    College football odds: Week 6 opening line report

    Winning in college football isn’t just about being ahead on the scoreboard when the final seconds tick off the clock. If that were the case, the LSU Tigers would still be ranked the No. 1 team in the country.

    Louisiana State, which opened the 2012 campaign as the preseason No. 1, is undefeated heading into Week 6’s SEC showdown with the Florida Gators but has slid back to the No. 3 spot in the Top 25 due to unimpressive victories over Auburn and FCS Towson.

    In fact, the Tigers have fallen short of expectations - oddsmakers’ expectations - in three of their five games so far, going 2-3 ATS. Last year, LSU had the reverse of that ATS record at this point in the schedule and finished the regular season 10-3 ATS – one of six teams with double-figure paydays.

    Online books opened LSU as a 3-point road favorite heading into the Swamp this Saturday and that number has dropped below the field goal to -2.5 with money on the home side. However, some oddsmakers thought the line should be higher, recommending the Tigers as big as 6-point chalk in Gainesville.

    Peter Korner, founder of the Nevada-based odds service The Sports Club, says all five of his college football oddsmakers had LSU higher than a 2.5-point favorite when they crunched the numbers Sunday. Korner says LSU’s slide in the polls and Florida’s 4-0 record have books trimming the opening spread.

    “It’s a combo of everything,” he says. “We were obviously a little high with the number but those early moves are sharp money moves – not the betting public. And the fact that it has slipped below the key number of three, we’ll see this go back up."

    “If you’re betting the favorite, you want to wait this one out. It’s all Florida money right now, there hasn't been any on LSU. But they have their following and their money.”

    Here are the opening odds for some of Week 6’s biggest games:

    Oklahoma Sooners at Texas Tech Red Raiders (+5)

    The Sooners have had two weeks to put the upset loss to Kansas State behind them and focus on Texas Tech. Oklahoma opened as a 4-point road favorite and early money on OU has bumped the spread to -5 as of Monday morning.

    There is an aura of revenge for this Saturday’s Big 12 battle as well. The Red Raiders defeated the Sooners 41-38 as 29-point underdogs last October, snapping Oklahoma’s 39-game home winning streak and dousing OU’s national title hopes.

    Georgia Bulldogs at South Carolina Gamecocks (-2.5)

    The Sports Club sent out South Carolina as a field-goal favorite for this SEC showdown. Books agreed and opened the Gamecocks -3, taking early money on the Bulldogs to shrink the spread to -2.5 as of Monday morning.

    The winner of this battle of unbeaten programs will have the inside track in the SEC East, especially if Florida falls to LSU. The Gamecocks have won the last two meetings with the Bulldogs SU and ATS, and are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five encounters.

    Nebraska Cornhuskers at Ohio State Buckeyes (-4.5)

    Without the promise of a postseason, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer may struggle for motivation at times this season. But, Week 6 isn’t one of those times. The undefeated Buckeyes welcome No. 20 Nebraska to Columbus and books have tabbed them as 4.5-point favorites. The Huskers topped OSU, 34-27, at home last October, coming back from a 27-6 third-quarter deficit.

    The Sports Club sent out a suggested spread of OSU -3.5 and it seems bettors agree with that number, taking the opening spread of -5 down to -4.5 as of Monday morning. The Cornhuskers escaped with a three-point win over Wisconsin at home last weekend and head to Ohio for just their second road game of season so far. Nebraska fell 36-30 to UCLA the last time they left Lincoln.

              Armadillo's Write-Up

              Week 6


              Thursday's games
              East Carolina-Central Florida both had tough games Saturday, with ECU winning conference game with UTEP, Knights losing to BCS opponent Missouri at home. Pirates are 4-8 as road dogs under McNeill, pulling an upset at winless Southern Mississippi, getting waxed at South Carolina (48-10), North Carolina (27-6). Dogs covered four of last five series games; ECU won five of last six series games, with totals of 69-84 in last two. UCF is 12-7 vs spread as home favorite since '09, but 0-2 this year; both their losses this season came vs BCS opponents. Favorites are 4-2 vs spread in C-USA games this season.

              Utah lost by 9 at USC LY when they had game-tying FG blocked on the last play and Trojans ran it back for TD. Utes are 1-2 vs I-A opponents, allowing 28.3 ppg; since '03, they're 5-2 as home underdogs, but they do not run ball well, averaging 78 ypg vs I-A foes. USC lost at Stanford due to Cardinal's balance- 202 rushing yards, 215 passing; Trojans are 7-13 in last 20 tries as road favorites, 4-4 under Kiffin. Having senior QB is big in road games, and Trojand have Barkley. Home teams are 7-5 vs spread in Pac-12 games this year, home dogs 4-2. Tough to endorse Ute squad that lost last game 37-7 at ASU and also lost at Utah State.

