11/15 CFB FREEBIES
UCONN +(10) VS. WAKE FOREST 3:30 EST
It?s hard not to give the nod to the traveling Huskies, especially when they?re grabbing double digits. They were 6-0 ATS on the road a year ago, and have gone 3-2 SU & ATS this year. This is their last regular season game of the year, and HC Edsall will have them pumped for their finale before joining the Big East next season. The Huskies have better numbers on both sides of the ball than the Deacons, and I see no reason why they should be tagged as such big dawgs in this pot. I give them an excellent shot at winning SU, and improving their record to a phenomenal 9-3 SU.
NORTHWESTERN (+17?) VS. MICHIGAN 12:00 EST
MICHIGAN/NORTHWESTERN UNDER 47
Don?t look now, but the purple people eaters from Evanston, IL are playing some solid ball. Their defense has given up a total of 14 points in its L/2 home games, and last weeks rally in the 4th to beat PSU will have this squad very confident for the visiting Wolverines. The Wildcats come into this one at 5-5 with 2 games left on the docket. They?ll put forth a gigantic effort today, and give Michigan all they can handle. The last time Michigan strolled into Evanston, the Wildcats won a barnburner 54-51. That type of game will not be the case today, as the UNW will concentrate on playing sound defense & shutting down Chris Perry. Points will be at a premium this afternoon, and I foresee this one being closer than the experts think. UNW is 6-1 ATS the L/7 times they?ve smashed helmets with Michigan.
MIZZOU (?13) VS. TEXAS A&M 2:00 EST
The Tigers really let one get away from them last week in Boulder as they dominated the Buffs statistically on both sides of the ball. Now they get to return home to welcome in a squad that just got pasted by the Sooners 77-0. This Aggie squad has been downright atrocious on the road this season, while the Tigers have dismantled all of its opposition in Columbia. The Tigers still have an outside shot of winning the Big 12 North if a plethora of things go their way the next 2 weeks. In order for any of that to take place, they have to take care of business today. I foresee them rolling up this very poor A&M squad, and head to Manhattan with loads of confidence.
PITT (-1) VS. WEST VIRGINIA 12:00 EST
The Panthers are 3 games away from making me look real good after I predicted them to win the Big East in my pre-season write-ups. They?re coming off a huge win at home over VTECH for the third straight year. Hopefully they haven?t been reading their press clippings all week, and will invade Morgantown all business. They?ve come to far to let down in this spot, and they should be able to get the job done vs. a hobbled Mounty?s squad. They haven?t fared well against WV ATS, but they have won and covered 2 of the L/3 years. The visitor has dominated the Backyard Brawl going 11-3 ATS, and only having to lay a point on the road means we need the Panthers to win the game SU. They should be able to take care of business, and take 1 step closer to winning the Big East.
KENT ST/BOWLING GREEN OVER 59 6:00 EST
The BG Falcons were pretty much embarrassed their last time out, and should get healthy against a very porous Kent defense. QB Harris should have himself a field day against Kent?s pass defense that gives up over 280 YPG. Throw the fact that the Golden Flashes give up over 180 YPG, and you can bet your bottom dollar the Falcons are going to be able to score at will with a balanced attack. Kent was humiliated a year ago without their leader 45-14. He?s back this season, and QB Cribbs has been a thorn in every defenses side he?s gone up against. This will be a fun battle of the QB?s to watch, and the scoreboard in BG just might blow up!!!!

NCAA 11/15
BC @ RUTGERS
The Scarlet Knights are the sweethearts of Las Vegas bettors this season as they have cashed in 9 consecutive games! Rutgers has also ?covered? seven of its last nine at home and 12 of 16 as underdogs. While their opponents the Eagles have failed to cash a ticket for their betting backers in their last four tilts. Bottom line
iss poor Eagles secondary will get lit up by Scarlet Knights passing attack! Rutgers cashes again!
Rutgers +7.5
TEXAS A&M at MISSOURI
Tigers are 10-3 ATS L13 as home favorites of 10 ? to 21. Texas A&M has failed to get the pesos in 14 of their last 17 as road dogs . Missouri is 5-0 at home this season! Bottom line: Texas A& Ms once proud run defense has become less than formidable and is allowing 195 yes per game! Look for Tigers to pound the ball up the gut today on a consistent basis on their way to a lopsided win vs. a sleepy looking Aggies squad!
Missouri- 13
KANSAS STATE @ NEBRASKA
Nebraska is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 home games and 31-13 SU in Lincoln versus conference competitors and currently 6-0 this season! I can?t remember the last time Kansas State won at Lincoln! Not giving anybody a lesson in football 101, but in most gridiron tilts turnovers and penalties decides games ! Nebraska is the best at making teams give up the ball via the turnover(39 this season) while Kansas State is given the ball up 24 times this season! Another home win for the Huskers this week!
Take Nebraska +2
NORTHERN ILLINOIS @ TOLEDO
The Rockets have won nine straight and cashed 8 of nine of those contests against Northern Illinois . NIU has not beat Toledo since 1989!Toledo's formidable QB Gradkowski and company will pull off another Toledo upset special this Saturday.
Take the Rockets
CONNECTICUT @ WAKE FOREST
Connecticut has ?covered? 14 of its last 17 on the road and 10 of 12 as a dog. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have failed to cash as favs in 11 of their L14 chalk props.
Take UCONN plus the points
