Taking the BILLS. No Mahomes. Or a concussion Mahomes. Don't think it makes a difference. We will buy more Buffalo if we somehow start getting some points here. But as I said last week taking the Bills, this team is good. Underrated defense. A more than solid offense. A quality HC. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the PACKERS. Maybe this line comes down a bit more. Everyone loving the Brady story. He got his payback over the Saints last week. Now it is time for Rodgers to get his. Bad game in Tampa. I don't see Rodgers throwing 3 INTs this afternoon. Not happening. GB can run the ball. And we know they can pass it. The defense can get after Brady a bit. Not worried about Tom in this weather. But, it is Green Bay late January and Tampa is the road team. Everything went right last week in the New Orleans dome. Rodgers is the MVP this season. He shows it here. 8* Sure Shot GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking NEW ORLEANS. I didn't like Tampa last week, and not liking them here. I don't see the revenge angle here. 34-23 in Week 1. 38-3 Week 9. Brady has had some problems to say the least vs New Orleans. 2 TD in Week 1 2 INTs. 3 INTs 0 TDs in Week 9. The Saints defense is the real deal. 5* Best Bet NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

Taking the BROWNS. Cashed these guys last week. Granted, we got some turnovers that always help the cause. But lets face it. That was a huge monkey for Cleveland to get off their shoulders. 28-0 vs Big Brother and then cruise control the rest of the game. Baker with 14TDs 1 INT run. Efficient. Chubb and Hunt. I think they can do enough to keep Mahomes off the field and leave the back-door, and 1 score margin open. I look for Hunt to get some extra attention vs his old team. Looking for some props for him. Look- I know Reid is an absolute BEAST with extra prep time and bye weeks. But, we the regulars looking at nearly 2 weeks of rest, I am buying into rust. How about 0-7-1 ATS run for KC last 8. 7 wins and all by 6 points or less. Now laying double digits. I'll take my shot on the dog here. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the BILLS. Everyone on the Ravens. And yes, they have been playing very well. But this Buffalo team is awfully good. The money poured in on Baltimore early, then shot up late here on the Bills Mafia. This defense is good. The offense is as good or better. This QB can run. This isn't one QB making a difference with his legs. Give me Bills by at least a touchdown. 10* Money Bomb BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the PACKERS. Already on the Under 46.5 here, we go with the home team. Rams in the cold. I dunno. Not buying Goff, who has a 5TD 7INTs when the weather turns chilly. Chilly thumb might act up a bit. Rodgers having an epic season and looks like he is going to try to close out an MVP Season with a Super Bowl Trophy.  Edge defense to Rams for sure, but GB offense should be able to cover this number. 8* Sure Shot GREEN BAY PACKERS

Taking ALABAMA. So I lost with both of these guys on Friday. I am still not sold on Ohio State defense. I don't think anything can slow down the Tide but themselves. If you watched Alabama play at all this year, you can sit there and think they aren't 2 TDs better than any time? So they didn't run it up vs ND. To me, it seemed like they were going through the motions most of the time. Now- I didn't think OSU would lay the wood to Clemson. I thought they had something to prove in their own right. Maybe the loss of that offensive coach really set them back. Can't dwell on it - time to move on. OSU with a huge chip on their shoulder, probably the number 11. That being said, I still don't think the should be in the playoffs. The win, I will swallow a huge bitter pill. But this Tide team is just too much on offense. The total is in the mid-70s for a reason. I am just shocked this game isn't double digits. I mean, 22-10 grinder vs Northwestern. 42-35 Indiana. 49-27 Rutgers. 38-25 Penn State. PSU was 0-5 before it ran off a bunch of wins over 2 win teams. And lastly, let's not forget that big hit Fields took. He'll be feeling that a day later for sure. Eye test people. Think of what you have seen out of this Alabama team all year. I'd lay 10 and feel extra comfortable. 10* Money Bomb ALABAMA 

Taking the BROWNS. Everyone down on the Cleveland. I will be buying at this price. No coaches. More Covid. I am in! As long as we have our RB's, I thin we win this thing. Look. Steelers started 11-0 and faltered down the stretch. I am not buying into this team. Especially with an inflated line. If Browns can get almost 200 yards on the ground tonight, we should be looking at an upset. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the TITANS. I am just not sold on the Ravens this season. Tennessee can control things with the run game. The QB can, as we saw late Sunday, make key plays. The defense, ok. - leaves a lot to be desired. But getting points at home, we will ride the home dog. I get it. Revenge Game for Baltimore. Double revenge in fact. They lost last year's playoff game 28-12. Then, thinking payback, Tennessee got them again 30-24. Everyone saying NO WAY Titans win again over Harbaugh's guy. Outright Dog 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking the RAMS. We have the HC edge here. Rams 5-2 SU vs Seattle and should be 6-1 if they didn't miss a last second FG. I get being worried about Goff and his thumb. But this is a defense first team. And honestly, the backup didn't look that bad vs Arizona. Getting points, with this defense, sign me up. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking the BILLS. I think these guys can give the Chiefs a run. The offense is just absolutely rolling right now. Dome team outside, in Buffalo in January. What can possibly go wrong? Under-rated defense. An MVP in the making at QB. Coach of the Year most likely. I don't think Indy keeps up. 8* Sure Shot BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking CAROLINA. I get a nice live dog QB at home this afternoon. Saints already clinched the South. Scoreboard watching GB and Seattle. Seattle and Saints both looking for a GB trip up to get home field. Possible for GB to lose at Chicago. Yes, any given Sunday is the saying I believe. Extra rest for visitors off that Minny beatdown on Christmas Day. New HC will demand a full 60 minutes from his guys. And depending how things go, NO might be pulling guys for a little breather in the 2nd half. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS 

