    Maryland/Georgia Tech - 10/23/03

    GEORGIA TECH +2.5 - The Yellow Jackets are 4-2-1 ATS this season, and the interesting aspect of this is that they were underdogs in all 4 covers! They continue to get no respect, turning up as a somewhat surprising home underdog here vs. an overrated Maryland team. Sure, Maryland is 5-2, but...

    Virginia Tech/West Virginia - 10/22/03

    VIRGINIA TECH/WEST VIRGINIA Under 53 - The Hokies of Virginia Tech have REVENGE on their minds after a shocking 21-18 home loss to the Mountaineers last season. I expect a concerted defensive effort by Tech in here, and I fully expect them to stuff the West Virginia running game and take the...

    Yankees/Marlins - 10/21/03

    YANKEES/MARLINS Under 7.5 ?120 - The first 2 games of this series slid Under the total, and I expect more of the same tonight. Granted, this total is 2 runs lower than the 9.5 put up at Yankee Stadium in each of the first 2 games, but neither of those games would have gone Over even tonight?s...

    Chiefs/Raiders - 10/20/03

    OAKLAND RAIDERS +4 - While the on-field performances of these teams this year do not support this play, I simply can not resist taking the Raiders as a home underdog, especially at more than a field goal. Oakland has not been an underdog at home since the tail end of the 1999 season, and they...

    Jets/Texans - 10/19/03

    JETS/TEXANS Under 37.5 - Frankly, I am not sure where the points will come from in this game. Despite the improvement of QB David Carr, Houston is still managing just 17.2 points per game, with their season high being 24 vs. Jacksonville. While the Jets have had their problems, not cracking the...

    USC/Notre Dame - 10/18/03

    NOTRE DAME +8 - The Irish seems to always rise to the occasion vs. stiff competition, as evidenced by their impressive win at Pittsburgh last week. Now they face an even more daunting task vs. the #4 team in the nation, but it would not be the first time that Notre Dame knocked off an upper...

    Tulane/Louisville - 10/17/03

    LOUISVILLE ?15 - The Cardinals are off to a fine 5-1 start, and I think that they will be able to run up the score here on a porous Tulane defense. Louisville is averaging an impressive 32.5 points and 461.7 total yards of offense per contest. More importantly, they have shown excellent balance...

    Air Force/Colorado State

    AIR FORCE/COLORADO STATE Under 52 - This high total gives no respect to a couple of defenses that have played very well. Colorado State is allowing 23.1 points per game, and they have done a good job vs. the run, allowing 124.7 rushing yards per game on just 3.5 yards per carry. This is doubly...

    Red Sox/Yankees - 10/15/03

    BOSTON RED SOX +205 - With all due respect to Andy Pettitte, who is a legitimate Cy Young candidate, I simply can not pass up on a very good Red Sox team at this inflated price. As good as Pettitte has been, Boston had him on the ropes several times in the early innings in Game #2, but let him...

    Falcons/Rams - 10/13/03

    ATLANTA FALCONS +10.5 - Even though Michael Vick did not make his personal target of returning for this game, this still looks like a lot of points for an overrated Rams team to be giving. Then again, inflated Rams lines on Monday nights are nothing new, which helps explain their 2-6 ATS record...

    Dolphins/Jaguars - 10/12/03

    JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS +3 - This is not the best of spots for Miami, turning up as a non-division road favorite vs. an in-state rival off of a 3-game winning streak. What makes this game even more precarious for the Dolphins is that they have a big divisional showdown with New England up next. It...

    UCLA/Arizona - 10/11/03

    UCLA -17 - Simply put, this looks like a total mismatch to me, and I just do not see how Arizona can remain competitive. The Wildcats have one of the worst defenses in the land, allowing 36.0 points and a whopping 465.7 total yards of offense per game. At the same time, they are only averaging...

    Michigan/Minnesota - 10/10/03

    MICHIGAN/MINNESOTA Under 53.5 - It seems strange to see such a high total posted in a Big Ten game involving what has become two defensive-minded teams. Michigan always defends well once the conference bell rings, as they have allowed only 19.5 points per game in conference play since 2000. I...

    Kentucky/South Carolina - 10/9/03

    KENTUCKY/SOUTH CAROLINA Under 43.5 - South Carolina had become one of the better defensive clubs in the nation, allowing only 15.6 points per game. As a result, their 5 games so far this year have averaged a combined 38.4 points per game, a full touchdown less than this posted line. They have...

    Red Sox/Yankees - 10/8/03

    RED SOX/YANKEES Under 9 ?125 - This looks like a rather high total when you consider that the 5 Boston games in their first round series with Oakland averaged a total of 7.0 runs per game, while the Yankees 4 games with Minnesota averaged an even lower 5.5 runs per contest. In fact, NONE of the...

    Titans/Patriots - 10/5/03

    NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS +1 - With all due respect to a very fine Tennessee team, I just can not resist backing New England as a small home underdog. The Patriots are 14-5 S/U at home since the start of the 2001 season, winning by an average of 4.1 points per home game. They have been a home dog 8...

    Texas A&M/Texas Tech - 10/4/03

    TEXAS TECH -5 - Texas Tech has won 3 of the last 4 meetings in this head-to-head series, including an exciting 48-47 victory at A&M last season. Tech has been terrific here at home, where they are 11-3 S/U and an impressive 10-3, 76.9% ATS since the start of the 2001 season, winning their home...

    Oregon/Utah - 10/3/03

    OREGON/UTAH Under 57 - Oregon was caught in a natural letdown spot last week after defeating Michigan in their prior game, and they were promptly embarrassed 55-16 by Washington State. While the Ducks are not as bad as they looked last week, their previous offensive numbers may have been...

    West Virginia/Miami - 10/2/03

    WEST VIRGINIA/MIAMI-FLA Under 54.5 - The problem with this lofty total is that only one team figures to do any scoring tonight! This Miami defense is only allowing 14.8 points per game this season, and if we factor out the 33 points Florida put up on them, they are only allowing 8.7 points per...

    Red Sox/Athletics - 10/1/03

    RED SOX/ATHLETICS Under 7 ?115 - All 3 of the Tuesday MLB Playoff games went easily Under, and this game features the best pitching matchup of all. Pedro was his typical self this season, going 14-4 with a 2.22 ERA and a 1.04 ratio. He was virtually unhittable in September, allowing a TOTAL of 3...
