NFL 100 DIME INSIDE MOVE BILLS +3.5 I expect there to be an air of thankfulness in Cleveland as their Browns take the field after yet another disastrous year in which to, hopefully, provide them a reason for being optimistic in 2018. Much can be said for their play in week 1 against the Giants, however, teams must show progression from one week to the next. This, as we have seen, is not a strong point for a Browns team that has consistently lost in the past few years; Nonetheless, with a new year upon us and many positions to solidify, the Browns will trot out their best prospective talent in hopes that they will provide a spark to the team during their 2018 campaign. The Bills, on the other hand, looked very good against the Panthers, yet, would suffer the week 1 loss. In all, Buffalo will be more focused on shoring up present vulnerabilities on the d-line along with their secondary which caused them to relinquish a 17-7 lead against Carolina. |

NFLX MEGA MOVE 100 DIME GOY EAGLES +4 I’m predicting we’ll see a solid showing from the first team units. It won’t be hard for Nick Foles to have a better start than Nate Sudfeld did last week where he threw a pick. The defense looked dominant against Pittsburgh by forcing two three and outs. Will they be able to do that against some guy named Tom Brady who absolutely carved them up in February? Even though it’s just preseason it’d be nice to see some kind of improvement there. Once the starters are out, there will be a number of position battles worth watching. We should learn more about the roster outlook at weakside linebacker, fourth running back, sixth wide receiver, depth defensive tackle, and more. Eagles 35-28. |

Then, on the mound, they rank No. 7 overall in ERA. Mookie Betts is leading the way with a .360 average, 13 homers, and 27 runs batted in — all team-bests. On Wednesday, they’ll send Rick Porcello to the hill to try and get the second game. He has been awesome this year, leading the team in wins (5) while maintaining a 2.14 ERA.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME PURDUE -2 Texas Tech can make this game very interesting with its ability to lock down defensively and keep teams in check. The Red Raiders allowed the fewest points per game (64.6) in the Big 12 — which was 15th-best in the country — and are more than capable of bringing that defense to the regional semifinal. Though Haas missed the Butler game after fracturing his elbow late against Cal State Fullerton and his return timetable is still in question, Haarms is more than capable of manning the paint offensively and anchoring the defense. but against a very good Texas Tech team, both Carsen and Vincent Edwards (no relation) and Haarms will need to repeat their performance from Sunday to keep the Boilermakers dancing for another day. Purdue BY 6 POINTS. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 80 DIME GAME KANSAS -4.5 Clemson in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1997 makes for an exciting story. But with all happy endings, they usually come to an end. Kansas will be by far the most talented team Clemson has played in the NCAA Tournament. Arguably, the Jayhawks might be the best team the Tigers have faced all season long. And don’t forget the ACC sent nine times to this year’s Big Dance The difference in this game will likely be Devonte’ Graham, Kansas’ star player. Graham is far from a one-man show, however, as the Jayhawks have four others averaging double figures in scoring. But expect Graham to be at the forefront of Kansas’ game plan, whether it’s scoring or getting his teammates involved. Although this year’s tournament has been crazy to predict, Kansas is the better team on paper and should get past Clemson and move on. Kansas by 8 points. |

NFL 150 DIME GOY EAGLES +3.5 I am taking the points with the Eagles in this contest. The Eagles defense was tremendous against the Falcons last week and they should be able to neutralize the Vikings offense as well. They feature the best rush defense in the NFL as they allowed an average of only 79 rushing yards per game in the regular season, and they were able to hold the Falcons strong running game to only 86 rushing yards last week. In addition, the Eagles were able to contain Matt Ryan last week by holding him to 210 passing yards, and they should able to do the same against Case Keenum. Furthermore, Nick Foles showed great poise in the second half last week, and the Eagles potent running game is strong enough to do damage. The Vikings did allow the Saints to go 3 for 4 in the red zone, and the Eagles defense had the better performance of these two teams last week. The Eagles are on their home field, and their defense will be the deciding factor in this one. The Eagles are very tough to beat at home, and the last eight NFC and AFC Championship games have all been won by the home team. Eagles 11-3 ATS vs Vikings Vikings 1-7 on the road SU against the Eagles. Eagles 23, Vikings 13 |

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME OHIO ST -3 The Ohio State Buckeyes improved their conference record to 6-0 after drubbing the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 68-46 for their 15th win of the season. It has been a thoroughly dominant stretch from Ohio State, who have also topped No. 1 Michigan State in this run. “I keep coming back to the fact that we’ve only played one-third of the Big Ten right now, so there’s a lot left to be played,” coach Chris Holtmann said. “But we will talk about the fact that hey, we’re going to have some people, we’re going to have to play with a different edge. Home, road, doesn’t matter. We’ll see if we’re good enough to manage that.” Keita Bates-Diop scored 20 points and added nine rebounds. Kam Williams put up 11 points and Kaleb Wesson pitched in with 10 points. Ohio St by 12 points or more |

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME ALABAMA +2 Freshman Collin Sexton might be the best player on the court, but he’s been a little shaky lately. Sexton shot 4-of-16 in Alabama’s win over LSU following a five-point performance against South Carolina. Sexton has been really solid this year, averaging just under 20 points per game. Sexton’s ability to impact the game’s evident, especially with his 1.3 steals per game. The Crimson Tide are very inconsistent from three as the team’s connected on slightly less than 33 percent of their attempts on the season. Sophomore Dazon Ingram is coming off a solid game in the win over LSU as he finished 10-for-10 from the free throw line en route to 18 points. Alabama by 6 points or more |

COLLEGE HOOP 100 DIME GOY KANSAS +6 The West Virginia Mountaineers have had a very good season so far, but so have the Jayhawks. Kansas has been involved in three close games in a row and I expect this to be another tight game for them. The Jayhawks have a strong offense and teams do not shoot well against them, which is bad news for a West Virginia team that does not shoot the ball all that well. The Mountaineers have been good on defense, but I still see the Jayhawks putting up enough points to keep this one within the number or even win the game outright. Take the Jayhawks here. |

