4* on Louisville +13.5(-110 at BetUs)

Connecticut is a team that should not be favored by double-digits against almost any Division-1 team. The Huskies win their games by playing sound defense and running the football, which isn't a formula for blowouts. UConn has played 5 games this season, and 4 of the Huskies' games have been decided by 8 points or less. The lone exception was a 52-10 home win over Rhode Island as a 34.5-point favorite. Louisville is coming off a huge win over a very good Southern Miss team, giving them confidence heading into Saturday's match-up with UConn. The previous week the Cardinals had Pittsburgh down at halftime before letting the Panthers off the hook. No matter how you put it, UConn is not 13 points better than Louisville. The last two meetings in this series were decided by 5 and 4 points, respectively with the Huskies winning both times. That places the revenge factor with Louisville in the upcoming 2009 meeting. The Cardinals are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog of 10.5 or greater and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 October games. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Take Louisville and the points.


4* on Arkansas +24.5(-105 at 5dimes)

Arkansas is getting their act together after blowout wins in back-to-back weeks. They beat Texas A&M 47-19 two weeks ago as a 2-point favorite and then followed that up with a 44-23 victory over Auburn as a 2-point underdog. Head coach Bobby Petrino has his team peaking at the right time with Florida up next. The Gators are in a letdown spot here after beating #4 LSU 13-3 last week. That was the biggest game left on their schedule, and when Florida lets up just a little bit Saturday it will be enough for Arkansas to sneak in and get the cover against this ridiculously huge spread. Arkansas is scoring 37.4 points/game and putting up 452 yards of total offense/game. They have already faced Alabama, so they won't be phased by a team the caliber of Florida. Arkansas is battle-tested and they are playing their best ball of the season right now which gives them a fighting chance. The Razorbacks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in October. The Razorbacks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU win of more than 20 points. Take Arkansas and the points.


4* on Kentucky +14(-110 at SIA)

Auburn finally lost their first game of the season, 23-44, to Arkansas last week. The Tigers are a bit overrated right now after their fast start, and they are not 14 points better than the Wildcats Saturday. Kentucky has faced 3 very tough games in a row, which has them battle-tested and ready to give Auburn a run for their money this weekend. The Wildcats lost to Florida 7-41, but they were down 31-0 at halftime and fought tough in the second half. They improved with their next game in a 20-38 loss to Alabama, but 4 turnovers did them in. The Wildcats lost 26-28 at South Carolina last week after a failed 2-point conversion at the end that would have tied it. So as you can see, Kentucky is improving with every game and they are primed to come out with their best effort of the season Saturday. Auburn has actually gotten worse with every game they've played this season, and their defense has given up 22 or more points in each of their last 5 games. For the season, the Tigers are allowing 27.2 points/game. We don't see Auburn getting enough stops on that end to keep Kentucky from covering this two-touchdown spread, let alone win the game. The Wildcats are scoring 34.0 points/game on the road this year. Auburn is 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) after a game where they forced 1 or less turnovers over the last 2 seasons. Kentucky is 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) as a road underdog of 7.5 to 14 points since 1992. Take Kentucky and the points.


5* Sooners/Longhorns ABC "T ot al" Mo ne y M a ker on OVER 51(-101 at 5dimes)

Fireworks will ensue Saturday in the Red River Rivalry as both offenses light it up once again. When you consider Oklahoma is scoring 35.0 points/game without their starting QB for half of it and Texas is putting up 47.2 points/game this season, you can see why the odds makers have set this Total well too low Saturday. Last year Texas won 45-35 for 80 combined points. Though 80 points are not expected again in this year's meeting, it wouldn't surprise us to see a similar final score in 2009. Oklahoma is 9-1 OVER (+7.9 Units) against conference opponents over the last 2 seasons. Texas is 11-3 OVER (+7.7 Units) after 3 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons. The Longhorns are 16-5 OVER (+10.5 Units) versus excellent offensive teams - averaging >=450 yards/game since 1992. After 80 combined points last year, all value is on the OVER Saturday especially with both starting QB's in Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy back leading their offenses. Take the OVER 51 points here.


