8 Unit Play. Take #122 Wake Forest Demon Deacons +2.5 over Virginia Cavaliers (4p.m., Saturday, October 17 ACCN) UNDERDOG GAME OF THE YEAR Just feel that the wrong team is favored in this game. Wake Forest needed some time off to get healthy, and I feel their offensive is explosive and can score points with their up-tempo style. Virginia has quarterback injury issues, and they are coming off a home loss to NC State. They were not competitive in that game, and they have lost 3 straight games to Wake Forest. Coach Clawson has won 4 straight games when they are an underdog of 3 points or less. This team played NC State much better than did Virginia and would have won that game if not for a couple of fluke plays. Virginia is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against Wake Forest. The underdog is 5-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 8 meetings between the Cavaliers and Demon Deacons. Wake Forest is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.4 Unit Play. Take #126 Over 64 in North Carolina Tar Heels @ Florida State Seminoles (7:30p.m., Saturday, October 17 ABC) We used North Carolina last week as our top play and easily won as they scored 56 points against Virginia Tech. Now they face a worse team in Florida State and expect them to light up the scoreboard again on Saturday. Florida State gave up 42 points to Notre Dame last week in a game that went over the posted total by halftime. North Carolina has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 12 road games. Florida State has gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games.
3 Unit Play. Take #134 Tennessee Volunteers -6 over Kentucky Wildcats (12p.m., Saturday, October 17 SECN) Tennessee has dominated this series and giving less than 7 points makes this a strong play for us. Tennessee is 33-2 straight up and 26-9 ATS against Kentucky over the last 35 meetings. I just trust the Tennessee offense more in this game and hopefully we see the good Jarrett Guarantano in this game. The Volunteers are 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 SEC games.
2 Unit Play. Take #166 Alabama Crimson Tide -4.5 over Georgia Bulldogs (8p.m., Saturday, October 17 CBS) Alabama looked terrible on defense last week, but I expect a much better effort on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa. Georgia does not play an up-tempo spread offense like Ole Miss does, and I expect Alabama to play much better in this game. Georgia has a strong defense, but I am not that impressed with their offense and do not believe Stetson Bennett is a big-time, high division one quarterback. We are getting value with Nick Saban out and this it rates a as play. Alabama has won 5 straight games against Georgia. Alabama put up 723 yards last week, and I am just not sure Georgia can keep pace with them. The Bulldogs are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. Alabama is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Charlie Strong inspires the Alabama defense, and the home team win by double digits.

FRIDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYS1-Unit Play. Take #110 Houston (+5) over BYU (9:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 16)
I know that BYU has been a godless killing machine through most of this season. But their wins have come against a bunch of weak sisters. Also, their last three games have been at home. Now they are going on the road to face a very talented, motivated Houston team that is going to be ready for them. It took Houston a while to get going last week against Tulane. But that was to be expected since it was their first game of the season after a bunch of cancellations. They got that first one under their belts and now they get to line up in the underdog role against a top team in a primetime game. I like Houston to win this one outright.
SATURDAY COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYS
1-Unit Play. Take #112 Virginia Tech (-12) over Boston College (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Maybe I’m just missing the boat on Boston College. I thought they would have some issues adjusting to a new coach and a new scheme. But so far so good and they have gone toe-to-toe with Pitt and North Carolina the last two weeks. However, now they are going on the road to take on a talented Hokies squad that is always tough in Blacksburg. The line in this game has been on the move this week, bumping up from an open of 10.0, despite the fact that most of the action has come in on the underdog. I’ll take one more crack at the Eagles.
2-Unit Play. Take #113 Pittsburgh (+13.5) over Miami (Noon, Saturday, Oct. 17)
Pittsburgh is back in its preferred role. Pat Narduzzi is one of those coaches that is just so much better when he gets to dress up as an underdog. His team thrives in that role. They are coming of back-to-back heartbreakers, losing one-point games to N.C. State and Boston College, and they are now 1-7 ATS in their last eight games. I think a lot of people are writing them off but this is still a tough, hardnosed team. Miami is still overrated. They got hammered last week against Clemson – providing us a top play win – and they could have a letdown this week. Miami hasn’t beaten any good teams yet this year and the last three years these two teams have played grinders. I can see another one here. And if that’s the case I’d rather have the points than be playing against them.
1-Unit Play. Take #120 N.C. State (-4.5) over Duke (3:30, Saturday, Oct. 17)
I still don’t understand all the respect that Duke is getting from oddsmakers. Yes, they won by 14 last week at Syracuse. But they never should’ve been favored in that game and they won despite horribly sloppy play and a ton of turnovers. This Duke team isn’t any good. And they aren’t going to rush for 350 yards again this week against an improving N.C. State defense. The Wolfpack are coming off back-to-back convincing league road wins over Pittsburgh and Virginia, two teams that are better than the Blue Devils. N.C. State won’t be sleeping on a game against their Tobacco Road rivals and this Wolfpack team looks like it is on a mission after last year’s 4-8 debacle. Duke has won win – on the road against a bad Syracuse team – and the Blue Devils should absolutely be catching more than a touchdown here. Duke is 0-8 ATS as an ACC road underdog against an opponent off a straight up underdog win. State’s offense should keep clicking and if Duke continues to turn the ball over at its current rate (19 turnovers in five games) then they are going to get their doors blown off in this one. Lay the points.
