Ryan's 7* CFB MONSTER release
Ryan won his last RARE7* MONSTER side with UNC as they covered easily against SC. Ryan’s 5* plays have hit 67% ATS L3 seasons and the 7* plays are even stronger.
Guaranteed Pick: John Ryan
Game: Nevada at New Mexico St. Nov 2 2007 8:00PM
Prediction: New Mexico St.
Reason: Ai Simulator 7* graded play on New Mexico State - AiS shows an 86% probability that NMST will lose this game by 6 or fewer points. As a team, the Wolf Pack is averaging 37.0 points a game and 491.0 yards of total offense. However, the Nevada defense for the Wolf Pack this season has been allowing 36.5 points a game and 405.9 yards of total offense. So, it stands to reason that NMST will rush the ball aggressively and this in turn will set up their passing attack where they enjoy numerous matchup advantages. I would not be surprised to see NMST get 400+ yards passing in this game and that will be based on being able to run the ball occasionally on 1st and 10. Just enough, say 3.0 YPC, to open up the passing attack that will be in a vulnerable cover 2 or even more vulnerable man coverage. Senior wide receiver Derek Dubois put together one of his best all around games for the Aggies this past weekend at Hawai’i. He finished the game with 218 all-purpose yards. His eight catches for 106 yards moved him into seventh place in receptions and eighth place in receiving yards on the career record lists with 123 receptions for 1,710 yards. Five of his catches this past Saturday went for first downs. Senior wide receiver Brandon Allen tied his career high with his six receptions for 40 yards against the Warriors last Saturday on the Islands. More importantly, the Aggies durable receiver increased his consecutive games with a catch streak to 40, the second longest active streak in the nation and he is just one game away from tying the Aggie record of 41 held by Duane Gregory from 1994-97. You will hear announcers Spillman and Sean McDonough sing their praises. I like the Aggies here and of course revenge doesn’t hurt them either.

3* graded play on the Temple Owls - OWLS have improved greatly this season and are beginning to build a more valid program in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is rich in football talent with numerous High Schools competing for Top-20 National honors. QB DiMichele has led the owls to an unimaginable perfect 3-0 month of October with wins over Northern Illinois, at Akron, and then Miami (Ohio) - all fo which they were installed as dogs. Based on the AiS projections the SU winning may not be over either as they have a 76% probability of losing this game by 7 or fewer points and a 62% probability of winning SU. So, getting down on the ML at 250 minimum for an additional 1* amount is a valid play. Temple has done well with the run having 7 straight games with at least 100 yards rushing. Miami struggles to stop the run FIVE times this season Miami has given up 250 or more yards this season.
Take Temple.

Nevada Wolf Pack (4-4) at New Mexico State Aggies (4-5)
Aggie Memorial Stadium - Las Cruces, New Mexico
Home Record: Nevada 3-1, NMSU 4-0.
Road Record: Nevada 1-3, NMSU 0-5.
Series Record: Nevada leads, 9-1.
The Wolf Pack have won nine of the previous 10 meetings versus New Mexico State. In the last meeting, Nevada beat the Aggies 48-21 on October 28, 2006, in Reno, Nev.
Both have dreadful defenses. Nevada yield 36.5 points and 406 yards per game, while the Aggies allowed 35 points and 415 yards. Should be a high scoring battle. Nevada has scored at least 45 points in seven of the 10 meetings.
Prediction: Nevada 41, New Mexico State 31
