Phil's Forecast:

Memphis

Houston Leaders

Houston had a 3 game win streak in the series snapped last year with rumors of coach Herman leaving for Texas swirling around. The Cougars (trailed by 17 at HT) took their first lead of the gm w/7:02 left, 37-34 and led 44-41 w/just 1:29. UM drove 72/5pl getting a GW 10 yd TD pass w/:19 on 3&5. Memphis has the edge on offense led by QB Riley Ferguson (19-5 ratio) and RB’s Darrell Henderson (542, 8.1) and Patrick Taylor (307, 5.4). Houston went to Kyle Postma at QB and he is hitting 66%, but with a 4-5 ratio. Memphis also has the ST edge (#13 vs #70). Houston has a good-sized edge on defense (#41 vs #94) and is holding foes to 48 ypg below their season average. Houston has played the tougher schedule (#65 vs #92). Houston is playing to an average game grade of 86.8 and Memphis to 82.2 and I will side with the home team here. I expect this to go to the wire for the 4th straight year.

Arkansas St

Last year Ark St had a 15 game SBC win streak snapped despite having a 521-292 yard edge and 28-15 FD edge. LTH Ark St led 37-14 late 3Q winning 37-27. LA has gone to Andre Nunez at QB and he is not the runner that Jordan Davis was but is a much stronger passer and is hitting 65% with a 4-1 ratio. Trey Ragas has 525 (6.4) rush yards. Justice Hansen is hitting 65% with a 19-6 ratio and and is averaging 33 ypg above what their opponents allow (LA is -19). Both defenses struggle with LA allowing opp’s 86 above their season average and ASt 117 above. They have each faced a weak schedule (#127 vs #128).

WKU DB's

Old Dominion QB/WR

WKU is 3-0 in the series winning by 25 ppg with the two teams averaging 95 ppg. ODU trailed 49-7 late 1H in a 59-24 loss. Old Dominion is 8-3 hosting CUSA foes (4-0 LY, +127 ypg), but their banged-up squad lost to Florida Atlantic 58-28 in their first conference home game this year. RB Ray Lawry had missed 4 games, but returned last week (14-40). Jeremy Cox had 202 vs FAU and leads with 431 (4.2). They went to 17 year old QB Steven Williams and in his 3 starts they are averaging 10.3 ppg and he is hitting 42% with a 4-6 ratio. ODU’s offense is avg 118 ypg below what their opponents normally allow and the defense is giving up 72 ypg above what teams normally gain. They have lost their last 4 games by 32.5 ppg, which is 18 ppg more than Vegas thought they would! The buy sign may have finally gone on for WKU as last week they tried more downfileld throws and that ignited the offense to 627 yards and 45 points. They had been averaging 136 ypg below what opp’s had been allowing, but had 201 above last week. QB Mike White had a 37-7 ratio last year, but was just 2-3 until last weeks 5-0 ratio. They have the edge on defense (#78 vs #114) and ST’s (#39 vs #96). While ODU has a solid home crowd, they are 1-5 as a home dog.

Marshall

The home team is 4-0 in this series. LY MT (-8’) played without QB Brent Stockstill (inj) and MU trailed 17-14 at HT before scoring 28 unanswered in the 2H in a 42-17 win at home for the Herd. MT will be without Stockstill here again and last year he had a 31-7 ratio while John Urzua has a 6-8 ratio this year. Marshall has been a money maker on these pages and are 5-1 versus the Vegas number this year with their only loss being an 11 point win as a 14 point favorite. While both teams allow 3.5 ypc rush, Marshall gives up just 54% completions and MT 64%. MT lost star RB I'Tavious Mathers to graduation this year and he had over 2,000 yards, 6.8 ypc and 20 TD’s out of the backfield last year. Marshall QB Chase Litton has a 13-3 ratio and their lone loss this year was to a powerful NCState team on the road and they were only outgained by 34 yards. Marshall continues to roll along and grabs the road win. 69 Marshall 22-15

Nevada Pts

Air Force is playing their 3rd road game in 4 weeks and the home team is 3-0 in the series and they last met in ‘14. Nevada has been impressive in many of their games this year. They led Northwestern 20-17 on the road in the 4Q. They were only outgained by 40 yards by Toledo. Last week they led Colorado St by 4 in the 4th quarter with Ty Gangi throwing for 428 yards and 4 TD’s vs the powerful Rams. Two weeks ago, RB Kelton Moore rushed for 216 vs Hawaii. Nevada HC Norvell has yet to face the option and Air Force is +54 ypg this year and Nevada is -103 ypg. Nevada has faced the tougher schedule (#73 vs #94) and I agree with my computer and will call for them to keep this closer than expected.

POSITIONAL EDGE AWARDED TO:

The Rams have won 7 straight over the Lobos by 17 ppg. LY NM trailed 49-17 into the 4Q. The Lobos gained 36% (133) of their yards in 4Q garbage time including a 79 yd TD run w/5:10 left (CSU ran out clock). Colo St has been dominant most of the year and their offense is averaging 101 ypg above what their opponents usually allow. They average 5.0 ypc and 64% completions. They had about 150 yards passing taken away vs Colorado on 3 very questionable offensive pass interference calls or would be even more potent. This is their 3rd road game in 4 weeks. Colo St has taken on the tougher schedule (#84 vs #106) and I like the Rams to grab their 3rd solid MW road win this year.

