TOP PLAY – <st1:stockticker>CFB</st1:stockticker> GAME OF THE WEEK: <st1:state><st1lace>WISCONSIN</st1lace></st1:state> -2 -120<o></o>
If you have been following my top 25 rankings then you know I love <st1:state><st1lace>Iowa</st1lace></st1:state> and have showed them tremendous respect so far. However, today they find themselves in a very difficult spot of traveling to <st1:state><st1lace>Wisconsin</st1lace></st1:state>, a team playing on revenge!! The Hawkeyes’ biggest weakness on defense is stopping the run and running the ball is what the Badgers do best!! The Badgers suffered their first loss last week to <st1lace><st1lacename>Ohio</st1lacename> <st1lacetype>State</st1lacetype></st1lace>, 31-13, despite holding the Buckeyes to just 184 yards of total offense and out-gaining them by almost 200 yards. It was special teams and a pick-6 that gave OSU the win but don’t expect the Badgers to gift wrap this one again this week!! The Badgers are 22-3 L25 at home and today they get revenge!! It is worth noting the Badgers fall into a strong system that supports a play on certain unranked home teams against ranked opponents.

Lost in Vandy’s poor offense is a great defense that is only giving up 15 point per game!! <st1:country-region><st1lace>Georgia</st1lace></st1:country-region> proved again last week that they are simply not the elite team everyone expected at the start of the season despite losing many players to the NFL. Vandy lost to Army last week but Army caught the Commodores in a classic conference sandwich spot, off a big game against Ole Miss with <st1:country-region><st1lace>Georgia</st1lace></st1:country-region> on deck. And now Vandy catches <st1:country-region><st1lace>Georgia</st1lace></st1:country-region> in the perfect spot – 2<sup>nd</sup> game of a B2B road swing and still licking their wounds from that ass whoopin’ to <st1:state><st1lace>Tennessee</st1lace></st1:state> last week. Look for Vandy’s defense to get the job done again this week and to keep the Commodores in it to the end.

Shoot me now because MTSU has burnt me already this season but I like how this one sets up. MTSU has probably had the toughest schedule in the nation so far starting the season with 4 of 5 games ON THE <st1:stockticker>ROAD</st1:stockticker> – doesn’t even seem fair!! However, they return home for a huge game against an <st1:stockticker>SEC</st1:stockticker> opponent and with a week off to prepare!! <st1:city><st1lace>Houston</st1lace></st1:city> went ot <st1:state><st1lace>Mississippi</st1lace></st1:state> last week and beat the Dogs. In that game <st1:city><st1lace>Houston</st1lace></st1:city> proved just how weak the dog’s pass defense is. MSU defense has only recorded 9 sacks in 6 games, never a good situation when you can’t get to the QB. Additionally, this unit is giving up almost 15 yards per completion, never good when you are facing a pass-minded offense!! MTSU possesses the speed and talent to also expose the dog’s weakness again this week and with a week off to prepare I like their chances even more!! MTSU is tied for 7<sup>th</sup> nationally in creating turnovers and this bodes well against a mistake prone MSU offense!! MSU is a horrible 1-8 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> off a home game and with <st1:state><st1lace>Florida</st1lace></st1:state> on deck come out flat and get caught looking ahead!!

So how do you follow up a huge road win against a bigger conference?? By falling flat on your faces on the road against a lessor opponent!! <st1:city><st1lace>Houston</st1lace></st1:city> went to <st1:state><st1lace>Mississippi</st1lace></st1:state> last week and shocked the MSU Bulldogs and now finds themselves on the road again for 3<sup>rd</sup> and final game of a B2B2B road swing – something that is not easy for kids at this level!! <st1:city><st1lace>Houston</st1lace></st1:city> is extremely over-rated despite being 4-1 and nationally ranked. Their defense is terrible and gives up more than 450 yards per game including almost 230 on the ground!! Tulane’s offense has struggled at times despite having experience and talent but the perfect remedy for any struggling unit is a horrible defense and that’s what they get today. Look for Tulane to stay competitive throughout and for <st1:city><st1lace>Houston</st1lace></st1:city> to still be feeling “too good” after their win last week. It is worth noting that <st1:city><st1lace>Houston</st1lace></st1:city> is just 3-8 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> in their L11 road games!!

