The Missouri Tigers (5-2 SU, 3-3 ATS) have just come off a couple of games that were murder for them. They will try to take advantage of a highly winnable home game on Saturday when they play host to the Colorado Buffaloes (4-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Big 12 Conference that is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 PM ET at Memorial Stadium (artificial turf) in Columbia, MO.
This was supposed to be an improved season for Temple with 22 starters back, but three close losses and an injury to quarterback Adam DiMichele have hurt their chances.
Temple (2-5) will try to turn it around tonight when they host Ohio as three-point favorites at Sportsbook.com. The Total is 42.5 points. ESPN2 will broadcast the game starting at 8 pm ET.

Is it time to fade the picks in Quick Hits?
After giving bettors a number of winning weeks last season, Cras is having a tough time figuring out the increasingly complicated NCAA schedule and the numerous upsets of the top-ranked teams.
Even he admits that this week’s picks may be worth a fade after a disappointing 1-3 record last Saturday.
Here’s what he’s thinking this week:
The two teams who met in the ACC championship game last season will meet up again on Saturday, as the Boston College Eagles (4-1 SU, 2-2 ATS) play host to the Virginia Tech Hokies (5-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) in NCAA college football betting action that is set to get underway at 8 PM ET at Alumni Stadium (artificial turf) in Chestnut Hill, MA.
The Purdue Boilermakers (2-4 SU, 2-2-1 ATS) have been overwhelmed by a difficult early schedule. On Saturday they will try to start turning things around when they face the Wildcats of Northwestern (5-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) in NCAA football action in the Big Ten Conference, scheduled to get underway at Noon ET at Ryan Field (natural turf) in Evanston, IL.
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane (6-0 SU, 4-1 ATS) has been sailing along with one of the most explosive offenses in the country. On Saturday the Hurricane hopes it doesn’t lose momentum as it touches ground, as it hosts the MIners of the University of Texas at El Paso (3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS) in an NCAA college football matchup that is slated to kick off at 8 PM ET at Chapman Stadium (artificial turf) in Tulsa, OK.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders (6-0 SU, 2-1-1 ATS) are having a fantastic season, undefeated and still very much in the running for the national championship. On Saturday they take to the road, traveling to College Station to meet up with the Aggies of Texas A&M (2-4 SU, 1-5 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Big 12 Conference, scheduled to take place at Noon ET at Kyle Field (natural turf).
The USC Trojans (4-1 SU & ATS), who after two consecutive blowout victories like to think they;re back on a path to a possible national title game, will engage in a workout up in Pullman, WA on Saturday when they take on the outmanned Washington State Cougars (1-6 SU, 0-6 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Pacific-10 Conference, scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM ET at Martin Stadium (artificial turf)
Chargers to Get Snuffed By Bills
Leave it to J.P. Losman to ruin an undefeated season. The Bills are playing host to one of the most untrustworthy teams in NFL betting. The Chargers are 3-2-1 ATS, but most of those spread victories have come at home, or against the Raiders. The Bills are one of the steadier teams in the league, and have both Trent Edwards and Roscoe Parrish returning to the lineup this week.
The Mean Green of North Texas (0-6 SU, 1-5 ATS) will try to put their first win of the season on the board on Saturday when they lock horns with the Warhawks of Louisiana-Monroe (1-5 SU, 2-3 ATS) in a Sun Belt Conference game in NCAA football that is scheduled for 7 PM ET at Malone Stadium (natural turf) in Monroe, LA.

The Stanford Cardinal (4-3 SU & ATS) crept over the .500 mark last week with its win over Arizona. This weekend they try to move closer to bowl eligibility when they visit southern California to play the UCLA Bruins (2-4 SU, 4-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Pacific-10 Conference that is set to begin at 4 PM ET at the Rose Bowl (natural turf) in Pasadena, CA.
The books did well last week on the NFL betting board, with favorites going an almost even 8-6 against the number. If that continues, bettors need to make sure they’re handicapping the right games because simply keeping track of sweeping, overarching trends won’t get your wallet padded. With that in mind, here’s three matchups on Sunday that are seeing serious action from pigskin players:
The Arkansas Razorbacks (3-3 SU, 1-4 ATS) are coming off a big upset win, and on Saturday they are set to tangle with the defensively-stout Kentucky Wildcats (4-2 SU, 3-2 ATS) in NCAA college football action in the Southeastern Conference that is set to kick off at 7 PM ET at Commonwealth Stadium (natural turf) in Lexington, KY.
A pair of teams who are still very much in the running for the SEC title will do battle on Saturday when the Georgia Bulldogs (5-1 SU, 2-1-2 ATS) play host to the Vanderbilt Commodores (5-1 SU & ATS) in NCAA college football action that is scheduled to begin at 12:30 PM ET at Sanford Stadium (natural turf) in Athens, GA.
