11-16-19 | Virginia Tech v. Georgia Tech +7 | Top | 45-0 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 36 m | Show |
Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech 3:30 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Hokies- This is one of those game where I will convince myself that nI have the right side because bot is this an ugly side...until it wins. Georgia Tech has had a difficult adjustment as former triple-option coach Paul Johnson retired and the Yellow Jackets were troubled during the transition. The have a balanced offense now but each side land and air only average 150 yards a game each. Opening the season losers against Minnesota 34-10 and Clemson 52-14 the imagine of ineptness and futility was felt. But, those are two pretty dare good clubs and after starting 0-5 ATS they are 2-1-1 ATS with a road win at Miami-Fl. This is the best justification I've got, the underdog is 12-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Nah, they are playing much better coming off of a 375 yard offensive performance while The Hokies are off of 3-straight big-game covers defeating Wake Forest 36-17 as a 3-point dog last week. They should come out flat of fall apart in the second half or both! Take GEORGIA TECH! |

11-15-19 | Minnesota +5.5 v. Utah | Top | 69-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
Minnesota at Utah 9:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Utes- Utah won for fun last time out defeating Mississippi Valley State 143-49 after running out to a 70-20 halftime lead. That means the Utes scored more points in the second half which started with a 50-point lead. I believe the competition will become a little tougher tonight. Minnesota opened with a win at home over Cleveland State but have lost a pair of away games to Oklahoma and Butler ( Megabucks winner). The Golden Gophers defeated the Utes last season 78-69 and have held opponents to just 61.7 points per games this season. Take MINNESOTA! |

