NFL betting action is here again! Here at Cappers Info, we’re making our running tally of NFL picks this year, continuing with action on Sunday, December 11th!

Year To Date Record: 45-47 ATS
Upset Record: 11-25, -$1,155

Week 14 NFL Matchup: Indianapolis Colts @ Baltimore Ravens
Date: Sunday, December 11th, 1:00 ET
Location: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD
NFL Lines: Baltimore -16.5
Over/Under 41
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: CBS

A lot of folks are going to be on the bandwagon of the Colts this week, as they were able to not just beat the 20.5 point spread against the Patriots, but they darn near found a way to win the game outright with a ridiculous charge in the fourth quarter. That being said, we have to remember that that was a four TD game before the final stanza when the Pats clearly packed it in, and we know that Baltimore never stops bringing the boom. Last week, RB Ray Rice rushed for over 200 yards, and RB Ricky Williams came right behind him and had another 70+ and a score. And now, Baltimore comes home to play against a team that plays even worse defense! We’ve hit the bonanza in this one. The Ravens should be laying more than the Patriots were. We’ve got ourselves a steal to say the least.

Week 14 NFL Pick: Baltimore -16.5

Week 14 NFL Matchup: Kansas City Chiefs @ New York Jets
Date: Sunday, December 11th, 1:00 ET
Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
NFL Lines: New York -10.5
Over/Under 36.5
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: CBS

Over the course of the last three weeks with QB Tyler Palko calling the shots, the Chiefs have five field goals and a touchdown on a Hail Mary pass at the end of the first half to the smallest guy on the field. The Jets aren’t great, but they are definitely good enough to beat a team with that sort of offense. If QB Mark Sanchez doesn’t give up points, the New York defense should be able to hold Kansas City to, one would figure less than 17 for sure, and probably less than 13. At home this year, the Jets have been able to put points on the board, and we don’t think that that will be an exception on Sunday. One would like to think that the ‘under’ is going to cash, but we’d rather take our chances laying the points with the Jets at home just in case KC does find its way into the end zone more than once on accident.

Week 14 NFL Pick: New York -10.5

Week 14 NFL Matchup: New England Patriots @ Washington Redskins
Date: Sunday, December 11th, 1:00 ET
Location: FedEx Field, Landover, MD
NFL Lines: New England -7.5
Over/Under 48
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: CBS

We absolutely hate laying points on the road in NFL betting action, but in this case, we think that New England is going to come out and lay the smack down on Washington. The Redskins haven’t really played all that many great games since the first few weeks of the year, and their secondary isn’t going to be able to hold up against QB Tom Brady and the gang. Last week, New England was all over the field in the first three quarters before basically giving up in the fourth and letting the Colts back in it. Head Coach Bill Belichick isn’t going to let his team give up this time around, especially knowing that the top seed in the AFC really could be lost if this game ends up going the wrong way. TE Rob Gronkowski gets his record setting touchdown for most scores by a tight end in a season, and Brady inches closer towards throwing for over 5,000 yards. This one is going to be all New England.

Week 14 NFL Pick: New England -7.5

Week 14 NFL Matchup: Buffalo Bills @ San Diego Chargers
Date: Sunday, December 11th, 4:15 ET
Location: Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, CA
NFL Lines: San Diego -7
Over/Under 47.5
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: CBS

Now wait just one darn moment before everyone gets on the San Diego bandwagon once again… This is the type of game that the Chargers lose and lose seemingly more often than they win. The Bolts have tricked us, with their huge romp of a bad Jacksonville team on Monday Night Football last week, that they are for real once again. This is a short week and a bad travel week at that for the Chargers, and though it is also a bad travel week for a Buffalo team that has to come across the country, at least the Bills had one more day to get accustomed to the travel plans. San Diego might win this one when push comes to shove, but we love the spunk that the Bills have shown for the most part over the last couple weeks even though they are basically down and out of the playoff race. Take the points in a game in which Buffalo very well could hit a backdoor and could pull off an upset as well.

