The undefeated Wake Forest Deamon Decons put their perfect 3-0 record on the line tonight at Virginia. Wake is coming off a nice win over Florida State last weekend, 35-14. They had a huge turnover day, taking away six times from Florida State to just two turnovers. They also had 89 offensive plays to just 51 by the Seminoles. Virginia is 2-1 after losing their first game of the season last week to North Carolina, 39-59. North Carolina came just one yard from 700 total yards of offense. Virginia had 577 yards themselves in the loss. But the rushing defense of Virginia was shredded for 392 yards and a 8.3 yards per carry average. Despite Virginia losing last week, they did so against one of the better teams in the conference. Wake is a decent team too, but Virginia will want to rebound after that poor defensive showing last week. And, home crowd means more this year with full stadiums again. I'll take the Cavaliers on the national spot light tonight. Play Virginia.

Liberty looks to go 4-0 as they travel to New York tonight to face the Syracuse Orange. Liberty has wins over Campbell, Troy and Old Dominion. The Flames had little issue with Old Dominion last week, 45-17, just covering the 27.5 point line. They held ODU to just 201 total yards to their own 424 yards. Syracuse is 2-1, but padded their stats last week against Albany, 62-24. They wracked-up 686 yards but still turned the ball over twice to just one take away. Their other win was against a poor Ohio team, 29-9. Their loss coming at the hands of Rutgers, 7-17. I'm looking at this last game by Syracuse. The one good team they played held them to just seven points. What does that tell me? This Syracuse team won't hold up well against Liberty tonight. Liberty has the 9th ranked defense right now, allowing just 234 yards through three games. They have only allowed three red zone incursions thus far in 12 quarters of play. I look for this Liberty defense to do just what Rutgers did, hold Syracuse down on offense. Play the UNDER

The Wild Wild NL West has just gotten closer with the Dodgers closing to one game of the division leading Giants. The loser of this division will get the top NL Wild card and host that game, but neither want that one and done position. The Dodgers begin a 3-game set here tonight at Arizona before returning home for their last games of the regular season against San Diego and then Milwaukee. LA Starts Tony Gonsolin tonight who is 2-1 in his 11 starts with a 2.43 ERA. Gonsolin has been very good, allowing two runs or fewer in 10 of his 11 starts. He will face Humberto Castellanos tonight who is 2-0 in his five starts with a 4.63 ERA. Gonsolin just too dominating for me to pass on him here tonight. I'll take the Dodgers and lay the Run Line.

 One of the last few Independent teams, Notre Dame, takes on the Big 10's Wisconsin here today from Madison. The Irish are 3-0, but it hasn't been an easy stretch. The Irish opened with a 3-point win over Florida State, then a 3-point win over Toledo before a more easy game last week in a win over Purdue, 27-13. Notre Dame's offense is ranked only 70th in the country with 408 yards per game. Wisconsin had last week off after beating Eastern Michigan the week before that, 34-7. They opened the season with a loss against Penn State, 10-16. Wisconsin has the 35th ranked offense with 442 yards average in teir two games. Have to wonder if the Badgers are looking a next week's Big 10 game at home vs Michigan. No one should ever look past the Irish though. Irish are a dog here on Saturday and I like taking dogs who I believe can win outright. I'll take the points here today. Play Notre Dame.

If there was already a big game in the SEC, this could be it. The Miss State Bulldogs are 2-1 and are coming off a loss at Memphis, 29-31 for their first loss. They opened the season with win over La Tech, 35-34 and then a win over NC State, 24-10. LSU is also 2-1, opening the season with a loss at home to UCLA, 27-38. They came back and beat McNeese State, 34-07 and then won at home vs Central Michigan last week, 49-21. The LSU rushing game has struggled, gaining just 84 yards vs Central Michigan and now ranks 120th in the county. Miss State has also struggled offensively, ranking 72nd in offense with 4-6 yards per game. The Bulldogs defense has been the strength of this team, ranking 46th nationally as they allow jut 317 yards. In addition, they have one of the lowest red zone efficiencies in the nation at just 37%. Only one TD has been scored against them in five red zone trips by the opposition. I look for Miss State's defense to be the difference here today. Play Miss State.
