11-07-18 | Spurs v. Heat -2 | Top | 88-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
San Antonio at Miami 7:30 ET Heat over Spurs- The Heat had dropped three straight before winning at Detroit Monday 115-110 in overtime and they did it without Hassan Whiteside who averages 14.6 rebounds and 2.75 blocks per contest. Whiteside is questionable tonight and that lowers 'our' rating of this battle just a bit. I like teams in situations when they are ready to win regardless of who's in the starting lineup and I like Miami hear. Defense is such a key ingredient to the Heat winning as they held the Pistons to 41% shooting from the field. Take MIAMI! |

11-06-18 | Bucks v. Blazers +1.5 | Top | 103-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers over Bucks- Just how good are this year's Milwaukee Bucks? Matching their best start in franchise history dating back to their Kareem Abdul-Jabbar days in 1971-72 the Bucks are led by ever-emerging Super-star Giannis Antetokounmpo who has been totally dominate in the early going. Milwaukee has had the benefit of having played six of their nine games at home where they are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS but, the road has been a little different. This term they are 2-1 SU and 1-2 ATS and 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games although they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings in Portland and six of the last seven meetings overall. So these past trends are all one-sided but with one huge difference between then and now...the Bucks are now the favorite. 'Turn-about is fair play'...take PORTLAND! |

