Play on: OVER 8½ -123
Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on Over.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Over is 4-2 in the Diamondbacks last 6 head to head meetings.

- The over is 3-1 in Cristian Javier last 4 starts for the Astros.

- The Over is 3-1 in the Diamondbacks last 4 road games.

Verdict: We should see plenty of Runs in this game.

NCAA-F | San Jose State vs Eastern Michigan
Play on: San Jose State +3 -110 at PlayMGM
Game Analysis

Friday Card has a TOP CFB Unsurpassed Collection Total and the MLB Friday night Hot side and more. CFB Comp play below

The Friday Comp play is on San Jose St plus the points at 6:30 eastern. The Spartans were getting blown out in Southern Cal but had a solid 4th Quarter scoring 23 points losing by 16 as a 31 point dog. Now they travel to Eastern Michigan who beat Sacramento St. This game will be tougher for EMU and Rob notes that Game 2 road dogs of 7 or less off a road dog loss where they covered the spread have covered all 3 times since 2000 vs a team off a home win. Go with the Spartans tonight. GL Rob V-

NCAA-F | Marshall vs Penn State
Play on: UNDER 53 -110
Game Analysis

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #164 Under in Marshall Thundering Herd @ Penn State Nittany Lions (3:30p.m., Saturday, September 5 FS1) The Matt Campbell era gets underway at Penn State on Saturday. Penn State should still have a strong defense and Coach Campbell is a run the ball and play strong defense type of coach. I don’t think he will want to throw the football up and down the field and focus on field position and ball control. Marshall usually a bowl caliber team and not a mid-major pushover like some teams. They have to run clock to have any chance to keep this game under twenty points and that should set up a strong play for the under. Marshall closed out the season going under the posted total in 3 straight games. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Weekend card featuring top plays in football, baseball, and soccer. 3 straight winning weeks to open up the football season and you can receive all football plays for half off with a one week football package.

CFL | BC vs Montreal
Play on: UNDER 61½ -110
Game Analysis

My selection is on the 'under' between B.C. and Montreal at 7:30 pm et on Friday.

All signs points to a high-scoring game between the Lions and Alouettes on Friday but I think the oddsmakers have gone a little too high with this total. It sounds like it will be 'all systems go' for Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander despite injury concerns. The Lions do figure to offer a challenge as they enter this game red hot off five straight wins and having held an impressive eight straight opponents to 26 points or fewer. The Als are certainly known for their offensive prowess, but they can play some defense as well. With that being said, they'll be looking to bounce back as they had their seven-game winning streak snapped in a 44-28 loss in Winnipeg last week. While B.C. did produce 45 points in last week's victory, that came at the expense of an awful Redblacks team. Take the under (8*).

Celebrating my 23rd year handicapping professionally, now is the time to hop on board with football season right around the corner! Long-term packages are available at massive discounts over the price of individual picks; sign up today!

Game Analysis

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR FRIDAY, 9/4:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Friday is with the Seattle Mariners with the money-line versus the Athletics. Seattle (66-75) had won two games in a row before their 7-4 loss at home against the Athletics yesterday. The Mariners have still won 10 of their last 13 games at home against fellow AL West rivals. They have also won 6 of their last 7 home games when proved as a money-line favorite in the -151 to -200 price range. The Athletics (54-86) has won two games in a row — but they have still lost 21 of their last 28 games on the road. They have also lost 26 of their last 33 games against teams with a losing record. Take Seattle with the money-line. Best of luck — Frank.

Frank Sawyer’s Hollywood Sports is on a 7 of 9 (78%) MLB run with featured 25*/20*/10* plays -- and Frank is on a 16 of 22 (73%) MLB TOTALS TEAR after DELIVERING his 25* MLB NL East Total of the Month with the Washington/Miami Over on Monday! Now Frank RAISES THE STAKES by furthering his 14 of 18 (78%) MLB Game of the Month/Year Over-Under run with a 25* MLB Divisional Total of the Year for Friday night! DO NOT MISS OUT!

NCAA-F | Fresno State vs USC
Play on: Fresno State +22½ -110 at circa
Game Analysis

Fresno State has an attractive combination of situational rest, coaching familiarity and sharp support.

A respected sharp handicapper released Fresno State +23.5 for 1.1 units. His projection still makes USC a substantial favorite, but the recommendation is that the market has gone too far.

The situational angle is noteworthy. Fresno State is fresh, whereas USC has already played San Jose State. Historically, Teams in first game versus opponent in second game under specific situations that apply in this game are 211-180-2.

USC's opener also provided evidence that the Trojans are not invulnerable to scoring from an inferior opponent. San Jose State produced 26 points. Fresno State does not need to win offensively; it needs enough production to prevent USC from creating a four-touchdown separation.

There is also coaching familiarity. Fresno State coach Matt Entz has prior familiarity with Lincoln Riley's system, giving the Bulldogs a preparation advantage that a typical large underdog may not possess.

The problem is the market. The sharp release was +23.5. If only +22.5 is available, we are already giving away a full point of value. If the game drops through +21, the recommendation becomes substantially less attractive.

Worldwide public sentiment has leaned toward USC, giving Fresno additional contrarian corroboration.

Free Play: FRESNO STATE +22.5

Prefer: +23.5 or better

Playable: +22.5

Pass below: +21.5
