MARC LAWRENCE PLAYBOOK

CINCINNATI over S Florida by 1
These two teams were expected to contend for the Big East championship
but following last week’s depressing defeats, tonight’s game takes on an
air of desperation. USF fl opped as a road favorite at Louisville, done in by
109 yards worth of penalties and a record-low EIGHT yards rushing. Cincy
also took the bullet as road chalk at UConn, rushing for just 30 yards as the
Huskies broke open a close game with 20 points in the 4th quarter. The Bulls,
who were as high as No. 10 in the rankings, have now dropped two of their
past three games and would have been a SMART BOX ‘Play On’ here had
they showed up wearing the dog collar. They’ll arrive as favorites instead,
so we’ll gladly take the points with a Bearcats team that has covered four
straight in the series, winning SU as road dogs at Tampa last year. Check the
status of Cincinnati QB Tony Pike – he started against Connecticut for the
fi rst time since breaking his non-throwing arm back in September but did
not return after halftime.

South Florida vs. Cincinnati U (NCAAF) - 7:45 PM EDT
Selected Point Spread: 2.5/-102 Cincinnati

South Florida has proven to be mildly overrated with neither the offense nor the defense as good as expected. The offensive line had been pass-blocking better, but when RT Marc Dile went down against Louisville, the flood gates opened and quarterback Matt Grothe was sacked a season-high five times. The Bulls also were held to a school-record low of eight net yards rushing. Cincinnati was blasted by UConn last week and has serious quarterback issues having to make two offensive gameplans for whomever can play. Off a loss, the Bearcats 6-0 ATS record off a road loss over the last three seasons and 5-1-1 ATS after failing to score 20 points. Both Big East teams are faced with must win situations, with South Florida 0-8 ATS in last eight meetings with teams with winning records, with Cincinnati 10-4-1 ATS in the same spot. Bearcats claw to win.

So Florida (-2½) over Cincinnati
7:30 PM -- Nippert Stadium
There are many reasons I upgraded this game from 10 units to 50 units but the biggest of those was the simple fact Cincinnati has no quarterback, with the first three guys on the depth chart out with injuries. This means the Bearcats are down to playing the scrubs at quarterback, and that won't get it done against a very good South Florida team still stinging from a 24-20 loss at Louisville on Saturday. To illustrate the decline in Cincinnati's offense since it lost all its quarterback, please note in the first three games of the season the team averaged 37 points per game. In their last four the Bearcats have averaged 19. If one digs deeper, one sees that defenses know the limitations of the offense and key on that. No fact better illustrates this than Cincinnati is 0-for-25 on its last 25 third down conversions. Cincinnati (5-2) will most certainly come to play, and will try to win the game with a good defense, but South Florida (6-2) has all the tools to overcome everything and get the money.

triple-dime bet305 South Florida -2.5 (-110) BetUS vs 306 Cincinnati
Analysis: How crazy is it that the lone ranked team in the Big East could drop to 1-3 in the conference with a loss in this game? The 24th-ranked South Florida Bulls simply can't afford for that to happen, and they will be out for big-time revenge in this game after losing 38-33 at home to Cincinnati a year ago. Both teams are coming off losses last week, but the Bearcats are in much worse shape considering their current quarterback situation. Tony Pike is questionable with a hand injury, which could force redshirt freshman Chazz Anderson into action yet again. Anderson had a very tough time in a 40-16 loss at UConn after he relieved Pike in the second half. Cincy actually led that game 13-10, showing the dramatic drop-off from Pike to Anderson. South Florida's aggressive defense will look to attack whoever is under center and extend an 0-for-25 streak on third-down conversions for the Bearcats. We have a gift with the line here because the Bulls are coming off a tough 24-20 loss at Louisville last week as four-point road favorites. Let's take advantage of this must-win situation and cash my Triple Dime Big East Play O' the Month on South Florida

Matty O'Shea | NBA Total
dime bet506 PHO / 505 NOH OVER 197.0 Bodog
Analysis: The oddsmakers have made a monster over-adjustment on the total for these teams tonight, and I'm simply not buying into it. The Hornets won all four meetings between these teams a year ago, with all of them seeing at least 199 points scored. In fact, the last three meetings saw an average of nearly 239 points scored. Granted, Mike D'Antoni isn't around anymore in Phoenix, but that still didn't stop the Suns from going OVER the total in their season-opening 103-98 win at San Antonio on Wednesday night. New Orleans also saw the OVER cash in a 108-103 victory at Golden State, and both teams playing back-to-back nights here should only hurt the defense and help the OVER cash for us. Bet the Suns and Hornets to go OVER the total as my Single Dime NBA TV Total Play O' the Day.