11-06-18 | Hurricanes -109 v. Blues | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
Carolina at St. Louis 8:00 ET Hurricanes over Blues- Offensively it is 'feast or famine' for Carolina as they opened the season with a scoring flourish posting 22 goals in their first five games. Now, it their last nine games (2-6-1) they have totaled a mere 16 goals losing their last four outright. St. Louis has played eight of their first 12 games at home and have managed just three wins It's no wonder the Hurricanes are now favored. Take CAROLINA! |
|||||||
11-05-18 | Titans v. Cowboys -4.5 | Top | 28-14 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
Tennessee at Dallas 8:15 ET Cowboys (-) over Titans- Tennessee and Dallas have identical 3-4 records with the Titans having lost their last three and are off the loss in London two weeks ago. Dallas like so many mediocre clubs plays well at home going 3-0 while being winless (0-4) on the road. The Cowboys like the Titans are off a bye week although they didn't have to travel overseas. Neither quarterback is any thing to write home about and both squads have fine defenses but thenTitans offense is one of the worst in the NFL while the Cowboys at least have Ezekiel Elliot. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
11-05-18 | Cavs +5 v. Magic | Top | 100-102 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Cleveland at Orlando 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Magic- This could be ugly with the 1-8 Cavaliers and the 3-6 Magic going at each other. Cleveland who has won once (at home of course) and is 0-4 straight-up on the road but 3-1 ATS with their loss ATS coming last time out at Charlotte. Orlando is 0-4 ATS in their last four home games and the Cavaliers are 8-3 in their last 11 meetings in Orlando (with James) and will suck it up once again. The Magic are off an outright road win at San Antonio and will return to the center here. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-04-18 | 76ers v. Nets +4.5 | Top | 97-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Brooklyn 6:00 ET nets (+) over 76ers- When Joel Embiid wants to play the 76ers are virtually unbeatable and fortunately he prefers to play his best in front of the home crowd. Philadelphia is now 6-0 at home after pounding Detroit on Saturday as Embiid had 19 points and 17 rebounds, but playing on the road is a different story. The 76ers are 0-4 when playing away from home and are 0-7 ATS in their last eight on the road. Brooklyn is 2-2 at home and off a loss to Houston on Friday where they blow a 17-point lead. This time their efforts cover four full quarters. Take the NETS! |
|||||||
11-04-18 | Lions +6 v. Vikings | Top | 9-24 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 31 m | Show |
Detroit at Minnesota 1:00 ET Lions (+) over Vikings- The in-n-out Lions at 3-4 and still in the thick of the things in the NFC North trailing the Bears (4-3) by just one-game. Detroit is coming off a home loss to Seattle (28-14) while the Vikings lost at home to New Orleans 30-22 after having won three in-a-row. If Minnesota is going to have their way they will do it on the round were the Lions defense is the weakest. But, Matthew Stafford is capable of earning at least a part of that contact and deliver the goods here. Road team is 4-1 ATS in last five...take DETROIT! |
|||||||
11-04-18 | Steelers v. Ravens -2 | Top | 23-16 | Loss | -103 | 20 h 20 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Baltimore 1:00 ET Ravens (-) over Steelers- I don't know what going to happen here but this contest caught my eye right of the bat. Not just believe its the Steelers and Ravens but because of the spot these two enter the battle. Pittsburgh has won three straight and at 4-2 lead the AFC North while Baltimore has dropped their last two and have fallen to 4-4. Just with records alone the Ravens are in desperate straits to win this game. Falling 3-game back in the loss column after your season mid-point spells problems for playoff hopes. Note, that Pittsburgh is 1-6-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take BALTIMORE! |
|||||||
11-03-18 | Celtics v. Pacers +3 | Top | 101-102 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Boston at Indiana 7:05 ET Pacers (+) over Celtics- After a 2-2 start Boston has reeled off four straight wins including a franchise setting 3-point performance (24 made) to take down previously undefeated Milwaukee. Indiana who has won their last two contests both on the road return home off a sluggish outing at Chicago. Somehow, even with the return of Gordon Hayward the Celtics are not as highly touted by the 'books' as they were last season as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games against a team with a winning record and the Pacers are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 following an ATS loss. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
11-03-18 | Missouri +6.5 v. Florida | Top | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 23 h 38 m | Show |
Missouri at Florida 4:00 ET Tigers (+) over Gators- Florida is coming off a major letdown as their SEC chances are done. Meanwhile, Missouri is still searching for their first SEC win (0-4) and nothing less then a total offensive collapse in the 2nd half last week (zero 1st downs-8 straight 3-n-out)) against Kentucky kept them out of the win column. Tigers quarterback Drew Luck will play at the next level and I expect him to rally his offense this week with a great Gator challenge. Florida QB situation is one of inconsistency and turnovers. Look for the Tigers to notch their first SEC win...take MISSOURI! |
|||||||
11-03-18 | Penn State v. Michigan -10.5 | Top | 7-42 | Win | 100 | 45 h 22 m | Show |
Penn State at Michigan 3:45 ET Wolverines (-) over Nittany Lions- I sort of feel a little out of my head giving so many points to the Nittany Lions but that's why I'm attracted to Michigan. The points are generous for a reason and maybe the Wolverine 'Revenge Tour' has something to do with it as they are avenging losses from last season, first to Wisconsin, then Michigan State and now for Penn State who crushed Michigan 42-13 last season. Jim Harbaugh said that they will pay for 'rubbing' it in. Take MICHIGAN! |
|||||||
11-02-18 | Avalanche -130 v. Canucks | Top | 6-7 | Loss | -130 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
Colorado at Vancouver 10:00 ET Avalanche at Canucks- Vancouver is in the final game of a 4-game home stand which started with a shutout loss to Pittsburgh but have rebounded with a pair of wins over Minnesota and Chicago. Colorado folded last night and we were the benefactors have posted against then last night winning 6-5 with the Flames. Tonight the Avalanche will get their win. Take COLORADO! |
|||||||
11-02-18 | Thunder v. Wizards -2.5 | Top | 134-111 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Oklahoma City at Washington 7:30 ET Wizards over Thunder- A pair of also-rans go at it in the nations capital as the Wizards who are winless at home (0-2) host Oklahoma City. The Thunder started 0-4 but have ripped off four three straight wins including a 19-point comeback against Charlotte last time out. Washington made an off-season acquisition of eight-time all-start Dwight Howard and for the most part I believe that acquiring Howard spells doom for any team he is associated with. As long as Howard rebounds and stays away from the free thrown line they can win here. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
11-01-18 | Avalanche v. Flames -115 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
Colorado at Calgary 9:00 ET Flames over Avalanche- At first look it appears that Colorado has the advantage much because of the power play differences between these two clubs. The Avalanche has killed 16-of-18 penalties over the last five games while Calgary is just 3-for-36 on their power play this season. But, the key here is that Calgary is 6-1 in the last seven meetings including 5-1 at home. Take CALGARY! |
|||||||
11-01-18 | Raiders v. 49ers -130 | Top | 3-34 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
Oakland at San Francisco 8:20 ET 49ers (-) over Raiders-Can it get any uglier than this (no not last Sunday's selections) but the worst NFL California has too offer (except for Dianne Fiensten...#ME TOO LIES). These two clubs are a combined 2-13 with Oakland's 45-42 win in overtime against Cleveland and the Niners 30-27 win over Detroit. San Francisco has dropped their last six but have been competitive in most although 2-5 ATS while the Raiders are 1-6 ATS and haven't even been close. Oakland lost even more players this week as are willing to retire rather then play for this, the worst of NFL teams (Ck NY Giants). Niners CJ Beathard is questionable but it won't matter. Derek Carr is a turnover machine and will give the ball up enough for the Home team to shine. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
11-01-18 | Kings v. Hawks +2 | Top | 146-115 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
Sacramento at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Kings- Sacramento who started 1-3 with some explosive youngsters on their squad has reeled off for straight wins including the last two on the road. That is a good sign for the Kings but won't help overcome them tonight against Atlanta who has lost their last two on the road and returns home to host the Hawks who has lost 11 straight in Atlanta. Like the Kings to Hawks are among the youngest teams in the league and will play their best at home. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
10-31-18 | Jazz v. Wolves +3 | Top | 125-128 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
Utah at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Jazz- Utah has won the first three games of this four-game road trip and finish at Minnesota who is at home for their third straight games. The Timberwolves won the first two meetings last season and then the Jazz won the other two to balance the series. Minnesota bounced-back from a 30-point home loss to Milwaukee and took a 124-120 win over the Lakers last time out as Towns and Butler finally played well at the same time. Take TIMBERWOLVES! |
|||||||
10-30-18 | Heat +4 v. Hornets | Top | 113-125 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
Miami at Charlotte 7:00 ET Heat (+) over Hornets- Miami fell to the Hornets 113-112 in their home opener ten days ago in a game they believe that they got 'hosed' by the officials in the final second of play. The Heat are off a home loss to Sacramento last night despite Hassan Whiteside's 24 rebounds and five blocked shots because of a poor shooting night from the field and free throw line. Miami is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and are 4-1 ATS in Charlotte. Take the HEAT! |
|||||||
10-30-18 | Hawks v. Cavs -4.5 | Top | 114-136 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
Atlanta at Cleveland 7:05 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hawks- Cleveland is the only winless (0-6) team in the NBA and have a 'new' coach as Tyronne Lue could not survive the James departure. The Cavaliers who opened their home season with a 133-111 loss to the Hawks nine days ago as an 8-point favorite are now favored again and it seems a bit odd for a team that hasn't won a game yet and have already been pounded by Atlanta at home. Maybe new coach Larry Drew can turn them around. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
10-30-18 | Bruins v. Hurricanes -125 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
Boston at Carolina 7:00 ET Hurricanes over Bruins- Boston's dreams of going undefeated 42-0 at home were dashed by Montreal 3-0 Saturday and they are licking their wounds. The Bruins has struggled on the road going 2-4 ATS and have had their issues at Carolina. The Hurricanes will have Goaltender Scott Darling between the pipes for the first time this season back since going out in the preseason. The home team is 5-1 in the last six meetings...take CAROLINA! |
|||||||
10-28-18 | Jazz v. Mavs +5 | Top | 113-104 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 0 m | Show |
Utah at Dallas 7:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Jazz- In an unusual twist the Jazz who hold one of the stronger home court advantages is 0-2 at home and 3-0 on the road. Utah has their way in New Orleans last night crushing the previously undefeated Pelicans 132-111. Dallas has a mirror image record as they are 0-3 on the road and 2-0 at home. The Mavericks will have the return of Dennis Smith who missed a start because of and ankle sprain and leading scorer Harrison Barnes is back after a hamstring pull. After last night's blow-out win Utah should fall back a bit tonight. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