5-Unit Play. Take #130 Syracuse (+3.5) over Liberty (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
I know Syracuse stinks. But they still shouldn’t be home underdogs to Liberty. Give me a break. Liberty has played a bunch of nobodies and they were thoroughly unimpressive in wins over North Alabama, Florida International and Western Kentucky. Syracuse beat Georgia Tech and played a bit closer than their scores suggested in losses to Duke, Pitt and North Carolina. Those are big boy teams from the ACC, not the sad sacks that Liberty has been running up against. Dino Babers needs a win. He needs something positive for this team to build on moving forward. Syracuse is 4-0 ATS after a loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 nonconference games. The Orange are also 19-10 ATS as a home underdog in nonconference games and I don’t see Liberty rolling into the Carrier Dome and slapping the Cuse around.
4-Unit Play. Take #132 Georgia Tech (+27) over Clemson (Noon, Saturday, Oct. 17)
I remember watching these two teams line up in Week 1 last year. Clemson ended up winning 52-14, covering the spread thanks to a 51-yard field goal with six minutes left. Ho-hum. However, I distinctly remember that Georgia Tech – playing in its first game with a new coach, completely new system, and a whole bunch of new players – actually outplayed Clemson for stretches in that first half. And if it weren’t for a couple fluke plays – a muffed punt, a fourth down stop and a 90-yard TD run – Tech might’ve hung around. Flash forward to this year. This Clemson team is not as strong as last year’s squad. I also have no idea what their motivation is here. Last year they were playing in a nationally televised Thursday night opener. Now they are playing a noon game, on the road, against a team they have throttled in recent years, and they are coming off a peak effort against overrated Miami last week. So again, what is Clemson’s motivation? Clemson is going to win, obviously. But I just don’t see a 30-35-point pasting coming here. Clemson only beat Miami by 25, Virginia by 18 and Wake Forest by 24. I feel like Tech, which has managed at least 20 points in three straight games, can put up 17-24 points here and that should be good enough to keep them within this number. I’ll call it 45-21 and Tech will find a way to make this number hold up.
1-Unit Play. Take #139 Mississippi (-2.5) over Arkansas (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Arkansas has gotten off to a decent start to the season. They played UGA even for a half, upset Mississippi State and then nearly knocked off Auburn. This is a vastly improved team. However, I think that Ole Miss is a little better and a little further along. They absolutely can’t stop anyone. But they beat Kentucky and went toe-to-toe with both Florida and Alabama. They will turn this one into a track meet. And I just don’t think that Arkansas is deep enough to keep stride for a full 60 minutes.
1-Unit Play. Take #149 Central Florida (-3) over Memphis (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
3-Unit Play. Take #152 UT-San Antonio (+7.5) over Army (1:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
I don’t think that Army is that good. And I don’t think that UT-San Antonio is all that bad. We cashed in with them easily last week against BYU and I really, really wish I had rated that game higher. I think the Roadrunners can pull the upset here at home and I just don’t really trust Army as a road favorite. Army is coming off a 14-9 win over Citadel and a blowout win over Abilene Christian. That doesn’t impress me at all. UT-SA is coming off back-to-back losses to UAB (by 8) and BYU (by 7). Both of those teams are better than Army. Both of those games were on the road. And both of those came right in around this number. Again, there’s not much that Army is going to throw at this UTSA team that they haven’t seen the last two weeks. If Army rolls in here and gets a 20-point blowout then fine; I will tip my hat to them. But I don’t see that happening.
2-Unit Play. Take #153 Louisville (+17) over Notre Dame (2:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
This line seems a bit shaded Notre Dame’s way. Louisville is not very good and is off three straight losses. But they are moving the ball and scoring some points. I think that can continue here. Notre Dame has only played one game in the past month because of Covid and that was last week’s ho-hum 42-26 win over an atrocious Florida State team. That game was just 28-20 near the end of the third quarter and was 35-26 in the middle of the fourth. Duke managed to hang around with the Irish as well. Why not Louisville? I think this is too many points and this strike me as more of a 10-13-point game rather than an 20+ point blowout.
1-Unit Play. Take #166 Alabama (-4.5) over Georgia (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
I know Nick Saban isn’t going to be on the sideline for this game. But do you think that Alabama isn’t going to show up to play? I think that they are going to rally around Steve Sarkisian. I think the enormous talent on this Crimson Tide squad is going to come together and try to “win one for The Gipper”, their COVID-sick coach. Stetson Bennett IV still hasn’t been tested yet. I think people are undervaluing this Crimson Tide team and we’ve seen them show up in a big way in games like this for the past decade. I think they will do it again.
2-Unit Play. Take #167 Southern Miss (-6.5) over UTEP (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Jay Hopson’s Southern Miss team has gotten off to a slow start this year. They are just 1-3 but two of their losses, Louisiana Tech and South Alabama, were games they should’ve won. And Jack Abraham, their senior quarterback, is yet to put a complete game together. I think that they are going to get it going against UTEP here. The Miners are 3-2 on the season, but two of those wins have come against Abilene Christian and Stephen F. Austin. The third win was over UL-Monroe, which is basically a D-II program at this point. If you look at the spread in this matchup the last five years you see Southern Miss -25.5, -14, -23, -13.5 and -24. Now this year they are -6.5? I don’t think that this UTEP team, which is ranked No. 125 in the country in experience, is any better than they have been. And if Southern Miss can just control its turnover issues then they should win this one by double digits.
1-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 64.0 North Carolina at Florida State (7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Carpe diem. Good luck.

