colorado cheerleadersThe number 12 ranked Oklahoma State will look to avoid tripping up on Thursday against Colorado in a game that can be seen on ESPN at 7:45pm ET. The Cowboys are 8-2 on the season and 5-1 in the Big 12. They won’t be going to the Big 12 title game but they can still reach a major bowl if they continue to win. Their chances on Thursday would definitely be helped if starting quarterback Zac Robinson is healthy. He was injured last week in the win over Texas Tech. Oklahoma State is an 18-point wagering odds favorite at SBG Global.

The Cowboys expect Robinson to play but if he can’t go then backup Alex Cate would get the start. "We want to do what’s best for (Robinson) first," head coach Mike Gundy said. "If he’s not ready to play then we’re not going to play him. … We want to do what’s best for him and his future. Then we’ll do what’s best for the team next." The Cowboys might be able to get past a poor Colorado team even if Robinson doesn’t play. Last year the Cowboys defeated Colorado by a score of 30-17 as Robinson ran for one touchdown and threw for another.
 
 
Colorado continues to underperform with head coach Gary Barnett at the helm. They have lost three of their last four including 17-10 at Iowa State last week. The Buffs have been horrible on the road, losing their last 11 games. They have been outscored by an average of 14.4 points in their five road games this season. Colorado hasn’t had much success on either side of the ball. Quarterback Tyler Hansen was 18 of 38 for 258 yards with one touchdown and one interception last week.
 
Take a look at the NCAA Football Wagering stats for Thursday’s game. The Buffaloes are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 road games. The Cowboys are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite. The Cowboys are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games. The Cowboys are 37-16-2 ATS in their last 55 games as a favorite.
 
The Under is 6-2 in the Buffaloes last 8 games as a road underdog. The Under is 4-0 in the Cowboys last 4 games as a favorite. The Under is 4-1 in the Cowboys last 5 games overall. The Over is 32-13 in the Cowboys last 45 home games.

Georgia vs Florida Odds College Football Wagering

gators cheerleadersFlorida to treat bettors?

One of the biggest college football wagering games Saturday is also the biggest party; the “World’s Largest Cocktail Party” between Florida and rival Georgia. The Florida Gators are a two-touchdown wagering odds favorite at Sportsbook.com, but that could be a steep price to pay for a game of this magnitude.

Though this year’s contest won’t carry the same panache as the last couple, it is no less important to its participants. Florida (7-0. 3-3 ATS) is ranked first in the BCS but doesn’t have the same offensive power of a year ago.
 
Even after supplying misfortune on Mississippi State 29-19, coach Urban Meyer is far from pleased. “We kind of operate around here on urgency. That’s not something we’re ashamed of,” Meyer said. “We’re not playing perfect, and there are times we’re not playing very good at all. We’re not on the same planet statistically as last year. I’m not happy where we are at right now.”

Fortunately, Meyer and Florida can fall back on a superb defensive unit that leads the SEC in about every statistic and is the best nationally in total defense. Under coach Meyer, the Gators are 12-1 (7-5-1 ATS) against their so-called Big Three opponents, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida State. Florida is 9-1 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record over the last two seasons.
 
Two years ago, Georgia coach Mark Richt used a little chicanery to fire up his Georgia (4-3, 2-5 ATS) squad and it worked with 42-30 upset as touchdown underdogs. He might need something even crazier, since nobody will compare this Bulldogs team talent-wise to that club. 
 
After falling to LSU and Tennessee, coach Richt went back to basics and it paid off against Vanderbilt with a 34-10 road win. The Bulldogs were crisper offensively than they had been since the Arkansas contest. The offensive line fired off the ball and coordinator Mike Bobo left the press box to be more involved with QB Joe Cox. Georgia is 10-5-1 ATS in neutral site contests against ranked teams the last decade and 17-6 ATS away from home after a bye week.

Florida is 16-3 and 12-6-1 ATS the last 19 years in this matchup, with the favorite 2-5-1 against the number. The SU winner is 23-3-1 ATS since 1982 in this rivalry. The StatFox Power Line says Florida by 19, perhaps suggesting that there is room to spare for those backing the favorite at Sportsbook.com.

College Football Wagering Odds: Miami vs Florida State

Filed Under (Odds Alerts) by Stan on 07-09-2009

Tagged Under : , , , , , ,

miami vs fsuThe bitter Florida sports wagering rivalry between Florida State & Miami had gotten rather dull in recent years. However, with both teams supposedly headed back towards greater respectability, they will play once again on Labor Day night. Host FSU is a 6-1/2 point wagering odds favorite at Sportsbook.com and receiving the majority of attention from the early bettors.

Miami is 4-1 ATS at Tallahassee and has new coordinators on both sides of the ball to work with 16 returning starters. The Hurricanes will feature a pro-style attack, with sophomore Jacory Harris running the show solo, Robert Marve having transferred. Graig Cooper leads a rushing attack that should be improved, with a greater commitment after averaging only 129 yards per game a season ago. This is key area for Miami since they are 22-8 ATS in road games when they rush for 150 to 200 yards.
 
Defensively, a number of real solid players are available, though not the typical All-American studs normally seen on the Coral Gables campus. The Hurricanes were last in run defense in the ACC a year ago and defensive packs managed only two interceptions. Linebacker is the best position at the “U”, with Sean Spence the ringleader.

Most of the off-season talk on the Florida State campus has centered on legendary Bobby Bowden losing 14 wins in 2006-07 for rules infractions. As Florida State continues the fight to reinstate those victories, Bowden will work on something he can control, this year’s team.
 
The Seminoles regained their strength up front on offense, averaging 177 yards rushing per game in 2008. All five starters from that contingent are back and will be leaned on heavily, while new receivers are discovered for sophomore signal caller Christian Ponder. Last season, Ponder played like a talented freshman, showing glimpses of good and bad, he’ll be expected to improve if Florida State expects to be ACC Atlantic champs. Defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews, in his 26th season, will have work to do with just five starters back. How quickly Andrews can make this cohesive unit will set the tone.
 
Sportsbook.com has the Seminoles as 6-1/2-point wagering favorites with a total of 48. Florida State is only 12-19 ATS as an ACC home favorite since 2001 and will be playing in Doak Campbell Stadium at well below capacity. The Canes are 6-3 ATS as conference road underdogs the last five years in this competitive series.

This Florida battle has been dominated by the underdog, covering eight of the last 10 times. That has usually been the road team, who is 8-3 ATS in these gatherings. Keep an eye on the first team to score, with this squad emerging as straight up winner 80 percent of the time in last 20 encounters.
