Note: Lines displayed are Caesars Sportsbook lines as of Wednesday night.

Friday's games
Virginia Tech Hokies (-2.5) at Virginia Cavaliers
Connelly: In this space so far this season, I have successfully picked UMass and Rutgers to cover. Now I'm going to make my riskiest pick yet: I'm picking Virginia to cover a +2.5 line against Virginia Tech, which is very nearly like saying, "I'm picking Virginia to beat Virginia Tech," something the Hoos haven't done since 2003. It's terrifying, but hear me out.
Can you throw out the records during college football Rivalry Week?
1. The numbers back me up ... sort of. Tech has surged since getting its doors blown off by Duke midseason; the Hokies have covered in six consecutive games and have risen from 75th to 42nd in SP+. However, unlike some teams experiencing midseason surges, SP+ has had a pretty good read on the Hokies. It has projected them to cover in four of the past five games and is therefore 4-1 against the spread (ATS) in those games. So when it says that this line is an overreaction and disagrees with it pretty significantly (there's a 6.5-point difference between SP+ and the midweek line), I'm going to listen. Plus, SP+ is hitting 58% against the midweek spread when it disagrees with Vegas between six and nine points.
2. Hey man, it's in the prophecy. The ACC Coastal was destined to have seven different champions in seven years, and we've had six in six. Virginia's the only one left. And if prophecies don't sway you to put your actual money on the line, then refer back to reason No. 1. It's pretty good, I think.
Pick: Virginia +2.5

Miami RedHawks at Ball State Cardinals (-3.5)
Steele: Chuck Martin is 1-11 ATS in nonconference play the past three years but is 23-7 his past 30 MAC games and on a 12-3 ATS run the past 15 MAC games. Last week, the RedHawks had clinched the East, went through the motions against Akron and won by only three points. They have had nine days off since then and need to regain momentum before next week's MAC championship game. The past four weeks, Ball State has allowed 521 yards per game on defense. These two have faced four common opponents in MAC play, and while the RedHawks have outgained those four foes by 21 yards per game, the Cardinals have been outgained by 116 yards per game. Ball State is playing on a short week with just six days' rest, and the visitor is 9-3 straight up the past 12 meetings.
ATS pick: Miami +3.5

Iowa Hawkeyes (-6) at Nebraska Cornhuskers
Johnson: As evidenced by last week's Iowa game against Illinois -- and every other game Kirk Ferentz has coached -- the Hawkeyes do just enough to get by with a win. I had bet Iowa early in the week at -12 and -12.5 and was pumped come kickoff Saturday when the line was -15 in the majority of the market. It never really came close despite the Hawkeyes opening the game with their only touchdown drive. They just don't have an aggressive-enough game plan to blow competent teams out. I also think the Cornhuskers' offense and pace of play can give Iowa fits (they will be the fastest team the Hawkeyes will have faced this season). My projection is Nebraska +2.9 anyway, so I'm taking the six points in a game the Cornhuskers need to win to reach a bowl game for the first time under Scott Frost.
Pick: Nebraska +6

Saturday's games
Alabama Crimson Tide (-3.5, 50) at Auburn Tigers
Johnson: There's not much to this one outside of my projections making it pick-em and the market offering +3.5. I know about all of the playoff implications for Alabama and its "win it for Tua" mentality, but Mac Jones is a downgrade under center, and going into Jordan-Hare Stadium in this rivalry matchup will be the wildest atmosphere he has ever played in.
There is nothing the Tigers would like more than to officially eliminate the Crimson Tide from playoff consideration. Auburn has faced the toughest schedule in the country and is better defensively than Alabama despite it (the teams rank ninth and 17th, respectively). I'll take the 3.5 points with the home team and better defense. War Eagle.
Pick: Auburn +3.5

Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-16.5) at Stanford Cardinal
Kezirian: We see plenty of one-sided rivalry affairs, and I think we are headed for one on The Farm. Stanford just lost to its true rival, Cal, last weekend and now is guaranteed to miss a bowl game for the first time since 2008, Jim Harbaugh's second season in Palo Alto. Furthering this team's rarity, the Cardinal currently rank 69th in offensive efficiency and 88th in defensive efficiency, the school's lowest defensive ranking since ESPN began calculating the metric in 2005. In short, this is an outlier season for David Shaw, plagued with injuries, that finally ends Saturday. As for matching up with the Fighting Irish, Stanford just lacks the necessary firepower to hang with a Notre Dame team that is beating up inferior teams, defeating each of its past three opponents by at least 30 points. I am somewhat concerned about heavy rain in the forecast and how it could produce a low-scoring game. But I'm still backing the Irish because I believe in their ability to finish strong and position themselves for a New Year's Six bowl.
Pick: Notre Dame -16.5

Army Black Knights at Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors (-2.5)
Kezirian: This play is all about the situational handicap. Hawai'i just clinched the Mountain West's West Division and secured a spot in next week's conference championship game for the first time since joining the MWC eight years ago. How much do you think the team wants to prepare for Army's unique triple-option flexbone offense? I am anticipating the Rainbow Warriors want no part of it, given 20th-ranked Boise State awaits them in the conference title game. I think focus and preparation are a major concern, and we might even see some key defensive players sit out the second half or not even dress because defending Army's blocking schemes is more of an injury concern than that of conventional offenses. Additionally, Hawai'i already struggles against the run, ranking 121st out of 130 FBS teams in yards allowed per rush attempt. I expect an unfocused Hawai'i team and for the Black Knights to move the ball with ease.
Pick: Army +2.5

Steele: The Black Knights are fresh off a bye and need to get to six wins. Last season, Army held Hawai'i to 362 total yards, and Army's defense allows just 324 yards per game this season. Traditionally, an option offense gets more potent as the season goes on, and Army is averaging 490 yards per game total offense and 5.9 yards per carry the past four weeks. Like Doug mentioned, Hawai'i has the Mountain West title game next week in Boise, Idaho, and in between those two tough games has to prepare for the option and cut blocking of Army. The Warriors yielded 353 rush yards and 6.9 YPC earlier this season against an option team in Air Force. The rest, situation and need to reach six wins all line up with Army.
ATS pick: Army +2.5

Johnson: This one is easy for me. How is a Hawai'i defense that gave up 56 to Air Force when it saw the option earlier this season -- and ranks 121st against the run on the season -- going to suddenly learn how to defend it the week after clinching its first-ever Mountain West division crown with the championship game on deck? Army is coming off its bye week with extra preparation time and rest, which is even more helpful given the lengthy travel to the island. Hawai'i's strength is attacking through the air offensively, and the forecast calls for 18-23 mph winds. An Army victory puts the Black Knights in a bowl game, and I think they get it done.
Pick: Army +2.5

Indiana Hoosiers (-6.5) at Purdue Boilermakers
Connelly: In both 2017 and 2018, Indiana started the season reasonably strong, then got pummeled by the Big Ten East's big boys and faded. The Hoosiers headed into their huge rivalry game against Purdue each season needing a victory for bowl eligibility and lost.
Here are two reasons why history won't repeat this season:
1. Indiana's already clinched a bowl! The Hoosiers started 7-2 and peaked at 19th in SP+. They've dropped two in a row to heavyweights (they nearly took down Penn State, then got drubbed by Michigan) and are fully on Slump Watch now, but the pressure of reaching the postseason is already off the table at least.
2. Purdue is just not very good. The Boilermakers are on their 17th quarterback (OK, fourth), star receiver Rondale Moore is doubtful and the defense isn't good enough. Purdue is 0-5 against SP+ top-40 teams this season, with an average scoring margin of minus-17. The 6.5-point line is Indiana-friendly, and SP+ projects the Hoosiers to win by 12.1. That gives us a little bit of a slump cushion.
Pick: Indiana -6.5

