Top 25 Notes

-- It was a topsy-turvy day in the Top 25 on Saturday, particularly the Top 10. Georgia was the biggest domino to fall, as they were routed at LSU by a 36-16 score. West Virginia also fumbled away their chance, and subsequently the Big 12's chance, of likely seeing a spot in the four-team playoff at season's end with their ugly 30-14 setback at Iowa State. The Pac-12 is also officially out of the playoff mix after Washington slipped up in overtime at Oregon, 30-27. Penn State joined those teams in the Loser Lounge with 21-17 setback at home against Michigan State, their second consecutive loss in Happy Valley.

-- Colorado headed to USC without a loss, but they came home with their first L and a non-cover, as the Trojans finally figured out a way to win a big game at home. The Trojans were helped out by the fact Heisman hopeful Laviska Shenault Jr. (foot) suffered an injury in the game. The Buffaloes will try to rebound next week, but a trip to Washington is not what the doctor ordered to cure their ills.

-- If you hear anyone tell you that 'The U' is back, point them to the box score of today's Miami (Fla.)-Virginia game. The Hurricanes stumbled in Charlottesville, a play the 1980's version of the Hurricanes would never have dreamt of losing. Miami has now failed to cover in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and they probably should've lost last week against rival Florida State if the Seminoles could get out of their own way.

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

-- Duke took advantage of several miscues in cooling off Georgia Tech, 28-14. The Blue Devils stopped a two-game non-cover streak while hitting the 'under' in consecutive games for the first time this season. ... Pittsburgh nearly added Notre Dame to the upset list, but the Irish were able to stave off the rival Panthers by a 19-14 score in South Bend. However, Pitt easily covered a 22-point number, just their second cover in six tries this season. ... Virginia Tech stunned North Carolina by a 22-19 score, so hopefully you didn't have the Tar Heels on the moneyline (see bad beats below).

-- Speaking of bad beats, Northwestern nearly gave Nebraska its first victory of the season. Instead, the Wildcats were able to erase a 14-point late deficit to force overtime. The Cornhuskers turned it over in OT, and the Wildcats picked up the game-winning field for a push at some shops. ... Michigan routed Wisconsin 38-13 in the Big House, uninviting the Badgers to the playoff party, if they weren't already out. The Wolverines improved to 5-0 SU/4-1 ATS in five games at home this season, and the 'over' has hit in four in a row in Ann Arbor.

-- Texas wasn't particularly impressive at home, but they managed to squeak by Baylor by a 23-17 count in Austin. The Bears entered the game 1-4-1 ATS in their first six games, and the 'under' was just their second after a 5-1 'over' start. ... The upsets actually started Thursday night in Fort Worth, as Texas Tech earned a much-needed win, 17-14, over Texas Christian. After getting routed by Ole Miss in the opener the Red Raiders have posted a 4-1 ATS mark in the past five outings.

-- UCLA provided Chip Kelly with his first victory since returning to college football, a resounding 37-7 win at California that even QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson's dad won't have a problem with. In Friday's action, Utah had no hangover following their win in Palo Alto last week as they crushed Arizona by a 42-10 count. The Utes have posted covers in consecutive games for the first time this season after a 1-3 ATS start.

-- If you had Arkansas on the mneyline against Mississippi, condolences. If you had the 'under' (66.5) in this game, the same. It was a double bad beat late. See below. ... Texas A&M held on for the 26-23 win at South Carolina, and they were able to nail down the cover, too, at least at most shops. The Aggies are 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS through seven contests heading into a bye week.

Bad Beats

-- If you had Nebraska on the moneyline (+125), it was an ugly finish. The Cornhuskers were leading 28-14 with 13:40 to go, and 31-21 with 5:41 remaining in regulation. However, the Wildcats scored a touchdown with :12 remaining in regulation to force overtime. The Huskers were picked off on the first possession of the extra session, and Northwestern booted the game-winning field on their end of OT. The late touchdown also sunk those holding 'under' (59) tickets.

-- 'Under' (57) bettors were feeling pretty good about themselves in the Marshall-Old Dominion game, as there were just 31 points on the board heading to the fourth quarter. Marshall scored a TD with 7:08 to go to make it 28-13, but 17 points were still needed for a losing ticket. The teams exchanged touchdowns over the next 4:03, making it Herd 35-20 with 3:05 to go. Herd RB Tyler King ripped off the 65-yard touchdown to make it 35-20, and he added a 46-yard scoring run with 1:53 to go in regulation, killing 'under' bettors in the process.

-- It's always the 'under' (47.5) bets, isn't it? Wisconsin-Michigan had a total of 28 points on the board heading to the fourth quarter. Michigan took a 31-7 lead with 9:55 left in regulation, and you knew what was coming next if you liked the under. Michigan scored with 5:16 to go, making it 38-7 and then the Badgers ruined the day with a meaningless touchdown at 3:47 to go, making it 38-13.

-- If you had the nerve to take Arkansas on the moneyline, it was an awful beating at the end of regulation. The Hogs were up by as many as 17 at one point, and by nine with 2:33 to go at 33-24 in the third quarter. With 57 points on the board with 4:15 to play, an 'under' (66.5) bet was surely safe, right? Well, Arkansas allowed a touchdown but still lead 33-31. Moneyline - good. Under - good. However, Ole Miss ruined the day for everyone with 5-yard touchdown with just :42 remaining. Awful.

4th Quarter Covers - Week 7
Joe Nelson

Glancing at the scoreboard won’t tell you the whole story in most games. Here are some of the games that went down to the wire relative to the spread in the fourth quarter last week in the seventh big college football weekend in mid-October.

