Lockarm.- Thanks I am really thinking in be out of this game, but looks like the Kansas ST game, domination by years of the favorite, but I do not know what scares, just a thought
Stuman.- With Boise St thinking in a sweet revenge is a very good play, but the problem to me there is if Rice can have a real secret to retain the Boise St offense, the memory is very strong!!.
Arkansas on the road Vs a good defense, such a dificult spot, I will be looking more facts
Both thanks, keep in touch, what do you think about my last for now picks?? WV, Neb, USC, Wy, SJSt??

NOTRE DAME (-30) versus NAVY at Baltimore: Its hopes of an unbeaten season dashed last week by BC, the Fighting Irish try to regroup against punch- less Navy (1-7 SU, 2-5-1 ATS). Notre Dame (8-1 SU, 7-1-1 ATS) has dominated the series in the win column but has dropped 10 of its last 14 versus the Midshipmen ATS. The Fighting Irish have cashed in six of their last seven at neutral sites, however.
BC at WEST VIRGINIA (-3): Boston College (5-3 SU, 4-4 ATS) could be in for a fall after one of its biggest wins in school history last week. The Eagles have lost four in a row at West Virginia (6-3 SU, 6-2 ATS) and are just 5-16 ATS in the last 21 series battles. The Mountaineers blew away Temple, 46-20, in their last trip to the post, and after a blowout conference win by 21 points or more are 14-4 ATS the following week. WVU is 3-1 ATS in Morgantown this season. Boston College is 16-7-1 ATS in its last 24 Big East outings.
TEMPLE at PITT (-19 ?): After stunning previously unbeaten Virginia Tech last week, Pittsburgh (7-2 SU, 6-3 ATS) could have trouble rising to the occasion against spunky Temple (3-6 SU, 4-4 ATS). The Owls have ?covered? six of its last eight against the more talented Panthers as a series dog. In fact the underdog has cashed in 10 of the last 13 confrontations between the Big East rivals. Pittsburgh, after playing Notre Dame, BC and the Hokies the last three weeks and still having clashes with Miami and West Virginia on tap, may have trouble taking Temple seriously. The Panthers have won and cashed in four of the last five in Philly, however.
CLEMSON (-9?) at NORTH CAROLINA: Both teams look to salvage something from disappointing seasons. Clemson (5-4 SU, 3-5-1 ATS) had shown a tendency to play down to the level of its competition, dropping seven of eight ATS against terrible teams. North Carolina (2-7 SU&ATS) is only 1-6 ATS in Chapel Hill facing teams with a winning record, however. The Tar Heels, have cashed in four of its last five at home against the Tigers but are 0-5 ATS at home this season and 1-6 ATS in their last seven, overall. Clemson is 0-4-1 ATS in its last five outings and 1-5 ATS in its last six as road favorites of between 7 ? and 14 points. The SU winner is 14-2-1 ATS in the last 17 series tussles.
VIRGINIA at PENN ST (-13): The Cavaliers saw their six-game winning streak screech to a halt two weeks ago at Georgia Tech. Virginia (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) faces the toughest part of its schedule the next four weeks, hosting North Carolina State and Maryland before finishing up on the road against Virginia Tech. Penn State, on the other hand, has already played the meat of its schedule and will close things out at Indiana and at home against Michigan State. The Cavaliers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six against teams with a winning record and 13-29 ATS on the road after the first month of the season. Virginia is 4-1 ATS as a dog in 2002 but only 4-13 ATS on the highway following a bye week.
NORTH CAROLINA ST at MARYLAND (-4 ?): This could be the most competitive game on the menu this week. North Carolina State (8-1 SU, 5-3 ATS) saw its dreams for an unbeaten season dashed last week by Georgia Tech. Now they have to travel to College Park to face Maryland (7-2 SU, 6-2 ATS), one of the hottest teams in the land. The Terrapins have won six in a row by an average margin of 35.5 points per game and have now ?covered? 13 straight as a favorite. Maryland is 14-5 ATS in ACC play and 10-2 ATS as home favorites. The series underdog, however, has come away with the money at a 13-3-1 clip in the last 17 series encounters. The Wolfpack has cashed six straight as road dogs, and are 4-0 ATS on the highway this season. They are also 3-1-1 SU in their last five visits to Maryland.
VIRGINIA TECH (-14 ?) at SYRACUSE: After getting a vote of confidence from the powers that be at Syracuse (3-6 SU, 3-5 ATS), coach Paul Pasqualoni led his charges to a come-from-behind win at Central Florida. The Orangemen return to Big East play this week and the competition gets a little tougher. Virginia Tech (8-1 SU, 5-4 ATS) figures to be in a nasty mood after suffering its first loss of the season. The Hokies have had plenty of trouble against Syracuse on the road, losing and failing in five of the last six. They have been held to 16.3 points per game in their last six visits. The home team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. The Hokies are 0-4 ATS in their last four after beginning the 2002 season with five straight ATS successes.
