10-25-21 | Blazers v. Clippers -3 | Top | 86-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
Portland at L.A. Clippers 10:40 ET Clippers (-) over Trailblazers- The Clippers without Kawhi Leonard have yet to post a win this season having lost to the Warriors and Grizzlies while Portland posted a huge win for us (Money Game) Saturday night over Phoenix. This is the first road game of the season for the Trailblazers and they lead the NBA in scoring after two games averaging 127.5 points and are ranked No. 2 in FG percentage (all at home). Portland is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings and 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings in Los Angeles. Take the CLIPPERS! |

10-24-21 | Warriors v. Kings +3.5 | Top | 119-107 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
Golden State at Sacramento 9:00 ET Kings (+) over Warriors- A matchup of the two top NBA 3-point shooters headline this battle of California teams as the Warriors Stephen Curry and Kings Buddy Hield both have made 10 long distance shots in their two games. Both clubs are 1-1 ATS bit Golden State is 2-0 SU and are scoring 118 points per contest. Sacramento takes pride in defeating the Warriors and are 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings including 4-0 in the last four at home. The Kings are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games when underdogs and the beat goes on...take SACRAMENTO! |

10-24-21 | Panthers v. Giants +3 | Top | 3-25 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
Carolina at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Panthers- The was 'Fade' when Sam Darnold played in New York with the Jets and this time he comes into the 'Big Apple' with Carolina and nothing has changes as the word once again is...FADE! After a quick 3-0 start against weak opponents the Panthers have lost three straight with Darnold's performances getting worse week by week. Now, on to the crippled Giants who after lack luster losses to Dallas and the Rams are hearing it more from the media than Ben Simmons is in Philadelphia. Surprisingly enough when checking the stats we find that New York is better on offense than the Panthers although their defense has fallen off last season's pace and Carolina is better on that side of the ball. A key clog for the Panthers is still missing as Christian McCaffrey is still out of action and that cripples their offense more than the Big Blue injuries. Take the GIANTS |

10-23-21 | NC State v. Miami-FL +3.5 | Top | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 30 h 36 m | Show |
N.C. State at Miami-Fl 7:30 ET Hurricanes (+) over Wolfpack- My oh my...when I first saw this game on the Hurricanes schedule I was certain that I would be backing N.C. State especially after the way they started the season with the Wolfpack blowing out South Florida 45-0 and defeating Clemson 27-21 while Miami was crushed by Alabama and barely got by Appalachian State. But, the Canes although in a losing effort impressed me last week in their last at North Carolina and though they are just 2-4 on the season they are vastly improved from what I saw early in the year. Second year freshman Tyler Van Dyke has gotten better game by game and Miami is 6-2 Ats after allowing 40 or more points in their precious game. NC State is just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games, 1-6 ATS as road favorites and 7-15 ATS after a SU win. Take MIAMI-FL! |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Heat v. Pacers +4.5 | Top | 91-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show |
Miami at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Heat- Miami opened the season with revenge win over the defending NBA Champions Milwaukee Thursday as the routed the Bucks 137-95. The Pacers are 0-2 after dropped in pair of road games at Charlotte and an 2OT loss at Washington last night. Indiana was small favorites in both of those road games and now return to Indianapolis for their home opener and will be getting points once again and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games when underdogs. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Oklahoma State v. Iowa State -7 | Top | 21-24 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 37 m | Show |
Oklahoma State at Iowa State 3:30 ET Cyclones (-) over Cowboys- No. 8 Oklahoma State is undefeated (6-0) and just posted a huge (32-24) emotional win at Texas and this week the are a virtual touchdown underdog against unranked at Iowa State who has two losses. I may be getting sucked in here but the 'numbers' just don't add up and I trust the oddsmakers more than the pollsters. What bothers me more is that the Cowboys are 2907 ATS in their last 27 games as underdogs and 16-5 ATS against teams with winning records so it's obvious that they are the Rodney Dangerfield of college football getting 'no respect.' On the flip side the Cyclones are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and because this line seems so out of whack I will lay it. A 'Don't make sense' winner. Take IOWA STATE! |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Wake Forest v. Army +3 | Top | 70-56 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 44 m | Show |
Wake Forest at Army 12:00 ET Black Knights (+) over Demon Deacons- Undefeated (6-0) and ranked No. 15 Wake Forest travels to West Point and is only a 3-point favorite against a 4-2 Army squad that doesn't anything near the quality schedule of the Demon Deacons. Having played against the service academies while I was in college I know how tough they can be especially at home. The Army is 3-0 SU at home this season and is coming off a hard fought loss (20-14) at Wisconsin where they held their own against the bad boys in the Big Ten allowing the Badgers just 310 yards on offense. Wake Forest is off an OT win at Syracuse where they totaled just 338 yards on offense and were out-gained by the Orange by 88 yards. Look for the outright upset here. Take ARMY! |

