West Virginia at South Florida ESPN

Big Win last night with an easy winner in Boise St. here is tonight’s info and selection:



Tonight West Virginia takes on South Florida in a prime time televised knockdown drag down for both teams. This game looks tempting to take the home dog but I am going to go the other way on this one. WV has revenge for a loss last year and in the post game speech after a win against East Carolina the coach talked about this game, which means they have been looking forward to it.

The Mountaineers are favored by a touchdown and come off four consecutive double-digit wins. They average 47.3 PPG and are on a 13-4 ATS run as road chalk. West Virginia also has the nation's No. 2 rushing offense at 357 yards per game and is led by Steve Slaton (125.5), whose next TD run will have him a school-record 43 in his career. Yet that vaunted ground game of Slaton and QB Pat White was held in check by the South Florida defense last season, as they combined for a stunning 60 yards on the ground in a 24-19 loss as three-touchdown favorites.

BET THE GAME WITH THE BEST LINE HERE!



Hoping to avoid another upset, WVU hired away former USF Offensive Coordinator Rod Smith.

West Virginia won’t take the Bulls lightly this time and having White under center is big difference. If the Mountaineers are true national contenders, they must win games just like this. Even with all the success under coach Rich Rodriguez, these are the types of tilts they have lost previously. They will come into this Big East bad boy with 11-3 ATS record after gaining 225 or more rushing yards in two straight games over the last three seasons.

West Virginia: 19-8 ATS away off a win by 21+ points

Selection: West Virginia -7 (buy down if it goes 7.5)

Boise St / Southern Miss ESPN Game



Boise State bounced back from road loss to Washington with a 24-14 win at home against Wyoming. The Broncos do not appear to have the firepower of recent vintage, scoring just 17 points per game against better competition. Coach Chris Peterson understands his team is making a transition and is leaning heavily on running Ian Johnson, while Taylor Tharp grows into quarterback position. Johnson has been the focus of the opposition’s attention, as he is averaging less than 100 yards per game. Collectively, the Broncos are still running the ball for 199 yards a game, though it should be noted they are doing so against teams allowing 208 PG.

Thursday’s ESPN match-up has Boise State as 10.5-point favorites at Sportsbook.com with a total of 49.5. The Broncos are 4-2 against the spread off two non-covers in a row and is 17-3 ATS when not favored by more than 28 points at Bronco Stadium.


BET THE BIG GAME HERE FOR YOUR BEST LINE!




Both teams have a history of success against the opposing conference; Boise State is 13-1 vs. C-USA and Southern Miss 36-16 against the WAC. The Golden Eagles are a formidable squad, which has raised speculation why a double digit underdog. The simple truth is most linemakers grade out Boise State as 6 to 6.5 point faves on the blue turf at Bronco Stadium, making it one the toughest places in college football to play at. With this knowledge, the Broncos are 32-12 ATS as home favorites since they started making lines on there games.

Tune in at 7:45 Eastern to see if Jeff Bower’s Eagles can improve upon 4-8 ATS record when not playing on Saturday’s.




Southern Miss: 5-16 ATS off a conference win by 7 points or less

Boise State: 32-12 ATS as a home favorite



Selection: Boise St -10

Week 5 Trends

Navy has gotten used to ruling the roost among the service academies. The Midshipmen have won and 'covered' four straight against Air Force and prevailed in seven of their last eight against Army.
Rookie Falcons coach Troy Calhoun looks to buck that trend when he takes his team to Annapolis this Saturday. Air Force lost its final four games in 2006, but it has thrived under Calhoun, winning their first three games this season prior to last Saturday's visit to BYU.
Paul Johnson has put the Middies back on the college football map the past four seasons, posting a 35-15 mark and leading his team to four straight bowl games. However, Navy has struggled this season, losing its last pair and failing to cash three straight before hosting Duke last Saturday.

Trends and angles for the entire Week 5 menu appear below.

