NFL 100 DIME GAME STEELERS -3 Antonio Brown has been Pittsburgh's leading receiver for five straight years but could pass that mantle to JuJu Smith-Schuster, who tallied 10 catches for 104 yards to lead the comeback against the Jaguars and draw comparisons to another franchise great at the position. "He's Hines Ward-like," Tomlin said at his weekly news conference of Smith-Schuster. "I realize what I said when I said that. But this guy enjoys it. He's embracing it, and I think it helps us. I don't know that we've had a guy that I can even make that loose comparison to." Brown, Smith-Schuster and others have helped Roethlisberger put together one of his best seasons at the age of 36, as he is on pace for a career-high 37 touchdowns and to eclipse 5,000 yards for the first time. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME CARDINALS +13.5 Arizona took a tough loss vs. Oakland last week, and L.A. did the same vs. Denver. Arizona continues to struggle with turnovers due in large part to poor offensive line play, but the Cardinals could make Philip Rivers' life tough with the second-best sack rate in the league, led by another quietly great year from Chandler Jones." |

NFL 100 DIME GAME 49ERS +3 As for the Niners, things have been going well enough for them. Third in rushing yards thus far in the league this season has them controlling the ball well. Passing is where they struggle, only able to reach the 23rd best in the league. Still, they fall to just below the middle of the pack at 17th overall in terms of offensive yardage. Their defense is ranked 10th overall so should be able to help negate that dominance of Tampa’s offense so look for those possessions in which Tampa’s got the ball in this game. I like the Niners to pull the upset here. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME LOUISVILLE +17 With 207 yards standing between Benny Snell and Kentucky’s all-time rushing record, expect the junior running back to receive a heavy workload against a Cardinals’ defense that has been gashed throughout the season. As his confidence has grown by the game, don’t be surprised to see a slow start from Terry Wilson in what will be his first Governor’s Cup experience. After giving up a whopping 392 yards to Middle Tennessee last Saturday, Kentucky’s veteran defense should come out with a purpose against the Cardinals. After all, most of a senior-rich defense will face Louisville for the fourth and final time in their careers. The game could be close and competitive early, but the first 11 games of the regular season show Kentucky is more talented, well-coached and soundly balanced than Louisville in all three phases of the game. After halftime, expect the Wildcats to pull away and firmly defeat the Cardinals. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME GEORGIA SOUTHERN -10.5 Georgia State might have struggled in a lousy season with just one win over an FBS team, but beat Georgia Southern, and that would be more fun than any bowl victory. At least, that’s what the team has to believe. Can the Panthers stop the run? Not really. They’ve allowed over 200 yards in five of the last six games, and now they have to deal with an option attack that can stall at odd times – and did way too often over the second half of the season – but when it’s on, forget it. 7-0 when coming up with 200 yards, the Eagles aren’t just great when they’ve got the machine going; they’re not making big mistakes, either. They lead the nation in turnover margin after only giving the ball away five times. Georgia State isn’t going to come up with enough stops, and they’re not going to generate the takeaways needed to pull this off. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME NC STATE -6.5 North Carolina is 2-8, but the Tar Heels have been competitive in each of their last six games. After getting blown out by Miami on September 27, UNC lost its next five games by 33 total points before beating Western Carolina last week. So there is still fight in the Heels, and they will give the Wolfpack a battle to close the campaign. But the matchups are in NC State’s favor. The slipping pass defense plays right into Finley’s hands, and the Pack can control the Carolina ground game and harass quarterback Nathan Elliott. Fedora’s season — and perhaps his stint in Chapel Hill — will end with another loss. |

CFB 150 DIME HIGH ROLLER GOY WASHINGTON ST -2.5 This is Leach’s first 10-win season with Washington State. As the numbers suggest, this is a far better Cougar team than usual and not as good of a Washington side. Minshew is going out on top with by far his best season, and he should be able to go out on top in the form of his first victory over the Huskies. Browning, meanwhile, is going up against a WSU defense that is second in the Pac-12 against the rush and third against the pass. It is worth noting that the favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings between the two teams. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME OKLAHOMA -3 Oklahoma has won 19 straight true road games, which is the longest such streak in the nation. West Virginia hasn't lost at home this season. Something has got to give in this clash of explosive offenses. The Sooners have been living on the edge in November with their porous pass defense. Facing one of the nation's top quarterbacks isn't a good solution to cure those woes. West Virginia can keep up on the scoreboard and has just enough on defense to deny Oklahoma a chance to repeat as Big 12 champs. |

