Betting news, trends, odds and predictions from various handicappers and websites for Saturday 10/20/18
Preview: Oklahoma at TCU
Oklahoma and TCU were the class of the Big 12 last season and met in the conference's first title game since realignment in 2010, but both have some work to do over the next month in order to make it happen again in 2018. A pair of conference heavyweights coming off three-point losses hope to avoid falling further behind in the conference race Saturday when the 10th-ranked Sooners visit the Horned Frogs.
Despite erasing a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit in less than six minutes, Oklahoma allowed Texas to drive 52 yards in nine plays and convert a 40-yard field goal with nine seconds left in a 48-45 setback on Oct. 6. "To get it back there in a tight game and have a great chance to win a football game says a lot about what we have in the locker room and says a lot about the culture that we have here at Oklahoma," coach Lincoln Riley told reporters. TCU had its heart broken as well, allowing first-time starter Jett Duffey to score the go-ahead touchdown on a 38-yard quarterback draw midway through the fourth quarter in a 17-14 defeat on Oct. 11. The Horned Frogs held the Red Raiders' FBS-best offense 31 points and 238 yards below their season averages, but it wasn't enough to avoid their first home loss in nine outings.
TV: Noon ET, ABC. LINE: Oklahoma -7.5.
ABOUT OKLAHOMA (5-1, 2-1 Big 12): The Sooners are averaging 8.9 yards per play - a mark that would break the FBS record they set last year (8.3) - and are led by Kyler Murray, who has posted a league-best 227.8 passer rating (second in the country) and ranks sixth in the conference with 377 rushing yards. Marquise Brown is tied for the Big 12 lead with seven receiving touchdowns and ranks second in receiving yards (675) and yards per game (112.5) despite getting shut out Sept. 22 against Army. No defensive duo in the country averages more tackles per game than Oklahoma's Curtis Bolton and Kenneth Murray; Bolton ranks third in FBS with a Big 12-high 12.5 and Murray is fourth in the nation with 12.3.
ABOUT TCU (3-3, 1-2): KaVontae Turpin moved into eighth place on the school's all-time receptions list with 140 after posting six catches against Texas Tech; he needs eight more to move into sole possession of seventh place. Sophomore Jalen Reagor boasts a team-high 37 receptions (seventh in the conference) and topped 1,000 receiving yards for his career in his 20th game versus the Red Raiders - tied for the fourth-fastest Horned Frog to accomplish the feat in the Gary Patterson era (2000-present). Preseason Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year Ben Banogu had two sacks as part of an eight-tackle effort against Texas Tech; his 4.5 sacks on the season are tied for the fourth most in the Big 12.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Five of the seven meetings since TCU joined the Big 12 have been decided by seven or fewer points. Oklahoma's two victories last season (38-20 on Nov. 11 and 41-17 in the conference championship) are the two exceptions.
2. The Horned Frogs fell to 111-5 when allowing 17 points or fewer in 116 games under Patterson following the loss to Texas Tech.
3. The Sooners have won 17 consecutive true road games - the longest active streak in the country. Their last such loss came in a 38-33 decision at TCU in 2014.
PREDICTION: Oklahoma 34, TCU 24

Preview: Auburn at Ole Miss
Auburn took a dramatic tumble out of the top 25 with back-to-back losses and has yet to show the type of offensive firepower that was expected of the team. The Tigers will try to bounce back and find the end zone with some consistency when they visit Ole Miss on Saturday.
Auburn failed to score a touchdown in a 23-9 loss at Mississippi State on Oct. 6 and committed three turnovers in a 30-24 home loss to Tennessee last week that snapped the Volunteers' 11-game SEC losing streak. "The reality is we're disappointed because we wanted to have a chance to win a championship this year and that's no longer the case," Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn told reporters. "But our players and our coaches are extremely close. We're in this thing together. We're going to roll up our sleeves this week – this is a big game for us, obviously, going on the road – and get a victory before we get to the off week." The Tigers will see what a team firing on all cylinders offensively looks like with the Rebels, who are averaging 41.6 points behind standout quarterback Jordan Ta'amu and are coming off back-to-back wins. "Now you're coming home at 5-2 and you get some momentum and the crowd fired up about coming and playing another big game in Oxford," Ole Miss coach Matt Luke told reporters. "I think that's what you're most proud of is you get the momentum going forward."