3-Unit Play. #134. Take Tennessee Volunteers -6 over Kentucky Wildcats (Saturday @ 12pm est)The Volunteers played a great first half against Georgia and things started to taper off in the second half. This team was actually up against Georgia before things collapsed in the second half and they did it without even being able to run the ball as their quarterback ran for -40 yards and the team ran for -1 yard total in rushing and not to mention a fumble and some interceptions to boot. But, look for the Volunteer QB to be much better today and Pruitt even put in the backup with the first team in this game to send a message here to the veteran quarerback and given that Kentucky got fortunate of sorts againts Missisippi State - basically winning a game with less than 200 yards of offense, they will not be able to duplicate that here against a Tennessee team who gave up 40+ points last game and who will be highly motivated to bounce-back quickly here.
3-Unit Play. #139. Take Arkansas +2 over Mississippi (Saturday @ 3:30pm est)
Arkansas has the offense to hang tough here but the difference is this team has a great defense that has gone under the radar. This team also was robbed in its last game against Auburn and the entire SEC coaching staff and the league know that and sort of feel bad for the Razorbacks. But, Franks the Florida transfer threw for 4 touchdowns for Arkansas, their first year coach has them playing very well and Ole Miss literally does not have a defense and Arkansas has enough of a competent defense to stop Ole Miss here - after all, they nearly beat Auburn at Auburn. Ole Miss also has a big let down as well and consequently, Arkansas surprises some folks here with a nice win and at the least a cover.
3-Unit Play. #166. Take Alabama -4 over Georgia (Saturday @ 8pm est)
No Saban, no worries. He will be simply down the road here and not far from the stadium and if this team is overprepared to begin with, imagine how prepared they will be without Saban on the sidelines. Sarkisian used to coach in the west coach in the Pac, has coached in the NFL and he'll be fine here. Bama will get a great rising speech from Coach Saban and he will rile these guys up and Bama might even play better withotu Saban here than with him on the sidelines as there will be extra juice and focus coming into this game. We'll take a shot on Saban overprepping his guys coming into this game as they will be ready for Georgia in a big way here. I don't know how much I fully trust Bennett here which is what it comes down to, but I do trust Mack and I do trust this Alabama running game and receiving core.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL4 Unit Play. Take #122 Wake Forest +2.5 over Virginia (4:00p.m., Saturday October 17 ACCN)
The Virginia Cavaliers come to Truist Field dropping back-to-back games and early Saturday evening the Demon Deacons will be looking to make it 3-straight. Wake Forest has had a couple weeks off to prepare for the Cavs and I see the passing game of the Demon Deacons winning this game and I’m a bit shocked that we are still getting +2.5 here. Wake Forest is 5-0 ATS against Virginia and the Demon Deacons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.
6 Unit Play. Take #125 Over 64 North Carolina at Florida St (7:00p.m., Saturday October 17 ABC)
We almost pulled the trigger on this total as a 7-Unit Play but with the line movement we dropped it down to a 6-Unit Play. This total opened around 61-62 and I still believe we are getting outstanding betting value here just because of the defense the Noles play. Last week Florida St gave up 42 points to Notre Dame and their last 3 games all 3 of them have gone ‘Over’ the total. In those 3 games the Florida St defense has given up an average of 39.3ppg and I see the Tar Heels having no issues scoring Saturday night. North Carolina beat Virginia Tech las week at home 56-45 and that total flew over and again I see both teams scoring big and we cash another College Football total.
3 Unit Play. Take #149 UCF -3 over Memphis (3:30p.m., Saturday October 17 ABC)
What a matchup Saturday afternoon in the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium as UCF Knights travel to Memphis to play the Tigers. Both teams are coming off losses and if the passing the game of the Knights click early this game could get ugly for the Tigers. Both teams will be avoiding that 2nd loss in the column and I see the Knights taking this road game by 6-points. I know Memphis hasn’t lost a home since 2018 but this 2020 and Memphis is 0-5 ATS last 5 games.

College Football - Friday 10/163 Units - #109 / #110 BYU / Houston (OVER 62.5) *9:30 EST
Look for this one to get out of hand early in terms of scoring BYU’s offense sputtered last week as they overlooked a weak sister, they will come out fired up. Houston we know can go up down the field. Houston has a ton of team speed and BYU has not seen that year with any of their opponents, and Houston will have big scoring plays here, BYU will counter. With Wilson at QB BYU’s offense can click and off a poor game offensively look for BYU to step it up. Houston is run and gun all day long. Your classic Friday Night shootout for CFB.
College Football – Saturday 10/17
6 Units - #158 Middle Tennessee St (-6.5) over North Texas *5 PM EST
We are in the midst of getting some decent trends about teams after 3 or 4 games. One constant here is the North Texas defense is one of the worst in college football, MTSU has a stud QB with over 1000 yards passing and is a dual threat and leads the team in rushing as well, as Asher O’Hara is a stud. NTU giving up 5.6 yards per carry and 579 yards per game on defense, 2nd worst in CFB. As a matter of fact, in their last 25 games, North Texas has 5 ATS covers. North Texas throws like crazy and uses a 2 headed QB monster on offense, but cannot keep up with Asher and company here.
3 Units – #119 / #120 Duke / North Carolina (OVER 60) *3:30 EST
Duke ran a 100 plays last week, they are up-tempo and also love to turn it over. NC State can flat out score. This total has climbed all week for good reason. I have it at 66 on my power numbers. Duke had 36 first downs last week and 600+ yards of offense, NC State / Duke have combined for 7-0 ATS on Overs this season, both teams should be in the mid to high 30’s in this game.
