Saturday's SEC Showdowns

November 20, 2014

**Ole Miss at Arkansas**

-- As of late Thursday, most books had Ole Miss (8-2 straight up, 6-3-1 against the spread) listed as a 3.5-point favorite for Saturday's showdown in Fayetteville. The total was 45.5 points. The Razorbacks were +155 on the money line (risk $100 to win $155).

-- I've been saying all year that Arkansas (5-5 SU, 8-2 ATS) is going to clip at least one SEC West powerhouse. One down, two to go. The Razorbacks broke out the cream cheese and handed LSU a bagel Saturday night in Fayetteville. It brought a 17-game losing streak against SEC foes to an end. At long last, Hog Fans can put the Bobby Petrino Disaster behind them and look forward to a bright future under Bret Beliema.

-- Arkansas won a 17-0 decision over LSU as a one-point home favorite. The defense completely stymied LSU's offense, holding it to 123 yards of total offense. The Tigers could muster just 35 rushing yards on 32 attempts. Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins both rushed for one TD apiece for the Hogs.

-- Arkansas has covered the spread at an 8-1 clip in its last nine games. The Razorbacks have been dynamite at home this year, going 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS.

-- Ole Miss has had two weeks to prep for Hogs. After dropping a 35-31 heartbreaker to Auburn three weeks ago, the Rebels stroked Presbyterian 48-0 but came up just shy of covering the 50.5-point spread. Bo Wallace threw a pair of TD passes and ran for another score. Jordan Wilkins ran for 171 yards and one TD on 10 carries, while Mark Dodson rushed for 128 yards and two TDs on just three totes.

-- For the season, Wallace has a 22/8 touchdown-to-interception ratio and four rushing TDs. He must play out the rest of the season without his favorite target in sophomore WR Laquon Treadwell.

-- Arkansas QB Brandon Allen has vastly improved this season after struggling with a shoulder injury for much of the 2013 campaign. Allen has a 15/5 TD-INT ratio and a pair of rushing scores.

-- Williams has rushed for a team-high 932 yards and 11 TDs while averaging 6.0 yards per carry. Collins has run for 886 yards and 11 TDs, averaging 5.9 YPC.

-- As a road favorite during Hugh Freeze's tenure, the Rebels own a 3-3 spread record. Arkansas is 2-3 ATS as a home 'dog on Bielema's watch.

-- Ole Miss has won back-to-back games over Arkansas, but the Razorbacks took the money in last year's 34-24 loss in Oxford as 17-point underdogs. The Rebels won 30-27 as 6.5-point 'dogs in their last trip to Fayetteville.

-- The 'over' is 6-4 overall for Arkansas, 4-2 in its home games. The Hogs have seen their games average a combined score of 56.2 points per game.

-- The 'under' is 7-2 overall for Ole Miss, 3-0 in its road games. The Rebels have seen their games average a combined score of 45.3 PPG.

-- The 'under' is 6-2 in the last eight head-to-head meetings between these SEC West rivals.

-- CBS will have the telecast at 3:30 p.m. Eastern.

**Vanderbilt at Mississippi State**

-- As of Thursday, most betting shops had Mississippi State (9-1 SU, 6-4 ATS) installed as a 30.5-point favorite with a total of 53 for 'over/under' wagers. 5Dimes has the Commodores available on the money line for a monster 45/1 payout (risk $100 to win $4,500).

-- Dan Mullen's team went down for the first time last week in Tuscaloosa, dropping a 25-20 decision at Alabama. However, Mississippi State covered the number in backdoor fashion thanks to Dak Prescott's four-yard TD pass to Jameon Lewis on fourth down with 15 seconds remaining. The scoring strike allowed the Bulldogs to take the cash as 10-point underdogs.

-- Despite throwing a pair of TD passes and accounting for 290 passing yards and 82 rushing yards, Prescott had his worst game of the season. He was intercepted three times, including a terrible pick deep in the red zone in the third quarter to end an outstanding drive. Prescott has been intercepted eight times in the last four SEC games. The performance at 'Bama all but ended Prescott's realistic hopes of winning the Heisman Trophy, although he's still a strong candidate to be invited to New York City.

-- Josh Robinson rushed for only 37 yards on 12 carries against the Crimson Tide. It was his second-lowest output this year. Nevertheless, Robinson surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the season. He now has 1,021 rushing yards, 11 TDs and a 6.5 YPC average.

-- For the season, Prescott has a 20/10 TD-INT ratio and 11 rushing scores.

-- As a home favorite during Mullen's tenure, MSU has compiled a 15-10 spread record.

-- This is a classic sandwich spot for the Bulldogs, who are coming off a huge game and have the biggest Egg Bowl showdown in decades on deck next week.

-- Vanderbilt (3-7 SU, 5-5 ATS) was on a 5-1 ATS run until its last outing when Florida came into Nashville and captured a 34-10 win as a 14-point road 'chalk.' Johnny McCrary threw a TD pass to give the Commodores an early 7-0 advantage, but he was intercepted twice later in the game. He finished with 160 passing yards.

-- McCrary, a redshirt freshman, will make his fourth career start in Starkville. He has completed 53.5 percent of his throws for 806 yards with a 9/6 TD-INT ratio.

-- Vandy redshirt freshman RB Ralph Webb has run for a team-high 838 yards and three TDs. He's averaging 4.5 YPC. Webb is the man for the present and the future for Derek Mason, who dismissed junior RB Jerron Seymour from the program on Thursday. Seymour had 14 rushing TDs in 2003, but he was only given 25 carries this year. Mason also booted junior RB Brian Kimbrow earlier this season.

-- Vandy has thrived as a road underdog for a solid decade, including this season. The Commodores are 3-0 ATS as road 'dogs this year. Going back to 2004, they own a 30-13-1 spread record in 44 games as road puppies.

-- Since 1989, these SEC rivals have met only seven times. Mississippi State is 6-1 both SU and ATS in those seven encounters. The last meeting was in 2009 when MSU collected a 15-3 win as an 8.5-point road underdog.

-- Totals have been a wash both overall (5-5) and at home (3-3) for Mississippi State

-- Totals have been an overall wash (5-5) for Vandy, too. It has seen the 'under' go 2-1 in its three road assignments.

-- Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Eastern on the SEC Network.

**B.E.'s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Vandy hasn't beaten a top-10 foe since besting sixth-ranked South Carolina on Oct. 20 of 2007.

-- Vandy has played an FBS-high 31 freshmen this year.

