Gold Sheet NFL
NFL DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST

INDIANAPOLIS by 8 over Tennessee
OAKLAND by 16 over Buffalo
UNDER 42 total points in the Washington-N.Y. Giants game

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

Denver 21 - JACKSONVILLE 16-Jacksonville defense a force, and so the Jags might be in AFC playoff race for a good while TY. Still, their offense (225 total yds., two Leftwich ints.) often leaves much to be desired. So, even off their big win vs. AFC West rival K.C., will side with more offensively-competent Denver in the 2004 season, which should favor top passers more than LY. The mobile Plummer now 10-2 SU as a Bronco starter,
while the huge Leftwich often hassled in pocket.
(99-JACKSONVILLE -9 27-24...SR: Denver 3-2)

BALTIMORE 19 - Pittsburgh 17-Baltimore 4-1-2 as home fav. LY, but the home game the Ravens forgot to cover was the one vs. Pittsburgh. Since QB Bulger can't be trusted to scare the Steeler defense enough, it's hard to lay substantial points with Balt. vs. foe that has covered 5 of last 6 in series.
Unless QB Maddox comes apart under Raven pressure, his WRs own big edge over Balt. counterparts, even with Deion in secondary. Pittsburgh defense controlled Jamal Lewis LY (183 YR in 2 meetings).
(03-PITT 34-Balt. 15...P.21-17 P.33/98 B.23/88 P.21/29/0/241 B.22/43/1/143
P.1 B.1)
(03-BALT. 13-Pitt 10 (OT)...B.14-9 B.35/123 P.27/56 P.15/29/3/158
B.16/27/1/156 B.1 P.2)

DETROIT 27 - Houston 19-Young teams tend to play much better at home, so best go with youthful Lions, whose budding, speedy offense seems perfectly suited for the great indoors at Ford Field. Houston pass rush inconsistent, and secondary being retooled a bit, so youthful speed of WR Roy Williams & RB
Kevin Jones figure to produce a few long gainers. PK Hanson nearly automatic indoors, while Texans gave up 26 ppg away LY. First meeting of top two QBs taken in 2002 draft-David Carr first overall & Joey Harrington third (Julius
Peppers went in between). (FIRST MEETING)

***Indianapolis 27 - TENNESSEE 19-Prefer to take any points with potent Indy, desperate to avoid killer 0-2 start (does any team have a tougher first 2 games?), even with Titans' double-revenge motive. Colts better balanced on offense (E. James 142 YR at N.E.), especially if Tenn.'s budding star RB C.
Brown (100 yds. in 1st H at Miami) not 100% due to tweaked ankle. If Dungy's defense can blanket WR Mason, the excellent McNair will be forced to chip away vs. lesser targets. Will Titans miss PK Nedney?
(03-INDY 33-Tenn. 7...I.20-14 I.34/127 T.19/53 T.22/34/1/183 I.14/21/0/164

GREEN BAY 27 - Chicago 10-Brett Favre has enjoyed inordinate career success vs. Chicago (including winning & covering last 7 meetings). While Bears' offense has a long way to go (Grossman 2 ints. in opener), Lovie Smith has lots of ideas in mind for his speed-oriented defense, including the
addition of DE Ogunleye (15 sacks LY w/Miami) & rookie DT T. Harris of Oklahoma. Skeptics, however, say the quicker unit will be vulnerable to pounding offenses, which the Packers intend to be with Ahman Green. Chicago only 4-12 vs. spread last 16 away; 11-5 "under" last 16 on road.
(03-G. Bay 38-CHI. 23...C.23-20 G.25/187 C.28/181 G.22/31/1/193 C.25/44/2/180
G.0 C.0)
(03-G. BAY 34-Chi. 21...G.17-13 G.38/97 C.20/44 C.17/40/3/231 G.22/33/1/210
G.0 C.2)
(03-Green Bay -4 38-23, GREEN BAY -7 34-21...SR: Chicago 84-77-6)
***UNDER THE TOTAL Washington 19 - NY GIANTS 13-"Under" is first choice with Joe Gibbs' safety-first offense and N.Y.'s self-destructing offense (Kurt Warner no ints., but 2 fumbles last week; 1 lost). But Washington hardly a margin team, so oddsmakers asking nearly the max to win by a trey.
But Gibbs, Portis & Co. the more reliable entity, especially with
head-hunting LB LaVar Arrington keeping Warner nervous.
(03-Giants 24-WAS. 21 (OT)...25-25 N.31/129 W.22/124 W.23/45/1/332 N.24/39/0/270 N.0 W.0)
(03-Wash. 20-GIANTS 7...W.20-15 W.48/150 N.23/120 W.13/19/0/138 N.12/25/1/100
W.0 N.2)
(03-NY Giants +2 24-21 (OT), Washington +3 20-7...SR: NY Giants 81-59-4)

