College football odds: Week 3 opening line report

Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher was prepared for the onslaught of questions right off the bat. Typically, coaches don’t have to address the next game until at least the ink is dry from the boxscore on the previous game.

But not when No. 1 Oklahoma comes to town. When the Sooners are up next, the questions fly immediately.

So, Fisher was prepared Saturday night, after his No. 5-ranked Seminoles wiped up Charleston Southern, 62-10. And it’s a good thing, because the first three questions in his postgame press conference had to do with Oklahoma, not the Buccaneers.

“We’re going to continue doing the same thing we do every week,” Fisher said, without emotion. “We’ll obviously have some changes in the gameplan. But as far as preparation goes, we’ll continue to do what we’ve been doing.”

The pros in Las Vegas are wary of that. And they know that the Seminoles, under Fisher and since Bobby Bowden retired, have been on a steady climb back to national prominence. It started last year, when they won their state, so to speak, beating Miami and Florida. They also advanced to the ACC title game, and defeated South Carolina, 26-17, in their bowl game.

So, they know what Florida State is capable of, especially at home. And that respect level is shown in the line. Pete Korner of Esportclub, LLC, established Oklahoma as a 4.5-point favorite.

“This is a very interesting one,” Korner told ***********, “and it’s hard to have too big of an opinion on any one team this early in the season. Florida State is good, and can certainly win this game, but we definitely wanted more than a field goal with Oklahoma.”

Keep in mind, the Sooners hammered Florida State, 47-17, last year in Norman, Okla.

“People will remember that,” Korner said. “I can definitely see this line going up, before it goes down.”

And with that, let’s take a look at some of next week’s other marquee games:

LSU (-3) at Mississippi State

“This should be your typical, really tight SEC night game,” Korner said. “A field goal is right where it should be, and Mississippi State, as the underdog, can definitely win this game.”

Boise State (-22) at Toledo

“Toledo did look good against Ohio State,” Korner said. “But Boise State has proven they are a team that doesn’t look ahead against anyone. When it came down to this one, it was pretty simple: I don’t want to have to be rooting for Toledo.”

Auburn (+3) at Clemson

“It’s tough to read these two teams right now,” Korner said. “Auburn has a new look, and obviously they’re struggling on defense, but they’re finding ways to pull wins out. This one is on the road, though, and if anyone’s going to win big here, it’ll be Clemson.”

Washington (+18) at Nebraska

“We’re almost always going to have a big number when it comes to Nebraska,” Korner said. “They may not be great, but the bettors don’t allow us to go low with Nebraska. I’m not a fan of Washington, but we have to roll the dice on this one.”

Tennessee (+10) at Florida

“We don’t like Tennessee, though this has the potential to be another good, early SEC game,” Korner said. “I think this is right where it should be. I don’t expect this line to move too much.”

Michigan State (+3) at Notre Dame

“Notre Dame certainly looks like they can have a great offense. But it’s on the defense now to win games,” Korner said. “This will be very tight, and don’t go into it thinking Michigan State won’t win because Notre Dame simply cannot lose three in a row. Michigan State can win this one. This is not automatic for Notre Dame.”

Texas (-4) at UCLA

“On the road, but Texas is still the better team and they should win,” Korner said. “There’s not too much recent history, and it’s definitely two different styles clashing. I think Texas is going to take care of business.”

Ohio State (+4) at Miami

“We went into this figuring that most players from Miami will be back. So, we figure more problems on the Ohio State side,” Korner said. “Miami will be healthier, and I just haven’t seen anything out of Ohio State. They are winning, but obviously, they are not clicking now.”

Stanford (-8) at Arizona

“We definitely wanted it over the touchdown mark,” Korner said. “Obviously, Andrew Luck is going to be the No. 1 pick, and so he’s going to show everything he’s got every week. And I’m not impressed with Arizona at all. If this wasn’t at Arizona, it’d be well into the double digits.”

Week 3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
College football Top 25 betting cheat sheet: Week 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday

LSU Tigers at Mississippi State Bulldogs (+3, 48.5)

Why LSU will cover: The Tigers cruised past Oregon 40-27 and nearly covered a 49-point spread against Northwestern State (49-3). They’ve rolled the competition, and have seen tougher than the Bulldogs. LSU has beaten MSU by double digits nine of the last 10 seasons.

Why Mississippi State will cover: The Bulldogs come back home after a narrow loss at Auburn, but are still poised to make this a breakout year for the program.

