11-01-16 | Kings +3.5 v. Heat | 96-108 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Miami 7:30 ET Kings (+) over Heat- Miami opened the season with a road win at Orlando but have fallen two straight games at home in American Airlines Arena. The Kings are 2-2 and are off a loss at Atlanta where center DeMarcus Cousins had limited playing time due to foul trouble. Tonight presents a true throwback match-up as Miami's Hassan Whiteside emerges as one of the the better true centers and Cousins clash.The Heat are last in the NBA free throw shooting percentage and that hurts in games when laying points. Take SACRAMENTO! |

10-31-16 | Vikings v. Bears +4.5 | Top | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 28 h 38 m | Show |
Minnesota at Chicago 8:30 ET Bears (+) over Vikings- Oh Boy! Jay Cutler returns and Bears fans everywhere are shuttering. Minnesota has had eight full days to stew over their first loss of the season last week against the Eagles. Chicago meanwhile just continues to be their miserable selves failing not only to win be even be somewhat respectable (1-6 ) against the points. Most will think that the Vikings will be ready to bounce bad after incurring their first loss of the season last week in Philadelphia but after that loss burst your bubble it is difficult to get 'up.' The Bears have looked so bad and need as professional to show up in this 'Monday Nighter'. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Eagles +5 v. Cowboys | 23-29 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 27 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Dallas 8:30 ET Eagles (+) over Cowboys- These two are the main contenders in the NFC East as the Eagles ended a two-game losing streak by beating previously undefeated Minnesota. A pair of impressive rookie quarterbacks square off as Carson Wentz who has cooled off after a great start is opposed by Dak Prescott and rookie running back Ezeliel Elliot and a defense that has held four straight opponents to 17 points or less. The Eagles on the other hand has allowed four of their six opposition 14 points or fewer. This game will go a long way to deciding who will represent the NFC East. Take the EAGLES! |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Chargers v. Broncos -4 | 19-27 | Win | 100 | 24 h 44 m | Show | |
San Diego at Denver 4:05 ET Broncos (-) over Chargers- Having posted two straight wins San Diego has plenty of confidence as they enter Mile High looking for their first series sweep of Denver wince 2010. The Broncos are off a dominating performance over the Texans Monday night winning 27-9 and look for revenge over the Chargers who defeated them on a Thursday night 21-13 just two weeks ago. 'We' had a Best Bet winner with the 'Bolts' that night and now we play against them as the Broncos even the season series. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Patriots v. Bills +6 | Top | 41-25 | Loss | -103 | 22 h 51 m | Show |
New England at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (+) over Patriots- New England has lost one game so far this season and that was to Buffalo before Tom Brady was re-instated. New England and the rest of Tom's teammates are seeking revenge for that loss inflicted on the Patriots by Buffalo (16-0) in Foxboro the first weekend in October. Brady has been near perfect since his return with eight touchdown passes and no interceptions and has an incredible 25-3 record against Buffalo. The Bills were caught in a look-ahead situation last Sunday as they were pounded by the lowly Dolphins in Miami. This week come they will be ready Sunday. Take BUFFALO! |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Raiders v. Bucs +1 | 30-24 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 29 m | Show | |
Oakland at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Buccaneers over Raiders- Hard to believe that the Raiders are 4-0 on the road and just 1-2 in Oakland as they travel to Florida to battle another imposter in the Buccaneers. After defeating Jacksonville 33-16 on the road last week we realize that victory isn't as solid as it first appeared as the Jaguars have proven to be little opposition. Tampa Bay has not been a winner at home going 3-15 straight-ip in their last 18 as hosts but somehow will squeak out a win here. Take TAMPA BAY! |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Chiefs v. Colts +3 | 30-14 | Loss | -120 | 21 h 16 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Chiefs- Kansas City seems to have left that 43-14 beating at the hands of the Steelers behind them as they have won two straight after a bye week to mend their wounds. Indianapolis has won two of their last three including their implosion in the final 3-minutes against Houston in their overtime Sunday night loss two weeks ago. The Colts have won five of their last six meetings including a remarkable 45-44 win in the 2013 Wild Card game where the Chiefs blew a 38-10 lead. The beat goes on here. Take the COLTS! |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Redskins +3 v. Bengals | 27-27 | Win | 100 | 18 h 22 m | Show | |
Washington vs. Cincinnati 9:30 ET Redskins (+) over Bengals- It's getting to that time that the Bengals establish what a hoax they really are. The idea that Cincinnati is favored in this match-up is laughable as they only look like a contender when they play sub. 500 teams, you know, like the Jets, Dolphins and Browns, otherwise they play like dogs with losses to Dallas, New England, Pittsburgh and Denver. The Redskins are a little banged-up but play with more heart and that will be the difference here. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Clemson v. Florida State +4.5 | Top | 37-34 | Win | 100 | 24 h 33 m | Show |
Clemson at Florida State 8:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Tigers- For all 'intense and purposes' this game will decide the ACC Atlantic Division as it has for the last seven years. Florida State enters this contest flawed as they have already been beaten twice by Louisville and North Carolina while No.2 Clemson is 7-0 and is lead by DeShaun Watson who had 404 totals yards against the Seminoles in last year's 23-13 home win. The home team has won 12 of the last 14 games in the series. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Grizzlies +2 v. Knicks | 104-111 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Memphis at New York 7:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Knicks- So, the 'new' group of underachieving 'Super Stars' are playing in Madison Square Garden and New Yorkers are a gaga. The lady may sing but this group just hasn't put it together. The Derek Rose trial is behind him and them as he missed crucial per-season time and former and new team mate Joakiam Noah went scoring in his Knocks debut. Memphis was without two starters in their opening night victory over Minnesota but Tony Allen and Chandler Parsons (former Knick) will be ready tonight. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Auburn v. Ole Miss +5 | Top | 40-29 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 49 m | Show |
Auburn at Mississippi 7:15 ET Rebels (+) over Tigers- Boy, I hope 'we' are not being set-up here as it look too good to be true for me. Last week 'we' posted Auburn 56-3 as my 'Major Shocker' running for 697 yards and setting the SEC rushing yardage record for a single game. Mississippi meanwhile, lost their second straight and are now looking for their second SEC win. The Tigers have had the edge series wise going 10-3 at Ole Miss and 29-11 overall. Don't let that scare you as the will have trouble defensing Kelly's air strikes. Take MISSISSIPPI! |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Arizona State v. Oregon -9.5 | 35-54 | Win | 100 | 20 h 4 m | Show | |
Arizona State at Oregon 5:00 ET Ducks (-) over Sun Devils- Oregon is in the mist of a five-game losing steak their longest in 20 years. The best thing they have going for themselves (aside from the embarrassment) is that they have defeated the Sun Devils nine straight times. In years past no one really complained about the porous Oregon defense but now that the are surrendering 50 points a game (in the last five losses) people are still saying 'we need to score more points' and score more points they will this after noon. Take OREGON! |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Texas Tech v. TCU -9 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 18 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Texas Christian 3:30 ET Horned Frogs (-) over Red Raiders- I must admit I was surprised at the ease West Virginia dispatched (34-10) TCU Saturday but more then pleased when Texas Tech covered against Oklahoma helping us to our huge winning Saturday. This is a bad spot for the Red Raiders coming off a national TV effort and with Texas on deck at home. The Horned Frogs have dropped three straight against the number with only a one-point win over Kansas to show for it. The last time Tech was in Fort Worth TCU hung 82 on them. I don't expect that but I do expect a maximum effort and an easy victory. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Baylor v. Texas +3.5 | Top | 34-35 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show |
Baylor at Texas 3:30 ET Longhorns (+) over Bears- No. 6 Baylor bring their 6-0, 3-0 unbeaten record into Austin to play the struggling Longhorns who are off a loss at Kansas State. The Bears are well rested having had a week off and having played Kansas and Iowa State in their previous two games. Texas has already had some battles defeating Notre Dame 50-47 in the opener and took Oklahoma down to the final gun 45-40. I really do question Baylor's toughness as their easy schedule hasn't proved much. Take TEXAS! |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Duke v. Georgia Tech -6 | 35-38 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 23 m | Show | |
Duke at Georgia Tech 12 Noon ET Yellow Jackets (-) over Blue Devils- Upon further review I learned how well the Blue Devils have played against the triple-option. Duke has already defeated Georgia Tech and their option the last two seasons and dispatched the Army earlier this month. The Yellow Jackets have rushed for 241 or more yards in five of their last six games and are looking to keep the Blue Devils winless (0-3) in the ACC. Two excellent coaches will try and out-wit each other but the brute force of the Jackets powerful running game will be the difference. Take GEORGIA TECH! |
|||||||
10-28-16 | Warriors v. Pelicans +10.5 | 122-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Golden State at New Orleans 9:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Warriors- My first instinct was to take Golden State to bounce back from their beating opening night to San Antonio, then I realized that everybody else was probably thinking the same thing. I remember Cassius had that 'lean and hungry look...he thinks too much' , and that might be happening to the Warriors. Is their chemistry dead, probably not, is it different it certainly is and will it get better, yes in time. But, not soon enough to get past Anthony Davis in New Orleans. Take the points and the PELICANS! |
|||||||
10-28-16 | Lakers v. Jazz -8.5 | Top | 89-96 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
L.A. Lakers at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (-) over Lakers- We were able to 'clock' the Lakers in their opening win against Houston Wednesday as all of Los Angeles celebrated for Luke Walton as he is the new coaching guru in the NBA. The new and improved Lakers may be without Kobe Bryant but even the discussion or thoughts of him are now gone. Utah opened the season at Portland Tuesday and were handed a 114-106 defeat. Returning to Salt Lake City for their home opener the Jazz run down the Lakers. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
10-28-16 | Cavs v. Raptors +3.5 | 94-91 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Toronto 7:05 ET Raptors (+) over Cavaliers- The Cleveland Cavaliers opened the season by throttling the New York Knicks 117-88 on Tuesday as 'King James' started the season with a triple double recording 19 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds as he show his all-round talents. Toronto opened Wednesday with a through 109-91 victory over the Pistons. Cleveland ended the Raptors playoff hopes last season winning the series 4-2 and winning by an average 28.5 points. They did manage to win 2-of-3 during the regular season so I can see them winning here. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