              Arkansas State led Western Kentucky 13-0 at half LW but lost 26-13 at home; they've got only 10 starters back from LY and are on third coach in last three years. Red Wolves allowed 243+ rushing yards in their three losses this year; they covered 10 of last 15 road games. FIU is 1-4, with only win in OT over Akron; Panthers are 15-12 vs spread at home with Cristobal as HC- they've got 17 starters back from LY. FIU lost 48-20 to UL-Lafayette LW, so both teams on downer. Only team Panthers held under 411 yards was Louisville, probably best team they've played.

                Arkansas St.-FIU: Nine things bettors should know
                ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                Arkansas State vs. Florida International (+1, 57)
                7:30 p.m. ET
                on ESPNU

                1. This line opened with Florida International as a 1.5-point favorite and had moved 2.5 points as of Wednesday night to where FIU was a 1-point underdog.

                2. True freshman E.J. Hilliard will make his first college start and second appearance for FIU. FIU lost starting quarterback Jake Medlock to a broken foot last week.

                3. Florida International starting running back Kedrick Rhodes is 'day to day' due to an ankle injury. He looked tentative when forced into duties last week against Lousiana-Lafayette due to an unspecified injury to No. 2 tailback Darian Mallary. The Panthers are hopeful Mallary can return but his status is unclear.

                4. Fortunately for FIU, Arkansas State specializes in rushing (ranked 14th in the nation with 242 ypg) but not stopping it (ranked 113th with 224 ypg against). The Red Wolves rank 10th at stopping the pass though.

                5. "...The second goal is to put a game plan in that your guys can execute on a short period of time... You've got to be careful about doing too much." - ASU coach Gus Malzahn in his weekly press conference this week.

                6. Could be a simple game plan for Arkansas State - and for both schools on a short week. For whatever it's worth, the over/under is 7-13 in the 20 weekday college football games that had pointspreads this season.

                7. Neither of these teams have allowed fewer than 26 points against an FBS program in nine games combined this season and the over/under is 4-1 in FIU games.

                8. Consensus players are evenly split with 52 percent on ASU.

                9. The home team has won the last five meetings in this series straight up. The last four meetings have gone under the total.

                  USC at Utah: What bettors need to know
                  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  USC Trojans at Utah Utes (+13.5, 47.5)

                  THE STORY:
                  Southern California’s preseason billing took a big hit in mid-September and the No. 12 Trojans have the opportunity to take another step toward again becoming part of the national championship picture when they visit Utah on Thursday.

                  The Trojans suffered a 21-14 loss to Stanford on Sept. 15 after being hyped as perhaps the nation’s top team. USC can’t afford any further stumbles and will need to win an early November showdown with Oregon to regain its lofty status.

                  Utah was routed 37-7 by Arizona State in its last outing Sept. 22 and the Utes need to get star running back John White going. White has only 233 yards this season after setting a school record last year with 1,519.

                  Both teams are coming off byes and USC is visiting Salt Lake City for the first time since 1917. The last time these teams met, the Trojans took a 17-14 win at home after having a TD from a blocked field goal with no time remaining erased due to an excessive celebration penalty. Two hours after the game was final, the NCAA upheld the touchdown and changed the score to 23-14, causing chaos among sportsbooks who had USC favored by 8.5 points.

                  TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN.

                  LINE: USC opened as high as -14 in Las Vegas while some online markets opened the Trojans -13.

                  CONSENSUS: 62 percent of Consensus players are on USC Thursday night.

                  ABOUT USC (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12 South, 1-3 ATS): The Trojans defeated California 27-9 in their last outing in a contest in which the running game (296 yards) was more productive then senior quarterback Matt Barkley (192 yards). The Heisman Trophy candidate was intercepted twice and has been picked off five times to go with 1,005 yards and 12 touchdowns. Penn State transfer Silas Redd has rushed for a team-best 338 yards and four scores. Sophomore receiver Marqise Lee already has 40 receptions for 457 yards. Junior defensive end Morgan Breslin leads the Pac-12 with 5.5 sacks while sophomore linebacker Dion Bailey leads the Trojans in tackles (32) and interceptions (three). USC has recorded 16 sacks and eight interceptions.

                  ABOUT UTAH (2-2, 0-1, 1-3 ATS): The Utes have struggled offensively since losing quarterback Jordan Wynn to a career-ending shoulder injury. Senior Jon Hays passed for only 117 yards in the loss to Arizona State and White had only 18 yards on 14 carries. The bye week has given White time to physically recover from an ankle injury that caused him to miss a game against Brigham Young. Utah expects to have junior defensive end Joe Kruger (2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles) and sophomore safety Eric Rowe back from injuries as the defense looks to bounce back after allowing 512 yards against Arizona State.

