09-27-14 | Florida State v. NC State +23 | Top | 56-41 | Win | 100 | 136 h 12 m | Show |
10* NC State +23 NC State should have some confidence being 4-0 and winning big at South Florida. FSU won the title last year and beat NCSU by 32 points but Shadrach Thornton ran for 173 yards on 23 carries and 2 TD's last year in the loss. The Wolfpack added QB Jacoby Brissett, who used to be at Florida, so he would love to defeat the Seminoles. Brissett has played well as he has completed 69.7% of his passes with 10 TD's and just one interception. Matt Dayes has 263 yards rushing so far and has caught some passes as well. Heisman trophy winner Jameis Winston sat out last week's overtime win at home against Clemson. FSU opened with a win over Oklahoma State by 37-31 and beat the Citadel 37-12 too. This is FSU's first road game. NCSU did fall behind Ga Sotuehrn and came back to win 24-23 and was down to ODU but came back and won by by two touchdowns. FSU could get ahead and steamroll NCSU but getting +23 has plenty of value. 10* NC State +23 | |||||||
09-20-14 | Virginia +16.5 v. BYU | 33-41 | Win | 100 | 136 h 14 m | Show | |
UVA at BYU 3:30pm 10* Virginia +16.5 UVA won 19-16 at home last year. Louisville just faced the Cavaliers and lost 23-21. UVA has a solid defense and played a 28-20 game with UCLA and then beat Richmond 45-13. UVA has a solid runner in Parks who had 20 carries for 65 yards and one TD last year. BYU crushed Texas 41-7 and won at UConn 35-10 but last week at home played a 33-25 game with Houston. Houston and BYU played last year and it ended 47-46. UVA struggled last year but did play a 16-6 game with Va tech and lost by 10 to Ga tech and by 13 to Duke. BYU is led by QB Taysom Hill and RB Jamaal Williams. Both played vs. UVA last year. Virginia's QB's are Lambert and Johns and both are erratic and could be a problem in keeping this within 14 points. This is UVA's first road game and that is a concern but the Cavs should be confident after winning at home vs. Louisville. 10* Virginia +16.5 | |||||||
09-20-14 | North Carolina +2.5 v. East Carolina | Top | 41-70 | Loss | -110 | 72 h 33 m | Show |
UNC +2.5 Most places have this at +2 but +2.5 is nicer. UNC is 2-0 SU but had wins vs. Liberty and San Diego State, barely beating the Aztecs. QB Marquise Williams is a solid runner and decent passer and has led UNC to 8-1 record n their last 9 games. ECU did win at UNC 55-31 last year so the Tar Heels have this game circled since Shane Carden and company played well at Chapel Hill. ECU beat Va Tech 28-21 last week but led 21-0 and then were stagnant for three quarters. Carden was about to find Cam Worthy as well as James Hardy. The Pirates did struggle to run the ball. These two are just 110 miles apart and in a little brother/big brother relationship. UNC would rather play other schools but this game can mean the whole season to the Pirates. However, UNC is off a bye while ECU has played on the road at South Carolina and Virgina Tech in recent weeks. Take UNC +2.5 10* UNC +2.5 | |||||||
09-20-14 | Old Dominion v. Rice -6.5 | Top | 45-42 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 26 m | Show |
10*Rice -6.5 Rice has lost badly in games on the road at Notre Dame and Texas A&M. Hoever, they have a solid QB in Driphus Jackson, who can run and pass. They outgained A&M last week by a few yards and should have scored more than 10 points. Now they get to play at home against an ODU team that is 2-1 but in their first year of FBS acton. ODU QB Heinicke missed some practice with a sore shoulder and won't be 100%. startled this line is as low as iis. Rice is not great but did win the C-USA last year. Rice wins by 10 to 14. 10* Rice -6 | |||||||
09-13-14 | GEORGIA SOUTHERN +22 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 38-42 | Win | 100 | 120 h 35 m | Show |
Georgia Southern at Ga Tech #133/134 10* Ga Southern +22 This line is at +21 to +22 as I write this early in the week. Ga Southern is similar to Ga Tech as they both like to run the ball. Ga Southern's defense should be used to practicing against a solid running game. GA Southern did win against Savannah State 83-9 last week and was just 4 of 5 passing but both QB's had touchdown passes. The Eagles lost at NC State in week one by 24-23 but led most of the game. They also won 26-20 last year at Florida without completing a pass (0-3). Georgia Tech is 2-0 with a 38-19 win at home over Wofford but the Terriers had 271 rushing yards and averaged 5.8 yards per carry. QB Justin Thomas was just 3/8 passing with one interception against Tulane last Saturday as the Yellow Jackets won 38-21. Tulane led 21-14. This game should mean more to Ga Southern as they play their instate school and member of the ACC. I think we see Georgia Southern stay within 14 to 17 points in this early game on Saturday. 10* Georgia Southern +22 | |||||||
09-13-14 | Indiana -7 v. Bowling Green | Top | 42-45 | Loss | -108 | 86 h 18 m | Show |
10* Indiana -7 The Hoosiers of the Big Ten are used to playing solid teams like Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State. Last year they beat this Bowling Green team 42-10 and opened with a 28-10 win over Inidiana State as Coleman ran for 247 yards and 2 touchdowns while Roberts had 129 yards. QB Sudfeld was solid as well. Indy was off last week and should be ready for Bowling Green who won easily in Game Tow but lost to Western Ky 59-31 in their opener. WKY had 40 first downs and had the ball for 36 of the 60 minutes. Indiana beat Purdue by 20, beat Illinois by 17 and beat Penn State by 20 last year. This game is at Bowling Green but I still like the Hoosiers to win and cover. 10* Indiana -7 | |||||||
09-06-14 | Old Dominion +16 v. NC State | Top | 34-46 | Win | 100 | 139 h 3 m | Show |
ODU +16 NC State is off a nice comeback win at home vs. Georgia Southern, winning 24-23 with a late TD with 1:24 to play. Transfer QB Brissett played well as he was 28 of 40 with 3 touchdowns and one interception. ODU played a local team that is just 10 miles away and beat them 41-28. ODU jumped ahead early and held on to win as senior QB Taylor Heniicke had only 230 yards passing and two int's. I expect him to bounce back this week as an underdog of 16 points. RB Gerard Johnson did run for 137 yards against Hampton on Saturday. The Monarchs are well coached by Bobby Wilder. NCSU was 3-1 last year and then lost 8 in a row in ACC action. ODU led ECU last year near the half and was down by just 3 in the 4th quarter at Pittsburgh. They did lose badly at Maryland and were only down 21-20 at UNC before losing badly without much depth in the final game of 2013. I think we see NC State win by 10 to 14 points so I think ODU +16 is a winner. 10* ODU +16 | |||||||
08-30-14 | Georgia Southern +23 v. NC State | Top | 23-24 | Win | 100 | 334 h 44 m | Show |
10* Georgia Southern +23 This game starts early (12:30pm) on Saturday, August 30th. NC State will start reshirt junior QB Jacoby Brissett, who transferred from Florida. The Wolfpack started 3-1 last year but ended 0-8 with losses by at least 8 points in those games. Dave Doeren will be in his second year in Raleigh. Georgia Southern won 7 games last year and did win at Florida. They won without completing a pass as they were 0-3. They bring in a new coach, Willie Fritz, who was 176-67 at other schools like Sam Houston State. They are led by QB Kevin Ellison. Fritz should have the team ready to surprise NCSU as last year's team focused on the run and now they are looking to pass it as well. It may take awhile for the home team to get started since the game is early and the Wolfpack will need to win by more than 3 TD's to cover. NC State should win but look for the underdogs from the Sun Belt to stay within 20 points. Ga Southern 17 NC State 35 10* Georgia Southern +23 | |||||||
08-30-14 | UCLA v. Virginia +21.5 | Top | 28-20 | Win | 100 | 165 h 39 m | Show |
UCLA at UVA 10* Virginia +21.5 UCLA has to travel across the country to play at 12 noon on Saturday, which will be 9am west coast time. UCLA returns QB Brett Hundley and a solid team. UVA started last year with a 19-16 win at home vs. BYU but struggled after the first few games. Coach Mike London is lucky to still be coaching the Cavaliers but he does have a decent runner in the backfield as well as 17 starters from last year. Virginia also beat Penn State early in 2012. UVA has had all summer to get ready for the Bruin attack and will be focused since UCLA beat UVA's rival Virginia Tech in last year's bowl action. All we need is for Virginia to stay within 21 points to get the cover. 10* Virginia +21.5 | |||||||
08-28-14 | Wake Forest v. UL-Monroe -1 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 100 | 43 h 49 m | Show |

01-06-14 | Auburn +9 v. Florida State | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 71 h 57 m | Show |
Auburn +9 The Tigers are +9 or +8.5 at most sportsbooks as I write this. FSU played ACC teams like Duke (Twice) as well as Idaho, Bethune Cookman and Nevada. They beat Northern Illinois last year in their bowl. Auburn is well coached by Gus Malzahn as they have some unusual running schemes. They lost early and have bounced back against teams like Texas A&M, Alabama and Missouri. QB Nick Marshall can pass and run while RB Tre Mason had 2137 all purpose yards. FSU does have Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston and a solid defense but they won all games by at least 14 points, so what happens if they are in a close game with a young QB? I like Auburn plus the points as the SEC has shown they can compete and win these types of games. 10* Auburn +9 | |||||||
01-04-14 | Houston +3 v. Vanderbilt | Top | 24-41 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 2 m | Show |
Houston has been steady all year and one of the best ATS teams in college football. I was 5-1 ATS going with the Cougars this year but did lose when they played at home vs. Cincinnati, as the young Cougar QB fumbled at the 10 yard line and allowed Cincy to jump ahead and win outright. John O'Korr is a decent QB who can run and pass and helped Houston to be one of the best in not having turnovers. Vanderbilt did end the year beating Wake Forest with a late TD. I think we see a close game but take the underdog getting points. 10* Houston +3 | |||||||
01-02-14 | Oklahoma v. Alabama -16 | Top | 45-31 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 13 m | Show |
Take Alabama -16 for Thursday. They are off a poor Auburn game where they missed 4 FG's including a late one to alllow Auburn to play for the SEC title. They did lose to the Tigers back in 2010 and then crushed Michigan State 49-7 in their bowl. Led by Nick Saban and QB AJ McCarron (75 TD's and just 13 interceptions), the Tide can run and pass the bowl and should be focused vs. a powerhouse name like Oklahoma but the Sooners were down this year under Bob Stoops. Saban is 3-0 ATS vs. Oklahoma while Stoops is 0-7 ATS vs. the SEC. Alabama wins by 21 to 24 and covers. 10* Alabama -16 | |||||||
01-01-14 | Iowa +8.5 v. LSU | Top | 14-21 | Win | 100 | 2 h 50 m | Show |
Iowa is a underdog of 8 to 8.5 points but they have a solid punt reurner who was #5 in the nation. They are well coached under Kirk Farentz and LSU's #1 QB was injured in the Arkansas game. LSU will probably win but I like it to be a 24-21 type of score. 10* Iowa +8.5 | |||||||
12-31-13 | Boston College +7.5 v. Arizona | Top | 19-42 | Loss | -112 | 23 h 42 m | Show |
Take BC + the points. Some have +7.5 but +7 is a nice line for a team that played Clemson and FSU closely and have a solid runner in Andre Williams. BC ended the year on a nice 4-1 ATS finish while Arzona was blown out by rival ASU and slumped in its last 4 games. Take Boston College to cover on Tuesday. BC 24 AZ 27 10* BC +7.5 | |||||||
12-30-13 | Ole Miss -3 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 25-17 | Win | 100 | 101 h 45 m | Show |
Take Ole MIss as our 10* GOY. Georgia Tech struggled on defense vs. good teams this year. They have lost recent bowl gams but did beat an uninterested USC team last year. They are just 1-4 ATS in the last 5 bowls. QB Vad Lee completed just 51% of his passes and the Tech team had too many fumbles. Ole Miss is well coached under Hugh Freese with a solid QB who can run and pass and plays in a better conference. Take Ole Miss -3 as our Bowl Game Of The year as they win by 7 to 10 points. 10* Ole Miss -3 | |||||||
12-28-13 | Cincinnati v. North Carolina -2.5 | Top | 17-39 | Win | 100 | 25 h 39 m | Show |
UNC will be playing in Charlotte, North Carolina and have plenty of fan support. The Tar heels were just 6-6 under coach Larry Fedora but finished strong. They lost QB Bryn Renner to an injury but backup Marquis Williams is a better runner and decent passer. UNC does have WR/punt returner Ryan Switzer as a nice weapon. He helped win the Pitt game with a late return TD. The UNC defense is below average and will be tested. Cincy played a weak schedule and lost to Louisville in the conference title game. The Bearcats did have a nice win at Houston. I think we see a game in the 31-24 range with UNC winning and covering. Cin 24 UNC 31 10* UNC -2.5 | |||||||

Take Washington State -4 They are from the Pac 12 and only lost by 7 at Auburn. They beat USC ny 3 and have the 4th best passing offense at 364.5 ypg and score close to 30 per game. They beat Utah and Arizona and did lose to Washington and Oregon, which helped their strength of schedule which was #1 in the nation. Colorado St. was 7-6 and lost to a Pac 12 school (Colorado) and had a weak schedule. They lost to Utah State by 13-0. WSU coach Mike Leach was in several bowls at Texas Tech. I think we see WSU win and cover on Saturday. 10* WSU -4 | |||||||
12-14-13 | Army v. Navy UNDER 55 | Top | 7-34 | Win | 100 | 74 h 57 m | Show |
Both teams like to run the ball which can use up clock. Navy has dominated this series lately and is prepared for the attack of the Cadets. Navy's Keenan Reynolds is a solid runner and edecent passer when needed. I think we see a game in the 31-17 range that stays under the total. Navy 31 Army 17 10* under 55 | |||||||
12-07-13 | Missouri +2 v. Auburn | Top | 42-59 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 31 m | Show |
Missouri has a better defense and passing game than Auburn does. Both teams have been great at winning this year, especially Auburn as they won with late plays vs. Georgia and Alabama. The Tide missed 4 field goals in their game and missed a 4th and 1 in Auburn territory. QB Jmaes Franklin is very good for Missouri as he can pass and run. This team has done well with not turning the ball over. I think we see Missouri win outright but take whatever you can get. 10* Missouri + | |||||||
12-07-13 | Costal Carolina v. Montana UNDER 73.5 | Top | 42-35 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 60 m | Show |
under 73.5 as it is supposed to be very cold in Montana on Saturday. This game is set for 2pm eastern. Coastal Carolina has to make the long trek out west to play this game. All it takes is a missed field goal or interception in the end zone and we see an under. under 73.5 | |||||||
12-06-13 | Bowling Green v. Northern Illinois -3 | Top | 47-27 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 12 m | Show |
Take NI -3 Northern Illinois won last year 45-13 at Bowling Green. NI is led by QB Jordan Lynch. He is a great runner and decent passer and led the team to an undefeated season so far. BG is led by running back Travis Greene, who has 1422 yards on the ground. BG has won their last 4 games by 17, 51, 49 and 42 points while losing just 3 games and they were by 3 to Toledo, 1 at Miss State and by 32 at Indiana to start the year. This should be close but look for NI to find a way to win. 10* NI -3 | |||||||
11-30-13 | UCLA v. USC -3.5 | Top | 35-14 | Loss | -106 | 80 h 36 m | Show |
College Football UCLA at USC 10* USC -3.5 UCLA has cooled off lately after a nice start. They have two freshman offensive lineup and face a USC defense allowing just 14 ppg at home. Both play in LA but this is a home game for the Trojans and the home team is 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings. USC replaced their old coach with Ed Orgeron and they have played well for him. Take USC to win and cover. USC wins by 10 points. 10* USC -3.5 | |||||||

Thursday: college football Texas Tech at Texas 7:30pm Thursday 10* Texas -4 Texas has won 6 of 7 games after a slow start. They lost their last game vs. a decent Oklahoma State team. Texas has played well against Texas Tech wiining the last 6 meetings by 9, 32, 10, 10, 6 and 16 points. Texas Tech started well but has lost its last four games by 29, 23, 18 and 8 points. I think we see the Mack Brown's Texas Longhorns win and cover on Thanksgiving. Texas wins by 7 to 10 points. 10* Texas -4 | |||||||
11-23-13 | Arizona State v. UCLA +3 | Top | 38-33 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 30 m | Show |
UCLA +3 Take the home dog as UCLA is undefeated at home and beat Washington 41-31 last week. UCLA is playing well as they have added Myles Jack to play running back and QB Brett Hundley has had more time to throw with the ground game being more efficient. Arizona State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 at UCLA and 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings. ASU on the road: won at Utah by 1 won at WSU by 34 lost at ND by 3 lost at Stanford by 14 Look for UCLA to win a close one tonight. 10* UCLA +3 | |||||||
11-23-13 | Cincinnati v. Houston -3 | Top | 24-17 | Loss | -120 | 72 h 42 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Houston 1pm Saturday 10* Houston -3 Cincy is playing their 3rd road game in 4 weeks and have played a fairly weak schedule. They did win big last week vs. Rutgers but this Houston team crushed the Scarlet Knights as well. Houston has been a team that I have had success with this year as they have played solid teams like Central Florida, Louisville and BYU. Houston QB John O'Korr has been good. The Cougars are 8-1 ATS so far in 2013 and are good on defense as well. Cin 17 Houston 27 10* Houston -3 | |||||||
11-23-13 | Virginia +20.5 v. Miami (Florida) | Top | 26-45 | Win | 100 | 20 h 6 m | Show |
Take Virginia +20.5 as Miami has struggled since their poor outing vs. FSU. They lost at Duke and RB Duke Johnson has suffered an injury. QB Stephen Morris has been erratic. Virginia is where Miami coach Al Golden was a few years ago so the Cavaliers under new coach Mike London should be focused. UVA played well in their opener vs. BYU but poorly since then but I think Virginia can stay within 3 TD's. 5* Virginia +20.5 | |||||||
11-20-13 | Northern Illinois -2 v. Toledo | Top | 35-17 | Win | 100 | 20 h 55 m | Show |
NI -2 Most places have this at -2.5. NI is 10-0 and Toledo is 7-3 straight up. Toledo is the home team and slight underdog as NI has won the last three years by 31-24, 63-60 and 65-30. NI has scored 59, 63 and 59 in the last 3 weeks. QB Jordan Lynch seems to find a way to win by running or passing his way to victory. Toledo RB Fluellan may play but won't be 100%. Look for the Huskies to by by 7 points and cover. 10* NI -2 | |||||||
11-16-13 | Houston +17 v. Louisville | Top | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 27 h 3 m | Show |
Take Houston at +17 Louisville lost to a good passing team like Central Florida at home after jumping out to a big lead. The Cardinals are a solid team with QB Terry Bridgewater leading the way but they have underperformed after losing. Houston has played well this year and led by a freshman QB who has made the big plays. Houston only lost to BYU by one point and won easily at Rutgers. They look to bounce back after a loss at Central Florida. I think Louisville win by 10 to 14 points but the underdog covers. 10* Houston +17 | |||||||
11-16-13 | North Carolina +1 v. Pittsburgh | Top | 34-27 | Win | 100 | 35 h 25 m | Show |
UNC has been hot lately as they beat Boston College and Virginia at home and won at NCSU. They should have beaten Miami but lost on a late score. QB Byrn is out with an injury but Marquise Williams scored on a pass, a run and threw a TD vs. the Cavaliers and should have confidence. The defense needs to step up and be motivated that they are 4-5 and in contention for a bowl bid. The Tar Heels have some receivers and AJ Blue is a nice runner. Pitt is an average team but QB Tom Savage is slow and like a statue. Pitt was tied with ODU late in the game. I think we see UNC win by 3 ot 7 points. Take UNC on Saturday. 10* UNC +1 | |||||||
11-13-13 | Ball State +8.5 v. Northern Illinois | Top | 27-48 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
Take the underdog +7.5. Most places have this at +7 but if you can find a +7.5 be sure to get that. Both teams are good as they are the class of the MAC and get to showcase their talents on national TV. NIU did advance to a nice bowl last year but lost by several TD's to FSU. Ball State is able to run and pass under QB Keith Wenning and they only lost 41-38 at NIU back in 2011. I think we see a 38-33 type of game so take the underdog. 10* Ball State +7.5 | |||||||
11-09-13 | Virginia Tech +7 v. Miami (Florida) | Top | 42-24 | Win | 100 | 77 h 5 m | Show |
Take Va Tech +7 as Frank Beamer is the winniest coach still active in college football. Logan Thomas is a senior and should be able to step up against a Miami team that should suffer a letdown after a bad loss to FSU as they were outgained by 200 yards and have RB Duke Johnson injured. QB Stephen Morris has been average and the Hokies are in the top 10 in defensive stats like points allowed, rushing yards and passing yards. Defense and motivation for the Hokies bad loss in Boston should help Beamer's team. The FG kicker has struggled for VT so let's hope he can make one if needed. I think we see a 21-20 type of game. 10* VT +7 | |||||||
11-09-13 | Tulane +9 v. Texas San Antonio | Top | 7-10 | Win | 100 | 63 h 33 m | Show |
Take Tulane +9 Tulane has played well this year but stunk last week at FAU. They jumped ahead and then lost as Nick Montana (Joe's son) tossed 3 interceptions. Montana's backup (Powell) has done well in certain games such as the home OT win over ECU about a month ago. RB Orleans Darka has been solid and so has the defense of the Green Wave. UTSA is coached by Larry Coker who was at Miami. They are not eligible for a bowl and have won just one home game but have played some good teams. They beat UAB badly but Tulane looks to bounce back on Saturday and can stay within 9 points. 10* Tulane +9 | |||||||
11-07-13 | Oklahoma +15 v. Baylor | Top | 12-41 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 34 m | Show |
Take OU as the Sooners won last year at home by about a touchdown. OU has a decent QB (Bell), solid running game, good coach (Stoops) and athletes on defense. Baylor has been great at home but has beaten teams like Buffalo, West Va and Iowa State, not Texas, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. Then Baylor QB (Petty) and coach Art Briles are a nice offensive combo and the Bears' defense is better but I think the Sooners will be motivated to go to Baylor and play well and stay within 14 points. 10* Oklahoma +15 | |||||||
