4* on Oregon State +1 (-110 betus)
Oregon State got the signature win they needed last week by beating up on Arizona State 28-17 on the road. Now they return home ready to take the next step, a place where the Beavers have been very tough to beat this decade. Oregon State 24-11 ATS (+11.9 Units) in home games after allowing 100 or less rushing yards last game since 1992. The Beavers are 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) in weeks 5 through 9 over the last 3 seasons. Oregon State is 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) in October games over the last 3 seasons. Head coach Mike Riley always has his team playing at their best this time of the season. It's not by chance, either, this guy is one of the most underrated head coaches in the country. Stanford is 1-1 on the road, losing at Wake Forest and beating Washington State, which was expected of course. OSU is finding their stride and will not be denied at home Saturday. Take Oregon State and the points.

4* on New Mexico State +12.5(-110 Sia)
New Mexico State should not be catching double-digit points at home against a 1-3 Utah State squad Saturday. NMSU has put together 2 wins this season, including a big road victory at New Mexico. This team is improved under new head coach DeWayne Walker and they won't be folding against the Aggies Saturday. Utah State is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 10.5 or greater. This team shouldn't be favored this heavily against anyone. New Mexico State is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games after accumulating less than 275 total yards in their previous game. The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in this series. Take New Mexico State and the points.

5* Gators/Tigers CBS Saturday Night Showdown on LSU +8(-109 at 5dimes)
With the questions surrounding Tim Tebow, the clear play is on LSU Saturday. Even if Tebow does play, he won't be on top of his game. He'll be very rusty and worried about getting hit after suffering a concussion. LSU just keeps finding ways to win, and though they have not blown anybody out, you can't fault the Tigers for that. The Tigers have had this one circled on their calendars for a year, and when playing at home down in Baton Rouge, the place will be rockin' Saturday night. LSU's defense is ranked 16th nationally after allowing 14.8 points/game through four games, and this unit gives them a great chance to win outright Saturday. Charles Scott showed he could carry the load last week in their 20-13 win at Georgia, rushing for 95 yards and two touchdowns. QB Jordan Jefferson was calm under pressure, and that experience at Georgia last week will give him a lot of confidence heading into this SEC showdown. The Tigers are 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 games as an underdog of 3.5-10.0. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in this series. Take LSU and the points.

5* Yellow Jackets/'Noles ESPN 2 Eruption Florida State -2.5(-110 at bookm)
Florida State players will take it upon themselves to win this one for Bobby Bowden. This is only the second time in Bowden's tenure with the Seminoles that his team has started the season 2-3. He is getting drilled in the media this week, and now it's up to the players to right the ship against Georgia Tech Saturday in support of one of the best head coaches of all-time. FSU hosts Georgia Tech, a team they lost to 28-31 on the road last season. Now that they are more familiar with Paul Johnson's system, look for the 'Noles to stop his triple-option attack this week. Tech rushed for 288 yards on Florida State last year and still only managed to win by a field goal, so don't expect the Yellow Jackets to put up those kind of numbers on the ground again in the 2009 meeting. FSU is 6-0 SU in their last 6 home games vs. Georgia Tech and 12-1 SU in all meetings with the Yellow Jackets since 1992. So you can see how rare that loss really was to the Yellow Jackets last season. FSU is only giving up 3.0 yards/carry at home this season, so they are stopping the run very well. Their weakness is in their pass defense, but Georgia Tech only averaging 13 passing attempts/game. All factors favor the Seminoles, most importantly the motivational factor to win this one for their head coach. Take Florida State and lay the points.

