4 Unit Play. #24 Take Ohio State -15 ½ over Wisconsin (12:00 pm Big Ten Network) Unfortunately, much of the country will not be able to watch this battle of two of the top teams in the country. Did not like the number when it first came out; however, recent info has changed my mind and I expect the Buckeyes to roll yet again. The Badgers strength has always been a punishing running attack but they have struggled this year and will be without RB Smith since it is a road game. RB Hill is banged up and has not practiced much this week and will play but will not be 100%. That means that the Badgers may have to rely on the passing attack and that does not bode well against a very talented defense. The Wisconsin defense has been suspect and this will be the most explosive offensive team they have faced all year. The Badgers two losses came against Penn State and Illinois and both teams were able to light up the scoreboard on them despite being one dimensional. I admit I was wrong about the Buckeyes early, but it is not too late to jump on the wagon, as the Buckeyes continue to roll. Ohio State 35, Wisconsin 10.
4 Unit Play. #25 Take Troy +16 over Georgia (Saturday 1:00 pm) Had the Dawgs last week over Florida and they went on to pull the straight-up victory. After a three-game road trip, one must believe this will be a flat spot for the team from Athens. The Trojans are used to playing heavyweights, as they have already played Arkansas, Florida, and Ohio State. Although the school itself is located in Alabama, over 25 players hail from the state of Georgia, thus Troy will want to play well since numerous family members will be in attendance. Georgia is coming off Florida and has Auburn next week. Can you spell sandwich? Georgia 31, Troy 23.
4 Unit Play. #40 Take Notre Dame -3 ½ over Navy (Saturday 2:30 pm NBC) True, this may be the worst Notre Dame team in the history off the program. However, this will be the weakest opponent that the Irish have faced this season. The Navy defense is sub-par and I expect the Irish offense to finally get on track. No bowl game for the Irish, so expect them to try and finish out the season strong. Navy last lost 43 straight games to Notre Dame and the Irish have never lost five straight games in South Bend. Both streaks will march on, as the tough schedule of Notre Dame will benefit them here, as the Irish win it big. Notre Dame 35, Navy 10.
4 Unit Play. #47 Take Florida State +6 ½ over Boston College (Saturday 8:00 pm ABC) The Eagles pulled off a thriller last Thursday in defeating Virginia Tech despite being outplayed for 58 minutes. They will not be as lucky here going against another solid defense. FSU is very similar to Virginia Tech and we expect another low scoring game which makes this underdog real attractive. The Seminoles have lost three games this season by all have come by single digits. The Noles dominated last year but lost, 24-19, and expect another low scoring game on Saturday night. Florida State 21, Boston College 20.
5 Unit Play. #51 Take Vanderbilt +14 ½ over Florida (Saturday 12:30 pm ESPN Gameplan) The Gators are just running out of gas, it is just as simple as that. Their last four games have been against strong opponents in Auburn, LSU, Kentucky, and Georgia. Of the four, Florida was only able to beat Kentucky, a team that has fallen on the radar recently. Now the oddsmakers expect the Gators to rebound at home, but 16 points is way too much since Vandy is coming off a big win at South Carolina last week. Florida relies heavily on QB Tebow, but the remaining cast is average. Gators win, but closer then what the experts think. Florida 28, Vandy 20.
5 Unit Play. #68 Take Indiana -6 ½ over Ball State (Saturday 12:00 pm Big Ten Network) The Hoosiers were pounded by Wisconsin last week, but everything that could go wrong went wrong. This is an important game for Indiana, especially if they have any visions of making a bowl game for the first time since 1993. Our scouts have been impressed with the practice for Indiana, particularly the play of QB Lewis. Lewis makes this game go and has played well against bad teams this season. Ball State has its own talented QB in Davis, but the difference in this game will be the rushing attack. QB Lewis won his first game against Ball State last year going over 300 total yards and expect Indiana to beat Ball State for the fourth straight time. Indiana 38, Ball State 27.
