double-dime bet104 West Virginia -3.0 (-110) BetUS vs 103 Auburn
Analysis: NCAAF: Auburn Tigers at West Virginia Mountaineers - West Virginia -3 -110 | Unit Value: 2 UNIT "Beatdown"
Game Date: 10/23/2008
Note: It is quite unusual for me to play against an SEC School in a non-conference game but there are plenty of reasons to do just that tonight. The loss that Auburn suffered to LSU on 9/20 was a hard blow for this team and they have been in a tailspin ever sice. They have fired their offensive coordinator, Tuberville is already rumored to be looking for other coaching jobs. Focus has got to be a problem right now for them. They also have serious injuries on the defensive side of the field. That was very evident last game verses Arkansas, allowing the Hogs to score often back at home and ended the game with a negative 223 yard mark. This short week of preparation does not allow them to heal from the loss of personel and they will play one of the more prolific offenses in the country tonight. The Auburn problems do not end on defense. They have a limited QB that has thrown more INT's than TD's. We all know the problems the Tigers have scoring this year and playing a bunch of fired up Mountaineers tonight is not what the Doctor ordered. Consider this: Auburn has had serious turnover issues this year. The Home team is 46-2 last 48 games when they force more TO's than they have. Our team loves to play SEC Schools and they have won their last 4 times when doing so. Morgantown is going to be a loud and uncomfortable place to be tonight for Auburn so I will lay the 3 points.Comment

double-dime bet105 New Mexico 5.0 (-110) Bodog vs 106 Air Force
Analysis: NEW MEXICO ? Air Force has covered four straight in this series but New Mexico did win last season?s match-up straight-up to put an end to the Falcons three consecutive straight-up wins in this series. One of the key advantages for the Lobos in matching up with Air Force is that New Mexico head coach Rocky Long has great knowledge of the option. Even though the Falcons have managed to get the cover in recent meetings with the Lobos, New Mexico actually has done a good job against the Air Force option attack. Offensively, the Lobos certainly got to ?warm up? their attack last week as they scored 70 points in totally dominating San Diego State. While New Mexico comes in off of an easy win, the Falcons barely squeaked by UNLV last week in a one-point non-covering win. Air Force did allow over 400 yards of offense last week and the key was the success of their ground game but that same option attack will not fare as well against the Lobos defense. Also, Air Force has failed to cover 6 of the last 7 times in the week before the Army game. Even though Falcons head coach denies it, the service games do mean a lot to this academy school. Also, the Lobos were able to force a lot of fumbles against the Falcons in last season?s match-up and they will look to disrupt the Air Force offense in the same manner in this season?s match-up. Also, last season we saw dropped passes cost the Lobos a ton of yardage through the air and yet New Mexico still hung on for the win. Additionally, the Falcons first touchdown in that game (among 31 points they scored) was truly a gift after the Lobos fumbled insider their own 20 yard line. The point being that New Mexico?s defense played quite well in last season?s game and this season they have even more team speed! This has been a key to the Lobos defensive success this season and it will be a key to them once again shutting down the Falcons option attack on Thursday night. That will lead to a cover and, quite likely, an outright win for the Lobos!Comment

double-dime bet12 COL (-143)BetUS vs 11 EDM
Analysis:
AVALANCHE ? The Avalanche lost their home opener to the Bruins on a late goal. Since that early loss they have won three of their last five even though four of those five games were on the road. Now the Avs get a chance to avenge one of those road losses as they host the Oilers. The Avalanche lost at Edmonton 3-2 on Sunday October 12th. That?s the only time this season that the potent Colorado offensive attack has been held under four goals and tonight, at home, the Avalanche will do something about it! The Avs will take advantage of an Oilers club that is playing the second night of a back to back situation and that could already be looking ahead to a big battle at Vancouver on Saturday. Yes, this is also a division rival tonight but the Oilers are especially mindful of their rivals up in Western Canada ? the Canucks and the Flames. The problem for the Oilers is they?ve come out as the flatter team in recent games and have had to overcome that. In their game last night they couldn?t do that against Chicago. Even if the Oilers regroup and hit the ice with a lot of emotion tonight, it?s going to be hard for them to overcome the energy that the ?amped-up? Avs will bring to the ice tonight. Colorado is seeking revenge and they are a very tough team to beat at The Pepsi Center. Also, unlike the Oilers, Colorado is rested here as they have been off since Monday. The Oil won just 18 road games last season and the Avs won 27 games at home. Factoring that in along with the situational edges that favor Colorado here and the Avalanche are worth laying the price in this spot. Their money line is quite fair considering the situation. The Oilers special teams units have struggled in recent games, after a strong start to the season, and look for the Avalanche to take advantage of that tonight. Lay the price with Colorado!Comment

double-dime bet104 West Virginia -2.5 (-110) BetUS vs 103 Auburn
Analysis:
Not willing to fall into the trap of playing the SEC against other conferences in this particular spot. Auburn doesn't normally travel in non-conference games and they walk into a tough place to play on Thursday night.
West Virginia has won four straight over the SEC and Auburn's Tommy Tuberville is 1-2 versus the Big East in his career.
Have to love that West Virginia is 111-25-4 all-time in October home games and 46-2 since 2002 when winning the turnover battle. With the Tigers undergoing a change in offensive identity - it leaves it wide open for a few turnovers to be created.
This isn't the Auburn and West Virginia teams that the public has been use to seeing over the past few years, but have to like one of the better home teams in America in this spot, as Auburn will wonder why its in West Virginia on Thursday night.Comment

double-dime bet103 Auburn -3.0 (-115) BetUS vs 104 West Virginia
Analysis:
West Virgina Mountaineers host the Auburn Tiger in a Thursday evening matchup.
The Tigers have a solid defense and no offense and the Mountaineers have a good offense and no defense.
The Tigers are 9th in the country in scoring defense allowing 13.1 ppg.
Auburn is 6-1 in Thursday night games and are on a 3 game winning streak; 18-7 ATS in their las 25 games in October; and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
The Mountaineers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games; 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games on turf; and 1-4 ATS in the last five games overall. They are also 0-4 ATS in the last 4four games following a bye week.
I feel the defense will prevail and Auburn will keep it close. Take the generous points and run to the bank.Comment