Bruce Brown and Ja’Quan Newton have struggled shooting the ball from beyond the arc, which could start to hold them back during conference play. Florida State also ranks as one of the best defenses in the country, but Leonard Hamilton’s squad has also been ultra-efficient on offense. They have enough talent and experience to get the job done on the road. Florida St by 3 points or more. |

12-28-17 | Virginia Tech v. Oklahoma State -4 | Top | 21-30 | Win | 100 | 66 h 42 m | Show |
COLLEGE BOOK BOOKIE KILLER GOY OKLAHOMA ST -4 This looks like it could be a very difficult game for Virginia Tech. Quarterback Josh Jackson did not have a great second half of the season throwing the ball and now his main target will be in street clothes. It would be nice to rely on the running game, but the Hokies have had an inconsistent ground attack this season and the strength of the Oklahoma State defense is stopping the run. The Cowboys are terrible at defending the pass, but Tech doesn’t have the weapons to effectively exploit this weakness. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State is going to score. Mason Rudolph, James Washington and Marcell Ateman are all playing their final collegiate game and will be motivated to go out in a big way. The Virginia Tech defense is very good, but has not faced a passing game as dynamic and explosive as Oklahoma State’s. The closest comparison would be West Virginia in the season opener when Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier threw for 371 yards in the 31-24 loss. The Cowboys won’t get to 40 points on the Hokies’ defense. But they will get a lot closer to that number than Virginia Tech will. OKLAHOMA ST 31-17 |

12-27-17 | Missouri -2.5 v. Texas | Top | 16-33 | Loss | -110 | 46 h 34 m | Show |
COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME MEGA MOVE MISSOURI -2.5 I don’t like Texas in this game for two reasons. One, the defense is facing an offense that loves to go vertical as much as, say, Oklahoma State. Not only has Texas had issues defending the deep ball late in the year, three key pieces from the defense that stymied the Cowboys won’t be on the field (DeShon Elliott, Holton Hill and Malik Jefferson). Two, the offense is going to have a tough time following the blueprint to win the game by running the ball consistently and controlling the clock to protect the defense and keep Drew Lock and Co. off the field. Missouri, statistically anyway, is a similar defense to Texas Tech in that you can run on them but it’s going to take some time. The Longhorns will have to chip away and eventually the dam will break. But Missouri has better personnel than Texas Tech and considering the absences on the Texas side of the field, Terry Beckner Jr.might be the best NFL prospect on the field. I’m a firm believer in Tom Herman and his ability to have a team ready to play, so I won’t be the least bit surprised if this game is tight late and the Longhorns have a chance to win. But Texas is starting this race with less than a full tank, and I don’t see the Longhorns being able to have enough left to finish the job. Missouri 34, Texas 27 |

12-27-17 | Purdue v. Arizona -3 | Top | 38-35 | Loss | -110 | 45 h 54 m | Show |
COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA -3 Arizona has been a fairly wild team this season. On offense, they average 495 yards and 41.8 points per game. On defense, they allow 467 yards as an average. They’ve had to score a ton in order to get these victories, and that’s started to turn on them in the last month. In the opposite spectrum of their bowl opponent, they lost three of their last four games and gave up 42 points or more in all of those defeats. The lone win was over a very bad team in Oregon State. While the team may not be that great, they’re unquestionably fun to watch, especially quarterback Khalil Tate. He’s listed as probable despite nursing a shoulder injury, and he’s the obvious make-or-break player for the team. In the air, he’s posted an adequate 1,289 passing yards and a ratio of nine touchdowns to eight picks. On the ground, he adds another 1,353 yards and 12 more scores. He averages more yards on the ground per play than in the air. The key in this game is the offense. Purdue doesn't have much to offer. They are just 1-5 ATS. I have Arizona winning 34-23. |

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GOLD GOY IOWA -2.5 Iowa’s run defense is good enough to battle the Eagles for four quarters. But Iowa can win with its pass rush and pass defense. The Eagles rank 114th in passing with 162.8 yards per game. Starting quarterback Anthony Brown missed the last two games and won’t play in this one, either. Senior Darius Wade will start the Pinstripe Bowl and he has performed admirably in Brown’s absence. This year, Wade has completed 46 of 75 passes for 528 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Sophomore defensive end Anthony Nelson has paced the Hawkeyes’ pass rush with 6 sacks this season. Senior linebacker Josey Jewell and freshman defensive end A.J. Epenesa chipped in with 4.5 sacks each. The Hawkeyes’ pass rush has helped the secondary flourish with 19 interceptions, tied for second-most nationally. Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson has 25 passes defensed with 7 interceptions and was named a unanimous first-team All-American. Iowa wins 24-16. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME SEAHAWKS +3 The Jaguars pulling out the biggest win of this decade all hinges on containing Russell Wilson. The Jacksonville defense hasn’t been afraid of any challengers this season, and are assuredly looking forward to the opportunity of disrupting the Seahawks quarterback. The offense has to take shots downfield, particularly early in the game. Attack Seattle early and often, obtain a lead, and let the defense go to work. Blake Bortles does not have to throw the ball all around the yard, but mistake-free decision making will be imperative. A performance resembling his game last week vs. the Colts would almost certainly secure a victory. As important will be getting Leonard Fournette back on track, and making sure he has a heavy dose of yardage. The key in this game, is the coaching. The Seahawks can pull miracle plays. I have them winning 17-13. Take the points here. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME JETS +4 When looking at this game at the beginning of the season I thought it was undoubtly a win. After watching how the Chiefs have played the last few weeks though I am not so sure anymore. Josh McCown has impressed everyone by keeping the Jets in just about every game this season, pair that with a defense that has been playing very physical football in the trenches and it gives you a team that has a chance to win just about every game. Alex Smith has struggled reading coverage lately and im not sure if that goes away this week, the Chiefs have to find a way to run the ball against this team to help him out otherwise we could see this slide continue Jets win 17-13. |

But he is more the polished quarterback of the two under center at Soldier Field and a 49ers defense that is making gradual improvements is unlikely to fear Trubisky.