NEW ORLEANS 20 - San Francisco 17-Despite all the preseason criticism, S.F. was not as "horseshoe" as everyone thought it would be in the opener, easily out-gaining Atlanta, holding the Falcons to just over 200 total yards, and nearly sending the game into OT. Niners built-for-speed defense held the somewhat rusty Mike Vick to 10 YR, 163 YP, and picked up 4 sacks, while Tim Rattay (La. Tech) had 2 TDP & new No. 1 WR C. Wilson was 7 for 94. (02-NEW
ORLEANS -1' 35-27...SR: San Francisco 45-19-2)

ATLANTA 27 - St. Louis 20-Now that Mike Vick has a full, healthy game under his belt, will side with enthusiastic Falcs in Jim Mora Jr.'s home debut. Atlanta secondary leaves a lot to be desired. But so do the road performances of still-learning St. Louis QB Marc Bulger, who tied for the lead in ints. LY with 22). He'll hit a few good plays, but also be hurried by Mora's frequent blitzes. Vick DNP in LY's game.
(03-ST. LOUIS 36-Atl. 0...S.26-9 S.31/119 A.21/73 S.24/35/2/377 A.12/28/2/136
S.1 A.2)
(03-ST. LOUIS -11 36-0...SR: St. Louis 46-23-2)

KANSAS CITY 31 - Carolina 20-Carolina was the "top dog" LY in the NFL, going 7-1 getting points, including the Panthers' near-victory in the Super Bowl. But this is this year, and there is no OL better prepared to deal with Carolina's ferocious front four than K.C.'s quick group. And, as N.E. showed LY in the Super Bowl, several of the Panther DBs can be picked on. After opening loss at Denver, Gunther Cunningham's defenders eager to show they
appreciate his new simpler, sounder, more aggressive schemes. Chiefs "over" 26-12-1 last 39. (00-KANSAS CITY -2' 15-14...SR: Kansas City 2-0)

TAMPA BAY 20 - Seattle 13-The Bucs might have gotten the offensive equalizer they needed in this game when Seattle star RB Shaun Alexander (check status) sprained his knee in last week's wire-to-wire win over at New Orleans. Washington put up a much better battle vs. T.B., holding the Bucs to 30 YR & only 169 yds. total. Not sure Seahawk front seven can turn similar trick this week, as Brad Johnson did dink away, hitting 24 of 37.
With flashy young WR M. Clayton an immediate threat, Garner & Alstott run better this week on own turf. (99-Tampa Bay +5' 16-3...SR: Seattle 4-1)

DALLAS 22 - Cleveland 13-Conflicting tendencies, as Bill Parcells' charges were 7-2-1 when favored LY, while the Browns are 13-5 their last 18 when underdogs. But, in battle of veteran QBs with new teams, will stick with Testaverde, who led Dallas to 27 FDs with 355 YP at Minnesota. Cowboy
defense (No. 1 overall LY), which virtually shut down Randy Moss (4 for 27), not stretched so much by the scrambling, improvising Jeff Garcia. (94-Cleveland +10' 19-14...SR: Cleveland 17-10)

New England 26 - ARIZONA 14-Arizona was 6-2 as a home dog LY, including last-play, last-game victory that finished the Vikes. And N.E. is only 3-4 as a road favorite the L3Ys. Still, the Pats have won 16 straight games and have extra prep time prior to this game and their bye week after. Run defense seemed down a notch without NT Ted Washington. But Cards' offense is
not the Colts.' And one or two mistakes by inexperienced, but developing QB McCown vs. Belichick's gimmicks might be the difference. Play the Super-Bowl jinx theory w/o our help. (99-N. Eng. -3 27-3...SR: Ariz 6-4)

