MICHIGAN over Indiana - Indy is 2-13 SU in B10 openers but did win in ‘06 and ‘07. Indy is 7-20 ATS away vs B10 opps incl 0-3 SU/ATS vs Mich. Mich is on their 4th str HG but has a big revenge match vs rival Mich St on deck. Mich is 30-1 in the series winning the L/5 by 30 ppg but Rod is 2-5 as a HF (2-0 TY). UM awoke from just a 24-17 halftime lead to cruise to a 45-17 win over EM in which the Wolves rushed for their most yds (392) S/’03 and finished with a 448-285 yd edge. QB Forcier struggled (7-13, 68 yds) after LW’s heroics. The Hoosiers are 3-0 after a 38-21 win at Akron in which the Zips susp’d their starting QB on Friday and his replacement threw 4 int. QB Chappell avg 225 (68%) with a 3-3 ratio. UM has huge edges all around (#19-91 off, #27-60 D and #26-75 ST) and Rod’s team opens up B10 play like the good old days.

The L/2 have been decided by 1 and 3. Marshall HC Snyder is just 6-16 as an AD, but Memphis HC West is 7-13 as a HF. The Herd is a off a 17-10 home win over BG as a 4H LPS Winner. Marshall was outgained 393-346, but held the Falcons to just 10 rush yds (0.5!). RB Marshall ran for 186 (8.9), incl an 80 yd TD run. Memphis got their 1st win as they beat FCS foe UT-Martin 41-14. Soph QB Tyler Bass got his 1st career start and was 21-27 for 293 with a 4-1 ratio. Leading rusher Steele (119, 5.0) missed LW and is expected to miss at least 1 more week. These teams always seem to play close games and we like a Marshall team with fewer question marks to come away with a key CUSA road win.

LV QB Clayton threw for 340 yds and 3 TD in their comeback win against Hawaii and should have another solid performance against a WY D that has allowed 283 pass yds per game (61%). WY has used 2 QB’s TY and they have completed only 44% of their passes against two FBS tms. We don’t foresee much improvement as WY OL has all’d 11 sks which has forced the QB’s to hurry their passes. The Rebels have covered 3 straight in this series, are 5-1 ATS in Laramie, have the superior off (#74-117) and have a huge ST’s edge (#59-119).

CLEMSON over Tcu - Last week we won our Sept 5* GOM with Clemson over BC. This is a dangerous spot for Clemson as they are in an ACC sandwich while the Frogs are in between Texas St and SMU and will be sky high for any matchup vs a BCS school. TCU just traveled to the East Coast and dispatched UVA 30-14 and may be the most talented non-BCS team (just like LY). Both teams have excellent D’s (TCU #7 vs CU #9). CU QB Parker is avg 174 ypg (47%) with a 5-4 ratio. RB Spiller, who sat out the 4Q LW with a recurring toe inj and was only at 85% to start the game, is avg 210 all-purp ypg.

BYU over Colorado St - BYU’s BCS and National Title hopes were dashed LW getting routed at home 54-28 to FSU. The loss snapped their 18 game home winning streak. Despite the lopsided score BYU was only outgained 512-473 but were -5 in TO’s. Meanwhile, CSU is off to their best start (3-0) since 1994. LW they upset (+3’) Nevada 35-20 thanks in large part to a +5 TO margin. Despite the tm success, CSU QB Stucker has struggled in his 1st ssn avg 192 ypg (50%) with a 4-3 ratio. Don’t expect his performance to improve going up against a fired up BYU D who was embarrassed against the Noles. Meanwhile, BYU QB Hall is having a solid season avg 315 ypg (69%) but only has a 6-6 ratio. BYU’s veteran team should be focused to avenge LW’s loss as they start their run at a 3rd MWC Title in 4 years.

Randall the Handle 9/26

Fresno State +17 over CINCINNATI PINNACLE
Cincinnati is on a roll to start the season opening 3-0 and is getting respect from the Associated Press and Coaches in the polls. I’m not going to diminish what they’ve done in beating two BCS teams on the road but this is still not a team that can be counted on to cover two touchdown spreads on a consistent basis. The two legitimate Cincinnati wins came against teams with serious questions at Quarterback and in College Football it’s almost impossible to win games with poor play at that position. Why does this matter? - Because Cincinnati lost an eye-opening 10 defensive starters from their 2008 team and was fortunate to face schools who couldn’t get anything from their offense. Enter Fresno State, who has a history of playing any team at any location and isn’t intimated by any team in College Football. Fresno State is led by leading FBS rusher Ryan Mathews, who has rushed for 449 yards through three games and has helped the Fresno State offense average 38 points a game thus far. The Fresno State offense can score points against legitimate teams and should be able to score touchdowns against an unproven and untested Cincinnati defense. The odds-makers agree, as they have set the total at 61.5, the fourth highest posted total of this weekend’s games. The key to keeping the game within reach for Fresno State will be to contain the Cincinnati duo of Quarterback Tony Pike and Wide Receiver Marshawn Gilyard. Pike and Gilyard are both having phenomenal seasons and will need to get the full attention of Fresno State’s defense. Fresno State will have to keep them off the field with long and extended drives that eat up the clock and keep the game close enough to provide them with a chance to win. With an established running game going up against an unknown Cincinnati defense, the game-plan is there for Hill and Fresno State to shock the Bearcats. It wouldn’t be the first time a top 25-team lost to the team nobody ever wants to play. Play: #327 Fresno State +17 (Risking 2.20 units to win 2).

OHIO STATE -14 over Illinois PINNACLE
While Ohio State’s National Title aspirations vanished with a close loss against Southern California, this is still one of the premier programs in all of College Football. Talent is never an issue at a school like Ohio State and I believe they are taking unfair criticism for barely beating Navy and the aforementioned loss to USC. This is still a team that features the likes of High School Player of the Year Terrelle Pryor, NFL caliber defensive safety’s Kurt Coleman and Anderson Russell and Running Back Dan Herron. Ohio State has had the most players drafted out of any school since 2000, meaning Coach Jim Tressel reloads every year and will always have the players to compete for a BCS game. Now Illinois must come into the Horseshoe to open Big 10 play and the reality is we still know very, very little about this team. Illinois looked terrible in losing to Missouri, a team who they should have handled and then played FCS “rival” Illinois State in a game that means absolutely nothing. Here is what we know about Illinois: They have a hit-or-miss Quarterback in Juice Williams, who can either single handedly win you a game or kill all momentum with killer interceptions, and are coached by the much maligned Ron Zook, who has a 10-22 conference record and is 6-13 on the road during his time at Illinois. It’s also worth noting that Williams did not play two weeks ago and is battling a Quadriceps injury but is going to play this week. Ohio State will look to establish the run against an Illinois defense that returned 5 starters from last year’s team, a team which Ohio State had 305 yards rushing against in last season’s game. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor will contribute to the running game, as he already rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns on the season and Dan Herron will also look to rebound from a disappointing start to the year. The unfortunate truth for Illinois is they lack the talent to keep up with a faster and more motivated Ohio State team. The fact that we know almost nothing about them makes backing them very difficult to understand, as the College game is all about what have you done and where have you done it. In Illinois case, that’s absolutely nothing. Play: #308 Ohio State – 14 (Risking 2.04 units to win 2).