Each week there are several teams that cover despite not necessarily deserving it, as well as other teams that played much better than the final score shows.

Boston College (-11½) 38, Louisville 20: The Eagles took an early 14-0 lead in this game but found themselves down 20-14 with halftime approaching before getting a blocked punt for a touchdown. A 24-20 halftime lead for Boston College held through a scoreless third quarter with Boston College stuffed going for it on 4th down from the 5-yard-line late in the quarter. Early in the fourth the Eagles put together a 93-yard touchdown drive to lead by 11, not quite enough on a spread that dropped steadily after opening as high as -15. Louisville would manage seven net yards on its final three possessions and with just over three minutes remaining Boston College added another touchdown for the 18-point final margin and the home favorite cover.

Eastern Michigan (+2½) 28, Toledo 26: Eastern Michigan stormed out to a 21-0 lead in this game in the first 10 minutes and led 28-3 at halftime. Eagles games seem to often end with close results and late drama and this game was no exception. Toledo rallied in the fourth quarter to get within eight points with six minutes to go and then was handed great field position as the Eagles opted to go for it on 4th-and-1 on their own side of the 50 with about two minutes to go. Toledo got the stop and wound up scoring with 20 seconds to go with the two-point conversion try to force overtime. A throw to the back of the end zone was deflected as Eastern Michigan held on for the minor upset.

Ball State (+2) 24, Central Michigan 23: Central Michigan led 20-7 at halftime and both teams missed in scoring opportunities in the third quarter with a missed field goal for Ball State and Central Michigan was stopped going for it on 4th-and-1 from the 27-yard-line rather than attempting a long but makeable field goal. That decision proved costly as the Cardinals scored on the next possession to climb within six points early in the fourth quarter and took a 21-20 lead after scoring again on its next possession. Central Michigan managed a 47-yard field goal with about four minutes remaining to go back in front but Ball State responded in kind in the final minute for the one-point road win.

Buffalo (-11) 24, Akron 6: The Bulls led by four well into the third quarter but completed an 80-yard touchdown drive with about 17 minutes to go in the game to lead by 11, right even with the closing spread, with numbers from -10½ to -12 possible. For Akron Kato Nelson was intercepted at the Buffalo 25-yard-line and the Bulls added another touchdown early in the fourth quarter to lead by 18 and the Zips didn’t provide a credible threat after that.

Florida International (-1) 24, Middle Tennessee State 21: These Conference USA foes were tied at halftime but a strong punt return helped put the Blue Raiders in front in the third quarter playing behind backup quarterback Asher O’Hara. Florida International missed a field goal on its next possession but added three early in the fourth quarter to trail by five. Later in the fourth the Panthers put together an 84-yard touchdown drive that included three 3rd down conversions, going in front with about four minutes remaining. Up by one, the two-point conversion was a huge play relative to the spread that was at -2 or -2½ much of the week. The Panthers were able to convert for a three-point lead but faced a late threat from the Blue Raiders. Middle Tennessee State picked up 28 yards on a 4th-and-10 play just across midfield to reach the FIU 15-yard-line but on 3rd-and-long O’Hara was intercepted in the end zone.

Utah State (-27½) 59, Unlv 28: The Aggies dominated this game with a 42-7 edge at the half but relative to the spread things got interesting late as the margin was trimmed to 24 points with about three minutes remaining after the Rebels connected for a 79-yard touchdown. With no reason to add points Utah State passed on 2nd down with a 24-point lead and just over two minutes remaining and then on 3rd-and-1 Henry Colombi broke through for a 37-yard touchdown to snag the clear home favorite cover for Utah State on a spread that jumped upwards from an opener of -23½.

Oregon (+3½) 30, Washington 27: The Huskies led much of the first half but Oregon continued to answer and these teams wound up locked at 17-17 at the break and then 24-24 through three quarters. Early in the fourth quarter the Ducks missed a 42-yard field goal but Washington failed to take advantage, fumbling in Oregon territory on a 4th-and-short attempt. Oregon shifted the field position but needed to punt with about five minutes remaining and Washington put together a great late drive that included a 4th down conversion. As time expires Peyton Henry missed a 37-yard field goal after being iced as overtime was needed. The Huskies picked up 19 yards on the first play of overtime but stalled and settled for a 22-yard kick. The Ducks converted a big 3rd-and-11 in overtime and then C.J. Verdell rushed for the game-winning touchdown on a 3rd down.

Northern Illinois (-5½) 24, Ohio 21: The Bobcats had a 21-9 lead on the road at the start of the fourth quarter but Northern Illinois delivered a comeback with two touchdowns including a two-point conversion to take a three-point lead with about five minutes remaining with Ohio fumbling on its possession in-between the scoring drives for the Huskies. The Bobcats had to punt after losing yardage and Northern Illinois broke a 32-yard run to reach the red zone late in the game. Northern Illinois would face 3rd-and-1 from the Ohio 10-yard-line with a potential field goal ahead had the Huskies been stopped. Tre Harbison got the yardage and the Huskies took on a knee on the doorstep to wind up just short of the spread.

Temple (-6½) 24, Navy 17: This game featured a big early week line move from -4½ up to -7 before some outlets settled back at -6½ Saturday morning. It didn’t seem likely to matter as the home underdog Midshipmen led by 10 into the third quarter. Temple hit a field goal to climb back within seven and then tied the game before the start of the fourth quarter. Navy made an aggressive call going for it on 4th-and-8 from the Temple 38 and came up with an incomplete pass and Temple took a shot and hit on the very next play with a 62-yard touchdown pass to suddenly lead by seven. The Owls were poised to add more points in the final minutes but Anthony Russo was intercepted in the end zone with about four minutes remaining to leave the final margin at 7 for a push for many though those on the Owls early or late snuck out a win.

