Sean Murphy

Iowa St. @ Kansas St.
Pick: Kansas St. -11.5

The bye week came at a good time for Kansas State, as it was coming off back-to-back physical wins over Texas A&M and Texas, and there's no question, do-everything QB Collin Klein has taken quite a beating (he's run the ball 267 times compared to his 236 pass attempts) over the course of a long season.

Now the Wildcats have the opportunity to close out the regular season, and head into their Bowl game on a high note (and perhaps improve their Bowl standing in the process).

This is certainly a favorable matchup for Bill Snyder's squad.

Iowa State saw its improbable three-game winning streak come to an end last Saturday against the Sooners. While the Cyclones did manage to stay inside the number in that game, it was thanks only to an early first quarter touchdown against an Oklahoma squad that came out flat following the loss to Baylor. Over the rest of the game, the Cyclones were outscored 23-0, and ultimately gained only 245 total yards.

Iowa State's run defense will likely be its downfall in this particular matchup. Last week against Oklahoma, the Cyclones gave up a whopping 5.6 yards per rush. If Collin Klein is able to find open lanes to run early, that's only going to open things up for the Wildcats passing game, and by that point, the rout should be on.

The Cyclones represent the worst defensive team Kansas State has faced since going up against Kansas back on October 22nd. The Wildcats won that game 59-21.

Iowa State became Bowl eligible with that shocking win over Oklahoma State two weeks ago, but I think the hangover continues to linger here in its regular season finale. Kansas State has been one of the best bets in the country all season long, posting a 9-2 ATS mark, and there's little reason to expect a hiccup in its home finale on Saturday. Take Kansas State.

Ben Burns

New Mexico @ Boise St.
PICK: Boise St. -49

The Broncos have been winning but not covering recently. They're 4-1 SU their last five games. However, during that stretch, they're winless (0-5 ATS) at the betting window. Note that all four wins have still come by double-digits. The Broncos are being asked to cover a huge number. However, I feel they're fully capable and expect them to do just that.

New Mexico, which lost 69-0 at TCU, is 0-5 on the road, getting outscored by an average of 47.2 to 5.4.

Despite failing to cover last time out, the Broncos are still a profitable 14-8-2 ATS the last 24 times that they were favored by 31 or more points. Given their recent "slide," and with this being their last regular season game, I feel the Broncos will be motivated to "keep the pedal to the metal" the entire way.

While the teams havent met for a number of years, the Broncos are 2-0 SU/ATS in this series, since 1999. Consider laying the large number.

Oklahoma at Oklahoma State
Play: Oklahoma State -165

Backing a home team (Oklahoma State) in a conference test that involves two teams that have outgained their opponents by 100 or more yards on average during the season coming off two straight games where both teams have averaged 6.25 yards or more per play in November or December games has been solid gold. The home team in these situations have won outright and cashed on the money line 83% of the time. The trend is 29-6 since 1992 and is 4-1 this season.

MATT FARGO

Wyoming @ Colorado St.
PICK: Wyoming -5.5

Wyoming has put together a great season as it is 7-4 and will secure third place all by itself in the Mountain West Conference with a win. The Cowboys are assured of matching their best record since joining the conference in 1999 so a win here gets them to 5-2 and would better their record of 5-3 set in 2006. A victory would also give them their first eight-win season since 1998 so there is a lot on the line this week so the 103rd edition of the Border War takes extra meaning.

It has been a dreadful season for Colorado St. which comes into this game with a 3-8 record and a loss here would make it three consecutive seasons with a 3-9 finish. The Rams are fortunate to have any wins against FBS opposition as they were outgained by New Mexico, one of the worst teams in the country, and won by just four points and also defeated Utah St. by a point in overtime thanks a late fumble by the Aggies and a missed two-point conversion. The Border War is big but they are not good.

Rams head coach Steve Fairchild is likely fighting for his job this week as a loss will likely show him the door but that is not certain yet. While he may be fighting for his job, the players may not be fighting for him as things have gone south quickly. A win here could salvage some respect but considering that the Rams are ranked 102nd in the country in scoring offense and 96th in scoring defense, talent-wise, they do not match up well at all against the Cowboys.

