The (10-3) SU, (9-4) ATS Alabama Birmingham Blazers took down Middle Tennessee 27-25 as 1′ point road UNDERDOGS ATS for the Conference USA title.

It’s quite a feat for a program that dropped football after the 2014 season before deciding to bring it back in 2017 and a year later they’re Conference Champions. Head Coach Bill Clark is responsible for the only ten win season in school history.

  • OVER bettors have made a profit in 4 of UAB last five overall.
  • The Balzers are 6-2 ATS their last eight following an SU win.
  • The UNDER is 7-2 the Blazers last nine vs. Teams with a winning SU record.
  • Alabama Birmingham is 8-3 ATS their last eleven overall.

The (8-5) SU, (7-6) ATS Northern Illinois Huskies took down the Buffalo Bulls 30-29 in the MAC Championship game as 3 point UNDERDOGS ATS on a neutral field. Northern Illinois trailed 29-10 in the 3rd quarter when they decided to buckle down on both sides of the Football.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Marcus Childress proved he’s capable of producing in clutch moments which is something to build on for next season.

  • Northern Illinois is 4-2 ATS their last six overall.
  • The UNDER is 7-3 Northern Illinois last ten out of Conference games.
  • UNDER bettors have made a profit in 6 of Northern Illinois last nine overall.
  • The Huskies are 0-5 AGAINST THE POINT SPREAD their last five Bowl games.

Kickoff will be Tuesday, December 19, 2018, at 7:00 PM EST at Florida Atlantic Football Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida. The ESPN Television Network will be broadcasting.

The Opening Betting Line has Northern Illinois as 2′ point UNDERDOGS ATS at a neutral site. The TOTAL is 42′ Points for Tuesday’s contest.

Make no mistake most University of Alabama Birmingham players didn’t receive scholarship offers from the institute located in Tuscaloosa, but they’ve put together something special in 20018.

They’ll face a team Tuesday in the Sunshine State that plays a similar style which is running the football and playing hard-nosed defense. Offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent is in charge of a unit that ran the football 587 times for a (208.9) yards per game which ranked 2nd in Conference USA.

Sophomore running back Spencer Brown (1,149) rushing yards with a (4.7) yard per attempt average and he’ll get plenty of chances to showcase his talent tonight. However, Brown gives the credit of his offensive line which has four senior starters; all received first or second all-conference honors this season. The coaching staff has also been preaching to the team the loss to Ohio University in the 2017 Bahamas bowl;

they’ll have a chance for revenge against the MAC. UAB players also understand they’ll be facing a Northern Illinois defense that allows just (2.7) yards per attempt and (109.7) yards per game on the ground.

A key for UAB to get a victory is to eliminate mistakes and get pressure on the opposing quarterback.

Bovada.Lv list UAB at 7′ total wins for the win the 2018 season.

The Northern Illinois coaching staff may want to let Marcus Childress throw the ball a lot as he showed he’s capable.
Northern Illinois Head Coach Rod Carey wants to bring a bowl trophy back to DeKalb, Illinois in the worst way. The Huskies have lost five straight bowl games with four of them in blowout fashion. That’s why he’s treating this as a business trip and players seem to be responding with competitive practice sessions.

Northern Illinois went on the road to beat BYU 7-6 this season; they also performed admirably against Utah, Florida State, and Iowa.

The Huskies offense won’t scare anybody as they put up an average of (20.7) ppg which seems obsolete with the high powered offenses in today’s College Football landscape. They prefer to run the football and play defense, but something has to give with both teams having similar philosophies.

Running back Tre Harbison (985) yards on the ground should go over 1,000 tonight and is one of three players who’ll get touches in the rushing attack.

The coaching staff knows they’ll face a stingy UAB defense which is why they must trust Childress along trio wideouts with experience led by DJ Brown (55) pass receptions.

NIU led the nation with (50) quarterback sacks, but they’ll be more focused on the run.

Northern Illinois can’t get conservative; Carey and the coaching staff must trust the quarterback to bring the school their first bowl win in five seasons. All or nothing for Northern Illinois!

Bovada.Lv list Northern Illinois at 6′ total wins for the win the 2018 season.

Florida Atlantic Owls @ Marshall Thundering Herd 2018 College Football Week-8, C-USA East Division Betting preview for Saturday, October 20th.

Written by NCAA Football ATS Analyst Bobby Wallace.

