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 12 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 67-68 ATS
Upset Record: 16-29 +$215

Underdog Pick #1: Illinois Fighting Illini (+450 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Wisconsin Badgers, Saturday, 12:00 ET: This is a dangerous, dangerous game for the Badgers. Now, it’s true that Wisconsin is clearly the better of these two teams, and it is clear that if the visitors come to play, they will come out on the right side of this one. QB Nathan Scheelhaase doesn’t give up on his team though, and neither will Head Coach Ron Zook in spite of the fact that the Illini have lost four straight games. The pressure is going to mount on the Badgers in this one, as they know that they are two wins away from playing for the Big Ten title. A slip though, and it could all be over with. Don’t be surprised if this one comes down to the wire.

Underdog Pick #2: Virginia Cavaliers (+600 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Florida State Seminoles, Saturday 7:30 ET: Are we nuts going against the Seminoles on their home turf, especially straight up on the moneyline? The Cavvies have always had a good go of it against FSU, including posting the first win in ACC history against the Seminoles. These two teams are both 7-3 SU, and they’re both 5-5 ATS. QB EJ Manuel and the Noles didn’t play their best game last week against the Hurricanes, and if they play that way again in this one, they could be in a heck of a lot of trouble.

Underdog Pick #3: North Carolina State Wolfpack (+245 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Clemson Tigers, Saturday, 3:30 ET: The Wolfpack aren’t all that great, but we just see the handwriting on the wall in this game for Clemson. The Tigers were lucky to survive last week against Wake Forest to play for the ACC Championship Game, and we wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t win another game this season. It really seems like opposing defenses have figured out this offense with QB Tajh Boyd and WR Sammy Watkins. The problem might be that the offense isn’t good enough to win this game for NC State, but on Senior Day in a game which could put it in the bowl game, we think that that could be enough to get it over the hump against an overrated Clemson team.

Underdog Pick #4: Nebraska Cornhuskers (+160 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Michigan Wolverines, Saturday, 12:00 ET: The Huskers were able to survive one big road test last week in Happy Valley against an emotional Penn State team, and now, they are coming on the road to the Big House in one of the biggest games of the season in the Big Ten. Nebraska will keep its Big Ten title hopes alive with a victory, while Michigan needs some help to keep on believing that it can get to the Rose Bowl. QB Denard Robinson and his offense just doesn’t feel like it has been able to get around the rest of the Big Ten this year, and this might be the toughest defense of the bunch in the Black Shirts that it is facing. Nebraska will win its first trip into the Big House this week.

Underdog Pick #5: Rutgers Scarlet Knights (+125 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Cincinnati Bearcats, Saturday, 12:00 ET: This line just doesn’t make any sense to us whatsoever. Cincinnati won’t have QB Zach Collaros in this one, and it has to come on the road to Piscataway in arguably the biggest game in the history of Rutgers football. If the Scarlet Knights can win this game, they might be on their way to the Orange Bowl and the BCS for the first time in their history. WR Mohamed Sanu just doesn’t have an equal on the field in terms of talent, and that should show in a big way. It won’t be the prettiest game in the world, but if Rutgers can keep UC off of the scoreboard as we expect, the Scarlet Knights will get the ‘W’.

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 11 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 61-62 ATS
Upset Record: 16-25 +$615

Underdog Pick #1: Penn State Nittany Lions (+140 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers, Saturday, 12:00 ET: We just can’t even remotely imagine how hard it is going to be for Penn State to end this regular season with all of the garbage that went on in Happy Valley over the course of the last eight days. That being said, there is still a football game to be played, and we think that the players are going to be fired up to get something positive going after a week of disgust. After all, none of them had anything to do with this sex scandal, but they all had a hand in the team’s awesome start to the season. Say what you want about Penn State, but the fact of the matter remains true. This team has one loss this year, and it came against Alabama. Nebraska lost last week to Northwestern, a game which many think was very, very eye-opening. The Cornhuskers have their faults, and those faults could be exposed in a brutal game in University Park on Saturday. Don’t be shocked if the hosts move within one victory of the Big Ten Championship Game.

