Michael Cannon Goes 1-2 on Thursday
Michael Cannon Money Train Friday Picks:
10 Dime –
TROY
Take the points with Troy tonight when they host Oklahoma State.
Troy had two brutal road games to open the season, losing 46-26 at Arkansas and 59-31 at Florida. They went 1-1 ATS in those two games and just barely missed cashing against the Gators as a 26-point dog.
The Trojans are led by senior quarterback Omar Haugabook, who was named the Sun Belt’s Offensive Player of the Year in 2006 when he passed for 21 touchdowns and ran for five more. He has great size and can make plays with his arm and scrambling ability.
Oklahoma State may be without starting quarterback Bobby Reid, who left last week’s win over Florida Atlantic with a twisted ankle.
Running back Dantrell Savage, who ran for 820 yards and eight TDs last year, is also questionable for tonight’s game.
Troy is 14-1 SU when playing at home off a SU loss. They have also won 37 of their past 43 home games, with only three of those defeats coming by more than seven points.
Oklahoma State may be caught in a look-ahead situation here, as they have a shootout with Texas Tech next week.
Troy, on the other hand, will be fired up for their home opener on national TV.
Take the points with Troy as they battle Oklahoma State to the wire.
5 Dime –
PIRATES (With Snell and Oswalt as listed pitchers)
Take the Pirates as the large road dog tonight over the Astros.
The Bucs will hand the ball to Ian Snell tonight and I know he’s had a rocky second half of the season, but he has looked better over his last two starts.
The right-hander is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in those two starts, spanning 14 innings. The Pirates refuse to quit on the season, however, and I expect them to come into this matchup more than confident they can bring home the win.
That’s because the Pirates are 9-3 against the Astros this season and they took two out of three from Houston in Minute Maid Park the last time they played here, from Aug. 24-26.
I know Roy Oswalt is slated to start for the Astros and he’s having another dominant season, but that just gives us a better return on the Bucs.
Take the Pirates as the big road dog as they grab the win.
MARINERS (With Shields and Hernandez as listed pitchers)
Take the Mariners as the home chalk tonight over the Devil Rays.
Felix Hernandez will start for Seattle and he has won six of his last seven decisions. He hasn’t been very dominating recently, but he continues to receive a lot of run support from his teammates and this is a game they have to win if the Mariners are to stay in contention.
Tampa Bay is 1-7 in the last eight meetings in Seattle and I don’t like their chances against Hernandez.
Take Seattle as the home chalk for the win.

EMAILER
Game: Oklahoma State at Troy (Friday 9/14 8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Troy +10
Troy comes home licking their wounds after back-to-back losses on the road at Arkansas and Florida. Talk about a tough schedule! They gave up 105 total points which is why they are getting double digits at home in this one. But, they covered the spread at Arkansas and just missed covering by a field goal at Florida. They face a good Oklahoma State team here, but let's be honest. The Big 12 is not the SEC. Losing big to Arkansas and Florida on the road is going to be expected from Troy. They now get a primetime matchup with no competing football games and they get it at home. Troy won seven of their last eight games last season and returns nine defensive starters. The bigger question coming into this season was offense as they returned just five starters from that squad. The fact that they put up 26 against Arkansas and 31 against Florida should tell us that isn't so much a concern. That's 57 points vs. SEC elite! There will be no intimidation here as Troy faced tougher foes than the Cowboys in the first two games. Instead, they'll be pumped to put up a good showing for the home crowd and the national TV audience. In contrast, Oklahoma State may come in a bit overconfident after their 42-6 home trashing of Florida Atlantic. The betting public is all over Oklahoma State here (77% on the Cowboys). We'll go the other way and back the home dog getting a hefty 10 points.

