Mississippi at South Carolina [ESPN | 7:45 PM ET]

Mississippi (-3.5, O/U 53): The fourth-ranked Mississippi Rebels are enjoying their highest rating in nearly 40 years and bent on revenge. South Carolina upset the Rebels last year on the road, 31-24. Mississippi had just knocked off Florida the week before and was in a huge letdown spot. That’s not the case this time around as this is Mississippi’s SEC opener. Quarterback Jevan Snead has thrown multiple touchdown passes in a school-record eight consecutive games. Snead threw for three scores and helped the Rebels amass 500 yards of offense in beating Southern Louisiana 52-6 on Saturday. It was the Rebels’ eighth win a row, their longest victory streak since 1971-72. Mississippi has covered in eight of its last nine road contests. The Rebels are 9-2 against the spread versus a team with a winning record. However, Mississippi also has failed to cover eight of the past 10 times it has been road chalk.

The Under has cashed in 10 of Mississippi’s last 14 road contests versus a team with a winning home record.
The road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings between the two schools.

Key Injuries - Defensive end Greg Hardy (ankle) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 28

South Carolina: Judging by its 38-16 win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday, South Carolina has found a ground attack. The Gamecocks rushed for 287 yards after averaging 111 during their first two games. Taking advantage of his team’s excellent running, Gamecocks quarterback Stephen Garcia had one of his better games completing 20 of 27 passes for 222 yards, throwing for one touchdown and running for another score. The Gamecocks now, though, are facing a much tougher defense in Mississippi, which ranks ninth nationally in scoring defense giving up 10 points per game. Star defensive end Greg Hardy is expected to play after missing time with an ankle injury. South Carolina has covered in five of its last six Thursday games. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier has compiled a 94-59-1 against the spread mark in SEC competition, while Mississippi coach Houston Nutt is 6-12 against the number as a road favorite.

The Under has cashed in 7 of the Gamecocks’ last nine home games.
The underdog is 4-1 ATS during the past five meetings between the two teams.

Key Injuries - Safety Darian Stewart (neck) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 25 (Side of the Day)

Write-up

Thursday's game

Ole Miss is 3-8-1 as road favorite since 2001, 1-4 since '04; they lost at home to South Carolina 31-24 LY (-2), in game after they upset Florida, in game where Gamecocks were 22-32/327 passing. Rebels had walkover vs I-AA team last week after bye, so its been three weeks since a 45-14 win at Memphis when QB Snead struggled early. Carolina is 3-7-1 as a home dog under Spurrier; they're more battle tested at this point, after a split of close games at NC State, Georgia. Last time Ole Miss was this high in polls was 1970.

Friday's game

Missouri squashed Nevada 69-17 LY, as Daniel was 27-36/519 through air, but now Tigers visit Reno to face Wolf Pack squad playing its home opener. Nevada is 1-3 as home dog since '06- they lost first two games, by 15-35 points, not scoring yet in first half (0-42). Pack hasn't forced a turnover yet, is -8 in turnover ratio. Mizzou covered five of last six as road favorite, 13 of last 18 non-league games- they open Big 12 play in next game, vs Nebraska-- this is a trap game for them vs wounded foe. .

Saturday's games
Top games

Underdog covered five of last six Wake Forest-Boston College games, as Deacons lost last two visits here, 38-28/35-30. Matt Ryan's senior year was only time favorite covered in series. Last week, BC was 5-21/25 as passers at rainy Clemson- they're struggling at QB. Since '06, Eagles are 3-6 in the game following a loss. Wake is 16-10 as road dog under Grobe.

Underdog covered five of last seven Minnesota-Northwestern games, as Wildcats won last two meetings, 24-17/49-48; both teams are coming off first loss of season. Gophers are 16-20 after loss since '02; Wildcats are 21-10 since '03, but just 2-7 in last nine tries as home favorite. Last two Northwestern games were both decided by a FG. Gophers are 6-2 as a road underdog under Brewster.

Home side won last four Michigan State-Wisconsin games; Spartans lost last two visits here, 37-34/56-21. State lost last two games by combined total of five points- they lost tough game at Notre Dame, with soph QB Cousins throwing horrific INT deep in Irish territory as Spartans drove for winning score- they're 6-3 vs spread in last nine games as a road dog. Badgers are 1-4 in last five as a home favorite.