$300.00 Take ‘Under’ 55 Eastern Michigan at Central Michigan (Noon, Saturday, Oct. 10)
This is somewhat of a rivalry game between two in-state schools. And as a result I expect it to be a bit harder hitting and a bit more of a “grind” than normal. But mainly I think that the Central Michigan defense is going to smother the Eastern Michigan offense. EMU recently lost do-it-all quarterback Andy Schmidt and their attack is in completely diarray. Without their quarterback, EMU will be forced to try to run the ball more and shorten this game.In the last two years there have been 108 and 93 points scored. But this year the total is still only in the 50’s? I smell something fishy. The ‘under’ is 23-10 when Eastern Michigan plays on turf and it is 5-2 when they are on the road. The ‘under’ is 16-7 when EMU is an underdog of 10.5 or more and it is 9-4 when Central Michigan is a home favorite. I like a big CMU blowout and this one to settle somewhere around 38-10.
$500.00 Take ‘Under’ 46.5 Indiana at Virginia (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10)
Weather could be a factor in this game and, even before I read the weather report, I had already liked the ‘under’ in this game. This is kind of an awkward nonconference matchup and neither one of these teams nor coaches is very familiar with the other’s system. I think that’s going to lead to both clubs “dancing around the ring” a bit and we should see a very low-scoring affair. Indiana has gone ‘over’ in three straight games. But they really do not have that strong of an offense and have been relying on the big play to get the job done. This team is just 72nd in the country in yards gained and just 73rd in points scored. Virginia is the same thing. They have gone ‘over in two of three games. But they are 118th in total yards and a terrible 104th in points scored. If you add up the average points scored by UVA and points allowed by Virginia you only get 43.9. If you do the same for the UVA defense and IU offense you still only get 49.4. That leaves us right around that 46.5 and that’s where the teams got the numbers. But what those raw stats don’t consider is the quality of opponent and opposing offense and defense that the clubs have played. Virginia has scored less than 20 points in eight of 10 games and Indiana has managed less than 24 points in seven of 10.
$300.00 Take ‘Under’ 52.0 Ohio at Akron (6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10)
This is really an important game for the Bobcats. But it’s going to be tough to go into the Rubber Bowl and get a win. This Ohio team scored 44 points in a shootout at Bowling Green last week but their veteran defense also got hit for 37 points. I think that they went back to the drawing board this week and got a lot of those problems corrected. They have faced two pretty good offenses (they played Tennessee the week before) and now I think that they will be able to slow down the Akron attack now that the Zips are without veteran quarterback Chris Jacquemain. Jacquemain has been suspended from the team and Akron has managed just 21 points per game in their last two outings. This team knows it won’t score as much as they were used to and will have to run the ball in order to keep this one close. I expect a very competitive game and I see these teams scoring three points per trip rather than seven. Ohio has been a good bounce back defense, going 1-4 against the total after giving up more than 280 passing yards. I think they come back strong and keep this one ‘under’.
$600 Take #329 Alabama (-5) over Mississippi (7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10)
I simply think that Alabama is the much stronger team here. Nick Saban has his team going after a national title and I don’t think that they will slip up in Oxford. And all of the sharp money early in the week pushed this line up from 4.5. I’m going to follow that line movement because we’re still under that key number of a touchdown. This has been a really tight series lately but I actually think that the oddsmakers are trying to bait action on an inferior team (Ole Miss). This might be the best team that Alabama has had this decade and I just think that they are going to overpower an overrated Mississippi team. Ole Miss is a bit too much of a “finesse” team. And the last time Alabama faced a team like that (Arkansas) they won by four touchdowns. Alabama is 9-2 ATS as a favorite, 6-1 ATS on the road, and 6-1 ATS in their last seven conference games. I think that the Crimson Tide get a “statement” win and I think that they take this one by double digits.
$300.00 Take #391 Idaho (+4) over San Jose State (8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10)
The Vandals are 5-0 ATS this year! So far Idaho has been the most profitable team in the country mainly because no one bets their games. A lot of people probably didn’t even know that they had a team! But they have started 4-0 and have been impressive while they are doing it. They actually covered three of their last four games to close last season so that’s an 8-1 ATS run for this program. San Jose State really is having problems moving the ball on offense.

