I think KP will have a tough time against the interior of Toronto. Lowery & DeRozen are head and shoulders better than whoever the Knicks play. Toronto should pull away and win this one by double digits. 4* Money Maker TORONTO RAPTORS

A mid-tier team in the PAC 12. I know the travel isn't kind for our Huskies. But they can use a nice upset win over a Power 5 school come selection Sunday. Would really be heavy on Northeastern if Stanford hadn't just lost to Eastern Washington. So they have their upset goggles on. We have an experienced back-court which always helps early. Stanford struggled shooting the ball last game, and that can be a season long problem. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN

But they aren't afraid on defense to play ugly and hit you either. Tennessee have an old time DC who knows a thing or two about Big Ben and the Pittsburgh offense.

Toledo will look to take out some frustration and get back on track. I know this is their 3rd road game in 4 weeks, but it is a cupcake. BG has given up 38-48-48 their last 3 losses. Take out the 2 games vs MAC elites Ohio and Northern Illinois, and Toledo has tallied 58-48 their 2 games vs lesser MAC teams. Rockets with the top offense in the MAC and just outside the Top 10 nationally. Bowling Green, a terrible defensive team, last in MAC play and 125 out of 129 teams overall giving up over 500 yards a game.

Taking KANSAS here. Look. Both of these teams are very talented. But with Kentucky, they just roll out like 7 new guys every year. It takes a bit of time to gel. These are still young kids. As much as Kansas gets new talent, they just seem to a plug a guy in who seems to have been there for 2-3 years. I just think Self does a good job with the young (one) and dones and having experience returning. Coach Cal always seems to be bringing in 5-6 star freshman to replace some top 10 draft picks.

Taking the REDSKINS today. Gonna zig-zag back on Washington this afternoon off that win. I would say it was a 'big win' and you can see a 'let-down' factor. But I don't think that is the case. Yeah, Seattle has been playing better. But this is the Super Bowl Champs, or the team that lost to NE. This defense is a bit more suspect and the OL + run game need some work. 3 missed FGs sure helps the road team score a win. Now, Minny in off bye which always helps. But the 'Skins should be getting some guys back. I see over a dozen guys day-to-day. So. I do like the Minny defense. I do like Zimmer. But as good as Case has been under center, I just don't like him laying points on the road. Redskins still in a position to make a wild-card run in my eyes.

So was the bye week a loss? Are they 'due' for a loss as they have rotated wins and losses all season? Do the books just not respect the Jags with this line? I have said the last 2 years this is a very talented defense. Chargers come in off their bye week. Last we saw them, they were failing to cover for us against NE. Prior, they had reeled off 3 straight. I like this offense. Rivers can sling it. The run game gets overlooked.

If it was the next game, I could see that. But the Eagles get their bye. They are rested from that 3 game run of putting up 121 points. These guys still playing solid defense.

Taking NORTHERN ILLINOIS here. Absolutely not a fan of laying 32 and backing huge faves like this is not good for our bankroll for the long haul. But a nice spot play and I believe we still have value even at nearly 5 TDs. So last we saw NIU they were losing in MACtion to Toledo 27-17 last week. Same day we saw Ball State get trucked 56-14 by Eastern Michigan. That was on the heels of their 58-17 home loss to Toledo. Ball State has lost in conference play by 52-28-47-31-42 points. Huskies with the best defense in the MAC. They lead the MAC in sacks and Ball St has allowed 20 their last 5 games. A win and NIU is bowl eligible. I see a 50-10 beating taking place to get that last weeks loss out of their system. 4* Money Maker NIU HUSKIES

But yet, here they are win 4 wins to Denver's 5. So the Nuggets really haven't been as sharp, or at least, winning like I think they can. But we have Brooklyn in off a win last night in Phoenix. Now they travel for a back to back in the altitude. Easy edge for Denver. Last game out, Denver lost to GS on this same court 127-108. The real telling stat for me. Not one starter scored in double figures. Expect a huge bounce-back off that loss from the entire team tonight. 4* Money Maker DENVER NUGGETS

Pack off the bye. Some time for Hundley to get a bit more settled in behind the line. He has the WRs to put some points on the board. Lions enter this place like a house of horrors, albeit that is when Aaron Rodgers was destroying them. This is the season for both teams. Lions under .500 GB at 4-3. Big division consequences here. Again. With the extra rest, McCarthy needs a big win here. The guy is terrible without his franchise QB. He has to prove he can actually win a game. That is why I think GB gets it done tonight.

