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

Florida State Seminoles at Clemson Tigers (+3, 64)

The date marked on many calendars comes Saturday when No. 4 Clemson hosts No. 5 Florida State in an ACC showdown of undefeated rivals. The matchup has determined the division champion the past four years and this season's winner will remain a central figure in the national championship discussion. "It's the biggest game of the year, just like last week was the biggest game of the year," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney told reporters. "They're all big. Some have special circumstances attached to them like this one."

While both teams boast exciting offenses - and quarterbacks Tajh Boyd and Jameis Winston are among the national leaders in several passing categories - they also rank in the top 10 in the nation in scoring defense with Florida State (12 points per game) third and Clemson (16.2) 10th. The Seminoles haven't won at Clemson since 2001 and the home team has won 10 of the past 11 meetings. Florida State rallied in the second half for a 49-37 victory last year in Tallahassee.

TV: 8:22 p.m. ET, ABC.

LINE: Florida State opened at -2.5 and moved to -3, however, some Las Vegas books are dealing FSU -1. The total moved from 63.5 to 64.

WEATHER: Temperatures in the low 60s with partly cloudy skies and winds blowing west at 5 mph.

ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (5-0, 2-0 ACC, 4-1 ATS): Winston has been immune to typical freshman mistakes as he ranks second in the nation in passing efficiency and has thrown only two interceptions, helping the Seminoles lead the nation with just three giveaways. Florida State ranks fourth in the country in total offense (549 yards per game) and has racked up 400 or more total yards in 14 of its last 19 contests. The defense has been equally impressive and is coming off its best showing of the season in a 63-0 rout of Maryland two weeks ago, holding the Terrapins to 234 total yards.

ABOUT CLEMSON (6-0, 4-0, 3-3 ATS): With Boyd (1,783 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, two interceptions) back at the helm, the Tigers' offense has been everything it was expected to be. Boyd boasts the best career passing efficiency mark in ACC history and has a bevy of receiving options as 11 players have caught touchdown passes. The Tigers' defense has been a surprising strength, though, holding five straight opponents to 14 points or fewer and limiting Boston College star Andre Williams to 70 yards on 24 carries in a 24-14 victory last week.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Home team is 12-3 ATS in their last 15 meetings.
* Seminoles are 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings.
* Seminoles are 0-8 ATS in their last eight meetings in Clemson.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Boyd, already Clemson's career passing leader, needs 164 yards to become the third quarterback in ACC history to reach 10,000 (Philip Rivers 13,484; Thaddeus Lewis 10,065).

2. No visiting team starting a freshman quarterback has won at Clemson since Tyrod Taylor and Virginia Tech in 2007.

3. Clemson has won 11 straight ACC games by double digits dating to last year's loss at Florida State. The Seminoles have won nine straight conference games - seven of them by double digits.

Saturday's NCAAF Top 25 betting cheat sheet: Afternoon action

Check out our NCAAF Top 25 cheat sheet for Saturday's evening action

TCU Horned Frogs at Oklahoma State Cowboys (-7.5, 50.5)

TCU is coming off a sloppy performance against Kansas in which the team committed five turnovers in a 27-17 victory. In that game, Trevone Boykin rushed for a touchdown and threw for another – a 75-yard strike to David Porter – while the Frogs added 207 yards on the ground.

Well rested following its second bye in four weeks, Oklahoma State looks to push its home winning streak to seven games on Saturday against Texas Christian. The 17th-ranked Cowboys have not played since a 33-29 win over Kansas State on Oct. 5 – a game in which Oklahoma State rallied late in the fourth quarter.

LINE: The Cowboys opened as 7-point faves and are now -7.5. The total is currently 50.5.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-50s with clear skies. Wind will blow toward the E endzone at 8 mph.
TRENDS:

* Horned Frogs are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games following a bye week.
* Cowboys are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games.
* Over is 14-3 in Horned Frogs last 17 games following a bye week.

Georgia Bulldogs at Vanderbilt Commodores (+7, 62)

No. 16 Georgia will look to bounce back from a tough loss and stay in the hunt to reach the SEC Championship Game when it travels to Vanderbilt on Saturday. The Bulldogs are coming off a 41-25 loss to Missouri that dropped them a game behind the Tigers in the SEC East, but know they still have a shot to reach their third consecutive conference title game if they win out.

Vanderbilt is coming out of its bye week after being outscored 125-88 in its three SEC games. Things likely won't get any better with Georgia in town, as the Bulldogs have won 10 in a row at Vanderbilt Stadium and 17 of the last 18 meetings overall in the series.

LINE: Georgia opened as a 9-point road fave and is now -7. The total opened 61 and is up to 62.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the high-50s with partly cloudy skies.
TRENDS:

* Bulldogs are 0-6 ATS in their last six games following a double-digit loss at home.
* Commodores are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 home games.
* Over is 8-0 in Bulldogs last eight games overall.

