Toronto Maple Leafs +1.5
I feel that the Leafs have an excellent shot at winning this game. However, given their tendency to play close games at home, I feel that playing them at +1.5 goals is the way to go. Naturally, we will pay a steep price for the extra +1.5 goals. That said, the price on the Leafs at +1.5 is more reasonable than the price on any other home team, at +1.5, currently on tonight's busy NHL board. The Canucks did win big at Ottawa on Thursday. They're still below .500 on the road though. They're now 31-42 (-16.2) vs. the moneyline the past 2+ seasons, when playing a road game with an O/U line of 5.5. The Canucks have played at Toronto just five times since 2003. Two of those games were decided by a single goal and another finished in a tie. The Leafs are currently in the midst of a losing streak. While that's not necessarily a good thing, it should make them "desperate" for a victory tonight and it should ensure a maximum effort. That's particularly true as they know that the entire national (Canadian) audience will be watching the game on TV. Despite their current skid, the Leafs are still 10-9 their last 19 home games. A look at the last 13 of those finds that 12 of them were decided by two goals or less - the other was a 5-1 victory. In fact, the Leafs haven't lost a home game by more than two goals since last March. Each of the Leafs last two games here resulted in 1-goal losses, both by identical 3-2 scores. The last one was particularly painful as they gave up the tying goal late and lost in a shootout. Looking back further and we find that 12 of the last last 19 games here at Toronto were decided by one goal. If one had been getting +1.5 with the Leafs in all those games, Toronto would have a record of 16-3. That includes a 5-1 mark their last six here. (That's a whole lot better than 1-5, which is their record vs. the moneyline their last six here.) I expect the Leafs to pad those "puck-line" stats here.

BLOCKBUSTER GAME OF THE MONTH!
OHIO STATE
I'm laying the points with Ohio State on Saturday. Since losing to a good Wisconsin team, the Buckeyes have been simply "nasty" crushing Purdue and Minnesota with a "take no prisoners" approach. Following a bye week, I expect Ohio State to resume that mindset when they host Penn State. The Nittany Lions have faced just two tough opponents away from Happy Valley. Both teams, Alabama & Iowa, completely shut down the PSU offense. Penn State scored just a FG in both games. In fact, they lost by identical scores of 24-3. The offense averaged just 292 yards per game in the losses on just 4.6 yards per play. They rushed for only 90.5 yards on 3.35 yards per carry. And the passing game was non-existant. PSU hit just 50% of their attempts with no TDs, four INTs, and two sacks. I have news for Penn State. Ohio State's third ranked defense is even better. The Buckeyes are better at putting pressure on opposing QBs, allow a low 29% third down conversion rate, and actually hold their opponents to just 233.8 yards per game! Then there's the talented Ohio State offense, led by one of the best dual threat QBs in the nation in Terrelle Pryor, who is the nations 5th most effecient passer. Ohio State's offense ranks 17th overall, and they average 42 ppg. Toss in the fact that Ohio State is still playing for a Rose Bowl berth and Penn State is going to be in for a long afternoon, as far as I'm concerned. Penn State fought back from a 21-7 halftime deficit last week at home to beat Northwestern and get Joe Paterno his 400th win. But they celebrated like they just won a championship and I believe they're going to have a tough time gaining back the same emotion on the road. Penn State has struggled away from home as a big dog, going 2-8 ATS when getting more than 10 points. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes are on a 5-0 ATS run as a home fave of more than 10. The Buckeyes are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 at home. And finally, home faves off a win of at least 10 points over a conference rival, are 45-15 ATS against an opponent off three straight wins against conference opponents. The matchups and angles are all on one side...and so am I. I'm laying the points with Ohio State, my Blockbuster.

PAC 10 GAME OF THE YEAR
STANFORD
The 7th-ranked Stanford Cardinal (9-1) continue their march towards a prime BCS bowl bid as they take on Arizona St. (4-5) on the road Saturday evening at Sun Devil Stadium. Last week's results could not have been more different for these two squads as the Cardinal stomped a solid Arizona club in Tucson, 42-17, while ASU was dropping a heartbreaking decision at USC, 34-33, their 5th setback in 7 outings since opening the year with wins over small time foes Northern Arizona and Portland St.. Stanford possesses advantages on both offense and defense in this matchup, owning the 13th-ranked "O" (472 ypg) and the 39th-ranked "D" (342 ypg) while the Sun Devils check in at 27th (428 ypg) and 50th (350 ypg). The Cardinal has AVERAGED 42.3 ppg, while never scoring less than 31 points. It's doubtful a Sun Devil offense, that only scored 17 points vs California, 19 vs Wisconsin and 24 against Washington, can keep pace with Luck and Company. The visitor's attack is led by the potential No. 1 pick in the NFL draft in 2011.....quarterback Andrew Luck (67.8%, 22-6 td/int ratio) while the host is guided by Steven Threet (62.2%, 17-15). Stanford's strength on defense is its pass rush that's garnered 21 sacks on the year and that pressure figures to cause Threet to add to his ridiculously high pick count. The Cardinal crushed the Sun Devils last season, 33-14, piling up huge advantages in first downs (27-15) and total yards (473-300) and are the superior squad again this year. Play Stanford
