Had a nice opening night as I went 3-1 and Still have a pending Teaser for tonight. Let's have another solid night. BOL to you all this season. I will be adding Plays For Saturday later tonight.
*** What is a Power Angle Play? Handicapping and betting takes some work yes, but also should be fun as well. A Power Angle Play is something that I came up with a few years ago and really is nothing more than a fun name for a play. I won't do GOY, or GOM or even GOW, so i use this name for some plays I like. Take note that I do mot make a pick based on the trend or angle alone. I have passed up many time plays i could have made PA plays because they had strong trend but just didn't like it when I break down the games. I Make a play a PA play when I really like a play that is SUPPORTED by a strong angle or trend. That is what A Power Angle Play is***
TOP PLAYS
3 UNIT PLAYS
(Risking $35.00 To Win 31.82) Boise State/ Mississippi Under 54.5: The Mississippi Rebels return QB Bo Wallace, but also lose 2 of their top 3 WRs from last year and the replacements are rather inexperienced. The Rebels also have some questions along the offense and their running game is average at best. this is not a team that will win many games with just their offense. Its a good thing they don't have to because they have a defense that will have one of the best in the SEC, if not nation. Led by the Nkemdiche brothers this defense is stacked with 9 starters back, while overall they return 85.4% of their tackles from last year, which is 3rd in the nation. The Boise offense does not look like it will be as explosive as in years past. They do have Grant Hendrick back at QB and their top WR and top RB from last year do return, but this is also a team that is going through a coaching change,plus they have questions along the OL, where just 26 career starts return, which is 121st in the nation. Defense is not what one thinks when they think of the Broncos, but every year this defense is underrated and have allowed 18.7 ppg or less in 5 of their last 6 years. Last year was their worst as they allowed 24.8 ppg, but also had just 4 starters back. This year they have 8 starters back and overall return 82.8% off their tackles, which is 8th in the nation. The Under is 4-1 in Mississippi's last 5 games on Thursday, while the Under is 4-1 In Boise's last 5 games on Fieldturf. I see this one in the mid to lower 40's at best.
(Risking $30.00 To Win $27.27) Ohio State -14 Over Navy: Preparing for the Navy Option attack is never easy, but the Buckeyes do get a break here as they have had all summer to prepare for this offense. Yes the Buckeyes will be without Braxton Miller, but the more digging I do the better I feel that they will be Ok with JT Barrett behind center. JT has been working with the first team offense are through the offseason and has also had a few weeks knowing that he will be the starting QB. Navy comes back with a very experienced roster, but they really are outclassed here, especially on the defensive side of the ball and just won't score enough points to keep this one close. You also have to believe that JT and the rest of the Buckeye roster wants to prove that they will be fine without Miller. This is a statement game for them. Buckeyes by 21+ here.
POWER ANGLE PLAY
(Risking $30.00 To Win 27.27) BYU/ UConn UNDER 54: This one is just screaming under even though the money is heading the other way. I know that BYU is missing two starting DBs, but they are also missing a couple players on offense, including top RB Williams. The Cougars still have plenty of weapons on offense, including dual threat Taysom Hill, but let's take note here that Bob Diaco is now the HC of the Huskies and he is a defensive minded coach as he was Notre Dame's DC. It's also interesting to note that Diaco's defenses the last 2 years have held BYU to just 14 ppg and 329 ypg. The Huskies allowed 30.3 ppg last year, which is very unlike this team and I expect them to get back to playing tough hard nosed defense under Diaco. The Huskies are normally a conservative team and I expect them to stay that way. They have a very average offense and will need to rely on their defense to win games. This average offense will be facing a BYU team that doesn't get much publicity for their defense, but take note that they have allowed more that 22.1 ppg in each of the last 6 years and this defense is tough once again, even with missing some starters. Days of the week mean little in MLB as far as trends go, but it can be big in CFB and the NFL and below is a strong won that i have been following involving the Cougars over the last few years. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- The BYU Cougars are 14-2-1 to the Under in their last 17 games on Friday night.
(Risking $25.00 To Win $22.73) 6 Point Teaser Tulsa -.5 & Colorado State +9
BEST OF THE REST
(Risking $15.00 To Win $13.64) Temple +14 over VANDERBILT: Going with the Owls here. Experience is a huge factor early in the season and the Owls have it as the Commodores are ranked 124th in the nation in experience. Vandy will be breaking in a new QB, while The Owls have PJ Walker back after he ignited their offense in the 2nd half of last year, helping them average 33.3 pg in their last 6 games. The Owls also have a pair of solid backs and a group of WR’s that will be much better this ear with PJ in their the whole time. The commodores not only lost their QB, but their top 2 WRs as well. On defense the Commodores bring back just 4 starters, while the Owls have 8 back on that side of the ball. Temple will be an improved team this year, especially on offense with PJ Walker being in there for the whole year. The Owls also have a big edge in experience and the commodores have gone through a coaching change. Look for the Owls offense to put up enough points to keep this one close. KEY TREND: Temple is 6-0-1 ATS their last 7 games in August.
(Risking $12.00 To Win 10.91 Houston/ UTSA Under 56: Both teams bring a ton back this year on offense, but both have defenses will be very tough as well. The Cougars defense improved last year by 15 ppg over 2012 and with 85.45 of their tackles and 9 starters back on that side they should be just as good this year. The Roadrunners allowed 26.3 ppg last year, but they have 10 starters back and a whopping 89% of their tackles (2nd in nation) from last year. This will be a tough defense this year. 19 starters are back combined on these offenses, but this game will be all about defense as both have a ton of experience back on that side of the ball and usually (Unless your Texas A&M) the defenses are ahead of the offenses early in the year. Maybe 50 points here at best and that's stretching it.
(Risking $15.00 To Win $13.64) Wake Forest/ UL Monroe Under 46
