08-31-23 | Nebraska v. Minnesota OVER 42.5 | 10-13 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
The latest Nebraska reboot begins Thursday night when the Cornhuskers visit Minnesota to open the 2023 season in a Big Ten Conference game in Minneapolis. Matt Rhule is the program's fourth full-time head coach in the past decade, taking over for Scott Frost, who was fired midway through the 2022 campaign after going 16-31 in four-plus seasons. Rhule returned to college after two-plus years coaching the NFL's Carolina Panthers, but he has experience in rebuilding collegiate programs with successful turnarounds at Temple and Baylor. Nebraska is coming off a 4-8 season in 2022, one in which it lost five games by one score. Minnesota went 9-4 last year and won five of its final six games, including a victory over Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl. The Golden Gophers have made bowl games in four of six seasons under P.J. Fleck, who is 44-27 with the school, and his three nine-win seasons are tied for second most in school history. | |||||||
08-31-23 | Florida v. Utah OVER 43.5 | Top | 11-24 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
Florida brings a new-to-them, experienced quarterback to Salt Lake City on Thursday night where seething No. 14 Utah stands ready to exact a measure of revenge for the Gators' 32-29 upset of the Utes in the 2022 opener. Only eight starters are back from the 2022 Florida team that beat ranked Utah last September, but an influx of transfers means UF is hardly inexperienced. The Gators introduce Graham Mertz, a transfer from Wisconsin, as the QB1 on Thursday night alongside a powerful companion that might be the more important crutch at Rice-Eccles Stadium. That would be the Gators' running game, which overpowered Utah in last year's tussle. Florida gained a program-record 531 rushing yards and then-quarterback Anthony Richardson scored three TDs. Richardson was the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, which is where Mertz fits into the plot line. But the Gators welcome back the running back tandem of Montrell Johnson Jr. and Trevor Etienne, who combined for 16 TDs last season, to offer proven production and continuity. | |||||||
01-09-23 | TCU v. Georgia UNDER 63 | 7-65 | Loss | -110 | 177 h 42 m | Show | |
This has always been a good spot to play the under, especially after the Horned Frogs are coming off a less than stellar performance on defense, which giving up 45 to Michigan qualifies. The under is 5-1 in the Bulldogs' last 6 bowl games. | |||||||
01-02-23 | Tulane v. USC UNDER 62.5 | Top | 46-45 | Loss | -110 | 143 h 13 m | Show |
Two 11-2 teams meet in the Cotton Bowl on Monday in Arlington, Texas, when No. 16 Tulane takes on No. 10 Southern California. Both squads are coming off appearances in their conference championship games. The Green Wave beat UCF for the American Athletic Conference crown, while the Trojans fell to Utah in the Pac-12's title bout. Tulane is playing in its fourth bowl game in the past five seasons, but this may be the biggest bowl game the Green Wave have played in since they faced Texas A&M in the 1940 Sugar Bowl. Tulane has a chance to win a New Year's Six bowl, beat a Power 5 opponent and achieve just the second 12-win season in program history. For USC, an appearance in the Cotton Bowl caps off a remarkable one-year turnaround under first-year head coach Lincoln Riley. The Trojans went 4-8 last season -- marking just the third time in program history that that USC took that many defeats. With Riley on the sideline and Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams at quarterback, the Trojans won double-digit games for the first time in five seasons. USC enters the Cotton Bowl with the nation's third-best scoring offense at 41.1 points per game. Williams sustained a hamstring injury in the loss to Utah but aims to play in the bowl game. | |||||||
12-31-22 | Ohio State v. Georgia UNDER 62.5 | Top | 41-42 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 7 m | Show |
Ohio State's blueprint for winning the College Football Playoff championship will be staring the No. 4 Buckeyes in the face when they play No. 1 Georgia in a semifinal game at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta on Saturday. The Buckeyes (11-1) are coming off a 45-23 thrashing by second-ranked Michigan on Nov. 26 in Columbus, Ohio, and are only in the playoffs thanks to Southern California losing to Utah in the Pac-12 championship game, enabling Ohio State to be awarded the final spot. Critics would say the Buckeyes don't deserve a shot at the Bulldogs (13-0) after being manhandled by the Wolverines for the second year in a row. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said his players understand their underdog role. "I see a team that realizes that not a lot of people give us a chance," he said. "We know what we're in for, we know what the challenge is. Years and seasons and life doesn't always go the way you plan. It's about how you react to it and how you respond to it. "As much as that (Michigan) loss hurts, we're not going to overreact on it. It's not worth it. We have a game against Georgia ahead of us that we're focusing on." | |||||||
12-30-22 | Wyoming v. Ohio OVER 42 | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 112 h 50 m | Show | |
Ohio wants to cap its successful turnaround season with a victory in the Arizona Bowl while Wyoming seeks to end its tumultuous year with its fourth straight bowl win in Friday's game in Tucson, Ariz. Ohio went from 3-9 last season to 9-4 this year, earning Tim Albin MAC Coach of the Year honors in his second season. Fourth-year quarterback Kurtis Rourke was selected the MAC's Offensive Player of the Year while running back Sieh Bangura was chosen the conference's Freshman of the Year. Rourke will not play in the Arizona Bowl because of a torn meniscus and ACL suffered last month. He passed for 3,256 yards (completing 244 of 353 attempts) with 25 touchdowns and four interceptions. CJ Harris is his replacement. He has passed for 393 yards while completing 32 of 64 passes with one touchdown and one interception. Bangura has rushed for 940 yards on 107 carries with seven touchdowns. | |||||||
12-30-22 | South Carolina v. Notre Dame UNDER 52 | Top | 38-45 | Loss | -110 | 113 h 24 m | Show |
Tyler Buchner opened the season as Notre Dame's starting quarterback. Then an injury in early September forced him from the role. A speedy recovery coupled with the transfer of replacement Drew Pyne — who steered the team to an 8-2 record — now have Buchner prepared to lead the No. 21 Fighting Irish into the Gator Bowl against No. 19 South Carolina on Dec. 30 in Jacksonville, Fla. Talk about a whirlwind, right? "You never really envision it going this way," Buchner said. "When you're announced as the starter and then you're hurt (in) Week 2, you lose two games. It's never the way you picture it. But you learn a lot through that. "I feel like getting hurt wasn't the worst thing that could have ever happened to me." Notre Dame (8-4) entered the fall with a No. 5 ranking but started the season with losses to eventual College Football Playoff entrant Ohio State and unranked Marshall. Buchner went 28-for-50 for 378 yards and two interceptions while rushing for two touchdowns before injuring the AC joint in his non-throwing shoulder. While watching games in the press box alongside offensive coordinator Tommy Rees brought Buchner valuable seasoning, the Fighting Irish know there may be some bumps, especially early in the game. It won't be Notre Dame's lone obstacle. Tight end Michael Mayer and defensive lineman Isaiah Foskey, both team captains, announced this month their intent to forego the bowl game to prepare for the NFL Draft. | |||||||
12-24-22 | Middle Tennessee State v. San Diego State UNDER 47.5 | 25-23 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Last year, it was the Bahamas. This year, it's Hawaii. No Group of 5 program has fared better at scoring tropical bowl destinations the last two seasons than Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders will try to turn their nine-hour plane trip to Honolulu into a win in the Hawaii Bowl against San Diego State on Saturday. "Two melatonins before I get on the plane to get as much sleep as I can," said safety Teldrick Ross of the trip across four time zones and an ocean. "That way, if I can cut the plane ride down to only like four or five and a half hours, I'll take it." Middle Tennessee (7-5) has become a bowl regular under veteran coach Rick Stockstill. The former Florida State quarterback has taken the team to 10 bowls in his 17 seasons on the job, and his 108 wins in Murfreesboro are the third most in program history. The Blue Raiders' 2022 highlight was a 45-31 win at Miami on Sept. 24, sending the Hurricanes out of the rankings for good. Middle Tennessee quarterback Chase Cunningham threw for 408 yards that day, and he has thrown for 2,920 yards in 11 games with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions. The team's defensive leader is safety Tra Fluellen, who has 97 tackles and seven pass breakups. Meanwhile, the Aztecs (7-5) were two different teams this year -- one before Mississippi State transfer Jalen Mayden took over at quarterback and another after he got the job from Virginia Tech transfer Braxton Burmeister. | |||||||
