12-23-21 | Central Florida +6.5 v. Florida | 29-17 | Win | 100 | 150 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Central Florida. I like Central Florida to cover the spread against Florida in this game on Thursday. UCF looked really good near the end of their year winning 5 of their final 6 games. Gus Malzahn did a good job getting them moving in the right direction this year and for the 1st time in a while, UCF actually has a pretty good defense that isn't getting gashed for points all the time. They have given up less than 20 points in 5 of their previous 6 games and their offense has still looked good during that time too. They have scored 28+ in more than half of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year. Florida barely made it into this game with a 6-6 record this year and they had to win their final game of the year just to become eligible for a bowl game, and they won that game just by 3 points at home over their rival Florida State. Their coach Dan Mullen has already left the school for another next year and they will just be trying to get by this game and get to next year when Billy Napier takes over the program. I don't think that the Florida players really have any motivation to play hard in this game after a season that was a lot lower than the bar they had set for themselves this year. I think the UCF players will be motivated to try to get a win here and cap off the 1st year of progress that new coach Malzahn has put together in this program. Emory Jones has also entered the transfer portal along with a few other players so Florida will not even be playing this game with all of their top players. I like UCF to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-27 Central Florida. | |||||||
12-21-21 | Wyoming -3 v. Kent State | 52-38 | Win | 100 | 98 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Wyoming. I like Wyoming to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Tuesday. Wyoming has not looked good in their games lately near the end of the year but this team is happy to be in a bowl game at all after the way their year started to go sideways on them and I think that they are going to get up for this game and try to bring home the win. Wyoming has been very up and down this year but they have shown some flashes on offense putting up 30+ points in a lot of their games, but then they have also not looked good in some games and have stayed under 20 points in those games. I think this is 1 of those games that they can score 30+ points in because Kent State has a terrible defense and they gave up 40+ points in their conference championship game, their most important game all year and their defense still looked terrible. I don't think the Kent State players are going to get up for this game since this is not the bowl game they wanted to play in. They had their sights set on getting their revenge over Northern Illinois in the title game and winning the MAC title but they didn't get to do any of that as they lost to Northern Illinois for the 2nd time this year losing 41-23 in the title game. Kent State has given up 40+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and that has been a common theme for them all year in their games. Their defense is really bad and I think Wyoming is going to be able to score on them with ease. I am also expecting Kent State to come out and play this game with no heart so I see Wyoming pulling away in a lopsided game here. I like Wyoming to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Wyoming. | |||||||
12-18-21 | Oregon State v. Utah State +7.5 | Top | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Utah State. I like Utah State to cover the spread against Oregon State in this game on Saturday. Utah State is getting around 7 points in this game and they finished the year off with a much better record than Oregon State did at 10-3 and they are a conference champion after beating San Diego State in the MWC title game. Other than 1 slip up against Wyoming, Utah State looked really good in their final games of the year and they were winning their games by large margins. They won the conference championship game alone by 30+ points, putting up 46 points on the San Diego State defense that was really good all year long. They have won 5 of their previous 6 games and all 5 of those wins were by 20+ points. Utah State has been having a great year on both offense and defense. Oregon State has been very up and down this year though. They have won 2 of their previous 3 games but have lost 3 of their previous 5 games and their defense has looked bad in all of those games whether they won or lost. They didn't give up more than 15+ points in their previous 2 wins but they have given up 20+ points in most of their wins this year. They have lost 5 games this year and they have given up 30+ points in all of those games. Oregon State does not have a good defense and I think that is going to be a huge problem here with the way that Utah State has looked on offense. I think Utah State is going to keep scoring in this game and run up the score on Oregon State to the point where they won't be able to come back. I think Utah State is better and has a good chance at winning this game with all of the momentum they have from their conference championship. I like Utah State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Utah State. | |||||||
12-18-21 | UTEP v. Fresno State -11 | 24-31 | Loss | -112 | 25 h 13 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Fresno State. I like Fresno State to cover the spread against UTEP in this game on Saturday. Fresno State had a great year and they finished strong with 5 wins in their final 6 games but if it wasn't for a loss to Boise State, they would've been in the MWC title game. Their defense looked really good in their final games, they did not give up 10+ points in their 2 most recent games and they put up 30+ points in both of those games, winning each by 20+ points. I think Fresno State's defense will be able to shut down the UTEP offense here and Fresno has looked so good on offense lately that I am expecting them to pull away more and more as this game goes on. UTEP had a great start to their year and were 6-1 going into the 2nd half of the year but they really slipped up in their games and started to look really bad on the field. After starting the year 6-1, they finished the year 7-5 meaning that they went 1-4 down the final stretch of the year. They played some tough teams like UAB and UTSA who went on to win the conference title, but they also lost games to Florida Atlantic and North Texas which is not a good look on them. UTEP didn't look good on defense either and they were giving up a lot of points in their final games of the season. They gave up 28+ points in their 2 most recent games, 1 of those teams being Rice and their terrible offense. They have also given up 28+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games and I think that Fresno State is going to have no troubles moving the ball down the field and scoring points here. UTEP does not have a great offense either and I think that they will struggle to score with the way that Fresno State's defense has looked lately. I like Fresno State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Fresno State. | |||||||
12-04-21 | Georgia -6.5 v. Alabama | 24-41 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Alabama in this game. Georgia has been the best team in the country for most of the year and they are by far the best team. Their defense has looked great all year and they have the best defense in the country by a mile. They recorded shutouts in 3 different games this year and they only gave up 83 points all year through 12 games. That is averaging less than 1 TD given up per game all year. It is not just their defense that's good though, their offense has looked really good lately too. They have put up 40+ points in all of their previous 3 games. They also finished as the only undefeated team in the SEC this year. Alabama lost 1 game all year against Texas A&M early in the year and they went on a big run after that but they have looked shaky in a lot of their games despite getting the wins. Their previous 2 games were cutting it really close. They beat Arkansas at home by just a touchdown but they struggled to pull away in that game the entire time. Their most recent game was even worse though, they beat Auburn by 2 points in OT and they were losing by a touchdown in the last 2 minutes of that game before coming back with seconds left. It is clear to me that this is not the same Alabama team from past years that dominates every team they play. I think that Georgia is that team this year, their offense can put up a lot of points on you and their defense will not let you score at all. I think Alabama is going to struggle to put up points on this great defense since they have been struggling against worse teams as of late. I like Georgia to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-14 Georgia. | |||||||
12-04-21 | Appalachian State -2.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 16-24 | Loss | -113 | 25 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State. I like Appalachian State to cover the spread against Louisiana Lafayette in this game on Saturday. App State has looked very good in their final stretch of the season this year. They have won 6 games in a row and both their offense and defense has looked great in those games. They only scored 27 points in their most recent game but they have put up 30+ points in 5 of their previous 6 games. Their defense has been even better as of late and has given up 7 points or less in 3 games in a row now. Louisiana has also looked good lately but their defense has not looked nearly as good as App State's has, and neither has their offense. They only put up 21 points in their most recent game and they won that game by 5 points giving up 16 to Louisiana Monroe who was 4-8 this year. App State's last loss this year was against Louisiana so this is not only the title game for them but also their chance to get revenge for that bad loss. They were embarrassed in that game losing 41-13 when they came in as a big favorite. I think that they have been waiting for another opportunity to play Louisiana again and now that they are getting that chance I think that they are going to make good use of it. I expect App State to play hard here and I think that they have looked a lot better than Louisiana has in their games lately. I like App State to cover the spread here and get their revenge. T.M. Prediction: 38-28 Appalachian State. | |||||||
12-04-21 | Kent State v. Northern Illinois +3.5 | Top | 23-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread against Kent State in this game on Saturday. Northern Illinois looked really good all year and they finished with the best record in the MAC this year. They lost their most recent game to Western Michigan but I think that they were looking ahead to this game and will be ready to play Kent State here. Northern Illinois lost to Kent State at the beginning of November and it was a close game, Northern Illinois losing it by 5 points 52-47. I think that Northern Illinois is going to be looking for their revenge against Kent State here and I expect them to play hard since this is the title game too. Kent State has looked a bit shaky in their games lately. They barely won their previous game against Miami Ohio winning that game by 1 point in OT. They had to win that game to get into this one too so they put a lot of effort into that game and I think that Northern Illinois has been focused on this game for twice the amount of time that Kent State has been. Northern Illinois was dominating conference teams all year and every little thing went their way this year in their games since there were quite a few games that they just barely won by 3 points or less. I think it is Northern Illinois' year and I think that they are good enough to win this game and the title. I like Northern Illinois to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-34 Northern Illinois. | |||||||
12-03-21 | Western Kentucky v. UTSA +3.5 | 41-49 | Win | 100 | 27 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UTSA. I like UTSA to cover the spread against Western Kentucky in this game on Friday. UTSA has had a great season finishing with the best record in their conference and only had 1 loss all year yet they are still not the favorite in this game. Their loss came in their most recent game against North Texas but I think that was a look ahead spot to this game for them since they had already cliched their spot in this Championship game. I think that they are going to play much better than they did last week and bounce back in this game in a big way. Western Kentucky has won 7 games in a row but they have not had as good a year as UTSA has had. Western Kentucky has had 4 losses this year and their last loss was against UTSA back in early October. They scored 46 points in that game but also gave up 56 to UTSA. I think that UTSA has been waiting all year for this game and have had their eyes on the title for a long time. I think that they were looking ahead to this game last week and will be very prepared to come and get the upset win. I think UTSA is good enough to win this game outright and they have already beaten Western Kentucky once this year. I like UTSA to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 45-42 UTSA. | |||||||
11-27-21 | Notre Dame -20 v. Stanford | 45-14 | Win | 100 | 32 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Notre Dame. I like Notre Dame to cover the spread against Stanford in this game on Saturday. Notre Dame has really started to look a lot better in their games lately with impressive performances on both sides of the ball. Their defense has looked great and has not allowed an opposing team to score 7+ points in their previous 3 games. Their offense has also been great as they have put up 28+ points in their previous 6 games. Their offense has actually put up 27+ points in all of their wins this year. Stanford hasn't been having a good year, they showed some good flashes at the beginning of the year but they have gone downhill over their final stretch of games to end the year. They have played 3 games in a row that they lost by 20+ points and 2 of those games were at home. Notre Dame is the 5th ranked team in the country and now that they have gotten rolling it's going to take a lot more than a team like Stanford to give them a run for their money. Notre Dame just shut out the team they faced in their previous game and I think that Stanford will be lucky if they can even score in this game with the way their offense has looked. I think Notre Dame is going to be able to score points at will on them. I like Notre Dame to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 44-7 Notre Dame. | |||||||
