CLEVELAND STATE
The Vikings host the Bulldogs in at the Goodman Arena in Cleveland in a Horizon League opener for both teams. Cleveland State returns 4 starters from last year's 21-win squad as Gary Waters' squad was picked as the team to beat in the Horizon this season. Meanwhile, Butler lost 4 starters from last year's 30-win NCAA unit. With the Vikings looking to avenge a loss to the Bulldogs in last year's Horizon League tournament, look for CSU to have their way here tonight.Comment

RUTGERS over Louisville by 16
Did anyone catch that freight train tearing threw Piscataway? It’s Greg
Schiano’s Scarlet Knights and they’re taking no prisoners during an impressive
5-game winning streak. They have also covered 6 of 7 and show no signs
of slowing down this week, boasting a healthy 5-1 ATS mark in their Last
Home Game when playing with revenge. Schiano’s crew is also 7-0 against
the number with revenge versus a sub .500 foe. And thanks to Louisville’s
4-game losing skid that’s seen its defense shredded for 132 points, that’s
exactly where Kragthorpe’s Redbirds reside – under the water level. The
visitors desperately need a win to become bowl eligible but, at 6-6, that may
not even be enough to guarantee an invitation. With the series visitor 0-3
SU and ATS recently, we’ll be jumping on the bandwagon…err, freight train,
known as Rutgers. All aboardComment

Scott Rickenbach’s 2* (Top Play) Pittsburgh Penguins Money Line (+) @ Carolina @ 7:05 PM ET – We suffered a very tough beat with Pittsburgh last night as they never trailed the entire game but the Rangers got the tying goal late in regulation to send the game to overtime. The game then proceeded to the shootout and the Rangers got the win there. The disappointing loss will have the Penguins highly motivated tonight. Yes, this is a back to back situation but the Pens just had one of these over the weekend and they responded very favorably. The situation was very similar to. They blew a one-goal lead to Buffalo on Friday in what ended up being a frustrating defeat. They then turned around and walloped the New Jersey Devils 4 to 1 the very next night! We look for similar results here in what is a similar situation. We are well aware of the fact that the Canes just fired their coach but the timing was very strange to say the least. The Canes last played on Sunday and that was a 4 to 1 loss to the Ducks. Why did they wait until yesterday to make this move? Now, instead of giving new coach Paul Maurice a chance to get re-acclimated with the team (he coached here previously for a number of years), he steps right in the day before game day. Sure the Hurricanes may try to give a better effort after this move but will this team immediately be “firing on all cylinders”? We highly doubt that. Also, we are well aware of the goal-tending situation for both clubs and although Pittsburgh may go with rookie John Curry (whom we like by the way), Carolina is likely to go with back-up Michael Leighton due to the injury to Cam Ward. The Pens are familiar with Leighton and they like what they’ve seen as they are 3-0 against him in his career. As for the Pens Curry, even though he lost his first start, he played very well and he’ll be ready here. The Canes also have never faced him and this is an advantage to the netminder in our opinion. The Penguins will be hungry after last night’s loss and note that only twice in the first two months of this season has Pittsburgh been in a losing streak. In other words, they know how to bounce back off of a loss and that’s what we fully expect here! Carolina is just 1-4 in their last 5 games and they’ve scored just 1.6 goals per game in regulation of those five games (the lone win came in overtime). The Canes fortunes aren’t going to change overnight and we’re getting the Penguins with great line value here. Play Pittsburgh on the money line as a Top Play selection.

6:45:00 PM OVER 51,RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS
-vs-Louisville Cardinals
Scott Rickenbach’s 1* (regular play) OVER the total in Rutgers vs Louisville @ 7:45 PM ET – The Cardinals are 5-6 and need a win to have a shot at the bowl season. The Scarlet Knights are 6-5 but need a win to guarantee a bowl slot plus improve the type of bowl they go to by finishing with a 7-5 mark. With two solid QB’s in Teel for Rutgers and Cantwell for the Cardinals, there will be plenty of offense in this one. Though it will be chilly this evening it will not be brutally cold. Earlier showers during the day should be moved out of the area and the winds are expected to be light. With light winds and no precipitation, the conditions are just right for an absolute aerial assault for both teams in this match-up. Rutgers will look to throw all game long. Their passing attack has been one of the best in the country during their five game winning streak and they’re facing a Louisville secondary that has been depleted by injuries. Also encouraging the Scarlet Knights to throw early and often is that their running game is not what it once was. Additionally, the Cardinals run defense was solid this season, at least until they ran into West Virginia two weeks ago. Therefore, Rutgers knows that the best way to beat Louisville is through the air. As for the Cardinals, they will be forced to throw here. They will need to do it just to keep pace with Rutgers high powered attack and the Cards have the weapons to attack a Rutgers secondary that is known for poor tackling. Just get the ball in the hands of the speedy Cardinals wide receivers, and QB Cantwell knows that he can have a big day! In what could be Cantwell’s final college game, coach Steve Kragthorpe also will be looking to assist him in any way he can to put up big numbers in what would be his final audition for the NFL. Cantwell has the skills and they will be on display Thursday night. Yes, Louisville only scored 21 points in their most recent game but they were done in by five turnovers as they actually had nearly 500 yards of offense in that game. Also, the Scarlet Knights game stayed under two weeks ago but it was because they faced a very weak Army offense that only managed three points. This is a much bigger challenge for the Scarlet Knights defense this week and we foresee a back and forth high scoring affair! Play OVER the total in Rutgers as a regular selection.Comment

Re: 12-4-08
ASA 5* Top Play Colorado Avalanche Money Line +120 @ Nashville @ 7:05 Central Time: The Avalanche have been a very streaky team this season and it’s time once again to ride them here. The Avs are coming off of back to back wins where they scored 10 goals in the process and that kind of offensive production is what really helps kick this team into another gear. Also, now that it’s finally been announced that captain Joe Sakic will not be coming back any time soon, the Avalanche can actually focus even more on what they’re doing on the ice rather than worrying about which game Sakic would be making his return. The Avalanche have won three of their last four meetings with the Predators and Colorado goalie Peter Budaj has enjoyed facing Nashville. Budaj has allowed a total of just two goals in his last three starts against the Predators. The Preds haven’t been faring well at home either in recent games. Part of the problem has been a road-dominated schedule as it’s been hard for the Predators to develop any consistency at home. The end result? The Predators haven’t won at home since November 1st and their trying to avoid their fourth straight loss on home ice tonight. We doubt that the Preds will be successful in doing so. The Avs come into this game very relaxed and confident after the way their last two games have gone. Also, Colorado’s power play has been stronger than the Predators this season. The Predators offense has been held to two goals or less in five of their last seven games and the Preds simply won’t be able to keep up with a high powered Avs offense that is clicking again and comes in confident after putting a 6-spot on the Minnesota Wild on Monday! ASA 5* Top Play selection on Colorado on Thursday Night!Comment