10-28-16 | Navy v. South Florida -6.5 | 45-52 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Navy at South Florida 7:00 ET Bulls (-) over Midshipmen- This I believe is one of those 'come-get-me' games as the Navy sailing into Tampa 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the American Athletic Conference and the South Florida Bulls I will speak about now. The Bulls are 103rd in the nation in total defense while Navy has one of the best offensives in the country including 100th in rushing defense and the Midshipmen have Will North who has rushed for 316 against Houston and Memphis. Now, you say 'hey, I'll take the Middies with the points...DONT! This one is too easy and as I said a 'Come-get-me.' Take SOUTH FLORIDA! |
|||||||
10-27-16 | Spurs v. Kings +8.5 | 102-94 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Sacramento 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Spurs- San Antonio opened their season (and ours) with a huge win 120-100 over Golden State and will now christen Sacramento's new arena Golden 1 Center. The Kings now only have a new arena but a new coach as well as Dave Joerger who opened the season with a 113-94 win over Phoenix last night. I realize how good the Spurs are but with that huge win over the Warriors and the knowledge that they defeated the Kings in all three meetings last year they may be a bit cocky (they have a right to be) and that doesn't work in pro sports. Take the KINGS! |
|||||||
10-27-16 | California v. USC -16 | Top | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
California at Southern California 10:30 ET Trojans (-) over Golden Bears- A little difficult to understand why the line on this game is so high when you consider that they both have the same 4-3 record and this is a Pac-12 conference game. California has played two straight overtime games and now they must prepare on a short week. Quarterbacking will be the key and Cal's Davis Webb leading the nation in pass attempts while USC's Sam Darnold has 11 touchdown passes and only one INT since taking over completing 100 of 150 passing attempts. The line tells me that the USC defense which has allowed less then 20 points in their last three games will be the difference. Take USC! |
|||||||
10-27-16 | Jaguars +3.5 v. Titans | 22-36 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Jacksonville at Tennessee 8:25 ET Jaguars (+) over Titans- I remember during the pre-season all the 'experts' and pundits predicted that Jacksonville was the dark horse to make the playoffs and that Blake Bortles has arrived as a premier quarterback. Well, Bortles may be emerging but is difficult to post wins when you have the 30th ranked rushing offense at just 76.7 yards per game on the ground and they are dead last in third down conversion rate at 27.6%. Tennessee who is 1-3 on the road isn't all that much better even with Marcus Mariota throwing eight touchdowns in his last three games they still have to rely on DeMarco Murray running the ball the Titans average less then 21 points per game. With these two below the watermark clubs I'll take the points. Take the JAGUARS! |
|||||||
10-26-16 | Rockets v. Lakers +7 | 114-120 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
Houston at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Rockets- Gone from the Rockets is Dwight Howard but do the headaches remain? Scoring machine James Harden is happy to be playing without Howard and to be coached by offensive-minded Mike D'Antoni. Luke Walton has taken over the reins for the Lakers young talent that has added veterans Luol Deng, Jose Calderon and Tim Mozgov. With D'Angelo Russell, Julius Randle and rookie forward Brandon Ingram No. 2 overall pick from Duke maturing fast. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
10-26-16 | Wolves +2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 98-102 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 12 m | Show |
Minnesota at Memphis 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Grizzlies- This one seems a bit odd right off the bat as Memphis a playoff team last season at 42-40 is such a small favorite at home against Minnesota who won only 29 games last season. Maybe the odds makers believe the Timberwolves have improved by because of personal but because of their new coach Tom Thibodeau who of course coached the Chicago Bulls for five seasons averaging 55 wins a season. The Grizzlies have a new coach as well in David Fizdale who has to deal with three players that have maxed-out contracts. Both these clubs like to bang and play defense but Thibodeau has a tougher mentality. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
10-26-16 | Nuggets +2 v. Pelicans | 107-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Denver at New Orleans 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Pelicans- It looks like the same old story in New Orleans. They have one of the best and most dynamic player in the NBA with Anthony Davis but he has trouble staying healthy and so do many of his teammates as guard Tyreke Evans has knee surgeries, Quincy Pondexter knees and Jrue Holiday who was hurt most of last season is with his ailing wife. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry appears in be in over-his-head at times. Nuggets play together and can win here. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
10-25-16 | Spurs +9.5 v. Warriors | 129-100 | Win | 100 | 12 h 58 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Golden State 10:30 ET Spurs (+) over Warriors- How do you improve on 73 wins? You really can't even win more even with the addition of Kevin Durant. Golden State completed the best regular season in NBA history but now they will be more focused in the post season and look to just play well and stay healthy. The 'nre; look Spurs will be without Tim Duncan for the first time in 20 years but believe me they will look and play the same as the club that won 67 games last season. If not for the Warriors record setting season the San Antonio Spurs would be discussed as one of the great NBA seasons. Warriors coach Steve Kerr admits that the Warriors are not playing together as he hopes, yet. Look for the Spurs to take this one down to the final horn. Take SAN ANTIONIO! |
|||||||
10-24-16 | Texans v. Broncos -7.5 | 9-27 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
Houston at Denver 8:30 ET Broncos (-) over Texans- The moment I saw this match-up I immediately looked toward Denver to smash living daylights out of the over-rated Texans. To start with Houston is in a terrible spot with their coaching as Jim O'Brian is over-matched and their 18 million dollar quarterback Brock Osweiler is showing why the Broncos let him go. Both clubs are 4-2 with Denver having lost their last two while Houston staged a huge comeback in the final 2:47 seconds to win over the Colts last Sunday night. All four of the Texans wins have come at home while they have yet to win on the road (0-2) averaging only six points. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
10-23-16 | Patriots v. Steelers +7 | Top | 27-16 | Loss | -106 | 23 h 54 m | Show |
New England at Pittsburgh 4:25 ET Steelers (+) over Patriots- Ya know somethin', we all saw New England go without their starting quarterback and they managed to go 3-1 and even without Tom Brady the 'line' adjustment was nothing like what we are seeing with the Steelers Ben Roethlisberger sidelined. New England is better then a touchdown favorite and it is only the second time in 20 years the Steelers have been dog this big at home. Pittsburgh has won seven in-a-row at home and still have explosive weapons in Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell. Steelers suck it up at home after getting pounded in Miami. Take PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
10-23-16 | Vikings v. Eagles +3 | Top | 10-21 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show |
Minnesota at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Eagles (+) over Vikings- Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford can expect a warm friendly greeting when he returns to play against his former club...NOT! Philadelphia fans are not know for their kindness toward athletes even their own but they are exceedingly brutal to visitors especially those with a home town history. Minnesota come to the city of 'Brotherly Love' undefeated putting their laurels on a defense that is beside with injuries. They have already lost their starting quarterback and running back as they have a ground attack that averages only 3.1 yards per attempt. The Eagles have to find a way to fill the void of tackle Lane Johnson who is serving a 10-game suspension as Carson Wentz has been subjected to sacks and pressure since his ban two weeks ago. Still, at home the Eagles soar. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
10-23-16 | Bills v. Dolphins +3 | Top | 25-28 | Win | 100 | 20 h 42 m | Show |
Buffalo at Miami 1:00 Dolphins at Bills- The Bills have turned their season around after starting 0-2 they have reeled off four straight wins in impressive fashion and are off a 45-15 rout of the Niners last time out. The Dolphins finally played a full 60-minutes against Pittsburgh and posted a much needed 30-15 win. Buffalo will suffer with the LeSean McCoy's hamstring issues and Tyrod Taylor's inconsistent passing. Miami will need to protect Ryan Tannehill who didn't get sacked last week but had 17 in the previous five games. Miami rallies here...take the DOLPHINS! |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Ohio State v. Penn State +19.5 | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 21 h 35 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Penn State 8:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Boy, I hate playing against Urban Meyer who remains undefeated with the Buckeyes in the Big Ten road winning their last 20. Penn State can counter with 10 wins in their last 11 home games but that won't mean much if they don't play better against the run where they have allowed 800 rushing by three 'Big Five' schools Michigan, Pittsburgh and Minnesota. Playbook tells me undefeated double-digit favorites from game six on out are 10-27 ATS. Play the offs and take the points. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech +14 | 66-59 | Win | 100 | 22 h 36 m | Show | |
Oklahoma at Texas Tech 8:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Sooners- Interesting storyline here as Oklahoma start quarterback Baker Mayfield will return to Lubbock to play for the first time since transferring for Texas Tech to Oklahoma. The Sooners opened the season with the toughest schedule in the nation losing to both Houston and Ohio State. The Red Raiders were held to 17 points at home last week by West Virginia as they were looking ahead to this encounter and it snapped a NCAA record nine straight home game scoring at least 50 points. Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said after Saturday's defeat 'that is the worst I've ever seen at Texas Tech.' They atone here. Take the RED RAIDERS! |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Arkansas v. Auburn -10.5 | Top | 3-56 | Win | 100 | 21 h 31 m | Show |
Arkansas at Auburn 6:00 ET Tigers (-) over Razorbacks- Man, oh man! If this game doesn't stink to high heaven I don't know what does. I mean Arkansas just came over a through beating of Mississippi 34-30 as a 9-point underdog. The Razorbacks running back Rawleigh Williams III leads the SEC in rushing while quarterback Austin Allen leads the conference in passing yards and scoring passes. Yet, they are a HUGE underdog. Off a bye week Auburn has won three straight while not allowing a rushing touchdown. The Tigers are laying in-wait and will claw the pigs. Take AUBURN! |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Utah v. UCLA -7 | Top | 52-45 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 59 m | Show |
Utah at U.C.L.A. 4:00 ET Bruins (+) over Utes- Wow, has the odds-makers opinion dropped that much on UCLA or is the 'public' that is driving this number. Well, I guess a 3-4 record will do that! Utah has had some internal difficulties as senior running back Joe Williams quit two games into the season but has returned and is running better then ever. The Bruins will have the services of quarterback Josh Rosen who missed last week's 27-21 loss at 400 yards. Take the BRUINS! |

10-22-16 | Wisconsin v. Iowa +4 | Top | 17-9 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 31 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Iowa 12:00 Noon ET Hawkeyes (+) over Badgers- The Badgers sure are getting a lot of respect from the pollsters as they remain at No. 10 despite having lost twice in six tries. The losses of course were to Michigan and Ohio State. With undefeated Nebraska up next at home this is a tough spot for Wisconsin as Iowa has won their last two after getting upset as an 11-point favorite to Northwestern. Bad trends here if you are an Iowa backer as they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight at home and the visitor is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Sorry, all that ends here. Take HAWKEYES! |

10-21-16 | Oregon +3 v. California | Top | 49-52 | Push | 0 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
Oregon at California 10:30 ET Ducks (+) over Golden Bears- OMG! How the mighty have fallen as the Oregon Ducks enter this contest on a four-game losing streak into this contest and are off to their worst start in 30 years. Defense has as always with the Ducks is an issue that they have to address and quickly while California isn't that much better as they allow 40 points per game and Oregon 41.8 per. Both clubs had last week off and that helps both of them as Cal's QB Davis Webb has had time to heal and the Ducks to regroup. The line is way to inviting until we noticed Oregon has won the last seven meetings. Take OREGON! |

10-20-16 | Bears +7.5 v. Packers | 10-26 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Chicago at Green Bay 8:25 ET Bears (+) over Packers- The Bears are still the Bears while the Packers have been under the radar with their unimpressive play that has them 2-3. Aaron Rogers has struggled so far in 2016 but has had great success against Chicago winning 10 of his last 12 starts against them. Green Bay has a slue of injuries and will be without six starters this week. Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer has had four straight 300-yards games passing and with three of Green Bay's cornerback hurt should take advantage. Take CHICAGO! |