Phil's Forecast:

Iowa had a 3 game series win streak snapped last year and are fresh off a bye and playing with revenge. LTH in the ranked meeting the Hawkeyes scored the first 16 pts, but only led 16-10 at HT. Iowa held NW to 0 pts, 74 yds & forced 2 TO’s in the 2H in a 40-10 Iowa win. Iowa is 9-2 their L/12 Big Ten AG’s and comes in fresh off a bye. In the last 4 games Iowa is allowing 174 ypg rush and 5.0 ypc. In the last 4 games Northwestern is allowing 96.2 ypg rush and 2.8 ypc. NW has taken on the tougher schedule (#18 vs #44). While Iowa only lost to Penn St by 2 they were outgained by 306 yards and Saquon Barkley had 211 (7.5) and 94 more receiving. NW lost to Penn St by 24, but was only -116 yards and held Saqon to -3 rush in the 1H and 84 total yds for the game. NW led Wisconsin 10-7 at half and Penn St 10-0 and Iowa is not in those teams leagues and cannot wear NW down like they did. If you go thru Iowa's entire schedule the final scores have been misleading in their favor in all but one game and despite being 4-2 they are -32 ypg and NW is +27. NW ranks higher on both offense and defense in my ratings and is at home.

1st meeting. the Golden Hurricane are just 4-8 on the AAC road, the avg win has been by 16 ppg, losses LY by 7 & 2 pts. Both teams run a hurry up spread offense, but Tulsa has personnel recruited for it and have been doing it longer, while UC has pro style personnel and is in the first year of the offense. Tulsa played poorly in 3 weeks defending the option, but last week beat Houston 45-17 although they only had a 12 yard edge. UConn upset Temple at home, but was outgained 244-473. Tulsa has gone to Luke Skipper at QB and he is a stronger passer, although they still bring Chad President off the bench to run the ball. UConn has my #114 D and Tulsa #129 with each allowing 560 ypg. Tulsa has a good-sized edge on offense and has faced my #42 schedule and UConn just #112.

Phil's Forecast:

Comp-Att-Yds Las Vegas Line Troy is 3-1 in the series and LY trailed GSt 14-6 mid 3Q but led 31-14 and won 31-

21. They lost the last road game at Georgia St 31-21 in ‘15 in the Georgia Dome and this is their first appearance at Georgia State Stadium (Old Turner Field). Troy comes in off a rare loss. LY off an upset loss at home to Ark St they thrashed Texas St 40-7 (-28). The schedules are close, but Troy is +87 ypg and Georgia St is +3 ypg. Troy RB Jordan Chunn (514, 5.1) did get injured in their upset loss to SAla and is questionable. They do have the stronger offense and defense. They allow just 321 total ypg and 2.9 ypc rush, while Georgia St is at 396 ypg and 4.4 ypc rush. GSt QB Conner Manning just threw for a career high 26-35-446-4-0 vs ULM on the road and is back home. Georgia St is 3-0 in the Sun Belt and will have an angry Troy’s full attention.

Cincy is 2-0 in AAC play vs SMU winning just 28-25 at home and 41-3 on the road in ‘13 & ‘14. Cincinnati has faced the #39 schedule and SMU just #102 having faced Michigan, Navy, Marshall, UCF and USF who combined for 3 losses. It is no surprise they are -95 ypg and SMU vs the softer slate is +70 ypg with their wins over SFA, NTexas, Ark St and UConn. Cincy is playing at a 75.0 level and SMU at 86.2 so my average game grades have SMU favored by 7. If you are a pure stat guy you love SMU here, but if the two teams switched schedules you could argue Cincy would be 4-2 and SMU 2-5 at this point. Cincy is actually +16 and +9 vs opp averages this year so be careful here.

Las Vegas Line North Texas has won 4 in a row in the series by 11 ppg and they last met in ‘14 with NT winning 31-10 as a HD. FAU is fresh off a bye and at home. Last year North Texas avg 61 ypg below what their opp’s usually allowed, but it is amazing what a bowl trip can do. This year they are +126 in that category which is 7th best in the country and QB Mason Fine who had a 6-5 ratio last year, has a 14-5 ratio already this year. RB Jeffery Wilson has 749 (6.9 rush) and the D is holding foes to 11 ypg below their averages. FAU has played the slightly tougher schedule (#98 vs #111) and the last two weeks beat a couple of injury plagued teams. Their D is allowing 91 ypg above opp’s averages. OC Briles' offense has averaged 351.5 ypg rush with 6.6 ypc the last 4 weeks and should get the home win.

Last Five Years Meetings (Last 17 years at PhilSteele.com)

Miami, OH

21-40-193

Phil's Forecast:

LY Miami led 20-0, but Buffalo cut it in half w/11:08 3Q. The RedHawks basically put it away w/2 3Q De’Andre Montgomery defensive TDs (20 yd IR & 92 yd FR) & led 35-10 w/under 7 mins left. Buffalo got 2 late gbg td’s 35-24. Who would have thought I would be comparing Gus Ragland to Aaron Rodgers at this point of the season. I feel Green Bay has an average team, but Rodgers made them a Super Bowl contender. They are probably not even a playoff team without him. Miami was 0-6 last year then Gus Ragland took over at QB and they went 6-0 and got to a bowl. This year they looked like a MAC East favorite and beat CMich on the road by 17. Ragland got injured vs BG and they blew a lead and lost and last week lost to Kent by 3 without him. He is out here. In 2 years Ragland is hitting 60% with a 29-5 ratio and Billy Bahl is at 50% with a 10-6 ratio. Buffalo has impressed me every week this year with 4 losses by 4.5 ppg all vs bowl caliber teams. Miami’s D is allowing foes 23 ypg above their season average, but Buffalo is at 99 above. Prior to the year Miami would have been about a 17 point favorite and their backs are to the wall.

