Going OVER the total. Kinda sad that this isn't on Christmas Eve. That is always great as the kids look for Rudolph and we are looking for a cover on the islands. So we are going OVER. La Tech is a pretty balanced team, and that would be the side I am leaning too. But something tells me we see some offense tonight. Hawai'i with a very surprising year. They sure as heck weren't counting on 8 wins. Now they get a home bowl game and I think they come out fired up. 4* Total Money OVER

Taking the CHARGERS. I know that this could be a bit of let-down spot for LAC. There is no home field advantage. Winning out and a KC loss somewhere will get them a bye week. I thought that Chargers were a good team starting the year. I think they are better now. They have 2 nice comebacks under their belts. Zero quit in these guys. I know Baltimore is a good defense. But I think LAC can put up what KC did, and possibly more. Against KC and NO, two offense I would say rate well to the Chargers, we saw 24 points allowed. This LA team has a better defense. They will stop the rush game. And if come to Lamar Jackson throwing the ball. Let's look at his last 5 games. Yards -- 131-147-125-178-150. We won't talk about his completion % - Or the rankings of the Tampa, Chiefs, Raiders, Falcons or Bengals defenses. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS

Northern Illinois pulled off a miracle win over Buffalo. And I am not saying that because I had Buffalo. I mean, really. That was a miracle. Offense, one of the worse in college, ranked 123rd in offense yards per game. Some how, down 29-10, scores basically 20 pt in the 4th to win 30-29. No way they catch lighting in the bottle twice. UAB brings one of the better defense to the party. In fact, they are 11th in offensive yards allowed.

Going OVER the total here. I will tell you this is a tough spot for a side. We can say that the Saints are looking to wrap up home field. Will come out and take care of business. We can say the Panthers are playing for their HC who could be canned after the season as he enters MNF with 5 straight losses. 4 of those were on the road - Panthers always play better at home. Much more scoring. Let's remove 16 points over Dallas Week 1. And Dallas has shown they can play some defense this year. We see Panthers score 31-31-36-42-27. This is NO's 3rd straight road game. I said when we had Dallas over the Saints they either lose at Dallas or on the road to the Panthers. Now the Panthers are just a desperate home dog. And as much as they get by on, oh, they have a tough defense. Again, take out the Dallas 16-8 game. 21-33-21-28-30 allowed at home. I'm going square on this total and thinking we get at least 55. 4* Total Money OVER Saints/ Panthers

Takes Big Ben out and then puts him. The FG attempt. Just terrible. Now - Who do we think is bouncing back this afternoon? What HC/QB combo do you think we should be backing? Big Ben with rib issues. Maybe they get their RB back. They couldn't do anything against the 2nd worse rush defense in the league. 5 straight wins for NE in the series.

This Tampa defense, if it is plays more for the run, will give up chunks of yards, and enough points for a 10pt win. Did you miss the collapse last week (we got a miracle cover with NO) - plenty of mistakes to go around. Special teams looked like garbage. OL fell apart. Winston doing Winston things. How is that going to fly vs this Ravens defense coming in angry, vs a team that will be out of it's element and quite frankly, not a good team. As good as this TB QB combo is putting up 31 TD passes, they also have 24 INTs. I am sure we see at least 2 turnovers this afternoon. Tampa 2-12 SU last 14 on the road including a 3-9 ATS run in their most recent 12 games.

But I see a team that won by 2 at Washington 23-21. 19-17 at Denver. 37-34 at Indy. 20-17 loss at Tennessee. 20-7 win at Jax. I won't include 27-20 loss at NE. But I don't see a dominate team on the road. Loss by 5 at home to the Giants. Needed the Pick 6 Perriman of the Bills to toss another INT to win 20-13. 19-16 vs the Cowboys. Where is the dominance? 42-23 short week home win over Miami and back-up QB? I will give them Titans and Cleveland in back to back home games. But overall, this team has really gotten a lot of breaks, and luck along the way. There is a lot of love and I think inflated price on the Texans. Could be a nasty day as the weather is calling for 39-40 degrees and rain. Domed team from Houston playing in cold and nasty NJ weather. I'm dogging up. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

Nobody expected much from Herm Edwards at ASU. Yet, they are bowling. Good for him. But they will be without a huge piece of the offense as their star WR is sitting out getting ready for the NFL Draft. Bulldogs bring it and win this one going away. 5* Best Bet FRESNO STATE