10-19-21 | Astros v. Red Sox -125 | Top | 9-2 | Loss | -125 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
Houston at Boston 8:08 ET Red Sox over Astros- I've seen the Red Sox do it before...in 2004. When this team was down 3-1 in games to the Yankees and then their 'mojo' took over and they just kept winning right on to and through the World Series. After Boston's 12-3 mashing of the Astros Monday the 'Fly-boys' are trying to figure out a way to stifle the Sawx booming bats and will send Zack Greinke to the mound at Fenway Park tonight. But, that won't help as he has not had much postseason success going 4-6 with a 4.18 ERA in 20 games and he is 2-5 with an ERA of 5.09 lifetime against Boston and is 0-2 with a 10.22 ERA at Fenway Park. The Red Sox will start Nick Pivetta who is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA in the 2021 playoffs will be good enough to win here with his mates support. Take BOSTON! |

10-19-21 | Nets +1.5 v. Bucks | Top | 104-127 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 11 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Bucks- So to start the NBA season we the defending NBA Champions playing at home in a virtual Pick-em situation and in most circumstances that would seem a bit odd but the Bucks opponent here is the heralded Brooklyn Nets who have as much fire-power as any team in the NBA. The Nets of course will be without mental case Kyrie (Drama Queen) Irving who has fallen off one of the sides of the flat planet earth and believe it or not Brooklyn will better off without him as his playing ability which is immense is just not worth the constant distractions. The Bucks have had the best of the Nets but this is a fresh start to a new season. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Bills v. Titans +6 | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
Buffalo at Tennessee 8:15 ET Titans (+) over Bills- There is one thing that Tennessee can do right and that is run the ball with Derrick Henry has 640 yards and is looking for his fifth straight 100-yard game rushing. What they don't do so well is protect their quarterback Ryan Tannehill who has been sacked a league high 20 times this season. This week they face a Buffalo defense that leads the NFL in fewest points allowed per game with 12.8 and yards per game with 252 and takeaways with 15. The Bills offense has a claim to fame as they lead the league in scoring at 34.4 ppg as they average 410 ypg. The underdog is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings and the Titans are 7-2 ATS in their last nine Monday night games. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
10-18-21 | Astros v. Red Sox -114 | Top | 3-12 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
Houston at Boston 8:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- It doesn't matter to me who the starting pitchers are going to be as in today's state of the game in Major League baseball it is unlikely any of them will finish. That being said Houston will start Jose Urquidy (8-3, 3.62 ERA) who is making his first post start this year and his last three regular season outings he has surrendered nine runs in 16 1/3 innings allowing five home runs. That's not a good sign if you are taking the mound at Fenway Park against the Red Sox. The Astros are 1-5 in their last six road games (it's a lot different what you're not sure what pitch in coming) and the Red Sox are 7-0 in their last seven starts against right-handers and 6-0 in their last six home playoff games. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Cowboys v. Patriots +3.5 | Top | 35-29 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 42 m | Show |
Dallas at New England 4:25 ET Patriots (+) over Cowboys- Man of man have to Cowboys turned it around this season or what! The are 5-0 ATS (the only NFL that is) and have what seems like an unstoppable offense now that Dak Prescott is back leading the charge. They will need all of that and more against a Bill Belichick team that is young at quarterback but No. 5 in defense allowing just 317 yards per game and just 18.4 points. As good as Dallas has looked and played they are still just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games when favored while the Patriots are 10-2 ATS as home underdogs. Take NEW ENGLAND! |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Chargers v. Ravens -2.5 | Top | 6-34 | Win | 100 | 18 h 14 m | Show |
L.A. Chargers at Baltimore 1:00 ET Ravens (-) over Chargers- These two have common record of 4-1 and a pair play making quarterbacks that get it done with contrasting styles. Their offensive styles are drastically different as drop-back QB Justin Herbert exclusively uses his arm throwing for 1,576 yards and 13 TD passes while Lamar Jackson is probably the second best running back in the NFL behind Derrick Henry (the second coming of Jim Brown) and has an explosive style. Baltimore already has wins over a pair of AFC West opponents defeating Denver and Kansas City with their lone loss coming in OT against the raiders after blowing a 14-point fourth quarter lead. Chargers had a huge comeback win last week over the browns scoring 47 points but they are 8-20-1 ATS after scoring 30 points or more. Add they the Ravens are 5-1 as home favorites...take BALTIMORE! |
|||||||
10-16-21 | UCLA v. Washington -122 | Top | 24-17 | Loss | -122 | 27 h 56 m | Show |
UCLA at Washington 8:30 ET Huskies over Bruins- UCLA is averaging 434 yards per game on offense 225 of which they garner on the ground and 209 in the air. Washington doesn't run the ball as well in the past averaging only 117 ypg on the ground but put up 258 yards passing while ranking No. 3 against the pass allowing just 147 ypg. The Bruins defense is weak allowing 401 yards a game including 308 yards passing which plays into the Huskies strength. UCLA is 7-16-2 ATS in their last 25 games following a straight-up win and just 3-7 ATS on field turf. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the Huskies are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games after a SU loss. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Michigan State v. Indiana +4.5 | Top | 20-15 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 5 m | Show |
Michigan State at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- These two have switched positions this season as compared to last. Indiana was 6-2 last year and showed so much promise behind quarterback Michael Penix, Jr but have yet to score touchdown in a pair of Big Ten games against Penn State and Iowa while Michigan State after a horror show last year are 6-0 this time around and looking stronger every week. So, I ask you with Penix sidelined with a shoulder injury why is this line so inviting. The Spartans have won 10 of the last 12 meetings but were upended 24-0 at home last season by the Spartans. Jack Tuttle was 1-1 as a starter at QB last season for the Hoosiers and will be an improvement over the inaccurate throwing Penix. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
10-15-21 | Red Sox +127 v. Astros | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
Boston at Houston 8:07 ET Red Sox over Astros- Chris Sale who has been nothing short of terrible surrendering 10 earned runs in his last three starts covering 8.2 innings with an ERA of 10.98 so I fully expect him to shut down the Astros here. Now, I realize that both clubs will have major home field advantages as they BOTH will be aware of what pitches are coming when they are at the plate but, Sale can be difficult even if you know what is on its way. Sawx manager Alex Cora has been in the middle of sign stealing on both sides so may be able to counter Houston's shenanigans. Houston is slated to start Framber Valdez (0-0, 8.31 ERA) and he hasn't been any better than Sale. Take BOSTON! |

