CFB 75 DIME GAME 70.5 UNDER This is where the Oregon State offense really starts to look the part. The defense will have its issues at times slowing down the Nevada passing attack, but the ground game will do whatever is needed to answer every good Wolf Pack drive. This won’t be a walk in the park, but even on the road, the Beavers will have control of the game in the third quarter. Oregon St 38 Nevada 21 |

CFB 75 DIME GAME 53 UNDER The Bobcats are routinely one of the better teams in the MAC, and despite a shaky opening performance, they had a week off to prepare for the showdown with Virginia this Saturday. If Ohio gets the 2017 version of Nathan Rourke, this will be a highly competitive battle between two excellent dual-threat quarterbacks. On the flipside, if the Bobcats are forced to utilize two QBs, or failed to fix the defensive issues that plagued them in Week 1, it could be a long day trying to contain this explosive Virginia offense. The Cavs squeak out a narrow victory in the end. Prediction: Virginia 24, Ohio 21 |

Moreover, the Monarchs’ current backfield is already banged up (starter Kesean Strong is out with a hamstring injury and backup Jeremy Cox is dealing with an ankle injury). ODU is averaging 111 rushing yards game and 3.4 per carry–and that’s against Liberty, which gave up 449 yards to Army this past Saturday, and FIU (surrendered 213 to Indiana in week one). As for the defenses, Charlotte has been more impressive than ODU so far Charlotte 17 Old Dominion 13 |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME GOY BYU MONEY LINE -150 The Cal offense struggled last week against North Carolina. Lot of confusion on the field since this team went through 3 quarterbacks. Now Cal is on the road against this BYU team that is well Balanced. BYU defense is tough, and i see Cal having issues running the ball. The Value in this game is the BYU offense. Tanner Magnum is a great QB, and knows how to hit his targets. BYU is 5-0 ATS against Non Confrence Teams and 4-1 ATS when playing PAC 12 Teams BYU wins 28-17. |

Getting through the Iowa St. Line backers will be the key for Iowa, since going long on the passing could be a challenge due to Iowa St strong cornerbacks. Iowa St is 11-2 ATS, and i like this game to be a shoot out since its a rival. Last year Iowa won 44-41 in over time. The Bookmakers have this game wrong, and I like the total at 58 points or more. Lay the money on the over here. |

With the game at 11AM Central time, the Blue Devils will be put back on their heels in the early going, but recover strong down the stretch.

CFB 100 DIME GAME MISSISSIPPI ST. -6.5 This one is a real sticky wicket. As stated above, if you simply look at the results of the first weekend, you would have to make the Bulldogs a heavy favorite. But you never know when a Bill Snyder team is just playing possum after the week one struggle. Was this a case of their getting caught looking ahead to this game? If you’re a Wildcat fan, you hope so. One thing is for sure, any kind of repeat of last week’s 13-penalty, four-turnover effort and KSU will get taken to the woodshed quickly. It will be a wild environment in the Little Apple but don’t look for the Bulldogs to crumble. This is an uber-experienced team that returned 93 percent of its offense from a year ago and also 77 percent of its tackles on defense. Though he may have to knock off some rust early on, Nick Fitzgerald’s return will be a shot of confidence for Mississippi State. But one thing to keep in mind, Kansas State QB Skylar Thompson was the field general for three come-from-behind victories last year and pulled the trick again vs. South Dakota last week. So don’t leave the game early 'Cat fans. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME CAL There's no question Cal enters this game in better shape. The Bears showed signs of improvement in Justin Wilcox's first season as head coach and appear well positioned to take another step forward in 2018. Ross Bowers is the Pac-12's leading returning passer (253.3 ypg) and he should pair with running back Patrick Laird to form a productive, it not potent, offensive tandem. North Carolina is looking to erase the bad taste of 2017 from its mouth, but Larry Fedora is already having to deal with 13 different players who have been suspended for varying lengths. The Tar Heels are inexperienced on offense and their issues stopping the run on defense have been well documented. Cal will have to account for wide receiver/return specialist Anthony Ratliff-Williams but otherwise the Bears appear to be the better team on paper. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME WYOMING +3.5 This is a team built around playing stout defense and running the football and this Cowboys defensive line has a chance to be special. They racked up three sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss against New Mexico and should get plenty more opportunities to make plays. While the Cougars have more proven players at the skilled positions on offense, this game has all the makings of a gritty, defensive struggle. Washington State is 1-5 in season openers under Mike Leach and this game is no cakewalk. With a game already under their belts, I’m going to roll with Wyoming at home in this spot over a power conference school. |

There might be a whole lot of excitement around the Pruitt era, and there’s a lot of talent there to push for a big year, but Grier and the West Virginia offense will be way too good. It’ll be an inspired defensive effort by the Vol D, but the O won’t take advantage of the opportunities to take over the game. West Virginia won’t dominant, but it’ll be a great moment for the program to show off the possibilities for the 2018 season. It’s a game the Mountaineers need to have, and they’ll get it. |

They had a combined 122 points in the last two games against Nebraska and Maryland. Running back Saquon Barkley ended the regular season with 1,134 rushing yards and 16 TDs on 199 attempts.

