10-28-17 | Kansas State -24 v. Kansas | 30-20 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner of the Kansas State Wildcats Kansas State will be in a foul mood having lost three straight, two in overtime. Snyder has always taken care of business in this rivalry winning 21 of the L22 and covering 18 of the 20. The Jayhawks have been outscored 153-19 in its L3 and the offense as generated just 9 first downs the last two games. |

10-28-17 | Florida International v. Marshall -17 | 41-30 | Loss | -105 | 62 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack's Revenge Game of the Year is on Marshall The Thundering Herd is doing everything it can to prove that last year's 3-9 season was an aberration. The team is well coached by John "Doc" Holliday who has the Herd at 6-1 and 3-0 in the conference. Marshall has already avenged two of last year's losses with double-digit wins and here they look to take care a little 31-14 setback at FIU in the second to the last game of last year. Marshall is somewhat offensively challenged but they face an offensively challenged Panther offense averaging just 19 ppg. with their own big-time stop unit giving up just 14 ppg. Payback here ... Marshall 37-10. |

10-28-17 | Wisconsin -26 v. Illinois | Top | 24-10 | Loss | -110 | 83 h 57 m | Show |
DMack's Saturday NCAAF Can of Whup Ass is on the Wisconsin Badgers Sadly, rebuilding at Illinois has been a much bigger chore than Lovie Smith could have ever imagined. This is a mismatch any way you look at it and Wisconsin can name the score. On offense, Illinois quarterbacks have thrown five TD passes against 12 interceptions. The Badger defense already has four pick-sixes and is overall statistically in the same sentence with Michigan and Michigan State. The Wisky offense is led by RB Taylor (1112, 7.5, 11TDs) and he'll face a defense that was shredded for five rushing TDs by Rutgers. Last year, Wisky won on cruise control 48-3 and it figures to be as bad this year. For the record, we'll call it 51-7. |
|||||||
10-27-17 | Tulsa v. SMU -8.5 | 34-38 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 34 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the SMU Mustangs The SMU is 5-2 with losses to TCU (56-36) and Houston so they have taken care of business against their own kind. The Mustang offense should be able to do what it wants against the No.129 defense in the country with Tulsa allowing 250+ on the ground and through the air. The Golden Hurricane runs the ball well but has virtually no passing attack. SMU has all three CUSA heavies coming up so a big win here gets the Stangs Bowl eligible keeps program momentum going. |
|||||||
10-26-17 | South Alabama v. Georgia State | 13-21 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 60 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night King of the Sunbelt is on South Alabama Both teams are 2-1 in the Belt with Georgia State off a 24-point loss to Troy, a team with a defense not as good as what they see today in the Jags. In fact, State barely managed four yards per play and that won't cut it vs. SAU team that is improving each game on the offensive side. Georgia State is 3-7-1 ATS in L11 home games and is 0-2 straight up this year including a loss to an FCS team. South Alabama 24-13. |

10-21-17 | Wyoming +14 v. Boise State | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Subscriber Bonus Play on the Wyoming Cowboys This is a huge game for Wyoming and highly touted QB Josh Allen. The Cowboys are 4-2 with losses to Iowa and Oregon and wins over four nondescripts including Hawaii and Utah State. Allen would have been a first-round pick if he had come out last year and this year he is completing just 57% of his passes with a 7-4 TD to INT ratio. Boise off a big win over San Diego State last week but their problems on the smurf turf are well documented as the Broncos are 0-8 L8 as a home favorite while Wyoming rocks a 9-3 run as a dog and won this game in Laramie last year 30-28 (+14). |

10-21-17 | Arizona -3 v. California | 45-44 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack's Pac -12 Game of the Month is on the Arizona Wildcats These teams haven't met since 2014 but that doesn't matter as both teams are completely different clubs. Cal has newly found defense under Wilcox and is off upset of Washington State. Arizona has rushed for 877 yards in its last two games with QB Tate racking up an amazing 577 of it by himself. The Bears had given up 38 ppg in their other conference tilts before Wazzou upset. Tate almost a legend after just two games averaging a whopping 19.2 ypc. Arizona 41-20. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | USC +3.5 v. Notre Dame | 14-49 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on the USC Trojans The Trojans have been ticket burners all year and have played one complete game all year, the win over Stanford. Darnold has had a sketchy year at best and now there is talk he won't even come out. The Trojan offensive line was young to start the year but is coming around. USC defense puts eight in the box and forces Wimbush (53% completions) to beat them by throwing the football. That won't happen. USC straight up by a touchdown. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Michigan v. Penn State -10 | 13-42 | Win | 100 | 129 h 4 m | Show | |
DMack's Big Ten Game of the Year in on the Penn State Nittany Lions Michigan has had no quarterback play all year and the Wolverines are fortunate to be 5-1 at this point. The Maize and Blue have a big defense that is super tough between the tackles allowing just 0.6 ypc but that's where the Nits do their business with Heisman front-runner Barkley who runs for 7.6 ypc. inside. Something has to give and it's Michigan. Penn State is in a double revenge spot and style points will be so important down the line when they're locked in a room going over playoff teams. Penn State is the Big Ten Game of the Year, call it 29-10. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Wake Forest v. Georgia Tech -4 | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on Georgia Tech The Jackets are as unlucky as they come and are a couple of plays away from being unbeaten. Two one-point losses to Tennessee and in last to Miami, Fla. Wake is a talented dog that has overachieved but GTech is the real deal and on an 8-0 ATS covering the number in every game this year. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | UAB -7 v. Charlotte | 24-25 | Loss | -128 | 112 h 16 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on UAB Charlotte is a 0-7 trainwreck with no quarterback and seven or fewer points in four of those seven losses. UAB is an amazing story at 4-2 and likely to get Bowl eligible after a two-year hiatus from the gridiron. A win here is an absolute must for postseason play and the Blazers get it in a big way. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | SMU -7.5 v. Cincinnati | 31-28 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on SMU The underrated Mustangs have had a week to regroup off their loss to Houston and tweak their No.11 ranked offense with the emphasis on the run vs. Bearcat No.111 rush defense. The Smu is a profitable 5-2-1 ATS in its L8 roadies vs. 1-7 ATS L8 Power 5 homies for Cincinnati. SMU 41-23. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Northern Illinois -13 v. Bowling Green | 48-17 | Win | 100 | 108 h 47 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Play on Northern Illinois Bowling Green is tailor-made for the Huskies who get by on a big defense and a power running game. Northern is not the explosive program we grew accustomed to ten years ago and NIU is just a couple of plays from being 6-0. The Huskies will definitely be in the thick of the MAC championship discussions. |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Kent State v. Ohio -17.5 | 3-48 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack Subscription Bonus Play is on the Ohio Bobcats The Bobcats ground and pound is in top form topping 290 yards and 7.0 ypc in two of the last three weeks. They face a Kent squad that can't throw the ball a lick (No.125) and is averaging just 11 ppg. The Flashes left it all on the field last week in a win over Miami, Oh. and in the end, fold under the relentless Ohio ground attack. Ohio 45-7. |
|||||||
10-20-17 | Colorado State -7 v. New Mexico | 27-24 | Loss | -132 | 78 h 48 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Colorado State Rams At 5-2, Colorado State is right where it needs to be. The Rams were very representative in non-conference losses to Colorado and Alabama and have pretty much taken care of business against everyone else. New Mexico has been hit hard by injuries and last week's 38-0 whitewash at Fresno is a red flag. CSU has won seven straight in the series and covered the last five. The Rams are also 8-3 L11 as a road fave (2-0 this year) and MWC home dogs are just 2-5 making this an easy call. |
|||||||
10-19-17 | UL-Lafayette v. Arkansas State -12.5 | 3-47 | Win | 100 | 81 h 58 m | Show | |
DMack's King of the Sunbelt is on the Arkansas State Red Wolves Love the home-standing Red Wolves who have owned all or a piece of the Sunbelt title four of the past five years. Also a nice revenge spot for an Arkansas State outfit that inexplicably lost to Lafayette (15 game SBC win streak snapped when touchdown on the final play of the game was reversed) last year the final week of the season. ASU quarterback Hanson, who already has 19 TD passes can do whatever he wants versus Cajun's No.110 pass defense. Arkansas State 45-17. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Boise State v. San Diego State -6 | 31-14 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 20 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Money Never Sleeps Late Show Bail Out is on the San Diego State Aztecs If you watched Boise State against BYU last weekend, you know what a shell of a program the Broncos are from three years ago under Petersen. Sure Boise is 37-18 ATS in their L55 road games but those numbers were compiled years back and once again, this is not a good Boise team, this is not a good team period. San Diego State is rolling and comes off an emotional trouncing of UNLV. Rashaad Penny is running roughshod over everyone and SDSU is a good team having won and covered two games against the Pac-12 in non-conference play. Rocky Long's bunch has won 15 of 16 at home and 29-13-1 ATS L43 Mountain West games. Boise is the next scalp. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | New Mexico +1.5 v. Fresno State | 0-38 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Late Steam Bonus Play is on the New Mexico Lobos I kept looking at this to see what I was missing. Tedford has done a nice job with Fresno State, a once proud program under Pat Hill that has had ZERO success of late, but their wins are against bad Nevada and San Jose State teams and Incarnate Word. The Lobos have won two straight and have covered last three despite a mash unit of injuries. They are off a bye, have gotten somewhat healthy and Davie has settled on a quarterback to take them the rest of the way barring injury. The wrong team is favored here and wouldn't be shocked to see the Lobos a pick or small favorite at kickoff. Take New Mexico. |

