NCAAF opening line report: Showdown of SEC unbeatens features massive spread

“We can’t seem to set spreads high enough lately, and this one is shaded toward Alabama again, hoping to see some money on the underdog."

There’s a huge college football showdown brewing in the Southeastern Conference. But you sure wouldn’t know it from the pointspread. We talk about a few key Week 8 opening lines with John Lester, senior lines manager for offshore sportsbook Bookmaker.eu.

No. 6 Texas A&M Aggies at No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (-16.5)

Alabama appears to be both the immovable object and the unstoppable force this season. The Crimson Tide (7-0 SU, 5-2 ATS) went to No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday and boatraced the Vols 49-10 as a 14-point favorite. ‘Bama has now won 19 in a row (12-7 ATS).

Texas A&M is coming off its bye week after also besting Tennessee. The Aggies (6-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) blew a big lead and were forced to overtime by the Vols, but came out with a 45-38 home victory as a 7.5-point chalk on Oct. 8.

Last year, the Tide beat the Aggies 41-23 laying 5 points on the road, and two years ago in Tuscaloosa, Alabama hammered A&M 59-0 giving 11 points.

“It’s hard not to love this Crimson Tide team. They seemingly do everything right on both sides of the ball,” Lester said, alluding to Alabama’s 11 non-offensive touchdowns this season. “We can’t seem to set spreads high enough lately, and this one is shaded toward Alabama again, hoping to see some money on the underdog. The Aggies should be their toughest test to date.”

Miami Hurricanes at Virginia Tech Hokies (-4)

Both these teams were ranked last week, but no longer. Miami (4-2 SU and ATS) has dropped two in a row SU and ATS, both on its home field. After a 20-19 loss to Florida State laying 1.5 points, the Hurricanes were dealt a 20-13 upset giving 6 points on Saturday.

It was much worse Saturday for Virginia Tech, which was a massive 23-point chalk at Syracuse and lost outright 31-17, ending a three-game SU and ATS win streak for the Hokies (4-2 SU and ATS).

“Here are two teams that are tough to get a good gauge on,” Lester said. “Both offenses are enigmatic. The Hurricanes are hurting defensively due to injuries, and the Hokies’ loss on Saturday was shocking. This spread mostly comes down to a good home-field edge at Lane Stadium in prime-time football.”

Indeed, it’s a Thursday night game, meaning the ‘Canes also have to travel on a short week.

No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes at Penn State Nittany Lions (+18.5)

Ohio State remained spotless at 7-0 SU by outlasting No. 10 Wisconsin 30-23 in overtime Saturday, though the Buckeyes (4-2 ATS) couldn’t cover the 10-point spread. Not that it affected this week’s line, as they are massive favorites at Happy Valley.

Penn State (4-2 SU, 2-3-1 ATS) has won two in a row, both at home, and is coming off its bye week. The Nittany Lions routed Maryland 38-14 as a 2-point home ‘dog on Oct. 8.

“It will be interesting to see how this line is shaped over the course of the week,” Lester said. “We’re obviously expecting to see the squares on Ohio State, but we opened lower than some other shops due to the expectance of some value players betting on a home ‘dog that hasn’t been a poor program this season.”

No. 22 Mississippi Rebels at No. 23 Louisiana State Tigers (-4)

LSU is 2-0 SU and ATS since Les Miles was fired and Ed Orgeron took over as interim coach. On Saturday, the Tigers (4-2 SU, 2-4 ATS) waxed Southern Mississippi 45-10, easily cashing as 24.5-point home faves. Mississippi (3-3 SU and ATS) went into Arkansas as a 10-point chalk and left with a 34-30 loss on Saturday.

Despite each teams’ current form, Lester still likes Mississippi, which has had a couple heartbreaking losses this season, blowing big leads to Alabama and Florida State.

“LSU hasn’t really done anything impressive since the Orgeron regime took over,” Lester said. “On the flip side, Ole Miss has shown a lot of character despite the season it’s having. You get the feeling the Rebels are due for a win.”

Sharps are closely monitoring these Week 8 college football games

The Mountaineers are a strong offensive team that is averaging 32.8 points and 534 total yards per game this season.

Spread to bet now

Army Black Knights (-18.5) vs. North Texas Mean Green

This line opened -17 and was quickly bet higher. Army is a perfect 2-0 SU/ATS at home this season, including an easy 62-7 win versus Lafayette last week as a 33.5-point favorite. The Black Knights held an incredible 537-10 rushing yards advantage. Overall this season, Army's option offense has run the ball on 87% of their offensive plays for 82% of their total offensive yards.

North Texas is 3-3 SU this season, but their three losses have come by an average of 21 points per game. The Mean Green has struggled to stop the run on the road this year, allowing 255 rushing yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry. Overall, North Texas is permitting 33.5 points per game away from home.

Spread to wait on

Missouri Tigers (-6.5) vs. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders

Some early money pushed Missouri to the key number of -7, but the line has now started to decline to -6.5 and even -6 at some sportsbooks. The betting public will not be very interested in backing a Missouri squad that just went 0-2 SU/ATS at LSU and Florida. However, those blowout losses will actually ensure a focused effort for the Tigers who are now taking a step down in class against a non-conference opponent.

Middle Tennessee is coming off a double-overtime 44-43 loss versus Western Kentucky in which the Blue Raiders had their extra point blocked in the second overtime. It was a very important game in Conference USA and such a tough loss might actually leave the Blue Raiders a little flat this week. It was an offensive shootout as Middle Tennessee held a 605-521 total yard edge. However, they will now be taking a big step up in class versus a SEC opponent in Missouri that has allowed just 16.3 points per game and only 4.1 yards per play at home this season.

Total to watch

TCU Horned Frogs at West Virginia Mountaineers (66)

West Virginia enters this game with a perfect 5-0 SU record after an impressive 48-17 road win at Texas Tech last week. The most impressive aspect was holding an explosive Red Raiders' offense to just 17 total points. A little surprising though as Texas Tech did throw for 345 yards in that game. West Virginia also had the advantage of a bye week and extra preparation time. The Mountaineers are a strong offensive team that is averaging 32.8 points and 534 total yards per game this season.

TCU enters this game off a bye week after playing a 24-23 game at Kansas in which the teams combined for 8 turnovers. It was TCU's worst offensive showing this season and the Horned Frogs should bounce back with a better effort now, especially with an extra week to prepare. Overall this season, TCU is averaging 40.2 points and 531 total yards per game on offense.

College football Game of the Day: BYU at Boise State
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sophomore quarterback Brett Rypien leads the Mountain West with 1,622 yards and 12 touchdown passes.

Bringham Young Cougars at Boise State Broncos (-6.5, 57.5)

Brigham Young used a miracle ending to defeat Boise State last season and the Cougars are looking to post their fourth straight win of the current campaign when they visit the No. 14 Broncos on Thursday. Boise State was one defensive stop from taking last year's encounter when BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum threw a 35-yard, fourth-down pass to Mitchell Juergens to give the Cougars a four-point lead with 45 seconds left and safety Kai Nacua added an interception return for a 35-24 victory.

The Broncos covet a victory over the Cougars to improve their odds of landing a Cotton Bowl bid as the top team from a non-power conference. Last season's comeback by BYU furthered the growing rivalry between the schools located about 380 miles apart who are in the midst of a 12-game series that runs through 2023. "They are a tough opponent and we are going to have to play our best," Cougars coach Kalani Sitake said at a press conference. "We look forward to playing our best and see if we can get it done up there." Boise State senior receiver Thomas Sperbeck needs just 34 receiving yards to supplant Titus Young (3,063 from 2007-10) as the school's all-time leader.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, ESPN.

WEATHER: Fall is in the air. Partly coudly skies and temperatures in the low-50's (dropping to the upper-40's) will greet these two teams at Albertsons Stadium. Wind will not be a factor.

LINE HISTORY: Boise State opened the betting week as 7.5-point favorites. Early in the week the point spread wobbled between the opening number of -7.5 and -7 before dropping down to -6.5 on Thursday morning. The total opened at 57.5 and hasn't moved since being released. View complete line history here.

INJURY REPORT:

Bringham Young - DL M. Taliauli (Ques Thurs, undisclosed), OL T. Shoaf (Ques Thurs, undisclosed), OL K. Johnson (Ques Thurs, academics), LB S. Takitaki (Ques Thurs, undisclosed), OL B. Wilcox (Ques Thurs, undisclosed), DB G. Jones (Ques Thurs, upper body), K J. Oldroyd (Ques Thurs, back), OL U. Lapuaho (Out Indefinitely, knee).

Boise State - WR C. Wilson (Ques Thurs, ankle), OL M. Hampton (Ques Thurs, undisclosed), S S. Seibold (Out For Season, knee), S E. Tyler (Out For Season, knee).

ABOUT BYU (4-3 SU, 5-2 ATS, 2-5 O/U): Senior quarterback Taysom Hill threw three touchdown passes in Friday's 28-21 double-overtime victory over Mississippi State and has accounted for 13 touchdowns (nine passing, four rushing) this season. Senior running back Jamaal Williams (3,468) became the school's all-time rushing list in the Mississippi State contest - surpassing Harvey Unga (3,455 from 2006-09) - and has rushed for 942 yards (second-most nationally) and 10 touchdowns this season. Nacua, a senior, is tied for the national lead with five interceptions and has 13 in his career while sophomore linebacker Francis Bernard (48 tackles) racked up a career-best 16 tackles against the Bulldogs.

ABOUT BOISE STATE (6-0 SU, 2-4 ATS, 2-4 O/U): Junior running back Jeremy McNichols carried 40 times for a career-best 217 yards - the second 200-yard game of his career - in Saturday's 28-23 victory over Colorado State and has scored 14 touchdowns (11 rushing, three receiving). Sophomore quarterback Brett Rypien leads the Mountain West with 1,622 yards and 12 touchdown passes and has built a solid rapport with Sperbeck, who has 38 receptions (six for touchdowns) to go with a Mountain West-leading 701 receiving yards. Senior defensive end Sam McCaskill has emerged as a force and leads the Mountain West with 9.5 tackles for loss, and his five sacks are second on the team behind sophomore nose tackle David Moa (5.5).

TRENDS:

* Cougars are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.
* Broncos are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games.
* Over is 7-1 in Cougars last 8 vs. MWC.
* Under is 9-1 in Broncos last 10 home games.
* Cougars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

CONSENSUS: 56 percent of side bets are on BYU to cover the spread as road underdogs with 60 percent of totals bets on the Over.

TCU won three of its last four games with West Virginia, winning 31-30/39-38 in last two visits to Morgantown. Underdogs covered three of last four series games. Pass-happy WV had less than 170 PY vs Horned Frogs last two years. TCU had last week off after getting outgained by 104 yards in a shaky 24-23 win over dismal Kansas; since 2009, Frogs are 10-2 as road underdogs. West Virginia won its last two home games by total of four points but had big 48-17 win at Texas Tech LW. WV is 10-17 as a home favorite under Holgorsen. Big X home favorites are 6-4 this year.

Northwestern scored 92 points in road wins at Iowa/Michigan State in its last two games; odd thing is, they’re 1-3 at home, with a loss to a I-AA team. Wildcats won four in row, eight of their last nine games with Indiana; Hoosiers lost its last six visits to Evanston, with four of last five losses by 7 or less points.

Favorites covered five of last six series games. WSU won its last four games after an 0-2 start; with a win at Stanford. Coogs are 1-2 as home favorites under Leach. Sun Devils allowed 35.5 pts/game, 545.8 yds/game last four weeks, losing two of last three- ASU is 7-3-1 in last 11 games as a home dog, 2-0 this season- they’re 3-0 at home vs I-A teams. Pac-12 home underdogs are 6-3 against the spread.