Akron K

Akron ST's Phil's Forecast:

The home team is 4-1, but LY was that one as Toledo went on the road and trailed 10-3 in the 2Q, but won 48-17. Akron has opened up MAC play at 3-0, despite losing top RB Warren Ball 3 rush attempts into the first conf game. He is still their leading rusher. Akron is on a short week after having last weeks game at Western Michigan moved to Sunday, but it was worth it as the Zips pulled the upset 14-13 in a game they led wire to wire. They are actually -73 ypg in MAC play. Toledo lost their top WR Cody Thompson at the start of their MAC opener, but are 2-0 and +124 ypg in their 2 conf games. Both teams allowed just 13 ppg in MAC play. Despite the scheduling edge for the Rockets, I think Akron keeps this closer than expected.

Played every yr s/’49. LY Ohio led 14-0 w/7:35 2Q. Kent St cut it to 4 w/6:36 3Q (no scoring rest of the way). Kent St lost QB Nick Holley very early in the 3rd game of the season and they have played 7, but he is still their leading rusher. OU has the edges on offense, defense and special teams. Kent has faced the tougher schedule (#61 vs #119) and yet they are holding foes to 2 yards below their season average (have faced Clemson, Louisville) and Ohio is allowing foes 71 ypg above their season average. Kent is just -25 ypg in MAC games and Ohio just +21.

The home team is actually 8-3 in this series despite EM being just 3-17 in MAC HG’s and WM is 19-6 in the series including 3 straight wins. WMich played a 7 OT game two weeks ago and last week had the game moved to Sunday and lost in front of a sparse crowd and now play on a short week. EM has impressed each week. WM has the offensive edge and EMichigan has the edge on D. WM has my #15 rated special teams and Eastern is #105. WM is allowing 4.0 ypc rush and EM is 4.2. WM’s top 3 RB's have combined for 1,397 yards rush and 5.4 ypc and EM’s top 3 just 538 (3.8) with WM QB Jon Wassink having a 13-4 ratio and EM’s Brogan Roback just 9-7. WM is the stronger team and grabs the road win.

Phil's Forecast:

Mich St had a 7 game series win streak snapped last year in Bloomington. Down 7 Mich St forced OT with a a 75/13pl drive w/:11. In OT MSU missed a 49 yd FG & 6pl later IU hit a GW 20 yd’er. Michigan rates the edge on offense, defense and home edge and Indy on special teams. Mich St has faced the #15 schedule. Indy allows just 4.1 ypc rush and 54% completions, but Mich St is stronger at 2.9 ypc and 48%. Indy gains 69 ypg above what their opponents normally allow and Mich St just 24. The Spartans are 3-0 in Big Ten play, but their wins have been by 7, 4, and 3 and they are only +32 ypg. Indy has taken on 3 of the leagues top teams in Ohio St, Penn St and Michigan and versus the latter two were only outgained by 18 and 51 yards. I will call for the Hoosiers to keep this closer than expected.

Phil's Forecast:

1st mtg. UC is 0-12 at home vs FBS programs, losing by an avg of 18 ppg. The Blazers were 3-1 in CUSA road gms in ‘14, but just 11-25 s/’06. They came up 3 points short at North Texas this year and the Eagles are undefeated in CUSA. Bill Clark is doing a phenomenal job at UAB as some opined they should spend a year or two at FCS before coming back after their 2 year layoff. Instead UAB is 4-2 with 3 outright upsets and +34 ypg. RB Spencer Brown has 625 (5.5) on the ground. Charlotte is 0-7 and -143 ypg as they gained 80 yards less than their opp’s usually allow and allowed 100 yards more than their foes usually gain. Their QB’s are hitting 47% with a 5-11 ratio while AJ Erdely for UAB is hitting 55% with a 7-2 ratio.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line

Temple had dominated this series winning 6 in a row, but last year in the opener the Black Knights stunned the Owls. It was a back-and-forth gm in the 1H, Army trailed 10-7, but in the 2H Army all’d just 85 yds limiting TU to 4 poss. Army put the gm away w/2 4Q TD drives winning 28-13 as 2 TD dogs. Temple is on their 3rd road game in 5 weeks and off a misleading loss at home to Connecticut despite a 473-264 yard edge. Army led EMich LW 28-21, but gave up a TD with :49 left and had to stop a 2 point conversion to win 28-27. Temple was struggling on offense early, but has 498 ypg the last 2 games, but that was actually -96 ypg below what they allowed.

Phil's Forecast:

BYU By 7.3BYU CoachesEast Carolina K

Both teams have faced tough schedules with EC at #31 and BYU at #32. BYU is traveling for the 3rd time in 4 wks & is off a trip to Miss St and now traveling to the East coast, but is in dire need of a win. This is the moveable object vs the resistible force. East Carolina’s defense is allowing 50 ppg and 600 ypg and opp’s gained 149 ypg more than their season average. BYU’s offense is averaging just 242 ypg 11 ppg and gains 118 ypg below what their opponents allow. EC gives up 5.9 ypc and 69% completions. On the flip side EC is gaining 8 ypg above what their opp’s allow and BYU’s D gives up 393 ypg. Tough to back either side here so I will let my computer decide this one.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line1st meeting. For Rutgers, this is the lone true HG in a 7 week stretch and Purdue just faced a physical Wisconsin team and travels for a 2nd straight week. Rutgers has played everyone but Ohio St tough and they have beaten the Las Vegas number 4 times. Purdue is 5-1 versus the Vegas number, but is off two straight misleading finals. They only led Minnesota by 1 with 1:30 left, but with a late 84 yd IR TD won by 14. Last week they were dominated by Wisconsin, but only lost by 8 on the scoreboard with 3 TO’s and a blocked punt. The biggest factor in Purdue’s favor is that they have faced the #4 schedule and are +28 ypg above their opp’s avg and the D has held foes to 49 ypg below their season average. Rutgers is -67 ypg below what their opp’s normally allow and the defense allows 8 ypg more than opp’s normally gain.