10-14-21 | Dodgers v. Giants -104 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -104 | 28 h 39 m | Show |
L.A. Dodgers at San Francisco 9:07 ET Giants over Dodgers- Both of these clubs have won 109 games and it comes down to the final in a Best-of-Five series to advance to the NLCS. The Dodgers have listed 21-game winner Julio Urias (2.93 ERA) as their starter against the Giants Logan Webb (12-3, 2.83) who shut down L.A. in 7.2 innings in the series opener. San Francisco earned the home field here by beating out the Da' Bums (formerly Brooklyn) by winning 54 of 83 home games. Webb just passes the eye test to me striking out 10 in the series opener. Take the GIANTS! |
|||||||
10-12-21 | Appalachian State v. UL-Lafayette +5 | Top | 13-41 | Win | 100 | 25 h 10 m | Show |
Appalachian State at UL Lafayette 7:30 ET Ragin' Cajuns (+) over Mountaineers- Great matchup between a pair of 4-1 clubs from the underrated Sun Belt Conference. App. State of course has more notoriety and their loss came at Miami-Fl 25-23 a game they could have won when the Hurricanes had a healthy D'Eriq King. A questionable pass interference gave Miami field position to the win otherwise they could be undefeated. Lafayette's lone loss came in their opener at Texas 38-18 and we have seen how good the Longhorns are. The Mountaineers are 5-11 ATS in their last b165n games as favorites and the underdogs in 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings while the Cajuns are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as underdogs. Take UL LAFAYETTE! |

10-12-21 | Astros v. White Sox -110 | Top | 10-1 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Houston at Chicago W.S. 3:37 ET White Sox over Astros- Home cooking has been the winning formula in this series as Chicago won 12-6 Sunday after the Astros had won the first two games at home. Houston will send Lance McCullers to the mound and his counterpart for the White Sox will be Carlos Rodon (13-8, 2.37) who saw less and less action after the All-star break because of arm fatigue and has pitched just eight innings since September 20. But, he is 2-0 with a 1.55 ERA in seven career starts against Houston and will go far enough in this one to get the win. Take WHITE SOX! |
|||||||
10-11-21 | Rays v. Red Sox -105 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Boston Red Sox 7:07 ET Red Sox over Rays- After losing Game 1 of this Best-of-five series the Red Sox have the 'Mojo' now and will close out this series tonight at Fenway Park. Boston will wear those 'chicken yellow' uniforms to honor those running the Boston Marathon and will start Eduardo Rodriguez who was knocked out of the series opener while allowing two runs in just 1.2 innings. The Rays will start ant of 11 pitchers that they will end up using as is what they do. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -3 | Top | 38-20 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
Buffalo at Kansas City 8:20 ET Chiefs (-) over Bills- I believe there has been an over-reaction to Buffalo and the 'public' will be loading up on the Bills in this one. Granted they have been far more impressive than Kansas City as Patrick Mahomes has thrown four interceptions with the Chiefs committing seven turnovers while the Bills lead the NFL with 11 takeaways and have the NFL's No. 1 defense allowing just 216.8 YPG. Of course they have played four of the worst offensive team in the league in Pittsburgh, Washington, Houston and Miami. Things will look different to them this week. Take KANSAS CITY! |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Astros v. White Sox -113 | Top | 6-12 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
Houston at Chicago White Sox 8:07 ET White Sox over Astros- It's do or die for Chicago after failing both games in Houston. The White Sox will start Dylan Cease (13-7, 3.91 ERA) who is 0-3 lifetime against Houston with an ERA of 6.60 in just 15 innings work. But, playoff action is a different ball game. The Astros will send Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30) to the hill and he haD a no decision in his lone start against Chicago throwing seven innings and allowing just one hit. But, this one goes to the WHITE SOX! |

