15* graded play on the Houston Cougars as they take on the Memphis Tigers in American Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that that Houston will lose this game by 7 or fewer points. I like playing this as a combination wager comprised as a 11* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 55-19 mark for 74.3% ATS winners since 2003. Play on a road team (HOUSTON) after scoring and allowing 17 points or less points and is now facing an opponent after scoring 24 points or more in the first half last game. 50% of the games played based on this system covered the spread by 7+ points. In their last game, the Cougars had UCF on the ropes with a strong drive late in the 4th quarter, but a brilliant play causing a fumble preserved the UCF win. I believe this provides a confidence building experience for the team instead of a demoralizing one knowing they had a strong UCF team defeated. Moreover, UCF is vastly better opponent than Memphis and I fully expect Houston to add another win to their streak of 6 straight road conference covers. Take Houston

15* graded play on UCLA as they take on Oregon in PAC-12 action set to start at 3:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that UCLA will win this game and take a major step forward to playing in the PAC-12 Championship game. Oregon suffered a humiliating defeat losing to a +24 point dog in Arizona. With last week's major upsets, Oregon hopes were resurrected. However, a second loss to UCLA will all, but end any conference title hopes and playing into the 4-team National Championship playoff. UCLA played late last week after all the upsets and lost to an inspired Utah team. They too, know another loss ends title hope. They are playing at home and I strongly believe they are the better team, especially on the defensive end. The Oregon defense has been torched this season both through the air and on the ground. I don't see how they will keep UCLA from scoring at least 28 points. The following game situations match the SIM projections for this game. UCLA is 5-1 ATS the past three seasons when gaining between 300 and 350 net passing yards; 17-6 ATS the past three seasons when they have scored 28 or more points; 8-1 ATS over the past three seasons when they have gained 500 or more total offensive yards; 9-1 ATS the past three seasons when gaining more than 6.5 yards-per-play. Take UCLA. 

25* graded play on the Texas Long Horns as they take on Oklahoma in Big-12 Conference action set to start at Noon ET. It will be played on the tradition neutral field, the Cotton Bowl, in Dallas, TX.  The vision of a 50-50 crowd in Dallas and the bus ride through the Texas State Fair to get to the Cotton Bowl have helped make this one of the best rivalries. The simulator shows a high probability that Texas will lose this game by fewer than 14 points. Oklahoma is off a very tough loss last week to TCU and now must rebound quickly to play in this historic rivalry game. Texas ranks 38th in my NCAA Football ranks with a 2-3 record, but have not played close to their potential. This is the perfect opportunity for them catch a wounded and down trodden Sooner team and make it a very heated battle for four quarters. Further, the public is all over the Sooners under the presumption that they will be one angry team after last week's loss and take it all out on the Long Horns. Problem is that the Sooners are wounded both mentally and physically. Texas has also been a victim of poor field position in nearly every game. 31% of their possessions have started inside their own 20-yard line and that ranks 119th in the nation. Their opponents have only had 24% of their possession start inside the 20 and thanks as 26th least in the nation. This is  factor of many situations, but they do tend to even out over the course of the season. For example, not all punts will due inside the 20, but Texas has gone through this with several unlucky bounces pinning them in. Based on the matchups, I fully expect them to enjoy far more favorable start field position in this game. HC Charlie Strong is a perfect  9-0 ATS (+9.0 Units) in road games off 2 or more consecutive 'unders' in all games he has coached since 1992; 8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) in road games when playing against a top-level team that wins > 75% of their games in all games he has coached since 1992. Sooners are coming off hard fought games against WVU and TCU in the past two weeks. The secondary was gutted for more than 300 + passing yards in both games. I highly expect the Texas offense to go no-huddle early in this game in a solid effort to wear down an already fatigued defensive unit. Last, Texas may be 20-3 on the season, but have played far more difficult opponents as a body, then the Sooners. This too should be a dividend for the Long Horns in the Cotton Bowl Saturday. Take Texas.

15* graded play on UNLV as they take on Fresno State in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that UNLV will lose this game by fewer than 10 points. FSU sits atop the MW West Division with a 2-0 record, while UNLV has gone winless at 0-2 and is in the basement of the same Division. However, this is a game that I strongly believe UNLV will matchup well against and be able to compete fiercely for the full game. Putting a 2* extra play using the money line is an excellent wager. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 71-37 ATS for 66% winners since 1992. Play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (UNLV) that are off 2 or more consecutive 'unders' and with a poor first half defense allowing 16 or more points per game. UNLV QB Blake Decker will be playing tonight and is now listed as 'probable' in the NCAA injury report. With him under center, I have no doubt the Rebels will score at least 28 points and the SIM confirms this expectation. In past games over the last three season, UNLV is a solid 8-2 ATS for 80% winners. Further, the Rebels are a stout 16-5 ATS (+10.5 Units) in home games after allowing 31 points or more in 2 straight games since 1992. Take UNLV. 

5* graded parlay on New Mexico and the 'over' in Mountain West showdown between New Mexico State and San Diego State set to start at 9:30 PM ET.  I also like making 10* plays each on NMST and the 'OVER' as a replacement for the parlay. I fully expect NMST to win this game and are currently installed as 4 point home dogs. This opens up another wagering consideration to p;lay NMST and the 'over' each for an 8* play and then add a 5* play using NMST on the Money Line and the 'over' as a parlay. The same system outlined in the UNLV play support the play on NMST in this matchup too. Remember, that systems, trends, and game situations serve only to reinforce the graded play from the SIM. In this case it is simply coincidence that the same system applies to both of these graded SIM plays. 

