Service Plays Friday 11/5/10

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

Tale Of The Tape: Central Florida At Houston

Central Florida Knights at Houston Cougars (+1.5, 62)

Offense:

It’s been a growing season for freshman quarterback Jeff Godfrey. The former Miami Central star has completed nearly 64 percent of his passes for 1,006 yards this season with four touchdowns against four interceptions. Godfrey also has been good at extending drives with his legs, running for 394 yards and five scores.

Behind Godfrey, the team is averaging a solid 32.9 points per game, but is 61st in total yards (376.5) and 92nd nationally in passing yards (176.6). The team relies on a strong rushing game led by tailback Ronnie Weaver (638 yards, 10 TDs) as the team is 22nd nationally in rushing at nearly 200 yards per game.

Meantime, Houston puts up 41.6 points per game, the 8th most in the country.

Houston quarterback David Piland was thrust into a starting job when the team’s top-two signal callers went down with season-ending injuries. The 19-year-old, however, has responded by posting solid numbers. Through four games, he has completed 58.6 percent of his passes for 1,108 yards with 11 touchdown against three interceptions and has been sacked only twice.

Even with Piland at quarterback, the Cougars still are averaging nearly 300 yards passing per game, the 13th-best mark in the country.

Piland also has gotten plenty of support from junior running back Bryce Beall. The 5-foot-11, 209-pounder has gained 638 yards and 12 touchdowns on just 113 carries. Beall, though, is nursing a knee injury and while likely to play against Central Florida, he will be less than 100 percent.

Edge: Houston Cougars

Defense:

This has been the biggest strength for Central Florida. The Knights are ninth nationally in total yards allowed (279.9), 11th in points given up (16.5), 13th in rushing yards allowed (102.6) and 16th in passing yards given (177.2) per game.

Houston, however, is the polar opposite. The Cougars are more like a satin sheet than a steel curtain on defense. The hosts are 79th in the country in total defense, yielding a stunning 391.1 yards per game. That is mostly due to poor tackling and being unable to get off blocks as teams are running over the
Cougars for an average of 194.2 rushing yards per game, the 98th-highest total in the country.

The Cougars also are allowing a whopping 28 points per game.

In a 37-32 win by the Knights last year, the Cougars did keep the game close by holding Central Florida to an average of just 3.0 yards per rush.

Edge: Central Florida Knights

Special Teams:

This is another strong area for the Knights. Central Florida is 26th in the country in punt returns (11.81 yards per attempt) and 11th in kickoff run backs (25.78).
The team also is good at forcing long field goals, as opponents are making a meager 33 percent of their kicks against the Knights, the third-lowest total in the country.

Houston is pretty mediocre on special teams, only really excelling at one thing: blocking kicks. The Cougars have blocked three kicks this season, the third-highest mark in the country. Houston also is 13th nationally in punt returns, averaging 15.2 yards per attempt.

Edge: Central Florida Knights

From The Files Of The Beat Reporters

"From what we've watched, he's doing a good job now. He struggled a little bit when he first got in, but you know he's got a couple of games under his belt and he's doing a lot of the same things [as Case Keenum.] He delivers a great ball. … Makes it where the receivers can go and make plays." -- UCF senior defensive end Bruce Miller on Houston quarterback David Piland.

"If they want to run the ball, we've got to get in there and blow stuff up, disrupt that. It's going to come down to toughness. We've just got to be ready for a tough, physical game." -- UH linebacker Matt Nicholson on stopping the UCF rushing game.

Final Score Prediction:

Central Florida 36, Houston 28

Friday's Best NCAA Bet

Western Michigan Broncos at Central Michigan Chippewas (-3.5, 51.5)

It’s known as the “Big Game” in the state of Michigan, and you can bet that tensions will be flaring in Friday night’s appetizer for a college football betting feast, as the Western Michigan Broncos take on the Central Michigan Chippewas.

The boys from Kalamazoo have a lethal passing attack, but really not much else to speak of on either side of the football. We give QB Alex Carder all the credit in the world for hanging in there this year in spite of the fact that defenses know he is putting the ball in the air a million times per game. He is completing 61.3 percent of his passes for 2,299 yards with 18 scores against 11 picks. He also has 153 rushing yards and six of the team’s 11 rushing TDs. WR Jordan White is just 62 yards away from the 1,000 yard barrier, while his teammate, WR Juan Nunez isn’t that far behind with 56 catches, 635 yards, and six TDs. The defense for WMU hasn’t played all that poorly of late, as the unit only allowed 28 last week to a strong Northern Illinois outfit, and has only really been mauled by one team, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish since the beginning of October. Winning the MAC is out of the question, but going bowling, even at 3-5, isn’t. This one is a must win, though.