4 Units- #124 South Carolina (+3) vs Auburn *12 Noon EST
Auburn was gifted a game last week against Arky, and frankly Arky has issues scoring. Back to Back raodies here for Auburn as well. Auburn is the most overrated SEC team there is, they got crushed against Georgia (I took Auburn and got burnt). Muschamp is a great underdog coach for SC. Auburn is without 5 KEY starters right now with injuries and their wins have come by smoke and mirrors and getting outgained in games and still winning and again were given the game last week on bad calls. SC a solid team, 65% ATS has a home dog under Muschamp and they can flat out stuff the run on defense. Live dog here.

4-Unit Play - #125-126 North Carolina/Florida State GAME TOTAL OVER 64 -110 (Saturday, October 17, 2020 at 7:00 PM)Take North Carolina/Florida State GAME TOTAL OVER as my top college football pick for Saturday. This pick falls into one my top college football systems and I have this game flying over the posted total here Saturday given the way these 2 teams match up against each other. The over/under is 4-0 for North Carolina in their last 4 games after putting up more than 450 total yards in their previous game and the over/under is 5-1 in Florida State’s last 6 games when playing a team that has a winning record. North Carolina has averaged 37.7 points per game this season and Florida State has averaged 27 points per game at home this season while also averaging 419 yards per game. Florida State has also allowed 39.3 points per game over their last 3 games with opponents averaging 459.3 yards per game against them. Play the OVER

3-Unit Play: Take 124 South Carolina +3.5 over Auburn (12 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)We’ve been waiting for this one. Auburn is an overvalued football team with an offense that was completely stymied by Georgia in a 21-point loss that was even worse than the final score indicates. The offense, or lack thereof, should struggle against a South Carolina defense that’s holding teams to less than 100 yards rushing per game. Another point regarding Auburn being hyped a bit too much was the fact they only beat Arkansas (30-28) because of a bad officiating call. South Carolina has played a decent brand of football against quality opposition and we like them as a home dog. They could have beaten Tennessee, a 31-27 loss, and finished with a 25-18 FD advantage in a loss to Florida before thumping Vanderbilt. One final note: Auburn has been dealing with numerous bumps and bruises that should come into play here. I’m backing South Carolina plus the points on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
3-Unit Play: Take 153 Louisville +17 over Notre Dame (2:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
We had a free video pick against the Irish last weekend and cashed the ticket with Florida State plus the points. We have power rated this number below the current line and we’ll back the underdog. Louisville blew one last week, gaining over 600 yards of offense but turning the ball over multiple times, watching a 21-7 lead vanish in front of their eyes. This time they’re getting an inflated number but if they get the turnover issues taken care of, the Cardinals should hang around and hang the number. I’m taking the points with Louisville. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
3-Unit Play: Take 166 Alabama -4.5 over Georgia (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
The line dropped after it was announced that Nick Saban was headed home to quarantine but there’s no doubt Saban will be part of the game from home with his actual physical presence on the sideline the only difference. The Tide have capable assistants and more importantly, they’re being undervalued. We know about the Tide’s shaky numbers as a favorite of less than 7 points. But this defense, which has shown some leaks, is facing a small QB in Stetson Bennett, and the best part about it, the Tide don’t have to worry about Bennett’s feet...he’s not a dual threat. Alabama has their biggest problems with QBs who can move on the ground. Meanwhile, Mac Jones has been fantastic at QB for the Tide and the offense is rolling. We’ll lay it with Alabama. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
7-Unit Play: Take 167 So Miss -6.5 over UTEP (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
I’m backing So Miss on Saturday night. So Miss got the sharp money this week and we are fine with it at this price, as we have the Golden Eagles winning by at least 10. They picked up a win last time out and I like the way they ran the football. It was an important win because the players have taken to their interim coach and they’ve now had a week to fine tune what he’s brought to the team. They’re exciting and attack on offense where the previous HC (who got fired after one game) led more of a sluggish attack. UTEP is better than recent versions but the offense is still dreadful. The Miners managed just 204 yards rushing on 95 carries against Texas, Abilene Christian, and Louisiana Tech, combined. That’s an average of 68 yards per game on 2.15 yards per carry. Abilene Chirstian isn’t going to intimidate too many FBS opponents and La Tech’s defense is mediocre at best. Following the excitement of a 41-point outburst in their first win of the season, and a week off to prepare for a one-dimensional offense, I expect a strong performance from the favorite. I’m laying the points with Southern Miss on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Thursday:3 Unit Play. Take #105/106 Georgia St vs Arkansas St Over 72 (7:30 PM, Thursday, October 15, ESPN)
Georgia St has posted a 5-1 record to the over in their last six games where they were listed as an underdog and they have gone an excellent 6-2 to the over in their last eight games played in the month of October. Arkansas St has been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone up and over the number in each of their last four games where they were listed as the favorite and they are 6-1 to the over in their last seven following a straight up win. They also have that same 6-1 record to the over in their last seven games overall and they are 4-1 to the over in their last five conference games. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone 5-1 to the over in their last six head to head meetings and that's where we'll have our play as we think both sides are going to get up and down the field on Thursday night.
