Southern Mississippi vs LA Lafayette
Cajun Field, Lafayette, LA
7:30 PM | ESPNU
8-Unit Best Bet on the Ragin Cajuns minus the points.

The Cajuns are averaging 197 rushing yards per game ranking 14th nationally and will be facing a defense that ranks 114th nationally allowing 186 RYPG. So, the models are projecting that the Cajuns will wear down the SMU defensive front and gain over 200 RY. The models also project that the Cajuns will gain 450 or more total yards and commit no more than single turnover.

In past games, the Cajuns are 54-10 SU and 47-15-1 ATS for 76% winning bets when scoring 31 or more points and gaining 450 or more total yards. In addition, if they committed no more than a single turnover, they have gone 34-5 SU and 32-7 ATS for 82% winning bets.

Kansas vs Iowa State
7 PM EST
8-Unit Best Bet on Iowa State -3 points. I like this bet up to and including 4 points.

California vs Oregon
5:30 PM, Autzen Stadium
10-Unit Best Bet on Oregon minus the points

Bet on favorites between 21.5 and 31.5 points that are averaging 200 or more rushing yards per game and whose defense has held their previous three opponents to 125 or fewer rushing yards in each game has produced a highly profitable 63-5 SU record and 46-18-4 ATS mark good for 72% winning bets since 2010. This system has had 18 consecutive seasons of profitability.

At No.6 Oregon has all the motivation to play well and four all four quarters even if they do run the score up on California. The CFP committee served notice that margin of victory over conference foes does matter when they selected Ohio State as No. 1 this past week.

Oregon is 14-4 ATS as a favorite over the past two seasons. Cal is just 4-14 ATS home a home loss, but did cover the spread. They lost 50-49 to USC last week. Oregon head coach Lanning is 9-2 ATS after scoring 31 or more points in each of their last three games.

Betting on favorites between 21.5 and 31.5 points that have scored 31 or more points in each of their two previous games and has a great defense that is allowing an average 16 PPG on the season and is facing a foe that has a bad defense allowing 28 to 34 PPG has produced a 61-3 SU record and 41-23 ATS mark good for 64% winning bets since 1992. If our favorite is hosting the game, their record has been 32-1 SU and 23-10 ATS for 70% winning bets since 1992. The clincher here is if our home favorite has scored 31 or more points in three straight games, the record soars to 35-1 SU and 28-8 ATS for 78% winning bets regardless of game site.  

The current market implies a 42-18 Oregon win and the predictive model shows a high probability that Oregon is going to score at least 35 points in this contest. Even when they score 28 or more points they have earned a 28-15-1 ASTS mark for 65% winners; 24-9 ATS mark when scoring 35 or more points; 14-3 ATS when scoring 42 or more points in games played over the past five seasons. When at home and scoring 42 or more points they are 8-2 ATS for 80%.

Florida State vs Pittsburgh

Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh

3:30 PM ESPN

8-Unit best bet on FSU minus the points

No. 4 Florida State (8-0, 6-0 ACC) will travel to Pittsburgh (2-6, 1-3 ACC) to take on their fellow ACC foe Panthers set to start at 3:30 PM and will be televised by ESPN. FSU elected to start the season having to face two powerhouse ranked teams starting with the LSU Tigers in Week 1 and then their ACC rival Clemson Tigers in Week 4 and won them both on the road. Having played an won these games against ranked opponents has made FSU a much better team and one that I see going undefeated and being voted into the College Football Playoffs.

Following this game, FSU will host their ACC and state rival Miami Hurricanes next Saturday, then play their home finale against Northern Alabama, and then the season finale at Gainesville to face the SEC Florida Gators. They will be favored in every game and I see them winning by double-digits against Miami and Florida.

FSU ranks 4th nationally averaging 41.5 PPG and rank 18th allowing 18.3 PPG having played a difficult schedule. Pittsburgh ranks 116th averaging 19.1 PPG and ranks 101st allowing 31.9 PPG. So, FSU is outscoring their foes by 23.2 PPG while Pittsburgh is getting outscored by an average of 12.8 PPG. Simply stated, this is a monumental mismatch that warrants a line at least seven more points higher than the current price of 21.5 points.

FSU quarterback Jordan Travis is having a sensational season throwing for 2,109 yards with 18 touchdowns, just two interceptions and earning an 156 rating. Against the six conference foes he has faced he has completed 65% of his passes for 1,592 yards with 12 touchdowns and earning a 154 rating. Their formidable ground attack is led by Trey Benson, who has gained 544 rushing yards on 85 carries including seven scores. He accounts for only 41% of the 1,342 rushing yards gained on the season and reflects their strong depth at the running back position.

FSU has six receivers, who have caught 13 or more passes this season and are led by Keon Coleman with 38 catches, 538 receiving yards and nine scores. For the season, there have been 10 different receivers, who have accounted for the 21 receiving touchdowns. So, the Pittsburgh defense is not going to be capable of stopping this offense and I see them scoring at least 41 points in this game.

A Highly Profitable Situation to Bet FSU

FSU is supported by a terrific situation that has produced a 46-1 SU record for 98% wins and has earned a 33-14 ATS record good for 70.2% winning bets since 2010. The requirements are:

·      Bet on road teams that have won more than 75% of their games.

·      Is favored by 19.5 or more-points.

·      Our team has covered the spread in at least five of their last 7 games.

·      Our team is facing a losing record host

No. 11 Oregon State vs Arizona
10:30 PM ESPN

10-Unit best Bet on the Wildcats plus the 3 points

Betting on non-ranked home underdogs bet3een pick and 4.5 points that are facing a foe that is ranked and coming off a win that covered the spread by 3.5 to 10 points has produced a 27-20 SU record and 31-16 ATS mark for 66% winning bets sine 1993.

Betting on home underdogs that are taking on a foe that allowed 5.5 or more RYPA in each of their last two games has gone 31-44 SU and 47-27-1 ATS for 64% winning bets over the past 10 seasons. If facing a conference foe these home dogs have gone 29-35 SU and 43-20-1 ATS for 68% winning bets. If home team is priced as a 5.5 or fewer-point dog, they have gone 17-17 SU and 23-10-1 ATS for 70% winning bets.

Oregon State ranks 14th in scoring offense averaging 35.3 PPG and has the best red zone scoring offense in the nation. They produce scoring drives with their solid rushing attack ranking 28th gaining an average of 183 yards per game. However, Arizona has a great defensive front that ranks 19th nationally allowing just 99 YPG. Arizona can bring the heat effectively too in passing downs getting a sack on 9% on all plays run ranking 21st nationally. Plus, they get the job done in preventing multiple first down scoring drives averaging just 45% of the game on the field and ranks 13th best nationally. So, the OSU ground game is not going to have an easy time running the ball in this matchup – not saying they won’t gain over 100 yards, but it will be a struggle for them to do so.

Arizona can run the ball and have gained 1159 yards on 227 carries for a solid 5.1 YPRA. Jonah Coleman is the featured back and has gained 433 yards on 65 rushes for a 6.7 yards per carry with 3 TDs. Arizona ranks 8th nationally completing 72% of their passes and rank 37th allowing a sack on just 4.6% of plays run.

Syracuse vs Virginia Tech
7:30 EST, ESPN
8-Unit best bet on the Orange plus the points

Syracuse has been coming up on the radar more so this season than in others and that’s ok no matter if they are 4-3 or 7-0 or even 0-7 as the models present us with opportunities to exploit based on the situations teams find themselves in any matchup. After starting out 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS, the Orange suddenly ran out of fire power on the offensive side of the ball. They scored 14 points in a 31-14 loss to Clemson, then 12 days ago lost to No. 4 ranked FSU 41-3 as failed to cover as 19-point dogs at Tallahassee. In the second to last game, they lost at UNC 40-7 as 9.5-point road dogs. They had five turnovers in the first four games and then turned it over 7 times in the past three games. So, at this point everyone is highly suspect of the Orange and rightfully so based on recency bias alone.

V-Tech is not in the same class as UNC, Clemson, and FSU and few teams in the ACC, if any, would have been able to win on the road against those programs in consecutive weeks. The Orange have extra motivation to win the game and get one step closer to earning a bowl game appearance while at 3-4 V-Tech has little hope of getting to six wins knowing they are on the road at Louisville and BC, then a home finale against a solid NC State program and then a possible win at UVA.

Betting on road dogs between 2.5 and 10 points that are coming off two consecutive horrid double-digit losses to conference foes and have played UNDER in three of their last four games has produced a 41-50 SU record and a highly profitable 60-28-3 ATS mark good for 68% winning bets since 2015. If our team has not covered the spread in four consecutive games, their record soars to 9-11 SU and 15-4-1 ATS for 79% winning bets since 2015.

The base system mentioned first above has had just one losing record season going 2-5 ATS in 2021 over the past 10 seasons.

The Orange are 41-23 ATS following a game in which they allowed 6.75 or more YPPL. V-Tech is on an 0-6 ATS streak after having won three of their last 4 games.

Betting on home underdogs between 3.5 and 9.5 points following a game in which they committed no more than a single turnover and facing a foe coming off two consecutive games in which they had a turnover margin of one or better has earned a highly profitable 20-10 ATS for 67% winning bets over the past five seasons.

Western Kentucky is 21-7 ATS over the past three seasons for 75% winning bets in games that they score 28 or more points and the predictive model projects an 82% probability that they will score 30 or more points.

Duke vs Florida State
Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee, FL
7:30 PM EST, ABC
8-Unit Best Bet on the Seminoles minus the 14 points

In a matchup of ranked teams where the home team is ranked in the Top-15 and favored by double digits and hosting a foe that is ranked 15th or higher in the latest poll and a total of 50 or fewer points have gone 15-0 SU and 11-4 ATS.

Duke is 1-9 ATS following a blowout win of 21 or more points over a conference rival. FSU is 10-1 ATS following three straight games facing conference foes. UNC coming off a 24-3 win as 4-point favorites over NC State.  FSU is 6-0 on the season and coming off a 41-3 dominated win over Syracuse.

Penn State vs Ohio State

Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OH

Noon ET

10-Unit Best Bet on Penn State plus the 5 points.

Consider betting this game with 8-units preflop and then look to add the remaining two units on PSU if OSU scores a TD first or regains the lead during the first half of action. From the models, there is a solid chance that if the research is correct, that PSU scores first and wins the game, which would eliminate any opportunity to get the 2-unit placed. Instead, playing a 6-Unit bet on the line and a 2-Unit bet on the money line preflop is a solid strategy too.

PSU has one of the top offensive yards per point ratio in the nation – even factoring out the scrimmages against UMASS and Delaware. Teams that are ranked in the Top-10 from week 7 on out, and have posted a 46-7 SU record and a 31-22 ATS mark for 59% winning bets. If the team has a YPPT of 11 or lower (more efficient) and priced as a road dog have gone 20-12-1 ATS for 63% winners.

The quarterback comparison is heavily in favor of PSU. In games against ranked AP opponents, Drew Allar has earned a 141 QB rating, completed 68% of his passes, averaged 166 passing yards per game and thrown for four touchdowns. He has yet to throw an interception in any game. OSU’s Kyle McCord has posted a 111 QBR, completed only 57% of his passes, averaging 240 passing yards and throwing ZERO touchdowns.

Now, McCord has to go up against arguably the best defense in the nation that ranks #2 nationally allowing 8.2 PPG, best allowing 204 YPG, #2 allowing 0.128 points-per-play, best allowing 3.2 YPP, 8th allowing a 28% third down conversion rate, second allowing 67.4 rushing yards per game and allowing 2.1 yards per rush, best allowing 51% completion percentage, best allowing 4.9 yards per pass, #2 with a 14% sack percentage.

Penn State defeated UMASS 63-0 last week. That result may seem completely irrelevant for this game, but note that teams that scored 58 or more points and allowed six or fewer points in their previous game and now are priced as a road dog have gone 28-16 ATS for 64% since 1980 and if facing a conference foe they have gone 14-6 ATS for 70% winners.

PSU QB Drew Allar has a canon for an arm and despite the grey skies, I do believe you will see vertical crossing routes deep down the field using play action. PSU offensive line is tremendous and the best unit that Franklin has ever had. The ground attack is going to control the line of scrimmage and then when you see the OSU safeties creep closer and closer to the LOS to support the run defense I when these ’bomb’s will be thrown. Note, too, that OSU has allowed and gotten 10 sacks on the season. PSU has 26 sacks 50 tackles for loss and has allowed a sack on just 2.4% of all plays run ranking 9th-best nationally.

PSU is the better team on the OL and DL and we are getting points.

SMU vs Temple
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia
7:00 PM EST, ESPN
8-Unit Best Bet on the SMU Mustangs minus the points

Betting on road teams that allowed 17 or fewer points in each of their last two games and now taking on a host that scored 17 or fewer points in their last game has earned a 133-66-2 ATS record for 67% winners. If the game is a conference matchup and our road team is favored by 17 or more points, the record soars to 45-3 SU, 34-14 ATS for 71% winners since 2010.

Betting on road teams that are facing a host that has had a -1 or worse turnover margin in four consecutive games has gone 87-41-4 ATS for 68% winners over the past 10 seasons. If our road team is a double-digit favorite, they soar to 28-10-1 ATS for 74% winning bets.

James Madison vs Marshall
Jean C. Edwards Stadium, Huntington, WV
7 EST on ESPN
8-Unit Best Bet on Marshall plus the points

JMU is off to a perfect 6-0 start and are one of 11 undefeated FBS teams left in the nation. Marshall is a member of the Sun Belt and they need to a win to keep pace for the conference lead with Georgia State given that JMU is not eligible having moved up from the FCS last season. Also, JMU is coming off a monster win on the scoreboard winning by 28 points but outgaining Georgia Southern by just 18 total yards.

Betting on home dogs between 3.5 and 9.5 points following a game  in which they committed no more than one turnover and facing a foe that has turned in a +1 turnover advantage in each of their previous two games has produced a highly profitable 20-9-3 ASTS for 68% winning bets over the past five seasons.

NCAAF Thursday Night Sun Belt

Florida International vs. Sam Houston State

Elliott T. Bowers Stadium, Huntsville, TX

8-Unit Best Bet on FIU plus the points, currently priced at 5.

With the total priced at 41 points, scoring volatility will be below normal and limits the opportunity for a live in-game first half bet. So, I recommend placing the 8-Units all at once preflop.

Betting on dogs of 4.5 to 9.5 points in weeks 5 through 9 of the regular season that are coming off back-to-back conference losses of 10 or more points have gone 27-33 SU and 42-17-1 ATS for 71% winning bets since 2015.

USC vs Notre Dame

Notre Dame Stadium, Notre Damer, IN

7:30 EST NBC/Peacock

8-Unit Best Bet on the Trojans plus the 2.5 points.

This game is a matchup of ranked teams with USC taking to the road with a 6-0 SU record to take on a desperate Notre Dame squad with two losses on the season. USC is 2-4 ATS and 5-1 Over for the season. The Irish are 5-2 SU and 4-2-1 ATS including a 4-3 Under result on the season. USC  has lost to the spread and seen the Over win the money in each of their last three games. Notre Dame has lost two of their last three games in a most-difficult schedule and covered the spread in just one. Notre Dame lost 17-14 hosting Ohio State, then took to the road and won a tough-fought game 21-14 at Duke, and then another road game losing at Louisville by the final score of 33-20. The Irish team is experiencing a fatigue problem on both sides of the ball, but regardless will have to be fully prepared if they have hopes of upsetting USC and their reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Smith.

Supporting USC is the following betting system that has produced a 23-24 SU record and 25-12 ATS record for 68% winning bets over the past 10 seasons. The requirements are:

1.     Bet on a road teams priced between the 4’s.

2.     That road team is coming off a game in which they and their foe scored 31 or more points in their previous game.

3.     The game is a non-conference matchup.

Now, be sure to be sitting down for this subset. If our home dog has won no more than one game on the season, they soar to an unreal 10-9 SU and 15-3-1 ATS record good for 83% winning bets.

No. 8 Oregon vs No. 7 Washington

8:00 EST, Thursday

10-Unit Best Bet on Washington minus the points, currently priced as 3-point favorites.

Betting on teams priced between the 3’s and facing a foe following four consecutive games in which they covered the spread has produced a 39-15 SU record for 72% and 40-14 ATS for 74% winning bets over the past five seasons. Not one losing record and went 14-1 ATS in 2021. If our team is playing at home and facing a conference foe, their record has gone 20-5 ATS for 80% winning bets over the past five seasons.

From the predictive model, we learn that Washington is 19-1 SU and 15-5 ATS for 75% when scoring 35 or more points and gaining at least 7.4 yards per play. Washington is also 7-1 ATS when having 10 or more first downs and gaining at least 6 YPPL.

Syracuse Orange vs. No. 4 Florida State

Doak Campbell Stadium, Tallahassee, FL

Noon EST

8-Unit Best Bet on the Orange +18.5 points

From the predictive model, we are expecting the Orange offense to outperform the market’s expectations by scoring 26 or more points in this game. Betting OVER the Orange team total is valid. Consider betting 5 to 6 units on Syracuse plus the points and the remaining 1 to 2 units OVER the team total.

Now, in past games in which the Orange scored 26 or more points and scored in each quarter has produced a 40-7 SU record, 38-8-1 ATS mark for 83% winning bets. In road games dressed as a conference dog and scoring in at least 3 of the 4 quarters has produced a 7-7 SU record and an 11-2-1 ATS mark good for 85% winning bets.

A little sprinkle on the money line is warranted – just in case.

Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, MI

Noon EST

8-Unit Best Bet on the Wolverines minus the points

Betting on a team that has won their last three games by at least 21 points and facing a foe that lost their last game by 17 or more points has produced an exceptional 77-8 SU record and a 59-25-1 ATS mark for 70% winning bets since 2010. Now, if that foe is coming off a loss to a conference foe the record improves to a stellar 47-17-1 ATS for 73.4% winning bets since 2010. Drilling a bit deeper into the data, if our team is favored by 21 or more points, they soar to 44-0 SU and 34-9-1 ATS for 79% winning bets since 2010.

Betting on teams priced between the 3’s and facing a foe following four consecutive games in which they covered the spread has produced a 39-15 SU record for 72% and 40-14 ATS for 74% winning bets over the past five seasons. Not one losing record and went 14-1 ATS in 2021.

Liberty at Jacksonville State

7:30 EST, Tuesday

Burgess-Snow Field, Jacksonville, AL

8-Unit Best Bet on Liberty minus the points, currently -6

Let’s get right into the betting algorithm supporting this best bet opportunity produced from the predictive model. This one has earned a 33-33 record, but a highly profitable 41-21-4 ATS for 66.1% winning bets over the past 8 seasons going back to 2014. The requirements are to bet on teams in a matchup of soldi teams that each have won 80% or more of their games on the season and with the foe having covered the spread by 49 or more points over the past five games. Now, if our team is favored by 4.5 to 9.5 points, the record soars to a highly profitable 12-4-2 ATS for 75% winning bets over the past 10 seasons.

Liberty is undefeated at 5-0 and has covered the spread in four of those five games losing to the spread last game against Sam Houston State. JAX State is 5-1 SU and 5-1 ATS. They have covered their last five games by 62.5 points and by 67 points on the season. So, this is the achievement level in which we would expect JAX State to experience some form of regression and a market that has now over valued them. In fact, home dogs of 6 or more points that have covered the spread by 60 or more points over their last 6 games have gone just 4-19 SU and 7-16 ATS for 30% wins.

Georgia Tech vs No. 17 Miami (FLA)

8:00 PM EST
10-UNIT Best Bet on the Hurricanes minus the 20 points

Betting on home favorites of 11.5 or more points in games with a posted total between 42.5 and 59.5 points and hosting a foe that is fresh off a humiliating loss of 17 or more points as a home favorite of 10 or more points have earned an outstanding 47-4 SU record and a 37-13-1 ATS mark good for 74% winning bets over the past 25 seasons and 36-1 SU and 27-9-1 ATS since 2006. If this game is a matchup of conference foes, the favorite has gone 15-4-1 ATS for 79% winning bets.

From the predictive model, we are expecting the Hurricanes to score 35 or more points and when they have in home games have earned a highly profitable 4-0 SU and ATS and covering the number by an average of 9 PPG under current head coach Mario Cristobal.

Vanderbilt vs Florida

8-Unit best bet on the Florida Gators minus the points

4:00 EST SECN

Betting on conference favorites between 13.5 and 19.5 points that are playing with revenge from a last season loss priced as a double-digit favorite and taking on a foe that is fresh off a loss priced as a dog have gone a highly profitable 31-4 SU and 25-10 ATS for 71.4% winning bets over the past 25 seasons of action and 6-2 ASTS over the past five seasons.

Florida is 16-3-1 ATS in home games when facing a poor rushing team that is gaining an average of just 120 or fewer yards per game. Vanderbilt is 0-6 ATS this season and 13-35 ATS following a game in which they have allowed 325 or more passing yards.

Road conference dogs are just 18-29-3 ATS for 38% if they have lost 6 or more consecutive games to the spread, lost 4 or more consecutive games SU and have two or fewer wins on the season.

Washington State vs UCLA

3:00 PM EST

8-Unit Best Bet on UCLA minus the 3.5 points

Again, consider betting 5.5 units preflop on UCLA and then look to get 1.5 more units on UCLA at Pick-em and then 1-Unit at +2.5. This game has a total of 60+ points and the scoring volatility is coming to be quite high so let it work in your favor.

Unranked home favorites facing a conference foe that is ranked 10th to 25th in the current poll and with a game total between 52.5 and 65 points have gone 31-20 ATS for 61% winners.

LSU vs Missouri

Noon PM EST, 10/7

8-Unit best bet on the LSU Tigers minus the points.

Consider betting 6-units preflop on the Tigers and then look for Missouri to score the first TD of the game and get the remaining 2-units on the Tigers at pick-em or as close to pick-em as possible.

Here is a situational betting algorithm that has produced a 41-14 SU record and am32-21-2 ATS record for 61% winning bets over the past 25 seasons and is 8-3 ATS over the past seven seasons. The requirements are to bet on road favorites in a conference matchup that are ranked lower in the current AP poll. LSU is 23rd while undefeated Missouri is 21st. if our team is coming off a loss, they soar to 13-5-2 ATS for 72% winning bets and if they scored 27 or more points in that loss are a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS

LSU has two losses and Missouri has none, but LSU has played a much more difficult schedule. You may recall we had Ole Miss as a 10-UNIT MAX Bet winner over LSU last week and with the other loss taking place in Week 1 over highly ranked FSU.

There have been reports of player descension in the locker room over head coach Kelly. I do not put much weight in the handicapping of this game, because at the end of the day, many of the players in that locker room have much bigger goals of playing in the NFL.

Oklahoma vs Texas

Noon EST, October 7, Week 6

8-Unit best bet on the Texas Longhorns minus the points

Betting on teams that have won 80% or more of their games and facing a foe that has covered the spread by 49 or more points spanning their last five games and also has won 80% or more of their games on the season has produced a highly profitable 29-13-3 ATS record good for 69% winning bets over the past 20 seasons.

Teams, like Texas, who they and their current foe in week 6 action has no more than one loss and with that foe having covered the spread by 42 or more points over their first five games has gone 9-4-1 ATS for 69% winning bets. Also, teams, like Texas, who are coming off a game in which they gained 300 or more rushing and 300 or more passing yards in their previous game have gone 96-29 (77%) and 71-52-2 ATS for 58% winning bets. If facing an undefeated conference foe has gone 6-1 SU and ATS for 86% winning bets.

In the red river rivalry, Texas is 8-3 SU and 9-2 ATS for 82% winners when scoring 31 or more points and the predictive model shows an 84% probability that Texas will score 31 or more points. Even if they score 28 or more points, Texas has gone 10-3 SU and 11-2 ATS for 85% winners.

Western Michigan vs Mississippi State

Noon EST, Saturday

8-Unit best bet on Mississippi State minus the points

Betting on favorites between 16 and 24.5 points and with a total between 48 and 61.5 points that are coming off a terrible loss of 20 or more points to a conference foe priced as an underdog and with the game occurring during the regular season have gone 59-2 SU, 45-16 ATS for 74% winning bets over the past 22 seasons.

The total of 57 points and State being favored by 20 points implies a State 38.5-18.5 point win. The predictive model shows an 82% probability that State will score at least 31 points and in past games in which they have done this, they have gone 40-6 SU and 36-9 ATS for 80% winning bets and if on the road facing a non-conference foe has produced a 17-1 SU record and a 13-5 ATS mark good for 72% winning bets.

Kansas State vs Oklahoma State

7:30 PM EST, 10/6

8-Unit best bet on the Oklahoma State Cowboys

plus 11.5 points.

Here is a situational betting algorithm that has produced a 33-45 SU record and a 47-25-6 ATS record for 65% winning bets over the past 10 seasons and is 10-1 ATS over the past three seasons. The requirements are to bet on a team that has a struggling defense that is allowing between 5.6 and 6.25 YPPL and is facing a team that has a solid offensive unit gaining at least 6.2 YPPL and has a defense that allowed 6.75 YPPL in each of their last two games. Over the past three seasons this algorithm has produced an 8-3 SU and 9-2-1 ATS mark good for 82% winning bets.

Western Kentucky vs Louisiana Tech

Joe Aillet Stadium, Ruston, LA

8:00 EST, October 5

8-Unit Best Bet on the LT Bulldogs plus the points

It is Thursday and we have two games scheduled in the C-USA. The Bulldogs are coming off a 24-10 win featuring a punt return for a TD over UTEP. JAX State won lasty night as an 8-Unit Best bet over Middle Tennessee State and leads the conference with a 3-0 record. The Bulldogs are 2-0 and W. Kentucky is 1-0 in conference play, so barring a tie, one of these teams will join the conference unbeaten ranks.

Betting on home underdogs ranging from 3.5 to 9.5 points that is coming off a game in which they committed no more than one turnover and facing a foe that has won the turnover battle in their past two games has earned a highly profitable 13-16 SU record and a 19-7-3 ATS mark good for 73% winning bets over the past five seasons.

Bulldogs head coach Sonny Cumbie is on a 6-0 ASTS run when playing on the road for the second consecutive week.

From the predictive mode, we are expecting the bulldogs to score 28 or more points and have the same or fewer turnovers and when they have met these measures has produced a 74-14 SU record and 64-22-2 ATS mark good for 74% winning bets and when priced as a home pup has produced a 3-6 SU mark and a near-perfect 8-1 ATS for 89% winning bets.

Jacksonville State vs Middle Tennessee State

Thursday, October 5

8-Unit best bet on Jacksonville State plus the points

Betting on a team that is coming off a game that soared over the total by at least 21 points, is a dog between 3.5 and 9.5 points, in the first 7 weeks of the regular season, and has won 70% or more of their games has earned a solid 27-15-2 ATS record for 64% winning bets over the past 10 seasons.

MTST head coach Stockstill is 1-12 ATS when facing a team with a turnover margin of 1 or better per game.

From the predictive model, we are looking for JST to score 24 or more points and to commit the same or fewer turnovers. MTST is 8-21 and 5-24 ATS for 17% when allowing 24 or more points in home games and have the same or more turnovers.

Notre Dame vs Duke

Wallace Wade Stadium

7:30 PM EST

8-Unit Best Bet on the Duke plus the 5.5 points

In Week 1, we nailed Duke in their upset win over Clemson and here they are again poised to pull off an even bigger upset against a ranked Notre Dame team, who lost on the play of the game last week in South Bend over the Ohio State Buckeyes.

So, betting on home dogs between 3 and 10 points in a matchup of two teams that out rush their opponents by 60 or more YPG have gone 26-22 SU and 35-11 ATS for 76% winning bets over the past five seasons. If the foe is a Top-25 ranked team, the record of these live dogs soars to 18-9 SU and 22-4-1 ATS for 85% winning bets.

Make no mistake about it, Duke has an excellent defense that can cause major problems for the Irish offense. The Irish are 11-26 ATS when facing a team, whose defense allows an average of 285 or fewer YPG; 14-34 ATS when facing a defense that allows 4.5 or fewer yards per play. Duke is on a 12-2 ATS win streak in games played on a grass field; 7-0 ASTS following a game in which they outgained the foe by 125 or more total yards; 10-1 ATS in home games played in the first half of the season over the last three seasons.

LSU vs Ole Miss

10-UNIT Best Bet on Ole Miss plus the points

6:00 PM EST

Let’s start with some analytics. Betting on home underdogs whose defense allows between 330 and 390 yards per game and facing a foe that averages 440 or more YPG and is coming off a game in which they allowed 6.25 or more YPPL have gone 85-41-2 ATS for 68% winning best over the past 25 seasons.

Ole Miss is 43-23 ATS when facing very good offenses averaging 34 or more PPG; 26-12-1 ATS in home games following two straight games in which they forced no more than one turnover in each game.

Betting on home underdogs using the money line that is an elite passing team gaining an average of 8.3 PYPA after allowing 9 or more passing yards/attempt in their last game and now facing a foe that is an average passing defense allowing 6.5 to 7.5 PYPA has earned a highly profitable 17-10 record for 62% winners averaging a +275 wager earning a 110% ROI over the past 10 seasons.

Betting on home teams using the money line in September that are facing a foe that is coming off a win by 7 or fewer points over a conference rival has gone 134-63-2 SU for 68% winners and 60-17 SU for 78% winners over the past 10 seasons. If in a conference matchup, our home team has gone 15-3 SU for 83% winning bets.

No. 24 Kansas vs No. 3 Texas

DKR – Texas Memorial Stadium

3:30 PM EST

8-Unit best bet on the Texas Longhorns minus the 16 points

Kansas head coach Leipold is just 1-10 ATS in road games after out rushing their previous foe by at least 125 yards. Texas head coach Sarkisian is 6-0 ATS in home games following back-to-back games in which his defense no more than one turnover in each game.

From the predictive model, we are looking for Texas to out gain Kansas by at least 2 YPPL and or score. In past games in which Texas accomplished this has seen them go 25-1 SU and 19-7 ATS for 73% winners when at home and priced as a double-digit favorite.

Clemson vs Syracuse

Noon EST

8-UNIT best bet on Syracuse plus the points and sprinkle the money line

The Tigers are 2-11 ATS (15%) in the first 4 weeks last three seasons

The Orange is 12-3 SU, 11-3-1 ATS (79%) in the first 4 weeks last three seasons

Week 5: No. 6 Penn State vs Northwestern

Noon EST, 9-30

8-Unit Best Bet on Penn State -27 points and is good up to 29.5

8-Unit best bet Over the posted total of 47 points OR (Not Both) Over the team total for PSU 36.5 points OR 4-Units Over PSU team total and 4-UNITS OVER Game total

Parlay is NOT recommended

The undefeated Penn State Nittany Lions take to the road to take on the Big-Ten conference foe Northwestern Wildcats set to kickoff at Noon EST. Penn State is coming off an impressive, but largely unnoticed 31-0 dominating home win over the then-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. After such a dominating win in which Penn State’s defense held Iowa to just four first downs, 56 passing yards and 26 rushing yards and outgained them by 321 total yards, they moved up one slot to No. 6 of the latest AP poll. That lack of attention is all the news info head coach James Franklin needs to motivate his team and avoid any minor letdown.

I wrote prior to the season that I had made a bet at 38:1 that Texas would take on Penn State in the College Football Playoff game. Penn State ranks 15th scoring an average of 40.5 PPG and 5th-best allowing an average of just 8.8 PPG of the 133 Division-1 programs. Penn State is priced at +1600 and even now with a 4-0 record represents the biggest undervalued team on the board to win the National Championship at BetMGM.

Another futures bet I have made based on the value currently offered at DraftKings is on Penn State sophomore and 5-Star recruit Drew Allar at +3500 to win the Heisman. Through four games he has completed 67.2% of his passes for 903 passing yards, eight touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He is getting better with each game and although he is a dark horse to win the Heisman, if Penn State defeats Ohio State on the road and then Michigan at home, you can bet he will be one of the contenders.

James Franklin has his best and most experienced offensive line and arguably the best unit in the Big Ten conference. The ground attack features last year’s Big Ten offensvie3 freshman of the year in Nicholas Singleton, who has 203 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Moreover, his running mate in the backfield returns in Kaytron Allen, who has 280 rushing yards and two touchdowns this season.

Under head coach James Franklin is 14-1 SU and 13-2 ATS for 87% winning bets in road games facing a conference foe and scoring 28 or more points.

Louisville vs NC State

7:00 EST, ESPN

Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh, NC

8-Unit best bet the Wolfpack plus the 3.5 points

NC State is 3-1 on the season and has not covered the spread in any of those four games. Their lone loss was at the hands of Notre Dame in Week 2 losing 45-24. Louisville is 5-0 and 2-3 ATS on the season and this is the first of many major showdowns coming up in the ACC. Not to mention Syracuse tomorrow taking on Clemson, who already has two losses on the season.

Betting on home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points in a game involving two solid rushing teams out gaining their foes by at least 60 YPG has earned an outstanding 26-22 record and 35-11 ATS for 76% winning bets over the past five seasons.

Temple Owls vs Tulsa Golden Hurricane

Chapman Stadium, Tulsa, Oklahoma

7:30 EST, ESPN

8-Unit best bet on the Temple Owls plus the points, currently priced as 3.5-point underdogs in this AAC matchup.

Owls head coach Stan Drayton has 16 returning starts from last year’s squad with 7 on offense including the quarterback and 9 on defense. Tulsa skipper Kevin Wilson is rebuilding with only four offensive and five defensive returning starters. Plus, he has an inexperienced quarterback.

The Owl’s EJ Warner has completed just 54% of his passes and yet has thrown for 1000 passing yards. Despite Temple losing 41-7 last week to powerhouse Miami (Fla), Warner managed to throw for 240 yards including a touchdown. The Hurricane defense is more like a big breeze as compared to the strength and speed of the Miami Category 4 Hurricane defense.

The predictive model shows us that Temple is 4-6 SU and 10-0 ATS when passing for 300 or more yards and scoring 27 or more points.

Ole Miss vs Alabama

10-UNIT BEST BET on the Alabama Crimson Tide minus the points.

With a total of 56 points and a line favoring Alabama by 7 points reflect s an Alabama 31.5 24.5 in Tuscaloosa. My predictive models show an 86% probability that Alabama will score at least 28 points and in past games in which they did score 28+ points they have gone 113-6 SU for 95% winners and 75-41-3 ASTS for 65% winning bets under head coach Nick Saban. Alabama is 15-1 SU and 12-4 ASTS for 75% under Saban in conference games and having suffered a loss on the season and scoring at least 28 points. If that loss was at home, he has gone 11-2 SU and 10-3 ASTS for 78% winning bets. He is also 18-9 STS for 67% winners coming off two or more ats losses.

Mississippi is just 14-40 SU and 16-37-1 ATS for 30% when allowing 28 or more points and 11-35 SU and 14-31-1 ATS for 31% when facing an SEC foe since 2014.

Alabama has issues on offense and there is no doubting it, but the market has overreacted in a significant fashion. More than two months ago, this game had Alabama lined as a 15.5-point favorite and now has plummeted to -7. Did everyone forget just how good this defense is this season. In each of the previous negative starts to the season in which Saban’s team have struggled out of the gate they did successfully make the adjustments and fixed the problems on both sides of the ball and came out with a performance that reminds of us of who the Tide are: winners of 10 National Champions, twice as many as any one else. They covered the spread by an average of 7 PPG in these situations and my predictive model is expecting the same outcome.

Tennessee vs Florida

7:30 PM EST, Saturday, September 16

10-Unit best bet on the Florida plus the points

With a total of 58.5 points and a line favoring the No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers by 6 points implies a 32-26 Volunteer win. The scoring has the potential to be quite volatile with many lead changes, which will provide great betting opportunities as well. So, consider betting 6-Units preflop and then add 1-Unit if Tennessee scores a touchdown first (not a field goal or safety) or if Tennessee gets out to a 10-0 lead having scored a FG first. Or simply add the 2-units if the price makes Florida a double-digit underdog at any point during the first half.

Betting on teams ranked in the Top-20 (not Top-25) that are road favorites of 4.5 to 9.5 points and facing a conference foe in the first four weeks of the regular season has gone 29-11 SU (73%), but just 13-27 ATS for 33% winning bets. So, fading these ranked false favorites is a great betting opportunity. If the game occurs in the SEC conference, the home dog is an amazing and highly profitable 13-2 ATS for 87% winning bets sine 1994 and has not lost ATS since 2010 going a perfect 10-0 ATS for 100% winners.

No. 11 Tennessee opens Southeastern Conference play on the road Saturday night against a Florida offense that gained nearly 1,100 yards combined in their last two meetings. Tennessee defeated Florida last season, 38-33, after losing 16 of the previous 17 matchups against the Gators. This will be the first matchup the Volunteers are ranked in the AP Poll and the Gators are not since October 2, 1971, when Tennessee was then No. 12. Last week against the McNeese State Cowboys, Trevor Etienne, Montrell Johnson and Treyaun Webb became the first FBS trio this season to each record at least 10 rushes, 70 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in a single game. This is the only such game for the Gators over the past 25 seasons. The last time Tennessee visited the Swamp on Sept. 25, 2021, Florida held the No. 11 ranking and rolled up 505 yards of offense in a 38-14 victory.

The predictive models and applications. Suggest that Florida will score 27 or more points and have at least a three-minute edge in time-of-possession and run at least 8 more plays then Tennessee. In past games in which they met or exceeded these performance measures led Florida to a 24-1 record, 18-7 ATS for 72% winners and a 16-9 Over result. In past games in which Tennessee allowed these measures led them to a 4-21 SU record and 4-20-1 ATS mark for just 17% winning bets including an 18-6-1 Over result.

Line: Wisconsin -6 | Total:59 points

8-UNIT BEST BET on Wisconsin minus the points

This is a matchup between the Big Ten and PAC-12 in week 2 that will be televised nationally on ABC. Wisconsin got off to a low start in week 1 under new coach Luke Fickell before the offense took flight in a 38-17 win over the Buffalo Bulls. Wisconsin failed to cover the spread priced as 27.5-point home favorites. The Bulls trailed by only four points at the half, but were outscored by 24-7 in the second half.

Wisconsin inexplicably lost 17-14 at home to Washington State in Week 3 priced as 17.5 point favorites so revenge is a factor that will prevent them from overlooking them a second consecutive year. Washington State has played in a bowl game seven straight seasons and eight of the past nine. However, the coaching staff has it’s third different offensive and defensive coordinator in as many seasons. Despite the fact that they have former OC Ben Arbuckle, who developed the 8th best offense in college football that averaged just under 500 Yards-Per-Game, it takes time for any offense to learn a new system without any game experience.

On defense the problem worsens for Washington State having just five returning starters from a unit that allowed seven foes 20 or fewer points. So, it is not realistic to expect a rebuilding defense to have the potential to stop a Wisconsin air raid offense that returns 10 starters including quarterback Tanner Mordecai, who passed for 72 touchdowns in his past two seasons. Wisconsin has three outstanding starting receivers (Chimere Dike, Bryson Green, and Will Pauling) and added 13 quality players form the transfer portal.

From my predictive models, expect Wisconsin to score 28 or more points and gain at least 6 yards-per-play in this game. In past road games when they have met or exceeded these performance measures has led them to a 24-2 SU record and a 22-3-1 ATS mark since 2006. Since 2018 or five seasons, they have gone 8-0 SU and ATS.

Texas vs Alabama

7:00 PM EST, September 9, 2023

8-UNIT best bet on Texas plus the points currently priced at 7.

If Alabama scores first in this game, consider adding no more than 1-unit on the money line.

Texas head coach Sarkisian is 25-10 ATS in games with a total between 49.5 and 56 for his career. He knows what championship teams look like having been at the helm at USC in 2003 when they won the National Championship and as the offensive coordinator for Alabama in their championship season in 2020.

Betting on dogs between 3.5 and 9.5 points after a game in which they outgained their foes by 175 or more total yards and has an experienced QB under center while facing a foe with a new and inexperienced QB at the helm has earned a 55-22 ATS record for 72% winning bets over the past 10 seasons.

Quinn Ewers is the starting QB for Texas and was the #1 5-star quarterback in the 2021 recruiting class. He had a largely up and down season, but now has that valuable game experience under his belt. Remember, Texas lost at home to Alabama as 17.5 underdogs on a last second FG last year. They have superior depth at wide receiver this season with returning starter Xavier Worthy and the top-rated WR in the transfer portal in AD Mitchell from Georgia. Even more important is that the Longhorns return four of the five offensive linemen, and that unit has tremendous chemistry, which is a significant advantage for them against the ‘Bama defense. If the models and my research are correct, I do believe Texas wins this game outright.

Betting on home teams that are coming off a game in which they gained 7.25 or more yards per play in their previous game and in a game with both teams having eight or more returning defensive starters on their team has earned a solid 79-39 ATS record good for 67% winning bets over the past 10 seasons and is a consistent 56-28 ATS for 67% winners over the past five seasons.

The Aggies have played their last six games without throwing an interception, which is the best current streak in the FBS. Problem for the Aggies is that these streaks rarely continue past six or seven games. Colbie Young had four receptions for 79 yards and caught his sixth career touchdown in his ninth career game with Miami. Among all power conference wideouts with less than 10 career games, Young has the most receiving touchdowns (six), second most catches (36) and second most receiving yards (446).

From the predictive models, Miami is expected to have the same or fewer turnovers and hold the Aggies to less than 100 yards rushing. In past games in which Miami achieved these performance measures has seen them go 42-6 SU and 31-15-2 ATS for 67.4% winning bets.  

Consider betting 80^ of your bet amount preflop and then look to add the remaining 20% if Notre Dame scores a TD first or takes a 10-0 lead if their first score was a field goal.

Betting on an unranked home underdogs of 7.5 or fewer points in the first two weeks of the season and with a posted total of 50 or more points has earned a solid 12-9 SU record and a 14-7 ASTS mark good for 67% winning bets since 2008. Now, if they are home dogs of between 3.5 and 9.5 points, they do even better with a 9-24 SU record and an impressive 16-7 ATS mark for 70% winning bets since 2008.

Teams have not played a game since 2017, but Notre Dame is riding a 32-3 SU record against the ACC, but has produced a 18-17 ATS mark over that span since 2017. Th efact that this trend has matured over many years actually becomes one that will be prone to reverse course with ND losing more ATS and SU then previously has been attained. Moreover, ND is just 2-112 ATS in road games after leading their last two games by 14 or more points at the half dating back to 2007.

Betting on home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points, was a bowl team from the previous season has earned a 100-52 ATS mark for 65% winning bets. Plus, dogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are facing a foe that is coming off a home win of 17 or more points and had won 60% or more of their games in the previous season has earned a 50-20-2 ATS mark good for 72% winning bets over the past 20 seasons.

Clemson vs Duke
Monday, September 4, 2023
8-Unit best bet on the Duke Blue Devils plus the points, currently priced at 13 points.

Duke second-year head coach Mike Elko has 18 returning starters with 10 on offense including last year’s quarterback, Riley Leonard. After a three-win 2021 season that include losses in their last eight games, former head coach David Cutcliffe was dismissed. Elko turned things around immediately winning 8 regular season games and then won 30-13 in the Military Bowl over UCF.

This will be the first time since 2018 that these two ACC members have met. Since 1980, Duke is 5-25 SU and 14-16 ATS with all but three games taking place prior to the 2008 season. So, not much history between these programs, but given a chance to showcase their program, you can be sure that Duke and its’ fans will be fully prepared and ramped up to pull off an upset.

With a total of 55.5 points and Clemson favored by 13 points implies a 34.25-21.25 Clemson win. However, my predictive models show a high probability that Duke will score 27 or more points and average 6 or more yards-per-play. There are several projections that result in Duke’s offense gaining more YPP than Clemson. In past games in which Duke scored 27 or more points and averaged 6 or more YPP they went on to a highly profitable 12-3 SU and 11-4 ATS for 73% winning bets over the past 5 seasons. If they score 27+ points and gain more YPP than their foe, the record goes to 16-2 SU and 15-3 ATS for 83% winning bets.

Florida State vs LSU
8-Unit best bet on the Seminoles plus the points.

I suggest making a 7-Unit bet using the spread and then look for LSU to score first or retake the lead during the first half of action and then bet 1-unit on the Seminoles using the money line.

FSU head coach Mike Norvell returns 17 starters with nine on defense. The Seminoles started 22 freshman at some point in games played last season and that experience is a monumental advantage and provides superior depth at the skill positions in this matchup.

Last year, the Seminoles played 22 freshmen ranking third most in college football and ranked third nationally scoring an average 10.4 PPG in the first quarter of action. Jordan Travis, a senior transfer from Louisville, returns under center after having a great 2022 campaign completing 64% of his 226 passes for 3,214 yards, 24 touchdowns, and an outstanding 160.1 quarterback rating (QBR). What I am most impressed this coming into the season are the stable of Seminole running backs starting with red shirt junior transfer Trey Benson, red shirt freshman Rodney Hill, red shirt junior, Lawrence Toafili, red shirt junior transfer Caziah Holmes, and red shirt sophomore CJ Campbell, JR.

After transferring from Oregon, Benson ran for 990 rushing yards, averaging 6.4 yards-per-rush (YPR) including nine touchdowns (TD). He accounted for 1,156 yards from scrimmage and 120 TD. I believe Hill is going to have a breakout season and is listed as the second RB on the Seminole depth chart. He has elite quickness, speed, and elusiveness that may give the Seminoles two 1,000 yard ground gainers this season. The most significant addition to the Seminole offense is the junior transfer Keon Coleman from Michigan State, who has NFL size at 6-4 and 215 pounds and can be consistently covered in man coverage schemes. For MSU last season, he caught a team high 58 balls for a team-high 798 receiving yards, averaging 13 yards-per-catch (YPC) including team-high eight receiving TD.

From the predictive models, we are looking for FSU to score 28 or more points and have the same or fewer turnovers. In past games in which FSU met or exceeded these measures has produced a 18-0 record and 14-4 ATS record good for 78% winning bets. In games in which LSU allowed 28+ points and had the same or more turnovers has led to a 4-9 record and a 3-10 ATS record for 23% winners in games played over the past five seasons.

Thursday – Nebraska vs Minnesota
8-Unit Best Bet on Nebraska +7.5 points.

·      Betting on road underdogs facing a conference foe using the MONEY LINE

·      Our dog is priced at 10 or fewer points

·      Game occurs in the first three weeks of the season

·      Our dog is coming off a season in which they allowed 400 or YPG

·      26-26 (50%) | 315 ML wager | 310% ROI past 20 seasons

Subset: If our road warrior lost by 3 to 9 points in the previous meeting

9-12 (43%) | 12-5 ATS (71%) last 20 seasons

At this point, it appears the Cornhuskers will have their third different starting QB in as many seasons. Former Georgia tech QB, Jeff Sims transferred to Nebraska in December and had a solid Spring football season. He will have a much-improved offensive line in front of him led by ASU transfer and Center Ben Scott.  The offensive scheme will be the spread option under head coach Matt Rhule. Nebraska will run the ball from many different pre and post-snap alignments and create opportunities for short pass routes, which in turn will set up the play action pass play in man coverage situations. This ball-controlled scheme will give the defense time to rest between sets of downs, which is something that unit has not benefitted from in many seasons.

Sims will have a solid set of WR to throw the ball two starting with a duo of Senior-transfers. The ‘X’ wideout is Marcus Washington, who transferred from the Texas Longhorns after the 2021 season. For Nebraska last season he played in 12 games and caught 31 balls for 471 receiving yards, but only one TD. Billy Kemp has transferred from Virginia and is in position to excel in this ball-controlled offensive scheme. He will be in the slot and is quick enough at 5-9 and 170 lbs. to create separation from defenders as he did in the ACC. He had 137 receptions in the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The third WR is Zavier Betts, who is a red-shirt sophomore, who had 20 receptions in 12 games for 417 receiving yards.  Behind them is a core of WR featuring seven new freshman all with the potential to make sizable contributions.

The Gophers return just eight starters with four on offense and defense each this season. They are in a rebuilding type of season. Their defense ranked 41st nationally allowing 23.2 PPG and they lost a lot of talent from that unit that is not replaceable in the early weeks of a season for a program not named Georgia. So, I do strongly believe Nebraska will eb able to move the ball effectively and chew up the game clock and earn a sizable time-of-possession advantage leading to a potential outright win.

A Situational Betting System
The following betting system has earned a solid 296-204-1 ATS record good for 59.2% ATS winning bets over the past 20 seasons. The requirements are to bet on conference road teams with a total of 50 or fewer points and is priced as a dog between 7 and 13.5 points. What is truly great about this system is that it has not had a losing record season since 2004 and that is 20 season folks. If our road dog has lost the four consecutive games to the current opponent, the record soars to an amazing 32-11 ATS record good for 74.4% winning bets over the past 20 seasons.
     This is one of my more than 5000 betting systems and algorithms that I have developed and tested over my 28-year career. I have put together an optimized packed of 103 betting systems, which the aforementioned is one of them, and is akin to a well-managed optimized 401-K plan. By diversifying the risk of a single bet and spreading it out over the course of many diverse betting situations that teams and respective matchups find themselves has produced exceptionally profitable results. 

Head coach Rhule is a solid 43-18-1 ATS when facing a conference foe and is 28-12 ATS when on the road for his career.

Thursday – Florida Gators vs Utah Utes
8-Unit Best Bet on Florida +4.5 points

The ranked Utah Utes will take on the SEC-member Florida Gators in Week 1 action set to kickoff at 8:00 PM EST, Thursday evening.

Ranked teams of between a 7.5-point dog and 7.5-point favorite are 44-41 SU (52%) and 35-47-3 ATS (43%) in Week 1 action. If they won 10 or more games in the previous season, they have underperformed with a 26-22 SU record (54%0 and 19-27-2 ATS mark for just (41%), and the OVER has gone 28-18-2 for a solid 61% winning bets.

Let’s drill a bit deeper into the omnipotent database. In week 1 action ranked teams priced between a 7.5 dog and favorite and facing an unranked foe fall flat producing a 15-12 SU record and 7-19-1 ATS mark good for 27% winning bets. This implies that fading these falsely ranked teams, hits 73% winning bets. Not the situation for our matchup here but note for future reference that these Week 1 teams when priced as a dog have gone a terrible 0-4 ATS. If our road disrespected dog won fewer games in the previous season than the ranked foe, these dogs have earned an 11-15 record and a solid 18-7-1 ATS for 72% winning bets over the past 17 seasons and since Covid in 2020, this situational betting angle is a perfect 6-0 ATS.

Gator head coach Napier is 5-1 ATS pried as a dog and was 10-3 as a dog while at the helm of Louisiana Lafayette; 15-4 ATS for his career. Utes head coach Whittingham is just 21-35 ATS for 38% when priced as a 3.5-to-9.5-point favorite. If those games occurred during the first four weeks, Whittingham is just 4-9 ATS for 31%.

From the predictive models, we are looking for Florida to score 24 or more points and have a 5 or more-minute advantage in time-of-possession. In past games in which Florida has met or exceeded these performance measures, they have gone on to a 45-2 SU record and 35-12 ATS mark good for 75% winning bets and if the game is on the road and they are priced as the dog, 4-2 SU and a perfect 6-0 ATS. When Utah has allowed these performance measures, they have gone 4-16 SU and 3-16-1 ATS for 16%.

Peach Bowl - Mercedes-Benz Stadium - Atlanta, GA

5% 10-UNIT MAX Bet on the Ohio State Buckeye plus the points

All the Buckeyes wanted was another opportunity to redeem themselves, just as Georgia did a year ago. The Bulldogs lost 41-24 to Alabama in the 2021 SEC title game but as the No. 3 seed in the CFP downed No. 2 Michigan 34-11 before defeating No. 1 Alabama 33-18 for the national championship. Ohio State's C.J. Stroud led the nation in passer efficiency rating. He threw for 3,340 yards, 37 touchdowns, and six interceptions but will be without receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and running back TreVeyon Henderson due to injuries. Even so, Marvin Harrison Jr. had 72 receptions for 1,157 yards and 12 touchdowns, and the Buckeyes have plenty of big-play ability. Ohio State is extraordinarily deep in talent on both sides of the ball, but especially on offense.

Ohio State is 14-3 ATS (82.4%) when not playing at home and coming off a home loss since 1990. The Ohio State Buckeyes have lost their last five games against the spread when facing ranked foes and as a DOG, though, and facing a ranked foe they are
13-11 straight-up (SU) and 17-7 ATS (71%) since 2010 and as a single-digit Dog they are 10-1 ATS (91%)

Buckeye head coach Day is 6-0 ATS after two or more consecutive losses to the spread and Bulldog HC Smart is 8-20 ATS following a game that his team covered the spread and was priced as double-digit favorites.

From the predictive model, we are expecting Ohio State to score 31 or more points and gain at least 6.5 yards per play OR gain at least 9 yards per pass attempt. In past games in which Ohio State met or exceeded these performance measures they have gone on to a 71-2 SU record and 56-16-1 ATS mark good for 78% winning bets over the past 15 seasons and 20-0 SU and 15-4 ATS for 79% winning bets. Exercise discipline first and foremost and bet on Ohio State.

Kansas vs Arkansas
Liberty Bowl - Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium - Memphis, TN

4% 8-Unit best bet on Arkansas and if this line moves to pick-em or less than a 2-point favorite consider the money line.

From the predictive model, Arkansas is expected to score at least 28 points and have the same or fewer turnovers. In past games in which Arkansas met or exceeded these measures has led to a 9-0 SU record and an 8-1 ATS mark over the past five seasons.

Georgia Southern vs Buffalo

4% 8-Unit best bet plus the points and sprinkle the money line with a .5 added bet

Betting on underdogs of six or fewer points playing on a neutral field after the week 4 that are coming off two consecutive losses to the spread and the most recent ATS was a game in which they were lined as double-digit favorites has earned an 11-9 record on the money line and a 14-6 ATS record good for 70% winning bets over the past 15 seasons. If a bowl game these dogs have gone 7-7 SU, 10-4 ATS for 71.4% winning bets. 

Georgia Southern is getting the large majority of the bets being made and presents a contrarian opportunity for us in this bowl game. Dogs of 3.5 to 0.5 points playing in bowl games getting less than 40% of the tickets bet on them have gone 109-687 ATS for 62% winning bets and a solid 22% ROI. I am going with Bowling Green in this one.

Air Force vs Baylor

4% 8-Unit best bet on Air Force plus the points

Betting on Armed Forces teams, Air Force, Army, and Nay, priced as underdogs of seven or fewer points OR favored and facing a foe that is averaging at least 24 or more PPG on the season in any bowl game has earned a 19-8 SU record and 20-7 ATS mark good for 74% winning bets over the past 25 bowl seasons and 11-3 ATS for 79% winning bets over the past 10 seasons.

This will be the first time since 1977 that these two football programs will compete on the gridiron. Air Force senior Brad Roberts led the Mountain West Conference in rush attempts (308) and rushing yards (1621) this season. Roberts is the program’s all-time leader in career rush attempts (671) and ranks third in career yards (3429) trailing only Dee Dowis (3612) and Asher Clark (3594). 

Five of Baylor's six losses this season came against AP-Top 25 ranked opponents. It is Baylor’s most losses to ranked teams in a single season since 2008 (6 losses). Air Force has a lot to play for after underperforming preseason expectations as the favorite to win the MWC starting with the fact that they have a shot at a 10-win season, which is an impressive accomplishment at a service academy. And it would be a nice footnote to the fact they've already claimed the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy after beating Army and Navy.

 Air Force is 19-10 SU and 19-9-1 ATS (68%) following a game in which they allowed 250 or fewer yard sand 14 or fewer points and 7-0 ATS if priced as a dog and 4-0 ATS if involving a bowl game venue. Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun has been at the head of the program since the start of the 2007 season and has played in 11 bowl games. When the total has been between 42.5 and 49 points, his Falcons are 24-10 SU and 25-9 ATS for 74% winning bets and 9-3 ATS when priced as a dog. 

Marshall vs UCONN
Myrtle Beach Bowl

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on UCONN plus the points

UConn (6-6 SU, 9-3 ATS, 4-7-1 O=U)) is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2015 under first-year coach Jim Mora Jr. Before losing their regular season finale to Army, the Huskies had a stretch of five wins in six games and covered the spread in all six, capped off by an upset victory over then-ranked No. 19 Liberty. 

Games playing on a neutral field that has a worse win percentage then the foe and are priced between a 10- and 14.5-point underdog are 19-11 ATS for 63% winning bets over the past five seasons. If the game occurs after Week 12 these double-digit dogs have earned a 14-7 ATS for 67% winning bets.

Notre Dame vs USC 

5% MAX 10-Unit Best bet on Southern Cal minus the points 

From the predictive model, we are expecting USC to score at least 31 points, gain at least 100+ more yards of total offense and have the same or fewer turnovers. USC is 48-0 SU and 42-6 ATS (88%) when meeting or exceeding these performance measures since 2006 and 10-0 SU and 9-1 ATS the past five seasons.  

Betting on home favorites between 4 and 10 points in weeks 10 on out and facing a foe that has gone Over the total by 49 or more points in their last five games has earned a 15-4 SU (79%) and 14-5 ATS mark good for 74% winning bets over the past 10 seasons. 

USC vs Arizona 

5% 10-UNIT NAX Best Bet on the USC Trojans minus the points 

USC has won nine straight meetings with Arizona, with the Wildcats' last win coming at home in 2012. The Trojans have won 15 of their 19 all-time visits to Tucson. Jordan Addison had seven catches for 106 yards and hauled in his seventh touchdown of the season, tied with Arizona's Jacob Cowing for the Pac-12 lead. Addison's next reception will mark the 200th of his college career. He is a transfer from Pittsburgh and currently ranks fifth among active FBS players with 199 career receptions and 2844 receiving yards, while his 28 career touchdowns rank second to UTSA's Zakhari Franklin, who has 29. 

The USC offense ranks ninth averaging 40.4 PPG and 8th with a 0.589 points-per-play ration in the nation. That explosive offense is going up against a defense in Arizona that ranks 123rd in the nation with a 0.554 points-per-play allowed and 124th allowing 37.7 PPG. The Wildcats have allowed 6.94 yards per play this season, third highest in the FBS behind Charlotte (7.36) and South Florida (7.00). Arizona has allowed 5.8 yards per rush this season, fourth most in the FBS, but held Washington to just 79 yards (2.7 yards per rush) in its last game. 

Betting on road favorites of 13 or more points that is facing a foe that is allowing 31 o more PPG and with that opponent coming off two consecutive games in which 60 or more points in total were scored has earned an outstanding 106-57-1 SYS record good for 65% winning bets over the past 20 seasons. Plus, if being played from Week 9 on out and against a conference foe has improved the results to a 73-6 SU record and 55-24 ASTS for 70% winning bets.

The last matchup that was played in Ames resulted in a 45-0 victory for the Cyclones. The Wildcats (4-1, 2-0 Big 12) have lost two straight games to the Cyclones (3-2, 0-2) and have fallen in their last two trips to Ames.

Betting on teams that are facing an opponent coming off a horrid loss priced as a 20 or greater favorite has produced a 97-201 SU record, 113-83-3 ATS record good for 58% winning bets since 1989. If these failures were ranked against an unranked team in that terrible loss, the next opponent playing them has earned a 19-30 SU record, but a solid 31-17-1 SATS mark good for 65% winning bets. If our team we are betting on is the dog, they go just 9-26 SU, but 23-11-1 ATS for 68% winning bets. If that opponent was ranked while enduing their most recent monster loss and now fell out of the Top-25 now, their opponents feast on the in a big way going 11-13 SU and 17-7-1 ATS for 71% winning bets.

Wisconsin vs Northwestern

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on Wisconsin minus the points

3:30 start time

Wisconsin is 20-5 ATS for 80% following a game in which they were outrushed by 125 or more yards. NWU is just 1-9 ASTS following a game that played UNDER the total. Wisconsin is 10-2 ATS after allowing 31 or more points in each of their last two games. 

NWU head coach Fitzgerald is 0-6 ATS following a game in which they covered the spread but did not win the game. He is also 8-18 SATS following a game in which they forced three or more turnovers. 

Betting on favorites between 10.5 and 21 points that are on a two or more game losing streak and have a win percentage between 40% and 50% on the season (Wisconsin is 2-3 for 40% win percentage) have gone 47-3 SU and 37-13 ATS for 74% winning bets since 2010.

TCU vs Kansas

4% best bet on TCU minus the points

Noon EDT kickoff

Despite the line movement there is still quite a bit of value left to bet TCU minus the points. Kansas has attracted tons of public money given their Cinderella start and College Game Day is making their first appearance to Lawrence, Kansas. The sharps are betting TCU.

Teams involved in a matchup of teams with win percentages of 80% and higher and facing an opponent that has covered the spread by a total of 49 or more points over their last five games have gone 46-23-3 ATS for 67% winning bets since 2015. 

Oklahoma vs Kansas State 

5% 10-Unit best Bet on the Kansas State plus the points and sprinkle a bit more on the moneyline. There will be at least three more College Football releases for the Saturday card, so be sure to check back early Saturday morning by 7 AM EST for those additional best bets. 

A little history and background. Sooner head coach Brent Venables was a walk-on linebacker for Kansas State in the early 1990s and carved out a role with the Wildcats, then began his coaching career there before joining Bob Stoops' Oklahoma staff after the 1998 season. Venables has coached against his alma mater multiple times, but Saturday's game will be his first against Kansas State as head coach. 

Wildcats quarterback Adrian Martinez also has had strong success against the Sooners. Martinez was Nebraska's quarterback last season in a 23-16 loss at Oklahoma, throwing for 289 yards and a touchdown with one interception and ran for 34 yards and another score. Oklahoma snapped a two-game losing streak against Kansas State with a 37-31 win in last year's tilt between these teams in Manhattan. Four of the last five games between these teams have been decided by seven points or fewer.

K-State is 28-13 ATS coming off a game in which they scored 14 or fewer points. Sooners are 7-19 ATS in home games allowing 14 or fewer points in back-to-back games. 

From the predictive model, we are looking for K-State to rush the ball for at least 150 yards and score 27 or more points. When they have done so in past games, they have gone on to a 19-1 SU record and 15-4-1 ATS record good for 79% winning bets. 

Florida vs Tennessee 3:30 PM EST

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on the Florida plus the points and sprinkle the moneyline

My research simply states that this is just too many points in this rivalry dominated by Florida. Vols head coach Heupel is 3-13 ATS after gaining 7.25 or more yards-per-playing his previous game. 

From the predictive model, we are looking for Florida to rush the ball for at least 150 yards and score 31 or more points. When they have done so in past games, they have gone on to a 76-1 SU record and 59-15-1 ATS record good for 80% winning bets over the past 15 seasons and 22-0 SU and 15-6-1 ATS for 72% winning bets over the past five seasons.

Houston vs Texas Tech 

4% best bet 8-Units on Texas Tech minus the points 

We had UTSA, who led for the majority of the game last week against Houston and only overtime saved Houston from an upset loss in week 1. Now, they step up in competition on the road against a solid Big-12 foe in Texas Tech. Ranked teams off an ATS loss and installed as a dog of 4 or more points in a game with a total of 60 or more points (expected shootout) are just 5-23 SU and 8-17-2 ATS for 35% and if on the road are an imperfect 0-12 SU and 2-9-1 ATS for 18% over the last 10 seasons.  

North Carolina vs Georgia State 

4% best bet on UNC minus the points 

UNC head coach Brown is 8-0 ATS after playing a non-conference game, 13-3-1 ATS in road games after playing two non-conference games, and 38-20-2 ATS following a game in which his defense forced no more than one turnover for his coaching career. 

From the predictive model, UNC is 36-5 SU and 31-10 ATS for 76% winning bets when gaining at least 200 rushing yards and scoring at least 28 points.  

Clemson vs Georgia Tech 

4% best bet on Georgia Tech plus the points 

There has been an overwhelming amount of public betting going in favor of Clemson and forcing the line to move 5-points higher to +24 then where it opened at 19 points. 78% of the tickets bet are on the Tigers and this is the ‘red flag’ area that is one tool of mine that supports GT in this matchup tonight. 

Heisman Trophy winner and former FSU quarterback Chris Weinke is the GT quarterbacks coach, and he has worked with current QB Jeff Sims extensively during the offseason and preseason training camps. The GT offense will be going up against one of the best defensive lines in College Football, but Sims has the mobility to allude the pass rush and extend plays. He has a great arm that needed experience when to not throw into tight spots and I do look forward to him taking a big step forward this season. He is a dual threat QB that will minimize the Tigers defensive front four attack knowing that containment is preferred as opposed to getting sacks.  

Clemson is 0-8 ATS when the total has been between 49.5 and 56 points in games played over the last three seasons.  

Florida State vs LSU 

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on the Florida State Seminoles plus the points and a little extra sprinkle on the money line. 

FSU is 59-34 ATS following a game in which they outgained them by at least 250 yards.  

From the predictive models we are expecting FSU to score at least 27 points and gain 375 or more total yards. In past games spanning the last 5 season, FSU is 6-1 ATS for 86% winning bets when meeting or exceeding these performance measures. LSU is as a favorite and allowing 375 or more total yards and allowing at least 27 points is just 5-7 SU and 3-9 ATS for 25% winning bets  

Betting on underdogs of +150 to +300 on the moneyline in the first two weeks of the season and was a struggling passing team completing 58% or fewer of their pass attempts in the previous season and has eight or more returning starters including their quarterback has earned a highly profitable 30-24 record averaging a +210 moneyline bet good for a 111% ROI over the last 10 seasons. 

Kent State vs Washington 10:30 EDT 

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on Kent State plus the points 

Betting against favorites that have a new head coach in game one of the regular season that are coming off a season winning four or fewer games and facing a foe that won at least 4 games in their previous season has earned a 26-16 ATS record good for 62% winning bets over the last 15 seasons.  

Washington is 3-11 ATS in games played on turf.  

Betting on road dogs in the first four games of the season, was a bowl team from the previous season and lost their season finale and the bowl games and starting a new quarterback and has five or fewer returning starters on offense has produced an exceptional 37-13-2 ATS record good for 74% winning bets over the last 30 seasons and is 8-4 ATS for 67% over the last five seasons.  

UTSA vs Houston 5:30 EDT 

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on UTSA plus the points and a sprinkle on the moneyline.  

Betting on road underdogs that have nine returning offensive players including their quarterback from the previous season and with the game occurring within the first four games on their schedule has produced an exceptional 65-85 losing record BUT has averaged a +260 wager on the moneyline making $7,700 per $100 bet overt the past 10 season of action.  

Betting on road underdogs that were struggling passing teams completing 58% or fewer of their attempts in the previous seasons and has nine or more starters returning on offense has produced a 22-20 record for 53% winners averaging a whopping +320 underdog bet on the moneyline.  

The betting community is betting Houston with irrational exuberance with 77% of the bets made on Houston and 80% of the money on Houston. This is a red flag to bet Houston and is a contrarian indicator that supports our bet on UTSA.  

Penn State vs Purdue  

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on the Penn State Nittany Lions minus the points. 

Penn State's defense lost its top two tacklers from last season but will rely on returning linebacker Curtis Jacobs to help generate pressure against O'Connell and the Purdue offense. With a freshman right guard on the Purdue O-Line, you will see the Lions defense look to bring pressure from that side when Purdue is on their left side hashmark on the field. 

The Lions and Boilermakers are meeting for the first time since 2019 and the third time since 2013. This marks the seventh straight season in which the Lions has started conference play on the road. The Nittany Lions have dominated the Boilermakers in the schools' abridged history, going 15-3-1, including winning the past eight. The Lions are 12-6 ATS for 67% winning bets and 6-2 ATS for 75% over the last eight meetings. 

From my predictive models the lions are expected to score at least 27 points and gain over 100 rushing yards. In past games spanning the last 15 seasons in which they met or exceeded these performance measures they have produced a 59-24 ATS record good for 71% winning bets. When priced as an away favorite, an even better 17-4 ATS for 81% and covering the spread by an average of 15 points.  

Ball State vs Tennessee 

4% 8-Unit Best Bet on the Tennessee Volunteers laying the 35+ points 

I must admit, I cannot remember the last time, my predictive models targeted a massive favorite of more than 28+ points, but rest assured the reasons we are on Tennessee could match the volume of the great novel the Count of Monte Crisco. The Vols lost starting receivers Velus Jones Jr. and JaVonta Payton but return leading pass catcher Cedric Tillman (64 catches, 1,081 yards, 12 TDs) to an offense that ranked second in scoring in the Southeastern Conference to Alabama with an average of 39.3 points per game. Plus, they have recently added former five-star wide receiver recruit in former USC Trojan Bru McCoy. The NCAA cleared him for immediate eligibility just last week and he adds superior depth to what is expected to be an extremely strong offense in Knoxville this season. 

From the predictive models, the Vols are expected to score at least 40 points and are 99-3 SU and 86-15-1 ATS for 85% winning bets since 1989 when they have scored 40+ points. They are 34-0 SU and 25-9 ATS for 74% winning bets in home games priced as a 24.5 or more-point favorite and scoring 40+ points wince 1989 and are 9-0 SU and 7-2 SATS for 78% winners since 2014 season. 

The College Football Championship 2021 
8 PM EST, January 10, 2022 

5% Best Bet on Georgia minus the points over Alabama 
3% Best Bet OVER the total 
1% Bet OVER Georgia Sacks of the Alabama quarterback 
0.5% Georgia –10.5 and OVER 50.5 points +725 at BetMGM 

The Georgia defense ranks among the all-time best units in over two decades. Yes, they allowed 41 points in the SEC Championship loss to Alabama, but they still managed to post a 26.9 yards per point allowed ratio for the season. Only seven teams in the past 20 seasons have ever finished a season at 25 or higher and prior to the Tide loss sat at 32 yards per point. By comparison, there were three other teams at 20 or higher and they were Clemson (20.6), Texas A&M (20.5), and Penn State (20.5). The difference between Georgia’s 26.7 YPPT ratio and the next three-best teams is monumental and cannot be underestimated.  

What is underestimated is the fact that Georgia, despite their plodding, sometimes boring, offensive schemes evolved into one of the most efficient units in the nation. They rank 5th in the nation of 130 teams with a 11.4 yards per point offensive ratio. The differential between Georgia’s offensive and defensive yards per point ratio is the widest by any team since at least 1980 and one of the dominant reasons I see Georgia winning this game and potentially by double digits. 

Bet OVER Georgia SACKS of the Alabama quarterback 

Here is a great betting system sporting a 48-21-2 ATS record for 70% winning bets over the last five seasons, 27-10-3 ATS for 73% winning bets over the past three seasons and is 11-2 ATS for 85% winning bets over the past season. Bet on any team from Week 8 on out including bowl games and the CFP that is averaging 200 to 249.9 rushing yards per game, allowed fewer than 100 rushing yards in their previous game, and facing an opponent that averages 150 to 200 rushing yards per game on the season.  

OVER is well supporting by the fact that Alabama is 11-1 OVER following a game in which they allowed three or fewer points spanning the last three seasons and 9-1 OVER following a game in which they allowed nine or fewer points.  

From my predictive models Georgia is 8-4 ATS this season, 15-8 ATS the past three seasons and 137-63 ATS since 2000 when they scored 28 or more points. The OVER is 114-50 since 2000 in games that Georgia scored 28 or more points. Alabama is 1-3 ATS this season, 1-6 ATS the past three seasons, and 12-27 ATS the past 20 seasons when they have allowed 9 or more yards per pass attempt and the OVER in these games has gone 4-0 this season and 7-0 the past three seasons.  

LSU vs Kansas State 
4% (4-UNIT) best bet on Kansas State minus the points 

I do not see how in the world the Tigers will be able to be competitive after all of the players that have entered the transfer portal.  

The Tigers (6-6) have an interim head coach, offensive line coach Brad Davis, and they're still not sure who will play quarterback against the Wildcats (7-5) in the final bowl game of this season. After Tuesday, only the CFP National Championship Game remains. Starting quarterback Max Johnson has transferred to Texas A&M, and LSU has yet to reveal the NCAA's ruling on the team's appeal for freshman Garrett Nussmeier to not lose his redshirt season if he plays in the bowl game. LSU also will be without two of its top defensive players, who opted out to focus on the NFL draft in linebacker Damone Clark and defensive lineman Neil Farrell Jr. 

From my predictive models that account for all the missing players on the LSU roster, there is a high probability that K-State will score at least 28 points in this game. In past games in which K-State scored at least 28 points they are 5-1 ATS this season, 15-3 ATS the past three seasons, and 142-60 ATS over the past 25 seasons.  

Baylor vs Mississippi 
8:45 EST, January 1 

4% best bet on Mississippi  
4% Best Bet UNDER  
After leading the Rebels to a 10-2 record following a season-ending 31-21 Egg Bowl win over Mississippi State, Corral and the No. 8 Rebels will face No. 7 Baylor in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's night. One of only four FBS quarterbacks with 20 passing touchdowns and at least 10 rushing scores (he has 11 on the season), the Ventura, California, native finished seventh in Heisman Trophy voting.  

Betting the UNDER in a game with both teams playing well and having won four of more of their last five games and taking on a foe that has won at least 8 of their last 10 games and a total ranging from 52 to 60 points has earned a solid 124-88 record for 59% winning bets over the last 15 seasons and 32-18 UNDER for 64% winners over the last three seasons. If the game is a Bowl Game or CFP, the UNDER has earned a 47-22 UNDER record good for 68% winners since 2006 and 12-5 UNDER for 71% winning bets over the last three seasons.  

Lane Kiffin is a perfect 7-0 UNDER following five consecutive games in which his team did not commit more than one turnover. He is also Kiffin is 17-6 ATS off a road win against a conference rival in all games he has coached.  

Utah vs Ohio State 

4% (4-UNIT Best bet) on Ohio State minus the points 

So, four important players are OUT for OSU with WR Garrett Wilson, WR Chris Olave, DT Haskell Garrett, and T Nicholas Petit-Frer being the names. Now, on most any other team not named Alabama; this would be a major loss of talent few teams could overcome. Well, Ohio State’s second unit of players would be a ranked team in my opinion, and you will see these replacements for this foursome of NFL-bound starters showcase their skills on a national stage. This game has also a showcase from head coach Brian Day’s offseason recruiting efforts too, so do not think for a second that they will just go through the motions.  

Starting at WR will be freshman Marvin Harrison, Jr. Harrison hails from Philadelphia and played for St. Joseph's Prep and who was the No. 1 ranked WR prospect out of Pennsylvania and graded as a 4-star prospect and ranked 91st in the nation. His father, Marvin Harrison Sr. was an eight-time NFL All-Pro selection who spent his entire 13-year career with the Indianapolis Colts.  

TreVeyon Henderson hails from Hopewell, Virginia and played for the Hopewell High School. Set Ohio State’s freshman rushing record with a 270-yard performance versus Tulsa, breaking a 49-year record held by Archie Griffin, is just the fourth true freshman RB in school history to surpass 1,000 rushing yards, was a Semifinalist for Walter Camp Player of the Year, scored 17 total touchdowns through 10 games to rank tied for fourth nationally, was one of 10 semifinalists (and the only freshman) for the Doak Walker Award, which is presented annually to college football’s best running back. Need more convincing about the OSU depth at the skill positions? I didn’t think so.  

Henderson’s backup is a tremendous running back in his own right. Miyan Williams is 5-8 and 225 pounds of steel-like muscle and is extraordinarily quick and elusive and extremely hard to bring down. I expect him to see a lot more action in this game and he and the OSU offensive line will pound the Utah defense into submission by the second half.  

From my predictive models, OSU is expected to score 27 or more points and force Utah into two or more turnovers. In past games in which OSU met or exceeded these performance measures, OSU has earned an outstanding 99-1 SU record and went 75-24-1 ATS for 76% winning bets over the last 15 seasons; 19-0 SU, 15-4 ATS for 79% winning bets over the past three seasons.  

ASU vs Wisconsin 
5-UNIT Best Bet on ASU plus the points 

My predictive model shows a high probability that ASU will score at least 21 points in this game. Wisconsin is 0-2 ATS this season, 1-8 ATS the past three seasons, and 20-44 ATS over the last 15 seasons in games in which they allowed 21 or more points.  

Here is one of the best money line betting systems you will ever see and has earned a 22-12 record for 65% winners over the last 10 seasons. The magic is that the system has averaged a +150-underdog wager and subsequently making the Dime Bettor $41,000 in profits on just 34 bets for a monster 150% ROI. Bet on neutral field favorites using the money line in non-conference games that have won two of their last three games and with both teams from the Power-5 conferences.  

Purdue vs Tennessee 
One of the largest line moves I have seen for any Bowl Game. Purdue opened as a 3-point favorite and now Tennessee has rolled to be priced as a 7.5-point favorite and I do sincerely believe we are getting a gift opportunity to be Purdue and take the 7.5-points. This will be a pseudo home game for the Volunteers but not worth more than 10-points. 

Tennessee is 7-5 and scored 38 or more points in each of their seven wins, won three of their last four games with the only loss to then-No.1 Georgia and did score 45 or more points in their last six wins. However, Purdue has a defense that shut down some of the best offenses in the Big Ten and they were undoubtedly the giant slayer in Big Ten action. 

Purdue’s defense is led by linebacker Jeremy Banks, who takes great angles to tackle ball carriers and is just never out of position. He led Purdue by a huge margin recording 108 tackles including 4.5 sacks. Defensive back Alontae Taylor had been recovering from a significant foot injury and opted out for this bowl game considering the NFL draft. Even with the NFL draft, I highly doubt he would have been anywhere close to full strength for this game. 

The Boilermakers also have WR and first-team All-American David Bell, who caught 93 balls for 1,286 receiving yards, which was only 21 yards short of the program record held by John Standeford back in the 2002 season.  

My predictive models show that Purdue will score at least 27 points and have more than 150 passing yards than Tennessee will generate. In past games, in which Purdue met or exceeded these measures they have earned an outstanding 9-2 ATS for 82% winners over the last five seasons.  

Oregon vs Oklahoma 
Alamo Bowl 
9:15 EST, December 29, 2021 
4-UNIT Best Bet on the Sooners 
4-UNIT TOTAL OVER 

Betting the OVER in games with a total between 56.5 and 63 points from Week 8 on out to the end of the Bowl season and CFP games, in a matchup of teams that are both allowing 21 to 27.5 yards per game has earned a remarkable 29-8-2 OVER record for 78% winning bets over the last 10 seasons.  

My predictive models expect the Sooners to win this game by double-digits. They also project that the Sooners will score 31 or more points and gain at least 6.5 yards per play. In previous games in which the Sooners met or exceeded these performance measures they went on to earn a 79-31-1 ATS record for 72% winning bets over the last 15 seasons and 3-0 ATS in Bowl Games. 

UCF vs Florida 

4% (4-UNIT) Best Bet on Florida minus the points 

Let’s get right to it. Betting on any team, like Florida, that has been beaten by the spread by 49 or more points over their last five games and the game taking pace in December has earned a highly profitable 56-21-1 ATS record good for 74% winning bets over the last 25 seasons and is 14-4 ATS and 78% winning bets over the last five seasons.  

My predictive models project that Florida will score at least 31 points and will gain an average of 6.5 or more yards per play. In past games in which they met or exceeded these performance measures they have gone to earn a 20-3 SU record and 16-5-2 ATS for 76% winning bets over the last 10 seasons. 

Middle Tennessee State vs Toledo

Noon EST, December 16, 2021

4-Unit Best Bet on Middle Tennessee State plus the points

MTST has had immense difficulty retaining quarterbacks this season losing two that left the team and another, whose season ended due to a leg injury. They had to turn to true-freshman Nicholas Vattiato, who is from Plantation, Florida. He is an excellent quarterback and making the most of his opportunity to step in and run the offense. Played in five games and had four starts

He Ended the regular season by completing 92 of 136 passes (67.6%) for 777 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for 18 yards

He was in on 256 total snaps and graded out a winner three times and voted to the C-USA All-Freshman Team. Completed 20 of 24 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns in win over FIU to earn the team’s offensive player of the game award. Set an MTST true freshman record in completions (34), attempts (49) and passing yards (304) against Old Dominion.

Toledo head coach Candle is just 3-12 ATS for 20% when coming off a home win over a conference rival. Toledo is 9-22 ATS in road games after 3 or more consecutive straight up wins.  

Bet MTST plus the points and sprinkle a 0.5 unit on the money line as well.

Tulane vs Memphis

7:30 PM EST, November 27, 2021

5-UNIT Best Bet on Tulane plus the [points and sprinkle 0.75 UNITS on the money line

I will get right to it and start with this terrific money line betting angle that has systematically earned a 38-28 record for 58% winning bets and by averaging a whopping +200 underdog bet, the Dime Bettor has made a $47,000 profit over the last 25 seasons and earned $24,000 on a 32-35 losing record. This is the strength and value of identifying underdogs in college football that can win the game too.

From my predictive models I expect Tulane to gain a minimum of 5.0 YPPL and score 28 or more points. In past games in which they met or exceeded these measures they have gone on to a 46-15 SU record and a 50-10 ATS mark for 83.3% winners since 2013.

Bet Tulane as a 5% Best Bet

Penn State vs Michigan State

3:30 PM EST, November 26, 2021

4% Best bet on Penn State minus the points

When conference foes look to upset an alite power house program like Ohio State and fail miserably the hangover can be massive and in some games season-low performances have happened. Home dogs that played Ohio State in their previous game have gone 32-45-3 ATS for 42% wins. If our home dog lost to Ohio State in the previous game our home pup is a money-burning 12-45-3 ATS for 21% wins OR playing against these emotionally wounded home dogs have hit 79% winning bets since 1980. Over the last 10 season, these dogs are 2-14-1 ATS for just 12.5% wins and 0-11 ATS if also off an ATS double-digit loss.

UTSA vs North Texas

2:00 PM EST, November 27, 2021

4-Unit Best bet on North Texas

North Texas is 16-5 ATS off three straight wins against conference rivals. Both of these teams are running hot and it would be a shame to see UTSA’s perfect season go to the trash bin. I think they will get the win in possibly a last minute game winning score, but will not win the game by double digits.

Betting on teams that are on a three or more-game win streak and are facing a team that is on a five or more game win streak has earned a 140-116-10 ATS for 5% winning bets over the last 10 seasons. If our team is hosting the game, they improve to 58-39-3 for 60% winners. If our host is the dog they have earned a 25-16 record for 61% ATS winners and if our homer is a double-digit underdog they have gone 8-3 ATS for 73% winners.

Maryland vs Rutgers

Noon EST, November 27, 2021

4% Best Bet on Maryland

Maryland and Rutgers need a win to become bowl eligible. So, how do 5 win teams in the final game of the regular season perform ? Road teams sporting 5-6 records and coming off a loss are 39-21-4 ATS for 65% winning bets over the last 10 seasons. 5-6 record hosts that are coming off a loss are a money-burning 29-34-1 for 46% ATS last10 seasons. Both Rutgers and Maryland qualify as must-win to be bowl eligible teams.

Rutgers is 1-7 ATS for 12% wins when the current game is at home in games spanning the last 10 seasons; 3-15 ATS in home games after scoring 6 or fewer points in the previous game; 13-30 ATS in home games after having lost 2 out of their last 3 games. Maryland is a money-making 39-20 ATS (+17.0 Units) off a blowout loss by 21 points or more to a conference rival.

Georgia vs Georgia Tech

Noon ET, November 27, 2021

4-Unit Best Bet on Georgia First half line minus the points

I do not remember the last time I wagered on a favorite of more than -31 points, but trust me it is rare and there are strong reasons I am betting on the Georgia Bulldogs. However, we are looking at the first half line here because of the risk that Georgia gets out to a huge lead and then looks to get their starters out of the game knowing the SEC Championship game is on deck.

Betting on the first half line with favorites of 17.5 or more points competing against a foe that scored fewer than 10 points has earned a sensational 35-11 ATS record using the first half line in games played over the last 10 seasons. With a current first half line of 20.5 points this is a great opportunity with a team that is historically one of the best over the last 2 decades at least.

Georgia’s defense has attained an incredible 31.4 defensive yards-per-point measure. That means that opponents have had to gain 31 yards to get a single point on the scoreboard. The second-best defensive unit in the nation is Penn State and they are light years behind Georgia sporting a 21.5 YPPT measure.
