing records on the ROAD!! USC is over-rated but today they will look like the dominant team of year’s past again with an easy and impressive win!!

This week MSU enters off a bye week after a huge road win before that and facing a Bama team coming off a huge home win against LSU – certain teams in this spot are an amazing 19-1 ATS since 1980!! Bama’s win last week also clinched the division title so this could be a classic letdown spot. With the Tide’s offense struggling against quality defenses averaging just 20 pts/gm over L4 it is tough to pass up the points today!!

TOP PLAY: UTAH +20
TOP PLAY: UTAH MONEYLINE +820
I have to admit this line is odd but I am taking the bait!! TCU is on a roll and a win here today almost guarantees a BCS bowl berth. However, don’t expect Utah to roll over and play dead!! Utah is a dangerous opponent for TCU because they possess something that a lot of TCU’s opponents didn’t – and that is BALANCE!! The Utes offensive line is big and powerful and they have RB Eddie Wise whose current streak of 100+ yard games is a school record!! They have the defense to slow TCU down and they have the playmakers to keep the Frogs’ defense on their heels!! This one comes down to execution and taking care of the ball. If the Utes can win the turnover margin they will win the game!! Utah is 5-1 SU L6 meetings and 25-7-1 L33 as a road dog. Even more impressive Utah is a PERFECT 7-0 SU when they and their opponent are both ranked in the AP Poll!!

After losing to Navy last week everyone has jumped off the Irish bandwagon but I will jump on for TODAY!! This is a series that covers 19 games and is rich in tradition. It is important to note the Panthers have only been favored 3 times during this stretch and THEY LOST ALL 3 GAMES OUTRIGHT!! As many of you know I am not a huge fan of Wannstedt and I think he simply gets out-classed at times and today will be just that!! Wannstedt is a horrible 1-6 ATS against teams with a winning percentage of 67% or higher!! When they are favored by 8 or less the Panthers are just 2-6 ATS L8!! The Irish lost to the Panthers last season in quadruple OT and will be seeking redemption for that loss!! Navy beat the Irish last week, true, but it is very possible the Irish got caught looking ahead to this showdown!! The Irish are an incredible 11-1 ATS as a road dog of 8 points or less!! The Irish also qualify for a very unique but incredibly successful system that involves certain road dogs off a SU loss to a military school; those teams are a PERFECT 12-0 ATS since 1980 when playing an opponent with a winning percentage of 70% or greater!! Additionally, Pitt qualifies for a system that supports going against certain home faves of 4 or more points who are riding current SU and ATS streaks of 3; these teams have failed miserably going a PERFECT 0-11 ATS since 1980!!

This sets up as an even worse matchup than usual for Maryland and considering recent series history, that's certainly saying something. The Hokies are a perfect 4-0 SU/ATS since '93 in this series, three of those meetings coming after they joined the ACC, winning by an average of 26 PPG. In their last visit to College Park, they outgained the Terps by 243 total yards and had a first down advantage of +9. This time when they come calling, it will almost be like they are playing a home game in Lane Stadium. That's because a 2-7 non-bowl eligible Maryland team is having trouble drawing crowds this year to Byrd Stadium. Consider that prior to 2002, the Terps never drew a crowd of less than 48,000 (stadium capacity is 51,500), but has not even approached that number in five home games this season. Because there is a large contingent of Virginia Tech alumni in the Washington DC area, however, you can expect a packed house Saturday afternoon. Consider that in that '05 visit, the announced attendance was 54,838 (over capacity), making the Hokie presence considerable. Really Maryland fans have nothing to show up for anyway as RB Da'Rel Scott (team's best player) was already lost for the season and now senior and three-year starter QB Chris Turner is done as well (MCL), leaving Ralph Freidgen to insert Jamarr Robinson for his first career start. He also has entertained the idea of playing freshman Danny O'Brien. This is the wrong defense for that as VT has held five different opponents below the 15-point barrier. After Turner went down in the second quarter of last week's 38-31 loss to NC State, the Maryland offense gained just nine yards in the third quarter. The Hokies are 51-25 ATS off a non-conference game and 35-19 ATS as road chalk. Virginia Tech is our 25* ACC Game of the Year.
