Ohio State vs. Wisconsin Against The Spread October 15, 2016

This is a 5* play on the Denver Nuggets.

The Lakers are so much better than Denver on paper, and they own a 2-1 series lead heading into Game 4. The Nuggets though have proven to be a tough out, coming back from 3-1 series deficits twice already in these playoffs. When asked about winning Game 3, Jamal Murray said: "We should be up 2-1 right now." The Lakers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS loss, and they are just 10-21 ATS in the last 31 head to head meetings. Murray is absolutely right. The Lakers won Game 4 at the free throw line, and that didn't go unnoticed. We should see the Nuggets get an opportunity to extend this series in Game 5.

This is a 5* play on WVU.

Oklahoma State didn't look sharp in a home win over Tulsa last week. They scored just three points in the first three quarters, and they needed to rally to score 13 in the fourth to win 16-7. Chubba Hubbard ran for a rather pedestrian 93 yards on 27 carries in the victory. The Cowboys might still be dealing with off the field distractions, after players called out head coach Mike Gundy in the off-season. Gundy managed to keep his job but was forced to take a pay cut after a photo surfaced showing him wearing a t-shirt that some people thought was offensive. The Mountaineers aren't expected to be a contender in the BIG12 this season, but they looked pretty good in a 56-10 win over Eastern Kentucky in their opener. The Mountaineers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games in September, and the underdog has covered in four of the last five head to head meetings.

Take WVU.

This is a 5* play on Florida.

The Rebels are excited about the future since bringing in Lane Kiffin this off season. I don't expect Kiffin to have it all figured out in Week 1 though, and he draws a tough matchup against #5 ranked Florida. The Gators are in their third year under Dan Mullen, coming off an 11-2 season last year. They have senior QB Kyle Trask running the offense. A new coach, a new offense and uncertainty at the quarterback position isn't going to make it easy for the Rebels to hang around against a more talented Florida team. The Gators are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games, and the Rebels are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as a home underdog.

Take FLA.

This is a 5* play on Under.

Georgia Tech is in their second year since abandoning the Triple-Option offense, and as expected there have been some growing pains. Freshman QB Jeff Sims has thrown twice as many picks (4) as TDs (2) through the first two weeks. The Yellow Jackets come into Syracuse as a rather dubious looking favorite, and the Orange haven't been too bad defensively. In Week 1 they held North Carolina to just 10 points heading into the fourth quarter, before being outscored 21-0 in the final frame. Last week they lost 20-7 at Pittsburgh. The under is 8-3-1 in the Orange's last 12 games as a home underdog.

Take Under.