10-09-21 | Michigan v. Nebraska +3 | Top | 32-29 | Push | 0 | 25 h 12 m | Show |
Michigan at Nebraska 7:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Wolverines- Both of these head coaches are under the gun this season as Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and Nebraska's Scott Frost have been disappointments are being pressured by alumni who are not happy with current state their programs. The Wolverines look much improved this season (5-0, 4-1 ATS) while then Cornhuskers (3-3, 4-1-1 ATS) have made positive strides although they have just split their first six games but are a positive 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Michigan meanwhile is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Big Ten matchups while the Huskers are 3-0-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take NEBRASKA! |

10-09-21 | Michigan State v. Rutgers +4.5 | Top | 31-13 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 11 m | Show |
Big Ten Vegas Hotline winner Michigan State at Rutgers 12:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Spartans- After a disappointing season last year Michigan State is 5-0 and 3-0-2 ATS and spirits are high in Lansing. But, looking close at the competition that they have played we can note that they have yet to win against a team with a winning record and in the past two weeks with wins over Nebraska and Western Kentucky they were out gained by 186 yards and 41 yards with the Hilltoppers matting 560 yards against them. Rutgers who is much improved under Greg Schiano was waylay-ed by Ohio State last week and will bounce back with a strong home performance here. Note that the Spartans are 5-15-1 in their last 21 conference game. Take RUTGERS! |

10-08-21 | Stanford v. Arizona State -12.5 | Top | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
Stanford at Arizona State 10:30 ET Sun Devils (-) over Cardinal- After defeating No. 3 Oregon last week 31-24 in overtime a huge PAC-12 upset the oddsmakers must believe that Stanford left in all on the field last week as they are almost two touchdown underdogs at Arizona State. The Sun Devils are looking for the third straight conference win and are averaging 444 YPG while holding opponents to 289 YPG and just 17.4 PPG while Stanford allows 406 yards and 26.8 points. This price is way out of whack as it appears the 'Bookies' are making it easy to take Stanford as they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games and the Sun Devils are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites. Lay it with ARIZONA STATE! |

10-08-21 | Dodgers -116 v. Giants | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -116 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
L.A. Dodgers at San Francisco 9:37 ET Dodgers over Giants- This matchup of MLB's best teams is bringing back lore of when these clubs were playing at the Polo Grounds and Ebbets Field. Both the Dodgers and Giants have now won 107 games this season and all eyes with be on this late starting battle in San Francisco. The Giants will start Logan Webb (11-3, 3.03 ERA) who hasn't lost since May 5 while Los Angeles will start Walker Buehler (16-4, 2.47) who is 7-1 lifetime with a 2.55 ERA against their bitter rivals. Webb is 1-2 with a 3.64 ERA in six career starts against the Dodgers. Although the Giants are 6-2 in the last eight meetings LA is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings at Oracle Park. Take the DODGERS! |

L.A. Rams and Seattle 8:20 ET Seahawks (+) over Rams- The 3-1 Rams are coming off a 37-20 home loss against Arizona as their top rated defense surrendered 465 yards to the Kyler Murray led Cardinals offense. Seattle now 2-2 rebounded after a pair of losses to beat the Niners 28-21 in San Francisco despite being out gained by 223 yards. Under Pete Carroll Seattle is 10-1 (8-1-2 ATS) on Thursday Nights including winning their last nine straight-up. The last time these two met Seattle lost to Los Angeles 30-20 in a home wild-card playoff loss at home. The Rams are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Hawks but Seattle is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as home underdogs but, just 2-9 ATS after a SU win. A tough call as the trends are a wash but take SEATTLE! |

10-07-21 | Red Sox +140 v. Rays | Top | 0-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
Boston at Tampa Bay 8:07 ET Red Sox over Rays- Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (10-6, 3.43 ERA) will start the series opener opposite Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (13-8, 4.74 ERA). McClanahan, 24, will be making his first playoff start after becoming the first pitcher ever to make his major league debut in the postseason last October for the Rays. He pitched to an 8.31 ERA in 4 1/3 innings over four relief appearances but McClanahan went 1-1 with a 2.81 ERA in three starts versus the Red Sox this season. The Red Sox are 3-10 in their last 13 games on astroturf and they are 4-12 in their last 16 games as road underdog. Tampa Bay is 45-17 in their last 62 home games and 10-4 in their last playoff games at home. But the Rays are 3-7 in their last 10 playoff games. Take BOSTON! |

Las Vegas at L.A. Chargers 8:15 ET Raiders over Chargers- There is just one undefeated AFC team remaining and it is the rejuvenated 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders who bring the NFL passing leader Derek Carr into SoFi Stadium for this MNF encounter. The Raiders rank No. 1 in total offense averaging 471 YPG lead by Carr's 379.7 passing YPG as he was name AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September. Justin Herbert the Chargers second year QB set a rookie record for TD passes last season with 31 and had four scoring throws last week against Kansas City. That being said the underdog is 18-6 ATS in the last 24 meetings and the Raiders are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Los Angeles. And as far as these offensive numbers are concerned these two team play polar opposites as the under is 16-4-1 in the last 21 meetings overall. Take CHARGERS! |