-- Just when Butch Jones seemed to be getting it going with back-to-back wins at South Carolina and vs. Kentucky, Tennessee got bad news earlier this week. Senior linebacker A.J. Johnson and sophomore CB Michael Williams have been suspended indefinitely from all team-related activities pending the result of a police investigation. Johnson and Williams are facing sexual-assault allegations stemming from an incident in Knoxville early Sunday morning. Also, DB Brian Randolph is suspended for the first half of Saturday's home game vs. Missouri. Johnson leads the SEC in tackles with 101, while Williams has started five games and made 23 tackles. Randolph has 76 tackles, one forced fumble and one interception. As of Thursday, most books had the Volunteers favored by 3.5 points.

-- After winning a 34-27 decision at Texas A&M as a 3.5-point underdog, Missouri has taken the cash in eight consecutive road assignments. Going back to 2007, the Tigers are on a 25-9 ATS run in their last 34 road games.

-- Florida is 7-14 ATS as a home favorite during Will Muschamp's tenure. As of late Thursday afternoon, a line had not yet been released for the Gators' home finale Saturday vs. Eastern Kentucky. A number should be out late Thursday or early Friday.

Saturday's Top Action

November 21, 2014


LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (7-3) at NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH (7-3)

Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Notre Dame -3.5, Total: 52.5

Notre Dame looks to avoid its fourth loss in five games when it hosts No. 24 Louisville on Saturday afternoon.

The Cardinals have done well this season as they are 5-3 SU in the tough ACC with losses to Virginia, Clemson and Florida State. Overall they are 6-4 ATS, as they have failed to cover the spread in two of their past three contests. They did do well in their most recent game though, when they defeated Boston College on the road by a score of 38-19 as 3-point favorites. They outscored the Eagles 21-6 in the second half as they totaled 423 yards of offense for the game while the defense picked off four B.C. passes. The Irish looked to have a chance at playing in the playoffs this year with a 6-0 SU start (4-2 ATS), but things fell apart with losses to Florida State, Arizona State and Northwestern in their past four contests. They have also hurt bettors as they are 0-3 ATS in their past three games including an overtime loss to Northwestern last week as 17-point home favorites. Notre Dame allowed 547 total yards of offense to the Wildcats as it once against struggled with turnovers, coughing up the pigskin four times in the loss to give the school nine giveaways in the past two weeks. These two programs have not met at any point recently and will not play again until the 2019 season. Some trends that bettors should be aware of include that Notre Dame is a poor 6-17 ATS (26%) in home games after having lost two out of their previous three games since 1992, while the Cardinals are just 1-6 ATS (14%) after scoring 37+ points in their previous game in the past three seasons. Louisville suffered a big loss with QB Will Gardner (knee) now being out for the season, and the team could also be without WR James Quick (suspension), who missed the Boston College game after violating team rules. The Irish’s big loss came a few weeks ago when they lost LB Joe Schmidt (ankle) for the season while DL Sheldon Day (hip) is listed as questionable.

The Cardinals do not really excel in any part of their offense as they are scoring 31.6 PPG behind 239.3 YPG passing and 148.1 YPG in the rushing attack. With Gardner out, QB Reggie Bonnafon (662 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) will get the call, and he has been solid in limited action this season as the backup. When he entered the game last week, he hit on 4-of-5 passes for 69 yards while two of his completions went for scores. He is a valuable dual-threat option as well with 138 rushing yards (2.7 YPC) and three touchdowns this year. The running back position is led by HB Brandon Radcliff (445 rush yards, 8 TD) while both HBs Michael Dyer (414 rush yards, 4 TD) and Dominique Brown (374 rush yards, 4 TD) have 90 or more carries. The possible absence of WR James Quick (459 rec yards, 3 TD) is cushioned by the presence of WR DeVante Parker (490 rec yards, 1 TD) who returned three weeks ago and has gone over 130 yards with at least eight receptions in each contest. He is a true red-zone threat who tallied double-digit TDs in each of the past two seasons. The defense for this program has been exceptional in allowing opponents to score a mere 17.8 PPG (10th in FBS) while ranking 10th in the nation with 25 forced turnovers. Much of this production has started from a strong pass rush led by DLs Sheldon Rankins (7 sacks, 39 tackles, 2 INT) and Lorenzo Mauldin (6.5 sacks, 39 tackles) while S Gerod Holliman (13 INT, 1 TD, 31 tackles) has picked off nearly everything that has been thrown in his direction, racking up five interceptions in the past two games alone.

Notre Dame had looked like an efficient and dynamic offense to start the year, and it still ranks 15th in passing (304.4 YPG). Although the Irish have dropped off in their rushing attack (160.7 YPG), they have still scored 35.4 PPG (28th in FBS). QB Everett Golson (3,044 pass yards, 27 TD, 12 INT) has at least one interception in each of the past seven games after throwing none in the first three contests while going for 300+ passing yards four times in the past five games. He is always a threat to take off on the ground as well, with 339 rushing yards on 104 attempts (3.3 YPC) and 8 TD this year while posting his highest rushing total (78 yards) in the loss to Northwestern. HB Tarean Folston (668 rush yards, 4 TD) has at least 18 carries in four out of the past five games and is averaging 118.3 YPG when he hits that number. He has also been able to help out Golson with 165 yards on 14 catches (11.8 avg) and a touchdown. WR William Fuller (853 rec yards, 13 TD) has been the top option through the air, as he has gone over 115 yards three times this year and has at least one score in all but one single contest. Last week he had his best effort of the season in the defeat, as he grabbed nine balls for 159 yards (17.7 avg) and three touchdowns. The Fighting Irish were an elite defense through the first five games of the year, allowing just 12.0 PPG to their opponents, but have fallen off since, with opponents scoring a robust 42.2 PPG against them in the past five contests. DBs Matthias Farley (36 tackles, 4 INT, 3.5 sacks) and Cole Luke (37 tackles, 4 INT, 1 sack), and LB Jaylon Smith (77 tackles, 2 sacks) will need to step up to get the team back to its early season form.

ARIZONA WILDCATS (8-2) at UTAH UTES (7-3)

Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Utah -4, Total: 54

No. 15 Arizona and No. 17 Utah meet on Saturday for an important game within the wide-open Pac-12 South division.

