This week in the SEC we have a contest that has 2 teams going in opposite directions from the start of the season. Kentucky started the season 3-0 in their first 3 contests, while Miss St was only 1-2 in their first 3 outings. There are some interesting stats that show why these 2 have since gone in opposite directions. Kentucky in their first 3 games had no turnovers and were plus 4 in turnovers, while Miss St was minus 3 in turnovers. In the past 5 games, Kentucky has had 10 turnovers and are minus 3 in that category which has led to a 1-4 record. Miss St on the other hand has had no turnovers to 8 for their opponents in their past 3 games, and in the past 5 games they are plus 7 in turnovers which has led to them going 5-0 in the past 5. First year Defensive Coordinator Manny Diaz has this team clicking on all cylinders, as they are creating turnovers ... 8 in the past 3 games. And, they are ranked 3rd in the country in scoring defense. Of all the teams in the country that have played 8 games this season, Miss State's defense is 4th in the country on defense in giving up touchdowns. They have given up only 15 touchdowns so far this season, which is behind only Tcu, Alabama, and Ohio St. In the past 5 games, their defense has 39 tackles for a loss.Meanwhile, Kentucky has also played 8 games and has given up 33 touchdowns, and they are giving up an average of 32 points per game.
Over the course of the season Kentucky has come to rely heavilyon their passing attack. In their first 3 games where they were 3-0, they rushed for an average of 40 times per game and an average of 242 rushing yards per game. In the past 5 games where they are 1-4 they have only averaged 30 rushing attempts per game for an average of only 91 yards per game on the ground. And, they'll need to pass even more now that RB Derrick Locke is out with a shoulder injury. Miss St has rushed for over 200 yards in each of their past 4 games with a rushing average of 280 yards per game. Second year Head Coach Mullen's team has rushed for over 100 yards in 19 out of 20 games here at Miss State. Over the past 4 weeks the Bulldogs running game gained over 1100 yards and 11 touchdowns. Kentucky is giving up an average of 176 yards per game on the season on defense with an average of 4.7 yards per rush which is the worst in the SEC and 22nd worst in in country. Two weeks ago So.Carolina was completely controlling the game with their rushing attack against Kentucky, until their freshman star running back Lattimore got injured and didn't return. SC could no longer control the clock due to their inability to run the ball effectively. In their last 3 games which were all at home, Kentucky is giving up 428 yards per game and over 7 yards per play. Miss St in their home games this season are averaging 33 points per game and 415 yards per game and 6.5 yards per play. They are holding their opponents to 15 points per game. In the past 5 games, they have 39 tackles for a loss and created 10 turnovers. Kentucky's rushing defense has given up 22 touchdowns this season which is 4th worst in the country and the worst in the SEC. Miss State's rushing offense is 14th best in the country and in the SEC 2nd only to Auburn at 220 yards per game. Miss State plays a ball control offense with their rushing attack, and they are number 1 in the SEC in time of possession with over 31 minutes per game in time of possession. They are 2nd in 3rd down conversions at 48%. Their conversion rats 37% in the 1st half and increases to 54% in the second half of their games. State has outscored their opponents 75-20 in the first quarter, and have outscored their opponents by 41 points in the second half. In the past 18 meetings between these two, the team that rushed for more yards in the game has won straight up 16 of the 18 meetings. In those 18 meetings, Miss St rushed for over 300 yards 3 times, and as a result they won all 3 by an average of 21 points per game. Last year Miss St played at Kentucky and rushed for 348 yards and won by 7. In those 18 meetings, Miss St is 3-1 ATS as a home favorite between 3.5 and 7 points. Kentucky is 4-14 ATS as a road underdog of 3.5 to 7 points since 1992.
In the past 2 seasons, Miss St is 5-1 SU at home vs. unranked opponents. While Kentucky should be on an emotional low, Miss St should be on an emotional high this week. After playing Florida and Ole Miss on the road, Kentucky had a 3 game home stand where they played Auburn, So.Carolina, and then in their Homecoming game last week played Georgia. We can easily make an excuse for Miss State's lackluster performance last week against Uab where they settled for 5 field goals. State 2 weeks ago went on the road and upset Florida, and then returned home last week in their Homecoming game played Uab. They had all week to hear from alumni, family and friends how great they were to beat Florida in their last game. Plus, State had some key players sidelined with injuries. They gave just enough last week to win their homecoming game which was their 6th win on the season which made them bowl eligible. Look for a full effort in today's game, as State gets next week off and 2 weeks to prepare for Alabama. Kentucky has not yet had a bye, and don't get a week off until after the Vandy game on November 13th. Key players to watch for Miss State ... RB Vic Ballard missed last week's game against Uab. He has 12 Touchdowns in 7 games, and is expected back this week. Last week RB LaDarius Perkins had 131 yards rushing vs Uab and was named SEC's freshman of the week. Jr QB Chris Relf is the team's 2nd leading rusher behind RB Ballard. Punter Heath Hutchins has punted 32 times this season, and has allowed only 17 total return yards in those 32 punts. LB Chris White has been named SEC player of the week and national defensive player of the week, as he had 14 tackles against Uab last week and in the previous game against Florida had 4.5 tackles for a loss and 2.5 sacks. He has 71 total tackles on the season. The combination of Miss State's rushing attack and their stellar defense will enable them to control the clock and the tempo of the game. We look for a full effort by Miss State's Offense and Defense Today; As They Control Time Of Possession On Offense and Force Turnovers On Defense! Today We Have The Bulldogs For Our Lock Of The Year!