Chuck Franklin Friday Plays:
1500♦ TROY
The Trojans have an excellent home record coming off a loss. Now they are coming off two road losses to powerhouse teams Arkansas and Florida, so they have even more drive to come out swinging at home. They have been SU winners at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium in 14 of their last 15 games following a loss. Being challenged by tough opponents brings up the overall level of talent and athleticism on a team, so Troy will benefit from those first two road losses. Oklahoma State is coming off a wipeout victory over a nothing program, Florida Atlantic, so shouldn’t be overly confident for this contest with the talented Sun Belt Conference Champs of Troy. Also, the Cowboys have only covered the point spread in two of their last ten road games, and have been ATS losers in every match-up as a road favorite since 2005. Side with the Trojans in their home opener.
1500♦ CUBS w/ZAMBRANO over St Louis w/Wainwright

Ron Raymond’s Week 12 CFL Picks
Montreal -1.0 vs. Edmonton 50.5
Pick: Edmonton +1.0
Ron’s Comment: Great spot to go against the Alouettes, as they are coming off an emotional win over the B.C.Lions at home last week with their second string QB.
ATSDatabase Tip: When ANY CFL Team played as a Home team -With 6 day off -Before a non division game -Before a non conference game - Coming off a 2 ATS lost; The Home Team is 14-4-1 ATS in this spot.
Forecast: Edmonton 29 Montreal 20
Saskatchewan 56.0 vs. Calgary -3.5
Pick: Saskatchewan +3.5 (5* BEST BET)
Ron’s Comment: The Roughriders have not played poorly in back to back games this season and Austin seems to be a master motivator. Look for Austin to have his team prepared this weekend vs. the Stampeders who are coming off 2 division rival wins over the Eskimos.
ATSDatabase Tip: When ANY CFL Team played as a Road team -Before a division game -Vs Division Opponent -After a non conference game - Coming off a 2 game under; The Road Team is 9-3-1 ATS in this spot.
Forecast: Saskatchewan 29 Calgary 26
Winnipeg -4.0 vs. Hamilton 51.0
Pick: UNDER 51.0
Ron’s Comment: The line is kind of funny here, as the Tiger Cats are horrible on offense, but the only team they did beat this year was Winnipeg. Under is the call here.
ATSDatabase Tip: When ANY CFL Team played as Home team as a Underdog -Vs Division Opponent -Playing on Saturday - Coming off back to back SU loss - Coming off a game scored 24 points or less; The UNDER is 11-4-1 for the Home Dog.
Forecast: Winnipeg 24 Hamilton 17
Toronto 51.0 vs. B.C. -4.5
Pick: OVER 51.0
Ron’s Comment: Too much offensive power on the field here to see this game go under the total. Great system on the OVER below.
ATSDatabase Tip: When ANY CFL Team played as Road team as a Underdog -Before a division game -Vs Non Conference Opponent - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite - Coming off a game scored 35 points or more; The OVER is 11-4-0 for the Road Dog in this role.