Arizona has put together a great season with an 8-2 SU record highlighted by defeating Oregon 31-24 as 21.5-point underdogs earlier in the year. Unfortunately, they have not done well for bettors with a 3-7 ATS record while failing to cover in each of their past three attempts. Last week, the Wildcats barely earned the win over Washington, as they escaped with a 27-26 victory at home as 8-point favorites. It took a field goal with time expiring for them to secure the win as they were outgained 504-375 while each team turned the ball over three times. Utah has also been solid in the Pac-12 with key victories over UCLA and USC, but was unable to keep the winning ways going as it lost consecutive games to Arizona State and Oregon. The Utes have been very impressive for bettors at 8-2 ATS on the season and were 10-point underdogs when they traveled to Stanford last week as they were able to pull off an upset in overtime with a 20-17 win. The teams combined for just 541 yards of offense in the defensive struggle, but Utah’s efficiency was key as the team completed 21-of-28 passes and did not turn the ball over. Arizona has won each of the past two meetings in this series by an average of 10.5 PPG while covering both games and throwing for 300+ yards each time. Last season the Wildcats hosted the Utes as 3.5-point favorites and prevailed 35-24 while getting 26 first downs and collecting 320 yards through the air. Before placing a wager, bettors should know that Utah is a mere 23-41 ATS (36%) as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points since 1992 while Arizona is 0-7 ATS after scoring 20+ points in the first half of two consecutive games over the past three seasons. Amazingly neither team has any significant injuries to worry about for this key Pac-12 matchup.

Arizona ranks among the naton's top-50 with a potent passing game (306.7 YPG, 14th in FBS) while adding 185.5 YPG from the rushing attack, and posting 35.6 PPG in the process. QB Anu Solomon (3,058 pass yards, 25 TD, 7 INT) has exceeded expectations as a freshman while throwing 3+ TD in five games this year and surpassing 300 yards three times. He put forth a subpar performance in the win over Washington last week though, going 17-for-39 (44%) with 242 yards and 2 INT, while failing to throw a touchdown for the first time this season. HB Nick Wilson (867 rush yards, 9 TD) has hit the century mark rushing the ball five times this year, including the past two games in which he has averaged 128.5 YPG while scoring twice in last week’s victory. There are seven different Arizona players who have more than 20 receptions on this team with WR Cayleb Jones (788 rec yards, 8 TD) leading the way with 58 grabs. He has slowed down after a fast start though, gaining a mere 52.2 YPG over his past six games. The Wildcats defense has allowed opponents to score 26.1 PPG this season behind the efforts of stud LB Scooby Wright III (118 tackles, 12 sacks) and DB Jared Travis (94 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 INT).

Utah is not like many of its Pac-12 counterparts with an average offense tallying just 189.9 passing YPG and 177.5 rushing YPG, leading to 31.4 PPG. QB Travis Wilson (1,558 pass yards, 13 TD, 2 INT) has six touchdowns and just two picks over his past four contests while looking very impressive in the victory over Stanford last week (21-for-28, 177 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT). He does like to attack the opposition with his legs too, with five games of double-digit carries while gaining 172 yards (2.0 YPC) and scoring two touchdowns overall on the year. HB Devontae Booker (1,113 rush yards, 8 TD) is gaining 5.1 YPC over 218 attempts and had a stretch of five games over the middle of the season where he averaged 162.2 YPG, but has put up a meager 60.4 YPG over the other five contests. He is a big part of the passing game as well with 30 catches for 252 yards (8.4 avg) and two scores, including 17 catches in the past two weeks alone. There is no dominant receiver that comes from this team, while WR Kenneth Scott (351 rec yards, 4 TD) leads the team in receptions (33) and is tied with WR Dres Anderson (355 rec yards, 4 TD) for most touchdown grabs. The performances of LB Jared Norris (90 tackles, 4 sacks), DB Gionni Paul (61 tackles, 4 INT), DL Nate Orchard (73 tackles, 16.5 sacks) and DL Hunter Dimick (50 tackles, 9 sacks) have led the team to giving up 23.8 PPG (43rd in nation) to their opponents.

OLE MISS REBELS (8-2) at ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS (5-5)

Kickoff: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: Ole Miss -3, Total: 45.5

No. 8 Ole Miss looks to stop a two-game skid against SEC opponents on Saturday afternoon when it visits a confident Arkansas club.

The Rebels had their sights set on the NCAA Playoffs with a perfect 7-0 start (SU and ATS) to the year, but losses to both LSU and Auburn has set them back. They fell by an average of just 3.5 PPG against those two opponents while being favored in each contest, and with their 48-0 victory as 52.5-point favorites over Presbyterian last week, they have now failed to cover in three consecutive tries. Ole Miss had no issues with the Blue Hose as it amassed 640 yards of offense on them while holding their opponent to a meager 156 yards and two turnovers. The Rebels rushing attack was unstoppable with 402 yards on 36 attempts (11.2 YPC) while two halfbacks eclipsed 100 yards. Arkansas is a perfect 4-0 (SU and ATS) when playing outside of the SEC, but has been overmatched in the conference with a poor 1-5 SU record, while actually doing well for bettors at 4-2 ATS. Each SEC opponent it has faced has been ranked among the top-20 in the nation at the time of the game as it has dropped those contests by an average of 10.4 PPG while being within one score of Texas A&M, Alabama and Mississippi State. Last week the Razorbacks pulled out a nice victory against LSU at home with a 17-0 finish as two-point favorites. It was their first SU win against an SEC opponent in 18 attempts as they held the Tigers scoreless for the first time since the National Championship game in 2012. The Razorbacks held LSU to a putrid 123 yards of offense in the contest while converting an impressive 10-of-17 third downs. The Rebels have won both of the past two seasons in this matchup (1-1 ATS), with an average margin of victory of 6.5 PPG. Last year they met in Oxford, as the Rebels were 17-point favorites and outscored Arkansas 34-24 behind 419 passing yards. Trends show that Ole Miss is 20-7 ATS (74%) in games played on turf over the past three seasons while the Razorbacks are a perfect 6-0 ATS following a game where they forced one or less turnovers this year. The Rebels took a hit a few weeks ago when they lost WR Laquon Treadwell (ankle) for the season, and also have HB I’Tavius Mathers (concussion) listed as questionable for this contest. On the other side of the ball, Arkansas has no significant omissions from this contest due to injury.

Ole Miss gets it done in both facets of its offense that scores 33.4 PPG, producing 272.7 YPG through the air (33rd in FBS), while rushing the ball for 174.4 YPG. QB Bo Wallace (2,554 pass yards, 22 TD, 8 INT) has thrown at least one touchdown pass in each game this season while providing multiple scores between passing and rushing in 8-of-10 contests. He has thrown for more than 300 yards four times this season, but just once against an SEC opponent, while getting double-digit rushing opportunities in five of his past six contests, leading to 233 yards (2.4 YPC) and four touchdowns on the year. HB Jaylen Walton (398 rush yards, 4 TD) has had at least 10 carries in four games this year while contributing as a receiver with 159 yards and 2 TD through the air. He is joined in the backfield by HB Jordan Wilkins (311 rush yards, 1 TD), and he had 171 yards and a touchdown in only 10 carries last week against Presbyterian. WRs Vince Sanders (647 rec yards, 6 TD) and Cody Core (437 rec yards, 5 TD) will have to pick up the slack with Treadwell out for the season, and Sanders has been impressive with 17.5 yards per catch while eclipsing the 100-yard mark in each of the past two games. As the offense has been solid, the defense is the real strength of this team, leading the nation in scoring defense (11.9 PPG) by giving up more than 20 points just once on the year. DB Senquez Golson (9 INT, 29 tackles, 1 TD) and DL Marquis Haynes (6.5 sacks, 24 tackles) have been the big playmakers on this side of the ball for the Rebels.