FIU -3.5 over WESTERN KENTUCKY
The Hilltoppers have been outscored by 28.8 ppg and that includes a 21 point home loss to FCS foe Central Arkansas. That's pitiful. FIU may be 0-4 on the year but have taken on a tougher schedule than WKU and have been outscored by just 14.3 ppg in those games. FIU is clearly the stronger team in this one and my Power Ratings call for them to win by 15. I agree.
OKLAHOMA -25 over Baylor
The Sooners are 8-0 ATS atv hjome before BB road games and 9-1 ATS off a SU & ATS loss vs opponent off a DD win. Oklahoma has outscored their home opponents by a 109-0 count and will take on a depleted bears squad that may be down to their 3rd string QB again in this one. Last week they did beat lowly Kent State 31-15, but were still outgained by 50 yards in the contest. Now they take on an angry OU squad, off a loss, that may have Bradford back. Look for the Sooners to flex their muscles in this one and come up with a 30+ point win.

Marshall -4 over TULANE
After allowing Va Tech 52 points the Herd have since allowed just 16 ppg in their next three games and will take on a struggling Tulane offense that has scored just 11 ppg in their 3 games vs FBS teams. Marshall's offense is capable of scoring some points and will face a Tulane defense that has allowed 34.8 ppg on the year. Marshall has won 2 of their last 3 since the Tech game, including a road win over a memphis squad that is better than this Tulane team. Look for Marshall to continue their improved play as they win this one by double digits. My Ratings have the Herd by 13.

triple-dime bet 354 Florida St. -3.0 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 353 Georgia Tech Analysis: NCAAF: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Florida State Seminoles - Florida State -3 -105 | Unit Value: 3 Unit "CIRCLE THE WA�GONS"
Game Date: 10/10/2009
Note: This game is available at +100 at some books. A nightime game in Tallahassee and Bobby Bowden has his back against the wall after two not so sporty losses at BC and South Florida. This is when his team performs the best and with all of the press on his ass about a number of things, his squad is likely to respond with a big win. They certainly of capable with a load of talent on the field and they proved they could play the big boys with a solid win at BYU. Ga Tech comes off a physical game at Miss State and they rely heavily on the run game. Reports from Florida tells me that Bowden and crew are going to clog up the line and make GT beat them through the air. This will be the 3rd Road Contest for the Yellow Jackets and in the previous 2 they have been outgained on offense. This setting Saturday Nite is not an easy one and especially on "Circle the Wagons" Nite. I am going to lay these small points

BRYAN LEONARD'S SATURDAY NCAA TOTAL DOMINATION
325/326 Miami Ohio at Northwestern
The Redhawk offense which was shut out twice to start the season is showing signs of progress. At the forefront is freshman QB Zac Dysert who started the last two weeks against Kent State and Cincinnati. Dysert is averaging a full 1.2 yards per passing attempt more than season opening starter Daniel Raudabaugh with a quarterback rating of 20 points higher. While the season to date offensive numbers for Miami look weak keep in mind they have faced the terrific defenses of Kentucky, Boise State and Cincinnati. Against Western Michigan and Kent State the offense looked fluid and this Northwestern stop unit hasn't shown the ability to resemble the big three defenses Miami faced earlier. Defensively Miami has really struggled. The opposition has dominated field position in every game this season. Miami's opponents have started their drives on average at their own 36, 41, 49, 47 and 35 yard line. Keep in mind the FBS average is 31 yards. With Miami allowing 6.1, 7.5 and 7.1 yards per play against non-MAC opposition the Wildcats could be in for a record setting offensive performance.
Northwestern has put up 24 points or more in every game this season. Over their last 20 home games they have averaged 27.4 points per game. If you throw out the two times they hosted Ohio State when they were held to 10 points a game you really see how explosive this team has been at Ryan Field Stadium. Defensively the Wildcats have allowed the questionable offenses of Eastern Michigan, Syracuse and Minnesota put up an average of 32 points per game against them.
Miami's offense is on the rise and this Northwestern defense has shown no inclination to slow them down. That said, Miami's defense is allowing 5.28 yards per carry and 7.07 yards per pass attempt. With conference games on tap for both these squads look for the offenses to pad their stats as this one flies over the posted total.

