Top 25 Notes

-- There were plenty of takers on Mississippi catching 23 points at home aginst top-ranked Alabama. It wasn't nearly enough, as the Crimson Tide steamrolled the Rebels by a 62-7 score for their third cover in as many outings. 'Bama has been favored by 23 or more points in every outing so far, but they haven't won by less than 37 so far. Alabama is averaging 56.7 points per game (PPG) through three outings with the 'over' going 3-0. ... It was the final game before Urban Meyer is allowed to come back, and Ohio State made sure he returned to a team that is 3-0 SU. The Buckeyes and TCU were locked in a defensive battle at Jerry World, but suddenly Ohio State erupted for 20 points in a four-minute span to pick up the victory. However, the Horned Frogs were able to hang on for the cover at most shops. ... Washington opened the conference slate with a hard-fought and hard-hitting 21-7 victory at Utah. The 'under' is a perfect 3-0 so far this season for the Huskies, as they have allowed an average of just 10.3 PPG.

-- Arizona State arrived in the Top 25 this week and they were subsequently shown the door by San Diego State, 28-21. The Sun Devils struggled on offense until the very end of the game, and their rushing defense struggled mightily. That's not a good sign with Washington looming next time out.

-- Boise State-Oklahoma State was one of the most underrated games on the Week 3 card. After a scoreless first quarter, things started to get away from the Broncos in a hurry, and the Cowboys were able to pick up their second consecutive cover, moving to 2-0 ATS against FBS foes this season. Boise slipped to 2-1 ATS after routing their first two foes.

-- Wisconsin last tasted defeat during the regular season on Oct. 15, 2016 against Ohio State. Not many thought the Badgers would be in danger of that streak coming to an end against Brigham Young, but the Cougars had other plans. The Badgers not only slipped to 0-3 ATS on the season, but they misfired on a field goal in the final minute to lost 24-21 at Camp Randall, making no one want to jump around.

Big Five Conference Report (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC)

-- Duke continues to play well, and they notched another road victory at Baylor, 40-27 to move to 3-0 SU/ATS. ... Georgia Tech headed to Pittsburgh and it was a rough road trip. The Panthers were routed last week, while the Yellow Jackets also suffered defeat. Someone had to bounce back, and it was the Panthers picking up a 24-19 win to drop the Ramblin' Wreck to 0-3 ATS. ... Clemson held on for a 38-7 win against Georgia Southern, ambling through a home outing against a non-Power 5 team. They had a bit of a hangover after their impressive 28-26 nailbiter at Texas A&M. The games wasn't particularly close, but it was the Eagles coming away with another cover to go 3-0 ATS with the 'under' also 3-0. ... Syracuse-Florida State was expected to be a close game, as the Orange were installed as three-point underdogs at home. It didn't turn out that way, as 'Cuse routed FSU 30-7 to give Willie Taggart another lose. Things aren't exactly going to plan under the new regime, as Florida State is 0-3 ATS so far.

-- Indiana is flying a bit under the radar, but they moved to a perfect 3-0 SU with a 38-10 win over in-state rival Ball State. The Hoosiers picked up their first cover of the season in three tries, while the 'under' connected for the second straight outing, both at home. ... Minnesota earned a third straight win and cover by whitewashing Miami (Ohio) by a 26-3 score. The Golden Gophers have allowed just 9.0 PPG through three games, but things will get a lot more difficult once conference play begins. ... Nebraska joined Wisconsin in the loser's lounge with a disappointing 24-19 setback against Troy. The Cornhuskers are 0-2 with both losses at home for the first time since 1947.

-- Kansas won against Rutgers 55-14, as they have earned back-to-back wins against FBS opponents for the first time since the 2009 season. It makes their opening game setback against FCS Nicholls State even that much more surprising. ... Texas Tech racked up a 63-49 shootout over Houston, as the Red Raiders moved to 3-0 on the 'over' this season. Defense is going to be an issue for this team, as they have allowed 48.0 PPG in two games against FBS foes. ... Texas bounced back with an impressive 37-14 win over USC, a team suddenly in freefall and unable to score on offense. The Longhorns earned their first cover in emphatic fashion and the defense allowed a season-low 14 points. Texas won for the 900th time in school history, joining Ohio State and Michigan as the only FBS schools in the club.

-- It's been a long time since UCLA struggled this badly, and an 0-3 SU/1-2 ATS start isn't exactly what the Bruins faithful had in mind when Chip Kelly was hired. But Fresno State came into the Rose Bowl and dropped the Bruins by a 38-14 score. Not only is it hard to figure a path to bowl eligibility, it's hard to see where UCLA is going to get a win anytime soon. ... Arizona doubled up FCS Southern Utah with a 62-31, and for the first time QB Khalil Tate looked like a Heisman Trophy candidate. That ship might have already sailed, but the Wildcats served notice that they're still a dangerous offense. They earned their first cover in three tries.

-- Tennessee did a good job on defense, shutting out UTEP by a 24-0 count. However, the offense still has a long way to go if they're going to be successful during the SEC gauntlet. ... Vanderbilt left a ton of points on the field in their 22-17 loss at Notre Dame, but they easily covered the 14-point number. The Commodores moved to a perfect 3-0 ATS while the 'under' is also 3-0 for Vandy. ... LSU tossed their hat into the championship contender ring by upending Auburn by a 22-21 score on the Plains. The Tigers are 2-0 ATS in two games away from Death Valley this season. ... Arkansas was dumped at home by North Texas of Conference USA, 44-17. The Razorbacks are 0-2 SU/ATS in two battles against FBS teams this season with the 'under' 2-0 in those games. ... Texas A&M improved to 3-0 ATS with a 48-10 win against Louisiana-Monroe.