Despite having trouble against tough SEC opponents, the Razorbacks have a solid offense which has gained 232.9 rushing YPG (22nd in nation) while adding 199.9 YPG through the air, leading to 34.0 PPG (36th in FBS). QB Brandon Allen (1,905 pass yards, 15 TD, 5 INT) has been solid this season while eclipsing 200 passing yards in four of his past five games, but has failed to throw a touchdown in each of the past two games. HBs Jonathan Williams (932 rush yards, 11 TD) and Alex Collins (886 rush yards, 11 TD) create a tough matchup for opposing defenses, as they have averaged a solid 6.0 YPC together in 304 attempts. The pair has seven triple-digit rushing performances between them, while each back has double-digit carries in the past four contests. WRs Keon Hatcher (435 rec yards, 3 TD) and Hunter Henry (417 rec yards, 2 TD) each have 30+ receptions as they lead all receivers. The defense for this program has done well while allowing fewer than 20 points in each of the past three games and are giving up an average of only 22.2 PPG (27th in nation) on the year. LB Martell Spaight (97 tackles, 6.5 TFL, 1 INT) leads the team in tackles this season and will have a tough task ahead against the Rebels this week.

USC TROJANS (7-3) at UCLA BRUINS (8-2)

Kickoff: Saturday, 8:00 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line & Total: UCLA -3.5, Total: 61

With four straight wins, No. 9 UCLA is still alive in the NCAA playoff hunt, but needs a victory against No. 19 USC on Saturday night to remain in contention.

This game is always played at a high level because of the Los Angeles rivalry. This year though, it is even more important because of the conference standings implications. The Trojans have won four of their past five contests and currently lead the red-hot Bruins by one-half-game in the South. USC has lost some heartbreakers this season, with all three of its defeats coming by a combined 13 points. The Trojans have done a nice job against ranked teams this year though, going 2-1, with road wins at Arizona and Stanford. UCLA had lost 12 of 13 games in this rivalry before Jim Mora took over as head coach, and he has led the Bruins to two straight wins in this series, including a 35-14 blowout last season. Quarterback Brett Hundley totaled 288 yards and two touchdowns in that victory. After two losses and two closer-than-expected games against California and Colorado, the Bruins have bounced back with double-digit victories against both Arizona and Washington. However, underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points coming off two straight conference wins facing an opponent that just won by double-digits on the road are just 11-43 ATS (20%) over the past 10 seasons. But Trojans head coach Steve Sarkisian is 21-9 ATS (70%) after an ATS defeat in his coaching career.

The Trojans have had an up-and-down season, but one thing that has remained consistent is the passing game, which ranks 19th in the nation with 294.9 YPG. USC also ranks 29th in scoring (35.2 PPG) and 66th in rushing (163.1 YPG). Leading the offense is QB Cody Kessler (2,919 passing yards, 29 TD, 3 INT), who has completed a terrific 70% of his passes this season. The USC offense is very capable of big plays, but Kessler has done a tremendous job of not taking too many risks deep downfield. A big reason why the passing game is so effective is because of the threat of RB Javorius Allen (217 carries, 1,184 yards, 8 TD). He is a physical running back who can wear out a defense. Allen forces the opposing defenses to put another safety in the box, opening up favorable matchups on the outside. WR Nelson Agholor (82 rec, 1,079 yards, 10 TD) has emerged as one of the top playmakers in the country. Anytime that Kessler needs a big completion, he is looking Agholor’s way. He is also a key part of the Trojans return game. WR JuJu Smith (42 catches, 531 yards, 5 TD) appears to be the next great receiver at USC, drawing comparisons to Marqise Lee. Smith is speedster who can get behind the defense, but he is also a crisp route runner. The offense has been solid all season, but there is a lot of star power on a defense that ranks 38th in points allowed (23.3 PPG). Leading the way is DE Leonard Williams (6 sacks, 62 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 3 FF), who is one of the best players in college football, and a candidate for the No. 1 overall pick in a future NFL draft. He is a rare combination of size and speed, and is nearly impossible to block. LB Hayes Pullard (75 tackles, 8 PD, 2.5 TFL) is the leading tackler on the team, taking advantage of the double teams that Williams demands. Sophomore S Su’a Cravens (52 tackles, 14 TFL, 5 sacks) is another star on the USC defense, and he will have to be ready to get after a quarterback who rushed for two touchdowns against the Trojans last year.

Entering this game, UCLA ranks 29th in FBS rushing (215.8 YPG), 31st in passing (273.4 YPG) and 32nd in scoring (34.7 PPG). Junior QB Brett Hundley (2,547 passing yards, 564 rushing yards, 24 total TD) is one of the top quarterbacks in the country, continuing to show he can make plays with both his legs and his arm. Like Kessler, he is very accurate throwing the ball, completing a stellar 72% of his passes. While he still has run effectively this season (4.2 YPC), he has not had to carry the ball as much because of the emergence of RB Paul Perkins (189 carries, 1,169 yards, 6 TD). The least amount of yards that he has rushed for in a game this year is 78, while rumbling for at least 100 yards in four games. He is also a threat through the air with 24 receptions this season. WR Jordan Payton (58 catches, 839 yards, 7 TD) is Hundley’s top receiver and a nice combination of size and speed. He does a great job of making plays after the catch. The Bruins defense has a lot of playmakers, but has been inconsistent at times, ranking 79th in the nation in points allowed (27.9 PPG). LB Eric Kendricks (114 tackles, 6 TFL, 2 INT) is the leading tackler on the team by a wide margin, and he does a great job of roaming all over the field. LB Myles Jack (69 tackles, 6 TFL) has excellent speed, and he will have the task of trying to slow down Allen. Junior DB Ishmael Adams (33 tackles, 2 INT) is a playmaker at the cornerback position who also can make his presence felt in the return game.

College football Top 25 betting cheat sheet: Week 13

The college season is almost done, with just two more games left for most programs. With Rivalry Week on deck, there could be some surprise finishes in Week 13 with teams looking ahead to those annual grudge matches. We give you need-to-know betting notes for all of Saturday's Top 25 action.

