Don’t look for a lot of defense in this one, as these two Big XII South rivals are still working to add athletes to their stop units so they can compete with the likes of Texas & Oklahoma. Offense these two teams have, however, and plenty of it. But pointspread is cheap enough to take a chance on the explosive home team, which boasts weapons such as RB Kendall Hunter (158 ypg rushing), QB Brandon Weeden (11 TDs, 2 ints.), and WR Justin Blackmon (24 recs., 8 TDs). Yes, the stats for their Aggie counterparts are nearly as gaudy. However, the A&M defense “traveled” so poorly LY (47 ppg) that we can’t count on that unit to hold the fort very often vs. new, creative Cowboy offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. Insiders say the Aggies still have some concerns about the shoulder of QB Jerrod Johnson, who had surgery in the offseason. A&M has had nine turnovers its last two games vs. La Tech and Florida International. Such sloppiness will be fatal on this field.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

Toronto at Minnesota (-155, 8)

The Minnesota Twins continue to prep their lineup for the postseason as they host the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. The club sent Jim Thome (back) and J.J. Hardy (knee) back to Minnesota earlier this week so that they could do their rehab work at Target Field, while Joe Mauer is plotting his return any day now.
Mauer has been out since jamming his knee on Sept. 19 and could return in a limited basis as the team’s DH before he sets up behind the plate again. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire expects Thome, Hardy, and Mauer all to get back in the lineup before the team’s final series of the regular season. Until then, they’ll play the backups and hope their big three gets healthy in a hurry.

Pick: Jays


Chicago Cubs at San Diego (-155, 7.5)

The record doesn’t lie: Chicago has been a much better team since Mike Quade took over as interim manager from Lou Piniella last month, going 21-11. Quade has done a great job with a team that went into full-out sell mode at the trade deadline and has also had to deal with a couple serious injuries down the stretch to Tyler Colvin and Geovany Soto.

“He's done a great job and I hope that he's here longer than just this year," Ryan Dempster told the Chicago Tribune. "I hope he's managing for us next year because he deserves it. He's done everything they've asked, and everyone in here really likes him."

Pick: Over

Texas A&M Aggies vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Preview

On the ESPN Thursday night game in a battle of a couple of undefeated Big 12 teams the Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-0) host the Texas A&M Aggies (3-0). College football lines have Oklahoma State as 3-point favorites in this game and there is no total at time of writing.

This game is the first one for each team in conference play and each should be ready since neither team played last week.

Man, this game may be a shootout, as Oklahoma State ranks 2nd in the nation in passing yards per game and the Aggies rank 15th. However, while both teams have a great offense the defense is a different issue, as Texas A&M ranks 10th in the nation while OSU only ranks 78th.

The Aggies have not beaten the Cowboys since the 2007 season.

In these teams’ last games Oklahoma State looked awesome on offense laying a 65-28 beat down on Tulsa while Texas A&M may have been a bit lucky in beating Florida International 27-20. The reason they may have had some luck on their side is that they won the game against FIU, but they committed 5 turnovers. If they play sloppy like that against the Cowboys the Aggies will not be leaving Stillwater with a win.

Heading into this game both teams are 2-1 ATS.

Texas A&M will have to deal with an Oklahoma State offense that had an amazing 722 yards including 574 passing yards in their win over Tulsa.

Oklahoma St. and their offense is led by QB Brandon Weeden, who was 23/32 for 409 yards with 6 TD and 0 INT in the win over Tulsa a couple weeks back. WR’s Justin Blackmon and Josh Cooper are his main targets and each of them averaged at least 20 yards per catch in the Tulsa game. Texas A+M vs. Oklahoma St. Week 5 Preview & Pick

Texas A&M does have a great D, but they are actually better defending the run than the pass, which is not good for them in this game. Their pass defense ranks 50th in the nation, but they played well in their win over Florida International only allowing them to gain 117 yards in the air.

