SOUTH FLORIDA -1.5
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For a number of different reasons I feel the value in this matchup is on visitors: The Scarlet Knights forced six turnovers in a 49-16 win in Tampa last season—the Bulls’ widest margin of defeat since joining the Big East and their third straight loss overall; suffice to say, I expect South Florida to play with "revenge" on its mind this evening.
Last time out the Bulls opened up the playbook for QB B.J. Daniels against West Virginia and the result was his third 100-yard rushing game of the season and also passed for three TD's.
South Florida possesses a couple of the best pass-rushing duo's in the leauge in DEs George Selvie and Jason Pierre-Paul and I expect them to keep Rutgers QB Tom Savage on his toes all evening.
Remember, the Bulls are 7-2 SU their last nine and dating back to last season 8-4 SU their last 12 on the road.
On the other side of the field: With four games left in the regular season, the Scarlet Knights are officially out of the Big East title race.
Savage has grown into his starting roll, but is still very raw; this time last year he was a high-school senior.
The Scarlet Knights have struggled to generate a consistent ground attack, particularly in short-yardage spots around the goal line.
Keep in mind that Rutgers is 0-4 ATS at home this season.
Bottom line: “Rutgers was definitely a game that we marked on our calendars after how they beat us last year,” Daniels said. “We are doing the things that we need to do to get ready and we just have to execute come game time.”
Look for SOUTH FLORIDA to play with a concerted effort on both sides of the ball tonight as they look to erase their three game losing streak to the Scarlet Knights and improve to 3-2 ATS its last five as an underdog as Rutgers falls to 1-4 ATS as a favorite!

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS -3
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Bear defense is deplorable right now and even Alex Smith at QB can pick apart this secondary. Da Bears are allowing 4.9 yards per carry, and that is what San Fran is rushing for per carry! Expect to see San Fran pound the rock and move the chains, and open up the middle seas mfr passing lanes to expose. San Fran at home as well, long road trip for the Bears, who are off a very bad game where they were shredded on defense. The Bears lost their last road game by 35 points.
Play 1 Unit on San Fran. thanks and good luck..Tony G.[/FONT]

MIAMI-OHIO +3.5
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]When the RedHawks host the Falcons in MAC play Thursday night at Fred C. Yager Stadium they will do so knowing they are 8-1 SU and ATS in this series, including 4-0 SU and ATS as a dog. From our powerful database we find that college football home dogs playing off one loss exact as a road dog of more than 14 points in which they covered the spread are 11-4-1 ATS (7-0-1 ATS last eight) if they won their previous game SU as a home dog, including 5-0 ATS from Game Ten out. With Bowling Green off an 'inside-out-win' in which they were outstatted by 50 yards, and Miami off an inside-out-loss' in which they won the stats by 111 yards, we'll grab the points here tonight. We recommend a 3-unit play on Miami Ohio.[/FONT]

BALL STATE +17.5
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Northern Illinois has posted some big wins this season, including 50-6 over Eastern Michigan last week, but this line is inflated. The Huskies have a very one dimensional offense (230 RYPG, 135 PYPG) making them not likely to consistently cover spreads such as this one. Ball State has gone 8-1 ATS as a road underdog the past three seasons (3-0 ATS this year) and while perhaps no team in the country has fallen farther from last year, it is worth noting that the Cardinals have won their last two trips to DeKalb and LY totally dominated NIU 45-14 while forcing seven three and outs and holding a 529-275 edge in total yards. Note that Ball State has played much better the last two weeks, recording their first win of the season, 29-27 over Eastern Michigan and then sticking with MAC East contender Ohio in a 20-17 loss. Five of their eight losses this year have come by a touchdown or less and only one has been by more than two touchdowns. Ball State is our 15* MAC Oddsmaker Mismatch. [/FONT]

Cleveland vs. Miami
I've been riding the Miami Heat some lately and after looking at this game am prepared to line up with them here tonight in this big TNT battle with LeBron and the Cavaliers. I've got news for you, it is not just about Dwayne Wade with this bunch. Quentin Richardson is performing well and the bench has been strong. Heat are playing solid ball on both ends of the floor. Should be a great game here but I'll back Miami once again to get the job done for us.

Thursday's Lineup
40 Dime --- 49ers FIRST HALF
20 Dime --- 49ers GAME (Buy the 1/2 point if your line is -3 or -3 1/2)
10 Dime --- Bowling Green-Miami (OH) OVER
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (FIRST HALF ONLY) --- Okay, for starters, I realize it's not easy to look at these two teams initially and find many positives right now. Both defenses are not playing as well as they did early in the season while both offenses are turning the ball over way too many times. But one thing stands out to me like a sore thumb, and I simply can't ignore it. The Bears absolutely SUCK in the first half. Over their last two games (and no, I'm not counting the game vs. the Browns since they aren't a real team), the Bears have faced the Cardinals and Bengals. Each team had five possessions in the first half. 8 touchdowns, 2 field goals, no punts. Did you hear me? No punts. Both the Cards and Bengals marched up and down the field on every possession in the first half, scoring at will, and rarely even going to third down. The biggest problem for this Bears' defense is the lack of linebackers, with both Brian Urlacher and Pisa Tiniosomoa on the shelf for the season. The secondary has been torched every week and DT Tommie Harris apparently cares more about punching opposing offensive linemen than he does tackling ball carriers and sacking the QB. Dude has some rage issues that take his mind off the task at hand, and that's a big part of the reason he's been so unsuccessful this season.
Doing further research on the Bears in the first half of games this year (again, I don't count the Cleveland game), I found that they have NEVER had the lead. Twice they went to the locker room tied (vs. Pittsburgh, 7-7, covering by a mere point and 21-21 with Detroit as a 5-point favorite). In every other game the Bears went to halftime trailing (including the Cincy and Arizona games, as previously mentioned)... 10-2 deficit at Green Bay (ATS loss), 13-7 deficit at Seattle (ATS loss), and a 14-7 deficit at Atlanta (ATS loss). This team has played 8 games so far this year, and they've gone to the locker room trailing or tied in every one of them. That's a 2-6 ATS halftime record this season, and one of those ATS wins was at home vs. Cleveland and the other was that 7-7 Pittsburgh halftime time as they were getting a point-and-a-half (before the Steelers really found their groove).
Bottom line: The Bears have proven, time and time again, they just don't come out of the locker room with any intensity... especially on the road (0-4 ATS). San Francisco, on the other hand, led Tennessee 17-10 at the half of last week's 34-27 loss to Tennessee, covering the 2-point first half line. The week before the Niners led the Colts 14-9 at the break as 7-point first half dogs. How about a 7-0 halftime lead over St. Louis as a four-point favorite... or a 14-13 lead at halftime over Minnesota getting 4 points in the first half. Or the 13-10 halftime lead over Seattle as a pick 'em. Or a 13-6 lead in Arizona getting three-and-a-half. Only twice have the Niners not covered the halftime line this season (6-2 ATS in the first half). So, to sum it up, the Niners are 6-2 ATS in the first half while the Bears are 2-6 ATS in the first 30 minutes... that's a 12-4 ATS trend in our favor. I expect the Niners to have at least a seven-point lead as the two teams head to the break, and all we're being asked to give is a point-and-a-half.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS GAME (be sure to buy the half point if your line is -3 or -3 1/2) --- As a continuation of my previous analysis, I not only expect the Niners to dominate the first half, I expect them to win this game outright. HC Mike Singletary would love nothing more than to exact revenge on the team he played with for so many years as an All Pro LB. The key for tonight's victory relies heavily on the running attack of Frank Gore vs. the Chicago linebackers. As I mentioned, Chicago has lost Urlacher and Tiniosomoa for the season, leaving a rather large void in the linebacking corps. If Gore can get going early, it will open things up for Vernon Davis over the middle and Michael Crabtree on the outside. It's also a bonus for the Niners that they can use Gore in the passing game, because you know Lovie Smith is going to bring constant pressure in an attempt to disrupt the timing of shaky starting QB Alex Smith. Let's also keep in mind that Smith was in a run-happy offense when he played for Urban Meyer at Utah, so it's not like he's averse to tucking it away and running when things break down.
The Niners rank 5th in the NFL against the run, meaning this offense is going to rely heavily upon QB Jay Cutler and his receivers. Since he's thrown 12 INTs already on the season, this plays right into the hands of the Niners' DBs. Matt Forte just isn't getting the job done in the backfield, meaning Chicago will either abandon the run altogether or put in some special plays to get the ball in his hand. Either way, this game means more to San Francisco if they want to get back in the NFC West race. The Niners are a very good ATS team under Singletary, covering 8 of the last 13 times they've stepped on the field (two pushes) and they've covered 4 of their last 6 at home. I believe San Francisco not only wins this game, but I believe they win it comfortably.
MIAMI, OHIO/BOWLING GREEN OVER --- One thing I've learned from capping the MAC... things don't always turn out as they seem. Teams that have no business staying within two touchdowns of their opponent end up either winning outright, or keeping the game close enough to stay within the number. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but then again, I'm not sure it's supposed to. What finally did it for me was watching this same Miami, Oh. team nearly upset Temple last week as a double-digit dog. Miami had absolutely no business scoring 32 points on Temple, but a closer look at the numbers found that Temple's lone weakness on defense was vs. the pass... and sure enough, Miami exploited it. Since they realized early on that Temple was stopping their run game (22 carries for 52 yards), they looked to veteran QB Zack Dysert to lead them back from a 21-3 deficit. He did. Dysert completed 31 of 51 passes for 426 yards and three TDs, giving Miami a 32-31 lead late in the game. Miami has scored nearly 30 PPG over their last three, now that they've realized Dysert is more than capable of leading this team on quick scoring drives down the field. Tonight, they get back into the 30s again.
As for Bowling Green, they're coming off a game in which they also scored 30 points... a 30-29 win over Buffalo last week. Much like Miami, the Falcons trailed by double digits in that game (29-16) and had to rally via the pass to pull off the win (or in Miami's case, at least grab the lead). A big reason for the sudden outpouring of points... QB Tyler Sheehan and WR Freddie Barnes. Sheehan was 22 of 40 for 313 yards and a TD because they couldn't run the ball. Like Miami, Bowling Green had just 50 yards rushing that game but still managed 30 points. Bowling Green can score with the best of them when this passing game's clicking, and with a bowl berth on the line, you can bet it'll be clicking tonight.
Both Miami and Bowling Green rush for less than 70 yards per game and throw it for 275 or more, which tells me three things. First, both of these teams have the ability to score quickly because not only do they throw the ball, they throw it downfield and have the capability to cash in on long pass plays. Second, in throwing the ball so much, there are going to be at least 30-40 incomplete passes... and incomplete passes stop the clock. Running teams tend to grind out the clock, passing teams keep it alive. Third, passing teams also have the propensity to get picked off, and an interception is easily able to be returned for a TD... seven more points in our favor in a matter of seconds. So as you can see, this is going to be a long, high-scoring game that goes easily over 57 points.

Cleveland @ Miami
8:00pm Tonight
3.5 Dime Play Take Miami -1 Ok, the biggest reason I like Miami here is because they are in the same situation that Cleveland was in last night. Not the fact that they need to prove they are a good team, but the fact they are playing a team who just played late last night, 2nd game on the road in a row, and the line has moved complete reversal against the public as it was last night. I could have made this a 4 Dime play easy, but the Cav's did play well last night.

Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Central.
Heat are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference.
Heat are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

8:00pm Tonight
3.5 Dime Play Take Miami -1 Ok, the biggest reason I like Miami here is because they are in the same situation that Cleveland was in last night. Not the fact that they need to prove they are a good team, but the fact they are playing a team who just played late last night, 2nd game on the road in a row, and the line has moved complete reversal against the public as it was last night. I could have made this a 4 Dime play easy, but the Cav's did play well last night.