They now will transition to Fisher next season, leaving Banks in the unenviable situation of knowing he won’t be the head coach after this game concludes. Wake Forest is a veteran team with a lot of returning players from last season. The Demon Deacons have a good offense and for the first six or seven weeks of the year was a top 20 scoring defense. With all the inconsistency the Aggies have, you have to give the edge to Wake Forest, especially playing close to home. Wake Forest 31-23 and 34-30. Take the money line here. |

12-28-17 | Virginia Tech v. Oklahoma State -4 | Top | 21-30 | Win | 100 | 66 h 42 m | Show |
COLLEGE BOOK BOOKIE KILLER GOY OKLAHOMA ST -4 This looks like it could be a very difficult game for Virginia Tech. Quarterback Josh Jackson did not have a great second half of the season throwing the ball and now his main target will be in street clothes. It would be nice to rely on the running game, but the Hokies have had an inconsistent ground attack this season and the strength of the Oklahoma State defense is stopping the run. The Cowboys are terrible at defending the pass, but Tech doesn’t have the weapons to effectively exploit this weakness. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State is going to score. Mason Rudolph, James Washington and Marcell Ateman are all playing their final collegiate game and will be motivated to go out in a big way. The Virginia Tech defense is very good, but has not faced a passing game as dynamic and explosive as Oklahoma State’s. The closest comparison would be West Virginia in the season opener when Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier threw for 371 yards in the 31-24 loss. The Cowboys won’t get to 40 points on the Hokies’ defense. But they will get a lot closer to that number than Virginia Tech will. OKLAHOMA ST 31-17 |

12-27-17 | Missouri -2.5 v. Texas | Top | 16-33 | Loss | -110 | 46 h 34 m | Show |
COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME MEGA MOVE MISSOURI -2.5 I don’t like Texas in this game for two reasons. One, the defense is facing an offense that loves to go vertical as much as, say, Oklahoma State. Not only has Texas had issues defending the deep ball late in the year, three key pieces from the defense that stymied the Cowboys won’t be on the field (DeShon Elliott, Holton Hill and Malik Jefferson). Two, the offense is going to have a tough time following the blueprint to win the game by running the ball consistently and controlling the clock to protect the defense and keep Drew Lock and Co. off the field. Missouri, statistically anyway, is a similar defense to Texas Tech in that you can run on them but it’s going to take some time. The Longhorns will have to chip away and eventually the dam will break. But Missouri has better personnel than Texas Tech and considering the absences on the Texas side of the field, Terry Beckner Jr.might be the best NFL prospect on the field. I’m a firm believer in Tom Herman and his ability to have a team ready to play, so I won’t be the least bit surprised if this game is tight late and the Longhorns have a chance to win. But Texas is starting this race with less than a full tank, and I don’t see the Longhorns being able to have enough left to finish the job. Missouri 34, Texas 27 |

12-27-17 | Purdue v. Arizona -3 | Top | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 54 m | Show |
COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA -3 Arizona has been a fairly wild team this season. On offense, they average 495 yards and 41.8 points per game. On defense, they allow 467 yards as an average. They’ve had to score a ton in order to get these victories, and that’s started to turn on them in the last month. In the opposite spectrum of their bowl opponent, they lost three of their last four games and gave up 42 points or more in all of those defeats. The lone win was over a very bad team in Oregon State. While the team may not be that great, they’re unquestionably fun to watch, especially quarterback Khalil Tate. He’s listed as probable despite nursing a shoulder injury, and he’s the obvious make-or-break player for the team. In the air, he’s posted an adequate 1,289 passing yards and a ratio of nine touchdowns to eight picks. On the ground, he adds another 1,353 yards and 12 more scores. He averages more yards on the ground per play than in the air. The key in this game is the offense. Purdue doesn't have much to offer. They are just 1-5 ATS. I have Arizona winning 34-23. |

