NCAAF opening line report: Hard to trust Notre Dame vs. Florida State

Yes, we’re heading into Week 8 of the 2014 college football season. But this week, we’re gonna party like its 1993.

Notre Dame at Florida State (-12.5)

Back then, unbeaten and top-ranked Florida State faced unbeaten and second-ranked Notre Dame in a late-season battle that the host fighting Irish won, 31-24. Notre Dame faltered a week later, though, losing to Boston College, while the Seminoles rebounded and ultimately won the national title.

Twenty-one years later, both are unbeaten again, and defending national champion Florida State will get to host Notre Dame this Saturday. The winner keeps alive hopes to reach the four-team playoff, and the loser is on the outside looking in. The No. 2 ‘Noles (6-0 SU) have been awful against the number, at 1-5 ATS, failing to cover as 23-point chalks in a 38-20 win at Syracuse last weekend. The fifth-ranked Irish (6-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) struggled Saturday, holding on for a 50-43 win over North Carolina as a 16.5-point favorite.

John Lester, senior lines manager for bookmaker.eu, is wary of both sides – but more so Notre Dame.

“We still haven’t seen that convincing, marquee win from Florida State. Perhaps they’ve just been going through the motions,” Lester said. “This could be the week, as Notre Dame isn’t nearly as deep from a talent perspective. The Irish always have their supporters, but they’re tough to trust right now, from a sharp standpoint.”

Texas A&M Aggies at Alabama Crimson Tide (-12.5)

Another week, another key clash in the Southeastern Conference, which continues to eat its own – with the exception of Mississippi State and Mississippi, whom A&M has lost to over the past two weekends to soil its season. On Saturday, the Aggies got drubbed at home by Ole Miss 35-20 as a 2.5-point fave.

Alabama bounced back from its loss at Mississippi by narrowly outlasting Arkansas 14-13, falling well short as a 9-point road chalk.

“Going back to last week, I called for the Aggies to get upset at home (by Mississippi,)” Lester said. “The Johnny Manziel hype is over; this is a bad defense with a decent offense. The Tide is poised for a breakout game, and this should be it. The Alabama offense will find its footing here.”

Kansas State Wildcats at Oklahoma Sooners (-9.5)

Oklahoma (5-1 SU, 3-3 ATS) has proven vulnerable the past two weekends, losing outright 37-33 at Texas Christian laying 3.5 points, then struggling to hold off overmatched Texas in a 31-26 win as a 16.5-point fave in the Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl. Kansas State (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS, coming off a bye, suffered its only loss against Auburn (20-14 catching 7 points at home last month). The Wildcats have cashed their last three in a row, most recently a 45-13 beatdown of Texas Tech giving 14 points at home.

“Is the blueprint out on Oklahoma?” Lester said. “Granted, it’s seen two very sound defenses recently, but Kansas State brings another one to the table, and Bill Snyder does a fine job getting his kids ready with extra preparation. The Wildcats aren’t the sexy team in this matchup, but I bet they keep it very close.”

Oklahoma State Cowboys at Texas Christian Horned Frogs (-9.5)

TCU (4-1 SU) is the only team in the nation with a perfect ATS mark, cashing in all five of its games – though Mississippi and Virginia are both 5-0-1. After upending Oklahoma 37-33 getting 3.5 points two weekends ago, the Horned Frogs blew a big lead and lost a shootout at No. 3 Baylor 61-58, but covered as a 7-point underdog.

Since losing its season opener at home to Florida State, Oklahoma State (5-1 SU, 3-3 ATS) has peeled off five consecutive SU wins. But the Cowboys have alternated ATS wins and losses all season, winning 27-20 at Kansas on Saturday, well short of covering as 19.5-point chalks.

“You always know what you’re going to get with Gary Patterson’s (TCU) squads – sound defense and sound special teams,” Lester said. “But the offense goes as the quarterback goes, and Trevone Boykin is erratic. This is the Cowboys’ first test since their opener against Florida State, so we will certainly see what they’re made of.”

Game of the Day: Louisiana-Lafayette at Texas State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns at Texas State Bobcats (-2.5, 63)

With a three-game losing streak now in the rearview mirror, the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns have a new goal: avoid getting blown out on the road. The Ragin' Cajuns look to atone for a pair of one-sided losses away from home as they face Texas State at Bobcat Stadium on Tuesday night. The Bobcats had a precarious opening to their Sun Belt Conference schedule last time out, fending off winless Idaho behind 284 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Terrence Franks.