***OAKLAND 26 - Buffalo 10-Home debut for Norv Turner and his more vertical offense (58 & 38-yd. TDP 1st game), while rookie Bills' coach Mike Mularkey taking his ball-control offense on the road. Question: What happens to Buffalo attack if its often-shaky OL can't root out Oakland's new run-stuffers, Ted Washington & Warren Sapp? Answer: Immobile Drew Bledsoe will be under tremendous damn pressure in "The Black Hole," as CB Woodson
blankets WR Moulds. Bills had only 18 takeaways in 16 games LY; have been last in thefts the L2Ys. Bills "under" 24-3 last 27!
(02-Oakland -3 49-31...SR: Oakland 18-17)

SAN DIEGO 23 - N.Y. Jets 22-N.Y. coach Herm Edwards, who finished his playing career at S.D. State and is vocal offseason booster of the Aztec program, definitely had his Jets well-prepared in their last visit to his old college haunts, pounding the Chargers 44-13 two years ago. N.Y. improved, with a healthy Chad Pennington & Curtis Martin (196 YR in opener) and added
size at WR in 6-2 Justin McCareins. But S.D. on its own high, with star runner Tomlinson, a smarter Drew Brees (2 TD in opener), and more def. speed with new 3-4. (02-NY Jets +8 44-13...SR: San Diego 17-10-1)

*CINCINNATI 23 - Miami 16-With Miami QB situation appearing to get worse in its season opener vs. Tennessee, will give the nod to near-rookie Carson Palmer, who seems to have a better supporting cast anyway. Dolphins would probably love to have either Rudi Johnson or Chris Perry at RB, and Bengals
have both. Miami defense still plenty tough. But Palmer has excellent rapport with speed WR Chad Johnson (5 for 99 last week) and is reported to be a quick study. Dolphins "under" 10 of last 13 on road.
CABLE TV-ESPN (00-Miami -7 31-16...SR: Miami 13-3)

RATINGS: 89 & ABOVE: SUPERIOR PLAY
88 & BELOW: ABOVE AVERAGE PLAY

SUMMARY OF PLAYS:
89* NEVADA-RENO
89* NORTH CAROLINA STATE
88* VIRGINIA TECH
88* IOWA STATE
88* RUTGERS
88* INDIANAPOLIS

NEVADA-RENO 44 - Buffalo 13 - (9:05 EDT) Line opened at Nevada minus 13, and is now minus 13?. A week ago, we went against the Bulls as a Superior Play choice, & enjoyed a rather easy cover. In that one, Syracuse (-15) won 37-17, with Buffalo's only TDs coming on a 57-yd fumble return, & on another fumble, this time recovered in the end zone. Buffalo has been near the bottom of the Division 1A barrel since its emergence as a board team in '99, with its outlook hardly improving. Normally a squad which opponents look past. That wasn't the case a week ago, and surely isn't the case here, as the Wolfpack took full advantage of its first opportunity for a blowout vs SacramentoSt, & should do likewise vs the Bulls. No punts in last week's romp, with Buffalo the perfect foil for yet another rout.
RATING: NEVADA-RENO 89

NORTH CAROLINA STATE 27 - Ohio State 17 - (3:30) Line opened at Ohio St minus 3, and is now minus 2?. As we noted in our brief analysis of this game on Pointwise, the Buckeyes have been the masters of the narrow escape, with 13 of their last 19 wins coming by just a touchdown or less. Last week, they connected on a 55-yd FG as time expired, to barely squeak by a Marshall squad which managed only 11 FDs, 177 yds, & 1 TD as a 14-pt chalk in its opener vs Troy St. A year ago, OSU prevailed over the 'Pack in overtime, by stopping NCSt inches short of the goal in the 3rd OT. Thus, the 'Pack won't be awed by the mere presence of the Bucks. Amato has built a legitimate power, with NCSt returning 17 starters, compared to 9 for the Bucks. Definite feeling that the wrong team is favored.
RATING: NORTH CAROLINA STATE 89

VIRGINIA TECH 55 - Duke 14 - (12:00) Line opened at Virginia Tech minus 25, and is still minus 25. The Hokies have been noted for putting big numbers on the board, & with this one being their opening salvo in ACC competition, vs the dregs of the league, no less, we can't see anything but another patented rout. The Devils are off to another dismal start, despite a pair of respectable final scores, which were hardly indicative of the contests. In their opener vs Navy, they had 23-14 FD & 430-265 yd deficits (3 key Middie fumbles), & a week ago, they not only blew a 14-pt lead in the 4th , but had a 461-252 yd disadvantage. Look for the Hokies to shut down the Imps' offense, & take this one with plenty to spare.
RATING: VIRGINIA TECH 88