Week 14 NFL Pick: Buffalo +7

Week 14 NFL Matchup: Oakland Raiders @ Green Bay Packers
Date: Sunday, December 11th, 4:15 ET
Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
NFL Lines: Green Bay -11.5
Over/Under 51.5
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: CBS

It’s always rough to go against the Packers, but this week, we are going to take our chances with the Raiders. They played an absolutely atrocious game last week against the Dolphins, and though they have to come all the way East for a second straight week, they are probably going to be a lot more focused against a Green Bay that is clearly the best in the league. On the road this year, the Raiders have scored 23, 35, 25, 24, and 27 points before last week’s stinker in Miami. Meanwhile, the Packers have been cutting it close a little bit of late. They have failed to cover two of their last three, and they haven’t comfortably put away a team that is going to have an impact on the playoff chase in several weeks. We’ll take the ‘over’ as a bit of a buffer, as we do think that Oakland is going to score its points, but our better play is clearly on the silver and black to keep this one within 10 or so.

Week 14 NFL Pick: Oakland +11.5 and Oakland/Green Bay Over 51.5

First place in the NFC East will be on the line on Sunday Night Football in Big D, and here at Cappers Info, we are making our NFL picks in the clash between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.

Year To Date Record: 45-47 ATS
Upset Record: 11-25, -$1,155

Week 14 NFL Matchup: New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Date: Sunday, December 11th, 8:25 ET
Location: Dallas Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, TX
NFL Week 14 Lines: Dallas -3.5
Over/Under 48.5
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: NBC

Giants Notes: The Giants have had some major defensive problems these last couple of weeks, as they have allowed 38 to the Green Bay Packers and 49 to the New Orleans Saints. They haven’t really been all that bad aside from that this year though, so don’t let that No. 28 ranking in total defense at 387.2 yards per game and No. 28 ranking in scoring at 26.2 points per game scare you. QB Eli Manning does a great job with this offense for the most part, as the unit is consistently scoring in the 20s. In fact, there are only four games all season long in which New York hasn’t scored at least 24 points, though two of those four games have come in divisional tussles. RB Brandon Jacobs is hurt with a hamstring injury, and he is questionable in this game, which will only further hurt an offense that ranks dead last in the league in rushing and has struggled on the ground all season long.

Cowboys Notes: Dallas knows that a win in this game could pretty much put the division race away. The Boys would be two up with three to play, and they have games over the course of the next two weeks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles, two teams which they should beat and beat handily. Then again, Dallas had no business losing last week to the Arizona Cardinals in overtime. This offense has looked questionable at best at times of late. The Cowboys are a team that you would figure would be putting up points in bunches this year, but the truth of the matter is that the squad has only topped 27 points once since October 23rd, and it has more games in the teens and below this year (four) than in the 30s and above (three). QB Tony Romo will get back the services of WR Miles Austin this week after he was out of the fold for the last few weeks with a hamstring injury, giving him one of the most lethal sets of receivers in the league with WR Laurent Robinson, WR Dez Bryant, and TE Jason Witten.

The Final Word: Though we know that the whole world is on the Cowboys and the ‘over’ in this one, we’re going to be the contrarians and go with the ‘under’. We just don’t like the way that Dallas’ offense has functioned over the last few weeks, and we don’t see this unit scoring in the 30s. If that’s the case, it’s going to be a difficult game to try to reach the ‘total’. We tend to think that Dallas just barely escapes this one.

Week 14 NFL Pick: New York/Dallas Under 48.5

NFL Football Prediction: Dallas 23 – New York 21

Our free NFL picks continue with Monday Night Football this week, as the Seattle Seahawks try to keep their slim playoff hopes alive against the hapless St. Louis Rams.

