    Re: 1-2-10

    Steve Duemig Saturday's Winners 30 Dime - Mississippi

    Conference strength will be the difference in this one. Big Twelve has not looked all that good so far while the SEC continues to excel during bowl season. It's no secret that Jevon Sneed has suffered through a miserable season for his standards and the time off should help. Miss also discovered that they should have been putting the ball in the hands of their dynamic playmaker Dexter McCluster who really poured it on at the end of the season. If Snead can get his groove back the loss of a starting CB Cox for OSU will allow him places to throw the football that he may not have had prior. OSU has improved defensively but they don't put tremendous pressure on the QB. That is what really bothere Snead during the season. The other QB Zach Robinson is a dandy but he is minus his biggest target and game changer Dez Bryant. When you play teams in the SEC you had better have all your weapons.

    10 Dime - Northern Illinois

    Once again we are looking at an underdog of a TD that looks to not be outclassed as much as some MAC bowl teams. The Huskies routinely play the Big Ten as non-conference goes and just as routinely play them very tough. This year they played Wisconsin very tough and beat Purdue. They are not a passing team so they won't have a lot of rust to shake off. Remember that teams receiving a TD or more are covering at a near 70% rate over the last 11 years. I watch USF a lot being that they are in my back yard and they are really not good enough to be laying a TD on the road. USF does nothing well on offense and they are totally without an identity. Their QB Daniels is only hitting on 52% of his passes as well. They can play some defense however. This is a game that will come down to turnover and special teams. Add in that the team has been through major distractions with the Coach Leavitt alleged punching of a player during their final home game and you have a recipe for disaster. This is a very srange situation here. If in fact the players witnessed the incident in the locker room and they believe that Leavitt is getting away with it they could send him a strong message in this game by playing flat. Not saying that will happen but then again I'm not saying that it won't.

    5 Dime - South Carolina

    Major line move here with the opener coming out at 7 and now seeing a move down to 3.5. That's big being that the opponent is an SEC team. Edsal is a good game day coach and their certainly is motivation here in honor of their fallen team mate. The Gamecocks laid a giant egg here last tear in the Outback Bowl so i look for something a little bit better out of the Gamecocks this time around the Big East vs the SEC is a major class differenc Garcia, the SC QB has made some nice strides over the course of the season but he does wilt under pressure as he is still very young. S. C definitely has the better defense and if they come to play they can seriously take UConn behind the woodshed. Take a look at the line tomorrow before playing this game in the morning. While there was some early support for U Conn at the higher number I believe we have caught this line at a low point for some people who were looking to get a profitable middle in this game. They are going to come back big with SC over the top and we can ride the wave with them.

    5 Dime - East Carolina

    E. Car throws the football and Ark is very vulnerable through the air. They can score points which you have to be able to do against Ark. As well. We also have an inflated line because of a SEC team. Against a lesser foe. But we will rely on the overwhelming stat favoring dogs by a TD or more. We keep coming back to it and yes it doesn't always work but I will take my chances at 7/10. I would really like to wait on this line to go back up as I'm sure that the public will be on the SEC side tomorrow and we want get the max points. Should settle at 9.

        2-Unit Play. Take #529 Old Dominion (-3.5) over George Mason (Noon, Saturday, Jan. 2)
        This George Mason team has covered three straight lines at the window. But if you look at what they’ve done this year they have not played well. Really, at all. Mason is just 4-6 in their last 10 games. The wins have been by no more than 5 points and have not come against a team in the Top 90. Yeah, they have some close losses to good teams. But they lost. They got rocked by Radford on Wednesday and I just don’t think that this young team is ready for the task today. Old Dominion is a veteran team with a future pro in Gerald Lee. They have won three straight, including a maiming of Charlotte and a stunning win at Georgetown. ODU has the edge here and wins big.