Texas Tech Red Raiders at West Virginia Mountaineers (+5.5, 57)

Tech QB Baker Mayfield, who has 1,488 passing yards and eight touchdowns in five starts, missed the Iowa State game after injuring his knee against Kansas. Davis Webb (965 yards, nine TDs) has appeared in five contests and sophomore Michael Brewer is healthy after missing a month with a back injury.

WVU QB Paul Millard replaced Clint Trickett during a 73-42 loss to Baylor on Oct. 5, when the Mountaineers allowed eight rushing touchdowns and a conference-record 864 total yards. Head coach Dana Holgorsen hopes his familiarity with Kliff Kingsbury and the Texas Tech offense will help the Mountaineer defense - ranked ninth in the Big 12 in points and yards allowed - this week.

LINE: WVU opened as an 8-point home dog and is now +5.5. The total is currently 57.
WEATHER: There is a 40 percent chance of rain in the forecast for Morgantown.
TRENDS:

* Red Raiders are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a ATS loss.
* Under is 8-1 in Mountaineers last nine games overall.
* Mountaineers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a bye week.

South Carolina Gamecocks at Tennessee Volunteers (+7, 54.5)

The Gamecocks dominated the Arkansas Razorbacks in every facet of the game, including time of possession (43:25-16:35) and first downs (32-7) in a 52-7 rout last week. South Carolina’s offense is averaging 486.5 yards, good for 23rd in FBS and easily on pace to break the school record of 428.8 set in 1995.

Rajion Neal has been the focal point of the Volunteers’ offense over the last two games, running for 169 yards and a score in a Sept. 28 win over South Alabama before adding 148 and two touchdowns against Georgia.

LINE: The Gamecocks opened 7-point road faves. The total opened at 54.5.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the high-50s with wind blowing across the field at 8 mph.
TRENDS:

* Road team is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 meetings.
* Gamecocks are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Over is 8-0 in Gamecocks last eight conference games.

Florida Gators at Missouri Tigers (+3, 44)

Gators Running back Matt Jones is the latest to go down after suffering a season-ending knee injury against LSU and will take his place on the sideline next to quarterback Jeff Driskel, who went down for the season on Sept. 21. Tyler Murphy took over for Driskel and was solid in his first two starts before struggling to 15-for-27 for 115 yards last week.

Missouri shocked the Georgia Bulldogs last week defensively, forcing four turnovers, and needs one more interception to double its total from last season (seven). QB Maty Mauk - who will start after James Franklin picked up an injury last week - was an All-American in high school and also starred in track and field, which should allow the Tigers to keep the running packages that made Franklin dangerous in place.

LINE: The Gators opened as 3-point road faves. The total opened at 44.
WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for a 33 percent chance of rain.
TRENDS:

* Gators are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following a S.U. loss.
* Tigers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
* Over is 7-2 in Tigers last nine games overall.

Northern Illinois Huskies at Central Michigan Chippewas (+15, 59)

Northern Illinois goes after its 20th consecutive Mid-American Conference victory against the last program to hand it a league defeat when the No. 23 Huskies visit Central Michigan on Saturday. Huskies star quarterback Jordan Lynch became the 10th player in FBS history to run for more than 3,000 yards and pass for more than 4,000 in his career in last Saturday’s victory over Akron.

The Chippewas hope for the return of star receiver Titus Davis (shoulder), who missed the last game and has recorded 29 catches for 518 yards this season while ranking third in school history with 20 receiving touchdowns. Redshirt freshman quarterback Cooper Rush (nine touchdowns, nine interceptions) is becoming more comfortable with the offense and running back Saylor Lavallii is coming off a career-best 184-yard rushing performance in a win over Ohio University.

LINE: The Chippewas opened as 17-point home dogs and are now +15. The total opened at 59.
WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for a 77 percent possibility of showers.
TRENDS:

* Huskies are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 conference games.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Central Michigan.
* Huskies are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five meetings in Central Michigan.

UCLA Bruins at Stanford Cardinal (-6, 53.5)

Unbeaten UCLA, ranked 10th nationally, has a chance to get itself into the national championship picture over the next two Saturdays but the visiting Bruins first must defeat No. 13 Stanford on Saturday. Sophomore quarterback Brett Hundley is thriving with 1,469 yards and 12 touchdowns and his 410-yard effort in last week’s victory over California was the third-highest output in school history behind Cade McNown (513 in 1998) and Drew Olson (510 in 2005).

Stanford defeated UCLA twice last season in a seven-day span – winning 35-17 at the Rose Bowl in the regular season before posting a 27-24 home win in the Pac-12 Championship Game. The loss to Utah last week marked the initial defeat in 11 career starts for quarterback Kevin Hogan, who has passed for 1,178 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.

LINE: Stanford opened -6.5 and is now -6. The total is 53.5, down from the opening number 54.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-70s with clear skies.
TRENDS:

* Bruins are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Over is 9-2 in Stanford's last 11 games following a S.U. loss.

