There is no greater time to try to get into this competition than right now, as every week you beat me gives you another opportunity at that big cash prize at the end of the year. Let's get started right now with my Week 8 picks…

Denver Broncos (+1) vs. San Francisco 49ers – Jolly ol' England is going to get to see a real lousy one this year as well. How on earth do the worst teams in the NFL continually end up going overseas for these spectacles? Anyway, the Broncos are coming off of their worst performance of the season, but no one in the Rockies is pushing the panic button. With QB Troy Smith getting the nod for San Fran instead of backup QB David Carr, not only is there a very disgruntled man sitting on the sidelines, but it is clear that HC Mike Singletary is making this move in hopes of saving his job. It won't work. Going with the Broncos +1 as short underdogs.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Dallas Cowboys (-6.5) – I'm really tired of getting burned by the Cowboys every single week, but I'm backing Dallas -6.5 once again. The Cowboys might have just gotten the shot in the arm that they needed when QB Tony Romo went down on Monday Night Football. One of two things is going to happen. Either the team is really going to rally around QB Jon Kitna and start to come together, or all hell will break loose and the season will be over. I already know which direction Jacksonville is heading in… All I need to do is look at the box score from last week's 42-20 embarrassment at the Kansas City Chiefs to tell that…

Washington Redskins (+2.5) @ Detroit Lions – Yeah, yeah, I hear ya. The Redskins have already lost at the St. Louis Rams this year, the Lions are coming off of a bye week, they're getting their starting quarterback back in the lineup for the first time since the opening weekend of the season, and they have the best ATS record in the game. Easy pick for the hosts, right? However, have you ever heard of such a thing as a play being so sharp that it's square? It's too easy to go with Detroit. The oddsmakers had no choice but to react to all of these recent covers for the men from Motown. Could the Lions win this game? Sure. Are they truthfully on a level playing field with the Redskins, as is implied by this line? Heck no. My choice is easy. Washington +2.5

Green Bay Packers @ New York Jets (-5.5) – I sort of feel like I'm being tricked into taking the Jets -5.5 on Sunday afternoon, but there are just too many things going for New York and too many going against Green Bay for me to ignore. The Packers just played their most emotional game of the season last week against the Minnesota Vikings, and they are going to need a significantly bigger effort to get past the Jets in New Meadowlands Stadium. The Jets are coming off of their bye week and have seemingly found an offense for the first time in the HC Rex Ryan era. I really don't feel like I have that much of a choice here.

Carolina Panthers @ St. Louis Rams (-3) – Does anyone have a rusty fork available for me to poke my eyes out with? Geez, does this game smell about as appealing as a baby's diaper after four hours… The Panthers might have a win now, but just because QB Matt Moore threw for 300+ yards last week doesn't make him a hero. The Rams are still playing good ball at home this year, and they'll come up with yet another victory. Things would have felt a lot different for the hosts if they were 4-2, and that's exactly what would've happened had they stopped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the goal line last week in the fourth quarter. I'm sticking with St. Louis -3.

Miami Dolphins @ Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5) – It seems like this would be a tremendously easy game to pick, especially if you believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers are really one of the best teams in the NFL. The Fins just played a great game against Pittsburgh and nearly pulled off the outright victory. They're also a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS on the road this year, going into Cincinnati, where the Bengals are one of the most disappointing teams in the league. However, the Bengals have already beaten the Baltimore Ravens this year at home, and they might be able to add Miami's scalp to that list this weekend. So I fooled you! You thought I was going with Miami… Wrongo! Cincinnati -1.5

Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5) – Just for the record, I don't think that there has been a single game this year in which I've picked the Bills… and I'm not so sure if that's going to change any time in the near future. I said at the outset of the year that this was the worst team that the NFL has seen in years, including that winless Detroit Lions team from 2008, and I'm sticking by that. Buffalo is a joke, and that joke was so funny last week that the Baltimore Ravens were nearly laughing too hard and forgot about destroying the punch line. The Chiefs aren't going to screw around like Baltimore did. Kansas City -7.5 for me, without a doubt.

Tennessee Titans @ San Diego Chargers (-3.5) – Here's another game that I could really live without. The Bolts are in just about the same type of hot water that the Dallas Cowboys are in right now, but at least they have something positive to build on after nearly coming all the way back to beat the New England Patriots last weekend. Tennessee is the most overrated bunch in the league, and at some point, it will come back to earth. That might start this weekend even though it doesn't seem like San Diego can beat anyone right now. I'm backing the Bolts -3.5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Arizona Cardinals (-3) – The vintage Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde team in the NFL is Arizona. The Cards simply can't play a game on the road to save their lives, but put them back at home, and all bets are off. Tampa Bay just put together an emotional road win to stay alive in the playoff race, but let's be real here for a second. The New Orleans Saints just lost to these Redbirds by ten a few weeks back. That same team in black and gold won in Tampa Bay by a whole boatload of points the very next week. No way, Tampa Bay. The Bucs stop here. Arizona -3

Seattle Seahawks @ Oakland Raiders (-1.5) – Speaking of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde teams… Does anyone else think that the Seahawks are genuinely going to be able to win road games all season long? Look, QB Jason Campbell isn't going to complete just 40 some odd percent of his passes like QB Jay Cutler did two weeks ago in the Windy City. The Raiders are coming off of a fantastic game against the Denver Broncos in which they set a franchise record for points scored. In the Black Hole, I'll go with the hosts and take Oakland -1.5.

Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots (-6) – I don't care if you put Brett Favre, Joe Montana, YA Tittle, or Gus Frerotte after banging his head up against the wall under center this weekend… WR Randy Moss isn't going to do a thing against the Pats, as you know that the evil mastermind, HC Bill Belichick has been scheming for this game and this particular matchup since the day that the Pats sent good ol' Randy out of town. It's been awhile since I've heard a "Love Boat" reference to Minnesota, but the Vikes definitely have a ship that is sinking right now. New England -6

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New Orleans Saints (+1) – Remember to make your tiebreaker picks in this game!!! This is one of the toughest games that I've had to make a call on in recent years, and I'm still not totally sure that I wouldn't want to flip flop my pick a number of times from now through the kickoff of this one. I tend to think that RB Reggie Bush coming back into the lineup will at least put enough fear in a potentially harmed Pittsburgh defense to give the Saints the upper hand. But the bottom line that I have right now is that the Steelers are going to lose eventually, while New Orleans as an underdog at home is just ridiculous. The Bayou will be rockin' on Saturday night, and I'm going with New Orleans +1.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for NFL Week 8 for pro football betting action!

Underdog Pick #1: Denver Broncos (+110 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. San Francisco 49ers, Sunday, 1:00 ET: Give us a break. C'mon, the 49ers are playing with a third string quarterback making his first start in years. The Broncos are significantly better than the 2-5 record that they are sporting right now, though last week's 59-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders sort of begs to differ about that. Every team has a dud every now and again, and for Denver, last week was it. The short passing game is a great strategy to try to beat a San Fran defense that has been the best part of the team to date. Some of the best running backs in the NFL have absolutely been crushed by this Denver 'D' this year. Don't let that big performance last week by RB Darren McFadden fool you. It'll be tough sledding for RB Frank Gore, and we bet that the speed of the defense will be able to keep QB Troy Smith in the pocket, which will take away his legs. Parlay that with the ability to just let their corners stick one on one with receivers, and the Broncos could be in for a fine showing in Jolly Ol' England.

Underdog Pick #2: Jacksonville Jaguars (+240 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Dallas Cowboys, Sunday 1:00 ET: This NFL underdog pick is simply based off the fact that there is a good chance that the Cowboys just hit the self-destruct button and forget about the rest of this nightmare of a season. There's no reason that a team that is 1-5 and has looked like you know what all season should be laying 6.5 points, even against a Jacksonville team that has really shown very little this year. QB David Garrard should be back in the saddle once again, and he has already directed a win against the Indianapolis Colts this season. Don't be overly shocked if this is yet another "upset" in what might be the last week you see the Cowboys getting this type of respect on the NFL lines.

Underdog Pick #3: Buffalo Bills (+280 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 1:00 ET: Ah yes… the upset that would blow up virtually every Survivor Pool in the country… The Bills nearly did that last week at the Baltimore Ravens, pushing one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl to overtime before finally succumbing. Look, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't the second coming of QB Jim Kelly, but he is certainly playing better ball right now than recent QB rejects like QB JP Losman and QB Trent Edwards ever did. Buffalo has to win a game at some point… right…? The Chiefs are due to be coming back to earth at any moment now, and we think that this is the perfect combination of a great time for a good game from Buffalo parlayed with a perfect letdown spot for Kansas City.

Join us at Cappers Info, as we make our World Series picks for Game 4 of the Fall Classic between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers.

Matchup: San Francisco Giants @ Texas Rangers Game 4
Date: Sunday, October 31st, 7:57 ET
Location: Ballpark in Arlington, Arlington, TX
Game Line: Texas -135
Over/Under 9 (o+105)

Giants Notes: The Giants picked a particularly poor time to go flat in Game 3 of the World Series. After exploding both in Games 1 and 2 of the Fall Classic, the bats just simply failed San Fran in Game 3. No man in the lineup mustered more than just one hit on the day, and only five hits were recorded in total. The only two runs of the game came courtesy of solo homers, one by OF Cody Ross and one by OF Andres Torres. OF Pat Burrell was particularly awful, going 0-for-4 for four strikeouts. Burrell is now 0-for-9 in this series and has eight strikeouts. It was a poor outing on Saturday for LHP Jonathan Sanchez as well, as he gave up four runs and six hits in 4.2 innings in the worst start of his postseason. Now, it will be up to another lefty, LHP Madison Bumgarner to right the ship in this very crucial Game 4. Bumgarner, a rookie, has pitched extremely well in the postseason. He earned the 'W' in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves in the close out game of the series, and though his Game 4 start against the Philadelphia Phillies was nothing to write home about, he did pitch two scoreless innings in relief to help nail down the final game of that series as well. Bumgarner can't end the World Series on Sunday night, but what he can do is put the Rangers in a world of hurt. This lefty was absolutely phenomenal on the road this season, going 6-3 with an amazing 1.91 ERA. Batters also only hit .250 against him away from Candlestick Park this year.

Rangers Notes: Texas knew that it really needed to come up with a grand showing in its first ever World Series game at home, and that's exactly what it came up with. It was the first game in this series in which the bullpen was spotless, throwing 1.1 innings of shutout ball, and it was also the first time that the team was able to really play from ahead for an extended period of time. The offensive firepower came from a very unlikely source though, as 1B Mitch Moreland knocked a three run dinger in the second inning to get the scoring started. OF Josh Hamilton also went yard in the fifth to open up the lead to 4-0. Both SS Elvis Andrus and 3B Michael Young had a pair of singles on the day. RHP Colby Lewis did the rest. Lewis picked a great time to arguably come up with the start of his life. He pitched 7.2 strong innings of work, giving up two solo homers and three other hits on the day to notch his first ever World Series 'W'. The temptation to start LHP Cliff Lee has to have been there at least for a little bit in the back of manager Ron Washington's mind, especially knowing that he could turn around and pitch Game 7 as well if need be, but knowing that he is going to be able to use his best bullet in the gun in Game 5 and will be guaranteed the chance to use him in this series at least once more made the decision a lot easier. RHP Tommy Hunter hasn't been the greatest pitcher in this postseason, but the one thing that he is certainly traditionally able to do well is pitch at home. Arlington has treated Hunter very well, as he went 7-0 with a 3.06 ERA this year there in 11 starts and one brief relief appearance at the end of the regular season. Hunter does have a 6.14 ERA this year in the playoffs in two starts, but all that Washington is asking him to do on this night is to keep the Rangers in the game, and hope that the bats and extended bullpen will be able to do everything else.

The Final Word: This is a really short line on a team that has played very well at home and has a renewed sense of confidence about it after the Game 3 victory. At some point, the Rangers are going to start hitting again with runners in scoring position, and if that happens, there is a good chance that Bumgarner could get chased early. We'll take our chances on the home prowess of Hunter even though he hasn't pitched all that well in the postseason.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for the Week 9 of college football betting action!

Underdog Pick #1: Louisville Cardinals (+320 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Pittsburgh Panthers, Saturday, 12:00 ET: The Big East has had so many twists and turns this season… Why the heck not! Remember the name RB Bilal Powell. You might not know this senior running back's name, but perhaps you should. This was supposed to be a passing spread attack this year, but thanks to how well Powell has toted the rock in recent weeks, he is suddenly getting the call on what feels like the majority of plays. Powell has rumbled the rock 90 times in his last four games for a stunning 675 yards in the process, and he is the big reason that the Cards are finding themselves above .500 seven games into the season. Many think that Louisville has no chance playing on the road, but it already has a win this year at the Arkansas State Red Wolves and a great challenge at the Oregon State Beavers at Reser Stadium in which they pushed one of the best teams in the Pac-10 to the brink. The Panthers have struggled at times, and just like everyone else in the Big East, they aren't that good. The upset is a distinct possibility.

Underdog Pick #2: Tulsa Golden Hurricane (+260 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Saturday 2:30 ET: The Fighting Irish really might not have enough offensive weapons available in this game to keep up with Tulsa. We already know that both TE Kyle Rudolph and WR Theo Riddick aren't going to be available, which might leave QB Dayne Crist looking around wondering where he is going to throw the ball. Tulsa has had two weeks to prepare for this game, and the Irish have seen nothing like this before. The Golden Hurricane are going to snap the ball in a hurry and get moving, which could tire out a Notre Dame defense that has never gone at this tempo before. The one time it faced a quarterback like QB GJ Kinne, QB Denard Robinson made himself a Heisman Trophy candidate. This is a great number on a solid team in Conference USA, and we are perfectly content to say that the Golden Hurricane will win this game at least one out of three times to make this incredibly worthwhile.

Underdog Pick #3: Florida Gators (+110 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Georgia Bulldogs, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Really, how much of an "upset" is it when the better team wins a neutral site game that always feels like a home game each and every season? Look, we know that the Gators have lost three straight games, and we have even suggested playing against them in those outings. However, they still have a fantastic defense with a ton of pro prospects and have had two weeks to prepare for this one. UF still knows that the SEC East is up for grabs, and winning its last four in conference will win the division and send the orange and blue to the SEC Championship Game. This has been a two week period full of soul searching for an offense that either needs an overhaul or a new scheme. However, on the other side of the ball, the game plan is simple. Florida needs to shut down WR AJ Green. If it does that, this should be a third straight win in the World's Largest Cocktail Party for the Gators.

Underdog Pick #4: USC Trojans (+200 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Oregon Ducks, Saturday, 8:00 ET: Be very quiet! It's Duck hunting season! We realize that the Trojans don't really have a heck of a lot to play for, but there has to be a level of bulletin board material emotion going into this game for them. The Men of Troy were embarrassed last year on this very same weekend in Eugene, and the Ducks clearly ran up the score on the game's final drives for good measure. To top that off, the oddsmakers have made USC a touchdown dog at home, and the No. 1 team in the country is coming to town. There's something to be said about the whole atmosphere with ESPN's College Gameday as well. QB Matt Barkley has thrown for 20 TDs against just four picks, and if the Trojans weren't on probation, we would be talking about him for the Heisman Trophy. We know that Oregon is good and is certainly the better team on the field, but we'll take our chances with the Trojans at these types of odds.

