It could be the biggest game in the history of the Houston Texans and one of the darker days in the last decade for the Indianapolis Colts. First place in the AFC South will be on the line, as the winner of this Monday Night Football betting affair will take over the lead in the division and be in the driver’s seat for the postseason. For Houston, this has never happened in franchise history. Of course, neither has winning a game in Indy, nor has sweeping the Colts. For Indianapolis, a loss would really be damaging to its postseason chances and could mark the beginning of the end of the Colts’ dynasty. You know that we have Monday Night Football props covered in this one, and you aren’t going to want to miss out on any of these great chances to make some coin on MNF.

Peyton Manning Passing Yards Over/Under 300.5
Simply put, this number just couldn’t be high enough for us. Manning is just going to tear this Houston secondary apart just like he did in Week 1 when he threw for well over 400 yards in one of the best passing days of the entire season by a quarterback. Many think that the Texans have the worst secondary in football, and based upon the fact that they are allowing 306.2 yards per game through the air, there is some really good justification for that. Unless the pressure gets to be too tough in the backfield for Manning, there’s no way that he doesn’t reach this number. Of course, nothing ever really ruffles the feathers of No. 18, so there’s no way that we are doing anything but playing Manning Over 300.5 Passing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook) on Monday Night Football.

Arian Foster Over/Under 99.5 Rushing Yards
Are we certifiably insane here? Foster ran the ball 33 times in Week 1 and had the best rushing day of the season against the Colts, rumbling for 233 yards and three scores! However, we just aren’t so sure about the former Tennessee Volunteer’s chances in this one. Indianapolis has gotten significantly better against the run in recent weeks, and with LT Duane Brown out of the lineup serving a suspension, the Texans are missing perhaps their best run blocker in the lineup. There’s also something significantly different about playing this game from behind than from ahead, and we know that Houston isn’t going to march into Lucas Oil Field and absolutely beat the Colts down physically like they did in Week 1. Foster has a chance of getting to 100 yards on the day, but we tend to think that this is a bet for suckers only. The Texans are a passing team, and they’re going to show it on Monday. Go with Foster Under 99.5 Rushing Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Andre Johnson Over/Under 78.5 Receiving Yards
Let’s be real here for a second. Andre Johnson is a man amongst boys on the field, and it seems like he can single handedly take over a game when need be. He is the best player in Houston’s lineup and it isn’t even close, and there is no way that he is going to be taken out of a game like this like he was in Week 1. It’s not that Indy really did anything special to eliminate the Miami Hurricanes standout in the first clash of the year. It’s that the running game was working so well that there was no need to put the pigskin in the air. Don’t be shocked if Johnson gets involved early and often, especially after the bye week that should help heal any nagging wounds that have kept him on the sidelines at times this year. After that huge performance against Kansas City when he single handedly won the game, Johnson should have no problem going Over 78.5 Receiving Yards (-115 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Pierre Garcon Over/Under 3.5 Receptions
With TE Dallas Clark out of the lineup and WR Austin Collie considered extremely questionable, we know that someone has to step up to take over the reception load of one of the best tight ends in the game. Normally speaking, we would suggest that WR Anthony Gonzalez would be able to do that, but we aren’t so sure that he’ll be 100% effective even if he is able to start to play again for the first time since the very beginning of last season. We aren’t so sure that Garcon is going to be that man either, but if Manning is going to be throwing 45-50 passes in this game, we are very sure that at least a half dozen of them are heading in the Mount Union product’s direction. We find it very unlikely that Garcon doesn’t go Over 3.5 Receiving Yards (-155 at Hollywood Sportsbook).

Week 8 of the NFL season is right around the corner! The handicapping experts of Bankroll Sports have key releases for you this weekend. Props and free picks will be available to you on our sports blog as well. However, to kick off this NFL betting week, we’re going to take a look at the most important NFL trends and matchup histories for the Week 8 NFL matchups.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET: Green Bay Packers @ New York Jets
NFL Trends of Note
The Packers have covered five straight following their bye week
Green Bay is 15-5-1 ATS in its L/21 as an underdog
New York is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 years following its bye week

Series History
The Jets have absolutely reamed the Packers in their L/2 meetings with one another, winning 38-10 at Lambeau Field in 2006 and 42-17 in the Meadowlands in 2002. Since 1985, these teams have met six times, with the Pack getting beaten outright in five of the six and posting just a 1-4-1 ATS record. Needless to say, New York hopes this continues on Sunday to try to improve the NFL’s best ATS mark right now at 5-1 ATS.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Denver Broncos vs. San Francisco 49ers
NFL Trends of Note
The Broncos are just 17-35 ATS in their L/52 games after SU losses of more than two TDs
Denver is 7-20-1 ATS in its L/28 against teams with losing records
San Fran is just 7-19-1 ATS in its L/27 played in October