NFL 150 DIME SYNDICATE GAME BEARS -2.5 The Bears are trending north in the last few weeks with some balanced play on both sides of the field.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME SAN DIEGO ST +13 Fresno State had little trouble in dispatching San Diego State a year ago, and the Bulldogs seem to have a clear edge over the Aztecs once again. Both teams feature strong defenses, but Fresno State can put points on the board when needed. That isn't a claim San Diego State can make. It will be a grind-it-out battle over four quarters, but the Bulldogs will make just enough plays to pull away late. |

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME GIANTS +3.5 At some point, the worm has to turn for the Giants. This could be the game. After what seemed to be a refreshing week away from football, Big Blue appears to be ready to take on all comers. Their luck is about to change. They have some new blood being injected into their veins (such as guard Jamon Brown, picked up off waivers from the Rams last week) along with several young players seeing expanded roles. With all the talk about Eli Manning getting phased out, he’s not about to go quietly. Odell Beckham Jr. usually excels this time of year and Saquon Barkley is poised to take his game to the next level. It will be close, but they’ll finally pull one out. |

NFL MEGA MOVE 100 Dime GOY TEXANS +3 Bill O’ Brien seems to be leaning heavily on the running game of late. Luckily, it has been working. Against Denver’s 27th ranked run defense, it is easy to see him trying to get the most out of Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue this week. Of course, Houston’s success on offense begins and ends with Watson. He’ll get his share of the workload; more than his share if the running game falters. Since they will likely be leaning more on the run, Houston is not going to run up the score. Case Keenum and his stable of receivers are good enough to put up some points on Houston and make sure this one stays close. Denver is favored by 2.5 points. But in the end, look for Houston to pull the outright win here. Take the Points. |

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME STEELERS +3 Pittsburgh has won three of the past four meetings with Baltimore, with the lone loss during that stretch coming in Week 4 at home this season. The Steelers lost that game 26-14 as three-point favorites, with running back James Conner rushing for just 19 yards on nine carries. There has not been much news on the Le'Veon Bell front following the trade deadline, so it looks like the team will continue to ride Conner for the time being. Conner's strong play since that loss has been one of the main reasons for the turnaround, with him averaging 122.3 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns. |

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME FALCONS +2 Both of these teams come into this game playing exceptionally well. The odds would be much better in Washington’s favor had it not been for the fact that Atlanta is coming off of their bye week. This has given them a next or week to prepare for the Redskins and should help the Falcons in this contest. Alex Smith has played well for the Redskins, but they are going to need a prime time offensive performance and the Redskins may not be up to that yet. Atlanta has a red-hot quarterback that will likely be the difference in this game. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME WASHINGTON ST -10 Right now, Minshew is arguably one of the top five quarterbacks in the country, and he will put too much pressure on Garbers and Cal’s offense to keep up with the Cougars.

The Conference USA Bulldogs are great at getting behind the line – Jaylon Ferguson is tearing up offenses with 10.5 sacks so far – but this game is about stopping the run. Louisiana Tech can be hit hard on the ground, giving up over 200 yards four times – including 218 yards and five scores in the 38-21 loss to LSU – and now it’s up to Nick Fitzgerald to go back to being Nick Fitzgerald, if he wants to.

CFB 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA -6 Feleipe Franks, if you and the Gator passing game ever wanted to open it up, this is the time to do it. Missouri made Terry Wilson look like Patrick Mahomes over the last several minutes of the collapse to Kentucky. The Tiger secondary has had a few issues, getting lit up for 200 yards or more in each of the last six games – failing to come through in the clutch against the Cats last week in the 15-14 loss. Florida would love nothing more than to ground-and-pound this game and make it about the time of possession and long drives, but Franks should be able to have some success. He doesn’t have to be brilliant. All he has to do is hit his third down throws, not force anything, and connect on 60% or so of his passes. His defense should take care of the rest. This is a Syndicate Move. Florida by 13 points or more. |

So I would say that any team is scary at this point. Arizona has a great athlete at QB that could have run for 1,000 yards against CU alone last year and the Wildcats just put a beating on a better team than the Buffs. As you can tell, I am psychologically scarred from last week. |

