Taking MANHATTAN. I lost fading Siena the other night. Will come back for more here on Saturday. One. I like the Jaspers. Think they are really the only team to give Iona a run. Two. Siena comes in off of giving that Iona every it could handle. A 14pt lead in the game, before losing by 2. I think they gave it everything in that spot, and could be very flat, and the tank will run dry giving us room to pull out a nice double digit win. 4* Money Maker MANHATTAN

I think the combo of the Bulldog defense, and the fact that they are just a superior team, gets us the cover today. 4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE

Taking the FALCONS today. You can grab the 2.5, but I will go 3 just to take back a little extra cash. So, we cashed on Atlanta last week. I am not sure why everyone is shocked they won. As I said. Against a rookie HC and basically, a rookie QB, I would take a veteran QB and HC playing with a chip, the size of a Super Bowl Trophy, on their shoulder. And what do they walk into here. Only an Eagles team that has been average at best. Now, I like Foles. In fact, I backed Philly over the Giants and while they won, they couldn't cover. Then we had that Monday night game vs the Raiders. Finally, the Nate Sudfeld game. Enter our Falcons. This isn't last years team. They are playing much better defense. The fact is, with no Wentz, this game is a toss up. ATL the fave really based on the QBs. Both defenses are pretty solid. And both teams can run the ball. I am just coming back to what they learned last year. Philly, like the Rams, are rolling the dice with house money, up-starts. Bright futures. Falcons on the other side of that. Veterans. Looking to redeem themselves. 5* Best Bet ATLANTA FALCONS

Taking SOUTH ALABAMA this afternoon. It would be easy to say we have to back the defending Sun Belt Champs with this line even on the road. But they are not playing well right now. They have dropped 3 of 4 to start conference play. This is their 3rd straight road game, again, in conference play. Every team will come at them just a bit harder, as they are the defending champs. But I will take my chances with the Jaguars who won both games last year, and 6 of the last 7. Maybe they just have Troy's number. 4* Money Maker SOUTH ALABAMA

Taking MONTANA here. It might look like a good call taking a home team that scores 90ppg in a Pk'em. Not for me though. I look at a couple bloated scores (116 on Linford, 125 on Portland Bible College! 111 on Willamette) and then at what has been done in conference play (75 Sac State, 74 Eastern Washington - 93 on Montana State who gives up nearly 80ppg). Forget that the Grizzlies have come in covering their last 10. We will focus on a defense giving up less than 70ppg. Montana is one of the top teams in the Big Sky. I did not have the Vikings as high. And I can't discount how they push the tempo. They have beaten 'big names' already this year. (Stanford, Cal, Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara, lost by a bucket to Butler). Conference play is a different animal though. And you have to ask yourself why a team that appears better by their wins and scoring ability is not favored. 4* Money Maker MONTANA GRIZZLIES

Last years 2 point loss at Fullerton was the only game in the last 4 that was less than a thirteen point victory. 20-19-13. Titans off an OT game. Maybe the tank runs a little dry late.

Taking SAN DIEGO. I'm buying these guys. They place tough. Good defense. I know this is a PK so there is no point value. But this team has lost to Mary's by 7 on the road. No shame in that. They dropped an OT game to North Texas. But that was on the heels off a big road win against PAC 12 Colorado. Losing to San Diego State isn't a bad loss. I don't like them losing to Santa Barbara. But they have beaten teams like Pacific already. Pacific with an OT win, a 1pt win, and a 2pt win. And near 40pt win over something called Arkansas-Fort Worth. 7-10 can just as easily be 4-13. And 2-13 if you take out that no-name team. I like my home teams. But I can't even hold my eyes and play the Tigers.

Taking ALABAMA tonight. So. Tide is the team that shouldn't have been playing say a lot of people. Even though as the 4 seed they were to be favored over every other team in the playoffs, and the country for that matter. It is easy to say that the only real team Alabama played, Auburn, beat them. And then you Auburn beating what was the #1 Alabama and then #1 Georgia before falling to Georgia in the SEC Championship. But this Bama team was #1 for nearly all season for a reason. Just like they are favored over every team for a reason. Again, they have been dogs exactly once since 2010. A 1.5 to these same Georgia Bulldogs in 2015. Crimson Tide rolled to a 38-10 win. We know what to expect from Alabama. I thought they would cruise to a relatively easy win over Clemson and they did. I think the Clemson defense is as good, or better than Georgia's. Now. Is Baker Mayfield and the Sooner offense better than the Tide. Absolutely. But they pasted this defense for 48 points. And really, they should have won. And I am not saying that as a guy who had the Sooners. Their 1st year HC Riley really wet the bed when it mattered most. Kirby Smart is an old Bama assistant. Well, Saban is 11-0 winning with an average score of 38-10 over his old coaches. 427-111 in those 11 games Tide have outscored Tennessee (Dooley) , Colorado State (McElwain), Florida (Muschamp)+ (McElwain), Florida State (Jimbo) , and Michigan State (Dantonio. I am not expecting some wild game like that. I think this is going to be more along the lines of Bama/LSU, Auburn/ Oregon than the last 3 playoffs where we saw at least 60 scored in each game. These are really 2 of the same molded programs. But I am backing the teacher over the student. 5* Best Bet ALABAMA

We saw the Bucs march down the field last week as time was running out to score a win. On a side not, that TD sent it Over the total and we go 7-2 instead of a super 8-1. I just think that we have seen Carolina knock off the Pats and Vikes. A pair of pretty good teams. We cashed with the Falcons over these same Panthers.

