USC vs. Hawaii
Pick: USC -12 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert college football picks from Matt Fargo

USC is a team in disarray and after the NCAA brought the hammer down on the Trojans, this season was going to likely be a tough one. However, despite playing for nothing I think USC comes out of the gates strong as simply as a matter of pride more than anything else. The team is going to likely struggle for the next couple years more so than this year because of the loss of future scholarships. This is a statement game for USC.

Hawaii was on top of the world just a couple years ago as it boasted one of the best offenses in the country while putting together a combined 23-4 record in 2006 and 2007. Head coach June Jones decided to leave after the 2007 season and it has not been the same as the Warriors have gone 13-14 in the two years since under head coach Greg McMakin. Hawaii brings back just 12 starters from last season and a lot of the rebuilding spots are key positions.

The Trojans offense should start right where it left off last season. They finished 55th and 64th respectively in total offense and scoring offense and those are not typical USC rankings. However they Trojans were hit hard with injuries and were also starting a freshman at quarterback Matt Barkley. Barkley was average but again, he was just a freshman and that year of experience will be a huge benefit this season. He has an experienced line in from and a great running game behind him.

Head coach Lane Kiffin brought some baggage with him but he also brought in his father Monte Kiffin to run the defense. The stop unit was average as well but the front seven will be vastly improved after a year of inexperience set them back. The secondary is an area of concern as all four starters have to be replaced. However cornerback Shareece Wright, who was academically ineligible last season, is back for his senior season and is their best cover corner.

Hawaii will be more than ready for this game, especially at home but top to bottom it cannot compete with the Trojans even though the team is thin with injuries and transfers. The Trojans also fall into a solid situation that has been profitable for years. Play against home teams that allowed a 58 percent or worse completion percentage and with five offensive starters returning, in the first month of the season. This situation is 33-4 ATS (89.2 percent) over the last 10 seasons. The Trojans are 22-7 ATS in their last 29 non-conference games. 3* USC Trojans.

Tulsa vs. East Carolina
Pick: East Carolina +9 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert NFL picks from Doc’s Sports

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #104 Take East Carolina over Tulsa (Sunday 2 pm ESPN 2) A new era for the Pirates starts on Sunday, as Ruffin McNeil takes over as the new head coach of East Carolina. Former Coach Skip Holtz left and took with him much of the talent from last year’s 9-5 team. That being said, I just do not believe that the Golden Hurricanes are good enough to be able to cover this number on the road. East Carolina won at Tulsa this year by a score of 44-17, as a four point underdog. WR Dwayne Harris is still on the team and I expect him to go over 1000 yards receiving on the year. The Golden Hurricanes return only five starters on defense and I expect this to be a high scoring game with the underdog covering easily. East Carolina is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Conference USA games. Don’t miss Doc’s Sports weekend card, featuring a top play from the Big Ten, a conference Doc has owned for 39 years.

Directly below you will find a few of the teams we believe have a chance to win the Super Bowl this season. Click here to visit Touthouse.com and get winning football picks this season

Indianapolis Colts - The Colts are once again the favorites to win the Super Bowl, and for good reason. They started off at 14-0 last season before taking their foot off of the gas pedal, and had they continued to rally during the end of the season, they might have become the second 16-0 regular season team in NFL history. QB Peyton Manning might be 34 years old now, but he is coming off of a year in which he threw for 4,500 yards and 33 TDs. As long as he is upright, the Colts are contenders.

San Diego Chargers - Though we aren’t so sure if the Chargers really have the grit to win the Super Bowl, there is no doubt that these are fantastic odds, all things considered. The Bolts have the easiest road to a division title of any team in football (save perhaps the Saints), and they have the easiest schedule amongst division winners in the game as well this year. There is no excuse not to win at least a dozen games and take a first round bye in the playoffs, and anything less than the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC would be disappointing.

New Orleans Saints - Are the Saints being disrespected as the fifth choice on the board to win the Super Bowl this year? The defending champs have the most explosive offense in the league without a doubt, and much like San Diego, there really shouldn’t be any doubt about the fact that this team is making the playoffs and opening them up with a home game. QB Drew Brees might be the most underrated player in the league, and that’s saying something for a man that just led his team to a Super Bowl title.

Baltimore Ravens - With QB Ben Roethlisberger suspended for the first month of the season, the Ravens have a golden opportunity to get back atop the AFC North. Though this is a team known for its defense, the offense is as strong as it has looked, potentially since the team has moved to Baltimore. The addition of WR Anquan Boldin gives QB Joe Flacco a second huge target to throw to, and with RB Ray Rice and RB Willis McGahee making up one of the most dangerous rushing tandems in the league, scoring 24+ points per game seems like a legitimate possibility.

