Game: Minnesota at Wisconsin (Saturday 11/15 3:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Minnesota +13.5 (-110)

How the perception of these teams has changed. Minnesota was rolling along at 7-1, but then took a couple tumbles. Wisconsin had lost five of six, before finding the win column at feeble Indiana. But let's not overreact to recent history. Ask yourself what this line would have been a few weeks ago? The answer would have likely been 7 or less. So the teams haven't changed, but the perception of them surely has, and as a result this one is chock full of line value. The Badgers made a QB change, but it hasn't improved their ability to throw the ball as they remain a ru-only team. The fact is, the passing numbers have gotten worse! Allan Evridge was completing to a 7.2 yards per pass rate while Sherer is sitting at just 6.3, with an even lower completion rate. Minnesota is simply not two TD's worse than the Badgers right now, and this is a huge overlay. Minnesota has lost to one team by more than this amount all season, and it happened to be in their last game. I'm backing the dog.

ETHAN LAW

The parity in the ACC this season has created a muddled mess in the standings, it also has made every game an important one, and no fewer than 8 of the 12 teams still have realistic conference championship hopes. Entering the third week in November, that is just an unprecedented scenario, and the pressure mounts with each passing game. One very key match-up to help sort this mess out pits #17 ranked North Carolina (7-2 SU & 5-3 ATS) against Maryland (6-3 SU & 4-4 ATS). The Tar Heels enter this game 3-2 in ACC play, trailing the winner of the Miami/Va. Tech game Thursday by a half a game in the Coastal Division. Maryland is also 3-2 in conference play, and trails Wake Forest and Florida St by a half game each. Maryland has already beaten Wake and has another key game next week against the Seminoles, so they control their own fate towards getting in the ACC title game.

These 2 teams could not be entering this game off more divergent results last week. Maryland played on ESPN last Thursday night and were completely dominated by Va. Tech. They fell behind 20-3 early in the 2nd quarter of that game, rallied to within 20-13, but never had a realistic chance to win that game. The Hokies so dominated the line of scrimmage in that game that Maryland had a net rushing total of minus 12 yards in 18 carries! Maryland was much more successful through the air though as they completed 19 of 31 passes for 240 yards. They were dominated on the other side of the ball just as thoroughly, as the Hokies amassed 273 yards rushing at a 5.6 yards per carry clip. North Carolina meanwhile, comes in off an extremely impressive 28-7 win over then #22 ranked Georgia Tech last week. That win was impressive to most who just looked at the final score, further investigation into the box score reveals that score was indeed very deceiving. While Ga. Tech managed to score just 7 points in that game, they were hardly thwarted by the Carolina defense. They out gained the Tar Heels 423-314 in that game, and only lost because they constantly shot themselves in the foot with turnovers. Indeed, the Yellow Jackets had 326 yards rushing in that game, and gained that yardage at a 6.0 yard per carry clip! Not the kind of stat you often see from a team that only scored 7 points. The combination of that deceiving final score, and the Terrapins dismal showing on ESPN has created great line value because of the perception of these 2 teams right now. I have said repeatedly in my game analysis, that line value is the ultimate goal we look for when wagering on sports, and we definitely have tons of it here.

A statistical comparison of these 2 teams reveals very little difference, Maryland averages about 25 yards more per game offensively than Carolina, and allows about 20 yards per game more defensively. Maryland averages 16.8 first downs per game and Carolina averages 16.2. Maryland allows an average of 4.0 yards per rush and Carolina allows 3.8 yards per carry. I could go on and on, and you would see very little to choose from as far as how either one of these 2 teams is better than the other. The whole point of this exercise is to show that these teams match up very well, and are basically mirror images of each other. If these 2 teams are so evenly matched, then why exactly is North Carolina favored on the road? They are favored on the road for exactly the reasons I outlined above. Very opposite results in their last games have skewed the public's perception of these 2 teams, forcing Vegas to set a line reflecting that perception. A fair line between evenly matched teams normally places the home team as a 4 or 3.5 point favorite, here we have the road team favored by a FG, coming off a very impressive win. Line value established. How has Maryland one this season facing teams perceived as being better than they are? They are 3-1 ATS as dogs this season and are a perfect 5-0 SU at home, outscoring their opponents 153-82. 3 times this season the Terrapins have faced ranked teams, each time they came away with impressive SU wins as underdogs. Last time they were home dogs to Wake Forest and whitewashed them 26-0, out-gaining them 470-219! Before last week's results Maryland was ranked #23 and North Carolina was not ranked at all. Has one week changed these teams so much that the home team should be the dog here? An emphatic NO! Take the points!

