*200 Illinois +14
Not one person, or analysis I have read is giving Illinois a chance today. However, the trends tell a different story! Illinois is 9-1 ATS since October 5 1985 vs Ohio state in games 1-5. Illinois is also 11-2-1 ATS in games 1-4 vs a Big 10 team and their next game is home. Ohio State is known for coming out flat against teams they are supposed to dominate. Look for a hungry and improved Illinois team to cover this spread today.

*200 LSU -12
Miss St has had a much softer schedule thus far, and this line is low because they pulled off a straight up victory over a weaker than usual Vanderbilt team last week. The Miss St spread offense will struggle against this LSU defense that has speed and the hunger to hit someone. I have several trends that support a LSU victory today. LSU is 8-0 ATS (+19.6 ppg) since September 11, 1993 on the road vs. MSST and LSU is 7-0 ATS (+21.2 ppg) since November 15, 1986 as a road favorite vs. MSST. However, MSST is 0-9 ATS Since September 12 1992 Vs LSU in games 1-4. Take LSU and feel good about a solid cover today!

*200 Rice +7.5
This game has sucker written all over it. Vanderbilt is a much weaker team than most think this year. With only 45% of the public on Rice the line has dropped over 1.5 points to 7. Rice is 11-0 ATS since October 3 1981 at home when 2 games ago they faced a big 12 team. Take Rice and the points at home today to cover this spread against a Vandy team that was beat up pretty bad in a hrad hitting contest last week.

*200 Kansas -13
The JayHawks have done what it takes to be a double digit favorite today. Last week their defense turned the corner and sent David Cutcliffes Duke Blue Devils to the sideline 8 straight times with out a score. Todd Reesing, the Kansas quarterback is completing 64% of his career passes. There was an unusual brawl on campus on this week. There are rumors that close to 10 football players could be displined this weekend, with top receiver Briscoe being one of them. I don't see that happening this weekend especially with the line staying flat at a solid 13. The League is 0-9 ATS (-13.0 ppg) since November 18, 2006 as a dog vs. KAN after a home game. Kansas is 16-6 ATS record in its last 22 as a home favorite. Take Kansas minus the points for the cover.

*300 Arkansas State -2
Ark St has had two weeks to prepare for this game. The Troy Trojans came out last week with a bruising win over UAB. The Red Wolves are better than the team that Troy beat by 26 in 2008. The Trojans are not as good as last season's team, and have struggled to move the ball at times. Ark St has a 3 senior that are up for player of the year honors. I love this Ark St team to inflict some revenge today on the Trojans. We will side with the public in game and take the Red Wolves for the cover.

*300 Iowa +10
Iowa does one thing well, and that is they get up for Penn State. Iowa has won 4 out of the last 5 games straight up. Yes, Iowa is rebuilding this year. However, they are still playing Penn St so all the rules are out the door today. Penn St is 0-7 ATS in games 1-4 when their next game is away and their opponents next conference game is vs the Big 10. The Penn State offense and Iowa Hawkeye defense are pretty evenly matched. This will be an exciting chess match to watch. Take Iowa for the cover today, and thank their special teams play, and ability to get the turnovers for the cover.

*300 Miami -3
Miami is one of the most under rated teams in college football this year. Miami should be able to stop the run and force Tyrod Taylor into some bad decisions. And unlike Nebraska, Miami will actually be able to score touchdowns, and plenty of them! The Hokies defense is good, but the Miami offense wil prove to much to handle today. The Hokies are not close to being able to play Beamer ball, and today Miami takes one more step to winning the ACC Title. Take the hurricanes laying this low number for an impressive victory today!
