12-05-22 | Saints +3.5 v. Bucs | Top | 16-17 | Win | 100 | 20 h 31 m | Show |
NFC South clash here can put the whole division into turmoil with a Saints win. Right now the Bucs lead the South with a 5-6 record, the Falcons lost on Sunday dropped them to 5-8 and the Panthers and Saints pull up the rear at 4-8. A Saints win and three teams would have five wins. However, a Bucs win and they can pull into solo position in the South lead. The way the NFC is panning out, all four teams in the East could make the playoffs, the Vikings in the North with the Lions and Packers still in it and the 49ers and Seahawks in the West. It's likely that only the winner of the South will make the playoffs. The Saints were shutout last week at San Francisco, 0-13. They had just 260 total yards. The Saints offense ranks 15th in the NFL, 11th in passing. Tampa Bay's offense is just 18th overall, 5th in passing and last in rushing. Tampa Bay lost at Cleveland last week, 17-23, as a 3-point favorite. Despite Tom Brady at QB, the Bucs offense has scored more than 22 points just one time all season. The Bucs defense has dropped to 9th while the Saints are 11th. Tampa Bay is just 1-7-1 ATS their last nine games and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games at home. The Saints have covered the last four in this series at Tampa Bay and seven of the last nine overall. The dog is also 4-1 ATS the last five. I'll take the points here tonight with the Saints. |

12-04-22 | Stanford v. Arizona State -4.5 | 64-68 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Stanford 3-5 S/U and 2-6 ATS after eight games. They have lost two straight after dropping their last game at home to UCLA, 66-80, as a 6.5-point dog. The Cardinal have played a tough early schedule, with losses to Wisconsin, San Diego State, Ole Miss, Memphis and UCLA. Arizona State brings a 7-1 record into this evening's contest. The Sun Devils only loss coming at Texas Southern back on Oct 13, 66-67, as a 11-point favorite. The Sun Devils opened the season with three straight spread losses. Since then, they have covered their last five games. ASU is also 4-0-1 ATS in their last five home games. The Sun Devils are coming off a win at Colorado, 60-59, as a 4-point dog. I like the Sun Devils here today. Play ASU. |
|||||||
12-04-22 | Chargers v. Raiders -2 | Top | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 23 h 7 m | Show |
AFC West clash here as the Raiders host the Chargers. The KC Chiefs look to be cruising in the West with a 9-2 record and 3-game lead over the Chargers. The Chargers looking at a Wild Card at this point at 6-5. Vegas has won two straight and has improved to 4-7 and still in the hunt for a Wild Card if they can run the table. The Chargers are coming off a late 2-point conversion to beat Arizona last week, 25-24. The Chargers have the league's 14th ranked offense while Vegas comes in 7th. The Chargers have been a good over team, going over in 12 of their last 17 games. The Raiders won at Seattle last week, 40-34, behind over 200 yards rushing from RB Jacobs. The Raiders ended up with 576 total yards in that win last week. That makes two wins in a row after beating Denver in OT the week before, 22-16. The Raiders have now covered five of their last six vs the AFC and 5 of the last six against a winning team. The are also 9-4 ov/un in their last 13 vs the AFC West. These teams met back in week 1 of the season at LA and the Chargers walked away with the win, 24-19, just covering the 3.5-point line. I like the Raiders here today as they have confidence and momentum. Play Las Vegas. |
|||||||
12-04-22 | Jaguars v. Lions | 14-40 | Win | 100 | 20 h 43 m | Show | |
The Jacksonville Jaguars are 4-7 on the season and three-games back of the Tennessee Titans in the AFC South. The Jags are coming off a win over the Ravens last week at home, 28-27, as a 3-point dog. The Jags had just 38 rushing yards last week but got 294 through the air. The Jags offense ranks 10th in the NFL and 9th rushing so it was a off week for the rushing attack last week. Detroit is also 4-7 on the season and well behind division leading Minnesota who is 9-2. Detroit has really been playing well and gave Buffalo all it could handle on Thanksgiving day as they lost on a last second field goal by the Bills, 25-28, as a 9.5-point dog. That makes four straight covers by the Lions. The Jags are 6-13 ATS their last 19 when they rushed for fewer than 90 yards the previous game. They are also 5-13-1 ATS their last 19 games overall. Meanwhile, Detroit has covered eight of their last 10 games and are 15-7 ATS their last 22 games on the field turf. Jacksonville has gone over in six of their last seven road games. Detroit has gone over in five of their last seven home games and nine of their last 13 overall. I like the way this Lions team has played, especially at home. Play Detroit and the OVER for your Side & Total Parlay |