11-15-19 | 76ers v. Thunder +4 | Top | 119-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over 76ers- OKC has gone through a number of changes this season and although they are just 4-7 SU they have a winning ATS record and are 4-3 both SU and ATS at home. Philadelphia after a quick start has dropped four of their last six while the Thunder have dropped this last two. OKC is 6-1 ATS after a loss and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Sixers. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Clippers v. Pelicans +4.5 | Top | 127-132 | Win | 100 | 8 h 8 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Clippers- Los Angeles is looking forward to the debut of Paul George Thursday as he returns to play after having surgery on bothy shoulders who can help fill the void left by slacker Kawhi Leonard who is on vacation tonight due to back-to-back games for the Clippers. New Orleans has been hit with injuries that can be used as an excuse for their 2-8 SU record. Surprisingly enough the Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and will get the money here as the Clippers struggle with chemistry with George's return. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Heat v. Cavs +4.5 | Top | 108-97 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 11 m | Show |
Miami at Cleveland 6:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Heat- Underrated Miami is 7-3 SU and off to their best start since LeBron James' departure and are doing it with a skeleton crew as numerous players are down or out because of injuries and suspensions. This is supposed to be another rebuilding year for Cleveland and they are just 4-6 but they are a more than respectable 6-3-1 ATS while the Heat are 7-3 ATS. New Cavaliers coach John Beilein has his young squad mixed with a few veterans playing together and they are 3-0 ATS in their last three games as well as 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Cleveland. Take the CAVALIERS! |
|||||||
11-13-19 | Capitals v. Flyers +103 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 47 m | Show |
Washington at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Flyers over Capitals- Now, this should be a hockey game (but you really never know for sure)! Nothing but good things to say about both these clubs as Philadelphia enters having won four straight while the Capitals are on a 12-game point streak (10-0-2). Although Washington has had the best of the 'Broadway Bullies' entering this game 13-2-4 in the City of Brotherly Love but there is something that happens to one's 'karma' after a loss to end a winning streak be it in overtime or not. Take the FLYERS! |
|||||||
11-13-19 | 76ers v. Magic -105 | Top | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is off of a 98-97 home win over Cleveland last night and must travel to Orlando in the second of their back-tp-back games. Meanwhile, Orlando continues to struggle having lost five of their last six but have had three days of rest but may have an advantage here. The 76ers are just 4-9 ATS when playing the second game of back-to-backs while the Magic are 18-8-1 ATS against the NBA Atlantic and have won 21 of 28 regular season meetings outright in Orlando. Take the MAGIC! |
|||||||
11-13-19 | Villanova v. Ohio State -118 | Top | 51-76 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
Villanova at Ohio State 7:00 ET Buckeyes over Wildcats- A great early season match-up has a pair of undefeated ranked teams going at it in Columbus where No. 16 Ohio State will take on No. 10 Villanova. The Wildcats opened their season eight days ago by crushing Army 97-54 hardly an opponent to build a resume. The Buckeyes have won their two game both at home opening with a win over a tough Cincinnati squad 64-56 getting the win and cover. Although the Wildcats are 11-3 ATS against the Big Ten they are 0-5 ATS in their last true five road games. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
11-12-19 | Oilers v. Sharks -130 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
Edmonton at San Jose 10:30 ET Sharks over Oilers- okay lets take a look at this matchup...the Oilers are without question the better team with a 12-5-1-1 record while San Jose has managed just seven wins in 18 games and are a minus -638 a $100 per outing. It is difficult to grasp why the Sharks are such a heavy favorite as Edmonton is 8-0 in their last eight as an underdog. But under further review we see that the Sharks have won the last four meetings and seven of the last eight. Take SAN JOSE! |
|||||||
11-12-19 | Blazers v. Kings +2 | Top | 99-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
Portland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- Let me start my saying there has got to be something different about this Portland club this season and the Vegas 'number' are proving my point daily with the lines in their games. Here is Sacramento who lost their first five games including a loss to these Trailblazers 122-112 but have now won 3-of-4. Portland has won six of the last seven meetings going 5-1-1 ATS and I believe with those stats that this is a 'suckers' price. Another factor, beside Marvin Bradley III being out with injury the Kings lost starting point guard De'Aaron Fox on Monday due to an ankle sprain and yet this price seem way low to me. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
11-11-19 | Raptors v. Clippers -9.5 | Top | 88-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show |
Toronto at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (-) over Raptors- So, this is a bit different, the reigning NBA Champions the Toronto Raptors are a double-digit (for the most part) underdog on the road tonight. Of course this is because of the plus and minus that these two clubs have experienced in the off-season when Kawhi Leonard moved from the 'Great North' to sunny Los Angeles. The Raptors have actually played well without Leonard going 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS to date and have been favored in every meeting (7) since 2015. But, the tide has turned with the off-season move and the Clippers are a huge favorite here and get the cash. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
11-11-19 | Seahawks v. 49ers -6 | Top | 27-24 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
Seattle at San Francisco 8:15 ET 49ers (-) over Seahawks- This NFC West matchup will pit two of the three top Super Bowl contenders (Green Bay) from the conference. For San Francisco this is new territory while the Seahawks with favored MVP candidate Russell Wilson leading the way has been contending for the Super Bowl berth since his arrival. Both clubs average nearly 400 yards on offense with the Niners 171 yards rushing leading the league. But, for the most part the biggest difference is on defense where San Francisco allows only 241 yard per start while the Seattle surrenders 381 yards per contest. The home team is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Chiefs v. Titans +6.5 | Top | 32-35 | Win | 100 | 17 h 60 m | Show |
Kansas City at Tennessee 1:00 ET Titans (+) over Chiefs- The Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes in charge may have the best offense in the NFL but if he isn't at full strength they can be just ordinary. No longer do teams believe they are invulnerable and the three losses attest to that. Now, speaking of teams with quarterback issues the Titans are right up there with the lot of bad teams. But, the Tennessee defense can get up and surprise us every once and again. The Titans are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and Kansas City is 1-4 ATS on the road in their last five against teams with a losing record. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Giants v. Jets +3 | Top | 27-34 | Win | 100 | 17 h 31 m | Show |
N.Y.Giants at N.Y. Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Giants- Officially this has been labeled the Gotham Sewer Bowl as it most likely will be professional football at its worst! There is no doubt in my mind that the betting public will be on the Giants...they always are. NYC is a Giants/Yankees town as opposed to Mets/Jets, every other pro team is an also fan in the fans eye even when they are the better team. Now, I in no way would say that the Jets are a better team then the Giants as they average 157 yards passing and only 66 yards rushing (that's pretty bad). The media had been unbridled with praise for the Giants Dave (Turnover Machine) Jones while Sam 'What am I doing here' Darnold saw ghost chasing the ball in the end zone as he froze on the Dolphins safety last week. None the less, I have been and always will be a Giants fan and season ticket holder and I say...LET”S GO JETS! |
|||||||
11-09-19 | Mavs v. Grizzlies +3 | Top | 138-122 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
Dallas at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas who just lost to the lowly New York Knicks at home last night take their perfect 3-0 road record to Memphis to play the Grizzlies (2-6) another bottom feeder. This brings the Mavericks record to 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 road games. Last season the Grizzlies took the first three meetings until the fourth matchup when Dallas posted a win and are 4-1 ATS in their last five at Dallas. Memphis rookie No. 2 draft pick Ja Morant is off of a season low eight points in a game where his backcourt partner Dillon Brooks failed to make a field goal at Orlando last night. At home things get better. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
11-09-19 | Notre Dame v. Duke +8 | Top | 38-7 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 60 m | Show |
Notre Dame at Duke 7:30 ET Blue Devils (+) over Fighting Irish- The Blue Devils visions of upper tier bowl acceptance has take a blow with three straight losses so after a 4-1 start they are even. Notre Dame's dreams were dashed early by Georgia and reaffirmed by Michigan two weeks ago. Duke has had two weeks to get ready for the biggest home crowd they will see this season while the Irish will just play it out with little motivation. This game is more meaningful for the Devils...Take DUKE! |
|||||||
11-09-19 | LSU v. Alabama -5.5 | Top | 46-41 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 54 m | Show |
Louisiana State at Alabama 3:30 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Tigers- Golly, I can't wait to see the colors, the bands, the pageantry and everything makes this match-up 'special' on a college campus. This is the SEC Game of the Year between pair of 8-0 undefeated teams LSU and Alabama. There is a history here and it's not good for the Tigers. Alabama has won the last eight meetings and although the Tigers have probably played better competition with three win over Top-10 teams while the Tide haven't faced a ranked opponent until LSU. The Tigers would grade out as the better team but they have a hurdle in front of them that they have not been able to conquer since Nick Saban was coaching LSU. Tua or not...take ALABAMA! |
|||||||
11-09-19 | Baylor v. TCU +3 | Top | 29-23 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 2 m | Show |
Baylor at Texas Christian 12:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Bears- Could the undefeated 8-0 #12 Baylor Bears be the Big-12 club that throws a monkey wrench into the FBS doings...nah. Even though the Horned Frogs have lost a pair of quarterbacks in the past two weeks they are still able to sting an unsuspecting foe. TCU has won the last four meetings and most likely will have QB Max Duggan who replaced Alex Delton. I'm a little skittish here as the Horned Frogs have turned this trick already defeating Texas as a home dog...Frogs bark...Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |
|||||||
11-08-19 | 76ers v. Nuggets -5 | Top | 97-100 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over 76ers- The 76ers are playing their fourth straight road game on the western tour having lost their last two at Phoenix and Utah after defeating Portland. In two of those contests Joel Embiid served his two-game suspension and he is back while Ben Simmons is lost to a shoulder sprain. Denver took down the Sixers at home last season 126-110 as Nikola Jokic posted 32 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Too much for Philly to overcome. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
11-07-19 | Chargers v. Raiders +1.5 | Top | 24-26 | Win | 100 | 21 h 18 m | Show |
San Diego at Oakland 8:20 ET Raiders (+) over Chargers- Kudos to the Chargers for improvising us with another 'Highest-Rated' 5$Megabucks win over the Packers completely dominating play. Oakland was a winner as well but was very lucky in the process as the Lion's ineptitude in crucial monument handed the victory to the Raiders. So what...a winner is a winner in this league and if you can't or don't execute too bad for you. Oakland won again and there is a positive attitude with this club that was missing prior to Gruden arrival. Still, not confident that LA has turned the corner...Take OAKLAND! |
|||||||
11-07-19 | Celtics v. Hornets +7.5 | Top | 108-87 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Boston at Charlotte 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Celtics- I can say one thing about fading the Celtics, I don't think it's going to be a good idea in the long run. With the addition of Kemba Walker and the revitalization of Gordon Hayward Boston is once again a formidable force in the East. Since dropping their opener to the 76ers the Celtics have reeled off five straight wins while Charlotte has won their last three and has 'covered' their last four. Boston is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings but the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
11-07-19 | Capitals v. Panthers -108 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
Washington at Florida 7:05 ET Panthers over Capitals- Washington is scoring goals like the government spends money as they have scored at least three goals in 13 consecutive games and four or more in 10 of 12 and they are 8-0-1 in their last nine overall. So, how do the open as an underdog at Florida? Well, the Panthers have won five straight in the series and they are 6-1-4 in their last 11 games overall. It's just the way the puck bounces...take FLORIDA! |
|||||||
11-06-19 | Bulls +2.5 v. Hawks | Top | 113-93 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
Chicago at Atlanta 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Hawks- Chicago had a 17-point halftime lead against the Lakers last night and managed to gang on for the 'cover' by a half-point after getting outscored 38-19 in the final period. Tonight the Bulls travel to Atlanta where the Hawks outscored San Antonio 38-22 in the final period posting a 108-100 win as Trae Young scored 28 of his 29 points in the second half. Series wise Chicago is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings including 4-0 ATS in their last four visits to Atlanta. Line is way low...take the BULLS! |
|||||||
11-05-19 | Bruins v. Canadiens -105 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
Boston at Montreal 7:30 ET Canadiens over Bruins- So, Boston has lost just once in 14 games and are 10-4 in regulation and come up an underdog at Montreal. The Bruins are just 11-24 when an underdog and the Canadiens have a long history of raining on Boston's parade and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four as a dog. Take MONTREAL! |
|||||||
11-05-19 | Celtics v. Cavs +6.5 | Top | 119-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Boston at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Celtics- Boston has run off four straight win since an opening season loss Philadelphia with Kemba Walker and the return to form by Gordon Hayward and play of Jason Tatum. The Cavaliers may be a bit underrated this season with a healthy Kevin Love and Christian Thompson along with a pair of dynamic guards in Darius Garland and Collin Sexton could surprise some this season. Hopefully that surprise continues tonight. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings as hosts and the home team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-05-19 | Kansas -130 v. Duke | Top | 66-68 | Loss | -130 | 4 h 47 m | Show |
Kansas vs. Duke 7:00 ET Jayhawks over Blue Devils- Duke lost three Top-10 players to the NBA draft and have reloaded under Mike Krzyzewski entering his 40th year at the helm fo the No. 4 ranked Blue Devils. It looks like the Devils will rotate 11 players to start the season whereas the Jayhawks will ride senior center Udoka Azubuike who returns after seeing action in just nine games last season and Kansas is 47-9 straight-up in is 56 career starts. They Jayhawks have added Iowa graduate transfer shooting guard Isaiah Moss a former Michigan commit Jalen Wilson the pieces needed to contend for the title this season. I remember last year's opener...Duke 118, Kentucky 84 not this time. Take KANSAS! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Patriots v. Ravens +3.5 | Top | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 27 h 59 m | Show |
New England at Baltimore 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over Patriots- Truly an interesting game with plenty of side plots and storylines. Starting with quarterback comparisons when it is difficult to do because they both Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson have such contrasting styles. Results are probably the best measure and one guy comes in 8-0 with plenty of defensive help and they others resume is still on its opening page. As invulnerable as New England appears there is one obvious Achilles Heel...they are on their third place kicker of the season cutting both Mike Nugent for Nick Folk. The dog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but the Ravens are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games...that streak ends tonight. Take BALTIMORE! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Mavs v. Cavs +5.5 | Top | 131-111 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
Dallas at Cleveland 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Mavericks- Although they blew a 10-point lead against the Lakers last time out the Mavericks are a much improved team this season with Kristaps Porzingis joining future super-star Luka Doncic who posted his second triple-double of the season in that overtime loss. Now, Dallas takes to the road where they will try and win their third straight without a loss. Cleveland is 2-0 both SU and ATS at home and veteran All-star Kevin Love has had five straight double-doubles to start the season. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Packers v. Chargers +4 | Top | 11-26 | Win | 100 | 23 h 23 m | Show |
Green Bay at L.A. Chargers 4:25 ET Chargers (+) over Packers- Okay, I'm trying to keep calm until game time but this has to the 'Major Shocker' of the day. Green Bay comes rolling into Los Angeles winning their last four scoring 73 points in their last two taking down a pair of AFC West teams in Oakland and Kansas City. This week they have drawn the regrouping Chargers who had just 231 yards total offense in their 17-16 win at Chicago. Series history buries LA as the Packers have won the last seven and 10-11 meetings overall. With little fan sport the home Chargers are just 1-3 SU and 0-3-1 ATS as 'hosts.' LA (HA) has made a change at OC and maybe Los Angeles will score some goals in this diminutive soccer stadium. Take the CHARGERS! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Colts v. Steelers +1 | Top | 24-26 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show |
Indianapolis at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET Steelers over Colts- I'm getting a lot of resistance with this one as some are afraid of Pittsburgh's offensive question mark quarterback notwithstanding as all-purpose runner/receiver James Conner some an important part of the Steelers offense will be missing. Yeah, I get it, but 'teams' win games and although they looked like crap Monday night against Miami, that they are closer than you might think. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the underdog is 5-2 in the last seven meetings and the Steelers could be both by game time. Take PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Nets v. Pistons +2 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Nets- The Pistons opened the season with a road win against Indiana but have dropped four of five since with that lone win coming once against over the Pacers. Detroit is a little 'banged' up still have Andre Drummond who has had six straight triple-doubles and and three 20-20 games along with a reborn Derrick Rose. This is a bit of a time and place selection as the Nets took down the Lakers in Brooklyn last night while the Piston return home after a loss at Chicago. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Kansas State v. Kansas +6 | Top | 38-10 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 13 m | Show |
Kansas State at Kansas 3:30 ET Jayhawks (+) over Wildcats- The is a great spot for the Jayhawks as they catch State off of their biggest upset win in over a decade as they just physically out-manned Oklahoma. That was no flute these Wildcats can play, but can they sustain that intensity four another full four quarters? Kansas won in upset style themselves and at 3-5 they are much improved with Carter Stanley throwing 19 TDs already. It's not that the Wildcats can't win easy, under most circumstances they probably would, but it's just the time and don't forgot the place. Take KANSAS! |
|||||||
11-01-19 | Rockets v. Nets +4.5 | Top | 116-123 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Houston at Brooklyn 7:00 ET Nets (+) over Rockets- Well, something has to give here as both these clubs are 0-4 ATS while Houston is 3-1 SU and the Nets 1-3. Major additions to each club has changed to face of these clubs as Russell Westbrook was added to the Rockets and Brooklyn added Kyrie Irving and of course Kevin Durant who isn't expected to play this season. Houston is coming off of one of the highest scoring games in NBA history defeating the Wizards 159-158 in regulation no less. The Nets are hungrier than the Rockets and get the win here and are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
10-31-19 | Georgia Southern +15.5 v. Appalachian State | Top | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
Georgia Southern and Appalachian State 8:00 ET Eagles (+) over Mountaineers- There is no doubt No 20 Appalachian State is the best of the also-rans (see 2018 Central Florida) and are meetings the team that knocked them out of the Top-25 last year. So, yes they have revenge on their minds but they are facing one of the best running games in the nation. Georgia Southern has the 7th ranked rushing offense (26 per) led by Junior running backs J.D. King and Wesley Kennedy III and have six players that have run for at least 100 in a game. Take GEORGIA SOUTHERN! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Canucks v. Kings +105 | Top | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
Vancouver at L.A. Kings 10:30 ET Kings over Canucks- Vancouver is a current scoring machine and has registered five goals in three consecutive games. The Canucks have had their way with the Kings going 7-0-2 in the last nine meetings including a 8-2 beatdown three weeks ago tonight. But, turnabout can happen and the Kings need it here. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Bucks v. Celtics +3 | Top | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- These two may end up battling each other in the Eastern Conference Finals but as of right now Milwaukee have the bragging rights. The Bucks have been a bully in this series of late going 4-0 ATS in the four meetings but the Celtics had taken four of the previous five meetings. But it was Milwaukee that ousted Boston from the playoffs last year. Of late the Bucks are 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records and are 0-4 against the NBA Atlantic and surrender 118 points per game while Boston holds opponents to 102.7 and they will play defense at home. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Bulls v. Cavs +2.5 | Top | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bulls- Chicago opened the season with their bags packed and tonight they are playing their fourth game in five on the road winning once at Memphis. Cleveland is 1-2 SU but 2-1 ATS with their win in their lone home game over Indiana as a 4.5-point dog. The Bulls have dominated the series going 28-10 ATS in the last 38 meetings including 20-6 ATS at Cleveland. But, faces have changed and this version of the Bulls is like the gang that 'couldn't shoot straight.' Chicago is last in 3-point shooting an are 26th in overall shooting percentage. Tristan Thompson is healthy after battling injuries the past two seasons has been impressive (19 pts, 12.3 rebound and Kevin Love has 15.7 points and 15.7 rebounds a game. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
10-29-19 | Hawks +8 v. Heat | Top | 97-112 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Atlanta at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Hawks- Interesting match-up here as the 2-1 Hawks fly to Miami after a tough 105-103 home loss to the 76ers. The Heat who are 2-1 are expecting the debut of Jimmy Butler who once again is having problems getting on the playing floor missing the first three games because of a birth of a daughter. Miami has averaged 120 in his absence and it can only be a plus (hopefully) with his finally getting playing time. With, Butler ready to play there is always the chance some of the Hawks will be 'rested' in the second of their back-to-back games. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
10-29-19 | Capitals v. Maple Leafs -125 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
Washington at Toronto 7:00 ET Maple Leafs over Capitals- Here's hoping that 'turn-about-is-fair-play' as the Maple Leafs are looking to even the score after losing 4-3 to the Capitals two weeks ago. Washington went 5-0-1 and has set a club record for points in October. That could be deceiving as the NHL is opening the season much sooner now-a days. Toronto has dropped three of their last four with their win coming in their last home game defeating the Sharks 4-1. Leafs 4-2-1-1 at home. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
10-28-19 | Magic +5 v. Raptors | Top | 95-104 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
Orlando at Toronto 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- To start with I was a little surprised that Orlando was favored Saturday night at Atlanta and expected better from them as they fell to Trae Young and the Hawks going just 5-31 from 3-point range. Toronto put on a defensive clinic against the Bulls holding them to just 84 points posting their second victory of the season after their loss at Boston. These two met in the first-round of the NBA Playoffs least season the Raptors winning four straight after dropping the opener after splitting four regular season games. I expect the Magic to shoot better tonight. Take ORLANDO! |