Series History
This is going to be the first time that either the Broncos or 49ers have paid a visit to Jolly Ol’ England, and it should be a good one. The Niners pulled off a tremendous upset in 2006 at Mile High Stadium, winning 26-23 in overtime as ten point pups. The previous meeting also went to the road team and the underdog in 2002, a 24-14 win for Denver at Candlestick Park.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions
NFL Trends of Note
Washington is 6-18-3 ATS in its L/27 against teams with a losing record
Detroit is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 home games
The home team is 7-2 ATS in the L/9 meetings

Series History
Last year, this was the game which ended the dastardly losing streak for the Lions that extended 19 games, including the winless campaign in 2008. The Lions had failed to cover the previous three though, notching their most recent win from that point in 2000 by the count of 15-10. This is also a series that is notorious for low scoring affairs, as the ‘under’ has gone 6-0-2 over the L/8 meetings dating back to 1997.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Miami Dolphins @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Trends of Note
The Dolphins remain 3-0 SU and ATS this year on the road but 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS at home
The Fins are 9-1-1 ATS in their L/11 games played in Week 8
Cincy is 3-11 ATS in its L/14 overall

Series History
These teams actually don’t play that often, which is very surprising for teams sharing a conference. However, the Dolphins really dominated this series from 1987 through 2000, going 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in that stretch. Cincinnati has since struck back though, winning 16-13 in 2004 and 38-25 in 2007. That cover in South Beach in ’07 marked just the second cover in this series for the Bengals since before Dan Marino was quarterbacking the team.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Carolina Panthers @ St. Louis Rams
NFL Trends of Note
Carolina is 10-3 ATS in its L/13 against the NFC
The Panthers are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 on the road
The Rams have failed to cover a spread in this series since 2001

Series History
These two teams really don’t like each other, and it was really proven in the infamous double overtime game in the 2004 playoffs when WR Steve Smith ended the Rams’ season with a longest touchdown grab. That started a four game winning streak SU for the Panthers in this series of these former NFC West rivals. The “Greatest Show on Turf” does have a 48-14 win in 2001 to show for its work, but that was the last time that the Rams covered a spread in this series.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Jacksonville Jaguars @ Dallas Cowboys
NFL Trends of Note
The Jags are just 2-8 ATS in the L/10 seasons in Week 8
Jacksonville is 2-8 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a losing record
Dallas has covered two of the four all-time meetings with the Jags

Series History
There isn’t much of a history here to look at, but these teams have put on four games that have all looked very, very similar. The home team is 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS, and both teams have a pair of victories. All four games featured between 40 and 48 points, with the winning team scoring between 21 and 26 and the losing team scoring between 17 and 22.

Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 PM ET: Buffalo Bills @ Kansas City Chiefs
NFL Trends of Note
The Bills are 10-4 ATS in their L/14 road games
Buffalo is 6-13 ATS in its L/19 against teams with a winning record
KC is 7-1 ATS in its L/8 overall

Series History
Ever since the 1994 AFC Championship Game that sent the Bills to the Super Bowl, Buffalo has really dominated this series. You have to go back to 2003 to find the last time that the Chiefs won a game in this series (and that was by the ever so popular score of 38-5), and you won’t find a win at Ralph Wilson Stadium since before the Bills became good. Buffalo has played here at Arrowhead in each of the L/2 seasons, and has victories in both games. Don’t expect it to score anywhere near the 54 that it put on the board in 2008, though.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Tennessee Titans @ San Diego Chargers
NFL Trends of Note
The Titans are 9-2 ATS in the L/11 seasons in Week 8
San Diego is 2-7 ATS in its L/9 played in October
The Chargers have covered five straight in this series

Series History
The Bolts don’t have a heck of a lot going for them right now, but perhaps the fact that they have never lost to this franchise SU or ATS since it was known as the Houston Oilers might cheer them up. On Christmas Day last year, the Bolts pasted Tennessee 42-17 at LP Field. The last time the Oilers franchise won here was in 1990 at the old Jack Murphy Stadium. The Titans/Oilers haven’t scored more than 17 points in a game in this series since the 1980s!

