We like the Ohio State Buckeyes to defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the most important ones:

The Buckeyes are title contenders whilst the Hawkeyes are not.

Iowa relies on their rush attack to gain yards. Ohio State's got one of the best rushing defenses in the entire country, allowing just 61.8 yards on the ground per game.)

Ohio State have never lost as a home favorite against Iowa. They are 8-0 SU / 6-2 ATS in those games.

The Hawkeyes are only 2-4 ATS over their last six games dating back to last season.

In their last 17 games played in the month of October, the Buckeyes are 13-3-1 ATS.

Jeremiah Smith is the best receiving prospect out of high-school in the Top247 era (since 2000.) Him and Emeka Egbuka will dominate against a much weaker Iowa pass defense.

All in all, this will be a blowout. Ohio State rolls on Saturday.

We like the Cleveland Guardians to defeat the Detroit Tigers on Saturday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Even though Detroit was able to sweep the Astros in their Wildcard series, I don't see them continuing their success against Cleveland.

The Guardians have some of the best pitching in the MLB and will limit runs all series long against this sub-par Detroit lineup.

In their last five games against each other, the Guardians have won four of them.

Tanner Bibee will start for Cleveland today. His last two starts against Detroit have both ended up in a CLE win.

Pitching has been Detroits strength too. But, it's just a matter of time before they run out of steam with all of the pitchers they use.

Cleveland is the better side and we expect them to win Game 1 and take a series lead.

We like the Army Black Nights to defeat the Tulsa Golden Hurricane on Saturday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Army enters week 6 with a 4-0 record on the season. Tulsa is just 2-3.

Tulsa is allowing tons of yards while Army leads the entire nation in rushing yards per game.

The Black Knigths own a perfect 5-0 ATS record over their last five games played against conference opponents (AAC.) They've also covered the spread in six straight games overall.

The Golden Hurricane are 0-5 ATS over their last five home games.

Tulsa lost their lone home game so far by 35 points against Oklahoma State. Army might not be as strong as OKST. But, they are explosive and will pose a different type of challenge.

Army's run offense will prove to be too much to handle for Tulsa this Saturday. Lay the points.

We like the Navy Midshipmen @ Air Force Falcons game to stay UNDER the total on Saturday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

We all know that these teams love to run the ball in their unique option style offenses. That means we will see a lot of the clock being chewed in today's encounter.

Since 2014, the UNDER in all service academy games is 26-3-1. That's a trend you don't see very often.

At home this season, Air Forces have allowed an average of just 11.5 points per game.

Navy is playing a lot more aggressive this season, but look for them to go back to ground and pound in this one for most of the game.

The Midshipmen allowed just three points in the first half last game and let up in the second half a bit. Don't expect them to let up in this game as Air Force is much better than their record suggests.

When these teams have met recently, they've seen three straight UNDER's. The UNDER is also 9-2-1 since 2012 when these two teams play each other.

All signs point towards another low scoring game on Saturday.

AAA Sports

We like the Duke Blue Devils @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to stay UNDER the total on Saturday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Blue Devils enter this game as nearly a double digit underdog despite being 5-0. That should tell you something about the Yellow Jackets defense.

Both Duke and Georgia Tech have seen more UNDER's than OVER's this season so far.

Georgia Tech ranks 18th in FBS allowing just 90.2 rushing yards per game. Duke ranks 18th in FBS in passing defense allowing just 155.8 yards through the air a game.

Both of the past two meetings between Duke/GT have stayed UNDER the total.

The UNDER is also 7-2 in their last nine matchups against each other when Georgia Tech is the home favorite.

We are expecting a game featuring a lot of punts in this game on Saturday. Look for these teams to stay UNDER the total.

We like the Arizona Wildcats to defeat the Texas Tech Red Raiders for a number of reasons. Here are some of the most important ones.

Texas Tech comes into this game having lost their lone road game this season by a score of 37-16 against Washington State.

After last week's gigantic win against Utah (23-10 on the road,) this Arizona team is filled with confidence.

Texas Tech has allowed 309.4 passing yards per game this season which happens to be third worst in FBS. Arizona averages 265.0 passing yards per game which ranks T-40 with Alabama.

Arizona has won the only matchup between these teams of all time. The score was 28-14 in 2019.

With a game at BYU next weekend, the Wildcats will need to make sure they win this game, as they more than likely will be an underdog in that game.

We're backing the home favorite on Saturday night. The play is on Arizona.