6* 2 00 9 M ou n ta in W es t G AM E OF THE Y EA R on Air Force -10(-110 at SIA)

Air Force actually finds themselves sitting behind Wyoming in the standings right now. The Falcons are 3-3 after back-to-back heartbreaking losses against Navy and TCU. They lost both games by a field goal, so look for Air Force to come out very hungry Saturday at home against 4-2 Wyoming. The Cowboys have won 3 straight since losing to Colorado 0-24 on the road, and they are riding high right now. But Wyoming players are about to get knocked off their pedestal as Air Force hits them in the mouth with one of the best rushing attacks in the country. The Falcons are averaging 281 rushing yards/game this year. Air Force beat Wyoming 23-3 on the road last season behind 261 rushing yards from their offense, and 5 turnovers forced by their defense. The Falcons are forcing their opponents to cough up the ball again this year, forcing 20 turnovers in just 6 games. They have only turned the ball over 4 times for a +16 turnover margin. We always like teams like this that take care of the ball and win the turnover battle. Air Force is probably the best 3-3 team in the country, with their only losses coming by 7 points at Minnesota, 3 points against Navy and 3 points against a Top-25 TCU team last week. This team is certainly underrated right now, and that's why this line is so soft at just 10 points. Air Force is 13-0 ATS (+13.0 Units) when the total is between 42.5 and 49 over the last 3 seasons. The Falcons are 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) in a home game where the total is between 42.5 and 49 over the last 3 seasons. Wyoming is 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in a road game where the total is between 42.5 and 49 over the last 3 seasons. That's a PERFECT 25-0 ATS Angle in favor of the Falcons in a great spot at home Saturday. Take Air Force and lay the points.

THE PREZ

Illinois @ Indiana
PICK: Over 53.5

Expect Ron Zook and the Illini to make a statement on Saturday, and while the Illinois coaching staff has not announced if Juice Williams or Eddie McGee will start at quarterback this week against Indiana, the obvious answer is Williams. The Illini's only win this season is over FCS member Illinois State, the defense has been a disaster and a move to start McGee over Williams backfired in a HUGE way. All of that changes this week against a good Indiana team, but one that can't match the team speed of Illinois. It is time for Zook to open the playbook and let Williams do his thing, and a matchup against a porous Hoosier defense is just what the good doctor ordered.

It has been extremely painful to watch, what can only be described as stunningly unexplainable, the collapse for Williams, Illinois’ all-time leader in total offense who was benched last weekend after 38 straight starts. Williams’ 324 total yards per game led the Big Ten in total offense a year ago by nearly 80 yards. This season Williams is averaging 126 yards/game through the air and 37.0 yards rushing and has only three touchdowns. The Illini scored 55 against IU a year ago and Virginia was one of the nation’s most anemic offenses statistically last week before it scored 47 on the Hoosiers.

The Illini are 41-16 ATS when they score 28 or more points and the Hoosiers are 2-9 ATS when they allow 28 or more points, this over the last two seasons. Indiana loses by an average margin of 35 points in these scenarios and Illinois wins by nearly 21. In both situations the average final combined score exceeds 68 points.

Neither defense has much to offer in this contest, and the weather in Indiana on Saturday night is expected to be football-perfect. Make a play to the OVER and watch the points mount as quickly as the minutes on the game clock click away.

Play Selected Point Spread: -3.5
We are going to play on CAL to rebound well off of a bye week. They have been embarassed in their last game on HomeComing and outscored 72-6 in their last 2 games. This did not sit well with the players and now they will take out their frustrations on a banged up UCLA squad. Look for a balanced attack from CAL on the ground and thru the air with the extra preparation and motivattion and for them to score the big win.

Trace Adams 1500* - San Diego State - 6pm, 500*s - Ohio State - 12pm, & Georgia - 12:20 pm Yeah, BYU is rolling once again, and they have owned San Diego State of late, winning the last 3 meetings by 20-points or more, BUT....BUT...BUT, have you taken a peek at who comes to Provo next week?

TCU. The very same TCU that dashed the then 6-0 Cougars a season ago and knocked them out of the BCS picture!

I have a very strong feeling that the Cougars are going to take this game a little lighter than they normally would, and the Aztecs are going to stay inside of this rather large impost.

1st year coach Brady Hoke is looking for a "signature" win, and while the outright is a bit of a stretch, this one could get dicey for BYU before they clear the post.

Former New Mexico head coach Rocky Long has taken over the SD State defense, and has done a credible job this year, and he sure knows a thing or two about defending BYU from his Lobo days.

State is off a bye, and do catch the Cougars playing their 2nd straight on the road.

Bottom line: TOO MANY POINTS!

1500? - San Diego State Aztecs - 6:00 pm

This one goes early, but I have to lay the wood on the Big 10 road with the Buckeyes as the Boilermakers continue to turn the ball over as if it were a hot-potato.

Purdue had 3 more turnovers in last week's 35-20 debacle at Minnesota, as they dropped their 5th straight, and 2 straight against the math.

Ohio State is dealing with some injuries, but that hasn't stopped them from covering their last 5 games, as they have allowed just under 10 points per game in their last 4.