Here is my selection for tonight's College Football contest between South Florida & Cincinnati:

I went 2-1 on Tuesday for a small profit of 2.49 units and with the season approaching November it is time for me to heat up and make it a November to remember(I know the saying is overused). Here is my selection for this evening's contest:

305 South Florida/Cincinnati Over 51 +1.10 (4 Unit Play)-South Florida is currently bowl eligible but stands at only 1-2 in the Big East Conference and a loss here tonight pretty much ends their bid to win the conference title this year. Cincinnati meanwhile is 1-1 in the Big East Conference but 5-2 on the year and a win here tonight makes them bowl eligible as well as a contender still for the conference title. South Florida has really been struggling to defend the pass this year and last week allowed Louisville to gain 10.1 YPPA and two weeks ago were also ripped by a Pittsburgh squad through the air. I know that Cincinnati struggled last week through the air against Connecticut but the weather conditions were not great and then they lost starting QB Pike in the first half but backup QB Anderson performed well and actually played well the past couple of weeks in the two starting QB's absences. Cincinnati's defense has actually performed pretty well all year but the only truly outstanding offense they have met this year is Oklahoma's and while I am not comparing South Florida's offense to Oklahoma they are capable of putting up some numbers tonight against the Bearcat defense. These two teams could both score at least 28 points tonight and if that happens this game easily cashes on the Over and I think that is the safe play here tonight. The public seems to be betting this game Under so you may get a better number as the game approaches. The weather should not be a factor this evening and I look for some fireworks on ESPN tonight.

triple-dime bet504 DAL -4.0 (-110) BetUS vs 503 HOU
Analysis:
New coaches with capable teams have certainly made an impression early on in the 2008/09 season....I expect this to continue tonight in a big way with the Dallas Mavericks and Rick Carlisle.



Dallas welcomes in a Houston Rockets team that's coming off a home-opening win against Memphis - but it was far from impressive. Playmaking forward Tracy McGrady will certainly see limited action tonight, as he's far from 100% and the situation calls for far fewer minutes than usual.



The Mavericks are still one of the elite Western Conference teams and will now have a full season with point guard Jason Kidd to make things right.



Being one of the best home teams in the NBA has its advantages and the winning team in this series is a PERFECT 10-0 ATS in the last ten meetings - managing to cover the number by more than 13 points on average.



Lay the points and cash with a hungry home team tonight!

Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons | NHL Money Line
double-dime bet14 STL (-120)Bodog vs 13 CAR
Analysis: ST LOUIS BLUES ? Oddly enough, after struggling with injuries at the goaltender position, the Blues may now have more netminders than they no what to do with! Chris Mason, the regular back-up, got hurt early this season. That?s why, when starter Manny Legace suffered a minor injury, the duties went to the young #3 guy Ben Bishop. The 6?7 goalie was actually quite solid between the pipes but then he suffered a minor injury in the Blues most recent game, a 4-0 win, and that forced goalie Marek Schwarz into action. St Louis has now weathered the storm and it looks like Legace and Mason could both be ready to go tonight. Legace was hurt in the Blues 4-0 loss to the Kings last week. In the previous game, St Louis suffered a 4-3 loss at the hands of the Red Wings. Detroit, of course, is the defending Stanley Cup Champs. As for the loss to the Kings, the goalie injury certainly disrupted the team. The point is that the Blues are 5-1 in their other six games this season and they?ve put a real emphasis on winning the home games since the new management took over in St Louis. That was something they stressed from the beginning and they could be catching Carolina at just the right time! The Hurricanes just lost in the shootout at Montreal on Tuesday and that was Carolina?s fourth loss in their last six games. This will also be the Canes final game of a brutal six game road trip. After playing at home on the East Coast in mid-October, the Hurricanes went all the way out west to play two games in California. They then came back east to Pittsburgh and then further east to Long Island to face the Islanders. Next it was up into to Canada for a visit to the Bell Centre. Now it?s back down to the Midwest to face the Blues in St Louis. What were the schedule makers thinking? The fact is they certainly didn?t have the Hurricanes best interests in mind and Carolina can?t help but look ahead to finally having a home game on Saturday. That leaves them susceptible to a blowout road loss here and the Blues have certainly proven fully capable of that. St Louis has recorded three of their five victories by margins of three goals or more. Another big win on tap here!

South Florida -2.5 over Cincinnati
This is a tough game to wager on tonight. South Florida has not looked sharp and Cincinnati has a ton of QB issues. South Florida does have a good QB in Matt Grothe and for four quarters its going to be tough for Cincy to keep up with the Bulls offense. Cincinnati is a good home team, but they would need to play perfect defense and to get a lot of turnovers to win this game. I don't see it happening. Take South Florida.
