College Football Pick Of The Day – UConn @ Louisville – Who Covers The Spread

Friday, September 26th, 2008

FiveStarPick.com has been crunching stats, trends, injury reports and weather forcasts all night and plans to give its members the winner and total for tonight’s game between the UConn Huskies and the Louisville Cardinals.  Connecticut (4-0 straight up, 1-2 against the spread) will return to the national stage tonight on the road having almost lost to Baylor last Friday and failing to cover in their 2nd game in 3 starts.  The over for UConn this season is a solid 3-0-1.

Louisville (2-1 straight up, 1-1 against the spread) started the year losing at home to Kentucky as a 4 point favorite 27-2.  That loss lit a fire under the Cardinals respondeing favorably with back-to-back victories. The Cardinals crushed Tennessee Tech 51-10, then beat Kansas State 38-29 last Wednesday as a 6 point home dog. The combined 67 points cashed over players on the 56-point total.

Las Vegas sportsbooks opened Louisville as a 2 ½-point favorite with the total set at 53. The line has been moving and most spots have adjusted the Cardinals to 3 ½ and the total has moved to 50.

College Football Pick Of The Day – Baylor Bears @ UConn Huskies – Who Covers The Spread

Friday, September 19th, 2008

As Johnny Gill says, “It’s Friday night and I just got paid” and FiveStarPick.com is looking to get all of its members paid tonight.  Baylor (2-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) is listed as a 12 point dog against UConn tonight and money line bettors should find the line at +380 (risk $100 to win $380.)  UConn (3-0 SU, 1-1 ATS) will try to keep its perfect season together as a -480 home money line favorite (risk $480 to win $100.)

After getting stomped by Wake Forest in their home opener as a 12-point dog, Baylor has won back-to-back games against Northwestern St. (51-6) and Washington St. (45-17) as a 6-point home favorite. Their last two wins had a lot to do with true freshman quarterback Robert Griffin. Griffin was a 4-star recruit from Copperas Cove, TX., has been given the nod as the future of Baylor Bear football.

In Griffin’s second start last week against Washington State, he ran for a school-record 217 yards and 2 TDs on 11 carries. Griffin threw for 129 yards, 1 TD and had no interceptions. The Bears finished with 555 yards of total offense and scored 40 points in two consecutive games for the first time since 1994.  Griffin has completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 548 yards with a 4-0 touchdown to interception ratio.

Connecticut last week crushed Virginia (45-10) as an 11-point home favorite. RB Don Brown paced rushed for 206 yards and 3 TDs; Tyler Lorenzen went 13-15 for 129 yards with 1 TD and no interceptions.

Since 2003, the Huskies have been solid as a double-digit favorite going 9-4 against the spread. Since 2002, the Huskies are 14-7-1 ATS as a home chaulk.  Baylor on the other hand is 3-11 against the spread as a double-digit underdog since 2006.

So who covers the spread in today’s game?  It is easy to find out.  Become a member of FiveStarPick.com and put the worry, stress and grind over the spread behind you.  Our members who bet $100 a game are up nearly $10,000 in 2008.  We are documented as well.  All of our picks are posted on our homepage for all to see.  Do we win every game? NO!  That’s impossible.  But if you stick to our daily plays and follow our sports betting advice, you will start to notice a lot more green where it belongs.  Our membership fee will pay for itself on the first day.  Join today and start your winning streak tonight.