10* graded play on the BYU Cougars as they take to the road to play UCF set to start at 7:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that BYU will win this game. BYU lost Hill to leg fracture in their upset loss at Utah State last week. Christian Stewart was thrown suddenly into the mix and played well for his first-ever FBS play. he had several WR open on vertical routes and simply over threw them. There are numerous reasons for not connecting on those passes and nerves arguably the top one. I strongly believe that BYU will just plug and play with Stewart under center. He does not have as much of a duel threat as Hill brought to the game, but does have the skill set to successfully move the ball against the UCF defensive unit. BYU has been a very resilient team as evident by their 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) mark after 1 or more consecutive straight up losses in games played over the last three seasons. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 75-76 mark for 50% winners, BUT has made a whopping 75 units/unit wagered averaging a +200 DOG wager. Play on a road team using the money line (BYU) after being beaten by the spread by 28 or more points total in their last three games, in the first half of the season. Take BYU.

25* graded play on the Nebraska Cornhuskers as they take on the Michigan State Spartans in BIG Ten action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Nebraska will lose this game by fewer than 7 points and has a great shot a very impressive road victory moving their season record to a perfect 6-0. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 32-9 ATS mark for 78% winners since 2003. Play on road underdogs (NEBRASKA) outrushing their opponents by 1.75 or more yards/carry on the season and after outrushing opponent by 200 or more yards last game. 59% of these plays covered the spread by 7+ points and underscores my strong belief that MSU can win this game SU. Here is a second system playing against MSU and has gone 75-34 ATS for 69% winners since 2003. Play against home favorites (MICHIGAN ST) in a game involving two mistake-free teams averaging

15* graded play on Auburn as they host the LSU Tigers in SEC action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Auburn will win this game by 10 or more points.  The Auburn ground attack is going to dominate and wear down the LSU defense. The SIM projects that Auburn will gain at least 300 rushing yards. In past games, LSU is an imperfect 0-1 ATS this season and 0-9 ATS. Further, LSU is 0-1 ATS this season, 0-3 ATS the past three seasons, and just 11-52 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 28 or more points; 1-2 ATS the past three seasons and 3-16 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 450 to 500 offensive yards. Auburn is a perfect 2-0 ATS this season, 13-0 ATS the past three seasons, and 24-5 ATS since 1992 when they have rushed for 300 or more yards; 2-1 ATS this season, 15-3 ATS the past three seasons, and 89-34 ATS since 1992 when they have scored 28 or more points. Last but not least, Malzahn is 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) when facing an excellent offensive teams averaging >=6.25 yards/play as the coach of Auburn.  

15* graded play on Northern Illinois as they take on Kent State in MAC Conference action set to start at 5:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that NI will win this game by 27+ points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 45-10 ATS mark for 82% winners since 2003. Play on home favorites of 21.5 to 31 points (N ILLINOIS) off a bye week. Of the total plays made, 56% of them covered the spread by 7+ points. The following game situations match the SIM projections for the composite stats for the game results. NI is a solid 2-0 ATS this season, 16-5 ATS the past three seasons, and 72-30 ATS since 1992 when they have scored 28 or more points; 2-0 ATS this season, 11-6 ATS the past three seasons, and 31-14 ATS since 1992 when they have gained more than 500 offensive yards. Kent State is just 0-2 ATS this season, 3-8 ATS the past three seasons, and 18-49 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 28 or more points; 0-2 ATS this season, 0-4 ATS the past three seasons, and 4-13 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 250 to 300 rushing yards. Take Northern Illinois. 

15* graded play on West Virginia as they take on Kansas in BIG-12 conference action set to start at 4:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that WVU will win this game by 30+ points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 45-10 ATS mark for 82% winners since 2003. Play on home favorites of 21.5 to 31 points (W VIRGINIA) off a bye week. The following game situations match the SIM projections for composite statistical results. Kansas is just 0-2 ATS this season, 3-12 ATS the past three seasons, and 31-102 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 28 or more points; 0-1 ATS this season, 1-7 ATS the past three seasons, and 11-49 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 9.0 or more net passing yards per attempt; 0-1 ATS this season, 1-7 ATS the past three seasons, and 16-46 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 500+ offensive yards. I see very little chance, if any, that Kansas could contain West Virginia to less than 28 points and/or less than 500 offensive yards. Take the Mountaineers. 

15* graded play on TCU as they take on Oklahoma in Big-12 Conference action set to start at 3:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that TCU will lose this game by less than 4 points and has a great shot at winning the game SU and upsetting the fourth ranked Sooners. Given this favorable upset projection, I will be making this a combination wager comprised of a 11* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 87-44 ATS mark for 67% winners since 2003. Play on any team (TCU) with a great scoring defense allowing 14 or less points/game and after 3 straight wins by 21 or more points. Here is a money line system that has gone 56-63 for just 47% winners, BUT has made a whopping 59 units/unit wagered averaging a +220 DOG play since 1992. Play on underdogs of +155 to +300 using the money line (TCU) in a game involving two good rushing teams; both outrushing opponents by 50+ YPG and after allowing 125 or less rushing yards in 3 straight games. Two very good defenses in this matchup with TCU ranking best in the nation in scoring defense. This will certainly be the most difficult test yet for TCU, but one I see ending very favorably for them. The speed and quickness, and discipline will be quite evident on the TCU defense. I also strongly believe that TCU will get QB pressure with just four pass rushers and this will allow the secondary to make plays and create turnovers. TCU is the play. 

