Game: Philadelphia Flyers at Colorado Avalanche Oct 16 2008 9:05PM
Prediction: over
Reason: Both teams have played the over in 2 of their 3 games thus far thanks to their poor defensive play. The Avalanche have allowed 4.5 goals/game in their 3 games so far this season. On the other side the Flyers have allowed 4 goals/game in that same span. The over is a profitable 7-1-1 in Colorado's last 9 home games. Both team's have some decent goal scoreres and they both will capitalize tonight. Look for plenty of goals tonight. Play the Over.

5 units-Nc State (+11) over Florida State
7:30 PM -- Carter-Finley Stadium
N.C. State (2-4) is getting healthy again and gets back three defensive players, including two starters for this game. This is not to suggest the Wolf Pack can beat Florida State (4-1) but a healthy defense figures to slowdown the one thing FSU does well, and that is to run the football. It is obvious the Seminoles have shown a preference for running the football and that is what I believe they will do here and that alone is going to slowdown the scoring. N.C. State comes into this off a bye and appears ready to fire its best shot. Considering all the circumstances, the number is simply too high.

Take #304 TCU (+1) over BYU (8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 16)
We?re playing the correct end of a reverse line movement in this game. Over 80 percent of the action in this game has gone on the Cougars, yet the line is trending toward the home dogs with TCU. Thursday night games this year have given us a slew of upsets and home teams have still won at over a 60-percent rate this fall in these primetime college matchups. The TCU defense is the real deal. They held their last opponent to -49 RUSHING YARDS IN THE SECOND HALF! That type of power up front should be able to slow down Max Hall and Co. TCU is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games overall and 38-16 ATS in their last 54 home games.

Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox u9.0 (-120)
Thu Oct 16 '08 8:05p
The Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox have now gone Over in three straight games, but the only Under in this series came in Game 1 with Daisuke Matsuzaka on the mound for Boston, and we look for Dice-K to continue that dominance here, keying the Under.
Matsuzaka was brilliant in the series opener, tossing seven scoreless innings while allowing just four hits with nine strikeouts. He has now allowed three runs or less in all four of his starts vs. Tampa Bay this season, allowing a total of only 17 hits in 22 innings with an impressive 26 strikeouts.
Do not forget that Dice-K is now 19-3 in the playoffs and regular season combined with a fantastic 2.86 ERA, and he has now allowed three earned runs or less in eight consecutive starts. We look for him to come up big as the Red Sox try to fight off elimination here.
Now Scott Kazmir has been very inconsistent for the Rays over the last month, but we actually look for the good Kazmir to show up tonight. After all, the Rays are doing everything well right now, so why should tonight be any different?
Besides, the troubles that Kazmir has had vs. the Red Sox have oddly all come at home, as he has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last four starts at Fenway Park. Throw in the fine Tampa Bay bullpen and look for a safe Under in Game 5.
