College football midweek pointspreads on the move

Central Michigan at Virginia Tech (Opened: -24; Current -21.5)

The injury news regarding Hokie running back Ryan Williams is not particularly encouraging, which could explain why the point-spread has been falling.

Williams missed Virginia Tech’s last two games with a hamstring problem and he has been limited in practice this week. Running backs coach Billy Hite confirmed that Williams is not at full speed and said of his status for Saturday: “it looks tough.”

Central Michigan is 4-1 ATS this season and had a respectable showing two weeks ago at undefeated Northwestern, losing 30-25.

Miami (Ohio) at Cincinnati (Opened: -14; Current: -17)

Bettors probably noticed the recent head-to-head history between these two teams and jumped all over the Bearcats when they opened as 14-point favorites.

Cincinnati prevailed by 14 in 2006 and has not beaten Miami (Ohio) by a few number of points since. The three most recent scores were 47-10 in 2007, 45-20 in 2008, and 37-13 last season.

The Bearcats’ 1-3 record won’t be fooling many fans, either. They lost at a surprising N.C. State team three weeks ago before extending Oklahoma in a 31-29 thriller in their most recent outing. Cincinnati is also coming off a bye week, which can only help its cause.
 
Indiana at Ohio State (Opened: -23.5; Current: -21.5)

The Buckeyes may be undefeated, but they were far from dominant last weekend at Illinois. In fact, the Illini pulled within four points with less than five minutes remaining in the game before Ohio State prevailed 24-13.

In its only real test of the season to date, Indiana put up a good showing last week against undefeated Michigan. The Hoosiers tied things up at 35-35 with less than two minutes remaining, but some more Denard Robinson heroics doomed them in a 42-35 heartbreaker.

Analysis:

This is a 1* free play on the "under" between the St. Louis Cardinals and the LA Dodgers on Friday night (10:10 EST).

Lance Lynn (6-1, 3.27 ERA) gets the call for the visitors; Lynn is coming off a no-decision vs. the Brewers on Saturday in which he gave up four runs off eight hits over five frames of work; he'd strike out three and walk two. For the most part Lynn has been the very model of consistency this year and he'll look to bounce back with a better effort vs. a team he's enjoyed success against in the past, going 1-0 with a very respectable 3.75 ERA in two career starts at Dodger Stadium. Lynn will be opposed by Chris Capuano (1-2, 4.84 ERA) who went eight frames on Saturday vs. the Braves, allowing five hits, leaving the game with a 1-0 lead with a strained calf: "It wasn't affecting pitch execution out there," Capuano assessed afterwards. "It just feels a little tired. I've got an extra day before the next start (Friday against the Cardinals). With treatment and stuff we should be able to get that ready." The southpaw is 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA over his last three starts, allowing two runs off 10 hits with a walk over his last two. Two competent starters going head to head vs. a couple of inconsistent lineups; I feel the table is set for a low-scoring pitchers duel. How about you? What do you think? Slug-fest or duel?