TV: Noon, ET, ESPN. LINE: Auburn -3.5
ABOUT AUBURN (4-3, 1-3 SEC): All three turnovers in last week's loss came from quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who threw a pair of interceptions and lost a fumble. Malzahn reiterated this week that Stidham is his starting quarterback despite the junior posting career worsts with a completion percentage of 60.6 and 7.04 yards per attempt. Malzahn's teams are usually renowned for their rushing attacks, but this season's Tigers rank 11th in the SEC at an average of 158.4 yards on the ground while leading rusher JaTarvious Winslow was held out of the end zone in each of the last three games and is nursing a shoulder injury.
ABOUT OLE MISS (5-2, 1-2): Ta'amu is up to 2,298 yards passing and threw for at least 336 yards in each of the team's five victories. The senior from Hawaii showed off his dual-threat abilities with 141 rushing yards on 17 carries to go along with 387 passing yards and three total touchdowns in last week's 37-33 victory at Arkansas. Ta'amu gets plenty of help from running back Scottie Phillips, who is averaging 6.7 yards per carry with nine TDs on the ground and two more through the air.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Ole Miss WR D.K. Metcalf will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a neck injury.
2. Auburn DB Jeremiah Dinson is suspended for the first half of Saturday's game after being ejected for targeting last week.
3. The Tigers have taken four of the last five meetings, including a 44-23 home victory last season.
PREDICTION: Ole Miss 31, Auburn 24

Preview: Tulsa at Arkansas
The news from the injury front was mostly good for Arkansas as sophomore quarterback Ty Storey and leading rusher Rakeem Boyd appear ready to go when the Razorbacks host Tulsa on Saturday. Storey (head, ribs) and Boyd (back) left last week's 37-33 loss to Ole Miss -- Arkansas' sixth straight setback -- but second-leading rusher Devwah Whaley will have surgery and is expected to miss at least two weeks after sustaining an ankle injury against the Rebels.
"He's a player," left tackle Colton Jackson told reporters about Storey. "If you've got a quarterback that can take those licks though some might be unnecessary that just runs out of the pocket, scrambles and tries to get those extra yards. Man, you love a quarterback like that." Arkansas, which is paying Tulsa $1.45 million to play, must win its final five games to guarantee bowl eligibility after allowing a game-losing 97-yard touchdown drive to Ole Miss in the final 2 minutes, 2 seconds. The Golden Hurricane have dropped five straight after a 25-24 loss to No. 20 South Florida last week, blowing a 14-point lead in the last 7:10. “We just have to stay together,'' redshirt freshman quarterback Seth Boomer told reporters. "Losing sucks and I’m tired of it, but as long as we stay together that’s the most important thing.”
TV: Noon ET, SEC Network. LINE: Arkansas -7
ABOUT TULSA (1-5): Boomer is 19-of-52 for 306 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the last two games after sophomore Luke Skipper completed 58.6 percent of his passes with four TDs and six picks in the first four contests. The Golden Hurricane are 32nd in the country at 209 rushing yards per game thanks to a two-pronged attack from sophomores Shamari Brooks (475 yards, six TDs) and Corey Taylor II (411, four). The defense, led by junior linebacker Cooper Edmiston (team highs of three interceptions and 54 tackles), is allowing 398.5 yards per game after yielding an average of 587.5 over the first six contests in 2017.
ABOUT ARKANSAS (1-6): Storey took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Ole Miss safety Vernon Dasher, who was ejected, and also absorbed a shot to the ribs before leaving in the second quarter. Boyd, a sophomore, had already racked up a career-high 109 yards on seven carries and also left before halftime. Tight end Cheyenne O'Grady has three touchdown receptions in the last three games after missing the first two contests because of suspension and playing sparingly in the next two, while wide receiver La'Michael Pettway caught a TD pass versus Ole Miss for his team-high fourth of the season.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Razorbacks junior LB De'Jon Harris leads the SEC with 77 tackles after recording 13 last week.
2. Tulsa, which has the smallest enrollment among FBS schools at 3,343 (Arkansas 27,558), is 22nd nationally against the pass at 184 yards per game but 114th among the 129 FBS teams in rushing defense at 214.5.
3. Arkansas leads the series 54-15-3 and has won 18 straight meetings, including 19-15 in 2012 in the last encounter.
PREDICTION: Arkansas 31, Tulsa 24

Preview: Maryland at Iowa
Nate Stanley enjoyed a historic outing in No. 22 Iowa’s 42-16 thrashing of Indiana last week as the Hawkeyes piled up over 400 yards of total offense for a fourth consecutive week. Coach Kirk Ferentz likes the club's maturation over a season ago when they averaged only 329 yards, but the Hawkeyes will have to be sharp when they host an opportunistic Maryland team this Saturday.