With Utah, BYU losing last week, hopes of Mountain West to keep up as BCS busters lies with TCU squad that already won 30-14 at Virginia of ACC (-12). Horned Frogs are 4-7-1 as road dog since '04. Clemson is off decisive win over ACC rival Boston College; Tigers are 4-2 as home favorite under Swinney, 2-0 this year. TCU is 20-12-3 vs spread off a win the last 4+ seasons.

Arkansas is 9-4 as road dog since '05; they gave up 530 yards in a wild 52-41 home loss to Dawgs last week- Georgia averaged 14.4 yds/pass attempt. Alabama is averaging 42.7 ppg in McElroy's first three college games, throwing for 230+ yards in all three games; Crimson Tide ran ball for 328 yards in 49-14 mauling of Hogs LY (-9). Bama is 7-18 vs spread as a home favorite since '05, 5-8 under Saban.

Florida had flu issues this week after 23-13 win over Tennessee; Gators are 6-1 as road favorites last two seasons. Kentucky is 8-4 as home dog since '04; they got waxed 63-5 in Gainesville LY, getting first two punts blocked. Florida won last 12 series games (2-5 vs spread in last seven)- they've won six in row, winning last three by 8-21-3 points. Wildcats scored 73 points in winning first two games (beat rival Lousville 31-27).

Georgia (-7) went to desert LY, beat Arizona State 27-10; Dawgs gave up 78 points in last two games, but won both- they play LSU next week so letdown possible here. Dawgs covered one of last six as a home fave. Arizona State beat up on two stiffs at home; they're 7-18-1 as road dog since 2001. Nine of last 11 Arizona State road games stayed under total.

Cal won last three games vs Oregon by 10-7-21 points; and Ducks were ranked going into all three games; Bears are just 2-6 in last eight games as road favorite. Oregon is home dog for just second time since '03, losing 45-13 to USC in last such role ('05, +21)- they beat Purdue, Utah in last two games after disaster in Boise. Cal has USC coming to Berkeley next week, has to avoid lookahead here.

Washington hits road off huge upset last week; they're 1-7 vs spread in last eight games as road dog. Underdog covered five of their last seven games with Stanford, which is 4-1 as home favorite under Harbaugh, but 3-7 vs spread in game after their last 10 wins. Cardinal had 244 rushing yards in LY's win; USC had 250 in Seattle last week, but Washington is finding ways to succeed under new coach Sarkisian.

Underdog covered six of last eight Miami-Va Tech games; 'canes are 2-4 in last six visits to Blacksburg, and scored 16 or less points in five of six series games, but Harris-led offense scored 71 points in first two games this year, ACC wins over Seminoles, Ga Tech. Tech gutted out a 16-15 home win vs Nebraska last week; they're 4-8-1 vs spread in last 13 home games. Miami is 41-59/656 passing behind Heisman hopeful Harris.

Purdue lost at home to Northern Illinois last week; they've given up 97 points in three games, bad news vs Notre Dame squad that is missing its best WR Floyd (collarbone) but has scored 34 ppg in its first three tilts, narrowly beating Spartans at home last week. Last six series games were all won by 13+ points, with Notre Dame winning three of last four. Irish are 4-3-1 as road favorite under Weis.

Iowa ruined Penn State's national title hopes LY with a dramatic 24-23 win; it was Ferentz' sixth win in last seven meetings with JoePa, who is 0-3 as a home favorite this year, beating three stiffs by 24-21-25 points. Iowa is 15-11-1 as road dog this decade; they beat Iowa State, Arizona in last two games after lucking out vs Northern Iowa in opener. Hawkeyes covered four of their last five road games.

Houston had last week off after shocking Oklahoma State in Stillwater; Cougars are 10-6 vs spread at home last three years. Texas Tech showed surprising defense in 34-24 loss at Texas last week, outgaining Horns by 41 yards, but three turnovers, 14 penalties hurt them in Potts' first road start. Tech is 7-5 vs spread in last dozen road games. Total of 73 tells us this figures to be a shootout- check weather before playing over.