NORTHWESTERN at IOWA (-27 ?): The Hawkeyes have held their last three opponents to a total of 20 points, silencing critics who doubted their defensive prowess. Iowa (9-1 SU, 7-2-1 ATS) has covered four in a row and six of its last seven. They have won 18 of 22 against Northwestern (3-7 SU, 5-5 ATS), cashing on 14 occasions. The Hawkeyes have prospered as big favorites, getting the money at an 11-2-1 clip when giving up 21 points or more and in six of seven as home chalk of 21 ? or more. Iowa has also ?covered? five of six in Big-10 play this season and five of its last six against teams with a losing record. The series underdog has prevailed in five of the last six meetings.
ILLINOIS at WISCONSIN (-6) The Badgers have ?covered? seven of their last 10 against Illinois (3-6 SU, 4-4-1 ATS). Wisconsin (6-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) has underachieved as home favorites, however, coming up short in four of six this season and 14 of 19 the last three years. The Badgers are 1-4 ATS in their last five outings while the Fighting Illini have ?covered? three in a row. In 10 of the last 14 series tests the teams have combined to score 40 points or less.
OHIO ST (-6 ?) at PURDUE: The Buckeyes stifling defense may be too much for Purdue (4-5 SU, 4-3-1 ATS). Ohio State (10-0 SU, 7-2 ATS) has held it last nine opponents to an average of 11.9 points per game after giving up 21 to Texas Tech in its season opener. The Buckeyes have cashed in six of their last seven against the Boilermakers, including six straight as a favorite, prevailing by an average score of 35-13. Ohio State is 20-11 ATS on the road in conference play. Purdue has cashed four of its last five while the Buckeyes are on a four-game ATS winning binge.
MICHIGAN ST at INDIANA (-1 ?): Morris Watts takes over the reins at Michigan State (3-6 SU, 1-8 ATS) from Bobby Williams after its worst loss in 55 years last week. The Spartans crushed EMU in its season opener and haven?t ?covered? since, dropping eight in a row. Indiana (3-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) has lost six of its last eight SU against MSU, splitting ATS. Both clubs are 1-5 ATS against opponents with a losing record. The Hoosiers have come up short in their last three ATS.
MISSISSIPPI at GEORGIA (-14): The Bulldogs look to rebound after suffering their first loss of the season against a Mississippi (5-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) they have dominated in the past. Georgia (8-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) has won five straight against the Rebels and cashed at a 4-1 clip, outscoring them by a 132-77 count. Ole Miss has managed to get the money in three of its last four visits to Athens. They are only 1-6 as road dogs the last three seasons, however, and 0-3 ATS on the road in 2002. The Bulldogs have prevailed in five of seven as favorites this year but are only 12-26 ATS at home in SEC play, overall.
ARKANSAS at SOUTH CAROLINA (PK): The Razorbacks have been bet up to a road favorite in this one and they haven?t handled that burden well in the past. Arkansas (6-2 SU&ATS) has come up short in six straight on the highway as favorites of seven points or less. They have cashed in three of their last four against South Carolina (5-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) and five of their last seven on the road, however. The favorite has ?covered? in seven of the last eight series encounters. The Gamecocks are 2-9 ATS at home versus good teams.

MICHIGAN ST at INDIANA (-1 ?): Morris Watts takes over the reins at Michigan State (3-6 SU, 1-8 ATS) from Bobby Williams after its worst loss in 55 years last week. The Spartans crushed EMU in its season opener and haven?t ?covered? since, dropping eight in a row. Indiana (3-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) has lost six of its last eight SU against MSU, splitting ATS. Both clubs are 1-5 ATS against opponents with a losing record. The Hoosiers have come up short in their last three ATS.
MISSISSIPPI at GEORGIA (-14): The Bulldogs look to rebound after suffering their first loss of the season against a Mississippi (5-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) they have dominated in the past. Georgia (8-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) has won five straight against the Rebels and cashed at a 4-1 clip, outscoring them by a 132-77 count. Ole Miss has managed to get the money in three of its last four visits to Athens. They are only 1-6 as road dogs the last three seasons, however, and 0-3 ATS on the road in 2002. The Bulldogs have prevailed in five of seven as favorites this year but are only 12-26 ATS at home in SEC play, overall.
ARKANSAS at SOUTH CAROLINA (PK): The Razorbacks have been bet up to a road favorite in this one and they haven?t handled that burden well in the past. Arkansas (6-2 SU&ATS) has come up short in six straight on the highway as favorites of seven points or less. They have cashed in three of their last four against South Carolina (5-4 SU, 3-6 ATS) and five of their last seven on the road, however. The favorite has ?covered? in seven of the last eight series encounters. The Gamecocks are 2-9 ATS at home versus good teams. The Razorbacks have cashed in four of their last five in 2002 and 13 of 19 dating back to last season.
