Thursday Night Football betting: Saints at Falcons

New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons (+10, 53)

The New Orleans Saints are riding high after another comeback victory, and they hope to continue that momentum as they travel to Atlanta to face the struggling Falcons on Thursday. The Saints booted three fourth-quarter field goals to edge San Francisco 23-20 on Sunday and maintain their NFC South lead. They might not need a late rally against the Falcons - the Saints have won five of the last six meetings and 12 of the last 15, including a 23-17 home victory in Week 1.

The Falcons have lost four straight for the first time since 2007 - also the last time they finished with a losing record - but coach Mike Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff received a vote of confidence from owner Arthur Blank after Sunday's 41-28 loss to Tampa Bay. "It's a tough business. We've had a lot of injuries, and issues on top of the injuries," Blank told reporters. "These guys are proven leaders and proven by success. … They'll do the work that has to be done with my full support." A win over the Saints would go a long way in backing up that faith, but that's a long shot against a New Orleans team that ranks in the top five in the NFL in total yards and scoring on both sides of the ball.

TV: 8:25 p.m. ET, NFL Network.

LINE: The line opened with the Falcons as +7 home dogs and have been bet to +10. The total has been steady at 53.

WEATHER: N/A

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: New Orleans (-6.0) + Atlanta (+5.5) + home field (-3.0) = New Orleans -8.5

ABOUT THE SAINTS (8-2, 6-4 ATS): New Orleans might be the most complete team in the league with Drew Brees directing the potent pass-heavy attack and
defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's revamped unit continuing to play well. Injuries are mounting on the defensive side, though, with cornerback Jabari Greer suffering a gruesome knee injury Sunday and rookie safety Kenny Vaccaro still questionable after missing the past two games. The Saints are far more susceptible on the road, where they've lost to New England and the New York Jets and survived close contests at Tampa Bay and Chicago.

ABOUT THE FALCONS (2-8, 2-8 ATS): Atlanta's defense was shredded by a rookie quarterback and a running back making his first NFL start versus Tampa Bay, so the Falcons might be in big trouble against Brees and the Saints' high-powered attack. The offense has been far too one-dimensional, ranking 31st at 73.1 rushing yards per game, which doesn't bode well against the Saints' third-ranked pass defense. Atlanta's defense is getting closer to full strength with linebacker Sean Weatherspoon back, but the unit continues to struggle and has allowed more than 400 total yards in two straight games.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Atlanta.
* Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Saints are 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings.
* Falcons are 0-4 ATS in their last four overall.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Brees (49,288) needs 38 passing yards to move past Warren Moon for fifth in NFL history. John Elway is fourth at 51,475.

2. Atlanta QB Matt Ryan's 14 interceptions match his career high set in 2009 and tied last season, and his 89.2 rating is his lowest since an 80.9 mark in 2009.

3. The Falcons are the only team since 2009 to hold Brees without a touchdown pass, as he threw five interceptions without a TD in a 23-13 loss at Atlanta last season.

Tale of the Tape: New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons

The New Orleans Saints look to add to the misery of a division rival as they face the host Atlanta Falcons in the Week 12 Thursday nighter.

New Orleans has reeled off back-to-back victories to remain one game ahead of the hard-charging Carolina Panthers in the NFC South. The Falcons are immersed in their own position battle - specifically, looking to stay out of the division basement as they bring a six-game losing streak into this one.

Read the breakdown in our betting tale of the tape:

Offense

The Saints continue rolling along on the offensive side of the football, sitting third in total yards (4,191) on the strength of a passing game that ranks behind only the Denver Broncos in terms of efficiency. Quarterback Drew Brees is on pace for his fourth career 5,000-yard passing campaign, with 26 touchdown throws against just eight interceptions. The rushing game hasn't been nearly as effective, ranked 23rd in the NFL at 97.2 yards per game with just seven TDs.

Atlanta was built to compete offensively with a team like the Saints, but injuries have limited its ability to do that in 2013. Quarterback Matt Ryan has had to do without top receivers Julio Jones (foot, out for season) and Roddy White (hamstring) for major chunks of the season, resulting in the Atlanta passing offense ranking eighth in total yards after going into the year as a consensus top-3 unit. The running game is dreadful, recording the second-fewest yards in the NFL.

Edge: New Orleans

Defense

New Orleans hasn't traditionally been equated with shut-down defense, but times have changed. New Orleans comes into Thursday's game having allowed the second-fewest passing yards in football (1,914) - behind only the Houston Texans - and its 11 passing touchdowns against is tied for the fourth-fewest in the league. New Orleans is allowing 4.9 yards per carry, but has faced just 234 attempts - third-fewest in the NFL - as teams try to keep up with its pass offense.

