College football odds: Week 13 opening line report

Those who don’t believe in the age-old theory that having one loss can kill your season in college football were smiling big this weekend.

Almost as wide as Alabama fans.

As the upsets continued to pile up, knocking the BCS computers into a tizzy, the Crimson Tide took care of business versus Georgia Southern and sat back and watched their destiny -- and more importantly, their shot at the BCS title game -- improve.

“There was nothing about what our players did this week,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said after Saturday’s tougher-than-expected 45-21 win. “They worked, they respected this, and they worked hard to try and get this stuff right.”

And all the while, everyone else in the BCS mix, for the most part, got it all wrong.

Down they went. Oklahoma State. Oklahoma. Oregon. Clemson. All faltering against inferior opponents, almost clearing the way for Alabama to meet LSU in an all-SEC BCS national title game in New Orleans.

Wouldn’t that be something? But first thing’s first. Both the Crimson Tide and Tigers have big games this holiday weekend to tackle, so let’s journey into those first.

LSU’s defense, which throttled Alabama and contained Oregon, will have another tough task on its hands vs. Arkansas on Friday. A true wild-card in this mix, Arkansas is 10-1 and has as good a shot as any team not named LSU or Alabama at making New Orleans.

That said, the books know what’s stake. And they know just how talented LSU truly is.

“Well, it should be a good game, and Arkansas is good,” Pete Korner of Esportclub, LLC, in Las Vegas told ***********. “But with all that is at stake for LSU, we wanted it to go over the standard two-touchdown line.”

Korner established LSU as a 14.5-point favorite. The Wynn Las Vegas, the first sportsbook in Nevada to post weekly college football lines, went with Tigers -14.

In what’s expected to be less of a game, the Crimson Tide get an opportunity to exact revenge on the Tigers, after Cam Newton and Co. rallied past them last season. This could be a tricky step for Alabama, especially after scuffling some vs. Georgia Southern, and this is, after all, the Iron Bowl, where anything can happen. But the pros have to lean on the chalk, for sure.

“Things broke right for Alabama, and I don’t know what Auburn has left,” Korner said. This really looks like a mismatch. And it’s all Alabama. It looks like a big number, but that’s the way it has to be.”

Korner established Alabama as an 18-point favorite. The Wynn went with a bigger spread, making Saban’s boys 21-point faves.

And with that, let’s take a look at some of next week’s other marquee games relying on the Wynn’s opening numbers and getting Korner’s odds and thoughts.

Texas (+8) at Texas A&M

We throw this one on the docket because it’s the Thanksgiving Special, and it will be watched and bet outside of the state. But, really, not great teams in not great situations, as this winner will only be notching its seventh victory of the season.

“Texas is just a mediocre team,” Korner said. “There’s nothing special here at all.”

Iowa State (+28) at Oklahoma
If you’re a hangover/bounce-back player, you have to either love or hate this one. After all, which way do you go? The Cyclones will be sky high after knocking off Oklahoma State. And the Sooners have to be ultra-motivated after losing at Baylor. Or will they not even care anymore? Something has to give.

“We stuck it at the highest number (-30) we could,” Korner said. “Oklahoma had some things fall into place, and they couldn’t take advantage of it. Here, at home, with still a shot at something, they need to play big.”

Wyoming (+32) at Boise State

The Cowboys, with seven wins, can play a little, but whatever Boise State has left in the tank has to come out here at home on the blue turf. Where they are headed with regards to the BCS is still out there, and all they can control is this margin of victory.

“With Boise, you’re talking about a team that is not covering now, all of a sudden,” Korner said, who recommended Boise State -34. “But they should win big here. It’s really all about how much do they want it at this point.”

Virginia Tech (-5.5) at Virginia

With this being the ACC title game semifinal, there’s a little more juice in this matchup. The Cavaliers have battled valiantly, and deserved every bit of that win at Florida State this weekend. But the Hokies have more balance, more talent, and more at stake.

“Interesting game. We went back and forth on this one,” Korner said. “And I do see this going lower during the week. I like what Virginia has done, and they’re coming off a big win. So, this one is very interesting.”

Oregon State (+29) at Oregon

The Civil War figured to be a blowout anyway, but now that the Ducks are coming off a loss, with their title game chances shot, it’s going to get real ugly, real fast, one would think.