Taking the JAGUARS. Forget the line here. To me, this game is pick the winner. And if you think the Bills cover, then you think they win outright. I don't think they win outright. I think the Jaguars defense is a beast. I think with a gimpy McCoy, if he even plays, we know he is not near 100%, that Taylor will force some things. That plays into the Jax strength, their defense. Yes, it is frightening laying near double digits with Blake Bortles. Jags have won their last 5 at home, last 3 putting up 35ppg. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Taking the FALCONS here. Now. I know that the Rams had a great year. Rookie HC takes off with a 2nd year QB who looked like a bust and turns 4-12 into 11-5. But those two combinations is exactly why I am on the visitors in this spot. Atlanta really changed gears down the stretch going 6-2. Rams not exactly with a huge home field edge here either. Falcons couldn't make a stop in the 2nd half of the Super Bowl. But the defense is what has improved this year while the offense has taken a step back. I do like this Rams team. But all I have heard from people is, how don't the Rams win by a touchdown? For me, this is too many points to give to a playoff tested experienced team. Don't be shocked if Falcons win this outright. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

We cashed the Titans as our Top 10* Money Bomb last Sunday. But we don't fall in love with teams. We like numbers. Value. We started the season backing the Titans over the Raiders. And we will end their season fading them vs the Chiefs. KC a bit different now with their new OC calling plays. I just don't see Tennessee being able to hang close here.

Time for a little Jasper revenge. 0-2 last season, and losers of 3 straight to Hawks, I think Manhattan scores the outright win tonight. I think these guys are near the top of the MAAC. We also have some trends working in our favor. Underdog a perfect 5-0 ATS last 5 in the series. Manhattan on a 7-0 ATS run in the series, and have covered 4 straight here in NJ.

Taking ALABAMA. So here we are. 3rd times a charm right. Who takes the crown? I had Clemson ML last year. Had Alabama minus points the year before. Back to the Tide. Look. All I heard coming into the playoff selection was how Bama didn't play anyone. Lost to the only good team they played. Didn't deserve to be here. Forget the fact they were ranked #1 all year long. You don't think Saban uses this crap to motivate. Hard to motivate when you have been favored in 50 straight games or whatever it is. Well. After I typed that I went all the back to the 2010 season. 1 game. They were a 1.5pt dog at Georgia in 2015. They won 38-10. These guys are healthy. The defenses might offset. But Bama offense has the edge. They aren't facing Watson who carved them up. Heck, we saw what he did in his brief NFL stint. No. They get Kelly Bryant. 13 TDs 6 INTs on the year. In the 2 previous Championships, we saw 76-75, Bama by 1. That was with Watson. As good as Clemson is. I can't sit here and think they are that good right now. I know you will here about their great bowl run the last few years. We aren't laying 6.5 like the previous 2 years. It's a FG. And I am in on the Tide. 8* Sure Shot ALABAMA

Taking OKLAHOMA. Backing the Sooners to make it to the Championship. Strength vs strength. Georgia defense, vs the Heisman winner and a monster offense. I know, I know. Defense wins champions. Stoops can't win big games. Throwing that out here. This Sooner defense is good enough to slow things down on Georgia. I don't think the Bulldogs can do the same with Oklahoma. I am trying to find the offense they faced that is anything like what they see in this game. I have no idea what the heck happened at home vs Iowa State. Laying 31, losing outright. That is some mind-boggling crap. But that being said - Sooners went to the Horseshoe and dominated Ohio State. They took care of a pretty tough TCU squad twice. Georgia put up 50+ on Missouri who put up 16 on Texas. Not that I like comparing teams this way. But Georgia has yet to face this kind of team. I think Sooners win this by double digits. 10* Money Bomb OKLAHOMA

Yes, they beat then #1 Georgia, and then #1 Alabama. But playing an undefeated team, even from the AAC will get their attention. Scott Frost and all the assistants stayed on to complete the 13-0 season. We know they will all-in here. Slaying an SEC team? A team that beat a pair of #1 ranked teams. Heck. That is a nice trophy to hang their hats on their. This game has absolute 45-44 thriller written all over it. Or the Tigers absolutely mail it in and get throttled 47-13.
