The Gamecocks come into this game off 3 straight blowout wins over Southern Miss (44-7), Kennesaw State (63-24) and New Mexico State (54-13). The Gamecocks have played five of their six games Over the total this season, but we'll look for a much lower-scoring game tonight. Indeed, NCAA teams off back to back games where they topped 50 points have gone Under 56%. Additionally, the Under falls into 126-61 and 141-73 Totals systems of mine. Take the Under. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Additionally, in Aaron Rodgers’ career starts, his teams have gone 58-31-1 ATS following a point spread defeat. And Rodgers has also gone 3-0 ATS vs. the Steelers. Lay the points.

At 4:05 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Washington/Carolina game. Each of these two teams has played five of their six games Over the total. Of course, the reasons for this are vastly different. The Commanders' games have been going over due to an offense which has averaged 29.66 ppg, while the Panthers' games have been going over due to a defense which has given up 33.83 ppg. But teams with horrible defenses that give up more than 31 ppg tend to go under the total (371-297 UNDER), as do match-ups between teams that average 29+ points and teams that give up 29+ points. Take the UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Dating back to 1980, NFL games have tended to go under the total when each team was off 3 overs, and especially if they both went over the total by 10+ points in their previous game. In that situation, the under has cashed 69 percent over the last 45 seasons. We’ll take the UNDER in Seattle/Atlanta.

And Utah is 1-0 ATS this season when not favored, but 0-4 ATS this season when laying points. We'll stick with these trends and play on TCU as a dog, as it falls into 126-46, 70-17 and 175-82 ATS systems of mine that take certain teams off upset losses, while Utah falls into a negative 49-127 ATS system of mine, based on its upset loss in its previous game.

The Red Raiders were a 6.5-point underdog, and won that game outright, 28-22. Off that upset loss, we'll take the Wildcats to bounce back at BYU. Since 1980, the Cougars have covered just 25% as a home favorite off a SU win, vs. opponents off home upset defeats. Meanwhile, Arizona is an awesome 17-6 ATS as an underdog in conference games off an upset loss. Grab the points with Arizona. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

They now have to play another undefeated team -- the #22-ranked Panthers. We'll fade California, as it's an awful 0-8 ATS its last 8 (and 1-11 ATS its last 12) off a home game where it lost SU and covered the spread. And Pitt is 5-0 ATS its last 5 home games. Finally, at Game 6 forward, NCAA home teams with a win percentage greater than .750, have cashed 58% when favored by 7 or less points against foes off an ATS win. Lay the points with Pitt.

At 7:30 pm, on Wednesday, our selection is on the Jacksonville St. Gamecocks minus the points over New Mexico St. The Aggies have been competitive at home this season, with a narrow, 30-24, loss to Liberty (as a 22-point dog), and a 50-40 loss to New Mexico (as a 9.5-point dog). But on the road, it's been a different story. The Aggies were shut out, 48-0, by Fresno (as a 20-point dog), and blown out, 31-11, by Sam Houston St. (as a 15-point dog). Taken together, the Aggies have covered the spread by an average of 7.75 ppg in their home FBS games, but have FAILED to cover the spread in their road FBS games by 16.5 ppg. Given that this game is being played in Jacksonville, New Mexico St.'s home/road splits don't bode well for it on Wednesday night. Even worse: the Aggies are 21-42 ATS when getting 20+ points, including 0-5 ATS when rested. Lay the points with Jacksonville St. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

We'll take Dallas to get off the point spread schneid tonight, and grab the points with the underdog. Indeed, Dallas is a solid 61.2% since 1980 off back-to-back ATS losses, if they won their previous game, straight-up (and 73% off 3 ATS losses). Also, in NFL match-ups between .500 (or better) teams, underdogs of less than 6 points off 3 ATS losses have gone 68-46-3 ATS, including 31-9-1 ATS off a straight-up win. Take Dallas + the points.

At 7:45 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the LSU/South Alabama game. The Over/Under number for this game has been installed in the mid-60s. I look for a relatively low-scoring game, as the UNDER falls into a 70-23 Totals system of mine. Moreover, the Jaguars have gone 41-23-3 UNDER when the O/U line was greater than 54 points. Take LSU and South Alabama UNDER. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the Ohio State Buckeyes minus the points over Michigan State. The Spartans have been installed as a huge underdog in East Lansing. Unfortunately, Michigan State has been miserable in the role of a big dog, as they've covered just one of their last 11 when getting more than 13 points. Ohio State is absolutely loaded with talent this season, and is the current favorite (at 7-2 odds) to win the National Championship. The Buckeyes have completely dominated Sparty the last eight years, as they're 8-0 SU. They're also 7-0 ATS over the last seven seasons vs. MSU, covering the spread by an average of 14.21 ppg. And Ohio State is 75-48-4 ATS as a road favorite. Lay the points with the Buckeyes. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Saturday, our selection is on the Clemson Tigers minus the points over Stanford. Last week, the Cardinal upset Syracuse in their maiden ACC Conference game, 26-24, as a 9.5-point road underdog. Off that huge upset win, we will fade Stanford in Death Valley on Saturday night. Stanford is a wallet-busting 25-41 ATS off an upset win, including 0-9 ATS when catching 13.5 (or more) points. And Clemson is a sensational 23-7-1 ATS vs. foes off an upset win, including 8-0 ATS when favored by 19+ points. The Tigers blew out NC State, 59-35, last Saturday. And that bodes well for Dabo Swinney's men, as Clemson is 19-3 ATS after scoring more than 56 points. Lay the wood with the Tigers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

The Wolverines have gone 0-8-1 ATS at home following an upset win as a 4-point (or greater) underdog. Even worse: after defeating USC at home, conference foes have covered just 15 of 46 conference games. Finally, Big 10 Conference teams, after an upset home win the previous week, have gone 2-18 ATS at home vs. .600 (or worse) conference foes. Look for U-M to suffer a letdown on Saturday.

And that upset loss followed Northern Illinois' huge upset win at Notre Dame, as a 27.5-point road dog. Certainly, it wasn't a surprise that the Huskies had a letdown following its win in South Bend. After all, teams off upset wins over Notre Dame generally fall flat in their subsequent game. But off its own upset defeat, we'll take Northern Illinois to bounce back on Tobacco Road against NC State. The Huskies are a sensational 54-28-1 ATS as a road underdog. And they're also 9-3 ATS off an upset loss, including 5-0 ATS on the road. Meanwhile, NC State is a poor 3-13 ATS as a favorite/PK vs. a foe off an upset loss. Take N. Illinois.

Greg Schiano's Scarlet Knights have been installed as a small home favorite vs. the Huskies. And we'll lay the points, as Rutgers is 18-9 ATS its last 27 as a favorite. Additionally, Big 10 Conference teams are a woeful 35-58-3 ATS in their first road game of the season, if they were off a SU/ATS win, and their opponent wasn't off a SU loss.