Louisiana-Lafayette is on a high after defeating Georgia State 34-31 on a late touchdown pass from Terrance Broadway to Jamal Robinson. It was the perfect capper to a sensational performance from Robinson, who hauled in eight passes for 119 yards and two scores after missing the previous two games with a torn meniscus in his knee. Texas State will have revenge on its minds after getting throttled 48-24 in last season's encounter at Cajun Field.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN2.

LINE HISTORY: The line has fallen a half-point since opening at Texas State -3. The over/under has held steady at 63.

INJURY REPORT: Louisiana-Lafayette: S Trevance Patt (ankle), RB Elijah McGuire (toe), LB Trae Johnson (knee) and LB Chris Hill (eligibility) are questionable. Texas State: LB Michael Orakpo (knee) is out.

WEATHER REPORT: Temperatures at Bobcat Stadium are expected to be in the high-70s with sunny skies and wind blowing to the northwest at 15 mph.

ABOUT LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE (2-3, 1-4 ATS, 3-2 O/U): Broadway had what was easily his most efficient game of the season against Georgia State, completing 20-of-26 passes for 216 yards and a pair of scores. The 22-year-old senior has taken a significant step back from each of the previous two seasons; he already has seven interceptions and his 5.68 yards-per-pass-attempt is well below his marks of 9.09 and 9.02 the past two years. Elijah McGuire (331 yards, three touchdowns) and Alonzo Harris (249 yards, four TDs) pace a two-headed rush attack.

ABOUT TEXAS STATE (3-2, 3-2 ATS, 3-1-1 O/U): The Bobcats would love nothing more than a nice, easy victory; they needed three overtimes to subdue Tulsa two weeks ago before clinging to victory last week over the woeful Vandals. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Jones was dreadful against Idaho, but remains on pace for a sensational season with 1,149 passing yards and 12 touchdowns. He has also recorded a rushing touchdown in four straight games, taking some of the heat off the running back tandem of Franks (408 yards, six TDs) and Robert Lowe (402 yards, two TDs).

TRENDS:

* Louisiana-Lafayette is 1-7 ATS in its last eight games following an ATS loss.
* Texas State is 2-5 ATS in its last seven home games.
* Under is 5-1 in the Ragin' Cajuns' last six road games.
* Over is 4-1-1 in the Bobcats' last six gams.

CONSENSUS: 61 percent of the vote is on Texas State at -2.5.

Week 8

Tuesday's game
UL-Lafayette (-11) beat Texas State 48-24 LY; they were 21-26/360 passing, outgained Bobcats 572-196 in game that was 28-3 at halftime. ULL is 1-3 vs I-A teams, allowing 34+ points in all three losses- 48-20 loss to La Tech is a red flag. Texas State won its last two games by total of 8 points despite allowing 30+ points in each game- they're 0-4 in last four games as a home favorite. Ragin' Cajuns are 2-5 in last seven games as a road underdog, after being 15-2 in seventeen games before that. Sun Belt home favorites are 4-6 vs spread in conference games this year.

NCAAF Line Watch: Bettors should jump on Tennessee now

Spread to bet now

Tennessee Volunteers (+17) at Mississippi Rebels

Mississippi opened as 17-point favorites over Tennessee, and some books are already down to 16.5 on this game. I expect this line to drop throughout the week, especially since Mississippi is off back-to-back big wins.

Tennessee is one of the most improved teams in the country, and the Vols are still flying well under the radar. They’ve been competitive against a brutal schedule, and even though Mississippi is one of the best teams in the nation, bettors should play this game now and take the best of the number.


Spread to wait on

West Virginia Mountaineers (+8.5) vs. Baylor Bears

This line came out with Baylor as a 9.5-point road favorite at West Virginia, and early money quickly came in on the underdog, dropping the favorite down to -7.5. Subsequent money has come in on Baylor pushing the line back up to 8.5 at most sportsbooks.

Baylor is a high-scoring public team, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see this line go up higher closer to kick off. The Bears are off a big comeback home win over TCU, and this is a tough spot on the road at a much-improved West Virginia team. Wait and take the Mountaineers at a better line closer to Saturday.


Total to watch

UCLA at California

UCLA and California have payed little defense this season. The Bruins have allowed 27, 30, and 42 points in their three conference games. The Golden Bears have allowed 49, 56, 59, and 31 points in their four conference games. Combined, the UCLA and California defenses are allowing 42 points per game in conference play.

Both teams also possess potent offenses. Overall, UCLA is averaging 35 points per game while California is averaging 42.8 points per game. The Bruins and Golden Bears are both coming in off losses while playing lackluster offense, so this game provides both teams the perfect opportunity to explode and score a bunch of points. If this total comes out lower than 70, the value will be on the Over.