Verdict: North Carolina 21, Maryland 28
PLAY 1* UNIT (2%) ON MARYLAND +3

Tom's College Football System Play of the Week!
CONFERENCE ROAD WELL TRAVELED

This week’s college system is one that took me by surprise. When I handicap games, I try and look for specific situations where I think a team will either rise or fall. In this particular set, I envisioned a team emotionally spent and on the verge of an upset loss. Not to my surprise, after some intensive research, the exact opposite came to be true.

Let me set the stage for you. In this scenario, we have a conference road favorite of -9’ or more coming off a SU and ATS conference road favorite victory. Without saying another word, the knee-jerk would be to fade that piece of road chalk thinking an encore performance, especially as a guest, wouldn’t be possible. That couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, if our conference road favorite is matched up against a greater than .200 foe that checks in off a straight up loss, this situation boasts an impressive 35-21 ATS record for 62.5 percent.

Common sense would lead us to believe that this road favorite would struggle. Thankfully, my powerful college database dismisses that way of thinking and puts us on the correct side.

Like all of my systems, there are certain tighteners that apply that make stronger sets. This one is no different. First, if we take all of the “Class A” teams out of the original 35-21 ATS system – those with a won/loss percentage greater than .900 – this technical situation improves to a sparkling 29-14 ATS for 67.4 percent. That actually makes perfect sense. Teams that carry a won/loss percentage greater than .900 are most likely overpriced. In this situation, we are able to remove a 6-7 ATS record by eliminating those teams.

If we take our 29-14 ATS set and bring their foe in off a straight up loss of 31 points or less, this college system zips to a powerful 26-8 ATS for 76.4 percent. After researching so many different technical situations, I’ve discovered that it’s usually a good thing to dismiss teams that enter off really big losses. Those teams tend to try a little harder coming off an embarrassing performance. Plus, the linemaker has probably over compensated for these teams coming off the blowout loss.

This weekend, there is one team that fits the general system and both tightereners – OHIO STATE! The Buckeyes looked fantastic in their win and cover at Northwestern last Saturday and travel to Illinois to take on an Illini team that lost by six in their last game versus Western Michigan!

Good luck with the Buckeyes and be sure to check back next week for another powerful system.

GREGG PRICE
ACC GAME OF MONTH

10* B.C. - Life isn't as bad without Matt Ryan as everyone though it would be. A win here gets them right into the ACC race. I think they have a lot of positive energy coming off a shut out win last week. Last year FSU went into #2 B.C. and beat them by 10. Now BC has the change to knock off FSU as a ranked opponent.




GREGG PRICE
SEC BLOWOUT

5* Florida - Is there really anyone playing better right now? Maybe Oklahoma. Florida has a real chip on their shoulder, and its showing week in and week out. Since losing by a point, they have been winning by a score of 48 to 11. Thats an average victory of 37. While I expect Spurrier to have his troops ready, especially defensively, I just don't see S.C. scoring much. I like Florida 37-10. I also think this line is a little high, Vegas is trying to get people to take S.C.

REVENGE GAME
Do you remember last year S. Florida was #2 and went into RU and lost? Well S. Florida does. I think Matt Grothe is going to have a monster game here.