15* graded play on Mississippi as they host Alabama in SEC action set to start at 3:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Mississippi will lose this game by fewer than 4 points and has a great shot a big time win for the program. I like making this play a combination wager using an 11* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 35-11 ATS mark for 76% winners since 1992.  Play on a home team (OLE MISS) after 2 straight wins by 17 or more points and is now facing an opponent after scoring 42 points or more in 2 straight games. of the 46 plays made based on the criteria of this system, 27 of them or 59%, have covered the spread by 7 or more points. This certainly under scores the potential for the DOG to win the game. Further, this system has gone 9-1 ATS over the past three seasons. HC Freeze is Freeze is 18-5 ATS (+12.5 Units) in games played on turf as the coach of Mississippi. Special teams may be a big factor and give that edge to Mississippi. Neither team has strong reliable special teams, but 'Bama has been horrid for a long stretch of games. Take Mississippi. 

15* graded play on the Florida Gators as they take on the Tennessee Volunteers in SEC action set to start at Noon ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Florida will win this game. I like the idea of playing this DOG as a money line play only. If the line should inflate to +3, then a combination wager using an 11* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line would be very attractive. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 47-10 ATS mark for 83% winners since 2008. Play against any team (TENNESSEE) that is a poor rushing team gaining between 3 to 3.5 YPR and is now facing a team with a good rushing defense allowing between 3 to 3.5 YPR and in conference showdowns. 50% of the total plays made covered the spread by 7 or more points.  When fine tuning this system to be used on the money line and just to play against home teams, the results are an outstanding 22-4 for 85% winners averaging a +120 DOG play. Florida is coming off the BYE week while Tennessee is gone through two very tough games losing at Oklahoma and losing at Georgia 35-32 last week. Very difficult to continue putting extreme effort into three straight games against elite SEC competition. Take the Gators. 

15* graded play on Syracuse as they take on Louisville in CFB action set to start Friday, October 3, at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Syracuse will win the game. Given this favorable projection, i will be playing this as a combination wager comprised of a 18* play using the line and a 7* play using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 32-7 ATS mark for a remarkable 82% winners since 2003. Play against any team (LOUISVILLE) with an incredible defense allowing 4.2 or less yards/play and  after allowing 150 or less total yards in their previous game. 50% of the total plays made covered the spread by 7 or more points and further under scores my strong belief that Syracuse can win this game. Further, Louisville is just  2-9 ATS (-7.9 Units) after out gaining previous opponent by 125 or more total yards in their previous game over the last 2 seasons. Orange are a solid money making 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) in home games after a game with a turnover margin of +3 or better since 1992. Syracuse lost to Notre Dame 31-15 with the Irish finding away to overcome 5 turnovers. They did very well against the Syracuse secondary, especially in play action. However, Louisville is nowhere close to having a similar offensive scheme and will struggle in the passing game against Syracuse. The SIM projects that Syracuse will score between 22 and 28 points and in past games are just 1-5 ATS when scoring within this range over the past three seasons. Take Syracuse.

10* graded play on the SMU Mustangs as they take on the East Carolina Pirates in CFB action set to start at 12:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that SMU will lose this game by fewer than 40 points. There is absolutely no reason for ECU to have any reason to run the score up. SIM shows that ECU may not even exceed the 40 point total. There are strong reasons to believe that once ECU gets this to a three score game, they will play the second and third units for the duration. This serves two purposes to give the bench players some game time and valuable experience and also to keep the starters well rested and free from injury. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 35-12 ATS mark for 75% winners since 2003. Play on a road team (SMU) with a weak and struggling offense averaging 250 or less total yards/game and after gaining 275 or less total yards in two consecutive games. Take SMU. 

25* graded play on the Oregon Ducks as they take on the Arizona Wild Cats in PAC-12 CFB action set to start at 10:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Oregon will win this game by 24+ points. Oregon is a stout  17-3 ATS (+13.7 Units) after gaining 7.25 or more yards/play in 2 consecutive games since 1992. Arizona HC Rodriguez is a near-imperfect 1-11 ATS (-11.1 Units) after gaining 525 or more total yards/game over their last 3 games in all games he has coached since 1992 and is an imperfect  0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in road games versus good offensive teams - averaging >=425 yards/game. Based on the SIM projections, Arizona must hold Oregon to less than 28 points to have a chance of just covering and I positively do not see that having even a remote chance of happening in this matchup. Arizona is just 3-13 ATS the past three seasons and 20-84 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 28 or more points. They are also just 1-6 ATS the past three seasons and 7-22 ATS since 1992 when they have allowed 200 to 250 rushing yards in a game.  Oregon is 4-0 ATS the past three seasons and 33-7 ATS since 1992 when they have gained 200 to 250 rushing yards. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 45-9 ATS mark for 83% winners since 2003. Play on home favorites of 21.5 to 31 points (OREGON) off a bye week. 57% of these plays covered the spread by 7+ points. Here is a second system that has gone 30-4 ATS for 88% winners since 2003. Play on home favorites of 21.5 to 31 points (OREGON) with an elite offense averaging 6.4 or more yards/play and after gaining 6.75 or more yards/play in 2 consecutive games. 60% of the plays made based on this system covered the spread by 7 or more points. Take Oregon.

10* graded play on Syracuse as they host Notre Dame set to start at 8:00 PM ET at the Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. The simulator shows a high probability that Syracuse will lose this game by fewer than 8 points. I like making this a combination wager using an 8* play on the line and a 2* play using the money line. Syracuse is a solid  11-2 ATS (+8.8 Units) after out gaining opponents by 175 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games since 1992. This is a game that the Irish could easily take for granted and have more focus on the huge showdown next week hosting Stanford. In fact, the look ahead factor includes Stanford, then UNC, and then at Florida State. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 25-13 record for 66% winners using the Money Line and has made 35 units/unit wagered since 1992. It has averaged an impressive 191 DOG play. Play on underdogs of +155 to +300 using the money line (SYRACUSE) that has an excellent rushing defense allowing 2.75 or less rushing yards-per-carry and after outrushing opponent by 200 or more yards last game. Further, this system has not had a losing record in any year over the past 20 seasons. Take Syracuse.

10* graded play on the Missouri as they take on South Carolina in SEC action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Missouri will lose this game by fewer than 5 points and has a great shot at upsetting the 13th ranked Gamecocks. YOu may remember my 25* graded winner on the Indiana, who upended Missouri last week as 14 1/2 point dogs. That is the type of home loss that can refocus a team and have them fully prepared for a 'redemption' type of game. In hindsight, I also believe Missouri was looking ahead to this showdown and mistakenly presumed the Hoosier game was a win before it even started. I did look at the MASH unit now forming on the Tigers roster. McNulty is listed atop the depth chart at left guard after fifth-year senior Anthony Gatti tore his right ACL last weekend. Connor McGovern will move back to right guard after starting at the position in all 14 games last season. Taylor Chappell is expected to earn his first career start at right tackle in place of McGovern. Although, OL need playing experience and chemistry to perform well, this style of quick paced offense can offset the uncertainty along the OL. These players were all elite players in high school and can plug-and-play in these situations. The majority of Missouri pass plays involve very simple fundamental pass blocking and South Carolina does not present an intimidating defensive scheme that will cause this new modified OL unit any difficulty in pass protection. Recently, the Tigers have prepared for strong passing attacks and are riding a perfect 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) when facing good passing teams averaging 250 or more passing yards/game. over the last 2 seasons. I also believe that there is a near zero chance that SC can contain Missouri to less than 28 points. In past games, Missouri is a solid 15-4 ATS over the past three seasons when scoring 28 points over the past three seasons. Take the Tigers.  

25* graded play on Florida State as they take on North Carolina State in ACC Conference action set to start at 3:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that FSU will win this game by 21 or more points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 27-6 ATS mark for 82% winners since 2008.  Play against home underdogs (NC STATE) with a good offense averaging 400 or more total yards/game and after out gaining opponent by 225 or more total yards in their previous game. This system has gone 19-3 ATS over the past three seasons for 86.4% winners. The Wolfpack (4-0) are looking for their best start since Philip Rivers was under center. They haven't been 5-0 since opening 9-0 in 2002 en route to finishing 11-3. N.C. State's 502.0 yards of offense per game top the conference, led by Jacoby Brissett's ACC-leading 166.7 passer rating. The Florida transfer has 10 TD passes with one interception and was 14 of 21 for 195 yards and three scores in last Saturday's 42-0 win over Presbyterian - the Wolfpack's first shutout since 2011. Brissett also found the end zone on one of his five carries. HOWEVER, all of these great stats were achieved against one of the weakest schedules in the conference. FSU's opponents have produced nearly three times the strength to that which NC State has faced. Making matters worse is last week's opponent was a 'scrimmage' against Presbyterian. Having yo now step up to face an undefeated reigning National Champion is a nearly impossible task. Granted FSU did play the Citadel, but have faced a very good Oklahoma State and Clemson squad. By comparison, NC State has gone 4-0 against Georgia Southern, ODU, South Florida, Presbyterian. Simply, no program can ever simulate the speed of a top-ranked team like FSU and that will show on both sides of the ball. The following game situations match the SIM projections. FSU is 7-0 ATS the past three seasons when they have allowed 3.0 to 3.5 rushing yards per carry; 13-3 ATS over the past three seasons when they have gained 500+ offensive yards; 15-4 ATS over the past three seasons when they have out gained their opponent by 200+ offensive yards. I believe we will see the complete and best version of the FSU team this afternoon. 

10* graded play on Indiana as they take on Maryland in Big Ten action set to start at 1:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Indiana will win this game by 6+ points. As mentioned Indiana was another 25* Titan that was a double digit dog that won outright. There will be absolutely no letdown following that huge win in Missouri last week with confidence so high right now. This is the conference opener for both teams and both are in the Big Ten East Division, which features no. 9 ranked Michigan State and No. 22 Ohio State. Indiana could very well be the dark horse in the East to make a run at MSU, who they play October 18 at home. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 28-7 ATS mark for 80% winners since 1992.  Play on home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points (INDIANA) off an upset win as an underdog against an opponent off a road win. 67% of these plays covered the spread by 7+ points. Further, Head Coach Edsall is a horrid 1-9 ATS (-8.9 Units) after allowing 475 or more total yards in their previous game as the coach of Maryland. For those, who like making money line plays this system will support your play. It has produced a 28-5 mark for 85% winners since 2003. Play on a home team using the money line (INDIANA) after gaining 225 or more rushing yards in 2 straight games and is now facing an opponent after being outrushed by 125 or more yards last game. Take Indiana. 

