College Football
Ball State Cardinals @ Central Michigan Chippewas Wednesday November 19, 2008 7:00 pm
CFB: CENTRAL MICHIGAN – Ball State is a solid team. There is no doubt about that. However, the Cardinals and their 10-0 record are simply resulting in this point spread getting out of hand. To be laying a full touchdown on the road against a team that is undefeated in the same ... read more

Northern Illinois Huskies @ Kent State Golden Flashes Tuesday November 18, 2008 7:00 pm
KENT STATE – This match-up is a case of two teams coming into this game at two entirely different emotional levels. The Golden Flashes are coming off of a big home win 41-38 over Temple while the Huskies of Northern Illinois are coming of an overtime home loss to Central Michigan. ... read more

SMU Mustangs @ UTEP Miners Saturday November 15, 2008 9:00 pm
SMU – No need to dig too deep here. The suspension of wide receivers for SMU has simply resulted in an over-adjustment by the marketplace! We can now get SMU at plus two touchdowns in this game and that is an amazing value. Keep in mind that the Mustangs offense is a system ... read more

Vanderbilt Commodores @ Kentucky Wildcats Saturday November 15, 2008 8:00 pm
VANDERBILT – Kentucky has won four in a row in this series but they’ve been tight wins (combined margin of four wins was just 25 points). The point is that the four game winning streak hasn’t been by virtue of blowouts and this is the year that Vanderbilt gets over ... read more

Texas Longhorns @ Kansas Jayhawks Saturday November 15, 2008 12:30 pm
KANSAS – Texas did get the win last week against Baylor but they did not get the cover and, in our mind, this is the beginning of the fade for the Longhorns. After getting to the #1 spot in the nation, it’s hard for a team to adjust after getting knocked off. When the ... read more

Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ Navy Midshipmen Saturday November 15, 2008 12:00 pm
NOTRE DAME – Yes, the Irish were held without a point in last week’s primetime game at Boston College but they absolutely were done in by five turnovers in that game. The turnover ratio ended up 5 to 0 as the Eagles held onto the ball and Notre Dame did not. That’s ... read more

Cincinnati U @ Louisville Cardinals Friday November 14, 2008 8:00 pm
LOUISVILLE – Great opportunity for the Cardinals here. Louisville is hosting a Bearcats team they have enjoyed plenty of success against in recent seasons so the confidence will definitely be there for the Cardinals. Also, Louisville is coming off of a deceiving final score ... read more

Virginia Tech Hokies @ Miami Florida Hurricanes Thursday November 13, 2008 7:45 pm
MIAMI – Virginia Tech has held the upper hand in this series but a lot has changed about each of these teams comparing last season to this season. This is why, even though the Hurricanes got blown out by the Hokies last season, the Canes are the play this season in the “rematch”. ... read more

College Football
Buffalo Bulls @ Akron Zips Thursday November 13, 2008 7:00 pm
UNDER in Akron – This battle carries serious positioning implications in the MAC East and, as a result, you can expect both defenses to be fully prepared to “step up” tonight with a strong effort. This is simply a key conference game and it involves two teams from ... read more

College Football
Central Michigan Chippewas @ Northern Illinois Huskies Wednesday November 12, 2008 8:00 pm
CENTRAL MICHIGAN – The Huskies were on quite a run in this series up until last year’s match-up. After winning nine straight games (and covering the spread in eight of those nine games), Northern Illinois not only came up short last year, they got blasted. The Chippewas ... read more

Temple Owls @ Kent State Golden Flashes Wednesday November 12, 2008 8:00 pm
KENT STATE – The Golden Flashes have been reduced to playing the role of a spoiler in the MAC East. However, that is a role we fully expect them to grasp with open arms and that is especially the case against Temple. Last season, Kent was hammered with injuries at the QB position ... read more

Ball State Cardinals @ Miami Ohio Red Hawks Tuesday November 11, 2008 7:00 pm
UNDER miami/ball state – This total is currently sitting at a 54.5 as of early Tuesday morning. This season, look at the RedHawks results, and excluding Charleston Southern (not a Division I program), Miami-Ohio is 1-7 in their other eight games. Of those eight games, only ... read more

New Mexico Lobos @ UNLV Rebels Saturday November 8, 2008 10:00 pm
UNLV – We look to capitalize on a favorable line move here by getting the best of the value in this one. UNLV is now up to as high as a 6-point dog as of early Saturday afternoon and that makes a play on this late night game a must with this kind of value. Yes, starting QB ... read more

Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ Boston College Eagles Saturday November 8, 2008 8:00 pm
Notre Dame – The Fighting Irish are ready for this one. They haven’t won at Chestnut Hill in ten years and this “series” of games with Boston College is ending with next season’s game in South Bend. The Fighting Irish want to go out a winner in their ... read more

Stanford Cardinal @ Oregon Ducks Saturday November 8, 2008 3:30 pm
Oregon - The Ducks are hosting the Cardinal on Saturday and Stanford is just a win away from bowl eligibility. Of course that needed victory is something the Ducks certainly don’t want to allow on their home field. If history is any indicator, they won’t! Oregon has won ... read more