CFU (-17) at BUFFALO: Central Florida (3-5 SU, 3-4 ATS) blew a golden opportunity for its first win against a Big-East club when it allowed Syracuse to come from behind, 38-35. The Knights are in the midst of a three-game ATS losing streak, thought they have cashed three of four on the road this year. Buffalo (1-8 SU, 4-4 ATS) has lost seven in a row since drubbing Rutgers, 34-11 on Sept. 7. The Bulls have failed in three of their last four ATS and three of four at home in 2002.
EMU at WMU (-23 ?): The home team has ?covered? the last three series meetings.

The Eagles are 1-6 as underdogs this season and have come up short in nine straight ATS on grass. The Broncos are 1-6 ATS in their last seven tries against bad teams.
LSU (-4) at KENTUCKY: The Tigers had last week off to regroup after seeing their six-game winning streak halted by Auburn, 31-7. LSU (6-2 SU, 5-2 ATS) is 3-10-1 ATS in its last 14 against Kentucky (6-3 SU&ATS), coming up short in four of the last five ATS in Lexington. The Tigers have ?covered? five of their last six against good teams. The Wildcats have lost two straight at home and are just 6-11 SU there the last three seasons. Kentucky has also dropped 17 of its last 26 ATS in Lexington since ?98.
KANSAS at NEBRASKA (-34): The Cornhuskers get their final breather of a disappointing season before traveling to Kansas State and facing Colorado at home. Nebraska (6-4 SU, 4-5 ATS) has ?covered? five straight at home against downtrodden Kansas (2-8 SU, 2-6-1 ATS), winning by a combined score of 254-48. The Jayhawks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 against the Huskers. They have also dropped nine of their last 10 ATS in road finales.
COLORADO (-4 ?) at MISSOURI: After losing to Oklahoma last week and with Iowa State and Nebraska up next, Colorado (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS) could take this week?s opponent lightly. Missouri (4-5 SU, 6-3 ATS) needs one more victory for its best season since ?98 and it has been competitive against the big boys of the Big 12 this season. The Tigers are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in Columbia this season. The Buffaloes have won eight of their last 10 against Missouri but are only 3-7 ATS, cashing in the last two meetings. Points should be plentiful as the Tigers are averaging 36.3 points in their last three games and Colorado had averaged 38 points per game in its last five before being shut down by Oklahoma. The two rivals have combined to average 62 points per game in the last six confrontations.
OKLAHOMA ST at TEXAS TECH (-8 ?): Texas Tech (6-4 SU, 5-5 ATS) is double tough in Lubbock, ?covering? at a 31-14-1 clip in the role of favorites. This season the Red Raiders have averaged 51 points per game in four outings on their home turf. Oklahoma State (4-4 SU, 4-3 ATS) is fresh off two of the biggest wins in school history at home over Nebraska and Texas A&M.

Oklahoma State has lost and failed in its last three against Texas Tech and in five of the last six meetings ATS. The Cowboys have lost SU in their three previous road tests this season (1-2 ATS) and are only 12-17 as dogs on the highway since ?95. The Red Raiders are 51-28 ATS in Big-12 play.
BAYLOR at TEXAS (-40): Laying big lumber with Texas (8-1 SU, 3-6 ATS) hasn?t been a wise decision this season. The Longhorns are 1-3 ATS giving up 24 or more points and 0-4 ATS in Austin. Baylor (3-6 SU, 1-6-1 ATS) doesn?t pose much of a threat, under lame duck coach Kevin Steele. After getting off to a promising start with three wins in their first five games, the Bears have hit bottom, getting outscored 181-21 in their last four trips to the post. Baylor has ?covered? three straight at Texas but is 0-6 as underdogs in 2002 and 12-30 ATS against teams with a winning record. In the last three meetings Texas has outscored the Bears, 159-24.
FLORIDA (-20 ?) at VANDERBILT: The Gators have been a shaky play as favorites this year, dropping six of seven ATS. Florida (6-3 SU, 3-6 ATS) could be in for a letdown after upsetting Georgia last week. They have ?covered? three of their last four against Vanderbilt (2-7 SU, 2-5-1 ATS), including two straight in Nashville. Florida has fared well as road chalk, posting a 24-12-1 record over the last seven campaigns. The Commodores are 2-11-1 ATS the week after facing Alabama. They have ?covered? five of their last six versus good teams, however.
AKRON at OHIO (-4): The Zips have won and ?covered? three straight against Ohio (3-6 SU, 5-3 ATS). Akron (2-7 SU, 3-5 ATS) is riding high after one of the biggest upsets in school history, 34-20, over Marshall last week as three touchdown underdogs. The home team has walked away with the money in seven of the last nine series wars.