IOWA STATE 24 - Northern Illinois 14 - (12:30) Line opened at Iowa St minus 1?, and is now minus 2?. A week ago, the Cyclones of IowaSt did something that they hadn't done since their first lined game of the '03 season, namely paying off vs the spot. That's right, 10 straight money burning displays, before their 15-pt cover against arch-rival Iowa. In that one, the Hawkeyes (-22), who are the premier large chalk in the land, went up 14-3 in the 2nd, but the expected romp never materialized, with the Cycs holding Iowa to just a single FG over the final 32:49. Not only that, but ISt held the normally potent Iowa running game to 1.9 ypr. Cyclones outstatted Northern in last year's narrow loss, so throw in revenge.
RATING: IOWA STATE 88

RUTGERS 37 - Kent State 17 - (7:00) Line opened at Rutgers minus 10, and is now minus 10?. As all knowledgeable fans are well aware, the Scarlet Knights a year ago, were the top "go-to" team in the nation, with a spectacular 10-1-1 spread log. And they've taken up where they left off, with their solid opening showing vs MichiganSt, holding a 174-90 rushing edge, in a game which wasn't as close as its eventual 9? pt cover. The Knights return 16 starters, including QB Hart. A week ago, Rutgers suffered from total collapse, allowing New Hampshire to come all the way back from a 24-14 halftime deficit. That only serves as extra incentive for Schiano here. Kent stays in it for awhile, but this is a Rutgers call.
RATING: RUTGERS 88

Indianapolis 31 - TENNESSEE 23 - (1:00) Line opened at Tennessee minus 2?, and is now minus 2. Slight line movement toward the Colts in this one, which certainly isn't due to the Titans' rather easy win over the Dolphins, in a game which featured the running of Brown, in a 182-65 overland edge. Rather, it is respect for the way that Indy moved the ball against that normally smothering Patriot defense. In that one, the Colts amassed more yds (446) than any Pat foe over the entire '03 season. James was his usual awesome self, with 142 RYs. Note that LY, the Patriots allowed only 1 runner to reach 100 yds. A year ago, Indy took a pair from the Titans, & that was before they hit their stride, down the stretch.
RATING: INDIANAPOLIS 88

NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): Nebraska, South Carolina, Rice, Navy -- NFL: Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia

Selection: Play is New Mexico St. Aggies
Line Type: Point Spread
Line Source:
Line: 10.0 / -110

Reason:
At 8:00 pm, our selection is on New Mexico State vs. Troy State, as the
Trojans fall into a similar situation as Notre Dame following their
upset win over Missouri last week. In that game, Troy State was an
11-point underdog, yet upset Missouri 24-14. Now, Troy State is favored
on the road at New Mexico State, who lost 41-14 to California, but
covered as a 37-point underdog. Let's take New Mexico State, as
Non-Conference road favorites cover just 30% of the time off an
outright win as an underdog of 6 or more points, when matched up
against a foe off a pointspread win. Also, the Aggies are a perfect 6-0
ATS as a home underdog since being added to the Nevada rotation in 1999.
Take New Mexico State.

Reason:
At 7 pm, on ESPN, our selection is on the Michigan State Spartans vs.
Notre Dame, as we'll play against the Irish following their upset win
over Michigan as a 10-point dog last week. Now, Notre Dame is a road
favorite, but non-conference road faves are a very poor bet (20% ATS
since 1980) off an outright win as a 6-point dog, when matched up
against a foe off a win. Also, the underdog is 15-6 ATS in this series.
Take Michigan State tonight to get the money for the 8th time in 9 games
vs. Notre Dame.

Selection: Play is UAB Blazers
Line Type: Point Spread
Line Source: Pinnacle Sportsbook
Line: 24.5 / -110

Reason:
At 6:30 pm, on ESPN2, our selection is on UAB vs. Florida State, as the
Blazers fall into a system of mine that is 23-2 ATS since 1980. Two
weeks ago, UAB won its opener, 56-14 vs. Baylor, and Watson Brown's
squad had last week off to prepare for Bobby Bowden's Seminoles, who
lost last week at Miami. That was a heartbreaking loss for Florida
State, and this could be a flat spot for them, as they have a revenge
match against Clemson next week. But FSU better be ready, because UAB
falls into a great 23-2 (92% ATS) Game 2 momentum system that involves
playing on certain teams that won Game 1 by 35+ points, and covered the
spread in that game by more than 16 popints, provided they're not
favored in Game 2 by 14+ points. With 18 returning starters, and a 22-9
ATS pointspread record as an underdog since 1999, we'll take UAB on
Saturday evening.
================================

