11-05-17 | Broncos v. Eagles -7 | 23-51 | Win | 100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
Broncos playing their third straight road game here and off a short week on top of it having played last Monday Night. It's been a horrible stretch for Denver, getting shutout by the Chargers and then losing by 10 to the Chiefs last week, 29-19. Denver hasn't scored over 19 points in any of their last five games. QB Trevor Siemian has been terrible and will be replaced today by QB Brock Osweiler. Osweiler hasn't fared much better, but the change could shake things up. Now they face the NFC East leading Eagles, who are 8-1 on the season. The Eagles have the bye next week so they can figure to go all out here today. The Denver defense is one of the best, but not sure how they will keep this team in this game against the best in the NFC. Play Philadelphia. |

11-04-17 | Ole Miss v. Kentucky -3.5 | 37-34 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 59 m | Show | |
Ole Miss is really missing these days, having dropped five of their last six games including a improbable loss to Arkansas last week, 38-37. Miss outgained the hogs by 119 yards and led the game at one point 31-7. Have to winder here what kind of mental state Ole Miss will be in for this contest. Ole Miss will once again be without their top QB, Shea Patterson. Patterson had 17 TD's in his seven games he played. Despite scoring 37 last week, QB replacement Jordan Ta'amu did not throw a TD. Kentucky is 6-2 and bowl eligible at this point. HC Mike Stoops will want wins for sure now as each win after six results in $250 in his pocket. Ole Miss is just 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 road games and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven conference games. Mike Stoops will want this win bad, and I don't think Ole Miss can stop the Kentucky offense. Play Kentucky. |

11-04-17 | Stanford v. Washington State +1 | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 16 h 31 m | Show | |
Both these clubs coming off lackluster efforts as Stanford (6-2) barely got by Oregon State and Washington State (7-2) has now lost two in a row. The good news is that both these teams still control their own destiny. Washington State win here and they have road games at Utah and Washington to play for the Conference Championship. Stanford wins here and they close out at home against Washington and Cal to play for the Conference Championship. WSU used two QB's last week that combined for 609 yards passing and four INT's. The only good news is that Stanford generates very little pressure on the QB and that should result in fewer INT's. The Cardinal are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four raod games and 2-5-1 ATS their last eight against a team with a winning record. WSU is 5-2 ATS their last seven and 20-8 ATS in games following passing yards of 280 or more. I see this WSU team finally getting back to what we saw when they started the season at 6-0. They know this is important and it's at home. Play Washington State. |
|||||||
11-04-17 | Northwestern -1.5 v. Nebraska | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 15 h 28 m | Show | |
Northwestern showed lots of grit last week in their home win over Michigan State. Despite trailing 10-0 to the very good defensive Spartans, the Wildcats tied the score at 10 by half and then shut down MSU in the 2nd half to pull away for the win. Now the Cats will have revenge on their minds at Licoln today. The Wildcats were beaten on their home turf last year by Nebraska, 24-13. This year's Nebraska team has been going downhill the last few weeks. After starting the season strong with their running game, they have tallied just 44 and 40 yards the last two weeks on the ground. The team's lack of offense is why the Huskers are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 and 0-5 ATS in their last five home games. The Wildcats have been very good to bettors, going 12-4 ATS in their last 16 away games and 5-1 in their last six overall. In addition, the road team has covered the last four in this series. The Wildcats are a very good team with revenge on their minds and that results in a NWU win here on Saturday. Play Northwestern. |
|||||||
11-04-17 | Penn State v. Michigan State +10 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
I have to wonder how mentally effected this Penn State team will be after a devastating loss at Ohio State last week. They went from controlling their own destiny in the top four to now needing help. Meanwhile the Spartans will have to try and generate some offense as they have scored 17 points in each of their last three Big 10 games. Considering that Penn State has scored less than 30 points just once this year and the math means MSU has to step up the offensive effort. The weather might be of help here today for Michigan State as its expected to rain for the entire game. Statistically the Nittany Lions are the better team. However, this contest comes down to motivation and focus. I don't see Penn State getting blown out here and getting 9.5 points just seems too many to me. I'm taking the home dog, Michigan State. |
|||||||
11-03-17 | Bulls v. Magic -8 | 105-83 | Loss | -107 | 16 h 11 m | Show | |
Chicago looks for its first win on the road this season against three losses. The Bulls are 1-5 overall and 0-3 away, but have covered four of six games. The Magic are 6-2 S/U and a perfect 3-0 S/U at home. Fourth pick Aaron Gordon is playing great, shooting 60.9% from the field over the last five games. The struggling Bulls bright spot is Rookie 7-foot-0 forward Lauri Markkanen, who had a season best 25 points last time and is averaging 17.2 ppg. Not only is the home team covered five of the last six in this series, but they Magic are 8-3 ATS the last 11 meetings. Magic playing too good right now to pass on here. Play Orlando. |
|||||||
11-02-17 | Bills -3 v. Jets | 21-34 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 34 m | Show | |