$800 Take #389 Louisiana-Monroe (+4) over Florida Atlantic (4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 26)
I think that this line tells me everything I need to know about this game. It is simply too low for an FAU team that is considered one of the best in the Sun Belt and I think it is a trap for bettors. Louisiana-Monroe always plays the top Sun Belt teams. They lost to the Owls by just one point last year and then beat Troy by one point the week after. Louisiana-Monroe is coming off a game at Arizona State where I didn’t feel they were overmatched. FAU played at South Carolina and hung with the Cocks for a half. But they faded late. I like the veteran Warhawks team in a series that has been decided by less than a touchdown in all five meetings.

$600 Take ‘Under’ 55.0 Akron at Central Michigan (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 26)
Akron quarterback Chris Jacquemain has been suspended indefinitely and backup Matt Rodgers looked like a deer in the headlights as a replacement last week. I think that Akron will again struggle to move the ball and score points. This series has seen less than 55 points in five of the last seven meetings going back to 1998. The ‘Under’ is 9-3 when the Chips are a home favorite and 5-1 in their last six home games.

$300 Take #388 Oregon State (-2.5) over Arizona (7:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 26)
The Beavers are coming off an embarrassing home loss to Cincinnati and I think that they are going to be “on a mission” this week against Arizona. Oregon State is 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings and they are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games in Corvaillis. I don’t think that they will lose two games in a row at home. This line also opened with Arizona as a small favorite but was pounded by the sharps and the public and has moved five whole points back the other way. We’ll follow the movement.

$200 Take #317 TCU (+3) over Clemson (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 26)
TCU is probably the better team here and they are getting the points. A lot of people thnk that TCU has the most talent of any non-BCS team and they already went to Virginia and hammered ACC rep UVA. TCU is 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games overall and the Mountain West teams always give it a little extra when they play against teams from BCS conferences. Again, this number is 2.5 and not 3.0 for a reason. The oddsmakers are trying to bait money on Clemson.

*200 Illinois +14
Not one person, or analysis I have read is giving Illinois a chance today. However, the trends tell a different story! Illinois is 9-1 ATS since October 5 1985 vs Ohio state in games 1-5. Illinois is also 11-2-1 ATS in games 1-4 vs a Big 10 team and their next game is home. Ohio State is known for coming out flat against teams they are supposed to dominate. Look for a hungry and improved Illinois team to cover this spread today.

*200 LSU -12
Miss St has had a much softer schedule thus far, and this line is low because they pulled off a straight up victory over a weaker than usual Vanderbilt team last week. The Miss St spread offense will struggle against this LSU defense that has speed and the hunger to hit someone. I have several trends that support a LSU victory today. LSU is 8-0 ATS (+19.6 ppg) since September 11, 1993 on the road vs. MSST and LSU is 7-0 ATS (+21.2 ppg) since November 15, 1986 as a road favorite vs. MSST. However, MSST is 0-9 ATS Since September 12 1992 Vs LSU in games 1-4. Take LSU and feel good about a solid cover today!

*200 Rice +7.5
This game has sucker written all over it. Vanderbilt is a much weaker team than most think this year. With only 45% of the public on Rice the line has dropped over 1.5 points to 7. Rice is 11-0 ATS since October 3 1981 at home when 2 games ago they faced a big 12 team. Take Rice and the points at home today to cover this spread against a Vandy team that was beat up pretty bad in a hrad hitting contest last week.

*200 Kansas -13
The JayHawks have done what it takes to be a double digit favorite today. Last week their defense turned the corner and sent David Cutcliffes Duke Blue Devils to the sideline 8 straight times with out a score. Todd Reesing, the Kansas quarterback is completing 64% of his career passes. There was an unusual brawl on campus on this week. There are rumors that close to 10 football players could be displined this weekend, with top receiver Briscoe being one of them. I don't see that happening this weekend especially with the line staying flat at a solid 13. The League is 0-9 ATS (-13.0 ppg) since November 18, 2006 as a dog vs. KAN after a home game. Kansas is 16-6 ATS record in its last 22 as a home favorite. Take Kansas minus the points for the cover.

*300 Arkansas State -2
Ark St has had two weeks to prepare for this game. The Troy Trojans came out last week with a bruising win over UAB. The Red Wolves are better than the team that Troy beat by 26 in 2008. The Trojans are not as good as last season's team, and have struggled to move the ball at times. Ark St has a 3 senior that are up for player of the year honors. I love this Ark St team to inflict some revenge today on the Trojans. We will side with the public in game and take the Red Wolves for the cover.

*300 Iowa +10
Iowa does one thing well, and that is they get up for Penn State. Iowa has won 4 out of the last 5 games straight up. Yes, Iowa is rebuilding this year. However, they are still playing Penn St so all the rules are out the door today. Penn St is 0-7 ATS in games 1-4 when their next game is away and their opponents next conference game is vs the Big 10. The Penn State offense and Iowa Hawkeye defense are pretty evenly matched. This will be an exciting chess match to watch. Take Iowa for the cover today, and thank their special teams play, and ability to get the turnovers for the cover.

*300 Miami -3
Miami is one of the most under rated teams in college football this year. Miami should be able to stop the run and force Tyrod Taylor into some bad decisions. And unlike Nebraska, Miami will actually be able to score touchdowns, and plenty of them! The Hokies defense is good, but the Miami offense wil prove to much to handle today. The Hokies are not close to being able to play Beamer ball, and today Miami takes one more step to winning the ACC Title. Take the hurricanes laying this low number for an impressive victory today!

Picks and Analysis
Game: Pittsburgh at N C State (Saturday 9/26 3:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Pittsburgh +1 (-110)
North Carolina State came out of nowhere last season to turn a 2-6 start into a Bowl bid by running the table in their last four games. They covered the spread in nine of their last ten games. The expectations have followed those results into this season. They have whipped up on two cupcakes, but found the going tough at home vs. South Carolina where the Wolfpack offense generated just three points. They put up an anemic 133 yards for the game. Pittsburgh on the other hand, comes in 3-0 after an impressive win over a Navy team that is better than NC State, at least at this point of the season as Navy previously went into Ohio State and lost by just four points. The impressive part for the Panthers is that they held a Navy rushing attack, which always generates major yardage, to just 129 yards on 46 carries (2.8 ypc). The Panthers are getting great QB play from Bill Stull who has completed 70% of his passes for six TDs and just one interception. And, Dion Lewis has been sensationalon the ground with 398 yards on 67 attempts getting 6 yards per carry. The problem for NC State is they are paper thin on both the offensive and defensive line where the games are ultimately won or lost. Pitt is 13-5 ATS on the road the past four seasons and NC State is on a 12-22 ATS run as a home favorite. In their last 15 games as a home favorite of 3 or fewer points, the Wolfpack are just 3-12 ATS. I like the Panthers to win this game.

Totals Play Of The Month
Miami/ Virginia Tech Under 47: Since 2003 this series has averaged just 35.5 ppg. I consider the Canes the best team in the ACC and not just because of their high powered offenes, but also cause this defense is now rounding into form, especially after holding a strong Tech Offense to just 228 total yards last week. Defense has always been a staple of the techsters and even though they have struggled abit yard wise they have still allowed just 19.7 ppg on the year. They do come in ranked 5th in pass efficiency, allowing just 164 ypg on 45.2% completions. Thier problem has been more vs the run this year, but Miami is more of a passing team. Still look for the Canes to test that run defense enough to keep the clock moving, while Tech will rely more on the run as they look to keep the ball away from that high powered offense and shorten the game. I see this game finishing in the 30's.

