Taking OHIO STATE. I know Penn State has played these guys tough. They no-show vs Michigan, but just ball-out vs the Buckeyes (OSU 9-1 SU, but PSU 5-1 ATS last 6). I will be that guy and 'Buck those numbers so to speak. Look. I think OSU is the best team in the land. They are really starting to get it going on offense right now. They didn't even play a good game last week and put up 54. These guys need some more 'statement' type games. They whipped Michigan State on the road 49-20. I think that should be something they get done here as well. Defense much improved and that will stymie Penn State today. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE |

Taking TCU here. Going to ride this undefeated bunch this afternoon. Really just fading away on this West Virginia defense. 48 last week. 40 before that at home vs Baylor. 38 to Texas. Kansas put 55 up on them. 38 by Pitt. Red Raiders with 38-43-38-55-42-59-38 on the board. So we pencil a 40 spot and think that the Mountaineers maybe get 30. I can live with that. Yes. Could be a flat spot after playing ranked teams and facing this bunch. But if the defense is giving me about 600 yards to play with, I will take the road team here. 4* Money Maker TCU |

That on the heels of College Gameday and the nation watching them win at Kansas. Oh, that was off them throttling Oklahoma dropping a Jordanesque Double Nickel on them. And before that they run past the Pony Express in-state rival SMU.

Minny had turnovers and Illini crushed them in time of possession. Gophers can still run the ball. Nittany Lions gave up more yards rushing last week over 400!! than they have in their other games combined this year! - Gophers go for 225 on the ground. Good enough for me.

I think the Herd still think that Notre Dame win is equal to 9 wins and they don't have to play anymore. -17 vs Bowling Green, lose outright... -3.5 vs Troy, lose outright... -31 vs Gardner Webb, 28-7... -10.5 vs ULL, lose outright. Maybe we get an inflated number with Madison off their loss. But I expect a crisp game with no turnovers here. This is has 41-16 written all over it. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON |

But the MACtion has lit a fire in their offense. Near identical 52-32 and 52-31 wins the last 2 week and a 38-17 to just start off conference play. I though Bulls would struggle a bit this year. They have surprised me a bit. I got down on the OVER 60.5 on this one also. These guys haven't met since 2019 so toss out revenge for Toledo as Buffalo won 49-30 as 10 point favorites. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO ROCKETS |

Even with Duke in off some dogfights the last two weeks - I think that actually helps. They will be fighting here. Again. Sometimes I take dogs thinking outright upsets. Other times, I see the fave that is not totally focused and we can squeeze in the number late. 47-10 and 48-0 the last 2 years as the Hurricanes rolled. Miami hasn't covered 5 straight weeks with last weeks 20-0 entering the 4th turning into 20-14 non cover. Doggy for me. 4* Money Maker DUKE BLUE DEVILS |

I have seen the Tigers let teams get back late and take a big win to a non-cover. Syracuse has played Clemson tough the last few seasons. Now, with a lofty ranking for them we find out how real they are. A banged up Boilermakers team and last week you get a team with a backup QB. Well. Now you get a annual Top 5 program. I thought Babers was on the hot-seat and beat SU Under wins. Well that went out the window in September. Notre Dame on deck for Clemson. Clemson has 1 monster blow-out cover this year. Cuse brings a solid defense. I think we get inside the number. 4* Money Maker SYRACUSE ORANGEMEN |

Taking TENNESSEE. I have talked about this team and this QB for the last month. Here we go. Bama in your stadium. An Alabama bunch who continues to struggle on the road. They defense is even winning Championships, gives up plays to good QBs. Their own QB, not 100%. The backup not ready for prime time. The chinks are in the armor of this Tide bunch. Can the Vols rip it off and expose Alabama to the road SEC loss? I think they can. The points are great, but I think we can get an outright win here. Tennessee defense not the best. They give up some points. But I can't see this team getting beaten by double digits. We had Volunteers last week and they rolled LSU. No look ahead spot. I think we get a focused group and the win this afternoon. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE VOLS |

Taking TENNESSEE. For me. This is all about QB play, and the Vols have a monster edge. I will say the Tennessee defense is not super. But the offense will put up points. LSU is slow out of the gate. Last week LSU QB had 80 yards passing. Should have lost the game. 2 INTs, force 6 fumbles, recover 2 and 1 goes for a TD. They started out slow vs Florida State and it cost them. Mississippi State. Another grinder down 13-7 at the half as you hit a TD with 45 seconds left. Vols won against Florida and at Pitt. I like their wins better. And I love their QB and WR play. #1 offense vs a very good defense. But you need to score a few to win. I don't think, even here in Death Valley the Tigers pull it off. Add in the extra rest for Tennessee and LSU coming off a tough a tough fight, edge road team. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE |

Taking MEMPHIS. Maybe this is my square play of the day here, I dunno. I just can't bet on Houston. I though these guys would be good. I mean. Look at these scores. 33-30 OT loser to Texas Tech. You hit a FG with 37 seconds left and give one up at 000s, then lose in OT. Yikes. Next week vs UTSA. Down 21-7, you come all the way back to hit a FG to go up 24-21 with 23 seconds left. Deja Vu as UTS connects with no time left for OT again! You pull this one out to get even. You jump out 14-0 on Kansas as 10pt faves at home. Hey- we are good. Gas in the tank after a pair of wild OT games! 28 unanswered and you are down 28-14. It's 48-30 and you are 1-2. As a 17pt home favorite you are down 27-24 to Rice entering the 4th before the 34-27 win because Rice coughed up a fumble for a TD at their own 11. Tulane comes to town and, what a shocker, hits a FG with no time on the clock to force OT! What nightmare is this for Cougars fans as to add insult to injury, Houston kicks a FG and Tulane scores a TD to win! Now we expect them to not somehow cough up a late lead if they get one? 3 OTs in 5 games and really that Rice one could have gone OT as well. - As for Memphis. Yes, a lackluster win over a terrible Temple team. But, hello - Houston on deck - a revenge spot for last years 31-13 after Memphis had won 5 in a row in the series. One last kick in the back for Houston. It is one thing saying - oh they play close ones, take the points. That is fine if they were dogs. They were favorites in 4 of these 5 games.! 4* Money Maker MEMPHIS TIGERS |

Should make it 2 in a row over Rutgers. Yeah. I'm a Jersey guy. But this team is scoring 15ppg vs schools not named Wagner. Rutgers took a 7-0 then it was 49-10 basically at the start of the 4th. As bad as Nebraska was under Frost, they were in games. Albeit they lost in the most painful fashion. New guy calling shots. Team seams to have responded. This is a winnable game for them.

Taking USC. So - Do I think the Trojans are a Top 5 team. Probably not. They are getting loads of help on the defensive side of the ball that has helped them to a +14 turnover margin. Wow. New HC Lincoln Riley probably loves that, who wouldn't. But that won't last all season. Good news - they probably don't need 4 turnovers to cover this number - I'll take 2 or 3 though! Look. We had Utah last week and then Arizona State canned Herm. Now you have a team off a 21pt trying to stay focused on a lost season. What kids are even thinking of staying with this program? Some might defect across the field at half-time. I'm sure the new HC will remind some of his guys how ASU beat them last year 31-16. A little extra motivation doesn't hurt. SC does like to run it and have 2 backs averaging 7ypr with 3 TDs each. QB Williams is solid with 9 TDs 0 INTs and 1000 yards through the air. A nice balanced attack. Don't be fooled by 34-13 loss to Utah. This ASU team was down 24-3 then hit a FG at 000s heading into the half. Then a meaningless TD down 34-6 to make it a lot closer than it was. UTAH gashed them for over 200 yards on the ground and 260 in the air. A 500 + yard night of offense is on the horizon tonight. 4* Money Maker USC |

Napier is in Florida, and this ULL is off a pair of losses to bottom feeders ULM and Rice as 9.5 and 12 point favorites! South Alabama is a 32-31 loss, just 2pts from perfection on the young season. ULL has won 6 in a row in the series and got them last 20-18 because SoAla kicker missed 2 PATs and then they couldn't get a 2pt conversion to tie.

This team was ranked Top 10 in the coaches poll when they lost at Washington. The defense is terrible. Michigan State somehow goes 13-4 their last 17 games. And they have been out-yarded! That is a lot of good fortune. And you know what. Not any coming back today. Terps took care of a what I think is a decent SMU squad. Then gave Michigan a battle on the road. I think the QB can exploit the Spartans here. Minny went for 268 3 TDs last week in the air. Washington torched them for 397 and 4 TDs. Tagovailoa has over 1100 yards already. He can chuck it.

That is what happens when you demolish Michigan State 34-7 and post scores of 49-7, 62-10 and 38-0. Maybe Purdue has another dog fight in them. I don't know. I like this RB - kid has is going for 150 a game with basically 2 TDs. QB tossed 3 TD passes vs Mich State last week. 7/1 split on the year and also 3 rushing TDs.