12-04-22 | Broncos v. Ravens -9.5 | 9-10 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 55 m | Show | |
The first place Baltimore Ravens are tied with the Bengals for the AFC North lead. Both teams are 7-4 and looking to get sole position this week. While the Bengals will face the Chiefs, the Ravens face the reeling Broncos. Denver sure didn't expect this kind of season when they signed Russell Wilson in the offseason. Yet here they are, last in the AFC West with a 3-8 record. The Broncos offense has been anemic, scoring 10, 16 and 10 the last three games - all losses. In fact, they have over 21 points just one time all season and that was 23 vs the Raiders in a nine-point loss. The only saving grace has been their 3rd ranked defense. The Broncos are now 4-14 ATS their last 18 vs the AFC and 2-7 ATS their last nine on the road. The Ravens are coming off that tough loss last week at Jacksonville, 27-28, as a 3-point favorite. That loss snapped a four game win streak. The offense ranks 11th overall and the defense is 15th. The Ravens are 7-3 ATS their last 10 at home vs a team with a losing road record. Ravens are also 10-4 ATS their last 14 vs the Broncos and 6-1 ATS their last seven at home. I'll take the Ravens here today against a Broncos team that just can't score. |
|||||||
12-04-22 | Browns -8 v. Texans | 27-14 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
The big news in this game is the expected debut of Cleveland QB Deshaun Watson. His suspension over, the Browns stated weeks ago that when he was ready he will start. However, such a long lay I have to wonder how game ready he will be. Then again, he's facing his old team in Houston and they are not good so it's the perfect team to debut against. The Browns are 4-7 and in third in the AFC North. They still have a shot at a postseason bid, but they will have to almost win out the rest of the way. The Browns still have the NFL's 5th ranked offense, thanks to a rushing game that gets over 150 yards per game. If Watson can contribute as he once did that will make this a very formidable balanced offense. The Houston defense is ranked 29th in the NFL and last vs the rush so it will be a long day against this Browns rushing attack. That means not a lot should be required from Watson as he gets into game shape. I'll take the Browns here today as they control the ball on the ground. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Purdue +17 v. Michigan | 22-43 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 59 m | Show | |
Big 10 Championship looks like an easy win for Michigan here today. However, Michigan is coming off that huge emotional win over their bitter rivals Ohio State, 45-23, as a 7.5-point dog. This will actually be the first time these Big 10 have met since 2017. Purdue finished the regular season with a 3-game winning streak that propelled them to the Big 10 West title. Obviously Purdue will be hard pressed to win today, but I'm looking at this almost 17-point dog line. Purdue closed out with wins over Indiana, Northwestern and a very good Illinois team. The Boilermakers are 5-1 ATS in their last six neutral site games. Whereas Michigan is only 1-4 ATS in their last five neutral site games. Michigan should clinch that spot in the playoff top four, but will they cover this huge line. I expect Purdue to at least get inside this big number. I'll take a shot with the big dog here. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Wofford +9 v. Vanderbilt | 62-65 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
The Wofford Terriers look to build on their 5-3 S/U start this season. They have won four of their last five games, including a win last time out over Presbyterian, 76-63, as a 12.5 point favorite. The Terriers have covered three straight games and four of their six posted games this season. They are also 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games. Vanderbilt is off to a disappointing start at 3-4 S/U ATS. They are coming off a loss at VCU, 65-70, as a 2.5-point dog. Vandy laying around 8.5-points today might be a tall challenge for a team that is averaging just 68.1 ppg (273rd) and also ranks 240th in 3 pointers made. Wofford averages 78.9 ppg (7-th) and allows 67.6 ppg (151st). This is too many points for a Vandy team that doesn't score a lot and also is 3-4 overall. Take the points with Wofford. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Air Force +3.5 v. Portland State | 64-68 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 56 m | Show | |
The Air Force Falcons look to improve on their 5-3 mark here today as they travel to the Northwest to take on Portland State. The Falcons are also 4-4 ATS on the season. After a 1-3 S/U start to the season they have won four straight and covered three of the four. That includes last game against Ark-Pine Bluff, 81-53, as a 13-point favorite. Meanwhile, the Portland State Vikings look to get over the .500 mark here today after a 4-4 start. The Vikings have won two straight games including a gimmy game against Portland Bible College in a easy, 114-31 win with no line. The Vikings have played some good competition with a win over Oregon State, 83-71, loss to West Virginia, 71-89, loss to Gonzaga, 79-102 and a win at Oregon State, 79-66. This will be a contrast of the uptempo Portland State team vs the slowdown style of the Falcons. The Falcons will also rely on their 38th ranked defense that allows just 60.8 ppg on the season. I'll take the points here today with Air Force and look for a slower game. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Coastal Carolina v. Troy -8.5 | 26-45 | Win | 100 | 40 h 48 m | Show | |
Sun Belt Championship as Troy hosts the title game against Coastal Carolina. Coastal is 9-2 on the season and looking for a second Sun Belt title in the last three years. Coastal got blown out last week by James Madison, 7-47. Madison actually beat out Coastal for the East Division, but because it was the Dukes first year in conference they weren't eligible for postseason this year. So really Coastal shouldn't even be in this game. Adding to their woes, QB Grayson McCall could miss this game with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Troy has been red hot under first year coach Chip Lindsey. They finished the season 10-2 overall and making their first ever in the Sun Belt Championship game. Troy coming off a strong performance last week over Arkansas State, 48-19. Troy just too good for this Coastal team that was blown out last week. Take Troy. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Toledo v. Ohio +3 | 17-7 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 25 m | Show | |
MAC Championship here today has the 7-5 Toledo Rockets taking on the 9-3 Ohio Bobcats in an early Saturday matchup. Ohio is coming off a win over Bowling Green, 38-14, as a 5.5-point favorite. Ohio has been a great bettor's team, covering their last eight games. Toledo, is coming off a loss at Western Michigan, 14-20, as a 7.5-point favorite. The Rockets have not taken off for bettors, failing to cover in five straight games. The Rockets offense will have to improve that off poor performance at Western Michigan where they had to punt 10 times. Ohio is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 on a neutral site and 22-8 ATS their last 30 vs a team with a winning record. I like Ohio here early on Saturday. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Kansas State +2 v. TCU | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 14 h 24 m | Show | |
Early action here on Saturday has the Big 12 Championship between Kansas State and TCU. The stakes are even higher than just this game for undefeated TCU. The Horned Frogs are 12-0 and No 3 in the latest College Playoff rankings. A win today and the Frogs will secure a spot in the four team playoff. Kansas State finished 9-3 and looking to avenge their loss to the Frogs earlier this year, 28-38. Kansas State became a better team after losing QB Adrian Martinez to an injury. Will Howard took over this team was better. Kansas State coming in off their win last week over Kansas, 47-27, as a 11.5-point favorite. K State is ranked 40th in the country in total offense. As stated, the stakes can't be any bigger for TCU here today. TCU will contend with one of the best pass defenses as K State allowed just 6.3 yards per attempt. If there is one knock against TCU, it's the fact that they are just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games on a neurtal site. The Wildcats have covered four of the last five in this series. I'll take a shot with the Cats here today to pull the upset and knock TCU out of the playoff picture. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Utah v. USC -2.5 | Top | 47-24 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 4 m | Show |
Lots on the line for this PAC-12 Championship game from Allegiant field in Las Vegas. The USC Trojans have their eye set on a playoff bid and they need to get by last year's PAC-12 Champion Utah Utes here tonight. Also, USC QB Caleb Williams has a great shot at the Heisman Trophy award and another great performance here tonight could really help that cause too. This is a rematch of the game from October 15th when the Utes came from behind at home to beat USC, 42-43 as a 3-point dog. The USC offense is ranked 5th overall in the country and they have a 80% red zone efficiency mark with 51 Touchdowns in 67 redzone trips, tops in the nation. Utah isn't too far back, ranked 20th in offense and a rezone efficiency of 76.6%. On the defensive side of the ball Utah much better with the 17th ranked unit compared to the Trojans' 90th ranked defense. USC hasn't won a PAC-12 Championship since 2017, but I think this is the year. The price is right on this game as USC lays 2 1/2 points. Take the Trojans here today. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Nuggets -2.5 v. Hawks | 109-117 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
It's East vs West here tonight as the Denver Nuggets head to the Southeast to take on the Atlanta Hawks. The Nuggets are 14-7 overall and one game back of the Phoenix Suns for first place in the West. They are 11-10 ATS vs the number. The Nuggets have won four straight games including back to back wins and covers over the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last four road games. The Atlanta Hawks are 6th in the East with a 12-10 record and 9-12-1 ATS mark. The Hawks snapped a three game losing skid with a win last time out at Orlando, 125-108, as a 6.5-point favorite. The Hawks are just 9-23 ATS in their last 32 games following a straight-up win. The Nuggets have covered four of the last five in this series. I look for Denver to get the win and cover here tonight. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Massachusetts v. Harvard +2 | 71-68 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
The U Mass Minutemen look to improve to 6-1 here tonight as they hit the road for a game at Harvard. They are also 4-1-1 ATS on the season. U Mass has won four games in a row since their only loss coming to Towson State, 55-67, as a 3.5-point favorite. U Mass averages 69.8 ppg while allowing 64.5 ppg. The Harvard Crimson are 6-2 S/U and 4-3 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over Holy Cross, 72-38, as a 9.5-point favorite. Harvard is averaging 69.1 ppg while allowing 63 ppg. Harvard a small home dog here tonight. The dog has done well in this series, going 5-2-1 ATS the last eight times. Should be a low scoring, close game, but I'll take the home team to come out on top. Play Harvard. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Washington State +4.5 v. Oregon | 60-74 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Conference clash in the PAC-12 here tonight as Washington State looks to build on their recent two-game win streak with a road game at Oregon. The Cougars are coming off wins over Eastern Washington, 82-56, and then last game against Detroit, 96-54, as a 11.5-point favorite. The Oregon Ducks are 3-4 S/U and ATS on the season. They snapped a three-game losing streak last game against Villanova, 74-67, as a 4-point dog. The Ducks average 68 ppg while allowing 65 ppg. To make things possibly worse for the Ducks, they could be without a starter here tonight as Center N'Faly Dante is questionable with a head injury. Washington State is 3-1 S/U and 4-0 ATS in their last four vs Oregon. I'll take the visitor here in this late tip game. Play Washington State. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Pacific +7 v. UC-Davis | 74-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
The Pacific Tigers look to snap a four game losing streak both S/U and ATS tonight at Cal Davis. The Tigers are coming off a loss at home to Cal Poly, 58-62, as a 7-point favorite. Pacific opened the season with a 2-1 S/U and 3-0 spread record. Pacific is averaging 79.6 ppg and allowing 78 ppg. UC Davis Aggies are 6-2 S/U and 4-3 ATS. The Aggies have won two straight games including their last game over Boston U, 81-70, as a 5-point favorite. Davis averages 78 ppg and allow 72.7 ppg. Both teams average about the same per game with Davis having the better defense. I'll take the points with the road dog here today. Play Pacific. |