10-28-18 | Packers v. Rams -8 | Top | 27-29 | Loss | -103 | 22 h 52 m | Show |
Green Bay at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET Rams (-) over Packers- This game has attracted plenty attention not only because it involves the best team in the league or the best quarterback on the field but because the 'line' is so high. I'm wondering if they are trying to tell us that the Rams are that good or Green Bay heading south. We should realize that both could be true and I do suspect that the Packers are on the down slide. Problems with Rogers are greater then 'they' are willing to admit as he appears at times to be hobbling. Green Bay have the best QB on the field but Los Angeles has the best running back with Todd Gurley leading the NFL with 686 yards on the ground and 14 touchdowns (Rogers only has 12 TD's). I think that the line is excessively high and that gives me thought that the oddsmakers are making it easy for 'us' to take the points. Well, not this time. Take the RAMS! |
|||||||
10-28-18 | Eagles v. Jaguars +3.5 | Top | 24-18 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 4 m | Show |
Philadelphia vs Jacksonville 9:30 ET Jaguars (+) over Eagles- Do any of you guys or gals recall what has happened the previous NFC East Super Bowl Champions the following season. The Giants alone didn't make the playoffs after each of their four Super Bowl wins and the Eagles 'hangover' runs as deep. Okay, enough of these guys falling flat, how about the Jaguars play of late it has been a disgrace. These two met for the NFC title last season and it doesn't look that either of them will make it back to that level. Big news about the Jags their QB and it will be Blake Bortles and the team will respond. Jacksonville has won three in-a-row at Wembley Stadium and this makes four. Take the JAGUARS! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Texas v. Oklahoma State +3.5 | Top | 35-38 | Win | 100 | 52 h 19 m | Show |
Texas at Oklahoma State 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Longhorns- Listen if the Cowboys weren't able to control Longhorns we would all be vegetarian streak including a win over Oklahoma 48-45. Oklahoma State has a high powered offense that averages nearly 40-points per contest and they have had two weeks as well to pine off their beating at Kansas State (maybe a look-ahead). The Longhorns needed the two weeks for QB Sam Ehlinger to return from a sprained passing shoulder. Texas has the series edge 24-8 but the Cowboys have won six of the past eight and tonight makes another WIN! Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Hornets +5.5 v. 76ers | Top | 103-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
Charlotte at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over 76ers- After what I saw out of the 76ers last season I expected them to be force in the East and challenge Boston for the conference title. But, Philadelphia made a mess of their draft and are insisting on using personnel that is ready for prime time. Joel Embiid is a dominate figure when healthy and is questionable tonight after rolling' his ankle in practice yesterday. The Hornets dropped all four meetings last year by an average 14.5 points Without Embiid the Hornets Kemba Walker and Tony Parker should have their way. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Capitals v. Flames -110 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 11 m | Show |
Washington at Calgary 4:00 ET Flames over Capitals- The Washington Capitals the reining Stanley Cup Champions have struggled getting out of the gate and have lost four of their last six while Calgary at 5-5 surrendered nine goals in their last outing a loss to Pittsburgh 9-1. The Caps are 1-2-1-0 on the road while the Flames are 2-2 at home and are 4-0 after allowing five goals or more. Take CALGARY! |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Utah v. UCLA +10.5 | Top | 41-10 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
Utah at U.C.L.A. 10:30 ET Bruins (+) over Utes- Utah is in position to win the South Division (3-2) but must first get by the Bruins who still have a shot after starting 0-5 (2-2). The Utes are off a convincing win over USC 41-28 moving them into the ranked teams at No. 24 and now catch a squad that is brimming with confidence after posting back-to-back wins smashing California and defeating Arizona. Utah is knowN for it's defense and it is UCLA that has excelled leading the Pac-12 with a plus 6 turnover ration. They have enough to get the money here. Take U.C.L.A. |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Calgary v. Winnipeg -3.5 | Top | 21-29 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
Calgary at Winnipeg 8:30 ET Blue Bombers (-) over Stampeders- This is the first time that Calgary have been an underdog this entire season. They have already clinch their playoff spot and may not be motivated here. After a 4-game losing streak they responded and are currently on a 4-games SU and ATS win streak. The Blue Bombers seem to pay their best at home against teams with winning records as they are 15-5 ATS in their last 20. Take WINNIPEG! |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Red Sox +145 v. Dodgers | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 48 m | Show |
Boston at L.A. Dodgers 8:05 ET Red Sox over Dodgers- I am having difficulty digesting the fact that for the first two games of the World Series one manager out-smarted everyone by taking 126 homers out of the line-up because of percentages. This is a team like the Yankees that is power driven (long ball) and are not built for the playoffs where pitching and defense are the most important factors. Listen all, I am a New Yorker and of course would love to see 'any' team from Boston lose...but, from start to finish this season they have been the best and have shown it in the playoffs and World Series , there is no reason to thing they wilL stop, the Dodgers have been exposed and the Red Sox are just the all-around better team . Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-25-18 | Celtics v. Thunder +1.5 | Top | 101-95 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
Boston at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Celtics- Maybe it's just because it is early in this season, but the Celtics just don't look right to me. The return of Gordon Hayward has not been impressive but neither has the performance of Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 0-3 with Russell Westbrook making his debut in their last game against Sacramento 131-120 putting up 32 points, 12 rebounds with eight assists. Boston has won 10 of the last 12 meetings straight-up but are a meager favorite here. Look for OKC to post their first win of the season. Take the THUNDER! |
|||||||
10-24-18 | Pacers +2.5 v. Spurs | Top | 116-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
Indiana at San Antonio 8:30 ET Pacers (+) over Spurs- 'What a difference a day makes'....actually an off-season. San Antonio who has been a major factor in the NBA for decades has taken a step down (in the odds-makers eyes). In the last 10 meetings between the Spurs and Pacers that have been played in Texas SA has been favored by six to 10-points in each game. Tonight they opened less than a long field goal and that speaks volumes. Indiana who is off Monday's loss at Minnesota are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a ATS loss. Indiana has won just two of their last 16 trips to San Antonio and that is why this line is so suspect. Take PACERS! |
|||||||
10-24-18 | Dodgers v. Red Sox -138 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
L.A. Dodgers at Boston 8:05 ET Red Sox over Dodgers- Okay, we are all aware of David Price's record in post-season action (1-9 as a starter) but, I believe he has turned the corner after his last and most successful outings. This Dodgers are playing for the first time at Fenway Park and will be starting Hyun-Jin Ryu who has come-on later in the season. But, the Red Sox are better balanced and move up 2-0 in the series. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-23-18 | Dodgers v. Red Sox -143 | Top | 4-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
L.A. Dodgers at Boston 8:09 ET Red Sox over Dodgers- When baseball people would talk about World Series droughts the Red Sox were always at the top of the list along with the Chicago Cubs. Bit, Boston ended that 1919 wayback win by getting a title in 2004 and two others since while the Dodgers haven't cashed in last in 1988 (Kurt Gibson the hero). Clayton Kershaw who is making his first start in Fenway Park seems to have broken his post-season hex with performances in the NLCS against the Brewers but he just doesn't have the same 'stuff' on the mound. Chris Sale starts for Boston, is healthy and ready to go in Game One. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-23-18 | Flames -105 v. Canadiens | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
Calgary and Montreal 7:30 ET Flames over Canadiens- This is not what the NHL experts expected as Montreal has lost just once in their seven games surprising most pundits. The Canadiens jumped off to a quick 2-0 in their last contest an overtime loss to Ottawa and have struggled at home going 0-5 against teams with a winning record. The road team is 6-2 in the last eight meetings. Take CALGARY! |
|||||||
10-23-18 | 76ers v. Pistons +1 | Top | 132-133 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over 76ers- The Pistons have a new attitude inspired by their 'new' head coach Dwane Casey who is the reining NBA Coach of the Year after leading Toronto to the best record in the East last season and they are 2-0. I was so high on the 76ers going into the NBA Spring draft and since then they have gone in the wrong direction. This will be a match-up of two huge power players in the Sixers Joel Embiid and the Pistons Blake Griffin who are both scoring over 29 points per. Aside from playing Markelle Fultz as a starter Philly has an ailing Ben Simmons forcing more action off their bench. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
10-22-18 | Wizards +5 v. Blazers | Top | 125-124 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
Washington at Portland 10:00 ET Wizards (+) over Trailblazers- Both clubs opened their season with a pair of home games with Washington losing twice and Portland winning their first twice. This of course if the third straight home game for the Blazers while the Wizards are starting a five-game road trip. This contest provides us with one of the best back court pairs going at it as Washington's Bradley Beal and John Wall will be pitted against Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. In game three both clubs should move more toward the middle. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Bengals +7 v. Chiefs | Top | 10-45 | Loss | -140 | 26 h 40 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Kansas City 5:20 ET Bengals (+) over Chiefs- Those 'Dirty-rotten' pieces of garbage, did it to 'us' 'me' again. I frigging' HATE this club as they find ways to lose that can't be anticipated. Yet yes, I am talking about the Cincinnati Bengals am I will have them 'good' here. Kansas City falls into what Wayne and I like to call the 'Bang-Bang) theory. When are team, be it basketball, football or any sport for that matter has it's undefeated streak broken into the season that they struggle to recover emotionally before their next encounter. Therefore more often then not they don't make it especially as a favorite. All the trends say to fade the Bengals but I can't here. Take CINCINNATI! |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Warriors v. Nuggets +4.5 | Top | 98-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
Golden State at Denver 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Warriors- Golden State remains undefeated as they staged a dramatic 18-point come back to beat Utah at the buzzer 124-123 on Friday while the Nuggets are also 2-0 after cruising past Phoenix 119-91 yesterday. Denver is 2-0 for the first time in seven years while for the Warriors it hasn't been since 2015. These two split for meetings last season but Denver is 62-22 at home against Golden State. Take the NUGGETS! |