Wisconsin Badgers (-3) at Minnesota Golden Gophers
Connelly: This line surprised me a bit. Minnesota has covered against the midweek line in seven of its past eight games, and the Golden Gophers' only blemish was a tight game in the Upset Hell known as Iowa City. Wisconsin, meanwhile, has failed to cover in four of its past five. If anything, I expected to find a little bit of value on Wisconsin's side here.
Instead, we get to pick the home 'dog. And if you're a fan of short-term trend data, that's an exciting thing. So far this season, road teams favored by three or fewer points are 17-34 (33%) against the midweek spread, and SP+ is 31-19-1 ATS (62%) picking these games. When SP+ is picking the home underdog, then, that feels like Best Bet territory to me.
Pick: Minnesota +3

Tulane Green Wave at SMU Mustangs (-3.5)
Connelly: Historically, a 3.5-point road underdog covers about 54% of the time, and in the short term, SP+ is 16-7 against the midweek spread picking games with this line. (It's picked the underdog 15 of 23 times, and it's picking Tulane here.) So this is a pretty friendly situation to begin with.
The depth of the American Athletic Conference has begun to drown Tulane a bit; the Green Wave have lost four of five to fall to 6-5 overall, but all four losses were to teams that SP+ likes more than SMU (Memphis, Navy, Temple, UCF), and three were by a touchdown or less. They still rank 39th overall despite the record.
At the same time, SMU is kind of stumbling toward the finish line. The Mustangs needed tight wins over teams far worse than Tulane (Tulsa, Houston) to reach 8-0, and they've lost two of three since. Both losses were by a touchdown, too, but they've sunk to 50th in SP+, which is treating this game like a toss-up. Maybe Senior Day, or the possible return of receiver Reggie Roberson Jr. (he's listed as questionable), can spark something here, but even with a couple of Tulane running backs banged up, I like the Green Wave's chances here, especially with the friendly line.
Pick: Tulane +3.5

Miami Hurricanes (-9) at Duke Blue Devils
Connelly: Miami has had probably the strangest season of any good-on-paper team since Notre Dame went 4-8 in 2016. That season, the Fighting Irish managed to finish 18th in SP+ because of the fluky nature of the losses themselves -- they were 1-7 in one-score finishes, and even that doesn't describe some of the randomness they were dealing with.
The Hurricanes' record isn't as bad: They are 3-5 in one-score finishes and 6-5 overall. But per my postgame win expectancy number -- in which I take all the key predictive metrics from a given game, toss them into the air, and say, "With these stats, you could have expected to win this game X% of the time" -- they have managed to lose four games with a postgame win expectancy of 70% or higher. Even '16 Notre Dame lost only two such games.

SP+ has stubbornly continued to believe in the Canes, then, believing that these crazy losses are indeed the result of randomness and continuing to rank them in the 20s. If it is right about that, then this game is a slam-dunk Best Bet. Duke is crumbling to the ground, having lost five games in a row (average scoring margin: minus-22.6) and four of five against the midweek spread. The Blue Devils have fallen from 44th to 73rd in SP+. SP+ says Miami by 13.7. I'll go with that, no matter how nervous it makes me.
Pick: Miami -9

Steele: Coach Manny Diaz called last week's loss to Florida International one of the worst losses in school history. Miami is 18-11 ATS its past 29 games as an away favorite, and last season Duke won in Miami for the first time since 1976. Duke has now lost five in a row by 26.6 points per game and is minus-175 yards per game in those five losses.
In the past four weeks, Duke has allowed 278 rushing yards per game and 5.8 YPC. The Hurricanes had won three in a row ATS before last week and will now be angry, focused and playing with revenge on their minds.
ATS pick: Miami -9

Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles at Florida Atlantic Owls (-9)
Steele: In 2017, Lane Kiffin had a bowl-caliber squad and went 10-3-1 ATS with the Owls' 11 wins by 26.6 PPG. This season, he has a bowl-caliber squad, and FAU is 7-3-1 ATS, with its eight outright wins by 21.3 PPG. FAU can wrap up a spot in the Conference USA title game with a victory here. Southern Miss has lost only four games this season, but those losses were by 24.5 PPG and none closer than 15 points. The Golden Eagles allow only 286 yards per game at home but 411 yards per game on the road. Oklahoma transfer quarterback Chris Robison has been much improved for the Owls, hitting 63% of his passes with a 19-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Mackey Finalist tight end Harrison Bryant leads the team with 890 receiving yards. Last week, they added Alabama transfer BJ Emmons, who rushed for 53 yards and should have a more significant impact this week.
ATS pick: Florida Atlantic -9

