\"Oregon
Wiseguys dont think the 72-0 shutout the ducks pulled off last week warrants such a bigger number against the Vols<\/figcaption><\/figure>The weekend offers a number of marquee match-ups: Alabama vs. Penn State, Oklahoma vs. Florida State, Ohio State vs. Miami, and Notre Dame vs. Michigan seem to be the headliners. But there are a few betting lines that appear to be influenced by professional bettors. Finding reverse action in weekend lines is a good way to find winning plays amidst difficult looking spreads. Of course the best and only way to find guaranteed wins is to sign up for Maddux Sports college football picks.<\/p>\n

Oregon (-11 \u00bd) at Tennessee \u2013 The Ducks slaughtered New Mexico last week, 72-0. Believe it or not, Oregon didn\u2019t run up the score, either; Oregon played a solid half of football and led 59-0 at the break. While Oregon\u2019s offense looks to be potent, don\u2019t underestimate New Mexico. By all accounts, they are that bad.<\/p>\n

The line opened with the Ducks as 13 \u00bd road favorites, and even though the public loved them through the week, the line has come down to 11 \u00bd or 12 points, depending upon the book. The public is currently playing Oregon at over 60%. The wiseguys are the usual suspects for reverse action.<\/p>\n

So why are the professional bettors backing the Volunteers? One reason might be that Tennessee is an SEC school with SEC speed and talent that\u2019s playing at home. Also, playing a team like New Mexico doesn\u2019t exactly prepare a team for the rest of its schedule; the Ducks would\u2019ve gotten stiffer competition from an FCS team like Montana. Tennessee actually played an FCS team \u2013 Tennessee Martin \u2013 and won easily, 50-0. The Vols shutout a team for the first time in 7 years, and held its opponent to under 150 total yards. Look for Tennessee to give Oregon a rude welcome to Neyland Stadium.<\/p>\n

Air Force (-1) vs. BYU \u2013 The BYU Cougars opened as 2 \u00bd point road favorites, but now the Falcons are favored by a point. BYU is getting the public\u2019s attention at just under 80% and the line has moved 3 \u00bd points in the opposite direction. I hold the wiseguys responsible.<\/p>\n

The public was likely impressed by the Cougars\u2019 win over visiting Washington last Saturday night. I, for one, lost on that game. Additionally, Air Force had a tough time with Northwestern State. The Falcons led 24-21 at halftime. But they must\u2019ve gotten a good halftime butt-chewing because they scored the last 41 points of the game, winning easily, 65-21.<\/p>\n

BYU has won the last 3 match-ups in the series, but Max Hall is gone now. The main question in this game is simple: can BYU restrain the Falcons\u2019 triple option attack? If yes, advantage Cougars. If not, advantage Falcons. Both teams have difficult draws the week after, so either one could be overlooking this game. BYU travels to Florida State while Air Force heads to Norman, Oklahoma. Coincidentally, Florida State and Oklahoma also play this weekend.<\/p>\n

Stanford (-6) at UCLA \u2013 The wiseguys appear to moving this line, too. The line opened with Stanford favored by 8 points but has come down to 6 points with most sportsbooks. The public, however, is playing the Cardinal at over 80%. Classic reverse action in this ballgame.<\/p>\n

Stanford is another road favorite with a much tougher week 2 opponent. The Cardinal had its way with lowly Sacramento State, 52-17. UCLA lost a tough game in Manhattan, Kansas to the Kansas State Wildcats, 31-22. I was actually impressed with UCLA, even though they lost. I didn\u2019t expect them to give up over 300 yards rushing, but I didn\u2019t see the defense giving up fewer than 70 yards passing, either. Stanford\u2019s attack is through the air with Andrew Luck. I see UCLA linebacker Akeem Ayers making several big plays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
