Thursday's Tip Sheet
By Joe Nelson

The Thursday night college football schedule features three games this week highlighted by key matchups in the Big XII and Pac-12. Texas Tech and Oklahoma State face off in an opening conference game for both teams after 2-1 starts to the season and this will be a key game in the conference pecking order for two programs expected to slide a bit downward this season despite great success in the last decade.

Matchup: Texas Tech Red Raiders at Oklahoma State Cowboys
Venue: Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma
Date: Thursday, September 25, 2014
Time/TV: 7:30 PM ET - ESPN
Line: Oklahoma State -14
Last Meeting: 2013, Oklahoma State (PK) 52-34 at Texas Tech

Both teams were ranked in the top 18 of the polls last season when Oklahoma State visited the then 7-1 Red Raiders last season. Texas Tech had just suffered its first loss of the season to Oklahoma in a tight game and Oklahoma State stormed out to a 21-0 lead before Texas Tech crept within four by halftime with the help of a defensive touchdown. Ultimately the balanced offense for Oklahoma State was too much as the Cowboys pulled away in a game where Texas Tech had more yards.

That loss wound up being the second of five straight losses to close the regular season for Texas Tech after a 7-0 start but the Red Raiders did get a redeeming Holiday Bowl win over Arizona State. Oklahoma State wound up with a 10-2 regular season but they surrendered the Big XII title and a possible BCS bowl spot losing to Oklahoma in the season finale and then wound up losing to Missouri in the Cotton Bowl. With the season opening loss to Florida State this year it marked the first time since Mike Gundy’s first season in 2005 that the program had lost three consecutive games.

With very few starters back from last season’s team most have projected a fall for Oklahoma State this season and the Cowboys were a heavy underdog in the opening week game with Florida State in Arlington. Oklahoma State lost but earned a lot of respect in the defeat, taking the defending national champions down to the wire in a 37-31 game, rallying back from an early 17-0 deficit. Oklahoma State responded with wins in the next two weeks, although the 40-23 win over FCS Missouri State was not thoroughly impressive. The 43-13 win over Texas San Antonio was much more credible however as the Roadrunners have a strong veteran team that beat Houston and took Arizona to a three-point game in their other contests.

Junior quarterback J.W. Walsh was given a shot to start for the Cowboys last season but he eventually conceded the lead role to Clint Chelf. After a strong opening game this season Walsh unfortunately injured his foot in the game versus Missouri State, leaving junior Daxx Garman in charge of the Cowboys offense. Garman has filled in admirably with 559 passing yards and no interceptions but he is nowhere near the rushing threat that Walsh was and the competition will escalate in Big XII play.

Oklahoma State will face a Texas Tech defense that has allowed nearly 37 points per game this season despite a reasonably favorable schedule. Allowing 49 points against Arkansas is one thing but UTEP posted 26 points and Central Arkansas posted 35 points in narrow wins for the Red Raiders. The defensive staff is in flux right now as defensive coordinator Matt Wallerstedt resigned last week with speculation that the move was related to substance abuse rather than performance. Outside linebackers coach Mike Smith has taken over the defense for the rest of the season under second year head coach Kliff Kingsbury.

Texas Tech still possesses one of the great passing offenses in the nation and sophomore quarterback Davis Webb has thrown for nearly 1,000 yards in three games. He does have four interceptions already this season and he did struggle with less than 55 percent completions in his lone road start this season. The Red Raiders are aiming to be a bit more balanced offensively this season so far rushing for over 170 yards per game after averaging fewer than 120 yards per game on the ground last season.

For both teams the strength of the team and the coaching staff are on offense and both teams returned very few key experienced players on defense this season. Over the last three seasons this matchup has averaged nearly 80 points per game with Oklahoma State now having won and covered in five straight seasons in this series and another higher scoring game seems likely to kick off the college football weekend.

Line Movement: The line opened at -15 before falling to -13 and bouncing back to -14.

Texas Tech Historical Trends: Texas Tech has lost S/U & ATS in five straight meetings in this series while going 1-8 ATS vs. Oklahoma State since 2005. The Red Raiders are 6-13 ATS as a road underdog since 2005 and 4-12 ATS coming off a S/U loss since 2011. The Red Raiders are just 3-6 ATS as a double-digit underdog since 2010.

Oklahoma State Historical Trends: Oklahoma State is 85-62-1 ATS at home since 2002 and 41-18 ATS as a double-digit favorite since 2002. In that span Oklahoma State is impressively 29-10 ATS as a double-digit home favorite. The Cowboys are 4-0 S/U & ATS in the last four home meetings with Texas Tech going back to 2005.

There are two additional Thursday night games this week:

Appalachian State at Georgia Southern 7:30 PM ET (ESPNU)
Line: Georgia Southern -16

These FBS newcomers played regularly as Southern Conference members at the FCS level. Georgia Southern is the heavy favorite this week and this is a team that has made some noise already this season with a 2-2 start including a 28-6 win at South Alabama last week while also giving great scares to both NC State and Georgia Tech in narrow losses.