Taking the NINERS. Oh these guys buried me last Saturday vs Arizona. Here I think they are mailing it in, and they come out full of piss and vinegar. Safe to say, they are not dead on the year. Last game and I am sure they will bring it. Especially against Seattle. And they get Seattle off a tough game vs the Rams. Division clinched for Seattle. This is also a spot depending on other games we can see the Seahawks pull some guys. I think SF controls this game from the opening kickoff. 5* Best Bet SF 49ers 

4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS

4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS

Taking the BROWNS. Going  big with a SURE SHOT play here. Little brother vs Big brother and if they could have beat the pathetic Jets last week. I like this HC. You know I am sitting on COY futures even though I think the guy up in Buffalo has it in the bag now. What I do think we see is Pitt pull some guys in the second half for sure. I see 10s starting to pop up here. That would mean we get a full game of back-ups. Cleveland wins, and they are in the Playoffs. We know they can run the ball. They will have WRs back. And Pitt, again, they HAVE to rest guys. Their bye week was way back in Week 4. I can't see them going all game - not happening. 8* Sure Shot CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the COWBOYS. Leave it to this franchise to lose its QB, and instead of going into the tank after a brutal run, they win games and go from a Top 10 pick to possibly 19th. The offense will score enough to pull this one out. Giants D has carried them. Total down a bit and I still like it a bit. But I think the Cowboys pull this out. Their defense looked decent last week and I think they can stymie the GMen here on the road. The pass rush has been rapidly improving. Gimpy Jones behind an underwhelming line. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the BILLS. I know Miami is playing for their Playoff lives. But I will take the home team in this spot. Not banking on rookie Tua coming through. This is still a tough defense. A tough place to play. And, yeah, Bills could be sitting some guys. But I have seen Barkley come in at QB and do a couple things. Bills in middle of a huge dream season. Not ending it with loss at home to a division rival.  4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking ATLANTA. Nothing for Tampa to play for. Brady probably on bench at halftime or sooner. Falcons will show some pride after blowing big lead at home a couple weeks ago. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking A&M. I thought this team should have made the Playoff over Ohio State. After OSU gets trucked by Clemson and Bama wins by 30 over ND, you will hear that losing to good teams isn't bad. Except when you are 1 loss A&M. NC lost a bunch of offense to bowl opt-outs. 2 thousand yard rushers 28 TDs, Out. Leading receiver, 1000 yards 8 TDs Out. I'm all for next guy up. But next RB up has 121 yards on 80 rushes - oh its the QB. Yikes. The TAM comments alone make me think they will try to run it up. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS A&M

Taking CLEMSON. Not a chance that Ohio State slows down the Tigers. You should know by now that I don't even think OSU belongs in this game, or even sniffing the playoffs. Clemson / Alabama Championship game awaits. Buckeyes defense will have zero answers tonight. 5* Best Bet CLEMSON TIGERS 

Taking ALABAMA. Part of me wanted Ohio State here so we can all make fun of the Big 10 when the Tide put up 60+ on them and beat them by 45. But, we get another laugher as Notre Dame gets the 4 spot based on beating a team they just got dominated by with a backup QB. Irish do not have the horses to run with Alabama. I lost with Bama in the SEC Championship, but I think that is really a blessing. Now the Tide have been in a close game. They won't call the dogs off when they get up as Florida was fighting back the entire time. Is ND keeping Alabama under 50? Blowout. 5* Best Bet ALABAMA 

Taking GEORGIA here. So, yeah. This game opened up and I was like, oh, Cincy for sure. I like the defense. A solid group. But the Georgia defense can more than hold its own. They gave up about 20ppg. But Florida and Alabama put up 44/41 on them. The best offense Cincy faced, UCF, put up 33. I think it is safe to say the 2 SEC teams are slightly better. I just don't think Cincy can score here. They haven't faced a defense like this. Bulldogs have some key opt outs for sure. But this is Georgia. They don't rebuild, they reload. Big talent gap here. This is a near-home game for Georgia. I think they deliver big time. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA BULLDOGS 

Taking SAN JOSE STATE. Wish I had this at a smaller price as the line keeps climbing. But that makes sense. Ball State RB opts out who lead them in yards + TDs in just 3 games The defense ranks nearly at the bottom (121) defending the pass. Sparty QB an efficient 16-4 TD/INT and 9ypp average. 61% completion and he should carve these guys up with his 20th ranked passing O. HC will be focused on completely the undefeated season. SJSU should win this by about 2 TDs. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE STATE 