North Texas (-7) 30, Southern Miss 7: The Mean Green reached a favorite line as high as -9½ before this line fell dramatically Saturday. It was a three-point game until the final minute of the third quarter as North Texas went up by just nine with the extra-point after that touchdown blocked. North Texas would pull away with two fourth quarter touchdowns to mask a fairly even statistical game as the Golden Eagles had 367 yards despite only seven points.

Northwestern (-3) 34, Nebraska 31: The winless Cornhuskers attracted a lot of attention this week opening as a nine-point underdog before closing at just +3. Nebraska looked like the winning side with a 28-14 edge early in the fourth quarter but the Wildcats struck quickly with a 61-yard touchdown pass and stayed in the game holding the Huskers to a field goal following an interception. The Wildcats got back within one score with a field goal following a 15-play drive that featured a pair of 4th down conversions. Northwestern held on defense but Nebraska special teams came through with a punt to the one-yard line. In the final two minutes Northwestern delivered the 99-yard touchdown drive, tying the game with 12 seconds left to force overtime. Going first Nebraska faced 4th-and-1 from the 16 and opted to go for it but got a bad snap as Adrian Martinez had to heave a pass to the end zone amidst pressure, ultimately intercepted. Northwestern conservatively picked up a few yards and kicked the winning field goal for a closing line push though many still collected on Nebraska tickets.

Alabama (-28) 39, Missouri 10: The top ranked Tide led just 13-10 through the first quarter as it looked like Missouri might provide a solid test. Alabama pushed its advantage to 30-10 by halftime and added a safety as the third quarter ended. That meant just a 22-point edge however but it didn’t take long for Alabama to slip past the spread with a touchdown run early in the fourth to lead by 29. Missouri reached the Alabama 7-yard-line on its next possession but failed going for it on 4th down as Alabama broke its three-game ATS losing streak.

Florida (-9½) 37, Vanderbilt 27: This spread sat around -7 most of the week before climbing to as high as 10 on Saturday and closing at -9½. Vanderbilt took a 21-3 lead early as the spread differences didn’t appear likely to matter. Florida would score 10 points in the final three minutes before halftime and was within one through three quarters. The Gators broke a 48 yard run to lead 27-21 early in the fourth quarter but Vanderbilt added a field goal after a Florida fumble. The Gators maintained control with a steady touchdown drive to lead by 10 with eight minutes to go. Vanderbilt added a long field goal to briefly get back within seven but Florida hit a field goal with 37 seconds remaining to earn the favorite cover with the 10-point win.

Michigan a 7-point fave at Michigan State in college football Week 8 opening odds
Patrick Everson

Quarterback Brian Lewerke and Michigan State upset host Penn State in Week 7, but oddsmakers still made the Spartans 7-point home underdogs against instate rival Michigan in Week 8.

A bragging-rights battle in the Great Lakes State is among the highlights on college football’s Week 8 docket. Covers checks in on the opening lines and early action for four matchups, with insights from Derek Wilkinson, sportsbook supervisor at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.
No. 7 Michigan Wolverines at Michigan State Spartans (+7)

Michigan State was a bit uneven while going off as a favorite in its first five games, but looked just fine in its first outing as an underdog. The Spartans (4-2 SU, 2-4 ATS) were catching 13.5 points at Penn State in Week 7 and hung around throughout, winning 21-17 on a last-minute touchdown.

Michigan has six straight wins since falling in its season opener at Notre Dame. In Week 7, the Wolverines (6-1 SU, 4-3 ATS) hammered Wisconsin 38-13 as 10-point home favorites. Jim Harbaugh’s troops could have revenge on their mind after losing 14-10 as hefty 13-point home faves last year.

In fact, Sparty has cashed the last 10 in this rivalry, going 8-2 SU.

“This line would be higher if these teams weren’t instate rivals,” Wilkinson said. “Michigan is definitely the superior team. Even though it’s in East Lansing, I think the smart money will be on Michigan and that the line will probably go to -7.5 in a day or two.”

No. 11 Oregon Ducks at No. 23 Washington State Cougars (Pick)

Oregon sits at 5-1 SU and could easily be undefeated if not for some questionable play-calling late in the fourth quarter of what became an overtime home loss to Stanford. The Ducks (2-4 ATS) rebounded with a pair of wins, including a 30-27 Week 7 overtime victory against Washington as 3.5-point home underdogs.

Washington State could also have been unbeaten heading into this matchup, giving Southern California all it could handle in a 3-point loss in Week 4. The Cougars (5-1 SU) lead the nation with a perfect 6-0 ATS mark, narrowly cashing as 18.5-point faves in a 56-37 win at Oregon State in Week 6.

The Cougars had a bye this past week.

“We actually like Oregon to win this one, but we opened it at pick because some other books have Washington State favored by as many as 2 points,” Wilkinson said. “I think everyone will be at pick or Oregon -1 by Saturday.”

No. 10 Oklahoma Sooners at Texas Christian Horned Frogs (+7.5)

Perennial College Football Playoff contender Oklahoma enters this game off a much-needed bye, after stubbing its toe in Week 6 against Texas. The Sooners (5-1 SU, 2-4 ATS) had to rally throughout, trailing 45-24 well into the fourth quarter, and came up short in a 48-45 loss laying 7 points in a neutral-site game.

Texas Christian is not having its typical top-25 season, sitting at .500 through six games. The Horned Frogs (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) tumbled to Texas Tech in a Week 7 Thursday nighter, losing 17-14 as 7.5-point home favorites.

“TCU doesn’t have the caliber of team that it’s had in past years,” Wilkinson said. “I’m anticipating that line to either stay at 7.5 or possibly go up to 8.”

Mississippi State Bulldogs at Louisiana State Tigers (-6.5)

Louisiana State saw its perfect record go by the wayside in Week 6 at Florida, but came back in one of the most resounding ways possible. The Tigers (6-1 SU, 4-3 ATS) were 7-point home underdogs to Georgia in Week 7, but showed up big in a 36-16 rout.

Mississippi State got out of the gate 3-0 SU and ATS, dumped two in a row, then got back on track with a 23-9 Week 6 win over Auburn getting 3 points at home. The Bulldogs (4-2 SU and ATS) had a bye in Week 7.

“LSU might blow this game wide open at home, so I think that line is going to go to at least 7,” Wilkinson said. “It’ll be interesting to see where the sharp money goes. I think it’ll be on LSU.”

Hot & Not Report

Week of October 15th

With last week's piece focusing on recent happenings in the NFL, it is safe to say at least one of those trends reversed course in Week 6. That would be a week without a close game for Cleveland, as the Cleveland Browns finally got blown out. All the fatigue – mental and physical – of playing in tight games and multiple OT games through the first five weeks may have finally caught up to them.

However, even with the Eagles bucking two strong trends on TNF of winning ATS as the road team and as a road favorite, the trend of backing road favorites in the NFL this year still came out with a losing record 3-4 ATS for the week. Philly (TNF), Seattle (in London), and the Baltimore Ravens were the only visitors laying chalk to cash a ticket, as Chicago, Carolina, Jacksonville, and the L.A Rams all coming up short ATS-wise, as the former three teams ended up losing SU as well.

So the record was better for road favorites at 3-4 ATS in Week 6, but road favorites are still on a 5-13 ATS run over the past four weeks. That isn't ideal for the NFL teams in road favorite spots for this upcoming week, as the likes of Denver, Minnesota, New England, and the L.A Rams are all in that role for Week 7.

But this week it's back to the collegiate ranks after a weekend full of upsets in the college football world proved once again that Top 25 rankings are a nice simply way to judge teams, but they really don't mean a whole lot until at least after Halloween. Eight different programs that entered last week lost outright this past weekend, as the entire landscape got a nice mid-October shake-up. It's these teams (and rankings) that are my focus today.

Who's Hot

Anybody ATS against Top 25 ranked squads – Especially at Home or as Underdogs

Of the eight Top 25 teams to lose outright this past week, six of those SU losses came on the road, with four of the six home teams catching points. All four of those home dogs obviously won the game outright so ATS wins followed, but even the home sides in the Wisconsin/Michigan and Colorado/USC games which had Top 25 teams on the road saw the home favorite win SU and ATS as well.

That's not to mention that other home teams hosting Top 25 foes this past week finished the weekend off with a 1-2 ATS record in three close games, with both of those ATS losses coming by the hook with Vanderbilt losing by 10 at +9.5 and South Carolina losing by 3 at +2.5. So if you're going to take down a Top 25 program this year as a fringe type squad, you'd better hope that game is at least at home.

However, being on the road isn't all bad for teams up against Top 25 squads either, especially if it's somewhat of an “easy” opponent for those Top 25 schools, where they are expected to win easily and move on to bigger things. This week we saw the likes of Ohio State, Auburn (one of the outright losers at home), Notre Dame, Texas, Penn State (other outright loser at home), and Alabama go a combined 1-5 ATS this week, with only Alabama's 29-point win as 28.5-point home favorites as the lone winner.

That's an ugly record to say the least, as seemingly every year bettors buy into these CFB rankings earlier than needed (really ever needed), and not fully grasp that the point spread can be the great equalizer. To have a week where Top 25 teams go 3-9 ATS (eliminating games where Top 25 played another Top 25) overall and having all three of those ATS wins come by the hook in each individual game is really surprising.

Sometimes you'd think the rankings would be more accurate than they seem to be, but right now don't worry about these weekly Top 25 rankings that come out nationally except for one thing.

Who's Not

Top 25 teams on the road – 2-7 ATS last week; 4-12 ATS last two weeks

Ignoring the CFB rankings should happen all the time from a handicapping perspective if you ask me, unless you are using them as a great guideline of teams to “fade” as their stock becomes overvalued. The fact that we had a week of numerous ranked squads go down shouldn't be that surprising, it happens every year in college, and when you go back and see that it was a bit of a perfect storm with so many of them on the road, you'll see that Top 25 teams away from home are generally ones that should top your “fade” list every week.

I've already discussed how last week's record for Top 25 ATS teams was 2-7 ATS with both victories coming by the hook. A bounce or two the other way and it could have easily been a goose egg for those squads as it goes to show you just how hard it can be for talented college teams to win in hostile territory.

So who do we've got that fits the bill of being visitors this week and should be near the top of your “fade” list?

Well, #9 Oklahoma is the first candidate as they are currently -7.5 on the road against a slumping TCU team. Oklahoma is off a bye week though after the Red River Rivalry loss, so keep that in mind as well.

