Las Vegas, NV
Miami -3 -105, 5 units
Miami has the much better defense allowing just 264 ypg compared to the 393 allowed by the Pitt defense. Panthers haven't proven they can stop the run all year so I think Miami can move the ball as I expect their OL to control the line of scrimmage. While their offense has struggled, Miami's defense has been very good all year and I think they can put enough pressure on Rutherford to force him into some turnovers. Miami has dominated this series and I think they win by at least 10 points here.

Syracuse -5.5 -105, 4 units
While Rutgers has put together a nice 9-1 record ATS this season, there have been few instances where they were getting this few points. They really struggle against the run giving up 175 rush ypg and 4.4 ypr and they haven't fared well against running teams giving up 34 to Miami, 35 to BC, 34 to WV, and 48 to VT. I think Reyes will have a huge game and like the Orangemen to get an easy win as they still have a chance to get bowl eligible with a win this week and a win at home against the Irish next week.

Virginia Tech +1 -105, 4 units
Think the Hokies will be much better this week now that they are sticking with one QB. Virginia doesn't run the ball real well and I don't think their short passing game will be able to be sustained against the Hokies' defense for long drives. VT should be able to control field position as Virginia is not very good in the return game and their punter is avg. under 35 yards per punt. Hokies have won the last 4 meetings pretty easily and I look for that to continue here.

Georgia Tech +9 -105, 4 units
Georgia's offense has not done much this season and the Jackets' defense has been pretty good for the most part as they were able to hold Auburn to 3, NC St. to 21, and Maryland to 3 at home. I think Ball can create enough plays with his scrambling ability for GT to score enough to get the cover at home.

UNLV +1 -105, 2 units
Wyoming has struggled to stop the run all year allowing 230 rush ypg and 4.9 ypr and UNLV has a couple of decent backs in Croom and Dorsey. UNLV has won the last 4 meetings and think they have the much better defense so like the Rebs to get the win.