25* graded play on New Mexico as they take on Fresno State in CFB action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that New Mexico will lose this game by fewer than 5 points and has a great opportunity at winning this game SU. Given this favorable projection consider making this a combination wager consisting of a 20* play with the points and a 5* play using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 30-7 ATS mark for 81.1% winners since 2008. This system is 20-3 ATS over the past three seasons and 57% of the plays made have covered the spread by 7+ points. Play against any team (FRESNO ST) that is a struggling team being outscored by opponents by 10 or more points/game and after 2 straight games where 70 total points or more were scored. Fine tuning this to include playing against road teams has produced a 16-1 ATS mark for 94% winners over the past three seasons. New Mexico head coach Davie is a solid 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) after outrushing opponent by 200 or more yards last game in all games he has coached since 1992. New Mexico runs the ball and then they run it more ranking third in the nation at 350 yards-per-game. The Lobos run the pistol and the option offensive scheme that is going to present some massive challenges for a Fresno State defensive unit that has been ripped apart in each game this season. Last year FSU was a 34 1/2 point favorite and defeated New Mexico 69-28 in what was a humiliating loss. Fans at that game made it a point to humiliate the entire New Mexico team as they walked together to the visitor's locker room outside of the stadium complex.  So, there is a 'pride' factor involved in this game and it is home coming too where 22K fans are expected to be in attendance. Gone from the Fresno State roster are quarterback Derek Carr and wide receiver Davante Adams, the two players who did the most damage in last year’s rout. The 2014 Bulldogs have gotten extremely inconsistent play at quarterback from junior Brian Burrell and Duke transfer Brandon Connette amd I strongly believe they will struggle against the Lobos defensive scheme tonight. Take New Mexico.

Briefly, I have changed the balancing of the gradings in order to maximize profits over the entire season. With that said, the 10* plays are now 15* plays and 25* plays remain the same. The key to my 21 years of success has been to be highly disciplined wagering the same amount per * unit play on every graded play.  15* graded play on the Miami Hurricanes as they take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in CFB action set to start at  The simulator shows a high probability that Miami will lose this game by fewer than 8 points and has a great opportunity earn an excellent and very meaningful road win.

15* graded play on the Indiana Hoosiers as they take on the Missouri Tigers in CFB action set to start at 4:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Indiana will lose this game by fewer than 10 points and has a shot at earning a big time upset win. Given this favorable projection, I will encourage you to play this as a combination wager consisting of a 11* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line. I see this as a possible letdown situation for the Tigers. History shows that HC Pinkel is just 3-11 ATS (-9.1 Units) in home games after scoring 31 points or more in 3 straight games as the coach of the Tigers. Key factor is that Hoosiers returns 8 starters including the QB on offense. Further, they return, 9 on defense. Overall , this type of experience and chemistry,especially along the OL, is a major advantage for any DOG looking to earn the upset win. Adding to this advantage is the fact that Missouri returns just 4 starters each on offense and defense. Take Indiana.

15* graded play on the SMU Mustangs as they take on the Texas A&M Aggies in CFB action set to start at 3:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that SMU will lose this game by fewer than 34 points. This is simply too many points and my complete body of research shows to be more of a 24 points type game. Note that A&M is  0-9 ATS (-9.9 Units) in road games after gaining 450 or more total yards in 3 consecutive games since 1992. In this matchup, that they undoubtedly believe is won before it is even played, their is a high likelihood that focus will not be at it's best. SMU is on a nice perfect 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) in home games off a road loss over the last 3 seasons. SMU has played far tougher opponents at Baylor and North Texas, then the resume that A&M played that only includes South Carolina (a JRS Upset Titan alert winner) as a viable opponent. The other two were Rice and Lamar. So, I do believe that SMU can compete well and keep this game to a 3 TD margin. Take the points. 

25* graded play on the Florida Gators as they take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in SEC action set to start at 3:30 PM EWT.  The simulator shows a high probability that Florida will lose this game by fewer than 14 points. I also like adding a 2* play using the money line as I do believe that if Florida executes near perfection, they can win this game. Yet, don't think they need perfection to cover this generous spread. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 70-23 ATS mark for 75% winners since 2002. Play against home favorites (ALABAMA) in a game involving two mistake-free teams posting a

10* graded play on Colorado as they host Arizona State in CFB action set to start at 10:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Colorado will lose this game by fewer than 13 points. ASU is coming off a big win, at least on the scoreboard, to New Mexico. They are 2-0 on the season, but have yet to play any formidable opponent. Based on my opponent PR ratings, ASU has one of the weakest first two games in the nation. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 146-71 ATS mark for 67.2% winners since 1992. Play on home underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points (COLORADO) in conference games and with 8 or more offensive starters including the QB returning. Here is one of the best CFB systems I have in the database and has gone 24-10 for 71% winners making 38 units/unit wagered since 1992. It has averaged a +200 DOG line and is truly what makes this system one that you can tack on your own to make even more money for seasons to come. Play against a road team using the money line (ARIZONA ST) that is a good team from last season (60% to 80% in percentage) playing a team who had a losing record last year and with 4 or fewer defensive starters returning and with the current game taking place in the first month of the season. I suggest playing this 10* Titan in the same combination as outlined for the UTSA game above. Take the Colorado Buffalos. 