“I just think we're a little bit more experienced than we were. We were really inexperienced last year at the receiver position, tight end position, quarterback position,” Ferentz said during his weekly press conference. Stanley threw for 320 yards and six touchdowns against the Hoosiers - tying for the second most TD passes in school history - and has 14 touchdowns over the past four games to tie Chuck Long (1985) for the most ever over a four-game stretch. Tight ends Noah Fant (four catches, 102 yards, one TD) and T.J. Hokenson (4-107-2) combined for eight receptions, 209 yards and three TDs, while Toren Young added 96 yards rushing on 19 carries. Maryland picked off five passes, yielded only 179 yards of total offense and was just 43 seconds shy of its first shutout since 2013 in last week's 34-7 rout over Rutgers.
TV: Noon ET, ESPN2. LINE: Iowa -10.
ABOUT MARYLAND (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten): Kasim Hill (8-for-17, 76 yards) threw three touchdown passes against the Scarlet Knights and senior Ty Johnson ran for 121 of his 132 yards in the first half to improve his career total to 2,564 yards - fourth most in school history. The Terrapins are currently fifth in the country and lead the Big Ten in turnover margin, at plus-1.5 per game, and safety Darnell Savage Jr., who had two interceptions last week, is tied for the FBS lead with four. “I’m like a cheerleader for our defense,” interim coach Matt Canada said after the win. “They're around the football and when you're around the football, good things happen.”
ABOUT IOWA (5-1, 2-1): Hockenson and Fant rank first and second, respectively, on the team in receptions and have combined for 692 receiving yards on 45 catches, including nine receiving touchdowns. Maryland relies heavily on the running game (245.2 yards per game), but Iowa's defense allows 2.7 yards per carry - fifth in the country - and is one of four defenses to have allowed only four rushing touchdowns (Alabama, Auburn, North Carolina State). Wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette is averaging 37.4 yards on his five kick returns, which would lead the nation if he had enough returns to qualify.
EXTRA POINTS
1. The teams split their first two meetings all-time with the Hawkeyes coming out on top the last time, 31-15 at home in 2015.
2. The five interceptions last week were Maryland's most since a seven-pick performance against Duke in 1998.
3. Iowa is one win from becoming bowl-eligible for the 17th time in the last 18 seasons.
PREDICTION: Iowa 41, Maryland 17

Preview: Illinois at Wisconsin
Gracenote
Oct 17, 2018
No. 19 Wisconsin looks to bounce back from its first conference loss in nearly two years when it hosts Illinois on Saturday. The Badgers suffered a 38-13 setback to seventh-ranked Michigan in Week 7 to see their College Football Playoff dreams effectively dashed and hope to get over the disappointment of their second loss of the season by beating the Fighting Illini for the ninth consecutive time.
Wisconsin is one of four teams in the Big Ten West with a conference loss, but controls its own destiny in its quest for a third straight division title. The Badgers hope to separate themselves from the logjam by posting their 10th consecutive home win in conference play. Illinois is heading in the wrong direction after surrendering 611 yards in the 46-7 drubbing at the hands of Purdue last weekend. The Fighting Illini, who have lost three of their last four games, have given up an average of 54.5 points in their last two Big Ten setbacks and hope to overcome their defensive deficiencies as they aim to knock off Wisconsin for the first time since a 31-26 victory on Oct. 6, 2007. "I have faith in our scheme as it has a proven success rate," Illinois coach Lovie Smith told reporters. "We have a sound defense … but sometimes execution doesn't necessarily happen."
TV: Noon ET, Fox Sports1. LINE: Wisconsin -24.5.
ABOUT ILLINOIS (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten): AJ Bush Jr. completed 12-of-25 passes for 170 yards and an interception, but scored the Fighting Illini's lone touchdown of the game - a five yard run - in the lopsided loss to Purdue. "We've just got to bounce back and we've got to have a short memory about it," Bush told reporters. "It hurts to lose like that but we've got to bounce back and be tough and be men about it." Tight end Louis Dorsey, who was named to the Mackey Award Preseason watch list after leading the team in touchdown catches last year, revealed on Tuesday that he intends to transfer to another school, making him the fourth player to leave the program this season.
