Taking TEXAS STATE. So. Both teams with young QB. If this was really any other Big 10 school, or Rutgers had a junior or senior behind center, I would be on the home team. Wins will be tough to come by for both clubs. At Ohio State for Rutgers next as Chris Ash heads back to his coordinator days. But this team can't look ahead. I just don't think they are going to be very good this year. My son plays on a football team with the brother of a Rutgers player. The dad has echoed my same concerns about QB play. But also just about many Rutgers players not being on the physical level as their Big 10 counterparts. Texas State won't be confused with Texas or TCU or even SMU. But it is Year 3 of HC Withers run. I think they can keep it close. 4* Money Maker TEXAS STATE

Taking FLORIDA ATLANTIC. Have to grab the big points with Lane's squad. CUSA Champs this year. Have to be thought of as the top program with Marshall on their heels. This is a huge game for them. As a small, mid-major conference team, they have to show they can play with the big boys. Sooners breaking in a new QB and always a bit shaky on defense. I like that last year on the road, they lost to Wiscy 33-14. That is a tough venue and tough team to play. Shows me they won't be intimidated. Defense has 10 starters back which is huge to me getting this many points. Can't discount the fact that FAU new starting QB is a Sooners transfer. As if he needs more motivation for his first of the year. 8* Sure Shot FLORIDA ATLANTIC

Taking WISCONSIN tonight. Going to lay the big, big wood in this spot. I think Wiscy can quietly win the Big 10. Lot of drama around Ohio State. Michigan hasn't won a big game under Harbaugh. Nebraska is not ready for the big leap. Michigan State has struggled. This team just always seems to be in the mix. They get a Western Kentucky team that did win the CUSA in 2015 and 2016. But they lose their starting QB. Just 3 offensive starters back. Opening up in Madison is tough for any school. 2nd year HC Mike Sanford will have some more growing pains this season. Badgers should win the West in the Big 10. Should be able to name the score behind this offense tonight. 4* Money Maker WISCONSIN BADGERS

Taking the CARDINALS. Fading the Cowboys. Can't stand the HC. This guy is a miserable human who has cost bettors thousands of dollars over the years. Time for us to collect a little payback. Cowboys are set heading to the regular season. Arizona has a new coaching staff. They drafted their future QB, Josh Rosen. Sam Bradford is getting paid 15 Million right now. So, maybe he doesn't care much since he is getting him money. But the guy probably wants to prove he can stay on the field. I see him as their Opening Day starter. If they collapse, then I see the big rookie coming in, week 4, after a bye - along those lines. That being said, sorta liking the under a bit here also. But in any case, we are going - 5* Best Bet ARIZONA CARDINALS

Going UNDER here. Not really sure why this is so high. Andy Reid never cared about pre-season. We have new HC facing old team he was OC for. So safe to say the old team knows what he will call on offense with his young QB. And the HC will tell his DC what the opposing team will likely be deploying. Add to it that I think the Bears will struggle in a new system. Can't see this going over. 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs / Bears

The Cleveland Browns who even pre-season wins are something to get excited about. And make no mistake, this is an improved team. Their opening line vs Pitt has dropped and their odds on winning the division have increased. Tough laying with the record of the Browns HC. But I'll holding my nose. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Give me some Geno Smith vs the back ups. I think he tosses at least 2 TDs if he gets the entire second half. Cardale Jones wasn't impressive at all. Maybe he gets the 2nd half as the Chargers look for a back-up to Phillip Rivers. My money is on Geno. I know that he never would get the chance to replace Eli with the Giants after his time with the Jets. But I think that was some learning experience. Maybe he has grown up. Enough of my Geno rant.

Taking the RAIDERS. Another spot I almost went ML. Think the Raiders with their new HC are the play this pre-season. But what really intrigues me and why I like them is that I think EJ Manual is the real wild card. He is a guy that is looking to make something happen. He doesn't want to be a 3rd stringer. He is, like Teddy Bridgewater, a guy who was a starter. Connor Cook had better numbers last week, so I think we will see some friendly fire from both and that overcome whatever offense tosses together. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND RAIDERS

All the QBs for Miami need to do something. That is a huge factor for me in pre-season. And by them competing against each other, that should generate points for us. I am not high on the Panthers for the season. But that really doesn't matter here. It comes down to back up QB play.