I have played <st1:stockticker>CSU</st1:stockticker> a few times this season and mostly with success. This <st1:stockticker>CSU</st1:stockticker> team is very talented and playing with tremendous pride. Scheduling may very well be this team’s biggest challenge this year. The Rams are coming off a stretch that included BYU, <st1:state><st1lace>Idaho</st1lace></st1:state> and Utah B2B2B and now travels to TCU to face a ranked opponent – very tough for any time. However, this team is battle tested and they lost to BYU by 19 despite out-gaining them, lost to <st1:state><st1lace>Idaho</st1lace></st1:state> in the games closing moments despite out-gaining them, and last week they took <st1:state><st1lace>Utah</st1lace></st1:state> to the wire before losing by 7. <st1:stockticker>CSU</st1:stockticker> has a very good line and is very balanced on offense. Defensively, they are good enough to slow TCU down. And let’s not forget that <st1:stockticker>CSU</st1:stockticker> ranks 15<sup>th</sup> best in the nation for turnover margin while TCU has been very mistake-prone ranking 93<sup>rd</sup> in the nation in turnover margin!! And let’s not also forget that TCU has BYU on deck and may get caught looking ahead!! Look for <st1:stockticker>CSU</st1:stockticker> to stay comfortably inside the spread!!

At 5-0 <st1:state><st1lace>Kansas</st1lace></st1:state> is ranked #17 in the nation. However, this team has really benefited from an easy schedule so far and today finds themselves in a very dangerous spot – on the road against a battle tested team and with <st1:state><st1lace>Oklahoma</st1lace></st1:state> on deck!! Despite being 1-4 on the season <st1:state><st1lace>Colorado</st1lace></st1:state> is 3-1 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> in lined games. Last week they did a terrific job against <st1:state><st1lace>Texas</st1lace></st1:state>, even lead 14-0 at one point, before special teams gave the game away!! Look for <st1:state><st1lace>Colorado</st1lace></st1:state> and Coach Hawkins to test a <st1:state><st1lace>Kansas</st1lace></st1:state> defense that hasn’t really faced any real threats to-date. The line is suspect given the fact that <st1:state><st1lace>Kansas</st1lace></st1:state> is ranked, beat the Buffs last year by 16 as a 14 point fave and with the Buffs as cellar dwellers. Look for <st1:state><st1lace>Colorado</st1lace></st1:state> to play inspired ball and to potentially shock this <st1:state><st1lace>Kansas</st1lace></st1:state> team, a team I maintain is over-rated!!

STRONG OPINION: <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> MONEYLINE +245<o></o>
Navy finds themselves in the unfamiliar role of playing the 2<sup>nd</sup> of a B2B road trip and kids at this level struggle in unfamiliar roles. <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> is coming off an impressive win over <st1lace>East Carolina</st1lace> and look for momentum to carry over to today!! Navy crushed <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> last year 34-7 as a 12 point fave and now this year is only laying 7/8 – WHY?? This line is suspect and I expect <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> to be ready to get revenge for that loss last year!! Look for <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> to stack the box to slow down the run – if they are successful they will force Navy to the air, something we all know navy is not accustomed to. <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> is one of the best this year at creating turnovers, 19 total including 11 picks. Navy hasn’t seen a QB like Bo Mitchell who is 16<sup>th</sup> in the nation in total offense, averaging over 280 yards per game!! His ability to throw and run will presents Navy with many matchup problems!! <o></o>

triple-dime bet 124 Clemson -7.5 (-110) betus vs 123 Wake Forest
Analysis:
PLAY: CLEMSON
RATING: TRIPLE DIME PLAY
It's the 3rd Saturday in October and Wake Forest is playing only it's second road game of the year. Clemson has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game and will be in a angry mood following their loss at Maryland as a 12.5 point favorite. Note that loss came the week after their loss to Top 25 TCU late in 4th Q. Clemson looked right past Maryland but won't be looking past Wake Forest today. At 2-3 on the Season this is an absolute must game for Clemson and we will see their best effort of the year. The fact that Vegas has this line sitting at 7.5 tells me Clemson is the right side as they are begging you to take the Dog. I have Clemson winning 34-17. TAKE CLEMSON as MARCO'S TRIPLE DIME COLLEGE MASSACRE GAME and make them a TRIPLE DIME PLAY.

double-dime bet 111 N.C. State 2.0 (-110) betus vs 112 Boston College
Analysis:
PLAY: NC ST
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
Throw out last weeks loss from NC ST. and last weeks game game the week following a Overtime loss at Wake Forest. I have said it many times teams don't play well the week after a Overtime loss. You will see a focused NC ST team today who catches a Boston College team coming off a total beat down at Virginia Tech last week. TAKE— NC ST.