12-23-22 | Wake Forest v. Missouri UNDER 59 | Top | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Sam Hartman takes the field for the final time as Wake Forest quarterback when the Demon Deacons face Missouri in the Dec. 23 Gasparilla Bowl at Tampa, Fla. The record-setting signal-caller has decided to play in the bowl game but made it clear last month that he isn't returning to Wake. "No shot," Hartman said. Hartman, 23, is weighing whether to enter the NFL draft or transfer to another school for the sixth season. Schools needing a quarterback are preparing possible name, image, and likeness deals. "Whatever decision Sam makes we support him," Demon Deacons coach Dave Clawson told reporters. "Again, I think right now his intention is to go to the NFL. When the bowl game is over if there's some incredible offer for him to go to another school and get life-changing money, how can we fault him for that? So it's a good problem to have, and he's going to have many good options." Hartman has passed for 3,421 yards, 35 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions this season. He enters his final contest for Wake Forest (7-5) with a record easily in reach. Hartman is tied for the ACC career passing touchdowns record at 107 with former Clemson star Tajh Boyd (2010-13). | |||||||
12-23-22 | Houston v. UL-Lafayette OVER 56.5 | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
Houston possesses one of the most potent offenses and passing games in the nation, scoring 37.2 points per game and passing for 321.1 yards per game. Quarterback Clayton Tune has thrown for 3,845 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He is one of the players the Cougars are trying to replace next season, likely through the portal. His top target is Nathaniel Dell, who leads the team with 103 catches for 1,354 yards and 15 touchdowns. Louisiana has already been hit hard by key departures to the NFL draft, losing defensive end Andre Jones, which makes its defensive task even more difficult in this game. The Ragin' Cajuns will have to rely on their less experienced defenders to try and slow Houston's aerial assault. | |||||||
12-21-22 | South Alabama v. Western Kentucky UNDER 58 | Top | 23-44 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
The Jaguars are led by quarterback Carter Bradley (2,976 passing yards, 25 touchdowns) and running back La'Damian Webb (1,014 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns). Western Kentucky (8-5) will play in its ninth bowl game in 11 years. The Hilltoppers won three of their final four games, including a 32-31 overtime win over Florida Atlantic in their regular-season finale. After FAU scored first, Western Kentucky quarterback Austin Reed ran in a 1-yard touchdown and threw the game-winning two-point conversion to Joshua Simon. Reed, who transferred from Division II West Florida, was named Conference USA's Newcomer of the Year after throwing for 4,249 yards and 36 touchdowns, ranking second and fourth in FBS, respectively. | |||||||
12-20-22 | Eastern Michigan v. San Jose State OVER 53 | Top | 41-27 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show |
Eastern Michigan and San Jose State might not have extensive bowl histories in their respective programs, but believe it or not, there is bowl history with one another. When the teams collide on Dec. 20 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, it will be the second meeting in a bowl game between the Eagles and Spartans. The teams also met in the 1987 California Bowl, where Eastern Michigan earned what still is its only bowl win in school history, a 30-27 triumph. Now, 35 years later, the teams will hook up in the postseason once again. Eastern Michigan enters with an 8-4 record and will be making its seventh appearance all-time in a bowl game. It is also the fourth time in the last five seasons the Eagles will be in a bowl game. The Eagles have lost all four of those games, but three of them were by a combined 10 points. | |||||||
12-17-22 | Rice v. Southern Miss UNDER 45.5 | Top | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
For the first time since 2014, Rice qualified for a bowl game, with former conference foe Southern Miss on tap in the LendingTree Bowl on Saturday in Mobile, Ala. Rice (5-7) posted its best regular-season record under fifth-year coach Mike Bloomgren, even with a win total not normally good enough for bowl eligibility. When only 79 FBS teams reached six wins and three more bowl berths remained, the 5-7 teams with the highest academic progress rates (APR) were selected to fill out the remaining spots. The Owls had the highest APR of the group, a 994 rating of a possible 1,000. The metric measures student-athlete eligibility and retention. | |||||||
12-17-22 | Fresno State v. Washington State UNDER 53.5 | 29-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Fresno State has delivered a fantastic season, particularly with the way the past couple of months have gone. Now it's a matter of finishing in style for the Bulldogs. That opportunity comes Saturday against Washington State in the LA Bowl in Los Angeles. "From being counted out at 1-4 to having the chance to bring this program 10 wins is awesome for us," Fresno State senior defensive back Evan Williams said. Fresno State (9-4), which is the Mountain West Conference champion, has won eight games in a row. For Washington State (7-5), this will wrap up the first full season under coach Jake Dickert. "We're looking forward for the chance to send our seniors out on a winning note," Dickert said. No college team has begun with a 1-4 record and ended up with a 10-win season, something that Fresno State will try to pull off. | |||||||
12-10-22 | Navy v. Army UNDER 32 | 17-20 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
The Army offense is averaging 29.36. So far, big plays have been hard to come by for the unit, as they rank poorly in explosive plays both on the ground and through the air. However, they have an opportunity to put together an above-average performance vs a Navy defense ranked 124th in EPA. Army will be looking to continue to lean heavily on the run vs Navy, as they are one of the more rush-heavy teams in college football. However, they will be in for a tough test, as Navy features a front seven that is capable of making life difficult upfront. Heading into the game, the Black Knights will be looking to turn things around in the passing game, as their per-game average of 81.09 yards places them 215th in the NCAA. So far, they are the 226th-ranked team in attempts per contest (8.36). | |||||||
12-03-22 | Clemson v. North Carolina UNDER 64 | Top | 39-10 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
A few weeks ago, the ACC Championship Game looked like it might be a play-in for the College Football Playoff before Clemson dropped two late-season decisions, now going against North Carolina for a shot at a New Year's bowl instead. That makes two straight playoffs that Clemson won't be in after the team's offensive output took a sharp downturn the last two seasons with DJ Uiagalelei at quarterback as the unit has struggled under his leadership, even if the team's front seven defensive unit remains one of the nation's most impressive. | |||||||
12-03-22 | LSU v. Georgia UNDER 52 | 30-50 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
The LSU quarterback will play in the game after dealing with an ankle issue, and good thing for this time owing to how much of its offense he accounts for. Daniels has 15 touchdowns passing with just two interceptions and he's second among quarterbacks nationally with 824 rushing yards, leading LSU in that category. When reduced to one of those dimensions, LSU tends to struggle, and limiting his off-script plays is key for Georgia's front-seven discipline. | |||||||
12-03-22 | Fresno State v. Boise State UNDER 54.5 | 28-16 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show | |

11-26-22 | Iowa State v. TCU UNDER 46.5 | Top | 14-62 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
The Cyclones (4-7, 1-7 Big 12) head to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex to finish their season. A 14-10 loss to Texas Tech last Saturday assured that Iowa State would not play in a bowl game for the first time since 2016. The loss was the second straight for the Cyclones, who fell to the cellar in the conference standings. Iowa State has just one win -- over West Virginia -- since September. Six of its seven defeats have come by seven points or fewer. Hunter Dekkers led the Cyclones with 294 yards passing in the loss to Texas Tech, with 101 of those going to Xavier Hutchinson. Iowa State outgained Texas Tech 422-246 in total yards and possessed the ball for more than 36 minutes but also missed a field goal and had another one blocked. Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said the fact that his team won't play in a bowl "tears him apart." | |||||||
11-26-22 | Memphis v. SMU UNDER 69 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Memphis and SMU, a pair of 6-5 American Athletic Conference teams, meet Saturday in Dallas hoping to finish the regular season strong heading into what have become annual bowl trips. Looking to win its third straight game to cap the campaign, Memphis (6-5, 3-4) is coming off a 59-0 win over North Alabama to become bowl eligible for the ninth consecutive season. SMU (6-5, 4-3), meantime, clinched a fourth consecutive bowl trip back on Nov. 12 before stumbling through a 59-24 shellacking at No. 19 Tulane last Thursday. Coach Rhett Lashlee's Mustangs didn't do much right against the Green Wave, committing five turnovers and allowing 310 yards rushing. | |||||||