(18) Marshall Thundering Herd at UAB Blazers (+20)

*Marshall is tops nationally with a 30.8-point scoring margin and is the only team in the FBS to score at least 35 points in each of its games this season.

*Blazers head coach Bill Clark has no reservations about how difficult this game is going to be. "They have put it on the people they have played and on some good opponents in our league. As the season has gone on, it has gotten worse," the coach said. "We should play like we have everything to gain and nothing to lose."

Rutgers Scarlet Knights at (9) Michigan State Spartans (-22)

*With Rutgers traveling to Michigan State's open air, natural grass stadium this week, Scarlet Knights head coach Kyle Flood has the team practicing outside in freezing conditions. “Once you get moving around you really don’t feel it,” Flood said. “It’s only the guys standing around like the coaches that actually feel it. The players, once they get moving around, I don’t see any difference.” The forecast is calling for ice showers and temperatures hovering around freezing in East Lansing.

*Balance has been the name of the game for the Spartans this season. They are averaging 245.9 yards rushing with 34 TDs and 268.1 yards passing with 21 TDs. Twelve different offensive players have scored touchdowns this season for the Spartans, including 10 with at least two touchdowns.

Charleston Southern Buccaneers at (10) Georgia Bulldogs (OTB)

*Quietly the Buccaneers may be able to earn an at-large bid to the FCS playoffs. "Our guys are more comfortable and we've figured out who we are," coach Jamey Chadwell said. "We're more comfortable in who we are and what we want to do and guys believe in it. Our guys believe that it's going to work."

*Under the direction of Mark Richt, Georgia owns a 54-10 SU record against teams from outside the SEC. They are 38-1 at home since 2001.

Minnesota Golden Gophers at (19) Nebraska Cornhuskers (-10.5)

*The Golden Gophers are no strangers to close games this season. Two of their four Big Ten victories have been by seven or fewer points, while both of Minnesota’s conference losses have been by a touchdown or less.

*"I don't want to make an excuse - because I'm not making an excuse," Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said. "sometimes our guys put so much pressure on themselves to win that they're not playing to win, they're playing not to lose."

Indiana Hoosiers at (7) Ohio State Buckeyes (-34.5)

*Hoosiers RB Tevin Coleman has been near unstoppable this season averaging 167.8 rushing yards per contest. The junior back is averaging more yards on the ground per game than 67 FBS schools this season.

*It may be time for J.T. Barrett to get some Heisman talk. Barrett has been responsible for at least four touchdowns in six of 10 games this season while completing 64.0 percent of his passes.

Kansas Jayhawks at (22) Oklahoma Sooners (-25)

*Kansas is looking to snap several long streaks when it travels to Oklahoma. The Jayhawks have lost 28-consecutive true road games and 31 games away from Lawrence overall. Kansas' last road win came at UTEP on Sept. 12, 2009. The Jayhawks have not won a Big 12 Conference road game since defeating Iowa State on Oct. 4, 2008.

*Last week, freshman Cody Thomas got his first start for the Sooners and Bob Stoops is expecting a better game this week. "I feel confident he'll even make a bigger jump this week, having been out there that whole game and having the experience of it,'' Stoops said

Washington State Cougars at Arizona State Sun Devils (-15)

*Many were worried how the Cougars would play once they lost top QB Connor Halliday for last week's game. However, redshirt freshman Luke Falk stepped in and threw for 471 yards and five touchdowns.

*Even though QB Taylor Kelly is back from injury, there seems to be doubt that he is fully healed. "Before the injury, I think he was moving a lot better and was able to execute the zone read stuff. I’m not sure he is 100 percent back yet," Sun Devils coach Todd Graham said.

New Mexico Lobos at (23) Colorado State Rams (-21.5)

*All three of the Lobos' victories this season have come on the road. In those three victories, New Mexico is4 2-1 against the spread while only winning two games by three points each.

*Rams WR Rashad Higgins has been lost in the shuffle of bigger name receivers, but the sophomore has been more dominant than any other this season. Higgins ranks first nationally in receiving yards per game (142.2) and tied for No. 1 in receiving TDs (13).

(13) Arizona Wildcats at (21) Utah Utes (-4)

*Wildcats LB Scooby Wright has been nominated for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as he should be. The sophomore is the only player in the nation to rank in the top 25 in tackles (117), tackles for loss (21), sacks (12) and forced fumbles (five).

*It has been a bad year on the injury front for Utes receivers. Utah has lost both Dres Anderson, the team's leading receiver for the past two seasons, and Tim Patrick this season, both of which were team starters.

Boston College Eagles at (1) FSU Seminoles (-17)

*Boston College head coach Steve Addazio has some reasoning as to why FSU has been trailing early in games. "I think that teams come out and give them their best shot early, but you have to sustain it when you play that team. You have to come out and play well and sustain it; get it to the fourth quarter and win it. No one's been able to do that."

*After erasing a 16-0 deficit at Miami on Saturday night, Florida State became the first team since the 2005 UCLA Bruins to win three games after trailing by 15+ points in a single season. FSU managed to go 2-1 against the spread in those games as well.

(8) Ole Miss Rebels at Arkansas Razorbacks (+3.5)

*Ole Miss is still in the running for the SEC West crown, but they will need some help. The Rebels will need to win their final two games and then needs to hope for Auburn to top Alabama next week.

*The Razorbacks have been knocking on the door of being a top tier team in the SEC all season and they've finally achieved it thanks to a power run game. Arkansas' offensive line averages 328 lbs which has helped Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins tally 1818 yards and 22 touchdowns this season.

(15) Wisconsin Badgers at Iowa Hawkeyes (+10)

*Though Melvin Gordon gets the headlines, it's the Badgers offensive line that is pushing the team above and beyond. "We don't want to get our names in the paper or anything like that," center Dan Voltz said. "We want to get Melvin's game in the paper. If he has a good day, we did our job."

*Saturday will mark the fourth time this season the Hoosiers will face a running back ranked inside the top seven in yards per game. In the previous three they have allowed an average of 149 yards to each back with an average of 7.5 yards per carry.

Western Carolina Catamounts at (2) Alabama Crimson Tide (OTB)

*WCU has managed to outscore opponents 98-55 in the first quarter this season, a huge improvement over the 29 point they scored in the first stanza during the 2013 season.

*The Crimson Tide running game is still missing it's best piece as RB T.J. Yeldon was limited in practice this week and coach Nick Saban said he was "day-to-day."

Colorado Buffaloes at (3) Oregon Ducks (-32.5)

*The Buffaloes may be taking to the field without arguably their best player in Sefo Liufau who is dealing with a concussion. "Sefo was able to do a little bit more (this week), but he’s still not at completely 100 cleared. We think he will be. We’ll see how that goes as the week goes along to exactly how much we do on Saturday.”

