You all seem to be forgetting a key ingredient: Steven Jackson. With Jackson in the game and seemingly healthier than last week, he adds a whole new dimension. I will gladly take STL with Jackson in a double digit spread against a not spectacular defense. GLA!

South Florida has owned my team and I really don't see a difference here. Both teams aren't playing real well, but I feel like history repeats and South Florida, if nothing else keeps it close. I also don't see a lot of points here as neither South Florida or WVU has been playing well offensively, and WVU's defense is playing well enough to at least contain South Florida. Definitely take the under and lean on S. FLA. GLA

83% of the public buying New England means I'm taking Seattle. Yeah, New England is way better and there is no reason to take Seattle, but that is way way too much play on NE side and we all know that the bookies aren't going to take a bath on Seattle. Ride against the tide, Seattle. GLA.

Thank you all for your input, because you have all pushed me towards the Browns. Besides the fact that a couple of you have used the dreaded four letter word that starts with "L", 81% of the public are taking Indy and the line hasn't moved. Vegas is not going to lose money on Cleveland. Also, take a look at the trends.
For Cleveland:

I don't pretend to be some expert at all which is why when I see something that the bookies want me to see, I'm going on the side of the bookies. They know way more than I do and they sure don't screw up and make a line too low. I would say all day long that Vandy will beat the tar out of Tennessee because I've watched them both play, however the experts out there are telling me that this is going to be a close game and to get people to take Vandy, they are giving us a low spread. Over 70% of the online public tells me that whoever set this line knows something. This isn't a screw up, it says, take Tennessee. So I'll follow the book. Good Luck everyone.

The same trend goes. ACC team gets ranked, ACC ranked team loses the next game. Long live ACC mediocrity. Wake Forest takes this one. GLA

ACC team gets ranked. Following week, ACC team falls. I'm staying with that trend. Maryland goes down. Florida State all the way. GLA!

St. Louis has done well only when Jackson has been there in the last two seasons. Jackson is the key, but he ain't even flying out with the team. St. Louis will not due much at all against San Fran. On the other side of the ball, with Singletary making the occasional guffaws, the questions surrounding the quarterback, and a shoddy line, I don't like taking San Fran either. So I'm going with a low scoring game. Under. Just a few ATS to check out:

Someone asked about the over/under. In addition to the last 8 games going over in this series, there is also this:

Chargers fans, missing Marty Schottenheimer yet? Norv Turner is the worst coach in the league and if the team wasn't so talented, they'd look like the Raiders. If someone other than Turner was coaching, I'd lean towards San Diego but as it stands, I'm taking Pittsburgh. I am going to keep winning money by betting against the overvalued Chargers. Sorry Charger backers, but until SD changes coaches, SD should not be favored this closely to a good team, and favored heavily against the heavier teams. Pittsburgh all the way. Good Luck everyone.

Regardless of anything else, Indiana has given up 55 to Wisky, last week, 45 to Iowa, 55 to Illinois, and 42 to Michigan St and Ball St. Granted, Penn State may be different without a healthy Clark may hurt the team, but Indiana has absolutely no defense and all those teams I mentioned don't have anywhere near the defense that Penn State has. Penn State is at home and there is a reason that Penn is 6-2-1 ATS and Indiana is 1-7-1 ATS. Obvious mismatch. Penn State covers easily.
PSU - 55 Ind - 10 GLA |

Oy Ve. I'm not sure what the deciding factor is in this game, but I do know that South Florida has covered just 2 of their past 9 games. Rutgers has covered 4 of the last 5 and the last two games between these two have been decided by three and two points. Rutgers has been playing great the second half of the year. I'm going to stick with Rutgers. They have more momentum right now. Maybe South Florida wins, I'll take Rutgers to cover.

The ACC is an absolute joke and not a single team is able or willing to step forward and take command of the conference. Every team that seems about ready to blow away with the conference falls the next week to a supposed sub par team. The joke is really all of the teams are sub par. UNC is the newest big dog to emerge and if the pattern follows, they should fall here tonight. Maryland has the home field, which is not an easy place to play, and despite the list of injuries, Maryland has still shown something on the field. UNC is an over valued team. 62% of the public voting for UNC and it's always best to go against the public. Also,

BigStimpin, I'm with you. I have no clue why Arizona St is a 5 touchdown favorite. 75% of the experts and 55% of the public is with Arizona State. Washington State is bad, very bad, but Arizona State is not much better. AZ state has only scored over 36 points twice in the whole season. If Washington State scores 10, there is no way for AZ state to cover. Arizona was favored by 41 on them last week and did not cover. I'd say Washington State is a safe cover. Vegas is probably just tired of the public going against pitiful Washington teams. Good Luck

Wow, some of the conversations in here got way out of hand. I thought this was supposed to be insight on how to win money?
Anyway, with the game going to be rainy, I think this favors the ground team, (No. Ill.) more than the air attack, (CMU). Plus Northern Illinois is at home and on national tv. CMU is probably the better team but with some of the key injuries at qb and the weather, and the fact that most of you on here favor CMU, I'll take No. Illinois. When the public is all over one side, always take the opposite because Vegas knows something we "experts" don't. Thats why they keep making money. GLA! |

Stanford is not a bad team and has played well in tough games this year. USC always has blow out potential, but doesn't seem to play as well on the road in conference. Will Stanford win? No, but 22 points is just way too many. If this was 14, I'd probably take it.
Stanford +22 |

Wyoming hadn't covered a game in 15 months, then blew up SDSU and knocked off Tennessee, which I did call by the way. UNLV and Wyoming, oddly enough, are still alive for a bowl should Utah get a BCS bid so both teams will be at least somewhat focused on that. So this is a de facto play off game for the New Mexico Bowl. On the one hand, you have a team riding high after two straight wins including one against Tennessee. On the other hand, you have a team who had been struggling particularly on defense, lost their starting qb, and is starting a freshman. Utah St is not exactly a team to crow about in victory. I am not sure who will win, but I feel that at the very least, Wyoming will stay within a touchdown. I'd like to pick UNLV, and they may still win, but it will be closer than a touchdown. Wyoming all the way. GLA