Underdog Pick #2: Iowa Hawkeyes (+115 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Michigan State Spartans, Saturday 12:00 ET: Apparently, the oddsmakers didn’t learn their lesson last week when they made the Hawkeyes underdogs against the Wolverines. We’re sorry, but Michigan State isn’t significantly better, if better at all, than Iowa. Going into Kinnick Stadium is always tough, and the hardnosed Hawkeyes are now 6-0 in this building this year. The Big Ten Leaders Division will become a heck of a lot more interesting once this upset happens, as there could be four teams that are 4-2 going into the last weeks of the regular season, and none of the four might control their own destiny for going to the Big Ten title game.

Underdog Pick #3: Washington Huskies (+350 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ USC Trojans, Saturday, 3:45 ET: The Huskies, for whatever reason, have had the number of the Trojans over the course of the last two years, and we just don’t see how USC is winning this game at least four out of five times. QB Keith Price has had a fantastic season, and if you take away what he and QB Matt Barkley both did last week, you wouldn’t know which quarterback is which just by looking at the numbers. Sure, the Trojans are the better team in this game, and they have a heck of a lot of potential, but they have played down to the level of their opponents quite a bit this year. If they play down to what their perception is of U-Dub, the Huskies are going to bite them. This is a very, very good Washington team.

Underdog Pick #4: Minnesota Golden Gophers (+2000 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Wisconsin Badgers, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Why not, right? Wisconsin still hasn’t won a road game all season long, and over the course of the last two weeks, the Gophers have beaten Iowa and nearly beaten Michigan State. This is a team that is clearly starting to play better ball under Head Coach Jerry Kill, and considering the fact that this is a rivalry game for Paul Bunyan’s Axe, an award that hasn’t been in Minneapolis in nearly a decade, you can bet that the Golden Gophers are going to give it everything that they’ve got. They have to have at least a 5% chance of winning this game.

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 10 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 50-48 ATS
Upset Record: 11-20 -$15

Underdog Pick #1: Iowa Hawkeyes (+160 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Michigan Wolverines, Saturday, 12:00 ET: We’re going to double dip on the Hawkeyes this week, playing them both as an upset pick and as an ATS pick because we really believe in them to get the job done at Kinnick Stadium. Michigan is a generally soft team, and you’re not going to find a team that is more intense, especially in its home stadium, than Iowa. Head Coach Kirk Ferentz’s team gave up an easy one last week at Minnesota, but it will make no mistakes in the cornfields, where they are a perfect 5-0 this year. Don’t be all that shocked if the Hawkeyes come out and turn the Legends Division of the Big Ten upside down with a big time victory.

Underdog Pick #2: UCLA Bruins (+285 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Arizona State Sun Devils, Saturday 7:30 ET: The Sun Devils can’t afford to take this game lightly, as they know that losing it could all of a sudden put them in some trouble in terms of winning the Pac-12 South. However, that might be the only way that Head Coach Rick Neuheisel keeps his job. The Bruins’ boss did recover from that loss to Arizona with a win last week, but again, without a shot at the Pac-12 title, we just don’t see him being retained at the end of the year, likely getting fired before the team ever has a shot at going to a bowl game. We just hate these Sun Devils this year, as we think that they are vastly overrated and are not worthy of a ranking in the Top 25 in the nation. They’ll be exposed by UCLA, which will be playing for its coach’s life in this one.

Underdog Pick #3: Washington State Cougars (+300 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ California Golden Bears, Saturday, 6:30 ET: Is it just us, or are the Golden Bears just not all that great? Recent setbacks have had the world going against Wazzu once again, but it is clear that this team is good enough to win this game. Just remember that the Cougs were able to stick in front of a big time number at Autzen Stadium last week, and that might be just the momentum that they need to keep their bowl dreams alive against a Cal team with Head Coach Jeff Tedford that badly cannot afford a slip in this one. It’ll certainly be close, and we tend to think that there is going to be an upset when push really comes to shove. In the Cougs we trust!

Underdog Pick #4: East Carolina Pirates (+280 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, Saturday, 4:00 ET: The Golden Eagles are as good as it gets in Conference USA, which is a solid conference in its own right. That being said, ECU has a great passing attack that has just started to more or less get it together. After a dreadful 1-4 start to the season, the team has won three straight games, albeit against a significantly easier schedule, and the team has scored at least 34 points in all three games. This is a dangerous, dangerous spot on the road for the Golden Eagles for a second straight week after surviving that trip to the Sun Bowl last week. SMS might be looking forward to that home game with a traditional rival, UCF next week, and that might be cause for concern against a team that we think when push comes to shove, will at least be eligible for a bowl game.