The Chippewas know that their season is over with, and it’s a wonder to us how they keep ending up being favored in games. Three times this year, they have been favorites by at least 13 points at home in conference, and three times, they have gone away with outright losses. The most recent of those came just last week in a brutal 17-14 loss to the Bowling Green Falcons. Since beating down the Eastern Michigan Eagles 52-14 in Ypsilanti, the Chippies have dropped six straight SU and have lost their L/5 against the football odds. In that stretch, they haven’t scored more than 25 points in a game and have allowed at least 27 in all but last week’s loss. Needless to say, things in the life after QB Dan LeFevour aren’t going all that well. QB Ryan Radcliff is trying to make up for LeFevour’s arm, but the frosh is only completing 58.6 percent of his passes. He does have 2,342 yards and will inevitably inch over the 3,000 yard mark for the year, but his TD/INT ratio is a very questionable 12/15.

When the Directional Michigan schools get together, you know that anything can happen, especially when both teams are this bad. However, it is clear that the better team in this game is Western Michigan, as the Broncos have at least shown some competency against some of the better teams in the country and in the conference. It really feels like Central Michigan is just waiting for the season to be over. The wrong team is favored in this one.

Pick: Western Michigan Broncos +3.5


Central Florida Knights at Houston Cougars (+1.5, 61.5)

A sparkling defense takes on an up and coming offense in what could be a preview of the Conference USA Championship Game, as the UCF Knights do battle with the Houston Cougars in a Friday night football betting fight.

UCF is in the driver’s seat in the East Division of C-USA, and it has a game that it can afford to lose at some point and still survive. It won’t want to take any chances in this one though, with the Southern Miss Golden Eagles still sitting on the schedule. The Knights are off of an emotional 49-35 win over the East Carolina Pirates in arguably the biggest win in the history of their relatively new Bright House Networks Stadium. The argument could be made that this is the best team in the state of Florida right now, especially since UCF could very easily be 8-0 and not 6-2 if not for the fact that QB Jeff Godfrey has really taken a little bit time of time to get this offense going with limited mistakes. He hasn’t made any errors though of late, as the Knights have dropped at least 35 points on the board in each of the last four games, all of which have resulted in wins of at least two TDs. UCF also has a devastating defense that allowed a ton of points last week in tremendously uncharacteristic fashion. It is only conceding 279.9 yards and 16.5 points per game, both numbers of which are tops in C-USA.

Things looked to be totally lost when both starting QB Case Keenum and his backup QB Terrance Broadway went down with season ending injuries in a matter of just a couple of hours against the UCLA Bruins two months ago, but now that freshman QB David Piland has taken over, things have really turned around, and the Cougs are three tough wins away from making the conference championship. They have won back to back games over the SMU Mustangs and Memphis Tigers, and in the process, they have dropped 101 points on the board. Piland threw for five TDs and no picks against Memphis last week, improving his numbers to 1,108 yards, 11 TDs, and just three picks in his four games played since losing his redshirt at the outset of October. The pressure is coming off of RB Bryce Beall just a tad, though he still is really in control of this offense in the red zone. Beall has carried the ball a whopping 113 times this year and has 638 yards and 12 TDs to show for his work. The Cougs have allowed a whopping 30.5 points per game at home though, against a very iffy schedule.

These two teams are both streaking right now, but we are very weary of the fact that UCF has covered six straight NCAA football lines. Streaks like that don’t occur often, as the oddsmakers generally get a good grasp on a team after awhile. We tend to think that the Knights are incorrectly favored in this one. They could very well pull off a very huge win, but we tend to believe with the big win coming last week, that the Cougs are going to sneak up on them and take down this tussle.

Pick: Houston Cougars +2.5

What Bettors Need To Know: Friday's NCAAF Action

Western Michigan Broncos at Central Michigan Chippewas (-3.5, 51.5)

Why Western Michigan Will Cover

Despite the fact that they have only had one win in their last three games, the Broncos seem to be rounding into form. One of those defeats was on the road at South Bend, while the other one was decided by just a single touchdown last week against Northern Illinois, the top team in the MAC West.