OSU Coach Mike Gundy sounds off!!



NCAA Football made mid week news when Mike Gundy sounded off on a reporter that had some things to say about a QB for OSU.

Friday Night Lights!

Easy winner last night and I have another one for tonight! Make sure to check out our great sponsors for free money and great odds!

Sports Betting at Sportsbook.com

Oklahoma is searching far and wide for another offense that can keep up with its 61.3 points and 565.3 yards per game. Quite frankly, there isn't one out there, but it's safe to say that Tulsa will give it a shot on Friday night.
Tulsa's 559 yards per game is fourth in the nation just behind Oklahoma, but the Golden Hurricane's 45 points per game is still 16-points shy of the Sooners. The scoreboard at Shelly Stadium in Tulsa will no doubt have its work cut out for this in-state showdown. Whichever team punts first may very well receive its first loss of the year.
This may be bad news for Tulsa as Oklahoma is equally as good on defense as it is on offense. The No. 4 Sooners have outscored their three opponents 184-26 en route to a 3-0 record to open the season. All three of those games were in Norman making this Friday night game OU's first road test and it comes on a short week to prepare.
Typically this would be a struggle for a freshman quarterback, but Oklahoma passer Sam Bradford has proven that he's not a typical freshman. Through three games, the Sooner slinger has a 219.51 passer rating and a completion percentage of 79.7. He has notched 11 touchdowns to only one interception, with five of those TDs coming in Oklahoma's clash versus perennial defensive power Miami (Fl).
It certainly helps Bradford having All-American candidates at all the skill positions. Freshman running back DeMarco Murray only made the rich, richer. He already has 251 rushing yards and six touchdowns to go along with fellow running back Allen Patrick's 160 yards and one touchdown. These two will make life difficult for a Golden Hurricane defense that has allowed an average of 184.5 rushing yards over their first two games.
Oklahoma is not only 3-0 SU, but also undefeated ATS. In fact, so far it seems that there isn't a line the oddsmakers can post that the Sooners can't cover. Oklahoma covered more than a 40-point spread against both North Texas and Utah State and in Week 2 covered an 11-point spread by 27 points against Miami.

Online Sports Betting at Sportsbook

Obviously the Sooners' talented offense has played a huge part in OU's early success, but it's tough for teams to cover a spread when they can't even score. Oklahoma's D ranks second in the nation giving up only 8.7 points per game and a measly 179.7 yards. These impressive stats have come against poor offensive units, so Tulsa's offense should be a good litmus test.
QB Paul Smith has led the Golden Hurricane to a 2-0 SU and ATS mark. The senior is coming off one of his best games to date, having thrown for 454 yards and five scores in a 55-47 win over BYU. Tulsa closed as a 7-point home underdog, yet on the shoulders of Smith, the Hurricane got the outright win.
These teams have met twice over the past six seasons with the most recent being in September 2005. Smith was a sophomore starter at the time and performed valiantly. The Tulsa running game was nonexistent in the game, forcing Smith to air it out 36 times and completing 24. He finished the game with 246 yards, one interception and a one-yard touchdown run in the 31-15 Oklahoma victory. The Sooners were ranked No. 18 at the time and bookmakers were expecting a blowout and didn't even post a line.
Tulsa hung tough with Oklahoma through three quarters heading into the fourth down only 14-9, but the mighty Sooners posted 17 points to close out the game. The other meeting was in Tulsa on a Friday night, similar to this year's matchup, but Oklahoma routed the Hurricane 37-0.

Online Sports Betting at Sportsbook

History tells us that Oklahoma has the edge in this one considering the Sooners are 8-1 when they score 28 or more points over the last two seasons. Given Tulsa's troubles on defense, it's almost a given that Oklahoma will score at least 28. Although Tulsa covered against BYU, it is uncommon over the past 15 years for the Hurricane to get the cheese when allowing more than 28 points. Since 1992 Tulsa is 23-64 ATS when allowing that many points.
Oddsmakers opened Oklahoma as a 20-point road favorite over Tulsa, but the public immediately came in on the Sooners pushing that number up to 23. The 'total' hovering around 67 1/2.

