This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS for our Saturday Free Play. We are taking a flyer here in one of the best spots you can come across. Rutgers is off to a 0-2 start as it got rolled by Massachusetts in its season opener and then lost at Boston College last week despite doing some good things. The Scarlet Knights went 2-5 on fourth down and turned the ball over four times in the one possession loss and now they open up Big Ten Conference play in what might sound like an oxymoron, but a favorable spot. USC is off to a 3-0 start with three wins all coming at home and against inferior opposition. The Trojans did shut out Fresno St. but that was sandwiched around two games where the defense was exposed and now they not only hit the road, but hit it running. This team has been horrible in this situation as USC is 3-15 ATS in its last 18 games in the Eastern and Central Time Zones so while they don’t travel well to begin with, this is not only the first roadtrip, they host Oregon next week. This is a spot to show up and just get out with a win with zero motivation. Play (148) Rutgers Scarlet Knights

College Football is off to an 11-8 start and 40-21 L61 with another overreaction week upcoming. FIVE Winners. NFL won with the Bills on Thursday and is Fargo is at 60 percent to start the season. Full card upcoming.

This is a play on the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS for our CFB Saturday Ultimate Dog. This is a low key rivalry game that is finally back on for the first time since 2002 and it is being played on a neutral field with the line being inflated for Virginia with a lot of that based on its big win over NC State to open the season and its current ranking. What we like better is the way West Virginia has looked on offense and has the potential for success. The key for the Mountaineers will be controlling the line of scrimmage and allowing quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. to use his mobility to extend plays. West Virginia has averaged 41.5 ppg, giving it enough offensive firepower to challenge Virginia's defense, especially on the ground. Virginia deserves respect at No. 25, but the Cavaliers are being asked to win by more than a touchdown, and that creates value on the West Virginia side and it is another game with the rushing dog shortening the game. Here, we play on teams on a neutral field after allowing three points or less in the first half last game. This situation is 33-15 ATS (68.8 percent) since 2022. 10* (188) West Virginia Mountaineers

This is a play on the RICE OWLS for our Saturday Contrarian Crusher. Rice was a big letdown last week as it fumbled four times in the first half but the Owls failed to get the backdoor as they had their late opportunities but failed. They are back home catching a big number and it is a decent advantage playing in the heat and humidity that Western Michigan is not used to. Part of the capping last week was that Rice would use its option game to shorten the contest and they will now have the edge of a shortened game and getting points as Western Michigan is also run heavy so catching a big number in a game atmosphere like this is big. The Broncos are coming off a win over Monmouth last week but they were outgained in doing so which came after the Michigan controversy and because of that, they are now a public team. Here, we play against road favorites of 3.5 to 10 points in the first month of the season off a home win by 17 points or more after closing out last season strong with 4 or more straight wins. This situation is 26-6 ATS (81.3 percent) since 1992. 10* (182) Rice Owls

This is a play on the LIBERTY FLAMES for our CFB Saturday Signature Enforcer. Liberty is coming off a one point win against Gardner Webb of the FCS with the latter being the more fired up team as their head coach was fired for misconduct after coaching just one game so they came together as a team. That narrow win is keeping this number within reach as the Flames are not going to be very popular. They outgained James Madison in the season opener but suffered another one possession loss which has marred them of late and that includes three overtime losses last season. Ball St. is one of the worst teams in the FBS as the win last week was against one of the worst teams in the FCS in Stony Brook. This is a woodshed game and the value is huge. Here, we play against underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points in the first month of the season, after closing out last season with 2 or more straight losses against opponent after closing out last season with 4 or more straight losses. This situation is 41-16 ATS (71.9 percent) since 1992. 10* (156) Liberty Flames

This is a play on the KANSAS ST. WILDCATS for our Saturday Revenge Rout. Kansas St. has not been tested yet with its two wins and it will not be tested here either. The Wildcats have outgained their two opponents by an average of 279 ypg while the offense is averaging 303.5 ypg on the ground and that is bad news for Tulane. The Green Wave have been outgained in both games while allowing 216 ypg rushing and they are coming off a fake win last week over South Alabama as they were outgained and out first downed 25-13. While it was in 2022, Kansas St. is playing with revenge from a 17-10 loss and while none of the current Wildcat players were involved, head coach Collin Klein has been feeding them this week how the university and program were embarrassed. Here, we play on home favorites of 10.5 to 21 points from a Power 4 conference and with an experienced quarterback going up against a G6 team and with an inexperienced QB, in the first month of the season. This situation is 47-20 ATS (70.1 percent) since 1992. 10* (124) Kansas St. Wildcats

This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our ACC Game of the Month. Clemson got blown out by LSU in its season opener and the box score did not lie as the Tigers were utterly dominated from start to finish. They defeated Georgia Southern last week 22-7 and it was supposed to be the get right game and that score does not show that. They had two redzone turnovers and had to settle for five field goals so it should have been a lot worse and now is the true get right game in this conference opener in a highly motivated situation. North Carolina upset TCU in its season opener and then defeated East Tennessee St. of the FCS last week after a but and now the Tar Heels hit the highway for their first true road game. The departure of defensive coordinator Steve Belichick and everything surrounding it could cause an unnecessary distraction. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 with four or fewer defensive starters returning. This situation is 88-51 ATS (63.3 percent) since 2022. 10* (120) Clemson Tigers
