372 Florida 6.0 (-105) Southpoint vs 371 Georgia
double-dime bet
Analysis:
Double Revenge time for the Gators and they have the team to win outright here. Very Strong D and a Georgia Squad that has lost a lot of punch this season offensively. This number opened at just 3.5 a~nd early bettors give us this good number on the neutral site. Let's grab the points..
GREG SHAKER | CFB SIDE SAT, 11/02/19 - 4:00 PM
392 Washington 3.5 (-110) Southpoint vs 391 Utah
double-dime bet
Analysis:
The Utes have only been challenged once on the road losing to USC as a coincidental -3.5 favorite but the fact is that is the o~nly good team they have played away from familiar surrounding. Washington off the bye week and folks this will be a hostile atmosphere at this venue on Saturday. Love the points here and also playing some Money Line as well..

WASHINGTON +3.5
UTAH @ WASHINGTON | 11/02 | 4:00 PM EDT
MON 10/28
Now that Washington's Pac-12 title hopes are shot amid a surprising three conference losses, the best the Huskies can do is spoil Utah's bid to come out of the South Division and reach the title game. Recent history suggests they will do just that. Washington swept two from the Utes last year, including the title game. They are the one Pac-12 club capable of matching Utah's physicality and, while the Utes are efficient on offense, they don't have the type of firepower that helped Oregon overcome a two-touchdown deficit against Washington. The underdog is a major value against this key number.

GEORGIA VS FLORIDA | 11/02 | 3:30 PM EDT
MON 10/28
The Gators allowed more than 500 yards of total offense in their loss to LSU, followed by allowing nearly 400 to South Carolina in a game in which several breaks fell their way. Georgia responded to its loss to the Gamecocks with a shutout of Kentucky. Although the Bulldogs have lacked imagination and explosive plays on offense, look for them to come out refocused after the bye and see increased production. Their edge on defense is what makes the difference Saturday in this rivalry contest.

MICHIGAN @ MARYLAND | 11/02 | 12:00 PM EDT
MON 10/28
After a six-game gauntlet in which it confronted Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State and Notre Dame, Michigan must brace for a letdown. Who wouldn’t be prone against a team that was outscored 126-52 in its three previous outings? Josh Jackson, the Terrapins' QB during their decent start, missed two of those lopsided defeats with an ankle injury and played sparingly last Saturday. A native of Ann Arbor, he will be motivated to play — and play well. The Wolverines have covered in just two of its 10 recent roadies.

NEBRASKA @ PURDUE | 11/02 | 12:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:58 PM
Nebraska has lost its last two games, but it didn’t have QB Adrian Martinez. He gave an indication this week that he will be starting against Purdue. The Boilermakers sunk to new depths with a home loss to Illinois last week. Backup QB Jack Plummer has been horrendous and star WR Rondale Moore has been missing since week 5. Nebraska is the play.

SMU @ MEMPHIS | 11/02 | 7:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:24 PM
This figures to be the most exciting game of the week in college football with back-and-forth scoring throughout. SMU (8-0) averages 43.0 points and 504.1 yards per game, while Memphis (7-1) averages 39.5 points and 470.6 yards per game. Memphis has gone Over the total in its last five games while SMU has gone Over in seven of its eight games. (The one Under was by a half-point.) Over is the play.

BOSTON COLLEGE @ SYRACUSE | 11/02 | 12:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 6:27 PM
Boston College is dead last in the ACC in total defense, and Syracuse isn't much better at No. 11. Meanwhile, the Eagles have been racking up 6 yards per play and have a punishing rushing attack. If you have to pick a side, go with Boston College. But definitely take the over.

PITTSBURGH @ GEORGIA TECH | 11/02 | 4:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 6:23 PM
The Yellow Jackets' single-game season high in total offense is 379 yards, and Pitt hasn't given up more than 328 since it beat UCF in a shootout on Sept. 21. This game might not even break 35. Pat Narduzzi vs. a Georgia Tech offense in transition can serve as both a football matchup and a horror movie.

