09-30-17 | Oklahoma State -9.5 v. Texas Tech | 41-34 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 3 m | Show | |
A DMack Power Pack winner is on Oklahoma State Okie State must scramble now to get back into contention in the Big 12 after getting handled rather easily by TCU. Okie State has won eight straight in the series and also on a 9-3 L12 ATS run. Tech getting lots of love at the window this week as the Raiders can play a little defense this year but in the end, it's just Rudolph having another monster day with all his weapons. |

09-30-17 | Costal Carolina v. UL-Monroe -10.5 | 43-51 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 32 m | Show | |
A DMack Power Pack winner is on UL Monroe Monroe almost let one get away last week in their rivalry game with Lafayette last week, giving up a 21-yard TD pass on the final play that forced OT. Monroe just 5-11 L16 as home chalk but don't mind laying wood here against the still not ready for prime time Chaticleer who punked 52-10 by FCS Western Illinois in last. |

09-30-17 | Iowa +4 v. Michigan State | 10-17 | Loss | -102 | 14 h 58 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK SATURDAY NCAAF UPSET SPECIAL is on the Iowa Hawkeyes Despite getting outgained by 300 yards, Iowa was still in a position to beat Penn State until the final whistle. Ferentz will have his team right back on its horse and ready to play here. Mich State dug itself an impossible whole by turning the ball over early against Notre Dame and then having no way back. You might remember that the last time these two met was in the 2015 Big Ten Championship game where Sparty scored in the final 27 seconds to get the win. Hawkeye ground and pound the story here as Iowa gets the win in wire-to-wire fashion. |

09-30-17 | Connecticut v. SMU -17.5 | 28-49 | Win | 100 | 83 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the SMU Mustangs The Mustangs did some nice things in their 3-1 non-conference play. The lone loss was to TCU and the Stangs scored 36 points and were competitive throughout against the Horned Frogs. Stangz are No.5 in the nation in scoring offense at 48 ppg. and face a UConn outfit that has allowed 1680 yards of offense in just three games, one of which was against Holy Cross. The Huskies are also on a short week having played a rare Sunday game last week, a home loss to lowly East Carolina. UConn also on a 9-18-1 run getting points. Randy Edsall has to be wondering what he got himself back into and faces a team that averages 174 ypg. more than their opponents. SMU 51-19. |
|||||||
09-30-17 | Navy -6 v. Tulsa | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 81 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack's "RUN IT UP" Play is on the Navy Midshipmen Just a complete stylistic mismatch here. Both teams run the football, but one can stop the run and the other can't. Navy is just off a 569-yard rushing performance against Cincinnati and figure to do a lot of business against a Tulsa team that allows and an average of 295 ypg. on the ground and is just off a game where it allowed 338 to an option team (New Mexico) who doesn't do it anywhere near as well as the Middies. Navy by 20. |
|||||||
09-30-17 | UTEP v. Army -22 | 21-35 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack Bonus Play for Subscriptions is on the Army Cadets Last year, the Cadets emotionally charged after losing a teammate in a car accident during the week, dropped 66 points on UTEP on their home field of the Sun Bowl. Army running for 366 per while the Miners average 62 per and don't throw the ball well. Laying double-digits with Army has been suicide in the past but not here against a train wreck with the wheels come off. |

