North Carolina State +3 (-115) (2x)
Line doesn't make much sense to me. It gives you the impression that Clemson is good, which they are not. They can't throw the ball for shit and you saw what happened to them last week against Boston College. Sure you can look at the past meetings between these two teams and say Clemson has dominated but this is NC States best team in a long time. Russell Wilson is one of the best pure throwers in the country. Forget Cam Newton and Denard Robinson, those guys are hybrids. Wilson can throw with the best of them and this Clemson defense is going to have to do something no team has done this year and that is hold NC State to under 27 points. Because if it is one of those high scoring games then Clemson doesn't stand a chance. They are way too one dimensional and without CJ Spiller they really like that extra special player who can score on any touch he gets. I mean, yea their running game is still very strong but when you are trading points back and forth eventually the clock is going to tick down and the team that throws the ball better will have a pretty big advantage. The scary thing is NC State runs the ball pretty well also making them a very underrated offense. Clemson has only reached 27 points twice against real teams (not North Texas or Prebysterian) and it is going to take a crazy good effort by this Clemson defense to get the win. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked to see Clemson pull a mini upset but in my opinion the wrong team is favored here.

Rutgers +10.5 (2x)
I love this spot for Rutgers. They have a knack for playing well on these week night National TV games and I was in attendance last year when they dominated South Florida 31-0 on a Thursday night. I don't expect the utter domination I saw in that game to repeat itself but I expect Rutgers to play very well. They have played great football against South Florida winning the last four meetings, twice as dogs. I mean Rutgers has a rep for being a bad team this year but I am not ready to go their yet. They are 1-1 in the Big East and aside from being beaten by 20 in Pittsburgh they have played everyone close. So is it because they are bad or because they just are the type of team that plays close games? The loss to Tulane was inexcusable but I think this team is designed to play close games. A hit or miss offense and a good, bend but don't break defense. Keep in mind they have only given up more then 24 points once this year and that was last week. I am expecting a defensive battle and if you want to give me 10.5 points in what I think is likely to be a 20-17 type of game then I will take it all day. Let's keep in mind how much this South Florida offense has struggled this year. They have been held to 14 points or less in three games this year and this is the same team that only beat a miserable Western Kentucky team by 12. The thing is South Florida is good when BJ Daniels is. Daniels proves how great he is one week and then will come back and stink it up the next and look lost. Rutgers has defended him very well because of their disciplined Schiano defense that doesn't let him run and create time. Plus, Daniels has never looked good with pressure in his face and Schiano has brought a lot of blitzes the last few times they have met So Fla. Last year against RU Daniels went 7/17 with a 129 yards, 0 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. That went along with 16 carries for 11 yards in a 31-0 loss in Rutgers. Even before the Daniels regime Schiano was keeping Grothe (a better thrower and runner in my opinion) in check with ease. These 10.5 points are just too valuable here.

Virginia Tech/Ga Tech u56 (1x)
Line looks way inflated here. Georgia Tech option attack just hasn't been the same this year. I think they miss Dwyer more then they thought they would coming into the year. No one has stepped up and proved to be effective in this offense as he was. Virginia Tech has been on a rampage since the lost to James Madison winning and covering six straight games since. The thing I stress with these option, gimmick attacks is that some teams just have the speed and discipline to limit the big plays and the effectiveness of the option. When your plan is to run the ball for three downs as long as you can stuff one of them and tackle well you have a great shot at forcing a lot of punts. Va Tech has those kind of players and they have experience stopping this Ga Tech attack. The Yellow Jackets are only averaging 18 points per game over the last five meetings with Va Tech and the last three meetings have gone under totals of 54.5, 40.5 and 41. As long as Va Tech doesn't destroy this defense this one will stay under. I think this is a 31-17 game.

I wanted to thank you this morning for the Colts pick last night. Took them with my local guy at -6 and was able to hold on. Turned out to be a 2X play for me which is 600 dollars. Kicked myself for playing NFL, but worked out well. Good luck this week. Great handicapping last week should be a great week this with games every night. I have a couple of stronger plays for Saturday. would love for to take a look at on my thread and my write ups on them throughout the week if you have the time. I see that we are on opposite sides on the South Florida game, which I thought you were really hot on South Florida and after facing a very good Cincy Defense and what they did to them I am kind of surprised you are on the Rutgers side. You do bring up some great points about Daniels, should be very interesting how he comes out and plays tomorrow night. Should be a good game. Look forward to your input all week. Checked out your NBA thread .......this is a great time to make alot of money on the NBA when Vegas doesn't have a grip on the teams yet. GL all week!

Central Florida -2 (1x)
Very underrated team here and Houston seems to be overrated while people still remember the numbers Case Keenum put up last year and this high powered offense. But, this year they haven't been as good and I think a lot has to do with Keenum being injured. Sure, the quarterback position is still putting up very productive numbers but Piland has completed only 58%. In this quick strike offense Keenum never completed lower then 67% and trust me those extra incomplete passes hurt when you run this offense. UCF has won every game by two scores and their two losses came to Kansas St and NC St. They only lost to NC St by 7 and Kansas St by 4. They are 7-1 ATS this year and I have to back them here. I learned my lesson when I faded them against UAB. This is a good team and they will win a bowl game this year in my opinion.

Hey thanks for the picks...just wondering do you have any thoughts on the illinois michigan game? I watched michigan on saturday & their defence is awful, i think illinois+3 is too good to pass up.
