Texas vs. Kansas Betting Odds & Pick: November 21st 2009

Texas vs. Kansas
Free Pick: Texas -27.5 -110 betting odds

Texas is rolling towards the Big 12 title as there just isn’t much standing in their way. Assuming they cruise today, and defeat an overmatched opponent (either K State or Nebraska) in the Big 12 title game, they’re almost a lock for the BCS title game. Alabama and Florida will play each other in the SEC champioship, so Texas will likely jump to #2 behind either the Gators or Tide. Expect the Horns to come out ready to roll today.

Kansas is an absolute mess this week with the problems surrounding coach Mark Mangino and his ways. Kansas started the season 5-1 but probably won’t make a bowl game now. A sad ending to what looked like a promising season.

Well, we’re headed down the stretch of the College Football season and the teams in contention for a championship are all in action this weekend. Florida has a “cupcake” game against Florida International, while Alabama has one as well vs. Tennessee Chattanooga. The Gators and Tide will meet in two weeks for the SEC Championship and a spot in the BCS title game. Waiting in the wings could be Texas, who hosts Kansas this afternoon. Boise State played last night while TCU will be in Laramie to battle Wyoming. Good luck and enjoy.

Free College Football Pick: Arizona U +6.5
Better defense, as a home underdog. The only games Arizona has lost on this field since last season were to senior talent laden USC and Oregon State, both last year, both close games. If it looks like a Duck, walks like a Duck, quacks like a Duck, then it must be a Duck. If it’s a Duck, then it doesn’t know how to win late-season games away from home any important game away from home, actually. Oregon’s passing game is suspect, and Arizona has the nation’s 20th-ranked run defense. Oregon’s defense will allow yards. Against the worst offenses, they get turnovers to mask the weaknesses. Arizona’s offense gets more yards per game (429) than Oregon (415). TAKE ARIZONA PLUS HERE. – Courtesy of Bob wingerter

Free College Football Prediction: UL Lafayette +4
UL-Monroe (6-4 SU, 4-5 ATS) has problems on defense under a new defensive coordinator, who brought in a 3-3-5 look, but they allow 30 ppg. They beat Florida International, but allowed 35 points and 394 yards (314 passing), and allowed 383 yards (195 rushing) in Saturday’s 21-18 win over a terrible Western Kentucky team. Rickey Bustle’s (5-5) UL Lafayette is a decent squad that had to play LSU and Nebraska – both on the road! But they also impressed in a 17-15 win at Kansas State. All five starters back on the offensive line, so it is a run-oriented attack with new soph QB Chris Masson (8 TDs, 8 picks). They are home after a three game conference road trip. They had a tough 20-17 OT loss at Florida International, despite 254 passing yards from Masson, a 21-18 win at Arkansas State, rolling up 376 yards, and Saturday’s 34-17 loss at Middle Tennessee State. An excellent spot for the home dog. Play UL-Lafayette. – Courtesy of Jim Feist

Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Giants Odds, Pick & Point Spread: November 22nd 2009

This game has become a pivotal one in the NFC as both of these teams sit at 5-4. The fact that the wildcard race sees four teams in the NFC at 5-4, the winner takes a leg up here while the loser could be in big trouble. The Giants opened the season with five straight wins, but have suddenly dropped four in a row. They own four of their five wins vs. teams that have a combined record of 8-28, so the jury is still out on just how good this team really is. The proof may be in the fact that this Giants team has allowed just 40 points in four games vs. losing teams (10 points per game), but they have been torched for 32.8 ppg in their five games against winning teams. New York’s running game has not been as lethal this season, as in seasons’ past. They are still gaining a respectable 4.37 yards per carry, but that pales in contrast to the potent land attack they had a year ago when they produced over five yards a pop. That has put QB Eli Manning in more situations of third and long. It has also shown itself in the interception department as Eli threw just 10 picks all last year and this year he has thrown eight already. The Giants No. 1 defensive ranking in yards allowed is misleading as they rank just No. 21 in the league in points allowed – worse than Atlanta. The Falcons have played their best after a straight-up loss where they are now 10-1 ATS, and I would expect their “A” game here which they have brought every time after a loss. This has been a road-dominated series over the years with the road team collecting the cash in the last seven, and that includes Atlanta getting the money in the last four played in New York. My computer matchup for this game has Atlanta keeping this one close. I agree that they will keep it close, and may even win.

