Week 10 of the 2010 college football campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 10 NCAA football lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 10 college football lines. Be sure to check out the free NCAA football picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend!

Top 25 battles are all over the NCAA football betting slate this weekend, and these are games that you certainly don’t want to miss out on!

We’ll start in the Big XII South, where the Baylor Bears and Oklahoma State Cowboys are sure to put on a real offensive showcase in Stillwater. Baylor finds itself firmly entrenched in the Top 25 and is just a few wins away from surprisingly winning the Big XII South! This is a long, uphill road to climb though, as wins against the Pokes this week and the Oklahoma Sooners down the road are going to be tremendously difficult tasks. The oddsmakers didn’t believe in Baylor last week at the Texas Longhorns, making them 7.5 point underdogs at the outset of the week, and that’s the exact same line it is facing this weekend against the Cowboys.

The Pac-10 will have a de facto Rose Bowl elimination game on Saturday night, as the Arizona Wildcats travel to the Stanford Cardinal. These teams both have to feel that they at least have an outside chance of winning the BCS Championship as well, as they are ranked No. 12 and No. 13 in the nation, and the winner will be in the Top 10 in the land for sure when the week is said and done. QB Nick Foles sat out his second straight game last week in a 29-21 win over the UCLA Bruins, but the oddsmakers have already made a firm stance against the Cats in this one seemingly regardless of who is calling the shots. Stanford is a comfortable 9.5 point home favorite.

The SEC actually has a pair of Top 25 tussles this weekend. The South Carolina Gamecocks know that this isn’t an absolute must win game, especially knowing that their duel with the Florida Gators is on tap next week in the Swamp, but beating the Arkansas Razorbacks would go a long way in helping keep this team in the Top 25 and working towards a great bowl game this year if the BCS slot is not procured. The Hogs are going to be hurting on offense with the loss of WR Greg Childs to a season ending injury, but the NCAA football lines still suggest that they have a great shot in this one. Arkansas is only a 3.5 point underdog in Columbia.

The main course for the evening in the SEC though, will be down in the Bayou, where the Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers will meet in a game that will eliminate one from the SEC West and National Championship race once and for all in all likelihood. Alabama knows that it controls its own destiny for a chance in the BCS title game, as it will certainly have the computer resume to move into the Top 2, especially after wins like this one, but the Bayou Bengals might surprisingly be in the same sort of spot. When the lights go out in Baton Rouge, things get very scary for the visitors. Halloween might have been last weekend, but you can bet, especially off of a bye week, that HC Les Miles is getting all of his tricks prepared to treat the hometown crowd to a potential upset of the defending National Champions. This game might be at night, but the hosts are still 6.5 point underdogs.

The one duel that we have yet to mention is the big time mid major clash between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Utah Utes. This is actually the first time this year that two teams from the BCS have met, and it marks the first time that two mid-majors both ranked in the Top 5 will meet in the regular season since the BCS was formed. Utah has this game at home, but certainly doesn’t have history on its side. TCU knows that a win is the only route to the BCS Championship, but even that isn’t a guarantee, especially with a number of one loss teams trying to catch up from behind. The Utes are in this race as well, and they’ll want to make their huge statement to try to move up into the coveted Top 2 spots in the country. Either way, both of these teams have their eyes set on a big time bowl to try to boost their respective programs, but in all likelihood, only one will end up making it to a BCS bowl game. The loser is going to be very, very disappointed when this one is over on Saturday.

There are only four teams that are favored by at least 20 points this weekend, but none are anywhere near the -34.5 the Oregon Ducks are against the Washington Huskies. The Huskies are in a ton of trouble without QB Jake Locker in the lineup, especially going into Eugene, where teams just seemingly go to get destroyed nowadays. The U of O is inevitably out to make another huge statement, especially after taking over the top spot in the BCS rankings this week.

Week 10 college football betting is here! Bankroll Sports is back with more NCAA football picks for Week 10 of the year, but before we do that, we need to take a look at the important trends and history that the teams that are facing against each other in games involving Top 25 teams this week.

Saturday, November 6th: Washington Huskies @ #1 Oregon Ducks
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Huskies are 3-10 ATS in their L/13 road games
Washington is 2-6 ATS in its L/8 played in the month of November
Oregon is 20-6 ATS in its L/26 against teams with a losing record

Series History
And we can only imagine just how good that record is against teams with a losing record playing their first game without their starting quarterback! The Huskies are up against in this year once again, and they have had absolutely no luck stopping the Ducks when they are at 100%. The Quack Attack are 6-0 SU and ATS in this series dating back to 2004, winning all six games by at least 20 points. This year should be no exception, as the U of O has a National Championship to go play for and is the biggest favorite on the board by a country mile in Week 10.

Saturday, November 6th: Hawaii Warriors @ #3 Boise State Broncos
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Warriors are tied for the longest winning streak ATS in the country at six games
Hawaii is the only team in the country to have eight covers this season
The Broncos are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 overall

Series History
The Warriors have taken their licks on the Smurf Turf, losing 69-3 in 2004, but they also have some awfully competitive moments there as well. They nearly pulled off a shocking upset in 2006, losing 41-34 as two TD underdogs, and competed again in 2008 here, losing just 27-7. However, last season, BSU romped 54-9 and never really looked like it was getting touched even though it was out on the Big Island. The Broncos are 5-5 ATS all-time in this series, but they just snapped Hawaii’s four game cover streak in spite of the fact that there has only been one SU win for the Warriors since the 2000s started.

Saturday, November 6th: #4 TCU Horned Frogs @ #6 Utah Utes
NCAA Football Trends of Note
TCU is 23-9-1 ATS in its L/33 conference games
The Utes are 9-1-1 ATS in their L/11 overall
Utah is 5-0-1 ATS in its L/6 at home

Series History
Needless to say, this is about as big as it gets by mid-major standards. Both of these teams are in the Top 5 in the nation, and the winner thinks that it will be able to stake a claim to the BCS Championship Game should it win out. The Horned Frogs absolutely rolled last year to a 55-28 win over the Utes, but this was a series that historically belonged to Utah. The L/3 meetings prior to last year resulted in three wins both SU and ATS for the Utes.