Taking TULSA. Hey Hey. Armed Forces Bowl -Look at us. We play in the SEC. Oh nice. Yeah. Come to our bowl. Who cares you are 3-7. Your coach is a great quote with a great named, 'Air Raid' offense. Tulsa all day for me. Only losses on the year. Opening game at Oklahoma State 16-7 and a FG loss in AAC Championship Game to Cincy. Both those teams would be favorites over this slop of a team from Starksville. Nothing better than your smaller brother beating up big brother. 8* Sure Shot TULSA 

Taking OKLAHOMA. You have seen me write many a time I have Trask Heisman Futures, and Florida SEC Future. Well light those on fire. 2 straight losses and those are garbage. What do the Gators get for losing to LSU and Alabama. No playoff and a Cotton Bowl visit. Who knows who will be opting out for the Gators. What I do know is that this defense can be scored on. Sooners can score. Oklahoma probably wins this one. I will sprinkle ML. Let's be honest here. Big 12 had a better defensive year than the SEC. Looks like they flipped their scripts. If Georgia scored 28 against these guys when they didn't even have a QB, what is this Sooner offense going to put up? 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS 

Taking COLORADO. Would have loved to have grabbed the early 12 on this game. Plenty of Texas opt-outs bringing this line down. I want to know how excited Texas is about being in the Alamo Bowl for the 2nd straight year. Granted, Colorado in off a loss. But they have a new coach and players who are excited to be here. As mentioned above, 5 Longhorn Captains have opted out. That's a big loss. Give me the dog here. 4* Money Maker COLORADO 

4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA STATE 

Taking the TITANS. Gonna grab the dog here. Packers having trouble covering lately, albeit a bit of a bigger number than this. We might have some snow coming. It should be cold. I will ride this beast of a RB to the ticket window. GB always has trouble against a power run game. Tennessee brings it like a Mack truck. Might sprinkle some ML. Titans 10-3-1 to the Over but GB on a 7-4 Under run. Tough call for me on the total. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking the RAMS. Seattle with no answers for LA. Rams with straight up wins in 6 of the last 7 and the loss was 30-29, wide right with 15 seconds left after Greg The Leg hit his first 3 FGs of the game. Besides that. We have the better team. No question in my mind. Defense a clear edge. Rams know they just need to win these last 2 games. Well, would have been nice if they took care of the winless Jets last week for us. Heck. I can't tell you what I lost live betting them when they went to even money to win after cutting lead to 23-10. Brutal. Anyway. So - in off a horrible loss. A game they didn't show up for in the first half. They take care of business here like they always do. 5* Best Bet LA RAMS 

Taking COLTS. So the look ahead was Pitt -3. An over reaction after losing to Bengals? Maybe- Look. Steelers defense missing some pieces. Their run game has been brutal, 54.5 ypg last few weeks. Big Ben with 5 picks last 4 games. A miserable 5.5 yards per pass attempt. 3rd straight short week game for Pitt. 12 straight weeks of games. An offense that has scored 19-17-15-17 the last 4 weeks Maybe Big Ben's elbow is feeling the age after an injury. On the other side of the field, Rivers seems in sync with his new team. Taylor + Hilton have been solid weapons for the offense. Defense not terrible. Road warriors get the call. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

4* Money Maker COASTAL CAROLINA 

Taking ARIZONA. We cashed the Cowboys ML last week over SF. It's over. 10 months ago, you had a lead in the Super Bowl. Now, you are playing out the string and guaranteed last place in the NFC West. Can't practice or play games in your own area. Zero motivation now as Niners have dropped 3 straight. Coach said they will be home with their families for the holidays. Last I checked Christmas Eve/Christmas is Thursday/Friday. This is a Saturday afternoon game. Yeah. These guys will be roaring to go. Arizona still fighting for their playoff lives. Arizona played these guys tough when SF was at the top of their game. Now they are down. Home team blowout. 10* Money Bomb ARIZONA CARDINALS 

Taking WKU with a little ML sprinkle. Small Play on the better defense. 4* Money Maker WESTERN KENTUCKY

Taking HAWAII. Fading away Houston here. In fact, lets sprinkle some +300 ML here on the Rainbows. Cougars with at least 15-20 guys not suiting up here. 3 of them, your sack leader, tackle leader and a pretty explosive WR, helps our dogs cause. I think the lack of games for Houston, they have played once since mid-November hurts them. They have had some extended bouts of Covid Cancels. I'm grabbing the Rainbows and pinning faith on their backfield to land some haymakers against a weakened defense. 5* Best Bet HAWAII 

4* Money Maker GEORGIA SOUTHERN 

Taking BYU. Only loss that blemish at Coastal. Travel mid week to face another undefeated team in a crazy season. No shine of the luster in my eyes. Another big travel here down to Boca. But BYU is a program that will be proud to go 11-1 when some teams played 5 games. Defense the big edge here for me. UCF is a pretty good offensive unit. But the defense won't be able to slow down the road team. 8* Sure Shot BYU 

