Taking the ROYALS here. Look. Harvey is good. But he does have a history of giving up runs when he is too pumped up. I think the time off hurts the Mets a little. They were on a nice little ride. KC in back to back World Series'!! Just let that roll off the tongue again. This is going to be a fun series. But here, I think the KC bats will wear down the Dark Knight. As I said this post season. Mets can pitch. They have these hard throwing K machines. But the Royals make contact. Coupled with the time off, maybe a bit of nerves for the Mets, and KC should get Game 1 here. Too be honest, I think this line is screaming take the Royals. I mean, Harvey has clearly out-pitched Volquez for the season and his post-season starts. Yet, we are basically even money here. 4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Taking the COWBOYS here. Dallas still without Romo and Dez. Giants looked absolutely lost on MNF football losing on the road to Philly. Now they get a rested Cowboys team with a new QB in Cassel. Will he be the king this afternoon? I think he has a chance at an outright win here. First, the Dallas OL is still very strong. Giants haven't gotten any pressure on QBs all year and you or I can be in there and still have a couple seconds to send a fluttery pass a few yards. The Dallas D looks pretty solid. They got to Brady a few times. A guy not known for being knocked down. Greg Hardy is a beast, literally, on and off the field. 18 sacks in his last 16 games. I am sure he will be making Eli's acquaintance. Getting a FG + I can't turn my cheek at the 'Boys. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the RAMS here. Love this spot for STL. Love, love, love it. Rested. At home. Against the Browns, who, in cased you missed just lost a heart-breaker at home in OT to the Broncos. That on the heels of, winning a nail-biter on the road in OT against the Ravens. While recovering from a stinging 3pt loss on the road in San Diego on a FG as time expired. That is a bruising, 3 games stretch for most franchises. But this is the Browns. Let's give them a ton of credit for battling after each of those games. I can't see much in the tank here against the Rams. A rested bunch to boot. Now, the Rams as faves are in uncharted waters. In fact, when the Browns were favored over the Raiders we promptly cashed with visiting Oakland. But this is a totally different spot for both teams. The Rams defense didn't do terrible against better offenses. The get after the QB with 19 sacks, 2nd most in NFC, while Cleveland has been sacked the 2nd most (22) in the AFC. Plus, Gurley seems to have injected life in the offense which, granted hasn't put many points on the board. I just can't get past this situation though. Rams off their bye. Browns off another, close, physical game. Lay it. 10* Money Bomb STL RAMS

I know Washington has a couple nice games under their belts and you are thinking, this is Tampa, lay it. Well Cousins has more INTs than Winston. I actually like TB WRs Evans and Jackson. I thought the veteran and young wide-out, plus a solid rush attack with Martin would actually help Winston out in his rookie year. Hopefully, my continued faith in Lovie Smith will eventually get us some money! 5* Best Bet TB BUCCANEERS

Taking the COLTS here. I had NE -7.5 last week before the line steamed to 10. Now at 10, Indy might have been worth a look. Fact is, they lost by 7. What I saw was an improved Luck. I also cashed with the Saints on Thursday as an easy home dog winner over Atlanta. Now, I love my extra rest, especially in NFL. That being said, these aren't the same old Saints, and this is on the road. Indy has taken care of business at home. I expect it to continue. Truth be told, they don't run the most bizarre trick play in my memory, and maybe we are taking Saints since Colts in a let-down spot after upsetting the Patriots. But that didn't happen. So we are left with Luck and his oldies, Gore and Johnson, and some youngens, Moncrief and Hilton to expose a poor New Orleans defense. 8* Sure Shot INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Taking the PATRIOTS here. Last week we cashed NE as our Top 10* and will come right back to them here. Are you kidding me? 7.5.. I would lay 17.5. I said last week, and I will say it again. Brady is out to humiliate teams. Now he gets to tee-off on a leaky Colts defense (out-gained in every game) that may or may not have a less than 100% Luck at QB. Who, wasn't that good vs Bills or Jets when he was 'healthy.' So Brady, Mr Deflategate gets to face the team that started the whole sha-bang! Sign me up. Last time this team was accused, SpyGate, they rolled to a 17-0 regular season. Brady is about restoring his legacy and image. So running it up when he knows that everyone is watching is great medicine for his ego. Not that I like doing this but. Pats 51-17 over Jags.. Colts 16-13... 10* Money Bomb NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Revenger from the play-offs last year, catching a TD. And, off their bye week! Looks too good to be true. But I am not totally done with Seattle. Carolina 0-6 SU/ATS under HC Ron Rivera. This is a huge game for the Seahawks. A 'must win' in every aspect. They just blew a 17pt 4th quarter lead. This defense is still a good unit, and has a lot of pride. Carolina does not have the weapons that Cincy has, nor the home field edge that Seattle claims here at home. Russell Wilson is 28-2 SU at home so we know they are at least in the hunt for a cover. 5* Best Bet SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Taking the JETS here. New York comes in off a nice bye week, the Redskins, off a stomach turning OT loss. Look. I think this game comes down to defenses. I think FitzMagic will be able to do something with his offense. I don't hold Cousins in that regard. Especially against this Revis led secondary. Fitzy has had some success in the NFL. Cousins is still searching for it. It would be easy to say 'look-ahead' for NYJ with the Patriots up next. But Bowles will have these guys focused strictly on Washington. Jets have forced 13 TOs so far and Cousins has tossed 6 INTs already. Just a good scheduling spot here for NY, even with NE on deck. 4* Money Maker NY JETS