10-27-19 | Packers v. Chiefs +5.5 | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 6 m | Show |
Green Bay at Kansas City 8:20 ET Chiefs (+) over Packers- Okay, no Mahomes, so now what? So, now the Chiefs are expected to play defense to make up for the MLP's absence. I last impression I have of the Chiefs is them shutting down the hapless Broncos 30-6 last Thursday which really doesn't say that much. But, it was still an impressive performance as they did dominate. I am surprised that the Packers are this big a favorite on the road as Matt Moore is getting very little regard. Still, the Chiefs have the No. 3 offense and plenty of other explosive weapons. Take KANSAS CITY! |

10-27-19 | Warriors v. Thunder +1.5 | Top | 92-120 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
Golden State at Oklahoma City 3:30 ET Thunder (+) over Warriors- I don't know if you saw it, I did. I watched the Warriors opening game a home loss to the LA Clippers 141-122 and what I learned is that Golden State's run of making it to five straight NBA Finals in done. OKC is 0-2 and no longer have Russell Westbrook or Paul George and without their firepower they dropped a 97-85 decision at home against the lowly Wizards. Playing at home helps where the Thunder are 5-1 ATS after a home loss while the Warriors are 0-7 ATS against teams with losing records. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

10-26-19 | Astros -105 v. Nationals | Top | 8-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
Houston at Washington 8:05 ET Astros over Nationals- We finally saw some signs of life out of Houston Friday as they cut the Nationals series lead to 2-1 and can once again gain home field advantage with a win here. This time it was Washington's bat that went silent going 0-10 with runners in scoring position as they stranded 12 base runners. Houston is going to their bullpen starting Jose Urquidy while the Nats will start Patrick Corbin (1-2, 6.91 ERA) who has struggled out of the bullpen in the postseason. Take ASTROS! |

10-26-19 | Notre Dame v. Michigan +1 | Top | 14-45 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
Notre Dame at Michigan 7:30 ET Wolverines (+) over Fighting Irish- I remember watching this matchup last year sitting with friends at my favorite place having faded Michigan as the rest of the free world and some of the oppressed bet on the Wolverines. Notre Dame of course won easy, rushed out to a quick 14-0 and then 21-3 leads before the half. The Irish won easy over the Wolverines and everyone started to sour on Jim Harbaugh who is 1-12 against Top-10 teams. Notre dame has lost seven of their last eight visits to Ann Arbor where the Wolverines have won their last 12. Now, the same people that had Michigan last season and lost all have Notre Dame. Take MICHIGAN! |

10-26-19 | 76ers v. Pistons +4.5 | Top | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over 76ers- This should end up a battle of 'big men' as the 76ers bring not only Joel Embiid to the fore court but he now has Al Horford for support. The Pistons will counter with Andre Drummond who can be dominating against lesser centers. Detroit opened the season with back-to-back games winning at Indiana and then losing at home. Although, the Sixers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight meetings and 0-6 ATS in their last six home games (dating back to last year obviously) they will come up big here. Take the PISTONS! |

10-26-19 | Penn State v. Michigan State +5.5 | Top | 28-7 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 52 m | Show |
Penn State at Michigan State 3:30 ET Spartans (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State jumped on Michigan last week and then had to hang on needing a Wolverine end zone dropped pass tp seal the win. The Lions were out-gained by 134 yards and had the ball just 22 minutes on offense. That plays into Michigan State's hands as their thing is defense although they have struggled the past two weeks against Ohio State and Wisconsin. The Spartans have won five of the past six meetings and always seem to 'get-up' for Penn State. Vegas has been 'hit' hard by the 'Sharps' with the 'smart' money coming on the Spartans. I agree with them...take MICHIGAN STATE! |

10-26-19 | Texas v. TCU +1.5 | Top | 27-37 | Win | 100 | 17 h 46 m | Show |
Texas at TCU 3:30 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- Does this 'line' look right to you? It doesn't to me. Here's No. 15 Texas who totaled 638 yards against Kansas last week led by quarterback Sam Ehlinger who had 399 yards passing and four touchdowns. TCU club that has dropped their last two and doesn't appear at 3-3 to be of the same caliber of recent seasons has to rely on their defense which have allowed a national-low 76 first downs. The Longhorns won last year's battle 31-16 but had lost the previous four meetings with the Frogs going 4-1 ATS. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

10-25-19 | Astros -133 v. Nationals | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
Houston at Washington 8:05 ET Astros over Nationals- What more can be said about where this series stands after a pair of wins in Houston by the visiting Nationals. The favored Astros will start their 'weak link' in Zack Greinke who is 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA in this years playoff starts while Washington will start the under-rated Anibal Sanchez who is 1-0 with a 0.71 ERA in the post season. These numbers may mean little tonight as Houston must get off the floor to have any chance to win the Series. Take the ASTROS! |