10-14-17 | Cincinnati v. South Florida -23.5 | 3-33 | Win | 100 | 32 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Can of Whup Play is on the South Florida Florida Bulls Central Florida dropped 51 on Cincinnati last week ... in a game that was called after just three quarters for rain. South Florida is home off a bye after dropping 61 on a similarly defensively challenged ECU. The Bulls are a machine on offense with Flowers as the triggerman and the defense (which leads the nation in INTS with 14 and allows 74 ypg. rushing) faces a Bearcat QB completing just 53% of his passes. USF is getting to the point where it can start thinking about running the table and possibly crashing the FBS playoff party with a couple of breaks. Style points count ... South Florida by 38. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Tulane -13.5 v. Florida International | 10-23 | Loss | -105 | 30 h 56 m | Show | |
The DMack Power Pack will be on the Tulane Green Wave Willy Fritz doing a nice job with this Wave outfit who rushed for 655 yards week and is thriving with the option. FIU is not Tulsa and the Wave will still run against better appointment. Tulane handles this kind with ease. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | New Mexico State -6.5 v. Georgia Southern | 35-27 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack Subscriber Late Steam Bonus Play is on the New Mexico State Aggies We've used the Aggies with great success in September and will continue to pick our spots with this hard trying bunch. You probably remember the story. HC Doug Martin was a dead coach walking heading into this year, New Mexico State's last year in the Sunbelt as they go independent. With 20 scholarships available, Martin went out and go the best 16 JUCOs he could get to play right away and the team has been ultra-competitive and even beat Big Bro New Mexico. The Aggies were perfect against the spread until last week when QB Rodgers threw an uncharacteristic six picks vs. App State. Rodgers should do all kinds of business here against an Eagle front seven that brings no pressure and cannot (No.104) stop the run. This is a game NMSU should win comfortably despite being on the road. |

10-14-17 | Navy +3.5 v. Memphis | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 51 h 56 m | Show | |
The DMack Power Pack will be on the Navy Midshipmen Middies are 21-11 L32 as a road dog including two straight up dog wins the last two games in the series. Tigers can't stop the run while Navy had surprise for Air Force last week, running the ball out of the shotgun for 467. Middies ran for 821 combinded in last two wins vs. Memphis. |

10-14-17 | Georgia Tech +6.5 v. Miami-FL | 24-25 | Win | 100 | 26 h 9 m | Show | |
The DMack Power Pack will be on Georgia Tech Miami goes without four key starters, including Walton who is an NFL quality back. Canes are fat and happy after Florida State win while Georgia Tech is top twenty in every valuable measurable offensive and defensive. Yellow Jackets straight up. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Oklahoma v. Texas +8 | 29-24 | Win | 100 | 50 h 37 m | Show | |
The DMack Power Pack will be on the Texas Longhorns Really misjudged the number which you can find now at +9/9 1/2. Catching points with Herman who is 12-0 ATS and 11-1 SU (OT loss at USC TY) since he was the OC for Bama two decades ago has proven very profitable. The last three in the series all decided by three or less. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Auburn -7 v. LSU | 23-27 | Loss | -105 | 48 h 27 m | Show | |
The DMack Power Pack will be on the Auburn Tigers After a very slow start, Auburn QB is completing 80% of his passes for 1000+ yards over the last four games. LSU is powerless to stop it and not talented enough on offense to trade points here. |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Connecticut v. Temple -9.5 | 28-24 | Loss | -110 | 62 h 31 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK AAC GAME OF THE YEAR is on the TEMPLE OWLS Temple is a work in progress that is improving weekly but at a slow and steady pace. The Owls still play the same great defense that they did under the Matt Rhule era but replacing a four-year starting quarterback has been tough going and the offense has sputtered more times than not. Last week, Temple faced a similar in quality but more offensively gifted East Carolina team and new QB threw for 300+ in the 34-10 win. That should give the Owls all the confidence it needs to throttle a UConn team giving up 43+ ppg and has failed to cover any of their L10 games. This is my first conference Game of the Year and it's Temple ... 45-10. |
|||||||
10-13-17 | Washington State -14 v. California | 3-37 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 35 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Washington State Cougars Wazzou is off wins over USC and Oregon and in a prime let down stuff but The Pirate (Milke Leach) is made of better stuff and will have this team ready to play in front of a national TV audience. The Cougars snapped a 1-10 run against Cal by beating the Bears by 35 last year. Cal is banged up, especially on defense where the Bears have given up 83 points the last two weeks. Coog gunslinger Falk completing 70% of his passes with 19 TDs and threw for five scores against the Bears last year. Wash State 16-7 ATS L23 on the road in all games. Lay it. |