Friday:
5 Unit Play. Take #107/108 SMU vs Tulane Over 64.5 (6:00 PM, Friday, October 16, ESPN)
3 Unit 6 Point Teaser. Take #107 SMU -0.5 AND Over 58.5
SMU has posted a 9-4 record to the over in their last thirteen games following a straight up win and they are an excellent 11-4 to the over in their last fifteen following a game where they covered the spread. Tulane has been an over team as well in the spot they are in here on Friday as they have gone up and over the number in six of their last eight games following an ATS loss and they are an impressive 7-3 to the over at home where they faced a team with a road winning % of .500 or higher. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone over the total in five of their last seven head to head meetings and that's where we'll have our play as we think this one turns into a shootout in New Orleans on Friday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #110 Houston +5 over BYU (9:30 PM, Friday, October 16, ESPN)
3 Unit 6 Point Teaser. Take #110 Houston +11 AND Over 56.5
Houston has posted a 5-2 ATS record in their last seven games played in the month of October and they have gone a lights out 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 games where they were listed as an underdog. BYU, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last five where they were listed as a favorite on the road and they have failed to cover the number in eight of their last eleven overall where they were laying points. Throw in the fact that BYU is also 0-4 ATS off an ATS loss along with the fact that they are just 2-5 ATS off a straight up win and we're taking the points with the home Cougars in a game that we think they can win outright in Houston on Friday evening.
Saturday:
4 Unit Play. Take #111/112 Boston College vs Virginia Tech Over 62 (8:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, ACC Network)

Virginia Tech has been an over team as well in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone a perfect 4-0 to the over in their last four where they were listed as the favorite and they have that same 4-0 record to the over in their last four ACC games. They have also gone up and over the total in four straight versus a team with a winning record and they are 5-0 to the over in their last five following an ATS loss. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone 4-1-1 to the over in their last six head to head meetings in Blacksburg and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both teams to move the ball fairly easily in this one on Saturday night.
6 Unit Play. Take #116 Temple -11 over South Florida (12:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, ESPN +)
Temple has posted a 6-1 ATS record in their last seven games following an ATS loss and they have that same 6-1 ATS record in their last seven at home where they were listed as the favorite. They have also covered the number in nine of their last twelve home games overall and they are an impressive 25-8 ATS in their last 33 games following a straight up loss. South Florida, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win and they have failed to cover the number in 16 of their last 23 AAC games. Throw in the fact that the Owls are a lights out 41-17 in their last 58 in that same ACC spot and that's where we'll have our as we're laying the points here with the Owls to get the home win and cover in Philly on Saturday afternoon.
4 Unit Play. Take #117/118 Navy vs East Carolina Over 55.5 (12:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, ESPN +)
Navy has posted a 5-1 record to the over in their last six AAC games and they have gone 6-2 to the over in their last eight road games. ECU has been an over team as well in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone a perfect 4-0 to the over in their last four at home where they were listed as an underdog and they are a perfect 7-0 to the over in their last seven as an underdog overall. They have also gone up and over the number in seven of their last ten at home where they faced a team with a road winning % of .500 or lower and they are 7-1 to the over in their last eight conference games. Throw in the fact that these two teams have gone 6-1 to the over in their last seven head to head meetings and that's where we'll have our play as we think both teams are going to struggle to get defensive stops in Carolina on Saturday afternoon.
4 Unit Play. Take #122 Wake Forest +2.5 over Virginia (4:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, ACC Network)
Wake Forest has posted a 4-1-1 ATS record in their last six games where they faced a team with a losing record and they have gone an excellent 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Virginia, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have failed to cover the number in five of their last seven versus a team with a losing record and they are also 2-5 ATS in their last seven on the road when facing a team with a losing record at home. Throw in the fact that the underdog has gone 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight head to head meetings between the two teams along with the fact that the Demon Deacons are a perfect 5-0 ATS in the last five head to head meetings between the two schools and we're taking the points here with Wake in a game that our numbers have them winning outright at home on Saturday afternoon.
3 Unit Play. Take #124 South Carolina +3.5 vs Auburn (12:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, ESPN)
***3.5 available at BetMGM, Circa, Bookmaker, Pinny, DraftKings***
The Gamecocks have posted a 3-1-1 ATS record in their last five SEC games and they have gone an excellent 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a game where they scored 40 points or more. Everyone can see that Auburn is the #15 team in the country so why are they laying only a field goal here. Granted, the game is on the road but one would think the number would be closer to six. Sometimes the odds makers are telling you something and we think the public is going to be all over Auburn here. That makes this an excellent public fade and we're taking the points with South Carolina in a game that we think they win outright at home on Saturday afternoon.
7 Unit Play. Take #125/126 North Carolina vs Florida St Over 64 (7:30 PM, Saturday, October 17, ABC)
Two teams that have been trending to the over will meet when the North Carolina Tarheels hit the road to take on the Florida St Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, FL on Saturday night. The Tarheels have posted a perfect 4-0 record to the over in their last four games following a game where they gained more than 450 total yards and they have gone an excellent 5-2 to the over in their last seven games played in the month of October. They also have that same 5-2 record to the over in their last seven on the road where they were listed as the favorite and they are 9-3 to the over in their last twelve road games overall. Florida St has been an over team as well in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone up and over the number in four of their last five where they were listed as an underdog and they are 5-2 to the over in their last seven at home where they faced a team with a winning record on the road. They have also gone 7-2 to the over following a game where they allowed 40 points or more and they are an impressive 6-2 to the over in their last eight games overall. Throw in the fact that the Seminoles are also 5-1 to the over versus a team with a winning % of .500 or higher while the Tarheels are 7-3 to the over off a straight up win and that's where we'll have our play as we think both teams are going to struggle a bit defensively on Saturday night in Tallahassee.
4 Unit Play. Take #128 West Virginia -22.5 over Kansas (12:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, FOX)
The Mountaineers have posted a perfect 3-0-1 ATS record in their last four home games where they were listed as the favorite and they have gone an excellent 4-1-2 ATS in their last seven where they were giving points overall. Kansas, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday afternoon as they have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last five following a straight up loss and they have that same 1-4 ATS record in their last five versus a team with a winning record. They have also failed to cover the number in five of their last six Big 12 games and they are an awful 4-9 ATS in their last thirteen following a double-digit loss at home. Throw in the fact that the Jayhawks are 3-13 ATS in their last sixteen games following a bye and we're laying the wood here with West Virginia to get the win and cover in Morgantown on Saturday afternoon.