Secondly, we've got #20 Cincinnati (+4) on the road against Temple, while the #6 Michigan Wolverines look to keep their playoff hopes alive as -7 road chalk in East Lansing against #24 Michigan State. The Spartans are off a huge upset win at Penn State, so a possible letdown scenario does exist, but given how big that Michigan/Michigan State rivalry game is, I wouldn't back a possible letdown spot for the Spartans.

After that, we've got #1 Alabama (-28.5), #18 Penn State (-14), #16 NC State (+16), #10 UCF (-21), #22 Mississippi State (+6.5), #2 Ohio State (-14), and #12 Oregon (pick'em) as ranked teams out on the road this week. Both NC State and Mississippi State are underdogs as they visit a much higher ranked foe (Clemson and LSU respectively), and are probably going to struggle to cover the number as is.

But don't be surprised to see plays against all these 10 ranked road teams come out with a winning record when all the dust has settled Saturday night, it has happened the last two weeks after all.

The Cure for What Ails Them?

The Northwestern Wildcats are saddled with one of the worst running games in all of Division I – but things might turn around for them this Saturday as they take on the host Rutgers Scarlet Knights. The Wildcats enter the weekend averaging a dismal 69.1 rushing yards per game on 2.2 yards per carry; both of those figures rank them 128th out of 129 Division I teams. But while the Wildcats are happy to lean on a passing game that produces more than 320 yards per contest, they might feel compelled to run more against a Scarlet Knights team allowing an incredible 237.7 yards per game (5.92 YPC).

Northwestern is a 20.5-point favorite with a game total of 49, putting Rutgers' team total in the 14-to-15-point range. If the Wildcats can made headway on the ground, they could control this one from start to finish, making the under on the Scarlet Knights' total a strong option.

Tate Out for Arizona

A nightmare season has taken another rough turn for Khalil Tate. The Arizona Wildcats quarterback will miss this Saturday's Pac-12 encounter with UCLA as he recovers from a left ankle injury he initially suffered in Week 2. Tate, who compiled more than 1,400 rushing yards last season, has been limited to a paltry 112 yards on 46 attempts in 2018 due to the balky ankle, which knocked him out of last Friday's game against Utah after just two series. Tate's passing has taken a hit this season as well; he has completed just 53.4 percent of his attempts with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions.

The Bruins are favored by a touchdown against the visiting Wildcats, and will now face inexperienced Rhett Rodriguez under center. UCLA has covered six of the last seven games between the teams, and are a good bet to extend that run Saturday.

That's a Wrap for Reynolds

The Charlotte 49ers have lost their starting quarterback for the remainder of the season. Freshman Chris Reynolds will miss the rest of the 2018 campaign after underdoing surgery on his ankle, which he injured in the third quarter of Saturday's game against Western Kentucky. It's a significant development for the 49ers, with Reynolds having completed better than 63 percent of his passes for 1,181 yards with six TDs and two INTs. That success rate helped lead Charlotte to the second-best time of possession average in the country at just under 37 minutes per game.

Reynolds' ability to move the chains will be missed greatly by the 49ers, who 17.5-point underdogs at Middle Tennessee State. Bettors should downgrade the Charlotte offense, which produced just 15 touchdowns in 27 red-zone trips, and take the under on the team total, which sits at around 16 points.

Tua Bad, Tennessee

The Alabama Crimson Tide are expecting to have quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the lineup for Saturday's encounter with Tennessee. Tagovailoa suffered a knee injury in last weekend's one-sided win over Missouri, but head coach Nick Saban said after the game that his prized pass-thrower could have returned if necessary and is expected to practice all week. Tagovailoa, who remains the overwhelming -200 favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, threw for 265 yards and three scores against the Tigers and remains perfect on the season with 21 TD passes against zero interceptions.

Alabama is a whopping 29-point road favorite against the Volunteers. Tagovailoa will likely see only three quarters of action – if that – before ceding to Jalen Hurts. That's a downgrade – and given how Tennessee fared last week, it might be a struggle for the Crimson Tide to cover such a big spread on the road with their No. 1 QB not at 100 percent.

Stanford at Arizona State
Joe Nelson

This week’s Thursday night game is a Pac-12 clash between Stanford and Arizona State. While the conference may have already played its way out of the national playoff hunt, both division races are still up for grabs and these teams are still viable contenders to play for the championship in December. Here is a look at the Thursday night game to start the next week of college football.

Match-up: Stanford Cardinal at Arizona State Sun Devils
Venue: At Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona
Time/TV: Thursday, October 18, 9:00 PM ET ESPN
Line: Stanford -2½, Over/Under 56
Last Meeting: 2017, at Stanford (-17) 34, Arizona State 24

Stanford was expected by many to be not just a Pac-12 contender, but a serious threat to make a run at a spot in the College Football Playoff. The season started out impressively with wins over San Diego State and USC, holding those respectable foes to a combined 13 points in home victories. Stanford then seemed to perhaps be a team of destiny with an improbable comeback to win in overtime at Oregon as well.

In a huge game at Notre Dame in a matchup of teams in the top 10 of the polls in late September, the Cardinal were blown out with a 38-17 defeat. The next week playing without star running back Bryce Love, Stanford fared just as poorly back at home with a 40-21 loss to Utah. Stanford is still 2-1 in Pac-12 play, but has a difficult game remaining at Washington in a few weeks as another good but mildly disappointing season for David Shaw appears to be underway.

Last year, Stanford won the Pac-12 North and lost a competitive Pac-12 Championship game with USC before losing in a tight Alamo Bowl against TCU. The 9-5 finish matched the most losses for Shaw since he took over in 2011, but the team had high hopes for 2018 with Love returning and K.J. Costello showing great promise after taking over at quarterback midway through the 2017 season.