12-01-22 | Bills v. Patriots +5 | Top | 24-10 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 8 m | Show |
Week 13 of the NFL gets underway here on Thursday with a key AFC contest as the Patriots host the Bills. The AFC East one of the best conferences in football as all four teams are above .500 on the year. The Bills are tied for first place at 8-3 with the Miami Dolphins while the Patriots are in last place with a 6-5 record. Buffalo just did get by the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, 28-25, winning on a late field goal but failing to cover the 9.5-point line. Meanwhile, the Patriots also lost last week at Minnesota, 26-33, as a 2.5-point dog. The Bills have the NFL's third best passing offense, 8th best rushing offense and 2nd best scoring offense. The Bills will be without a key defensive player though as Von Miller (knee) has been ruled out for this game. The Pats had won three straight games and five of their last six before their loss at Minnesota. The Patriots are ranked 6th in scoring defense (21.7 ppg allowed). Both teams battling for the AFC East and AFC playoff picture here tonight. The Bills are only 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five overall. The Pats are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. The dog is 5-2-1 ATS their last eight in this series. I like the Patriots here today. In fact, I won't be surprised with a straight up win. Take New England. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Valparaiso +9 v. Belmont | 64-76 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
The Valparaiso Beacons look to get back to the .500 mark tonight after a 3-4 start to their season. They are also 2-5 ATS on the year. They are coming off a win over James Madison, 81-79, as a big 15.5-point dog. Valpo is a slower paced team and thus their offensive output ranks just 214th overall with 70.8 ppg. The Belmont Bruins come into today's contest at 4-3 S/U and ATS. They started the season with a 1-3 S/U and 0-4 mark before winning three straight both S/U and ATS. Belmont is coming off a win at Georgia State, 68-66 as a 1.5-point favorite. The Bruins are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games and 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight-up win. I like the points tonight with Valpo. Take the dog. |