The Buckeyes have held the Boilers to single digits in 4 of the last 6 meetings, so don't expect Purdue to get much going offensively. The question is, can OSU get on top of the impost? By covering 10 of 12 on the road, and their last 8 on the Big 10 road, chances are the Buckeyes will indeed take care of business in West Lafayette today.

Lay the road wood.

500? - Ohio State Buckeyes - 12:00 pm

Series numbers show Vandy having covered the last 3 against Georgia, and they also show us the fact that the Bulldogs are on a 1-9 spread slide their last 10 lined games when laying points.

Still, after the 'Dawgs disappointing effort last week at Tennessee, I think this is a "must win" for Georgia today. Not only a "must win", but a win in which the Bulldogs must take out some frustrations.

I think they can do it against a Commodore team that doesn't score much, and is coming off a loss to lowly Army!

It is now or never for Georgia, and I expect the much-maligned defensive coordinator Martinez to be able to hold this attack down, and for Georgia to roll.

Take the Bulldogs.

40 DIMER - IOWA STATE - 7PM.....20 DIMER - ARKANSAS - 3:30 PM.....10 DIMER - MARSHALL - 3:30 PM 40 DIMER - IOWA STATE CYCLONES - 7:00 PM

Without Griffin at QB and Jay Finley banged up at RB, I don't see any way Baylor keeps up with a good offense. Iowa State's offense went TD-for-TD with Kansas on the road last week and actually should have won the game, but a last second TD pass sailed just high. Still, they scored 36 points against the Jayhawks in an easy underdog cover.

Baylor is in "weather the storm mode" until their offensive weapons come back, while Iowa State is essentially in a must win situation at home if they want to go bowling, and this is Iowa State's official conference home opener as well.

Common opponent stats: Baylor played Kansas (at Baylor): 21% conversions on 3rd down. Cyclones played Kansas on the road: 37% conversions on 3rd down.

Kent State had 424 total yards, and converted 26% on 3rd down vs. Baylor.

Kent State had 299 total yards and converted just 8% of 3rd downs at home vs. Iowa State's defense.

Iowa State special teams and O-line are playing well too right now, and the 'Clones are averaging 5.2 yards per carry to boot. Look for this trend to continue, as State rolls to a 2 TD win at home.

Lay the small home chalk here boys!

20 DIMER - ARKNANSAS RAZORBACKS - 3:30 PM

After such an emotional win over LSU last week on the road in a game that Tim Tebow answered the bell, I can easily see the Gators having a difficult time getting back up to cover this rather imposing number at home today against an Arkansas team that can score.

The Hog defense did a credible job against a solid Auburn offense last week in upsetting the Tigers, 44-23 as the 2-point home dog, and we all know the Hogs can put points on the board, as they have been in the 40's in all but one of their games this season.

Not too sure Tebow is all the way back after the hit suffered in the Kentucky game, and you can be sure if the Gators get ahead, Tebow will be watching from the sidelines which makes the back-door that much more attainable.

G-Man feels this number is simply too high. Take the Razorbacks plus the points.

10 DIMER - MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD - 3:30 PM

Once again, I feel this is too many points to give, as I have seen West Virginia under Bill Stewart enough to know that the Mountaineers have a tendency to implode when trying to cover the big chalk.

Marshall is on a 3-game series slide both straight up, and against the spread, but the Herd have been showing some signs of improvement this season, with wins and covers in 3 of their last 4 lined games.

Expect the underdog to be game here, and while the outright loss seems inevitable due to the Mounties superior team speed, West Va does have a pair of huge Big East Conference games upcoming against Connecticut, and South Florida.

I have to believe their will be plenty of "wiggle-room" for the in-state underdog to cash our ticket.

Take the points in this one!

Street Rosenthal

*200 Wyoming +10.5
These two teams are to evenly matched for a 10.5 point spread. Wyoing runs the ball
well, and so does Air Force. However, Wyoming throws the ball a little better.
Here is a fairly complicated system that I have pointing to a Cowboy cover today.
On a Saturday when ANY NCAAF Team played as a -10.0 or more Favorite the last 5
years and with 6 days off and also coming off back to back straight up losses off a
2 game losing streak that team is 0-10. In this case Air Force would be the 0-10
team. Wyoming is 12-1 ATS since 1982 in game 3 or greater and line>10 and opponent
lost their previous game.

*200 Virginia Tech -3
Not many teams are playing better football than Virginia Tech is right now. Take
away that season opening loss to number 2 ranked Alabama and the Hokies are
virtually unblemished. This is going to be a very good game versus to high powered
teams. Lets look at some trends and why I like the Hokies to cover the spread in
this one. Virginia Tech is 11-4 against the spread in their last 15 as a road
favorite and 19-8 against the number in their last 27 road games. On the other side
Ga Tech is 0-8-1 ATS since 1983 in game 7 and when an opponent scored more than 35
points in their previous game. Ga Tech is also 1-9-1 ATS since 1980 in game 7 and
when their opponents previous margin of victory was greater than 7. Ga Tech is
2-12-1 ATS since 1980 in game 7 and when their opponents previous game was at home.
Take the Hokies today for the cover!

*200 California -3
The biggest battle in this game will be UCLA's offensive line versus California's
defensive line. This is a must win game for both teams today. I see a more
seasoned Cal team stepping up to the challenge today. Here are some trends that
favor my selection.
When ANY NCAAF Team played on the Road as a Favorite, and after a division game,
plus playing on Saturday and coming off 2 unders versus an opponent with a 51% to
60% winning percentage that team is 14-0 straight up. When I applied this somewhat
complicated system to California I found them to be 11-3 under this system. UCLA 0-7
ATS since 1992 in game 6 and when previous game they were a dog.


*300 Notre Dame +10

Jimmy Clausen has grown up in a hurry, and as much as I can't stand this quarterback
he has proved himself an asset. More is on the line today than just a Notre Dame;
Jobs, Heisman dreams and a Fighting Irish legacy. Notre Dame is 9-0 ATS in game 6
and line less than -10 and opponents previous ATS margin greater than 2. Notre Dame
is 15-2 ATS since 1984 in game 6 and opponent scored more than 25 points in their
previous game. This will be a hard fought battle, but look for Notre Dame to keep
it close and cover this spread. Take the Irish for the cover.

*300 Oklahoma +3
This will be one of the best on the tube today. Texas coming into this game is 1-4
against the spread. The battle saturday will be won when a quarterback can figure
out how to manipulate one of these defenses. These defenses rank 1-2 in the
conference, with the Longhorns allowing just 23 yards less per game than Oklahoma.
Texas has put the stop on opposing pass attacks, giving up under 187 passing yards
per game. Texas however has yet to see an offense this season like Oklahoma. The
reason I like this play is because the public is on Texas today, and while the line
remains stagnant the juice at some books indicate that they want more money on
Texas. Take Oklahoma today and walk away with a winner!

*500 Wisconsin -2
The Hawkeyes are 6-0 and riding into Wisconsin with high hopes for a perfect season.
So why is this line going against the public? Why is a higher ranked team laying
points? I smell saturdays first upset of the day and that is why I am making the
Badgers my biggest play of the day! Here are some trends that point to a Badger
cover today. When a Wisconsin team played at Home as a Favorite in the last 5 years
they are 27-1 straight up. When a Wisconsin team played at Home as a Favorite in
the last 5 years and it was during Week 4 to 8 they are 10-0 straight up. I really
like the Badgers to pull off the upset today and cover this low spread.

*200 Chicago Blackhawks -175

I am taking the Blackhawks over the Stars on Saturday. I have the Blackhawks as
9-1 SU last 10 games on Saturday and Stars as 2-8 last 10 games on Saturday. Take
the Blackhawks for the win.

*200 Buffalo Sabres Over 6

I am taking the Sabres vs the Thrashers over the total on Saturday. I have the
Sabres as 6-4 Over on Saturday and Home and the Thrashers as 7-2-1 Over their last
10 games on Saturday. I also have the Thrashers and Sabres as 7-2-1 Over their last
10 games they played each other. Take the over for the win.

triple-dime bet 124 Clemson -7.5 (-110) betus vs 123 Wake Forest
Analysis:
PLAY: CLEMSON
RATING: TRIPLE DIME PLAY

It's the 3rd Saturday in October and Wake Forest is playing only it's second road game of the year. Clemson has had 2 weeks to prepare for this game and will be in a angry mood following their loss at Maryland as a 12.5 point favorite. Note that loss came the week after their loss to Top 25 TCU late in 4th Q. Clemson looked right past Maryland but won't be looking past Wake Forest today. At 2-3 on the Season this is an absolute must game for Clemson and we will see their best effort of the year. The fact that Vegas has this line sitting at 7.5 tells me Clemson is the right side as they are begging you to take the Dog. I have Clemson winning 34-17. TAKE CLEMSON as MARCO'S TRIPLE DIME COLLEGE MASSACRE GAME and make them a TRIPLE DIME PLAY.

Throw out last weeks loss from NC ST. and last weeks game game the week following a Overtime loss at Wake Forest. I have said it many times teams don't play well the week after a Overtime loss.