Shaw has an impressive track record currently with a 77-24 record at Stanford halfway through his eighth season, going 51-15 in Pac-12 play while winning five division titles and three conference championships. Shaw has two Rose Bowl wins as well, but the Cardinal have lost at least two games in every season to never seriously threaten in the national picture and this year’s team will be no different already with two defeats.

Last year’s team had the worst statistical defense that Shaw has fielded and the defense so far this season has struggled, allowing 400 yards per game despite only surrendering 22 points per game. Opponents have rushed for 164 yards per game against Stanford while the Cardinal has shockingly been one of the worst rushing offenses in the nation, averaging 86 yards per game on the ground with 3.1 yards per rush.

Love finished second in the Heisman voting last season with 2,118 rushing yards, 19 touchdowns and 8.1 yards per rush. He has missed two games this season and has barely average half of last season’s per carry average posting 4.3 yards per rush and only 327 total yards at this point in the season for a very disappointing senior campaign. He is a question mark this week with the lingering ankle injury.

Costello didn’t play the full season last year, but he already has thrown more interceptions and taken more sacks in his six starts this season for Stanford. He has thrown for 12 touchdowns on nearly 8.9 yards per attempt and his completion rate is up by nearly four percent as the offense has been effective in the passing game with a massive receiving corps led by JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

Herm Edwards was considered a curious hire at Arizona State following the departure of Todd Graham after six seasons. Graham was famously poached from Pittsburgh after just one season and was fairly successful for the Sun Devils making a bowl game in five of six years and winning the Pac-12 South in 2013. Edwards finished 20 games below .500 as a NFL head coach and had never been a head coach at the college level, actually only an assistant for three years as a position coach at San Jose State in the late ‘80s. He had also not been on the sidelines at all in a decade, emerging as a prominent TV personality on ESPN’s NFL coverage.

The Sun Devils made an early splash this season with a home upset of Michigan State, but the Sun Devils are just 3-3 on the season including 1-2 in Pac-12 play. All three losses have come on the road and all were decided by just seven points for competitive games. The remaining schedule for Arizona State is difficult still with USC, Utah, and Oregon on the schedule with two of those three games on the road as this is a critical home date if the Sun Devils are to make a bowl game.

Manny Wilkins has been a productive quarterback for the Sun Devils with nearly 1,500 yards passing and 11 touchdowns with only one interception so far this season. Arizona State has also been one of the better rushing teams in the conference led by Eno Benjamin who has 715 rushing yards on 5.7 yards per carry, currently ninth nationally and second in the Pac-12 in rushing yards.

Arizona State has held foes to just 3.8 yards per rush this season while the pass defense has posted average results with numbers just slightly better than Stanford has posted, through a lesser overall schedule so far. The scoring defense numbers are also nearly identical for these teams and a close game should be expected under the lights in Thursday’s national TV game, coinciding with a Thursday night NFL game 22 miles northwest in Glendale.

Last season: These teams met in late September last season with matching 2-2 records. Arizona State had just defeated Oregon to recover from narrow losses to San Diego State and Texas Tech. Stanford won its opener last season in Australia but then lost to USC and San Diego State in road games before blasting UCLA ahead of this game. It was a back-and-forth game early with the teams trading scores until halftime with a 24-17 edge for the Cardinal as a heavy favorite. Bryce Love broke a 59-yard run in the third quarter but it was a one-score game in the final minutes until a late Stanford field goal. Stanford had a 504-409 yardage edge and a 2-1 edge in turnovers. Love emerged as a serious Heisman threat with 301 yards and three touchdowns, eclipsing 1,000 yards for the season in just his fifth game.

Historical Trends:

Arizona State has a 17-12 S/U edge since 1981 in this series with a 6-3 ATS mark since 2006, though Stanford has won S/U in five of the last six meetings.

Arizona State won the last home meeting in 2014 as a home underdog 26-10, while going 11-4 S/U and 9-6 ATS in the home meetings of this series since 1982.

The Sun Devils are on a 13-5 ATS run as a home underdog since 2009, winning outright in six of nine instances since 2016.

Arizona State is 12-4 S/U and ATS overall at home since 2016.

Stanford is 27-13 S/U and 22-17-1 ATS in road games under Shaw since 2011, going 16-13-1 ATS as a road favorite in that span. Since the start of last season, Stanford is just 1-5-1 ATS in road games.

BOWMAN NOT A “FULL GO”

Alan Bowman is making progress in his recovery from a collapsed lung, but the Texas Tech quarterback might not be ready to return to action this weekend against the visiting Kansas Jayhawks. Red Raiders head coach Kliff Kingsbury acknowledged Tuesday that Bowman is "easing his way back in," but wouldn't offer a timetable for the QB's return. Bowman suffered the injury in Texas Tech's 42-34 loss to West Virginia on Sept. 29; the freshman has had a sensational season to date, passing for nearly 1,700 yards with 11 touchdown passes and just three interceptions.

Jett Duffey or McLane Starter will start in Bowman's place against the Jayhawks; Carter himself is banged up, while Duffey has thrown twice as many INTs (4) as TDs (2). The Red Raiders are -18.5 vs. Kansas but are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games and could be a stretch to cover against a Jayhawks team that leads the nation in turnover differential (+13).

LOVE ON THE FIELD?

