4 Unit Play. #61 Take Oklahoma State Cowboys over Texas Longhorns (Saturday 3:30 pm ABC) The Horns just keeping rolling along having beaten Oklahoma and Missouri by double-digits in consecutive weeks. Both of those wins needed high emotional efforts and I wonder if they can get up yet again. Now they face a Cowboys that is loose and high flying with an explosive offense and a much improved defense. Factor all that plus revenge after losing to Texas in Stillwater last year, 38-35. OK State also beat Missouri, but that came in Columbia. Both teams have yet to lose a game against the spread, so something has to give and this writer is going with the dog, call the upset here! OK State 38, Texas 35.

4 Unit Play. #76 Take Pittsburgh Panthers over Rutgers Scarlet Knights (Saturday 3:30 pm ESPN 360) This is just a case of two teams going in opposite directions. True, the Knights beat Connecticut last week; however, when I looked over the stats, the offense was not that impressive. Now they face a Panther team that has the most talented since Coach Wannstedt took over. The were shocked in the opener by Bowling Green, but since then it has been a success and now return home after three road games. This is a game they must win since the schedule gets much tougher in November. The Knights have a three game winning streak over Pittsburgh, but that ends here, as Pittsburgh starts to play to their potential and have a season everyone expects them to have. Pitt rolls! Pittsburgh 27, Rutgers 14.

BIG 12 GAME OF YEAR

6 Unit Play. #30 Take Nebraska Cornhuskers over Baylor Bear (Saturday 12:30 pm Versus) Big XII Game of the Year. Huskers still do not have a defense to brag about they seem to be getting better each week. As for the offense, they are much improved over the Bill Callahan years with more balance. Nebraska will be able to move the ball through the air considering the Bears terrible passing defense. Every team this year has stung them good including Northwestern State and Washington State, two of the worst teams in football. The Huskers have come off of two road games and now return home since that crushing loss to Missouri, 52-17. Coach Pelini apologized to the state for that performance and that loss is still in the player’s minds and expect an all-out effort on Saturday. Nebraska has played a brutal schedule and that has prepared them well to pound Baylor, as NU comes to play. Nebraska 48, Baylor 14.

double-dime bet131 Mississippi -5.0 (-110) Sportsbetting.com vs 132 Arkansas
Analysis:
Mississippi -5

Analysis: Look for Mississippi to cover this number in the Houston Nutt Bowl. Nutt will have his Ole Miss team more than ready returning to Arkansas, the school that fired him last year after 10 seasons in Fayetteville.

Nutt's Rebels are the more consistent and better team. They also have the better quarterback with Jevan Snead over Casey Dick.

Arkansas has been outscored, 87-21, in its two SEC home games this season. Mississippi was impressive in road conference games versus Florida and Alabama.

Arkansas has gotten better lately thanks to the running of Michael Smith. However, Smith suffered a concussion last week.

If he plays, his workload is going to be cut back. Ole Miss has a strong run defense, yielding just 3.2 yards per rush

triple-dime bet116 Indiana / 115 Northwestern Over 48.0 BetUS
Analysis: NCAAF: Northwestern Wildcats at Indiana Hoosiers - Over 48 -110 | Unit Value: 3 UNIT "Total Dominator)
Game Date: 10/25/2008
Note: Let's get this one now. These teams do not put their focus on defense and their numbers prove that. That is especially true of the Hoosiers who have allowed 31 points per game and have a run D just as bad as it gets. The Wildcats come into Bloomington as beat up on D as they have been this year. They have serious problems filling the gaps Saturday and they will face a Hoosier team that have a very balanced attack of run/pass. Even if these things were not the case this Saturday consider this. The last 8 Contests between these two have produced 51 Points or more. Most MUCH MORE. Teams that cannot stop the run leave themselves open to downfield passing, as the Linebackers have to over-commit to the possibility of the running game being used. Both of the QB's in this contest have proven that they can spread the field and we should see that Saturday. We should see some easy scores Saturday because of that. I have checked the longterm weather and the Bloomington area is expected to get some rain Friday and Friday nite. There is only a small chance of that happening gameday. A wet or not so perfect field can only help our chances of this one going OVER the total. For those of you that are getting in late, this line has moved to 49.5 at most books and is still a play at that level.

double-dime bet149 UCLA 17.0 (-110) Bodog vs 150 California
Analysis:
There's nobody better in the country in picking UCLA CBB/CFB games and I fully anticipate a great performance by the Bruins this week.



UCLA was up against it BIG TIME last week in pulling off a last minute drive against Stanford. The Cardinal wanted this game in a "major way" and head coach Jim Harbaugh was left stunned.



California is emotionally shattered after blowing a double-digit lead in the desert and now walks into its WORST ATS SITUATION - a double-digit favorite from mid-October on.



The Bears are 0-9 ATS in this situation the last three years and are also 0-8 ATS in their last eight games following a Pac-10 loss that saw them leading at halftime.



It will be UGLY - but the Bruins stay under the number here.

triple-dime bet145 Alabama -5.0 (-110) BetUS vs 146 Tennessee
Analysis:
Alabama head coach Nick Saban will have his troops in top form on Saturday night, as they go into Neyland Stadium and face the Tennessee Volunteers.



Tennessee has yet to show anything against an opponent that has outclassed them on the football field, as Florida absolutely demolished this team and Georgia failed to blow them out because of poor offensive execution.



That will not be the case, as Saban wants the Tide to roll into Baton Rouge in two weeks with a perfect 9-0 record and a possible #1 label on its back. Full focus will be on getting a big win here, as they face an absolute cupcake next week for Homecoming.



Tennessee's wins read like this: UAB, NIU and Mississippi State......Wow.....That's a far cry for Alabama's big neutral site and road wins against Clemson (Before their meltdown) and Georgia.



Alabama QB John Parker Wilson will have no trouble making plays against a Tennessee D that he completed 32 of 46 passes against for 363 yards and three touchdowns last year.



Lay the number and don't fall into the SEC home underdog trap - Saban's not happy about his team's last two performances and they blow out Tennessee on Saturday.