OSU is not all about the pass, as they also have a solid rushing offense, which ranks 31st in the nation. RB Kendall Hunter is their main guy in the backfield and he is a duel threat back and in the game against Tulsa he rushed for 59 yards and also caught 3 passes for 59 yards.

Hunter and the OSU rushing attack will not have an easy time picking up yards on the ground since the Aggies have the nation’s 4th ranked run defense.

The Texas A&M offense is led by QB Jerrod Johnson and if he plays like he did against Florida International the Aggies have no chance to win. In that win he was picked off 4 times only going 11/31 even though he did have 194 passing yards with a TD.

Johnson is a solid QB, but had an off game and he will be pitted up against an Oklahoma St. pass defense that only ranks 82nd in the nation and allowed Tulsa to pick up 229 yards in the air.

Much like OSU Texas A&M is not one-dimensional on offense, as they rank 30th in the nation in rushing yards per game. RB Christine Michael is the featured back and, unlike Johnson, he had a good game against Florida International with 119 yards and a TD. If he can have a big game it will really help the Aggies, as it will help keep the dynamic offense of Oklahoma St. off the field.

OSU’s strength on defense, albeit not a major one, is defending the run since they rank 55th in the nation in rushing defense and in the Tulsa game they gave up 199 yards on the ground.

The Aggies have the defense, but even though the Cowboys do not have a great defense they simply have too many weapons on offense to be stopped, especially at home. The Cowboys will come out firing and win this game and cover the spread going to 1-0 in the Big 12.

Texas A&M is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss, 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog, and has an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog.
Oklahoma State is 3-8-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and has an Over record of 4-0 in their last 4 games as a home favorite.

In the last 6 games between these 2 teams the total has gone Over 5 times.

Thursday's winner...
300-Unit College Primetime Punisher - OKLAHOMA STATE

Oklahoma State’s high-powered offense will be able to find the end zone enough tonight to beat Texas A&M in the Big 12 opener for both teams. They’ve got too many weapons for the Aggies to handle and they’ll win this one by two TDs.

The Cowboys lead the nation with 596 yards of offense per game and they have to top receiver in the country in Justin Blackmon (144 yards receiving per game) and the third-rated passer in Brandon Weeden (325 yards per game) and third-rated rusher in Kendall Hunter (158 yards per game). Oklahoma State has scored 65 points twice already this season and they got a 41-38 win over Troy between the two blowouts.

Texas A&M’s Jerrod Johnson was selected the conference’s preseason offensive player of the year, but he has run into some trouble early in the season with four interceptions already. The Aggies scored easy wins in their first two games, but on Sept. 18, they were in a dog fight against Florida International, trailing 20-6 in the fourth quarter before rattling off 21 straight points.

Texas A&M comes into this one on some negative ATS trends, including 17-36-1 on the road, 9-24-1 as a road ‘dog, 2-6-1 as an underdog overall, 1-5 against teams with winning home records and 1-6 on Thursday night games.

Oklahoma State is on some solid ATS runs, including 11-4 as a home favorite and 34-15-2 as a favorite overall. The Cowboys have won the last two meetings in this series, taking a 36-31 win at Texas A&M last season as five-point road favorites. The year before, Oklahoma State welcomed the Aggies into Stillwater, Okla. and drubbed them 56-28, cashing as 26-point home chalk.

I’m going with the more consistent offense and Oklahoma State here tonight. Weeden is playing outstanding football and has tossed 11 TDs and just two INTs. If he stays within himself tonight, this one is an easy win for the Cowboys. Play Oklahoma State.

Thursday 5* MLB 90% Blowout system wins by 4 runs per game and has 32-4 Power Angle. NCAAF Power system with 3 big angles leads solid card.