Taking the CHIEFS. Faded the Falcons last week, and will do it again tonight. When I do pre-season, I look at who has things to prove. Atlanta has nothing to prove. KC is handing over their QB position to Mahomes. Well Henne and McGloin are looking to prove they are NFL backups. While Litton is an undrafted rookie. Whoever is behind center will be looking to make the coaches remember their play. Falcons are looking to escape camp with no injuries. Doubt they keep a 3rd string QB. But Schaub is 37, so maybe if one really impresses this August, something could happen. But that really doesn't weigh much on my selection tonight. We are on KC. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the JETS, again. Rolled with these guys last week. Will do it again. I see anywhere from +1 up to +3, but with some heavy (-130, -135) juice. If you can get a ML, I would take what you can get. Obviously think these guys win outright. Just not any MLs posted on the site yet. So we again will look to the NY QBs to be an advantage tonight. Everyone with something to prove. If Darnold is getting the nod with the 1st string, I can't see him playing for 2 series and sitting out. Kid is a rookie and needs reps. Plus, we have Teddy B. He is looking to prove he is healthy and can still contribute. Plus, McCown. Last year's starter. I really can't see a downside of any of those 3 guys playing the entire 2nd half of Game 2 Pre-Season. Redskins after Alex Smith will counter with Colt McCoy and Kevin Hogan.

Taking the MARINERS. Will grab Paxton at this price. Well his ERA is a higher than last year, but he did pass his strike-out total from 2017. Problem is that he has nearly doubled his HRs allowed. A's do bring some power. That being said, Paxton is 3-0 3.32 ERA in 7 games vs Oakland. He had a monster 16 strike-out game vs the A's back in May. I like Fiers. I have backed in over the years. He is a guy I like to look at in a nice dog role. He had a great 2.77 ERA in his home Detroit starts but on the road, that ballooned up (4.77). Both these teams right in the thick of the AL West and Wild-Card race. Should be a dog-fight, but I think we have the edge on the hill. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking the MARLINS. Straily with decent road splits sporting a 3.27 ERA in 8 starts and a respectable .213 BA against. Atlanta bringing up a Triple A youngster in Allard. Braves the better team. But whenever I see a call up, or spot start guy, guy off DL, I am going the other way. Pitch limits and unknowns. You can't think about laying a number like this on any fave in this spot. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the METS. This is not a good team. But getting this price, I will jump in. Nats just dealt a gut-punch that Harper on the block. This team was suppose to be getting ready for a World Series run. Instead, they are talking about dealing their young OFer. This year a total disappointment for both teams. But Mets have already been miserable since May with their injuries. Nats are in a downward spiral in my eyes. Injuries. Twitter. Trade rumors. Poor on-field performances. I'm grabbing the ugly dog. 4* Money Maker NY METS

Taking the ASTROS. I was looking to fade Paxton in his last start and he was pushed back. I will do it again tonight. Hasn't pitched since July 12. That was 17 pitches. Now off a small bull-pen session. Can't see a 120 pitch night. He will be limited. Not entirely sold on the Mariners bullpen. A nice surprise year no doubt. But this Houston team is pretty good. The fire one starter after another at you. Cole has 186 Ks (134.2 innings) on the year and is enjoying his time out of Pitt it seems. The splits are very close. 1.02 WHIP on the road (.93 home) .193 BA Against (.173 home) - 2.56 ERA to 2.52. If nothing, looks pretty consistent to me. Houston in off getting swept by the Rangers. Maybe they half-assed things. You enter a series 20 games ahead of a team, you might slack a bit. But sitting just 4 games ahead of Seattle, I expect a fired up team tonight to end this slide. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS

Taking the ROCKIES. Will fade the Cards here off the series against the Cubs. Would have really loved the Rox if STL would have finished off the sweep. But that being said, you know those teams hate each other. A bit of a let down tonight. And let's not forget that C-Mart is not the same. Was great in April/ May. But of late, eh, 10 innings 8 earned. Colorado is hot, I will grab the dogs. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES

Taking the PHILLIES. Nola with some great numbers on the year. Can't really nit-pick on his splits either. A .99 WHIP on the year, 1.00 on the road. A .202 BA Against, .190 on the road. Kid is really coming into his own this season. As for David Price. Well you know how I love to end my write ups with the Price is NOT right. An ERA of near 7 this month. So he was 'sharp' vs Detroit for 6 innings zero runs. This Philly team is not the Tigers. And yes, the Sox are having an epic season on pace for what, like 111 wins or something like that. But Price has 6 of their 33 loses. There is enough value here especially with us sending Nola to the bump to back the road dogs. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

Taking OAKLAND. How can you step in front of the A's? Erasing deficits like it's their job. Look Rangers are bad. Maybe not Orioles bad. But this team will have some missing faces soon. The bullpen is brutal. Even if we are down 4-1 in the first, how can you not feel confident in a come-back? After a great start, Colon is sporting a 6+ ERA his last 11 starts. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

Taking the MARLINS. Why so much love for the Nats? This team is falling apart. If Mad Max isn't on the hill, how can you trust them. Yeah, I had the Brewers yesterday and Roark pitched well. But I am not impressed. I can't see them 'flipping the switch' and somehow running off 20-3 run or something along those lines. Straily has pitched well lately. Only reason Milone is favored is because he wears a Washington Nationals cap. 4* Money Maker MIAMI MARLINS

Taking the BREWERS. Just not a fan of the Nats right now. Won't be shocked to see Milwaukee make a move here before the break. Think these guys are the real deal. Roark with an ERA over 7 since June. Sign up on Peralta. The kid has been great in his 2 home starts. 2 starts 13 innings 16 Ks 4 walks 4 hits 1 run. A .100 BAA .62 WHIP .69 ERA - for the year, 7 starts 2.65 ERA .96 WHIP - 50Ks 18 hits in 37.1 innings. 4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE BREWERS

Taking the GIANTS. Like this Suarez kid. He had just reeled off 6 starts allowing 2 or less runs before his last game before the All-Star break. I think he is really a different pitcher since his first 8 starts. A 2.28 ERA in his last 8 starts. Paxton, again, a guy who I like, is sporting a 5.70 ERA his last 6 starts. Can't think about laying 2-1 on his first start off DL. 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS .. liked SF as big dogs, will grab them as short dogs.

Taking OAKLAND. Thought about taking the A's RL +135 here. This Texas team is bad. Who is getting dealt this week? A's playing well. Mike Minor hasn't been terrible at home. But again, Rangers are just suffering a bad year. Montas has shuttled back and forth from AAA. But 3-0 in his 4 road starts, 2.66 ERA in 23 innings. He just seems to get by throwing the ball. A 3.35 ERA in his 8 starts shows he's a decent pitcher. But the low strikeout number, 30 in 48 innings tells me he isn't an elite, sexy arm. Especially in this day and age of hitters not caring about Ks. We'll grab the A's, who sit just 2.5 games back in the Wild Card hunt. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's

Taking the BRAVES. Will tell you, a bit weary with this short number. But the haves and have nots in MLB this year cannot be clearer. As we look at Miami, we have to think they are a have. Yes I said a HAVE. Who thought they would have 43 wins at this point. Now the Braves have really improved. This is a team that people knew had talent and was waiting for it to produce. And they have. 2 games out of first behind, the PHILLIES. Again. Where are the Nats? Enough of my rant. I like Newcomb. He hit a rough patch. His numbers this year vs Miami. 2 games, 2-0 12 innings - 5 hits -1 run allowed in back to back May starts. And he beat Urena in both of those starts. But in his 12 innings. 9 hits and 7 earned. At this price, have to side with the road team. Miami has dropped Urena's last 4 starts vs Atlanta. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA BRAVES