10-12-17 | Texas State v. UL-Lafayette -13.5 | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night Kings of the Sunbelt release on the ULL Rajin' Cajuns The Bobcats are hard trying and do play some defense but they are 0-5 vs the FBS and four of those losses are by 18+ points. State is No.124 on offense and allows 45 ppg. so they can't trade with anyone ... even ULL who is 4-0 SU and ATS L4 in the series, 3-0 when favored. All four wins are by 22+. Cajuns do not play much defense but are off their best effort of the year holding Idaho to just 279 yards. Tough to endorse ULL but they should be able to comfortable outscore a TSU squad that is 4-10 L14 as a road dog and has been outscored 82-13 in two games with suitcase this year. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | San Diego State -9.5 v. UNLV | 41-10 | Win | 100 | 36 h 6 m | Show | |
DMack's Late Show Bail Out is on the San Diego State Aztecs Maybe because I've lived in Las Vegas since 1991 and have been disappointed by UNLV football sooooo many times, I'm a bit sour. I don't think that is influencing my play here and I just don't understand why "sharps" are drinking the Rebel Kool Aid. The game has dropped from SDSU -11 to under 10 despite SDSU being 5-0 with a chance to go to 6-0 for the first time since 1975. The Aztecs are 9-2 L11 in the series with the average margin of victory 19 ppg. and all nine wins by a touchdown or more. Last year, SDSU won 26-7 with last year's second string back (this year's feature back) Rashad Penny outgaining the entire Rebel team 160-122. UNLV took a major hit to it's running game when it's center and was hurt last week vs. SJSU which also nicked the Reb defense for 463 yards but only scoring 13 points. Going to call this one SDSU 37-19. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Michigan State +10.5 v. Michigan | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 49 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's Dog Pound is on Michigan State The Michigan defense is ferocious allowing just 13.5 ppg. That said, the Wolverine offense is terrible and while O'Korn might be an improvement at QB, Michigan is still going to have trouble moving the ball and producing points against a pretty good Sparty stop unit that allows just 18.0 ppg. and just held a pretty good Iowa team to just 231 yards of total offense. Mich State is 7-2 L9 in the series, 7-2 L9 as a road dog and has covered four straight at the Big House. The Hook is extra sweet. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Fresno State -17 v. San Jose State | 27-10 | Push | 0 | 76 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on Fresno State The Fresno State Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their first year under Tedford and just went on the road to pound Nevada in a game they were up 31-0 at the half. SJSU is possibly the worst team in college football, has played seven straight weeks, was blown out by UNLV last week and the defense has been on the field for 100 more snaps than any other stop unit in the country with comparable games. The Spartans bottom 10 in every important handicapping metric. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Kansas State +5 v. Texas | 34-40 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack will be on Kansas State K State/Texas basically comes down to two words ... Jesse Ertz. If the Wildcat QB will play and if he is reasonably healthy, K State can do some business against Texas which is improving weekly under Herman. The home side has won the last five games in the series but Bill Snyder is a constant, the Cat defense is proven, and K State is 24-9 in their L33 road games catching points. K State gets a confident nod. |
|||||||
10-07-17 | SMU +7 v. Houston | 22-35 | Loss | -125 | 48 h 32 m | Show | |
DMack's Dog Pound is on SMU Not much brain surgery here. SMU has one of the most explosive offenses in the country and is actually No.3 in the country in scoring at 48+ ppg. The Mustangs have played a very representative schedule which included TCU and the Stangs managed to drop 36 on a very good TCU team. Houston is an OK team with no playmakers for new HC Major Applewhite. The Cougars are just 1-6-1 as a home fave dating back to last year and just can't trade points with more potent SMU offense. SMU DOES have a big chance to win straight up. |

10-07-17 | Virginia Tech -16.5 v. Boston College | 23-10 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on Virginia Tech The Hokies will be in a foul mood after getting spanked by Clemson last week. Last year, same spot. V Tech gets beat by Tennessee ... the following week beats Boston College 49-0. The Eagles have already lost a pair of ACC games by a 68-17 count. Gobblers by four touchdowns. |

10-07-17 | Southern Miss v. UTSA -13 | 31-29 | Loss | -110 | 76 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on USTA Roadrunners USTA is on a 7-2 ATS run and their Michiganesque defense is ranked No.2 in the country. The Roadrunners are allowing just 38% completions and look to roll in their conference opener. Southern Miss just 15-27 ATS in L42 conference games and the home team has won all three games in the series. Lay it. |

10-07-17 | Miami-FL -3 v. Florida State | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 75 h 40 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack Winner on Miami, Florida Canes have lost seven straight to Florida State and will never have a better spot to somewhat settle the score. Richt is a Cane legacy and this is a top priority. The dog is 10-3 in the series, Miami 5-1 L6 as an away fave, 19-9-1 all game ATS run, and 26-3 ATS in the L29 straight up road wins. Sems season shot with Francois injury. Also missing two starting OL which resulted in Wake getting 11 first half tackles for losses last week. |

DMack Power Pack Winner on UL Monroe Texas State tries hard and plays decent defense but is up against it vs. a ULM that is looking for a third straight win for the first time since 2013. The Warhawks are 9-w L12 as an away favorite and even tear gas (joke) hasn't kept ULM out of the endzone. Monroe by 17. |

10-06-17 | Boise State -8 v. BYU | 24-7 | Win | 100 | 81 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Boise State Broncos The home team has won the last five games of this series but this not your ordinary year. BYU is 0-4 against FBS opposition being outscored 126-43 in those four games. The Cougar offense has been terrible (No.125 total offense and No.128 points scored) under BYU legend Ty Detmer and injuries have BYU down to its third-string quarterback. Boise is no great shakes and looked bad in last week's National TV blowout home loss to Virginia. That said, a good spot here for Broncos who had Washington State dead to rights in their last roadie and are 33-15 (11-2 L13) as a road fave. Rypien is back to near 100% and should have a big night. Lay it. |

10-04-17 | Arkansas State -7 v. Georgia Southern | 43-25 | Win | 100 | 16 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's Wednesday Sunbelt Super Play is on Arkansas State Arkansas State has a very classic M.O. It plays several big non-conference money games against strong Power Five schools and then runs roughshod through the Sunbelt where they've won or shared four of the last five regular-season crowns. The Red Wolves are actually in a good spot as a road favorite where they are 5-2 and off a bye where they are also 5-2. They're 11-2 ATS in their L13 Sunbelt tilts and face a Georgia Southern team that is pretty much in freefall in that they cannot throw the ball and are giving up 47 ppg. and are just 4-11 L15 ATS. Wolves will take this game very seriously in that they overcame five turnovers to only win by a point last year. ASU with much the better of the QB play here and rolls 41-17. |