10-20-16 | Miami (Fla) v. Virginia Tech -6 | 16-37 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Miami at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET Hokies (-) over Hurricanes- With both these clubs coming off bad losses as they both enter with identical 4-2, 2-1 records. Miami had the luxury of opening against some very weak competition and built a level of false stats made them look better then they really are. Virginia Tech is off a 31-17 loss to lowly Syracuse while Miami has dropped their last two to Florida State and North Carolina. Virginia Tech is lead offensively by quarterback Jerod Evans who ranks No. 1 in the ACC with a 170.0 QB rating with 17 touchdown passes. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

10-17-16 | Jets +7 v. Cardinals | 3-28 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
New York Jets at Arizona 8:33 ET Cardinals (-) over Jets- What does the return of Carson Palmer really mean? Is it like the return of Tom Brady or Jay Cutler. What can you do and where can we go with the Cardinals or Jets? It's not just that New York is 1-4 as they play decent run defense for the most part as they are No. 2 against the rush (68.4 ypg) but their pass defense is a sieve allowing 303 yards passing per game. Arizona as many are beginning to realize is a hoax and Palmer just doesn't have 'it' any more. New York's run game has been no help but I expect Arizona to play down. Take the JETS! |

Cleveland at Toronto 8:00 ET Blue Jays over Indians- This is virtually 'free' action for us as 'we' had Cleveland as Best Bet releases in Games 1 & 2 I sure hope you were there for them. I must have Toronto here with the whole Bauer cut finger thing he was already throwing to a 5.79 ERA in the playoffs. Marcus Stroman (0-0, 3.00) has shown thrown well allowing three or fewer runs in seven of his last nine starts will little support. It's now or never for the Jays and returning home helps big time! Take TORONTO! |

Indianapolis at Houston 8:30 ET Colts (+) over Texans- The Texans have played two of the NFL better teams on the road and were annihilated by both New England and Minnesota while posting three wins at home covering all three. Indianapolis enter Houston with two wins over San Diego and Chicago who are not two of the league's strongest opposition. But, the Colts have the Texans number winning six of the last seven meetings with Andrew Luck a perfect 5-0. People in Houston are beginning to wonder if Brock Osweiler is really worth it all...NOT! Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

10-16-16 | Falcons v. Seahawks -6 | 24-26 | Loss | -111 | 24 h 45 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Seattle 4:25 ET Seahawks (-) over Falcons- the 'Dirty-Birds' come to Seattle flying high and with the fact that there is no such thing as a 'Seahawk' they get plucked in the great Northwest. After a slow start Seattle has poured it on defeating a pair of weakling with the Jets in New York and the Niners two weeks ago and there is the key. The Seahawks have had two week to rest and probably all watched the Falcons last week. This is their third trip out west beating both AFC opponents the Raiders and Denver last week. Now, the are back west even further from home and most likely ready to take a hard fall. Take SEATTLE! |

10-16-16 | Chiefs v. Raiders +2 | 26-10 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 8 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Oakland 4:05 ET Raiders (+) over Chiefs- The trend that has been dominating handicapping circle for this game is formidable. The fact is Andy Reid is 15-2 after a bye week in his NFL career and the professionals have all jumped on wagon with the Chiefs. Add that Kansas City is 10-3 ATS their last 13 in Oakland can only encourage these 'wrong' siders. Sometime late Sunday when it will be too late they realize they are riding over a cliff. Granted the Raiders are only 2-8 ATS at home under Del Rio but this is a better team. Take OAKLAND! |

10-16-16 | Bengals +8 v. Patriots | Top | 17-35 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 34 m | Show |
Cincinnati at New England 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Patriots- A couple of years back Bill Belichick stated 'It's on to Cincinnati' after a crushing 41-14 loss at Kansas City on a Monday night the final week of September. The next week New England went on to smash the Bengals 43-17 who came into Foxboro as a 2.5 point favorite. This time the rolls are reversed as the Patriots are steamrolling opponents and Tom Brady is back as sharp as ever, it is the Bengals that are struggling have supporters now have doubts. I expect an extraordinary effort out of the Cats. Take CINCINNATI! |

10-16-16 | Steelers v. Dolphins +7.5 | Top | 15-30 | Win | 100 | 21 h 31 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Miami 1:00 ET Dolphins (+) over Steelers- Funny how entering the third week of the season I was still hearing acclaims about Miami having played so well, taking Seattle to the final minute before falling 12-10 and almost catching the Patriots losing 31-24. Well, since then they barely defeated Cleveland in overtime before taking consecutive beatings from Cincinnati and Tennessee. Pittsburgh (4-1) looks like the only challenge in the AFC to the Pats after getting ambushed in Philadelphia they went home to destroy Kansas City and the Jets. With New England on deck at home it should be surprising when their mind starts to think ahead. 'Danger Will Robinson danger!' A perfect spot...take MIAMI! |

U.C.L.A. At Washington State 10:30 ET Bruins (+) over Cougars- After losing their first two games to Eastern Washington and Boise State, Washington State has won three straight including a win over Stanford 42-16 last week and have outscored their last three opponents 149-55. UCLA is off a loss to Arizona State as their weak running game couldn't get anything going and quarterback Josh Rosen left the game late with shoulder and leg injuries. Rosen will return here an seeks revenge as the Cougars won last season in Los Angeles 31-27. The points are worth taking. It's UCLA! |

Mississippi at Arkansas 7:00 ET Rebels (-) over Razorbacks- Mississippi has had a disappointing start losing two of their first three be it against Florida State (blew a 24-3 lead) and Alabama in a 48-43 loss but cover. This line seems a bit high to me as the Razorbacks quarterback Austin Allen has passed for 1,632 yards and an SEC leading 15 touchdowns. Mississippi who has scored 30 or more points in nine consecutive games and have had two weeks to prepare. Lay-it! Take MISSISSIPPI! |

10-15-16 | Nebraska v. Indiana +3 | Top | 27-22 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 22 m | Show |
Nebraska at Indiana 3:30 ET Hoosiers (+) over Cornhuskers- Nebraska enters this contest 5-0 and is in the Top-10 for the first time in six years. But, they have had an easy road playing four games at home and against opponents that are a combined 10-18. Indiana has had tougher competition and is playing their third straight ranked Big Ten schools including an overtime win over Michigan State and a loss to (ATS cover) against Ohio State. The problem for the Huskers is that they are pretty banged-up. Injuries are effecting their starting Tight end, wide receiver, running back and even quarterback Tommy Armstrong who will play. Indiana can move the ball behind Richard Lagow who leads the Big Ten in yards per completion at 15.7 per. In a wild one take the HOOSIERS! |

10-15-16 | Alabama v. Tennessee +14 | 49-10 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
Alabama at Tennessee 3:30 ET Volunteers (+) over Crimson Tide- No. 1 ranked Alabama has used it's defense to score nine touchdowns if you count two punt returns and that is an average of 1.5 per game and outrageous stat. The Tide roll with a freshman quarterback where as the Volunteers have senior Joshua Dobbs who seems to do his best work in the second half of games leading the way. He has accounted for 19 touchdowns including five rushing. Dobbs has thrown eight interceptions and need to be more prudent with the ball to win here. Alabama has won the last nine meetings but like Florida who had defeated Tennessee 11 straight before their last meeting the Tide might have trouble here. Take the VOLUNTEERS! |

