    Twins/Yankees - 9/30/03

    MINNESOTA TWINS +165 - This one is strictly a VALUE play, as surprisingly, very little separates these starting pitchers statistically. Yes, Mussina finished at 17-8 with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.08 ratio. However, Santana was not exactly chopped liver, as he ended up 12-3, and he actually had a lower...

    Chargers/Raiders - 9/28/03

    SAN DIEGO CHARGERS +7 - Both of these teams are 0-3 ATS, so something has to give. The Raiders have the disadvantage of coming back on short rest after playing Monday night, although an argument can be made that they actually did NOT play on Monday, given their embarrassing performance! I don?t...

    Arkansas/Alabama - 9/27/03

    ALABAMA +1 - Arkansas is off to an impressive 3-0 start while beating Texas along the way, while Alabama is coming off of a shocking home loss to Northern Illinois. However, I feel that all that has done is give us some excellent value on Alabama here at home. The Crimson Tide is 4-2 ATS as a...

    Nebraska/Southern Miss - 9/25/03

    NEBRASKA/SOUTHERN MISS Under 37.5 - Nebraska may hold a class edge here, but the bottom line is that this is still 2 mediocre at best offenses and 2 pretty good defenses. In fact, the Nebraska defense could be considered great, as they are allowing just 8.0 points and 208.0 total yards of...

    Pirates/Mets - 9/23/03

    NEW YORK METS ?130 - Yes, I realize that these are the Mets, and that they have now lost 8 in a row. However, Leiter has pitched some of the best ball in the National League in the second half of the season, and he is now a very respectable 13-9 while pitching for a dreadful ball club. He has...

    Giants/Redskins - 9/21/03

    NEW YORK GIANTS +2.5 - This is a much more important game for the Giants than it is for Washington, as the New Yorkers want to avoid falling 2 games behind the division leader this early in the season. This is the first road game of the season for the Giants, but they have traveled very well...

    Louisiana Tech/Fresno State - 9/20/03

    LOUISIANA TECH +10 - The Bulldogs of Louisiana Tech served notice that they have arrived in Division 1A with their road victory at Michigan State last week, arguably the most important victory in the history of this program. Unlike past seasons, when Tech simply tried to outscore people, this...

    Nevada/San Jose State - 9/18/03

    SAN JOSE STATE +1.5 - San Jose State has won this matchup 2 of the last 3 years, averaging 45.7 points per game in the process, and I like them to emerge victorious as a small home dog here. They will also be motivated by the fact that they are seeking revenge for a 52-24 whooping at Nevada last...

    Devil Rays/Red Sox - 9/17/03

    DEVIL RAYS/RED SOX Under 10 ?110 - These clubs combined to score only 5 runs on Tuesday, and I am looking for another low scoring affair tonight. Jeff Suppan finally appears to have settled down in a Boston uniform, as he has now posted 3 Quality Starts in his last 4 outings. Moreover, he has...

    D-Backs/Dodgers - 9/16/03

    DIAMONDBACKS/DODGERS Under 6.5 ?110 - I know that this is a low total, but I honestly feel that these clubs will struggle to top 5 runs in this game! Schilling has been brilliant in his last 10 starts vs. Los Angeles, 9 of them Arizona victories, as he posted a 1.89 ERA and a sensational 0.88...

    Braves/Expos - 9/15/03

    BRAVES/EXPOS Under 8.5 ?105 - Livan Hernandez is quietly having an excellent season pitching in the obscurity of Montreal. He is 13-8 on the year, and he is among the NL leaders in ERA at 2.94. He also enjoys pitching at home, where he is 9-4 with an excellent ratio of 1.09. When Hernandez...

    49ers/Rams - 9/14/03

    ST. LOUIS RAMS ?3 - Apparently, Kurt Warner suffered a concussion in the first quarter last week vs. the Giants, yet he played the entire contest. No wonder he fumbled 5 times and threw an interception! Warner will watch from the sidelines this week as Bulger lines up under center. If you...

    Purdue/Wake Forest - 9/13/03

    PURDUE -1 - I cashed a nice ticket on Wake Forest +8 last week, but backing them in a Pick'em game in this spot is an entirely different story. They were very inspired in that effort vs. N.C. State, as they felt that the Wolfpack had made some derogatory remarks about having to face the Demon...

    Indians/Royals - 9/11/03

    INDIANS/ROYALS Under 9.5 ?110 - These clubs combined to score 16 runs on Wednesday night, but I expect far fewer runs to be scored in this afternoon?s quick turnaround game. Last night?s result notwithstanding, the Under is still a very solid 10-4-1 in the last 15 head-to-head meetings between...

    Giants/Padres - 9/10/03

    GIANTS/PADRES Under 8 ?110 - Although Rueter has been ineffective since coming off of the DL, San Diego seems like an ideal team for him to turn things around against. He has been brilliant in his last 6 starts vs. the Padres, all of them Giants victories, posting a remarkable 1.95 ERA in those...

    Cubs/Expos - 9/9/03

    MONTREAL EXPOS +125 - I will go for the VALUE play here, as this looks like a generous line in a game that I rate a toss up. Day has been hit hard in his last 2 starts, but that followed a string of 5 consecutive Quality Starts. He is still 7-6 with a good 3.98 ERA on the year, and the fact that...

    Red Sox/Orioles - 9/8/03

    RED SOX/ORIOLES Under 9 - Baltimore?s Rodrigo Lopez now appears to be completely healed of the injury that hindered his early season performance and landed him on the DL. He has now rattled off 5 Quality Starts in his last 7 starts overall, as well as 4 Quality Starts in his last 5 home outings...

    Cardinals/Lions - 9/7/03

    DETROIT LIONS ?4 - New coach Steve Mariucci is trying to bring a winning attitude to the Lions, who are coming off of a dismal 3-13 season. They could not find a softer opponent against whom to start the new year on a winning note, as Arizona is arguably the worst team in all of football...

    Houston/Michigan - 9/6/03

    MICHIGAN ?27.5 - Michigan is currently ranked #7, and they showed why with a resounding 45-7 win over Central Michigan to begin the season. The Wolverines traditionally feast on non-conference opponents, especially here at home. In fact, Michigan is 14-1 S/U in home non-conference games over the...

    Dodgers/Rockies - 9/5/03

    DODGERS/ROCKIES UNDER 11.5 ?105 - I know that this is Coors Field, but I simply can?t resist playing an Under in a Dodgers game with a double digit total. The Los Angels offense continues to flounder, and they are batting just .229 as a team vs. right-handers on the road this season. Thanks to...