BGSU at NIU: The two hottest teams in the MAC square off in DeKalb. Northern Illinois (6-3 SU, 7-1 ATS) had last week off to prepare for the unbeaten Falcons. Bowling Green (8-0 SU, 4-3 ATS) has won and cashed in its last two meetings against the Huskies. The Falcons have scored 38 points or more in every game this season but they have come up short in three of their last four ATS. Northern Illinois has ?covered? six in a row and is 3-0 ATS at home in 2002. They have failed in five of their last six against top-level teams, however. NIU has also lost six of its last seven after a bye and averaged only 22.8 points per game.
IOWA ST at KANSAS ST (-10): Iowa State (7-3 SU, 7-2 ATS) hasn?t beaten Kansas State (7-2 SU, 5-2 ATS) since 1993.

Kansas State doesn?t figure to get caught looking ahead to Nebraska, as it has cashed at a 10-3-1 rate with the Huskers up next. The Cyclones are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 against excellent teams.
TULANE at TCU (-10 ?): This is the best Tulane (6-3 SU, 6-2 ATS) team since the unbeaten ?98 edition. But are they good enough to compete with talented TCU (7-1 SU, 4-4 ATS)? The Horned Frogs have won seven in a row since losing their season opener at Cincinnati and have outscored their last four opponents by an average of 20 points per game. The Green Wave have won two in a row against TCU and cashed in the last five series encounters, including the last two in Fort Worth. Tulane is 3-1 ATS on the road this season but just 3-10-1 ATS following its bye week. The Horned Frogs have cashed in seven of their last nine in November. They are 7-1 ATS as home favorites of between 10 ? and 14 points.
SO MISS at UAB: Southern Miss (5-3 SU, 1-5-1 ATS) will be without standout running back Derrick Nix, who was dinged up last week at TCU.

The Blazers have won three of their last four. They are 1-3 ATS as underdogs this season.
ECU at HOUSTON (-1 ?): Houston (4-4 SU, 5-3 ATS) shoots for its first three-game winning streak since ?99.

AIR FORCE (-22) at ARMY: Air Force (6-3 SU&ATS) figures to stop the bleeding against inept Army (0-8 SU, 3-4 ATS) and bring the Commander in Chiefs Trophy back to Colorado Springs. The Falcons have ?covered? four of their last five against the Cadets, including the last two at West Point. Air Force, however, has failed in 12 straight ATS off a loss of 10 points or more to a conference rival. The ?Fly Boys? are a dismal 20-36-1 ATS as road favorites. Army is 1-10 ATS following a bye. They have cashed three of four at home this season and the host team is 14-4 ATS in the last 18 battles between the service academies.
SAN DIEGO ST at NEW MEXICO (-1 ?): The Aztecs have captured their last five against New Mexico on the road (4-5 SU, 3-5 ATS), cashing in three of five.

New Mexico has ?covered? six of its last seven against the Aztecs and it is 10-4 ATS in Albuquerque since ?00. They have also cashed five of their last six against teams with a losing record.
UNLV at UTAH (-8 ?): Utah (2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) coach Ron McBride hopes a visit from UNLV (4-5 SU, 2-6 ATS) is just what the doctor ordered to heal his wounded charges. The Utes have lost six in a row with five of the setbacks coming by eight points or less. Utah has covered three straight against the Rebels by a combined score of 132-44. The Utes are 0-4 ATS in Salt Lake City this year and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 November appearances. UNLV is 1-3 ATS on the road in 2000 after cashing in 13 of its previous 20.

The Tigers are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in Columbia this season. The Buffaloes have won eight of their last 10 against Missouri but are only 3-7 ATS, cashing in the last two meetings. Points should be plentiful as the Tigers are averaging 36.3 points in their last three games and Colorado had averaged 38 points per game in its last five before being shut down by Oklahoma. The two rivals have combined to average 62 points per game in the last six confrontations.
OKLAHOMA ST at TEXAS TECH (-8 ?): Texas Tech (6-4 SU, 5-5 ATS) is double tough in Lubbock, ?covering? at a 31-14-1 clip in the role of favorites.

WYOMING at BYU (-9 ?): There?s been good news and bad news for Wyoming (2-7 SU, 4-3-1 ATS) lately. The Cowboys have averaged 34.4 points in their last five games but they have surrendered 34.6 per game. BYU (4-5 SU, 2-7 ATS) needs to win two of its last three to avoid a losing season for the first time in the last decade. The Cougars have dropped six in a row ATS against Wyoming, including the last two in Provo. BYU snapped a seven game ATS losing skid last week. They are 1-6 ATS in their last seven against terrible teams and 1-7 as home favorites of between 7 ? and 10 points. The Cougars are 4-12 ATS when giving up between 7 ? and 14 points.
RICE at BOISE ST (-27): Rice (4-5 SU, 5-3-1 ATS) doesn?t appear capable of slowing down the Boise State (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS) express. The Broncos have obliterated their last seven foes by an average of 34.3 points per game en route to a 7-0 ATS record. They should be energized against the Owls after getting thumped in Houston last season, 45-14. Rice has been highly competitive of late, however, winning four of its last five and going 3-1-1 ATS. Boise State has cashed 10 of its last dozen against teams with a losing record and 14 of seven on the blue turf at home. The Owls have dropped 11 of their last 14 ATS in their final road test of the year.
UTEP at NEVADA (-23 ?): If it weren?t for a 38-35 win over Rice, UTEP (2-7 SU, 1-7 ATS) would be a prime contender as the last competitive team in the country. The Miners are 0-5 ATS on the road this year and 3-15 over the past three seasons. They have also dropped 14 of their last 16 as away dogs. Nevada (4-5 SU, 7-2 ATS) is having its best season since winning six of 11 in ?98. This figures to be their last shot at a victory as they finish the season against Fresno State on the road and Boise State at home. The Wolf Pack has cashed in its last two meetings with UTEP. They are 4-0 ATS in Reno this season and 12-5 in their last 17 chances as home chalk. Nevada has lost four in a row SU (1-3 ATS) the week before facing the Bulldogs, however.
MISSISSIPPI ST at ALABAMA (-21 ?): Don?t expect a letdown from Alabama (7-2 SU, 6-2-1 ATS). The Crimson Tide, on NCAA probation and banned from playing in the post-season, is on a mission. Out-manned Mississippi State (3-5 SU, 1-6 ATS) has impressive credentials against Alabama, having cashed in nine of the last 11 and three of four on the road. The toothless Bulldogs are also 25-13 as road dogs despite coming up short in three of four in 2002. Jackie Sherrill?s crew is 1-5 ATS as underdogs this year. The visitor has ?covered? in 11 of the last 16 series confrontations.
FLORIDA ST (-7) at GEORGIA TECH: Chan Gailey has done a bang-up job at his alma mater, Georgia Tech (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS). The Yellow Jackets are fresh off back-to-back wins over Virginia, and previously unbeaten North Carolina State. They haven?t beaten Florida State (6-3 SU, 3-5-1 ATS) in the last 10 years and have come up wanting in seven of the last 10 meetings ATS. The Seminoles have cashed in three of their last four in Atlanta, with three of the victories coming by 27 points or more. Georgia Tech is 3-1 ATS at home this season. They have faltered at an 11-26-1 clip ATS in November.
OKLAHOMA (-10) at TEXAS A&M: This is only the third time Texas A&M (4-5 SU, 3-6 ATS) has been a double-digit dog in College Station in the last 11 seasons. Last year the Aggies got 14 ? points from Texas at home and got the money in a 21-7 loss. In ?98 Texas A&M was a 12-point dog against Nebraska and won SU, 28-21. Oklahoma (8-0 SU, 4-4 ATS), sitting atop the latest BCS poll, hasn?t had much luck against the Aggies, losing three of four SU and failing to cash in its last four visits. Texas A&M is 1-4 ATS at home this season and 2-3 SU, after winning 28 of its previous 31 in College Station. The home team has cashed in six of the last seven series tests.
UCLA (-10 ?) at ARIZONA: The Bruins have survived nicely since losing starting quarterback Cory Paus two weeks ago. UCLA (6-3 SU&ATS) has a chance to post its best spread record since ?93, when it cashed in eight of 12. Arizona (3-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) has lost five in a row SU and is just 8-25-1 ATS at home in Pac-10 play. The Bruins tend to let down against teams with a losing record, failing in 16 of their last 22. The visitor is 5-2 ATS in the last seven series tussles, with the Bruins getting the green in three of the last four.
MIAMI (-9) at TENNESSEE: Every game is life and death for Miami (8-0 SU, 2-5 ATS) as it tries to gain ground on Oklahoma and Ohio State, the two tops above them in the BCS ratings. The Hurricanes have won 11 of their last 12 SU against SEC opposition, getting the money in eight of the 12. Miami is 1-5 ATS as favorites in 2002 but it has ?covered? 10 of 13 as road chalk of between 7 ? and 14 points. Tennessee (4-4 SU, 2-6 ATS) snapped a three game SU losing skid and a 0-6 ATS skid last week with an 18-10 win at South Carolina. The Volunteers are 0-5 ATS at home this season and 1-6-1 in their last eight chances as underdogs. They have won 24 straight at home in November and cashed at a 16-8 clip. Tennessee is 17-10 ATS at home in non-conference games. The Canes have ?covered? 18 of their last 26 prior to a bye.
