Rutgers (+5') for 1.5 Units
We realize that Savage is banged up (throwing hand & shoulder) and replacement Dodd is a true freshman; however, Dodd, who should get the start, has big time RB Sanu to carry the load and in the wildcat as a change-up. For Dodd, better to start at home than on the road vs a quality opponent like U Conn. U Conn has not showed strength on the road this year falling SU/ATS to Michigan and Temple. And laying points to a still dangerous team like Rutgers in a pretty strong venue is unnerving. Rutgers still possess a rock solid defense and will surely scheme around shutting down RB Jordan Todman. Remember, in 2008 under Schiano, the Scarlet Knights got off to a rocky 0-3 start before going on a 7-1 ATS tear and bowl entrant. We'll look for the Knights to bounce back here.

Oklahoma St at UL Lafayette
Pick: Over 61.5
I really like the total in this football game and I think it will play Over the posted 61.5 points...the Cowboys are averaging 52.2 points per game and the Rajin Cajuns have been giving up over 35 points per game...I look for the Cowboys to score at least their average in points and if the Rajin Cajuns can score just 10 points we are cashing a winner...Over is the play.

3 Units SF Giants -140
Matt Cain has been dominant at home this season. He has also pitched very well against the Braves this season. San Francisco has a slight advantage here at home as well, especially since Atlanta has not been a good road team this season. The Giants were able to shut out the Braves last night, and I expect Cain to out pitch Hanson. San Francisco will get enough runs to win a low scoring pitchers duel.