10-22-19 | Oilers v. Wild -123 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
Edmonton at Minnesota 8:00 ET Wild over Oilers- Okay, I can give you a lot of trends or reason to 'play' the Wild here but the truth is I think that this line stinks! Look at it Edmonton under first year coach Dave Tippet they are 7-1-1 and are the leagues leader in Power Play goals scoring six in 10 attempts. Minnesota has yielded four power play goals in their last three games and the Oilers has only allowed three power play goals in opponents last 31 opportunities. Does this make sense that the Wild are favored. Take MINNESOTA! |

10-21-19 | Patriots -9.5 v. Jets | Top | 33-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
New England at New York Jets 8:15 ET Patriots (-) over Jets- The last time these two met New England was a 20-point home favorite and won 30-14 for the non-cover victory. At that time the Jets were starting 3rd string quarterback Luke Falk who since has been released and tonight they will have Sam Darnold back for the second straight week after missing three games because of the 'Kissing Disease.' His counterpart Tom Brady has eight TD passes and no interceptions in the last three meetings against the Jets but they haven't fared well against the points at New York. The Pats are 1-5 ATS in their last six visits to Gotham and the Jets are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine at home games against teams with winning road records. But there is one factor that I have to mention...the Jets have been out-gained in EVERY game. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

Las Vegas at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Flyers over Knights- After a slow start Vegas has won two straight on the road and continue their trip at Philadelphia tonight where the Flyers are 1-2 on the season. Overall, the 'Broad Street Bullies' have lost four straight and have won just two of their last 10 outright. The Golden Knights have become the second fastest NHL franchise to 100 wins and are off of a shutout win at Pittsburgh. The Flyers despite 91 shots on goal in their last two outings scores just four goals but tonight they find the back of the net. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Edmonton at Winnipeg 7:00 ET Jets over Oilers- What is going on here, has Wayne Gretzky spirit appeared for the Oilers who have made only one playoff appearance in 13 years but are currently are leading the Pacific Division. Things are changing everywhere as Winnipeg who led the NHL in home wins the past two seasons has but one lone victory as hosts against lowly Minnesota. The Jets are riding a six-game point streak (5-0-1) against the Oilers. Take WINNIPEG! |

10-20-19 | Cardinals +3.5 v. Giants | Top | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
Arizona at New York Giants 1:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Giants- Doesn't this 'price' look cheap to you...it does to me. Both clubs are starting rookie quarterbacks with Daniel Jones replacing Eli Manning for New York and Kyler Murray the No. 1 overall draft pick leading Arizona to a 2-3-1 record whereas New York is 2-2 behind Jones. The Giants are expecting to return of both running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram. The Cardinals have won their last two and unlike New York are scoring points. Jones is just at 52% completions and the Jints have lost their last two meetings against Arizona. Take CARDINALS! |

L.A. Rams at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Rams- After a 3-0 start the Rams have dropped their last three and were dismal on offense in last weeks loss to the 49ers. Atlanta has on the other hand been putrid this entire season as Dan Quinn as been searching to want-ads. The Falcons are 1-5 ATS despite have the No. 2 passing game in the NFL with Matt Ryan going 30-36 for 356 yards and four touchdowns in last weeks loss but leading the league in TD passes with 15. Atlanta has won four straight against the Rams and with LA's injury list growing they will struggle here as the Falcons fly high. Take ATLANTA! |

Boise State at B.Y.U. 10:15 ET Cougars (+) over Broncos- Boise State is off of a 59-37 beatdown of Hawaii but lost starting quarterback Hank Bachmeier to a hip injury and now Sophomore Chase Cord is slated to make his first career start. BYU has dropped three straight and are claiming that they haven't quit on the season and the Broncos are the perfect opponent. This non-conference game is a step down for the Broncos who are just 2-5 in their last seven against Independents while BYU is 6-1 ATS versus the Mountain West and 9-3 ATS following a straight up loss. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |

New York Yankees at Houston 8:08 ET Yankees over Astros- With the knowledge that they will have to face Gerrit Cole in Game 7 if they prevail tonight the Yankees will go with the 'All-Staff' to try an extend the series. With both teams are going to their bullpens as New York starts reliever Chad Green and then he most likely will be followed with J.A. Happ. Houston's Jose Urquidy who started who started seven of his nine appearance this season gets the nod and my struggle against the Yanks lineup. Take NEW YORK! |

On the other side Boston's Patrice Bergeron will return to the lineup still bruised with a lower-body injury. Toronto is ready to break a home losing streak of four games as home favorites under -150. The Maple Leafs had a 3-2 games lead in last season's Stanley Cup playoffs but the Bruins prevailed by winning the final two winning the series 4-3. revenge tonight for the Leafs. Take TORONTO! |

10-19-19 | Arizona State v. Utah -13 | Top | 3-21 | Win | 100 | 22 h 4 m | Show |
Arizona State at Utah 6:00 ET Utes (-) over Sun Devils- Doesn't this line appear to be a little on the high side? It does to me! These clubs have Pac-12 mirror record of each other both at 5-1 straight up and 2-1 in conference play. Arizona State behind freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels average 403 yards on offense including 268 through the air but will be opposed by Tyler Huntley who is 3rd nationally for completion percentage (.756) and 5th on passing efficiency (187.6). Utes tailback Zack Moss is back after getting an injured shoulder on September 20 and needs just 55 yards to become Utah's all-time rushing leader. Utah ranks 25th in total offense and 10th defense. They are one of only six teams in that category. Take UTAH! |

With their backs to the wall (of course) the Yankees look to extend the season as home where they are 59-26 on the season. Even against the Astros best the Yankees respond after yesterday's putrid performance. Take NEW YORK! |

The Nationals up 2-0 will send Stephen Strasburg to the mound and he is 2-0 with a 2.40 ERA this post season with 21 strikeouts in 15 innings while St. Louis will send Jack Flahertry who took down Atlanta in Game-5 of the NLDS allowing one run in six innings and has 16 strikeouts in 13 postseason innings.

