NCAA-F | Boston College vs Florida State
Play on: Florida State +1½ -115 at sportsbook
10* FREE NCAAF PICK (Florida St +1.5)
I'll take my chances here with the Seminoles at basically a pick'em at home against the Eagles. I've stayed clear of Florida State this season and it's not so much I'm playing on them as it is I'm fading Boston College. This is is just one of those spots teams really struggle to play well in. Last week the Eagles hosting Clemson with 1st place on the line in the ACC Atlantic.
BC just went from playing for everything to playing for nothing, as they are locked into a bowl at 7-3. I get the opponent here is Florida State and they are a brand name, but the Seminoles are a complete afterthought this season. I just don't think it's a big enough game or opponent for BC to pick themselves off the mat.
On the flip side of this, there's a lot of pride on the line for the Seminoles, who need to win their final two games to get to that 6-win mark. I think that still means something to these players. No one wants to be remembered as a guy who was part of the worst teams in school history. I think they bring their best effort here and that should be more than enough for them to get the win at home. Give me Florida State +1.5!

NCAA-F | Kansas vs Oklahoma
Play on: OVER 68½ -105
Oklahoma can name their score in this one as they host Kansas for Senior Day. The Sooners have scored 45 points or more in six straight games. They've got so much talent and a big game against West Virginia coming up so focus could be a bit of an issue. Kyler Murray is trying for the Heisman so they'll want him to put up some good numbers. Kansas has struggled against any opponent with a pulse. They gave up 48 to Texas Tech and 48 to Oklahoma State. The last two years the Sooners have won 41-3 and 56-3 in this game. I think the Jayhawks can add some points so give me the over here.

NCAA-F | Kansas vs Oklahoma
Play on: Oklahoma -34 -110 at betonline
Oklahoma -34
This play just missed out on our premium card. The Kansas Jayhawks and the Oklahoma Sooners face off on Saturday and in this game the value lies with the favorites.
The Sooners know they have an outside chance to make the college football playoff, and to get that done they are going to need some help and make a good impression.
Against a bad Jayhawks team I think this is one where they try and run up the score and they can cover this large number.
Back the Sooners

NCAA-F | Iowa State vs Texas
Play on: Iowa State +3 -115 at betonline
Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Iowa State +3
The Iowa State Cyclones have been unstoppable since going to Brock Purdy at quarterback. They’ve gone 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall to put themselves in position to make the Big 12 Championship Game. If they win their final two games and West Virginia loses to either Oklahoma State or Oklahoma, they will be in the title game.
Matt Campbell has already taking this program to heights unseen in his three years here. And they’re hungry for more. The key to their success this season has been a defense that is the best in the Big 12. The Cyclones are giving up just 20.4 points per game on the season, holding opponents to 12.7 points per game less than their season averages.
Purdy has been phenomenal as a freshman, showing the poise of a senior. He is completing 68.6% of his passes for 1,315 yards with a 13-to-2 TD/INT ratio in his five games as a starter. He has also rushed for 252 yards and two scores, and it’s his escapability that makes him so special. Opposing defenses just can’t sack him.
Texas has to be tired from three straight barn-burners. They lost 35-38 at Oklahoma State and then 41-42 at home against West Virginia. And last week they needed a late touchdown to beat Texas Tech 41-34. Their offense has been clicking, but they haven’t faced a defense as good as Iowa State this season, and that’s going to be the difference.
The Longhorns are getting shredded defensively. In their last three games, they have allowed 38 points per game and a whopping 558.3 yards per game. Purdy should have his way with this Texas defense. And one thing that’s getting overlooked is that the Longhorns are decimated by injuries in their secondary. They have three starters and a top backup in the defensive backfield listed on the injury report this week.
The Cyclones are 24-7-1 ATS in their last 32 games overall. Iowa State is 9-1-1 ATS in its last 11 road games. The Cyclones are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. The Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win. The wrong team is favored here. Bet Iowa State Saturday.

NCAA-F | New Mexico State vs BYU
Play on: BYU -24 -106 at pinnacle
My Bonus Play is on BYU at 10:15 ET.
The Cougars were coming off a rare "off year" in 2017, going just 4-9. It ended a run of 12 straight bowl appearances for BYU. In contrast, New Mexico State' 26-20 bowl win (in OT) over Utah St gave the Aggies a 7-6 record last season, with its bowl win marking the school's first bowl appearance since 1960! BYU opened the 2018 season 4-1, including wins at Arizona (28-23) and a shocking 24-21 win at then-No. 6 Wisconsin (as a 23 1/2-point underdog). At 4-1 BYU was ranked 20th in the AP poll. However, BYU stumbles into this game just 5-5 and needing a win here, just to become bowl-eligible. As for New Mexico State, the Aggies have been unable to match last year's success, as they visit Provo just 3-7. A defense that is allowing 42.3 PPG (127th) on 491.7 YPG (122nd) has been a 'killer.'
New Mexico State has beaten only 1-9 UTEP, 4-5 Liberty and Alcorn St, an FCS school. The team's lone road win came at UTEP, 27-20. The defense is allowing 44.2 PPG on the road and on the season, the offense ranks 82nd in scoring (27.2 PPG) on 374.6 YPG (92nd). When one thinks of BYU's heydays, one thinks offense. That's NOT been the case in 2018, as the Cougars are averaging only 23.3 PPG (104th) on 339.1 YPG (115th). However, BYU's defense has been sturdy, allowing a modest 21.5 PPG (30th) on 329.2 YPG (23rd).
Can't see BYU missing out on a bowl by losing here and with a trip to Utah up next (note: Cougars have lost seven straight "Holy Wars!"), the Cougars should leave little doubt about the outcome of this contest. This is BYU's final home game and prior to losing last season to UMass in its final home game, BYU had won 11 straight. Lay the big points.
Good luck...Larry

