college football week 8 ATS best bets part 1

Not a lot of time, getting right to it.  Here are the games I like up until the 4 pm kick off times

Tulsa +2 vs USF
Ignore the records, and the stats.  A home team getting points against a very poor team?  I will take it

Florida Atlantic +4.5 vs Western Kentucky
Same example as above, both teams have 2 wins, and we're getting points at home.  Easy play

Virginia +3.5 @ Duke
Virginia is coming in off a bye, and has one of the best defenses in the nation.  Duke survived on the road last week against Georgia Tech, but that was mostly from GT shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly.  Duke benefited from 3 turnovers and 2 missed FG by GT.  Virginia is better and more disciplined than GT, and coming in rested.  Throw some points on top of it and that's the recipe of success.

Clemson -5 @ Boston College
Yes BC is improved this year, and yes they play better at home, but this Clemson team will just be to much for them to handle.  Clemson has more fire power on offense than any team BC has faced this year.  Look for them to continue putting up big points on the road.

Arkansas +3.5 vs Georgia
These two teams are built extremely similar with power runs and power defenses.  Arkansas is better than people give them credit for, and last week Georgia wanted to prove that they didn't need Gurley, so it was a statement game.  This is the 2nd week in a row on the road for Georgia, and they are down to their 4th running back on the year.  Look for Arkansas to squeak out the win.

TCU -8.5 vs Oklahoma State
This line isn't available anymore, but it's the line I locked in 2 days ago so that's what I'm posting.  I'd still play TCU at -10.  This line has steamed up from the open of -8.  The TCU offense is way to good to be stopped, and the defense is better than most think.  Look for them to defend their home turf, and make a statement with this game.