4 Unit Play. Take #144 Mississippi St +5 over Texas A&M (4:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, ESPN)
The Bulldogs have posted a 5-2 ATS record in their last seven home games where they were listed as an underdog and they have gone an excellent 7-3 ATS in their last ten games following an ATS loss. They are also an impressive 16-7 ATS in their last 23 at home and they are 24-8 ATS in their last 32 at home when facing a team with a winning record on the road. The Aggies, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall and they have failed to cover the number in five of their last seven head to head meetings with Miss St. Throw in the fact that this is a great buy low/sell high spot on these teams along with the fact that the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six head to head meetings bewteen these two teams and we're taking the points here with the Bulldogs in a game that our numbers have them winning outright in Starkville on Saturday afternoon.
5 Unit Play. Take #149 Central Florida -3 over Memphis (3:30 PM, Saturday, October 17, ABC)
Memphis has posted am 0-4 ATS record in their last four games where they faced a team with a winning % of .500 or higher and they have that same 0-4 ATS record in their last four games where they were listed as an underdog. They have also failed to cover the number in four of their last five games following a game where they allowed more than 450 total yards and they are an awful 0-5 ATS in their last five overall, including both games this season. Throw in the fact that UCF has dominated the head to head series, going 13-0 SU and 8-4-1 ATS in the last thirteen meetings between the two schools and we're laying the points here with UCF to get the road win and cover in Memphis on Saturday afternoon.
3 Unit Play. Take #152 Texas-San Antonio +7.5 over Army (1:30 PM, Saturday, October 17, CBS Sports Network)
UTSA has posted a perfect 4-0 ATS record in their last four games where they faced a team with a winning record and they are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five games where they were listed as an underdog. They have also covered the number in each of their last six games following a straight up loss and they are an impressive 4-0 ATS off a game where they failed to score 20 points. Army, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last five on the road versus a team with a winning record at home and they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six road games overall. They have also failed to cover the number in five of their last seven following a straight up win and they are an awful 6-17 ATS in their last 23 on the road where they were listed as the favorite. Throw in the fact that the Roadrunners are 8-3 ATS in their last eleven games overall and we're taking the points with them here in a game that we have a bit closer than the odds makers do on Saturday afternoon.
4 Unit Play. Take #153/154 Louisville vs Notre Dame Over 61.5 (2:30 PM, Saturday, October 17, NBC)
Louisville has posted a 5-1 record to the over in their last six road games and they have that same 5-1 record to the over in their last six ACC contests. They have also gone up and over the number in four of their last five where they were listed as the underdog and they are 9-3 to the over in their last twelve where they were catching points on the road. Notre Dame hasn't really been an over team but they went over in a similar spot last week, at home facing a bad team, and it's a spot once again where we think they are going to put up points. Throw in the fact that the Cardinals are also 8-1 to the over in their last nine overall and 11-4 to the over off a straight up loss and that's where we'll have our play as we think this one has a good chance to hit 70 points in South Bend on Saturday afternoon.
4 Unit Play. Take #160 Charlotte -7 over Florida International (8:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, ESPN U)
Charlotte has posted a perfect 4-0 ATS record in their last four conference games and they have gone an excellent 6-1 ATS in their last seven at home where they faced a team with a losing record on the road. They have also covered the number in eight of their last ten versus a team with a losing record overall and they are an impressive 12-5 ATS in their last seventeen home games. FIU, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone just 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and they have that same 2-5 ATS record in their last seven games following a straight up loss. They have also failed to cover the number in four straight games versus a team with a losing record and they are an awful 1-5 ATS in their last six conference games. Throw in the fact that the 49ers are 11-3 ATS in their last fourteen played in the month of October and we're going to lay the TD or so with them here to get the home win and cover in Charlotte on Saturday evening.
4 Unit Play. Take #166 Alabama -4.5 over Georgia (8:00 PM, Saturday, October 17, CBS)
Alabama has posted a perfect 4-0 ATS record in their last four games following a game where they allowed 40 points or more and they are also a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. They have also covered the number in four of their last five home games and they have that same 4-1 ATS record at home in their last five where they were listed as the favorite. Georgia, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday night as they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS win and they have failed to cover the number in seven of their last nine on the road where they were catching points. Yes, the Bulldogs have the best D in the country but Alabama has been an offensive machine this year, putting up 51 PPG. It also takes a top tier college QB if your going to beat Bama (Tebow, Burrow, Watson, Cam Newton, etc) and we're not ever going to put Stetson Bennett on a lost with those guys. Throw in the fact that there was too much of a move in the number once it was announced that Nick Saban tested positive for COVID and we're laying the points here with Bama to get the home win and cover in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night.

3 Unit Play. Take #120 N.C. State -4.5 over Duke (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)Duke got there first win of the season last week at Syracuse and had over 640 yards of offense and might have turned a corner. N.C. State has a surprising 3-1 SU and ATS record and its offense is averaging 34.5 PPG. QB Devin Leary has settled in, the rushing attack is good enough to balance the offense and the team seems to have figured out how to win which has been an issue recently. So what does this game comes down to, turnovers. The Blue Devils have 19 IN FIVE GAMES! Even last week they had four and nothing suggests that will change. Besides teams like Duke that are outscored by seven or more PPG, after scoring 31 points or more in two straight games, are a miserable 10-35 ATS.