Akron has lost nine straight games after winning their season opener against FCS foe St. Francis. The 1-9 (0-6 MAC) Zips have one more chance to notch a win against an FBS team this year as they’ll look to shock the Huskies at home. Northern Illinois, one of the preseason favorites to win the MAC, has suffered injury after injury. The Huskies have dropped five one-score games this season and have fallen to 3-8 (2-5 MAC)...their worst full season since 2007. | |||||||

The Bulls resume their schedule after a 17-day layoff. Kent State, meanwhile, hasn’t played since Nov. 16 at Eastern Michigan. Kent State is traditionally known for its passing offense, but its pass defense is 11th in the 12-team MAC, having given up 3,106 yards in 11 games. | |||||||
11-25-22 | Baylor v. Texas UNDER 55.5 | 27-38 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 15 m | Show | |
No. 23 Texas will look to keep its chances of playing for the Big 12 Conference championship alive when it hosts Baylor on Friday in Austin in the teams' final-regular season game. The Longhorns (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) must beat Baylor and have Kansas beat No. 12 Kansas State on Saturday night to earn a berth opposite undefeated TCU in the league championship game. The Bears (6-5, 4-4) already are bowl-eligible and will aim to derail their longtime rival's title hopes. "We all understand the ramifications of where it's at in the Big 12," Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday. "We don't shy away from those things. We've got to do our part and see what happens after that." The Longhorns re-entered the College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday after a dominating 55-14 road victory over Kansas on Saturday, their second win in their past three games. | |||||||
11-25-22 | Toledo v. Western Michigan UNDER 51.5 | 14-20 | Win | 100 | 1 h 11 m | Show | |
Western Michigan forces mistakes. It’s been a disastrous season offensively, but the defense hasn’t been all that bad overall. It can be run on, but it doesn’t get gouged. The pass rush is good enough to hold firm on third downs, the secondary hasn’t allowed more than 200 yards in weeks, and … The takeaways. The offense might stall and sputter, but the defense provides the chances with eight takeaways in the last three games and two or more in five of the last seven games. | |||||||

This is Central Michigan’s bowl game. It was a wildly weird and disappointing season, but the team was on a nice roll of three wins in four games before the power outage 12-10 loss to Western Michigan with just 253 yards and no luck whatsoever. Eastern Michigan has gotten by week after week even after having a slew of problems with penalties, third down stops, and generating pressure in the backfield. It’s all about the ground game. Central Michigan is 4-0 when it gets past 160 rushing yards and 0-7 when it doesn’t. Eastern Michigan allowed more than 160 yards five times | |||||||

Ole Miss and Mississippi State are not where they wanted to be on Thanksgiving weekend, and it remains to be seen whether Lane Kiffin is coming to the party known in Mississippi as the Egg Bowl. The Rebels (8-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) were ranked in the AP Top 10 after winning their first seven games, but they've lost three of their past four, and the defeats have come by an average of two touchdowns. The Bulldogs (7-4, 3-4) were ranked No. 16 after starting the season 5-1, but they have lost three of their past five overall and three of their past four SEC games. To add a dash of drama reports Kiffin was on the verge of bowing out of his job at Ole Miss to accept an offer at Auburn surfaced Monday night. Kiffin replied to the report with a matter-of-fact "news to me," to lead off a string of social media posts denying he'd be anywhere except the annual Battle for the Golden Egg on Thursday night in Oxford, Miss. The winner's season will look a whole lot better before the teams head off to their respective bowl games. | |||||||

Ball State (5-6, 3-4 MAC) is receiving its third and final shot at bowl eligibility. The Cardinals spent their prior two weeks pitted against potential MAC Championship Game participants Toledo and Ohio, and neither game wound up in their favor. But the loss to Ohio was even more costly as Ball State watched star running back Carson Steele leave the game with an injury after a brutal head-on collision with the turf. | |||||||
11-22-22 | Bowling Green v. Ohio UNDER 55 | Top | 14-38 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show |
Carson Steele is Ball State’s offense this season. The running back ranks ninth in the FBS in rushing yards with 1,376 and the true sophomore has 12 rushing touchdowns in addition. Steele utilizes his 6’1”, 215-pound frame and impressive weight room numbers to shed tackles at a jaw-dropping rate. Last week, the midgame injury left him four yards shy of his sixth consecutive 100-yard rushing game. With his status in doubt Tuesday, Ball State must reimagine its offense, but the Cardinals could still lean heavily on the run game with Will Jones and Vaughn Pemberton out of the gate. | |||||||
11-19-22 | USC v. UCLA UNDER 76.5 | 48-45 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
Many fans and other observers thought Dorian Thompson-Robinson's performance against Southern California last year was an emphatic final chapter to his UCLA career. It was far from it. Thompson-Robinson decided to return for a fifth season in Westwood because he still had plenty to prove. His encore year and Caleb Williams' arrival after Lincoln Riley was hired at USC set the stage for one of the best college football seasons in Los Angeles since 2005. It has led to Saturday's much-anticipated Crosstown Showdown as the No. 16 Bruins (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12) host the seventh-ranked Trojans (9-1, 7-1). The game sold out even after UCLA raised the capacity at the Rose Bowl to nearly 71,000. The game's 92nd edition will also feature a milestone. It is the first in which both LA schools are led by a Black quarterback. "It's very rare in 2022 when you can sit and be witness to history like that. And certainly, I think we're all going to be lucky for that," said Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt. "I think the two are going to put on an absolute show. I would be shocked if this game wasn't one of the higher-scoring games we've seen this year." | |||||||

No. 18 Notre Dame will look to extend a four-game winning streak and continue its dominance in the annual Holy War rivalry game against Boston College on Saturday in South Bend, Ind. The Fighting Irish (7-3) have rebounded well after an 0-2 start. Offensively, things have clicked with Notre Dame scoring at least 35 points in each contest of the streak, including a 35-32 win last weekend against Navy. Boston College (3-7) has had a largely forgettable season but made a statement with a 21-20 upset win at then No. 16 NC State last Saturday. Emmett Morehead threw a 2-yard touchdown pass with 14 seconds remaining to Joseph Griffin Jr. to clinch Boston College's first win over a Top 25 team in eight years. To get another upset, the Eagles will have to reverse their difficult history against Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have won eight straight in the rivalry. In each of the past three meetings, they scored at least 40 points and each game was decided by at least two touchdowns. The last time Boston College beat Notre Dame came on Nov. 8, 2008, a 17-0 Eagles victory. | |||||||

The last time Michigan went 12-0, Brian Griese was starting under center, a young Tom Brady had only 15 pass attempts in his sophomore season and Charles Woodson was headlining a defense allowing 9.5 points per game. That was back in 1997, but the third-ranked Wolverines find themselves in a position to replicate that record. First, they'll have to get past No. 21 Illinois on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich. Michigan (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) maintained its pristine record, coasting to a 34-3 victory against Nebraska last week. J.J. McCarthy completed 8 of 17 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns and Blake Corum added a score on the ground to go along with 162 rushing yards on 28 carries. "Just feel great. Just so appreciative of everybody, really -- players, coaches, staff, all the hard work that's gone in," Wolverines coach John Harbaugh said. "The mission continues. It's a happy mission. ... Keep it rolling, keep it going, and guys are a joy to be around. Excited about the matchup that we have this week." | |||||||
11-15-22 | Bowling Green v. Toledo OVER 50 | 42-35 | Win | 100 | 25 h 16 m | Show | |
Toledo features an effective and explosive offense. The Rockets have been able to consistently move up and down the field with ease through 10 games. They are third in the MAC in total offense (406.9) and rushing offense (182.6) but first in scoring (35.1). This unit has scored 35-plus in five games this season. Senior quarterback Matt McDonald is the signal-caller for the Falcons' offense. McDonald is an accurate passer with the ability to quickly scan the field. The California native can diagnose the coverage in a hurry and keep the ball out of harm's way. McDonald has tossed 2,027 passing yards with 17 passing touchdowns and just four interceptions. On Oct. 22, he went 18 of 20 for 253 yards and two passing touchdowns. | |||||||