09-30-17 | California +14 v. Oregon | 24-45 | Loss | -115 | 88 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack Bonus Play for Subscriptions is on the Cal Bears The new Cal HC is an ex-Duck from Eugene and that fact won't be lost on the players. Wilcox has done a nice job changing the culture and showing that you can still have a wide open offense and still play defense. Cal hurt in 10-point loss to USC last year but that with six turnovers. Clean slate here keeps the Bear in the hunt throughout against the non-tackling Oregon defense. |

09-30-17 | San Jose State v. UNLV -12 | 13-41 | Win | 100 | 89 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's Graveyard Earn While You Sleep is on UNLV I've lived in Las Vegas since 1991 so I've seen some good and a lot of bad with this UNLV program. Tonight we lay double-digits with a Vegas team that is 1-8 in that role last nine and playing a team they haven't beaten in 25 years. Why ??? UNLV returns home for the first time since September 2nd when it shattered every Las Vegas Sports Book record by losing straight up to FCS Howard as a whopping 44-point home favorite. They'll look to get that taste out of their mouth vs. a SJSU team that plays for the sixth straight week and versus a defense that has been on the field for more than 100 snaps more than any stop unit in FBS football. Rebs do run the ball with authority and should run for 300+ here. The Spartans have committed 17 turnovers in five games and that should have the Rebels pressuring the head all game long. Tonight's the night for UNLV ... Rebs 49-27. |

A DMack Power Pack winner is on Clemson Clemson was understandably flat last week before turning on the jets late versus Boston College. The still young Tigers play up and down to their opposition so expect complete effort here much like we saw against Auburn and Louisville. Hokies in revenge mode after dropping ACC Championship game to Clemson last year 42-35 but the spot is different here and Clemson "D" does the rest. Clemson 35-17. |

Okie State has won eight straight in the series and also on a 9-3 L12 ATS run. Tech getting lots of love at the window this week as the Raiders can play a little defense this year but in the end, it's just Rudolph having another monster day with all his weapons. |

09-30-17 | Costal Carolina v. UL-Monroe -10.5 | 43-51 | Loss | -110 | 85 h 32 m | Show | |
A DMack Power Pack winner is on UL Monroe Monroe almost let one get away last week in their rivalry game with Lafayette last week, giving up a 21-yard TD pass on the final play that forced OT. Monroe just 5-11 L16 as home chalk but don't mind laying wood here against the still not ready for prime time Chaticleer who punked 52-10 by FCS Western Illinois in last. |

09-30-17 | Iowa +4 v. Michigan State | 10-17 | Loss | -102 | 14 h 58 m | Show | |
MACK ATTACK SATURDAY NCAAF UPSET SPECIAL is on the Iowa Hawkeyes Despite getting outgained by 300 yards, Iowa was still in a position to beat Penn State until the final whistle. Ferentz will have his team right back on its horse and ready to play here. Mich State dug itself an impossible whole by turning the ball over early against Notre Dame and then having no way back. You might remember that the last time these two met was in the 2015 Big Ten Championship game where Sparty scored in the final 27 seconds to get the win. Hawkeye ground and pound the story here as Iowa gets the win in wire-to-wire fashion. |

09-30-17 | Connecticut v. SMU -17.5 | 28-49 | Win | 100 | 83 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the SMU Mustangs The Mustangs did some nice things in their 3-1 non-conference play. The lone loss was to TCU and the Stangs scored 36 points and were competitive throughout against the Horned Frogs. Stangz are No.5 in the nation in scoring offense at 48 ppg. and face a UConn outfit that has allowed 1680 yards of offense in just three games, one of which was against Holy Cross. The Huskies are also on a short week having played a rare Sunday game last week, a home loss to lowly East Carolina. UConn also on a 9-18-1 run getting points. Randy Edsall has to be wondering what he got himself back into and faces a team that averages 174 ypg. more than their opponents. SMU 51-19. |

09-30-17 | Navy -6 v. Tulsa | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 81 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack's "RUN IT UP" Play is on the Navy Midshipmen Just a complete stylistic mismatch here. Both teams run the football, but one can stop the run and the other can't. Navy is just off a 569-yard rushing performance against Cincinnati and figure to do a lot of business against a Tulsa team that allows and an average of 295 ypg. on the ground and is just off a game where it allowed 338 to an option team (New Mexico) who doesn't do it anywhere near as well as the Middies. Navy by 20. |

DMack Bonus Play for Subscriptions is on the Army Cadets Last year, the Cadets emotionally charged after losing a teammate in a car accident during the week, dropped 66 points on UTEP on their home field of the Sun Bowl. Army running for 366 per while the Miners average 62 per and don't throw the ball well. Laying double-digits with Army has been suicide in the past but not here against a train wreck with the wheels come off. |

A DMack Power Pack winner is on Vanderbilt Commodores Vandy had given up just 13 points in three games before getting spanked by a disrespected Bama team last week. The Florida name must still have equity as the officials gave them the game last week at Kentucky. The last two years, this game ended Florida 9-7 and 13-9. Lock for another defensive slobberknocker here today. |

The guy can coach and has the Gophers unbeaten and ready for Big Ten play which starts against a Terp squad down to their third quarterback and a team nowhere near what went down to Texas and won in early September. Minnesota 31-10. |

09-29-17 | Miami-FL v. Duke +7 | 31-6 | Loss | -115 | 60 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAAF Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Duke Blue Devils Duke has been our star performer in 2017 as we've used them multiple times and have always gotten the money. Great spot for the Dukies here as they are 5-1 L6 as a home dog and getting a full touchdown to a team that has beaten them 11 of 12. The Devil upperclassmen have to remember the game here two years ago when Miami was gifted a kickoff return win on the final play of the game (two knees touch + two forward laterals same play), a play that set the Duke program back two years and a loss that they are just recovering from now. This is Miami's first road game of the year and Duke can definitely throw the ball around and test a secondary that gave up 344 at home to Toledo last week. Duke straight up. |

09-28-17 | Texas v. Iowa State +5 | 17-7 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Texas/Iowa State Big 12 Super Play is on the Iowa State Cyclones I really like the job that Campbell is doing with the Cyclones. ISU was very unlucky in rivalry loss to Iowa and dominated Northern Iowa and Akron in other games. Texas is off an OT loss to Southern Cal and a bye but on the road here with a defense that allowed slightly less than 1000 yards in losses to Maryland and the Trojans. Herman still has work today and faces a team that won't be intimidated after blanking the Horns 24-0 the last time they visited, is 5-1 as a home dog under this coach. Just read where Herman was 0-7 as road chalk at Houston when not off a win of greater than 29 points which certainly is not the case here. Iowa State 34-27. |

