NCAA Saturday Picks

NCAA Picks

One unit

Boston College +8.5

The Eagles are reeling and Clemson controls their own destiny but this game looks to me to be much closer than 8.5 points with Matt Ryan. Winds in the forecast but it will still be close. Boston College has won and 'covered' its last pair with Clemson. The Eagles are 6-1 as road dogs.
When Boston College team played as a Road team - With 6 day off - Coming off a Loss over Atlantic Coast opponent they are 12-3 ATS

Two Unit:

West Virginia -6


Oregon losing opens up some mighty big doors for WV in the BCS. Since the Big 12 will be beating up on each other it gives them a shot to move way up on the list. West Virginia has won and 'covered' in its last two trips to Cincinnati. The Mountaineers are 15-4-1 as road favorites and 17-6 ATS on the Big East road. West Virginia is 8-1 ATS away off an ATS loss
When West Virginia team played as a Road team - Playing on artificial surface - During the month of November - Coming off a win on artificial they are 7-3 ATS
Three Unit

Minnesota +11.5

Wisconsin is 0-4 ATS on the road this year and the Badgers are on a 5-0 'cover' run against the Gophers. Wisconsin has faltered in nine of 10 as double-digit road chalk. The gophers have reason to play at home in the last big game. When Wisconsin team played as Road team as a Favorite - Playing on artificial surface - Coming off a Home win they are 3-7 ATS.
When Minnesota team played as a 10.0 or more Underdog - After a division game - Scored more than 10 points in back to back games they are 10-6 ATS

Four Unit

Michigan St. +2.5

They don’t always play a complete game but the Spartans have played better on the grid iron lately and for the last game at home you know they will get up for this one! The small line indicates the lines makers think so too.
Trends:
Penn State: 1-9 ATS away after allowing 6 points or lessMichigan State: 15-5 ATS at home off a conference win

When Michigan State team played as Home team as an Underdog - Playing on Saturday - Coming off a Win over Big Ten opponent they are 7-3 ATS