A pair of AFC East teams clash here on Thursday as the Bills play the Jets. The Bills are 5-2 and can climb into a tie for the division lead with the Patriots with a win. The 3-5 Jets are in last place, but have been competitive. The Bills are having their best start to a season since 2008. The Bills are led by RB LeSean McCoy who is coming off a season high 27 rushes for 151 yards. The Jets have lost two straight and have seen RB Matt Forte question the play calling of OC John Morton. QB Josh McCown has thrown nine TD's in his last four games but the team looks to all but have abandoned the running game. The Bills are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games and have covered six of the last eight meetings with the Jets. Bills can control this game with their rushing attack and will be forced into what has got them into last place, their passing game. Play BUFFALO. |
|||||||
11-02-17 | Warriors -7 v. Spurs | 112-92 | Win | 100 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors are off to a 5-3 S/U start and just a 2/6 ATS record. On the road the club is 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS. In addition, the Warriors have covered just two of their last 10 games Tonight they play at the San Antonio Spurs, who are 4-3 S/U on the season and 2-0 at home. The Warriors are NO 1 in the league in scoring (121 ppg) and also tops in assists (30.9). The Warriors defense isn't very good, 27th in scoring defense allowing 114 ppg. The Spurs look to snap a three game losing streak here tonight after starting the season 4-0. The Spurs are playing shorthanded and that's a problem against a team like the Warriors. SA is without Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker, which is a big reason why they are 27th in scoring offense. The Warriors are typically a very good road team, covering 14 of their last 17 away games. Without Leonard I just don't see how the Spurs get enough offense to hang with the Warriors here. Play Golden State. |
|||||||
11-02-17 | Navy -8 v. Temple | 26-34 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
Navy (5-2) travels to Philly to play Temple (3-5) in a AAC conference battle. Temple is in desperation mode if they hope to get a bowl bid, making a win here imperative. They only have one issue, they can't stop the run. And guess what? Navy runs the ball better than anyone. Temple allowed 248 yards to the Army option last week, including three rushing TD's. Navy should have QB Zach Abey back tonight after missing two weeks with a concussion. Abey is a big part of this Navy rushing game and they need him here tonight. The Middies are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 road games while the home team is 0-4 ATS the last four in this series. Don't really see how Temple will stop Navy when they couldn't stop Army last week. Middies run all over this Temple team. Play Navy. |
|||||||
11-01-17 | Mavs v. Clippers -10 | 98-119 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Mavericks on their West Coast swing here bring a 1-7 S/U and 2/6 ATS record into this contest. They have to play the 4-2 SU and ATS Clippers tonight. Mavs have a lot of problems finding points these days in a high scoring NBA league. Dallas averages just 98.2 ppg this season and 90.3 on the road. Compare that to the Clippers who average 107.3 overall and 108 at home. Dallas is 3-10-1 ATS their last 14 overall and just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five trips to LA. Mavs overpowered in this contest and I fully expect an easy Clippers win. Play LAC. |
|||||||
10-31-17 | Suns v. Nets -4.5 | 122-114 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
The Phoenix Suns make the long trip East to play the Nets in Brooklyn. Always tougher on the West coast teams having to travel East. Especially for a team like Phoenix that is only 2-4 on the season and 0-2 on the road. Meanwhile, the Nets are 3-4 on the season and 3-1 at home. Suns coach Earl Watson didn't even make it four games into the season before being fired. Interim coach Jay Triano faced the loss guard Eric Bledsoe who just left the team. The Nets had little trouble with the Suns last year, winning by an average of 23 points. The Suns are just 3-7 ATS their last 10 road games and 1-5 ATS their last six trips to Brooklyn. Short line here for a Nets team that is 3-1 at home against likely the worst team in the NBA. Long road trip just makes matters worse. Take Brooklyn. |
|||||||
10-30-17 | Mavs v. Jazz -7.5 | 89-104 | Win | 100 | 22 h 32 m | Show | |
Dallas slow out of the gate with a 1-6 start to the season and 0-2 on the road. The Mavs haven't fared much better against the spread, covering just two of seven. The Utah Jazz are 3-3 on the season, but 3-0 at home both S/U and ATS. Good news for the Jazz is that eight of their next nine games come at home. The Mavs are allowing 107.4 ppg while scoring just 99.6 ppg. Utah's defense has been good as usual, allowing just 93.8 ppg thus far. At home the "D" has been even better, allwoing just 88 ppg. Dating back to last season the Mavs are just 3-9-1 ATS their last 13 games. Can't expect much out of the struggling Mavs here, playing in the high altitude of Salt Lake city. The Jazz shut them down here on Monday. Play Utah. |
|||||||
10-30-17 | Broncos +7.5 v. Chiefs | 19-29 | Loss | -120 | 92 h 15 m | Show | |
These two AFC rivals face each other here on Monday with the Broncos facing the possibility of a 3-4 start. When is the last time we've seen the Broncos a 7-point dog? Doesn't happen very often. The issue here is whether Denver can get their run game going to take pressure off QB Trevor Siemian who has had two bad weeks. Is it time to sit Siemian? Maybe, but I don't think we'll see that here tonight. So how can Denver cover this TD line? It's simple, their top rated defense. The defense will have to step it up and keep the team close and not rely on Siemian to pass to win this game. I think this line is too much for such a good defensive team. Kansas City is the class of the division, but Denver isn't done yet. Play the Broncos plus the TD. |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Steelers v. Lions +3 | 20-15 | Loss | -115 | 68 h 18 m | Show | |