Indiana Hoosiers at Michigan Wolverines (-8.5, 69)

The Hoosiers lost 42-28 to Michigan State last weekend, but the offense played well in defeat. The 28 points were the most scored against the Spartans in the last two seasons and Indiana’s 351 yards of total offense were much higher than the 203.8 yards Michigan State was allowing entering the game.

In the loss to Penn State, Michigan welcomed back linebacker Jake Ryan, who had been out since March with a torn ACL, but the Wolverines lost All-American tackle Taylor Lewan to a hip injury. Lewan is expected to play against Indiana, and that should benefit Michigan’s running backs, who combined for 27 yards on 27 carries against Penn State.

LINE: Michigan opened as a 10.5-point fave and is now -8.5. The total opened at 67 and is up to 69.
WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for a 54 percent chance of rain with wind blowing across the field at 10 mph.
TRENDS:

* Hoosiers are 1-4 ATS in their last five conference games.
* Over is 6-1 in Wolverines last seven home games.
* Over is 19-7 in Hoosiers last 26 road games.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Ohio State Buckeyes (-17.5, 55.5)

The Hawkeyes used their bye week to get healthy after a punishing 26-14 loss to the Spartans and expect to have both running back Mark Weisman and wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley ready to go after the two went down in the loss.

The Buckeyes are winners of 18 straight games since Urban Meyer took over, four shy of the school record, and do not have another currently ranked team on their remaining schedule. Ohio State is winning with offense in 2013 and can change the pace by inserting Kenny Guiton at quarterback if necessary.

LINE: The Buckeyes opened as 17-point faves are are now -17.5. The total opened at 55.5.
WEATHER: There is a 63 percent chance of rain in the forecast. Wind will blow across the field at 6 mph.
TRENDS:

* Favorite is 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
* Hawkeyes are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Ohio State.
* Buckeyes are 8-0-1 ATS in their last nine games following a S.U. win.

Oklahoma Sooners at Kansas Jayhawks (+23, 49)

The Sooners defense was exposed in a 36-20 loss to rival Texas, struggling to stop the run and allowing 13-of-20 third-down conversions. Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (back) is the second starter, along with linebacker Corey Nelson (pectoral), to have season-ending surgery this week.

Jayhawks coach Charlie Weis announced Tuesday he will change how the offensive coaching staff operates, hoping to spark an offense that's averaging 15.8 points in its last 11 conference games. Weis will oversee the offense and help coach skill positions but will get more input from quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus (passing game) and tight ends coach Jeff Blasko (running game) as he develops a game plan.

LINE: The Sooners opened as 24-point road faves and are now -23. The total opened at 49.
WEATHER: Wind will blow across the field at 12 mph. Temperatures will be in the low-60s.
TRENDS:

* Sooners are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings.
* Jayhawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games.
* Over is 8-3 in Jayhawks last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Auburn Tigers at Texas A&M Aggies (-13.5, 73)

The Tigers' return to relevance in the SEC West has hinged on a powerful run game that ranks seventh in the nation at 287 yards per game and totaled 511 yards on the ground last week. That outburst came without dual-threat quarterback Nick Marshall, who is expected to return from a knee injury and start Saturday.

QB Johnny Manziel and the Aggies continue to light up the scoreboard in Sumlin's up-tempo system, ranking third in the nation in total offense and fourth in scoring (47.8). The Aggies have scored 40 or more points in nine straight games - the longest active streak in the FBS - and they've topped 400 total yards in 18 straight contests.

LINE: The Aggies opened -12.5 and are now -13.5. The total opened at 72 and is up to 73.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the high-60s. Wind will blow toward the SE endzone at 11 mph.
TRENDS:

* Tigers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 conference games.
* Aggies are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games in October.
* Over is 5-1 in Aggies last six games overall.

Saturday's NCAAF Top 25 betting cheat sheet: Evening action

Washington Huskies at Arizona State Sun Devils (-3, 67)

Huskies RB Bishop Sankey (899 rushing yards, 10 total touchdowns) has rushed for 100 or more yards in nine of his last 11 games after scampering for 167 yards and two scores against Oregon. Senior quarterback Keith Price has passed for 1,576 yards and 12 touchdowns and needs 110 yards to pass Jake Locker (7,639 from 2007-10) for second place on the school’s all-time passing yardage list.

The Sun Devils defense has experienced numerous struggles while allowing 27.2 points per game and senior defensive tackle Will Sutton has just 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack this season after having 23.5 tackles for loss and 13 sacks in his monstrous 2012 campaign.

LINE: The Sun Devils opened as -3 faves. The total opened at 65.5 and has gone up to 67.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-80s with clear skies.
TRENDS:

* Favorite is 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings.
* Huskies are 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings in Arizona State.
* Sun Devils are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.