Man, just when you think you have seen it all, this bunch pulls off another win and another insane ending. James Madison comes in rested and that has to be a huge edge here. Appalachian may feel like they are a team of destiny. But I am grabbing the points. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON |

Win | 100 | 95 h 4 m | Show |
Taking KANSAS. Cue up the Hoops Talk for this game. Totally sick of that between these guys and Syracuse. Anyways - Jayhawks. Yes. This is a a big number for a team that has been a doormat for years. But this is Duke coming to town. A team that isn't that great themselves. Temple is bad. NC A&T is worse. Northwestern. That team just lost to Southern Illinois. That's a good win? Duke allowed 500+ yards to them. Sign me up for the home team. Go on the road and beat West Virginia in OT by 8 as 14 point dogs. No let down. On the road and a 48-30 beatdown of Houston on the road again as double digit dog at opener. Much more impressive. Let us look to the end of last season also. Upset Texas, on the road 57-56 in OT as 30 point dogs. Lose on a last second FG the next week on the road at TCU 31-28. Then lose at home to West Va 34-28 after those 2 close calls. This is a young team growing. Growing pains last year late. Wins this season early. 4* Money Maker KANSAS JAYHAWKS |

Loss | -110 | 101 h 58 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA TECH. We faded these guys vs OD to start the year. But they have turned things a round by beating BC and Wofford. Don't be alarmed by 27-7 win and not covering 38 vs Wofford. They were off the 27-10 BC win and have this matchup on deck. While West Virginia was running up a 65-7 win vs Towson. That is what you have to do when you are 0-2 and coming off a 55-42 OT home to Kansas. Run it up vs a 'buy-win' team. The West Va hot seat will be on full burner after they lose outright here. JT Daniels has gone from USC to Georgia to West Virginia. He played 11 games as freshman for the Trojans! Clearly not the answer at QB. Hokies defense is the difference makers vs this. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA TECH |

Taking UTSA. Texas nearly pulled off the shocker, probably should have. QBs hurt and still were in it. Now in a flat spot of all flat spots. Plus, Texas Tech on deck. Only reason I can't really unload totally on the Roadrunners is because it is their biggest game ever! Plus - off back to back OT games! Still have to like the dog here - so many Texas kids who probably never got a hello from Texas recruiters. 4* Money Maker UTSA ROADRUNNERS |

Taking BYU. Will grab whatever points I can get in this one. Tough spot for sure for the Cougars. Open in Florida. Home for Big 12 Baylor in an OT affair. Now at Oregon. Beating up on Eastern Washington is nice to pad some stats. Let's see Bo Nix have that success vs a real team. Last we saw him and Oregon they were getting trucked vs Georgia. BYU is Not Georgia. But they are far from EW. Oregon revamped their entire staff. This team was a mess last year. It showed in that Georgia game. BYU is on a 22-3 SU run. Feels like a FG game. 4* Money Maker BYU |

Taking APPALACHIAN STATE. 3rd time coming into one of their games. 1-1 so far. Thought they tank would be a little empty after that North Carolina game. Nope. Outright at A&M. Now - I get it. I hear it. Let-Down Spot! Eh. I don't think so. 45-7 -- 47-10 -- 48-13 -- 21-10 the last 3 years vs the Trojans. I get freaking ESPN Gameday at this so that is a bit worrisome! Troy lost 28-10 in the opener to Ole Miss. It was 21-0 half-way through the 2nd quarter and 28-3 4 minutes into the 3rd. That is with Ole Miss breaking in a new QB. Maybe the defense is a little improved. I know Mountaineers can score on these guys though. 4* Money Maker APPALACHIAN STATE |

TAKING UCLA. Bruins offense clicking vs their 1st two foes albeit Bowling Green (I had the BGs) and Alabama State. But they had been putting put points prior dropping 42-62(at USC)-44-24- 31 (at Oregon) vs PAC 12 schools. Enter South Alabama. Big road win at Central Michigan as small dogs. We had the over there because of the poor defenses. Jags defense won't keep this within 20pts. Last 3 road games last year 60 at Tennessee 31 at App St - 31 at Troy. A little leaky on defense. DTR looking to get into that Heisman hype. 4* Money Maker UCLA |

Taking WYOMING. Cowboys looked horrible in that Illini opener. Opened as a 2pt home dog to Tulsa, then to 6.5 - promptly win 40-37 in OT after your QB had 30 yards in Game 1. So for me here - I see 24-20 .. 20-6 .. 35-27 W .. 28-14 W.. 35-26 W.. 31-17 .. that goes back to 2015. Dogfights. They know this offense. It isn't a surprise. I am also on the OVER here. Yeah, it has been under wagon, but this AF team can score. I'm think 38-24 or along those lines. 4* Money Maker WYOMING |