Year To Date Record: 45-47 ATS
Upset Record: 11-25, -$1,155

Week 14 NFL Matchup: St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
Date: Monday, December 12th, 8:30 ET
Location: CenturyLink Field, Seattle, WA
NFL Week 14 Lines: Seattle -10
Over/Under 37
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: ESPN

Rams Notes: To say that there is no confidence that the Rams are going to score points in this game is a bit of an understatement since their team total is going to be around 13. They have only scored more than that 13 once since October 30th, and that is only one of the three times this year in which the team has scored more than 13 points in a game. Now to make matters worse, there is a decent chance that QB Tom Brandstater is going to have to make his NFL debut as a starter on the road on Monday Night Football. QB Sam Bradford sat out last week with an ankle sprain, while QB AJ Feeley was injured with a thumb fracture in his place last weekend. Now the team has to regroup with RB Steven Jackson pacing the offense, and he is coming off of his third straight game in which he averaged less than four yards per carry, numbers which aren’t going to cut it for an offense that is basically one-dimensional at this point.

Seahawks Notes: We weren’t counting Seattle out of the playoff chase a few weeks ago when we backed it at 2,500 to 1 to win the whole enchilada. That being said, we are probably out of the playoff push at this point, though with the right combination of wins and losses by other teams, this game could leave the Seahawks just one game back with three to play of at least the last Wild Card slot, if not both Wild Cards when the week is said and done with. QB Tarvaris Jackson continues to more or less just manage the offense, and though this seems like a unit that is just woeful, the truth of the matter is that it is averaging a relatively respectable 18.0 points per game (at least by NFC West standards, that’s respectable). RB Marshawn Lynch has found the end zone in eight straight games, and all nine of his scores have come in that stretch. He could be making his push at the Pro Bowl with a good game on Monday Night Football.

The Final Word: It seems as though we would have a hard time laying double digits with a team that is this poor at scoring. It seems as though Seattle could need to get in the 20s in this game in scoring to cover the spread, but we just aren’t so sure that that is the case, especially if Brandstater has to take snaps.

Week 14 NFL Pick: Seattle -10

NFL Football Prediction: Seattle 17 – St. Louis 6

You aren’t going to find two teams that hate each other more than these two that are going to meet on Thursday Night Football, as the Cleveland Browns take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.

Year To Date Record: 44-47 ATS
Upset Record: 11-25, -$1,155

Week 14 NFL Matchup: Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Date: Thursday, December 8th, 8:20 ET
Location: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA
NFL Lines: Pittsburgh -14
Over/Under 38.5
Week 14 NFL TV Schedule: NFL Network

Browns Notes: The season has really gone up in flames this year for the Browns. They really thought that they were going to compete with the big boys, but right from the very start of the season with a loss at home to the Cincinnati Bengals, things just weren’t going well. QB Colt McCoy has only completed 57.7 percent of his passes for 2,524 yards and 14 TDs against nine picks. Those aren’t the most awful numbers in the world, but when you consider the fact that no one has run the ball for even 400 yards over the course of the year on the team. The good news is that the ground game does have its best back, RB Peyton Hillis in the lineup again, and he had a relatively respectable game in last week’s loss against the Baltimore Ravens, accounting for 45 yards on 12 carries. Of course, that all pales in comparison to the 290 rushing yards that the team allowed, including 204 to RB Ray Rice a week ago, and if the Steelers can keep that up this week, it’ll be another long game as the 24-10 loss was last week to Baltimore.

Steelers Notes: The Steelers have their work cut out for them if they want to win the AFC North and contend for the top seed in the conference. However, first things first… clinching a playoff spot. With nine wins already, it’s really only going to take one more win to likely get the job done when the rest of the conference behind them has just seven wins. A victory and some help on Sunday will get the job done. Pittsburgh still has some major injury issues. LB LaMarr Woodley is already out of the lineup in this one with a hamstring injury, and DT Chris Hoke just underwent season ending surgery. WRs Arnaz Battle and Emmanuel Sanders are both likely going to be out of this game as well. That being said, the three losses that the Steelers have had have all come against fellow 9-3 teams in the conference, twice against the Ravens and once against the Houston Texans. There just doesn’t seem to be any way that the men in black and gold are going to lose this one with their goal, a return trip to the Super Bowl, being oh so close.