10-21-18 | Patriots v. Bears +3 | Top | 38-31 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 37 m | Show |
New England at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Patriots- I love it, I love that way the Bears just folded in Miami in a game that they thought they had won. And that was the problem, once you start thinking about next weeks opponent (New England) you can never get it back. Chicago blew late to the Dolphins because the Patriots were creeping into their minds. (even if not, it could have happened) But, the point should be that the Pat's will have their full attention for a full sixty minutes. New England handed Kansas City their first loss last Sunday night scoring 43 points. Here's the rub, NE is just 3-9-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points and I have more, The Bears are 10-3 straight-up and 11-2 ATS at home against AFC East off a win (Thank you ML-Playbook). Anyway you slice it the Bears are the 'play.' Take CHICAGO! |

10-20-18 | Predators v. Oilers +117 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
Nashville at Edmonton 10:00 ET Oilers (+) over Predators- Nashville was out easy Power Play winner Friday taking out Calgary 5-3 and are now 5-1 on the season. Edmonton started slowly getting out scored 9-3 while losing their first two games but have rebounded with three straight wins including a 3-2 win in their home opener against Boston. The Predators are 3-0 on the road (ML) but will taste defeat on the road for the first time tonight. Take the OILERS! |

10-20-18 | Raptors v. Wizards +1 | Top | 117-113 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
Toronto at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Raptors- I'm sure that there will be an over-reaction to Toronto's quick 2-0 start and convincing win over the Celtics last night. Kawhi Leonard led the way last night with 31 points and 10 rebounds is bringing the Raptors into Washington where the Wizards lost their opener to Miami 113-112. This contest is a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference first round playoff series which Toronto won in six games. This time it's the home team. Take WASHINGTON! |

N.C. State at Clemson 3:30 ET Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- Let me start by saying if I had not already posted my NCAA Blow-Out Game of the Year (Washington 28-7 winner) this would be it. Don't be sucked into taking an undefeated conference rival and all those points. It's a SUCKERS BET! Don't do it. The trends here will support the Wolfpack on numerous counts including they fact that they are 18-3 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye, that they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips here, the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight and to cap it off Clemson is 0-4 ATS in their last four at home. Well, why then...I guess THEY'RE DUE! Take CLEMSON! |

10-20-18 | Cincinnati v. Temple -3 | Top | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 67 h 44 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Temple 12:00 ET Owls (-) over Bearcats- Here we go again...Jerry called! He's right! Last week he called and pointed out unranked USC as a 7-point favorite over a #17 ranked Colorado and won easily. This week he called to remind me that ranked and unbeaten #21 Cincinnati (6-0) comes to Temple as an underdog to the Scarlet Knights (4-2). If you are looking for answers or a rational explanation as to how this or that is going to happen or why, for that matter it is going to happen. But, it should! Maybe, some people of 'influence' in the Philadelphia area want the Owls to shine or maybe there are conditions and circumstances surrounding this game that we never be privy to. By the way the longer the wait the better the 'price' will be! Take TEMPLE! |

10-19-18 | Warriors v. Jazz +3 | Top | 124-123 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
Golden State at Utah 10:30 ET Jazz (+) over Warriors- Both of these clubs opened with a pair of unimpressive wins as Golden State defeated Oklahoma City 108-100 as a double-digit favorite at home while Utah won a lackluster 123-117 performance at Sacramento. Utah won three of their four meetings last season winning both home contest and the final three meetings. The Jazz consider themselves a tough defensive team and they will make 3-points difficult for the Champs. Take UTAH! |

Nashville at Calgary 9:00 ET Predators over Flames- Calgary was a 5-2 Power Play winner for 'us' over Boston on Wednesday and now face a club bent on a 'get-even' mode. The Flames ruined Nashville's season opener by shutting out the Predators 3-0 nine days ago but they haven't loss since. Even though Nashville is just 4-9 in the last 13 meetings they come up favored at Calgary as the road team is 4-0 in the last four. Look for the Predators to get it done. Take NASHVILLE! |

10-19-18 | Dodgers -104 v. Brewers | Top | 2-7 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 20 m | Show |
L.A. Dodgers and Milwaukee 8:40 ET Dodgers over Brewers- The 'Book' sez...we are supposed to be on the Brewers and for a few reasons. First, they are in a must win situation, second they are at home because they won more games than anyone else in the NL. So, why is Milwaukee a team that is 54-31 at home an underdog here? Maybe they think Greg Counsell's antics have run there course or that Christian Yelich (3-20, .150) like some many other stars after great regular season's just don't deliver in the post season. Hyun-Jin Ryu (1-0, 1.59 ERA) starts for LA while it doesn't matter who starts for Milwaukee if the ever get the lead. The 'numbers' don't lie...take LOS ANGELES! |

10-18-18 | Red Sox v. Astros -183 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -183 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
Boston at Houston 8:09 ET Red Sox over Astros- I've seen enough. Having to watch the Astros go down the way they did last night left me thinking that there is no way the Red Sox are going to lose. They have done it all season winning 108 regular season games with the player that had the best all-round season Mookie Betts leading the way as he did last night. The pressure in all on Houston and they just can't match what the Sawx have here, last year was theirs this year it's Boston. Take the RED SOX! |

10-17-18 | Bruins v. Flames -110 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
Boston at Calgary 9:30 ET Flames over Bruins- Boston opened their season on the wrong end of an early Megabucks winner losing 7-0 at Washington and have reeled off four straight wins scoring 22 goals. Calgary is off a 3-game road trip and returns home off a 3-2 OT win at Colorado. The Bruins have won the last three meetings and are 4-1 in the last five but are off three straight home wins. Taking to the road again will prove difficult. Take CALGARY! |

Boston at Houston 8:39 ET Astros over Red Sox- After a loss in Game 1 of this series the Red Sox of this have bounced back with a pair of wins as their bats have come alive. Boston will start Rick Porcello (18-7, 4.18 ERA) who pitched an inning of relief in Game 2 and has a post season win against the Yankees. Houston will start Charlie Morton (15-3, 3.13) who is making his first post season start for a club that is 7-1 after a loss and 25-8 in their last 33 overall. Take HOUSTON! |