09-30-17 | Vanderbilt +9 v. Florida | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
A DMack Power Pack winner is on Vanderbilt Commodores Vandy had given up just 13 points in three games before getting spanked by a disrespected Bama team last week. The Florida name must still have equity as the officials gave them the game last week at Kentucky. The last two years, this game ended Florida 9-7 and 13-9. Lock for another defensive slobberknocker here today. |
|||||||
09-30-17 | Maryland v. Minnesota -13 | 31-24 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
A DMack Power Pack winner is on the Minnesota Gophers Say what you want about Fleck and his "Row the Boat" stuff. The guy can coach and has the Gophers unbeaten and ready for Big Ten play which starts against a Terp squad down to their third quarterback and a team nowhere near what went down to Texas and won in early September. Minnesota 31-10. |
|||||||
09-30-17 | South Florida v. East Carolina OVER 73.5 | 61-31 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack Week V NCAAF Super Total is USF and East Carolina Over With East Carolina No. 124 against the run, No.129 against the pass, and No.130 overall ... it's hard to see how SFU doesn't drop 50-60 on the Pirates in very short order. East Carolina has been moving the ball and scoring in albeit the wrong end of blowouts. If the Bulls get 50+ and they will, not much heavy lifting for the Pirates. |
|||||||
09-29-17 | Miami-FL v. Duke +7 | 31-6 | Loss | -115 | 60 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Duke Blue Devils Duke has been our star performer in 2017 as we've used them multiple times and have always gotten the money. Great spot for the Dukies here as they are 5-1 L6 as a home dog and getting a full touchdown to a team that has beaten them 11 of 12. The Devil upperclassmen have to remember the game here two years ago when Miami was gifted a kickoff return win on the final play of the game (two knees touch + two forward laterals same play), a play that set the Duke program back two years and a loss that they are just recovering from now. This is Miami's first road game of the year and Duke can definitely throw the ball around and test a secondary that gave up 344 at home to Toledo last week. Duke straight up. |
|||||||
09-28-17 | Texas v. Iowa State +5 | 17-7 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Texas/Iowa State Big 12 Super Play is on the Iowa State Cyclones I really like the job that Campbell is doing with the Cyclones. ISU was very unlucky in rivalry loss to Iowa and dominated Northern Iowa and Akron in other games. Texas is off an OT loss to Southern Cal and a bye but on the road here with a defense that allowed slightly less than 1000 yards in losses to Maryland and the Trojans. Herman still has work today and faces a team that won't be intimidated after blanking the Horns 24-0 the last time they visited, is 5-1 as a home dog under this coach. Just read where Herman was 0-7 as road chalk at Houston when not off a win of greater than 29 points which certainly is not the case here. Iowa State 34-27. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Oregon -14 v. Arizona State | 35-37 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 3 m | Show | |
Mack Attack NCAAF Graveyard Money Maker is on the Oregon Ducks Willie Taggert has the Quack Attack flying high. The Ducks have a lot of weapons and generally get out of the box fast. That said, they've suffered a couple of second-half vapor locks where they've assumed games are over and have allowed bettors to get bit in the ass. Not here. Look for Taggert to have this team fine-tuned entering conference play and they have the perfect team to unload on. The Ducks are on an 8-1-1 series ATS run against the Sun Devils. Add to the mix Duck 7-1 ATS run prior to B2B home games and Taggert's 25-7 road ATS mark in his prior coach assignments and will have ourselves a good old fashion butt kicking. Oregon 55-20. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Notre Dame v. Michigan State +5 | 38-18 | Loss | -106 | 105 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday College Football Dog Bite in on the Michigan State Spartans A great spot for Michigan State here who catch the Irish off a bye while Notre Dame is in the second of B2B roadies. Sparty close to its old self as the defense is allowing just a tick better than three yards per carry. Wimbush and Adams had big days against a collapsing Boston College team but find the going much tougher here. Irish led just 14-13 midway through the third before BC turnovers led to four straight Notre Dame scores so misleading 49-20 final. Mich State 4-0 L4 as a home dog and still beat Notre Dame last year in that forgettable season. The home team is 8-0 in Michigan State's L8 games and that run figures to continue here. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | San Diego State -3 v. Air Force | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 88 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack will be on San Diego State The Aztecs haven't missed a beat and this edition might just be better than last year's team. Penny has taken over seemlessly from Pumphrey and on his way to 1500+ yards behind big physical landmoving offensive line. Letdown off Stanford win ... this is MWC opener, no. Falcon option ??? SDSU 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS L5 meetings. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Oklahoma -26 v. Baylor | 49-41 | Loss | -110 | 138 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Oklahoma Sooners Baylor started a new quarterback and eight other players last week at Duke, took a ton of late money and saw the like on Duke go down for -14 at kickoff. Duke won by 14. Did Baylor play well ... No! Duke was bored and disinterested and played like it. The new Baylor QB completed less than 50% of his passes but three of the completions (two of 70+) were for touchdowns of 57+ yards. The Sooners were expectedly flat off their Ohio State win against Tulane but shook the haze to win the second half 28-0 in a 56-14 win. The Sooners are on a mission and feisty QB Baker Mayfield is going to do all he can to make it happen. Sooner reserves are ruthless as well. Oklahoma 56-7. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | UL-Monroe +6.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 56-50 | Win | 100 | 86 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack will be on the ULM Warhawks The visitor in this rivalry series is a bodacious 17-2-1 ATS over the L20 meetings. Neither team plays much defense but Monroe still allowing 20 less ppg than the hosts. The largest margin of victory on this field over the last nine meetings is just six points. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Michigan v. Purdue +10 | 28-10 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack's Power Pack is on the Purdue Boilermakers Brohm appears to be worth every penny of his $4 million a year as the suddenly ultra-competitive Boilers are 3-0 ATS. Michigan has the worst QB in Power five football and the Wolverines have just one touchdown in 20 trips to the red zone. Grab the points. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Duke -2.5 v. North Carolina | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 84 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack will be on the Duke Blue Devils North Carolina can't play defense and their dominating win over ODU meant nothing. Duke took the week off last week vs. Baylor but will be razor sharp in this rivalry clash. We're backing a coach that is 35-18 ATS in his L53. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | New Mexico v. Tulsa OVER 67.5 | 16-13 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Total of the Week is on New Mexico/Tulsa Over Offensively against their own kind, Tulsa is a monster. The Golden Hurricane is averaging 548 ypg. with an amazing 383 per of it coming on the ground. The Canes just dropped 66 on Lafayette and 51 on a pretty good Toledo team. On the other side, Tulsa is dead last, No.130 in total defense allowing 59-42-54 points in three games. Opponents are averaging 618 ypg. New Mexico falls somewhere in the middle on both sides of the ball. The option hasn't been producing like it has been in the past but even with their third string QB (who by the was is an Arizona State transfer familiar with The Pistol), the Lobos almost cant seem to help themselves from getting 500 yards and 30 points. This one finishes closer to 90 than 70. Play the Over. |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Texas Tech +7 v. Houston | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 80 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack will be on Texas Tech Don't mind grabbing a full touchdown with Kingsbury and the Red Raiders with his butt on the hot seat and a team that finally can play some defense after five years. Tech a sweet 7-2 L9 as a road dog while Houston (still transitioning under Major Applewhite) just 3-10-1 of late as a home favorite. |
|||||||
09-22-17 | Utah -4 v. Arizona | 30-24 | Win | 100 | 118 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday NCAAF Feeding Frenzy is on the Utah Utes We jumped the gun on this one locking in four early thinking the number would "fly" to six or more closer to game time. Instead, money has come in on Arizona and 3 and 3.5's are readily available. GRAB A THREE IF YOU STILL CAN. Zona's big win over a horrific UTEP team meant absolutely nothing as RichRod is in job preservation mode. Forget past historical series numbers, big physical Utah will do whatever it wants to Cat suspect defense. Ute defense is staunch, to say the least, and Whittingham's are on a current 13-5 road ATS run while Zona is on a current 8-19 ATS run, 5-13 vs. Pac 12 opponents. Utah 38-16. |
|||||||
09-21-17 | Temple v. South Florida -20.5 | 7-43 | Win | 100 | 56 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night College Football Super Play is on the South Florida Bulls This year's edition of Temple is a far cry from the Matt Rhule teams of the last couple of years. Forget the Owl life and death wins over UMass and Villanova, in their only game vs. a team with a pulse (Notre Dame), the Temple defense allowed 422 yards rushing to the Irish. After sleepwalking through a couple of games, USF rolled a decent Illinois team ending the night with 376 yards on the ground and three different 100-yard rushers. QB Flowers is a real deal dual threat and the Bulls are also home in a revenge spot as Temple punked USF 46-30 in Philly last year. No foot off the pedal here. Bulls drop 50+ in payback. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | Georgia State v. Penn State -37 | 0-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
DMack Subscription Bonus Late Steam Report ... Penn State I have many contacts in the midwest including several in the Big Ten. In most cases, I would never consider laying this type of number but it seems that Franklin was not the least bit happy with the Nit performance vs. Pitt in last and will have his team razor sharp here with their Big Ten opener at Iowa on deck. Special emphasis this week in Happy Valley this week was placed on special teams and defense. Remember, that Blue and White had no compunction in rolling Akron in it's opener and faces a Georgia State team that was held to 29-49 rushing by Tennessee State. The Lions get their swagger back and pad their Heisman candidate stats before heading to Iowa City. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | LSU -6.5 v. Mississippi State | 7-37 | Loss | -115 | 127 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack Value Pack Winner on the LSU Tigers Miss State getting a lot of love this week in a nice revenge spot but ... nobody believes us about how good this Tiger team is going to be under Orgeron. In fact, LSU is 7-2 ATS in the games he has coached and faces a Bulldog team with more bark than bite and is just 3-6 ATS L9 at home. LSU also gets key DL back here who led the team in sacks. LSU 27-10. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | Appalachian State -23 v. Texas State | 20-13 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 59 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Week III Can of Whup Ass is on the Appalachian State Mountaineers App State is 28-6 straight up in its L34 games with three of the losses coming to Clemson, Florida, and this year in the opener to Georgia. The Mounties just don't lose to their own kind and will not here vs. a young and rebuilding Bobcat bunch. Can we cover the number ??? Probably without much problem if QB Taylor Lamb has anything like the game he had vs. Texas State last year when he threw four touchdown passes. App State well rested after dismembering FCS school in its last and will want to look good with a showdown at Wake Forest on deck. Appalachian State 49-10. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | Oregon -13.5 v. Wyoming | 49-13 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack Subscription Bonus Late Steam Report ... Oregon Taggert was extremely unhappy that the Quack Attack didn't come out to play in the second half last week vs. Nebraska after racing out to a 42-14 lead at half and then hanging on life and death to just win straight up. That's been addressed here and we can expect a full 60 minutes from the Ducks. Remember that Josh Allen has one TD and 7 picks vs. Power 5 teams and that the Cowboys were blanked by Iowa 24-0 in their opener. The Duck defense won't be confused with the Hawkeye stop unit but the Oregon offense will get a lot more than 24 points. If the Ducks get their 40+ as we think they will, can the Cowboy offense counter with 28 to stay inside the number ??? The answer in our eyes is not a shot. Lay it. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | Central Michigan +10.5 v. Syracuse | 17-41 | Loss | -110 | 113 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack's Money-Line Double Digit Dog is the Central Michigan Chippewas CMU features a Michigan transfer QB (that Harbaugh would give his left hand to have right now) in Shane Morris (693 yards, 6-1 TD/Int). The Chips have some exception weapons and are a veteran team with 18 Jr/Sr returning starters that will also remember an OT loss to the Orange two years ago. Syracuse lost to Middle Tennessee last week as the Blue Raiders also registered six sacks. CMU is 0-5 in this series and this would be a signature win against a Power Five school. This may come easier than you would imagine ... Central Mich 37-24. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | Utah State v. Wake Forest -13.5 | 10-46 | Win | 100 | 112 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack Value Pack Winner on Wake Forest This is not a very familiar role for the Deacs who have not been a double-digit home faves all that often the past two decades. Utah State has not been very impressive except for its first quarter against Wisconsin. The Aggies are just 1-10 ATS over L11 road games. Wake flexes here with seet tune up win before Duke. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | Baylor v. Duke -14 | 20-34 | Push | 0 | 109 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAA Week III Play of the Day is on the Duke Blue Devils Matt Rhule has to be wondering what he did leaving a nice cushy spot at Temple to take over the train wreck that is Baylor. Rhule is still trying to get the Art Briles stink off his team by implementing his own systems with Briles styles kids and the result has been ugly losses to Liberty and USTA. Unhappy with the Bear effort, Rhule starts nine new people this week including a change at QB and three new offensive linemen. While there is drama in Waco, Duke has rebounded from an injury riddled off year in 2016 wit two nice wins, the last a 41-17 home dog spanking of a pretty good Northwestern team in last. The Blue Devils are averaging 50 ppg. early and have no excuse not to drop 40+ on Baylor today. Duke 45-13. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | UCLA -2.5 v. Memphis | 45-48 | Loss | -115 | 120 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack Value Pack Winner on the UCLA Bruins Perfect letdown spot for UCLA here but Josh Rosen and Co. made of sterner stuff after two good wins and with two Pac-12 revenge games on deck. Sure Memphis has had extra time to prepare thanks to rain out but bigger, faster, stronger, better, Bruins still rate the nod here after scoring on 10 straight possessions from the start of A&M fourth quarter. UCLA 47 Memphis 34. |
|||||||
09-16-17 | UL-Lafayette v. Texas A&M OVER 60.5 | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 109 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Total of the Week on ULL/Texas A&M Over Ordinarily, Kevin Sumlin would be just happy to get a win here without any injuries but ... after the loss to UCLA, a lackluster 24-14 win over Nichols State, and QB Starkel out for the year, Sumlin needs to get his team a confidence builder heading into SEC play. They get it here. Gotta love the Rajun Cajuns who have split two games while allowing 114 points and 1180 yards. ULL is allowing 383 ypg. and faces a team that rushes the ball for 288 per and features two backs that may both very well run for 1500+ yards apiece. I'm putting the Aggies on 50 by themselves leaving ULL with almost none of the heavy lifting. This one ends close to 80 than 60. |