Teaser Of The Month
3 Team 10 Point Teaser--- Fresno State +27, Boston College +8.5 & Georgia -1.5

4 UNIT PLAY
Fresno State +17 over CINCINNATI: 2 Weeks ago the Bulldogs were 9 point dogs at Wisconsin, so your telling me that the Bearcats are over a TD better than the Badgers. I don't think so. Fresno did nearly win that game and they are 7-7 in their last 14 BCS road games with for of those 7 losses being by 9 total points. Pat hill lives for these games as evidenced by his 15-3 ATS mark as non-conf road dogs of 5 or more. Cincy is a very good team, but frenso has more than enough abilty to keep this one close.

3 UNIT PLAYS
BYU -16 over Colorado State: What a bad spot the Rams are in here after BYU is off their worst home loss since '04. CSU is of to a solid 3-0 start, but havent played anyone with the caliber offense of the Cougars yet. They are off a 35-20 win over a good Nevada team, but were aided by 5 Wolfpack turnovers and were outgained by 51 yards in the contest. BYU was shreded BYU the Noles offense last week and in last years contest they did allow 42 points to these Rams so I look for an angry bunch of BYU defenders to come up big here, while the offense drops a ton of points on the Rams. BYU by 24+.
BOSTON COLLEGE -1.5 over Wake Forest: The Eagles were held to just 54 total yards last week vs Clemson, so you can expect a more spirited effort from this offense. This is wakes 1st roda game of the year and they are 5-15 SU in road openers s/89. BC by a TD here.
MICHIGAN -20 ver Indiana: The Hosiers are just 7-20 ATS in Big 10 road games. Michigan is 30-1 SU in this series and has won the last 5 vs Indiana by 30 ppg. Michigan is on a mission this year, after last years disaster and will take great pleasure in pounding opponents that they should. Indiana is off a good win at Akron, but were facing a team that had suspended their QB a day before the game and the backup had 4 INT's. Michigan again by 30+ here.

2 UNIT PLAYS
Miami -3 over VA TECH: I have been saying it since the start of the year, the Canes are best team in the ACC this year and they will take another step towards proving it with a big win in Blacksburg.
CLEMSON -3 over TCU: Tigers may be second best in ACC and will take care of non-BCS Forned Frogs here, by at least 7 points.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 Handicapper: Mike Handzelek Minnesota U vs. NorthWestern (NCAAF) - 12:00 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Point Spread: 2.5/-115 Minnesota U Play Title: Our Mighty Big Ten Wizardry
Click Here to View Pick Analysis
The Golden Gophers showed a lot of class in hanging with powerful California last week (tied in the 4th Qtr.) before some costly INT's. On the other hand, the Wildcats gave up an alarmingly high dose of yardage to Syracuse yielding 471. Remaining in the minds of Minnesota is last season's loss to the Wildcats. They hovered @ 7-1 before that game and went into a downward spiral shortly thereafter. Revenge is in order here. The Golden Gophers were very respectable on the Big Ten road last year. I look for QB Weber to keep his composure this week as he should have easier pickings with 2 cornerbacks & a linebacker hurt for Northwestern. This series has been dominated by the road team ATS as 13 of the last 14 has been covered by the visitor. The dog has also dominated covering 5 of 7. We say to buy the point to + 3 1/2 and take the Minnesota Golden Gophers for $200.


Handicapper: Mike Handzelek Fresno State vs. Cincinnati U (NCAAF) - 12:00 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Point Spread: 16.5/100 Fresno State Play Title: Live Saturday Barking Loud Dog!
Click Here to View Pick Analysis
This is a scheduling advantage for Fresno State as they played home last Friday night posting 34 on Boise and won't play again til' October 10th @ Hawaii. Cincinnati is coming back from the West Coast trip to Oregon State. The Bulldogs made the last trip to Big East land a happy one when they beat Rutgers 24-7. One thing that has Fresno State buzzing is their ground attack averaging 270 yards a game. That tells us ball control and clock management gets us under the number here. With only 1 defensive starter returning for the Bearcats, it's time for the dog to sneak up and bite them in the end ATS. Cincy QB Tony Pike may be talented enough to get the SU win, but we'll be on the Fresno State Bulldogs who should let it all hang out with 2 weeks off following this one. Buy the point to + 17 1/2 for the line value and take Pat Hill's crew for $200.



Handicapper: Mike Handzelek North Carolina vs. Georgia Tech (NCAAF) - 12:00 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Money Line: -135 Georgia Tech Play Title: NC-Ga Tech Showdown
Click Here to View Pick Analysis
North Carolina has a 3-0 record coming in & should continue their assault on their opponents in this ACC matchup, right? Not so fast! Are Citadel, Connecticut & East Carolina amongst the best teams in college football? Last season saw the Tar Heels knock off the Ramblin' Wreck 28-7 but 3 series started in Tech territory for a big advantage. GT Coach Johnson knows his team put up 423 yards versus NC last season but unfortunately self-destructed. I'm sure his troops will be more opportunistic on the other end this time around @ Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta. The good news hard facts state that Georgia Tech was a perfect 3-0 SU & ATS off a loss last season. These games were @ home like this week and the average scoring was in GT's favor 36-19. Paul Johnson has his team ready after a loss and revenge is in definite order here. Other numbers we cannot ignore are Tech's PERFECT 7-0 mark ATS at home before back-to-back road games & a convincing 9-3 ATS off a double-digit conference road loss. Take the Yellow Jackets outright for $200.




Handicapper: Mike Handzelek Marshall vs. Memphis (NCAAF) - 1:00 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Point Spread: -3/-105 Memphis Play Title: Weak Roadie
Click Here to View Pick Analysis
Memphis got their first win last week versus UT-Martin 41-14 and is blistering with confidence against a Marshall squad who invade Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. The former Maryland Terrapin QB Tyler Bass looked sharp in his first start (4 TD passes, 21-27 for 293 yards) after taking over for Arkelon Hall. Marshall is more like the Blundering Herd in this situation going 1-6 ATS as a road underdog of less than a touchdown. Head Coach Mark Snyder has not has success in competitive games (-7 to +7) versus the spread going just 5-12. Marshall is also 2-5 ATS on the road off a SU dog win. The Thundering Herd hasn'e held opponents down on the orad the last 27 going 3-24 SU when travelling. Their ATS record during this stretch is laso miserable @ 6-19-2. The home team has won all 4 SU in this series so we're seeing the weak roadie Marshall biting the dust here. Take the Memphis Tigers but buy to - 2 1/2 for $200.




Handicapper: Mike Handzelek Rutgers vs. Maryland (NCAAF) - 3:30 PM EDT Premium Pick Pick: Point Spread: -2.5/100 Rutgers Play Title: Weak Sister Going Nowhere Play
Click Here to View Pick Analysis
Sometimes doom and gloom follows a team and it's real tough to get the monkey off their back. Maryland is one of those teams. They go up against a much better defense than they saw from the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State last week. This is a Maryland team that needed OT to beat Div. I-AA James Madison in Week 2. Giving up an average of over 200 yards raises the red flag even @ Byrd Stadium in College Park. Losing 116 career starts across the front lines suggests that the Terrapins' struggles will continue until some experience re-surfaces. Even though the Terps have been a pesky home dog in the past, they haven't put out a product like this in quite some time. One more thing you must realize. Revenge is BIG on Rutgers & their Coach Greg Schiano's mind. It was visiting Maryland who upset them in 2007 knocking them from the unbeaten ranks. Our Weak Sister Going Nowhere is to play against Ralph Friedgen's Terps and lay the -2 1/2 with the Scarlet Knights for $200.

Saturday's College Football Plays

3-Unit Play. #360 Take Georiga Tech -2.5 over North Carolina (9/26 Saturday - 12 p.m. EST)

Tech at home is a tough out, especially with their option attack. UNC has yet to click on offense this year, and this is not defense to face with a struggling offense. I see a low scoring game, but in the end enough big plays made from both sides of the ball from the Yellow Jackets.