New York Yankees at Houston 8:08 ET Yankees over Astros- I was the guy that said all season lone that the Yankees “weren't built for the playoffs”...and today should be the reason why! I just never felt that New York's big free swingers at the plate would struggle against top quality playoff hurlers like Justin Verlander. Houston has had their way at home against the Yankees winning 10 of the 14 meetings here and 40 of 53 with 19 of the last 28 meetings in Houston staying UNDER the total. New York has enough fire-power throughout their line-up to turn the tables again. Take NEW YORK! |

10-13-19 | Saints v. Jaguars -140 | Top | 13-6 | Loss | -140 | 21 h 0 m | Show |
New Orleans at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars over Saints- So, now Teddy Bridgewater is the flavor of the month leading New Orleans to three straight wins while replacing the injured Drew Brees. But, wins are for the most part a 'team' thing and if you check the Saints offense it hasn't been all the great. New Orleans averages just 348 yards offense per game and this week they will be without running back Alvin Kamara and he has had five 100 yard games in the last seven. Of corse the Jaguars will rally around QB Gardner Minshew and Leonard Fournette control the ball and get the win. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

10-13-19 | Seahawks v. Browns +1.5 | Top | 32-28 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 27 m | Show |
Seattle at Cleveland 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Seahawks- We all saw it...the Browns totally dominated by the 49ers 31-3 with Cleveland getting out-gained by 266 yards and a 8-22-and 100 yards performance out of Baker Mayfield. Meanwhile it's the same-old, same-old with Seattle winning the close ones especially on the road where they are 2-0 both SU and ATS this season winning 3-of-4 by two or less points. That plays well into this week match-up where the Browns are 0-2 both SU and ATS at home this season, are they that bad...I don't think so. At home where hosts are 3-0-2 in the last five meetings the Browns get a much needed win. Take CLEVELAND! |

Penn State at Iowa 7:30 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Nittany Lions- At the beginning of the week there was no question that I wanted Iowa here after their horrid performance in their 10-3 loss to Michigan on National TV. The problem is that the 'price' has shrunk before of 'Sharp action' on the Hawkeyes and it has lost some value. The Hawkeyes had a total of minus-10 yards against the Wolverines last week as QB Nate Stanley had his worst career game getting sacked eight times and throwing three interceptions. Penn State is averaging 500 yards per game while Iowa after last weeks performance is at just 255 yards per game. It's no matter the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take IOWA! |

Washington at St. Louis 4:08 ET Nationals over Cardinals- The Nationals started the season winning only 19 of their first 50 games but have had the best record in MLB since. With a 1-0 lead in this Best-of-7 seres Washington will start Max Scherzer (12-7, 2.91 ERA) Saturday and he has struggled against the Cardinals this season going 0-2 with a 5.27 ERA in two starts and yet he is favored on the road. Adam Wainwright (14-10, 4.01) had his best outing of the season and was dominate against Atlanta pitching 7.2 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits. The 'numbers' tell me...take WASHINGTON! |

10-12-19 | Alabama v. Texas A&M +17.5 | Top | 47-28 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 56 m | Show |
Alabama at Texas A&M 3:30 ET Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- This is Alabama's 6th game of the year and they have been favored in every one by -33.5,-54.5, -25-5, -36.5, and -37.5 and they have made good twice but only once in their last four contests. It seems that the oddsmakers are giving the Aggies a 'puncher's chance' with the line dipping to 16.5 at one point. For those that are Tide 'backers' this price might appear to be a gift. But, beware things are not always what they seem. Alabama averages 555 yards per game and the Aggies just 427 but are better on defense allowing 300 yards per games while the Crimson are allowing 326 per contest and have surrendered more than 450 yards twice against Mississippi and South Carolina. This will play closer than most believe. Take TEXAS A&M! |

Michigan State at Wisconsin 3:30 ET Spartans (+) over Badgers- They may not be ranked in the Top-5 but No. 8 Wisconsin to me has been the most impressive of all. The Badgers are allowing just 182 total yards per game and have surrendered only 29 points (5.8 ave per game) on the year. But, probably the most impressive of all is the they have not trailed at anytime this season. Michigan State we know has been built on defense for years and only give up 300 total yards per game. The Spartans had 'covered' four straight in the series until last year's 30-6 home beatdown. Note that the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

Washington at St. Louis 8:08 ET Nationals over Cardinals- There is something about this game that just doesn't look right. St. Louis is a small favorite at home despite winning fewer games that the Nationals but won their division and get the home field. Miles Mikolas (10-14, 4.07 ERA) gets the start for the Cardinals and he has been ineffective in his last three starts going 0-1 with 19 hits surrendered in 18 innings. Washington give the ball to Anibal Sanchez (11-8, 3.79) who has won eight of nine decisions after coming off of the IL and has a 2.98 ERA in nine career postseason appearances. Take WASHINGTON! |

Appalachian State at UL Lafayette 8:00 ET Ragin' Cajuns over Mountaineers- Both of these clubs enter this fray on four game winning streaks with the Cajun's have lost their opener to Mississippi State 38-28 (+19) and are 5-0 ATS. Appalachian State has posted a road victory over North Carolina and most likely will be the public's choice here. But, Lafayette averages 540 yards offensively including a balanced attack of 314 yards rushing and 226 threw the air and are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take LAFAYETTE! |

Houston at Tampa Bay 1:05 ET Rays over Astros-After going against Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole the first two games in Houston the Rays get to face Zack Greinke (18-5, 2.93 ERA). Greinke went 8-1 with a 3.02 ERA after coming to the Astros from Arizona and his worst start was against the Rays six weeks ago allowing five earned runs in five innings. Tampa Bay will start Charlie Morton (17-6, 2.97) who has not taken a playoff loss in five starts. The Rays are 16-5 in their last 21 home games. Take TAMPA BAY! |

10-06-19 | Bears v. Raiders +6 | Top | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
Chicago vs. Oakland (London) 1:00 ET Raiders (+) over Bears- Ugly upon ugly is the best way to describe both these clubs. This game in London is just part of the trek that will have the Raiders on the road until the first weekend in November a length of six weeks. I'm sure that the media will make a big deal of Chicago's Khalil Mack getting to play against his former club for the first time since being traded last September. The Bears lost QB Mitch Trubiskey to a shoulder injury and that can only help the Bears tame offense with Chase Daniels now leading the charge. Oakland behind John Gruden will keep this close enough to possible stealing a win at the end. Take the RAIDERS! |

Central Florida and Cincinnati 8:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Knights- No. 18 Central Florida has won 19 straight AAC contests but should be put to the challenge Friday night against a powerful Bearcats squad that put up 525 yards last week improving to 3-1 with their lone loss to Ohio State. The Knights rebounded from their 35-34 loss at Pittsburgh by stomping hapless Connecticut 56-21. This is a spot Cincinnati has let me down in the past but I believe that they have moved passed that and I forgive them. Take the BEARCATS! |

St. Louis at Atlanta 4:37 ET Cardinals over Braves- Atlanta has now lost four in-a-row and I think their 'mojo' is lost too. But, two of the hottest pitchers in the game done the stretch will face-off as St. Louis sends Jack Flaherty (11-8, 2.75 ERA) who enters the playoffs with back-to-back scoreless outings and closed 7-2 with a 0.91 ERA in his last 15 starts. The Braves will counter with Mike Foltynewicz (8-6, 4.54) who won six straight until the Mets did him in on Saturday. Strangely enough St. Louis is 10-3 in the last 13 meetings in Atlanta and the Braves are 2-6 in their last eight playoff home games. Take the CARDINALS! |

09-30-19 | Bengals +3.5 v. Steelers | Top | 3-27 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 8:15 ET Bengals (+) over Steelers- Most likely one of these team will be 0-4 before the end of the night and it would seem more than likely it would be the Bengals. Pittsburgh has dominated this series for decades and is 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings as hosts to Cincinnati. The Bengals seem to have turned have things around now that Marvin Lewis is gone from the coaching ranks although they have yet to win a game. Mason Rudolph who passed for a meager 174 yards in Pittsburgh's loss at the Niners last week will be pitted against the Bengals Andy Dalton who is second in passing yards (979) entering the week. The fact is that the Steelers surrender 442. yards per game and produce only 269 yards per game on offense. Take CINCINNATI! |