The Falcons' punchless offense isn't doing its defensive unit any favors. Atlanta ranks 21st in passing yards against (2,492) with 21 touchdowns against - third-most in football - and just six interceptions. Teams have also run at will against the Falcons, racking up the third most opponent yards in the league (1,327) while scoring eight touchdowns; the Falcons are the only team in football ranked 30th or lower in both offensive and defensive rushing yardage per game.

Edge: New Orleans

Special Teams

The Saints have fared well on kick returns so far in 2013, averaging the ninth-best rate in the league (24.5 yards); things haven't been as good on punt returns, where they're just 30th (6.4). New Orleans is allowing the sixth-highest kick-return average (25.2) but has limited opponents to 6.7 yards per punt-return attempt. Kicker Garrett Hartley had made just two of his previous six field-goal attempts entering Week 11, but went 3-for-3 in the win over San Francisco.

Atlanta's kick-return game has been solid, as it's averaging 24.3 yards per attempt - one spot behind New Orleans in the rankings. It sits 24th in punt-return average (7.3). Opponents have had virtually identical numbers against the Falcons, averaging 24.1 yards per kick-return attempt and 7.6 yards per punt-return try. Kicker Matt Bryant has been as good as they come this season, connecting on 13-of-14 field goal attempts - including two in last week's loss to Tampa Bay.

Edge: Atlanta

Notable Quotable

"We're equal-opportunity. Whoever's getting open, whoever's got the matchup, whoever's got the hot hand. We kind of feel that and see that as the game is going on. Guys kind of know that if it's not this week or next week, it might be the following week." - Brees

"There's times when it's going to be humbling. You learn from everything, the good the bad - and sometimes more from the bad than the good. I think everybody's trying to learn from it, apply it to themselves, find ways to get better, find ways to use it as motivation and just keep going forward." - Ryan

Thursday's NCAAF action: What bettors need to know

Rutgers Scarlet Knights at Central Florida Knights (-17.5, 57.5)

Central Florida looks to follow up a remarkable road victory and stay unbeaten in the American Athletic Conference when it hosts Rutgers on Thursday. The No. 20 Knights' remarkable run through the league slate continued Saturday with perhaps the game of the weekend in college football as standout quarterback Blake Bortles led his team to 10 points in the final 1:06 to steal a 39-36 victory at Temple. Late drama is nothing new to Central Florida, which has won five games by seven points or less, four during its five-game winning streak.

While the Knights may eventually eye a conference crown and an automatic BCS berth, the Scarlet Knights still have plenty to play for as well. They remain one win shy of bowl eligibility for the eighth time in nine years. Rutgers also had a three-point win against Temple before it suffered a 52-17 loss to Cincinnati on Saturday, its third setback in four games.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.
LINE: Central Florida opened as low as 16.5 and jumped to 17.5. The total is set at 57.5 points.
WEATHER: Temperatures in mid 70s with a 27 percent chance of rain early on. Winds blowing NNE at 6 mph.

ABOUT RUTGERS (5-4, 2-3 AAC): Although it has a shot at gaining that bowl eligibility, a once-promising season has taken a bad turn for the Scarlet Knights, whose 1-3 slide has coincided with an allegation by a former player of bullying by a coach and an embarrassing home loss to the Bearcats. Gary Nova's touchdown pass late in the first quarter Rutgers cut Cincinnati's lead to 10-7, but the Bearcats responded with six straight touchdowns. Nova threw two interceptions and has nine picks against five touchdowns in the last four games.

ABOUT CENTRAL FLORIDA (8-1, 5-0): Many who had not heard of Bortles prior to the Temple game are now well aware of his exploits. In the comeback win over the Owls, the junior threw for a career-high 404 yards, leading Central Florida to 657 total yards, the most the program has amassed in a game since it joined the FBS ranks in 1996. Bortles ranks seventh in FBS in passer efficiency (168.6).

TRENDS:

* Scarlet Knights are 4-1 ATS in their last five Thursday games.
* Knights are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.
* Under is 11-5 in Scarlet Knights last 16 road games.

Rice Owls at Alabama-Birmingham Blazers (+19, 63.5)

Rice looks to keep its chances at the Conference USA West Division title alive Thursday night as it visits Alabama-Birmingham. The Owls fell to division co-leader North Texas two weeks ago but bounced back in its previous game, rolling past Louisiana Tech 52-14 on the strength of Charles Ross' conference record-tying five rushing touchdowns. The Blazers have dropped four straight games and have surrendered a whopping 119 points in their last two defeats.

The Owls have built much of their success on a potent running game - and after struggling to gain much real estate in the loss to the Mean Green, they atoned with a sensational performance against the Bulldogs. Ross racked up 215 of Rice's 415 rushing yards, and the Owls finished with six scores on the ground to improve to 5-1 in conference play. UAB has been feasted on all season, allowing more than 42 points per game.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1
LINE: UAB is installed as a 19-point dog after being as low as +20. The over/under is set at 63 1/2.
WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the mid-50s under partly cloudy skies. Wind will blow northwest across the width of the field at 6 mph.