11:30:00 AM Oklahoma Sooners (-18)
over KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
ASA 3-Star #159 Oklahoma (-18) over @ Kansas State - Saturday, Oct 25th 11:30 am CST

The Sooner offense has to be licking their chops when it comes to facing this porous KSU defense. The Cats stop unit has been terrible this year allowing nearly 200 YPG rushing and 240 yards passing. Those numbers rank them 106th in the nation in total defense and those were against mainly suspect offenses. KSU’s schedule has been very light with the exception of games @ Louisville and home vs. Texas Tech. Their 38-29 loss @ Louisville was dominated by the Cards outgaining the Wildcats by 234 yards. KSU’s home game vs. Texas Tech was a 58-28 loss and they allowed the Red Raiders 626 total yards! Other than that, the offenses they have faced have been average to below. Now they attempt to slow down an Oklahoma offense that averages nearly 50 PPG and ranks 4th nationally in yardage per game. Good luck with that. Last week the Sooners faced a pretty good Kansas defense and rolled up 674 yards. They were a bit flat coming off their showdown (and a loss) vs. Texas and still put up 45 points. Their defense was also flat and uncharacteristically allowed 35 points to a very good Kansas offense. That won’t happen this week vs. a KSU team that is one-dimensional on offense. The Cats can’t run the ball being out gained on the ground in 4 of their last 5 games. While KSU QB Josh Freeman is good, he won’t be able to do it all here vs. an angry OU defense that will want to make amends for last Saturday’s underachieving performance. The Sooners don’t mind the road at all where they are 23-6 SU their last 29. They are so good on offense and KSU is so bad on defense, we wouldn’t be surprised at all if OU doesn’t have to punt once in this game. The Sooners can score whatever they would like here and we look for them to get into the 50’s as they usually do. Kansas State won’t be able to keep up and Freeman will be forced into making tough throws to try and bring his team back resulting in turnovers. OU pulls away big time in the second half and wins easily getting the cover.

12:00:00 PM ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS (-2)
over Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
ASA 4-Star #110 Army (-2) over Louisiana Tech, Saturday 12:00 pm CST, October 25th

Don’t look now but they always hard trying Cadets of Army are playing really solid football. After looking like a deer in headlights at the beginning of the season trying to run their new option offense, they now have it nearly perfected and it has showed on the field. It really started to click for this team during their trip to Texas A&M back on September 27th. They lost that game 21-17 but out gained the Aggies on their own turf racking up 280 yards rushing. Including that loss, Army is now 2-2 with their losses coming at A&M and at Buffalo in overtime. During that four game stretch where their option attack has really taken off, they rolled up 1,232 yards on 5.5 yards per carry. Army out rushed those four opponents by a combined 789 yards! This will be a tough trip for La. Tech. They are in the middle of their WAC schedule and getting up for a trip to play Army won’t be easy. Not only that, they are facing an offense that they NEVER see in the WAC. The high flying arial attacks in that conference are obviously nothing like the option attack they will face on Saturday. They have just one week to get ready for that offense which makes it tough, especially being a somewhat meaningless non-conference road game. The overall numbers say that Louisiana Tech has a solid run defense but we say otherwise. First of all, they haven’t played a really good running offense all season long. As we stated, the WAC is a pass happy league which often will make the defensive rush numbers look much better than they are. Army currently ranks 8th nationally in rushing at 253 YPG but as you saw earlier in our analysis, a majority of those numbers have come in the last four games so we actually have them higher than that right now. The best running offense that La. Tech has seen so far this year is Boise State and they average 142 YPG. The Bulldogs have thrown up a zippo on the road this year (0-3 SU, 0-3 ATS) getting beat by an average score of 30-6. They have Fresno State on deck which is a very important conference game. We simply don’t see them making this trip and being all that interested in this game. Army always gives 100% effort and they are playing much very well as of late. This all adds up to an Army win at home.


10/25/2008
2:30:00 PM GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS (-14)
over Virginia Cavaliers
ASA 5-Star #154 @Georgia Tech (-14) vs. Virginia Saturday, Oct 25 2:30 pm CST

We were on Virginia as a big play at home last weekend, however we’re going to do a 180 and play against them on Saturday. The Cavs have been on a nice roll winning three straight games after a rough start, however all of those games have been in the friendly confines of their home stadium. Now they must venture out on the road for the first time since September 27th! Not only that, they are coming off an overtime win vs. big time rival North Carolina. This week will be tough for UVA. The Cavaliers two road games this year were both blowout losses. They were destroyed at UConn 45-10 and were whipped at down trodden Duke 31-3. Inexperienced starting QB Marc Verica will be making just the third road start of his career. He has thrown 5 interceptions in his first two starts away from home. While he has started to come around and play well at home, we expect a struggle on Saturday. The Cavs have been out gained in their two road games by 810 to 477 total yards. Last week in their win over UNC, the Virginia threw up a red flag so to speak for this week’s contest against the Yellow Jackets. That’s because the Heels, who have an average running game, exploited the UVA defense for 166 yards on the ground. They now allow nearly 150 YPG on the ground and 4 YPC. That’s NOT where you want to struggle on defense when playing Georgia Tech. The Jackets have the 9th best rushing attack in the nation rolling up 248 YPG on the ground. Not only that, they have one of the best defenses in the country allowing their opponents only 254 total yards per game (5th in the nation). Despite being 6-1 on the season, this Tech team is REALLY flying under the radar. Their only loss was @ Virginia Tech where they were tripped up 20-17. In that game, however, the Jackets actually dominated out gained the Hokies by 140 yards. They had 278 yards rushing in that game against one of the better stop units in the country. The bumble bees should have a field day against UVA this weekend. This ACC battle has definitely gone the way of the home team. The host has now covered 11 of the last 13 in this series. We really like the “play against” situation with Virginia especially vs. the under rated Georgia Tech team. Lay the points.


10/25/2008
6:00:00 PM Mississippi Rebels (-6.5)
over ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS
ASA 3-Star #131 Mississippi (-6.5) @ Arkansas Saturday, October 25 – 6:00 PM CST

The last few years, Ole Miss was an afterthought opponent for the top SEC talent; however, Houston Nutt has transformed the Rebels into a legitimate opponent to any SEC team, and is proving that they shouldn’t be overlooked. Earlier this season, Ole Miss marched into the unfriendly confines of Florida and beat the Gators 31-30. Since then, they have played two tough games against South Carolina and Alabama, and have come up short twice. I can’t overstate the fact that Nutt has his players motivated and playing hard every week, and this week will be more important than ever, as Nutt will be facing his former team and Alma-Mater, Arkansas. Expect Ole Miss to get the win on the road here against the Razorbacks. Arkansas is really hurting from the loss of last years playmakers on offense (McFadden, Jones, Monk), and while RB Michael Smith is having a solid season, there is little talent around him. The Razorbacks rank 100th in the NCAA in points scored this season, averaging just 19 points per game. Their defense has been just as bad, ranking 109th, giving up 33 points per game. The Rebels also have a big advantage at quarterback, where Jevan Snead is having a breakout year for Ole Miss, and Razorback QB Casey Dick continues to struggle. The Rebels are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings vs. Arkansas; however, those 4 Razorback wins were under coach Houston Nutt. Now, it’s Ole Miss who has the upper-hand, they are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games, and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 overall; while Arkansas is headed the opposite direction, going just 2-5 ATS in their last 7. Arkansas will see how the Rebels players respond the Nutt’s coaching and wish they never would’ve let their old coach go. Go with the Rebels with the points.

