And now we get to the main feature. After a week 3 that had little to offer (but the finale of Colorado vs Colorado State was fantastic), now comes week 4 with a Malone load of great games. We get six games featuring ranked teams playing each other plus barely unranked Clemson hosting Florida State.
Strap on your helmets, its going to be a great Saturday.
I went 3-3 last week making a small profit by taking home dog Florida on the money line. I think I’ll lean into that strategy this week starting with:
Clemson ML vs Florida State - Everyone remembers week 1 when FSU put a beat on LSU and Duke curb stomping Clemson. But what if Clemson didn't completely botch every goal line opportunity against Duke? What if LSU didn't do the same early against Florida State in a game the Tigers led at the half? Would Clemson be getting points at home.
And what about last week when FSU struggled to put away Boston College, a team that lost to Northern Illinois and Holy Cross. The Eagles exposed the Noles vulnerability against the run. An issue that haven’t fixed from last year.
Clemson’s veteran offensive line and RB Will Shipley will exploit this weakness. I’ll take the Tigers and put a quatloo on the money line at +110 .
And if I'm wrong, I'll tip my hat and say goodbye to an ACC dynasty. The kings is dead, hail the new king.

I've been having some nice returns on money line parlays. I'll put quatloo on a nooner ML parlay with
Kentucky ML @ Vanderbilt
Oklahoma ML @ Cincinnati and
Texas A&M ML vs Auburn - NC State transfer Devin Leary is returning to form since donning a Wildcat uniform. It will be an easy day for him. Vanderbilt has one of the worst secondary's in the nation.
Meanwhile the Dore's run game will go nowhere against Kentucky's defense. Vanderbilt's offense is one dimensional and will try to keep up through the air. Won't happen.
For the first time ever, Kentucky will start out 4-0 for three straight years.
Cincinnati lost its head coach to Wisconsin and a bunch of players to the NFL. They may have beaten Pitt but followed it up with a loss to the MAC Miami. QB Emory Jones threw two interceptions and completed just 52% of his passes in that game.
Compare that to QB Dillon Gabriel has 14 incompletions and 11 touchdown passes for the season, hitting on 83% of his passes.. Oklahoma is on a mission, They are 3-0 ATS and have outscored opponents 167-28. Its a big step up in competition, and it might be tighter than expected but the Sooners will come away with the win.
For Texas A&M it's a revenge game after last years humiliating 13-20 loss at Jordan Hare. Auburn has played a whole bunch of nothing and struggles to throw the ball. That's how Miami was able to beat A&M. Since coming to College Station, Jimbo is 14-6 ATS record (70%) when favored by more than a touchdown at home
The parlay calculates at -123, winning $82 for every $100 invested.

For the afternoon games I'll go with
Bucky Irving RB Oregon over 87.5 yards vs Colorado - It's sort of like Ali vs Frasier. Most people want the Ducks to shut down the loudmouth. Colorado may have talent at the skill positions, but in the great purge, they didn't bring in the hosses on the OL and DL. CSU exposed this last week by running all over the Buffs DL. Oregon will do the same.
I'm staying away from the spread. It's ripe for a backdoor cover. But I will invest in Irving, who has been averaging 8.0 yards per carry. He'll break a long one and get over 100 today.
The Ducks may not cover but I will put them in another money line parlay with
Oregon ML vs Colorado
Tennessee ML vs UTSA
Ohio ML @ Bowling Green and
South Alabama ML vs Central Michigan

UTSA has burned me too many times this year. Frank Harris has been playing hurt and may not play in this game. Easy tune up for the Vols at home
Ohio is the class of the MAC. The ferocious defense held Iowa State to a TD in a 7-3 win. QB Kevin Rourke is off to a slow start for the Bobcats but has played 3 pretty good defenses.
Expect this to be a low scoring game. The under 44.5 might be a good play too. Ohio has gone under 10 out of their last 15 while Bowling Green has gone under 5 of their last six.
South Alabama HC Kane Wommack is one of my favorite dark horse candidates to get the MSU HC spot. He's a defensive master mind. Last week, he nearly shut out Oklahoma State in a 33-7 win. State beat CMU 31-7, South Alabama will do better.
The Parlay calculates at -169 winning $59 for every $100 invested.

And in a ranked matchup I'll take another ML dog with
UCLA ML @ Utah - I've been a fan of Utah for a long time. The win close games with defense and wearing teams down. But I think their luck runs out this week. There are just too many injuries.
QB Cam Rising is dinged up and may not play. They are also missing TE Brant Kuithe, center Johnny Maea, DE Connor O’Toole CB JaTravis Broughton, DT Junior Tafuna, and WRs Devaughn Vele, Mycah Pittman, and Munir McClain.kicker Cole Becker. Even their kicker is out.
Meanwhile, Chip Kelly's ground game is rolling. RBs Carson Steele and T.J. Harden have formed a dynamic duo in the backfield. They’re each averaging more than 8 yards per carry with two touchdowns apiece.
I'll take the Bruins in an upset over the depleted Utes.
More to come