11-27-21 | Wisconsin v. Minnesota +7 | 13-23 | Win | 100 | 28 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota. I like Minnesota to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Saturday. I think this is going to be a close game between these 2 rival teams. Minnesota has looked good in most of their conference games this year with a few slip ups here and there. They really slipped up against Illinois losing at home in a completed dud of a game for them but they played Iowa the next week very well losing that game by 5 points. Their offense has looked really good in their other games and they have put up 30+ points in 4 of their 6 previous games. Their defense has also looked really solid and has not given up 17+ points in 4 of their previous 5 games. I think Minnesota's run game has been really good too lately rushing for 200+ yards in their previous 2 games and I think they are going to lean heavy on their run game again here. Wisconsin has looked really good in their games leading up to this one but they couldn't pull away from a struggling Nebraska last week and let them hang around all day in that game with a chance to even win it. Wisconsin is a run heavy team too with a really good defense on top of it. I think that they are going to rely on their defense and their running in this game and I think both teams will be battling for control on the ground. I expect this to be a lower scoring game with a slower pace that both teams stay within reach of each other the entire time. I like Minnesota to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Wisconsin. | |||||||
11-27-21 | Charlotte v. Old Dominion -9.5 | 34-56 | Win | 100 | 26 h 57 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Old Dominion. I like Old Dominion to cover the spread against Charlotte in this game on Saturday. Old Dominion has looked really good in their games as the year is nearing an end. They have won 4 games in a row and their defense has looked good in those games, giving up no more than 20 points in 3 of those games. Their offense has also looked pretty good putting up 30+ points in 2 of those games. Charlotte has been trending in the opposite direction lately as their year comes to an end here. They have lost 4 of their 5 previous games and they haven't looked good in any of them. Their defense hasn't looked good lately and has given up 40+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. They also gave up 24 points to Rice who is not very good and barely made it by them with a win in OT. Both of these teams are 5-6 so only 1 of them will be able to qualify for a bowl game after this final game and the other team will be going home for the year. Old Dominion is at home here and I think that they have been playing much better than Charlotte has been lately. They will be hungry to put this game away and become bowl eligible with a win here. I like Old Dominion to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-20 Old Dominion. | |||||||
11-26-21 | Colorado v. Utah -23.5 | 13-28 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Utah. I like Utah to cover the spread against Colorado in this game on Friday. Utah has looked really good lately and they are well on their way to the Pac-12 title game. They just destroyed Oregon, who was a top 4 team in the country at the time, in their previous game winning 38-7. That is the 2nd game in their previous 3 games that they only gave up 7 points to the opposing team. Their offense has looked really good all year, they have put up 30+ points in 7 games in a row. Colorado has not had a good year and their offense has looked terrible all year. They have struggled to even get to 20 points in most of their games this year. Their defense has not looked good either, giving up 30+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games. I think Utah is way more talented than Colorado and will be able to score at will in this game. I think Colorado is going to struggle to put up points like they have in a lot of games this year too. I like Utah to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 52-10 Utah. | |||||||
11-26-21 | Iowa +1 v. Nebraska | Top | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Friday. Iowa has been having a great year with just 2 losses, they haven't looked the best in all of their games this year but they are still a very talented team. Their only losses of the year were to Purdue right after they played a very emotional game against Penn State just barely getting that win, and to Wisconsin right after that who looks to be on their way to the Big 10 title game. Their offense has looked really good in their previous 2 games, they put up 27 points and 33 points and their running game was very good too. Nebraska has not been having the year that they planned to with only 3 wins this year. They have lost 5 games in a row and they were all close games that they had a chance to win in. They were unable to win any of them though and I think that this team just has a problem playing a full 60 minutes and finishing their games off. I also think they have fallen short so many times because they are good but just not good enough. Iowa has a really good defense and their offense has looked really good too lately. I think Iowa should be the favorite here, they are just the better team. I like Iowa to cover the spread and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Iowa. | |||||||
11-26-21 | Ohio -6 v. Bowling Green | 10-21 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio. I like Ohio to cover the spread against Bowling Green State in this game on Friday. Ohio has looked good in their games lately but they hit a snag in their previous game when they lost to Toledo. Their offense has looked good all year, putting up 25+ points in a lot of their games. Bowling Green State has not been having a good year and they haven't looked good in their previous 2 games especially. Their offense didn't even show up in those games, putting up 17 and 7 points. Their defense has not looked good either and has been a big problem for them all year. They have given up 30+ points 6 games in a row including a game against Akron who is 1 of the worst teams in the MAC. They even gave up 40+ points in 3 of those games. I think that Ohio is going to shred through their defense in this game and put up a lot of points. I also think that Bowling Green State is going to struggle to put up points on Ohio and I think Ohio will pull away from them and make the game out of reach for Bowling Green State the longer it goes on. I like Ohio to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-20 Ohio. | |||||||
11-25-21 | Fresno State v. San Jose State +7.5 | 40-9 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Jose State. I like San Jose State to cover the spread against Fresno State in this game on Thursday. Fresno State needs a win in this game to go to the conference championship but I think San Jose State will be looking to spoil their season here. San Jose State also need a win in this game to become bowl eligible or their year will be over. I think this is a game that the San Jose State players have been looking forward to all year and I think they are going to show up big in this game. This is rivalry weekend so I expect them to play hard in this game and keep it a close game. Fresno State's defense is not the strongest so San Jose State will be able to move the ball up the field on them and put points up on the board. I think San Jose State is going to play this game with a lot of heart and emotion and I expect them to be a tough team to beat in this game. I like San Jose State to cover the spread here and keep the game close. T.M. Prediction: 34-30 Fresno State. | |||||||
11-20-21 | Vanderbilt v. Ole Miss -36 | 17-31 | Loss | -107 | 30 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Vanderbilt in this game on Saturday. Ole Miss has looked a lot better on defense in their games lately and they have been very consistent on offense too. Vanderbilt is the worst team in the conference and they have been very inconsistent in their games this year. They have looked okay in some games but then they have games where they don't even put a touchdown on the board and give up 40+ points to the opposing team in the process. I think Ole Miss is going to blow Vanderbilt out in their last home game of the year to put on a show for the fans. Ole Miss has the defense to keep Vanderbilt off the board for most of the game and I think their offense also has the ability to put this game out of reach very quickly. I like Ole Miss to pull away and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 56-7 Ole Miss. | |||||||
11-20-21 | SMU v. Cincinnati -10.5 | 14-48 | Win | 100 | 26 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread against SMU in this game on Saturday. Cincinnati is ranked 5th in the country at the moment and they have 2 games left this year to prove why they deserve to move up into a playoff spot. They have been playing great all year and were even ranked 2nd in the country at 1 point but now they are 5th and with Ohio State playing Michigan State this week, they know anything could happen there and give them an opportunity to move up ahead of Ohio State. They need to take care of their own business 1st though and that starts with blowing out the team in front of that to try and earn some style points. SMU slipped up a few weeks ago losing 2 games in a row but they have bounced back in their previous game last week. They have not performed well in their conference games on the road though, with those 2 losses in a row coming on the road and their win last week coming at home. I think SMU is going to have a rough time here on the road again and I expect Cincinnati to come out strong and take a big lead early. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-24 Cincinnati. | |||||||
11-20-21 | UAB v. UTSA -4.5 | 31-34 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: UTSA. I like UTSA to cover the spread against UAB in this game on Saturday. With just 2 games left this year, UTSA will be looking to win their conference title and preserve their undefeated record. UTSA has won every game in conference play, except for 1 game, by 10+ points and the 1 they did not was a 6 point win over Western Kentucky. Their defense has looked really good in their previous 4 games lately, giving up less than 17 points in 3/4 of those previous games. UAB has looked alright this year but they are a team that has been very up and down in their games this year and they also have some questionable losses on their schedule this year too. I think UTSA is an all-around better team on both offense and defense, and I think that they are going to be motivated to play hard in this game and win it knowing they are going up against a good team in their conference that still has a chance to overtake them and go to the championship game with a win here. I like UTSA to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-17 UTSA. | |||||||
11-20-21 | Michigan State +19.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 7-56 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Ohio State in this game on Saturday. Michigan State has looked really good all year, they only have 1 loss this year against Purdue but that loss came right after a big game against Michigan where they won so that game against Purdue was a let down spot for them. They bounced back from that performance last week when they beat Maryland by 19 points. There is no doubt that they have been looking forward to this game all year. Ohio State is ranked in the top 4 at the moment but a loss in this game could destroy their playoff hopes altogether and I think Michigan State is going play like they want to deliver that loss to them. Michigan State has a really good defense and I think they will keep Ohio State from running away with this game. This game is very important so I think it is going to be a much closer game with 2 really good teams here. I like Michigan State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-27 Ohio State. | |||||||
11-19-21 | Arizona v. Washington State -14.5 | 18-44 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington State. I like Washington State to cover the spread against Arizona in this game on Friday. Washington State has really looked good in conference play as the year is coming to an end. They have picked up 4 wins in their 5 previous conference games. They just lost in their previous game to Oregon and I think they are going to be looking for a bounce back in this game. Washington State is going to be hungry for a win in this game, they have 2 games left this year and are 1 win away from becoming bowl eligible. They are taking on the worst team in the Pac-12 with just 1 win all year, I think they are going to come out strong in this game and ensure they get that 1 win they need here. Arizona has looked terrible all year and the tone was set for their season very early on when they lost to state rival Northern Arizona, a team from the FCS. This is a very bad team and they are not going to have a good time against Washington State who still has something to play for and is looking for 1 more win at least. I think they are going to bury Arizona here to get that win they need. I like Washington State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Washington State. | |||||||