It is Appalachian State that has won the last three meetings between these programs however, including a 38-14 win last season with the Mountaineers posting 515 yards against the Eagles team that would eventually upset Florida late last season. Appalachian State is 1-2 this season with only a win over lowly FCS Campbell. In the hyped opening game with Michigan the Mountaineers did not compete well and last week with a great opportunity for a win the Mountaineers fell 21-20 against Southern Miss on the road. That was a game where Appalachian State had significant yardage edges and many great scoring opportunities but wound up missing three field goals. Despite the kicking woes the Mountaineers went for the tie upon scoring late and the cowardly move was punished with a blocked extra point to seal the defeat.

Georgia Southern is rushing for 357 yards per game this season, the second best mark nationally at this point in the season and this is even with the loss of running back Jerick McKinnon to the NFL. Appalachian State has been a bit more balanced and last week highly regarded redshirt freshman quarterback Taylor Lamb got his first start and played the full game, leading a productive attack but one that failed to cash in on several opportunities.


UCLA at Arizona State 10:00 PM ET (FOX1)
Line: UCLA -5½

Two undefeated Pac-12 South contenders face off Thursday night in what should be one of the bigger games of the Pac-12 season but injuries have soured the appeal of the game. UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley has been banged up with an elbow issue but is expected to play but senior Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly has been ruled out with a foot injury. Kelly had a brilliant season leading the Sun Devils to the division title last season and he will be replaced by senior Mike Bercovici who has played sparingly.

Last season Arizona State won 38-33 at UCLA in a matchup of top 20 teams late in the season in a game that clinched the division title for the Sun Devils. Arizona State had a modest yardage edge but benefitted from a defensive touchdown to build a 35-13 lead at halftime before UCLA made a valiant comeback that fell just short. UCLA opened the season projected as a national title contender but in a 3-0 S/U and 0-3 ATS start the Bruins have had underwhelming offensive numbers. The schedule has featured quality opposition but more was expected of a team with great experience coming off last season’s 10-3 campaign highlighted by blowout wins over USC and Virginia Tech to close the year.

Outside of Kelly the Sun Devils have one of the least experienced teams in the conference but Todd Graham did pull in some quality transfers to boost the squad. Arizona State is 3-0 but the schedule has been weak and the defense has looked vulnerable against questionable competition. UCLA has covered in eight of the last 11 meetings in this series but Arizona State has won S/U in four of the last seven meetings and the Bruins are just 25-37 ATS as a road favorite since 1988.

UCLA, ASU clash in the desert

UCLA BRUINS (3-0) at ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS (3-0)
Line & Total: Arizona State -5.5, Total: 59.5

Thursday night will be a huge night in determining the Pac-12 conference, as No. 11 UCLA travels to Tempe to take on No. 15 Arizona State.

Quarterback play is big in any game, but it may be even more important on Thursday night. In a 20-17 victory against Texas on Sept. 13, Bruins star QB Brett Hundley left the game early with an arm injury, but Jerry Neuheisel was able to come in and get the victory for the team. Right now, UCLA has not commented on who will be the starting quarterback in this game.

However, for Arizona State, QB Taylor Kelly will not start after suffering a foot injury. That means junior QB Mike Bercovici will get the start for the Sun Devils. While the Bruins (0-3 ATS) have not been dominant early in the season, winning all three of their games by a combined 18 points, the Sun Devils (1-2 ATS) have done a good job of taking care of business by winning all three of their games by at least 14 points.

This series has been tight since 1992 with ASU holding a 10-9 SU advantage, and UCLA having the 9-8-2 ATS edge. The Sun Devils hold a 5-3 SU edge at home in this timeframe with the clubs splitting the games 4-4 ATS. The past three meetings have been decided by a total of eight points with the Bruins winning 29-28 in 2011 and 45-43 in 2012 before falling at home to ASU last year, 38-33.

This series also has led to a lot of high-scoring games, as 11 of the past 17 meetings have finished Over the total. While UCLA is 49-31 ATS (61%) in September games since 1992, Arizona State's Todd Graham is 9-0 ATS as a home underdog of seven points or less as a college head coach.

Bruins LB Myles Jack (ankle) and Sun Devils DB Ezekiel Bishop (undisclosed) headline the list of players who are questionable for this game.

The Bruins were able to find out they have a quality backup after QB Jerry Neuheisel’s performance against Texas when he completed 23-of-30 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns. While he showed he can win, going on the road in conference play is much more difficult. If QB Brett Hundley (686 pass yards, 8.5 YPA, 3 TD, 1 INT) is unable to go for the Bruins, they lose a guy at the quarterback position who can make plays with both his arm and his legs (74 rush yards, 1 TD).

If Neuheisel is playing quarterback, that means UCLA will have to get a big performance from RB Paul Perkins (304 rush yards, 4.8 YPC, 2 TD). Perkins also does a nice job of catching the ball out in the flat with nine grabs for 80 yards this season. The air attack of UCLA has been strong this year with 288.0 passing YPG (32nd in nation), but the ground game must continue to improve upon its 159.0 rushing YPG (73rd in FBS). Whoever is playing quarterback will have a talented wide receiver to throw to in Jordan Payton (19 catches, 266 yards, 1 TD). He is a big, athletic receiver that is not scared to go over the middle, and was the target that Neuheisel connected with to win the game with 3:00 remaining versus Texas.