Central Michigan has won the last four contests in this series, but remember that was with Dan LeFevour at quarterback and coach Butch Jones on the sidelines (LeFevour was injured in 2008 and Jones was only coach in the last three, for those of you fact checkers paying attention). The drop off from losing those two staples is apparent with CMU having a horrible 2-7 season.

Also with the line at -3.5, the betting community is expecting a close game, that will surely add stress to CMU backers as the Chippewas have an abysmal 40 percent field-goal percentage

Why Central Michigan Will Cover

Last month wasn’t pretty for the Chippewas or their backers. Central Michigan went 0-5 in October and failed to cover the spread in each one of those games. With that said, they have everything to gain and nothing to lose with this instate rivalry. Weird results can pop up when motivation is its peak.

It’s Senior Day with the WMU game serving as the last home game of the season. Leading that charge will be Nick Bellore. The senior linebacker goes into his final game in front of his classmates and friends with 451 career tackles, which is the most of any active player in the FBS.

Home-field advantage will be a key factor with the home side winning 16 of the last 20 games in this rivalry.

Central Florida Knights at Houston Cougars (+1.5, 61.5)

Why Central Florida Will Cover

There isn’t a better cover team in the nation than Central Florida. In spite of its overall and ATS record, UCF still remains one of the most underrated teams in the nation. The Knights’ two losses were to North Carolina State and Kansas State, both decent BCS teams, and they have been dominating Conference USA foes, outscoring them 167-70,

Central Florida’s ninth-ranked defense is huge part of that success and it will surely be up to the challenge of going against a Houston Cougar offense that is averaging 41.6 points per game. The toughest defense that Houston has faced this season was Mississippi State, which ranks a couple notches below UCF at 34.

The Knights will also look to attack the Cougars on offense with the run game. Houston is giving up 194.2 yards on the ground which ranks 98th in the nation.

Why Houston Will Cover

The Cougars finally come home after a tough three-game road stretch, where they almost went undefeated. They only lost by three to Rice and then went on to blowout SMU and Memphis.

The team has been through a lot this season, losing both their top two quarterbacks for the season. However, freshman David Piland has come in for the rescue and has adjusted to the offense. The Southlake Carroll alum (powerhouse Texas H.S. that produced Greg McElroy and Chase Daniel) is coming off one of the best performance of his short career, throwing for 292 yards and five touchdowns against Memphis

And as is always the case in nationally televised in-conference matchups, home advantage will be key. This is a team that is finally clicking and will be out to avenge last year’s 37-32 loss to UCF.

Friday NBA Tips

The Friday night NBA card is loaded with 12 games to wager on, including three intriguing contests involving some of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks look to stay unbeaten as they travel to woeful Minnesota, while the Bulls and Celtics renew old playoff acquaintances in Boston. We'll begin in the Big Easy with a pair of teams that are a combined 8-1, with the home club trying to pull an upset.

Heat at Hornets

Most of us expected the Heat to bounce back after their dismal performance on opening night against the Celtics. Miami has responded with four straight wins, even though three of those victories have come against teams that have a combined four wins (Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Minnesota). The Heat heads to New Orleans for a showdown with a surprising Hornets' club looking to continue an undefeated start.

With all the Chris Paul drama now in the rear-view mirror, the Hornets can concentrate on winning games, and that they have. New Orleans is off to a 4-0 start, while grabbing back-to-back outright road victories as underdogs at San Antonio and Houston. The key to the Hornets' hot streak is their stingy defense, which has allowed 93.8 ppg, leading to four 'unders' in four tries.

The big three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh is shaping into form with three straight wins of at least 20 points. Miami's defense is leading the way, giving up just 84 ppg, while coming off a 129-point effort in Tuesday's home blowout of Minnesota. The Hornets have won seven of the past nine meetings, including five straight wins at home.

Bulls at Celtics

Chicago and Boston played an epic seven-game series in the first round two seasons ago that was claimed by the Celtics. Now, Doc Rivers' team goes for their fifth victory in six games, while trying to avenge two losses to the Bulls from last season. Chicago, meanwhile, will be playing with no rest following Thursday's home game against New York.

The Celtics survived a scare against the Bucks by knocking off Milwaukee in overtime on Wednesday, 105-102 as eight-point favorites. Boston's offense has picked things up after averaging 87.5 ppg the first two games, as the C's have scored at least 105 points in each of the last three victories. The Celtics took the first two meetings from the Bulls last season, but Chicago grabbed the next two matchups, including a 96-83 win in Boston as 6 ½-point underdogs last January.

The Bulls came back with two solid victories at home following a season-opening loss at Oklahoma City. Chicago rallied from a 21-point deficit to pull off a miraculous cover as nine-point favorites over Detroit, followed by a wire-to-wire win against the talented Blazers. The Bulls are 7-2 ATS the last nine games on the road dating back to last season, as head coach Tom Thibodeau makes his first appearance against the team he worked for the previous three seasons.

Hawks at Timberwolves

Minnesota is running a nearly impossible gauntlet through the Southeast Division as the Wolves have lost by a combined 74 points at Miami and Orlando. Kurt Rambis' squad heads back to the Target Center to host undefeated Atlanta, as the Hawks are one of three unbeaten teams remaining (Lakers and Hornets).

The Hawks are a bit dinged up as Jamal Crawford is listed as doubtful (toe injury) while Marvin Williams is out (knee injury). Atlanta managed to rally late to beat winless Detroit on Wednesday, but failed to cover as 10-point home favorites. The Wolves will have a problem slowing down this uptempo Hawks' offense that has scored at least 100 points in all three road games. Atlanta has won each of the last eight meetings in this series, while the Hawks have claimed the previous four matchups in Minneapolis.

Minnesota is expected to get Michael Beasley back in the lineup after missing Wednesday's 42-point blowout at Orlando with a hip contusion. The only positive for the Wolves is they won outright the last time they were listed as home underdogs against the Bucks, 96-85. However, Minnesota is just 2-8-1 ATS since last season when receiving points at the Target Center.

PICK 'N' ROLL

Friday's Best NBA Bets

New Jersey Nets at Orlando Magic (-16, 196.5)

The Orlando Magic aren’t the best team in the NBA. They lost in the Finals two years ago to the Lakers, couldn’t get past the Celtics in the East finals last season and they were waxed by the new-look Heat in Miami’s home opener.

But one thing Dwight Howard and his mates excel at is beating the crap out of bad teams. The Magic are 2-0 against the spread as double-digit favorites this year, building on their 17-8 mark from a season ago.

Yes, coach Stan Van Gundy likes it when his fellas run up the score on the opposition. Orlando beat the Timberwolves by 42 points and the Wizards by 29.
The Nets’ best offensive weapon is Brook Lopez but he won’t find as much breathing room down low with Howard in his grill. New Jersey won’t be able to score enough points to keep this thing from getting out of hand.

Pick: Orlando Magic


Charlotte Bobcats at Detroit Pistons (-1.5, 184.5)

Sports Illustrated reported only 11 fans showed up for a Pistons season ticket give-away contest. The hook was that the fan had to attend every one of the team’s 41 home games. That might be more of a punishment than a reward, the way the Pistons are playing.

Detroit coach John Kuester wants Taysaun Prince to step up and be more of a leader and Prince wants Kuester to step up and be a better coach.

“There’s no question, we need more from all of us,” Kuester told the Detroit News after the Pistons dropped to 0-5 on the campaign. “This is a collective thing, it’s not pointing fingers. We’re all in this together.”

This team has no set rotation and no organization or identity. The Bobcats are much better but at least you know what you’re going to get out of them: effort and defense. That’s more than what the Pistons can say these days.

Pick: Detroit Pistons

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

ICE PICKS

Friday's Best NHL Bets

Montreal Canadiens at Buffalo Sabres (N/A)

Buffalo Sabres fans heard two words they were dreading this week: Patrick Lalime

When Olympic star Ryan Miller went down with a back injury, Lalime was forced into a starting role. The status of Miller has forced many books to not set an early line for the game. However, it’s not like Miller was a brick wall this year. The former Michigan State standout was 3-5-2 with a mediocre 2.71 goals-against average and a pedestrian .903 save percentage.

But it’s still better than Lalime. The former Penguins standout has been a sieve, going 0-2 with a 3.41 GAA and a .880 save percentage.

Meantime, Montreal has made the most of a modest offense, nothing just 29 goals but touting 11 players with at least three points through the team’s first 12 games. The balance has made the Canadiens consistent.