09-15-17 | Arizona -20 v. UTEP | Top | 63-16 | Win | 100 | 96 h 22 m | Show |
DMack's Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Arizona Wildcats Cats played their hearts out in last week's 19-16 home loss to Houston. That would have been a big win for the program that will need every win it can get to get bowl eligible in the ultra-competitive Pac-12. Arizona goes on the road for the first time in 2017 but catch the softest of touches in UTEP. The Miners might very well be the worst team in the FBS and their numbers look like this ... they are 129 of 130 in total offense and 125 of 130 in total defense. Most important for our purposes is that the Miners are 117th against the run allowing 243 ypg. and face the nation's No.9 rushing attack that averages 309 ypg. Power ground and pound means long prolonged drives that eat clock and keeps the defense fresh, masking their own deficiencies. This is the last chance for the Cats to look good before facing three tough foes in conference play. Cats shine in front of an ESPN national TV audience. Arizona 49-7. |
|||||||
09-09-17 | Utah v. BYU | 19-13 | Win | 100 | 100 h 27 m | Show | |
DMack's Holy War Late Bail Out is on the Utah Utes You would have thought that bringing in Ty Detmer as the BYU would have been a perfect fit but that hasn't happened with the Cougars posting just 20 against Portland State and then getting shut out at LSU in a game they gained less than 100 yards and failed to cross mid-field. Utah has big physical front seven similar to LSU and features more wide open offense than in the past with same relentless ground and pound. |
|||||||
09-09-17 | Stanford +7 v. USC | 24-42 | Loss | -130 | 99 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack's Live Dog Barking is on the Stanford Cardinal After watching Western Michigan run all over the Trojans for more than 300+ yards and it's hard to imagine how USC will be able to slow down and bigger, better, and more physical Tree outfit. Stanford win over Rice was meaningless but jet lag (Australia) no factor with extra time and Darnold will be running for his life again after first game without a touchdown trough the air. The Cardinal with a big chance to win straight up. |
|||||||
09-09-17 | New Mexico State +7.5 v. New Mexico | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 82 h 27 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Dog Pound Play is on the New Mexico State Aggies New Mexico has a habit of playing close games and five of their nine wins last year were by a touchdown or less. New Mexico State coach is coaching for his job and brought in 13 JUCO players to fortify 17 returning starters. Aggies outgained Arizona State by 149 yards in 37-31 loss in their season opener. Lobo ground and pound eats clock and keeps things close. Grab the 7 and the hook. |
|||||||
09-09-17 | Georgia +4.5 v. Notre Dame | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 53 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF/NFL Fan Appreciation Lock Parlay front end is on the Georgia Bulldogs Not worried in the least about Georgia freshman quarterback. Played three solid quarters against an App State team that was 27-5 in its L32 and the favorite to win the Sunbelt. He has two studs 1500+ backs to hand off to, Chubb/Michel are arguably the best 1-2 punch in the country. The Irish blew out a rebuilding Temple team ... so what ??? It's their freshman QB Wimbush that will be in trouble vs. a Dawg defense that returns 10 starters that accounted for 87% of last years tackles. Georgia 30-17. Please note that you should have no problems finding +5 at this point. |