Like the offense, there is a lot of talent on the defensive side of the ball, but this unit has had its struggles as well. The Bruins rank 60th in FBS in points allowed (24.0 PPG), but a big portion of that was given up against Memphis in a 42-35 win on Sept. 6. LB Myles Jack (26 tackles, 2 PD) is one of the elite players in all of the country, but he injured his ankle in the Texas game, and like with Hundley, the Bruins have not said what his status is for Thursday. LB Erik Kendricks (37 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 INT) is the leading tackler on the UCLA defense.

For the Sun Devils, who have the No. 7 scoring offense in the nation (47.0 PPG), adjusting to life without QB Taylor Kelly (625 pass yards, 168 rush yards, 7 total TD) won't be easy. Kelly is similar to Hundley in that he can make plays in all areas of the game.

While QB Mike Bercovici (14-for-24, 112 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT in career) does not have a lot of experience, he does have one of the elite ball carriers in the country on his team in RB D.J. Foster (510 rush yards, 9.4 YPC, 5 TD). Foster is a threat every time he touches the ball, and he can also create a lot of havoc in the screen game as well.

At wide receiver, the Sun Devils have another one of the top FBS players in junior WR Jaelen Strong (19 catches, 266 yards, 2 TD). At 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds, he is a matchup nightmare at the position. He is too big and strong for corners, but ASU can line him in the slot, where he will run away from safeties. For Bercovici being inexperienced, he will look for Strong early and often in this game.

DB Damarious Randall (26 tackles) is the leading tackler on the 38th-ranked scoring defense (20.3 PPG) in the country. Like the Sun Devils offense, the defense is a unit that relies heavily on speed. DB Jordan Simone had an interception in the win against Colorado, and these guys will have to be ready to defend against Payton as one of their mates in the secondary, DB Ezekiel Bishop, may be out due to injury.

Game of the Day: UCLA at Arizona State

UCLA Bruins at Arizona State Sun Devils (+4.5, 59.5)

Arizona State will have to get by without its starting quarterback when the No. 12 Sun Devils host No. 10 UCLA in a key Pac-12 contest on Thursday night. Taylor Kelly remains sidelined with a right foot injury suffered Sept. 13 against Colorado, the last time the Sun Devils played a game. UCLA might also have to go with a backup as quarterback Brett Hundley remains questionable with an injury to his non-throwing elbow, which occurred in a Sept. 13 win versus Texas.

In the absence of Kelly, Mike Bercovici will make his first collegiate start for Arizona State and he’s familiar to UCLA offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone, who recruited him when he was an assistant coach at Arizona State under former head coach Dennis Erickson. If Hundley is unable to play against the Sun Devils, the Bruins would likely start Jerry Neuheisel, son of former UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, but coach Jim Mora also indicated freshman Asiantii Woulard might get some action behind center. Hundley would certainly be missed, as he has completed 70.4 percent of his passes through three games, accounting for 686 yards and three touchdowns through the air.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1.

LINE HISTORY: The Westgate LV Superbook opened the Sun Devils as 5.5-point home dogs, but that now sits +4.

INJURY REPORT: UCLA - QB Brett Hundley (Probable, elbow), OL Jake Brendel (Questionable, knee), OL Conor McDermott (Questionable, undisclosed). Arizona State - DE Ezekiel Bishop (Questionable, undisclosed).

WEATHER: Temperatures in the low-90s with clear skies.

POWER RANKINGS: UCLA (-15.5) - Arizona State (-14.5) + home field (-3.0) = Arizona State -2

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "Status of both starting quarterbacks (UCLA’s Brett Hundley questionable; Arizona State’s Taylor Kelly out) has put line on this contest in question. Bruins will look to snap a gnarly 0-8 ATS road record when seeking conference revenge (lost, 38-33, to ASU last season) while the Sun Devils look to start the season 4-0 for the first time since 2007 in this battle of PAC-12 South division leaders." March Lawrence.

WHAT BOOKS SAY: “As we expected, the betting community believes the underdog on national TV has a good chance to upset. We’re in the mid 60s as far as percentile for ASU side and moneyline. This spread has slowly crept down after a small initial jump and we just moved to +3.5. I won’t be surprised if this one closes at a field goal.” John Lester.

ABOUT UCLA (3-0 SU, 0-3 ATS, 1-2 O/U): The Bruins have found little room in the run game this season but one of the few bright spots has been the play of Paul Perkins, who has rushed for 304 yards and three touchdowns this season. He posted the first 100-yard rushing game of his career in the win against Texas, finishing with 126 yards on 24 carries, and his bruising running style should wear on the Sun Devils. UCLA returned its top four rushers from last season but are still looking for Jordon James and Myles Jack to flash the elusiveness they showed a year ago.

ABOUT ARIZONA STATE (3-0 SU, 1-2 ATS, 1-2 O/U): De’Marieya Nelson caught seven passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns last season but the 6-3, 224-pound senior is expected to see more action at linebacker than tight end against the Bruins. He had 16 tackles on the defensive side of the ball a year ago, forced two fumbles and recovered another. Nelson is also a key special-teams player for the Sun Devils, making him one of the rare three-way stars of college football.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Bruins are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings.
* Over is 6-0 in Sun Devils last six games following a bye week.
* Sun Devils are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a bye week.

CONSENSUS: 60 percent of wagers are backing Arizona State.

When UCLA and Arizona State get together, high totals tend to follow. The Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings between the two schools.

Arizona State hosts UCLA in college football action Thursday. The Bruins are currently four-point road faves with the total set at 60.5.

Over sizzling with Texas Tech playing on turf

The Texas Tech Red Raiders have a history of participating in high-scoring games on fieldturf, evidenced by the Over going 7-1 in their last eight games on the artificial surface.

Texas Tech will be playing on turf once again when they visit Oklahoma State Thursday evening. The Cowboys are presently 13.5-point home faves with a total of 70.5 for the matchup.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

NCAAF

Appalachian State trailed Southern Miss 20-14 last week, scored tying TD with 0:06 left, then had PAT blocked and lost 21-20, even though ASU outgained Southern Miss by 66 yards. ASU beat Eagles last three years, by 7-3-21 points- they won three of last four visits here. Eagles are pretty good, losing to NC State/Ga Tech on road by combined total of five points- they won 28-6 at South Alabama last week, even though they only completed six passes the whole game.

Oklahoma State doesn't play a road game until October 11, because they lost 7 starters on both sides of ball; OSU lost 37-31 to Florida State on a neutral field, so they're pretty good- they're 24-9 in last 33 games as a home favorite. Cowboys won last five games with Texas Tech, scoring 59 ppg in last three meetings, winning by 18-38-60 points. Tech failed to cover its last four visits here. Red Raiders gave up 438 rushing yards in last game, a 49-28 home loss to Arkansas- it was so bad they fired their defensive coordinator, saying he coached under the influence. Really.

Arizona State is 2-3 in last five games with UCLA; last three series tilts were decided by total of 8 points. Sun Devils lost QB Kelly; major step down to backup Bercovici, who threw four passes LY, is 9-17 this year. ASU won easily at New Mexico/Colorado, but they have to scale back their offense bigtime now. Bruins gutted out 20-17 win at Texas behind backup QB Neuheisel; check Hundley's (elbow) status for this. There is a big dropoff for them if Hundley sits, but not as much as ASU has. UCLA lost four of last six visits here; they're 5-2 as road underdogs in Mora era. Sun Devils are 9-4 as home favorites under Graham.

'Skins look to rebound

NEW YORK GIANTS (1-2) at WASHINGTON REDSKINS (1-2)

Line and Total: Washington -3.5, Total: 45

Kirk Cousins and the Redskins host Eli Manning and the Giants in a big divisional showdown on Thursday night.

New York got its first win of the season on Sunday, as it picked off Ryan Fitzpatrick three times on the way to a 30-17 home victory. Washington, on the other hand, went to Philadelphia and lost in a 37-34 shootout. The Giants will need to run the ball well in order to defeat a Redskins team that just held LeSean McCoy to 22 yards on 19 carries. Cousins, however, will be the key to the game for Washington. He must limit his mistakes and avoid turning the ball over at all costs against an aggressive New York secondary.

The Giants are 19-7 ATS (73%) in road games after gaining 400+ total yards in their previous game since 1992, and are also 58-37 ATS (61%) off a home win during that span. But the Redskins are 35-20 ATS (64%) versus excellent passing teams with a completion percentage of 64% or better since 1992.

New York has dominated this series with nine SU wins in the past 12 meetings, and each of the past five matchups have gone Under the total.

LBs Jon Beason (toe) and Devon Kennard (hamstring) are listed as questionable for the Giants, while a whole slew of Washington players like LB Akeem Jordan (knee), TE Jordan Reed (hamstring), CB Tracy Porter (hamstring), LB Brian Orakpo (finger) and DE Jason Hatcher (hamstring) are questionable for Thursday night. Redskins' top CB DeAngelo Hall tore his Achilles last week and is out for the remainder of the season.

The Giants finally put together a solid all-around performance last week, and that started with a mistake-free game from QB Eli Manning (674 yards, 5 TD, 4 INT), who was 21-of-28 for 234 yards and two touchdowns. This was Manning’s first game without an interception since Week 11 of last year. He will need to limit his turnovers again against the Redskins’ defense, as controlling the clock and winning the time of possession battle is crucial for New York.

Part of the reason the Giants were able to control the pace in Week 3 was the running of RB Rashad Jennings (286 yards, 2 TD), who rushed 34 times for 176 yards and a touchdown against Houston. New York will feed him early and often against the Redskins despite Washington holding the Eagles to just 54 rushing yards on Sunday.

WR Victor Cruz (12 rec., 191 yards, 1 TD) finally turned in a big performance for his team, catching five passes for 107 yards and a touchdown that snapped a touchdown drought that lasted nearly 365 days. If Thursday’s matchup turns into a shootout, Cruz will need to use his ability to get open very often.

The Giants must be better defensively against Washington than they have been against the rest of their opponents this season. They are allowing 25.7 PPG to start the year and their passing defense has really hurt them, allowing 258.3 yards per game through the air (22nd in NFL).