Phil's Forecast:

Panthers are 6-1 vs Duke and Pitt is 7-4 in ACC road games. Duke came into LY off a huge upset over NC & needed a win to keep its bowl hopes alive. After a 36 yd IR TD Duke only trailed 21-14 w/5:34 2Q. Pitt scored the L/35 incl a 65 yd PR td and 56 & 48 yd TD passes, 56-14. Pitt lost QB Max Browne for the season and Ben Dinucci who took his job earlier in the year is back as starter. Last week Pitt gave up a late TD to NCST when the Wolfpack were trying to run out the clock and lost by 18. Duke is holding foes to 71 ypg below their season average. Daniel Jones is hitting just 48% the last 3 games. Pitt has taken on the tougher schedule (#9 vs #43). Duke is a solid dog, but just 1-6 as a home favorite losing 5 of those outright. This is a must win for Pitt.

Phil's Forecast:

Last met in 2003. Miami just faced the option and cut blocking and is down 4-6 starters. While they lost Mark Walton at RB, Travis Homer (PS#24) stepped in with 170 yards and is averaging 8.5 ypc on the season. Miami keeps gaining more of a home field edge with increasing crowds and is 12-5-1 as a home favorite. Miami has faced the tougher schedule (#50 vs #72). Syracuse is off their huge upset of Clemson. The Tigers had a hobbled QB Kelly Bryant in the 1H and backup QB’s in the 2nd half, but the Syracuse offense had 440 yards versus that vaunted CU defense which is 176 ypg more than the Tigers normally allow and SU is now +89 in that category and their defense holds foes to 24 ypg below. Syracuse did only lose to LSU by 9 and NCST by 8 on the road this year.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line21-32-269 Ball St had won 5 str by 10 ppg, but has dropped B2B mtgs. LY BSU down 3

w/1:43 left had a FD at the CM29, but threw an int in the EZ w/1:37. BSU is 1-7 L2Y in MAC HG’s (win vs UMass in ‘15, now IND status) and the visitor is 7-3 in the series. CM is on their 5th road game in 7 weeks and Ball St is fresh off a bye. Ball St with QB Riley Neal (68% 6-3) was 2-1 with a close loss to Illinois. HE got injured and Jack Milas (52% 0-6 ratio) has taken over and they have lost by 31 ppg on a 3 game road trip. Central is 9-3 vs the Vegas number as an away favorite and led by Michigan transfer Shane Morris (55% 12-11). CM has taken on the tougher schedule (#97 vs #121) and already has beaten Kansas by 18 and Ohio U on the road this year.

Wake Forest ST's Team & Margin

Game GradeGeorgia Tech Coaches

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas LineTeams last met in 2010. WF had 5 starters back on defense and does well vs the option as they held Army to 335 ypg the last 4 years and held Tulane to 280 yards last year. WF has the added advantage of a bye to prep for the option. GT is in a Miami/Clemson sandwich. WF had a 97 yard edge on Florida St and have a solid defensive front 7 to take on the option. GT was outgained last week by 200 yards in a game where they were off a bye and Miami was beat up and off a big last second win vs Florida St. Solid situation for Wake here as they are fresh, match up well vs the option, have extra prep time and catch GT off a tough last second loss where they were -200 yards and Wake is getting a full TD.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas LineThe Chanticleers are 0-3 vs the Mountaineers incl a 55-14 loss the LTH (‘12) with App St piling up a 684-190 yard edge. CC is on their 4th road game in 6 weeks. Since their upset of UMass in the opener (-40 yards) they are 0-5 (0-4-1 vs the Vegas number), but outgained 3 of their 4 FBS foes in that span. Last week they lost to Ark St by 34, but were only -47 yards. App St is 4-2, but just 2-4 ATS and one of those wins was a lucky one vs NMexico St as they trailed by 7 in the 4Q, -13.5, but won by 14. CC top QB Tyler Keane was injured last week and is questionable. Remember App St trailed Idaho by 20 last week and got outgained by Texas St by 102 yds with TXSt at their 1 yard line at the end.

3.83Las Vegas Line

Penn St By 9.5

Phil's Forecast:

Penn St is fresh off a bye while Michigan is on a 2nd straight road game. LY Penn St had a depleted LB corps, but were dominated on both sides of the ball 49-10. Penn St had won 4 in a row in the series, but Michigan has won the last 3 by increasing numbers 5, 12, & 39. Michigan is off two big efforts going to the wire vs rival Mich St and losing, then needing OT to beat Indiana on the road and travels again. Penn St is fresh off a bye and playing with revenge. Penn St’s defense is holding foes to 107 ypg below their season average which is #13, but Michigan’s D is #1 holding foes to 183 below and have held all 6 foes to season lows (Penn St's current low is 312 yds). Penn State rates the edge on offense with Saquon Barkley and they average 4.8 ypc and 66% completions and Michigan is 4.4 and just 55%. Penn St has the ST’s edge (#5 vs #22). My computer numbers say Penn St by 10, but Michigan has faced the tougher schedule (#2 vs #57) and Michigan has lost 4 games the last two years with none by more than 4 points. The under looks like the best play.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas LineThese two met for the first time here in 2014 and Wisconsin won 52-7 and then in '15 the Badgers only won 31-24 on the road (DNP ‘16). Maryland is on their 3rd road game in 4 weeks. Maryland’s rush defense is wearing down and in 3 of their last 4 games they have allowed 238+ yards on the ground. Wisconsin has Jonathan Taylor (986, 7.8) and as I called for in the magazine is finally putting up Wisconsin type of rush yards (264, 5.5). Maryland is down to #3 QB Max Bortenschlager who is not the perfect fit for the offense and is only hitting 51%. Their top offensive weapon Ty Johnson has just 77 yards rush on 22 carries the last 2 weeks. Last week Wisconsin had a 414-111 yard edge vs Purdue at one point, but only won by 8 due to TO’s and a blocked punt. Wisconsin,s defense is holding foes to 123 ypg below their average. Bortenschlager and the Terps have faced 3 quality teams in UCF, Northwestern and Ohio State and been outscored by 27 ppg and outgained by 313 ypg and this will be more of the same as the Badgers are much better than 2 of those teams and will be on guard after last weeks upset.