The Lions will have to do better offensively, where they rank 30th in yards per play and 26th in yards per game. QB Matthew Stafford has not been the start QB the Lions paid such a hefty offseason price for. Stafford is 20th in the NFL in QB rating and he's been sacked 23 times in six games. Detroit is coming off its bye week and that always gives a team a lift. The Lions have covered the last five seasons the week after a bye. Add to the fact that the Lions are at home on national TV and they will be ready, despite their recent problems and injuries. Take Detroit. |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Nuggets v. Nets +4.5 | 124-111 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 4 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets bring their 2-3 record to Brooklyn today to face the 3-3 Nets. The Nuggets are just 1-2 on the road while the Nets are a perfect 3-0 at home. I'm a bit surprised that the Nuggets are a four-point road chalk here. Not only do the Nuggets have to make the long trip East, but they have the worse record and play against a Nets team that is unbeaten at home. In addition, the Nets have beat Denver three straight and 6-1 both S/U and ATS in their last seven at Brooklyn. I think the oddsmaker has this one totally wrong. I'm taking the points with Brooklyn here |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Cowboys -1.5 v. Redskins | 33-19 | Win | 100 | 64 h 12 m | Show | |
Both of these clubs enter play today with key injuries. The Redskins lost three offensive linemen last Monday night and still don't have their star corner, Josh Norman back. The Cowboys lost the best kicker in the NFL in Dan Bailey. SO these two 3-3 teams will each have to contend with issues if they want to improve to 4-3. The Redskins lack of rushing has put a lot a pressure on QB Kirk Cousins. Now with injuries to the offensive line, Cousins will come under a lot of pressure from the Cowboys defensive line. The Cowboys easily handled the 49ers last week behind RB Ezekiel Elliot's 147 yards rushing. The Cowboys had five sacks last week and that could be the same here. Cowboys just have more weapons available on both sides of the ball. Play Dallas. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | USC v. Arizona State +3.5 | 48-17 | Loss | -115 | 69 h 16 m | Show | |
Arizona State's defense has really turned things around the last few weeks, holding Utah to just 10 points and Washington to just seven. The Sun Devils have covered four straight (all as dogs). Meanwhile, Southern Cal took a whipping in its annual game with Notre Dame. The Irish punished the Trojans, beating them 49-14. The Trojans now 1-7 ATS on the season. The Trojans still lead the PAC-12 south over these Sun Devils (3-1). So this is a big game for the home team to get back in the conference lead. Sun Devils have done well on their home turf, posting a 10-3 ATS mark the last 13. Take the points here against the underachieving Trojans. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Washington State -3 v. Arizona | 37-58 | Loss | -107 | 68 h 47 m | Show | |
This game pits the passing of No 16 Washington State against the rushing of Arizona. Arizona QB Khilil Tate is an exciting player, rushing for 694 yards and 11 TD's in just his last three games. A win here today and the team becomes bowl eligible. In their way, top 25 team in WSU. The 7-1 Cougars are a excellent defensive team, third nationally against the pass, 7th in total defense and 21st in scoring defense. Arizona just 6-15 ATS their last 21 games and 5-11 ATS on grass. The Washington State highly ranked defense will give Tate all kinds of problems in this one. I'm taking the Cougars as my PAC 12 Game of the Year. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Old Dominion v. North Texas -11 | 38-45 | Loss | -110 | 65 h 59 m | Show | |
I'm taking a big leap of faith here with a North Texas team that allowed over 800 yards of offense last week. Yes, 800 yards. In NTU defense, they played a Florida Atlantic team that had the prior week off and was playing their homecoming game. I think NTU will be looking to put a pasting on someone after they were embarrassed last week. The victim? How about Old Dominion. Play North Texas who can easily hang a 50 spot on the scoreboard. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Florida Atlantic -7 v. Western Kentucky | 42-28 | Win | 100 | 63 h 58 m | Show | |
Revenge minded Florida Atl had this one circled on its calendar after the 52-3 embarrassment last year. New coaching staff this year, but the players still remember the whopping they took. HC Lane Kifflin is 3-0 both SU and ATS in conference play with FAU. Last week FAU put a pasting on North Texas, 69-31, gaining over 800 yards in the process. Western Ky without their top QB has just gotten by much inferior competition in recent weeks. WKY is also a very one dimensional team, all pass, no rush. WKY is last in the nation in rushing with just 81 yards per game on the ground. I look for Kifflin to shut down the WKY pass attack and that is bad news for the home club. Take Florida Atlantic. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | UCLA v. Washington -17 | 23-44 | Win | 100 | 62 h 10 m | Show | |
Washington had last week off to prepare for this contest. UCLA beat a down Oregon team last week to improve to 2-2 in the PAC-12. Still, UCLA has yet to cover on the road this season. Washington is 6-1 overall and 3-0 at home. Huskies are 4-3 ATS compared to UCLA at 2-5 ATS. Both teams average well over 30ppg, however, the Bruins allowing 36.7 ppg while Washington allows just 10.6. With the UCLA problems on the road, I don't see them coming close to their scoring average. Lay the points with Washington. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Kansas State -23.5 v. Kansas | 30-20 | Loss | -110 | 62 h 37 m | Show | |