Selection: Over 66.5

USC at Nebraska

This is the big game of the day as the folks in Lincoln are buzzing with excitement because they believe this is the year they can make some noise and history and beat USC. Nebraska will be ready and will keep this close. Pete Carroll has three losses off a bye week and they are just 7-10 ATS as road favorites. Nebraska has 'covered' six of seven at home and three of four as home dogs

Nebraska +10

Notre Dame at Michigan


What normally is a huge game has lost some luster with both teams at 0-2. This game I lean to the wolverines because they have so much to lose. They can still win the big ten which would give them a BCS berth while the Irish are in complete rebuilding. Michigan will do all they can to make sure they do not go lose three straight at the big house. I only pass on this game because I do not want to drop this many points. Notre Dame: 2-10 ATS vs. non-conference opponents. PASS.

Tennessee @ Florida

A big game for both clubs as the Vols invades the swamp. The Vols are prepared and ready to expose the Gators at home. Tennessee has cashed at a 14-9-1 clip on the road versus SEC foes while Florida is just 7-14 ATS at home against conference rivals.

Vols +7.5

Troy comes into this game tonight off of two road losses but these losses were against ranked teams and they get to finally play at home tonight. The Trojans are 28-5 straight up at home the last seven years. Oklahoma State has to guard against taking Troy to lightly with Big 12 opener next week and has poor 3-9 (4-8 ATS) road record under Coach Mike Gundy.

First Half Play: Troy +6.5

Troy will come out at home and be excited to get in this game and play on ESPN. Oklahoma St has a monstrous offensive line and will wear down Troy in the second half and very well could pull away and cover the 10. Stick with the first half in this game because the second half will be close and so will the final number much like last night’s game.

Check this blog out tomorrow for a huge Saturday’s slate in College Football to include information in games like USC/Nebraska, Notre Dame/Michigan, and Boston College and Georgia Tech.

Duck Suspended!

The Oregon Mascot was suspended for a beat down of the Houston Cougar Mascot.




Even though the University of Oregon's Duck mascot was suspended almost two weeks ago for roughing up Houston's Cougar mascot at the Sept. 1 football game between the schools, it's just now getting some serious online attention.

Youtube videos have more than 100,000 hits, The Associated Press' footage was the lead story on Yahoo.com for awhile and the blogosphere is abuzz.

Last week, the university called the fight "irresponsible" and said that it violates the athletic department's "Code of ConDUCKt."

Nevertheless, comments are still filling up online forums, many of which reflect the humor of the dust-up. It's hard to tell if there was real rage in the scuffle, or if the mascots just got carried away. Apparently, the Cougar ruffled the Duck's feathers after it copied its trademark pushup.

Fans from both teams are chiming in. One Ducks fan writes, "Too bad our defense isn't that fiesty!"

Houston fans are getting their two cents in also. "...it was soo imature for their mascot to do that...so it makes oregon look bad not HOUSTON!!!" writes one fan at larrybrownsports.com.

Thursday night Football

Tonight there are two football games to get us ready for the big weekend of college football and there are some lines that need to be adjusted.

Check out the Pig.com for the best lines on tonight's games!





Maryland goes against West Virginia in the big game tonight and the Terps will be out for revenge. The Maryland home base will be ready for a nationally televised game against a fourth ranked team in West Virginia. There is no doubt that the offense with two heisman candidates on WV will be tough to deal with, but Maryland has the 7th ranked defense in the country and will be up to the challenge. The WV offense has been suspect and has difficulties with teams with less than impressive records. Maryland may not pull off the upset but they will keep this well within the posted line. West Virginia is just 5-10-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings.