OREGON ST (-1) at WASHINGTON: The Huskies look to avoid their first four game losing streak in the last decade. Washington is 0-5-1 ATS in Seattle this season and it has lost two of its last three at home SU after winning 17 in a row since ?99. The Huskies are a dismal 5-16 ATS in Pac-10 play the last three seasons and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 against good teams. Oregon State (6-3 SU, 5-3 ATS) has won two in a row after a mid-season slide that saw it drop three straight. The Beavers are primed for revenge after losing eight of their last nine versus Washington. They have cashed in seven of the last nine in Seattle but they were double-digit dogs on each occasion. Oregon State has ?covered? five of six as a favorite in 2002.
LOUISIANA TECH (-3) at SAN JOSE ST: There?s a good chance these two WAC foes could reach the century mark this week. Louisiana Tech (3-5 SU, 2-6 ATS) has given up an average of 40.2 points per game in its last five trips to the post, all ATS losses. San Jose State (4-6 SU, 6-4 ATS) has coughed up an average of 38 points per game and in their last four outings surrendered an average of 46.8 tallies. The Spartans have ?covered? six in a row at home against bad teams and seven of eight against clubs with a losing record. The Bulldogs have failed in eight of their last 10 against teams with a losing record and six of their last eight on the road in November. They have come up short in all five of their road tests this season. Louisiana Tech prevailed last season at home, 41-20, in the first meeting between the two teams since ?94.
OREGON at WASHINGTON ST (-6): The Cougars could take a giant step towards a Rose Bowl berth with a win over defending conference kingpin Oregon (7-2 SU, 5-3 ATS). Washington State (8-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) has ?covered? nine of its last 11 versus good teams and is 4-0 ATS in Pullman this season. The Ducks have cashed eight straight on the road and eight of their last 10 away games against teams with a winning record. They have won 12 of the last 16 series meetings with the Cougars, getting the money in 11 of the 16.
CALIFORNIA at ARIZONA ST (-6): Bettors have jumped off the Arizona State (7-3 SU, 6-3 ATS) bandwagon after a 44-22 loss at the hands of Washington State last week. The Sun Devils are still a formidable foe in Tempe, where they have cashed four of five this season and at a 16-8-1 clip the last four years. California (5-4 SU, 6-3 ATS) appears to be a cinch to secure a post-season bid for the first time since ?96, no matter how they fare Saturday. The Golden Bears finish their season at home against Arizona and Stanford, who have won just five games combined. Arizona State has won and cashed in seven of its last nine against California, including five in a row SU&ATS at home by an average margin of 27.6 points per game. The Golden Bears are 3-1 ATS on the road in 2002 and 4-2 as underdogs.
USC at STANFORD: Things could get ugly in Palo Alto when the rejuvenated Trojans look to take advantage of the porous Stanford (2-6 SU&ATS) stop unit. USC (6-2 SU, 4-3-1 ATS) has won four of its last five Pac-10 games and has scored 85 points in its last two outings against Washington and Oregon. The Trojans will be primed to avenge three straight losses to the Cardinal SU&ATS. USC is 5-2 ATS on the road in November while Stanford has failed in six of its last nine during November.
RICE at BOISE ST (-27): Rice (4-5 SU, 5-3-1 ATS) doesn?t appear capable of slowing down the Boise State (8-1 SU, 7-2 ATS) express. The Broncos have obliterated their last seven foes by an average of 34.3 points per game en route to a 7-0 ATS record. They should be energized against the Owls after getting thumped in Houston last season, 45-14. Rice has been highly competitive of late, however, winning four of its last five and going 3-1-1 ATS. Boise State has cashed 10 of its last dozen against teams with a losing record and 14 of seven on the blue turf at home. The Owls have dropped 11 of their last 14 ATS in their final road test of the year.
UTEP at NEVADA (-23 ?): If it weren?t for a 38-35 win over Rice, UTEP (2-7 SU, 1-7 ATS) would be a prime contender as the last competitive team in the country. The Miners are 0-5 ATS on the road this year and 3-15 over the past three seasons. They have also dropped 14 of their last 16 as away dogs. Nevada (4-5 SU, 7-2 ATS) is having its best season since winning six of 11 in ?98. This figures to be their last shot at a victory as they finish the season against Fresno State on the road and Boise State at home. The Wolf Pack has cashed in its last two meetings with UTEP. They are 4-0 ATS in Reno this season and 12-5 in their last 17 chances as home chalk. Nevada has lost four in a row SU (1-3 ATS) the week before facing the Bulldogs, however.