*** NCAAFB 3* BEST BET ***



*** Guys, I am aware of the line-move on Thursday that made this now +5.5 at most shops...as I advised in today's thread...for those who didn't have access to getting down Wed Morning when I uploaded the play, or even last night when it was still 6.5 and better...I suggest you hold off until game-day because as explained in the thread...the threat of a "buy back" is definately there, and the public money on game-day should also drive this number back up at least to 6...barring any injury, suspension, or weather reasoning behind the "steam"...I will make sure to continue tracking the number and gathering what info I can, and also make sure that I pass along my suggestions...both here and in the forums...VR ***



This is also going to be my Pod-Cast Play for the Week...and I wanted to make sure that I first Upload it for my Subscribers, so that you are able to go out and get the best number possible, because I have been informed that this will most likely receive another "Buy Order" from the outfits, which may even force the books to take it down to 6.5...even though they definately expect the betting public to come in one-sided on Miami O on Saturday...

I went ahead and made this a 3* Best Bet because it definately warrents it, and since we are getting what should be the best number (barring any late developments due to injury), and can always come back and lay 1* the other way and possibly nail ourselves a middle...VR

triple-dime bet115 Northwestern -7.5 (-110) Bodog vs 116 Indiana
Analysis: 12:00pm ET / #115 / Northwestern Wildcats @ Indiana Hoosiers
3*** BEST BET on: NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS

Looks like SU and ATS loss #6 in a row will be the outcome for the home Hoosiers after Saturday's game. Indiana comes in with a 0-5 SU and ATS record in their last 5 games. And their weakness (pass defense) plays right into the hands of Northwestern's strength (pass offense / 308 yards last week vs Purdue). Not only is Indiana losing a ton of games and allowing a lot of points, but their ATS margins are plain disgusting. Last two losses have been by ATS margins of -26 points and -30 points. Meanwhile, the Wildcats did a great job last week after they lost their first game of the year to Michigan State the week before. They rebounded off that tough loss with their best conference win of the year... beating Purdue by a score of 48-26 as favs of only -3.5 points.

Both teams qualify in fantastic Systems based on their last few games. For Northwestern it's a System which has gone an amazing 29-1 ATS.

During their current losing streak, the average score in Hoosier games is 40-15. No reason to think any different on Saturday at high noon. Particularly when we have such great ATS 'ammo' on our side.
35-11 ATS in the last 5 years for ALL College Football road favorites of -12 < points when playing off a SU conference home favorite win of 21 or more points. These teams have gone 12-2 ATS in the last 12 months. And if these road favorites are playing "INTO" Revenge (like Northwestern is), the results are an amazing 29-1-1 ATS in that same 5-year time span.

You do NOT want to playing on conference teams that are struggling big time. We can go back to the start of this season, or we can go back 5 years. Either way, it's 'Play AGAINST' time.
1-7 ATS so far THIS season: ALL conference home dogs who are of 3 straight SU and ATS losses in a row (Play against INDIANA, WISCONSIN, SAN DIEGO STATE, and MICHIGAN).

11-22 ATS in the last 4 years: Conference home dogs of < 10 points off BBB SU and ATS losses. Bring in a pitiful team that's actually off 4 or more SU and ATS losses in a row (like the Hoosiers and the Badgers), and the results are a PERFECT 0-6 ATS in the last 5 years.

double-dime bet138 Vanderbilt / 137 Duke Over 40.5 BetUS
Analysis:
Duke-Vanderbilt Over 40.5

Analysis: I see Vanderbilt scoring more points than the oddsmaker is giving the Commodores credit for in this matchup.

Vanderbilt has gone against a number of tough defenses in the SEC, which has skewed its statistics. The Commodores are ground-oriented and Duke ranks 81st in run defense. I'm not impressed with the Blue Devils' defense. It's very suspect.

Duke, though, should be loose for this non-conference matchup. The Blue Devils are 8-2 'over' in their last 10 non-league contests. Duke's first-year coach David Cutcliffe has a sharp offensive mind.

triple-dime bet151 Kent St. 5.5 (-110) Bodog vs 152 Miami (Ohio)
Analysis:
Kent State +5.5

Analysis: Kent State leads the MAC in rushing. The Golden Flashes are averaging 209 yards in their last three games - and that was without star running back Eugene Jarvis.

Kent was idle last week. The extra time has allowed Jarvis to get fully healthy from an ankle injury. He rushed for 230 yards against Miami of Ohio last year. Coming into this season, he was the nation's leading returning rusher.

The Bobcats have bee plagued by turnovers. They have committed the most turnovers in the MAC with 17. They also have failed to cover in their last five home contests and are 0-4 against the spread following a straight-up victory. Since 2006, Miami of Ohio is 0-8 in a favorite's role.

The Bobcats' offense is nothing to write home about. Kent's defense can hand it, while Jarvis and the rushing attack puts the Flashes in great shape to pull the outright upset victory.

Oklahoma St. +13.5 vs Texas

Few would have thought coming into the season that this particular matchup would be of such importance to not only the Big 12 race, but the National Championship hunt as well. And while Oklahoma State is just 1-13 SU in Austin and 2-20 SU all-time vs. the Longhorns (1-11 in Big 12 play), it's not like the Cowboys haven't had their fair share of opportunities through the years, regardless if the game was in Austin or Stillwater! In 2004, they led Texas, at home, 35-7 before allowing the Longhorns to score the game's final 49 points. The following year in Austin, they led 28-9 before allowing UT to score the game's final 38 points. Last year, they led 35-14 and allowed them to score the games final 24 points. Hey, at least those numbers are coming down! Yes, Texas has looked incredibly impressive over the last two weeks in handling both preseason top 10's, Oklahoma and Missouri, but what that does is cause an overlay here. The Cowboys, not only covered, but won outright at Missouri with a similar number. Like Texas, they are unbeaten both SU and ATS. This very well could be Mack Brown's team's most difficult challenge of the year and it's the 3rd consecutive week they are being asked to play at peak performance. OSU showed us a lot in avoiding a letdown in a 34-6 thrashing of a talented Baylor team last week and Mike Gundy's team is playing with supreme confidence feeling they can win this game outright. For all of its silliness and "You Tube infamy," the Gundy rant from a year ago (you know the one) did wonders for the program as it ran off inconsistent QB Bobby Reid, opening the door for Zac Robinson, who set a school record for total offense last year and now leads a very balanced attack that can give the Texas D fits. The OSU defense is also much improved from a year ago as the average PPG allowed is down from 29.5 to 20.6. Much closer than the experts think. Oklahoma State is our Big 12 Game of the Year.


