4 Unit Play.. #54 Take Over 5 ½ in New York @ Atlanta (7:05 pm NHL Center Ice) This numbers is too low considering that both clubs have been strong over plays all season long. That is because neither team plays much defense and thus we will not worry about who wins this game and just collect with the over. The Thrashers have went over this number five of their last six contests and the Islanders have went over two of their last three. Play the over and watch your money grow.

Maryland football is the bastard step child in the D.C Regions legion of College Football fans. You will find Ohio State fans, Penn State fans and of course Wahoos and Hokies, more than you can stand. But Maryland is the school everyone ignores and pushes to the side.

Not tonight. Ralph Friedgen has turned this program around. I am so impressed with Maryland this year. They have hit the bumps in the road but they have performed at other times in an outstanding fashion. And despite that loss to UVA I think they are the best College Football program in the region (VA / MD / DC) in 2008.

They have the ACC's top rusher in Da'Rel Scott who has a question mark over him tonight but word around College Park is he will be on the field tonight looking to help Maryland get by Virginia Tech. The Hokies meanwhile have concerns of their own with Tyrod Taylor and Sean Glennon's status in doubt. Not that going to their third string QB would matter for this abysmal Hokies offense. Beamer has relied on defense and special teams all season but tonight he faces a team in Maryland that has its own proud Special Teams unit and a defense that is pretty damn tough (remember that hit on that Cal receiver who threw up on the field...if you have not seen it here it is YouTube - Cal vs. Maryland Ralph)

Maryland also, unlike Tech, has an offense capable of putting points on the board. A key match up tonight will be Heyward-Bey versus the Tech secondary. If Chris Turner can get the ball to Heyward-Bey and avoid any costly mistakes Maryland will have a fairly easy time tonight.

Prior to dropping three in a row to Tech Maryland had won six straight in the series. Look for the Terps to get the big win tonight and take another step towards an ACC Title shot in a fiercely fought contest that the Terps should at least be able to stay inside the number. In their five games against unranked opponents this year the Terps have only been outscored 110-106. No way a deficient Tech team that is a dismal 0-4 SU and ATS after a bye week runs away with this. Look for Maryland to keep it close with a chance to win it in the fourth quarter. Maryland plus the points is the play tonight.





MARYLAND (+3) 25 Dimes







One of the first lessons I learned was to ride a streak until it ends. I do not always follow this rule. Tonight I will. Thursday Night home dog has been solid all year and we find Utah in that spot tonight. This is a huge game for the school with a planned black out and a capacity crowd in what may be some unpleasant weather conditions.

TCU is a Texas team not acclimated to the environment they find themselves playing in tonight with cold temps and a possibility of snow. This is the Utes house and they find themselves playing for a lot in this game tonight including a continued run at a perfect season and a potential January bowl date. The loser meanwhile will not be playing in January.

TCU is on their second straight road game and traveling on a short week to altitude. I am giving Utah the clear advantage here coming off a short week as well but playing at home off a mistake prone game last week against New Mexico. The Utes had nine penalties a muffed punt and a late interception while threatening in their 13-10 win. We catch them here at a great price off that uninspired effort last week while TCU has been steamrolling opponents on their way to rattling off 5 straight by an average of 28.4 ppg.

Thing is Utah has won nine straight at home, they are averaging 39 ppg, they have a 15-3 SU mark in November including 5-3 on Thursdays. All this and they hold a 4-1 SU advantage over TCU with an average score of 24-15. Meanwhile TCU is just 2-5 SU on Thursdays and their defense will be facing a very stiff challenge from veteran signal caller Brian Johnson and a Utah rushing game that has rushed for 520 yards over their last two games. We will see tonight if TCU is the real deal and their third ranked scoring defense and leading run defense can slow this Utah stampede. The Utes faithful will be out in force and the team that makes less mistakes wins. With Sophomore Andy Dalton at QB I see TCU losing the turnover battle.

