Most of them are the late games. As a warmup, let\u2019s look at some trends for the Thursday nighter and Saturday\u2019s early games.<\/p>\n<p>THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30<\/p>\n<p><strong>Texas A&amp;M (3-0) vs (24) Oklahoma State (3-0)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The OVER looks great in this matchup; it\u2019s 5-1 over the last six meetings and 4-0 over the last four meetings at Oklahoma State. Against the spread, bettors may lean toward Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are 11-4 ATS over their last 15 games as a home favorite whereas the Aggies are 17-36-1 ATS over their last 54 road games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) Ohio State (4-0) vs Illinois (2-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The spread <a title=\"online betting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.offshoreinsiders.com\/\">online betting<\/a> trends absolutely sizzle for Ohio State; I may as well just rhyme off the impressive list. 43-18 ATS over their last 61 games overall; 21-5 ATS over their last 26 road games; 9-1 ATS over their last 10 against teams with winning records; 8-0 ATS over their last eight games after accumulating more than 280 passing yards in their previous game. Wow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(17) Miami (2-1) vs Clemson (2-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Are the Miami Hurricanes chokers under pressure? They\u2019re just 12-25-1 ATS over their last 38 games as a favorite. Clemson is 19-7 ATS over its last 26 as an underdog \u2013 a trend that could trump its 1-4 ATS record over its last five home games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Virginia Tech (2-2) vs North Carolina State (4-0)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everyone keeps underestimating the N.C. State Wolfpack, who are 6-1 ATS over their last seven games as a home underdog. Virginia Tech, however, is 4-0 ATS over its last four games as a road favorite, so something has to give. The Hokies could also be riding high after shutting out Boston College on the road last week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Navy (2-1) vs Air Force (3-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Navy owns this rivalry at the <a title=\"sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_1206b_609\">sportsbook<\/a> in recent years, going 10-1 ATS over the last 11 meetings. The UNDER is 5-1 over the last six Navy\/Air Force matchups. Navy is 4-1 ATS over its last five games as an underdog and 13-3 ATS over its last 16 against the MWC, so the <a title=\"betting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.joeduffy.net\/\">betting<\/a> prognosis looks positive for the Midshipmen.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of big college football betting matchups between ranked teams pop up on the schedule this week.
