NCAA Football & NFL STAR SELECTIONS for Monday, December 26th, 2005
MOTOR CITY BOWL
2 STAR SELECTION (2.5% of Bankroll) – Memphis -4 over Akron
1 STAR SELECTION (2% of Bankroll) – Akron vs. Memphis OVER 49
The Zips make their first-ever Division I-A Bowl game appearance when they try to tame the Tigers in the Motor City Bowl in Detroit at Ford Field on Monday. Akron earned their first bowl appearance by winning four of their last five contests, including a thrilling 31-30 victory over Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference title game. It was the first conference title for Akron in school history and it came shortly after the team posted its first ever MAC East Division title.
Memphis will be making their third consecutive bowl appearance and their fifth in school history. After winning their first three bowl games, the Tigers were embarrassed by Bowling Green, 52-35, in last season's GMAC Bowl and will be looking for a better outcome here. Memphis opened its season with three losses in its first five games; however, they closed out the season with a 4-2 mark, winning their last two contests against Southern Mississippi and Marshall.
The Memphis offense begins and ends with DeAngelo Williams. For the third consecutive season, Williams was named Conference-USA Player of the Year which only begins to explain how important this back has been for the Tigers. Memphis has had to deal with an exorbitant amount of injuries this season, including season-ending injuries to its top two quarterbacks, Patrick Byrne and Will Hudgens. The Tigers currently have wide receiver Maurice Avery under center and despite all the troubles with the passing attack, Williams was still able to churn out an impressive 1,726 yards along with 15 touchdowns. On the season, the Tigers are averaging 26 ppg, while averaging 387 ypg.
Defensively the Tigers have been solid throughout the season, holding the opposition to just 22 ppg, while allowing just under 400 ypg. The defense has played strong against the run, surrendering just 133 ypg on the ground; however, the team has struggled against the pass permitting 264 ypg through the air.
As for Akron, the Zips finished the season averaging just 23 ppg, while collecting 375 ypg. The Zips only posted 112 ypg on the ground; however, the team was very impressive through the air, averaging a solid 262 ypg. Akron has a talented running back of its own in Brett Biggs. Not in the same realm as Williams, Briggs still had a solid season, rushing for 1,184 yards and 10 touchdowns. Biggs also played a big part in the passing attack, as he grabbed 61 passes for 456 yards and three scores. As for the Zips' aerial assault, Luke Getsy was impressive in his first season as the team's starter, throwing for a robust 3,000 yards, while tossing 19 touchdowns against 12 interceptions.
While the offense was efficient for the most part this season, it was the Zips' defense that got Akron to this point of the season, as the unit allowed just 23 ppg behind just 325 ypg. The team had some trouble against the run, surrendering 143 ypg, while being solid against the pass, holding the opposition to just 181 ypg through the air.
While the Zips' defense has been strong this year, this defensive unit has not even faced a Bowl team on the season or a running back as talented as Williams. Northern Illinois was able to open some big holes against the Zips' defensive front in the running game in the MAC Championship Game but Akron survived with a miracle pass and catch in the final moments of the game. They aren’t likely to have lightning strike twice in the same place.
A strong Bowl Handicapping Key we look for is a senior superstar QB or RB that is capable of nearly single-handedly propelling their school to victory. Players who stand above and beyond the normal threshold for stars in college football, players who played all four years, or who lifted their teams to unaccustomed levels will be very determined to go out in a blaze of glory. The rare RBs that are the true leaders of their team and beloved by teammates are also capable of generating such emotion from their teams. DeAngelo Williams is clearly such a player and we look for him to make his final collegiate contest a memorable one.
Memphis also qualifies as a play ON team for a strong College Bowl POWER SYSTEM. Favorites of 4+ points with 11+ days rest off 2 SU wins in their last 2 games and an underdog SU loss in their game before that are 11-0 SU & ATS vs. opponents not off a conference home favorite SU win of 11+ points.
Akron squeaked into a Bowl game by pulling out the miracle 1-point win over Northern Illinois becoming only the 4th team to win a conference championship by 1 or 2 points. The 3 previous teams went 0-3 SU & ATS in Bowl games, losing by nearly 18 points and failing to cover by more than 2 TDs a game on average. The Zips also qualify as a Play AGAINST team in another POWER SYTEM which states: Play AGAINST a Bowl team (not a favorite of 10+ points or underdog of more than 6 points) off a SU win as an underdog of 10+ points vs. an opponent not off a road favorite SU win. Since 1990, these teams are 0-10 ATS, failing to cover by 2 TDs a game on average. This includes Nevada’s spread loss in the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve.