Points: Both teams are led by their defense, but the Bulldogs allowed 41 to Auburn. Still, fireworks aren’t expected.

Friday

Boise State Broncos at Toledo Rockets (+19.5, 58.5)

Why Boise State will cover: Boise States already went into the heart of Georgia and beat the Bulldogs. The Broncos beat the Rockets by 43 last year and have most of their starters back from 2010.

Why Toledo will cover: The Rockets hung at Ohio State until the very end, falling 27-22. It’s as marquee a home game as Toledo is going to get, and the MAC favorites won’t hold anything back.

Points: Boise State scored at least 42 points nine times in 2010. Toledo has the tools to keep up, at least for a while.

Saturday

Oklahoma Sooners at Florida State Seminoles (+3, 54.5)

Why Oklahoma will cover: The Sooners hammered the Seminoles 47-17 last year. While FSU is improved, OU’s depth is still superior. Eventually, the Seminoles will wear down.

Why Florida State will cover: This year’s Seminoles are more talented than last year’s. Oklahoma’s defense showed flaws in its opener, allowing 400 yards to Tulsa.

Points: Two of the nation’s best offenses under perfect weather conditions could make for an entertaining game.

North Texas Mean Green at Alabama Crimson Tide (-45.5, 53)

Why North Texas will cover: That’s a huge pointspread.

Why Alabama will cover: The Mean Green stands little chance of slowing down the Crimson Tide. And judging by the way Alabama’s defense dominated Penn, this game could get ugly in a hurry.

Points: Alabama may have to reach the over by itself, but North Texas has already been blown out by worse teams.

Stanford Cardinal at Arizona Wildcats (+9.5, 53.5)

Why Stanford will cover: The Cardinal have already covered spreads of 20 and 30 points. The goal is a national title, and a slipup in a Pac-12 opener seems unlikely. Stanford, which beat Arizona 42-17 last year, doesn’t let up.

Why Arizona will cover: The Wildcats are never out of a game with the passing attack they bring. Being at home, at night, doesn’t hurt.

Points: Arizona can score, but its defense was exposed in a 37-14 loss to Oklahoma State. Andrew Luck and Co. will be licking their chops.

Oklahoma State Cowboys at Tulsa Golden Hurricane (+13.5, 68.5)

Why Oklahoma State will cover: The Cowboys look like the real deal after blowing out Arizona. A young defense should continue to improve.

Why Tulsa will cover: Tulsa showed offensive promise in a loss to mighty Oklahoma, so the Hurricane could stay close enough until the end.

Points: Both teams can score in bunches, especially OSU.

Wisconsin Badgers vs. Northern Illinois Huskies (+16.5, 63.5)

Why Wisconsin will cover: Wisconsin is averaging 223 yards passing and 224 yards rushing per game. It doesn’t get more balanced than that. But the strength is still on the ground, and Northern Illinois is 117th against the run so far. Wisconsin is 8-0-1 ATS in its last nine games.

Why Northern Illinois will cover: The Huskies are averaging 47 points per game, against Kansas and Army. Even if NIU only puts up 35, that forces Wisconsin to score more than 50.

Points: Both teams have shown the ability to light up the scoreboard. Can NIU keep it up against a tougher opponent?

Idaho Vandals at Texas A&M Aggies (-35.5, 56.5)

Why Idaho will cover: Maybe Texas A&M comes out a little rusty after a week off and Idaho catches it by surprise. All it takes is a little competitiveness to cover a spread of that size.

Why Texas A&M will cover: The Aggies shut down the run-and-shoot style of SMU in a 46-14 win. What’s Idaho going to do? Meanwhile, with nine starters back on offense, Texas A&M should pour it on all day.

Points: Idaho’s offense has struggled this season, and that’s not likely to change here.

Washington Huskies at Nebraska Cornhuskers (-17, 54)

Why Washington will cover: Washington has scored 40 and 30 points in games so far. The Huskers haven’t been as impressive as expected, 0-2 ATS, and their defense allowed 29 points to a decimated Fresno State squad.

Why Nebraska will cover: The Huskers have a potent offense led by dynamic dual-threat QB Tyler Martinez. Washington has struggled to slow down the likes of Eastern Washington and Hawaii so far. The Huskies could be in for a rude awakening.

Points: Both offenses have looked good in the young season, while both defenses have been suspect.

