We have another big Saturday of college football and we have it covered with line moves from coast to coast. Take a minute to review all the betting trends, our free picks and predictions (365-282-7 long term, 174-131-5 of late) to see what we are thinking today. See you back here Sunday.*
CFB – (317) CLEMSON at (318) WAKE FOREST *3:30 ET* ESPN* *New*
Though it was evident early Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence was likely to play after being injured last week, football bettors did not take a strong liking to the Tigers until later in the week. Clemson is now up four points to -20 at Wake Forest. What this ACC affair is likely to come down is the energy of Clemson. If they block and overpower the Demon Deacons at the point of attack, they should win and cover. But if the Tigers are going through the motions as they did for a half last week against Syracuse, Wake will cover. Clemson wins 38-20 and barely fails to cover.
Betting Trend -*59% backing Clemson
Doug's VPID Take*- Lean Wake Forest
CFB – (323) SYRACUSE at (324) PITTSBURGH *12:20 ET* ACCN
Syracuse had Clemson beat and could not put them away. That has to sting somewhat and football bettors are not sure the Orange can put together the same kind of effort and lowered Syracuse from -6 to -4 at Pittsburgh. However, if you are thinking about taking the Panthers, keep in mind they are 1-11 ATS at home versus teams averaging 450 or yards a game.*Update*- Syracuse was as low as -3, but on Friday perked up to -3.5. There is not much to like about how Pitt plays and the Cuse get the call.
Betting Trend -*Was 81% backing Syracuse, now 82%
Doug's VPID Take*- Syracuse covers
CFB – (325) SMU at (326) CENTRAL FLORIDA *7:00 ET* ESPNU **New*******
This is one of two major totals moves that have occurred in the last few days. This AAC clash has seen the total skyrocket from 69.5 to 74.5. Because UCF is scoring 48.7 PPG and SMU allows 38 PPG, the Knights are expected to do their part towards a higher total. In the three best defenses the Mustangs have faced, the Ponies have only averaged 18.3 PPG and UCF on the season concedes 16.7 PPG. If the Knights reach 50, that would mean SMU has to score 25 and that is not expected to happen.
Betting Trend -*76% backing Over
Doug's VPID Take*- Lean Under
