Seeing some totals movement for a couple of East Coast game with dicey weather forecasts. Illinois-Penn State was bet down to 39.5. West Virginia-Rutgers down from 54 to 53. And Boston College-Maryland from 51.5 to as low as 50 (Grande). Weather reports courtesy of Sports Options. Be sure to double check tomorrow morning.

Piscataway: CLOUDY, 60% CHANCE SHOWERS. NORTHEAST WIND 12-17, GUSTY. KICKOFF TEMP 42, WIND CHILL 34

State College: CLOUDY, 70% CHANCE SNOW. NORTH WIND 11-16. KICKOFF TEMP 35, WIND CHILL 26 SNOWFALL MAY BE 2-4 INCHES; SNOW MAY MIX WITH RAIN

College Park: MOSTLY CLOUDY, 40% CHANCE RAIN EARLY. NORTHWEST WIND 12-17. KICKOFF TEMP 41, WIND CHILL 33 RAIN MAY BE MIXED WITH WET SNOW

From Rob Veno: Also include the Virginia Tech-Duke and Tulane-East Carolina games to the weather watch. Even though it won't rain during the games, it will rain right up until game time and then winds are expected to pick up – wet fields with wind and three of the four are passing teams. I was going to play both (15* ECU over) but removed them from the card.

 

BYU at TCU (Friday, 5 pm PT – ESPN)
CRIS Opener: TCU -12 O/U 55.5
CRIS Current: TCU -13.5 O/U 56
Rob Veno Power Rating: TCU -11

Marty Otto’s Betting Take: I’m not sure I buy into the notion that BYU’s offense is growing. Sure, since the switch to quarterback Riley Nelson the Cougars have enjoyed a nice string of wins and points (41 ppg). But look at that schedule and you’ll notice it’s littered with abysmal defensive teams; San Jose State and Oregon State are tied for 83rd nationally in scoring defense while Idaho State ranks 105th in the FCS. I’d say this team hasn’t been tested in the slightest and any perceived improvement may be premature.

Granted, TCU’s defense looked as bad as any in the country in its Week 1 loss to Baylor.  Quarterback Robert Griffin torched the Horned Frogs and the track Read more

Second half kick-off list

That will wrap it up for today. Good luck with tonight's plays.

(2:32 PT) Over bettors rejoice! Back-to-back kock return touchdowns in Texas-Oklahoma State game. OSU up 28-17.

(2:26 PT) Line move alert: Money coming in on Florida....now -3 at Pinnacle and Grande.

(2:24 PT) Rob Veno recommends Northern Illinois Over 33.5 2nd half.

(2:16 PT) Andrew Lange recommends Northern Illinois -0.5 2nd half.

(2:10 PT) From Teddy: First estimates of South Carolina safety...$30 million changed hands.

(2:08 PT) Two blocked FGs in final five minutes of Rutgers-Navy. Midshipmen block one with 30 seconds left as Rutgers was up 21-20. Navy cashes +3.5/+3 tickets.

(1:56 PT) Washington no punts 1st H, 5-5 on 3rd downs. Up 38-10 at half on Colorado.

(1:53 PT) Teddy Covers recommends South Florida -4.5 2nd half.

(1:37 PT) Bloodbath in Champaign: 161 yards combined, Buckeyes up 3-0. No turnovers either. Approaching halftime.

(1:35 PT) From Marty: Until this current drive, which started at the Miami-OH 2-yard line, the RedHawks had run 24 plays for zero total yards according to the radio guy.

(1:28 PT) And just like that, Georgia Tech answers with back-to-back TDs to tie it up against Virginia.

(1:12 PT) Not a good start for Northern Illinois. INT inside WMU's 10, fumbled punt, running into kicker and now holding on KO. Lucky to be down 6-0. Huskies a bit too hyped early.

(12:58 PT) Bye week prior to Georgia Tech Virginia up 14-0 early.

(12:38 PT) Zoinks. South Carolina goes intentional safety up 14-10. Final score 14-12...Mississippi State +3 and +2.5 tickets cash. Wow.

(12:33 PT) South Carolina defense comes up big. Mississippi State driving down 14-10. Gamecocks force INT. Looks like Spurrier will survive sans Garcia.

(12:29 PT) Wow. Pittsburgh fails to score a conventional touchdown in 26-14 loss to Utah. KO return and punt block only scores. 120 yards, 2.0 Read more

Florida at Auburn (4 pm PT, ESPN)
CRIS Opener: Florida -1.5 O/U 50.5
CRIS Current: Florida -2 O/U 49.5
Rob Veno Power Rating: Auburn pk

Marty Otto’s Betting Take: The fact we’ve seen these two offenses scuffle the past two games shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The Gators lost their starting quarterback and were up against two of the most dominant defenses in all of college football. The Tigers were dealing with injuries to key skill position talent while on the road against two good defenses as well. But perhaps those dreadful showings serve as a positive for those looking to play the over this weekend.

What these two offenses lack in passing production right now they can potentially make up for with explosive running attacks on Saturday. Granted both defenses will likely scheme to stop the run first and foremost but will Read more
