Arizona is 2-7 against the spread over its last nine games whereas the Toledo Rockets are 1-4 ATS over their last five. You may want to avoid the unpredictable over\/under. The OVER is 16-7 over Toledo\u2019s last seven home games but the UNDER is 6-1 over the Wildcats\u2019 last seven.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Western Michigan vs Michigan State<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"sports betting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/\">Sports betting<\/a> sharps have to pick between the lesser of two evils in this all-Michigan matchup, as neither school has performed well against the spread of late. Western Michigan is just 2-8 ATS over its last 10 road games but Michigan State is only 3-7 over its last 10 at home. Something has to give.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miami (OH) vs (3) Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Miami Ohio Redhawks have a tall order against a Florida team anxious to show it can play without Tim Tebow. The Gators are 4-1 ATS over their last five at home and like to beat teams making long trips; they\u2019re 21-7 ATS in their last 28 matchups against non-conference opponents. Miami has lost five straight September games ATS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lafayette vs (21) Georgia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Could the Lafayette Ragin\u2019 Cajuns pull off an upset against the spread on Saturday afternoon? They\u2019re 5-2 ATS over their last seven September contests overall. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are not a spread-friendly team. They\u2019re 7-15 ATS over their last 15 and 1-4 ATS over their last five in September. The UNDER looks solid here, however. It\u2019s 4-1 over Lafayette\u2019s last five and 4-1-1 over Georgia\u2019s last six at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Illinois vs Missouri<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"NCAA football betting trends\" href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/index.php?PageID=69\">NCAA football betting trends<\/a> are ice-cold for Illinois and red-hot for Missouri here. Illinois is 4-11 ATS over its last 15 and 1-7 ATS over its last eight non-conference games. Meanwhile,\u00a0 Missouri has beaten seven straight spreads playing on turf and nine of its last 11 spreads in September. The kicker is the head-to-head record. Missouri has beaten the spread five straight times against Illinois.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember the days of the scorephone Tailgate Party when you&#8217;d get the famed &#8220;free trends&#8221;?