4 Unit Play. #80 Take Northwestern -1 ½ over Iowa (Saturday 12:00 pm ESPN 2) True, the Hawks are coming off a big win over Michigan State; however, check the stats and a different picture is painted. Total yardage was 468-283 and first downs were 23-13 and the Hawks were on the short end of both. This is not the scenario one would like to see when going on the road. The Hawks are still loaded with injuries on the offensive side of the football. They will have a difficult time trading blows with Northwestern, a team that has shown they can light up the scoreboard. The Cats need the victory to keep their bowl hopes alive and the homer is the only call with an easy cover. Northwestern 28, Iowa 14.
4 Unit Play. #112 Take Kansas City -2 over Green Bay (Sunday 1:00 pm Fox) The Packers are set to invade AFC West territory for the second straight week and will be coming off a short week after their magical victory on Monday night. The Packers have always suffered a letdown when entering a short week with just two pointspread victories in their last seven games following a MNF game. Arrowhead Stadium has always been a tough place to play, especially for NFC teams and the Chiefs have the defense to match-up with the Packers. QB Favre suffers a letdown and tries to do too much when the running game fails early. KC wins this low scoring game. Kansas City 20, Green Bay 16.
3 Unit Play. #113 Take San Diego -7 over Minnesota (Sunday 1:00 pm CBS) I was all set to use the Chargers as a selection last week, but because of the wildfires no line was posted until Friday, which is after the time that we release selections for the weekend. They cruised to a victory last week against a better Houston team then they will face this week in Minnesota. The Chargers are finally playing up to their potential and because they play in a bad division, they should have no problem winning the AFC West for the second straight year. Minnesota has no offense to speak of and Brad Childress in on the hot seat. They have a solid back in Peterson but do not have a quarterback in Jackson. Things have gotten so bad that QB Bollinger may see action and he has been a flop at every stop in the NFL. San Diego will not beat themselves and win this game by double-digits. San Diego 28, Minnesota 10.
4 Unit Play. #131 Take Baltimore +9 over Pittsburgh (Monday 8:30 pm ESPN) Both teams still win games via their defense and this is way too many points to be laying with a run first offense in Pittsburgh. This visitor has owned this series of late going 10-5 in the last 16 meetings (one tie). The Ravens won in Pittsburgh last year, 31-7, and expect a solid effort from them on Monday. Baltimore needs this game more and thus will sneak out a victory in a low scoring game. Baltimore 19, Pittsburgh 1

triple-dime bet402 La.-Monroe 4.0 (-110) Bodog vs 401 Middle Tenn. St.
Analysis: ULM brings in the Sun Belt Conference's #2 rushing offense, averaging over 200 yards per game. This will prove to be the deciding factor when going against a MTSU squad that will play the second game of a back-to-back road situation.
The first time this situation presented itself in 2007, MTSU was hammered by LSU, 44-0. I'm not comparing the Warhawks to the Tigers, but the situation certainly fits.
The Warhawks are also seeking revenge for last year's 35-21 loss to the Blue Raiders.
With ULM averaging 4.6 yards per carry on the ground and the Blue Raiders allowing 4.2 yards per rush - this becomes a HUGE MOUNTAIN to climb for MTSU, who's playing its 10th straight game without a bye this year and has numerous injuries littering the roster.
Go Warhawks on Saturday!

TOM SCOTT'S UNDERDOG GAME OF THE YEAR 102-16!
Wake Forest at VIRGINIA - 12:00 PM EST
Play ON: #378 - VIRGINIA plus the points
If there's one team in the ACC that Virginia owns, it's Wake Forest. The Cavaliers have beaten the Deacons 19 times in the last 21 meetings. Wake was favored in only three of those 21 games (Virginia won all three SU) and we're puzzled as to why the Deacs are favored today. No matter. Virginia is 29-5 SU in its last 34 home games and, in those 34 games, is 10-2 ATS off a loss, 18-4 ATS against ACC opposition, 9-1 ATS as an underdog and 17-2 ATS when coming off a conference game. With Wake just 7-15 ATS as an ACC favorite off a win and 6-17 ATS as league chalk against an opponent off a SU$ loss, we'll be Cavalier about this and recommend the Hoos. PREDICTION: VIRGINIA 19 - Wake Forest 10
