BYU is going to get its points with stars Max Hall, Harvey Unga, and Dennis Pitta leading the way, but the Aggies are improved and I believe they have the ability to light up the scoreboard tonight as well with their new spread attack, led by talented QB Diondre Borel. BYU has played to the over in 3 straight and the Aggies have played to the over in each of their 2 lines games this season. The Over is 3-0-1 in the Aggies last 4 games as a road underdog of 10.5 or greater and 4-0 in the Cougars last 4 games as a favorite. Take the Over for 1 Unit.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds u9.0 (-105 odds)

The Cincinnati Reds have enjoyed playing the spoiler role lately, but they will have a hard time getting motivated for the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates in this season-ending series, so do not expect much scoring tonight from a couple of teams that just want to go home now.

The Pirates did just take two out of three from the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, but they are still averaging just 3.49 runs per game on the road this season while batting a poor .234 as a team. As for the Reds, even with their recent hot streak, they are still hitting just .246 at home vs. right-handed pitching.

Young Daniel McCutchen had not pitched badly in his five starts for the Pirates, allowing three runs or less three times and exactly four earned runs in each of the other two starts. McCutchen made his Major League debut vs. these Reds on August 31, and he promptly recorded a Quality Start, allowing three runs on five hits with five strikeouts in six innings.

Now Justin Lehr has been erratic for Ciccinnati, but he had his moments, such as allowing three runs or less in his first four starts in a Reds uniform. He has not been pitching that well lately, but he could easily regain his good form tonight vs. a Pittsburgh lineup that closely resembles a AAA team.

Factor in that these teams want to get this game and this series over and done with as soon as possible and the Under becomes an even stronger play.

MLB Free Pick: Pirates, Reds 9 (-105)

Two games on the board on this Friday as we head into a big weekend. Pittsburgh travels to Louisville for an important Big East showdown. Pitt expects to contend in the conference this year and can’t afford to lose to a team that should be at the bottom of the league.

BYU will try to bounce back from a shocking loss at home to Florida State a few weeks ago in their game tonight against Utah State. BYU was ranked as high as #7 a few weeks ago after their win vs. Oklahoma, and they hope to get back into the top 10 at some point soon.

We’re down to one race for the playoffs after the Rockies wrapped up the NL Wild Card with their win over the Brewers yesterday afternoon. So it’s the AL Central race that still hasn’t been decided, with Detroit leading Minnesota by two games with three to play. Detroit will be hosting the White Sox this weekend, Jake Peavy vs. Edwin Jackson, while the Twins host the Royals, Lenny Dinardo vs. Jef Manship. Good luck!

LSU vs. Georgia
Free Pick: Georgia -3 -110 odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more NCAA football betting picks from John Martin

Georgia catches LSU in a good sport here with the Tigers having Florida up next. Yes, the Tigers will be up for this game, but they are certainly more interested in their showdown in Baton Rouge with the Gators than they are with this game against the Bulldogs. Quietly, Georgia is one of the best teams in the SEC with a 3-1 record after losing to Oklahoma State to open their season. This is the most resilient team in the country so far, escaping with a 4-point win over South Carolina, an 11-point win at Arkansas and a 3-point win over Arizona State. The Bulldogs are battle-tested which will help them pull out this huge SEC clash against undefeated LSU. But the Tigers could easily be 2-2 right now, beating Washington by just 8 points and Mississippi State by just 4 points last week. Both teams are escaping with wins this year, but the edge in this game goes to Georgia with home-field advantage. LSU is 0-9 ATS after 3 or more consecutive straight up wins over the last 3 seasons. This team hasn’t been very good with a lot of expectations, and with Florida up next, the Tigers will not come out sharp enough to keep up with the fiesty Bulldogs. Cash in with Georgia as the favorite.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Giants
Free Pick: Under 42.5 points -110 odds (October 4th 2009)
visit Touthouse.com for more NFL football picks and NFL betting info from John Martin

This Total has been set way too high Sunday considering the Chiefs have a terrible offense and the Giants have one of the best defenses in the league. New York pitched a shutout last week in a 24-0 road win at Tampa Bay, keeping the Bucs without a first down until late in the 3rd quarter. This defense is the real deal, and the Chiefs will not put up more than 10 points in this game. K.C. is only averaging 16.0 points/game this season and 264 yards/game. New York is allowing 16.0 points/game and 245 yards/game on the season. The Giants are 50-21 UNDER after allowing 75 or less rushing yards last game since 1992. New York is 15-5 UNDER vs. terrible teams – outscored by 10+ points per game on the season since 1992. The UNDER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in this series. Kansas City won’t score more than 10, and the Giants won’t score more than 28 in this defensive battle. Cash in with the UNDER 42.5 points.