LSU Tigers at Mississippi Rebels (+10, 60)

The Tigers had eight defensive players selected in the 2013 NFL draft, but the young unit hasn't yielded a touchdown in six quarters. As the defense continues to gel, the Tigers - led by quarterback Zach Mettenberger (66.7 percent completion rate, 15 touchdowns, two interceptions) - are 15th in the nation in scoring at 41.4 points under offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.

The Rebels will be without several key players including linebacker Serderius Bryant (concussion) and his team-leading 55 tackles, and freshman Robert Nkemdiche (hamstring), who has started every game either at defensive end or defensive tackle. Running back Jeff Scott, a 5-7, 167-pound senior who leads the team with 434 yards, is questionable after leaving the Texas A&M game with a thigh bruise.

LINE: LSU opened -8 and is now -10. The total opened at 60.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-60s. Wind will blow across the field at 5 mph.
TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Mississippi.
* Tigers are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 meetings.
* Road team is 14-2 ATS in their last 16 meetings.

Iowa State Cyclones at Baylor Bears (-34, 76.5)

The Cyclones might be one of the best 1-4 teams in the country, but face an uphill battle against the high-powered Bears, who have won their first four home games by a combined score of 282-65. Cyclones Junior wide receiver Jarvis West, who caught three touchdown passes in last year’s win over the Bears, had 177 all-purpose yards against Texas Tech last week, including a 95-yard kickoff return for a score.

Baylor looks for its first 6-0 start since 1980. Quarterback Bryce Petty is the national leader in passing efficiency, while running back Lache Seastrunk leads the Big 12 in rushing with 648 yards and eight touchdowns. The Bears haven’t been held to less than 30 points since losing 35-21 to Iowa State last season in Ames.

LINE: Baylor opened as a 31.5-point home fave and is now -34. The total opened at 75.5 and is now 76.5.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-60s with clear skies.
TRENDS:

* Favorite is 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings.
* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Cyclones are 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings in Baylor.

Arkansas Razorbacks at Alabama Crimson Tide (-28, 48.5)

Arkansas dropped its fourth straight, tying for the longest losing streak of new coach Bret Bielema’s career, with last week’s 52-7 home loss to South Carolina. The Razorbacks are 0-3 in the SEC for the first time since 2007 as they prepare for their fourth consecutive ranked opponent. Making matters worse, they just lost senior defensive tackle Robert Thomas (31 tackles, 3.5 sacks) for the season to a broken leg.

Alabama last week won its 10th straight dating to last season, trampling Kentucky 48-7, and the defense is again playing at a championship level. The unit went 14 quarters without allowing a touchdown until the Wildcats scored and Alabama ranks second nationally in points allowed (11.3) and seventh in rushing defense (87.2 yards per game).

LINE: The Tide opened as 27.5-point home faves and are now -28. The total opened at 48.5.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-70s with clear skies.
TRENDS:

* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Alabama.
* Over is 9-1-1 in Razorbacks last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Florida State Seminoles at Clemson Tigers (+3, 64)

Seminoles QB Jameis Winston has been immune to typical freshman mistakes as he ranks second in the nation in passing efficiency and has thrown only two interceptions, helping the Seminoles lead the nation with just three giveaways. Florida State ranks fourth in the country in total offense (549 yards per game) and has racked up 400 or more total yards in 14 of its last 19 contests.

The Tigers' defense has been a surprising strength, though, holding five straight opponents to 14 points or fewer and limiting Boston College star Andre Williams to 70 yards on 24 carries in a 24-14 victory last week.

LINE: The Seminoles opened as 2.5-point road faves and are now -3. The total opened at 64.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-60s with a 21 percent chance of rain.
TRENDS:

* Seminoles are 0-8 ATS in their last eight meetings in Clemson.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Tigers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 conference games.

UNLV Rebels at Fresno State Bulldogs (-24.5, 74)

The Rebels deserve credit for turning their season around after opening with losses to Minnesota and Arizona, but their opponents during their win streak have a combined record of 8-18. In order to post their most impressive victory since beating Arizona State in 2008, the Rebels need a series of big plays from the trio of quarterback Caleb Herring, running back Tim Cornett and wide receiver Devante Davis, who is ranked second in the conference in receiving yards at 102.3 per game.

After struggling to establish their running game early on, the Bulldogs have featured a more balanced attack over the past two games, with Marteze Waller rushing for 157 yards and two touchdowns in a 61-14 win over Idaho on Oct. 5.

LINE: The Bulldogs opened as 21-point faves and are now -24.5. The total opened at 72 and is currently 74.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the mid-70s with sunny skies.
TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in Bulldogs last four conference games.
* Rebels are 10-39-4 ATS in their last 53 road games.
* Bulldogs are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win.

Washington State at Oregon Ducks (-38.5, 73)

In the 52-24 loss to Oregon State last week, the Cougars led 24-17 in the third quarter before the Beavers responded with 35 unanswered points. The Cougars will need QB Connor Halliday and top receiver Gabe Marks (46 receptions, 512 yards, four touchdowns) to step up their games as Washington State has the nation's worst rushing attack at 66.4 yards per game.