11-30-22 | New Mexico +9.5 v. St. Mary's | 69-65 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
The New Mexico Lobos off to a great start at 6-0 S/U and 4-1-1 ATS on the season. The Lobos are coming off a win over Northern Colorado, 98-74, as a 13.5 point favorite. The Lobos team has been scoring in bunches, averaging 84.3 ppg on the season (20th in country) and allowing just 68 ppg. They have shot at least 43.9% in each game thus far. St Mary's Gael's will rely on their 11th ranked defense here tonight. The Gaels are 6-1 S/U and 4-3 ATS on the season. Their lone loss coming in their last game at home to Washington, 64-68, losing as a 10-point favorite. The Gaels are averaging 72.4 ppg while allowing just 55.9 ppg. The Lobos are 10-4 ATS their last 14 road games vs a team with a winning home record. We'll see tonight just how good New Mexico is. Personally, I think this is too many points to give a good offensive team like the Lobos. I expect New Mexico to hit well below their season average, but still come in under the double digit dog line. Play New Mexico. |
|||||||
11-30-22 | Rockets +12 v. Nuggets | 100-120 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Western Conference battle here today has the 2nd place Denver Nuggets (13-7) hosting the last place Houston Rockets (5-15). The Rockets are only 8-9-3 ATS. However, they have won two of their last three games and covered three of their last four games. The Rockets are in a back-to-back spot here at Denver, having lost Monday, 113-129, failing to cover the +11.5 point line. The Denver Nugget are 10-10 ATS on the season after covering Monday's contest. The Nuggets are 5-13 ATS their last 18 following a s/u win. They are also 4-10 ATS their last 14 at home vs a team with a losing road record. Very difficult to cover both of these back-to-back type games. The Nuggets got Monday's game, but I expect the Rockets to cover tonight. |
|||||||
11-29-22 | Wake Forest +6.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 78-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
ACC vs Big 10 action here tonight has Wake Forest traveling to Wisconsin to take on the Badgers. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are 6-1 S/U and 3-3 ATS on the season. Their lone loss coming at home to Loyola Marymount, 75-77, as a 6-point favorite. The Deacons have been installed as the favorite in all seven of their games this season. The last two 20+ favorites as they covered both. The will be the first big test and first real road game for Wake here tonight. Wake averages 81.7 ppg and allows 68.4 ppg. Wisconsin is 5-1 both S/U and ATS with their lone loss coming to No 3 Kansas in OT, 68-69, as a 7-point dog. The Badgers don't score a lot, with just 68 their highest output in their last five games. They average just 62.7 ppg but allows just 54 ppg. Should be interesting to see if the high scoring Deacons can dent the very good defense of Wisconsin. However, the 6-points or thereabout that the Badgers have to lay look to a be a bit high. I'll take Wake here tonight as a road dog. |

11-29-22 | Baylor v. Marquette +6.5 | 70-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
The Baylor Bears are off to a 5-1 S/U and 3-3 ATS spread mark this season. Their lone loss coming at home to Virginia, 79-86 as a 5-point favorite. The Bears have won two straight since that loss, including last game over McNeese State, 89-60, failing to cover the huge spread of 37-points. The Bears lowest shooting percentage this year was 44.6% and that was in a win over UCLA, 80-75, as a 2.5-point favorite. The Bears are just 2-5 ATS their last seven against a team with a winning record and 1-6 ATS their last seven following a straight up win. The Marquette Golden Eagles are 5-2 S/U and 4-2-1 ATS on the season. They have two straight games including last time out over Chicago State, 82-68, but failing to cover the 27.5-point favorite line. Marquette in the midst of some heavy competition with Wisconsin, Notre Dame and Creighton coming up in three of their next four games. Marquette averages 80.3 ppgs this year on 46.5% shooting. Marquette loves to push the ball so this should be an interesting game. Expect a high scoring game here tonight, as I look for the home dog Marquette to stay with the Bears. |

11-29-22 | Charlotte +4.5 v. Davidson | 68-66 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
The UNC Charlotee 49ers are 5-2 S/U and ATS on the season. Their lone losses both S/U and ATS coming at Detroit, 49-70, as a 2-point favorite and at home to U Mass, 54-60, as a 1.5-point favorite. Both games the Niners shot 34% and 36.7%, their lows of the season by far. In their five wins their lowest shooting percentage was 43.4%. And they do have some nice wins over Tulsa, 68-65 and and their lone dog game vs Boise State, 54-42, as a 6-point dog. The Davidson Wildcats are 6-1 S/U and 4-2 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over San Francisco, 89-80, as a 2.5-point favorite. Their lone loss of the season came at College of Charleston back on Nov 17, 66-89, as a 3-point dog. Charlotte's defense has been their backbone, as they rank 2nd in Conference USA in points allowed (55). If Charlotte can keep Davidson from pushing the pace here today, they should be in this one at the end. I'll take the road dog here, take Charlotte. |

11-28-22 | Sam Houston State +4.5 v. Nevada | 60-78 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Sam Houston State Bearkats are looking to remain perfect on the season here tonight as they sit at 6-0 overall and 4-0 ATS. The Kats are coming off a big win over South Dakota, 80-49, as a 6-point favorite. They also have a win over Utah, 65-55, as a 10-point dog and 52-51 over Oklahoma as a 16.5-point dog. The Nevada Wolfpack are 6-1 S/U and 5-1 ATS on the season. They have wins over Akron, 62-58, as a 1.5-point favorite, and 75-66 over Tulane as a 3-point dog. Their only loss coming to Kansas State, 87-96, as a 4.5-point dog. I'm very impressed with the early resume of Sam Houston with their big wins. I'll take them here today against Nevada. |

11-28-22 | Pittsburgh +7.5 v. Northwestern | 87-58 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Pittsburgh Panthers started the season 1-3 S/U and 1-2-1 ATS. However, since then they have won three straight and gone 2-0-1 ATS. They are coming off a win over William and Mary, 80-64, as a 13.5-point favorite. NOrthwestern is coming off a loss to No 13. Auburn, 42-43, as a 7.5-point dog. That was the Wildcats first loss of the season as they sit 5-1 S/U and 4-2 ATS. The Cats are just 12-25 ATS their last 37 games at home vs a team with a losing record road record. It's Big 10 vs ACC here tonight. Pitt a fairly good sized dog here today. I'll take the points with the Panthers. |