MIAMI (FLA.) @ FLORIDA ST. | 11/02 | 3:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 6:20 PM
Florida State's quarterback situation is so bad that running back Cam Akers might get more time under center. The news isn't much better for Miami, which hasn't been able to find a reliable signal-caller all season. Defense will rule the day, and neither offense will get cranked up enough to come anywhere close to the total.

TCU +3
TCU @ OKLAHOMA ST. | 11/02 | 3:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 2:43 PM
The Horned Frogs sprung the slight upset of Texas last weekend, with quarterback Max Duggan leading the charge with 273 passing yards. The true freshman has completed 64.2 percent of his passes in October, which shows that things are starting to click. The Cowboys have a star in running back Chuba Hubbard, but the Horned Frogs have the best run defense in the conference (103.71 yards per game). Duggan will lead his team to the slight upset in a sloppy affair.

KANSAS ST. @ KANSAS | 11/02 | 3:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 2:42 PM
Both teams come in to this one rolling, but the Wildcats proved last week that they are not only capable of pulling a big upset, but can contend for the Big 12 title. The Jayhawks defense has given up a whopping 537 yards per game in Big 12 action this year, and have given up 483 or more for four straight games. The Wildcats build off of last week's upset of Oklahoma and pull away late for a cover.

Mississippi State's quarterback situation is a mess, and its defense has a sieve. Unless LSU QB Joe Burrow gets hit with a cowbell, the Tigers should roll with ease. Take LSU.

The Razorbacks are starting the wrong quarterback by going with Nick Starkel over Ben Hicks, and Kentucky's quarterback situation is so bad that star wide receiver Lynn Bowden is taking significant snaps. Both defenses are bad, but this is a game where the offenses will get in their own way early and often.

UAB @ TENNESSEE | 11/02 | 7:00 PM EDT

This game is prime for an upset pick. UAB has a fantastic defense, and the Blazers play with balance. A strong running game and an efficient passing game are winning games for them this season. Tennessee's offense is in disarray. I like UAB easily in this one.

YESTERDAY 10:12 PM
Preparing for the Green Wave offense is similar to getting ready to face the option. If you have trouble stopping the run, you'll struggle against Tulane. Tulsa can keep it close with its ability to throw the ball, and Tulane's secondary is suspect against the deep ball. However, it will be hard for the Golden Hurricane to keep up with Tulane's scoring pace.

YESTERDAY 10:06 PM
It has been an up-and-down season for the Cavaliers. After a hot start, Virginia was crushed by Miami and has battled inconsistency since. The positives have been the play of QB Bryce Perkins and the pass rush. The Cavaliers have had their wake-up call and will take care of business against a talented but young North Carolina squad.

TEXAS ST. @ LOUISIANA | 11/02 | 5:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 9:59 PM
The Ragin' Cajuns have the best running game in the Sun Belt, going three-deep in the backfield, and the passing game has been catching up since their loss to Appalachian State. That balance spells trouble for their remaining opponents. Defensively, the front seven will keep the Bobcats' running game in check.

The Bearcats are gunning for a spot in a New Year's Six bowl game, and they have the ingredients to accomplish that. Coach Luke Fickell has a balanced team that does a great job of forcing turnovers. ECU has improved a lot under new coach Mike Houston, but this matchup is too tough to overcome.

UTEP @ NORTH TEXAS | 11/02 | 3:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 9:44 PM
Mean Green QB Mason Fine is still one of the best in college football and he leads an explosive offense. Not much has gone UTEP's way this season, especially for the defense. The North Texas defense isn't much better, but the offense will do its part to cover the spread.

Florida hasn't been getting a lot of respect from oddsmakers despite having a very good offensive line, a stable of running backs and a competent QB. That sounds exactly like Georgia. Where the Gators have the advantage is in the secondary, and I trust their defense a bit more than the Bulldogs' in this game.

Kansas State has the same philosophy under coach Chris Klieman that it had under Bill Snyder: dominate at the point of attack. That is how the Wildcats pulled off the upset against Oklahoma. They will have to stop Jayhawks RB Pooka Williams, but the Wildcats have the advantage up front and will avoid the upset in Lawrence.