The Redskins led the Eagles 17-7 early in the second quarter, but were trailing 21-20 at halftime and never regained the lead. QB Kirk Cousins (677 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT) was excellent under center, throwing for 427 yards with three touchdowns and just one pick.

He was able to make big plays and find ways to get the football into the hands of his top playmakers, WRs Pierre Garcon (22 rec, 227 yards, 1 TD) and DeSean Jackson (14 rec, 198 yards, 1 TD) who combined for 16 receptions, 255 yards and 2 TD. Cousins will need to have a big game against New York, as the Giants’ defense has been solid against the run this season and disappointing against the pass.

Alfred Morris (253 rush yards, 2 TD) carried the ball 23 times for 77 yards against the Eagles. The Redskins will need him to make more out of his touches against a Giants team that will certainly be playing to control the clock on Thursday.

Washington’s defense has been surprisingly good to start the year, allowing only 64.7 yards per game on the ground (3rd in NFL) and 218.0 yards per game through the air (10th in NFL). This unit should have a lot more trouble going forward, as it will now face a much more difficult part of the schedule.

Giants at Redskins
By Kevin Rogers

It’s seems like a battle of last-place teams getting together in Washington on Thursday night, but the winner of the Giants/Redskins game is back to 2-2 and right in the NFC East race. The Eagles have rallied for three victories to start 3-0, but have a tough trip to San Francisco on Sunday, while the Cowboys are short home underdogs to the Saints looking for their third straight win. Now, New York and Washington are trying to show its worth in the NFC East at the quarter mark of the season.

The Giants finally broke through the win column in last Sunday’s 30-17 victory over previously unbeaten Houston as one-point home favorites. New York dominated in spite of losing a fumble at the Houston 10-yard line in the first quarter, while botching a field goal attempt early in the second quarter. But, the Giants scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half to take a 14-0 advantage and never look back. New York got its running game going as Rashad Jennings rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown after racking up just 110 yards in the first two losses to Detroit and Arizona.

The Redskins have been up and down through three weeks of the season, starting with a 14-3 defeat to the Texans as short road underdogs. Washington turned it around in its home opener by routing Jacksonville, 41-10 as five-point favorites, while racking up 449 yards of offense. However, the team lost quarterback Robert Griffin III to an ankle injury as Kirk Cousins stepped up to throw for 250 yards and two touchdown passes.

Cousins remains the starter at quarterback for Washington until Griffin is healthy, as the Redskins scored just one touchdown in 13 drives with the former Baylor star under center. In last week’s loss to the Eagles, Cousins put up a career-best 427 yards passing, but the Redskins couldn’t hold onto a 17-7 lead in a 37-34 setback at Lincoln Financial Field. Washington covered as four-point underdogs thanks to a Roy Helu touchdown run with 4:16 left to get within the number, while the ‘over’ of 50 ½ easily hit.

The Giants have owned this series since 2008, winning nine of the past 12 meetings with the Redskins. Last season, New York swept the two-game set, with both victories coming in the final month. Tom Coughlin’s team picked up a 24-17 triumph as one-point favorites at FedEx Field in Week 13 despite accumulating just 286 yards of offense. Three weeks later, the Giants salvaged the regular season finale in a 20-6 rout of the Redskins at Met Life Stadium as 3 ½-point favorites. Prior to 2013, Washington covered the previous five meetings, while the Redskins were last listed as a home favorite over New York in 2007, a 24-17 defeat as 3 ½-point ‘chalk.’

Primetime games have been an ‘over’ bettors’ dream this season, going 8-2 to the ‘over.’ On Thursday night games, the ‘over’ is 2-1, including the Falcons trouncing the Buccaneers last week, 56-14 on a 47 total. All three home favorites have easily covered in Thursday night action as the Seahawks, Ravens, and Falcons have all won by double-digits, while limiting opponents to a combined 36 points.

Since October 2008, the Redskins own a 5-11 ATS record as a home favorite, dating back to the dreaded Jim Zorn era. Making that number a little more relevant to what the roster currently looks like, Washington is 5-3 ATS since the start of 2012 in this role. The last two seasons have been a major difference against division opponents, as the Redskins went 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS inside the NFC East in 2012, while going backwards in 2013 with an 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS mark.

The Giants were blown out in the season opener at Detroit, but New York has cashed in 12 of its past 20 games in the role of a road underdog since 2011. Last season, the Giants won two of three road games against NFC East foes, while posting a 5-3 SU/ATS record in its previous eight away contests within the division.

Washington is currently listed as a 3 ½-point favorite at most books, while the total is set between 45 ½ and 46. The game kicks off at 8:25 PM EST from FedEx Field and can be seen on CBS and the NFL Network.

Thursday Night Football: Giants at Redskins

New York Giants at Washington (-3.5, 46)

The New York Giants finally got the offense untracked and broke into the victory column but now face a quick turnaround and a matchup with a bitter division rival when they visit the Washington Redskins on Thursday night. New York rebounded from back-to-back losses to Detroit and Arizona with a 30-17 victory over Houston. "This was huge for us, knowing we had to get this game and get this one under our belts with a short week and not wanting to look ahead," Giants wideout Victor Cruz said.