The players will be looking to prove themselves. And they face a rookie QB. They face a HC, in Whisenhunt who is 4-28 SU last 32 games. 4 Wins 28 LOSSES!! Miami is the more talented team.

Maybe the loss of their DC hurts more than it should. Sparty has won 11 straight Big 10 roadies. They were ranked #2 in pre-season AP poll. They were #4 before dropping to #7, with a win! Harbaugh has this team ready to go. 5* Best Bet MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

Taking BAYLOR here. 21. I would lay 40 here. I always say that on my Top 10*s, we don't triple our bets, or throw mortgage payments down for extra money. But I do say put an extra unit or 2 down. Baylor in this spot, to me, is as close to a sure thing as possible. Revenge from last year. That game cost them a spot at the Play-Offs. 64ppg, basically 360 yard EACH through the air and on the ground per game! West Va has 9 TOs the last 2 games vs Okie and Okie State. That was after getting fat on bottom feeders Georgia Southern, Liberty, and Maryland. Maybe the last 2 games aren't flukes. They lost some talent from last year. Now you are coming into a hornets nest looking for revenge with 18 straight home wins behind them and the most explosive offense in the game. GL trying to keep Baylor under 40 by the half. 10* Money Bomb BAYLOR BEARS

Taking HOUSTON here. A big number to lay on the road yes. But I can't see Tulane getting 20+ points here. I know the Cougars are good for 40-50, and possibly more if we get a few big plays and TOs. I said on my podcast Wednesday night - people wonder why Ohio State is struggling.. Well, their OC is now patrolling the side-lines of Houston as their new HC. That is why this offense is 46ppg. Tulane was just mauled by Temple 49-10. I am sure the Cougars are thinking we can do that. Plus, we get the revenge angle working in our favor. I don't think Tulane has the horses to put up points to stay close. Not going to overthink things here. Cougars the much better team. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON COUGARS

Taking the BLUE JAYS here. I have said on numerous podcasts and radio spots, this Blue Jays teams crushes mediocre pitching. And that is exactly what is on tap here Friday night. Edison Volquez went 17-6 with 206 Ks in a career year.. That was in 2008! He is what he is. A slightly better than .500 pitcher with a 4 something ERA. Just the kind of pitcher Toronto has crushed all year. Estrada took the most of his opportunity to be a full time starter posting a tidy 1.09 WHIP, .203 BA Against and an ERA of 3.13. Not too shabby. I said in July after the Price and Tulo deal, this was the team to beat. They have a great blend of speed (Ben Revere) power (Bats EE) leaders (Martin, Dickey). 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Taking the DODGERS here. Tough laying 150 against a guy like DeGrom. He fanned, what, 13 Ks last game. The kid is good. But how can we knock Greinke either. The guy had epic year, and was sharp his last time out. I would think about going RL here, but +165 doesn't seem like a good enough value on the return. This can easily be 1-0, 2-1, 3-2. Runs will be at a premium. I am the first to say I thought LA was going to choke away a playoff appearance, and this first round. I have seen enough from Kershaw in his outings and from the LAD themselves that this team has a bit of an attitude about themselves. They have a nice combo of veterans and youngsters. Let's lay it with Greinke here. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS

Taking WESTERN KENTUCKY here. Cashed with these guys as a Sure-Shot last week, and if this was home, would upgrade to a Best Bet. But laying nearly 5 TDs on the road is tough for most teams, but I am not missing out on any money here. North Texas is an absolute wreck. They gave up 66 to Portland State. Not even a real team. Their defense is very bad. No other words. Maybe WKU is looking ahead. I don't know. These guys will put up 50 just because they woke up in the morning. NT canned their coach. OC Canales takes over. Which he did when they fired the previous HC. Maybe the offense is part of the problem when you put up 3pts vs a FCS team? WKU can lock up a bowl bid here.