10* graded play on Texas - San Antonio as they take on Oklahoma State in CFB action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that UTSA will lose this game by fewer than 13 points. I have played UTSA in their previous 2 games with great success as they upset Houston 27-7 as an 8 point dog and then easily covered in Week2 against Arizona as a 7 1/2 point dog. This will certainly be their stiffest test, but they have played against solid opponents in the first two weeks. They are a very good and vastly under rated team with excellent coaching. I am most impressed with the balanced offensive attack and I fully expect that unit to do very well tonight. The SIm confirms this belief showing that UTSA will gain between 150 to 200 rushing yards and between 350 and 400 total yards. In these situations, they have posted a perfect 6-0 ATS mark. I also like making this a combination wager using an 8* amount on the line and a 2.5* amount using the money line for a total risk of 10.5* units. Take Texas-San Antonio.

10* graded play on Army as they take on Stanford in CFB action set to start at 5:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Army will lose this game by fewer than 25 points. Stanford is coming off a very disappointing loss to USC last week having blown 7 red zone scoring opportunities. I had USC as my PAC-12 Game of the Year and feel quite fortunate to come away with that victory. I fully expect the Cardinal to be completely flat against an inferior foe in Army. That type of loss last week is worse than one losing in OT and it sticks with a team for a long while. Army has the ground attack and offensive that can easily shorten this game and make it far more competitive then the 28 point line currently shown at majority of books. What I also like too is that Army returns 9 starters on offense including the QB and that experience will serve them very well in this matchup. Cardinal just 1-9 ATS (-8.9 Units) off an upset loss to a conference rival as a home favorite since 1992;  7-20 ATS (-15.0 Units) off an upset loss as a favorite since 1992; 4-14 ATS (-11.4 Units) after a playing a game where 29 total points or less were scored since 1992. Take Army.

25* graded play on East Carolina as they take on V-Tech in CFB action set to start at Noon ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that East Carolina will lose this game by fewer than 10 points and has a solid shot at upsetting the Hokies. Given this favorable projection, I recommend making this a combination wager using a 20* play on the line and a 5* play using the money line. I do see this game as a letdown situation for the Hokies, who are coming off one of their best upset victories in years last week. ECU is a solid 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) in games played on a grass field over the last 2 seasons;  7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) after 1 or more consecutive straight up losses over the last 3 seasons; 19-8 ATS (+10.2 Units) in road games off a road loss since 1992. Supporting this Titan release is a system that has gone 50-17 for 75% winners and has made 46 units/unit wagered since 2008. Play on a  road team vs. the money line (E CAROLINA) that is an excellent offensive team (>=440 YPG) and now facing a good offensive team gaining between 390 to 440 YPG and after gaining 6.75 or more yards/play in their previous game. The Pirates put forth a respectable effort in their 33-23 loss to South Carolina, as they had a 453-441 yardage edge. QB Shane Carden was 32-of-46 for 321 yards, but had a couple of costly interceptions. I see huge matchup advantages for Carden to exploit on the perimeter getting the ball out quickly with three step drops and with the receivers getting the ball in space to make plays. The dominant key to this game is that I fully expect ECU to have a massive yards after the catch advantage leading them to a chance to win in the fourth quarter. Take the Pirates. 

10* graded play on Buffalo as they host Baylor in CFB action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Buffalo will lose this game by fewer than 32 points. This is simply just too many points and I live Buffalo to cover this generous number tonight. Baylor knows they are a much better team and can easily win this game. It is also a short week in preparation and the Bears are coming off two dominating performances in their new stadium outscoring their opponents a combined 115-6. However, the Bears have some significant injuries and 'aches' within their starting units. QB Petty has been upgraded to probable, but that certainly does not imply he will play all four quarters. Same can be said of WR Goodley nursing a leg injury. There are four WR and 1 backup RB that will not see action tonight. The last thing the 8th ranked team needs is to have more injuries in a game that can be won with their second units. That is what I fully expect tonight and the second and third units of Baylor will at least give Buffalo a chance to move the ball, score points, and be more competitive. Baylor WR KD Cannon will be playing and he is coming off the second best WR yardage total in school history and did not even play the second half. He scored three TD on 50, 81. and 42 yards in the first quarter. Given his elite speed, you can bet that Buffalo will bracket him in a base cover-2 preventing him from getting behind the safeties. This scheme at least contains quick scores for the most part. Again, he is a starter that has burst on the national stage at the age of just 18 years. So, with the strong belief that Baylor will rest many of their starters once a significant lead is attained gives Buffalo a solid shot at staying with the generous number. Take Buffalo. 