09-09-17 | TCU -3 v. Arkansas | 28-7 | Win | 100 | 94 h 1 m | Show | |
Mack Attack College Football Lock of the Week is on the TCU Horned Frogs Very good team, great spot, and revenge equates to a double-digit win for TCU here. Razors won in OT last year despite being outgained by 150 yards. This Horned Frog team is loaded and REALLY can challenge for Big 12 title and will not be outclassed by either Oklahoma team. Gary Patterson is the best college HC that gets the least pub and the worst time to play him is after a tough year like TCU had last year as the Frogs have 11-1 and 12-1 in the year's following Patterson's only two losing seasons. TCU by 17. |
|||||||
09-09-17 | Wake Forest +1.5 v. Boston College | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 90 h 45 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Dog Pound Play is on Wake Forest The Demon Deacs are the better team and in revenge mode of 17-14 loss last year. The last four games of this series have averaged just 27 ppg. and this one will likely be decided by a touchdown or less. In short, BC STILL has no offense and does have Notre Dame on deck, the Eagles are 3-6 ATS L9 the week before Touchdown Jesus. |

09-09-17 | Iowa -2.5 v. Iowa State | 44-41 | Win | 100 | 91 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack's Rivalry Game of the Month is on the Iowa Hawkeyes Last year was the year that the Hawkeyes were supposed to make some noise. Instead, the Tigerhawk crashed and burned early and was never able to recover. Saw exactly what we wanted in the Iowa opener vs. a big-armed QB in Josh Allen and Wyoming who was dominated by a staunch Iowa defense that barely allowed 250 yards to the Cowboys in total offense. Iowa has the offensive line and stable of backs to run it down anybody's throat and that is exactly what we get here in Ames. Call it 23-10 Hawkeyes with lopsided time of possession. |

DMack's Week Two NCAAF Can of Whup Ass is on the West Virginia Mountaineers Love the Mounties in the spot to win big ... very big! West Virginia was a bit unlucky vs. Virginia Tech as they outgained the Hokies by almost 150 yards and still couldn't get there. East Carolina was crushed in its opener by FCS champion James Madison. No disgrace there but ... the Dollies allowing 412 rushing yards and 600+ total yards would be alarming if it was to the Patriots and Florida transfer Grier is gonna have a field day calling the shots. WVU has won the last nine in the series on this field and needs a big win here to restore some confidence and get things back on track. The home faithful will be well lubed in Morgantown for the opener and Holgersen will not disappoint. West Virginia 54-14. |

09-08-17 | Oklahoma State v. South Alabama OVER 66 | 44-7 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack will be on Oklahoma State/South Alabama Over The Oklahoma State Cowboys are an offensive juggernaut with a plethora of skill people weapons up and down the depth chart. Big time Heisman candidate Mason Rudolph and a big game against Tulsa in the Cowboy opener and face less defense here. OSU dropped 59 on the better Golden Hurricane and we put the Cowboys on 50+ here tonight. South Alabama is decent and has all the right intentions after beating San Diego State in non-conference last year. The Jags allowed 429 through the air against Ole Miss last Sunday and South Alabama responded. So we have Oklahoma State scoring 50 so the question is can USA get us 17 ??? We think so as this team got 24 in a loss at Ole Miss last week including scores on its last two possessions. This one ends closer to 80 than 60. Bet the Over. |

MACK ATTACK TEXAS A&M/UCLA HOT COACHES HOT SEAT BOWL winner in Texas A&M The Aggies will be somewhat at a disadvantage in terms of experience and at quarterback but they are a good defensive team that locked up Roden pretty good last year. Bot coaches are on the hot seat, particularly Sumlin who needs to get off to a good start here before SEC play. Sumlin teams have always played well on the road and face a UCLA team with its own problems and a 5-10 run L15 as a favorite and a 1-8-1 ATS L10 versus non-conference opponents. While SEC-Pac 12 matchups do not happen all that often (USC/Bama Last year), the SEC is 7-3 SU and ATS L10. Grab the points which have gone up since the original posting with 5's being available in some houses as of this morning. |

Mack Attack Florida State/Bama Super Power Super Play is on Florida State Five years ago, Florida State would have been playing Charleston Southern and Alabama would have been playing Nicholls State in their respective openers but thanks to $5 million dollar payouts and an FBS playoff system that is forgiving of losses like these if you take care of your business the rest of the way, we get what on paper looks to be an "instant classic". How do you handicap games like these ??? You have two teams of very similar talent and experience on a neutral site. Saban has never lost to one of his assistants and Jimbo Fisher was his assistant at LSU at the turn of the decade. Fisher is 4-0 SU and ATS L4 as a dog and as a conference, the ACC has had the better of it as of late. Both teams return a sophomore quarterback that played about every snap last year. Francois was thrown right into the fire while Hurts was nurtured along by Saban but will need to much more this year. For the Sems to have a chance (and we think they can win straight up) it will fall to a defense that returns 10 starters with a combined 186 starts. In the end, this looks to be a one score game so we'll grab the +7.5 with the better quarterback and more experienced defense. |

Mack Attack College Football Game of the Week is on the Wisconsin Badgers The Utah State defense has been in a state of decay for years and is allowing almost double the points that they did just three years ago. The Aggies return nothing of note and are 5-9-1 as a road dog under Wells while heading to one of the toughest road venues in college football. The Badgers QB is a sophomore who already has nine starts and he'll be handing off to stud backs working behind four returning OL with better than 90 starts. Wisky is just going to bully Utah State on offense and a well rested throughout the game stop unit will handle the rest. Wisky 45-3. |

Mack Attack NCAAF Under the Radar Super Total is Colorado State/Colorado Over Big game for both teams in this in-state rivalry which will be showcased at Mile High Stadium this year where the Broncos play. First though was Colorado State who look to rebound from recent 3-6-1 run in the series and Rams also 6-10 all time in games played in Denver. CSU is loaded and after a slow start dropped 58 on Oregon State last week. Ram QB Nick Stevens is a playmaker and the real deal. Colorado loses seven starters off the defense that won the Pac-12 South last year in a breakout season for the Buffs. Montez got some experience last year and should run Colorado flawlessly. Can't see either of these team NOT getting at least 30 points and expect this total to go flying OVER in a shootout. |

