Pacific Ten Conference opens league play

1

Labels: , , , , , , , ,

Thursday was a disaster as I made two bets and didn't really have a chance in either game. I'll take Friday off and have two plays ready for Saturday. One Pac 10 game and a MAC Conference game.

Eastern Michigan's last win was in 2008
Eastern Michigan @ Miami OH
I will be going back to this team as I do believe in finding bad teams and bet against them. Eastern Michigan lost every game last year and their first game this year. They lost at home to Army last week but covered the number. Miami of Ohio played stayed with Florida last week but ended up losing. The Red Hawks have Colorado State then Missouri after this game, so this may be their only win within the first four games. The number is fourteen and opened at 16.5, look for the Red Hawks to open a big lead and run away with this home game.

PICK MIAMI OH -14


Stanford @ UCLA
QB Andrew Luck will lead the Cardinal against UCLA
I'm not buying into this Bruin team just yet. Stanford may have the best quarterback in the Pac-10. UCLA still can't play any defense when the game is on the line as they had the lead late last week against a weak Kansas State team. Stanford may be in the conference title run as QB Andrew Luck will be too much for UCLA.

PICK STANFORD -6

The National Football League

Last seasons winning FG
Thursday night football for last years Super Bowl champ has been a nice move for the NFL. Years ago they used to be on Monday Night Football but this seems to be a good fit.

Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints
It's hard to not see the first game of the new season being a stinker like last years Steelers / Titans game. The whole world loves Drew Brees and the happy go lucky Saints. They will score their points and they like to bring pressure. The Minnesota Vikings have the best running back in the league with Adrian Peterson and a QB who has seen everything a defense can throw at a quarterback. New Orleans will get their 28-35 points. The million dollar question is can the Vikings keep pace. I think they can as New Orleans is an aggressive attacking defense and Farve and company know this to be true. Their last game was a 31-28 loss to New Orleans in last seasons NFC Championship game.
Looking for revenge from last season OT loss

PICK OVER 48.5

A very big sporting Thursday

1

Labels: , , , , , ,

Yesterday was another easy winner as the NYM / WAS game stays under eight. Today is a very unusual Thursday as USA basketball, MLB, WNBA, pro and college football. Just a sports bettors nightmare with all these games spaced out evenly all day.

Cincinnati Reds @ Colorado Rockies
Travis Wood looks to keep the white hot Rockies down
The Rockies are red hot as they try to climb back into the NL West race and Cincinnati tries to close the door on the NL Central crown. Colorado has won seven in a row and 30 of it's last 40 at home as they send Jason Hammel (10-7, 4.25 era) to the hill. The Reds will counter with Travis Wood (5-2, 3.19 era). I love these day games following a night game situations. I usually bet the under and today is another good one. The number is low at eight and the two starting pitchers are coming of victories while giving up two or less runs.

PICK UNDER 8.5(+107)

Early morning action

Last night was an easy winner with the ATL/PIT game staying under the number as the Buckos won 5-0. Looking at a few games today and the football for tomorrow.

New York Mets @ Washington Nationals
Livan Hernandez takes the hill for the Nationals
R.A. Dickey (9-6, 2.91 era) faces Livan Hernandez (9-10, 3.81 era) today at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. Hernandez has 1-0 record with a 1.33 era in his only meeting against the Mets while Dickey is coming off a shelling vs the Cubs last week. Early morning start following a night game could lead to some bench players getting a start. New York won last nights game 4-1 and are looking to end a ten game road trip. The Mets just might want to get this game out of the way and head home.

PICK UNDER 8(-105)


Strikeouts and ground balls on tap

Tim Hudson 
Well back to the MLB grind here. NCAA Football started last week and I went 2-2-1 for the week and will play a total for tonights MLB.

Atlanta Braves @ Pittsburgh Pirates
The Atlanta Braves send Tim Hudson (15-6, 2.30 era) to the hill to face James McDonald (2-5, 5.62 era). The Braves are struggling to score runs and Hudson owns the Pirates. Last nights game was a 3-1 win for Atlanta. Lots of ground balls and strikeouts tonight in Pittsburgh.

PICK UNDER 7.5(-105)

Fireworks planned for tonight

Boise State vs Virginia Tech @ Landover, MD
QB Kellen Moore leads the high scoring Broncos 
Two ranked teams. The whole world is watching BSU and wants to see if they are for real. Va Tech knows this and will come out fighting at home on a national stage. This has scoring written all over it. I can easily see BSU getting 35 points and Va Tech right there with them at 28. Playing a side is to risky here as the spread is near a pick. I'm looking for points and more points. All of college football wants to see if BSU is for real.

PICK OVER 51.5

Midshipmen playing on Labor Day

Ken Niumatalolo has Navy headed in the right direction
Taking yesterday off was a nice refreshing change to sports watching. Wisconsin took the life out of me with their push, but life goes on weather I win or lose. Two college football games to end the opening week. MLB will be on the back burner for a while, I may play a total here and there but that's it until the playoffs.

Navy vs Maryland @ Baltimore, MD.
This is a very good Navy team as the Midshipmen look for another 10 win season as they open their season against a young Maryland team. The line is less than a touchdown and very attractive. The young Maryland team will have a tough challenge staying with their assignments on defense against the triple attack Navy will throw at them. Playing at a neutral site will be in favor of the Middies as they always draw well. Two teams going in different directions as Maryland is coming off a two win season and Navy was a ten win bowl team last season.
