They lost QB Tune to inj, their 7th starter lost to inj and 5th for the season. Backup QB Thompson came in and played well but then broke his leg and is probably OFY. WR Riley Dodge, last year s starter who was not able to QB this year due to shoulder problems which limits his throwing, had to QB the rest of the game. Depth-shy NT did not play well vs Army. It was the first game all season NT had been outgained and outfd d...purdue lost its top RB in the spring then lost their top WR Keith Smith last week.

AF went on a pl drive even converting on 3&15 and got a TD with 10:43 left.

SMU got a TD with 2:08 left to extend it to 21 but WSU got a 67 yd TD pass on their next offensive play with 1:50 left to stay under the pointspread...say goodbye to the Heisman candidacy for Jake Locker. Team success is important but so is individual performance and Locker hit just 4--70. His % comp was the 3rd lowest in a single game behind Pat Julmiste of USF in 04 and Alan Evridge of KSt in 05 who completed 15% and.5%. NU s Taylor Martinez is trying to steal some of Denard Robinson s thunder as he was very impressive in his first road start rushing for 139 yards and hitting 7-11-150 passing. Nebraska led 28- at the half when Martinez took the 1st play of the 2H 80 yds for a TD.

They gave up a 97 yd KR for a TD and then an 80 yd PR for a TD but it was called back. Before the half, ASU got a 95 yd KR by Middlebrook but he was tkl d at the 1 as time ran out.

UW got 2 FD and ran out the clock...brandon Weeden hit 232-409 yds and had the 4th highest passing total in Oklahoma St history despite being pulled after 1 drive in the 3Q. OSU led 27-7 and Tulsa was trying to get back in it when they were at the OSU15 and were int in the EZ and returned 79 yds.

TCU extended it to 45-10 on a TD with 9:53 left and QB Andy Dalton hit 91% of his passes (21-23) which was a single game TCU & MWC record.

UK scored on their next 7 poss incl 6 straight drives for TD s. They led at the half with a 249-46 yd edge and UK had a 552-99 yd edge prior to the garbage drive...navy threw for 219 yards with 179 of them in the 1H but Louisiana Tech led 23- at the half and had a 32726 yd edge. Amazingly Navy came into the game allowing just 190 ypg but LT had 137 yards more than that at half. Navy went back to the ground game for the 2H adding just 40 more passing yards. With it tied at 23, LT was int d and Navy went 55/10pl incl a 4th & 2, 17 yd run to the 7. They got a TD with :31 left 1H to take the lead and their next drive went 81/8pl for a TD and LT did not threaten after that...florida was stopped on 4&1 at the UT43 and UT got 2 FD when Daniel Lincoln tied a career high with a 49 yd FG was the first time they scored first vs the Gators since 01.

UF went 60/9pl for a TD, 31-17 with 6:15 left...clemson dominated the 1H and had a 17-0 lead and a 267-68 yd edge scoring a TD with 1: left 2Q.

TURNOVERS: Marshall had 5 TO s to BG s 2. At the half MU had a 231-196 yd edge but BG led 28-. BG got the pt turnaround with a 78 yd IR TD and after another int drove yds for a TD for that 28- lead. MU had a 42 yd FG blk d to open the 3Q. BG fmbl d on their 1 and MU got a TD to tie at 28. BG got a 31 yd TD pass on 3&8 with 9:21 left then got a 2nd IR TD, this one 29 yds to make it 44-28 which was the final...western Michigan had a 24-11 FD edge over Toledo and 4-268 yd edge but could not overcome QB Alex Carder s 6 TO s and trailed 21-7 at the half. UT got a 24 yd FG on a 19 yd drive following a fmbl then got a 15 yd IR TD to lead 31-7. WM scored on their next 3 drives to make it 31-24 but UT got a 98 yd KR TD. WM s final 3 drives ended on an int at the UT27, were SOD at the UT31 and int at the UT... It s standard practice for LSU to be outgained once again, this time 267-262 but they came away with a comfortable 29-7 victory. Five TO s were the key and Patrick Peterson grabbed 2 tipped int with long returns showing why he is one of top CB s in college football. MSU QB Relf QB d the 1H and was int d at the LSU2 and 30. LSU led 12-0 at half with a 112-107 yd edge. MSU did gain 40 yds on their final 5 plays of the game to end with the yardage edge. CLOSE POINTSPREAD PLAYS: While Miami, Oh rolled to a 31-10 win over Colo St, they only had a 17-15 FD edge were outgained 306-299. CSU led 3-0 when they fmbl d a punt on their own 15 setting up a MU FG. MU got a 56 yd IR TD to lead 17. It was 17 at the half but with only a 139-1 yd edge. CSU was SOD at the MU2 and MU on 3&11 got a 62 yd TD pass with 2:35 left. CSU did drive 71/9pl getting a garbage TD with 1:19 left... N Illinois Coach Jerry Kill spent a good portion of the wk in the hospital but ret d to the field for the game. Illinois only had a 8 yd edge at the half and led -12. There were 7 punts on the first 8 poss of the 2H. NI got to the UI31 with :24 left then opted for a 48 yd FG which gave them the backdoor cover and pulled them within 6. UI rec d the ensuing onside kick and ran out the clock... The key to USC not covering was Lane Kiffin going for it on 2 pt conversions after 3 of their 5 TD s and failing on all 3. Kiffin has inexplicably gone for 2 pts TY seven times with USC converting twice. EXCITING FINISHES: UAB was SOD at the Troy28, fmbl d at the TU8, were SOD at the TU38, fmbl d at the TU26 and int at the TU10 in the 1H. Despite only a 338-273 yd deficit, they trailed 23-7. UAB opened the 3Q being int at the TU10 but battled back. Troy got a TD with 9:50 left to lead 33- but UAB went 60/4pl for a TD. Troy went on a pl drive and had a FD at the UAB40 but after a hold they punted with 1:09 left. UAB went 99 yds and on the last play threw a 44 yd Hail Mary pass for the miracle win, 343.

WF was outfd d 28-21, outgained 535-283 and put up just 76 pass yds. True Fr Price made his 1st start (7-17-71) LW and is the #1 passer with just 265 (47%) and a 3-2 ratio. Stachitas (84 yd, 41%, 0-1 ratio) is the top rusher with 5 (6.6) foll d by Price with 3 (4.8). Bowden used to be a money burner with a 6-15 record as a HF but Fisher seems to have brought back the home swagger covering by 17 & pts TY. We cashed two years ago with FSU as our free September 5H as well as 5H Winner in 02. Will we use the Noles for a 10 Winner? FORECAST: FLORIDA ST 51 Wake Forest 23 3H NOTRE DAME (+) over Stanford - This will mark the th consec ssn that these two programs have met. The series has featured a pair of Cardinal comebacks over the past 2 seasons as in South Bend SU trailed 28-7 in the 4Q (lost by 7) and LY on the Farm ND blew an 8 pt 4Q lead as SU scored TD s on their L/2 drives (last one w/:59) snapping a ND 7 gm series win streak (ND has still won 7 str at home vs SU). The Irish fell victim to a fake FG in OT which resulted in the winning TD LW vs MSU. QB Crist did look sharp however passing for 369 yds (58%) and 4 TD s but the defense could not stop the Spartan run game all g 3 yds (4.7). Stanford meanwhile beat WF LW on the Farm as the Cardinal scored TD s on all 8 drives in which QB Luck played (4 TD pass, 1 TD rush) and has now outscored their 1st 3 opp by a 52- avg clip. The Cardinal have gone just 1-5-1 ATS on the road vs non-conf foes S/ 04 giving the extremely upset Irish another tight win in this now highly competitive series. FORECAST: NOTRE DAME (+) 30 Stanford 27 3H USF over Wku - LY USF (WKU s 1st BCS home opp) only led 21-13 after 3Q but scored two 4Q TD s (WKU was SOD at USF13) but still failed to cover as a 24 pt AF. The Hilltoppers are 0-6 SU at BCS schools with an avg score of 42-8. USF had a bye LW and has another SBC team, FlU, on deck. WKU is 0 SU/ATS and trailed 31-7 in the 4Q vs Indiana before falling 38-21 as a 13 pt HD as they were outgained 467-288. USF has the expected offensive (#29-108) and defensive (#65-1) edges. While USF QB Daniels leads the Bulls with 130 rush (5.9, 1 TD) and is avg 174 ypg pass (48%), he has a 3-4 ratio. WKU QB Jakes is avg 1 ypg (58%) with a 2-2 ratio but has just 31 yds rush (1.8). Holtz is 5 ATS as a DD fav incl 1-0 TY. USF has been a 5H Winner twice since 07 and we re not afraid to lay the points with them as they ve won big for us before. FORECAST: USF 48 Wku 10 OTHER SELECTIONS 2H UNLV over New Mexico - LY NM was without HC Locksley for this game (susp) and we used a 3H LPS on LV (-1) on the road and they delivered an easy 34-17 win. LV snapped a game MWC road losing streak in that one. LW, NM s starting QB (Gruner), who was covering punts 2W ago, got his 1st start vs the # tm in the nation, Utah. UT scored 21 pts in 4: to open up a 21-7 gm and rolled 56-. Gruner hit 3-83 before leaving with an inj (CS). Holbrook (CS) is still the leading passer avg 195 (55%) but with a horrible 1-4 ratio. True Fr Austin has thrown for 151 (56%, 1-1). NM has been outscored 01 and has yet to hold an opponent under 50 pts. LW UNLV was down 24-0 at half vs Idaho and couldn t rally, as they were outgained 332-7 in a 30-7 loss. QB Clayton is avg 113 ypg (44%) with a 1-0 ratio and is the top rusher with just 77 (2.9). LV has not scored on the ground TY. The top WR is Payne with 11 rec (.4). The playing field seems more level here, but it s hard to ignore NM being outscored 60-10 in 3 losses, while LV has only been outscored 36-13 in their 3 losses. We ve had a GOY Winner in this series and could UNLV be the play you hear Saturday? FORECAST: UNLV 37 New Mexico 2H INDIANA over Akron - Indy has won and covered both meetings ( 07 and LY) as both W s were by 17. LY UA susp d its QB late in the week and starter Rodgers only had 2 pract with the 1st string. UA only trailed 17- at HT but couldn t overcome 4 2H int resulting in IU pts and lost 38-21 (-2 ) at home. The Hoosiers are 15-2 SU and 11-4-2 ATS S/ 96 vs current MAC schools. IU shook off the rust ( days between gms) and won 38-21 at WK (31-7 lead) as they outgained (466-288) and outfd d (27-) the Hilltoppers. QB Chappell is avg 274 (74%) with a 5-0 ratio and LY s #1 WR Doss had an 87 yd KR and 5 rec (12.4) after missing the opener.