                  TRENDS:

                  * Trojans are 5-1 ATS in their last six conference games.
                  * Utes are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 conference games.
                  * Under is 6-2 in Utes last eight home games.
                  * Under is 4-1 in Trojans last five games overall.

                  EXTRA POINTS:

                  1. USC is 7-3 against Utah and won last year’s contest 23-14.

                  2. Utah is 6-1 after byes during Kyle Whittingham’s nine seasons as coach.

                  3. The Trojans have gone 185 games since last being shut out, one shy of the school-record streak set from 1967-1983.

                    College football Top 25 betting cheat sheet: Week 6

                    [B]If you're looking to get some action down but only have a few minutes to handicap, let our Top-25 cheat sheet help you out. We grabbed some quick-hitting betting info on each of the Top 25 matchups with odds available in Week 6 of the season:

                    Connecticut at (21) Rutgers (-7.5, 40.5)

                    Rutgers was the only team in the nation to win three road games in September. Now the No. 21 Scarlet Knights come home after a week off for four of the next five contests. Rutgers leads the nation in rushing yards against (62.5) and boasts RB Jawan Jamison, who is averaging 122.8 yards per game and can tie Ray Rice for the school record of five straight 100-yard games to start a season. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings between the schools.

                    (22) Northwestern at Penn State (-2.5, 48)

                    Northwestern will try for its first 6-0 start since 1962 when it visits Penn State on Saturday. The No. 22 Wildcats, who are 5-0 for the third time in five years, are coming off a school-record 704 yards of offense in their 44-29 victory over Indiana last week. Penn State has outscored its opponents 49-0 in the first quarter and 76-9 in the first half. The Nittany Lions have been outscored 59-47 after intermission.

                    Kansas at (8) Kansas State (-24, 52.5)

                    Kansas is 2-23 in conference play, has lost 17 straight road and neutral site games dating to September 2009 since the 2009 season. Kansas State is riding high two weeks after earning a signature victory over then-No. 6 Oklahoma – its highest-ranked road win to date. Senior QB Collin Klein is 15-4 (9-3 Big 12) as a starter. He has passed for five touchdowns and rushed for five more while completing 70 percent of his passes. The favorite is 14-3 ATS in their last 17 meetings.

                    (25) Boise State at Southern Mississippi (10, 47)

                    Boise State nearly blew a 25-point lead last week, holding on for a 32-29 victory over New Mexico. The Broncos offense has accounted for only seven plays of 25 yards or more in their first four contests. The Golden Eagles have struggled mightily on offense, scoring only 17 points per game in losing their first four contests by an average of 17 points. The under is 4-0 in Southern Mississippi’s last four home games.

                    (19) Mississippi State at Kentucky (46, 10)

                    Quarterback Tyler Russell and the Bulldogs’ spread offense average 36 points per game, good for 35th in the nation, and will likely rely heavily on their rushing attack as they look to earn a fourth straight win over Kentucky. The Wildcats offensive' game plan is more clouded as starting quarterback Maxwell Smith is sidelined indefinitely with a torn ligament in his left ankle—an injury suffered in Kentucky’s 38-17 loss to South Carolina last week. The road team is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.

                    Arizona at (18) Stanford (-9, 54.5)

                    The Cardinal, who fell from No. 9 to No. 18 in the USA Today poll, have won 16 of their last 17 home games, and have followed their last six losses with victories dating to 2009. The Wildcats' have the No. 9 passing attack in the nation at 343.8 yards per game. Fifth-year senior QB Matt Scott leads the Pac-12 with 1,608 yards and has completed 64.1 percent of his passes with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions. Stanford has won eight straight games in October.

                    Georgia Tech at (15) Clemson (-10.5, 75)

                    The Yellow Jackets have allowed 1,119 yards and 91 points in their last two games. The Tigers, bouncing back from a second-half collapse against Florida State, pulled away from Boston College for a 45-31 win last week. All-American receiver Sammy Watkins, who missed the game with an abdominal virus, is expected to return. Watkins has already missed three games this season. He didn't play in the first two after being suspended for an offseason drug arrest. The underdog is 14-4 ATS in their last 18 meetings.

                    (3) LSU at (11) Florida (2.5, 42.5)

                    The Tigers are giving up 12.6 points per game, the Gators 12.8. LSU’s defense has 41 tackles for loss, including 11 sacks. The Gators’ stout defense could get a lift from the return of outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins, who had a pin removed from his fractured right thumb. Florida has not allowed a point in the fourth quarter and has outscored opponents 64-13 after halftime. The Tigers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings.

                    Iowa State at (13) TCU (-10, 43.5)

                    The Horned Frogs have allowed only three TDs and 29 points in their first four games while the Cyclones had a streak of 157 minutes, 40 seconds without allowing a touchdown come to an end late in the first half of last week's 24-13 loss to Texas Tech. The under is 4-0 in the Horned Frogs’ last four games overall and Iowa State has played under the total in six of their last seven conference games.