MISSISSIPPI ST at ALABAMA (-21 ?): Don?t expect a letdown from Alabama (7-2 SU, 6-2-1 ATS). The Crimson Tide, on NCAA probation and banned from playing in the post-season, is on a mission. Out-manned Mississippi State (3-5 SU, 1-6 ATS) has impressive credentials against Alabama, having cashed in nine of the last 11 and three of four on the road. The toothless Bulldogs are also 25-13 as road dogs despite coming up short in three of four in 2002. Jackie Sherrill?s crew is 1-5 ATS as underdogs this year. The visitor has ?covered? in 11 of the last 16 series confrontations.
FLORIDA ST (-7) at GEORGIA TECH: Chan Gailey has done a bang-up job at his alma mater, Georgia Tech (6-3 SU, 5-4 ATS). The Yellow Jackets are fresh off back-to-back wins over Virginia, and previously unbeaten North Carolina State. They haven?t beaten Florida State (6-3 SU, 3-5-1 ATS) in the last 10 years and have come up wanting in seven of the last 10 meetings ATS. The Seminoles have cashed in three of their last four in Atlanta, with three of the victories coming by 27 points or more. Georgia Tech is 3-1 ATS at home this season. They have faltered at an 11-26-1 clip ATS in November.
OKLAHOMA (-10) at TEXAS A&M: This is only the third time Texas A&M (4-5 SU, 3-6 ATS) has been a double-digit dog in College Station in the last 11 seasons. Last year the Aggies got 14 ? points from Texas at home and got the money in a 21-7 loss. In ?98 Texas A&M was a 12-point dog against Nebraska and won SU, 28-21. Oklahoma (8-0 SU, 4-4 ATS), sitting atop the latest BCS poll, hasn?t had much luck against the Aggies, losing three of four SU and failing to cash in its last four visits. Texas A&M is 1-4 ATS at home this season and 2-3 SU, after winning 28 of its previous 31 in College Station. The home team has cashed in six of the last seven series tests.
UCLA (-10 ?) at ARIZONA: The Bruins have survived nicely since losing starting quarterback Cory Paus two weeks ago. UCLA (6-3 SU&ATS) has a chance to post its best spread record since ?93, when it cashed in eight of 12. Arizona (3-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) has lost five in a row SU and is just 8-25-1 ATS at home in Pac-10 play. The Bruins tend to let down against teams with a losing record, failing in 16 of their last 22. The visitor is 5-2 ATS in the last seven series tussles, with the Bruins getting the green in three of the last four.
MIAMI (-9) at TENNESSEE: Every game is life and death for Miami (8-0 SU, 2-5 ATS) as it tries to gain ground on Oklahoma and Ohio State, the two tops above them in the BCS ratings. The Hurricanes have won 11 of their last 12 SU against SEC opposition, getting the money in eight of the 12. Miami is 1-5 ATS as favorites in 2002 but it has ?covered? 10 of 13 as road chalk of between 7 ? and 14 points. Tennessee (4-4 SU, 2-6 ATS) snapped a three game SU losing skid and a 0-6 ATS skid last week with an 18-10 win at South Carolina. The Volunteers are 0-5 ATS at home this season and 1-6-1 in their last eight chances as underdogs. They have won 24 straight at home in November and cashed at a 16-8 clip. Tennessee is 17-10 ATS at home in non-conference games. The Canes have ?covered? 18 of their last 26 prior to a bye.
OREGON ST (-1) at WASHINGTON: The Huskies look to avoid their first four game losing streak in the last decade. Washington is 0-5-1 ATS in Seattle this season and it has lost two of its last three at home SU after winning 17 in a row since ?99. The Huskies are a dismal 5-16 ATS in Pac-10 play the last three seasons and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 against good teams. Oregon State (6-3 SU, 5-3 ATS) has won two in a row after a mid-season slide that saw it drop three straight. The Beavers are primed for revenge after losing eight of their last nine versus Washington. They have cashed in seven of the last nine in Seattle but they were double-digit dogs on each occasion. Oregon State has ?covered? five of six as a favorite in 2002.
LOUISIANA TECH (-3) at SAN JOSE ST: There?s a good chance these two WAC foes could reach the century mark this week. Louisiana Tech (3-5 SU, 2-6 ATS) has given up an average of 40.2 points per game in its last five trips to the post, all ATS losses. San Jose State (4-6 SU, 6-4 ATS) has coughed up an average of 38 points per game and in their last four outings surrendered an average of 46.8 tallies. The Spartans have ?covered? six in a row at home against bad teams and seven of eight against clubs with a losing record. The Bulldogs have failed in eight of their last 10 against teams with a losing record and six of their last eight on the road in November. They have come up short in all five of their road tests this season. Louisiana Tech prevailed last season at home, 41-20, in the first meeting between the two teams since ?94.