Oregon State won nine of last ten games vs Arizona, taking five of six in Corvallis, with last four wins here all by 14+ points. Wildcats are 12-8 vs spread in game after their last 20 losses, State is 8-3 in game after its last 11 setbacks. Arizona is on road second week in row after 27-17 loss at Iowa last week- they were just 10-26 passing, could change QBs here.

Note: We will update when additional games info is available.

What bettors need to know: Ole Miss at South Carolina
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mississippi Rebels at South Carolina Gamecocks (+3.5, 53)

Line movement

There has been a decent amount of line movement early on. The game came out anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 and was moved down to 3 rather quickly. Tuesday night and early Wednesday saw the number go back to 3 and then by the afternoon, there were 3.5’s across the board with even some 4’s available.

Bookmaker opened the total at 51 and it was immediately bet up to 52 and then eventually 53 which is where all other shops opened it at.

Injuries

Mississippi All-SEC defensive end Greg Hardy is listed as probable with an ankle injury. Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt told ESPN on Wednesday that he expects Hardy to play, but he’s not sure how much.

“He’s a little better and we expect to get a few plays out of him. I don’t know how many, but he’s getting better and we’re excited he was on the field this week.”

Meanwhile South Carolina All-American linebacker Eric Norwood is nursing a shoulder injury but is listed as probable.

Weather

It should be a great night in Columbia. The forecast calls for a slight chance of a thunderstorm with temperatures in the mid to high 70s.

Achilles’ heel

South Carolina’s defense is the team’s strength, but poor play from the special teams unit isn’t helping the situation.

The Gamecocks surrendered run backs of 100 yards and two 40 yards returns against Georgia.

“Kickoff coverage is our sore spot right now,” USC coach Steve Spurrier told the USA today. “Our kicker’s not real good and our coverage is horrible. It seems like they all like to run together outside. You can see it. I can see it. Everybody in the ballpark can see it.”

Speaking of the fans, it seems they aren’t satisfied with the way things are going. South Carolina’s attendance in its home opener (70, 411) was the smallest since 1995.

Over-hyped Rebels?

The betting market is all over Mississippi in this game. As of Wednesday afternoon, 80 percent of close to 8,000 bets have gone in on the Rebels. After all, what else would the public do with a highly ranked team as short road faves?

But maybe the public is right. The Rebels closed very strong last season and with just about everyone back, they became a preseason favorite in the SEC West. Rarely have they been on nationally televised games so they will be out to prove something come Thursday. Especially quarterback Jevan Snead who said these are the games that made him choose Ole Miss.

Ole Miss supporters will be happy to know their team appears completely recovered from a recent battle with the flu. Two weeks ago, as many as 38 players were fighting through the bug. The team was a bit off in the first half of its game against Southeastern Louisiana but put things together and came away with a 52-6 win.

Line of Scrimmage

The goal for South Carolina will be simple: keep the potent Mississippi offense off the field. In order to do that the Gamecocks will have to control the clock with a successful running attack.

South Carolina was last in the SEC in rushing averaging just 94.1 ypg last year, while Mississippi was fourth in the nation and first in the SEC in rushing defense, allowing just 85.5 yards per game.

The Gamecocks rushed for 287 yards last week against Florida Atlantic, which was the most in four-plus years under pass-happy coach Steve Spurrier.

Trendsetters

The Gamecocks are 5-2 in Thursday night games under Spurrier’s guidance. The Rebels are 1-11-2 against the spread in their last 14 games as a favorite of three points or fewer, but South Carolina is 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven games as a home underdog.

The over is 16-3 in South Carolina’s last 19 home games against a team with a winning road record.

What bettors need to know: Missouri at Nevada
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Missouri Tigers at Nevada Wolf Pack (+7, 61)

Are you for real?

A lot of people expected Missouri to take a giant step back after losing a number of key players from last year’s 10-4 team. They lost their schools all-time leading passer, their All-American WR, and Mackey Award winning TE. They also lost seven All-Big 12 players on the defensive side of the ball.

Despite all of the personnel losses, Missouri is off to a 3-0 start. Of course the Tigers have played a fairly easy schedule with wins against Illinois, Bowling Green and Furman.

Friday’s road date at Nevada should give us a better idea of just how good Mizzou is this year.