North Carolina Tar Heels (-9) at NC State Wolfpack
Steele: The records are similar, but that is about all that is close with this matchup. North Carolina could easily have double-digit wins right now, as its losses have been by 4.3 points per game with none greater than seven points. The Tar Heels came within a missed 2-point conversion of knocking off Clemson. NC State has suffered a myriad of injuries this season, especially on defense, and six of its losses were by an average of 24.8 PPG. Over the past four weeks, North Carolina is plus-99 yards per game, and the Wolfpack are minus-75 yards per game. Both teams are starting true freshman QBs, but Sam Howell for North Carolina is completing 59.4% of his passes with 32 touchdowns, while NC State's Devin Leary is hitting just 49.5% of his attempts, with seven TD passes.
ATS pick: North Carolina -9

Wyoming Cowboys at Air Force Falcons (-11)
Johnson: This line shocked me quite a bit. Since Craig Bohl has taken over the coaching duties in Laramie, the Cowboys have beaten Air Force four of five years, holding the Falcons to just 22.2 PPG. Wyoming's defense and plan of attack offensively -- running the ball heavily with one of the slowest paces in the country -- haven't changed. The total in this matchup is currently lined 42, and I find it hard to believe an option team that Bohl teams have fared well against in the past is going to cover a number in double digits. There won't be many possessions in this game, and Wyoming ranks No. 6 in the nation defending the run, allowing only 2.8 yards per attempt. My projection considering a compressed game script with limited possessions is only Wyoming +7.8. I'm taking the 11.
Pick: Wyoming +11

Oklahoma Sooners (-12.5) at Oklahoma State Cowboys
Johnson: The Sooners are just squeaking by in these games! While they have won their past three by four or fewer points, Oklahoma has dominated the box scores outside of the actual score. Take a look at last week's game against TCU, for example. Oklahoma had 30 first downs to TCU's 11, and gained 511 yards to TCU's 204. The Sooners even possessed the ball for nearly 40 minutes compared to the Horned Frogs' 20. It requires a lot of misfortune to win that game by only four points. OU has been better than most people realize, and I think it's a pretty good time to buy facing an Oklahoma State team down to its backup quarterback, Dru Brown.
Brown & Co. managed to get a win at West Virginia on Saturday despite getting outgained in the game, but they really struggled offensively at times, racking up just 285 yards. The Cowboys averaged 483 this season and hadn't gained fewer than 400. My projection is Oklahoma -16.3, so I laid the big number most people try to avoid in a rivalry matchup.
Pick: Oklahoma -12.5

Stanford Steve & Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica:
'Stanford Steve' and 'The Bear': Week 14 college football picks, bets, nuggets

The plays
Stanford Steve (3-0-1 last week, 35-27-3 overall)
The Bear (1-4 last week, 30-29-1 overall)

Ole Miss Rebels at Mississippi State Bulldogs (-2.5, 58)
Stanford Steve: I might be a little biased here because I recently went to my first game at The Grove, but I feel like the Rebels are playing better and the offense has found some serious juice with freshman quarterback John Rhys Plumlee under center. I'll take the road team getting the points in the Egg Bowl.
Pick: Ole Miss +2.5; Ole Miss 31, Mississippi State 27

The Bear: I agree with the opener, which had the Rebels favored. What has State done lately to make one think it should be favored here? Maybe the allure of beating a rival and qualifying for whatever bowl SEC 9 heads to will be enough, but I'm not feeling it. The Rebels have been far more impressive -- and competitive -- vs. better competition, especially as the year has progressed, and I expect Plumlee to have a day here.
Pick: Ole Miss +2.5

Maryland Terrapins at Michigan State Spartans (-22, 48.5)
Stanford Steve: After a promising start, it really feels as if the dirty Terps have given up on the season.
Pick: Michigan State -22; Michigan State 34, Maryland 10

Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Penn State Nittany Lions (-40, 49.5)
Stanford Steve: If James Franklin can score 80, he will.
Pick: Penn State -40; Penn State 63, Rutgers 10

The Bear: Rutgers has been shut out four times in Big Ten play this year and there's a good chance a fifth shutout is on tap. This could be like Penn State-Maryland bad after Penn State's comeback fell short last week in Columbus. I would think there's a good chance Will Levis will get more time at quarterback -- and that would be a good thing. But even if Sean Clifford is back, this has the feel of a 42-0, 49-7 type of game.
Pick: Penn State -40

Bowling Green Falcons at Buffalo Bulls (-28, 51.5)
The Bear: Can't imagine Bowling Green will be too excited to be getting on the plane here. Remove the win over Akron and the Falcons' past three games are losses by 39, 31 and 42. This team is 2-8 ATS this year and now has to end the season on the road against a Buffalo team that has probably exceeded expectations, been an offensive machine late in the year and really should be carrying a five-game winning streak into this one. Buffalo beat the Falcons by 30 on the road last year, and I see little reason not to expect a similar result this year.
Pick: Buffalo -28

Iowa Hawkeyes (-5.5, 45) at Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Bear: The Huskers' offense has actually played very well the past few weeks, and although the Iowa defense is legit, the Hawkeyes' offense isn't going to scare many people. This is a huge game for the Huskers. If they can pull the upset, this season can be viewed as progress, even if it's not the type of progress many people had hoped for. But a bowl game would be a huge step for a team that was 4-8 each of the past two years. This was a three-point game in Iowa City last year and I expect another close one -- if not an outright Huskers win.
Pick: Nebraska +5.5

Vanderbilt Commodores at Tennessee Volunteers (-21, 46.5)
The Bear: Tennessee is going to end the year on a five-game winning streak; the question is whether the Vols can cover the big number and extend their ATS streak to seven. I'll say they do. After losing to the Commodores by double-digits each of the past three years, this feels like one of those "bill has come due" type of games. The Vols are playing their best football of the season, and outside of a stunning upset over Missouri and a win over an FCS opponent, Vandy has lost eight games by at least 17 and six games by at least 24, including each of its past two losses.
Pick: Tennessee -21

Cincinnati Bearcats at Memphis Tigers (-11, 57)
The Bear: This has a "lay it and laugh" feel to it. The Bearcats have the look of a team that has peaked. They probably should have lost the past two weeks if not for USF missing four field-goal attempts and Cincy getting a return of a blocked PAT vs. Temple. Cincinnati hasn't played well for weeks. And now the game means absolutely nothing as the Bearcats are in next week's AAC title game. I guess they could try and avoid having to play the Tigers again next week by getting the win here, but this screams like a great spot for Memphis, which needs the game and is far superior on the offensive and special teams units. Since the controversial loss at Temple, the Tigers haven't scored fewer than 42 in any game.
Pick: Memphis -11

Fresno State Bulldogs at San Jose State Spartans (-3, 65.5)
The Bear: Like Ole Miss, I agree with Circa's opener of San Jose State -2. This is not the Fresno team of the past couple of years. The Bulldogs have lost three straight -- the last one coming as a double-digit home favorite over Nevada -- and will miss out on a bowl. San Jose State will miss out on a bowl too, but a potential 5-7 season with near misses vs. Boise State and Hawaii -- the two teams playing for the MWC title -- has to be seen as progress for a team that went 1-11 last year and 2-11 in 2017. San Diego State has been the only MWC team to really slow down Josh Love and the Spartans' offense. And after throwing four picks in a surprising loss to UNLV, I'd be surprised if Love and the Spartans didn't play a cleaner game and end the season on a high note.
Pick: San Jose State +3

Stay-away games
The Bear
Oklahoma Sooners (-13.5, 69.5) at Oklahoma State Cowboys
I can't trust OU to cover a big number right now, nor do I have a ton of confidence the shorthanded Cowboys offense will score a ton. It's a complete pass for me.

Oregon State Beavers at Oregon Ducks (-19, 66)
How will either team respond to last week's season-crushing losses? The Ducks still have a Pac-12 title to play for next week regardless of what happens Saturday, and the Beavers were so close to becoming bowl eligible last week. Now they have to try and pull a big upset again to get to six wins. Your guess is as good as mine.

Miami Hurricanes (-9, 46.5) at Duke Blue Devils
A lot of money has come in on Miami, but no way could I lay a big number with the Canes, who have been about as awful a favorite as there is. But how can you back Duke with any confidence?

Bear Bytes
Sooners squeaking by
Oklahoma is the first AP top-10 team to win three straight games by four points or fewer since Oregon in 2000.

Tide on upset alert
The past seven times Alabama was a favorite of less than seven points, the Tide are just 3-4 straight up and covered only once. The Tide are currently a 3.5-point favorite at Jordan-Hare.
Alabama's last seven games favored by less than 7:
2019: Alabama -5 vs. LSU, lost by 5
2018: Alabama -5.5 vs. Clemson, lost by 28
2017: Alabama -3.5 vs. Georgia, won by 3
2017: Alabama -3.5 vs. Clemson, won by 18
2017: Alabama -5 at Auburn, lost by 12
2016: Alabama -6 vs. Clemson, lost by 4
2015: Alabama -6.5 vs. Clemson, won by 5

Owning the Apple Cup
Washington is 8-2 ATS in its past 10 meetings vs. Washington State. The Huskies have won six straight and nine of 10 in the series.

Miami making the wrong kind of history
With the loss to FIU, Miami became the only team in the past 40 years to lose three times as a 14-point favorite in a single season. The Canes lost to Virginia Tech as a 14-point favorite, Georgia Tech as an 18.5-point favorite and to FIU as 21-point favorite. Miami also won just 17-12 as a 30.5-point favorite vs. Central Michigan.
In its past 13 games as a favorite, Miami has lost eight of them outright.

Vols on a roll
Tennessee has covered six straight and is laying 22 this week vs. Vanderbilt. The Vols have won one SEC game by 22 points since the start of the 2016 season -- a 63-37 win against Missouri in 2016.

Think twice before laying points with Ohio State?
Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in its past five games as a favorite against Michigan. OSU has won 14 of 15 on the field vs. Michigan.

Ole Miss undervalued
Ole Miss has covered six of its past seven games. The lone ATS loss was a 7-point loss to Texas A&M as a 6-point underdog.

Bad favorites in Big 12 play
Texas is 3-9 ATS in its past 12 games as a favorite in a Big 12 game.

It has been a while since Nebraska pulled an upset
Nebraska has been an underdog three times this year. The Huskers didn't cover any of them, losing to Wisconsin by 16 as a 14-point underdog, Minnesota by 27 as a 7.5-point 'dog and by 41 as a 17-point 'dog vs. Ohio State. In its past 20 games as an underdog, the Huskers have pulled one upset -- a 25-24 win over Purdue as a 4-point 'dog in 2017.
Dating to 2015, Iowa has been favored by less than six points in a Big Ten game six times; the Hawkeyes have won and covered all six.

Rowing the boat to victory
In his past seven games as an underdog, P.J. Fleck's teams have won six outright and lost by four at Iowa as a 3.5-point underdog.

Where there's a Wil, there's a way
In 24 games as an underdog under Justin Wilcox, Cal is 16-8 ATS and has won 10 outright, including four of the past seven instances.

Wyoming a tough out
Wyoming has been an underdog five times this year. The five games resulted in an outright win as a 16.5-point 'dog and four losses by a combined 15 points.

Which way do you want to go?
Virginia Tech is 3-7-1 ATS in its past 11 games as a road favorite with four outright losses. The Hokies have won 15 straight over Virginia and are 10-4-1 ATS during that stretch.