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME RAIDERS +3 Just because the 49ers are potent on offense doesn't mean they'll cover a field-goal spread against the Derek Carr-led Raiders. Oakland's quarterback was an efficient 21 for 28 for 244 yards and three touchdowns last week versus Indy. Expect Carr to have the crosshairs on favorite target Jared Cook. The tight end is No. 1 on the team in receiving yards with 474 and has found pay dirt three times. Carr also will look for Jordy Nelson, who has a 173-yard performance under his belt this season. Doug Martin and Jalen Richard form a one-two backfield punch. Martin is notching 4.3 yards per carry, while Richard is a more lethal pass-catching threat. Richard has more receptions (39) than any other Raider. |

NFL 100 DIME SILVER GOY BRONCOS +10.5 Week 7 was filled with blowout results and Denver was on the right side of one of those last Sunday. The Broncos shot down the Arizona Cardinals 45-10 thanks in large part to two interceptions returned for touchdowns. It was a bounce-back performance from head coach Vance Joseph’s normally stout defence. It was only a few weeks ago the New York Jets totaled 503 total yards of offence against Denver. Emmanuel Sanders is unquestionably the top offensive playmaker for the Broncos. The wide receiver leads his team with 46 catches, 603 receiving yards and three TD grabs. Sanders even got into the passing game last weekend against the Cards. He threw a 28-yard TD strike in the first quarter to put the Broncos up 14-0. The Bookmakers are giving to many points to the Chiefs since they surrender 26 points per game. This game will be decided within 4 points. |

NFL 100 DIME WISEGUY GOY BROWNS +9.5 I am taking the points with the Browns in this one. The Browns have been very competitive in all but one of their losses. Two of their defeats occurred in overtime, and they lost by only three points in New Orleans in week two, plus they tied the Steelers 21-21 in week one. The Browns are tied for first in the NFL with 11 interceptions on the season, and they picked off Ben Roethlisberger three times in week one. Also, the Steelers have received minimal production from their running game in Bell’s absence. They are only averaging 88 rushing yards per game, ranking them 26th in the NFL, and Bell has yet to report to the Steelers. Furthermore, Cleveland features a productive running game that ranks fifth in the NFL with an average of 135 rushing yards per game, and they were able to accumulate 177 rushing yards and two rushing TD’s against the Steelers in week one. The Browns should do enough on both sides of the ball to keep this one close. |

Their pass defense still ranks #1, while their rush defense is scuffling. Despite their struggles, the Jaguars are only one game out of first place in the AFC South, and they are currently averaging 16.6 points, ranking them down at 29th in the NFL. They are holding opponents to 20.9 points, pegging them ninth in the NFL. I like the Jaguars to pull out of the slump and pull the victory here. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME NAVY +24 The Midshipmen need to get right, and unfortunately they're in the midst of a four-game stretch where the opponents combined record is 26-2. Malcolm Perry got banged up in the 49-36 shootout loss at Houston, and the Irish have had an extra week to prepare for Navy's offense. It's tough to imagine Navy having much success -- though if you are looking for a trend that could favor the out-of-nowhere upset, eight of Navy's 13 wins in the series have come at neutral sites -- but there is going to be plenty to build on for the rest of the AAC schedule after going up against one of the best teams in the country. A strong performance from Navy's defense would be very encouraging, particularly considering the high-flying UCF Knights are coming right around the corner. This game will be decided by 2 touchdowns. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME TEXAS A&M +1.5 Texas A&M and Mississippi State are now going in different directions this season with the Bulldogs spiraling towards mediocrity while the Aggies have improved each week. The national spotlight has rightfully been given to Alabama and LSU, but A&M is lurking in the shadows as a one-loss in-conference team that could grab a share of the SEC West title in a three-way tie with LSU and Alabama. Over the 11-game history between A&M and MSU dating back to 1912, the Bulldogs have a slight edge with a 6–5 series nod. The Aggies are refreshed and have something to play for, while MSU takes the field after a bruising game against LSU. The Aggies by 4 points or more. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME KENTUCKY +7.5 Saying the coaching staff has concerns regarding Terry Wilson would be an understatement. Though he’s 7-1 as a starter, Wilson’s play from the pocket has been far from the leading cause of Kentucky’s success. Though their defense should be able to keep the game from becoming a shootout, the Wildcats’ will need to move the ball downfield in order to win at Mizzou. Benny Snell has had yet another phenomenal season for the Wildcats and their defense has lived beyond expectations. However, without stability under center, it’s difficult for teams to win on the road in the SEC. While Wilson made a few exceptional throws at Florida, he also played one of his worst games as a starter at Texas A&M. The Wildcats are the better team, but this game will be much closer than what it should be. A change at QB seems inevitable, though Wilson could also come out & torch what is the 96th-ranked defense in the country. Final Score: Kentucky 24, Missouri 20 |