Mid-Major Report

-- Temple went into Maryland and picked up an unexpected win after dropping their first two games of the season at home to FCS Villanova and Buffalo. ... Tulsa suffered a home loss against Arkansas State, as the Sun Belt picked up a big win. The 'under' has connected in each of the past two games for the Golden Hurricane. ... Memphis took apart Georgia State, 59-22, picking up their second win, cover and 'over' result in as many outings at the Liberty Bowl. ... Houston is averaging 47.7 PPG through three games, but they needed much more in their 63-49 loss in Lubbock against the Red Raiders. The Cougars slipped to 1-2 ATS.

-- Alabama-Birmingham picked up a nice win as 3 1/2-point underdogs at home against Tulane, 31-24. The Blazers need to tighten up on defense if they're to have further success, as they're allowing 35.5 PPG through two games against FBS foes. ... Middle Tennessee won't be applying for SEC admission anytime soon. They were blasted by Georgia by a 49-7 count, slipping to 0-2 SU/ATS in two games against SEC opponents. ... Western Kentucky suffered a loss to FCS Maine last week, 31-28. They bounced back with a 20-17 cover at Louisville, earning their second cover in two tries against Power 5 teams this season.

-- Northern Illinois picked up a 24-16 win against Central Michigan, failing to cover for the second time in three tries while the 'under' connected for the third time in as many outings. ... Akron made history with their win at Northwestern, earning their first win against a Big Ten opponent since 1894 when the institution was called Buchtel College. The Zips have fired out to a 2-0 SU/1-1 ATS start. ... Bowling Green topped FCS Eastern Kentucky in a surprising 42-35 shootout, failing to cover for a second straight game. ... Ohio failed to cover at Virginia, as the Bobcats slipped to 0-2 ATS on the season.

-- Hawaii made the cross-country trek to Army and the travel apparently caught up to them, as the Black Knights beat them 28-21 for a push at most shops. The Warriors also failed to hit the 'over' for the first time in four tries. ... New Mexico-New Mexico State was a high-scoring battle, with the Lobos posting a 42-25 win. The Lobos dropped the Aggies to 0-4 ATS, while the 'over' has connected in each of their past three outings.

Bad Beats

-- It wasn't a textbook bad beat, but 'over' (59.5) bettors had to feel good with 49 points on the board at halftime of Middle Tennessee-Georgia. The Bulldogs posted seven in the third, and there were 56 points with a full quarter to go. Under bettors lucked out with a scoreless fourth quarter.

-- 'Over' bettors in BYU-Wisconsin (52) were pleased near the end of regulation, as the Badgers were about to boot a game-tying field goal to force overtime. Oops. Wisconsin lost, and so did 'over' bettors.

-- Illinois appeared to be on the way to a win against South Florida, but the Illini folded in the fourth quarter. The Illini led 19-7 heading into the fourth as 14-point underdogs, but the Bulls outscored them 18-0 to come away with a 25-19 victory.

-- 'Over' (71) bettors were liking the way Bama-Ole Miss was shaping up, as there were 56 points on the board at halftime, and 66 points through three quarters. The Tide could only muster up a field goal in the final stanza, as the 'under' held out.

-- The 'under' (68) was looking good in Oregon State-Nevada left, with just 51 points on the board through three quarters after a scoreless third. Oregon State dashed their hopes with a touchdown with 4:40 to go, pushing the total over the finish line late.

Early bettors like huge 'dog Texas A&M's odds at Alabama in college football Week 3
Patrick Everson

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has helped Alabama go 3-0 SU and ATS this season, as a favorite of 22.5 points or more in all three games. Can the Crimson Tide cover 26.5 at home against Texas A&M?

Week 4 of the college football season begs the question: Can oddsmakers put up a number that Alabama can’t cover? We check in on the opening lines and early movement for a foursome of games, with insights from Derek Wilkinson, sportsbook supervisor at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

No. 22 Texas A&M Aggies at No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (-27)

Alabama faced monster pointspreads the first three weeks of the season and delivered each time. In Week 3, the Crimson Tide (3-0 SU and ATS) went to Mississippi as a 22.5-point favorite and left with a have-no-mercy 62-7 victory.

Texas A&M already played one of college football’s best in Week 2, posting a big rally against Clemson before falling just short 28-26 as a 12-point home underdog. The Aggies (2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS) followed with a 48-10 rout of lightweight Louisiana-Monroe as a 12-point chalk.

“I think bookmakers look at it as the public keeps betting Alabama, and Alabama keeps covering,” Wilkinson said. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of the wiseguys come in and bet A&M, with all those points. The line has already dropped a half-point.”

No. 7 Stanford Cardinal at No. 19 Oregon Ducks (+1)

Stanford is out of the gate 3-0 SU (2-1 ATS), including a Week 2 win over Southern California, but this game marks its first road trip of the season. In Week 3, the Cardinal took a step down in competition, dispatching UC Davis 30-10 as a 31-point home chalk.

Oregon is also 3-0, but failed to cover all three times against far inferior competition. The Ducks beat San Jose State 35-22 in Week 3, falling miles short as a 42.5-point home favorite. Oregon has yet to play a road game this year.

“I’m kind of surprised the number is that low. Some offshores are Stanford -2/-2.5,” Wilkinson said. “I think it’s because the public likes to bet Oregon. But in my opinion, that line is gonna go up. I’d think sharp bettors would take Stanford -1. I know the game is at Oregon, but Stanford is clearly the better team.”

No. 17 Texas Christian Horned Frogs at Texas Longhorns (+3)

Texas Christian gave Ohio State a strong challenge last weekend, leading well into the third quarter of a quasi-neutral-site game at AT&T Stadium. But the Horned Frogs (2-1 SU and ATS) couldn’t hang on, falling 40-28 as a 12.5-point pup.

Texas bounced back from its season-opening upset loss to Maryland with a pair of wins, including a solid nonconference victory in Week 3. The Longhorns rumbled over Southern California 37-14 laying 3 points at home.

“It’s at Texas, an instate rivalry, so I think TCU -3 seems like a really good line. It feels about right,” Wilkinson said. “I’m not sure how they’re gonna bet that game.”

Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Wake Forest Demon Deacons (+8)

Notre Dame isn’t winning by much, with all three games decided by one score, but it won all three nonetheless. The Fighting Irish (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) went off as 14-point home faves against Vanderbilt and held on for a 22-17 victory last weekend.

Wake Forest got a couple wins against lesser lights to start the season, but couldn’t quite keep up with Boston College in Week 3. The Demon Deacons (2-1 SU, 0-3 ATS) led on a couple of occasions, including 24-21 early in the third quarter, but ultimately bowed out 41-34 as 6.5-point home pups in a game played Thursday due to Hurricane Florence.

“I think that line might drop closer to 7, maybe even 6.5,” Wilkinson said, noting that Notre Dame’s three relatively close wins could make 8 points a little too much to swallow.

NO BOSA FOR BUCKEYES

How much of an impact can the absence of one defensive player have on the opposing team's offensive fortunes? Bettors will find that out for themselves this weekend, as the Tulane Green Wave take on a host Ohio State Buckeyes team that will be without defensive end and top NFL draft prospect Nick Bosa. The junior superstar is dealing with a lower abdomen injury that knocked him out in the third quarter of last weekend's 40-28 victory over TCU. Bosa is having an incredible season to date, having racked up four sacks, six tackles for loss and a fumble recovery for a touchdown.

The line has moved 1.5 points in the Buckeyes' favor, from -34 to -35.5, while the total has dipped to 65. That leaves Tulane with an implied team total of ~15 points; the Green Wave have surpassed that number in seven of their past nine road games, going 5-4 ATS in that span.

MARTINEZ A GAME-TIME DECISION - AGAIN

Nebraska continues to troll the world with its quarterback situation. After announcing Adrian Martinez as the starter last week against Troy before replacing him with Andrew Bunch just prior to kickoff, Huskers head coach Scott Frost says Martinez remains a game-time decision for this weekend's encounter with Michigan. Frost said Martinez was close to returning from a knee injury against the Trojans but wasn't 100 percent ready. Frost and Nebraska are reeling after dropping their first two games of the season, both at home.

The Huskers are in tough this week, sitting at +18.5 against the host Wolverines; the total sits at 49. That said, Nebraska has gone 8-3 ATS in its last 11 road games and could make things interesting if Martinez plays Saturday.

STOREY'S THE ONE

It might not be entirely accurate to suggest that Ty Storey has "won" the Arkansas Razorbacks' starting quarterback job – but he'll be under center for Saturday's marquee showdown at Auburn. Storey was named the No. 1 QB by Razorbacks head coach Chad Morris, ending a duel that saw neither Storey nor Cole Kelley run away with the role. The two combined for six touchdowns and six interceptions over Arkansas' first thee games, with Storey (56.7 percent) posting a slightly better completion rate than Kelley (55.4). Arkansas is averaging 233.7 passing yards per game, good for 70th nationally.

The Razorbacks' QB struggles, combined with the Tigers looking for a rebound at home following last week's stunning loss to LSU, make Auburn a strong pick at -29.5. And with Arkansas' team total presently sitting at around 13 points, it's worth noting that Auburn has held road foes to 13 or fewer points in eight of their past 14 home games.

LOUISVILLE PASSING ON PASS

So much for being the next Lamar Jackson. Sophomore quarterback Juwon Pass has been benched by Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino for this weekend's game against Virginia. Pass will watch from the sidelines this weekend after opening the season with a 50 percent completion rate, two touchdown passes and four interceptions in parts of three games with the Cardinals. Pass he has been dealing with a turf toe injury that has limited him in the running game, resulting in him totaling just seven rushing yards on 15 attempts. Cunningham is 16-for-25 for 163 yards and a score to date.

The Cavaliers opened at -3.5, but the Cardinals' QB problems have played a role in that line being bet up to -5. But Virginia is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine as a home favorite, while Louisville is a red-hot 15-2 ATS in its past 17 as a true road 'dog.

**Udog** · 09-20-2018, 12:51 AM

BRYCE IS BACK

The Stanford Cardinal will have their sensational running back in the lineup for Saturday's road showdown with Oregon. Bryce Love sat out last week's win over UC Davis with an undisclosed injury but is fit to return against the Pac-12-rival Ducks. Head coach David Shaw said Love took some hard hits in the Cardinal's Week 2 win over USC and was held out of last week's game as a precaution. Stanford couldn't do much of anything on the ground in Love's absence, settling for 137 rushing yards on 33 carries. Love has 40 totes for 165 yards and a touchdown on the season.

The line for this game has quickly swung from Stanford +1.5 in some spots all the way to Stanford -2, with the total at 57. That puts the Cardinal's team total at around 30 points; they've scored 30+ points in eight of the last 15 games Love has played dating back to the start of last season.

REINFORCEMENTS FOR IOWA

A pair of Iowa Hawkeyes offensive players are set to make their return for this weekend's home encounter with Wisconsin. Running back Ivory Kelly-Martin and wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette both missed last week's victory over Northern Iowa but are expected to be back in the lineup Saturday. The returns of Kelly-Martin and Smith-Marsette will provide some much-needed depth for a Hawkeyes team that has averaged 28 points through its first three games but has scored more than 20 points in just one of its previous five games vs. the Badgers.

Iowa is listed at +3 against Wisconsin, a slight bump from a +3.5-opening line; the total sits at 43.5. Iowa is 10-3-1 ATS in its last 14 games as a home underdog and should be buoyed by the returns of Kelly-Martin and Smith-Marsette.

RED ZONE RED ALERT

Two teams in desperate need of a red-zone makeover will face off at Doak Campbell Stadium this Saturday as Florida State hosts Northern Illinois. The visiting Huskies have been somewhat ineffective inside their opponents' 20-yard line, having made eight trips and recording just four touchdowns – all through the air – and two field goals. But the Seminoles have been even worse in the red zone this season, managing just four TDs and a field goal on their nine trips inside the 20. That 55.6-percent scoring success rate is second-worst among Division I teams, ahead of only Western Kentucky (50 percent).

