Week 4 News and Notes!For those of you that are new, in this section weβll recap what happened last week specifically, the misleading finals, the key injuries, the bad beats and the line moves. Weβll include most of these recaps here, therefore you donβt have to waste time reading about them in my game-by-game write-ups for the upcoming week. Without further adieu, hereβs a run down of what happened last week in the world of CFB.

Misleading FinalsNotre Dame beat Wisconsin 41-13. The most misleading game of the week. Wis-consin had a 315-248 yard edge but were -4 in TOβs. Wisconsin led 13-10 early in the 4Q. ND got a 96-yard kick return TD and also got a pair of long βPick 6βsβ as they outscored Wisconsin 31-0 in the final 14 minutes.Baylor upset Iowa St 31-29. However, Iowa St had 27-15 first down and 479-282 yard edges including 216-123 on the ground. The Cyclones couldnβt finish drives. Outside of their two touchdown marches, they managed nine points on five trips to or inside the Baylor 30. Baylor also got a 98-yard kick return TD.
Michigan St beat Nebraska 23-20 in OT. However, Nebraska had 26-12 first down and 442-254 yard edges including 194-71 on the ground. MSU returned a punt 62 yards for a tying touchdown with 3:47 left in regulation.Michigan beat Rutgers 20-13. However, Rutgers had 21-15 first down and 352-275 yard edges including 196-112 on the ground. Rutgers missed a FG and were stopped on downs 3 times in Michigan territory.Buffalo beat Old Dominion 35-34. However, ODU had 27-17 first down and 433-297 yard edges but were -2 in TOβs. Buffalo blocked a FG and returned it for a TD and also got a 67-yard fumble return TD that keyed a 35-7 halftime lead. ODU dominated the second half but their PAT was missed after scoring a TD with :19 left!Washington beat Cal 31-24 in OT. However, Cal had a 457-326 yard edge but were -2 in TOβs including a fumble at the goal line in OT that ended the game.Oregon beat Arizona 41-19. However, Arizona had 31-17 first down and 435-393 yard edges but were -5 in TOβs. Oregon only led 24-19 entering the 4Q but the Ducks got a 68-yard interception return TD.East Carolina beat Charleston Southern 31-29. However, Charleston Southern had 34-14 first down and 536-388 yard edges. Charleston missed 3 FGβs and ECU got a 23-yard interception return TD.
Bad BeatsAppalachian St (-7) beat Marshall 31-30. App St had dominant 39-20 first down and 566-397 yard edges including 283-127 on the ground. Marshall was +2 in TOβs (scored 10 points off them) and got a 97-yard kick return TD. App St RB Nate Noel made Dnews when he slid down instead of scoring late (would have given App St the cover). Marshall was trying to let App St score so they could get the ball back.UNDER 57 bettors in the Georgia St/Auburn game saw Auburn score a TD on 4th-down with :45 left and then the Tigers got a βPick 6β with :31 left to put the game OVER. Georgia St was the better team for most of the game and Auburn was fortunate to win. It was also a misleading final in that Auburn got a blocked punt TD.
Injuries/Personnel NewsArmy QB Christian Anderson (shoulder) is ? vs Ball St.BYU QB Jarren Hall (Ribs) is probable vs Utah St.UCF QB Dillon Gabriel (shoulder) is out indefinitely. UCF RB Isaiah Bowser (knee) is ? vs Navy this week.Clemson DT Bryan Breese (knee) is out for the season.

Lunsford was 28-21 since taking over at Georgia Southern during the 2017 season. Cornerbacks coach Kevin Whitley will serve as the interim head coach.
Recapping Week 4 Best BetsOur college best bets were an abysmal failure last week at 0-4-1 and most of them not close. Some of you may have won the Indiana/WKU OVER as the line dropped. We still count it as a push. The NFL best bets went a perfect 4-0 to save the weekend.
Bowling Green pulled off the biggest up-set of the season so far as the Falcons beat Minnesota 14-10 as 30.5-point un-derdogs. Bowling Green was as high as 40/1 on the money-line at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas. The upset was ac-tually the largest in college football since the 2017 season.

Games in Rotation Order HOME TEAM IN CAPSThursday, September 30thMIAMI, FL 34 Virginia 27. Will Miami QB DβEriq King play? That is the number one question in this game. We bet Miami -3 on the openers thinking he had at least a 50/50 shot of playing after sitting out last weekβs game. If he does play, this line will see Miami favored by at least a TD, if not more. If King doesnβt play, we think the two young Miami QBβs will be just fine vs a Virginia defense that is allowing 586 ypg in their two ACC games so far. Miami got a school-record 739 yards last week (albeit against very weak competition).Friday, October 1stTULSA 30 Houston 26. We think Tulsa is better than their 1-3 record indicates as they are +1.4 in yards per play margin which is a simple wise guys stat and are +95 ypg this season despite playing games vs Oklahoma St and Ohio St already. On the other side, Houstonβs defense has been great allowing just 245 ypg so far this season and the Cougars have won 3 straight. We donβt see much value in this one.Iowa 27 MARYLAND 21. To win consistently on the road, you need to bring your defense, a ground game and limit your turnovers. Iowa checks all those boxes and itβs a big reason why the Hawkeyes are 19-5-1 ATS as an away favorite the last 8-plus years. Yes, their offense leaves a lot to be desired but their defense has allowed just 85 rush ypg and theyβve played a tougher schedule than Maryland. We bet Iowa -3 on the openers and still like it.2H Byu 35 UTAH ST 23. We like to compare lines this time of year. Last week, Boise St was