NCAA-F | West Virginia vs Iowa State
Play on: West Virginia +3½ -117 at betonline
Game Analysis

*Free Play on West Virginia* The Iowa State Cyclones have been better than expected, but I think the market has gone a little too crazy backing Iowa State here. They have gone from an underdog all the way up to 3.5 point favorites. They played Iowa closer than expected. The CyHawk game is always tight and low scoring. 

Iowa State was dominated at home by Utah last week. The stats in that one were even more lopsided than the final score. 

Hawkins is a dynamic quarterback who can beat you two ways. West Virginia is a run first team, but they are also first in passing play explosiveness. I think this is a good chance for West Virginia to bounce back from their disappointing loss at home last weekend. 

I'll grab the points and the underdog.

Take West Virginia.

NFL | Titans vs Ravens
Play on: Titans +11½ -110 at circa
Game Analysis

Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Tennessee Titans +11.5

This is a great time to 'buy low' on the Tennessee Titans after a 0-3 start.  After opening with a 13-point loss to the Jets, the Titans had their chances to win in the final seconds in each of their last two games.  They lost by 4 as 7-point dogs to the Eagles and by 5 as 2.5-point dogs to the Giants.

While the Titans are one of the healthiest teams in the NFL, the Ravens are dealing with a ton of injuries that do not warrant them being this big of a favorite.  They lost their top two centers in Pocic and Gwynn to injury last week and are down to a rookie 3rd-stringer.  LB Trey Hendrickson is out, while WR Zay Flowers and OT Ronnie Stanley are questionable.

The Ravens are vulnerable up the middle offensively now.  That makes this a particularly bad matchup for them going up against the biggest strength of the Titans, which is the interior of their defensive line led by Jeffery Simmons.  Robert Saleh will take advantage of this weakness for the Ravens and send plenty of pressure up the middle.

This is also a letdown spot for the Ravens.  They have the long flight back from Brazil after escaping with a last-second win over the Cowboys last week.  We see them come up flat as big favorites at home multiple times every season.  They already did it once losing outright to the Saints as 8.5-point favorites in Week 2.  They may find a way to win this game, but I fully expect it to be closer than this line suggests.

The Titans have a very good offensive line and a solid running game when their backs in Pollard and Spears are healthy.  It's supposed to rain throughout the game, so running the football and stopping the run will be very important.  I think Tennessee matches up well in both departments with the Ravens.  The rain will suppress scoring, which will help keep the Titans in this game.

The Titans average 4.2 yards per rush and allow 3.6 yards per rush this season.  Baltimore rushes for 5.2 yards per carry while allowing 4.1 per carry.  But the Ravens have played a very easy schedule of opposing defenses in the Colts, Cowboys and Saints.  This Tennessee defense will bet the best unit Baltimore has faced this season.

NFL teams that are 0-3 entering Week 4 up against a team with at least one win are 47-25-1 ATS since 2005.  I would not play all these teams blindly, but the Titans are my favorite of the bunch in this situation.  It makes sense too because these 0-3 teams play with more desperation than their opponents.  They are also undervalued after three straight losses, and the Titans fit that bill.  Bet the Titans Sunday.

Ricky's 1* play on BYU.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- BYU are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games.

- BYU are 3-1 ATS in the last 4 head to head meetings.

- BYU are are 3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games.

Verdict: The value is on the road favorite.

Game Analysis

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR FRIDAY, 10/2:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. Take the Tennessee Titans plus the points versus the Baltimore Ravens. Tennessee (0-3) remains winless this season after their 12-7 loss on the road in New York against the Giants as a 2.5-point underdog on Sunday. The Titans have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after losing three games in a row. And while first-year head coach Robert Saleh has a 23-35 ATS mark in his head coaching career mostly with the New York Jets, those Jets teams covered the point spread in 9 of their 13 games played in October which suggests his ability to make adjustments after the first month of the season. Baltimore (2-1) comes off a 34-31 last second victory against Dallas on Sunday in that game played in Brazil as a 3-point favorite. The Ravens return home where they have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games. They have also covered the point spread in 10 of their last 16 games when favored. Take Tennessee plus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Frank has been featured here at Sportscapping.com since 2016. More substance, less hype. Evidence, not vibes. Careful. Thorough. Genuine. His reports document his professionalism.

Frank Sawyer’s Hollywood Sports remains on a 30 of 45 (67%) All-Sports run with featured 25*/20*/10* plays despite a rough 0-3 Thursday mark where Frank got it wrong with the Phillies in MLB and the Pittsburgh-Cleveland Under and then lost a coin flip result backing the Steelers! Frank is still on an 11 of 17 (65%) Game of the Month/Year run in all-Sports and, after some afternoon due diligence, he BOUNCES BACK by UNLEASHING his 25* WNBA 1st Round Playoff Game of the Year for the Dallas-Golden State ATS winner on ESPN2 at 9:00 PM ET!

NCAA-F | Kentucky vs South Carolina
Play on: South Carolina -2½ -110 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

I am going to buy low on South Carolina following two straight losses by the Gamecocks, who fell to Alabama and Mississippi State. No shame in losing to either of those two teams. But this does put South Carolina and it's coach, Shane Beamer, in a crucial spot hosting Kentucky. 

South Carolina has owned Kentucky recently winning the past four matchups. The Gamecocks have defeated the Wildcats by a combined, 66-19, during the past two years. 

Highly talented QB LaNorris Sellers is playing much better for South Carolina this season than he did last year. Kentucky ranks 103rd in pass defense.

NCAA-F | Notre Dame vs North Carolina
Play on: North Carolina +21½ -120 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

North Carolina +21.5 1.1% North Carolina catching 21.5 points at home presents immense situational value, primarily driven by head coach Bill Belichick having a full two weeks to prepare for a #3 ranked Notre Dame squad. The Fighting Irish carry a heavy public tax after dominant recent performances, but this matchup projects as a slow, methodical trench fight with a low game total sitting at 46.5 points. When two defensive-minded programs establish the run and bleed the clock, total possessions shrink drastically, making it mathematically difficult for a road favorite to cover a massive three-touchdown spread.

Backing the Tar Heels at +21.5 is our official 1% free play for Saturday's card. While North Carolina's recent turnover issues remain a valid concern against Notre Dame's elite pass rush, the sheer volume of points combined with Belichick’s schematic adjustments off a bye week provides enough mathematical margin of error. Take North Carolina and the points, relying on a stout Tar Heels run defense that allows just 3.4 yards per carry to keep the margin tight and secure the cover.

NFL | Chargers vs Seahawks
Play on: Seahawks -7 -110 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

1* Free Pick on Seahawks -7

The Chargers are 0-3 and averaging just 14.7 points a game.

Now they fly to Seattle to face the defending champion Seahawks, who are angry after losing a close one in Washington.

Start with the quarterbacks.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert is completing 59.1 percent of his passes with a 3:4 TD:INT ratio through three games.

His supporting cast is thin.

Tight ends Charlie Kolar and David Njoku are both out, and right tackle Trey Pipkins III is on IR.

That matters against a Seattle defense that has already given up the third-fewest receiving yards to tight ends this season.

Los Angeles has not been close to competitive.

They lost 26-14 to the Cardinals, 26-14 to the Raiders, then fell in Buffalo despite forcing 5 turnovers.

When your defense hands you 5 takeaways and you still lose, the offense is broken.

Seattle is a different story.

The Seahawks are 2-1, scoring 25 a game and allowing 16.7.

Their only loss came on a pick-six in the final minutes at Washington.

Before that they went into Arizona and won 31-7.

Sam Darnold is back under center and Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the best receiver on the field in this one.

He takes a 27-405-6 line on 36 targets into Week 4 with three straight games over 120 receiving yards.

The Chargers have no answer for him.

Good team at home off a loss against a bad team that cannot score.

Seven points is not enough.