Underdog Pick #5: Mississippi Rebels (+250 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Auburn Tigers, Saturday, 6:00 ET: It feels like we're picking against Auburn each and every week right now, but it also feels like we're backing the Rebels every week as well. There's a good reason for both. Auburn is a one man band, and though that one man, QB Cam Newton, is now the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy by a runaway margin, if anything happens to him or he gets shut down, it could be all over for the Tigers. Ole Miss knows that QB Jeremiah Masoli keeps getting better and better, and he is at the point right now in this offense that he should be succeeding against teams like this. What better head coach to have going against the No. 1 team in the country than Houston Nutt? He did it to the LSU Tigers. He did it to the Florida Gators. Now, he's going to do it to the Auburn Tigers as well. This will mark four straight weeks that the No. 1 team in the land goes down on the road.

Join us at Cappers Info, as we make our World Series picks for Game 3 of the Fall Classic between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers.

Matchup: San Francisco Giants @ Texas Rangers Game 3
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 6:57 ET
Location: Ballpark in Arlington, Arlington, TX
Game Line: Texas -145
Over/Under 8.5 (o-110)

Giants Notes: After scoring just 30 runs in the first two rounds of the postseason, the Giants have suddenly watched their bats come alive. They have plated a whopping 20 runs over the first two games of the World Series, and they have picked up runs in bunches, scoring at least three runs in three different innings over the first two games. Both 1B Aubrey Huff and SS Edgar Renteria are batting .429 to lead the G-Men in batting for this series, but 3B Juan Uribe leads the team with five RBIs. The bullpen got over a very shaky ninth inning against the Rangers on Wednesday night by coming out and throwing 1.1 of perfect baseball to shut the door on Texas in Game 2. LHP Jonathan Sanchez is going to be the man tabbed with the job of essentially putting this series away on Saturday night in the Lone Star State. The lefty will be facing Texas for the second time in his career, but his only appearance came out of the bullpen. In 2009, he got two outs without allowing a base runner and picked up the win in doing so here in Arlington. So far in the playoffs, things are going from good to bad to worse for Sanchez. He allowed just one run in 7.1 innings of work in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves, but turned around and gave up eight hits and five runs in just eight innings in two starts against the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS. Sanchez will once again be making a start on the road, where he hasn't won since September 5th and is just 0-2 in five starts since then. The good news for this lefty is that he does have 19 strikeouts in the postseason, but he had 11 of those in his first start.

Rangers Notes: The rookies to the Fall Classic, the Rangers are in a heck of a lot of trouble right now. They are in a spot where they have absolutely imploded in two straight games, and they have to come back home knowing that they probably have to win all three games just to essentially give themselves a chance of coming back to Arlington with the World Series trophy in hand in another week or so. One thing is for certain, and that's that the bullpen is absolutely going to have to get better. This unit was bad in Game 1, giving up four runs in just 3.1 innings of work, but on Thursday, things got significantly worse. A good start by LHP CJ Wilson ended with him coming out with a blister, and that's when the fun really got started for the Giants. After LHP Darren Oliver pitched a scoreless inning, the eighth was a total calamity. After getting the first two outs via strikeout, a hit, four straight walks, a single, and two extra base hits plated seven runs to cripple any chance of making a comeback. Texas has already left 25 men on base in this series and is coming off of a game in which it batted 0-for-8 as a team with runners in scoring position. Only 1B Mitch Moreland is batting better than .250 in the regular lineup in this series, and SS Elvis Andrus, 3B Michael Young, OF Josh Hamilton, OF Vladimir Guerrero, and OF Nelson Cruz combined to go just 5-for-35, a .143 batting average in San Fran. Now, RHP Colby Lewis takes the bump on Saturday night, hoping to continue his good fortunate from the ALCS. Lewis won the clinching game of the series, going eight strong innings against the best lineup in baseball, that of the New York Yankees. He allowed just one run on three hits and struck out seven, the most he has K'd in a game since September 21st.

The Final Word: The Rangers just look like a defeated team right now. The Giants have mojo and swagger, while Texas just looks like a team that has been through the mill. You know what they say about beating the defending champs… It takes everything out of you. The Tampa Bay Rays looked that way after beating the Boston Red Sox in 2008. Now the Rangers look the part after beating the Yankees this year. The heart and hustle from this squad is gone. All that's left is a beaten down team with very little confidence. Back the Giants to effectively end the World Series on Saturday.