10-03-21 | Steelers +6 v. Packers | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 38 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Green Bay 4:25 ET Steelers (+) over Packers- So, I guess this is the beginning of the end of Ben Roethlisberger which he actually showed signs of in the final five games of 2020 as the Steelers are 3-7 in their last 10 games overall. Aaron Rodgers of course is considered the best 'passer' of the day and has recovered from a horrible opening week 38-3 loss to New Orleans and is back in top form. These two QB's met in Super Bowl XLV when Rogers won his only NFL Championship and named MVP. Despite what we've seen Big Ben is completing 64% of his passes and he will have the return of his top receiver Diontae Johnson and will be aided Najee Harris running the ball for the bottom ranked rushing team in the NFL. The Steelers are 24-8-2 ATS as dogs and 18-7-1 ATS as road dogs and the road team is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take PITTSBURGH! |

10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos +1 | Top | 23-7 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 36 m | Show |
Baltimore at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos (+) over Ravens- Yes the Broncos are 3-0 but as so many have pointed out none of their three opponents have yet to win a game and are 0-10. Baltimore is 2-1 losing their opener against the Raiders after blowing a 14-0 lead. The dueling quarterbacks here are of contrasting styles as the Ravens Lamar Jackson and Denver's Teddy Bridgewater get the jobs done differently. The Broncos defense is No. 2 allowing just 221.7 YPG while Baltimore rep for a stout dense has taken a hit surrendering 394 YPG having played against the NFL top offense in the Raiders. Although the Ravens are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight. Take DENVER! |

10-02-21 | Oregon v. Stanford +8 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 6 m | Show |
Oregon at Stanford 3:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Ducks- To my surprise this week I see that Oregon is the No. 3 ranked team in the country as the Ducks have reeled off four straight wins but maybe it is because they are just 1-3 ATS that they snuck up on the rankings or maybe it is because or the most part the PAC-12 is not highly regarded. Stanford (2-2) has been inconsistent losing to UCLA last week and Kansas State in their opener while defeating USC in LA and lowly Vanderbilt on the road. The Ducks have 13 takeaways and lead the nation including five interceptions last week against Arizona. I must note that the Ducks are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 7-16-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points in their previous game. The Cardinal are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six PAC-12 games and 5-2-1 ATS overall in their last eight. Take STANFORD! |

Cincinnati at Notre Dame 2:30 ET Bearcats over Fighting Irish- What bothers me here is how much attention this game is receiving from the betting public. Usually I like that, but so many aware of the situation, that being the Fighting Irish fantastic record as home underdogs winning 9-of-10 outright in that role and yet there is huge support for Cincinnati and so many would like to see a non Big-5 school make it to the FBS Final-Four and believe the Bearcats will be the first to break through that current barrier. The Bearcats have revenge on their minds as they last time they met ND won 58-0 nah, that was in 1900. Brian Kelly was Cincy's head man from 2007 to 2009. If a team gets 3-pts for home advantage for home filed and you do the math it would make the Cats a 9-pt favorite at home...Bookies dream...Take CINCINNATI! |

No. 5 Iowa has caught most of the conference attention as they have the No.3 best scoring defense in the country allowing just 11 PPG and lead the Big Ten with six interceptions. So, the strengths of both clubs will clash here and and Taulia will get the best of it as he has 10 TD passes and only one INT. The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and the Hawkeyes play great in September but when conference play starts in October they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven. Take MARYLAND! |

N.Y. Yankees at Toronto 7:10 ET Blue Jays over Yankees- With four games remaining Blue Jays are one-game behind Boston for the second wild card berth after breaking the Yankees seven-game winning streak last night and will send their winningest pitcher Robbie Rays (13-6, 2.68 ERA) to the mound against New York's oft injured Corey Kluber (5-3, 3.82). Rays who is 0-2 with a 5.59 ERA against the Yankees this season has 244 strikeouts in 188 innings and against the Bombers free swingers could have a good outing. Look for the Blue Jays bats to be the difference as both Bichette and Guerrero came to life last night. Take TORONTO! |

Milwaukee at St. Louis 7:45 ET Brewers over Cardinals- The Red Birds have run off 16 straight wins and will have their best in 40-year old Adam Wainwright (16-7, 3.05 ERA) on the mound in tonight contest against Milwaukee in St. Louis. He started the season 0-3 in April and is 16-4 since including 9-1 in his last 10 decisions and yet St. Louis is an underdog at home against the Brewers. The Brew Crew will start Brandon Woodruff (9-10, 2.52) who is 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA against the Cards this season and yet he is favored here as they have lost their last four meetings. Wainwright is 19-12 lifetime against the Brewers and yet is an underdog tonight. The Cardinals win streak according to the oddsmakers ends here. Take MILWAUKEE! |

09-27-21 | Eagles +3.5 v. Cowboys | Top | 21-41 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Dallas 8:20 ET Eagles (+) over Cowboys- Something has got to give here as Dallas leads the NFL in takeaways after two week with six and the Eagles have yet to turn the ball over. The Cowboys offense is averaging 435 YPG as Dak Prescott leading the way throwing for 306 YPG but their defense is ranked 29th allowing 420 YPG. Philadelphia's defense has been one of the toughest holding opponents to 283 YPG. Seven Eagles have been grounded with injuries or COVID issues and that won't help them on either side of the ball. The home team and favorites have dominated this series of late but Dallas is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take the EAGLES! |