OREGON at WASHINGTON ST (-6): The Cougars could take a giant step towards a Rose Bowl berth with a win over defending conference kingpin Oregon (7-2 SU, 5-3 ATS). Washington State (8-1 SU, 6-2 ATS) has ?covered? nine of its last 11 versus good teams and is 4-0 ATS in Pullman this season. The Ducks have cashed eight straight on the road and eight of their last 10 away games against teams with a winning record. They have won 12 of the last 16 series meetings with the Cougars, getting the money in 11 of the 16.
CALIFORNIA at ARIZONA ST (-6): Bettors have jumped off the Arizona State (7-3 SU, 6-3 ATS) bandwagon after a 44-22 loss at the hands of Washington State last week. The Sun Devils are still a formidable foe in Tempe, where they have cashed four of five this season and at a 16-8-1 clip the last four years. California (5-4 SU, 6-3 ATS) appears to be a cinch to secure a post-season bid for the first time since ?96, no matter how they fare Saturday. The Golden Bears finish their season at home against Arizona and Stanford, who have won just five games combined. Arizona State has won and cashed in seven of its last nine against California, including five in a row SU&ATS at home by an average margin of 27.6 points per game. The Golden Bears are 3-1 ATS on the road in 2002 and 4-2 as underdogs.
USC at STANFORD: Things could get ugly in Palo Alto when the rejuvenated Trojans look to take advantage of the porous Stanford (2-6 SU&ATS) stop unit. USC (6-2 SU, 4-3-1 ATS) has won four of its last five Pac-10 games and has scored 85 points in its last two outings against Washington and Oregon. The Trojans will be primed to avenge three straight losses to the Cardinal SU&ATS. USC is 5-2 ATS on the road in November while Stanford has failed in six of its last nine during November.
TULSA at FRESNO ST (-27): The Bulldogs need to win three of their last four if they intend to make post-season reservations for the fourth straight season. Fresno State (4-5 SU&ATS) has put the toughest part of its schedule behind it and they will be favored in the last four games on the menu. The Bulldogs have won three in a row against hapless Tulsa (1-8 SU, 3-6 ATS), cashing twice. The Golden Hurricane have stumbled in nine of their last 11 as road dogs and in three of four on the highway ATS this season. They have also come up short in eight straight ATS on grass. Fresno State is 1-3 ATS as a favorite in 2002. They have cashed six straight at home coming off a loss in Fresno.
CMU at TOLEDO (-14 ?): The Rockets have won seven of their last 10 SU against Central Michigan (4-5 SU, 5-3 ATS) and cashed in five of the last seven encounters. Toledo (5-3 SU, 4-3 ATS) is 2-1 ATS at home this season and 14-1 the past three campaigns. The Chippewas put an end to a five-game losing skid by thumping EMU last week, 47-21.
MICHIGAN (-4 ?) at MINNESOTA: Michigan (7-2 SU, 2-7 ATS) took out its frustrations on Michigan State last week, 49-3, after losing to Iowa the previous week. The Wolverines have won eight in a row against Minnesota (7-2 SU, 4-4 ATS), including three straight in Minneapolis. The Gophers may have been exposed as pretenders last week when they lost to Ohio State, 34-3, after winning seven of eight against suspect opposition. The home team had struggled in this Big-10 rivalry, coming up short in 10 of the last 14. Michigan has been no bargain on the road, dropping seven straight as a favorite of 3 ? to seven points, and nine of 11 as favorites, overall. The Wolverines are 4-10-1 ATS on the road since ?00.
KENT at CONNECTICUT (-8 ?): November has not been kind to Kent (3-6 SU, 1-6 ATS). The Golden Flashes have lost 13 of their last 14 in November (3-10 ATS). Connecticut (3-6 SU, 6-2 ATS) will be playing its last game at Memorial Stadium before moving into a new facility next season that will seat 40,000+. The Huskies are 6-2 ATS this season and 13-5 ATS the past two campaigns. Kent has failed in three of four ATS on the road this year.
UL MONROE at AUBURN (-36): Auburn (6-3 SU, 5-2-1 ATS) could have trouble getting up for UL Monroe (2-7 SU, 4-4 ATS) with Georgia on tap next week. The Tigers are only 3-6 ATS when giving up 20 points or more and 1-5 ATS in their last six against poor teams.
NEW MEXICO ST (-2) at UTAH ST: Utah State (2-6 SU, 3-4 ATS) has dominated against New Mexico State (6-3 SU, 3-6 ATS), winning 10 of 11 SU, and cashing nine times. This could be the season the Aggies gain a measure of revenge as they have won five straight and have the fans in Las Cruces thinking about packing for a bowl game. New Mexico State has faltered in four of its last five visits to Logan SU&ATS. They are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 tries as favorites and 1-7 in November. Utah State is 3-11 ATS against teams with a winning record and 0-3 in its last three home finales.