3-Unit Play. #309 Take Minnesota +1.5 over Northwestern (9/26 Saturday - 12 p.m. EST)

I think Minnesota has shown more this year, notably their well played game last weekend against Cal. Northwestern allowed too many points and yards to a Syracuse team that lost to these Gophers. Minnesota is a notch or two above the Wildcats in the Big Ten, and it will show here. The road underdog wins.

3-Unit Play. #399 Take Toledo -2 over FIU (9/26 Saturday - 7 p.m. EST)

54 points posted two weeks ago against Colorado and then shutout last Saturday against Ohio State, but Toledo will find a balance between those two efforts this week. Florida International doesn't have the offense to score with the Rockets, at least if the Toledo defense makes a modest effort. I think the winner could have at least 30 here, but the more liklier of the two of scoring that much is the MAC team. We back the better offensive side.

8-Unit Play. Game of the Year. #388 Take Oregon State -2.5 over Arizona (9/26 Saturday - 7:35 p.m. EST)

The Beavers have dominated this series. Oregon State is 9-1 ATS in the last ten meetings and have also covered nine of their last eleven home games overall. And Corvallis is not an easy place to play for opposing teams. And even more so, Arizona has not shown a consistent ability to win on the road in the Mike Stoops Era. 9-18 overall away from Tuscon and 8-13 in Pac-10 play under the former Oklahoma assistent. Mike Riley will have his team ready after a competitive loss to a very good Cincy team last time out. Personnel wise, speed is big for the Rodgers brothers. Jacquizz at tailback and James at wide receiver are touchdown threats every time they touch the ball. Arizona hasn't shown they can stop the ground game, and they face their toughest test with the weapons that the Beavers have on the outside. You also combine the fact that Arizona has not gotten much production from the quarterback position so far and are switching it up and giving sophomore Nick Foles his first college start. That bodes well for the Oregon State defense and the team as a whole at home. Beavers control this game and come through with a cover as our College Football Game of the Year.

3-Unit Play. #367 Take Washington +7.5 over Stanford (9/26 Saturday - 9 p.m. EST)

Several factors make this game not a letdown spot for Washington. Not only does having a first year head coach not wanting to get caught in a trap spot, but Jake Locker also missed this game last year as well. Stanford beat UW in Seattle last year, so Locker and the Huskies will want to seek out another Pac-10 victory and make up for their awful 2008. And with the line moving over a touchdown, more value is on Washington. But I do think there is a good chance for an outright win, and more likely that than a Cardinal double digit win. Stanford is a good team, but the line is off. Linesmakers are expecting a letdown, but I do not forsee one coming in another crucial conference game for Washington. Take the points.

3-Unit Play. #382 Take Houston -1.5 over Texas Tech (9/26 Saturday - 9:15 p.m. EST)

We've been on the Cougars all year, notably having our top futures wager on them with 'Over' 7 wins on the year. Looking really good after their upset win over Oklahoma State, and now we expect it to look golden after knocking off the Red Raiders as well. Offense will dominant this game and by no surprise. But we'll take Case Keenum under center and Byrce Beall with him in the backfield. Houston has so many weapons on offense and an optimistic defense to boot. Cougars win at home in a shootout.

2-Unit Play. Take North Carolina/Georgia Tech 'Under' 47 (9/26 Saturday - 12 p.m. EST)
2-Unit Play. Take Miami/Virginia Tech 'Under' 47.5 (9/26 Saturday - 3:30 p.m. EST)
2-Unit Play. Take Western Kentucky/Navy 'Under' 50.5 (9/26 Saturday - 3:30 p.m. EST)

“The Magnificent 7” Saturday, September 26th, 2009

6 Unit Play. #67 Take California -5 ½ over Oregon (Saturday 3:30 pm ABC) Top Game of the Week. Not always excited about laying points on the road, especially with our top choice; however, this one has the logic to justify the pick. This Bears team is for real and could win the National Championship before this season is over. Their defense is the unit that really stands out, as they return eight starters. The defensive line is not only deep and but very talented. This does not sit well if you are an Oregon fan, as the talent at the skill positions for the Ducks is not what it used to be. QB Jeremiah Masoli has had problems and his receiving core was hit had by graduation.

As for California, the skill positions are loaded with talent behind RB Jahvid Best and QB Kevin Riley. Expect them to pick apart a defense that returns just four starters. The Ducks allowed more total yards to Purdue and Utah then their offense gained and if that happens here, they will be on the wrong side of the pole. Certainly have to give the edge to Coach Tedford over rookie Coach Kelly. Granted the Bears host USC next week; however, I see no look ahead here, as Tedford will assure that does not happen. No hibernation for the Bears in Berkley! Cal 35, Oregon 14.

5 Unit Play. #89 Take Iowa +9 ½ over Penn State (Saturday 8 pm ABC) Top Big 10 Play. This is the fourth straight home game for the Nittany Lions and they will be looking for revenge after losing last year, 24-23. One would think that the home team should be the call here, but not so fast! This Iowa team is not Akron, Temple, or Syracuse for that matter. The Hawks are loaded on defense with a solid defensive line and linebackers that are as good as anyone in the country. This core should give QB Clarke and RB Royster a real challenge. When one talks about defense, the Nittany Lions linebackers are always mentioned among the best. But this year’s group has been hit hard by injuries.Navorro Bowman is probable with a groin injury, Michael Mauti is out with a torn ACL, and Sean Lee is questionable with a sprained knee. With only four starters back, this unit was very thin already.

As for the Hawks offense, the OL is solid and the QB is in good hands with Ricky Stanzi. The real concern for the Hawks is the running back, with Shonn Greene in the NFL and Jewel Hampton lost due to injury. RB’s Wagher and Robinson have stepped in well and looked very impressive thus far. Always tough to go against the Lions at Happy Valley; however, I think this game will go to the wire. The Hawks have the coaching and the talent to make this a thriller. Iowa won last year with a thriller and Penn State will return the favor in 2009. Penn State 24, Iowa 23.

5 Unit Play. #65 Take Illinois +14 over Ohio State (Saturday 3:30 pm ABC) Top Underdog Play. The Illini opened the season with an embarrassing performance against Missouri and now one has to wonder if this team will stay on the path or throw in the towel? Coming off a bye week and a roster full of talent I expect them to play to their potential this week. Illinois has played the Buckeyes tough the past two seasons winning in Columbus, 28-21 in 2007 and losing, 30-20 in 2008. The game last year was misleading, as Illinois outgained Ohio State by over 100 yards.

As for the Buckeyes, this is not the same team as the past couple of seasons. Their offense is in disarray and they have yet to replace RB Beanie Wells. They have a talented QB in Terrelle Pryor but QB Juice Williams has more ability and leadership then him at the moment. What this really boils down to is that this is just too many points to be laying if you think Ohio State will win the game. Both sides are equal in talent and playing in Columbus certainly does not give the Buckeyes a two touchdown advantage. Would like to call the upset; however, I feel the Buckeyes will pull it out by a field goal. Ohio State 27, Illinois 24.

4 Unit Play. #40 Take Over 48 in Minnesota @ Northwestern (Saturday 12 pm Big Ten Network) Top Totals Play. Neither team has been able to establish a strong running attack and have had to rely on the pass in order to move the football. Passing slows down the clock and gives each team more possessions and more time to light up the scoreboard. Look for a lot of that in this game, especially since no team has an outstanding defense. This is a very tough game to pick a winner and I would wager that whoever has the ball last will emerge victorious in what will be a high scoring affair. Have no real choice in who will come out on top, but this game will go way over the number. Northwestern 31, Minnesota 30.