Projected Box ScorePhil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line Justin Fuente is 7-2 off a bye and they catch NCar playing an eighth straight week. LY both came in ranked. The gm was ply’d in a downpour (Hurricane Matthew). The Hokies forced 4 TO’s that resulted in 20 pts, in fact VT went just 127/28pl on their 6 scoring drives! While VT is fresh and ranked, North Carolina has 17 players that are out for the year and went to LSU transfer Brandon Harris at QB last week and he looked like the LSU version hitting just 7-18-46-0-3 passing and Virginia had a 148 yard edge. In 4 ACC games NC is being outgained by 168 yards. NC has played the much tougher schedule (#12 vs #87), but VT has the stronger offense, defense and ST’s. VT’s D is holding foes to 77 ypg below their season average and just 46% completions while NC is allowing 51 ypg above and 229 ypg rush. In the last 3 games NC has is averaging just 10 ppg and gaining 87 ypg below what their opponents allow and now face the toughest D they have faced this year.

They are making a 2nd straight road trip and just upset Louisville last week with AJ Dillon rushing for 272 yards (7.0) and they are 9-2-1 versus the Vegas number as an away underdog. They were tied with Clemson in Death Valley 7-7 this year. A surprising stat is that they are allowing 446 ypg on defense with 242 (5.4) on the ground. All 7 of BC’s foes will likely be in bowls and 4 were ranked. 3 of Virginia’s foes may get to a bowl and none have been ranked. While Virginia is 5-1 their wins are vs foes that have a combined 11 wins.

Boise St Leaders

LY BSU suffered its 1st series loss with Boise having won the previous 10 games by 26.2 ppg. BSU led 21-7 2Q & after a 33 yd TD pass w/10:50 left led 28-20. WY tied it after a 27 yd TD pass/2pt w/6:42. On 2nd&10 at BSU10 WY got a sk for a GW SAF (ran out L/1:25). I expected Brett Rypien to have a big year for Boise, but the last two games he has thrown for under 100 ypg and on the season is just 60% with a 2-3 ratio as he battles thru injuries. Boise got off to a slow start this year at 2-2 with an upset loss to Virginia on the blue turf by 19. They have bounced back beating BYU and SDST on the road by 17 points each, although their offense only had 300 and 311 yards. Boise has faced my #52 schedule and Wyoming is #123. Josh Allen is a potential #1 DC, but has not played like it so far, hitting 58% with a 7-4 ratio as he lost most of his skill players from last year. Wyoming is #128 in the nation averaging 167 ypg below what their opponents usually allow and are at just 262 ypg vs FBS foes this year. Boise’s D is holding foes to 71 ypg below their season average. Last week Wyoming trailed Utah St 23-16, but rallied for the win and were out FD’d 23-14. My computer has Boise with a dominating win and they are actually priced reasonably for a home game and they have dropped 9 in a row as a home favorite and Vegas begins to compensate.

TCU

TCU is 5-0 in the series, but have been fortunate to win the last 3 by a combined 11 points. Last year TCU trailed 23-14 4Q, but took the lead with 1:21 left and KU’s last 3 drives all ended on missed FG’s. TCU is holding foes to 108 ypg below their season average and this is homecoming. Last week after the 1Q Kansas only had a 31-26 yard deficit, but trailed 14-0. Their offense was feeble in the driving rain with just 5 FD’s for the game and despite holding Iowa St to 318 total yards they lost 45-0. TCU is playing with unbeaten pressure, but the computer (which liked Iowa St last week) has TCU by 48. TCU has been favored by a total of 102.5 points the last 3 in this series, but only won by a total of 11.

Rice won their first 3 meetings, but UTSA has won the last 2. UTSA won here 34-24 in ‘15 then LY, UTSA tossed a 75 yd gm deciding TD pass w/5:01 left 1Q. Rice cut it to 1 w/7:49 3Q. The next 4 poss were punts, Rice then was SOD at the UTSA 5 and 9pl later also missed a 42 yd FG w/1:27 left. UTSA comes in 3-2 losing their last two games on scores with :48 and :10 left. UTSA is allowing just 48% completions and Rice 69% but has taken on tougher QB’s. David Bailiff is 11-2-1 ATS off a bye so that has me thinking this will be closer than the computer forecasts and Rice has taken on the much tougher schedule (#51 vs #125).

POSITIONAL EDGE AWARDED TO:

Ga Southern

The Minutemen defeated Georgia Southern in the 1998 1-AA Championship 55-43 (now FCS), but then lost in the playoffs the next season to the Eagles 38-21 (both w/Mark Whipple as the HC). First time the Eagles will visit Amherst. UMass may be 0-6, but they have 5 losses by 8 points or less (the other by 10) and they are actually +3 ypg! Due to an unscheduled bye UMass had 2 bye weeks to prep for the option. GS has faced the tougher schedule (#67 vs #106), but is -125 ypg. Last week they were outgained by 240 yards, but only lost by 8 to a NMexSt team on their 3rd straight road game. Though both teams are winless, UMass should win by double digits.