Wake Forest +3 vs Miami

Double-Dime Bet

Last week's results set us up beautifully here. Wake Forest is nowhere near as bad as their 26-0 loss to Maryland would seem to indicate. Miami is nowhere near as good as an 18-point road win (at lowly Duke) would seem to indicate. Now, we are getting the better team and more importantly the better coach at the underdog price. We mentioned this two weeks ago in our analysis of the Deacons game with Clemson, but they are a team that excels in the underdog role. Over the last three seasons, Wake has cashed 13 of 17 times when getting points. Sure enough, they are also 6-0 ATS coming off their last six SU losses. The Hurricanes were brought into the ACC to allegedly increase the conference's pedigree, but all they've done is go a mediocre 17-18 SU since joining, including 6-13 SU L19. Even more frightening for Randy Shannon is the fact that his Canes are 1-5 SU/0-6 ATS in Coral Gables vs. conference opponents during his tenure - and they were FAVORED in all of those games! That includes a 41-39 loss to Florida State three weeks ago that wasn't nearly that close. Miami actually trailed 31-10 in the 3rd Quarter in that game. Look for Wake to be eager to erase an ugly series history with the Hurricanes that has seen them lose four straight, including the last 2 in ACC play by a combined 99-24 margin (were outgained by 532 yds!). However, all that, like the glory days of the Miami program, is ancient history. Take Wake Forest.


Minnesota +1 vs Purdue

Double-Dime Bet

It is sad to see Joe Tiller's 12-year tenure at Purdue come to such a sorry and pathetic end, but the reality is we can't stop going against the Boilermakers now. They were badly outclassed in our winning ticket on Northwestern last week and now they get a Minnesota team that will bring its 'A' game off a week of rest. The Gophers certainly have a lot of reason to come in fired up - they actually placed #24 in the initial BCS rankings! Also, they are just 1-8 vs. Tiller and have not won here in West Lafayette since 1990. And while Purdue has never scored less than 27 points vs. Minnesota under Tiller, they have certainly given up plenty of yards to the Gophers in some of those games, including 469 in LY's meeting (45-31 Purdue win). QB Adam Weber and WR Eric Decker (59 catches, 5 TD's) can have their way with a weak Purdue secondary. The job Tim Brewster is doing this year in Minnesota is pretty remarkable. Last year's team went 1-11 SU, losing its last 10 games overall including a winless Big Ten campaign, but they come into this year's game at 6-1 SU and have covered five straight. They even won at Illinois, who was in the Rose Bowl last year! One more win and they are bowl eligible. Taking Minnesota as a near pick at Purdue was an unthinkable thought even last year, but that is exactly what we are going to do here. Take Minnesota.

Ball St. -23.5 vs E. Michigan

Double-Dime Bet

In our most recent "School Is Back In Session" Article, we noted that DD favorites off a week of rest playing a team that is not off a week of rest are 10-2 ATS the last three Saturdays. That gives us a good starting point here. Some will be scared off by this large number, but we're braver than that. Quite literally, you can expect Ball State to run away with this one. Over the last two weeks, the Eastern Michigan rush defense has been abysmal in allowing 680 yards on the ground at 6.7 YPC. Here, they face a Cardinals team that is not only rested (while they are not), but is also rushing on average for 195 yards per game on the season. Three of Eastern Michigan's September opponents ran the ball for over five yards per pop. BSU is averaging right around that mark themselves for the year. Then we have the fact that this will be unbeaten BSU's first game in Muncie in almost a month and they return not only unbeaten SU, but ATS as well. Normally, we would go against a team that is unbeaten against the number at this point of the season, but as we proved in LW's 25* AFC Game of the Year WINNER on Tennessee, you have to wait for the right spot and team to do that. Eastern Michigan is not that team. Remember, in the BCS chase, style points do count for non-BCS conference schools as they must finish in the Top 12. Look for BSU to run up the score against an Eagles team they've already beaten by an average of 20 PPG the last two meetings. LY, EMU was outgained by a season worst 197 yards by Ball St. This year's Cardinals team is better. Take Ball State.

College Blowout Game Of The Year

100 Units

TCU (-30 ½) over Wyoming

Prediction: TCU by 55-60

Starting Time: 6:00

TV: MTN

Weather in Fort Worth: Clear, 75 degrees, 28% relative humidity and no wind.

Comments: For openers, I grade college games with a 47-step process and TCU (6-1) grades out on top in all 47—something almost unheard of—and it is meeting what appears to be the worst Wyoming (2-5) squad in years. TCU got its starting quarterback back from the injury list last week and absolutely destroyed nationally ranked BYU, 32-7. After watching TCU dismantle and run over BYU with its speed and quickness, I do not believe there is any way Wyoming can even keep it close and would be willing to bet the visiting Cowboys will not score a single point. TCU has the top-ranked defense in NCAA I-A, giving up just 218.7 yards per game, including just 20 yards a game rushing. If there were not impressive enough, the Horned Frogs also lead the NCAA in sacks with 33. It is just difficult to figure out a way Wyoming, which averages just 9.0 points and 256 yards on offense will stay in the game working against a defense of that quality. TCU gives up just 10.9 points per game has absolutely dominated every team it has played except Oklahoma to which it lost, 35-10. This is a classic contest of strength against weakness and TCU should have the cover by half-time.







Kelso also has a smaller play on Alabama. Here is that write up.

15 Units

Alabama (-5 ½) over TENNESSEE

Prediction: Alabama by 14-17

Starting Time: 7:45

TV: ESPN

Weather in Knoxville: Partly cloudy, temperature of 55, relative humidity of 55 and wind out of the WNW at 7 miles per hour.