Barrett was sidelined with a knee injury late in that game but is expected to play this week against the Badgers. The Buckeyes are just 1-4 ATS over their last five games since going 3-0 ATS in their previous three. Saturday night's total is set at 51.5 points. The OVER is 8-1 in Ohio State's last nine games. The Buckeyes haven't lost a game to Wisconsin since 2010. The Badgers enter this game in much better form, but the Buckeyes may have the mental edge given the recent history between these two teams and Ohio State's experience playing in big games. The key in this game is the Ohio St offense. I have Ohio St winning 34-17. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME Panthers -4 the Panthers running back duo of Jonathan Stewart and Christian McCaffrey also recently began to emerge as Carolina hoped to add speed into the lineup and create running lanes with potential deep threats in the passing game. After trading No. 1 wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, the results have been positive to this point. In two games since the trade Stewart and McCaffrey have combined for 275 total yards and three touchdowns. If Carolina continues to get this production from their running backs they should be set up nicely for a playoff push over the next few weeks. The Jets have defensive lineman Steve McLendon to clog runs up the middle but overall have struggled to contain opposing running backs. New York currently ranks No. 23 in rush defense allowing 117.9 yards per game on average. However, the unit did contain Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy nicely in Week 9, limiting him to just 25 yards on 12 carries after allowing over 100-yards to him in their first meeting. I have the Panthers winning 30-23. Lay the money on the Panthers |

Alabama’s punting game is solid, Auburn’s isn’t. The Auburn punters are combining to average under 40 yards per kick, putting just nine inside the 20 and with just three 50-yard blasts. Alabama’s J.K. Scott is averaging 43 yards per boot with 21 put inside the 20 with 13 kicks of over 50 yards. The Auburn punt coverage team is mediocre, while Alabama has allowed just four returns for five yards. The field will be tilted on Auburn’s side just a wee bit too much.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME DUKE -24.5 When senior star guard Grayson Allen can go 2-of-9 from the floor and score just five points, Duke should struggle in most games. Right? Not against Furman or with so much talent on their roster. Freshman forward Marvin Bagley III picked up the slack with 24 points and eight rebounds to lead the Blue Devils to the 29-point home win. Freshman point guard Trevon Duval added 18 points, four rebounds and four assists on 9-of-12 shooting. Duke beat up the Paladins on the boards by 13 and shot 60.9 percent from the floor. About the only things they didn’t do well was shoot the 3 (5-17) and they still managed to score 92 points. They also went to the foul line just 13 times, making nine. Bagley (6-11, 234)looks like the nation’s top freshman with Michael Porter (back) out for the season. he’s averaging 19.2 points and 9.0 rebounds. Freshman Gary Trent Jr. (6-6, 209) adds 11.6 points and 5.4 rebounds, while Duval produces 13.6 points and 7.6 assists per game. Allen is second on the team in scoring with 18.4 points and 3.2 assists. I have Duke winning by 32 points. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME Lions +3 What a great game to enjoy on Thanksgiving, between two evenly matched teams in a showdown that will have a big impact on the NFC North standings. The Vikings have won six straight since losing to the Lions in October and are capable of a dominant defensive effort every week. The Lions have issues on both lines, but Stafford and their opportunistic secondary keep them in every game. The Lions won’t be out of the playoff mix with a loss, but they will be playing for a wildcard. They’re not quite ready for that yet, which means they’ll squeak out a win for their fourth straight. Pick: Lions 20, Vikings 17 |

NFL 100 DIME GAME SAINTS -7.5 For the Redskins, receiver Ryan Grant is in the NFL’s concussion protocol, safety DeAngelo Hall has a bone bruise in his right knee, and defensive lineman Anthony Lanier has a sprained knee. Gruden said tight end Jordan Reed is day-to-day after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury. Washington is 1-5 ATS in its last six overall, 1-4 ATS in its last five against the NFC, and 4-9 ATS in its last 13 after allowing more than 30 points in its previous outing. The Saints are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 overall, 4-1 ATS in their last five at home, 9-1 ATS in their last 10 against losing opponents, 5-1 ATS in their last six at home against opponents with losing road records, 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 against the NFC, and 12-2 ATS in their last 14 following a win.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME DAYTON -1.5 The Dayton Flyers are 1-0, but they could easily be 0-1 right now after their poor defensive showing against the Ball State Cardinals on Friday. The Flyers escaped with a 78-77 win over a Ball State team that wasn’t expected to keep the score close. The Cardinals finished the game shooting 46 percent from the field and had seven players shoot 50 percent or better from the field. Despite the poor defensive effort, the Flyers were able to get the win thanks to a heads up play by Xeyrius Williams, who lobbed a pass to Josh Cunningham, who was able to lay it in with one second left on the clock. Cunningham led the Flyers with 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds as well. Darrell Davis and John Crosby added 16 and 13 points respectively in what ended up being one of the most exciting games on Friday. |

College Hoops 75 Dime Game Santa Clara +5.5 Santa Clara started off the season against Division III La Verne and cruised to a 120-70 point laugher. They were up by 22 points at the break and then throttled them even further by a 54-26 advantage in the second half. The Broncos hit 62.3 percent of their shots and took advantage of 23 turnovers from La Verne. If there was any issue, it was the home team committing 24 fouls and allowing La Verne to hit 9-of-22 from downtown. As expected, both teams cleared out the benches. Santa Clara put in 13 total players and freshman guard Shaquille Walters saw the most action off the bench (23 minutes). He capitalized by hitting 8-of-9 field goals and finishing with 20 points. Starter KJ Feagin led all scoring with 21 points as he nailed 7-of-13 from the field. I like Santa Clara to pull the victory out right! Take the points here. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME DUKE -2 On the offensive side of the ball, avoiding turnovers is obviously the major key, but making the Blue Devils work on each possession is top priority. Duke is a deep, talented team, but the Spartans must wear the Blue Devils down with ball movement in order to be effective. Shooting without a single pass will doom Michigan State. Defensively, guarding the perimeter is important. Duke can shoot the lights out from long range and proved that through the first two games, making 46 percent of its 3-pointers as a team. Michigan State can’t get lazy on defense and must account for everyone who is on the floor as they can all shoot from range. I have Duke by 4 points or more |

