10* Alabama +3

Nick Saban always seems to beat his former assistants (except for Jimbo Fisher one time). Bama ran the ball well vs. Cicy and only allowed 6 points and they beat Georgia by 2 TD's in the first meeting.

Take the 3 points.

10* Michigan +7.5

Georgia may have a letdown after a bad loss to Alabama. Michigan should have confidence after a big win vs. Ohio State and BLOWOUT of Iowa.

Take the points and GL.

10* Michigan State -2.5

Pitt will be without QB Kenny Pickett and played in the weak ACC as teams have struggled to win bowl games the past two years. MSU has a better defense and solid running game.

All we need is for MSU to win by 3 or more.

Thanks and GL.

10* USC +9.5

Shane Beamer's team is from the SEC and should be able to stay within 9 of UNC. The Tar Heels will have Sam Howell at QB but are average in skill positions and defense under Mack Brown.

Thanks and GL.

10* Auburn -121

Auburn is playing close to home and played a tougher schedule in the SEC. They took Alabama to OT before losing.

Thanks and GL.

10* Georgia State -5.5

I like the solid running game of Ga State to play well vs. the weak defense of Ball State. The MAC has not done well so far,

Ga State wins by 7 to 10.

10* CFU +7

Florida is the SEC team that is favored but CFU will be motivated playing a state school that has won national titles. CFU coach Gus Malzahn has knowledge pf the SEC and should help CFU stay close.

Thanks and GL.

10* ODU +9.5

ODU has been hot as they started 1-5 and ended 6-6. They just scored 50+. Tulsa ended 6-6 but most of their recent wins were close. They did lose to Navy by 3.

Tulsa may win but I like ODU to cover.

Thanks and GL.

10* EMU +10

I like the underdog in this game as Liberty struggled down the stretch. Hopefully Eastern Michigan can stay within 10.

Thanks and GL.

10* under 36

I like the under as the under have profited 39 of the last 48 games between the service academies as they are familiar with each other and it is usually played in the cold.

36 is a VERY low total but hopefully we see a 14-10 or 21014 score.

Thanks and GL.

10* Pitt -3

Pitt has a better defense and their QB makes less mistakes.

Pitt wins by 7 to 10.

Thanks and GL.

10* Alabama +6.5

Georgia has faced Clemson to open the season and did not face another solid team after that. Alabama has Nick Saban on his side and a nice game by Bryce Young and he wins the Heisman Trophy and Bama is in the playoff along with SEC's Georgia.

Take the points.

10* over 63.5

These two scored over 80 combined last year.

Hopefully we see 65+.

10* EMU +9

I think we see CMU win by 4 to 7 points on Friday. Take the points and GL.

10* North Texas -9.5

Most have this at -10 but there are some below that. I think we see North Texas win by 14 or more.

Thanks and GL.

10* ECU +5.5

ECU has won two in a row. I think we see the Pirates stay close and keep it within 4.

Thanks and GL.

10* over 47

70% of the last 10 have gone in in this rivalry. Hopefully the Navy can score a few points and get this to 50.

10* Temple +16

ECU is off a nice win on Thursday night, a comeback win at home and now faces Temple. I think ECU wins by 12 to 14.

10* under 70.5

Duke has struggled to score vs. UNC and Virginia. Wake Forest is a solid team and put up 70 last week but Duke plays them every year and familiar with the Deacons.

Take the under and GL.

10* SD State +3

SDSU has won 8 in a row vs. Air Force and used to their running game. We get the #1 running team vs. the #1 running defense. Take the +3 and GL.

10* under 77

It is a lot of points. I think we see a game with 66 to 72 points.

Thanks and GL!

10* under 69

These two reached 58 last year.

I think we see 60 to 65 on Saturday.

Thanks and GL.

10* Navy +10.5

Memphis has played lots of close games. I think Memphis wins but only by 6 to 10 points.

Take the +10.5.

10* over 55.5

These two played a game with 83 points last year. Navy changed OC's and has put up more points recently. I think we see 60 or more on Saturday.

Thanks and GL!

10* over 48

ODU is 3-1 ATS after not playing last year and off a tough 38-37 home loss to Buffalo. They are #11 in offensive plays. UTEP is at home and off a low scoring game vs. New Mexico.

I think we see 50-54 points.