The Seminoles are 10-point favorites as they look to return to the .500 mark – but bettors should be wary about that total of 45. With both teams struggling mightily in the red zone, the under looks like the more appealing option here.

TOTAL TRACK MEET

Oddsmakers are expecting Friday's encounter between Florida Atlantic and UCF at Spectrum Stadium to be one of the highest-scoring affairs of the college football season to date. The total for this game is up to 75, and with good reason: The Owls have surpassed the 40-point plateau in five of their previous nine road games, while the Knights are averaging an unbelievable 54.4 points over their previous eight home games. UCF comes into the week ranked 15th in the nation in points per game (47.0), while FAU has racked up 82 points in its previous two contests.

That all said, the Knights carry a pair of intriguing under trends into this one. They've gone below the total in 10 of their last 11 games following a week off, while the under is 21-4-1 in their last 26 September games.

Tulsa at Temple
Joe Nelson

This week’s Thursday night ESPN game comes out of the American Athletic Conference with a pair of 1-2 squads facing off in what will be a key win towards bowl eligibility for the victor. Tulsa and Temple haven’t had the September starts they envisioned but both still have a shot at a successful season.

Here is a look at this week’s Thursday night game to kick off the fourth big weekend of college football.

Matchup: Tulsa Golden Hurricane at Temple Owls
Venue: At Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Time/TV: Thursday, Sep. 20, 7:30 PM ET ESPN
Line: Temple -7½, Over/Under 55½
Last Meeting: 2017, Temple (-5½) 43, at Tulsa 22

After winning the AAC title in 2016 Temple lost head coach Matt Rhule to Baylor and hired Geoff Collins, who had been the defensive coordinator at Florida the previous two years. Last season the Owls slipped from the back-to-back 10-4 seasons they had in 2015 and 2016 but still managed a 7-6 season. Temple beat Tulsa on the road in the regular season finale to reach 6-6 before beating Florida International in the Gasparilla Bowl, all things considered a fairly successful first season with the coaching transition plus the loss of longtime quarterback Phillip Walker, a four-year starter that is the all-time passing leader for the Owls.

There were some important players that graduated for Temple last season, notably in the receiving corps but expectations were elevated with the Owls considered by many the favorite in the AAC East. The offense gained a spark when Frank Nutile took over at quarterback last season and the top rushers from last season returned along with several key starters on a defense that has been very effective in recent years.

Temple opened the season with a pair of home games and lost both games, falling 19-17 (-14½) to FCS Villanova and 36-29 (-4) to Buffalo. On its own neither loss was egregious as Villanova gave Temple a great battle early last season and is one of the better FCS programs. Buffalo meanwhile is considered one of the top MAC teams is off to a promising 3-0 start as it could be a more reasonable loss by season’s end.

Nutile struggled with four interceptions before being injured late in the Buffalo game. He may be healthy enough to return in the near future but he may not get his job back at Temple was rejuvenated last week under sophomore Anthony Russo who played well in the team’s 35-14 (+16) upset win at Maryland. The Owls took a 21-7 lead at halftime even with Russo throwing a pick-6 the other way. Early in the second half Russo hit a 47-yard touchdown pass and the Owls even survived a blocked punt returned for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to hold on for a 21-point win. Temple’s defense allowed just 195 yards and no offensive touchdowns as the Owls can feel confident heading into the conference season.

Tulsa has had a roller coaster run in now four seasons under Philip Montgomery, who was hired in 2015 after leading the Baylor offense under Art Briles. He inherited a 2-10 team and went bowling in year one, nearly upsetting Virginia Tech in the Independence Bowl to finish 6-7. In 2016 the Hurricane delivered a 10-3 campaign with a dominant bowl win. Last season everything went wrong as Tulsa inversed its record to just 2-10. A closer looks reveals a lot of narrow losses but also a major decline statistically on both sides of the ball.

Tulsa has decent returning experience and was universally projected for a season of improvement this season. How much Tulsa can improve remains to be seen. After being tested but winning 38-27 (-13) against FCS Central Arkansas in the opener, the Hurricane delivered a valiant comeback bid at Texas, losing by seven 28-21 (+21) despite falling behind 21-0 at halftime. Last week Tulsa had a big measuring stick game against Sun Belt power Arkansas State and came up short with a 29-20 (-1½) loss at home. Three turnovers were a factor as an interception return touchdown in the third quarter was a big blow ahead of Tulsa climbing back within seven points in the fourth quarter.

Luke Skipper was erratic as a freshman last season, starting six games including the upset win over Houston. He has been more accurate so far this season and already has more touchdown passes but he also has three interceptions after throwing only four in 127 attempts last season. His yards per attempt average is also down to 6.9 compared to 9.0 last season. Facing quality competition has been a factor and the challenge will be great this week with Temple featuring a reputation as a strong pass defense in recent years. Shamari Brooks leads Tulsa with 310 yards rushing so far this season as the Hurricane keep the ball on the ground almost twice as often as they throw.

The Tulsa defense has looked capable after allowing 37.5 points per game last season no foe has reached 30 against the Hurricane this season. Now 1-2 Tulsa is at a critical juncture in the season with three of the next four games on the road and the lone home game a difficult October game with South Florida. Tulsa isn’t likely to be favored in any of the next four games as bowl hopes could be extinguished without an upset along the way.

Skipper didn’t play in last season’s game as Tulsa saw a 7-0 lead a few minutes into the game disappear. Temple led 31-13 at the half and sealed the game with a punt return touchdown late in the third quarter in a 43-22 win. Temple had a 451-369 edge in yards with three Tulsa turnovers. Tulsa did rush for 5.8 yards per carry and 318 yards against a Temple defense that had good season numbers against the run as only Notre Dame ran for more yards against the Owls last season. Behind Chad President and Will Hefley Tulsa completed only six passes in the game while having two interceptions however. Nutile was sharp with one of his best games completing 20 of 28 passes with three touchdowns.