On Thursday the MLB play is on the Seattle Mariners. Game 974 at 10:10 eastern. Seattle looks like a live dog with a nice pitching edge here tonight. Seattle has won 18 of 25 here at home vs Oakland. When the total is 7 or less in their home games they are 20-13. Not bad for a team well under .500 on the year. Oakland is a dismal 1-10 on the road when the total is 7 or less in their road games. Oakland looks like their ready for the season to end. They have lost 6 straight. In the Pitching match up they have G.Gonzlaez on the mound and he has a 5.79 era over his past 3 starts. Seattle counters with Fister here tonight. Fister has a solid 3.28 home era and has dominated Oakland with 3 wins this season. He has allowed just 3 runs in 19 innings of work against them this season. Look for Seattle to take Game 1 of this series tonight. Those looking for something to pound, consider the 5* MLB Diamond Cutter system that has cashed 90% of the time, has a 32-4 Power angle and wins by 4 runs per game. I also have a solid system side in the NCAAF Game tonight that also has 3 big Power Angles. . For the MLB play take the Seattle Mariners tonight. GC

THE GOLD SHEET
OKLAHOMA STATE 38 - Texas A&M 30—Both own terrific offenses and
shaky defenses, each facing weak opposition so far. Extra time off should
benefit sore thumb of OSU QB Brandon Weeden (9 TDs, 2 ints.) and nagging
ankle of A&M pass rusher Von Miller (no sacks yet). Aggies were ripped for 47
ppg on the road LY, and Cowboys (57 ppg TY) eager to renew the ripping. But
A&M sr. QB Jerrod Johnson, WR Jeff Fuller & mates might keep this one
interesting if oddsmakers/public stretch spread on this Thursday nighter too far.

Inside the Board Room:
It'll be Jeremy Guthrie toeing the rubber for the Orioles in this contest. Righthander Guthrie is 10-14 with a 3.98 ERA so far this season. The Tigers were defeated 4-3 by the Indians last time out, as -155 favorites. That game's seven runs went UNDER the posted over/under (8) set by sportsbooks. Justin Verlander took the loss after giving up seven hits and four runs over seven innings for the Tigers. Kevin Millwood tossed three-hit ball over seven innings as the Orioles beat the Rays 2-0 on Wednesday. The Orioles won the series finale as +185 underdogs, while the teams played UNDER the posted over/under (9) set by sportsbooks. Felix Pie drove in both runs to lead the way, and Koji Uehara closed out the game for his 11th save.

TX A&M (+3) for 1.5 Units

A&M is looking to avenge last year's 36-31 home loss and should give the Cowboys a run for the money. A&M has not been a good road team in recent years; however, with new DC Tim DeRuyter taking over an experienced unit, A&M is fit to hold their own as a traveler. DeRuyter did a great job as the DC with Air Force and he has better athletes to work with here. The Aggies defense already showed signs of toughness September 18th -- shutting down Fla Int'l after QB Jerrod Johnson threw 4 straight interceptions. The Aggies, after trailing 20-6 in the 4th quarter, went on to score 21 unanswered points for the win. We'll look for that to be the Aggies' wake-up call as they should be focused here for their 1st Big Twelve showdown. The Cowboys are young in a lot of areas, including defensively, and although they're young and aggressive, they make quite a few mistakes; consequently, we'll look for Johnson and company to get back on track offensively. OK State is 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 as a small home favorite and we'll sit on the Aggies here.

San Diego needs to take advantage of their final few games if they hope to grab the last wildcard spot. With the better pitcher on the mound and the Braves off tonight, expect the Padres to play loose and not to be scoreboard watching.

THURSDAY'S ACTION

20 DIME college football selection on Texas A&M-Oklahoma State OVER THE TOTAL. The total in this Big 12 battle is ranging from 66½ to 67 depeading on where you shop. Expect the OVER to take the bulk of the action as the day progriesses, so the earlier you get down on this game the better.





5 DIME baseball selection on the CHICAGO CUBS over the Padres in the finale of a four-game series from San Diego. Chicago is a solid +145 underdog here. No need to list starting pitlhers, as this is an “action play.”











