Arizona +7 at SOUTHERN CAL
With better luck, Arizona could have been battling for the Pac-10 championship. The Wildcats suffered heart-breaking losses to Cal and Oregon before winning a road game at Arizona State on the final play.
The victory over their in-state rival has restored confidence and morale in Tucson. The Wildcats will be up for this matchup.
Many of Arizona's players are from California. Some were recruited by Southern Cal. Arizona knows that a victory against USC would give its program respect and recognition.
Under Mike Stoopes, the Wildcats have played USC competitively, covering the past four years. Arizona usually is tough versus good competition covering nine of the last 13 times it has faced a team with a winning record.
USC has one of the worst pointspread marks in the country. The Trojans are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games.
It's hard to see the Trojans up for this matchup since their run of Pac-10 championships ended at seven in a row and they have no chance to reach a BCS bowl.
This Trojans team is down from past years. They've had a number of injuries, especially at the skill positions and they have a freshman quarterback who has been turnover prone. USC is just 2-9 ATS in Pac-10 action the past two seasons.

Cincinnati -2' at PITTSBURGH
You ready for a little upset?
G-Man feels it in the air in the Steel City early this Saturday as Pittsburgh looks to bounce Cincinnati, and lay claim to the Big East's BCS bowl bid with the victory today.
Pittsburgh may be a little down after getting edged at the gun last week at West Virginia, but the Panthers are at home for this one, and they do get the chance to ruin Cincy's perfect season with the win today.
The home team has won and covered the last pair of series showdowns, and the Panthers do sport at 5-2 spread mark their last 7 at Heinz Field.
Not easy to poke holes in the Cincinnati balloon these days, but perhaps the rumor of Coach Kelly moving on to South Bend will create a little bit of a distraction in this team?
The Bearcats defense is also vunerable, and between Stull's passing, Lewis' rushing, and the receiving of both Baldwin, and Dickerson, I have to give the Panthers a real shot at springing the suprise.
This line is on the rise in favor of Cincy, but the G-Man is taking Pitt plus the points.

Houston -2' at EAST CAROLINA
For Saturday’s free play in college football, I’ll take Houston as a short road favorite in the Conference USA Championship Game at East Carolina.
I’m well aware that the Pirates get this game on their home field, and I’m well aware that they ended the regular season with five straight conference victories to claim the East Division title. I also acknowledge that East Carolina’s defense has been stout since the end of September, giving up 21 points or fewer in eight of the last nine games.
That said, outside of a home game against Virginia Tech (which they lost 16-3), the Pirates haven’t faced a single quality opponent since mid-September (when they suffered back-to-back double-digit losses to West Virginia and North Carolina). Certainly, the Pirates defense hasn’t been tested like it will be today, as Houston has the nation’s No. 1 offense in terms of points scored (44.9 per game), yards gained (583.3 per game) and passing yards (443.6 yards per game). That last one is huge, is because East Carolina’s defense can be had through the air, as the Pirates give up 240 passing yards per game – this despite not going up against one decent quarterback all year!
Today, the Pirates not only are facing a decent QB, they’re facing the most prolific QB in college football this season in Houston’s Case Keenum. The junior has completed more than 70 percent of his passes for a ridiculous 4,920 yards with a 38-6 TD-to-INT ratio. The first time Keenum matched up against East Carolina was in September of last season, and all he did was torch the Pirates for 401 passing yards and three TDs in a 41-24 rout as a 10½-point road underdog.
Including that victory, Houston has won three of the last four against East Carolina, including two straight victories on the Pirates’ home field. Finally, East Carolina’s four losses this year came against their four toughest opponents (West Virginia, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and SMU, all by a touchdown or more). On the other hand, the Cougars have three marquee wins (and covers) on their ledger: 45-35 at Oklahoma State, 31-24 at Mississippi State and 29-28 at home against Texas Tech. Houston, which has cashed in nine of it last 12 overall, also comes into this game off of two league victories by the combined score of 138-28!