College Football: Minnesota vs. Iowa Betting Odds & Pick: November 21st 2009

Minnesota vs. Iowa
Free Pick: Minnesota +11 -110 betting odds

Iowa has fought the good fight this year. The Hawkeyes were expected to be a mid-level Big 10 team. Instead, Kirk Ferentz guided his squad to a 9-0 record to start the season, putting the Hawkeyes in the middle of the national championship discussion. A home loss to Northwestern two weeks ago ended that discussion. An OT loss at Ohio State last week ended their Rose Bowl hopes. Now, all the Hawkeyes are is a tired (no bye week), banged up (starting QB Ricky Stanzi is out), shell of the squad they were a month ago.

Let’s not forget how grueling this stretch has been for the Hawkeyes, playing their twelfth consecutive Saturday. They rallied from behind to beat Wisconsin. They rallied from behind twice in the fourth quarter, winning on the last play of the game at Michigan State. They rallied from behind against Indiana, needing a near miracle to win the game at all, after trailing by three scores in the second half. Iowa tried to rally from behind in the Northwestern loss, another ‘down-to-the-wire’ finish. And, last week, they rallied from behind once again, falling short in OT at the Horseshoe in Columbus. Yes, that’s five straight ‘barnburner’ type ballgames.

The Hawkeyes have not been good favorites this year, despite all of the winning. They were 21 point chalk against Arkansas State, but won by a single field goal. They couldn’t cover as a TD+ favorite against Michigan, despite five Wolverines turnovers. Their cover as double digit chalk against Indiana was arguably the single most fraudulent pointspread cover of the entire college football season, and they followed that up with a home loss as two TD favorites against Northwestern. This Iowa team is not poised for a big blowout win and cover on senior day.

Minnesota lost 55-0 at home to the Hawkeyes last year, by far their worst loss of the season, a loss that they are still talking about one year later. Tight end Nick Tow-Arnett: “To get beat like that … it still hurts. We’re a lot stronger now than at the end of last year. Defensive tackle Eric Small: “They probably don’t respect us very much….”. Linebacker Nate Triplett: “It wasn’t so much shock as being really disappointed in the way we had played. It was a big rival and we weren’t in the game….I love it (to beat Iowa on Saturday). It would make my career.” Minnesota is certainly not the better team on paper, but games aren’t played on paper. (#323) 2* Take Minnesota.

Notre Dame vs. UConn
Free Pick: Notre Dame -6 -110 odds – point spreads
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert college football picks from Tony George

Last home game for the Irish and all the scrutiny and public backlash directed at beleaguered head coach Weis is deplorable. While I am not personally a big fan of the Irish, I am a fan of teams who make me money, and last week I cashed them in as a dog at Pitt. The entire world, every publication and every TV show you watch has U Conn winning this outright in the land of Touchdown Jesus this Saturday. I do not buy it one bit. With all the action on U Conn, why not one line move off of 6 points as of Friday yet? Because Vegas oddsmakers are BEGGING you to take U Conn, I say play the contrarian on this play. Do not be fooled, Notre Dame is vastly superior in talent in this game.

The Irish have the best offense on the field at home, and the best playmakers by far. Notre Dame is 9th in the USA in total yards on offense. U Conn has done nothing but lose the past 3 weeks and give up huge plays. They may be the most over respected programs in division I football. U Conn’s pass defense is deplorable and they are giving up over 28 points on the road this season. Yes they have had a week off to get ready, but have NO illusions, Notre Dames players love their coach and will rise to the occasion on senior day in Sotuhbend and get a big win for him. With Stanford on deck for a road trip, this is an absolute MUST WIN for the Irish. Expect QB Clausen to have a HUGE day and for Notre Dame to pull out all the stops against a defense built to stop no one.

Notre Dame 35 U Conn 24 , lay the points for your free play.