Texas A&M-Oklahoma State OVER THE TOTAL (20 Dime)








“Under” players have made a fortune on these Thursday night marquee TV games this season, with the last four featuring final scores of 31-3, 30-19, 17-14 and 13-10. But all four of those games involved teams whose defenses are ahead of their offenses.








That’s certainly not the case here. Oklahoma State is putting up 57 points and 596 yards per game, while Texas A&M is racking up 41 points and 501.3 yards per game. And both squads are literally running all over their opponents to the tune of 204 rushing yards per contest. Admitaedly, neither the Cowboys nor Aggies have faced quality competition so far – the victim list includes Troy, Tulsa, Washington State, Stephen F. Austin, Louisiana Tech and Florida International.








However, that doesn’t detract from the fact that Oklahoma State and Texas A&M are loaded with skill players on offense. At the same time, both squads are lacking top-tier athletes on the defensive side of the ball – in fact, Oklahoma State gave up 38 points to Troy and 28 points to Tulsa. Meanwhile, A&M’s points-allowed have gone up each week (from 7 to 16 to 20), and now that the defense is finally going to get tested by a compietent, explosive offense, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Aggies surrendered more points tonight than they did in their first three games combined.








After all, Texas A&M’s first three games this year were in College Station. Now they finally have to hit the road, which is notable because last year the Aggies got torched for an average of 47 ppg on foreign turf.








These teams have gone over the total in five of the last six years – and we’re talking about posted totals ranging from a low of 53 to a high of 64. In the last two years alone, Oklahoma State has posted wins of 56-28 and 36-31, with both getting up and over the number (the teams combined for 1,633 yards in those two matchups).








Additionally, check out these “over” trends: For A&M, the “over” is on runs of 26-10-1 on the road, 20-6-1 as a road underdog, 4-1 in September, 6-1 in these marquee Thursday games and 14-4-1 in Big 12 contests. For the Cowboys, the “over” is on streaks of 38-15 at home, 4-0 in September, 4-0 as a favorite (all at home) and 5-0 when coming out of a bye.








Finally, not only have these teams topped the total in five of their last six meetings overall, but the last four in a row in Stillwater have hurdled the price, including scores of 34-33 and 56-28 in the last two.








CUBS (5 Dime)








No team in baseball has been hotter over the past five weeks than the Cubs, who are 21-12 in their last 33 games since manager Lou Pineilla walked off the job, winning 10 of the last 15 overall and 16 of 22 on the highway (they had an eight-game road winning streak snapped in last night’s 3-0 loss).








At the same time, no team has cooled off more over the past five weeks than the Padres, who have dropped 21 of 33 overall and 13 of 20 at home. Take away five wins in six games (including a three-game home sweep) against the pathetic Dodgers (who quit on the season long ago), and San Diego is 7-20 in its last 27 games, including 4-13 at home.








I do give the Padres the edge on the mound today, with Jon Garland (14-12, 3.58 ERA) facing struggling Cubs lefty Tom Gorzelanny (7-9, 4.28 ERA, including 0-2, 10.64 ERA in his last three starts). However, San Diego is just 2-4 in Garland’s last six starts, including 1-3 at home, and the right-hander has 5.00 ERA during this six-game stretch. Also, Gorzelanny has been better on the road this year (3-3, 3.92 ERA) than at Wrigley Field (4-6, 4.56) and he’s been much better in day games (5-3, 3.63 ERA) than night games (2-6, 5.02 ERA).








Two more points to make: 1) The road team has won six of seven meetings between these teams and seven of eight going back to last August (the home team had won the previous nine in a row); and 2) It’s imporlant to mention the guy working the plate tonight – veteran ump Sam Holbrook. Why do I bring up Holbrook? Because the Padres have lost 11 of their last 12 games in which Holbrook was calling balls and strikes – 1-11 is more than just a fluke!
