Saturday's Selections ...

Note:

Time to build off Arkansas last Saturday.

As solid a top play in college football as I have had in the last few years. A 24 1/2 point dog almost wins the game outright. By banging home this 2nd straight 50 dime winner today I will have pushed 50 dime football releases here in 2009 to 5-1. I'm talking 5 out of 6 with 50 dime top play winners this year. If can hit 5 out of every 6 top play releases with 50 dimers, I would take that for the rest of my handicapping career. Today is the day I get to push that record to 5-1 and I really feel, just as I did with Florida over Oklahoma, Arizona over Steelers, Saints over Jets and Arkansas over Florida, this game does the same thing today. WIN. Today is the day things continue turn for me. To continue something truly special in college football and keep this current rally going.

Now sit back and enjoy the ride because trust me my friends, it's going to be a wild ride.



50 DIME - DUKE BLUE DEVILS - I know it's hard for people to accept Duke as nothing more than a basketball school but trust me folks, it's becoming a football school right before your very eyes. And the reason why is David Cutcliffe. If you don't know who he is then allow me to introduce him to you. He was Peyton Manning's offensive coordinator at Tennessee and he was Eli's head coach at Ole Miss. The man knows how to coach offense. The Duke passing attack is the 8th best passing attack in the country and coming off a bye week facing a Maryland defense ranked 67th defending the air game, well let's just say Cutcliffe will be flat out dialed in on how to attack this young secondary of Maryland having 2 weeks to prepare. I had this team when they went into NC State as a 16 point underdog and not only won the game outright but they won it outright by 3 touchdowns. Duke has the better offense, the better defense, and without question the better QB in Thaddeus Lewis, and the better coach and not a single ounce of doubt in my mind they win this game by 14 points or more. Maryland can't get out of their way offensively ranked 88th in the country but even more alarming that that, how about 20 turnovers in 7 games this year. They can't hold on to the football. When you start turning the ball over 5 times at home to Rutgers, 4 times to Middle Tennessee State and Virginia, well let's just say it's time to call it a year. Another problem facing this young Maryland team today is this is only their 3rd road game of the year having lost the first two by an average margin of 25 points. This game today is a game about 2 teams heading in opposite directions. Duke is on the rise while Maryland is on the fall and they will be waving bye to each other as they pass each other on the ladder of success. with Duke being the team on the rise. All about Duke having all the success they want through the air versus a Maryland team that quite frankly can't get out of their own way.



50 dime winner Duke.



15 DIME - KANSAS JAYHAWKS - Motivation. Will Bob Stoopes be able to motivate his team to play this game today off the loss to Texas and BCS dreams gone? My answer is no. Kansas is in a great spot here catching a boat load of points at home against a team deflated and playing with a backup QB. You couldn't ask for a better spot for Kansas to get the Sooners than they get today. The offenses match up very well with each other as the Sooners come in #15 in the country while Kansas comes in #16 so there will be some points scored. However, with losses to BYU and Texas on a neutral field and the loss to Miami/Florida on the road, this Oklahoma team is 0-3 away from Norman this year. Listen, no doubt about it, Kansas got caught looking ahead to this game last week at Colorado and they paid for it dearly but now with that out of the way, this game means everything to them and they have the talent to compete. I just don't believe Oklahoma will be able to run away from Kansas in this game and I will gladly grab a full touchdown with the Jayhawks today.

15 dime dog shocker - KANSAS


15 DIME - WASHINGTON HUSKIES - They were good to me over USC and I will go to the well with them here. I know Oregon has been putting up some great numbers but I truly believe the linemaker has over adjusted the line here based on public perception of this Oregon team. They shouldn't have beaten Utah at home but the QB of the Utah imploded in the 4th quarter and handed them the win. Yes, they hammered a flat CAL team who didn't show up because they were already mentally facing USC at home the next week and last week UCLA turned it over 3 times losing by 14. This Washington team is good folks and they have been competitive in every game this year with exception of their game at Stanford but who could blame them in that one coming off the upset of USC the week before. The bottom line is you are getting great value with the Huskies and it's value I will not pass up and it wouldn't suprise me if they stepped up and delivered the outright win just like they did over USC. In a game I feel will go down to the wire and is without question a single digit game, I will gladly back the juicy home dog to bark loudly today.

Take it from a Kansas fan, OU is going to roll into lawrence this weekend. KU's defense it terrible and they have no business being on the same field as OU. Take OU heavily and enjoy your winnings, as always GL

He's won 5 in a row on college football sides. Which means he's due to lose 20 in a row.

Customer Service Note:

The Blue Devils were -6 early in the week, but by Friday had dropped to -4 at most places, including the Hilton in Vegas and Sportsbook.com offshore. Thus the ruling on this game being a push. Certainly, there were small variations around on this contest, especially offshore where certain books - notorious for being overpriced by at least 1/2 point on all favorites - had Duke at -4 1/2, but that is why shopping for the best price is encouraged. And with this play having been released by 11 PM Eastern on Friday evening, the opportunity to easily secure -4 was there.

A side note: Many handicappers, such as Sean Michaels - who discusses the issue in one of his free videos at his site - would have suggested buying down the 1/2 point off -4, and in some cases in the past, Lang has done so as well, but in this case that advice was not offered.

what a joke... he put it up way before it hit -4. Really another lose for Lang
