*200 Illinois +14
Not one person, or analysis I have read is giving Illinois a chance today. However, the trends tell a different story! Illinois is 9-1 ATS since October 5 1985 vs Ohio state in games 1-5. Illinois is also 11-2-1 ATS in games 1-4 vs a Big 10 team and their next game is home. Ohio State is known for coming out flat against teams they are supposed to dominate. Look for a hungry and improved Illinois team to cover this spread today.
*200 LSU -12
Miss St has had a much softer schedule thus far, and this line is low because they pulled off a straight up victory over a weaker than usual Vanderbilt team last week. The Miss St spread offense will struggle against this LSU defense that has speed and the hunger to hit someone. I have several trends that support a LSU victory today. LSU is 8-0 ATS (+19.6 ppg) since September 11, 1993 on the road vs. MSST and LSU is 7-0 ATS (+21.2 ppg) since November 15, 1986 as a road favorite vs. MSST. However, MSST is 0-9 ATS Since September 12 1992 Vs LSU in games 1-4. Take LSU and feel good about a solid cover today!
*200 Rice +7.5
This game has sucker written all over it. Vanderbilt is a much weaker team than most think this year. With only 45% of the public on Rice the line has dropped over 1.5 points to 7. Rice is 11-0 ATS since October 3 1981 at home when 2 games ago they faced a big 12 team. Take Rice and the points at home today to cover this spread against a Vandy team that was beat up pretty bad in a hrad hitting contest last week.
*200 Kansas -13
The JayHawks have done what it takes to be a double digit favorite today. Last week their defense turned the corner and sent David Cutcliffes Duke Blue Devils to the sideline 8 straight times with out a score. Todd Reesing, the Kansas quarterback is completing 64% of his career passes. There was an unusual brawl on campus on this week. There are rumors that close to 10 football players could be displined this weekend, with top receiver Briscoe being one of them. I don't see that happening this weekend especially with the line staying flat at a solid 13. The League is 0-9 ATS (-13.0 ppg) since November 18, 2006 as a dog vs. KAN after a home game. Kansas is 16-6 ATS record in its last 22 as a home favorite. Take Kansas minus the points for the cover.
*300 Arkansas State -2
Ark St has had two weeks to prepare for this game. The Troy Trojans came out last week with a bruising win over UAB. The Red Wolves are better than the team that Troy beat by 26 in 2008. The Trojans are not as good as last season's team, and have struggled to move the ball at times. Ark St has a 3 senior that are up for player of the year honors. I love this Ark St team to inflict some revenge today on the Trojans. We will side with the public in game and take the Red Wolves for the cover.
*300 Iowa +10
Iowa does one thing well, and that is they get up for Penn State. Iowa has won 4 out of the last 5 games straight up. Yes, Iowa is rebuilding this year. However, they are still playing Penn St so all the rules are out the door today. Penn St is 0-7 ATS in games 1-4 when their next game is away and their opponents next conference game is vs the Big 10. The Penn State offense and Iowa Hawkeye defense are pretty evenly matched. This will be an exciting chess match to watch. Take Iowa for the cover today, and thank their special teams play, and ability to get the turnovers for the cover.
*300 Miami -3
Miami is one of the most under rated teams in college football this year. Miami should be able to stop the run and force Tyrod Taylor into some bad decisions. And unlike Nebraska, Miami will actually be able to score touchdowns, and plenty of them! The Hokies defense is good, but the Miami offense wil prove to much to handle today. The Hokies are not close to being able to play Beamer ball, and today Miami takes one more step to winning the ACC Title. Take the hurricanes laying this low number for an impressive victory today!

Mississippi State +13.5
BIG LETDOWN SPOT FOR LSU. The Florida Gators are coming to town next week, and it's only human nature for teams to look ahead when they are about to face the defending National Champions. Mississippi State is certainly improved this year, and they have a great shot to pull off the upset Saturday. The Bulldogs won at Vanderbilt 15-3 last week by holding the Commodores to only 33 rushing yards on 29 carries and 124 passing yards on 12-of-32 attempts. So for the game, the Bulldogs gave up just 157 total yards. LSU's offense is not explosive this season, but their defense is solid. We don't feel the Tigers can score enough points to win by two touchdowns, let alone with the game outright. LSU's highest rushing total in 3 games is 178 and their highest passing total in 3 games is 172. Mississippi State is averaging 222 rushing yards per game, and that's come against good competition other than Jackson State. LSU has given up over 100 yards rushing in all 3 games so far, so the Bulldogs will be able to move the ball on the ground and win the time of possession battle. LSU is 0-8 ATS (-8.8 Units) after 3 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons. The Tigers are 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) after a 2 game home stand over the last 3 seasons. LSU is 1-10 ATS (-10.0 Units) versus good rushing teams - averaging >=4.75 rushing yards/carry over the last 3 seasons. That's a 24-1 (96%) ATS Angle backing the Bulldogs. Their ability to move the ball on the ground will be the difference in this game, especially with LSU looking ahead to the Gators. Take Mississippi State and the points
5* Wiseguy ACC GAME OF THE WEEK
Georgia Tech -2
Georgia Tech is down in the public eye right now and folks are starting to forget about them. But don't sleep on the Yellow Jackets, because this team is still one of the best teams in the ACC and they will make a run at the conference title before it's all said and done. They face North Carolina Saturday, a team that has committed 7 turnovers already through 3 games. The Yellow Jackets thrive off of turnovers, and they'll be very hungry defensively after getting torched by Miami last week. Georgia Tech has also has 2 extra days to prepare after playing last Thursday, which will be a big factor because the Yellow Jackets were clearly tired last week against Miami, having played 3 games in 13 days. Georgia Tech is 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) when playing with 8 days rest since 1992. The Yellow Jackets are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. Take Georgia Tech and lay the points
3* Southern Miss +14
Southern Miss is one of the better teams in the country that nobody knows about. Kansas is about to find that out Saturday. The Golden Eagles (3-0) are sixth in the FBS in run defense, allowing 51.7 yards per game. They have held their opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing in their last eight games, all victories. Southern Miss limited Virginia to 78 yards on the ground Saturday in a 37-34 win. The Golden Eagles are tied with Mississippi for the nation's second-longest win streak behind Florida (13). "We feel like our kids understand what we expect and they have higher expectations for themselves now," coach Larry Fedora said. "We're excited about where we're going." Golden Eagles sophomore quarterback Austin Davis has not thrown an interception in his last 128 passes. Not turning the ball over will be huge in this big road game that will put Southern Miss on the map if they win. The Golden Eagles are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. Take Southern Miss and the points.