Nebraska +14 vs. Texas, in Arlington, Texas
I'm 20-10 with my FREE plays the last month and I'm coming with a winner tonight as I grab the points and play Nebraska in the Big 12 title game from Arlington, Texas.
I know Texas is the better all-around team in this matchup tonight and the Longhorns are likely going to win the game. But they aren’t going to do it by more than two touchdowns. Nebraska’s defense won’t be embarrassed tonight and isn’t going to get run out of the stadium.
Let’s look at one common denominator between these two – Oklahoma. The Sooners went to the Cotton Bowl for the annual Red River Rivalry game and lost 16-13 to the Longhorns, pushing as a three-point underdog. Honestly, Oklahoma had some chances to win that game and the defense made Texas QB Colt McCoy look very average.
The Sooners went to Lincoln, Nebraska to take on the Cornhuskers and fell 10-3 as a 4 ½-point road favorite. Nebraska’s defense has been as good as advertised against every opponent they’ve faced this season. They are ranked third in the country (behind only Florida and Alabama) in scoring defense at 11.1 points per game and 11th in total defense at 291.4 yards per contest. The only time this team allowed a team more than 20 points in a game was a 31-10 loss to Texas Tech. So if the oddsmakers are giving me somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 points, it makes perfect sense to me to play the better defense.
Four times in the last nine games, Nebraska has allowed less than 10 points in a game. This defense is for real and they will get after McCoy tonight and he won’t be running away from these guys like he did Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night.
Nebraska is on ATS runs of 4-1 as an underdog, 7-2 on the road and 7-3 against winning teams.
These two teams met in 2007 with Texas escaping with a 28-25 win, coming nowhere near covering the 20 ½-point spread. Nebraska is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings with Texas and the underdog is on a 5-2-1 ATS run in the last eight. The books seem to lean heavily on Texas because they are the betting darlings. Take advantage of that and go the other way in this one.
Too many points to pass up tonight. Grab them and play Nebraska.

Texas -14 vs. Nebraska at Arlington, Texas
I brought home another winner Friday with my complimentary selection on the Jazz, improving my record to 20-6 over the past 26 days! While you really can't ask for much better than that, I'm going to give it to you with another victory today!
Texas' offense has been nearly unstoppable this year, ranking third in the nation with 43 points per game and 11th with 451.6 yards per game. Senior quarterback Colt McCoy has made himself the likely favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, completing 71.8 percent of his passes for 3,328 yards and 27 touchdowns with nine interceptions, and also rushing for 368 yards and two TDs.
The Longhorns also have increased their scoring over the past six games, averaging 45.7 points.
Nebraska's offense is talented, led by junior QB Zac Lee and junior running back Roy Helu, and averages 25.6 points and 334.8 yards per game, but the Cornhuskers averaged just 18.8 ppg against Big 12 opponents and don't have the big-play capabilities that Texas possesses.
And while the Nebraska defense ranks third in points allowed, giving up just 11.1 per game, the Longhorns are ninth with 15.4 ppg. And Texas actually allows fewer yards per game (264 to 291.4 for Nebraska).
Texas is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six conference games, while Nebraska is 2-5 ATS in its last seven. The Longhorns are also 7-2-1 ATS at neutral sites, and the weather should not be a factor today at Cowboys Stadium, meaning they can open up the offense and throw everything they have at the Cornhuskers. Take Texas to break the game open in the second half and win in a rout.

