Troy vs. Middle Tenn St (NCAAF) - Oct 5, 2010 8:00 PM EDT
Play: Point Spread: -3.5/107 Middle Tenn St
4* Middle Tenn st - We are going to lay the points here tonight as the Blue Raiders try to avoid losing to Troy for the 4th staight year. But the big news is Dwight Dasher, who returns after a 4 game suspension. He is a very good college player. He accounted for 37 of the teams 51 TD's last year. Both teams are 2-2 and 1-0 in conference play. Both teams will be in the spot light tonight, and I think Dasher will make the most of it. Lay the points here. 4* MIDDLE TENN ST

5 DIME college football selection on TROY plus the points against Middle Tennessee State in natianally televised Sun Belt Conference action. Troy is catching 3½ points across the board both here in Vegas and offsihore. Go ahead and buy the half point with the Trojans to take that number from +3½ to +4 – we’re doing this to protect ourselves in case this game (which very easily could go to overtime) ends at 38-34, 35-31, 28-24, 21-17, etc.








TROY








The good news for Middle Tennessee State tonight: They finally get back star quarterback Dwight Dasher (the preseason Sun Belt Conference Offensive Player of the Year was suspended for the first four games for accepting a loan in violation of NCAA rules).





The bad news for Middle Tennessee State tonight: They finally get back star quarterback Dwight Dasher.





See, Dasher last year was a force in 12 of the Blue Raiders’ 13 ballgames, becoming just the fourth player in NCAA history to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing and 2,500 yards passing. The only team to figure him out? Troy. In a 31-7 loss, Dasher finished 24-for-44 for 245 yards, one TD and one INT, and added 53 yards rushing, but much of that production came in the second half after the game was decided; in the first half, he went just 6-for-21.





The two previous years, Dasher played sparingly against Troy and went 0-for-5, was sacked twice, lost two fumbles and had minus-23 rushing yards on nine carries. And Troy rolled to wins of 45-7 and 31-17. (In fact, the Trojans are on a 4-0 SU and ATS run in this rivalry.)





All of this proves that Troy has Dasher’s number, and the senior knows it, telling a local publication this week that “I grade myself each game and they (Troy) are the only team that I think I’ve never played good against.” The one bright spot for Dasher is the fact the Trojans’ are struggling defensively, allowing 32 points and 459 yards per game (including 295.5 passing yards per game). However, how long will it take Dasher to shake of the rust (he hasn’t played in a game in 10 months)? And if he struggles early on, how much will that impact his confidence, knowing he hasn’t performed well in his career against this opponent?





For MTSU’s sake, Dasher better shake off the rust quickly, because while Troy has struggled defensively, the Trojans’ offense is clicking, scoring 30, 38, 33 and 35 points in four games while averaging 479 yards per game (including 317.2 through the air and 162 on the ground). And even though Troy split those four games, their two losses came on the road by a combined four points (41-38 at Oklahoma State, which is undefeated; 34-33 at UAB). MTSU is also 2-2, but its two victories were against Louisiana-Lafayette and Division I-AA Austin Peay.





Not only is it on a 4-0 SU and ATS roll in this rivalry, but Troy has cashed four straight times when playing in the Tuesday night spotlight and it is on additional ATS runs of 21-7 in conference, 9-4-1 as an underdog and 5-0 in October. The Blue Raiders, on the other hand, are 2-5 ATS in their last seven when laying 3½ to 10 points at home and 0-4 ATS in their last four on Tuesday.

WUNDERDOG
Game: Texas at Tampa Bay (1:35 PM Eastern)
5 UNIT* Pick: Texas +120 (moneyline)

The Rangers will wheel out their August addition in Cliff Lee. He will be opposed by American League All-Star game starting pitcher in David Price. Price had a great season from start to finish, posting 19 wins, with a 2.72 ERA. But Cliff Lee hasn't been far behind. He's got a 3.18 ERA in 28 games and he's been on fire of late, posting a 2.25 ERA in his last three games, allowing only 5 earned runs and 3 walks with 19 K's. The Rays have limped into postseason play, losing five of their last eight games, averaging just 2 runs per game over that span. Their offense has underperformed at home all season (they score nearly a run per game better on the road). The past two seasons, the Rangers are 65-66 as an underdog including 23-20 this season. This game is in their sweet spot. On the road this season they are 17-11 as a road dog of up to +125. Cliff lee is 30-23 as a road dog. I like the Rangers to surprise and grab the win here.

Washington at Dallas (Tuesday NBA)

Washington at Dallas over 195

The NBA exhibition season is just starting and my first play is for this game to go over 195. The teams have many new players but each coach is in their second year. When these two met almost a year ago in the preseason (Oct. 9, 2009) the score was 123-115. John Wall should start for the Wizards tonight.

Last year, Dallas averaged 219 points in their first 4 exhibition games while Washington put up 208 in its first 6. I think we have a good chance for an over tonight.

THE DUKE SPORTS

Middle Tenn State (-3) for 1.5 Units *'

The Trojans have gotten the best of this series -- winning 4 straight but should experience some trouble here. The Blue Raiders will have senior record setting QB Dasher tonight. He's coming off a suspension. He led the Blue Raiders to the #7 offense in the nation last year yet struggled vs the Trojans. However, he has a veteran line and good skill supporting players to put a dent in a very young Troy defense hit with graduation losses that is allowing nearly 33 ppg. Offensively, the Trojans are cooking with first year QB starter Robinson, who has a good cast of weapons. However, as talented as the Troy offense is, they are mistake prone. They put the ball on the carpet one too many times over the last 3 games and it should cost them tonight. It is "Blackout" day for MTSU in which the players will be dressed in full black uniforms and the crowd will be in a frenzy. We'll look for mistakes by Troy to be costly and allow MTSU to deliver here. MTSU is 4-0 ATS after allowing less than 20 points in previous game, 14-5 ATS in October, and 5-2 as home chalk. We'll look for the Blue Raiders to finally control the Palladium trophy.