Game of the Day: Utah at Oregon State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Utah Utes at Oregon State Beavers (+2.5, 52.5)

Utah quarterback Kendal Thompson is expected to make his first start Thursday when the Utes visit Oregon State, which won last season’s meeting 51-48 in overtime. Thompson, who transferred in the offseason from Oklahoma, replaced an inefficient Travis Wilson and rushed for 83 yards to spark No. 23 Utah’s 30-28 upset of UCLA on Oct. 4. Utes coach Kyle Whittingham hasn’t named a starter for Thursday, but all signs point to Thompson getting the nod.

After opening Pac-12 play with a 35-10 loss at USC, Oregon State bounced back from a with a 36-31 victory at Colorado on Oct. 4. Beavers senior quarterback Sean Mannion threw five touchdowns in last year’s win over Utah, but brings a 5-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio into this season’s matchup. While Mannion and his young receiving corps has struggled throughout the first half of the season, Oregon State ranks second in the Pac-12 in total defense at 331.4 yards allowed per game.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1.

LINE HISTORY: Utah opened as 2-point road favorites and were bet as high as -3, before settling at -2.5. The total opened at 52 and is now up to 52.5.

INJURY REPORT: Oregon State - OL Garrett Weinreich (questionable Thursday, knee). Utah - N/A.

WEATHER REPORT: It will be mostly cloudy at kickoff with seven mile per hour wind blowing towards the northwest endzone. There will be a slight nine percent chance of rain.

POWER RANKINGS: Utah (-10.5) - Oregon State (-4) + home field (-3) = Oregon State +3.5

ABOUT UTAH (4-1, 4-1 ATS, 2-3 O/U): Running back Devontae Booker had 156 yards on 33 carries against UCLA and could post similar numbers against an Oregon State front seven that is missing two injured starters. The Utes’ defense leads the nation in sacks (5.6 per game) and tackles for loss (10.2 per game), and defensive end Nate Orchard ranks first in the country with 8.5 sacks. The Utes boast one of the top special teams units in the country, led by kicker Andy Phillips and kick returner Kaelin Clay, who leads the Pac-12 in punt return average (23.1).

ABOUT OREGON STATE (4-1, 2-3 ATS, 2-3 O/U): Terron Ward provided a boost for the Beavers’ offense with 102 rushing yards and two touchdowns against Colorado, but Mannion has struggled at times while waiting for receivers such as Victor Bolden and Richard Mullaney to become consistent downfield threats. The Beavers rank second in the league in passing efficiency defense, led by linebackers Michael Doctor, D.J. Alexander and Jabral Johnson. Kicker Trevor Romaine has been on a tear since missing the first two games, going 8-for-8 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals, including a 47-yarder.

TRENDS:

* Oregon State is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Utah is 4-0 ATS versus a team with a winning record.
* Under is 7-1 in Utah's last eight games versus a team with a winning record.
* Under is 5-1 in Oregon State's last six home games.

CONSENSUS: Just under 52 percent of wagers are backing Utah at -2.5.

Mid-Major Money: Big profits from NCAAF small conferences

Team to watch: Boise State Broncos (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS)

This week: -17 vs. Fresno State

Their most recent game on Oct. 4 saw the Broncos post a season-high 51 points in a win at Nevada as Grant Hedrick threw for 346 yards and Jay Ajayi rushed for 116 of his 152 yards in the second half.

Boise State also welcomed the return of cornerback Cleshawn Page, who had missed three games (knee). Page played sparingly in the first half as a backup but was in there full time in the second. It will not hurt Page or any other Bronco that the team is coming off a bye week.

“I think it came at a really good time,” Hedrick assured, “to get guys rested up a little bit. We (can) kind of focus back on the fundamentals of the game and catch our breath.”

Meanwhile, Fresno State gave up more than 50 points in its first three games and allowed 30 last week during a loss to UNLV as a 10-point favorite. Don’t be fooled by the Bulldogs’ defensive performance against San Diego State running back Donnel Pumphrey on Oct. 3 (season-low 3.9 yards per carry on 24 attempts). The Aztecs started a true freshman at quarterback and—very much unlike Boise State—had no semblance of a passing game to keep the defense honest.

Team to beware: Appalachian State Mountaineers (1-5 SU, 1-5 ATS)

This week: +7 at Troy

A few weeks ago, head coach Scott Satterfield started picking up the pace right away in practices and jumping straight into game situations. His hope was to end a trend of slow starts. It has not worked. Appalachian State fell behind South Alabama 20-0 midway through the second quarter of a blowout loss Oct. 4 and it trailed Liberty 14-7 after one quarter last weekend en route to a 55-48 overtime heartbreaker.