11-15-22 | Ohio v. Ball State OVER 57 | 32-18 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
The Bobcats can’t quite lock up the MAC East title with a win, but … They can realistically lock up the MAC East title with a win. They need to win and Bowling Green has to lose at Toledo. Otherwise, it comes down to next week’s matchup between the two for the division. For now, the high-powered passing game should be enough. The offense leads the MAC in yards and is second in scoring thanks to the high-powered air show that’s ripping through everyone. The Ball State pass defense is fine against attacks that don’t throw a ton, but the team is 0-4 against teams that go for 230 yards or more. Ohio has thrown for over 230 in seven games going 6-1 | |||||||
11-12-22 | Utah State v. Hawaii UNDER 54 | Top | 41-34 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 57 m | Show |
Hawaii is only averaging 17.8 ppg while giving up an average of 35.8 ppg. On offense, they do not rank in the top 91 in the nation in passing or rushing yards per game. Sophomore QB Brayden Schager (1,610 yards 7 TD 7 INT) ranks 118th in the nation in QBR but has passed for over 200 yards in each of the last two games where he has three TD and only one INT. The Rainbow Warriors have four players with over 200 receiving yards led by Zion Bowens (289 3 TD) but he does not have more than 35 receiving yards in any of the last three games. Dedrick Parson and Tylan Hines have combined for over 1,000 rushing yards this season and Hines has 182 rushing yards in the last two games. Look for Hawaii to run the ball often in this game, as Utah State has one of the best pass defenses in the nation | |||||||
11-12-22 | Maryland v. Penn State UNDER 57 | 0-30 | Win | 100 | 22 h 20 m | Show | |
Penn State has struggled on third down this year, only converting on 36.7% of its 120 attempts this season, the 11th-best clip in the Big Ten. If Maryland can create a good third-down defensive plan, the numbers play to its advantage. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Pittsburgh v. Virginia OVER 41 | 37-7 | Win | 100 | 19 h 45 m | Show | |
The Panthers rank in the middle of the pack of the ACC in both scoring offense (8th with 29.2 points per game) and total offense (7th with 401.4 yards per game) and a lot of their success this season has come from their ground game. Pitt ranks 4th in the ACC with 179.8 rushing yards per game, mostly powered by Israel Abanikanda, one of the most dynamic running backs in all of college football. Abanikanda is the ACC's leading rusher at 135.8 rushing yards per game - the next-best rusher on the list averages less than 90 yards per contest. He is the only ACC tailback to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark so far this season, amassing 1,086 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns. Needless to say, UVA's defense will have to have 11 sets of eyes on Pitt's star running back whenever he is on the field. | |||||||
11-12-22 | Indiana v. Ohio State OVER 60.5 | Top | 14-56 | Win | 100 | 19 h 54 m | Show |
Ohio State looks to regain its swagger on offense when the No. 2 Buckeyes host Indiana on Saturday in Columbus. After enduring torrential rain and a wind averaging nearly 30 mph to win 21-7 at Northwestern last week, the Buckeyes (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) want to take their frustrations out on the downtrodden Hoosiers (3-6, 1-5), who have lost six in a row. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Tuesday the running game remains a concern even though the Buckeyes produced 207 rushing yards vs. Northwestern after managing a combined 164 yards in the previous two games vs. Iowa and Penn State. The Buckeyes were stuffed several times on short-yardage situations at Northwestern, including on third- and fourth-down needing a yard in the first quarter when Miyan Williams had the two runs for no yards. | |||||||
11-10-22 | Tulsa v. Memphis OVER 61.5 | Top | 10-26 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 59 m | Show |
Memphis will look to end a four-game losing streak when it hosts struggling Tulsa in American Athletic Conference play on Thursday. The Tigers (4-5, 2-4 AAC) are coming off a 35-28 loss to visiting UCF in which the No. 25 Knights broke open a tie game with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to deal Memphis its longest losing streak since 2013. Tulsa (3-6, 1-4) fell behind 17-3 midway through the second quarter and never recovered in a 27-13 loss at No. 19 Tulane. It was the Golden Hurricane's fifth defeat in their past six games. Memphis must win two of its final three games to be bowl-eligible for the ninth straight season, while the Golden Hurricane must win their final three games to qualify for the postseason for the third straight year. | |||||||
11-09-22 | Buffalo v. Central Michigan OVER 54 | Top | 27-31 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
UB comes up with takeaways in spurts – it came up with four or more in three games – and Central Michigan will be happy to oblige. The Chippewas are a horrendous -12 in turnover margin with two or more fumbles in five of the last six games. That should help provide plenty of scoring chances. | |||||||
11-08-22 | Eastern Michigan v. Akron UNDER 57 | Top | 34-28 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
The Eastern Michigan Eagles (5-4) travel to InfoCision Stadium as they match up against the Akron Zips (1-8) in a MACtion battle on Tuesday night. This will be the 33rd contest in history between these schools. Akron is leading the all-time series 19-14. Despite that, the Eagles are currently on a two-game winning streak. In 2019, Eastern Michigan beat Akron 42-14. | |||||||
11-05-22 | UCLA v. Arizona State OVER 66 | 50-36 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
The Bruins are 7-1 so far this season, going undefeated in nonconference play before opening Pac-12 play 3-0 and eventually falling to Oregon in Eugene. UCLA bounced back with a home win over Stanford last weekend, keeping them in the race for the Pac-12 title. The Sun Devils are 3-5, firing head coach Herm Edwards midway through their four-game losing streak early in the season. Arizona State turned things around with an upset win over Washington in Tempe, and after losing to Stanford 15-14, rebounded with a win over Colorado under interim coach Shaun Aguano. UCLA is averaging 39.6 points per game, which ranks 11th in the country, while allowing 24.2. The Bruins rank No. 5 in passing yards, No. 2 in rushing yards and No. 3 in total yards of offense among Pac-12 teams this season. Their defense is allowing the third-fewest yards in the conference and also ranks fifth in turnovers forced per game under new defensive coordinator Bill McGovern. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Michigan v. Rutgers UNDER 45.5 | 52-17 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
Michigan debuted at No. 5 in this year's College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday night. The Wolverines control their own destiny if they win out in November, including the traditional season finale with No. 2 Ohio State. But all of that was secondary for the program this week in the wake of what Jim Harbaugh called an assault on two of his players following Michigan's game against Michigan State. The team's focus remained on the wellbeing of defensive backs Ja'Den McBurrows and Gemon Green, who were injured in the incident, ahead of its trip to Rutgers this Saturday at Piscataway, N.J. Harbaugh said what transpired Saturday night in the Michigan Stadium tunnel was "egregious" and traumatic for the whole program. "An apology will not get the job done in this instance," Harbaugh said Monday. "There should be serious consequences for the many individuals who are culpable." Green retained an attorney, who said the graduate student suffered a concussion when a Spartans player hit him in the head with a helmet. McBurrows, who was already sidelined with an ACL injury, was the victim in a video posted online that showed several Michigan State players ganging up on him in the tunnel. The ugly event overshadowed Michigan (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) snapping a two-game losing streak in the rivalry. Blake Corum ran for 177 yards and a touchdown on 33 carries to build upon a Heisman Trophy campaign; he now ranks second in the country with 14 rushing touchdowns and fourth nationally with 1,078 yards. Ahead of the Wolverines' first road game since Oct. 8, Harbaugh agreed it will be difficult to put the Michigan State incident behind them and focus on Rutgers. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Texas State v. UL-Monroe OVER 52.5 | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
After two games on the road, the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks are heading back home. Their week off comes to an end as they meet up with the Texas State Bobcats at 5 p.m. ET at JPS Field at James L. Malone Stadium Saturday. The Warhawks are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 37.63 points per matchup. Louisiana-Monroe might have drawn first blood against the Army West Point Black Knights two weeks ago, but it was Army who got the last laugh. Louisiana-Monroe has to be aching after a bruising 48-24 loss to Army. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Troy v. UL-Lafayette UNDER 43 | Top | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