The Kansas Jayhawks offense has been pathetic, grabbing just nine first downs and 136 yards in the last two weeks. Jayhawks outscored 88-0 in those two games to Iowa State and TCU. Not good news for the Hawks playing their instate rivals today. Kansas State coming off a tough loss to Oklahoma, 42-35. K State is 17-5 ATS the last 22 meetings in this series and 4-0 in the last four at Kansas. Can Kansas get shutout three straight? Possible. Play the Kansas State Wildcats. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Louisville v. Wake Forest +3 | 32-42 | Win | 100 | 59 h 54 m | Show | |
Louisville is 5-3 overall and 2-3 in ACC play coming into this game. Wake is 4-3 overall and 1-3 in conference. The clubs have met just once in Winston-Salem, with the Cardinals winning 20-19. Louisville just 2-6 ATS on the season and outscoring opponents 37-29. Wake is 4-2-1 ATS and averaging 29.7 while allowing 19.7. Wake usually keeps these contests (all four) low scoring, with all four going UNDER the total. If they can keep it low again, Wake will cover. Play Wake Forest. |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Wisconsin -26 v. Illinois | 24-10 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 23 m | Show | |
Wisconsin brings its perfect 7-0 record to Illinois today. The Badgers are averaging 36.6 ppg while allowing just 13.3. Illinois just 2-5 on the season and has lost five straight games. Badgers also 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 conference games and 8-0 ATS in their last eight road games. Illini just 2-8 ATS at home last 10 and 1-4 ATS the last five in this series. Don't look for Illinois to stay close here. Play Wisconsin. |
|||||||
10-26-17 | Mavs v. Grizzlies -8 | 91-96 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 41 m | Show | |
Dallas still looking for its first win of the season after an 0-4 start. The Mavs have been getting outscored by an averae of 14.3ppg. Dallas also 0-4 against the spread. Memphis has yet to lose after a 3-0 start both S/U and ATS. The Grizzlies are averaging 104ppg and allowing just 94 ppg. This is the kind of game that the Grizzlies will need to win if they want to endure this long season. This is a down Dallas team that shouldn't have much of a chance here. We just need Memphis to not look past this club. Play the Grizzlies. |
|||||||
10-26-17 | Toledo -24.5 v. Ball State | 58-17 | Win | 100 | 18 h 35 m | Show | |
Ball State has a poor offense, ranked 107th in the country. Compare this to Toledo, which is ranked 11th in offense with 506.9 ypg. Ball State still looking for its first win in conference play with a 0-3 record. Toledo is 3-0 in conference. Toledo is 6-1 overall compared to Ball State at 2-5. The Rockets are also 17-8-1 ATS their last 26 games after a straight up win. Cardinals just 3-11 ATS in conference an 16-35 ATS their last 51 home games. Toledo has too much offense for this Ball State club. Play Toledo. |
|||||||
10-26-17 | Eastern Michigan v. Northern Illinois -7 | 27-30 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 24 m | Show | |
Northern Illinois Huskies are 3-0 in conference play and 5-2 overall. The Huskies average 27.6 ppg at home this season. Eastern Michigan is 2-5 on the season and averaging 19.5 ppg. Both clubs have covered five of their seven games on the season. Huskies hold the edge in the series, going 6-2-1 ATS their last nine meetings with the Eagles. Favorite is also 6-2-1 ATS the last nine. NIU laying just a TD here is too much to pass on. Play Northern Illinois. |
|||||||
10-25-17 | Wizards -6 v. Lakers | 99-102 | Loss | -108 | 22 h 11 m | Show | |
The Washington Wizards are a perfect 3-0 S/U to start the season. They play at an LA Lakers team that is 1-2 both S/U and ATS this season. John Wall is leading the team with 24.3 ppg and 10 assists per game. The offense is ranked 7th in scoring (114.7 ppg) and 5th in free throw percentage (84.2). The Lakers really haven't been competitive yet, losing by 11, nine and eight points. Jordan Clarkson leads the team in scoring with 19.7 ppg. Rookie Lonzo Ball leads in assists (8.7) and rebounds (9.3). The Wizards have covered six of the last seven meetings in LA and the road team is 18-7-1 the last 26 in this series. Play Washington. |
|||||||
10-25-17 | Rockets -3 v. 76ers | 105-104 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 42 m | Show | |
Houston is 3-1 S/U and 2-2 ATS to start the season. The Rockets James Harden leads the team in scoring with 26.2 ppg. Harden also leads in assists (8.5). The Rockets are coming off their first loss of the season, a 90-98 setback at home against Memphis. Philadelphia is 1-3 S/U and 2/2 ATS. Ben Simmons leads the team in scoring (17 ppg), assists (7.0 apg) and rebounds (10.8 rbg). The Rockets have covered five of their last seven road games. Rockets only laying three on the road here looks like a gift to me. Play Houston. |
|||||||
10-24-17 | Knicks v. Celtics -8.5 | 89-110 | Win | 100 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
The NY Knicks are 0-2 to start the season both S/U and ATS. While the league is piling up the points, the Knicks are one of the lowest scoring teams in the NBA with just 95.5 ppg (28th). The problem is the defense is allowing 108 ppg. The star on this team is Kristaps Porzingis, who is averaging 32.0 ppg. After Porzingis, there just isn't much in the way of scoring. The Celtics got Kyrie Irving in the off season and it's paying dividends. Irving is leading the team in points (20), assists (5.7) and steals (2.7). Don't see the Knicks doing much at all this season and they better hope their big center doesn't get hurt. Take Boston tonight. |
|||||||
10-24-17 | Nets v. Magic -4 | Top | 121-125 | Push | 0 | 19 h 13 m | Show |
Magic off to a 2-1 record both S/U and ATS. The Magic have owned this series of late, going 5-1-1 ATS the last seven against the Nets. The home team has also had the edge here, going 4-0-1 ATS the last five meetings. Brooklyn is also 2-1 both SU and ATS. The Nets are first in the NBA in scoring (124.3) and third in field goals (48.3%). The defense hasn't been so good, ranked 29th (121.7 ppg). Orlando can also put up points, averaging 117 (5th) and 2nd from beyond the 3-pt arc (48.3%). I expect a shootout here, but I'm taking the home club in Orlando. |