6-Unit Play. Take #928 Seattle (-140) over Tampa Bay (10 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14)
Note: This is our Game of the Month.
I went to bed last night with the Mariners down 5-1 to the D-Rays thinking our 1.5-Unit play had busted. I woke up and found out that YET AGAIN the Tampa Bay bullpen has blown up and allowed the Mariners to come back. It has to be getting old for the D-Rays, who appear to have mailed it in for the year.
Felix Hernandez has the type of stuff to cool the D-Rays’ bats and he has been outstanding in the start after he gets lit up. Felix has given up five or more runs four other times this season and his record is 3-1 with a 2.67 ERA. He is also 5-2 with a 2.29 ERA after yielding 10 or more hits in his previous starts. Well, he got touched for seven runs and 10 hits on Sunday at Detroit so that sets up nicely for us here. Felix has cashed in eight of his past 10 home starts and is 8-1 in his last nine starts overall. James Shields is just 3-13 as a road dog, 6-15 on the road, 8-20 as an underdog, and 1-8 on the road against a team with a winning record. The Devil Rays are a horrible road team (29-79 recently) and are just 4-11 in the Emerald City. Shields’ ERA is a full run-and-a-half higher on the road this season and he did lose his last start in Safeco. Hopefully that TB bullpen can come through for us one more time!!!
2.5-Unit Play. Take #908 Houston (-170) over Pittsburgh (8 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14)
1-Unit Play. Take #908 Houston (-1.5, +135) over Pittsburgh (8 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14)
You only pay the juice if you lose and Roy Oswalt doesn’t do much losing. He is 80-39 in his last 119 starts, 73-31 as a favorite, 43-13 at home, and 39-16 in divisional games. The wheels came off on Ian Snell a long time ago and the Pirates are 3-9 in his last 12 starts and 1-9 with him as an underdog. Pittsburgh has had the upper hand in this series this year, but they are still just 16-43 in their last 59 meetings in Houston and Oswalt has won six of his last seven starts against the Pirates. Roy hasn’t given up an earned run in his last three home starts (20 innings) and he has a miniscule 2.03 ERA in Houston this year.
2-Unit Play. Take #920 Toronto (-1.5, +105) over Baltimore (7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14)
1-Unit Play. Take #920 Toronto (-175) over Baltimore (7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 14)
Blue Jays vs. a lefty? Check. Team that’s mailed it in on the season? Check. Home team that’s won six of seven over floundering divisional opponent? Check. Yup, I like the Blue Jays to take the edge off after a frustrating series with the Yankees by bashing in the Orioles.
That's it for today. Good luck.

Biography:
Chad Jordan here, and if I did not get hurt my senior year you would be watching me every sunday on TV!
6-6, 275lbs All-American Athlete and I am proud to say I am in a better position today without having to beat up my body every week.
I never got the chance to make my millions out on the gridiron, but I found a way to make millions by knowing more about defenses and offenses than most guys out there!
With many of my friends still playing Pro sports I have access to the most real information in the business.
Steven A. Smith and any of those ESPN guys can't shine my shoes when it comes to breaking down these games!
I drive a 2006 SL600 Mercedes-Benz sitting on chrome rims, I wear about 150k worth of jewelry at all times, and I dont have to beat myself up every weekend to get it!
I easily make over a million dollars a year as a professional gambler. That's because of my access to information, my keen knowledge of the game, and knowing when to step out.
This is why I am considered the
nations best sports analyst and will I continue to
hold this title as long as I stay in the game!

Oklahoma St over TROY by 7
The Cowboys climbed right back on their horses after being thrown
in their opener against Georgia, punishing an outmanned FAU squad
by a 42-6 fi nal. Troy, meanwhile, got ripped for 59 points in a loss to
Florida, just missing a back door cover. Good numbers abound for
both teams in this matchup. Okie State rides into Alabama with a 6-1
ATS record as road favorites of 6 or more points and an 8-2 spread
streak as non-conference chalk tucked fi rmly in the saddlebag. Trojans,
however, go into attack formation bolstered by a 14-1 SU mark when
playing at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium off a SU loss. Troy has also
won 37 of the past 43 home wars – with only three of those defeats
coming by more than 7 points. With the Cowboys eyeing a shootout
with Texas Tech next week, we’ll take anything that’s offered up in
this tough venue.
Gold Sheet
*Oklahoma State 31 - TROY 26
After murderous (but financially-rewarding) start at Arkansas and at Florida, Troy finally home, where it has ambushed more than one foe. Considering OSU's 2-8 spread mark last 10 away, plus Trojans' developing corps of athletes, led by sr. QB Haugabook, Troy should fight to the end. Did Cowboys find a new starting QB (Z. Robinson 3 TDP) last week after Bobby Reid's injury? CABLE TV--ESPN2 (FIRST MEETING)
Larry Ness' 15* Team Mismatch of the Week (31-10 since Aug 7 / 114-40 since Opening Day!)
Larry's 15* Total of the Week 'sailed over' last night, upping his current run with 15*s to 31-10, which brings his Y-T-D mark to a simply stunning, 114-40! Larry heads into the weekend off back-to-back sweeps in MLB (combined 5-0 Weds and Thurs), as his "assault on MLB's moneyline" continues!