Troy, on the other hand, appears to be playing inspired football in the wake of head coach Larry Blakeney’s announcement last Monday that he will retire at the end of this season. The Trojans responded by winning their first game of 2014, 41-24 over New Mexico State.

App State is 1-6 ATS in its last seven road games and 0-4 ATS in its last four overall. Troy is 4-0 ATS in its last four against the Sun Belt.

Total team: Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (4-3 SU, 5-1-1 O/U)

This week: vs. UAB

Middle Tennessee has made 32 trips to the red zone this season and has scored on 29 of those occasions—including 21 touchdowns. That’s part of the reason why the over is 6-1 ATS in the Blue Raiders’ last seven home games.

UAB’s defense is made to go over the total. It gives up plenty of points (an average of 31.3 in its last three outings), but it has also been known to make the big play. The unit scored a whopping three touchdowns in last weekend’s win over North Texas, two on interceptions and one after a fumble recovery.

The over is 7-0 in the Blazers’ last seven Conference USA games and 5-0 in their last five on the road.

Week 8

Friday's games
Boise State won 11 of last 13 games with Fresno State, but lost 41-40 at Fresno LY, but that was with current NFL starter Carr at QB for Fresno. Bulldogs lost last six visits here (0-6 vs spread) in series where favorites are 11-1 vs spread in series. Boise is 2-0 as home favorite this year, with home wins by 13-25 points, after being just 5-13 as home favorite in last three years of Petersen era. Fresno is playing on 4th consecutive Friday; this is their 5th road game already- they're 2-3 as road underdogs under DeRuyter and got upset on road last week by a bad UNLV team.

Houston lost two of three lined home games this year; they're 21-11 last 32 games as home favorite, 1-2 this year. Cougars (-3) won 22-13 LY at Temple, outgaining Owls 524-300. Three of last four Houston games were decided by 8 or less points. Temple is 4-1, winning road games at stiffs Vandy/UConn; their only loss was at home to run-happy Navy. Owls are 13-8-1 in last 22 games as a home underdog. Home teams have covered only three of nine games in the AAC this season.

Game of the Day: Temple at Houston
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Temple Owls at Houston Cougars (-7.5, 51)

The American Athletic Conference's top two defenses will meet in a primetime clash Friday when Temple visits Houston. The host Cougars lead the AAC in total defense while the Owls lead the league - and are ranked fourth nationally - in scoring defense. The Owls have also turned 17 turnovers into a national-best 79 points.

Houston, which has 19 takeaways this season and at least one in 29 straight games, must overcome significant changes on both sides of the ball. Receiver-turned-quarterback Greg Ward Jr. will make his second start at the position after replacing John O'Korn, and the Cougars lost second-leading receiver Daniel Spencer to a knee injury last week in practice. The Houston defense, which is allowing 322.7 yards and 19.2 points, lost junior cornerback Lee Hightower (leg) and senior linebacker Derrick Mathews (knee) to season-ending injuries in last week's win at Memphis.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPNU.

LINE: The Cougars opened as 6-point home favorites and have been bet up to -7.5. The total opened at 48.5 and has been bet up all the way to 51.

INJURY REPORT: Houston - DB Lee Hightower (out for season, leg), LB Derrick Mathews (out for season, knee). Temple - N/A.

WEATHER REPORT: It should be a great night for football at TDECU Stadium with temperatures in the mid 70s and a six mile per hour wind blowing from the south.

TRENDS:

* Temple is 6-0 ATS in its last six road games.
* Houston is 1-4 ATS in its last five home games.
* Over is 5-0 in Temple's last five games on fieldturf.
* Under is 4-0 in Houston's last four home games.

CONSENSUS: Almost 59 percent of wagers are backing the road underdogs Temple at +7.5-points.

Fresno State providing no value against Boise State

Fresno State will travel to Albertsons Stadium with an abysmal track record against Boise State. The Bulldogs are 1-12 against the spread in the last 13 meetings between the teams.

The lone cover by the Bulldogs came in 2005 when the Bulldogs topped the Broncos 27-7, as 9-point home favorites.

Fresno State is currently 17-point home faves against Boise State.


Temple has been money on the road

There may not be a better under the rader road team in college football for bettors than Temple. In the last six road games, the Owls are a perfect 6-0 against the spread.

Though Temple was spotted points in five of those six games, they won outright in their last three outscoring opponents 114-38.

The Owls are 7.5-point road dogs against Houston.