So they have extra time to get ready for the Raiders who haven't been all that great themselves. Dolphins traded their home-run hitting RB and are looking to get a jolt of winning from the change. They have Moore under center. I didn't think Cutler would be as bad for as long as he was. Everything I read in August said Moore was the better QB. He sure as heck didn't show it last week. Now is his time to shine. Off that national tv loss, and back again in the lime-light here on Sunday, I expect the old 'circle the wagons' game from the home puppy. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS

Taking the COLTS. Man. I know it's ugly. But we have gone ugly before, with, albeit mixed results. As good as this Texans offense has looked, we can't say the same of the defense. And that is why this is a play mainly. This defense has lost guys across the field for various reasons. Colts have a bit of talent. I think they can put up 13-20 points. And I think that keeps us alive for at least a back door. Now as you know, most times I take dogs and I expect outright wins. In this case. I think we hang tough before maybe losing by 10. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Going BRONCOS and it will be ugly. Denver defense at least keeps us close in this one. I do like Wentz. But the guy doesn't know when to quit. This Broncos defense will make him do something stupid. The prodigal son returns to Elway, as Osweiler is now behind center. He will be tasked with not turning the ball over. Broncos losers of 3 straight, on a short week off being humiliated by KC on Monday night, and playing their 3rd straight road game. A bonus early game on East Coast. What can go wrong? Maybe Philly gets caught looking ahead to Dallas next week? Maybe the Denver pass rush does it's thing, and the 'No Fly Zone' returns. Maybe the Broncos triple-headed rush attack gets to nearly 200 yards. The points to good to pass up. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS

Eventually, the old adage of, we are what we are, takes hold. This Rams bunch is a new breed starting with their new HC. It has had a profound effect on the players. The Giants are the NJ team looking like it is in the mix to get one of the top QBs in the draft. Eli has nobody to throw to. Yes, I think NYG still have some playmakers on defense. But the run game and OL are miserable. WRs are nearly non-existent. Do the Giants have a coaching edge with McA-doo-doo? I don't think so. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Very talented. But 20 of those were vs the Texans and Colts. Now they have a RB to cover their brutal QB. But Cincy brings a decent unit to town this afternoon. Daulton has some weapons, and is a bit more polished than the guy across from him. Bengals turned things around with their OC change. I would really like to see more Mixon to keep the defense in check so we can get some Green targets. Are the Jags really this much better than Cincy?

Taking the TITANS here. Now these guys have given me fits this year. I really thought they would be an improved club. I had them in Game 1 against Oakland. I really thought this offense would be a ground and pound type unit with a decent defense to fall back to. I still like the run game. I don't like the Ravens at all. I had Miami against the Ravens and was smashed. But that I think has more to do with the state of the Dolphins. This Baltimore team is still a banged up unit. Flacco has some extra rest, but we could easily see Mallet here. And to be honest, I think that is a better option if you like the Ravens. Flacco has been bad. 8 INTs and 6 TDs. I think the combo of Murray and Henry is the difference and wears down this Baltimore front. 8* Sure Shot TENNESSEE TITANS

Taking ALABAMA tonight. I hear everyone saying that Georgia should be 1 in the Playoff Poll. That 'who has Alabama beat' this year. You can't use the 'eye test'. Is that really a question when we are talking about the Tide? Well let's see. In 2014, 1st year of the Playoffs, Bama was the 1 seed and lost to eventual National Champion Ohio State. In 2015, they were the 2 seed and won the National Championship. In 2016 they lost in the National Championship to Clemson. Do people forget that epic game? 2 of the 3 years they were in the Championship. You can say they can easily be 2-0 or 0-2. But don't tell me that this coach will not have his teamed fired up here. I don't care if they are laying 30. This guy destroyed Vandy because statistically speaking, Vandy was the best defense in the SEC. You don't think that riled him up when a reporter asked how does it feel to face the best defense in the SEC? And Saban thinking to himself, I have had 18 defensive guys drafted to the NFL the last 4 years. I know LSU is talented. But their coach is in over his head tonight. 5-0 SU 4-1 ATS last 5 vs LSU with Bayou Kitty Cats putting up barely 10ppg. When you are this good, you need every bit of motivation for the disrespect card to be played. And the Committee just made LSU road kill. 8* Sure Shot ALABAMA

Taking KENTUCKY here. Now. We can think let-down after a huge win last week. But wins are not taken for granted in this program. And coming off a win where they turned the ball over 4 times, well, the 'Cats might have some pep in their step. Not so much for Ole Miss. If their lame-duck Coach had any thoughts of taking over, or finding a gig at some other smaller program, well that went out the window after blowing a 31-7 lead. Where is the motivation? Are they running the table and making a bowl? I doubt that. Kentucky has Vandy on deck, who they should beat. Then a loss at Georgia. Then home vs Louisville who isn't having a great year.
