triple-dime bet 188 Oregon 3.0 (-110) BetUs vs 187 Southern Cal

Analysis: I love this game! Obviously things can get sideways with unexpected injuries, crazy turnovers, etc. But I just see this as a bad setting for this Trojan team. Much like the Florida Gators this USC team looks like they are just ripe for the picking. I look for that Trojan offense to sputter in that rowdy atmosphere and an underrated Duck defense to show up. Monster game for the Ducks and I expect a monster effort. I just have not been real impressed with the Trojans last two outings against the Irish and Oregon State. On a lighter note, I have never had a triple star release on a team with such hideous uniforms which makes watching the game that much tougher. Is there no one that can approach that Athletic Director and say, hey, we need to talk about this.
I've looked long and hard at this matchup guys and every instinct I have says USC goes down here saturday night. Going to be some real celebrating in Eugene saturday night. Triple Star on the Oregon Ducks +3!!

double-dime bet 147 Georgia 15.0 (-110) BetUS vs 148 Florida
Analysis: Something just not quite right with Florida and Tim Tebow right now. They are not clicking on all cylinders are looked pretty ordinary and vulnerable against the Miss. State last week. I do not anticipate this being a particularly popular release but I see this as a pretty close game. Georgia is coming into this rumble with 2 weeks to prepare and I feel confident they will be more than ready to put up a huge battle. They are also probably the healthiest they have been all year guys. Teams have just so many emotional bullets to let fly in a year and I see this game as one of those moments for the Bulldogs. Urban Meyer's kids likely pull out the victory but it won't come easily, at all.

double-dime bet 186 Tennessee -5.5 (-110) BetUS vs 185 South Carolina
Analysis: The South Carolina Gamecocks of Steve Spurrier are headed into a tough spot here in my view. Obviously Jonothan Crompston needs to step up with a huge performance against a stingy South Carolina defense. Hard to see a Steve Spurrier squad that depends on solid play on the defensive side of the ball as opposed to the offense. I was very impressed with the Vols effort against Bama and I am now convinced Lane Kiffiin has this program back on track to take their spot among the nations elite. I feel they beat this Gamecock club by at least 10 points guys in front of a huge and rowdy home crowd. South Carolina just in the wrong place at the wrong time here.


spartan | CFB Side Sat, 10/31/09 - 8:00 PM

double-dime bet 163 Texas -9.0 (-110) BetUS vs 164 Oklahoma St.
Analysis: The Texas longhorns under Mack Brown have had their way with the Cowboys winning all 11 games during his time as head coach. This Texas defense is most certainly for real as the Missouri Tigers would readily testify to. I simply feel we actually have some value here with this number. I realize 9 may appear to be a heavy load on the road for the Longhorns to clear but make no mistake about this, Texas is the far superior club. Oklahoma State will severely need to benefit from some turnovers and special team heroics to stay within the number in my view. Mizzou has played both these squads recently and from what I am told Texas is considerably more athletic and balanced. I see the Longhorns ruining the party in Stillwater in a convincing manner.

Re: 10-31-09

Randall the Handle 10/31

HOUSTON -6.5 over Southern Mississippi PINNACLE
This is a big inter-conference game for both these teams, as Conference USA play is predictably turning into a four-horse race between Houston, Southern Miss, East Carolina and UTEP. Houston has slipped only once this season, losing to UTEP after pulling off huge upsets at Oklahoma State and Texas Tech in consecutive weeks. That loss knocked them out of the National Rankings but more importantly put them behind the eight ball for the conference crown. Houston is led by NFL prospect Case Keenum, who has a ridiculous 20-4 touchdown to interception ratio and has completed 70% of his passes. Houston can score with the any team in Division 1 but like many non BCS schools their defense can’t be counted on to make consistent stops. Southern Mississippi is very similar to Houston, as it also has an offense that can rack up points but really struggles to stop quality opponents on defense. This game’s total is set at 62½, and that means the odds-makers believe these two teams will trade touchdowns. So why take Houston? Firstly, I believe they have the edge on offense, as they are currently ranked third in the FBS in points per game at 40.4. Secondly, Houston has a major edge at quarterback, as Southern Mississippi lost their starter Austin Davis for the season and had to replace him with untested Martevious Young. Young is going to play his first conference road game and if this College Football season has taught us anything, it’s that untested quarterback’s playing on the road almost always struggle. Lastly, Houston isn’t going to look ahead like it did three weeks ago against UTEP because they know they need to win out for a chance to play in this season’s conference title game. That loss might have very well cost them an undefeated season and you can be sure second year coach Kevin Sumlin will remind his players of it and have them focused on this conference showdown. Play: #190 Houston –6½ (Risking 2.18 units to win 2).

South Carolina +6 over TENNESSEE PINNACLE
Tennessee had a legitimate chance to pull of what was to be undoubtedly the biggest upset of this season last week, losing to #1 Alabama 12-10 on a last second field goal block. Lane Kiffin hammered the officiating after the game, as his team was repeatedly penalized in the fourth quarter while Alabama finished the entire game with one penalty. Tennessee played their hearts out and still lost and that’s what makes this a very dangerous game for them. Not only did Tennessee fall to 3-4 on the season, they squandered the chance to realistically get to six wins and become bowl eligible in Kiffin’s first season. South Carolina meanwhile is ranked nationally and sports a 5-2 record that includes a big upset at the hands of Mississippi and a last second loss to Georgia. South Carolina can run the ball, as their dual threat of Kenny Miles and Jarvis Gilles both average more than five yards per carry. That’s important because South Carolina was the worst teams in the SEC running the ball last year and that put too much pressure on quarterback Stephen Garcia. With the running game keeping the defense honest, Garcia has the second most passing yards in the SEC, a stunning turnaround for a guy couldn’t do anything last year. Garcia can now be trusted to make good decisions and run a watered-down version of the Spurrier Offense. Tennessee’s defensive numbers look great but need to be looked at with some caution as they played a weak non-conference schedule and haven’t really faced elite offenses. The bottom line is that Tennessee is not ready to get over the mental hurdle of last week’s loss and face what could be Steve Spurrier’s best South Carolina team since he took over five years ago. To be able to catch six points against a team I already think is wrongly favored makes this wager a must play. Play: #185 South Carolina +6 (Risking 2.06 units to win 2)

Rutgers +7 over UConn
UConn has covered all seven games this year which is the reason why this is not a 3pt line. These two teams are evenly matched however UConn must be physically and emotionally drained after the death of Jasper Howard. This team almost pulled an upset at West Virginia, but had their hearts broken if the final two minutes of the game. If that wasn’t bad enough the team had to bury Howard this week and the pure adrenalin has run out as reality starts to set in as things get back to normal. Rutgers is looking to become bowl eligible with a win and right now their heads are a lot clearer then Connecticut’s which means a lot when betting on kids 18-22 years old. Take Rutgers.

Duke +7 over Virginia
The winner of this game probably becomes bowl eligible and the opponent out of luck. Virginia started out cold and found their rhythm, but I think the passing game for Duke will be too much for them to handle. The UVA defense is solid, but it will be tough to stop Thaddeus Lewis. Last year Duke crushed the Cavs. I see similar results today, Duke is hungry for a bowl birth and has not been in the postseason since 1994. Take Duke getting points.

Syracuse +15.5 over Cincinnati
The Bearcats proved they have what it takes to win without Tony Pike at QB as they beat up on USF in the second half of the game Pike left in and then had their way against Louisville last week. Syracuse is no pushover anymore and will make this game close. Cincinnati is now more likely to run the ball with their mobile backup rather than throw it 40 times a game. Syracuse is actually good at stopping the run and in a dome things could get interesting. This Syracuse team with an upset win today could put themselves into position to make it to a bowl game. I don’t think Syracuse can pull an upset, but I do think they stay inside the number. Take the Syracuse.

Re: 10-31-09

Karl Garrett 40 DIMER - AIR FORCE....10 DIMERS - UNLV, & FLORIDA 40 DIMER - AIR FORCE FALCONS

The Rams have officially hit the skids, losing 5 straight, while failing their last pair, and 3 of 4. Hard for me to imagine Colorado State staying with the Force in this one, as Air Force may be just 4-4, but a closer look shows ALL 4 losses coming by a TD or less.

The Falcons may not be able to move through the air, but their veteran defense has been able to force 23 turnovers this season, and that defense is surely licking their chops against regressing Col State QB Stuckey who is completing his passes at less than 50% for his last 3 games!

Air Force has home games against Army, and UNLV coming up before closing at BYU, so expect the Propeller Heads to do some damage today as they start what should be a 3-game winning streak heading into that Provo date on November 21st.

The Falcons have won the last 3 in this series, and have covered the last pair of games, both wins coming by double-digits. Air Force is also 4-1 against the spread a road favorite under Coach Calhoun.

Lay it!

10 DIMER - UNLV REBELS

The Purple People Eaters of College Football are on major letdown alert after crushing BYU on the road last week.

UNLV is much better than their 3-5 record, with only a 2 point loss to Oregon State, a 3 point loss AT Wyoming (one of the toughest road venues in NCAA).

The Runnin' Rebels scored 34 points on the road last weekend in their win at New Mexico, and are being given 34 points or so this week before the kick-off!!?!?!

Last week the Rebels held onto the ball for 37 minutes and if they can hold on to the ball for a while today, they lose by no more than 17 points.

TCU is a wrecking ball, no doubt about it, but this is too many points even for the Horned Frogs to cover.

10 DIMER - FLORIDA GATORS

This is one of those games where you look at the line and automatically bite on Georgia plus the points, but I am not of that opinion.

Georgia did pull away from Vanderbilt 2 weeks ago, and did have off last week in order to get ready for this showdown, but I still have my questions regarding the Bulldogs weak defense, and their weak running game.

Florida has not be able to deliver the KO punch against Arkansas or Miss State the last 2 weeks as the double-digit favorite, and they were also sluggish against Tennessee. The fact is, the Gators are down a few weapons on offense, but Tim Tebow is out for some redemption from last week's poor showing, and we all know the Florida defense is among the best in the nation.