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GOLD GOY IOWA -2.5 Iowa’s run defense is good enough to battle the Eagles for four quarters. But Iowa can win with its pass rush and pass defense. The Eagles rank 114th in passing with 162.8 yards per game. Starting quarterback Anthony Brown missed the last two games and won’t play in this one, either. Senior Darius Wade will start the Pinstripe Bowl and he has performed admirably in Brown’s absence. This year, Wade has completed 46 of 75 passes for 528 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Sophomore defensive end Anthony Nelson has paced the Hawkeyes’ pass rush with 6 sacks this season. Senior linebacker Josey Jewell and freshman defensive end A.J. Epenesa chipped in with 4.5 sacks each. The Hawkeyes’ pass rush has helped the secondary flourish with 19 interceptions, tied for second-most nationally. Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson has 25 passes defensed with 7 interceptions and was named a unanimous first-team All-American. Iowa wins 24-16. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL 100 DIME GAME APPALACHIAN ST+7 Appalachian State is a team capable of putting points on the board in a hurry, averaging 33.4 points per game this season. QB Taylor Lamb led the way with 2,606 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, but the Mountaineers also have running back Jalin Moore. Moore is 88 yards away from reaching 1,000 on the season. Defensively, the Mountaineers are led by LB Eric Boggs (97 tackles, 4 sacks) and DL Tee Sims (9.5 sacks). When Toledo lost to Ohio 38-10 on a Wednesday night in early November, I feared the loss would cost the Rockets a conference title they've been chasing since 2004. Thankfully, they won their final two games of the regular season to clinch the division and then took care of Akron in the MAC Championship. Now they head to Mobile looking for revenge against an Appalachian State team that beat them in the Camellia Bowl last season. Toledo enters the contest with one of the most potent offenses in the country, finishing 11th nationally with 39.2 points per game. This game will be close, but I have Appalachian St by 4 points. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME BOWL GAME JAMES MADISON James Madison has won 25 straight games under second-year head coach Mike Houston for the second-longest streak in FCS history behind North Dakota State’s 33 in a row from 2012-14. While the Dukes showed vulnerability in the quarterfinals, they’re at home, they’ve been more consistent than South Dakota State and their defense has been extraordinary almost all season. Head coach John Stiegelmeier and the Jackrabbits have to take the game to the Dukes the way they did in beating North Dakota State, 33-21, earlier this season. SDSU's passing attack just might keep the Dukes’ superb secondary on its heels. During a seven-game winning streak, the Jackrabbit have scored on 30 of 31 possessions that have reached their opponent’s red zone, although it’s an area James Madison has defended well this year. Prediction: James Madison 27, South Dakota State 21 |

CFB 100 DIME INSIDE MOVE GOY OHIO ST -6 Ohio State was on early upset alert after falling down 14-0 at Michigan last Saturday, but the Buckeyes eventually pulled away with a 31-20 victory. J.T. Barrett was sidelined with a knee injury late in that game but is expected to play this week against the Badgers. The Buckeyes are just 1-4 ATS over their last five games since going 3-0 ATS in their previous three. Saturday night's total is set at 51.5 points. The OVER is 8-1 in Ohio State's last nine games. The Buckeyes haven't lost a game to Wisconsin since 2010. The Badgers enter this game in much better form, but the Buckeyes may have the mental edge given the recent history between these two teams and Ohio State's experience playing in big games. The key in this game is the Ohio St offense. I have Ohio St winning 34-17. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GOY AUBURN +5 Neither offense will do much of anything, both defenses will be incredible, and it’ll be the tightest of tight games that will come down to one thing. Alabama’s punting game is solid, Auburn’s isn’t. The Auburn punters are combining to average under 40 yards per kick, putting just nine inside the 20 and with just three 50-yard blasts. Alabama’s J.K. Scott is averaging 43 yards per boot with 21 put inside the 20 with 13 kicks of over 50 yards. The Auburn punt coverage team is mediocre, while Alabama has allowed just four returns for five yards. The field will be tilted on Auburn’s side just a wee bit too much.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME PITT +14 The Hurricanes have played some close games this season against inferior competition. So, Miami must be ready on a short week to play a Pittsburgh team that played Virginia Tech tough last week. While the Hurricanes may start slow, expect quarterback Malik Rosier and running back Travis Homer to run wild over a Panthers defense that is below average. This game will be close. I have Miami winning by 6-10 points. Take the 14 points here. Miami wins 28-21. |

However, this hasn't been the case in recent seasons. The Bears have lost by an average of 21.9 points in their last seven games against the Cardinal. Stanford has big-play capability behind Love and quarterback K.J. Costello that California will be hard pressed to contain. Stanford wins 34-13. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME PURDUE +8 There’s nothing more deflating for an offense than a dropped pass. The Hawkeyes had 7 dropped passes last week against Wisconsin, and many were costly. A few would have produced first downs, which could have extended drives. Others were more ambiguous, like the ball bouncing off tight end Noah Fant’s right hand. Maybe it was slightly too far, maybe it wasn’t. Either way, it wasn’t a catch at a crucial time. The drops haven’t affected just one receiver, either. Quarterback Nate Stanley has a live arm, but the receivers know what velocity with which the ball is coming. Matt VandeBerg, Nick Easley and Ihmir Smith-Marsette all have had vital drops in recent weeks. Receiver play and special teams have become a detriment, and it needs to show up this week to ensure senior day is a success. I have Iowa winning 23-20. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME NOTRE DAME -3 The Miami offense isn’t good. It’s awful on third downs, was worse against Virginia Tech at throwing the ball at times, and it struggled way too much to put the game well out of reach. Malik Rosier has been fine, but he misfired on 11 of his 21 throws with three picks. He ran well, but he has to be nearly perfect – he can’t give the Irish O any easy chances. The Hurricanes are second-to-last in the ACC on third downs. This week, that’s not okay against an ultra-efficient offensive machine that doesn’t make a whole lot of mistakes. Yes, Wimbush got hurt. And Ian Book stepped in and hit all eight of his passes. Yes, Adams was out early. And the Irish finished with 380 rushing yards and four scores. The Irish pull the victory 28-17. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME GEORGIA TECH +3 The Yellow Jackets are just a few plays away from being 7-1. We’d all be very worried if that was the case. We’re all worried anyway, because of Paul Johnson’s style of offense, but the worry factor would be multiplied by about five if the Jackets had won those close games, or even two of them. The Georgia Tech offense has had four very good offensive games from a points standpoint, one middling offensive game, and one bad offensive game. The Virginia Tech defense is closer to the Miami and Clemson defenses than it is to teams like Pitt, UNC, Wake Forest and Virginia. Still, I don’t see the Hokies holding the Jackets to 10 points like Clemson. I’m hoping for a defensive performance somewhere between Miami and Clemson’s performances against Georgia Tech. With the way the VT offense has been playing, allowing 24 points might not be good enough. Twenty or fewer, however, is very doable. Virginia Tech is 6-3 against Paul Johnson. In VT’s six wins, Georgia Tech has scored 17, 21, 26, 17, 10 and 21 points, for an average of 18.67 points per game. In VT’s three losses, the Jackets have scored 28, 27 and 30 points, for an average of 28.33 points per game. According to my algorithms, I have GT winning 30-27. |

