Red Wolves At Louisana-Lafayette For Tuesday Tilt
Arkansas St. Red Wolves at UL-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns College Football Betting Preview
Date: 10/23/2012, 8:00 p.m. (ET) ESPN2
Opening Lines: UL-Lafayette -4½, O/U NA
Arkansas State Red Wolves: Gus Malzahn's Red Wolves (4-3 straight up, 3-4 against the spread) are looking for their third consecutive conference victory following victories at Florida International and home against South Alabama a little more than a week ago. Arkansas State struggled in the win over the Jaguars, hanging on for a 36-29 triumph in a contest the Wolves were favored by nearly three touchdowns. Senior Ryan Aplin directs the ASU attack which is 35th in total offense (448.7 ypg) and 21st in rushing (217.9 ypg). South Alabama held the Red Wolves to a season-low 113 yards on the ground last week, and they'll look to reestablish the running game while exploiting a Lafayette defense that is near the bottom of the barrel in real estate surrendered through the air (292.5 ypg). Arkansas State won last year's meeting at home but failed to cover, the sixth time in seven meetings ASU backers dropped the cash. The Red Wolves have also come home defeated each of their last five trips to Lafayette.
Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns: UL-Lafayette (4-2 SU, 3-3 ATS) was upset a week ago in the Tuesday night spotlight at North Texas, dropping a 30-23 decision as 4½-point chalk. The Ragin' Cajuns watched a 14-point lead early in the second half disappear, and it was once again their inability to stop the deep aerial attack that cost them. The offense will have to grind-it-out on the ground to be successful, and rely on young sophomore QB Terrance Broadway to be efficient and mistake-free through the air. Broadway passed for a career-high 265 yards in the loss at North Texas a week ago, and also scampered for a 75-yard touchdown. Broadway is playing for injured senior Blaine Gautier who is out indefinitely after having surgery on his broken left hand. This has been a pretty even series overall with LA-LAF holding a 21-18-1 lead over the defending Sun Belt champs from Arkansas State. The 'under' has been the winner three of the last four and four of the last five at Cajun Field where the home crowd will be in a 'white out' Tuesday evening.

Clemson Tigers At Wake Forest In Thursday ACC Action
The stakes are pretty high for Clemson (6-1 straight up, 5-2 vs. line; No. 17 in the latest Don Best Linemakers Poll), which is in position to qualify for a return to the BCS if it keeps winning. After all, Virginia Tech showed a year ago that select ACC entries can be appealing to the BCS bowls even if they don’t secure the automatic berth granted to the league champion.
And, since Atlantic Division rival Florida State now has a conference loss (vs. NC State) on its ledger, the Tigers are also in position to steal their half of the ACC should the Seminoles manage to find another banana peel in league play. Still all to play for, to be sure, at Clemson.
Wake Forest (4-3 straight up and vs. the number), however, might have other ideas regarding the Tigers and their BCS plans.
What has evolved into an intriguing ACC rivalry renews itself on Thursday night at Winston-Salem, when the Demon Deacons play host to the Tigers. A quick check of the early-week Don Best college football odds screen notes that the visiting Tigers have been posted as substantial 13-point favorites at most Las Vegas wagering outlets.
Kickoff time for the Thursday night battle at cozy Groves Stadium/BB&T Field will be at 7:30 p.m. (ET), with ESPN on hand to provide the national TV coverage.
Last year’s meeting at Death Valley was the latest installment of this colorful regional rivalry, and Wake pushed the eventual ACC champion Clemson to the limit, with the Tigers forced to rally from a late 28-14 deficit to pull out a pulsating 31-28 win at the death of regulation time on a 43-yard field goal by PK Chandler Catanzaro. Earlier, the Deacs had surged to their two-TD lead on the heels on a stunning 21-point third quarter eruption, but had missed a chance to put Clemson in a real hole midway in the fourth when PK Jimmy Mewman missed a 32-yard FG try that would have given Wake a 31-21 cushion.
