30 Dime - Oklahoma ? First, we have the Sooners, who return to the scene of last year's infamous game with Boise State, which for 366 days now have dominated the highlight-reels with its Statue of Liberty play, and Ian Johnson's engagement proposal to his cheerleader-chick.
Then there's the fact West Virginia comes in off its season-ending loss to Pittsburgh, a setback that cost the Mountaineers a spot in the BCS Title game. Some say that's a good thing for WVU, which will be motivated to win; others say it's bad, as the Mountaineers showed their vulnerability.
Most notably, the departure of Rich Rodriguez for Michigan has stolen the headlines for this one, and everyone has to be wondering how the Mountaineers will do without him on the sidelines, as associate head coach Bill Stewart will be the interim coach for this one.
So where do we go from here, when these two teams are evenly matched, ranking Nos. 17 and 18 in total offense and Nos. 7 and 9 in scoring defense? That's the simplest answer out there: While West Virginia relies on a rushing game that averages 292.9 yards a game to rank fourth nationally, Oklahoma has the balanced attack you need for a game like this. Think about USC last night ? we saw a balanced attack and we saw destruction.
And the fact Oklahoma gives up only 91.9 yards rushing, we're riding a team that has the ability to slow West Virginia's rushing attack. And yes, before you start sending emails in about the three defensive starters that were missing today, I know all about it! But the Sooners have known about two of them for the past month, and will come in prepared to play without them.
This is no ordinary Sooners team ending their season today, it's more so a squad that is beginning their quest for a National Championship run next season. Yep, you heard it here first, Oklahoma is beginning its quest for the BCS Title tonight. And thanks thanks to a wealth of returning talent, a convincing Sooner victory over West Virginia will serve as a prelude for a run at an eighth national championship next season.
So while there's an argument by some Oklahoma should have received consideration into next Monday's National Championship game, along with USC and Georgia, I am telling you if you want to see a preview of one half of the 2009 BCS Title Game, watch these Sooners closely.
5 Dime ? Hornets - While my colleague Chris Jordan is using this as a free play, I know much better that this is premium-play worthy tonight, as we side with a team looking to get back on track after seeing its five-game winning streak end against Toronto on Monday night. There's always going to be an off night for players playing well and teams doing the same, so after having double-doubles in three consecutive games, the Hornets' Tyson Chandler finished with five points and six rebounds against the Raptors. Nevertheless, New Orleans comes in with an 11-5 road mark, and having won seven of 12 against the Western Conference. Play the road warrior in this one.
5 Dime ? Indiana ? In the Big 10 opener for both teams, we side with the much-better Hoosiers, who have had a terrific preseason, running off 11 wins in 12 games. Indiana has won seven straight and comes in off a 38-point drubbing over Chicago State this past Saturday, and should be able to keep up the hot streak from the field in this one tonight. But forget about the Hoosiers for a minute, Iowa has been quite disappointing this year, despite a 7-6 mark. The Hawkeyes, who are 2-7 ATS on the season, are now 3-6 SU in their last nine. The visitor in this Big 10 clash is 10-4 ATS the last 14 times these two have met, so we'll play the Hoosiers here.

John Ryan's 7* Fiesta Bowl Monster; 11-2-1 ATS run
7* - West Virginia
Ai Simulator 7* graded play on West Virginia ? Based on the Simulator projections the wrong team is favored. WVU has an 86% probability that they will lose this game by 7 or fewer points and a 60% probability that they may win the game. The dominant theme is that there is a 92% probability that WVU will score 28 or more points based on the AiS. Note that Oklahoma is 6-42 ATS when they allow 28 or more points since 1992. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 29-8 ATS since 1992. Play on dogs of 3.5 to 10 points off an upset loss as a double digit home favorite and the game occurring in the second half of the season. Here is a second system that has gone 48-16 ATS since 1992 for 75% since 1992. Play on dogs of 3.5 to 10 points that are off an upset loss to a conference rival as a favorite of 10 or more and after the first month of the season. Here is a third system that has gone 41-12 ATS for 77% since 1996. Play against neutral field favorites in a non-conference game between two teams from major division 1-A conferences and with an inexperienced QB as starter. I am not in the least concerned about the coaching transition at WVU. If anything it can be motivating and all you need to do is look at how well Michigan played yesterday. That game will set a great example for a WVU team that blew their easiest chance to ever play in a National Title game when they lost to Pittsburgh. WVU is in a great role knowing that they are 6-0 ATS after gaining 125 or less passing yards in 3 straight games over the last 3 seasons. The loss to Pitt also puts them into a great role. They are 8-1 ATS in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread over the last 3 seasons. Oklahoma defense has played extremely well, but this too puts them into a poor role. HC Stoops is just 12-23 ATS after allowing 17 points or less in 2 straight games as the coach of Oklahoma. Last, I would recommend an optional money line wager not to exceed 2.5* units. Current money lines are in the neighborhood of +265. Also, the WVU passing attack may be a big storyline tonight and opens up another optional first half wager not to exceed 2* units. The AiS projects an 88% probability that they will gain at least 150 passing yards. Note that WVU is 15-3 against the 1rst half line in road games when they gain 150 to 200 net passing yards since 1992. WVU is also 14-2 against the 1rst half line after gaining 125 or less passing yards in 2 straight games since 1992. Oklahoma is 2-11 against the 1rst half line in road games after having won 4 out of their last 5 games since 1992. Take West Virginia.