Both teams are expected to use freshman quarterbacks this week but there is a big difference. Colorado St. has Garrett Grayson who has started only the last two games because of an injury to Pete Thomas and he has looked every bit a freshman with inaccurate throws and happy feet in the pocket. On the other side, Cowboys freshman quarterback Brett Smith is 32nd in the nation in total offense, averaging 259.9 ypg. The only freshman with a better average is Oregon St.'s Sean Mannion.

Wyoming is coming off a loss against Boise St., which was expected, but it is in a great rebound spot here. Play on road teams that are coming off a conference loss by 21 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last 10 seasons. Colorado St. is just 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games after allowing 40 or more points in its previous game while Wyoming is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games after scoring fewer than 20 points in its previous game.

Freddy Wills

Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State
Play: Oklahoma+3½

Oh what could have been if Oklahoma State did not lose to Iowa State. We had Iowa State +2250 that night and are quite happy Oklahoma State lost that game, but now I wish they had won so this game had more meaning, but for now it’s just the Big 12 Championship in a year where the Big 12 only has ten teams. Oklahoma State isn’t the only team to choke away their season dreams as Oklahoma lost at home to an awful Texas Tech team as -28 point favorites just to put things in perspective. There is a small chance that if Oklahoma State blows Oklahoma out that they could get the votes past Alabama but I just do not see that happening and they definitely do not deserve it. Do you think Alabama would ever lost to Iowa State or Texas Tech? Not a chance. The nation will have to settle for a SEC National Championship.

Why Oklahoma Can Win?

Defense! Unlike Oklahoma State who are ranked 107th in total defense Oklahoma is ranked 52nd and they are 30th vs. the run and 28th in scoring defense while Oklahoma State is ranked 65th. Oklahoma is 7th in the nation in sacks, while Oklahoma State has only allowed 11 on the season but they have faced 6 team defenses that are ranked 92nd or worse in sacks this year. In their only game vs. a team better than Oklahoma in sacks they barely got by beating Texas A&M 30-29.

We saw what talented linebackers A.J. Klein and Jake Knott did against Oklahoma State not allowing for yards after the catch and shutting down the running game well Oklahoma has more talent and they should be able to keep the mid range passing game in check all day long. This defense has allowed just 2.74 yards per carry on the road this season.

Offensively, Oklahoma is no slouch and in fact it’s the best opposing offense that Oklahoma State has faced all year as the Sooners are nearly a mirror image offensively compared with the Cowboys. They are 4th in total offense 3rd in passing, 42nd in rushing, and 8th in scoring offense. It starts up front where Oklahoma has allowed the nation’s fewest sacks. Despite losing their star WR Ryan Broyles and RB Dominique Whaley the offense has continued to roll on.

Why Oklahoma St Can Win?

Maybe they are due, I mean they have not beaten Oklahoma since 2002 and they have every advantage in terms of preparation going into this game having an extra 8 days off. They’ve had a lot of time to be ticked off about losing to Iowa State and I think they can certainly come out like they are on a mission. Also it does not hurt that Oklahoma is dinged up quite a bit.

Turnover margin is another huge reason why Oklahoma State has won and covered games this year. They have forced 37 turnovers on the year and are +16 in turnover margin. This can be a huge advantage if they can force Oklahoma into some turnovers early. Along with that advantage they have the best offense that Oklahoma has faced all year long. Guess what, when Oklahoma went up against high octane offense they struggled especially against teams that can pass. I mean Texas Tech’s Seth Doege threw for 441 yards, Robert Friffin had 479 yards, and Ryan Tannehill threw for 379 yards. Brandon Weeden is better than all three and he has the best WR in the nation in Blackmon.

Third Down & Red Zone

This is an important aspect to my handicapping and my sports picks. Let’s kick it off with third down offense and defense:

Oklahoma State is converting 51.57% of their 3rd downs and 48.62% in conference play; While Oklahoma is converting just 43.71% and 42.74% in conference play. Defensively Oklahoma are allowing just 30.12% conversions on third downs, 28.93% in conference play; While Oklahoma State are allowing 41.85% and 42.96% in conference play. Basically Cowboys have the advantage on offense and the Sooners have the advantage on defense.

Red Zone, can teams put 7 points on the board or settle for field goals? It’s a big question and a big factor when I look at teams especially in a game where the spread is only 3 points.

Oklahoma State is converting 66.20% of their 71 attempts into TD’s in the red zone and they are at 62.5% in conference play; While Oklahoma 60% overall on 60 attempts and 62.79% in conference play. Defensively Oklahoma State is allowing 50% overall TD’s, 53.13% in conference play while Oklahoma allowing 51.72% and 60% in conference play, but far less attempts 29 to Oklahoma State’s 42 attempts allowed.