        1-Unit Play. Take #535 Baylor (+3) over South Carolina (Noon, Saturday, Jan. 2)
        Over the last two years Carolina has lost to just about every good team that they have played. This year they have lost by double-digits to Boston College, Clemson and Miami. Those teams are good but they aren’t dominating. Baylor has been really good this year. They have won six straight games and have wins over Arkansas, Arizona State and Xavier. They are playing much more under control this year and I think that they have enough in the backcourt to neutralize Devan Downey and way, way too much in the frontcourt for USC to handle.

        0.5-Unit Play. Take #525 Pittsburgh (+11.5) over Syracuse (Noon, Saturday, Jan. 2)
        Pitt just always plays Syracuse tough and they make a really good underdog. This team hung around with Kansas a little bit earlier in the year and that was without two of its better players on the court. Pitt is not a good team but they just always have been good at attacking the SU zone. The Panthers are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings and the road team has won six of nine outright. Only two of the last eight meetings (and just three of 10) have been decided by 12 points or more. I think the Orange pull away but I think Pitt has enough pride to stay within 12.


        HERE IS THE REST OF THE CARD
        3.5-Unit Play. Take #624 USC (-1.5) over Arizona State (10:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 2)
        Note: This is my Game of the Week.

        Yeah, I don't get this line at all. Arizona State wasn't good enough to beat UCLA and has gotten worked over in both of its road games yet now they are suggested to go into USC and beat the streaking Trojans? Huh? I know, the odd line movement should throw me off the game (line opened at 4.0 and has been bet down in a RLM) but I'm not going to budge. Arizona State just isn't very good. When you are counting on Derek Glasser to be your stud, go-to guy you are in trouble. USC now has five guys in double-figures and is the best defensive team in the Pac-10. Dwight Lewis is solid and now has guys to defer to all over the court (like Mike Gerrity and Alex Stephenson). I love the home team in this spot and will be surprised if the Trojans don't get win No. 8 in a row, as they are one of the hottest teams in the country.

        2.5-Unit Play. Take #603 North Texas (-1) over Arkansas State (8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 2)
        Arkansas State's best player was injured in their last game and isn't likely to play tonight. Not good for a team that is 8-20 ATS in conference play over the last two years and 2-10 ATS at home. North Texas is a solid 12-2-1 ATS in its last 15 road games and I just think that they are the stronger team here.

        2-Unit Play. Take #621 Long Beach State (-1) over UC-Riverside (10 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 2)
        Wait, so LBSU goes into Cameron Indoor, Texas, UCLA, Clemson, South Bend, etc. and plays against top teams in the country and now they're supposed to pee down their legs playing at UC-Riverside? I don't think so. I think I made a mistake with this grading as well. This play should be twice what it is. Long Beach State is the conference front-runner and UC-Riverside is an also-ran. I just don't see how LBSU doesn't go in there and come out with a victory.

        1.5-Unit Play. Take #547 Wisconsin-Milwaukee (+16) over Butler (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 2)
        Butler has not been a very good double-digit favorite over the past few years and has not been that strong of a favorite period. They blew out UW-Green Bay, but the Phoenix were without their best player. Furthering our value, Milwaukee lost a heartbreaker at Valpo in a game that they had won. I think Milwaukee plays desperate here and keeps this close. I see an 11-point Butler win.

        1.5-Unit Play. Take #598 Valparaiso (-2.5) over Wisconsin-Green Bay (8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 2)
        I went against Green Bay a couple of weeks ago and won with Youngstown State. In that game GB was playing at home - against a team weaker than Valpo - and Rahmon Fletcher played for the Phoenix despite a bum knee. Well, he missed Green Bay's last game at Butler. And if he could suck it up and play against the Bulldogs I doubt that he's going to see the court against Valpo. The Crusaders might pick up some steam. They won a miracle game against Milwaukee this week and now have a hobbled foe coming in off a letdown spot. I think that Valparaiso picks up this win and we collect with them.

        1.5-Unit Play. Take #612 Troy (-3.5) over Denver (8:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 2)
        Denver is a really good team but this is still one of the worst road teams in the country. By far, bar none. They are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-5 ATS as a road dog. They are now on the road to face one of the most experienced teams in the league and one of the conference's top teams. Denver barely held off Arkansas State without its best player this week for the Pioneers' lone road win this season. Either Arkansas State is better than I think and we're going to lose both of these Sun Belt plays or I'm spot-on here and we could sweep the pair. I like the home team to extend Denver's road woes.

              Arkansas/East Carolina UNDER 63.5

              The Razorbacks were the highest scoring team in the SEC, averaging 37.3 points a game to rank eighth in the country. They did most of their damage through the air as the running game produced only 136 yards a game. But behind the strong arm of QB Ryan Mallett, who led the SEC, the Razorbacks produced 303.3 yards per game passing; that being said, with a few weeks to prepare for this game, I expect Mallett to struggle to begin with against a speedy Pirates defense.

              It's interesting to note that Arkansas has seen the total go "under" the posted number four of seven contests this year when playing against a team with a winning record and in three of its last four off a loss against a conference rival.

              On the other side of the field: East Carolina (9-4) returns to the Liberty Bowl for the second consecutive season after defeating then-No. 18 Houston 38-32 in the Conference USA championship game. The Pirates are the first team to win consecutive titles since the conference switched to a two-division format in 2005.

              The Pirates have forced at least one turnover in 29 consecutive games, with 19 takeaways in the past seven games; East Carolina has notched 20 sacks in the past eight games. LB Nick Johnson has a team-high 94 tackles and DT Linval Joseph has a team-high 12.5 TFL.

              First-team all-conference DE C.J. Wilson (5.5 sacks) and DT Linval Joseph (12.5 tackles for loss) anchor a defense that ranked third in C-USA in TFL and fourth in sacks.

              The Pirates have seen the total go "under" the posted number in four of five games this year when playing against a team with a winning record and in three of four games after two or more consecutive wins this season.

              QB Patrick Pinkney has had a great run down the stretch, but I expect most of today's offense to center around RB Dominique Lindsay; the senior is the first Pirate to rush for 1,000 yards (1,029) since Chris Johnson tallied 1,423 yards in 2007. He averages 5.0 yards per carry and posted four 100-yard games this season.

              Bottom line: Look for East Carolina to get into the backfield and disrupt Mallet's rhythm; when coupled with this strong O/U trends exhibited by both teams, the sharp money in this one is on the UNDER!

              *9* UNDER.

                      triple-dime bet 257 Arkansas -7.5 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 258 East Carolina
                      Analysis:
                      Play on Arkansas at 5:30 ET. In just his second season in Fayetteville, Bobby Petrino has turned Arkansas into a winner. Last year's team went just 5-7 straight up, but considering the Razorbacks faced the fifth toughest schedule in the nation and used 16 true freshman, it could have been much worse. In four seperate games a Hogs QB posted a top 10 passing day in the history of the program as Petrino began to integrate his high-scoring offensive ways. That manifested itself this year as the team went 4-1 SU/ATS down the stretch, averaging 44.8 PPG, with the only loss coming against LSU. They also scored 41+ in four of their first five games with the outlier coming in their only bad loss of the season, which came at #1 Alabama. In the two games in between, they lost to Florida and Ole Miss, which is no shame, especially when you consider they were leading in the 4th quarter vs. the Gators, something that was also the case vs. LSU. There is plenty of enthusiasm surrounding the program right now, with the full allottment of 21,000 tickets being sold for this game, which is being played relatively close to home. This was a great spread team, covering seven of its final nine. East Carolina is making its second consecutive Liberty Bowl appearance, having lost outright to Kentucky last year. That opponent is nowhere near the class of what the Pirates will face this year. ECU seemed to "go backwards" all season long, losing all three road games vs. bowl opponents by double-digits and not covering a single one of them. Yes, they won another Conference USA title beating what was perceived to be a pretty good Houston team. But that win doesn't look nearly as good as it did two weeks ago with the Cougars getting drubbed by Air Force on New Year's Eve + it was a home game. ECU was pretty fortunate to even get to that spot as they were 5-0 SU in games decided by six points or less. We'll see their true colors here. Arkansas is our CFB "VEGAS ICON."