Tampa Bay at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET Rams over Buccaneers- The game of the day has the two NFC favorites going at it in LA where Tom Brady will play for the first time in his career. Hollywood is just a deep pass away and that will probably be the GOAT's next stop but now before that the Rams will butt him around here. Tampa has a pair of home wins and will face a fierce Rams rush in their first road game along with a passing offense behind Matt Stafford averaging 291 passing yards. Take the RAMS! |

09-26-21 | Dolphins +4 v. Raiders | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Miami at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Dolphins (+) over Raiders- How 'bout dem Raiders' opening the season 2-0 with impressive wins over the Ravens and Steelers and are enjoying the limelight. Miami can't play much worse than last weeks 35-0 blowout loss to the Bills and will be without their injury prone QB Tagovailoa and will start journeyman Jacob Brissett who is 12-20 as an NFL starter. The 'price' here seems awful cheap and this leads me to believing the Dolphins will play tough and LV maybe caught napping. Take MIAMI! |

Baltimore at Detroit 1:05 ET Lions (+) over Ravens- The Ravens pulled off an unexpected upset win over KCSunday night with Lamar Jackson showing he is one of the best running backs in the NFL. The Lions hung tough in the first half against Green Bay showing they can more the ball. With the Ravens still banged-up and riding high on their victory I expect a small letdown and as the Lions roar at home. Take DETROIT! |

Kansas City at Detroit Royals over Tigers- A pair of also-rans who are playing out the string and are thinking more of playing golf than baseball will send two hot pitchers to the mound. Detroit's Wily Peralta (4-3, 3.04 ERA) has thrown 16 straight scoreless innings and his counterpart for the Royals Kris Bubic (5-6, 4.80) won his last start holding Seattle to one run and two hits in 6.1 innings. He has faced the tigers three times this season and is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA while Peralta is 0-1 against Kansas City. Take the ROYALS |

Nebraska at Michigan State 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Spartans- I saw the Spartans up front and personal last week at Miami in their 38-17 beatdown of the Hurricanes. Yes that seem impressive and they played a swell game but the Canes just can't compete against better competition. Nebraska is led at quarterback by fifth year senior Adrian Martinez who for the most part has been a disappointment for the Cornhuskers but is coming off a maturing game against the Sooners going 19-25 for 289 yards. Huskers are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss and 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games on grass and are 9-4-1 ATS as road underdogs. Spartans are 5-15n ATS in last 20 conference games and 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 games as hosts. Add that MSU is 1-101- ATS in last 12 as home favorites and Huskers are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |

N.Y. Yankees at Boston 7:10 ET Yankees over Red Sox- As scary as it seems it looks as though the Yankees have been laying in wait for Boston as this 3-game set will go a long way to determine who makes it into the playoffs. New York started the year 0-7 against the Red Sox and are now 7-3 in the last 10 meetings after Friday's 8-3 blowout win ( led 7-0 in the 3rd) breaking the Sawx 7-game win streak. The Yanks who have won their last four will start lefty Nestor Cortes (2-2, 2.79 ERA) has the second lowest ERA in the AL since his first appearance May 30th. Boston will start Nick Pivetta (9-7, 4.63) who hasn't won since August 13. Take NEW YORK YANKEES! |

N.Y. Yankees at Boston 7:10 ET Yankees over Red Sox- Fighting for a wild card berth these two biggest of rivals begin a 3-game set at Fenway Park where the Red Sox are 49-29 on the year. New York will start the American Leagues winningest pitcher in Gerrit Cole (15-8, 3.03 ERA) who is off his worst performance of the season surrendering 10 hits and seven runs in 5.2 innings losing to Cleveland 11-1. Boston who led the NL east for four months are now fighting for a wild card spot and have a 2-games lead over the Yankees for the final playoff spot and will send Nathan Eovaldi (10-8, 3.58) to the mound for the Sawx. The Yankees are 6-3 in the last nine meetings after starting the season 0-7 against their bitter rivals and are 1-7 in the last eight meetings in Boston. But the Red Sox have won their last seven games overall. Take NEW YORK! |

St. Louis at Milwaukee 7:40 ET Brewers over Cardinals- St. Louis has won 10 straight and 12-of-13 and now have a 4-games lead in the wild card chase. The Red Birds will send Miles Mikolas (1-2, 4.50 ERA) who earned his first victory in over two years last time out against the Padres. Milwaukee will hand Brett Anderson (4-8, 4.18) and the left-hander won his only start against the Cardinals this season back in April allowing only one run in five innings. Milwaukee is 10-4 as home favorites and 41-18 in their last 59 starts against a right-hander and I expect that trend to continue today. Take the BREWERS! |