Last year Andy Dalton struggled against Utah in a 27-20 Utes victory. He threw four picks in that game and now travels as a sophomore to Utah where the welcome will be anything but friendly. Utah has won four of the five meetings with TCU and everyone is jumping on this TCU bandwagon. Problem is those people are a week late to that party. Utah tonight in a thriller that will be closer than it should. Take Utah and the points to get it done tonight.

Cleveland -3 over Denver
Both teams are playing on a short week, but this will hurt Denver more due to the Travel and spending their nights in a hotel. Cleveland made the switch to Brady Quinn who is perfectly capable of running this offense. Denver has some running back issues and they have a rookie fullback. I do not see the Broncos running to much on Cleveland tonight. If you make a team unbalanced you can go for interceptions and really put them away. We all saw what Cleveland did on MNF to the Giants. This team is perfectly capable of winning big games. Also, Cleveland knows that another loss with all but crush their chance at a playoff spot. Look for Cleveland to have a good offensive game against a very bad Broncos defense. Take the Browns.

College Football
Maryland/Vtech Under 41.5
Maryland is the true definition of hot and cold. You never know what team you are going to get. Virginia Tech usually always plays good home defense and should slow up the Terps Da'Rel Scott. Scott is a great running back, but his shoulder has been slowing him down and I don't see him putting up a lot of yards tonight. When Tech is on offense they will be slowed by both QB's having Ankle injuries. We all are so used to Beamer Ball and VTech getting special teams TD's however it seems like this team is just not as good as they were in years pasts. Both teams should step it up on defense keep this low scoring. Take the Under.

Utah +1.5 over TCU
Both of these teams are outstanding and credit has to be given to TCU's defense. TCU has not allowed more than 14 pt's in any game except for their loss vs Oklahoma. Utah's defense is not far behind and I do like Brian Johnson their QB in a big game like this. Both teams can run the ball well, but yards will be hard to come by tonight. I do give the passing edge slightly to Utah and this home crowd and sub freezing temperatures have to favor the Utes who are used to the cold. Take Utah.

Bryan Leonard's Rare 4* TV Game of the Month (Thursday)

TCU at Utah We have said all along that the Horned Frogs are the best team in the Mountain West Conference and Vegas agrees making them a 2 point road favorite at undefeated Utah. The only blemish for TCU was a 35-10 loss at Oklahoma. The Sooners were looking to avenge their last home loss which came in 2005 when this same TCU program beat Oklahoma 17-10 on the road. Even in defeat the Horned Frogs were only outgained 435-314 but a 4-0 turnover disadvantage took them completely out of their game. TCU's most impressive victory this season was a 32-7 beat down of previous unbeaten BYU. They also took care of Stanford 31-14 winning the yardage battle 378-193. The TCU defense has held eight different opponents to their season low yardage, the most of any FBS squad. They also rank as the second best defense in the country right behind USC. They have held 7 of their 10 opponents this season to under 10 points. Simply put this offense is amazing and we can't see the Utes putting many points on the board. Utah is a perfect 9-0 on the season with their most impressive victories being a 31-28 home victory over Oregon State and a 25-23 win at Michigan. They were outgained in the win over the Beavers 405-337 and lowly Toledo also beat Michigan on the road. So despite the lofty ranking and the undefeated record Utah has done nothing to deserve all this credit. Much has been made about Utah beating TCU the last two seasons but this is a far better Horned Frogs team. Head coach Gary Patterson talked about that in his weekly press conference saying that the last time his team faced Utah QB Andy Dalton was a very raw and inexperienced player. Now he is a confident leader who has improved immensely from a season ago. In that game Utah won 27-20 and they had a plus three turnover advantage. Considering that TCU has only turned the ball over 11 times in 10 games we don't see that being a problem in this game. TCU has the better depth which is big at this time of season. Patterson said that every time his team has gotten a big lead this season he has rested his starters and that has helped his team stay relatively injury free. The second string defense played a great deal last week against UNLV and they still held the solid Rebel offense to 14 points and 175 total yards. TCU has allowed more than 14 points once all season, to Oklahoma one of the best offenses in the country. Utah is solid offensively but we can't expect more than 17 points from the host here. Look for the superior defense of the Horned Frogs to be the difference as TCU wins a low scoring physical game. PLAY TCU