                        DOC SPORTS NBA

                        3-Unit Play #509 Take Toronto/Boston OVER 193 ½ (7:30 p.m. EST, Saturday)

                        Toronto has one of the worst road defenses in the NBA and they give up an average of 110 per game on the road. Boston has some key players out tonight and we think this will affect their defensive prowess more than their offense – anyone can really score on Toronto and we don’t see offensive production being a problem for the Celts tonight. Boston averages 103 PPG at home this season and we think they can get there tonight and Toronto should make up the rest to get this one over the posted number. When these teams met in November the total reached 219.



                        3-Unit Play #512 Take New Orleans -2 ½ Over Houston (8 p.m. EST, Saturday)

                        Love the Hornets tonight laying this small number. New Orleans is one of the best home squads in the NBA at 12-3 on the season while Houston, although better than most on the road, is still a .500 road club. They have dropped four of their last six road games and one of their road wins came against New Jersey so that hardly counts. The Hornets have won four straight here and this team just plays with a lot more swagger on their home court and they also tend to clamp down defensively here more than they do on the road.



                        4-Unit Play #521 Take Golden State/Portland UNDER 210 ½ (10 p.m. EST, Saturday)

                        15 of the last 21 meetings in this series have gone under and we had this line pegged at 207 and would have gave the under a serious look at that number so there is nice value here in our minds. Portland is a strong defensive team and they allow only 93 points per game at home. These two teams met in November and the total reached only 202, and that was with Golden State hitting better than 50 percent from three-point land. Portland has not played a non-OT game with a score that combined for more than 207 since late November. Very long injury lists for both teams and we hope that means some out-of-synch offenses tonight.

                              Michigan State vs. Texas Tech (NCAAF) - 9:00 PM EST Premium Play
                              Pick: Point Spread: 7.5/-107 Michigan State Play Title: MSU
                              Click Here to View Pick Analysis
                              Ai Simulator 10* graded play on MSU as they take on Texas Tech set to start at 9:00 EST in the Alamo Bowl taking place in San Antonio. AiS shows an 84% probability that MSU will lose this game by 7 or fewer points. Turnovers will be a big factor in this game and the AiS shows a 92% probability that TT will have more turnovers than MSU. Note that MSU is a solid 13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) in road games when their defense forces 3 turnovers since 1992. AiS shows an 80% probability that TT will have 3 turnovers. TT is just 4-18 ATS (-15.8 Units) in road games when they commit 1 more turnover than their opponents since 1992; 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) after having won 5 or 6 out of their last 7 games over the last 3 seasons. I have no problem adding a 3* amount to this play on the money line. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 36-32 against the money line making 33.6 units since 1999. Play against neutral field favorites versus the money line in a non-conference game between two teams from major division 1-A conferences and with an inexperienced QB as starter. I am also playing against an inexperienced play calling coach as well. Leech had a feel for his team and is a great game coach. To now have an assistant take over that responsibility and the pressure associated with it will lead to poor decisions and poor execution. MSU has several suspensions due to a campus fight, but they have depth and their best receiver Blair White will enjoy significant advantages in man coverage. MSU is going to contain the TT pass rush and their DE Sharpe and Howard. Take MSU.

