Coach Rodriguez was brought to UM with one thing in mind – BEAT OHIO STATE – and he has yet to do it!! Look for Rodriguez and his team to play some inspired ball knowing that a win today secures a “winning” season and a possible trip to a minor game. UM offense very balanced and will be effective today, however, it’s the defense that must make a few big plays to give their team a chance – my money says they do it!! Look for OSU to be feeling a little “too good” after their B2B wins over Penn State and Iowa which clinched the Big 10 title and trip to the Rose Bowl and for complacency to possibly set in knowing they have dominated this Rivalry recently. Make no mistake about it OSU is the better team but today it is Michigan that is the more motivated team!! It is worth noting that OSU is just 1-4 ATS L5 road games versus a team with a losing home record.

TOP PLAY: UCONN MONEYLINE +210
Is there a more frustrated team than UConn?? All 5 of their losses have been by 4 or fewer points and against one of the toughest schedules in the nation. UConn, at 4-5, is still fighting to become bowl eligible and a win today would be huge for them!! The Irish passing attack has been the back bone of this team all season but today they will find it difficult against a very good UConn pass defense. We all know UConn will run and they will be very effective against this Irish team that has struggled all season to stop it giving up an average of 4.6 yards per carry. Take UConn knowing they are 5-0 ATS L5 on the road while Notre Dame 1-7 ATS L8 as a fave!!

***UNDERDOG GAME OF THE YEAR***
Last year Rutgers pounded the Cuse by 18 as a 14 point home fave and now this year an 8-2 RU opens as a 7.5 point road fave against the 3-7 Orange?? Seem fishy?? The public doesn’t think so BUT I DO!! Folks, despite their 8-2 mark I still maintain that RU is over-rated!! Their offense just hung 31 on South Florida which is only the 2nd time all year they scored 30 or more; the first time was against a horrible Maryland team!! The public loves to love Rutgers because in recent years they have been a covering machine but look for all of that to end today!! The Cuse is one of the best in the nation at stopping the run and RU relies heavily on the ground game to set up their passing attack. They will struggle today!! The Cuse may only be 3-7 but they have played a VERY tough schedule and have been competitive in every game!! Meanwhile, RU sits at 8-2 but worth noting that their schedule has been laughable, ranking a pathetic 113th in the nation!! So let’s not get too excited about Rutgers folks because this one has UPSET written all over it!! I went against RU last time out against USF and got waxed but it’s not happening today!! This is a bigger game for the Cuse than many of you may know for the reason that the Cuse recruits a lot out of players out of Jersey – in order to continue to attract that talent they MUST win today!! It is important to note that Rutgers is just 9-22 ATS L31 after a game where they forced 4 or more turnovers. It is also important to note that Syracuse allowed just 34 rushing yards on 35 carries against Louisville and the Orange are an incredible 15-3 ATS L18 at home games after allowing 75 or less rushing yards. Look for Rutgers to come crashing back to Earth today!! I loved the Cuse at the opening of 7.5 and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Joe Public for driving the number higher!!

Huge home revenge angle in effect today for MSU and I will not ignore it especially knowing they are still playing for a Bowl berth!! PSU is just 2-5-1 ATS L8 as a fave of 3 points or less and 1-4 ATS L5 after an ATS loss. Meanwhile, MSU is an incredible 15-2-1 ATS in their home finales L18 years!! Look for MSU to play inspired ball and get revenge for last year’s blowout loss!! The home side is 7-3 ATS L10 meetings!!

YES, I actually do play faves when it’s warranted!! Northwestern is always a great home play as a dog but this line is just begging you to take them in my opinion especially knowing they are coming off impressive B2B road wins over Iowa and Illinois!! On paper the NW defense appears solid including the fact that they have only given up 138 yards per game on the ground. But folks, don’t be mislead by this number!! The reality is the Cats have not seen a run offense like this all season and their run defense will be exposed big time!! Look for the Badgers to jump out early and for NW to fail in their efforts to play from behind!!

TOP PLAY: LSU MONEYLINE +175
You are going to give me points for LSU and Coach Miles knowing they are a revenge spot?? You better believe I will bite especially knowing that Ole Miss is coming off their biggest offensive output in SEC playing racking up 42 points marking the first time they put up more than 30 in a conference game and only the 2nd time they put up more than 23!! I know LSU struggled last week with La Tech but that creates our line value here when you combine it with Ole Miss’ emotional blowout win over an over-rated Tennessee squad!! Look for Ole Miss to fall flat on their faces today!! And it helps knowing that LSU is an impressive 11-5-1 ATS L17 as a road dog of 3.5 to 10 points and that the dog has covered 8 of the L9 meetings!!

TOP PLAY: SMU +3
TOP PLAY: SMU MONEYLINE +140
SMU is playing for a conference championship while Marshall a bowl berth so there is a lot on the line today. However, I will back SMU as their offense is rolling right now and I don’t see that stopping today!! Marshall’s offense has been inconsistent and untimely mistakes have cost them games. Look for SMU to take advantage of mistakes and to ultimately wear down the Marshall defense resulting in a huge road win for the Mustangs.
PREDICTION: SMU 31 MARSHALL 19

TOP PLAY: CALIFORNIA +7
TOP PLAY: CALIFORNIA MONEYLINE +260
We all know this is one of the oldest and biggest rivalries in college football and I will gladly side with the road team today!! Stanford is coming off huge B2B wins over Oregon and USC and when you combine this with the cardinal success at home we get tremendous line value today. However, with those wins Stanford has quickly moved to the unfamiliar role of playing hunted instead of the hunter and kids at this level typically fail in unfamiliar roles!! Stanford relies heavily on the run to set up their passing attack and that won’t be easy today against one of the stingiest run defenses in the nation!! It is worth noting that Cal is an incredible 13-5-1 ATS L19 as a road dog.
PREDICTION: CAL 31 STANFORD 27

Okay as tough as it has been for Vegas this season it is nice to know they still have a sense of humor!! Nebraska a 17 point fave?! Get real!! K-State is 6-1 ATS L7 games after giving up more than 280 passing yards. K-State also 7-3 ATS L10 as a road dog!! After B2B wins against Oklahoma and Kansas look for a classic Nebraska letdown and for them to fall flat on their faces!! I am taking the moneyline based on principal alone!!

TOP PLAY: ARIZONA +6
TOP PLAY: ARIZONA MONEYLINE +200
I can give you 100 trends/angles that suggest Oregon wins and covers today!! However, we will find out exactly WHY they play the games!! Arizona is coming off a disappointing road loss to Cal but perhaps they got caught looking ahead to this game, a game that not only has huge conference championship implications but also a huge revenge game for Arizona!! Arizona has surprised many this season and is playing with a chip on their shoulders. We all know Oregon struggles on the road and I don’t see today being any different especially knowing the Ducks are just 1-4 ATS L5 as a road fave of 3.5 to 10 points!! And remember, they were just in this spot 2 weeks ago at Stanford and they got blasted!! Meanwhile, Arizona is an impressive 11-3 ATS L14 at home overall including 4-0 ATS L4 as a home dog, and interestingly enough ALL 4 games were against RANKED opponents!! Additionally, the Cats are also 6-1 ATS L7 home games when playing a team with a winning record on the road and 6-2 ATS L8 off a SU loss!! Lastly, it is worth noting the home team is an impressive 4-1 ATS L5 meetings!! Look for it to be electric in Arizona tonight and for the Cats to take a huge step towards their first Rose Bowl berth in history!!