Up next Temple has another opportunity vs. a major conference team visiting Boston College and the Owls have a very tricky AAC road schedule this season playing at Navy, at UCF, and at Houston as it will be critical to take care of business at home. With a limited margin for error the rest of the way after 1-2 starts for both programs, this game could feel like a postseason elimination game already in September.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Brian Edwards

There are three games on Friday night’s college football card, including a pair of excellent matchups in Florida Atlantic at Central Florida and Washington State at Southern California.

We’ll break down both of these games and briefly touch on Penn State at Illinois in Bonus Nuggets.

**FAU at UCF**

-- As of Wednesday, most betting shops had UCF (2-0 straight up, 1-1 against the spread) installed as a 13.5-point home favorite with a total of 75. The Owls were +400 on the money line (risk $100 to win $400).

-- I always say that games played on a short week are advantageous to the home team. In this instance, that’s the case even more since UCF saw its game at North Carolina last week postponed due to Hurricane Florence. Therefore, the Knights have had two weeks to get healthy and prepare for the Owls, who are playing their fourth game in four weeks. Unlike other road assignments on a short week, however, FAU doesn’t have to travel far. The bus ride up The Turnpike shouldn’t take more than 2.5 hours.

-- UCF has won 15 consecutive games, including a 56-17 season-opening win at UConn and a 38-0 home triumph over South Carolina State. The Knights covered the number as 24-point road ‘chalk’ in Storrs, but they failed to take the money as 52-point home favorites vs. S. Carolina State.

-- Josh Heupel replaced Scott Frost as head coach after a record-setting season with Drew Lock and Missouri as its offensive coordinator. He inherited a team that went 13-0 SU and 7-4-1 ATS last season. UCF returned six starters on offense and five on defense after senior free safety Tre Neal decided in August to bolt for Lincoln and rejoin Frost at Nebraska as a grad transfer.

-- The most important returnee was junior QB McKenzie Milton, who garnered fourth-team All-American honors in 2017 thanks to a 37/9 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Milton completed 67.1 percent of his throws for 4,037 yards last year. He also makes plays with his legs, rushing for 613 yards and eight TDs with a 5.8 yards-per-carry average in ’17. In UCF’s first two games, Milton has connected on 45-of-71 passes (63.4%) for 589 yards with a 6/3 TD-INT ratio. He has run for 66 yards on 10 attempts.

-- UCF sophomore WR Tre Nixon, who sat out last season after transferring from Ole Miss, has eight receptions for 154 yards and two TDs. Sophomore Gabriel Davis has 15 catches for 151 yards and two TDs, while junior Dredrick Snelson has 11 grabs for 135 yards. Snelson caught 46 balls for 695 yards and eight TDs during the Knights’ unbeaten ’17 campaign.

-- Junior RB Adrian Killins was a first-team All-AAC selection in ’17 when he produced 790 rushing yards and 10 TDs with a 6.5 YPC average. Killins has run for 127 yards and three TDs on merely 17 carries this year, averaging 7.5 YPC.

-- After losing three of the first four games of the Lane Kiffin Era, Florida Atlantic won 10 straight to win Conference USA and called the season with a 50-3 win over Akron as a 22.5-point home favorite in the Boca Raton Bowl. Nine wins during the 10-game surge came by margins of 14 points or more. Kiffin’s second team brought back five starters on offense, 10 on defense and lost just 18 lettermen.

-- FAU (2-1 SU, 0-3 ATS) started the year with a daunting trip to Norman to take on Oklahoma as a 19-point road underdog. The Sooners dominated early and often on their way to a 56-14 victory. The 70 combined points inched ‘over’ the 69-point total thanks to a seven-yard TD run by FAU’s Kerrith Whyte with 4:13 remaining. OU led 56-0 before the Owls got on the board with 55 ticks left in the third quarter on a Devin Singletary five-yard TD scamper.

-- In Week 2, FAU bounced back with a 33-27 win over Air Force as a 7.5-point home favorite. Kiffin’s squad appeared poised to hook up its betting backers until the Falcons blocked a punt and Lokota Willis returned it five yards for a TD with 50 seconds remaining to secure a backdoor cover. The Owls went ahead of the number four separate times during the game, but that was little solace to their supporters.

-- Sophomore starting QB Chris Robison, who started his career at Oklahoma, bounced back from a tough outing against his former school. Robison torched Air Force by completing 33-of-40 passes for 471 yards and three TDs without an interception. Junior WR Jovon Durante, who sat out last season after transferring in from West Virginia, had 12 receptions for 174 yards and one TD vs. the Falcons. Tavaris Harrison had seven catches for 138 yards, while Willie Wright had six grabs for 75 yards and two TDs. Singletary ran 16 times for 57 yards and one TD.

-- Singletary was a fourth-team All-American pick in 2017 when he ran for 1,920 yards and 32 TDs while averaging 6.4 YPC. He hasn’t been able to duplicate those stats this year, rushing for 210 yards and seven TDs on 53 carries for a 4.0 YPC average. Singletary had five rushing scores and 84 yards on 19 totes in last week’s 49-28 non-covering win over Bethune-Cookman as a 41-point home ‘chalk.’

-- Robison has completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 799 yards with a 4/2 TD-INT ratio. Durante has been his favorite target, hauling in 23 catches for 298 yards and two TDs. Harrison has 11 receptions for 195 yards, while junior TE Harrison Bryant, a second-team All-AAC choice last season, has nine catches for 135 yards. Wright, who paced the Owls with 56 receptions for 657 yards and six TDs in ’17, has 12 catches for 113 yards and two TDs.

-- FAU is 1-1-1 ATS as a road underdog on Kiffin’s watch. Going back to 2012, the Owls are 20-8-1 ATS in their 29 games as road ‘dogs.

-- UCF is 29-20-1 ATS as a home favorite since 2009.

-- Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

**Washington State at Southern California**

-- As of Wednesday, most books had USC (1-2 SU, 0-3 ATS) listed as a 3.5-point favorite with a total of 53. The Cougars were +155 on the money line (risk $100 to win $155).

-- Clay Helton’s squad trailed UNLV for nearly the entire second quarter and only led by a 19-14 count going into the final stanza of its opener at The Coliseum in Week 1. USC would outscore the Rebels 24-7 in the fourth quarter to pull away for a 43-21 victory, but the Trojans failed to cover the spread as 24.5-point home favorites. True freshman QB J.T. Daniels hit on 22-of-35 throws for 282 yards and one TD without an interception. RB Aca’Cedric Ware produced 100 rushing yards and one TD on merely 10 attempts, while Vavae Malapeai had 47 yards and a pair of rushing scores on eight carries. True freshman WR Amon-Ra St Brown, the prized five-star recruit, had seven receptions for 98 yards and one TD.

-- USC dropped a 17-3 decision at Stanford as a five-point underdog in Week 2. Daniels completed only 16-of-34 passes for 215 yards and was intercepted twice. The Trojans averaged only 3.1 YPC on 37 attempts for 114 rushing yards.

-- USC was fortunate to edge Texas at home in double overtime last season. The Longhorns avenged that defeat last Saturday night by capturing a 37-14 win as three-point home favorites. USC had negative five rushing yards on 16 attempts. Daniels completed 30-of-48 throws for 322 yards with zero TDs and one interception.

-- Daniels has completed 58.1 percent of his passes for 819 yards with a 1/3 TD-INT ratio. St Brown has 18 receptions for 304 yards and one TD, while sophomore Tyler Vaughns has 15 catches for 157 yards. Ware has rushed for a team-best 167 yards and one TD with a 5.2 YPC average.

-- USC star senior OLB Porter Gustin will miss the first half due to a targeting infraction in the second half of last week’s defeat in Austin. Gustin has 15 tackles, 3.5 sacks, two tackles for loss, two QB hurries and one pass broken up through three games. Also, junior LB John Houston (wrist), senior CB Isaiah Langley (groin) and freshman DB Isaiah Pola-Mao (shoulder) are listed as ‘questionable.’ Houston has recorded 12 tackles and two PBU, while Pola-Mao has eight tackles and one forced fumble. Pola-Mao didn’t play at Texas. Langley, who had 38 tackles and six PBU last season, has seven tackles and four PBU this year.

-- USC has compiled a 9-9 spread record in 18 games since Helton took over midway through the 2015 campaign.

-- Washington State (3-0 SU, 3-0 ATS) owns a 16-8 ATS ledger in 24 games as a road underdog during Mike Leach’s seven-year tenure.

-- With the loss of the school’s all-time leading passer (Luke Falk) and the tragic death of Tyler Hillinski, Falk’s promising heir apparent, there were questions about the QB position headed into the season. Well, unlike Jim McElwain who famously said at his intro presser at Florida that he could score points with his dog, Clara Belle, playing QB, Leach probably can score points with his dog under center. And to be clear, we aren’t calling East Carolina grad transfer Gardner Minshew a dog and certainly not one with fleas. Minshew has been outstanding for his new team, completing 70.9 percent of his passes for 1,203 yards with an 8/3 TD-INT ratio.

-- Washington State has posted wins and spread covers at Wyoming (41-19), vs. San Jose State (31-0) and vs. Eastern Washington (59-24).

-- Washington State junior RB James Williams has run for 137 yards and four TDs with a 4.3 YPC average. Williams also has 18 receptions for 127 yards and two TDs.

-- Tay Martin had 31 receptions for 366 yards and six TDs as a true freshman in ’17. He may surpass those number Friday night at The Coliseum. Martin has team-highs in catches (24), receiving yards (290) and TD grabs (three). Jamie Calvin has 15 grabs for 188 receiving yards.

-- When these Pac-12 rivals collided in Pullman on a Friday night last season, Washington State captured a 30-27 victory as a five-point home underdog. Renard Bell had three catches for 101 yards, while Martin has six receptions for 55 yards and one TD. The Cougars’ defense limited Sam Darnold to 164 passing yards and intercepted him once and held him without a TD pass. The 57 combined points dipped ‘under’ the 60-point tally.

-- Both teams have watched the ‘over’ go 2-1 overall.

-- ESPN will provide television coverage at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Penn State will hit the road Friday night to take on Illinois. As of Wednesday, the Nittany Lions were favored by 28 points with the total at 60. PSU (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) had a close call in Week 1, needing to rally late in the fourth quarter to force overtime in a 45-38 triumph over Sun Belt power, Appalachian State. Since then, James Franklin’s team has dusted Pittsburgh (51-6 as a 7.5-point road favorite) and Kent State (63-10). Illinois (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) is off a gut-wrenching 25-19 loss to USF at Soldier Field. Although Lovie Smith’s club covered the number as a 14-point underdog, it allowed 19-7 fourth-quarter advantage to get away. FS1 will have the telecast at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

-- BetDSI has a pair of MAC wide receivers with the shortest odds to win the Biletnikoff Award that goes to the nation’s top wideout each year. Buffalo’s Anthony Johnson is the +270 ‘chalk,’ while Toledo’s Diontae Johnson has +350 odds. A-Johnson has 16 receptions for 207 yards and two TDs for the unbeaten Bulls, who play at Rutgers this week. D-Johnson has eight catches for 179 yards and three TDs.

-- Gamblers might want to think about going into degenerate-as-hell mode in Alabama games by backing its team total ‘over’ for the game, first half and first quarter, in addition to the Tide in the game, first half and first quarter. Those plays are all perfect to date this year.

-- Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa is the +200 ‘chalk’ to win the Heisman Trophy at Sportsbook.ag. The next-shortest odds belong to OU’s Kyler Murray (+450), Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins (+500), WVU QB Will Grier (+500), BC’s A.J. Dillon (12/1) and Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor.

