Sports Handicapper AAA Sports's Picks & Predictions

Our selection is on the BYU Cougars @ Connecticut Huskies to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

BYU has scored lots of points in back-to-back games. But, those were against lower skilled teams and that was anticipated.

The Cougars are terrific defensively and have allwed less than 70 points in every game so far this season.

The UNDER is perfect so far, going 3-0 in the three games so far for BYU.

Connecticut has also played really strong defense to start and that has led to two of it's three games staying UNDER.

The Huskies have seen eight of their L10 games since last year finish UNDER.

Both teams play slower and more methodical . We're on the UNDER.

Our selection is on the James Madison Dukes to defeat the Appalachian State Mountaineers on Saturday at 3:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Appalachian State has lost three games in a row and has lost a lot of hope of reaching the six win mark.

The Mountaineers don't run the ball too well and lack in scoring as well.

They are just 3-5 against the spread over their L8 games this season.

James Madison is still in a good spot to attempt to make the playoff. Winning, with style points has to keep happening though.

The Dukes are 7-3 against the spread over their L10 games since last season and have won seven games in a row this year.

We're on JMU, big today.

Our selection is on Scotland to defeat Greece in World Cup Qualifying on Saturday at 2:45pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Scotland has been heating up and it needs a win here to put the pressure on Denmark for the top spot in the group.

It's 3-1-0 in four games in qualifying and we don't think that it will lose to the team that it beat 3-1 earlier.

Greece has been pretty bad so far, with one win in four games and three losses.

Even though Greece is at home today, it's pretty much got nothing to play for and no hope.

We're on Scotland to get at least a draw.

Our selection is on the UTEP Miners @ Missouri State Bears to finish UNDER the total on Saturday at 3:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

UTEP is just 2-7 this season and is averaging 21.6 points a game.

The Miners don't have the worst defense ever though as they allow 25.8 points a game -- quite good for a two win team.

They have had one of the best passing defenses in College Football this year.

Missouri State doesn't score a whole lot either, with similar statistics in scoring compared to UTEP -- 22.6 points a game for and 25.9 points a game against.

The Bears strength is the passing game. We think UTEP can take that away and keep this game low scoring.

We're on the UNDER.

Our selection is on the Cincinnati Bearcats to defeat the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday at 12:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Arizona has won back-to-back games. But, last weekends win wasn't too impressive.

The Wildcats have covered the spread in just two of their L6 games this season.

They are also 4-11 versus the spread over their L15 games against opponents within the Big 12 Conference.

Cincinnati is ranked and is one of the best teams in the conference this year.

The Bearcats had the bye week last weekend to recover and get ready for the final stretch.

We're on Cincinnati at home.

Our selection is on the West Virginia Mountaineers to cover the spread against the Arizona State Sun Devils on Saturday at 1:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

West Virginia has won back-to-back games and has covered the spread in three in a row.

The Mountaineers are looking great since making the move to switch their quarterback to Scotty Fox.

They won the only game between these two teams in history, in a game that finished 43-42.

Arizona State had the week off last week, but will be without Sam Leavitt for the rest of the season. Jordan Tyson is also supposed to miss this game again.

The Sun Devils are just 5-10 versus the spread over their L15 games played as a home favorite of more than 10 points.

We're on the Mountaineers.