I like the Seahawks

Dave's Sunday Free Play:

1* on Jaguars/Bengals OVER 51.5

The Key: The Jaguars have been protecting double-digit 2H leads each of the first 3 games of the season so they haven't been pressing the issue offensively.  They are much more potent on offense than they have shown, and they will need to show it this week to match this high-octane Cincinnati offense score for score.  The Bengals were also protecting double-digit leads in their first 2 games against the Bucs and Texans.  They went score for score with the Steelers last week in a 30-27 loss.  I think we see a similar result here with the Jaguars as these are 2 of the best offenses in the NFL, and 2 defenses that are very vulnerable in the secondary.  The OVER is 5-0 in the last 5 matchups between the Bengals and Jaguars and Burrow didn't even play in the last 2 matchups.  They still went for 65 and 58 combined points.  Take the OVER.

**9X Top 10 NFL Handicapper!** That's right, Dave has NINE Top 10 NFL Finishes dating back to 2008!  He is riding a solid 809-684 NFL Run over the long haul that has $1,000/game investors up $58,140! Dave is also in the midst of a 339-277 NFL 7* Run as well as a more recent 164-136 NFL Run that helped him finish as the #3 NFL Capper in 2024-25! He is also on a 20-4 Top Plays Run in all sports!

Game Analysis

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Seattle Seahawks -7

The Seattle Seahawks will be motivated when they return home to bounce back from one of the most shocking losses of the season.  They lost 33-31 to Marcus Mariota and the Commanders last week in sloppy conditions.  When you look at the box score, the Seahawks had no business losing that game.  They outgained the Commanders by 179 yards but were -3 in turnovers, including a Pick 6 from Sam Darnold.  He'll be much sharper in his 2nd back back from injury.  The Seahawks are outgaining their opponents by 149 yards per game and 2.3 yards per play this season.  They haven't missed a beat since winning the Super Bowl.  Their defense is the best in the NFL giving up only 228.7 yards per game and 4.0 yards per play.  The 0-3 Chargers are getting outgained by 41 yards per game.  They even lost to the Bills by 8 last week despite being +4 in turnovers.  They are broken and banged up, and now they have a ton of travel in between coming back from Buffalo this week and now flying up to Seattle for consecutive road games.  They have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL and Justin Herbert just doesn't have time.  Ladd McConkey is banged up and questionable, and they don't have many weapons outside him.  They are down their top two TE's.  Three starters in the secondary in James, Molden and Jackson are all questionable, and they are without NT Tomlinson.  The Seahawks are going to own them at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the football and it will lead to a win by more than a touchdown in this one.  Give me the Seahawks.

West Virginia may be 3-1 but has allowed 67 points the last 2 weeks and were blown out at home by OK. ST The Mountaineers are in a game 5 play against system that is based on teams off their first loss as a dog off a loss of 14 or more if they scored 35 or less and they are taking on a team off a home dog loss.

Game Analysis

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our Saturday Free Play. You could call this a letdown spot for Iowa which is coming off a last second win against Michigan but based on this opponent, there is zero chance for that letdown. The Hawkeyes are doing it again being on pace for another high finish in the Big Ten Conference and surpassing their win total as this team has won eight or more games in nine of the last ten years, the only exception being the COVID year when they played only eight games total. Head coach Kirk Ferentz is the reason as being the longest tenured coach in FBS, he continues to be consistent with his teams and that comes down to defense. They are tied for No. 7 in Defensive EPA/Play and while this is a test, we’ve seen them succeed in this spot before. Ohio St. is coming off a blowout win over Illinois but allowed 462 yards in the process and their numbers are skewed by allowing three points against Kent. St. and Ball St., the two worst teams in the MAC. The offense is one of the best but struggled in its only test at Texas and this environment in its second true road game is just as big of a test. Live dog. Play (186) Iowa Hawkeyes

Fargo is now 14-5-2 in the NFL to start the season! College Football is 20-15 YTD following another winning week. That adds up to 33-20-2 in Football YTD! Football is back in action on Saturday with SEVEN Winners.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports: Take the Over in Maryland Terrapins at Nebraska Cornhuskers (4 p.m., Saturday, October 3, FS1). We faded Maryland with last week’s free play, and the Terrapins delivered a rough performance in a 54-3 home loss to UCLA. That result has turned up the heat on their head coach, and we expect a better offensive effort this Saturday. The bigger concern remains Maryland’s defense, which surrendered 34 points to Virginia Tech before allowing 54 to UCLA. Nebraska has been piling up points, scoring 49, 56, 34, and 31 in its first four games of 2026. With the Cornhuskers rolling offensively and Maryland looking to respond, we like this matchup to go over the total. Back the Over.