10* Duke +18

These two are rivals just 8 miles apart. Duke has just one loss. I expect UNC to win by 10 to 14.

Thanks and GL.

10* NCSU +10

The Wolfpack is home and Clemson is playing their first true road game.

I think Clemson wins by 7 so take the 10 points.

Thanks and GL.

10* Alabama -14

The Tide keep on rolling with Bryce Young at QB and Nick Saban at coach.

Alabama by 17 or more in their SEC opener.

Thanks and GL.

10* CFU -6.5

CFU fell behind 14-0 to Boise St 14-0 but still won 36-31. Gabriel is a solid QB and they outgained Boise by 200 yards.

CFU wins by 10 to 14.

10* Liberty -4

Liberty has been solid at covering. They are well coached by Hugh Freeze (65-35 ATS) and have a good QB who can run and pass.

Liberty by 7. 

Thanks and GL.

10* under 76

Most have this at 76. All it takes is for one team to struggle and we see a game in the 72-74 range. I think we see an under on Monday.

10* Rice +19.5

Rice is 7-3 ATS in their last 10. Won their last road game 20-0. I think we see an Arkansas win by 10 to 14 points. Take the underdog.

Thanks and GL!

10* FSU +20.5

Fresno St has already played a game while Oregon will be playing this game with an early local start. I like the underdog!

10* over 63

These two played a 56-45 (101 points!) game last year. UNC QB Sam Howell is one of the best in the nation.

Thanks and GL.

10* ECU +10.5

This game will be played on a neutral field in Charlotte. QB Holton Ahlers can run and pass and is a junior. Coach Mike Houston has been at ECU for a few years. I think App State wins but like ECU plus the points on Thursday.

Thanks and good luck!

10* under 68.5

Hopefully both teams are slow to score in their opener and we see only 62 to 66 points.

Thanks and GL.

10* under 76.5

All it takes is for one team to miss a field goal or struggle in the title game and we see a 41-35 game that stays under.

Both are solid teams on offense but can step up on defense at time enough to see an under in this pressure game for the title.

Thanks and good luck.

10* under 68

Notre Dame struggled to score in their game with Clemson and looking back to semifinals involving Clemson/Ohio State we have seen scores much lower than 68.

Take the under on Friday.

10* Okla -1

This is a nice match up. UF has played in the SEC and did well vs. Alabama. Okla is 6-1 in their last 7 and has experience playing in this stadium. Kyle Trask is a great QBbut I think OU has the better defense.

OU wins by 5.

10* Liberty +7.5

Liberty played in this bowl last year. The Flames were 3-0 ATS vs. ACC teams and face an undefeated Coastal Carolina team that beat BYU at home. Liberty is well coached by High Freeze who is solid as an underdog and led by a QB who can run and pass...and was good enough to go play at Auburn.

Take Liberty +7.5.

10* Tulsa +14.5

Cincy has had Covid issues and hasn't played since November. Cincy is a strong running teamand Tulsa plays them yearly so they should be prepared. I think Cincy wins but Tulsa stays within 10 to 12 points.

Thanks and goo luck!

10* Virginia +3

These two are going in opposite directions. UVA won last year after losing 15 in a row. VT has had injury issues as well as Covid problems. UVA lost in OT at VT two years ago and should have won. I think the Cavaliers win but take the +3.

Thanks and good luck!

10* BYU -10

Coastal Carolina was ready to face Liberty and now goes against BYU, a team ready to make a statement. QB Zack Wilson has 26 TD's and just 2 picks and run for 8 TD's. CC lost to Louisiana by 48-7 last year and lost to South Carolina by over 20 as well in recent seasons before putting things together this year.

I like BYU to win by more than 10.

10* over 54.5

Clemson should have Trevor Lawrence back and ready to make a statement after not playing in several weeks. Pitt has shown they can score with their QB.

I think we see 60 points so take the over.

10* ND -4

One key to this game is senior QB Ian Book for Notre Dame can pass and run and that helped the Irish beat Clemson.

The UNC defense is young and needs an edge rusher as well as a big/strong tackle inside to slow down the running attack. Mack Brown still needs more recruits on defense.

UNC QB Sam Howell is a great passer but slow and that hurts his efforts to run. OC Luongo has been unsteady in some calls on offense (too many laterals/backward passes that are fumbles if not caught).