DMack's Thursday NCAAF Book Buster is on the Arizona State Sun Devils ASU's HC Graham's hot seat is red hot and tonight's opener is a must win. Last years's Devil team had an M.O. of scoring a lot of points and giving up a lot of points. The defense should be much better this year with eight returning starters who should be pretty good against the run which is the New Mexico State Aggie forte. The ASU offense should be better than ever and last year averaged 48 ppg. against non-conference foes. Wouldn't be shocked to see 50+ here by the Sun Devils and if the Aggies get 30 ... then shame on us. Call it 56-20. |

Mack Attack Super Play on the Ohio State Buckeyes Indiana has lost 21 straight to the Buckeyes but the Hoosiers have covered the last six. Just one thing, Indiana's coach from last year is now the Ohio State OC so the Bucks will be well prepped offensively and defensively if nothing else that from a personnel standpoint. This year's Buckeyes are loaded and have veteran JT Barrett calling the shots for what seems like a fifth or six year. Indiana is getting a lot of love this year but up against it in the opener. Ohio State 49-17. |

DMack's College Football Opening Salvo is the South Florida Bulls Charlie Strong was due for some good Karma after being tortured three years in Texas. Strong is an excellent football coach who is saddled with the burden of trying to do the right thing with a program. In South Florida, Strong gets a loaded team that was 11-2 last year and looks better this year. His quarterback is a dual threat Lamar Jackson type that has accounted for 71 TDs himself the last two years. San Jose State will be improved but allowed a whopping 6.5 ypp. last year and have a huge disadvantage in team speed and in the trenches. If South Florida can stop the run, this one could get ugly early. South Florida 44-10. |

DMack's National Championship Super Play is on the Clemson Tigers We have the rematch of last year's 45-40 thriller and this one should be just as good. When the number came out at Clemson -6.5, I immediately bought up to the full touchdown thinking the line would drop to below six and possible lower by game time. Sevens were available through the week but there has been a late influx of Tiger money and we're seeing -6 just about everywhere so do what you have to do early. Clemson returns with a veteran crew that has been through this before and if anything will be more focused here. Watson is a four-year starter facing a freshman and while this Crimson Tide team is strong on both sides, really like the orange defense as a well that pitched three shut outs including Ohio State. Remember that Clemson led by four heading to the fourth quarter last year. Alabama is good and this may in fact be Saban's best team but Clemson is here to ball and against a team that is somewhat limited offensively, has a big chance to win straight up. Sark for Lane Kiffin IS NOT A GOOD THING and a significant downgrade for Bama. In what figures to be another classic that is played more between the 20's, the call is Clemson 26-20. |

Mack Attack Sugar Bowl winner is on the Oklahoma Sooners The Sooner season ended before it started when it was spanked bu Houston and Ohio State. To his credit, Big Game Bob kept things together and won nine straight while averaging 47 ppg. The Sooners beat Bama as a 15-dog in this game three years ago, their only win in their last four Bowls. Auburn has a nice three week run but has come back to the pack. No crazy spread in this one and at just a FG, Oklahoma has too many weapons for Auburn to deal with. Oklahoma 45-31. |

The Trojans won their last three appearances by a combined 60 points (14+) but that was with pre-sanction teams. Change of QB here did the team good after a 1-3 start. The Trojans are a good bully, 7-1 as a favorite this year and rock six straight wins and covers coming in. USC is back and makes statement that further Pac 12 titles run through them. USC 38-24. |

DMack's Outback Bowl Lock Parlay is on Iowa and the Under I had a cup of coffee at Iowa back in the day and still have some friends and "contacts" in the area. This is somewhat of a redemption bowl for the Hawkeyes who started year primed to run the table into the Final Four. That didn't happen but Iowa has won three straight in convincing fashion and snap a four-game bowl losing streak that saw the Hawks lose by more than a touchdown each time. These two teams are defensive specialists that couldn't score with a fistful of hundreds at Cheetahs. If Iowa protects the ball and comes to play (and all indications point that they will), they win a 23-10 type of game handily. |

DMack's Cotton Bowl Super Play is on the Wisconsin Badgers Western Michigan is a nice story but this is a team that barely beat Northwestern and Illinois out of the Big Ten and then struggled somewhat towards the end of their MAC Conf schedule. Wisconsin is a proven commodity and with a month off will be healthy again after getting beaten up by the rigors of the Big Ten schedule. Wisconsin gave Michigan and Ohio State all they wanted on the road and probably should have won both games. Power running game and BIG TIME defense sends Cinderella back to Kalamazoo 13-1. Wisky 30-10. |

Mack Attack Washington/Bama Peach Bowl Super Play is on the Alabama Crimson Tide At the end of the day there is not a whole lot of handicapping here. If you get to this point, you are a good team regardless. Washington is a dog the first time all year. Chris Petersen is 6-3 in Bowl games and engineered an upset of powerhouse Oklahoma ten years ago as coach of Boise State. Bama has covered seven straight and is 9-2-1 as a favorite, 8-2-1 as a double-digit favorite. Going with the eye test. IMO ... this is the best Bama team under Saban. They'll dominate the Huskies up front and push UWub around the first half and extend into the second. Still remember USC doing the same thing in November with lesser. Bama 38-10. |

The Seminoles season was defined by their crush shot loos to Louisville but even with basically just this type of Bowl to play for, FSU rallied down the stretch allowing just 16 ppg. over their final seven games. Michigan lost two of it's final three and the Wolverine offense is sketchy at best. FSU running back Dalvin Cook (1600+, 18 TDs) is the difference maker here. ACC teams have won four straight Orange Bowls, three as dogs. Grab the points and THERE ARE HOOKS OUT THERE! |

Air Force had a big year ... also beating Army and Navy soundly to take the Commander and Chief trophy for the first time since Fisher DeBerry era. If the the Floyboys get off early, watch out.

The Hokies had their moments good and bad but the defense was staunch and long time Beamer DC has had plenty of time to gameplan the Razors. The final week of the regular season loss to Missouri has put Beilema in the hot seat for next year. He's won his last two Bowls with the power ground game that turned the ball over just once and won the TOP war 80-40. We see this as a close one score game with all the action between the 20s. Running the ball eats clock and points will be at a premium. Parlay Arkansas and the UNDER. |

Northwestern has never fared well in Bowls (2-10 all time) and at it's best might slow Pitt down but not stop them entirely and the Cats can't trade points.

DMack's Cactus Bowl Super Play is on Baylor/Boise State OVER the Total Wanted to pull the trigger with Boise State here as they face a Baylor team ravages with injuries to key starters but after a closer look, the total is without question the best way to go. The Bears opened the season 6-0 before dropping their last six straight. Even after losing stud QB Seth Russell, the Bear offense for the most part other than some red zone issues. The defense was typical Baylor and at one point down the stretch gave up 203 points in four games. Boise has the weapons to do their part with gunslinger Rypien having an off year but still managing to throw for 3300+ yards and RB Jeremy McNichols accounting for 27 TDs on his own. Big plays, turnovers and both teams really with nothing to lose and can just go out and play translates to a shootout on our end. We're putting Baylor on 28+ points which barring total Boise indifference would have this game flying over the total. |

NC State limps home with a 2-5 second half that included four straight losses at one point. The Commodores are 6-3 as a dog (the dog has won this Bowl L3) and the SEC is 12-4 over the ACC in H2H Bowls over the past five years. Vandy also rocks the best offensive and defensive players on the field. Vandy is in it's eighth Bowl EVER so you know it's excited to be here.

