When Gene Chizik leads his troops into Starkville tonight he will do so knowing he is a brutal 1-14 SU in road games as a college football head coach. To make matters worse for Auburn backers, the Tigers are just 3-7 ATS as conference road favorites of less than seven points and 1-7 ATS away between home games. That’s good news for Mississippi State head man Dan Mullen who is eager to avenge last season’s 49-24 loss at Auburn. Mullen’s 3-1 ATS mark as a conference host is certainly noteworthy but it's our database that seals the deal as it notes that home dogs off a win of 40 or more points are 26-7-1 ATS versus a foe off a win in which they scored more than 36 points, including 12-0 ATS if the home is undefeated and did not cover the spread by 30 or more points in its previous game. You know what to do here. We recommend a 3-unit play on Mississippi State.

Oddsmakers aren’t adjusting fast enough to some of these new spread offenses in the SEC. Last season totals were too low, and this total is way too low for these two teams. Auburn is going to be a very high scoring team this season, but they score too fast for their defense to get rest. Auburn gave up 26 points last week to Arkansas State, and I don’t expect them to shutdown a Mississippi State team that put up 49 points against Memphis last week. The Bulldogs have a full season in Dan Mullen’s spread offense after last season, and they appear much more comfortable in it now. They have inexperience at quarterback, but it shouldn’t matter too much because of the good offensive line they have returning. I also expect the Bulldogs offense to be aided by playing this game at home. Look for this game to fly over the total.

This is the Astros first home game back following a successful road trip that saw the team go 4-2 against lousy Cubs and D'backs teams. Believe it or not, but a Houston team that has ong been out of playoff contention has won 13 of its last 17 and its 30-20 mark since the All-Star Break is third best in the National League! Basically, the pressure is off and the team is playing loose. The Dodgers, meanwhile, have completely fallen apart in the wake of the Manny Ramirez trade. They've lost eight of ten, including five straight. Over the last seven games, the offense has been just abysmal (1.7 runs per game). They've plated just three runners in the last four games. Houston has made a fortune off lefties this year (23-14, +$1575) and the Dodgers Ted Lilly carries in a 6.23 ERA over his last three starts. Houston is our MLB Underdog Shocker.
