College Football Week 9 Underdogs

The Prez is one of the practiced college football handicappers we have brought on board this site to help our visitors win. Take a look at four big underdogs he likes this weekend, but if you are really ready to cash in, take a look atthe top plays he has for sale on the premium side.

Vanderbilt (+35) at Florida:
Florida is already in the SEC title game and this is their last SEC home game. It comes after the crucial rivalry game with Georgia. And the lone remaining test on their schedule comes next week at the Gamecocks. Also, star linebacker Brandon Spikes, as you in all likelihood know by now, is suspended for the first half of this game after eye-raking a Georgia player on purpose last weekend. And how can Florida not be confident here? It has won 18 in a row in the series, while the Commodores have lost five games in a row this year. Still, they did find some offense for once last week against a solid Yellow Jacket team. Senior Mackenzi Adams starts at QB for the Commodores. He was 12-of-22 for 152 yards Saturday in relief of Larry Smith, who came up hurt at the end of a 35-yard run.

San Diego State (+24.5) vs. Texas Christian:
There is only one game remaining on TCU’s docket keeping the Frogs from their first BCS bowl, and that’s next week against Utah. Therefore, performing in serene San Diego might have TCU’s players a tad unfocused on the mission at hand. SDSU is not a terrible team and is 3-1 at home, with the sole defeat to Brigham Young. The last two times TCU played at SDSU, it was fortuitous to win: The Frogs were tied at 13 going into the final quarter in 2005 and won 23-20 and in 2007 they were down 17-0 in the first quarter before having a big rally for a 45-33 victory.

Central Florida (+36.5) at Texas:
The Horns follow a three-week stretch of Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, and now a gimme comes calling. But I would caution you that Central Florida is a strong squad – its only defeats coming to Southern Miss, East Carolina and Miami, all expected bowl teams. Two seasons ago in Florida, Texas only won by a field goal. The Golden Knights boast the nation’s seventh-best rush defense at 87.8 yards per game and are sixth with 3.3 sacks a contest. They stay within 28.

Washington State (+32.5) at Arizona:
The Cougars were my only winner last week, so I am sticking with them again. This calls nicely as an Arizona letdown. The Wildcats have their highest ranking in nine seasons and will be playing their third consecutive home game but then hit the gauntlet of their docket after this week: at Cal, vs. Oregon, at Arizona State, at USC. The Cougars have lost three straight in the series and fell by 31 at home last year. If Wazzu can just stay close in the first quarter, they will cover here: The Cougars have been outscored in that quarter 121-3.