After dominating this bowl series for four games prior, the MAC has fallen ATS in all of the last three, and Akron is likely to make it four in a row as they get run over by DeAngelo Williams and the Tigers, although the Zips should be able to move the ball through the air and score enough points to help push this game OVER the total.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: MEMPHIS 38 AKRON 24
ACTUAL FINAL SCORE: MEMPHIS 38 AKRON 31
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
1 STAR SELECTION (2% of Bankroll)
New England -6½ over NY JETS
The Patriots appear to be back and ready to make a run for an unprecedented 3rd straight Super Bowl, as the team has been dominating of late, winning its last three games by a composite score of 79-10. That run started with a 16-3 takedown of the Jets back in Week 13, who they now face in this contest. New England was 28-0 home winners over Tampa Bay last Sunday, clinching the AFC East title in the process.
The Jets will be playing for little more than pride on Monday night . One week after defeating the Raiders, 26-10, Herman Edwards' club was a 24-20 loser in Miami last Sunday.
The New England offense will once again be controlled by quarterback Tom Brady, who entered Week 16 ranked atop the NFL list in passing yards. The Pats are second in the league in passing offense and could be challenged somewhat here by the Jets' defensive strength this season, which has been a pass defense that ranks third in the NFL.
That’s why establishing the run on Monday night figures to be a priority for New England. The team ranks just 24th in NFL rushing offense and will be looking to establish a running game going into the playoffs. They were limited to jus 83 yards on the ground last week; however, that was against Tampa Bay’s stiff defense, which is strong against the run. Now, the Patriots will going up against New York’s rush defense that ranks just 28th in the NFL against the run. The Jets could not keep Miami running backs Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown in check last week, as the duo combined for 115 yards in a winning effort.
Fresh off his finest game as a pro to date is Jets quarterback Brooks Bollinger. Still, the Jets are 27th in the league in passing offense and will be operating against a New England defense that that has been improving by leaps and bounds in recent weeks. Last week they held Buccaneers’ QB Chris Simms to 155 yards through the air.
Without future Hall of Fame running back Curtis Martin, the Jets managed to do some damage on the ground with rookie Cedric Houston. He’ll likely have a very rough go of it here, against a Pats’ rush defense that has progressed greatly since the return of LB Tedy Bruschi at midseason.
The Patriots are still battling for playoff position, as they have a legitimate chance to move up to the #3 seed. Additionally, they don’t want to lose their current momentum going into the playoffs, so New England should approach this game the same as any other. While New York would love to beat the World Champs, the Jets offense simply doesn't stand much of a chance against the re- energized New England defense.
Since the start of the 2002 season, New England is an amazing 11-0-1 ATS off a spread win vs. a division opponent. They also qualify as a Play ON team for some NFL POWER SYSTEMS. Monday road teams not getting more than 10 points are 10-0 ATS vs. opponents they outgained by more than 120 yards in the previous same season meeting. Another system reveals the likelihood of New England continuing their stellar play. Non-Sunday teams (not favored by more than 11 points) off ATS wins of more than 11 points in the last 2 weeks are 14-0 ATS vs. opponent off scoring less than 42 points last week.
Meanwhile, the hapless Jets are 0-11-1 ATS in division home SU losses, while in the reverse role, New England is 27-3 ATS in their last 30 such victories, including 8-0 ATS since the start of the 2002 season, cremating the pointspread by more than 17 points a game on average. Additionally, they are 0-6 ATS at home vs. the Pats since 1999. New York also qualifies as a play Against team in a POWER SYSTEM, which states: Play AGAINST a Monday home team (not a favorite of more than 10 points) not off a division SU loss of 17+ points in its last game vs. an opponent off a SU win of 20+ points last week. Over the past 10 years, these teams are 0-12 SU & ATS, failing to cover by 10 points a game on average.
With 2 of the Jets starting D-line out, New England should be able to establish a strong running game and win this one going away.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: NEW ENGLAND 28 NY JETS 13
ACTUAL FINAL SCORE: NEW ENGLAND 31 NY JETS 21