4 Unit Play. Take #122 Wake Forest +2.5 over Virginia (4:00 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Here is another ACC conflict where turnovers figure to play a huge impact. Virginia is 1-2 SU and is averaging three miscues a contest. Wake Forest has the same exact record, but has only one turnover in the same amount of games. Virginia running game is at a mere 116 YPG and in spite of averaging 285 passing, they are at only 5.6 yards an attempt, which is 71st out of 76 teams. The Demon Deacons played N.C. State earlier on even terms and is 8-1 ATS vs. defensive teams who give up 31 or more PPG. This doesn’t make sense, yet the Cavaliers are 0-7 ATS vs. defenses allowing 250 or more passing YPG. The Double D’s outright!
7 Unit Play. Take #124 South Carolina +3.5 over Auburn (12:00 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Line available at Circa and Draft Kings
Auburn brought in Chad Morris to juice up the offense as coordinator. At times, the Tigers look good and appear to be headed in the right direction. However, seemingly, just as often are a group of three and outs and with the defense not up to prior units, that leaves Auburn in trouble like it was last week against Arkansas. I’m the first to admit, not a fan of Will Muschamp as a head coach, but South Carolina is in a favorable spot Saturday. The Gamecocks have the better offensive squad and quarterback in this matchup and the defense can more than hold their own against ordinary offenses. Auburn is having problems against the pass and it would not be a shock to see South Carolina use tempo offense from time to time since the Tigers could not stop Arkansas when they used it last week. With Auburn 0-6 ATS off an SEC home win and the Gamecocks 7-0 ATS in SEC home games off a blowout win by 21 points or more, this rooster wins outright.
4 Unit Play. Take #138 UAB -13.5 over Western Kentucky (1:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
UAB has won 20 straight home games and is 14-4-2 ATS. There are those that will tell you oddsmakers have caught up with the Blazers who are 4-4-1 ATS recently, but I don’t think so, at least in this spot. Western Kentucky is averaging only 290 YPG and 19.8 PPG. UAB has a veteran defense and is playing with revenge against a Hilltoppers squad that has failed to cover six straight. With UAB 11-2 ATS in home games after a bye week, they win by 17 or more.
4 Unit Play. Take #162 Louisiana Tech +13.5 over Marshall (6:00 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Marshall has looked fantastic in assembling a 3-0 SU & ATS record, but they are heading into an interesting situation on the road. Skip Holtz is a money underdog coach at 17-9-1 ATS. Louisiana Tech is 3-1 SU and Holtz is 25-15 ATS as home team coach. The Thundering Herd have the stronger squad, but that has often been true of this team in the past and they are 6-17 ATS in road games off a blowout win by 21 points or more over a conference rival. Let’s take the points with the Bulldogs who are 6-0 ATS off a no-cover where the team won as a favorite.

3-Unit Play. Take #111 Boston College (+12) over Virginia Tech (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)This Boston College team is really improved. New head coach Jeff Hafley has gotten the offense going. Boston College is No. 16 in the country in passing yards and they have scored at least 22 points in all four of their games. Boston College is 3-1 SU on the season and off a big OT win over Pittsburgh last week as a 6.5-point underdog. They almost beat North Carolina as a 14-point underdog the week before and I think that they have a chance to pull the upset here against Virginia Tech. The Hokies are coming off a 56-45 loss at North Carolina and they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games going back to last year. Tech was an 11-point favorite at Duke on Oct. 3 and they had to come back in the second half and barely hung on for that win. I had this spread closer to 6.0 so I like the value. Boston College is 19-7 ATS in its last 26 games as an underdog and 20-5 ATS in its last 25 ACC games. The Eagles are 13-5 ATS on the road.
4-Unit Play. Take #130 Syracuse (+3.5) over Liberty (Noon, Saturday, Oct. 17)
I will go with the home team in this one. Liberty is 4-0 and has won six straight games going back to last year. They are going up against better competition in this one. Syracuse is coming off a tough 14-point loss to Duke. I think they will rebound with a win over Hugh Freeze’s Flames though. Syracuse is 4-0 ATS after a win and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games after a double-digit home loss. The Orange are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. Syracuse has a more experienced team and is made up of better recruits. The ACC team should be able to get a win here over the independent opponent here.
3-Unit Play. Take #147 Cincinnati (-3.5) over Tulsa (Noon, Saturday, Oct. 17)
The Bearcats are 3-0 SU this season and currently ranked No. 10 in the country. This team has one of the best defenses in the country and they are allowing just 12.3 points per game. Cincinnati is No. 14 in total yards allowed and No. 12 in passing yards allowed. The Bearcats are 4-2 ATS in their last six games overall and this team is one of the favorites to win the AAC this year. The Bearcats beat Tulsa easily last year at home and they have revenge for a loss here back in 2016. Tulsa is coming off a shocking win over Central Florida in its last game. I think they will have a letdown here and this is the team’s second game since Sept. 20. Tulsa is just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games following a win against the spread. This will be a hard fought game. I think Cincinnati’s defense will make some big plays and the Bearcats will win this one by a touchdown.