PPP

OREGON STATE (-12) over New Mexico by 20
No team has had a more brutal opening schedule than the Beavers.
Following their opening week 22-21 OT loss at defending Champ LSU,
they traveled, on a short week, to play the avenging Boise State Broncos
on the strongest home field in the country. Following that 0-2 SU
beginning, they return to Corvallis, stepping way down in class for this
home opener. In last year's Las Vegas Bowl, State completely
outclassed New Mexico, 55-14. In that matchup they held the vaunted
Lobo ground attack to just six yards. And what success will the Lobos
have in the air with first year QB McKarney making his first road start.
Beavers, 19-5 ATS favorite L5Y.

MICHIGAN (-21) over San Diego State by ONLY 13
Wolverines profited from 7 Miami-Oh TO's for a very misleading 43-10
victory in Week 1. They were clearly not so fortunate in Week 2. Young
QB forced to play conservative Football under HC Carr with offense
averaging just 2.4 ypr. Aztecs can take advantage with staunch running
"D" and enough offensive prowess behind QB Dlugolecki to remain
close. Can see this reminescent of Aztecs 13-16 loss (as +30) at Ohio
State LY.

Gold Sheet Confidential Kickoff

11 *NEVADA over Buffalo
Late Score Forecast:
*NEVADA 42 - Buffalo 13



Tough scheduling for Buffalo. Bulls opened with hard-fought conference loss at E. Michigan, hosted high-profile neighbor Syracuse for the first time in a century last week, and now have to travel across the country to face potent Nevada. UB at serious firepower disadvantage. Wolfpack rapidly absorbing "Air Wolf" attack of new/old HC Ault (this is his 3rd tenure as Nevada HC),
racking up 598 yards & 38 FDs in cruising to 59-7 home win over Sacramento State. And star sr. RB Chance Kretschmer, who led NCAA in rushing as a true frosh, recovering nicely from off-season knee surgery, as he had 102 YR on only 14 carries last week. Bulls' offense scored no TDs in 37-17 loss to Orange. And QBs Secky & Piskorik have combined for just 46% with 1 TDP & 4
ints. in first 2 games. Fourteen of downtrodden Buffalo's last 20 losses have been by 2 TDs or more.

10 *MISSOURI over Ball State
Late Score Forecast:
*MISSOURI 45 - Ball State 7

Expect a fully focused effort from HC Gary Pinkel's Missouri Tigers as they return home after extremely disappointing effort at Troy. Ball State was down 45-0 at the half and yielded 599 yards in its 59-7 shellacking at the hands of Purdue last Saturday, and the Boiler starters only played about half the game. The Cardinals are down two defensive starters, as LB Seiss and sr. CB Schembra are out indefinitely with wrist and foot injuries, respectively.
Expect Mizzou QB B. Smith & RB Nash to be ready for a top effort against youthful Ball State defense (nine true frosh or sophs in 2-deep). Last season Mizzou had little trouble dispatching Ball State 35-7 in Muncie in front of a packed house. Tiger QB Smith was injured in that game, missing most of the 2nd half. In their last 8 non-conference road games facing bowl-caliber competition, the Cardinals have given up 46 ppg. Ball State has
only generated 408 yds. in total offense in two games.

10 SAN DIEGO STATE over *Michigan
Late Score Forecast:
SAN DIEGO STATE 13 - *Michigan 24

Long-time CKO sources somewhat surprised veteran, defensively-stout (8th in total "D" LY nationally), well-coached SDS is getting more than 3 full TDs vs. a Michigan squad that is still desperately searching for a productive ground attack that will alleviate some pressure from talented but young, true frosh QB Henne. Wolverine HC Carr, who says he is "disgusted" with a unit (just 171 YR in 71 carries so far!) that may be less than 100% (Underwood missed most of N.D. game with concussion; check status), won't feel a whole lot better about it after facing Aztecs rock-ribbed front 7, spearheaded by high-motor LBs 6-2, 240 Morrison & 6-1, 225 McCoy. Meanwhile, SDS's 6-4 jr. QB Dlugolecki (Illinois transfer) owns enough quality weapons (star RB Hamilton expected to return) to sustain some drives vs. UM defense that lacks the proven "bigs" along retooled DL. And there will be no "fear factor" for Aztecs in Ann Arbor after confidence-boosting 16-13 loss at Ohio State early last season. SDS's clever mentor Craft has few tricks up his sleeve with over 3 weeks to prepare (opening tune-up with Idaho State, followed by bye week).

