Hondo
Hondo’s Giant wagers
Hondo pushed with Stanford Friday night but scored with the Royals in a Game 1 sweat job, so the deficit dropped to 1,345 mccoveys.
Saturday night: Mr. Aitch will load up on the Giants — 10 units on that Bumgarner and 10 on San Fran to advance to the Series. In collegiate play, 10 units on Notre Dame to hammer the Heels.

EZWINNERS
EZ's Plays For Saturday
Cashed in a winner on Thursday with the Colts over the Texans. I'm not playing anything on Friday. My five college football selections for Saturday are posted below. Best of luck.
-EZ
2* (117) Rice Owls +1
The Rice Owls seem to have things back on track with back to back wins after their 0-3 start to the season. Army is coming off of an upset win against Ball State last week, but the Cadets rarely win back to back games as they are 0-11 straight up in after their last eleven wins. The Army defense should have a hard time getting off of the field against a Rice team that usually owns time of possession while the Rice defense is familiar defending the option. The defending Conference USA champs should get back to .500 this week. Play on Rice.
2* (154) Mississppi State Bulldogs +3
This is a very even matchup in my opinion and in the battle of unbeaten teams I side with the home underdog. The SEC is loaded this season and any team can beat another from week to week. Mississippi State is setup nicely having been at home for a second week in a row having a fairly easy win over Texas A&M last week. Auburn took advantage of an LSU offense that is not very good in their revenge win last week. The Bulldogs offense is clicking and has excellent quarterback play and will test this Auburn defense. Take the points.
2* (175) North Carolina Tar Heels +17
The Fighting Irish tend to play to the level of the competition as they have played close games with both Syracuse and Purdue this season that are not very good teams. North Carolina does not have a good record either, but they do have a lot of offensive talent that can put points on the board. The Heel's uptempo offense presents some challenges the Irish defense has yet to face this season. This is a huge spread to ask the Irish to cover with their biggest game of the year on deck next against Florida State. Take the points.
2* (188) Texas A&M Aggies -2
The Aggies are coming off of their first loss of the season last week at Mississippi State, while Ole Miss is coming off of one of the biggest wins in the recent history of the program. The Aggies won 41-38 in Oxford last season and while Johnny Football is gone, Texas A&M offense is running the same system with Kenny Hill and their defense is improved over last season. It will be tough for Ole Miss to match last weeks intensity on the road at night in College Station. Lay the points.
2* (167) USC Trojans -2.5
This is a big let down spot for Arizona after knocking of Oregon on the road last week. USC is at the opposite end of the spectrum having lost on a Hail Mary to Arizona State last week. The Trojans defense does have its issues, but I expect them to get enough stops to win and cover this game. USC quarterback Cody Kessler is playing well and I like the Trojan offense to win this one in a shootout against a Wildcats team that is still enjoying last week's upset win. Lay the points.

River City Sharps
The Akron/Miami (OH) series is one that has been dominated by the Redhawks in recent years as they are 12-3 straight up in the last 15 games between these two schools. Most of the RCS long term clients know that Akron has been a very popular “fade” team for us and that strategy has made RCS and our clients a lot of cash! That said, this is not your typical Akron team and HC Terry Bowden has done a nice job in methodically building back the Zips football program. For Miami, they finally got an FBS win last weekend with a 42-41 victory over UMass. We feel that we have caught Akron here in a really nice spot. You get the Zips off a “sleepy” effort vs. Eastern Michigan, a game they eventually won 31-6. That was a letdown spot off a program building win the week before at Pittsburgh. Then we get Miami that finally got an FBS win, albeit a one-point decision over a pretty bad UMass team. We get Akron at home looking to get back to playing 60 solid minutes and this sets up well for us to cash the ticket. Miami is 1-4 ATS vs. teams with a winning record and the Zips are 4-1 in their last five games following an ATS loss. We are backing the home team in this spot. The Sharps say…
3 UNITS – AKRON -13.5