4 Unit Play. #7 Take Wake Forest +1 ½ over Boston College (Saturday 2 pm ESPN Gameplan) Went against BC last week as one of our top plays and easily won and will ride the horse against this week. As I previously mentioned, the Eagles lost most of their defensive firepower to graduation and this season’s linebackers have been hit really hard by injuries. BC has still not named a quarterback for this game and the offense is really sputtering. They got just four first downs and 54 yards last week vs. Clemson.

I do not see things getting any better here facing Coach Jim Grobe’s team with a veteran offense and a defense that has been much better then predicted. The Demon Deacons have a major edge at quarterback here with Riley Skinner and look for him to put up big numbers. Wake Forest also have revenge on their minds losing to BC in 2007 & 2008. Coach Grobe and company will be ready for the first road game of 2009. Wake Forest 24, Boston College 10.

4 Unit Play. #30 Take Kentucky +21 ½ over Florida (Saturday 6 pm ESPN 2) No question the Gators are the best team in the land; however, even the powers have their days in the sun and a day in the rain. I totally respect Coach Brooks and although Kentucky does not have the talent of Florida, you can be sure he will have his team ready to play. Kentucky was crushed last year, 63-5 and thus no emotional speech will be needed since pride is at stake. One must remember that Kentucky entered that game last year off of three close encounters with Alabama, South Carolina, and a 1-point victory over Arkansas. The Florida game was the 2nd biggest loss in Coach Brook’s career.

Florida is coming off a victory over Tennessee, but it did not turn out to be the whipping that everyone thought it would be. Throw in the fact that the Gators have some key injuries and some problems with the flu, a cakewalk on Saturday is not in the cards. An angry Wildcat team is nothing to mess around with. Florida 34, Kentucky 24.

4 Unit Play. #45 Take Michigan State +3 over Wisconsin (Saturday 12 pm ESPN) This is a do or die game for the Spartans, as this team enters the conference opener having lost two straight games. I am sure that Coach Dantonio has pointed out the fact that the real season starts now and they still have a chance to achieve greatness in the Big 10. I felt since the start of the season, this team has a good chance to win the Big 10 since they do not play Ohio State and have Penn State in East Lansing. The QB position is in good hands with Kirk Cousins, who leads the conference in passing rating. They have talented wide receivers that should give a weak Badger secondary trouble all day long. MSU is solid on defense with 8 starters returning and remember that the Spartans did win 3 of 4 road conference games in 2008.

As for Wisconsin, QB Tolzien has looked outstanding and is ranked just behind Cousins in passer rating; however, the Badgers have had problems moving the football on the ground. This will hurt them dearly in the Big Ten, especially with a suspect defense that has trouble getting off the field. Wisconsin has not been behind all season and this game will tell us if they are for real or just pretenders. Look for the Badgers winning streak to end here, as the Spartans are up against the wall and need this win. Michigan State 31, Wisconsin 20.

3* on Southern Miss +14

Southern Miss is one of the better teams in the country that nobody knows about. Kansas is about to find that out Saturday. The Golden Eagles (3-0) are sixth in the FBS in run defense, allowing 51.7 yards per game. They have held their opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing in their last eight games, all victories. Southern Miss limited Virginia to 78 yards on the ground Saturday in a 37-34 win. The Golden Eagles are tied with Mississippi for the nation's second-longest win streak behind Florida (13). "We feel like our kids understand what we expect and they have higher expectations for themselves now," coach Larry Fedora said. "We're excited about where we're going." Golden Eagles sophomore quarterback Austin Davis has not thrown an interception in his last 128 passes. Not turning the ball over will be huge in this big road game that will put Southern Miss on the map if they win. The Golden Eagles are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. Take Southern Miss and the points.

5* Wiseguy ACC GAME OF THE WEEK on Georgia Tech -2

Georgia Tech is down in the public eye right now and folks are starting to forget about them. But don't sleep on the Yellow Jackets, because this team is still one of the best teams in the ACC and they will make a run at the conference title before it's all said and done. They face North Carolina Saturday, a team that has committed 7 turnovers already through 3 games. The Yellow Jackets thrive off of turnovers, and they'll be very hungry defensively after getting torched by Miami last week. Georgia Tech has also has 2 extra days to prepare after playing last Thursday, which will be a big factor because the Yellow Jackets were clearly tired last week against Miami, having played 3 games in 13 days. Georgia Tech is 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) when playing with 8 days rest since 1992. The Yellow Jackets are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. Take Georgia Tech and lay the points.

6* Widow Wiseguy SEC GAME OF THE YEAR on Mississippi State +13.5

BIG LETDOWN SPOT FOR LSU. The Florida Gators are coming to town next week, and it's only human nature for teams to look ahead when they are about to face the defending National Champions. Mississippi State is certainly improved this year, and they have a great shot to pull off the upset Saturday. The Bulldogs won at Vanderbilt 15-3 last week by holding the Commodores to only 33 rushing yards on 29 carries and 124 passing yards on 12-of-32 attempts. So for the game, the Bulldogs gave up just 157 total yards. LSU's offense is not explosive this season, but their defense is solid. We don't feel the Tigers can score enough points to win by two touchdowns, let alone with the game outright. LSU's highest rushing total in 3 games is 178 and their highest passing total in 3 games is 172. Mississippi State is averaging 222 rushing yards per game, and that's come against good competition other than Jackson State. LSU has given up over 100 yards rushing in all 3 games so far, so the Bulldogs will be able to move the ball on the ground and win the time of possession battle. LSU is 0-8 ATS (-8.8 Units) after 3 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons. The Tigers are 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) after a 2 game home stand over the last 3 seasons. LSU is 1-10 ATS (-10.0 Units) versus good rushing teams - averaging >=4.75 rushing yards/carry over the last 3 seasons. That's a 24-1 (96%) ATS Angle backing the Bulldogs. Their ability to move the ball on the ground will be the difference in this game, especially with LSU looking ahead to the Gators. Take Mississippi State and the points.

PAC-10 CALIFORNIA / OREGON RIVALRY ANALYSIS
Evan Altemus

This game has been one of the biggest rivalries in college football over the last few years. As a result, each team brings their best effort into this game and is one thing that must be considered. These emotional rivalry games have a way of leveling the playing field sometimes, even though one team may come into the game with a seemingly significant advantage.
With these types of games, I like to look at the series history because the quality of athletes usually stays the same over the years at schools, unless a significant change is brought on, good or bad, by a new coach. First thing I noticed is that the home team has won outright in five of the last six meetings between these two teams. However, Cal has won four out of the last five meetings between these two teams, including a win at Oregon in 2007. Also, the Ducks haven't had a convincing win over the Bears since 2001, as their 2005 win came in overtime. Another trend I noticed is that this meeting has gone under the total in six of the last eight meetings, including last year's 26-16 win by the Bears.
Next, I looked at the current state of each team heading into this game. California has looked good so far this season, but they really haven't been tested. Last week's win at Minnesota was somewhat of a quality win, but they allowed the Golden Gophers to keep the game tied until the 4th quarter. The Bears did suffer a bad injury in that game, as their star receiver, Nyan Boateng, will be out for several weeks with a foot injury. He really opened the offense and was a favorite target of Kevin Riley. Meanwhile, Oregon comes in having played much stiffer competition, with a road game at Boise State and home games against Purdue and Utah. However, the Ducks offense looked absolutely anemic against a Boise State defense that didn't look particularly impressive last week at Fresno State. They will also severely miss star running game LeGarrette Blount for the rest of the season. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli has not looked either, completing only 45% of his passes with two interceptions. The close home win by Oregon over Purdue is much more telling to me than the loss at Boise State. The Ducks should have dominated the Boilermakers in that game, as they had all of the motivation of rebounding from the Boise State game, as well as playing their first home game of the season. However, Purdue, not a particularly good team, kept the game close down to the wire. That outcome is very telling about Oregon.
Overall I would love to have a reason to take Oregon with the points. However, they have not looked good so far this season, and they have a first year head coach. The Ducks must be able to run the ball in order have success on offense, but California has a very good rush defense, yielding only 62 yards per game on the ground. I expect Oregon's defense to play very motivated as well though, and the injury to Boateng will severely impact the Cal offense. I feel that this total is inflated based on the misconception that both teams have explosive offenses. However, I expect this game to be fiercely contested and lower scoring than people think. My recommendation is to take a two unit play on the under.