NCAA-F | New Mexico State vs BYU
Play on: OVER 55 -105
1* Free Sharp Play on New Mexico State vs BYU over 55 -105
My money is on the OVER 55 in Saturday's showdown of Independents, as BYU host New Mexico State. The Aggies are a team built for high-scoring games, as they don't play much defense and are a capable offensive team. They come into this one giving up 42.3 ppg and nearly 14 points more per game than what their opponent average. BYU only averages 23.3 ppg, but a lot of that has to do with their schedule, as their opponent on average is only giving up 25.9 ppg. We saw them score 35 last week at UMass and I could see them topping that here. All we would need from the Aggies is around 20 points and they haven't scored fewer than 20 since the first week of September. Bet the OVER 55!

NCAA-F | Arizona State vs Oregon
Play on: Oregon -170 at BMaker
1* Free Pick on Oregon -170
I think this is one of those scenarios where the public things Arizona State is the play because they are the only ones with something to play for. Sun Devils win out and they are the Pac-12 South champs and headed to the Pac-12 title game against either Washington State or Washington. Oregon can't win the North and have locked up a bowl bid at 6-4.
The Ducks also come in off an ugly loss at Utah, where the Utes were missing both their starting quarterback and their 1,000 yard rusher. All this makes the Sun Devils look like the play here, but I think it has Oregon showing big time value as a small home favorite and I'll go ahead and take them to win outright on the money line at this price.
Arizona State has won 3 straight, but 2 of those were at home and the other was against a reeling USC team. The Sun Devils haven't been the same team on the road, where they are just 1-3. Oregon is too talented and with this being their final home game and it coming under the lights, I expect a big effort from the Ducks in what I believe will be an easy home win. Take Oregon!

NCAA-F | Arizona State vs Oregon
Play on: Arizona State +3½ -105 at 5Dimes
Arizona State +3.5
The Sun Devils are worth a flyer on Saturday. ASU has been a team that simply doesn't look ahead and that plays into the value here. Typically with a rivalry game the following week, teams will struggle.
Not here. The Sun Devils have gone 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS prior to their matchup with Arizona. They also catch Oregon at a good time and in a nice situational edge.
The Ducks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games when coming off a loss. Some other trends to note. Arizona State is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games. Oregon is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games at home. Oregon is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games.
This is a nice spot to grab the points.
Back Arizona State. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Play - Arizona State (Game 375).
Edges - Sun Devils: 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS before facing Arizona; and 4-1 ATS after facing UCLA … Ducks: 1-7 ATS in Last Home Games when coming off a loss … With Oregon 0-5 ‘In The Stats’ the last five games, we recommend a 1* play on Arizona State. Thank you and good luck as always.

Comp play release for Saturday on Georgia minus the redwood tree over Massachusetts.
The fact UGa is laying over 40 points assure UMass of being in this game for a spell, but in reality, the final score could very well be 58-7 in favor of the host Bulldogs.
The 'Dawgs are in a "holding pattern" until they face Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, as they have a date with Georgia Tech up next. Again, no worries laying this wood, as Georgia has won and cover 3 in a row now since their lone loss at LSU, and Kirby Smart has Georgia at 17-8 overall their last 25 versus the number.
Expect to see a little more of highly-touted quarterback Justin Fields in this game, and expect Fields to use this opportunity to showcase his goods.
As for UMass, the Minutemen simply do not have the talent or the depth to mount any kind of a threat either straight up or against the spread. This will be a nice paycheck for the University, but that's about it as the UMass season will conclude today. Massachusetts stands at just 4-8 against the spread their last dozen games played.
I am sure a lot of folks will line up for a play on Massachusetts, as they may be of the opinion that Georgia will be working past UMass as they get ready for Georgia Tech's triple-option next week, but I am not one of them!
Just a matter of time before this big number gets covered, as Georgia will not allow more than a touchdown at home today to Massachusetts.
58-7 final here.
2* GEORGIA

My free pick for Saturday is on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, as I love them minus the points against the visiting Virginia Cavaliers.
I remember when Georgia Tech was headed for a dismal season. Now, the Yellow Jackets have ripped off three straight victories, locked up bowl eligibility and with a win over Virginia, would clinch a winning season.
And the Jackets are getting things done with a ground attack that is averaging nearly 386 yards in their last three games. That attack has helped with an average time of possession of 37:45.
Think about that momentarily: opponents are holding the ball merely 22:15.
Virginia uses a triple-option, which means it runs the ball. So five-minute possessions would mean the Cavs will handle the ball four or five times - tops, if the Jackets' defense comes to play.
And why wouldn't it?
Virginia is scoring just 21.7 points per road game. Georgia Tech limits teams to just 324.4 yards per game on its own field, and 23 points per game. Over their last three games, the Jackets have scored an average of 38 points, a bit more than their season average of 37.6.
The home team has won and covered four straight in this series, and Georgia Tech will carry the momentum from this three-game streak into this critical showdown. Lay the points.
2* GEORGIA TECH
