Stephen Nover's CFB Saturday Totals Crusher - 72-33-1 CFB Totals!

Match Up	Pick	Rating	Score	Result	Profit	Analysis
White Sox vs Red Sox	Red Sox -1½ +100	Free	2-3	Loss	-100	Show
Neither team is playing well. Boston is at least mediocre. The White Sox are just plain terrible, especially on the road where they are 28-50. I see a kill spot here for the Red Sox with prideful Chris Sale getting the start. The former White Sox ace has endured another injury-plagued season. But Sale is building up his endurance. He looked very good in his last outing this past Saturday, giving up one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 10 in six-plus innings against the Blue Jays. The White Sox are going with Touki Toussaint. At one time I thought he might turn into a good pitcher. It hasn't happened. Toussiant is 4-7 with a 5.40 ERA. He has a 5.79 lifetime ERA against the Red Sox. Look for the Red Sox to take their frustrations out on the White Sox and beat them by multiple runs. (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 27-9-1 on his last 37 baseball premium plays. He is 71-33-1 on his last 105 college football totals plays and 44-28-1 on his past 73 Canadian Football League plays. Stephen has premium plays going in each of these sports today along with this free selection.)
Orioles vs Guardians	Orioles +105	Premium	8-9	Loss	-100	Show
The pitching matchup is Shane Bieber versus Dean Kremer. That is misleading. So are the Guardians being the favorites. Cleveland is eight games below .500 on the season. Baltimore is 37 games above .500. The Guardians are trying to keep their faint playoff hopes alive. It's not realistic. The Orioles have motivation, too, being just 1 1/2 games ahead of the Rays in the AL East. Bieber isn't the Bieber of past dominant seasons. He was 5-6 with a 3.77 ERA before going on the IL following his July 9 start. He hadn't pitched since and will be on around an 80-pitch count. Kremer is 12-5 with a 4.17 ERA. That ERA drops to 3.51 when he pitches on the road.
BC vs Edmonton Elks	Edmonton Elks +6½ -110	Premium	37-29	Loss	-110	Show
BC may not have much left in the tank after pulling out a 41-37 victory against Ottawa last Saturday after staging their greatest home comeback. The Lions were down 19 points after the third quarter and trailed by 16 with 2:22 left. The Lions' final points came on a TD pass with 16 seconds left. Now the Lions have to travel to Edmonton. They are 2-0 against the Elks beating them by a combined, 49-0. That was part of Edmonton's 0-9 start. However, Edmonton has turned around its season with a QB change to Tre Ford. Sparked by Ford, the Elks are 4-1 in their last five games and highly motivated. Edmonton is averaging 30.5 points in its last four games. BC is surrendering an average of 31.5 points in its last four games.
Wisconsin vs Purdue	OVER 53 -110	Top Premium	38-17	Win	100	Show
Wisconsin is more balanced on offense, but weaker on defense. Purdue is weak defensively. So look for a higher total than what the oddsmaker has projected. The Boilermakers are surrendering 30.3 points a game and rank 108th in total defense. SMU transfer Tanner Mordecai is Wisconsin's best QB since Russell Wilson. One thing that hasn't changed about the Badgers is having a star running back. That's Braelon Allen. But he's not even the Badgers' leading rusher. Chez Mellusi is. He and Allen are averaging a combined 174 yards rushing a game. They each have four TD's. Purdue hasn't faced this good of an offense having played Fresno State, Virginia Tech and Syracuse. The Boilermakers aren't going to get many stops. But the Badgers are going to encounter their own defense struggles trying to contain QB Hudson Card as their secondary is way down from past seasons. Wisconsin ranks 115th in pass defense. Georgia Southern QB Davis Brin threw for 383 yards against Wisconsin last week. Card is better than Brin. Both teams play at a faster than average tempo, too.