Syracuse Orangemen @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights Saturday November 8, 2008 12:00 pm
Rutgers - Here is another case of simple dominance based on the difference in talent level between the schools. Last season, this game was at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse. The Scarlet Knights were down 14 to 0 but they then proceeded to score 38 unanswered points! The home team has ... read more

Nevada Wolf Pack @ Fresno State Bulldogs Friday November 7, 2008 9:00 pm
Fresno State – The Bulldogs haven’t just been winning their games with Nevada, they’ve been dominating! Fresno State has won eight of the last nine meetings and they’ve covered all but two of those as their average margin of victory has been right around ... read more

TCU Horned Frogs @ Utah Utes Thursday November 6, 2008 8:00 pm
UNDER utah – As you would expect for a November night game in Salt Lake City, Utah it is going to be chilly tonight. It looks like the weather will be clear of any wind or precipitation but the cold weather will make it more likely that each team will go with a heavy dose of ... read more

College Football
Northern Illinois Huskies @ Ball State Cardinals Wednesday November 5, 2008 8:00 pm
Ball State – The Huskies of Northern Illinois have certainly improved under first year coach Jerry Kill. However, this is still a team that doesn’t differ much personnel-wise from the Huskies team that went just 2-10 in 2007. Yes, Northern Illinois is 5-3 this season ... read more

Miami Ohio Red Hawks @ Buffalo Bulls Tuesday November 4, 2008 7:30 pm
UNDER in Buffalo – Buffalo is hosting Miami of Ohio on Tuesday night and the running games of both teams are likely to be on display here. The RedHawks are coming off of a sloppy (and ugly!) home loss to Kent State where their mistakes did them in. Too many turnovers was the ... read more

Arizona State Sun Devils @ Oregon State Beavers Saturday November 1, 2008 10:15 pm
UNDER oregon state – The Beavers and Sun Devils square off in the Pacific Northwest on Saturday night and points will be much harder to come by than many may be expecting here. The current coach at Arizona State, Dennis Erickson, was the head man at Oregon State from ... read more

Oregon Ducks @ California Golden Bears Saturday November 1, 2008 3:30 pm
CAL – The Golden Bears recently suffered a disappointing loss to Arizona but they’ve quickly put them behind them as they are coming off of a very strong effort versus UCLA. The Bears held the Bruins in check as they intercepted Bruins QB Craft four times in the game. ... read more

Missouri Tigers @ Baylor Bears Saturday November 1, 2008 3:00 pm
BAYLOR – The Bears are hosting Missouri this week and, after the Tigers beat Colorado 58 to 0 last week, the line on Mizzou is simply getting out of hand in this match-up. To be favored by three touchdowns on the road against a talented Baylor offense is asking a lot of a Tigers ... read more

College Football
South Florida @ Cincinnati U Thursday October 30, 2008 7:45 pm
SOUTH FLORIDA – If you’re wondering if the Bulls will be ready for this one just think about what happened last season. In an unbelievable turnover prone game, South Florida lost 38-33 at home versus Cincinnati. The Bulls turned it over EIGHT times in the game and they ... read more

Houston Cougars @ Marshall Thundering Herd Tuesday October 28, 2008 8:00 pm
UNDER in Marshall – We had to wait until closer to game time on this one to get the best weather reports and it’s certainly favoring a lower-scoring game. The winds could gust enough to cause problems in the passing game. Also, this game is not slated to kick off until ... read more

Central Florida Golden Knights @ Tulsa Golden Hurricane Sunday October 26, 2008 8:00 pm
Central Florida: Tulsa is laying a huge pointspread here as the Golden Hurricane have become overvalued due to their high powered offense. Yes, Tulsa has been impressive this season but they shouldn't be laying this many points against a Central Florida team that has been strong ... read more

Penn State Nittany Lions @ Ohio State Buckeyes Saturday October 25, 2008 8:00 pm
Ohio St – The Buckeyes have absolutely dominated Penn State in Columbus and they get another chance to do the same this Saturday. There is no way they will let this opportunity pass them by as the Buckeyes want to put an end to a Big Ten rivals undefeated season! Ohio State’s ... read more

Alabama Crimson Tide @ Tennessee Volunteers Saturday October 25, 2008 7:45 pm
Tennessee – The Volunteers and Crimson Tide combine for quite the intense rivalry and, as you would expect, the line value in an intense rivalry is often with the underdog. Four of the last five match-ups have been decided by eight points or less. Also the home team has the ... read more

Northwestern Wildcats @ Indiana Hoosiers Saturday October 25, 2008 12:00 pm
Indiana – Too many points being given here to the Hoosiers. Northwestern just doesn’t deserve this much respect on the road. Last year’s game was decided by just three points and it ended after some controversial late calls. The point is that the game could have ... read more

Boise State Broncos @ San Jose State Spartans Friday October 24, 2008 9:00 pm
SAN JOSE STATE – The Spartans are hosting a ranked team Friday and, as we’ve seen so often this season, that has led to plenty of covers for the underdog this year plus a number of outright upsets. Add San Jose State to that list! The Spartans defense has been simply ... read more