It would be natural for the Ducks to look ahead with games against No. 10 UCLA and No. 13 Stanford in the next two weeks, but their overpowering offense and opportunistic defense can trump any mental lapses that may occur. While much of the attention is devoted to Marcus Mariota and his unit (56.8 points per game, second in the nation), the defense is also second with a turnover margin of plus-11 and has allowed nine touchdowns - tied for fourth-fewest in the country.

LINE: The Ducks opened as 38.5-point faves. The total opened at 73.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the mid-50s with clear skies.
TRENDS:

* Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.
* Underdog is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
* Ducks are 10-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Where the action is: Saturday's NCAAF line moves

College football sprints past the halfway mark of the schedule in Week 8. Bettors have a good idea which programs are for real and which ones aren’t, keeping this Saturday’s odds on the move.

We talk to sportsbooks about the biggest adjustments to the NCAAF lines and where they could end up come kickoff Saturday.

UCLA Bruins at Stanford Cardinal – Open: -5.5, Move: -7, Move: -4.5

This line has been on a ride since post, climbing as high as Stanford at a touchdown before action bought back the Bruins as low as +4.5 at some markets.

“Tuesday got sharp bet on the favorite, so moved to -6. Then we took a sharp bet on underdog, so moved to current number of 5.5,” Mike Perry of Sportsbook.com tells Covers. “So far, 60 percent of the money is on the Cardinal.”

Texas Tech Red Raiders at West Virginia Mountaineers – Open: +8, Move: +5

This Big 12 battle has jumped from one dead number to the next at some books, coming down as many as three points with action on the home side.

According to Aron Black of Bet365.com, this line move has everything to do with the unsettled QB options for both TTU and WVU heading into Saturday. Red Raiders QB Baker Mayfield is questionable with a knee injury and Mountaineers QB Ford Childress is out with a torn pectoral muscle.

“The line going to WVU looks more to do with them having more QB options, with TTU QB Baker Mayfield questionable,” Black tells Covers. “Action has been fairly split, but early action liked WVU +7, and they’re now coming back with some TTU -5.5.”

Florida Gators at Missouri Tigers – Open: +3, Move: +3.5

This spread was made with Tigers QB James Franklin out of action, but wasn’t discounting Missouri too much after last week’s upset over Georgia. This isn’t the biggest move on the board but sharp money has been loud and clear about its choice in this SEC showdown.

“On Tuesday, we got a wiseguy bet on Gators, so moved to Florida -3.5,” says Perry. “Sixty-five percent of the cash is on the Gators.”

Navy Midshipmen at Toledo Rockets – Open: -6.5, Move: -10

The Middies limp into Week 8 with a long list of injuries, including QB Keenan Reynolds, who is dealing with an illness heading into Saturday. Money on the home team has moved this past a TD and to another key number of 10.

“Not the biggest game obviously but a full field-goal move is rather large,” says Black. “All down to injuries with Navy, with numerous questionables and doubtfuls on both sides of the ball for them. Action has been all on Toledo with the moves.”

Florida State Seminoles at Clemson Tigers – Open: +3.5, Move: +2.5

Some books have cut a full point off the line for this ACC war, with both the sharps and public pounding the Tigers at home. Perry says about 70 percent of the action is on Clemson heading into the weekend.

“Wiseguys seem to like the dog here,” he says. “Tuesday night, we got sharp play on the Tigers +3.5.”

LSU Tigers at Mississippi Rebels – Open: +7.5, Move: +10

This spread reached Ole Miss +10.5 before money showed up on the home team. The Rebels will likely be without RB Jeff Scott and numerous members of the defense while LSU is expected to start QB Zach Mettenberger, who is nursing a shin injury.

“LSU needs to run the table from here on out,” says Black. “Although they started as worthy favorites at Ole Miss, the injury news has been favorable for the Tigers and not so much for the Rebels, forcing the line to go much further to LSU than the opener. Action has been liking LSU since release at about a 3/1 clip.”

USC Trojans at Notre Dame Fighting Irish – Open: -3, Move: -3.5

It seems weird to have this yearly rivalry take place between two unranked programs. But even though USC and Notre Dame aren’t among the nation’s elite, action is still fast and furious on this game. According to Perry, both sharp and public money are siding with the Irish in South Bend.

“We got a sharp play on the Irish Wednesday, so moved to -3.5,” he says. “About 75 percent of the cash is backing Notre Dame.”

Georgia Bulldogs at Vanderbilt Commodores – Open: +9, Move: +7

A laundry list of injuries for UGA has taken this spread down as many as two points at some markets. Running back Todd Gurley headlines the Bulldog’s walking wounded, as does fellow RB Keith Marshall and numerous defensive players.

“Vandy is nothing special, but coming off a bye week will have given them good practice time and recovery for guys carrying slight injuries,” says Black. “A TD line may look like good value on the Dogs, but this is possibly a real banana skin for them. Action has been light, but most of what we have is sticking with Bulldogs to cover.”