11-05-13 | Bowling Green v. Miami (OH) +23.5 | Top | 45-3 | Loss | -106 | 28 h 54 m | Show |
Take Miami +23.5 Miami is 0-8 overall but their home losses were by 7 to Akron, 12 to CMU and by 14 to Cincy. The last two years have seen BG win by 25 and 14 points. The Miami Ohio home games have been low scoring and BG has seen unders 8-0 last 8 after an ATS loss so we should see a low scoring game with the total set at 46. QB Boucher was 23 of 34 in a recent game but theRed Hawks have struggled to run and they may hurt them. They did lose by 7 at UMass but should be motivated being on national TV. BG is 4-1 at home but just 1-2 on the road. All we need is a 31-13 type of game to stay within the number. Take Miami Ohio +23.5 and good luck as always! 5* Miami Ohio +23.5 | |||||||
11-02-13 | Miami (Florida) v. Florida State OVER 61.5 | Top | 14-41 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 30 m | Show |
over 61.5 FSU is at home and ranked third behind Alabama and Oregon. They need a statement game vs. their state rival. QB Jameis Winston has been solid at home and on the road. The team has jumped ahead and allowed the opponents to score as we saw in the NCSU game. Miami has a decent but erratic QB and running back Duke Johnson has been injury prone lately but the Hurricanes should be able to provide some points to help this get over. over 61.5 | |||||||
11-02-13 | Illinois v. Penn State -10.5 | Top | 17-24 | Loss | -106 | 37 h 42 m | Show |
PSU -10.5 Penn State is off a bad loss at Ohio State but I expect them to bounce back at home vs. a bad defensive team like Illinois. The Nittany Lions have done well under their new coach (Bill O'Brien) in bouncing back after losses and it is no shame in losing in the Buckeye State to OSU. The Illini lost 35-7 at home to Penn State last year. I think we see PSU win by 14 to 17 points and cover the 10.5 to -11. PSU was -10 for most of the week. Thanks and good luck to all as we hope to bounce back after some recent losses. 10* Penn State -10.5 | |||||||
11-02-13 | Virginia Tech -4 v. Boston College | Top | 27-34 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 41 m | Show |
Take Virginia Tech -4. The Hokies won last year by 7 in overtime. VT lost at home to Duke last week but missed 2 FG's and QB Logan Thomas had 4 int's. BC played poorly and lost at UNC after the Tar Heels had lost 4 in a row. BC does have an experienced QB (Chase Rettig) and solid RB (Williams) but the Hokies were able to win at ECU 15-10 to shut down QB Shane Carden and won 17-10 at Georgia Tech, which was impressive. I think we see Thomas play better and the VT defense step up and the road team win by 10 points. VT 24-14. 10* Virginia Tech -4 | |||||||
11-02-13 | Illinois v. Penn State OVER 54 | Top | 17-24 | Loss | -106 | 2 h 30 m | Show |
I think we see plenty of points today with PSU leading the way. This game does start at 12 noon so take note. I think we see at least 60 points. This total should go up. 10* over 54 | |||||||
11-01-13 | USC v. Oregon State UNDER 53 | Top | 31-14 | Win | 100 | 22 h 50 m | Show |
Under 53 USC has played some good defense after changing coaches a few weeks ago. They helped us win a nice under play last week in a 19-3 game with Utah. Their game with Notre Dame ended with 24 (14-10) points scored and an earlier game with Boston College was 35-7 (42 points). The Trojans did play one game that was close to 100 points scored. Oregon State has a solid offense but last week's game with Stanford was 20-12 (32 points) but other games this year were in the 60, 76, 61 and 64 points range. I won't be shocked by a high score but think we see USC slow it down and try not to get into a run and gun game with the Beavers. 10* under 53 | |||||||
10-31-13 | South Florida v. Houston -17.5 | Top | 23-35 | Loss | -107 | 43 h 58 m | Show |
Houston -17.5 Take the home team as they are undefeated ATS and playing solid offense, defense and special teams. QB John O'Korr has been playing well for a freshamn and they have just won at Rutgers and played a 45-44 game vs. a good BYU team at home and covered the +7. USF will struggle to keep up and Houston needs to win and ensure a nice bowl bid. Houston wins by 21 to 24 points. * Houston -17.5 | |||||||
10-26-13 | Colorado State v. Hawaii OVER 54.5 | Top | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
Take the over. 54.5 is at one book but most places have it at 55. The game last year between these two ended up going over 52 (total set for that game) as it was 42-27 (69 points). Hawaii's last 3 games reached 76 with UNLV, 64 with San Jose State and 79 with Fresno State. The Rainbows have 4 overs, 1 under and a push. Colorado State's last 3 games have seen totals of 74, 61 and 101. Hopefully, both teams can contribute points and get this game near 60 points. Thanks for your purchase and good luck...as always from RED DOG SPORTS. | |||||||
10-26-13 | Texas +2.5 v. TCU | Top | 30-7 | Win | 100 | 20 h 30 m | Show |
Texas +2 at TCU Saturday 7:30pm ET Look for Texas to win outright as they are 20-2 SU and 14-7-1 ATS vs. TCU. Mack Brown's team seems to be playing better and they did replace their defensive coordinator (Manny Diaz) with Greg Robinson earlier in the year after a loss to BYU. TCU starting QB may not play and if he does he won't be 100%. TCU is well coached by Gary Patterson but not the strong defensive team they were several years ago. Texas has been running the ball well and playing solid defense lately. Look for a close game with the Longhorns winning on the road. Texas 24 TCU 21 3* Texas +2 | |||||||
10-26-13 | Boston College +7.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 10-34 | Loss | -114 | 74 h 40 m | Show |
BC at UNC 3:30pm Saturday pick: Boston College +7.5 BC is off a bye. In their last game, they led at Clemson 14-10 in the second half but ended up losing 24-14. They stayed with Florida State at home as they lost by 14 points. QB Chase Rettig had 4 TD passes in that home game. Andre Williams ran for 149 yards vs. the Seminoles. UNC just lost at home to Miami by allowing a late TD. QB Bryn Renner and his backup played well but the running game still misses Gio Bernard. UNC has lost 4 in a row overall .......and here are their last 5 home games: lost by 4 to Miami lost by 24 to ECU won by 20 over MTSU won by 7 over Md lost by 18 to GT Midnight Madness will be at the Dean Dome on Friday night and this football game will be Saturday afternoon. The Tar Heels face instate rival NC State (only 30 minutes away) next week. It does concern me that BC is just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games and their game at USC was a disaster but the Eagles should be able to keep it close under the leadership of Chase Rettig and a solid running game of Williams (who had 263 yards/5 TD's vs. Army. I have seen some 7's and 7.5's so shop around. Boston College +7.5 | |||||||
10-26-13 | Houston +7 v. Rutgers | Top | 49-14 | Win | 100 | 35 h 31 m | Show |
10* Houston +7 Rutgers is off a close loss to Louisville by 14 points. At home they defeated Arkansas 28-24 and beat a weak Eastern Michigan team. Houston has QB John O'Korn. He is young but has a strong arm. The Cougars lost a close one at home to BYU 47-46 and we had Houston + points in that one. I think we see a game where Houston stays within 7 points. My guess is 28-24. 10* Houston +7 | |||||||
10-25-13 | Boise State v. BYU UNDER 61 | Top | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show |
Take under 61 These two played a 7-6 game last year. BSU lost QB Joe Southwich to an injury so their backup will be on the field. BYU likes to run the ball but BSU only allows 3.4 yards per carry. BYU did play a high scoring game with Houston last week that ended with 93 points but others ended with 58, 45, 47, 33, 61 and 35 points. I think we see a game in the mid 50's that stays under. 10* under 61 | |||||||