In Week 6 vs. Chicago, Tannehill was oddly scratched with a mystery shoulder injury the morning of the game despite practicing most of the week. It was so strange that the NFL opened an investigation. Brock Osweiler played out of his mind in that upset of the Bears. He was still pretty good Sunday, but the Dolphins lost 32-21 at home to Detroit. Miami was gashed for 248 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Detroit had 457 yards total and six scoring drives of at least 63 yards. Osweiler’s top receiver, Albert Wilson, left with a hip injury and is going to be gone a while. He has 26 catches for 391 yards and four scores on the season. Miami is 1-7 ATS in its past eight on the road. Texans win 20-17. Take the points here. |

NFL 100 DIME BOOKIE MISMATCH GOM FALCONS -4 The current over/under of 54.5 points is a challenging mark to decide on, and Bryant being sidelined for this game only adds to the back and forth on which side to take on that pick. Thus, taking the Falcons and laying the six points is the better option at the moment. Even if Atlanta holds out Ridley and Sanu, Ryan still has enough in Jones and Hooper to consistently move the ball down the field, and New York’s defense does not make enough big plays to help its offense in the form of turnovers to create short fields. Stopping Barkley will be a huge challenge for the Falcons, and whether he causes them to deviate from their Cover-3 will be something to watch. If the Falcons can do something big early on either side of the ball, that can turn into a feeding frenzy that triggers an easy victory given how fragile the Giants appear to be at the moment.

CFB BOOKIE BLOWOUT 100 DIME GAME VIRGINIA TECH -5.5 Ryan Willis is coming through. He might not have pulled off the win over Notre Dame last week, but that was hardly his fault. Okay, so he wasn’t amazing, but he threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns and a pick to at least move the offense a little bit. That was coming off a 332-yard, three touchdown day in the win over Duke. North Carolina’s pass defense has actually been okay – the issues are on the other side. Over the four games, the offense has only scored more than 19 points once, it’s a disaster on third downs, and there’s no consistent downfield passing game. Outside of a few runs by Notre Dame’s Dexter Williams, the Virginia Tech run defense is excellent. If the Tar Heels don’t get things moving on the ground, the offense isn’t going anywhere.

CFB 100 DIME INSIDE MOVE GOW OREGON +3.5 I am taking the points with Oregon in this one. The Washington offense has yet to find a rhythm, and they are only averaging 22.7 points in their three road games on the season. Oregon features an outstanding rush defense that is limiting opponents to only 112 rushing yards per game, so they should be able to neutralize Myles Gaskin and a Huskies running game that has not played to their full potential yet this season. In addition, the Ducks’ offense has consistently put up points in all five games led by Justin Herbert who has collected 15 touchdown passes on the season. The Huskies’ rush defense has been average, ranking 41st in the country, and the Oregon running game is averaging a sizzling 216 rushing yards per game led by CJ Verdell. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME South Florida -7.5 I think this is a huge statement game for USF. It is national attention, and for Black Friday hype against UCF, a win in dominant fashion is a must. I think USF will come out firing against Tulsa. Barnett will be the star of the game, proving he was worthy of the five-star rating. If Tulsa can get the run game going and can take time off the clock, I think it could be a low-scoring affair like last year. With that said, give me the Bulls by double digits. South Florida by 2 touch downs. |

NFL 75 DIME GOW TITANS -3 Starting quarterback Marcus Mariota didn’t play last weekend against the Houston Texans and is iffy to suit up against Jacksonville in Week 3. Backup QB Blaine Gabbert has a chance to take down Jacksonville, the team that took him with the 10th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, for the second time in two years. Gabbert started under centre for the Arizona Cardinals when the AFC West club topped the Jaguars 27-24 last season. The journeyman signal caller has craved a place for himself in the league as a serviceable backup and a decent option for spot starts. He’s 3-3 with seven TD passes and six interceptions in his last six career starts with the Titans and Cardinals. |

CFB 100 DIME GOY WISCONSIN -17 Wisconsin leads the Big Ten with time of possession, keeping the ball for over 35 minutes per game. And now the Badgers have had two weeks off to rest up that dinged up O line. Nebraska is dead last in the Big Ten in time of possession, keeping it for under 28 minutes a game mostly because Martinez and company can’t convert on third down chances. You know what the Badgers are going to do, and the Nebraska defensive front can’t stop it. The Huskers have allowed four rushing touchdowns in each of the last two games, and now they’re going to get steamrolled over by the rested Wisconsin offensive front. Wisconsin by 28 points |

ODU should have some success here through the air, and although Singletary could feast on the ground, the Monarchs should easily be able to keep this game within the number. Take ODU plus the points with confidence here. |

CFB 75 DIME GAME SYRACUSE -3 As Clemson found out, this Syracuse defense isn’t all that bad. It’s as strong as it’s been in years, and now, the Orange have the right mix under Dino Babers to be good enough to not just hang with a team like Clemson, but actually come really, really close to beating it on the road. It all starts with the defensive front and a great pass rush that’s been able to crank up ten sacks over the last two weeks and generate consistent pressure against the good offensive lines, much less the weaker ones. The Pitt offensive front isn’t all that bad, but it’s not doing anything for a woeful running game that’s not able to find anything that consistently works. And that’s the big problem for the Panthers – the lines aren’t playing well enough. That goes hand-in-hand with being second-to-last in the ACC in both offense and defense. The Orange D is getting the job done, and the O is working, too, scoring 30 points or more in every game but the loss to Clemson – no shame in only putting up 23 points in Death Valley. |

Texas will seem like it always has the ball, and it’ll be in control of the game, but it’ll get hit with just enough Oklahoma home runs to keep it close. Texas will play really, really well, but it won’t be able to put the game away. When pressed, Murray will overcome a frustrating first three quarters with two fourth quarter touchdown drives to take the game back. The Texas drives that ended with field goals instead of touchdowns will be haunting. By 3 points |

HIGH ROLLER 100 DIME GAME BILLS +9.5 The Packers have yet to play a clean game, but Aaron Rodgers is finally practicing during the week, and he does, in fact, stir the drink that is the offense according to Mike McCarthy. Similarly, don’t be fooled by Pettine’s calm demeanor at press conferences: he’s going to be motivated to get a faster start from his defense. With Oren Burks healthy, Josh Jones hopefully healthy, and Bryan Bulaga healthy enough (he practiced Thursday), the Packers should have enough firepower to put up points on the Bills’ defense and make life tough for rookie quarterback Josh Allen. PACKERS 28-24 |

CFB 100 DIME GAME OREGON -2 Cal's defeat of BYU is certainly impressive in hindsight. The Golden Bears proved they can outlast a physical, defensive-minded team and take advantage of question marks on offense. Oregon is an entirely different opponent. Defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt has introduced a more smash-mouth approach on defense, but the Ducks can and will continue to push the pace when on offense. Oregon can get out to a fast start and dictate the tempo, Cal is much less equipped to rally than Stanford a week ago. The first few possessions should reveal much about both teams. This is Cal's opportunity to score a marquee win and announce itself as a Pac-12 title contender. Oregon can rebound in as much of a must-win scenario as a team can face in September. Oregon pulls the money win here. |

But no matter how I have looked at this game, it is tough to see a way that South Carolina wins at Kroger Field on Saturday. Kentucky is better on paper. They are the more physical team. They have the momentum. After looking at every angle, I think the Wildcats are going to have to lay an egg to lose this one. If Kentucky does walk away with a win and they strut into College Station at 5-0, the hype around this team will be out of control. They will be knocking on the top 10 and Benny Snell will take another leap in the Heisman race. I, for one, am here for all of that. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA ATLANTIC -3 It was about at this point last year when the machine turned on, but the offense has already started to work. The defense struggled against UCF and Oklahoma, but that’s UCF and Oklahoma. This is where the Middle Tennessee passing game rocks, cranking up at least 250 yards at a 65% clip with three touchdowns throws. But the FAU running game is working. Running for 376 yards and six scores against Bethune-Cookman is one thing, but coming up with 320 yards and four touchdowns against UCF is another. The FAU offense will do just a wee bit more in a wild firefight. Get ready for a whole lot of tempo swings and a lot of points, but the Middle Tennessee defense will have a harder time getting off the field. |

CFB 100 DIME GAME TEXAS TECH +4 Honestly, my preseason predictions had Texas Tech starting 7-0 before a massive collapse to finish sixth. Obviously, I had Tech winning this game. West Virginia’s defense has looked good in its first three games, but they still gave up way too many points to Youngstown State. Quite frankly the turnover situation is going to be a major difference. Tech’s defense prides itself on turnovers. In a game featuring two gunslinging, air raid offenses, turnovers are everything. Each missed opportunity becomes points the other direction. Give me the better defense. |

HIGH ROLLER 100 DIME GOM CHARGERS +7 Biggest challenge yet for the Rams will be this week. It’s been a long time since the Rams have started off 3-0, and it will by no means be an easy feat this week. Chargers QB Phillip Rivers is a surefire first class hall of fame player, and still playing like he’s in his prime. He’s a bad boy, and one of my favorite QB’s of my lifetime. He’s surrounded by talent in RB Melvin Gordon, WR’s Keenan Allen and Travis Benjamin, change-of-pace back Austin Eckler, and a solid offensive line. Aside from that they have one of five best front sevens in the NFL. However, their secondary (which is really good) is banged up. This could be a game where Todd Gurley sees about 7-9 targets out of the backfield. If so he might go off in the second half. Rams defense has their hands full but the Rams offense has some holes to exploit due to injuries on the Chargers defense. Could be looking at a shootout, which is the wrong time to lose Greg Zuerlein. This is more evenly matched than people are giving it credit for being. I’m going Rams because when it’s even homer-ism kicks in. Prediction: Rams win, 30-27 |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME IOWA +3.5 This was always going to be one of the tough hurdles for Wisconsin to clear this season if the Badgers were going to make a playoff push. After losing last week, Wisconsin cannot afford to lose again now that conference play is opening, but winning on the road in Kinnick Stadium is not easy for anybody. Iowa has the tools in place to go head to head with Wisconsin but will need quarterback Nate Stanley to shrug off a disaster of a game against Wisconsin last season. Odds are, Stanley is not going to complete just 8-of-24 pass attempts for 41 yards this time around. He doesn’t have to throw five touchdowns as he did against Ohio State last year, but Stanley should be able to lead enough effective drives at home to give Iowa a chance to jump on top of the Big Ten West standings and secure a win against Wisconsin. |

The defense looks really good, and they are younger and a lot faster. The Broncos are going to start Keenum, who is not the greatest QB. Keenum has some new targets on the recieving side, and this is the issue i see in this game. The Broncos will struggle against the run, and will try to keep the ball in the air.

But you never know when a Bill Snyder team is just playing possum after the week one struggle. Was this a case of their getting caught looking ahead to this game? If you’re a Wildcat fan, you hope so. One thing is for sure, any kind of repeat of last week’s 13-penalty, four-turnover effort and KSU will get taken to the woodshed quickly. It will be a wild environment in the Little Apple but don’t look for the Bulldogs to crumble. This is an uber-experienced team that returned 93 percent of its offense from a year ago and also 77 percent of its tackles on defense. Though he may have to knock off some rust early on, Nick Fitzgerald’s return will be a shot of confidence for Mississippi State. But one thing to keep in mind, Kansas State QB Skylar Thompson was the field general for three come-from-behind victories last year and pulled the trick again vs. South Dakota last week.

The Bears showed signs of improvement in Justin Wilcox's first season as head coach and appear well positioned to take another step forward in 2018. Ross Bowers is the Pac-12's leading returning passer (253.3 ypg) and he should pair with running back Patrick Laird to form a productive, it not potent, offensive tandem. North Carolina is looking to erase the bad taste of 2017 from its mouth, but Larry Fedora is already having to deal with 13 different players who have been suspended for varying lengths. The Tar Heels are inexperienced on offense and their issues stopping the run on defense have been well documented.

While the Cougars have more proven players at the skilled positions on offense, this game has all the makings of a gritty, defensive struggle.

NFL 150 DIME GOY EAGLES +3.5 I am taking the points with the Eagles in this contest. The Eagles defense was tremendous against the Falcons last week and they should be able to neutralize the Vikings offense as well. They feature the best rush defense in the NFL as they allowed an average of only 79 rushing yards per game in the regular season, and they were able to hold the Falcons strong running game to only 86 rushing yards last week. In addition, the Eagles were able to contain Matt Ryan last week by holding him to 210 passing yards, and they should able to do the same against Case Keenum. Furthermore, Nick Foles showed great poise in the second half last week, and the Eagles potent running game is strong enough to do damage. The Vikings did allow the Saints to go 3 for 4 in the red zone, and the Eagles defense had the better performance of these two teams last week. The Eagles are on their home field, and their defense will be the deciding factor in this one. The Eagles are very tough to beat at home, and the last eight NFC and AFC Championship games have all been won by the home team. Eagles 11-3 ATS vs Vikings Vikings 1-7 on the road SU against the Eagles. Eagles 23, Vikings 13 |