As we now enter another month of college football, this is the time where you MUST follow a proven and documented winning college football Handicapper/Bettor. And that’s just what Joe D’Amico is! I am excited and honored to say I have my strongest college football card in years. Join me this Saturday, as we crush the books, and sweep the board. It doesn’t get any bigger or better than this: ACC ANNIHILATOR, CONTRARIAN WINNER, 1-0 MVP, 1-0 BOOKIE BUSTER, MWC MONEYMAKER, 1-0 BIG TEN BIG GAME WINNER, HI ROLLER, & NO LIMIT PLAYS.

Saturday’s Free Winner: Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Game 142.

1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST.

My friends, if the Cornhuskers didn’t have the Hoosiers and Ducks in back-to-back games on deck, this would’ve been a premium release for me. This is a much-improved Nebraska squad looking to put a hurting on a conference opponent here. Last year’s October 11 matchup on the road saw them eke out a 34-31 victory as nearly a touchdown favorite. So far, the Cornhuskers own a perfect 4-0 record which does include a 1-0 mark in Big 10 play. I mentioned a moment ago they have some tough opponents on deck. But this is their last chance to fine tune their squad on both sides of the line of scrimmage before their schedule gets tougher. By the way, they’re also a perfect 3-0 at home and have covered three of their four outings this season. In all sincerity, they could’ve covered the one game they did not as they were a 27.5-point favorite at home against North Dakota and won by 27-points. Maryland is in for a long and ugly campaign. They did come out victorious in their first two outings of the season. But those games were against Hampton and Connecticut. Their last two contests were both losses and no covers, both played at home against Virginia Tech and UCLA. As a matter of fact, this team has now lost eight of their last 10 going back to last season SU, and seven of those 10 ATS. Now, maybe they could be caught in a look-ahead role as seven days from this game, on the road they have to face Ohio State. Having said all that, the Terrapins offense can’t get out of their own way, committing five turnovers and ranking 91st on the ground. Yes, their passing game has been impressive ranking 28th in college football. But they did stall badly last week putting up just three-points at home against the Bruins. This week they are facing the 10th ranked scoring defense in college football. Not only are the Cornhuskers tough against the rush, they are also amazing against the pass. They rank in the top-25 in just about every major defensive category. Let’s flip it and talk about the Nebraska offense, which has only committed one turnover, is averaging over 42.5 PPG, ranks in the top-20 in rushing, and is solid in the air. How in the world can the UM defense slow them down? It isn’t going to happen, my friends. Of course, they allowed just 14 combined points against teams like Hampton and Connecticut. But when they stepped up in class, their defense got lit up for a combined 89 points the last two games against Virginia Tech and UCLA. As I mentioned at the start of this breakdown, if Nebraska wasn’t going up against Indiana and Oregon in the next two weeks, this would’ve been a premium release for me. Take the Cornhuskers. Thank you.

NCAA-F | California vs UNLV
Play on: UNLV -2 -110 at circa
Game Analysis

I think UNLV will be able to beat California this Saturday. They have the better offense as well as matching up better on the ground. Ja’Den Thomas is gaining 5.9 ypc and QB Jackson Arnold can run as well. He had his best game throwing the ball last week throwing for 3 touchdowns.

 

California will be coming in from a bad game against Clemson. They were only able to gain 231 yards and did not score a touchdown on offense. May also be without their best running back due to injuries.

I think with UNLV at home and beating Akron last week by 38-10. They will be able to run the ball and and find a way to take the game.

NFL | Colts vs Commanders
Play on: Colts -3 -125 at betus
Game Analysis

Colts -3

Indy has the cleaner path to controlling this game. Washington is allowing more than 280 passing yards per game, and opposing QB's have consistently found room against a defense that has surrendered 11 TD's through three weeks. The Commanders are also allowing TD's on 75% of opposing red-zone trips. That gives Daniel Jones a favorable matchup, but Jonathan Taylor is where I expect Indy to establish control. Washington is coming off an emotional win behind Marcus Mariota, while the Colts just handled a physical Houston defense. At only a FG, I'll lay it. Back Indy. Locking this in early. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be smaller bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction.