Oklahoma QB Mayfield started his college career as a walk-on at Texas Tech, left when they did not give him a scholarship. Sooners are 12-4 in its last 16 games with Tech, winning last four (3-1 vs spread); they won 42-30/41-20 in last two visits to Lubbock. Oklahoma scored 45 pts/game in winning last three games after a 1-2 start- they’re 7-3 in last ten games as a road fave, 1-1 this year. Red Raiders gave up 563 rushing yards, 92 points in losing last two games; they got drilled 48-17 at home by West Va LW. Tech is 4-3 as a home underdog under Kingsbury.

Texas allowed 48 pts/game in losing all three games away from Austin this year; they’re 1-5 as road underdogs under Strong. Wildcats allowed 901 PY in its last two games; their QB Ertz got hurt LW- backup QB isn’t good enough to exploit Texas’ shaky pass defense. K-State is 1-4 in its last five games as a home favorite- they scored 17 or less points in their three losses this year.

Colorado is having a breakthrough year at 5-2, with losses at Michigan/USC; they ran ball for 247+ yards in the wins, were held under 100 RY in losses.

Home side won six of last seven Ole Miss-LSU games; underdogs are 7-3 vs spread in last ten series games. Rebels lost six of last seven visits to Baton Rouge, losing last three by 3-6-7 points. Tigers won last two games 42-7/45-10 since the coaching change, but that was against cruddy teams- Ole Miss is team that Orgeron used to coach, so you know this means extra to him, and he is emotional on a normal day. Rebels lost first true road game 34-30 LW at Arkanas; Ole Miss allowed 200+ RY in four of last five games, bad news with Fournette expected back here.

Arkansas allowed 79 points in splitting last two games vs Bama/Ole Miss; Hogs beat TCU 41-38 in their only true road game this year. Arkansas covered its last six games as a road underdog. Auburn is 4-10 in its last 14 games as a home favorite; they held LSU/Miss State to 27 points in last two SEC games, but is their offense good enough to cover a big spread? SEC home favorites are 9-4 against the spread. Home team won five of last seven Auburn-Arkansas games; favorites covered last three series games. Razorbacks are 5-4 in last nine visits here.

Alabama is so much better than everyone else; they ran ball for 702 yards the last couple weeks, winning 49-30/49-10 at Arkansas/Tennessee.

College football four-point stance: Week 8 pointspread picks and predictions

Joe Fortenbaugh stumbled with a 1-3 ATS record in Week 7, sitting at 15-13 ATS for the season. He gives his four favorite plays for this Saturday's college football action.

Let’s get this out of the way now so that I can move forward with what will be a much-needed therapy session: I’m picking against Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide this weekend.

Blasphemy!

Yes, I know exactly what I’m getting myself into. Alabama has lost only 12 games since 2008 while claiming four SEC titles and four national championships. In addition, the Tide enter Saturday’s matchup with Texas A&M off a complete and utter 49-10 road annihilation of a Tennessee program that, just two weeks ago, was the undefeated toast of the country… before it ran into the Aggies.

But I still like Kevin Sumlin’s undefeated (6-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) Aggies this Saturday in Tuscaloosa. Well, at least as far as the spread (+18.5) is concerned.

For starters, Texas A&M is off a bye week, so Sumlin has had two weeks to get ready for a hostile Bryant-Denny Stadium that he silenced in a 29-24 upset victory of the Tide back in 2012.

That bye week nugget is important because Saban is just 8-15-1 ATS during the regular season against conference opposition that is .500 or better and coming off a bye.

Also note that Texas A&M’s last visit to Bryant-Denny resulted in a 59-0 bloodbath defeat, so there’s no doubt in my mind that Sumlin has spent the last two weeks reminding his players of that specific game.

Now, could you please pass me the Pepto-Bismol.

Pick: Texas A&M +18.5

Colorado Buffaloes at Stanford Cardinal

When: Saturday, October 22 at 3:00 p.m. ET
Spread: Stanford -2

Even Heisman hopeful Christian McCaffrey, who did not play at Notre Dame last week and is questionable for Saturday’s meeting with Colorado due to an undisclosed injury, can’t save the Cardinal offense from a Buffaloes defense. Colorado is permitting an average of just 20 points per game this season.

Erratic quarterback play has doomed Stanford with the Cardinal scoring just 13 points per game over their last three outings - two of which were losses at Washington (44-6) and against Washington State (42-16).

Meanwhile, Colorado has covered the spread in every single game this season and is making a serious run at claiming the program’s first Pac-12 championship in school history.

Colorado is 8-0 ATS over its last eight games overall, 5-0 ATS over its last five conference matchups and 4-0 ATS over its last four road dates.

Pick: Colorado +2

Oregon State Beavers at Washington Huskies

When: Saturday, October 22 at 6:30 p.m. ET
Total: 54.0

Forget about Oregon State’s lackluster offense (25.2 points per game) and the fact that it will most likely rain in Seattle on Saturday night, as there are only two things you need to know about this matchup, and both have to do with Washington making a statement.

First, the undefeated and red-hot Huskies (6-0 SU, 4-2 ATS) currently find themselves ranked fifth in the Associated Press poll behind Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan and Clemson, so the current feeling in the Pacific Northwest may be that Chris Petersen’s Washington program needs to embrace “style points” in an effort to sway the voters into a more favorable ranking.

Second, quarterback Jake Browning currently finds himself listed at 8/1 to win the Heisman Trophy at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, so any additional “stat padding” couldn’t hurt in the signal-caller’s quest to upend Louisville’s Lamar Jackson in the race for college football’s ultimate individual prize.

The Huskies are averaging 49.5 points per game this season and have cashed Over tickets in eight of their last nine outings. Further, the Over is 5-0 in Washington’s last five conference encounters and 5-1 in the team’s last six home dates. Don’t be shocked if the Huskies top the 54 point total by themselves on Saturday night.