Forget the mediocre 4-4 overall record and 2-3 in Sun Belt mark Louisiana-Lafayette possesses going into its home contest against Troy on Saturday. At least, the Trojans’ coach Jon Sumrall isn’t paying any attention to it. What the first-year coach has researched is the Ragin’ Cajuns have had their way with the Trojans the past two seasons – winning 35-21 at Troy a year ago and 53-3 in 2019, the last time Troy made a visit to Lafayette. The two teams didn’t play in 2020. “The last couple of outcomes against them for us have not been good,” Sumrall said. “We haven’t beaten Louisiana-Lafayette in a long time around here. “That’s a really big test for us, and we’re ready for it. I think our guys will be mentally prepared and locked in, but we’ve got a good opponent we better be prepared for or we’ll get exposed. | |||||||
11-05-22 | UTSA v. UAB OVER 53.5 | 44-38 | Win | 100 | 4 h 28 m | Show | |
UAB running back DeWayne McBride enters Saturday as the nation’s leading rusher, posting 163.3 yards per game and 12 touchdowns on an average of 7.0 yards per carry. Taylor described McBride as an “NFL back” because of his size and body control, calling him “the next best thing we’re going to see next to (Texas’) Bijan Robinson.” Roadrunners defensive lineman Asyrus Simon said slowing McBride and UAB’s rushing game will be “the biggest challenge this week.” “He will get paid on Sundays,” Simon said. “He can make you miss, he runs hard, and he has a good line up front to help him see the way through.” | |||||||
11-05-22 | New Mexico v. Utah State UNDER 42.5 | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
The Utah State Aggies (3-5) host an MWC battle against the New Mexico Lobos (2-6) on Saturday, November 5, 2022, at Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium. In last week’s game, the Aggies lost to the Cowboys from Wyoming 28-14, and the Lobos lost to Fresno State 41-9 in Mountain West Conference play. The Lobos come into the game at 2-6 and have struggled to balance the offense and defense this year in a very challenging year for the Lobos. New Mexico started the year with two wins over Maine and UTEP and a loss to Boise State over their first three games. The Lobos have hit a losing streak since then, falling to LSU, UNLV, Wyoming, New Mexico State, and Fresno State in succession. | |||||||
11-05-22 | West Virginia v. Iowa State UNDER 50 | 14-31 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Iowa State turned in maybe its most frustrating performance of the season in a 27-13 game. The defense turned in yet another outstanding performance and the special teams were actually not bad! However, the offense was absolutely horrible. Hunter Dekkers finished the day 37/57 passing for 308 yards (57 ATTEMPTS!!), but threw three interceptions to only one touchdown pass. The running also continued to struggle, as Cartevious Norton and Jirehl Brock combined for just 49 yards rushing on 22 carries. In fact, Hunter Dekkers picked up nearly half of the team’s rushing yards on a single 28-yard scramble. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Baylor v. Oklahoma OVER 61.5 | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
Oklahoma coach Brent Venables has plenty of familiarity with his Baylor counterpart, Dave Aranda. During their time as up-and-coming defensive coordinators, the pair spent time talking about defensive philosophies. But Venables said their relationship really grew when Aranda was the defensive coordinator at LSU and recruited Venables' son, Jake. When decision time arrived, Jake Venables picked Clemson. "His mama won the recruiting battle," Venables said. "Dave didn't make the cut." On Saturday, Aranda's Bears (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) will take on Venables' Sooners (5-3, 2-3) at Norman, Okla. Aranda not only has experience with Oklahoma's coach, he knows the Sooners' offense as well. | |||||||
11-05-22 | South Florida v. Temple UNDER 49.5 | 28-54 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
Temple and South Florida are the only teams yet to win a game in American Athletic Conference play this season. Off to 0-4 starts in league play, Temple and USF are hoping to emerge with the elusive AAC victory when the teams convene Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia. Temple (2-6, 0-4 AAC) has dropped conference games to Memphis, Central Florida, Tulsa, and Navy. The Owls absorbed a 70-13 loss to UCF on Oct. 13, took an early 10-point lead in a 27-16 loss at Tulsa, and succumbed in overtime during last week's 27-20 loss to Navy. Amad Anderson Jr. caught a 20-yard touchdown for the Owls and finished with eight receptions for 114 yards. E.J. Warner, the son of Kurt Warner, completed 24 of 48 passes for 268 yards and was intercepted twice. Perhaps the most encouraging sign came from the defense's showing against the Navy's triple-option. The Owls conceded 224 yards from scrimmage -- well below Navy's 370 yards per game entering last week. | |||||||
11-05-22 | Iowa v. Purdue UNDER 39.5 | 24-3 | Win | 100 | 1 h 51 m | Show | |
Still in control of its destiny in the Big Ten West, Purdue spent its bye week doing far more regrouping than reflecting on what could lie ahead. What is at stake beyond Saturday's visit from Iowa in West Lafayette, Ind.? Boilermakers coach Jeff Brohm urges players not to bother. "I think we can't concern ourselves with anything at the end of the tunnel," Brohm said. "That's when you get caught looking down a road and don't prepare as hard as you can." Should the Boilermakers (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) defeat Iowa (4-4, 2-3), they'd set up a huge division clash at resurgent Illinois the following week. To get there, Purdue must play more efficiently on offense than the most recent time out, a 35-24 loss at Wisconsin on Oct. 22 that snapped a four-game winning streak. Purdue quarterback Aidan O'Connell eclipsed 300 yards for the third straight game while passing for a touchdown, but he also threw three interceptions. | |||||||
11-04-22 | Duke v. Boston College UNDER 48 | 38-31 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 33 m | Show | |
When Boston College hosts Duke to resume Atlantic Coast Conference play on Friday in Chestnut Hill, Mass., one team will hope to stay on its current trajectory and the other will try to reverse course entirely. Fresh off a bye, Duke (5-3, 2-2 ACC) is looking to build upon its 45-21 win at Miami from Oct. 22. The Blue Devils' two prior games were three-point losses to Georgia Tech and North Carolina. First-year coach Mike Elko's team has been a surprise, as Duke had five wins in 2020 and 2021 combined. Now, bowl eligibility is one win away. | |||||||
11-04-22 | UMass v. Connecticut UNDER 40 | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 3 h 29 m | Show | |
In an offensive meeting during UConn football fall camp, Zion Turner was asked what his hopes were for the season. The decorated true freshman quarterback was still competing for a higher position on the depth chart. He had no idea he’d end up the starter in Game 2. But Turner said: “I want to take the team to a bowl game.” Hearing such a goal from Turner made sense, despite the program’s history in the FBS basement. The Fort Lauderdale native lost just two games as a three-year starter in one of the nation’s powerhouse programs, St. Thomas Aquinas in Florida. He won three state titles and possesses the confidence that comes with a proven winner. He chose to come to UConn, which raised questions from those familiar with his talent level, with the goal of turning the Huskies around. Seeing the banners hanging from the walls inside the Burton Football Complex, and the ministries in the hallways, Turner wanted the 2022 team to be a part of it. To raise one of its own for the first time since 2015. | |||||||
11-01-22 | Buffalo v. Ohio OVER 58.5 | Top | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
Ohio is facing its biggest test yet. The Bobcats begin Midweek MACtion this week, and it will be no easy feat. As if adjusting to playing in the middle of the week wasn’t hard enough, the Bobcats are facing the top team in the Mid-American Conference East Division: Buffalo. This game is especially important because it will determine if Buffalo stays atop the division, or if Ohio will take its place. It could also play a factor in who will be heading to Detroit for the MAC Championship Game. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Nevada v. San Jose State UNDER 44.5 | 28-35 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
San Jose State has had two weeks off since the stunning loss to Fresno State. It’s going to be ready to get back on track. The passing game should be way too effective against a Nevada defense that hasn’t seen good quarterback play all season long. The Spartans don’t run all that well, but they should be able to do just enough to balance things out a bit. And then there are the turnovers. Nevada might have 16 takeaways on the season, but San Jose State has turned it over just twice. The team is +9 in turnover margin – it’ll be fine. | |||||||
10-29-22 | San Diego State v. Fresno State OVER 43 | 28-32 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Can this keep working with Jalen Mayden winging it around? The former Mississippi State quarterback-turned-SDSU defensive back-turned-quarterback saved the season with a 322-yard day in the win over Hawaii, and struggled in the win over Nevada, but didn’t make any big mistakes. As long as he’s serviceable, the running game that showed signs of life against the Wolf Pack should be okay, the defense is good enough to keep the – most-likely – Jake Haener-less Fresno State offense from going off | |||||||
