Joe Duffy, CEO of OffshoreInsiders.com
takes a look at early week sports betting news and notes for this
week’s games.

Tennessee-Florida

Florida will
be without their most experienced playmaker as senior receiver Andre Caldwell
is out. Caldwell was a first-team
preseason All-SEC selection. Sophomore Riley Cooper gets the start.

Duke-Northwestern

The betting line will be affected based on the injury
updates on Northwestern star running back Tyrell Sutton. Sutton was icing his
ankle after injuring it Saturday against Nevada. He did return briefly after the injury, but
then sat out the remainder of the game.

Pittsburgh-Michigan State

Pittsburgh
lost starting defensive tackle Gus Mustakas to a torn
ACL. He joins the following players lost since the beginning of training camp:
All-Big East receiver Derek Kinder as well as tailback Kevin Collier, offensive
lineman Chris Jacobson, and quarterback Bill Stull.

A great run stopper, Mustakas
will be missed as MSU has 335 yards rushing to the
Panthers last season. Two redshirt sophomores Tommie Duhart
and Mick Williams will take his place.

Ohio-Virginia Tech

Not only did Tech look sluggish in a season opening win at
home to East Carolina, but they were humiliated Saturday on national television
losing to LSU 48-7.
Sources close to Mike Godsey, Senior Sports Handicapper of GodsTips, say
that Hokies quarterback Sean Glennon is completely
unnerved. The starter from last year who
led V Tech to 10 wins was pulled midway through the second quarter against LSU.

Head coach Frank Beamer has declined to name a quarterback
starter for Saturday. Freshman blue chipper Tyrod
Taylor started out slowly but played well against the vaunted Bayou Bengals
defense.

Notre Dame-Michigan

For sports gamblers who handicap “bulletin board
material”, note that Michigan
tailback Mike Hart guaranteed victory in this battle of 0-2 fallen giants.

Hart is playing through a thigh bruise and quarterback
Chad Henne is doubtful. Michigan is 0-4 straight up since legendary coach Bo Schembechler died last November.

Miami Florida-Florida International

With such a huge pointspread, Cy
McCormick of MasterLockLine.com reminds us last year’s infamous brawl may have
Miami bending over backwards to not
run up the score. UM coach Randy Shannon has not named
a starter behind center as each part of their two-headed quarterback rotation
of Kyle Wright and Kirby Freeman is struggling.
