Arizona State at California
The Sun Devils entered the bye with a solid road victory at Washington. Now after a week off they prepare for a tough trip to play the Golden Bears. Arizona State has never been a good conference road underdog putting up a 6-20-1 spread record the last 9+ years in that role. Under Dennis Erickson they are just 1-6-1 as a conference road dog in his tenure. They have also really struggled at Cal posting a 1-4 straight up and 0-5 spread mark in Berkeley. Off a satisfying road win at Washington we feel the Sun Devils will come out a bit sluggish.
Cal was thoroughly embarrassed last week at USC as they were never in that game. But now they are back home off an embarrassing loss and playing a team they have dominated here. Cal is 7-2 as a conference home favorite and 12-3 ATS overall at Memorial Stadium as of late. They have outscored the opposition on this field 139-17 thus far this season including blowout wins over Colorado and UCLA. The Bears have beaten the Sun Devils here by margins of 10, 28 and 27 points the last three home meetings. Cal is 3-0 with three spread covers here while 0-3 with two spread losses on the road. The last four plus seasons Cal is 25-4 straight up at home but just 9-16 outright on the road. The Cal home field advantage here is huge and it's not given enough credit in this match-up.

Nebraska Huskers vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys
Play: Nebraska Huskers -5½
Oklahoma State has certainly impressed on the surface TY. However, if you look closely, you will see that their level of competition has not been “top-shelf.” This is a tricky situation for the Cowboys. You see, sports fans, as a ‘dog, Oklahoma State won outright LW over Texas Tech while a heavily-favored Nebraska lost outright to Texas. The oddsmakers are looking at this game and giving the Cowboys too much credit and the Huskers not enough credit. Texas took down Nebraska LW because they are a defensive-oriented club that had an extra week to prepare for them. They caught the Cornhuskers in a tough spot. That isn’t the case here. Nebraska will control things against a defense that has yet to face a strong ground attack. Oklahoma State QB Weeden has had 3 straight outings with multiple INTs. Don’t forget that Nebraska has one of the NCAAs most ferocious defenses. They are giving up just 14.0 PPG. This is a team that held super-QB Jake Locker to a mere 4-20, 71 yards, and forced 2 INTs. The Cornhuskers come back with a vengeance. Nebraska is 7-1 ATS their L8 road games vs. teams with a winning home record while OSU is 7-24 ATS their L31 games played as a ‘dog of 3-10 ½ points and 0-6 ATS their L6 as a home ‘dog. Take the Cornhuskers.

4* NOTRE DAME/NAVY UNDER 50
In order for a game to top a Total placed in the 50 range, it takes either pace, some big plays, or one of the offensive units dominating the defense they are up against. This game does not bring any of those ingredients, which makes it easy for us to get into play.
Notre Dame’s assimilation to the wide-open passing game of Brian Kelly, and the no huddle/fast tempo that he prefers, is on hold. As difficult as it already was installing the new schemes, it is almost like starting all over again this week. The Fighting Irish were already without NFL-bound TE Kyle Rudolph, who was lost for the season in the win over Pittsburgh two weeks ago, but now they will also be without #2 WR Theo Riddick (38 catches), and possibly #1 Michael Floyd (44 catches) as well; if he is able to go he will be far less than 100 percent. It means a very inexperienced group of receivers for Dayne Crist to work with, not only in terms of making plays, but also in being on the same page to establish that fast tempo. As such, do not be surprised if Kelly slows things down here, and puts more of the focus on limiting mistakes than attacking. And with Navy playing mostly “contain” on defense, it is not as though there are big plays to be found – the Midshipmen have not allowed a pass play of more than 32 yards all season.
The flip side of this equation also brings some unique matchup issues that opens the door for the defense to play well. While preparing for the Navy option in mid-season is often a headache, the Notre Dame defense gets a break this week – because classes are not in session, the Fighting Irish are not limited to the 20-hours of “practice” that the NCAA regulates. That means plenty of time for extra film work, and they will be quick to notice what others are finding – without a playmaker on the perimeter to aid Ricky Dobbs, much of this attack will be under wraps this season. Navy does not have a run of more than 27 yards by a RB through six games, with Dobbs being forced to carry the ball himself far too often (more than twice as many touches as anyone else), and way too much reliance on FB plunges inside. When Notre Dame has struggled on defense this season it has been speed as the culprit, but that issue does not come into play here. The Navy focus will be on playing for field position and first downs, rather than quick strikes, which means a slow tempo that limits the number of scoring opportunities there will be.