*If history is any indication, than you can expect Marcus Mariota to have a large game against Colorado. The Heisman candidate has played the Buffaloes twice, throwing for 491 yards and seven touchdowns while adding three more with his feet.

Samford Bulldogs at (17) Auburn Tigers (OTB)

*Bulldogs RB Denzel Williams has scored at least one rushing touchdown in all 10 of Samford's games this season. The sophomore has 16 rushing TDs on the season.

*There is no hope for Aurburn to make the playoffs or the SEC Championships after a second straight loss last week. "It's dreadful because that's what our whole goal was this year, to get back being SEC champions and having a shot at the national championship," quarterback Nick Marshall said Tuesday. "But it didn't fall our way this year. We're going to finish out strong."

Oklahoma State Cowboys at (6) Baylor Bears (-28.5)

*Offense continues to sputter for the Cowboys during their five game losing streak. The team is averaging 10 points per game, while QB Daxx Garman has thrown almost four times as many interceptions than touchdowns (2 TDs-to-7 INTs).

*Baylor's high scoring offense has been even better at home. In the Bears past 12 home games, the team has averaged 60.25 points per game and 686 yards of offense.

(20) Missouri Tigers at Tennessee Volunteers (-3.5)

*Missouri has won nine straight road games SU and ATS. The flawless road record has seen the Tigers outscore opponents by an average of 18 ppg.

*With both A.J. Johnson and Michael Williams suspended due to rape allegations, the Tennessee coaches have told the players to practice as if they are going to start this week. Freshman LB Jakob Johnson will be expected to step in and man the MLB spot for the Volunteers.

Vanderbilt Commodores at (4) Mississippi State Bulldogs (-30.5)

*The Commordores have more first time starters (26) than any FBS team in the nation. Vanderbilt's leading passer, rusher, receiver and tackler are first-year contributors, lending more proof to a young 'Dore squad.

*“We’ve handled winning very well this season, so we’ll see how we handle this adversity at this point,” Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. The Bulldogs are coming off their first loss of the season against Alabama.

(24) USC Trojans at (12) UCLA Bruins (-4)

*USC is averaging a Pac-12-high 9.2 penalties and saw three touchdowns called back against the Golden Bears last week.

*If UCLA wants to ensure victory early, they will need to get the offense going quickly. UCLA is 21-3 under coach Jim Mora when scoring first and 23-0 when leading at halftime.

Where the action is: Saturday's biggest college football line moves

Week 13 of the college football season can be one of the most volatile slots of schedule in the entire year. With Rivalry Week up next, some teams can get caught looking ahead to those big games and lose focus on this week’s opponents.

We talk with Scott Kaminsky of TheGreek.com about the biggest adjustments on the Week 13 board and where those odds could end up come kickoff Saturday.

Northwestern Wildcats at Purdue Boilermakers – Open: +3, Move: -1.5

This spread has been bet hard toward the home team, with Purdue jumping the fence from underdog to favorite Saturday afternoon. The Boilermakers enjoyed a bye last week while the Wildcats seem ripe for regression after a stunning win over Notre Dame in South Bend.

“Northwestern is coming off that big win over Notre Dame and (bettors) are expecting a letdown,” says Kaminsky. “Coming off that upset, it makes sense that they would bet Purdue.”

Boston College Eagles at Florida State Seminoles – Open: -20, Move: -17

The Seminoles are being faded at home against an upset-minded Eagles side that already stunned Southern Cal this season. Early money trimmed a field goal off this spread, which is still a mountain of chalk for FSU to climb with the way it’s been playing.

“Florida State isn’t blowing people out like it did last season,” says Kaminsky. “They’ve even had to come back a couple of times, too. They’ve won only two games by more than 17 points, which happens to be the spread for this game. This looks like the right number.”

Louisville Cardinals at Notre Dame Fighting Irish – Open: -4.5, Move: -3

After falling apart against Northwestern for their third loss in the last four games, bettors are fading the Fighting Irish before their showdown with USC next week. On top of that, QB Everett Golson is nursing a shoulder injury suffered in the 43-40 loss to the Wildcats but is listed as probable against the fifth-ranked defense in the country.

“Notre Dame hasn’t played to the potential that everyone thought they would this season,” Kaminsky says. “Louisville really only has one bad loss, coming to Florida State, and I thought they were going to win that game. They were leading in the first half (21-0).”

Oklahoma State Cowboys at Baylor Bears – Open: -25.5, Move: -29

The Cowboys are without QB Dax Garman due to a concussion, putting the ball in the hands of true freshman backup Mason Rudolph when the Pokes head to Waco this weekend. Oklahoma State seems like it’s bringing a knife to a gun fight against the most powerful offense in college football.

“They’d have big problems even if he did play,” Kaminsky says of Garman and the Cowboys. “Baylor is going to have no trouble scoring points. It’s just a matter of if they can cover this big spread. They’re averaging 50 points a game, so in hindsight this looks like a weak opening line.”

Boise State Broncos at Wyoming Cowboys – Open: +14, Move: +12

Boise State has won five in a row heading to Wyoming in Week 13, a week before an important matchup with Utah State in the season finale. The Broncos have the 16th best passing game in the country – tossing it for 300 yards per game – but could run into an unstoppable foe Saturday. And it’s not Wyoming.

“The forecast is calling for it to be quiet windy in Wyoming Saturday night,” says Kaminsky. “Boise State could have a tough time passing the ball if it is.”

The forecast for War Memorial Stadium in Laramie is calling for winds upwards of 32 mph and a chance of snow later in the evening.

Game of the Day: USC at UCLA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

USC Trojans at UCLA Bruins (-4, 61)

The path hasn’t been as smooth as expected, but No. 12 UCLA controls its own destiny heading into Saturday’s Pac-12 South showdown against visiting USC. The Bruins rebounded from back-to-back losses against Utah and Oregon with four straight wins and can secure a spot in the Pac-12 championship game by defeating No. 24 USC and Stanford. UCLA has won the last two meetings against USC, which can clinch the division with a win over the Bruins and one Arizona State loss in its final two games.

The crosstown rivalry game features two of the top quarterbacks in the league in UCLA’s Brett Hundley and USC’s Cody Kessler, who is connecting on 70 percent of his passes while throwing 29 touchdowns and just three interceptions. The Trojans’ stellar defensive line needs to pressure Hundley, who threw for 302 yards and accounted for four TDs in last week’s 44-30 win over Washington. After allowing 23 sacks in their first five games, the Bruins have permitted eight in their past five contests.