at Utah St laying 9.5 points. We feel BYU is a better team than Boise so we were a little surprised when we saw BYU open as 8-point favorites here. Yes, the Cougars are on a short week, but theyβre coming off their βflat spotβ game last week vs USF and will be more focused for this one. Remember, as good as Utah St has looked this season, they were fortunate to get wins over Washington St and Air Force. We also bet OVER 50.5 on the openers as we feel the oddsmakers missed this one completely on the open. Jarren Hall should be back at QB for BYU.Saturday, October 2ndFLORIDA ST 29 Syracuse 23. FSU has not opened with four straight losses since 1974, two years before the late coaching legend Bobby Bowden arrived. However, we havenβt seen quit from them yet as they trailed Louisville 31-7 last week in the 2Q and lost 31-23. Meanwhile, Syracuse is 3-1 and pulled off the upset over Liberty last week. The Orange are +1.9 in yards per play margin this year (No. 25 in the country). Our numbers lean FSU here but can you trust them laying points?NORTH CAROLINA 47 Duke 28. The Tar Heels have been high variance so far this season getting upset in the opener to VT, crushing Georgia St and Virginia and then last week losing by 22 to GT as 2-TD favorites. We expect them to rebound here. However, donβt look past this Duke offense averaging 545 ypg this year. We lean with the OVER even with total 70.5.Tulane 35 EAST CAROLINA 29 We think this ECU team is overrated. The Pirates are -98 ypg and are No. 110 in the country in yards per play margin. They were extremely fortunate to beat Marshall and then last week, had a misleading 3-point win over an average FCS team in Charleston Southern (see page 1). Now they face a Tulane team that desperately needs a win at 1-3. Tulane is just -29 ypg despite playing Oklahoma, Ole Miss and one of the better Group of 5 teams (UAB). CLEMSON 32 Boston College 15. We apologize for taking Clemson on these pages last week in their outright loss to NC State in OT. We just didnβt think they Tigers could be so bad on the offensive side of the ball but it turns out...they are. On top of it, they lost RB Will Shipley and DT Bryan Breese. Weβve now downgraded Clemson more than any team in the country. However, our numbers still think they are the play here against a BC team that is 4-0 but against a weak schedule. We bet Clemson on the openers but we arenβt as confident as last week for obvious reasons.Minnesota 23 PURDUE 22. We like Minnesota to bounce back here after suffer-ing the biggest upset loss in CFB in four years last week (lost 14-10 as 30.5-point favorites to BG). We will say after watching the tape, their wasnβt anything fluky as the Gophers only managed 59 yards passing! Theyβre taking on a Purdue team that is also struggling to get points the last two weeks as the Boilers have been banged up. Maybe the best play here is the UNDER which is 4-0 in Purdue games going UNDER by an average of 18.75 ppg.Pittsburgh 31 GEORGIA TECH 30. Pitt has been Jekyll and Hyde all throughout the Pat Narduzzi era. This year has been no different as two weeks ago, they lost outright to Western Michigan as 2-TD favorites. However, last week was good Pitt as they crushed New Hampshire 77-7. Meanwhile, Georgia Tech is off their big upset win over North Carolina as 14.5-point underdogs. Jeff Sims replaced Yates at QB for GT and was 10 of 13 for 112 yards and a TD while also rushing for 128 yards and 3 TDβs. We lean GT and like the OVER here which is a perfect 4-0 in Pitt games going OVER by an average of 19.6 ppg.NC STATE 38 Louisiana Tech 17. The question here is if LT QB Austin Kendall can go or not. Last week we got some insider information on Saturday that Kendall would be out and VIP customers cashed with North Texas and the UNDER in the game. Meanwhile, we suffered a bad loser on these pages fading NC State in their upset win over Clemson. βThe curse is broken, N.C. State fans, finally,β Doeren chuckled. βIβve been here nine years and seen a lot of crazy stuff. And people have talked about it and didnβt believe it. But Iβve got to tell you: I think it was real, and itβs not there anymore.β We think this would be a good spot to fade NC State but not if QB Kendall is a no-go for the Bulldogs.
Appalachian St 32 GEORGIA ST 22. Appalachian St has a couple days extra days of prep after beating Marshall last Thursday. It was a misleading game stats wise and had a very interesting finish with point-spread drama (see page 1). Speaking of misleading finals...Georgia St was on the verge on arguably their biggest win in school history last week. All they had to do was stop Auburn on a 4th&9 with under a minute left. The Tigers got a TD on the play and then Auburn tacked on a βPick 6β as Georgia St fell 34-24 (see bad beats on page 1). We donβt see much value here.SOUTH CAROLINA 24 Troy 17. How does Troy respond after one of the most embarrassing losses in school history last week? The Trojans were 23.5-point fa-vorites but lost to UL-Monroe. Is head coach Chip Lindsey on the hot seat yet? He inherited a team that was 31-8 the 3 years prior to his arrival and Lindsey is just 12-15 here. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks come in off back-to-back SEC losses. If they have any hope of getting to a bowl, they need a win here. We bet UNDER 47.5 on the openers and a sharp betting group took the number down even further yesterday.Army 27 BALL ST 21. Ball St has been a mess this year. The Cardinals are 0-4 ATS failing to cover by 15.25 ppg. They are -1.98 in yards per play margin (No. 120 in the country) and the offense hasnβt topped 13 points in 3 straight games. Itβs tough seeing them have success offensively here vs an Army defense allowing just 278 ypg. Weβd like Army here if not for QB Christian Anderson getting dinged up in last weekβs game. Anderson ran for 236 yards in that one.PENN ST 34 Indiana 20. We pushed on these pages last week with the OVER in the Indiana/WKU game. We gave it out at 64 but if you bet it later in the week, you won. However, we always count our bets on the numbers we give it out at and that was a rare time where the number went against us. Still, we didnβt come away im-pressed with Indiana and havenβt in any of their games this year. Theyβre taking on a Penn St team that should be out for revenge for losing to the Hoosiers on the final play last year in a controversial finish. We bet Penn St -10 on the open and still like them up to -14. The Nittany Lions are +2.17 in ypp margin (No. 21 in the country) while Indiana is -0.41 (No. 105). Memphis 37 TEMPLE 24. A week after a very fortunate win over Mississippi St, the Football gods were against the Tigers last week as they blew a 21-0 lead to UTSA. Theyβre taking on a Temple team that got a win over a bad FCS team in Wagner. Note Mathis did return at QB for the Owls and was 22 of 32 for 292 yards with Jose Baron catching eight for 130. We didnβt see much value in this one but note Temple is +1.35 in ypp this year (No. 35).IOWA ST 41 Kansas 10. Statistically, Iowa St has lived up to their lofty preseason rankings. They are +194 ypg (No. 11) and are +2.19 in ypp margin (No. 20). The problem is they have not one, but two misleading losses already including last week as TD favorites to Baylor (see page 1 for details). Kansas is now 0-3-1 ATS on the season after losing by 19 to Duke last week. Weβre not sure we want to lay this many points with Iowa St but they did cover a big number like this vs UNLV a couple weeks ago. We like UNDER more than anything.Toledo 42 MASSACHUSETTS 14. After a shocking loss to Colorado St as 2-TD favorites, Toledo got back on track last week with a win and cover at Ball St. Mean-while, the same canβt be said for UMass. After showing signs of life on offense vs Boston College and Eastern Michigan, the Minutemen were humbled last week in a 50-point loss to Coastal Carolina. We bet UNDER 62.5 on the open but there has been some clear value lost.ILLINOIS 33 Charlotte 21. Illinois head coach Bret Bielema has arguably cost the Fighting Illini wins in each of the last two weeks. Last weekβs decision to punt on fourth-and-2 from the Boilermakersβ 34-yard line in the 4Q drew questions...βIβm trying to win a game, not lose a game and I know that sounds silly because we just lost it,β Bielema said after making a similar decision for the second straight week and losing both. βBut itβs the decision Iβd make 100 times over to go for it βball on the 5, the defense has been playing that way the whole way. Iβd do it 100 times over.β That doesnβt bode well for the future of Illinois football. However, for this weekβs game we expect Illinois to have success vs a Charlotte defense allowing 234 rush ypg and 6.0 yards per carry. WAKE FOREST 34 Louisville 26. The Demon Deacons have been impressive in their 4-0 start especially the last two weeks with easy wins and covers over Florida St and Virginia. Before the season, head coach Dave Clawson said it was his deepest team yet and donβt look now but Wake should be favorites in their next 4 games and could be 8-0 heading into October. Louisville is off back-to-back upset wins over UCF and Florida St. However, the Cardinals lost WR Braden Smith and LB Monty Montgomery to injury. We lean Wake here especially if you can find a β-6.5β. Western Michigan 30 BUFFALO 24. After getting run over in the opener to Mich-igan, this Western Michigan rush defense has been great with 3 straight games al-lowing 75 yards or less. Theyβve notched three easy wins and covers in a row head-ing into this one. Theyβre taking on a Buffalo team off a misleading 1-point win over Old Dominion last week (see page 1). We like the UNDER here.Ohio St 35 RUTGERS 21. Rutgers is a perfect 4-0 ATS this season with an average cover of 16.6 ppg. After starting the season 3-0 straight up, we wondered howβd they fare at Michigan last week. There were doubters in the market with Michi-gan bet up to 20-point favorites and they looked correct as Michigan led 20-3 at halftime. However, Rutgers dominated the second half and couldβve won the game outright. Theyβll be confident here vs an Ohio St team that could be playing with a backup QB here as make sure you check on CJ Stroudβs status later in week. COASTAL CAROLINA 44 UL-Monroe 10. ULM got a huge outright upset win last week as 23.5-point underdogs vs Troy. Thatβs now two straight wins for ULM after losing 12 straight. Maybe this Terry Bowden hire wasnβt so bad. The problem is they lost their starting QB Rhett Rodriguez to a possible serious injury. Theyβre taking on a Coastal team that just steam-rolled Massachusetts. The Chanticleers are +3.59 yards per play this year (No. 2 in the country) while ULM is -3.00 (No. 129). Thatβs why we canβt take the dog here but we do lean UNDER.Eastern Michigan 31 NORTHERN ILLINOIS 30. Our numbers say the wrong team is favored here. We gave out EMU to VIP customers last week and they steam-rolled Texas St 59-21. It was by far their best performance of the season. Mean-while, NIU beat FCS Maine 41-14. The Huskies are improved this season but we felt they had misleading performances vs Georgia Tech (-128 yards in the win) and Wyoming gave up a ton of points late to them. We think EMU has the better coach.