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!

Year To Date Record: 47-49 ATS
Upset Record: 10-20 -$170

Underdog Pick #1: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (+145 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Clemson Tigers, Saturday, 8:00 ET: The Tigers need to be very, very careful with this game. Georgia Tech has fallen victim in each of the last two weeks to teams that have been preparing and preparing hard for the triple option. Sure, the team got its wakeup call against Virginia and wasn’t able to get the job done against Miami, but Head Coach Paul Johnson has to remind his men that the Coastal Division of the ACC is still wide, wide open at this point, especially with Miami getting beaten on Thursday. Clemson has passed every test that it has had of late, but all of a sudden, its defense looks awfully shoddy. That’s not a good thing when you’re going against a Georgia Tech outfit that has the ability to score points in bunches. Don’t be shocked if this one ends up being a shootout that goes in favor of the Ramblin’ Wreck to get their season back on track.

Underdog Pick #2: Michigan State Spartans (+155 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Nebraska Cornhuskers, Saturday 12:00 ET: Many just think that the Children of the Corn are going to come out and dominate this game against a Michigan State team that A) hasn’t played all that well on the road in recent years and B) has to be too high to be able to really focus on playing this game after beating Wisconsin at the buzzer. However, what we have to remember is that the team really went on a nuts winning streak over the course of the first half of the season after pulling off that emotional victory over Notre Dame in overtime, and Head Coach Mark Dantonio is going to sure have his men ready for this one. We just don’t think that Nebraska is all that great, and it’ll show on Saturday afternoon in Lincoln. If QB Taylor Martinez doesn’t suddenly figure out how to make his team two dimensional instead of just a rushing force, the upset could be in the cards for a second straight week.

Underdog Pick #3: Missouri Tigers (+310 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Texas A&M Aggies, Saturday, 12:00 ET: It’s not often that we really pick against these Top 25 teams on their home turf, but here is another one that we’re just not all that sure about. The ‘Zou has played in some tough venues this year and has played well in virtually all of these games. Even though the Tigers are 3-4, we think that they are one of the best 25 teams in the nation. Head Coach Gary Pinkel’s boys almost never turn out completely flat for a game, and the longer that you can hang around in College Station, the better. QB Ryan Tannehill might not be as sharp as he usually is going against this defense, and we think that the visitors have at least a 30-40% chance of shocking the Big XII and getting back to .500 in this battle of soon to be SEC rivals.

Underdog Pick #4: Arizona Wildcats (+170 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Washington Huskies, Saturday, 10:30 ET: We really think that the Wildcats turned the corner last week when they beat the UCLA Bruins at home in that nationally televised game. This is a very, very winnable fixture for a team that is a heck of a lot better than its 2-5 record indicates. Washington was exposed last week by Stanford on the ground, and though the Cats don’t quite have the ability to do the same type of damage with their ground game as the Cardinal do, they can still get the ball up and down the field in a hurry. U-Dub just isn’t ready to be called a Top 25 team on a consistent basis quite yet, and it will fall in this game as a result against a team that really could be poised to finish out this year on a high.

Underdog Pick #5: Baylor Bears (+425 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Oklahoma State Cowboys, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Earlier in the season, we found out that the Bears have the ability to pull off upsets, as QB Robert Griffin III put up all sorts of nuts numbers on a solid TCU Horned Frogs defense. That being said, he has the ability to do some massive damage in this game too in a duel in which the Bears have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain. Griffin knows that he is going to need to pull off an upset somewhere down the line to be able to make it to a deserved bowl game in his senior year, and this is a ripe, ripe spot for it. The Pokes don’t have a good enough defense to be called a Top 5 team in the country in our opinion, and we just don’t see how they are going to be able to stop Griffin. If the offense sputters even just a few times, it might be enough to let Baylor stick in this game until the death.