09-23-17 | Oregon -14 v. Arizona State | 35-37 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 3 m | Show | |
Mack Attack NCAAF Graveyard Money Maker is on the Oregon Ducks Willie Taggert has the Quack Attack flying high. The Ducks have a lot of weapons and generally get out of the box fast. That said, they've suffered a couple of second-half vapor locks where they've assumed games are over and have allowed bettors to get bit in the ass. Not here. Look for Taggert to have this team fine-tuned entering conference play and they have the perfect team to unload on. The Ducks are on an 8-1-1 series ATS run against the Sun Devils. Add to the mix Duck 7-1 ATS run prior to B2B home games and Taggert's 25-7 road ATS mark in his prior coach assignments and will have ourselves a good old fashion butt kicking. Oregon 55-20. |

09-23-17 | Notre Dame v. Michigan State +5 | 38-18 | Loss | -106 | 105 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's Saturday College Football Dog Bite in on the Michigan State Spartans A great spot for Michigan State here who catch the Irish off a bye while Notre Dame is in the second of B2B roadies. Sparty close to its old self as the defense is allowing just a tick better than three yards per carry. Wimbush and Adams had big days against a collapsing Boston College team but find the going much tougher here. Irish led just 14-13 midway through the third before BC turnovers led to four straight Notre Dame scores so misleading 49-20 final. Mich State 4-0 L4 as a home dog and still beat Notre Dame last year in that forgettable season. The home team is 8-0 in Michigan State's L8 games and that run figures to continue here. |

DMack Power Pack will be on San Diego State The Aztecs haven't missed a beat and this edition might just be better than last year's team. Penny has taken over seemlessly from Pumphrey and on his way to 1500+ yards behind big physical landmoving offensive line. Letdown off Stanford win ... this is MWC opener, no. Falcon option ??? SDSU 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS L5 meetings. |

09-23-17 | Oklahoma -26 v. Baylor | 49-41 | Loss | -110 | 138 h 9 m | Show | |
DMack will be on the Oklahoma Sooners Baylor started a new quarterback and eight other players last week at Duke, took a ton of late money and saw the like on Duke go down for -14 at kickoff. Duke won by 14. Did Baylor play well ... No! Duke was bored and disinterested and played like it. The new Baylor QB completed less than 50% of his passes but three of the completions (two of 70+) were for touchdowns of 57+ yards. The Sooners were expectedly flat off their Ohio State win against Tulane but shook the haze to win the second half 28-0 in a 56-14 win. The Sooners are on a mission and feisty QB Baker Mayfield is going to do all he can to make it happen. Sooner reserves are ruthless as well. Oklahoma 56-7. |

DMack Power Pack will be on the ULM Warhawks The visitor in this rivalry series is a bodacious 17-2-1 ATS over the L20 meetings. Neither team plays much defense but Monroe still allowing 20 less ppg than the hosts. The largest margin of victory on this field over the last nine meetings is just six points. |

09-23-17 | Michigan v. Purdue +10 | 28-10 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack's Power Pack is on the Purdue Boilermakers Brohm appears to be worth every penny of his $4 million a year as the suddenly ultra-competitive Boilers are 3-0 ATS. Michigan has the worst QB in Power five football and the Wolverines have just one touchdown in 20 trips to the red zone. Grab the points. |

09-23-17 | Duke -2.5 v. North Carolina | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 84 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack will be on the Duke Blue Devils North Carolina can't play defense and their dominating win over ODU meant nothing. Duke took the week off last week vs. Baylor but will be razor sharp in this rivalry clash. We're backing a coach that is 35-18 ATS in his L53. |

09-23-17 | Texas Tech +7 v. Houston | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 80 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack will be on Texas Tech Don't mind grabbing a full touchdown with Kingsbury and the Red Raiders with his butt on the hot seat and a team that finally can play some defense after five years. Tech a sweet 7-2 L9 as a road dog while Houston (still transitioning under Major Applewhite) just 3-10-1 of late as a home favorite. |

09-22-17 | Utah -4 v. Arizona | 30-24 | Win | 100 | 118 h 12 m | Show | |
DMack's Friday NCAAF Feeding Frenzy is on the Utah Utes We jumped the gun on this one locking in four early thinking the number would "fly" to six or more closer to game time. Instead, money has come in on Arizona and 3 and 3.5's are readily available. GRAB A THREE IF YOU STILL CAN. Zona's big win over a horrific UTEP team meant absolutely nothing as RichRod is in job preservation mode. Forget past historical series numbers, big physical Utah will do whatever it wants to Cat suspect defense. Ute defense is staunch, to say the least, and Whittingham's are on a current 13-5 road ATS run while Zona is on a current 8-19 ATS run, 5-13 vs. Pac 12 opponents. Utah 38-16. |

09-21-17 | Temple v. South Florida -20.5 | 7-43 | Win | 100 | 56 h 54 m | Show | |
DMack's Thursday Night College Football Super Play is on the South Florida Bulls This year's edition of Temple is a far cry from the Matt Rhule teams of the last couple of years. Forget the Owl life and death wins over UMass and Villanova, in their only game vs. a team with a pulse (Notre Dame), the Temple defense allowed 422 yards rushing to the Irish. After sleepwalking through a couple of games, USF rolled a decent Illinois team ending the night with 376 yards on the ground and three different 100-yard rushers. QB Flowers is a real deal dual threat and the Bulls are also home in a revenge spot as Temple punked USF 46-30 in Philly last year. No foot off the pedal here. Bulls drop 50+ in payback. |

09-16-17 | Georgia State v. Penn State -37 | 0-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
DMack Subscription Bonus Late Steam Report ... Penn State I have many contacts in the midwest including several in the Big Ten. In most cases, I would never consider laying this type of number but it seems that Franklin was not the least bit happy with the Nit performance vs. Pitt in last and will have his team razor sharp here with their Big Ten opener at Iowa on deck. Special emphasis this week in Happy Valley this week was placed on special teams and defense. Remember, that Blue and White had no compunction in rolling Akron in it's opener and faces a Georgia State team that was held to 29-49 rushing by Tennessee State. The Lions get their swagger back and pad their Heisman candidate stats before heading to Iowa City. |

DMack Value Pack Winner on the LSU Tigers Miss State getting a lot of love this week in a nice revenge spot but ... nobody believes us about how good this Tiger team is going to be under Orgeron. In fact, LSU is 7-2 ATS in the games he has coached and faces a Bulldog team with more bark than bite and is just 3-6 ATS L9 at home. LSU also gets key DL back here who led the team in sacks. LSU 27-10. |

DMack's NCAAF Week III Can of Whup Ass is on the Appalachian State Mountaineers App State is 28-6 straight up in its L34 games with three of the losses coming to Clemson, Florida, and this year in the opener to Georgia. The Mounties just don't lose to their own kind and will not here vs. a young and rebuilding Bobcat bunch. Can we cover the number ??? Probably without much problem if QB Taylor Lamb has anything like the game he had vs. Texas State last year when he threw four touchdown passes. App State well rested after dismembering FCS school in its last and will want to look good with a showdown at Wake Forest on deck. Appalachian State 49-10. |

