There's a new coaching at Texas Tech but the Red Raiders come into this game still with Taylor Potts and Steven Sheffield at QB who torched the opponents for big points last season and they have 10 of the top 11 pass catchers to throw to. You can also bet that talented RB Baron Batch will be a bigger part of the offense as well. The Red Raider powerful offense will be going against a Mustang defense that really doesn't have a whole lot of depth.

The SMU Mustangs start the season having to replace Shawnbrey McNeal who ran for 1,188 yards and 12 TD’s last year and Emmanuel Sanders who had 98 receptions and seven TDs.

Supporting Angles: TEXAS TECH is 32-15 ATS (+15.5 Units) in home games in the first half of the season since 1992. SMU is 22-38 ATS (-19.8 Units) in the first month of the season since 1992.

Too much of a difference between these two teams at this point to worry about the number. Take: Texas Tech

The White Sox are coming off a double-header sweep yesterday over the Red Sox and look to complete the series sweep when they send lefty, Mark Buehrle to the hill. Buehrle has had a good year for Chicago posting a respectable 3.95 ERA in his 27 starts. Today he'll be facing a Red Sox team that is only 2-11 versus left handed starters in day games this season.

The Red Sox counter with righter hander Josh Beckett. Beckett has had a horrible season and comes into this one with a sky high 6.21 ERA in 16 starts. Unfortunately for the Red Sox the White Sox have been very profitable on the road versus right handed starters pulling in over $1200 against the money line.

The wrong team is favored in this one. Take: White Sox w/ Buehrle

In a prime time matchup the TCU Horned Frogs will be out to prove a point and ready for bear in this primetime matchup on ESPN in Cowboys Stadium.

The Horned Frogs bring back seven starters from a defensive unit that held opponents to a college football best 240 yards per game last season. In addition TCU has QB Andy Dalton who leads the nation in QB wins.

The Oregon State Beavers has a pair of outstanding offensive players in RB Jacquizz Rodgers and his brother WR James. However, the Beavers have really struggled when on the road as HC Mike Riley is a horrible 1-12 ATS during the first month of the season. Tonight he will be facing the sixth ranked team on the road.

Oregon is OREGON ST is 6-22 ATS in road games in September games since 1992 while TCU is 15-5 ATS when playing on a Saturday over the last 3 seasons.

This is an easy one.......Take the Horned Frogs

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish come in with a new offensive coordinator, and new QB, Dayne Crist, and a new defensive coordinator. The Irish will put a senior class out on the field that is 16-21 the last three seasons

The Boilermakers start a QB, Robert Marve who is surrounded by a deep cast of receivers including probably one of the nations best in Keith Smith. That alone should allow them to score and keep the game close.

Supporting Angles: Playing against a home team (NOTRE DAME) that is a poor passing defense from last season and allowed a comp pct of 58% or worse, with 5 offensive starters returning, in the first month of the season is 33-5 ATS over the last 10 seasons. NOTRE DAME is 1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) as a favorite over the last 2 seasons.

Way too many points to give in a situation like this. Take Purdue

The Angels' continue to struggle as the season winds down and is only 3-7 the last 10 days.

Oakland on the other hand is 20-5 in day games at McAfee Coliseum. In addition, the A's send pitching gem, Trevor Cahill, to the hill. Cahill has a sparkling 2.82 ERA in 24 starts.

The Angels counter with Jered Weaver who has had a good season but has struggled on the road as his ERA baloons to 4.60.

Good price with a home team and the superior pitcher this afternoon.

The Spartans come into this game looking to atone for a horrible end to the 2009 campaign that saw they lose 42-14 to Penn State and then have 11 players suspended for the bowl loss to Texas Tech. The Spartans come in with an established AB in Kirk Cousins and plenty of depth at RB. On defense the Spartans have a solid group of line backers.

To start off the season Western Michigan is 0-4 SU and ATS in openers under HC Bill Cubit, losing to the spread by 46.5 points in those games. What won't help matters is that they also loss veteran QB, Tim Hiller.

Last season they took on the Spartans and were down 35-0 at halftime, and allowed 30 first downs and 602 yards.

One of the bigger mismatches on today's card. Don't worry about the number in this one, take MICHIGAN STATE

The key to the Panthers' season could be how quickly redshirt sophomore quarterback Tino Sunseri can replace Bill Stull, who helped Pittsburgh score 417 points last season. Sunseri going into this season has just 17 career pass attempts. The Panthers also have star RB Dion Lewis but he could struggle as Pittsburbh has had to shuffle the offensive line. Another issue going against Pittsburgh is that Uath has won 21 of 22 at home versus non-conference opponents.

Utah is coming off its ninth straight bowl victory and will be lookikng for a third straight double digit win sdason. The Utes will also be starting a young QB in Jordan Wynn who is a sophomore. However, he thre for 1329 yards with 8 TD's and 4 interctiions and was the offensive MVP in their bowl game where is was 26 of 36 for 338 yards and three TDs. The Utes also have senior RB Eddie Wind who ran for 1,069 yards with 12 TD's last season.

This is the second meeting between these teams. In the first one Utah defeated Pittsburgh 35-7 in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl to cap off a 12-0 season.

Veteran offensive line and QB for the Utes spell win. Take Utah in this one.