10-29-22 | Pittsburgh v. North Carolina OVER 65 | 24-42 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Drake Maye leads No. 21 UNC into battle against Pitt No. 21 North Carolina will strengthen its grip on the top spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference's Coastal Division if it can top visiting Pitt on Saturday night in Chapel Hill, N.C. UNC (6-1, 3-0 ACC) is coming off a bye week, having last played on Oct. 15, when it went north on Tobacco Road and beat rival Duke 38-35 in Durham. That contest was another stellar outing for Tar Heels redshirt freshman quarterback Drake Maye, who completed 28 of 38 passes for 380 yards and three touchdowns while rushing 18 times for a net gain of 70 yards in the win. Maye leads the ACC in adjusted passing yards per attempt this season with a mark of 11.4. He also leads the conference in completions (162), passing yards per attempt (9.9), touchdowns responsible for (27), completion percentage (70.1), passer rating (184.8), and total yards (2,661). Simply put: The Tar Heels wouldn't be in a position to potentially play for an ACC championship this season if it wasn't for Maye. But he could be better, according to UNC offensive coordinator Phil Longo. He told reporters this week that Maye spent the bye week working on his mobility and protecting the football. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Ole Miss v. Texas A&M UNDER 55.5 | 31-28 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
With Southeastern Conference road losses dominating them last week, No. 15 Ole Miss and Texas A&M will try to reverse their fortunes when they meet Saturday night in College Station, Texas. The Rebels (7-1, 3-1) tumbled eight spots in the Top 25 after experiencing defeat for the first time last weekend, but coach Lane Kiffin's run-oriented offense went about losing in a strange way. Before dropping its 45-20 decision at LSU, Ole Miss led 17-3 after Jonathan Cruz's field goal on the second quarter's first play. The Rebels then led 20-17 at halftime, with one of the nation's top rushers to move the chains, consume time, and add points to move to 8-0 and keep their top 10 rankings. Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels and the LSU defense had something else in mind. The home side ended the game on a 28-3 run, while the defense held Kiffin's offense without a point in the second half. With rusher Zach Evans injured, the vaunted running game headed by him and Quinshon Judkins (111 yards on 25 carries, two TDs) produced just 117 yards on 37 tries. Kiffin said his squad will encounter a similarly raucous crowd as the one they played in front of at LSU's Death Valley. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Coastal Carolina v. Marshall UNDER 54.5 | Top | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
Marshall needs takeaways to win this, and Coastal Carolina likely won’t oblige. The Herd was able to come up with three or more takeaways in three of the last four games including five in the stunning win over James Madison. Most famously, the D generate three interceptions in the win at Notre Dame.Coastal Carolina had a turnover problem against Buffalo earlier in the season, but that’s been about it with just three giveaways in the last four games. | |||||||

The South Alabama defense continues to be fantastic. Troy’s was a wee bit better last week in the 10-6 Jaguar loss, but this bunch should be a rock against an Arkansas State team that can’t run and has a hard time putting points on the board.The South Alabama passing game is accurate and effective, and the Red Wolves can’t top any of it. It’s the other side, though, that should take over as the game goes on against an ASU offensive line that can’t keep anyone out of the backfield. | |||||||
10-29-22 | Illinois v. Nebraska UNDER 50.5 | 26-9 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
No. 17 Illinois will try to keep its unexpected spot atop the West Division standings when it visits Nebraska on Saturday for a Big Ten Conference game in Lincoln. The Fighting Illini (6-1, 3-1) have won five straight, their longest streak since posting seven consecutive victories in 2010-11, which also was the last time they were ranked this high. They come off a bye holding a half-game lead in the West over Purdue, while Nebraska (3-4, 2-2) is one game behind the leader. Illinois' last game was a 26-14 home win on Oct. 15 over Minnesota, in which it held its opponent to 180 yards. The Illini lead the country in scoring defense (8.9) and total defense (221.1) and rank second in rushing defense (77.9) and passing defense (143.3). Their 12 interceptions are tied for second-most in the country. | |||||||

The Ragin' Cajuns (4-3, 2-2) have won two in a row, including a 38-18 win over Arkansas State last Saturday. The Golden Eagles (4-3, 2-1), tied for second in the division, have won two in a row and four of five.

Appalachian State was supposed to be the Sun Belt’s killer running team this year, and it’s turning out to be Georgia State. The Panthers can throw a little bit when they have to, but the veteran combination of backs and quarterback Darren Grainger are starting to take over. Army ran for more yards, but Georgia State was more effective on the ground in the 31-14 win. It ripped through Georgia Southern for 336 yards, and they’re combining it with a defense that takes the ball away by the truckload. | |||||||
10-15-22 | Oklahoma State v. TCU UNDER 69 | 40-43 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
The usual October showdown between the two highest-ranked teams in the Big 12 has finally arrived. It's just not the matchup most fans predicted. Hardly anyone expected No. 8 Oklahoma State and No. 13 TCU both to be unbeaten going into their contest on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas, but that is the case in what is the first top-15 showdown in the conference this year. Oklahoma State's success to this point is not the biggest surprise. The Cowboys (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) began the season ranked No. 12 after nearly making the College Football Playoff last year. The Cowboys already have one road win over a ranked Texas school. They earned a 36-25 victory at then-No. 16 Baylor on Oct. 1. As has traditionally been the case, the offense has been the biggest reason for Oklahoma State's success. The Cowboys are averaging 46.4 points and 469.4 yards per game thus far and are led by quarterback Spencer Sanders, who has completed 61.5 percent of his passes for 1,394 yards and 12 touchdowns with two interceptions. Sanders is also second in rushing with 241 yards for Oklahoma State, which is coming off a 41-31 home win over Texas Tech. | |||||||
10-13-22 | Baylor v. West Virginia UNDER 55 | 40-43 | Loss | -110 | 86 h 52 m | Show | |
After a poor showing in Austin, the bye week couldn't have come at a better time for West Virginia. Not only were they able to use the bye to fix some things but also get healthy as a handful of players suffered injuries during the loss to Texas. Falling behind 28-0 in the first half just simply can't happen again. That was a team that looked unprepared and failed to adjust when they saw a defensive front that they weren't expecting. Digging yourself a hole against the defending champs is a spot you don't want to be in. Jumping out to a 7-10 point lead by half will give WVU a chance to overcome any defensive issues/miscues in the second half. | |||||||
10-07-22 | Colorado State v. Nevada OVER 44 | 17-14 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 1 m | Show | |
Norvell’s former team is playing better than the current one. The Wolf Pack might be struggling, but they were able to get the ground game going early on against New Mexico State and Texas State and there shouldn’t be a problem against the Rams. It won’t be anything scintillating, but the Nevada lines will outplay the Colorado State fronts in a relatively even game for four quarters. | |||||||
10-07-22 | UNLV v. San Jose State UNDER 51.5 | 7-40 | Win | 100 | 2 h 50 m | Show | |
UNLV QB Doug Brumfield finished with 233 yards passing and rushed for a TD in a 31-20 win last Friday vs. the New Mexico Lobos. The Rebels trailed 17-0 in the 2nd quarter before scoring 24 unanswered points, but still failed to cover the full-game spread as 14-point favorites. UNLV is 4-1 against the spread (ATS) this season. San Jose State covered the spread as a 2.5-point favorite in a 33-16 win at the Wyoming Cowboys Saturday. Spartans QB Chevan Cordeiro threw for 314 yards and 1 TD and rushed for 2 more in their Mountain West Conference opener. Cordeiro went 21-of-37 passing as San Jose State improved to 3-1 ATS on the season. | |||||||
10-05-22 | SMU v. Central Florida OVER 64.5 | 19-41 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 0 m | Show | |