Mack Attack Bahama Bowl Super Play is on Old Dominion This is Eastern Michigan's first Bowl since 1987, this Old Dom's first ever since resuming football in 2009. Really like the Monarchs here all nine of their wins were by double digits including thier last five straight. Old Dom really picked up the pace in the second half averaging better than 45 ppg over their last three and are led by a dual threat quarterback that just doesn't turn the ball over. In fact, he's the team's third leading rusher and rocks a 28/4 (TD/INT) ratio. Old Dom is 7-0-1 ATS as a favorite this year and 6-0 when the line is single digits. Four of the five EMU losses were by 13+ and don't mind laying a five spot to a team that was just 7-41 the last four years and was life and death to get Bowl eligible late this year. Old Dominion. |

So will this Bowl be extra special after the team overachieved all year. Hard to say but probably not. Linehan can throw the ball around but in the end this is a second tier Sunbelt team. Good thing are on tap for a Colorado State team that has covered seven straight and steamrolled conference play in the second half. The Rams are a perfect 5-0 in double-digit spread games and don't figure to take the foot off the pedal here. Colorado State 54-20. |

DMack's Poinsettia Bowl Super Play is on Wyoming/BYU Over the Total These two have not met since 2010 but have a long history, most recently in the Mountain West Conference. Last night's WKU/Memphis shootout stopped a run of seven straight Bowl unders and this matchup also figures to be a shootout. The Cowboys can light it up but the defense has given up 83 points and 810 rushing yards in LAST TWO. Four back the Cowboys gave up 69 points and 401 rushing yards in triple OT loss to lowly UNLV. BYU has lost three straight Bowls giving up 40+ yards per so the Cougars will be interested. Could be rainy in San Diego but temps in mid-60's so all systems go. This one should fly OVER the total. |

The Hilltoppers have been in Bowls four the last five years and their the last two years their Bowls have produced 97 and 80 points. WKU lost it's coach to Purdue but reports have the team excited to play and they'll just do what they do which is score. Memphis is 90th in the country in total defense while WKU is No.110 against the pass. Over is 7-3 Memphis L10 and 6-2 in Western Kentucky's L8. See a shootout start to finish. Play the Over. |

DMack's New Orlean's Bowl Super Play is on UL Lafayette We can't see this line doing anything but going down as we like the Cajuns to win straight up but buying ULL to six if you can get it will put you in a very good place. It's difficult to see where all this money is coming from. We liked ULL at four and were thrilled to see 5 1/2. Now you can get a full touchdown with a team playing ostensibly a home game in their own back yard. ULL was in this game from 2010-14 and went 4-0 SU and ATS all four times as a dog. Southern Miss lost three of four down the stretch, beat La Tech to get Bowl eligible as a 14-point dog and most importantly to you, are just 1-8 L9 ATS. S Miss lost to Sunbelt Troy by double-digits this year. Get the Cajuns and sprinkle in some money line. |

DMack's Las Vegas Bowl Play is on the Houston Cougars We can't see this line doing anything but going up so it might not be a bad idea to spend the 20 cents and buy down to three while you can. San Diego State faced no spread offenses like they'll see here and to make matters worse, Cougar QB Greg Ward will be as healthy here as he's been all year. He has a tone of weapons and faces an Aztec defense that's been mauled the last two weeks for 97 points by Colorado State and Wyoming. From all indications, Rocky Long's agenda here is to get Vegas product Darnell Pumphrey the 108 yards he needs to get the all time NCAA rushing record. Houston is 9-0 when holding opponents to 38 points or less. SDSU has virtually no shot of getting that here. |

DMack Sunbelt Super Play winner is on Arkansas State * Note to everyone, it is important for you to know that my official play is on Arkansas State. Once the play is submitted .... it cannot be changed. It is all on me as I evidently wasn't paying attention. Again, to avoid all confusion ... the play is on Arkansas State. The Red Wolves shot themselves in the foot last week with the loss at Lafayette, a game they won the yardage war 534-292 but had a pick six, two missed FGs inside of 30 yards and were stuffed eight times inside the five. Prior they had won and covered all Sunbelt games, part of a current 18-4 SBC run. How high can you make a line vs. Texas State that was not only beat by 39 and 61 to Arkansas and Houston but by 20,24, 25, 37, 40 and 43 points in other Sunbelt Conference games. The only negative we can see is third straight roadies for Wolves. Arkansas State can still get a piece of the conference title with App State so expecting a razor sharp effort here and Arkansas State 54-17 type of win. Again ... this play is on Arkansas State |

DMack's Championship Week LAYDOWN Super Play is on West Virginia It's payback time for a Baylor team that is complete free fall and in its "worst" spot of the year. Since opening 6-0, the Bears have laid egg after egg going 0-5 SU and ATS while allowing 47.6 ppg. on 576 ypg and giving the ball up 14 times over that skid. West Virginia comes home after getting beaten up by Oklahoma but is still having its best year under Holgersen and sitting at nine wins and looking to go to a pretty good Bowl. The Mounties are home and their short memory will remember 62-38 beat down in Waco last year when Briles never took foot off the pedal. Longest road trip of the year for disinterested Baylor team that will also battle temperatures in the 30s and a well oiled up Morgantown crowd. West Virginia 54-27. |

DMack's Big 12 Championship Week Super Dog is on the Oklahoma State Cowboys The Sooners are 11-2 over the L13 in the series but the dog has covered three of the last four and the Cowboys did win straight up here the last time here in 2014. While not a championship game per se, the winner does claim the Big 12 title with a win. Both team feature excellent offenses and suspect defenses which makes up think that the Cowboys can hang around. Okie State has the best offensive line in the conference and Rudolph may not be as flashy as Mayfield, he doesn't turn the ball over and he doesn't make poor back breaking decisions. Also thinking that Oklahoma State will have a huge chip on it's shoulder flashing back to Central Mich loss and thinking about what might have been. Take the points. |

DMack's AAC Championship Game Super Play winner is the Navy Midshipmen What a month of November for Navy .... 201 points, two punts and just one turnover. That's the key to Middie success .... going on long sustained drives that wear people down and hide whatever deficiencies and shrotcomings in team speed going on in the Navy defense. In the win over Notre Dame, the Irish got the ball a grand total of six times. Much respect to Temple who has covered 11 straight but we only need go back to Temple game vs. Army to see that the Owls have fits with the option as the Cadets had three drives of 70+ yards and 329 yards on the ground in opening week win. Temple is obviously better at this point but so are the Middies who are are on 6-1 ATS run and 10-2 ATS L12 at home. Walker has a FOUR YEAR M.O. of turning the ball over when the chips are down and threw three picks in loss to Army. Navy 41-30. |