[Mr. IWS]

OC Dooley:

"1 UNIT" NATIONAL-TV COLLEGE TOTAL (Miami at Virginia Tech OVER 47 in a 3:35 eastern kickoff on ABC-TV regional or ESPN2): There is some risk with this total because these two teams played a very low scoring game a year ago (14-12) and there is an 80% chance of rain in the forecast. However that forecast is ultimately going to help lower this total as the afternoon progreses which gives us some value to work with. For more than a decade Virginia Tech has built a winning football program by "creating" touchdowns on both special teams and defense and I feel at least one turnover in the rainy conditions is going to lead to a score. But the real key to this total has to do with a Miami offense that in recent seasons had become very predictable and somewhat "vanilla". So far in 2009 that certainly has not been the case with the help of a new offensive coordinator's schemes that has made quarterback Jacory Harris (656 PASS yards for season) a star. With the Hurricanes being seen across the entire country in primetime twice already, Harris with one more solid performance is going to instantly become a Heisman Trophy darkhorse. Today he and the Hurricanes will be facing a Virginia Tech defense which typically has been one of the country's best, but currently has a very low national ranking (#107) due to a poor performance opening week versus Alabama. It personally came as no shock to me or my clients that Virginia Tech played a very low scoring game last week against a very physical Nebraska squad that has a defensive oriented head coach. But what was interesting about last week is that Virginia Tech ultimately pulled out a victory on an 81-YARD touchdown pass. Last Saturday many Hokies fans left early and were booing a Virginia Tech attack they deemed too predictable, but at least the Hokies attack enters a new week with the confidence that they can complete several long passes. As menitoned earlier there is an 80% chance of rain today which makes the rushing attacks of both teams critical. So far this season Virginia Tech's defense is allowing the opposition to rush for a shocking average of 200 yards per game. If Miami can establish a solid running game, that will only make their quarterback more dangerous. As for the Hokies they are off a 16-15 nailbiter which opens the door to an interesting angle from my database research. Ever since Frank Beamer has been head coach, Virginia Tech is a shocking 8-1 OVER the total when off a CLOSE win of 3-or-less points

Steven Budin-CEO SUNDAY'S PICK NEW YORK CREW

25 DIME RELEASE

Arizona


Note: This line is mainly -2 1/2 with an occasional -3 as I release it on Saturday morning.

If your price is -3, go ahead and buy down the 1/2 point to -2 1/2 to insure you get a win should Arizona only prevail by a field goal at home.

Should this line escalate to -3 1/2 by kickoff, you would naturally buy down the 1/2 point to -3 to make sure you get a push should the final margin of victory for Arizona be only a field goal.

Take it from a former bookmaker and the guy who fathered the offshore sportsbook industry: we're using the power of money - our bulging bankroll - against the bookmaker in these cases.

Why not buy a little extra insurance at a few cents on the dollar to protect your investment? As CEO of a multi-million dollar company I can tell you it's the right move, just like I knew it was the right move when as a bookmaker I saw smart players doing the same thing when the opportunity presented itself.

CLEMSON TIGERS -2.5 over tcu

Here we are again. Let me bring you back to last week when we went with Oregon, playing as an unranked team, against the nationally ranked Utah Utes, who just happened to be riding the longest winning streak in the nation at 16 games. Oregon, somehow is not just favored, but favored by a nice amount and what happens, they win a game that was never really as close as the final score indicated.

Today we have Clemson, unranked, playing against the nationally ranked TCU Horned Frogs. Clemson comes in 2-1, TCU comes in 2-0 and again, somehow, the unranked team is favored at home. Thank you very much to the oddsmakers because they just told us another winner.

I always say that oddsmakers know more then we ever will and if they are telling us Clemson is the favorite, that means they believe Clemson is the better team and sometimes you just have to listen to what they say to us.

Also, Clemson has played "real" competition the last couple weeks in Georgia Tech and Boston College. Those are legit ACC teams and Clemson has fared very well. TCU played an ACC joke in Virginia and Texas State, who I didn't even know had a team. Just like we saw Thursday with Ole Miss, who hadn't played tough competition before heading into South Carolina, I feel TCU will have their struggles.

Listen, Clemson is one of the fastest teams in the nation and I feel they will score points in bunches today with big plays on offense and special teams. The defense is off a dominating performance against BC and I do feel they will get after TCU today. Clemson is the faster team and the oddsmakers know they are the better team, which is why they are favored in the damn game. Unranked at home favored over a ranked team is always something to look at and this one here should be an easy blowout winner I feel. Clemson minus the points is my play.

Boise State Broncos -16.5 over BOWLING GREEEN

No analysis available with lower rated plays but I will say it's raining at NC State and both defenses have better athletes then both offenses so I expect an easy under there and if Boise State doesn't win by 50 I will be surprised. The only reason the Broncos aren't my top rated play was because I was a little afraid of their travel schedule right now having played at Fresno last week and now having to travel across the country to get to BG.

Scott Rickenbach

Game: TCU at Clemson Sep 26 2009 3:30PM
Prediction: TCU
Reason: Scott Rickenbach’s College Football Game #317 – 10* (Top Play) TCU Horned Frogs (+) @ Clemson @ 3:30 PM ET –

First off, we want to emphasize here that we are aware of the fact that there could be rain during this game at Clemson on Saturday afternoon. However, the field does drain very well – in fact that was evident in last week’s game versus Boston College where there were two stoppages of play due to inclement weather. Additionally, we feel that the rain does not hinder our “play on” team here as TCU is fully capable of winning this game in the trenches and grinding out a win. That would be on the strength of their own ground game and the fact that the Horned Frogs defense can focus on shutting down the Tigers run game since Clemson has a freshman quarterback and their offense has often struggled for long periods of time as a result.

While the Tigers got a big win over Boston College last week, their offense did sputter at times and their defense faces a much bigger challenge here from the Horned Frogs than they did from the Eagles last week. While TCU hasn’t even opened up conference action yet, and their game next week is also a non-conference game (against SMU), the Tigers are in a tough ACC sandwich here. They’ve already played two conference games (lost at Georgia Tech, beat Boston College at home last week) and Clemson has an ACC game on deck with a game at Maryland up next. While the Tigers are already watching the ACC standings, the Horned Frogs aren’t even concerned with their MWC Standings yet. The Mountain West action doesn’t even begin for them until they visit Air Force on October 10th. That said, it’s a very focused TCU team that is visiting Clemson on Saturday. Head Coach Gary Patterson and his Horned Frogs are still playing the “no respect” card as an MWC team – we all remember the fuss about Utah’s undefeated season last year as a school in a non-BCS Conference. This lack of respect serves TCU well in a game like this because they have additional motivation and are out to prove they belong.