The Final Word: Still, the Steelers just have this knack of failing to cover these double digit point spreads. They have failed in all three of their efforts as double digit favorites this year in spite of the fact that they have won all three all of those games. Cleveland hasn’t been beaten by more than two TDs in a month, and we tend to think that it will find a way to stick inside that hefty number once again in this game.

Week 14 NFL Pick: Cleveland Browns +14

NFL Football Prediction: Pittsburgh 27 – Cleveland 17

College football betting action is here again! Here at Cappers Info, we’re making our running tally of NCAA football picks this year, continuing with action on Saturday, December 3rd!

Year To Date Record: 81-81 ATS
Upset Record: 20-34 +$765

Week 14 College Football Matchup: Iowa State Cyclones @ Kansas State Wildcats
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 12:30 ET
Location: Bill Snyder Family Memorial Stadium, Manhattan, KS
College Football Lines: Kansas State -10
Over/Under 51
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: FSN

It has been a great year for the Wildcats, and it would be a great reward to see them in the BCS when push comes to shove. It’s not a given by any means, but with the right combination of happenings on Saturday, including if Oklahoma were to lose to Oklahoma State, could force the hands of the Fiesta Bowl into taking either KSU or Boise State. Iowa State has played reasonable ball over the last two weeks, including beating Oklahoma State at home to potentially ruin its chances of winning the National Championship, but this one is going to be a game in which it lays down. The Wildcats just have too much offense going their way, and they will take this one by at least two touchdowns. Remember that last week, the Sooners really left a slew of points on the table in a very sloppy game. KSU won’t make the same mistakes.

Week 14 NCAA Football Pick: Kansas State -10

Week 14 College Football Matchup: Texas Longhorns @ Baylor Bears
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 3:30 ET
Location: Floyd Casey Stadium, Waco, TX
College Football Lines: Baylor -2.5
Over/Under 63
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: ABC

It’s the last game at home in the collegiate career of QB Robert Griffin III. He still has a shot to win the Heisman Trophy this year, and a huge game against Texas would help all of that. The Longhorns have been in and out of the bottom of the Top 25 this year, and we just aren’t all that sure as to why. Some style points for the Bears could leave them as outside contenders for a BCS bowl bid (see: Kansas State), and we just don’t see them losing out on the opportunity. Baylor has come a long, long way in the time that Griffin has been here, and he will make it all stand up by getting a ‘W’ over the once feared Longhorns on Saturday.

Week 14 NCAA Football Pick: Baylor -2.5

Week 14 College Football Matchup: BYU Cougars @ Hawaii Warriors
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 7:30 ET
Location: Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, HI
College Football Lines: BYU -7.5
Over/Under 55
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: ESPN2

BYU really doesn’t have anything to play for but pride in this one, as it knows that it is going to the Armed Forces Bowl regardless. Hawaii on the other hand, needs this one to become bowl eligible and to earn a spot in its own bowl game, the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. The Cougars have held three of their last four foes down to a touchdown or fewer, while the Warriors have some tremendous problems at quarterback without QB Bryant Moniz. The offense hasn’t scored more than 35 points in a game since Moniz went down, and there are some real duds in the bunch. Don’t be shocked if the Cougars come out with another good defensive effort, and the end result should be a relatively low scoring contest.

Week 14 NCAA Football Pick: BYU/Hawaii Under 55

It’ll be Bedlam for sure in Stillwater on Saturday night, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys look to make their case to be in the BCS National Championship Game when they take on the Oklahoma Sooners in the de facto Big XII Championship Game.

Year To Date Record: 81-81 ATS
Upset Record: 20-34 +$765

Week 14 College Football Matchup: Oklahoma Sooners @ Oklahoma State Cowboys
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 8:00 ET
Location: Boone Pickens Stadium, Stillwater, OK
College Football Lines: Oklahoma State -3.5
Over/Under 70.6
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: ABC

This is probably the most important version of Bedlam in quite some time for both of these teams. The Sooners know that the difference between a win and a loss is probably the Fiesta Bowl or the Cotton Bowl. The Cowboys still have a shot at playing for all of the marbles with a win, and they could be booted all the way out of the BCS with a loss, especially should Georgia win the SEC Championship Game. The computers all love the Pokes, and should there be a sentiment amongst the human voters to keep a rematch between LSU and Alabama from happening, they could get the nod, especially knowing that this is the last thing that they are going to see before they vote for the final time in the regular season.

This is also going to be the last chance for QB Landry Jones and QB Brandon Weeden to state their cases as Heisman Trophy contenders. Odds have it, Weeden is going to be going to New York one way or the other, and many think that he can wrestle the award away from QB Andrew Luck and RB Trent Richardson with a great showing on Saturday. Jones probably can’t win the award, but he might be able to make himself a finalist by winning this game, possibly at the expense of his counterpart.

Both of these teams have underachieved for sure at times this year. The Cowboys had no business being challenged by Kansas State and should have never lost to Iowa State. Then again, Texas Tech should have never beaten Oklahoma, and the Sooners shouldn’t have been outplayed for the majority of the game against Baylor. That being said, we do think that the Oklahoma State offense is good enough to move the ball up and down the field for the entire game, and if that’s what happens, the Cowboys could be winning Bedlam for the first time in eight years.

Week 14 NCAA Football Pick: Oklahoma State -3.5

Earlier this season, the Clemson Tigers were able to get the best of the Virginia Tech Hokies. Now, with a spot in the Orange Bowl on the line, we are set to watch these two duke it out again in Charlotte, and we are set to make our free ACC Championship Game picks.

Year To Date Record: 81-81 ATS
Upset Record: 20-34 +$765

Week 14 College Football Matchup: Clemson Tigers @ Virginia Tech Hokies
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 8:00 ET
Location: Bank of America Field, Charlotte, NC
College Football Lines: Virginia Tech -7
Over/Under 53
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: ESPN

The Hokies are going to have to be gritting their teeth about the idea of having to play the Tigers again in this situation. Had they not lost to Clemson earlier this year, this would probably be a game that would be for the right to go to the National Championship Game. There could have been some thought to going to the title game anyway in this one, even with the one loss, had Clemson run the table instead of losing three of its last four games and failing to play even one truly good game in the bunch.

That being said, we tend to think that the beat down is going to be on. The Hokies, in our eyes, are the significantly better team. They averaged 32.5 points per game in their other 11 games this year, which makes us think that it was absolutely an anomaly that they were held down to just a single field goal on their home turf of Lane Stadium. Clemson’s 8-0 start to the season really only featured wins against Florida State (without QB EJ Manuel) and Auburn, both games of which were at home, and both of which came against teams that proved to be basically average squads. Since that point, the Tigers have been beaten by at least two touchdowns in three out of four, and they were trailing until very late against Wake Forest in what turned out to be the de facto ACC Atlantic Division title game… again, at home.

QB Tajh Boyd was considered a Heisman Trophy candidate for quite awhile, but in the end, he just doesn’t have the goods to beat this VT defense. The Hokies did a great job of holding the Tigers the first time around, and that won’t be an exception this time. However, the offense is going to make the real difference. Expect to see the Hokies get back in the saddle and score upwards of 30+ in this one, and that will be more than enough to take care of the Tigers by at least a TD.

Week 14 NCAA Football Pick: Virginia Tech -7

A berth in the Granddaddy of Them All will be handed out in the first ever Big Ten Championship Game, and here at Cappers Info, we are set to make our Michigan State Spartans vs. Wisconsin Badgers free picks!

