GAME OF THE WEEK (Rogers' 10* NCAAF) >> TOP SIDE!
(NCAAF) Rice vs. Wake Forest,
Point Spread: 27.00 | -110.00 Rice (Away)
Result: Loss
The set-up: No outright upset here, but a competitive battle in my opinion. Wake Forest is dealing with issues right now, most recently firing defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel after his team gave up 97 points over its two previous games combined.

The teams: Rice comes in off a 40-22 loss to Southern Miss. QB Shawn Stankavage was 13 of 26 for 125 yards, two TD's and two INT's. So far the Owls are scoring 27.2 PPG and allowing 39.

Wake Forest is averaging 33.8 PPG and it's allowing 33.5 PPG and a whopping 500.5 yards. QB Sam Hartman was 12 of 24 for 110 yards against the Irish last week.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well that Wake Forest is 0-5 ATS in its last five following a loss of more than 20 points, while Rice is 4-2 ATS in its last six against teams with losing records. Grab the points.
