    AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE (AAC)
    -- Cincinnati grinded out a low-scoring win against visiting Temple, 15-13. It wasn't pretty, but the Bearcats were able to pick up the win and keep their hopes alive for a New Year's Day bowl game. While the Bearcats have won nine in a row straight-up, they're just 1-4 ATS across the past five. The 'under' has connected in three in a row for Cincinnati, and four of the past five. Next up is a date with Memphis. ... As far as the Tigers are concerned, they belted South Florida around by a 49-10 score at the RayJay, winning for the fifth straight weekend while going 4-1 ATS during the span. Perhaps the only surprise in this one is that the 'under' connected, snapping a 7-0 'over' run for Memphis. ... Navy outlasted SMU, 35-28. The Mustangs have dropped two of the past three, while going 0-4 ATS across the past four. The 'under' connected in this one for SMU, too, their first under result after a 9-0-1 'over' run to open the season.

    ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE (ACC)
    -- It wasn't a banner day for the ACC. Miami-Florida suffered an embarrassing loss against Florida International at Marlins Park in Miami, the site of the old Orange Bowl. It was Miami's first win in four meetings with FIU, who actually was the last winner in the old Orange Bowl against North Texas back in 2007. ... Georgia Tech picked up a 28-26 win against North Carolina State on Thursday, 28-26. The line fluctuated tremendously, but if you were holding a Wolfpack ticket +2.5, consider yourself very fortunate. The loss means Dave Doeren's bunch will be watching television during bowl season, as they suffered their seventh loss. ... Wake Forest finished off their sweep of the Tar Heel State, topping Duke, 39-27. The Demon Deacons topped UNC, Elon, N.C. State and Duke, going 4-0 SU/ATS. Overall they're 8-3 SU, but just 3-4 ATS across the past seven. This 'over' result slapped the brakes on a 4-0 'under' streak. The under is 7-2 across the past nine for Wake.

    BIG TEN
    -- Penn State hung with Ohio State in the 'Shoe before the Buckeyes pulled away for the win, keeping them on track for the Big Ten Championship Game, a potential playoff berth, and what they hope is a national title. After an 8-0 ATS run from Sept. 7 to Nov. 9, the Buckeyes have failed to cover in back-to-back games. ... Michigan had the offense rolling, posting a 39-14 victory at Indiana. Under bettors were pleased by how this one finished up (see below). The Wolverines have won four straight, and covered five in a row, heading into their season-ending showdown against the rival Buckeyes at The Big House next Saturday. ... Minnesota snapped back on track with a 38-22 win at Northwestern. The Golden Gophers moved to 10-1 SU, and they're 7-1 ATS across the past eight after an 0-2-1 ATS start. They'll battle Wisconsin for Paul Bunyan's Axe, and a ticket to the Big Ten title game. ... Illinois suffered a 19-10 loss at Iowa, but they picked up their fifth straight cover as a double-digit underdog. They won't be double-digit 'dogs next week at home against the Wildcats. In fact, the Illini is likely to be favored. They're 3-1 1 SU/2-2 ATS as a favorite this season.

    BIG 12
    -- Oklahoma hung on for a 28-24 win over TCU, but they failed to cover for the fourth consecutive game, and sixth time in the past seven outings. Next up is the Bedlam rivalry game against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys posted a 20-13 win at West Virginia, winning for the fourth straight game, going 3-0-1 ATS during the span. The 'under' is 3-1 in the past four for OSU, too. ... Baylor posted the 24-10 victory over rival Texas, hanging the Longhorns their fifth loss of the season. The Bears have covered three in a row, and the 'under' has cashed in three of the past four. For the 'Horns, they're 1-3 SU across the past four outings, while going 1-4 ATS across the past five. The 'under' has hit in three in a row for Texas, as they limp into the finale against Texas Tech.

    CONFERENCE USA
    -- Marshall was tripped up by Charlotte, suffering a costly loss in their pursuit of the East Division title in Conference USA. The 24-13 loss snapped a five-game winning streak by the Thundering Herd. It was the third straight 'under' for the Herd, too. ... For the 49ers, they clinched bowl eligibility for the first time since bumping up to the FBS level. The 49ers have won four straight, recovering from a 2-5 SU/ATS start to go 4-0 SU/3-1 ATS across the past four. The 'under' has cashed in three in a row for Charlotte, too. ... Western Kentucky went down to Southern Miss and surprised the Golden Eagles in Hattiesburg, and it's now a three-way tie atop the West. USM will have to travel to Boca Raton to battle Florida Atlantic next week. The Owls were the beneficiaries of Marshall's loss, and they have to top USM next week to host the Conference USA title game in Boca Raton on Dec. 7. They went to Texas-San Antonio and won 40-26. The Owls have scored 28 or more points in nine straight outings. The non-cover snapped a 3-0 ATS run, but they're still 5-2 ATS across the past seven. ... How about Rice? They earned their first win last week after an 0-9 start, and they won a second straight against North Texas. The 'under' is 3-1 in the past four for the Owls.

    MID-AMERICAN (MAC)
    -- Kent State pushed past Ball State by a 41-38 score as a three-point underdog on Saturday. The Golden Flashes improved to 5-6 SU, and they can attain bowl eligibility at Eastern Michigan next Friday. The Flashes are 3-0 ATS in the past three, and 5-1 ATS in the past six. The 'over' is also a perfect 3-0 over the past three for KSU. ... Miami-Akron wasn't supposed to be that interesting of a game, but it was. The Redhawks already had the East Division sewn up, so perhaps they took their foot off the gas in their mid-week game against the winless Zips. The ended up holding on for the win, but the Zips posted their first cover, snapping an 0-10 ATS skid to open the season. Akron was the last FBS team to earn a cover.

    MOUNTAIN WEST
    -- The Nevada-Fresno State game was a fun ride. The Wolf Pack fired out to a 14-0 lead as two-touchdown underdogs, but the Bulldogs rattled off 28 unanswered points. Nevada bounced back with 21 unanswered points of their own to win 35-28, picking up their seventh win of the season. They also dealt Fresno their death blow with a seventh loss, meaning no bowl game. ... Hawaii scratched out a 14-11 win over San Diego State, punching their ticket to the Mountain West title game on Dec. 7 at Boise State. The Warriors have won a season-high three in a row, and they have covered in back-to-back games for just the second time this season. ... For the Broncos, they annihilated Utah State by a 56-21 score in Logan. Boise has won four in a row, and covered each of the past two after an 0-3 ATS skid from Oct. 19-Nov. 9. They'll get a rematch with the Warriors in the MWC title game. They won 59-37 as 13-point favorites against Hawaii on the Smurf Turf back on Oct. 12, hitting the 'over'.

    PAC-12
    -- Oregon-Arizona State was supposed to be just a tune-up for the Ducks, as they carried the flag for the Pac-12. The Ducks were supposed to be a playoff team, but now that's all over. They had a late flurry against Sparky, but Herm Edwards' team held on for the 31-28 win, a crushing blow to the chances for the conference. ... Utah is still alive for a playoff spot, as they hammered Arizona on Senior Night, 35-7. They will likely need help to get an invite to the CFP, however. The Utes are 7-0 SU/ATS since their lone loss of the season at USC back on Sept. 20. ... Speaking of the Trojans, they roughed up UCLA by a 52-35 count. The 'over' cashed in this one, the fifth straight 'over' result for the Trojans. They have won a season-high three in a row, going 2-0-1 ATS during the span. ... The game of the day in the conference might have been on the Palouse, as Oregon State-Washington State combined for 107 total points, with the Cougars edging the Beavers 54-53. The Cougs secured bowl eligibility, while the Beavers need to top the Ducks in the Civil War next week to go bowling.

    SOUTHEASTERN (SEC)
    -- Tennessee secured bowl eligibility with a road win at Missouri, 24-20. The Vols opened the season 1-4 SU, but they're now 4-0 SU across the past four, and they have covered six in a row. The 'under' is 5-1 during that six-game span, too. Mizzou can get into the bowl picture with a win at lowly Arkansas next Friday. ... It was 'bye' week for the big boys, as most SEC teams played FCS teams. Boring. ... Georgia-Texas A&M was a big boy battle, though. The Bulldogs held on for a 19-13 win over the Aggies, the first meeting of these teams in the regular season since A&M joined the conference. UGA is 5-0 SU since their stunning loss to South Carolina back on Oct. 12, but they're just 3-3 ATS across the past six. The 'under' is a perfect 6-0 for UGA since then, too. ... LSU roughed up Arkansas by a 56-20 score, but they failed to cover the near six-touchdown number. The Tigers are just 1-3 ATS across the past four, although that lone cover came against 'Bama. The 'over' is 3-0 for LSU in the past three, and 8-3 in their 11 games overall.