Year To Date Record: 81-81 ATS
Upset Record: 20-34 +$765

Week 14 College Football Matchup: Michigan State Spartans vs. Wisconsin Badgers
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 8:17 ET
Location: Lucas Oil Field, Indianapolis, IN
College Football Lines: Wisconsin -9.5
Over/Under 54.5
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: FOX

Revenge will be on the minds of the Badgers in this one, as they have a lot to prove after losing in East Lansing two months ago. It’s hard to say that MSU truly deserved that win, as it really seemed to be a bit more lucky than good. The Spartans scored on a blocked punt, picked up a safety, and then in the final coup, threw a 44 yard TD pass as time expired in regulation to take a game that was sure to go to overtime and turn it into a victory for the ages against a previously unbeaten team.

Wisconsin’s offense is just really tough to stop. Since getting beaten in back to back weeks by Michigan State and Ohio State, the Badgers have scored at least 42 points in three of their four games, including in last week’s 45-7 romp of the Penn State Nittany Lions in Camp Randall. Though this team is used to playing in cold weather, we have to imagine that playing on a fast track in the dome at Lucas Oil Field is going to make this team even better, especially for RB Montee Ball, who should have no troubles finding some holes in this defense.

In the end, we just don’t think that the Spartans are all that great. They were beaten by Notre Dame and Nebraska this year, and they were challenged by the likes of Northwestern and Minnesota down the stretch. A 10-7 win against Ohio State doesn’t look all that great either. In the end, the Wisconsin offense will just be too much to handle, and we expect to see this one end with at least a two TD margin of victory for the Badgers, sending them to their second straight Rose Bowl.

Week 14 NCAA Football Pick: Wisconsin -9.5

One, and maybe even two BCS bowl bids will be handed out on Saturday afternoon at the Georgia Dome for what is always one of the greatest college football betting battles of the year. This year, our SEC Championship Game picks are contested between the Georgia Bulldogs and the LSU Tigers.

Year To Date Record: 81-81 ATS
Upset Record: 20-34 +$765

Week 14 College Football Matchup: LSU Tigers vs. Georgia Bulldogs
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 4:00 ET
Location: Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GA
College Football Lines: LSU -13.5
Over/Under 46.5
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: CBS

As much as this game looks like it means on paper, the truth of the matter is that it really might not mean a thing whatsoever to LSU. The Bayou Bengals could very well have their eyes fixated on the National Championship Game, and they might be able to go to the game even with a loss. That being said, Head Coach Les Miles wants his team to continue playing its best football, and that means beating the snot out of the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs have absolutely nothing to lose in this game, as they already know that they have done enough to keep their Head Coach Mark Richt around for another season. That doesn’t mean that they are content getting blown away in this game and then taking a winter flight down to Orlando for the Capital One Bowl. They want to win the SEC, and they want to put the pressure on the BCS bowl games to make room for them as automatic qualifiers. And, it’s hard to deny them that right, too. QB Aaron Murray, only a sophomore, has thrown for 32 TDs this year to lead an offense that has been sneakily good. Meanwhile, the defense has picked it up after getting blown to bits over the course of the first two weeks of the season.

We aren’t denying the fact that Georgia has been great this year, because it has and is much deserving of a spot in this game. However, the Dawgs didn’t play Alabama, LSU, or Arkansas this year, and its hardest game of the season that was won was likely the roadie at Georgia Tech last week. LSU has beaten, and beaten down most everyone that it has played this year, and we just don’t see this one being much of an exception. It’s hard to see anything but a 20+ point victory for the Bayou Bengals.

Week 14 NCAA Football Pick: LSU -13.5

Conference USA could have its first team ever to make it to the BCS on Saturday if the Houston Cougars can beat the NCAA football betting lines against another team from this conference ranked in the Top 25, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles.