10-24-13 | Kentucky v. Mississippi State UNDER 56 | Top | 22-28 | Win | 100 | 43 h 12 m | Show |
Kentucky vs. Miss State 7:30pm Thursday pick: under 56 I played UNC/Miami under the total last week on Thursday night and got a nice win. The under is 12-4 so far in Thursday night games (not including the opening week). The last 5 meetings between these two have seen 41, 44, 41, 55 and 44 points. The Kentucky versus Louisville game only reached 40 points. This was at 57 earlier but down to 56 at most books. 10 units under 56 | |||||||
10-22-13 | Louisiana-Lafayette v. Arkansas State UNDER 68 | Top | 23-7 | Win | 100 | 22 h 16 m | Show |
Under the total. Both teams are undefeated in conference and do have strong offenses but this will be played on an odd day of the week (Tuesday) that they are not used to playing on. These two did play a 50-27 game last year but it was 30-21 back in 2011 and 31-24 in 2010. Being on national TV both teams could focus on playing better defense. 68 is a high total and they could surpass it but I like our chances with an under tonight in this college football game. 10* under 68 | |||||||
10-19-13 | Oregon State -10.5 v. California | Top | 49-17 | Win | 100 | 21 h 52 m | Show |
Take OSU -10.5 as people are overlooking the Beavers due to Oregon Ducks great start. Oregon State is led by a great QB (Shawn Minnion) and WR Cooks and both of those are from California and will be focused for this one. Cal has played poorly and struggled ATS. I think we see Oregon State win and cover. Oregon State 37 Cal 20 10* Oregon State -10.5 | |||||||
10-19-13 | Maryland v. Wake Forest +6 | Top | 10-34 | Win | 100 | 49 h 36 m | Show |
Take the home underdog. WF has been off and had a chance to heal. They won their last home game vs. NC State by 28-13 as the Deacons are led by upperclassmen (QB) Tanner Price, RB Josh Harris and WR Micahel Campanero. WF coach Jim Grobe can tie Peahead Walker (what a name) as the winningest coach at Wake Forest. He is one game under .500 and can move to .500 with a victory. Maryland just played a close game with Virginia and allowed over 500 yards. The Terps used a backup QB since CJ Brown was injued in the bad loss (63-0) at FSU. Look for a 24-21 type of game. Take Wake Forest. 10* WF +6 | |||||||
10-19-13 | BYU v. Houston +10 | Top | 47-46 | Win | 100 | 14 h 60 m | Show |
Take the underdog. Houston is 9-4 ATS at home in the last 13 while BYU is off a home game vs. a running team (Ga Tech) and the Cougars play Boise State next Friday, so they may belooking ahead. The Houston program should be proud with Case Keenan starting in the NFL this week. I doin't know if Houston can win but they should stay within 7. 10* Houston +10 | |||||||
10-17-13 | Miami (Florida) v. North Carolina UNDER 64.5 | Top | 27-23 | Win | 101 | 32 h 25 m | Show |
Take under 64.5 in this Thursday night game. Miami is good offensive and defensive team. UNC will wear black uniforms and be focused for this national TV game. These two played an ugly 18-16 under last year. The total was set at 71 last year. UNC has been down with an injury to QB Bryn Renner and missing RB Gio Bernard. Miami has solid QB Stephen Morris and RB Duke Johnson. UNC allowed 55 points at home to ECU and should play better this week. Miami has one of the best defenses in points allowed and efficiency. All we need is a slow quarter and some field goals and we have a 34-24 game that stays under. 10* under 64.5 | |||||||
10-12-13 | East Carolina v. Tulane +10 | Top | 33-36 | Win | 100 | 73 h 9 m | Show |
ECU plays at Tulane on Saturday at 3:30pm. Tulane's QB is Nick Montana, son of Hall of Famer Joe Montana. They played a 28-23 game last year. The game will be at the Super Dome where ECU played their bowl game. Cooper was injured last week and doubtful for Saturday's game. This will be ECU's third straight road game which can be tough on a team. Tulane is 4-2 and 2-0 in C-USA. They are coached by former New Orleans Saints asst. coach Curtis Johnson. Their leading runner is named Orleans Darka. It should be a close game. Tulane did lose badly at Syracuse 52-17 but another loss was by 2 points. ECU does have a solid QB in Shane Carden and WR James Hardy. Look for a 28-21 type of game so take the underdog +10 playing at home vs. a team in their third straight road game. 10* Tulane +10 | |||||||
10-12-13 | Baylor v. Kansas State +17.5 | Top | 35-25 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
Take Kansas State plus the points. Baylor is great but they will be playing their first road game. Here are the Baylor road games for last year: at Okla lost by 8 at Iowa St lost by 14 at Texas lost by 6 at WB lost by 7 at ULM won by 5 Kansas State is 2-1 at home with a 3 point loss to NDSU and led by Waters, Sams and Hubert, WR Lockett is questionable and he had 13 catches for 237 yards in a recent game. I hope to see Bill Snyder step up as a coach and find a way to slow down Art Briles Baylor Bears. Take Kansas State at +17.5. 10* KSt +17.5 | |||||||
10-05-13 | Missouri -2 v. Vanderbilt | Top | 51-28 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show |
Take Missouri as they lost to Vandy last year in a low scoring game but they suffered some key injuries last year and should be motivated. Their QB is 100% and has the ability to run and pass. I think we see Mo. win by 7 and cover on the road in Nashville. Mo 30 Vandy 21 10* Mo -2 | |||||||
10-05-13 | North Carolina State v. Wake Forest +7.5 | Top | 13-28 | Win | 100 | 25 h 54 m | Show |
NCSU at Wake Forest 3:30pm Saturday Wake Forest +7.5 NCSU is 3-1 and plays their first road game on Saturday. The Wolfpack have lost their last 5 at Wake Forest and lost 34-27 back in 2011. The Deacons are led by QB Tanner Price, RB Josh Harris and WR Michael Campanero, and all 3 were key components to WF's win two years ago. The NCSU QB (Thomas) has just one TD pass to go with 5 interceptions. They were almost upset by Richmond. They won 23-21 as Thomas threw 2 int's with 0 TD's vs. the Spiders. The home team is 15-2 straight up (14-3 ATS) in the last 17 meetings and NCSU is 0-12 ATS in their last 12 games as an ACC favorite on the road. The line has dropped down several points to +7.5. Hopefully, we see a motivated Jim Grobe squad playing an instate rival on Saturday afternoon. Wake did win at Army but took a severe beating at Clemson last week. Can Wake win outright? Wake Forest +7.5 | |||||||
10-05-13 | Ball State +6 v. Virginia | Top | 48-27 | Win | 100 | 61 h 46 m | Show |
Take Ball State +6 Most places have it +5.5. Virginia is at home and has averaged just 11 ppg vs. lined teams. They did beat VMI badly in an unlined game. The Cavs are next to last in passing and QB Watford has a rather weak arm. The team does drop quite a few passes. Ball State can run and pass well. Both are over 250 ypg as QB Keith Wenning has experience and they can run the ball with Edwards. I think we see a 21-17 type of game. 10* Ball State +6 | |||||||
09-28-13 | Navy -2.5 v. Western Kentucky | Top | 7-19 | Loss | -115 | 62 h 56 m | Show |
Take Navy -2.5 as they are off a bye and lead the nation in rushing and led by QB Keenan Reynolds, who can run and pass as well. Western Ky allows 5.1 yards per carry while the Naval Academy is at 6.0 yards per carry. Look for the visitors to win by 10 to 14 points and cover the samll number. Navy 34 Western Ky 23 10* Navy -2.5 | |||||||
09-26-13 | Virginia Tech +7 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 44 h 43 m | Show |
