Rating: 2 Units Normally a tight series, but Irish did it up right in last year's stomping. So why not a duplicate score, as ND has 120-24 point edge in its L3 games (23½, 24½, 12½ point covers, with 8 Book TD passes L2 weeks). Cards in off losing to Cal in L1:27, ranking #123 & #110 in run & total "O" |

11-30-19 | Vanderbilt v. Tennessee -21 | Top | 10-28 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 28 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit SEC Play of the Day There was a time in the not too distant past, when the outcome of this contest pretty much depended on the Vols' bowl status. If Tennessee was already bowl bound, then the money went with the Commodores, as UT's urgency was already satisfied. That being the case, this one should be a Vandy call. Hardly, as the Vols are among the hottest teams in the land, completely turning their season around, turning from a 1-4 SU start (0-4 ATS), by winning 5 of 6 SU, covering ALL SIX (+86 points), including a 91-38 point edge in their last 3 home games. 'Dores the pits with current 1-10 spread run, with a 118-21 point deficit in their last 3 games. Momentum! |

Rating: 3 Unit PAC-12 Play of the Day Beavers evolving into a legitimate force, especially in the guest role, covering L4 as visitors by 23, 15, 23, & 9½ points.

11-30-19 | Clemson -27 v. South Carolina | Top | 38-3 | Win | 100 | 72 h 39 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit ACC Game of the Week Obviously, we could fill this column with Tiger exploits, so why not. The Tigers are now on a 26-game winning streak (98-11 since '12), with a 950-237 point edge in their last 21 lined games, & 315-58 point advantage last 6 games. Lawrence, who wandered, unimpressively through the early part of the season, has moved up to 8th in the nation in passing efficiency (28 touchdowns with 7 interceptions) while Etienne is more than holding his own with amazing 8.7 yards per rush for the season. The 'Cocks rank 100th in scoring, & there is no loved lost in this instate rivalry.. |

11-29-19 | Hawks v. Pacers -10 | 104-105 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers have found the right balance on offense with multiple contributors helping lead the way, a major factor why they have won 11 of their past 14 games entering Friday’s home contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Wednesday’s 121-102 home triumph over Utah was just another example, as Domantas Sabonis and T.J. Warren each scored 23 points and Malcolm Brogdon sparked a fourth-quarter run in finishing with 22 points and eight assists. |

11-29-19 | Virginia Tech -2.5 v. Virginia | 30-39 | Loss | -112 | 65 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Six straight covers, by 128 points ATS, with accompanying 6-1 SU run (only setback: 21-20 loss at Notre Dame, as 17½ point dogs). No questioning ongoing success of the Hokies, who also have a 109-17 point edge in their last 3 games, which includes bowl-bound Wake & Pitt. In this series, Tech has won 19-of-20 meetings SU, which is all the more important, when taking into consideration, the minuscule line. The Cavs averaged only 113 rushing yards per game, before their decent overland display hosting Liberty. VT continues doing it. |

11-28-19 | Saints -6.5 v. Falcons | 26-18 | Win | 100 | 49 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A month ago, this one seemed like a 'cake-walk' for the Saints. However, 3 weeks ago the Falcons annihilated the Saints at home. Will the revenge hammer be dropped by the Saints or have the Falcons turned the corner? Saints can clinch the division with a win here. Ryan's 2 turnovers did the Falcons in last week in loss in Tampa. Now sitting at 3-8 which is their worst start since '13. Are 0-8 this season when allowing 24+ points. Note five games without a sack this year which is the worst in the league. |

11-27-19 | Bulls -2.5 v. Warriors | 90-104 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago was riding a high after Zach LaVine set a franchise record with 13 3-pointers and scored 49 points in a 116-115 win at Charlotte on Saturday but the good vibes did not continue as the team went 9-of-39 from 3-point range in a 117-94 home loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. The Warriors are showing some fight, but it has yet to result in wins. |

11-27-19 | Hawks v. Bucks -14.5 | 102-111 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Antetokounmpo ranks second in the NBA in scoring (31.1 points), fourth in rebounding (13.9) and 15th in assists (6.4), and recorded a triple-double (24 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists) on Thursday against Portland. The Hawks continue to struggle, losing for the seventh straight time and 13th time in their past 15 games in Monday’s 125-113 home loss to Minnesota. Point guard Trae Young scored 37 points, but a 10-point halftime lead evaporated as Atlanta gave up 72 points in the second half. |

11-27-19 | Oklahoma State +3 v. Syracuse | 86-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It will be a homecoming for Oklahoma State head coach Mike Boynton on Wednesday as the native of Brooklyn leads his undefeated Cowboys squad into the Barclays Center to face Syracuse in the NIT Season Tip-Off. Off to their best start in five years, the Cowboys used a strong defensive effort to hold off Western Michigan 70-63 on Friday and earn their fifth consecutive victory to open the season. Syracuse has lost two in a row to Oklahoma State with its last win coming in the second round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament. Carmelo Anthony scored 13 points for the Orange while Tony Allen had 10 for the Cowboys. |

11-26-19 | Wizards v. Nuggets -10 | 104-117 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With a significant edge on defense, the Nuggets should be able to have their way with this team. Denver allows 101.7 ppg. The Wizards allow 120.3 ppg. Washington's opponents hit 48.3% of their field goals. Teams that face the Nuggets only hit 43.2% of theirs. The fact that the Wizards upset them here, the last time these teams met, figures to help the Nuggets remain fully focused. Consider laying the points. |

11-25-19 | Ravens -3 v. Rams | 45-6 | Win | 100 | 54 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Six-straight wins for the smoking Ravens. Averaging 34.3 points during streak. Longest winning streak since they won it all in 2000.

11-25-19 | Jazz +8 v. Bucks | 118-122 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jazz are on a nice run with three consecutive victories and seven in the last nine games following a 128-120 triumph over New Orleans on Saturday at home. Monday's visit to Milwaukee opens a five-game road trip for Utah, which handed Milwaukee its last loss Nov. 8 in Salt Lake City. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Villanova -2 v. Baylor | 78-87 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Villanova is following a familiar script as the team is one win away from claiming its seventh straight in-season tournament. The No. 15 Wildcats aim to capture the championship at the Myrtle Beach Invitational when they wrap up their time in South Carolina with a matchup against No. 23 Baylor today. Villanova has knocked down a combined 28 3-pointers in wins over Middle Tennessee and Mississippi State since arriving in Myrtle Beach as it seems intent on shooting their way to another title. Robinson-Earl had a team-high 22 points with 9-of-12 shooting in Friday's victory over Mississippi State, while Saddiq Bey contributed 17 points and was 7-of-10 from the floor. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Mavs +5.5 v. Rockets | 137-123 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston features a pair of former league MVPs in James Harden and Russell Westbrook but the best player on the floor Sunday might be Dallas point guard Luka Doncic, who led his team to 40-plus routs in each of the last two games. The Mavericks are winners of four in a row and followed a 142-94 pasting of the Golden State Warriors with a 143-101 drubbing of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, polishing off a perfect homestand. Harden and Westbrook could not quite hang with another pair of superstars on Friday and watched Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and company come through down the stretch in a 122-119 setback at the Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Seahawks +1.5 v. Eagles | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 23 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Streaky Eagles couldn't get it done in 17-10 loss to the Patriots, despite of the home field advantage, So, yet another host call for Philly, but vs the very best road team in the NFL, as the Seahawks are 5-0 SU in this year's guest shots. And as far as being pegged as the dog here, note that Seattle is on a 10-1-1 spread run in that capacity. Wilson? The absolute best in late game heroics, a step or two ahead of the oncoming Lamar Jackson. Eagles are hurting, managing just 10 pts in 2 of their last 4 games. Not sure who should be the favorite. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Bucs v. Falcons -3.5 | 35-22 | Loss | -109 | 23 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bucs have lost 5 of 6 and 4 more picks for Jameis in that home loss to the Saints. Tampa ran the ball just eight times for 36 yards. Time of possession deficit of 37:00-23:00. Falcons' D & special teams stepped up big time with 5 sacks, 4 picks & a 78 yard punt return for a TD in Carolina. Second straight dominant defensive performance for the Falcons. Outscored NO and Carolina 55-12 last 2 wks while recording 11 sacks. Ryan passed Warren Moon for 10th on all-time pass yards list (49,325). Ridley - 8 catches for 143 yards & one TD. They are 2-0 in division this season |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Steelers -6 v. Bengals | 16-10 | Push | 0 | 23 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Four picks & key injuries to Connor & Smith-Schuster did the red-hot Steelers in on Thursday night. However, the status of QB Rudolph is the big question after taking a helmet to his bare head by Garrett 9 weeks after that vicious helmet-to-helmet hit he took vs Seattle by Earl Thomas that left him unconscious before he hit the ground. What do the Broncos and Bengals have in common? They are the only teams that haven't scored 25+ points in a game this season. Fifth straight game with less than 17 points, & are 0-10 for the first time since '93. Twelve straight losses ties the franchise record. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Dolphins +12 v. Browns | 24-41 | Loss | -130 | 23 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two-game winning streak over for Miami. It was fun while it lasted. 7th double-digit loss this season. 2-8 is their worst start since '07. D allowed points on first four possessions. Parker 7 grabs for 135 yards. Back to back wins for the Browns behind Baker's 3 TDs vs bitter rival Steelers. They are 2-0 in the division. However, the #1 story coming out of that game is Myles Garrett's status for rest of the season after what he did to Rudolph. Inexcusable and barbaric to say the least. Another 92 yards rushing puts Chubb over 1,000 total yards. Browns 1-9 ATS off a SU DD win |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Boise State -7.5 v. Utah State | 56-21 | Win | 100 | 97 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Year-after-year, the Broncs are among the elite, with double digit wins a given. This time around, they had to say good-bye to their brilliant QB Rypien, who set numerous school records. His departure meant first string playing time for Bachmeier, who was a decent replacement. What happens? He goes out with a shoulder injury. But Henderson picks up the load. Check 291 passing yards & 3 touchdowns with 1 interception in last week's win over NewMexico. Aggies were killed by attrition, losing 9 offensive starters, with QB Love on the injury check list. TD line extremely enticing |

Rating: 4 Unit Conference Game of the Week Five straight losses for 'Cats, both SU & ATS, while allowing 44.6 points per game, & ranking 126th in total "D". However, they rank 17th in total "O".

11-23-19 | Pelicans +7.5 v. Jazz | 120-128 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Orleans Pelicans are in search of their fourth straight victory when they visit the Utah Jazz today. New Orleans sputtered out of the gate with just three victories in its first 12 games before responding with three wins by an average of 7.3 points. The winning streak comes at a time when rookie forward Zion Williamson is nearing a return from preseason knee surgery. |

11-23-19 | Oregon State v. Washington State -10.5 | 53-54 | Loss | -105 | 96 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Loved Cougar wipeout win over Stanford. Gordon: 520 passing yards: now 431 passing yards per game, & 39 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. Washington State's 114th "D" can be had, & Beaver QB Luton is now 23 touchdowns with 2 interceptions. Oregon State covered its last road game by 23 points, & visitor is 9-1-1 ATS in Beaver contests. But Coogs at 53 points per game in lined home games. |

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 | 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 | 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! |

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.

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). |

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 |

11-17-19 | 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. |

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 | 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. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | 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 | 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 | Washington State -7.5 v. California | 20-33 | Loss | -105 | 94 h 57 m | Show | |
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. |

11-09-19 | Kansas State +7 v. Texas | Top | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 91 h 43 m | Show |
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. |

11-09-19 | Maryland v. Ohio State -42 | Top | 14-73 | Win | 100 | 87 h 6 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Big-12 Play of the Day Buckeye superlatives just continue to mount. 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. Have already been stung for 59 & 52 points |

11-09-19 | Texas Tech -2.5 v. West Virginia | 38-17 | Win | 100 | 87 h 54 m | Show | |
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 |

11-06-19 | Bucks v. Clippers +1 | 129-124 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
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 | 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. |

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. Yet another NFL nail biter |

11-03-19 | Bears +4.5 v. Eagles | 14-22 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 28 m | Show | |
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 |

11-02-19 | 76ers +2 v. Blazers | 129-128 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
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. |

11-02-19 | Nuggets v. Magic +4.5 | 91-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Denver is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games, and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference. While Orlando is 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, and 13-6 ATS in their last 19 home games. |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Ole Miss v. Auburn -18.5 | Top | 14-20 | Loss | -115 | 71 h 34 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit SEC Game of the Week Tigers stayed with LSU, despite 508-287 yard deficit. Still an overland force (#20 run "O", #16 run "D"), & taken likes of Mississippi State apart (ala Ole Miss?). Reb "D" stung for 28+ points 11-of-last-15, but note rushing for more than 220 yards 5 times, & covered L2 road games (barely). Whatever AU wants |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Oregon State +6 v. Arizona | 56-38 | Win | 100 | 68 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two straight slaughters for 'Cats vs Beavers, with more of the same expected as 'Zona ranks 34th in overland production, while Oregon St comes in at 98th in containing the run. However, 'Zona lost its last home game by 18 pts ATS, while the visitor is 7-0-1 ATS in Beaver contests, with Oregon St covering its last road game by 15 pts. And Oregon St is 13-4 ATS in this series. |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Kansas State v. Kansas +6.5 | Top | 38-10 | Loss | -105 | 67 h 59 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Big-12 Play of the Day We took the Wildcats to the bank just about every year in this one, but things change. Jays: 569 & 527 yards vs Texas & Texas Tech (lost in L0:00; won in L0:00). Stanley 19 touchdowns with 5 interceptions this year. 'Cats 90th in total "O", but took Oklahoma 48-41 (led 48-23 in 4th). Host is 13-7 ATS in Kansas State contests. |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Akron v. Bowling Green -5.5 | 6-35 | Win | 100 | 65 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Keeps getting worse for the Zips, who are now on an 0-13 SU run (0-8 ATS this year), with a 96-3 point deficit in their last 3 games. Falcons not much better, allowing 48 points per game in 6 of their last 7 outings, with this their first chalk role in last 24 outings. Cannot back Akron |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Michigan -21 v. Maryland | 38-7 | Win | 100 | 64 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week - Possible "trap" game for Wolves who look better by the week, coming from allowing 359 rushing yards in loss to Wisconsin, to holding L5 foes to 51.8 rushing yards per game (303-47 rushing yard edge in rout of Notre Dame). 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. |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Boston College +3.5 v. Syracuse | 58-27 | Win | 100 | 63 h 13 m | Show | |
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 |
|||||||
10-31-19 | West Virginia v. Baylor -17.5 | 14-17 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 45 m | Show | |
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 |
|||||||
10-29-19 | Mavs v. Nuggets -6 | 109-106 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
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. The Nuggets are one of four remaining unbeaten teams but will look to improve on a 36.7-percent shooting effort that occurred in Monday's 101-94 road victory over the Sacramento Kings. |
|||||||
10-28-19 | Magic v. Raptors -4.5 | 95-104 | Win | 100 | 1 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pascal Siakam is warming to the role as a go-to player through the first three games of the season and the 25-year-old power forward looks to continue his hot streak when the Toronto Raptors host the Orlando Magic on Monday night. 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 | 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 |