The Trojans have been competitive all season, and they haven’t made excuses despite numerous injuries. The key here is that USC tends to rise to the occasion, while Oregon often shows up small in big games. This will be a close one at the Coliseum.

339 BYU 3.5(-110) Westgate vs 340 Utah St. triple-dime bet
Analysis: BYU has played the much tougher schedule so far (No. 7 vs No. 57 in Sagarin’s ratings). Also BYU is coming off a much needed bye after already playing Utah, Tennessee, USC, Washington, at Toledo, at South Florida and Boise St. On the other side, Utah St lost by 24 to Air Force last week and it should’ve been by 40 points! The Aggies’ defense was on the field for more than 45 minutes! We think “big brother” will be feeling disrespected here. BYU in 33 meetings vs Utah St since 1980 has been the underdog only one other time...in 2013 when they won outright 31-14. Utah St’s QB Jordan Love (8-9 ratio this year) is clearly not the same player under new head coach Gary Andersen (32-6 ratio last year) and finally BYU is 21-6 ATS as a road dog since 2010.
Brad Powers | CFB Side - Saturday, Nov 2 2019 2:30PM
341 Virginia Tech 17.5(-110) Westgate vs 342 Notre Dame double-dime bet
Analysis: After last week’s blowout loss at Michigan, what does ND have to play for? No conference championship, no playoff bid. Remember, ND has struggled with nothing to play for in November going 6-15 ATS the last 5 years (-5.7 ppg) and 3-14 ATS taking out last year when they were unbeaten and were still shooting for a playoff bid. Their opponent VT comes in fresh off a bye, feeling confident after 3 straight wins. We like the Hokies here.

392 Washington 3.5(-110) William Hill vs 391 Utah double-dime bet
Analysis: We feel you’re starting to pay a premium this week with Utah in the market. They’ve won 4 straight by 30.8 ppg and covered 4 straight by 16.9 ppg. However, this is a much taller order here. Remember, Washington head coach Chris Petersen is 18-0 SU (11-7 ATS +4 ppg) off a regular season bye dating back to his Boise St days. The Utes have lost 12 of 13 all-time meetings vs Washington and are now laying more than a FG on the road. We like the Huskies

After a six-game gauntlet in which it confronted Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State and Notre Dame, Michigan must brace for a letdown. Who wouldn’t be prone against a team that was outscored 126-52 in its three previous outings? Josh Jackson, the Terrapins' QB during their decent start, missed two of those lopsided defeats with an ankle injury and played sparingly last Saturday.

FRESNO ST. @ HAWAII | 11/03 | 12:00 AM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:18 PM
Fresno apparently treats its excursions to the Aloha State as business trips. No vacations for the Bulldogs, who have won five in a row straight-up on the island. Hawaii’s prolific passing attack will miss productive WR Melquise Stovall, who was dismissed this week. The Rainbows are catching their breath after a stretch of three road games in four weeks, and recent Hawaii teams have fared poorly upon returning home after comparable travels.

CINCINNATI @ EAST CAROLINA | 11/02 | 7:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:15 PM
Few teams with an offense ranked as low as Cincinnati’s at No. 85 can comfortably allot two-dozen points to an underdog. The Bearcats’ O has benefited vastly from 19 turnovers caused by the defense and special teams, including 14 in the past three games. Such a pace is likely unsustainable. Cincy has failed to cover on five of its seven latest road trips.

TULSA @ TULANE | 11/02 | 4:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:13 PM
Not to put too much stock in one weekend, but Tulsa’s game last Saturday generated 83 points and Tulane’s 79. The week before, Tulane allowed 47. Tulane’s option attack can be lethal on the ground, which matches up well with Tulsa’s poor run defense. The Green Wave has hurdled into Over-land in four of their past outings, and the series has produced five Overs in the last six episodes.

UTAH @ WASHINGTON | 11/02 | 4:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:24 PM
Utah is permitting 10.3 points per game, and the number is headed south after the last four foes managed 13, 7, 3 and zero in that order. While Washington’s offense represents an upgrade on most of the Utes’ victims, a major bump in scoring seems illogical, especially if recent history is a guide. In two meetings last year, the second for the Pac-12 title, Utah scrounged out a total of 10 points.