10 *OREGON STATE over New Mexico
Late Score Forecast:
*OREGON STATE 33 - New Mexico 10

Oregon State heading back to Corvallis for its first home game very hungry for a win after brutal 2-game road trip. Beavers suffered heart-breaking OT defeat (on a missed PAT) in opener at defending national champ LSU, then had to travel to revenge-minded Boise State, owner of the nation's longest
winning streak. OSU shouldn't be lacking for confidence vs. this familiar foe. Beavs completely dominated New Mexico, 55-14, in last season's Las Vegas Bowl. Some of the names have changed, but dynamics of this matchup remain much the same as last meeting. OSU attack owns a much more dangerous
aerial facet than Lobos, as sr. QB Derek Anderson has already thrown 7 TDP TY. And bread-and-butter UNM ground game (only 6 YR in bowl LY) will stall again vs. hard-hitting Beaver front 7. First road start for still-learning Lobo soph QB Kole McKamey. And OSU 19-5 vs. spread as chalk since 1998!

10 *DALLAS over Cleveland
Late Score Forecast:
*DALLAS 27 - Cleveland 13
(Sunday, September 19)

Since precious few NFL teams make playoffs starting out 0-2, Dallas's highly-successful, demanding HC Bill Parcells is placing extra importance in home opener following 35-17 loss at Minnesota. Expect aggressive, quick, well-coached Cowboy defense to do much better job this week vs. a less-explosive Cleveland offense that mustered just 254 yds. with just 1
scoring drive in 20-3 win vs. Baltimore. Doubt Browns able to establish run vs. Dallas stout front 7, placing extra burden on QB Garcia, who is still building rapport with receivers. On other hand, look for Dallas' seasoned, strong-armed QB Testeverde (29 of 50 for 355 yds. vs Vikes) to consistently burn an exploitable Brown 2ndary that lacks a "shutdown" CB and was inadequately tested by Ravens still-developing QB Boller. Moreover, Dallas
was 7-2-1 when favored and 4-1 vs. spread following SU loss in reg. season LY (only defeat came at revenge-mined Philly!).

TOTALS: UNDER (40) in Denver-Jacksonville game-Jag defense is Del Rio's pride; CB Champ Bailey an immediate boost for Broncos...UNDER (38) in Buffalo-Oakland game-Good defense, marginal offense has produced 24 "unders" in last 27 games for Bills!

HONORABLE MENTION: PENN STATE (-21) vs. Central Florida-After being stuffed on road by BC's rugged defense, Nittany Lions eager to get back on track vs. UCF team that had problems with Wisconsin's and WV's unbalanced offenses...VIRGINIA (-31) vs. Akron-The number of future pros on Cav squad should spell early doom for the very aptly named "Zip defense" (40 ppg TY)...ARIZONA (+10.5) vs. Wisconsin-New HC M. Stoops has the Wildcats "believing" & Wiscy has a green QB; game might have been rated higher if top RB Bell's knee were 100%...UAB (+24) at Florida State-Several 'Noles got banged up in Miami game; Blazers deep in athletes & seeking recognition...DETROIT (-3) vs. Houston-Lions lost WR Charles Rogers for the year, but they now have Roy Williams, Tai Streets & a healthy Az Hakim to replace.

PRIVATE PLAYERS OF PITTSBURG

5*Nebraska (-4) over PITTSBURGH by 14
In this very spot last week, we tried to fade Pittsburgh as 18 point home
favorite vs. Ohio U. A large part of our premise was the fact that
Pitt''s offense would miss a lot of production without OC Brookhart, QB
Rutherford, WR Fitzgerald and RB Miree. I was right as the Panthers were
outgained in their 24-3 SU ATS victory by a count of 290-215. Further
West, Nebraska was suffering a rare home loss to S. Miss, 21-17 as 14
point home favorite. Again the stats were not congruent with the final
score. Nebraska, under first year HC Callahan, played as advertised,
balancing their offense with 46 rushes for 274 yards and 202 PY on 22 /
42. They dominated S. Miss with a total yardage advantage of 476-239.
Yet, 5 critical turnovers were their undoing. Though the Panther defense
may be an underrated unit, they will be challenged beyond their means by
this balanced, powerful Nebraska offense. When the Panthers have the
ball, they will again be challenged by a Cornhusker defense that is far
superior to the Ohio Bobcats. No way the Panthers successfully play from
behind should Nebraska get a lead of any kind. In fact, this could get
ugly fast.