ABOUT WISCONSIN (4-2, 2-1): Alex Hornibrook was limited to 100 yards on 7-of-20 passing with a touchdown and two interceptions, including a pick that was returned for a score, in the loss to Michigan. Jonathan Taylor rushed for 101 yards on 17 carries against the Wolverines to top the century mark for the seventh consecutive game dating to last season, which is the longest active streak in the nation. Starting defensive end Isaiahh Loudermilk is set to miss his second straight game with a leg issue while defensive backs Scott Nelson (leg), D'Cota Dixon (lower-body) and Reggie Pearson (foot) are all questionable for Saturday's clash.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Wisconsin has outscored Illinois 96-36 over the last three meetings.
2. Taylor is ranked second nationally in rushing yards per game (158.3).
3. The Fighting Illini have forced at least one turnover in 20 straight games.
PREDICTION: Wisconsin 34, Illinois 10

Preview: Northwestern at Rutgers
Coming off the best game of his career, senior quarterback Clayton Thorson will lead a Northwestern squad into Rutgers on Saturday seeking a third straight victory and a sixth straight Big Ten triumph on the road. Thorson, who is coming off knee surgery that limited him early in the season, completed 41-of-64 passes for a career-high 455 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Wildcats to a 34-31 overtime triumph over Nebraska last weekend.
He drove the Wildcats 99 yards in the final two minutes to force overtime, and Northwestern won the game when sophomore Drew Luckenbaugh capped his first game with a 37-yard field goal after Nebraska failed to convert a fourth down on its only possession of the extra session. Senior wide receiver Flynn Nagel matched his career high for the second time this season with 12 receptions and recorded career bests with 220 receiving yards and two scores, setting the third-best single-game receiving yard mark in program history and the most by a Big Ten player since 2013. "Guys were pumped up," Nagel told nusports.com. “We knew as an offense we had to take over. We had to step up. We had to make some big plays. Clayton and I looked at each other, and we looked at the other guys, and we said we've got to win this game as an offense. While Northwestern sits tied atop the West division, Rutgers showed last week it has a long way to go for respectability in the Big Ten after getting pounded 34-7 at Maryland.
TV: Noon ET, Big Ten Network. LINE: Northwestern -20.5.
ABOUT NORTHWESTERN (3-3, 3-1 Big Ten): Nagel's 46 receptions and 622 receiving yards are the most by a Northwestern player through the first six games since at least 2000, according to the school’s website. Nagel, who earned Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors, leads the Big Ten and ranks second in the country in receptions per game (8.0) and is tied for 12th in the nation in receiving yards. The running game continues to struggle without Jeremy Larkin (346 yards but did not play due to injury the last three weeks); the Wildcats, who average just 69.8 for the season, ran for just 32 yards against the Huskers after combining for 36 in the previous two weeks.
ABOUT RUTGERS (1-6, 0-4): Freshman quarterback Artur Sitkowski was pulled late in the third quarter against the Terrapins after going 2-for-16 for eight yards and four interceptions, and backup Giovanni Rescigno had his only pass picked off as the Knights mustered just 179 yards of total offense. The lone bright spot was freshman Isaih Pacheco, who ran 22 times for 107 yards and his first touchdown. “When you struggle to run the ball and protect the quarterback, and you struggle to get open against man-coverage and make turnovers, it's going to be tough to win the game," Rutgers coach Chris Ash told reporters. "We've got to figure out something offensively to move the ball consistently and score some points."
EXTRA POINTS
1. Rutgers leads the all-time series 3-0 with wins in 1919, 1989 and 1991, but this meeting is the first Big Ten contest between the two.
2. Scarlet Knights senior linebacker Trevor Morris leads the Big Ten with 62 tackles, and he’s 24 stops away from joining the school’s top-10 list.
3. Northwestern is the least penalized team in the country with only 2.8 per game.
PREDICTION: Northwestern 44, Rutgers 16
__________________
Preview: Michigan at Michigan State
Michigan tries for its seventh straight victory when it travels to face rival Michigan State on Saturday in the Big Ten Conference. The seventh-ranked Wolverines are coming off a home rout of No. 19 Wisconsin 38-13, while the Spartans won at No. 16 Penn State 21-17.