11-28-22 | Dartmouth v. Grambling State -1.5 | 49-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 35 m | Show | |
The Dartmouth Big Green are 2-4 S/U and 1-3-1 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over Texas San Antonio on Sunday, 78-77, as a 4.5-point dog. Dartmouth is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Monday games. Dartmouth has average 77.4 ppg and allowed 75.8 ppg on the season. Grambling is 3-3 S/U and 2-3 ATS on the season. The Tigers are coming off a loss at home to Incarnate Word, 61-63, as a 9-point favorite. They have played some excellent competition, losing to Arizona State, 49-80 and beating Colorado, 83-74, as a 14.5-point underdog. Grambling has the better defense and they have played the better competition and beaten Colorado. I'll take Grambling here today. |

11-28-22 | UC-Davis -4 v. Boston University | 81-70 | Win | 100 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
Cream City Classic here from Milwaukee Wisconsin has Cal Davis taking on Boston U. Cal Davis Aggies are 5-2 S/U and 3-3 ATS on the season. The Aggies are coming off a win over Se Missouri State, 73-71, but failed to cover the 4.5-point favorite line. They did open the season with a big win over California, 75-65, as a 5-point dog. That is their big win thus far. Davis is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 overall games. The Boston Terriers are 4-3 S/U and 3-3 vs the spread. They are coming off a loss to Wisc-Milw 46-67, as a 4-point favorite. That makes two straight losses as a favorite, the other being Se Mo State, 52-63 as a 5-point favorite. This team has not shot well in either game with 25.9% and 31.6% respectively. Now they face a very good UC Davis squad. I don't believe this Boston U Terrier team is any good and it will show tonight. Take UC Davis. |

11-27-22 | Mavs v. Bucks -6.5 | 115-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
The Milwaukee Bucks are 2nd in the Eastern Conference with a 13-5 S/U record and 11-7 spread mark. The Bucks are 5-5 their last 10 games and have an overall +4.6 point differential. The Bucks have alternated wins and losses the last six games and are coming off a win over the Cavaliers, 117-102, as a 4.5-point road favorite. The Bucks are 7-2 ATS their last nine home games against a team with a losing road record. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks are 9-9 in the Western Conference. The Mavs have been bad to bettors, going 4-13-1 vs the number this year. They have dropped three straight game both S/U and ATS. They have also covered just one time in their last 14 games. Will stick with the home team here today against a very poor covering Mavericks club. Take Milwaukee |

11-27-22 | Raiders v. Seahawks -3.5 | 40-34 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 34 m | Show | |
Who would have thought starting the season that at week 12 the Seattle Seahawks would be tied for first place in the NFC West despite the departure of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. But, here they are 6-5 overall and tied with the 49ers. The Rams and Cardinals look out of the race at this point. The Seahawks four-game win streak was snapped two weeks ago at Tampa bay, 16-21, as a 2.5-point road dog. The Hawks had last week off to prepare for today's home game. After a 4-0 preseason, a lot of high expectations were on the Raiders and first year HC Josh McDaniels. But, to say it's been a letdown is going lightly as the Raiders are just 3-7 and tied for the bottom of the AFC West with Broncos. The Raiders did beat the Broncos in Denver last week in OT, 22-16. QB Derek Carr throwing a long TD to Davante Adams for the winning score. That snapped a three game losing streak. The Raiders are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. The home team has covered seven of the last nine games in this series. The favorite is also 4-1 ATS the last five meetings. The weather looks to be typical Seattle here on Sunday with rain and cool temps throughout the contest. It was a big win last week for the Raiders, but I don't see that continuing here this week. I'll take the Seahawks at home. |

11-27-22 | Belmont v. Georgia State +2 | 68-66 | Push | 0 | 2 h 4 m | Show | |
The Belmont Bruins are 3-3 S/U and 2-4 ATS so far this season. The Bruins started the season 1-4 but have since won two straight games against George Mason and then last game over Howard, 96-73, as a 7.5-point favorite. The Bruins have not been good to bettors, going 3-13 ATS their last 16 games overall and 1-6 ATS their last seven on the road. The Georgia State Panthers opened the season 2-2 S/U and 0-3 ATS their first four games. They too though have won their last two games, over Texas A&M-Comm and last game over UNC-Asheville, 74-68, as a 1-point road dog. The Panthers are 9-3-1 ATS their last 13 games following a straight-up win. Georgia State is a small home dog here today. I like the Panthers to win this one straight up. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Bears +7.5 v. Jets | 10-31 | Loss | -125 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bears are in last place in the NFC North with a 3-8 record. The Bears have lost three straight games, all by three points or fewer including last week at Atlanta, 27-27, as a 2-point dog. The Bears held the Falcons to just 280 total yards, but could muster only 288 themselves. The defense ranks 16th overall while the offense is 22nd. The NY Jets are having an excellent season at 6-4 overall and third place in the AFC East. The Jets were tied with the Pats last week 3-3 before a New England punt return for a TD with just seconds left in the game got them the loss, 3-10 as a 3-point dog. That after their huge win the week before over Buffalo, 20-17. The Jets are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games vs a team with a losing record. The Bears are also 5-0-1 ATS their last six meetings with Jets. The Jets have benched QB Zach Wilson who will miss this game. QB Mike White looks to be the starter here on Sunday with Joe Flacco the backup. The Jets have been using their 8th ranked defense to win games this year. Still, huge change of direction for this Jets team that was 5-2 since Wilson returned from his knee injury. I'll take the Bears here today. |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Bengals v. Titans +1.5 | Top | 20-16 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
The Cincinnati Bengals are in 2nd place in the AFC North with a 6-4 record and just one game back of the Ravens. The Tennessee Titans are in 1st place in the AFC South with a 7-3 record, 3-games ahead of the Colts. The Bengals are coming off a win last week at Pittsburgh, 37-30, covering the 3.5-point favorite line. The Bengals have the 7th best offense in the league and 4th best passing game. The defense is ranked 11th overall. The Titans are coming off a win at Green Bay last week, 27-17, as a 3-point dog. The Titans have covered eight straight games. Their defense is ranked 19th overall and 2nd against the rush. The offense is ranked 29th overall, 11th in rushing. The dog is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series. Not sure why Tennessee is a small home dog here today. But I'll take the points anyways and look for a Titans straight up win. Play Tennessee. |

