#305 C FLORIDA @ #306 HOUSTON
TV: 7:00 PM EST, ESPN
Line: Houston -3, Total: 52

Central Florida looks to get its offense in high gear when it opens American Athletic Conference play at Houston on Thursday evening. The Knights, who rank 117th out of 125 FBS teams in yards per contest, have struggled on the ground while introducing a first-year starter at quarterback. Central Florida must find a way into the end zone against Houston, which is averaging 31.5 points with a rushing attack that produces more than five yards per carry and put up 399 against UNLV last time out.

The Cougars are well-balanced, with two running backs totaling at least 196 yards and a pair of receivers with more than 220 yards in the first four contests. Central Florida quarterback Justin Holman has completed 60.7 percent of his passes with a talented group of receivers, but the Knights are averaging 2.6 yards per carry. Central Florida has won four consecutive conference openers and owns three straight victories over Houston, including a 19-14 thriller in 2013.

•ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA (1-2): Holman threw for more than 200 yards in the first two games, coming off the bench in the opener against Penn State, and went 6-of-11 for 145 in the 41-7 victory over Bethune-Cookman on Sept. 20. Breshad Perriman (eight catches, 206 yards) and J.J. Worton (nine, 150) are two of five major threats through the air. William Stanback gained 137 yards on the ground the last two weeks, and the Knights are 20th in the nation in rushing defense, averaging 102.3 yards allowed.

•ABOUT HOUSTON (2-2): Kenneth Farrow (271 yards) and Ryan Jackson (196) lead the rushing attack for the Cougars, who have run the ball 128 times and thrown it 158. Sophomore John O’Korn needs 37 yards to become the 11th Houston quarterback to record 4,000 in his career, but he is completing only 52.7 percent of his passes this season with six interceptions to go along with six touchdowns. O’Korn’s top two targets are Deontay Greenberry (18 receptions, 297 yards) and Daniel Spencer (21, 223).

•PREGAME NOTES: Houston's next victory will be the 400th in the program’s history, as it stands at 399-347-15.... Worton is four receiving yards shy of 2,000 in his career and fellow Knights WR Josh Reese is 84 away from becoming the fifth player on the roster with 1,000.... The Cougars have forced at least one turnover in 27 consecutive games, the second-longest current streak behind Louisiana-Monroe (30).... Central Florida is 1-9 versus the spread off a home win, and 2-10 ATS after playing a game at home over the last three seasons.... The Cougars are 31-15 against the spread in home games after one or more consecutive straight up wins since 1992, and 9-2 ATS after a game where they forced three or more turnovers over the last two seasons.

#307 ARIZONA @ #308 OREGON
TV: 10:30 PM EST, ESPN
Line: Oregon -22.5, Total: 76

Two of the final three undefeated Pac-12 Conference teams meet Thursday night as Arizona visits fourth-ranked Oregon, which is looking to avenge last season’s 42-16 loss. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, who threw two interceptions in last season’s defeat, leads the Heisman Trophy race with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions while completing 74 percent of his passes through four games. Mariota should thrive against the Pac-12’s second-worst passing efficiency defense, but Arizona’s explosive offense has the weapons to keep pace.

Both teams are playing for the first time since September 20th, when the Wildcats used a Hail Mary pass from Anu Solomon to Austin Hill on the final play of the game to record a 49-45 win over California. Mariota was sacked seven times in the Ducks’ 38-31 triumph at Washington State, but he passed for 329 yards and five touchdowns - including the game-winner with less than six minutes remaining. Arizona, which snapped its five-game losing streak against Oregon last season, has won three of its four contests this year by seven points or fewer.

•ABOUT ARIZONA (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12): Solomon, a redshirt freshman, overcame a slow start and completed 47-of-73 passes for a school-record 520 yards and five touchdowns against California. Wide receiver Cayleb Jones is an emerging star for the Wildcats’ offense, which averages 405 yards and features freshman Nick Wilson - who ranks second in the Pac-12 in rushing yards (482) and yards per game (120). The defense allowed 573 yards against California, but linebacker Scooby Wright III has been a bright spot as he leads the Pac-12 with 12.8 tackles per game.

•ABOUT OREGON (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12): The bye week came at an opportune time for Oregon, which needed the extra rest to improve an offensive line that lost tackles Tyler Johnstone, Andre Yruretagoyena and Jake Fisher to leg injuries early in the season. The Ducks’ defense allowed 436 passing yards against Washington State and will be tested again by the Wildcats, who are hoping to repeat last year’s effort as they were 6-for-6 inside the red zone. “It’s a new year, and new teams, and I feel like both teams are better,” receiver Keanon Lowe told goducks.com. “That being said, we remember vividly that feeling of going in Arizona and getting our butt whooped.”

•PREGAME NOTES: Mariota has 7,477 career passing yards and needs just 80 to move ahead of Kellen Clemens for third all-time at Oregon.... Washington State is seeking its first win in Eugene since posting a 55-16 victory in 2003.... All but seven of Oregon’s 51 victories since 2010 have been by more than 14 points.... Current Chicago Bears rookie Ka'Deem Carey had 206 rushing yards last year versus the Ducks as Arizona finished with 304 - the most Oregon has allowed since 2007.... The Ducks, 28-0 at home against unranked opponents since losing to Boise State on Sept. 20, 2008, won 49-0 in the teams' last matchup in Eugene in 2012.

#301 MINNESOTA @ #302 GREEN BAY
TV: 8:25 PM EST, CBS, NFL Network
Line: Packers -9, Total: 47

Aaron Rodgers implored anxious fans of the Green Bay Packers to "relax" and then went out and made sure they were able to do just that with a brilliant performance in a lopsided rout at bitter rival Chicago on Sunday. With a much brighter outlook surrounding the team, Rodgers and Green Bay will host another NFC North opponent when the Minnesota Vikings pay a visit on Thursday night. The Packers are 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings, including a 26-26 tie at home last November.

Minnesota is hoping it won't have to start its third quarterback in as many weeks after rookie Teddy Bridgewater injured an ankle during last week's 41-28 victory over visiting Atlanta. Bridgewater, the No. 32 pick in this year's draft, threw for 317 yards and ran for a touchdown Sunday in his first career start, but exited the game in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said he is "hopeful" Bridgewater will play after an MRI exam came back clean, but the quarterback did sit out Monday's practice.

•ABOUT THE VIKINGS (2-2 SU, 2-2-0 ATS): Bridgewater was not the only rookie to make a big impression in Sunday's win. Running back Jerick McKinnon, a converted quarterback out of Georgia Southern, ran for 135 yards on 18 carries as Minnesota rolled up 241 of its 558 yards on the ground after failing to score a TD in its previous seven quarters. Jarius Wright added eight catches for 132 yards to help spark an offense that has already lost stud running back Adrian Peterson following allegations of child abuse as well as starting quarterback Matt Cassel and tight end Kyle Rudolph to injury. Bridgewater on Tuesday declined to give a percentage on his chances of playing and his unavailability would open the door for former first-round pick Christian Ponder.

•ABOUT THE PACKERS (2-2 SU, 1-2-0 ATS): Following pair of meager offensive outputs in losses sandwiched around a come-from-behind victory over the New York Jets, Rodgers was spectacular in the 38-17 romp in Chicago, throwing for 302 yards and four touchdowns while compiling a 151.2 passer rating. Jordy Nelson caught two more scoring passes and leads the league with 33 catches and 459 yards while fellow wideout Randall Cobb also went over 100 yards receiving and added two touchdowns to give him five on the season. There are concerns about second-year back Eddie Lacy, who has yet to surpassed 48 yards in a game following his 1,178-yard campaign as a rookie. The defense also is struggling, allowing 235 yards rushing and 496 total to the Bears.

•PREGAME NOTES: Rodgers, who missed last November's meeting versus Minnesota, is 29-2 in his last 31 at home....