Trends:
• Sooners are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog.
• Sooners are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss.
• Sooners are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.
• Sooners are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
• Sooners are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 275 total yards in their previous game.
• Cowboys are 21-4-2 ATS in their last 27 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0.
• Cowboys are 48-19-2 ATS in their last 69 games as a favorite.
• Cowboys are 17-7 ATS in their last 24 games as a home favorite.
• Sooners are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Basically for me it comes down to defense. The only reason this is not a premium maxed out play is the injuries on Oklahoma’s side as well as the extra time Oklahoma State has had to prepare, but I still think Oklahoma is the better team they have a defense that can make stops and the advantage Oklahoma State has in turnover margin won’t be a factor as both teams turn the ball over around the same amount overall this year. Also when it came to 3rd down defense and red zone defense on the road Oklahoma got better showing that they are capable of stepping it up in hostile environments. I think Oklahoma takes this game and Oklahoma State is unable to emotionally get over their loss to Iowa State.

EZWINNERS

Oklahoma State Cowboys -3.5

The Sooners have won eight straight meetings between these two teams, but I look for the Cowboys to break thru with the win in this game. OU has been hit hard by injuries and their defense has also slipped up a few times this season. The defensive side of the ball is where the Sooners usually have a huge advantage in this match up, but the OU defense has allowed forty plus points in their two upset loses to Texas Tech and Baylor this season and Oklahoma State will be the best offense that they have faces yet. The Cowboys are the only team that has a slight change to make it to the BCS Championship game other than LSU and Alabama, so they need to come up with a big win here. Lay the points.

Sam Martin

Georgia at LSU
Play: LSU

No reason to think LSU will suddenly fall apart now that the National Championship Game is in their sights, and after already beating Oregon, Alabama, and last week Arkansas we don't see how Georgia will be able to stand up to the Tigers here. LSU's rush defense should have no problem handling the Bulldogs running game, and Georgia has given up big point totals against the two best teams they've faced this year (Boise State put up 35, South Carolina scored 45). Line is a bit too high for us to make this pick a premium selection, but the line value still lies with the favorite here. 5* Play on LSU.

Marc Lawrence

Syracuse at Pittsburgh Panthers
Prediction: Syracuse

The final Big East game of the weekend may not have title implications but it does send the winner bowling and the loser home as a pair of 5-6 squads meet in the Steel City. Pittsburgh has cashed four straight tickets (three as dogs) while the ?Cuse is riding a 0-4 SU and ATS streak, thus the value (i.e. over-inflated line) comes to the Orange who are 8-0 ATS with revenge off back-to-back SU losses versus a foe off back-to-back SU wins. And while the Panthers may be scoring on the ATS scorecard, last week?s deflating 1-point loss at West Virginia cost them a shot at the Big East crown. We do think Pitt has enough talent to garner the straight-up victory today at home and send them to a fourth-straight bowl game but HC Todd Graham flakes like a cracker when laying points to a foe off back-to-back SU losses, posting a 1-11-1 ATS mark. Add a 1-4 ATS log in ?Last Home Games? to the mix and it would take nerves of ?Steel? to lay doubles in this long-time rivalry. Pitt may squeeze out the win but with Syracuse having something to play for, our database says the Orange will not get the pulp beat out of them. An easy take. We recommend a 1-unit play on Syracuse.

Wunderdog

Michigan State vs. Wisconsin
Play: Wisconsin -9.5

Indianapolis will be the site for the inaugural Big-10 Championship featuring Michigan State vs. Wisconsin. The Spartans pulled off a miracle in their regular season matchup this year. Michigan State got a Hail Mary win on the last play of the game to steal the win 37-31. I think there is going to be payback in this one with the better team coming out on top. The defenses in this game are on the same level, but the Badgers’ offense is light years ahead of what Michigan State brings to the table. Wisconsin allowed 37 points to this offense in round one - the most they gave up all season. So, you can bet that they will come loaded for bear in this one to atone. This Badgers team allowed 17 points or less in 10 of their 12 games while topping the 40-point mark eight times. Michigan State is only 2-8 ATS in their last 10 as a dog from 3.5 to 10 points. Coach Dantonio has never won a game at Michigan State as a dog of +8 or more as he is 0-18 straight up, covering just 1/3 of them. Under Bret Bielema, the Badgers have been a team of momentum, going 15-6 ATS after a big win by 28 or more and 24-13 ATS after an ATS win. Wisconsin extracts revenge here with the win and cover.

Tony George

Southern Miss vs. Houston
Play: Houston -13

A ton riding on this one for the UNDEFEATED Cougars and all world QB Case Keenum. Undefeated record and a big BCS Bowl Bid. One BIG thing here, is home field advantage which is rare in Conference Championships. Only the PAC 12 has it this year. While Southern Miss has some solid numbers for an underdog, their secondary is VERY suspect and at days end the record setting QB Keenum and the fast paced offense will simply overwhelm Southern Miss as the game goes into the late stages and I see Houston pulling away.

What some do not realize is Houston's defense is good. They rank 3rd in the nation in tackles for a loss, and they are also a ball hawking secondary. I was looking at the dog here about a week ago, but I re-watched the butt kicking Houston handed Tulsa, at Tulsa, a game in which I took Houston, there is no doubt they are the real deal and So. Miss is a paper tiger here. AT HOME, Houston Rolls

Bobby Conn

BYU vs. Hawaii
Play: BYU -8

Hawaii has lost three of their last four games amid the point shaving scandal and this team won't be up for playing with BYU tonight. The Cougars do a lot of recruiting on the island and will want to put up a good show in order to increase their presence. Hawaii is a passing team that struggles to run the ball, but BYU is actually an excellent pass defense and should put the screws to the Warrior attack. Go with BYU.

San Diego St. -8

Pat Hill sees things '"falling apart" up in Fresno and it sure wasn't a good sign that his Bulldogs couldn't beat San Jose State last Saturday in the team's final home game of 2011. In fact, San Jose State's 27-24 loss marked the Spartans' first victory at Bulldog Stadium since 1987 and only the school's second win in 19 all-time meetings between the two schools. Pat Hill's team is just 4-7, with only three wins coming against FBS schools. As for the Aztecs, San Diego State has survived the loss of its head coach to Michigan (Brady Hoke), as Rocky Long has done an excellent job. The Aztecs have enough wins to make it to the postseason again this year, showing a 7-4 record. QB Lindley has not been able to match last year's numbers, as the Aztecs couldn't overcome the loss of talented WRs Brown (69 catches / 19.6 YPC / 10 TDs) and Sampson (67 catches / 18.2 YPC / 8 TDs). Stepping up "big time" this season has been RB Ronnie Hillman. The sophomore enters the final regular season game (with a bowl game still to go) having run for 1,478 yards (5.7 YPC / 15 TDs). His average of 134.4 YPG ranks 4th in the nation. Fresno State also has an excellent RB in Robbie Rouse, who ran for 151 yards and scored twice in the home loss to San Jose State. Rouse has 1,493 yards on the season (4.8 YPC / 12 TDs) and QB Derek Carr (David's brother) continues to show progress, as he completed 19-of-28 passes for 276 yards and a TD. He's completing 63.3% on the year for 3,208 yards with 24 TDs and just eight INTs but the bottom line is that FSU has beaten just three FBS opponents this year. One could say it's been the fault of the team's defense or rather, the team's lack of defense. FSU ranks 98th in yards allowed (430.8 YPG) and 107th in points allowed (35.2 PPG). Expect the Aztecs to win (and cover) here and move to 8-4, leaving the team with a chance to match last year's win total with a bowl win. Lay it.

Gridiron Gold Sheet

UConn / Cincinnati Under 47.5

The UConn Huskies offense has new looks on the field with junior QB Johnny McEntee but not very good with 24 points, 184 yards passing per game, but they have plenty to play for in this one. UConn can become bowl eligible with a win at Cincinnati. Connecticut beat South Florida 16-10 without scoring an offensive touchdown. They only allow 22.3 ppg. Cincinnati had a high octane offense, but they had a huge injury late in the season: Senior QB Zach Collaros (14 TDs, 8 INTs) is out for the season with a leg injury, so sophomore quarterback Munchie Legaux is running the offense. A loss by Cincinnati would give Louisville, 5-2 in the Big East, the title. Bearcat defense is allowing 19 ppg.This should be a physical defensive battle with two QB's trying to minimize mistakes. Expect a safe game plan from both coaches and take the UNDER.