2*
ALL SYSTEMS GO

Every Tuesday I isolate the Top 3 Technical plays of the week from a 25
year database. They went on an incredible run LY posting a 9 week record
of
20-7 (74%).

The linemaker makes his biggest adjustments in his power ratings based on
a team''s first two weeks of play. We take advantage in Week 3 with this
powerful situation that provides plenty of value and consistent winners.
Here it is:

Play against any Pick or Favorite to -35 if they began the year 2-0 SU ATS
being favored in both games.

24 year record, 50-20 ATS (71%)

================================

Here are this week''s plays:

Akron +31 against Virginia
Tulane +18 against Louisville
UTEP +27 against Boise State

Please note that if this is a conference game (Tulane and UTEP), the
record is 26-4 ATS.



With the postponement of the Louisville / Tulane game, we substitute yet
another qualifying game in this situation, also providing great line
value.



Utah State +19 against Utah

Though this does not qualify under the 26-4 ATS conference game, this
fierce in-state rivalry will certainly carry that significance for Utah
State.



------------------------------------------------------------------------


2*STEAMROLLERS



Every Wednesday I analyze (3) College Crushers that will Steamroll the
opposition based on statistical mismatches.


VIRGINIA TECH (-26) over Duke by 35
duke has begun the season a characteristic 0-2. Yet, their losses, 12-27
to Navy and 20-22 vs. UConn, belie their stats. For example, in last
week''s 2 point loss, they were outgained 461-252. Now they must travel
for a third consecutive week to face Virginia Tech in their ACC opener.
Hokies have gotten off to fast starts in recent years and now stand 12-1
ATS in their first four games of L3+Y. They totally destroyed W. Michigan
LW, racking up a yardage edge of 487-272 in a 63-0 win. Duke is very
young, playing alot of true Frosh and has already suffered defensive
injuries. In addition, Tech''s defensive front should dominate an
inexperienced Duke OL. For technical support, know that teams to 32 who
won by 51+ and allowed 6 or less last week, now stand 91-35 ATS, including
19-3 ATS recently.

MISSOURI (-24-) over Ball State by 35
Last two years have seen Missouri win this matchup 41-6 and 35-7 LY. This
should be worse. In LY''s game, Missouri outrushed Ball, 290-41. In L2Y,
Missouri Heisman candidate QB Smith has averaged greater than 10 ypr vs.
Ball State. After last week''s embarrassing 24-14 national TV loss to Troy
and with 10 days to prepare, don''t expect any letup from the Tigers. Ball
State was badly mauled by Purdue LW, trailing 45-0 at the half and being
outgained 599-297. Young Cards'' defense is already without two injured
starters. Clearly stepping up in class has not been advantageous for Ball
who has allowed 46 ppg vs. winning non-conference teams. Expect Missouri
to steamroll this one with a least a 300-400 total yardage advantage. For
technical support, consider that home favorites -19+ / loss as RF are 21-5
ATS.

NEVADA (-14) over Buffalo by 24
Horrible spot for Buffalo who faces a rare altitude game after playing
their hearts out vs. Big Brother Syracuse. Yet, in that 37-17 loss, they
were only able to muster 222 yards of offense. Meanwhile, Ault''s "Air
Wolf" attack was wiping out Sac. State, 59-7, on a 598-277 yardage
advantage. With gradual return to health of RB Kretschmer, (the nation''s
leading rusher in his freshman year) the Wolfpack will be balanced and
explosive. For tech support, consider that HF to -32 who scored 50, won by
48 and allowed 13 or less, are 66-28 ATS, including 48-13 ATS if they
outrushed their previous foe by 175+.

------------------------------------------------------------------------



3*Reality vs. Perception
by Joe Gavazzi



Every week, I select three games that I feel go "against the grain" of
public perception.

Maryland (+7) over W. VIRGINIA by 1

Perception: W. Virginia will get their double revenge from last year
(quadruple revenge for Rodriguez vs. Friedgen) for a 34-7 loss last
September and 41-7 in the Gator Bowl. They are now equipped to do so with
a 15-9 edge in returning starters in what is deemed to be the best
Mountaineer team in the Rodriguez era (2-0 SU ATS) and the worst team in
the Friedgen era (0-2 ATS).