Instead, Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney won his third game in as many tries (2-1 vs. the line) vs. the Deacs since 2009. Swinney assumed the head coaching role at Clemson midway through the preceding 2008 campaign after Tommy Bowden resigned following a mid-October 12-7 loss against Wake at Winston-Salem.
Even though the Tigers have won seven of the last 10 meetings outright, the Demon Deacons have still proven a tough assignment for Clemson over the past decade, especially against the pointspread, as Wake, reversing the straight-up series record, has covered the number in seven of the past 10 meetings since 2002.
Indeed, the Deacons have also been providing good spread value in the home underdog role in recent years under respected head coach Jim Grobe, as Wake is 9-5 against the line getting points in Winston-Salem since 2007.
But there are some positive pointspread trends both ways, as Clemson has covered the spread in its first three games away from Death Valley this season.
Fundamentally, there will be an enormous challenge for the Demon Deacon defense to keep the high-powered Tiger attack in check. Clemson ranks 16th nationally in total offense (493 yards per game) and 15th in scoring at a robust 41 ppg.
The Tiger strike force, upgraded considerably a year ago when offensive coordinator Chad Morris was lured from Tulsa and installed a high-tech spread, has soared behind strong-armed QB Tajh Boyd, who has already passed for 1,908 yards and 15 TDs this season. Since last season, Boyd has passed for 5,735 yards, 48 TDs and 18 picks.
ACC sources who suggested in the preseason that Clemson had a wide receiver arsenal every bit as potent as the more-ballyhooed targets at Southern Cal have been vindicated by the efforts of junior Tiger wideout DeAndre Hopkins, who has already caught 52 passes this fall for a whopping 845 yards (ranks second nationally in that category) and nine TD catches. Heading into the season, Hopkins wasn’t even the most touted Clemson wideout, as soph Sammie Watkins had stolen the headlines. Watkins, however, has had a choppy fall, dealing with suspension and injury, although he is back in the fold and contributing to the high-powered attack.
Providing proper balance is senior RB Andre Ellington (693 yards rushing), well on his way to another 1,000-yard rushing season.
Wake’s defense, however, has a more veteran look than it did a year ago, and has not been roadkill this season, allowing 28 ppg. A seasoned platoon filled with juniors and seniors and that returned six of seven starters from last year’s front seven has faced plenty of versatile QBs and high-powered offenses such as Clemson’s.
Earlier this season at Winston-Salem, Wake kept another potent ACC opponent, North Carolina, from running wild in a 28-27 Deacon upset back on September 8.
And Wake will gladly take its chances against a somewhat-underachieving Clemson “D” that has had some problems adapting to new coordinator Brent Venables’ defensive schemes, which stress more zones and simpler reads than predecessor Kevin Steele’s more-complicated formulas. But that hasn’t worked as well as Swinney would have liked, as the Tigers have been guilty of conceding many big plays and rank a poor 92nd overall in total defense (almost 440 yards per game).
Thus, there should be opportunities for the Deacs and southpaw QB Tanner Price, making his third start since 2010 against Swinney’s team. Although not as explosive as some of offensive coordinator Steed Lobotzke’s past attacks, Wake is playing effective ball control offense, which could keep Boyd, Hopkins, Watkins, Ellington, and Clemson’s potent strike force on the sidelines for long stretches. The Deacons slowed the pace effectively with Price’s short throws and runs by junior RB Josh Harris (4.7 ypc) in recent weeks, including last Saturday’s 16-10 win at Virginia.
We wouldn’t be expecting any cakewalk for the Tigers on Thursday night.