Navy Midshipmen at South Carolina Gamecocks (-17.5, 55.5)

Why Navy will cover: Those not ready for the Midshipmen’s style can get sunk in a hurry. Often, it takes squads used to getting by on superior talent to settle down. By then, it may be too late to cover.

Why South Carolina will cover: The Gamecocks have figured out how to get it done in wins over East Carolina and Georgia. Navy’s defense simply doesn’t have the personnel to stay with the ultra-athleticism of the Gamecocks.

Points: USC averages 55.1 points per game, Navy averages 40.0, albeit against pedestrian competition.

Troy Trojans at Arkansas Razorbacks (-22.5, 62)

Why Troy will cover: Troy’s wide-open offense could give initial troubles to an Arkansas team that’s played subpar competition. Its defensive backfield is considered one of its strengths, which is good against the high-powered Razorbacks.

Why Arkansas will cover: Despite being favored by 41.5 and 37.5 in its games so far, Arkansas has covered just fine. Troy steps up the level of competition for the Hogs, but not enough to think the Trojans can hang.

Points: The over is 9-0 in Troy’s last nine games against the SEC. Arkansas will hold up its bargain to make it 10-0.

Michigan State Spartans at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-4.5, 50.5)

Why Michigan State will cover: The Spartans will be Notre Dame’s toughest competition to date. Since the Irish are 0-2, MSU could definitely win outright and have a good shot at covering.

Why Notre Dame will cover: Notre Dame is better on paper than its record. The Irish has faced South Florida and Michigan, while the Spartans have faced Youngstown State (didn’t cover) and Florida Atlantic (won 44-0). They’ll be ready for this high-level competition, will the Spartans?

Points: Expect more defense than offense, because that’s what it will likely take for the host Irish to get the job done.

Ohio State Buckeyes at Miami Hurricanes (-3, 47.5)

Why Ohio State will cover: It’s still tough to put points on OSU’s defense, and the offense is its usual mundane, successful self. It also gets back two players from suspension, starting tailback Jordan Hall and corner Travis Howard.

Why Miami will cover: The Hurricanes get nine players back from suspension, including star QB Jacory Harris for their home opener, which should make a world of difference. The Buckeyes struggled against Toledo, hanging on for a 27-22 win.

Points: The under is 8-2-1 in OSU’s last 11 road games, and is 6-2-1 in Miami’s last nine games anywhere. Don’t be surprised if a defensive slugfest breaks out.

Tennessee Volunteers at Florida Gators (-9.5, 50)

Why Tennessee will cover: The passing game has been surprisingly solid, averaging 358 yards through the air. If the Vols get behind, it won’t take long to get back in it. Plus, some experts are still waiting for a Florida slide. Tennessee’s easily the best opponent the Gators will have faced.

Why Florida will cover: The Gators were supposedly in for a transition year, but so far they’re 2-0 ATS, outscoring the opposition 80-3. UF can be overwhelming in The Swamp.

Points: The over is 0-2 in Florida games so far, and 2-0 in UT games. When undecided, follow the trend of the home team.

Arizona State Sun Devils at Illinois Fighting Illini (-1.5, 59)

Why Arizona State will cover: The Sun Devils are riding the momentum after finding a way to beat Missouri last week.

Why Illinois will cover: The Illini will go as sophomore QB Nathan Scheelhaase goes, and ASU’s passing defense ranked 101st last year and is 76th so far this year.

Points: The over is 7-1 in Illinois’ last eight games as a home favorite, and if Illinois is going to win this one, it’s likely going to take a lot of points.

Auburn Tigers at Clemson Tigers (-3, 59)

Why Auburn will cover: The Tigers haven’t looked great, 0-2 ATS, but they’ve found ways to win both games. With a manageable spread this time, the defending national champs find a way again and will likely cover, too.

Why Clemson will cover: Auburn’s defense has allowed 38 and 34 points to Utah State and Mississippi State, respectively. The Tigers’ offense, with eight returning starters, has been clicking, and there’s no indication that will change Saturday.

Points: The under is 8-0-1 in Auburn’s last nine games vs. ACC opponents, and it’s 7-2 in Clemson’s last nine vs. the SEC. That said, so far this season both teams have been piling on the points without stopping the foe with regularity.

West Virginia Mountaineers at Maryland Terrapins (-1, 54.5)

Why West Virginia will cover: The Mountaineers haven’t put a full game together yet for first-year coach Dana Holgorsen, and have manhandled the competition. A complete game will put away the Terps.

