Beyond the BCS Capping College Football's Small Conferences
by Doc Sports

Some of the best betting value in college football is hiding beyond the BCS, in the small conferences. Each week, Doc’s Sports will look at the little programs that could help you make big cash this college season.

Team to Watch: Ohio Bobcats (4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS)

This week: -17 vs. Central Michigan

Ohio opened its season with a blowout loss to Louisville, but the schedule has softened and the floodgates have opened. The Bobcats are averaging 35.5 points in their last four games, including a 43-3 road rout of Akron in their Mid-American Conference opener. On the other side of the ball, they have allowed a grand total of three points in their last two contests.

Saturday’s opponent, Central Michigan, is 2-4 with a quartet of double-digit losses. The Chippewas are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 against teams with winning records and 1-11 ATS in their last 13 road games against teams with winning home records. Ohio is 4-0 ATS in its last four overall and 4-1 ATS in its last five at home.

Team to Beware: Air Force Falcons (1-5 SU, 2-4 ATS)

This week: +4 vs. San Diego State

The government shutdown didn’t stop last weekend’s game between Air Force and Navy, but the Falcons’ season can’t be shut down soon enough. They have lost five in a row to drop to 1-5, with four of their five setbacks coming by at least 18 points. Air Force is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 overall, 0-5 ATS in its last five home games, and 0-5 ATS in its last five against teams with losing records. They are 0-4 ATS in their last five against San Diego State.

As for the Aztecs, they handled Air Force 28-9 last season and have returned 16 starters. They average 145.5 yards per game on the ground in 2013 and are going up against a Falcons defense that gives up 222.5 rushing yards per outing. SDSU freshman Donnel Pumphrey is averaging 7.5 yards on 44 carries.

Total Team: San Jose State Spartans (2-3 SU, 2-3 O/U)

This week: 58 at Colorado State

Since shutting out Sacramento State in its season opener, San Jose State has allowed at least 27 points in four straight contests, including 40 or more in two of its three losses. The Spartans are still without a slew of defensive players, including impact performers like safety Brandon Monroe, cornerback Bene Benwikere, and linebacker Derek Muaava. On the bright side, SJSU’s passing offense is churning out 306.8 yards per game behind senior quarterback David Fales.

The Over is 6-1 in the Spartans’ last seven road games, 5-1 in their last seven against Mountain West opposition, and 4-0 in their last four following a bye week. Colorado State also had an off week to prepare for this one. The Over is 7-2 in the Rams’ last nine following a bye week and 7-2 in their last nine against teams with losing records.

Exposing the Top 25: Where the Polls Went Wrong

Each week throughout the college football season, Jesse Schule will dissect the new Top 25 rankings, looking for betting value. He'll showcase the most overrated team, along with the most underrated ranked team, and an unranked squad that he feels should be in the Top 25.

Most underrated Top 25 Team: Baylor Bears (4-0 SU, 4-0 ATS)

I've said it before, and I'll make no apologies for saying it again. The Bears might just be the best team in the country. I mean, outside of Oregon, what other team could put up 70 points three weeks in a row while holding opponents to an average of 16.3 points?

This week's 73-42 thrashing of West Virginia should put the rest of the country on notice: This Baylor team is the real deal. West Virginia might not be a top 25 team, but it did upset the Oklahoma State Cowboys and its defense limited the Sooners to just 16 points in a losing effort in Oklahoma.

Most overrated Top 25 Team: South Carolina Gamecocks (4-1 SU, 1-4 ATS)

The Gamecocks have not looked good, failing to cover the spread in each of their last four games. Making matters worse for the underachieving squad is that their star DE Jadeveon Clowney sat out last week with what ESPN's Tim Koen referred to as a "minor or non-existant injury."

Coach Steve Spurrier was not at all happy about Clowney's decision not to play and he's criticized his player publicly, saying "If Clowney wants to play, we will welcome him to come play for the team if he wants. But if he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to play. Simple as that."

Unranked team that should be ranked: Auburn Tigers (4-1 SU, 4-0 SU)

The Tigers are 4-1, with their only loss coming to LSU. Last week's win over Ole Miss puts them at 2-1 in the SEC and with an easy game upcoming, you can expect to see them in the Top 25 next week. Of course, life in the SEC isn't easy. And with games against Texas A&M and Alabama still to come, the party might not last long.

College Football Odds Week 7 Opening Line Report

With the NCAA football schedule moving along to Week 7, a new chapter in one of the game's greatest rivalries will be written.

The annual matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners (5-0 SU, 3-2 ATS) and Texas Longhorns (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS) - the Red River Rivalry - will be played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas and the Horns will look to put a stop to the Sooners' dominance in the matchup over the previous three seasons.

The Sooners are 3-0 SU and ATS in the past three meetings and have put up a combined 118 points on the board in their past two victories.

According to Peter Korner, founder of the Nevada-based odds service The Sports Club, he and his team of oddsmakers were all on the same page when it came time to discuss this matchup.

"With Texas missing QB David Ash, they're not the same team," said Korner. "This is on the same neutral field and Oklahoma is the better team. We made the game Oklahoma -12 and had very little diversity among the five oddsmakers."

Florida Gators at LSU Tigers (-8)

LSU (5-1 SU, 3-2-1 ATS) suffered a tough loss to Georgia back on Sept. 28, but got back in the winning column as they trounced Mississippi State 59-26 in Week 6.

The Tigers boast one of the top offenses in the SEC and go up against a stingy Florida Gators (4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) defense, which is allowing 12.2 points per game - good enough for fourth overall in the country.

Korner and his team were on a variety of numbers before settling at LSU -8.

"We were mixed on this. The range went from LSU -5.5 to -11," said Korner. "I like the LSU 'pit' they play in as an advantage. We stuck it in the middle at LSU -8 as Florida doesn't appear to be that mighty powerhouse we've seen in recent years."

Texas A&M Aggies at Mississippi Rebels (+7)

After a very impressive 3-0 start which generated a lot of buzz, Ole Miss (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS) has dropped a pair of tough road games in the past two weeks.

Despite the back-to-back losses, Ole Miss still gets respect and faces a tough task in Week 7 with Johnny Manziel and the Aggies (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS) coming to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

"We went from Texas A&M -5 to -8 and I sent out -7," says Korner. "You don't want to be too low with A&M's offense but Mississippi is no pushover so we didn't get too crazy."

Oregon Ducks at Washington Huskies (+16)

The Ducks (5-0 SU, 5-0 ATS) keep putting up basketball-like numbers and are coming off a 57-16 win at Colorado in Week 6. The Ducks are the first team to own a 5-0 record against the spread and will be another big, double-digit fave against Pac-12 foe Washington in Week 7.

The Huskies (4-1 SU, 4-1 ATS) put up a good fight against Stanford but ultimately lost by a field goal in California.

"We had a range from -14 to -18," Korner said. "Washington's good showing versus Stanford holds this line in check but we still sent our Oregon -16. There's no problem in rooting for Oregon if we were too high. I'll take my chances with that."

NCAA Football Game Picks

Texas A&M at Ole Miss

The Rebels look to take advantage of a Texas A&M team that is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 October games. Mississippi is the pick (+6) according to Dunkel, which has the Aggies favored by only 3 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Mississippi (+6). Here are all of this week's games.

See spot. See spot bet This week's best spot bet opportunities
by Jason Logan

Lookahead Spot

For some smart kids, the Stanford Cardinal could get caught doing something very dumb this weekend. Stanford has a trip to Utah, to face the 3-2 Utes Saturday afternoon. The Cardinal, set as 8-point road favorites, are coming off a big win over Washington and have a huge meeting with UCLA in Week 8. But first, a trip to the Beehive State, which could end up being a hornet’s nest for Stanford.

Utah is coming off a tough loss to UCLA last Thursday but has had extra time to prepare for the Cardinal. The Utes have the offensive firepower to keep pace with their Pac-12 rivals and have been able to keep QB Travis Wilson relatively clean, giving up seven sacks in five games. It’s not going to be California weather in Utah this weekend, either. Temperatures will be in the low 50s – a pale comparison from the high 70s in Palo Alto.

College Football Line Watch Patience for Kansas State Backers

Each week during the college football season, renowned Las Vegas wiseguy Bruce Marshall looks at the NCAAF odds and tells you which spread to bet now, which one to bet later, and which total to watch as the week plays out.

Spread to Bet Now

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (+10) at UNLV Rebels

Early in the week, we often like to identify the spreads that made an initial and pronounced move in one direction immediately after posting on late Sunday night. Especially a situation where we believe all of the “sharp” money has already been invested (which is not always the case in the earliest line moves) on one of the sides in the game. Such as UNLV, which was quickly bet up from 6.5 to 9.5 or 10 at most Nevada wagering outlets for Saturday’s game against visiting Hawaii at Sam Boyd Stadium.

There is some beneath-the-surface enthusiasm developing for Bobby Hauck’s Rebels after their recent three-game win streak, the longest at the school in a decade.

But the masses, even in hometown Las Vegas, are likely to remain skeptical for a bit longer about the Rebs, who have teased their followers before. And it’s worth noting that “local money” in Clark County includes tens of thousands of Rainbow Warrior backers who have caused the area to be labeled as the “ninth island” of the Aloha State.

The bottom line is that we expect no further serious money surges in the Rebels’ direction, and suspect that any appetite for UNLV in the marketplace was satisfied by that original dump of sharp money, which in some establishments has pushed the price up to a key number of 10.

Beyond the sharps who moved the early number, it is still hard to identify a lot of pro-Rebel sentiment among the masses.

Since we doubt the spread moves any higher, we suggest Hawaii backers do their shopping ASAP and grab that double-digit price wherever it is available.

Especially since we would not be surprised to see some downward pressure on this number later in the week.

Spread to Wait on

Baylor Bears at Kansas State Wildcats (+17)

Projecting late-week money moves is always a bit tricky. Sometimes, however, the marketplace reacts exactly the opposite to the scenario outlined in our Hawaii-UNLV analysis above.

Those differences are usually when “public” teams are involved in the earliest money moves. Whereas only the sharps are likely to be in love with a team like UNLV, the masses can be counted on to support the higher-profile entries.

And if one team has indeed gone “public” in the first month of the 2013 season, it is Baylor.

And after a strong surge of initial money pushed the Bears up to 17 or 17.5 for Saturday’s game at Kansas State, we suspect the increasing public infatuation with Art Briles’ team creates more buy pressure on the Bears throughout the week.

Recent precedent suggests as much.

Consider last Saturday against visiting West Virginia, when the public kept buying and buying on Baylor all week, pushing the number from an initial 27.5 all of the way through a potential key number at 28 before settling at 30.5 (and in a few locales at 31) before kickoff. It is worth noting that Baylor was also bet up from -27 to -31 for its previous game vs. ULM.

Indeed, there has been no spread movement against the Bears yet this season.

Ironically, it was not long ago that K-State was such a “public” team, but the current version of Bill Snyder’s Wildcats have already lost three games and look to do no better than a minor bowl bid this season. And in this particular matchup, the masses might recall a dominating 52-24 Baylor win last season that effectively wrecked K-State’s hopes for the BCS title game.

Granted, this is the Bears’ first road game of the season, but the wagering public is a creature of habit. And since the public has been rewarded for continuing to back Baylor, and all but a few Bears tickets were cashed last Saturday, we suspect that pattern continues throughout the week.

The public can move prices as well, and we expect buy pressure on the Baylor Bears to push this number in the vicinity of three TDs.

At some point the sharps might jump back in and back the Wildcats (especially with possible “middle” scenarios), but K-State backers might as well wait until later in the week, especially since there is a chance that the Baylor infatuation pushes this spread up to the next key number.

Total to Watch

Indiana Hoosiers at Michigan State Spartans (54.5)

We love these sorts of style clashes, and there can be no more pronounced on-field fundamental differences in this season’s Big Ten than those between Indiana and Michigan State.

Whereas the defense-minded Spartans are so conservative on the attack end that they might as well have Charles Krauthammer as offensive coordinator, Kevin Wilson’s Indiana offense is pure video football, utilizing an uptempo spread that looks more like it belongs in Conference USA than the Big Ten.

That sort of dichotomy presents some interesting possibilities in the total which has been initially posted at 54.5 for this game at East Lansing.

We suspect that the total movement will reflect which side the public is backing; a downward drift would likely suggest more Michigan State money, while a rise upward in the total would indicate an appetite in the marketplace for the Hoosiers.

Although there was immediate buy pressure for Michigan State that quickly moved the price to 9.5, totals often wait a bit longer to react.

And considering the fascinating style contrast between these sides, this figures to also be one of the most interesting totals developments of the week.

double-dime bet 118 Massachusetts -3.5 (-110) Hilton vs 117 Miami (Ohio)

Analysis: 118 Miami Ohio at Massachusetts
Not even a coaching change will keep us from betting against these Redhawks. After two plus bad seasons in Oxford Don Treadwell has been fired after losing badly once against last week. This time Central Michigan beat the Redhawks on the road, a major feat indeed as the Chippewas had only won a combined five road games the previous 3+ seasons. Miami has been outscored by 38, 36 and 34 points away from home this year and they haven't surpassed 14 points scored in any of their first five contests.
On paper this UMass team doesn't look a whole lot better. But keep in mind that the Minutemen faced a much tougher schedule thus far. Games against Wisconsin, Kansas State, Vanderbilt and Bowling Green have toughened up this squad for a major drop down in opposing talent. While the offense is in the same boat at the Redhawks scoring wise this team is o“nly being beaten in first downs by 6.5 a game while Miami is being out-firstdowned by 17.6 per contest.
Massachusetts didn't win a conference home game all last year in their first season in the MAC. They have been pointing to this contest as a coming out game, and they finally face a team of similar talent. In the last four games UMass has been out gained by a combined 722 total yards, Miami against lesser competition have been out yarded by a whopping 1186 yards. Only Wisconsin completely dominated UMass, while the Redhawks have been out gained by 280 yards or more on four occasions.