11-26-22 | Kansas v. Kansas State -11.5 | 27-47 | Win | 100 | 20 h 1 m | Show | |
A nice rivalry game here as Kansas State hosts Kansas on Saturday. The Kansas Jayhawks started the season 4-0, but since then have lost five of six games. The Jayhawks are 6-5 and could fall to .500 to finish the season. The Jayhawks are coming off a loss at home to Texas last week, 14-55, as a 9-point dog. In fact, you have to go back week four for the last time the Hawks were installed as a favorite in a game. Kansas has a good offense, ranked 35th overall in the nation. However, it's the defense that has been bad this year, ranked 119th. Kansas hasn't beaten Kansas State in this rivalry in over 10 years. Kansas State is second in the division at 6-2 and looks to need a win here to play TCU for the Big 12 Championship. The Wildcats have won two straight games including last week at West Virginia, 40-31, as a 7.5-point favorite. The Cats are also 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games and 5-2 ATS their last seven at home. They are also 10-3 ATS their last 13 meetings with Kansas. The Favorite is 9-3 ATS the last 12 meetings. I look for a Kansas State win here on Saturday. |

11-26-22 | East Carolina +4.5 v. Old Dominion | Top | 50-71 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
The East Carolina Pirates out of the gate with a good 5-1 S/U and ATS start. The Pirate are coming off a win over Texas Arlington, 79-65, as a 6-point favorite. Their most impressive win was a 86-75 win over Toledo as a 12-point underdog. The Old Dominion Monarchs are 3-3 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss to Davidson, 61-66, as a 3.5-point dog. The Pirates offense is hitting well, averaging 79.3 ppg this season. East Carolina is led by Javon Small who averages over 20 ppg on the season. I like the scoring ability of East Carolina, especially as a dog here today. Take East Carolina. |
|||||||
11-26-22 | Kent State +19.5 v. Houston | 44-49 | Win | 100 | 3 h 38 m | Show | |
Kent State Golden Flashes off to a 5-1 start this season. They have also covered all five of their spread games. They are coming off al loss to College of Charleston, their first loss of the season, 72-74, as a 2.5-point dog. Their shooting has been very consistent this year, hitting at least 40% from the field in every game. The No 2 ranked Houston Cougars are 5-0 S/U and ATS after winning at Oregon last game, 66-56 as a 6.5-point favorite. Kent State is loaded again this year after a 23-11 campaign last year that saw them lose in the MAC Championship game. Houston lost four players from last year and is still a team that could win it all this season. Houston is great and should do well this year if they stay healthy. However, hard to lay this kind of number to a very good Kent team. I look for Kent to give them much more trouble than the oddsmaker thinks. Play Kent State. |

11-26-22 | Kent State v. Buffalo -4 | Top | 30-27 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
This is a MAC makeup game after last week's game was cancelled in Buffalo due to the snow storms. Kent State will finish their season here on Saturday as they are just 4-7 and won't be going to a bowl. Buffalo is 5-5 and needs a win to get bowl eligible. Have to wonder what motivation Kent State has here today with nothing on the line. Kent State should have been done last week, but Mother Nature made them go this week instead. The Golden Flashes have not been good on the road, going 5-11 ATS their last 16 games. They are also 1-6 ATS their last seven overall games and 1-7 ATS in their last eight conference games. Buffalo put in this must win situation because they have lost two straight games to Ohio and Central Michigan. This is senior day at Buffalo who sport the 48th ranked offense and 57th best defense. This game is all about motivation, Buffalo has it all today and Kent State just looking to go home and begin their vacation. Take Buffalo. |

11-25-22 | Arkansas v. Missouri +3.5 | 27-29 | Win | 100 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
SEC Action here today between 2-5,5-6 Missouri and Arkansas (3-4, 6-5). Missouri can get to that six win mark and make themselves Bowl eligible here today. A loss and they go home. Arkansas snapped a two-game losing streak last week with a win over Ole Miss, 42-27, as a 2.5-point dog. The Hogs offense ranks 19th in the nation, the defense though ranks at 117th. The Missouri Tigers are coming off a win over New Mexico State, 45-14. The Tigers have covered four of the last five against Arkansas in Missouri. In addition, the home team has covered nine of the last 10 times in this series. I'll take Missouri here today as the game means little to Arkansas. |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Arizona State v. Arizona -4 | 35-38 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
Rivalry game here today between Arizona State and Arizona. Arizona State playing its last game of the season today as they sit at 2-6 in conference and just 3-8 overall. Same goes for Arizona who is one spot higher at 2-6 in conference and 4-7 overall. So this is both these teams respective Bowl game and the excitement will be just as high when these two schools clash. Arizona State has lost three straight games after last week's loss at home to Oregon State, 7-31. ASU had just 276 total yards to Oregon State's 443. The offense ranks 79th in the country. Arizona had a huge upset win two weeks ago as they beat UCLA on the road, 34-28 as a 19.5-point dog. Then came back last week and lost at home to Washington State, 20-31 as a 4-point dog. The offense ranks 20th in the country. Arizona State is just 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games. The home team has covered seven of the last nine meetings. I'll stick with the home team here today. Play Arizona U. |

11-25-22 | Vermont v. Ball State +4 | 78-73 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
Early action in the Nassau Championship Tournament here today from the Bahamas with Vermont taking on Ball State. The Vermont Catamounts have struggled out of the gate, going 1-5 to start the season with a 2-4 spread record. Vermont coming off a loss at Yale, 44-73 as a 1-point favorite. That makes three straight games that the Catamounts have scored 57 or fewer points. Ball State is 3-1 S/U and 1-1 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over Indiana South Bend, 86-72 with no line. The Cardinals have scored at least 71 points in all four games. Vermont has trouble scoring while Ball State can score. Take an early gift with Ball State here on Friday. |