ARMY @ AIR FORCE | 11/02 | 3:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:16 PM
The cure for a slump -- and Army is in a major one -- is a rivalry matchup. This spread is substantial for what should be a game with an often-running clock thanks to a pair of running teams. Army yields little in the way of home-field advantage, with six covers in the last eight away gigs. In the past decade, Air Force has covered about one-third of games in which it was a double-figure favorite. Take the points.

FIU -17.5
OLD DOMINION @ FIU | 11/02 | 12:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:12 PM
Old Dominion claims to have 28 -- yes, 28 -- injured players. Some are expected to give it a go, but the lack of depth for a noon kickoff in the South Florida heat favors the home side. The visiting Monarchs own the worst yards-per-play average in the FBS. They seem unlikely to keep pace with the Golden Panthers, who are unbeaten straight-up at home with an average win margin of 18. Registering 30 points on offense should guarantee a cover. Take FIU.

KANSAS ST. -5.5
KANSAS ST. @ KANSAS | 11/02 | 3:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 3:09 PM
Any choice other than laying the points with Kansas State would be foolhardy when one team has taken the last 10 meetings straight-up. Plus, Kansas has stumbled to 35 consecutive ranked opponents, though K-State barely qualifies at No. 25. The Wildcats have bumped off TCU and Oklahoma in their last two outings, so the only concern is a letdown. That is unlikely for this in-state rivalry. The 'Cats have covered in seven of the last 10 roadies, so this brief commute should be a breeze for them. Lay it.

Georgia Tech has had a week off since coming up with a huge 28-21 upset at Miami (-18). It was the second win of the season and first cover in the last 10 games dating back to last season. Last week Miami regrouped from the loss and won at Pittsburgh, 16-12. It stopped Pitt’s four-game win streak. I’m chalking up both those games against Miami as an aberration and I expect both to go back to their true form, which means the price under double-digits is cheap. Pittsburgh is the play.

Both teams come off huge wins, but Kansas State's 48-41 win against Oklahoma as 23.5-point underdogs rates a little higher than Kansas beating Texas Tech (-6). The Jayhawks have now covered three straight. Kansas almost snuck up on K-State last season in a 21-17 loss, but despite Kansas losing 10 straight to K-State, the Jayhawks are not sneaking up on anyone. Everyone now knows they’re a different and dangerous Kansas squad. There's no letdown for K-State on Saturday. The 'Cats cover.

Nebraska has lost its last two games, but it didn’t have QB Adrian Martinez. He gave an indication this week that he will be starting against Purdue. The Boilermakers sunk to new depths with a home loss to Illinois last week. Backup QB Jack Plummer has been horrendous and star WR Rondale Moore has been missing since week 5. Nebraska is the play.

PITTSBURGH @ GEORGIA TECH | 11/02 | 4:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:29 PM
Georgia Tech has had a week off since coming up with a huge 28-21 upset at Miami (-18). It was the second win of the season and first cover in the last 10 games dating back to last season. Last week Miami regrouped from the loss and won at Pittsburgh, 16-12. It stopped Pitt’s four-game win streak. I’m chalking up both those games against Miami as an aberration and I expect both to go back to their true form, which means the price under double-digits is cheap. Pittsburgh is the play.

Both teams come off huge wins, but Kansas State's 48-41 win against Oklahoma as 23.5-point underdogs rates a little higher than Kansas beating Texas Tech (-6). The Jayhawks have now covered three straight. Kansas almost snuck up on K-State last season in a 21-17 loss, but despite Kansas losing 10 straight to K-State, the Jayhawks are not sneaking up on anyone. Everyone now knows they’re a different and dangerous Kansas squad. There's no letdown for K-State on Saturday. The 'Cats cover.