TV: 8 ET, ABC

LINE HISTORY: The opening line saw UCLA -3 where it stayed until Tuesday when it jumped to -3.5. By Friday afternoon, the Bruins were -4. The opening total of 61 has yet to move.

INJURY REPORT: USC - LB J.R. Tavai (Prob-Knee), FB Soma Vainuku (Prob-Undisclosed), CB Josh Shaw (Ques-Suspension) UCLA - FB Nate Iese (Ques-Shoulder)

WEATHER OUTLOOK: Yet another good night of football at the Rose Bowl. The skies are expected to be partly cloudy with light winds blowing no more than 2 mph.

ABOUT NO. 24 USC (7-3 SU, 6-4 ATS, 4-6 O/U): Kessler has one of the best targets in the country in wide receiver Nelson Agholor, who was named Pac-12 offensive player of the week after catching a career-best 16 passes for 216 yards with two touchdowns in a 38-30 win over California. USC is averaging a Pac-12-high 9.2 penalties and saw three touchdowns called back against the Golden Bears. Versatile safety Su'a Cravens has 14 tackles for loss to lead the Trojans, who rank second in the Pac-12 in scoring defense (23.3 points per game).

ABOUT NO. 12 UCLA (8-2 SU, 3-7 ATS, 4-5-1 O/U): Hundley has sparked the Bruins’ surge with five rushing scores in the last five games, while wide receiver Jordan Payton has a team-high 58 receptions and seven touchdowns. Running back Paul Perkins averages a league-high 6.2 yards per carry and ranks second behind USC’s Javorius Allen with an average of 117.2 yards on the ground. Linebacker Eric Kendricks has eight double-digit tackle games this season to lead the defense, which held Arizona to seven points two weeks ago.

TRENDS:

*Trojans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win.
*Bruins are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a bye week.
*Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.
*Trojans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in UCLA.

Saturday, November 22


Rain, high winds expected for Penn State-Illinois

Mixed precipitation is expected to fall Friday through Saturday in Champaign causing field issues for the Penn State-Illinois game. Come kickoff, the weather is expected to be cloudy with an 80 percent chance of rain in the forecast with winds gusting as high as 28 mph.

The Fighting Illini are currently 6.5-point home dogs and the total sits at 45.5.


Rain/snow mix expected to affect Rutgers-MSU

East Lansing will not be the prettiest place for a football game Saturday. Throughout the morning the weather is expected to snow before turning into a snow/rain mix in the late hours of the morning. Rain is expected to continue to fall throughout the remainder of the afternoon for the Rutgers-Michigan State game.

The Spartans are currently 22-point home faves with a total resting at 57.


Kansas-Oklahoma play in possible thundershowers

Norman will certainly be seeing rain Saturday, but there is a possibility of thundershowers that could affect the Kansas-Oklahoma game. Rain is expected to start Friday evening and continue through the game Saturday, with a high humidity in the 97 percent range.

Rain is supposed to amount to 5-10 mm over the next 24 hours.

The Sooners are currently 25-point favorites with a total of 53.


Freezing rain in Western and Central Michigan

Central Michigan will host Western Michigan with Kelly/Shorts Stadium at least wet from rain, but temperatures are going to be near freezing in the morning causing chances of ice accumulation. Wind is not expected to affect the game severely, with winds consistently around 7 mph.

The game is currently a pick-em with a total of 52.5.


Well-rounded offense carrying Michigan State

The Michigan State Spartans have been a very balanced squad this season - a large reason why they're sitting at No. 9 in the country as the college football campaign begins to draw to a close.

The Spartans are averaging 245.9 yards rushing/game this year and 268.1 yards per game passing. Twelve different offensive players have accounted to score touchdowns for the squad, including 10 with at least two touchdowns.

Rutgers invades East Lansing for a date with Michigan State Saturday. The Crimson Nights are presently +22 road dogs with the total sitting at 57.


Marshall lighting up scoreboard this season

When you're preparing to watch a Marshall contest, there's one thing you're guaranteed to see: Offense.

The Thundering Herd rank No. 1 nationally with a 30.8-point scoring margin. They're also the only team in the FBS to score at least 35 points in each of its games this season.

Alabama-Birmingham welcomes Marshall into town in college football action Saturday. The Herd are listed as 20-point road faves with an O/U of 68 for the affair.


Georgia dominating non-SEC competition under Richt

To say Georgia has been dominant against teams outside of their own conference under the direction of head coach Mark Richt would be a massive understatement.

The Bulldogs are 54-10 straight up against squads from outside the SEC with Richt in charge, including a fantastic 38-1 record at home.

Richt's crew finds themselves at home against another non-SEC opponent Saturday - Charleston Southern. The line for the contest is currently off the board.


Close games becoming the norm for Minnesota

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have been participating in a lot of close games this season - something bettors backing the spread in their matchups need to be aware of.

Two of Minny's four Big Ten victories have been by seven or fewer points, while both of the Golden Gophers' conference losses have been by a touchdown or less.

No. 19 Nebraska welcomes Minnesota to town in Week 13 NCAAF action Saturday. The Cornhuskers are presently 10-point home faves for the affair.

NCAAF Opening Line Report: Big spreads for college football's biggest rivalries

This week’s college football slate makes a complete 180-degree turn from last week, which was loaded with rather meaningless matchups. Thanksgiving weekend brings a buffet of big contests that will go a long way toward determining which teams make the inaugural four-team playoff.

And of course, the SEC will have the main course, with two key contests, headlined by Alabama playing host to archrival Auburn in the Iron Bowl. The Crimson Tide (10-1 SU, 3-8 ATS) are coming off a 48-14 rout of FCS foe Western Carolina, though they fell well short of covering as massive 50.5-point favorites, leaving them tied with several teams for the second-worst ATS record in the Nation.

Auburn (8-3 SU, 4-7 ATS), which had its playoff hopes sunk in by back-to-back losses to Texas A&M and Georgia, also had a lightweight foe last weekend, dropping Samford 31-7 as an even bigger chalk than ‘Bama – 59.5 points.

“We opened Alabama -9.5 and there hasn’t been too much movement,” Scott Kaminsky of the TheGreek.com, tells Covers. “In a game like this, it doesn’t matter what the records are. Each team wants to go away with a victory. But I don’t think this one goes above -9.5. I’ll take a stab and say it will stay in single digits.”

In last year’s Iron Bowl, Auburn won 34-28 by returning a missed field goal the length of the field for a touchdown on the last play of the game.

Mississippi State Bulldogs (-1) at Mississippi Rebels

Mississippi State has just one loss, and a respectable one at that, falling at Alabama two weekends ago. The Bulldogs (10-1 SU, 7-4 ATS) still have a very good chance to reach the four-team playoff and are coming off a 51-0 shellacking of Vanderbilt laying 29.5 points at home.