NFL 100 DIME GOW DOLPHINS +9 The Dolphins won three games in a row to reach 4-2 on the season, but they are now trying to stop a two-game losing skid following a 27-24 loss to Oakland last week. Miami led the Raiders well into the second quarter, but they fell down by two scores in the third and couldn't quite recover. Near the end, though, the Dolphins managed a late touchdown that gave them a push ATS as three-point 'dogs. On the night Miami outgained Oakland 395-379, as quarterback Jay Cutler, back in action after missing the previous game with sore ribs, threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. But the Dolphins also missed an extra point, lost a fumble from the Raiders 24-yard line and came up empty on three other incursions inside Oakland territory. At 4-4 overall Miami occupies the No. 7 spot in the AFC standings at the moment, just a game behind Tennessee, Jacksonville and Buffalo, who are all 5-3. Take the Dolphins and the 9 points. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME NOTRE DAME -3 The Miami offense isn’t good. It’s awful on third downs, was worse against Virginia Tech at throwing the ball at times, and it struggled way too much to put the game well out of reach. Malik Rosier has been fine, but he misfired on 11 of his 21 throws with three picks. He ran well, but he has to be nearly perfect – he can’t give the Irish O any easy chances. The Hurricanes are second-to-last in the ACC on third downs. This week, that’s not okay against an ultra-efficient offensive machine that doesn’t make a whole lot of mistakes. Yes, Wimbush got hurt. And Ian Book stepped in and hit all eight of his passes. Yes, Adams was out early. And the Irish finished with 380 rushing yards and four scores. The Irish pull the victory 28-17. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME GEORGIA TECH +3 The Yellow Jackets are just a few plays away from being 7-1. We’d all be very worried if that was the case. We’re all worried anyway, because of Paul Johnson’s style of offense, but the worry factor would be multiplied by about five if the Jackets had won those close games, or even two of them. The Georgia Tech offense has had four very good offensive games from a points standpoint, one middling offensive game, and one bad offensive game. The Virginia Tech defense is closer to the Miami and Clemson defenses than it is to teams like Pitt, UNC, Wake Forest and Virginia. Still, I don’t see the Hokies holding the Jackets to 10 points like Clemson. I’m hoping for a defensive performance somewhere between Miami and Clemson’s performances against Georgia Tech. With the way the VT offense has been playing, allowing 24 points might not be good enough. Twenty or fewer, however, is very doable. Virginia Tech is 6-3 against Paul Johnson. In VT’s six wins, Georgia Tech has scored 17, 21, 26, 17, 10 and 21 points, for an average of 18.67 points per game. In VT’s three losses, the Jackets have scored 28, 27 and 30 points, for an average of 28.33 points per game. According to my algorithms, I have GT winning 30-27. |

Quite commonly, this game comes down to avoiding mistakes, and capitalizing upon the opportunities whenever they are presented. Meyer knows that the skeptics are beginning to whisper about the Buckeyes, and it should make for must-see TV when the ball is kicked off at noon within Ohio Stadium. It should be a tough, traditional, Big Ten-style of game, and Ohio State ekes a close one out at home to keep its division title hopes alive. According to my algorithms, I have Ohio St winning 27-20. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME AKRON +7.5 Akron is still deep in the hunt for the MAC title, needing to win this week to set up a showdown against Ohio in the East game of the year. The Zips might not be doing much offensively, but the defense has been solid against everyone but Toledo. More than anything else, the team has figured out how to win close games, pulling off two one-point wins in the last three outings. Now on a run of four wins in the last five games, everything is set up for a big finishing kick – and to become bowl eligible. Miami is just trying to find something positive. The team that went on a late run to go bowling last year now has to win its final three games to do it again. Win this week, get by Eastern Michigan at home next Wednesday, and beat Ball State – bowl game. The hope is for QB Gus Ragland to be back, healthy, and good enough to go, but the offense hasn’t necessarily been the problem. The Akron offense isn’t anything special, but it’s terrific at keeping the chains moving. Miami doesn’t have a pass rush and it’s not nearly disruptive enough in key moments. While the RedHawks are able to control the clock, they’re not going to control the game. According to my algorithms, I have the Zips winning 28-21. Take the points here. |

Without Ezekiel Elliot, the Cowboys offense won’t be able to keep up with Alex Smith’s high powered attack. The Cowboys defense is full of holes, Smith will have one of his best games this season as Hill and Kelce carve up Big D’s secondary. On defense Bob Sutton’s group will have a get right game. The front seven combines for four sacks and holds the Cowboy’s running game under 100 yards. Dallas will make it seem close due to a big play or two from Prescott and Dez Bryant. The Chiefs get a big road win and enter the bye 7-2 atop the AFC. According to my algorithms, I have the Chiefs winning 28-24 |

K-State is No. 2 in the Big 12 in rushing offense and last in passing offense. Jesse Ertz is the K-State quarterback who is most likely to throw, while Alex Delton and Skylar Thompson might run more. But all three are threats to carry the ball, along with running back Alex Barnes. Texas Tech is No. 7 in the Big 12 in rushing defense and allowed Oklahoma running back Rodney Anderson to rush for 181 yards on 24 carries last week. I like Texas Tech here, to limit Kansas States's main offense attack. According to my algorithms, I have Texas Tech winning 41-28. |