VIRGINIA TECH @ NOTRE DAME | 11/02 | 2:30 PM EDT
THU 10/31
At first glance, the points appear to be an awfully tempting take in this one. Upon further review, there's a better chance they end up as fool's gold. Barring a flat spot following their beatdown at Michigan, the Irish should have too much firepower for an improved Virginia Tech club. The Hokies come off a bye rising a three-game winning streak, but their vulnerable defense already has allowed 35 or more points four times this year. None of those opponents are as explosive as the Irish, who cover this provided they come out determined to erase last week from their minds.

The Gators allowed more than 500 yards of total offense in their loss to LSU, followed by allowing nearly 400 to South Carolina in a game in which several breaks fell their way. Georgia responded to its loss to the Gamecocks with a shutout of Kentucky. Although the Bulldogs have lacked imagination and explosive plays on offense, look for them to come out refocused after the bye and see increased production. Their edge on defense is what makes the difference Saturday in this rivalry contest.

This is a huge game in the ACC Coastal race. There's little doubt the Cavaliers have are the more talented team but they've only played like it in spurts. A dominating win over Duke was followed by a letdown last week against Louisville. They have a chance to step up when it matters most, and that is Saturday against North Carolina in a battle that likely will determine a berth in the title game.

The Ducks barely escaped against Washington State last week with a field goal at the horn. The Trojans did the same in overcoming a double-digit deficit at Colorado to keep their Pac-12 hopes alive. Both clubs are well-equipped for a shootout, but the edge goes to Oregon with an experienced Heisman candidate at QB in Justin Herbert, the better defense and superior depth.

MON 10/28
Now that Washington's Pac-12 title hopes are shot amid a surprising three conference losses, the best the Huskies can do is spoil Utah's bid to come out of the South Division and reach the title game. Recent history suggests they will do just that. Washington swept two from the Utes last year, including the title game. They are the one Pac-12 club capable of matching Utah's physicality and, while the Utes are efficient on offense, they don't have the type of firepower that helped Oregon overcome a two-touchdown deficit against Washington. The underdog is a major value against this key number.

This is now a rivalry after Utah State won the last two games. BYU starts third string QB Baylor Romney, and Utah State's QB, Jordan Love, has struggled in 2019. Love has completed less than 60 percent of his passes for an awful 6.6 yards per pass with just eight touchdown passes and nine interceptions.

Hooker is passing for 9.5 yards per attempt with seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. Meanwhile Notre Dame comes in off of a demoralizing loss at Michigan, so I'm not sure what type of motivation the Irish have. Take Tech.

Northwestern has its backs to the wall after a 1-6 start, however, the Wildcats have played the No. 1 schedule in the country. Clemson transfer QB Hunter Johnson returns after missing the last three games due to personal matters. Johnson is a big upgrade at QB.

Utah also runs the ball 65 percent of the time, with Washington running it 55 percent. The Under is 10-2 in Washington's last 12 games as an underdog. Under is the play.

Both defenses are better than their offenses, and they both have better scoring numbers than yards per play numbers on both sides. Georgia is No. 11 in yards per play but just No. 26 in scoring. Its defense is No. 9 in yards per play allowed but No. 5 in points against. Florida is No. 35 in yards per play but just No. 45 in scoring and No. 44 in yards per play allowed but a solid No. 12 in points allowed. Florida also returns its two best defensive players from injury, both pass rushing defensive ends. Under is the play.

On average over the last five meetings at Wake, NC State has been a 1.5 point favorite. Deacon Demons starting QB Jamie Newman is questionable.

The true freshman has completed 64.2 percent of his passes in October, which shows that things are starting to click. The Cowboys have a star in running back Chuba Hubbard, but the Horned Frogs have the best run defense in the conference (103.71 yards per game).

The Jayhawks defense has given up a whopping 537 yards per game in Big 12 action this year, and have given up 483 or more for four straight games. The Wildcats build off of last week's upset of Oklahoma and pull away late for a cover.

Utah's defense has played out of its mind since falling to USC in late September, and that will continue against a Huskies team that has been hit or miss this season. The Utes have given up just 2.76 yards per play in three October games and the Huskies have gained just 5.76 yards per play in conference games this year -- eighth in the Pac-12. This will be an old school slugfest with Utah pulling away late to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive.

