Monday Premium:
*Best Bet* Cincinnati Over (47') for 3.5 Units ***'
Cincinnati/Rutgers 4:00: We like the offensive opportunities that should materialize between these teams; for example, the Bearcats have just 1 returning starter on defense and face an offense with an experienced offensive line, deep running back corps, and quality QBs in Natale (Mich State transfer) and Lovelace (runner). On the other hand, the Bearcats' spread attack should continue their success with QB Pike returning along with a deep and talented supporting cast. The normally defensively stout Scarlet Knights will have a new defensive
coordinator and new specialty teams coach that may factor in yielding more points than normally, especially out of the gate in an opener. Cincy is 4-0 O/U as a road dog and 5-1 O/U in September. We'll go "over" here.
Miami Florida (+6') for 2.5 Units **'
Miami/Fla State 8:00: Things look bleak for the once dominant "U" with QB transfers and injuries. But hold everything! The 'Canes still had a solid recruiting class and return a solid nucleus from last year's bowl team. QB Jacory Harris has a good surrounding cast and won't have to carry the offense himself. He has a deep receiving corps and potent backfield. On the other hand, the 'Noles lost their top three tacklers and inexperience in key positions. Offensively, the 'Noles were sluggish in their recent scrimmage with penalties being the major problem. The 'Noles squeaked by in this matchup last year but they're only 1-4 ATS at home
vs an opponent with revenge. And with the dog at 7-0 ATS in this series, we'll grab the 'Canes.

Florida State (-6) over MiamiFlorida
8:00 PM -- Bobby Bowden Field at Doak S. Campbell Stadium
FLORIDA STATE (-6) over Miami Prediction: Florida State by 13-14 Starting Time: 8:00 TV: ESPN Comments: Both teams enter this game with major injuries on their defensive units and that means one thing points to a solid FSU win in this one. Florida State has a dramatically superior offense built around quarterback Christian Ponder who sitting on a break-out year behind one of the best offensive lines in the country—one that returns all five starters from last year.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #958 Colorado (-1.5, -120) over Cincinnati (3 p.m.)
1-Unit Play. Take #963 Tampa Bay (+165) over N.Y. Yankees (1 p.m., Monday, Sept. 7)
1-Unit Play. Take #965 Tampa Bay (+190) over N.Y. Yankees (7 p.m., Monday, Sept. 7)
This is my normal doubleheader chase. DON'T PLAY GAME 2 OF THIS DH IF WE WIN GAME 1. There has been some pitcher shuffling, so play both games as "Action".