The Stanford Cardinal might be getting their one-time Heisman Trophy candidate back this weekend against host Arizona State. Head coach David Shaw says he's "hopeful" that running back Bryce Love will make it back from an ankle injury that has limited him to just 76 carries so far this season. Love, who entered 2018 as one of the top Heisman Trophy picks in the nation, has appeared in just four games and has only one 100-yard rushing performance to his credit; he racked up 100 or more yards in 12 of the 13 games in which he appeared in 2017 en route to a 2,118-yard season.

Love's return will give a much-needed shot in the arm to a Stanford running game averaging the fourth-fewest yards per game in the nation (85.7). A return to form would also allow the Cardinal to keep their beleaguered defense off the field, making the over on their point total (28.5) and the under on the ASU total (27.5) viable options if Love does come back.

FROST’S SEAT GETTING HOTTER

Scott Frost couldn't have imagined going into the back half of October still looking for his first win as head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. And yet, here he is, carrying a six-game losing streak into Saturday's home date with Minnesota. An inconsistent offense (23.3 ppg) and dismal defense (38.3) have been factors, but the Cornhuskers aren't doing themselves any favors by leading the country in penalty yards per game (96) while ranking second-last in infractions per contest (10.17). That could prove to be a problem against a Golden Gophers team ranked 20th in fewest penalty yards per game (43.17).

Lines don't often account for things like discipline – and it's clear that Minnesota is way ahead in that category, providing the kind of field-position advantage that should produce tangible results on the scoreboard. With Nebraska owning a 61-24 edge in penalty flags, bettors should consider taking the Golden Gophers +3.5 to extend Frost's misery.

VOL-UNTARY MANSLAUGHTER

Who's next? That's what Alabama fans and bettors are no doubt thinking after the Crimson Tide curb stomped Missouri 39-10 last week, keeping the Tigers scoreless over the final three quarters. The Tennessee Volunteers are next on the list – and they'll need to be a lot better in their own red zone if they hope to cover the four-TD spread. Tennessee has allowed points on every opposing trip to the red zone, one of only five teams in that group – and while the Tide's red-zone success rate is a modest 82.5 percent, they've made more journeys into the opposing red zone (40) than any other team in the country.

Alabama's team total sits at 43 as of Wednesday; if it remains in this neighborhood, we recommend taking the over. The Tide have scored fewer than that just once this season and should have no trouble converting their red-zone chances Saturday.

Week 8 Upset Alerts
By Sportsbetting

It was a 2-1 ATS week for this piece last week, as I was finally able to hit another small underdog both ATS and on the ML. Oregon's win over Washington was impressive, but this week the Ducks better hope they don't get caught in the same trap as the higher ranked squad on the road when they visit Washington State. Without question, it's a tough spot for Oregon this week as Washington State is one of three college football teams that are perfect ATS this year (6-0 ATS).

Wyoming's struggles against the number continued as Fresno State blew the Cowboys out from start to finish, making Wyoming winless against the spread (0-6 ATS) since their Week 1 win over New Mexico State. It looks as though that program really needs to find an offensively identity again and that's not going to be a quick discovery.

Finally, my perfect ATS run this year on taking +20 or bigger underdogs remained in tact with Minnesota hanging around against Ohio State for at least the 1st half (trailed 17-14) and it was enough to easily get the ATS win. The Buckeyes looked a little hungover from their big win against Penn State the week prior in getting off to that slow start, but as it tends to do with all 20-point or bigger favorites, talent eventually wins out in the end and Ohio State was able to remain perfect.

Hopefully this week's plays can at least match last week's results, so let's get right to them:

Upset Alert #1: Underdogs in the +1 to +9 range

YTD: 2-6 SU; 2-6 ATS

Maryland +9 over Iowa

This spread would have never qualified for this range of plays having opened up at +13.5, but the steam on Maryland early this week is not without merit. The Terrapins are catching Iowa in a very tough spot this weekend, and with Maryland already showing they were able to bounce back from that Michigan loss rather quickly, this is simply too many points to give the Terrapins here.

Iowa is back at home after consecutive road wins against Minnesota and Indiana where the usually defensive-minded Hawkeyes scored 40+ in each win. Those two games were the first time this year that Iowa scored 40+, and with them coming back home this week you can understand why oddsmakers had to initially give Iowa's offense some respect initially.

However, when you see that this home game is actually a brutal sandwich spot for Iowa – after those two road wins and before two road games at Penn State and at Purdue – do not be surprised to see the Hawkeyes be quite flat in this spot. Opening the season with four straight home games and a bye week felt good in the midst of it, but eventually this program was going to have to pay for that schedule-wise and it appears as though this is the spot: Back at home as sizable favorites, off two blowout wins, and a Top 25 team in Penn State on deck.

As long as Maryland's offense is able to be the strength of the team that they are and move the ball/put up points, there aren't too many reasons to think that the Terrapins can't pull off the outright upset here. Iowa's defense has been a little leaky of late, and although Maryland's defense isn't that good, they should do enough to contain a suspect Iowa offense that's overdue for a regression back to a 17-20 point effort.

Maryland's offense should finish this game right around the 20-point mark too, as all these points are worth grabbing.