Quite commonly, this game comes down to avoiding mistakes, and capitalizing upon the opportunities whenever they are presented. Meyer knows that the skeptics are beginning to whisper about the Buckeyes, and it should make for must-see TV when the ball is kicked off at noon within Ohio Stadium. It should be a tough, traditional, Big Ten-style of game, and Ohio State ekes a close one out at home to keep its division title hopes alive. According to my algorithms, I have Ohio St winning 27-20. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME AKRON +7.5 Akron is still deep in the hunt for the MAC title, needing to win this week to set up a showdown against Ohio in the East game of the year. The Zips might not be doing much offensively, but the defense has been solid against everyone but Toledo. More than anything else, the team has figured out how to win close games, pulling off two one-point wins in the last three outings. Now on a run of four wins in the last five games, everything is set up for a big finishing kick – and to become bowl eligible. Miami is just trying to find something positive. The team that went on a late run to go bowling last year now has to win its final three games to do it again. Win this week, get by Eastern Michigan at home next Wednesday, and beat Ball State – bowl game. The hope is for QB Gus Ragland to be back, healthy, and good enough to go, but the offense hasn’t necessarily been the problem. The Akron offense isn’t anything special, but it’s terrific at keeping the chains moving. Miami doesn’t have a pass rush and it’s not nearly disruptive enough in key moments. While the RedHawks are able to control the clock, they’re not going to control the game. According to my algorithms, I have the Zips winning 28-21. Take the points here. |

K-State is No. 2 in the Big 12 in rushing offense and last in passing offense. Jesse Ertz is the K-State quarterback who is most likely to throw, while Alex Delton and Skylar Thompson might run more. But all three are threats to carry the ball, along with running back Alex Barnes. Texas Tech is No. 7 in the Big 12 in rushing defense and allowed Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson to rush for 181 yards on 24 carries last week. I like Texas Tech here, to limit Kansas States's main offense attack. According to my algorithms, I have Texas Tech winning 41-28. |

New Mexico is fighting for its 2017 survival. It’s not playing all that well, but it’s managing to battle hard in a loss to Colorado State. Now it needs to win three of the final five games to go bowling. The Lobo offense is miserable on third downs, but it’s still running well and it’s still dangerous – it’s just inconsistent. Wyoming has no offense – it’s last in the Mountain West – but the defensive front is outstanding at getting into the backfield and should be able to stuff the Lobos before they get started. At home, Wyoming will win the turnover battle, and the defensive will take over in a low-scoring battle. Wyoming wins 24-17. |

INSIDE MOVE 100 DIME GOY CALIFORNIA +4 Cal has a slight advantage on defense. However, the Bears have sorely missed playmaking linebacker Devante Downs, who was the leading tackler in the Pac-12 when he went down with a season-ending injury against Washington State. Downs led the team with three sacks and also recorded 5.5 tackles for a loss, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. The unit as a whole has improved, but it’s difficult to replace such a talented and productive player. Furthermore, both quarterbacks are turnover prone. Colorado's Steven Montez has thrown six interceptions, and Cal starter Ross Bowers has been picked off 10 times, including two last week. Given the uncertainty surrounding Montez as the starter, as well as Cal’s success forcing turnovers and the presence of running back Phillip Lindsay, we can expect the Buffs to lean heavily on the ground game. Since Cal has shown improvement stopping the run. This game will be tight. I have Cal winning 27-23. |