Comments: This is for Alabama a grudge-game without end. It is the firm belief of the Crimson Tide athletic department and the citizens of Alabama that Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer was the person who turned the school into the NCAA for alleged rules violations. As one who scouted in the SEC for several years, I can assure you this grudge might die in about 100 years and it will be a motivating factor for the Tide as they roll into Knoxville, as if they needed any extra inspiration. Alabama (7-0). Tennessee (3-4) has no offense and has seen its season blow up because of it. Oh, yes, Alabama is ranked second in the BCS standings and has no intention of blowing that by getting beat in this spot.

OKLAHOMA ST. +12.5
The Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns put perfectly identical 7-0 records on the line, in this big time Big 12 battle this Saturday. Everyone in the media and his dog, is absolutely in love with the Longhorns and their star QB Colt McCoy, which sets up well for the biggest let down situation and upset of the year . Remember when , Texas came in against Oklahoma as underdog and upset them 45-35 . The pundits and linesmakers for the most part thought that the Sooners were the superior team. I myself thought , OU was over rated, and I was right. Do not get me wrong Texas was impressive in that game, and what was even more impressive was HC Mack Browns ability to keep his teams emotional adrenalin pumping right into the Missouri game delivering a 56-31 pounding of a Missouri Tigers team that had a one dimensional pass attack.

I thought the Longhorns would be in an emotional letdown situation, last week, after their big win against Oky. They instead came out strong against Missouri, but seemed to start running low on fuel in the 2nd half of that game, and I'm betting they run out of gas completely before this current game ends. Three straight games, against this type of competition, will take a great deal of needed energy out of any team and unfortunately for the Longhorns that is the situation they find themselves in.

Oklahoma State has come a long way, over the last few years, and are in my opinion the most under rated team in the country, and are a dark horse national championship contender. I think most pundits are still having a hard time, believing Oklahoma State can be on the same level as a big name program like Texas or USC . You can call me crazy, but this Cowboys team behind one of the nation's premier offenses has the ability to move the chains, against any opponent in this nation. OSU unlike Missouri or even Oklahoma owns the best ground attack in the nation, behind the legs of Kendall Hunter( 9TDs) . I know the Cowboys are ranked at fifth in the country in rushing at 283.1 yards per game, but in my opinion are better than their current ranking, as their 24 Tds illustrates. The best part about the Oklahoma State offense, is that the passing game is equally as dangerous , averaging 218.3 yards per game, with Zac Robinson (70.1 %,1,488 Yds,14 TD ) under center. This lethal ground and aerial attack combines to put an average of 46.4 ppg on the board. Needless to say, they will be able to run and gun with their opponents today, in what will be a back forth slugfest. The deciding factor will come, down to which team is fresher and has the most stamina. OSU after what I can best describe as an easy 34-6 winning scrimmage against Baylor last week, is hands down the pick.

Final notes & Key Trends: Texas is 10-20 ATS off a home win against a conference rival . Oklahoma State in a game with a total of 63 or higher(11 games), have seen their margin of victory ring in at SU by an average 7.9 PPG.

Triple - Dime Bet

Pittsburgh / Rutgers Under 43.5

The Pittsburgh Panthers are coming off season highs in yards (499) and points (42) last week against Navy, but it's important to consider the opponent. The Middies totaled a season-low 57 passing yards and simply could not stop Pitt on the ground or through the air. The Panthers rank second in the Big East in total defense - allowing just 287 yards per game - and they will be facing a Rutgers defense that is tied for fourth in the conference with 12 sacks and ranks second in pass defense at 176.6 yards per game. That leads me to believe that Pitt will look to control this game by running the ball and the clock while the Scarlet Knights will continue their struggles offensively. Rutgers is averaging just 13 points in Big East play and has held the Panthers to an average of 13 points in winning the last two meetings. The UNDER has cashed in all three conference games for the Scarlet Knights so far this season as well, and I see no reason why that trend will not continue here. With a 60% chance of rain also predicted for Saturday in Pittsburgh, I think we can definitely expect another low-scoring game. The Panthers have also seen the UNDER cash in nine of their last 12 games overall. Bet the UNDER to cash for them again as my Triple Dime Big East Total Play O' the Year


Wake Forest +3 vs Miami

Double - Dime Bet

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have not failed to cover back-to-back games in the same season since the first two games of the 2006 campaign. Meanwhile, the Miami Hurricanes are 0-3 against the spread at home this season and have gone 12-31-1 ATS in their last 44 games there. Is Miami really favored in this game based on an 18-point win at Duke last Saturday? Is Wake Forest really an underdog in this spot based solely on a 26-0 loss at Maryland a week ago? Yes and yes. The Demon Deacons would be favored by a field goal had they beaten the Terrapins or least hung tough in that game, and they should win this game at Miami with outstanding defense. They have not surrendered more than 13 points in consecutive games this season and will limit the 'Canes off that monster offensive performance against an inferior opponent. Bet Wake Forest as my Double Dime NCAA Underdog Play O' the Week.


BYU -23 vs UNLV

The BYU Cougars are coming off a very disappointing loss at TCU on October 16th but should be primed to bounce back and take out their frustrations against a UNLV team surrendering an average of over 250 passing yards and 34 points per game on the road this year. The Rebels have been absolutely abysmal away from home outside of a stunning 23-20 overtime win at Arizona State back on September 13th, going 5-17-2 ATS in their last 24 road games. Meanwhile, BYU is 10-4-1 ATS in its last 15 home games and crushed UNLV 52-7 in the last meeting at Provo two years ago. The Rebels have surrendered more than 500 total yards in three straight games and will get buried in this tough spot. That's why I'm backing BYU as my Single Dime NCAA Big Chalk Play O' the Day.

The Kansas Jayhawks will be looking to knock Texas Tech from the unbeaten ranks.

Kansas has been very tough at home this season winning all four games by an average of almost 29 points per game. The Jayhawks have covered their last three games against the Red Raiders. The Red Raiders are 0-4 ATS after amassing more than 450 yards in the previous game. The Jayhawks are 5-0 ATS against teams with a winning record.

Nevada at Hawaii
Play: Nevada -3 5 units

The Nevada Wolfpack offense will be too much to handle for the Hawaii Rainbows. Nevada is running the ball for 304 yards per game while passing the ball for 214 yards per game. Over the last three games, Hawaii has struggled to stop the run giving up 209 yards per game. Nevada will have revenge on their minds after Hawaii beat them 28-26 in Reno. Hawaii is not the same teams with June Jones no longer the head coach and will not be able to keep up with the Wolfpack.