La-Lafayette at Arkansas State

October 22, 2013

Matchup: Louisiana Lafayette at Arkansas State
Venue: Liberty Bank Stadium in Jonesboro, Arkansas (Grass)
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013
Time/TV: 8:00 p.m. ET - ESPN2
Line: Louisiana Lafayette -2 ½, Over/Under 67
Last Meeting: 2012, Arkansas State (+3) 50 at Louisiana Lafayette 27

For a second straight week, gamblers have a Sun Belt game with a side and total to wager on Tuesday night. Once again, Louisiana-Lafayette (4-2 straight up, 3-3 against the spread) is on the road to take on Arkansas State.

As of late Monday night, most betting shops had the Ragin’ Cajuns favored by 2 ½ with a total of 67 ½ or 68. The Red Wolves are +115 on the money line. For first half wagers, UL-Laf. is a one-half point favorite with a total of 34.

Mark Hudspeth’s team captured a 37-20 win at Western Kentucky last Tuesday. UL-Laf. improved to 16-4 ATS in its last 20 games as a road underdog. Trailing 10-0 with more than six remaining in the second quarter, the game turned when Al-Damion Riles made an interception for the Ragin’ Cajuns and took it back to the house 99 yards.

Then just before halftime, UL-L’s Alonzo Harris scored on a short TD run to put his team ahead, 13-10. QB Terrance Broadway would throw a TD pass and run for another score to put the Hilltoppers away.

For the season, Broadway is completing 63.6 percent of his passes for 1,243 yards with an 11/4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The athletic southpaw signal caller has also run for five TDs.

Arkansas St. (3-3 SU, 1-4-1 ATS) is in the midst of a 0-4-1 ATS slump in its last five games. The Red Wolves have lost all three of their road games, but they have won all three of their home outings while going 2-1 ATS.

Bryan Harsin’s squad bounced back from road defeats at Missouri and at Memphis to beat Idaho 48-24 on Oct. 12. But ASU failed to cover the number as 27-point home favorites against the Vandals.

Adam Kennedy threw for 375 yards and four TDs in his best game of the season. David Oku ran for 69 yards and one TD, while Julian Jones had 4 receptions for 135 yards and one TD. Darion Griswold had five catches for 89 yards and two TDs, while J.D. McKissic had nine receptions for 80 yards and one score.

Kennedy, the transfer from Utah St., has a 67.2 completion rate and 1,552 passing yards. Kennedy has a 7/3 TD-INT ratio. Oku hasn’t produced at his 2012 rate, rushing for 396 yards and 3.9 yards per carry. He does have five TDs on the ground.

Since 2005. Arkansas St. has struggled to a 2-5 spread record in its seven games as a home underdog. Meanwhile, UL-Laf. has compiled a 1-3 spread record in four games as a road favorite under Hudspeth.

The ‘over’ is 4-2 overall for UL-Laf., 2-2 in its four previous road assignments. Totals have been an overall wash for the Red Wolves, but they have seen the ‘over’ go 3-0 in their home games.

When these schools met last season, Arkansas St. cruised to a 50-27 win as a 3 ½-point road favorite. Oku ran for 83 yards and one TD for the winners, while the 77 combined points catapulted ‘over’ the 62 combined points.

Broadway threw three TD passes in the losing effort, but he was intercepted three times.

For the first since 1981-82, Arkansas St. has won back-to-back games in this rivalry. However, the Ragin’ Cajuns have taken the cash six of the last eight head-to-head encounters.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

--Vandy QB Austyn Carta-Samuels is ‘doubtful’ at Texas A&M after suffering a knee injury in Saturday’s win over Georgia. Carta-Samuels has completed 65.5 percent of his passes for 1,672 yards with a 10/7 TD-INT ratio. The senior, a transfer from Wyoming, also has five rushing TDs. Patton Robinette, a redshirt freshman, connected on 9-of-15 passes for 107 yards in helping orchestrate the 31-27 come-from-behind victory over the Bulldogs. Robinette had one rushing TD. He will most likely make his first career start against the Aggies.

--Boise St. senior QB Joe Southwick is out for at least the rest of the regular season after breaking his ankle in a non-covering win over Nevada.

--South Carolina senior QB Connor Shaw (knee) is ‘doubtful’ at Missouri, but ‘doubtful’ for most players means Shaw has a 50-50 chance so check his status later in the week.

--Alabama safety Vinnie Sunseri is out for the season after injuring his leg in a 52-0 home win over Arkansas. Landon Collins, a true sophomore and five-star recruit, will take Sunseri’s starting spot.

--Oregon St. QB Sean Mannion has a sensational 29/3 TD-INT ratio.

--Best ATS records: Houston (6-0), Missouri (6-0-1), Wisconsin (6-0-1), Oregon (6-1) and FAU (6-1).