Meanwhile, Mississippi (8-3, 6-4-1 ATS) can only play spoiler in the annual Egg Bowl. The Rebels were coming off a bye before traveling to Arkansas on Saturday, yet got blasted by the Razorbacks 30-0 as a 3-point fave.

“Mississippi State opened as a 1-point road favorite,” says Kaminsky. “Ole Miss had a horrible game last week. They looked so good to start out but just bit the bullet, and lost three of their last four.”

Michigan Wolverines at Ohio State Buckeyes (-20)

No matter the situation, this game is big every year. But it’s far more important for Ohio State (10-1 SU, 7-4 ATS), which has a shot at the playoff. The Buckeyes struggled to put away Indiana on Saturday, winning 42-27 while failing to cash as 36.5-point favorites.

Michigan (5-6 SU, 4-7 ATS) is playing out the string under likely-to-be-fired coach Brady Hoke. The Wolverines were 6-point home chalk against Maryland, but lost outright 23-16.

“I can’t see anyway (Michigan) wins this game,” says Kaminsky, who opened Ohio State as a 20-point favorite. “They’re playing a team that is so much better than them. So many times, it’s the last game of the season and last game for the seniors or the coach. But there’s one thing you always have to bring to the table and that’s talent. And (Michigan) doesn’t have a lot of talent. If they cover the spread, they will have done well. Not in their eyes, but they would’ve done well.”

Oregon Ducks (-20) at Oregon State Beavers

A look at the records would have one think that Oregon (10-1 SU, 7-4 ATS) should roll, but this rivalry game is often tight. Last year, also in Corvallis, the Ducks held on for a 36-35 win giving 24 points.

Oregon is coming off a 44-10 home win and cover against Colorado laying 32.5 points, while the Beavers (5-6 SU, 3-8 ATS) – coming off an upset of Arizona State – got bounced at Washington 37-13 catching 6.5 points.

“This is the same scenario as the Michigan-Ohio State game. Almost the same spread,” says Kaminsky, who opened Oregon -21 and moved to -20 with early money the underdog. “Oregon just beats up on people and they’ll beat up on Oregon State. The Beavers want to beat Oregon bad, but they just don’t have the talent.”

Game of the Day: Ohio at Miami (Ohio)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ohio Bobcats vs. Miami (Ohio) RedHawks (+2.5, OFF)

Tuesday night MACtion brings a rivalry game as Miami (Ohio) takes on the Ohio Bobcats in a conference game that is extremely important for Ohio as they look to get to six wins and an outside chance of bowl eligibility while Miami look to get a win over the in-state rivals as a way of getting a moral victory on what has been a long season for the RedHawks who are 2-9 going into Tuesday's clash.

Ohio did their best to stay in the MAC East race for as long as possible, but at 3-4 the dream of an improbable title game berth was dashed as Bowling Green has clinched their spot in the game with a 5-2 record. However they will have an outside chance at getting a bowl bid if they can beat the RedHawks in a game that the Bobcats won easily last season in a 41-16 blowout.

The RedHawks will remember that blowout on their home turf as they host the Bobcats for a second straight year, but five straight losses will present a momentum challenge for Miami (Ohio). If they are to upset the Bobcats goal of reaching the magic number of six points, they will need to turn things around in their 2014 finale in a big way.

TV: 7:00 p.m. E.T.

LINE HISTORY: The line has fluctuated between 1.5 and 2 depending on the book with the O/U off the board at the time of writing.

INJURY REPORT: Ohio: WR Brendan Cope, S Nathan Carpenter, TE Brennan Borland, and WR Papi White are the questionables for the Bobcats. Miami-Ohio: LB Kent Kern is the only questionable player on the Redhawks injury report going into Tuesday.

WEATHER REPORT: The forecast is calling for a chilly, cloudy evening in Oxford with temperatures of 30 degrees Fahrenheit expected at kickoff.

ABOUT OHIO: (5-6, 5-6 ATS, 3-8 O/U): The Bobcats are very much a home team, which makes things tricky for Ohio backers looking to take advantage of the slim -2 line for the 5-6 team Tuesday. Ohio are just 1-4 ATS away from home, and are just 2-3 which is why they are still chasing a sixth win while being out of the MAC East race going into the final week. A low scoring team at 20.2 points per game, the Bobcats lack of ability in putting the ball into the endzone is a big reason why they are 8-3 on Unders in 2014.

Running back AJ Oullette is the player to watch on offense for the Bobcats as he leads Ohio in touchdowns with nine, rushing for 689 yards which is less impressive, but if Ohio are going to win they will need Oullette to find the endzone on a few occasions to get the rivalry game win.

ABOUT MIAMI (OHIO) (2-9, 7-4 ATS, 5-6 O/U): The RedHawks come into their final game of the season as a team that covers often despite being one of the worst teams in the NCAA in the wins department. Most of Miami (Ohio)'s covers have came as underdogs of 10 or more, but they have got the job done as five point faves against Kent State and will look to do so as less than a field goal underdogs in their home finale against the Bobcats.

Despite not getting wins, the RedHawks are 21st in the country in passing yard average, augmented by soon to be 1000 yard wide receiver David Frazier who needs 99 yards to get to the magic number and will likely receiver plenty of targets from quarterback Andrew Hendrix. Hendrix has matched a magic number himself already, reaching 3000 yards going into the regular season finale at 3062 passing yards. If the RedHawks are to upset their Ohio rivals they will need a big game from their quarterback.

TRENDS:

Miami (Ohio) are 3-1 ATS in their last four games, with the Under going 3-1 in that same span.
Ohio haven't broken 21 points in their last three games, winning just one of those two contests.
Ohio are 3-0 as favorites in 2014.

RedHawks covering with ease despite dropping games

The Miami (Ohio) RedHawks have not been a productive moneyline team this season (2-9 straight up) but they have provided some excellent spread value as of late.

The RedHawks are 4-1 against the spread heading into their Rivalry Week matchup against Ohio Tuesday.

Oddsmakers presently have the Bobcats as 2.5-point road faves for the contest.


Chilly, but clear night in Oxford for MAC action

It's going to be a chilly night in Oxford Tuesday for the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks' matchup against the Ohio Bobcats for Rivalry Week.

At kickoff, a temperature of roughly 30 degrees Fahrenheit is expected for gametime. It doesn't look like the elements will have much of an affect, however, as forecasts are calling for little wind and a zero percent of precipitation as of Monday evening.

The Bobcats are presently -2.5 road faves for the all-Ohio affair.