This should be a great game but I see ND winning by 7 or more as UNC seems to make key mistakes this year (fumbles and penalties).

10* Liberty +3.5

Liberty is 2-0 vs. ACC teams and won at Va Tech two weeks ago. The Liberty QB can run and pass and played earlier with an SEC team. The Flames are undefeated. NCSU gave up over 40 points to UNC. They are using a back up QB that is up and down.

I think we see a close game on Saturday so take the +3.5.

Thanks and good luck!

10* BC +14

Notre Dame is off a double OT win over #1 Clemson and now travels to Boston in a possible let-down game. BC is 8-1-1 ats in their last 10 home underdogs games. The BC QB transferred to the Eagles from Notre Dame and should be motivated.

I think ND wins but take the points.

10* ECU +28

ECU led Cincy in the 4th quarter last year before losing a close game. Holton Ahlers should be able to complete a few passes to help ECU score. The Bearcats are a good team off wins vs. SMU, Memphis and Houston and may overlook the Pirates.

Cincy wins by 21.

10* Iowa -6.5

Iowa will be at home and facing a Michigan State team that just beat key state rival Michigan. 

I think Iowa bounces back from a loss and wins by 10 to 14.

10* Boise St -14

I think we see BSU win by 20.

BSU 34

AF  14

Thanks and good luck.

10* NC State +16.5

NCSU is 4-1. These two are located just 30 minutes apart in the heart of the state. UNC won last year but NCSU won the three before it and won in OT two years ago in Chapel Hill.

UNC lost at FSU and should bounce back with a win by about 10 points. Take the pointsasthe Wolfpack should be able to run and complete short passes.

10* Central Florida -2.5

The think we see CFU bounce back after a bad loss to Tulsa in which they had a double digit lead before half.

Dillon Gabriel is a solid QB for the Knights with plenty of experience.

CFU has a better defense as well. There should be plenty of points scored. CFU has played well against Memphis in the past.

CFU by 7 points.

10* C Carolina +8

Most books have this at +7.5 or +7.

Coastal Carolina won earlier for us as an underdog at Kansas. I think they can stay within 7 tonight. They have a solid QB who can make some plays on the road.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Va Tech +5.5

Mack Brown is just 8-24 ats as a favorite in the past 32 games. VT is 2-0 and getting a solid effort from their senior running back. UNC is off a close 26-22 win at Boston College after not playing for 3 weeks and was rusty, as expected.

These two have played close games lately and VT is 6-2 ats in the past 8 meetings. I think we see a game decided by 3 or 4 points on Saturday.

Take the points.

10* over 54.5

These two scored 79 points last year in the ACC title game. Clemson has scored 37 vs. Wake Forest but left points off the board and scored 49 at the half vs. Citadel.

Virginia played fast in game one vs. Duke and should get 17 points or more. I think we see close to 60.

Thanks and good luck.....

10* Duke +5.5

Duke is playing their third game while UVA is playing their first. Virginia is without last year's star QB Bryce Perkins.

Duke last badly at Notre Dame due to turnovers and should learn from them.

I expect the Blue Devils to stay close and for the game to end 24-21. Take the points.

10* App State -4.5

Appalachian State at Marshall

3:30 pm Saturday

App State -4.5

App State has lost just twice on the road in the past two years, losing a close one at Penn State and when their QB was injured early at Georgia Southern.

Marshall won big last week but was just 3-8 last year.

ASU  31

Marshall 21

Thanks and good luck.

10* CC +7

CC won 12-7 last year. Coastal has had spring practices while Kansas hasn't and there will be no fans there. 

Kansas may win but CC stays within 7 on Saturday night.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Syracuse +22.5

This line has gone up to over three TD's. Syracuse has won the last two meetings and QB Tommy Devito played backup in one and helped the Orange win.

UNC has Sam Howell back at QB (38 TD's and 7 ints.). The game is at Chapel Hill but no fans will be at Kenan Stadium for Mack Brown's Tar Heels.

There should be plenty of points and I think Syracuse stays within 17 to 21 points in this early start on Saturday.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Ark State +19

I think we see Arkansas State stay within 17 points on Saturday night. Memphis hasn't had much practice. Ark State returns their top two QB's from last year.

10* Army -3

MTSU has not been able to prepare for the Army running attack. This game will be played in front of the Army Cadets so that will give them some advantage.