JOHN RYAN
Ai Simulator 15* graded play on Auburn – AiS shows an 82% probability that Auburn will lose this game by 9 or fewer points and has a 52% probability of winning the game. Placing a 2* amount on the money is an exceptional and optional opportunity. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 38-10 ATS for 79% since 1997. Play against any team that is a good offensive team gaining 390 to 440 YPG and is now facing a poor offensive team gaining 280 to 330 YPG and after gaining 7.25 or more yards/play in their previous game. Needless to say Auburn has had a very disappointing season to date, but a win here would at least give them some reward for persevering through this hellish season. The running game is back for Auburn. Although it was against Tenn-Martin Auburn rushed the ball 50 times for 290 yards getting back to simple fundamentals. Georgia is still feeling the effects of the 49-10 massacre at home from the Gators. They barely defeated a poor Kentucky team last week and their defense has yielded towns of yards. Most of the yards allowed are not occurring on the ground. 188 at LSU, 185 versus Florida, and 226 on 56 attempts at Kentucky. Auburn will be very successful running the ball. Supporting the money line play is an exceptional system with a losing record that has gone 44-52, but has made 63.7 units in profits since 1997 with the average play +263. Play on home dogs versus the money line after failing to cover the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games and with a winning percentage of between 45-55% on the season. Take Auburn.

College Blowout Game Of Week100Texas (-13½) over Kansas
12:30 PM -- Memorial Stadium
Texas by 28-35
TV: FSN Weather in Lawrence: Partly cloudy, 38 degrees, relative humidity of 57% and wind out of the NNW at 14 mph. Comments: It has been lost on most people that Texas (9-1)—and not Oklahoma and Texas Tech—has the best chance to get to the Big 12 championship game. The Longhorns have lost only to Tech, 39-33, on a last second touchdown and have beaten Oklahoma. If OU beats Texas Tech in Norman next Saturday, Texas is all but on its way to the Big 12 championship game and excellent chance to play for the national title for the second time in three seasons. With that said, this is not to suggest Kansas (6-4) won come to play. The Jayhawks will but the figures say their best football is behind them and that KU quarterback Todd Reesing is far off his early season form. Texas has the best quarterback, the best running backs, the best overall offense and the best overall defense. The incentive factor for the Longhorns to fire their best shot here is off the charts and this game has blowout written all over it.
Sunny. Winds blowing from the Northwest at 10-20 m.p.h. Game-time temperature: Around 60.

Auburn finally got a win after 4 straight losses. Now it was a win over Tennessee Martin, but they are off the losing streak. Auburn plays great defense and at home they will give Georgia all they have trying to get bowl eligible. The betting public is all over Georgia and I would not be shocked to see an upset. Look for a tight defensive battle. Take Auburn.

ASA

11/15/2008
11:00:00 AM Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-4)
over NAVY MIDSHIPMEN
ASA - (this game is being played in Baltimore) - Notre Dame lost to Navy at home last year 46-44 in triple overtime, making it the first time in 44 years that Navy beat Notre Dame. Don’t think for one second that the Irish have forgotten about that. At 5-4, Notre Dame may not have the swagger that Irish teams have had in the past, but three of their four losses were on the road to good teams (Michigan State, North Carolina, Boston College) and an overtime loss at home to a good Pittsburgh team. We expect Charlie Weis to have his team ready for revenge against a talented Navy team.

Before last weeks 0-17 loss at the hand of Boston College, Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was starting to look like a premiere College quarterback, he threw four interceptions against Boston College, squandering any chance of a win. We expect him to have a big day to redeem himself against Navy’s 105th ranked pass defense. Just last week, Navy gave up 340 yards passing and 3 touchdowns against Temple!

In similar match-ups by both of these teams, they have both had a recent game against Pittsburgh; Navy lost their match-up at home with Pitt by 21 and was out-gained by 250 yards, whereas Notre Dame out-gained Pitt and lost in the fourth overtime 36-33. Notre Dame comes into this game under a lot of scrutiny after their shutout loss to BC and knowing that they lost to Navy for the first time in 44 years last year; now Charlie Weis has taken over play-calling duty for the offense and we expect an offensive explosion from the Irish. The road team in this series is 12-1 ATS in their last 13 games and we expect that trend to continue Saturday. Go with the Irish.