Free World Series Picks: San Francisco Giants +135
Prediction: San Francisco 8 – Texas 2

Matchup: #15 Florida State Seminoles @ North Carolina State Wolfpack
Date: Thursday, October 28th, 7:45 ET
Location: Carter-Finley Stadium, Raleigh, NC
Game Line: Florida State -3.5
Over/Under 57

The ACC Atlantic will probably be decided on Thursday night when the 6-1 Florida State Seminoles travel to Raleigh to take on the 5-2 North Carolina State Wolfpack. Florida State is currently undefeated in ACC play with a 4-0 mark and is widely considered the best team in the conference. Two Saturdays ago against Boston College, the Seminoles had a letdown game but still managed a 24-19 victory. QB Christian Ponder struggled in the game, completing 19 of 31 passes for 170 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, but it was revealed after the game that Ponder had broken a bursa sac in his throwing arm. He will start on Thursday, but it would be prudent to monitor his condition before kickoff. As for the Wolfpack, they moved the ball at ease on East Carolina in their last game, but four turnovers negated the 476 yards of offense they put up and led to a heartbreaking 33-27 overtime loss to the Pirates. In the loss, QB Russell Wilson was erratic, completing 26 of 52 passes for 322 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. On the defensive side of the ball, NC State must improve a pass defense that allowed Dominique Davis to shred them for 376 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, both Ponder and Wilson will be vitally important to their team’s chances to win Thursday night.

Matchup: Auburn Tigers @ Mississippi Rebels
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 6:00 ET
Location: Vaught Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, MS
Game Line: Mississippi +7
Over/Under 61

The Tigers know that they are the most hunted team in America right now, and they have to go into some very hostile territory in a night game against a hungry bunch of Rebels. The great news is that QB Cam Newton is a runaway favorite to win the Heisman Trophy now, but the bad news is that he really has to put up sparkling performance after sparkling performance because the rest of his team just isn't that good. It feels like we're picking against Auburn every single week, seemingly until it fails, but this could be a trip point because this is the most dynamic offense that this team is going to see until the Iron Bowl against the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. Ole Miss has already given that Alabama team fits and has proven that it is good enough defensive to hang as well. We've also already made mention on this blog how HC Houston Nutt has the ability to take care of some of the best teams in the country, even on the road. This could be the next in line of tremendous upsets this year, and we aren't missing out on it.

Prediction: Ole Miss 27 – Auburn 20

Matchup: Oregon Ducks @ USC Trojans
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 8:00 ET
Location: Los Angeles Coliseum, Los Angeles, CA
Game Line: USC +6.5
Over/Under 71

Don't kid yourself about just how good these Trojans are. Anyone that has watched this team play this year realizes that this is a Top 10 team in terms of talent playing with the passion of a team that is ready to just get packed for the winter. How could you not get up for this one, though? The bright lights are going to be shining, as the No. 1 team in the country per the two human polls is coming to town, and with it are the glitz and glamour of ESPN Gameday. QB Matt Barkley isn't going to tolerate just getting pummeled by the Ducks, especially after last year's debacle in Eugene in which the U of O was running up the score at the end just to rub it in USC's face. HC Lane Kiffin knows that this would be his biggest coaching win ever as well. The defense is going to get trucked once again by RB LaMichael James and company. The question is whether the offense is going to put up enough points to do some serious damage or not. Barkley might need to throw five TDs to win… and he just might do it!

Matchup: Michigan Wolverines @ Penn State Nittany Lions
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 8:00 ET
Location: Beaver Stadium, University Park, PA
Game Line: Penn State +3
Over/Under 53

In a weekend in which there are a ton of upsets expected to happen, the traditional rivalry game between the Nittany Lions and the Wolverines is sort of going unnoticed. QB Denard Robinson has really only had one bad game this season, but it is that one game that has knocked him from the ranks of the Heisman Trophy race. It will be amazing to see what a 350 yard performance between rushing and passing would do once again for his stock. On the other side of the field, the Nittany Lions are in dire need of wins to make sure that, if this is the last year for HC Joe Paterno, it ends with a trip to a bowl game. The defense for PSU is one of the most underrated units in the conference and in the country, and if this unit can at least remotely keep the Michigan offense quiet, it will be a great night to be a Nittany Lion. Happy Valley loves its night games, and this shouldn't be a disappointing effort.

Matchup: Oklahoma State Cowboys @ Kansas State Wildcats
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 12:00 ET
Location: Bill Snyder Family Field, Manhattan, KS
Game Line: Kansas State +5
Over/Under 66

Had the Pokes won last weekend, we would be a lot more inclined to think that the Wildcats would be able to wake up just a tad and beat one of the top teams in the country. Now, we're not so sure, though. The Oklahoma State offense is a finely tuned machine, and the fact that WR Justin Blackmon is out of the lineup in this one isn't going to be a killer. Yes, Blackmon is the best receiver in the entire country, and yes, a DUI is going to prove to be costly, but QB Brandon Weeden has plenty of other options to throw the ball to. K-State is still a one man band with RB Daniel Thomas, if the Cowboys can just remotely contain him, the offense should prove to be good enough to score enough to win this one by at least a somewhat comfortable margin. If Okie State can score 41 on the Nebraska Cornhuskers with Blackmon, it can surely find a way to score at least in the 30s against Kansas State without him.

Matchup: Miami Hurricanes @ Virginia Cavaliers
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 12:00 ET
Location: Scott Stadium, Charlottesville, VA
Game Line: Virginia +15
Over/Under 51

The Hoos have three wins this year, but those three wins have come against the Eastern Michigan Eagles and a pair of teams from the FCS. We were fooled last week by the Canes, who came out and absolutely dominated the North Carolina Tar Heels. Now, we aren't so sure which Miami team is going to show up on Saturday. We know that the last time "The U" played on the road, it struggled mightily with the Duke Blue Devils for the full 60 minutes and only won by two scores. QB Marc Verica really isn't taking too many strides in the right direction, but we do believe that this Virginia team is good enough to get its act together and at least make this one respectable at home on Saturday afternoon, especially if the defense can find a way to put at least a tad bit of pressure on QB Jacory Harris.