Pittsburgh has been running the football better but Virginia can balance their offense out too. Plus, there is little doubt that the Cavaliers have the best quarterback of the two clubs. Give me Virginia in an outright win at +150 and become bowl eligible. Also, Las Vegas had this total at 53.5. Now, it has come down to 50. I have to say that I side with the public on this because Virginia has allowed no more than 23 points to its conquered opponents in 2017. Obviously, I think the Cavaliers are going to win and they will do it on that side of the ball. Furthermore, I’m not impressed with quarterback Ben Dinucci. He has yet to throw for more than one touchdown in the three games he has started. I wish I could have gotten this under in at 53 but I still think the 50 will work. According to my algorithms, I have Virginia winning 24-17. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA -2.5 California faces another challenging matchup Saturday against visiting Arizona and emerging star Khalil Tate. The sophomore quarterback led the Wildcats to a 47-30 win over UCLA last Saturday in his first start of the season while Cal forced seven turnovers and recorded nine sacks in a 37-3 win over the Cougars. One week after setting the FBS record for rushing for a quarterback with 327 yards against Colorado, Tate rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 148 yards and a score against the Bruins. The future is suddenly bright for the explosive Wildcats, who have won three of their last four games and sit tied with Arizona State for second place in the Pac-12 South after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason media poll. The Wildcats look to maintain their momentum against a Cal team that snapped a three-game losing streak with their surprising win over Washington State. The Bears had five interceptions in the victory but will need to adjust without inside linebacker and leading tackler Devante Downs, who suffered a season-ending injury against the Cougars. Tate has received back-to-back Pac-12 offensive player of the week honors and helped open up a running game led by Nick Wilson, who posted his best numbers since the 2016 opener with 135 yards and two touchdowns against UCLA. Freshman Kylan Wilborn had four of the Wildcats' five sacks against the Bruins while cornerback Jace Whittaker added two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. The defense has forced 13 turnovers but will be without tackle Parker Zellers for the first half Saturday after the senior was ejected for targeting last week. Downs' injury is a huge blow for the resurgent Cal defense and will place a greater burden on the front line and inside linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk, who was named Pac-12 defensive player of the week after recording 11 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one interception against Washington State. The Bears' offense remains inconsistent but looked sharp against the Cougars as Vic Enwere replaced injured starter Patrick Laird and rushed for season highs of 22 carries for 102 yards with a score. Arizona has averaged 45 points 4 of 6 games. According to my algorithms, I have Arizona winning 37-30. |

Furthermore, Hawkeyes QB Nathan Stanley has been tremendous, already throwing 15 touchdowns this season and he is facing a weak pass defense that is allowing an average of 250 passing yards per game, which ranks them down at 101st in the Country. Iowa is 17-7 ATS in their last 24 road games. According to my algorithms. I have Iowa winning 24-17. |

With Middle Tennessee’s offense struggling to find its rhythm, Marshall’s defense is not exactly the sight the Blue Raiders want to see at home on Friday night. Marshall’s defense has played, the offense has done its part. Nothing about this offense jumps off of the stat sheet, but it has been productive, averaging 26.5 points per game. Quarterback Chase Litton is second in Conference USA with 13 touchdown passes, and he’s thrown just three interceptions. His top target is junior wide receiver Tyre Brady, who is among the top three in the conference in receptions (34), receiving yards (571) and touchdowns (six). On the ground, junior Keion Davis has just one touchdown, but he’s averaging 5 yards per carry. Look for these three to lead Marshall’s charge on offense. At the end, Marshall has to many weapons.

Memphis has the conference's top wide receiver in Anthony Miller, but Houston's passing game has playmakers as well with Steven Dunbar and Linell Bonner. Where Memphis has the clear advantage is at quarterback with Riley Ferguson. Kyle Postma supplanted Kyle Allen as the starter but can be prone to make a mistake with the ball even if Houston is ahead comfortably (four interceptions were thrown with a lead up to 14 points). Expect another good outing from Ferguson and Miller on the national stage to get Memphis out of Houston with an important win. Houston is not the same team without Head Coach Herman! According to my Predictions, I have Memphis winning 34-24. |

PLATINUM 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA +2.5 Arizona and UCLA combined for just seven wins a season ago; they have six combined coming into this game. Needless to say, both teams are dramatically improved from 2016. The winner will head into the season's second half at 4-2 and above .500 in Pac-12 play, with a real opportunity to make noise in the South division. UCLA has dominated the series since Mora took over, but the matchups have always favored the Bruins. This year looks like the exception. Arizona's multidimensional rushing attack should be able to take advantage of a Bruin defense ranked No. 129 in FBS stopping the run. Arizona's defense has made considerable strides this season, although slowing Rosen and the passing attack could prove difficult. Still, the Wildcats have shown an ability to rise up on that side of the ball, even in the two losses. This time, Arizona should get just enough defense for a win. According to my algorithms, I have Arizona winning 42-35. |

Through four games, Walton had racked up 428 yards on the ground and 91 yards off seven catches. He had more than double the yards of Miami’s next-best back, Travis Homer.

STRIP CLUB MOVE 100 DIME GAME Blowouts of Charleston Southern and Louisiana Tech were nice, but Mississippi State took its talents to another level last weekend. In addition to Fitzgerald and the offense, MSU’s defense limited the Tigers to 270 yards of total offense. The home team won the time of possession battle by 11 minutes and 50 seconds. Mississippi State is 4-1 ATS in its last five overall, 6-2 ATS in its last eight following a win by more than 20 points, and 5-1 ATS in its last six after allowing less than 20 points in its previous outing. Georgia is 2-5 ATS in its last seven at home, 2-7 ATS in its last nine following a win, and 3-12-1 ATS in its last 16 after scoring more than 40 points in its previous outing. Count on those trends continuing. According to my algorithms, I have this game within 3 points of either team. Should be a low scoring game! |

09-22-17 | Utah -3 v. Arizona | Top | 30-24 | Win | 100 | 93 h 9 m | Show |
HIGH ROLLER 100 DIME GOM Both schools really looked good last week, but both have played against weak teams. The Arizona Wildcats ran for a bundle of yards on the UTEP Miners, but the defense they face in this one will not be so easy to conquer. The Utes led the league in run defense last year and they are lead by a defensive line that rates first in the PAC-12 and 7th in the country. The Arizona defense was one of the worst in the league last year, especially their pass defense. That could be a big problem as Mr. Carrington is one of the better wide outs in Division I ball. Tyler Huntley is hot and should have a very good game against the Wildcats. I look for Utah to win this one by at least seven points. Also, the odds makers have this game’s over/under at 60. This could go either way in my opinion, but the Wildcats would have to score their fair share to get that done. The Utah defense is just to good to lay your money against that in this game. The Utes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games, while The Wildcats are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Take Utah -3 and watch their defense along with Huntley to Carrington be the deciding factor. |

STRIP CLUB MOVE 125 DIME GOY San Diego State has won 20 of their previous 23 games and will look to record back-to-back wins against Pac-12 schools. San Diego State is off to a 2-0 start this year with wins over UC-Davis at home and at Arizona State. The Aztecs are also 1-1 against the spread this season. San Diego State is allowing just 18.5 points and 328.5 yards per game right now, including just 50.5 rushing yards per contest. The offense is putting up 34 points per game and an impressive 277.5 rushing yards per contest. Rashaad Penny has been tough to stop. He has 413 yards on 39 carries with three touchdowns through two games. Juwan Washington is adding 122 rushing yards while Christian Chapman has 293 passing yards with three touchdowns.

09-16-17 | Clemson -3 v. Louisville | Top | 47-21 | Win | 100 | 104 h 21 m | Show |
BOOKIE BLOWOUT 100 DIME GOM The line opened up at Clemson football -4.5. It has dropped some places to the Tigers -3, which means a lot of the money is coming in on the Cardinals.Despite that fact, I will take Clemson minus the 3. The Tigers, in my opinion, will be able to take advantage of Louisville’s weak defense and score some points early. That will give Kelly Bryant confidence going forward and the offense will look a lot more in sync as the game progresses. Louisville will score some points on the Clemson defense, as well, but they won’t be able to keep up as the Tigers’ dominant front-seven provides pressure on Lamar Jackson. The algorithms are a Tier 2 Strong! I have Clemson winning 35-23 and 42-30. Lay the money on Clemson for the win. |

09-16-17 | UCLA -2.5 v. Memphis | Top | 45-48 | Loss | -120 | 49 h 30 m | Show |
OFFSHORE MOVE 150 DIME GOY Rosen and UCLA’s offense will have their way in this game, but so will the Tigers’ backfield, making it possible for both teams to get an even share in time of possessions. Rosen is going to light up the air against Memphis. After all, the Tigers don’t have that imposing defense that’s making Rosen lose some sleep over it. It doesn’t even matter who’s downfield for Rosen. Caleb Wilson led the team in receptions and receiving yards with 15 and 208 respectively against the Aggies, but got only three catches for 31 yards versus Hawaii. The receiving leader of the Hawaii game? Theo Howard, who had seven catches for 110 receiving yards – almost four times more than the 32 receiving yards on two catches he had against Texas A&M. Rosen could easily make a star out of his wideouts and a mockery of opposing defenses. The Memphis defense will have some issues against a team that averages 529 yards per game. According to my algorithms, I have a 1st Tier blowout! UCLA wins 45-38 |

09-09-17 | Utah -2.5 v. BYU | Top | 19-13 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
High Roller 100 Dime GOY The Utah Utes had a solid 9-4 season a year ago, but they may have to take a step back this year as they have just nine starters back overall. They did beat North Dakota in their opener by a score of 37-16, but the level of competition will go way up in this one. Utah has just four starters back on offense and gone is leading rusher Joe Williams, who had 1407 yards last year, but they have some experience at that spot as Zach Moss was 2nd on the team last year with 382 yards and two TDs. He is the number one back this year and had a solid outing in their win over the Flying Hawks as he ran for 128 yards and a TD on 22 carries (5.82 ypc). He should have a good year. Tyler Huntley got his first career start at QB and was solid as he hit 23 of 32 passes for 227 yards, with a TD and an INT. This is still a very average offense and will have a tough time topping the 29.8 ppg that they put up last year. BYU offense is not a good this year. They lack a lot of maturity, and I have Utah winning 24-17. |

09-09-17 | Oklahoma v. Ohio State -7 | Top | 31-16 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
MEGA MOVE 100 DIME EXECUTIVE PLAY Last year the Buckeyes visited Norman, Okla., and defeated the Sooners 45-24. Oklahoma comes to Ohio Stadium on Saturday seeking revenge with two-time Heisman finalist quarterback Baker Mayfield behind one of the best offensive lines in the country. Oklahoma lost its other Heisman finalist, wide receiver Dede Westbrook, and the two-headed monster of running backs Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon to the NFL. This year OSU has a two-headed monster of its own. Mike Weber returns from injury and joins freshman standout J.K. Dobbins, who gained 205 yards from scrimmage at Indiana in the Buckeyes’ opener. OSU struggled in the first half against Indiana as the Buckeyes displayed a lack of trust in the run game and an overcommitment to the passing game. Indiana often dropped eight men into coverage, essentially daring the Buckeyes to run the ball. OSU quarterback J.T. Barrett had some difficulty finding open receivers until Dobbins found success on the ground and forced Indiana to play with more men in the box. If Ohio State can establish the running game early on against Oklahoma, the Buckeyes will be able to control the tempo and scoreboard. The Scarlet and Gray should be able to combat the Sooners’ strong offensive line with the best defensive front in the country, which held Indiana to only 17 rushing yards. The Buckeyes will control the line of scrimmage and outrun the Sooners to victory. According to my algorithms, I have Ohio State 48, Oklahoma 24 |

09-09-17 | TCU -3.5 v. Arkansas | 28-7 | Win | 100 | 116 h 20 m | Show | |
COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME GOM The Arkansas Razorbacks looked very good in their opener and they look like they have the kind of offense that Bret Bielema cherishes and that is a ground and pound style. The problem for the Hogs this year will be a defense that rates as one of the worst in the SEC and that is not good for them in this one as they are going up against a TCU squad that has 10 starters back on offense and should average over 40.0 ppg this year. Arkansas has a solid offense, but the Horned Frogs have a solid defense. Arkansas is in the SEC, but they don’t have a SEC defense and that should allow the Horned Frog to put plenty of points on the board against them, while TCU’s defense will keep the Arkansas offense in check. I have TCU winning 43-31 |

09-08-17 | Ohio v. Purdue -4.5 | Top | 21-44 | Win | 100 | 99 h 45 m | Show |
COLLEGE FOOTBALL 75 DIME GAME I am taking Purdue in this contest. Purdue gave the 16th ranked Louisville Cardinals a good fight last week and were able to score 28 points, so I am confident they can build on that performance. David Blough and Elijah Sindelar combined to throw four touchdowns last week and Ohio’s pass defense is not very strong, so I expect Purdue to have success in the air. Also, Ohio lost most of their top receivers from last season and they don’t have a quarterback with proven experience. In addition, Purdue’s defense is expected to be improved over last season. I have Purdue winning 34-23. |

09-02-17 | Vanderbilt v. Middle Tennessee State OVER 57 | Top | 28-6 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 5 m | Show |
INSIDE MOVE 100 DIME GOM After a long offseason full of questions and recovery, the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders will make their season debut against a team they know all too well, the Vanderbilt Commodores. Scheduled to kickoff at 7 pm Central on CBS Sports Network, this game proves to be a great barometer for the success of these two teams this season. Middle Tennessee will be led on offense once again by a healthy Brent Stockstillwith plenty of weapons around him. On defense, the Raiders also return a lot of talent and leadership that should help with the implementation of new Defensive Coordinator Scott Shafer's system. The biggest question this season for the Raiders will be the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. If they can find the right combination of newcomers there, this team will be very dangerous. Vanderbilt returns one of the best running backs in the SEC in Ralph Webb along with quarterback Kyle Shurmur, who we can expect to get the ball in Webb's hands as much as possible. On defense, Vandy obviously lost star Zach Cunningham to the NFL, but return a lot of talent otherwise. It will definitely be a very tough test right out of the game for the MTSU offensive line to protect Brent Stockstill. I stick firmly to the idea that this game will be a shootout, similar to Mizzou vs MTSU last season. I'm not sure either team has a true answer to the offenses in this game. In the end, I think this game comes down to which offense hurts itself the most via penalties and turnovers. I like Vanderbilt to pull the Victory 42-34. Lay the money on the over. |

09-01-17 | Utah State v. Wisconsin -27 | Top | 10-59 | Win | 100 | 2 h 41 m | Show |
COLLEGE FOOTBALL 75 DIME GAME Utah State is going to be better than it was last year and has an offense that can move the football. However, there's levels to this game, and Wisconsin is a deep team that plays hard and smart. Yes, the Badgers lost a few key players here and there, but this is a team that will continue to beatup on lesser comp, and that's the boat the Aggies fall in. Not to mention Utah State has been downright awful against the number the last two seasons. While four touchdowns is a lot to lay in a season opener, this is a game the Wisconsin Badgers should run away with in the second half thanks to its defense getting stops. According to my algorithms, I have the Badgers winning 43-3 |

SUGAR BOWL 100 DIMES GOY Points! Oklahoma's defense might get picked apart by Auburn's multi-threat rushing attack, but at the same time it's hard to imagine Mayfield getting totally shut given the weapons at his disposal. Ultimately, I think the Auburn defensive front comes up with enough stops to give Gus the leverage he needs to keep a touchdown distance from the Sooners in a shootout of a Sugar Bowl. I have Auburn winning 34-28. |

