West Virginia at South Florida (10/30/2009)

I think this will be a hard fought game, but ultimately my lean is toward WVU... South Florida has had a lot of hype surrounding them, but haven't delivered the last two weeks. 

WVU has not been out rushed in any game this year. They handle the ball and eat up the clock. I suspect this line would be 10-13, if the game was at WVU.

South Florida has lost their last two... In my opinion, this isn't a team that can bounce back. Their next 4 games (after WVU) are Rutgers, Louisville, Miami, & Uconn. This team has been faded, but Vegas is hoping the public remembers FSU & Syracuse. They have to bounce back, right?!?  WRONG... (Just my opinion)

Final play...  WVU -4 ($1)  Un 48 ($1)  Parlay- WVU -4/Un 48 ($.5)

WVU-  27    USF-10

Good luck to all!!

A: What are you talking about?

B: Didn't that dude in your avatar get his ass kicked?

Going to be a knock down drag out game. I'll take the team with the better rushing attack in the end.  

WVU 24 USF 16

GLTA

WVU-3 (3 units)

I look at WVU's win/loss and do not understand why they are ranked #20. They are 6-1 vs: UConn (emotional team), Marshal (So ?), Syr (And...), COL (Wow...), Aub (SEC Loss to a team that can't score in the SEC), ECU & LIB (Impressive?)!

SFU actually has better defensive numbers. Pitt and Cincy are no joke. FSU's Ponder is a solid QB in a mess of a program. 

FSU is coming off of 2 togh losses, at home, with a coach that won't quit, vs a team that already thinks it is deserving. Furthermore, while while WVU is riding the talent of Devine and the rest of Coach Rodrigez's recruiting; FSU is scrating to win.

I picked up on Cincy/SFU. I believe that is because the FSU coaches underestimated Collaros in the second half. But who knew he would make Cincy a better team?

SFU is the play here.

BTW, remember this game in three weeks when you're picking the "Backyard Brawl".

BOL

SFU is coming off of two tough losses, at home, with a coach that won't quit, vs a team that already thinks it is deserving. Furthermore, while WVU is riding the talent of Devine and the rest of Coach Rodrigez's recruiting; SFU is scratching to win.

(Sorry about the typos.)

Leaning toward the over. WVU wins 31-21

My parlay for the weekend!!!!!     Cinnci,UTEP,Georgia Tech  what do you think

• WVIRG are 1-7 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
• SOFLA are 3-11 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

West Virginia is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 conference games, 2-6 ATS in its last eight games as a favorite and 1-4 ATS in its last five games overall. The Bulls are 5-2 ATS in its last seven games as an underdog and 13-6 ATS in its last 19 home games.

WVU has finished over the total in five of the last seven games overall and USF is 4-1 over/under in its last five games. The Bulls are also 9-3 over/under in last 12 home games but the last four meetings between these two teams have stayed under.

West Virginia has been favored every time it’s faced the Bulls but it has only covered once since 2005. It’s split 2-2 SU with the average of just 35 total PPG.

It looks like the trends really favor USF in this one BUT I have a hard time taking them due to the play of Daniels.

I’ll be taking West Virginia -3 for the game and possibly -1.5 at the half.

The average total over the last 3 games is 33.5. with the margin of victory ranging from 5-8. I think I’ll also tease WVU to +3 and play Under 54 as well.

Record last week {CFB and NFL combined was 14-8-1, or 60.1%. Up 21 units from last week. Started the week out pretty good taking the Phillies on the ML in Game 1 and North Carolina last night +17 and in a teaser with +23.5 and under 53.5. I have to work a double shift today getting off work at 11 PM so I’ll be watching the game as I supervise in our manufacturing facility via MSN’s GameTrax.

On a side note and not related to this game: I have cashed out a minimum of 2K each week for the last 4 weeks which is MUCH better than my final season tally for last year of – 10,800! I have finally learned {it only took 23 years} to manage my wagers and not chase a win after losses. I wager an average of 5% of my bank per game and possibly 10% IF some of the better cappers and I seem to agree. My bank is at 2794.00 so MAYBE I can continue to resist the urge to plunk down 10 units {1K} on a single game.

GLTA this weekend!

Taking WVU for one reason Noel Devine. S. Florida got burned by PITT and Dion Lewis last week and the same should happen against WVU and Devine this week. S.Florida has now dropped to 59th in the country against the rush giving up an average of 132.4 yards per game on the ground. WVU is now ranked 23rd in the nation in rushing yards per game at 191.7 per game. After last weeks game of 23 carries for 178 yards, Devine has pushed himself to #3 in the nation in rushing yards per game at just over 130. He will be too much for S.Florida to handle.

BJ Daniels may be able to find some open receivers tonight against WVU's 88th ranked Pass D but not enough to keep them in the game all night. WVU will control the clock and eventually run Devine to a win and cover.

WVU -3

As much as I love ur avatar I'm going to have to disagree. This is another typical season for Coach Levitt and South Florida when they start off hot and fall apart on national TV when they have a chance to make a huge statement.

Last year they started 5-0, lost to PITT on a Thursday on national TV and finished 2-5. The year before that they started 6-0, lost to Rutgers on a Thursday on national TV and finished 3-3. This year they started 5-0, lost to Cincinnati on a Thursday on National TV and are now 0-2 in their last 2. I'm starting to see a trend here and can pretty much guess how this season ends up for S.Florida.

WVU is the pick

Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

im deff on the wv train they never let me down on a weekday national tv game. wv rolls 30 14