BOISE ST 31 Nevada 26. Nevada comes in off the bye but the Wolf Pack are a little banged up as starting WR Elijah Cooks is out for the year. Prior to the bye, Nevada was 2-0 and possibly on the way to 3-0 but Kansas St outscored them 21-0 in the 4Q. On the other side, we havenβt been that impressed with Boise St. Theyβve been outgained in 3 of their 4 games and were +5 in TOβs vs UTEP in a misleading blowout. We lean with Nevada here and bet UNDER 60.5 on the open.2H UNDER 45.5 Air Force 26 NEW MEXICO 16. Obviously, the Lobos let us down big time on these pages last week. They flipped to a 2.5-point favorite and led 13-3 at halftime before blowing it. It was announced at kickoff that their entire WR room was out due to COVID (the betting market didnβt know it, otherwise UTEP wouldβve taken money). As of press-time weβre not sure if theyβll be back for this weekβs game. What we are sure of is the New Mexico rush defense allowing just 76 ypg. Theyβll get tested here but DC Rocky Long is as good as it gets when it comes to defending the option. How much success though can the Lobos have offensively vs a AF defense allowing just 18 ppg? We love the UNDER. Usc 30 COLORADO 21. Tough playing on either team at this point. USC has already fired their coach and lost two games outright as double-digit favorites. Last week they lost their first game in the Coliseum to Oregon St since 1960 as their de-fense was torched for 322 rushing yards. Meanwhile, Coloradoβs offense has scored a grand total of 20 points combined in their last 3 games. The Buffs are averaging 85 passing yards per game. Thatβs right 85 passing yards per game! Slight lean on SC here but how much can you trust them.Cincinnati 26 NOTRE DAME 25. We were all set in wanting to bet Cincinnati in this game. The Bearcats come in off a bye and this is arguably the biggest regular season game for them in school history. Meanwhile, Notre Dame had one of the more misleading wins of the entire college football season last week. Wisconsin led ND 13-10 in the 4Q, but the Irish got a kickoff return TD and a couple of long βPick 6βsβ to cap off a 31-0 run in the final 14 minutes to win 41-13. We expected ND to be the slight favorite. They have won 26 straight home games. We expected ND money to come in this week (it hasnβt) so we bet ND on the openers hoping to play back Cincinnati for more money with a βplus-numberβ in front of them. Obviously, Cin-cinnati head coach Luke Fickell and former Cincy DC Marcus Freeman who was hired at ND this year are very familiar with one another. As of now, weβre passing.SAN JOSE ST 37 New Mexico St 13. San Jose St comes in after a humbling 23-3 loss at Western Michigan. How much do they have in the tank after back-to-back long road trips to Hawaii and WMU? Theyβre also dealing with a possible serious injury to starting QB Nick Starkel. New Mexico St is 1-4 on the year with the only win coming against a below average FCS team. However, their offense has shown some life with back-to-back games of 400 yards. We lean with the big road dog here and also bet the UNDER on the openers. OREGON ST 28 Washington 27. Two different sharp betting groups hit this game early this week and itβs the biggest side mover from the open. Last week, Washing-ton got a misleading OT win over Cal. The Huskies were without three key starters. Tight end Cade Otton was in COVID-19 protocols and unable to play. Cornerback Trent McDuffie was out after appearing to suffer a leg injury last week against Arkansas State. Tight end Jack Westover was also out with an apparent injury. Lake said he anticipates Otton will not be available for next weekβs game at Oregon State. Thatβs a big loss for a team struggling in the pass game. Meanwhile, Oregon St is off their biggest win of the season defeating USC in the Coliseum for the first time since 1960 (had lost 24 straight). How do they handle getting pats on the back all week?CALIFORNIA 31 Washington St 23. We think California is better than their 1-3 record indicates as those losses are by a combined 14 points. That includes last week losing in OT to Washington in a misleading game (see page 1). Meanwhile, what will the frame of mind be for Washington St? Theyβre 1-3 and dealing with a lot of off-field issues. Last week near the WSU campus, one person was killed and Brandon Gray, a junior wide receiver, was also shot and is in serious but stable condition. We lean OVER.Oregon 34 STANFORD 24. Outside of the great win at Ohio St, we havenβt been that impressed with Oregon this year. Last week against lowly Arizona, the Ducks had 31-17 first down and 435-393 yard deficits but were +5 in TOβs. Oregon only led 24-19 entering the 4Q but got a 68-yard interception return TD late to seal it. Meanwhile, on the farm for the first time in 665 days, Stanford lost to UCLA. The Cardinal had played 7 straight road games. David Shaw, one of the most overrated coaches in the country said this after settling for a 48-yard field goal on fourth-and-2 with 9:10 to play down 28-21. βItβs not even a question for me,β Shaw said. βTake all the analytics you want. Analytics donβt matter. Football matters. One-score game with nine minutes to go and thatβs what we did.β Lean Ducks who get back All-American DE Thibodeaux.Central Michigan 28 MIAMI, OH 27. This is basically a coin flip game. The Chips may have found a spark last week as they outscored FIU 21-0 in the fourth quarter. CMU QB Richardson came off the bench and threw 276 yards and 3 TD passes. Meanwhile, Miami was beat up pretty good on the line of scrimmage vs Army last week getting out-rushed 384-28. Not sure we see much value here.KENT ST 35 Bowling Green 17. Bowling Green is one of the most improved teams in the country. The Falcons are 4-0 ATS with an average cover of 17.5 ppg! Last week, they pulled the biggest upset in CFB in 4 years beating Minnesota out-right as 30.5-point favorites! There wasnβt anything fluky about the result as they held Minny to 59 yards passing. Meanwhile, Kent St is a disappointing 1-3 but those 3 losses have comes against Texas A&M, Iowa and Maryland. In all 3 of those games, Kent St had an opportunity for the cover and didnβt get it. We think they are the sharp side here but we also bet the UNDER. BG games are 4-0 to the UNDER by 14.4 ppg and Kent St games are also 4-0 to the UNDER by 13.8 ppg.ALABAMA 45 Ole Miss 31. Weβve been high on Ole Miss all year. We had them in our Top 20 to start the season and now have them No. 7. The Rebels come in off a bye and are +2.91 in yards per play margin (No. 6) while also out-gaining their opponents by 294 ypg (No. 1). The Tide have played the tougher schedule and are +2.4 (No. 13) and +182 ypg (No. 17) in those metrics. Last year, Ole Miss lost 63-48 giving the Crimson Tide a scare. This yearβs Ole Miss team is better while Alabama isnβt as good as last yearβs team. Thatβs why we bet Ole Miss +20 bet on the openers.