Baylor vs. Texas A&M Odds, Pick & Point Spread: November 21st 2009

Baylor vs. Texas A&M
Free Pick: Texas A&M -4.5 -110 odds – point spreads
Visit Touthouse.com for more NCAA football picks from Alex Smart

The Texas A&M Aggies will have their bowl hopes on the line at home on Saturday afternoon when they take on the Baylor Bears. This could also be the final chance for HC Mike Sherman to salvage his job, as he could be history if A&M doesn’t qualify for a bowl game. Though the Aggies still have one game remaining, it’s unlike that they beat mighty Texas, making this game all the more important. Though Baylor is in must-win mode as well, the Bears just don’t have the horses to hang around in this one.

The only result in the L/6 games for Baylor that is even remotely concerning to me is that 40-32 victory at Missouri two weeks ago. But if I throw that game out of the mix, the Bears are just 2-3 ATS and 0-5 SU in their other five outings since October 3rd. Last week, they were housed by Texas from the get go and never had a chance of covering the 23-point spread at home. Save that 40-point outburst against the Tigers, the Bears haven’t put more than 14 points on the board since the Kent State game either. Both TDs last week against Texas came in garbage time when the cover was already out of reach. Texas A&M’s defense has struggled this season, allowing 34.0 points per game, but considering that they allowed 65 to Oklahoma and 62 to Kansas State, a lot of that should be forgiven.

The Aggies are coming off of that brutal 65-10 loss in Normal last week and will be looking to get back on the right foot this weekend. They’ve played relatively well at home, especially of late, as they scored a 35-10 victory over Iowa State in their last home date. They also have convincing victories over UAB and New Mexico there. The offense surely isn’t the problem for Sherman’s crew, as his QB Jerrod Johnson has been absolutely fantastic this season. On a better team, Johnson would be up for the Heisman Trophy, as he has thrown for 2,722 yards and 22 TDs against five INTs and ran for another 275 yards and seven scores. The Aggies rank #8 in the land in total offense at 452.4 yards per game and 20th in points scored at 33.0 per game. They should have no problems rolling against this Baylor defense.

Revenge should also be considered here as well, as Baylor knocked off A&M 41-21 last season. The favorite is 10-4 ATS in the L/14 in this series, and that should continue with a convincing victory for the hosts on Saturday. Book it!!!

Orlando Magic vs. Boston Celtics Odds & Pick: November 20th 2009

Orlando Magic vs. Boston Celtics
Free NBA Pick: Orlando Magic +7 – NBA odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert NBA basketball picks from Joseph D’Amico

Both Orlando and Boston are tied for the 2nd best record in the Eastern Conference at 9-3. The Celtic’s are 5-7 ATS this season, while the Magic are 7-5 ATS. Orlando has won and covered the L2 over Boston, going back to May of last year. In this matchup, I feel the big difference is is the disparity between the each teams Centers. Magic Center Dwight Howard is a monster. He is far superior in scoring and rebounding, not to mention defense over Celtics middle man Kendrick Perkins. The Magic are on a 3 ganme winning streak while the Celtic’s have dropped 2 of their L3. Boston has only covered 1 of their L7 outings overall. As a matter of fact, the Celtic’s, who were once money at home are just 1-4 ATS their L5 when hosting. This can be due to the fact that they have some injuries on their bench that is taking a toll on their starters. Orlando is 6-0 ATS their last 6 vs. the NBA Atlantic and 38-17-1 ATS their last 56 as a ‘dog. Boston is 1-6 ATS their last 7 overall and 0-4 ATS their last 4 as a favorite of 5-10.5 points. There is too many points for Boston to lay. Take Orlando. Thank you.

Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Memphis as they take on Philadelphia set to start at 7:05 EST. AiS shows a 70% probability that Memphis will lose this game by 5 or fewer points. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 74-38 ATS for 66% winners since 2004.

Note that they are a solid 24-11 ATS (+11.9 Units) when they make 48% to 51% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons. Over the past 2 seasons, Philly has not done well in taking care of teams that should defeat on a consistent basis. Note that Philly is just 4-13 ATS (-10.3 Units) when playing against a bad team posting a win percentage of 25% to 40% over the last 2 seasons. 76ers HC Jordan is just 5-17 ATS (-13.7 Units) in home games after scoring 90 points or less 2 straight games in all games he has coached since 1996. Take Memphis.