11-24-22 | Patriots v. Vikings -2.5 | 26-33 | Win | 100 | 22 h 39 m | Show | |
The Vikings really laid an egg last week at home in their loss to the Cowboys, 3-40. They had a paltry 73-yards rushing and 110-yards passing for just 183 total yards. They allowed the Cowboys 458 totals yards. It was a surprising outcome considering the Vikings were 8-1 and in first place in the NFC North at the time. Their status in the North is not in jeopardy though as the 4-6 Lions are the closest team to them. One good thing is that the Vikings are 20-6 ATS the week after they had 150 yards or fewer passing and 21-7 ATS the after a total of 250 yards or fewer. The Vikings still have a good home record against winning clubs, going 16-6 ATS their last 22. The 6-4 Patriots visit Minnesota today. The Pats are tied with the Jets in the AFC East behind both the Dolphins and Bills who sit at 7-3. The Patriots had a punt return for a touchdown with 5 seconds left in the game last week to get the win over the Jets, 10-3, in what was a very windy and cold Foxboro. The defense held the Jets to just 103 total yards in the cold weather. In fact, the defense has now allowed just 103 and 121 total yards the last two weeks and just six combined points. The defense has shot up to fourth in the NFL overall. I really do expect the Vikings to put forth a much better effort here today after that embarrassment on home field last week. I'll take the Vikings here today. |

11-24-22 | Mississippi State +2.5 v. Ole Miss | 24-22 | Win | 100 | 20 h 18 m | Show | |
20th ranked Ole Miss will host their rivals here on Thanksgiving evening, the Bulldogs of Mississippi State. Ole Miss is 4-3 in the SEC West and 8-3 overall and headed to bowl after this game. They won't play for the SEC title as that will fall to either LSU or Alabama. The Bulldogs are 3-4 in the West and 7-4 overall and also headed to a bowl game. Ole Miss has lost two straight games to Alabama and then last week to Arkansas, 27-42, as a 2.5-point favorite. Meanwhile, Miss State had a softball thrown their way in that of East Tennessee State, which they had little trouble with in a 56-7 win. That rebounded them from their 19-45 loss to Georgia the week before. Ole Miss is jut 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last five conference games. The road team is 6-1 ATS the last seven in this series. I'm going to take the small points with the Bulldogs here today. Play Mississippi State. |

11-24-22 | Giants v. Cowboys -10 | 20-28 | Loss | -108 | 18 h 49 m | Show | |
NFC East clash between the 7-3 Dallas Cowboys and the 7-3 NY Giants. The winner takes over sole position of 2nd place in the division, with a chance to pull within one game of 1st place Philadelphia. The NFC East was one of the worst divisions in football and now it's one of the best with the last place Commanders sitting at 6-5 and in prime playoff position. The Giants lost last week at home to the Detroit Lions, 18-31, despite having more yards than Detroit, 413-325. The Giants are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 NFC games and 0-4 ATS in their last four vs the NFC East. Dallas rolled to an easy win even though they played on the road at 8-1 Minnesota, easily winning 40-3. Tony Pollard showing he should be a full time #1 running back as he had over 100 yards receiving and let the team in rushing with two pass receiving touchdowns. Even though Ezekiel Elliot is back, it looks like Pollard might get the share of carries and is a prime target for Dak Prescot. The Cowboys have covered three of their last four games. Their lone loss coming in that game at Green Bay two weeks ago where they gave up a 28-14 lead before losing in OT. The Cowboys love playing on the artificial turf, now 20-7 ATS their last 27. They are also 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games vs the NFC East. The Cowboys are 9-2 ATS their last 11 vs the Giants and 4-1 ATS their last five at Dallas. Take the Cowboys here on Thursday. |

11-24-22 | Bills v. Lions +9.5 | 28-25 | Win | 100 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
The Buffalo Bills new home seems to be Detroit's Ford Field. The Bills played here last week as their game was moved from Buffalo do to severe snow storms. The Bills got off to slow start last week but stormed back to beat the Browns, 31-23, covering or pushing the 7.5 or 8-point line. That snapped two straight losses by the Bills to Minnesota and the Jets. The Bills are now tied with the Dolphins in the AFC East for first place with both teams at 7-3. The Patriots and Jets right behind at 6-4. The Lions pulled the improbable win last week at the Giants, winning 31-18 as a 3-point dog. The Lions only had 325 yards to the Giants 413 yards of offense. That was the third straight win for the Lions both S/U and ATS. The Lions are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games and 6-2 ATS their last eight games vs a team with a winning home record. The dog has covered four of the last five in this series and that's who I am on here today. Play the Lions. |

The Bulls hit 51.7% from the field and a season high 48.3% from 3-point stripe. That win snapped a four game s/u and ats losing streak by the Bulls. The Milwaukee Bucks are 12-4 S/U and 10-6 ATS on the season. The Bucks are coming off a win at home over Portland, 119-111, but failed to cover the 9-point favorite line. The Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games vs a team with a losing road record. They are also 7-3 ATS their last 10 overall home games. The Bucks are 6-2 ATS the last eight meetings vs the Bulls. I'll take the Bucks here tonight. |

The Golden Flashes are 17-5-1 ATS thehir last 23 games and 8-2 ATS their last 10 vs a team with a winning record. Both teams look good thus far. I'll take the few points here with the dog. Play Kent State. |

The Wright State Raiders are 4-1 S/U and 3-1 ATS to start the season. They are coming off a win last night over Abilene Christian, 77-61, covering the +2.5-point line. Their lone loss coming in their opening game to Davidson, 97-102, just missing the cover at +4-points. UC Riverside Highlanders won their tourney game last night over Weber State, 72-65, as a 3-point favorite. That win makes them 3-2 S/U and 2-2 ATS on the season. They have losses to Colorado and Creighton thus far with wins over Occidental College and Loyola Marymount. Not impressed with the Riverside wins. They haven't done well vs the better teams being blow out by 29 and 16 points. I'm taking Wright State tonight. |

11-22-22 | Creighton -1 v. Arkansas | Top | 90-87 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show |
Maui Invitational Second Round action here tonight has Creighton taking on Arkansas. Both teams are undefeated with Creighton at 5-0 and Arkansas at 4-0 on the season. Creighton won their opener in this tourney last night with a 76-65 win over Texas Tech as a 3-point favorite. They hit 55.1% from the field in the win. In fact, their last four wins the team has hit at least 51.4% from the field. They also hit 45% from 3-point line last night, their high on the season. The BlueJays are 3-2 vs the spread thus far.