Ucf 35 NAVY 20. The big story here is that UCF QB Dillon Gabriel wonβt be playing after suffering a collarbone injury in the Louisville game on the final plau. Mikey Keene will get his first start here for the Knights who are banged up at other positions as well. Meanwhile, Navy came off their bye last week and looked im-proved βonlyβ losing by 8 at Houston. We lean with the dog here.SMU 41 Usf 23. Obviously, SMU far exceeded our expectations last week when they beat us on these pages last week in a 42-34 win at TCU as 9.5-point underdogs. SMU had a 595-446 yard edge including 350-170 on the ground. βItβs a battle for credibility for us,β Sonny Dykes said. βIt always is. Nobody wants to pay attention to us and say weβre any good. And our guys pick up on that.β You have our attention now SMU. Now youβre taking on a USF team that is off their best performance of the season, a close loss at BYU. We lean UNDER here as USF games average 56 ppg this year while SMU games 66.OKLAHOMA ST 28 Baylor 22. Fading Oklahoma St was yet another loser on these pages last week as they beat Kansas St 31-20. It was the 2nd straight week the Cowboys didnβt score in the second half though as they raced out to a 31-10 lead in the 2Q. Theyβre taking on a Baylor team off a fortunate upset win over Iowa St last week as the Bears were outgained by nearly 200 yards. They benefitted from several special teams plays including a 98-yard kick return TD. Baylor is No. 4 in yards per play margin (+2.99) and No. 7 in ypg game margin (+201) but played a weak schedule prior to last week. We lean Oklahoma St here but want a β-3β to show.GEORGIA 34 Arkansas 17. Arkansas is now 4-0 ATS on the season with an aver-age cover of 13.25 ppg. They are the most improved Power 5 program in the country the last couple of years. 2nd-year head coach Sam Pittman is doing a phenomenal job here. However, this is a tough spot for them. Theyβre playing against arguably the most impressive team in CFB so far this season. The Bulldogs are +3.64 in yards per play margin (No. 1) and +273 ypg (No. 2). Their outscoring their opponents by an average of 42-6! However, this is a really big number here. Arkansas hasnβt been a slouch in the stats either at +2.98 in ypp (No. 5) and +215 ypg (No. 5). Weβd be all set in taking them here if not for a couple of their players banged up after last weekβs game including QB Jefferson.Ohio 31 AKRON 23. Frank Solich isnβt walking through that door again. After a nice 15-year run, the Bobcats are back to being a bad MAC program. It didnβt take long as they are 0-4 ATS failing to cover by 20.9 ppg. Last week their only TD came on a 55-yard run on the final play vs an overrated Northwestern team. Meanwhile, Akron is dead last at -3.06 in yards per play. It doesnβt help when Auburn and Ohio St have already been played. We lean with the dog here.MISSOURI 35 Tennessee 30. Missouri is 0-4 ATS this season but it isnβt as bad as it sounds as they are a combined -16 ATS points. Most of their games have been relatively close to the number including falling in OT at Boston College last week as 1-point underdogs. There is some legit concern about a rush defense that is allowing 269 ypg and 6.1 yards per carry. Theyβre taking on a Tennessee team that stayed with Florida early last week. However, the Vols have been plagued with dropped passes and QB over-throws this year. Is Hendon Hooker 100% healthy? Sure didnβt look like it at the end of last weekβs game. We wanted to bet the OVER but the total came a bit higher than expected. We are surprised Missouri is only laying 3.Texas 35 TCU 31. Texas is rolling on the offensive side of the ball with Casey Thompson at QB. With Thompson at the controls, the Longhorns have scored more than 40 points in the first half in consecutive games and have easily covered point-spreads. They should have success against a TCU defense that allowed 595 yards and 42 points last week vs SMU as we lost on these pages backing them. It was embarrassing to see the Horned Frogs give up 350 rush yards. βI thought SMU wanted it more,β TCU coach Gary Patterson said. βI told them, when somebody hates you, you have to change your frame of mind. They hate us. Itβs simple.β Weβre wondering if the game has passed head coach Patterson by. Heβs just 20-18 straight up the last 3-plus years and has gone 25-37-3 ATS since 2016. He has beat Texas 4 of the last 5 years though but that was prior to Sarkisian.Florida 31 KENTUCKY 20. We think the Gators might be under-valued in the markets. They are +2.37 in yards per play margin (No. 15) and +193 ypg (No. 12). We have them No. 6 in the country in our power ratings. Kentucky will try to line up and play βmano a manoβ here as the Wildcats are out-rushing opponents by an average of 200-88. The problem is Florida out-rushed their opponents by an average of 326-107 and the Gators have played the tougher schedule so far. Florida has not lost to Kentucky in Lexington since 1986 and it ainβt happening on Saturday night either. We like the Gators and the UNDER.2H Oklahoma 33 KANSAS ST 19. We think this line is a little short due to Kansas Stβs past success vs Oklahoma. The Wildcats beat the Sooners outright in 2019 as 23.5-point underdogs and last year beat them in Norman as 27.5-point dogs. It also doesnβt help that besides a blowout over an FCS team, Oklahoma is 0-3 ATS vs FBS teams failing to cover by 18.7 ppg. It was so bad last week that the home crowd booed Heisman candidate QB Spencer Rattler and chanted that they wanted the backup. However, we donβt think the QB situation is all that great with Kansas St with Skylar Thompson out (latest word was he is unlikely to play this week). Heβs the one who led the upsets over the Sooners the last two years. The Wildcats let us down greatly on these pages last week and the box score was worse than the final. Our numbers are strong on Oklahoma here and we bet them -10 on the openers. Kansas Stβs backup Will Howard is also less than 100%. If Thompson plays for Kansas St, we have a 50/50 bet, if he doesnβt play we have a great bet! Weβre willing to take a chance on Boomer here.FLORIDA ATLANTIC 33 Florida International 20. The Shula bowl has seen FAU easily win and cover each of the last 4 years. In fact, FAU is +28 ppg in those contests and has covered them by an average of 20 ppg. They will be looking to rebound off a blowout loss at Air Force last week. Meanwhile, FIU blew a 17-point lead vs Central Michigan. It was the 2nd game this year that FIU has let one slip away. FAU has played the tougher schedule and will get another win and cover here. We laid -10 on the openers.