ABOUT RICE (7-3, 5-1 Conference USA): Ross has been the centerpiece of one of the best rushing attacks in the country, surpassing the 1,000-yard plateau for the season last time out while leading the conference with 11 rushing scores. Quarterback Taylor McHargue has had an up-and-down season to date, throwing for 1,751 yards with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He has also run for 359 yards, but had just one in the victory over Louisiana Tech.

ABOUT UAB (2-8, 1-5): Austin Brown and Jonathan Perry have formed a competent quarterback tandem for the Blazers, combining to throw for nearly 2,100 yards with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Perry threw for a season-best 210 yards in last week's loss to East Carolina but was picked off twice - one of which was returned by Kyle Tudor for a 50-yard touchdown. Darrin Reaves (827 yards, nine TDs) and Jordan Howard (826 yards, two TDs) pace the run attack.

TRENDS:

* Owls are 5-0 ATS in their last five games vs. teams with losing records.
* Blazers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight conference games.
* Over is 7-0 in UAB's last seven games vs. teams with winning records.

UNLV Rebels at Air Force Falcons (-1, 61)

The UNLV Rebels look to get their season back on track as they visit Colorado for a showdown with the Air Force Falcons. The Rebels have lost three of their last four games - including back-to-back home defeats to San Jose State and Utah State - to spoil what had been a solid start to the year. The Falcons have struggled all season long but have been better of late, defeating Army at home before dropping a 45-37 shootout against host New Mexico.

The Rebels may be in for a struggle Thursday as they bring a shaky run defense into Falcon Stadium. UNLV ranks eighth in the 12-team Mountain West Conference in rushing yards allowed per game (234.5) while surrendering 22 touchdowns on the ground and 5 1/2 yards per carry. If Air Force has done one thing well this season, it's running the ball - the Falcons are second in the conference and 11th in the FBS in rushing yards per game at 277.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU
LINE: Air Force is listed as a one-point fave, down slightly from a 1 1/2-point open. The over/under has held at 61.
WEATHER: Snow is in the forecast at Falcon Stadium with temperatures in the mid-teens and wind blowing across the length of the field at 13 mph.

ABOUT UNLV (5-3, 3-3 Mountain West): Thursday's X-factor could be Rebels senior quarterback Caleb Herring, who will look to solve a Falcons pass defense that ranks fourth in the conference in yards against per game. Herring has thrown for more than 250 yards in three straight games, with seven touchdowns and just three interceptions over that span. His performance could ultimately determine whether feature back Tim Cornett (970 yards, 11 TDs) has room to run.

ABOUT AIR FORCE (2-8, 0-6): Solving the Falcons' offense isn't difficult - Air Force has run the ball an unfathomable 538 times so far in 2013, while attempting just 141 passes. But stopping the Falcons' ground attack is a much harder task; they're averaging better than five yards per carry with 26 rushing touchdowns spread out among nine different players. Eighteen different Falcons have at least one carry, led by Anthony LaCoste with 111 for 781 yards and six scores.

TRENDS

* Rebels are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 games following a SU loss
* Falcons are 2-7 ATS in their last nine conference games.
* Over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.

A look at the Chicago Bulls' recent circus road trip history

It's never a good time for the Chicago Bulls to spend two weeks away from the United Center, but this year's edition of the circus road trip couldn't have come at a worse point in the season.

Chicago will embark on its annual circus voyage, when the circus kicks the team out of town for a few weeks, with just one win in its first four road games. Compare that to a perfect 5-0 mark in their own building and it's easy to see why the Bulls might prefer to send Barnum and Bailey packing this year. That said, the Bulls have actually fared better during the road trip in recent years - making them an intriguing play over that two-week stretch.

Chicago opens this extended away stretch as 1-point road favorites in Denver Thursday night.

Here's a look at how the Bulls have fared on their most recent circus road trips:

2003-04 to 2006-07: 5-20 SU, 11-14 ATS

Chicago was trounced in five straight games in 2003-04 but actually covered in three of the five defeats. The Bulls went 1-6 SU the following year, but only covered three times. The 2005-06 trip saw a decent turnaround - the Bulls went 3-3 SU and ATS - but was followed by a 1-6 trek the next season, a stretch in which the Bulls covered just twice. That included losing by 10 to the L.A. Lakers as a three-point dog, and dropping a 15-point decision in Philadelphia despite being installed as a 1 1/2-point fave.

2007-08 to 2009-10: 5-14 SU, 7-12 ATS

After carrying on the tradition of struggling on the circus trip - going 1-5 SU and ATS in 2007-08 - Chicago fans had high hopes when the Bulls went on to use the first pick in the 2008 draft on standout point guard Derrick Rose. The circus trip results improved - but only barely. The Bulls went 3-4 the following season - while actually finishing 4-3 ATS - but regressed in 2009-10, losing the final five games of the six-game trek while covering just twice. Four of the five defeats were by a margin of 15 points or more.

2010-11 to 2012-12: 6-6 SU, 8-4 ATS

The most recent Bulls seasons don't provide as much value when trying to assess the team's performance during the lengthy trip. For one thing, there was no trek during the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season; the schedule didn't kick off until well after Barnum and Bailey had vacated the arena. Additionally, Rose suffered a knee injury at the end of that campaign and sat out all of 2012-13. The results do, however, tell bettors that this edition of the Bulls was far more formidable than in years past. The team went 4-3 SU and 6-1 ATS in 2010-11, and was a ho-hum 2-3 SU and ATS last season.

Summary

It's difficult to know how the Bulls are going to perform. But given the steady roster improvement over the past few seasons, the fact that the roster is relatively healthy and that Rose continues to show improvement in his recovery from major knee surgery, Chicago should be a difficult opponent for all six teams it faces on its annual circus road trip. And you certainly couldn't have said that nine or 10 years ago.

UNLV at Air Force (-1) 9:30 ET ESPNU
5* Air Force
In late October, UNLV recorded their 5th win of the season against Nevada. It left the Rebels 1 win short of qualifying for their first Bowl Game since 2000. Excitement ran high for UNLV backers in Sin City. Since that time, however, the Rebs have dropped a pair of home games to San Jose and Utah St. Now, the pressure mounts with this road trip to Air Force and a home game against surging San Diego St. still on the agenda. Pressure packed times for HC Hauck. Remember, this is a guy who coached the Rebels to a record of 5-16 ATS as road dog. The Air Force has struggled through an injury-plagued season that has left them 2-8 SU, 3-7 ATS and winless in league play. But, we know this team will never give up. Their nightmare season has resulted in a reduction of this line by at least 10 points since opening week. On recent runs of 6-17 ATS and 5-15 ATS as home chalk, we back the bounce from an Air Force team who has reached the nadir of their discontent.

Wofford at Minnesota
Richard Pitino has Minnesota playing really good basketball in his first-year, as evidenced by the Gophers 15-point victory at Richmond earlier this season. The Gophers come into the game with a 4-0 mark while Wofford has a 1-2 record, including a 20-point loss at Georgia to open the season and a 21-point loss at Iona. This is not your typical Minnesota team like we have seen over the past several years under Tubby Smith. True to his HOF Dad's teaching, the younger Pitino wants his team to defend full court, shoot a decent amount of 3's and get up and down the floor. Wofford is only averaging 63.3 ppg while Minnesota is scoring over 80 ppg and giving up just under 63. The real story in this game will be on the glass, where Minnesota has a 12 rebound per game edge. In addition, they also shoot FT better than Wofford. All in all, we feel like this is a game where Minnesota, which is feeling good about themselves, continues that feel good story. The Sharps say....

3 UNITS - MINNESOTA (-17.5)

NBA doubleheader: Clippers at Thunder, Bulls at Nuggets

L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City Thunder (-5.5, 210)

Chris Paul is setting NBA records as he drags the Los Angeles Clippers to the top half of the Western Conference. Paul will look to notch his 13th straight points-assists double-double to begin the season when the Clippers visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Paul scored 16 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and handed out 11 assists on Wednesday to guide Los Angeles past the Minnesota Timberwolves in the opener of a two-game trip.

The Thunder will be looking for some revenge after suffering a 111-103 defeat to the Clippers in Los Angeles on Nov. 13. Oklahoma City fell again the next night but took its last two, including a 115-113 victory over Denver on Monday that kicked off a six-game homestand. That win left coach Scott Brooks and star Kevin Durant upset about the defensive effort. “We’ve got to do a better job of being a defensive team,” Brooks said. “We have to play better defense.”

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT.

LINE: The Thunder opened as -5 home faves and have been bet to -5.5. The total opened at 211.5 and have move down to 210.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: L.A. Clippers (-12.6) - Oklahoma City (-12.4) + home court (-3) = -3.2 Oklahoma City

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (8-4, 7-5 ATS): Paul was the best player on the floor in the final minutes at Minnesota, scoring 13 in a row for Los Angeles at one
point in the last four minutes to spark the team to a 102-98 victory. Paul went for 14 points and 16 assists in the first meeting with the Thunder but was overshadowed by teammate Matt Barnes, who got into a shoving match with Oklahoma City forward Serge Ibaka that left both ejected and was followed by some profane tweets from Barnes in the locker room. Barnes will not be a concern on Thursday, as he did not travel with the team on the road trip after suffering an eye contusion on Monday.