Washington dropped a shootout in a 37-34 defeat at NFC East foe Philadelphia to drop to 1-2 despite ranking second in the league with an average of 444 total yards. Losing Robert Griffin III to an ankle injury hasn't slowed down the Redskins, who saw backup Kirk Cousins throw for a career-high 427 yards and three touchdowns against the Eagles, prompting speculation of whether the former will reclaim his job when healthy. “Crazy things have happened in NFL,” Washington coach Jay Gruden told the New York Daily News. “I’m not going to discount anything.”

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

LINE HISTORY: The Westgate LV Superbook opened the Redskins as 3.5-point favorites. The total opened 45 and is up one point to 46.

INJURY REPORT: Giants - LB Jon Beason (Questionable, foot), WR Odell Beckham (Out indefinitely, hamstring). Redskins - WR DeSean Jackson (Probable, shoulder), TE Jordan Reed (Questionable, hamstring), DE Jason Hatcher (Questionable, hamstring), CB DeAngelo Hall (IR, achilles).

WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the low-60s with partly cloudy skies. Wind will blow across the field at 7 mph and there is a small 10 percent chance of rain.

POWER RANKINGS: Giants (+1.5) - Redskins (+1.75) + home field (-3.0) = Redskins -2.75

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "Redskins outplayed the Eagles by 132 yards in last week’s 3-point shootout loss at Philadelphia while the Giants rolled past the Texans in a much-needed 13-point home victory over Houston. Washington will look to extend the success of Thursday night's home teams (3-0 this season with every win by 20 or more points) while New York takes a 6-0 ATS mark away in games off back-to-back hem games into this contest." Marc Lawrence.

WHAT BOOKS SAY: “We opened at -4.5 and have seen nothing but sharp money on the Giants. I don’t think it will drop to the key field goal number however. After both offenses impressed last week, bettors are hammering the over to the tune of 86 percent. If the total gets too high, my contention would be that the under has great value." John Lester.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (1-2, SU, 1-2 ATS, 2-1 O/U): New York raised a few eyebrows in the offseason when it handed a four-year, $14 million deal to free agent Rashad Jennings, but the veteran running back sparked the win over Houston by rushing for a career-best 176 yards. Buoyed by the improved running game, Eli Manning threw for 234 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a mistake-free outing after tossing a pair of interceptions in each of the first two games. Cruz halted a 12-game touchdown drought and had only his second 100-yard performance in the span as the Giants put up 30 points on a Houston defense that had allowed a total of 20 in the first two games. New York's defense also responded by picking off its first three passes of the season.

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (1-2 SU, 2-1 ATS, 2-1 O/U): Washington's defense was hit hard by injuries in the setback to Philadelphia, losing cornerback DeAngelo Hall (Achilles' tendon) and safety Duke Ihenacho (foot) for the season. Linebacker Brian Orapko, among 11 players who were limited in practice Monday, is dealing with a torn ligament in his middle finger but said he plans to play against the Giants wearing a hard cast. Pierre Garcon bounced back from a one-catch game versus Jacksonville with 11 receptions for 138 yards while DeSean Jackson played through an ailing shoulder to also go over 100 yards and match Garcon with a touchdown. Alfred Morris has rushed for 253 yards on the season but is averaged only 3.6 yards per carry the past two weeks.

TRENDS:

* Under is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Underdog is 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings.
* Giants are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games in September.
* Under is 5-1 in Redskins last six vs. NFC East.

CONSENSUS: 64 percent of wagers are backing the Redskins.

Ideal conditions for Giants-Redskins matchup
Andrew Avery

The weather should be rather ideal in Landover, Maryland as the Washington Redskins host the New York Giants in an NFC East rivalry on Thursday Night Football this week.

Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the low-60s and partly cloudy skies. Wind will blow across the field at around seven mph during the game.

Oddsmakers have Washington as 3.5-point home faves with a total of 45.5.

'Thursday Night Football'

New York Giants and Washington Redskins kick-off week four action at FedEx Field Thursday night. The Giants' offense finally kicking in this past week defeated Houston 30-17 as Eli Manning did not turn the ball over while completing 21 of 28 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns. Rashad Jennings logged career highs in both rushing attempts (34), rushing yards (176) with one major. As for Washington, despite a 37-34 setback in Philadelphia there were plenty of positives for the squad in the loss. Kirk Cousins in his first start replacing injured RG III tossed 427 yards for three touchdowns. Redskins' run stop unit held Eagles to 54 rushing yards on the day and reigning rushing champion LeSean McCoy to just 22 yards. A couple of interesting NFL betting trends. Giants have struggled cashing tickets vs a division opponent in September posting a 1-3-1 ATS while Redskins have thrived in the situation going 4-1 ATS last five, 6-2 ATS last eight. Giants have been poor bets last 13 away posting a 4-9 ATS mark and hit the field 2-5-1 ATS L8 on the road as underdogs of 3.5 or less. Redskins enter 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring more than 30 points and have a prefect 4-0 ATS stretch going in week-four. New York won and cover both meetings last year but remain a cash draining 3-5 ATS last eight encounters with Washington.

