Actually, last year they had Penn State over Michigan State..it was an easy winner. The prior two years they lost with Iowa (vs Minny)..you are correct..and Mizzou (against Texas A&M)..Prior to that, they won their first 9 in a row on this release (dating back to 1996). We need this play...

NJN -2 vs NYK
I like the Nets for today to get their first win of the season, as I expect a great team effort from them by searching to finally put their names in the winning column.
The Nets are winless this season with a 0-12 record, but that doesn't mean that they weren't competitive. In fact we should praise them, as with just 8 players in their rotation, they were able to remain competitive. I remember that in their last game, they were leading by 48-41 at the break the game against the Bucks and that they only lost in the last second in Miami against the Heat. Basically this team failed to perform in the fourth quarter because they lacked a truly go-to guy down the stretch. Unfortunately for them, their go-to guy has been Rafer Alston and he has been absolutely dismal in the team's last games. Over the last 4 games, Alston shot 1-10, 2-12, 3-9 and 7-20 from the field and naturally that you can't win with such terrible numbers from your go-to guy. The good news for the Nets is that PG Devin Harris is probable for today and he will play today. So, you can expect him to carry the ball in the final possessions for the Nets and that's a major boost for them.
The Knicks are the best team that the Nets could face to snap their losing streak. They are coming from a nice win in Indiana (which I correctly predicted), as they took advantage of the physical letdown from the Pacers and outscored them by 34-17, so they are "happy" going for this contest and I doubt that they will put the same effort on the court than the Nets. The Knicks are dead last in rebound margin with -7.73 rebounds per game and I expect the Nets with Brook Lopez to spank the Knicks down low. I know that the Nets have been terrible on the offensive end, but the Knicks are the second worst defensive team in the league allowing 109.5 ppg and 50.2 % from the field - worst mark in the league. At the same time for a run and gun team, they are only shooting 43.8% from the field, so naturally we are not dealing with a good team.
After this game the Nets will be on the road facing the always tough Western Conference teams like Denver, Portland or the Lakers and so, this is a pivotal game for them. Take the Nets in here for their first win of the season.

Is there a more frustrated team than UConn?? All 5 of their losses have been by 4 or fewer points and against one of the toughest schedules in the nation. UConn, at 4-5, is still fighting to become bowl eligible and a win today would be huge for them!! The Irish passing attack has been the back bone of this team all season but today they will find it difficult against a very good UConn pass defense. We all know UConn will run and they will be very effective against this Irish team that has struggled all season to stop it giving up an average of 4.6 yards per carry. Take UConn knowing they are 5-0 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L5 on the road while Notre Dame 1-7 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L8 as a fave!! <o></o>

***UNDERDOG GAME OF THE YEAR***<o></o>
Last year <st1lace>Rutgers</st1lace> pounded the Cuse by 18 as a 14 point home fave and now this year an 8-2 RU opens as a 7.5 point road fave against the 3-7 <st1:city><st1lace>Orange</st1lace></st1:city>?? Seem fishy?? The public doesn’t think so BUT I DO!! Folks, despite their 8-2 mark I still maintain that RU is over-rated!! Their offense just hung 31 on <st1lace>South Florida</st1lace> which is only the 2<sup>nd</sup> time all year they scored 30 or more; the first time was against a horrible <st1:state><st1lace>Maryland</st1lace></st1:state> team!! The public loves to love <st1lace>Rutgers</st1lace> because in recent years they have been a covering machine but look for all of that to end today!! The Cuse is one of the best in the nation at stopping the run and RU relies heavily on the ground game to set up their passing attack. They will struggle today!! The Cuse may only be 3-7 but they have played a VERY tough schedule and have been competitive in every game!! Meanwhile, RU sits at 8-2 but worth noting that their schedule has been laughable, ranking a pathetic 113th in the nation!! So let’s not get too excited about <st1lace>Rutgers</st1lace> folks because this one has UPSET written all over it!! I went against RU last time out against USF and got waxed but it’s not happening today!! This is a bigger game for the Cuse than many of you may know for the reason that the Cuse recruits a lot out of players out of <st1lace>Jersey</st1lace> – in order to continue to attract that talent they MUST win today!! It is important to note that <st1lace>Rutgers</st1lace> is just 9-22 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L31 after a game where they forced 4 or more turnovers. It is also important to note that Syracuse allowed just 34 rushing yards on 35 carries against Louisville and the Orange are an incredible 15-3 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L18 at home games after allowing 75 or less rushing yards. Look for <st1lace>Rutgers</st1lace> to come crashing back to Earth today!! I loved the Cuse at the opening of 7.5 and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Joe Public for driving the number higher!! For more on this topic please visit www.fadingthepublic.com

YES, I actually do play faves when it’s warranted!! Northwestern is always a great home play as a dog but this line is just begging you to take them in my opinion especially knowing they are coming off impressive B2B road wins over Iowa and Illinois!! On paper the NW defense appears solid including the fact that they have only given up 138 yards per game on the ground. But folks, don’t be mislead by this number!! The reality is the Cats have not seen a run offense like this all season and their run defense will be exposed big time!! Look for the Badgers to jump out early and for NW to fail in their efforts to play from behind!!<o></o>

I know LSU struggled last week with La Tech but that creates our line value here when you combine it with Ole Miss’ emotional blowout win over an over-rated <st1:state><st1lace>Tennessee</st1lace></st1:state> squad!! Look for Ole Miss to fall flat on their faces today!! And it helps knowing that LSU is an impressive <st1:date month="11" day="5" year="2001">11-5-1</st1:date> <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L17 as a road dog of 3.5 to 10 points and that the dog has covered 8 of the L9 meetings!!<o></o>

Stanford is coming off huge B2B wins over <st1:state><st1lace>Oregon</st1lace></st1:state> and <st1:stockticker>USC</st1:stockticker> and when you combine this with the cardinal success at home we get tremendous line value today. However, with those wins Stanford has quickly moved to the unfamiliar role of playing hunted instead of the hunter and kids at this level typically fail in unfamiliar roles!!