|||||||
10-23-17 | Kings +1.5 v. Suns | 115-117 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 29 m | Show | |
The Phoenix Suns have been the worst team in the NBA to start the season. Not only is the club 0-3 both SU and ATS, but they were embarrassed at home in their opener to the Trailblazers, 124-76. In fact, that game was the fewest points the club has allowed thus far. Sacramento is 1-2 and coming off a lossa at Denver, 96-79. The club's lone win was at Dallas, 93-88. Unlike the Suns, the Kings have held two of their first three opponents to below 100. I really don't like this Suns club. They are horrible on defense and to even put them as a two-point favorite here is a mistake. Take Sacrmento. |
|||||||
10-23-17 | Redskins +4.5 v. Eagles | 24-34 | Loss | -105 | 122 h 55 m | Show | |
The Eagles improved to 5-1 last week, but a loss here could have them tied in the loss column with the Redskins. This is a rematch of the week 1 contest in Washington, a Philly win of 30-17. Carson Wentz passed for 307 yards in that opening week win with two TD's. The Eagles have the extra rest here, having played last Thursday at Carolina. Expect the Washington offense to be much better this meeting, as QB Kirk Cousins has had time to gel with his new receivers. The Skins may also get back All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, who has this game circled for his return. The Redskins have also covered 10 of their last 13 away games. Washington has also covered six of the last seven in this series and the dog is 5-2 ATS in this series the last seven. I believe this is a much improved Washington club and if Norman is back, all the better. Take the dog here, Washington. |

10-23-17 | Hornets v. Bucks -6.5 | 94-103 | Win | 100 | 20 h 28 m | Show | |
Wow is all you can say about Milwaukee guard Giannis Antetokounmpo. The star Bucks guard has scored at least 34 points in all three games thus far and chipped-in 44 in the Bucks win on Saturday over Portland, 113-110. The Bucks lead the NBA in field goal percentage (49.6) and are getting additional efforts from guard Tony Snell. The Hornets displayed oft-traveled center Dwight Howard at home, with the center scoring 20 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. Don't get too excited though, Howard has a way of going south quickly for his new teams, and there have been many. I really like this Antetokounmpo and the way the Bucks are playing. I'm taking the home club here on Monday with Milwaukee. |

10-22-17 | Falcons v. Patriots -3 | Top | 7-23 | Win | 100 | 98 h 2 m | Show |
Sunday Night Personal Elite : This is our rematch of the Super Bowl where the Falcons all but handed the trophy to New England. Patriots looking to re-establish their home field dominance they once had before a pair of losses this year. The Pats made a nice comeback win last week at the Jets (thanks in part to a blown replay). Don't count out the Pats though, their offense is still riding high and while the defense hasn't been good, they can still outscore teams. Expect this one to be a high scoring affair, but I'm taking Brady and Co to win it again. |

10-22-17 | Bengals +5.5 v. Steelers | 14-29 | Loss | -110 | 94 h 56 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh in possible letdown spot here after their big win over the 5-0 Chiefs last week. Marvin Lewis comes into this game with his Bengals 1.5 games back of the 1st place Steelers, making this a huge game for Cincinnati. The Bengals are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games, 4-0 ATS their last four road games and 9-2 ATS their last 11 on grass. I'm not convinced the win over the flat Chiefs last week will carry over to this game. I'm taking the points with a Bengals team that needs this game to climb back into the race. |

10-22-17 | Jets +3.5 v. Dolphins | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 91 h 31 m | Show | |
Power Parlay : The NY Jets really could have won last week at home against the Patriots if not for a controversial replay that took away a TD. Now they go from facing one of the best offenses to the worst in Miami, which is ranked 32nd with a 12 ppg average. The Dolphins are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 vs the division. The Jets have owned this series, going 16-5 ATS the last 21 meetings in Miami and 6-2 the last eight meetings overall. Jets hang close enough to win outright against a poor Miami offense. |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Cardinals +3.5 v. Rams | 0-33 | Loss | -115 | 90 h 27 m | Show | |
Both these West Coast teams travel across the pond to play in London. The 4-2 Rams rebounded from their Week 5 egg-laying contest against the Seahawks with a nice win last week at Jacksonville. This game will be for first place in the NFC West. The Cardinals got a big boost from little used Adrian Peterson. Peterson rode the pine in New Orleans and come over to Arizona where he promptly ran for two TD's and over 100 yards. The Cardinals defense will have its work cut out this week against the NFL's leading scoring team in the Rams (29.8 ppg). The Rams are just 3-10 ATS in their 13 games and 1-10-1 in their last 12 against the NFC. The Cardinals have covered six of the last eight in this series and I look for another one here on Sunday. Play Arizona. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Wyoming +14 v. Boise State | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 76 h 48 m | Show | |
Wyoming won the last meeting with Boise State, 30-28, so the Broncos likely have revenge on their minds. Boise could be in for a letdown here at home after their big win at San Diego State last week. Wyoming plays its second of back to back road games here. The Cowboys are 9-3 ATS their last 12 as a dog and 11-5 ATS their last 15 overall. Moreover, they are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Conference games. Surprisingly, Boise State is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 on their home blue turf. Wyoming getting two TD's here and they play well as the dog. I look for their future NFL QB to keep them close. Play Wyoming. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Wake Forest +4.5 v. Georgia Tech | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 21 m | Show | |
Wake Forest scared the defending National Champs two weeks ago losing 28-14. The Deacons got last week off to help prepare for this contest. WF has the nations 12th best defense in the country allowing just 16.7 ppg. The Deacons are 4-2 overall and 1-2 in conference play. Bot teams are covering well, with Wake at 4-1-1 ATS and Tech at 5-0 ATS. Both offenses are evenly matched while defensive not goes to the Deacons. Wake getting 4.5 points here and I think they can win outright. Take the points with Wake Forest. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Maryland v. Wisconsin -24 | 13-38 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show | |
This Big 10 matchup could get very ugly for the visitor. Maryland has to be road weary, playing their third game in four on the road. The defense took a pounding at the hands of Ohio State's running backs last week. Won't get any easier for the Terps against a Wisconsin team that likes to pound the ball on the ground too. Wisconsin is outscoring their opponents by a 119-24 margin in the 2nd half of games. The Terps allow 36.5 ppg and that all means Wisconsin is in for a big day of scoring. Take Wisconsin in a blowout. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Iowa State +7.5 v. Texas Tech | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 14 h 46 m | Show | |
Iowa State has been scoring in bunches this year, averaging 36 ppg and scoring more than 40 points in four of their five games. ISU is also 4-1 ATS on the season. Texas Tech is also a high scoring offense, averaging 45 ppg and allowing 31ppg. Tech has a 3-1-1 ATS record. Iowa State's defense will have a much tougher time this week against a Red Raiders offense then they did last week in their home shutout of Kansas. The Cyclones getting a TD here with their offense is enough for me. This should be a very high scoring game with Iowa State hanging close. |
|||||||
10-20-17 | Colorado State -8 v. New Mexico | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Rams having to play their fourth road game in five weeks here and looking to avenge a loss to the Lobos last year, 49-31. Rams are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 conference games and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 overall. Rams have been the play in this series, going 4-0-1 ATS the last five meetings. Lobos were embarrassed last week by Fresno, 38-0. Two top ranked offenses here with CSU coming in 9th in the country and NMU at 57th. CSU has owned this series and I look for that to continue here on Friday. Play Colorado State. |
|||||||
10-19-17 | Clippers v. Lakers +5 | 108-92 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 58 m | Show | |
The Lakers hope to have their No 2 pick in the NBA draft, Lonzo Ball, ready to play tonight. Ball missed most of the preseason with an ankle injury but has plans to play tonight. The Clippers begin their era without guard Chris Paul. In fact, the Clipper lost three starters, Paul, JJ Redick and Jamal Crawford during the offseason. With the excitement of Ball playing for the Lakers, they may become a betting favorite again this year. The Clippers will have to adjust to their new players and with the club a 5 point favorite, I'm going to take the points here. Play the LAKERS. |
|||||||
10-19-17 | Chiefs -3 v. Raiders | 30-31 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 40 m | Show | |
The Chiefs fell from the ranks of the last unbeaten team last week as the Steelers beat them in Kansas City. The Raiders have struggled lately with QB Carr in and out of the lineup. Oakland has also had their issues with the Chiefs, with Oakland HC Jack Del Rio posting a 0-4 mark against the Chiefs. The Raiders offense revolves around Carr and as long as he isn't 100%, the Raiders offense won't be 100%. The Chiefs offense is very good with an improved rushing attack and more weapons at the receiving core. This year the visitors in the Thursday night game is 5-1! And the Chiefs have been a great road team, covering 14 of their last 17 away games. Raiders just 3-7 ATS on Thursday night. Chiefs have covered 11 of the last 14 meetings in Oakland and that's what I expect tonight. Take KC. |
|||||||
10-18-17 | Blazers -1.5 v. Suns | 124-76 | Win | 100 | 21 h 48 m | Show | |
Portland had a very good preseason, going 5-1 and scoring a league high 115.2 ppg. The Blazers will be without guard C.J. McCollum (Suspension) here on Wednesday as he serves his one-game suspension. The Blazers are led by Damian Lillard, who averaged 25 points per game each of the last two years. Portland has stated they intend to start the season fast after recent years where they got off to terrible starts. The Suns finished the preseason with a 2-3 record an averaged 107 points and allowed 110. Early in the season I like to lean towards teams that have to change recent events. The Blazers know the value of a good start and I see their preseason success carrying over to tonight. Play Portland. |
|||||||
10-17-17 | Rockets +9.5 v. Warriors | 122-121 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
Warriors begin their defense of the NBA Championship. Usually a lot of distractions for the defending Champions in their first home game. You have the ring ceremony and the raising the of the Championship banner. All that tends to be a distraction for the game. The Rockets coming off a great preseason whre they led the NBA in net rating, outscoring opponents by 21.9 points per 100 possessions. They also were 2nd in offensive rating and 3rd in defense. James Harden coming off an excellent season where he led the NBA in assists and also did the same in the preseason. Chris Paul is the new addition this season and while he missed some preseason games, he's expect to play tonight. What can you say about the Warriors, they are loaded again this year and should once again be Champions. But that doesn't mean they will cover every game and tonight I just see too many distractions for them to be concerned with the game itself. Take HOUSTON. |