Pick: Over 54

Wyoming Cowboys at Nevada Wolf Pack

When: Saturday, October 22 at 10:30 p.m. ET
Spread: Wyoming -4

Washington’s Chris Petersen gets all the attention and affection when it comes to college football head coaches who have taken a sizeable step forward in Year 3 of their respective tenures, but don’t sleep on Wyoming’s Craig Bohl, who is poised to lead the Cowboys to just their third winning season since 2005.

Wyoming is coming off a well-earned bye week after commencing conference play with impressive upsets of Colorado State (38-17) as 5.5-point underdogs and Air Force (35-26) as 13.5-point underdogs.

Nevada, which is an abysmal 0-4 ATS over its last four games overall, is next. The Wolf Pack are just 8-20 ATS over their last 28 games played in the month of October and have dropped three of their last four outings, with the program’s lone win coming against a horrific Fresno State team (27-22) as 8.5-point favorites.

This game will feature a tale of two vastly different offenses, as the Cowboys are averaging a robust 35.5 points per game over their last four outings, while the Wolf Pack are averaging an anemic 17 points over their last four contests. Expect Bohl and his resurgent Wyoming program to climb one step closer toward bowl eligibility this weekend.

Pick: Wyoming -4

Last week: 1-3 ATS
Season: 15-13 ATS

NCAAF Game of the Day: Oregon at California
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Oregon meets Cal Friday night it will be with the highest total on record. The number is currently 89.5.

Oregon Ducks at California Golden Bears (-3, 89.5)

Two of the most disappointing teams in the Pac-12 meet Friday as Oregon visits California, which is looking to bounce back from a surprising 47-44 overtime loss at Oregon State on Oct. 8. The Ducks are off to their worst start in 30 years and bring a four-game losing streak into the contest, but they’ve won their last seven straight matchups against Cal.

Oregon appeared to be a team in disarray following the Washington rout two weeks ago, when the Ducks allowed Huskies quarterback Jake Browning to throw for 304 yards and a school-record six touchdowns. “We’ve got some guys on our team who are busting their tails to win and other guys on our team that don’t even care if we win or lose,” senior offensive lineman Cameron Hunt told the Register-Guard. “I don’t think everyone is bought-in.” The Ducks will look to come together against the inconsistent Golden Bears, who beat Texas and Utah but allowed Oregon State to rush for 474 yards and record its first conference win in nearly two years. Friday’s contest figures to feature plenty of offense with both teams allowing at least 40 points per game while ranked among the worst in the country in several defensive categories.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: Cal opened as 2.5-point home favorites and have been bet up to -3. The total is the remarkable number here, with oddsmakers opening it at a sky high 87.5 and bettors haven't thought that was high enough, moving the line number up to 89.5. It is the highest total in ever. Check out the complete line history here.

WEATHER REPORT: It should be a beautiful night for football in Berkley, California. The forecast is calling for clear skies with temperatures in the low 60's for the game. There will be a slight five-to-six ile per hour wind gusting towards the southest end zone early on, but shuold die off as teh game goes along.

INJURY REPORT:

Oregon - RB R. Freeman (probable Friday, leg), DL J. Jelks (questionable Friday, knee), OL Z. Okun (questionable Friday, concussion), WR D. Stanford (doubtful Friday, undisclosed).

Cal - WR C. Hansen (probable Friday, foot), QB D. Webb (probable Friday, hand), DTnL. Bequette (out for season, knee), RB V. Enwere (out for season, knee).

ABOUT OREGON (2-4, 0-5-1 ATS, 4-2 O/U): Freshman quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to make his second career start after completing 62 percent of his passes and throwing for 179 yards and a pair of touchdowns with one interception against the stellar Washington defense. The Ducks boast the league’s top running game at 257.8 yards per game, and Friday’s gameplan figures to be filled with a heavy dose of Royce Freeman, Tony Brooks-James and Jarret LaCoste against the porous Cal run defense. Oregon has a number of freshmen starting on both sides of the ball, including linebacker Troy Dye, who ranks second on the team with 30 tackles.

ABOUT CAL (3-3, 3-3 ATS, 5-1 O/U): Last week’s bye came at a good time for quarterback Davis Webb, who averages 376 passing yards with 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions but was limited against Oregon State with a hand injury. Webb is expected to start against Oregon along with receiver Chad Hansen, a former walk-on who has 59 catches for 770 yards and eight touchdowns and hopes to play through an ankle injury. While the defense continues to struggle without several injured starters, Cal featured a balanced offensive attack against Oregon State as Tre Watson and Khalfani Muhammad rushed for a combined 299 yards.

TRENDS:

* Oregon is 0-7-1 ATS in its last eight games overall.
* Cal is 1-6 ATS in its last seven home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
* Over is 6-0 in Oregon's last six conference games.
* Over is 7-1 in Cal's last eight games overall.

CONSENSUS: The public is strongly backing Cal in this Pac-12 matchup, with 70 percent of wagers on the Golden Bears. As for the total, with a number so high the public is on the Under. Sixty-one percent of wagers are on the Under.

Saturday's NCAAF Top 25 betting cheat sheet and odds: Week 8

The UCLA Bruins were the preseason pick to win the South Division this season, but instead have lost three of their first four in conference play.

North Carolina State Wolfpack at No. 7 Louisville Cardinals (-19, 65)

* Ryan Finley has quickly emerged as one of the conference's finest passers despite throwing two interceptions last week - his first two turnovers of the season - to end his streak of not throwing a pick to begin his Wolfpack career at 139 attempts, besting Philip Rivers' previous mark by 40. The sophomore signal-caller has benefited greatly from the presence of 5-11, 223-pound junior tight end Jaylen Samuels, who tied a personal best with eight catches and set another with 100 yards receiving versus Clemson. Matthew Dayes churned out his fifth 100-yard rushing day in six outings this season last weekend while also moving past Torry Holt for sole possession of fourth place on the school's all-time touchdown list with 34.