San Francisco 49ers - Sure, the Niners are a bit of a longshot to win it all, but someone has to win the NFC West, right? San Fran seems like the most likely candidate to get the job done, and it will have a chance in the playoffs just like Arizona did two years ago if it gets there. QB Alex Smith will have a full year with WR Michael Crabtree under his belt, and the offensive line got beefed up through the NFL Draft, as both OLs Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis should become immediate starters.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Cincinnati Reds
Pick: Cincinnati Reds -173 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert MLB baseball picks from Big Al McMordie

At 7:10 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Cincinnati Reds over the Milwaukee Brewers. The only person happier to see Johnny Cueto’s last outing than the manager of coaches of the Reds was probably Cueto himself. The hard-throwing righthander has a history (albeit a short one) of 2nd half meltdowns like in 2009 when he went 3-5; 5.81 after going 8-6; 3.62 prior to the break and similarly in his rookie season when he had two wins after the break as compared to seven prior. So imagine how thrilled the Reds must be that, after back to back poor efforts on August 10 and 21 (making it three out four starts that were sub-par), Cueto came out in his last outing on August 27, and threw a gem - eight innings with one run on six hits with eight strikeouts and no walks - against the Cubs at home. Now he can make it two in a row and really put some demons and doubts behind him as his team will need him to be sharp in this last month of the season with the NL Central race likely coming down to the wire. He’s in a great position to do just that as Cincy has been absolutely dominant against the Brewers lately, taking eight of the last nine contests heading into this series. And his team is facing a lefthander in Chris Narveson who, despite a winning record (10-7) has really struggled keeping men off the basepaths this season which has resulted in a career-worst 5.52 ERA heading into this, his 23rd start of the season. Take the Reds. As always, good luck…Al McMordie. Get more baseball betting picks from Al at Touthouse.com

Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco Giants
Pick: Colorado Rockies -115 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert baseball picks from Matt Fargo

After being the underdog in the first two games of this series, the Rockies are now the favorites and for good reason. Colorado won the opener of this series before dropping Game Two last night and that makes this game rather important. Colorado is seven games behind the slumping Padres in the National League West and while that deficit may not be able to be come back from, the Wild Card race is wide open. The Rockies are 4.5 games back with San Francisco being three games up on them.

The Giants are hanging around in the division as they trail the Padres by four games but they have been unable to take advantage of the San Diego skid, which has now reached six games. San Francisco simply is not playing well and it has been unable to put any sort of run together. Since a four-game winning streak at the end of July and start of August, the Giants are only 11-15 in their last 26 games while winning consecutive games only three times. Get more baseball betting picks from Matt Fargo at Touthouse.com

One of the reasons have been struggles from their ace.

Tim Lincecum has hit a rough patch of late with four straight non-quality efforts. None have even been close to good as he has posted a dismal 9.00 ERA in those four games with the Giants going 0-4 in those games. He has had some trouble with Colorado this season as in two starts he is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA and 2.06 WHIP. Colorado has actually been his biggest nemesis throughout his career as he has the highest ERA against the Rockies of any team that he has made at least five starts against.

Colorado goes with its ace Ubaldo Jimenez and after a small bump in the road, he is mowing them down once again. After a six-game stretch where he posted a 7.64 ERA, Jimenez has since tossed six straight quality starts while putting up a 2.57 ERA over those games. He has been a tough luck loser as run support has fallen off but this is the prime opportunity for the Rockies to gets the bats going. His 2.31 road ERA is best in the National League for all qualified starters.

Colorado is 10-2 in its last 12 games following a loss as well as going 14-2 in Jimenez’ last 16 starts when coming off a loss in its previous game. 3* Colorado Rockies

Below are MLB baseball betting picks for September 1st 2010 from Touthouse.com handicappers. If you are looking for free MLB baseball picks on a daily basis or premium picks from our MLB baseball betting experts visit Touthouse.com each day.

Pick: Angels vs. Mariners Over 7.5 (Jim Feist)
This is a low total for an American League game. Normally you have at least one ace with a total like this, and yet for this game we’re looking at No. 4 and 5 starters. Jason Vargas of the Mariners has bene struggling, with a 6.52 ERA his last three starts. The Angels come to town forced to go with Trevor Bell (5.07 ERA), who has below average stuff with opponents hitting .315 off him. He is 0-3 on the road with an ERA over 5, 4-1-1 over the total his last six road starts. Look for an offensive show, play the Angels/Mariners Over the total.