We’re always providing BETTOR Friendly cards. Our signature 500* pick premium ATS Predictions are unreal & I promise you won’t regret purchasing, cash in Daily.
The (3-3) SU, 1-5 ATS Florida Atlantic Owls are coming off of a bye week after beating Old Dominion 52-33 on October 6th as a 13 and a half home favorite ATS. It’s been a tale of two different teams as the Owls are 0-3 SU/ATS on the road and last week got their first POINT SPREAD home cover this season. After taking Conference by storm last season Florida Atlantic have had their share of problems in 2018. Replacing Jason Driskell who decided to quit football was the top priority and Charlie Weis, Jr is the new offensive coordinator after Kendal Briles left the program.

  • FAU is 1-4 ATS their last five on the road and 1-5 vs. The POINT SPREAD their previous six overall.
  • OVER bettors have cashed in 6 of the Owls last eight away from home.
  • The UNDER is 4-1 the previous five between the teams.
  • The OVER is 4-0 Florida Atlantic last four after giving up more than 450 yards total offense the previous game.

The (4-2) SU, 2-4 ATS Marshall Thundering Herd are on the opposite end of the spectrum as they’re looking for their first home win in 2018 against an FBS opponent. Marshall beat FCS opponent Eastern Kentucky in the season opener but have losses to North Carolina State and Middle Tennessee. Just like FAU, Marshall feasted on Old Dominion last week 52-20 getting the ATS cover as a 3 and a half point road FAVORITE. It’s crucial for both teams to come away victorious as they look to keep pace with first-place Middle Tennessee.

  • Marshall is 0-6 ATS the last six on their home turf.
  • The Thundering Herd is 0-4 to the POINT SPREAD their last four after an ATS cover.
  • Marshall is 1-4 ATS their last five games after gaining more than 450 total yards of offense their previous game.
  • OVER bettors have cashed in with Marshall three of their last four games

Saturday’s game is at 2:00 PM EST at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia. Local Television Networks will be broadcasting.

The Opening Betting Line has Florida Atlantic as a three-point road FAVORITE ATS. The TOTAL is sixty-two and a half points for Saturday’s contest.

Lane Kiffin did such an excellent job his first season on the sideline the school decided to sign him to a long-term contract. How long he’ll stay in Boca Raton is a mystery, but maybe he’s found a comfort zone at the mid-major level. The line is moving in favor of FAU as the betting public found out Marshall quarterback Isaiah Green could miss his second consecutive game. However, backup Alex Thomson threw for 182 yards with a touchdown and an interception in last weeks win.

Since taking over as the starting signal caller, Chris Robison has completed 115 of 178 pass attempts for 1,416 yards through the air with seven touchdowns. The redshirt freshman has also thrown six interceptions. Florida Atlantic has one of the best running backs in College football, Devin Singletary has 627 yards on the ground.

The Owls defense has gotten carved up against offensive juggernauts Oklahoma and Central Florida, but they should be able to hold their own against Marshall.

A key to a Florida Atlantic win is to avoid turnovers, Singletary won’t catch the Marshall defense off guard. It’ll be up to Robison to make accurate throws in the passing game.

Bovada.Lv, list the Florida Atlantic Owls at +350 to win the 2018 Conference-ESA East Division Championship.

Marshall Thundering Herd head coach Doc Holliday enters his ninth season and also has new coordinators on both sides of the football. Preseason experts believed Marshall would challenge Florida Atlantic for the Conference-USA East division title; it’s been Middle Tennessee who’s the team to beat. The graduation of 2017 quarterback Chase Litton provided the coaching staff with an exciting battle in spring football. The question of who would be getting the football to Tyre Brady (530) receiving yards got answered with Green beating out Thomson. Green has missed the last two games, but they feel comfortable with Thomson under center.

Marshall was known as a passing team a few seasons ago, Holliday had a sense for defense and decided to concentrate on what he knows best.

The Marshall defense is led by defensive tackle Ryan Bee linebackers Chase Hancock, and Juwon Young, along with safety Malik Gant. All three will have a chance to play at the next level according to draft experts.

Marshall must stop the Florida Atlantic rushing attack to come away victorious.

Bovada.Lv, list the Marshall Thundering Herd at +425 to win the 2018 C-USA East Crown.

Free NCAA Football ATS Picks: Wyoming Cowboys at Utah State Aggies.

Written and authored by College Football Expert Analyst Bobby Wallace. Charliessports.com produces it for Football Betting news and notes.NCAA Football Premium Picks have been winning at an 78.7% rate and will continue through the 2016 BCS Title game in January 2016.