12-02-16 | Ohio v. Western Michigan -18.5 | 23-29 | Loss | -106 | 66 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's MAC Championship Super Play is on the Western Michigan Broncos This Western Michigan Broncos team is a special bunch and a win here puts them in a major Bowl (the Cotton) for the first time ever as the best non-power five program. IMO, this team is tons better than the Northern Illinois teams of five years ago that were ultimately blow out by Florida State in the Bowl. WMU QB Zach Terrell (72%, 30-1 TD/Int) runs a balanced potent offense that features probably NFL high round picks WR Corey Davis (83, 1266, 17 TDs) and RBs Franklin and Bogan who combined for 2000+ yards and 20 TDs. Ohio was best in the East but HC Frank Solich, who never won big games at Nebraska, has continued that MO at Ohio. The Broncos have covered 15 of their 20 straight up wins the last two years including routs of Ohio the last two years. Neutral site game at Ford's Field feels like a blowout. Call it 45-17 Western Michigan. |

11-26-16 | East Carolina v. Temple -20 | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 113 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack Bully Beat Down winner is the Temple Owls The Owls are the best ATS team in the nation and figure to have their own way against free falling East Carolina. Temple needs to win to lock up conference championship game bid. Covering the three touchdowns in the question and the answer is yes. The Pirates give up better than 263 ypg on the ground and better than 5.7 ypc. on offense, the Pirates can thrown the ball around a little but face the much the best defense in the AAC. Phillip Walker is a four year starter for Temple at quarterback. He's had a propensity during his career to turn the ball over but like the fact he can hurt you scrambling as wll. A clean sheet from him and we'll call this one 45-10 Owls. |

11-26-16 | Appalachian State -17.5 v. New Mexico State | 37-7 | Win | 100 | 25 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday Power Pack winner on Appalachian State The Mounties are a proven road commodity going 7-1 L8 as a road favorite. Their only loss in conference came on a late score on the road at Troy. Appalachian State plays excellent defense and can run the ball at will against a Swiss cheese Aggie defense that allows 237 a game on the ground and better than 5.0 yards per attempt. RB Moore has rushed for 100+ in seven of eight conference games and should do some business here as Mountaineers have their way throughout. |

DMack Saturday Power Pack winner on Navy SMU needs a win here to get Bowl eligible but in the famous words of the Stones, "You don't always get what you want". That's the case here as the Middies have been good for 40+ points in four of their last five games. Stangs had no luck stopping Navy option last year allowing 403 yards overland. SMU allowing 278 per on the ground this year. Navy has owned the series at 7-1 (6-2 ATS) and is on a current 16-6-2 ATS roll. Middies tune up for AAC championship game with a three touchdown win here. |

11-26-16 | Arkansas State -5 v. UL-Lafayette | 19-24 | Loss | -106 | 44 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's First Blood is on Arkansas State The Red Wolves have rolled through the Sunbelt winning six straight rather easily, they've won 15 straight conference games going back and are the real deal. Players buried this team after 0-4 start in money ball games against Power schools but this was a team that lost players to graduation and needed some time to get new people situated. The Cajuns don't score a lot of points and in fact when facing similar (App State) in front of a national TV audience ... were blanked 24-0. Even for road game, this number is very cheap. |

11-26-16 | Michigan v. Ohio State UNDER 45.5 | 27-30 | Loss | -104 | 44 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack's Conference Total of the Year is on Michigan/Ohio State UNDER Regardless of who quarterbacks the Wolverines, points are going to be very tough to come by in the Horseshoe this afternoon. These are two top defenses and we know that both offenses have struggled the last couple of weeks. No real brain surgery here as we have two top five defenses in yardage and points allowed. The offenses are high powered to be sure but just think back to Wisconsin games and even Mich/Iowa to imagine what kind of old fashioned slobber knocker this will be. The final will be closer to 30 than 45 ... play the Under. |

11-25-16 | Arizona State -3 v. Arizona | 35-56 | Loss | -100 | 37 h 22 m | Show | |
DMack's Dual in the Desert winner is Arizona State The Sun Devils have been decimated with injuries all year long but to their credit, come to play every week which is all you can ask for in a "next man up" situation. The same can't be said for Arizona which looks like a team that has quit on HC Rich Rod who will likely be retained simply because of a huge buyout. The Wildcats have go no QB play from anyone and have scored 17 points or less in four of their last five. Further .... Zona is 1-10 ATS and allowing 45 ppg. in conference play. Give us the hard trying Sun Devils in a game so important to in-state recruiting and bragging rights. Arizona State 41-27. |

11-25-16 | Cincinnati v. Tulsa -22.5 | 37-40 | Loss | -104 | 79 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack's Rivalry Week Can of Whup Ass play is on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane Most of you saw the Bearcats "effort" in prime time last Thursday when Cincinnati was mauled by Memphis in a game that Tiger head coach Mike Norvell graciously took his foot off the pedal and played his kids the second half. You won't find a more offensively inept offense than Cincinnati who has scores one touchdown outside of garbage time in the last 14 quarters. Tulsa will be "Bowling" for the first time in three years and will be looking to improve their prospects with a ten win campaign and style points here. This has all the makings over a blowout and Tulsa happy to oblige. |

DMack's Super Revenge Super Play is on the La Tech Bulldogs We've made a lot of money this year using La Tech in our selections and they rarely disappointed. La Tech has won seven straight, off a well timed bye and has already locked up a spot in their conference championship game. The Bulldogs will be in a foul mood here after getting spanked 58-24 in this game last year on their home field. Like the fact that Skip Holtz went to hurry up offense in the final two minute of their last game to get one final marker up 21 vs. USTA. Tech has covered six straight while the Golden Eagles are 1-9 ATS L10. Tech fine tunes with big revenge win. |

11-25-16 | Washington -6 v. Washington State | 45-17 | Win | 100 | 31 h 53 m | Show | |
DMack's Rivalry Week Game of the Year is on the Washington Huskies Mike Leach has done a real nice job with Wash State but the Coogs were exposed somewhat last week in their loss at Colorado which snapped an eight-game win streak. Wazzou is just noit that big in the trenches and lacks the team speed they face today in the Huskies. UWub has had a very good year for Peterson and showcases a team with little exposure in front of a national TV audience today. 1-4 ATS L5 mark a non-factor here as Huskies always saddled with unrealistic impost after steamrolling lesser early on. Washington has won six of seven in the series and is 6-2 ATS L8 on this field. They've won last two years by 31 and 18 and 14-20 points looks to be about right here. |