Play Title Burns' Big 10 TOTAL OF THE YEAR (80% YTD) *Nat TV!
Play Selected Total: 47/-104
I'm playing on Michigan and Iowa to finish UNDER the total. After putting up 30 or more points in each of their first four game, the Wolverines found the going much tougher last week, as they managed only 20 points in an overtime loss vs. Michigan State. Actually 20 points wasn't that bad, considering that the Wolverines managed only 251 yards, (a season-low) including a mere 28 on the ground. This week, they'll face an even tougher defense. The Hawkeyes' defense ranks third in the league allowing just 13.4 points. They also rank second with 14 forced turnovers. The fact that Iowa has not allowed a rushing touchdown in 33 quarters, dating to last season, says a lot about the type of defense this team is currently playing. Note that they held Penn State to only 307 total yards, forcing four turnovers. With that type of defense, it's no surprise that the Hawkeyes have seen four of their five games stay below the total. Looking back further and we find the UNDER at a profitable 20-9 the Hawkeyes' last 29 lined games. While the Michigan defense (allowing 23.4 ppg) hasn't been as stout as the Iowa defense, the Hawkeyes aren't exactly explosive on offense. As usual, Iowa likes to run the ball. They've had more than 30 rushing attempts in all five games, averaging more than 35. They're only averaging 3.9 yards per carry though. That adds up to a lot of second and third downs, where the clock is still moving. QB Stanzi is certainly capable, as he demonstrated in last week's big performance vs. Arkansas State. That said, he's now got seven interceptions, to go along with his eight touchdowns. Ferentz knows how important this game is (Hawkeyes have never been 5-0 with him as coach, let alone 6-0) and he knows that if he can limit Stanzi's mistakes, his team has a great chance. As a result, I expect another fairly conservative offensive gameplan. These teams haven't faced each other since 2006. However, if we look at the three meetings from 2004-2006 we find that all three of them produced 47 combined points or less. Those three games averaged only 38.67 points, most recently a 20-6 "defensive battle" in October of '06. I expect another relatively low-scoring affair here, with the final combined score staying beneath the generous number, the largest one Iowa has seen all year. *10 Top Big 10 Total

Click Here to View Pick Analysis
The most alarming fact in UTEP's 58-41 thumping of Houston is not the score. It definitely is the 305 yards rushing the Miners unleashed upon the matador defense of the Cougars. Today, they face a Mississippi State squad that should of upended L.S.U. a few weeks back. Houston does have a prolific passer in Case Keenum with a nice 13/2 TD/INT ratio but the pass defense he's up against limits opponents to 49% completions & 191 passing yards per game. When he entertains for the third staright week in Davis Wade Stadium @ Scott Field in Starkville, Mullen & his Dogs' are a solid 5-2 ATS. Now let's look at the seal this deal conference versus conference amazing fact. In the last 24 games Conference USA teams tangled with teams from the SEC, it's resulted in a 0-24 record for Conference USA. Despite losing line value from the opening mark, we're sticking with the Dogs'. The Mississippi State defense wins this one so our Matador Defense Exposed Plus 24-0 System says to put $200 on the Bulldogs.

The Louisiana-Lafayette Rajin' Cajuns have had time to think coming off a bye week & are now set to take on The North Texas Eagles (I think I like their old Mean Green nickname better)@ Cajun Field in Lafayette. The problem here is with laying any kind of points with a team that plainly can't score. Against lined teams this season, they are averaging a super-anemic 6.67 PPG. We can't overlook non-opportunistic stat of -6 in turnovers the last 3 games put up by Louisiana-Lafayette. On the other side of the ball, North Texas QB Riley Dodge put up 313 yards passing while running for 57 himself against Middle Tennessee State. Don't forget that teams with 17 returning starters installed as a dog who face an opponent off back-to-back losses are 15-2 ATS away from home. We think this dog is clearly barking out loud as are Not Worthy False Favorite With 15-2 System play says to put up $200 on the Eagles of North Texas & let's buy to + 7 1/2 as we cash in this dog at OUR number.