Navy Pts

1st meeting. Last year UCF’s excellent set of LB’s shut down Tulane winning 37-6, but they were outgained 297-348. UCF has destroyed everyone winning their games by an average of 51-17 and covering by 20 ppg. They beat Memphis 40-13 (+207 yds) and Navy just lost to Memphis 30-27 (-63 yds). Navy has played the tougher schedule (#30 vs #45), has covered 4 in a row as a home dog and it is tough to go against them here. Navy struggled with Tulane, Cincy, Tulsa, Air Force and Memphis and now a takes on their toughest foe year to date. I am not jumping in front of this UCF express.

POSITIONAL EDGE AWARDED TO:

Last met in 1963. Idaho has lost 32 in a row on the road vs Power 5 teams, but is on a 17-4 run vs the Vegas number the last 5 years when on the road. Drew Lock throws for 426 ypg with a 19-1 ratio vs non-Power 5 teams. Missouri limps in on a 5 game losing streak and only has UConn on deck so will be fully focused for this. In the last 3 games Missouri has averaged 112 ypg above their opponent averages. Missouri’s defense is allowing 130 ypg above what opp’s usually average and Idaho is holding foes to 34 below, but Missouri has faced my #28 schedule (5 power 5 including two top 10 teams) while Idaho has not even faced a power 5 team.

Phil's Forecast:

0.43

The home team has won the last 4 meetings, but LY UK broke a 7 game series losing streak (prev meeting ‘11) winning 40-38 on a 51 yd GW FG as time expired. Kentucky is off a bye, while Miss St had one 2 weeks ago. The raw numbers on the season would seem to favor Miss St as they are +158 ypg vs my #34 schedule and Kentucky is -36 ypg vs my #75 rated schedule. A look at my computers projected yards has Miss St with a 504-272 yard edge. I expect UK to be able to run the ball and they are in a better situation right now. Kentucky when favored plays down to their opponent and does just enough to win. They have covered their last 6 as a regular season dog.

Team Schedule Strength100 USF Tulane 74 USF by 18 USF 38 Tulane 20

First meeting. Last year USF struggled against Navy’s option attack allowing 616 yards and 45 points. USF started slowly this year trailing San Jose St 16-0 and then at half trailing Stony Brook 10-7. They have rebounded with big wins and are 6-0 with an average win by 43-17 and +202 ypg but have just faced my #100 schedule. As impressive as Tulane was beating Tulsa at home two weeks ago 62-28, they were that unimpressive last week losing at FIU 23-10 (-199 yds) as a big favorite. USF did have a bye two weeks ago to sneak in some prep for the option. USF rates the edge on offense, defense and special teams and keeps their undefeated season going strong.

Phil's Forecast:

Comp-Att-Yds Las Vegas Line

UNLV is 3-12 s/’88 incl 3 str losses. In the L/mtg (‘14) UNLV lost 34-20. USU is 6-1 in LV incl a 28-24 win LTH (‘13). Last week Utah St led Wyoming by 7, but lost at home despite a 23-14 FD edge. UNLV led Air Force 27-0, but lost outright and fumbled into the EZ for a touchback on one drive. These two have one mutual opponent and Utah St outgained San Jose by 427 yards on the road and UNLV was +28 yds at home. I feel the Aggies are the stronger team and agree with my computer in calling for the upset.

LA Tech QB/WR

LY LT had the CUSA Title gm on deck. After a 30 yd FR TD LT took its only lead of the gm, 14-10 early 2Q. SM went on to score 29 of the next 32 pts (LT gbg td w/:57 left), 39-24. LTH (de facto CUSA West Title), SM never trailed & held LT to -2 rush yds (162 yds below ssn avg, worst s/’99). SM took advantage of 7 LT TO’s, resulting in 31 pts incl a 26 yd IR TD, made it 51-17 w/13:56 left. LT is playing with some serious revenge and is off a bye and a loss with SMiss on their 2nd road trip in 3 weeks. LT is only +14 ypg vs my #106 schedule and SM is +132 ypg vs my #116 schedule. Keon Howard has taken over the QB spot for SMiss and Ito Smith is having a fine year with 733 (6.2). LT top RB Jarred Craft had 359 (4.5) and J'mar Smith is hitting 58% with a 9-3 ratio. LT is 16-3 at home the last 4 years and Jay Hopson is 4-4 on the road with this being a win situation.

Las Vegas Line

These two have not met since 2014, but Oregon has won 6 in a row in the series winning by 21 ppg. Oregon was cruising along, but lost QB Justin Herbert and has lost the last two by a combined 82-17. UCLA’s rush defense has been shockingly bad as they are allowing 313 ypg rush and 6.6 ypc! UCLA has taken on my #20 schedule and is +3 ypg, but -10 in TO’s with Josh Rosen having a 17-17 ratio. Oregon’s D is holding foes to 31 ypg below their season average and UCLA’s D is allowing 74 above. Tough to back either squad here and with my computer perhaps not quite adjusted to Oregon without Herbert, I will call it right where Vegas has it.

