Great shot for the Boilers tonight, as they get a rare night affair with hated conference rival Ohio State tonight, and the G-Man will be all over the points they are giving to this live home dog!
QB Painter has thrown 18 touchdown passes already this season in pacing the Boilermakers to a 5-0 mark. Better still is the fact he has thrown just 3 picks in through 5 games, and as good as the Buckeyes defense is, I just don't see this kid getting rattled at home.
Ohio State's offense is still a work in progress so I doubt they will be able to pull away on the road in this spot. Keep in mind this is State's 2nd night road game in a row, and 3rd roadie overall the last 4 weeks. Look for the road to finally catch up to Jim Tressel's bunch in West Lafayette this evening.
Take the Boilermakers plus the points.
20 DIMER - BOWLING GREEN FALCONS (12pm)
Case of an inflated price today in Chestnut Hill, as there is no way Boston College will take Bowling Green as serious as they should and the Falcons will be inside of this number the whole way.
Boston College does have Notre Dame on deck, and they will be looking ahead to wiping up the Irish in the Catohlic School-deluxe battle, thus leaving the dangerous Falcons hanging around.
Bowling Green has been able to cover their last 3 games played against BCS schools, and they have also been able to cover 7 of their last 8 catching double s.
The Eagles on the other hand are just 1-1 this year when laying 10-or-more, 3-4-1 in that spot their last 8.
Take the points!
10 DIMER - OKLAHOMA SOONERS
Red River Shootout loses some luster as both schools took it on the chin last week. The G-Man looks for the Sooners to rebound in this one, as Texas QB McCoy is nicked up once again, and is off a 4 interception outing in the Longhorns loss to Kansas State.
Texas has won and covered the last 2 meetings in Dallas, but it was OU that was on a 5 game SU and ATS roll prior to the 'Horns little series spurt. Look for the better balanced Sooners to snap the 2-game series skid today.
Oklahoma is a profitable 16-5-1 against the spread their last 21 lined games, and today they up that mark!
10 DIMER - TEXAS A&M AGGIES
Both schools' coaches have been in the spotlight lately, but I believe the "home cooking" is going to treat Coach Franchione and the Aggies A-OK in tonight's game at College Station.
The Cowboys are poor-travelers, as they have failed 9 of their last 11 when dressed as the visitor. They have also lost the 3 both straight up and against the spread in this rivalry.
Expect that skid to hit 4 in a row, as A&M is on a 14-5-1 home spread run, and they looked very solid in winning and covering last week against Baylor, holding the ball for some 45 minutes of the 60 minute game!

Matty O'Shea | MLB RunLine Double-Dime Bet
908 COL -1.5 (+125) BetUS vs 907 PHI
Analysis: Philadelphia sends ageless wonder Jamie Moyer (14-12, 5.01 ERA) to the mound on the brink of elimination and will realize a weak pitching staff is what kept them from putting up a better fight here against the Rockies. This could very well be Moyer's last start, and he is winless during his career vs. Colorado with an 0-4 mark and 5.54 ERA. He was on the losing end of a 6-3 loss at Coors Field back on July 7th, surrendering four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. Moyer has gone more than six innings just once in his last nine starts, so that means we'll likely see the pathetic Phillies bullpen once again. That bodes well for the Rockies and young Ubaldo Jimenez (4-4, 4.28), who is coming off a brilliant start against Arizona last Sunday. Jimenez allowed just one hit and one run to the Diamondbacks in 6 1/3 innings with four walks and a career-high 10 strikeouts in a 4-3 victory. Colorado's previous six wins this season with Jimenez on the mound were all decided by two runs or more (and five of those were by at least three), so I'm betting that the Rockies close out the Phillies by covering the runline as my Double Dime MLB Value Play O' the Day.
Matty O'Shea | MLB Total Single-Dime Bet
906 CHC / 905 ARI Over 9.5 BetUS
Analysis: It's do or die for the Cubs back home at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, and I expect their bats will finally come alive against Arizona's Livan Hernandez in Game 3. Hernandez was just 4-8 on the road during the regular season with a 5.19 ERA, and he gave up 20 hits and seven runs in his last two starts overall totaling just 10 innings. Chicago's Rich Hill saw his last three home starts all go OVER the total thanks to solid run support, as his teammates averaged 7.3 runs in winning those games by a combined six runs. The OVER is also 7-2 in Chicago's last nine playoff games, so I'll bet it here as my Single Dime MLB Total O' the Day.
Matty O'Shea | CFB MoneyLine
dime bet386 Purdue (+240) BetUS vs 385 Ohio St.
Analysis: Our formula for success in winning four straight Underdog Plays O' the Week has been to take a team playing one of its biggest games of the season and trying to make a statement. All four of those dog plays have won straight-up, and three have been at home, which is our situation yet again here with Purdue. The Boilermakers have won two of the last three home meetings with Ohio State, and the other sandwiched in between was a tough 10-6 loss. As good as the Buckeyes have played, this is their first serious test of the season in the second of back-to-back road games after winning 30-7 at Minnesota last Saturday. Purdue almost seemed to be looking ahead to this Big Ten home opener after going up on Notre Dame 23-0 at halftime last Saturday in an eventual 33-19 victory. The Boilermakers clearly know what's at stake, as this is their biggest game in years with the opportunity to get over the hump and finally become a Big Ten power. They certainly have the talent, led by QB Curtis Painter, who is the league's top passer with 18 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Painter can jump into the Heisman Trophy race with a big performance against one of the top defenses in the country. I'm betting he does, so I'm taking Purdue to upset Ohio State with a straight-up home win as my Single Dime NCAA Football Underdog Play O' the Week.

