Georgia Tech at Miami, FL (-4.5)
Last week we recommended GT vs Clemson. Tech raced to a 24-0 lead only to allow 27 straight points before rallying to win but not cover.
But Tech Coach Paul Johnson remains one of the most successful ATS coaches in America. His last 16 times as a visiting underdog his teams are 13-3 ATS. GT's on a 12-4-1 ATS run as an away dog while Randy Shannon's Hurricanes are on a far less than stellar 3-9 ATS run as a home favorite. Miami's opening thriller of a victory over Florida State not quite as impressive after watching FSU struggle mightily to put away under-manned Jacksonville State.
Miami looks to be improving. But I've simply learned to never oppose a Coach Johnson team.

4 Unit Play. #607. Take the Phoenix Mercury -1.5 over the San Antonio Silver Stars (Thursday @ 9pm est).
Sometimes, the public wins. There are some -1's out there as well, but we will roll with -1.5 as the line will go up as the public is on this game about 2:1. For someone who usually fades the public, this is a bit of an anomaly here for me to roll with Phoenix, but I like them for a couple of reasons here. For starters, they come off a hard fought loss to the Sparks at home and this team is usually a very solid bounce-back. Plus, this team lost to San Antonio in their last effort on this very floor back on August 15th. In fact, the home team has won each of the four games that have been played this year. But, I believe this will be a road series - meaning that the team on the road will likely cover more games. The Mercury are 13-2 ATS when coming off 3 days rest, 13-3 ATS coming off a straight up loss and the Silver Stars are 1-4 ATS when playing a team with a winning record. I like Taurasi leading the charge here in the season where she hopes she will be remembered for a wnba championship rather than the DUI she recieved earlier this year.