    SUN BELT
    -- Georgia State topped South Alabama in a low-scoring game, 28-15. The Panthers moved to 7-4 SU/6-3-2 ATS. For the Jags, they're a dismal 1-10 SU, but they are still a respectable 5-2 ATS in the past seven. The 'under' is 7-2 across the past nine outings for USA heading into the season finale. ... Louisiana-Monroe edged Coastal Carolina in a high-scoring affair in Myrtle Beach. The Warhawks moved to 5-6 SU, and they can attain bowl eligibility with a win over rival Louisiana next week. ULM will enter that game just 3-8 ATS overall, with the 'over' 3-1 in the past four. ... As far as the Ragin' Cajuns are concerned, they blasted Troy 53-3 for a fifth straight win, going 4-1 ATS during the span. Their only blemishes have come against Mississippi State and Appalachian State. They'll likely face the Mountaineers in the Sun Belt title game if they can get by ULM.

    Bad Beats

    -- Under bettors were feeling very good about themselves in the Miami-FIU game at Marlins Park. The total was 50.5, and there were just 26 points on the board until Miami scored a touchdown with 8:07 left, cutting FIU's lead to 23-10. Miami struck again with 3:10 to go, cutting the lead to 23-17. Still, there were just three minutes to go with an 11-point cushion. After a failed onside kick, FIU recovered and proceeded to score on a long TD run, making it 30-17 with 2:17 to go. It still should have been OK. However, Miami drove down the field and scored with :31 to go, sending the total over. Some 'cramping' issues by FIU stopped the clock and worked to help Miami, too.

    -- The Michigan-Indiana total looked to be a slam-dunk 'over' play. The Wolverines posted 18 points in the third quarter to take a 39-14 lead with a total of 53 on the board. Just needed a score of any kind in the final 16:39 to go over. That score never came. It was a tough push for over bettors, and a fortunate one for those holding under tickets.

    -- Under bettors (54.5) in the Oregon-Arizona State couldn't believe their misfortune. We had a total of just 28 points until 8:42 to go, when AZ State booted a field goal to go up 24-7. Still, there were 23 more points to play with. At 7:43, the Ducks quickly scored and closed it to 24-14. About two minutes later, Oregon was in the end zone again, down just 24-21. At 3:54, the biggest blow to under bettors came, as the Sun Devils hit an 81-yard touchdown to make it 31-21. Still, you were covering until Oregon punched one in with 2:04 to go.

    • 4th Quarter Covers - Week 13
      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 13th and second-to-last full weekend of the college football season.

      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.

      Georgia Tech (+2½) 28, NC State 26:
      The Yellow Jackets opened as a slight favorite but Thursday afternoon the line flipped to leave the Wolfpack as a slight road favorite in the underwhelming ACC prime time matchup. Georgia Tech came to play with a 14-0 edge early and also delivered a touchdown on a short field in the final minute before halftime. Another score late in the third quarter seemingly put the game away with a 28-10 edge for the Yellow Jackets but early in the fourth quarter NC State was back within one-score down by eight, making the most of an extra opportunity off a fumble. With about five minutes remaining NC State completed a lengthy drive for a touchdown but the two-point conversion attempt failed and Georgia Tech was able run off the remaining time to hold on.

      Wyoming (-4) 17, Colorado State 7:
      The Friday night home favorite line crashed down to -4 from -7 or -6½ much of the week and in chilly conditions in Laramie it was a 7-7 tie at halftime. Out of the break Colorado State went for it on 4th-and-short on its own side of the 50 and came up short with Wyoming able to take advantage of the short field for a touchdown drive to lead by seven heading into the fourth quarter. After the aggressive call backfired earlier in the game Mike Bobo opted to try a 50-yard field goal on 4th-and-2 early in the fourth quarter down by seven for a puzzling move that also failed to work out. The Rams later failed going for it on 4th-and-6 just across midfield and also came up short for another missed opportunity. Wyoming added a field goal to lead by 10 and the final Colorado State threat ended in an interception as the Cowboys managed to win and cover despite totaling just 17 points and 273 yards.

      Kent State (+3) 41, Ball State 38:
      In a bowl elimination game Ball State led 24-21 at halftime as a slight road favorite in a game where both teams wound up with big yardage totals. Kent State score 10 points in the third quarter but Ball State answered twice in the fourth to keep the game tied at 31-31 and then 38-38 with four minutes to go. The Flashes were able to work the field and the clock, kicking the game winner with 19 seconds to go for a minor upset, with 6-6 still in reach next week.

      Oklahoma State (-7) 20, West Virginia 13:
      With Spencer Sanders injured, Hawai’i transfer Dru Brown stepped in at quarterback for Oklahoma State. The road favorite trailed in Morgantown through three quarters but consecutive scoring drives put the Cowboys up by seven in the fourth, even with the closing number although much of the week the line was down to -6 and even -5½ though it briefly hit as high as -7½ early in the week. Needing a touchdown to tie West Virginia was a late threat, reaching the 17-yard-line in the final minutes but the Mountaineers got stuck in a long downs and distances and could not finish the drive.

      BYU (-42) 56, Massachusetts 24:
      The Cougars had a 49-0 edge at halftime and with little at stake in the second half, Massachusetts was able to get a muffed punt for short field to set up a score to get on the board. BYU still led by 46 heading into the fourth quarter and stopped the next UMass drive at the goal line to keep points off the board. The Minutemen would still add two late touchdowns with the game out of hand to secure the underdog cover with the massive price.

      Minnesota (-16) 38, Northwestern 22:
      Tanner Morgan being cleared to play for the Gophers pushed this line upward but the Gophers turned in a 21-0 edge by early in the second quarter. Northwestern would stay in the game however and is was only a 28-16 score through three quarters. Minnesota would add 10 points in the fourth to lead by 22 but with about two minutes to go Northwestern completed a 77-yard drive and down 16 went for two in a key play for some with the late rise on the spread. The conversion failed as Minnesota cleared the number for all but the latest backers who left with a push.

      UCF (-8) 34, Tulane 31:
      UCF had a 31-17 lead through three quarters and a field goal made the margin 17 with about 10 minutes remaining. Tulane didn’t mail it in however and added a touchdown with seven minutes to go. Rather than adding a field goal UCF went for it on 4th down late in the game and didn’t get there, leaving time for the Wave. After an earlier 4th down conversion Tulane faced 4th and goal from the 7 with 26 seconds left down by 10 and converted for the spread-stealing score.

      Michigan State (-21½) 27, Rutgers 0:
      Michigan State looked to snap its losing streak and got in front of Rutgers 17-0 by halftime. The Spartans only added a field goal in the third quarter but got the ball right back with an interception. Michigan State added a touchdown four plays later and forced two late Rutgers punts to preserve the shutout and road favorite cover.

      Air Force (-24½) 44, New Mexico 22:
      Air Force had only a 14-10 lead at halftime as the heavy favorite cover looked unlikely. The lead was just 21-16 after exchanging touchdowns but a blocked PAT gave Air Force two points after New Mexico’s touchdown. A few minutes later the Falcons hit on a 59-yard pass play to lead by 14. Air Force added two more scores both in the air in the fourth quarter to lead 44-16 but New Mexico would eventually answer with fewer than two minutes remaining. Down 22, the Lobos went for two and failed to leave the margin there at 22 on a spread that climbed from 21½ to 24½ during the week.

      Georgia (-12) 19, Texas A&M 13:
      Georgia never really got going on offense but managed to lead by 13 into the second half even with only one of four scoring drives going further than 23 yards. Field goals were exchanged as early in the fourth Georgia still led by 13 but the Aggies converted a pair of 3rd-and-longs on the way to a touchdown with 11 minutes remaining. Texas A&M reached the Georgia 43 on a late drive down six but opted to punt on 4th-and-11 with still more than four minutes remaining and three timeouts left but the Bulldogs never gave the ball back.

      USC (-12½) 52, UCLA 35:
      USC scored four straight touchdowns in the middle of this game to lead by 24 but UCLA trimmed the margin to 10 by the start of the fourth quarter. Seconds into the final frame USC connected for a 49-yard touchdown to go back up by 17 but UCLA was able to answer. Defensive stops weren’t common in this rivalry game and USC was back in the end zone a few minutes later on the way to amassing 643 yards in the game. Down 17 UCLA went for it on 4th-and-7 in field goal range came up short late in the game leaving the deficit at 17 despite producing 540 yards in the game.

      California (-1½) 24, Stanford 20:
      The Game was knotted at 17-17 halfway through the fourth quarter before Stanford connected for a 44-yard field goal with just 2:23 remaining. Chase Garbers led the Bears 75 yards in just six plays, finishing the drive with a 16-yard run to go in front and the Bears held on defense for the win, eliminating Stanford from bowl contention.

      Navy (-3) 35, SMU 28:
      SMU led 21-10 at the half but Navy was within one by the start of the fourth quarter. Just seconds into the fourth the Midshipmen delivered the go-ahead touchdown and got the two-point conversion to lead by seven. SMU didn’t take long to answer hitting a 61-yard touchdown pass but Navy had a 70-yard touchdown run a few minutes later. SMU reached the Navy 12-yard-line in the final minutes before being stopped on 4th-and-4.

      UAB (-6½) 20, Louisiana Tech 14:
      The Blazers led 20-7 through three quarters but Louisiana Tech spoiled the cover with a 14-play touchdown drive in the fourth quarter following a UAB interception in the end zone. There was little production either way in the final eight minutes as the final margin landed on six with a push a common result as well and results both ways possible depending on the timing.

      New Mexico State (-7) 44, UTEP 35:
      The Aggies led 21-16 through three quarters before scoring exploded in the fourth. UTEP would briefly take the lead 22-21 but then New Mexico State added the next 16 points including a defensive score to lead by 15. UTEP closed to within eight but The Aggies answered with a 53-yard touchdown run. As time expired UTEP would find the end zone but it wasn’t quite enough with a nine-point final.

      Wake Forest (-6) 39, Duke 27:
      Wake Forest had a convincing yardage edge and a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter but Duke was able to stay within striking distance with a touchdown early in the fourth and then held the Demon Deacons to a short field goal. Duke then delivered 98-yard kickoff return touchdown to suddenly take the lead. Wake Forest would answer in only three plays but couldn’t get the conversion and led by just five on a favorite spread that fell from -7½ to just -6 by kickoff. Duke wasn’t able to pick up a first down but the defense had a chance to get the ball back as Wake Forest went for it on 4th down just outside of field goal range. An 11-yard run followed and the Demon Deacons were into the end zone two plays later for the 12-point final margin.

      Cincinnati (-8½) 15, Temple 13:
      The Bearcats led 13-0 through three quarters in this game despite several scoring chances for Temple in the first three quarters and a substantial production edge for the underdog Owls. The favorite spread for Cincinnati crashed from -10½ to -8½ on Saturday and the favorite cover still seemed possible after Temple finally got on the board as the PAT was blocked and returned the other way to keep Cincinnati ahead by nine. Temple forced a 3-and-out on defense and converted two third downs on the way to another touchdown to trail by two with seven minutes to go. Cincinnati missed a field goal on the next drive to give the Owls a great shot at the upset. A play after converting a 4th down, Temple quarterback Anthony Russo was intercepted taking a shot into Cincinnati territory as the Bearcats survived to stay perfect in AAC play.

      Arkansas State (-1) 38, Georgia Southern 33:
      Big plays were the name of the game for Arkansas State with four early touchdowns on passes for 27 or more yards plus a 94-yard kickoff return touchdown, taking a 35-10 lead. Georgia Southern produced a massive rushing edge in this game however and while more methodical in its pace, found a way back in the game. A touchdown and a two-point conversion in the third quarter brought the Eagles within 11 and the defense caught a break with a missed Red Wolves field goal. With about five minutes left in the game Georgia Southern scored to climb within five and Arkansas State again missed a kick trying to extend the lead to eight. In the final two minutes Georgia Southern reached the Arkansas State 33-yard-line before taking a sack and a 4th-and-11 scramble netted only 10 yards as the Red Wolves escaped.

      LSU (-41) 56, Arkansas 20:
      Two Arkansas field goals early in the game seemed possibly enough for the underdog cover with a massive spread in this contest. LSU managed two touchdowns late in the first half however and took over in the third quarter, eventually leading by 50 early in the fourth quarter. Arkansas would score twice in the fourth however including a short field score following a successful on-side kick to take the spread win.

              College football Week 14 opening odds and early action: Alabama lands quick cash vs. Auburn
              Patrick Everson

              Backup quarterback Mac Jones now has the reins for Alabama, with Tua Tagovailoa out the rest of the season. The Crimson Tide opened -3.5 at Auburn and were quickly bet up to -4 in the Iron Bowl.

              College football Week 14 features rivalry clashes that could significantly impact the College Football Playoff picture. We check in on the opening odds and early action for four games, with insights from Matt Chaprales, head of content for PointsBet USA in New Jersey.
              No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide at No. 16 Auburn Tigers (+3.5)

              Alabama won’t have Tua Tagovailoa the rest of the season, after a nasty hip injury suffered against Mississippi State, but Nick Saban’s troops are still certainly in the CFP discussion. In Week 13, Mac Jones and the Crimson Tide (10-1 SU, 6-5 ATS) practically had a bye, wiping out Western Carolina 66-3 as eye-popping 58.5-point home favorites.

              Auburn’s CFP hopes fell by the wayside with three losses in a very difficult five-week stretch of Southeastern Conference play. Like ‘Bama, the Tigers (8-3 SU and ATS) also faced an FCS foe in Week 13, hammering Samford 52-0 as 45.5-point home faves.

              “This line, which opened Alabama -3.5, would’ve likely been around 8 with a healthy Tua,” Chaprales said. “So a pretty sizable adjustment with Jones at the helm. The first move was to 4, though, so the market still seems to like ‘Bama in a road ‘dog spot.”

              No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes at No. 11 Michigan Wolverines (+9)

              Ohio State was a spread-covering machine in Games 2-9, but hasn’t cashed the past two weeks, though it’s still right on track for a CFP bid. The Buckeyes (11-0 SU, 8-3 ATS) went off as 18-point home favorites against Penn State in Week 13, but let a 21-0 third-quarter lead tighten to 21-17 before going on to a 28-17 victory.

              Michigan has no shot at the CFP, but would love to play spoiler against its archrival. The Wolverines (9-2 SU, 7-4 ATS) have won four in a row SU and five in a row ATS, downing Indiana 39-14 as 10-point road favorites in Week 13.

              “The market appears to have finally caught up to Ohio State the past few weeks, while Michigan has been an ATM since around mid-October,” Chaprales said. “The first few bets have actually been on the Wolverines, pushing an opener of 9 down to 8, but it likely won’t be long before we see some Ohio State money start to come in.”

              Indeed, the Buckeyes ticked up to -8.5 by Monday afternoon.

              No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners at No. 21 Oklahoma State Cowboys (+12)

              Oklahoma could still find its way into the CFP, but must keep winning and might need some help along the way. The Sooners (10-1 SU, 4-7 ATS) were tested in each of their last four games, beginning with a loss at Kansas State. Last weekend, Oklahoma blew a 21-0 second-quarter lead against Texas Christian, but escaped with a 28-24 home win laying 19 points.

              Oklahoma State would love nothing more than to win the annual Bedlam game and foil the Sooners’ CFP hopes. The Cowboys (8-3 SU, 8-2-1 ATS) are the No. 2 spread-covering team in the nation, though they’re coming off a push as 7-point favorites in a 20-13 win at West Virginia.

              “Another game, another double-digit number for the Sooners, who have seemingly flirted with disaster on a weekly basis in similar spots,” Chaprales said. “That said, the public has continued to ride them, so it will be interesting to see if last week’s result finally turns the tables.”

              Early action pushed the Sooners up to -12.5.

              No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers at No. 9 Minnesota Golden Gophers (+2)

              Minnesota is not out of the CFP conversation yet, but surely needs to win this week as a home ‘dog, then beat Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. And even that might not be enough. The Golden Gophers (10-1 SU, 7-3-1 ATS) rebounded from a loss at Iowa by topping Northwestern 38-22 giving 15.5 points on the road.

              Wisconsin can not only upend a rival and win Paul Bunyan’s Axe this week, but would also claim the Big Ten West and a spot in the conference title game. The Badgers (9-2 SU, 6-5 ATS) beat Purdue 45-24 in Week 13, falling short of the cash as 24.5-point home favorites.

              “Wisconsin has been more of a bet-on team than Minnesota, and the first few bets have laid the short number,” Chaprales said of bettors playing Wisconsin -2. “So I wouldn’t be surprised if the line inches closer to 3.”

              In fact, the number ticked up to Badgers -2.5 by Monday afternoon.

                  • Ohio reaches bowl eligibility with a 52-3 win against Akron
                    November 26, 2019


                    AKRON, Ohio (AP) Nathan Rourke threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns and Ohio routed Akron 52-3 on Tuesday night.

                    The Bobcats (6-6, 5-3 Mid-American) clinched bowl eligibility for the 11th year in a row and for the 13th time in 15 years under head coach Frank Solich. Ohio also recorded a winning record in the conference for a fifth straight year.

                    Rourke threw two touchdown passes in the first quarter, two more in the second and accounted for a fifth with a 1-yard run in the fourth. He threw a 53-yarder to DL Knock, 39 and 11 yards to Shane Hooks and 9 yards to Ryan Luehrman. Ja'Vahri Portis ran it in from 3-yards out with 6:41 remaining to end the scoring.