Underdog Pick #6: Ohio State Buckeyes (+230 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Wisconsin Badgers, Saturday, 8:00 ET: Is it possible that the wrong team is favored in this game? There’s a real chance for the Buckeyes to not just stick around in this one, but to pull off the upset as well. This is a team that has played well in back to back very difficult road games in conference, and with all of its suspended players back, there is a real chance to still win this conference. This division is wide open after Wisconsin lost to Michigan State last week. We’ve seen it time and time again this year. A team goes from being in the Top 10 in the country to all of a sudden losing a game, and then getting beaten for a second straight week after having a hangover. We might see the Badgers’ offense get totally exposed for a second straight week.

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 8 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 41-39 ATS
Upset Record: 9-18 -$150

Underdog Pick #1: Missouri Tigers (+210 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys, Saturday, 12:00 ET: This seems to be a pretty darn trendy upset pick this week, but we agree with it. The Tigers are probably one of the best 25 teams in America, but they have played an absolutely brutal schedule this year, including games against Arizona State, Oklahoma, Kansas State. They really haven’t been blown out of the water yet, and they have gone up against some offenses that can really shoot it out like Okie State can. Remember that in the games that Mizzou has played against weak competition of late, it dropped 52 on Iowa State and 69 on Western Illinois. You have to go back almost two full years to find the last home game that the Tigers lost, and that includes knocking off Oklahoma last year. Faurot Field is a house of horrors for the opposition in general.

Underdog Pick #2: Northwestern Wildcats (+160 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Penn State Nittany Lions, Saturday 7:00 ET: And we’re back on the Northwestern bandwagon once again… This is the fourth straight week that we are backing the Cats, and we refuse to relent, knowing that this team has the talent to do some real damage, especially in night games at home. Penn State is a Top 25 team, and it is a very deserving one. Yes, its schedule has been paper thin, and its only loss came against arguably the best team in the country in Alabama. However, these wins of late have just been downright brutal. Purdue by 5, Iowa by 10, Indiana by 6, Temple by 4… The offense for Joe Pa and the gang isn’t getting any better any time in the near future, and the Wildcats are the perfect bunch to take advantage of it.

Underdog Pick #3: North Carolina State Wolfpack (+180 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Virginia Cavaliers, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Our light week of upset picks continues with NC State in a game which features two teams which just flat out stink. We think that Virginia has been overhyped because of this win over Georgia Tech last week, but we saw that flat performance by the Yellow Jackets coming from a mile away. That line stunk from the second that it came out. Remember, this is the same bunch of Hoos that lost to Southern Miss at home and nearly lost to both Idaho and Indiana. Yikes. Needless to say, we don’t really think highly of either team, but at least the Wolfpack looked good last week against Central Michigan. We know that UVA isn’t Central Michigan bad, but we do think that it has the potential to lay a total egg in a letdown game.

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 7 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 39-32 ATS

Upset Record: 6-15 -$410

Underdog Pick #1: Mississippi State Bulldogs (+120 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. South Carolina Gamecocks, Saturday, 12:20 ET: We can’t help but wonder if things are going to fall apart for the Gamecocks in these next few weeks. South Carolina really hasn’t looked all that stellar for the most part this year, and now, it has to go on the road on a brutal test in Starkville. Mississippi State has all sorts of quarterback problems, but we have to think that it will come to play in what amounts to be one of the biggest games of the season. The Dogs were able to take down a lot of big time teams at home last season, and they’ll be able to slay the Cocks on Saturday.

Underdog Pick #2: Auburn Tigers (+110 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Florida Gators, Saturday 7:00 ET: Auburn isn’t exactly the greatest team in the SEC this year, but we know that the Tigers have been able to play with some big time teams. All of a sudden, that loss against Clemson doesn’t look all that bad, knowing that the Tigers are in the Top 10 in the land. QB Barrett Trotter is going to have his work cut out for him against this Florida defense, but at home, he should be okay. The real questions are going to be for the Florida offense, as QB John Brantley is still out of the fold. No matter which one of the youngsters are going to end up going against these Tigers, they aren’t going to be able to pull off this victory on the road. The wrong team is absolutely favored in this game.