* Jackson, who has rushed and passed for at least one touchdown in a FBS-best nine consecutive games, leads the nation in TDs scored (15), points scored (90) and points per game (15), and he leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards per game (138.7). Jackson (832 yards rushing) and Brandon Radcliff (534) are both on pace to become the school's first 1,000-yard rusher since Bilal Powell ran for 1,405 in 2010, and Radcliffe's 80-yard TD burst in last week's win was the longest scoring run since Powell's 85-yard scamper six years ago. Defensive tackle Drew Bailey was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week after totaling a career-best 11 tackles (three for loss), matching the most by a Cardinals' defensive lineman since Elvis Dumervil in 2005.

LINE HISTORY: Louisville opened as 18-point home favorites and the spread moved as high as -20 before settling back down to -19. The total opened at 65 and has yet to move. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Wolfpack are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games on fieldturf.
* Cardinals are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
* Over is 4-1 in Wolfpack last 5 games following a straight up loss.
* Over is 6-1 in Cardinals last 7 conference games.

No. 10 Wisconsin Badgers at Iowa Hawkeyes (+3.5, 42.5)

* The Badgers rolled up 236 yards on the ground against Ohio State last week as senior Corey Clement recorded a season-high 164 to push his total to 483 in five games. Hornibrook finished with a career-high 214 yards passing versus the Buckeyes as well and owns a touchdown pass in five straight games, but could be without senior receiver Robert Wheelwright (leg). Junior Jazz Peavy is the top target for the Badgers with 21 receptions for 357 yards and three touchdowns while junior tight end Troy Fumagalli notched seven of his team-high 23 catches last week.

* Wadley (592 yards) and Daniels (589) are both among the top five in the Big Ten in rushing while combining for 14 touchdowns to lead the Hawkeyes’ ground attack. That has been a welcome development after losing top receiver Matt VandeBerg for the season due to injury, and it has given senior quarterback C.J. Beathard some breathing room. Beathard is completing 60.1 percent of his passes with 11 touchdowns through the air and senior Riley McCarron has stepped up to catch 18 balls over the last three games, but tight end George Kittle (arm) is questionable for Saturday.

LINE HISTORY: Wisconsin opened as 3-point road favorites and the line crept higher to 3.5 on Tuesday morning. The total hit the board at 41.5 and went up a full point to 42.5. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Badgers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
* Hawkeyes are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 home games.
* Under is 4-0 in Badgers last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
* Under is 4-1 in Hawkeyes last 5 games on fieldturf.
* Underdog is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

No. 21 North Carolina Tar Heels at Virginia Cavaliers (+9.5, 69)

* Junior quarterback Mitch Trubisky will be without a major weapon Saturday after senior receiver Mack Hollins (20 career touchdown receptions) was lost for the season with a broken collarbone. Trubisky has completed 70.5 percent of his passes with 15 touchdown strikes and senior Ryan Switzer (58 catches, 606 yards) is his favorite target. The Tar Heels gave up 363 yards (54 under its current average) against Miami last week while forcing a fumble, recording two sacks, breaking up five passes and holding the Hurricanes to 4-of-15 on third down.

* The Cavaliers totaled 700 yards through the air in losing the first three games and have registered 1,035 to win two of the past three contests. Benkert owns all but two of the passing yards and has thrown for 14 touchdowns along with seven interceptions while sophomore Olamide Zaccheaus (29 catches, 423 yards, five TDs) and senior Keeon Johnson (31, 305, three) are his top targets. Mendenhall would like to get more from a ground attack that is averaging 3.8 yards per run, but has produced nine touchdowns from seniors Taquan Mizzell and Albert Reid.

LINE HISTORY: North Carolina opened the week as 10-point road favorites. The spread dropped down as low as 7.5 before rebounding to the current number of 9.5. The total began the week at 68 and went up a full point to 69 on Thursday. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Tar Heels are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games in October.
* Cavaliers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 conference games.
* Under is 5-0 in Tar Heels last 5 games in October.
* Over is 4-1 in Cavaliers last 5 vs. a team with a winning record.
* Tar Heels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

Eastern Michigan Eagles at No. 20 Western Michigan Broncos (-23.5, 58.5)

* The Eagles, who were 7-41 from 2012-15, are turning the program around with the help of junior quarterback Brogan Roback and senior defensive end Pat O'Connor. Roback set career highs with 347 yards and 29 completions (39 attempts) while throwing three touchdown passes against Ohio to earn MAC West Division co-Offensive Player of the Week honors with Franklin. O'Connor recorded a sack last week and has 5.5 this season (tied for 24th nationally) and 17 in his career as he poised to break the school record of 17.5 set by Kevin Howe from 2003-06.

* Senior wide receiver Corey Davis is tied for the national lead in touchdown catches with 10 after hauling in a pair versus Akron - his third straight game with multiple TDs - as he winds down his record-setting career. Davis has 279 career receptions and needs 28 to break the school record set by Jordan White from 2007-11. The Broncos already surpassed last season's sack total with 21 - led by senior defensive end Keion Adams' 5.5 - while junior linebacker Robert Spillane, senior safety Justin Ferguson and junior cornerback Darius Phillips have two interceptions apiece.

LINE HISTORY: Western Michigan hit the board at the beginning of the week as 22.5-point home favorites and by Thursday that number was up to -23.5. The total opened at 62 and dropped sharply to 58.5. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Eagles are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
* Broncos are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win.
* Under is 5-0 in Eagles last 5 games overall.
* Over is 9-1-1 in Broncos last 11 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game.

No. 6 Texas A&M Aggies at No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (-18.5, 58.5)

* The Aggies lead the SEC in total offense (532.8 yards per game) and rushing offense (274.3) and will be trying to penetrate an Alabama unit that leads the nation in rushing defense (69.2) and allows just 2.2 yards per carry. Standout freshman running back Trayveon Williams (SEC-leading 704 rushing yards, five touchdowns) has been superb with an 8.6 average per carry while senior quarterback Travis Knight has been effective as both a runner (502 yards, nine scores) and a passer (1,500 yards, nine touchdowns). Junior defensive end Myles Garrett (28 career sacks, team-leading four this season) is getting closer to full strength from an ankle injury and senior strong safety Justin Evans leads Texas A&M with 48 tackles and three interceptions.

* Freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts has become a big-time star and has accounted for 17 touchdowns (nine passing, eight rushing) while passing for 1,385 yards and rushing for 428. Sophomore running back Damien Harris (572 yards) averages an impressive 8.3 yards per carry while sophomore wideout Calvin Ridley has 39 receptions for 477 yards and four touchdowns. Senior defensive end Jonathan Allen has five sacks to raise his career total to 23, two behind second-place Kindal Moorehead (1998-2002) on the Crimson Tide's all-time list while senior safety Eddie Jackson has a superb 25.8 punt-return average and has scored three total touchdowns (two on punt returns, one on an interception).

LINE HISTORY: Alabama opened the week as 17-point home favorites and that spread was up to -18.5 by Thursday. The total opened at 58.5 and hasn't moved all week. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Aggies are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.
* Crimson Tide are 10-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Under is 7-0 in Aggies last 7 road games.
* Under is 4-1 in Crimson Tide last 5 home games.

Texas Christian Horned Frogs at No. 13 West Virginia Mountaineers (-6.5, 65)

* Junior quarterback Kenny Hill has topped 400 passing yards three times and has passed for 2,142 yards and 12 touchdowns but has also thrown a Big 12-worst eight interceptions. Junior running back Kyle Hicks has a team-leading 479 rushing yards and has scored nine touchdowns (seven rushing, two receiving) but the Horned Frogs have sorely missed Turpin, who caught 16 passes and stood out on kickoff (32.8 average) and punt returns (28.8, one touchdown) before injuring a knee against Iowa State on Sept. 17. Sophomore outside linebacker Ty Summers (64 tackles) and sophomore middle linebacker Travin Howard (58 stops) are the top two tacklers in the Big 12 while junior safety Nick Orr has a team-best three interceptions.

* Howard has been highly accurate with a 66.1 percentage and has thrown for 1,590 yards and eight touchdowns against four interceptions. Junior running back Justin Crawford (373 yards, three touchdowns) is expected to play despite injuring an ankle against Texas Tech and he has formed a good combo with senior Rushel Shell III (348 rushing yards, five touchdowns). The defense allows just 19.4 points per game with senior safety Jarrod Harper (team-best 30 tackles), senior strong-side linebacker Justin Arndt (team-high four tackles for loss) and senior cornerback Rasul Douglas (team-leading two interceptions) enjoying good campaigns.

LINE HISTORY: West Virginia opened the week as 4.5-point home favorites and are currently at -6.5. The total opened at 66 and dropped a full point to 65. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Horned Frogs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
* Mountaineers are 1-7 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

* Under is 12-3 in Mountaineers last 15 home games.

Illinois Fighting Illini at No. 4 Michigan Wolverines (-38.5, 55)

* Safety Patrick Nelson was named the Big Ten's Freshman of the Week after registering a game-high 14 tackles in the win against Rutgers. Backup quarterback Chayce Crouch was thrust into a starting role after Wes Lunt went down with a leg injury in the second half against Purdue on Oct. 8 and the sophomore has performed admirably, throwing for 234 yards and a touchdown pass against the Boilermakers and Scarlet Knights. Hardy Nickerson, who is a graduate transfer from California, had 11 total tackles versus Rutgers to bump up his average to a Big Ten-best 9.7 per game.

* Running back Drake Johnson, who has missed the first six games with a muscle strain, practiced with the team during the week and is expected to make his first appearance of the season on Saturday. Fullback Khalid Hill ran for three touchdowns while Karan Higdon, Jabrill Peppers and Ty Isaac added two each as the Wolverines tied a program record by rushing for nine TDs in the victory over Rutgers. Michigan did not attempt a field goal against the Scarlet Knights but head coach Jim Harbaugh reiterated that the kicking competition was still open after Kenny Allen missed three FGs against Wisconsin.

LINE HISTORY: Michigan opened as big 37-point home faves and by Thursday that spread was up to -39. The total hit the board at 55.5 and came down to 55. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Fighting Illini are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.
* Wolverines are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a bye week.
* Under is 9-2 in Fighting Illini last 11 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.
* Over is 12-1 in Wolverines last 13 games on fieldturf.

Purdue Boilermakers at No. 9 Nebraska Cornhuskers (-24, 61.5)

* David Blough, who helped orchestrate last year's upset with 274 yards passing and four touchdowns, became the first Boilermaker to throw for five touchdowns since 2008, and he also passed for a career-high 458 yards last weekend. Fellow sophomore Cole Herdman easily topped his career bests with seven catches for 104 yards, becoming the first Purdue tight end to record a 100-yard receiving game since Dustin Keller in 2007. The Boilermakers were without linebacker Ja'Whan Bentley (ankle) and defensive tackle Jake Replogle (migraine) versus Iowa - both are questionable against Nebraska - but their absence allowed others to shine as linebacker Marcus Bailey had 11 tackles for the second straight game and defensive end Evan Panfil doubled his previous season total with two sacks.

* Second-year coach Mike Riley praised running back Terrell Newby for "really (being) a man there at the end"; the senior has logged a pair of 100-yard games in each of the last two weeks, churning out 170 of his 242 yards rushing over that stretch in the fourth quarter alone. Sophomore wideout Stanley Morgan Jr., who leads the team with 16 catches, finished with a career-high 93 yards receiving against the Hoosiers, including a 72-yard reception in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-winner. The emergence of both players has helped soften the blow created by the absences of tight end Cethan Carter, who has been ruled out for Purdue with an elbow injury, and last year's leading receiver Jordan Westerkamp, who could miss his second straight game with a back injury.