Oregon, Arizona clash

ARIZONA WILDCATS (4-0) at OREGON DUCKS (4-0)
Line & Total: Oregon -23, Total: 70

No. 2 Oregon will look for some revenge on Thursday night when it hosts undefeated Arizona in Eugene.

Last season, these two teams met in Tucson, with the Wildcats dominating the Ducks in a 42-16 victory. The 26-point defeat was the worst loss that an Oregon team had suffered since a 44-10 loss at USC in 2008. Arizona (1-3 ATS) was outgained its opponent that day (506 to 482), but dominated the line of scrimmage, rushing for 304 yards while having the ball for 35:29. The best way to slow down the Ducks offense is to keep it off the field, and the Wildcats will try to do that again.

Arizona is coming off a thrilling victory against California, winning the game on a last second Hail Mary. However, the team has not done well the past three seasons coming off a big win, going 1-8 after two or more consecutive straight-up wins. Arizona has not defeated a ranked team on the road since a victory against USC in 2009, and lost 49-0 the last time it visited Eugene. The Ducks (1-3 ATS) had a week off after a much-tougher-than-expected victory against Washington State. That bye could play a big role in this game, as college football favorites of 21.5 to 31.5 points off a bye week are 51-17 ATS (75%) in the past 10 seasons. Oregon QB Marcus Mariota is one of the best players in the nation, but in the game last season, he threw two of his the interceptions he recorded on the season in that defeat. The only significant injury in this matchup is Oregon OL Jake Fisher (knee), who is considered questionable.

In the victory against Cal, the Wildcats scored 36 points in the final quarter to complete an incredible comeback. QB Anu Solomon (1,454 pass yards, 13 TD; 167 rush yards) had a huge game against the Bears, throwing for 520 yards. The freshman from Las Vegas has done a nice job of not turning the ball over this year, throwing only three interceptions. He is a big reason his team ranks in the Top 30 in the nation in passing (366 YPG, 8th), scoring (42.0 PPG, 16th) and 29th in rushing (228 YPG), making the offense very difficult to slow down. RB Nick Wilson (77 carries, 482 rush yards, 4 TD) explodes from the backfield, and is the perfect complement to the strong passing attack. The Wildcats have two wide receivers, Cayleb Jones (29 catches, 475 yards, 6 TD) and Austin Hill (15 catches, 263 yards, 3 TD) that are capable of stretching the defense. In the win against California, Jones had 13 catches for 186 yards and three touchdowns. Hill, on the other hand, caught the Hail Mary.

The Ducks have a star in the secondary in Ife Ekpre-Olomu, but he will be able to cover only one of those guys, and does not have the height to battle for the ball the pair of 6-foot-3 receivers. However, the offense should be able to score, but if the Wildcats are going to get the upset win, the defense will have to come to play. Linebacker Scooby Wright III (51 tackles, 7 TFL and 4 sacks) is the leader on a defense allowing a subpar 27.3 PPG (77th in the country). Senior safety Jared Tevis (37 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 1 INT) is a talented player that will play a huge role in this game. He will have to make sure the Ducks do not get behind him, while also having to help stop the run.

The Ducks have been one of the top offenses in the country the past few seasons, and this season is no different. Oregon enters this game ranked 4th in scoring (48.5 PPG), 16th in passing (330.3 YPG) and 33rd in rushing (225.3 YPG). There are so many players on this team that can make the can make the big play, but none of them do it better than QB Marcus Mariota (1,135 pass yards, 11.8 YPA, 13 TD, 0 INT) is as effective of a quarterback as there is in the country. He can provide the team with a big play at any given moment, but he also does not take the big risks that can hurt the team. Mariota has also gained 214 rushing yards and three touchdowns. However, his first instinct is not to run the ball, knowing he has teammates that can dominate the game from that position.

