Week 5 betting news & notes


Penn State Nittany Lions at Illinois Fighting Illini (+3, 46)

The Illini are only getting a field goal for Saturday’s game despite the 63-10 thrashing the Nittany Lions laid down in their last trip to Champaign in 2005.

Oddsmakers may be predicating the line on Illinois’ results against schools it has faced both this year and last. The Illini lost to Syracuse and Indiana at home in 2006. However, it beat each school handily as a road favorite this time around, racking up 894 total yards of offense and 68 points in the process.

Penn State’s offense has taken a downturn away from Happy Valley. The Nits have averaged only 13.6 points over their seven games away from Beaver Stadium since the start of 2006 and are 2-4-1 against the spread (ATS) in those games.


Florida Atlantic Owls at Kentucky Wildcats (-24, 67)

Kentucky’s the hottest thing in college football, going 9-1 straight-up (SU) and 8-1 ATS over its last 10 games. That includes a handful of upsets along the way. The tough part for the school’s backers now is to score a payday with the ‘Cats heavily favored.

The Wildcats must maintain their intensity after back-to-back draining wins over Louisville and Arkansas. In addition, SEC East rival South Carolina is looming on the schedule.

The Owls might be the perfect opponent to prevent a Kentucky letdown. Florida Atlantic saves itself for its conference battles and is 1-6 ATS when visiting BCS-conference opponents since joining top-level football in 2004. The average score in those road “payday” games has been 47-9 in favor of FAU’s opponents.


Iowa State Cyclones at Nebraska Cornhuskers (-21 ½, 56 ½)

The line suggests it will be a mismatch in the Midwest, but favored Nebraska has some defensive questions to answer before assuming its third straight win over Big 12 North rival Iowa State.

Conceding 49 points to USC is one thing, but allowing 40 to Ball State is quite another. The Huskers’ recent shootouts with both schools add to a long line of high-scoring games in Lincoln. Twelve of Nebraska’s last 14 home games with a total have gone ‘over’ the closing total, including all three this season.

Iowa State scored 35 points in its only road game this season and has already shocked another big Midwestern rival this year when it toppled Iowa as a 17 ½-point home underdog.


Louisville Cardinals at North Carolina State Wolfpack (+8, 71)

N.C. State might not be in a position to move the ball against Louisville’s porous pass defense. Wolfpack quarterback Harrison Beck has connected on less than 50 percent of his passes in his last three starts, tossing six interceptions without a single touchdown during that span.

Bettors should also keep in mind that N.C. State hasn’t scored more than 24 points against an FBS opponent since its 2004 season finale against East Carolina.

The Wolfpack, 16-30-1 ATS since 2004, gave up 608 total yards of offense to Clemson last week. That’s more than the Cardinals have allowed in any game this year.


Maryland Terrapins at Rutgers Scarlet Knights (-18, 47)

Maryland has suffered consecutive letdowns, failing to truly challenge West Virginia two weeks ago before collapsing at Wake Forest last Saturday. The losses drop the Terps to 4-12 ATS in their last 16 lined games.

Conversely, Rutgers is proving to be as safe a bet as Maryland is hazardous. The Knights are 12-3-1 ATS since the start of last year and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite.

Rutgers linebackers Ryan D’Imperio and Blair Bines are back in the mix and ready to boost the Knights’ already formidable defense. The Knights have allowed only 60 total points over their last seven non-conference games.


UNLV Rebels at Nevada Wolf Pack (-3 ½, 51 ½)

The total remains high in the battle for the Fremont Cannon despite the recent low scores in this state rivalry. Only one of the teams’ last 10 meetings has exceeded 51 ½ points. UNLV is also one of the nation’s top under bets, with all four of its games this season slipping under the total.

The Rebels have found success on the ground this year, winning both games when they complied more rushing yards than passing yards. UNLV passed for more yards than it rushed in all 12 games last year and went only 2-10 SU in the process.

The loss of incumbent quarterback Rocky Hinds over the summer was expected to cripple the Rebels, but redshirt freshman Travis Dixon has played as well as could have been expected. UNLV is 3-1 ATS this year.


North Texas Mean Green at Arkansas Razorbacks (-35 ½, 67)

The Razorbacks are laying a ton of points for having such a banged-up offense. Star running back Darren McFadden will suit up Saturday, but he skipped Tuesday’s practice to have a precautionary MRI on his sore knee.

Meanwhile, top receiver Marcus Monk is still sidelined and freshman split end Crosby Tuck, who has two of the team’s four receiving touchdowns this year, is out for the season with a broken elbow. Expected starting tight end Ben Cleveland was lost for the season before it even started with a neck injury. Dependable third-string tailback Michael Smith has been suspended by the team.

Arkansas is 0-3 ATS when favored by three touchdowns or more since the start of last season.


UAB Blazers at Tulsa Golden Hurricane (-22 ½, 69 ½)

Saturday marks the third time this season in which the Blazers have been a heavy underdog. UAB’s first-half performance has determined its backers’ fate in the team’s first two games in the role.

The Blazers trailed Michigan State 42-0 midway through the second quarter in the season opener at East Lansing and never had a chance at covering the spread. However, a week later in Tallahassee, UAB jumped to a 17-3 lead in the opening half and lost a close game as a 37-point underdog to Florida State.

This is Tulsa’s first game as an overwhelming favorite with Todd Graham as head coach. Tulsa was 5-5 ATS as a double-digit favorite with Steve Kragthorpe as their head coach.

Week 4 betting notes


Baltimore at Cleveland

The Ravens look to win three straight in the series with the Browns for the first time since taking four in a row from Sept. 26, 1999-Nov. 26, 2000.

Baltimore, 6-2 on the road last year, has won five of eight at Cleveland Browns Stadium. The previous two matchups there were decided by four points or fewer, the last being the Ravens' 15-14 victory Sept. 24, 2006.


Chicago at Detroit

The Bears have taken four straight against the Lions, winning 26-21 in Detroit on Dec. 24 in the last matchup. Jon Kitna had a 99.5 passer rating in two games against Chicago last season, throwing three touchdowns and no interceptions.


Green Bay at Minnesota

Brett Favre lost nine of his first 11 starts at the Metrodome, but has since won three of four games there while throwing for 1,221 yards with 10 TDs and two interceptions. He threw for 347 yards and two scores in last year's 23-17 win at Minnesota.


Houston at Atlanta

The Texans are already off to the best start in franchise history. In took nine games for them to record their third win last season.

Houston beat Atlanta 17-13 at home in 2003, the only other meeting between the teams.


N.Y. Jets at Buffalo

The Bills may have a chance to get their offense in gear this week, as the Jets haven't been too good on defense. New York is yielding 386.0 yards per game, including 264.7 through the air - both the fifth-worst averages in the NFL.


Oakland at Miami

Miami has history on its side against the Raiders. The Dolphins have won six straight in the series and haven't lost at home to Oakland since 1990, when the Raiders were based in Los Angeles and had Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen carrying the football.


St. Louis at Dallas

Including the postseason, the Rams have won each of their last four games in Dallas, where they haven't lost since a 29-17 defeat Oct. 18, 1981. They beat the Cowboys 20-10 at Texas Stadium in the teams' last meeting Jan. 1, 2006.


Seattle at San Francisco

The Seahawks had won six straight against the Niners before last season, when San Francisco took both meetings. The Niners held Shaun Alexander to 110 total rushing yards in those games, including a season-low 37 on 17 carries in San Francisco on Nov. 19.

Frank Gore had a career-high 212 yards in that 20-14 win, and compiled 356 total rushing yards against Seattle last season - nearly 100 more than he had against any other opponent.


Tampa Bay at Carolina

The Panthers have won seven of their previous eight meetings with the Bucs. In the last matchup, Steve Smith had eight catches for 149 yards and a touchdown to lead Carolina to a 24-10 win on Nov. 13.

Smith has reached 100 yards receiving in each of his last four games against Tampa Bay.


Denver at Indianapolis

The Colts have won three of their last five regular-season games against Denver.


Kansas City at San Diego

The Chiefs have lost their last three visits to San Diego.


Pittsburgh at Arizona

This game gives the Steelers another opportunity to continue their dominance over NFC teams. They are 13-1 in their last 14 meetings against the opposite conference, including a victory over Seattle in Super Bowl XL.


Philadelphia at N.Y. Giants

The Eagles and Giants split last year's two meetings, with each team winning on the road.


New England at Cincinnati

Cincinnati's defense is giving up 402.7 yards and 31.7 points per game, both fourth-worst in the NFL.

Opponents have scored touchdowns all five times they have moved inside the Patriots' 20-yard line.

NFL
Total bias: Week 4 over/under plays


Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers – under 38 ½

Herm Edwards has successfully changed the Chiefs from the dynamic offensive force they once were to the boring, predictable, conservative unit they are now. Running back Larry Johnson can’t get any breathing room because the passing attack is non-existent.

The Chargers will grab an early lead and let LaDainian Tomlinson find his groove the rest of the way.


Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants – under 47 ½

There are two things I’m not buying after last weekend’s results: the Eagles offense is fixed after a 56-point performance, and the Giants defense is better after stopping the Washington Redskins on first-and-goal to preserve a 24-17 victory.

Brian Westbrook is bothered by an abdominal injury (what else is new?) and that could have a huge impact on Philly’s potential against the Giants. He’ll probably play, but if he’s limited Donovan McNabb won’t look nearly as good as he did last Sunday.


New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals – over 52 ½

I think we’re going to see lots of over-the-top touchdown celebrations in this one. Bill Belichick knows running the ball is the key to beating the Bengals but it’s going to be hard not to take a couple of shots downfield with Randy Moss ready to test Cincinnati’s secondary.

The Bungles are always good for some turnovers (11 in their first three outings) and the Pats should turn those mistakes into points.

Last week's record: 2-1

Season record: 7-2
