Buffalo -6 vs. Rutgers
Rutgers has been down right unimpressive this season coming off back to back blowout loses 52-3 against Ohio St and 55-14 and Kansas. Yes the Kansas Jayhawks which many people pegged as a bottom feeder of FBS. Buffalo is 3-0 and 2-1 ATS barely missing a 44 point cover. Sitkowski who is Rutgers True Freshmen quarterback has been going through some growing pains 33/67 on the season with 1 TD and 7 interceptions. On the Flip side Tyree Jackson has almost 800 yards and an impressive 12-1 TD to Int Ratio. The Bulls should be able to get turnovers and quality field possession as they are +6 in turnovers compared to -9 for the Scarlet Knights. Buffalo barely missed a bowl last season and with Army on deck. They know every win counts going into conference play.Line opened up -3 still value at -6.
Wisconsin vs. Iowa
Wisconsin lost to BYU this past week and kissed their National Championship dreams away. I don’t think they want to destroy their chances of a New Years 6 Bowl in week 4 of the College Football season. Wisconsin is going to rely on one thing at this Hornibrook handing it off to Taylor. Iowa is only giving up roughly 60 yards per game on the ground however they haven’t seen a back like Taylor yet. They faced running backs from NIU, Northern Iowa and Iowa St to open up the season. This game opened up at -5 in the game of the year lines. I think the BYU loss was a reality check for Wisconsin and believe they will be focused on Saturday. Give me Wisconsin up to -5.
South Carolina -2.5 vs Vanderbilt
First and foremost Vanderbilt has no home field advantage and struggles to pack their stadium and South Carolina will travel in this SEC showdown. South Carolina is the more talented team in this matchup and I expect them to have some explosive plays and win the turnover battle in this game. South Carolina also is extra rested after Hurricane Florence canceled their last game and will being playing for some extra pride this week. Give me the Gamecocks.
TCU -3 vs. Texas
TCU has done everything they are supposed to do this season. They won their first game against Southern 55-7, beat up on SMU 42-17 and covered against Ohio St. Texas lost to Maryland squeaked our a win against Tulsa and beat USC. Kind of an up and down year for Texas. Recent history points to TCU winning 5 out of the last 6. The narrowest win coming in 2012 when TCU won 20-13. I believe in a game like this the deciding factor can be at quarterback and Shawn Robinson has played well all season even out over 300 against Ohio state and should take advantage of a Texas defense that gives 5.19 per play.
Alabama vs. Texas A&M +26
The thought of going against Saban is absolutely brutal but I feel comfortable in this spot. Texas A&M led by Jimbo Fisher are sound on offense. They average roughly 7.45 yard per play. Which is a positive against a good Alabama defense. They should be able to make plays and score to keep this game close. I do believe people are forgetting that when A&M played Clemson on the 8th they only lost by 2 points should have even been won the game. Texas A&M has the recruits and athletes to keep this game close enough. I think Bama money will come in closer to game time as they are a huge public team.
WSU vs. USC -4.5
If the Trojans need a statement win this year it is now. USC is coming of a horrific loss last week to Texas where they played terrible. WSU on the other hand is flying up everyone power rankings with impressive wins. However those wins were only against Eastern Washington, San Jose State and Wyoming. JT Daniels USC quarterback is young and will continue to improve and get more comfortable leading one of the most prolific college football teams in the country. The Game of the years line had this game at 15.5 and while I do think WSU has improved and USC hasn’t played well I think USC will get up for this spot with their season on the ropes.
