LA Dodgers at Atlanta 7:20 ET

Braves over Dodgers- At the season’s onset these were the two clubs that I expected to battle for the NL pennant and I still believe that these will be the last two standing when the playoffs begin. Atlanta has had a year beset with injuries but the healthy return of Chris Sale (16-3, 2.38 ERA) is keeping the Braves alive. Since June 1 Sale has made 17 starts and has not allowed more than two runs in any start. He has allowed two runs seven times, one run six times and shutout the opposition five times. In 88 innings he has surrendered just 71 hits and has 131 strikeouts. Enough said! Take ATLANTA!

LSU at South Carolina 12:00 ET

Tigers (-) over Gamecocks- South Carolina came up with their biggest win in over a decade by pounding Kentucky and is now 2-0 as the also defeated Old Dominion in their opener. LSU of course has yet to show the level of play that we expected and is 0-2 ATS after their loss to Southern Cal and a non-cover 44-21 win over power Nicholls State as a 41-point favorite. Yet, the Tigers opened a 7-point favorite at South Carolina which raises some eyebrows as to why. Maybe it’s because the Tigers have won the last five meetings. They own the Gamecocks! Take LOUISIANA STATE!

Boston College at Missouri 12:45 ET

Tigers (-) over Eagles- Not only is Boston College 2-0 under Bill O’Brien but they have scored 94 points in two games while allowing just 13 points which were cored by Florida State. Last Saturday the Eagles flew over Duquesne 56-0 allowing only eight first downs and 135 total yards. BC threw the ball only 13 times and yet had four TD passes and had 569 offensive yards. But, if the Eagle landed the Tigers will have fowl for lunch. Florida State stinks and the Dukes are better off playing basketball. Saturday the Show Me Boys who are Number 6 will ground the Eagles. Take MISSOURI!

Central Florida at Texas Christian 7:30 ET

Knights (+) over Horned Frogs- Oh, how the mighty have fallen! TCU who played for the National Championship just 18 months ago is now barely favored at home against a foe that was 1-4 on the road in Big-12 action last season. The horny frogs are off their first shutout in seven years and yet are a not even rated a field better at home. TCU QB Josh Hoover has thrown for 620 yards and four touchdowns for the 2-0 club that are barely favored. This number as a close friend and great handicapper said to me...’it don’t make sense.’ I agree Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

Indiana at UCLA 7:30 ET

Hoosiers (-) over Bruins- UCLA is now at their lowest talent level according the oddsmakers in ages to the point that they are an underdog at home against a bottom feeder from the Big Ten. Indiana last played in Pasadena in 1968 and lost in the Rose Bowl to USC and managed to go 3-9 SU last season. Under new head coach Curt Cignetti the Hoosiers have allowed just 10 points against a pair of weak sisters and last week had their largest margin of victory since 1901. UCLA under new coach DeShaun Foster squeaked by Hawaii two weeks ago as the Rainbows had them on the ropes until the final quarter when three field goals overcame a 13-7 deficit. Take INDIANA!

Washington State at Washington 3:30 ET

Cougars (+) over Huskies- Washington has won 9-of-10 against Washington State including a 24-21 win at home last season as a 14.5-point favorite and have covered just three of the last 10 meetings. The Cougars last won against the Huskies in Washington in 2021 and last year out-gained the Huskies 381-306 in their three-point loss. These are the only members of the PAC-12 that remain which actually makes them the PAC-Two! Educators may be able to read but they can’t count. Count on WASHINGTON STATE!

West Virginia at Pittsburgh 3:30 ET

Mountaineers over Panthers- This matchup has been called the “Backyard Brawl” and it is the 107th meeting between the two rivals and the first since Pittsburgh joined the ACC in 2021. The Panthers lead the series 62-41-3 but the Mountaineers have won and covered four of the last five meetings including a year ago in Morgantown where as a 2.5-point favorite winning and covering 17-3 while allowing just 211 yards total offense. Pitt overcame a 24-3 deficit against Cincinnati last Saturday and scored three times in the final period with a field goal with 0:17 remaining. West Virginia bounced back from an opening loss to Penn State where they were totally out-classed by the Nittany Lions 34-12. Opening the favorite on the road is telling...take WEST VIRGINIA!