L.A. Rams at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Rams- The Rams entered the season with the NFL's No. 1 defense and during the off season they added (as we all are aware) one of the league best passers in Matthew Stafford. Last week we all saw what they are capable of by outclassing the Bears on Sunday night dominating on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis wasn't as impressive with their 'new' quarterback as they only produced 336 yards on offense scoring only one touchdown when the game was competitive. The Rams are just 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records while the Colts are 9-1-1 ATS after a double digit home loss and Indy is 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with winning records. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Alabama at Florida 3:30 ET Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Can anyone play with Alabama? I'm serious about this, they look to be the most physical team (Maybe Georgia) that I've seen this season. Florida always has talent at the skilled positions and speed to boot. The Tide lost two linebackers last week and that might give the Gators an opening they hadn't thought of prior to their injuries. Florida coach Dan Mullen is 0-10 lifetime against Nick Saban coached teams but got the money last season in a 52-46 loss to the Tide. This is Alabama's first trip to Gainesville since 2011 and they are 1-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and the gators are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after an ATS loss. Take FLORIDA! |

San Diego at St. Louis 8:15 ET Cardinals over Padres- The Padres pitching staff is so beset with injuries that they picked up Vince Velasquez (3-6, 5.95 ERA) who was so bad that he was just released outright by Philadelphia (who need pitching them selves). St. Louis who is battling San Diego for the second wild card spot have won five straight and 7-of-8 and will send Miles Mikolas (0-2, 5.47) who is making a comeback from injury is 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA in three career starts against San Diego. The Pods ended a 5-game losing streak with a pair of wins over the Giants but fall short here. Take ST. LOUIS! |

St. Louis at N.Y. Mets 7:10 ET Mets over Cardinals- From where did they come from? The Cardinals seem to out of the blue as they have won six of seven and have moved into the second wild-card spot as the Padres and Reds have dropped in the standings. But, no one has slipped more the Mets who had a 4.5 game lead on August 1st but have gone 4-15 in one run games since. New York will start rookie Tylor Megill (3-4, 4.06 ERA) who is off his best performance of the season striking out 10 and allowing two runs in seven innings against the Yankees last Friday. St. Louis will start veteran lefty Jon Lester (5-6, 4.75) who is 8-1 lifetime against the Mets. Although struggling the Mets are still 5-1 in their last six home games when favored.

St. Louis at New York Mets 7:10 ET Mets over Cardinals- So Adam Wainwright (15-7, 2.98 ERA) who is having another great season is an underdog to the Mets and Rich Hill (0-2 3.71) who has yet to win a game for New York. When I see that St. Louis is 6-0 on the road against left-handed starters I wonder how can they be underdogs. The Cardinals have won 7-of-the-last-10 meetings and the Mets are 7-19 against teams with winning records including 1-8 in their last nine at home against winners. This game stinks...Take M-U-T-S! |

Washington has dropped their last three while Pittsburgh has won 4-of-5 and yet the visit opened as the favorite as they are 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Left-hander Patrick Corbin (7-14, 6.14 ERA) has had a rough year and will get the start for the Nats and he is 2-0 with a 0.77 ERA against the Buc's while pitching for Washington. The Pirates will start Bryse Wilson (2-6, 4.60) and he is 0-3 in six starts for them since coming over from the Braves. Take WASHINGTON! |

Arizona at Tennessee 1:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Titans- I think the oddsmaker is giving the Cardinals a great deal of respect. Tennessee was 11-5 last season before falling in the playoffs while Arizona struggled to reach 8-8 and failed to make the playoffs. The Titans added A.J. Green and Julio Jones to offset their powerful running game with Derrick Henry and yet they are favorite by just the home-field margin of -3. It looks like Kyler Murray will have his way against the Titans' Achilles heel...their defense. Arizona leads the all-time series 7-4 and are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take ARIZONA! |

Could the then ranked No. 20 Washington have been looking ahead to this Big Ten matchup...we shall see. Michigan posted a 47-14 win over Western Michigan but lost their start wide receiver and kick returner to season ending injuries. Jim Harbaugh is under the gun to produce this season but has struggled against the Pac-12 going 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Huskies 4-1 ATS after SU bounce back here. Take WASHINGTON! |

Pittsburgh managed a 4-3 walk-off win yesterday as they moved to only 39 games under. 500. The Nationals who are just 25-games under .500 will start rookie Josiah Gray (0-2, 5.65 ERA) while the home club will start rookie Wil Crowe (3-7, 5.94) and both are facing their opponents for the first time.

The Dodgers will start the winningest pitcher in baseball as Julio Urias (16-3, 3.11 ERA) takes the hill and San Diego will counter with Joe Musgrove (10-8, 2.87) who is 0-3 with a 4.21 ERA lifetime against LA.

Chicago has no such worries as they are running away with the AL Central and will start Reynaldo Lopez (3-1, 2.08 ERA) and he is 2-1 with a 0.77 ERA against the A's. Oakland will start Sean Manaea (8-9, 3.91) and he has face the White Sox just once going seven innings allowing one run on five hits and no walks.