5-2 & #24 ranked USC will play Defense !! The best play we have going this weekend on the NCAAF docket is the USC Trojans + 7 as they are coming off a bye week and aƒfter that performance vs. the Cal Bears 602 yards of Offence we will back these dangerous Usc Trojans who check in @ 12-6 TS vs the Top 10 teams. The USC Trojans can & will play D and the #1 Ore Ducks are in for a whale of ball game vs this Lane Kiffen lead crew. We are well aware of he off field distractions and that pure fact that this is there "Bowl Game". The USC Trojans average 37.4 ppg and 494.0 total ypg, and Matt Barkley has completed 65.4 percent of his passes for 1,869 yards and 20 touchdowns and only 4 picks. The talent on these 2 ball clubs is equal & we are not buying that Ducks hype!! The power ratings check in @ Ore Ducks -3.5 points.
2* Houston -14
Pound Out a smooth 49-7 final as the Houston Cougars have checked in @ -22 in our power ratings to a poor Memphis 1-6 ball club who flat out quit on there coach! Houston owns huge edges in all 5 categories that we cap and that all adds up to Blow Out Winner. The Houston Cougars have gelled nicely since the Qb Keenum went down. Our camp notes that the Tigers are a mess right now!! Lay the 14 and cash it!!! We note that the Houston Cougars love the road favorite role & are a smooth 6-1 ATS i‚n their last 7 games as a favorite of 10 or greater!! The Memphis Tigers are a terrible 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as an underdog.
1* California +3
The Rolling Cal Bears are a flat out "Triple Revenger" ball club that can & will win on the road today!! Ore State does not play defense and the Cal Bears just hung up a 50 spot on the Ariz State crew and Qb Kevin Riley is out to prove that his ballclub can play on the road. The Bears check in @ a 34.8 points per game clip. The Cal D has been solid and is holding opponents to 114.0 rushing ypg and 187.4 passing ypg, The Ore State D is bad boys , real bad 459.2 total ypg on the year!! The Cal Bears will get that we "can't win away monkey" off their backs. Cal checks in @ -4 point favorite on our Exclusive JR O power ratings!! James Rodgers the all every‚thing back is out after suffering a season-ending knee injury and that will hurt this week.
1* Mississippi +7
Let's stay focused and fire away on a nice dangerous dog that has the huge advantage of intangible edges here! Auburn is playing nine straight weeks and coach Rebels Coach H. Nutt fires his ball clubs up after a loss, he also has the Rebels believing them selves and Ducks Tranfer Qb Jeremiah Masoli. The Rebels did not quit after last weeks 5 hour ball game. The Rebels check in here @ a‚ + 3 power rating to theses tired Auburn Tigers. Winning College ball games is all about ebb and flow and this is flat out tough spot for the Tigers, They are 1-7 in this series and a poor 25% cover play as a SEC away favorite!!

I'm laying the points with Texas on Saturday night. Paul Rhoads and the Iowa State Cyclones seem to have the ability to bring out the worst in at least one quality team per season. Last year, ISU capatilized on no less than eight Nebraska turnovers, including three inside the ISU redzone, for a 9-7 upset win in Lincoln. Last weekend it was the Longhorns who fell apart and suffered a meltdown against the Cyclones. Nebraska responded by holding Baylor to 10 points and 54 yards rushing on 32 attempts, in a 20-10 Husker win in Waco the next time out. Baylor gets the unenviable task of having to play in Austin against an angry Texas team that has lost their last two home games by a combined score of 62-33! Mack Brown and Will Muschamp have already shown that this defense can stop a mobile QB (Taylor Martinez) when their players' are focused. There's no doubt in my mind that they will be 100% focused for this one and on stopping QB Robert Griffin. The line differential is amazing in this series. Baylor & Texas have met 10 times since 2000. Texas has never been smaller than a 23 point favorite (last year & Texas won 47-14), and they have laid 39 1/2 or more on three occasions. After an average line of Texas minus-32 in the last 10 meetings, the Longhorns opened an 8-point favorite in this one. Yes, Baylor is on top of the Big-12 South. Yes, Baylor is actually in the top-25 with Texas looking up at them. But take a look at the Bears' schedule and results. I give due credit to HC Art Briles and his staff. But Baylor has beaten Sam Houston State, Buffalo, and Rice, in non-conference play. Their Big-12 wins have come against Kansas, Colorado, and Kansas State. Let's not forget that the same K-State team that scored 42 on Baylor in Waco, was completely shut down at home against Nebraska a few weeks ago. Baylor's lone step-up game outside of the conference resulted in an ugly 45-10 loss to TCU. And they allowed 45 points in a 7-point loss to a down Texas Tech team. Despite "gimmies" against Buffalo, Kansas, and SHSU, the Bears rank just 79th in the nation in total defense. TCU, T-Tech, and K-State gained 533.3 yards per game against Baylor, on 6.93 yards per play. BU allowed almost 5 yards per carry, and the pass defense was horrible. Those three teams completed 75% of their passes for an average of 342.3 yards per game (9.17 pypa) with 7 scores and just 2 picks. QB Garrett Gilbert and the struggling, but talented Texas offense must be "licking their chops." And by the way, Griffin has not been able to use his feet against the three toughest opponents Baylor has faced, running for only 47 yards on 31 carries. The Longhorns rank 6th in total defense and 2nd in pass defense. If timing is everything, Baylor sure doesn't have it on their side. Baylor has covered just 3 of their last 11 as a road dog of 3 1/2 to 10 points, going 0-4 ATS in this range the last four times home or away. During the Mack Brown-era, the Longhorns are 20-6 ATS following a game where they had a turnover ratio of at least minus-2. Brown has a way of getting his team's attention off a bad performance. And you are 33-10 ATS playing against road dogs (+3 1/2 to +10) that are off two straight wins against conf rivals, provided the dog and their current opponent both have winning records. Look for Texas to bounce back with a win and cover. I'm laying the points with Texas.