|||||||
10-17-17 | Celtics +3.5 v. Cavs | 99-102 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show | |
The season hasn't even begun and the Cavaliers are dealing with key injuries. PG Isaiah Thomas (hip) is out and star forward Lebron James is questionable with a ankle injury. There are new faces to this Cavs team including Dwayne Wade, Derrick Rose and Jae Crowder. Wade averaged 11.5 ppg during the preseason. The Celtics were 4-0 in preseason and will showcase new talent in forward Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving formerly of the Cavs. The Cavs could have a formidable starting lineup with Rose, Wade, James, Crowder and Love. The Celtics should content this year too if they remain healthy. I'll take the points here with the Celtics and see if they can keep their momentum from the preseason. Take Boston |
|||||||
10-16-17 | Colts +7.5 v. Titans | Top | 22-36 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
Colts come into tonight with an 11-game win streak vs the Titans and a 9-1-1 ATS mark the last 11. We may not see either team's starting QB as Andrew Luck and Marcus Mariota are both hurting. Look for the Titans to try and control the ball with their running game of DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry. Surprisingly, even without Luck, the Colts are just one game back in the AFC South. I have to side with coaching in this one and I give a big edge to Colts Chuck Pagano over the Titans Mike Mularkey. Pagano has handled his situation much better and has his team ready to play. Take the points here with the Colts who can win outright. |
|||||||
10-15-17 | Giants v. Broncos -11.5 | Top | 23-10 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 14 m | Show |
NFL Blowout Game of the Year: Things have gone from bad to worse for the NY Giants. Adding injury to insult, the Giants are now 0-5 on the season after losing at home to the Chargers, 27-22. The Giants lost their two top three receivers to season-ending surgeries, with Brandon Marshall, Dwayne Harris and Odell Beckham Jr all done for the year. The Giants don't have a rushing game to fall back on, as they have averaged just 77.8 ypg. Now they have to travel to Denver and face the "NO Fly Zone" defense of the Broncos. This game could get really ugly for New York and early. This is a game I want everyone down on early with the 4-1 Broncos. Denver will have to play their next three on the road, so this game has a lot of meaning for them to get to 5-1. I don't see any way the Giants put up even double digits here. I'll gladly lay the points with the Broncos |
|||||||
10-14-17 | UCLA v. Arizona +2 | 30-47 | Win | 100 | 54 h 42 m | Show | |
The UCLA Bruins are giving up tons of yards, 506 per game to be exact. So any good new? Nope, just gets worse as they now face Arizona's Khalil Tate who just set an FBS rushing mark with 327 yards. The Bruins have a QB in Rosen, but he's had his share of turnover this year too. Problem here is that the Bruins may not see the ball much if they can't stop Tate. The Bruins haven't done well ATS lately either, going 1-6 ATS their last seven games. Arizona should be able to control this game with Tate running the ball against a very poor Bruins defense. Play Arizona. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | UTSA v. North Texas +2.5 | 26-29 | Win | 100 | 52 h 49 m | Show | |
Late Inner Circle : North Texas was off last week and enters this contest as the home dog. NTU was beat by UTSA last year, 31-17. NTU QB Mason Fine had a great game in the loss to the Road Runners last year, completing 27-of-38 passes. Now he has an improved rushing game behind him and better receivers. North Texas had a week off to prepare for this contest and I like that. My play here is the home dog in North Texas with the extra week of rest. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Houston -13.5 v. Tulsa | 17-45 | Loss | -110 | 49 h 43 m | Show | |
Conference USA Game of the Month: Tulsa is dealing with major injury issues on defense. To make matters worse, Tulsa can't keep their defense off the field as they have lost time of possession in their last three games (42:21, 39:38, 43:38). Tulsa's offense ins't much better, ranking in the bottom 10 of the nation in passing offense. Houston has been a very good bet on the road, going 20-6-1 in their last 27 away games. I don't see how Tulsa will be able to keep anyone from controlling the ball, the game and scoring lots of points. Lay the price with the road club here, Houston. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Navy +3.5 v. Memphis | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 48 h 27 m | Show | |
2017 College Football Game of the Year : Memphis has revenge factor here, but that didn't help them last year. Navy has scored 87 points against the Tigers the last two seasons, covering the spread by 48 combined points. Midshipmen averaging 412 yards per game rushing (No 2 nation) and will face a Memphis team playing shorthanded on defense with injuries. Navy is 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 conference games, 5-1 ATS in their last six overall away games. Memphis just 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games. Getting points here with a Navy team I fully expect to win outright is what puts me on this as my NCAA Game of the Year. They have the wrong favorite and we win for it. Play Navy. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Connecticut v. Temple -9.5 | 28-24 | Loss | -122 | 45 h 45 m | Show | |
Early Inner Circle. If you have been playing Temple the last two years then you have been making money. The Owls have the best in-conference ATS record in the nation during that time (17-4 ATS) and are 2-1 this year. On the other side of that coin are the Huskies, who have one of the worst spread records in the nation at 14-40-1 ATS their last 55 games. Moreover, on the road, U Conn is a horrible 6-22-1 ATS their last 29. Temple has covered 10 of the last 11 in this series and I don't see anything changing here today. Play Temple. |