Boston college vs. Florida State
Free Pick: Boston College +4 -110 betting odds
Visit Touthouse.com for more football betting picks from Freddy Wills

Saturday we will have our free pick on Boston College as they face the confusing Florida State team that we have seen play well against Miami, and BYU, but terrible against State, and South Florida last weekend. One may say this team is now very motivated after last week’s poor offensive showing, but I agree to disagree. BC has a very sound defense and ranks 16th in the country against the pass and is 18th in total defense with their 25th rank against the run. They are also very solid in the red zone and they got a boost last weekend from MLB Mike McLaughlin who helped them take down Wake Forest in OT. The BC team that could not score a point against Clemson is different as they changed some things up against Wake when they started veteran QB David Shinskie who is opening up the running game for the Eagles. Shinskie spent years playing baseball and is 25 years old. The leadership he brings is an intangible that BC has needed. WR Jarvis said, “In the huddle I can feel a different presence. It’s a little similar to what I felt with Matt Ryan with their leadership.” I absolutely love hearing that from a player as QB is the most important position on the field. Florida State got pushed around last weekend against South Florida and I expect BC to get some pressure. On the other side of the ball for FSU they continue to give up big plays and they rank 115th against the pass. I just don’t see a disciplined BC defense giving up many points especially at home. They will limit the Seminoles trips to the red zone with field goals and keep this game within a TD all game lonng.

Florida State vs. Boston College
Free Pick: Florida State -3.5 -110 odds – point spread

Bobby Bowden’s troops make their way to Chestnut Hill to face ACC rival Boston College on Saturday. Boston College is coming off an OT win over Wake Forest while the Seminoles are licking their wounds after losing at home as a two touchdown favorite to little brother University of South Florida.

Boston College has struggled this season and almost blew the game with Wake last week leading 24 to 10 at the halfway point of the fourth quarter and their defense couldn’t hold the lead it took overtime to finally secure the “W”.

Eagle’s freshman QB Dave Shinskie will face a much tougher opponent this week with the FSU defense more athletic and certainly faster than that of the Wake Forest team he saw last week. BC passing attack was 18 of 29 for 228 yards in the win over the Deacons and their rushing attack added an additional 170 yards over land. They will find the going much tougher this week especially with the Noles speed on the defensive side of the ball.

A week earlier the Boston College Eagles faced Clemson which has similar speed on defense and they held the Eagles to 29 yards rushing on 28 attempts and they were 5 of 21 for 25 yards through the air. Now we must remember that this game was halted due to weather a couple times and it was a rain soaked field. Against Kent State which is well below average on the defensive side of the ball the Eagles only rushed for 126 yards and passed for 223 in the win. They do not have the talent or playmakers to facilitate a win over the Seminoles on Saturday.

FSU is led by QB Christian Ponder who has thrown for more than 1000 yards this season and he has completed over 66 percent of his passes to this point. In their win over BYU in Provo they rushed for 313 yards and Ponder was 22 of 28 for 199 yards through the air. Against South Florida last week they only rushed for 19 yards and passed for 269 on 25 of 37 passing attempts. We expect to see the FSU team that performed so well against BYU on the road.

The Seminoles are playing with revenge for a 27 to 17 home loss last season to the Eagles. The key play in that game was an 87 yard interception return for a touchdown that gave BC an early 14 to 0 lead that they never relinquished.

The BC Eagles are 0-4 ATS as a host in this series and FSU is 5-1 ATS when playing with conference revenge. The road team has also won and covered the last four in this series and Bowden’s troops have covered three of their last four as road chalk. The Noles are 15-3 ATS off a SU loss as a favorite facing an opponent off a SU win. Key Angle for this contest is FSU is 7-0-1 ATS the game following their last 8 SU losses.

A check of the database reveals a CFB System that is active for today’s game and it says to Play AGAINST a home team (not a favorite of 14+ points) off a home SU win of less than 41 points against Wake Forest. These home teams are a miserable 0-12 ATS and have averaged losing to the number by 12.5 points per game.

We look for the Seminoles to continue with what they have done in the past and that is to get the SU and ATS win following a SU loss. Quick note FSU is a perfect 3-0 both straight up and against the spread dating to last season when playing away from home. Lay the short price as the Noles grab the SU and ATS win on Saturday in Chestnut Hill.

PROJECTED FORECAST: FSU Seminoles 29 Boston College Eagles 18

Houston +160 over Philadelphia:
The Phillies became the latest team to clinch a playoff spot last night and now can officially begin to defend their title when the playoffs begin next week. I’m sure many of the regulars will get the night off tonight as they certainly enjoyed their celebration last night.

Cliff Lee has been magnificent since coming over from Cleveland, pitching to a 7-3 record with a 3.28 ERA. We expect he’ll just pitch a few innings tonight to get his work in and make sure he’s ready to go in Game 1 next week.

Look for Astros new manager Dave Clark to try to win as many games as possible down the stretch as he’s trying to convince the brass to hire him full time for 2010.

Important Note: ATS starts off their Football weekend in grand style last night as Louisiana Tech crushed Hawaii 27-6. This weekend is our College Grand Slam, four 8 unit plays and a round robin parlay. Don’t miss the best money making opportunity of the season. Call 1-800-772-1287 ASAP!
