Akron +4.5
I think it's been a long time since Syracuse has been favored in a ball game, period. It actually amuses me that they are actually giving up points to a team. Note that roughly 60% of the public still favors Syracuse coming into this game, these 2 teams have not played each other at all in recent memory, in fact, I don't know if they have ever locked horns in their football history, Syracuse comes off a 20 point loss on the road at Northwestern which of course, they failed to cover, Akron comes off a 21 point loss on the road at Wisconsin. Note, that this Akron team is sound, they have a great QB in Chris Jacquemain who threw for 2 touchdowns and 0 picks at Wisconsin, a top 15 team in the nation, and actually completed more than 60% of his passes while Andrew Robinson did not throw a TD and threw a pick against Northwestern. In fact, he barely passed for over a 100 yards. Syracuse actually returns more players with 7 on offense (similar to Akron) but 6 on defense while Akron only returns 4. Of course, this is no good if your returning starters are not that good - lol. Having said this, despite the total going under since opening, I simply can't all see all that much defense here as both teams should have some success scoring. But, in the end, don't be surprised to see Akron win this baby Outright.Comment

2000* - Ole Miss Rebels, 500*s - Boston College, Temple, & Kansas
I used Wake Forest as a Thursday night 1500? Lead Pipe Lock on August 28th, as Wake went into Baylor, and blasted the Bears for me.I will go-against the Demon Deacons in this spot, as I believe they are laying a few points too many against an Ole Miss squad that looked very solid in their opening win at home against Memphis 41-24 last Saturday. The Rebels have a home game against Samford on-deck, while Wake's next game on the 20th comes at Florida State.Houston Nutt knows how to get his troups up when installed as the underdog, as he did go 7-1 against the spread his last 8 dog tries at Arkansas. These schools did meet in 2006 at Oxford, and Wake Forest ripped the Rebels 27-3 as the small road favorite.Looks to me like there is a slight revenge factor working in our favor for this one as well!Wake Forest has been a terrible home favorite in non-conference games, as Jim Grobe's team is 0-9-1 against the math their last 10 in that role! Those are kinds of numbers I like to see when I have the visiting non-conference dog baby.Ole Miss QB Jevon Snead and the new "Wild Rebel" formation looks like it will be able to keep pace scoring-wise with Riley Skinner, and his Demon Deacon mates.
Take the points in this 1st Ever 2000? Lock-Zilla Dog of the Year.
2000? - Ole Miss Rebels (3:30 pm)
Paul Johnson's debut at Georgia Tech was a success, as the Yellow Jackets dismantled Jacksonville State as expected. The sledding ain't gonna be as easy in Chestnut Hill today, as BC does have a rugged defense that will be able to stop the Jackets for most of the afternoon.Boston College handed Georgia Tech their first loss of the season last year, 24-10 in Atlanta, and they are 4-1 against the spread the last 5 times these schools have met.Both schools are working with new QB's, but with this being the home opener for the Eagles, and their defense pitching a shutout last week against Kent, I have a feeling BC's stop unit will be able to force a few Tech turnovers in the high-risk option offense that Coach Johnson likes to employ.
Lay the points with Boston College in their home opener today!
500? - Boston College Eagles (12 pm)
I like the underdog Owls at home against the Huskies today.
Temple did me a solid with a 500? opening night winner at Army, 35-7, and things are sure looking up for Al Golden's team, as they are on an 8-4-1 spread run their last 13 games. Better still is their 10-4 spread mark when catching points in their own yard.Connecticut was a 30-point favorite last year at home against Temple, and the Owls made the Huskies sweat for the full 60-minutes in a 22-17 loss. That cover made it 4 straight Give-a-Hoot covers in this series since 2001! UConn is not usaully installed as road favorites, and they do have a monster revenge game at home with Virginia on-deck.
Take any points they are giving as Temple is there today.
500? - Temple Owls (12 pm)
Rock-Chalk Jayhawk was not able to cover in their home opener against Florida International last week, as they won 40-10, but were laying over 35-points.The spread is a little lower tonight, and Kansas definitely is on guard after Louisiana Tech's home upset win over Miss State last weekend.
The Bulldogs were able to force 5 turnovers in their 22-14 upset win last week, but on the road I doubt they will be as fortunate. Remember, the Jayhawks are 15-3 against the spread their last 18 lined games, and 12-2 their last 14 as a home favorite.Lay away!
500? - Kansas Jayhawks (7 pm)Comment