11-22-16 | Ball State v. Miami (OH) OVER 53.5 | 20-21 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack's Tuesday College Football MAC Daddy is on the Ball State/Miami Fla OVER These two haven't met since 2013 so no real recent history pertinent to the two squads meeting tonight. Ball State is a shootout team that looks to outscore their opponents. They have to because the Card defense is brutal allowing 43 ppg. over its L5 games. Miami has battles back from 0-5 with five straight wins and can get Bowl eligible here. The Red Hawks feature defense but have also averaged 31 ppg. in the current five game run. Miami is the better team and will likely win. That said, not willing to buck Ball State's 5-1 ATS mark on the road this year. If we put Miami Oh on 35+ here we just need Ball to contribute some to send this one flying over the total. Call is 42-34 whoever. Play OVER the total. |

Mack Attack's Pac12 Game of the Year winner is on the USC Trojans Trojan frosh QB Darnold has been a revelation for Troy losing his first start to Utah and then going 6-0 SU (5-1 ATS) since. The last nine series games have been decided by 9+ points and fully expect that USC has some success here. The Trojan defense dominated a very good UWub team last week |

11-19-16 | Navy -8 v. East Carolina | 66-31 | Win | 100 | 26 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday NCAAF Power Pack winner is on the Navy Midshipmen The Pirates are 1-7-1 against the spread in their L9 and rank No.125 in takeaway margin. The team rotates QBs and can throw the ball around on occasion but is still -90 ATS last six. ECU allowing 279 ground yards per which won't due against the nation's fourth ranked rush offense that averages 309 ypg. with it's option veer. Navy plays defense on offense as well by going on long clock eating drives, Notre Dame had just six possessions for the game when Navy edged them two weeks ago. Middies need just win out to play in conference championship. They get that here with 24 point win. |

11-19-16 | San Diego State -10 v. Wyoming | 33-34 | Loss | -100 | 51 h 20 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday NCAAF Power Pack winner is on San Diego State A+B=C so we have SDSU and the No.5 rushing offense featuring one of the top three yardage backs in college football history (Darnel Pumphrey ... 347 yards from No.1) vs. the nations' No.122 rushing defense (298 ypg against). The Cowboys were exposed by UNLV who ran the ball for 404 yards on almost 7.0 ypc in 69-66 3 OT not so instant classic loss to the Rebels. Add to the mix that SDSU controls it's destiny in the MWC South and Rocky Long's current 15-2 ATS run in conference play and the case is strong for the Aztecs. |

DMack's Saturday NCAAF Power Pack winner is on Northwestern Gopher QB Leidner has thrown O touchdowns against five picks in last five games. Minnesota runs the ball and that's what Northwestern defends best against holding L6 opponents to just 124 per while going 5-1 ATS in that stretch. Cats have three pretty good offensive weapons and a simple straight up win gets THEM Bowl eligible meaning urgency with the Purple. Northwestern controls ground on both sides to come out with a comfortable win. |

11-19-16 | Wisconsin -27.5 v. Purdue | 49-20 | Win | 100 | 48 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Can of Whoop Ass play is on the Wisconsin Badgers If you were with us last week, we used Northwestern as our Big Ten Game of the Year noting that Purdue had developed an Mo for playing well in first half and quitting in the second. We noted that the Boilers had lost the L4 second halfs by an 83-10 aggregate. Purdue did us proud by losing second half 31-7 for an easy winner on the Cats. Boilers allow 280ypg rushing and Wisky RB Clement must be licking his chops watching film. Badgers need to take care of biz to get in Big Ten championship game and can grind this team down. Wisky defense takes care of the rest in 49-10 win. |

11-19-16 | Kansas State -1.5 v. Baylor | 42-21 | Win | 100 | 46 h 34 m | Show | |
Mack Attack's Big 12 Game of the Month winner is on the Kansas State Wildcats Supposedly "sharp" (the biggest horseshit term in sports betting) money coming in on Baylor and not sure why. The Bears are in freefall having three straight while allowing 47 ppg and allowing 711 rushing yards to boot. QB Russell done with a broken ankle and top back Linwood is probable but slowed by minor injuries for weeks. K State has the better QB and Baylor cryptonite with a running game that has run up 826 ground yards in its last three. Snyder the Andy Reid of college football at 8-0 ATS in his L8 out of a bye. K State by a touchdown. |

11-18-16 | Memphis -7 v. Cincinnati | 34-7 | Win | 100 | 44 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Light's Bankroll Builder is on the Memphis Tigers Can't find a single reason to NOT fade Cincinnati here. The Bearcats offense is a horrific No.121 in the FBS, has scored six points in it's last two games and has produced just one touchdown in 10 quarters. Memphis is not a whole lot and several notches below last year's Paxton Lynch/Fuente edition from last year but they do have a QB in Riley Ferguson who can throw the ball around to several NFL caliber wide outs. Cinn pass defense is decent but Memphis doesn't need a whole lot to put this out of reach considering Cats offensive woes. Cinn 1-7 ATS L8 and 0-3 this year a home dog. |

DMack's Thursday Sunbelt Super Play is in the Arkansas State Red Wolves These are the last two Sunbelt unbeatens so this is a de-facto championship game. Troy is 8-1 with lone loss to Clemson but the Trojans were fortunate to win an backyard street fight with App State in last and are right back in the fire on a short week. Ark State has won and covered five straight after tough start in early money games. The teams haven't played since 2013 but the Red Wolves have owned the series winning the last three straight up by 7+. Ark State has the better defense and and will be in this throughout so grabbing 8+ the way to go against dicey home favorite in conference where home fave are just 7-11 on the year. Take Arkansas State. |

DMack's Weds NCAAF MAC Daddy is on Ball State Ball State has lost three straight, strangely enough, all but Western Michigan were teams they should have beaten. Cards play little defense but have high octane offense that should do some business against a Toledo team that really hasn't played well since national TV loss to BYU. The Rocket defense hasn't stooped a fat man in weeks and believe that Ball can trade points here in a shootout and stay under the three touchdown number. |

11-15-16 | Ohio v. Central Michigan | Top | 20-27 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
MAC ATTACK MAC CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR winner is the Ohio Bobcats These are tow teams clearly headed in opposite directions. The Chips are 1-6 ATS their L7 and have appeared to hit the wall after a fast start. Ohio has six of seven and has really turned up the "D" the last three games allowing just 46 points over their last three games in the "Everything Goes" MAC and that includes a game at Toledo. The teams did not play last year and CMU has dominated the series of late but this is Solich and the Bobcat's year. They are a veteran outfit that returned a boat load of upperclassmen and starters and they will clinch a MAC championship game bid with a win here. A closer look shows the Cats 5-0 ATS on the road and 3-0 as a dog which they were with opening line. The Ohio Bobcats are as good a ground and pound as you'll see in the MAC and they win here comfortably .... call it 27-10. |