Maryland +16.5

However, the Terrapins are 5-12 ATS at Bobby Dodd Stadium the past three years and they have failed to cash five straight non-conference tests at home.

Super Seven For Saturday

The first installment of Super Seven For saturday is ready to go! The lines and the best sportsbook for Saturday is Oddsmaker.com!



Saturday College Football

A quick hit look at some of the games tomorrow. I cover some of the big games, some of the televised games and some of the games you may not even know are playing tomorrow in my super seven college football games you must play.

7) Wake Forest +8

The ACC takes on Nebraska on the road and this home opener for the deacons should allow them to keep this close. They have a new QB after injuries but he has had all week and will keep this close.

Nebraska: 16-32 ATS off a home win by 28+ points
Wake Forest: 7-1 ATS after forcing 3+ turnovers



6) Miami Florida +11

If there one thing you can count on for Oklahoma is falling over when they take on a team out of conference. Miami has cashed three straight against Oklahoma. The Hurricanes are 5-2 in their last seven chances as road dogs and 6-3 ATS against non-conference rivals. Conversely, Oklahoma has slipped at a 10-6-1 clip outside the Big-12 when playing at Norman. Miami will be alive and kicking for this game and ready to keep it close.

5) NC. St +14

When I saw this line jump to two scores I had to jump on it. The wolf pack got hammered but an unknown in Central Florida because they were looking for this one. Ex head coach returns and BC will look to prove him wrong but this game, especially with the big loss in game one is the wolf pack game to win. This comes down to a kick. The Eagles have revenge but are just 1-4 ATS in that spot at home. North Carolina State is 11-4 as road dogs.

4) Boise St -3

Boise St. knows if they are for real these are the games they need to win and they could not have found a better team to play. Washington has floundered in 15 of its last 19 ATS at home and it has dropped nine of 12 at Husky Stadium as underdogs. The Huskies have also flopped at a torrid 14-3-1 clip outside the Pac-10.

SYSTEM PLAY: PLAY ON any game two college underdog or favorite of -10 or less provided they're coming off a 35-point or more straight up victory in their season opener.

Boise State: 34-17 ATS off a combined score of 60+ points
Washington: 26-44 ATS off a road game




3) South Carolina +3

The gamecocks finally get their QB back and are ready to showcase some serious talent and get revenge against Georgia. South Carolina: 8-1 ATS in road games, and will keep it close on the national stage. Spurrier knows how to get his teams ready. Georgian spanked South Carolina last season as three-point road favorites, 18-0. The Gamecocks are 10-1 ATS on the road with revenge against conference rivals. USC has also cashed six of nine as road dogs and six of nine on the highway against quality teams under Coach Steve Spurrier. The Bulldogs have won five straight series meetings. However, they are 5-10-1 as home favorites and 3-7 ATS at home versus conference foes.

2) Mississippi St -5

A big revenge game here for Mississippi St when they head to Tulane. Tulane upset Mississippi State as 11-point road dogs last year, 32-29. The Bulldogs have cashed four straight on the road when in revenge mode. They have also 'covered' seven of nine against the Green Wave. Tulane is 1-6 ATS in its last seven season openers.

Rutgers Vs Navy --Friday

Rutgers Vs Navy

Rutgers easily toyed with Buffalo in home opener 38-3, gaining 563 total yards in the rout and will face a much tougher assignment in playing the Naval Academy.

It seems coach Greg Schiano stayed for a reason after many inviting job offers. One of the big pluses is the talent he has recruited returns a number of starters (13) and the replacements will not be a significant drop off. Running back Ray Rice keys the rushing game and looked in Heisman form in his opening effort. Rice rushed for 184 yards and three touchdowns on 25 carries. The extra year of experience worked wonders for quarterback Mike Teel, who also added a noteworthy effort as he completed 69.5 percent of his attempts for 328 yards and two scores. The junior signal is now 14-3 and 11-5 against the spread as a starter.

