Fridays MLB Winner...Plus NCAA Football Saturday!


BIG WEEKEND COMING!

Looking for a big weekend, and will start tonight with a big MLB winner. Had a strong 2-1 day yesterday, should of been 3-0 but Missouri decided to give up 27 points in the 4th quarter!!

Boston Red Sox @ LA Angels (-105)-

The Angels looked great last night in a decisive victory vs the team who always spoils thier playoff dreams. Lackey shut down the Red sox for 7 innings, and then Oliver cleaned it up at the end. The Angels will look to get to Beckett early today, and let Weaver do his thing. Beckett is not the same pitcher he used to be becuase of some lingering injuries. He has over a 4 ERA in his last 3 starts, and even though he is usually amazing in the playoffs he had a 8.79 ERA in the playoffs last year. Weaver has a 2.65 ERA in his last 3 starts, and has been solid down the stretch. The Angels have been solid down the stretch, and want to travel to Boston being up 2-0 in this series. They are ready to redeem themselves vs the team who always dominates them in the playoffs. Getting a great line on this one! Angels (-105)

NCAA- Loving the Dogs!!

Auburn @ Arkansas (+2.5)

I love home dogs in general, especially when the road favortie has proved nothing to me all season. Arkansas has a great quarterback in Mallett, and he has the arm to go deep vs this secondary. Mallett has thrown 11 touchdowns vs only 2 interceptions on the year, and has been solid since his transfer out of Michigan. Arkansas also beat Auburn on the road last season, and they are much improved. I know Auburn is now ranked, but their schedule has been very favorable to say the least. This will be a tough in conference road game for them. Auburn is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 on the road, and Arkansas is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 as a home dog. Arkansas (+2.5)

UGA @ Tennnessee ( -1.5)-

Pretty confused about this game because UGA should be favored here. Tenn has looked every bit as awful as everyone thought they would be. UGA also beat this same Tennessee team 26-14 last year. Cox has been very inconsistent, but as long as he stays away from Eric Berry he should have a good game. Caleb King should also be able to find some holes on the ground. It took a B.S. penalty from UGA to upset the #4 team in the country last week, and they will be amped up for this rivalry game. Crompton is an awful football player, enough said. UGA is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as a road dog, and tenn is 3-7 in their last ten as a favorite. UGA (+1.5)

Houston @ Mississippi St (-2.5)

I still feel like this Houston team has been disrespected, even after a rough one last week. I think they may have been looking ahead to their chance to beat an SEC team. They should be able to come back strong vs Miss. St and put up some nice numbers. Mississippi State looked awfull vs Georgia Tech last week, and they ran all over them. The quarterback has been a huge question mark for this team all year, and they have no identity behind the center. On the other side Casey Keenum is a stud, and has thrown 13 touchdowns to only 2 int's on the year. Houston is 4-0 ATS as a dog, and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs the SEC. Miss. St. is 0-5 in their last 5 as a favorite, and 0-4 in their last 4 vs non conference foes. Houston (+2.5)

Florida @ LSU (+7.5)

This should be a fun game, and a lot closer then most people expect. LSU is a great home team, and even better at home at night! Last time the Gators traveled to Baton Rouge they lost, and they could lose this game as well. Tim "JC" Teebow is coming off of a tough hit, and a concussion and there is not telling how he will react. He really hasnt had to fight through an injury before during his tenure at Florida. I think LSU will put a lot of pressure on him, and try to hit him early. He might also come out a little tentative, and Florida might have a safe playbook for him. LSU is 11-3 ats in their last 14 as an underog, and i think they will e in this the whole game. LSU (+7.5)

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD NIGHT...check out nadabutwinners twitter!