5
VANDERBILT 34 Connecticut 17. Connecticut does looked improved with Phom-machanh at QB. Last week UConn led Wyoming 13-3 at halftime as 31.5-point underdogs only to lose 24-22. Itβs tough laying points with this bad Vanderbilt team but we feel the market has over-reacted to last weekβs performances by both teams (Vandy lost 62-0 to Georgia). We bet Vanderbilt -14 on the openers.WEST VIRGINIA 34 Texas Tech 24. We are a little bit surprised with this line especially with Texas Tech QB Tyler Shough out. Henry Colombi has plenty of ex-perience for the Red Raiders but we thought we saw glimpses of the defense βquit-tingβ in last weekβs 70-35 loss to Texas. Head coach Matt Wells is already on the hot-seat and that was the first legit opponent the Red Raiders had played this season (no we donβt count a Dana Holgorsen led Houston team). West Virginia out-played Oklahoma on the road last week and should have won if not for some self-inflicted wounds (bad snaps, penalties). Head coach Neal Brown has come up short vs Texas Tech each of the last two years but we think WVU gets it done here.LSU 30 Auburn 26. LSU does have revenge for an embarrassing 48-11 loss to Auburn last year. Meanwhile, Auburn was extremely fortunate to get a win over Georgia St last week as they scored two TDβs in the final :45. Now they have a QB controversy on their hands with LSU transfer TJ Finley leading the comeback and new coach Harsin benching Bo Nix. Meanwhile, LSU is a banged up team but they notched a big win at Mississippi St last week racing out to a 28-10 lead and holding on. We bet the OVER as LSUβs defense could be missing several starters but their pass offense remains explosive.WISCONSIN 21 Michigan 20. Wisconsin is +190 ypg on the season yet find them-selves 1-2 straight up. Last weekβs 41-13 loss to Notre Dame was arguably the most misleading final of the entire CFB season so far. Wisconsin led 13-10 in the fourth quarter but were done in by a 98-yard kick return TD and a pair of βPick 6βsβ. Was Michigan exposed vs Rutgers in the second half? After leading 20-3 at halftime vs the Scarlet Knights the Wolverines were fortunate to win. This is their first road game of the season and QB McNamara will have to find some success in the air. We think Wisconsin is the sharp side here but do you trust QB Mertz?TEXAS A&M 28 Mississippi St 20. A&M found themselves down 17-0 early to Arkansas last week and the Aggies donβt have a come-from-behind offense this season. It was surprising that their defense was gashed for 443 yards and looked like it wasnβt ready for Arkansasβ speed early. On the other side, the Bulldogs are like a box of chocolates. You never know what youβre going to get. That isnβt just every week, itβs a different team showing up in different halves during games this year. Our numbers like A&M here but the early money has been on Miss St. Pass.Arkansas St 32 GEORGIA SOUTHERN 31. Georgia Southern fired coach Chad Lunsford on Sunday after the Eagles got off to 1-3 start. Lunsford was 28-21 since taking over at Georgia Southern during the 2017 season. Cornerbacks coach Kevin Whitley will serve as the interim head coach. Arkansas Stβs defense has been atro-cious this year allowing 7.9 yards per play (dead last in the country). We expect a lot of points in this one but the market is all over it. We do lean with Arkansas St.UTSA 39 Unlv 19. Want to see the difference in making a good hire vs a bad one? Look no further than these two who are both 2nd-year coaches. UTSA is 11-5 SU under 2nd-year coach Jeff Traylor. The Roadrunners are a perfect 4-0 SU and 4-0 ATS this season and are coming off a thrilling come-from-behind win at Memphis last week. Meanwhile, the Rebels are 0-10 SU under Marcus Arroyo. They did argu-ably have their best performance last week in a near-upset of Fresno St as 30-point underdogs. βThereβs no moral victories. They know that,β Arroyo said. βWe want that win, but we have to go find it. Weβre disappointed, but Iβm proud. Weβre going in the right direction.β The Rebels will lose their 11th straight here but we donβt see much value. Weβre hoping for a β+21.5β to show. RICE 27 Southern Miss 24. There are no locks in this industry. Period! Want proof? How about us betting Rice -20 on the openers last week. The Owls closed as a 37-point favorite vs Texas Southern. 17 points of closing line value! And how much did it pay? Zero Point Zero as Rice won 48-34. The Owls are now 0-4 ATS this year failing to cover by 21.5 ppg. On the bright side, the OVER is also 4-0 in their games this year. Thatβs what we bet in this game as we liked what we saw from Southern Missβ offense in small doses vs Alabama last week.UL-Lafayette 34 SOUTH ALABAMA 18. Another example of why we like com-paring lines this time of year. ULL was a 14.5-point favorite at Georgia Southern last week. GS is power-rated similarly to this South Alabama team. However, ULL only opened as 10-point favorites here and we bet ULL. 3-0 South Alabama comes in off a bye but who in the heck have they played this season? Not a single opponent in the Top 115 of our ratings and Jeff Sagarin ranks their strength of schedule at No. 194 including FCS teams!UAB 27 Liberty 24. This is the first game in UABβs new stadium as the Blazers have played 4 straight games away from home this year. Protective Stadium seats 47,100 and the Blazers closed out the old Legion Field with a 21-1 straight up mark. UAB is an impressive 3-1 so far this season (only loss to Georgia) including an up-set over Tulane last week. Meanwhile, Libertyβs 11-game cover streak ended in an upset loss to Syracuse last week. The Flames had their chances late but were stopped on downs at the goal line and also turned it over which gave Syracuse a short field for the game-winning FG. Tough fading Hugh Freeze but UAB should be playing with their hair on fire here.Marshall 37 MIDDLE TENNESSEE 28. The OVER is a perfect 4-0 in Marshall games this year. Last week, the Herd nearly upset Appalachian St but they were +2 in TOβs and got a long kick return TD. Meanwhile, Middle Tennesseeβs offense got new life with QB Chase Cunningham who was 28 of 40 for 379 yards and 5 TDβs and also ran for 65 yards in his first career start. We wanted to bet the OVER here but the market is finally catching up with Marshall games.NEBRASKA 30 Northwestern 19. Another close loss for Nebraska in a game they dominated in the box score. It has been a common theme in the Scott Frost era. Nebraska had 26-12 first down and 442-254 yard edges vs Michigan St last week but gave up a punt return TD late. Special teams have been a constant problem for Frost and Company. βWe didnβt have any business losing that game,β Frost said. The Huskers should get the win here but do you trust Frost and Company laying double-digits to a Northwestern team that has beat them 3 of the last 4 years.