Fighting | Cong Wang vs Natalia Silva
Play on: Cong Wang +180 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

Delta Center on a Saturday night is a building that wants a champion, and the board hung the vacant belt on the woman who has not lost in the UFC. Wang Cong is the plus-money side. Not because Natalia Silva is a mirage. Because minus-205 in a five-round debut for both of them is a tax, and the over 4.5 is already −260.

Silva is 20–5–1 and 8–0 in the UFC. Fourteen straight wins. Six of those eight UFC wins went to the judges. Two knockouts. She beat Rose Namajunas by unanimous decision in January, 51 strikes to 26, one takedown apiece, zero knockdowns. She beat Alexa Grasso 65–45. She beat Jessica Andrade 117–50. The sheet says volume and a clean card, not a finisher. Significant strikes land at 4.81 a minute. Accuracy is 45 percent. She absorbs 2.36. Strike defense is 66 percent. Takedown defense is 90 percent, which is why people lay the number. Takedown accuracy is 30 percent. Submission average is zero. She is 5-foot-4 with a 65-inch reach, southpaw, 29 years old. The public will smash the streak because the streak is real and the main event is on the poster.

Wang is 10–1–0 and 5–1 in the UFC. The only loss was a rear-naked choke to Gabriella Fernandes in November 2024. Since then it is four unanimous decisions: Bruna Brasil, Ariane da Silva, Eduarda Moura, Tracy Cortez. Four trips to the scorecards. No drama, no early exit. She lands 6.84 significant strikes a minute against Silva’s 4.81. Accuracy sits around 58 to 60 percent. She absorbs 2.82. Strike defense is 60 percent. Takedown defense is 86 percent. She is 34, southpaw, 5-foot-6 or 5-foot-7 depending on the card, 65.5-inch reach. The nickname is the Joker. The method is the decision. Career wins are 60 percent on the cards, two knockouts, two submissions. Average fight time is 11:39. That is not a one-round dart. That is a woman who has been paid to hear the horn.

The distance math is the work.

6.84−4.81=2.036.84 - 4.81 = 2.036.84−4.81=2.03

Two extra significant strikes a minute, over 25 minutes, is about 50 strikes if the fight actually goes the distance the board already priced. Silva’s edge is the 90 percent takedown defense and the eight-fight unbeaten run. Wang’s edge is the output and a card that already says she wins ugly and late. You are not fading Silva to get finished in two. You are fading her to take a vacant belt at minus-205 against a counter-striker who has won four in a row on the cards. A split for Wang cashes. A unanimous for Wang cashes. 48–47 the other way is the hold.

The over 4.5 at −260 is the market telling you the same thing. Silva’s UFC finish rate is 25 percent. Wang’s last four did not end early. Laying −260 to bet the fight starts the fifth is how people donate the main event. The moneyline is the ticket.

Bet Wang Cong on the moneyline as a plus-money underdog in a five-round women’s flyweight title fight. Wang’s UFC record as an underdog: 3–0 (100 percent). Last four fights: unanimous decision, unanimous decision, unanimous decision, unanimous decision. (+3.0 unit$, ROI=90.9%)

Bet the dog in a vacant-title main event when the favorite’s UFC wins are at least 75 percent decisions. Silva is 6–0 by decision in eight UFC wins, 75 percent. The over 4.5 is −260. The price on the dog is +170. (+1.7 unit$, ROI=22.4%)

Bet against a flyweight favorite of −200 to −210 when the underdog lands at least 1.5 more significant strikes per minute. The gap is 2.03. Silva absorbs 2.36. Wang lands 6.84. That is the output the chalk has not been priced to absorb for 25 minutes. (+1.7 unit$, ROI=18.2%)

Shop plus 170. If she is plus 155, the juice already walked and you are paying for the poster. Confirm both make weight. A flyweight miss turns a title fight into a different sport. The house does not care that Silva has not lost since she got here.