                    (14) Oklahoma State at (24) Texas Tech (5.5, 57.5)

                    The Sooners’ suddenly erratic offense faces a surprising Red Raiders’ defense ranked first in the nation in five categories, including passing yards and total yards allowed. Texas Tech is first in the country, allowing only 167.5 yards per game and a measly 3.1 yards per play. The home team is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.

                    Washington State at (17) Oregon State (-15.5, 58.5)

                    Oregon State, led by sophomore QB Sean Mannion, has the No. 4 passing offense in the nation and owns three quality victories - a pair of Pac-12 games on the road and against Wisconsin. The last two games in which Oregon State scored 40 or more points both came against Washington State, including a 44-21 victory last season in Seattle when Mannion threw four touchdown passes. The Cougars are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 meetings.

                    (7) West Virginia at (9) Texas (-7, 75)

                    West Virginia QB Geno Smith put himself in the Heisman driver’s seat by passing for 656 yards and eight touchdowns against Baylor last week. Smith is off to one of the best starts in NCAA history, passing for 1,748 yards and 20 touchdowns with no interceptions. The senior leads the nation in passing efficiency at 208.4 and has completed an astounding 83 percent of his passes. The over is 4-0 in West Virginia’s last four October games.

                    Miami (Ohio) at (23) Cincinnati (-18.5, 59)

                    The Bearcats and RedHawks have the fifth-longest rivalry in the nation going as Saturday marks the 117th meeting. Cincinnati has dominated in recent years, winning six straight by an average margin of more than 28 points. The Bearcats have won the last two meetings by a combined 72-3, including 27-0 last year. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings.

                    (5) Georgia at (6) South Carolina (0, 54)

                    Georgia will try to thwart the four-man rush of South Carolina, which leads the SEC with 22 sacks - six more than second-place Texas A&M. Bulldogs junior QB Aaron Murray has collected 12 touchdowns against three interceptions, but he'll be without top target Michael Bennett. The team's leading receiver suffered an ACL injury during Tuesday's practice and will be sidelined for the season. The under is 13-2 in their last 15 meetings.

                    Miami at (10) Notre Dame (-12.5, 51.5)

                    The Fighting Irish had a bye week to soak up the fact they're off to their best start since 2002. They held their second straight ranked opponent out of the end zone in a 13-6 victory over then-No. 17 Michigan last game, seven days after a dominating 20-3 road victory over then-No. 10 Michigan State. The Notre Dame defense has taken a big step forward this season, ranking ninth in the nation in sacks (3.5 per game) and pass efficiency defense (96.79). With eight INTs, the Irish defense has already matched its season total from 2011. The under is 6-1 in Notre Dame’s last seven games overall.

                    (20) Nebraska at Ohio State (-3, 57.5)

                    The 20th-ranked Cornhuskers own the nation’s fifth-best rushing attack at 305 yards per game and average 6.4 yards per carry. Ohio State senior RB Jordan Hall is doubtful after suffering a knee injury against the Spartans. Carlos Hyde, who missed two games earlier this season with a knee injury, will be counted on to pick up the slack. The Cornhuskers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four road games.

                    (4) FSU at North Carolina State (14.5, 56)

                    Florida State's stop unit could get tested Saturday as North Carolina State gained a school-record 674 yards in last week's 44-37 loss at Miami. The Seminoles are averaging 51.0 points per game while allowing only 11.4, which ranks seventh nationally in the FBS. Florida State is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 meetings with North Carolina State.

                    Washington at (2) Oregon (-24, 65.5)

                    Oregon seeks its ninth consecutive victory over visiting Washington when the two Pac-12 squads meet on Saturday. The No. 2 Ducks have won each of the previous eight meetings by 17 or more points while establishing themselves as the power school of the Pacific Northwest. Oregon has also won 27 of its last 28 home games and is averaging 52.4 points and 550.6 yards per game this season. The Huskies are 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight meetings.

                      Week 6

                      Friday's games

                      Pitt-Syracuse are both heading to ACC next year; Panthers won seven in a row against Orange (5-2 vs spread), but its hard to tell lot about them, since two of their four games are vs I-AA teams- they split vs Cincinnati and Va Tech. Since 2006, Panthers are 9-4 as road favorites. Syracuse is 0-3 vs I-A teams, with only win a shaky 28-17 decision vs Stony Brook; Orangemen are 4-14-1 vs spread in last 19 games as home dog, 4-6-1 in Marrone era. Nationwide, conference home dogs are 14-15 against the spread. Both teams have experienced senior quarterbacks.