                                Mississippi (8-4) vs. Oklahoma State (9-3)

                                This is the first Cotton Bowl since 2004 for the Cowboys when they lost to these same Rebels of Ole Miss. The Cowboys are off a shutout loss in the Bedlam Rivalry with the Oklahoma Sooners (27-0) and that game cost them a BCS appearance. The biggest addition to the Oklahoma State program this season was that of DC Bill Young as he solidified the Cowboys Defense. From what we saw on the field down the stretch this season from OK State offensively, they really showed the effects of the suspension of WR Dez Bryant. After Bryant's suspension the Cowboys posted (25.8 ppg) as opposed to their (39 ppg) prior. The Rebels will count on the leadership of (22) seniors to get them over a horrible loss to rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. The Rebs ride a (7) game win streak against non-conference opponents and Ole Miss has been a solid Bowl team with a (6-1-1) ATS mark the past (8) post season games. This is the final game at the control of the "Wild Rebel Offense" for QB Jevon Snead and we look for a huge game from him here. Mississippi is (4-0-1) ATS against the Big XII Conference in Bowl Game action and the Cowboys are (0-3-1) ATS in their past (4) Bowl Games when installed as the underdog. We'll take HC Houston Nutt against his Alma Mater and former player as the Ole Miss Rebels win the Cotton Bowl. 3* Mississippi Rebels


                                East Carolina (9-4) vs. Arkansas (7-5)

                                Arkansas fans are "Hog Wild" over the fact that their team has a Bowl Game and the Razorback faithful bought 15,000 seats for this game just (319) miles from Fayettville. Arkansas played well down the stretch going (4-1) ATS and scoring (44.8 ppg) behind QB Ryan Mallet as he has led the Hogs with some impressive & explosive numbers which include (6.8) yards per play and (37 ppg). Only a couple of gut wrenching losses to Florida and LSU kept the Razorbacks out of a more high profile game. The competition will be stiff here as HC Skip Holtz and his Pirates return to this Bowl Game for the second straight season after capturing their second consecutive Conference USA Title. The ECU defense has allowed (22 pts) per game and (386 yds) but they haven't seen a passing attack with the speed and precision like Arkansas has. One of the worst pass defenses through the air, the Pirates must put pressure on Mallet. ECU does return (16) starters and they average (34 ppg) this season's past (7) games. The Pirates have posted winning Over the Total ATS wins in (4) of (5) Bowl Games, and this Pirate - Hog match-up promises to be entertaining offensively - so let the scoring begin in Elvis' Backyard. 5* Pot of Gold Arkansas - East Carolina Over the Total


                                Michigan State (6-6) vs. Texas Tech (8-4)

                                Texas Tech's pass happy HC Mike Leach and his Red Raiders "Red Gun Offense" has ran out of bullets as he was sent packing prior to their 10th straight Bowl Game under his direction and his former team brings the 9th ranked scoring offense in college football averaging 37 ppg. Twice this season the Red Raiders have thrown 8 touchdown passes in a game. Spartan HC Mark Dantonio has MSU in their 3rd straight Bowl Game for the 1st time since the mid 90's. Suspensions and Dismissals from the Spartan Football Program has an already depleted and beleaguered secondary that ranks as the poorest in the Big Ten Conference set up to struggle even more. The Spartans Pass Defense has surrendered 16 touchdown passes with only 1 interception the past 6 games and in their past three conference games Michigan State has been hit up for over 500 yds per game. Can the Big Ten's poorest pass defense slow down the Big XII's best passing attack ? For all the right reasons nobody gives the Spartans a chance here with (12) player suspensions, so what can we expect ? We know that the underdog is in Texas Tech Bowl Games are a solid (9-2) ATS and we also know that Big XII favorites of (-7+) or more are (5-17-1) ATS, just 27%. Add to the mix that when the Big Ten and Big XII hook-up the underdogs are are (14-4) ATS for 78%. And we know that Big Ten underdogs of (+4+ Points) are (20-9-1) ATS. The Big Ten representative has cashed a winning ticket at a (10-3) ATS mark in the Alamo Bowl. The only teams that have had success against the Red Raiders are those that held them under their average rushing yards and made them turn the ball over. Every Bowl Season some team looks as though they haven't got a prayer due to the loss of players through elgibility or suspensions. We can't count the Spartans out here as being one of those teams, because HC Mark Dantonio is a great game manager and this will be a better contest than anyone expects. 3* Michigan State Spartans