12-28-17 | Virginia Tech v. Oklahoma State -4 | Top | 21-30 | Win | 100 | 66 h 42 m | Show |
COLLEGE BOOK BOOKIE KILLER GOY OKLAHOMA ST -4 This looks like it could be a very difficult game for Virginia Tech. Quarterback Josh Jackson did not have a great second half of the season throwing the ball and now his main target will be in street clothes. It would be nice to rely on the running game, but the Hokies have had an inconsistent ground attack this season and the strength of the Oklahoma State defense is stopping the run. The Cowboys are terrible at defending the pass, but Tech doesn’t have the weapons to effectively exploit this weakness. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State is going to score. Mason Rudolph, James Washington and Marcell Ateman are all playing their final collegiate game and will be motivated to go out in a big way. The Virginia Tech defense is very good, but has not faced a passing game as dynamic and explosive as Oklahoma State’s. The closest comparison would be West Virginia in the season opener when Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier threw for 371 yards in the 31-24 loss. The Cowboys won’t get to 40 points on the Hokies’ defense. But they will get a lot closer to that number than Virginia Tech will. OKLAHOMA ST 31-17 |

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME MEGA MOVE MISSOURI -2.5 I don’t like Texas in this game for two reasons. One, the defense is facing an offense that loves to go vertical as much as, say, Oklahoma State. Not only has Texas had issues defending the deep ball late in the year, three key pieces from the defense that stymied the Cowboys won’t be on the field (DeShon Elliott, Holton Hill and Malik Jefferson). Two, the offense is going to have a tough time following the blueprint to win the game by running the ball consistently and controlling the clock to protect the defense and keep Drew Lock and Co. off the field. Missouri, statistically anyway, is a similar defense to Texas Tech in that you can run on them but it’s going to take some time. The Longhorns will have to chip away and eventually the dam will break. But Missouri has better personnel than Texas Tech and considering the absences on the Texas side of the field, Terry Beckner Jr.might be the best NFL prospect on the field. I’m a firm believer in Tom Herman and his ability to have a team ready to play, so I won’t be the least bit surprised if this game is tight late and the Longhorns have a chance to win. But Texas is starting this race with less than a full tank, and I don’t see the Longhorns being able to have enough left to finish the job. Missouri 34, Texas 27 |

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA -3 Arizona has been a fairly wild team this season. On offense, they average 495 yards and 41.8 points per game. On defense, they allow 467 yards as an average. They’ve had to score a ton in order to get these victories, and that’s started to turn on them in the last month. In the opposite spectrum of their bowl opponent, they lost three of their last four games and gave up 42 points or more in all of those defeats. The lone win was over a very bad team in Oregon State. While the team may not be that great, they’re unquestionably fun to watch, especially quarterback Khalil Tate. He’s listed as probable despite nursing a shoulder injury, and he’s the obvious make-or-break player for the team. In the air, he’s posted an adequate 1,289 passing yards and a ratio of nine touchdowns to eight picks. On the ground, he adds another 1,353 yards and 12 more scores. He averages more yards on the ground per play than in the air. The key in this game is the offense. Purdue doesn't have much to offer. They are just 1-5 ATS. I have Arizona winning 34-23. |

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GOLD GOY IOWA -2.5 Iowa’s run defense is good enough to battle the Eagles for four quarters. But Iowa can win with its pass rush and pass defense. The Eagles rank 114th in passing with 162.8 yards per game. Starting quarterback Anthony Brown missed the last two games and won’t play in this one, either. Senior Darius Wade will start the Pinstripe Bowl and he has performed admirably in Brown’s absence. This year, Wade has completed 46 of 75 passes for 528 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Sophomore defensive end Anthony Nelson has paced the Hawkeyes’ pass rush with 6 sacks this season. Senior linebacker Josey Jewell and freshman defensive end A.J. Epenesa chipped in with 4.5 sacks each. The Hawkeyes’ pass rush has helped the secondary flourish with 19 interceptions, tied for second-most nationally. Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson has 25 passes defensed with 7 interceptions and was named a unanimous first-team All-American. Iowa wins 24-16. |