11-16-21 | Bowling Green +17 v. Miami-OH | 7-34 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Bowling Green State. I like Bowling Green State to cover the spread against Miami (OH) in this game on Tuesday. Bowling Green has looked a lot better in this part of the season than they did at the beginning. Their last game was terrible as they were destroyed by Toledo, ruining everything that they had accomplished in their win over Buffalo. They did look really good in that Buffalo game though, and there has been flashes of that kind of play from them all year like when they beat Minnesota earlier in the year. The defense has the pieces there and they have a great coach guiding them in the right direction over there. Miami (OH) is tied for 1st place in their division with Kent State and they still have hopes of making it to the title game. A loss here would be a big blow to those hopes and with not many games left to pour their heart out in, I think Bowling Green is going to try to play spoiler in this game. They are going to be looking for a strong finish to their year over in Bowling Green so they can build on that next year and I think this is the perfect game to make a statement in. I like Bowling Green to cover the spread here and give Miami (OH) a run for their money. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Miami (OH). | |||||||
11-13-21 | NC State +2 v. Wake Forest | 42-45 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: NC State. I like NC State to cover the spread against Wake Forest in this game on Saturday. NC State has looked really good in their games lately and they have been getting better and better as the weeks go on. They had 1 slip up against Miami but other than that, their defense has looked great and hasn't given up 14+ points in any of their conference games besides Miami. Wake Forest was finally handed their 1st loss of the year against UNC last week and now I think another Carolina team that's even better is going to take them down here. Wake Forest has a great offense that's no doubt, but their defense is terrible and part of the reason why they keep finding themselves in these games where they need to score 50 points just to win. I think NC State is going to have no problem keeping up in this game and putting the points up on the board. I do think Wake Forest will struggle to put points up though because of the great defense that NC State possesses. They are going to make it difficult for Wake Forest to score in this game and I think that is going to be the difference here. I like NC State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 38-27 NC State. | |||||||
11-13-21 | Georgia -20 v. Tennessee | Top | 41-17 | Win | 100 | 48 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Tennessee in this game on Saturday. Georgia is the best team in the country this year and they have the best defense by far. Georgia's defense has not given up 14+ points in a single game this year and they haven't even given up 75 points total for the year. Their offense is no slouch either though, they have put up 30+ points in every game this year except for their first game against Clemson. Tennessee has looked better this year as the weeks go on but I think their defense is going to get burned by Georgia in this game and I don't think they are going to be able to score a lot of points either. Tennessee just lost a few weeks ago to Alabama by almost 30 points and they still put up 24 points in that game. I don't think they will be able to put up anywhere near that many points on Georgia's defense and I think Georgia is still going to put up roughly the same as Alabama did. This defense is just too good to let Tennessee score with ease so I like Georgia to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Georgia. | |||||||
11-13-21 | Minnesota +5.5 v. Iowa | 22-27 | Win | 100 | 48 h 3 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota. I like Minnesota to cover the spread against Iowa in this game on Saturday. Minnesota was looking really good in their games before losing last week. They had won 4 games in a row, all by 7+ points, right before that loss to Illinois. I think that they may have been looking ahead to this game last week and I expect them to be embarrassed after that loss. I like them to come out and play hard in this game to make up for the way they played last week. Ever since Iowa pulled off that win over Penn State they haven't looked the same since. They only put up 23 points in that game but then put up just 7 points in 2 games in a row after that. They ended the drought with a win last week but they could only muster up a 5 point win over Northwestern who has not looked good this year, and they only put up 17 points to win that game. I think this offense has some major problems at the moment and they are going to be getting a Minnesota team that is very upset after a bad loss to Illinois last week. I think Minnesota even has a chance for the upset here but I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 21-20 Penn State. | |||||||
11-13-21 | New Mexico State v. Alabama -51 | 3-59 | Win | 100 | 45 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against New Mexico State in this game on Saturday. Alabama has worked their way back into a college football playoff spot after dropping a game to Texas A&M a few weeks ago. With the season winding down they will be looking to hang onto that spot and Nick Saban has already stressed to his team earlier in the year that it doesn't matter who the competition is on any given Saturday, they need to get up for every game they play. Now is the best time against a horrid New Mexico State team to pad their chances with a big win over the Aggies in this game. Alabama has had a tougher schedule this year but in the games that they played some really bad teams, they put up over 50 points and didn't give up more than 2 scores. New Mexico State has just 1 win this year and they only put up 13 points in their last outing, and that was against Utah State. I don't think they are going to be scoring many points on Alabama's defense and I think the offense is going to rip them apart. I like Alabama to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 63-3 Alabama. | |||||||
11-12-21 | Cincinnati -23 v. South Florida | 45-28 | Loss | -111 | 41 h 46 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread against South Florida in this game on Friday. Cincinnati was taken out of the top 4 and they have few games left to try and get themselves back in a top 4 spot if they want to see the college football playoffs this year. They need a big win in this game to help their case out and I think that they can get it here. Cincinnati has not looked good in the 1st half of their games lately but they are pulling away a lot in the 2nd half. With few games left in their season I expect them to come out with a quick start and take a big lead right away. South Florida has looked a lot better lately than when they started the season but this is still the same team that was struggling to score any points on offense in their 1st couple of games. I think they are going to struggle on a good defense like Cincinnati has and that will leave Cincinnati with opportunity to pull away on the scoreboard as the game goes on. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 41-10 Cincinnati. | |||||||
11-09-21 | Akron v. Western Michigan -25.5 | 40-45 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Western Michigan. I like Western Michigan to cover the spread against Akron in this game on Tuesday. Western Michigan has not looked good in their last few games with their last win coming 3 games ago where they destroyed Kent State 64-31. Luckily, they are getting an easy opponent here to bounce back from their 2 losses in a row since Akron is 1 of the worst teams in the MAC. Akron only have 1 win this year and they have lost 3 games in a row. Akron's only win this year came against Bowling Green who might just be the only team in the MAC that's actually worse than them. I think this is a great spot for Western Michigan to bounce back and get back in the win column. I think they can win this game by 30+ points with their defense holding down Akron to not a lot of scoring. I like Western Michigan to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Western Michigan. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Iowa -12 v. Northwestern | 17-12 | Loss | -102 | 16 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game against Northwestern on Saturday. Iowa have lost 2 bad games in a row now and have really mucked up their season in just those 2 games. They went from being a top 10 team and leading their division in the conference to just out of the race in everything with those 2 losses. I still think they are a good team with a great defense and I expect that they will want to finish their year strong so I think they are going to bounce back in this one. Northwestern has looked really bad in their games this year so I think this is the perfect spot for Iowa to use this as a get right game. Northwestern hasn't put up more 15+ points in each of their last 2 games and they gave up 30+ points in both of those. I think they are really going to struggle against this defense and it is going to lead to turnovers that will dig them deep into a hole. I like Iowa to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-7 Iowa. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Michigan State -3 v. Purdue | 29-40 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Michigan State. I like Michigan State to cover the spread against Purdue in this game on Saturday. Michigan State is ranked 3rd in the country at the moment and have finally worked themselves into a college football playoff spot. I think they are going to do whatever they can to make sure that they hold on to that spot. That means that they have to pull off a convincing win in this game and I think they can do that. They have looked good in conference play this year but it was their last game that was really impressive. Before that game, they were winning games with their defense keeping a lot of them low scoring. They got down a lot in their last game and against a good team and great defense in Michigan but they were able to collect themselves and pull off a giant comeback winning the game late with no time left on the clock. That takes a lot of heart to do so I think this is a very tough team that can get the job done here and do what they need to do to keep their playoff spot. Purdue is nothing special and their offense doesn't really put up a ton of points in their games. I think Michigan State can pull away from them here and cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 31-13 Michigan State. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Temple v. East Carolina -15 | 3-45 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: East Carolina. I like East Carolina to cover the spread against Temple in this game on Saturday. East Carolina has looked really good in their games lately and have been playing tough in their conference play. They only have the 1 bad loss to UCF but they also have 2 big wins by 15+ points and they have another loss in there to Houston but they lost that game in OT and Houston is very good with a 7-1 record and are undefeated in conference play. Temple have really fallen into a hole lately and have been destroyed in their last 3 games. They most they put up in 1 of those games is 14 points, failing to even put up 10 in either of the other 2 games. They have also given up 30+ points in each of those games. Their defense isn't playing well lately and their offense is not going to be able to keep up with the way they have been playing either. I think Temple will struggle to put up points in this game which will let East Carolina run away with the game as it goes on. I like East Carolina to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 34-10 East Carolina. | |||||||
11-06-21 | Ohio State -14 v. Nebraska | Top | 26-17 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Nebraska in this game on Saturday. Ohio State have looked much better in every game since their little hiccup against Oregon at the beginning of the season. They have put up over 50+ points in most of those games and have put up 30+ points in all of them. Their defense is playing much better too, giving up less than 20 points in each of their last 5 games, except their last 1 against Penn State. Nebraska is no Penn State though, and I don't think they will be able to even put up 20 points on this Ohio State defense. Nebraska have lost 3 games in a row now and even though they made all of those games close where they had a chance to win the game, they still lost all of them to teams much worse than Ohio State. CJ Stroud is looking to express why his team deserves a playoff berth and a blowout win here would really help their case out a lot. I think they are going to go out there and destroy Nebraska without taking their foot off the gas at any point. I like Ohio State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-14 Ohio State. | |||||||
11-05-21 | Virginia Tech -3 v. Boston College | 3-17 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech. I like Virginia Tech to cover the spread against Boston College in this game on Friday. Virginia Tech looked really good in their last game when they beat Georgia Tech by 9 points. They grabbed a lead early in that game and were able to hang on the whole game while holding Georgia Tech to 0 points in the 4th quarter. Boston College had a very good start to their year and things were looking promising for them until they hit conference play. They are winless in conference play this year and they have lost 4 games in a row since starting 4-0 this year. They have not been able to put up 14+ points in any of their conference games and they have given up 20+ points in all of their last 3 games. Boston College is going in the wrong direction to finish of their year but Virginia Tech looks like they are trying to turn things around. Even in the conference games that they lost, they didn't look bad and kept a lot of those games within a touchdown. I like Virginia Tech to pick on the low hanging fruit here and cover the spread against Boston College. T.M. Prediction: 28-13 Virginia Tech. | |||||||