NFL 150 DIME GOY PANTHERS 1.5 Carolina should be able to count on its defense, which knows that Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston can be rattled. So putting a heavy pass rush on him will be a priority. That worked at times against Chicago's rookie quarterback, though it didn't result in turnovers. The Panthers haven't been in a takeaway mode much this season and that's something they'll look to change. Given the amount of pass rush they're capable of applying, they'll need to get more benefits out of that. The Bucs would like to get running back Doug Martin to set the tone and help their play action work. Winston has 10 touchdowns and only four interceptions, so he's protecting the football well. But the Panthers know how to pressure the quarterback, so he has to make quick decisions. The Bucs are without 2 key cornerbacks. The Panthers have the edge here, and should hold the game down. According to my algorithms, I have the Panthers winning 24-17. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 150 DIME GOY WYOMING -1.5 Wyoming might not be all that flashy, and it’s not doing enough with a star quarterback in Josh Allen to lead the way, but it’s still in the Mountain West title hunt – but now it needs some help. New Mexico is fighting for its 2017 survival. It’s not playing all that well, but it’s managing to battle hard in a loss to Colorado State. Now it needs to win three of the final five games to go bowling. The Lobo offense is miserable on third downs, but it’s still running well and it’s still dangerous – it’s just inconsistent. Wyoming has no offense – it’s last in the Mountain West – but the defensive front is outstanding at getting into the backfield and should be able to stuff the Lobos before they get started. At home, Wyoming will win the turnover battle, and the defensive will take over in a low-scoring battle. Wyoming wins 24-17. |

INSIDE MOVE 100 DIME GOY CALIFORNIA +4 Cal has a slight advantage on defense. However, the Bears have sorely missed playmaking linebacker Devante Downs, who was the leading tackler in the Pac-12 when he went down with a season-ending injury against Washington State. Downs led the team with three sacks and also recorded 5.5 tackles for a loss, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. The unit as a whole has improved, but it’s difficult to replace such a talented and productive player. Furthermore, both quarterbacks are turnover prone. Colorado's Steven Montez has thrown six interceptions, and Cal starter Ross Bowers has been picked off 10 times, including two last week. Given the uncertainty surrounding Montez as the starter, as well as Cal’s success forcing turnovers and the presence of running back Phillip Lindsay, we can expect the Buffs to lean heavily on the ground game. Since Cal has shown improvement stopping the run. This game will be tight. I have Cal winning 27-23. |

The Washington Wizards continue to deal with injuries and a lack of depth, which almost cost them both of their first two victories. Washington also isn't nearly the same team on the road as it is at home. The Denver Nuggets are a legit playoff contender in the West this season and need to take care of home court to make that a reality. A much better showing for the Nuggets in their last game, and I expect them to build on that here |

Brady shredded them in the second half and overtime during the Super Bowl and there is no reason to think he will be unable to do so again. Atlanta cannot be playing with confidence, either, having lost to much worse AFC East opposition at home. Atlanta is 4-10 ATS in its last 14 following a loss and 0-4 ATS in its last four in October.

But I think this Broncos team is going to come out of the gates white-hot mad and do enough to win this game. Philip Rivers will keep the Chargers in the game, but I do not think it will be enough.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA -2.5 California faces another challenging matchup Saturday against visiting Arizona and emerging star Khalil Tate. The sophomore quarterback led the Wildcats to a 47-30 win over UCLA last Saturday in his first start of the season while Cal forced seven turnovers and recorded nine sacks in a 37-3 win over the Cougars. One week after setting the FBS record for rushing for a quarterback with 327 yards against Colorado, Tate rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 148 yards and a score against the Bruins. The future is suddenly bright for the explosive Wildcats, who have won three of their last four games and sit tied with Arizona State for second place in the Pac-12 South after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason media poll. The Wildcats look to maintain their momentum against a Cal team that snapped a three-game losing streak with their surprising win over Washington State. The Bears had five interceptions in the victory but will need to adjust without inside linebacker and leading tackler Devante Downs, who suffered a season-ending injury against the Cougars. Tate has received back-to-back Pac-12 offensive player of the week honors and helped open up a running game led by Nick Wilson, who posted his best numbers since the 2016 opener with 135 yards and two touchdowns against UCLA. Freshman Kylan Wilborn had four of the Wildcats' five sacks against the Bruins while cornerback Jace Whittaker added two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. The defense has forced 13 turnovers but will be without tackle Parker Zellers for the first half Saturday after the senior was ejected for targeting last week. Downs' injury is a huge blow for the resurgent Cal defense and will place a greater burden on the front line and inside linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk, who was named Pac-12 defensive player of the week after recording 11 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one interception against Washington State. The Bears' offense remains inconsistent but looked sharp against the Cougars as Vic Enwere replaced injured starter Patrick Laird and rushed for season highs of 22 carries for 102 yards with a score. Arizona has averaged 45 points 4 of 6 games. According to my algorithms, I have Arizona winning 37-30. |

Furthermore, Hawkeyes QB Nathan Stanley has been tremendous, already throwing 15 touchdowns this season and he is facing a weak pass defense that is allowing an average of 250 passing yards per game, which ranks them down at 101st in the Country. Iowa is 17-7 ATS in their last 24 road games. According to my algorithms. I have Iowa winning 24-17. |

HIGH ROLLER 100 DIME GAME Memphis +3 This seems like a well-balanced and even matchup across the board. Memphis has the conference's top wide receiver in Anthony Miller, but Houston's passing game has playmakers as well with Steven Dunbar and Linell Bonner. Where Memphis has the clear advantage is at quarterback with Riley Ferguson. Kyle Postma supplanted Kyle Allen as the starter but can be prone to make a mistake with the ball even if Houston is ahead comfortably (four interceptions were thrown with a lead up to 14 points). Expect another good outing from Ferguson and Miller on the national stage to get Memphis out of Houston with an important win. Houston is not the same team without Head Coach Herman! According to my Predictions, I have Memphis winning 34-24. |

Entering the game, the Rams offence (second in NFL scoring at 30.4 ppg) was the story of the NFL, but they turned over the ball five times, and that was a key stat in the loss Sunday afternoon. Running back Todd Gurley has had a comeback season and is currently ranked third in league rushing with 405 yards. Of note, receiver Sammy Watkins didn’t have a reception or even a target in the loss to the Seahawks. The Jaguars are coming off their best performance this season (in years?) with a convincing 30-9 victory over the Steelers in Pittsburgh. The defence was outstanding in the win, holding the Steelers no touchdowns, 0 for 3 in the red zone. The Jags defence also picked off Ben Roethlisberger five times, returning two of them for majors. Rookie running back Leonard Fournette is making a case for Offensive Rookie of the Year, as he scrambled for 181 yards and two touchdowns. He already has 466 yards on the ground, good enough for second in the NFL behind Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt. Quarterback Blake Bortles had his struggles this past Sunday. Despite the win Bortles threw a career-low 14 passes for 95 yards the entire game. According to my algorithms, I have the Rams winning 24-20. Take the Points here. |