Underdog Pick #3: UCF Knights (+150 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ SMU Mustangs, Saturday, 3:30 ET: UCF hasn’t had the greatest season in the world, and we have some real questions right now about this offense, but we have to remember that it has played against some reasonable defenses and has played in some awful weather at times. Everyone is high on the Mustangs right now after their upset of TCU, but we just aren’t all that sure. Last year, UCF absolutely dominated the ‘Stangs at Bright House Networks Stadium in the Conference USA Championship Game, which propelled the team to its first bowl win, the Liberty Bowl. This is a big game for an up and coming program, and if the Knights want to get into the Big East, this is the type of game that it really should win.

Underdog Pick #4: Northwestern Wildcats (+220 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Iowa Hawkeyes, Saturday, 7:00 ET: This is the third straight week that we have taken a chance on the Wildcats. We just believe that this team has the ability to win games in this conference now that it has QB Dan Persa back under center. Iowa hasn’t proven anything to us this year. We’re not convinced that the win over Pittsburgh, especially in that come from behind type of fashion was all that special, and we know that the loss to Iowa State was brutal. The Hawkeyes are probably rightfully favored playing at Kinnick Stadium, but there’s no way that the Cats should be more than +150 or so. Remember that this Northwestern team was the one that ended Iowa’s perfect season two years ago right here in the cornfields of Iowa.

Underdog Pick #5: Louisiana Monroe Warhawks (+260 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Troy Trojans, Saturday, 7:00 ET: These Sun Belt games are wacky, and there are often some tremendously unpredictable results. In this case, we can see how an upset can happen. Don’t confuse ULM as your average 1-4 team. Don’t worry about these four losses. The schedule has been brutal and last week’s loss to Arkansas State was against another Sun Belt team that we think has the ability to pull off some upsets this year. QB Kolton Browning is one of the better Sun Belt quarterbacks, and he has a team on his side that can shut down QB Corey Robinson. The Trojans lost this fixture last year, and we can totally see them doing the exact same thing this week as well.

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 6 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 31-27 ATS

Upset Record: 6-10 +$90

Underdog Pick #1: Indiana Hoosiers (+425 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Illinois Fighting Illini, Saturday, 2:30 ET: Last week, we really should have had the upset of Northwestern over Illinois, and this week, we’re going to take another shot at the Illini. Indiana has won three of the last four here in Bloomington, and though this would be the biggest upset of the bunch, it is still an upset that we deem to be possible. The Hoosiers stuck around with, what in our eyes, is a comparable Penn State team last week in what amounted to be their best game of the season. QB Dusty Kiel might be the answer to the team’s quarterback problems. At some point the Illini are going to get picked off, and we want to be right there for the kill when it happens. This is a big, big price in a game in which we feel Indiana has at least a 1 in 4 chance of winning outright.

Underdog Pick #2: Utah Utes (+145 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Arizona State Sun Devils, Saturday 3:30 ET: Last week, we were spot on with Washington against the Utes, but now that their backs are against the wall, we are definitely backing the hosts in their third Pac-12 game of the year. Part of this is that we just don’t buy into what Arizona State is selling. The team barely survived at home against Missouri, didn’t survive on the road against Illinois, and was down for far too long against Oregon State at home last week. Going on the road is never easy. Head Coach Kyle Whittingham has to be preaching to his team that the season isn’t over yet. In fact, winning out should win the Pac-12 South. Step No. 1 comes on Saturday with an “upset” over the Sun Devils, which could be the beginning of the end for Head Coach Dennis Erickson at ASU.

Underdog Pick #3: Air Force Falcons (+475 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Saturday, 3:30 ET: We were all about what the Irish were selling for a few weeks, but now, we’re not really all that sure that they should be justified as greater than a two TD favorite against a team that perhaps should be garnering some Top 25 attention. The Falcons are a solid team — just as Navy about how good the Falcons are after last week’s game. That being said, teams that run the triple option have had some success against Notre Dame in past years, and this might not be an exception. QB Tim Jefferson Jr. and the crew could be in for a big, big upset in South Bend.

Underdog Pick #4: Northwestern Wildcats (+250 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Michigan Wolverines, Saturday, 7:00 ET: Night games in college football are just so much more interesting than day games are, and that’s what Big Blue is going to find out in this one. We still believe in this Northwestern outfit even though it should be disappointed to have blown a relatively sizeable lead last week at Memorial Stadium. Back at home though, we tend to think that they are going to get the job done, especially knowing that this is the time of year that the Wolverines are capable of pulling off their collapse.

