I hate going against you Ray because I've won a lot of games with you. I have Fl St. tonight -10.
NC State, which is 3-2 SU and 4-0-1 ATS in its last five meetings with FSU, knows how to play against the Seminoles better than most (certainly outside of the Sunshine State). Former FSU assistant Chuck Amato understands how to prepare his Wolfpack when they take on the Noles and NC State will easily stay inside this number tonight. It will be a tight, low-scoring game this evening and no way FSU covers this large number. Florida State might win, but it won't cover against this more-rested Pack team in Raleigh that is off a confidnce boosting home win over Boston College a dozen days back.
NC State has been inconsistent on the defensive side of the football at times this year, but the Pack stop unit has shined at times this year and it will be jacked up to face this less-than ordinary FSU offense that is averaging just 315 yards per game total offense. The ground gain has been stagnant (108 ypg) and QB Drew Weatherford has as many TD passes (3) as interceptions (2) this year. The offenisve line, which contains three first-year starters and has given up 10 sacks this year, is banged up including starting tackle Shannon Boatman, who has a bum knee. NC State, which is second in the ACC with 12 sacks, is solid on third down conversiosn (29 percent). The secondary is a strength and with senior linebacker James Martin leading the charge, I look for the Pack to stuff the ordinary FSU ground game and force Weatherford into mistakes.
NC State turned over the quarterbacking duties last game to Daniel Evans, who in his first start led State to final minute game-winning drive over nationally-ranked Boston College. He'll be playing with a lot of confidence in his second start and has a good runner in tailback Andre Brown (6.4 ypc) to hand the ball off, too. The Pack O-line have allowed only six sacks this year and the entire Pack offense will benefit playing against this FSU defense that while stout, is experiencing some mid-season personnel changes. Both starting corners are hobbling (and that's not including top cover man Tony Carter, who is out with a knee injury). Defensive end D.J. Norris will only see spot duty. Starting noseguard Paul Griffin was lost to injury a few games back and linebacker Marcus Ball, who had 10 tackles against Troy, wrecked his knee last week against Rice and is out for the year. This is a quality defense, but not a healthy one.
The Pack has the kicking game edge in this one as the Noles rank near the bottom in the ACC in net punting, kickoff returns and punt returns. NC State has a solid kicker in John Deraney, who has never missed in 71 career extra point attempts and banged home a 54-yard field goal earlier this season. Neither of these teams are world beaters as the entire ACC appears to be down this season. But catching this many points at home against an offense that struggles to move the football, NC State is a rock solid play tonight. They'll keep it close and easily stay inside this number.

After having its nation's longest win streak snapped at home last Thursday night by BYU, a more rested Texas Christian team will bounce back and shut down Utah tonight. This will be a hard-fought low-scoring game and I expect TCU to emerge with a 7-to-10 point victory. After seeing this Utah team be whipped by UCLA in the season opener and Boise State last week by a combined 67-13 score, I'm just not a believer in either head coach Kyle Whittingham nor quarterback Brett Ratliff (5-for-21 for 30 yards and three picks against Boise).
BYU's passer John Beck killed the Horned Frogs last week, but he's much, much better than Ratliff. TCU is third in the nation in rushing defense and it will slam the Utes' ground game and then bring the heat against Ratliff. This is a TCU defense that held the high-powered offense of Texas Tech to a field goal while Baylor managed just seven points on TCU. This is a big bounce back game for the TCU defense and it will shine tonight.
Don't worry about whether TCU quarterback Jeff Ballard will be able to play becuase of his sore shoulder. He'll be ready and we're getting great value here because of the perception that he might not play. TCU can effectively run the football (172 ypg rushing) and it will on this Utah defense that has given up 392 rushing yards the past two games. The Frogs (ATS runs of 11-4 overall and 5-0 as a dog) will control the clock in this game. Utah is a mere 1-5 ATS at home under Whittingham and the Utes are going down this evening.

I know ncst has been improving, but how in the world did they lose to so. miss 37-17? I think they are the play tonight expecially if the line gets back to 10 or 10-, but is this somthing to be concerned about or have they turned corner.
Raymond, nice job as always.
Been meaning to ask you if you get a discount on bullets? Would also like to ask if your plays take into account the expense of all the those bullets?

Miss ya bud, hope all is well!