Everyone is looking at the stats from last weeks Wisconsin & Ohio St game and saying Wisconsin outplayed Ohio St which is true. But the fact is they outplayed them and still lost by 18 points??? The public expects Wisconsin to bounce back but the fact is teams don't bounce back from those kind of losses you will generally have a hangover effect. Iowa has won ugly last 2 weeks but brings A - Game today. Iowa wins OUTRIGHT 27-20. TAKE IOWA.

If you have been following my top 25 rankings then you know I love Iowa and have showed them tremendous respect so far. However, today they find themselves in a very difficult spot of traveling to Wisconsin, a team playing on revenge!! The Hawkeyes’ biggest weakness on defense is stopping the run and running the ball is what the Badgers do best!! The Badgers suffered their first loss last week to Ohio State, 31-13, despite holding the Buckeyes to just 184 yards of total offense and out-gaining them by almost 200 yards. It was special teams and a pick-6 that gave OSU the win but don’t expect the Badgers to gift wrap this one again this week!! The Badgers are 22-3 L25 at home and today they get revenge!! It is worth noting the Badgers fall into a strong system that supports a play on certain unranked home teams against ranked opponents.

Lost in Vandy’s poor offense is a great defense that is only giving up 15 point per game!! Georgia proved again last week that they are simply not the elite team everyone expected at the start of the season despite losing many players to the NFL. Vandy lost to Army last week but Army caught the Commodores in a classic conference sandwich spot, off a big game against Ole Miss with Georgia on deck. And now Vandy catches Georgia in the perfect spot – 2nd game of a B2B road swing and still licking their wounds from that ass whoopin’ to Tennessee last week. Look for Vandy’s defense to get the job done again this week and to keep the Commodores in it to the end.

Shoot me now because MTSU has burnt me already this season but I like how this one sets up. MTSU has probably had the toughest schedule in the nation so far starting the season with 4 of 5 games ON THE ROAD – doesn’t even seem fair!! However, they return home for a huge game against an SEC opponent and with a week off to prepare!! Houston went ot Mississippi last week and beat the Dogs. In that game Houston proved just how weak the dog’s pass defense is. MSU defense has only recorded 9 sacks in 6 games, never a good situation when you can’t get to the QB. Additionally, this unit is giving up almost 15 yards per completion, never good when you are facing a pass-minded offense!! MTSU possesses the speed and talent to also expose the dog’s weakness again this week and with a week off to prepare I like their chances even more!! MTSU is tied for 7th nationally in creating turnovers and this bodes well against a mistake prone MSU offense!! MSU is a horrible 1-8 ATS off a home game and with Florida on deck come out flat and get caught looking ahead!!

So how do you follow up a huge road win against a bigger conference?? By falling flat on your faces on the road against a lessor opponent!! Houston went to Mississippi last week and shocked the MSU Bulldogs and now finds themselves on the road again for 3rd and final game of a B2B2B road swing – something that is not easy for kids at this level!! Houston is extremely over-rated despite being 4-1 and nationally ranked. Their defense is terrible and gives up more than 450 yards per game including almost 230 on the ground!! Tulane’s offense has struggled at times despite having experience and talent but the perfect remedy for any struggling unit is a horrible defense and that’s what they get today. Look for Tulane to stay competitive throughout and for Houston to still be feeling “too good” after their win last week. It is worth noting that Houston is just 3-8 ATS in their L11 road games!!

I have played CSU a few times this season and mostly with success. This CSU team is very talented and playing with tremendous pride. Scheduling may very well be this team’s biggest challenge this year. The Rams are coming off a stretch that included BYU, Idaho and Utah B2B2B and now travels to TCU to face a ranked opponent – very tough for any time. However, this team is battle tested and they lost to BYU by 19 despite out-gaining them, lost to Idaho in the games closing moments despite out-gaining them, and last week they took Utah to the wire before losing by 7. CSU has a very good line and is very balanced on offense. Defensively, they are good enough to slow TCU down. And let’s not forget that CSU ranks 15th best in the nation for turnover margin while TCU has been very mistake-prone ranking 93rd in the nation in turnover margin!! And let’s not also forget that TCU has BYU on deck and may get caught looking ahead!! Look for CSU to stay comfortably inside the spread!!