Desperation time

Nevada had high hopes entering the season. They returned a bevy of starters from a year ago and had, what looked like, a pretty favorable schedule. But the Wolf Pack are 0-2 to start the season after losing two road games to Notre Dame and Colorado State.

The Wolf Pack allowed 69 points and 651 total yards in a loss at Missouri last year and were thoroughly embarrassed. The Tigers could be vulnerable in their first road test of the season and it’s a great opportunity for Nevada, with a national audience, to pull off the upset.

Nevada usually offers value when playing in Reno (19-8 ATS at home since 2004) and this is the team’s first home game of the season. If the Pack get on track and start a winning streak, their final game versus Boise State could determine the WAC Champion.

Quarterback sneak

Blaine Gabbert was named the starter to replace Chase Daniel at Missouri and he started the season right where Daniel left off. The sophomore has completed over 68 percent of his passes for 747 yards and eight touchdowns with no picks. He has also rushed for 95 yards and 2 scores. Again, Missouri hasn’t played any top tier defenses so far, but those are still impressive numbers.

Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick was last year’s WAC offensive player of the year, throwing for 22 touchdowns and rushing for 17 more. He’s got off to a slow start, throwing for just one touchdown against four interceptions. The success of Nevada rides on his shoulders and the team needs him to get on track.

Where’s the D?

Missouri has allowed 348 yards per game (242 passing/ 106 rushing). The Tigers have been opportunistic though, getting key stops and only allowing 13.7 points per game.

Nevada’s sieve-like D is allowing 440 yards per game (261 passing/ 179 rushing) and 35 points per game. The WAC team has played better opponents than Missouri and both games have been on the road.

Trends

Missouri is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 road games and 6-1 ATS in its last seven as a road favorite. The Tigers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 non-conference games and also 7-0-1 ATS their last eight vs. current WAC teams.

Nevada is 21-8 ATS in its last 29 home games and 4-1 ATS in its past five Friday night games. But the Wolf Pack are just 0-4 straight up and against the spread versus the Big 12, including losses to Missouri and Texas Tech last year. They have been outscored 52-15 on average in their last three matchups against the Big 12.

Line movement

The line opened with Missouri -7.5 and the total at 59. It rose to -8 before dropping back down to -7. The total quickly rose to from 59 to 60 and is now set at 61 points.

Weather

Almost perfect playing conditions in Reno for Friday night. The forecast is clear and warm for Friday afternoon, with lows in the upper 50s/ lower 60s for later Friday night. No rain or foul weather is expected.

College football cheat sheet: Week 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No. 1 Florida at Kentucky (+21.5, 53.5)

When Florida covers: The Gators have won 22 consecutive in this series with an average margin of victory of 28.8 in the past 15.

Why Kentucky covers: UK has three small advantages: It’s UF’s first road game, the Gators are likely to suffer a bit of a letdown off the hyped game with Tennessee and apparently the flu is ravaging UF this week.

UTEP at No. 2 Texas (-36, 62.5)

Why Texas covers: The Longhorns are 25-1 against non-conference teams since the start of the 2004 season, while UTEP has dropped 10 in a row to ranked teams and has just three wins against Top 25 clubs all-time.

Why UTEP covers: The Miners only lost by 29 last year (although that was at home), and maybe they can get a few picks off UT’s Colt McCoy; the 2008 Heisman runner-up already has four this year - half as many as his season total a year ago.

Arkansas at No. 3 Alabama (-17.5, 58)

Why Arkansas covers: QB Ryan Mallett looks like he’s the real deal for the Hogs. He’s the nation’s top-rated passer and Arkansas has the No. 2 offense in the country. The Razorbacks are 10-for-10 in red zone offense.

Why ‘Bama covers: Alabama’s defense, No. 3 overall in the nation, is talented enough to slow down the Hogs. The d-unit is tied for the SEC lead in sacks.

Iowa at No. 4 Penn State (-9.5, 40)

Why Iowa covers: Coach Kirk Ferentz is 3-1 straight up against Penn State. The Nittany Lions are 0-3 against the spread this season despite sporting a 3-0 straight up mark.

Why Penn State: Despite the team’s ATS struggles, Penn State has dominated each of its opponents and appears to be head and shoulders above the rest of the Big Ten.