RB Royce Freeman (48 carries, 261 yards, 5 TD) is the workhorse back of the group, averaging 5.5 yards per carry. When the team is in third-and-short, this is the guy they are looking to. However, if they are seeking a long gainer, RB Byron Marshall (21 carries, 201 yards, 1 TD) is the man. Like the ground game, the Ducks rely on multiple players to catch passes from Mariota. WR Devon Allen (14 rec, 299 yards, 5 TD) has emerged as the top target for Mariota when he is attacking down the field. Marshall (235 rec. yards, 2 TD) and WR Keanon Lowe (13 rec, 221 yards, 3 TD) are also two guys that defenses have to focus on. Like the Wildcats, the offense is the strength of the Oregon team, but will need a huge performance from the defense to cover the hefty spread in this game.

The defense enters the game ranked 42nd in the nation in points allowed (21.3 PPG). However, that unit allowed Washington State to throw for 436 yards on them two weeks ago. Safety Reggie Daniels (28 tackles) is the leading tackler on this team, but he will be tested a lot. CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu (10 tackles) is one of the superior cover corners in the country, but he will have to remain disciplined for his team to get the sizable victory. DB Erick Dargan has three interceptions on the season, and he will also be counted upon to help slow down the Wildcats offense.

NCAAF Thursday Tip Sheet
By Joe Nelson

College football is back to open up October on Thursday night with a huge game in the Pac-12. Last week’s Thursday night Pac-12 clash proved to be a blowout, but this week’s matchup of undefeated teams could provide a great test for Oregon, one of the national favorites going against an upstart Arizona team that beat the Ducks last season.

Match-up: Arizona Wildcats at Oregon Ducks
Venue: Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon
Date: Thursday, October 2, 2014
Time/TV: 10:30 PM ET (ESPN)
Line: Oregon -23
Last Meeting: 2013 Arizona (+18.5) 42-16 at Arizona

Oregon has opened the season 4-0 with a big win over Michigan State under its belt. The Ducks are one of the favorites in the national picture this season, but the Pac-12 season will be a great challenge as the narrow conference opening win over Washington State displayed. While Stanford has handed Oregon its first loss each of the last two seasons, Arizona also beat Oregon last season in one of the more shocking results of the season.

Two weeks after then #2 Oregon lost at Stanford, they traveled to Tucson to face an Arizona team coming off back-to-back losses. Three Oregon turnovers helped the upset cause but Arizona dominated on the ground behind Ka’Deem Carey, with the Wildcats posting over 300 yards rushing. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota had an interception on the first play from scrimmage and Arizona was in control the entire way. The last time these teams met in Eugene featured quite a different result with Oregon winning 49-0 in 2012.

Rich Rodriguez has resurrected his career in Tucson with back-to-back 8-5 seasons and the window may be open for the Wildcats in the Pac-12 South to produce an even stronger season in 2014. Arizona is 4-0, but it has not been a dominant start with each of the last three wins coming in one-score games, including a miraculous comeback at home against California two weeks ago. This game could prove to be a pivotal point in the season for the Wildcats as next week Arizona hosts USC and losing back-to-back games could be a big blow for a young team.

In a bit of a surprise, redshirt freshmen Anu Solomon won the starting quarterback job for the Wildcats and he has played well with 13 touchdown passes in four games though he has three interceptions in his last two games. Solomon attempted 73 passes in the win over California while also rushing 16 times as he led Arizona to 36 fourth quarter points. Arizona was lucky to win on a Hail Mary pass in the end, but Solomon’s resolve and leadership should go a long way to building confidence with his teammates.

The Arizona defense allowed big numbers in the Cal game and the Wildcats are allowing over 27 points per game this season. While Solomon has been a bigger passing threat than most expected, this is still a great rushing team, posting 228 yards on the ground Nick Wilson leading the team with 482 yards on 6.3 yards per carry. Sophomore wide receiver Cayleb Jones already has 29 receptions this season including 22 in the last two games as the top aerial threat for the Wildcats.