Head coach Paul Johnson has done an absolutely astonishing job at the Naval Academy in five plus years with 38-25 record (33-20-1 ATS) and taken the Midshipmen to four consecutive bowl games. More importantly at this institution, they have won four consecutive Commander-in-Chief Trophies after having not won one in 22 previous years. This year’s task will be a tougher job with just three starters back on defense.

Offensively, a case could be made this might be the most explosive Navy team ever with Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada at quarterback and a fleet of speedy backs to make running game potent. Against Temple in the opener, Kaheaku-Enhada ran the offense like a bon vivant, rushing for 102 yards himself and dishing out on the option for another 259 yards. The Hawaii native won’t dazzle anyone with his throwing, however his speed and decision making are exceptional in Johnson’s option, which might leave him among the greats at Navy.
The Rutgers defense is not big; nonetheless they are aggressive and quick trying to replace four starters from the front seven. The Scarlet Knights will be fed a steady diet of option football, which means they must have the discipline, ironically enough of a military man, to carry out assignment and stop Navy’s prodigious ground attack. Rutgers is 8-3 ATS taking on non-conference foes.

The early line of Rutgers favored by 12 was pounded by bettors and is now 17.5 at Sportsbook.com, despite the Midshipmen’s 35-12 ATS record as a road underdog the last 15 seasons. This will be Navy’s second straight road game and they are 2-6 SU and ATS against Rutgers.

This will be the second of five consecutive home games for Rutgers who can dish out a serious dose of (Ray) Rice to the Middies. If they become too focused on the run, Teel has shown he can wound teams with the passing game, leaving defensive coordinators transmogrified from genius status to jackals in the course of one football game.
No matter, Navy will gain plenty of yards, but it will be Rutgers piling up the points, as Coach Schiano will have his Scarlet Knights chopping wood again. With spread now at a much higher number, the potential for Navy to enter through the old backdoor to cover comes even more into play.

ESPN will cover this Eastern favored football contest starting at 7 Eastern.

Selection: Navy +16

The matchup: Oregon State Beavers at Cincinnati Bearcats
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. ET from Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati, OH
The line: OSU -3 ½, total 45 ½ points

Selection: Bearcats +3.5
Oregon St. looked great last week as they handled Utah and the Bearcats of Cincinnati had an easy contest and will get the real first test tonight at home in prime time. Teams always look forward to a prime time test at home and they will be ready for this game. The Beavers are just 19-28 ATS in September games and are used to getting off to slow starts and in this spot as they are 35-41 ATS in road games since 1993. The Bearcats are 19-8 ATS at home off of a home game and 51-38 ATS as a home underdog since '93. The beavers lose an All pro guard while the bearcats get back a big defensive end giving them help in beatiing the run tonight and that is the Beaver strong point.

Clemson vs. Florida St.


Tonight’s game between the Bowden’s will take center stage in primetime as ESPN is set to televise the tilt between the Tigers and the Seminoles.

Florida St, has announced that Drew Weatherford will get the call as starting QB and won the job due to his consistency with the every down plays. It was stated that Xavier Lee will see some action but his role was not named.

Clemson on the other hand has an unproven at QB for tonight (Cullen Harper) and will rely on a running attack from James Davis to keep the quick front of Florida St off of his new QB. Both defenses will be poised to make some noise tonight. The Seminoles are chocked full of NFL prospects on defense that are fast and hard hitting. Clemson counters with a solid line backing core led by Nick Watson and Anthony Waters.

Memorial Stadium is not an easy place to play and you can be assured the crowd will be loud and ready to support the home team. This is not good news for Florida St because they are just 1-6 ATS at Clemson and 16-15 ATS as road favorites. Terry Bowden always finds a way to get his team fired up to go against his father and that is proven in the 3-1 SU and ATS mark in the last four meetings.

I look for more of the same tonight with a wild and rowdy crowd! Clemson is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 as an underdog and they will cash in again tonight!