Why Maryland will cover: Maryland played with major emotion and took care of Miami in its opener. West Virginia is 0-2 ATS against poor competition, while the Terps are 7-1 ATS in its last eight games.

Points: The over is 6-1-1 in Maryland’s last eight games, and 9-2 in West Virginia’s last 11 as an underdog. We should see some points.

Texas Longhorns at UCLA Bruins (+3.5, 44)

Why Texas will cover: While the Longhorns’ offense has been mediocre, the defense has been tough, shutting down Rice and BYU in wins (1-1 ATS). With a new QB, maybe Texas’ offense breaks out and wins going away.

Why UCLA will cover: Texas is going with a new QB in unproven sophomore Case McCoy, which may help an aggressive defense.

Points: The under is 8-3 in UT’s last 11 games as a favorite, and 15-7 in UCLA’s last 22 as an underdog. And both offenses are still finding their way.

Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at TCU Horned Frogs (-28.5, 51.5)

Why ULM will cover: ULM gained confidence by beating down Grambling 35-7. TCU’s defense is still questionable, leaving the chance the Warhawks can at least lose by less than four touchdowns.

Why TCU will cover: After scoring 48 in a loss at Baylor, the Horned Frogs found their way and hammered Air Force. ULM is overmatched from one end to the other.

Points: ULM lost to Florida State 35-0 in its opener. A similar score isn’t out of the question.

Arkansas State Red Wolves at Virginia Tech Hokies (-24, 53)

Why Arkansas St. will cover: Arkansas State hung with Illinois for a half and dominated Memphis, going 2-0 ATS. The Red Wolves have the skill players to hang, leading one of the nation’s top pass offenses.

Why Virginia Tech: As usual, it’s tough to score on the Hokies, especially for teams not used to that level of talent and intensity. Virginia Tech will wear down Arkansas State just like Illinois did, and pull away in the second half.

Points: The under is 7-2 in the Hokies’ last nine games and 19-6-1 in the Red Wolves’ last 26 on the road.

LSU at Mississippi State: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LSU Tigers at Mississippi State Bulldogs (+3.5, 49)

THE STORY: No. 25 Mississippi State has had increased success in coach Dan Mullen’s tenure, but has not been able to ascend in the brutal Southeastern Conference West Division. After last week's disheartening loss at Auburn, the Bulldogs have yet to beat anyone other than Ole Miss in their division under Mullen.

No. 3 LSU hopes to keep that streak alive and solidify its reputation as a top-tier national title contender. But the Tigers will have to do it in what will be a raucous, cowbell-infused atmosphere in Starkville, Miss. LSU had five interceptions and kicked five field goals to beat the Bulldogs 29-7 last season in Baton Rouge. LSU has won 11 straight against Mississippi State by an average score of 39-13.

TV: ESPN

LINE MOVES: This spread opened with MSU as field-goal underdogs Thursday. That number has since been bet up to as high as 4.5 at some books. The total opened as high as 49 points and has dropped to 48.5.

ABOUT MISSISSIPPI STATE (1-1, 0-1 SEC): Two starting offensive linemen, left tackle James Carmon and Quentin Saulsberry, went down in the Auburn game. Carmon (leg) is questionable for Thursday; Saulsberry (knee) is probable. The line is a major concern against an LSU run defense that is tops in the SEC. If the Bulldogs can’t get star running back Vick Ballard going on the ground, quarterback Chris Relf will be forced to attack through the air. He was responsible for two of last year’s five picks against LSU.

ABOUT LSU (2-0, 0-0 SEC): QB Jarrett Lee has thrown only 32 times this season, mostly because the Tigers have mauled their opponents on the ground, averaging 175 yards. Lee became the starter when senior Jordan Jefferson was suspended indefinitely after being charged in a bar brawl a week before the season opener. Lee stepped in and led the Tigers to an impressive win over Oregon. The senior was an ultra-efficient 9-of-10 for 133 yards and a touchdown in Saturday’s 49-3 win over Northwestern State.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. LSU has enjoyed a 9-1 advantage in turnovers in its last two games against Mississippi State.

2. Russell Shepard, LSU's top receiver, will miss the third and final game of his three-game suspension for violating NCAA rules.

3. Mississippi State is 15-5 in home openers since 1991, including three straight wins. Its last loss in a home opener, however, came against LSU 45-0 in 2007.

TRENDS:

- Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight meetings in Mississippi State.
- Over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
- Tigers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 meetings.
- Favorite is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

PREDICTION: LSU 23, Mississippi State 20 - The Bulldogs will put up a fight, but pulling off the upset with a banged-up offensive line that had only four days to rest is too much to ask..

Friday, September 16

Boise State (-38) crushed Toledo 57-14 on blue turf LY, with 500-287 edge in yardage and +5 turnover ratio. Broncos had last week off after a convincing win over Georgia in Atlanta- second longroad trip already for team led by senior QB Moore (41st career start). Rockets lost 27-22 at Ohio State last week, outgaining OSU 338-311 but giving up a PR for a TD. Toledo has nine starters back on both sides of ball- they were just 3-16 on 3rd down last week. Rockets are 10-4 as a home dog since 2001.

2-0 Iowa State needed last-minute score to nip I-AA Northern Iowa in its opener 20-19; UNI outgained State 385-328, but then Cyclones beat rival Iowa 44-41 in OT last week 44-41, converting 13-20 on 3rd down and surviving -2 turnover ratio. UConn lost 24-21 at Vandy last week, scoring only one offensive TD- they were outgained 259-193. Both QBs are inexperienced; Huskies were just 11-29 passing last week, converting on only 3 of 15 third down plays.

Boise State at Toledo: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boise State Broncos at Toledo Rockets (+20, 59.5)

THE STORY: Boise State wouldn’t figure to have a lot of trouble with Toledo but Ohio State certainly didn’t expect to either.

The No. 4 Broncos insist they won’t be taking the Rockets lightly after Toledo nearly upset the Buckeyes before falling 27-22 last Saturday. Boise State is the highest-ranked team to ever visit Toledo’s Glass Bowl. The Broncos haven’t played in 13 days since defeating Georgia in their nationally-televised opening contest. Boise State routed Toledo 57-14 last season in the only previous meeting between the two schools.

TV: ESPN.

LINE MOVES: This spread opened with BSU at -17 and money on the Broncos has driven the spread as high as -20. The total has also moved, going from its opening post of 58.5 points to 59.5 as of Thursday afternoon.

ABOUT TOLEDO (1-1): The Rockets enter the contest with a lot of confidence after slugging it out with powerful Ohio State. Receiver Eric Page caught 12 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns against Ohio State and has 17 receptions in two games. The Rockets use a two-quarterback system with Austin Dantin (316 yards, four touchdowns) and Terrance Owens (259 yards, three touchdowns) both faring well.

Toledo also was impressive defensively, holding the Buckeyes to 301 yards. Standout linebacker Dan Molls (leg) will likely miss his second straight game and fellow linebacker Robert Bell (ribs) is also ailing.

The previous highest-ranked team to visit Toledo was No. 9 Pittsburgh in 2003. The Rockets upset the Panthers 35-31.

ABOUT BOISE STATE (1-0): The Broncos forced six three-and-outs in their victory over Georgia. Quarterback Kellen Moore threw three touchdown passes and has thrown multiple touchdowns in 34 of 41 career games. Moore is 39-2 as a starter and is six wins away from matching the career victories record held by former Texas star Colt McCoy.

Defensive end Shea McClellin scored on a 36-yard interception against Toledo last season. Starting safety Cedric Febis was expected to miss his second straight game as one of three Dutch players in Boise State’s program having their eligibility investigated by the NCAA.But Febis was re-instated by the NCAA on Thursday.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Broncos were officially placed on NCAA probation Tuesday. The penalties included the loss of nine scholarships over a three-year span.

2. Toledo’s Page had 11 receptions for 120 yards in last year’s contest against Boise State.

3. Boise State is 17-2 when playing on Fridays.

PREDICTION: Boise State 45, Toledo 17 – The Broncos are well rested and typically well prepared and it’s bad timing for the Rockets to face the Broncos six days after meeting Ohio State.

Saturday's best games

West Virginia won its last five games vs Maryland, the last four by 12+; WVU won last two visits here 31-14/31-19- they've got 1,194 yards on ground in last four series games. Terps gained 499 yards, 348 thru air in 32-24 win over suspension-plagued Miami, which turned ball over four times. Terps covered four of last five as home favorite. Mountaineers trailed Norfolk State 12-10 at half last week- they play LSU next week. WVU covered 11 of last 16 games as a road underdog.