Despite being 1-4 on the season Colorado is 3-1 ATS in lined games. Last week they did a terrific job against Texas, even lead 14-0 at one point, before special teams gave the game away!! Look for Colorado and Coach Hawkins to test a Kansas defense that hasn’t really faced any real threats to-date. The line is suspect given the fact that Kansas is ranked, beat the Buffs last year by 16 as a 14 point fave and with the Buffs as cellar dwellers. Look for Colorado to play inspired ball and to potentially shock this Kansas team, a team I maintain is over-rated!!
PREDICTION: KANSAS 28 COLORADO 26

TOP PLAY: SMU +8
STRONG OPINION: SMU MONEYLINE +245
Navy finds themselves in the unfamiliar role of playing the 2nd of a B2B road trip and kids at this level struggle in unfamiliar roles. SMU is coming off an impressive win over East Carolina and look for momentum to carry over to today!! Navy crushed SMU last year 34-7 as a 12 point fave and now this year is only laying 7/8 – WHY?? This line is suspect and I expect SMU to be ready to get revenge for that loss last year!! Look for SMU to stack the box to slow down the run – if they are successful they will force Navy to the air, something we all know navy is not accustomed to. SMU is one of the best this year at creating turnovers, 19 total including 11 picks. Navy hasn’t seen a QB like Bo Mitchell who is 16th in the nation in total offense, averaging over 280 yards per game!! His ability to throw and run will presents Navy with many matchup problems!!
PREDICTION: SMU 27 NAVY 24

Chris Jordans 3 picks for today
Chris Jordan Saturday's winners ...
200? MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE - The Blue Raiders are stepping out of conference for a quick cup of coffee with SEC-member Mississippi State, and there's something telling me Middle Tennessee State is the value with the point spread sitting this low. This is a team that started the season playing Clemson, Memphis and Maryland, and though this isn't a deadly SEC trio to boast about, it is decent competition for a mid-major team out of the Sun Belt Conference. And with the No. 1 passing offense from their league, and 21st in the entire nation, I'm betting the Raiders will pass all over the 78th-ranked pass defense. Mississippi State has lost three straight game - all at home, to LSU, Georgia Tech and Houston - and could get caught looking ahead to Florida next week. Perhaps that's why this line is so low. Whatever the case, I can't imagine the oddsmakers have the line where it is for any other reason except they're begging you to take the road chalk. So, I'm playing the home pup.

200? CENTRAL MICHIGAN - This is the biggest rivalry for the Chippewas, and since the seniors on this team are 3-0 so far against Western Michigan, I'm thinking CMU continues to play dominating football in MAC play. At 5-1, the Chipps haven't looked back since a season-opening loss at Arizona. That includes a win at Michigan State, and four wins thereafter by an average final of 43-10. Though the Broncos are coming in off a 58-26 whitewash of Toledo, they won't have what it takes to keep up with the spirited Chippewas, who become bowl eligible with a win today. I suspect CMU will use its power rushing game that ranks second in the conference, to blast through WMU's bleak defense that ranks 102nd against the run. And oh yes, then there's the situation revolving quarterback Dan LeFevour, who is supposed to be the next big thing out of the MAC. WMU has a tough signal caller in Tim Hiller, but CMU is just too good this season. Lay the chalk.

200? OHIO U. - Perfect spot for Ohio to do some serious damage. Mistake-prone Miami-Ohio contiues to shoot itself in the foot with silly mistakes, and now it must take on a rival team that has been getting it done behind a knack for prying the ball away from opponents. Coming into this game, the 4-2 Bobcats, who are 2-0 in MAC play, were tied for second in the nation with 19 forced turnovers, tied for third with 10 fumbles recovered and tied for eighth with 10 interceptions. Ohio also ranked 13th with a 1.17 average turnover margin per game. On the flipside, the 0-7 RedHawks have lost eight fumbles and a MAC-worst 14 interceptions. Miami-O has been shut out twice, its scoring offense ranks dead last in the nation (120th with 10.6 points per game), and its defense is horrendous in every facet of the game. This marks the Red Hawks' fifth road game in six games - since Sept. 12. This one is going to get ugly boys, as the Bobcats roll.

25,000 Dime Off Line Mismatch

Virginia Tech Hokies -3.5 over GEORGIA TECH

I just don't see how Georgia Tech is going to stay in this game. When they went to Miami they got drilled as a 4 point underdog. The game was never even close as Miami just blew them off the field. The team they are playing today, made a mockery out of Miami and now the line is 3.5. Please now, that's a big mistake as this should have been -7 minimum.

All Georgia Tech has is the option and yeah, to their credit they run it well but Virginia Tech has the players to stop it. Last year, despite losing, the Hokies only allowed 20 points to the Yellow Jackets. The problem was, they only scored 17 but their offense this year is much better then their offense was last year.

They are scoring points in bunches and they have played a very tough schedule with the likes of Alabama, Miami, Nebraska and Boston College so far. The best team Georgia Tech has faced was Miami and like I said, they got plastered.