Laying it with APP STATE. Every loss on the season for them, well, that team was playing in conference championship game the other day. North Texas gives up 40ppg. App allows less than 20. In 2017 NT lost its bowl game 50-30 to Troy, 2018 52-13 to Utah State. 2019- No Bowl game. Not because they were banned for giving up 50 in back to back losses, no, they were 4-8. Give me App State to run Mean Green out of the South Carolina. 5* Best Bet APPALACHIAN STATE 

Taking the CHIEFS. These guys have buried us the last couple weeks getting backdoored. But I will again try to cash a ticket on KC. I do like the Saints defense. But I can't see them slowing down the KC offense enough for them to make it a game. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

Taking the RAMS. I'm not afraid of laying 17 here. I would lay 20. Since 2012, 17pt faves are 9-2 ATS in the NFL. Do you have faith in the Jets to hang here? They are getting beat on the road by an average of 22ppg. They got crushed by Seattle last week. Then flew home, to fly back to LA. Great planning. You don't think this Rams defense is licking it chops to fly at this offense? How about the offense against this defense? Are you going to be shocked when its 34-9? 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking the FALCONS. This line was 1.5 last week. Now up to 6. Give me the home dogs. 4-4 since a coaching change. Better morale, defense playing better. And we are suppose to be high on Tampa? Minny did everything to lose last week and they lost. Everyone will be saying, Brady just has to win by a touch-down. Well, Brady has 11 INTs on the year. I might even go a little ML here on the home dogs. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the VIKINGS. Again, with a look ahead line. It was Minny -6, not, a FG. And why? Because Minny lost by 12 - or should we say, Dan Bailey, at one time the most accurate kicker in history (now 12th!) missed 3 FG and a PAT. And the Bears, who the Vikes undressed in Prime Time their first meeting, found an offense against a rudderless Texans team? No way. Not buying at all. Give me the Zim at home. Bears 3-9 ATS last 12 on the road. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking ALABAMA. It would be great to cash my Gator SEC Future and the my Trask Heisman. But let's be honest here. This Bama team is steam-rolling people. Florida has slowed some bad SEC teams. They will have zero answers tonight. Alabama will put up 50 because that is what it does. I don't think Gators keep it within 20. 8* Sure Shot ALABAMA - this line has moved to 17.. I would lay 20. 

Taking STANFORD. So, Stanford final game of the year. And we have UCLA in off that USC disaster. Safe to say that Bruins will be flatter than a pancake for this one. Leading the entire game until the final 16 seconds. Even your QB says it hurts. Stanford 10-2 ATS vs UCLA last 12. 5* Best Bet STANFORD 

4* Money Maker SAN JOSE STATE 

Taking NORTHWESTERN. I am not a fan of Ohio State. I think it's a joke the Big 10 changed their rules so these guys can get into the Conference Championship. I think it will be a fitting end to the way the Big 10 ran their season if Northwestern wins outright. OSU just needs to win to get into the CFB. So we can toss out them running things up if it gets out of hand. They don't need style points. I'll take my shot with a big dog here. 4* Money Maker NORTHWESTERN 

Taking A&M. Real simple thinking for me here. Aggies on the outside looking in sitting at #4. We know that at least 1 team ahead of them will be taking a loss. Their lone L is to #1 Alabama. This is the game they need to drop a 40+ spot for some extra style points. No way they can let the Vols come anywhere near them. Aggies defense should keep Tennessee under 10 points. If this game isn't 40-6 heading into the 4th quarter, I would really be shocked. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS A&M 

Taking RUTGERS. I know this is Rutgers, I live in Jersey, but come on. Nebraska shouldn't be laying to anyone at this point. Send in the clowns. Losing at home to a Minny team that left 30 something guys off the travel roster. Rutgers if anything, is feisty. Give me the home dog with something to prove. They do get mauled by top Big 10 teams. But Cornhuskers far from that level of play. 4* Money Maker RUTGERS 

Taking UAB here. What is wrong with this picture? We have Marshall, a team that has allowed 20 points to a team, ONCE, all season, not even favored by a TD? And, they gave up 20 while turning the ball over 6 times. That was their last game out vs Rice. A team UAB beat 21-16 with just 42 scholarship players. Maybe the line is down based on limited guys traveling for the Blazers. I am not sold on this Thundering Herd defense though. There are a couple down programs on the schedule. Think we have a live dog tonight. 4* Money Maker UAB 