“Not much to discuss on this one. Oregon had it all in front of them, and they let it slip,” Korner said. “For whatever’s left, they have to play big and win big. It was such a brutal time for a loss.”

Penn State (+16) at Wisconsin

The Big Ten title game semifinal finally gives the Badgers a chance to undo their upsets and truly flex their muscle as the conference’s best team. With all due respect to Penn State, consecutive road wins in the Big Ten -- against the likes of Ohio State and Wisconsin -- is going to be a tall task.

“It’s been interesting with Wisconsin and how dull they’ve been,” Korner said. “With Penn State, yes, they won a big game, but Wisconsin has all the makings of a bounce-back bet here.
“And you never know how Penn State is going to come out. Beating Ohio State was a good win for them, all things considered, but how good is Ohio State anymore?”

Clemson (+4) at South Carolina

Boy, were the Tigers exposed against N.C. State. We’ll truly see what Clemson coach Dabo Swinney is made of here, as the next two games feature the Tigers’ biggest rival, and then an opportunity to win the ACC. Not the best time to be coming off a pasting at the hands of the Wolfpack.

“Should be a good, tight, rivalry game,” Korner said. “We went back and forth here, and after all the debating, we basically just went with the standard home-field line (-3) here.”

Notre Dame (+7) at Stanford

The Cardinal returned to the win column on Saturday, but a 31-28 win over Cal in “The Big Game” wasn’t exactly the bounce back it should have been. Who knows, maybe this team just isn’t that good. Certainly, the defense has been whacked the last two weeks. Let’s see what the improved Irish can do against it.

“Big game for Stanford here, a good game, and a good opportunity for them to bounce back,” Korner said. “It’ll say a lot for them if they can put up a pretty big score. We want to keep this as high as we can because of Stanford’s ability on offense, obviously.”

Instant replay: NCAAF and NFL betting recap

Each week, we’ll recap all the betting information you need to know from the college and pro football action that went down over the weekend.

NCAAF betting recap

Just when it looked as though the BCS picture coming together everything fell apart. After last weekend’s chaos in college football, four of the seven teams that had a legit chance to play in the championship game are either no longer in the running or at least need some major help down the stretch.

That means you Oklahoma State, Oregon, Oklahoma and Clemson.

So it wasn’t surprising to see underdogs go off on a 38-20 run against the spread over the last seven days, with 19 of those pups winning outright. Meanwhile, home favorites were just 13-22 against the spread. Under bettors finished with a slight 30-28 edge.

NFL betting recap

The fantastic run the Green Bay Packers are on is no shocker, but the streak San Francisco is on is really turning some heads.

San Francisco improved to 9-1 straight up and 9-0-1 against the spread with an impressive 23-7 win over Arizona as a 10-point favorite. The Niners have allowed a league-low 145 points this season and own a comfortable lead in the NFC West as they head into a huge matchup with Baltimore Thursday evening.

Meanwhile, the San Diego Chargers were a popular Super Bowl pick in preseason, but after dropping their third straight game Sunday, are in danger of falling out of the playoff picture. They are just 2-8 against the spread after Sunday’s 31-20 loss at Chicago.

Underdogs are 7-5-1 against the spread ahead of Week 11’s Monday Nighter with the total tally split at six overs and six unders.

Miami (Ohio) at Ohio: What bettors need to know
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miami (Ohio) RedHawks at Ohio Bobcats (-9), 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2

With a berth in the MAC Championship Game already clinched, Ohio hosts instate rival Miami.

The Bobcats (8-3 SU, 5-6 ATS) sewed up the MAC East with last week’s 29-28 win at Bowling Green on Wednesday. Ohio was a 7-point road favorite in that game and failed to cover the spread for only the second time in its last 11 games in November.

The RedHawks (4.7 SU, 6-5 ATS), the defending conference champs, are just playing out the string and have nothing to lose. Last week’s 24-21 home loss to Western Michigan ended Miami’s bowl hopes. The RedHawks are 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings with Ohio.

The Line

Ohio opened as a 7-point home favorite on Saturday at the Las Vegas Wynn. Offshore, the Bobcats opened at -7.5 at a lot of shops Monday but they were set as high as -9 later Monday evening.