The Knights (3-1) didn't play very well offensively in a 27-10 win over visiting Georgia Tech last week, while SMU (2-2) lost its second straight game by falling at home to rival TCU 42-34. For UCF, John Rhys Plumlee failed to complete a pass in the first quarter against the Yellow Jackets. He finished the day completing just 8 of 16 passes for 49 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. But the quarterback did have 16 carries for a team-high 100 yards and a touchdown, powering a rushing attack that ran for 284 yards. With contributions from RJ Harvey and Isaiah Bowser, the Knights averaged 5.1 yards per carry. SMU gave up touchdowns on four of TCU's first five possessions, fell behind 28-7 midway through the second quarter and never recovered. The Mustangs rolled up 476 yards of total offense, but were hampered by a pair of interceptions thrown by Tanner Mordecai. Mordecai has completed 58.4 percent of his passes for 1,385 yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions. He's thrown a touchdown pass to eight different receivers, led by four to Rashee Rice, who also leads the team with 34 catches for 565 yards. Tre Siggers has rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns on 50 carries. UCF features a much more run-oriented attack behind Plumlee, who has rushed for a team-high 404 yards to go along with four scores. Bowser has 228 yards and a team-high five rushing touchdowns on 69 carries. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Alabama v. Arkansas OVER 60.5 | 49-26 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
Alabama will try to continue its dominance of Southeastern Conference rival Arkansas on Saturday when it travels to Fayetteville, Ark., in one of four matchups this week between teams in the top 20. The No. 2 Crimson Tide (4-0, 1-0 SEC) have won 15 consecutive games against the 20th-ranked Razorbacks (3-1, 1-1) and have not lost a matchup in the series since 2006, the year before Nick Saban arrived at Alabama. This will be the Tide's second road game of the season and first against a conference opponent. In its only road game so far, Alabama narrowly escaped with a 20-19 nonconference victory at Texas on Sept. 10. The Razorbacks last defeated Alabama in 2006 at home and could use a major bounce-back victory after blowing a 14-point lead in last week's 23-21 loss to then-No. 23 Texas A&M. Arkansas led 14-0 before the Aggies scored 23 unanswered points. The Razorbacks pulled to within two, but kicker Cam Little's 42-yard go-ahead field goal with 1:30 remaining in the game bounced off the top of the right upright. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Wake Forest v. Florida State OVER 67 | Top | 31-21 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 56 m | Show |
Off to its best start since 2015 -- and ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll for the first time in more than four years -- No. 23 Florida State will aim to keep its hot streak going Saturday when the Seminoles host No. 22 Wake Forest in Tallahassee, Fla. The Seminoles (4-0, 2-0 ACC) are undefeated and ranked after thrashing Boston College 44-14 at home last Saturday. Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons (3-1, 0-1 ACC) are coming off their first defeat of the season, a 51-45 overtime loss to No. 5 Clemson. Although FSU canceled classes Tuesday through Friday in preparation for the possible effects of Hurricane Ian, the game remained on schedule for 3:30 p.m. EST at FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium. Florida already has moved its game against Eastern Washington to Sunday, while USF moved its game against East Carolina across the state to Boca Raton. Tallahassee is farther north and west than those campuses, leading FSU athletic director Michael Alford to say Monday, "Nothing has changed right now," while the school reminded fans to check social media for updates. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Purdue v. Minnesota OVER 53 | 20-10 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 30 m | Show | |
No. 21 Minnesota faces Purdue, aims to stay unbeaten After a 34-7 win over Michigan State on Saturday, Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said that sometimes the difference between being a team or just simply being a group boils down to defensive culture and intensity. If that's true, the Golden Gophers are as much of a team as anyone in college football. No. 21 Minnesota (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) will look to continue terrorizing opposing offenses on Saturday when it faces Purdue (2-2, 0-1) in a conference matchup at Minneapolis. The Gophers have allowed just 24 points this season. They've also allowed the fewest average yards per game in the nation (187.8), with the next-closest team, Alabama, at 201.2. Thanks to those impressive defensive numbers and a lethal rushing attack, Minnesota has slid into the AP Top 25 for the first time this season. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Michigan v. Iowa UNDER 42 | 27-14 | Win | 100 | 1 h 20 m | Show | |
No. 4 Michigan visits Iowa, 'Where top-5 teams go to die' Michigan heads to Iowa City, Iowa, on Saturday undefeated and ranked No. 4. Yet, in a way, the Wolverines feel like an underdog against unranked Iowa. The Hawkeyes (3-1, 1-0) have a history of knocking off highly-ranked opponents that pay a visit. This will be the ninth time in the Kirk Ferentz era that Iowa has hosted a top five team. Iowa is a remarkable 5-3 in those games, including victories in five of the past six. One of those victories, a 14-13 squeaker, came against No. 2 Michigan in 2016. "As they say, where top-five teams go to die," Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. The Wolverines (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) are leaving the comfort zone of home for the first time this season. They defeated Maryland in their Big Ten opener on Saturday 34-27. Running back Blake Corum has already racked up nine touchdowns while averaging 7.5 yards a carry. In Michigan's final nonconference game, he tied a school record with five rushing touchdowns against UConn, and then turned into a workhouse last week against the Terrapins, rushing for a career high 243 yards on 30 carries and reaching the end zone twice. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Kentucky v. Ole Miss UNDER 55 | 19-22 | Win | 100 | 1 h 8 m | Show | |
In a matchup of ranked Southeastern Conference teams on Saturday, No. 7 Kentucky and No. 14 Ole Miss will try to shake off last weekend's sluggishness when they meet in Oxford, Miss. The Wildcats (4-0, 1-0) ultimately took care of their non-conference business with Northern Illinois -- a 26-point underdog -- but it wasn't easy. The Mid-American Conference's Huskies tied the game at 14 just before halftime. In the first minute of the second half, Kentucky quarterback Will Levis found Barion Brown for a 70-yard touchdown, and the Wildcats held on to win at home in Lexington, 31-23. Levis went 18-for-26 for 303 yards with a career-high four touchdowns. The 300-yard game was the senior's third this season, but he was pressured by the Huskies most of the game and was sacked five times. He connected for plays of 40, 69 and 70 yards, all for touchdowns. | |||||||
10-01-22 | Oklahoma v. TCU OVER 69 | 24-55 | Win | 100 | 1 h 38 m | Show | |
Oklahoma's defense was torched by a mobile quarterback in a loss to Kansas State last week. The season might not get any easier for the No. 18 Sooners (3-1, 0-1) when they face QB Max Duggan and host TCU (3-0, 0-0) on Saturday in a Big 12 game at Fort Worth, Texas. "Max is a great quarterback, looking a lot more athletic than he has in the past," Oklahoma linebacker DaShaun White said. "We're gonna go over there, and they're gonna try to put up whatever they're gonna try to put on us. Most important thing is that we come ready to play and stop the run. That's where it starts." Kansas State quarterback Adrian Martinez ran for 148 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-34 win over the Sooners. Duggan has three career games with more than 100 yards rushing and ran for 92 against Oklahoma in 2019. This season, though, Duggan has just 33 rushing yards after being sacked five times in last week's 42-34 win over SMU. But he has excelled through the air, completing 77 percent of his passes for eight touchdowns and no interceptions. TCU enters the game ranked No. 9 nationally in total offense, averaging 510 yards per game. The Horned Frogs are averaging more than 215 yards on the ground, with Kendre Miller and Emari Demercado leading the way. | |||||||
09-29-22 | Utah State v. BYU UNDER 60.5 | 26-38 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Jaren Hall is a rising pro prospect and the BYU quarterback will look to have another big game when he leads the No. 19 Cougars into Thursday night's contest against visiting Utah State at Provo, Utah. Hall has topped 300 yards in back-to-back games and has nine touchdown passes against one interception this season for the Cougars (3-1). He matched his career high of four touchdown passes and passed for a season-high 337 yards during Saturday's 38-24 home win over Wyoming. He enters the game against Utah State (1-3) with a streak of 115 consecutive passes without being intercepted. It is his third career streak of 100 or more throws without being picked off. He also has streaks of 163 and 119 in his career. | |||||||
09-24-22 | Stanford v. Washington OVER 62 | Top | 22-40 | Push | 0 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