Brad Powersβ Personal Bets
3H MICHIGAN ST 38 Western Kentucky 23. This is our favorite power ratingsβ play of the week. Last week Indiana was a 9-point favorite at WKU. That means the Hoosiers would have been laying at least 13-14 points at home vs WKU. Michigan St is a better team than Indiana right now or at least power-rated similarly. Yet, the Spartans were only laying 8 on the openers and we gave MSU out as one of our top VIP plays on Sunday. Tough playing Big Ten teams in back-to-back weeks for WKU. We think people of scared of the back-door with WKUβs offense. Weβre not.
3H OVER 48.5 UTEP 30 Old Dominion 24. Obviously, UTEP beat us on these pages last week. We felt good considering New Mexico flipped to favorite late in the week and led UTEP 13-3 at halftime. However, the Miners dominated the sec-ond half. This is clearly and improved UTEP team this year but letβs see how they handle some expectations now. ODU is better than what many people thought after not playing last year. The Monarchs are 3-1 ATS and their only non-cover was by a 0.5-point. They had a very misleading loss to Buffalo last week. We bet the OVER here as ODU is No. 11 in the country in plays per game offensively.UCLA 30 Arizona St 26. This is a really important game in the Pac-12 South and the winner might have the inside track of winning it this year. Especially consid-ering how USC and Utah have been struggling. Both teams got bounce-back wins after upset losses last week. The Sun Devils beat Colorado 35-13 to move to 3-1 while UCLA won at Stanford 35-24 to also move to 3-1. UCLA QB Dorian Thomp-son-Robinson was a little banged up last week. That is the only thing preventing us from taking the Bruins here. Also note ASU is +2.7 in yards per play margin (No. 8).Fresno St 40 HAWAII 28. Fresno Stβs 4-0 ATS start to the season came to a crash-ing half last week as the Bulldogs nearly lost outright as 30-point favorites to UNLV. QB Jake Haener threw for 5 TDβs in that one to lead a second half comeback. He continues his passing game assault with a 15-to-2 TD-to-INT ratio while already throwing for 1,842 yards in 5 games. Meanwhile, Hawaii got the win and cover at New Mexico St last week. We lean with the OVER here.

For the past five seasons we have posted computer projected lines for every game. Games where there was of difference of more than 3 points saw our computer lines actually beat the Vegas line at a 373-302-12 (55%) including an outstanding 71-50 (59%) last year! Last weekβs plays went 4-9 and are 21-18 on the season. Thatβs still pretty solid and actually better than our own handicapping in some seasons. Keep in mind, these com-puter lines donβt take into consideration off-the-field factors like revenge or flat spots. They are basically a pow-er-rating number difference between the two teams that also takes into consideration the home field advantage.
Of the 10 games where our computer is off more than 3 points compared to the Vegas line (highlighted), our favorite team this week to back would be Michigan St -10.5.
The Comp column is the computer projected line and the Diff column is the difference between the Vegas line and the Computer line. β+β numbers in the difference column say back the underdog. β-β numbers in the difference column say back the favorite. Let us know if you have questions.

Betting CFB OpenersEvery Sunday in Vegas at 11am PT, Circa Sports is the first book in the world to release CFB lines and we bet them every week. We think itβs the best value bets we make all week. Last season was the first season where we tracked every sin-gle bet we made and posted them in the weekly newsletters. We were very pleased with our 119-76-3 (61%) record on these Sunday bets with an average line value of 2.6 ppg! So far this season we are 54-38 vs the Circa openers with an aver-age line value of 2.2 ppg. You can also see all the other bets we make.

Games in Rotation Order HOME TEAM IN CAPSThursday, September 30thCINCINNATI 26 Jacksonville 19. Two exciting young QBβs here who played each other in the National Championship game 2 years ago. The Jags are a mess at 0-3 SU and 0-3 ATS under Urban Meyer who returns to his home state. The Jags have now lost 18 straight games dating back to last season. Meanwhile, the Bengals look improved at 2-1 SU/ATS. However, weβre not sure we trust them to lay more than a TD yet. Teasing the Bengals down to -1.5 sounds good to us. Sunday, October 3rdATLANTA 24 Washington 23. The WFT travels for a 2nd consec-utive week after getting crushed in Buffalo last week. They are now 0-3 ATS on the season and their defense has to be one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL allowing 31 ppg and the 2nd most yards. Meanwhile, Atlanta is off their first win getting a game-winning FG as time expired vs the Giants. Thatβs the same Giants team that should have beat Washington the week prior. We lean with Atlanta here but love teasing the Falcons up to +7.5. CHICAGO 21 Detroit 19. The Bears were a mess offensively last week in their blowout loss to the Browns. Justin Fields took hits all game long thanks to a porous OL and Chicago managed just six first downs. Meanwhile, the Lions suffered a heart-breaking loss to the Ravens on the record-breaking 66-yard FG dinging off the cross-bar on the final play. QB Jared Goff is now 0-10 SU without McVay. As of press-time it has not been decided who will start at QB for the Bears. Weβve actually liked what weβve seen out of the Lions at times this year but we prefer the UNDER here.Tennessee 24 N.Y. JETS 17. The Titans have gotten back on track the last couple of weeks with wins and covers. They were -3 in TOβs last week and still won and covered. Meanwhile, the Jets are a miserable 0-3 SU and 0-3 ATS after getting shutout in Denver last week. Weβre not sure drafting a rookie QB out of BYU and pairing him with a de-fensive-minded first-time head coach was a good idea but this is the Jets weβre talking about. Wilson has already thrown 7 interceptions and has been sacked 15 times. Some will want to back the defensive home dog here but we canβt. Teasing the Titans down to -1.5 sounds good to us. The UNDER also looks good. MINNESOTA 26 Cleveland 24. Obviously, Kevin Stefanski vs his former team is one of the stories here. Stefanski was an assistant for 14 years with the Vikings. Minnesota got the job done for us