This has been a home team dominated series lately with the home team covering 5 of the last 7. Have to love the Sun Devils as a home underdog here.

NEWSLETTER NFL Football Prediction From Raphael Esparza

Take ‘Under’ 46.0 – NY Giants at Washington (8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 25)

I want to start a big weekend with a Thursday winner. I have a pair of 6-Unit football winners – one in college and one in the NFL – and I am 5-0 so far this season with my plays of 6.0 or higher. What are you waiting for? The public has already pushed this total up to 46 as the oddsmakers posted this game at 45. The public always bets key TV games over, but again I believe the public is wrong on this game. The Giants defense is not that bad, and last week the Giants held the Texans to 17 points. Washington at times shows that their D is improved, and if you throw away last weeks game you would think this game is a dead under. When these two teams meet the under has been money, going 0-5 O/U in their last 5 meetings. The Giants in their last 19 road games are 5-14 O/U, and the Redskins are 1-6 O/U at home against a team with a losing record.

2 STAR SELECTION – (102) Washington Redskins -3

(Risking $220 to win $200)
The Redskins offense suddenly has life with Kirk Cousins at quarterback taking over for an injured RGIII. Washington came up short last week, but I expect them to pick up the win this week. The Giants knocked off the Texans on Sunday in New York, but I don’t believe that they have fixed all of their issues. New York still made some key mistakes against Houston last week, but the Texans were not able to capitalize on those mistakes. The Texans were without running back Arian Foster which severely limits their offensive production. Without the threat of a running game you are counting on quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to win the game throwing the ball which is never a good thing. I also don’t expect the Giants to have the same success running the ball this week that they had on Sunday. The Redskins will be a bit thin in the secondary with the loss of DeAngelo Hall to injury, but Washington has greatly improved their run defense. If this becomes an aerial shootout, it will be just a matter of time before Eli throws one to the wrong team. Thursday night road teams have not fared well this season going 0-3 and losing those games be a combined score of 118-36. Lay the points with Washington.

Listed Pitchers: May vs. Scherzer
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.57 units)
We keep on moving along well in the month of September, securing another win on Tuesday as we're turning in some big profits lately. Back tonight with a play on the Tigers.
This is the biggest square play on the board, I know that. However, I really have no explanation for how the Tigers don't blow the Twins out in this game. Yes I know what you're thinking, the Tigers' bullpen. But even then, I think the lead should be out of hand before the bullpen has a chance to spoil it. This will be the third of fourth time I have faded May this season, or at least, taken an OVER with him pitching. It is easy to see why I have done it. May comes in with a 8.39 ERA tonight, pitching with a 8.55 on the road. His WHIP is also all out of whack at 1.89 and a OBP of .407. The last time the Tigers faced May, they got to him for 11 hits and 5 runs in only 5 innings. For his standards he's been fairly hot lately, posting a 6.89 ERA in his last three starts. Scherzer will counter May, who is having himself a good season, not great as last season, but still the kind of guy that can take over a game. He's pitched for a 3.19 ERA, including a 2.66 at home. Note that Scherzer is 10-1 at home. With the Tigers in the hunt for the Central, going head-to-head against the Royals, these are the types of games you need to bury the opponent. May vs. Scherzer is a matchup the Tigers need to exploit here, and I think they need. Take the Tigers to win by more than a run Thursday night at home.

Complimentary MLB Pick for September 25th, 2014

Game: Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox
Time: Thursday 09/25 7:10 PM Eastern
Pick: Boston +116 (moneyline) at Bovada

There is something about a team that is officially eliminated from the postseason. The Red Sox dealt the final blow last night in an 11-3 route of the Rays, officially putting their postseason aspirations to rest. The loss also assured that the Rays would finish under .500 for the first time since 2007. Tampa Bay has appeared to have lost their focus. The Rays' staff did not allow any team to score 10 runs or more since June 5th, but now have done so in two of their last three games. Jeremy Hellickson has now been winless over his last eight starts for the Rays, and has failed to make it out of the sixth inning in five of them. Allen Webster is doing himself well with an opportunity to be part of the Sox rotation next year. Webster has consecutive wins vs. a pair of playoff teams in Kansas City and Baltimore, limiting the Birds to 1 run in his last outing. The Rays are 0-8 in Hellickson's last eight starts, and it appears that the fire is no longer burning with this team. Play on Boston.

STATFOX FORECASTER

N.Y. Giants (101) AT Washington (102)
Latest Line: Redskins -3.5; Total: 46

The Giants notched their first win of the season on Sunday, picking off Ryan Fitzpatrick three times on their way to a 30-17 home victory. The Redskins, meanwhile, lost in Philadelphia in a 37-34 shootout despite holding Philadelphia star running back LeSean McCoy to just 22 yards on 19 carries. The Redskins will again be led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, who threw for 427 yards against the Eagles. Since the start of last season, Washington is 4-1 ATS when Cousins has taken the majority of the snaps versus 3-10 ATS when Robert Griffin III has been at quarterback.

StatFox 6-Pack:
WASHINGTON is 5-17 ATS at home when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 25% to 40%) since 1992.
WASHINGTON is 12-28 ATS at home in the first month of the season since 1992.
WASHINGTON is 37-59 ATS as a home favorite since 1992.
NY GIANTS are 62-33 UNDER after having lost 2 out of their last 3 games since 1992.

ANTHONY MICHAEL (Play of the Day)

#101 New York Giants +3.5 (8:30 edt) CBS

The Giants have traditionally been a very strong road team in the NFL especially as a dog and especially in the division. They are starting to figure out their offense after really struggling in their first 2 games. The Redskins are trying to get by with RGIII on the sidelines and they are doing OK on offense but their defense was scorched by the Eagles last week. Look for a lower scoring close NFC East clash here. Take the G-Men and the points.

Free plays 9-2 tear w/ San Diego Chargers last Sunday and Marshall ‘OVER’ last Saturday.

Free pick tonight is 3* Appalachian State +17 1/2
I think this line is nuts. Appalachian State has defeated Georgia southern each of the last three years including 38-14 last year when Mountaineers had a 515-363 edge in total yards. From what I can tell examining box scores both this year and last, Appalachian State can run or pass while Georgia Southern relies almost exclusively on the ground with the triple option attack. Sure Appalachian State has to be demoralized after scoring a touchdown with six seconds left only to have the extra point blocked in a 21-20 loss at Southern Miss last Saturday. In that game App State had a 455-329 edge in total yards. The Mountaineers averages 212 yards a game on the ground and in the air. Talk about BALANCE! Both Teams are moving up into the Sun Belt conference. Ga Southern has played the more-difficult schedule with NC State and Georgia Tech. Then again the Eagles in those two games allowed 66 points and exactly 1,000 total yards. I’m not sure what to make of their near-upset at Georgia Tech. The Jackets were in control of that game with a 35-10 lead at halftime and then let up. Plus despite being 4-0 I’m not sold on the Jackets. I know Georgia Southern is 4-0 ATS this year but just 2-2 SU and I find it hard to fathom they can be -17.5 given the fact twice this year they were catching 20.5 and 15.5 plus were -1.5 at South Alabama. From what I’ve seen this year, Appalachian State could easily beat South Alabama so last week’s 28-6 win over the Jaguars was not a big deal. Grab the points!

STRIKE POINT SPORTS
8-Unit Play. Take #101 New York Giants (+3.5) over Washington (8:30 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 25)
The New York Giants are playing better football on both sides of the ball and it showed last weekend versus the Texans. Washington has looked better with Kirk Cousins at the helm but I just don’t see them winning this game. The Giants rushing attack has looked considerably better and I see that continuing Thursday. Washington has lost seven straight Divisions games, and that is against some teams that just aren’t that good, NY and Dallas last year. The Giants meanwhile have won six of their last eight meetings with Washington, including both last season. The Redskins defense is extremely banged up, and with the Giants starting to click, this will cause issues for Washington. Washington lost DeAngelo Hall and Duke Ihenacho last weekend, and they are both out for this game, and much longer. Brian Orapko is also hurt with a torn ligament in his hand, which will cause him to wear a hard cast. I know the Giants offense is nowhere near as daunting as Philadelphia’s, but with the secondary banged up and their linebackers hurt, the quick hitting Giants offense will give Washington trouble. This short week scares some people, but not me. The Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last six Thursday games. New York also is the type of team that when they get the running game going, they are tough to cover against. The Giants are 40-17-2 ATS in their last 59 games after accumulating over 150 yards rushing their previous game. Yes, the Skins have a dynamic passing attack, but Alfred Morris has struggled to just a 3.6 ypc average over the last two weekends. Washington is just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games versus the NFC East and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS win. This one will be close, but take the road dog here as the dog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings between the two teams, and they may just win this game outright.

Ben Burns' 10* Thursday NFL BEST BET! +$80K ALL RUN!

I'm playing on the GIANTS. While the Giants won last week to improve their record to 1-2, the Redskins lost (but covered) and now find themselves in the same place in the NFC East standings. I see the value as being on the dog in this one. Eli Manning is finally starting to look like Eli Manning again. He comes off his best game of the season, completing 21 of 28 passes against Houston for 234 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Most importantly, he didn't throw an interception. Manning was also supplemented with a nice running game, courtesy of Rashad Jennings going for 176 yards. While the Giants ended up winning by a final score of only 30-17, it wasn't even that close. They outgained Houston 262 to 83 in the 1st half. Again, perhaps the most important thing is that they won the turnover battle for the 1st time in a game this season. Everyone has been quick to jump on the Kirk Cousins bandwagon in Washington. But while the backup quarterback has put up some impressive stats so far, all he has to show for it is a win over the winless Jaguars. He has faced two bad defenses thus far as well. The home team has dominated Thursday night football so far, but under coach Tom Coughlin, New York is 3-1 ATS on TNF. Coughlin is also 11-8-1 ATS and 14-6 straight up vs. the Redskins in his time on the Giants sidelines. The Giants swept the Redskins last season. Both games came late in the year. While Washington was a bad team in 2013, I would be remiss if I didn't point out that Cousins started the second of the two games. He played very poorly, completing just 19 of 49 passes while also throwing two interceptions. Also important is pointing out that the underdog is on a 6-1 ATS run in this NFC East rivalry. 10* best bet.