LINE HISTORY: Nebraska opened the week as 24-point home favorites and were still at that -24 number on Thursday. The total opened at 61.5 and didn't move all week. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Boilermakers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.
* Cornhuskers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
* Over is 7-1 in Boilermakers last 8 games overall.
* Under is 6-1 in Cornhuskers last 7 games on fieldturf.

Memphis Tigers at No. 25 Navy Midshipmen (+2.5, 57)

* The Tigers held one of the best rushing offenses in the AAC to 169 yards in a 24-14 win at Tulane last week as freshman defensive back Austin Hall emerged with 12 tackles. Hall and the defense are taking some of the weight off quarterback Riley Ferguson, who recorded 11 touchdown passes and two interceptions in the first three games but managed only one scoring strike with four interceptions in the last three. Freshman running back Darrell Henderson is becoming Ferguson's favorite weapon and totaled 142 yards while rushing for a touchdown and catching a scoring pass last week.

* Worth completed only three passes (in five attempts) against Houston, but two of those completions ended up in the end zone to add a different dimension to the offense. The Midshipmen will always rely mostly on the run, and Worth did his part in that regard with 115 rushing yards and a score on the ground in the 46-40 stunner. Linebacker Josiah Powell recorded a pair of interceptions - one for a touchdown - in the win and owns a sack and 3.5 tackles for a loss on the season.

LINE HISTORY: Memphis opened the week as 2.5-point home favorites and, despite a brief jump to 3, the spread is still 2.5 on Thursday. The total opened at 55.5 and was up to 56.5 by Thursday evening. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Tigers are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
* Midshipmen are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game.
* Under is 21-4-1 in Tigers last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
* Over is 7-1 in Midshipmen last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

No. 18 Utah Utes at UCLA Bruins (-7, 46)

* The Utes enter this game tied with Colorado atop the Pac-12 South Division standings and two games ahead of USC. Scoring at least 25 points seems to their benchmark, as Utah is 9-1 over the past two seasons when scoring that many, while UCLA is 2-9 in that span when surrendering at least 25. One area Utah figures to dominate is special teams, as the Utes rank second in the nation in net punting average, have a four-year starter at place kicker who owns the school's career field-goal record and even their long snapper has been on the field for every snap over the last four seasons.

* The Bruins were the preseason pick to win the South Division this season, but instead have lost three of their first four in conference play for the first time in coach Jim Mora's five-year tenure. UCLA will likely need to lean on its defense, as the run game is struggling and Rosen might be shaking off some rust, and the entire defensive unit has been solid so far, not allowing an opponent to amass 400 total yards in the last six games. Just one opponent has managed to complete at least 53 percent of its passes this season, and the secondary has accounted for eight interceptions on the year.

LINE HISTORY: UCLA opened as 7-point home favorites and the total hit the betting board at 46 and neither number has moved all week. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Utes are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.
* Bruins are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win.
* Over is 5-1 in Utes last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.
* Under is 6-0 in Bruins last 6 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game.

No. 17 Arkansas Razorbacks at No. 24 Auburn Tigers (-10, 55.5)

* The Razorbacks possess the SEC’s leading rusher in Rawleigh Williams III, who rolled up 180 yards and added a receiving touchdown against Ole Miss. Austin Allen also leads the conference in passing yards (1,861) and scoring passes (18), and is the only player in the nation with multiple touchdown tosses in seven games this season. The Razorbacks have put up mediocre defensive numbers and have struggled to stop top-flight offenses, allowing 41.3 points per game in conference play.

* The Tigers’ youthful offense steadily has improved as the season has progressed, as sophomore quarterback Sean White has thrown six touchdown passes and just one interception since an uneven performance in a season-opening loss to Clemson. The sophomore tandem of Kerryon Johnson and Kamryn Pettway provides a solid one-two punch in the backfield, with each averaging over five yards per carry. Auburn’s improved defense has held six of its last seven opponents under 20 points dating to last season and has been especially tough on third down, holding opponents to a 31.5 percent conversion rate to rank 21st in the nation.

LINE HISTORY: Auburn opened the week as 7.5-point home faves and by the end of the week that number was all of the way up to -10. The total hit the board at 55.5 and hasn't moved all week. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Razorbacks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games on grass.
* Tigers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
* Under is 7-1 in Razorbacks last 8 games following a bye week.
* Under is 7-0 in Tigers last 7 conference games.

Oregon State Beavers at No. 5 Washington Huskies (-36.5, 53.5)

* The Beavers have played their best football the past two weeks, stunning Cal 47-44 in overtime and then taking No. 19 Utah to the wire before losing 19-14. But OSU limps into this one without its two top quarterbacks -- starter Darell Garretson, who will miss the rest of the season with a left ankle injury, and backup Conor Blount, who has a left-knee injury -- meaning sophomore third-stringer Marcus McMaryion, who has completed just 41 percent of his passes (32-of-76) during brief playing time the last two seasons, gets the nod against the Huskies. Making matters worse is the Beavers also could be without their two top running backs, Ryan Nall (ankle), who rushed for 221 yards in the win over Cal, and backup Art Pierce (shoulder), which puts even more of the workload on standout wide receiver Victor Bolden Jr., who actually had a team-high 61 yards rushing on reverses and fly sweeps against the Utes.

* The Huskies have scored at least 35 points in every game this season and come in off a 70-21 thrashing of Oregon. Sophomore quarterback Jake Browning ranks No. 1 in the FBS in pass efficiency (204.9) and completion percentage (72.2) and has thrown 23 touchdown passes while being intercepted just twice in 144 pass attempts while wide receiver John Ross has 30 receptions for 371 yards and a Pac-12-best nine touchdown receptions. Linebacker Azeem Victor leads the team in tackles (46) but the strength of the unit is a secondary led by junior safety Budda Baker (29 tackles, 1 interception) and junior cornerback Sidney Jones (18 tackles, 1 interception), both returning first team all-conference players who are considered potential first-round NFL picks.