Ohio is 10-6 ATS as a home favorite under Solich. Miami is 0-4 ATS in its last four games as a road underdog of 3.5-10.0.

Weather

There is an 80 percent chance of thunderstorms throughout the evening with temperatures in low 50s and a 10-20 mph SW wind.

Statistically Speaking

Miami has the worst rushing attack in the nation, but the second-best passing attack in the MAC, led by quarterback Zac Dysert.

The unbalanced RedHawks could be hard pressed to move the football against an Ohio defense that ranks 20th in the nation in pass efficiency defense.

In contrast, the Bobcats are extremely balanced, featuring quarterback Tyler Tettleton and future NFL receiver LaVon Brazill.

Last Meeting

Ohio has won five straight overall, including an emphatic 34-13 beat down of the RedHawks in Miami last October. The margin of victory is skewed a little by six RedHawks’ turnovers, but there was no doubting which program had the most talent at the time.

The RedHawks managed just 14 yards on the ground and had the ball for 11 minutes less than the Bobcats.

Injury Report

Neither team is reporting any recent significant injuries.

Trends

Ohio is 28-13-2 ATS in last 43 games following a straight-up win.

Over is 9-2 in Bobcats’ last 11 games in November.

Favorite is 6-1 ATS in last seven meetings.

College football Top 25 betting cheat sheet: Week 13

Houston Cougars at Tulsa Golden Hurricane (+3, 75)

Why Houston will cover: The Cougars can see a BCS light at the end of the tunnel. That’s motivation. Plus, Houston’s top-ranked passing (448 ypg) and scoring (53.1 ppg) offense faces a Tulsa defense that ranks 107th against the pass.

Why Tulsa will cover: Tulsa has won seven straight and five straight ATS, thanks to an explosive offense. The Hurricane beat Houston last year.

Points: Both teams can light up a scoreboard and each has a mediocre defense. Both have been hitting the over in recent weeks.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Nebraska Cornhuskers (-9.5, 53.5)

Why Iowa will cover: NU is floundering ATS, going 0-2-1 in its last three and 3-8-1 in its last 12. Iowa is balanced and typically steady.

Why Nebraska will cover: Nebraska is 14th at running the ball and 19th against the pass. A quick lead and Iowa’s in trouble. Plus, the Hawkeyes aren’t great at doing anything, and have just one road win all year.

Points: The over is 7-3 in Iowa’s last 10, though the under has hit in four of Nebraska’s last five.

Arkansas Razorbacks at LSU Tigers (-12, 52)

Why Arkansas will cover: The Razorbacks offense has been on, scoring 44 or more in three straight. They won at LSU last year, so they won’t be intimidated by the surroundings.

Why LSU will cover: LSU’s defense has shut down the best of them and the unit ranks in the top 10 across the board. LSU is 5-1 ATS in its last six. Arkansas’ defense hasn’t been great against the run.

Points: The over has hit in Arkansas’ last four games, all with a similar total to this game. But with a potential BCS trip on the line, defense has prevailed in big games like this.

Pittsburgh Panthers at West Virginia Mountaineers (-6.5, 57)

Why Pittsburgh will cover: West Virginia struggles to run already and Pitt excels at stopping it, making the Mountaineers one dimensional. Pitt is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 vs. teams with a winning record.

Why West Virginia will cover: Pitt’s offense has been stagnant, and West Virginia’s defense has been improving. Plus, the Mountaineers’ offense averages 362 ypg through the air, and slowing the pass is not a Panthers’ strength.

Points: The over is 8-1 in WVU’s last nine, though it’s 1-4 in Pitt’s last five.

Georgia Bulldogs at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (+6.5, 54.5)

Why Georgia will cover: Georgia is 7-2 ATS in its last nine. Meanwhile, GT is floundering, 1-4 ATS in its last five. Georgia ranks No. 2 at stopping the run, which is very favorable against the No. 2 rush attack of GT.

Why Georgia Tech will cover: Georgia was unimpressive in hanging on to beat hapless Kentucky last week. Georgia Tech’s offense can still steamroll the best of them on any given day.

Points: The under is 6-2 in Georgia’s last eight and is 3-1 in Tech’s last four.