World Series Game 2 betting preview: Tigers at Giants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detroit Tigers at San Francisco Giants (113, OFF)
One night after Pablo Sandoval put his name in the record book, the San Francisco Giants attempt to take a 2-0 lead in the World Series as they host the Detroit Tigers at AT&T Park on Thursday. Sandoval belted a career-high three home runs, including two off reigning American League MVP and Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander, and added a single to complete a 4-for-4 performance in San Francisco's 8-3 triumph in the Series opener Tuesday. Sandoval joined Babe Ruth (1926 and 1928), Reggie Jackson (1977) and Albert Pujols (2011) as the only players to hit three homers in a World Series game.
National League Championship Series MVP Marco Scutaro continued his torrid pace, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs. After going 0-for-8 over his first two playoff games, Scutaro has hit safely in each of his last 11 contests and collected two or more hits in seven of his last eight. Jhonny Peralta went deep for Detroit, giving him three home runs in his last two games after belting 13 over his previous 158 contests - including the playoffs. Tigers reliever Jose Valverde, who had not pitched since blowing a save opportunity in the ALCS opener against the New York Yankees, continued to struggle as he surrendered two runs and four hits while retiring one of the five batters he faced. Meanwhile, San Francisco's Tim Lincecum continued to excel in a relief role, recording five strikeouts in 2 1/3 perfect innings. Lincecum has yielded one run over 10 2/3 frames in four appearances out of the bullpen this postseason.
TV: 8:07 p.m. ET, FOX
WEATHER: Forecasts are calling for temperatures in the high-50s under clear skies. Winds will blow out to right field at 9 mph.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Doug Fister (0-0, 1.35 ERA) vs. Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (0-2, 11.25)
Fister has not pitched since scattering six hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Yankees in the opener of the ALCS on Oct. 13. The 28-year-old settled for a no-decision, as he did versus the Oakland Athletics in Game Two of the AL Division Series, when he yielded two runs and six hits in seven frames. Fister, who went 4-7 in 13 road starts during the regular season, will be facing San Francisco for the first time in his career.
Bumgarner has been inactive nearly as long as Fister, last pitching in the opener of the NLCS against St. Louis on Oct. 14, when he was tagged for six runs and eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old also did not fare well versus Cincinnati in the NLDS as he surrendered four runs over 4 1/3 frames in a Game Two loss. Bumgarner, who went 10-3 in 15 starts at home in the regular season, did not figure in the decision in his only career start against the Tigers on July 1, 2011 despite allowing only one run in 7 1/3 innings at Detroit.
TRENDS:
* Over is 4-0 in Giants’ last four World Series home games.
* Over is 4-1-1 in Tigers’ last six games vs. a left-handed starter.
* Giants are 5-0 in their last five World Series home games.
* Tigers are 1-7 in Fister’s last eight starts as a road favorite of -110 to -150.
UMP TRENDS- Dan Iassogna:
* Tigers are 5-1 in their last six games with Iassogna behind home plate.
* Road team is 4-1 in Iassogna’s last five Thursday games behind home plate.
* Over is 5-1-2 in Iassogna’s last eight games behind home plate vs. San Francisco.
* Over is 4-1 in Iassogna’s last five Thursday games behind home plate vs. San Francisco.
WALK-OFFS:
1. Fister has not won since tossing his first career shutout against Minnesota on Sept. 22, going 0-1 in four starts despite allowing three runs or less in each outing.
2. The winner of Game One has gone on to capture the World Series eight of the last nine years.
3. San Francisco's starting pitchers have allowed a total of two runs over 26 innings in the club's last four games.

Clemson at Wake Forest
October 24, 2012
Thursday night football shifts to the ACC this week after last week’s big game in the Pac-12 turned into a blowout. Clemson is coming off an Orange Bowl season and after beating Virginia Tech last week the Tigers look to climb back into the ACC race. Wake Forest is also coming off a big conference win heading into this Atlantic division clash. Take a look at this week’s Thursday night matchup and the history between these teams.