10* graded play on Houston as they take on BYU in CFB action set to start at 9:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Houston will lose this game by fewer than 17 points. BYU is off to an impressive 2-0 start and have covered both contests very easily. Houston has gone 1-1, but failed to cover in either game. This is going to be a much better test for BYU than their previous two opponents. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 32-9 ATS mark for 78% winners since 2003. Play against home favorites (BYU) after allowing 17 points or less in 2 straight games and is now facing an opponent after leading in their previous game by 24 or more points at the half. 59% of these games covered the spread by 7+ points and this under scores by strong belief that this will be a single digit game. BYU has had two impressive road wins, BUT they are just 7-26 ATS (-21.6 Units) after a 2 game road trip since 1992 and 2-11 ATS (-10.1 Units) off 2 consecutive road wins since 1992. Houston was dominated by Texas - San Antonio in Week1 (a big win as a Top rated Titan release), but don't under estimate the fact they return 8 starters on offense and the quarterback and also return 9 defensive starters. No doubt BYU will look to run the ball and I expect 50 rushing attempts in this game. Houston will be prepared for this scheme and will be able to contain it. I like Houston being able to establish their ground game just enough so play action pass will be very effective. Take Houston.

25* graded play on the Southern California Trojans as they take on Stanford in a huge Pac-12 matchup and one that will have major conference ramifications. Stanford has the nation's longest home winning streak at 18 games. All streaks do end, and I completely believe SC will dominate this game from start to finish.  The simulator shows a high probability that SC will win this game. With the line at +3, the ML does not afford an solid investment option. Should the line go to 3 1/2, which is not expected, the ML would then be more attractive. However, I will simply play this as a 25* graded amount using the line only. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 55-23 ATS mark for 71% winners since 2003. Play against a home team (STANFORD that was a poor passing defense from last season allowing a completion percentage of 58% or worse and with 5 offensive starters returning and with the current game taking place in the first month of the season. 36 of the 55 winning plays covered the spread by 7 or more points.  The following game situations match the projections produced by the SIM. SC is a solid 22-8 against the money line (+16.3 Units) in road games when they gain 200 to 250 net passing yards since 1992; 17-5 against the money line (+10.8 Units) when they gain 7.5 to 8 net passing yards/attempt since 1992; 15-5 against the money line (+10.1 Units) when they rush for 2.5 to 3 yards per attempt since 1992; 42-10 against the money line (+29.9 Units) when they score 22 to 28 points since 1992. No doubt, the SC offense will put a lot of pressure on the Stanford defense, especially in the backend. Another matchup I see as a HUGE advantage for SC is DE Leonard Williams against Stanford LT Andrus Peat. Williams is huge, fast, and very quick for his size at 6-5 300 lbs. Peat is 6-7 and 312 lbs and has excellent technique and will certainly be playing on Sundays in the NFL. Yet, Williams has better technique and can gain leverage with his strong legs and get under Peat to move him laterally. This will be a matchup I will be watching very closely and one that I see Williams winning. Take USC. 

10* graded play on Tulsa as they host Oklahoma in CFB action set to start at Noon ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Tulsa will lose this game by fewer than 24 points. This is just too many points. Tulsa returns 10 starters on defense featuring SS Mudoch, who had 133 tackles last season and DE Alexander, who had 6.5 sacks last season. I strongly believe this unit will be up to the challenge that the Sooners offense will bring to the game. Sooners are re-tolling on offense with just 5 starters returning. Sooners are just 20-35 ATS (-18.5 Units) in road games after allowing 100 or less rushing yards last game since 1992. Oklahoma has been doing some talking this week in the media outlets clearly stating that they believe they have the best front seven in the nation. Perhaps they do, BUT they will be facing a vastly under rated QB in Dane Evans, who has a very quick 'Peyton Manning' release. Oklahoma looks to stop the run first and then get pressure on the QB. Yet, in this matchup, there won't be time for them to get on the QB and Evans is extremely accurate getting balls to receivers in space. Evans sees the field very well and his quick release will frustrate the Sooner pass rushers. Take Tulsa.

10* graded play on the Iowa State as they host Kansas State in CFB action set to start at 12:00 Noon ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Iowa State will lose this game by fewer than 12 points. If you can get a Money Line for this game, then add a 1.5* amount to the 10* unit line play. I have already nailed Texas A&M and Texas- San Antonio in their respective huge upset wins in Week 1. So, don't be surprised if Iowa State pulls of the same result today. ISU returns 10 starters including the QB on offense and this is a big time advantage for them facing a defensive unit that returns just 5 starters. Team chemistry, especially along an OL, is very critical in the first four weeks of the CFB season. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 40-12 ATS mark for 77% winners since 1992. Play on home underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points (IOWA ST) after being outgained by 225 or more total yards in their previous game and with 8 or more offensive starters including the QB returning. Of the plays made 51% of them covered the spread by 7 or more points. So, look for ISU to make this a very close game throughout and a strong opportunity to win the game in the 4th quarter. Take Iowa State.

10* graded play on Texas-San Antonio as they host Arizona in College Football action set to start at 8:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that UTSA will lose this game by fewer than 7 points and has a great shot at upsetting a major PAC-12 foe. Given this favorable projection, I suggest making this a combination wager using an 8* amount on the line and a 2.5* play using the money line for a total of 10.5* worth of risk. This combination maximizes the risk/reward profile produced by the SIM projections. I had UTSA last week in their huge 27-7 win at Houston where they were installed as 8 point dogs. That was certainly no fluke as my research report showed and I expect another great effort by this team Thursday night. The defense held Houston to just 26 yards rushing on 23 carries and forced 6 turnovers. They are a dominant run offensive scheme and that wore down the Houston defensive front very quickly. I fully expect that pounding type of game to have the same impact on the ARZ defense. The SIM shows that UTSA will rush for at least 150 yards. In past games where they have rushed for 150 to 200 rushing yards they are a perfect 7-0 ATS over the past three seasons. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 30-6 ATS mark for 83.3% winners since 2003. Play on home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points (UTSA) and is a team that had a winning record last season and now facing a non-conference foe. Take UTSA. 