Mississippi-6.5 vs Arkansas

The Mississippi Rebel (3-4; 1-2) travel to the Arkansas Razorback (3-4; 2-2) in a Saturday evening game.The Rebels have RB Dexter McCluster who has been erradick and plagued by turnovers. He has great abilities to move the offense and has to show on the field Saturday. The Rebels defensive front has been great against the run and has to make the Razorback abandon the running game to help them win this game. The Razorbacks have to maintain an offensive balance and has to be effective throwing the ball. RB Michael Smith had a standout game against Kentucky last week rushing for 192 yars and two touchdowns. The defensive has been lackluster as they allowed Kentucky to come back from a 20-7 deficit and beat the Razorbacks 21-20.The Rebels are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games on grass; 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games; and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.The Razorbacks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

I like the Rebels to win by a good margin as we suggest giving the points and taking the Rebels on the road.


Hawaii +3.5 vs Nevada

The Nevada Wofpack (4-3; 2-1) travel to the islands to visit the Hawaii Rainbows (3-4; 2-1) in a WAC conference game. The Rainbows are double tough at Aloha Stadium and will pose a problem to the Wolfpack.The high scoring Wolfpack have scored at least 45 points for the fourth straight game with a 44-17 defeat of Utah State last week. QB Colin Kaepernick threw for a touchdown and ran for two more as they stomped the Aggies at home. He was 1020 for 197 yards with one interception. The Warriors lost to Boise State on the road by a 27-7 score. QB Inoke Funaki was 17-34 for 188 yards and 5 interceptions.The Wolf Pack are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win. The Warries are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in October and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 conference games.

We like the Warriors getting the points at home.


Georgia Tech -14.5 vs Virginia

Two ACC teams that are playing well meet in a Saturday Afternoon Tilt. The Virgina Cavaliers (4-3; 3-1) meet the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (6-1; 3-1) in an ACC dog fight.After a stumbling start, Virginia has become a factor in the ACC race by winning three straight includinga 16-13 overtime win over North Carolina last Saturday.Georgia Tech beat Clemson 21-17 last week to jump into the top 25 and are on top of the ACC. Their defense ranks in the top 10 in the country in eight separate categories and rank fifth in the nation in scoring defense at 11.6 ppg.The Cavaliers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games while the Yellow Jackets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 conference games and 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games overall.

We like the the Yellow Jackets at home to explode and win convincingly. Give the points and take the Jackets at home.

Bowling Green @ Northern Illinois
PICK: Bowling Green +8

Bowling Green let another game slip away in the fourth quarter last week, allowing a late touchdown drive to Miami-Ohio as the Red Hawks earned their first win of the year against FBS competition. The loss marked the second time in three weeks that the Falcons defense couldn’t get a stop when it mattered most. Of course, the seven and three point losses would both be good enough to cover this pointspread. And there are plenty of reasons to expect a better effort from Bowling Green on both sides of the football this time around.

Bowling Green head coach Gregg Brandon, following last week’s loss: “There’s a lot of football left and these kids are capable of winning games if we become a consistent team and take no stupid penalties.” Let’s not forget that BG returned 17 starters from last year’s eight win bowl bound team. Despite suffering two MAC losses already, the Falcons are still very much in contention for the MAC East title, thanks to their win at MAC East leading Akron two weeks ago. With a 3-1 SU record on the road this year (6-1 dating back to last year), hostile environments haven’t been so hostile for this veteran squad.

And we’ve got a couple of pertinent quotes from the BG defense indicating that they expect a better showing this time around. Senior linebacker John Haneline following the loss to Miami-O: “It’s probably the most frustrating game I’ve played in, in my career. To be honest with you, it’s just disgusting to me.” Senior defensive end Adrian Baker: “When our team is playing together and we take care of those (little) things, we can’t be stopped.”

Had this game been played in Week 1, Bowling Green would have been the road favorite, not an underdog of more than a touchdown. It’s certainly not like the Huskies are an unbeatable foe; a 2-10 team from last year with a redshirt frosh QB making only his third career start this week. And let’s not forget the Huskies head coach Jerry Kill and his staff visited Bowling Green to view the Falcons spread offense during his tenure at Southern Illinois. Many of the things he learned on that trip were incorporated into the Huskies attack this year, giving Bowling Green a solid level of familiarity with the offense that they are going to face on Saturday.2* Take Bowling Green.

USC vs. Arizona
Pick: USC -15

There talking big in Arizona about this being a program game, but there is one problem with that. This game is bigger for USC after Arizona beat Cal last week. This now becomes the biggest game left on the USC schedule and don't think that will slip by Pete Carroll. Beating the WSU's of the world by 69 is nice but a win over a proven quality team like Arizona is what is necessary to keep the Trojans in the Nationa Title hunt. Remember that teams like Florida, LSU, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St. all have huge games left on their schedule to help build their resume if they end up with one loss. Every one of those teams could still win their conference championship and huge BCS points while USC is sitting at home.I really love this game, but my love for it would increase if the Buckeyes have a 10-14 lead on Penn St. when this game kicks off because that means Ohio St. would go 11-1 this year with their lone loss being a blowout at USC and those BCS points would be huge. One final factor for me on this game is that USC has underachieved in their previous performances against the Wildcats and Carroll will us that as motivation as his defense dominates on the way to a 38-13 win!

Look for the Ramblin' Wreck to run over the Virginia run defense.

G Tech has the 5th best scoring DF in the nation just giving up a 11 pts per game! G Tech is also ranked in the TOp 10 in Red Zone DF. Yes...Virginia has had three impressive wins but this time they will come to earth against G. Tech. To put it simple Virginia does not match up well against G. Tech Yellow Jackets 31 Cavaliars 10

Texas has been good to me this year but I have no loyalty towards college football teams. Dont be surprised if this Cowboys team goes to Austin and throws a wrench in the college football world.
They can win this game trust me. They are that good and Texas is due for a letdown game having played Oklahoma and Missouri the last two weeks. If Okie State does lose they arent doing so by 13 points. Their offense is good enough to keep them in this one and their defense is good enough to slow Texas.
Take the points but dont be surprised if we see #1 again.

