Detailed Analysis of Top Key Selections
MISSOURI 52 - Iowa State 7 - (1:00 - ABC) -- Nine straight losses for Cycs, who have been outscored, 153-17, the past 4 wks. No rushing "O", no rushing "D". The dog is 7-1 ATS in Tiger games, but Mizzou covered its last 3 HGs by 24½, 35, & 10 pts, & ran for 831 yds in its last 2 hosters. Stat turnaround from '02.
Texas 49 - TEXAS A&M 17 - (3:30 - ABC) -- Aggies have had their moments, offensively, in Franchione's first season, but containment isn't their forte, ranking 113th in scoring "D". The chalk is 9-0 ATS in Ag games, with A&M 0-7 vs the pts as a puppy, the last 5 by an average of 26 ppg ATS. Rested 'Horns have an unbelievable 50-11 ppg scoring edge when taking to the road. It continues.
Cincinnati 20 - PITTSBURGH 17 - (1:00) -- Revenge for the Bengals, who went down by 7 in their first encounter. That loss put Cincy at 0-3, but they have turned it all around, standing at 6-5, & tied with Baltimore for the AFC North lead, 2 games ahead of Pitt & Cleve. Four TD passes for Kitna LW, & check 240, 200, & 225 RYs in Cincy's last 3 games. Contrast that with Pitt's 31st ranking in rushing. Only 11 FDs & 168 yds in win over the Browns, with all 13 pts off fumble recoveries. Steelers 34-15 ATS off holding a foe under 11 pts, but the ATS loser in the 1st series meeting is stellar 14-2 ATS in 2nd.