I put in a separate pick in which I took Miami ATS, but I love the Canes straight up just as much. As I said there, Miami is the better team than Florida State. I know the game is in Tallahassee, but I don't care. FSU's offensive line is bad, and Miami's defensive front is as good as ever. it's a major mismatch that Miami will take advantage of.

Of these two teams, Tulsa prefers to play at the much quicker pace, but I don't see Tulane allowing that to happen. The Wave should control this game from the outset, and as a team that runs the ball over 60 percent of the time, will control the clock as well. That plus some high winds in Yulman Stadium will suppress the scoring enough to stay beneath this total.

These are two teams that are led by their defenses, even if they play different styles. Florida is more aggressive, and looks to disrupt. Georgia prefers to play the long game, and make you beat it over time. Both are effective at what they do, and both will be effective in this game. That's why I like the Under. The fact it's 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings doesn't hurt, either.

The combined record of the FBS teams the Blazers have played is 10-37, and half those 10 wins belong to the Western Kentucky team that beat the Blazers.

Plus, the Tigers are at home, and the Liberty Bowl will be packed with Gameday in town as this is one of the biggest games of the week. The fact SMU could be without its top receiver and big play threat Reggie Roberson would also be a big blow to the Mustangs offense.

I have a difficult time trusting Oregon coach Mario Cristobal to not make life more difficult on his team than he needs to, but I think this matchup is foolproof for him. USC is banged up on defense, and has had problems stopping the run when healthy. Now it will be up against an Oregon offensive line that is one of the best in the country, and when Cristobal gets a chance to bludgeon an opponent, he does. Plus, having played Wazzu last week, Oregon already knows what to expect from Mike Leach disciple Graham Harrell's offense.

Wake Forest is the better football team in this matchup, but with Winston-Salem's proximity to Raleigh, as well as the size of the NC State fanbase, there's a good chance there will be more red in the stands for this one than gold and black.

Utah has been fantastic on the road during the College Football Playoff Era. Since 2014 the Utes are 21-10 ATS on the road, but that number is a bit misleading. They're 11-1 ATS as a road dog, but are 10-9 ATS as a road favorite. Then there's Washington, which might not be great as a dog itself under Chris Petersen, but has played well against Utah. The Huskies have won four straight games between these two, and while I don't know that they win this one, I have a hard time thinking they won't cover.

This line makes no sense to me at all.
I've made plenty of money fading the Syracuse Orangemen this year as Dino Babers group has not lived up to its potential. They have also been dealing with a very young OL that can't protect their QB Tommy Devito. He's been all over the place as their QB this year. This is a reciepe for disaster against a BC team that has two 240 pound rushers coming in that are pissed off at getting run over by Clemson last week.
Syracuse thus far this year is 0-5 against Power Five teams. Their defensive numbers are a bit padded as they faced Liberty and Holy Cross early on but make no mistake about it. They have issues stopping the run. They gave up 241 yards on the ground to Florida State and lost, they gave up 145 yards on the ground to Pittsburgh and lost and they gave up 201 yards on the ground and won that game only because Tommy Devito was able to throw the ball against a terrible Western Michigan defense.
Boston College strenght is in their OL and running game. They averages 77 plays per game and most of it comes via the run. The Eagles have a RB that will most likely be playing on Sunday's in AJ Dillon and have also groomed David Bailey to be his replacement. Both are monster runners who will have no problem gashing this Syracuse defense for big yardage. BC had a huge game against what was the ACC number one defense against the RUN, North Carolina State, as AJ Dillon ran for 223 yards and three touchdowns & David Bailey had two long TD runs with 181 yards.
The Syracuse Orangement can't stop anyone from sacking their QB either. Syracuse offense ranks outside the top 100 in red zone points per attempt, penalty yards and are dead last in sacks.
This game is way closer to either a pick-em or Boston College as a slight favorite on the road in this matchup. If you can grab a FG right now with this game, don't hesitate to play it.
I'm betting the BC Eagles rush for well over 200 yards and win outright in what will be another game that Syracuse can't stop the run.