Pick: Los Angeles Angels +109 (Rob Vinciletti)
On Wednesday the free play is on the LA. Angels. Game 929 at 10:10 eastern. The Angels apply to a nice system that plays on road dogs that are off a road dog loss and scored 2 or less runs and 5 or more hits and 5 or more left on base, vs an opponent off home favored win that scored 4 or more runs and won by 2 or more runs with a posted total of 8 or less. LA has won 6 of 8 here this year. Seattle is batting a shade over .200 the past week and they are a lousy 12-28 in divisional play. When installed as a home favorite in this range the Mariners are a money burning 4-9. Look for the Angels to get the win here tonight. On Wednesday the lead play is from a 96% MLB Divisional totals system. I also have a solid MLB Triple angle System Dominator side. For the free play take the Angles. RV

Pick: San Diego Padres -132 (Robbie Gainous)
The San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks square-off in Game 3 of their series on Wednesday night in the desert. The Padres are 38-18 versus teams with a losing record including 12-5 when playing on the road in this situation. They are also a perfect 9-0 when Latos takes the bump on the road versus teams with a losing record. San Diego is 14-4 when playing in Game 3 of a series this season and Arizona is 9-24 in Game 3’s. One final note for the Padres we see they are 6-0 when Mike Everitt is behind home plate calling balls and strikes. Lay the chalk with the visitor as San Diego gets another Game 3 victory and Arizona falls victim to recent history once more.

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay Rays
MLB Pick: Tampa Bay Rays -169 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert MLB picks from Ben Burns

The Jays exploded for 13 runs in yesterday’s game. With David Price on the mound, they’re unlikely to come anywhere close to that number this evening. Price has been exceptional all season and the Rays are 17-8 (+4.4) in his 25 starts.

Marcum is also enjoying a very solid season for the Jays and has pitched well recently. However, his 4.14 ERA on the road doesn’t compare to Price’s 2.26 ERA at home.

The price may seem a bit steep but the Rays have simply been that good at home the past few seasons. Note that they’re a highly profitable 66-21 (+32.1) the last 87 times that they were listed as home favorites in the -150 to -175 range.

Even with yesterday’s loss, the Rays are also still 20-6 the last 26 times that they hosted the Jays. Additionally, the Rays are a perfect 6-0 when Price has started against the Jays. Price was 5-0 with a superb 2.09 ERA in those games. Price has already gotten the better of Marcum twice this season (Rays won by scores of 7-3 at Toronto and 10-1 here at Tampa) and has allowed just one earned run in 23 innings against Toronto this season. Consider laying the wood.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Oakland Raiders
NFL preseason pick: Oakland Raiders -3 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert NFL picks from Nick Parsons

I typically don’t play the fourth week of NFL pre-season, and other than this one selection, that will be the case again this year; for a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the home side:

Seattle went 4-0 ATS in the 2009 pre-season; so far this year its gone 1-2 ATS, winning in Week 1, but dropping its last two pre-season tilts.

It lost 24-13 to the Vikes last week; although its defense looked decent, its offense was out of sorts and I believe that will once again be the case in the pre-season finale.

Matt Hasselbeck completed nine of 17 passes for 126 yards; he was sacked twice and hit two other times.

Seattle’s offensive line was a weakness last year, and it continues to be an area of concern that this team will have to deal with and address once again this season.

On the other side of the field: Oakland went 2-2 ATS in the 2009 pre-season; so far this year its gone 2-1 ATS, winning both ATS and SU in Weeks one and two, but falling 28-24 to the 49′ers last week as 1 1/2 point favorites.

Bruce Gradkowski had a solid outing last week after starter Jason Campbell went down with in jury; he threw for 202 yards with two TD’s.

The Raiders backup looked fantastic against the 49′ers first team defense; San Fran allowed three TD’s and committed ten penalties.

Coach Tom Cable on his teams effort; “There’s too many ups and downs in this football game for us to be who we need to be to succeed,” Cable said. “A lot to learn from it, and that’s a good thing. I’m glad it happened now as opposed to a few weeks from now.”

“It felt like just where I left off,” Gradkowski said. “It was exciting. It feels so great to be out there and playing and competing. We have a really good football team and we’re excited about it.”

Bottom line: The Seahawks led 13-10 after three quarters last week, but Seattle’s reserves allowed two TD’s in the final quarter; “We played really solid for three quarters, and again like last week our guys that were in at the end can’t hold a lead,” coach Pete Carroll said. “So that’s unfortunate.”

Expect the Oakland reserves to better the Seattle backups; home field advantage also can’t be overlooked in this case; consider a second look at the RAIDERS in this situation.

Marshall vs. Ohio State
Pick: Ohio State -28.5 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more expert college football picks from Wunderdog Sports

Despite the flack he gets, Jim Tressel has done a top-rate job maintaining the tradition of winning at Ohio State. He enters his 10th season with an overall record of 94-21. More importantly his teams have played well above the number overall, going 65-46-2 ATS under his leadership (54-39 as a favorite). He has also not laid down against the big numbers as his Buckeyes teams are a strong 7-4 ATS when giving more 4+ touchdowns. Marshall was a beast for the first four years of this past decade recording a 38-13 straight-up mark, but the program has fallen off sharply. While this team has a tremendous home-field advantage, ranked No. 1 in the country at 118-19, the road has not been their friend. The Herd is just 5-22 in their last 27 on the highway. John Holiday could get this program moving in the right direction as he is a notable recruiter, but for now he has to live with some pieces that don’t belong in Columbus for week one.