The 'I have too much time on my hands' note of the week
4-7 Ball State is favored over 7-4 Miami (OH) this week. In the past 40 years there have been just four other instances of a team 4-7 or worse after 11 games favored over a team 7-4 or better through 11 games. None of the four covered and three of the four lost outright.
2017: UMass vs. FIU, lost by 18
2011: Arizona vs. Louisiana, won by 8
2009: Illinois vs. Fresno State, lost by 1
2003: Alabama vs. Hawaii, lost by 8

Play on: UNDER 43½ -110

1* NCAAF - Free Pick on Northwestern/Illinois under 43½ -110

I just don't see these two teams eclipsing 40 points, making this an easy play on the UNDER. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this thing ended with fewer than 30 points. Last week Illinois played Iowa to a 19-10 final and it's just hard to get excited about offense in a game that involves Northwestern.

Wildcats are averaging 15.2 ppg and 285 ypg on the season and that number drops to 8.7 ppg and 239 ypg. There's nothing for Northwestern to be excited about with this matchup and It wouldn't shock me if they didn't score at all.

I just don't think Illinois' offense will be able to do enough damage to push this OVER the mark. Illini are pretty run heavy team, a shtey only average 180 passing yards/game. Northwestern's defense isn't all that bad and they are much better suited at stopping the run than the pass.

UNDER is 4-0 in the Wildcats last 4 road games. It's also 6-2 in Illinois' last 8 vs a team with a losing record, 4-1 in their last 5 conference games and 6-1 in their last 7 off a cover. Take the UNDER!

Play on: OVER 50½ -110

Take Over the Total in the game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines. Ohio State (11-0) enters this game coming off a 28-17 win over Penn State last week. The Nittany Lions have then played 21 of their last 28 games Over the Total after not allowing more than 20 points in their last game.

This situational query has earned a solid 40-13 UNDER record for 76% winning bets over the last five seasons. The requirements are to Under with any team against the total after going under the total by 49 or more points total in their last seven games, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season.

Kentucky is 8-1 UNDER facing good offensive teams averaging >=425 yards-per-game over the last two seasons.

From the machine learning summary projections we learn that the Ravens are just 6-17 ATS (-12.7 Units) in road games after a win by 21 or more points. Look for Goff to get going tonight – finally – as the Rams are projected to average 7 or more yards-per-pass attempt. The Rams are 26-12-3 for 68% since 2010 when they have gained 7.5 YPPA.

10* FREE NCAAF PICK (Indiana -6.5)

I'll take my chances here with the Hoosiers closing out the regular season with a win and cover on the road against the Boilermakers. I just don't trust Purdue at all in this spot. The Boilermakers came into this season with some lofty expectations, but with last weeks loss at Wisconsin they are officially eliminated from postseason play.

Indiana on the other hand is enjoying one of their best seasons in a long time. The Hoosiers are 7-4 and have not won 8 games since 1993. Indiana's only 4 losses this season have come against the likes of Ohio State, Michigan State, Penn State and Michigan. They covered both road games in those losses, losing by 9 as a 14-point dog at Sparty and by 7 as a 15-point dog at the Nittany Lions.

Purdue's only 4 wins are against the likes of Nebraska, Northwestern, Maryland and Vanderbilt, who will all will miss out on a bowl. Injuries have played a big role in their struggles. Either way, I don't think they can hang with the Hoosiers in this one. Give me Indiana -6.5!

The Nevada Wolf Pack are far and away the better team in this rivalry with UNLV. The Wolf Pack are 7-4 this season and come in playing well at 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last three games overall. That includes road upsets over San Diego State as 17.5-point dogs and Fresno State as 13-point dogs. And now they want to avenge their 29-34 upset loss at UNLV last year as 14-point favorites. UNLV won their Super Bowl last week by beating San Jose State 38-35 in the final home game ever at Sam Boyd Stadium. They were aided by five turnovers by SJSU and didn’t deserve to win. Now UNLV hits the road where they are 1-4 this season and losing by 15.4 points per game. Nevada is 4-1 at home this season and should have no problem winning by at least a touchdown here. The Rebels are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games off a SU win. The Rebels are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games off an ATS win. The Wolf Pack are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 against a team with a losing record. The Wolf Pack are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games in the second half of the season. The Wolf Pack are 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games against teams that allows a completion percentage of 58% or worse. Give me Nevada.