Matchup: Louisville Cardinals @ Pittsburgh Panthers
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 12:00 ET
Location: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA
Game Line: Pittsburgh -10
Over/Under 56

We've already talked about just how good RB Bilal Powell is turning out to be, as he is probably the best back in the Big East. We have totally forgotten about the Panthers, as they are probably the best of the worst in a very questionable conference. However, we just aren't so sure that QB Tino Sunseri and the U-Pitt offense are good enough to keep up with Powell and the gang, especially if the Redbirds keep pushing like this. The Panthers have proven nothing quite yet, and though this one won't necessarily showcase anything one way or the other, we do tend to believe that Louisville is taking one giant step towards a bowl game in HC Charlie Strong's first season on the job.

Matchup: Northwestern Wildcats @ Indiana Hoosiers
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 12:00 ET
Location: Memorial Stadium, Bloomington, IN
Game Line: Indiana +3.5
Over/Under 58.5

It's hard to think that this could be one of the best games of the day. Both of these teams love running up and down the field, and neither one can really play defense that well when push comes to shove. Indiana's QB Ben Chappell could be in for a huge day against his instate rivals, and if that's the case, the Hoosiers are going to be tough to beat. There's something about the way that the Wildcats lost last week to the Michigan State Spartans that scares the wits out of us. We'll give Northwestern the slight nod here, because QB Dan Persa can take care of the football quite well, but we'll go with the fact that it should be decided at the gun. This arguably the toughest game on the entire board to try to handicap.

Prediction: Northwestern 41 – Indiana 39

Matchup: Tennessee Volunteers @ South Carolina Gamecocks
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 12:20 ET
Location: Williams Bryce Stadium, Columbia, SC
Game Line: South Carolina -18
Over/Under 48.5

We got burned by the Vols last week, as they really had no answers for WR Julio Jones and the offense of the Alabama Crimson Tide. That game at home might have finally been the backbreaker for this Tennessee team that we have been riding all season long. They're good enough to stick around in this game, but the combination of QB Stephen Garcia and WR Alshon Jeffrey are just going to be too tough to take out. Jeffrey is every bit as good as Jones is, and you can bet that HC Steve Spurrier was sitting back and watching this game last weekend and smirking. The SEC East is still wide open, but South Carolina is going to finally put away the Volunteers once and for all with a big time beat down to send a message to the rest of the teams in this conference.

Matchup: Tulsa Golden Hurricane @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 2:30 ET
Location: Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, IN
Game Line: Notre Dame -8.5
Over/Under 63

The Irish are in dire need of a win here, especially with four losses already to their name and games against the USC Trojans and Utah Utes sitting there on the schedule for the rest of the season. Still, this doesn't appear to be the first year in South Bend that HC Brian Kelly really envisioned, and the prospects of missing a bowl game are starting to look more and more real. There are just too many injuries on the offense to account for in South Bend, especially if WR Michael Floyd can't play as well. WR Theo Riddick and TE Kyle Rudolph, two of the top targets in America, are already both on the sidelines in this one. Tulsa has had a week to prepare for its first ever trip to South Bend, and QB GJ Kinne and the crew are licking their chops at going against this defense, which several teams have torched this year, even on the road. Tulsa is ready to pounce, and there's no reason that it should be such a sizeable underdog in this game.

Matchup: Florida Gators vs. Georgia Bulldogs
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 3:30 ET
Location: Ever Life Stadium, Jacksonville, FL
Game Line: Georgia -3
Over/Under 47

This is another game that we have already called the outright upset for, and there is no reason to believe that this won't be a game that goes in the way of the "visitors." First off, remember that Jacksonville is always the home of more Gator fans than Bulldog fans when these teams meet in the World's Largest Cocktail Party, and this season will be no exception even though Florida is down this year. Perception on the Gators took a total flop when they lost to the Mississippi State Bulldogs two weeks ago, but this team is still one of the best 25 in America, and we have no reservations about saying that. Bad coaching has kept this team down all season long, something that is uncharacteristic for an Urban Meyer coached team. Florida's game plan in this one is simple: Stop WR AJ Green. If you can take Green out of the game, you can stop the Bulldogs. Yes, RB Washaun Ealey has the ability to crack the century mark on the ground in this one, but we don't see it happening. Florida has the better defense, and it has the better talent level on offense. It won't take a ton from the 'O' to win this one outright, and we think that the 'D' will come up with just enough to put together the upset.

