The Vegas Whispers' sharp information has continued to dominate the sportsbooks, going 45-34 so far in 2020 on released NFL Plays. On Thursday Night, the sharps are 11-1 ATS in their plays shared here at Sports Illustrated.

The information received from Frankie Taddeo, Sports Illustrated’s Gambling Vegas Insider, finished the 2020 Major League Baseball (MLB) at 79-60-0 +16.66 units and is currently 17-12 ATS on NCAA College Football for all SI PRO members.

Fresno State (-10) at Utah State | TOTAL: 54.5

As part of the NCAAF Week 11 schedule, the Fresno State Bulldogs (2-1) visit the Utah State Aggies (0-3) for a Mountain West Conference showdown. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 p.m. ET at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah. Following a season-opening 34-19 home loss to Hawaii, Fresno State posted a 38-17 home win against Colorado and a 40-27 victory on the road against UNLV. While a second straight road game is a slight concern, the Bulldogs are the better team in this matchup.

Utah State enters this contest following blowout losses to Boise State (42-13), San Diego State (38-7), and Nevada (34-9), and they just fired head coach Gary Anderson. The Aggies have been terrible on both sides of the ball as they are averaging just 209.3 yards per game on offense and have allowed 520.7 yards per game on defense. Utah State posted a 37-35 win over the Bulldogs in Fresno last season, but that was with QB Jordan Love under center. Love was selected as the No. 26 overall pick by the Green Bay Packers during the 2020 NFL Draft.

Pick: Fresno State Bulldogs (-10)

No. 11 Oregon (-10) at Washington State | TOTAL: 58

Following a delayed start to the season, the Pac-12 heads into Week 2 of their schedule. As part of the slate, No. 11 Oregon (1-0) travels to Washington State (1-0) for a Pac-12 North Division rivalry duel. Kickoff is slated for 7:00 p.m. ET at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington. The Ducks opened their season with a 35-14 home win against Stanford -10 point favorites. The Cougars posted a 38-28 win on the road against the Oregon State Beavers as +3 point underdogs.

Oregon snapped a four-game losing streak against Washington State with a 37-35 win at home last season. The game went down to the wire as the Ducks kicked a field goal with no time left of the clock. Both teams have new starting quarterbacks as sophomore Tyler Shough replaced Justin Herbert for Oregon, and true freshman Jayden de Laura replaced Anthony Gordon for the Cougars. The Ducks enter this contest with the better offense, and I am betting on Oregon to cover the spread.

Pick: Oregon Ducks (-10)
