***Virginia -10 vs Illinois ***Over 55 Virginia was a perfect 5-0 ATS at home last season and they continued that ATS streak with a cover at home vs William and Mary this past Saturday. Things get tougher this week vs Illinois, however Virginia should be able to score plenty vs an Illini defense that has given up 445 points (average) in … [Read more...]

Liberty +17: Well coached Liberty's offense has enough to stay within reach of Va Tech. Boston College -14.5: Syracuse plays well at home vs bad teams. BC is not a bad team. Eagles should roll vs Syracuse who will not score much today. Indiana +4: Michigan favored because of the uniform. Better QB play on Hoosiers side gets them the … [Read more...]
*San Diego State -10: San Jose State has improved but will have their hands full vs Aztecs. Game should stay within a TD first half but San Diego State should pull away late.

TCU +8 over Oklahoma - Take away Oklahoma’s season-opening blasting of Florida Atlantic and the Sooners’ power rating puts them on the fringe of college football’s Top 15.

Kansas State +7 over Oklahoma State - Mike Gundy-coached teams typically overachieve and exceed the public’s expectations, but 2018 has clearly not been his grandest production. Oklahoma State is 4-2 on the season and has uncharacteristically dropped two straight conference games at home, losing to Texas Tech (41-17) and Iowa State … [Read more...]
Rutgers-Ohio State Under 62 - In four meetings against national power Ohio State since joining the Big 10, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights have scored a grand total of 24 points versus the Buckeyes.

Boise State -7 over Fresno State From 1-11 last season to 8-3 this year, Fresno State’s turnaround under first-year head coach Jeff Tedford has been one of the top ‘under-the-radar’ stories of 2017.