MTSU has been a decent team in recent years. Army tries to bounce back from some surprising losses after a great year in 2018.

Army wins by 7 or more.

10* Clemson +6.5

Clemson has nice value as LSU jumped ahead early vs. Oklahoma and crushed them. QB Joe Burrow was awesome but the Clemson Tigers will relish being an underdog as they were vs. Alabama last year and won 44-16.

LSU only beat Auburn 23-20 and beat Alabama 46-41 without Tua.

Clemson has a good defense and running game with Etienne and great QB in Trevor Lawrence. The underdogs are well coached with Dabo Swinney.

LSU may win but take the points.

10* under 51.5

Both teams have a solid defense. I think we see a game in the 40's as these two compete for the title.

10* Texas +7 or +7.5

Texas only lost to LSU by 7. Their coach (Herman) has been solid as an underdog. Utah may not be as interesting playing in a smaller bowl while Texas is playing in their home state (San Antonio). Take the points as Sam Ehrling is solid at QB for the Longhorns.

10* under 76.5

Lots of pressure in this game. All it takes is for one team to struggle and we see a game in the 70 to 74 range. Take the under.

10* EMU +11.5

EMU is close to home. Pitt has to travel to the upper midwest to play an average team. Pitt may win but I think EMY stays within 10.

10* La Tech +6.5

Most have this at +6. LT will have more fans playing in the state of Louisiana. Miami has struggled in bowl games. I think Tech can win outright but the points on Thursday.

10* FAU +3.5

The game is being played in Florida. I think we see FAU stay within 3 points on Saturday.

10* Army +11

The game is played at a neutral site (Philly). These rivals usually play an under (13 unders in a row) but the total is down to 40.5 which seems like the market caught up.

I expect a game with Navy winning by 7 to 10 points so take the +10.5 or +11.

10* South Car +27.5

This is a rivalry game. Surely, the team from the SEC and from the same state will be motivated to stay within 27 of Clemson.

10* UVA +3

VT has played well vs. Virginia and won the last 17 meetings but UVA should have won last year. The game is at Virginia on Friday. Bronco Mendenhall should have his team ready and QB Bryce Perkins has been solid running and passing.

Take the points.

10* Va Tech -3

The Hokies have been playing well on offense and defense. They are off a shutout win over Ga Tech and face an average Pittsburgh win off a home OT win over UNC. 

I think we see VT win by 7.

10* Richmond +24.5

This is a rivalry between teams in the state of Virginia. I think JMU wins by 17 to 21 so take the points.

10* Ala -19.5

I think Alabama is mad after losing at home and beats MIss State by 3 TD's or more. Tua is one of the top 3 QB's in college football and Nick Saban will motivate the Crimson Tide.

10* Alabama -5.5

Most books are at -6 but some have 5.5. Alabama has been great at home winning 31 in a row and almost all by 7 or more. They have been great vs. LSU and should be motivated with Joe Burrow being the leader for the Heisman Trophy. I think we see the Crimson Tide win by 7 or more.

10* Stanford -3

Colorado has allowed 30 or more points in all games. Stanford has had a down year but gets back QB Costello and should do enough to win by 4 or more points on Saturday. Coach David Shaw should have his team motivated.

10* Army +14.5

Army is off 4 close losses but beat Air Force the last two years. They are familiar with the Falcons and their offense. Air Force has played well this year as they are 6-2 while Army lost in OT to Michigan and was expected to do well but have had injuries and bad defense.

I think we see a motivated Army team led by QB Hopkins. Take the points which is at +14.5 as I write this.

10* Mich +1.5

MIchigan has struggled vs. Mich State and Ohio State but has been good vs. other teams. ND is off a bye but I think we see Michigan win a close game at home.

10* Navy -14

Navy has played well lately with Perry at QB running the option and making some key pass plays. The Navy defense has been solid as well. We won with Navy last week and go with them again at home vs. South Florida.

10* UNC -3

UNC was off last week. They lost a tough one point game at home to Clemson before that. QB Sam Howell has been solid and coach Mack Brown has been leading the team and motivating the Tar Heels in all phases of the game.

Va Tech has struggled lately and lost by 5 touchdowns at home to Duke.

I think we see UNC win by 6 points or more on Saturday.

10* Navy -1

I think Navy is the better team. Their QB has played well recently.