--California remains the nation’s only school that has yet to cover the spread in 2012. The Bears are 0-7 ATS.

--UCLA’s leading rusher Jordon James has missed back-to-back games and is ‘questionable’ Saturday at Oregon. Most indications are that Ducks’ speedster De’Anthony Thomas will return against the Bruins after missing four straight games.

College football odds: Week 9 opening line report

The Florida State Seminoles are rolling.

The Seminoles (6-0 straight up, 5-1 against the spread) hammered the No. 3-ranked Clemson Tigers (6-1 SU, 3-4 ATS) by a score of 51-14 in South Carolina. This just one game removed from a 63-0 thumping of the Maryland Terrapins.

Redshirt-freshman quarterback Jameis Winston was sensational versus Clemson, going 22-for-34 for 444 yards and three touchdown passes and is currently in the process of making a serious claim for the Heisman Trophy.

Next up for State is a visit from North Carolina State (3-3 SU, 3-3 ATS) who bring an 0-3 conference record to Doak Campbell Stadium.

According to Peter Korner, founder of the Nevada-based odds service The Sports Club, he and his team of oddsmakers - who sent out the 'Noles as big faves - don't foresee the Seminole Express slowing down any time soon.

"Florida State is playing well and should have no problem with North Carolina State," Korner told Covers. "All of us were in and around Florida State -30 and that's just what we sent out. Garbage time will decide this one."

Texas Tech Red Raiders at Oklahoma Sooners (-10)

The Red Raiders (7-0 SU, 5-2 ATS) improved their unbeaten record Saturday with a 37-27 win over West Virginia. Behind the QB-pairing of Bakery Mayfield and Davis Webb, Tech has the nation's second-best aerial attack at 416.4 yards per game.

The Sooners (6-1 SU, 3-4 ATS) bounced back with a win over the lowly Kansas Jayhawks after their loss to Texas in the 2013 edition of the Red River Rivalry. The Sooners are led by a stingy defense that allows just 17.1 points per game - good enough for ninth in the country.

"We were scattered on this one," Korner says. "The range of numbers went from a low of -7.5 to a high of 13. I preferred the higher number but was talked down and we released Oklahoma -10. Offshores released lower but we think the money will be on the home team come kickoff."

South Carolina Gamecocks at Missouri Tigers (-1.5)

It was a banner week for the surging Missouri Tigers (7-0 SU, 6-0-1 ATS) as they - led by freshman QB Maty Mauk - dispatched the Florida Gators by a count of 36-17 and upped their SEC record to 3-0 on the season. If the Tigers get by the Gamecocks (5-2 SU, 2-5 ATS) in Week 9, they have a real chance of being undefeated when they host Texas A&M on Nov. 30 to conclude their regular season schedule.

The Gamecocks are coming off a tough 23-21 loss at the Tennessee Volunteers and are now 3-2 in the conference play. Starting QB Connor Shaw left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury and is now a doubt to play against Missouri.

"Two evenly matched teams and our numbers supported that," Korner stated. "We had a low of a Pick and a high of Missouri -4. We settled on sending out Missouri -1.5 which is nothing more than a little less than home field advantage. South Carolina can certainly take his one straight up so we didn't want to be too generous."

Stanford Cardinal at Oregon State (+7)

Another team with a great bounce back week was Stanford. The Cardinal (6-1 SU, 3-4 ATS) took one on the chin from Utah back on Oct. 12, but dusted the dirt off with a 24-10 win over previously unbeaten UCLA. RB Tyler Gaffney was excellent against the Bruins, carrying the ball a whopping 36 times for 171 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Another Pac 12 foe awaits as the Cardinal will travel up the Pacific coast to face Oregon State. The Beavers (6-1 SU, 4-3 ATS) own the top passing attack in the country with 442.1 yards per game. They thumped Cal 49-17 to extend their winning streak to six games and are 4-0 in conference play.

"Oregon State knows how to put up points and we're very aware of that but Stanford is the better team for sure," Korner explained. "We had a low of Stanford -4 and a high of -9 and we sent out -7 knowing in a later game, the money seems to find all of the favorites. The offshore number was a bit lower but that's not good booking at this point. No need to be cheap on the favorites."

College football line watch: Keep tabs on Baylor total

Spread to bet now

Utah Utes (+7) @ USC Trojans

The season is not progressing quite as planned for either of these Pac-12 entries, both of which are no guarantee to get to the required number of wins for bowl eligibility (in SC’s case, that means seven wins this season due to the extra game at Hawaii).

But on the disappointment meter, the Trojans score higher, already enduring a coaching dismissal and dealing with a roster shorn of depth thanks to recent NCAA penalties.

More illuminating is the fact that the normally voracious SC support base has gone into seclusion and is not moving numbers in Las Vegas as it did when the Trojans were riding high a few years ago. And for good reason, as Troy is now 5-15 vs. the line since last season.

