Week 2 of the 2014 college football season is upon us. Here are some of the marquee matchups and the lines for the upcoming weekend of action, courtesy of JustBet Sportsbook. All NCAA football bettors and sports fans will get their fill of quality action this weekend as there are quite a few interesting matchups on tap.

 

Thursday, September 4th

Arizona (-7) at TX-San Antonio 8:00 PM EST

The Texas-San Antonio Road Runners will look to build on their 27-7 win at Houston last weekend as they host the Arizona Wildcats. The Road Runners surprised many beating the Cougars as 10 point underdogs. Arizona took care of business last weekend, destroying UNLV 58-13.

Saturday, September 6th

#4 Oklahoma (-24) at Tulsa 12:00 pm EST

The #4 ranked Oklahoma Sooners will travel to Tulsa to take on the Golden Hurricane. The Sooners took care of business last week, as the defense put forth a dominating effort in a 48-16 win. Tulsa got some revenge against Tulane, winning 38-31 in double overtime in what was one of the more entertaining games of week 1.

Florida Atlantic at #2 Alabama (-41) 12:00PM EST 

The Alabama Crimson Tide will take on Florida Atlantic in their home opener.  Alabama had their hands full with West Virginia, winning 33-23. Florida Atlantic was not as successful last weekend, losing at Nebraska 55-7, where they only registered 13 first downs against the Cornhuskers.

#15 USC at #11 Stanford (-3.5) 3:30 PM EST

The #15 USC Trojans take on the #11 Stanford Cardinal in what will be a pivotal matchup in the PAC-12. Stanford has beaten USC in 5 of the last 7 meetings. With Steve Sarkisian at the helm for Stanford, it can only make this rivalry even better. Both teams won their week 1 games rather easily, with Stanford defeating UC-Davis 45-0, and USC defeating Fresno State 52-13. USC unveiled a new up-tempo offense last week, but Stanford’s defense has been known to deal with it quite well in the past. This should be a great matchup.

#8 Michigan State at #3 Oregon (-13) 7:30 PM EST

A fast paced up-tempo offense takes on one of the better defenses in the nation as the Oregon Ducks host the Michigan State Spartans in what will be the marquee game of the weekend. Oregon has had its share of difficulties against stellar defenses in prior seasons, and the defending Rose Bowl champions out of the Big Ten have just that. National championship implications will most definitely be at stake in this one.

Michigan (-17.5) vs #17 Notre Dame 7:30 pm EST

The Michigan Wolverines take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in one of the better rivalries in college football. The Wolverines have won 4 out of the last 5 matchups, and won last year’s matchup 41-30.  Michigan didn’t overlook Appalachian State last weekend, winning 52-14. Everett Golson made his return to last weekend, leading the Irish to a 48-17 victory over Rice.

Check The Bottom of the Post For Listing of Week 9 NCAA Football Lines

Below you will find all the current week 9 college football Missouri's Week 9 Lineslines for the upcoming weekend of action.  All the NCAA football bettors and sports fans will get their fill of quality action this weekend as there is a huge slate of televised college football matchups featuring several BCS top 25 programs.  With eight major conference teams still presently undefeated and almost of them with scheduled conference games, we are bound to see a big upset this weekend, causing the newly posted BCS rankings get shaken up after one week.  Some of the the big matchups that the sports betting public will likely be focusing in on this Saturday include the undefeated squads in the BCS top 5-10.

Wake Forest will head down to Florida to take on the undefeated #7 Miami Hurricanes.  The oddsmakers don’t expect much of a contest in this one.  The Demon Deacons are listed as a big 23.5 point road underdog in this noon (EST) game against the red hot Miami Hurricanes; who somehow escaped the wrath of the NCAA punishment squad this week.

At 3:30pm (EST), the newest Heisman odds favorite, Jameis Winston and his #2 BCS ranked, Florida State Seminoles, fresh off their big road win at Clemson last week, will play host to the Wolfpack of NC State.  Bettors who want to put their cash on the sensational freshman quarterback will have have a fun time laying 30+ points in a conference game.

In a massive SEC evening showdown at 7:00pm ET, the #20 South Carolina Gamecocks will head to Columbia, Missouri to take on the unbeaten & #5 ranked, Tigers.  This may be, arguably, the best game on the board, and SEC haters will have to watch another week of college football where one of the top two or three games on the day will be between SEC squads. Despite the big discrepancy in the two program’s rankings, the sportsbooks only have the undefeated Missouri Tigers listed as less than a field goal favorite at home against Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks.  The state of Missouri also has a lot to cheer about lately, as the Kansas City Cheifs are 7-0 and the St. Louis Cardinals head to the World Series against the Boston Red Sox, starting on Wednesday, 10/23 (Check out the World Series Odds for this week).  We think all the excitement in the air may take the pressure off the Tigers on Saturday evening.

In an always riveting Big Ten contest, the Penn State Nittany Lions will travel to Columbus to take their shots at the #4 ranked, and undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes.  Ohio State bettors will be laying more than two touchdowns of chalk in this one.  The Braxton Miller led Buckeyes are listed as 14.5 point favorites at the Horseshoe.

The week 9 NCAA football lines also feature some fantastic matchups taking place out west this Saturday.  On Saturday night at 7:00pm ET, the one-loss UCLA Bruins will shoot up to Eugene to try and slow down the high octane Oregon offense.  Jim Mora’s Bruins face a very tough task as the unbeaten Ducks are averaging over 55 points a game this season.  The #3 ranked Ducks and the always spirited Autzen Stadium crowd will also be playing host to ESPN’s flagship program, College Gameday (as if UCLA’s defense wasn’t dreading this one already).

While all of the college football fans on the East Coast will have their focus on the BCS’s unbeaten squads, Saturday’s most exciting game to bet on & watch may actually feature two one-loss programs and have a late 10:30pm ET kickoff.  In what will likely be the most competitive game of the day, the very tenacious #6 Stanford Cardinals will visit Mike Riley’s confident Oregon State running attack.  The 5-1 Beavers are 4-0 in the Pac 12 this year.

Make sure to take a look at the complete list of NCAA football matchup and the full sheet of week 9 college football odds found below. If you require any assistance this week with your college football picks, feel free to purchase the premium card of NCAA football releases from our expert handicapping team.  They are having a great season thus far, and one day of releases from our professional handicappers will cost you only $19.95.

2013 Sweet 16 Predictions: Oregon vs. Louisville March Madness

Oregon MascotFriday night in Indianapolis, the top seed in the Midwest Region, the Louisville Cardinals will take on one of the upstarts of the tournament, the Oregon Ducks. Our March Madness predictions are set to take place here at Bankroll Sports, as we analyze the keys to the game so you can make your Oregon vs. Louisville picks. Join us for the three most pressing factors that are going to help determine which one of these two teams is going to get to the Elite Eight and just one step away from the Final Four in Atlanta.

March Madness: Oregon Ducks vs. Louisville Cardinals
Oregon vs. Louisville Location: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN
Oregon vs. Louisville Date/Time: Friday, March 29th, 7:15 p.m. ET
March Madness Television Coverage: CBS

Key #1: Dominic Artis has to get healthy
We’re starting to wonder if Artis really is ever going to be healthy this year for the Ducks. He hasn’t truly been a major factor in games, especially down the stretch ever since going out with an ankle injury at the outset of the Pac-12 season. Now, he is going to be in the thick of the fight against one of the most talented backcourts in the country. The Ducks have been fortunate to get good contributions from G Johnathan Loyd over the course of the middle of the Pac-12 campaign, and Loyd played well during the Pac-12 Tournament as well. However, he has only scored a total of 14 points and has a total of nine assists against nine turnovers here in the dance thus far, and that isn’t going to cut it. Either Loyd has to be a whole heck of a lot better, or Artis has to prove that he can be on the court and be productive with the game on the line, or the Ducks are in a lot of trouble.

Key #2: Gorgui Dieng has to go back to being a dominating star
All of a sudden over the course of these last few games, Dieng has sort of disappeared in the Louisville rotation. He only has a total of 20 points and 10 rebounds in two games here in the NCAA Tournament, and he just isn’t getting the shot opportunities in the paint that he is used to getting. Part of Dieng’s game is getting the ball in the paint and dominating. We know that here in the dance, those opportunities are going to be fewer and farther between, especially with the way that the three-point shots get jacked up on both sides of the court. However, Dieng is still the one man that few can match up with in this entire country. He had a tough draw against Colorado State on Saturday, and he is going to have a rough one as well against F Arsalan Kazemi, who had eight points and 16 boards in the third round against a very tough Saint Louis outfit. However, Head Coach Rick Pitino cannot lose sight of the fact that he has as talented of a big man as there is in the country, and Dieng needs to be a big part of the game plan to win this one.

Key #3: The Ducks have to capitalize on their trips to the line
Just getting to the charity stripe is a tough task when you’re playing a team like Louisville. However, in the third round on Saturday, the Cardinals committed a total of 24 fouls in spite of the fact that the game was largely a blowout, especially in the second half. As a result, Colorado State went to the free throw line 21 times. Oregon has generally had a degree of success at the stripe over the course of the season, knocking down right around 71% of its chances. However, here in the NCAA Tournament, the Ducks are shooting just 64.9% from the foul line. Oregon isn’t going to be able to keep up the torrid pace that it is shooting three-pointers at right now (48.5% for the tourney), but what it can control is the way that it is shooting foul shots. There is no doubt that this is a team that is going to need to put together every point that it can possibly find. Leaving too many points on the board will certainly result in disaster against a team that it is tough enough to score on in the first place.