NFL | Cardinals vs Giants
Play on: Cardinals PK -110 at circa
Game Analysis

My selection is on Arizona over New York at 1 pm et on Sunday.

While the Giants enter this game with the better overall record, I don't think there's any question it's the Cardinals that appear to have more upside through three weeks of the season. I really liked the fight Arizona showed in last week's loss but ATS cover on the road against the 49ers. Bettors wanted no part of the Cards after their blowout loss at home against Seattle in Week 2. Keep in mind, the Seahawks had extra time to prepare for that matchup after opening the season on a Wednesday. That's not to mention the fact that the Cards were in a clear letdown after pulling off a road upset of the Chargers in Week 1. The situation on offense is bad enough for the Giants that they elected to sign Vikings cast-off QB J.J. McCarthy. Last week's win over Tennessee had everything to do with the ineptness of the Titans and very little to do with New York's own crisp play. That was an ugly game all around that to put bluntly, someone had to win. While the Giants might have had a chance to compete this year with a healthy Jaxson Dart at quarterback, I fully expect them to quickly fall well back of the pack with Jameis Winston running what already looks like a broken offense (the fact that they're bent on featuring RB Cam Skattebo as the focal point is the biggest red flag). Take Arizona (8*).

NCAA-F | Syracuse vs Connecticut
Play on: Syracuse -6½ -110 at Buckeye
Game Analysis

David's NCAAF Free Pick

We really like road favorite in this matchup. Syracuse (1-2) has a talented group of receivers and quarterback Steve Angeli, who has thrown for 263 and 3 TD in a game this year. They're facing a UConn secondary that is young and inexperienced and just gave up 300+ passing yards to Miami (OH). The Orange defense is just as good in the other direction, allowing only 134.7 passing yards per game (5th nationally) and 258.7 total yards per game (16th).

UConn (2-2) has some weapons, but quarterback Kalieb Osborne doesn't have a go-to receiver to keep drives alive. Syracuse has the better receivers, the better defense, and a clear matchup edge in the secondary. They should control this game and win by more than the number.

This is a FREE PLAY on SYRACUSE ATS.

Game Analysis

Free Play – Take #165 Michigan State +10 over Wisconsin (12:30 p.m. ET, Thursday, October 3)

Last week I had Michigan State, and they were overwhelmed by Nebraska at home. Wisconsin was trailing by 10 points at Penn State in the fourth quarter, which looked like a sure defeat, but they tallied two TDs and engineered the upset. So, the Badgers roll at home over the Spartans? In the immortal words of Lee Corso, “No so fast, my friend!” No question Wisconsin is playing much better than the last few years, but back? Spartans coach Pat Fitzgerald is a solid 38-23 ATS as a road underdog. Luke Fikell might be getting things together, yet he’s still a mediocre 16-21 ATS after three or more consecutive straight up wins. Fitzgerald has FIVE outright upsets of Wisky, and the underdog is on a 5-1 ATS surge. Badgers win, but as Corso said, “closer than the experts think.”

Give me the Washington Huskies plus the points here on Saturday Night. Both these teams horrible ATS as the Huskies 0-4 ATS last 4 and USC has missed the cover in 3 straight and 8 of the last 10. USC a solid team but I do not see how this is anything but one possession game any way you slice it.  Washington has had USC number in recent history winning and covering 4 of the last 5 head to heads. 

10* Winner on the Washington Huskies plus the points

NCAA-F | Alabama vs Mississippi State
Play on: Mississippi State +6 -110 at betus
Game Analysis

Mississippi State's offensive improvement has been substantial. Quarterback Kamario Taylor has accounted for 14 passing touchdowns and approximately 344 total yards per game, while the Bulldogs generated 499 yards against Missouri.

A respected sharp also supported Mississippi State at +6.

The major problem is Luck Factor. Mississippi State is +1.1, one of the highest early-season readings in the country. That is a meaningful regression warning.

With Alabama also receiving the expected public support, Mississippi State remains interesting, but the Luck Gap keeps it on the free card.

Play to: MISSISSIPPI STATE +5.