Upset Alert #2: Underdogs in the +10 to +19 range

YTD: 1-6 SU; 4-3 ATS

Kansas +18.5 over Texas Tech

Speaking of sandwich spots, the Texas Tech Red Raiders do have a extra few days of rest in their pockets this week after beating TCU last Thursday, but playing a team like Kansas that has been a doormat for Big 12 teams for years probably couldn't come at a worse time for the Red Raiders. Let me explain:

Texas Tech should probably win this game outright because everybody beats Kansas, but this is far too many points to expect the Red Raiders to win by here. This game comes after four straight weeks of tough games – vs Houston, at OK State, vs West Virginia, at TCU – where Texas Tech ended up going 3-1 SU and ATS when they were lined as underdogs in three of the four games and closed as a pick'em in the fourth. That's four straight weeks (with a bye week in between) of intense focus and quality play by the Red Raiders, and it's going to be nearly impossible to maintain that type of focus this week against Kansas. And that's without looking ahead to who's on deck for the Red Raiders.

Following this week's game vs Kansas, Texas Tech travels to face Iowa State, before hosting Oklahoma and Texas in consecutive weeks. Considering how well the Red Raiders have gotten results so far this year, you can probably excuse them on a personal level if they don't bring 100% focus to this game against Kansas. Off a big upset win, and even bigger games approaching, Texas Tech is lucky to even have one eye on the Jayhawks this week.

So while you may be able to forgive these 18-22 year-olds on a personal level for actually acting their age and looking past a weaker opponent, as a handicapper, I'm looking to be just like the NCAA and exploit these kids and this spot from a betting perspective.

Kansas may not be the best team, but they have had two weeks to prepare for this meeting and are coming off a tough game at West Virginia where a 38-22 loss was easily more than enough for the ATS win. But that was only the first time in Big 12 play this year that the Jayhawks covered a point spread, so you can understand why there would be some trepidation in wanting to back Kansas this week (or any week for that matter).

But back-to-back weeks of scoring 20+ for this Jayhawks offense is a good sign, and if they can use their ground game to not only add variety into their attack but lengthen drives, Kansas should find themselves in this game with a sluggish Texas Tech team from the start. Throw in a few forced turnovers like Kansas had against West Virginia (forced 4 TO's), and this game should stay well within this number.

Upset Alert #3: Underdogs in the +20 and above range

YTD: 7-0 ATS

UTEP +23.5 over Louisiana Tech

Well you had to figure that eventually this perfect run of backing large underdogs would be putting it's faith into some very bad teams once conference play was in full swing, and that's exactly what we've got this week. Conference rivals tend to have less of a disparity in talent level compared to when you get all those Power 5 vs Mid-Major matchups early on where 20+ point spreads are the norm. This week we actually have more 20+ 'dogs then we did a week ago, but it's fitting that my perfect ATS run streak this year with these big dogs is turning to a program that has lost 18 games in a row SU like UTEP. They've got to be due right?

Literally thinking that way (“Team A is due”) will quickly get you into trouble in the betting business, but UTEP does stand out as one of the best big underdogs to play on this week. The Miners are 0-6 SU this year and on a 0-18 SU run, but there have been signs of improvement as this program continues to search for respectability.

UTEP has covered the number in three of their last four games overall, with the most recent three losses all coming in conference play and none being by more than nine points. The Miners last time out on the field was two weeks ago against North Texas, and as 26-point underdogs, UTEP managed to give North Texas all they could handle and then some in the 27-24 UTEP defeat. The Miners were that close to ending their winless run, and you know everyone on that roster has been chomping at the bit to get back on the field after that game.

So here is the Miners shot, after a bye week, and facing a Louisiana Tech team that lost their last home game by 21 points when they were laying a full TD. The Bulldogs are easily the more talented bunch, but similar to Iowa's schedule mentioned earlier, this is also just a quick stop at home for Louisiana Tech before three of their next four games are on the road, including trips to Florida Atlantic and Mississippi State on deck. That's not the greatest spot to be in to try and cover a big number like this, even if it is UTEP across the field from you.

And similar to Texas Tech's game vs Kansas, it's going to be easy for Louisiana Tech to completely disregard/overlook a UTEP program that's been disastrous for years now. Teams that expect to simply show up and win games are great to have as a casual sports fan of those squads because the basis of it means they are pretty good, but in the betting world, I do not want to lay a massive amount of points with teams that go into games with that mindset. And like my thoughts on Texas Tech falling victim to that hubris, Louisiana Tech gets tripped up by the same move this week against lowly UTEP.

LSU FOR THREE?

The LSU Tigers are on a high following last week's stunning 20-point win over Georgia – but things don't get any easier for Ed Orgeron's troops as they host a strong Mississippi State team Saturday. The Tigers are well-positioned to make a run at a spot in the College Football Playoff – but to do so, they'll need to improve what has been a rather ordinary red zone offense. While LSU has converted 31 of their 33 trips inside the opponents' 20-yard line into points, they've scored just 17 touchdowns while settling for a whopping 14 field goals – more than any other team in the nation.

With Mississippi State having held foes to four TDs and seven FGs in 14 red-zone trips, it might be worth considering taking the field goal as LSU's first scoring play, which pays out at a tempting +250.

HERE COMES ROSIER (AGAIN)

The Miami Hurricanes are off this week, but that hasn't prevented them from making major headlines. Head coach Mark Richt says he'll be going back to senior quarterback Malik Rosier as his starter, promoting him in place of N'Kosi Perry. "Right this minute I think Malik is better equipped from his ability and his experiences to lead this team," Richt told reporters. It's a bit of a shock given how Rosier has performed so far this season, completing just 52.1 percent of his passes for 781 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions. Miami returns to action Oct. 26 against host Boston College.

Bettors interested in getting out in front here should consider that Rosier has completed less than half his passes with three TDs and three INTs on the road. The Eagles are also on a bye this week, and are in great position to cover behind a well-rested defense that enters this week ranked fourth in the nation in sacks per game (3.57).