No. 6 Cal at Oregon (+5.5, 57.5)

Why Cal covers: Tailback Jahvid Best, possibly the leading Heisman candidate right now, averages a conference-best 137.3 rushing yards per game and scored five times against the Gophers last week.

Why Oregon covers: The Ducks’ ground game seems to be adjusting to life without LeGarrette Blount. After rushing for 31 yards at Boise State, the Ducks ran for 193 in a win against Purdue and 217 in last week’s upset of Utah.

No. 7 LSU at Mississippi State (+12.5, 43.5)

Why LSU covers: The Tigers have won nine straight against Mississippi State, including last year's 34-24 victory. During that winning streak, LSU has outscored the Bulldogs 374-105.

Why Mississippi State covers: MSU went 1-22 against ranked teams from 2001 through the middle of the 2007 season but has turned things around since. The team has won three of its past six against ranked foes.

No. 8 Boise State at Bowling Green (+16.5, 50.5)

Why Boise State covers: The Broncos have only lost to one unranked, non-BCS team since 2002 and beat Bowling Green 20-7 last year. Their running attack averages nearly 200 yards per game, and the Falcons gave up 181 yards rushing in a loss at Missouri and 246 yards rushing in a loss at Marshall.

Why Bowling Green covers: The Falcons must feel a little better about things after watching the Boise defense allow 34 points and three long touchdown runs last week at Fresno State. Plus the Broncos lost leading rusher D.J. Harper for the season.

Washington State at No. 10 Southern Cal (-45, 54)

Why Washington State covers: USC offense is nowhere near as potent as years past. The Trojans will be starting a true freshman with a bum shoulder and in case you didn’t know, 45 is a lot of points to give.

Why USC covers: The Trojans figure to take out last week’s frustrations on the Cougars, whom USC beat 69-0 last year. Wazzu lost top running back James Montgomery for the season with a leg injury and is last in the Pac-10 in defense.

Illinois at No. 11 Ohio State (-14, 49.5)

Why Illinois covers: Juice Williams and the Illini have given OSU problems. Last year Illinois lost by just 10, while two seasons ago they upset the No. 1 Buckeyes in Columbus. Plus Illinois was off last week, giving it more time to prepare and get healthy (Williams and WR Arrelious Benn, among others, were banged up).

Why Ohio State covers: QB Terrelle Pryor is coming off the best game of his career. The Buckeyes have outscored opponents 151-40 in their past four conference openers. OSU gets back its No. 1 punter after he sat out last week with the flu.

No. 13 Miami at No. 12 Virginia Tech (+3, 47)

Why Miami covers: Sophomore Jacory Harris has vaulted himself into the Heisman talk. He ranks third nationally in passing efficiency (184.07), has 656 passing yards in two games and has already accounted for six touchdowns. Tech’s defense should be the best he has seen so far, however.

Why Virginia Tech covers: The Hokies are 1-1 against UM since Randy Shannon took over but haven’t lost to the Canes since 2005 in Blacksburg.

No. 14 TCU at Clemson (-3, 42.5)

Why TCU covers: The stellar Horned Frogs defense might not have to face a 100 percent healthy C.J. Spiller, who is easily Clemson’s best player. The star RB has a turf toe that he says “hurts all over” but insists he will start Saturday.

Why Clemson covers: The Tigers have a 26-29 record all-time against top 25 teams at home, including a 7-11-1 record against non-conference top 25 teams. But it has won four of the past six at home against ranked foes.

Fresno State at No. 15 Cincinnati (-17, 61.5)

Why Fresno State covers: The Bulldogs have to be thinking they can run the ball on anyone after watching RB Ryan Mathews rush for a career-high 234 yards against a great Boise State rush defense.

Why Cincinnati covers: The Bearcats run defense is about as good as the Fresno run offense. The stop unit has allowed just 208 yards rushing combined in three games.

Arizona State at No. 17 Georgia (-11.5, 52.5)

Why Arizona State covers: The Sun Devils have been preparing for this game for months after opening with cupcakes in Idaho State and

Louisiana-Monroe. They lead the nation in total offense.

Why Georgia covers: The Bulldogs have lost just two non-conference games under Mark Richt. They beat the Sun Devils 27-10 in Tempe last year. The Georgia offense is on fire, having scored a combined 93 points during their last two games.