                    Ohio outgained Akron (0-12, 0-8) in total yardage, 603-74, amassed 25 first downs to seven for the Zips and converted 10 of 15 third-down opportunities.

                    Peter Hayes-Patrick gained 42 yards on 14 carries for Akron.

                    The Zips ended the season with a 17-game losing streak dating to last season. Their last win was in a 17-10 contest against Central Michigan on Oct. 27, 2018.

                    Richieâ??s TD sparks N. Illinois to 17-14 win over W. Michigan
                    November 26, 2019


                    DEKALB, Ill. (AP) Tyrice Richie took a shovel pass in the Northern Illinois backfield, added an acrobatic flip over a would-be tackler near midfield and turned it all into a 71-yard touchdown to spark the Huskies to a 17-14 win over Western Michigan in the season finale Tuesday night.

                    Michael Love tossed a 7-yard scoring pass to Mitchell Brinkman midway through the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.

                    Down 10-0 at intermission, LeVante Bellamy brought Western Michigan back with second-half touchdown runs of 6- and 16-yards.

                    The victory moves the Huskies to 4-4 in the Mid-America Conference in Thomas Hammock's first season as head coach at his alma mater. Overall NIU finished 5-7, with a string of four straight losses early in the season to Utah, Nebraska, Vanderbilt and Ball State.

                    NIU finished with 250 yards of total offense in the game. Richie's 71-yard catch made up most of the team's 93-yard passing total.

                    Bellamy finished with 21 carries for 128 yards to lead Western Michigan (7-5, 5-3).

                      • Ole Miss at Mississippi State
                        November 26, 2019
                        By Joe Nelson


                        Mississippi State and Mississippi will be playing on Thanksgiving night for the third straight season as one of nation’s longest uninterrupted rivalries will be featured in the final Thursday night regular season game of the season.

                        The Egg Bowl features great intensity and has featured numerous memorable games in recent years. Here is a look at Thursday Night Football between Mississippi and Mississippi State.

                        Mississippi Rebels at Mississippi State Bulldogs
                        Venue: Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi
                        Time/TV: Thursday, November 28, 7:30 PM ET ESPN
                        Line: Mississippi State -2½, Over/Under 58
                        Last Meeting: 2018, Mississippi State (-11½) 35, at Mississippi 3


                        After a post-game brawl in 1926, Ole Miss and Mississippi A&M (now Mississippi State) created a Golden Egg trophy for the victor although the rivalry game wasn’t referred to colloquially as the ‘Egg Bowl’ until 1979. While both programs have had some ups and downs, the 2014 meeting was one of the high points of the rivalry with two highly ranked teams with #19 Ole Miss upsetting then #4 Mississippi State, 31-17. This year’s game will not go down as one of the meaningful or impactful games in the series but the intensity on the field will remain strong.

                        After a messy off-season in 2017, Matt Luke took over as the interim head coach for Ole Miss with the Rebels finishing 6-6 after winning this season finale vs. a ranked Mississippi State squad for the third win in the past four years of this rivalry. Luke was retained to lead the program moving forward and is now 9-14 the past two years with this year’s campaign falling short of a bowl bid at 4-7.

                        The Rebels have covered in six of the past seven games however and this has been an intriguing offense that has scored at least 27 points in five of seven SEC games including scoring 31 on Alabama and 37 on LSU. Despite being only 2-5 in SEC play, Ole Miss is only -34 in scoring in conference play and is +2 in scoring overall despite the 4-7 overall record. Mississippi is 0-4 S/U on the road, but has gone 3-1 ATS.

                        The offense has been transformed with John Rhys Plumlee moving into a more prominent role at quarterback. Plumlee doesn’t have a ton to offer in the passing game and the offense still goes with the original starter Matt Corral in passing series situations. Plumlee has electric speed however and the 6’0” freshman has racked up 989 rushing yards on 7.3 yards per carry this season including many long touchdown runs. He has proven to be a tough matchup for several SEC defenses stocked with NFL talent, rushing for 109 yards vs. Alabama and 212 yards vs. LSU.

                        On the season, Mississippi has a good chance to finish with more than 3,000 rushing yards. Freshman Jerrion Ealy has starred in the backfield in recent weeks as well with 7.2 yards per carry and the Rebels could wind up with four different players topping 500 rushing yards this season. Elijah Moore has been the only meaningful contributor in the passing game with 64 catches for 815 yards. As it stands, Mississippi is fourth in the nation in yards per game rushing with 266 yards per game, fifth nationally averaging 5.8 yards per rush as it isn’t surprising that the Rebels have been a good spread team even with poor defensive numbers.

                        There were big changes for Mississippi State ahead of last season as Dan Mullen departed after nine solid seasons in Starkville, taking over at Florida. Joe Moorhead was hired to lead the program following a four-year stint as Fordham’s head coach from 2012 to 2015 while serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Penn State under James Franklin in 2016 and 2017. Moorhead inherited a great senior quarterback in Nick Fitzgerald to lead his offense last season in an 8-5 campaign, but this season has been more challenging.

                        At 5-6, Mississippi State needs to win this game to make a 10th straight bowl game. Penn State transfer Tommy Stevens did not provide a seamless transition with mediocre numbers this season. Stevens has been back in the lead role in recent weeks after giving way to freshman Garrett Shrader for several games in the middle of the season. Surprisingly, the Bulldogs have had a higher passing percentage and more yards per pass attempt this season than last season, but the touchdown count has been lower while the sack and interception counts have been higher. The rushing numbers are similar to last season for the team, mostly leaning on Kylin Hill who has 10 touchdowns and more than 1,200 yards this season as a junior.

                        The lesser results for Mississippi State can be pinned on a big decline defensively. The Bulldogs were second in the SEC last season allowing only 115 points in eight games. This season, Mississippi State has allowed 236 points to already have doubled last season’s conference total. Mississippi State ranks 112th nationally allowing 6.4 yards per play and is 94th nationally allowing 4.8 yards per rush.

                        None of the losses have been notably bad for Mississippi State with defeats on the road vs. Auburn, Tennessee, and Texas A&M, along with three home losses to Kansas State early in the season as well as lopsided losses at home vs. LSU and Alabama. Last week while Ole Miss was off, Mississippi State was able to pad its numbers with a 45-7 win over FBC Abilene Christian. The Bulldogs put up 577 total yards, but did inflate the score with two touchdowns in the final six minutes.

                        Last Season:
                        Mississippi needed to win the finale last year to reach 6-6, but hosting the Egg Bowl things went poorly with a 35-3 loss to close the season at 5-7. Mississippi State had a 420-189 yardage and a 3-0 turnover edge and it was 21-3 at halftime. The big disparity that seems unlikely to repeat this season was an edge of 309-37 in rushing yards with the Rebels held to only 1.3 yards per rush.

                        Ole Miss Trends:
                        Ole Miss owns a 21-18 S/U and 22-16-1 ATS edge in this series since 1980 including winning and covering in four of the past seven meetings. Mississippi has S/U wins in the past two trips to Starkville in 2015 and 2017, winning as a 14-point underdog in the last road meeting two years ago. Since 2007, Mississippi is on a 21-14-1 ATS run in the road underdog role. Mississippi hasn’t won S/U as a road underdog since the Thanksgiving meeting in Starkville two years ago with seven S/U losses the past two seasons, though with three ATS wins in a row heading into this game.

                        Mississippi State Trends:
                        Since 2011, Mississippi State is on a 27-15 ATS run as a home favorite including an 8-2 S/U and ATS mark the past two years under Moorhead. This will be just the second time under Moorhead with a home favorite price of 3 or less, a role the Bulldogs are on a 5-1 ATS run in since 2010.

                        • Friday's MAC Best Bets
                          November 26, 2019
                          By Matt Blunt

                          Cold weather and poor offensive play got the better of both teams in last week's Colorado State/Wyoming contest, killing any chance the 'over' had to get there by halftime. It was the lone scenario I outlined that would lead to a Wyoming and 'under' result, as even though it ended as a 10-point victory for the Cowboys, it was a close game that Wyoming never trailed in throughout, and that was the best case scenario for an 'under' to come in.

                          This week we get a slew of college football games all throughout the day on Friday, as the annual post-Thanksgiving card is always heavy with collegiate football action. This year is no different, and who doesn't like to replenish some of those Black Friday funds the early morning shopping seemingly everyone wants to have some part in.

                          Hopefully this week's plays will help you recoup some of that dough spent on Black Friday deals, as I've got a favorite, underdog, and total play to break down. And while there are some games on Friday that feature more prominent programs, if you are a fan of MACtion, then this piece is for you.

                          Miami-Ohio at Ball State (CBSSN, 12:00 p.m. ET)

                          Favorite Best Bet: Ball State (-3)

                          On the surface, seeing a 4-7 SU Ball State team flat out laying the consensus home field advantage number (-3) against a 7-4 SU Miami (OH) team may seem a bit puzzling to some. After all, Miami (OH) is the MAC East champion this year and have rolled through conference play with a 6-1 SU record. But it's precisely that fact that the Redhawks are division champions that makes Ball State a great play.

                          Miami (OH) has absolutely nothing to play for in this game as they've got bigger fish to fry next week (MAC Title game) and it's a spot where the Redhawks could simply be out there going through the motions, not trying to get hurt. They've blown out Ball State the past two years – as expected with SU and ATS wins laying -17 and -15.5 – won this rivalry game the past three years, and can't be excited for this game at all considering what they've got on deck.

                          Conversely, Ball State may not be a great team, but this is what they've got to consider as their “Bowl game” in an otherwise down year. The season hasn't finished out how they would have liked with four straight losses coming into this game – the last three of which came by 4 points or less – and this final game presents them with one final opportunity to end the year on a high note. Beating a rival is always nice, but beating a rival that was a division champion tends to feel that extra bit sweeter for a team like the Cardinals that knows their season is over after this one.

                          This line tells you all you need to know about the motivation levels and overall prospects for both teams involved, as Ball State should win this game by at least a TD.

                          Toledo at Central Michigan (ESPNU, 12:00 p.m. ET)

                          Underdog Best Bet: Toledo (+9.5)


                          The focus on the MAC continues with this play, as this Toledo/Central Michigan game has some concerning motivational aspects involved with it as well.

                          It all starts with whether or not Central Michigan really wants to be here, as pending Tuesday's result in the Western Michigan/Northern Illinois game, they could have a lot, or nothing at all to play for. A SU loss by Western Michigan in that game means that the MAC West title is still in play for Central Michigan, and all they would need is an outright win. If that scenario comes to fruition, it means that the pressure to win becomes that much greater for the Chippewas, and pressure can do some funny things when you are essentially a double digit favorite.

                          Yet, this play is on the basis of making an educated guess that Western Michigan – who's laying nearly double digits themselves on Tuesday night – will come away with the win over Northern Illinois and wrap up the MAC West crown. That means that Central Michigan has absolutely nothing to play for in this game, and chances are we see this number come crashing down. I'm looking to stay ahead of the market in that respect and looking to take the best of it while I can.

                          Granted, a Western Michigan loss on Tuesday would likely influence this line the other way and it won't be the best of the number at all, but sometimes in this business you've got to fire with incomplete information at your disposal to get the best of it, and as I said earlier, I expect Western Michigan to take care of their business, meaning that I do believe this game means nothing for Central Michigan. And while it can be argued that it means little to Toledo – who is already Bowl eligible with six wins – this Rockets team is in dire need of a confidence boost going into all those December practices.

                          Conference play has not been kind to Toledo this year, as they've got a losing record in conference play (3-4 SU), and nothing has come easy. They had one of the losses of the year in college football when they lost 20-7 to Bowling Green as -26.5 chalk, a game that they haven't been able to live down. That defeat sparked a 2-4 SU run coming into this game, and both wins were by three points or less. Understandably, all of this could be part of a case for betting against Toledo here, especially when their previous three road conference games have all resulted in SU losses by at least 13 points.

                          However, given the even worse spot for Central Michigan (in all likelihood), taking the points is something I prefer to do here, especially when you see the majority of action already on the Chippewas – betting percentage numbers currently at VegasInsider.com have Central Michigan taking a healthy 80%+ of action right now – and the number hasn't moved.

                          Toledo would love to feel better about their overall game heading into Bowl season, and hanging tough against a decent team is a great way to do that. Pending Tuesday's result with Western Michigan, this line for Toledo/Central Michigan will likely see some movement, and I'm betting now that it will move the Rockets way.

                          Kent State at Eastern Michigan (ESPN+, 12:00 p.m.)

                          Total Best Bet: Kent State/Eastern Michigan Over 65

                          Rounding off this card with one final MACtion play, and it's another one that currently shows a strong majority of the action going the other way with the number yet to move.

                          Betting percentages currently show a healthy 75%+ on the low side of this total, and I'm not entirely sure why. Weather forecasts for Friday appear to be fine, and while 65 is the highest total Eastern Michigan has seen for one of their games this year, it's not like it's insurmountable.

                          Eastern Michigan has put up 40+ points in each of their past two games, and 34 or more in four of their last five. They are on a 4-0-1 O/U streak during that span, and while defensively they've tightened things up of late in allowing 14 and 17 points respectively – possibly a reason behind 'under' support – with six wins already themselves, a sense of urgency to get key stops may not necessarily be there for them this week. Eastern Michigan's defense has brought it the past two weeks, and now that those games, both on the road, resulted in wins to get them Bowl eligible, they could be out there looking to play in a track meet style game.

                          If that's the case, Kent State won't mind, as they've gone 3-0 O/U in their last three games overall, and three of their last five contests have finished with 68 or more points. In fact, if you eliminate their road game against arguably the worst team in all of college football – Akron – the Golden Flashes have allowed an average of 42.6 points per game. In conference road games (excluding Akron again) that number dips to 40 points allowed per contest, and with the Eagles hitting that mark the past two weeks, getting 35-40 points from Eastern Michigan in their 'loosey goosey' role of potentially wanting to pad stats, I don't believe that's a huge ask.

                          At the same time, Kent State needs a SU victory here to get Bowl eligible themselves, and they know that the strength of their team is on offense. They've put up 30 or more in their last three games and four of five, and have gone 4-0 ATS in those four contests.

                          That's not to say they will cover the number here, but they have tended ot have their most success this season in MAC play when they are putting up 30 or more. Considering Eastern Michigan has allowed 33 points/game in conference home games this season, the Eagles aren't opposed to playing that style of game on their turf either.

                          With Kent State on a 4-1 O/U run on the road against a winning home team, 6-1 O/U when coming off a SU win, and Eastern Michigan on a 4-1 O/U run off a win of 20+, going against the early majority of support on this total appears to be the way to go.

                          • Upset Alerts - Week 14
                            November 26, 2019
                            By Matt Blunt


                            Flipping the script from two weeks ago when only the small underdog was able to cash, last week's plays finished with a 2-1 ATS record with the small underdog being the only one to come up short.

                            SMU was the lone team not to get the ATS win for us last week, as they blew a 21-10 halftime lead to get outscored 25-7 in the final 30 minutes. It was a 70-yard run from Navy QB Malcolm Perry midway through the 4th that broke a tie and proved to be the difference, as SMU just couldn't sustain drives (38% on 13 3rd down tries) and it proved to be the difference.

                            On the positive side of things, I finally got an ATS win this year going against Ohio State, as fumbling issues from the Buckeyes allowed Penn State to hang around for awhile and ultimately get the cover. Still not convinced that Penn State was the right side in that game given that they were gifted those turnovers that directly resulted in them putting up points or Ohio State not getting points, but a win is a win and I'll take it.

                            And finally, Arkansas may only be 3-8 ATS this year and have just two ATS wins since late September, bot both of those ATS victories came when they found their way into this piece as underdogs of 20+. The Razorbacks were able to sneak through the back door in the 4th quarter last week after things got away from them in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, but like Penn State's result, a win is a win and I'll take it.

                            Hopefully we can finish the regular season on a positive note as well with this week's plays. This can be a tricky week to handicap given the motivational issues that can be involved for numerous teams across the country, but if you can find the spots where they are likely to work in the underdog's favor, you may be able to catch an easy winner or two. That's what I'm looking for with this week's plays:
                            Upset Alert #1: Underdogs in the +1 to +9 range

                            YTD: 3-10 SU; 8-4-1 ATS

                            Michigan (+9.5) vs Ohio State


                            Stubbornness is not a word that's ever been foreign to my ears in my lifetime, and there probably is a bit of that going on here in once again fading Ohio State. I've definitely not made any friends this year that are Ohio State fans or alum, and given the overall results I've had this year going against the Buckeyes, those same Buckeyes backers have done quite nicely for themselves backing their team. But hopefully the saying “he who laughs last, laughs the longest” works in my favor here, as once again I believe this is too many points for Ohio State to be giving up.

                            To start, way back in the summer time when I penned this piece previewing the Big 10, I always had this game between the Buckeyes and Wolverines in mind. Obviously Michigan isn't going to win the conference in 2019, but HC Jim Harbaugh knows that his inability to beat Ohio State during his tenure at Michigan is going to be the hill he likely dies on in terms of keeping his job should he lose yet again. I had faith back in July that he'd be able to figure it out this year and lead his team to a conference title, and while that's no longer possible, it's put up or shut up time for him against the Buckeyes. It's hard to figure he won't get canned after the year with another loss to Ohio State, but it's a results based business and Harbaugh knows what he signed up for.