Auburn gave up 38-34 points in its first two games, snuck out both wins now inexperienced team (6 starters back, QB's first road start) travels to play Clemson squad that lost 27-24 on Plains LY, Auburn's third series win in row, by 3-3-4 points. Clemson struggled with I-AA Wofford last week, winning 35-27 (21-21 at half); Terriers had 272 rushing yards vs Clemson. I'm guessing Auburn runs ball better than Wofford. Clemson is 7-5 as home fave under Swinney. Since '02, Auburn is 12-8 as road dog.

Over last 10 years, Ole Miss is just 4-12 as a road favorite. Underdogs are 8-3-1 vs spread in last dozen Ole Miss-Vandy games; Rebels won four of last six visits here, with favorites covering their last three trips to Music City. Vandy gave up defensive TD and another on a blocked punt last week, but still beat UConn despite completing only 13 of 27 passes, convering 2-16 on 3rd down. Commodores are 1-8 as home dog the last two years. First road start for Ole Miss QB Stoudt.

Colorado outgained Cal by 212 yards in OT loss last week, finding a star in soph WR Richardson (11 catches, 284 yards, two TDs)- they're 6-2 in last eight games vs Colorado State, with faves covering four of last five in series despite seven of last nine series games decided by 7 or less points. Buffs have injury problems on OL. State is 3-10 as road underdog with Fairchild as coach. Since '05, Colorado is 2-5 as fave away from Boulder. With Ohio State game on deck, Buffs need win here to avoid 0-4 start.

Florida won its last six games vs Tennessee (4-2 vs spread); Volunteers lost last three visits to Swamp by 10-39-9 points. Gators crushed pair of inferior foes (41-3/39-0) to start season, but both teams are I-A teams at least. Florida has very young OL (36 starts) and only four starters back on defense, but they have senior QB. Vols were 10-13 on 3rd down last week in 45-23 win over Cincinnati (was 14-14 in 1st quarter). Tennessee covered seven of its last ten games as a road underdog.

Underdogs are 7-1-1 vs spread in last nine Michigan State-Notre Dame games; Spartans won five of last six visits here- they've outgained Irish in 11 of last 14 series games, with five of last seven totals 55+. Notre Dame lost its first two games in excruciating style, giving up 203 passing yards in 4th quarter last week (to a QB not known for passing skills), turning ball over five times (three in red zone) week before. Senior QB Cousins threw for 2,825 yards LY; if young OL protects him, look out. Since '06, Spartans are 7-5 as a road underdog.

UCLA (+15) won 34-12 at Texas LY, running ball for 264 yards; it was supposed to be Neuheisel's breakthrough win, but Longhorns' struggles rest of year diminished win. Both sides are still struggling to find QB, are trying multiple kids in non-conference play. Bruins allowed 202 yards on ground to San Jose State, but pulled away late- they're 14-8 as home dog since '03, but just 7-6 under Neuheisel. Texas was down 13-3 at half to young BYU, pulled game out late- they're 7-4 as road fave since '08.

Louisville lost last four games vs Kentucky, with three of four by seven or less points; Cardinals lost last two visits here, 31-27/40-34. Dogs are 3-0 vs spread in their last three visits here. Cards outgained FIU 446-293 last week, held Panthers to nine first downs, but lost 24-17, with WR on FIU catching seven balls for 201 yards. Wildcats had only 114 yards in air in last week's 27-13 win over Central Michigan (trailed 13-6 at half). Louisville is 4-6-1 vs spread in last 11 games as a road underdog.

USC snuck out wins in its first two games, beating Minnesota 19-17 and Utah 23-14 (Utes' game-tying FG was blocked/run back for TD on last play of game); Trojans are now 3-10 in last 13 games as home favorite. Syracuse had only 36 yards rushing in 21-14 win over I-AA URI last week, after they beat Wake Forest in OT in opener (trailed 20-7 at half). Orange are just 6-23 on 3rd down- they're 5-3 vs spread under Marrone as road dog. USC had Pac-10 game last week, has another next week.

Oklahoma was 32-42/394 passing in 47-17 (-7) pasting of Florida State LY; Sooners are just 2-6 as road favorite last two years; they've got first Big 12 game next week. OU ran 100 plays for 663 yards in opener, easy win over Tulsa- they had 246 rushing yards, 417 thru air. Since 2007, Seminoles are 6-7 as underdog; over last decade, they're 2-2 as home dog. FSU hasn't been tested yet, waxing pair of overmatched foes. Each team has 16 starters back.

