Premium Picks: 

Friday  (October 14th)Memphis vs Tulane

(Vegas   Memphis -10.5 )      (Game Picker  Memphis by 11.13 )

Memphis struggled early against Temple last week, but came back strong in the second half. Tulane has a very weak strength of schedule. Memphis main weakness has been their pass defense (113th). Tulane will not be able to take advantage of that weakness as they come in with their pass offense ranked (123rd). Memphis will be able to run the ball effectively on Tulane just as they did Temple to cover the spread in this one.

PARTLY CLOUDY, SOUTHEAST WIND 2-7. GAME TEMP 78, RH 59% HEAT INDEX 80


Saturday (October 15th) – Ball St vs Buffalo

(Vegas   Ball St -9.5 )      (Game Picker  Ball St by 13.99 )

Look for Ball St to run the ball early and often in this game. The Buffalo offense has been horrible this year ranking close to last in both pass and rushing offense. Ball St will have a mismatch with it’s rush offense (34th) vs Buffalo’s rush defense (126th). Buffalo also has one of the worst strength of schedules in the nation. Look for Ball St to control the tempo in this one and cover the spread.

MOSTLY SUNNY, SOUTH WIND 7-12. GAME TEMP 66, RH 46%


North Carolina vs Miami FL

(Vegas   Miami FL -6.5 )      (Game Picker  Miami FL by 13.01 )

Miami had a tough loss against Florida St last week. The Hurricanes match up well this week against North Carolina. The strength of the Tar Heels offense is their passing attack with first year QB Mitch Trubisky. Miami, however, has the 8th best pass defense in the nation. This game will come down to who ever can establish the run. Miami will be able to run the ball on North Carolina’s generous rush defense (109th). Look for Miami to cover the spread in this one.

PARTLY CLOUDY, 20% CHANCE LIGHT SHOWERS. EAST WIND 11-16. GAME TEMP 86, RH 60% HEAT INDEX 92


Texas St vs La Monroe

(Vegas    La Monroe  -6.5 )      (Game Picker   La Monroe by 7.40 )

These are both pretty poor teams but the strengths of La Monroe vs Texas St’s weaknesses will give La Monroe the advantage in this game. La Monroe is horrible at rush defense (128th). Luckily Texas St comes in with the (128th) ranked rush offense. The difference in this game will be La Monroe’s ability to move the ball thru the air (49th) vs Texas St’s pass defense (122nd). Look for La Monroe to cover the spread in this one.

MOSTLY FAIR, SOUTH WIND 4-9. GAME TEMP 84, RH 52% HEAT INDEX 86