On defense, Georgia Tech doesn't have the speed or skill to hang with Va. Tech's offensive talent. They just don't and Taylor looks very comfortable in the pocket. Overall, I can see the Hokies scoring around 34-41 points today and I don't feel Georgia Tech will get above 20. If the Hokies play their game, this shouldn't be close.

Saturday's plays 20 Dime -- IDAHO (minus points vs. Hawaii)
10 Dime -- Wyoming (plus points vs. AIR FORCE)

IDAHO

Hawaii is clearly not the same team since QB Greg Alexander went down. Not that the Warriors were anything special with him.

With Alexander in the lineup, Hawaii was averaging over 30 points per game, but in the more than five quarters since he went down, the Warriors have scored just 17 points, and were hammered at home last week in a 42-17 loss to Fresno State.

Hawaii is allowing 28.6 points per game, and is awful on the road, having already lost at UNLV and Louisiana Tech, although it did beat lowly Washington State.

Idaho is 5-1 straight up and has covered the spread in all six games.

The Vandals are averaging nearly 29 points per game, and junior QB Nathan Enderle is completing nearly 63 percent of his passes for 1,509 yards and eight touchdowns. And Idaho averages 155.3 yards on the ground, while the Warriors allow more than 200 yards rushing per game.

Idaho has lost five straight games to Hawaii, going 0-5 ATS, but this is a great opportunity for the Vandals to begin to turn that around, especially with Alexander on the sideline for the Warriors. Take Idaho to win big today.

WYOMING

Since inserting freshman quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels into the lineup, the Cowboys are a totally different team.

Wyoming is 3-0 with Carta-Samuels as its starter, has covered in each game and is averaging more than 32 points per game. He has completed nearly 60 percent of his passes for 983 yards and six touchdowns with just one interception.

Carta-Samuels has the Cowboys thinking about a bowl bid, at 4-2, but they will face a tough test today against Air Force, which is coming off a tough 20-17 home loss to No. 10 TCU.

With a game at No. 24 Utah next week, the Falcons could take Wyoming lightly today, being sandwiched between two nationally ranked teams.

Air Force QB Tim Jefferson, last year's Mountain West Freshman of the Year, has a sprained right ankle and didn't play in two of the Falcons' last three games, including last week.

Sophomore Connor Dietz has not turned the ball over in limited play, but he was just 6 of 17 for 42 yards against TCU. He did rush for 71 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, but I don't expect the Falcons' offense to pile up big points with him running the offense.

Air Force is allowing just 13.8 points per game, which is tops in the Mountain West, but I think the Cowboys should be able to score enough to keep this game close. Take Wyoming to cover the points.

Paid for by me.

triple-dime bet 179 Illinois -3.0 (-110) betus vs 180 Indiana
Analysis: Stan is Betting ILLINOIS. Stan notes that ILLINOIS is way under valued here due to recent results. Illinois is the much better team here and finally gets to play a team that they can dominate. Illinois has played a murderous schedule so the betting public has no idea what there true value is. Indiana has played 3 big games in a row and lost all 3. They played Ohio St , Michigan and last week got blown ou‡t by Virginia. Stan has Illinois winning by 10-13 points. TAKE ILLINOIS as STAN'S TRIPLE DIME CONFERENCE MISMATCH and make them a TRIPLE DIME PLAY.

Saturday's Pick 10 Dime - Auburn

Auburn looks to rebound after a pathetic performance in a 44-23 loss at Arkansas last Saturday that dropped the Tigers from the ranks of the unbeaten. Their defense, not the greatest to begin with, was shredded for 495 yards by the Razorbacks in a game that was even more one-sided than the final score indicated. But the SEC schedule-makers have given Auburn a favorable opponent to rebound against as injury-riddled Kentucky comes to town.

The Wildcats are coming off a heart-breaking -- and costly -- loss to South Carolina, 28-26, a game in which starting quarterback Mike Hartline suffered a knee injury. That means either untested junior Will Fidler, who completed 2-of-8 passes against the Gamecocks for 16 yards (5-for-13 on the season), or true freshman Morgan Newton, whom Kentucky planned to redshirt, will get the starting nod against Auburn.

Auburn's defense leaves much to be desired, but Kentucky does not have the talent to exploit those flaws. The same cannot be said about the Wildcat D, a unit that is the SEC's worst against the run, allowing 178 yards per game, including 362 to Florida and 204 to Alabama. The 'Cats will be hard-pressed to stop the Tiger backfield duo of Ben Tate (724 yards, 6.1 ypc) and Onterio McCalebb (439 yards, 6.0 ypc).

The Tigers can also attack through the air as QB Chris Todd is averaging 227 yards per game with 12 TDs thanks to excellent protection that's resulted in him being sacked just five times on the season. Todd will face a banged-up Kentucky secondary missing All-America cornerback Trevard Lindley.