USC at Arizona 3:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Trojans- This is the 100th anniversary of the first meeting between these two and USC holds a 31-8 lifetime advantage. One thing that has happened consistently the past decade between these two clubs is that they have played a lot of close football games, an average of 6.5 points separates these two over the past 10 years. Both clubs have moved on from their starting quarterback since their openers but the Trojans are just 2-7 straight-up and 1-8 ATS in their last nine as road favorites! Take ARIZONA! |

Pittsburgh at Virginia 12:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Panthers- Virginia opened the season with three straight losses before putting two wins together over Central Michigan and their first road win after 17 failures over Duke. It was the Cavaliers defense that turned the tide last week against Duke getting five interceptions and the emergence of quarterback Kurt Benkert who holds the school record of 1,455 yards passing in a the first five games. The Panthers defense is without four starters due to injury and will struggle once again. Take VIRGINIA! |

N.C. State at Clemson 12:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Tigers- No. 3 Clemson has certainly pick-up the pace after a sluggish start to the season defeating Louisville and Boston College gaining over 500 yards in both contests and covering their last four. They have won 42 consecutive games agains unranked opponents last losing to N.C State in 2011. The Wolfpack coming off their win over Notre Dame in the rain and mud has totaled 500 yards or more of offense in three of their five games. N.C. State has the best ACC defense allowing just 91 yards per game rushing. Take N.C. STATE! |

West Virginia at Texas Tech 12:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Mountaineers- Undefeated and No. 18 ranked West Virginia comes into Lubbock fearing a Texas Tech offense that has scored over 55 points per contest (2nd nationally). Quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads an offense that scores 60.1 points at home and averages 650 yards on total offense. They rank 1st nationally in first downs and is 2nd in third down conversions.

Memphis at Tulane 8:00 ET Green Wave (+) over Tigers- I don't know if most people understand the depth and strength of this rivalry even though Memphis has won the last nine in the series. The Tigers potent offense is averaging 43.4 points and are coming off a come-from-behind 34-27 win over Temple last week despite allowing 531 yards of offense. Tulane's improved defense allows just 309 yards per contest and have forced 12 turnovers this season. The Green Wave uses an option offense and have had two weeks to get ready after Hurricane Matthew cancelled last week's game against Central Florida. With an improved offense and a home field advantage the Wave rise. Take TULANE! |

Denver at San Diego 8:25 ET Chargers (+) over Broncos- The 1-4 Chargers can easily be 4-1 if they could hold on to leads after the two-minute warning as they have blown three games in the final minutes. Denver who has won nine of the last 10 meetings are off their first loss of the season last week at home to Atlanta 23-16. The Broncos were without starting quarterback Trevor Siemian whose shoulder injury is expected to be better for this encounter is start starting in just his fourth game while head coach Gary Kubiak will be missing due to migraine headaches. Phillip Rivers has been his usual self throwing for 1,469 yards but the Chargers have turned the ball over 11 times third in the NFL. Although Denver has won 10 straight division games on the road the play here is the Chargers. Take SAN DIEGO! |

10-10-16 | Bucs v. Panthers -5.5 | 17-14 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Carolina 8:30 ET Panthers (-) over Buccaneers- It appears that the leagues MVP Cam Newton will be sidelined because of the NFL concussion protocol and Derek Anderson will get the start for Carolina. Tampa Bay of course will have Jameis Winston leading the way for the Buccaneers and the second year quarterback has struggled throwing eight interceptions in four games winning just once on opening day against Atlanta. The Panthers don't have the same 'mojo' as last season when the lost only one time and they have had problems on both sides of the ball. Coming off last weeks poor defensive performance allowing the Flacons 48 points and 503 yards passing I expect a huge effort here. Take CAROLINA! |

Cincinnati at Dallas 4:25 ET Cowboys (+) over Bengals- Once again we will be talking about a rookie quarterback that has taken the NFL by surprise where-as the Cowboys rookie running back and No. 1 draft pick Ezekiel Elliott is getting it done. Cincinnati (always a bridesmaid) has Andy Dalton leading the way first in the AFC in passing yards (1,234) but with Marvin Lewis' approach to offense the Bengals have just four touchdowns. There will be a clash between the Bengals rushing defense which has not allow a touchdown on the ground and the Dallas running game which leads the NFL with eight rushing scores. Power wins and so will DALLAS! |

Detroit returns home after getting beat by the previous winless Bears 17-14 and then return home to play an undefeated Eagles squad that has had two weeks to savior their 34-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The storyline here surrounds Philadelphia's rookie quarterback Carson Wentz who is off his best games yet throwing for over 300 yards against the Steelers. But, the quarterback they will be speaking about after this one will be Matthew Stafford who lead the Lions to a 45-14 Thanksgiving Day win over these Eagles last year. It happens again. Take DETROIT! |

New York Jets at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Steelers- Oh my! Can football look any worse in New York between the Giants and the Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick held-out after his career year in 2015 and has hit the skids this year ranking 25th in the NFL with a 51.8 quarterback rating. Pittsburgh QB on the other hand has thrown 11 touchdown passes including five last week against the Chiefs. The Jets turnover rate is -10 and they will need their third ranked rushing defense to keep this one close. Take the JETS! |

Houston at Minnesota 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Vikings- The Vikings must feel like they had a week off after getting to play the New York Jints last Monday as they weren't tested at all. Minnesota remains undefeated (4-0) and is a NFL best +10 in turnover margin and ranks second in scoring defense. Houston like Minnesota is dealing with injuries with J.J. Watt out for the season but they maintain the NFL's top ranked pass defense and fifth ranked overall defense. Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler is still growing with his receivers and is looking for his first points on the road. (lost 27-0 to Pats). Houston plays close to the vest and keeps this one tight. Take the points and the TEXANS! |

Washington State at Stanford 10:30 ET Cougars (+) over Cardinal- I've had so much success both on and against both these squads and this one doesn't alien all important factors but enough to warrant a play. Washington State was one of 'our' huge winners last Saturday a 51-33 win over Oregon while Stanford was pounded 44-6 by Washington last Friday. I should expect a Cougar let-down and a Cardinal bounce-back but it doesn't look that way to me. Washington State doesn't play much defense but are averaging 44 points per game. Stanford has not been a team that recovers well after a beating going 0-5 ATS after losing by 21 or more. Take the points...WASHINGTON STATE! |

10-08-16 | California v. Oregon State +14 | 44-47 | Win | 100 | 20 h 40 m | Show | |
California at Oregon State 9:00 ET Beavers (+) over Golden Bears- Talking about teams moving in opposite directions California is off a beat-down of ranked Utah 28-23 while Oregon State has lost 12 straight games in conference play. Cal quarterback Davis Webb was named Pac-12 offensive player of the week for his performance against the Utes but this is prefect letdown and look ahead spot as the Golden Bears return home to host Oregon next. State has had the best of this series going 18-9-1 ATS while the Bears are 3-16-1 ATS as road favorites. Take the BEAVERS! |