Minnesota at San Antonio 8:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Spurs- When thinking about what going on with these two clubs it's hard to imagine they finished the 2017-28 season with the exact same 47-35 record. We are all aware of the circus that Jimmy Butler has created for the Timberwolves while San Antonio had internal issues of their own when DeMar DeRozan was balking about being traded from Toronto. I am not a DeRozan fan and don't believe his presence makes the Spurs any better. I expect an angry and motivated Butler to be too much to handle. The last time they payed here the Spurs were -4.5 and this contest opened -1. Vegas feels the Wolves are at least 3-points better then last they met. Take MINNESOTA! |

10-16-18 | Brewers v. Dodgers -147 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
Milwaukee at L.A. Dodgers 9:05 ET Dodgers over Brewers- The Brewers (+) provided a huge underdog win for 'us' last night despite the efforts of the in-over-his-head manager Greg Council who is getting as bone-headed as the Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Bringing pitchers in for no reason other then to be seen on National TV has been Council's trait and Robert leaves pitcher in to hit in late innings trailing with tying runners on base. Tonight, LA goes with veteran Rick Hill who went 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 12 innings against the Brewers this summer. Take the DODGERS! |
|||||||
10-16-18 | Panthers +103 v. Flyers | Top | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Florida at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Panthers (+) over Flyers- Along with the Detroit Red Wings, Florida is the only other winless team in the NHL while scoring just seven goals in three games. My dreams of going 'undefeated' in the NFL season were ended after a 7-0 start by the Panthers in their home loss to Vancouver on Friday. All three of Florida's losses have come by one goal and they had the lead in each contest but failed to close the deal. Although the home team has dominated the series tonight the Panthers get into the win column. Take FLORIDA! |

10-14-18 | Astros v. Red Sox +115 | Top | 5-7 | Win | 115 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Houston at Boston 7:10 ET Red Sox over Astros- so here he is...the $250,000,000 man starting for the Red Sox with an 0-9 career playoff record with a 6.03 ERA. I am of course referring to David Price who gets the start for Boston today. Houston will go with Gerrit Cole (1-0, 1.29 ERA) has 12 strikeouts in seven innings in his first post season start and was 1-0 with a 3.46 ERA against Boston this season. Still, the Sox can't afford to go down 0-2 at home. Take BOSTON! |

10-14-18 | Jaguars v. Cowboys +3.5 | Top | 7-40 | Win | 100 | 23 h 22 m | Show |
Jacksonville at Dallas 4:25 ET Cowboys (+) over Jaguars- The Cowboys have been one of the least impressive teams on offense this season despite having the NFL's leading rusher in Ezekiel Elliott who has 480 ground yards. The obvious problem for Dallas in their quarterbacking and receiving. Dak Prescott has been exposed with his inaccurate throws and must keep drives alive with his legs. Jacksonville has QB issues of their own with Blake Bortles inconsistent play. With Leonard Fournette out once again the Dallas defense (one of the better ones) can stifle the Jaguars offense. Take DALLAS! |

10-13-18 | Colorado v. USC -7 | Top | 20-31 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show |
Colorado at Southern California 10:30 ET Trojans (-) over Rockies- My good friend Jerry called to let me know that is a game that fits a certain criteria I have about ranked teams being favored against unranked teams. What we have here is an undefeated 5-0 #18 Colorado club that is visiting USC who they have never beaten 0-12. The Buffaloes are off a bye week and have had two weeks to gloat and pat each other on the back. This week they are up against a Trojan team that was off to a slow start and has began to put it together winning their last two conference games and are ready here. Add that Colorado is 1-6 ATS after a bye. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

10-13-18 | Astros v. Red Sox -111 | Top | 7-2 | Loss | -111 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
Houston at Boston 8:09 ET Red Sox over Astros- As a former New York Yankees' season ticket holder you have no idea how much this selection hurts me. Having to take the Red Sox pains me until I get the final score and 'collect.' Justin Verlander (1-0, 3.38 ERA) worked five hitless innings against Cleveland in the opening of the Division series and will up against an equally impressive playoff performer Chris Sale (1-0, 2.84) who struck-out eight in 5.1 innings in his playoffs action against the Yankees. Look I hate to do it but 'Beantown' is the side. Take BOSTON! |

10-13-18 | Central Florida v. Memphis +5.5 | Top | 31-30 | Win | 100 | 21 h 40 m | Show |
Central Florida at Memphis 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Knights- Do any of you guys remember last years shoot-out as Central Florida won and covered as the home favorite (-6.5) 62-55. Well, Scott Frost (0-5 at Nebraska) is gone and nothing has changed for the Knights as they are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS laying an average 26 points per game. Memphis is averaging over 46 points and is led by Brady White who is at 69.2 completions along with Darrell Henderson leads the ACC in rushing and averages 11.8 points per game. The home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 and the Knights are 1-4 ATS in their last five at Memphis. Take the TIGERS! |

Saskatchewan at Winnipeg 2:00 ET Blue Bombers (-) over Roughriders- Saskatchewan has won seven of their last eight straight-up and now they show up as an underdog to the Blue Bombers who have won and 'covered' their last three. The Roughriders are 2-0 this season against the Bomber and winning in Winnipeg 32-27 as a 4-point dog. This time Bombers will avoid the 'Hat-Trick.' Take WINNIPEG! |

10-13-18 | Nebraska +4 v. Northwestern | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 72 h 18 m | Show |
Nebraska at Northwestern 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Wildcats- Okay what's going on here. The opening line on this matchup was Northwestern -9 and in one swoop the number dropped to 3.5 and that is mostly due fact (I believe) that the Cornhuskers (0-5) are ready to win. Nebraska has been able to move the ball of late gaining over 500 yards in each of their last two contests (first time since 2007 that they had back-to-back 500 yards on offense. Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez accounted for 441 total yards setting a freshman school record against Wisconsin and will lead this team to their first win of the season. Take NEBRASKA! |

10-11-18 | Texas Tech v. TCU -7 | Top | 17-14 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
Texas Tech at Texas Christian 7:30 ET Horned Frogs (-) over Red Raiders- From what I've seen of these two clubs these 'price' is way high in my minds eye. Texas Tech is averaging 48.4 points per game and yet have a pair of losses to West Virginia and Mississippi (?). TCU is also 3-2 but has been totally unimpressive to date going 2-3 ATS with losses to Ohio State and Texas. The Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after a bye week and the Frogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four conference games. Trends all one sided and yet the line invites Tech action. No for me...take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

Columbus at Florida 7:00 ET Panthers (-) over Blue Jackets- After winning their last five pre-season games Florida gained a point by scoring just a single goal in their 2-1 (shoot out) loss to Tampa Bay. Tonight the Panthers celebrate their 25th year and live their home ice going 27-11-3 last season. This has been a home & home series as the hosts are 7-1 in the last eight meetings and the Blue Jackets are 1-4 in the last five at Florida. Take the PANTHERS! |

Philadelphia at Ottawa 7:30 ET Flyers (-) over Senators- Philadelphia who opened the season with a rousing win against Vegas and have fallen short the past two games getting out-scored 13-4 in the process. Now, after getting totally humiliated at home last night (trailed 4-0 in the first period) the Flyers take to the road where they posted their lone win on the season and are surprising favorite as they are just 9-21-3 in their last 33 meetings in Ottawa. But, in a more recent trends the Senators are just 1-6 in their last seven home games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

10-09-18 | Red Sox v. Yankees -117 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -117 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Boston at New York Yankees 8:05 ET Yankees over Red Sox- Boston showed the Yankees and the rest of the AL why and how they won 108 regular season games Monday. The Red Sox have one of the best balanced lineup in baseball and will send native New Yorker Rick Porcello (17-7, 4.38 ERA) who was 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA against New York this season but is 0-3 with a 5.33 ERA in 12 post-season starts. CC Sabathia (10-6, 4.20) is 8-3 with a 3.26 ERA in 18 postseason appearances including 6-0 with a 3.32 ERA in ALDS starts. Add that the Yankees are 7-1 on their last eight home playoff games.