No. 18 North Carolina at Georgia Tech (-2.5, 47)

Why North Carolina covers: The Heels totally stuffed that Georgia Tech triple-option in a 28-7 win last year in Chapel Hill. This year, UNC leads the ACC and ranks seventh nationally in rushing defense, allowing just 52.3 yards per game.

Why Georgia Tech covers: The Jackets have a few extra days to prepare following last Thursday’s loss at Miami. Tech has not lost to UNC in Atlanta since 1997 and has won nine of the last 11 meetings overall.

Southern Miss at No. 19 Kansas (-14, 58)

Why Southern Miss covers: The Golden Eagles enter with the nation’s second-longest winning streak. They rushed for 214 yards against Virginia last week and can keep the potent KU offense off the field if they can control the ball.

Why Kansas covers: The Jayhawks have won 19 consecutive non-conference home games, which dates to 2003. KU has outscored its first three opponents this year by a combined score of 97-26. The Southern Miss pass defense was shredded last week by a bad Virginia team.

Colorado State at No. 20 BYU (-17, 55.5)

Why Colorado State covers: The Rams almost pulled off the upset last year, losing 45-42 at home. This year, CSU is gunning for its first 4-0 start since 1994 and looked good last week in handling Nevada.

Why BYU covers: The Cougars have to regroup after being punished by Florida State, but BYU hasn’t lost a conference home game since late in the 2005 season. It has won five in a row in this series and CSU hasn’t beaten a ranked team on the road since 1997.

No. 21 Missouri at Nevada (+7, 61)

Why Missouri covers: Mizzou covered by a mile against Nevada last year, 69-17. Chase Daniel had his way with the Nevada pass defense in 2008, and that unit isn’t much better. New Missouri starter Blaine Gabbert has completed 68 percent of his throws with eight TDs and no picks so far.

Why Nevada covers: The Wolf Pack have the offensive firepower to keep pace with the Tigers. Nevada should be extra motivated in its home opener.

Indiana at No. 22 Michigan (-20.5, 54.5)

Why Indiana covers: This could be a trap game for Michigan. The Wolverines has their rivalry game at Michigan State next week. The Hoosiers have allowed just one sack this year in three wins.

Why Michigan covers: It’s homecoming for the Wolverines (they are 82-26 in those overall), who lead the Big Ten in scoring offense (38.0 avg.) and rushing offense (270.7 avg.).UM has also won 23 straight conference openers at home.

Texas Tech at No. 23 Houston (-1, 73)

Why Texas Tech covers: TTU QB Taylor Potts leads the country with an average of 427 yards passing per game. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is an offensive guru who always finds ways of pointing points up on the board.

Why Houston covers: The Cougars own C-USA’s No. 1 pass defense and the nation’s top scoring offense.

UL Lafayette at No. 24 Nebraska (-27.5, 53.5)

Why ULL covers: The Ragin’ Cajuns beat Kansas State and played LSU closer than the score indicated last week. Their offensive line is a strength with five starters back no sacks allowed yet this year.

Why Nebraska covers: You’d assume a bit of a letdown for Nebraska this week after letting that game at Virginia Tech get away last Saturday. Plus the Huskers then have a week off before playing at Missouri. The Huskers have lost three of their past four homecoming games.

South Florida at No. 25 Florida State (-14, 49.5)

Why South Florida covers: The Bulls will be amped up for this game, as it’s the program’s first game against Florida State ever. FSU’s pass defense is among the worst in the nation.

Why Florida covers: USF will be starting a redshirt freshman at QB after losing Matt Grothe for the season. The Noles rediscovered their ground game last week, gouging the Cougars for 313 yards.

Missouri at Nevada [ESPN | 9:00 PM ET]

Missouri (-7, O/U 61.5): The 21st-ranked Tigers are outscoring their opposition, 116-41, in winning their first three games. The Tigers lost key skill position players, but still are averaging 38.7 points. They have been better than many thought. A big reason for Missouri’s success has been the play of sophomore quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who has been outstanding completing 68 percent of his throws for 747 yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions. He’s also run for two more scores. Missouri’s victories have come against Illinois, Bowling Green and Furman. Missouri is idle next week before opening Big 12 Conference play with a home game against Nebraska. The Tigers are 1-5 against the spread before facing the Cornhuskers under Gary Pinkel. Missouri has covered the spread the past 11 times it has been a favorite of being 3 ½ and 10 points. The Tigers are 10-3 against the spread in their last 13 road games.

The Tigers have gone Over in 10 of their last 13 road games.

Key Injuries - Backup running back De’Vion Moore (ankle) is questionable

PROJECTED SCORE: 35

Nevada: The Wolf Pack have been terrible with a 35-0 loss to Notre Dame and a 35-20 loss to Colorado State. Now, though, Nevada gets to play its first home game and on national television. The Wolf Pack are stepping up in class again. They’ve lost the last seven times they’ve faced a foe from the top six BCS conferences. Nevada shouldn’t lack for motivation, however. Missouri dealt the Wolf Pack their worst loss of the year last season, 69-17, in Columbia. Nevada is 19-7-1 against the spread at home under Chris Ault. Bowl teams from the previous season that start off 0-2 are 10-3 against the spread in Game 3. Nevada’s well-respected quarterback Colin Kaepernick has to play better. His touchdown-to-interception ratio is just one-to-four. The Wolf Pack shouldn’t be caught off guard by Missouri’s five-receiver empty-backfield set since they run that formation, too.

Nevada is 1-6 ATS in its last seven non-conference games.

Key Injuries - None

Game of the day: Iowa at Penn State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iowa Hawkeyes at Penn State Nittany Lions (-9.5, 40.5)

Just like Texas-Texas Tech last week, Saturday night's feature game once again takes on the revenge theme when the No. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions host to the Iowa Hawkeyes (8PM ET ABC).

Both teams come in at 3-0 but the media focus will be on Iowa's 24-23 upset win last year. The last-second field goal to win the game put then No. 3 Penn State out of contention for the BCS Championship.

Just like all coaches, Joe Paterno and Kirk Ferentz have tried to downplay the revenge factor, but last year's game is no doubt on the minds of players and fans. Penn State SR QB and team captain Daryll Clark, who threw a key interception in the fourth quarter that set up the game winning drive, seems to have taken the loss on his shoulders.

“There’s nothing that anyone can tell to make me believe that it wasn’t my fault, period,” Clark told reporters.

This is his last chance to make amends and this year Clark will have the benefit of home-field advantage with the 107,000-plus crowd encouraged to "white out" Beaver Stadium.

Penn State easily won its first three games of the season, but pretty much treated Akron, Syracuse and Temple as preseason warmups for the Big Ten opener. Iowa has been tested a bit more. The Hawkeyes avoided a near scare, squeaking a 17-16 win over FCS team Northern Iowa. They then blew out Iowa State on the road 35-3 and came out with a tough 27-17 win over a decent Arizona team.

Blue Royster Cult

Iowa has one of the best secondaries in the nation so it’s no secret that Penn State will try and dictate its offense around star running back Evan Royster, who rushed for 90 yards and one TD in last year's game.

The running game as a whole looked sluggish in the first two games with three new starters on the offensive line. Prior to the Temple game, Royster announced on his Facebook page, "Evan Royster is sick.... very sick" but that didn't seem to matter as Royster rushed for 136 yards and one TD, averaging 6.8 yards per carry.

The Hawkeyes defense did well against the rush versus Arizona last week, who came into the game averaging 305 yards per game. A key moment occurred late in the first quarter after having given up a 58 yard run. Iowa stayed firm after this big play forcing the Wildcats to kick a field goal. The goal line stand turned momentum and Arizona had a tough time rushing for the rest of the game.

Iowa has an excellent defensive line and it will be backed up by a talented and experienced linebacker corps led by SR Pat Angerer. Penn State had trouble in the red zone in last year's game having to settle for three points on a couple early drives.

Royster will have to grind it out and put in an All-American performance and Daryll Clark, who rushed for 10 TD’s last year, will also have to establish himself as a threat on the ground. Clark has only rushed six times for one yard this year, but claims that they have only used 70 percent of their playbook in the first three games.

While all signs point to a stereotypical Big Ten matchup, Penn State's may surprise and go to the air more. Iowa's secondary are ball hawks (pun intended) and they will be facing an inexperienced receiving core.