-- Let’s give David Cutcliffe a hat tip here right this second. He loses his star QB Daniel Jones, who had started 27 games in a row since he stepped on campus. ‘Cut’ also lost his best defensive player, CB Mark Gilbert, a first-team All-ACC selection in ’17 when he had six interceptions, to a season-ending injury in Week 2. Nevertheless, the Blue Devils went on the road and won by double digits for a second straight weekend, winning 40-27 at Baylor as short underdogs one week after collecting a 21-7 victory at Northwestern. This Just In: Dude can coach.

CAN SKIPPER FEND OFF PRESIDENT?

It's a big week for Tulsa quarterback Luke Skipper as he heads the Golden Hurricane into Temple on Thursday to face the Owls on a short week for both teams. Skipper has retained the starting job through the first three games but has just four touchdowns against three interceptions – and a subpar effort in Philadelphia could see him cede the role to Chad President. Skipper seized the No. 1 role from President midway through the 2017 season but has seen his yards per pass attempt plummet from 9.0 last season to 6.9 so far in 2018.

Temple is a 6.5-point favorite but should be a popular play against a visiting team facing a short week – and a trip of nearly 1,300 miles to boot. The Owls are also 2-7 O/U in their last nine September home games; the total for this one is 53.5, down from an opening of 55.

HIGDON RETURNS FOR MICHIGAN

The Michigan Wolverines will have their top running back in the lineup for Saturday's showdown with visiting Nebraska. Running backs coach Jay Harbaugh says Karan Higdon will be available this weekend after missing last weekend's win over Southern Methodist with an undisclosed injury. And the Wolverines are also expected to have No. 2 running back Chris Evans in the fold; he's also dealing with an undisclosed ailment. Michigan enters the weekend averaging a robust 5.2 yards per carry, with Higdon and Evans combining for 400 rushing yards and four TDs through three games.

The Wolverines are favored by 17.5 points against the Huskers; they're 6-0 SU and 3-2-1 ATS when Higdon rushes for at least 100 yards, with five of those victories coming by 20 or more points.

ROGERS READY TO GO

The Texas A&M Aggies have a tall task ahead of them in Alabama this weekend, but at least they'll have one of their top wide receivers back. Sophomore wideout Kendrick Rogers sat out last week's victory over Louisiana-Monroe with a foot injury, but head coach Jimbo Fisher says he expects Rogers to be available Saturday. Rogers has already featured prominently against a marquee opponent this season, hauling in seven catches for 120 yards and a pair of scores in the Aggies' heart-wrenching 28-26 loss to the Clemson Tigers back on Sept. 8.

Rogers' return could give the Aggies the boost they need to challenge their team total, which comes in at around 17.5 points as of Thursday. But bettors beware: Texas A&M, presently a 26-point underdog with a total of 61, has been outscored 92-14 in its previous two visits to Tuscaloosa.

WILL AHNMON BE AVAILABLE?

The Miami Hurricanes are holding their breath about the availability of Ahmmon Richards. The talented wide receiver hasn't yet returned to practice since suffering a knee injury in the Hurricanes' season-opening 33-17 loss to LSU, and he's still considered day-to-day. Richards is, however, listed as a starter on Miami's Week 4 depth chart, a sign that he might be ready to return. Richards has battled injuries since putting up 934 receiving yards and three touchdowns as a freshman in 2016; he had just one catch for nine yards against the Tigers before departing.

Richards' return to full health could mean a boon for a Miami team that hasn't had any problem scoring without him, racking up 126 points in wins over Savannah State and Toledo. Yet, with a team total of ~41 points against visiting Florida International (Miami is -26.5 with an O/U of 56.5), Richards' presence certainly makes the over a much stronger option.

The Triple Option: College football Week 4 picks, predictions and eats

Believe it or not, despite a diminutive frame, I played cornerback back in my high school days and while it takes a lot quickness and great reaction to play that position, it comes with one of the harshest lessons in sports – having to bounce back after getting beat for a touchdown.

I have played a lot of sports in my life. Basketball, baseball, football, rugby and golf among others and without a doubt I have never experienced anything that requires more mental fortitude than playing defensive back. You could be having the game of your life, completely shutting down the guy across from you and boom, you get beat for a 40-yard bomb. It is an awful feeling and just plain sucks.

But to be a successful corner, you must realize that getting beat will happen and you must put that out of your mind and focus on the next play. And there are a lot of similarities when it comes to sports betting.

I get the same feeling when I have a losing week in this column. It’s a real gut shot. I hate losing. You put in a lot of time and effort to present a good rationale for making a pick and then they play the games and sometimes despite your best effort you lose (thank you very much Boise State et al).

Yes, last week was our second consecutive losing week, but we’re going to use the same attitude when it comes to this week’s plays. It happened. It sucks. And we’re moving on. And to help matters out, we’re going to be backing some experienced quarterbacks going up against those who may be a little overmatched, starting with the exciting Nick Fitzgerald for Mississippi State.

The senior duel-threat quarterback, leads a talented Bulldogs offense, which loves to pound the rock, but will also make you pay if they don’t respect the pass. Mix in running back Kylin Hill and you have a recipe for a potent offense.

Mississippi State has passed every test with flying colors, covering with ease in two games where it was 30-plus point favorites. And in its only real test, a trip to Manhattan where Bill Snyder always has his Wildcats ready to play, the Bulldogs rumbled to a 31-10 victory as 6.5-point faves.

On the other side of the ball, Kentucky is just too one-dimensional on offense and the Bulldogs stout defense should make life tough for the Wildcats. Kentucky also failed to cover as a moderate to large favorite in both of its home games against lesser opponents.

Kentucky is obviously one of the feel-good stories in college football, with their 3-0 start and of course beating Florida for the first time in nearly my entire life. But their line for this weekend’s home game against Mississippi State seems disrespectful to the Bulldogs.

Like I said before, people are undervaluing the Bulldogs in this spot. They run all over the Wildcats.