San Jose at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Sharks over Flyers- The Flyers will open their home schedule tonight hosting the San Jose Sharks and will be without their off-season acquisition Van Riemsdyk who was their big free agent signing. Philadelphia open the season with a huge win in Las Vegas and then fell to Colorado 5-2 last time out on Saturday. San Jose is 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS to date and yet are a pick'em in Philly and past history may be the reason as the Sharks are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings in Philadelphia and they are 18-3-2 in the last 23 meetings. Take SAN JOSE! |

10-08-18 | Astros v. Indians -122 | Top | 11-3 | Loss | -122 | 19 h 47 m | Show |
Houston at Cleveland 1:30 ET Indians over Astros- Unlike the Rockies I expect the Indians to return home and get some base hits, especially against the one pitcher who has had an off-season for Houston. Dallas Keuchel (12-11,3.74 ERA) finished the regular season going 1-1 with a 5.76 ERA and struggled against the Indians this summer surrendering six runs in 11 innings. Cleveland will start Mike Clevinger (13-8, 3.02) who did finish strong going 6-1 with a 2.17 ERA in 11 starts. AT home he have been great at hoe going 7-3 with a 3.14 ERA in 17 starts. Take the INDIANS! |

Vegas at Buffalo 3:00 ET Sabers (+) over Golden Knights- These two met twice last season with Vegas wining both contests one in overtime (5-4) the other in a shootout (2-1). The Golden Knights took the NHL by storm last season and many established clubs were slow to adjust to their team speed and heart. Vegas got off the mark quickly last season and only started coming back to the pack in the latter stages of the season and of course lost in the Finals to Washington. They are 0-5 in their last five against the Eastern Conference. Take BUFFALO! |

10-07-18 | Maple Leafs -139 v. Blackhawks | Top | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Toronto at Chicago 7:00 ET Maple Leafs over Blackhawks- For the most part the Maple Leafs have become the 'dark horse' to surprise the rest of the NHL and it would be a surprise as Toronto hasn't won the 'Cup' since 1967. Chicago has opened 2-0 firing on all cylinders posting a pair of road wins scoring nine goals in those two overtime wins. Speaking of overtimes the last four meeting between these two has gone overtime with each winning a pair. Toronto is 6-1 in their last seven against the West and the Blackhawks are 1-5 in their last six home games. Take the MAPLE LEAFS! |

Milwaukee at Colorado 4:37 ET Rockies over Brewers- Milwaukee is on a streak in the playoffs that only a few have enjoyed as they have posted 10 straight wins going back to the regular season and can move to the Championship series with a win today. Colorado has hate to play four games against three different teams in three different cities in five days, now they return home where they play better as their batting averages climb. German Marquez (14-11, 377 ERA) get the start for the home clubs and he has been outstanding striking out 230 in less then 200 innings and has not allowed more then three runs in any of his last 13 starts. Take COLORADO! |

L.A. Rams at Seattle 4:25 ET Seahawks (+) over Rams- I don't know how I can even think of taking this 'side' as I believe the Seahawks are on the downslide while we all realize the Rams are the team to beat. Los Angeles is undefeated 4-0 and 3-1 ATS and have the betting darling from the get-go leading the NFL in scoring averaging 35-points per game. Seattle has put wins together over powerhouses Dallas and Arizona and is just 1-2-1 ATS but have allowed just 30 points in last two contests. Checking past history the Rams are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Seattle although they are just 1-6-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Still, somehow...take SEAHAWKS! |

Tennessee at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (+) over Titans- Okay, now that the 'public' has jumped on the Tennessee bandwagon it is time to tip the cart. After an opening week loss at Miami the Titans have won three streak including their win over the Super Bowl Champs Philadelphia last week and they come into the Bills den and the are angry. Buffalo has shutout 22-0 ay Green Bay and was humiliated in the process. This remember was a playoff team a season ago and pounded the Vikings three weeks ago. Buffalo is 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a loss. Take them here...take the BILLS! |

Baltimore at Cleveland 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Ravens- From what I've seen on the field Baltimore has been the most consistent and more professional in their approach to games and play. Cleveland is way improved on the field but still has the same personal running the show and he just doesn't know how to win! This has been a one-sided series with the Ravens winning 18 of the last 20 including 5-0 SU/ATS in the last five meetings, but with new quarterbacking behind No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield (the new Brett Favre) the Browns believe that they can turn the tide. Browns might surprise here as they have nothing but this game to look forward to. Take CLEVELAND! |

No. 24 Virginia Tech who opened the season with a dominating win over Florida state only to be upset by 27-point underdog Old Dominion as the lost their starting quarterback Josh Jackson. The Irish have made a change of their own at QB but voluntarily inserted in Ian Book place of Brandon Wimbush and Book has responded with 74.3% completions while throwing for 525 yards. The Hokies once again see this as an opportunity to crack the Top-10 and move up in the nation scene. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Today they will start Carlos Carrasco (17-10, 3.38 ERA) who closed the season with an impressive outing against Kansas City after three previous losses while Houston will counter with Gerrit Cole (15-5, 2.81) who won his last five regular season appearances.

Utah State at Brigham Young 9:00 ET Aggies (+) over Cougars- Okay, Kenny this one is yours! But, I'm on board 100%. When the season opened the Vegas odds-makers had little regard for BYU making them a 10-point dog at Arizona (Wildcats are terrible) and then a 23-point underdog at Wisconsin, but two road upset wins have changed their impression. Now, after losing in 'our' Blow-out' GOY (they were on the short end 35-7 to Washington) they come up a meager favorite at home against an intra-state rival. Utah State ( 3-1, 4-0 ATS) who has been a doormat for the most part as far as college football is concerned is averaging 51.5 points a game and is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips the BYU. Note this is a state rival and the underdog is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings. Take UTAH STATE! |

WE know how dominating he can be as his number tell the tale only 102 hits surrendered in 158 innings while throwing to a WHIP of 0.86. The Red Sox didn't allow his to do much in the closing weeks but believe me if he is starting this game he is ready. Yankees' bats aren't geared for this...take BOSTON! |