11/15/2008
2:00:00 PM SOUTHERN MISS GOLDEN EAGLES (-2)
over East Carolina Pirates
ASA - The Golden Eagles were struggling but turned the corner two weeks ago. They had lost 5 straight games going into their contest with UAB on November 1st. We had been keeping close eye on USM because they had been playing very competitive football but seemed to come up just short. In their 5 losses leading up to Nov. 1st four of them came by six points or less. We were waiting for them to break out and they did at home vs. UAB winning 70-14. In that game they racked up 610 total yards and really started to feel good about themselves. Last week, USM traveled to Central Florida and kept the momentum flowing winning that game 17-6 out gaining the Knights by 130 total yards. After two straight wins, they now have a bowl berth in their sites but they need to win out to accomplish that feat.

ECU continues to be one of the most over rated teams in the country in our opinion. They were the talk of the town early in the year beating Virginia Tech and West Virginia to open the season. Remember though, neither of those teams played well early in the season and neither is as good as initially thought. Thus, those wins were not as impressive as everyone thought. The Pirates last few games were less than impressive against two struggling Conference USA teams. Last week ECU played host to Marshall and barely squeaked by 19-16 in overtime. The week before they went to Central Florida and barely got out alive winning 13-10 also in OT. This team has been poor on the road this year with their only two wins coming @ Tulane and @ Central Florida. Those two teams have a combined 4-14 record and ECU had to score a TD with under 2:00 minutes remaining the game in both just to keep pace.

The Pirates are struggling on offense right now and that is not a good thing facing the 16th ranked offense in the country in Southern Miss. The Eagles will possibly be without RB Damien Fletcher for this one which is a blow, however he didn’t play last week and Southern Miss still put up nice offensive numbers. If Fletcher plays it’s a bonus, if not, USM should still get the cover at home. The Eagles main problem has been on the defensive side of the ball, however head coach Larry Fedora has been very pleased with the last few games and the practices leading up to those games. They have allowed just 20 points in their last two games combined and now face an ECU offense that has not topped 20 points in three of their last four games.

USM is really starting to play well and we’re catching some nice value with them at home in this game. Lay the small number here.


11/15/2008
2:30:00 PM MARYLAND TERRAPINS (+3)
over North Carolina Tar Heels
ASA - We love this play with Maryland. The Terps are coming off a loss suffered at Virginia Tech on a Thursday night; Maryland isn’t a great road team and Virginia Tech was able to shut them down and get the 23-13 win. North Carolina is coming off a deceiving 28-7 win vs. Georgia Tech, where it was 7-0 before the Tar Heels scored 21 points in the 4th quarter. N.C. gave up 326 rushing yards to Georgia Tech (6.0 yard average) and was out-gained by 109 total yards, but benefited from 3 turnovers by the Yellow Jackets and squeaked out the win at home.

After playing on Thursday night, Maryland will benefit from the extra 2-3 days of rest, and they also get the luxury of playing at home where they are 5-0 this year (4-1 ATS). North Carolina has played five of their last seven games at home, and will almost be a full month since their last road game (loss @Virginia). Last week was a huge win for the Tar Heels; it was their homecoming, they beat a good Georgia Tech team, and it put them at the top of the ACC Coastal division. After this big weekend, we see a BIG let-down when N.C. travels to Maryland.

Maryland has been solid at home where they are 37-13 SU at home since 2000. North Carolina is almost the exact opposite, where they are 13-31 on the road since 2000. Just last year N.C. was 0-6 on the road. N.C. is 2-1 on the road this season, but a touchdown with just 46 seconds gave them the win @Miami even though they were out-gained and out-played.

North Carolina is just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings visiting Maryland, and just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 meetings. Maryland is 4-1 vs. the Tar Heels under Head Coach Ralph Friedgen, with the one loss coming last year 16-13. This will be a revenge game for the Terps, and we expect Maryland to come out of the gates hot, and stay hot, to get the easy win at home vs. the Tar Heels.