09-16-17 | Oregon -13.5 v. Wyoming | 49-13 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack Subscription Bonus Late Steam Report ... Oregon Taggert was extremely unhappy that the Quack Attack didn't come out to play in the second half last week vs. Nebraska after racing out to a 42-14 lead at half and then hanging on life and death to just win straight up. That's been addressed here and we can expect a full 60 minutes from the Ducks. Remember that Josh Allen has one TD and 7 picks vs. Power 5 teams and that the Cowboys were blanked by Iowa 24-0 in their opener. The Duck defense won't be confused with the Hawkeye stop unit but the Oregon offense will get a lot more than 24 points. If the Ducks get their 40+ as we think they will, can the Cowboy offense counter with 28 to stay inside the number ??? The answer in our eyes is not a shot. Lay it. |

09-16-17 | Central Michigan +10.5 v. Syracuse | 17-41 | Loss | -110 | 113 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack's Money-Line Double Digit Dog is the Central Michigan Chippewas CMU features a Michigan transfer QB (that Harbaugh would give his left hand to have right now) in Shane Morris (693 yards, 6-1 TD/Int). The Chips have some exception weapons and are a veteran team with 18 Jr/Sr returning starters that will also remember an OT loss to the Orange two years ago. Syracuse lost to Middle Tennessee last week as the Blue Raiders also registered six sacks. CMU is 0-5 in this series and this would be a signature win against a Power Five school. This may come easier than you would imagine ... Central Mich 37-24. |

DMack Value Pack Winner on Wake Forest This is not a very familiar role for the Deacs who have not been a double-digit home faves all that often the past two decades. Utah State has not been very impressive except for its first quarter against Wisconsin. The Aggies are just 1-10 ATS over L11 road games. Wake flexes here with seet tune up win before Duke. |

09-16-17 | Baylor v. Duke -14 | 20-34 | Push | 0 | 109 h 25 m | Show | |
DMack's NCAA Week III Play of the Day is on the Duke Blue Devils Matt Rhule has to be wondering what he did leaving a nice cushy spot at Temple to take over the train wreck that is Baylor. Rhule is still trying to get the Art Briles stink off his team by implementing his own systems with Briles styles kids and the result has been ugly losses to Liberty and USTA. Unhappy with the Bear effort, Rhule starts nine new people this week including a change at QB and three new offensive linemen. While there is drama in Waco, Duke has rebounded from an injury riddled off year in 2016 wit two nice wins, the last a 41-17 home dog spanking of a pretty good Northwestern team in last. The Blue Devils are averaging 50 ppg. early and have no excuse not to drop 40+ on Baylor today. Duke 45-13. |

DMack Value Pack Winner on the UCLA Bruins Perfect letdown spot for UCLA here but Josh Rosen and Co. made of sterner stuff after two good wins and with two Pac-12 revenge games on deck. Sure Memphis has had extra time to prepare thanks to rain out but bigger, faster, stronger, better, Bruins still rate the nod here after scoring on 10 straight possessions from the start of A&M fourth quarter. UCLA 47 Memphis 34. |

09-15-17 | Arizona -20 v. UTEP | Top | 63-16 | Win | 100 | 96 h 22 m | Show |
DMack's Friday Night Feeding Frenzy is on the Arizona Wildcats Cats played their hearts out in last week's 19-16 home loss to Houston. That would have been a big win for the program that will need every win it can get to get bowl eligible in the ultra-competitive Pac-12. Arizona goes on the road for the first time in 2017 but catch the softest of touches in UTEP. The Miners might very well be the worst team in the FBS and their numbers look like this ... they are 129 of 130 in total offense and 125 of 130 in total defense. Most important for our purposes is that the Miners are 117th against the run allowing 243 ypg. and face the nation's No.9 rushing attack that averages 309 ypg. Power ground and pound means long prolonged drives that eat clock and keeps the defense fresh, masking their own deficiencies. This is the last chance for the Cats to look good before facing three tough foes in conference play. Cats shine in front of an ESPN national TV audience. Arizona 49-7. |

09-09-17 | Utah v. BYU | 19-13 | Win | 100 | 100 h 27 m | Show | |
DMack's Holy War Late Bail Out is on the Utah Utes You would have thought that bringing in Ty Detmer as the BYU would have been a perfect fit but that hasn't happened with the Cougars posting just 20 against Portland State and then getting shut out at LSU in a game they gained less than 100 yards and failed to cross mid-field. Utah has big physical front seven similar to LSU and features more wide open offense than in the past with same relentless ground and pound. |

09-09-17 | Stanford +7 v. USC | 24-42 | Loss | -130 | 99 h 42 m | Show | |
DMack's Live Dog Barking is on the Stanford Cardinal After watching Western Michigan run all over the Trojans for more than 300+ yards and it's hard to imagine how USC will be able to slow down and bigger, better, and more physical Tree outfit. Stanford win over Rice was meaningless but jet lag (Australia) no factor with extra time and Darnold will be running for his life again after first game without a touchdown trough the air. The Cardinal with a big chance to win straight up. |

09-09-17 | New Mexico State +7.5 v. New Mexico | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 82 h 27 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Dog Pound Play is on the New Mexico State Aggies New Mexico has a habit of playing close games and five of their nine wins last year were by a touchdown or less. New Mexico State coach is coaching for his job and brought in 13 JUCO players to fortify 17 returning starters. Aggies outgained Arizona State by 149 yards in 37-31 loss in their season opener. Lobo ground and pound eats clock and keeps things close. Grab the 7 and the hook. |

DMack's NCAAF/NFL Fan Appreciation Lock Parlay front end is on the Georgia Bulldogs Not worried in the least about Georgia freshman quarterback. Played three solid quarters against an App State team that was 27-5 in its L32 and the favorite to win the Sunbelt. He has two studs 1500+ backs to hand off to, Chubb/Michel are arguably the best 1-2 punch in the country. The Irish blew out a rebuilding Temple team ... so what ??? It's their freshman QB Wimbush that will be in trouble vs. a Dawg defense that returns 10 starters that accounted for 87% of last years tackles. Georgia 30-17. Please note that you should have no problems finding +5 at this point. |

Mack Attack College Football Lock of the Week is on the TCU Horned Frogs Very good team, great spot, and revenge equates to a double-digit win for TCU here. Razors won in OT last year despite being outgained by 150 yards. This Horned Frog team is loaded and REALLY can challenge for Big 12 title and will not be outclassed by either Oklahoma team. Gary Patterson is the best college HC that gets the least pub and the worst time to play him is after a tough year like TCU had last year as the Frogs have 11-1 and 12-1 in the year's following Patterson's only two losing seasons. TCU by 17. |

09-09-17 | Wake Forest +1.5 v. Boston College | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 90 h 45 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Dog Pound Play is on Wake Forest The Demon Deacs are the better team and in revenge mode of 17-14 loss last year. The last four games of this series have averaged just 27 ppg. and this one will likely be decided by a touchdown or less. In short, BC STILL has no offense and does have Notre Dame on deck, the Eagles are 3-6 ATS L9 the week before Touchdown Jesus. |