Taking the ASTROS here. I will be the first to say, that was about as bad a loss as a team can take the other day. Man, I had the 'Stros and, yes, I am guilty of counting my money there. The bullpen is a weak spot for them. But here, all hands on deck. If it gets bad early, we will see Keuchal and your worries should subside. Fact is, Cueto hasn't been all that effective since coming to KC. Hitters raking him to a .307 average in 13 starts. And his post-season numbers leave much to be desired (5.52 ERA 4 starts 14+ inning 1.70 WHIP). Houston playing with house money. They were predicted to be at least a year, maybe 2 away from really contending. Pressure is on the reigning AL Champs here. McHugh is 2-0 1.38 in 13 innings vs KC. For what it's worth, Astros 9-4 last 13 vs Royals. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS

Toronto looked into Hamels. They wanted him for this spot. They got David Price. No slouch. But he's on the bench in this Game 5. And make no mistake, they can say they needed him out of the pen, but the fact is, his post-season numbers are garbage. So Hamels, a LCS MVP and World Series MVP, is no stranger to big October games. 11 straight wins for Texas with the big lefty on hill.

Taking ARKANSAS STATE here. Will fade South Alabama here. Red Wolves bring the much more experienced squad to this game. They rolled the Jags last year at home, and should be able to produce a double digit win on the road here. South Alabama 1-7 ATS last 8 at home. With just 5 returning starters, the Jags will be hard-pressed to slow down a pretty good Red Wolves offense. Wolves a little questionable on the defensive side of the ball, but should be able to easily out yard and score these guys. Sometimes, when things look to easy, they are. But in this case, I am not going to over-think things. Arkansas State should be battling for a Sun Belt title, while South Alabama should be a bottom tier team. 4* Money Maker ARKANSAS STATE

If I was a real degenerate and not disciplined in my ways, I would probably unload on Pittsburgh tonight. Their defense is questionable at best. Rivers will probably move this team up the field often. But Pitt has some good offensive players themselves. I like the run game to really open things up here for Vick to get the ball to the talented WRs. The half point is nice and might save us from a push, but I won't be shocked if the Steelers pull an outright win here. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS

For me, it is about the way Donaldson and Eddie E have hit Holland. Both with a pair of homers. Texas has fared as well vs Dickey.

Absolutely. Tom Brady looking to humiliate every defense he faces and make the league look silly for 'deflate-gate'. Just another reason to jump on board. No Romo, Dez, or Sean Lee? I might get into 1989 Pro-Line Dr Ron Bash mode and start hyping this play like a used car salesman. Greg Hardy and Rolando McClain are great pieces for the Dallas D to have return. But make no mistake Lee is the heart. But, saying he is injury prone is an understatement. Bottom line here is pretty simple. How is Weeden and the Cowboys slowing down Brady? The simple answer, they aren't. I am not expecting to see 200+ yards of rushing offense from the 'Boys keeping Brady on the sidelines. 10* Money Bomb NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Taking the CHIEFS here. I'll be the first to say this is a big number for me to be laying. Especially with a KC team that has let me down week after week. Call me crazy, or insane. But I am back on them here. Losers of 3 straight, but those teams are 12-0! Denver, GB and Cincy. Not exactly chopped liver. Bears have some issues without a doubt. They edged Oakland last week, which, even as a home dog, they should have. Raiders haven't been road faves since when, 2002? Marcus Allen and Kenny Stabler! KC has their back to the walls. Alex Smith doesn't throw many INTs, while Cutler seems to enjoy it. The Bears defense doesn't impress, nor scare offenses. This is a clear step-down in class for KC. And you don't say that much at the NFL level. But Chiefs need to really cut loose on someone. They should have beat Denver. They had no problem moving the ball on the road against a very good Bengals defense. I can see their defense knocking Cutler out and getting at least 2-3 turnovers here. A frustrating 3 week stretch should be taken out with a vengeance against the Bears. A double digit win is mandatory here. I think that KC top 30 and I don't see Chicago getting more than 17-20. 10* Money-Bomb KC CHIEFS