You cannot trust a Tulsa team that is coming off their first loss of the season who doesnt play defense to lay points on the road against a good offensive team like Houston. It wouldnt surprise me if Houston won this game outright by 14 to be honest with you. Tulsa hasnt played anyone and the one real D-1 team they did play Arkansas easily beat them.

Houston is better then people think and at home tonight they will get the outright. Take the points but look for the win.

Nebraska Cornhuskers v/s Kansas St. Wildcats 11/15/2008 3:30:00 pm Predicted Winner: Kansas St. Wildcats
Nebraska Cornhuskers at Kansas St. Wildcats 3:30 PM ET
Kansas St. Wildcats +7 -110

**9** Big XII Game of the Year (63.9% YTD) This game could not set up much better for the Wildcats. They are coming off a game at Missouri where they simply could not match up which just so happened to take place in the same week that head coach Ron Prince was told he wasn’t coming back. Now Kansas St. heads home for a revenge game against the Huskers but this is not just any revenge spot. Kansas St. went to Lincoln last season and Nebraska put up 73 points on the Wildcats, the most points they have allowed since 1971. They haven’t forgotten.

Adding another element to this game comes from the Nebraska side. The Huskers are coming off a win over Kansas last week which was significant on their part. They were avenging a loss to the Jayhawks from last season where Kansas won 76-39. The 76 points the Jayhawks put up in Lawrence that day were the most ever scored against a Nebraska football team. Nebraska made it perfectly clear before the game they wanted payback and after the game they showed what a big game it was.

Three quotes from three players sum it up. “It\'s incredible. I can\'t even describe the feeling right now just because what happened down there last year, and where our team is heading this year, just to make a statement and beat them.” “It was awesome. It just feels so good to come back and redeem ourselves from what happened last year.” “It feels great. All the guys are really happy in the locker room. It was nuts for a little while after the game. It\'s a big win.” There is no chance the energy will be the same.

The Wildcats, despite the departure of their coach at the end of the season, are still in bowl contention. If they win this game and then next week against lowly Iowa St., they will become bowl eligible. It was a surprise to many of the players that Prince was let go and despite Prince saying the players were focused heading into Missouri last Saturday, they clearly were not. A week after the shock should prove different as the players respected and liked playing for Prince so they will put a full effort on the field Saturday.

Kansas St. has lost four straight games but three of those came on the road and the lone home loss was against Oklahoma. Most teams in the country would go 1-3 or 0-4 in that situation so it is certainly not a signal to the end of the season. This is the biggest game of the season and it happens to come against a longtime, hated rival making it even more special. Several Kansas St. players on Monday said that Prince has made it an objective this week to remind his team of the embarrassment the Wildcats felt a year ago. 9* Kansas St. Wildcats

College Football
Indiana +35.5 over Penn State
Penn State had their title hopes shattered last week at Iowa and I do not see how they will get up to play Indiana and actually put together a complete game to win by so many points. Indiana has a very capable offense and are starting to get healthy again. Look for Penn State to get the win, but Indiana to cover this huge spread.

Auburn +10 over Georgia
Auburn finally got a win after 4 straight losses. Now it was a win over Tennessee Martin, but they are off the losing streak. Auburn plays great defense and at home they will give Georgia all they have trying to get bowl eligible. The betting public is all over Georgia and I would not be shocked to see an upset. Look for a tight defensive battle. Take Auburn.

Colorado +18 over Oklahoma State
Colorado is trying to get bowl eligible, but it will not be easy to win at home today against a great Oklahoma State offense. Oklahoma has the best record against the spread in the nation this year and Colorado is one of the worst teams this year ATS. I am a big believer that these stats always balance themselves out and Vegas adds on extra points to teams with good spread records. The Buffs have the experience to hang with the Cowboys who maybe sluggish off a tough Texas Tech game. Take Colorado.

Illinois +9.5 over Ohio State
The Illini have a great offense and at home should put up a decent amount of points tonight. Illinois has played very well against the Buckeyes in the past two years and seem to matchup well against them. Ohio State is very young this year and this is a tough spot for them. OSU plays great defense, but I do not think their offense should be favored by this many points in a game like this. Illinois is also looking to get bowl eligible with a big home win.