Matchup: Clemson Tigers at Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Venue: BB&T Field, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Date: Thursday, October, 25 2012
Time/TV: 7:30 PM ET – ESPN
Line: Clemson -12, Over/Under 59½
Last Meeting: 2011, Clemson (-16½) 31-28, at Clemson
Clemson won the ACC for the first time since 1991 last season but a season that should have been remembered as an excellent year for the program was soured with an embarrassing 70-33 Orange Bowl loss to West Virginia. Clemson lost to Florida State 49-37 in the big national TV showdown about a month ago but the Tigers are 6-1 and in line for another strong season even if there are major hurdles in the way of a second straight conference title.
The Clemson offense is posting nearly 493 yards per game this season and while the Tigers eventually lost to Florida State the offense did its part with some big plays against a Seminoles defense that is extremely well regarded. The Tigers are led by junior Tajh Boyd at quarterback and he is on pace for another excellent season, already with 15 touchdown passes while completing over 67 percent of his passes, a far higher rate than he had last season. After scoring just 26 points in the opening week win against Auburn, a win that no longer looks terribly impressive, the Tigers have scored at least 37 points in every game as the 15th highest scoring team in the nation.
Advertisement
Senior Andre Ellington leads the team with 693 rushing yards as he could eclipse his great numbers from last season and he is the 2nd leading rusher in the ACC. Junior DeAndre Hopkins is 2nd in the entire nation in receiving yards with 845 on 52 catches along with nine touchdowns. Sammy Watkins was a freshman sensation last season but he has been quiet so far this season, missing three games with suspension and injury and failing to score a receiving touchdown so far this season. His best game of the year came last week however and this offense could really take off if he can get more involved.
Clemson was a mediocre defensive team last season, allowing almost 30 points per game and surrendering 394 yards per game. Some of that is misleading as the offense often scored quickly but in the two biggest games this season Clemson has been badly out-gained, allowing 667 yards against Florida State and last week giving up 406 yards against Virginia Tech despite taking advantage of turnovers for a fairly convincing win. The Tigers outgained Wake Forest by over 200 yards last season but won by just three points. Last week was a confidence building week for the Clemson defense with four turnovers and a couple of big 4th down stops but it will be a short week to prepare for an improving Wake Forest team. Mediocre teams have scored against Clemson as Ball State posted 27 and Boston College and Georgia Tech both hit 31.
Wake Forest is 4-3 on the season but the wins have all come by relatively slim margins including last week’s escape at Virginia. The Demon Deacons are 2-3 in ACC play and returning to a bowl game may be difficult looking at the schedule ahead. Wake Forest will host Boston College and Vanderbilt but there are road games with N.C. State and Notre Dame. Wake Forest will need an upset to reach 6-6 again and this week’s game provides that opportunity. The Demon Deacons beat North Carolina 28-27 at home earlier this year and they did so with a few big defensive stops and a big day in the air.
Junior quarterback Tanner Price has suffered a step-back season this year as he is completing less than 51 percent of his passes. Dreadful games against two of the better defenses in the ACC in Florida State and Maryland weigh heavily on the statistics but he was far more efficient last season. He already has four interceptions after throwing just six last year and he will be hard pressed to come close to the yardage and touchdown counts from 2011. Price is one of the more complete traditional passing quarterbacks in the conference however and the left-hander is capable of having a big game.
Wake Forest is scoring only 22 points per game this season and they rank towards the bottom of the nation in most offensive categories. The Wake Forest running game has shown some life however as the Demon Deacons have out-rushed opponents in three straight games. It has not necessarily been Wake Forest finding great success on the ground but the defense has been very effective against the run in recent weeks. The season statistics are still poor because Army and Florida State posted big numbers but Wake Forest has allowed just 29 points in the last two games and both of those contests were on the road.
