Lines are even tighter this week than they were last week. I can't believe it but sure as I sit here, I have fewer bets even now than I did then...
Wake always seems to keep it close against Clemson. In fact, depending on where you shop, if you've taken Wake plus the points in all six previous meetings with Grobe vs. Tommy, you'd have gotten the cash every time. Last year, the Tigers handed Wake their league loss in Winston-Salem. If the opportunistic Wake defense (25 turnovers forced) can grab a few more today, their offense should be able to trade punches with Tigers.
The play: Wake plus 9 for a medium bet and ML small.
South Florida coming off three straight losses but I have no interest in Cuse, which just continues to digress. Shocked that this isn't 20 or more but recent skid gives me value on the favorite.
THe play: South Florida -15.5 for a medium bet.
If Arizona State can rebound off the tough loss last week in Eugene, much prefer that side to sorry UCLA bunch that might now be playing for a lame-duck coach. Bruins also could be down to a fourth-string QB and that's a bad sign against a Sun Devil defense that will be eager to atone for troubles last week against Dixon and Duck offense.
THe play: Arizona STate -6.5
Illinois played OSU tough last season in Champaign and anytime you want to give Ron Zook double-digits, I'll always be glad to take them (5-1 last year, first spot in this role in 2007)... With the close call last season, expect Juice to have plenty of confidence considering the Illini outgained OSU. Respect the Buckeyes and their remarkable Big 10 run over the last few seasons, but if it doesn't come to an end next week - it might today.
The play: Illinois plus 15.5 for a medium bet and ML +550 small.
FSU is now seven for eight in the last 8 'dog' spots, and proud Noles now have a chance to wreak havoc on another ACC hopeful titleist. Glennon has been better as of late but FSU's offense finally found its stride last week and expect a carryover today.
The play: FSU plus 7 and ML for a medium play.
Waiting for San Jose to try and lay 3. Holbrook is healthy but give me Dick Tomey over Shallow Hal for whatever if you give them equal teams...
Marshall 6-15 last 21 ATS. Skipper is 14-3 last 17 as a visitor since 2005. Thundering Turd has very little chance to contain surging Pirate offense (46 ppg last 5 vs. C-USA teams). Missed the price here. Bad deal.
THe play: East Carolina -7 for a medium bet.
Is Oklahoma too easy? Maybe. It's a score-namer, that's for sure.
THe play: Oklahoma -38 for a small bet.
NC State was on my map last week and this is definitely a "go-with" now that Tom O'Brien's efforts are starting to pay off. That's three straight wins, while Carolina's sputtering offense (16 or less points in five of last six games) should struggle with revenge-minded Wolfpack.
The play: NC State -3 for a big bet.
Lean to Cal but passing for now. Need more info on both sides; it would be appreciated.
Nothing else looks too zesty, and I'm not a big fan of any of the totals, really, either.
Will be interested in listening to anyone who can talk to me about a game that I might be on the fence about.
Not too many plays, and if you have questions about a certain game, just ask me and I'll try to respond when I get a little time....