Mariota is a Heisman Trophy frontrunner for the Ducks and he has 13 touchdowns and no interceptions in four games this season while also rushing for 214 yards. Mariota has taken 10 sacks already this season and it is clear that the Oregon offensive line is not as strong this year as in past seasons for the program. Oregon is rushing for 225 yards as a team, but that is an average well down from last season when the team rushed for 274 yards per game. Oregon is still the fourth-highest scoring team in the nation at this point in the season, however, averaging over 48 points per game. By season’s end, putting up 46 points against Michigan State should look pretty impressive, but the big win for the Ducks was a bit misleading with 21 unanswered points late in the game.

Oregon’s game with Washington State two weeks ago to open the Pac-12 season provided reason for concern for the Ducks. Oregon had clobbered Washington State in the previous two seasons with the Cougars led by Mike Leach. This year, the Cougars had the ball with a chance to tie the game late and the yardage in the game was nearly identical. Washington State had two turnovers compared to none for the Ducks and Mariota played a simply remarkable game to lead the Ducks to the win, completing 21 of 25 passes with five touchdowns.

Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday certainly exposed the Oregon defense in passing for 436 yards for Washington State and if not for a few key plays it could have been a huge upset that would have completely shaken up the Pac-12 picture. That success should give confidence to a more versatile Arizona offense entering this game.

While an 11-2 season in Mark Helfrich’s first season leading the Ducks is nothing to scoff at, Helfrich has huge shoes to fill taking over for Chip Kelly and the expectations will remain sky high. Next up on the schedule is a huge game at UCLA that many figure to be a preview of the Pac-12 title game at the end of the season. This may be the more important game for the Helfrich and the Ducks, needing to bounce back after a shaky performance and while seeking to avenge an embarrassing loss from last season.

Arizona Historical Trends: The Wildcats have covered in six of the last nine meetings with Oregon going back to 2005, but they are just 3-7 ATS at Oregon since 1989 with just one S/U win. Arizona is on a 97-80-2 ATS run as an underdog going back to 1980 including going 62-45 ATS as a road underdog and 27-18 ATS as a double-digit road underdog.

Oregon Historical Trends: Despite some inflated spreads in recent years, Oregon is 39-32-2 ATS at home since 2003, and 30-26-2 ATS as a home favorite since 2005. Oregon is just 8-13-1 ATS since 2011 as a favorite of 20 or more, however, including failing in all three instances already this season.


There are two additional games on the Thursday night:


Florida Atlantic at Florida International 7:00 PM ET (FS1)
Line: Florida Atlantic -7

Florida Atlantic has failed to cover in three straight meetings in this South Florida series, although the Owls won 21-6 with convincing numbers in last season’s meeting, holding FIU to just 132 yards. Both teams are coming off upset wins last week as Florida Atlantic beat Texas San Antonio, 41-37 and Florida International won at UAB, 34-20. Both teams caught some breaks last week, but the winner of this game should emerge in the Conference USA East race or at least the bowl picture with the victor moving to 3-3. Florida Atlantic has played the tougher schedule and has the better offensive numbers, but Florida International has been stout defensively while creating 17 turnovers in five games.

The Panthers do have the worst third down conversion percentage in the nation as the offense has been very limited. With junior quarterback Jaquez Johnson healthy, the Owls are the more viable offensive team and he had a great game last week in a significant win over UTSA. The spread was nearly four touchdowns for the Owls at home last season as Florida International was a 1-11 team last season closing out the season, but both of these teams have looked improved in 2014. Florida Atlantic is 6-2 ATS as a road favorite since 2007.


Central Florida at Houston 7:00 PM ET (ESPN)
Line: Houston -3

The Cougars have an impressive recent track record at home, but so far this season Houston has been a disappointment, failing in its two biggest games with losses to Texas-San Antonio at home and at BYU. This is the first AAC game of the season and after losing 19-14 to the eventual conference champions last season, this is a big game on the schedule. Central Florida has already lost more games than last season in a 1-2 start although both losses came against quality teams away from home.

UCF has had a lot of time to prepare for this game in what may prove to be a critical game to turn the season around for a program that has been very successful in now 11 seasons under George O’Leary. Both Houston wins have come against FCS foes, but the Knights have struggled this season and the strong run defense for UCF may not be a huge factor in this matchup given Houston’s tendency to pass. Opponents have converted over 50 percent of third down plays vs. UCF this season which is a concern for a defense-oriented squad. Central Florida is 11-6 ATS as a single-digit road underdog since 2005, but Houston is 19-9-1 ATS as a home favorite since 2008.

Game of the Day: Arizona at Oregon

Arizona Wildcats at Oregon Ducks (-23.5, 76)

Two of the final three undefeated Pac-12 teams meet Thursday as Arizona visits fourth-ranked Oregon, which is looking to avenge last season’s 42-16 loss. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, who threw two interceptions in last season’s defeat, leads the Heisman Trophy race with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions while completing 74 percent of his passes through four games. Mariota should thrive against the Pac-12’s second-worst passing efficiency defense, but Arizona’s explosive offense has the weapons to keep pace.

Both teams are playing for the first time since Sept. 20, when the Wildcats used a Hail Mary pass from Anu Solomon to Austin Hill on the final play of the game to record a 49-45 win over California. Mariota was sacked seven times in the Ducks’ 38-31 triumph at Washington State, but he passed for 329 yards and five touchdowns - including the game-winner with less than six minutes remaining. Arizona, which snapped its five-game losing streak against Oregon last season, has won three of its four contests this year by seven points or fewer.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE HISTORY: Sportsbooks opened the Ducks as 22.5-point faves but that is now -23.5. The total opened at76.

INJURY REPORT: Arizona - DL Jeffrey Worthy (Questionable, concussion), WR Samajie Grant (Questionable, concussion).

WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the high-50s under clear skies. Wind will blow across the field at 4 mph.

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "Revenge looms large for the Ducks who dropped a 42-16 decision as 18.5-point favorites at Arizona last year. With Wildcats coach Rich Rodriguez 0-6 ATS in his last six games versus undefeated conference opponents, it would be no surprise to see the Wildcats to lose for the 11th time in a row in an away game off a pair of home games when facing a foe off a win." Marc Lawrence.

ABOUT ARIZONA (4-0 SU 1-0 Pac-12, 1-3 ATS, 2-2 O/U): Solomon, a redshirt freshman, overcame a slow start and completed 47-of-73 passes for a school-record 520 yards and five touchdowns against California. Wide receiver Cayleb Jones is an emerging star for the Wildcats’ offense, which averages 405 yards and features freshman Nick Wilson - who ranks second in the Pac-12 in rushing yards (482) and yards per game (120). The defense allowed 573 yards against California, but linebacker Scooby Wright III has been a bright spot as he leads the Pac-12 with 12.8 tackles per game.

ABOUT OREGON (4-0 SU 1-0 Pac-12, 1-3 ATS, 2-2 O/U): The bye week came at an opportune time for Oregon, which needed the extra rest to improve an offensive line that lost tackles Tyler Johnstone, Andre Yruretagoyena and Jake Fisher to leg injuries early in the season. The Ducks’ defense allowed 436 passing yards against Washington State and will be tested again by the Wildcats, who are hoping to repeat last year’s effort as they were 6-for-6 inside the red zone. “It’s a new year, and new teams, and I feel like both teams are better,” receiver Keanon Lowe told goducks.com. “That being said, we remember vividly that feeling of going in Arizona and getting our butt whooped.”

TRENDS:

* Home team is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings.
* Ducks are 0-5 ATS in their last five conference games.
* Under is 4-0 in Ducks last four Thursday games.
* Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last five Thursday games.

CONSENSUS: 50.17 percent of bettors are backing the visiting Wildcats.

Ducks causing headaches for spread bettors at home
Stephen Campbell

The Oregon Ducks have not been a good play against the spread at home, covering in just one of their previous five games at Autzen Stadium.

No. 4 ranked Oregon will try and buck that trend Thursday when they host the Arizona Wildcats in Week 6 college football action.

The Ducks are presently 23.5-point home faves for the matchup.
