Strike Point
5-Unit Play. #313 Take Georgia Tech -5.5 over Virginia (10/24 Saturday - 12 p.m. EST)
A lot see this game as a letdown for Tech, but you can throw out the first month of the season for Virginia, because the Cavs are undefeated in ACC play, and that means in this a must win for the Yellow Jackets if they want to continue their push towards the conference title and a BCS game. And so far, nearly everyone has failed to stop Paul Johnson's dynamic triple option, as he has athletes and weapons all over in this brilliant system. After running over the likes of Mississippi State, Florida State and Virginia Tech in consecutive weeks, I just cannot see Virginia doing anything either. Tech is too locked in, and in every facet of the game this team is playing so well. Lay the number, Georgia Tech comes through with another impressive ACC win.
5-Unit Play. #382 Take Kansas State -4.5 over Colorado (10/24 Saturday - 12:30 p.m. EST)
This is not an overraction to the Wildcats' monster scoreline last week over Texas A&M, but simply following suit with what these two teams have shown this year. On the road this year Colorado has been one of the worst teams in the country. 0-3 away from Boulder, they have been outscored by 51 points on the road. Kansas State is 3-0 at home and have outscored opponents by 94 points in Manhattan. And let me just say the point differential this week won't be that drastic, but the success and failure on the road for Colorado and at home for Kansas State is too obvious to ignore. That, and Colorado never should have even won last week had it not been for a dropped TD pass by stud wide out Desmond Briscoe for Kansas. Touchdown victory for KSU.
5-Unit Play. #343 Take Louisiana Tech +1 over Utah State (10/24 Saturday - 3 p.m. EST)
I have not seen anything all season from Utah State to think they can knock off a more than solid Bulldogs team in this WAC match-up. Louisiana Tech has responded nicely after two road losses to begin the season by winning three of their last four overall. With Ross Jenkins under center and Daniel Porter running the ball, Louisana Tech has a very nice duo in the backfield and can put up some points. And the Aggies can allow some points, giving up nearly 33 per game. The trends hold up and La Tech gets back over .500 and perhaps push towards a bowl birth just the same.
5-Unit Play. #365 Take Idaho +15.5 over Nevada (10/24 Saturday - 4:05 p.m. EST)
Just cash, baby. All the Vandels have done this year is go 6-1 to start the year and cover all seven spreads in the process. And I for one don't care a bit that Nevada rung up 100 points in their last two home games in league play. Nevada hasn't played well against legit competition, so no reason to hop off the Idaho train just yet. The Wolfpack struggled against Missouri and Notre Dame, and even Colorado State, so even though Idaho is their own team, Nevada has not shown the same moxy against winning teams. Just because they are back in Reno, it doesn't automatically translate into success. Maybe this line suggests that it will, but we are not sold on that idea. Winning breeds confidence, and right now there might not be a more confidence and swagger boasting team than Idaho, and we back them again.
6-Unit Play. Game of the Month. #372 Take Toledo -2.5 over Temple (10/24 Saturday - 7 p.m. EST)
The injury that has not been factored into this line is the return of Toledo's quarterback and top player Aaron Opelt. After missing essentially the last two games, expect the Rockets and the offense to get back to racking up the yards and scoring points at home. Opelt and his 14 TDs is a big time threat in the MAC and really makes this offense go. Scoring over 33 points per game at home, Toledo will be too much for a Temple team, likely minus starting running back Bernard Pierce, that is only scoring a couple of touchdowns on the road. This one could start to get ugly in the second half. Toledo by double figures.
5-Unit Play. #383 Take Iowa PK over Michigan State (10/24 Saturday - 7 p.m. EST)
This isn't the week the Hawkeyes suffer their first defeat. Iowa continues to get the job done and rack up the wins. Just because it isn't pretty doesn't mean it is not effective. Iowa is 8-1 ATS in their last nine games vs. winning teams, and I am still not thoroughly convinced that the success Michigan State has had is legit enough to pull off the upset. The Hawkeyes return to Iowa City 8-0