LINE HISTORY: Washington started the week as big 36.5-point home favorites and the spread has not moved. The total began at 54.5 and came down a full point to 53.5 on Thursday. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Beavers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win.
* Huskies are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a bye week.
* Under is 4-0-1 in Beavers last 5 games following a bye week.
* Over is 8-0 in Huskies last 8 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

No. 11 Houston Cougars at Southern Methodist Mustangs (+21, 63)

* Freshman defensive tackle Ed Oliver leads the Cougar defense with 43 tackles, five pass breakups and 9.5 tackles for loss after a career-high 12 stops last week against Tulsa. Quarterback Greg Ward Jr. (1,938 passing yards, 11 TDs and team-high 414 rushing yards, six TDs) ranks fourth nationally in total offense (392 yards) while leading a team that has scored at least 33 points in each of its six games. Dillon Birden is coming off a career-best 82 rushing yards and three scores while Linell Bonner bumped his team-leading total to 653 receiving yards with a career-high 13 catches for 97 yards.

* Hicks (1,284 yards, six touchdowns and nine interceptions) had career highs in completions (29), attempts (52) and yards (258) against Tulsa - the first game the offensive line did not allow a sack. Braeden West has a team-high 521 rushing yards and three scores while Courtland Sutton is averaging 98.3 receiving yards with four TDs. SMU is ranked second nationally with 13 interceptions - including four by Jordan Wyatt and Horace Richardson - but is allowing 454.8 yards.

LINE HISTORY: Houston began the betting week as 21.5-point road favorites and by the end of the week that number was down to 21. The total started out at 63 and hasn't moved. View complete line history here.

* Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Southern Methodist.

No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners at Texas Tech Red Raiders (+13.5, 84)

* The Sooners have been dealing with defensive injuries, and now have a notable one on the other side of the ball as starting tailback Samaje Perine suffered an unidentified muscle pull in last week’s 38-17 win over Kansas State and will be primarily replaced by Joe Mixon. Mayfield, meanwhile, has completed 76.1 percent of his passes with nine TDs during the team’s three-game win streak, with eight of those scoring passes going to wide receiver Dede Westbrook, who has accumulated 574 yards during that span. The Oklahoma defense is led by linebackers Jordan Evans (7.8 tackles per game) and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo (six sacks) and is coming off one of its better showings of the season in holding Kansas State to 17 points and 335 total yards.

* Although dinged up a bit of late, quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the nation in passing (429.8 yards per game) and total offense (455.2 yards) as the Red Raiders rank fifth nationally in scoring (48.8 points), but they were held to a full 38 points below their per-game average last week against the Mountaineers. Like Oklahoma, Texas Tech also possesses a dynamic wide receiver in sophomore Jonathan Giles, who is pacing the conference with 750 yards and nine receiving TDs. Defense, though, remains another matter as the Kris Williams-led unit ranks in the FBS bottom 30 in points allowed (40.2 per game), total defense (479.2), rushing defense (204.8) and passing defense (274.3) while forcing only five turnovers.

LINE HISTORY: The Oklahoma Sooners began the week as 13.5-point road favorites. The spread went up as high as 14 but by Thursday has settled back to the opening number of 13.5. The total opened at a massive 84 and hasn't moved all week. View complete line history here.

* Over is 9-1 in Red Raiders last 10 vs. a team with a winning record.

No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes at Penn State Nittany Lions (+19.5, 58.5)

* The Buckeyes have won 20 straight road games - a school record and the longest active streak in the country - thanks to a balanced dominance on both sides of the ball. In addition to its top-notch offense, Ohio State yields 12.8 points per game and has given up only one touchdown on the ground all season, not to mention 13 turnovers forced in six games. Mike Weber averages 102 rushing yards for the Buckeyes, who have scored a rushing TD in 58 of 60 games under Meyer.

* The Nittany Lions were off last week following a resounding 24-point triumph against Maryland thanks in large part to Saquon Barkley (career-high 202 rushing yards). Barkley has eight rushing TDs this season, although he had averaged under four yards per carry in each of his previous two games before his breakthrough performance against Maryland. Trace McSorley has contributed 154 rushing yards over the last two games while leading the Penn State air attack that ranks third in the Big Ten in passing.

LINE HISTORY: Ohio State opened as 19.5-point road favorites and, despite a wobble in each direction, the spread was still at 19.5 on Thursday. The total opened at 59.5 and came down a full point to 58.5. View complete line history here.

TRENDS:

* Over is 7-0 in Buckeyes last 7 games on grass.
* Over is 6-0 in Nittany Lions last 6 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game.

No. 22 Mississippi Rebels at No. 23 Louisiana State Tigers (-6.5, 60.5)

* Quarterback Chad Kelly suffered through his worst passing day of the season at Arkansas last week, completing 46.2 percent of his passes against a strong rush, but still sits second in the SEC with 1,849 passing yards. Kelly's favorite target is tight end Evan Engram, who leads the SEC with 590 yards but counts his three biggest receiving games of the season in the team's three losses. Engram caught five passes for 58 yards and a score in a 38-17 home win over LSU last season but the star was Kelly, who passed for 280 yards and two touchdowns and added 81 yards and a pair of scores on the ground.

* Fournette's absence opened up the door for Derrius Guice, who piled up 325 yards and five touchdowns on 33 carries in the last two games, and 480 yards and six TDs in the three that Fournette sat out this season. Guice's strong rushing against Southern Miss last week opened things up for quarterback Danny Etling, who threw for 276 yards and three TDs in the 45-10 win. The Tigers have yet to allow an opponent to score more than 20 points and defensive end Arden Key leads the SEC with seven sacks while Kendell Beckwith (60) ranks second in tackles.

LINE HISTORY: LSU opened the week as 4.5-point home favorites and that spread grew steadily all week to settle in at -6.5 by Thursday night. The total began the betting week at 60.5 and hasn't moved. View complete line history here.