ABOUT THE THUNDER (7-3, 4-6 ATS): That skirmish between Barnes and Ibaka ended up being much worse for Oklahoma City, which squandered a nine-point halftime lead. Ibaka had been 6-for-6 from the floor in that first half before being tossed with six seconds left in the second quarter, and the team is increasing his role in the offense as it works in a smaller lineup. Ibaka is shooting 60.3 percent from the floor over his last five games but was held to six points on 3-of-7 shooting against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Oklahoma City.
* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Clippers are 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Oklahoma City.
* Thunder are 1-8 ATS in their its last nine home games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Oklahoma City had a three-game winning streak in the series before falling last week.

2. Durant has scored 33 or more points in four of the last six games.

3. Paul’s 12 straight double-doubles to start the season surpasses Magic Johnson’s 11 from the 1990-91 campaign.

Chicago Bulls at Denver Nuggets (+1, 107)

The Chicago Bulls typically have trouble in Denver but bring a five-game winning streak into Thursday’s matchup against the Nuggets. Denver has won each of its last six home games against Chicago dating back to the 2005-06 season and is averaging 112.3 points during a three-game home winning streak. The Bulls, who are beginning a six-game road trip, are playing terrific defense and allowing an average of 81.8 points during their winning streak.

Derrick Rose continues to search for his MVP form in his comeback season and he will need to be on top of his game to deal with Denver point guard Ty Lawson, who is averaging 22 points and 8.6 assists. “Obviously, that’s a matchup that a lot of people want to see,” Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said. “Ty’s playing at a high level. Derrick Rose, we know what he’s capable of as well as a former MVP.” Rose is averaging just 15 points and 4.5 assists while shooting 34.4 percent from the field.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT, WGN (Chicago)

LINE: The Nuggets have held steady as +1 home dogs. The total opened at 196 and has been bet up to 197.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Chicago (-10.0) - Denver (-5.5) + home court (-3.0) = Chicago -1.5

ABOUT THE BULLS (6-3, 4-5 ATS): Versatile Jimmy Butler will miss the road excursion after an MRI exam revealed he suffered a sprained right big toe in
Monday’s victory over Charlotte. Butler is averaging 11.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals and either Mike Dunleavy or Kirk Hinrich will move into a starting role. “It’s part of the game,” Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said prior to Wednesday’s practice. “But we have more than enough. I’ve been pleased with our bench play. So the guys that are called upon, they have to be ready.”

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (4-6, 5-5 ATS): Guard Nate Robinson is ailing with a wrist injury at the worst possible time – with a game against Chicago arriving.
Robinson was a playoff standout for the Bulls last season while Rose was sidelined and he desperately wants to play against his former teammates. “I play through all injuries if I can,” Robinson said. “I love the game too much.” Robinson scored 24 points in his Denver debut but has reached double digits just twice since and has scored only 25 total points in the Nuggets’ last six games.

TRENDS:

* Home team is 8-2-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
* Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Denver.
* Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.
* Bulls are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Denver.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Denver has won 12 of its last 13 home meetings with Chicago.

2. Chicago ranks second in the NBA in scoring defense at 89 per game.

3. The Nuggets missed 18 free throws in Monday’s 115-113 loss to Oklahoma City.

3* on DENVER NUGGETS +1

Quite simply we are getting outstanding 'value' on these Denver Nuggets at HOME tonight & on National TV (TNT). The crowd will be electric with this game being on TNT, and IMO the wrong team is favored here. D Rose is still finding his way back & the team in general is still 'gelling' with Rose back, too. The Bulls are just (1-3 SU) on the ROAD this season, and this team has simply been much much stronger when they play at HOME the last couple years, too. On the flip side we have a rested Nuggets team who EXCEL at HOME and flat out Denver has one of the NBA's best home court edge & have been of the league's best HOME teams the ¥ last few years. We're also getting value on this game due to the Bulls "5 game win streak", however if you take a closer look at who they have played, 4 of the 5 wins were over league doormats (Cleve, Charl, Tor, Utah). Like I stated above, I believe the wrong team is favored and I have this game (Denver -2.5) and we are all over the DENVER NUGGETS in this 'spot' tonight.

STATFOX FORECASTER

NEW ORLEANS (107) AT ATLANTA (108)
Latest Line: Atlanta +9.5; Total: 53.5

The Falcons try to end a long losing skid when they host the division rival Saints on Thursday night. New Orleans remained perfect at home with a 23-20 win over the 49ers Sunday, but is just 1-3 ATS (2-2 SU) on the road this year. Atlanta has lost four straight (SU and ATS) by an average of 18.5 PPG. The Falcons were three yards away from a Week 1 road win over the Saints, but Matt Ryan was intercepted in the end zone in the game's final minute. Although QB Drew Brees is 12-3 with 4,635 passing yards and 31 TD in this series since arriving in New Orleans, he threw 5 INT in last year's visit to Atlanta, a 23-13 loss.