I expect a bit of a letdown after an opening game route and Pittsburgh is ready to take on the champs. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Colorado at Milwaukee 5:07 ET Brewers over Rockies- It looks like Greg Counsell will take the Oakland A's route by starting a reliever in Game 1 of the NL Division Playoffs with one minor difference. Bob Melvin started 'his' relievers in an elimination game where every action is considered to win, whereas the Brewers are just starting a Best-of-5 series. Milwaukee has the advantage of home field but in is more then that, Colorado is going to play their four game in five days in four different cities and the wear could slow them down today. The Brewers were 5-2 against the Rockies this summer and did end up with the best record in the NL. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Although Boston had the better overall record last season with more wins and points (112-105) then the Caps but they have been 'dead meat' when playing against the Champs. Washington has won 12 straight regular-season games over the past four seasons and win against here tonight. On the money line...take WASHINGTON! |

Colorado at Chicago 8:00 ET Rockies over Cubs- In a very unusual situation both these clubs had an opportunity to win their respective divisions yesterday and must now after losing will play a one-and-done Wild Card elimination match. The ironic thing is that both these clubs had the division lead with three games remaining and were able to hold off the Dodgers and Brewers. Colorado will start Kyle Freeland (17-7, 2.85 ERA) who closed the season with 11 straight quality starts going 8-0 with a 2.18 ERA. Jon Lester (18-6, 3.32) who is also hot finishing the season 6-1 with a 1.71 ERA over his last eight starts. But, he is 1-3 in five starts against the Rockies. It's been a struggle for Chicago of late while Colorado won nine of 10 before their loss to Los Angeles Monday. Take the ROCKIES! |

10-01-18 | Chiefs v. Broncos +4.5 | Top | 27-23 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Kansas City at Denver 8:20 ET Broncos (+) over Chiefs- Yep, what more can I or anyone say about Pat MaHomes! Kansas City has jumped out to a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS scoring 38-42-38 with Mahomes throwing for 10 TD's with no interceptions. Denver opened 2-0 with west coast wins over Oakland and Seattle but took it on the chin 27-14 back east at Baltimore. Now, the Broncos are on familiar grounds where the decibel level is a loud a any NFL stadium but, the Chiefs are 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five meetings and seem invincible right now. But, this is a tough spot for a division team on the road on Monday Night with all the attention of the football world on them. I have got to have...DENVER! |

09-30-18 | Bucs +3 v. Bears | Top | 10-48 | Loss | -103 | 23 h 24 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Chicago 1:00 ET Buccaneers (+) over Bears- I understand the impact of the Bears defense and their power running game but they still have a major weakness and that is their quarterback play. The Chicago offense is limited because of the things Mitchell Trubisky can't do. Tampa Bay on the other hand most likely will go with their veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick with Jamis Winston in the wings. The games has before an air war and here the Bears are out-armed. Buccaneers have thrown for 1,202 yards while Chicago has managed just 534 yards through the air. Chicago has won their last two but the Bucs are 5-0 ATS in their last five against the NFC. Take TAMPA BAY! |

09-29-18 | BYU v. Washington -16.5 | Top | 7-35 | Win | 100 | 29 h 32 m | Show |
Brigham Young at Washington 8:30 ET Huskies (-) over Cougars- Whoa...whoa! What's is this 'number' supposed to be? A pair of 3-1 clubs with mirror image ATS record with BYU 3-1 and Washington 1-3 ATS. This match-up makes me sweat as I hate to lay points like this but there are too many positive factors to ignore. The bad stuff is BYU is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and the Huskies are 0-4 in their last four non-conference games. Okay, that's out of the way and I don't care about it because this 'number' is so outrageous it takes precedence over everything. The Cougars have posted impressive wins over Arizona 28-23, Wisconsin 24-21 and last week 30-3 over McNeese State. And that's what going to hurt them. Washington had a toughie last week against Arizona State winning 27-20 but have won three straight since Auburn and are gaining momentum. I don't expect this price to rise but to drop. The fact that this is the FOX-TV game rises my expectations. Take WASHINGTON! |

09-29-18 | BC v. Hamilton -7 | Top | 10-40 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
British Columbia at Hamilton 4:00 ET Tiger-Cats (-) over Lions- This line looks a little over inflated as Hamilton is just 6-7 and 5-6-1 ATS while BC is 6-6 and 7-4 ATS. The Tigers-Cats have dropped their last two and lost the first game of the series last week with the Lions winning 35-32 in OT at home. I see Hamilton getting a bit of revenge here as such a strong favorite in their own backyard. Lay the points and take HAMILTON! |

09-28-18 | Toronto v. Calgary -13 | Top | 16-38 | Win | 100 | 76 h 40 m | Show |
Toronto at Calgary Stampeders (-) over Argonauts- Bad spot for Toronto as the Stampeders are off a bye and ready to make their late season push. The Argonauts who are 0-5 on the road are off a disappointing 30-29 loss to Saskatchewan while Calgary 6-0 at home are rested and have already pasted the Argos in June 41-7. Add that Toronto is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 Friday games. Take CALGARY! |

09-26-18 | Dodgers -115 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 2-7 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 9 m | Show |
LA Dodgers at Arizona 9:40 ET Dodgers over Diamondbacks- The Dodgers hold a half-game lead over Colorado in the NL West but are threatened by St. Louis for the final Wild Card spot. It's not that complicated but the Dodgers still need to win with just four games to go. Arizona has fallen by the wayside during crunch time winning just four of their last 17 games to fall 8-games behind Los Angeles and Colorado. The Dodgers will start Ross Stripling (8-5, 2.84 ERA) who has lost three straight decisions and is just 0-3 with a 5.19 ERA at Chase field. But, Arizona is sending their best Zack Greinke (14-11, 3.21) to the hill and the game is a virtual pick-em and he is just 2-6 since August. Take the DODGERS! |

09-24-18 | A's v. Mariners -127 | Top | 7-3 | Loss | -127 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
Oakland and Seattle 10:10 ET Mariners over A's- The Athletics have finished their home schedule 50-31 and must finish with six games on the road against the Mariners and Angels. Oakland trails New York for the first Wild Card spot and need just one more victory to clinch their place in the post season. The Mariners have had their way with the A's as they are 17-8 in the last 25 meetings and 8-2 in the last 10 in Seattle. The Mariners will start Jim (No-hit) Paxton (11-6, 3.83 ERA who needs just six strikeouts for 200 on the season. Take SEATTLE! |

09-23-18 | Patriots v. Lions +7 | Top | 10-26 | Win | 100 | 29 h 32 m | Show |
New England at Detroit 8:20 ET Lions (+) over Patriots- You don't have to check this out but I believe that the former Bill Belichik coaches struggle when put up against their mentor. So, from what I have seen out of first coach Hank Patricia's work I question weather he will make it as a head coach. I sort of feel that the only way for the Lions to win is for Belichick to give Patrica his game plan. Although New England has problems of their own, Brady not-withstanding. The Lions showed plenty of life in the second half against the Niners and came close to winning but earned a 'back-door' cover. More of the same tonight...Take DETROIT! |