Matchup: Michigan State Spartans @ Iowa Hawkeyes
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 3:30 ET
Location: Kinnick Stadium, Iowa City, IA
Game Line: Iowa -6.5
Over/Under 50.5

They're calling this day "Roadblock Saturday," right? For whatever reason, we just aren't so sure that this game is going to be a "roadblock" for Michigan State after all. We have no choice but to believe in the Spartans at this point. They've won every game on their schedule, and regardless of how weak that slate is, they are still one of just seven clubs in the country with donuts in their loss column. Don't count this team out. Kinnick is an absolutely bear to play in, but the Wisconsin Badgers proved last week that it was doable to win there, even against QB Ricky Stanzi, who had never lost a game he both started and finished there in his career. The Spartans are a trendy pick to go down and go down in a big way on Saturday, but we aren't so sure that that's the case. The combination of QB Kirk Cousins throwing the ball with RB Le'Veon Bell and RB Edwin Baker running it is just enough for the Spartans to overcome a defense that has been shoddy every step of the way this year. Just don't count these guys out. Don't be shocked to see another Sparty upset, and you might even see MSU at No. 1 in the country by the time this week is said and done!

Matchup: East Carolina Pirates @ UCF Knights
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 3:30 ET
Location: Bright House Stadium, Orlando, FL
Game Line: UCF -7.5
Over/Under 53

Conference USA isn't a place that we take a look at games often, but this one has too much importance to let go. The Knights are already eyeing a trip to the Liberty Bowl this year to take on the Florida Gators in a game that could shift the balance of power of programs in the Sunshine State, but that can't happen unless they take care of business in games like this one against ECU. The Pirates have the best offense that UCF has run into all season long, but the same could be said about the ECU offense running into the Knights' 'D'. Bright House should be rocking on Saturday, and take it from this Orlando boy. The Knights are not getting beaten at home in this type of an environment by anyone in Conference USA on Saturday afternoon. Back UCF with confidence to shut down QB Dominique Davis and the Pirates.

Matchup: Texas Tech Red Raiders @ Texas A&M Aggies
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 3:30 ET
Location: Memorial Stadium, College Station, TX
Game Line: Texas A&M -7
Over/Under 59.5

The Red Raiders and Aggies don't have the greatest teams this year, but both of these squads still feel as though they at least have a remote chance of winning the Big XII this season. HC Tommy Tuberville would just be content getting to a bowl game in his first season to help take the pressure off of him after replacing the loved HC Mike Leach. QB Jerrod Johnson is totally a hit or miss guy for the Aggies this year, and if he's on, there isn't a team in the country that he can't single handedly beat. QB Taylor Potts has a great arm as well, and in the gimmicky "Air Raid" offense, he is destined to put up some huge numbers. Seven is a lot of points to be giving in a rivalry game, especially to a Texas Tech team that was upset as whopping 22 point favorites last year in Lubbock. We're not so sure that Tech is going to win outright, but it should keep A&M within this number.

Matchup: Cal Golden Bears @ Oregon State Beavers
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 3:30 ET
Location: Reser Stadium, Corvallis, OR
Game Line: Oregon State -2.5
Over/Under 53

Don't kid yourself about the Beavers. These guys are the best 3-3 team in the country, and they know it. QB Ryan Katz is starting to get his feet underneath him after replacing the departed QB Sean Canfield, and even though WR James Rodgers is out for the season, we still think that his brother, RB Jacquizz Rodgers, is set for a breakout game. The Golden Bears have lost all three times that they have gone on the road this year, including getting crippled by both the USC Trojans and the Nevada Wolf Pack. Oregon State is every bit as good as both of these teams are, and Reser Stadium is one of the most devastating places to travel in the country. A converted two point conversion two weeks ago against the Washington Huskies would probably have OSU favored by a touchdown in this game, as the Pac-10 title would still reasonably be a possibility. The Beavers have had two weeks to prepare and haven't had a home game since October 2nd. You'd better believe that they're bringing their 'A' game on Saturday.

Matchup: Missouri Tigers @ Nebraska Cornhuskers
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 3:30 ET
Location: Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE
Game Line: Nebraska -7.5
Over/Under 55.5

Here's another case of one of those teams that could be facing a "roadblock" on Saturday… The difference here is that the Tigers are going to get tamed. There's just no way that QB Taylor Martinez is going to let his Huskers lose this game, even if he is just a freshman. This young man has already done some truly remarkable things as a freshman, and he will likely become one of the handful of 1,000 yard rushers on the season this week with a good game against a suspect Missouri defense. We're sorry, Mizzou, but we just don't buy you yet. We know that you can play in Columbia, but struggling with the San Diego State Aztecs and Illinois Fighting Illini just doesn't do it for us. Big Red knows that this is the last shot to win the Big XII before heading on to the Big Ten next season. There's no way that they lose this opportunity and relegate themselves to a lesser bowl game this year.

Matchup: Arizona Wildcats @ UCLA Bruins
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 3:30 ET
Location: Rose Bowl Stadium, Pasadena, CA
Game Line: UCLA +9
Over/Under 49.5

We could really care less whether or not QB Nick Foles plays in this game or not. QB Matt Scott proved to be a viable replacement last week against the Washington Huskies, and he really surprised us by outdueling QB Jake Locker and company. The bottom line is that this is a bet against UCLA, not a bet on Arizona. The Bruins have failed to cover five straight in conference dating back to last year, and the only two covers that they have this season have come via sheer luck, not total skill. As long as Foles and Scott don't get hurt, we don't see any way that there is enough offense with QB Richard Brehaut at quarterback for the Bruins to make it out of this one alive. There should be a big claw mark from the scratch that Arizona is going to leave UCLA when this one is over with.