The Colorado Avalanche have been playing a lot better than most expected. This team is 15-5 and has done a great job on the road where they own a 6-2 record. They snapped a three-game losing streak with a huge win at home vs. Chicago, and should have their heads on right heading to Phoenix. Phoenix is 9-0-1 to start the season so it is likely the Avalanche come in hear with full focus. Colorado has been at their best off of a win where they are 12-3 in their last 15. The Coyotes are just 3-7 in their last 10 vs. an opponent that scored 5+ in their previous game. Take Colorado.

Rice (-18) at UAB 7:30 FS1
4* Rice

The Owls as nearly 3 TD road chalk. Are you kidding? But, it is warranted. For these are truly two teams headed opposite directions. With 4 consecutive losses, including 63-14 last week at E. Carolina in which they allowed 625 yards, the Blazers have now lost 4 consecutive games, stand 2-8 SU on the season, and have tossed the towel. They are 5-12 ATS on the run and have a 43 point defense. Rice is still in the hunt for the CUSA West title. With one of the most experienced teams in the nation, the Owls are 7-3 SU, 8-2 ATS and 5-1 SU in CUSA play. That makes their total run currently 13-4 ATS. At the beginning of the season, this game would have been at a “Pick” range. As a result, the adjustments have been made, but not to the point where one should consider backing UAB.

4-Unit Play. Take #726 Massachusetts (-3.5) over Nebraska (12:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 21)
This game is part of the Charleston Classic. I like the matchup for the Minutemen. Tey have been
playing very well early in the season. Chaz Williams is one of the top guards in the country for the
Minutemen and he is averaging 21 points per game. Massachusetts has had some success in early
season tournaments the last few years. Nebraska is still rebuilding under Tim Miles. They lost a lot
of scoring punch from last year and will struggle again in the Big Ten. I don't see them getting a
win here.

3-Unit Play. Take #733 North Texas (+4) over Columbia (5 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 21)
This is an interesting game. But I think that North Texas will win this game. They have a lot of
experience back from last year's team. This team has revenge from an early season tournament
two years ago. Columbia won that game 72-57 and there are still some players on the Mean Green
that remember. Columbia falls in this one but take the points just in

3-Unit Play. #732 Take Clemson (-2) over Temple (8 p.m., Thursday, November 21)
Both of these teams entered the season with essentially new teams due to graduation, but
Temple lost so much more to the tune of nearly 50 points per game worth of scoring. Clemson has
shown perhaps it is a bit more ready to cope with their young roster by opening the schedule 3-0. With not one senior on their squad this season, Clemson will have to grow up prior to jumping into
a very difficult ACC league schedule. That being said, they'll keep up their fast start and improve
to 4-0 with a win here over Temple. I don't think the Owls are equipped to make up for the losses
of 20-point scorer Khalif Wyatt and the rest of Temple's lost starters. They've begun the season
1-2 for a reason. ACC over American in this one.

3 Unit Play. Take #732 Clemson -3 over Temple (8:00p.m., Thursday, Nov 21 ESPNU)
The Clemson Tigers are a perfect 3-0 and their defense has given them the reason why they are
perfect. The Tigers 'D' is holding opponents 48.3ppg and if Temple struggles to score tonight this
game will be over quick. The Temple Owls sstruggled to score against in the 2nd half and I'm
pretty sure the Clemson defense is better then Towson. Look for another big game from K.J.
McDaniels for the Tigers and we will see him grab another double-double. The Tigers are 7-2 ATS

They have faced a few tough teams in tough places to begin their year. This is school that
posted four straight winning seasons before last year. Things look to be back to those levels
again this year with this veteran squad.
Kent State has come out of the gates playing well this year with a big upset of Temple on the
road and then taking Seton Hall to the limit as well. Decent mid-level program laying close to
double digits here just seems to be way too much in my eyes.

Where the action is: Books rooting for Falcons

It's an NFC South battle as the Atlanta Falcons host the New Orleans Saints in Thursday Night Football. We talk to Michael Stewart, an oddsmaker with Carbonsports.ag about the action coming in on this primetime matchup and where the odds could end up come kickoff Thursday night.

New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons - Open: +8, Move: +10

This week's Thursday night game is all about two teams on opposite ends of the spectrum. The rivals opened the season against one another with the Saints winning 23-17 at home and covering as 3.5-point faves.

Depending on the wagering outlet, the Saints opened anywhere from -7 to -9.5 and action had come flooding in on the road fave.