Jim Harbaugh’s squad has been strong offensively during its winning streak, averaging 41.7 points, though in its one road game during that time -- at Northwestern -- Michigan scored 20 points, its only game with less than 38 over that span. Quarterback Shea Patterson has been solid (1,311 yards, 10 touchdowns) but may need to go to the air more often against a Michigan State defense that is No. 1 in the country in rushing defense (62.3 yards per game). His counterpart, the Spartans' Brian Lewerke (1,587 yards, eight TDs), will also have to be solid as Michigan State has struggled with a number of injuries to key skill position players and the Wolverines are No. 1 in the nation against the pass (129.1 yards per game). One player who will draw a lot of attention from the Michigan defense is wide receiver Felton Davis III after he riddled Penn State for eight catches for 100 yards and a pair of second-half scores.
TV: Noon ET, FOX. LINE: Michigan -7
ABOUT MICHIGAN (6-1, 4-0 Big Ten): To beat Michigan State, the Michigan defense is going to need to keep Lewerke in check, and not just through the air, as the junior is one of the better running quarterbacks the Wolverines will face this season. In its lone loss of the season, Michigan allowed Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush to rush 19 times for a team-high 59 yards, similar to Lewerke’s 15 carries for 61 yards in last year’s Michigan State victory over the Wolverines. Lewerke gains yards on more than just designed runs as well, so the Michigan defenders will need to be aware of him scrambling when his passing targets are all covered.
ABOUT MICHIGAN STATE (4-2, 2-1): The availability of many of Michigan State’s best offensive weapons is so unsure because of multiple injuries, coach Mark Dantonio didn’t put out an updated depth chart heading into this contest. Running back LJ Scott’s status is up in the air, so it will likely be up to sophomore Connor Heyward (191 yards, three touchdowns) and freshman La’Darius Jefferson (185, two) to carry the load for the Spartans’ ground attack again. Both showed flashes at the end of the Penn State contest, but need to be at their best from the get-go against a Michigan defense that can clamp down on the passing game in order give Michigan State some needed offensive balance.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Michigan RB Karan Higdon is third in the Big Ten and ninth in the country with 114.5 rushing yards per game.
2. Spartans S Khari Willis was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after tallying a season-high nine tackles and a forced fumble against Penn State.
3. Michigan State has won eight of the last 10 meetings, though the Wolverines took the last encounter in East Lansing in 2016.
PREDICTION: Michigan 24, Michigan State 14
__________________
Preview: Cincinnati at Temple
Off to its first 6-0 start in six years, No. 21 Cincinnati puts its unblemished record on the line Saturday against host Temple. The Bearcats and Owls are each undefeated in conference play - two of the four unbeaten teams in the American Athletic Conference's East Division.
Cincinnati has allowed 24 points in its three road games and is giving up 13.7 points on the season, ranking third among FBS squads. "Their defense did a great job," Tulane coach Willie Fritz said after absorbing a 16-point defeat to the Bearcats earlier this month. "They whipped us up front and did a good job tackling and pressing us. It was hard for our receivers to get open." Temple is coming off a 24-17 road win against Navy - its fourth win in five games following an 0-2 start. "It was a fun game," Owls coach Geoff Collins said. "I am just so amazingly proud. Those guys fought back. They stayed together and made play after play after play in an adverse situation in a hostile environment. You just can't say enough about that group of young men who were in there."
TV: Noon ET, ESPNU. LINE: Temple -3.5
ABOUT CINCINNATI (6-0, 2-0 AAC): The Bearcats have put up at least 34 points in four straight games with Desmond Ridder throwing multiple TDs in each contest. He also has run for a touchdown in each of those four outings, while Michael Warren II has 11 rushing TDs on the year and is seeking his fourth straight 100-yard rushing effort. Six different Bearcats have accumulated between 10-21 receptions with Josiah Deguara leading the team in both categories (21 catches, 296 yards).
ABOUT TEMPLE (4-2, 3-0): The Owls' Anthony Russo threw for a season-high 300 yards in the win over Navy, highlighted by his fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Ventell Bryant. That marked the first TD of the season for Bryant, who leads the team in receptions (26) and yards (343). Ryquell Armstead, who is battling an ankle injury, has six rushing touchdowns in the last three games and a team-high 626 rushing yards on the season.
EXTRA POINTS
1. Temple leads the series 12-7-1 and has won the last three matchups.
2. Cincinnati, which won four games last season, is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2015.
3. No team in the nation has more defensive touchdowns than the Owls (five).
PREDICTION: Cincinnati 33, Temple 13