on these pag-es winning not one, but two best bets in their outright upset win over the Seahawks. They could easily be 3-0 if not for a couple of unlucky losses to Cincinnati and Arizona. Donβt look now but Kirk Cousins has a 8-to-0 TD-to-INT ratio this season. Meanwhile, Myles Garrett just sacked Justin Fields again. That was 4.5 sacks for Garrett and 8 for the Browns last week in their dominating win over the Bears. Zimmer is 19-6-1 ATS as a home dog and thatβs where our lean is. MIAMI 21 Indianapolis 19. The Dolphins blew their big early lead vs the Raiders last week in OT but showed some fight forcing OT. We donβt think Brissett is that big of a downgrade from Tua, if any at all. Theyβre taking on a Colts team that is 0-3 and last week couldnβt get a cover vs the Titans despite having a +3 TO margin. Itβs their worst start in 10 years and we question what theyβre trying to do offensively. Obviously, Brissett vs his former team is a story line but itβs another game where we prefer the UNDER.DALLAS 26 Carolina 24. Carolina is 3-0 on the season but the Pan-thers have benefited from playing two rookie QBβs and a Saints team misplaced by a Hurricane. Still, the Panthers have the added rest edge having played last Thursday in a comfortable win over the Texans while the Cowboys just played on MNF in their easy win over the Eagles. Carolina has covered 8 straight road games and even though they are banged up including RB McCaffrey and CB Horn, we think there is value here vs a Cowboys team that is over-priced due to their 3-0 ATS start on the season.NEW ORLEANS 23 N.Y. Giants 17. The 0-3 Giants are probably better than people think considering they lost to a good Broncos team in the opener and on last-second FGβs the last two games. The Saints
are off a big performance last week forcing 3 NE TOβs in their upset win. This is their first game in the Superdome this year and it should be a raucous crowd considering they had limited fan support last year due to COVID. Still, weβre not willing to lay more than a TD here and the look-ahead line was New Orleans -6.5. Thatβs where we are at despite the Giants injuries at WR and LB.Kansas City 30 PHILADELPHIA 23. Obviously, Andy Reidβs 2nd game back in Philadelphia where he was the coach from 1999-2012 is the story along with his health after a quick hospital visit this week. We say this every week but the Chiefs are remarkably just 1-12-1 ATS in their last 14 games. However, people are betting them left and right again this week after their upset loss to the Chargers dropped them to 1-2 SU on the year. Meanwhile, The Eagles come home off a short week after getting routed by the Cowboys on MNF. That blowout win over the Falcons in Week 1 already feels like a distant memory. We lean UNDER here.BUFFALO 31 Houston 15. Obviously, the biggest point spread weβve seen in the NFL so far this season. You have a Houston team playing with a rookie QB in Davis Mills that wasnβt supposed to play this season making his first career road start. Heβs taking on a Buffalo team that looked as dominant as ever last week in their blowout win over Washington and that was coming off a 35-0 win over the Dolphins the week prior. However, the Bills have the Chiefs on deck so that pre-vents us from laying the points.3H OVER 55 L.A. RAMS 31 Arizona 27. A huge game in the NFC West between a pair of 3-0 teams. The Rams have won eight straight over the Cardinals (7-0-1 ATS) including Sean McVayβs four over Kliff Kingsbury all by 7 points or more. This is a tough spot off the big win over Tampa Bay and the Rams have Seattle on deck on Thursday. We won with the OVER (just barely) in the Tampa Bay/Rams game last week are going that way again here. The Cardinals lead the league in scoring at 34.3 ppg while Rams games are 3-0 to the OVER. Fast track, no weather and two dynamic QBβs.
2H Seattle 26 SAN FRANCISCO 25. In the toughest division in football, Seattle can ill afford a 1-3 start and the 49ers donβt want to lose back-to-back home games. We didnβt cash against them in their outright upset loss to Green Bay on SNF but we were impressed they rallied from that early 17-0 deficit. Meanwhile we also cashed against the Seahawks on these pages last week as they got outscored 23-0 to close the game vs the Vikings. The 49ers donβt handle the home favor-ite role well at 4-14 ATS and the Seahawks are on a 13-5-1 ATS run in the series. We like Seattle outright here.Baltimore 21 DENVER 20. Denver is off to a 3-0 start but have played the easiest schedule in the NFL so far as the Giants, Jags and Jets have yet to win a game. Theyβre taking a major step up in class here. How-ever, weβre wild about backing the Ravens on back-to-back road trips after two last second wins including last week getting a record 66-yard FG on the final play. Denver games are 3-0 to the UNDER so far this season and that is where our preference is here. GREEN BAY 26 Pittsburgh 20. This just seems too easy. You get the high-powered Packers offense fresh off back-to-back wins taking on an over-the-hill Big Ben and a terrible Pitt OL that canβt protect him. Still, the Steelers usually rise up in these spots including a 12-3 ATS run as a road dog. We also wonder why the line hasnβt popped to 7 yet? Especially considering the look-ahead line was also GB -6.5. The Packers over-achieved on Sunday (we cashed with them last week) while Pittsburgh under-achieved.TAMPA BAY 28 New England 20. Obviously, one of the most antic-ipated games in NFL regular season history with Tom Bradyβs return to New England. Both teams come in off losses and obviously you know both teams and Belichick/Brady will be extremely motivated. The reality is Tampa Bay is the much better team. They have elite receivers and a veteran QB. NE rookie QB Mac Jones had his worst performance of the season (30 of 51 for 270 yards and a 1-3 ratio). We know you will want action on it and we lean Tampa. Monday, October 4th2H L.A. CHARGERS 30 Las Vegas 24. The Raiders are off to their first 3-0 start since 2002 but itβs been close with a pair of OT home wins. We like the Chargers here who are coming off a big win over Kansas City last week (they were +4 in TOβs). The Chargers could easily be 3-0 themselves and we donβt expect them to start their 2021 campaign off 0-2 at home. They have the better QB and the better ros-ter. Donβt over-think this one.
