Scott Rickenbach’s NCAAF 10* (Top Play) is OVER the total at BYU at 10:15 ET
The Bulldog’s Five Factor Analysis: 1) New Mexico State travels to BYU for a Saturday night match-up with the Cougars. This shapes up to be a high-scoring affair between two teams that have seen the over go a combined 11-0 L11 games overall. Play over the total at BYU on Saturday night. 2) BYU is averaging a solid 28 PPG on the season, but they’ve really kicked things up a notch of late. Over the team’s last four games, BYU is averaging a remarkable 41 PPG. They’ve done it with great balance, averaging 234 YPG through the air and 165 YPG on the ground. 3) Look for BYU to continue its high-scoring run at home versus an Aggies team that has a porous defense to say the least. NM State ranks 113th of 120 FBS teams in scoring defense, allowing a putrid 37 PPG. Over the team’s last four games, they’ve allowed 201 points, an average of 50.25 PPG. The Aggies won’t be able to slow down the red hot Cougars offense in this match-up. 4) Offensively, look for NM State to find the end zone several times in this match-up. While the BYU defense is solid, the Aggies have been hot of late. While they average a respectable 29 PPG on the season, note that NM State has scored 34 or more points in 3 of its last 4 games. Both teams are poised and ready to light up the score board in this match-up. 5) BYU has seen the over go 8-3 L11 games as the favorite of 10.5 or more points. NM State has seen the over go 6-0 L6 as the underdog and 4-0 as the dog in tonight’s range. Look for these trends to extend. Play over the total at BYU as a 10* Top Play Selection.

Northwestern, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest, NCAA football trio November 15, 2011 3:00 AM by Mark Mayer
SATURDAY
Vanderbilt -1 at Tennessee: My favorite play. I tipped you on Aaron Rodgers’ little brother Jordan, who is 5-0 ATS since taking over at QB. We may have to go back to the Confederacy when Vandy was favored in Knoxville. VANDERBILT.
UNC +10½ at Va Tech: Tar Heels have had 12 days to think about being shut out at NC State. Hokies may look ahead to Virginia. UNC.
Marshall -13 at Memphis: A real stinker. No way Marshall should be favored this much having lost this season to Rice! MEMPHIS.
Minnesota +15 at N’western: The Wildcats have rallied behind new QB. A fourth straight win makes them bowl eligible. N’WESTERN.
Virginia +17 at FSU: Surging Cavaliers have won five of six and catch Seminoles in between Miami and Florida. VIRGINIA.
USC +15½ at Oregon: Barkley in Luck’s league at QB plus Trojans have the team speed Stanford lacked against the Ducks. USC.
Kansas +30½ at Texas A&M: Aggies will be thinking Texas, up next. KU has lost by 1 and 3 last two games. KANSAS.
Arizona +10½ at Arizona St. Arizona has lost last three by 11, 13 and 19. ASU angry off bitter loss at Washington State. ARIZONA ST.
UNLV +22½ at Air Force: The Falcons will have this number covered midway through second quarter. AIR FORCE.
FAU +10½ at Troy: Fla. Atlantic is 0-9 with eight losses by more than 10½. Troy has lost five in a row. It won’t be six. TROY.
Minn +15 at N’western: The Wildcats have won and covered three straight and are looking for a bowl game as they continue their good run. NORTHWESTERN.
Wisconsin -14 at Illinois: Usually I don’t like to lay points on the road in this conference, or any in fact, but the not so Fighting Illini have gone south for the winter. Their offense is averaging just 10½ points in their last four, losing all and covering just one. WISCONSIN.
Maryland +11 at Wake: Must continue to bet against the Terrapins who have lost six straight with just one cover in that span. The Demon Deacons try for win No. 6. WAKE FOREST.
Texas Tech +17 at Missouri: The Red Raiders are another team we will keep betting against as they have really gone south after huge upset win at Oklahoma. This will be a double edge sword for Mizzu who looks for revenge from last year’s 24-17 loss in Lubbock. MISSOURI.
Colorado St. +34 at TCU: This is one of my favorite plays, very similar to the bet against LSU last week. TCU comes off the huge win at Boise. The game was originally scheduled for Fort Worth but moved to Boise when the Frogs announced they were leaving the Mountain West. That got their blood boiling. Can’t see them getting up for this game. COLORADO ST.
California +21 at Stanford: It is very difficult to regroup after your first loss this late in the season. The points are the way to go. CALIFORNIA.
BC +24½ at Notre Dame: Just don’t see the Irish covering in this game. The Eagles don’t score many, but they can play some good defense. A turnover here and there will get them the cover. BOSTON COL.
USC +15½ at Oregon: This is my favorite game of the week pitting a real good Trojans team against a real good Ducks team coming off a huge win at Stanford. USC should have beaten Stanford and will get a big shot here to avenge last year’s 53-32 drubbing in LA. USC/OVER
Boise St. -17 at San Diego St.: Boise not up to full force and, coming off first loss, will be hard pressed to get the cover here. SAN DIEGO ST.

Virginia +17
Kent -3½
TCU -33
Oregon St +2
Arizona +11
Nebraska +3½
UCLA -10
Penn St +7
Nevada -7
UNLV +24 at Air Force Play of the Day
It’s not if UNLV will lose at Colorado Springs, but by how many? We say plenty. The Rebels lost at New Mexico last week. Yes, that’s right, lost to probably the worst college football team in America. Air Force should have the 24 covered by halftime.