6-Unit Play. Take #149 Central Florida (-3)over Memphis (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
I think that Central Florida is the best team in the AAC and I think that Josh Heupel’s team will get a big win here. Central Florida is coming off a shocking 34-26 upset loss to Tulsa in their last game. UCF was up 18 points in that game but too many penalties and turnovers allowed Tulsa to come back and get the upset win. The Golden Knights were off last week with a bye. I think that they used that week to work on things and Heupel will have his team ready for this game. Memphis is also coming off a loss on Oct. 3. They lost to SMU 30-27. That was only their second game of the year. Their first game was on September 5 so I expect this Tigers team to be rusty. Memphis hasn’t beaten Central Florida since 1990. Central Florida is 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings and they won 56-41 in the last meeting in 2018. Memphis is 0-5 ATS in its last five games overall and 0-4 ATS in its last four games against a team with a winning record. I think that Central Florida will be too much for the Tigers here and I like UCF to get a blowout win.
3-Unit Play. Take #167 Southern Miss (-6.5) over UTEP (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17)
Southern Miss got off to a terrible start to the season. They were able to get a win their last time out beating North Texas 41-31 on the road. I think that they will have a great chance of getting another road win here. UTEP is 2-2 this year. One of their wins came over Abilene Crhistian and that was just a 17-13 win. Southern miss has dominated this series. They have beaten UTEP five straight times and that includes a 31-13 win over the Miners last year. The Golden Eagles are 4-1 ATS in their last five games at UTEP and the road team is 4-1 ATS in this series. UTEP is 6-14 ATS in its last 20 games and 7-19 ATS at home. The Miners are 24-48 ATS in their last 72 as an underdog. Take Southern Miss here.

CFB Plays:7-Unit Play. Take #111 Boston College (+12) over Va Tech (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17th)
We have been Boston College fans this season as their defense is good enough to keep them in games and they have found somewhat of a passing attack when their rushing offense struggles. Now we are well aware of how good Va Tech's rushing attack is as they average nearly 300 yards per game on the ground, but its their defense that makes us like BC's chances. Boston College is going to be able to score in this game and they are going to be able to keep it within the number because of that. Va Tech could get up early in this game but their defense isn't good enough to slow down BC. This will be a very exciting game as we see both teams flirting with or possibly getting into the 30s. Take the points here as Boston College is 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 conference games while Va Tech is 0-5 ATS when they are favored by 10.5 points or more.
3-Unit Play. Take #114 Miami (-13.5) over Pittsburgh (noon, Saturday, Oct. 17th)
Miami was going to give Clemson a run. That was what many pundits were saying. This wasn't because Clemson is necessarily down, but due to the fact that Miami is a good football team. Now we get the U on a bounce back where they are a bit undervalued. We see Miami as a three touchdown favorite in this game not a two touchdown favorite. Pittsburgh has a solid defense, but they won't be enough to keep the Panthers in this game. Pittsburgh barely beat a good Louisville team, and struggled with a poor Syracuse team. Not only that, but the Panthers come into this game off two heartbreaking losses, which can take a toll on a team. This is just a tough spot for Pittsburgh as they get an angry and hungry Hurricanes team, and they are playing their second of back-to-back road games. Add to that their QB is dealing with an ankle injury and you have a recipe for disaster. Lay the big number here.
Best of Luck - Strike Point Sports

CFB-Saturday October 17th 2020-
8 Unit Play Take #167 Southern Mississippi -6.5 over UTEP (7:30pm est):
Southern Mississippi is coming off their first win this season in their last game. It was a rough start to the season for the Golden Eagles as their head coach quit after their first game of the season. He was replaced by interim head coach Scotty Walden and there seems to be lots of enthusiasm with Walden running the show. USM has a big time quarterback in Jack Abraham as the 3rd year starter is coming off a 3,000+ yard season and he should make a big difference in this contest. USM has been a decent program at this level as they came into this season with 5 straight winning years overall.
UTEP has been arguably the worst program in the FBS the last few years having went just 2-36 overall in their last 38 games against FBS foes. They are definitely improved this year (how could they not be) but their offense is still bottom of the barrel. Last week they lost 21-17 to Louisiana Tech but 7 of their points came on a kickoff return touchdown. They will struggle to score in this one and keep up with Abraham and the USM offense. Southern Miss has beat UTEP five straight years in a row and they have done so quite easily winning by an average of 24 points per game.
Take Southern Mississippi minus the points.
4 Unit Play Take #123 Auburn -3 over South Carolina (12:00pm est):
South Carolina comes in off what looks to be a 41-7 blowout win over Vanderbilt last week but I think that game was one of the more misleading final scores of the week. I felt the Gamecocks didn't look impressive at all in that victory last Saturday. They are off to a 1-2 start to this season and I feel each of their two losses weren't as close as the actual final score in those contests. Overall the Auburn program is a couple notches higher than South Carolina and though they caught some breaks last week in their win over Arkansas, the Tigers are the better of these two teams in this one. This price is cheap as I made the line closer to Auburn being around a touchdown favorite.
Take Auburn minus the points.
3 Unit Play Take #161 Marshall -13.5 over Louisiana Tech (6:00pm est):
The one thing I look for very early in a CFB season is to try and find a non power-five team who's showing they are playing at much higher levels than expected levels and with that show they have a ton of upside. I think that team this year is the Marshall Thundering Herd. Marshall is off to a 3-0 start to their season and they have looked extremely impressive in each of their first three games covering the spread by an average of 22 points per game. They face off here against a Louisiana Tech team who's won 3 of their 4 games this year but I haven't been impressed. One of those wins was over Southern Miss by a single point in a game that LT trailed the entire 2nd half until the end of the game. They barely got by lowly UTEP last week and were even out-gained by the Miners in the game. The Bulldogs had one of the lowest number of returning starters in CFB coming into the year and overall this program looks to be way down this season.
Take Marshall minus the points.