Saturday, November 6th: #5 Alabama Crimson Tide @ #11 LSU Tigers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Alabama is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 played on grass
The Tide are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 played in November
LSU is just 7-18-1 ATS in its L/26 home games

Series History
That last fact doesn’t make the Bayou any less scary of a place for a team to be that is coming in as a highly touted favorite to win the National Championship. The road team is 11-2-1 ATS in the L/14 meetings of these rivals though, and the favorite is 6-1-1 ATS in the L/8 overall. Needless to say, these are both great signs for the Tide. Alabama has won the L/2 meetings as short favorites, winning 24-15 last year in Tuscaloosa and 27-21 in overtime two years ago here in the Bayou. The L/4 have all gone past ‘totals’ in the 30s and 40s, but only one of the four, a 41-34 win for LSU in Tuscaloosa, came by a substantial margin.

Saturday, November 6th: #7 Wisconsin Badgers @ Purdue Boilermakers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Badgers are just 2-10 ATS in their L/12 road games as double digit favorites
Wisky is just 1-5 ATS in its L/6 games as a favorite
The Boilermakers are 7-2-1 ATS in its L/10 as double digit underdogs

Series History
The Boilermakers haven’t done a heck of a lot of scoring of late in this series, getting blanked 37-0 last year in Camp Randall and being blitzed 24-3 the last time these teams met in Lafayette. With QB Robert Marve out of the lineup, there’s a good chance that there won’t be a lot of points this year from the Boilers either. Wisky has covered four straight and has gone 6-1-1 ATS in the L/6 dating back to 1998 in this series. The Boilermakers haven’t won a game at home since 1997. The L/4 have all stayed ‘under’ the total.

Saturday, November 6th: #9 Oklahoma Sooners @ Texas A&M Aggies
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Sooners are 4-1 ATS in their L/5 played in the Big XII
Oklahoma is a winless 0-6-1 ATS in its L/7 after an SU win of at least 20 points
The Aggies are just 6-13 ATS in their L/19 following an SU victory

Series History
Playing in front of the 12th Man is never something that is fun, but at least in the 2000s, it really hasn’t fazed Oklahoma one bit. The Aggies only have one win in this series since 2000, a 30-26 win in 2002 as ten point dogs. They haven’t been favored in this series during this stretch. The Sooners have dropped some big time numbers on the board in their day in this rivalry, winning 65-10 in 2009, 66-28 in 2008, and by a whopping margin of 77-0 in 2003.

Saturday, November 6th: #13 Arizona Wildcats @ #12 Stanford Cardinal
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The U of A is 8-3-1 ATS in its L/12 as dogs of more than a field goal but less than double digits
Stanford is 5-2 ATS in its L/7 following an SU win
The Cardinal are 16-5 ATS in their L/21 after scoring at least 40 in their previous game

Series History
This has traditionally been a low scoring series dating back to 2002, but that was bucked last year with a 43-38 win for Arizona in the desert. Stanford had also covered five of the previous six before last year as well. While playing on “The Farm,” Arizona does know what victory tastes like, having won here in 2007, 2000, and 1998 in recent memory, but the Cardinal have two of the L/3 laughs with wins in both 2008 as short underdogs and 2002 as short favorites.

Saturday, November 6th: #14 Missouri Tigers @ Texas Tech Red Raiders
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Mizzou is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 as road favorites of less than double digits
The Tigers are 14-6 ATS in their L/20 overall
Texas Tech is 42-17-1 ATS in its L/60 following an SU defeat

Series History
These two teams surprisingly don’t meet all that often, but they are probably going to have to get used to each other a lot more starting next year when the Big XII shrinks to just ten teams. The Tigers have won the L/3 both SU and ATS and have scored an average of 47.0 points per game in doing so. From 1995 to 2002, the teams split four games both SU and ATS. It’s a good thing that the Techsters are playing in Lubbock this weekend, because they have never covered a spread or won a game outright in Columbia.

Saturday, November 6th: Minnesota Golden Gophers @ #15 Michigan State Spartans
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Gophers are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 games as road underdogs of at least ten points
Michigan State is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 home games against teams with a losing road record
The Spartans are just 7-15-1 ATS in their L/23 played in the month of November

Series History
The dogs have covered eight of the L/9 in this series, and that means that there has been a ton of success for the Golden Gophers as well! Minnesota has been dominating in this series over the L/3 games, winning 42-34 last year at home, 31-18 in 2006, and 41-18 in 2005. You have to go back to 2004 to find the last win for Sparty at home in this series, and all the way back to 1997 before that. Minnesota knows how to win games here in East Lansing, but unless there is going to be a major miracle happening between now and then, it probably doesn’t stand a chance on Saturday.

Saturday, November 6th: #16 Iowa Hawkeyes @ Indiana Hoosiers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Hawkeyes are 16-5 ATS in their L/21 road games
Iowa is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 in the Big Ten
The Hoosiers are just 2-6 ATS in their L/8 against the Hawkeyes

Series History
Last season’s 42-24 loss for the Hoosiers at Kinnick Stadium was a lot closer than the final score suggests. It was the second straight cover for the Hawkeyes in this series after winning 45-9 here in Bloomington two years ago. Before that though, it was Upset City for IU. The Hoosiers won 38-20 in the cornfields of Iowa as 9.5 point favorites in 2007 and 31-28 as whopping 19 point dogs in ’06. You can bet that the Indiana faithful are going to try to conjure up those moments from ’06 once again, as this is a very similar situation against a very, very good Iowa team.

Saturday, November 6th: #19 Arkansas Razorbacks @ #17 South Carolina Gamecocks
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Razorbacks are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 played in the SEC
Arkansas is 8-3 ATS in its L/11 against teams with a winning record
The Gamecocks are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 against teams with a winning record

Series History
This is a remarkably close series between two very good programs that absolutely mirror each other this year. Arkansas does hold a 7-2 ATS edge since 2001 in this rivalry game, but it hasn’t always been easy. South Carolina has a 34-21 win here in Columbia in the last encounter here, but the Hogs won 33-16 last year as 7.5 point favorites. Both teams know what it’s like to win on the other’s home field, but the Razorbacks have done more winning as guests. They did so in both 2006 and 2002, both times as short favorites.