09-09-17 | Iowa -2.5 v. Iowa State | 44-41 | Win | 100 | 91 h 43 m | Show | |
DMack's Rivalry Game of the Month is on the Iowa Hawkeyes Last year was the year that the Hawkeyes were supposed to make some noise. Instead, the Tigerhawk crashed and burned early and was never able to recover. Saw exactly what we wanted in the Iowa opener vs. a big-armed QB in Josh Allen and Wyoming who was dominated by a staunch Iowa defense that barely allowed 250 yards to the Cowboys in total offense. Iowa has the offensive line and stable of backs to run it down anybody's throat and that is exactly what we get here in Ames. Call it 23-10 Hawkeyes with lopsided time of possession. |

DMack's Week Two NCAAF Can of Whup Ass is on the West Virginia Mountaineers Love the Mounties in the spot to win big ... very big! West Virginia was a bit unlucky vs. Virginia Tech as they outgained the Hokies by almost 150 yards and still couldn't get there. East Carolina was crushed in its opener by FCS champion James Madison. No disgrace there but ... the Dollies allowing 412 rushing yards and 600+ total yards would be alarming if it was to the Patriots and Florida transfer Grier is gonna have a field day calling the shots. WVU has won the last nine in the series on this field and needs a big win here to restore some confidence and get things back on track. The home faithful will be well lubed in Morgantown for the opener and Holgersen will not disappoint. West Virginia 54-14. |

MACK ATTACK TEXAS A&M/UCLA HOT COACHES HOT SEAT BOWL winner in Texas A&M The Aggies will be somewhat at a disadvantage in terms of experience and at quarterback but they are a good defensive team that locked up Roden pretty good last year. Bot coaches are on the hot seat, particularly Sumlin who needs to get off to a good start here before SEC play. Sumlin teams have always played well on the road and face a UCLA team with its own problems and a 5-10 run L15 as a favorite and a 1-8-1 ATS L10 versus non-conference opponents. While SEC-Pac 12 matchups do not happen all that often (USC/Bama Last year), the SEC is 7-3 SU and ATS L10. Grab the points which have gone up since the original posting with 5's being available in some houses as of this morning. |

09-02-17 | Florida State +7.5 v. Alabama | 7-24 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 21 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Florida State/Bama Super Power Super Play is on Florida State Five years ago, Florida State would have been playing Charleston Southern and Alabama would have been playing Nicholls State in their respective openers but thanks to $5 million dollar payouts and an FBS playoff system that is forgiving of losses like these if you take care of your business the rest of the way, we get what on paper looks to be an "instant classic". How do you handicap games like these ??? You have two teams of very similar talent and experience on a neutral site. Saban has never lost to one of his assistants and Jimbo Fisher was his assistant at LSU at the turn of the decade. Fisher is 4-0 SU and ATS L4 as a dog and as a conference, the ACC has had the better of it as of late. Both teams return a sophomore quarterback that played about every snap last year. Francois was thrown right into the fire while Hurts was nurtured along by Saban but will need to much more this year. For the Sems to have a chance (and we think they can win straight up) it will fall to a defense that returns 10 starters with a combined 186 starts. In the end, this looks to be a one score game so we'll grab the +7.5 with the better quarterback and more experienced defense. |

Mack Attack College Football Game of the Week is on the Wisconsin Badgers The Utah State defense has been in a state of decay for years and is allowing almost double the points that they did just three years ago. The Aggies return nothing of note and are 5-9-1 as a road dog under Wells while heading to one of the toughest road venues in college football. The Badgers QB is a sophomore who already has nine starts and he'll be handing off to stud backs working behind four returning OL with better than 90 starts. Wisky is just going to bully Utah State on offense and a well rested throughout the game stop unit will handle the rest. Wisky 45-3. |

DMack's Thursday NCAAF Book Buster is on the Arizona State Sun Devils ASU's HC Graham's hot seat is red hot and tonight's opener is a must win. Last years's Devil team had an M.O. of scoring a lot of points and giving up a lot of points. The defense should be much better this year with eight returning starters who should be pretty good against the run which is the New Mexico State Aggie forte. The ASU offense should be better than ever and last year averaged 48 ppg. against non-conference foes. Wouldn't be shocked to see 50+ here by the Sun Devils and if the Aggies get 30 ... then shame on us. Call it 56-20. |

08-31-17 | Ohio State -20.5 v. Indiana | 49-21 | Win | 100 | 48 h 42 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Super Play on the Ohio State Buckeyes Indiana has lost 21 straight to the Buckeyes but the Hoosiers have covered the last six. Just one thing, Indiana's coach from last year is now the Ohio State OC so the Bucks will be well prepped offensively and defensively if nothing else that from a personnel standpoint. This year's Buckeyes are loaded and have veteran JT Barrett calling the shots for what seems like a fifth or six year. Indiana is getting a lot of love this year but up against it in the opener. Ohio State 49-17. |

08-26-17 | South Florida -21.5 v. San Jose State | 42-22 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 38 m | Show | |
DMack's College Football Opening Salvo is the South Florida Bulls Charlie Strong was due for some good Karma after being tortured three years in Texas. Strong is an excellent football coach who is saddled with the burden of trying to do the right thing with a program. In South Florida, Strong gets a loaded team that was 11-2 last year and looks better this year. His quarterback is a dual threat Lamar Jackson type that has accounted for 71 TDs himself the last two years. San Jose State will be improved but allowed a whopping 6.5 ypp. last year and have a huge disadvantage in team speed and in the trenches. If South Florida can stop the run, this one could get ugly early. South Florida 44-10. |

01-09-17 | Clemson +7 v. Alabama | 35-31 | Win | 100 | 170 h 21 m | Show | |
DMack's National Championship Super Play is on the Clemson Tigers We have the rematch of last year's 45-40 thriller and this one should be just as good. When the number came out at Clemson -6.5, I immediately bought up to the full touchdown thinking the line would drop to below six and possible lower by game time. Sevens were available through the week but there has been a late influx of Tiger money and we're seeing -6 just about everywhere so do what you have to do early. Clemson returns with a veteran crew that has been through this before and if anything will be more focused here. Watson is a four-year starter facing a freshman and while this Crimson Tide team is strong on both sides, really like the orange defense as a well that pitched three shut outs including Ohio State. Remember that Clemson led by four heading to the fourth quarter last year. Alabama is good and this may in fact be Saban's best team but Clemson is here to ball and against a team that is somewhat limited offensively, has a big chance to win straight up. Sark for Lane Kiffin IS NOT A GOOD THING and a significant downgrade for Bama. In what figures to be another classic that is played more between the 20's, the call is Clemson 26-20. |

01-02-17 | Auburn v. Oklahoma -3 | 19-35 | Win | 100 | 58 h 5 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Sugar Bowl winner is on the Oklahoma Sooners The Sooner season ended before it started when it was spanked bu Houston and Ohio State. To his credit, Big Game Bob kept things together and won nine straight while averaging 47 ppg. The Sooners beat Bama as a 15-dog in this game three years ago, their only win in their last four Bowls. Auburn has a nice three week run but has come back to the pack. No crazy spread in this one and at just a FG, Oklahoma has too many weapons for Auburn to deal with. Oklahoma 45-31. |