Taking NORTH TEXAS. Will also be sprinkling in some ML on Mean Green. Right off the bat. Where is the motivation for Utah State? Yeah. A great year. 10-2 - close loss at Michigan State. Ranked in the Top 25. But losing to Boise crushed their MWC Title hopes. So here they are in an early bowl game vs Conference USA, in the New Mexico Bowl, which they have been to already. To add insult to injury, their HC is off to greener pastures to take over Big 12 Texas Tech and probably will be bringing his OC and DC with him. North Texas gets a shot at 10 wins and win a bowl game. NT is the only team in FBS to not trail a team by more than 1 possession in a game this season! 3 losses in conference play by a combined 13 points (3-8-2). Live dogs. 8* Sure Shot NORTH TEXAS

Taking the CHARGERS. Lost with these guys last week as they sleep-walked setting for FGs last Sunday. I get it short week. Big, bad KC with their awesome rookie QB. They didn't have an easy Sunday as the Ravens took them to OT. And what I really take away from that, and why I had this circled early in the season. The defense. Not the Chargers defense. But the Ravens defense. That is like the old-school Steelers, Seahawks defenses of past. Where you get hit on every play. And the next game you are just mush. Baltimore brings that type of defense every game. And they got it for a game, plus OT. The short home week doesn't help them much other than sleeping in their own beds. I have been on LAC all season. This is a good team. The offense behind Rivers will carve up this KC defense. The Chargers defense isn't terrible. I think they can make some plays here. Bonus with the 3.5, but I won't be shocked at an outright win tonight. 8* Sure Shot LA CHARGERS

I get that New Mexico hasn't looked good in its last 2 games. But this team was thought of as a Top 3 in the MWC. Colorado a bit lower in the PAC 12. If they had a pair of respectable losses their last 2 games, this game is a Pk or Lobos favored. But - 85-60 at St Mary's shooting 35% and 4-16 (15%) from 3 and you aren't hanging close to anyone. And losing 100-65 to New Mexico State. Well. 28% shooting from the floor will spell doom vs a last place team from any conference. Inflated home dog value.

That being said though, I can't fade Pitt here. In a AFC North dog-fight, they need wins. Off that loss, they need a win. With their star fill in RB out, they really need a win. Raiders for some crazy win won at Arizona and cost me in that game. Last I checked, this team is, for a lack of a better word, tanking. They didn't want to pay Mack. They didn't want to pay Cooper either. I like their TE. And if they don't make any adjustments from LW vs LAC, a 40-20 win will turn into another mind-boggling 30-27 game. Big Ben should be able to pick apart this bad defense. 4* Money Maker PITT STEELERS

New Orleans defense vastly improved since Game 1 (we did have Tampa). New Orleans with 7 sacks last vs Dallas. New Orleans off worse offensive game since 2010. I"m not impressed with Tampa beating Washington, SF and Carolina at home. The first 2 offenses scare nobody. And Carolina, well, they were 6-2 at one point, now 6-6, so they are sputtering. Tampa defense may look improved. But they won't shut down a determined Saints offense. Bucs do have a great offense. #1 offense, #1 passing in the league. But prone to TOs. The defense is 27th overall, 28th against pass. Hello Brees to Thomas for 180 and 2 TDs. I'm looking at Kimara, Ingram and even Taysom Hill to have a big impact today. 4* Money Maker NO SAINTS

Dogs are 15-4 ATS last 19 vs Philly. Why not take the Skins here you say? Well. Even though I put out a bunch of plays sometimes, I really try to put out my strongest numbers. And in MNF tonight, that edge is the UNDER. You know whenever I see that home team as less than a 7pt fave, I say to myself I here the talk at the water-coolers of the every-man. Oh man. You telling me the Eagles can't win by a touch-down. I love them tonight. Who is Colt McCoy. Give me Wentz all day. So we like the under based on what I think is the Philly DL getting pressure on the QB. Washington with some extra prep time which is huge this time of year. 6-5 Skins 5-6 Iggles. Desperate SB Champs. Chasing 7-5 Cowboys- Oh the humanity! FG wins it for someone. 4* Total Money UNDER Redskins/ Eagles

Now they are on a short week off that Monday nighter against Titans - and have big division game on deck vs Colts. Texans 4-11 ATS last 15 and 1-5 ATS last 6 at home. Browns come into town showing zero quit and battling every game. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Taking the BILLS. This group shows zero quit. Buffalo has covered 7 of 10 in the series. Miami showed some life with Tannehill behind center. But I like the Bills defense right now and the 3.5 is too good to pass up. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS
