Here were this week's results: - 14 Home Dogs - Home Dogs went 8-6 ATS - 4 Home Dogs won their games out-right These were the 8 covers, *indicates an out-right winner: *South Florida, Northwestern, *Illinois, Tulane, *Colorado, *Georgia Tech, Minnesota, Washington. These were the 6 Home Dogs that did not cover and the points by which they didn't cover: Ohio 6, NC State 11.5, Idaho 4, New Mexico 3.5, San Diego St. 15, Stanford 23. I point out the totals because in many instances, Home Dogs make great Teaser Candidates. Miami OH and Toledo began the week as Home Dog but moved to Favs by kickoff. Miami covered and Toledo did not. Beginning with the games of this week, 9/27, I have been recording stats on Home Dogs. Here were this week’s results:

Pittsburgh isn't as bad as they may seem, and Virginia is not as good as they seem. Clemson has dominated Georgia Tech recently, but Clemson also is known for losing focus at least once a year and today is a dangerous spot for Clemson. Illinois/Penn St: interesting that PSU is only a 3 point favorite. It seems to me that Illinois hasn't done all that much over the past few years, and unless you count their win over Syracuse as impressive (only after Syracuse upset Louisville) I question why PSU isn't a bigger favorite. I guess people have really lost their love of the Nittany Lions after last week's no-show at Michigan. California at Oregon, should be a great game! The following games are recommended Teaser Candidates: Ohio +3 vs Kent St. NC State +8 vs Louisville Idaho +24.5 vs Hawaii Minnesota +24 vs Ohio St. Stanford +14.5 vs Arizona St. Other games that pique my interest but didn’t make the cut are:
