11-23-19 | Pistons v. Bucks -12 | 90-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo has never averaged six assists in a season but that could change this year as he continues to improve his MVP game. The Bucks try for their seventh straight victory when they host the Detroit Pistons on Saturday with coach Mike Budenholzer continuing to create opportunities for Antetokounmpo to make his teammates better. Milwaukee is 18-2 versus the Central Division since the start of 2018-19. |

11-23-19 | Predators v. Blues -115 | 4-2 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Predators have been carved up for 30 goals during their tailspin after surrendering five power-play tallies in Thursday's 6-3 home loss to Vancouver. The Blues are perched atop the Central and own the best record in the Western Conference after earning points in 13 of their last 15 games (11-2-2) and winning two straight following a 5-0 drubbing of Calgary on Thursday. The balance of power has shifted in the series, with St. Louis winning the past four meetings after Nashville prevailed in the previous five. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Tennessee +4 v. Missouri | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 94 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The drop in production of a Tiger "O" has been astounding. The loss of Clemson transfer QB Bryant has triggered their fall, as they've come from scoring 33+ points in 20-of-26 games to managing just 14, 7, 0, & 6 points in their last 4 outings, all of which were spread losses, by the way. The Vols, on the other hand, have turned things completely around. Opened at 0-4 ATS, & 20-5 SU, they're now on a 5-0 spread run, as well as on a 4-1 SU run. Stats may not look all that pretty, but learning how to win has been ingrained in them, Not about to get off this train. |

11-23-19 | Magic v. Pacers -6.5 | 106-111 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers are winners of eight of their last 11 games and are coming off a dominating performance at Brooklyn on Wednesday in a 115-86 victory. The Pacers will try to pick on an injured opponent and tick off another win when they host the Orlando Magic today. Indiana could not keep pace at Houston and was knocked off at home by the Milwaukee Bucks before stepping up in Brooklyn behind career highs of 24 points and 13 assists from shooting guard Aaron Holiday, who was pressed into point guard duties due to injuries to Malcolm Brogdon and T.J. McConnell. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Wild v. Bruins -209 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins are the lone NHL club that has yet to lose in regulation at home while the Minnesota Wild are the only team in the league with 10 regulation defeats away from home. Judging by those numbers, the Bruins have to like their chances of extending their 12-game point streak at TD Garden when they host the Wild tonight. The Bruins improved to 8-0-4 at home with a 3-2 victory over Buffalo on Thursday night and also have history on their side against Minnesota, winning the past four meetings and posting a pair of shutouts last season. The Wild already have played a league-high 14 games away from home and won only four times (4-10-0) and now have to play their next three on the road. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Memphis -14 v. South Florida | 49-10 | Win | 100 | 91 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Don't look now, but the unnoticed Tigers hold the #18 ranking in this week's polls, as well they should, as they are just a field goal from a perfect record, with their only blip a 2-point loss at Temple, in a game in which they turned it over FOUR times, & we certainly don't have to explain the importance of that. QB White ranks 7th in the land in passing efficiency (28 touchdowns with 5 interceptions), with 5 TDs in last week's 45-17 rout of Houston, after trailing, 17-7. Bulls in off blowing a 10-point 4th quarter lead to Houston, losing in final 0:00, ranking 106th in total offense. Tigers! |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Purdue v. Wisconsin -23.5 | 24-45 | Loss | -115 | 91 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Badgers needed 3 OTs to take Boilers last year, but should have little trouble this time around, despite the fact that the dog is on a 6-0 ATS run Purdue tilts. Boilers can't run (double digits 6 times). Wisconsin fields 12th, 3rd, 6th, 4th, & 3rd run, pass, scoring, total, & pass efficiency "D"s. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Air Force -21.5 v. New Mexico | Top | 44-22 | Win | 100 | 93 h 8 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week Falcons smoking. Are +70½ points ATS 4-of-last-5, & at 313 rushing yards per game, with Hammond clicking on 31, 50, 28 yard TD passes vs Colorado State. Lobos are 2-13 ATS, with the worst passing "D" in the nation. Romper! |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Penn State v. Ohio State -17.5 | Top | 17-28 | Loss | -117 | 87 h 5 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Big-10 Play of the Day Finally an ATS loss for the Bucks, in 56-21 romp over Rutgers (49-7 in 3rd). Fields a nice 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, & now 31 touchdowns with 1 interception for the season. So Ohio State has a 621-161 point edge in L11 regular season games. Nits in off 462-371 yard deficit vs Indy, with 2 of their 4 covers this year coming by 1 & 2 points. By the book |
|||||||
11-23-19 | East Carolina -14 v. Connecticut | 31-24 | Loss | -109 | 87 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Huskies' journey to futility not encumbered here. Are on a 3-24 SU slide, with a 104-13 point deficit in their last 2 outings. Rank 113th & 115th in total" O" & "D". Shaky Pirate "D" offset by reborn "O" (43-46 & 51-59 finals L2), with Ahlers in off 498 passing yards & 6 touchdowns with 0 interceptions vs Smu. |
|||||||
11-20-19 | Toledo v. Buffalo -7.5 | 30-49 | Win | 100 | 27 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bulls must regroup off blowing 28-7 lead in 4th to Kent, despite 245-119 rushing yard edge, pushing host to 7-1-1 ATS in Buffalo games. Rockets are a losing play as road dogs although on a 22-11 ATS run |
|||||||
11-19-19 | Oilers +122 v. Sharks | 5-2 | Win | 122 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Edmonton is 4-1 in its last five as an underdog, and San Jose is coming closer and closer to a flat spot after reeling off six straight victories. Note that the Sharks had lost five on the bounce prior to their current winning streak, and this should be a tough one against the division-leading Oilers. Edmonton is 6-4-1 on the road and has been red hot on the power play in recent games. Additionally, it will be seeking revenge for a 6-3 loss here in the Shark Tank a week ago. |
|||||||
11-19-19 | Warriors v. Grizzlies -6 | 114-95 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Memphis was done in by Denver's 44-17 second quarter on Sunday but consecutive wins at San Antonio and Charlotte plus a home win over Utah prior to the Denver game shows that Memphis may be better than expected this season. Ja Morant was chosen second in the 2019 NBA Draft and leads the team in scoring (18.4) and assists (6.0). Mike Conley, who? SF Jackson was the 4th pick of the 2018 draft and is averaging 14.5 & 5.3. Brooks is adding 13.4, former Toronto center Valanciunas is averaging almost a double-double at 12.8 & 9.4 plus Gonzaga rookie Brandon Clarke is averaging 12.3 & 6.3 (he's shooting 37-fof-50 from the floor over his last six games). |
|||||||
11-19-19 | Bruins -136 v. Devils | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 1 center Patrice Bergeron (lower body) sat out Saturday's game and did not practice Monday, but there was some good news on the injury front for Boston. Jake DeBrusk (lower body), a 27-goal scorer last season, returned to practice Monday after sitting out five contests and is listed as a game-time decision along with fellow forward Brett Ritchie, who also rejoined the team. Forward Brad Marchand has 20 points in 30 games versus the Devils after collecting a goal and an assist last month. Goaltender Cory Schneider, a two-time All-Star with New Jersey, was placed on waivers Monday and will be sent to Binghamtom if he goes unclaimed. Schneider made six appearances this season and has been dogged by injuries the previous two seasons. Bruins G Tuukka Rask is 9-4-2 with a 1.34 goals-against average and four shutouts versus New Jersey. |
|||||||
11-18-19 | Chiefs -4.5 v. Chargers | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chiefs got the division and home field on a tie-breaker with the Bolts last year. Now the Chargers are 2 games below 500. After starting 4-0, Chiefs have lost 4 of 6. All 4 losses have come by less than 7 points. How about Mahomes numbers though? 36-50, 446 yards and 3 TDs (3, 11, 63 yarders). Chargers couldn't get that last stop when they needed it. Three Rivers' picks (including a Pick 6) did the Bolts in last week. He was 0-7 on their last drive. Had a 34:10-25:50 time of possession edge in that brutal loss in Oakland. KC is now healthier |
|||||||