This is a bigger game for the Cuse than many of you may know for the reason that the Cuse recruits a lot out of players out of <st1lace>Jersey</st1lace> – in order to continue to attract that talent they MUST win today!! It is important to note that <st1lace>Rutgers</st1lace> is just 9-22 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L31 after a game where they forced 4 or more turnovers. It is also important to note that Syracuse allowed just 34 rushing yards on 35 carries against Louisville and the Orange are an incredible 15-3 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L18 at home games after allowing 75 or less rushing yards. Look for <st1lace>Rutgers</st1lace> to come crashing back to Earth today!! I loved the Cuse at the opening of 7.5 and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Joe Public for driving the number higher!!

Northwestern is always a great home play as a dog but this line is just begging you to take them in my opinion especially knowing they are coming off impressive B2B road wins over Iowa and Illinois!! On paper the NW defense appears solid including the fact that they have only given up 138 yards per game on the ground. But folks, don’t be mislead by this number!! The reality is the Cats have not seen a run offense like this all season and their run defense will be exposed big time!! Look for the Badgers to jump out early and for NW to fail in their efforts to play from behind!!<o

You better believe I will bite especially knowing that Ole Miss is coming off their biggest offensive output in <st1:stockticker>SEC</st1:stockticker> playing racking up 42 points marking the first time they put up more than 30 in a conference game and only the 2<sup>nd</sup> time they put up more than 23!! I know LSU struggled last week with La Tech but that creates our line value here when you combine it with Ole Miss’ emotional blowout win over an over-rated <st1:state><st1
lace>Tennessee</st1lace></st1:state> squad!! Look for Ole Miss to fall flat on their faces today!! And it helps knowing that LSU is an impressive <st1:date month="11" day="5" year="2001">11-5-1</st1:date> <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L17 as a road dog of 3.5 to 10 points and that the dog has covered 8 of the L9 meetings!!<o></o>PREDICTION: LSU 27 OLE MISS 17<o

However, I will back <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> as their offense is rolling right now and I don’t see that stopping today!! <st1:city><st1lace>Marshall</st1lace></st1:city>’s offense has been inconsistent and untimely mistakes have cost them games. Look for <st1:stockticker>SMU</st1:stockticker> to take advantage of mistakes and to ultimately wear down the <st1:city><st1lace>Marshall</st1lace></st1:city> defense resulting in a huge road win for the Mustangs.

lace>Oregon</st1lace></st1:state> and <st1:stockticker>USC</st1:stockticker> and when you combine this with the cardinal success at home we get tremendous line value today. However, with those wins Stanford has quickly moved to the unfamiliar role of playing hunted instead of the hunter and kids at this level typically fail in unfamiliar roles!! Stanford relies heavily on the run to set up their passing attack and that won’t be easy today against one of the stingiest run defenses in the nation!! It is worth noting that <st1:state><st1lace>Cal</st1lace></st1:state> is an incredible <st1:date month="5" day="13" year="2001">13-5-1</st1:date> <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L19 as a road dog.

lace>Oregon</st1lace></st1:state> wins and covers today!! However, we will find out exactly WHY they play the games!! <st1:state><st1lace>Arizona</st1lace></st1:state> is coming off a disappointing road loss to <st1:state><st1lace>Cal</st1lace></st1:state> but perhaps they got caught looking ahead to this game, a game that not only has huge conference championship implications but also a huge revenge game for <st1:state><st1lace>Arizona</st1lace></st1:state>!! <st1:state><st1lace>Arizona</st1lace></st1:state> has surprised many this season and is playing with a chip on their shoulders. We all know Oregon struggles on the road and I don’t see today being any different especially knowing the Ducks are just 1-4 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L5 as a road fave of 3.5 to 10 points!! And remember, they were just in this spot 2 weeks ago at Stanford and they got blasted!! Meanwhile, <st1:state><st1lace>Arizona</st1lace></st1:state> is an impressive 11-3 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L14 at home overall including 4-0 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L4 as a home dog, and interestingly enough <st1:stockticker>ALL</st1:stockticker> 4 games were against RANKED opponents!! Additionally, the Cats are also 6-1 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L7 home games when playing a team with a winning record on the road and 6-2 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L8 off a SU loss!! Lastly, it is worth noting the home team is an impressive 4-1 <st1:stockticker>ATS</st1:stockticker> L5 meetings!! Look for it to be electric in <st1:state><st1lace>Arizona</st1lace></st1:state> tonight and for the Cats to take a huge step towards their first Rose Bowl berth in history!!