A feeling of excitement not felt for some time in Seattle is building for the Washington Huskies football program, which debuted in the 2022 NCAA Top 25 rankings at No. 18 this week following a 39-28 win over last week's No. 11, Michigan State. This Saturday, the Huskies (3-0) look to keep winning with the start of their Pac-12 season, hosting Stanford at Husky Stadium in a night game. Two years ago, Washington couldn't play for the Pac-12 championship because its roster was ravaged by COVID cases. Last season, the team finished 4-8 overall and head coach Jimmy Lake was fired in November over an incident involving a player on the team. But this season looks different. Washington has 136 points scored in its first three games, even though the first two were at home against Kent State and FCS Portland State. | |||||||
09-24-22 | Idaho State v. Northern Colorado OVER 51 | 14-35 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 20 m | Show | |
It will be interesting to see if Jacob Sirmon will start at quarterback again. The junior has struggled at times, but he has also created some big plays. Aside from sophomore Alec Lewis entering the game for one snap, the Sirmon was in the backfield for the entire Lamar game. Regardless of who is at QB, the Bears should have a chance to succeed against a defense that has given up an average of 500 opponent yards per game. Its first two opponents were FBS teams, but it still allowed more than 400 yards against Central Arkansas. | |||||||
09-23-22 | Boise State v. UTEP UNDER 44.5 | Top | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
UTEP can’t run the ball. Worse yet, it can’t get the chains moving. The two tie together – it can’t run, so it sets up more difficult third down chances, and the lack of a steady passing game then shows up. Oddly enough, the best passing day so far completion-wise was against Oklahoma, but that was the only time in the four games the Miners managed to hit more than 45% of their throws. Boise State’s defense is outstanding on third downs, and it’s been dominant against the run over the last few games. It gave up 25 yards to New Mexico, and 26 to UT Martin. | |||||||
09-03-22 | Tulsa v. Wyoming UNDER 46 | Top | 37-40 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
The under is 6-1 in Tulsa's last 7 games against the Mountain West Conference and 8-2-1 in their last 11 September games. | |||||||
09-03-22 | Delaware v. Navy UNDER 49.5 | 14-7 | Win | 100 | 1 h 54 m | Show | |
The under is 4-1 in the Hens last 5 non-conference games and 5-2 in their last 7 games in Spetember. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Utah v. Oregon State UNDER 57.5 | 34-42 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
We simply can't rely on Utah's offense to put up enough points to put this game over. If Utah can stop the beavers on third downs we have an easy winner. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Temple v. South Florida UNDER 55 | Top | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Don’t get caught up in the 52-3 loss to Cincinnati – that’s just the way the American Athletic Conference rolls this year. Temple was able to get by Memphis in a key win thanks to a decent passing attack and just enough balance to get by. Oh there are issues, but the pass defense hasn’t been all that bad – at least until the last two games – there isn’t a turnover problem, and the team is rested after getting two weeks off. Now it gets a USF team that just can’t get this thing going. The Bulls struggle to get to 300 yards offensively | |||||||
10-23-21 | East Carolina v. Houston UNDER 57 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 5 h 28 m | Show |
The Pirates have the parts to get into fun shootouts, but they’re not consistent enough. When the O rolls, they win. When it doesn’t, they lose, and by roll that means crank up 388 yards or more. Get there, and they’re 3-0. Don’t, and they’re 0-4. The other side of the ball hasn’t been bad. This is one of the better East Carolina defenses in a while, with the ability to get behind the line and the aggressiveness to come up with enough takeaways to matter | |||||||
10-21-21 | Tulane v. SMU UNDER 71 | Top | 26-55 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 7 m | Show |
SMU is 47th in the nation in points allowed with an average of 22.2 per game. The Mustangs are allowing an average of 390.7 yards per game including 138.8 yards rushing and 251.8 yards per game passing. Opponents are averaging 3.8 yards per carry and 5.7 yards per play against the SMU defense. The Mustangs defense is led by linebacker Shaine Hailey, who has a team-best 37 tackles. The leader in quarterback sacks with 4.0 is defensive end Gary Wiley and the leader in interceptions with 2 is safety Isaiah Nwokobia. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Utah State v. UNLV UNDER 64 | Top | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 15 h 38 m | Show |
UNLV is getting more out of the passing game, and it’s been more competitive over the last few games, but there isn’t enough of a rushing attack, the pass rush is mediocre, the ability to come back isn’t there. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Troy v. Texas State UNDER 48.5 | 31-28 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Can the Troy defense continue to take the ball away? It’s been a weird season with a 13-point loss to ULM and a nine-point loss to South Carolina. When the defense comes up with a slew of takeaways, good things happen. The Trojans generated seven turnovers in the three wins, came up with three more in the close loss to South Carolina that should’ve been a blowout, and there was just one takeaway in the other two losses. Texas State has turned the ball over way too much with nine giveaways, and Troy needs the big defensive plays | |||||||
10-16-21 | Tulsa v. South Florida UNDER 56.5 | Top | 32-31 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
A shootout is expected in this one but the total on this one is a little higher than I anticipated. I think the oddsmakers have given us enough cushion to easily cash this ticket. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Illinois v. Virginia UNDER 56.5 | Top | 14-42 | Win | 100 | 2 h 29 m | Show |
In addition to the offense playing well, the hope is that the defense can build off of the shutout from their first game after allowing 29.6 points per game last season. The strength of the defense is in the linebacker group with Nick Jackson leading the defense with 12 tackles while Noah Taylor and Hunter Stewart combined for 12 tackles and 3.5 for loss. In addition, safety Joey Blount is going to make plenty of plays in the middle of the defense as he had eight tackles in the first game and expects to remain a key piece in the Cavaliers' defense. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Campbell v. Liberty UNDER 65 | Top | 7-48 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
These are two horrible defenses, based on what we saw in the Spring, but I always say that when it looks to good to be true it usually is. If this game is a blowout expect there to be enough ground attack to keep this one UNDER the total. | |||||||
09-03-21 | South Dakota State v. Colorado State OVER 51.5 | Top | 42-23 | Win | 100 | 16 h 33 m | Show |
Colorado State should be able to throw a bit which will give us just enough offense to push this game over. The receiving corps is good, TE Trey McBride is great, and the South Dakota State secondary might have a few issues. The Jackrabbits didn’t give up multiple touchdown passes until the national championship loss to Sam Houston State, but the teams on the slate that could throw were able to do it. | |||||||
09-03-21 | Old Dominion v. Wake Forest OVER 61.5 | Top | 10-42 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 42 m | Show |
Wake Forest had its struggles on defense last season, allowing 435.7 yards and 32.8 points per game. After failing to get much offense going against Clemson in last season's opener, the Demon Deacons scored 20 or more points in their eight remaining games and went over 30 in five of those contests Such high-powered offense was due in no small part to Wake Forest’s success through the air, led by Sam Hartman’s 247.1 passing yards per game, good for a top-five finish in the conference and a top-30 mark nationally. | |||||||
09-02-21 | The Citadel v. Coastal Carolina UNDER 55 | Top | 14-52 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 25 m | Show |
The Citadel is going to run, run again, and then run again with an occasional downfield pass in the mix. Coastal Carolina might have had time to prepare for the option attack, but it’s a whole other problem when it’s in action. The Bulldogs are great at grinding out drives, they’re going to dominate the time of possession battle – they’re going to have the ball for close to 35 minutes. | |||||||
12-24-20 | Hawaii v. Houston UNDER 60.5 | 28-14 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
The coronavirus pandemic is having an effect on this game. The game is usually played in Albuquerque at the University of New Mexico but will move to Texas due to restrictions in the state. It’s the first appearance in this bowl game for both teams. This game will produce a sloppy pace. | |||||||
12-06-20 | Western Kentucky v. Charlotte OVER 46 | 37-19 | Win | 100 | 2 h 9 m | Show | |
The Hilltopper offense has not racked up the same kind of accolades throughout the season, but have shown significant improvement in the last few weeks. Running back Gaej Walker totaled 127 rushing yards last week against FIU, which was his highest total of the season. With an offensive line that’s finally starting to gel, Walker could get a repeat performance on Sunday. |