In addition, sources report that the last possible indicator of an SC turnaround was squandered last week in an unsightly 14-10 loss at Notre Dame, a game in which the Trojans couldn’t capitalize upon a KO of Irish QB Tommy Rees.

And now, with star WR Marqise Lee reinjuring his knee at South Bend, the SC offense could once again be minus its most field-stretching component.

Further, the loss at Notre Dame effectively condemns interim HC Ed Orgeron to caretaker status. Sources report that the only way Orgeron could have emerged as a potential candidate to retain the job on full-time basis would have been to run the table after Lane Kiffin’s late-September dismissal. Now, that’s not going to happen.

In fact, many Pac-12 observers believe SC’s season could possibly go up in a mushroom cloud, with uncertainties about a new regime causing assistants to plan their escape route and many players on scholarship to worry about their place in the upcoming new order. History suggests those sorts can be expected to send out transfer feelers, adding more potential distractions in the last half of this season.

It’s no box of chocolates in Salt Lake City, either, with Utah blowing a fourth quarter lead at Arizona last Saturday and perhaps minus QB Travis Wilson, who was pulled after suffering a hand injury at Tucson. Backup Adam Schulz, however, was serviceable in relief, and if Wilson can’t make the post this week, the effective drop-off at QB for the Utes should be minimal.

We suspect that because of those aforementioned Trojan pointspread shortcomings, there will be some anti-SC money showing up as Saturday approaches. Early in the week, however, several seven's were still available throughout Nevada.

We suggest Utah backers to grab the full seven ASAP, because the price likely drops below that key number as the week progresses, especially with the usual Trojan support base now staying away from the sports book windows in droves.

Spread to wait on

Texas Tech Red Raiders (+7) at Oklahoma Sooners

Not a lot of early movement either way in the sports book action for this key Big 12 battle Saturday at Norman.

But given the parameters and recent history in this series, we suspect the money will be mostly drifting in Oklahoma’s direction at some point during the week.

Specifically, this is a price that we believe the public is likely to move (perhaps unwisely) toward the Sooners as we proceed to the Saturday kickoff.

Though unbeaten, Texas Tech remains a bit of a mystery, having taken advantage of a favorable schedule in the first half of the season.

Fueled by the football media, and aware of past late-season fades in Lubbock, many college football followers are understandably a bit wary of the Red Raiders and new HC Kliff Kingsbury. Popular opinion is that Texas Tech will soon get its comeuppance against a backloaded schedule that begins to toughen considerably this week with the trip to Norman.

And Oklahoma is still, well, Oklahoma, even though Bob Stoops’ troops have burned their backers with recent non-covers vs. Texas and Kansas.

Back home in Norman this week, however, the masses will likely be swayed by the trends in this back-and-forth series in which home field edge has proven a huge benefit.

In fact, the home team has won the last nine meetings between these teams, and covered the spread in seven in a row. That sort of angle is not to be lost on the masses, who could be expected to support the Sooners in greater numbers as the week progresses.

The fact there was no sharp money movement towards the Red Raiders at the onset of wagering suggests that any sharp money interested in Texas Tech is probably waiting until later in the week to make a move. And with the current price mostly sitting at OU -7, any Red Raider-inclined backers would probably rather sit tight and wait for the spread to float higher as we get closer to Saturday.

No reason for Texas Tech supporters to bite on this price as long as it rests on a key number. We’d advise Red Raider money to idle for the moment, as this spread likely moves above that key seven later in the week.

Total to watch

Baylor Bears at Kansas Jayhawks

We remain fascinated by the machinations involving totals on Baylor games, which continue to distort normal oddsmaker etiquette.

Once again last week against Iowa State, there was buy pressure on the Over involving the Bears, even with the oddsmakers hanging an initial total in the mid-to-high 70s for the game against the Cyclones.

Indeed, most books had the first total price at a sky-high 75 or 76 for Cyclones-Bears last week at Waco, but there was still considerable appetite for the Over as there were mostly 78.5s posted around Las Vegas at kickoff time.

The game landed on 78, with Art Briles’ team once again doing almost all of the scoring with 71 points. The Over was the winner on most of the tickets, moving the Waco bunch to 5-1 O/U this season.

As mentioned earlier, oddsmakers are making pre-emptive moves on totals involving video-football teams like Baylor and Oregon, posting heretofore unthinkable totals into the stratosphere from the outset. We suspect another initial total in the 70s for Bears-Jayhawks, with totals perhaps into the 80s for upcoming games vs. Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.

We’ll be interested to see if there is a bit more caution on the part of the wagering public regarding another Baylor Over this week, simply because the Bears are on the road. That’s because in their one game away from Waco, against Kansas State, Baylor was held to “only” 35 points, a far cry from the 71 ppg it is scoring at home. (The Wildcats were also the stiffest test to date the Bears have faced this season.)

If nothing else, it will be fascinating to see if the public continues to play the Over on Baylor games no matter how high the oddsmakers set the totals price.