Saturday, November 6th: #22 Baylor Bears @ #18 Oklahoma State Cowboys
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bears are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 played in November
Baylor is 10-4 ATS in its L/14 against teams with a winning record
The favorite is 10-1 ATS in the L/11 in this series

Series History
It still seems weird to us to think that the Bears are a Top 25 team and in control of the Big XII South at this point. They haven’t won in this series since 2005 either SU or ATS, as the Pokes have rolled off four straight ‘W’s, all of which have come by at least 27 points. The Bears only have 13 points to show for their L/2 seasons worth of work against Okie State, a number which absolutely has to improve if they think they have any shot of pulling the upset in Stillwater. But hey, Baylor has been doing this sort of thing all season long, so why not again on Saturday?

Saturday, November 6th: #7 Wisconsin Badgers @ Purdue Boilermakers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Badgers are just 2-10 ATS in their L/12 road games as double digit favorites
Wisky is just 1-5 ATS in its L/6 games as a favorite
The Boilermakers are 7-2-1 ATS in its L/10 as double digit underdogs

Series History
The Boilermakers haven’t done a heck of a lot of scoring of late in this series, getting blanked 37-0 last year in Camp Randall and being blitzed 24-3 the last time these teams met in Lafayette. With QB Robert Marve out of the lineup, there’s a good chance that there won’t be a lot of points this year from the Boilers either. Wisky has covered four straight and has gone 6-1-1 ATS in the L/6 dating back to 1998 in this series. The Boilermakers haven’t won a game at home since 1997. The L/4 have all stayed ‘under’ the total.

Thursday, November 4th: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets @ Virginia Tech Hokies
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Jackets are 2-6 ATS in their L/8 played on Thursday night
G-Tech is 13-5 ATS in its L/18 road games
The Hokies have the longest ATS winning streak in the country at six games

Series History
There have been six meeting of these teams since the Hokies joined the ACC, and it seems as though each and every season, this is a crucial duel in deciding who wins the ACC Coastal Division. This year really isn’t that much of an exception, as VT can really put it away with a win on Thursday night. The Jackets have covered two straight in this series, winning 28-23 as short underdogs last year and just missing in a 20-17 loss here in Blacksburg in their last visit. The last three meetings have all resulted in ‘under’ games, so don’t be surprised if this is yet another low scoring affair.

Saturday, November 6th: #23 Nevada Wolf Pack @ Idaho Vandals
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Wolf Pack are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 following an SU victory
Nevada is 0-4 ATS in its L/4 home field turf
Idaho has gone 5-1 ATS in its L/6 games as dogs at the Kibbie Dome

Series History
There certainly has been no shortage of points in this series, at least from Nevada’s end of things in this series. Dating back to 1997, the Wolf Pack are averaging 49.5 points per game, and they are coming off of a ridiculous 70 put on the board last year at home. The last time these teams met in Moscow was back in 2008, a 49-14 win for the visitors as 23.5 point favorites. Idaho has gone just 1-4 ATS and 0-5 SU since 2005, and its last victory in this series was back in 1999. The last win at home came in 1996, a 24-15 win.

Saturday, November 6th: North Carolina Tar Heels vs. #24 Florida State Seminoles
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Tar Heels are 6-2 ATS in their L/10 against teams with a winning record
FSU is 3-7 ATS in its L/10 games played at Doak Campbell Stadium
The road team has covered four straight in this series dating back to 2001

Series History
It wasn’t all that many years ago that these two teams were ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the country. The Noles were seven point favorites that day in Chapel Hill, and they triumphed 20-3. The Noles have only lost to UNC one time in their history in the ACC, a brutal 41-9 defeat in 2001 as 17 point favorites. It marked one of the first times that FSU had been beaten in ACC play since moving into the conference. Since ’03 though, this series has been all one way traffic for Florida State. Sure, the Seminoles didn’t cover the 28.5 point spread in 2004, but it really has cruised past Carolina without any incident.

Saturday, November 6th: #25 NC State Wolfpack @ Clemson Tigers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Wolfpack are 7-2 ATS in their L/9 overall
NC State is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 played in November
Clemson is just 3-5 ATS in its L/8 overall

Series History
The Tigers and Wolfpack have met a ton in conference play, but you have to go all the way back to 2003 to find the last win for NCSU, a 17-15 victory. The last time it won both SU and ATS in the same season against the Tigers was actually its last win here in Death Valley as well. The Wolfpack won 38-6 that day in the most lopsided final in their favor in the history of this series in the ACC. Clemson hasn’t won a game by less than 18 since 2006.

Week 9 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 9 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 9 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

A number of so called “better” teams are heading on the road to highlight the action this weekend, and here at Bankroll Sports, we’ll have all of our NFL Week 9 picks available for you throughout the week.

The Chicago Bears are probably in the most predictable spot this week, as they are heading into Ralph Wilson Stadium off of a bye week against the Buffalo Bills. The hosts have to be happy to be back at home, especially after crushing overtime defeats against the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs on the road in back to back weeks. Buffalo remains as the last winless team in the NFL, but that could change this weekend. Still, the oddsmakers are making the Bears 2.5 point chalks.

The biggest of the road favorites of the week 9 NFL lines are the New England Patriots. The Pats are laying 5.5 at the Cleveland Browns, who are coming off of their bye week as well. Cleveland looks as though it has a great, new look on offense with QB Colt McCoy calling the shots, and this will be the ultimate test to do what fellow rookie QB Sam Bradford did in the preseason: Beat the Patriots. You know that this is a huge game for Cleveland fans, as New England HC Bill Belichick was a miserable failure with the Browns. However, the Mad Scientist knows how hot and heavy the Dawg Pound can get, but he loves really sticking it to the team that he first coached way back in the day.

At this point, the biggest favorites of all the NFL Week 9 lines are the Atlanta Falcons. They’re taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what might be the biggest game of the season for both teams. First place in the NFC South will be on the line, as the Bucs are only trailing Atlanta by a half game. We know that Tampa Bay really hasn’t played a solid schedule as of yet, but it has a chance to really prove the oddsmakers wrong in this one with what would be an excellent win on the road. The problem is that the two times that the Bucs have run up against definitive postseason teams this year, they were crushed by both the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Falcons are getting healthy and are coming off of their bye week, and they have no desire to fall back to the pack in the NFC South. Atlanta is lined at -9 on the opening lines.

Perhaps the most interesting matchup of the week is that of the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens don’t lose at home often, though they were threatened by the aforementioned Bills in their most recent game two weeks ago. However now, they are coming off of their bye and certainly have their hands full with the Fins this week. Miami improved to 4-0 SU and ATS on the road this year last week by upsetting the Cincinnati Bengals 22-14, and the oddsmakers have appropriately adjusted the line accordingly. The Fish are still dogs, but only catching 4.5 points at M&T Bank Stadium seems like a short line.

As always in the NFL, we’re on QB Brett Favre alert, as we are worried about whether he’ll be able to keep his streak alive of consecutive games played after last week’s jarring hit against the New England Patriots that knocked him out of the lineup. We know that WR Randy Moss won’t be with the team anymore, as he was released on Monday just three games after being traded for from the same Pats that beat Minnesota last weekend. The Vikes are currently off the board against the Arizona Cardinals at home on Sunday until the Favre situation is officially sorted out.

In regards to the ‘total’, at least at this point, all eight games on the board are listed with ‘totals’ between 40 and 45, but we fully expect to see some bigger numbers by the time these games all go up and go off the board on Sunday.

It could be the biggest game in the history of the Houston Texans and one of the darker days in the last decade for the Indianapolis Colts. First place in the AFC South will be on the line, as the winner of this Monday Night Football betting affair will take over the lead in the division and be in the driver’s seat for the postseason. For Houston, this has never happened in franchise history. Of course, neither has winning a game in Indy, nor has sweeping the Colts. For Indianapolis, a loss would really be damaging to its postseason chances and could mark the beginning of the end of the Colts’ dynasty. You know that we have Monday Night Football props covered in this one, and you aren’t going to want to miss out on any of these great chances to make some coin on MNF.

Peyton Manning Passing Yards Over/Under 300.5
Simply put, this number just couldn’t be high enough for us. Manning is just going to tear this Houston secondary apart just like he did in Week 1 when he threw for well over 400 yards in one of the best passing days of the entire season by a quarterback. Many think that the Texans have the worst secondary in football, and based upon the fact that they are allowing 306.2 yards per game through the air, there is some really good justification for that. Unless the pressure gets to be too tough in the backfield for Manning, there’s no way that he doesn’t reach this number. Of course, nothing ever really ruffles the feathers of No. 18, so there’s no way that we are doing anything but playing Manning Over 300.5 Passing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Monday Night Football.

Arian Foster Over/Under 99.5 Rushing Yards
Are we certifiably insane here? Foster ran the ball 33 times in Week 1 and had the best rushing day of the season against the Colts, rumbling for 233 yards and three scores! However, we just aren’t so sure about the former Tennessee Volunteer’s chances in this one. Indianapolis has gotten significantly better against the run in recent weeks, and with LT Duane Brown out of the lineup serving a suspension, the Texans are missing perhaps their best run blocker in the lineup. There’s also something significantly different about playing this game from behind than from ahead, and we know that Houston isn’t going to march into Lucas Oil Field and absolutely beat the Colts down physically like they did in Week 1. Foster has a chance of getting to 100 yards on the day, but we tend to think that this is a bet for suckers only. The Texans are a passing team, and they’re going to show it on Monday. Go with Foster Under 99.5 Rushing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Andre Johnson Over/Under 78.5 Receiving Yards
Let’s be real here for a second. Andre Johnson is a man amongst boys on the field, and it seems like he can single handedly take over a game when need be. He is the best player in Houston’s lineup and it isn’t even close, and there is no way that he is going to be taken out of a game like this like he was in Week 1. It’s not that Indy really did anything special to eliminate the Miami Hurricanes standout in the first clash of the year. It’s that the running game was working so well that there was no need to put the pigskin in the air. Don’t be shocked if Johnson gets involved early and often, especially after the bye week that should help heal any nagging wounds that have kept him on the sidelines at times this year. After that huge performance against Kansas City when he single handedly won the game, Johnson should have no problem going Over 78.5 Receiving Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Pierre Garcon Over/Under 3.5 Receptions
With TE Dallas Clark out of the lineup and WR Austin Collie considered extremely questionable, we know that someone has to step up to take over the reception load of one of the best tight ends in the game. Normally speaking, we would suggest that WR Anthony Gonzalez would be able to do that, but we aren’t so sure that he’ll be 100% effective even if he is able to start to play again for the first time since the very beginning of last season. We aren’t so sure that Garcon is going to be that man either, but if Manning is going to be throwing 45-50 passes in this game, we are very sure that at least a half dozen of them are heading in the Mount Union product’s direction. We find it very unlikely that Garcon doesn’t go Over 3.5 Receiving Yards (-155 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Week 8 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 8 NFL matchups.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET: Green Bay Packers @ New York Jets
NFL Trends of Note
The Packers have covered five straight following their bye week
Green Bay is 15-5-1 ATS in its L/21 as an underdog
New York is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 years following its bye week

Series History
The Jets have absolutely reamed the Packers in their L/2 meetings with one another, winning 38-10 at Lambeau Field in 2006 and 42-17 in the Meadowlands in 2002. Since 1985, these teams have met six times, with the Pack getting beaten outright in five of the six and posting just a 1-4-1 ATS record. Needless to say, New York hopes this continues on Sunday to try to improve the NFL’s best ATS mark right now at 5-1 ATS.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Denver Broncos vs. San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Broncos are just 17-35 ATS in their L/52 games after SU losses of more than two TDs
Denver is 7-20-1 ATS in its L/28 against teams with losing records
San Fran is just 7-19-1 ATS in its L/27 played in October

Series History
This is going to be the first time that either the Broncos or 49ers have paid a visit to Jolly Ol’ England, and it should be a good one. The Niners pulled off a tremendous upset in 2006 at Mile High Stadium, winning 26-23 in overtime as ten point pups. The previous meeting also went to the road team and the underdog in 2002, a 24-14 win for Denver at Candlestick Park.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions
NFL Trends of Note
Washington is 6-18-3 ATS in its L/27 against teams with a losing record
Detroit is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 home games
The home team is 7-2 ATS in the L/9 meetings

Series History
Last year, this was the game which ended the dastardly losing streak for the Lions that extended 19 games, including the winless campaign in 2008. The Lions had failed to cover the previous three though, notching their most recent win from that point in 2000 by the count of 15-10. This is also a series that is notorious for low scoring affairs, as the ‘under’ has gone 6-0-2 over the L/8 meetings dating back to 1997.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Miami Dolphins @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Trends of Note
The Dolphins remain 3-0 SU and ATS this year on the road but 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS at home
The Fins are 9-1-1 ATS in their L/11 games played in Week 8
Cincy is 3-11 ATS in its L/14 overall

Series History
These teams actually don’t play that often, which is very surprising for teams sharing a conference. However, the Dolphins really dominated this series from 1987 through 2000, going 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in that stretch. Cincinnati has since struck back though, winning 16-13 in 2004 and 38-25 in 2007. That cover in South Beach in ’07 marked just the second cover in this series for the Bengals since before Dan Marino was quarterbacking the team.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Carolina Panthers @ St. Louis Rams
NFL Trends of Note
Carolina is 10-3 ATS in its L/13 against the NFC
The Panthers are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 on the road
The Rams have failed to cover a spread in this series since 2001

Series History
These two teams really don’t like each other, and it was really proven in the infamous double overtime game in the 2004 playoffs when WR Steve Smith ended the Rams’ season with a longest touchdown grab. That started a four game winning streak SU for the Panthers in this series of these former NFC West rivals. The “Greatest Show on Turf” does have a 48-14 win in 2001 to show for its work, but that was the last time that the Rams covered a spread in this series.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Jacksonville Jaguars @ Dallas Cowboys
NFL Trends of Note
The Jags are just 2-8 ATS in the L/10 seasons in Week 8
Jacksonville is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a losing record
Dallas has covered two of the four all-time meetings with the Jags

Series History
There isn’t much of a history here to look at, but these teams have put on four games that have all looked very, very similar. The home team is 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS, and both teams have a pair of victories. All four games featured between 40 and 48 points, with the winning team scoring between 21 and 26 and the losing team scoring between 17 and 22.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
NFL Trends of Note
The Bills are 10-4 ATS in their L/14 road games
Buffalo is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 against teams with a winning record
KC is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 overall

Series History
Ever since the 1994 AFC Championship Game that sent the Bills to the Super Bowl, Buffalo has really dominated this series. You have to go back to 2003 to find the last time that the Chiefs won a game in this series (and that was by the ever so popular score of 38-5), and you won’t find a win at Ralph Wilson Stadium since before the Bills became good. Buffalo has played here at Arrowhead in each of the L/2 seasons, and has victories in both games. Don’t expect it to score anywhere near the 54 that it put on the board in 2008, though.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ San Diego Chargers
NFL Trends of Note
The Titans are 9-2 ATS in the L/11 seasons in Week 8
San Diego is 2-7 ATS in its L/9 played in October
The Chargers have covered five straight in this series

Series History
The Bolts don’t have a heck of a lot going for them right now, but perhaps the fact that they have never lost to this franchise SU or ATS since it was known as the Houston Oilers might cheer them up. On Christmas Day last year, the Bolts pasted Tennessee 42-17 at LP Field. The last time the Oilers franchise won here was in 1990 at the old Jack Murphy Stadium. The Titans/Oilers haven’t scored more than 17 points in a game in this series since the 1980s!

Sunday, October 31st, 4:15 PM ET: Seattle Seahawks @ Oakland Raiders
NFL Trends of Note
Seattle is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 played on grass
The Seahawks are 2-10 ATS in their L/12 road games
Oakland is 16-36 ATS in its L/52 played at the Black Hole

Series History
The last time a team won two consecutive games in this series, the Seahawks were playing in the AFC West. Seattle has 16-0 and 34-27 wins at home against the Raiders since 2001, but 31-17 and 38-14 losses on the road in that stretch as well. The two teams are virtually split down the middle at 10-10 ATS since 1993, with Oakland holding a very slender 11-9 SU edge. The last time the Seahawks won at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum? 1997, 22-21.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots
NFL Trends of Note
The Vikes are 10-3 ATS in their L/13 following an SU defeat
The Pats are 21-6 ATS in their L/27 after picking up less than 250 total yards of offense in their previous game
New England is 24-7-2 ATS in its L/33 played in October

Series History
There are a lot of question marks here revolving around Brett Favre and whether he’ll play against the Pats, but our guess is that he’ll trudge out there, just to keep the streak alive. The streak that Minnesota is trying to get going again is its cover streak against the Patriots. The Vikings lost 31-7 at the Metrodome in 2006 in the most recent meeting, but before that, they had gone 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS dating back to 1994.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Arizona Cardinals
NFL Trends of Note
The Cards are 2-8 ATS in their L/10 played in Week 8
Arizona is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 played in October
The Bucs are 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS in this series since 1989

Series History
We hope that you’re not looking for a pretty game when these two teams meet on Sunday. In fact, there hasn’t been a game hit the 40s between these teams since 1988, and that was the first time that the Cardinals played Tampa Bay with their home residing in the desert. Since the Cards moved from St. Louis, Tampa Bay has only played here four times, going 2-2 SU and ATS. The impressive part about that? The Bucs have never scored more than 14 points in a game here!

Sunday, October 31st, 8:20 PM ET: Pittsburgh Steelers @ New Orleans Saints
NFL Trends of Note
Pittsburgh is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 overall
The Saints are 2-8 ATS in their L/10 played on field turf
New Orleans is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record

Series History
This meeting between the last two Super Bowl champs doesn’t have a heck of a lot of history. In fact, these two have only cracked skulls seven times in the last 30 years! Pittsburgh does own a 4-3 SU edge and is 4-2-1 ATS in those seven games, though its most recent win in the Bayou came back in 1990. The last meeting of these teams was a far more entertaining game, a 38-31 win for the visiting Steelers, who just narrowly covered the six point NFL betting line.

Monday, November 1st, 8:30 PM ET: Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts
NFL Trends of Note
The Texans are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 seasons in Week 8
Indianapolis is 7-1-2 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record
The Colts are 9-4-1 ATS in their L/13 versus AFC foes

Series History
This is the biggest game in the history of the Houston Texans, and it’s not a stretch to say that. They have never won a game here in Indianapolis, and this is the first chance that they really have to post a season sweep of the big kahuna of their division. Houston won 34-24 earlier this year at home against the Colts, earning just their third all time win in this series, but they have covered three of the L/4 meetings and could be set to really bust out as a team on the rise capable of making the playoffs.

Week 8 of the 2010 NFL campaign is going to get underway this weekend. Below you will find the current list of 2010 Week 8 NFL lines and spreads along with a breakdown of the Week 8 NFL odds. Be sure to check out the free NFL picks from the expert handicappers at Bankroll Sports this weekend…

Week 8 of the NFL season is going to be quite the interesting one for a number of teams. There are currently 11 games on the NFL schedule for this weekend, and only one of the 11 home teams are underdogs, something that is out of the ordinary by the standards of NFL betting action.

It’s even more ironic when that one underdog is the defending Super Bowl champs. Something is really wrong right now with the New Orleans Saints, as they really haven’t had but one very strong game this season, and they have really yet to seize control of the Louisiana Superdome as they have had in recent years. This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to town in a clash of the two most recent Super Bowl champions. Pittsburgh’s defense looked penetrable last week against the Miami Dolphins, and the men in black and gold have to hope that that remains the case once again this week. However, with QB Ben Roethlisberger now having strung together back to back great games, this battle is sure to be a great one on Sunday. NFL picks can be made on this game until the Halloween night kickoff at 8:20, and the hosts are slender one point pups.

The month of November will kick off with a tremendous game as well. The Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans are both coming off of their bye week, and they’ll meet at Lucas Oil Field for a tremendous Week 8 encounter on Monday Night Football. Houston took a major step in the right direction by beating down the Colts in Week 1 of the season, as RB Arian Foster rumbled for over 200 yards on the day. With the news breaking this week that TE Dallas Clark has been put on IR, one has to wonder if this is the year that the Texans win in Indianapolis for the first time ever. The oddsmakers are showing faith in the hosts though, as they are 5.5 point choices of the oddsmakers. The ‘total’ of 50 is the first game this year that has cracked the half century mark on the board.

This past weekend, the Buffalo Bills were the biggest underdogs on the board against the Baltimore Ravens, and they nearly pulled off the tremendous upset before falling in overtime to the men in purple and black. This weekend, they are once again the biggest dogs on the board, as they are 7.5 points in the rears to start against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Now though, Buffalo has the added pressure of being the only team in the NFL that has yet to win a game. It seems farfetched to really go the whole season without a win, but with the 2008 Detroit Lions watching and smirking, the Bills are going to be pressed to get the monkey off their backs in this one against the AFC West leaders.

With rashes and rashes of ‘over’ games of late, Week 8 is likely to feature 11 games with ‘totals’ in the 40s. The one exception is going to be the clash between the Carolina Panthers and the St. Louis Rams. These two were both playing in games last week that were decided at the gun, but the Panthers proved to be winners for the first time this year over the San Francisco 49ers, while the Rams were narrow one point losers to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The prospect was there for this to be the first battle of the season between two rookie starting quarterbacks, but it appears as though QB Matt Moore is going to be the man under center in this one for the Panthers, not QB Jimmy Clausen. This should be a great one for QB Sam Bradford, who has led his team to three wins at home already on the season. St. Louis is favored by three points, while the ‘total’ has been set at the lowest number on the board at 36.5.

The one question mark this week is whether or not QB Brett Favre is going to lose his streak of consecutive games played dating back to the 1992 season or not. Favre reportedly has some serious ankle injuries at this point, and Minnesota’s game with the New England Patriots in Foxboro is currently off the board.

Week 9 college football betting is here! Bankroll Sports is back with more NCAA football picks for Week 9 of the year, but before we do that, we need to take a look at the important trends and history that the teams that are facing against each other this week.

Thursday, October 28th: Florida State Seminoles @ NC State Wolfpack
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Noles are just 1-4-1 ATS in their L/6 played on Thursday
NC State is 13-3 ATS in its L/16 after a bye week
The Wolfpack are 15-6-1 ATS in their L/22 against teams with a winning record

Series History
The Seminoles come into this game at just 5-4 SU in their L/9 against the Wolfpack, something that is unheard of against a team from the ACC. The garnet and gold are only 0-8-1 ATS in those nine games and will desperately be looking to buck the NCAA football trends on that in Thursday night’s primetime, nationally televised game. The Wolfpack have wins at home against FSU is 2006 and 2002 to show for their work against Florida State.

Friday, October 29th: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Connecticut Huskies
NCAA Football Trends of Note
WVU is 11-0 ATS in its L/11 road games against teams with a losing home record
UConn has covered five straight as home underdogs of less than double digits
The Huskies are 35-16 ATS in their L/51 after a loss of at least three touchdowns

Series History
The Huskies have never won a game in this series, but at least they took a step in the right direction last year by covering their first spread by losing by just four points in Morgantown. It’s not like these games have been even remotely close either. WVU has won by at least 22 four times in six lifetime meetings, averaging beating UConn by 23.5 points per game from 2004 until 2009.

Saturday, October 30th: Oklahoma State Cowboys @ Kansas State Wildcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
KSU is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 played in the Big XII
The Wildcats are 9-4 ATS in their L/13 overall
Oklahoma State is just 1-5 ATS in the L/6 in this series

Series History
The news for Okie State just continues to get worse. Its defense had no luck stopping the Nebraska Cornhuskers last week, and now it has to run up against one of the best running backs in the nation in RB Daniel Thomas. WR Justin Blackmon has been suspended for this game after a DUI, and now it runs up against a team that has quite frankly dominated this series. You have to go back to 1988 to find the last win for the Pokes in the Little Apple, and though they have won at home in both 2007 and 2003, they are just 1-5 ATS since 1998 against the Wildcats.

Saturday, October 30th: Syracuse Orange @ Cincinnati Bearcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Orange are 6-1 ATS in their L/6 on the road against teams with winning home records
Cincinnati is 3-9 ATS in its L/12 games overall
The underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in the L/8 meetings in this series

Series History
One of the exception’s was last year’s 28-7 win for the Bearcats at the Carrier Dome as 15.5 point favorites. However, this could be a year of some big time revenge for the Orange. Syracuse is playing well, particularly on the road in conference having scored two straight wins there, and they are going to try to pick up their first win in Cincinnati since the 1994 season. The ‘Cuse do have one win since Cincinnati moved to the Big East, but you have to go back to 2004 to find that. Since then, the Bearcats are 3-1-1 ATS and 5-0 SU, and have averaged beating the snot out of the Orange by 16.4 points per game.

Saturday, October 30th: Miami Hurricanes @ Virginia Cavaliers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Canes are just 3-7 ATS in their L/10 played in the ACC
Miami is just 7-18-1 ATS in its L/26 against teams with a losing record
UVA has failed to cover four straight conference games

Series History
The Hurricanes have really taken some vengeance to the fact that the Cavaliers shut down the Orange Bowl with a 48-0 victory in the last game ever played there by Miami in 2007. Since then, “The U” is 2-0 SU and ATS, winning 52-17 at home and 24-17 on the road. The Canes are 4-3 ATS and 5-2 SU all time against the Cavs, including going 2-1 SU and ATS here in Charlottesville.

Saturday, October 30th: Louisville Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Panthers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Redbirds are 3-11 ATS in their L/14 games played in the Big East
Louisville is 4-9 ATS in its L/13 against teams with a winning record
U-Pitt is 9-4 ATS in its L/13 games at Heinz Field

Series History
It’s been all one way traffic in favor of the Panthers over the L/3 seasons, as HC Dave Wannstedt’s team is 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS in those meetings. The Cards are 3-2 SU but only 2-3 ATS since moving over to the Big East against the Panthers. They do have one big win here in the Steel City since 1993, a 48-24 triumph as ten point chalks in November of 2006.

Saturday, October 30th: Northwestern Wildcats @ Indiana Hoosiers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Wildcats have covered six straight road games against teams with winning home records
Northwestern has failed to cover seven straight games after allowing more than 280 passing yards in its previous game
Indiana is just 5-12 ATS in its L/17 following an SU defeat

Series History
These Indiana state rivals have really played some great football against each other through the years, which is why we’re keying in on this game. The underdogs have gone 6-1 ATS in this series since 2001, but since 2002, the favorite all of the games have been separated by seven points or less. Heck, both clashes in 2003 and 2004 went to overtime. The home team has won four straight and eight out of nine in this series, with the one road win coming here in Bloomington for the Wildcats in 2003. Northwestern survived a 29-28 scare last year from Indiana.

Saturday, October 30th: Tennessee Volunteers @ South Carolina Gamecocks
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Vols are 8-1 ATS in their L/9 games as road pups of double digits
South Carolina is 10-4 ATS in its L/14 against teams with a losing record
The Gamecocks are 5-2 ATS in their L/7 home games

Series History
The road team has gone 9-3-1 ATS in the L/13 in this series. South Carolina knows that it has its work cut out for it, especially with RB Marcus Lattimore injured and questionable for the proceedings, especially for as stingy as this Tennessee team has been lately. The Vols have historically dominated this series, but in the HC Steve Spurrier era, the Gamecocks have fought back. This is the most points that they have ever been favored by in this series. If you take all of the points scored by each of these teams over the L/5 seasons, the Vols have a very slight 110-104 edge.

Saturday, October 30th: Tulsa Golden Hurricane @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Golden Hurricane are 11-24-1 ATS in their L/36 as dogs of more than a field goal but less than double digits
The Irish have covered four straight after scoring 20 points or less in their previous outing
Notre Dame is 16-35-2 ATS in its L/53 played at Notre Dame Stadium

Series History
First Meeting

Saturday, October 30th: Florida Gators vs. Georgia Bulldogs
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Gators are 2-6 ATS in their L/8 played in the SEC
Georgia is 3-7 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record
The Bulldogs are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 played on a neutral field

Series History
The World’s Biggest Cocktail Party is always one of the fiercest games of the season, and this one isn’t going to be an exception in spite of the fact that neither team is ranked in the Top 25, nor is getting any votes. The L/2 seasons, the Gators have taken a big time bite out of the Dawgs, winning by a combined score of 90-27, but UGA is out for some revenge. Will we see some shenanigans like we did in ’07 when the entire team swarmed the field after the first score of the game? The Bulldogs did win that day 42-30, so who knows what could be in store in Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon.

Saturday, October 30th: Michigan State Spartans @ Iowa Hawkeyes
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Sparty has gone 3-7 ATS in its L/10 as underdogs
Iowa is 13-3 ATS in its L/16 following an ATS defeat
The Hawkeyes are 14-5 ATS in their L/19 against teams with a winning record

Series History
Last year, Iowa went on the road and took care of the Spartans 15-13 in a game that helped propel them to the National Championship scene. Michigan State needs to return the favor this year to stay alive in the title race as well. The home team had won every game dating back into the 1990s in this series, but Iowa has gone 7-1 ATS since 2000. Neither team has exceeded 16 points in this series in the L/2 years.

Saturday, October 30th: East Carolina Pirates @ UCF Knights
NCAA Football Trends of Note
ECU is 7-2 ATS in its L/9 overall
The Pirates are 5-12 ATS in their L/17 road games
The Knights are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 overall

Series History
It’s not often that we take the chance to talk about Conference USA, but it isn’t often that we have two teams this good playing each other. The Knights have had no luck in this series, winning just once since these two teams got together in Conference USA play and never winning in Orlando. UCF has lost four straight, but has gone 2-2 ATS in those four games, including sticking in front of both numbers in each of the L/2 years. The winner of this one gains the huge inside track in the East Division in Conference USA and will probably represent that half of the conference in the league title game in December.

Saturday, October 30th: Texas Tech Red Raiders @ Texas A&M Aggies
NCAA Football Trends of Note
T-Tech is 2-5 ATS in its L/7 after an SU win
The Aggies are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 home games against teams with a winning road record
The Red Raiders have failed to cover eight straight as road pups of 3.5-10 points

Series History
These Lone Star State rivals have played some real Texas sized shootouts since 2002. The average score when these two have collided since that point has reached 70.3 points per game, including last year’s 52-30 win for the Aggies in shocking form. A&M was a dog by 22 points and did the old reverse cover on the Techsters. That snapped Tech’s four game winning streak in this series. In spite of the fact that the Aggies have covered two straight, the Red Raiders have gone 6-3 ATS since 2001 in this rivalry.

Saturday, October 30th: Missouri Tigers @ Nebraska Cornhuskers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Tigers are 14-5 ATS in their L/19 on the road
Nebraska is 11-5 ATS in its L/16 against teams with a winning record
The home team is 6-2 ATS in the L/8 in this series

Series History
It’s a shame to think that this will be the last time that these two teams collide as members of the Big XII. The two have put on some real shows and have been evenly matched since the 2003 season. Since that point, the Tigers are 4-3 SU and ATS, and all four wins have come by at least 17 points. Nebraska did a number on the ‘Zou last year though in Columbia, winning 27-12 and totally shutting down QB Blaine Gabbert and the Mizzou offense.

Saturday, October 30th: Auburn Tigers @ Mississippi Rebels
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Tigers are 1-9 ATS in their L/10 against teams with a losing record
Auburn is 2-9 ATS in its L/11 on the road
The Rebels are 3-1 ATS in the L/4 in this series

Series History
This is a series that Auburn used to dominate, but that just hasn’t been the case in recent seasons. Ole Miss does only have one win outright since 2003 and hasn’t won at Jordan Hare Stadium since that point, but the last two times the Tigers have come to Oxford, only bad things have happened. They were dropped 17-7 in ’08 here, and nearly taken down in a 23-17 escape as 18 point favorites in 2006.

Saturday, October 30th: Kentucky Wildcats @ Mississippi State Bulldogs
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Cats are 2-5 ATS in their L/7 games as underdogs
MSU is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 as favorites of 3.5-10 points
The Bulldogs are just 2-9 ATS in their L/11 as home favorites

Series History
These two teams have fought like Cats and Dogs over the last four years, with the road team winning four straight both SU and ATS. No team has strung more than two consecutive wins SU together in this series since the 1990s. The Wildcats do hold a slight 6-3 ATS edge of note since the 2001 season, but these two teams won’t always meet up with each other with this frequency since they are in opposite halves of the SEC.

Saturday, October 30th: Stanford Cardinal @ Washington Huskies
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Huskies are 6-13 ATS in their L/19 against teams with winning records
U-Dub is 18-38-2 ATS in its L/58 home games
The Cardinal are 4-1-1 ATS in the L/6 meetings in this series

Series History
Stanford is suddenly winning games left and right in this series after not standing a chance in the early 2000s. The Trees won 34-14 last year at home and 35-28 the year before in Seattle, and they have a real chance to win their third straight in this series SU and their fourth straight ATS at Husky Stadium. The losing team has been held to 17 points or less in this series five times in the L/6 years, with the one exception coming in 2008. That was also the only one of these meetings that didn’t stay ‘under’ the ‘total’.

Saturday, October 30th: Baylor Bears @ Texas Longhorns
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bears are 9-4 ATS in their L/13 against teams with a winning record
Texas is just 2-8 ATS in its L/10 overall
The Longhorns are 2-6 ATS in their L/8 against teams with a winning record

Series History
It’s hard to believe that the Bears haven’t won a game in this series since the 1997 season and have only won once since 1992. Heck, this is the first time that Baylor hasn’t been an underdog of at least three TDs in that stretch as well. Since 2000, Texas has averaged being favored by 31.9 points per game, and has averaged winning its ten victories by 37.2 points per game. It could be payback time for Baylor though, as the road team is 9-3 ATS in the L/12 meetings in this series.

Saturday, October 30th: Utah Utes @ Air Force Falcons
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Utes are the only undefeated ATS team in the nation at 6-0-1 ATS and have the longest ATS winning streak in the land at six games
Utah is 10-1-1 ATS in its L/12 overall
The underdog has gone 11-0-1 ATS in the L/12 in this series

Series History
Most of that is bad news for the Falcons, especially when you factor in that the road team is 7-1 ATS in the L/8 in this series. Air Force has covered three straight in this series but only has one outright win since 2002. Ironically, you have to go back to 2001 to find the last win for the Falcons in Colorado Springs against one of their biggest rivals. This is the last scheduled meeting of these teams as Mountain West opponents before the Utes head to the Pac-10.

Saturday, October 30th: Michigan Wolverines @ Penn State Nittany Lions
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Wolverines are 3-8 ATS in their L/11 played away from Ann Arbor
Michigan is winless ATS in its L/4 games as road favorites
The Nittany Lions are 9-2-1 ATS in their L/12 games played in October

Series History
After decades of dominance by the Wolverines, the Nittany Lions have finally stormed back and taken control of this series once again. They destroyed Big Blue 35-10 in the Big House last year and 46-17 upon Michigan’s last visit to Happy Valley. Unfortunately for the Beaver Stadium faithful though, you have to go back a decade to find the most recent win before that, including a number of terrible outings for the hosts. PSU was shut out here in 2001 and beaten 17-10 in 2006.

Saturday, October 30th: Oregon Ducks @ USC Trojans
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Quack Attack is 19-7 ATS in its L/26 games played in October
USC is 7-16 ATS in its L/23 played in October
The men of Troy are 3-8 ATS in their L/11 played on grass

Series History
The home team has won four straight in this series both SU and ATS, but none of those games were as notable as last season’s 47-20 thumping that the Ducks laid on the Trojans on Halloween night in Eugene. Oregon won here in LA most recently in 2000, but since that point has been hammered by 25 and 34 points. The winning team has scored at least 35 in five of the L/6 meetings.

Saturday, October 30th: Colorado Buffaloes @ Oklahoma Sooners
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Colorado is 8-17 ATS in its L/25 road games
The Sooners are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 against teams with a losing record
The home team has covered eight straight in this series

Series History
If the Sooners have long memories, this could be a long, long game for the Buffs. Colorado shocked a then undefeated Oklahoma team 27-24 with a long last second field goal in 2007, the most recent meeting of these two Big XII schools. The Sooners had won the previous five meetings SU and went 4-1 ATS in those five games. However, especially coming off of the loss to the Missouri Tigers, this game takes all the more magnification on for OU, particularly at home.

Saturday, October 30th: Ohio State Buckeyes @ Minnesota Golden Gophers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bucks are 14-3 ATS in their L/17 after allowing 20 points or less than their previous outing
OSU is 21-7 ATS in its L/28 road games
The Gophers are 1-5 ATS in their L/6 home games

Series History
The Bucks still haven’t quite put it together on the road this year, but this might be the perfect panacea. The last time they visited the Dome was in 2007, and they won 30-7. Over the L/6 seasons, OSU has won all six by at least 13 points. Minnesota’s last win in this series was back in 2000, a victory that surprisingly came at the Horseshoe as two TD pups.