                            And while the narrative around Harbaugh centers on his inability to win this game at Michigan, the bigger picture of his tenure gets conveniently ignored. He comes into this week's game with a 30-4 SU record all time at home with Michigan (19-15 ATS), which includes a 1-1 ATS record as a home underdog – both against Ohio State. He had to come into the year knowing that this one game would be the determining factor of his future with the Michigan program, regardless of where he stood in relation to the conference title/CFB playoff picture at the time.

                            Obviously the latter doesn't apply now, and you could argue that it's been over a month – since the loss to Penn State – that Harbaugh and his staff have had their eye on peaking this week. The competition since the Penn State loss hasn't been formidable, but the Wolverines haven't allowed more then 14 points against in any of their four wins since then, and have averaged 41.5 points per game themselves. That's what I would suggest is “peaking at the right time”, and if Harbaugh does figure this is his last stand against the Buckeyes without producing different results, I think you've got to expect him to pull out all the stops he deems necessary to win and go out with a bang.

                            At the same time, Ohio State may have shot themselves in the foot a few times with those turnovers vs Penn State, making the final much closer then it should have been, but they did seem to tighten up in their first close game of the year (at least close in the 2nd half), and that's got to be a bit concerning for Ohio State backers this week. Yes, the counter argument to that is we've seen this story play out before and Ohio State always rolls Michigan, but things like that are always the same until they aren't.

                            QB Justin Fields is still nursing a hand injury that became problematic vs Penn State with those fumbles, and should the Buckeyes experience some early adversity for the first time this year, or find themselves in a tight game in the 2nd half for the first time on the road this year, I'm not so sure they'll rebound as easily as they did a week ago. The Big House is as hostile an environment as it gets for those wearing Buckeyes jerseys, and with this being the first time all season that Ohio State isn't at least a two-TD favorite to start, I think that's quite telling as well.

                            I don't believe they'll be able to play bully ball with their running game against Michigan like they did a week ago vs Penn State to establish an early lead. And with the tightness they showed as a group when things got close with the Nittany Lions, for this Ohio State team that's yet to trail at any point this year against a Big 10 foe, should they find themselves down early, Buckeyes backers/fans could end up with a scenario that Michigan fans/backers in this rivalry know all too well: Crap tends to roll downhill.

                            You'd better believe that if Michigan is on their game and senses fragility on the other side of the ball, they won't hesitate to let out years of frustration from this rivalry – Michigan has lost seven straight to Ohio State – and look to repay the 62-39 loss they suffered a year ago to halt the Wolverines redemption tour. Harbaugh has had too much success as a coach (at both levels) not to get past Ohio State once, and if this were to be the year, you know he'd have all those teams just outside the Top 4 in the rankings – cough, cough, Alabama – rooting hard for him to get it done.

                            Back in mid-July when that conference preview game out, the “Games of the Year” lines had Michigan laying about a FG for this contest. Obviously that would be a very egregious spread now with how things have played out, but I do expect this to be a game that's decided by a TD or less, with an outright win likely keeping Harbaugh employed in Ann Arbor and throwing a huge wrench into the CFP Playoff picture.

                            Upset Alert #2: Underdogs in the +10 to +19 range
                            YTD: 1-12 SU; 4-9 ATS

                            Kansas (+14) vs Baylor


                            Plenty of bettors in the market believed last week would be the ultimate letdown spot for Baylor after choking away the game vs Oklahoma the week before. And while those same bettors were always quick to remind everyone about Texas HC Tom Herman's great record as an underdog, what was conveniently overlooked was the fact that Texas is a team that had absolutely nothing to play for themselves after a disappointing year came well short of their goals. The Longhorns were in just as big of a letdown spot (if not more) then what Baylor was in, and the Bears still needed to win out to ensure a rematch with Oklahoma. Baylor got the job done and maybe with a 3-4 ATS record in Tom Herman's last seven tries as an underdog, that talk will be a bit more muted next time it comes around.

                            Now, we've got Baylor going out on the road to face a non-threatening Kansas team with that Oklahoma rematch on deck, and the majority of the market laying the chalk after the Bears proved them wrong a week ago. But wouldn't you think if there was ever going to be a “mental reset” or letdown type game for Baylor that this would be it?

                            After all, Texas is still Texas, a prestigious program in this sport, whereas any prestige Kansas gets for its sports comes on the basketball court. Kansas has long been a Big 12 doormat, and while Year 1 under Les Miles is going to finish with a losing record (3-8 SU pending), the building blocks have already been laid in the foundation of this football program for a potential turnaround.

                            Kansas has had some highs this year in beating BC as nearly a 20-point underdog, and putting huge scares in the likes of Texas and Iowa State. They still lack consistency in terms of having those types of efforts each week, but a 4-2 ATS run in their last six games overall – one of those losses came by the hook – this is just the type of spot where they could go out with a bang in 2019 and at worst put a scare in Baylor.

                            Remember, a loss essentially does nothing to Baylor's standing other then potentially losing confidence going into the Oklahoma rematch and having them drop in the rankings. There is no CFB Playoff potential for the Bears, and you've got to believe nearly all their energy is already being put towards righting the wrong from that loss to the Sooners. That's not a team you want to be laying two-TD's with on the road, especially when Kansas has nothing to lose and a coach who didn't get the nickname “Mad Hatter” for nothing.

                            I fully expect Les Miles to pull a trick or two out of his sleeve to give this Baylor team that's got no time for Kansas right now, all that they can handle.

                            Upset Alert #3: Underdogs in the +20 and above range
                            YTD: 3-10 ATS

                            Georgia Tech (+28) vs Georgia


                            Speaking of teams with plenty of focus directed towards next week and their conference championship game, the Georgia Bulldogs are in a similar position this week as they prepare for their showdown with #1 LSU in the SEC title game. Sitting in the #4 spot, Georgia winning the SEC title would assure them of a playoff ticket, which means, a rebuilding rival that has drastically overhauled their system this year like Georgia Tech isn't much of a concern.

                            But what is concerning is that Georgia's offense may be perfect on the year in scoring points when in the red zone, but they aren't capitalizing on those opportunities with TD's. The Bulldogs rank 87th in the country in TD's scored per game (2.9), as they haven't put up 30 points in six straight games. Obviously the quality of foe in some of those contests has a bit to do with that – something that Georgia Tech doesn't compare too – but a potentially distracted team (LSU on deck) that already has trouble putting up TD's and hasn't scored 30 points or more since the first week of October, is not one I want to be laying nearly 30 points with.

                            At the same time, I touched on the idea a few weeks ago that Georgia Tech is getting more and more comfortable in their new skin in the post triple-option era for the team. They still battle consistency issues, like say a Kansas team mentioned earlier, but when they put it all together they can hang with most and have been making life much more difficult then their opponents really expect. Outside of a no show effort vs Virginia in a 45-0 defeat, Georgia Tech's last handful of games have resulted in winning margins of no more then 10 points for the eventual winner. The Yellow Jackets have been on the right side of those results twice (beating Miami and NC State), and while they won't be here, it doesn't mean that they can't hang around long enough to get this cover.

                            Of course, now that I'm saying all this, this is the game where Georgia's offense gets right heading into the LSU showdown and puts up TD's on every drive. That could end up happening, but I'll have to see it to believe it, as it's been six weeks of touchdown scoring struggles for the Bulldogs, not just a game or two against a quality foe.

                            We also can't forget about the notion that Georgia has really only known this rival as a triple-option team, and while they do have 11 games of film from this year to study on the new look Yellow Jackets, there still has to be a bit of 'fear of the unknown' in knowing what to expect.

                            “Fear” is probably the wrong word there as Georgia should win this game comfortably, but for a Bulldogs team that's on a 1-5 ATS run against losing teams, and the huge game they've got on deck, this smells like a 17 to 24 point win for Georgia.

                              No. 17 Iowa at Nebraska (Big Ten, 2:30 p.m. ET)
                              While the Iowa offense remains quite pedestrian, the defense has been playing top notch for much of the season but especially as of late. Their 19-10 win over Illinois last week marked the Illini’s lowest scoring output of the season. It was the 2nd consecutive week that the Hawkeye defense held their opponent to a season low in scoring after limiting Minnesota to just 19 points 2 weeks ago. Even more impressive, they’ve held 8 of their 11 opponents this year to their season low in points. Now if they only had a more potent offense this team would be outstanding. They moved the ball OK on Saturday with 387 total yards they just struggle to finish with TD’s settling for FG’s way too often. The Iowa offense actually got inside the Illinois 40-yard line on 9 of their 13 offensive possessions and scored a grand total of ONE touchdown. They settled for 4 FG’s and actually missed 2 FG’s on top of that. For the season, in conference play, the Hawkeyes have made 20 FG’s while scoring only 11 TD’s. They are the ONLY team in the Big 10 that has more made FG’s than TD’s. They may have to step up their offensive game on Saturday facing a surging Nebraska team in their season finale.

                              The Huskers offense has come alive. It took nearly the entire season but they are now playing like many felt they would entering this year. Nebraska ended the 2018 season scoring an average of 36 PPG over their final 7 games and that included a 9 point performance vs Michigan State in a windy snowstorm. This year they were held to 10 points or less in 3 of their first 4 conference games but they look like they are now rounding into form. Last week they put up a season high 54 points on 531 yards. A week earlier they only scored 21 points vs a very good Wisconsin defense, however the Huskers had 493 yards which was the most allowed by the Badger defense this season. The defense did their part allowing just 3.9 YPP and registering 6 sacks which equaled their total from the previous 5 games combined. It was Nebraska’s first win since October 5th snapping a string of 4 consecutive losses. It was also just the 2nd time the Huskers have covered the spread this season. Now sitting at 5-6, a win at home over Iowa next Friday would put the Huskers into a bowl game for the first time since 2016. Windy conditions with potential rain & sleet for this game.

                              Inside the Numbers: The Hawkeyes were favored by 7.5 at home last year and squeaked out a 31-28 win kicking a FG as time expired. Iowa has won 5 of the last 6 in this series and covered 6 of the last 9. Iowa is 2-0 SU and ATS as a road favorite in this series. Nebraska is just 2-9 ATS and they are 0-7 ATS their last 7 as a home underdog, 0-2 ATS this year in that situation. Hawkeyes are 1-0 ATS as a conference road favorite this year and 15-2 ATS in this situation dating back to 2011.

                              No. 2 Ohio State at No. 13 Michigan (FOX, 12:00 p.m. ET)
                              The Buckeyes clinched the Big 10 East with a tighter than expected 28-17 win over Penn State. OSU led 14-0 at half (we had first half play -10.5 for a winner) and could have been up 21-0 if not for a fumble on the 1-yard line by QB Justin Fields as he was diving into the endzone. At halftime the Buckeyes had rolled up 245 yards to just 64 yards for Penn State. OSU scored on their opening 2nd half possession and at 21-0 it looked like another breezy win for the Buckeyes. PSU responded with a TD and then Ohio State turned it over on each of their next 2 possessions and the Nittany Lions countered with 10 points off those turnovers to make it a 21-17 game. Despite the 11 point margin, Ohio State dominated the game with a 417-227 yard advantage and if not for the 3 turnovers, we might be talking about another runaway win. After covering 8 games in a row, the money train that is/was the Buckeyes has been tripped up a bit with back to back non-covers vs Rutgers and Penn State.

                              Michigan was in a tough spot last week but continued to play very well. They were coming off a rivalry win vs Michigan State and had Ohio State on deck. On top of that, the game was actually pretty much meaningless in the big scheme of things as Michigan was out of the picture as far as winning the Big 10 East. Despite that, they dominated a solid Indiana team 39-10. QB Shea Patterson continued his torrid pace throwing for 5 TD’s. In his last 2 games Patterson has thrown for a combined 750 yards and 9 TD’s. Michigan has now won 7 of their last 8 games with their last 4 all coming by at least 25 points. They held an IU offense that had scored at least 30 points in 8 of their first 10 games to just 2 TD’s and only 3.3 yards per play. After scoring TD’s on 2 of their first 3 offensive possessions, Indiana was completely stonewalled the rest of the way. After their 3rd possession, the Michigan defense held them scoreless on 182 total yards with 120 of those yard coming on their final 2 drives when the game was out of reach. The Wolverine defense has now allowed 14 points or less in 4 straight games. Are they now primed to end their 7 game losing streak at home vs OSU on Saturday? Rainy and windy conditions possible for this huge match up.

                              Inside the Numbers: Michigan entered last year’s contest @ OSU with a 9-1 SU record and they were a -3.5 point favorite on the road. OSU proceeded to gain nearly 600 yards and blast the Wolverines 62-39. That was the Buckeyes 14th win over Michigan in the last 15 seasons. Since 2000, Ohio State has been a road favorite 6 times in this series. They are 6-0 SU & 4-2 ATS in those games. The Wolverines have been a home underdog of 7 or more just 5 times since 1980 (all games) and they are 4-1 ATS in those games – 4 of those 5 were vs the Buckeyes (3-1 ATS).

                              Northwestern at Illinois (FS1, 12:00 p.m. ET)
                              Don’t look now but Northwestern may have found an offense. After averaging just 9 PPG through their first 7 Big 10 contests, the Cats broke out last Saturday with 22 points vs Minnesota. It wasn’t enough as their defense allowed 38 points to the Gophs but at least the offense looked semi efficient. We won’t go crazy here as the Wildcats still only had 223 total yards but they may get a boost from a new signal caller. Hunter Johnson, who hadn’t started a game since late September, stepped in as the starter here with Aidan Smith injured. Johnson exited last week with an injury after attempting only 2 passes so head coach Pat Fitzgerald was forced to call upon Andrew Marty, who was the 4th string QB at the beginning of the season. Marty stepped under center in the 2nd quarter down 21-0 and immediately led the Cats to their first TD of the game. He then proceeded to lead them on 3 TD drives in his 6 possessions which is pretty darn impressive for this offense. While his overall stats didn’t stand out, he did have 95 yards passing (80% completion rate) and he led the Wildcats with 56 yards rushing. After winning the Big 10 West crown last year, can the Cats finally pick up their FIRST conference win this season visiting their in-state rival on Saturday?

                              The roles in this series have taken a serious turn in just one year’s time. Last season, these two met with Northwestern playing to capture the Big 10 West title while Illinois was just finishing out the year with only 3 wins. This year it’s Northwestern looking for their first conference win while Illinois is already bowl eligible with a 6-5 record. The Illini had their 4 game winning streak stopped at Iowa last Saturday losing 19-10. While they did lose the game, they picked up another cover which was their 7th in the last 8 games. They sit at 4-4 in the Big 10 but as we’ve mentioned before, they have gotten a lot of breaks to get to that point. They had no reason beating Wisconsin or Michigan State as they were outplayed fairly drastically in both games. The Illini are averaging 306 YPG (4.8 YPP) and allowing 440 YPG (5.8 YPP). So at -134 YPG and -1.0 YPP in league play, to be sitting at 4-4 is quite fortunate. Now they sit in a situation they are not really used to. They have been a double digit underdog in 6 of their last 7 games and now they are laying more than a TD vs Northwestern on Saturday. A win here would put them above .500 in conference play for the first time since 2007. Rain & wind here as well.

                              Inside the Numbers: Last season Northwestern was favored by 16 in this game and they are now +8 so a full 24-point swing from just one year ago. The Cats won 24-16 but did not cover last year and the Illini actually outgained them 435 to 371. Since 1980, these two rivals have met 39 times with Illinois covering just 15 times. Northwestern is 12-4 ATS the last 16 times they’ve faced Illinois as a dog of more than a TD. The Illini have covered 6 straight games entering this game while Northwestern has lost 6 in a row to the number.

                              Indiana at Purdue (ESPN2, 12:00 p.m. ET)
                              Indiana was in a great spot to get a home upset last week facing a Michigan team that was coming in off a big win over MSU with Ohio State on deck. It didn’t happen as the Hoosiers were dominated 39-14 marking their 2nd lowest point total for Indiana this year. The 321 total yards put up by Indiana was their 2nd lowest output of the season as well. QB Peyton Ramsey was hit hard in the midsection in the first half and didn’t look the same after that. He continued to play but only completed 17 passes for just over 200 yards. He also threw an interception and did not throw a TD pass. IU played without their top WR Philyor and picked up a few more key injuries during the game as top RB Scott and starting LT Bedford left the game. After back to back big game losses to Penn State & Michigan, the Hoosiers travel to Purdue and they are already locked into a bowl bid with 7 wins. That’s a drastically different situation than the last 2 seasons when they entered this game having to win to get to bowl eligible. In order to make sure his team remains focused, head coach Tom Allen has posted signs all over the IU facilities saying “What have you done today to beat Purdue?” We’ll see if that helps get this team to put those losses behind them and focus on the Boilers.

                              Purdue will not be going to a bowl game this year as their 45-24 loss last week @ Wisconsin guaranteed they will have a losing record this year. That is a change from the last 2 season when they entered this rivalry game with a 5-6 record and won both years to qualify for a bowl game and knocked IU out as they were also 5-6 entering this game. Last week the Boilermakers were off a bye entering their game @ Wisconsin and pulled out all the stops running a number of trick plays and using formations the Badgers had not seen. It worked for a half as Purdue trailed only 24-17 at the break and had a surprising 226 yards at that point. They were held to just 7 points and 150 total yards. As we’ve said before in this report, their running game has been horrible. They had only 50 yards rushing last week and that puts all kinds of pressure on QB O’Connell who started the season as their 3rd stringer. He played well with 289 yards passing and 2 TD’s but couldn’t overcome a Purdue defense that allowed over 600 yards on 8.0 yards per play. Even with a +3 turnover margin for the game, they were still beaten by 21 points. It will be interesting to see how Purdue responds with no bowl hopes in sight. 90% chance of rain at game time as of this posting.

                              Inside the Numbers: 4 of the last 5 games in this series have been one score games (8 points or less). Purdue won each of the last 2 seasons by 7 points including @ Indiana last year 28-21 as a 3-opint favorite. Indiana has been a road favorite in this series only ONCE since 1990 – win and cover in 2015. Dating back to October of 2016, IU has been a road favorite (all games) just 6 times and they are 0-6 ATS.

                              No. 12 Wisconsin at No. 10 Minnesota (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET)
                              This one is for all the marbles in the Big 10 West. The winner moves on to play Ohio State in the Big 10 Championship game on December 7th. The Badgers picked up a 45-24 win over Purdue in their home finale falling short of the 24.5 point spread. Wisconsin put up a huge 607 total yards including over 400 yards on the ground! That performance moves them into 2nd in the Big 10 in total offense averaging 441 YPG trailing only Ohio State. Unfortunately their defense which was once nearly impenetrable has shown some signs of regressing over the last few weeks. A Purdue team that can’t run (50 yards rushing in the game) and is down to their 3rd string QB put up 376 total yards. A week earlier Nebraska had nearly 500 total yards. The last 2 games combined Wisconsin’s defense has allowed 873 yards and 7.1 yards per play. After allowing a mere 5 PPG over their first 6 games, they have given up an average of 26 PPG their last 5 contests. It doesn’t get any easier this week as they face off against a Minnesota offense that ranks 2nd in the Big Ten in scoring (36 PPG).

                              Minnesota bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 38-22 win @ Northwestern. The Gophers were favored by 14 points for much of the week but once they announced starting QB Tanner Morgan passed concussion protocol and would be the starter the line jumped to 16 at some spots landing right on the number. The Minnesota offense continued to roll topping 30 points for the 7th time in 8 conference games. The only defense to hold this offense in check was Iowa limiting them to 19 points however the Gophs did have 431 yards in that game. That offense now is led by the top passer in the Big 10 with Morgan averaging 243 YPG through the air. They also have the top 2 receivers in the league with Bateman and Johnson both averaging 93 YPG receiving (1st and 2nd in the league), and a RB, Rodney Jones, that ranks 3rd in the league in rushing. The defense was not stellar allowing a Northwestern team that had scored a total of 64 points over their first 7 conference games, to put up 22 points. The Cats, who had 7 TD’s in conference play entering the game, had 3 in this one alone. Keep an eye on the weather in this one. The forecast early in the week calls for potential snow and windy conditions on Saturday.

                              Inside the Numbers: Wisconsin won this battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe 14 consecutive years until last season when the Gophers rolled to a 37-15 win as a 12-point underdog. Going back even further the Badgers are 21-3 SU the last 24 in this series. The underdog has covered 9 of the last 12 in this Big 10 rivalry. Gophers are 12-3 ATS their last 15 games as a home underdog. Badgers are just 3-5 both SU and ATS that last 2 seasons on the road in Big 10 play. However, leading into last season they were 15-1 SU (12-4 ATS) their last 16 Big 10 road games. Surprisingly, this has been a fairly high scoring series with 15 of the last 19 going over the total.

                              Rutgers at No. 8 Penn State (Big Ten, 3:30 p.m. ET)
                              The Rutgers offense has been beyond bad this season. With the Knights and Northwestern, the Big 10 has 2 of the 3 worst scoring offenses in the nation. Last week the Knights were shut out 27-0 at home vs Michigan State meaning they have been held scoreless in half of the conference games this year (4). They have now scored 6 TD’s and kicked 1 FG in 8 conference games this year. That’s it. They are averaging 5.6 PPG in Big 10 play. Last Saturday they had 7 first half possessions and their longest play was in the first 30 minutes was 7 yards. Rutgers now gains fewer yards per play (3.3) and allows more yards per play (6.6) than anyone else in the Big 10. On Saturday they face their 3rd top 30 defense in the last 3 weeks so don’t expect their offense to look any better this week as they try and avoid a winless conference season.

                              How does Penn State respond after last week’s gigantic game @ OSU? That game was basically for the Big 10 East title and PSU come up short 28-17. It looked like it was going to be another runaway win for Ohio State as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead very early in the 2nd half. PSU took advantage of back to back OSU turnovers scoring 17 points in the span of 4:00 minutes cutting the lead to 21-17. After kicking a FG with 3:12 left in the 3rd quarter, the Nittany Lions were only able to gain 48 yards from that point on. They were forced to go with their back up QB Will Levis for much of the 2nd half after starter Sean Clifford exited with an injury. Clifford is listed at the starter on this week’s depth chart so it looks like his will be good to go in the season finale. Despite the fairly tight final score last week, PSU (9-2 on the season) was outgained by 190 yards making in the 6th time in their 11 games they’ve had fewer yards than their opponent. They obviously shouldn’t have any problem with an overmatched Rutgers team this week but do they have enough left in the tank to cover this huge number? This is the only Big 10 game where weather doesn’t look like it will be a factor with temps in the upper 30’s light winds and no precipitation. Of course it’s Wednesday and that could change so keep an eye on this.

                              Inside the Numbers: PSU is 18-1 SU (10-9 ATS) in this series since 1980. The lone Rutgers win during that stretch was 21-16 back in 1988. The Nittany Lions have never been an underdog in this series, however they’ve never been favored by more than 31 until today. Penn State was a 28.5 point favorite last year on the road and topped Rutgers 20-7 (no cover). Rutgers is 1-7 ATS this season as an underdog of 14 points or more. With this spread set at or above -40, it’s the first time since 1999 that PSU has been a favorite of this magnitude.

                              Maryland at Michigan State (FS1, 3:30 p.m. ET)
                              Maryland’s season continues to spiral downward and may have hit rock bottom last week when they were destroyed 54-7 by Nebraska at home. The Huskers came into the game having lost 5 of their last 6 games with their only win during that stretch coming by 3 points vs Northwestern who is winless in the Big 10. Despite that the Terps were dominated on their home field getting outgained by 325 yards and outrushed by 156 yards. It was the fourth straight game that Maryland failed to top 14 points. Since beating Rutgers in early October, the Terrapins have lost 6 consecutive games with only one cover during that stretch which was only by a half point. During that 6 game run, Maryland has been outgained by 1,561 yards (-260 YPG) and outscored by 211 points (-35 PPG). They are now dead last in the Big 10 (conference games) in total defense allowing 508 YPG and scoring defense allowing 44 PPG. If there was ever a team that looks like they are simply playing out the stretch run in hopes of getting to the end of the season, it’s this Maryland team. Rallying on the road in their season finale will be tough.

                              Michigan State’s 27-0 win @ Rutgers last week pulls their record up to 5-6 meaning this game will either move them to bowl eligible with a win or end their season with a loss. The Spartan offense continues to be a concern as they were only able to put up 27 points on a Rutgers defense that is allowing 41 PPG on conference play. Rutgers had allowed 35 points or more in every other Big 10 game this season before Saturday. MSU averaged only 5.1 YPP vs a defense that is allowing 6.6 YPP in league play. They led 17-0 at half but blew a few chances to be up by a larger margin including getting stopped at the 1-yard line on fourth and goal. The Michigan State defense was fantastic as most have been vs the inept Rutgers offense. They held the Knights to just 140 total yards and allowed only THREE plays of more than 10 yards the entire game. MSU forced Rutgers to a 3 and out on every first half possession (6 punts and the half ran out during their 7th possession). Sparty was favored by 22 in that game and picked up their first cover since September 21st. Now favored by that same number at home vs Maryland, can they pull it off on back to back weeks to become bowl eligible? Sleet and freezing rain expected for this game.

                              Inside the Numbers: All 5 games in this series have been decided by at least 10 points. Last year MSU went to Maryland as a 3-point favorite and dominated the game 28-3. The Terps had 100 yards of total offense in the game. Maryland is 1-7 SU (2-6 ATS) in Big 10 play and 6 of their 7 conference losses have come by at least 26 points. This spread with MSU -22 is tied for the largest of the season (they were -22 vs Tulsa in the season opener). The Spartans are 0-1 ATS this year as a favorite of -21 or more and 0-8 ATS their last 8 in that spot.