LY, Miami had TDs on both punt/kick return in Columbus, but still lost 36-24 (+8), thanks to minus-4 turnover ratio. No idea what to expect in Ohio State-Miami game this year, with so many guys still suspended on both sides. Hurricanes get QB Harris back here, but sub Morris played well enough in 32-24 loss at Maryland, as Miami gained 399 yards but turned ball over four times. Over last nine years, Miami is 16-33 as home favorite. Over last decade, Ohio State is 4-4 as a road underdog.

Home side won last four Utah-BYU games, with dogs 11-3 vs spread in last 14 series games; Utes lost last two visits here, 26-23/27-10- they're 6-1 vs spread in last seven series games as a dog, but are 6-7 as road dog under Whittingham. Both sides lost tough road games last week; this is an intense rivalry, but no longer a conference game, with Utah moving to Pac-10, and BYU an independent. Cougars have already played couple of tense road games; since '06, they're 15-10 as a home favorite.

Since 2005, Arizona is 9-1-1 as a home underdog, but they have one of youngest OLs in country; last week, Wildcats had only 41 rushing yards in 37-14 (+14) loss at Oklahoma State, now they get Stanford's prolific QB Luck. Cardinal had 205 yards rushing, 299 passing in 44-14 win last week at Duke. Arizona is way better than Duke, but Stanford won four of last five visits to Tucson, with last three decided by 5 or less points. Cardinal covered five of last six games as a road favorite.

Oklahoma at Florida State: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oklahoma Sooners at Florida State Seminoles (+3, 55)

THE STORY: Second-year coach Jimbo Fisher said this summer that high expectations are “why you come to Florida State.” Because Fisher has embraced those expectations, he has the Seminoles on the cusp of returning to national prominence. Fifth-ranked Florida State hosts No. 1 Oklahoma in the first meeting between top five teams in Tallahassee since 2000. The winner will emerge with a shot at an undefeated season and a BCS championship game appearance.

Florida State, which finished ranked in the top five an NCAA-record 14 straight seasons under the legendary Bobby Bowden (1987-2001), can re-emerge as a national power and boost its title hopes by avenging last season's 47-17 loss in Norman. It will be anything but easy. Oklahoma is 13-3 under Bob Stoops after a bye and 72-8 as the No. 1 team in the nation. Florida State, meanwhile, is 1-5 all-time against the nation’s top-ranked team.

LINE MOVEMENT: Oklahoma opened as a 3.5-point road favorite, but has been bet down to a field goal as of Friday afternoon. The total was climbed slightly from its opening of 54.5 to 55.

ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (2-0): Junior E.J. Manuel, coming off his first-career 300-yard game, will get a stern test from one of the best defenses in the nation. Junior cornerback/punt returner Greg Reid returns from a one-game suspension (team rules). Reid and promising sophomore cornerback Xavier Rhodes have a tough matchup against the prolific quarterback-wide receiver combination of Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles. The Seminoles’ defense, led by Stoops’ younger brother Mark, is looking to avenge last year’s poor effort (487 total yards) in Norman.

ABOUT OKLAHOMA (1-0): Jones (375 yards, one touchdown) and Broyles (14 catches, 158 yards one TD) were in mid-season form in a 47-14 victory over Tulsa on Sept. 3. The passing game will be even more dangerous upon the return of sensational sophomore wide receiver Kenny Stills, who served a one-game suspension for his DUI arrest in January. Highly regarded sophomore Corey Nelson continues to start in place of All-American linebacker Travis Lewis (broken toe).

TRENDS:

- Sooners are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as road favorites.
- Seminoles are 4-0 ATS in their last four non-conference games.
- Under is 5-2 in Sooners last seven games as favorites.
- Under is 10-4 in Seminoles last 14 games overall.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. “This is the test. … This is the game you want to live for.” - Florida State safety Lamarcus Joyner, on facing the No. 1 team.

2. Lewis, who has 362 tackles in three seasons, tweeted Monday: "Won't be playing this week. Still another week away. Sorry Sooner fans."

3. This is the first contest between top five teams at Doak Campbell Stadium since the No. 3 Seminoles pounded No. 4 Florida 30-7 in 2000.

PREDICTION: Oklahoma 37, Florida State 27 - The Seminoles aren’t on the Sooners’ level just yet. Florida State’s only hope is to control the clock with its solid running game and keep Jones and Broyles off the field.