Michigan State Spartans at Northwestern Wildcats (+6.5, 51.5)

Why Michigan State will cover: The Spartans’ defense is No. 4 against the pass and No. 10 against the run. The Wildcats haven’t fared well against elite defenses. MSU is 6-2 ATS in its last eight.

Why Northwestern will cover: The Wildcats have won four straight SU, including at Nebraska. An offense that ranks 37th in both rushing and passing can put a lot of pressure on opponents.

Points: The over is 7-2 in NW’s last nine Big Ten games, but is under in its last three overall.

Ohio State Buckeyes at Michigan Wolverines (-8, 45)

Why Ohio State will cover: Ohio State has owned Michigan for most of the last decade. The Buckeyes have a defense that ranks 14th overall and an offense that continues to get better.

Why Michigan will cover: The Wolverines won’t take lightly a real shot at knocking off the hated Buckeyes. Ohio State is 0-3 ATS in its last three - Michigan is 3-1 in its last four - and Michigan shut down a Nebraska offense that has similar strengths to OSU.

Points: The under is 4-1 in Michigan’s last five, and OSU’s strength is still its defense.

Wyoming Cowboys at Boise State Broncos (-32.5, 61)

Why Wyoming will cover: The Cowboys fare well on the road, 12-4 ATS in its last 16. Boise State, meanwhile, is 0-4 ATS in its last four. Wyoming’s pass defense is steady.

Why Boise State will cover: Boise State, for its recent flubs, still has one of the top offenses around, and the defense remains strong against the rush (Wyoming’s preferred way to move the ball). Plus, it’s Senior Day at BSU. They’ll do what it takes to send Kellen Moore and Co. out in style.

Points: The over is 6-0 in Boise’s last six but 0-3 in Wyoming’s last three.

Alabama Crimson Tide at Auburn Tigers (+21, 47)

Why Alabama will cover: Alabama’s defense ranks No. 1 in the nation in stopping the run, stopping the pass, and in points allowed. Auburn’s offense can’t move the ball through the air.

Why Auburn will cover: That’s a big spread for the Iron Bowl, especially against the defending national champions who are unbeaten at home.

Points: Auburn’s going to struggle to move the ball consistently, so that’s a big number for one team, the road team, to hit by itself.

Texas Tech Red Raiders at Baylor Bears (-12.5, 77.5)

Why Texas Tech will cover: Texas Tech can throw the ball (No. 7) and Baylor can’t stop it (No. 93). Baylor is 2-3 ATS in its last five.

Why Baylor will cover: Baylor can also throw (No. 5), but they can run the ball, too (No. 25). And Texas Tech is 119th at stopping the run. The Bears are 7-1 in their last eight vs. teams with a sub-.500 record.

Points: Points will be easy to come by, though that’s a real high number.

Virginia Tech Hokies at Virginia Cavaliers (+5, 45.5)

Why Virginia Tech will cover: The favorite is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Statistically, Virginia Tech is better in just about every way. The Hokies are now in position for a potential BCS title and must be reinvigorated.

Why Virginia will cover: Virginia is on a roll, 6-1 SU and 4-0 ATS lately. The defense has held opponents to 21 or fewer six of the last seven games.

Points: The under is 8-1 in Virginia’s last nine and is 2-1-1 in VT’s last four.

Penn State Nittany Lions at Wisconsin Badgers (+14.5, 49)

Why Penn State will cover: After going 5-0-1 ATS early, Wisconsin is 1-4 ATS since. The Nittany Lions defense is No. 3 in points allowed and their last seven games have all been decided either way by 10 points or less.

Why Wisconsin will cover: Penn State’s defensive liability is in slowing the run, which fits into Wisconsin’s gameplan (10th). The Badgers are 6-0-1 ATS at home.

Points: The under is 9-1-1 for PSU and has hit in UW’s last two.

Oregon State Beavers at Oregon Ducks (-28, 63.5)

Why Oregon State will cover: The Beavers have their issues, but they can throw it, averaging 286 ypg through the air. And Oregon ranks 87th at pass defense.

Why Oregon will cover: The Ducks offense is too powerful for OSU to stop it. And once they get the lead, and can run, run, run, it’ll only grow.

Points: The over is 8-1 in the last nine meetings.