triple-dime bet 398 Southern Cal -20.0 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 397 Oregon St.
Analysis:
CFB Game of the Month Play
First off this is a HUGEƒ Revenge Game for the Trojans, and I 110% expect the Trojans and their fans to be VERY UP for this ballgame on Saturday Night. Oregon St. was the only team to beat USC last year AT Oregon St. and that loss cost USC a shot at the national title & if you think for one second that Pete Carrol and Co. have not had this years game vs Oregon St. circled on their calendar, you are gravely mistaken IMO. The Trojan Defense is ranked in the Top 5 again this season, as they hold their opponents to a meager 2.1 yards per carry and 67 rushing yards overall per game. Matt Barkley and that USC offense looked very strong at Notre Dame last weekend, as Barkley threw for 380 yds, and USC amassed over 500 yds of offense and that offense looks very scary. I expect them to keep it going vs this Beavers defense on the road and in a VERY HOSTILE enviroment at night. I really do not see USC taking their foot off the gas pedal here & I think the Beavers are in serious trouble on Saturday Night. I look for the USC "D" to harras the Beavs all day as the Beavs allow way to many sacks (they rank 110th in the nation in sacks allowed) vs a Trojan "D" that ranks #1 in the nation in sacking the QB. USC has the team speed on defense to contain the Rodgers brothers & the pressure they will put on the Beavers offense will put Oregon St. in several 3rd and long downs, which will enable USC to get a couple turnovers and should give them a short field on a few occasions. Bottomline for me here, this is a GREAT SPOT to back USC, as they have MAJOR REVENGE going for them, they are playing AT HOME, AT NIGHT, and on NATIONAL TV, and I FULLY expect a very focused and motivated USC team, to blowout the Beavers in this spot in a Trojan MAXIMUM effort game, and this is my College Football Game of the Month Play.

double-dime bet 393 Auburn 8.0 (-110) bodog vs 394 LSU
Analysis: Auburn comes into this game having lost two straight games, and I look for a HUGE effort out of them in this spot vs conference rival LSU. LSU is coming off a loss vs Florida in their last game, and had a bye last week. Auburn has covered 3 of the last 4 in this series and the last 5 games in this series have ALL been decided byΠ6 pts or less,and I really expect that to be the same this Saturday. It also should be noted that LSU is just 2-12-1 their last 15 home games, and this matchup with a very potent Auburn offense will be no easy feat for LSU to not only cover the number, but for them to win straight up. I look for Auburns run game to have success and keep this game very close and I really believe this game could go either way straight up and I look for Auburn to cover the number for us on Saturday Night.
384 Michigan St. 1.5 (-110) sportbet vs 383 Iowa
Analysis: Iowa comes into this game still without a loss, and the public will be ALL over them in this spot, but I think the wrong team is favored and I like Michigan St. in this spot up to -2. Iowa's strength is not turning the ball over and their pass defense, however they do not defend the run all that great & I look for the Spartans to have success running the ball at home on Saturday Night. The Spartans have out gained its opponent in all but one game this year. The home team has won straight up in each of the last nine meetings in this series. Iowa is also playing their 2nd straight conference road game, as they are coming off a win over Wisconsin & I really believe they are in a tough spot here & I look for a very fired up Michigan St. team and crowd to come away with the victroy over this over-rated Iowa team on Saturday Night.

Saturday System Club Play W/ 2-37 angle GC-
On Saturday the system club play is on Texas.Tech. Game 352 at 7:00 eastern. Last week the Red raiders went into Lincoln and surprised the Huskers with a solid 31-10 win as a double digit dog. Today the come home to face a Texas A@M team that was blown out 62-14 at Kansas.St. This game could get ugly again for the Aggies as they will have a tough time stopping a potent Texas Tech offense that is averaging over 50 points per game at home. In the last 7 games here T.Tech has covered every time. The Aggies mean while have allowed well over 40 points in both games they have played away from home. When the Aggies lose on the road they are just 2-37 ats. They are 1-10 ats away with revenge vs an opponent that is off a double digit win. Look for Texas Tech to control this one. On Saturday I have a 6 unit BIG 12 Goy,which is even stronger than this game. The game is backed with an awesome 44-5 system that has cashed twice already this year and a 100% Power angle. Also on the card is this weeks Blowout system play which has cashed the last 3 weeks by a combined 166-33 score. This one will be blowout city as well. The dog of the week is backed with a 71-20 system and most likely will win outright as our team has superior edges on offense. Its all part of a huge guaranteed winning card on Saturday you wont want to miss.HOOPS PACKS ARE UP AND READY AS WELL. Take Texas Tech as the frree system club play. BOL GC