Mets players were being booed in NY so the players reacted against the fans and now it is an 'us' against them and they are winning. One person who is not winning for the Mets in Rich Hill (6-6, 3.92 ERA) who has yet to post a nine in six appearances with New York going 0-4. Miami will start Sandy Alcantara (8-13, 3.36) who has thrown well this season but was hit hard last time out against the Mets. The Marlins are 5-2 at home versus Mets and they get the money today.

Tampa Bay at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Rays- The Red Sox need to stop the bleeding as they blew a 6-run lead to Tampa Bay yesterday and are just 24-25 since the All-Star break when they were 55-36. Part of Boston's troubles is their defense which leads the AL in errors including four Monday that allowed six unearned runs. The Rays will send Drew Rasmussen (1-0, 3.00 ERA) and he has a 2.53 ERA in five appearances against the Red Sox with no decisions. The Sawx will start Eduardo Rodriguez (11-7, 4.88) and he defeated the Rays 4-0 in Tampa Bay last week throwing six scoreless innings. Take BOSTON! |

Cleveland who is right where most people expected them to be are 35-30 at home and the oddsmaker has made Minnesota the favorite here which makes no sense at all. The best that I can figure is that respect is being paid to 6'9” Bailey Ober (2-2, 3.98 ERA) who has averaged better and a strikeout per inning in this his rookie year. He has a 1.75 ERA in his last four starts covering 20 innings and they are 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

The Fighting Irish have an experienced quarterback in Jack Coan who was beat out at Wisconsin by Graham Mertz after an early season injury. If any of you saw Mertz for the Badgers Saturday I have to wonder if this guy Mertz can win the job from Coan that Jack has a long way to go. Florida State was 3-6 last season with just two wins over FBS schools and are looking for a fresh start in coach Mike Norvell's second season. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

The formidable Crimson Tide lost six offensive players in the first round and now matter what kind of system you have that is a lot of talent to replace. Miami who is 'Up and Coming' will have D'Eriq King back leading the attack and the 6th year senior has recovered from a torn ACL.

Well, that's what has happened in the NL West as the Giants dominated past for five months and now the 'cream' the Dodgers are making their move and have caught their bitter rivals. LA will send David Price (4-2, 3.88 ERA) and while he is 0-3 lifetime against the Giants he owns a 2.88 ERA.

To start with even after suffering a 52-24 beating by Alabama 'The Ohio State' will always be overrated especially starting the season and are always a popular public choice.

He has recorded wins over the Baltimore Orioles, Texas Rangers and Minnesota Twins in his three starts and now he faces a real baseball team. Tampa Bay has won nine straight and were 21-6 in August and will probably use their famous 'All-Staff' as a starter.

Granted Milwaukee may have the edge on the mound as Brandon Woodruff (8-7, 2.38 ERA) takes the hill for the visitors but the Giants are sending Alex Wood (10-4, 4.08) and his teammates are 16-7 when he starts on the bump.

This New York/Boston rivalry doesn't match the Yankees and Red Sox intensity but for some reason the Giants have always given the Patriots a difficult time winning five straight matchups ATS until their last meeting in 2019.

Atlanta will start Ian Anderson (5-5, 3.56) who has allowed less hits than innings pitched and has averaged 1.3 strikeouts per inning.

Through the years Dallas has been one of the worst preseason bets as they are 21-41 as favorites and 26-38 as underdogs in these meaningless games.

San Francisco at Atlanta 7:20 ET Braves over Giants- The pundits are still trying to figure how the Giants have the best record in MLB and one reason for their success is their balance as the lead the majors in home runs with 195 and their team leader has just 20 dingers. San Francisco has assembled a pitching staff that is second in ERA at 3.70 and will start Logan Webb (7-3, 2.84 ERA) and his mates are 14-4 in his 18 starts. Atlanta leads the NL East as they are 20-7 in their last 27 games overall. The Braves who are 6-1 in the last seven meetings will start Huascar Ynoa (4-3, 2.89) and he is facing the Giants for the first time in his short career. Today, it is the BRAVES! |

Jacksonville at New Orleans 8:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Saints- The coaching change in Jacksonville by bringing Urban Meyer to take over the reins may help, but even with Meyer at the helm the Jaguars lost their fifth straight pre-season game last week to Cleveland 22-13 opening as the favorite and are 0-5 ATS in those losses. New Orleans had quite a day in their opener as begun the post-Drew Brees era by committing six turnovers in their 19-16 loss to Baltimore with each quarterback throwing an interception while getting penalized 10 times. But, the true reason I like the Jags here is coaching. I just believe that Meyer will look to establish a positive mantra with his 'new' club here. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

Heaney who was the Angels Opening Day starter has been atrocious since coming over to the Yankees and has a 9.00 ERA in three starts. In less than a month the Red Sox have lost a 9.5-game lead over New York and have lost 10 of their last 13 games. They won the first eight meetings of the season against the Bronx Bombers but are just 17-38 at Yankee Stadium.

Phoenix had the best road record in the NBA going 24-12 SU during the regular season but they are facing a Bucks team that is 9-1 at home during the Playoffs. From what I've seen the 'Greek Freak' has just taken over the in side game both offensively and defensively and he is just too strong inside when he has the ball and manages to dish the ball off for teammates easy buckets.