Clemson Tigers at South Carolina Gamecocks (-4, 50)

Why Clemson will cover: The Tigers still have one of the more powerful offenses around and it only takes a few breaks for them to blow a game wide open.

Why South Carolina will cover: The Gamecocks have alternated win/loss ATS all season long. Last week, they lost. And Clemson is 0-3 ATS in its last three. Plus, USC is No. 2 in pass defense, which negates Clemson’s chief strength.

Points: All trends point toward and under finish.

Iowa State Cyclones at Oklahoma Sooners (-28, 68.5)

Why Iowa State will cover: After a rough midseason ISU is back on track, going 3-1 ATS in its last four. The team can run the ball and run defense is OU’s main concern.

Why Oklahoma will cover: Oklahoma’s offense can pass and run and averages 44.7 ppg (sixth). Iowa State’s defense ranks 84th in points allowed.

Points: The over is 6-2 for OU games and there should be some points scored both sides here.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Stanford Cardinal (-6.5, 58)

Why Notre Dame will cover: The Irish continue to improve on offense, while Stanford seems to be taking steps back, especially on defense.

Why Stanford will cover: Stanford can beat teams by running or passing and Notre Dame is just OK against both.

Points: The over is 4-1 in Stanford’s last five, but both teams seem poised for breakout offensive outbursts.

Texas at Texas A&M: What bettors need to know
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Texas Longhorns at Texas A&M Aggies (-7.5 54)

THE STORY: It could be a long time before anyone sees the Texas-Texas A&M rivalry again. With the Aggies set to move to the SEC next season and Texas announcing they would not be working Texas A&M into its non-conference slate anytime soon, each school will have one last chance to show the other who has the better program.

The Aggies were not happy about Texas’ Longhorn Television Network or the instability in the Big 12 and will complete their move in July of 2012, marking the first time in 82 years that Texas A&M and Texas will not be in the same conference. Instead of battling it out for the Big 12 title, the Aggies and Longhorns will instead be fighting over fifth place. Texas A&M snapped a three-game slide last weekend with a 61-7 drubbing of Kansas while Texas comes in having dropped back-to-back games.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE MOVES: Texas A&M opened as an 8-point favorite and has been bet down to 7.5. The total opened at 53.5, which has climbed slightly to 54.

ABOUT TEXAS (6-4, 3-4 Big 12, 5-5 ATS): Offense has been the big problem for the Longhorns against any strong team. Texas managed a total of 18 points in losses to Missouri and Kansas State in the last two weeks. The quarterback situation has been fluid and it looks as though Case McCoy will get the start against Texas A&M after David Ash threw a pair of interceptions last week.

ABOUT TEXAS A&M (6-5, 4-4, 3-8 ATS): The Aggies are coming to the end of a disappointing season after being ranked No. 9 and being talked about as a potential Big 12 title contender in the preseason. Texas A&M could be without running back Cyrus Gray, who suffered a stress fracture in his shoulder during Saturday’s win. The Aggies are already missing running back Christine Michael, who was lost for the season to a knee injury on Nov. 5. Four of Texas A&M’s five losses have come against teams ranked in the top 20.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. If Gray can’t play, the Aggies will turn to sophomore Ben Malena and freshman Will Randolph at tailback.

2. Texas A&M won last year, 24-17, in Austin as Gray rushed for 223 yards and two touchdowns.

3. Texas leads the all-time series, 75-37-5.

TRENDS:

* Home team is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 meetings.
* Under is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings in Texas A&M.
* Under is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings.
* Longhorns are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Longhorns are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Texas A&M.

PREDICTION: Texas A&M 38, Texas 20. The Aggies will leave the Big 12 in style as Ryan Tannehill finds the few holes in the Longhorns secondary.

Week 13

Thursday's game

Last meeting in long/bitter rivalry between Longhorns/Aggies; I'm talking 117 years of history, so this will be fierce struggle. Underdogs are 4-2 vs spread in last six series games, with Aggies 3-2 in last five, but 1-4 in last five played here. A&M lost three of last four games; they're 2-7 against spread as favorite this year, 2-3 at home. Texas lost its last two games 17-5/17-13, so they're having trouble scoring; Longhorns are 0-3 as dogs this year- three of their four losses are by 12+ points.