Florida State at Miami-FL 8:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Hurricanes- This match-up will be the litmus test for Mark Rich and the No.10 Miami Hurricanes as they enter this contest undefeated (4-0) against a foe that has beaten them six straight times. Florida State should be on the warpath as they were defeated at home ending a 12-game win streak as hosts and have two losses dropping them to No. 25 in the polls. Miami's schedule has been weak with a win against a Top-10 foe and ranking 112. Seminoles scalp the Hurricanes dream! Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Washington at Oregon 7:30 ET Ducks (+) over Huskies- Washington (5-0) has returned to the ranked at #6 and invades Eugene having lost their last 12 to Oregon both straight-up and against the points. The Huskies are part of the Top-10 for the first time since 1992 and have an infusion of enthusiasm under head coach Chris Peterson. Oregon who is 0-2 in Pac-12 play is allowing 36.2 points per game and 490 yards and are looking to make their own change at quarterback going with true freshman Justin Herbert. With the Huskies coming off their huge win over Stanford I see a let-down here. Take OREGON! |

They upset 37-35 Florida State on the road, on the games' final play as quarterback Mitch Trubisky had his third straight 400-yard passing game. Virginia Tech on the other hand has won 16 of their last 16 regular season games losing to Tennessee three weeks ago. Tech owns the series 20-11 and teams after defeating Florida State after returning home as favorites are 1-9 ATS. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Houston at Navy 3:00 ET Midshipmen (+) over Cougars- The will be a clash of wills here as Navy which is averaging 251.5 yards per game on the ground will be up against the nation's No.1 rushing defense. Houston has an eight game winning streak and the Middies of won 12 straight at home. Problems for Navy might be here as the Air Force stop Navy's running game allowing just 57 yards on 38 carries what can we expect the Cougars defense to do? One thing about the service academies is that they play with pride and determination until the final gun. I expect a giant effort for the Midshipmen. Take NAVY! |

Notre Dame at N.C State 12:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Fighting Irish- Once might Notre Dame brings a 2-3 record into Raleigh after posting a much needed win over undermanned Syracuse 50-33 and seek two straight for the first time this season. North Carolina State is playing their third straight home game and if the weather is an issue their 500-yard per game offense might slow down. But with the Irish defense allowing 461 yards per contest as even Syracuse put up 33 points and had 489 yards last week. Take the WOLFPACK! |

Texas is 2-1 straight-up and 3-0 ATS in the last three meetings all as double-digit underdogs. The Longhorns have gained 568 yards in both of their last two games against California and Oklahoma State both losses. For those that are seeking the revenge angle just thought I'd throw a wet towel at you with this but Oklahoma is 3-11-1 straight-up and 2-12-1 ATS seeking revenge. Texas coach Charlie Strong saved his job last season with a win here and needs to do it again but it's not going to happen. Take OKLAHOMA! |

10-08-16 | Cincinnati v. Connecticut +3 | 9-20 | Win | 100 | 18 h 33 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Connecticut 11:30 AM ET Huskies (+) over Bearcats- I'm really beginning to wonder how bad this Bearcat team truly is? Tommy Tuberville is now leading Cincinnati and they were embarrassed at home by South Florida 45-20 even using fifth-year quarterback Gunner Kiel who has lost the job three times. Connecticut who has allowed 73 points in their last two games and have been out-scored by the Bearcats 119-29 the last three meetings. So, why only a 3-point favorite? Look for the Huskies to bounce back after two losses and the Cats mauled by the Huskies. Take CONNECTICUT! |

Arizona at San Francisco 8:25 ET 49ers (+) over Cardinals- I'm in a tough spot here because I'm the guy that has said all along the 'Arizona can't win with Carson Palmer.' So what happens here? Palmer is out, does that hurt or help the Cardinals? Drew Stanton will be the replacement at quarterback and as a starter he lead the Arizona to a 5-3 record in 2014. The next question to address is how do I recover from the Niners last week blowing a 14-0 lead to Dallas and looking pitiful in the process. San Francisco force eight turnovers in their first three games but fail to garner any against the Cowboys last week. With The Niners pounding the Rams opening week and the Cards losing to them last week I expect a reverse. Take ARIZONA! |

10-06-16 | Temple +10 v. Memphis | 27-34 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
Temple at Memphis 8:00 ET Owls (+) over Tigers- The Tigers may not be as arrogant facing Temple after getting waxed by Mississippi last week where the surrendered 624 yards committed four turnover and seven penalties dropping them from unbeaten status. The Owls have won two of the last three meetings so they are not intimidated at all. Memphis owns the sixth-best scoring offense with 45.8 points per contest. First year coach Mike Norvell's squad may not respond well after their first loss of the season while Temple head coach Matt Rhule is 12-2 ATS as a dog of seven or more points. Take the TEMPLE OWLS! |

New York Giants at Minnesota 8:35 ET Giants (+) over Vikings- The undefeated (3-0) Vikings return home off their dominating performance at Carolina following a huge win over Green Bay. New York has had nothing buy struggles defeating Dallas 20-19 and New Orleans 16-13 before blowing a 12-point lead against the Redskins last week. The Giants lost their composure last week as they incurred a number of 'personal foul' penalties that turned a win into a loss. The likes of Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz and Sterling Shepard make Eli Manning even more explosive their the air and with any kind of running game have a chance to win here. In a mild surprise it's...NEW YORK GIANTS! |

Kansas City at Pittsburgh 8:30 ET Steelers (-) over Chiefs- The Steelers are off their worst loss since 1989 as they looked completely helpless against upstart Philadelphia losing 34-3. Meanwhile, Kansas City was taking advantage of the New York Jets who turned the ball over eight times to the Chiefs defense. The KC offense could managed just 17 points until the fourth minutes but dominated play. Both clubs are 2-1 and with the return of LeVeon Bell the Steelers run game should help 'Big Ben' diminishing pressure but K.C. is 10-5 both straight-up and ATS in their last 15 Sunday Night games. Take the CHIEFS! |

Dallas at San Francisco 4:25 ET 49ers (+) over Cowboys- A pair of rookies are producing for Dallas who after an opening loss to the Giants have bounced back with two wins over Washington and Chicago where Ezekiel Elliott gained 140 yards on the ground and quarterback Dak Prescott played without any blemishes. After opening the season with a 28-0 whitewash of the L.A. Rams the 49ers have dropped two straight allowing 83 points losing to Carolina and Seattle the two toughest teams in the NFC. Dez Brant is out and the Cowboys are 0-6 with Dez and Romo. Both teams come back to the center Sunday with the Niners getting the money. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

Denver at Tampa Bay 4:05 ET Buccaneers (+) over Broncos- Denver has been good to 'us' and their backers going 3-0 both straight-up and ATS. Tampa Bay after an opening win over Atlanta has been awful in losses to Carolina and the L.A. Rams. Jameis Winston passed for a career high 405 yards last week and have Charles Sims who had 124 yards from scrimmage last week has filled-in for Doug Martin. The Buc's must take care of the ball better as they are at a minus-6 turnover ratio. A note from my friend tells me defending Super Bowl champs are 0-6 ATS as favorites of less then six points against non-division foes. Take TAMPA BAY! |

