The Rebels have lost 4 of their first 6 and are winless in SEC play. To make matters worse, the 52-7 drubbing they took by Alabama, Ole Miss lost DE Dorsey and CB Temple. The squad is just 1-7 ATS their L8 in SEC play. They rank 116th on offense. Whether suspended Bolden, Washington, Hawkins, and Moore are re-instated or not, it won’t make a difference. Every league opponent has rushed for over 200 yards on them and the Rebels defensive front is looking tired. Arkansas has had 2 weeks to rest and prepare here. Their offensive unit is one of the most productive in the nation. QB, Tyler Wilson has easily filled in the shoes of departed Ryan Mallett. The play-caller has tallied 1779 YP, a 64.9% completion rate, and a 12/3 TD/INT ratio. Their only loss was a competitive effort to Alabama. Since then, the Razorbacks won and covered over both Texas A&M and Auburn. Wilson has too many weapons and will have all day to pick apart the Mississippi defense. The Razorbacks are 6-1 ATS their L7 meetings over the Rebels, 9-1 ATS their L10 games played as a favorite, 13-3 ATS their L16 Conference games, and 10-3 ATS their L13 overall. The Rebels are 1-6 ATS their L7 games played at home, 1-5 ATS their L6 games played as a home ‘dog, 0-4 ATS their L4 Conference games, and 1-4 ATS their L5 overall. Take Arkansas.

NC State vs. Virginia
Prediction: NC State +5.5 (October 22nd 2011)
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS

I’m recommending a play on NC State on Saturday afternoon. No Russell Wilson? No problem. At least not in the Wolfpack’s passing game. Wilson, who threw 25 INTs the last two seasons combined, is off to Wisconsin, while new QB Mike Glennon has been taking much better care of the football. Glennon has connected on 64% of his passes, averaging 7.7 yards per attempt, with 16 TDs and only 4 INTs. I expect Glennon to have a strong game against Virginia on Saturday. The Cavaliers have played well, but must take on a diverse offense with no less than four dependable receivers, Glennon, and a solid RB in James Washington. NC State is coming off a bye week and will be well rested and prepared. The Cavs are off a big win over Ga Tech, but their previous wins have come against soft opposition. While they covered last week, they’re just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 ACC games. Meanwhile, the Pack have been a terrific underdog money-maker. They’re on a 27-11-1 ATS underdog run on the road, including 9-3-1 when getting 3 1/2 to 10 points. I’m backing NC State on Saturday. Thanks! GL! Scott. (Touthouse.com)

USC vs. Notre Dame
Prediction: Notre Dame -9 (October 22nd 2011)

Last November, Notre Dame snapped an 8-game losing streak against USC with a 20-16 victory in Los Angeles. I believe that win will serve as the turning point in this rivalry. The Irish haven’t played since Oct. 8, and this will be the first night game at Notre Dame Stadium since 1990. In other words, the Golden Domers will be chomping at the bit to get on the field, and they’ll be pumped up by the electric atmosphere. Bye weeks have typically treated the Irish well as they are 60-15-2 all-time following an off week. The Fighting Irish are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a bye week.

The USC defense has been extremely suspect against the pass. In fact, it ranks 105th in the country with 271.7 passing yards allowed per game. That likely doesn’t bode well for the Trojans. Led by QB Tommy Rees and WR Michael Floyd, Notre Dame has one of the best passing attacks in the country. Floyd will be a nightmare cover for the USC secondary. We’re talking about a guy who is tied for 6th with nearly 9 catches per game. He also ranks 13th nationally with 106.5 receiving yards per contest. Don’t be surprised if he makes some noise in the return game as well. Coach Kelly has said he’ll use Floyd as a returner this week.

The USC offense is pretty one-dimensional, and after losing leading rusher Marc Tyler to a shoulder injury, it will likely become even more pass happy. This will allow the Notre Dame front to put a hand in the dirt and really get after Matt Barkley.

There is also a strong situational element in support of our play. Plays against underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points off 2 straight wins against conference rivals, provided they have won 80% or more of their games on the season and are matched up against a team with a winning record, are 30-6 ATS the last 5 seasons. Teams fitting into this situation have lost by an average of 18.1 points. We’ll take Notre Dame.