I expect a few forced turnovers from the Gators "D", and I expect the Tebow and his offense to cash in on the short fields set up by the defense. In the end, Florida covers this number as they quiet the critics of their # 1 ranking for the week.

Lay the chalk with the Gators.

* W id ow W ise guy Big Ten "S TE AL" OF THE YEAR on Indiana +17.5(-107 at 5dimes)

Iowa has just been squeaking by their opponents of late, not blowing anyone out. In fact, Iowa has won 6 straight games by 11 points or less. This is a very inflated line Saturday, and we'll take advantage with the biggest STEAL in the Big Ten this season. Iowa has a 1-point win over UNI, a 3-point win over Arkansas State and a 2-point win over Michigan this season at home. Those 3 teams are not any better than this 4-4 Indiana team this season. The Hoosiers are just 1-3 on the road, but they are 3-1 ATS in road games this season with a 38-21 win at Akron, a 33-36 loss at Michigan and a 28-29 loss at Northwestern. This is Indiana's season Saturday as a win would give them a great shot to earn a bowl bid, and national exposure by beating the only undefeated team left in the Big Ten. This is unfamiliar territory for Iowa as it's the first time they have started 8-0 in school history. Players are starting to feel the pressure, and that's why they've had so many close wins of late. If they win Saturday, it will be another nailbiter. The Hawkeyes lost starting RB Adam Robinson and starting OL Dace Richardson each for the season after both suffered injuries in their 15-13 win at Michigan State last week. These losses will force QB Ricky Stanzi to try and win this game on his own, which he cannot do. Stanzi has been prone to the interception this season, already throwing 8 picks in 8 games. The Hoosiers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Hawkeyes are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 10.5 or greater. Indiana has won 2 of their last 3 meetings with Iowa, including a 38-20 road win in 2007 as a 9.5-point underdog. The Hoosiers are now 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road meetings with the Hawkeyes. Take Indiana and the points.

5* W ise guy ABC Saturday Night "Side" S LAU GH TER on Oklahoma State +9(-110 at bookm)

Oklahoma State has been waiting for this game, a chance to knock off unbeaten Texas. If there's one team that is going to spoil the Longhorns' perfect season, it's the Cowboys. Oklahoma State has everything you need to beat a team like Texas, a balanced offense and an outsanding defense. The Cowboys are 6-1 this season, scoring 37.0 points/game and putting up 418 yards/game of total offense. They average 186 rushing yards and 232 passing yards. Defensively, they give up 20.0 points/game but they have improved as the season has progressed. The Cowboys are giving up just 12 points/game in their last 2 with blowout wins over Missouri and Baylor. Texas has won a pair of nailbiters the last 2 years, winning 38-35 at Oky State in 2007 and 28-24 at home last year. The Cowboys are sick and tired of losing tight games to this team, and they will do something about it Saturday and likely spoil the Longhorns' perfect season. One thing is certain, they won't lose by more than a touchdown at home. The Longhorns are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite of 3.5-10.0. The Cowboys are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games in October. Oklahoma State is playing their best football of the season right now, perfect timing to take down the undefeated Longhorns. Take Oky State and the points.

4* on Utah State +17(-107 at 5dimes)

Utah State has played all of their opponents very tough this season despite their 2-5 record. The Aggies are 5-2 ATS in all games this year, not losing once by more than 18 points. They have lost twice by 18 on the road to BYU and on the road to Utah, and both BYU and Utah are better than Fresno State. The Bulldogs have played a very soft schedule of late with blowout wins over Hawaii, San Jose State and New Mexico State. Look for Fresno to come out stagnant Saturday after that easy slate of games, and Utah State takes advantage by covering this monster spread, possibly winning outright. Utah State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings with Fresno, losing by just 2, 11 and 1 in their last 3 meetings, respectively. This will be another closely-contested ball game in their 2009 meeting and that's why taking the points is the only move here. Take Utah State and the points.

4* on Georgia Tech/Vanderbilt UNDER 47(-109 at 5dimes)

This is going to be a defensive battle between two teams who rely very heavily on the run. To put it in persective, Georgia Tech averages 56 rushing attempts/game and only 11 pass attempts. Vanderbilt averages 41 rushing attempts/game to 30 pass attempts. Vandy has been forced to throw more because they have been behind so often due to a lack of production offensively. But the Commodores are completing just 47.3% of their passes and averaging a mere 16.6 points/game offensively. Vandy won't score more than 10 points Saturday, and we don't see Georgia Tech reaching 30 in this defensive battle. The Yellow Jackets are 9-1 UNDER (+7.9 Units) after 2 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons. Vandy is 9-0 UNDER (+9.0 Units) after playing their last game on the road over the last 2 seasons. Vandy is 12-3 UNDER (+8.7 Units) in home games off a road loss since 1992. The Commodores are 8-0 UNDER (+8.0 Units) in October games over the last 2 seasons. Take the UNDER 47 points here.