Navy wins by 6.

10* Texas +11

The game is played in Dallas, Texas at the Cotton Bowl. Texas is 6-0 ats in the last 6 meetings and their coach (Hermann) has been solid as an underdog. Take the points.

10* under 47.5

Games between the service academy have gone under the total in over 75% of meetings in the past 10 years. I like our chances for an under on Saturday.

10* Temple -11 

Temple scored over 40 last year. They were able to upset Md recently as well. ECU is off a nice upset win at ODU thanks to some long TD passes and a blocked punt. Ahlers only completed 8 passes and RB Pinnock was out.

10* ODU -3

Hopefully you can find -2.5 as the game gets closer.

ECU is 2-2 but has home wins vs. William and Mary and NC A&T. They lost badly at NC State and Navy and have been outscored 263-89 in their last 6 road games. Their new coach (Houston) may need this season to adjust.

ODU picked up ECU's defensive coordinator and that should help them adjust. ECU QB Holton Ahlers should improve but has been inconsistent and injury prone.

ODU should have a nice crowd and the team should bounce back after jumping ahead 17-0 at Virginia and then losing 28-17.

10* ODU +31

I think UVA may be looking ahead to a showdown with Notre Dame coming up after playing ODU. Virginia just played a tough game vs. Florida State. ODU has been off and will be motivated to face an ACC school. They only lost to Va Tech by 14.

Take the points.

10* Syracuse +26

The Orange are off a poor game at Maryland. They head back home to play Clemson, a team they have played well against in recent years. Syracuse does have a new QB who made some nice plays in the Terp loss. Clemson has played two home games and now heads to the road to play an ACC conference game. Look for the Orange to stay within 20.

10* Navy -7

ECU is off a home win vs. Gardner Webb but goes on the road to face the NAVY in conference action. Navy is off next week so they can focus on an improved Pirate team that still needs more time under new coach Mike Houston. ECU will win next week at home vs. William and Mary but I think they struggle and lose by 10 or more.

10* Texas A&M

A&M only lost by 2 last year and they return Kellen Mond at QB. Jimbo Fisher used to face Clemson when he coached FSU and A&M played at Alabama last year. The Aggies play in a tough conference. Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence struggled some last week with 2 ints.

Take the points!

10* Rice +19

Rice lost to WF on the road last year. Rice is off a close loss at home to Army. I think we see WF win but the Rice Owls cover. Take the points.

10* NSU +27

These two schools are located about 3 miles apart so NSU will be motivated. ODU has been under .500 the past two years and will have a new QB playing as well as new wide receivers. The game will be played at ODU's renovated stadium.

I think we see Norfolk State stay within 20.

Thanks and good luck.

10* ECU +17.5

ECU fired Scotty Montgomery and brought in Mike Houston, who was at JMU. QB Holton Ahlers is back for his sophomore season after struggling with some injuries. ECU played NCSU is their last game of 2018 and lost badly so they will be motivated vs. an in-state team from the ACC.

NCSU lost their QB and other key players. I think we see ECU stay within 14 on Saturday.

Take the points.

10* Clemson +6

Clemson and Alabama should have a close game. It may depend on Trevor Lawrence making nice passes to open up the running game for Etienne. Clemson lost 24-6 last year to the Crimson Tide as their former QB (Kelly Bryant) struggled to make passes and Bama could focus on the run.

Oklahoma fell behind 28-0 and never really threatened afterwards even though they covered the +14.

I think Clemson can win with their defense but take the points which we see is +6.

10* Texas +13.5

Texas has been tough as an underdog lately with Tom Hermann as coach. We saw them play well vs. Oklahoma twice. Look for Texas to stay within 2 touchdowns.

10* CFU +7.5

I like Central Florida to play well vs. an SEC team. They were able to beat Auburn last year. The motivation of being a big underdog should inspire them.

10* NW +7

I like the underdog in this bowl game that takes place tonight.

10* under 72.5

This is one of the highest totals. All it takes is for one team to struggle or some turnovers and we see 65 to 70 points.

10* UVA +6

I like the underdog in this game. I expect Virginia's qb to make some nice plays running and passing the ball. UVA lost last year in bowl action so I expect Bronco Mendenhall's squad to step up this year.

10* Army -5

The service academies always do well in bowls. They are prepared for it. I like Army by 7 or more.