Where the action is: Black Friday's NCAAF line moves

Black Friday isn’t just about getting the best deals on Christmas gifts. It’s also about finding the best betting lines for a full slate of college football. We talk to Jay Rood, sportsbook manager at the MGM Mirage, about the biggest line moves on Friday’s board.

Eastern Michigan Eagles at Northern Illinois Huskies – Open: -20, Move: -18

Rood says there isn’t any public money on this MAC matchup, with nothing but sharp action dragging this line down. He can’t put his finger on the reason for the move, but does say the depth of these small-conference teams can play a role in the outcome.

“A lot of the time, it’s all about the starters,” he says.

Toledo Rockets at Ball State Cardinals – Open: +12, Move: +14

The MAC has been a favorite with sharp bettors this season. Rood is surprised by the amount of sharp bets coming in on the conference’s clashes, and the aggressiveness of their plays.

“The MAC games are amazing how much the line moves and it’s amazing how much the sharps love them,” says Rood. “This one could get as high as 17. I wouldn’t be surprised. They are aggressively moving the spread to the number they want them at.”

Arkansas Razorbacks at LSU Tigers – Open: -13.5, Move: -11.5

There has been straight-bet money coming in on Arkansas but almost all parlay action is on LSU. Rood says it’s been pretty quiet with this SEC showdown, but expects some frantic action – and movement – tomorrow afternoon.

“If the line does move, I think it will go down,” he says.” I could see this one closing closer to 10.”

Pittsburgh Panthers at West Virginia Mountaineers – Open: -8, Move: -6.5

It’s been nothing but sharp action on the Panthers for this classic Big East rivalry. Rood, who tags this “The Sharp Game of the Day,” is a little confused as to the reason why, stating that not only is this a big conference game but also a huge recruiting situation.

“Pitt has come up short in all its big spots this season,” says Rood. “West Virginia has the tools to hang a lot of points on opponents.”

Black Friday NCAAF action: What bettors need to know
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Houston Cougars at Tulsa Golden Hurricane (+2.5, 75.5)

THE STORY: No. 7 Houston looks to complete its quest for a perfect regular season and a possible BCS bowl bid with perhaps its toughest road trip of the year at Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane are also undefeated in Conference USA play, so this will determine the winner of the West Division and decide who gets to host the Conference USA Championship Game on Dec. 3. This matchup pits the league’s two best quarterbacks in Houston’s Case Keenum and Tulsa’s G.J. Kinne. Kinne trails only Keenum — the NCAA’s career record-holder in every major passing category — in passing yards per game, pass efficiency and total offense.

TV: Noon ET, FSN

LINE: Houston opened as high as -3.5 and has dropped to -2.5. The total has climbed from 75 to 75.5.

WEATHER: The forecast in Tulsa is calling for winds, blowing south down field, at speeds of up to 20 mph.

ABOUT HOUSTON (11-0, 7-0 Conference USA, 9-2 ATS): Lost amid the hoopla of Keenum leading the Cougars’ record-breaking offense has been the play of the defense the last three games. Houston has held its previous three opponents to 37 combined points, including a 37-7 victory over SMU last weekend. The Cougars limited the Mustangs’ high-octane offense to only 263 total yards, 24 of which were on the ground. Senior linebacker Sammy Brown was named the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week after recording 4.5 tackles for loss and three sacks.

ABOUT TULSA (8-3, 7-0 Conference USA, 7-4 ATS): Houston has received the national headlines out of C-USA, but the Golden Hurricane have been awfully impressive as well. If not for an ultra-aggressive non-conference schedule that included losses to Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Boise State, Tulsa could very well be 11-0 heading into this matchup, too. Kinne was named the Conference USA Player of the Week after his team’s 57-28 win at UTEP, completing 76 percent of his passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns. It was Kinne’s 14th 300-yard passing game of his career.

TRENDS:

* Home team is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Underdog is 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Cougars are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Golden Hurricane are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 conference games.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Houston is looking for its school-record 12th win of the season.

2. Tulsa has won seven straight, and six have come by at least 17 points.

3. The Cougars lead the nation in both total offense (618 yards per game) and scoring offense (53 points per game).

PREDICTION: Tulsa 45, Houston 42. In a season full of BCS-shaking upsets, the Golden Hurricane will provide the latest in a high-scoring shootout between two evenly matched teams.

