Wednesday's Game 10/18

Florida Atlantic won last two games, is 1-0 in Sun Belt after 0-4 start, all vs BCS conference teams. Last year, Owls went to ULL and beat Ragin' Cajuns 28-10, outgaining UL-Lafayette 430-217, holding ULL to 6-18/47 passing. FAU failed to cover last four lined home games. ULL won last three games, including a 31-28 win at Houston, when they trailed 21-0; their only losses are vs LSU and Texas A&M. All four of their lined games this season went over the total. These teams don't get on TV much; so they want to put their best foot forward here.

Clemson fell off the national radar after losing at Boston College in its second game of the season. The Tigers have bounced back after that one-point defeat to win their next five games and become one of the hottest teams on the football planet.

Coach Tommy Bowden has piloted Clemson to five straight victories by a combined score of 220-53. The Tigers stand an excellent chance of running the table the rest of the way with four of their last five games at Memorial Stadium, where they have outscored their foes, 157-13.

Georgia Tech provides the opposition in Week 8 and if past history is any indication, Clemson shouldn't expect another home romp.

The Yellow Jackets have won the past two series showdowns, including a 28-24 upset win in their last visit to Columbia as 6 1/2-point dogs, 28-24. Georgia Tech nipped the Tigers at Bobby Dodd Stadium as 2 1/2-point home favorites last year, 10-9.

Georgia Tech is riding a hot streak of its own. The Yellow Jackets have won five straight since losing their season opener at home to Notre Dame as eight-point underdogs, 14-10. Tech had last week off following a narrow home victory over Maryland, 27-23. The Jackets' are 8-19 ATS off a bye.

The Tigers explosive offense has put 43.8 points per game on the board. That's bad news for a Georgia Tech squad that's 0-17 ATS when it allows 28 points or more.

Close calls have been par for the course in this hotly contested Atlantic Coast Conference rivalry. Nine of the last 10 meetings have been decided by five points or less and the dog has barked in 16 of 17 showdowns. However, Clemson has come away with the cash in nine of the last dozen tussles.

Trends and angles for the remainder of the Week 8 menu appear below.

BGSU at CMU

Bowling Green has won five of eight versus Central Michigan, though it has failed to cash in six of the eight clashes.