|||||||
10-12-17 | Eagles v. Panthers -3 | 28-23 | Loss | -115 | 79 h 5 m | Show | |
Thursday Game of the Month : A pair of 4-1 teams clash under the lights here on Thursday Night. The Eagles had a dominating performance last Sunday at home against the Cardinals, 34-7. QB Carson Wentz had 4 TD's, 21 of 30 passing for 304 yards and 1 INT. In addition, RB LeGarette Blunt rushed for 74 yards. The Panthers are off their win at Detroit, 27-24. That was two impressive wins in a row for Carolina after beating New England two weeks ago, 33-30. The one knock against the Eagles has been their road play, going just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 away games. The favorite has covered four straight in this series. This should be an excellent contest, but I'm sticking with the Panthers here on Thursday. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Chiefs v. Texans +1.5 | 42-34 | Loss | -110 | 128 h 54 m | Show | |
Houston and Kansas City will play below the lights on Sunday Night Football. The Texans exploded offensively last week, beating the Titans 57-14. Rookie QB Deshaun Watson brokeout in a big way, tossing 4 TD's and 1 rushing TD. DeAndre Hopkins had one TD and over 100 yards receiving. This was the most points by a Texans team in franchise history. The Chiefs will be on a bit of a shorter week after having played Monday night against the Redskins. No matter how the Chiefs come out on Monday Night, they will have their hands full with a Texans team that is playing great on both sides of the ball. Take the home team here, play Houston. |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Jets +1.5 v. Browns | 17-14 | Win | 100 | 100 h 43 m | Show | |
The much maligned NY Jets are quietly now 2-2 on the season, same as the Patriots. Despite being written off by most experts, this club has been very scrappy. The Cleveland Browns have some talent this year, but they sure aren't playing like it. The Club has just one win in their last 19 games under Hue Jackson and are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games. QB DeShone Kizer has the lowest QB rating of any signal caller and has nine turnovers. One might ask why get involved with two such bad teams. Well, I don't think the Jets are all that bad, and they sure aren't playing like it. Take the Jets here on Sunday. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Kansas State +3.5 v. Texas | 34-40 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 38 m | Show | |
Big 12 Game of the Year: Have to always peek ahead and see who these teams play next and what do we see? Texas has their Red River Rivalry up next and in this spot they are just 1-7 ATS prior to that game with Oklahoma. This game should be a defensive struggle as the Cats allow just 286 yards per game thus far and Longhorns allowing just 3.3 rush yards per attempt. What I do like most here is the KSt rushing attack, which has ground out over 200 yards in three straight contests against the Longhorns. In addition, KSt is 19-6 ATS as an away dog, the spot they like most. I'm taking the points here today with the visitor. Play Kansas State. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Colorado State v. Utah State +8 | 27-14 | Loss | -106 | 75 h 59 m | Show | |
The CSU Rams in a tough spot here. The Rams played in Hawaii last week and now travel again to play at Utah State. Granted, the Aggies of Utah State are moving up in competition this week after home games against San Jose State and BYU. Utah State will have to contend with a very good QB in Nick Stevens, who has put up big points in games already. The home team has won the last four in this series and is 4-1 ATS the last five. With CSU playing its third straight road contest, we feel this is just too much after a long trip to Hawaii. Take Utah State. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Kent State v. Northern Illinois -23.5 | 3-24 | Loss | -110 | 74 h 59 m | Show | |
Homecoming here for Northern Illinois, so the faithful will be in mass for a big win. NIU has dominated this foe, going 9-0 S/U and 7-2 ATS the last nine meetings. NIU also has the big edge on both offense (ranked 70th) vs Kent State (#126) and on defense (#51 vs #99). Both teams coming off losses, though NIU should have won outright against San Diego State. Lay the points here with NIU in a blowout win. |
|||||||
10-05-17 | Louisville v. NC State +4.5 | 25-39 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
NC State has rebounded nicely from their opening day loss to South Carolina with four straight win, including their shocking win at Florida State, 27-21. The offense has been amazing, committing ZERO turnovers during their win streak. NC State also has payback on their minds after last year's embarrassing loss to the Cardinals, 54-13. Revenge is best served cold and it's going to be very cold for the Cardinals tonight in Carolina. Take NC State. |
|||||||
10-03-17 | Twins v. Yankees -1.5 | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 27 h 35 m | Show | |
The Yankees had to settle for a Wild Card spot after falling two games short of the Red Sox for the AL East title. The Yankees finished with the best run differential in the AL at +198, a full 81 runs better than the Sox. Luis Severino has earned the right to start this Wild Card game. Severino had an excellent season, posting a stellar 14-6 record with a 2.98 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. Meanwhile, the Twins were an unlikely participant this year in the postseason. The Twins finished 2nd, 17 games back of 1st place Cleveland. Ervin Santana will try and shock the Yankees here tonight. Santana was 16-8 this season with a 3.28 ERA and 1.13 ERA. The Twins are 0-5 in their last five road playoff games. The Yanks are 13-3 in their last 16 at home and today I'll lay the 1.5 runs with the Yankees |