Taking the BROWNS. So yeah. Probably a little bias from me sitting on Stefanski COY tickets that will net be a few thousand and a Baker Comeback POY that will put another nickel in my pocket. That being said, there is a reason I made those bets! Stefanski has changed this team around. They are good! The OL is solid. The defense is solid. The QB doesn't have to force things to happen and make mistakes. He has a pair of RBs that can carry the team all game if need be. Now the Ravens. So I am writing this Monday before they even face Dallas. But as I take Dallas Tuesday I say - what have the Ravens looked like lately? The offense looks average. I think the league has caught up to Lamar. Much like when the offense was run in SF by Kap, the OC has yet to make adjustments. We had Cleveland in the first meeting and we were swamped. Look for some payback Let's go all the way to Romeo Crennal and 2007 for a 10 win season. Sitting at 9-3, playoffs still not locked in place. What better way to reach double digits and bury a division rival. 5* Best Bet CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the BILLS. What have we seen out of the Steelers the last few weeks that they should be favored here? I am writing this as Steelers lead 17-10 over the Redskins Monday and the Bills haven't taken the field. This Bills offense is improved. The defense is solid. No matter the outcome Monday night, Buffalo will be pumped to play Pitt. They aren't undefeated, but this team still has some goals it can be proud of. They hit 10 wins for the first time in 19 years last year. They string some Ws together and you are in 12, 13 win territory with some Super Bowl bound teams. As much as I hate Pitt, cause I do, I really like their HC. But the guy on Bills side of the field has a lot of respect from me also. Something tells me the weird pushing games back finally nips the Steelers heels tonight. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the PACKERS. I'll lay this road number. I'm not being scared off by a half point. I think this game is a shoot-out Will also be on the OVER 55. I think Packers put up 40+. Rodgers should be in the MVP hunt. Guy will have 40 TDs after today's game. I get the Mahomes love, but come on. We know Rodgers does it with nothing like the KC offense has weapon wise. Lions going to Lion. We had them as our Free Pick video last Sunday and they delivered after firing their pathetic coach. But, it was a real battle and we need some Bears misery by Trubisky to pull that baby out. Detroit's win streak comes to an end in abrupt fashion. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking the JAGUARS. I get that the Titans in off a loss and need a win. But are they really this big a favorite? We have seen Jax put up 24-25 the last 2 weeks against possible 2 playoff teams. We toss out the Tyler Luton game vs the Steelers, again, a pretty decent team, and the Jags add scoring of 20-25-29. This Titans defense isn't some juggernaut. Jags even at 1-11, are fighting every game. Too many points to pass up here. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 

Taking the CHIEFS. Lost with these guys last week. Should have been a near 20pt win. But it was just a fat loser. On to the new week. KC has not looked sharp offensively the last 2 weeks. Add not showing up for basically the 2nd half Tampa and the Chiefs are looking a little bland. I like the Dolphins. I like their coach. But I think this game will be a huge home dog public play. Especially with that half point looming. For me, when I see that I am running to the favorite. I think KC puts up 30 here. I think Miami offense is struggling right now. Should be a double digit win for the road warriors. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

Taking the GIANTS. I can't stand the NYG. This team looks terrible half the time. But, the defense. The defense gives this guys a chance every game. I have been waiting for them to collapse from the weight of near misses. It has not yet occurred. I don't think it will now, especially off a big road win. My dumb butt was on Seattle even before the QB news. NYG defense will shut down the Murray. HC Kliffy was totally schooled by our 10* Rams + McVay play. Judge has proven to be a good HC in his short time. Edge HC. Huge edge defense. Home getting points. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker NY GIANTS 

Taking the VIKINGS. So, I have a nice future on Minny Under Wins - But I will grab the points here. Minny just plays close games. 12 games on the year. Here are some final margins of 8 of them. 1-2-1-6-6-1-3-3 If we take out the 1st two games of the year, we have a 10 games of them in every game. Heck, their bad loss at Atlanta was basically 3 Cousins INTs. Bottom line, after getting a hang of their new OC, Minny has been tough. Where the heck does Tampa get off laying this kind of number vs a team that can score? Or really any half -way decent team. Brady looks bad at times in games. I don't have faith in their defense to have a meaningful back-door stop. Everyone will be on Tampa saying, Oh, Brady just needs to win by a TD.. over Cousins. Sign me up. Wrong. This game will be close, maybe we steal it, maybe its just a FG loss. Give me the road team. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

4* Money Maker GEORGIA

Taking the RAMS. December football. Time to separate the men from the boys. And the Rams are the men. Kudos for The Hoodie doing a great job with this patchwork team from NE. Pounding the Chargers and their HC (hello, I hate Lynn but still took them Sunday) doesn't really do it for me. You have a coach who coach on the other sidelines today. 13-3 Super Bowl revenge ready for the taking. For me though - the defense. We cashed Rams last week as our GOW and again due to huge edge on DL and CB. We got a pair of guys who are absolute game changers. The offense is much better than the Pats. Don't let that 40 spot fool you. This New England offense has sputtered vs real teams. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking DALLAS. This is tough for me. As a fan, I want these guys to flame out so they get a Top 5-10 draft pick. Also as a fan, I think they can still run the table and win the division. As a bettor, I am taking any points from Baltimore. Let's not be fooled by what we saw vs Pitt (we had the Steelers). This Ravens team has been sputtering for sometime on offense. Maybe a leaky Dallas D is what they need. Who knows who is their QB this week? A 3rd stringer? Again, the Dallas offense should be able to put some kind of points up. When will it happen, who knows. This is just a lot of points to give a rested team vs a team that let it all hang out when the world was against them Wednesday afternoon. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

same write up from Sunday -- Taking the REDSKINS. Give me this Washington team getting double digits. They can play some defense. I have said that every time I have backed them this season. I like the coach. And again, the defense can play with anyone. Alex Smith is a hero coming back from his leg injury. If the offense can put some points up, this is a team to be taken seriously. We know Pitt plays down sometimes. Now they are in uncharted waters with a Tuesday game. So a super short week. Undefeated or not, Washington in the hunt for the NFC East crown and won't be overlooking or taking the Steelers lightly. Maybe the undefeated season weight is too much. I find it a tragedy that Denver had to suit up Sunday, while the Ravens get a free pass after free pass from the commish. I hope someone on the Pitt defense breaks Lamars leg Tuesday night. They will be more focused taking out that rival then Washington, non-conference opponent coming to town. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON

Taking the CHIEFS. I'll lay anything less than 17 here. Denver, no matter who is behind center, has trouble getting into the end zone. KC cruised to an early lead and coasted to a win vs Tampa last week. Division game. Rivalry. Statement game to let the league know the best team still resided in the AFC West. 2 road games up next. Give the fans a nice 44-10 win. 5* Best  Bet KC CHIEFS 

Taking SEATTLE. Doing this before the Monday nighter. I just can't see NYG keeping Wilson under wraps. That's it. Fade the Giants. This NYG team has been playing with fire all season. Just look at their games the last 2 months. I mean, to the wire. 19-17 at Cincy, 23-20 at Washington, 25-23 Tampa, 22-21 at Philly, 20-19 vs Washington, 37-34 at Dallas, 17-9 at Rams with late INT. Ok. so you tell me they will cover since they play it close. I see a team that is sitting 4-7, first place or not, literally in coin flips. That has to take a toll on guys. Nothing easy. I get they have Seattle in a short week here. Win, and this line probably ticks up - Lose, and I think it ticks up. Seattle has the Rams on their heels win or lose. Arizona lurking. Russ at home gets the nod for me. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the RAMS. What is going on with Arizona? No home field edge here. Take away that Hail-Mary vs the Bills and you have 4 straight home losses. Now 2 straight losses, 17ppg. Couldn't score in NE. Sitting at 6-5 with SF on their heels at 5-6. 7-3 Rams in off loss to said Niners. But, Rams with 6 straight wins over Arizona, 5-0-1 ATS. Rams with McVay. 21-10 SU, 19-12 ATS on the road, plus 14-7 SU 13-8 ATS vs division. 4 TO's doomed LAR last week. I expect a crisp offense this afternoon. And defensively for us, we have the 2 best guys on the field. On the line with Donald, in the secondary with Ramsey. 10* Money Bomb LA RAMS 

Taking the TEXANS. Again these guys are home dogs. We saw them take care of New England 2 weeks ago. They had a nice game against the Lions. Three wins their last 4 games. The loss was that crazy 10-7 loss in Cleveland. And we saw the Browns play 3 weather games in a row that could have went any which way. Now- I am high on Indy. I have an Over win ticket I am looking at. But, let's look at the last few weeks. Titans ran all over Sunday. They rallied over GB and needed a fumble to pull out a home win. We had them in their win over Tennessee on Thursday night. We faded them the week before vs Baltimore. Texans opened vs KC, Baltimore and Pitt. Who is not going 0-3 there? They lost to GB. An OT road loss vs the Titans. Getting points, have to take this team. Better than their record. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON TEXANS 

Taking the FALCONS. We had them 2 weeks ago and they got rolled up by New Orleans. We will jump right back on them as home dogs here. I have not been impressed with Hill at QB for NO. You do have to tip your cap to the Saints defense though. This looks like a pretty good unit right now. Falcons put up over 40 last week for us. We had ATL and the Under so we were happy. I saw a stat that short-revenge (2-3weeks) teams that lost the first, came back to go 19-4 83% in game 2. Nice trend to have on our side. This is the 2nd of 3 straight road games for New Orleans. A trip to Philly up next. So they get a practice squad WR at QB to start, and the mess in Philly to finish a 3 gamer. Falcons playing for pride at this point. And contracts! Like their HC Morris who is looking to prove something to other teams. Team has responded under him so far, and the defense getting 5 TOs vs the Raiders, they should be playing with added confidence. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking UTAH. No place but down to go for Beavers after upset over in-state rival Oregon. QB injury not a great sign either. Something about an 0-2 team laying points to a 2-2 and winners of 2 straight makes me all the more interested. Give me the desperate Utes here at home. 4* Money Maker UTAH 

Taking ALABAMA. Going to lay it. Will be on Bama first half also. Need to run up these scores in the Covid playoff era people. Never know what could creep up. Healthy teams need to really impress. We saw Clemson fall without their QB - he gets back, and they beat the game total on their own. Tide will score 50 here. I can't see LSU getting to 20. 4*  Money Maker ALABAMA

Taking CLEMSON. Looks like the Tigers are back in a big way with their top QB under center. Never in doubt last week crushing Pitt. Expecting more of the same in this spot. 4* Money Maker CLEMSON TIGERS 

4* Money Maker STANFORD

Taking FLORIDA. Hoping my Trask Heisman continues to improve vs a bad Vols team. Also sitting on Gators to win SEC. Either way, still a need a big win as Gators need to jump A&M in rankings as I write this up Sunday afternoon. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA GATORS

