If you want a Labor Day “Winathon”, you must remember our theme song: “You’ll never win alone”.  With some help from the editors of Sportsline360.com, we take a look at some big games Saturday, at least from the standpoint of the bettor.

 

North Texas-Texas

 

North Texas’ chance of pulling off the upset of historic proportions took a serious hit when it was announced their starting QB Daniel Meager has not fully recovered from a concussion.  Sophomore Matt Rivers gets the start.  Rivers did practice well, throwing four touchdowns in three scrimmages.

 

Stevie Vincent, one of the handicappers on OffshoreInsiders.com notes the numbers favor the defending National Champions. North Texas is 0-9 to the number in non-conference games the last three years, while Texas is 10-1 ATS on grass.

 

Notre Dame-Georgia Tech

 

The Irish come in with very high hopes, ranked No. 2 in the country. But their high powered offense goes up against a GA Tech team ranked 13th against the run last year on defense. Tech has a recent history of winning games they were not expected to.

 

The Irish defense returns nine starters. Checking the databases at BetOnSports360.com, we see that Tech has covered both series meetings the last 10 years.  

 

Akron-Penn State

 

Everything went right for Penn State last year, but they must replace QB Michael Robinson, the Big Ten offensive MVP. New starter Anthony Morelli will have four fellow new starters in front of him on the offensive line. Note that Penn State has gone under 26-11 to non-conference foes since 1992.