Sunday, October 31st, 4:15 PM ET: Seattle Seahawks @ Oakland Raiders
NFL Trends of Note
Seattle is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 played on grass
The Seahawks are 2-10 ATS in their L/12 road games
Oakland is 16-36 ATS in its L/52 played at the Black Hole

Series History
The last time a team won two consecutive games in this series, the Seahawks were playing in the AFC West. Seattle has 16-0 and 34-27 wins at home against the Raiders since 2001, but 31-17 and 38-14 losses on the road in that stretch as well. The two teams are virtually split down the middle at 10-10 ATS since 1993, with Oakland holding a very slender 11-9 SU edge. The last time the Seahawks won at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum? 1997, 22-21.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Minnesota Vikings @ New England Patriots
NFL Trends of Note
The Vikes are 10-3 ATS in their L/13 following an SU defeat
The Pats are 21-6 ATS in their L/27 after picking up less than 250 total yards of offense in their previous game
New England is 24-7-2 ATS in its L/33 played in October

Series History
There are a lot of question marks here revolving around Brett Favre and whether he’ll play against the Pats, but our guess is that he’ll trudge out there, just to keep the streak alive. The streak that Minnesota is trying to get going again is its cover streak against the Patriots. The Vikings lost 31-7 at the Metrodome in 2006 in the most recent meeting, but before that, they had gone 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS dating back to 1994.

Sunday, October 31st, 4:05 PM ET: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Arizona Cardinals
NFL Trends of Note
The Cards are 2-8 ATS in their L/10 played in Week 8
Arizona is 8-2 ATS in its L/10 played in October
The Bucs are 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS in this series since 1989

Series History
We hope that you’re not looking for a pretty game when these two teams meet on Sunday. In fact, there hasn’t been a game hit the 40s between these teams since 1988, and that was the first time that the Cardinals played Tampa Bay with their home residing in the desert. Since the Cards moved from St. Louis, Tampa Bay has only played here four times, going 2-2 SU and ATS. The impressive part about that? The Bucs have never scored more than 14 points in a game here!

Sunday, October 31st, 8:20 PM ET: Pittsburgh Steelers @ New Orleans Saints
NFL Trends of Note
Pittsburgh is 5-2-1 ATS in its L/8 overall
The Saints are 2-8 ATS in their L/10 played on field turf
New Orleans is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record

Series History
This meeting between the last two Super Bowl champs doesn’t have a heck of a lot of history. In fact, these two have only cracked skulls seven times in the last 30 years! Pittsburgh does own a 4-3 SU edge and is 4-2-1 ATS in those seven games, though its most recent win in the Bayou came back in 1990. The last meeting of these teams was a far more entertaining game, a 38-31 win for the visiting Steelers, who just narrowly covered the six point NFL betting line.

Monday, November 1st, 8:30 PM ET: Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts
NFL Trends of Note
The Texans are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 seasons in Week 8
Indianapolis is 7-1-2 ATS in its L/10 against teams with a winning record
The Colts are 9-4-1 ATS in their L/13 versus AFC foes

Series History
This is the biggest game in the history of the Houston Texans, and it’s not a stretch to say that. They have never won a game here in Indianapolis, and this is the first chance that they really have to post a season sweep of the big kahuna of their division. Houston won 34-24 earlier this year at home against the Colts, earning just their third all time win in this series, but they have covered three of the L/4 meetings and could be set to really bust out as a team on the rise capable of making the playoffs.

Week 8 college football betting is here! Bankroll Sports is back with more NCAA football picks for Week 8 of the year, but before we do that, we need to take a look at the important trends and history that the teams that are facing against each other this week.

Thursday, October 21st: UCLA Bruins @ Oregon Ducks
NCAA Football Trends of Note
UCLA is 1-7 ATS in its L/8 played in October
The Ducks are 8-2 ATS in their L/10 at home
The underdog is 6-2 ATS in the L/8 in this series

Series History
That wasn’t the case last year though, as the Ducks pounded the Bruins 24-10 at the Rose Bowl for their seventh outright victory in their L/9 tries. UCLA hasn’t really been taken behind the shed in recent years, losing by more than those two TDs most recently in 2003, so the prospects of an absolutely blowout are minimum for the Ducks if history repeats itself. Oregon is going to look to break a streak that dates back into the 1990s of consecutive games against the Bruins without scoring more than 31 points.

Friday, October 22nd: South Florida Bulls @ Cincinnati Bearcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bearcats are 3-8 ATS in their L/11 overall
Cincinnati is 9-4 ATS in its L/13 played in the Big East
South Florida has failed to cover a spread in this series since 2003

Series History
Yikes. The Bulls have just been absolutely run over by Cincinnati since this series got started in 2003. USF won the first duel 24-17 in overtime as 3.5 point favorites, but since that point, it has really been all one way traffic. The Bearcats have only been defeated once, with that coming in 2005 as 22 point underdogs, and they have absolutely destroyed the college football spreads by double digits in each of the L/4 years.

Saturday, October 23rd: Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Navy Midshipmen
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Irish are just 1-10-2 ATS in their L/13 games as favorites
Navy is 4-0 ATS in its L/4 against teams with a winning record
The Middies are 7-3 ATS in their L/10 as dogs of between 3.5 and 10 points

Series History
Once upon a time, Notre Dame simply never lost to Navy. That all ended in 2007 in South Bend, when the Middies broke the dastardly losing streak. The bad news for the Naval Academy is that it still hasn’t won a game outside of South Bend in this series since well before most of us were born. The good news is that this one isn’t going to be in Annapolis, rather at New Meadowlands Stadium, where the Midshipmen hope that new found success comes. The road team is 14-1 ATS in the L/15 in this series, and though we have a feeling that this will look more like a legitimate neutral site venue, the Irish are technically the road team on Saturday.

Saturday, October 23rd: Syracuse Orange @ West Virginia Mountaineers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Orange are 5-1 ATS in their L/6 on the road against teams with winning home records
West Virginia has covered four straight games in conference
The ‘Neers are 6-0 ATS in their L/6 against teams with winning records

Series History
It’s hard to think that we are classifying Syracuse as a team with a winning record six games into the season, but here we are! The ‘Cuse haven’t won a game in this series since 2000 and will be looking to avoid the full decade sweep. Last year, the Mountaineers had no issues at the Carrier Dome, winning 34-14. West Virginia has failed to cover back to back in this series in Morgantown, but this is also the first time since 2002 in which the college football odds don’t feature at least a 15 point spread that it has to cover.

Saturday, October 23rd: Purdue Boilermakers @ Ohio State Buckeyes
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Buckeyes are 10-1 ATS in their L/11 home games and 4-0 ATS there this season
Ohio State is 44-20 ATS in its L/64 overall
The Boilers are 5-1 ATS over the L/6 meetings with OSU

Series History
Last year, the Boilermakers pulled off the upset that essentially knocked the Buckeyes out of the National Championship Game. Things would have been significantly more interesting without the 26-18 defeat in Lafayette, and you can bet that OSU is going to be out for blood looking to avenge that defeat. The Buckeyes have really only posted one truly dominating effort in this series since 2001, a 23-7 win in 2007. However, that ’01 triumph was the last time that they scored more than 18 points in this series. For whatever reason, Purdue has just had the Buckeyes’ numbers.

Saturday, October 23rd: Michigan State Spartans @ Northwestern Wildcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Michigan State has gone 9-4 ATS in its L/13 as favorites of between 3.5 and 10 points
Michigan State is 1-6 ATS in its L/7 following a bye week
The Wildcats are 12-4 ATS in their L/16 after an SU defeat

Series History
Sparty hasn’t lost a game in Evanston since 2001, something that it is certainly going to want to keep up in order to keep its National Championship hopes alive. These two tend to put on a heck of a show, though. Last year’s 24-14 win for MSU was a bit of a snoozer, but the three meetings before that all featured games decided by a touchdown or less, and all three were definitely back and forth affairs. The Spartans haven’t been held under 24 points in a game in this series since 2000, but the 14 points for Northwestern last year was the first time it had been kept under 20 since getting shutout at home in 1999.

Saturday, October 23rd: Ole Miss Rebels @ Arkansas Razorbacks
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Rebels are 11-5 ATS in their L/16 road games
Arkansas is 7-3 ATS in its L/10 played in October
The Hogs are 5-1 ATS in the L/6 in this series

Series History
Of course, that one loss came last year in a 30-17 triumph for Ole Miss that many thought could be the springboard for its season. Think again. The Razorbacks were clearly a dominating team in this series from 2004 until 2007, holding the Rebels to just 31 points in those four meetings. The L/4 and six of the L/7 clashes have gone ‘under’ the ‘total’ and there hasn’t been a game played to more than 52 points in this series since 2002 when there were 76 points put on the board. Of course, that pales in comparison to the 58-56 overtime thriller in Oxford in 2001.

Saturday, October 23rd: Wisconsin Badgers @ Iowa Hawkeyes
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Wisconsin is 3-8 ATS in its L/11 against teams with a winning record
Iowa is 6-2 ATS in its L/8 in conference
The Badgers are just 1-7 ATS in their L/8 in this series

Series History
And that’s terrible news for a team that just knocked off the No. 1 team in the country. Last week, we saw the South Carolina Gamecocks make teams that just beat the top team in the land drop to 0-1 SU and ATS the next week, and Wisky could be suffering the same fate. As for this series, the 20-10 win for Iowa last year really set the table for its fantastic season. The Badgers haven’t won a game here at Kinnick Stadium since 2006 and haven’t won one by more than a TD in well over a decade. Seven of the L/10 meetings have been decided by ten points or less, so expect yet another close one on Saturday.

Saturday, October 23rd: Kansas State Wildcats @ Baylor Bears
NCAA Football Trends of Note
KSU is 7-2 ATS in its L/9 games played in the Big XII
Baylor is 9-3 ATS in its L/12 against teams with a winning record
The Bears are just 2-4 ATS in this series since 1998

Series History
It’s hard to think that the Bears are actually favored in this series, as they have been at least 26.5 point underdogs in five of the six meetings between the two squads. Needless to say, the only win in this series for Baylor came in 2006 as short one point underdogs by the count of 17-3. K-State has dropped at least 38 points on the board in five of the six meetings and has averaged 38.8 points per game. Baylor, on the other hand, has only averaged 10.5 points per game and hasn’t scored more than 17 in any given game against the Wildcats. That will have to change on Saturday if they hope to pick up their crucial sixth win to go bowling.

Saturday, October 23rd: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets @ Clemson Tigers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Jackets are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 played in October
Georgia Tech is 7-2 ATS in its L/9 road games
The road team is 9-3 ATS in the L/12 in this series

Series History
Thus, it should really come as no surprise that the underdog is 13-3 ATS in the L/16. If you like close games, you’ve come to the right place. Georgia Tech has won the L/4 clashes by a combined 22 points and none of the four have been separated by more than ten points. In fact, you have to go back into the 1990s to find the last time that the Ramblin’ Wreck won a game by more than ten in this series. Clemson had its period of dominance in the early part of the decade, but has certainly fallen off. These two met twice last season with G-Tech winning 39-34 in the ACC Championship Game and 30-27 in Atlanta.

Saturday, October 23rd: LSU Tigers @ Auburn Tigers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bayou Bengals are 13-5-1 ATS in their L/19 as underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points
LSU is 3-9 ATS in its L/12 following an SU win of at least 20 points
Auburn is 8-3-1 ATS in its L/12 games after scoring at least 40

Series History
This Tiger tale is a crucial one in which the SEC West champ might be decided. LSU has won the L/2 encounters, including last year’s 31-10 victory at home. No team has scored more than 31 in a game in this series since 2000 and hasn’t scored more than 34 since deep into the 1990s. Needless to say, eight of the L/10 meetings have failed to go past the number, and there have been a ton of close games. Before last year’s 21 point margin of victory, the previous five meetings had been decided by a total of 19 points.

Saturday, October 23rd: Nebraska Cornhuskers @ Oklahoma State Cowboys
NCAA Football Trends of Note
Nebraska is 5-2 ATS in its L/7 following an SU loss
The Cornhuskers are 7-1 ATS in their L/8 road games against teams with winning home records
The Pokes are 12-3-1 ATS in their L/16 played in the month of October

Series History
A series that was once dominated by Nebraska really started to turn around in the 1998 season. That year, Okie State only lost by seven to a team that it had never really had any luck against, and though it was beaten down by 24 points the next year, it started a string of covers in five out of six games up to the present. These squads haven’t met since 2007, and the Cowboys have won the L/2 meetings by the aggregate score of 86-43. The underdog has covered five out of six as well in this series. Oklahoma State hasn’t been favored in a game in this series since the formation of the Big XII.

Saturday, October 23rd: Alabama Crimson Tide @ Tennessee Volunteers
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Tide have covered all four games this season played against teams with losing records
Alabama is 9-4 ATS in its L/13 road games
The Vols are 8-3 ATS in their L/14 as double digit underdogs

Series History
The Tide had dominated this series from 2004 until 2008, as they had gone 3-2 SU and 4-0-1 ATS in that stretch. Unfortunately for them, that dominance ended last year when it took a big time defensive effort to fend off what would’ve been the only defeat of the year for them. The 12-10 result marked the fifth time in the L/7 meetings that a game was decided by one score. This has always been a low scoring series, as Tennessee has been held to 17 points or less in six straight, while Alabama has only broken into the 20s twice in that stretch as well.

Saturday, October 23rd: South Carolina Gamecocks @ Vanderbilt Commodores
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Gamecocks are 2-6 ATS in their L/8 played in the month of October
Vanderbilt is 2-7 ATS in its L/9 played in this month of the year
The Commodores are 3-9 ATS in their L/12 home games

Series History
There really aren’t many positive college football trends to point to for either one of these teams, but amazingly, both are still right there for the race in the SEC East. Vandy has had South Carolina’s number, covering three straight in this series and winning two of the three, including a ‘W’ in Columbia back in 2007 as 13 point pups. Don’t expect to see much in the way of points here, as South Carolina hasn’t topped 17 since 2006, while Vandy is only averaging 16.0 points per game in its L/3 against the Cocks. Prior to 2007, South Carolina hadn’t lost a game in this series.

Saturday, October 23rd: North Carolina Tar Heels @ Miami Hurricanes
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Tar Heels are 6-2 ATS in their L/8 played in the ACC
Miami is only 10-21-1 ATS in its L/32 games played at home
The Canes have never covered a spread against North Carolina

Series History
Amazingly, that means more bad news for “The U” is coming. The Canes did win in 2005 and 2006 in this series outright, but only once were they good enough to even push the number, that coming in ’06 in a 27-7 home win. The big upset came right away in this series, as the Tar Heels captured a 31-28 victory in 2004 at home as three TD pups to set the stage for a brutal rivalry to open up. UNC has never been favored in this series, and this is no exception, yet it has four wins in six tries. The L/3 have all been decided by less than double digits.

Saturday, October 23rd: Georgia Bulldogs @ Kentucky Wildcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Bulldogs are 2-6-1 ATS in their L/9 following an ATS victory
Kentucky is 5-2 ATS in its L/7 overall
The Wildcats have covered four straight home games

Series History
Once again, we have an amazing situation where we have two teams that have no business competing for a BCS bid doing so due to the fact that the SEC East is down on the season. Kentucky has held its own in this series after getting dominated for the better part of a decade, as it has suddenly gone 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS in the L/4 years. The Cats haven’t been favored in this series dating back to the 1990s, and this is as close as the spread has been since 2002. UK won last year 34-27 “Between the Hedges, and has only won one home game in this series since the 1990s.

Saturday, October 23rd: Air Force Falcons @ TCU Horned Frogs
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The home team has covered the L/4 in this series
TCU is 9-4 ATS in its L/13 played on grass
The Horned Frogs are 47-22 ATS in their L/69 home games

Series History
Air Force does have a win in this series back in 2007, but that was the only victory against TCU since 1987. Since that point, the Horned Frogs are 5-2 ATS, though the Falcons have hung tough in two of the L/3. It seems like this encounter is always either incredibly close or separated by five miles. Three of the L/6 meetings since 1998 have been decided by three points or less. The other three have resulted in wins of at least 24 points for the Horned Frogs. They’ll need another ‘W’ of that type of size to beat the college football odds on Saturday.

Series History
The last time these two teams met, the Sooners laid the smack down on Mizzou to the tune of 62-21. The year before in ’07 in the Big XII Championship Game, OU won 38-17 in what amounted to be a de facto No. 1 vs. No 2. game at the time. Mizzou hasn’t won a game in this series since 1998 with Oklahoma winning here in Columbia in 2006 (26-10), 2002 (31-24), and 1995 (13-9) in the interim. The Sooners have averaged scoring 38.4 points per game on this seven game winning streak in this series and haven’t been held under 26 points in any of the seven games.

Saturday, October 23rd: Washington Huskies @ Arizona Wildcats
NCAA Football Trends of Note
The Huskies are 3-9 ATS in their L/12 games on the road
Washington is 9-19 ATS in its L/28 overall
Arizona is 14-6 ATS in its L/20 home games

Series History
Arizona dominated this series early in the decade from an ATS standpoint but couldn’t win a game to save its life. That changed in 2003 when it pulled a huge upset, a 27-22 win as 15 point underdogs. The five game ATS winning streak stopped in 2005 with Washington pulling an almost as impressive 38-14 upset off here in the desert. The Huskies have only been beaten once here since that point, a 48-14 beat down two years ago. U-Dub fired back with a 36-33 win last year in Seattle.