10-02-16 | Seahawks v. Jets +1.5 | 27-17 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 30 m | Show | |
Seattle at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Seahawks- When I first saw this match-up I immediately jumped on the Jets without seeing an opening line. Russell Wilson is banged-up once again but will be playing through his problems as Seattle brings the No. 1 total defense into New York and 2nd ranked scoring defense against a team that committed eight turnovers (six ints) against the Chiefs last week. When a team gives the ball up as many time as the 'Jersey' Jets did last week they usually regroup with a less embarrassing performance. Seattle is 1-8 ATS against AFC after division games and Jets coach Todd Bowles is 6-1 ATS as an underdog. Take the J-E-T-S! |

Detroit at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Lions- Boy, are these the 'Bad News Bears' or what. I do think that Jay Cutler's injury can actually add spark to a team that is still winless and among the worst rushing the ball ranked 30th in the league. Trends here do not favor the Bears who have lost seven of their last eight straight-up and 11 of their last 12 at home. When we see that Detroit has defeated Chicago six straight in this series which is tied at 49-49-1. Matt Stafford threw for 703 yards and seven touchdowns against for Detroit last season against but Bears who are now ready to roar and claw the Lions here. Take CHICAGO! |

10-01-16 | Oregon v. Washington State +2.5 | Top | 33-51 | Win | 100 | 21 h 11 m | Show |
Oregon at Washington State 9:30 ET Cougars (+) over Ducks- Washington State opened their season with a loss to FCS Eastern Washington 45-42 and ay Boise State 31-28 before pounding Idaho 56-6. The Cougars have had two weeks to prepare for this Oregon squad that has two straight for the first time since 2007 and have their top running back Royce Freeman off an injury. Oregon leads the Pac-12 in rushing for the 11th straight season while the Cougars look to put the ball in the air. State defeated the Ducks in Oregon last season 45-38 in double-overtime as a 17-point underdog as quarterback Luke Falk (74.1%) threw for 505 of the Cougars 641 total offensive yards in the win. I don't think that the Ducks are as good as past clubs and that is probably why this 'price' is suspiciously low. Take WASHINGTON STATE! |

10-01-16 | Arizona State v. USC -10 | 20-41 | Win | 100 | 20 h 6 m | Show | |
Arizona State at Southern California 8:30 ET Trojans (-) over Sun Devils- I really had no interest in this contest and it sort of came to me the way people have gravitated to the Sun Devils. And as I realize that the line goes 'up' it gets higher and most of my counterparts (newsletters) are siding with the dog with an opening line of +7 so what do you think they will do at +10. Arizona State is 4-0, 1-0 Pac-10 while USC is 1-3, 0-2 and yet a heavy favorite. The Sun Devils lead the conference in scoring (48.8 pts) while the Trojans are last (22) and once again I must point out the 'Don't make sense' line on this one. Take USC! |
|||||||
10-01-16 | Louisville v. Clemson +1.5 | 36-42 | Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show | |
Louisville at Clemson 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Cardinals- I sure hope that I haven't read this wrong but I don't believe so. Meaning...I like Clemson. Granted Louisville comes in leading the nation in scoring and total offense and is averaging 63.5 points per contest. So popular is Louisville here that they have become the favorite and even the 'sharps' want a piece of the Cardinals. Lamar Jackson the Louisville quarterback has accounted for 25 touchdown is four games but will be facing the nation's No. 3 defense allowing just 125.8 yards passing per game. Clemson also has a quality quarterback of their own with Deshaun Watson who is 22-2 as a starter. Take CLEMSON! |

10-01-16 | Michigan State v. Indiana +7 | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 19 h 26 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Indiana 8:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- We had the pleasure of knocking off Michigan State (Early-Bird winner Wisconsin) last week after the ND fiasco and now most will think that the Spartans will bounce back. As the wonderful Lee Corso would say 'no so fast my friend.' Indiana has should that they can move the ball especially threw the air where Richard Legow has thrown for 1,002 yards and seven touchdowns in three games ranking No. 1 in the Big Ten and 13th nationally in passing offense and second in the conference in total offense (516.7). Take the points and don't be surprised if you don't need them. Take INDIANA! |

10-01-16 | Tennessee v. Georgia +4 | Top | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 15 h 22 m | Show |
Tennessee at Georgia 3:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Volunteers- Last week 'our' Megabucks winner Tennessee (-7.5) 38-28 over Florida got the job done while Georgia lost to Mississippi 45-14 and failed to 'cover' for the third straight week. For the Volunteers it was an emotional win as they ended an 11 games losing streak to the Gators. Georgia runs its offense through Nick Chubb who was hurt last week. The Bulldogs have played without him before an have capable replacements in Brian Herrien and Sony Michel. After such a humiliating loss last week Georgia will respond...Take the BULLDOGS! |

10-01-16 | Wisconsin v. Michigan -11 | 7-14 | Loss | -104 | 15 h 52 m | Show | |
Wisconsin at Michigan 3:30 ET Wolverines (-) over Badgers- Wisconsin was 'our' Early-Bird OUTRIGHT winner over Michigan State 30-6 and now have defeated two Top-10 clubs with a win over LSU. Michigan ranked No. 5 is also 4-0 and are off a 49-10 crushing of Penn State and are looking for their first win over a Top-10 club since their win over Wisconsin in September of 2008 losing their last 11 meetings. After such a dominating performance last week and with Michigan playing their fifth straight home game it looks like the home team again. Take the WOLVERINES! |
|||||||
09-30-16 | Stanford v. Washington -3 | 6-44 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Stanford at Washington 9:00 ET Huskies (-) over Cardinal- The surprising Washington Huskies (4-0, 1-0) have won their last seven dating back to last season and have done it on both sides of the ball. The Huskies are 10th nationally in scoring offense at 45.8 points per game dominating against weak opponents as they have been favored by a combined 122 points against the likes of Idaho, Portland State, Rutgers and Arizona. Stanford is off a pair of wins against USC and UCLA and will be playing their second straight Pac-12 road game. The Huskies are tied for the national lead in takeaways (13) and have committed only four turnovers. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
09-29-16 | Dolphins v. Bengals -7.5 | 7-22 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Miami at Cincinnati 8:25 ET Bengals (-) over Dolphins- This is a very tough point spread call as there are more negatives for each side than positives as the Bengals are off a home loss to Denver while Miami barely defeated Cleveland for their first win. The Dolphins played tough their first two contests losing to the Seattle 12-10 on the games' final drive and were beaten by the Patriots before 31-24 before their overtime win against the Browns. Cincinnati is 0-3 ATS defeating the Jets 23-22 in their opener as a beaten favorite and then getting pounded by Pittsburgh and Denver. After facing those two playoff contenders the Bengals will have their way with the ground challenged Dolphins. Take CINCINNATI! |