One of the things we love about TCU in this spot is that, as well as they played, coach Patterson has them believing that they should have (and need to be) much better. They dominated Virginia even more than the final score showed as it was two late touchdowns for the Cavaliers that made them game look much closer than it really was. Also, the offense excelled last week against Texas State, an FCS foe, but the defense looked disinterested at times and wasn’t flying around against the Bobcats. Again, this serves as additional motivation this week and you can bet that the Horned Frogs are fully prepared to fly to the ball against the Tigers and try to “state their case” at Clemson. While the Tigers have RB CJ Spiller back, the losses of QB Cullen Harper and RB James Davis are proving to be huge for this team. The offense has struggled at times under redshirt freshman QB Kyle Parker. Also, this offense lost WR Aaron Kelly, their leading receiver, from last season’s team. Contrast this with a Horned Frogs offense that is led by a junior QB, Andy Dalton, who is also a dangerous runner plus RB Joseph Turner is a senior RB that leads a very tough rushing attack.

The Horned Frogs losses last season came at Oklahoma and at Utah but they actually had more first downs than the Sooners and they dominated the Utes with a huge statistical edge. They lost both of those games on turnovers and this is adding even more value to a team that totally dominated Boise State in the Poinsettia Bowl last season and should have won by much more than a one point margin. They are every bit deserving of their current ranking in the Top 25 and the Frogs come in fully focused here while there are a few concerns for the Tigers here in addition to the “ACC sandwich spot” that they are in. Clemson has scored just one TD on nine trips inside the red zone this season. QB Parker has looked like a freshman already this season with two poorly thrown interceptions against the Eagles a perfect example of this in last week’s game. Also, the Tigers star left tackle, Chris Hairston, is dealing with a sprained left knee and Clemson really needs him in there (if healthy) because the Horned Frogs DE Jerry Hughes is lining up on the other side and is an All-American. Also, a flu bug was running through the team earlier this week and certainly did the Tigers no favors. Look for Clemson to fall short here against a hungry Horned Frogs that is extremely motivated for making a statement in this non-conference affair! Play TCU plus the points as a 10* Top Play selection.

Dominic Fazzini Saturday's plays 20 Dime -- OREGON STATE (minus points vs. Arizona)
5 Dime -- PURDUE (plus points vs. Notre Dame)

OREGON STATE

This is a big game for both teams as they enter Pac-10 play, and I think the Beavers have what it takes to come away a winner today.

Oregon State has won nine of the last 10 meetings with Arizona by an average of 31-14, including a 19-17 victory in Tucson last year. OSU also is 9-1 ATS in those games.

The Beavers have went 2-1 this season, beating Portland State 34-7 and UNLV 23-21 before losing at home last week to No. 17 Cincinnati, 28-18, ending a 26-game home winning streak in nonconference games.

That loss is going to drive Oregon State to bounce back today against the Wildcats, who opened the season with wins over Central Michigan (19-6) and Northern Arizona (34-17) before losing 27-17 at Iowa last Saturday.

Arizona's offense is not as dynamic as Cincinnati's or UNLV's, so the Beavers should be able to stay in control today behind the running of star tailback Jacquizz Rodgers. That should help neutralize Wildcats running back Nic Grigsby, who has rushed for 400 yards and three touchdowns this season. Plus, Arizona is starting a new quarterback, Michigan State transfer Nick Foles, so OSU should be able to load up against the Wildcats' running game.

Arizona is 0-3 straight up as a road 'dog the last five years coming off of a road loss, and the Beavers are 7-2 ATS and SU the last five years coming off of a home loss. The favorite in this series also has covered 10 of the past 13 meetings.

Even with last week's loss, Oregon State has won 16 of its last 21 games in Corvallis. I think the Beavers get the job done again today. Take OSU to cover the points.

PURDUE

Notre Dame managed to edge Michigan State 33-30 last week, but coach Charlie Weis is hardly off the hot seat. And the flames are going to get higher after the Fighting Irish's game tonight at Purdue.

Notre Dame's top offensive threats are all banged up. Quarterback Jimmy Clausen is slowed by turf toe on his right foot, but should still play. However, running back Armando Allen is going to be a game-time decision because of an injured right ankle, and star receiver Michael Floyd could be out for the season with a broken collerbone.

Purdue averages 210.7 yards rushing per game, led by sophomore Ralph Bolden, and should be able to control the clock against the Irish, limiting Notre Dame's scoring opportunities. And it's not like the Boilermakers can't pile up the points themselves, as they average 36.3 points per game.

As long as Purdue QB Joey Elliott takes care of the ball and is efficient in the passing game, this game is going to stay close the entire way. Plus, with a night game in West Lafayette, the Boilermakers' faithful are going to be lathered up and rocking and rolling at Ross-Ade Stadium.

Better put some ice on your ass before the game, Weis, that seat might be getting a little hotter. Take Purdue to cover the points tonight.

4 Unit Play. Take Under 8 between St. Louis Cardinals @ Colorado Rockies (Saturday @ 8 pm est). These two teams are two of the best in the league and these games mean a good bit to the Rockies who look to stay ahead of the surging Braves. The Cardinals won a big game yesterday and they look to have Wainwright bounce-back given his last few starts. Wainwright has pitched 9 of 10 quality starts and continues to roll along and although he fell short over his last two starts, he will look to seek the win here. Wainwright has given up just four runs over the last 21 innings and he continues to pitch very well for the Cardinals as he along with Carpenter are both seeking the Cy Young. Despite pitching back to back quality starts, the Cardinals lost back to back starts in which Wainwright has hurled in. Jiminez needs to have a quality start as well today at home as he looks to help his team win once again at home. The Under is 5-1-1 in Wainwright's last seven starts and the Under is 7-1 in Jiminez's last 8 starts as a favorite.

Good luck,
IC

Guaranteed Pick: Marc Lawrence

Game: Miami FL at Virginia Tech Sep 26 2009 3:30PM
Prediction: Virginia Tech
Reason: Play On: Virginia Tech (Game 374) Note: When the Hokies host the Hurricanes in Blacksburg in a key ACC clash Saturday afternoon they will have plenty of edges working in their favor. For openers, Virginia Tech has been like money in the bank at home when playing with conference revenge under head coach Frank Beamer, going 17-4 SU and ATS. Inside those numbers, Beamer is 14-2 SU and ATS when his team allows less than 20 PPG on the season, including 7-0 SU and ATS when facing an opponent allowing 18 or more PPG on the season. His team is also 18-1 SU in its last 19 games at Lane Stadium. Va Tech is also 21-6 SU and ATS in its last 27 games against undefeated opposition, including 20-1 SU and 17-4 ATS when not taking six or more points in the game. On the other side, Miami has struggled in games in Blacksburg in the past, dropping 5 of their last 7 games on this field. They are also 0-5 ATS laying points at Lane Stadium. That factors into the Canes' 1-9 ATS mark as a favorite against a conference opponent off a win, including 0-8 ATS if the foe is not undefeated. The clincher, though is an awesome angle from our powerful database that tells us to: Play Against any Game Three conference road favorite that is 2-0 SU and ATS if that covered the spread by more than 10 points in its last game and are facing an opponent that is not undefeated. That's because these teams are 0-14 ATS since 1980. Yes, Miami is an improved team but this is the spot where perfect seasons are often ruined and under these circumstances the Hurricanes will be headed back to South Beach with the wind out of their sails from it's first loss of the 2009 season. We recommend a 5-unit play on Virginia Tech.