11-03-21 | Northern Illinois v. Kent State -3.5 | 47-52 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Kent State. I like Kent State to cover the spread against Northern Illinois in this game on Wednesday. Kent State has looked really good in their games within the conference this year. They only had 1 dud game against Western Michigan but they bounced back from that in their last game with a win over Ohio. I think they are going to play hard in this game since Northern Illinois is the only undefeated team left in their conference play. Northern Illinois has started to look shaky in their matches lately. They are 4-0 in the conference but a lot of their wins have not been convincing. They have 2 wins by a field goal or less and all 4 conference games they have played they won by just 1 score. I think their run has finally come to an end here on the road against Kent State who is starting to look much better each week. I like Kent State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-21 Kent State. | |||||||
11-02-21 | Eastern Michigan v. Toledo -8.5 | 52-49 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toledo. I like Toledo to cover the spread against Eastern Michigan in this game on Tuesday. Toledo was not playing well in the MAC Conference a few weeks ago but they came out in their last game and put down a beating on Western Michigan in their last game. They won by 19 points in that game and their run game ran all over them to pick up that win. Eastern Michigan is vulnerable on their run defense giving up almost 200 yards per game. I expect Toledo to roll out the same game plan here and run the ball all game, wearing down that defense as the game goes on. Toledo has played some good defense this year and they have a good passing defense. Eastern Michigan likes to throw the ball more and will try to do that here especially if they get behind. I think the Toledo defense is going to stop them in this game and make some big stops in some key plays. Toledo is going to keep wearing down on that defense until they start to run away with the game making it out of reach for Eastern Michigan as the time ticks on. i like Toledo to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 38-21 Toledo. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Washington +3 v. Stanford | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington. I like Washington to cover the spread against Stanford in this game on Saturday. Washington ended their 2 game losing streak with a win over Arizona last week and their defense held Arizona to 16 points in that game. Despite their record, Washington have been playing very well in their games lately. They came close to beating a good UCLA team and they almost got the win over Oregon State too losing that game by 3 points in such a close one. Stanford has lost 2 games in a row now ever since upsetting Oregon almost a month ago. Their offense has been terrible since then, putting up 10 points against Arizona State and 31 against Washington State but they didn't do much in the 1st half of that game and were already in a hole by the time they woke up in the 2nd half. Washington State is not a good team at all this year either and that should have been a win for them. Washington is much better and they actually play defense in their games and they do it quite well. I don't think they are going to let Stanford do much on offense in this game and will hold them down all game. I think Washington is going to win this game and I think they are going to do it with their defense. I like Washington to cover the spread here because I think if they lose this game then no way it is more than a field goal. T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Washington. | |||||||
10-30-21 | Oregon State v. California +1.5 | 25-39 | Win | 100 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: California. I like California to cover the spread and win this game against Oregon State. Cal has been playing well in their last 2 games with a win over Colorado where they held them to just 3 points with their defense and lost to Oregon in the game before that but only by a touchdown and they kept Oregon to 24 points in that game. Cal has been getting better and better on defense in their games and I expect them to have a really good game here at home shutting down Oregon State and their offense. Oregon State just ripped a win off of Utah last week who was the only undefeated team in conference play left in the Pac-12. They handed them their 1 loss and now most of the leaders in the Pac-12 are 3-1 in conference play. That was a big win for them as Utah was on fire for weeks and I am expecting a let down for them here. Oregon State is 1 of those 3-1 teams in the conference but a loss here would be detrimental to their title hopes. I like Cal to play some spoiler for them here and take this win at home. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 California. | |||||||
10-30-21 | UMass v. Liberty -35 | 17-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty. I like Liberty to cover the spread against UMass in this game on Saturday. Liberty have stumbled a bit in their last few games but I expect them to get back on track with a big win here. Their quarterback Malik Willis is headed to the NFL in the near future with the way he plays and the skills he possesses. UMass have come up with 1 win in 4 games and that win was against UConn who is 1 of the worst teams in the FBS... but Umass is a very close 2nd and has been having a terrible year. If you take that win out then they have lost their last 3 in a row and have not scored more than a TD in any of those games. Liberty has a very good team and their quarterback is something really special. He is going to throw circles around this bad UMass team and I expect that they will blow them out posting 40+ points themselves in the game. I like Liberty to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 49-3 Liberty. | |||||||
10-28-21 | South Florida +10 v. East Carolina | 14-29 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: South Florida. I like South Florida to cover the spread against East Carolina in this game on Thursday. South Florida have really turned their season around from where they started this year. They were one of the worst teams in the 1st few weeks but now they are starting to play much better in their games. They are around a +10 in this game but they have only lost 1 game in their L4 by 10+ points and that was against the undefeated SMU. It started with their game against BYU when they almost came back in that game and gave BYU a run for their money. They had a setback in the next game against SMU but the wheels had already started to turn on this team as they lost to Tulsa by 1 point in their next game and then finally pulled off the 20 point win against Temple in their last game. East Carolina have only beaten 1 FBS team by 10+ points this year and it was against Tulane who is the worst team in their conference right now. They have actually lost their last 2 games in conference play with those games being close within a TD in both. East Carolina have started to regress after a very good start to their season before conference play. South Florida is starting to move in the right direction now and they have been getting better each week and I expect them to be even more improved in this game. I like South Florida to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-28 East Carolina. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Ohio State -21 v. Indiana | Top | 54-7 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Indiana on Saturday. Ohio State looks nothing like the team that we saw lose to Oregon back in week 2. They have been hitting their stride in their last few games coming away with some big victories in their games. They have put up 50+ points in each of their last 3 games while giving up less than 20 points in all of them. Their last 2 games were against conference teams and they won each of those games by 39+ points. CJ Stroud has looked much better in their games and even threw 5 TDs in their last game against Maryland. They had their bye week last week and will be even more prepared for this game against Indiana with some extra rest on their side too. Indiana have just been getting by in their games this season but they have really started to struggle as soon as they hit conference play. They have played in 3 games against Big 10 opponents this year and have scored a total of 21 points in those games. They only put up 15 points against Michigan State in their last game and they were shut out by Penn State in their game the week before that one. They do not have a strong offense and will now have to face the best team in the Big 10 by far. I think Ohio State is going to put up a ton of points in this game while Indiana struggles to even put up points. I like Ohio State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Selection: 56-14 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Nevada +3.5 v. Fresno State | 32-34 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Nevada. I like Nevada to cover the spread against Fresno State on Saturday. Nevada has surprisingly impressed in their games this season and is turning out to be a much better team than everyone thought they would be at the beginning of the season. They only have 1 loss this season but they have been playing well ever since Kansas State handed them that loss. They have put up 30+ points in all of their games since then winning each of those by 10+ points. Carson Strong has been leading the passing game for them and he has been great with 9 TD passes and only 1 interception in his last 3 games. Fresno State started their season with some positives but they have started to look shaky in their games lately. They won against a very bad UNLV team but they only took that game by 8 points and they gave up 30 points in that game to a UNLV team that has struggled heavily on offense all year. Then in their next game they blow a lead to Hawaii and end up losing that game by 3. Then in their last game they finally fixed their troubles on defense with a shutout over Wyoming, but they only managed to put up 17 points in that game struggling to get anything done on offense in that game. Fresno State has been too inconsistent to trust lately and Nevada looks like they are coming for the Mountain West title. This game will be huge for both teams for that reason and I think Nevada is good enough to even win this game. I like Nevada to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Nevada. | |||||||
10-23-21 | Boston College v. Louisville -4.5 | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Louisville. I like Louisville to cover the spread against Boston College on Saturday. Louisville has been having a good season but they hit a snag in their last 2 games. They ended up losing both games in very tight battles, 1 being a loss to Wake Forest by a field goal and the other being a loss to Virginia by 1 point. Wake Forest is the only undefeated team left in the ACC and Virginia has a very good offense but they will be getting an easier challenge in this game. Boston College had a great start to their season going undefeated through 4 games but as soon as they ran into conference play they ran into trouble in those games. They put a good fight up against Clemson but they are not the same Clemson team that has been ranked so high in the country in years past. They got absolutely crushed in their last game though, losing that one 33-7 to NC State. I think that Boston College's luck has run out here and they will have a tough time winning games against other conference teams. Malik Cunningham and Hassan Hall will be too much for this Boston College defense to handle and I think they are just going to run away with this game. I like Louisville to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 37-24 Louisville. | |||||||
10-23-21 | UMass v. Florida State -35.5 | 3-59 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Florida State. I like Florida State to cover the spread against Massachusetts on Saturday. After Florida State's horrid start to the season when they couldn't win a game if it was handed to them on a silver platter, they have made some adjustments and are starting to look a little better in their last few games. They broke out of their funk against Syracuse just moving past them with a win by a field goal to break their winless streak this season. Then in their last game, they went on the road in North Carolina and took down the Tar Heels by 10 points who aren't that great this year but they're still a whole lot better than Massachusetts. Their QB Jordan Travis was able to be a threat in both the passing game and the running game in that one and I expect him to do the same here with a much easier challenge on his hands. Massachusetts actually won their last game before the bye week they just had but that win was against Connecticut who might just be the worst team in FBS. Florida State is slowly turning things around near the end of this season but they are a team that is definitely trending in the proper direction. I like the Seminoles to lay a beating on the Minutemen here as things continue to click for them. I like Florida State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 49-7 Florida State. | |||||||
10-20-21 | Coastal Carolina -5 v. Appalachian State | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina. I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread against Appalachian State. Coastal Carolina is ranked number 14 in the country and they have been ripping teams open with their offense all year. They have scored 50+ points in each of their last 3 games and their last 2 games they played against another team from their conference, they won each by 30+ points. They are not only trying to win their conference this year but they are trying to climb the poll as far up as they can in a year where many of the strong favorites have been losing. App State just lost a conference game against the Ragin' Cajuns and they were decimated in that game only putting up 13 points and giving up 41. If Louisiana is scoring 41 points on this App State defense then Coastal Carolina will be putting up another 50 here. I think they are just a much stronger team and they are on a mission to prove that they are not just good because of their weaker conference and schedule. I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 51-24 Coastal Carolina. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Arizona State +1.5 v. Utah | 21-35 | Loss | -118 | 22 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State. I like Arizona State to cover the spread and win against Utah on Saturday. Ever since losing to BYU, Arizona State has looked much better with 3 wins in a row and all of them against Pac-12 conference teams. They are ranked 18th in the country and leading their division, the Pac-12 South. Their last 3 wins have been big wins too, all of them coming by around 20 points. Utah has won their last 2 games in the conference but they weren't up against the strongest teams. They got their wins over Washington State and USC who are both turning out to be very disappointing teams with their play this year. Arizona State did get their wins against UCLA and Stanford who is surprisingly having a decent year. I think Arizona State is the better team here whether they are on the road or not. I like them to cover the spread and win this game straight up with their good offense that we have seen lately in their games. T.M. Prediction: 38-24 Arizona State. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Alabama -17 v. Mississippi State | Top | 49-9 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Alabama. I like Alabama to cover the spread against Mississippi State on Saturday. Alabama got knocked off by Texas A&M last week and is now faced with 1 loss this year and dropped to 5th ranked in the country. That was a massive upset and now Alabama is sitting outside of the college football playoffs if they were happening this week. They will be eager to get their rank back and that starts with running the table and blowing out the other teams while they are at it. It has been a very weird year for college football so there is still a chance for them but they need to show that they look good on both offense and defense and that starts in this game. They will need to get a blowout win here to help make their case. Mississippi State is just a mediocre team that usually plays in close games where their offense matches the team they are playing. I think Alabama will be able to take care of them with ease, Nick Saban will have his team geared up and ready to bounce back. I like Alabama to cover the spread here in a must blowout win game for them. T.M. Prediction: 45-14 Alabama. | |||||||
10-16-21 | Purdue v. Iowa -11 | 24-7 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Purdue on Saturday. Iowa has been having a very good season this year. They are ranked 2nd in the country after taking down Penn State last week and they really had to dig in their heels and make a strong comeback in that game. Their defense showed up when they needed to in that Penn State game and their defense has really been performing at a high level all year. They have always been known for their good defense but now their offense is starting to catch up too. They only put up 23 on a good Penn State with a good defense too but in the game before that one they thrashed Maryland 51-14. Purdue does not have a very strong offense at all and they will be lucky if they can get through this Iowa defense. Purdue has put up 13 points in each of their last 3 games, nothing more and nothing less. Iowa has already proven that they can stop a team like Purdue from scoring and put up a ton of points on them. I think that Iowa is going to blow them out here, especially now that they are ranked 2nd they will want to do anything they can to keep their rank. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 37-10 Iowa. | |||||||
10-15-21 | California +13.5 v. Oregon | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: California. I like California to cover the spread against Oregon on Friday. California has now lost 2 bad games in a row in their conference play. Washington stole the game from them in OT and then they suffered a devastating blow with a 21-6 loss at home against Washington State. They had a bye week last week and have had some time to regroup and rethink their approach to these games. I think they will be eager to get a win here against a reeling Oregon team who lost their 3rd place rank in the country after a loss to Stanford in their last game. Oregon also had a bye week and will be rested for this game but I think Cal is going to take it to them in this game and keep it close knowing that Oregon's confidence is down. Cal has their back against the wall here and need to make something happen here or their hopes to win the conference will be over. I think they will make this a close game with Oregon giving them another scare. I like Cal to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Oregon. | |||||||
10-15-21 | Marshall -11 v. North Texas | 49-21 | Win | 100 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marshall. I like Marshall to cover the spread against North Texas on Friday. Marshall can move the ball well on offense and has been putting up 20+ points in all of their games. They put up 20 in their last game but that was their lowest scoring game all year. Their defense played much better in that game only giving up 13 points. North Texas has had a problem on offense all year not putting up a lot of points in their games. They put up 35 points in their last game but that was the 1st game they had put up 20+ points this year when playing an FBS team. Their defense has not been good either this year as they have given up 30+ points in every game except 1 when playing an FBS team. North Texas is not a very good team this year and I think Marshall is going to be able to score a lot here while holding them to less than 20 points. I like Marshall to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 42-17 Marshall. | |||||||
10-12-21 | Appalachian State -5 v. UL-Lafayette | 13-41 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State. I like Appalachian State to cover the spread against Louisiana-Lafayette on Tuesday. App State looked a lot better in their last game after a close 1 point win against Marshall in the week before. They are a 5 point favorite here and have won 3/4 games by that number clearing that spread. They beat Georgia State by 29 points and then had a bye week so they are rested and refreshed with the last 2 weeks off. Their passing game was great in that win over the Panthers. The Ragin' Cajuns have won 4 games in a row but this will be the toughest team they have faced this year, other than Texas and they lost that game by 20 points. They also had their bye week last week but it will not mean much as App State is just a much better team. The Ragin' Cajuns won their last game but they did not really pass the ball a lot or even run it that much. App State has a much stronger offense and the potential to run away with this game if they keep pulling away during the game. I like App State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 35-20 App State. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Memphis +3.5 v. Tulsa | Top | 29-35 | Loss | -115 | 54 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Memphis. I like Memphis to cover the spread against Tulsa on Saturday. Memphis has played close games all year leading up to this one. Their largest win against an FBS team this season was by 5 points against Arkansas State. Their largest loss this year was by 3 points in their last 2 games by UTSA and Temple. Tulsa has been struggling in their games all year and is pretty much the worst team in this conference this season. They lost by 35 points to Houston in their last game and they also have a loss against an FCS team this year on their record. Memphis does not have the best defense but they make up for it with their very good offense. They have been putting up a ton of points in every game this season and have only played 1 game where they didn't put up 30+ points, and they still had 28 points in that one. Memphis has a good enough offense to keep up in this game and even go on to win it. I like Memphis to cover the spread and even win in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-30 Memphis. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Oregon State v. Washington State +4 | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 49 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington State. I like Washington State to cover the spread against Oregon State on Saturday. Washington State has not been playing well to start their season this year but they are starting to look better each week. They put up a good fight against Utah before letting it slip away from them in the 4th quarter of that game. They then followed that performance up with a win against another conference team, Cal. Oregon State has won 4 games in a row but they did not look too good in their last game. They struggled to win against Washington just slipping by that game by 3 points. Their passing game was completely shut down in that game, Chance Nolan only had 48 yards passing. I think the little run that Oregon State had is over now and I expect Washington State to keep getting better as the season goes on. I think both teams are trending in opposite directions here so I like Oregon State to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Washington State. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Maryland v. Ohio State -20.5 | 17-66 | Win | 100 | 45 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ohio State. I like Ohio State to cover the spread against Maryland on Saturday. Ohio State has looked much better in their last 3 games and have been putting up a ton of points on offense. They put up 59 points in each of their last 2 games, including a blowout win on the road against Rutgers. Maryland has been looking shaky in their games lately. They played well against Kent State but they struggled to beat a bad Illinois side and they were also blown out at home by Iowa last week. They will be on the road for this game which makes their challenge in this game all that more difficult. I expect Maryland to struggle here as Ohio State starts finding their groove again and starts playing like the team we have known them to be for the last few years. I like Ohio State to cover the spread and make a statement in this game. T.M. Prediction: 52-20 Ohio State. | |||||||
10-09-21 | Arkansas v. Ole Miss -5 | 51-52 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Ole Miss. I like Ole Miss to cover the spread against Arkansas on Saturday. Ole Miss had their 3 game win streak ended by Alabama last week. They lost that game by 20 points but they still managed to score 21 points themselves in that game. Before that game, they had scored 40+ points in all of their games. They have a really good offense this year and have been playing much better as a team this season. Arkansas also had their win streak ended by Georgia but they failed to put up a single point on Georgia's defense. That was also their first road game of the season and they now have their 2nd one in a row here. Arkansas has a good team but I think their good play has been masked a bit by their home advantage and their lesser opponents this season. When faced with a real challenge last week, they folded like a cheap tent. Ole Miss actually put up a fight against Alabama and showed that they will try to hang with the big boys. I think Ole Miss is just the better team here so I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-27 Ole Miss. | |||||||
10-08-21 | Stanford +13 v. Arizona State | 10-28 | Loss | -109 | 58 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Stanford. I like Stanford to cover the spread against Arizona State on Friday. Stanford is coming off a big win against their conference rival Oregon, knocking them out of their 3rd place rank with that win. That was not their first upset win in the conference on the road this year though. They also came up with a big win over USC earlier on the road. They have actually played worse at home losing to UCLA by 11 points. Arizona State also got an upset win in their last game in the conference on the road against UCLA by almost 20 points. They are favored by 11 points in this game though and I think that it is going to be a much closer game than that. Stanford has been playing very well all year and they even have a chance to win this game so the spread should be much closer than it is right now. I like Stanford to cover that spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-27 Arizona State. | |||||||
10-07-21 | Houston -6 v. Tulane | 40-22 | Win | 100 | 31 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Houston. I like Houston to cover the spread against Tulane on Thursday. Houston has been looking good in their games lately putting up 40+ points in 3/4 games from their last 4. They beat Navy by a slim margin but won by a lot against their other 3 opponents in their last 4. They beat Tulsa by 35 in their last game on the road and I think they are going to do the same to Tulane here. Tulane is having a bad year and they are just as bad as Tulsa from a talent perspective. They have lost their last 3 in a row by more than a TD and 2 of those games were 20+ point losses. Houston has been rolling on offense and they are going to put a hurt on Tulane's defense in this game. They will not be able to score many points here either so I like Houston to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 41-23 Houston. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Arizona State +3 v. UCLA | 42-23 | Win | 100 | 22 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arizona State. I like Arizona State to cover the spread against UCLA on Saturday. They won by 20+ points last week against Colorado and they have put up 30+ points in all of their games except for 1 this year. Jayden Daniels has been having a great season and I think he is going to perform very well in this game. The UCLA defense has not been that good this year and has let the other team score 24+ points in their last 3 games. I think Arizona State will be able to score a lot on them and keep this game a close one, possibly even pulling off the upset here. Arizona State has not allowed a lot of points against their defense this year also. UCLA has been allowing 30+ points in most of their games this year. I expect UCLA to give up a lot of yards and points in this game and I think the Arizona State defense will come up big here to win them this game. I like Arizona State to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Arizona State. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Baylor +4.5 v. Oklahoma State | 14-24 | Loss | -111 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Baylor. I like Baylor to cover the spread against Oklahoma State on Saturday. Baylor is undefeated this year ranked 21st in the country. They got a big win as an underdog in their last game over Iowa State. Oklahoma is also undefeated this year but their wins have not been that impressive. Most of their wins were by single digits and their offense has struggled a bit this year scoring 30+ points in just 1 game of their 4. I think this will be a tough matchup for 2 undefeated teams in the Big 12 looking to fight it out for the conference win. Baylor's offense has scored 29+ points in each game this year so I think they will be able to keep up with Oklahoma State if they start to pull away. Baylor is good enough to even pull off the upset here so I like Baylor to cover this spread. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Baylor. | |||||||