Click Here to View Pick Analysis
This title fits to the tee none other than Skip Holtz' Pirates of East Carolina. This happens to be the Pirates 4th road game in 5 weeks as they take on June Jones' charges @ Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas. The Pirates are a PERFECT 0-4 ATS as road favorites of more than 6 and have now lost 12 of 18 ATS going back to the beginning of last year. June Jones has the surface edge taking on East Carolina who have natural grass @ Dowdy-Ficklin Stadium. The Ponies were young last season but now return 16 starters including 51 letterman to the roster & are ready to make a little noise in Conference-USA action. A big factor in the Mustangs 2 wins this season has been Miami transfer Shawnbrey McNeal in the backfield. They've beaten a good UAB team on the road and should have the home crowd riled up after not having a home game for over a month. June Jones always has a master gameplan awaiting through the air as he did @ Hawaii. I expect to utilize it when situations permit against a defense of East Carolina rated 118th in pass defense efficiency in Division I-A. Speaking of "D", S.M.U. has a defense rated #1 in interceptions with 12 thus far and that's good enough for us to pull the trigger on the Mustangs as our Out Of Gas & On The Road In A Flat Spot play. Be happy & buy to + 7 1/2 & put up $200 on S.M.U.

The Michigan Wolverines have shown a little dependency on their run game. Word to your mother--Kirk Ferentz's crew are excellent run stuffers as they proved twice against Penn State in back-to-back years. You have that perfect setup here with Frosh Baby QB Tate Forcier invading tough Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City with no maturity in his resume'. The result will be turnovers as Michigan digs a whole they won't get out of by the 4th quarter. They've been fortunate enough by playing & winning 4 straight @ Ann Arbor. What happened when they go on the road for the first time? They lose to the Spartans and give up over 400 yards of total offense. If the Spartans found a way to control the Wolverines, think what Iowa will do. Michigan is giving up 31 PPG against legitimate opponents. Coach Rich Rodriguez is a putrid 1-10 ATS versus teams that have defenses who hold their opponents to 2 TD's or less. On the other side of the ball, QB Rick Stanzi seems to have the experience needed to take the Hawkeyes one step further. This is that perfect time for a statement to be made by Iowa that they may still be around for a Big Ten title game come November 14th when they invade Ohio Stadium in Columbus. Remember the Hawkeyes have been limping the last few games and now, Tony Moeaki, Bryan Bulaga & Derrell Johnson-Koulianos are ready with guns blazin'. Iowa has delivered BIG as a favorite of 3 1/2 to 10 points going a red-hot 10-2 against the number. The bottom line says if the Spartans can run stuff Michigan & hold them to under 30 yards on the ground, Iowa will also be up to the task. Iowa goes and gets their 10th win a row as they pull away in the 4th quarter and chew up Michigan's desperation. Our Running Game Stuffer Play is to take the Iowa Hawkeyes for $200 but buy to -6 1/2.

Click Here to View Pick Analysis
The Washington Huskies put a lot into that upset of USC and even more losing to Notre Dame on the road last week. They fit nicely into this system. When an overtime loser allows 35 or more points and are at home, they've gone a ticket-ripping 12-32-1 ATS. The Huskies go up against an Arizona team who already rushed for 900 yards winning 3 of their first 4 games. The Cats' are salivating after watching game film showing Notre Dame's 530 yards of total offense against the Huskies. Arizona's QB change to Nick Foles has been a change for the better as he was 25 of 34 for 254 yards & 3 TD's with no INT's versus Oregon State. We like the fact that the Wildcats had 2 weeks to prepare for this one and are up aginst a team that's running on fumes. In The Stats (ITS) shows Arizona dominating opponents to the tune of 412-288 total yards advantage. This is partly due to a very beefy offensive line that averages 6'5" & 313 pounds. The bottom line says Arizona is 6-0 their last 6 trips to Husky Stadium in Seattle and will win this one in a hard-fought game in the trenches. Smash-mouth football belongs to the Cats' as our Running On Fumes play says to take the Arizona Wildcats & buy down to -2 1/2 for $200.