According to Stewart, even saying "flooding in" is a bit of an understatement.

"Literally every single bet wrote at 8 was on the Saints and we quickly went to 8.5, which really didn't stop the bleeding so early Monday morning we went to Saints -9," Stewart told Covers. "At that price we started to see a bit of Falcons money but certainly not enough to overcome our liability on the Saints."

Sharps have come in to take the points at the current number, but according to Stewart, 70 percent of the action coming in is on the Saints.

"There's no way we'll go to 10.5 in this game as we'd really open ourselves up to being middled," Stewart says. "I'm sure our sharper bettors are waiting for that but it's not going to happen."

Stewart and his book opened the total at 53.5, which has produced solid two-way action.

"We literally can't lose money on the total at this point," Stewart said. "We've written a ton of Saints to over parlays, so if that's the result tonight then we're going to get crushed. But as it stands this morning, we're going to be rooting hard for the Falcons to stay within a TD of the Saints tonight."

Matchup: New Orleans at Atlanta
Time: 8:25 PM EDT (Thu)
Play: Over (52.5 -105)
Line Source: 5Dimes
Posted on: November 21, 2013 @ 7:41:46 AM EST

The key to handicapping this total is the degree to which the Falcons will put up a fight. Are the going to adopt the strategy of running the ball in an attempt to minimize the time that the Saints’ offense is on the field or are they going to throw the ball in an attempt to outscore the Saints? If the coaching staff is smart, they should realize that their best chance of winning is taking risks. We like the OVER.
Atlanta ran for 152 yards and had 420 yards of offense last week against the Bucs. They had 24 first downs and converted only ONE third down. This means that they were moving the ball down the field quickly with chunks of yardage, moving the chains on first and second down. Nine different Falcons caught passes, although Roddy White only had three for a total of 36 yards. Their rushing stat qualifies them for a nice system that states, “Home dogs are 71-30 OU in the history of the database when they are off a loss in which they rushed for 150-plus yards. The SDQL is a compact:
HD and p:L and p:RY>=150
This system is 5-1 OU this season with the lone loss the Dolphins – Bengals game that finished at 22-20 on a safety in overtime with the OU line at 43.
As a team, Atlanta is 6-0 OU (+11.17 ppg) as a home dog when facing a team that has passed the ball on at least 60% of their offensive plays season-to-date and 8-0 OU as a dog after road game in which they allowed at least 8 points more than their season-to-date average.
It is also worth mentioning that the Falcons are 7-0 OU after a game in which Roddy White didn't have reception for more than 20 yards, going over by an average of 11.2 ppg. The SDQL text is:
Roddy White:p:longest reception<=20 and date>=20130101
The Saints are 6-0 OU (+13.25 ppg) after beating the 49ers and 8-0 OU after a home game in which Darren Sproles had positive receiving yardage, but did not have a 20-plus yard reception. The SDQL for the latter of these two is:
Darren Sproles:p:longest reception<20 and p:H and Darren Sproles:p:receiving yards>0 and date>=20111030
Note that the length of Sproles’ longest catch at home in their previous game has been a perfect predictor of the Saints’ OU result, as the Saints are 0-7 OU (-9.36 ppg) after a home game in which Darren Sproles had a reception of MORE than 20 yards. The SDQL for this one is:
Darren Sproles:p:longest reception>20 and p:H and Darren Sproles:p:receiving yards>0 and date>=20111030
Note the reversed greater than/less than symbol in the first query.
If the Falcons lose here, they will go down fighting by throwing the ball aggressively. They might fake a punt, go for it on fourth down, try a flea-flicker. Their defense has allowed 34, 33 and 41 over the past three weeks to the Panthers, Seahawks and Bucs and they were on the field a long time last week. Atlanta is allowing an NFC worst 67.1% completion rate and they are dead last in the entire league in scores per possession, allowing their opponents to score points on 54.55% of their possessions! They can’t possibly be thinking that they are going to hold the Saints to something like 24 points. Atlanta must be aggressive on every offensive possession and this should get it over this number.

Don’t think they have a win in them, and UNLV is playing for bowl eligibility the next two games. I think that the cold could be bad for the Vegas boys, but I see them pulling out a win here.

Will attempt to make up our bad beat MAC loss from Tuesday. Two of the worst D’s in the MWC will face each other in Colorado Springs tonight. UNLV is allowing 42, 37, 38, 22, 34 & 38 in MWC play (36.78 ppg overall vs teams that avg 30.17 ppg = +6.60)
Air Force is allowing 52, 42, 56, 45, 27 & 45 in MWC play (40.89 ppg overall vs teams that avg 30.16 ppg = +10.73.
If offense wins the day tonight, both of these teams will score in the mid to upper – 30′s. Cold and light snow are in the forecast, and 59 is a key number, so I will keep this one a 1/2 unit wager and hope we can enter the weekend 1-1 .

1 Unit UCF/Rutgers over 57.5 (-110)
UCF/Rutgers over 57.5
The best total that I’ve seen in these weekday games. UCF giving up a little over 24 ppg against their BCS competition. Rutgers averaging a little over 29 ppg on offense. Granted they’ve had their share of injuries this season, but it seems to be affecting their defense more than their offense, where they are still averaging a little over 400 total ypg in their last 3 games. They scored 17 on Cincy last week. And keep in mind that Cincy is now just about 100% healthy on defense, and other than Louisville is probably now better than any team in the conference on that side of the ball. I expect Rutgers to have more success moving the ball this week. Nova should have plenty of success against a UCF defense giving 240 ypg passing. And UCF should have no problem moving the ball against a depleted Rutgers pass D giving up a whopping 361 YPG. UCF coming back home with a short 5 day rest after playing a full 60 minute highlight reel game against Temple in which they gave up 518 yards on defense. I’ll be surprised if they can follow that game up with a strong defensive effort tonight . I look for a mini-shootout 38-24 ish type of game.

Rice has posted 45 or more points in three of its past four games, with two overs to show for it. The over has cashed in three of the past four for UAB, thanks mostly to awful defense, giving up 52 or more points in three of the past four.

The over is 8-2 overall for the Blazers this season, including 2-1 at home. Look for Rice to run roughshod over UAB in tonight's game, with the Blazers providing some late offense for an over in the fourth quarter.

Rutgers heads to Orlando looking to derail UCF on its trek for a BCS bowl game. That trek was nearly ruined in Philadelphia last weekend, but the Knights escaped Temple with a last-minute victory.

Looking at the numbers, Rutgers is 1-4 ATS in their past five games overall. However, they had been playing without RB Paul James, arguably their best offensive talent, due to a four-game suspension. He returned last weekend and gave the team a solid performance on the ground. That added dimension will keep Gary Nova from having to do too much at the quarterback position.

UCF is clearly the better overall team, and they're 7-3 ATS in their past 10. However, they were laying a similar number last week, and nearly choked the game away outright. They will win this game, but this is an awfully big number to cover against a team still fighting for bowl eligibility.

This UNLV team is a bit underrated, and they're paying for what other teams have done in the past in Colorado Springs. That's why the 5-5 Rebels are underdogs to a 2-8 Falcons team.

Yes, UNLV is 0-5 ATS in the past five meetings with Air Force. And yes, the home team has covered eight straight meetings in this series. But when most of those games were happening, most of these kids were in high school, or even middle school! Don't be fooled by the historical trends. True, sometimes they have credence when players are the same, but in this case, they're not.

These recent trends are more telling: UNLV is 6-2 ATS in their past eight games overall, and Air Force is 7-19 ATS in their past 26 home games. The Falcons are 5-16 ATS in their past 21 overall, and 2-7 ATS in their past nine conference tilts. And USAFA is 0-4 ATS in their past four following a bye, while UNLV is 5-1-1 in their past seven Thursday games.

Don't be afraid to pull the trigger on UNLV, who is fighting for bowl eligibility, while Air Force has long since been eliminated from that picture.

The Owls needs some help in the Conference USA West race but it will be another bowl season for Rice. Rice has scored 45 or more points in three of the last four games but this has not been an overly impressive statistical team. Rice has won and covered in four of five road games this season and this week they face a 2-8 UAB squad that has lost four in row while being outscored 195-80 in those games. UAB allows over 503 yards per game with 7.7 yards per play allowed, the worst mark in the nation. Rice allows 175 rushing yards per game however as this is not a great defensive team and the Owls caught some breaks last week with four turnovers going their way to create a somewhat misleading final. The Owls do have three road wins this season but they were soundly out-gained in two of those games, winning in overtime at Tulsa and winning by just six at Texas-San Antonio. Next week’s home date with Tulane will be a bigger game for the Owls and there could be a homecoming letdown after last week’s win. UAB has been a terrible team but this is just the fourth home game on a very tough road heavy schedule. The Blazers are 2-1 ATS at home this season and historically UAB is on a 20-9-2 ATS run as a home underdog since 1999. UAB actually features a superior yards-per-play offense than Rice, gaining 5.9 yards per play compared to just 5.6 for Rice. The home/road splits displays that disparity even further and the UAB defense has played much better at home, allowing a more respectable 6.1 yards per play and feature an even net yards per play margin. The home team has covered in the last four meetings in this series and value is certainly with UAB when comparing the spreads on common games these teams have played. Those numbers project Rice as only 8-11 points better than UAB where as this spread suggests a three touchdown difference.