[Mr. IWS]

Triple Threat Sports

3* Washington (+) over Stanford

This line seems to be based on the idea that Washington is going to suffer a massive letdown after beating USC last week. First off, do not think Sarkisian would let that happen to this team, and secondly, each of the last two seasons the teams that have pulled off the early season Pac 10 upset of the Trojans have gone on to cover the next game, so the letdown has not been as pronounced as some may think. Also, this is a veteran Washington team, as 18 of the 22 starters were starters last year and 14 of them played decent minutes in at least the 2007 season, some more than that. So, even though it seems like all is new at UW, there is enough experience here (more than both Stanford in 07 and Oregon State in 08 had) to avoid that letdown. As such, will handicap this game on merit and talent, and in that respect do not believe Stanford should be this big of a favorite. The Huskies were only a couple of plays away from beating LSU in the opener and controlled things in Week 2 in what was a massive lookahead spot. Remember, before the injury riddled debacle that was last season, this UW team was quite competitive with Jake Locker at the helm, and in fact it was against Stanford that he got injured last year. Even without Locker for the entirety of that game, the Huskies finished with a 27-21 first down edge. Stanford has a double revenger against UCLA up next and is 1-5 SU and 2-4 (both covers vs USC) for Harbaugh against ranked teams. In the end have to take the points in this one.

[Mr. IWS]

BRIAN GABRIELLE

Matchup: Iowa at Penn St
Pick: Penn St -9

This game is a lot like the Michigan/Indiana game in that both teams are undefeated, but only one is for real. That team is Penn State.

The Lions certainly will be licking their chops at the rpospect of getting Iowa here in Happy Valey with revenge on the brain from last season. You see, the Lions had a perfect season going in 2008 and a national title game appearance was within reach until the team was upended, 24-23, on a last- second field goal by Iowa in early November, dashing any hopes of the National Championship. That win was nothing new in the series, as Iowa has come out on top in 6 of the last 7 meetings.

That changes today.

The Nittany Lions have has outscored their first three opponents by a combined score of 90-20 and all three victories came at home, where the team has won 30 of its last 32 games, including last weeks 31-6 rout of instate rival Temple. In fact, Penn States defense held all 3 of it's first 3 opponents to 7 points or less.

Predicted Score: Penn St. 28, Iowa 13

Take Penn St.

4* on Virginia Tech +3

Virginia Tech catching points at home? The oddsmakers have this one all wrong folks. Miami is a good football team, but they are still very young and this road game will be too much for them to handle. Young players also tend to listen to the hype more than veteran players, and the Hurricanes are soaking it all in right now through the media. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech is going under the radar after winning the ACC last year and making a BCS Bowl game. The Hokies love being in this position, because year in and year out they simply find a way to win. Their victory over Nebraska last week was no small accomplishment, either. Virginia Tech is 9-5 SU and 11-3 ATS versus Miami since 1995, including 5-1 against the spread record at Lane Stadium. The Hokies are 26-11 ATS (+13.9 Units) after 2 consecutive game where they committed 1 or less turnovers since 1992. The Hokies are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog. Miami is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as a road favorite, and 9-23 ATS in their last 32 following an ATS win. Take Virginia Tech and the points.

3* on Oregon +7

Most have written the Ducks off after their 8-19 road loss to Boise State to open the season. But quietly, Oregon has put together back-to-back wins against quality opponents in Purdue and Utah. Cal is a great team and one of the best in the Pac-10, but they did struggle to beat Minnesota on the road last week in a very close game throughout. Jahvid Best rushed for all 5 of Cal's touchdowns in that one, but we feel the Ducks will have an answer for Best Saturday. Oregon is giving up just 3.3 yards per carry this season, and that's come against teams with good running games. They held Boise to just 31 yards on 17 carries. Oregon is 6-1 SU & 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home meetings with Cal. After losing the last 2 meetings to the Bears, look for Oregon to come out a little extra motivated for this one to get back into the national picture. Cal is 2-13 ATS (-12.3 Units) as a road favorite of 7 points or less since 1992. Take Oregon and the points.

3* on Kentucky +22

This is an in-between game for the Florida Gators. What we mean by that is Florida was very hyped to play Tennessee last weekend, and they'll be very hyped to play LSU next weekend down in Baton Rouge. That makes this a look-ahead game for the Gators, while this is the biggest game in the minds of Kentucky players perhaps ever. It's clear the Florida is lacking the same explosiveness they had last year en route to a national title. The Gators managed to put up just 23 points against Tennessee, and only 323 yards of total offense. The Vols' defense is good, but Tebow is lacking weapons outside like Percy Harvin who can turn a small gain into a touchdown. Florida's last meeting at Kentucky was in 2007, where the Gators escaped with a 45-37 victory. They'll have to escape with one again Saturday, because they aren't about to blow Kentucky out of their own building. Florida players are also battling the flu right now. Running back Jeff Demps, tight end Aaron Hernandez and defensive end Jermaine Cunningham were isolated last week because of flulike symptoms. They all took the field against the Vols, but none seemed to play up to par. Demps, who had a 101-degree temperature, ran four times for 31 yards and a touchdown. Hernandez caught four passes for 26 yards, while Cunningham finished with one tackle. Kentucky is 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games as a home underdog. Take the Wildcats and the points.

4* on Army +10

Iowa State should not be favored by double-digits over a good Army team. Remember, the Cyclones lost at home to Iowa 35-3 two weeks ago and this team is still rebuilding. Army is built to win right now, and they are 2-1 in the early going. Had it not been for two interceptions returned for touchdowns against Duke, the Black Knights would be 3-0. They outgained the Blue Devils 385-236 in that game, but 4 turnovers cost them the win. Army is rushing for 258 yards per game through 3 games. Iowa State is giving up 200 rushing yards per game through 2 home games this year. The Black Knights are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big 12 & 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. Iowa State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Take Army and the points.

4* on Colorado State +17

The Rams are quietly 3-0 to start the season with good wins over Colorado and Nevada. BYU is deflated right now after losing to Florida State 54-28 last weekend in Provo. The Cougars will come out flat Saturday after having their BCS aspirations crushed last week. Colorado State won't have any problem getting motivated for this one Saturday. The Rams lost 42-45 at home last year to the Cougars as 16-point underdogs. Colorado State has had this one circled on their calendars for about 9 months. Colorado State is 18-6 ATS (+11.4 Units) against teams who commit 2.5 or more turnovers/game on the season since 1992. The Rams have forced 10 turnovers in 3 games, while BYU has committed 10 turnovers in 3 games. Right now, CSU is +7 in turnover margin and BYU is -4. The turnover battle will be won by CSU, giving the Rams a chance to win this thing outright. Take Colorado State and the points.

4* on Oregon State +1

Oregon State is getting no respect early in the season, and that's why they are getting the right price Saturday. This team has only lost to Cincinnati 28-18 at home, and the Bearcats are worthy of being a Top-5 team this season. Now they face Arizona at home, a team that has one of the worst offenses in the country. The Wildcats put up just 17 points last week at Iowa, and one of those touchdowns was a defensive score. They rushed for 148 yards which was respectable, but completed just 10-of-26 passes for 105 yards. Oregon State is stout against the run, which will take away Arizona's strength and force the Wildcats to put the ball in the air. The Beavers are giving up only 78 rushing yards per game and 3.2 yards per carry in 3 games. Oregon State is 9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) in home games after allowing 125 or less rushing yards in 3 straight games since 1992. Take the Beavers and the points.