                      BYU won 11 of last 12 games vs Utah State but Aggies covered last four series games. Cougars are playing third straight weeknight game- they're 3-2, with losses by combined total of 4 points. BYU is 9-4 in its last 13 games as a home favorite, 2-0 this year. Utah State is 4-1 with only loss 16-14 at Wisconsin, so they're much improved- they outgained Badgers by 74 yards. Aggies are 12-2 as road underdogs under Andersen. BYU's losses are to Boise State (7-6), Utah (24-21); they haven't beaten a good team yet. WAC underdogs are 7-5 vs spread in non-conference games.

                        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        What bettors need to know: Pittsburgh at Syracuse
                        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        Pittsburgh at Syracuse (+1.5, O/U 58.5)

                        Open dates can have opposite effects: They can provide a break for a struggling or banged-up team, or they can slow momentum. Pittsburgh hopes the latter isn’t the case - and if history is any indication, it shouldn’t be - Friday when the Panthers head to Syracuse seeking an eighth straight victory over the Orange. The Panthers, led by first-year coach Paul Chryst, are on a roll, having set a school record with 1,163 yards in two wins leading up to their break. Syracuse, meanwhile, is a team that needed a week off to straighten out some issues after its worst performance of the season. In the most recent meeting, Pittsburgh forced six turnovers in a 33-20 win over the Orange at Heinz Field last season. This will likely be the final Big East meeting for the schools, who are both headed to the ACC in 2013.

                        TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Syracuse -1.5, O/U 58.5. This line saw some big movement due to sharp action from where it opened at Pitt -3. The total has also moved from where it opened at 56. Bettors clearly aren't convinced by the fact Pitt is coming off a pair of convincing wins while Cuse is just 1-8 against the spread in its last nine games going back to last season.

                        ABOUT PITTSBURGH (2-2, 0-1 Big East): The Panthers, who raised some eyebrows with a convincing upset over then-No. 13 Virginia Tech two weeks ago, are ranked 29th in total offense (486.8 yards per game). Senior quarterback Tino Sunseri (1,144 yards, eight touchdowns, two interceptions) passed for 344 yards and two touchdowns and the Panthers rolled up 626 yards in a 55-10 rout of FCS foe Gardner-Webb prior to their week off. Sunseri shares a backfield with talented senior running back Ray Graham (90.5 yards per game) and also throws to two of the best receivers in the conference in Mike Shanahan (21 catches, 368 yards, three touchdowns) and Devin Street (18 catches, 273 yards, two touchdowns). Defensively, the Panthers are ranked 27th in the nation (324.0 yards per game), but are allowing opponents to convert more than 47 percent of third downs (99th out of 120 teams).

                        ABOUT SYRACUSE (1-3, 0-0): The Orange stumbled into its week off after committing four turnovers in a 17-10 loss to Minnesota - their eight loss in nine games. Syracuse’s normally potent offense was held to 350 yards, more than 100 below its season average. Senior Ryan Nassib, who is sixth in the nation in passing (341.8 yards per game), threw for 228 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Syracuse's struggles have stemmed from the fact that it has been careless with the ball, turning it over 10 times in four games. The Orange is also one of the most penalized teams in the nation (8.75 per game -114th).

                        TOP BETTING TRENDS:

                        Panthers are 8-1-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record
                        Orange are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall
                        Under is 4-0 in Panthers last 4 road games
                        Under is 8-1 in Orange last 9 games following a bye week

                        EXTRA POINTS

                        1. Sunseri has averaged 16.9 yards per completion over the last two games with a 69.5 completion percentage (37-of-54) in that span.
                        2. Syracuse has lost eight straight to FBS opponents. The Orange’s last win came against West Virginia last October.
                        3. Pittsburgh leads the all-time series, which began in 1916, 34-30-3.

                          Week 6

                          Saturday's games
                          Top games

                          Georgia Tech won seven of last nine games vs Clemson in series where dog is 11-4 vs spread, but 0-3 in last three played here; Tech is 4-3 in last seven visits to Death Valley- they scored 30+ points in three of last four meetings, but Jackets got stung last week 49-28 by Middle Tennessee of Sun Belt, allowing 264 rushing yards. In last two games, Tech allowed 91 points, 1,119 TY. Clemson allowed 80 points in last two games, road tilts at Florida State/BC, they also gave up 27 to Ball State, but Tigers have firepower, scoring 36 ppg vs Auburn-FSU-BC, running ball for 320 on the Tigers. ACC home favorites are 3-4 against spread. Clemson is 11-8 as home under Swinney; Tech is 7-4-1 as road dog under Johnson.

                          Penn State won nine of last 11 games vs Northwestern, winning last five, covering last four; Wildcats covered just one of last five visits to Happy Valley, but they come in 5-0 this year, having run ball for 687 yards in last two games vs I-A opponents (BC/Indiana). Penn State won last three games by combined score of 93-27, after an 0-2 start; they’re 6-14 in last 20 games as home favorite, 2-1 this year. Lions have outscored opponents 76-9 in first half of games this season. Northwestern covered 10 of last 13 tries as a road dog; they won only road game this year 42-41 (-1) at Syracuse. Big Dozen home favorites are 2-3 early in season.