Take VT +7 as the Hokies do have a solid defense as they showed vs. ECU and were able to slow down Marshall's QB Raheem Cato and prevent 0 points in 3 OT's. GT does have a good coach in Paul Johnson and solid QB in Vad Lee. Logan Thomas has experience at QB for the Hokies and Frank Beamer leads all active coaches in wins. GT wins by 4 and VT covers. 10* Va Tech +7 | |||||||
09-21-13 | Michigan State v. Notre Dame UNDER 42.5 | Top | 13-17 | Win | 100 | 109 h 25 m | Show |
Take under 42.5 on Saturday. MSU plays great defense as we have seen them play games of 39 and 27 points with their opponent. They did have a high scoring blowout win this past week. ND and MSU played a 20-3 game last year and ended under 44 points. Look for another under on Saturday. 10* under 42.5 | |||||||
09-21-13 | North Texas +34 v. Georgia | Top | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 37 h 54 m | Show |
Take North Texas +34 as the Georgia Bulldogs are off a bye and will play SEC rival LSU next week. NT has played Alabama, Indiana, Kansas State and Houston in recent years and stayed within the number. QB Derek Thompson has a strong arm and can run too. He has experience in the system. Georgia played some small schools last year like Buffalo and FAU and they stayed within the big number. Aaron Murray is a great QB but the defense is a little shakey and backups should be in the game in the 4th quarter. This game starts early afternoon and it may take the home team awhile to get started. 10* North Texas +34 | |||||||
09-14-13 | Mississippi State v. Auburn -6 | Top | 20-24 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 52 m | Show |
Take Auburn -6 to avenge last year's loss. Gus Malzahn is back with Auburn and should be able to score 24 to 30 points at home with their running and passing. Gus was there when they won the title with Cam Newton. MSU under Mullen has underachieved in the last few years. They get off to a fast start and disappoint their fans. I like Auburn to win by 10 to 14 and cover. 15* Auburn -6 | |||||||
09-14-13 | Virginia Tech v. East Carolina +7.5 | Top | 15-10 | Win | 100 | 73 h 25 m | Show |
Take ECU +7.5 as the Pirates are at home. They are 21-19 SU with their coach Ruffin McNeill. The Pirates have QB Shane Carden, RB Cooper and WR James Hardy as well as a solid O-line. Their defense has improved this year and they are 7-1 SU in the last 8 home games. VT is well coached under Beamer but Logan Thomas has struggled at QB. They have played Alabama and lost 35-10 and played a cupcake last week at home. Look for ECU to stay within 7.5 points on Saturday. 10* ECU +7.5 | |||||||
09-12-13 | Tulane +7 v. Louisiana Tech | Top | 24-15 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
Take the underdog as Tulane is led by Nick Montana (son of Joe Montana). The Green Wave are off a 41-39 close loss last week and look to bounce back against La Tech, who are 0-8 SU vs. their opponent. I think we see a close game in the 28-27 range so take the underdog on Thursday night. LT 28 Tulane 27 10* Tulane +7 | |||||||
09-07-13 | Old Dominion v. Maryland OVER 62 | Top | 10-47 | Loss | -110 | 40 h 56 m | Show |
Go with the over. ODU has a great QB in Heineike and a small defense that allowed 52 last week at ECU in a 52-38 game. That was 90 points. Maryland was down to their fifth QB last year but last week QB Brown was solid running and passing. Look for close to 70 points or more. over 62 | |||||||
09-07-13 | Utah State v. Air Force +10 | Top | 52-20 | Loss | -115 | 40 h 21 m | Show |
college football Utah State at Air Force 3:30pm Saturday 10* Air Force +10 Air Force plays their second home game while Utah State plays second road game. AF coach Calhoun is 28-9 straight up at home and 4-1 as an underdog. Both Lee and Hart ran for 100 yards for the Falcons. Their top QB Pearson was injured but J. Awini played well as his backup. Scouts are high on his ability. Take the home underdog. 10* Air Force +10 | |||||||
09-01-13 | Ohio +21 v. Louisville | Top | 7-49 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 0 m | Show |
Take Ohio +21. The Bobcats have QB Tyler Tettleton, whose dad Mickey played catcher in the major leagues for years. Ohio did upset Penn State two years ago. Louisville should win by 14 to 17 points but take the +21 and wager on the underdog. 10* Ohio +21 | |||||||
08-31-13 | Wyoming +31 v. Nebraska | Top | 34-37 | Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show |
The Wyoming QB played against Nebraska in their 38-14 loss a few years back. The Cowboys were just 4-8 last year but should be able to score enough to stay within the lasrge number that is set at 31. Wyo 13 Neb 41 10* Wyoming +31 | |||||||
08-31-13 | Toledo +24 v. Florida | Top | 6-24 | Win | 100 | 188 h 42 m | Show |
Florida Atlantic at Miami Aug. 30 at 8pm 1* FAU +32.5 Miami plays FSU next and should be looking ahead. These schools are about 50 miles apart so FAU will be motivated to keep it respectable. Toledo at Florida Sat. Aug. 31 at 12:20pm 10* Toledo +24 Toledo is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 as a road underdog. They lost by only 7 last year in OT to Arizona. They almost upset Ohio State back in 2011 as they lost just 27-22 in Columbus. They do return senior QB Terrance Owens and RB David Fluellen (1498 yards and 12 TD's). Florida is just 1-6 ATS as double digit favorites under Muschamp. Florida may look ahead as they play at Miami (Fla) next. Take Toledo +24 | |||||||
08-30-13 | Florida Atlantic +32 v. Miami (Florida) | Top | 6-34 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
FAU at Miami #151/152 8pm 10* FAU +32 I think Miami will be looking ahead to their next game with rival Florida. Florida Atlantic will be focused since they are located less than one hour from Coral Gables. Carl Pellini coaches the FAU Owls while Al Golden is in charge of Miami. Golden has a nice offense that can pass as well as run the ball but FAU played both Georgia and Alabama of the SEC last year and covered both games. My guess is that FAU will stay within 24 to 30 points and cover the large number. FAU 13 Miami 42 10* FAU +32 | |||||||
08-29-13 | North Carolina v. South Carolina UNDER 57.5 | Top | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 19 h 41 m | Show |
UNC at USC #133/134 6pm 10* under 57.5 Take the under on Thursday night. It is the opener for both teams and it may take awhile to get going. South Carolina is led by superstar defensive player Jadeveon Clowney, who should slow down the Tar Heel offense and rush quarterback Bryn Renner. The Gamecocks like to run the ball and that should use up plenty of clock. USC is well coached by Steve Spurrier and he will try to confuse UNC with different looks on defense. I think we see a game in the low 50's that stays under. 10* under 57.5 | |||||||
01-07-13 | Alabama v. Notre Dame +10 | Top | 42-14 | Loss | -130 | 19 h 5 m | Show |
Take Notre Dame plus 10 points. This looks to be a close game and both teams have been off for a month. Nick Saban's team should win and collect their third title in four years but Notre Dame has a great defense and can slow down AJ McCarren (Tide QB). My guess is we see a 21-17 type of game. Alabama 21 Notre Dame 17 10* Notre Dame +10 | |||||||
01-06-13 | Arkansas State -3.5 v. Kent State | Top | 17-13 | Win | 100 | 23 h 50 m | Show |
Take Arkansas State -3.5 The Red Wolves ended on a 7-1 run and even covered at Oregon early in the year. The Ark. State QB is very good as he can run and pass. Gus Malzahn did a solid job this year as he was with Auburn when Cam Newton led them to a national title a few years ago. Kent State lost to NIU in the MAC title game and a chance for the BCS bid. I think that the favorite will play well in the Go Daddy bowl and end up winning by 10 points and covering. Ark State 34 Kent State 24 10* Arkansas State -3.5 | |||||||
01-04-13 | Texas A&M v. Oklahoma +3.5 | Top | 41-13 | Loss | -120 | 20 h 6 m | Show |
We had a nice winner with Kansas State/Oregon under last night. Bob Stoops is a good coach at Oklahoma. The Sooners were down a little this year but are underdogs agianst a decent A&M team that is led by Heisman Trophy winner Johnny "Football" Manziel. He is just a freshman and never played in a bowl game. Landry Jones is the Sooner QB who had some problems this year. He should be able to complete enough passes and have the team run the well. I think the underdog lable will motivate Oklahoma. Take the Sooners +3.5 | |||||||
01-03-13 | Kansas State v. Oregon UNDER 76 | Top | 17-35 | Win | 100 | 32 h 55 m | Show |
Take under 76 Both teams have been off for about a month. Oregon is a solid offensive team led by coach Chip Kelly, who may be moving to the NFL. To get to 76 points both teams will need to score often. All it takes is for one off quarter or for one team not to show up and we have a game in the 60's. I think we see a 38-30 type of game where both teams play well but it stays under by about a touchdown. under 76 | |||||||

Mississippi State vs. Northwestern 12 noon 10* Northwestern -1 The Gator Bowl should be a good one. I was able to watch Miss State play several games this year and they were very good at home and they do play in the strong SEC. However, Northwestern did go 10-1 ATS and seemed to find a way to win or stay close in the Big Ten, which was solid this year with Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State and Minnesota. I like for the Wildcats to stay close and win late. NW 27 Miss State 24 10* Northwestern -1 | |||||||
12-29-12 | Navy +14 v. Arizona State | Top | 28-62 | Loss | -109 | 41 h 34 m | Show |
Navy vs. Arizona State 4pm 15* Navy +14 I like the Navy plus two touchdowns on Saturday. Arizona State is a solid team under Todd Graham but Navy can control the clock on the ground and wear down an opposing team. Navy missed out on a bowl last year but went to postseason action 11 years in a row before that. The Navy used Trey Miller at QB until replacing him with Keenan Reynolds, who can run and pass the ball well. He is a young player who doesn't get rattled often. I do worry that the Navy defense will give up a ton of yards but hope for some field goals from the Sun Devils. I think we see their defense bend but not break on Saturday. Take Navy plus the points and good luck! ASU 37 Navy 27 15* Navy +14 | |||||||
12-28-12 | Rutgers v. Virginia Tech -2 | Top | 10-13 | Win | 100 | 18 h 29 m | Show |
I think we see Logan Thomas play well. The tall QB led Virginia Tech to a 6-6 record and was a disappointment to the Hokies under Frank Beamer. Rutgers is an average team from the Big East that did play well vs. Cincy and Louisville but I think we see a close game with the Hokies winning by 3 to 7 points. All we need is a field goal to win and cover. Va Tech -2 | |||||||
12-27-12 | Cincinnati v. Duke +7 | Top | 48-34 | Loss | -101 | 76 h 7 m | Show |
Take Duke +7 as they will be playing in Charlotte and have 15 players from that area. Duke is also located in the state of North Carolina and will be happy to play in a bowl for the first time since 1994. They are well coached by David Cutcliffe, who tutored Peyton Manning while at Tennessee. Duke does have a senior QB in Sean Renfree and all-ACC WR Connor Vernon. Their offensice line has plenty of experience and the Blue Devils should be well rested after injuries and bad losses late in the year to Miami, Clemson and FSU. Cincinnati lost their coach as he moved to another program. They exchanged QB's in midseason. They are a decent team and will probably win but I think Duke stays within 7 to cover. 10* Duke +7 | |||||||
12-24-12 | SMU +12.5 v. Fresno State | Top | 43-10 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show |
Take the underdog SMU Mustangs. FSU was tough this year ATS (Against The Spread). SMU is coached by June Jones, who used to caoch at Hawaii, which is where this bowl game will be played. SMU is able to run the ball well and that will help control some time on the clock. SMU was able to win their last bowl by 45-10 as the team was prepared. Let's hope they are happy to be in Hawaii on Christmas Eve and can stay within 10 points. SMU +12.5 | |||||||
12-08-12 | Georgia Southern v. Old Dominion -1 | Top | 49-35 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 45 m | Show |
These two played a small college playoff game last year with Georgia Southern winning at home but now they travel to Norfolk, Va to face the Monarchs at Foreman Filed/SB Ballard Stadium. Ga Southern is known for running the ball while ODU's QB Tyler Heineke has been close to unstoppable in the air. He set a record with 730 passing yards vs. New Hampshire. I expect a high scoring game and all we need is for ODU won win by more than one point on Saturday. ODU 48-42 | |||||||
12-01-12 | Alabama -7.5 v. Georgia | Top | 32-28 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 7 m | Show |
Alabama vs. Georgia 4pm pick: Alabama -7' These teams meet in the Georgia Dome and Saturday. The Crimson Tide travels well and should have plenty of fans. Mark Richt of Georgia is a step below Nick Saban, who has won two national titles. Alabama has a great defense and should be able to contain the Bulldogs. Alabama's QB AJ McCraron is steady at the helm for the Tide and their running game has several key backs to pound the defense of Georgia and keep their offense off the field. I think we see Alabama win by 10-14 points. Al 30 Georgia 14 10* Alabama -7' | |||||||
11-24-12 | South Carolina v. Clemson -3.5 | Top | 27-17 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 46 m | Show |
Red Dog Sports South Carolina at Clemson 7pm Saturday 10* Clemson -3.5 Seen it at -3.5 and -4. Clemson is at home against South Carolina. They are rivals from the same state and the Gamecocks have won the recent battles and come from a better conference. But if you look at the last two road games for USC they lost at Florida 44-11 and lost at LSU by 2 points. Clemson lost at Florida State earlier in the year but did score 37 points. They were able to beat Va Tech and Ga Tech at home by more than 14 points and have scored 62, 45, 56, 42, 38, 47, 45, 37, 31 and 52 points in their games. They will not be in the ACC title game and this should motivate them against USC who is without running back Marcus Lattimore due to an injury. Clemson Tigers are led by QB Taj Boyd and WR Sammy Watkins. I like Clemson to win and cover. 10* Clemson -3.5 | |||||||
11-20-12 | Akron +19 v. Toledo | Top | 23-35 | Win | 100 | 18 h 11 m | Show |
Take Akron +19 as I expect to see a close game on Tuesday night. Akron's QB Dalton Williams has played well in games but usually ends up losing with the bad defense of the Zips. Toledo is a decent team that can score and give up points. I think we see a game in the 37-23 range where the Zips stay within the high number. Akron 23 Toledo 37 10* Akron +19 | |||||||
11-17-12 | Iowa State v. Kansas +5.5 | Top | 51-23 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 54 m | Show |
Iowa State at Kansas (college football) 7pm eastern (Saturday) pick: Kansas +5.5 These two played a 13-10 game last year. Iowa State is 5-5 and aiming to get their 6th win to become bowl eligible. Kansas is just 1-9 but has played decent at home: lost 21-17 to Texas lost 20-14 to Okla State lost 20-6 to TCU lost 25-24 to Rice Kansas has a decent running game with James Sims getting over 100 yards in the last 6 games while Pierson had 202 yards at Texas Tech. Iowa State has won just one of its last 5 games and one reason was the injury to LB Jake Knott. Kansas should be able to run the ball without Knott on the field. Kansas is coached by Charlie Weis, who was at Notre Dame and was an assistant at New England. Their QB is not very good so let's hope the Jayhawks can run the ball and their defense plays well. I hope to see a 20-17 type of game. GL! 10* Kansas +5.5 | |||||||
11-17-12 | Wake Forest +24 v. Notre Dame | Top | 0-38 | Loss | -110 | 100 h 59 m | Show |
Wake Forest at Notre Dame 3:30 Saturday 10* Wake Forest +24 These two played last year and it was tied 17-17 in the 4th quarter till Notre Dame scored with 9 minutes to go and won 24-17. Wake Forest is 5-5 but they do have an experienced QB named Tanner Price along with receiver Michael Campanero and runner Josh Harris. Notre Dame is 10-0 and just beat Boston College 21-6. The last home game we won with Pitt +17 as Notre Dame won in overtime by just 3 points after being behind most of the game. Notre Dame plays USC next and will lokk ahead to facing them. Take Wake Forest +24 as they have a solid coach named Jim Grobe who should get his team motivated for next Saturday. Wake Forest +24 | |||||||
11-14-12 | Toledo +10 v. Northern Illinois | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show |
Toledo has won 7 of 8 games and their only loss was by 7 points. Norhtern Illinois is a tough home team and there should be plenty of points but I like the underdog getting 10 points. Toledo 32 N ILL 36 10* Toledo +10 | |||||||
11-10-12 | Notre Dame v. Boston College UNDER 49.5 | Top | 21-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 4 m | Show |
Take under 49.5. Notre Dame's defense will control the BC offense and I don't think the Irish will explode for too many points. Maybe end up in the mid-40's so take the under. ND 30 BC 10 | |||||||
11-10-12 | Navy v. Troy | Top | 31-41 | Loss | -105 | 138 h 22 m | Show |
Red Dog Sports Saturday Navy at Troy 3:30 Saturday 3* Navy (pick'em) (even) Take Navy on Saturday. Navy has won their last 5 games.They are now 6-3. Troy comes from a small conference and just lost a close game at Tennessee by 55-48. They have a good offense but have lost 3 of 4 games and are 4-5. They will be at home but did lose at Navy last year by 42-14. Their one win was a 1 point win. Navy should be able to run against them. This is listed as an even game (or pick'em) as of Sunday night. Take Navy to win. The Navy just beat a confence foe of Troy by 24-17 last week. Navy 31 Troy 24 | |||||||

FSU at Va Tech 7:30pm 10* Virginia Tech +14 Take the home team. FSU will probably win this game but it is rare to see the Hokies as home underdogs. Frank Beamer is the active winningest coach in college football. FSU on the road: at USF won by 13 at NCSU lost by 1 at Miami won by 13 They have lost the last two in Blacksburg by 11 and 19 points. Logan Thomas is just an average QB for Va Tech but they should stay within 10 to 12 points and cover. 10* Va Tech +14 | |||||||
11-03-12 | Florida Atlantic v. Navy OVER 50.5 | Top | 17-24 | Loss | -110 | 113 h 4 m | Show |
I like over 50.5. We won our total last week on Navy/ECU over 50 (it dropped to 47.5 due to the rain) and it ended with 84 points scored. The Navy started the year scoring 10 points vs. Notre Dame, 7 at Penn State and 0 vs. San Jose State. That was with Trey Miller at QB. Now they moved Keenan Reynolds to signal caller and they have scored 31, 31 and 56 points in the last three weeks. They get solid running from Gee Gee Greene and many others. FAU has played Georgia and Alabama so they have faced some good teams. They played a 56-20 (76) game with the Bulldogs. Senior QB Graham Wilbert is decent as he has had 27-41 for 303 yards/2 TD's as well as a 26-40 for 261 yards (4 TD's) in recent games. Jonathan Wallace ran for 101 yards in the last game and Jackson/Fortner have had solid games too. FAU last 2 games: Troy 61 points South Al 62 (before OT) The weather for Saturday looks to be in the 50's. Hopefully, we see a game in the 50's that goes over. over 50.5 | |||||||
11-01-12 | Virginia Tech -1.5 v. Miami (Florida) | Top | 12-30 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 5 m | Show |
Virginia Tech is still in the race for the ACC Coastal Division and led by Frank Beamer, who is the active leading in wins at the college level. Logan Thomas has disappointed but Miami is in worse shape. The Hurricanes are at home but have played poorly there except for a late win over NCSU about a month ago. I think we see the Hokies win by 7 and cover the small number. There won't be many Miami fans in attendance now that the team has been down. Miami 24 VT 30 | |||||||

10* Navy at East Carolina over 50.5 (3:30 SATURDAY) These two played a 38-35 (73 points) last year and 76-35 (101 points) back in 2010. Last week ECU won 42-35 while Navy and Indiana played a 31-30 score. Navy has just one over and 5 unders but have used a better QB in recent games. over 50 | |||||||
10-27-12 | Toledo v. Buffalo UNDER 59 | Top | 25-20 | Win | 100 | 25 h 53 m | Show |
The weather is expected to be cold and windy on Saturday in Buffalo. The Buffalo game with Piitsburgh ended with less than 30 points scored. Toledo does have a nice offense but I don't expect Buffalo to score many points and the wind will effect the passing game. I expect this total to drop before the start of the game. under 59 | |||||||
10-26-12 | Cincinnati v. Louisville -3.5 | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 45 m | Show |
Take the home team at -3.5. I twas -3 earlier. Cincy has won the last 4 meetings but the Bearcats are off a loss to Toledo in the Glass Bowl. QB Broadwater is solid for the Cards and led to a home win against UNC a month ago. Look for the home team to continue to win. LVille 27 Cin 20 | |||||||
10-25-12 | Clemson v. Wake Forest +12.5 | Top | 42-13 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 20 m | Show |
Take Wake Forest +12.5 The Deacons are at home and well coached by Jim Grobe. They only lost by a field goal at Clmson last year. They have a solid QB in Tanner Price and runner in Josh Harris. Clemson is great at home and led by QB Taj Boyd. I like Clemson by 7 to 10 points. 10* WF +12.5 | |||||||
10-20-12 | North Carolina v. Duke +10.5 | Top | 30-33 | Win | 100 | 48 h 3 m | Show |
UNC at Duke 7:00pm Oct. 20, 2012 10* Duke +10.5 These two are located just 10 miles apart in the middle of North Carolina. UNC is a better team with a better defense but Duke is at home and they have a solid QB in Sean Renefree. These teams are known lately for having the home team cover. Duke games are 10-1-1 ATS for the host while UNC is 10-1 ATS in its last 11. Duke is at home in Wallace Wade Stadium and they hope to become bowl eligible with another win after blowing a 20-0 lead at Va Tech. Duke may have to wait till they play Miami in the finale since their schedule includes some tough teams in the next few weeks. UNC does have a good offense led by Bryn Renner and running back Gio Bernard. Larry Fedora is an offensive coach. My guess is we see a 31-27 type of score. 10* Duke +10.5 | |||||||
10-20-12 | Boston College v. Georgia Tech -14 | Top | 17-37 | Win | 100 | 26 h 15 m | Show |
Georgia tech should run all over BC. Army ran for close to 350 yards a few weeks ago. Paul Johnson's team can run with the best of them and they need a win to go to a bowl. They just let go of Al Groh, who coached the defense. I expect to see a win by 21 points. GT 45 BC 21 | |||||||
10-20-12 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -17 | Top | 13-38 | Win | 100 | 23 h 17 m | Show |
Wisconsin is at home and running the ball well with Montae Bell. Minny just lost by 18 at Iowa. I think we see the home team get rolling and win by 21 and cover the big number of 17 Wisc 35 Minn 14 |