Same write up from Sunday -- Same write up as Thanksgiving when I had Pitt -2 . Taking the STEELERS. I sorta liked Titans on Sunday but stayed away. Not sure why. Everything I thought about the Ravens seems to be coming true. The Greg Roman offense is not a surprise to league defenses anymore. We saw Kap dominate and then be terrible. We saw Lamar dominate, and now he is not terrible, but the play has dropped off. Now they face the Steelers who just seem to grind away every week. Short home fave on a short week. Ravens in off a real physical loss to Tennessee. A Titans team you know they wanted to beat for playoff revenge from last season. Now they are staring at Pitt team that may be eyeing an undefeated season. 4* Money Maker PITT STEELERS  * Added. If the Steelers don't come out and not injury Ravens players on purpose, I will be shocked. They are going to take out every bit of frustration on these saps. You don't think they feel like this a personal attack on them. And they get screwed playing Tuesday while Baltimore gets Monday. Another short week? Oh heck no. If this game isn't a 20+ point win I will be shocked. *

Taking SEATTLE. Extra rest off their Thursday night victory, we will fade Philly. We were on Eagles last week. I have no clue why. I am sitting on Browns HC of Year tickets so why am backing Philly, who, since their Super Bowl win (behind Nick Foles, Not Carson Wentz) 22-22-1 SU! Seattle beat these guys twice last year and 8 of the last 9 times they played, 0-6 ATS in recent meeting. If we are saying Wilson is playing 'bad' lately 7 INTs - what is Wentz playing? 40 sacks - 14 INTs - 9 lost fumbles. Philly has yet to score 30 this season 1-4-1 SU when not playing the NFC East. If this was a normal home-dog where a bunch of Philly fans were acting the fool, maybe we can rally around the home team. Not a chance in this atmosphere. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the PACKERS. This should be an easy double digit win. We have GB in off OT loss to Colts. Bad enough to lose on a fumble to start the OT. But blowing a double digit lead is also bad. Full focus A-Aron tonight in Prime Time. Packers the #3 scoring offense while Bears can't score 16ppg. I don't care who is QBing tonight, it won't matter for Chicago. 5-5 with 5 straight losses. They could be 0-10! Final possession games vs Carolina and Giants. Rallied from double digit deficits against the Lions and Falcons. And the Tampa Bay Thursday night game. This team is an absolute fraud. Saints at 8-2. Rams and Seattle at 7-3. Tampa at 7-4, Arizona 6-4. GB needs to continue winning for playoff implications. 10* Money Bomb GREEN BAY PACKERS 

Taking the CHIEFS. I will put what I put in my write up last Sunday vs the Raiders - well, minus the bye week stats. This was heading into that Sunday Night game. Andy Reid is 17-1 SU 15-3 ATS run when Andy has Mahomes under center. This is being written before that game ends, and before Tampa takes the field Monday night. 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS

Taking the BILLS. Chargers a nice story with their rookie QB. But their HC has got to go. Why I really like this game. A couple reason. Right off the bat, early start on East Coast. Poor HC who makes terrible in game adjusts. Weather could be a factor. LA, Buffalo. Totally different elements end of November. Buffalo has a pretty good defense. The offense is pretty darn good too. I can't believe we are getting this at less than a touchdown. Maybe its too good to be true. We will rate it a best bet instead of money bomb, but in the end, we are still collecting. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the FALCONS. These guys let us down last weekend for sure. But I expect a bounce back here as home dogs. HC Quinn gone - we saw them go 6-2 the 2nd half of last season. They already have been playing much better under Morris. So the Falcons lost to a division rival. But the Raiders really had their hearts ripped out in their division showdown. They were home, in prime time, and collapsed late. Tough to get up off the mat after that one. Now cross country for an early start game. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking ARIZONA. This will probably be a square play by the time Sunday rolls around. But you have to feel good about the Cards. We got extra rest. We have Murray healing up a bit. We know they have been in all their games. Zero quit. I know we are at a disadvantage in the HC department. NE 4-6, but could be 6-4. Well, Arizona is 6-4, they could be 8-2. If Cam gets in vs Seattle and if they don't fumble. If Arizona scored in this spot, but its a FG by Detroit. Look. All teams have coulda, woulda, shouldas. I know one thing. Arizona has scored 30 in 6 straight before losing 28-21 on Thursday. I can't see NE slowing them down enough to remain in striking distance. They couldn't do it last week vs Texans. Running up the field against the Jets, does that count? Give me the upstarts. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS 

Taking the TITANS. Man I wanted to take these guys last week. Not sure why I backed off. Left a lot of money on the table. We will grab them here though. We had Colts Thursday night when they first met, we will take the road team again. Both teams in off OT wins. Colts defense is a tough unit. Rivals know each other well. This is a huge game as Indy can take a 2 game lead in division, or Titans knot it up again. Indy 20-4 SU last 24 in the series, 16-8 ATS. I just think this screams FG goal game by whoever has ball last. 4* Money Maker TENN TITANS 

Taking A&M. Tigers blasted these guys LY putting up a 50 spot, 50-7. Jimbo and friends will beat a team they are suppose to beat. And make no mistake about it - They will beat LSU pretty good. 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&M