                          Missouri is having rough first season in SEC, losing first two league games by 21 points each; they had five players involved in minor drug issue this week- they won’t play here, vs Vanderbilt squad that has been off for two weeks since getting bamboozled 48-3 at Georgia. Vandy is 0-3 vs I-A foes, scoring total of only 29 points. Mizzou has beaten Arizona State (24-20), UCF (21-16) but outgained ASU by only 22 yards and was outgained by 49 yards last week in Orlando. Tigers are 6-4 in last ten games as home favorites. Commodores are 2-7 as road underdogs since underrated Bobby Johnson quit Vandy before the ’10 season. SEC home favorites are 5-4 vs spread so far this season.

                          Virginia Tech won four of last five games vs North Carolina, but only one of five games was decided by more than 7 points, with dogs 4-1 vs spread; Hokies won last two visits here, 26-10 (-3), 21-17 (+3.5). Tar Heels are 6-3 in last nine tries as home favorites, 2-0 this year- they’ve played well in last 10 halves, crushing ECU/Idaho last two weeks, after being down 36-7 at half in Louisville and almost pulling that game out. In its two losses, UNC allowed 640 passing yards. Inexperienced Hokies (lost 8 starters on offense) lost both their road games so far, 35-17 at Pitt, 27-24 to Cincinnati at Redskins’ Stadium in Maryland-- this is first time since ’10 opener that they’re a regular season dog. Tech is 6-4 in last 10 tries as an underdog.

                          South Carolina beat Georgia last two years (17-6/45-42), after losing nine of previous 12 meetings in this rivalry; Dawgs won five of last seven visits here, with favorites 4-2-1 vs spread and average total, 24.1. Dawgs covered just one of last six games as an underdog, but they’ve been an offensive machine in ’12, scoring 48.2 ppg in 5-0 start, gaining average of 613.3 ypg in last three games. Georgia was tied at half vs Tennessee, down 1 at Mizzou, but outscored those teams 43-24 in second half. Gamecocks won last four games by 21+ points after struggling in opener at Vandy (17-13); they’re 10-6 in last 16 games as home fave (3-0 in ’12). SC plays at LSU/at Florida next two weeks, so brutal schedule for them.

                          Texas gave up 581 yards in wild 41-36 win in Stillwater last week, a great win for them, but now they host West Virginia squad that gained 808 yards LW against Baylor. QB Smith was 45-51/656 passing- they’ve had 338+ passing yards in all four games this year. Last week might’ve been more of an indictment of Baylor’s joke of a defense, but 45-51 is good on an empty field. I’m now considering New Mexico’s 206 rushing yards vs Texas a red flag for the Longhorns’ defense- they play Oklahoma at Texas State Fair next week; quite a 3-week stretch for them. Over last 10+ years, West Virginia is 13-5 vs spread as a road underdog, Texas is 7-11 in its last 18 games as home favorites. Also needs to be noted that Marshall passed for 413 yards vs WVU and Baylor 582, as Holgorson turns his games into Arena Football-like action.

                          UCLA is off to 4-1 start under Mora, with wins at Rice (49-24), Colorado (42-14), now they visit Cal’s refurbished stadium where they’ve lost last six visits, with only one of six losses by less than 8 points, but Golden Bears are struggling at 0-4 vs I-A opponents, scoring total of 26 points in last two games. Coach Tedford’s seat is getting hotter (does anyone remember how bad Cal was before he took over?) thanks to home losses vs Nevada/Arizona State; how is someone who coached Aaron Rodgers unable to land better QB recruits? UCLA had 211+ rushing yards in all four wins; Oregon State held them to 72 in their only loss. Over last 4+ years, Bruins are 4-0 as road favorites; since ’05, Cal is 1-6 as a home underdog. Pac-12 home dogs are 4-3 vs spread this season.

                          Michigan won seven of last nine games vs Purdue, winning three of last five visits here, with four of those five games decided by 6 or less points; favorites are 7-5 vs spread in last 12 series games. 2-2 Wolverines are completing just 54.5% of passes this year; they’ve had two weeks to work since turning ball over six times in 13-6 loss at Notre Dame- they lost other road trip this year, 41-14 to #1 Alabama in Dallas. Purdue scored 54-51 points vs stiffs last two games; they lost 20-17 game at Notre Dame, holding Irish to 52 rushing yards, but losing when better passing QB Rees came off bench late to lead winning drive. Wolverines don’t have anyone who passes like Rees. Since 2007, Michigan is just 2-8-1 vs spread as road favorites. Boilermakers are 5-3-1 as home underdogs under Hope.