William & Mary +2' at SO. ILLINOIS
Homefield advantage can be huge in the Division I-AA Playoffs; but defense tells a whole other story. Both teams come into this one off devastating blowouts in the first round, but believe me when I tell you Southern Illinois hasn’t tasted the type of defense it’s going to swallow today in this quarterfinal.
I know the Salukis have a power running game that ranks fourth in the nation, but what are they going to do once they meet up with the top-ranked rushing defense. Plan on going to the pass? Meet the 17th-best pass-efficient defense in the country. Looking to run a balanced game, possibly set up the play action? Meet the No. 2 overall defense and No. 2 scoring D.
This is a disciplined Tribe team, one that isn’t going to commit six turnovers, like Eastern Illinois did against SIU last week. William & Mary is 4-2 on the road this season, and make note that one of its 10 wins came at Virginia, a 26-14 victory in the season-opener.
Move this game to a neutral field, the Tribe is favored. Move it to its home field, the number grows. Again, I know homefield advantage can be huge in the Division I-AA Playoffs, but there’s something to be said about a staunch defense like this one. Let’s take the points here.

Fresno State at Illinois
How'd you enjoy Davidson Thursday night, a sound winner over The Citadel?Told you the Wildcats were the play over an outmatched Citadel squad, and now I'm telling you Fresno State is the play over Illinois in this Saturday morning battle in Champaign.
Fresno State is assured of playing in a bowl for the third year in a row, but the question remains which bowl that will be. A blowout win over a Big 10 foe to close the season could sweeten the pot for the Bulldogs, especially on the road.
And since the Illini are last in the Big 10 in pass defense, allowing 254.8 yards a game) and eighth against the run in giving up 147.3 a game, I really don't believe they'll be able to stop Fresno quarterback Ryan Colburn, who completes almost 60 percent of his passes and has thrown for 2,150 yards and 16 touchdowns. And get this, he's not the headliner.
There's also running back Ryan Mathews, who has rushed for 1,491 yards - including 107 against Big 10 foe Wisconsin - and 14 touchdowns. The junior needs nine yards to hit 1,500 on the ground, which would be best in the Weastern Athletic Conference.
I know Illinois quarterback Juice Williams is concluding his diappointing career for the Illni, but I'll count on the 34th-ranked passing defense to stifle the senior's effort.
Play the Dawgs!!!

Bad call on Michigan State last night as the Spartans fall short of what they should’ve done.
I’m not sweating that one bit, though, because I’m handing you a strong Comp Play winner tonight as I’m taking Nebraska in the Big XII championship against Texas.
While I’m not saying the Cornhuskers will get the outright win, I am saying, catching about 14 points, Nebraska will get the win ATS.
Coming into this game the Huskers have won 5 consecutive games SU, beating their opponents by an average of 10.6 points per game.
Now they battle a Texas team that, despite being a perfect 12-0 SU this season, has gone just 5-6-1 ATS.
Keep in mind, also, in the four games played between these two this decade, even though Texas has gone a perfect 4-0 SU against Nebraska, the Longhorns are just 1-2-1 ATS against the Huskers, including non-covers in each of their last two meetings.
It’ll be another close one as Nebraska covers against the Longhorns.

Arizona vs Southern Cal
Play: Arizona +7
Yes..this is my video podcast play this week, but I do not like USC's shaky offense in this game. Arizona has great balance and can play dsome solid football. USC is way down this year and while they have a good defense, Zona will score in this game. I cannot ignore Stanford hanging 55 points on the Trojans and while Zona id not a blowout offense type team, they find ways to win and are very well coached. Both coming off rivalry games last week, and both won. This one goes down to the wire in my mind, I like the points here. USC set to play probablly Nebraska in the Holiday bowl, and Zona going to a minor bowl, so no pressure for either team here, like Zona to come in here and open it up and make it very interesting.
Jimmy Moore
California @ Washington
Pick: Washington +7
Washington has had a very nice rebound season from last year's disaster and they will be trying their hardest to win this game to end on a good note. Cal, on the other hand, is very disappointed at the results of their season and will be hard pressed to come up with much motivation in this game coming off of their big rivalry game and a week off. Take the points with the Huskies.
Brian Graves
Nebraska vs. Texas
Pick: Nebraska +14.5
Since only team has even scored more than 20 points on Nebraska this year how can you not take them getting more than 14 points. This is a defense that allowed only 9 points when there offense gave up 8 turnovers in one game. That is the only way Texas ends up covering and that is if Zac Lee throws a couple of pick 6's and believe me that is very possible. If I could trust the Nebraska offense to play turnover free this would have GOY possibilities but they have proven very untrustworthy in that area. On the other hand if Nebraska could create a few turnovers then they could wreak all kinds of havoc on the BCS and Boise St. This will be a low scoring game that Nebraksa hangs around in and hopes for something forutunate late. They won't get it as Texas wins 20-10!
Jimmy Thompson
South Florida vs. UConn
Pick: Uconn -7.5
South Florida is a team that likes to quit when there on the road and they turn the ball over with stupid decisions and play calls. Now they get to go to Connecticut and play in the snow and if there is one team in the country that isn't mentally tough enough for that challenge it is the Bulls. UConn may have 5 losses but they are by a total of 15 points and to teams that are all headed to bowl games. The tandem of Todman and Dixon are excellent and the ground may be where the yards will have to come if the weather is as bad as expected and the UConn defense will get some free points for the Huskies. UConn finishes a tough season with 3 striaght wins before heading to their bowl. Final UConn 27-10!
Bob Balfe
Georgia Tech -1 over Clemson
GTech's rushing offense is just too much for any team to prepare for in just one weeks time, especially a team that lost last week. If GTech can contain Spiller I just do not see Clemson making this game close at all. Clemson does have a good defense, but on the road do not play as well. GTech's offense has actually been better on the road this season and I expect them to go wire to wire tonight. Take GTech.

West Virginia vs. Rutgers
Last week, Tyler Bitancurt kicked a game-winning 43-yard field goal as West Virginia won the 2009 edition of the Backyard Brawl over Pittsburgh. Rutgers running back, Mohamed Sanu, ran for a career-high 148 yards and two touchdowns as the Scarlet Knights crushed Big East rival Louisville, 34-14.
West Virginia opened as a 2.5-point favorite at Pinnacle and are currently receiving 59% of spread bets. Even though the Mountaineers are a considerable public favorite, big bets have come down on Rutgers, shrinking the line four points at Pinnacle. A Steam Move was triggered on the Scarlet Knights at BetOnline (+15 units), so we'll follow this move and the significant reverse-line movement, and grab Rutgers giving one-point at home.
Rutgers -1
Fresno State vs. Illinois
Place Kicker Kevin Goessling played the role of hero in Fresno State's last game, connecting on a 35-yard attempt, as time expired, to give the Bulldogs a 30-28 victory over LouiSIAna Tech. Their opponent, Illinois, was the latest team to face the wrath of the Cincinnati offense, allowing Tony Pike to throw for 399 yards and six touchdowns in a 49-36 loss at Nippert Stadium.
This game opened as a pick at CRIS and public betting has pushed Illinois to a three-point favorite. Fifty-four percent of spread bets have come down on the Fighting Illini, yet SportsInsights' Betting Systems have found value on Fresno State. A Steam Move on the Bulldogs was triggered at 5dimes (+23 units), giving us the confidence to go against the public and take the points.

Florida Atlantic vs. Florida International
In last week's matchup with Western Kentucky, Florida Atlantic (FAU) forced three turnovers in the 29-23 victory over the visiting Hilltoppers. Florida International (FIU) did not play last week, but is still recovering from their game with Florida two weeks ago. As one might expect, that game was all Gators, who completely manhandled the Golden Panthers, 62-3.
FAU opened as a 1.5-point favorite at CRIS and are currently receiving 66% of spread wagers. Although the public is heavily behind FAU, the line has dropped 3.5 points, making FIU a two-point favorite at CRIS. SportsInsights' Betting Systems lit this game up early and often, triggering two positive Smart Money plays and two positive Steam Moves, including one at 5dimes (+23 units), on FIU. We'll follow these strong plays, go against the public and take FIU.