Something the Sabres can only dream of.

Pick: Montreal Canadiens


Calgary Flames at Minnesota Wild (-125, 5)

The Flames couldn’t be much more ice cold. Calgary has dropped three straight games because of a defense that has floundered against good offensive clubs.

Calgary was tagged for six and seven goals respectively against Colorado and Washington, before giving up 33 shots and a pair of second-period goals in a 2-1 loss to Detroit. Overall, the Flames are allowing an average of 3.0 goals per game and yielding nearly 29 shots per night.

"It doesn't seem like we're learning our lesson," Calgary defenseman Robyn Regehr said. "For us, we have to take pride in playing the way we do at the start of the game and just continue on. It's a hard way to play but that's the way we have to do it. When we get away from that, we're no good and we lose games."

The key for the Wild to exploit the Calgary defense will be getting on the power play. Minnesota is converting 26.9 percent of its chances with the man advantage, the second-highest average in the league.

And the Flames? Average nearly 15 penalty minutes per game, the 13th-highest mark in the league.

Pick: Minnesota Wild

Bettors' Best Friend (BBF): Friday's Wagering Tips

Line Moves

Calgary Flames at Minnesota Wild: The hosts opened at -125 but that line has since shifted to -120 with many services.

Detroit Red Wings at Edmonton Oilers: The team from North of the Border opened at +144 but that line has since shrunk to +139 with most books.

Phoenix Coyotes at Dallas Stars: The team from Texas opened at minus-140 but that line has since bulged to minus-149.

Who’s Hot

New Jersey Nets have seen the over hit it in nine of their past 12.

Indiana Pacers are 10-3-1 ATS in their past 14 home games.

Toronto Raptors are 8-2 ATS in their past 10 road games.

Boston Bruins are 7-1 SU in their past eight overall.

Edmonton Oilers have seen the over hit in seven of their past eight games.

Who’s Not

Utah Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their past seven overall.

Atlanta Hawks are 2-7 ATS in their past nine games overall.

Los Angeles Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their past five overall.

Minnesota Wild are 1-8 in their past nine games following a win.

The Florida Panthers are 0-4 in their past four games following a win.

Key Stat

3 – Wins in three home games for the Golden State Warriors. It is the most consecutive home wins to start a season for the squad from California since the Run TMC boys – Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin – won six straight at Oracle Arena to start the 1990 season.

Injury That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Things are going to be interesting in the front court of the Atlanta Hawks. Former lottery pick Marvin Williams. Suffering from a bone bruise on his right knee that will keep him out through at least Friday, the Hawks will miss a 51 percent shooter who is averaging nearly 11 points and six rebounds per game. His backup, Maurice Evans, also is expected to miss his fifth straight game with a knee injury. Even worse, guard Jamal Crawford, who is nursing a turf toe injury, is uncertain for the game against the Timberwolves tonight.

Game Of The Day

Central Florida Knights at Houston Cougars (+1.5, 62)

Notable Quotable

"He's got all the power, and that may be part of the problem. There needs to be some type of separation of power, like our government. I don't think it should be based totally on what two or three people may say that are totally away from the game. It should be some of the players that are currently playing." – Steelers safety Troy Polamalu on Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Notes And Tips

Dorell Wright is…good? The league-leader in three-pointers is 18-of-33 from beyond the arc this season and is averaging 20.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The increased pace of the play in Golden State has been huge for the former member of the Miami Heat who floundered last season in playing in a slow-down offense on the East Coast. Switching time zones, he is averaging nearly four more points per game and getting easy looks in transition. He adds another dimension to the Warriors – a dimension that is leading to wins.

The Detroit Pistons are fighting like a CW teenie-bopper drama. Pistons coach John Kuester benched point guard Rodney Stuckey with more than nine minutes left in the third quarter of a tight game with the Atlanta Hawks. Stuckey responded by pouting on the bench and twice ignoring the coach’s calls for him to return to the action. Stuckey’s backup, Will Bynum is out with a hamstring injury. The Pistons, at 0-5, can’t do without Stuckey if they are to get a win and contend for a playoff spot.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the New York Giants with a concussion suffered in a 33-3 loss to Oakland last week that saw the signal caller get sacked eight times. Former Clemons star Charlie Whitehurst, who has yet to attempt a pass in his NFL career, will get the start in his place.