The (1-7) Wyoming Cowboys of the Mountain West Conference Mountain Division will be in the “BEEHIVE STATE” for a Divisional matchup. Wyoming will take on the (4-3) Utah State Aggies also of the MWC Mountain in 2015 College Football action. The teams will play at Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah. Kickoff time is at 10:15 PM EST. The game is on Friday, October, 30th 2015. The Best Sports Handicapper believes the Wyoming Cowboys are playing their fourth road game in the past five weeks. To make matters worse the take on an Angry Utah State squad. The Utah State Aggies coaching staff is looking for consistency on both sides of the football. The Opening betting line has Wyoming as a twenty-seven-point Road Underdog Against The Spread. The Betting Odds total is 49-points for Friday’s game.

The 2015 Wyoming Cowboys have not been competitive this season. Head Coach Craig Bohl is in his second season on the sidelines in Laramie, Wyoming. Long gone are the Joe Tiller days, and the alumni hoped a young and energetic Bohl would be the answer to make the program competitive. It has been tough going this season, after posting a 4-8 record last year. Wyoming hit rock bottom on September 12th with a 49-28 home loss to Eastern Michigan. The coaching staff has had five days to prepare for Utah State. The Cowboys lost last Saturday by twenty points at Boise State, a team that lost badly to the Aggies. Senior signal caller Cameron Coffman is doubtful for the Friday Night Showcase with a shoulder injury. Coffman was in a groove before the injury, completing over 65% of his passes. Thier number-one receiver is also out and will not return for a couple more weeks. The Cowboys defense has been suspect all year. Th key to a Wyoming victory is for the offense to get first downs and keep the defense off of the field.

Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton is questionable for Fridays matchup. A little over a week ago the Utah State Aggies football team was riding high after a blowout win over MWC perennial power Boise State. It all came crashing down last Friday Night in a bad road loss to San Diego State. Head Coach Matt Wells is looking for a consistent effort each week from his football squad. A home game against a less than average Wyoming team could be the remedy. The usually robust Aggies defense made San Diego State running back Donnell Pumphrey look like a Heisman Trophy winner, allowing 185 yards on 23 carries and backup Chase Price accounted for 79 yards. Utah State also had four turnovers in the loss. Backup signal caller Kent Myers took a lot of hard hits in the loss but seemed to get up nearly every time. The Utah State defense must control the line of scrimmage Friday Night.

Wyoming is 0-4 Against The Spread their last four vs. Utah State.

The Betting Odds Over the total are 5-0 Utah State last five Football games overall.

College Football Betting Picks: Duke Blue Devils at Tulane Green Wave.

Written and authored by NCAA Football Expert Analyst Greg Nelson. Charliessports.com produces it for College Football news and notes.

The (0-0) Duke Blue Devils of the ACC Coastal Division will travel to the “BIG EASY” for their season opener. Duke will play the (0-0) Tulane Green Wave of the American Athletic Conference West Division in 2015 NCAA football action. Duke is no longer considered a Basketball only institute thanks to head coach David Cutcliffe. The Blue Devils are seeking their fourth consecutive postseason birth. The Tulane Athletic department is all in with the football program. Tulane begins its second season playing in the $73 million Yulman Stadium on campus. The Green Wave only produced three victories last season, but third-year head coach Curtis Johnson is optimistic for 2015. The opening betting line has Duke as a seven and a half points Road Favorite Against The Spread. The betting odds total is 48-points for Thursday’s game. Read more on our Charlotte at Georgia State week-one write-up.

The 2015 Duke Blue Devils lost two very good linemen from last season. Cutcliffe believes everything starts up front. This season’s offensive line could be better than 2014. Offensive Coordinator Scottie Montgomery will have a solid rushing attack and quarterback Thomas Sirk is ready to excel. The Junior signal caller takes over for Anthony Boone, and all indications are the team will not miss a beat. Duke University is known for academics, and the football team won’t make too many mistakes. Fan don’t have to worry about Sirk and his ability to throw the football; he’s got it all say’s Cutcliffe. The Blue Devils also has a very talented secondary on defense, but are suspect in the front-seven. Make no mistake they are not Florida State or Clemson up front, but they are beginning to attract four and five-star talents. It will be difficult for Tulane to throw the football on Thursday. The Blue Devils play their next four games at home. A win at Tulane and home vs. North Carolina Central are near certain. Northwestern, Georgia Tech, and Boston College visit Durham in consecutive weeks. Look for Cutcliffe to use the game at Tulane to allow Sirk to find his rhythm and gain confidence going forward. Sirk is a hard worker, and his progress could be the difference between a good season and a great one.