                          Stanford won four of last five games vs Arizona, winning 37-10/42-17 last two years, when Luck was on their side; Luck is in Indy now and Cardinal has struggled on offense, scoring 20-21-13 points in three of their four games (also hammered Duke 50-13)- they’ve completed exactly 50% of passes (51-102) over last three games, which ain’t good. Arizona gave up 38-49-38 points in last three games vs I-A opponents, losing tough 38-35 home games with Oregon State last week; Wildcats are scoring 39 ppg at home, but got waxed 49-0 in their only road game, at Oregon, when they had ball in Ducks’ red zone times but never scored. Since ’08, Stanford is 15-8 as home favorites; since ’09, Arizona is 4-7-1 as road underdogs. Favorites covered last three series games overall, and four of last six played here.

                          Home side won last five Wake Forest-Maryland games; Deacons lost five of last six visits here, losing 62-14/26-0 in last two tries. Wake was once an automatic play as a road dog, but they’re 5-13 vs spread last 18 times they got points on road, losing 52-0 (+27) at Florida State in only road game this year. Deacons gave up 37-34 points in last two games, to Army/Duke, so their defense isn’t good- they had 362 passing yards in UNC upset, but have total of 534 in three games since. Hard to tell about Maryland yet; holding West Va to 31 points looks good, but they almost lost to Wm & Mary (7-6) and lost 24-21 at home to UConn, Edsall’s old team. Since 2004, Terrapins are 8-17 vs spread as home favorites (2-3 under Edsall). Underdogs are 4-3 vs spread in last seven series games.

                          Notre Dame is 5-0 and NBC is excited; Irish allowed 26 points in winning last three games vs Big Dozen teams, but this will be stiffer test, on neutral (Chicago, so cooler weather will be foreign to some Miami kids) field vs an explosive offense. Miami can score, but they have an awful defense, allowing 39.3 ppg vs I-A foes-- they’re 4-1, somehow winning at Georgia Tech, in game they led 19-0 before allowing 36 unanswered points to team that struggles throwing the ball. Hurricanes are 5-2 as road dogs under Golden (he’s a very good coach, he won at Temple!!!) but their run defense is putrid, allowing 258 rushing yards/game over last four games—even I-AA Bethune-Cookman had 233. Notre Dame is 8-7-2 vs spread as a favorite under Kelly. With Notre Dame joining in the ACC, guess this replaces Michigan as a big rivalry game for the Irish. Notre Dame (+2.5) beat Miami 33-17 in a bowl game two years ago, in last series meeting.

                          Counting its bowl game LY, Nebraska has allowed 111 points in losing its last three road games, including 36-30 (-5) at UCLA last month, when Bruins had 344 rushing yards despite starting five freshmen on offense; over last decade, Cornhuskers are 6-13 vs spread when getting points on foreign soil. Ohio State outrushed Nebraska 243-232 in Lincoln LY, but left 34-27 losers, mainly because they completed only 6-18 passes; Buckeyes are 5-0 in first year under Meyer, but underdog covered their last four games. OSU is 3-7 as home favorites since they made Tressel hang up his sweater vest. OSU allowed 532 yards to Cal, then 403 to UAB, but went to East Lansing and won tense 17-16 game, holding Spartans to 303TY. Big Dozen home favorites are 3-2 vs spread early in this season.

                          LSU is 5-0, but they can’t be happy with last two games, a 12-10 (-20) win at a desperate Auburn squad, then sluggish 36-22 win over I-AA Towson State (was 17-9 at half); this is huge game for transfer QB Mettenberger to establish himself- he’s completed 65.8% of passes, but was just 15-27/169 at Auburn. Until he does better, foes will stack defense against LSU running game, which averaged 4.7 ypa in first three games, but was down to 4.1/4.5 last two weeks. Tigers beat Florida last two years, 33-29/41-11, making them 5-3 in last eight series games; Bayou Bengals outgained Florida 453-213 LY. LSU covered five of last six tries as a road favorite. Over last decade, Florida is 0-3 as an underdog in the Swamp. Gators have had very strong second halves in their two toughest games, wins at Texas A&M/Tennessee.

                            LSU at Florida: What bettors need to know
                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            LSU at Florida (2.5, 42)

                            When No. 11 Florida hosts No. 3 LSU on Saturday – the ninth straight time both teams are ranked entering the game – points will be at a premium. The Tigers are giving up 12.6 points per game, the Gators 12.8. Florida was off last week while LSU turned in an uninspiring performance, beating FCS foe Towson 38-22 at home. Florida leads the all-time series 30-25-3, but LSU has won the last two meetings, including 41-11 in Baton Rouge last year. This game features first-year starting quarterbacks in Florida's Jeff Driskel and LSU's Zach Mettenberger. Driskel has been far more efficient thus far.

                            TV: 3:30 p.m., ET, CBS.