Phil's Forecast:

These two last met in 2014 and while Arizona has won the last 3, they have been by a total of 10 points. Both teams are off big wins. Since Arizona QB Brandon Dawkins was injured, Khalil Tate has ignited their offense with 557 rush yards in two weeks. Arizona is 4-2 and the losses have been by 3 to Houston and by 6 to Utah in a game they were +107 yards. Cal just upset Wash St at home and did not do it with mirrors as they rolled 37-3. While Arizona is +104 ypg vs my #90 schedule, Cal has faced the much tougher schedule (#8) and is -74 ypg. My computer rates this a toss up and I will say I feel Arizona looks like the stronger team so I will call for them to grab the road win.

Minnesota Leaders

Phil's Forecast:

Minnesota has won the last 2 in the series by 9 & 23 pts, but the Golden Gophers only outg’d the Illini by 38 yds (-2 FD), but took advantage of 3 TO’s that resulted in 17 pts. UM only led 21-14 into the 4Q, but won 40-17. I had projected Demery Croft as the starting QB at Minnesota and he had 3 TD passes after taking over in the 2H last week. The Gophers offense is at their best when they can run the ball and Illinois is allowing 210 ypg rush and 5.1 ypc in Big Ten play despite not playing any of the ranked teams. Jeff George Jr is hitting 51% with a 3-7 ratio and the Illini’s top rusher Mike Epstein was OFY vs Iowa. They have faced equal schedules, but Minny is +25 ypg and Illinois is -103.

Team & Margin

Las Vegas LineFor the 2nd year in a row they are actually playing this on the third Saturday of October and Bama has now won 10 in a row in the series by 23 ppg. Last year a banged-up Tennessee was playing its 4th straight ranked opponent in 4 weeks, but steamrolled 49-10. LTH UT was off a bye (Alabama was ply’g an 8th str gm). UT led 14-13 w/5:49 4Q, but all’d a 71/8pl TD drive w/2:24 (UT fmbl’d their L/poss at UT11) only losing 19-14. The Vols went with Jarrett Guarantano as starting QB last week and they had 253 total yards and have not scored a TD in 10 Q’s. Alabama has allowed ONE non-garbage time TD in SEC play this year. Tennessee has performed below Vegas’s expectations in every game this season (0-6). Bama is at its best when it can run and Tennessee’s defensive front has been pushed around to the tune of 243 ypg rush and 5.1 ypc. Alabama had just 4 sacks the first 4 games, but 14 the last 3 and will be teeing off on a freshman QB. Saban has not appeared happy allowing late scores the last couple of games and this one should be a shutout. Bama has faced my #24 rated schedule and Tennessee just #47. A few weeks back I really liked Texas A&M +29 over Bama as a home dog, but I can't back this dog.

Phil Steele

Computer PointsPOSITIONAL EDGE AWARDED TO:

Texas is 18-1 off the Red River Rivalry and this is their lone HG in a 4 week stretch. OSU is 5-2 vs the Horns. LY OSU jumpded out to a 14-0 lead, but UT held a 25-23 advantage w/6:31 2Q (last lead of gm). They had 4 botched xp’s, including 2 ret’d for 2 for OSU. UT all’d 26 of the L/32 pts. Last week Texas fell behind Oklahoma 20-0, but with dynamic Sam Ehlinger they came back to lead 24-23 before a 59 yard TD pass with 6:53 in the 5 point loss as almost a 10 point neutral site dog. Now they are at home getting over a TD. Texas has taken on my 9th toughest schedule and their defense is holding foes to 90 yards below their season average. Tom Herman is a perfect 7-0 versus the Vegas number when an underdog with five outright upsets. OSU has allowed over 219+ rushing 3 times this year and lost to TCU at home only beating Texas Tech by 7 on the road.

Projected Yardage TotalWest Virginia Baylor

490 yards West Virginia W Virginia By 11.2

Last year BU was limping to end of the year and were +17’ on the road, but led in the 2H of a 24-21 road loss. Baylor put Zach Smith in at QB and only lost to Oklahoma by 8 at home and KST by 13 on the road. They lost by 43 last week, but have covered 5 in a row as a home underdog. A few weeks back WV only led Kansas by 8 on the road and last week they trailed Texas Tech 35-17. This should be another high scoring game.

Phil's Forecast:

Ark’s 53 pt loss to Aub LY was the worst in series history (25 mtgs) and their 543 rush yds all’d set the SEC conf gm reg ssn record. The home team is 6-2 in the series and just two years ago Arkansas won in 4 OT’s at home 54-46. Auburn disappointed me last week blowing a 20-0 lead over LSU and losing on a late FG. Arkansas has faced the tougher schedule (#31 vs #54) and despite their 2-4 record they are holding foes to 21 yards below their season average and gaining 9 more than their foes usually allow. The Hogs are playing to an average game grade of 86.9 and Auburn at 99.7, which means Auburn by only 8.6, but Austin Allen is still out for Arkansas at QB. Arkansas has allowed sacks on 10% of their pass attempts and Auburn has an excellent defensive line.

Phil's Forecast:

Florida St is playing with legitimate revenge after getting destroyed on the road in an embarrassing performance 63-20 and it could have been worse. LTH Florida St rolled to a 41-21 win. While Florida St is averaging just 18 ppg they are improving weekly and have topped 400 yards vs both Miami and Duke, which both are rated in my top 20 defenses and Louisville is just No. 68. I look for the offense to get rolling in this one. In 4 ACC games the Cards defense is allowing 522 ypg, which is 134 ypg above their opp’s averages. Florida St has faced my #1 toughest schedule and Louisville #57. People are wondering how does Floirda St stay motivated this year as they have 3 losses, all Jimbo has to say to the team is 63-20 and mention that Petrino said it could have been much worse.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line

The home team is 3-0 and last year ULM was a 2 TD dog at home and won in OT so the Jaguars are playing with revenge. LTH in ‘13 USA won 36-14. ULM had been impressive this year until last week's upset loss to Georgia St. South Alabama was outgained 299-224 by Troy, but got the road upset. South Alabama is 2-4 and this is a must win to keep bowl hopes alive. The Jaguars biggest edge is on defense where they are holding foes to 3 yards below their season average and ULM is allowing foes 111 ypg above their season average. USA has faced the tougher schedule (#83 vs #117) and get the home win here.