Minnesota at Chicago 4:25 ET Bears (-) over Vikings- Okay, we all saw it...we saw the Bears claw the defenseless Redskins on Monday but we also go another look at Mitchell Trubisky and he just doesn't cut it.On the other side of the fence Minnesota also has a struggling quarterback in Kirk Cousins who is the model of inconsistency even with the NFL's leading rusher in Dalvin Cook. But, Chicago has a defense led by Khail Mack and they will shut down the Vikings here. Take CHICAGO! |

09-29-19 | Chiefs v. Lions +7.5 | Top | 34-30 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Kansas City at Detroit 1:00 ET Lions (+) over Chiefs- A pair of undefeated clubs clash in Detroit where the 2-0-1 Lions and 3-0 Chiefs meet with reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes who has passed for over 350 yards in his first three games without an interception. I have shouted as much as I could about what a horrible job coach Matt Patricia is doing as another failed Belichick disciple. But, not so fast as Matt Stafford is being to look like he can finally defeat a team with a winning record. Take KANSAS CITY! |

Ohio State at Nebraska 7:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Buckeyes- Oh...how could I, I mean, I had 'against' the Cornhuskers all lined up last week and failed to post Illinois who covers easy and now I come back ON Nebraska. Ohio State has been impressive averaging 53.5 points per game while allowing just nine per contest. Nebraska who was 0-3 against ranked opponents last season was almost caught in a look-ahead last week as they cams-from-behind in a 42-38 win as a two-touchdown favorite. Although the Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings the Cornhuskers are 6-1-1 in their last eight conference games. Take NEBRASKA! |

Atlanta at N.Y. Mets 7:15 ET Mets over Braves- New York is looking to close a disappointing season with a great send off at home taking down the Division winner in the final series. The Mets Peter Alonso has tied Aaron Judge with 52 HR's for the MLB rookie record while the Braves are more concerned with putting it together for the post season. Steve Metz (10-10, 4.37 ERA) has been a Jykell and Hide going 3-8 on the road but a respectable 7-2 with a 2.47 ERA at home. Mets close with a flurry...take NEW YORK! |

09-28-19 | Mississippi State +10 v. Auburn | Top | 23-56 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 6 m | Show |
Mississippi State at Auburn 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- Auburn has emerged as an SEC power that must be reckoned with as their 4-0 both Su and ATS domination of opponents. The 3-1 Bulldogs are off of three straight home games including last weeks 28-13 win over Kentucky. The Tigers are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games and Mississippi State is 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the under is 6-1 in the last seven as well and have the SEC's leading rusher in Kyle Hill. War Eagles Bo Nix has gotten more credit than he deserves...take BULLDOGS! |

09-26-19 | Cubs -127 v. Pirates | Top | 5-9 | Loss | -127 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh 7:05 ET Cubs over Pirates- Hey how 'bout those Cubs...when the going gets tough they just go on an 8-game losing streak. Now, out of the MLB Playoffs I expect the pressure free Cubbies to roar like a bear would when threatened. Chicago starter Joe Quintana (13-8, 4.55 ERA) has stumbled down the stretch with an ERA of 11.85 for the month. Pirates hurler Joe Musgrove is unbeaten in his last four starts...until today. Take the CUBS! |

L.A. Rams at Cleveland 8:20 ET Browns (+) over Rams- The storyline of course in Baker Mayfield and his crew of underachievers (to date) is what to make of what we've seen so far. Weakness in the offensive and defense for the Browns but for the Rams it's a different story. It looks like Todd Gurley II is back but LA has fallen short of last years offensive pace (33 pts). This is a big game for Cleveland's 'Dog Pound' and they might bite! Take CLEVELAND! |

09-22-19 | Saints +5 v. Seahawks | Top | 33-27 | Win | 100 | 22 h 57 m | Show |
New Orleans at Seattle 4:25 ET Saints (+) over Seahawks- New Orleans without question is my A-Play of the week even without Drew Brees. There is something about a good team that loses a key player that makes them bond and perform better as a unit. (see Brewers without Yelich) Now, understanding the QB position is a unique position but teams win championships not individuals. Seahawks 2-0 on road return home and disappoint. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

09-21-19 | Oregon v. Stanford +10.5 | Top | 21-6 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 12 m | Show |
Oregon at Stanford 7:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Ducks-After what 'we' saw last week out of the Cardinal against Central Florida I don't blame you for turning away here as that was the second straight blow-out loss for Stanford. In the meantime, Oregon has rebounded from their heart breaking loss to Auburn and have out-scored their last two opponents 112-9 defeating Nevada and Montana. The Ducks are coming off of a pair wins against soft opponents and now play a conference foe in need. Stanford is 1705 ATS after a straight-up loss and 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take STANFORD! |

09-19-19 | Titans v. Jaguars +2 | Top | 7-20 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
Tennessee at Jacksonville 8:20 ET Jaguars (+) over Titans- I don't see it, at least not what the general opinion of this matchup between a pair of AFC South rivals. Tennessee is a slight road favorite and I guess that is because of the Jaguars having to go with rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew and their impressive road win at Cleveland or maybe because they are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and 6-1 in the last seven meetings. Jacksonville troubles seem to be more than injuries but player dissatisfaction. But, the Titans are 1-4 ATS vs. the NFC South and 4-12-1 ATS their last 17 road games while the home team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

Houston at Tulane 8:00 ET Green Wave (-) over Cougars- Okay, don't you think that Houston looks good here? I do, too good. The Cougars are returning QB D' Eriq King a senior that has set passing records as an underclassman and defeated Tulane 48-17 at home last season. The Green Wave have been an underdog against Houston every year for over two decades and now they are favored...something's up. Take TULANE! |

09-19-19 | Cardinals -104 v. Cubs | Top | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
St. Louis at Chicago Cubs 7:15 ET Cardinals over Cubs- These two bitter rivals will face each other seven times in their final 10 games as starting with a four-game series in Chicago. St. Louis holds a 3-game lead over both the Cubs and Milwaukee who both trail Washington by 1.5-games. This matchup has some confusing trends that send me to the winner. Remember that the Cardinals have opened as the favorite after you have read this, The Cubs are 47-23 in their last 70 home games, and they are 21-5 in the last 26 meetings in Chicago against the Cards. Add that starter Kyle Hendricks (11-9, 3.26 ERA) is 3-0 with a 0.39 era in three starts this season against St. Louis and is 8-2 with a 2.74 EAR in 17 starts against the Red Birds. The favored Cardinals wills start Jack Flaherty (10-8, 3.05) who is un-hittable of late allowing just 11 hits in his last three starts covering 22 innings. The favored 'Cardinals are 27-12 in their last 39 over...take ST.LOUIS! |

09-18-19 | Blue Jays v. Orioles -112 | Top | 11-10 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
Toronto at Baltimore 7:05 ET Orioles over Blue Jays- All year long I've heard how Miami was the worst team while the Orioles are at 102 while the Marlins have lost 98. Last night's 8-5 win by Toronto evened the season series at seven wins apiece. The Blue Jays will start Clay Buchholtz (1-5, 5.63 ERA) who is 1-3 since coming off of the IL but is 6-3 with a 4.67 ERA at Camden Yards. The Orioles will start Dylan Bundy (6-14, 4.99) who has struggled at home going 2-9 with a 5.10 ERA. The Jays road win last night was their first in their last eight and they revert to form tonight. Take BALTIMORE! |

09-16-19 | Browns v. Jets +7 | Top | 23-3 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
Cleveland at New York Jets 8:15 ET Jets (+) over Browns- After game the NFL opening week it appears that the Cleveland Browns have been reading their own press clipping as they were not ready to play on the field as they were completely dominated by Tennessee. Cleveland committed 18 penalties last week as their focus was elsewhere. . This week the Browns travel to New York as Odell Beckham Jr. returns to MetLife Stadium since being traded by the Giants and he says that he will wear his watch (in order to get his timing down I guess) and I'm interested in how the NFL will handle the issue. Regardless, New York will have a healthy Le'Veon Bell and will have Trevor Siemian who was 13-11 as a starter for Denver in 2016-17. It was the Jets that the Browns defeated last season when Baker Mayfield got his first start and ended a 19-game winless streak. This time take the J-E-T-S! |

09-15-19 | Eagles v. Falcons +2 | Top | 20-24 | Win | 100 | 28 h 33 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Atlanta 8:20 ET Falcons (+) over Eagles- Oh my goodness, I believe I see a 'set-up' here. After posting Minnesota (Power Play winner) over the Falcons last week as the 'dirty-birds' were grounded by the Vikings. They were never really in it and put up a pair of meaningless scores at the end. Philadelphia put on a huge comeback after spotting the Redskins an 18 point lead to win outright but they allowed a score in the final moments to give up the back door cover. The Eagles might be grounded here as another pair of receivers are gimping around and their quarterbacks isn't in tune yet. Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Falcons are 4-0 the last four years in game-2. Take ATLANTA! |

09-15-19 | White Sox v. Mariners -118 | Top | 10-11 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show |
Chicago White Sox at Seattle 4:10 ET Mariners over White Sox- A pair AL also-rans finish the season but there is some excitement in the air surrounding this game. Seattle has a rookie left-hander in Justus Sheffield (0-1, 4.43 ERA) who is on the brink of recording his first MLB victory. He has made just four starts and has allowed just one run in his last 11 innings. His mound opponent for Chicago will be veteran Ivan Nova (10-12, 4.69). Nova is 0-1 with a 6.87 ERA in four career starts against the Mariners losing in April when surrendering seven runs in 2.1 innings. The Mariners are 10-4 in the last 14 meetings. Take SEATTLE! |

09-15-19 | Cowboys v. Redskins +6.5 | Top | 31-21 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 30 m | Show |
Dallas at Washington 1:00 ET Redskins (+) over Cowboys- Do you really think Dak Prescott is as good as he looked against the Giants...of course not, but with that kind of time to throw and receivers that wide open even Tim Tebow would look good. Of course the return of Zeke Elliott three days before the game and then preform the way he did says to us how important pre-season is for skilled players. Washington was in position to pull off the first major upset of the season but folded when it counted most as the Eagles prevailed 32-27 as the Skins (+10) got the money. Although Dallas is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to DC the underdog is 27-11 ATS in this hard hitting rivalry. Take WASHINGTON! |

09-14-19 | Braves v. Nationals -113 | Top | 10-1 | Loss | -113 | 6 h 39 m | Show |
Atlanta at Washington 4:05 ET Nationals over Braves- Atlanta is putting some space between themselves and the rest of the NL East and after last night's 5-0 win over the Nationals they have opened a 12-game lead in the loss column. The Braves will start Mike Foltyewicz (6-5, 5.00 ERA) was sent to the minors earlier this season after surrendering eight hits and eight runs in four innings against Washington bringing his record to 5-4 with a 4.86 ERA against them. Austin Voth (1-1, 4.00) gets the start for the Nats who are strangely favored. Take WASHINGTON! |

Stanford at Central Florida 3:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Panthers- It's been great playing 'on and off' the Cardinals as they have won as our 'Megabucks' opening week Best Bet and then fell to USC (our ('Money Game' winner). So, I feel very comfortable backing them here. There has been a way-over reaction to both these clubs with Central Florida's No. 16 status inflated by the level of competition they play. Now, I'm not saying that they don't deserve it but like Gonzaga in NCAAB they don't play enough good competition. Stanford Quarterback K.J. Costello returns after concussion protocol while the Panthers are deciding between three quality starters in Brandon Wimbush (ND Transfer), Darriel Mack, Jr. (last years back-up) or freshman Dillon Gabriel but no matter, it will be K.J. that will be the difference. Take STANFORD! |

Ottawa at British Columbia 10:00 ET Lions (-) over RedBlacks- The CFL bottom feeders meet in week 14 of action with Ottawa (3-8) entering having lost eight of nine while BC (1-10) has dropped seven straight. The Lions have won 13 of the past 18 meetings between the two and is 4-2 ATS in the last six meetings. There is one oddity among the trends and that is the RedBlacks are 28-12 ATS in their last 40 road games but 2-8 ATS against teams with losing records and no one has lost more than the Lions. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA! |

Washington at Minnesota 7:40 ET Nationals over Twins- An oddity in MLB since inter-league play began has a pair of playoff contenders from opposite leagues facing each other instead of division competitors. Minnesota of course is in first place with a four-game lead over Cleveland while Washington is in the first Wild Card spot with a 3.5-game lead in the NL. Kyle Gibson (13-6, 4.58 ERA) returns from the IL after posting a 7.17 ERA in his previous five starts. Lefty Patrick Corbin (11-7, 3.16) makes his first career start against the Twins and has allowed just 10 hits in his last three starts covering 18 innings. Take the NATIONALS! |

09-12-19 | Bucs +7.5 v. Panthers | Top | 20-14 | Win | 100 | 21 h 46 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Carolina 8:20 ET Buccaneers (+) over Panthers- Both of these NFC South clubs seem to be heading south opening 0-1 with one being even less impressive than the other staring 0-1 ATS. The headliners here at one time had to be Cam Newton for Carolina and Jamis Winston for the Buccaneers, but times change and the best player on the field (by far) will be Christian McCaffrey who had 208 yard form scrimmage in a losing cause against the Rams. Tampa Bay's performance against San Francisco wasn't as bad as it appeared as the out-gained the Niners both on the ground and through the air. They just need Winston to stay under control and no turn the ball over. Moving toward each other this one should be close with the Buccaneers having a chance to pull it out in the end. Add that the road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take TAMPA BAY! |