PLATINUM 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA +2.5 Arizona and UCLA combined for just seven wins a season ago; they have six combined coming into this game. Needless to say, both teams are dramatically improved from 2016. The winner will head into the season's second half at 4-2 and above .500 in Pac-12 play, with a real opportunity to make noise in the South division. UCLA has dominated the series since Mora took over, but the matchups have always favored the Bruins. This year looks like the exception. Arizona's multidimensional rushing attack should be able to take advantage of a Bruin defense ranked No. 129 in FBS stopping the run. Arizona's defense has made considerable strides this season, although slowing Rosen and the passing attack could prove difficult. Still, the Wildcats have shown an ability to rise up on that side of the ball, even in the two losses. This time, Arizona should get just enough defense for a win. According to my algorithms, I have Arizona winning 42-35. |

Through four games, Walton had racked up 428 yards on the ground and 91 yards off seven catches. He had more than double the yards of Miami’s next-best back, Travis Homer.

This is still the nation’s No. 1 defense, it’s still fantastic at getting into the backfield, and it’s great at generating pressure in key spots. There isn’t enough of a Hoosier downfield passing game to worry about the field being stretched – the Wolverines will tee off against the IU ground attack and midrange passes.

NFL 100 DIME OFFSET GOY PANTHERS -3 The Carolina Panthers continued their winning ways on the road against Detroit last week. However, set to face the Eagles on Thursday night, Carolina wasn’t left with much opportunity to celebrate. Instead, the team is faced with a short week of preparation and another game just four days removed from their last. Quarterback Cam Newton is riding a hot streak, throwing for six touchdowns in the last two games with only one interception. Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz continues to impress during his sophomore NFL season. The beneficiary of a great offensive line, Philadelphia is expected to be without right tackle Lane Johnson on Thursday. Johnson suffered a concussion on Sunday against the Cardinals and the short week will hinder his opportunity to clear the league’s concussion protocol prior to game time. His impact is obvious as the Eagles are 9-2 when he plays and just 2-11 if he doesn’t, since the beginning of last year. Backup tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai will have a difficult time slowing down the Panthers pass rush provided by Mario Addison and Julius Peppers. The two have combined for eight and one-half sacks already this season. The scary thing for other NFL teams is that both have proven capable of passing various test this season but neither Carolina or Philadelphia has played their best football. Don’t expect an exceptional showing from either team with limited time to prepare but Newton and the Panthers should produce enough for the win in prime time. According to my alogithms, I have the this game at a Tier 1. Panthers win 24-13. |

BOOKIE BLOWOUT 100 DIME GOM CHIEFS -1 Kansas City is the only undefeated team left in the NFL and that is looking like no fluke. Included in the Chiefs’ record is a road win over New England. Their offense is cooking behind Smith, Hunt, Kelce, and Tyreek Hill. The Chiefs are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall, 13-3 ATS in their last 16 on the road, 4-1 ATS in their last five against the AFC, 4-0 ATS in their last four following a win, and 4-0 ATS in their last four after gaining more than 350 total yards in their previous outing. Houston is 1-5 ATS in its last six following a win, 1-11 ATS in its last 12 Week 5 contests, and 2-5 ATS in its last seven at home against Kansas City. Expect those trends to continue.

NFL GOLD GAME 100 DIME GOY I am taking 1.5 points with the Jets in this matchup. The Jets have pulled off two straight impressive wins against two decent teams, so I am confident they can take on the Browns who rank near the bottom of the NFL in points for and against. The Jets running game has been solid led by Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire which has allowed them to score at least 20 points in three straight weeks against some solid defensive teams. Furthermore, Isaiah Crowell has struggled to move the ball on the ground for the Browns and Kizer has not looked good, throwing only three touchdowns with eight interceptions, so I can’t see Cleveland scoring many points The Jets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against the Browns. According to my algorithms, I have the Jets winning 25-13. |

The UNLV offense is working, but the defense is getting run over San Diego St. is 9-2 ATS in October games. According to my algorithms, I have San Diego St pulling the Blowout 45-13. |

CFB MAX BET 100 DIME GOY Fresno St -17 San Jose State has shown a complete inability to stop opposing teams from moving up and down the field at will. Giving up nearly 550 yards and 41 points to a UNLV team that lost to Howard, an FCS program, as a 44 point favorite shows that the Spartans have major issues. Fresno State bounced back from being crushed by Alabama and Washington to get back in the win column. The Bulldogs make it two in a row by rolling past the hapless Spartans here. The Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS with teams with losing records. This game will be a Blow out! According to my algorithms, I have the Bulldogs winning 38-13. |

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME SMU +10 The Mustangs sport the No. 3 scoring offense in the country, averaging 48.2 points per game. Houston, meanwhile, is the No. 14 scoring defense, allowing 14.8 points per game. Needless to say, this matchup is going to be the one that determines this game. Appearances in the red zone will be a strength vs. strength matchup -- SMU has scored on 94.4 percent of its trips to the red zone while Houston has allowed no points on a third of its stands inside its own 20. SMU will need to establish its run game quickly against a Houston defense that allows 155.8 rushing yards per game. Houston is a different team without coach Herman. This game could be decided within 3 points. I like SMU to pull the victory. |