Underdog Pick #3: Ohio State Buckeyes (+330 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Nebraska Cornhuskers, Saturday, 8:00 ET: Be very, very careful about a hangover, Nebraska… The Cornhuskers were embarrassed last week in Madison against the Badgers in their first ever game in the Big 10, and this one might not be all that much easier when you think about it. Ohio State is still legitimately probably one of the best 25 teams in the country, and though RB Boom Herron and WR DeVier Posey won’t be in the fold, this entire defense is together and should once again put forth a solid effort. If we can get a game like last week’s 10-7 loss against Michigan State, we know that the Bucks will have us smiling about having a +330 lottery ticket at that point. Don’t be shocked if Big Red gets bounced by the Bucks.

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 5 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 26-20 ATS

Upset Record: 5-8 +$185

Underdog Pick #1: Northwestern Wildcats (+310 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Illinois Fighting Illini, Saturday, 12:00 ET: Our apologies to the Illini, but you’re not the better team in this game. Finally, QB Dan Persa is going to be back in the fold this week for the Wildcats after suffering an Achilles injury last season. It was a long road to recovery, but all signs point to Persa being able to take back control of this offense this week, which is great news for a Northwestern team that still thinks it has an outside shot of winning the Big 10 this year. Illinois has been doing it with smoke and mirrors. Sure, QB Nathan Scheelhaase and company are a decent team, but they’re not a Top 25 club. Bowl game? Sure. Better than 4-4 in conference? Absolutely not. Northwestern could be the real deal. This is the biggest steal on the board in Week 5 in our opinions.

Underdog Pick #2: Akron Zips (+260 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Eastern Michigan Eagles, Saturday 1:00 ET: Okay, we get it. Akron’s bad. Really, really bad. Of course, Eastern Michigan is also bad. Really, really bad. Neither of these teams really should even be playing FBS football at the moment, but alas, this is a conference game that we have to suffer through every year. Akron has every bit as good of a chance of going on the road and winning this game as teh Eagles do. Take the hefty price and run this week.

Underdog Pick #3: Arkansas Razorbacks (+115 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Texas A&M Aggies, Saturday, 3:30 ET: We faded A&M last week, and we were paid off in a healthy manner for it. Now, we’re going to do it again. Arkansas, in our opinion, is just the better team in this game. The Aggies don’t look like they have the ability to win the big game, as demonstrated last week against Oklahoma State, and we tend to believe that the honeymoon for QB Ryan Tannehill is said and done with. QB Tyler Wilson is the real deal, and though the Hogs were crushed by Alabama last week, we don’t see that happening again. Welcome to the SEC, Texas A&M.

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 4 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 20-13 ATS

Upset Record: 3-6 +$85

Underdog Pick #1: North Carolina Tar Heels (+220 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Saturday, 12:00 ET: Welcome to your first legitimate test, Georgia Tech. Sure, we know that the Ramblin’ Wreck have been dropping all sorts of points on the scoreboard to start the season, especially after running up over 750 yards of offense on the Kansas Jayhawks last week. Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore. The Tar Heels have a tough, hardnosed team, and they aren’t going to be out-physicalled at the line of scrimmage like these lesser foes that G-Tech has scheduled thus far. We wouldn’t be overly surprised if there was a major upset in the cards to start off the ACC season, as there is far too much respect being given here to Head Coach Paul Johnson’s crew.

Underdog Pick #2: Louisiana Monroe Warhawks (+500 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Iowa Hawkeyes, Saturday 12:00 ET: It’s a big, big underdog that we’re dealing with here, but there is a big, big prize at the end of it as well. If you’re the Hawkeyes, you have to feel good about that massive comeback last week at home to beat the Pitt Panthers. However, you also have to wonder how you got yourself into that position as well. We just don’t know if Head Coach Kirk Ferentz really has a good squad or not this year. What we’ve seen from the Warhawks, we’ve liked against the Florida State Seminoles and TCU Horned Frogs, and with this being their third big time road test of the year, we think that they really could be primed for an upset. We wouldn’t be surprised one bit if this one went right down to the wire and if QB Kolton Browning wasn’t able to pull off the upset in the end. Iowa’s defense isn’t nearly as good as those of Florida State and TCU.