Taking FLORIDA STATE. Yes Yes Yes. I know I said I like UL to go over their win total. But I haven't liked much of what we have seen the first 2 weeks. A game at Syracuse where you get steamed up to 5/6 pt fave and get demolished 31-7. Then, in basically a circle the wagons type of game for your Hot Seat HC, you upset UCF for the 2nd straight year 20-14. 2 long TDs called back a 2 minute drill stop save you from another road loss. Now - you get FSU. Another HC feeling the heat. They beat LSU basically in a home game for LSU. 2 straights win and 4 of 6 over the Noles for UL. But for me - I see some FSU run game here. 200 yards allowed in both games so far for the Cards. I think this team is going to take it right down ULs throats. These guys were in control of the entire game vs LSU. Don't let that 24-23 fool you. Late TDs. Wild finish. But you know what. A good team will withstand that. That is something a struggling team builds on. These guys have lost to UL enough. Time for some payback. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE |

Taking the GATORS. Right off the bat, a little concerned. Although I don't really worry about 'polls' - going from way unranked to Top 15. Not what I want to see. I want unranked Florida favored over 'ranked' Kentucky. Wildcats looked bad last week. You need a run game. Their best guy is out. Go look at that box score last week 10-10 in the 2nd until a FG as time expired. Open 3rd with a KO return TD. A fumble recover to a TD to make it 27-17. They had 50 yards on 26 carries. That won't cut it in The Swamp. I don't care how much a let down you think there might be. Gators opened as a fave over Utah. The Utes hype pushed it the other way. This Florida team was in the SEC a couple years ago. It isn't like they fell off a cliff. Great new HC. Made all the plays on offense and defense that a good team will do. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA GATORS |

Taking OLD DOMINION. One of the few games we released that moved against us. Now +13.5 out there. Obviously, not good for us as we want the best number. ECU off the near miss. We all saw it. Missed PAT, missed FG. Let's not forgot NC State with a blocked punt for a TD. Special teams a bit of problem. And laying double digits, it might leave that back-door open which we love. Nothing sexy about the Monarchs. They got turnovers last week and hung on for the win. Bigger battle for sure here. This is not a knock on ECU, we like the Pirates. Just going to grab the points. 4* Money Maker OLD DOMINION |

Taking TEXAS TECH. I had been holding back on this for whatever reason. Actually, I thought this team would be an Under Win team so that is why I was hesitant. Now I see this line creeping to the 4 range. Makes sense though. Houston off a wild game. A big 4th quarter comeback - Take a lead with 23 seconds left- Blow a lead as time expires.- Then, 3 Over Times for the win! Emotions running high again for another in-state battle. TT with a backup QB. That's OK. Kid was sharp last week and was MVP of the Liberty Bowl vs an SEC team. New HC for Tech also wants to make a good impression vs an Texas school. 4* Money Maker TEXAS TECH |

While Tennessee was destroying Ball State, Pitt was enjoying a literal back yard brawl in a knock down, drag out win over West Virginia.

You score 40 points in the 4th quarter and lose- at home! Bruh.... Now you travel to face A&M. Granted. Miami Hurricanes are on deck for the Aggies. But this should be a 20pt win.

Taking KANSAS STATE. I really like this team. Like the HC. Guy is a winner. Now I see a lot of love on Missouri. I don't get it? Is it because they are SEC Missouri? They haven't played defense there in years working on their 3rd DC in 3 seasons. Nice big win last week for them. Super. K-State going through the motions vs South Dak. Now you see the SEC as a decent dog and think this is a no brainer? I think the Wildcats run on these guys. Granted, QB Martinez from Nebraska, yes that kid who was pretty good as freshmen, has yet to live up to expectations. But he's a kid who has played in big games. And with this HC, I think he shines this season. Especially vs a struggling defense. Big home game for KSt. I think they get it done by double digits. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE |

Taking ALABAMA here and right to the window to cash a ticket. I mean really. Anytime I get this guys at less than 21 count me in. This won't a 30 like some dummy on ESPN said, but I can see it getting still moving up a few points by kickoff. Young with 5 TD passes on 18 attempts. Not missing a beat. The defense mauled an overwhelmed opponent. But how about Texas. Freshman QB. Tossed an INT and was sacked 3 times vs ULM. ULM. 3 sacks and an INT. What will he do against a defense that probably has a half dozen NFL players lined up against him. You think Texas stops these guys from putting up 40+? Crimson Tide in a burial. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA |

A pair of blocked punt TDs make this look like an easy contest. Also. Spenser Rattler. Remember that cat. Heisman guy from last year lost his job because his NIL money went to his head and he hasn't been right since. Well, he tossed 2 picks.

A trip to Auburn on deck. Look. This is no knock to the MAC Conference. But PSU with the SEC on deck. We will get a straight forward win and go through the motions type game here for Penn State. Ohio will obviously be pumped playing up, but we are just looking for the door to be open just enough to sneak in under 30.