STRIP CLUB MOVE 100 DIME GOM FLORIDA -3 LSU not having its stuff together with injures and inconsistencies taking over. Star RB Derrius Guice was out against the Trojans, two freshman started on the line, and the defense was missing a few key parts. Florida might not be amazing, but it has its formula down, and now the power running game appears to be working. Troy’s Jordan Chunn tore off 191 yards and a score on the Tigers. Florida only had a few big runs against Vandy, but it controlled the game and took the pressure off Franks and Del Rio by grinding out the O with Malik Davis and Lamical Perine. With a defense that’s dominating on third downs, I don't see LSU offense doing much. The Gator secondary will be a rock, the defensive front will own the wounded LSU O line, and it’ll be yet another hard-fought uggo that will look just fine for Florida in the standings. According to my algoritms, I have this game as a TIER 1. Florida winings 24-17. |

EXECUTIVE 100 DIME GOW NC STATE +4.5 The North Carolina State Wolf Pack have been a pleasant surprise in the Atlantic Coast Conference. While Louisville has been rolling teams, their competition has been pretty poor the last couple weeks. Louisville is going to face a defense that can compete, and problems will arise from that. Look for North Carolina State to have a plan to contain Jackson, and that’s the Cardinals offense. While this could be a pretty fun game, the home underdog is where to bet this game. North Carolina State has emerged as a solid offensive team with more than 34 points per game. The passing game has thrown for more than 293 per game, while rushing for 168 per game. Jaylen Samuels is the top receiver for the Wolf Pack with 321 yards and 3 touchdowns. The run game is anchored by Nyheim Hines, with 411 yards. The Wolfpack are 4-1 ATS in their last five Thursday games. According to my algorithms, I have a Tier 2. I have NC State winning 30-27, and 31-30. I would take the points here. |

NFL HIGH ROLLER 100 DIME GOY BRONCOS-3 Despite the loss, I still have faith in the Denver Broncos. While the Raiders did beat an up and coming Titans team, they showed that they are vulnerable. The Broncos on paper look better than the Raiders do. With this being a home game and a key divisional round, I believe the Denver Broncos bounce back and get the win. And here is a bonus. The No Fly Zone rebounds. Aqib Talib also snatches another chain. Denver is 8-2-1 ATS last 11 against Oakland and the favorite is 8-1-1 ATS last 10 in this series. The Broncos are the better defensive team, allowing just 59.7 rushing yards per game. Von Miller and company will be in Carr’s face all game. According to my algorithms, I have this game at a Tier 3. I have the Broncos winning 28-17, 34-24, and 30-21. |

NFL 100 GOLD GAME GOM BENGALS -3 Cincinnati has been bad; Cleveland has been even worse. The Bengals showed some encouraging signs of progress against Green Bay but simply could not get the defensive stop they needed at the end of regulation in order to prevent overtime. Progress should be expected, because they feature veterans at key offensive positions in Dalton and Green. Cleveland, on the other hand, is sporting a rookie quarterback who is struggling mightily and not getting much help. Cincinnati is 12-5 ATS in its last 17 on the road, 10-4 ATS in its last 14 against losing opponents, and 8-2 ATS in its last 10 on grass. The Browns are 6-22-1 ATS in their last 29 overall, 2-8 ATS in their last 10 at home, 1-6 ATS in their last seven against losing opponents, 5-21 ATS in their last 26 following a loss, 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 against the AFC, 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 on grass, and 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings between the two teams.

NFL 100 DIME MEGA MOVE SAINTS -3 This game will be played overseas and this is a big game for both teams, especially for the Saints, who are looking to get back to .500 for the year, after a 0-2 start. Miami looked horrible on offense in their loss to the Jets and their defense struggled against Josh McCown. Now they take on one of the best QBs in this league and a New Orleans offense that has looked very good so far. The Saints just took out the Panthers on the road, so they are playing with some confidence right now, while the Dolphins have to be questioning themselves after losing 20-6 to the Jets. The Dolphins struggled against the pass in the preseason and that has carried over to the regular, so they don’t really have that big of an edge on defense, while the Saints have a huge edge on offense, especially with Brees over Cutler. I look for the Saints to build off of last weeks road win over Carolina and take this one by at least seven points. The Saints are 7-1 ATS when playing on the grass. According to my algirthms, I have the Saints winning 34-23. Tier 4 Game. |

This could easily turn into whichever team that makes one or two stops winning the game. Colorado State has been effective offensively and had an extra week to prep for this contest. Hawaii scuffled at key times against Wyoming and it cost them. Look for Colorado State, with the extra week of rest, to overcome the time difference and travel factor to come up with the win here. Colorado St. is 7-0 ATS in Conference games. According to my algorithms, I have Colorado St. winning 45-34. |

NFL 100 DIME LATE GAME MOVE RAIDERS -3 The Raiders are the more talented team on paper, the Redskins certainly could make Sunday night’s game interesting. Kirk Cousins could put up good numbers against an Oakland defense that has given up its share of yards to the Titans and Jets. The running game could play a big role in this one if either team wants to try and control the clock with extended drives. That puts more pressure on Marshawn Lynch for the Raiders and Washington’s three-headed backfield, which includes a banged-up Rob Kelley. This is a long road trip for Oakland, coming all the way across the country, but the Redskins just got back from west coast themselves after facing the Rams last Sunday. With a national television audience watching, look for the Raiders to make just enough plays on offense to squeeze out a big road win. The algorithms are a Tier 1. I have the Raiders winning 30-17 |

NFL 100 DIME STRIP CLUB MOVE CHIEFS -3 Alex Smith loves playing in southern California. As a Chief Alex Smith has a 109.0 passer rating in away games vs the Chargers. Smith will have another impressive game (250-plus passing yards, two touchdowns) thus adding more fuel to the Alex Smith has changed phenomenon. I wanted to say the Chargers will score less than 17 because I don't think the Chargers offensive line will hold up well against the Chiefs pass rush. This game could get ugly quick as Philip Rivers tries to do too much and eventually turns the ball over. Talent-wise the Chiefs are superior to the Chargers in nearly every position group. The Chargers will have to devise the perfect game plan to win this game, while the Chiefs just need to be average to win. The only thing making this game seem closer than it actually is will be the garbage time touchdown the Chargers always seem to score against the Chiefs. According to my algorithms, I have the Chargers winning 30-20 and 28-17. |

