Middle Tennessee State at Miami Ohio
Thursday 01/06 08:00 PM Eastern
4 units on Miami Ohio +1 (-110)

The Miami Ohio Redbirds were an unlikely Bowl candidate to start the season. They were coming off a disasterous 1-11 season and over their last 16 games they were !BAD!, going j...

Tuesday 01/04 08:20 PM Eastern
3 units on Ohio State -3 (-115)

Most that watched the Bowl games on New Year's Day would come away with the take that the SEC is light years ahead of the Big-10. Florida, Alabama and Mississippi State took...

2 units on Virginia Tech +3.5 (-115)

Connecticut at Oklahoma
Saturday 01/01 08:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Connecticut +16 (-110)

This is David vs. Goliath and my guess is that the Oklahoma Sooners aren't feeling very motivated by what is deemed a vastly inferior opponent. The Huskies were at long...

TCU at Wisconsin
Saturday 01/01 05:00 PM Eastern
4 units on TCU -3 (-105)

TCU came within an eyelash of playing for a National Title. Will they lose their edge? Hardly. A Rose Bowl invite is enough to motivate any team, and especially an unbeaten one ...

Michigan at Mississippi State
Saturday 01/01 01:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Michigan +3.5 (-110)

There are some great dynamics working here. While the Michigan defense has been disappointing, the offense with a healthy Denard Robinson is a very tall task for any defense. Mi...

Saturday 01/01 01:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Game Total OVER 48 +100

The Outback Bowl will feature a pair of teams that finished what has to be considered disappointing 7-5 campaigns. Last year these teams had far more impressive runs. The Gators...

Ohio State at Iowa

2 units on Western Michigan -3 (-105)

The Kent State Golden Flashes bring a very good overall defense to the table, ranked #17 in fewest yards allowed on the season. Most of that is predicated upon a solid run-stop ...

3 units on UNLV +19.5 (-110)

Wednesday 11/17 06:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Akron +9.5 (-105)

2 units on California +19.5 (-110)

This is a great opportunity for the Cal Bears to make their season. They have been a topsy-turvy team this year, exchanging blowouts for and against. They have lost on the road ...

Penn State at Ohio State
Saturday 11/13 03:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Ohio State -18 (-110)

Kudos to Joe Paterno as he notched win #400 last week. It is a good thing he got it last week, because Penn State is not winning here. For that matter, neither is anyone else. T...

Iowa State at Colorado
Saturday 11/13 01:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Colorado +2.5 (-110)

The Dan Hawkins era in Colorado is over. What affect will that have on this team? I think a good one. The Buffs were absolutely awful with him at the helm and I think a fresh st...

East Carolina at UAB
Thursday 11/11 08:00 PM Eastern
2 units on East Carolina +1.5 (-110)

Troy at North Texas
Saturday 11/06 07:00 PM Eastern
3 units on North Texas +11.5 (-110)

Hawaii at Boise State
Saturday 11/06 03:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Boise State -21 (-110)

Many feel that Hawaii will give the Broncos a game here, but I'm not one of them. Yes, the Warriors put up 36 points on USC in their opener, but they gave up 49. Hawaii...

Baylor at Oklahoma State
Saturday 11/06 12:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Oklahoma State -7.5 (-110)

This line got a shove downward as soon as Baylor went to Texas and beat the Longhorns. The problem is that Texas is a far cry from their former selves. If Baylor went to, let...

Louisville at Syracuse
Saturday 11/06 12:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Louisville +6 (-110)

The oddsmakers are getting bullish on Syracuse as they realize the public has begun to take notice. The last time the Orange were posted as a favorite in anything but MAC C...

Rutgers at South Florida
Wednesday 11/03 07:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Rutgers +10.5 (-110)

There isn't a lot of wiggle room in this one for South Florida as the total is extremely low at 42 and they are a double-digit favorite. The Bulls are gaining a lot of favor...

Fresno State at San Jose State
Saturday 10/23 08:00 PM Eastern
2 units on San Jose State +19.5 (-110)

The Fresno State Bulldogs seem to field a quality team year after year. San Jose State is the opposite. As a result, over 80% of the public bets are coming in on the big road fa...

Colorado State at Utah
Saturday 10/23 06:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Utah -30 (-110)

Utah is a big surprise this season and comes into this one vs. Colorado State with a perfect 6-0 mark. They have quietly snuck into the top 10 in all of the polls (BCS, AP, USA ...

Washington State at Stanford
Saturday 10/23 05:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Stanford -34.5 (-110)

LSU at Auburn
Saturday 10/23 03:30 PM Eastern
2 units on LSU +6 (-110)

Last year Auburn came into this game with the No. 8 ranked offense, while LSU was ranked No. 112. But even then, LSU held Auburn to 193 total yards, while generating 393 themsel...

Saturday 10/23 03:30 PM Eastern
3 units on Central Florida -21.5 (-110)

It isn't often that one of the top stop units comes out of Conference USA, but such is the case with the Central Florida Knights. They rank No. 8 in NCAA Football, allowing ...

23

Wyoming at BYU
Saturday 10/23 02:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Wyoming +10.5 (-110)

The BYU Cougars' reputation is a bit inflated. Both of these teams come in with an identical 2-5 mark yet the Cougars are laying double-digits. It is asking a lot when you h...

23

Florida Atlantic at Arkansas State
Saturday 10/23 01:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Florida Atlantic +7.5 (-110)

This is certainly not the top of the Sun Belt squaring off in this one. Both of these teams are weak on both sides of the ball. The Owls young offense has struggled but&nbs...

Penn State at Minnesota
Saturday 10/23 12:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Minnesota +9.5 (-110)

It has been a slow maturation process for Penn State QB Robert Bolden. Through six games, he has thrown just four TD passes to seven interceptions. The lack of a consi...

UCLA at Oregon
Thursday 10/21 09:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Oregon -26 (-110)

5 units on North Texas +5.5 (-110)

2 units on UL Monroe +2.5 (-110)

3 units on Louisiana Tech +1.5 (-110)

The Idaho Vandals came out of nowhere to win eight games a year ago, culminating with a come-from-behind win 43-42 in their Bowl game against Bowling Green. Lost in the apparent...

Arkansas at Auburn
Saturday 10/16 03:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Arkansas +3.5 (-110)

Ryan Mallett used to have trouble on the road. He has certainly matured and is playing at a high level right now, regardless of location. The Arkansas offense is potent, but the...

Saturday 10/16 03:30 PM Eastern
2 units on Oklahoma State +3 (-115)

Cincinnati at Louisville
Friday 10/15 08:00 PM Eastern
3 units on Louisville +3 (-120)

The Cincinnati Bearcats were ranked to start the season, but have played nothing like a ranked team. It's obviously they were vastly overrated coming into the season. T...

Rice at UTEP
Saturday 10/09 09:00 PM Eastern
2 units on Rice +9.5 (-110)

The UTEP Miners appear to have it all going as they come into their game with Rice with a 4-1 mark. Not so fast. They beat New Mexico State, a team that is 0-4 and has been outs...
