Meanwhile, the Warhawks come into this game on a 9-game losing streak after falling at Ole Miss, 35-3, last Saturday.

I like Nebraska's chances, as NCAA teams that need to win their final game of the season to gain Bowl eligibility have cashed 55% since 1980 if they were favored in their final game. Nebraska head coach Matt Rhule has tabbed 3rd string QB Chubba Purdy as the starting QB for this game, and that's all I need to pull the trigger on the Cornhuskers, as Purdy delivered the best performance by a Nebraska QB all season in last week's OT loss at Wisconsin.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the USC Trojans + the points over Washington. The Trojans have lost their last six games ATS, while Washington is 0-3-1 ATS its last four, so something has to give tonight. It's hard to pass up the Trojans as a home underdog, and especially when getting a field goal or more, as USC is 16-7 ATS as a home dog of +3 (or more) points, including 7-1 ATS when it failed to cover the spread by 9+ points in its previous game. Take USC.

At 5 pm, our selection is on the Texas State Bobcats minus the points over Georgia Southern. The Eagles are in 2nd place in the Sun Belt East division with a 3-1 record following a 44-27 blowout of Georgia State last week. Meanwhile, the Bobcats have won just two of four conference games this season, and lost by 18 at home to Troy last week. We'll take Texas State as a home favorite, as NCAA favorites (or PK) have covered 62% of conference games since 1980 if they did NOT have a winning conference record, and were off a SU/ATS loss, and were playing a foe off a SU/ATS win which had a .750 (or better) conference record. Lay the points with the Bobcats. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Pitt is understandably getting more points than that today, and we'll happily take the Panthers + the more than 3 touchdowns, as they fall into a 76.8% ATS system of mine which plays on certain teams off back to back SU/ATS losses vs. undefeated foes off back to back SU/ATS wins.

The Blue Devils will be thrilled to see Wake Forest in Durham tonight, as three of Duke's last four opponents are currently ranked among the nation's Top 20 (Notre Dame (#12), Florida State (#4), Louisville (#15)). Not surprisingly, the Blue Devils lost all three games. But Wake Forest is not an elite team, as the Demon Deacons are 1-4 in ACC Conference play. And the Deacons are especially horrible against the pass, as they give up 256.5 passing yards per game (rank #112 of 130 in country, and dead last in the ACC). So this will be a big step-down in class for Duke. And when Duke's been installed as a favorite vs. an FBS (Division 1) school, it's gone 3-0 SU/ATS this season, and 8-2 ATS its last 10. Duke is also 9-0 SU/ATS its last nine as a home favorite of more than 10 points. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

They now return home to take on the high-octane Ducks, who are averaging 47 ppg. In match-ups between offensive-minded teams and defensive juggernauts, I tend to side with the defense -- and especially if installed as an underdog. We'll play on the Utes as a home underdog, as NCAA home dogs of +4 (or more) points have covered 78% since 1980 (at Game 5 forward) if they gave up 15 ppg (or less) on defense, and their opponent averaged 45+ points on offense.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the San Jose Spartans minus the points over Utah State. The Aggies had their 2-game win streak snapped by Fresno St last week, and are now 3-4 on the season. Today, they'll travel to San Jose, and face a Spartans team looking for its first win in the series since 2008. San Jose should, however, be confident, as it comes into this game off its first FBS win this season. And it was impressive, as it went into New Mexico, and blew out the Lobos, 52-24, as a 6-point road favorite. That bodes well for San Jose tonight, as single-digit home favorites have covered 58% of conference games off a road conference blowout by 28+ points, provided they covered the spread in that blowout by 21+ points. Even better: the Aggies are a soft 2-16 SU and 7-11 ATS when installed as a road underdog vs. a revenge-minded foe. Finally, the Spartans are 21-3 SU and 17-6 ATS as a favorite off a straight-up win, if they are playing an opponent off a loss. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 4 pm, our selection is on the Toledo Rockets minus the points over Miami-Ohio. Both of these teams enter on 6-game win streaks, and this game could be a preview of the MAC Title game in December. We played (and won) on Miami-Ohio three times this season, including each of the past 2 weeks. But will switch gears this Saturday, and go against the RedHawks. Last week, Toledo escaped Muncie, Indiana with a 13-6 victory over Ball State. The good news for Toledo is that MAC Conference road favorites have gone 16-1 SU and 15-2 ATS in conference games after scoring less than 14 points. Take Toledo. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Additionally, Alabama is 45-25 ATS following a win, in which it lost against the spread. With Alabama in off a 24-21 victory as a 19-point favorite vs. Arkansas, we'll take the Crimson Tide on Saturday afternoon. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

We'll go against Arkansas, as SEC Conference favorites of -20 points or less (or PK) are a dreary 188-270-3 ATS (41 percent) at home off a straight-up loss.

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Marshall Thundering Herd + the points over James Madison. The Dukes come into this game with an undefeated 6-0 record, but I like Marshall to hand them their first defeat of the season. Marshall will be looking to redeem itself after two road losses at NC State (48-41) and Georgia St (41-24). And the Herd are 12-3-1 ATS at home off a SU/ATS loss when not favored by more than 3 points. Even better: Sun Belt conference underdogs (or PK) are a solid 87-59 ATS in conference games off back to back SU/ATS losses. And undefeated teams, off back to back ATS wins, with a 5-0 (or better) record, have covered just 14% as home favorites of less than 25 points vs. conference foes off back to back SU/ATS losses. Take Marshall + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

We'll play against Duke on Saturday night, as ACC teams off a loss have not fared well as favorites vs. Conference foes that have a worse conference record, as well as a worse record, overall.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Under in the Kentucky/Missouri game. The Wildcats return home after getting shellacked, 51-13, at Georgia last week.

Going into that Georgia game, Kentucky was allowing just 15.2 ppg. The Wildcats have gone Under in 31 of their last 45 SEC Conference games, including 13-2 Under when the O/U line was between 48 and 56 points. Take the Under.

Auburn is giving up just 322.8 yards per game, 5.19 yards per play, and 18.20 ppg. Indeed, the Tigers have held their five opponents to an average of 15.33 points below their scoring average. And they've gone 58-38 Under their last 96. Finally, this Auburn/LSU series has gone 17-6 under, including each of the five meetings over the previous five years. Take the Under.

I generally don't like playing on teams off such heartbreaking losses, and I won't make an exception here. And especially given how poorly the Wildcats have played off an ATS win away from home vs. winning foes when the Wildcats were an underdog of less than 20 points. Since 2009, they're 0-16 ATS. Finally, Washington State is a perfect 9-0 ATS at home off a loss when not getting more than 2 points. Take the Cougars. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

The Bulldogs had won 14 straight games (dating back to last season) before last week's upset road loss at the hands of the Wyoming Cowboys. Fresno will try to avoid losing for the 2nd straight week, but I don't think it will succeed. The Bulldogs' starting QB, Mikey Keene, sustained an injury in last week's game, and will likely give way to backup Logan Fife for this game. Keene has been brilliant this season, as he's thrown for 1,692 yards and 15 TDs, with just four interceptions. Fife was 7-for-11 vs. Wyoming, but threw a costly interception late in the game. And he's had a high turnover rate, as last season, he was 84-for-120 with 2 TDs but 6 Interceptions. Take Utah State + the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