triple-dime bet352 Clemson -5.5 (-110) BetUS vs 351 Virginia Tech
Analysis:
I bet on Virginia Tech three weeks ago against Ohio since I believed the Hokies would be a much better team offensively with true freshman QB Tyrod Taylor running the show. However, Taylor has simply not done the job so far as I expected and will be starting his first road game in a hostile environment at Clemson. We all saw how Florida State handled a similar situation in the season opener, falling behind 24-3 at "Death Valley" en route to a 24-18 loss. Taylor performed poorly in a 17-10 home win over North Carolina last week, rushing 11 times for 11 yards and throwing for just 66 yards. He is also battling a groin injury that has limited him in practice and now has to face a fired up Tigers squad coming off a tough 13-3 road loss at Georgia Tech. The Hokies have not played a road game since getting routed 48-7 at LSU back on September 8th. While the final result won't be as lopsided this time for Virginia Tech, I still expect Clemson to break a four-game series losing streak and win this one by double s as my Triple Dime Biggest NCAA Football Bet O' the Week.

double-dime bet377 Georgia Tech -3.5 (-110) Bodog vs 378 Maryland
Analysis: Both teams pulled Upsets last week but one was earned and one was tainted. Maryland upset Rutgers last week but feeling here is they caught Rutgers looking ahead to their Big Prime Time Revenge Game against Cincinnati. Georgia Tech on the other hand rode their swarming Defense to a huge victory upsetting highly ranked Clemson. Maryland will not be able to run the ball as Georgia Tech is giving up just 60 yards per game on the ground this year. Once Maryland is forced to throw this one is Over. Take GEORGIA TECH as Marco's High Noon Conference Clash and make them a DOUBLE DIME PLAY

Larry Ness' 20* Conference GOY (PERFECT 4-0 in CFB '07 with 20* plays!)-Saturday
My 20* play is on Rutgers at 8:00 ET. Last year, with Rutgers ranked in the top-10 (No. 7) for the first time in school history and one of just four unbeatens remaining in CFB at 9-0, the Scarlet Knights lost at Cincinnati, 30-11! In fact, that win at Nippert Stadium was the start of Cincy's current eight-game winning streak! The Bearcats' convincing 52-23 win at San Diego St last Saturday, improved their record to 5-0 this year, marking their best start since beginning the 1954 campaign with eight wins. Meanwhile, Rutgers lost to Maryland last Saturday, 34-24 (as huge favorites!). Head coach Brian Kelly (via Div II Grand Valley State and Central Michigan) has brought a new wide-open attack to the offense, with both Ben Mauck (Wake transfer) and LY's starter Grutza, thriving. Mauck (70.0% / 9-2 ratio) is back in the starting role and Cincy's running game averages 193.0 YPG (4.6 per), giving the team excellent balance. The Cincy D allows just 10.6 PPG (4th) but the key has been the Bearcats' plus-14 turnover ratio (21 takeaways!). Rutgers has a very good D itself (276.0 YPG / 15.3 PPG) plus playmakers on offense led by Heisman Trophy candidate, RB Ray Rice (132.0 YPG / 5.6 YPC / 10 TDs). QB Mike Teel has made great strides TY, completing 62.4% with a 10-2 ratio (55.4% and a 12-13 ratio in '06), throwing to WRs Underwood (21.5 per / 4 TDs) and Britt (23.3 per / 3 TDs). Rutgers has two ways to go here. The team will either let LW's loss carry over or the Scarlet Knights will bounce back. I like what Greg Schiano has built here and I like that he stayed, when everyone expected him "to go," after LY's 11-2 season. Cincy is the perfect opponent to get Rutgers' season back on track. Revenge is a huge motivator and the Bearcats' 5-0 record has been built on a very weak schedule plus that ridiculous TO margin of plus-14. This year, Cincy has the target on its back, not Rutgers. While Rutgers was off on September 22 and lost at home to Maryland last week. the Bearcats are playing for the SIXTH straight week plus the Bearcats are coming back from their first visit to California in 49 years! Big East GOY 20* Rutgers.
