Utah State +5-105 at bovada |
4* Utah State/Tennessee NCAAF Vegas Insider on Utah State + Utah State is coming off a surprising finish to last season. The Aggies won the MWC Mountain division over Boise State, despite losing star quarterback Chuckie Keetan to a season-ending knee injury just 6 games into the year. Utah State would come up short against Fresno State in the MWC Championship Game, but would go on to beat Northern Illinois 21-14 in the Poinsettia Bowl for a 9-5 overall record. With Keetan returning, I look for Utah State to give the Volunteers all they can handle. Tennessee hasn't been able to get anything going over the last few years and I don't see them breaking out in 2014 with just 10 returning starters. There's a solid system telling us to fade the Volunteer. A home team in the first month of the season, after closing out last season with 4 or more losses in last 5 game s, with 5 offensive starters returning are just 10-35 ATS over the last 10 years. That's a 78% system in favor of the Aggies. Takes Utah State +5! |

MLB Premium PicksMLB | Aug 31 ,2014 | 1:10p | [951] Philadelphia Phillies [952] New York Mets |
New York Mets -113 at Pinnacle |
3* NL East Main Event on Mets - The Mets are showing great value as a small home favorite against division rival Philadelphia. I believe New York has a big edge on the mound in this one with Dillon Gee starting against A.J. Burnett. Gee has a solid 3.54 ERA and strong 1.136 WHIP over 10 road starts, while Burnett is just 3-8 with a 5.31 ERA and 1.494 WHIP over 14 road starts this season. Adding to this is the fact that Burnett is just 1-9 in his last 10 road starts after giving up 1 earned run or less in his last outing. The Phillies as a team are also just 9-27 in their last 36 road games played on a Sunday. There's also a strong system in play on New York. All favorites with a money line of -110 or higher hitting .250 or worse as a team against an average starting pitcher (ERA=4.20 to 5.20) -NL, with an on base percentage of .300 or worse over their last 15 games a re 110-46 over the last 5 seasons. That's a 71% system in favor of the Mets. Take New York! |