HIGH ROLLER 100 DIME GOM Both schools really looked good last week, but both have played against weak teams. The Arizona Wildcats ran for a bundle of yards on the UTEP Miners, but the defense they face in this one will not be so easy to conquer. The Utes led the league in run defense last year and they are lead by a defensive line that rates first in the PAC-12 and 7th in the country. The Arizona defense was one of the worst in the league last year, especially their pass defense. That could be a big problem as Mr. Carrington is one of the better wide outs in Division I ball. Tyler Huntley is hot and should have a very good game against the Wildcats. I look for Utah to win this one by at least seven points. Also, the odds makers have this game’s over/under at 60. This could go either way in my opinion, but the Wildcats would have to score their fair share to get that done. The Utah defense is just to good to lay your money against that in this game. The Utes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games, while The Wildcats are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Take Utah -3 and watch their defense along with Huntley to Carrington be the deciding factor. |

NFL 75 DIME INSIDE MOVE GOW This game sets up for low scoring, with two offenses searching for the plays that could give their defenses a lift. Beckham Jr. holds the keys to this one, and if he's out, the Lions are likely to have too much more than the Giants on offense. But indications are he'll play, and that schematic advantage will help a New York team desperate to avoid an 0-2 start, playing at home on national TV. Between Beckham Jr.'s plays and some Lions special-teams mistakes that won't all disappear in just one week, the Giants get a little bit more scoring to take this one. According to my algorithms, I have the Giants winning 24-17. |

NFL 100 DIME GAME The Rams looked good last week! Rams QB Jared Goff was (21-for-29 passing), one-TD performance was easily the best of his pro career. He distributed the ball well too, as three players had five or more receptions, and four different men tallied 50 or more yards – rookie Cooper Kupp’s four catches for 76 yards and a TD led the way, while team newbie Sammy Watkins was efficient, hauling in all five targets for 58 yards. The Rams run game was a little quite, but things worked out great for them. The Rams have made adjustments with coaching. I like this particular matchup with the Redskins. The Redskins are not a money team, but the algorithms are tier 3. According to my algorithms, I have the Rams winning 34-17, 28-20, and 23-16. Lay the money on the Rams. |

BOOKIE BLOWOUT 100 DIME GOM The line opened up at Clemson football -4.5. It has dropped some places to the Tigers -3, which means a lot of the money is coming in on the Cardinals.Despite that fact, I will take Clemson minus the 3. The Tigers, in my opinion, will be able to take advantage of Louisville’s weak defense and score some points early. That will give Kelly Bryant confidence going forward and the offense will look a lot more in sync as the game progresses. Louisville will score some points on the Clemson defense, as well, but they won’t be able to keep up as the Tigers’ dominant front-seven provides pressure on Lamar Jackson. The algorithms are a Tier 2 Strong! I have Clemson winning 35-23 and 42-30. Lay the money on Clemson for the win. |

OFFSHORE MOVE 150 DIME GOY Rosen and UCLA’s offense will have their way in this game, but so will the Tigers’ backfield, making it possible for both teams to get an even share in time of possessions. Rosen is going to light up the air against Memphis. After all, the Tigers don’t have that imposing defense that’s making Rosen lose some sleep over it. It doesn’t even matter who’s downfield for Rosen. Caleb Wilson led the team in receptions and receiving yards with 15 and 208 respectively against the Aggies, but got only three catches for 31 yards versus Hawaii. The receiving leader of the Hawaii game? Theo Howard, who had seven catches for 110 receiving yards – almost four times more than the 32 receiving yards on two catches he had against Texas A&M. Rosen could easily make a star out of his wideouts and a mockery of opposing defenses. The Memphis defense will have some issues against a team that averages 529 yards per game. According to my algorithms, I have a 1st Tier blowout! UCLA wins 45-38 |

High Roller 100 Dime GOY The Utah Utes had a solid 9-4 season a year ago, but they may have to take a step back this year as they have just nine starters back overall. They did beat North Dakota in their opener by a score of 37-16, but the level of competition will go way up in this one. Utah has just four starters back on offense and gone is leading rusher Joe Williams, who had 1407 yards last year, but they have some experience at that spot as Zach Moss was 2nd on the team last year with 382 yards and two TDs. He is the number one back this year and had a solid outing in their win over the Flying Hawks as he ran for 128 yards and a TD on 22 carries (5.82 ypc). He should have a good year. Tyler Huntley got his first career start at QB and was solid as he hit 23 of 32 passes for 227 yards, with a TD and an INT. This is still a very average offense and will have a tough time topping the 29.8 ppg that they put up last year. BYU offense is not a good this year. They lack a lot of maturity, and I have Utah winning 24-17. |

MEGA MOVE 100 DIME EXECUTIVE PLAY Last year the Buckeyes visited Norman, Okla., and defeated the Sooners 45-24. Oklahoma comes to Ohio Stadium on Saturday seeking revenge with two-time Heisman finalist quarterback Baker Mayfield behind one of the best offensive lines in the country. Oklahoma lost its other Heisman finalist, wide receiver Dede Westbrook, and the two-headed monster of running backs Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon to the NFL. This year OSU has a two-headed monster of its own. Mike Weber returns from injury and joins freshman standout J.K. Dobbins, who gained 205 yards from scrimmage at Indiana in the Buckeyes’ opener. OSU struggled in the first half against Indiana as the Buckeyes displayed a lack of trust in the run game and an overcommitment to the passing game. Indiana often dropped eight men into coverage, essentially daring the Buckeyes to run the ball. OSU quarterback J.T. Barrett had some difficulty finding open receivers until Dobbins found success on the ground and forced Indiana to play with more men in the box. If Ohio State can establish the running game early on against Oklahoma, the Buckeyes will be able to control the tempo and scoreboard. The Scarlet and Gray should be able to combat the Sooners’ strong offensive line with the best defensive front in the country, which held Indiana to only 17 rushing yards. The Buckeyes will control the line of scrimmage and outrun the Sooners to victory. According to my algorithms, I have Ohio State 48, Oklahoma 24 |