Prediction: Arizona 28 – UCLA 6

Join us at Cappers Info, as we make our World Series picks for Game 1 of the Fall Classic between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers.

Matchup: Texas Rangers @ San Francisco Giants Game 1
Date: Wednesday, October 27th, 7:57 ET
Location: Candlestick Park, San Francisco, CA
Game Line: San Francisco +105
Over/Under 5.5 (o-110)

Rangers Notes: The Rangers must think that they are in the driver's seat in this game, as they think that LHP Cliff Lee is going to be the man to get the job done in at least Game 1, if not also in Game 4 and possibly Game 7 of this series. And why not? Lee pitched a great game in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Tampa Bay Rays, a phenomenal game in Game 5 to close them out, and a virtually perfect performance on the hallowed ground of Yankee Stadium in a backbreaking Game 3 of the ALCS. This southpaw just keeps getting better and better as well. Lee has thrown 24 innings in these playoffs, and he has only allowed 13 hits, two runs, and one walk, and he has 34 strikeouts to boot. Opposing batters are only hitting .151 against him in these playoffs, and his ERA has dropped to a miniscule 0.75. The hitters really haven't let this team down either in the postseason. The Rangers are getting great play from OF Nelson Cruz. He is batting .375 to lead the team, and he is also tops on the team in runs (11) and home runs (5). 2B Ian Kinsler has three dingers and five total extra base hits, and he leads the team in run production with nine RBIs. Only one regular batter, OF Josh Hamilton, is batting under .250 for the playoffs, and he has eight RBIs as well. Stealing bases has been key for the Rangers as well. This team built on hustle and hard play, and SS Elvis Andrus has stolen seven of the 15 bases for them in 11 postseason tussles. Texas has only been caught stealing twice. If it comes down to the bullpen, the Rangers have been very, very iffy. This unit has allowed 13 runs in 28.2 innings of work for just a 4.08 ERA.

Giants Notes: RHP Tim Lincecum has taken on the best that baseball has to offer in these playoffs, and he has passed almost every single test. If not for the no hitter pitched on the same day by Philadelphia Phillies RHP Roy Halladay, Lincecum's complete game shutout probably would have gone down as the greatest postseason pitching performance that we have seen since Don Larsen's perfect game in the World Series. However, Lincecum didn't stop there. He turned around and outpitched the man that overshadowed him on the first day of the postseason, beating Halladay in Game 1 of the NLCS. Though Lincecum got the loss in the rematch with Halladay in Game 5, he got a hold in the close out game of the series. If the Giants are going to beat the odds to win the World Series, OF Cody Ross is going to be the man to thank. Ross has four home runs in the postseason, and the rest of the team only has one. Ross also has eight RBIs, while the next highest total on the team is OF Pat Burrell's four. C Buster Posey is the only man aside from Ross to be batting over .300 in the postseason. Only four men are batting at least .250. The trick for San Francisco has been the bullpen. Closer Brian Wilson has coined the phrase "Fear the Beard," and he has certainly been a man to fear in these playoffs. Wilson is 1-0 with four saves and a perfect 0.00 ERA in 7.1 innings of work in the playoffs.

The Final Word: An interesting note… This is the lowest 'total' in baseball history, regardless of whether it was a regular season or postseason game. Though common thoughts would suggest that this benefits the team that can make things happen on the base paths, especially with a dominating pitcher on the mound, we tend to disagree. Lincecum has beaten the best there is in the game, and with just one bloop here and there and perhaps a well overdue blast from someone aside from Ross, the Giants can take Game 1.

Matchup: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Connecticut Huskies
Date: Friday, October 29th, 8:00 ET
Location: Rentschler Field, Storrs, CT
Game Line: West Virginia -6.5
Over/Under 46

Big East rivals clash on Friday night when the 5-2 West Virginia Mountaineers take on the 3-4 Connecticut Huskies. Last Saturday, Syracuse pulled off a huge upset and knocked off West Virginia 19-14 on the Mountaineers’ home turf. QB Geno Smith couldn’t get the job done on offense, mustering just 178 passing yards on 20 of 37 passing and threw three interceptions compared to one touchdown. RB Noel Devine did a good job on the ground, carrying the ball 24 times for 122 yards, but it was not enough to get Bill Stewart and the Mountaineers the win. On the defensive side of the ball, the Mountaineers held Cuse to just 246 total yards of offense but could not pull out the victory. As for Connecticut, the Huskies will look to Mike Box to lead the way instead of Zach Frazer. Frazer has received the lion’s share of the snaps, while Box is relatively inexperienced. However, HC Randy Edsall likes what Box brings to the table and will give the redshirt freshman his second straight start. Against Louisville last week, Box completed four of 12 passes for 35 yards and an interception while carrying the ball five times for 22 yards. RB Jordan Todman will receive a steady dose of carries to try to ease the pressure off of Box, but must improve on his 80 yard performance from last weekend. UConn will also need to muster more than 200 yards of offense and limit their turnovers against a game WVU squad.