double-dime bet 119 Iowa 3.0 (-110) bodog vs 120 Wisconsin
Analysis: PLAY: IOWA
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
Everyone is looking at the stats from last weeks Wisconsin & Ohio St game and saying Wisconsin outplayed Ohio St which is true. But the fact is they outplayed them and still lost by 18 points??? The public expects Wisconsin to bounce back but the fact is teams don't bounce back from those kind of losses you will generally have a hangover effect. Iowa has won ugly last 2 weeks but brings A - Game today. Iowa wins OUTRIGHT 27-20. TAKE IOWA.

double-dime bet 111 N.C. State 2.0 (-110) betus vs 112 Boston College
Analysis:
PLAY: NC ST
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
Throw out last weeks loss from NC ST. and last weeks game game the week following a Overtime loss at Wake Forest. I have said it many times teams don't play well the week after a Overtime loss. You will see a focused NC ST team today who catches a Boston College team coming off a total beat down at Virginia Tech last week. TAKE— NC ST.

double-dime bet 119 Iowa 3.0 (-110) bodog vs 120 Wisconsin
Analysis: PLAY: IOWA
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
Everyone is looking at the stats from last weeks Wisconsin & Ohio St game and saying Wisconsin outplayed Ohio St which is true. But the fact is they outplayed them and still lost by 18 points??? The public expects Wisconsin to bounce back but the fact is teams don't bounce back from those kind of losses you will generally have a hangover effect. Iowa has won ugly last 2 weeks but brings A - Game today. Iowa wins OUTRIGHT 27-20. TAKE IOWA.

Chris Jordans 3 picks for today
Chris Jordan Saturday's winners ...
200♦ MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE - The Blue Raiders are stepping out of conference for a quick cup of coffee with SEC-member Mississippi State, and there's something telling me Middle Tennessee State is the value with the point spread sitting this low. This is a team that started the season playing Clemson, Memphis and Maryland, and though this isn't a deadly SEC trio to boast about, it is decent competition for a mid-major team out of the Sun Belt Conference. And with the No. 1 passing offense from their league, and 21st in the entire nation, I'm betting the Raiders will pass all over the 78th-ranked pass defense. Mississippi State has lost three straight game - all at home, to LSU, Georgia Tech and Houston - and could get caught looking ahead to Florida next week. Perhaps that's why this line is so low. Whatever the case, I can't imagine the oddsmakers have the line where it is for any other reason except they're begging you to take the road chalk. So, I'm playing the home pup.
200♦ CENTRAL MICHIGAN - This is the biggest rivalry for the Chippewas, and since the seniors on this team are 3-0 so far against Western Michigan, I'm thinking CMU continues to play dominating football in MAC play. At 5-1, the Chipps haven't looked back since a season-opening loss at Arizona. That includes a win at Michigan State, and four wins thereafter by an average final of 43-10. Though the Broncos are coming in off a 58-26 whitewash of Toledo, they won't have what it takes to keep up with the spirited Chippewas, who become bowl eligible with a win today. I suspect CMU will use its power rushing game that ranks second in the conference, to blast through WMU's bleak defense that ranks 102nd against the run. And oh yes, then there's the situation revolving quarterback Dan LeFevour, who is supposed to be the next big thing out of the MAC. WMU has a tough signal caller in Tim Hiller, but CMU is just too good this season. Lay the chalk.
200♦ OHIO U. - Perfect spot for Ohio to do some serious damage. Mistake-prone Miami-Ohio contiues to shoot itself in the foot with silly mistakes, and now it must take on a rival team that has been getting it done behind a knack for prying the ball away from opponents. Coming into this game, the 4-2 Bobcats, who are 2-0 in MAC play, were tied for second in the nation with 19 forced turnovers, tied for third with 10 fumbles recovered and tied for eighth with 10 interceptions. Ohio also ranked 13th with a 1.17 average turnover margin per game. On the flipside, the 0-7 RedHawks have lost eight fumbles and a MAC-worst 14 interceptions. Miami-O has been shut out twice, its scoring offense ranks dead last in the nation (120th with 10.6 points per game), and its defense is horrendous in every facet of the game. This marks the Red Hawks' fifth road game in six games - since Sept. 12. This one is going to get ugly boys, as the Bobcats roll.