(BOUGHT BACK 1* on MIAMI O -4 -120 for a MIDDLE OPPORTUNITY)



*** Guys, I am aware of the line-move on Thursday that made this now +5.5 at most shops...as I advised in today's thread...for those who didn't have access to getting down Wed Morning when I uploaded the play, or even last night when it was still 6.5 and better...I suggest you hold off until game-day because as explained in the thread...the threat of a "buy back" is definately there, and the public money on game-day should also drive this number back up at least to 6...barring any injury, suspension, or weather reasoning behind the "steam"...I will make sure to continue tracking the number and gathering what info I can, and also make sure that I pass along my suggestions...both here and in the forums...VR ***



This is also going to be my Pod-Cast Play for the Week...and I wanted to make sure that I first Upload it for my Subscribers, so that you are able to go out and get the best number possible, because I have been informed that this will most likely receive another "Buy Order" from the outfits, which may even force the books to take it down to 6.5...even though they definately expect the betting public to come in one-sided on Miami O on Saturday...

I went ahead and made this a 3* Best Bet because it definately warrents it, and since we are getting what should be the best number (barring any late developments due to injury), and can always come back and lay 1* the other way and possibly nail ourselves a middle...VR

Bodog, as well as all the MGM/Mirage properties and a few of the locals I use all have this at 6...But I have seen a lot of off-shore books go to 5/5.5 due to the sharp money...Although the public money will continue to come in on Alabama, especially since this is the Night ESPN Match-Up...so you shouldn't have a problem getting 6, even if you are forced to BUY the HOOK...which I highly recommend...VR

[Mr. IWS]

Matt Fargo
TITLE: **9** #1 Pac 10 Play This Season (87.5%)**
REASON FOR PICK: **9** #1 Pac 10 Play This Season (87.5%)** Arizona St. is struggling both offensively and defensively. Ever since that overtime upset loss to UNLV, the Sun Devils have not been right and there is no evidence that they are going to suddenly turn it around. The offense has scored a total of 44 points over the last four games while the defense has allowed 102 points for an average scoring differential of 14.5 ppg. Arizona has been outgained in its last three games and even though the last two were on the road, a return home won’t matter.


The Ducks rebounded from that loss against USC by taking out UCLA in their last game prior to the bye week. The game against the Trojans was a complete disaster as Oregon was outgained by 359 yards and that marked the only game this season that the Ducks have been outgained. They have won both of their other road games against Purdue and Washington St. and while both of those teams are bad, the competition this Saturday is not that much better.



The quarterback situation has been a mess in Oregon this season with three signal callers playing the majority of the time due to injuries. It has not mattered however as the Ducks have been rolling with their running game and they once again have a big edge here. Based on my rushing efficiency rankings, Oregon is 3rd in the nation as it is averaging 275.1 ypg on 5.8 ypc while playing the nation’s 57th ranked schedule. Arizona St. is 37th in my rushing efficiency rankings, allowing 143.8 ypg and ranked 65th in national rankings.



On the other side, the Sun Devils rely heavily on the pass as they are ranked 117th in the country in rushing offense, averaging a mere 83.7 ypg on 2.8 ypc. Oregon is strong against the run on defense and while passing defense is the weakness, it makes sense why it is. Teams need to throw against the Ducks and that is why they are 108th in the nation in passing defense. That does improve to 83rd in passing efficiency defense which is a much better indication of the true abilities.



The Oregon defense will continue to work on different looks and ways of getting to Sun Devils quarterback Rudy Carpenter, who is expected back after missing the last game, and keeping the pressure on. Oregon leads the Pac 10 in sacks at 3.6 per contest. Defensive end Nick Reed has eight while fellow end Will Tukuafu has six and they rank 1st and 2nd respectively in the conference. Arizona St. is tied for 99th in the country in sacks allowed at 2.5 per game.



The Ducks, who normally open their practice up for part of the week, have had a closed practice all week. This is likely to not give any indication of who will be starting at quarterback as Justin Roper has been cleared to play and is at 100 percent. He is the passing threat while Jeremiah Masoli, who has filled in, is the better runner. The goal in this one is to keep that rushing attack moving along and that should not be a problem at all against the Sun Devils.



Arizona St. is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games against teams that average 4.8 or more ypc on offense. It is also 1-8 ATS in its last nine games against teams that allow 3.3 or fewer ypc on defense. This shows how bad the Sun Devils are when they cannot control the line of scrimmage. Arizona St. is 1-5 ATS in its last six home games which tells a lot of how this venue is not what it used to be. The Sun Devils have some revenge to play for after losing by 12 in Oregon last season but it won’t happen here. 9* Oregon Ducks

TITLE: Double Perfect 5* College Game!
REASON FOR PICK: Play On: Ohio State
Note: The Buckeyes look to redeem themselves and in the process move back into the BCS title game hunt when they play host to high-flying Penn State at the Horseshoe in Columbus this evening. It's been a storybook season for the Lions, who enter tonight's game 8-0 this year. A closer look at their schedule reveals the win-loss record of the lined teams they've faced this season to be just 14-30 combined. (FYI: OSU's lined opponent's are 24-20 combined.) To further complicate matters, Penn State has shown a tendency to struggle on the road against winning teams. That's confirmed by their 0-12 ATS mark as a road favorite off a SU and ATS win and cover of more than 4 points when taking on a greater than .500 opponent as they are 0-12 ATS in this roles since 1990. On the other side of the coin, Ohio State is 7-0 SU and ATS as as host in this series since Penn State entered the Big 10 conference. More importantly, the Buckeyes are 49-5 SU at home under Jim Tressel, including 27-1 when they are allowing less than 14 points per game on the season. From our database we discovered these two powerful angles... The first tells us to: Play On any conference home dog if they were a bowl team last season that allows less than 14 PPG whose offense rushes the ball for 148 or more YPG. These teams are 10-0 ATS since 1990. The clincher is an angle that tells us to: Play Against any undefeated Game Eight or greater road pick or favorite versus a .770 or great opponent if both teams scored more than 17 points in their last game. That's because these unbeaten teams feel the pressure in these games, going 0-14-1 ATS since 1980. Look for the Buckeyes to pull the rug out from under the Nittany Lions on their strong home field today. Ohio State is our 5* College Game of the Month selection.

We recommend a 5-unit play on Ohio State.

College Football
Northwestern -8 over Indiana
Indiana's season looked promising, but after a host of injuries and a big losing streak it looks as if they will come up empty handed yet again this season. Northwestern is playing great football on both sides of the ball. Take Northwestern.