Arkansas Razorbacks at LSU Tigers (-11.5, 52)

THE STORY: After last week’s shuffling of the BCS puzzle, the only thing certain is that the SEC will once again be represented in the National Championship Game by at least one school. Right now, it's shaping up as an Alabama-Louisiana State rematch, but No. 3 Arkansas will have something to say about that. The Razorbacks used last weekend’s chaos to jump up into third in the BCS standings. They probably still need a win over the No. 1 Tigers and an Alabama loss to reach the National Championship Game, but anything is possible. Several scenarios exist in the case of a three-way tie atop the SEC West between LSU, Alabama and Arkansas. The easiest way for the Tigers to ensure themselves a spot in at least the SEC Championship game would be to topple the Razorbacks in Baton Rouge. Arkansas will be playing with heavy hearts after backup tight end Garrett Uekman was found dead in his dorm room Sunday.

TV: 2:30 p.m. ET, CBS.

LINE: LSU opened at -13.5 and has been bet down to -11.5. The total has remained steady at 52.

ABOUT ARKANSAS (10-1, 6-1 SEC, 7-4 ATS): The Razorbacks’ loss came to No. 2 Alabama way back on Sept. 24. Since then they have taken down three ranked teams, including a 44-28 win over then-No. 9 South Carolina on Nov. 5. Arkansas has eclipsed 40 points in each of the last three games and boasts a passing attack that is averaging 316.9 yards - 10th best in the nation. Tyler Wilson has 21 touchdowns and five interceptions and was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week after putting up 365 yards and three scores in a 44-17 drubbing of Mississippi State last Saturday.

ABOUT LSU (11-0, 7-0, 8-3 ATS): Aiming to stop that passing attack will be the Tigers’ No. 2-ranked scoring defense, which is holding opponents to 10 points. That defense is allowing only 158.3 yards through the air and has yielded a total of 11 touchdowns in 2011. LSU has shown off its offense in the last two weeks, beating Western Kentucky and Ole Miss by a combined 94-12. The time-share at quarterback between Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee has not been an issue because the running game has accounted for 644 yards the last two weeks.

TRENDS:

* Razorbacks are 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Louisiana State.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Razorbacks are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings in Louisiana State.
* Road team is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Alfred Blue has ripped off runs of at least 45 yards in back-to-back games for the Tigers.

2. Saturday will feature the highest-ranked matchup at Tiger Stadium since No. 1 LSU beat No. 3 Ole Miss in 1959.

3. Arkansas is ranked in the top three for the first time since Oct. 15, 1978.

PREDICTION: LSU 24, Arkansas 17 -- The Razorbacks will put up a few points, but the Tigers will get the stops they need to win.

Pittsburgh Panthers at West Virginia Mountaineers (-6.5, 57)

THE STORY: The 104th installment of the Backyard Brawl comes amid speculation over how much longer this rivalry game will continue. While the Panthers aren't ACC-bound for another two seasons, the Mountaineers are in litigation to leave the Big East as early as next year for the Big 12, which could make scheduling it a challenge. WVU athletic director Oliver Luck said last week he and Pitt AD Steve Pederson “both have a strong desire to maintain the rivalry,” which again has BCS implications. The visiting Panthers and No. 23 Mountaineers are both 3-2 in Big East play, behind 4-2 leaders Louisville and Rutgers, and are coming off bye weeks.

TV: ESPN, ESPN3.

LINE: West Virginia opened at -7.5 and has dropped to -6.5. The total has stayed steady at 75 points.

ABOUT PITTSBURGH (5-5, 3-2 Big East, 5-5 ATS): The Panthers will counter the league's top passing attack (362.1 yards) with a defense that's yielded just 176.4 passing yards over its last five games. Pitt delivered one of its best defensive performances last time out in a 21-14 win at Louisville, in which it held the Cardinals to just 165 passing yards and 115 on the ground. The Panthers didn't allow the second touchdown until just 12 seconds remained, and limited the Cardinals to 3-for-11 on third-down conversions. Remarkably, they also didn't incur any penalty yards in rebounding from a 26-23 home loss to Cincinnati in which the Panthers blew a 10-point second-half lead.

ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (7-3, 3-2 Big East, 5-5 ATS): After stumbling at home in a mistake-plagued loss to Louisville on Nov. 5, the Mountaineers earned a hard-fought road triumph at Cincinnati, 24-21 on Nov. 12. Junior quarterback Geno Smith continued his torrid season with 372 yards against the Bearcats, the sixth time he's topped 370. He's put up the school's two highest single-game efforts (463 vs. LSU, 450 vs. Connecticut) already, and needs just 111 yards to surpass Marc Bulger's season mark of 3,607. One of Smith's top targets has been sophomore Stedman Bailey, whose 10 touchdown catches are two behind the school's season record held by Chris Henry and Darius Reynaud.

TRENDS:

* Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as underdogs.
* Mountaineers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine conference games.
* Over is 8-1 in Mountaineers' last nine games overall.
* Under is 4-1 in Panthers' last five games overall.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. The Mountaineers have won two straight in the series, following back-to-back Pitt triumphs that included the 13-9 stunner at Morgantown in 2007.

2. Pittsburgh's Todd Graham and WVU's Dana Holgorsen will make their Backyard Brawl head coaching debuts, though Graham was an assistant under the Mountaineers' Rich Rodriguez for the 2001-02 games.

3. The victor will know how Louisville stands by kickoff, as the Cardinals play South Florida earlier Friday, but Rutgers doesn't take the field until Saturday at Connecticut.

PREDICTION: West Virginia 33, Pittsburgh 23 – Pitt leads 61-39-3 all-time, but the Mountaineers will feed off some extra emotion with the uncertainty of perhaps never hosting a “Brawl” again.

Cal Golden Bears at Arizona State Sun Devils (-6, 54)

THE STORY: Arizona State once appeared destined to represent the Pac-12 South in the conference title game, but a three-game losing streak has changed the program’s fortunes. The Sun Devils desperately need a victory over California on Friday and then will must wait and see wait unfolds Saturday to see whether or not there is a three-way atop the division. If the Sun Devils, UCLA and Utah all end with a 5-4 conference slate, Arizona State is the division champ. UCLA clinches the division if it beats USC on Saturday.

TV: ESPN.

LINE: Arizona State opened around -5.5 and has climbed to -6. The total opened at 53.5 and has climbed to 54.

ABOUT ARIZONA STATE (6-5, 4-4 Pac-12 South, 6-5 ATS): The Sun Devils are 5-1 at home after losing to Arizona last Saturday. Junior running back Cameron Marshall has rushed for a Pac-12 high 16 touchdowns and is two behind the school record shared by Woody Green (1972) and Terry Battle (1996). Sophomore quarterback Brock Osweiler is coming off a 487-yard outing that ranks fifth-highest in Arizona State history. Osweiler has passed for 3,377 yards, second-most in school history behind Andrew Walter (3,877 in 2002). Osweiler has 21 touchdown passes against 10 interceptions. Senior receiver Gerrell Robinson has 61 receptions for 1,100 yards. The Sun Devils have allowed 97 points during their three-game skid.

ABOUT CALIFORNIA (6-5, 3-5 Pac-12 North, 3-7-1 ATS): The Golden Bears have an impressive duo of receivers in sophomore Keenan Allen and senior Marvin Jones. Allen is having one of the top seasons in Cal history with 84 catches for 1,200 yards. The receptions are third most in school history and the yardage ranks second most behind Geoff McArthur (1,504 yards in 2003). Jones has at least one catch in 36 consecutive games and ranks eighth in school history with 143 receptions. He has 49 catches for 704 yards this season. Junior quarterback Zach Maynard has thrown for 2,565 yards and 16 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. Senior linebacker Mychal Kendricks leads the Bears in tackles (88) and tackles for loss (11).

TRENDS:

* Home team is 6-0 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Favorite is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Golden Bears are 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings.
* Golden Bears are 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings in Arizona State.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Cal leads the series 16-14 and has won seven of the last eight meetings.

2. The Golden Bears are just 1-4 on the road and have allowed 31 or more points in each game.

3. Arizona State has forced 28 turnovers and its plus-11 turnover margin is tops in the Pac-12.

PREDICTION: California 34, Arizona State 31 – The Golden Bears continue dominance of series and the Sun Devils complete a devastating slide to miss the Pac-12 title game.