Lenny Del Genio's 20* CFB Non-Conf BLOWOUT of the Month! - Saturday
Play on Penn State at 3:30 ET. Oregon State has been an unmitigated disaster on the non-conference road the past three years, turning in at least one terrible performance each season. Last year, they went to Cincinnati and lost 34-3 as a three-point FAVORITE. In 2006, the trip wasn?t nearly as long, but the result was equally as painful when Boise State crushed them 42-14 on the blue turf. The year prior, Louisville hung 63 points on them in a 36-point beatdown. All told, that?s an average pointspread loss of 26 points per game! What makes things even more depressing for Mike Riley is that all of those Beaver teams were better than the one he?s fielding this year. That was proven when they lost outright at Stanford last Thursday (another road loss). Overall, Riley is eight-games under .500 in his tenure in Corvallis. Last week, they were outrushed 210-86 by a Cardinal team that had previously averaged just 1.0 YPC in the previous five meetings between the schools. Losing the ENTIRE front seven kills the defense. In Penn State, they draw a very rude non-conference host, one that has won 13 straight at Beaver Stadium over non-Big Ten teams by an average of over 31 PPG. OSU is 1-10-1 ATS in September. We?ll gladly look past the PSU suspensions. Penn State is our Non-Conference Blowout of the Month.
Good luck, Lenny
Lenny Del Genio's **ADDED BOARD** Game of the Year
Play on Maryland at 7:00 ET. Here is a matchup of teams coming in off disappointing performances. The only difference is that Maryland won their game. MTSU saw 2007 end on a sour note with an ugly 45-7 loss at Troy. After getting all season to think about that defeat, the Blue Raiders got the unique opportunity to have a shot at immediate revenge in last Thursday?s season opener. The result? A 31-17 home loss, despite getting four takeaways. They were also outgained by over a full yard per play. Home underdogs, in the first month of the season, that ended last season with multiple losses and are off a conference loss this year are a terrible 5-26 ATS since 1992. Now Ralph Friedgen certainly has no reason to be smiling in College Park this week after his Terps only bested FBS Delaware 14-7 in the opener. However, that is a Delaware team that played for the FBS National Championship last year. Also, sophomore RB Da?Rel Scott ran for 197 yards last week, so there is reason to be excited about this team here. Three missed FG?s made last week?s game look closer than it actually was. Maryland is a perfect 5-0 vs. Sun Belt teams with the average win by 17 PPG. Maryland is our Added Board Game of the Year.
Good luck, LennyComment

Syracuse -4.5 over Akron
It has gotten bad for Syracuse. A once major force in College Football is now giving away tickets for free to the students and still nobody is interested. This program is on the verge of a collapse and coach Greg Robinson has one foot and four toes out the door. Robinson may just be the first coach to get the ax unless this team can start winning. Syracuse needs to win the first of this four game home stand badly. Akron doesn't have much of an offense and is not used to playing indoors. The Zips also have 8 new starters on defense. Look for Syracuse to get the win and cover in a much needed victory.
Nevada +10 over Texas Tech
Every news story you hear is about how this game is going to be a shootout. This will be a very exciting game. Both teams have great offenses, but Nevada has the ability to run the ball and keep Tech's offense off the field. Football is all about rhythm especially in the college level. If Nevada can chew clock Tech might not get the opportunity to light the scoreboard up. The Tech offense is one dimensional and if Nevada can rush the passer and blitz all game they have a shot to win outright. Nevada coach Chris Ault is 20-5 at home while Tech historically falters on the road in key spots. Take Nevada.
UCF +12.5 over South Florida
This short rivalry ends today as both teams will not be on each others schedules for a while. South Florida has won the last three years which makes this a big game for the UCF Seniors. Central Florida is rebuilding their offense, but should play great defense which will keep this game close. South Florida QB Matt Grothe is an unbelievable young talent, but made some negative comments about UCF that will motivate this team. Take Central Florida.

Re: 9-6-08
MARC LAWRENCE
TITLE: 36-0 ATS CFB Double Awesome Angle Play!
REASON FOR PICK: Play On: Miami Ohio
Note: When Miami Ohio takes on Michigan in the Big House early Saturday they will do so with two amazing Awesome Angles working in their favor.
From our powerful database we learn that Game Two favorites off a SU favorite loss are a 'PLAY AGAINST' if they were a bowl team last year facing an opponent either off a loss or win of 20 or less points in which the foe did not cover the spread by more than 12 points as a favorite or dog of 7 or less points in its last game. It becomes a 'play against' because teams in this role are 0-19 ATS since 1980.
Additionally, our database tells us to 'PLAY ON' a team in Game Two if they have 17 or more returning starters and lost SU and ATS in their season opener while losing to the spread by 9 or more points in that game versus an opponent off a loss of 3 or more points. These teams are 17-0 ATS since 1990.
With Miami picked to win the MAC and Michigan still adjusting to Rich Rodriguez's new spread offense, we'll grab the generous points with the RedHawks here today.
We recommend a 5-unit play on Miami, Ohio.Comment