Although this is the first meeting between these two since 2005, this has been a one-sided series dominated by Auburn as the Tigers have won the last 15 match-ups straight-up, a streak that dates back to 1966. The Tigers have also covered five of the last six clashes.

Auburn is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS at home this season with the only pointspread setback coming in a 54-30 rout of Ball State when the Tigers were laying 30' points in non-conference tilt played one week after a big second-half rally secured a 41-30 win and cover as a 7-point home chalk against West Virginia.

Pick: 5 unit(s) PUCKLINE: New York Islanders 1.5 (-180) (Play of the Day)

It is pretty clear San Jose is still struggling on the road as they enter here at just 1-3 and have now dropped five of their last six going back to last year. That puts a lot of pressure on the puckline, especially since they have not walked off the ice here in the last two meetings with a win. Three of the five Islanders’ games required extended play. With the Sharks not beating anyone on the road, the puckline looks good here for the Islanders and that's my call

Georgia Tech is ranked and has a 5-1 record just like the Hokies entering this match-up. Also, thanks to a potent triple-option offense under head coach Paul Johnson, there is some talk about the Yellow Jackets offense being “unstoppable”. To a man we will tell you that if there is one defense capable of slowing down this offensive attack it is Virginia Tech’s tough defense. We will also tell you that the Yellow Jackets as a team are certainly anything but “unstoppable”. As impressive as their offense has been, Georgia Tech’s defense has been extremely disappointing and will end up being their downfall this season. Even though the Yellow Jackets are 3-1 in ACC action this season their three wins have come against teams that are a combined 1-7 in conference action this year. Also, they blew a 24-0 lead against Clemson in that game and barely hung on for the non-covering win against the Tigers. In their games against Miami and North Carolina they averaged just 20.5 points per game. Then, even though they won their next two games they gave up a total of 75 points. Allowing Florida State to gain 539 yards against you is not good news. The Seminoles are having an awful season and had been held to 21 points or less in three of their four prior games. The only game the Noles had previously “broken out” during the four game slide was a big performance at Brigham Young fueled by Cougars mistakes. The key point here: we’re just not “sold” on the overall strength of this Yellow Jackets team. They can’t get opposing offenses off the field so they have to rely on their offense to win games and that’s just not likely to happen against a powerful Virginia Tech defense.

The Hokies know how to at least “slow down” the Yellow Jackets option. With all the talent they tend to have on hand defensively each season they have allowed between 11 and 16.7 points per game each of the last five seasons. They’ve beat Georgia Tech in four of those five seasons and coach Johnson was here with his potent option attack last season. The Hokies forced turnovers and got the key stops when needed and they can certainly do the same this time around. What should make this one more comfortable than last season’s three point win for the Hokies is that their offense has been very impressive. RB Ryan Williams is leading the ACC in rushing. QB Tyrod Taylor is very dangerous with his scrambling ability as that also buys time for receivers to get open. The Hokies have scored at least 31 points in four of the last five weeks and keep in mind they are very battle-tested on the season as they’ve had to battle Alabama, Nebraska, and Miami already this season. They waxed Miami by a 24 point margin and that’s the same Canes team that hammered the Yellow Jackets by a 16 point margin. With the speed, talent, and experience of the Hokies defense, they can get their stops against this Jackets offense. The reverse is not true. The Yellow Jackets secondary has been exposed all season long. Also, teams have been able to run in between the tackles against the Jackets and we look for Williams and Company to have some big success doing just that in this game. The Yellow Jackets are susceptible to turnovers. That is typical of most option attacks. The key here is that the Hokies are a ball-hawking defense that feasts on opponents mistakes. They also have exceptional special teams units and of course “Beamer Ball” is predicated on opportunistic defense and fantastic special teams play.

The Hokies have large edges in special teams, defense and their overall coaching staff with head coach Frank Beamer, offensive coordinator Bryan Stinespring, and defensive coordinator Bud Foster having all been here for many years. The Hokies have their bye week on deck and the Yellow Jackets are breathing down their neck in the ACC Coastal Division standings. In other words, there is no way the Hokies come out flat or unfocused here. That spells trouble for the Jackets as they get one of the top teams in the country coming in fully focused and looking to make a statement on the road. The Hokies came into this season covering 11 of their last 14 games as a road favorite. We’ll gladly lay the short number here with the superior team against a Yellow Jackets team that is over-rated in our opinion. It’s hard to truly be considered a ‘top 25 team’ with the type of defense that the Jackets have been playing. They will be exposed here. Play Virginia Tech minus the short number as a 10* Top Play selection on Saturday.