10* graded play on the Miami Hurricanes as they take on the Louisville Cardinal in CFB action set to start at 8:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Miami will lose this game by fewer than three points and has a great shot at winning the game. Given the DOG projections, I suggest playing this Titan release as a combination wager consisting of a 7* play using the line and a 3.5* amount using the Money Line for a total risk of 10.5* units. The money line is at +150 and a 3.5* wager would return 4.5 units in profits, which combined with the 7* line win adds an additional 15% in total profits earned for the play. Although, this does not seem that significant on the surface, over the course of the season it will certainly add up to a very significant result. Just this past week I had Texas A&M in a monster upset of South Carolina and Texas-San Antonio in another big time upset win with both returning very nice additions by adding the Money Line combination wager to the play. The following game situations match the SIM projections for this game. Miami is a solid money making  23-10 against the money line (+14.8 Units) in road games when they gain 200 to 250 net passing yards since 1992; 20-10 against the money line (+10.6 Units) when they rush for 3.5 to 4 yards per attempt since 1992; Louisville is just  8-10 against the money line (-18.6 Units) when they allow 7.5 to 8 net passing yards/attempt since 1992; 9-9 against the money line (-27.8 Units) when they gain 350 to 400 net passing yards since 1992. The point is that the records may not produce high percentage results, but you and I must always being looking at units won/lost for meaningful insight to game situations. The Hurricanes will dominate the LOS with a pounding ground attack led by Duke Johnson, who you may remember was the starting back in 2013 and had the Hurricanes off to a 7-0 start before season ending injury sidelined him. He had well over 900 rushing yards in 6 games at that point. This ground attack is eactly what any team needs when starting a true freshman and the Hurricanes have a great one under center in Brad Kaaya. Take the Hurricanes.

10* graded play on Massachusetts as they take on Boston College in NCAAF action set to start at 3:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that BC will lose this game by fewer than 15 points. BC lost it's three best offensive players from last year's 7-6 bowl season. In fact they return just 3 starters offense and no player had more than 15 catches last season. They have ahd several key additions through transfers, but team chemistry, especially on the offensive line is a critical factor in the first four weeks of the season. Further, BC returns 6 starters on defense, so here again, execution will be inconsistent during games in the early part of the season. UMASS had a horrid season and certainly will look to turn things around. One of the most important decision made was to go to a 3-4 defensive alignment. Given their personnel, this is the right decision and will pay off big for them during the season. This alignment will also let their stud LB Andrey, who had 111 tackles last season, to be an even greater disruptive force. Take UMASS.

10* graded play on Texas San Antonio as they take on Houston in CFB action set to start at 9:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that TSA will lose this game by fewer than 10 points. This game mirrors my winning play last night with Texas A&M and like the A&M wager I encourage you to add no greater than 1.5* amount using the money line to the 10* wage amount on the line. UTSA's entire O-Line returns to its run-oriented offense propelled by RB David Glasco II (496 rush yds, 5.2 YPC, 5 TD). WR Kam Jones (345 rec yds, 302 rush yds, 6 total TD) is the No. 1 wideout for new QB Tucker Carter (190 pass yds, 1 TD, 2 INT), who replaces Eric Soza. The Roadrunners' 4-2-5 defense is strong throughout with DE Robert Singletary (5 sacks), LB Drew Douglas (70 tackles), S Triston Wade (94 tackles) and CB Bennett Okotcha (10 PD). Of the units, TSA returns 10 starters each on offense and defense. This playing experience is a significant factor in matchups during the first four weeks of the season. The Sim projects that TSA will gain between 150 to 200 rushing yards and 350 to 400 total offensive yards. In past games, TSA is a perfect 6-0 ATS over the past three season in each situation mentioned. Take Texas-San Antonio.

10* graded play on the Texas A&M Aggies as they take on the South Carolina Gamecocks in inter-conference action set to start at 6:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that A&M will lose this game by fewer than 10 points. If you have access to a money line I would recommend no more than a 1.5* amount to exploit the potential big time upset. Both teams return 14 starts combined and both have lost key play makers from last year's season. South Carolina returns eight starters on offense, but has a new quarterback under center. Their offense will be featuring scat back Mike Davis, who emerged last season as fantastic playmaker. However, the A&M defense returns 9 starters from last year's unit and will be vastly better this season. They have the experience and discipline not to get caught out of position with poor angles of attack in containing Davis. Forcing Thompson to win the game with his arm is the recipe for A&M to make this a single digit game throughout. Of note too is that Davis is listed as probable for tonight's game. He is enduring a rib injury and that is one that is quite painful on any type of hit at this level of football. SIM projects that A&M will score 28 points. In past games where the Gamecocks have allowed 28 points, they are a money burning 0-5 ATS over the past three seasons and 18-62 ATS since 1992. When they allow 31 to 41 points, they are an even worse 0-2 ATS over the past three seasons and 4-17 ATS since 1992. Take the Aggies.
