After back-to-back weeks of picking winners for GamingToday, Doc’s Sports came in with a 1-2 record in this past Saturday’s games. We see this as a minor bump in the road heading into Week 7 of the college football season in light of an overall winning record of 11-6-1 on the year.

When it comes to college football we are one of the best in the game especially when it comes to our “home” conference, the Big Ten. Our selections for this conference have always paid huge dividends over the years by staying true to the old adage that you should always bet on what you know best and no one in this business has a better insight into Big Ten football than we do.
Here are this week’s selections:
Clemson -24 vs. Boston College: No. 3 Clemson is coming off a 49-14 rout of Syracuse this past Saturday as a 14-point road favorite after blasting Wake Forest 56-7 as a 28½-point favorite at home on Sept. 28. It has run its overall record to 5-0 straight-up and to 3-2 against the spread. The only thing standing in the Tigers’ way in this contest is the possibility they look past this game to next week’s showdown against No. 6 Florida State.
The Eagles are 3-2, both SU and ATS, on the year after hammering Army this past Saturday 48-27 as 11-point home favorites. Their two losses came on the road against USC and at home to Florida State. Against the Seminoles, they did cover a 23½-point spread in the 48-34 loss, but they are 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games. BC is 1-4 SU and ATS in its last five games against the Tigers. CLEMSON.
Wyoming (-15½) over N. Mexico (3:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12): The Cowboys are coming off a bye week following a tough 42-21 loss to Texas State as 10½-point favorites. That game aside, they still have one of the best passing offenses in the country with an average of 322.8 yards a game. Brett Smith has thrown for 1,607 yards and 14 touchdowns in five games and will be more than ready to light things up this Saturday afternoon.
New Mexico rolled-up 66 points in a romp over New Mexico State to snap a two-game skid that included losses to Pittsburgh and UNLV. The Lobos are averaging 38 points a game, but their defense is ranked 108th in the nation in points allowed; giving-up an average of 35.6 ppg. If they get behind early against Wyoming, which in all likelihood they will, do not look for a passing game that is averaging a grand total of 76 yards a game to bail them out. WYOMING.
Michigan -3 over Penn St.: Michigan climbed to No. 18 in the latest AP poll after beating Minnesota 42-13 this past Saturday as an 18½-point favorite at home. It moved to a perfect 5-0 SU and 3-2 ATS. The Wolverines have been extremely well-balanced on offense between the pass and the run and they are averaging 38.8 points a game. The defense has held up its end of the bargain by holding opponents to an average of 19.4 points a game.
The Nittany Lions fell to 3-2 SU (2-3 ATS) with a disappointing 44-24 loss to Indiana as 3½-point road favorites this past Saturday. There are suddenly some serious question marks with this defense after it was first exposed in a 34-31 loss to Central Florida on Sept. 14. While Penn State will benefit from playing this game at Beaver Stadium, it is 1-3-1 ATS in its last five home games against a team with a winning record on the road. MICHIGAN.