01-02-17 | USC -7 v. Penn State | 52-49 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
DMack's Rose Bowl winner is on the USC Trojans The Rose Bowl is a big thing for USC and this is their first trip in eight years. The Trojans won their last three appearances by a combined 60 points (14+) but that was with pre-sanction teams. Change of QB here did the team good after a 1-3 start. The Trojans are a good bully, 7-1 as a favorite this year and rock six straight wins and covers coming in. USC is back and makes statement that further Pac 12 titles run through them. USC 38-24. |

01-02-17 | Iowa +3 v. Florida | 3-30 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
DMack's Outback Bowl Lock Parlay is on Iowa and the Under I had a cup of coffee at Iowa back in the day and still have some friends and "contacts" in the area. This is somewhat of a redemption bowl for the Hawkeyes who started year primed to run the table into the Final Four. That didn't happen but Iowa has won three straight in convincing fashion and snap a four-game bowl losing streak that saw the Hawks lose by more than a touchdown each time. These two teams are defensive specialists that couldn't score with a fistful of hundreds at Cheetahs. If Iowa protects the ball and comes to play (and all indications point that they will), they win a 23-10 type of game handily. |

01-02-17 | Western Michigan v. Wisconsin -8.5 | 16-24 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's Cotton Bowl Super Play is on the Wisconsin Badgers Western Michigan is a nice story but this is a team that barely beat Northwestern and Illinois out of the Big Ten and then struggled somewhat towards the end of their MAC Conf schedule. Wisconsin is a proven commodity and with a month off will be healthy again after getting beaten up by the rigors of the Big Ten schedule. Wisconsin gave Michigan and Ohio State all they wanted on the road and probably should have won both games. Power running game and BIG TIME defense sends Cinderella back to Kalamazoo 13-1. Wisky 30-10. |

12-31-16 | Ohio State v. Clemson +3 | 0-31 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Fiesta Bowl Super Play is on the Clemson Tigers Ohio State wasn't supposed to be here but a fast start and another great job by Urban Meyer at least has the Buckeyes in the Dance. Meyer is 10-2 in Bowls with one of the loses to to Dabo Swinney and Clemson. Ohio State was just 2-6 against the spread this year and faces a veteran Tiger squad here with a four year starting QB that wants redemption for last year's championship game loss. Watson outplays Barrett and Clemson wins by 10. |

12-31-16 | Washington v. Alabama -13.5 | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
Mack Attack Washington/Bama Peach Bowl Super Play is on the Alabama Crimson Tide At the end of the day there is not a whole lot of handicapping here. If you get to this point, you are a good team regardless. Washington is a dog the first time all year. Chris Petersen is 6-3 in Bowl games and engineered an upset of powerhouse Oklahoma ten years ago as coach of Boise State. Bama has covered seven straight and is 9-2-1 as a favorite, 8-2-1 as a double-digit favorite. Going with the eye test. IMO ... this is the best Bama team under Saban. They'll dominate the Huskies up front and push UWub around the first half and extend into the second. Still remember USC doing the same thing in November with lesser. Bama 38-10. |

DMack's Orange Bowl Super Play is on the Florida State Seminoles Both teams have elite defenses that come to play. The Seminoles season was defined by their crush shot loos to Louisville but even with basically just this type of Bowl to play for, FSU rallied down the stretch allowing just 16 ppg. over their final seven games. Michigan lost two of it's final three and the Wolverine offense is sketchy at best. FSU running back Dalvin Cook (1600+, 18 TDs) is the difference maker here. ACC teams have won four straight Orange Bowls, three as dogs. Grab the points and THERE ARE HOOKS OUT THERE! |

12-30-16 | South Alabama v. Air Force -14 | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's Arizona Bowl Super Play is on the Air Force South Alabama had it's moment in the sun with September upset wins over Miss State and San Diego State. Thing is the Jags went 2-6 in a very ordinary Sunbelt Conference and are just 7-14 as a dog over their L21. The Falcons won their last five hitting on all cylinders and averaging better than 35+ ppg. Air Force had a big year ... also beating Army and Navy soundly to take the Commander and Chief trophy for the first time since Fisher DeBerry era. If the the Floyboys get off early, watch out. Air Force 54-27. |

12-29-16 | Arkansas +7.5 v. Virginia Tech | 24-35 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
DMack's Bowl Side and Total Lock Parlay of the Year is on Arkansas and Under Fuentes has done a nice job in doing the near impossible ... replacing the iconic Frank Beamer. The Hokies had their moments good and bad but the defense was staunch and long time Beamer DC has had plenty of time to gameplan the Razors. The final week of the regular season loss to Missouri has put Beilema in the hot seat for next year. He's won his last two Bowls with the power ground game that turned the ball over just once and won the TOP war 80-40. We see this as a close one score game with all the action between the 20s. Running the ball eats clock and points will be at a premium. Parlay Arkansas and the UNDER. |

12-28-16 | Kansas State +3 v. Texas A&M | 33-28 | Win | 100 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
DMack's Texas Bowl winner is on the Kansas State Wildcats A&M was just 0-7-1 vs the points down the stretch. Sumlin is in the hot seat and Aggie QB Trevor Knight still a question mark with shoulder problems. The rumors are getting stronger that this is it for 77-year old Bill Snider. He's patrolled the sidelines in two long stints since 1989. K State won last three allowing just 15 ppg. Cats also in their favorite underdog roll where they are 4-1 this year. K State wants this one. |

The Mack Attack Foster Farms Bowl winner is the Utah Utes The Utes are Bowl specialist under Whittingham with lone loss to a very good Boise State outfit in 2010. Utah had been battling injuries but should be plenty healed and rest here. Indiana has been steamed and burned tickets all year long. The Hoosiers have good skill people but the team just doesn't match up vs. Utes superior line play. Utah by 17. |

DMack's Russell Athletic Bowl winner is the West Virginia Mountaineers Miami comes in 8-4 after going 4W-4L-4W this year and covering last four. West Virginia is 10-2 with it's only losses to the Oklahoma schools, no shame there. The Canes have lost five straight Bowls essentially doing nothing ... no shows. Richt will turn that culture around but in our eyes he's up against it here. Wrong favorite, West Virginia straight up. |

12-28-16 | Northwestern v. Pittsburgh -4.5 | 31-24 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
The Mack Attack Pinstripe Bowl Winner is the Pittsburgh Panthers The Panthers are an offensive machine scoring 176 points their last three games and rushing for 600+ in their last two. Northwestern has never fared well in Bowls (2-10 all time) and at it's best might slow Pitt down but not stop them entirely and the Cats can't trade points. In the end, Pitt wins by two scores with relentless attack and remember they've done it to EVERYBODY! |
