Top Games to Bet on

NCAA Football: USC vs Notre Dame (7:35 PM ET)

Once a heated battle for national championships, USC and Notre Dame will both enter their annual contest 4-2 and unranked.

The Trojans began the Ed Orgeron era with a decent 38-31 win against Arizona. The interim coach can further strengthen his case to get the full-time job with a big win against the old enemies in South Bend. USC is 5-0 in its last 5 road games at Notre Dame.

Odds: USC (+3) vs Notre Dame (-3); O/U: 51.0

When the two teams met last year, The Fighting Irish were ranked #1 in the nation. Brian Kelly’s boys fallen a long way from those lofty heights, but a home win vs USC could catapult them right back to the Top 25. Notre Dame is 12-2 SU in its last 14 games at home.

NCAA Football: Florida State vs Clemson (8:05 PM ET)

#5 Florida State takes on #3 Clemson tonight in what’s being dubbed the ACC’s “Game of the Century”.

The winner of tonight’s game will almost surely play in the ACC Championship game, and more importantly, it will keep the dream of a national championship alive.

Rookie sensation Jameis Winston will lead his Seminoles into Death Valley, where they have not won since 2001. While the freshman has not showed signs of pressure yet, this game will be by far the biggest in his young career. Florida State is 5-0 SU in its last 5 road games.

Odds: Florida State (-3) vs Clemson (+3); O/U: 64.0

On the other side, senior Tajh Boyd hopes to bring a national championship to his alma mater in his final year of eligibility. The Tigers have already taken down ranked opposition at home this year (Week 1 vs Georgia), and they have owned the Noles at Death Valley. Clemson is 4-0 ATS in last 4 games vs FSU.
