Friday's winners ...
10 Dime: LSU (minus the points vs. Arkansas)
5 Dime: COLORADO (plus the points vs. Nebaska)
LSU
I’ve been bagging on LSU all season long, a team that’s been grossly overrated from the very second the 2007 season kicked off. And my anti-LSU bias has resulted in profitable results for yours truly, as I’ve gone against the Tigers several times and come out a winner.. All that said, for the first time this year, LSU is finally undervalued. And yes, I’m very much aware that I’m calling a team that’s 3-4 SU and 1-6 ATS in its last seven games undervalued. How can I say that? Easy – LSU simply is a much better, much more experienced, much more complete and much more physical team than Arkansas.
In the end, that physicality will be the difference today, as the Tigers are simply much bigger and much stronger than Arkansas. Put it this way: The Razorbacks are averaging just 21.1 points and 371 total yards per game while giving up 31.3 points and 381.6 total yards per game. Not only that, but Arkansas is just 1-3 SU and ATS in their last four home games, including 0-3 SU and ATS against superior SEC foes in Alabama (49-14), Florida (38-7) and Mississippi (23-21).
Bottom line: LSU is WAY overdue for a blowout win, and the Tigers will get it here against Arkansas, which has no bowl hopes and can’t wait for the season to end.

Game: UTEP Miners @ East Carolina Pirates - Friday November 28, 2008 1:00 pm
Pick: 3 unit(s) ATS: UTEP Miners +5 (-110) (Normal)
UTEP folks has one of the top 40 best offenses in the nation. And sometimes, a good offense does beat a good defense. Remember, UTEP los to East Carolina in overtime last year and this team undoubtedly remembers that. Plus, UTEP comes off a frustrating loss to Houston 37-42 and they were 18 points dogs in that game. In fact, this team has been playing better over the last three weeks consistently. They covered against SMU as -13.5 point favorites and beat UL on the road outright as 13.5 dogs. Look for UTEP to get some revenge from their overtime loss last year Trevor Vittatoe of UTEP is no joke having thrown for 31 touchdowns and 6 interceptions this year. Sometimes, a good offense does indeed defeat a good defense as East Carolina is ranked top 40 on defense but around top 100 with respect to their offense. I believe UTEP wins this baby outright.

4 Unit Play.Take UTEP Miners over East Carolina Pirates
This choice is more about going against the Pirates then it is going with the Miners. ECU started the season out with a big winner over Virginia Tech and West Virginia but has since regressed with injuries playing a major role in their demise. QB Vittatoe has been on a rear tear of late and this one means more for UTEP, as they try and become bowl eligible. Look for Coach Price to have some trick plays in what should be a shootout. Points are a bonus, as I feel the Miners win straight-up. El Paso 35, East Carolina 28.
5 Unit Play. Take Temple Owls -2 over Akron Zips
We started the season out with Temple as our top pick for two straight weeks and now we will finish out their regular season with the same choice. Although the Owls have won only four games this season, they have been very competitive in every outing except Penn State. The return of QB Dimichele has helped them and he played outstanding last week. He threw for six touchdowns and a career high 370 against Eastern Michigan. Temple has as much talent as anyone in the MAC except Ball State and look for Coach Golden to finish out the regular season with back-2-back wins. The seniors go out with a victory at home. Temple 41, Akron 30.
