Analysis:

BC/WV:

Like the explosive Mounties at home in this one. WV owns this series (18-5 ATS) and Home team is 7-1 ATS recently. I like the innovation of Rich Rodriguez and his WV offense over the BC offense. WV is looking to finish strong, and they play well late in the year.....

W VIRGINIA 32-16

----------

IOWA/MINNY:

Two teams that are great at home, and bad on the road. Last year Minny outgained Iowa 563-344, and led in 1st downs 29-15 but lost because of 5 turnovers. The running game is the key here, and Minny will own it behind backs Maroney and Barber.

Minny averaging 315 rushing yards at home, and Iowa has NO rushing attack! Sweet revenge for the Gophers as they get this one at home in style....

MINNESOTA 37-20

----------

South Carolina/Florida:

Gators first home game since Zook was fired. I expect an inspired effort from the Gators in this home night game. South Carolina does not handle succes well, and they became bowl eligible with comeback win over Arkansas last week.

I don't like SC Soph QB Newton vs. quality SEC defenses that have speed. He drops too deep on pass plays and can't make the essential post pattern throws. Newton holds the ball too long, and looks to run too often. SC Wr's and "O" line have a tough time finding a rhythm w/ Newton, and Gator "D" has the speed to contain him. Gator "O" will have their way in this one. If Florida can limit TO's and mistakes, this will be easy.

Next year 'Cocks will have Spurrier , but this year they lose again...........

FLORIDA 34-13

----------

Miami/Virginia:

'Canes have lost 2 straight as double digit favorites (UNC & Clemson) and now play as underdogs. I think the ACC competition has got their attention. Miami is superb in these big spots, and will be totally focused here........

MIAMI 24-20

----------

Marshall/Bowling Green:

Marshall collapse was absurd last Thursday night, as they blew 28-7 lead @ Akron. That loss provides the line value and motivation for this play. BG has been impressive vs. weak competition, but Marshall does not fall into that class. I have no doubt the Herd will bounce back with a top notch performance, and this one goes to the wire.....

Marshall 27-24

--------------------

Pitt/Cleveland:

I was pulling for the Steelers last week, so this one would set up. Pitt has won 3 straight games as a dog, including back-to-back SU wins as a home dog. 3-0 SU dogs are 3-13 ATS since 1980 when they play on the road in their next game. Steelers are being pegged as the best team in the NFL, and all they have been hearing (locally and nationally) is how great they are.........

This week they play as 4 pt road favorites vs. the lowly Cleveland Browns. Give me the Browns! Clevelend knows this team, and plays well at home. Browns will win outright....

CLEVELAND 23-20

----------

Tampa Bay/Atlanta:

Falcons (+7) won @ Denver 41-28 2 weeks ago, and are off a bye week. Tampa is 16-1 ATS as a November Dog , and 6-1 ATS last 7 vs. Atlanta. Tampa is also 11-2 ATS vs. teams .600 or better.

Falcons will fold in this spot vs. solid and improving Bucs. TB has contained Vick better than any division opponent. Bucs Win outright....

TB 20-19

----------

NASCAR:

Gordon owns this track winning here 6 times including 5 Wins in this race, the Southern 500. I will post a few more plays late Saturday, but I have already played Gordon.