Pick: Mississippi State -9.5

Louisville Cardinals at Virginia Cavaliers (-5, 54.5)

The big news in this matchup is obviously the benching of Louisville quarterback Juwan Pass and the immediate reaction was for oddsmakers to move the line from Cavaliers -3 to -5 (it has since come down to -4.5), but I don’t think it should matter either way.

This Virginia team isn’t really special at any one thing, but it doesn’t do anything really poorly at the same time and as a result, is a perfect 3-0 against the spread this season. It runs a balanced offense, led by duel-threat quarterback in Bryce Perkins. The junior is completing 64 percent of his passes for 670 yards with seven touchdowns and no interceptions.

He is joined in the backfield by Jordan Ellis, who has already racked up 380 yards and five scores on the ground at a clip of 7.5 yards per carry.

Meanwhile, Louisville’s run defense is allowing 4.2 yards per attempt to the tune of 188 yards per game and the offense ranks near the bottom of the nation in most major categories. And before you go telling me Pass’ replacement Malik Cunningham has been better, he’s done that against Indiana State and Western Kentucky.

The Cardinals are also just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games versus a team with a winning record. That number improves to 2-10 this weekend.

Pick: Virginia -5

Kansas State Wildcats at West Virginia Mountaineers (-16, 60.5)

I’m all in on Will Grier in 2018. The dude has a special arm and he has a chance to take the Mountaineers a long way this season. (A November 23 versus Oklahoma could be huge).

Grier, a Heisman favorite, is completing 76.7 percent of his passes for 761 with nine touchdowns to just one interception. He has great weapons in Gary Jennings Jr. and David Sills and three running backs who are averaging over six yards per carry.

That means trouble for a K-State team that ranks 86th in total defense and 105th against the run, surrendering 201.3 yards per game on the ground.

The Wildcats have also not found their footing on offense either, barely beating South Dakota State as 24-point faves in their opener and as we said earlier, getting run over at home by the Bulldogs. They won’t be able to keep up with Grier and the Mountaineers in this one.

Pick: West Virginia -16

Last week: 1-2
Season to date: 4-5

**Udog** · 09-22-2018, 12:50 AM

TRIPLE TROUBLE FOR SMU

Navy's triple option has confounded a fair number of opposing defenses – but to Southern Methodist, it has been downright nasty. The Mustangs look to figure out how to slow down the galloping Midshipmen as the teams meet Saturday in Dallas. SMU has allowed a whopping 173 points in its last three games against Navy, who have won eight consecutive meetings between the teams and have covered in five straight. Navy quarterback Malcolm Perry is the one to watch; he had 282 yards on the ground and four TDs against SMU last season, and already has six scores on the ground through three games in 2018.

SMU is a 6.5-point underdog in this one, but the more interesting number is the total, which has plummeted from a 66 opener all the way down to 60.5 in some spots. The teams have gone over in each of their past three meetings, averaging a combined 86 points in those outings.

WKU TURNS TO SHANLEY

After impressing in relief last week, quarterback Davis Shanley will make his first collegiate start Saturday as Western Kentucky visits Ball State. Shanley looked good in last Saturday's 20-17 loss at Louisville, completing 22 of 33 passes for 240 yards and a touchdown and added a rushing score as WKU nearly pulled off the upset. Regular starter Drew Eckels is unavailable after taking big hits in each of the Hilltoppers' first two games of the season. Steven Duncan, who was replaced by Shanley after just two series against the Cardinals, is listed second on this week's depth chart.

While the odds for this one have held steady at Ball State -3, the total has risen from 52 to 55. Shanley's presence not only puts the over in play (the Hilltoppers are 7-3 O/U in their past 10), it also enhances WKU's chances of winning outright (+125) and going over its team total, which sits at 25.5.

BRO, DO YOU EVEN KICK?

Looking for the least involved players in collegiate football through three weeks? It has to be the Boston College placekickers. Colton Lichtenberg and John Tessitore have played the role of cheerleaders for the first 180 minutes of Eagles football, as BC has put up a stunning 23 touchdowns without even one field goal through the first three games (Tessitore has at least been able to kick extra points, and he's 20-for-23 there.) The Eagles are expected to put up another bushel of points Saturday against Purdue, which has surrendered 10 touchdowns and seven field goals (30.3 ppg) in its first three games.

Can Purdue succeed where the others have failed? It might be worth investing to find out, as bettors are getting +350 on Boston College's first score coming via field goal (a touchdown is worth -550 if you'd rather play it safe.)

DRIVE EXTENSION MATTERS

If Mississippi State and Kentucky keep doing what they've done so well in the early going, we could see plenty of long drives when these teams face off Saturday at Kroger Field in Lexington. The Bulldogs have been one of the best third-down teams in the nation so far, converting 22 of 36 opportunities for a 61.1-percent success rate – second only to Central Florida. The Wildcats aren't far behind, having gone 22-of-38 on third down for a 57.9-percent success rate. Not surprisingly, both teams rank above the Division I average in time of possession per game.

The total for this one has shifted from 54 to 56 – but longer drives on both sides would ultimately mean fewer overall possessions, which would almost certainly result in fewer points. Betters should consider both the full-time and first-half Unders (28), which are paying out at -110.

CHANGES COMING TO NOTRE DAME?

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish might have a new man under center for Saturday's encounter with host Wake Forest. ESPN is reporting that the Irish are prepared to go with redshirt sophomore Ian Book as the starting quarterback against the Demon Deacons; he would replace Brandon Wimbush, who has completed just over 55 percent of his passes with one touchdown and four interceptions on the season. The Irish have succeeded despite Wimbush's struggles, but their three wins have come by a combined 20 points and they fell well short of covering in each of their previous two victories.

The Irish are a one-touchdown road favorite against Wake Forest but given how Book fared in his Citrus Bowl stint vs. LSU last season (14-for-19, 164 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT), Notre Dame might see a little more action than normal. That said, the team total of 34.5 seems high given that the Irish have averaged just 23.3 points through their first three games.