Last year, Clark had NFLers Derrick Williams and Deon Butler to throw to and he only went 9-for-23 for 86 yards. Offensive coordinator Galen Hall has modernized the offense in the last couple years and he is fully aware of the focus on containing Royster. While there are no high profile recruits at WR, Hall did shape former walk on Butler into an NFL-caliber receiver. If the passing game can produce some big plays early and avoid turnovers, this could open up the lanes more Royster.

Second Half Stanzi

Iowa's JR QB Ricky Stanzi has already developed a reputation for being a second-half performer. So far this year Stanzi has a 72.9 percent completion rate in the second half, but is only 49 percent in the first half. Stanzi didn't seem to wake up until the final 10 minutes of last year's game, but was near perfect leading two key scoring drives.

So it may sound cliché, but Penn State's best defense might have to be its offense. The Lions will want to have a big lead going into the half, as a close game may be in Iowa's favor. Stanzi isn't flashy and doesn't put up big stats but he is like Ben Roethlisberger seeming to come up big in clutch situations.

The early departure of Shonn Greene to the NFL hurts their running game a bit, but two talented freshmen have stepped in his place. Carries will be split between Adam Robinson, who ran for 101 yards and two scores against Arizona, and Brandon Wegher, who was rated the 16th best running back out high school by scout.com.

Depleted Resources

Both teams are expected to be missing several starters Saturday, but Penn State may have the edge here. Stanzi will have a downgrade on his blindside with star LT Bryan Bulaga out with an undisclosed illness. Favorite targets TE Tony Moeaki and last year's leading receiver WR Derrell Johnson-Koulianos are still listed as day-to-day.

It appears that Penn State starting linebackers Sean Lee and Navorro Bowman won't suit up for the game, but Penn State is called linebacker U for a reason and boosts tremendous depth at that position

Stat Crunchers Beware

When looking at the head-to-head stats in the series, Iowa's six wins in the last seven games sticks out but this is a bit misleading. Penn State was in its dark days in the early part of the decade and its rise back to top of conference in 2005 coincided with a two-year hiatus in the series.

Also, none of the matchups have resembled each other in any shape or form. The 2002 game featured at high scoring 42-35 overtime win for Iowa, while the 2004 matchup was a bizarre 6-4 loss for Penn State.

In 2005, Joe Pa upgraded the program and they went from 4-7 to 11-1 and an Orange Bowl victory. They didn't play Iowa until 2007 and easily beat them in Happy Valley 27-7. Last year, they had to deal with a tough road crowd in Iowa City and they did have a 9-point lead in the fourth quarter.

The Line

The spread currently hovers between -9.5 and -10 in favor of Penn State. Last year, Penn State was undefeated going into the game and were a 7-point favorite. Iowa was coming off a 3-point loss to Illinois, but since last year's upset it has not lost a game. In the last matchup at Beaver stadium in 2007, Penn State was a 9-point favorite and covered the spread winning 27-7.

With key Hawkeye injuries and home-field advantage, Penn State has the ability to blow out this game early if Clark is on point and Royster puts in a big performance. But the Hawkeyes will most likely slow down the pace of the game to prevent an early blowout.

The total for the game sits at 40 at most books and that number has been consistent in this series. The total was 40 in 2003, 2004, and 2007 pushing once and going under twice. Last year's total was 42.5 and because of Stanzi's fourth quarter performance, it went over.

If Iowa can keep the game close and minimize the effect of the crowd then there is value not only in the spread but in the +310 moneyline as well. Penn State to win straight up is around -370.

Bettors weary of Stanzi's slow starts may also want to look into the first half spread which sits at -6 in favor of Penn State.

Penn State is currently 0-3 ATS but, as mentioned above, it treated the first three games like preseason NFL games and were backdoored by late insignificant touchdowns (well not for bettors) by Akron and Syracuse.

Iowa is 2-0 ATS having been a single-digit favorite against Iowa State and Arizona. The last time the Hawkeyes were underdogs was against Penn State last year. We can unofficially count that near upset against North Iowa as an ATS loss though.

Weather

Temperature is expected to be around 54 to 58 around kickoff with a 70 percent chance of precipitation. South East winds (diagonal across the field at Beaver Stadium) will be around 14 mph. Perfect for a Big Ten opener.
