| ACC | | | | QB Colt McCoy has struggled so far this season but |
| Clemson(-8) VS. NC STATE: Clemson (-7) VS. NC | | | | Rice's horrendous defense should be just what they |
| STATE: Clemson is in the unfavorable position as a | | | | need to get going offensively. Texas is also a |
| favorite as they are only 11-24-1 ATS as a favorite | | | | profitable heavy favorite under coach Mack Brown as |
| against conference opponents in their last 36 such | | | | they are now 13-4 ATS as a favorite of over 28 |
| games. Clemson can move the football but they yield | | | | points. THE PICK: Texas (-38.5) |
| a good deal of yardage to opposing offenses. NC | | | | Iowa State(-3.5) VS. TOLEDO: Toledo has been |
| State are decent offensively so this should be a close | | | | horrible in their first three games as they have gone |
| one. Throw in the fact State is a home underdog and | | | | 0-3 ATS and have been outscored by an average of |
| its clear you should go with the Woflpack. THE PICK: | | | | 23-50. Iowa State will come in confident after almost |
| (NC State +7) | | | | upsetting a good Iowa State team last week and they |
| ******NAVY(-10) VS. Duke:***** BEST BET! | | | | should use their strong running game to control the |
| BOSTON COLLEGE(-28.5) VS. Army: The Eagles are | | | | clock and put Toledo onto it's heels. Iowa State is also |
| in a dead spot here after a big win over Georgia Tech | | | | playing very good defensively and that is bad news |
| last week. QB Matt Ryan has been incredible for BC | | | | for a weak Toledo offense that can't seem to find |
| all season and the defense has been very effective at | | | | their rhythm. THE PICK: (Iowa -3.5) |
| stopping opposing offenses. The key money matter | | | | CONFERENCE USA |
| here centers on the fact that Boston College qualifies | | | | CENTRAL FLORIDA(-7) VS. Memphis: UCF is in good |
| in a 14-38-3 ATS letdown situation. Army is skilled | | | | shape here as they have played tough in all three of |
| enough to only lose by 24. THE PICK: Army (+27) | | | | their games this season. Coach George O'Leary really |
| WAKE FOREST(-3) VS. Maryland: Wake gets a | | | | has this team clicking on all cylinders and they should |
| boost this week as QB Riley Skinner returns to a | | | | handle a weak Memphis team that is only 6-23 ATS |
| better than average offense. The Deamon Deacons | | | | after a win. UCF will be able to run on a soft Memphis |
| are not the most profitable team as a favorite so be | | | | run defense and thus control the game throughout. |
| careful here but they have a very good defense that | | | | THE PICK: Central Florida (-7) |
| will further impede a terrible Maryland offense. Wake | | | | ******TCU(-19.5) VS. SMU******BEST BET! |
| usually plays very well at home so cede the points. | | | | INDEPENDENT |
| THE PICK: Wake Forest (-3.5) | | | | BOWLING GREEN(-20.5) VS. Temple: Temple is |
| BIG EAST | | | | starting to show signs of being an improved team as |
| *******WEST VIRGINIA(-24) VS. East | | | | they lost by only 5 to UConn last week despite being a |
| Carolina******STRONG OPINION | | | | 29.5 underdog. Bowling Green has struggled to score |
| ******PITTSBURGH(-8) VS. UConn******STRONG | | | | at times this season and this way to many points to |
| OPINION | | | | give to an improving team combined with their |
| CINCINNATI(-22) VS. Marshall: The Thundering Herd is | | | | offensive ineptitude. THE PICK: Temple (+21) |
| in the midst of a truly awful season and that point was | | | | MID AMERICAN |
| hammered home last week when they lost to New | | | | Kent State(-3.5) VS. AKRON: Akron is on the short list |
| Hampshire!!!!! Cincinnati on the other hand are putting up | | | | as one of the worst offenses in college football while |
| points by the bucketful and they should continue to do | | | | Kent State has played well on that side of the ball. |
| so here against a very weak Marshall defense. After | | | | State has two big weapons in QB Julian Edelman and |
| such a humiliating loss, confidence will be in short supply | | | | RB Eugene Jarvis and they should find plenty of room |
| for the Herd and teams that lose to a D-II team wind | | | | to maneuver against a weak Akron defense. When |
| up going only 9-27 ATS the next week. Go with the | | | | both sides of the ball favor one team, then you pick |
| more confident Bearcats. THE PICK: Cincinnati (-23.5) | | | | them to cover. THE PICK: Kent State (-2.5) |

| and a big arm. The defense has also played well and | | | | *******Oregon(-16.5) VS. STANFORD*****BEST BET! |

| qualifies in a home underdog after a win scenario that | | | | were absolutely embarrassed last week as they got |
| has produced a 132-70-4 ATS record. Go with the | | | | run over by a terrible Utah team. The Washington |
| improving home underdog. THE PICK: Indiana (+2.5) | | | | Cougars also fell in a lopsided fashion last week as |
| Michigan State(-13.5) VS. NOTRE DAME: It's absolutely | | | | they got it handed to them at home against a tough |
| amazing that ND is getting over 10 points at home | | | | Ohio State team. UCLA clearly comes into the game |
| against anyone but the Irish are playing at a record | | | | in a more lousy state of mind and they surely have to |
| pace for offensive futility. QB Jimmy Clausen has not | | | | be questioning themselves after such an inexcusable |
| been the answer and the offensive line is atrocious. | | | | loss. UCLA also qualifies in a very negative 18-59-1 |
| Michigan State has been up and down this season but | | | | ATS situation following their loss last week. Go with |
| they are much more well-rounded on both sides of the | | | | the home team who is not so much in the dumps. THE |