Many may point to Florida State’s complete destruction of Wake Forest versus the relatively competitive game Clemson put forth against the Seminoles but the situations were not equal. Wake Forest met Florida State in its first road game of the season, a week after upsetting North Carolina 28-27. Clemson had been preparing for the Seminoles for weeks after light competition in the games leading up to that big national showcase game and the Tigers dug deep for some very creative play calls to break some big plays to grab the early lead. Even with the strong start Clemson still lost soundly in that game so the Tigers don’t deserve a ton of credit for only losing by 12.
This game has letdown potential for Clemson off a huge win last week over Virginia Tech in a rematch of the 2011 ACC championship game and while Clemson won, the offense struggled with less than 300 yards and five sacks allowed. Clemson has not played on the road in about a month and in his career Dabo Swinney is just 8-12 straight up in road games including just 4-8 since 2010. Wake Forest will be overmatched when comparing these offenses but the Demon Deacons will be for this national TV opportunity.
Line Movement: Clemson opened as a 13-point favorite but this line has come down to -12½ and then eventually -12 as of Tuesday evening. The total opened at 59½ and has not shown movement yet.
Last Meeting: Clemson opened the 2011 season 7-0 and was ranked as high as #6 in the nation before losing to Georgia Tech. That loss was a week before the home match-up with Wake Forest and the Tigers were a bit flat off their first loss. Wake Forest entered the game off back-to-back losses, losing badly to North Carolina and then falling in a close game at home with Notre Dame. At 5-4, the Demon Deacons still needed one more win to secure a bowl spot. Clemson led 14-7 at halftime but Wake Forest scored three touchdowns in the span of about four minutes of game clock, a run started by a punt return touchdown and aided by two Clemson turnovers. Wake Forest wouldn’t score again but the game wasn’t tied until just over five minutes to go and then Clemson was able to kick a last second field goal for the 31-28 win after both sides missed 4th quarter field goals.
Series History: Clemson is 26-6 SU vs. Wake Forest since 1980 but just 13-18-1 ATS. Since 1990 Clemson is just 6-15-1 ATS in this series. Clemson has won each of the last three meetings as Wake Forest last won in 2008. Clemson won 30-10 in the last meeting in Winston-Salem but the Tigers are just 2-3 in the last five trips including just 1-4 ATS. The favorite is 4-1 in the last five meetings overall and Clemson is just 7-12 since 1980 as a favorite of 10 or more points in this series.
Clemson Historical Trends: Clemson is 20-33 ATS as a road favorite since 1990 but 5-5 under Dabo Swinney. Swinney’s teams are just 8-12 SU on the road but actually 12-8 ATS as the Tigers have been a very effective road underdog. The Tigers have struggled historically as a heavy favorite going just 29-48-2 ATS when laying 10 or more points, though going 8-8 since Swinney took over. Since 1990 Clemson is 3-12-1 ATS as a double-digit road favorite.
Wake Forest Historical Trends: Since 2001 when Jim Grobe took over at Wake Forest the Demon Deacons have been formidable as a home underdog, going 17-9-1 ATS, including going 14-5 in the last 19 attempts going back to 2004. Under Grobe, Wake Forest is 5-3 ATS as a double-digit home underdog and 17-13 ATS as a double-digit underdog in any location. The last two years Wake Forest is 4-1 ATS with two S/U upset wins as a double-digit underdog, winning at home against Florida State last season and beating North Carolina at home earlier this season.

Clemson at Wake Forest: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clemson Tigers at Wake Forest Demon Deacons (+11.5, 58.5)
After turning in one of its finer defensive performances of the season Saturday, No. 13 Clemson will attempt to remain in the thick of the ACC Atlantic Division race Thursday when it travels to Wake Forest.
Ever since their 70-33 humiliation against West Virginia in last season’s Orange Bowl, the Tigers have struggled to keep opponents off the scoreboard even as their offense has thrived. However, Clemson allowed a season-low in points to an FBS school and forced four turnovers in last weekend’s 38-17 home triumph over Virginia Tech and can move into a tie with Florida State in their division with a victory. The Demon Deacons, 3-1 at home this season, snapped a two-game slide with a 16-10 road win over Virginia.
TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN.
LINE: Clemson opened at -13 at most books, but that number had been bet down to -12 as of Thursday morning. The total opened at 59.5 and a couple of books moved it to 58.5 but most hadn't seen much movement overnight Wednesday.
WEATHER: The forecast for Winston Salem is calling for clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s. Winds are expected to blow ENE at 1 mph.
ABOUT CLEMSON (6-1, 3-1 ACC, 5-2 ATS): There is still much room for improvement under new defensive coordinator Brent Venables as the Tigers still surrendered 406 yards to the Hokies, but his charges have forced 15 turnovers this season. Jonathan Meeks recorded his first two interceptions of the season – taking one back for a touchdown – to help offset a 295-yard outing from the offense, more than 230 yards below Clemson’s season average entering the contest. One slight concern for Clemson has to be the five sacks it surrendered to Virginia Tech after allowing only 10 over the first six games.
ABOUT WAKE FOREST (4-3, 2-3, 4-3 ATS): The Demon Deacons, who had allowed 31 points and more than 206 rushing yards per game prior to their open week, turned in their best defensive performance of the year by holding the Cavaliers to 10 points and 48 yards rushing, both of which were season-best totals for the defense. Although not known as a particularly explosive or quick-strike offense, Wake Forest needed only 6 and 17 seconds on its first two scoring drives against Virginia. Leading receiver Michael Campanaro (hand) is not expected to return until at least Nov. 3 against Boston College.
TRENDS:
* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Home team is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings.
* Tigers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six meetings in Wake Forest.
EXTRA POINTS:
1. Clemson leads the all-time series 59-17-1 and has won the last three meetings.
2. The Tigers rank no worse than 40th in total, rushing, passing and scoring offense while the Demon Deacons rank no better than 80th.
3. Wake Forest has allowed opponents to score on 26 of 28 red zone opportunities, including 19 touchdowns.

Louisville Tackles Cincinnati In Friday Big East Matchup
Cincinnati Bearcats at Louisville Cardinals College Football Betting Preview
Date: 10/26/2012, 8:00 p.m. (ET) ESPN2
Opening Lines: Louisville -4, O/U 53½
Cincinnati Bearcats: Butch Jones and the 'Cats (5-1 straight up, 3-3 against the spread) fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last Saturday at Toledo, perhaps looking ahead to this rivalry. Cincy closed as 5-point road chalk and never could respond to a KO return for a TD by the Rockets late in the third period. Munchie Legaux easily had his worst game of the season for the Bearcats, tossing two picks and completing just 15-of-36 aerials. Cincinnati still churned out a solid rushing effort in the loss (251 yards), even better than its 12th-highest average in the country (225.7 ypg), but will face a stiffer run defense in L'ville on Friday night. The series has run in streaks recently with the Bearcats winning the last four meetings (3-1 ATS) after the Cardinals won the previous five (4-1 ATS).
Louisville Cardinals: Charlie Strong has one of two remaining undefeated teams in the Big East, the other being Rutgers, but Louisville (7-0 SU, 3-4 ATS) is really only now beginning to reach the tough part of its slate. The Cardinals' first seven opponents are a combined 14-39, with North Carolina (5-3) the only school with winning record, and they have the Scarlet Knights on the road at the end of the campaign plus a trip to Syracuse before then. Louisville was No. 28 in last week's Don Best Linemakers Poll, and is paced on offense by talented soph QB Teddy Bridgewater who is 12th in the country with a 165.21 passer rating (11 TD, 3 INT). The Bearcats have held opposing quarterbacks to a 111.9 rating, 24th lowest in the nation. The last two games played in Louisville have gone 'over' the total; both teams have split the totals thus far in 2012, Cincinnati 2-2 'over/under' and Louisville 3-3.