                            LINE: LSU -2.5, O/U 42)

                            WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the mid-80s with a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms. Winds will be light out of the north.

                            ABOUT LSU (5-0, 1-0 SEC West): The Tigers fumbled five times, losing three, in the win over Towson. They shockingly gave up 188 rushing yards to an FCS school and allowed the junior Mettenberger to be sacked four times. Coaches have been shuffling the offensive line ever since left tackle Chris Faulk went down with a knee injury after the first game. Wide receiver Odell Beckham was a bright spot Saturday, catching five balls for 128 yards and two touchdowns. LSU’s defense continues to get great penetration. The unit has 41 tackles for loss, including 11 sacks. Defensive end Sam Montgomery has 6.5 tackles for loss, while defensive tackle Anthony Johnson and linebacker Kevin Minter have 5.5 apiece.

                            ABOUT FLORIDA (4-0, 3-0 SEC East): Senior running back Mike Gillislee has run for 402 yards and five touchdowns, both second-best in the SEC. The sophomore Driskel has thrown for four touchdowns and run for another while throwing one interception, posting a 158.0 rating. The already stout defense could get a lift from the return of outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins, who had a pin removed from his fractured right thumb. Florida has not allowed a point in the fourth quarter and has outscored opponents 64-13 after halftime. The Gators are allowing 4.82 yards per pass attempt, which ranks fifth nationally.

                            TRENDS:

                            * Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
                            * Tigers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven meetings.
                            * Road team is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings.
                            * Gators are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

                            EXTRA POINTS

                            1. Since 1990, the Gators are 24-10 at home against SEC West teams.

                            2. LSU won 33-29 in its last visit to The Swamp when the Tigers pulled off a fake field goal in the fourth quarter to extend the game-winning drive.

                            3. The Gators have gone 1-7 in October the past two seasons, seeing hot starts fade when the schedule gets tougher.

                              West Virginia at Texas: What bettors need to know
                              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              West Virginia at Texas (-7, 73.5)

                              West Virginia put up historic numbers in its Big 12 opener last weekend - both offensively and defensively. The seventh-ranked Mountaineers will face a slightly stiffer defensive challenge this week when they travel to No. 9 Texas on Saturday night. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith put himself in the Heisman driver’s seat by passing for 656 yards and eight touchdowns against Baylor last week, but needed every score in the 70-63 victory. Longhorns quarterback David Ash has been nearly as impressive as Smith and was in a similar spot during a 41-36 win over Oklahoma State last week. Both defenses are sure to be tested again Saturday, and both have had a tendency to give up big plays. The Mountaineers can point a finger at the secondary while Texas has struggled with missed tackles.

                              TV: 7 p.m. ET, FOX.

                              LINE: Texas -7, O/U 73.5.

                              WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the low-70s with a 20 percent chance of rain. Winds will be out of the north at 13 mph.

                              ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA (4-0, 1-0 Big 12): Smith is off to one of the best starts in NCAA history, passing for 1,748 yards and 20 touchdowns with no interceptions. The senior leads the nation in passing efficiency at 208.4 and has completed an astounding 83 percent of his passes in coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense. But while the Mountaineers lead the nation in passing yards and rank third in scoring offense, they are 96th in points against, surrendering an average of 32.5. Holgorsen was quick to praise his front seven at a Tuesday press conference while acknowledging that the secondary is young and inexperienced, which has led to some big plays and third-down conversions. The biggest assist to the defense has been Smith and the offense, which has turned the ball over only once in four games - tied for the best in the nation.

                              ABOUT TEXAS (4-0, 1-0): The Longhorns played an offense similar to West Virginia’s last week against Oklahoma State and barely escaped. The Big 12 issued an apology to the Cowboys on Wednesday, admitting to a botched call that led to Texas’ final touchdown. The ending and the defensive lapses did not overshadow the efforts of Ash, who has taken over control of the quarterback position and ranks second in the nation behind Smith in quarterback rating. The sophomore has completed more than 80 percent of his passes in the last two games and has thrown only one interception this season. Ash will be without running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) on Saturday, leaving Joe Bergeron a larger role in the backfield. The defense is a concern, as coach Mack Brown highlighted 12 missed tackles from the Oklahoma State game, with three of those leading to a pair of touchdowns and 109 total yards.

                              TRENDS:

                              * Longhorns are 4-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
                              * Over is 4-0 in Mountaineers’ last four October games.
                              * Over is 6-1 in Longhorns’ last seven games following an ATS win.
                              * Longhorns are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

                              EXTRA POINTS

                              1. Texas is 1-4 in its last five games against top-10 opponents.

                              2. The schools have met only once previously, with West Virginia capturing a 7-6 victory in Austin on Oct. 6, 1956.

                              3. The Longhorns have won 58 straight games when winning the turnover battle.
