CAPPSTERS_____
Today in NCAAF, we are on Western Michigam/Northern Illinois over 60. This conference has been built around good quarterbacks and quick strike offenses, without lots of defense. Both these teams are averaging about 37 ppg, and tonight we should see around 900 yards of total offense between these teams. Both teams use a balanced offense and can run the ball, but expect to see a couple of downfield long throw TD's along the way.
Today we are on Central Michigan -10 over Kent State in NCAAF. This conference is built on offense, but in this game, it is the lack of offense for Kent State that could hurt them tonight. They average just around 280 ypg on offense, and only score around 14 ppg. Central Michigan should use a terrific passing game to get down the field on Kent St. Rush has already thrown for 2980 yards this year or over 300 per game. With a completion rating around 70% and 22 TD's thrown, he may give the Kent State defense plenty of problems tonight. If Kent State falls behind, the offense isn't built to recover and come from behind.
In NCAAB, tonight we are on Cincinnati -13 over Bowling Green. In every single facet of the game, Cincinnati has the better team tonight. The Bearcats have averaged over 100 ppg so far this season, and they have 6 players scoring in double figures, and 8 that average 8 1/2 or more ppg. They are balanced and deep. The offense is dangerous, but it is the defense that makes them scary good. They give up just 57 points per game and don't give you any easy offensive trips. Bowling Green has to be considered in a rebuilding year. They only have 3 returning players who contributed 200 or more minutes on the floor last year. They could have a very tough season ahead.
Today we are on Richmond/Wake Forest over 153. Two completely different styles of play on hand tonight. The Spiders are a fast transition team . In thier last game, they shot 55% from the field, while they shot home 15 3's. They look for the open man, and seldom miss the open shot. Wake Forest is very different as they are huge up front. They start 4 underclassman who are all tall and will present very difficult matchups for the Spiders. While Richmond is probably the better shooting team, Wake Forest gets inside more, and gets higher percentage type shots. They should also dominate the rebounding battle.
In the NBA, take Chicago/Phoenix over 200.