09-23-18 | Packers v. Redskins +3 | Top | 17-31 | Win | 100 | 21 h 6 m | Show |
Green Bay at Washington 1:00 ET Redskins (+) over Packers- I've been right twice with and against the Redskins and I really like the my side here today. Green Bay was a huge money-maker for the Books last week as the Vikings were driven to the favorite by public and wise guy action both. Of course the Packers have the current Superman in Rogers at quarterback but Washington has veterans of their win that can cut the mustard and Alex Smith is just 20 shy of Rogers total and will be primed to atone for last weeks home loss. The host team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take WASHINGTON! |

09-22-18 | Stanford v. Oregon +3 | Top | 38-31 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 44 m | Show |
Stanford at Oregon 8:00 ET Ducks (+) over Cardinal- Man, where's Chip Kelly when you need him...(getting killed at UCLA). Oregon was a Pac-12 power under Kelly getting the Championship game before falling to Auburn and Cam Newtown, anyway after pounding three nobodies scoring 155 points while going 3-0. Stanford will have the return of running back Bryce Love the Heisman candidate who missed the thriller against UC Davis (30-10). Ducks have scored 43 points per game the 18 contests and are looking to avenge last years 49-7 loss at Stanford. Take OREGON! |

09-22-18 | Michigan State v. Indiana +6 | Top | 35-21 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 40 m | Show |
Michigan State at Indiana 7:30 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- This could have been at match-up of unbeaten's if the Spartans hadn't just totally fell apart in the fourth quarter two weeks ago at Arizona State blowing a late 13-3 lead. Indiana is 3-0 SU, 1-2 ATS having struggled against the number covering as a favorite for the first time last time out against Ball State. Last season the Hoosiers snatched defeat in the jaws of victory at Michigan in their 19-7 loss and look to atone against a Michigan State team that may not be as strong as predicted. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take INDIANA! |

09-22-18 | TCU v. Texas +4 | Top | 16-31 | Win | 100 | 23 h 25 m | Show |
Texas Christian at Texas 4:30 ET Longhorns (+) over Horned Frogs- After cashing in with both these clubs last Saturday I still see a winner between them Saturday afternoon. Texas worn down the youthful USC squad in the second half and won 37-14 in a crushing win that coach Tom Herman said was much needed to understand the energy needed to win. TCU gave 'us' a major effort and could have actually defeated Ohio State if not for two late INT's. There is no doubt in my head who the better team is as TCU has won the last four meetings by and average of 30 points. But, the Frogs are off an emotion home loss to the Buckeyes and may be a little 'down.' In a surprise take...TEXAS! |

09-21-18 | Red Sox v. Indians -128 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -128 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
Boston at Cleveland 7:10 ET Indians over Red Sox- It took 153 games of which Boston won 104 before they clinched the AL East. (HA). The Red Sox have been great all season long and the sealed the AL Eastern Division with a 11-6 win over the Yankees yesterday. I expect a little letdown for a week or so. Tonight, Boston will start Chris Sale (12-4, 1.92 ERA) and he just wen three innings in his last start as they prepare him for the playoffs. Cleveland will start Trevor Bauer (12-6, 2.22) who is 6-1 with a 1.87 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 12 home starts. Take CLEVELAND! |

09-20-18 | Jets +3 v. Browns | Top | 17-21 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
New York Jets at Cleveland 8:20 ET Jets over Browns- Okay, here we go! Here we have a team that has won once in their last 35 tries (0-1-1) and they are favored against the 1-1 New York Jets. Many were hoping (especially the NFL Network) that the two No.1 picks Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield would have a shootout here but the overall No. 1 pick for the Browns will be taking a seat for veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor who is at just 53% completions while the rookie for the Jets is at 66%. I just don't respect the idea that a winless team (into their third season) is favored and the 'public' is all over them. Take the NEW YORK J-E-T-S! |

09-20-18 | Red Sox v. Yankees -160 | Top | 11-6 | Loss | -160 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
Boston at New York Yankees 7:50 ET Yankees over Red Sox- I guess 'turn-about-is-fair-play' and the Yankees look to atone for their four game disaster at Fenway Park in August. Boston need one more win to clinch the AL East but the Yankees are making them suffer a bit as they look to sweep this three-game series at Yankee Stadium. Masahiro Tanaka (1205, 3.47 ERA) has a current 20 inning scoreless streak and has allowed two earned runs or fewer in nine of his last 11 starts and he is 8-4 in 17 career starts against the Red Sox. Aaron Judge is back and that makes the Yankees that much better. Take NEW YORK! |

Chicago at Arizona 9:40 ET Diamondbacks over Cubs- Just when the games become most meaningful the Diamondbacks are hitting the skids and not baseballs as they have lost their last four while the Cubs who are struggling with relief pitcher injuries are keeping pace. Chicago is set to start Cole Hamels (9-9, 3.67 ERA) who is 4-0 since coming over from Texas with a 1.57 ERA. Arizona will start Robbie Ray (5-2, 4.14) who is 2-0 in his last 11 starts. The Cubs may not need their relief pitchers as their starters have a 2.53 ERA since August 16 but they won't have enough tonight. Take ARIZONA! |

LA Dodgers at St. Louis 8:05 ET Dodgers over Cardinals- In the tight NL Wild Card chase the Dodgers in three days have gone for the outside looking in to the top spot in the West. Los Angels has now won four straight while St. Louis has taken a different road and have lost their last four. A pair of pitchers recently off the disabled list take the hill tonight, for the Dodgers it will be Ross Stripling (8-3, 2.61 ERA) and for the Cardinals it is Adam Wainwright (1-3, 4.70). For LA ,Stripling is making his eighth straight road start and just his second since off the DL while Wainwright is also making just his second start off the DL. The Cards started haven't made it back yet as he is 0-2 with a 5.74 ERA in three starts at home. Take the DODGERS! |

09-16-18 | Chiefs v. Steelers -4.5 | Top | 42-37 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 47 m | Show |
Kansas City at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET Steelers (-) over Chiefs- I don't quite understand why the rush to pay against the Steelers. Could be the response of then tie against Cleveland or many be more the absence of 'what's his name.' interceptions and six overall turnovers are the explanation. Pittsburgh has a 14-point lead in the fourth but gave up the ball and came away with the tie, and they will be more then ready against the Chiefs this week. But, ha here comes the Chiefs on the warpath with fearless leader Pat Mahomes who threw for four TD's last week. In a matter of performances the Steelers out-gained the Browns by 155 yards while Kansas City although a winner were out-gained by 180 yards. LAY IT...PITTSBURGH! |

Arizona State at San Diego State 10:30 ET Aztecs (+) over Sun Devils- Do Sun Devils come out at night...not this week! There are some many reasons to be 'against' Arizona State (Herm Edwards aside). Rocky Long's San Diego State squad is a little banged-up but he always manages to have his troops ready when playing against the PAC-12 where he is 5-1-1 ATS as a home dog. Note, that ASU is 1-5 ATS in their last six against the Mountain West and worst then that for them they fall into a 8-27 ATS go 'against' trend being 2-0 SU and favored on the road in Game 3. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |
