Monday's 2-0 Sweep ...
20 DIME college football selection on VIRGINIA TECH over Boise State in a neutral-site contest from FedEx Field in Maryland. The line in this contest is fluatuating between Boise as a one-point favorite and a pick-em. I expect late public money to come in on the popular Broncos, so it might be wise to monietor the odds and grab the extra half-point or point should this number rise.
5 DIME baseball selection on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS over the Rangers in a matinee affair from Canada. The Blue Jays are a home favorite ranging from -135 to -140 deperding on where you shop. Note that you must list Ricky Romero as Toronto’s starting pitcher. If Romero does not start, this play is VOID!Comment

3 Units Navy / Maryland Over 48.5
Navy doesn't return any starters in their line backing group and only two out of seven starters on their front seven. Last season they struggled a little against power running teams such as Pittsburgh, Ohio State, and Temple. They had a good year statistically last year, but that was also boosted by playing weak offenses such as Louisiana Tech, Western Kentucky, Wake Forest, Rice, and Army. The better offenses they played had success moving the ball, despite all of the experience in the defense. However, I expect Navy's offense to be dominant this season. They return Ricky Dobbs, arguably the best quarterback in the last 20 years for Navy, as well as their two dominant left and right tackles, which is critical to their triple option offense. They also get their outstanding fullback back, and that position is so critical in this offense to keeping defenses honest. Last season the Maryland defense really struggled, giving up an average of 31 points per game and almost 400 yards per game. The Terps gave up over 30 points per game seven times last season, getting torched by every quality offense they faced. I don't look for that to dramatically change this season, and Navy's offense will be very tough for this undisciplined unit to stop. However, Maryland has some good athletes returning on offense. Navy's defense will have a hard time stopping the athletic quarterback Jamarr Robinson, who has playing experience from last season and is a junior. Last season tailback Da'Rel Scott had a problem with a broken wrist, after a great season two years ago. However, he's healthy now and should be able to run well behind three returning offensive linemen. Navy has a history of playing shootout style games against better opponents and matching score for score. I look for both teams to approach close to 30 points.Comment

Monday
20 Dime - Virginia Tech
Ok have we heard enough about poor little Boise St this week?? How they aren't included in the BCS and how they have to be so dominant and win every game just to get a supposed "shot" at a national title game. We're supposed to just throw out the fact that they play one of the easiest schedules on the planet after their opener. Last season they had the 76th hardest schedule among BCS ranked teams. This year may be even easier. However tonight they will play one and done for their shot.
They have been set up by the pollsters to get their shot should they remain undefeated throughout the season, by ranking them higher than they ever have been. Boise is a very public team and they love to bet on them, because they usually cover the big spreads. Take nothing away from them. On a given day they can give anyone trouble, but these games in the regular season are different than meaningless bowl games against disinterested opponents. Boise returns almost their entire team intact from last season, especially on defense. This team shut down a powerful Oregon attack last year in their opener but Tech will be ready for them. Lines makers opened them at -2.5 but for being such a public team someone is not buying what their selling in this game, since the line has gone down! I fully expect the public to get much more involved in this game on game day, when they usually do. So going back to their original number would not surprise me. In fact, keep an eye on this line and if you see it creeping back up, then wait for the best possible Tech number. possible 2-2.5 again. This line touched 3 in a few places but never went through the 3.
Boise is very good at shutting down the mobil QB and Thyrod Taylor of Tech is certainly that, however he did lead the nation in 20 + yard completions so he can strike quickly with the deep ball. But I believe it will be the tremendous running attack that Va Tech can unleash that will be the key difference. They will throw two 1000 yard rushers at the Boise defense and there may not be a better tandem in college football. I also look for Frank Beamer to make life in the pocket very uncomfortable for Kellen Moore, kinda like what he did against Jacory Harris of Miami last year. Plenty of blitzes and getting in his face. Plus we can never underestimate the Hokies special teams who always come up with a game changing play when they need one.
I truly think that there just might be too much pressure on Boise in this one. They have complained and whined and told the Senators that the BCS is not playing fair. Here is their one and only shot. Win, and you get to keep going. Lose and your season is pretty much done and they will be fade material all year. Too much pressure and too much hype for my liking. The silence has been deafening from the Hokies and they are being disrespected BIG TIME!Comment

3* Tampa Bay +145
Devil Rays are 40-27 on the road which is actually a better mark than Boston at home. The Red Sox are just 5-10 against Tampa this season and are struggling with a 3-7 mark in their last 10 games overall. Rays are 31-15 against lefties this year and 14-5 in Niemann’s night time outings.Comment