Year To Date Record: 81-81 ATS
Upset Record: 20-34 +$765

Week 14 College Football Matchup: Southern Miss Golden Eagles @ Houston Cougars
Date: Saturday, December 3rd, 12:00 ET
Location: MM Roberts Stadium, Houston, TX
College Football Lines: Houston -13.5
Over/Under 72
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: ABC

As has been the case with Houston all year long, the key to slowing this team down is by putting QB Case Keenum under wraps. Easier said than done, though. The sixth year senior has thrown for 4,726 yards and 43 TDs this year, both marks of which are the best in the country, and he only has three INTs. He is completing over 72 percent of his passes, and he rarely gets sacked. Deep balls, precision passers, rocket balls, or soft touches… There isn’t a throw in the book that Keenum can’t make. SMS is going to have its work cut out for it for sure.

One might immediately dismiss the Golden Eagles in this game, especially after watching them go on the road and get beaten by the lowly UAB Blazers two weeks ago. It’s true that this team just has not played great ball over the course of the last few weeks, but it does only have one loss this season, and it has already proven that it can go on the road and beat a potentially comparable team in the Virginia Cavaliers.

The defense for SMS hasn’t been tested like this all season long, but it has nothing to lose and everything to gain. This is as good of a defense as Keenum has seen in months, and for the first time in awhile, he might get a bit of a challenge and be forced into some situations in which he has to punt the football. The Cougs are going to have a heck of a lot of pressure to perform this week, and we think that that pressure is going to result in this game being a heck of a lot closer than the so called experts think.

The Bruins have decided that they are going to get rid of Head Coach Rick Neuheisel after Friday night’s game regardless of the outcome. We think that Neuheisel got a bad rap this season, as he is representing the South Division and does have at least a puncher’s chance of making the Rose Bowl, more than the likes of USC and Stanford can say. That being said, the team was absolutely brutal in the regular season finale against the Men of Troy at the LA Coliseum last weekend, getting toasted 50-0 in a game that truly was never even that close.

This is the final home game for a number of Oregon seniors, and it could also be the final hurrah for RB LaMichael James. One way or the other, this is his last shot at claiming a spot in New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist. It would be remarkable to think that a man that missed two weeks of the season due to injury could be in line for college football’s most illustrious individual honor, but over 1,700 total yards and 15 TDs later, James certainly has the numbers to stack up against anyone in the country,

The question here isn’t whether Oregon is going to win, it’s by how much. Historically, Head Coach Chip Kelly has no problem running up the score on the opposition, just as was the case last year when the Ducks took a 32-3 lead into the locker room against these Bruins and came out and dropped another 28 points in the second half. When it’s all said and done, this isn’t going to be anywhere near the sendoff that Neuheisel saw coming. The Bruins might lose this one by 50 as well.

The MAC Championship Game odds will be contested on Friday night in Motown, and either the Northern Illinois Huskies or the Ohio Bobcats will be on their way to the Little Caesars Bowl as the champion of this conference.

Year To Date Record: 81-80 ATS
Upset Record: 20-34 +$765

Week 14 College Football Matchup: Ohio Bobcats @ Northern Illinois Huskies
Date: Friday, December 2nd, 7:00 ET
Location: Ford Field, Detroit, MI
College Football Lines: Northern Illinois -3.5
Over/Under 70.5
Week 14 College Football TV Schedule: ESPN2

One thing is for sure on Friday night when the Bobcats and the Huskies do battle, and that’s that the potential is there for a whole heck of a lot of points to be scored. We’ve seen NIU play games into the 120s in total points this year, and we know that Ohio has the same type of potential.

These two quarterbacks are largely the same type of player, as both QB Chandler Harnish and QB Tyler Tettleton can really light it up both with their arm and their legs. Harnish is a rare quarterback who has over 1,000 rushing yards and over 2,500 passing yards, and when the season is said and done with, those numbers will probably read 3,000 passing and 1,500 rushing to go with right around 40 total touchdowns against just the five INTs that he currently has on the campaign.

The real question is going to be whether or not the Ohio defense can slow down the Huskies. When NIU fails to score in the 40s or more, it tends to struggle. In the end, we think that the Bobcats are going to find a way to keep this one incredibly close with its defense, and in the end, this one is going to come right down to the wire. Expect a close call either way. Take the points.