Underdog Pick #3: Oklahoma State Cowboys (+165 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Texas A&M Aggies, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Has there ever been a game pitting two Top 10 teams against each other with such little hype as this one? The Cowboys and Aggies are playing each other for the final time as Big XII foes, and you can bet that the rest of the conference is hoping that the Pokes send A&M packing in style. College Station is a nightmare to go into, but if there’s an offense that can get the job done and silence the “12th Man,” this is it. QB Brandon Weeden is probably the more talented of the two quarterbacks, and WR Justin Blackmon is certainly going to be the best receiver on the field. The question is whether the Pokes can play enough defense to slow down QB Ryan Tannehill and company. We think that they can, and that they’ll win this one nearly half the time, making it well worth our while to back the Cowboys.

Underdog Pick #4: Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (+130 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Virginia Cavaliers, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Simply put, Virginia just isn’t all that great. Head Coach Mark Fedora and the Golden Eagles won this fixture two years ago in Hattiesburg, and though we must admit that the Wahoo’s have a better team now than they did then, we are still optimistic that the Cavs should be laying points in this game. This was a team that just barely squeaked by the lowly Indiana Hoosiers, one of the worst teams in the AQ schools two weeks ago, and it is one that is still trying to figure out how to stick around with the modest teams in the ACC, most of which are right there on Southern Miss’ level. Take the names off of the fronts of the jerseys in this one. The Conference USA team has the better squad and will prove it with an upset in Charlottesville.

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 3 of college football betting action!

Year To Date Record: 12-11 ATS

Upset Record: 2-4 +$60

Underdog Pick #1: Duke Blue Devils (+225 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Boston College Eagles, Saturday, 12:30 ET: This is more of a play against Boston College than it is on Duke. We feel as though the Dookies are really in some trouble this year as always, but we also know that Head Coach David Cutcliffe has this program going in the right direction once again after years of floating through the wilderness without really having much hope. BC is just a waste, though. The running game looks incredibly shoddy, QB Chase Rettig just isn’t all that good, and the defense is beaten up beyond belief. The Northwestern Wildcats were able to come into Chestnut Hill and post a victory, and now, the Blue Devils are going to do exactly the same.

Underdog Pick #2: Florida State Seminoles (+130 at Wager Web Sportsbook) vs. Oklahoma Sooners, Saturday 8:00 ET: There are just too many eerie looking things in this game for the Sooners. First off, you know that the Noles are going to be psyched up about this game, knowing that they were absolutely taken behind the woodshed against OU last year in Norman. Now, look at some of those creepy similarities. The last time a No. 1 ranked team came to Florida State, it was the Florida Gators who were three point favorites… In Head Coach Bob Stoops’ second year with the Sooners, he guided them to a National Championship against these Seminoles. Now, it’s the second year for Head Coach Jimbo Fisher in Tallahassee. FSU proves that it belongs with a big time upset on Saturday night to send shockwaves throughout the nation.

Underdog Pick #3: Kent State Golden Flashes (+600 at Wager Web Sportsbook) @ Kansas State Wildcats, Saturday, 7:00 ET: Last year, the Wildcats really didn’t have all that great of a team, and now, with QB Collin Klein calling 100% of the shots, their offense is just incredibly one dimensional. The Eastern Kentucky Colonels were able to figure it out in Week 1, and they darn near pulled off the upset against the AQ school. Kansas State seems to be a lot more concerned about its conference affiliation right now than the way that it is playing, and it doesn’t realize that a loss in a game like this could ultimately cost the school millions and millions of dollars if the university is left out in the cold without a conference any time in the near future. Kent State has some potential, and though we don’t like that ugly loss at home against the Louisiana Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns last week, we definitely do like the idea of getting 6 to 1 odds that it can make some noise in Manhattan. This defense could be in for a great day.

Underdog Pick #1: Hawaii Warriors (+205 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Washington Huskies, Saturday, 3:30 ET: If U-Dub ended up in a position where it barely survived Eastern Washington, why on earth is it going to be nearly a TD favorite against Hawaii? The Warriors didn’t look their sharpest last week against the Colorado Buffaloes, but QB Bryant Moniz can kill teams both with his arm and with his legs. Last week, he ran for over 100 yards and three TDs, making up for the fact that he didn’t even reach the 200 yard passing mark. Head Coach Steve Sarkisian’s teams just isn’t there yet to compete in the new-look Pac-12, and this is going to be a tough, tough game. The Warriors, in our opinions, should be short favorites in this one in spite of the fact that they haven’t played all that well on the mainland for the most part in recent history.