Purdue +1 over Minnesota
Minnesota has a lot to look forward to with a new stadium opening and finally a bowl eligible season. Purdue has looked horrible in Joe Tillers last season, but they have one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Minnesota had a pretty soft schedule and you have to figure that today that senior QB Curtis Painter will bounce out of his slump and win on homecoming. Take Purdue.

Ohio State +2.5 over Penn State
OSU has struggled early this season with injuries, but this team showed a lot of character by bouncing back from them. Penn State really has yet to be tested this season which will make this a tough game if it is close. Penn State has lost their last ten road games against ranked teams and have covered every game this season. Look for Ohio State to get a much need home win to prove they are one of the best squads in the nation.

Wisconsin/Illinois Over 56
Illinois has a great offense, but cannot stop anybody on defense. This is a much needed win for the Badgers, but I don't think its possible unless the team starts to play better defense. Neither team will have an answer for each others offense. Look for a lot of fireworks in this game. Take the Over.

Kentucky +26 over Florida
Kentucky has not beaten Florida is many moons, but their defense has played strong this year and infact has not allowed another team to score over 24 pts on them in any given game this season. On offense I don't see Kentucky scoring much due to injuries, but again their defense should keep them in this game especially going against a Florida team that maybe looking ahead to Georgia next week. Take Kentucky.

Pick title: 2* Army -2 1/2
Pick Date: 10/25/2008
Pick description:
Oh so close to adding Army to the premium service. I keep thinking this is a very strange trip for Louisiana Tech to make in the midst of their WAC schedule. The Bulldogs are notoriously one of the worst road teams and this year is no different. They are 0-3 so far having been outscored 91-17. In their last four away from home the deficit is 160-34. Their record is 15-44 SU on the highway this decade. They never see the triple option attack that Army runs. The Cadets enter today having covered four straight and last week out-rushed Buffalo 320-41 o the road. They won their last home game over Eastern Michigan with a 341-117 edge on the ground. In their last four games, they’ve pounded opponents for 280 or more yards on the ground. This is the 3rd road game in four weeks for Louisiana Tech and check out the travel: At Boise State, at Hawaii, and now at West Point, NY. Talk about adding frequent flyer miles! Those games are a long way from Ruston, LA. The Bulldogs have covered just 13 of their last 50 road games. Note the Black Knights are 4-0 ATS since Coach Brock switched to running the option exclusively. You may be surprised to see Army #40 in overall defense. I know this handicapper was. A bad spot for the visitor and we back the Cadets here, despite the rare role of being favored.

triple-dime bet131 Mississippi -6.5 (-110) BetUS vs 132 Arkansas
Analysis: Stan is Betting MISSISSIPPI today. Stan believes this is the one game Coach Nutt has been waiting for all year as it was Arkansas who let him go. Arkansas surprised their last 2 opponents with good games but those teams didn't take them seriously. You can bet Mississippi will and Coach Nutt knows the Arkansas players and will know how to exploit their weaknesses. TAKE MISSISSIPPI as STAN'S SEC BIG BET OF THE YEAR and make them a TRIPLE DIME PLAY.

The Gators (5-1) have been slow to come to hand this season but showed in that 51-21 win over LSU two weeks ago that every piece of the puzzle is now in place. Florida has so many edges it would take a book to list them. In addition to this, the Gators come into the game off a bye and it’s homecoming in Gainesville—and that is something taken serious at this school.

Steven Budin-CEO SATURDAY'S PICK 25 DIME TWO-TEAM TEASER

NORTHERN ILLINOIS and ALABAMA

Using the standard six points you receive in a 2-Team Teaser, reduce the price you are laying with both favorites.

Northern Illinois, whose game against Bowling Green kicks off at 4:00 P.M. Eastern, is currently a 7 1/2-point home favorite. With the six-point teaser, you would make Northern Illinois a 1 1/2 point chalk (or perhaps a 2-point favorite if your original price was -8).

Alabama, whose game at Tennessee kicks off at 7:45 P.M. Eastern, is anywhere from a -5 to -6 point road favorite. With the six-point teaser, you would make Alabama a +1 point underdog or pick-em in the contest.

Saturday's Pick 25 Dime - Penn State

I could not have asked for a better scenario than what happened last Saturday with these two teams: Penn State found itself trailing 17-7 at halftime at home against a awful Michigan squad before getting it together and blowing out the Wolverines after intermission en route to a 46-17 win. Meanwhile, Ohio State traveled to East Lansing and absolutely destroyed a 6-1 Michigan State team 45-7. That blowout, combined with the first-half struggle for the Lions plus Penn State's inability to win in Columbus (0-7 SU & ATS since entering the Big Ten), has contributed to this line being so low.

I'm 2-0 with 25 dime college releases this season, so I'm obviously playing with my man's money entering this selection, but I've watched both these teams repeatedly this year and I think the oddsmakers have undervalued Penn State based on this series' past history.

Dig deeper into the Ohio State-Michigan State boxscore and you'll see it was another so-so performance by a Buckeye offense that has struggled all season. Sure, Beanie Wells ran for 140 yards on 31 carries and scored twice, but how many teams can win consistently with a run-pass ratio of 52-11 like Ohio State had against the Spartans? That's right, Terrelle Pryor completed 7-of-11 passes for 116 yards in addition to running the ball 12 times for another 72 yards. Don't get me wrong, those are impressive numbers for any quarterback, let alone a raw freshman, but don't mistake the fact that Ohio State's offense - which totaled only 332 yards - benefited tremendously from 5 Spartan turnovers.

In year's past, Penn State relied on its defense to win games because its offense was a vanilla as a plain milkshake. That's not the case any longer because what Pryor aspires to be - a dual threat quarterback capable of making the big play - is what the Lions already have in the underrated Darry Clark, who is coming off another stellar performance (18-for-31 passing for 171 yards; 9 carries for 45 yards) against Michigan. He's big, strong, not afraid to tuck the ball and run with it, and yet he's cool enough in the pocket - and mobile enough, too - to get the ball to Penn State's talented array of receivers. Plus, Clark has Evan Royster in the backfield, and he's coming off another monster game (18 carries, 174 yards vs. Michigan).

Penn State struggled early against Michigan, obviously coming off the the huge road win at Wisconsin the week prior with perhaps a collective cast forward to this game at the Horseshoe. But the defense clamped down on the Wolverines, holding them to 106 total yards in the final three quarters after allowing 185 in the first. Obviously, Ohio State presents a greater challenge, but one the Lions are ready to meet head on. Last week they snapped a nine-game losing streak to Michigan; this week then snap a seven-game skid in Columbus.