Taking ALABAMA. So Nick has Covid, again. It won't matter. This line continues to climb. You that high on Bo Picks, I mean Nix? Guy has 10 TD passes on the year 6 in two games, 3 vs LSU + Kentucky. You impressed by that? The same LSU that gave up 44 to Miss Statea and 45 to Missouri? Or Kentucky who just lost 63-3 to this Alabama team? How about that offensive explosion of 6 points vs Georgia? Alabama will put up about 50 today. They should win by about 30. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA 

4* Money Maker SMU

Taking DALLAS. We had the Cowboys on Sunday and will come back with them here on Thanksgiving. As bad as this season has gone for Dallas, I still think it has talent. The defense is bad, no argument. But I don't think Washington is capable of really exploiting it. On the flip side, we will be jumping on the under here as well. I have always like the Redskins defense and their HC. But at this price, we will grab the home team. A little momentum off a road win. Short week helps them even though it is a division rival. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Money Maker TB BUCS

Taking the CHIEFS. I will be honest. I was thinking, yeah, I'll grab the Raiders here as a nice home dog. But then reality smacked me in my giant head. Hello. Andy Reid off bye week where he is 25-6 SU and 21-10 ATS. Not too shabby. Let's add a tidy 17-1 SU 15-3 ATS run when Andy has Mahomes under center. Add a dash of revenge from a 40-32 home loss as the icing on this winning ticket. 8* Sure Shot KC CHIEFS

Taking the COWBOYS. Grabbing the ugliness. I don't care who is starting for Dallas. This is more a fade of Minny. I am not sold on this team at all. It is Cook and that's it. Short week off a big win over the Bears. Give me a rested bunch really desperate for something good to happen. Too much talent on the offense not to keep this game close. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the FALCONS. Oh Atlanta. 2nd year in a row you know I had these guys to win the South and Matty Ryan MVP tickets. 2nd year in a row up in flames a month into the season. But the silver lining is they finally canned their HC! yippie. Since that coaching change, the Falcons are a Gurley slide away from a perfect 4-0 record. In this spot, the line has come down with the Brees injury. I will tell you this. I would have been on the Falcons anyway. Off their bye week, they won here last year 26-9. Atlanta a nice 7-1 ATS run as dogs their last 8. Nearly went ML +170 here. Side note. I like Winston. I think this will be a nice fit for him cause I can't see Brees coming back. But do we really trust him in this spot? 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

Taking OREGON. Will lay the big number here. Not scared of UCLA. Yeah, nice little game last week beating up on Cal. But I will take that one with a grain of salt. I think Ducks roll here. Oregon is -5 in turnovers and still 2-0 on the year. They haven't played a crisp game yet and are still averaging nearly 40ppg. Short rest for UCLA who again, beat Cal early on Sunday. 10* Money Bomb OREGON DUCKS   

Taking NORTHWESTERN. Why do I feel this will end up being a big public dog and we get buried in this spot? Well. Let's roll the dice baby. We have 4 games under our belts. We have played some close ones and pulled out wins. We have a solid, experienced QB on our side. Wiscy comes in with a freshman QB vs a tough defense. Only 2 games played so far for the Badgers. OK. 94-18 in their 2 wins. But Illinois was just listed as a road dog to Rutgers. Michigan looks to be in the bad to awful range this season. What can you tell from those games? I can tell you right off the bat - inflated line, for one. So that helps as NW has covered 3 straight in the series. 15-9-1 ATS run for the dogs here with 11 outright wins. Let's go 'Cats. 4* Money Maker NORTHWESTERN

Taking PENN STATE. I am not buying PSU is dead in the water. If this team was quitting, it would have been last week when down 3 TDs at half-time. Down 27-6 they ended up losing 30-23. That 2nd half rally included a missed a FG and twice turning it over on downs inside the red-zone. Give me the angry, winless home team playing for some pride. 4* Money Maker PENN STATE 

4* Money Maker OHIO STATE

Taking FLORIDA. Had these guys last week, will do it again and look for another huge offensive output. And why not. Yes we are in on Trask Heisman futures. You know that already from the other games we backed the Gators. You know we are Florida to win the SEC in our futures. Look. Vandy is not sniffing a win here short of something catastrophic occurring. Trask will throw 6 TDs by half time. This total is 68 for a reason - Gators will be approaching 60 themselves. No time to let up in this season. The team knows it. The coach and QB know it. Every game matters. Every stat matters. If you don't think the HC QB and this team knows it has the Heisman leader right now, you are crazy. No taking the foot off the pedal for Florida. 5* Best Bet FLORIDA GATORS

Taking SEATTLE. Now. You know I haven't been buying the Seahawks at all this season. We cashed our 10* last week on the Rams. We did have the Over in the Arizona game. Speaking of the Cards, you know we have an Arizona NFC West future along with a Murray MVP future. Also a Seattle to win the NFC so there's the disclaimers. But in this game, we go desperate home team. Off a division loss. Cards come in riding high off miracle Hail-Mary win. Short week, young QB and coach. Probably some points to be scored. The Over will be our Free Pick Video here on Thursday. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
