156 Oklahoma St. 3.0 (-115) Pinnacle vs 155 West Virginia Analysis: I'm playing on OKLAHOMA STATE. With a 6-0 record, the Mountaineers and their fans are starting to get pretty excited. I expect them to suffer their first loss this week though. After a slow start, the Cowboys have turned the corner. They've won three straight, starting with an 18-point win over Texa‚s and ending with a 24-point win last week over Kansas. While that may not have been as impressive as WVU's 24-point over TCU, the Cowboys are still a team full of confidence right now, one which is excited at the prospects of handing WVU its first loss. Keep in mind that the Mountaineers have only played one "true" road game (Texas Tech) all season. They're 6-5 SU (5-6 ATS) their last 11 on the road, while the Cowboys are 13-5 SU at home, during the same time. Including an upset loss against the Cowboys (at WVU) last October, the Mountaineers are just 4-7 ATS in October the last 2+ seasons. While the Mountaineers, who weren't ranked to begin the season and who weren't expected to be this good, have been tough on both sides of the ball, the Cowboys can score with the best of them. They're strong on special teams and very well-coached. Grab the points but don't be surprised to see an outright upset. Pick Made: Oct 24 2016 7:45AM PST

192 Missouri -4.5 (-106) Pinnacle vs 191 Kentucky Analysis: I'm playing on MISSOURI. The‚ Wildcats have the superior overall record and were the more successful team last time out. They upset Mississippi State while the Tigers were upset by Middle Tennessee State. However, I believe that Missouri is favored for good reason. Homefield has proven significant in recent meetings. The Cats won by eight at Kentucky last season. The Tigers won by 10 here at Missouri the previous season. Including that result, note that the Wildcats are a dismal 5-15 ATS their last 20 as underdogs in the 3.5 to 10 range. They're also just 6-14 ATS their last 20 on turf. While both offenses are very capable, both defenses have struggled. Both teams have played some tough opposition and both will be looking at this as a winnable game, one which they need. Kentucky is looking to become bowl elligible this season while Missouri just needs a conference victory. The Cats have yet to win a road game though, getting outscored by an average of 39.5 to 6.5 away from Kentucky. (In fairness, they played at some very tough venues.) Still, the Cats' road woes go back a long time, they're only 1-10 SU their last 11 on the road. Missouri, on the other hand, is still outscoring teams by an average score of 53-25 here this season and is still 12-3 SU its last 15 here. Look for homefield to again make the difference, the Tigers rising to the occasion and delivering a deadly blow to the Cats' dreams of winning the SEC East.Pick Made: Oct 24 2016 7:56AM PST

202 Oregon -7.5 (-120) Pinnacle vs 201 Arizona St. Analysis: I'm playing on OREGON. For the first time in two decades, the Ducks have lost five straight. However, I expect this to be the week where they "get healthy" again. While the defense remains a concern, Oregon has found its QB; Justin Herbert threw six TD passes last game, the Ducks scoring 49 points. Sure, it resulted in a tough 52-49 loss, at Cal. The Ducks showed a lot of heart though, rallying from 21-0 and 34-14 deficits. As that was a Friday game, they've had an extra day to recover and prepare for this one. The Sun Devils, who are also "defensively-challenged" and who are also off b2b losses of their own, are banged-up on both sides of the ball, including at the QB position. Starting QB Manny Wilkins has been banged-up a lot and he got hurt again last game. While his status remains uncertain as of this writing, it appears entirely possible that he could miss the game. With their backup QB already out, that means inexperienced true freshman Sterling-Cole would get the call. Regardless of who is behind center for the Sun Devils, it looks like they may also be without their starting center once again. A.J. McCollum missed last week's game due to a persona matter. Regardless, I expect the Sun Devils to have trouble keeping up with Herbert and the rejuvenated Oregon offense. With three of their final four on the road - and the lone remaining home game coming against Stanford - the Ducks know they aƒbsolutely need to take advantage of this winnable game. I expect them to do just that, pulling away for a double-digit "blowout" win. Pick Made: Oct 26 2016 2:03PM PST
