Las Vegas - Flying out to Colorado Springs for a look at the Air Force/Utah State game. The Force is a -9 point favorite, and the feeling from this keyboard is, that is TOO much for them to handle. Like the Falcons and the 2-0 record, but look who they beat. A 42-7 smackdown against Robert Morris, not a guy, but an FCS (Division 1-AA back in the day) team, then a 13-3 struggle against Sam Houston State. Again, not a guy, but according to my old buddy Jeff Sagarin at USA Today, a team with a power rating of 54.8, which is all the way down at 144 in the country. Kinda surprised that the Falcons are such a large favorite, since they are SO one dimensional. Tell me Eck? How about run, run, run for 254 yards. And how about pass, pass, pass for, you ready, ONLY 14 yards. Yea, that was not a misprint. FOURTEEN STINKING YARDS! These two met last season at Logan, and Utah State posted a 34-27 victory. Looking for another close game and throwing a handful of chips at the visiting Aggies.

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. Will Atlanta's bats cool off now that the N.L. East is locked down? The Braves still would love to have the best record in MLB and home field advantage in the World Series, so, maybe no cool down. Why? Because ATL has gone OVER in eight of the last 10 games (EckSTATS do not include yesterday's games).