10-02-21 | Cincinnati -1.5 v. Notre Dame | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati. I like Cincinnati to cover the spread against Notre Dame on Saturday. Both of these teams are top 10 teams in the country. Cincinnati has looked very strong on both sides of the ball this year. Their offense is scoring over 40 points a game and their defense has given up less than 20 points a game. They had a bye last week so they have had an extra week to prepare for this game and they should also be rested and a lot healthier for this game as well. Notre Dame finally blew out a team when they beat Wisconsin last week but that was the only game that they have looked good in this year. They have had a few close games this year against bad teams where they defense has given up a ton of points. I think Cincinnati is good enough to go to the college football playoffs if they can go undefeated this year and I think they will have their mind set on that coming into this game. They are a better team at most positions and Desmond Ridder is a big difference maker. Ridder will find ways to get in the endzone in this game so I like Cincinnati to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Cincinnati. | |||||||
10-02-21 | USC -7.5 v. Colorado | 37-14 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: USC. I like USC to cover the spread against Colorado on Saturday. USC has had a disappointing start to their year at 2-2 with both of those losses coming against conference teams. Their 1 win against a Pac-12 team came against Washington State and at this point, Colorado looks to be just about as bad as them. Colorado has put no more than 13 points in game against a team from the FBS this year. USC has to be upset about losing at home last week to Oregon State and I think they are going to come out in this game and make a statement against this bad Colorado team. Colorado has allowed 30+ points against them in their last 2 games and I think the same will happen in this game. I expect USC to get right here with a big win so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 34-17 USC. | |||||||
10-01-21 | BYU -7.5 v. Utah State | 34-20 | Win | 100 | 62 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: BYU. I like BYU to cover the spread against Utah State on Friday. BYU is ranked 13th in the country and they have had a strong 4-0 start to their season this year. All 4 of their wins this year have been by 8+ points. Baylor Romney got his first start of the season in their last game against USF and he was great in that game with 3 TDs and 300+ passing yards. Their receivers have a lot of talent on this team and when they throw the ball they have options on who to go to, there were 2 receivers in their last game with 100+ receiving yards on the day. Utah State started their season strong going 3-0 against subpar teams but once they played a real tough opponent in their last game, they were blown out 27-3, failing to score even a touchdown in that game. The talent level is just too different between these 2 teams here. BYU is much better and they will be looking to have a very strong season and try to make a case for the playoffs for themselves, and that means going undefeated is a requirement. They will be able to shut down Utah State here with their defense so I like BYU to cover the spread against them. T.M Prediction: 34-20 BYU. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Troy -23.5 v. UL-Monroe | 16-29 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Troy. I like Troy to cover the spread against Louisiana Monroe on Saturday. Troy has been playing well in their games this season, more specifically their defense. They have only allowed double digit points to 1 team this season in their loss to Liberty, and they only allowed 21 points in that game. LA-Monroe has only played in 2 games but they have looked awful in both. Their first game was a slaughter losing by 35 points against Kentucky. Their last game they won by 5 points, but it was against Jackson State, a team from the FCS that they should have pulled away from and won by a much larger margin. LA-Monroe just isn't that good though so those are the kinds of teams that are on their similar skill level. When Troy went up against a team from the FCS in their game, they won 55-3. Troy is the better team here and they have a good enough defense to stop LA-Monroe here. I expect Monroe to struggle to score points here as Troy pulls away making the gap larger and larger with every point they score. I like Troy to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 35-7 Troy. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Colorado State v. Iowa -22.5 | 14-24 | Loss | -112 | 11 h 1 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Iowa. I like Iowa to cover the spread against Colorado State on Saturday. Iowa has had some strong showings in their first few games to start the season here. They have an upset win over their rival Iowa State by 10 points in a shocker. They also have a 28 point win over Indiana and a 23 point win over Kent State, both of those games were at home. Colorado State bounced back with a big win over Toledo last week but they still have 2 home losses to Vanderbilt and to South Dakota State. Iowa has a good defense which will make it difficult for the Rams to move the ball on the road here. The only game Colorado State won this season, they were able to run the ball in it. Iowa has not allowed any of their opponents to rush for 100+ total yards in a game against them this season. Iowa will be able to stunt their offense and pull away themselves on the scoreboard. I like Iowa to cover this spread here at home. T.M. Prediction: 35-3 Iowa. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan -20 | Top | 13-20 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan. I like Michigan to cover the spread against Rutgers on Saturday. Michigan has looked good this season on both offense and defense and they look like they are getting back to that powerhouse team that they used to be. All of their wins this season have been by 21+ points, their most impressive one was a 31-10 win over Washington. They pretty much ripped out Washington's game plan in that one and used it against them as they were able to tear their defense up in the run game while stopping it themselves with their defense. This will be their first conference game this season and they will be out to make a statement in this game. Michigan is not just looking for a Big 10 title at this point, they want consideration for the college football playoffs so I expect them to win their games in blowout fashion, especially these important conference ones. Rutgers has also been winning their games by a large margin but between Temple and Syracuse, those are the toughest opponents they have faced this season and they only came away with a 10 point win over the Orange. Michigan has a solid defense and will be able to stop the Rutgers offense here. They also have a very good running game and a smart quarterback who makes good decisions when he throws the ball. I like Michigan to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Michigan. | |||||||
09-25-21 | Georgia -35 v. Vanderbilt | 62-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Georgia. I like Georgia to cover the spread against Vanderbilt on Saturday. Georgia is ranked 2nd in the country and they are coming off of some wins by large margins after getting their 10-7 win over Clemson in week 1. Their defense held UAB to 7 points winning that game by 49 and they held South Carolina to 13 winning that one by 27. Vanderbilt is one of the worst teams in the SEC, if not the worst. They just lost by 18 at home to Stanford and the Cardinal is no where near as good as Georgia. What's even worse is they opened the season with a 20 point loss at home to East Tennessee State. Georgia has one of the best defenses in the country and it will be tough for Vanderbilt to find ways to score here. Georgia likes to throw the ball so they will be good for some quick scores to go up a lot here but their defense will also be keeping the Commodores in check. I like Georgia to cover the spread here as they will keep Vanderbilt off the scoreboard for quite some time. T.M. Prediction: 48-7 Georgia. | |||||||
09-24-21 | Liberty -6.5 v. Syracuse | 21-24 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Liberty. I like Liberty to cover the spread against Syracuse on Friday. Liberty has started their season undefeated after 3 games and they have looked really good with their offense. Malik Willis has done nothing but impressed since he started the season. He is not only playing well and passing accurately but he is also finding ways to get himself out of high pressure situations and he has been making some wonky Patrick Mahomes style throws in their games that just make you wonder how even got the pass off and to the receiver. He is a special kind of talent that is leading his team to victories by large margins, not just squeaking by. Syracuse is 2-1 this year but their 2 wins came against Albany and Ohio. As soon as they faced a tougher opponent in Rutgers they lost and were not able to do much with the ball in a 17-7 game. Liberty is just the better team here and they have a quarterback that will do what he needs to do to make the smart plays and the big plays to win this game. I like Liberty to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 31-20 Liberty. | |||||||
09-23-21 | Marshall +7 v. Appalachian State | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 30 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Marshall. I like the Marshall to cover the spread against Appalachian State on Thursday. Marshall has not had any troubles of offense this season, scoring almost 40 points in every single game. Their offense is spread out evenly as they have a good running game and passing game that they can use to move the ball down the field well. They suffered their first loss of the season last week against East Carolina, losing that one by 4. App State has also looked good on offense as they have been scoring some points in their games. Their 1 loss came against Miami by 2 points. The last time these 2 teams played was last year and Marshall won that game 17-7. This will be a game that both teams are going to get up for so I like it to stay close as I think no one is going to pull away by a lot here. Marshall will also be looking to repeat the result from last year. Both teams are strong enough where their goals for the season are to win their own conference titles. I expect this game to be close between 2 good offensive teams here so I like Marshall to cover. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 App State. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Arkansas State v. Washington -16 | 3-52 | Win | 100 | 78 h 17 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Washington Huskies. I like the Washington Huskies to cover the spread against Arkansas State on Saturday. Washington are a big favorite in this game and will need to bounce back after losing their first 2 games of the season now. They lost their last game to Michigan and will be looking to get their first win of the season here. Dylan Morris was not too accurate in the passing game but still threw for 293 yards and 1 touchdown in that game. They did not establish any run game though as Michigan played very well on defense. They should be able to run the ball in this game though as they will set the tone and pace of the game early. Arkansas State are 1-1 on the season after losing their last game to Memphis. They scored 50 points in that loss to Memphis but Memphis does not have the greatest defense out there. Washington is much better on defense and should be able to stop the Red Wolves from moving the ball up the field and scoring touchdowns. The Red Wolves threw the ball a lot and did not have much of a run game at all. The Huskies have a great pass defense though as they have allowed just 150 passing yards total against them through 2 games. Washington has something to prove here after 2 bad losses so I expect the defense to play a good game as they run up the score on Arkansas State. Washington covers the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 42-13 Washington. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Georgia Southern v. Arkansas -22.5 | 10-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Arkansas. I like Arkansas to cover the spread against Georgia Southern on Saturday. Arkansas has been having a very good start to the season. They blew out Rice by 21 points in week 1 and then blew out Texas by 19 in a monster upset win for them. Now they get a bad Georgia Southern team at home for their 3rd straight game. Georgia Southern won their game in week 1 by 5 points against a team from the FCS. Fast forward to week 2 when they have an opponent from the FBS and they get slaughtered 38-6 by a weak FAU team. If Georgia Southern is losing to FAU by 30+ points then they don't stand a chance here. Arkansas has already pulled off a big upset against a ranked Texas team and will still be at home for this game with their fans filling the stadium. This is going to be a huge blowout for the Razorbacks. Their offense was very balanced with both their passing and their rushing. Give me Arkansas to cover this large spread. T.M. Prediction: 42-10 Arkansas. | |||||||
09-18-21 | Virginia Tech +2.5 v. West Virginia | 21-27 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Virginia Tech. I like Virginia Tech to cover the spread against West Virginia on Saturday. Virginia Tech started their year off on the right foot. They played a tough UNC team at home and came away with the 7 point victory. Then they got a weaker opponent in Middle Tennessee and they blew them out by about 20 points. West Virginia got a monster win by 66 points against LIU last week but when they played a tougher opponent in week 1 with Maryland, they ended up losing by 6. They did not get much of a run game going against Maryland and Doege struggled in that game turning the ball over twice. Braxton Burmeister has been the better quarterback through 2 games so I like the Hokies to cover this spread in an upset win in this rivalry game between 2 Virginia teams. T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Virginia Tech. | |||||||
09-17-21 | Maryland v. Illinois +7 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Illinois. I like Illinois to cover the spread against Maryland on Friday. Illinois is 1-2 this season but that 1 win came at the start of the season in a conference game against their Big 10 opponent Nebraska. Illinois was at home for that game and came in as the underdog coming out of the game with the 8 point win. Their offense did not play great in their last game against UVA but that one was on the road. So far, Illinois is 1-1 at home but has managed to put up a good fight in each game scoring 30 points in both. The game they lost at home to UTSA was by 7 points which is what the spread is in this game currently. Maryland is 2-0 but have not really faced any tough competition yet. This will be their 1st conference game of the year, not only that but, this will also be their 1st road game of the year as well. Illinois has already shown that they can play well at home and against these conference opponents. Maryland has been good this season but are here in their 1st conference game and their 1st road game as well. Give me the points with the home team as Illinois will cover this spread in a close game. T.M. Prediction: 30-27 Maryland. | |||||||
09-11-21 | San Diego State +2.5 v. Arizona | 38-14 | Win | 100 | 57 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: San Diego State Aztechs. I like the SDSU Aztechs to cover the spread against the Arizona Wldcats on Saturday. The Aztechs won their first game of the season and their offense was pretty good, especially in the run game. They only had 100+ passing yards in that game but they put up 200+ rushing yards and played a good defensive game as well. Arizona lost their first game to BYU but their quarterback played well with 300+ receiving yards. They had no run game in that game though and a 1 dimensional offense will be a problem against a SDSU team that has a great defense. Arizona will not be able to move the ball well on this team and SDSU is they type to grind it out on defense and win a low scoring game. Arizona is not a good team so I think that SDSU will cover this spread and can even upset them in this game. T.M. Prediction: 26-20 SDSU. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Oregon +14.5 v. Ohio State | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 47 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oregon Ducks. I like the Oregon Ducks to cover the spread against the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday. Oregon won against Fresno State in their last game putting up 31 points in that game. They had a good running game rushing for over 150 yards and they also had over 150 passing yards in the game. Their defense came up big in that one with lots of tackles and multiple players getting the quarterback on the pass rush. OSU beat Minnesota in their first game putting up 45 points themselves but they got off to a very slow start in that game only putting up 10 points in the first half finding themselves behind. Minnesota's defense was able to keep them at bay for the first half but that did not last long after halftime. OSU only ended up winning that game by 14 points. Oregon has a much better defense than Minnesota so they should keep this a closer game. I like them to cover the spread here and keep it close. T.M. Prediction: 34-24 OSU. | |||||||
09-11-21 | Miami-OH v. Minnesota -18 | 26-31 | Loss | -113 | 47 h 25 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Golden Gophers. I like the Minnesota Golden Gophers to cover the spread against the Miami RedHawks on Saturday. Minnesota played a good game against OSU, especially in the first half, putting up 31 total points themselves in that game. Their offense was hot in both the passing game and the run game with 200+ passing yards and 200+ rushing yards in the game against OSU. They will be up against a much weaker RedHawks team now. Miami OH got smashed by Cincinnati in their last game only putting up 14 points in that game. They did not have much going on offense at all barely passing for 100+ yards and 100+ rushing yards. They are one of the worst in the MAC and Minnesota is a very good team. They will get the cover here in a blowout fashion. T.M. Prediction: 41-10 Minnesota. | |||||||
09-04-21 | LSU -2.5 v. UCLA | 27-38 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 49 m | Show | |
I like the LSU Tigers to cover the spread against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday. LSU fininshed last season with an overall record of 5-5 and they will be looking to improve on that this year. UCLA did not even finish last season with a winning one going 3-4 through the year. LSU finished last season strong with wins against the Florida Gators and Ole Miss. UCLA finished their last season with losses against USC and Stanford. LSU has the better coach and is a more talented program. The line is pretty small here so I like LSU to cover the number. T.M. Prediction: 31-24 LSU. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Kent State v. Texas A&M -29 | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
I like Texas A&M to cover the spread against Kent State on Saturday. Kent State finished last season 3-1 but don't let that record fool you. Their 3 wins came against Akron, Bowling Green, and Eastern Michigan, all of whom had a losing record and were some of the worst teams in the MAC. They only beat EMU by 4 points too, then they capped their season off with a 29 point loss to Buffalo. Texas A&M is much better than Buffalo is and also plays in a tougher conference. They had some big double digit wins last season against much stronger opponents. They are the 6th ranked team in the country coming into this game and they are going to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 45-10 Texas A&M. | |||||||
09-04-21 | Miami-OH v. Cincinnati -22.5 | Top | 14-49 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati Bearcats I have a hard time seeing Miami Ohio mustering up much of an offensive attack here today. The RedHawks went 2-1 last year, while tthe Bearcats went 9-1. Brett Gabbert isn't going to be able to keep pace with Desmond Ridder, who is out for a Heisman this season. The Bearscats are 5-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games. The RedHawks are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 in the same position. I look for the home side to go up early, and then to cruise to victory; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 37-7 Cincy | |||||||
09-03-21 | Duke -6 v. Charlotte | Top | 28-31 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke Both teams have plenty of new faces on both sides of the ball. Each had difficulties last year, but most teams did during the abbreviated Covid season. The bottom line here for me though today gentlemen is that the Blue Devils hammered Charlotte 53-19 last year and I expect a similar sort of outcome today as well. Gunnar Holmberg doesn't have a lot of experience as QB, but he's been with Duke for three years. He knows the system and that's a small advantage he has. Duke gave up 38.1 PPG last year, but it was decimated with injury and COVID issues. I expect a BIG step up from this group today. The 49ers were also hit hard by COVID last season. Chris Reynolds is a decent QB, but I think he'll have his hands full today with this improved Duke defense. The Blue Devils are better across the board and I look for them to pull away in the fourth quarter. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 45-21 Duke | |||||||
09-02-21 | Bowling Green v. Tennessee -35 | 6-38 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Tennesee Volunteers The Vols are retooled and revamped and a huge favorite for good reason here on Opening night for each club. Bowling Green on the other hand was a complete disaster last season. It went winless in the abbreviated campaign and it's once again expected to finish last in the MAC. The Falcons only averaged 11 points per game on 326 yards. They'll improve on the offensive side with five starters returning. However, the defense was a joke, allowing over 300 yards rushing per contest. The Vols will be out to run up the score here from the get go after their 3-7 season. Josh Heupel is the new head coach in Tennessee and he'll have 12 starters rurning. Joe Milton transferred from Michigan and he'll have plenty of weapons around him. I don't see Bowling Green competing whatsoever. It will likely get a few points in garbage time, but only because Tennessee has such a massive lead. Lay the points. T.M. Prediction: 52-17 Vols | |||||||
08-28-21 | Nebraska v. Illinois +7 | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Illinois Off a 3-5 season, Nebraska is looking for a big win to kick things off on the right foot in 2021. The last time they had a winning season was alll the way back in 2016. Last season, when these two team met, Illinois took it to them, as they won 41-23. Illinois brings in a new Head Coach as well as Defensive Coordinator which should help get this defense filled with skill back on track here. Also, look for WR Isaiah Williams, former 4star QB recruit, to make some noise in this one with his pass catching ability. I'm expecting a much similar outcome to last year in this one. Take the Fighting Illini plus the points. T.M. Prediction 26-23 Illinois | |||||||
01-02-21 | Ole Miss v. Indiana -6.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -115 | 123 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Indiana (8* BANKROLL BUILDER). Bowl games can be difficult to judge at times, as teams sometimes have several weeks off between games. They're from different conferences and don't have any common opponents on the season. Now throw in this weird Pandemic year factor and it gets even more convoluted on the criteria in which we can use to finalize our selections. Yes, Ole Miss has one of the best offenses in the nation, averaging 40.9 PPG, but it also has one of the worst defenses in the nation, conceding 40.3. The Hoosiers have won six of their last seven games and they got cheated out of their chance of playing in the Big Ten Championship and even competing for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Indiana doesn't have Pennix Jr. in, but Jack Tuttle leads a great offense and the Hoosiers only allow 19.5 PPG. Look for Indiana to take out its frustrations on this poor Ole Miss team; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Kentucky -2.5 v. NC State | Top | 23-21 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 10 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kentucky (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). NC State and Bailey Hockman were "OK," but the Wolfpack simply are unable to stop anyone. NC State averages 31.1 PPG, but it allows 29.7. Terry Wilson and Hockman are a "wash" here in my opinion. Kentucky averaged only 21.7 PPG, while allowing 26.4. Kentucky has faced the stiffer schedule though, and despite being down a few pieces on the defensive end, I still think the Wildcats are much, much better in that department. I look for this game to be decided in the trenches and I like Kentucky to find a way to get the job done in the end; lay the short points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Ohio State v. Clemson -7 | Top | 49-28 | Loss | -115 | 107 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Clemson (FIRST HALF MONEY-MAKER). I think the correct call here is Clemson in the FIRST HALF. These teams feature a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. They have similar offensive and defensive numbers and each features one of the best QB's in the nation. So why will the Tigers jump out to an early lead in the first half in my opinion? The Buckeyes beat Northwestern 22-10 in the Big Ten Championship, but note that they were down 10-6 at half time. I like Clemson's superior defense to hold OSU down in the first half here as well. I'm laying the points and expceting it to pay immediate dividends for us in the FIRST HALF. T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Cincinnati +9.5 v. Georgia | Top | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cincinnati (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Georgia was 7-2, its only losses coming to Flordia and Alabama. The Bulldogs finished 37th in the nation in scoring and 20th in points allowed. The Bearcats though have something to prove here in my opinion after getting snubbed from the big games after finishing the regular season 9-0. Cincy was 15th in the nation in scoring and 17th in the nation in defense. JT Daniels and Georgia average 33.2 PPG, while dual-threat Desmond Ridder leads a potent offense, which is backed by a defense which concedes only 17 PPG. This is a statement game for the Bearcats and its pretty meaningless for Georgia. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-31-20 | Ball State v. San Jose State -9 | Top | 34-13 | Loss | -117 | 76 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: San Jose State (10* MONEY-MAKER). Ball State has won six straight, including vs. the Buffalo Bulls in the Conference Title game. The Cardinals average 34.3 PPG, but now they face the best defense they've seen all year in the Spartans, who allow just 17.86 PPG. The Spartans also average 30.9 PPG, while the Cardinals concede 27.6. Drew Pitt is a good quarterback, but I think he'll struggle vs. this suffocating Spartans defensive front, as I expect it to turn the Cards offense very one-dimensional. The Spartans are also 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 following a SU win, while the Cardinals are in fact 0-4 ATS in their last four Bowl contests. Lay the points, expect a blowout of epic proportions! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Wisconsin -7 v. Wake Forest | Top | 42-28 | Win | 100 | 50 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wisconsin (BOWL GAME OF THE YEAR). Wake Forest has a good offense, but its opponents have been suspect. One thing for sure though, Wake Forest is downright terrible on the defensive side of the ball. Wake QB Sam Hartman is decent, but they've allowed a combined 105 points over two straight losses. Hartman was poor in the loss to Louisville as well, going just 17 of 41 for 224 yards. Graham Mertz is a game manager for the Badgers, but he was decent in the win over the tough Gophers, going 12 of 20 for 132 yards and a TD. Wisconsin is also 4-1 ATS in its last five non-conference games. Wake's offense is decent, but I think the Badgers are the more complete team. I'm laying the points! T.M. Prediction: 34-17 Wisconsin. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Western Kentucky v. Georgia State -3.5 | Top | 21-39 | Win | 100 | 56 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia State (10* BANKROLL BUILDER). Georgia State was crushed by 51 points by Coastal Carolina on Halloween, but since then the Panthers have outscored their last four opponents by a total of 126-89. Georgia State QB Cornelius Brown IV is a difference-maker for me, he's played great over his last two games, going for the biggest passing yardage of the season thus far over those contests. WKU's offense is one of the worst in the nation and while it's defense is decent, I can't see the Hilltoppers keeping pace in the second half. Note as well that WKU is just 1-5 ATS in its last six vs. the Sun Belt, while the Panthers are interestingly 6-2 ATS in their last eight games that fall on a Saturday. Does that matter? It doesn't hurt! Look for the Panthers to pull away for a comfortable cover and lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Marshall v. Buffalo -4.5 | Top | 10-17 | Win | 100 | 31 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Buffalo (10* TOP PLAY). Marshall is 7-2, but it comes in on terrible form having dropped two in a row, most recently a 22-13 setback to UAB. The Bulls are 5-1 and their only loss came last time out in a 38-28 setback to Ball State. Buffalo was favored in that contest, but I think the Bulls will bounce back here. Note that Buffalo is 4-0 ATS in its last four following a SU loss, while Marshall is a poor 0-5 ATS in its last five following a SU win. I look for these strong trends to continue; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Georgia Southern -6 v. Louisiana Tech | Top | 38-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Southern (10* BEST OF THE BEST). Despite Shai Werts out for this one, I still think Georgia Southern's loaded roster will find a way to deliver the goods in the New Orleans Bowl. Georgia Southern is dominant on the defensive end, allowing just 22.3 PPG. Miller Mosley is likely getting the start for Georgia Southern, and he'll be going against a poor LA Tech defense which allowed a ghastly 34.3 PPG this year. The only reason LA Tech is in this Bowl is because of the weird pandemic year. As stated off the top, despite Werts being out, I still like Georgia Southern to easily dominate this one; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-22-20 | Central Florida v. BYU -6.5 | Top | 23-49 | Win | 100 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: BYU (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). No need to overthink this one. UCF has been great offensively, averaging 44.3 PPG, but it concedes 31.4 PPG. That's not going to cut it here vs. this hungry Cougars side, which averages 43 PPG and allows just 14.6. BYU QB Zach Wilson is going to have a big day today; note that he finished by completing 73.2 percent of his passes for 30 touchdowns and only three interceptions. The Golden Knights were miserable against the pass and I can't see them keeping pace as the game comes down the stretch; lay the points, expect a blowout! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-21-20 | North Texas v. Appalachian State -21 | Top | 28-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Appalachian State (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). Yes, the Mean Green offense has been good this year. But has that been because of the level of competition it's faced? North Texas and Austin Aune average 35.1 PPG, but guess what? UNT is terrible defensively, allowing 41.3. The only reason UNT is in this Bowl Game is because of the weird Covid issues we're all under. App State is a lot better, on both sides of the ball. Overall Zac Thomas and the Mountaineers average 31.8 PPG. And guess what?! The defense has been even better, conceding only 19.3 points and just 314.2 yards per game. Look for App State's tough defensive play to prove to be too much for UNT in the end; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: 41-11 App State. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Alabama v. Florida +17.5 | Top | 52-46 | Win | 100 | 107 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Florida (10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE.) Sorry, I'm dealing with power/technical issues due to a severe storm in the Pacific Northwest right now, so I'm not able to properly give my usual extremely detailed analysis today. Kyle Trask and Mac Jones are poised for an epic battle here in my opinion. Alabama has been great defensively of late, but this is an explosive and versatile offense behind Jones. I don't expect any outright upsets or anything, but I do think this is too many points to be giving up to this underrated Florida team. Note that the Gators are 7-2 ATS in their last nine as an underdog in the +16.5 to +18.5 points range as well. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Clemson v. Notre Dame +10.5 | 34-10 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 33 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Notre Dame (8* TRADE-MARK). Sorry, I'm dealing with power/technical issues due to a severe storm in the Pacific Northwest right now, so I'm not able to properly give my usual extremely detailed analysis today. Clemson's only loss this year came against Notre Dame. Clemson is one of the best on both sides of the ball. Trevor Lawrence wasn't playing in the loss, but he'll be under center today. Notre Dame won't be rolling over here though. Ian Book and the Irish are the No. 2 team in the nation and they'll absolutely be looking for another straight-up upset today. The Irish have the defense to hang with the Tigers and note that they're 6-2 ATS in their last eight as an underdog in the +9.5 to +11.5 points range. I'm grabbing the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Northwestern +21 v. Ohio State | 10-22 | Win | 100 | 99 h 41 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Northwestern (9* UNDERDOG DESTRUCTION). Sorry, I'm dealing with power/technical issues due to a severe storm in the Pacific Northwest right now, so I'm not able to properly give my usual extremely detailed analysis today. The Wildcats' defense is for real. Northwestern has been pedestrian defensively, but this will be the best defense that the Buckeyes have faced all year. Note that Northwestern is 7-2 ATS in its last nine as an underdog in the +16.5 to +21.5 points range as well. No outright, but grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Oklahoma -5 v. Iowa State | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 98 h 26 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma (8* MONEY-MAKER). Sorry, I'm dealing with power/technical issues due to a severe storm in the Pacific Northwest right now, so I'm not able to properly give my usual extremely detailed analysis today. Spencer Rattler has gotten better as the season has worn on for the Sooners. Oklahoma lost to Iowa State earlier in the year, but Rattler and Oklahoma's defense enter having won six in a row. All blowouts too. Iowa State recovered from a shaky start to the season as well, but it's had a much more difficult time. Note as well that the Cyclones are 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games. Iowa State QB Brock Purdy has taken a step back this year and I think he's in for a long day vs. this revenge-minded Sooners side. Lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-12-20 | North Carolina v. Miami-FL -3 | Top | 62-26 | Loss | -112 | 100 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami (10* GAME OF THE MONTH). The bottom line is, UNC's defense is terrible. Granted, the Tar Heels offense is spectacular, but if you can't slow anyone down, how are you supposed to win a game? Miami Florida on the other hand is legit on both sides of the ball. UNC averages 36.3 PPG, but, Miami averages 34.9. The Hurricanes' defense isn't what it used to be in year's past, but it's certainly much better than the Tar Heels' incompetent unit. The home team is also 7-1 ATS the last eight in this series, while the Tar Heels are 0-4 against the spread following a straight-up victory. Look for Miami to pull away for the comfortable SU/ATS win/cover; lay the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Central Michigan v. Toledo -11 | 23-24 | Loss | -107 | 99 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Toledo (8* MONEY-MAKER). Both teams are 3-2. The Chips won their first three games of the season, but they've dropped their last two, including a 45-20 beatdown loss at the hands of Ball State last week. In that game CMU allowed 519 yards of offense. Ty Brock had 188 yards and two TD passes for the Chips, but he also threw two costly INT's. The Chips average 33 PPG, but they allow 31.4. The Rockets average 37.2 PPG. Last week's 41-24 win over NIU showcased their offensive talent as well. Finally note that the Chips are a poor 1-4 ATS in their last five after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game, while Toledo is 5-1 ATS in its last six after posting 450 or more yards of offense in its previous outing. This one has "blowout" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Alabama -31 v. Arkansas | 52-3 | Win | 100 | 96 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Alabama (8* MONEY-MAKER). This is Bama's final tune-up before the SEC Championship Game and I believe it'll put the foot on the gas from start to finish. The Crimson Tide are already 7-2 ATS this season. Arkansas is also 7-2 ATS this year, but that's where the similarities between these team's ends. The Tide are outscoring the opposition 49.2 to 18.3 this year. But the Tide have been even better of late, conceding an average of only 8.3 PPG and winning by a margin of 42 points over their last four games. Arkansas averages only 28.2 PPG and it allows 33. Clearly this isn't a recipie for success, especially against the No. 1 team in the nation. Finally note that the Crimson Tide are 6-0 ATS in their last six after scoring 40 or more points in their previous game, while the Razorbacks are just 1-8-2 ATS in their last 11 after scoring 40 or more points in their previous outing. This one has "blowout" written all over it! T.M. Prediction: 51-7 Bama. | |||||||
12-10-20 | Florida Atlantic v. Southern Miss +8.5 | Top | 31-45 | Win | 100 | 57 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Southern Miss (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). This one sets up well for Southern Miss, who I think will easily cover with the large spread it's been afforded here. FAU is for sure the better team, but this is its final game of the year and after last week's 20-3 loss to Georgia Southern, I can't see the visiting side coming here very motivated. Southern Mississippi has had its last two games canceled due to covid issues, but three weeks ago it lost 23-20 in a competitive setback to UTSA. It's senior night for Southern Miss as well and that's an important motivational factor we can exploit here as well. I won't be so bold as to call for the outright upset, but the stage is definitely set for a real nail-biter on Thursday night; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: 21-17 FAU. | |||||||
12-06-20 | Washington State v. USC -13 | 13-38 | Win | 100 | 103 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: USC (8* SUPER SPECIAL). USC is 3-0 and I like it to lay the hammer down here vs. 1-1 WSU. Neither team played last week due to cancellations, so each is fresh. I think that benefits the better home side for sure. The Cougars last game was a 43-29 loss to the Ducks, while USC smashed Utah 33-17 on the road in its last action. The Trojans have been solid defensively as well, as they have the fourth best pass defense. The Cougars are poos against the pass, allowing 320.5 yards per game through the air. They're also just 1-4 ATS in their last five after playing with two or more weeks of rest and off a SU/ATS loss. I'm laying the points and expecting a blowout from start to finish! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. | |||||||
12-05-20 | Florida v. Tennessee +17.5 | Top | 31-19 | Win | 100 | 75 h 60 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Tennessee (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I was originally leaning towards Florida here, but after carefully examining this contest a little further, I'm now 100% going the other way. The Vols haven't played since a 30-17 loss at Auburn all the way back on October 21st. The Gators have a big red target on their backs now, as they have Playoff Championship hopes after last week's 34-10 win over Kentucky. With LSU at home next weekend, I think the Gators let up in the second half as they prepare to close out strong in front of the home town crowd. The Vols actually outgained Auburn 464-385 in their loss to Auburn and with the extra time off to prepare, I look for them to deliver the solid back door cover; grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