Underdog Pick #2: Air Force Falcons (+110 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. TCU Horned Frogs, Saturday 3:30 ET: Alright, so it’s not that much of an “upset” pick, but it’s clear that the Falcons might have the better team in this game. We learned last week that TCU’s big, bad defense might not be all that big and bad after watching QB Robert Griffin III absolutely blow it apart, and now, it’s a very short turnaround to take on the triple option offense of the Falcons. Air Force accounted for almost 400 rushing yards last week against the South Dakota Coyotes, and though this week’s test will clearly be tougher, the third stringers won’t be playing in the fourth quarter. RB Asher Clark and QB Tim Jefferson, Jr. are going to be too tough to stop, and after these two have spent three years getting the snot beaten out of them by the Horned Frogs, it’s time for a small measure of payback to knock TCU out of any chance of going to the BCS, even though those dreams were probably shattered last week against Baylor.

Underdog Pick #3: Michigan Wolverines (+130 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Saturday, 8:00 ET: Is it just us, or should the Fighting Irish absolutely be underdogs in this game? Going into the Big House is generally hard enough, but going into the Big House in the first big time game of the Head Coach Brady Hoke era is a totally different story. Already, Head Coach Brian Kelly has given up on his quarterback, and he has made the switch from QB Dayne Crist to QB Tommy Rees. We tend to think that this is the better move for the team both in the short term and in the long run, but it still won’t be enough to knock off the Wolverines on their home turf. QB Denard Robinson will have an absolutely amazing game against this defense, which was torched last week by a very similar in nature, QB BJ Daniels for the South Florida Bulls.

There’s just one more game on the Week 1 College Football schedule to analyze this week, and it’s a big one in the ACC, as the Maryland Terrapins take on the Miami Hurricanes. As always here at Cappers Info, we’ve got our NCAA football picks for the game and a check in on our up to date record.

Year To Date Record: 8-2 ATS

Upset Record: 1-1 +$230


NCAA Football Matchup: Miami Hurricanes @ Maryland Terrapins
Date: Monday, September 5th, 8:00 ET
Location: Byrd Stadium, College Park, MD
College Football Betting Line: Maryland -4
Over/Under 46.5

Hurricanes Notes: The notes that we could be making on Miami are quite extensive. It has been well publicized that this team has been absolutely crippled this year by suspensions stemming from improper benefits, and this is the game where the club is going to pay the heftiest price. QB Jacory Harris is out of the fold, as well as four other starters and a total of eight players, which is going to make this a tough, tough task for Head Coach Al Golden in his first game captaining the ship at “The U.” Still, Miami has itself a stout defensive unit, and this team can hold even the best in the nation down under 20 points if it is at its best. QB Stephen Morris started in place of an injured Harris last year in this game, and he led the team on a TD drive with less than a minute left in the game to come all the way back to win in South Beach.

Terrapins Notes: Head Coach Randy Edsall is going to be taking his first shot at an ACC opponent with his new team as well this year, and he is going to try to duplicate the successes he had at Connecticut with the Terps. Maryland brings back a ton of pieces from a team that was right on the verge of winning the ACC Atlantic Division last year, and it could be a club that competes again this season, especially with so many vital games being played here in College Park. WR Torrey Smith needs to be replaced, but the majority of the other skill players on offense are back and should be competent this season. Again, Maryland has a defense which could be outstanding, and this unit was unlucky not to guide the team to a ‘W’ last season.

The Final Word: These two squads have played two awfully low scoring affairs in their two meetings since Miami joined the ACC, and we don’t see this game as being an exception to the rule. QB Danny O’Brien and company are the better of the two offenses without Harris in the fold for Miami, and we expect to see that defensive intensity which the Huskies had last year carrying over to the Terps. Don’t be shocked if neither of these teams get into the 20s.

NCAA Football Free Pick: Under 46.5
NCAA Football Prediction: Maryland 17 – Miami 13