The 2015 Tulane Green Wave are ready to kick off the season. Johnson has his team enthusiastic about the home opener, and nothing short of a win will be acceptable. Something every College Football coach preaches this time of the season. Talking about it is one thing, but going out on the field and producing is another. The past week everything has been about the 10-year anniversary of “HURRICANE KATRINA” which devastated the City of New Orleans. The Green Wave must use the exposure to their advantage. Come out and win one for the people of the Gulf Coast. Sophomore Quarterback Tanner Lee has impressed the coaching staff and looks to have ab big game on Thursday. It will be hot at kickoff, and the Green Wave offense has to wear the Duke defense down by running the football. Pound the football first is what the Tulane offense is going to do. Sophomore running back Sherman Badie is capable or producing yards between the tackles as well as on the edges. Tulane should have an advantage playing at home and if they can keep the Duke defense on their toes they have a chance for the victory as a home underdog.

College Football Expert ATS Picks, and Odds: 2015 Virginia Cavaliers Football Preview.

Written and authored by NCAA Football Expert Analyst Charlie Red McDougall. Charliessports.com produces it for NCAA Football news and notes.

Head Coach Mike London enters his sixth season at “UVA” with a 23-38 record. Twelve starters from last season’s squad are returning. Virgina went 5-7 in 2014, 3-5 in Atlantic Coast Conference action. The Cavaliers play in the Coastal Division of the ACC. Virgina has not been in a bowl game since the 2011 season, and London must turn the corner in 2015. The Cavaliers have an awesome recruiting base, especially in the Norfolk-Hampton Roads area. Virginia Tech has been the elite program in the “MOTHER OF STATES”. The Virginia Cavaliers plays home games at the 61,500 seat Scott Stadium on campus in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Five starters return to the Virginia offense, which lacked explosiveness last season. Offensive Coordinator Steve Fairchild has a reason for optimism. London brought in former Wisconsin assistant Chris Beatty to work with the running backs. 2014 starting Quarterback Greyson Lambert (1,632) passing yards was demoted in favor of the mobile Matt Johns. Former North Carolina State speedster T.J. Thorpe adds speed to the wide receiver position. Running back Taquan Mizzell will be the featured in the rushing game. The Cavaliers are set on the offensive line. The Virginia Cavaliers went 7-4-1 on NCAA Football Betting Predictions last season, going over the betting odds total four times and staying under the betting odds total eight times.
*The “UVA” offense ranked 90th in offense last season, with 374.2 yards per contest.
*The Cavaliers were 5-1-1 Against The Number at Scott Stadium.
*Virginia went 2-3 Against The Spread on the road.
*The betting odds total went 2-5 at home in 2014.
*Virginia went over the betting odds twice on the road.
*The Cavaliers stayed under the betting odds total three times away from Charlottesville.
*The Virginia passing ranked 58th in the nation, averaging 236.4 yards per game through the air.
*Virginia scored an average of 25.8 ppg, 88th in the FBS.
*The Cavaliers ground game averaged 137.8 yards per contest running the football, 100th in the NCAA football landscape.

The Cavaliers defense must replace the entire group of linebackers from last season, including two NFL draft picks. The defensive line is the strength of the unit. Senior defensive end Mike Moore, along with run stopper David Dean will anchor the group. Tackles Donte Wilkins and Andrew Brown round out the D-line. The defensive backfield has two experienced players at the cornerback position. Sophomore safety Quin Blanding has star written all over him and will be the leader of the secondary. If defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta finds athletic linebackers in fall camp, the Virginia defense will be very good against the run and pass.
*The UVA defense was 29th in the FBS last season, giving up 353.2 yards per game.
*The Cavaliers pass defense allowed 232.5 yards per contest through the air, 74th in the NCAA football landscape.
*Virginia opponents put up an average of 24.2 ppg, 33rd nationally.
*The Cavaliers run defense gave up 120.7 yards per game on the ground, 18th in all of College Football.
*Virgina has a very tough non-conference schedule in 2015. The Cavaliers start the season at UCLA, host Notre Dame in the second game, and Boise State visits Charlottesville the last week of September.
*The Cavaliers end the season with ACC opponents Duke and Virginia Tech invading Scott Stadium.
Bovada lists the Virginia Cavaliers at over/under four and a half wins in 2015.

Written and authored by NCAA Football Expert Analyst Al Presto. Charliessports.com produces it for NCAA Football news and notes.

The 2015 Central Michigan Football team returns ten starters from a team that went 7-6 in 2014. New head coach John Bonamego will follow a long line of a successful coaching tree.

The Central Michigan Chippewas plays home games at the 33,000 seat Kelly/Shorts Stadium on campus in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.

Second-year offensive coordinator Morris Watts has a prolific passer under center again this season. Junior quarterback Cooper Rush (3,149) passing yards in 2014 is ready to has another stellar season. Jesse Kroll returns as the most dependable receiver. Kroll doesn’t have break away speed or athletic ability but is a possession receiver. Running Backs Saylor Lavallii and Devon Spalding must replace the departed Thomas Rawls. The Chippewas have a long history of productive offensive lineman. Three starters are back, including four-year starting center Nick Beamish. Central Michigan should be able to put points on the board this season.

The secondary is solid with safety Tony Annese and cornerback Brandon Greer. There is talent of the defense and first-year coordinator Greg Colby must put it together.

Free NCAA Football Expert Picks and, Betting Odds: 2015 UNLV Rebles Football Preview.

Written and authored by NCAA Football Expert Analyst Al Presto. Charliessports.com produces it for NCAA Football news and notes.

The 2015 Nevada Las Vegas Football program is under construction. Tony Sanchez, a former high school coach at powerhouse Bishop Gorman in the Las Vegas area, will try to make the Rebels prominent. The Rebels went 2-11 last season, 1-7 in the MWC West division. There is excitement in “SIN CITY” over the hiring, the athletic department believes the program can be just as good as basketball. Wishful thinking, the Rebels have been cellar dwellers eight of the past eleven seasons. The UNLV Rebels play home games at the 36,000 seat Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The good news is there are seven starters returning of offense. Senior signal caller Blake Decker (2,881) yards in 2014, was impressive in the spring game throwing for three touchdowns. Decker has to cut down on turnovers in 2015; he threw 18 interceptions last season. There are question marks on the offensive line with the departure of three starters. The Rebels are set at the Wide Receiver position with Devonte Boyd (980) yards in catches and Kendal Keys. Junior running back Keith Whitely will have competition in fall camp by two incoming freshmen. The Rebels have talent at the skill positions, but the coaching staff has to find a way to protect the quarterback. The Nevada Las Vegas Rebels went 5-8 on Football Betting Predictions last season, going over the betting odds total seven times and staying under the betting odds total six.
*UNLV ranked 81st in the land with an average of 387.0 yards of offense per contest.
*The Rebels were 1-5 Against The Point Spead at home last season.
*UNLV went 4-3 Against The Spread on the road.
*The betting odds over total came in three times at Sam Boyd Stadium last season.
*UNLV went over the betting odds total four times away from “LOST WAGES”.
*The Rebels stayed under the betting odds total three times on the road last season.
*The passing attack put up 257.8 yards per game, 44th in the FBS.
*Nevada Las Vegas scored an average of 21.9 ppg, 107th in the NCAA Football landscape.
*The 129.2 yards per contest running the football was 105th in the FBS.

This is the side of the football where the team has been inefficient. New offensive coordinator Barney Cotton must take chances and dial up blitzes. The strength of the defense is the return of three starting linebackers. Tau Lotulelei (99) tackles last season is the headliner. There is also talent in the secondary with returning safety Peni Vea. Two new cornerbacks looked impressive in the spring. Sonny Sanitoa leads the charge on the defensive line, but he needs help.
*The UNLV defense was terrible last season, allowing opponents 513.5 yards per contest last season, 125th in the land.
*UNLV surrendered 219.6 yards per game through the air, 51st in the FBS.
*The 38.5 ppg allowed by Nevada-Las Vegas was 116th in NCAA Football.
*The run defense was “POOR” at best, ranking 126th nationally, giving up an average of 293.8 yards per game.
*UNLV entertains UCLA in between September road trip to Northern Illinois and Michigan.
*There are winnable Mountain West Conference home games on the schedule.

The 2015 Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles football program is trying to get back to being what it once was. Head Coach Todd Monken enters his third season with a .167 winning percentage and boosters are getting restless.

Seven starter return on the offensive side of the football. Junior Nick Mullens and TCU Tyler Matthews transfer will compete for the signal calling duties.

Free Sports Predictions and Odds: 2015 Temple Owls Football Preview.

Written and authored by NCAA Football Expert Analyst Charlie McDougall. Charliessports.com produces it for NCAA Football news and notes. The 2015 Temple Owls Football team returns seventeen starters from a team that went 6-6 in 2014. Head Coach Matt Rhule enters his third season at the Philadelphia Institute with 7-16 record. 2015 could be the season the Owls program will start to turn the corner. The Owls will be contenders for the American Athletic Conference Title. This Sports Handicapper believes the Football program will establish the same prominence as the nationally known Basketball program. Temple plays the 68,532 seas Lincoln Financial Field, also the home of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 2015 Temple Owls offense success will depend on the efficiency of starting quarterback P.J. Walker (2,317) passing yards last season.