01-02-17 | USC v. Penn State +9 | Top | 52-49 | Win | 100 | 3 h 5 m | Show |
ROSE BOWL 100 DIME GOY These are two of the hottest teams in the country. Penn State is coming off a Big Ten championship and narrowly missed out on the College Football Playoff. USC has won eight straight games after losing three of their first four games. The game is full of playmakers. Saquon Barkley is one of the best running backs in the country and brings a physical style of running to the game. Likewise, USC running back Ronald Jones has no problem running through defenders. USC’s Adoree Jackson does everything for the Trojans. Jackson plays cornerback, wide receiver and even returns punts. USC has just a bit more talent than Penn State that will give them the edge in a game that comes down to the wire. This could be one of the closest games this bowl season. According to my analysis, I have Penn St winning 28-24. |

FIESTA BOWL 150 DIME GOY Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer will have had over a month to prepare for this game. At the 2015 Sugar Bowl, he and his staff devised a game plan that allowed Ezekiel Elliott to run for 230 yards and two touchdowns against an Alabama defense that gave up an average of 88.7 rushing yards that year. Of course, neither Weber nor Samuel is as good as Elliott, and Tom Herman is no longer Ohio State's offensive coordinator. Still, it wouldn't be wise to bet against Meyer finding a way to avoid a repeat of the Michigan game. I have Ohio State winning by 4 points. |

ORANGE BOWL 100 DIME GOY Michigan sat at 9-0 and had its eyes on a spot in the College Football Playoff. Oops. The Wolverines lost two of their last three games to finish the season with a 10-2 record and no shot at the playoff. After losing to Ohio State by a score of 30-27 in double overtime, Michigan lost its chance at a Big Ten Title and a playoff berth. Now the Wolverines get a tough test in the Florida State Seminoles. The Seminoles got absolutely demolished by Louisville in Week 3, and then lost again in Week 5, to North Carolina. After that, it appears that Florida State woke up and started playing football. In its final seven games, FSU went 6-1 with the only loss coming in a 37-34 loss to Clemson. The Seminoles ended their season by crushing in-state rival Florida. This game will be within 3 points. |

Miami will get its first bowl win in a decade when it uses big plays and an opportunistic defense to get past West Virginia. Kaaya will be comfortable behind an improving offensive line, throwing for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns against the Mountaineers defense. Richards will be on the receiving end of two of those scores to cap his sensational freshman season. The Mountaineers will bring plenty of fight, and Crawford will chew up Miami's usually solid run defense for 150 yards on 20 carries. Howard will throw two touchdowns, but the Hurricanes will the turnover battle, which will be the difference in a game that goes down to the wire. |

12-27-16 | Washington State -10 v. Minnesota | 12-17 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 3 m | Show | |
HOLIDAY BOWL 100 DIME GOY Both teams did not finish their season’s on an up note, but both can walk into the postseason with some momentum by grabbing a win in this game. The Golden Gophers have motivational issues for this one as they nearly boycotted the game due to player suspensions, but they Cougars could also be less than motivated as they could have played in the Pac-12 Title game, but came up a bit short. I don’t feel that the Cougars will be less than motivated for this game. They will have more motivation than Minnesota will and they also have the far better offense, plus this game is on the west coast and the Gophers have struggled to defend the pass. One thing you need when facing the Cougars is a deep defense and six of the players suspended were on the defensive side of the ball, plus they may also be with DB Alexander Sparks, who is listed as questionable. A deplete defense and an offense that can’t pass the ball should spell doom for Minnesota in this one. Cougars in a rout. |

INDEPENDCE BOWL 100 DIME GOY The best matchup in this game will be the NC State front seven against Vanderbilt’s running game and that will certainly be fun to watch. But the most interesting question I have is, what will the Commodores do when the Wolfpack load the box? Whether or not Kyle Shurmur can make plays through the air against a susceptible defense is really the most intriguing storyline here. That may end up deciding the winner. Both of these teams finished the season strong and are plenty capable of leaving Shreveport with a victory. But the way Vanderbilt played in the last two weeks of the season was even more impressive. The Commodores will get it done in a tight game. |

QUICK LANE BOWL 100 DIME GOY The Terps are more battle-tested and the month off can only help heal some of their injured players. As good as Boston College’s defense is, they still allowed 49 points at Virginia Tech, 56 at Clemson, 52 against Louisville and 45 against Florida State. Walt Bell’s offense has a month to figure out how to block Landry and get the ball in the hands of the Terps’ playmakers. This should be a low-scoring game but the Terps get the win in the dome. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME WVU’s QB misfired on numerous throws in his team’s only loss to Oklahoma State. He also tossed two interceptions to the Cowboys. In a near loss to Texas last week, he threw three picks. Spreading the ball around that way to OU defenders, rather than Howard’s own teammates, will kill any hope of a WVU win. Count on Howard and the rest of the Mountaineers to give a game effort, though. The Sooners probably enjoy just enough of an edge on offense to make the plays necessary to stave off WVU, but the ‘Eers are more than capable of winning this game - on the way to putting the College Football Playoff selection committee in a bind in a couple of weeks. I have West Virginia winning 28-24 |