Phil's Forecast:

Notre Dame By 10.5USC CoachesNotre Dame K

The home team has now won four in a row in this series. Last year USC won by 18 at home, but did benefit from Adoree' Jackson PR, KR, REC TD’s!! USC only had a 412-408 yard edge. USC comes in 6-1, but other than Stanford has played below expectations as they are just 1-6 versus the Vegas number with Western Michigan (led by 4 4:00 left), Texas (OT), and Utah (Utes stopped on 2 pt conv end) all taking them to the wire. They have a banged-up football team with 21 players on the injury list including 10 who are out for the year. Notre Dame is fresh off a bye with Brian Kelly 8-1 off a bye and the Irish average 308 ypg rush with an amazing 6.9 ypc and one of the best offensive lines in the country. While USC is playing to an average game grade of 99.7, the Irish are at 104.1 and rate a 5 point home edge here due to the situation.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line

Bob Stoops was an assistant under Bill Snyder and his Sooners made 6 trips to Manhattan and won all 6 by 24.8 ppg. Stoops is gone now and it will be interesting if they can maintain that same dominance (won 55-0 in ‘15 here). Oklahoma has my #2 rated offense with season highs vs 5 of their 6 foes and they average 208 ypg above what their opp’s normally allow. Despite allowing 466 ypg the last 3 games they are holding foes to 44 yards below their season average. Kansas St was without QB Jesse Ertz last week and managed just 216 yards vs TCU. Ertz is doubtful here, but Kansas St is 7-2 as a home dog even with last week's loss.

It’s the Magnolia Bowl! Five of the L/8 have been decided by 7 pts or less and the home team has now won 5 in a row. LSU just got emotional upset wins over Florida and Auburn and now travel, while Ole Miss is off putting up 57 points and 603 yards vsVandy and home again. Ed Orgeron has extra motivation after being fired from Ole Miss after 2007. Ole Miss may be 3-3, but they have losses at Alabama and Auburn and an unusual road trip to California where they blew a late lead. The schedules are even, but LSU is +77 ypg and UM +13. The underdog has won 5 in a row in LSU games. LSU is playing to an average game grade of 92.1 but Ole Miss is at 86.5 and with the 4 point home edge LSU that rating only has LSU winning by 1.6. I like the home dog here.

Phil's Forecast:

Texas Tech had won 4 in a row in the series, but last year it was stunning as Iowa St was a slight home underdog yet won 66-10 handing TT their worst loss since 2011 (45-3 at half). Iowa St had a 608-306 yard edge. LTH TT won 66-31 racking up a then school record 776 yards. TT is in revenge mode and actually led West Virginia 35-17 in the 3Q. While Iowa St beat Kansas 45-0 last week they had just 318 total yards behind backup QB Kyle Kempf. They have faced similar schedules, but TT is +113 ypg and Iowa St is +44. TT’s D is actually holding foes to 25 ypg below their season average this year! Tech gets revenge in Lubbock.

Utah QB/WRPhil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line21-37-296 Arizona St had won 11 in a row in the series, but Utah has won the last 2. Last year

Utah trailed 13-0 into the 2Q but led 21-20 at HT. Utah never trailed in the 2H (outscored ASU 21-0 4Q), 49-26. As I have mentioned many times last years Arizona St team was a banged-up squad sometimes down half their starters with 20+ players on the injury report weekly. This week they have two players on the injury list and QB Manny Wilkins is hitting 67% with a 8-2 ratio. Arizona St has taken on the 5th toughest schedule in the country already facing Stanford and Washington, plus Oregon with Justin Herbert at QB and San Diego St and Texas Tech in the non-conference. Arizona St held a Washington team averaging 43 ppg to just 7 points last week.

Phil's Forecast:

Comp-Att-Yds Las Vegas Line

Last year both came in ranked (WSU had the Apple Cup on deck). WSU couldn’t stop CU QB Sefo Liufau who accounted for 453 ttl yds. WSU did lead 24-21 w/3:18 3Q, but all’d the gms final 17 pts (WSU just 46 4Q yds). Wash St has faced the tougher schedule (#59 vs #82). Colorado had a closer than expected game vs Oregon St, but the Beavers had the first game for interim head bounce in their favor. The Buffs do have QB Steven Montez (63% 12-6) and RB Phillip Lindsay (995, 5.6). The Cougars D has held foes to 97 ypg below their season average and Colorado is allowing 13 above. The Buffs have covered 5 in a row as a Pac 12 away dog.

Phil's Forecast:

Las Vegas Line

HT is 8-3 since their WAC days in ‘95. LY the Aztecs handcuffed the Bulldogs offensively, but only led 10-3 w/9:54 3Q. SDSt got a 13 yd TD run w/:09 3Q & held FSU to B2B punts w/a int at SDSt21 its L/3 poss and the Aztecs only won 17-3. Last week the Aztecs found themselves in a 14-0 hole despite allowing 0 FD’s as Boise had a PR and FR TD. They were thinking unbeaten season, so they may have a bubble burst hangover this week Fresno has performed above expectations each and every week with their only losses to Alabama and Washington. The schedules are close, but Fresno is actually +95 ypg and San Diego St is +76 ypg.
