Pick: 3 units on Auburn +3 (-105) (risk 3 to win 2.9)

The Mountaineers were supposed to contend for a National Title contender this season, with Pat White and Noel Devine spearheading a big offense. After back-to-back losses to East Carolina and Colorado, those hopes went down the drain. They have since won three straight, but this team remains 1-4 ATS on the season. While last year's Mountaineers offense produced 28+ points in 11 of 13 games, this year's version has yet to put up 28+ against any Division I teams. The concern intensifies when you realize that they have played against average defenses (their opponents own an average defensive rank of 75th out of 120 teams). The problem is White does not have the receivers to throw down field. Not a single reciever is averaging over 10 yards per catch. Teams know they can stack the line, stop the run, and get a win. The Tigers have struggled offensively themselves, but unlike West Virginia, Auburn has played some excellent teams (Mississippi State, LSU, Tennessee and Vandy). Despite the schedule and having to face those caliber teams, the Tigers have been in every game. They lost by 5 to LSU, representing their largest margin of defeat of the season! If West Virginia can't move the ball on poor defensive teams, they will certainly struggle against the Tigers' 14th ranked stop unit. Live dog here!

105 New Mexico Lobos +5

2-Units (7:00 P.M. CST)

New Mexico's defense has really stepped up their level of play over their last 3 games, allowing a total of 28 points scored, while giving up a total of 269 yards a game. On offense they rely heavily on a rushing attack that has averaged 223 yards a game this season, and 293 yards a game over their last 3 games. And yes, I know that New Mexico faced two to the worst teams in the Mountain West Conference in Wyoming and San Diego St. But they also held a very good BYU team to just 21 points scored a couple of weeks ago. Air Force comes in also relying heavily on the running game, averaging 300 yards a game on the season, and 324 over their last 3 games. They are a solid team defensively allowing 304 total yards a game which ranks 28th nationally. Both teams are so successful rushing the ball, that they very rarely have to pass. This accounts for the less than average numbers in the passing game for both teams. This is an indication that the team that is able to stop the run will have the best chance at winning this game. The New Mexico Lobos have the 22nd ranked rushing defense in the nation, and although they will have their hands full, should be able to slow down the Air Force rushing attack. Lets side with the better defensive team in this Thursday night match up.

Take the New Mexico Lobos +5 for 2-Units.

LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR): WEST VIRGINIA -3 ^^^ Pat White will be back tonight and word is he has looked awesome in practice. It's no secret that WV needs to open up the offense and they have been preaching it. Auburn offense is sluggish at best and though they have a very good defense, injuries are abound on the line and in the secondary. We might be looking at some smoke and mirrors here as far as Auburns defense as you have to ask yourself, what offense have they faced that is a high output offense. Only Arkansas comes to mind and that's stretching it but you saw what Arkansas was able to do against Auburn. WV defense is very under rated and should do well against a Auburn Qb who just forces too many plays opening the door for some INT's tonight. Take the small line with this home Fave.

LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR): NEW MEXICO +5.5 ^^^^ Air Force is playing this game on a short week. We love these under the radar teams. Record doesn’t do New Mexico justice as their first four games were very tough. They did beat Arizona who just knocked the socks off of California, so maybe that early schedule has helped New Mexico as they have already taken their hardest hits other than Utah left on the schedule. Air force is now 3-9 on Thursday Night TV.

LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR): TAMPA BAY RAYS ( NAME SHIELDS) ^^^^ We did it right going with Philly last night as we expected a letdown after Tampa just got done with a battle with Boston. Bats were stale and they were facing a lefty. It all changes tonight as we feel confident, the bats swing back to form as TB got a dose of reality last night. Let’s remember they have the best home record in the league but nothing is going to given to them and they found that out last night. Tampa gets what they want tonight in a right handed pitcher where they have feasted and throw in Brett Myers is 3-8 in 16 road starts with a 6.21 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and .301 BAA. Philly went 5-11 in those 16 road games. Shields is a terror at home recording a 9-2 record this season at home in the dome as Tampa Bay went 14-3 all total in those games. Take the Rays to even it up

LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR): DALLAS -120 (NHL) ^^^ NO WRITEUP

Lenny Del Genio's 25* World Series Game of the YEAR (won Game 1)
Play on Tampa Bay at 8:20 ET. As predicted here, the Phillies got the road win they needed in Game One behind ace Cole Hamels, but asking them to win back-to-back games against the best home team in the majors is too much. Tonight, they have Brett Myers, not Cole Hamels, on the hill. Philadelphia has lost 11 of Myers? 16 road starts this season and his ERA outside the City of the Brotherly Love is a pitiful 6.21. Rays? Game 2 starter James Shields, on the other hand, has been sensational at home this year. Tampa Bay has won 14 of his 17 starts at Tropicana Field. And while the Rays offense struggles vs. lefties (as noted yesterday), they demolish righties to the tune of 5.1 runs/per game. After scoring two runs or less this season, the Rays are 33-12 in their next game. Tampa Bay is our 25* World Series Game of the Year.

Good luck, Lenny