Washington +6.5 over UCLA
The state of Washington doesn't have much to cheer for with College Football this year. Both Washington and WSU are horrible, but why would Vegas dip this line under a TD when it opened over a TD. There is no reason for it. The world is on UCLA and everyone knows Washington is a 0-9 team. Both teams stink on offense and I think today they will struggle again. Look for a tight game that will come down to the wire. Take the Huskies.

NBA - 515 New Orleans Hornets @ 516 Houston Rockets

These two teams have been constantly underperfoming the public’s expectations and that’s why we have such a low line in here. The Hornets are 5-0 Under on their last 5 games and the Rockets are 3-1 Under on their last 4 games. Both teams are coming from low scoring games last night, however that doesn’t mean this game will need to be a low scoring affair. Actually I think it’s going to be the opposite of that. The Rockets lost against the Spurs by 75-77 in a game which went exactly as I thought it would (I took Spurs +6). The Spurs tried to slow down the pace of the game as much as they could, get the game closer and then at a ballgame, any team could win and that’s how San Antonio won last night. Weirdly, the Rockets showed little aggressiveness last night, having just 11 FT attempts and half of the offensive boards the Spurs had (5 vs 10). We can say the Spurs wanted to win the game more than the Rockets and naturally I expect a bounce back from the Rockets today, with them coming to this game more aggressive and getting a lot more FT attempts.

On the other side, the Hornets are coming from a close win against the Blazers, in a game where for the first time this season Chris Paul had less than 20 points and 10 assists. The team was affected from their loss against the Lakers on their previous game and the important for them was just to win the game. Today the matchups against the Rockets favor the game to have a good number of points. I remember PG Rafer Alston is out for this game, so Aaron Brooks will start on his place. Brooks is talented guard, with an offensive mind, but against Chris Paul, he will struggle on… defense! CP3 had a bad performance last night and he will want to bounce back in here. On the other side, Tmac shot just 2-12 FG last night, in another poor performance from him. However, today the perspective of him shooting better are good, as he will face Morris Peterson and Peja Stajokovic, who are poor defenders. And even Yao Ming uses to have good performances against the Hornets and last season, in two games against the Hornets, he scored 28 and 30 points.

We are in front of a game with a totals line of 181 points, but with both teams ready to explode offensively. The Rockets will come fired up for today, with another level of aggressiveness and the Hornets have been averaging 101.6 ppg on the road. It will be enough for both teams to score a little bit more 90 points tonight for this game to go over the total posted. Take the over in here.

Pick: 3 units (Regular Play) on 515/516 Over 181 @1.91 on Bookmaker

ASA 6.5-Star Top Game is taking @Oregon State -3 over California

California is coming off the biggest game of their season last week when they lost to USC. The USC-Cal rivalry has been heated in recent years and a win for Cal would’ve put them in a tie for first in the Pac-10. Cal’s offense couldn’t get anything going on offense as they were suffocated by the Trojans D for just 165 total yards! We expect more of a let-down this week from Cal as they travel to Oregon State in their second straight road game vs. a Beavers team that is VERY good at home; just ask USC. Oregon State has a great balance on offense, and it starts with RB Jacquizz Rodgers; Rodgers leads the team with 914 rushing yards, 349 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. He even torched the 3rd best rush defense in the Nation (USC) for 186 yards and 2 touchdowns in their upset of the Trojans. This is bad news for Cal, who has given up 206 yards, and 173 yards in their past two games. Expect Rodgers to have a great game, and for the Beavers to run all over the Bearcats. As I mentioned before, Oregon State is a GREAT home team. The beavers are 12-1 SU and 10-3 ATS in their last 13. They are also arguably the hottest team in the NCAA right now, going 13-3 ATS in their last 16 overall. Oregon State is three Pac-10 wins away from being the conference champion and a likely trip to the Rose Bowl; they’ll start with an easy win at home on Saturday vs. an overrated California squad. Go with the Beavers.