Reality: In the early 80''s I created a concept called "DIA-DIA," when
College rivalries truly meant something. It was a highly successful way to
isolate rivalry underdogs who had dominated their opposition in recent
years. In other words, "DOGS IN ACTION - DO IT AGAIN." The combined score
of the four meetings between these two has been 155-51 or an average of
39-13. With the extra value created by the teams'' dichotomous ATS starts,
I expect this dog in action to do it again. Refer to All Systems Go for
our 50-20 ATS angle for Game 3 dogs vs. teams who began 2-0 SU ATS as
favorite.

N. Illinois (+2-) over IOWA STATE by 7

Perception: Iowa State is among the most improved defensive teams in the
country, following their disasterous 2003 season in which they went 2-10
SU, 1-10 ATS, allowing 36 ppg. In two games to date , they shutout N.
Iowa, 23-0, and covered easily against rival Iowa, 17-10, as +23.
Northern, the public perceives, is a major notch down, starting 0-2 SU,
without RB Turner and senior QB Haldi (out with a stress fracture in his
foot). Cyclones should blow them away.

Reality: Iowa State is indeed improved but not to the point the linemaker
and public consider. N. Illinois is the team who remains underrated. In
Week 1 they took an avenging Maryland team to the limit, losing 20-23 as
+17. Last week, their 23-22 win vs. SIU was against DIV 1-AA''s best. In
the process, RB Harris is averaging 5.1 ypr and QB play has been solid.
This line would have been NIU -10 in the opening week. On Saturday, it''s
NIU by a "T.D."

Ohio State (-1-) over NC STATE by 10

Perception: The Wolfpack have barely missed a beat without QB Rivers as
they returned 19 starters to what many consider to be Amato''s best team
ever. Playing with triple overtime, 44-48 revenge from LY and falling into
70% "rested momentum home dog" situations following their 42-0 opening day
win vs. Richmond (who?), they will easily get a victory vs. an Ohio State
team returning just 9 starters and taking a new QB on the road for the
first time.

Reality: There''s clearly little, if any, dropoff in Ohio State "D" who
has allowed balanced, explosive and experienced offenses of Cincinnati and
Marshall to combine for just 27 points. Though QB Zwick is still learning,
this could well be Tressel''s best offense at Ohio State. And what''s to
say that new Wolfpack QB Davis will be a quality performer in his first
major contest? Key stat: Ohio State wins games. They''re 25-2 SU L2Y and
are 16-5 SU in games decided by 7 or less points in the Tressel era. Maybe
that''s because they have the best field goal kicker in the country.

Ball St
Missouri ?26


This game set?s up well for Head Coach Gary Pinkel?s Missouri Tigers. They blew a lead against a very stubborn Troy St. Team as a double digit favorite in their last game and not only failed to cover but lost straight up. This will be the 3rd straight meeting for these teams and Missouri is 2-0 ATS and won very easily last year as a double-digit away favorite 35-7. Ball St. is coming off a dismal performance against Purdue and will find no compassion here with a Missouri Team that will be focused and wanting to show the country that they are better than their last performance against Troy St. I look for Brad Smith, Nash and the rest of this Missouri offense to have their way with a very young and inexperienced Ball St. Defense that is suffering from the trials of playing major college football on the road. The Ball St. defense has averaged giving up 45+ points a game their last 8 nonconference road games. Also Missouri is 6-2 ATS as Double Digit Home Favorites their last 8 and I look for this team to add to that Ball St. history of losing and losing big in these situations. My Blowout of the Week is MISSOURI!!

5* MISSOURI -26

===============================

Tom Scott
PLAY OF THE WEEK

3* MISSOURI over Ball State by 40

I called Missouri the most underachieving team in the history of college football and I meant it. But this is a team the Tigers will take behind the woodshed and administer to. Ball State is 0-29 SU on the road against BCS teams since 1980 (In fact, the Testicles have NEVER beaten a BCS team anywhere - 0-2 at home) scoring a mere 11 points per game in those 31 losses Missouri is 21-2 to the number in its last 23 games where the opponent was held to less than 15 points. The Tigers were humiliated on national TV ten days ago and have been itching to get back on the field. Injury depleted Ball State doesn't have the defensive horses to stop Brad Smith and company here.