09-26-16 | Falcons +2.5 v. Saints | 45-32 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Atlanta at New Orleans 8:30 ET Falcons (+) over Saints- A clash between two of the NFL's premier quarterbacks with Atlanta's Matt Ryan and future Hall of Famer Drew Brees of the Saints should provide plenty of points. New Orleans was ranked 31st in total defense last season and they haven't improved much as they are allowing 336 yards per game through the air. To compound their problems on defense the Saints have not run the ball at all with Mark Ingram gaining only 88 yards this season. This series has had a shocking record for the Falcons as a visitor in New Orleans going 27-10 ATS since 1978. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
09-25-16 | Bears +6.5 v. Cowboys | 17-31 | Loss | -102 | 25 h 19 m | Show | |
Chicago at Dallas 8:30 ET Bears (+) over Cowboys- I just can't believe that in today's age of football that their can be so many bad teams and I mean bad as in terrible, dysfunctional weak pitiful and along with Cleveland, Buffalo Los Angeles. Hey, why is this line this low anyway? Granted the Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer has more experience then Dallas quarterback Dax Prescott the fourth round pick in last years NFL draft from Mississippi State. Granted Dax is 2-0 as a starter but realize that Hoyer is 15-11 as a started and played for some pretty bad teams. Dallas just 8-27 ATS as home favorite last 35. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
09-25-16 | Jets v. Chiefs -2.5 | Top | 3-24 | Win | 100 | 21 h 11 m | Show |
New York Jets at Cincinnati 4:25 ET Chiefs (-) over Jets- Boy, I have some strange betting patterns on this game from the moment the line hit. Early is the week the newsletter people where on the Jets with a large number of best bets on New York. New York of course is off their 37-31 thrashing of Buffalo (it wasn't that close) and the Chiefs were getting man-handled 19-12 failing to score a touchdown in Houston. I see Kansas City returning home as Andy Reid goes 5-0 against the Jets. Take KANSAS CITY! |
|||||||
09-25-16 | Steelers v. Eagles +4 | Top | 3-34 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia 4:25 ET Eagles (+) over Steelers- Battle of the Keystone State as Philadelphia hosts Pittsburgh in an AFC/NFC matchup. Huge contrast between the quarterbacks with lumbering Steelers veteran Ben Roethlisberger and Eagles rookie Carson Wentz looking to start the career with three straight wins. Philadelphia opened with two wins against mostly like the two worst team in the NFL and now have to deal with a Super Bowl contender. Pittsburgh is off a huge win over division rival Cincinnati and are 1-6 ATS in games following the Bengals. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
09-25-16 | Rams +5 v. Bucs | 37-32 | Win | 100 | 21 h 47 m | Show | |
Los Angeles at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Rams (+) over Buccaneers- It will difficult for me to make a case for Los Angeles as we enter the third week of action and they still haven't scored a touchdown. Jared Goff has yet to take a snap at quarterback while Case Keenum ranks last in the NFL among qualifying with a 57.8 rating and Todd Gurley averages 2.7 yards per rush. As far as this series goes the Rams are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the dog is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11. Somehow, if they are professional at all Los Angeles with take this down to the final gun. Take the RAMS! |
|||||||
09-25-16 | Raiders v. Titans +1.5 | 17-10 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 39 m | Show | |
Oakland at Tennessee 1:00 ET Titans over Raiders- There seems to be 'a lot' of interest in the Oakland Raiders each week while Tennessee has been the 'go against' team to date. For the Raiders the attraction is there offense with the likes of quarterback Derek Carr and receiver Amari Cooper are matched with the Titans 'Thunder & Thunder' of DeMarco Murray and Derek Henry. Oakland surrendered 70 points to the Saints and Falcons and with a maturing Marcus Mariota emerging. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
09-25-16 | Cardinals v. Bills +4 | Top | 18-33 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show |
Arizona at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (+) over Cardinals- A funny thing happened after the Bills 37-31 loss to the Jets had dropped them to 0-2, they fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman. (guess he's supposed to score at least 38 to give them a chance to win). No problems on defense where Rex Ryan hangs his hat (ranks 22nd) allowing New York 493 yards in last weeks defeat. What going to happen here as the Cardinals come off a 40-7 routing of Tampa Bay creating five turnovers. This is 'Ryan's Last Stand' and the Bills are in a must win situation at home. Arizona is playing their first on the road but are 9-0 ATS in past nine seasons in this spot. So still, it's BUFFALO! |
|||||||
09-24-16 | Air Force v. Utah State +5 | Top | 27-20 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
Air Force at Utah State 10:15 ET Aggies (+) over Falcons- Yes the Falcons are 2-0 and have scored 85 Points in two games but lets look at who they have played. Powers like Ablilene Christian and Georgia State. Utah State has a bit of revenge on their minds to right their upset loss in Colorado Springs last season. State is 24-3 straight-up at home in their last 27 as hosts and are 4-0 in conference openers when the underdog. Take UTAH STATE! |
|||||||
09-24-16 | Louisville v. Marshall +28.5 | 59-28 | Loss | -106 | 23 h 36 m | Show | |
Louisville at Marshall 8:00 ET Thundering Herd (+) over Louisville- I know! I saw it, as a matter of fact 'we' had the Cardinals against Florida State last week an easy 63-20 crushing that wasn't that close and now they travel to West Virginia in a sandwich game as they have Clemson up next. Marshall had 560 yards on offense and a 13½ minute time of possession advantage and yet still lost to Akron 65-38 as they allowed three return touchdowns on a fumble, interception and blocked punt. The Herd have won 21 of their last 23 home games and will put up enough points to get the money. Take MARSHALL! |
|||||||
09-24-16 | Stanford v. UCLA +3 | Top | 22-13 | Loss | -100 | 23 h 43 m | Show |
Stanford at UCLA 8:00 ET Bruins (+) over Cardinal- Jim Mora's teams like all great coaches get better as the season moves on and the Bruins their defense who held BYU to 23 yards rushing will have to rise to the occasion to stop Stanford's Christian McCaffrey. The Heisman candidate accounted for 368 all-purpose yards including 243 yards rushing in last seasons' 56-35 win over the Bruins. UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen has settled into his position after a shaky start to the season threw for 300-yards for the eighth time in his career and will come up big here. Take UCLA! |
|||||||
09-24-16 | Nebraska v. Northwestern +8 | 24-13 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 20 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Northwestern 7:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Cornhuskers- This is the Big-10 opener for both clubs with the Cornhuskers 3-0 against non-conference competition including their win over Oregon last Saturday. Northwestern busted into the win column with a victory against Duke 24-13 covering the 6-points. The Wildcats have a measure of revenge as they were defeated by Nebraska on a last second Hail-Mary 27-24 the last time they met. The Huskers are flying high but will be grounded by the Wildcats here. Take NORTHWESTERN! |
|||||||
09-24-16 | LSU v. Auburn +3.5 | 13-18 | Win | 100 | 21 h 31 m | Show | |
LSU at Auburn 6:00 ET Tigers (+) over Tigers- The Auburn Tigers have yet to should an offense that can compete in the SEC which puts added pressure on their defense. LSU is coming into Jordan Hare Stadium with Leonard Fournette leading the way after running for 228 yards and three touchdowns in their 45-21 win last season. Auburn's lone win came against Arkansas State while losing to a pair of ranked teams Clemson and Texas A&M. LSU have a glaring weakness at quarterback and the War Eagle defense will take advantage and jam up Foutnette. Take AUBURN! |

09-24-16 | Florida v. Tennessee -4.5 | Top | 28-38 | Win | 100 | 18 h 10 m | Show |
Florida at Tennessee 3:30 ET Volunteers (-) over Gators- This is a tricky one as the Volunteers haven't played up to expectations while Florida has exceeded theirs so far in 2016 leading the nation in fewest points (14 total), total defense (129.7) and are second in rushing defense (38.3 yards). After playing Massachusetts, Kentucky and North Texas the Gators who have defeated Tennessee 11 straight times but will find this encounter a but tougher. The Volunteers have won nine straight dating back to last season and will be ready here. Take TENNESSEE! |
