(963) CHW White Sox
(964) TB Rays
Take "(963) CHW White Sox"
Game 2: Chicago has a terrific offense, 5th in the AL in runs scored, and Tampa Bay is a great, indoor, hitter's park. The White Sox go with veteran lefty Mark Buehrle, who knows about big games having been an anchor on their 2005 World Series championship team. The team is 8-3 his last 11 starts. One of those was a 6-5 win over Tampa Bay, allowing 2 earned runs in 6+ innings. He fanned 5 and walked just 2. Rays lefty Scott Kazmir doesn't come in on a roll, at 1-2 his last 3 starts, giving up 13 runs in 14 innings! He allowed 7 walks in those 13 innings, a terrible ratio. He went 1-1 with an 8.36 ERA in his last three starts. The Sox enter October with Jim Thome, Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko all producing. After almost blowing a 15-game division lead in 2005, the Sox played free and easy in the postseason. This is the same scenario as they squeezed into the playoffs. They caught a huge break by advancing to the AL series and are a dangerous team when they're counted out too soon. Play the White Sox.

HONDO
October 3, 2008
Hondo shined with the Rays yesterday for his first playoff victory, but gave it right back and then some with the brutal Brewers last night, leaving him with 705 brutons in the account.
Tonight, he's calling the 'dog in St. Pete - 10 units on burly Mark and the Chisox.

(965) BOS Red Sox
(966) LA Angels
Take "(965) BOS Red Sox"
Did the Cubs look just a little tight Thursday night against the Dodgers? If you read my free play analysis, that's exactly what I predicted and I suspect the same thing could take place in Game Two between the Red Sox and Angels. Despite dominating the regular season series this year, the Halos have a disastrous playoff history with the Bosox, and I have to believe the opening game blunders will be in their heads here. Daisuke Matsuzaka never makes it look easy, but he's got an amazing record and he just keeps winning both home and away. I've got to tab the Red Sox to pick up another win.

Cajun-Sports CFB Executive Report- Friday
CFB: 9-1 L10
FRIDAY 10/03/2008
8:00 PM EDT
1 STAR SELECTION (Rated 1-6 Units)
UTAH STATE +29 over BYU
The Cougars are in the AP's top-10 for the first time since the 2001 season, and will now face the Aggies in an in-state rivalry contest on Friday.
BYU is actually one of two Mountain West Conference programs among the Top-25, with Utah at #15 and barely surviving Thursday night?s tussle with Oregon State. The Cougars earned their lofty position in the polls by posting consecutive shutouts over UCLA and most recently, Wyoming. BYU has put together the nation's longest winning streak at 14 games, which isn?t likely to be threatened by Utah State.
The Aggies dropped three in a row to begin 2008, falling to Oregon and Utah before picking up its first win of the season, a 42-17 drubbing against Idaho at home.
There?s little question that BYU has the superior talent on both sides of the ball, but we find asking them to win this game by 30+ points a bit much.
For starters, the Cougars have won their last 2 trips to Logan by a combined 4 points, failing to cover the spread by more than 2 TDs in both games.
As for the extra time off, they are more likely to have their momentum stalled, as they are 0-5 ATS on the road with 7+ days rest and qualify for an NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM that states:
From Game 3 on, play AGAINST an undefeated non-Saturday road favorite of 11+ points with 7+ days rest.
Such teams are 0-12 ATS all-time failing to cover the spread by nearly 15 ppg on average! The most recent example was USC?s shocking loss at Oregon State just last week.
As for BYU?s back-to-back defensive clampdowns, it actually qualifies them for another POWER SYSTEM that says:
Play AGAINST a team (not an underdog of more than 11 points) with 9+ days rest off allowing less than 6 points in its last 2 games combined.
Despite the extra time off, these teams went 0-11 ATS since 1982, failing to cover the spread by nearly 13 ppg.
Meanwhile, Utah State should certainly benefit from their blowout victory over Idaho last time out. As yet another NCAA Football POWER SYSTEM reveals, following a big confidence-building victory, home underdogs have done very well in recent seasons in highlighted non-Saturday games. Specifically:
Play ON a non-Saturday home underdog off a SU win of 19+ points vs. an opponent not off a conference road favorite SU win.
Just since 2006, these teams are 11-0 ATS, crushing the spread by more than 15 ppg on average. It?s already 3-0 ATS this season with home dogs Vanderbilt, Louisville, and Oregon State and winning outright and each beating the spread by at least 2 TDs.
It?s hard to imagine the Cougars having such a meltdown here, but they are likely to come out a bit flat and allow the Aggies to hang around for a spread cover.

VEGAS EXPERTS
BYU at Utah State
Friday, October 3rd, 8:00 PM ET
For BYU to have any chance to cover this monster number, you have to be think Over right? Over the last nine meetings, these two in-state rivals (play for the "Beehive Boot") have combined to average 63 PPG. Utah State has the defense you look for when playing Overs as the Aggies are surrendering 42 points per contest. The BYU offense is averaging 43 points per contest. Simple math says those numbers add up to 25 points above tonight's posted number.