11-18-19 | Ducks v. Capitals -218 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A high price to lay with the Caps tonight, but even higher is the likelihood they win this game. Over the weekend, they picked up a hard-fought win in Boston (went to a shootout). That win prevented them from dropping B2B games for the first time since they were 2-1-2 just five games into the season. Since then, they've gone 13-2-2, scored more goals than anyone and generally looked like best team in the league. Anaheim also won its last game, 4-1 in St. Louis. But preceding that win was a five-game losing streak, all of the losses coming on home ice. Winning B2B road games against the two teams that played in LY's Stanley Cup Final seems like a tall order for a team that simply doesn't score much. While the Ducks have played one less game than the Capitials, they've scored 27 fewer goals. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Bears +7 v. Rams | 7-17 | Loss | -130 | 26 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This contest had the look of a playoff preview, but the Bears are a full 3 games behind the Packers. However, a week ago, they snapped their 3 game losing streak, with Trubisky finally crawling out of the doldrums, by posting a season high 3 TD passes, with no picks. Only his 3rd game with 3+ TDs & no interceptions. The Rams are nearly in the same predicament (5-4 record), & enter this one without a TD in their last 19 possessions, managing just 3 offensive points at Pittsburgh. We'll grab the the points in this. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Sabres v. Blackhawks -133 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jack Eichel took it upon himself to lift the proverbial monkey off his team’s back Saturday as the Sabres captain scored all four goals in a 4-2 victory over Ottawa that gave Buffalo a win for the first time in more than three weeks. The Sabres will look to build some momentum after snapping a six-game winless streak (0-5-1) when they visit a Chicago Blackhawks squad which is coming off a 7-2 drubbing of Nashville on Saturday. Chicago’s victory Saturday gave them a 5-1-1 record in their last seven games after going 1-4-2 in the seven prior. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Patriots -4 v. Eagles | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 23 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units What a Super Bowl these 2 had just 2 years ago. The Pats simply have kept it going, while the Eagles are struggling to make it back to the playoffs. Both teams coming in off their bye. The 13-game Patriot winning streak is over, as they were on the receiving end of Baltimore's smash mouth attack 2 weeks ago, with a time of possession deficit of 37:01-22:59. When you give up 210 rushing yards, that'll happen. Two straight wins for Philly, averaging 182 rushing yards, while allowing only 13.5 points per game in those 2 Ws. Have won 6-of-7 home games, & Wentz has thrown a TD pass in 12 straight games. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Texans v. Ravens -4 | 7-41 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Awesome matchup here, with 2 of the more exciting QBs going head-to-head. Five straight wins for the Ravens,& 2nd road win by 36+ points this season, as Jackson is completely changing the way the QB position is being played in the NFL. Four more TDs for him, with his only incomplete pass in the first half vs Cincinnati, coming on a spike. Note his electrifying 47-yard TD run, with 17, 89, & 20 yard scoring passes, throwing only 2 incompletions. For Texans, Watson was 22-for-28 vs the Jags. First player ever with 17+ TD passes & 5+ TD rushes thru the 1st 9 games of the season. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Jets +2.5 v. Redskins | 34-17 | Win | 100 | 19 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the first time in their 88-year history, the Redskins have gone 3 straight games without a TD. Keenum or Haskins, it doesn't matter. Worst start (1-8) since '98. Timeless Peterson: 18 carries for 108 yards. That's his 56th game with 100+ rushing yards (9th all-time). Fifth time this year with 9 points, or fewer, for the 'Skins. Check Jet win over Giants, holding Barkley to just 1 yard on 13 carries (worst game of his young career). Darnold a 24-yard run, longest of the year by any Jet! 'Skins are 1-7 ATS off their bye. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Falcons +4.5 v. Panthers | 29-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Six-game slide is over for the Falcons, with 6 sacks from a Falcon "D", after entering that one with 7 total sacks for the season. Out rushed the Saints, 143-52, & Austin Hooper's 4th straight game with a TD, welcoming Matty back: 25-of-35 & 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. For the Panthers, just one inch, one lousy inch from a potential game-tying TD at the gun. For McCaffrey, another 108 rushing yards, & 2nd only to Dalvin Cook in rushing (991-989). Panther "D" added 2 more sacks, which brings their season total to a league-leading 36. Falcons 6-1 ATS as dogs off a SU win, as well as 3-0 ATS against Carolina lately. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | USC v. California +4.5 | 41-17 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bear "D" back in business after temporary failure at Utah. Cal has now held 15-of-16 teams to 24 points or less (led highly potent Washington State, 33-14, in eventual 33-20 upset). Last 3 Troy road games: 27-30, 35-31, 31-26. Can't run, but 432 Slovis passing yards in last weeks loss to Arizona St. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Hawks v. Clippers -10.5 | 101-150 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Clippers expect to get Kawhi Leonard and Paul George onto the court together for the first time this season when they host the Atlanta Hawks today. George returned from surgery on both shoulders in the Clippers' 132-127 loss at New Orleans on Thursday, but Leonard sat out on the second night of a back-to-back as part of his load management regimen. George showed little rust on the offensive end and looked like the MVP candidate he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder last season while scoring 33 points on 10-of-17 shooting in 24 minutes. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Avalanche +125 v. Canucks | 5-4 | Win | 125 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The fast start to the season has slowed to a crawl for the upstart Vancouver Canucks, who answered a blistering 9-1-2 run with losses in five of their last six contests (1-4-1). The Canucks aim to regain their footing today when they conclude their four-game homestand against the Colorado Avalanche. Vancouver matched the goal total during its four-game losing skid in Tuesday's 5-3 victory versus Nashville before struggling to ignite its offense two nights later in a 4-2 setback against Dallas. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Ducks v. Blues -155 | 4-1 | Loss | -155 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units St. Louis has gotten accustomed to playing in tight games as seven of its last nine contests have gone beyond three periods with the Blues coming away with victories in five. St. Louis returns home riding a nine-game point streak (7-0-2) thanks to Ryan O’Reilly, David Perron and captain Alex Pietrangelo, who each contributed 11 points during the stretch. Pietrangelo saw his four-game point streak end Friday but the 12-year veteran still sits among the top 10 among defensemen in goals (six) and points (17). |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Blackhawks +165 v. Predators | 7-2 | Win | 165 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chicago Blackhawks have finally discovered an offensive groove, reversing a trend from early in the season when they managed to score more than three goals only once in a span of a dozen games. The Blackhawks have won three of their last four, scoring five goals in each of the wins, and hope to carry the momentum into tonight's matchup at the Nashville Predators. Chicago spotted host Vegas an early two-goal lead before erupting for five unanswered tallies Wednesday to extend its point streak to four games (3-0-1). |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Louisville -3.5 v. NC State | Top | 34-20 | Win | 100 | 72 h 54 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit ACC Play of the Day - A 3-0 turn over deficit did the Cards in at Miami, losing 52-27, despite a nicely balanced 496-449-yard edge. On 5-15 ATS run, while ranking 28th in total "O". Horrid 'Pack run continues: 1-6 ATS by 83 points, with a 144-44 pt deficit L3 games. Can't see a change |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Stanford v. Washington State -10 | Top | 22-49 | Win | 100 | 69 h 54 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit PAC-12 Game of the Week Coogs comfortable at home (58, 63, 41 points L3 hosters). In off embarrassing showing at Cal (despite yet another 402 passing yards from Gordon). Faltering Card being mauled for 39.3 points per game in its road games this season. Only TD vs defenseless Colorado last week: 79-yard Costello aerial. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Wyoming +6 v. Utah State | Top | 21-26 | Win | 100 | 69 h 31 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week Ags in off snapping 2-game slide with L0:00 win over Fresno, behind 388 Love passing yards: 267 passing yards per game, but just 11 touchdowns with 12 interceptions. Ags rank 102nd & 103rd in total & passing "D". Wyoming has out rushed all 9 foes, & on 10-3 SU run (3, 4, 3 point losses), while ranking 15th & 10th in rushing "O" & "D". |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Syracuse v. Duke -10 | 49-6 | Loss | -110 | 68 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bounceback time for Imps, off embarrassing 38-7 home loss to Notre Dame, with 10 first downs & less than 200 yards (272-yard deficit). Syracuse rested off allowing most-ever 496 rushing yards in 58-27 loss to BC, while ranking 90th in total "O" & 114th in total "D". And the chalk is 11-2 ATS in Orange contests |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Wake Forest v. Clemson -34.5 | 3-52 | Win | 100 | 68 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Just like clockwork for the defending National Champs, ever since North Carolina put a scare into them on Sept 28, when CU needed to stop 'Heels' 2-pt try in the final 1:17. Since then, a 204-41 point edge, and now a 935-248 point advantage in their last 21 games. Lawrence approaching last year's excellence, while Etienne is at an outstanding 8.9 yards per rush for the year. Deacons have been a decent play, behind Newman's 287 passing yards per rush, but rank 76th in total "D", in off allowing 470 yards in loss to Virginia Tech.. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Navy +7.5 v. Notre Dame | 20-52 | Loss | -110 | 67 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Irish still among the elites (#18 in this week's polls), no matter their sporadic line successes. Are coming in off possibly their best performance of the year, taking an always respectable Duke team, to the tune of 38-7 (24½ cover). Logic says that if the Irish can do that on the road, they should continue that effort in the role of host. But a closer peek shows that ND barely prevailed in their 2 HGs (SoCal & VaTech), with a combined -24 pts ATS. QB Book is in off his best game, but he won't be on the field when that top-ranked Middie running "O" is unleashed. Navy is on an 8-2-1 spread run, with only misses by 1 & ½ pt). A sticky history. |
|||||||
11-15-19 | Celtics -7 v. Warriors | 105-100 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics earned their ninth consecutive win with a 140-133 triumph over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday and embark on a five-game road trip with some momentum behind them. The Celtics will try to push the win streak to double digits when they visit the Golden State Warriors today. Boston dropped the season opener 107-93 at Philadelphia but has not fallen since and is showing itself capable of winning with defense in some games and offense when necessary, though the team is hoping the defense becomes the most consistent piece. |
|||||||
11-15-19 | Blues -103 v. Blue Jackets | 2-3 | Loss | -103 | 1 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues have not missed a beat since hoisting their first Stanley Cup in June, even withstanding a devastating injury to high-scoring forward Vladimir Tarasenko. The Blues own the best record in the Western Conference and are riding an eight-game point streak heading into Friday night's matchup at the skidding Columbus Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets have lost seven of eight overall (1-5-2) after giving up a last-minute goal before falling in a shooting at Montreal on Tuesday. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Steelers +3 v. Browns | 7-21 | Loss | -120 | 25 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units First of 7 division matchups this week. That Steeler "D" was beyond impressive vs the Rams, forcing 4 TOs, making it 8 straight games with 2+ takeaways, which is their longest streak since '89. What a gutsy call going for it on 4th-&-1 from their own 34, with 9:00 left, that led to a huge field goal that forced lately to score a TD. Now have won 5 straight after that 0-3 start. Pitt 7-0-1 vs Browns. Four-game losing skein now over for the Browns, & even though this year has been a disappointment, their 3-6 start is the best they've had in 5 yrs. But Beckham has gone 7 straight games without a TD. Rating: 2 Units |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Mavs -7.5 v. Knicks | 103-106 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The NY Knicks finished with the NBA's worst record last season (17-65), as well as its worst home record of 9-32 (Bulls were also 9-32 at home). New York lost 120-102 on Tuesday at Chicago, falling to 2-9, which matches its worst 11-game start in franchise history. The Knicks will try to pull out of their rut and save coach David Fizdale's job when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday in the first game of TNT's doubleheader. The Mavs are 6-4 to open the current season but enter having lost TWO of three. The Knicks are averaging only 99.5 PPG (29th) on an NBA-worst 41.6% shooting. In this quick turnaround from last Friday, expect the Mavs to gain a measure of revenge from that embarrassing home loss. Lay the points. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Bulls v. Bucks -11.5 | 115-124 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks are winners of five of their last six games but will have to continue their hot play without one of their key players. The Bucks will play their first game this season without All-Star swingman Khris Middleton when they host the Chicago Bulls on Friday. Middleton suffered a thigh contusion in Sunday's 121-119 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder and was ruled out for the next three or four weeks after undergoing an MRI exam on Monday. Milwaukee took all four meetings last season by an average of 11.5 points. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Clippers v. Pelicans +4.5 | 127-132 | Win | 100 | 2 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Leonard will probably sit out the second contest of a back-to-back after recording 26 points and 12 rebounds in Wednesday's 102-93 loss to the Houston Rockets while Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers ponders how best to incorporate George. Clippers have won when Kawhi Leonard has played. They are 7-0 when he plays, and 0-3 when he doesn't. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Buffalo -6 v. Kent State | 27-30 | Loss | -102 | 24 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bulls seem fully recovered from losing 12 starters, covering 4 straight, the L2 by 48½ points, with back-to-back 43 point outbursts. And try a 252-25 rushing yards edge at Eastern. Kent stayed with Toledo, despite 289-171 yard deficit. Note allowing 289 & 289 rushing yards each of its last 2 tilts. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Nets +3 v. Suns | 112-138 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Opposing perimeter players aren't having much trouble scoring against the Brooklyn Nets, but Kyrie Irving is making sure their own offense keeps up. Irving and the Nets will try to push their winning streak to three straight when they visit the Phoenix Suns today. Brooklyn allowed Brandon Ingram to go off for 40 points against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday and watched Damian Lillard put up 60 on Friday but managed to earn the win in both contests as Irving averaged 36 points. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Bucks v. Thunder +8 | 121-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Thunder have won three of their last four after getting past Golden State 114-108 on Saturday in the opener of a two-game homestand. Danilo Gallinari led a balanced attack with 21 points and he is 9-for-12 from 3-point range over the last two games. Oklahoma City improved to 4-2 at home and it has won three in a row at Chesapeake Energy Arena. |

11-10-19 | Pacers v. Magic -3.5 | 109-102 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It's been a bit of a rough start for the Magic. They failed to break 100 points in their first seven games. But they have reached triple digits the past two games and continue to play lockdown defense. We think it's a good time to play Orlando as it certainly looked as if they turned a corner in their last game. Friday's 118-86 win against Memphis was most definitely the Magic's most complete effort to date. It was a season-high in points scored. Defense hasn't been a problem so far as they lead the Eastern Conference with just 98.2 points allowed per game. Here at home, they are giving up just 93.2 points/game. An Indiana team that's going to be really short-handed tonight isn't about to solve this Orlando defense. |

11-10-19 | Golden Knights -160 v. Red Wings | 2-3 | Loss | -160 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The road team has won all four previous meetings as the Red Wings try to post their first winning streak since opening the season with a pair of victories and Vegas attempts to avoid a three-game slide. The Golden Knights opened their four-game trip with a win in Columbus, but lost in overtime at Toronto on Thursday before dropping a 5-2 decision at Washington on Saturday after giving up the only two goals of the final period. Max Pacioretty scored for the third time in four games this month Saturday while fellow forward Reilly Smith has scored three times in three contests to become the first Vegas player to reach 10 goals this season. |

11-10-19 | Rams v. Steelers +4.5 | 12-17 | Win | 100 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Realize it's a bit difficult bucking the Rams, who are in off similar wins of 37-10, & 24-10. After all, they did make it to the Super Bowl last year. Are in off their bye, but that's not always a tonic. The Steelers have finally gelled, following the devastating loss of Roethlisberger, with 3 straight wins, including last week's 2-pt squeaker vs the Colts. Their defense has always been there (year-after-year). Standing at 4-4, Pitt is just where they need to be, after dropping their first 3 games. Third straight home game. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Dolphins +12 v. Colts | 16-12 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fitzmagic does it again! His 3 TDs got the 'Phins off the schneid in getting sweet revenge on HC Gase. That's four straight over the Jets, & the most pts Miami has scored all season. And now 33-1 when scoring 25 pts, or more (best in the NFL). The #1 story here, is the status of Brissett's left knee. Also the roller coaster year for Vinatieri continues after that horrible 43-yd FG miss to end the game (2-pt loss to the Steelers). Colts now trail the Texans by a game in the AFC South. Each of the Colts 8 games this season has been decided by a TD, or less. Double digit line? Yep! |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Ravens -10 v. Bengals | 49-13 | Win | 100 | 19 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units You could see it in the eyes of the Patriots. They had no answers for the brilliance of Lamar Jackson, who just about personally took them apart. Ravens led the league in rushing, before that one, & just added to that stat vs one of the NFL's top-ranked defense. So the Bengals, who rank dead last in both total & rushing "D", must pick up the mantle in trying to contain them. Cincinnati is 0-8 for first time since '08, allowing 450+ yards in 4 straight games, tying team record. And Dalton has now lost 11 straight starts. Bengals are 1-7 ATS as division home dogs of 4 points or more. Romp. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Chiefs -6 v. Titans | 32-35 | Loss | -104 | 19 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chiefs haven't forgotten how the Titans ended their season in '17, 22-21, as 9-point home favorites in Arrowhead. A 44-yd field goal at the buzzer got the win for KC last week, snapping a 3-game home losing streak. Andy Reid 201 wins puts him 6th all-time. Williams: 12 carries, 125 yards, & a 91-yard TD. Hill: 6 catches, 140 yards, & a 40-yd TD. His 20th career TD of 40+ yards. Moore's first win since '16, with the Dolphins. No Titans/Oilers QB has ever started their Houston career 3-0, not Warren Moon, not Dan Pastorini, not Steve McNair. That went up in flames in Carolina. Henry 99 yards from scrimmage & 2 TDs. Chiefs are 3-0 ATS at Tennessee. KC again. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Falcons v. Saints -13.5 | 26-9 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both teams coming in off their bye week. Talk about 2 teams heading in completely opposite directions. Six straight losses for the Falcons, their worst start in 16 seasons. Schaub's 5th game of 400+ yards, & his first since 2012. It was first start by a Falcon QB other than Ryan, since '09. Falcons had better stats than the Seahawks, but 3 turn overs did them in. Check Brees vs the Cards: 34-for-43, 373 passing yards, 3 TDs, & just 1 pick. Extended his NFL record to 38 games with 350+ yards & 3 TD passes. And that New Orleans "D" has now held 5 straight opponents to less than 260 total yards. Sure, the spot is heavy, but smoking Saints on 6-0 run, both SU & ATS. Ditto |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Cardinals +4.5 v. Bucs | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Still have no idea why Arians didn't go for 2 at the end of regulation in Bucs' OT loss to the Seahawks. No way that that exhausted "D" was stopping Wilson in that situation. First time all year that the Bucs had someone rush for 100+ yds at them (Caron's 105 yds). Winston was 29/44 for 335 yds & 2 TDs. And Evans was a beast with 12 grabs. Bucs blew a 21-7 lead in that one. Kingsbury has to be kicking himself for calling that timeout at the end of the half in tight loss to the Niners. Ended up costing the Cards 7 big pts. Newly acquired RB Drake: 110 RYs. Murray another solid game, 241 passing yards, 2 TDs, while rushing for 34 yds. Cards are 3-0 ATS vs Bucs. |

11-09-19 | Clemson -32 v. NC State | Top | 55-10 | Win | 100 | 95 h 41 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit ACC Play of the Day Sure, such as heavy spot has to be respected, & surely it is. However, the Tigers have shaken their so-so attitude (weekly spread sqeakers) following their near disaster at North Carolina, when they stopped the 'Heels from converting a 2-point try in the L1:17, for the 21-20 win. Since then, they've outscored their opponents, 149-31, in lined games (902-238 point edge in last 20 games). For the Wolfpack, it's been straight downhill, with a 1-5 spread streak, allowing 44+ points in 3 of last 6 games: 89-34 point deficit L2 (50½ points ATS L2). |

11-09-19 | Golden Knights v. Capitals -118 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington, which played seven of its first nine on the road and went 7-1-1, continued its stellar play away from home by rallying for a 5-4 overtime victory at Florida on Thursday. The Capitals extended their point streak to 10 games (9-0-1). The Golden Knights will be facing Washington for only the third time since the Capitals ended their magical inaugural season with a five-game win in the Stanley Cups Finals in June 2018. Vegas has played four consecutive one-goal decisions but has only win to show for it, losing in overtime three times during that span, including Thursday's 2-1 setback in Toronto. |

Rating: 2 Units Dog in Cal games was 6-0 ATS, before 14-pt spread loss at Utah. No Bear "O", with less than 108 rushing yards in their last 5 games (473-yard deficit at Utah). Coogs can't run, but, boy, can they pass, with Gordon at 428 passing yards per game (32 touchdowns with 9 interceptions). Visitor is 6-1 ATS in Cal games this year. |

Rating: 4 Unit Big-12 Game of the Week Wow! Wildcats sure have turned it all around past 3 weeks, with upsets of Tcu & Oklahoma, & romper over up-&-coming Kansas (342-61 rushing yards & 471-241 total yard edges). Steers' Ehlinger tossed for another 321 yards vs Tcu, but also threw 4 picks (now 23 touchdowns with 7 interceptions). Dog is 21-8 ATS in 'Horn tilts. |

A 492-126 point edge in L9 regular season games, with 386-63 point margin this year: 24-9 first down, 264-83 rushing yard, 431-191 total yard edges in rout of mighty Wisconsin. Dobbins: 139 rushing yards per game (7.2 yards per rush), Fields 69% (24 touchdowns with 1 interception), etc, with the top-ranked "D" in the nation. Quite a mountain for Terps to climb.

Rating: 2 Units Raiders rested off losing at the gun, to Kansas, allowing 527 yards. Same stat story: 18th in total "O", but 116th in total "D". Mounties even worse: 128th & 120th in rushing & total "O", with a 149-73 point deficit in their L4 games (450-219 yard deficit at Baylor). Revenge! |

11-09-19 | Florida State v. Boston College -2 | 38-31 | Loss | -113 | 87 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Eagle overland game is a thing of beauty, with 429 & 496 rushing yards 2-of-last-3 games, behind Dillon (#2) & Bailey 242 & 172 yards. BC on 19-8-1 spread run, covering last home game by 24½ pts. 'Nole "D" highly susceptible to such an onslaught (#100 in total "D"). BC again |

11-08-19 | Washington -9.5 v. Oregon State | 19-7 | Win | 100 | 72 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Beavers sure came in nicely in last week's 54-38 upset of Arizona, with a balanced 244 rushing yards & 328 passing yards, led by QB Luton, who now stands at an admirable 19 TD passes, & just one interception. Thus, Beavs are just 2 wins from bowl eligibility. However, things get a bit tricky, with a difficult windup, beginning here. The Huskies must recover from a pair of killer losses, to likes of Oregon & Utah. The visitor is 8-0-1 ATS in Beaver games, & Oregon St dropped last home game, 52-7, while posting an 0-8 spread record as a home dog. Doable spread |

Rating: 2 Units Kawhi Leonard got the better of Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo in last season's Eastern Conference finals, when the Toronto Raptors got past the Bucks in six games on their way to winning the NBA title. The two meet for the first time since that encounter when the Bucks visit Leonard's new team, the Los Angeles Clippers. Leonard, who was NBA Finals MVP last season, is making his mark with his new team by averaging 29.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 steals in six games. |

11-04-19 | Cowboys -6.5 v. Giants | 37-18 | Win | 100 | 28 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cowboys coming off bye. Back in control of NFC East after ending a 3-game run. Have feasted vs lesser lights, with their 4 wins (all covers) coming vs teams with a combined log of 7-23 SU. Prescott's 8-yard scoring run vs Philly broke Roger Staubach's team record of 20 rushing TDs by a QB. Giants have allowed 27+ points 7-of-8 games this year, having lost 4 games in a row before the end of October in back-to-back seasons, giving up 30.3 points per game in that slump. Cowboys rank 1st on "O", & 5th on "D", while Giants 24th on "O" & 27th on "D". Buck Monday Night home division dog theory. |

11-03-19 | Patriots -3 v. Ravens | 20-37 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units An AFC Championship preview? Belichick now 3rd coach ever with 300+ wins, joining Shula & Halas. Third 8-0 start in team history ('07 & '15). Lead the NFL with a +17 TO margin after forcing 3 more in win over the Browns. Now have a point differential of +189 through 8 games (3rd best ever). Twenty straight home wins. But this one isn't played in Foxboro, with Ravens on best start (5-2) since '14. Jackson has been the fly in opponents' defensive ointment. Another 143 passing yards & 116 rushing yards in last week's win over Seattle. He is 5th in the NFL in rushing. But that Patriot "D". |

11-03-19 | Flames v. Capitals -170 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington has notched at least four goals in seven of its last eight games (7-0-1), scoring four times in the first period alone in the 6-1 mauling of the Sabres. The Capitals went 4-0-1 on their five-game road trip that included a 5-3 victory over Calgary, which blanked another Metropolitan Division opponent as David Rittich made 43 saves in a 3-0 win at Columbus on Saturday night. |

11-03-19 | Packers -3.5 v. Chargers | 11-26 | Loss | -102 | 27 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rodgers returns to the city of his worst game last season, dropping a 29-27 heartbreaker vs the eventual NFC Champion Rams. He's smoking now, coming off a 3-TD effort in 31-24 win over the Chiefs, including the eventual winning 67-TD yard pass for the 7-point win. Chargers kept their season alive, with that lucky win in Chicago. Had a 38:00-22:00 time deficit, but snapped their 3-game losing streak. First team since '46 Lions with fewer than 40 rushing yards in 4 straight games. Pack 14-0 ATS in 2nd of 2 road games vs less than .500 non-division foes. |

11-03-19 | Lions +3 v. Raiders | 24-31 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Lions' 3-game losing skein is now over, with narrow win over the 2-6 Giants. Now 3-3-1, for their best start since '16. Four games of 27+ points, after having just 4 of those all last season. Stafford last week: 25of-32 for 342 yards & 3 TDs, including 49-yard & 41-yard TD passes. Raiders "D" allowing 35 points per game last 2 weeks. Gave up 130 rushing yards in loss to Houston, with a first down deficit of 29-15. Oakland has allowed 27+ points 4 times this year (0-4 in those games). Carr: 18-for 30, 285 yards, & 3 TDs. Williams: 3 catches & a TD. He now has a TD in all 5 games he's played this year.

Rating: 2 Units Was the "Fog Bowl" really 31 years ago? Another brutal home loss for the Bears, on missed 41-yard field goal at the gun, vs the Chargers. Have dropped 3 straight for the first time in Nagy's tenure. Last 4 drives: 2 turnovers, one punt, & that missed field goal. Bears have been outscored 50-21 in the 4th quarter this year. Eagles' 2-game losing run is over, doing it the old fashioned way, with more than 200 rushing yards, & 3 rushing TDs in the rain in Buffalo, outscoring the Bills, 20-6, in the 2nd half, as Philly had a 10-minute time of possession advantage. Bears reaching "now-or-never" stage. We call it "now". |

11-03-19 | Texans v. Jaguars | 26-3 | Win | 100 | 20 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Seventh straight year in London for the Jags. Sacksonville is back! Eight sacks for the Jags in last week's 29-15 romper over the Jets (389-213 yard edge, along with 3 picks). That "D" has now held 5 teams to 17 points, or less. And check Minshew: 22-of-34, 279 yards, & 3 TDs. Also ran for 28 yards. He's now a superb 13 touchdowns with 2 interceptions this year. For the Texans, they're in off only their 2nd game without a turnover. Third win after falling behind at the half. Watson: 27-of-39, 279 yards, 3 TDs. His third game this year, with 3+ TD passes & no picks. Jags 1-11 ATS before the Colts |

Vancouver lost 2-1 in overtime at Anaheim on Friday after the Canucks' Elias Pettersson hit the post at the regulation horn. Vancouver had won four of its previous five games, including a 5-3 victory over Los Angeles on Wednesday to begin its three-game California trip. The Canucks have earned a point in 10 of 11 games (8-1-2) after losing their first two contests of the season. |

Rating: 2 Units Philadelphia built its roster to be bigger and more physical than other teams and the defense is proving to be disruptive in the early going, as the 76ers are limiting opponents to 100.4 PPG (4th) through four games. What's more, rookie forward Matisse Thybulle (3.0) and PG Ben Simmons (2.8) rank first and second in the league in steals.All five Philly starters are averaging 13 points or more, with Harris (18.8 & 9.0) and Horford (14.0 & 9.0) starting alongside of Embiid, while Simmons (16.5-5.2-8.0) is joined by Richardson (13.2 & 4.0) in the backcourt. |

Rating: 2 Units Left wing Jonathan Drouin has scored four times in the last three games and right wing Brendan Gallagher has one goal in each of the last three contests, including the tying tally with 1:58 to go Thursday. Domi had a pair of points in the win at Vegas to share the team lead with Drouin and Gallagher at 12 - one more than Tatar, who has a goal and three assists over the past three games. Carey Price, who was rested Thursday and is expected back between the pipes against Dallas, is 4-1-0 with a .935 save percentage over his last five outings. Vezina Trophy finalist Ben Bishop (3-5-1, .916 save percentage) is expected to get the call against Montreal. |

So in off Penn State & Notre Dame, to obvious letdown affair vs Terps. MD spread log is study in disarray, but check 52-10 loss to Minny, with 30-10 first down & 321-79 rushing yard deficits. |

Rating: 2 Units Well, chalk is now 11-1 ATS in Orange games, so this is theirs, right? Hardly. Can't run (#114), DeVito #74 in pass efficiency, & 'Cuse has allowed 42 sacks (trailed Florida St 35-3). Eagles came from 24½ pt cover, & 429 rushing yards (NC State), to 17½ pt line loss & 674-177 yard deficit (Clemson). Third of four revenge setups for BC, & should nail this one |

11-01-19 | Navy -27 v. Connecticut | 56-10 | Win | 100 | 48 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Last week's 41-38 win over Tulane was a bit of a shocker, no, not with the final score, as 'Wave is among the best optioneering outfits in the land (#8 in rushing), with containment of such, an added plus. Fact is that Navy led that one 24-0, before taking it on a 48-yard field goal in final 0:00. Blowing such a big lead is hardly the case among military squads. However, that won't be the case vs the Huskies' 102nd ranked rushing "D", with UConn allowing more than 30 points in 18 of its last 20 outings. Getting the weekend off with a sweet romper in this matchup |

Rating: 2 Units Payback time for the Bears, who were thoroughly drubbed by Mounties last year, with a 281-yard deficit. Of course, West Virginia had Grier under center then, & he delivered. West Virginia just cannot trade points this year (98-28 point deficit in its L2 games), with a 2-10 ATS log as a road dog. Nine straight wins for BU (school-record), with a 35-7 point windup in guest rout of Oklahoma State |

Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets aim to continue their recent home mastery over Dallas when they host the Mavericks on Tuesday. Denver has won the last six meetings at the Pepsi Center and 11 of 13 entering the first of two games to be played in the Mile High city this season.

Siakam is averaging 28.7 points along with 10.7 rebounds, and has drained 8-of-17 from 3-point range to help the Raptors win two of three contests to start the post-Kawhi Leonard era |

10-27-19 | Packers v. Chiefs +6 | 31-24 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Obviously, the #1 concern here is the status of Mahomes' dislocated knee. What a gruesome injury that is. Before he got hurt, Mahomes became the fastest player in NFL history to throw for 7,500 yards, in just his 25th game. Mahomes: 15 TDs and one interception this season. This could be a rematch of Super Bowl I. Who knows? Rodgers, last week: 25/31, 429 yards, 5 TDs (21, 2, 37, 3 & 74 yards). Teams without star QBs seem to play a step above normalcy. Chief call here |

10-27-19 | Bruins -150 v. Rangers | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boston still is looking for some secondary scoring up front, but defenseman Torey Krug continues to produce as he recorded an assist on Saturday to give him eight points - tying him with Bergeron for third on the team. Anders Bjork got a chance in the last two games due to injuries and registered his first goal of the season on Saturday. Tuukka Rask (5-0-1) posted his second shutout of the campaign on Saturday with a 25-save performance and is expected to serve as the backup to Jaroslav Halak (2-1-1, 2.24 goals-against average, .931 save percentage) against the Rangers. |

10-27-19 | Panthers v. 49ers -4.5 | 13-51 | Win | 100 | 23 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Niners are 6-0 for the first time since '90, and the 6th team since '90 to limit an opponent to 7 or fewer points, & fewer than 200 yards for 3 straight games. Garoppolo the 6th QB to win at least 14 of his first 16 career starts. San Francisco has not given up a point in its last 18 defensive possessions. First road shutout win since '12, although sloppy weather didn't help us out in that ½ point loss last week. Panthers are 4-0 without Cam, with 23 sacks for the "D", & Allen first QB to start a career 5-0, without a pick |
|||||||
10-27-19 | Panthers v. Oilers -101 | 6-2 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The blueprint for facing the Edmonton Oilers has not changed much from last season - bottle up the team's lethal No. 1 line and the opposition's chances rise dramatically. That has been a near-impossible task at Rogers Place, where the Pacific Division-leading Oilers look to improve to a perfect 6-0-0 against the Florida Panthers on Sunday afternoon. |
|||||||
10-27-19 | Seahawks -7 v. Falcons | 27-20 | Push | 0 | 20 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These 2 have battled on a few occasions in the playoffs. Falcons taking both games in '12 & '16. Another thing they have in common, is blowing Super Bowls to the Pats in both '14, & '16. After Julio Jones' miracle catch, Falcons never should have thrown another pass. Two years prior, Beast Mode should have gotten that ball 100 times out of 100. Check Seattle being outscored 17-3 in the 2nd half at home, vs the Ravens. First pick thrown by Wilson this year, & a pick-6 to boot. Five straight losses for Falcons. Haven't recorded a sack in a month, allowing 36 points per game during this streak. 'Hawks |

10-27-19 | Eagles v. Bills -1 | 31-13 | Loss | -123 | 20 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Weird tidbit here. Brian Westbrook scored his first NFL TD in this building on Sept 28, 2003. Eagles did win that one, on their way to their 3rd straight NFC Championship appearance. Bills off to best start in 11 years, with that Buffalo "D" on a streak of 13 games of not allowing 250 yards of passing. Allen: 16-of-26, 202 yards, 2 TDs. His 4th game with 2+ TD passes. Outscored Dolphins 22-7 in 2nd half. Philly is 2-13 ATS as an October dog vs an opponent off DD SW win. Buffalo just keeps it going |
|||||||
10-27-19 | Broncos v. Colts -4.5 | 13-15 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units What a horrible offensive display for the Broncos at home vs the Chiefs last Thursday. After driving the length of the field for a TD on their opening possessions (aided by 2 pass interference calls on 3rd down), they put up a goose egg over the final 54 minutes to the much maligned Chiefs' "D". Denver converted just 1 of 13 third downs, botched a 2 point conversion, never reaching 200 yards until the last play of the game in garbage time. Colts haven't allowed a 100-yd rusher in 24 straight games. Only way. |

10-26-19 | Washington State v. Oregon -14 | Top | 35-37 | Loss | -109 | 99 h 45 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit PAC-12 Game of the Week Yes, we know that this goes contrary to history, as Coogs have covered last 9 vs the 'Ducks, including last year, when Minshew outdueled Herbert. Washington State came in nicely last week vs Colorado, but OU not only has the firepower, but the 16th-ranked "D". Revenge in style. |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Kings v. Jazz -9 | 81-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz look to defeat Sacramento for the ninth time in the past 10 meetings when they host the Kings on Saturday. Utah will be looking to rebound from a porous Friday night road effort against the Los Angeles Lakers when it committed 23 turnovers and succumbed 95-86. Jazz coach Quin Snyder will hope to receive a better effort against Sacramento after his team was often outclassed in the loss to the Lakers. |

10-26-19 | Astros +103 v. Nationals | 8-1 | Win | 103 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston manager A.J. Hinch said after Game 3 that Urquidy will be the starter and will go as far as he can before turning it over to the bullpen. The 24-year-old is well-rested as he last pitched Oct. 19, a night in which he struck out five in 2 2/3 innings of relief and gave up one run and three hits against the New York Yankees in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. Urquidy's only other appearance this postseason was Oct. 8 against the Tampa Bay Rays when he pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 4 of the AL Division Series. |

10-26-19 | Penguins v. Stars -120 | 3-0 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These teams met a week ago, at Pittsburgh. Playing at home, the Pens won 4-2. At the time, it was their fifth win in a row. Conversely, the 4-2 loss dropped Dallas to 0-5 its last five games. However, since that time, the teams have gone in opposite directions. The Stars have won their last three while the Pens have dropped their last three. So, the shoe is on the other foot for today's rematch. Now, the Stars are the "hotter" team, playing in their own building. With the Pens a money-burning 73-110 (-33.4) over the years, when on a 3-game losing streak, consider backing the revenge-minded Stars. |

10-26-19 | Notre Dame +1 v. Michigan | 14-45 | Loss | -106 | 96 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units "Never Say Die" the theme of this Wolverine outfit, which had Penn State on the ropes despite an early 21-0 deficit. Check 26-14 first down, 141-101 rushing yard, & 276-182 passing yard edges, with only a dropped TD pass preventing OT, or a possible regulation time upset. Irish are 13th & 15th in scoring "O" & "D", but mediocre in other columns. Series dog is the King! |

10-26-19 | Memphis -10 v. Tulsa | 42-41 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units One of the more unnoticed teams around, are these Tigers, who've suffered just a single loss, that by just 2 points in 4-turnover showing vs 5-2 Temple, just 2 weeks ago. They then proved their worth with bounce back rout of Tulane, with a 470-333 yard edge, with QB White taking center stage, going 21-for-29 for 358 passing yards & 5 TD passes. Tigers have been to bowl games the last 5 years, thus the winning attitude is deeply embedded, which is hardly the case with the 'Cane, who are on a 5-22 SU streak. The visitor has covered all 7 Tulsa games this year. |

10-26-19 | South Carolina -4 v. Tennessee | 21-41 | Loss | -106 | 92 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Visitor owns this series, & despite 'Cocks entering off upset of Georgia, & narrow loss to Florida (387-354 yard edge), they're the play, covering their last road game by 25. Two straight covers for Vols, but note their 124th ranking in total "O". Spread very tempting. |

10-26-19 | Tulane v. Navy -3 | Top | 38-41 | Push | 0 | 92 h 41 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week Is Navy smoking, or what? Try an 822-219 rushing yard edge L2 weeks (27 & 17 point covers), & 7-1-1 ATS run, with only miss by 1 point (Perry now over 3,000 rushing yards). Wheels came off 'Wave ride, from 288 rushing yards per game to 146 in last week's 47-17 loss to Memphis. Chalk is now 7-0 ATS in TU contests |

10-26-19 | Wisconsin v. Ohio State -14 | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 88 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Well, the air has sure gone out of this one, as Badgers may have been caught in "trap" game in shocking loss to Illinois. Still 268-53 point edge this year, ranking #1 in run, pass, scoring, total, & pass efficiency "D". But Bucks have it all. A 50-13 point per game edge in L9 games (+161½ points ATS). Fields at 22 touchdowns with 1 interception; Dobbins 135 rushing yards per game; etc. And don't forget home field. |

10-24-19 | Redskins v. Vikings -15.5 | 9-19 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kirk Cousins takes on his former squad, as Case Keenum makes his return to Minnesota. Worst start for 'Skins since '98, & are 0-4 home for 1st time since '94. Just 154 total yards in the rain for Washington last week. Now 8 straight losses at home for the Redskins, although another 81 rushing yards for Adrian. Three straight wins for the Vikings, also scoring TDs on 4 straight drives. Cousins 10 TDs & 1 pick in last 3 games. Averaging 36 points per game during that 3-game run. First 4-TD game for Cousins since 2015. Cook leads the NFL with 5 games over 100 rushing yards. Zimmer 20-2 ATS as non division home favorite |