UA is #94 in pass eff D (258, 64%, 7-2 ratio). IU is 2-0 ATS as a DD fav under Lynch and have the fire power to keep it out of the reach of the hapless Zips. FORECAST: INDIANA 45 Akron 17 2H BOSTON COLLEGE (+) over Virginia Tech - LY vs VT, BC didn t get its first FD til the 3Q, trailing 34-0. BC is just 6-12 SU vs VT but has won B2B gms in Chestnut Hill and is on an 8-1 ATS run in reg ssn matchups (5 meetings L/3Y). LW vs EC, VT trailed 24-21 at HT but scored 4 TD in 9:00 to capture its 1st win (and cover) TY, 49-27. QB Taylor is avg 170 ypg (61%) with a 5-1 ratio and leads with 191 rush (5.0). RB Williams (2, 3.0, 3) went out mid-2q LW with a hamstring inj (CS). VT s top rec is Boykin (10,.9, 3 TD) and he has almost 3x s the yds of the #2 man. BC is off an early ssn bye and HC Spaziani said the week would be like spring all over again. QB Shinskie has put up decent stats avg 0 ypg (60%) with a 4-2 ratio, but Spaziani and fans are still waiting for a defining moment. Bkup Marscovetra (42 yd, 50%, 1-1) has seen limited PT but don t be surprised to see both play here. With Spaziani as HC the HT is 9-4 in BC gms (0-2 TY). BC is also 9 as a HD S/ 99. LY we went against Boston College to win our free Sept 5H. Do we reverse that trend here?

CM s defense has been a surprise at #8 NCAA allowing just 251 ypg. The Cats (dogs are -2 ATS in their gms) have their B10 opener at Minny on deck while CM is playing its 3rd straight road game but are feisty dogs (6-2 ATS as AD the L/3Y). PURDUE 27 Toledo 17 - HC Beckman s debut was spoiled LY as UT spotted PU a 21-0 lead and never recovered trailing by DD s the entire 2H. UT is 2 vs PU allowing 50+ pts in each loss. Toledo is 2-9 ATS in trips to BCS schools. LY Purdue lost to MAC member NI 28-21 and incl bowls, is just 4-9 ATS vs MAC incl LW as they outgained Ball St 403-256 but only won 24-13 failing to cover as a pt HF but they do have a bye on deck. PU did play without their #1 WR Smith (OFY), #1 and #2 RB s and QB Marve was sideline in the 2H but is exp to return here. Toledo is on their 3rd straight road game but won a pair of MAC games both as an AD. However LW vs WM they were outfd d 24-11 and outgained 4-268 but took advantage of 6 WM TO s. Purdue has a slight off edge (#72-89) and a bigger def edge (#63-90) but is 0 ATS TY, while Toledo has pulled B2B upsets. MICHIGAN 48 Bowling Green 17 - Only previous meeting was in 00 as UM won 42-7 at home outgaining the Falcons by 283 yds. LY vs its only BCS opp (Missouri), BG led 13-0 and -13 in the 4Q and they are 5-2 ATS vs BCS conf tms. UM is 2-5 ATS vs the MAC but covered both LY and Rich Rod was 13-9-2 ATS as a DD HF until LW s non-covering (-29) 427 win over UMass as the Blue were outfd d 26- and allowed 439 yds. The Wolves actually led 42-24 mid-4q but did allow the Minutemen to score TD s on their L/3 drives (70, 73, 25 yd). NCAA total offense and rush leader QB Robinson is avg 4 ypg (70%) with a 4-1 ratio and 559 rush yd (7.6). BG forced 5 TO s incl 2 IR TD s in a 44-28 win over Marshall. QB Schilz (shldr) was inj d in the 3Q and DNR and Pankratz (5-8 for 111 with 1-1 ratio vs Herd) may get his 1st start in the Big House. BG is allowing 194 rush ypg (5.3) and hasn t faced an athletic QB of Robinson s caliber yet. IOWA 31 Ball St 10 - In their only meeting ( 05) Iowa cruised to a 56-0 home win with a 297 yd edge. UI is in an Ariz/Penn St sandwich and LY in a PSU/Mich sandwich they jumped out to a 21-0 lead vs Ark St and held on for a 24-21 win (-21 ). The Hawks, however, are off a 34-27 loss at Ariz as we had a 3H on the Cats on these pages. In the game UI trailed 27-7 at halftime thanks to a blk d P which set up a TD, an 84 yd IR TD and a 100 yd KR TD. They rallied to tie it at 27 in the 4Q on a 19 yd IR TD but had the xp blk d and the Cats drove 73/9pl for a TD with 4:02 left. UI is 12-4 ATS vs the MAC. QB Stanzi is #10 NCAA pass eff (237 ypg, 64%, 6-1 ratio) but the run gm came to a halt vs the Cats with just 29 (1.1) as Hampton (knee) left LW s gm. BSU is 7-0 as an AD incl LW s 24-13 covering loss (+ ) at Purdue in which they never trailed ATS despite missing 2 FG s and an xp and all d a 76 yd TD pass which deflected off a Cards defender. True frosh QB Wenning hit 11-21 for 89 yd with a 0-2 ratio in his 1st start vs Boilers. BSU is allowing 8 rush ypg (4.3). This is BSU s 2nd of a 3 gm road trip with their MAC opener (CM) on deck. BSU is a scrappy dog but it must be noted that UI is 7-1 ATS off a SU loss. OHIO ST 52 E Michigan 3-1st meeting. OSU was 2-7 ATS as a + non-conf HF but is 2-0 TY incl LW s 43-7 3H LPS win over Ohio U in which the Bucks scored on their 1st 6 poss and forced 5 OU TO s. QB Pryor is avg 238 (63%) with a 6-2 ratio and 5 rush yd but threw his 1st 2 int TY vs the Cats in the EZ with : left 2Q and at the OU4 early 3Q. OSU s 1st string D has allowed 1 TD and is tied for #1 NCAA in TO s forced (12) but the ST s still need work as OU had a 99 yd KR TD called back due to a penalty and blk d a P. EM is 3-9 ATS vs the B10 (avg loss 35-7). The Eagles only trailed CM 28- in the 3Q but after a Chips TD drive, EM was SOD at the CM5 and CM3 and had 2 fmbl s (1 ret d for a TD and another set up a yd CM TD drive) in a 52- loss. QB Gillett is avg 117 ypg (58%) with a 4 ratio and 172 rush yd. EM is in a MAC sandwich and may want to stay healthy and OSU s 3rd string would probably be a 21 pt fav here and the D may want to corral a shutout TY (3 LY). OSU won two 5H s for us in 08, would we go back to them again for the big play? PENN ST 27 Temple 13 - Penn St is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS the last 4 years vs the Owls winning by a comb 154-9 (TU hasn t scored a TD in the series S/ 03) outgaining TU by 268 ypg incl 2 shutouts. The home team is 11-4 ATS and TU is 5-12 ATS vs BCS opp s. Five members of the TU staff, incl HC Golden (also PSU asst) played under Paterno.

QB Bolden is avg 0 ypg (59%) with just a 3-5 ratio and RB Royster (110, 3.5) still hasn t run for more than 40 yd in a gm TY. PSU is allowing 104 rush ypg (3.4). TU is off its first win over a BCS opp S/ 04, 30- over Conn to go to 3-0 for the 1st time S/ 79. The Owls trailed - into the 4Q when they had got a 25 yd FR TD, a 47 yd PR which set up a 4 yd TD drive and UC missed a 38 yd FG with 3:30 left. RB Pierce (301, 5.4) had 9 vs the Huskies. TU is allowing 1 rush ypg (3.9). PSU does have a huge game at Iowa on deck and Temple is 5-1-1 ATS in road openers. GEORGIA TECH 34 NC State 21 - GT benefited getting to face a susp-depleted NC tm and won 30-24 LW. NC held the ball for 11:11 in the 1Q but GT finished with a 10:00 TOP edge, helped by a 2Q drive that ate up 10:32 (2nd longest drive by GT in L/Y). QB Nesbitt has thrown for just 0 yds (36%) with a 2-1 ratio but is the leading rusher with 267 (4.7, 6 TD). BB Allen is also over 0 (230, 6.2) but has yet to find the EZ. These two last met in 06 so the Wolfpack has not encountered GT s option offense. O Brien is 2-0 SU but 0-2 ATS vs Paul Johnson with his BC squad beating Navy by an avg of 36-23 (avg line BC -). NCSt opened with two 93 yd TD drives and was up -7 at half then turned it over to the D to handle Cincy Thurs night, 30-19 (Cincy 2 TD s in L/7:00). QB Wilson avg 248 ypg (56%) with an outstanding 8-0 ratio. He has 4 rec s over 100 yds led by Williams (8,.4) and Spencer (8, 17.8) but neither have a TD rec TY. RB s Greene (174, 4.4) and Haynes (138, 4.9) pace the run gm. GT is 7-0 SU (5-2 ATS) the L/2Y vs ACC Atl Div opps while NCSt is 23-10 ATS as an AD. We ve shied away from GT and NCSt on 5H Saturdays, but does that trend change here? DUKE 37 Army 34 - LY Duke QB Renfree, in his coll debut, came off the bench to throw 2 TD and CB Wright ret d 2 int for TD (in :) to rally from a 10-7 1H deficit and win 35-19 in a misleading final (Army 385-236 yd edge). Duke is 7-1 SU in the series (2-0 SU and ATS since 97). Duke is off its home gm vs Bama (largest crowd S/ 91) where they were rolled 62-13 (24 yd). One bright spot for Duke was its 68/13pl TD drive before HT, the 1st TD Bama all d TY. Renfree is avg 284 ypg (63%) with a 7-4 ratio. The leading rusher is Scott with 238 (6.8) and Vernon (19,.5) and Varner (21, 11.2) top the rec s. Duke s run D has been porous (3 ypg incl 315 vs Bama) which could cause a prob when Army (284 ypg, T-#7 NCAA) rolls in. QB Steelman has thrown for 8 yd TY (52%) and is the #4 rusher. The top rusher, Mealy (8, 6.0) did leave in the 2Q LW (knee, CS) but Army still posted its 1st shutout at Michie Stad since 93, 24-0, over North Texas. We went against Duke in 94 as the Bowl GOY, will the Devils play a role in this week s release? 3 marquee GAME OF THE MONTH IS THURSDAY!!!!!

They last met in the 08 International Bowl as UB (+7) lost 38- being outgained 407-237. UB did lead -17 at HT due to 5 lost UC fumbles in the 1H. UB was -7 as an AD under Gill, but lost their only road outing under new HC Quinn, 34-6 (+ ) to Baylor.

Georgia 17 MISSISSIPPI ST - UGA is -5 all-time in this series and has won 9 in a row with MSU s last win in 1974. In the last meeting in 06, UGA (-17) had FL on deck and barely escaped with a 27-24 win in Athens. UGA is off a last second 31-24 loss to Ark and has started out 0-2 in the SEC for the first time under Richt. MSU is also 0-2 in SEC play off a 29-7 loss to LSU in which 5 TO s sealed it despite outgaining LSU 268-264. MSU QB s Relf (87 pass, 56%, 1) and Russell (1 ypg, 63%, 4-4) split snaps but Relf was inj d vs LSU (CS). MSU is 6-2 ATS as a HD with 3 outright upsets incl # Ole Miss and almost upset #7 LSU (374-263 yd edge). This is UGA s 3rd road game in 4 weeks and their final gm w/o susp WR Green. Richt is 33-7 SU on the road but has lost 3 in the L/2Y and UGA is 1-6-1 ATS as an SEC AF. MISSISSIPPI 24 Fresno St 21 - First meeting. This is Fresno s first trip to the Magnolia State and the Bulldogs are 0 SU and 2-1 ATS vs SEC foes. But these are the exact kind of gms FSU HC Hill and his Bulldogs live for and thrive in. FSU has wins vs BCS tms since the start of 00 and after losing the 1st 9 gms to BCS foes under Hill, FSU has since gone -15 (has won 6 of L/8) and only 6 of those gms were played in Fresno. The Bulldogs are 7-1 ATS on the road vs BCS tms and are on a 7-1 ATS in overall AG s. QB Colburn is avg 198 ypg (70%) with a 5-2 ratio and RB Ellis has 171 yds (5.7) and ran for 5 yd and scored 3 TD LW. UM is 10-2 SU and 8-4 ATS vs non-conf FBS tms under Nutt including a 6-1 SU and 4 ATS mark at home. But the Rebels are on a 1-5 ATS skid and have lost both HG s TY outright as a DD fav.

Oreg transfer Masoli has taken over at QB and is avg 193 ypg (62%) with a 1-4 ratio with 0 (4.8) rush yds. The Rebels find themselves in an SEC sandwich (UK on deck) and are desperate not to be upset at home by another non-conf foe. MISSOURI 39 Miami, Oh 13 - First meeting. Missouri has a bye on deck and should be fully focused especially after LY when they were -19 vs MAC member BG and trailed -6 in the 3Q having to rally for a 7 pt win. Miami is a much stronger team than LY s 1-11 version and is already 2-1 SU/ATS including a cover vs Florida and a 31-10 win over CSU LW, despite being outgained 306-299. Missouri is also a much stronger team after having just 9 st rs back LY and having TY but LW needed a TD with 1:10 left to get by San Diego St as a pt HF. Miami QB Dysert is avg 195 ypg (65%) but despite a 3-0 ratio LW has just a 4-5 ratio overall. Missouri QB Gabbert is avg 284 ypg (68%) with a 4-2 ratio. Missouri has the offensive (#31-98) and defensive edges (#32-76) and won t overlook this MAC foe. Air Force 31 WYOMING 17 - The visitor is 9 ATS and LY WY (+10 ) held AF to just 79 1H yds. AF bkup QB Dietz came in at HT and led AF to the 10-0 win. It was AF s 1st shutout over a conf opp S/ 97. WY has now lost 4 str SU (1 ATS) vs AF. LW Okla opened up with a TD on its 1st drive but AF held them to 3&out on 3 of the next 4. AF tied it early 2H but OU scored 17 unanswered pts which proved the difference in AF s 4Q comeback bid. AF put up 351 yds rush (most all d by a Stoops OU tm in his 12 yrs) but came up short, 27-24 (AF 25-24 FD, 45867 yd edges). QB Jefferson has thrown for 354 (51%) with a 3-1 ratio while Clark (272, 6.6) and Tew (234, 4.6) lead the rushers. LW WY took on a Boise tm looking to make a statement after losing pts in the polls, and a statement they made, scoring 37 pts out of the gate. WY was held to -21 yd rush (135 ttl yd) in a 51-6 loss. Carta-Samuels is avg 210 ypg (70%) with 4 ratio. The top rec is Bolger (12,.9) and the #1 rusher is Alexander (just 79, 2.4). WY allows 210 ypg rush and AF leads the NCAA avg 399 ypg. We have a strong pulse on this series which was our 97 College GOY and 93 Sept 5H, both winners! KANSAS ST 23 Ucf - 1st meeting. UCF is 0 SU being outscored by ppg and is 1- SU (7- ATS) in BCS AG s (3-0 ATS vs B12). K-St used to maul non-conf opp but is just 2-6 ATS incl a SU loss to ULL LY. K-St scored 10 pts in the final 7:00 to beat ISU 27- in Arrowhead to go 3-0 for the 1st time S/ 06. The Cats overcame a 69 yd IR TD thanks to Thomas 1 yd and stopped the Cyclones on downs at the KSU36 with :19 left. Thomas is #2 NCAA rushing (552, 6.7). K-St is all g 177 rush ypg (4.5). Thanks to a 2Q IR TD, UCF was tied - going into the 4Q at Buffalo before driving for 2 TD s and SOD the Bulls at their own 38. QB Godfrey hit 15-24 for 130 yd in his 1st start as UCF was outgained 326-288 and outfd d 21-. The Knights are all g 129 rush ypg (3.4). UCF surprisingly has big D (#28-55) and ST (#6-58) edges. Both teams have a bye next week so they should be full go in what could be a defensive battle. HOUSTON 45 Tulane 17 - Tulane is on an 0-7 SU/ATS run vs Houston, losing the L/6 by an avg of 26 ppg but comes into this meeting fresh after an early season bye. The Cougars lost more than a game LW in LA as not only did QB Keenum (OFY) go down for the 2nd straight gm (trailing 21), but bkup Turner (broken collarbone also OFY) leaving the start here to 3rd stringer true frosh Broadway (84 yds, 63%, 1-0 ratio). LY, the Wave was only outgained 41264, but had 3 TO s and all d a PR TD. Tulane is 6-2 ATS the L/8Y in road openers (3 str covers) but has gone just 4-12 ATS as a CUSA AD. The Cougars on the other hand are an impressive 7-1 as a HF under HC Sumlin including covering easily as 23 and 30 pt favorites LY vs Memphis and Rice by a combined 128-28 margin. Houston has a bye on deck and despite the losses at the QB position, they still have much more talent than the visiting Green Wave. Oklahoma 41 CINCINNATI 17 - Paul Brown Stadium (Bengals). Oklahoma is 8 SU and 7-1 ATS in road openers. In their only meeting in 08 OU led the whole way and gave us a 4H LPS Winner (52-26, - ) outgaining UC by 266 yds. Both tms won their respective confs in 08 showing the huge talent gap between the B12 and BE. Cincy did have a couple of extra days of prep and has a bye next week. Sooners are 6-12 ATS prior to rival Texas. OU is 6 as an AF but Cincy is 5-0 ATS as a HD with 4 outright upsets. With 5 sks allowed in their loss to NCSt, UC QB Collaros (2 ypg, 61%, 6-0) has now been sk d 13x in 2 gms vs FBS tms, just 2 fewer than he and 09 starter Pike were sk d the entire 09 ssn. Sooners #10 D has 8 sks in 3 gms. UC ranks #110 in pass D allowing 247 ypg with an 8-1 ratio and OU QB Jones is avg 284 ypg (62%) with a 7-2 ratio. Two UC starters TE Guidugli and SS Frey were inj d vs NCSt (CS). After LW s close win over Air Force, OU will be on alert and will dominate the line of scrimmage. BOISE ST 38 Oregon St 17 - OSU leads the series 4-2 SU but is 0-1 ATS. These two played each year from 03-06 and the HT won all 4 SU (2-1-1 ATS). In the last meeting (here in 06), OSU led -0 mid-1q before Boise scored 42 unanswered in a 42- victory w/a 407-263 yd edge. The Beavers are 1-2 SU (0-2 ATS) in Boise winning 370 (NL) in 89 but results have been similar in recent meetings as they were +8 and +7 and lost 534 ( 04) and 42- ( 06), respectively. OSU is 1-6 SU and 0-7 ATS in AG s the first 4 wks of the yr. RB Rodgers has 7 yds (4.9) and ran for 132 yds and 2 TD LW while QB Katz is avg 151 ypg (47%) with a 4-0 ratio. BSU has the edge on off (#5-50), def (#9-52) and ST (#5-). QB Moore is avg 293 ypg (63%) with a 5-1 ratio and threw for 370 yds and 2 TD as Boise piled up 648 yds of off LW while holding WY to -21 yds rush and 135 ttl yd. The Broncos are 4-11 all-time vs the P10 with all 4 wins coming vs tms from the Beaver State. Boise is 71-2 SU S/ 99 at home and has won 56 consec reg ssn gms in Bronco Stadium and is on a current gm win streak! BSU is also 38-17 ATS on The Blue and they still get up for big gms as they ve covered their L/5 big gms (bowls plus 3 vs BCS tms) by 11.3 ppg. Boise will be concerned about MOV as TCU beat OSU 30-21 (-13) in Wk 1. ESPN s College Gameday will be on hand as this is probably the Broncos biggest remaining challenge (along with a late ssn trip to Nevada) to go undefeated. ARIZONA 31 California 26 - While the Bears have gone 6-1-1 ATS in their opening P10 AG, their last 2 trips to Tucson haven t ended well as they were upset 24- as a 13 pt fav in 06 (Cal ranked #8) and blew a 24- HT lead (-2 ) in their last visit back in 08. The Bears are however -6 ATS vs the Wildcats with just those 2 meetings being the only failed covers in a 7 game span. After outscoring UC Davis and Colo by a 104-10 margin, the Cal defense was violated by the Nevada offense LW in Reno allowing 3 rush yds (6.4) in the 521 defeat. Arizona delivered HC Stoops his most high profile home win LW aided by 4 COLLEGE SEPT 5H GOM GOES THIS SATURDAY FREE TO EVERY 10 POWER SWEEP SUBSCRIBER GAMES OF THE MONTH 21-8 72% S/ 07!!! some big ST and def plays early that all d them to hold on late vs Iowa. LY, a week after RB Best suffered a concussion, bkup RB Vereen rushed for 159 yds (5.3) in Cal s 24- victory over Ariz, a game in which AZ was in range for the game winning FG but QB Foles caught a deflected pass and threw it again for a penalty that made them go for it on 4&17. In the first 4 years of Stoops tenure in Tucson the Cats went just 1-7 ATS as a HF, but they ve gone 8-2 ATS over the L/3Y. With the home team winning and covering the L/5 but it would be no surprise to see the streak end. TEXAS 27 Ucla 6 - First meeting S/ 98 (series tied 2-2) which was Brown s 1st year as HC and #6 UCLA won 491 (-9) at home vs #23 Texas. The Longhorns earned back some momentum LW in Lubbock getting even from falling in their last trip there but the Texas offense hasn t been its same productive self avg just 359 ypg over the first 3 wks (Rice, Wyom, TT) after a 4 ypg avg LY. The Bruins on the other hand rolled to an impressive 31-13 (+3 ) upset of #23 ranked Houston as their run game came alive with 265 yds (5.2) which was their most S/ 07. While UCLA is 3-7 as an AD under Neuheisel and 0-2 in that role vs ranked tms, the Bruins had gone 7-0 ATS vs Top 10 teams from 06-07 while Neuheisel went 12-4 ATS comb vs the Top 10 as the HC of Colo and Wash. The Horns are 2-5 ATS prior to the Red River Rivalry and LY at home they were 3 vs Colo but trailed late 1H in the 24 pt victory. COLORADO ST 23 Idaho - The series is tied 3 and UI has won the L/2 (2-0 ATS) but CSU is 2-1 SU in gms in Fort Collins. LY the Vandals (+4) trailed -0 after 1Q and -7 late in 2Q but completed the 2H comeback and sealed the win with an int w/1:04 left. CSU trailed 31-23 (early 4Q) and went on an 89/5pl drive to score w/1:41 left but was stopped on the 2 pt run in a 31-29 loss. It was the turning point to both teams seasons and could be once again TY. In fact, that loss for CSU began what is now an ongoing 12 gm losing streak as they have been outscored 106-19 in the 1st 3 gms TY. UI has the edge on off (#78-1) and is led by QB Enderle who is avg 8 ypg (59%) with a 4-7 ratio. His favorite target has been TE Hardy who has 12 rec (19.9).The Vandals recorded 6 sks LW vs UNLV but have all d 13 sks themselves TY (2nd most in the NCAA) behind a new OL. This is the Rams home opener where they are -4 SU but 5-10 ATS in the lined gms. QB Thomas is avg 232 ypg (67%) with a 1-6 ratio and RB Carter leads the running gm with only 39 yds (1.6) as the Rams are #119 in rushing avg just 43 ypg (1.7). CSU is 6-1 as a HD while UI has only been an AF once (covered in 06) in the L/7Y. BYU 34 Nevada 33 - BYU leads the series 4-1-2 SU (1-1 ATS in lined gms). In the two recent meetings UN fell 52-7 (+25 ) in Provo ( 01) before winning 31-28 (+) in Reno ( 02). BYU is 23-2 SU (13-11 ATS) at home S/ 06 with the only losses coming vs Fla St and TCU while UN has lost consec road openers (5-8 ATS) with the last win coming back in 95 (only 1-5 ATS S/ 94). However, the Wolf Pack s 3-0 start is its best in its FBS history (S/ 92) and UN is coming off a huge win following a 521 victory over #24 Cal where QB Kaepernick ran for 8 yds and 3 TD while also passing for 1 yds and 2 more scores. In 3 gms TY, he has thrown for 6 TD and rushed for 7 while avg 243 ypg pass (71%) with a 6-0 ratio to go along with 369 yds rush (9.5). UN has the edge on off (#4-82) as the Pack is avg 560 ypg (#4 in NCAA with 302 ypg rush). BYU is facing a team that runs the ball well for the 2nd time in 3 wks having already faced option-based AF. BYU was held to just 191 yds LW at FSU (just 39 in the 2H) and the Cougars were sacked 8x s and have been outscored 69-24 the L/2 gms. Fr QB Heaps is avg 87 ypg (50%) with a 1-1 ratio and replaced Nelson (68 ypg, 50%, 1-2 ratio) early LW as the Cougars continue to look for an answer at the position. Both tms have non-conf instate rivalry gms on deck (BYU at USU on Fri, UN at UNLV). Will BYU s home cooking prevail or will UN s opening road game hiccups stop? Usc 48 WASH ST 17 - USC has won 7 str in this series by 33 ppg incl its last visit to Pullman, a game in which USC did not allow the Cougars to get past their own 45 yard line in the 69-0 shutout. While WSU showed some life in its loss to SMU (outgained 450), they still appear to be at least a year away from being competitive in the P10. The Trojans are a shell of their past self not putting together a complete performance yet TY after being very suspect on the defensive side in the opener vs HI (588 yds all d) and equally as shaky with the offense the past 2 wks vs VA and Minny. WSU has gone 2-6 ATS vs ranked P10 teams while USC is 0-4 ATS in their first P10 RG incl getting upsets each of the L/2Y (both after Top 10 meetings vs Ohio St). The Trojans are in their 3rd AG in a 4 wk span and despite USC s struggles in the NW (1-8 ATS in WA and OR) there s still a huge talent gap in the 2 programs. KANSAS 38 New Mexico St 10 - The series is tied 1-1 as the Aggies defeated the Jayhawks 42-29 in 88 before falling 54- (+24 ) in 91. KU is 17-9 as a HF while NMSt is 7-5-1 as an AD. The Aggies are 0-19 SU and 7-12 ATS vs BCS schools (S/ 00) with the avg loss 43-11. NMSt is finally showing signs of life again in the passing game led by QB Christian is avg 212 ypg (51%) with a 2-1 ratio and WR Allen has 9 rec (19.9) and is showing signs of being the type of WR he was recruited to be after playing in a three yds and a cloud of dust off LY. KU has the edge on def (#68-1) and off (#94-1) edges here. QB Webb is avg 125 ypg (61%) with a 4-1 ratio while RB Sims has 175 yds (4.7) and WR Patterson has rec (10.4). Gill s debut as the Jayhawks HC started off with a thud as KU lost to FCS North Dakota St 6 (29 pt fav) only to turn around the following week to knock off #15 GT 28-25 (+13 ). But KU suffered another setback LW with a loss to S Miss (+5 ). Gill is only 2-8 ATS as HF in the L/3Y and has only been a DD fav twice as a HC before (0-2). The Aggies may have a chance here as the Jayhawks have already fallen to FCS and non-bcs foes but look for KU to hand NMSt its th consec loss to a BCS team in this one. FLORIDA 34 Kentucky 17 - UF has won 23 in a row in this series. UF (-21) led 31-0 after 1Q LY with a 3-(-1) yd edge and went on to a 41-7 win. LY with UF leading 31-7 in the 3Q, Tebow was sk d by UK DE Wyndham and knocked unconscious with a concussion. UF is just 2-5 ATS as a DD fav vs UK. UF is off a closer than expected win over rival Tenn (31-17, -13 just 317-288 yd edge) and does have a huge game at Bama next week. UF QB Brantley hasn t had a 0 yd gm yet (151 ypg, 62%, 5-0) and has struggled with the snap exchange from C Pouncey in the 1st 3 gms. UK QB Hartline has made great strides over LY (7 ypg, 72%, 5-0) but now UK takes a big leap up in competition off blowouts of Akron and WKY. UK is 6-2 as an AD but in their last trip here they lost 63-5 (+25). Both teams will try to run and UF has the edge on the DL allowing 92 rush ypg (3.3) while UK has allowed 8 (4.4). Southern Miss 27 LOUISIANA TECH 24 - SM is 29-13 all-time vs LT (5-1 SU S/ 83). These two haven t met since a -13 USM win (+2) in Hattiesburg in 92. SM has the edge on off (#61-86) and def (#47-94). SM is fresh off its 31- (-5 ) win over Kansas LW and QB Davis is avg 190 ypg (72%) with a 1-2 ratio. RB Johnson has 154 yds (6.2) and will look for running room by a LT def which gave up 239 yds rush in the 2H to Navy LW. Tech needs to settle on a QB with conf play on the horizon as Cameron is avg 154 ypg (63%) with a 1-4 ratio. JC Ikharo has stepped up as the top target thus far with rec (10.7) while RB Creer has 190 yds (5.1) to keep the run game going despite a switch to the spread TY. The Bulldogs are 11-5 SU (11 ATS) at home while SM is 1-6 SU (3-4 ATS) in AG s. LT has its WAC opener at Hawaii up next while SM has its CUSA opener vs Marshall on deck.

4 Excellent 3 Very Good 2 Good PRO SELECTIONS HOME TEAM IN CAPS KEY SELECTIONS 4H Washington over ST LOUIS - This is the 5th meeting in 6 years with the Rams covering 3 straight with 2 outright upsets. LY The Redskins beat STL 9-7 but failed to cover as a 9.5 pt HF in the 2nd week. WAS had 4 drives of 60+ yds but settled for 3 FG s with a 362-245 yd edge. LW WAS blew a -7 1H lead and found themselves in a shoot out where including OT they were outgained 328-172 the rest of the way. WAS first 2 drives got the HOU 23 but they settled for FG s and in the 4Q they had a 29 yd FG blocked. This will be the 3rd straight team STL faces that is starting a new QB and offensive scheme vs 09. This has enabled STL to keep it respectable as ARZ took a step down with Anderson who had little support from the run game. LW OAK changed its starting Ctr after 1 game and was also without LG Gallery. While STL gave up 173 yds (4.3) rushing they were able to rattle Campbell and force him out of the game. Now they face a team that has definitively upgraded at QB with McNabb (426 yds 74% 1-0 LW). STL will also face their former DC Jim Haslett who was passed over of the HC job after going 2-10 as an interim HC in 08. Look for a sharp effort out of WAS s defense vs a young QB on a team with a poor home edge (9-21 ATS at home). The fact that AF s off a home OT loss are 11-0-1 ATS since 03 is a bonus here. FORECAST: Washington 27 ST LOUIS 10 3H Pittsburgh over TAMPA BAY - Clearly the key to the 10 Steelers until Roethlisberger gets back is their defense which has been outstanding in the first 2 games. PIT overcame a 238-127 yd deficit thanks to a 89 yd KR to open the game and forced 7 TO s for 12 pts. PIT s run defense has been relentless holding ATL s Turner to 42 yds (2.2) and snapped Johnson s 12 game streak of 100 yds with 34 yds (2.1). TB is a surprising 2-0 to start the season despite an NFL low 80.8 million roster. TB QB Freeman looked good again LW with 178 yds and 2 TD s but that was vs a defense with 6 new starters. He has 6 games of 52% or less completion in 12 starts and now faces one of the elite defenses in the NFL. The Bucs do have a top tier special teams unit which has been known to give PIT problems in the past. Look for PIT to resign Leftwich quickly as not only does he have a chance to start here, his experience with TB LY mentoring Freeman will help the Steelers as they secure their 3rd win of the year. FORECAST: Pittsburgh 17 TAMPA BAY 6 OTHER SELECTIONS 2H Cincinnati over CAROLINA - After getting thumped by NE in the opener and facing a tough fight vs BAL, CIN is in a down spot here with their 3rd road game in 4 Wks with CLE on deck. CIN is only 1-7 ATS as an AF while CAR is 4-1 ATS as a HD. After a confidence boosting 2H vs NE the Bengals got into the win column with by pressuring Flacco into 4 int s. CIN turned those into 6 pts in a defensive struggle which turned out to be the difference maker. They now take on a defense with 6 new starters that is trying to get its bearings. CAR s issues have been compounded by poor play at QB (3 yds 42% with a 2-5 ratio). Clausen maybe named the starter sooner than later. Fox is trying to use RB s Williams and Stewart who have 171 rush yds together (3.7) to keep the games close and steal a win. CIN however has the RB in Benson to match CAR s power run game, a vastly more sound QB position with a deep receiving unit that will only get better as the season rolls on. FORECAST: Cincinnati 27 CAROLINA 13 2H JACKSONVILLE over Philadelphia - The Eagles had an ideal foe for Vick to make his 1st career start vs a soft defense in a controlled environment on a fast surface. Vick threw for 284 yds (62%) with a 2-0 ratio. The Eagles may have lost their best OL with LT Peters (knee) in addition to Ctr Jackson LW and the protection struggled allowing 6 sacks. JAX s inability to draw fans has crippled their homefield advantage and while they were 4-13 ATS the L/2Y they did take care of business at home in the opener. They also have the added edges of catching PHI in a 2nd straight road game and have a full game of tape on Vick. LW JAX had the misfortune off catching SD off a MNF div loss and it translated into a 38-13 beating. QB Garrard imploded with 4 int s after having none in the opener and McCown (1, 58%) got some reps. JAX got taken out of their offense LW as Jones-Drew had 31 yds (2.6). Now they face a PHI defense that has allowed 124 rush ypg (4.2) the rush attack will again flourish and take some heat off the QB position. FORECAST: JACKSONVILLE (+) 24 Philadelphia OTHER GAMES NY GIANTS 23 Tennessee - The Giants are off LW s SNF game vs IND and after facing a pass 1st foe now have to contend with a team happy to pound it out on the ground. TEN was caught in a role reversal LW as after scoring 17 pts off 2 TO s and a missed FG vs OAK they gave up a 89 yd KR for a TD and turned the ball over 7 times for 12 pts for PIT. Johnson had his streak of 12 straight 100 yd games snapped by being held to 34 yds (2.1) which was what he had the last time he failed to reach 100 yds. Young has never been a big stat QB but being held to 66 yds (70%) with 2 int s at home and then being benched for his own protection instead of finishing out the game is a concern. Now TEN has to take on a Giants team that held a young but similarly built CAR offense to 6 FD s, 75 yds while pulling in 2 int s and 4 sacks in the 2H. It s one thing for TEN to dominate at home vs an OAK team in a poor situation with a new OC and heavily reshaped defense. LW was an indicator that stout and aggressive defenses that can shut down Johnson and make Young beat them thru the air have a good chance. At home and with a deep DL and quality receiving corps we ll call for the Giants by 7. NEW ENGLAND 30 Buffalo 3 - BUF is 0-13 SU and 3-9-1 ATS vs NE. BUF had a legit chance to win LY s season opener vs NE but a special teams blunder late cost them the game. NE was worn out after a tough game vs CAR before the rematch and were playing with a banged up defense. NE had a 17 lead going into the 4Q before trading space for time. BUF self-destructed in the game with 11 penalties and their beleaguered OL gave up 6 sacks. LW BUF was able to keep it close vs GB in the 1H (13-7) but their lack of playmakers and injuries at LB had them outfd 11-6 and outgained 5-93 in the 2H giving up 21 unanswered pts. BUF s OL simply can t protect Edwards (1 sack every 7.4 pass att s) and are only the 3rd team since 1999 to start a season with 0 yds or less offense in the 1st 2 games. NE has started off the year vs 2 quality foes with the defense playing younger and faster than LY. They are -5 ATS off a SU loss. BUF simply doesn t have the talent on the roster as shown in the huge line. BALTIMORE 23 Cleveland 6 - BAL is 4-0 SU and ATS vs CLE with a 369-250 yd edge and 25- avg score. After facing the Jets on MNF and CIN LW with PIT on deck this would appear to be a flat spot but this is also the Ravens home opener. CLE switched QB s halfway thru the 1st game in WK3 LY being beaten 34 and were shutout -0 in the 2nd on MNF. LW BAL was in a tough situation on a short week on the road vs a division rival that isn t intimidated by their defense. Flacco had a poor game with 4 int s which were turned into 6 pts in a game with even yardage. CLE finds itself 0-2 after the easy part of their schedule with 7 straight games vs foes with a winning record from 09 on deck. The Browns were forced to go with career backup Wallace LW. While he had a decent day (9 yds 52% 1-1) CLE got no help out of the run game being outrushed 0 (3.6) to 73 (2.8) at home. The loss of RB Hardesty (ACL) in pre-4 for CLE will hinder them all year as Harrison (85 yds 3.4) has shown he was a 1 hit wonder LY and the pinned their 10 hopes on being a running team. BAL is too balanced on offense and too angry on defense here for a road team who likely won t announce their starter until gametime. Atlanta at NEW ORLEANS - The Falcons covered both meetings LW as DD dogs losing by 8 and 3 pts. NO was worn out in the 2nd meeting LY after facing NE on MNF and getting a tougher than expected OT game from WAS. ATL was without Ryan (turf toe) and RB Turner (knee) in the rematch. They rallied from 23-9 midq earning 7 of their 392 yds getting int d on the ATL 32 and SOD at the NO 46 on their final 2 drives. ATL is off a dominating win as our 4H NFL GOM LW. Ryan (5 yds 66% 3-0) was very efficient which opened up the run lanes for RB Snelling who got the bulk of the work with RB Turner (groin) out for most of the game. ATL put enough pressure on Anderson to rattle him and he responded with 1 yds (55%) and 2 int s which were turned into pts before forcing 5 him out of the game. While the road team used to dominate this series we ll have to pass on this game for now as we get a closer look at NO s offense on MNF. San Francisco KANSAS CITY 17 - Situationally this is a flat spot for SF on the road after a MNF game with ATL on deck. However, home NFL Late Phones 12 out of 19 63% WINNING SUNDAYS 09-10 NFL Reg Season teams with a bye on deck vs a foe off a MNF game are 7-15 ATS. SF could very well be 0-2 and getting some good value here as we ve seen some publications anoint the Chiefs as TY s worst to 1st team prior to the CLE game. KC improved to 3-19 SU and 6- ATS at home with their big win vs SD on MNF. They are a surprising 2-0 in spite of Cassel who had his 7th game with under 0 yds passing and 7th game with 2 or more int s. The key has been the run game which has 138 yds (4.2) and their special teams as they have only converted 6 of 26 3rd Dns (23%). SF is likely to have 2 rookie OL and a backup Ctr here and if Arrowhead gets loud their pass attack could bog down. However SF is also much farther along with their 3-4 scheme than KC who may not have DE Jackson here. KC was outgained by 192 yds vs SD and simply took advantage of CLE s inability to get anything going LW. We ll call for the road team by 3 and wait for the line. MINNESOTA 27 Detroit 7 - DET is 1-9 SU and 2-7-1 ATS vs MIN losing by a 25-15 avg score. As expected MIN s pass attack has struggled without WR Rice (even if acquired Vincent Jackson will have to miss) and Favre hasn t gotten a good feel for his WR s. Instead of working with his receivers after the NO loss, Favre went home for 3 days and struggled to find his rhythm vs MIN. While he had 5 yds (61%) he posted 3 int s (1 was a fluke) and converted 1 of 6 3rd Dns in the 2H. Now MIN gets the ideal pass defense to get healthy on. DET has allowed 254 ypg (69%) with a 961 ratio over the L50 games. They only have 1 DET drafted player (FS Delmas) in the back 7 that started both games TY. LW s score wasn t as close as it looked as PHI took a 35-17 lead with 6:17 left and were outgained 4-289 before going prevent. Favre avg d 250 ypg (77%) with 3 TD s in 2 games vs DET LY and with the Lions pass def being just as bad we ll call for MIN to get right here. Dallas 31 HOUSTON 30 - The NFL scheduled these teams for the 3rd preseason game but DAL was uninterested and worn out after an exhausting travel schedule. The home team has covered both regular season meetings. DAL will be getting slammed by the local media with their 1st 0-2 start since 01. DAL is nowhere near as bad as their 0-2 record states as in both games so far they were at least +7 FD s, +102 yds while holding WAS and CHI to 4 of 24 on 3rd Dns (17% when 33% is avg). The problem has been poor play calling. On 6 drives into the opposing 26 they have 2 TD s, 2 missed FG s, 1 FG and had the game winning TD vs WAS negated by penalty. LW was the 1st time their starting OL was together as a unit since the start of TC but the run game has been woefully ineffective with Barber and Jones combining for 115 rushing yds (3.4). HOU is off 2 huge games after beating IND and while they put up 526 vs a good WAS defense they went 11:30 into OT for the win. DAL will be bombarded with the stat that only 11.3% of 0-2 teams have made the playoffs since 02 and look for a crisp effort from a more desperate team here. Indianapolis 24 DENVER 17- IND is off LW s Manning Bowl on SNF and those results as well as their ability to pass protect and stop the run are unknown. Manning has been very successful vs DEN with a 7-2 SU and ATS record. LY IND beat the Broncos 28- as a 6.5 pt HF with a 80/13pl drive that took up 7:19 in the 4Q. DEN was able to pull in 3 int s on Manning and had a 35712 yd edge though most that came when IND let Marshall collect 21 rec s (9.5) to keep the ball in front of them and eat up the clock. DEN beat SEA LW 31- as they were +4 in TO s but have yet to get the ground game going avg 77 ypg and 2.2 ypc. While LW s results are unknown for the Colts, HOU was able to run on them in Week 1 (257, 6.1) but DEN will be hard pressed to have the same success. IND was 6-0 as an AF LY and the opening road loss insures they stay focused especially if they dropped their Sun Night game to start 0-2. San Diego 28 SEATTLE 27 - On the scoreboard SEA s Wk 1 win looks impressive but they only had 242 yds of offense. LW without the home crowd and contagious enthusiasm the Seahawks fell behind 17-0 and never recovered. SD s Wk 1 was the polar opposite as while they lost at KC they finished with a 389-197 yd edge. SD recovered to beat JAX 38-13 finishing with a 47750 yd edge. Now each team is 1-1 and for the return to the Great Northwest. The Seahawks under HC Carroll are going to ride waves of emotion and they may be a team this season that plays well when leading early but fade quickly when behind. Qwest Field is one of the NFL s loudest and we have no trouble backing a SEA team that allowed ppg at home and had 2 home shutouts LY with the same defensive scheme. Remember this is the same SD squad that is without LY s top RB, WR and OL. The Chargers are 2-6 ATS as an AF an haven t been able to establish a strong pass rush with only 3 sacks. That bodes well for Hasselback who has won and covered his L5 games at home when he has an even or positive ratio. ARIZONA Oakland 17 - After barely getting the team by STL in the opener, QB Anderson reverted to his 09 form vs ATL. ARZ was out FD d 33-11 and only gained 75 2H yards despite trailing 24-7 at HT. Anderson threw for only 1 yds (55%) and his 2 int s which were converted into 10 pts by ATL in our Sept NFL GOM Winner. ARZ was counting on RB Wells (knee bruise) to provide some balance to the offense but he has been unable to get on the field. After facing an elite QB with Ryan LW the Cardinals now face OAK which replaced Campbell (2, 53%, 0-1) with Gradkowski (2, 50%, 1-1). OAK offensive success is courtesy of McFadden (5, 4.8) who finally gives the Raiders a feature back who can carry the load (30 carries LW). While OAK failed to cover LW they did outgain STL 404-210 and were 7-17 on 3rdD while holding STL to 2-10. Situational edge to ARZ in their home opener and a technical edge as well as they are 5-1 ATS off a loss and didn t lose B2B games LY.

The Vols just played Oregon and Florida (tied 10-10 midq) and have B2B road trips to LSU and UGA on deck. UAB is the much more veteran tm with ret st rs (UT 9) and Callaway played at Bama and was the OC at UGA for 6 yrs, so this game is important to him and UAB has a bye on deck. UAB has ply d better than their finals indicate and LW vs Troy pulled out a 1 pt win with a 44 yd TD rec on the last play of the gm (+4). UAB bkup QB Ellis (360 yds, 3-2) took over for starter Isabelle (2-8, yd) in the 2Q. UAB is just 1-6 ATS as an AD.

This is SC s 1st road game and SC is 5-1 ATS in their SEC road opener. Aub is 7-2-1 ATS in their SEC home opener. Both tms have jumped out to 3-0 starts, but Aub is off a tough come-from-behind OT win over Clemson while SC was able to rest some off an easy win over Furman.

Aub QB Newton is avg 175 ypg (57%) with a 7 ratio and is the leading rusher with 309 (6.2). We won a 5H on SC in 1984 over Duke, will we go with the Gamecocks for our Sept 5H? UTAH 41 San Jose St 6 - Utah leads the series 5-1 SU (1-1 ATS). LY this game was tied at 7 until the 4Q and SJSt covered as a 13 pt HD in a 24- Utah victory despite being outgained 499-264 for the game (251- on the ground). The Spartans last trip to Salt Lake City resulted in a 24-6 loss back in 74. SJSt avoided becoming another FBS team to lose to an FCS opponent as RB Muldrow s 6 yd TD run w/1:10 left gave the Spartans a -11 victory over S Utah. QB La Secla is avg 9 ypg (68%) with a 2-2 ratio and threw for 193 yds as SJSt survived a mistake-filled, penalty-plagued contest as MacIntyre notched his 1st win as a HC. Utah has the edge on off (#37-117), def (#39-98) and ST (#66-1). QB Cain has filled in for the inj d Wynn (thumb, CS) and the Utes offense hasn t missed a beat as he is avg 7 ypg (77%) and completed of 23 to set a schl record for comp % in a game LW, finishing with a career-high 248 yd and 3 TD. SJSt is 0-6-1 ATS as an AD but Utah is 1-7 ATS the L/5Y as a non-conf HF. Utah has a bye on deck so all of their focus will be here while SJSt is playing its 3rd tough road game in 4 wks and hosts UC Davis for HC next. SAN DIEGO ST 37 Utah St 23 - SDSt leads the series 9-1 SU but these two haven t played S/ 77 and this will be the 1st lined meeting. Since joining the WAC in 05, USU has gone 0-8 in non-conf/non-bcs road gms losing by 21 ppg (all vs MWC). The Aggies are coming off a 41-24 loss (+3 ) to Fresno where BIG DOG PLAY OF THE WEEK Just 15 But pay as little as 9!!! 1-900-438-9467 for 15 On The Private Play Hotline or the Northcoast Debit Card for 9!!!! 135 outright upsets by 7+ Pt DOGS L/17Y WE PICK A TD+ DOG WE THINK WILL WIN OUTRIGHT EVERY WK AS THE BIG DOG POW ON Northcoast Sports' PPH (MORE THAN 1 PLAY POSSIBLE)! 6 do-everything QB Borel (234 ypg, 58%, 4 ratio) was held to just 4 of 13 passing in the 2H as USU gained only 37 yds and 1 FD in the 4Q. The Aztecs are coming off a heartbreaking loss after falling to Mizzou 27-24 (+) LW on a last-minute TD pass. It appeared SDSt may have of had a chance pull it out as QB Lindley (270 ypg, 51%, 3-1 ratio) hit a pass across the 50 with less than :30 left, but the Aztecs were called for a penalty and it brought the ball back to the and Lindley s final pass att fell inc. One huge bright spot in the loss was Fr RB Hillman, who is #6 in the NCAA in rushing with 443 yds (7.3, 7 TD), as he torched the Tigers for 235 yds with TD runs covering 75 and 93 yds. The Aztecs also boast a dynamic one-two punch at WR in Sampson (17 rec, 19.6) and Brown (15 rec, 10.3). The Aggies are 8-0 ATS as an AD and the Aztecs are 8-4 ATS as a HF. USU hosts instate rival BYU on Friday next while SDSt has a bye on deck. LSU W Virginia 17 - WV is 3-9 in non-conf AG s vs BCS tms. LSU is on a 3-9-1 ATS run as a HF vs FBS tms. These tms are very close on both off (L#38-W#41) and def (L#8, W#) but LSU has a large ST edge (#12-55) and has the humidity of the South in their favor and get the gm in their preferred night slot (25-1 SU in Sat night gms under Miles). LW LSU took advantage of 5 Miss St TO s for a 29-7 win despite being outgained 268-264 much like LY as LSU was outgained despite a 9-4 record. LSU QB Jefferson has struggled avg just 115 ypg (58%) with a 2-2 ratio but luckily LSU has a ground gm led by Ridley (3, 5.8) TY (tm avg 3 ypg, 4.9). WV (-10) led MD 28-0 midq LW and held on for a 31-17 win. QB Smith is avg 267 ypg (70%) with a 7-1 ratio and RB Devine has 354 (4.8). WV LY had a 509-400 yd edge at Aub in Sept but came up short due to -5 in TO s. WV HC Stewart is 3-1 ATS as an AD with 2 outright upsets (tm on 5-2 run). We ve never used WV as a 5H in our 29 year history, could they be our 10 Sept 5H? Baylor 31 RICE 21 - Old SWC rivals who played every yr from 45-95. Just one meeting since ( 07) as Rice lost 42-17 (+7) being outgained 52149. This past decade Baylor was a perfect 4-0 ATS in its rare role as AF. BU is off a 45-10 pounding at TCU in which they were outgained 558-263 and outfd d 28-15 and trailed 35 at the half as the Frogs scored TD s on their 1st 5 drives. QB Griffin is avg 234 ypg (56%) with a 5-1 ratio and has 107 rush yds. BU s D hadn t allowed a TD in its 1st 2 until LW s barrage. Rice fell 30-13 at home to NW as they trailed 13-0 thanks to an IR TD as Bailiff once again played musical QB s with Fanuzzi (4 for 211, 0-1 ratio) trading series with Cook (10- for 80, IR TD). The Owls are allowing 413 ypg and 32 ppg (#99 NCAA). BU has the off (#59-90) and D (#70-85) edges and must rebound after LW s embarrassment. N Carolina 27 RUTGERS - UNC is 1 (1-1 ATS in lined gms) vs Rut with the only win coming in the last meeting, 44-12 (NC +6) in 08 on the road. NC is 1-5 ATS as an AF the L/5Y (1st time AF TY) and off a big game vs GT while Rut is 13-6 as a HD S/ 02 and fresh off a bye. Two weeks ago, Rutgers scored an unconvincing 19- win over FIU, being outfd d 15-8 and outgained 371-172. QB Savage avg 110 ypg (50%) with a 1-1 ratio. No rec s have gone over 100 yds yet and the top rusher, Martinek, has just 137 (4.0). It was deja vu for NC as they found themselves trailing (by the same score) in the final minutes and with a chance to drive for the GW score LW vs GT. Vs LSU Yates drove NC to the LSU6 but missed 2 into the EZ to end the gm. Vs GT NC s final drive stalled at the GT45 when Yates pass only went for 6 on 4&10 with 1: left. NC was outgained 44852 and ended on the wrong side of a 30-24 score. Yates is avg 310 ypg (67%) with a 4-0 ratio. The top rec is Boyd with 6 (36.5!) while the top rusher is White with 136 (5.4). Rutgers RB Martinek is? (leg, CS) and UNC may have the full slate of susp players back for this one (CS). UNC delivered B2B 5H Winners a few years back, do we ride the Heels here? MINNESOTA 27 Northern Illinois 24 - UM is just 2-6 ATS as a HF but is 26-1 SU vs current MAC tms. These teams last met in the 08 opener and UM trailed in the 4Q prior to a 74/10pl drive scoring a TD w/: left for the 31-27 win (-8 ).

This is NI s 3rd road game in 4 wks and they have their MAC opener on deck but UM has their B10 opener on deck. These teams have played similar schedules (UM #80-87) and while UM has the off edge (#69-85), NI has the def edge (#74-89). UTEP 41 Memphis 24 - Despite being upset in all 3 meetings, UTEP has outgained Memphis in 2 of the 3 as they are a combined -12 in TO s. The Miners are 6-2 ATS hosting CUSA opp s and have momentum after LW s defeat of NMSt as QB Vittatoe threw for 5 TD s but the offense was w/o RB Buckram for a 3rd consec game w/a knee inj (CS). The Tigers meanwhile were aided by 4 MT TO s in their 7 pt victory LW as QB Williams was avg at best (129 yds, 54%, 1-0 ratio) in his 1st career start. LY RB Steele had a career high 240 yds (6.2, also career high 39 att s) helping the Tigers jump out to a 1Q lead. UM s def also bottled up Buckram who tallied just 58 yds (3.2). LY UTEP was coming off a big upset of Houston and favored on the road but lost 35- (-1 ). While the Miners are just 4-11 ATS as a HF, Memphis is making their 3rd road trip in the first 4 wks of the season giving UTEP the edge here. Oregon 38 ARIZONA ST 17 -These 2 schools have avg d 65 ppg over their L4 with the Ducks winning 5 consec SU and ATS. The Oregon offense has been virtually unstoppable over the first 3 wks of the season as they have avg 6 ypg (school record 528 rush yds LW) while outscoring opponents by a 9-13 margin. After 2 meetings with IAA to begin the year (48-15 avg score), the Sun Devils faced their 1st true test of 10 and nearly came away with the upset in Wisky as the Badgers blocked the tying PAT w/4:09 left to hold onto the -19 win (3H College Totals Winner on the Under). LY UO RB James ran for 150 yds and 3 TD in the Ducks 44-21 victory as UO held ASU to just 70 1H and 211 total yds. The last 3 trips here UO has covered by 34 ppg as they were a dog twice and a 1 pt fav once but won the 3 games by an avg of 44-17! While the Sun Devils are 8 ATS in P10 home openers, UO has owned this series and have begun each year on the right foot going 19-4 ATS in their 1st P10 game of the season while favs of 10 or more who scored 45 or more vs B2B non-conf opponents are on a 30-11 ATS run over the L/5Y. TROY 41 Arkansas St 31 - Troy is 3-0 SU/ATS in the series and LY was +2 on the road and won 30-27. Troy is 10-4 ATS as a HF and beat ASU here 35-9 (-12) in 08.

Troy has what could be a showdown with MT on deck (10 days) in a game which could decide the SBC Champ. Troy has a big off edge (#45-97) despite ASU s QB Aplin avg 3 ypg (61%) with a 4-1 ratio and 2 rush TD s. Middle Tennessee 28 LOUISIANA 24 - LY MT was down 17- at HT but pulled the 2H shutout holding UL to just 75 yds while recording 5 sks. This series had 5 str upsets from 03-07 but the fav has won the L/2 (LY MT -13 34-17). UL is off a bye and MT is on its 2nd str AG. UL is 9 SU at home and beat ASU 31-24 as a 2 pt HF TY. While MT has what many consider the gm that will decide the SBC on deck (Troy), Louisiana is 1-0 in conf play and a win here would put them in a solid position to challenge for the SBC crown themselves. MT has been without QB Dasher, who has been susp for the first 4 gms but MT has appealed and hopes to have him back here. MT is 5-1 ATS as a conf AF under HC Stockstill while UL is 1-4 as a conf HD S/ 07. FLORIDA ATL 27 N Texas 24 - Last time here, FAU outgained NT by a series high 252 yds.

The Owls are off a bye and are 1-1 SU and 2-0 ATS TY both as a DD dog. NT has dropped 2 straight ATS. After losing starting QB Tune vs Rice (dislocated hip), they lost QB Thompson vs Army (brkn leg) and moved back LY s starter, Riley Dodge, who was playing at WR after not fully recovering from a shoulder injury suffered LY. NT was outgained 337-1 by Army. FAU has allowed 285 ypg rushing (7.4) and NT s RB Dunbar (1st Tm SBC in 09) could give the offense a spark and take the pressure off the QB position. MARYLAND 31 Fiu - Maryland is just 3- ATS as a fav and 2-9 ATS in non-conf HG s. The Terrapins are 5-2 SU but 1-6 ATS vs current SBC foes (been upset outright the L/2Y).

Maryland only has a #84-100 offensive edge while the D s are even (#72-73 FIU).

PRO ANGLES There are 3 main methods of handicapping, Fundamental, Situation & Technical. Fundamental handicapping, or the analysis of personnel matchups & power ratings, is our main method of handicapping. This accounts for roughly 50% of how we view a game. Situational handicapping (analysis of letdown, look ahead, systems) takes up approximately 25% of our handicapping. Technical handicapping (analysis of angles) takes up the rest. You should never base your final selection on 1 factor. To be a complete handicapper you must look at all 3 methods. For more complete analysis you should read Ten Keys To A Winning Season. Each week in Power Sweep we provide the angle section to add to your handicapping arsenal. Many times we will agree with the angle plays. Sometimes the Fundamental & Situational aspects of a game will outweigh the angles & we have the other side written up in Power Sweep. We want to make it clear that the side we write up in Power Sweep is the side we are on. We are NOT Technical handicappers, but we do use them in our handicapping analysis. Each week in Power Sweep we provide pro angles for the current week's games. For the angle plays the number in the ( ) indicates how many angles apply to that team. The higher the number the stronger the angle play. Scores, Lines, Weather (4) Angle Plays 29--1 67% L/5Y!

This is done at the request of our subscribers who want handicapping tips & methods. Many times we will agree with the side that the system chooses. Sometimes the Fundamental & Technical aspects of a game will outweigh the system & we have the other side written up in Power Sweep. We want to make it clear that the side we write up in Power Sweep is the side we are on. If that is ever the case during a week, keep the system for future use, but be aware that the side we write-up in the Power Sweep Selections page is the side we are on. This is the 27th season of our System Section & it has been a consistent winner. Each week we release a super system which pertains to that week's games. 2-0 this year!