Great matchup here tonight, but I'm really impressed with the overall shooting of this BlueJays team overall on the season. I'll take Creighton here tonight. |

11-22-22 | Bowling Green +7.5 v. Ohio | 14-38 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
Mid-week MAC action tonight has Bowling Green taking on Ohio in their final regular season games. The Ohio Bobcats are 1st in the East Division and can clinch with a win tonight that sends them to Detroit for the MAC title game. However, a loss by Ohio tonight and we'll have to wait for Saturday's game between Kent State and Buffalo. Bowling Green has seen great improvement this year. This is a team that was 7-22 the last three years and now they are already bowl eligible with six wins. A win tonight and they pull into a tie with the Bobcats for place in the East. They have won four of their last five games and are 3-0 in the MAC on the road this year. Ohio is led by QB Kuris Rourke and he's questionable tonight with a knee injury. If Rourke doesn't go, then that is bad news for the Cats. With his status in question I'll have to take the points with the Falcons who are a very good team. Play Bowling Green. |

11-22-22 | Ball State +3 v. Miami-OH | 17-18 | Win | 100 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
Ball State closing out their regular season here tonight at Miami Ohio. This is a huge game for the Cardinals since a win and they remain Bowl eligible. Ball State is 5-6 overall and needs this week to get to six wins. Ball State lost at home last week to Ohio, which hurt their chances for the bowl season. Also looking to get bowl eligible is Miami Ohio, which is also 5-6 on the season. They need a win here tonight also after setting up this game with last week's win over Northern Illinois, 29-23 on the road. Both teams in must win as the winner is bowl eligible and the loser is done for the season. I'm taking the small points in this contest tonight with Ball State and looking for the Cardinals to win outright. |

11-21-22 | Mississippi State v. Marquette +3.5 | 58-55 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
College hoop tourney action continues tonight with the Beach Division of the Fort Myers Tipoff. Mississippi State is 4-0 both S/U and ATS so far on the season. They are coming off a win on Thursday over South Dakota, 79-42, as a 14.5-point favorite. This will be their first game away from their home court, though not a true road game. The Marquette Golden Eagles are 3-1 S/U and ATS on the season. Their lone loss coming at Purdue, 70-75, as a 7.5-point dog. Their last game was a win over Long Island, 95-58, as a 29-point favorite. This Marquette team is 36th in the nation in scoring and tonight the Bulldogs will find it difficult to slow them down. Add to that the Bulldogs issues from 3-point arc and this looks to me like a game Marquette should take. This is the best offense that Miss State has faced and will be a big test for them here tonight. Take Marquette. |

11-21-22 | Heat v. Wolves -8.5 | 101-105 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat are 7-10 S/U and 4-12-1 ATS on the season. They are on the fourth game of a four game road trip. They have also been without star player Jimmy Butler and he looks to be out the remainder of this road trip. Also missing is Tyler Herro (ankle) who has miss six straight. The Heat were down to seven players over the weekend. Meanwhile, Minnesota goes for four straight wins here tonight. They have covered two of those, but came up a half point short in their last game, a win over the Sixers, 112-109, as a 3.5-point favorite. Not only are the Heat playing shorthanded, but they have to play the second of a back-to-back spot here on the road. Those spots are hard enough with a healthy bench, let alone a injury depleted one. It will be a while before I can play on Miami. Take Minnesota. |

11-20-22 | Pistons v. Kings -9 | 129-137 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 39 m | Show | |
The Detroit Pistons are 3-14 S/U and 7-8-2 ATS on the season. Detroit on the third game of their six game road trip as they play at Sacramento today. The Pistons coming off a loss at the Lakers on Friday, 121-128, pushing the +7-line. That makes six straight losses and a 3-4-1 ATS mark their last eight. The Pistons are 2-7-1 ATS their last 10 road games. The Sacramento Kings are 8-6 S/U and 11-3 ATS this season. The Kings have covered six straight games and are 5-1 S/U during that span. They are coming off a home win over the Spurs, 130-112, as a 7.5-point favorite. The Kings are playing very well and I look for them to extend their win and cover string here today. Play Sacramento. |

11-20-22 | VCU +10.5 v. Memphis | 47-62 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 44 m | Show | |
VCU is 3-1 S/U and 0-3-1 ATS so far this season after a win over Pittsburgh last Thursday, 71-67, pushing the 4-point favorite line. Their one loss coming at home to Arizona State, 59-63, as a 4-point favorite. Today is their first time in the dog role at Memphis. The Memphis Tigers are 1-1, beating Vandy in their opening game, 76-67 and the losing last time out at St Louis, 84-90, as a 3-point dog. Memphis shot only 40% in their loss after hitting over 50% in their win. The Tigers play their first game at home here today. Both these teams excel on defense and both have played some good competition. Not sure Memphis should be a double-digit favorite here today. My numbers have them considerably less. VCU has not covered but they also haven't been a dog either. I'll take the VCU Rams here plus these generous point. |

11-20-22 | Cowboys v. Vikings +1.5 | 40-3 | Loss | -110 | 148 h 16 m | Show | |
Not too often you can get a 8-1 team as a small home dog. But that's the case here on Sunday as the Dallas Cowboys visit Minnesota to face the Vikings. The Vikings just coming off a huge win at Buffalo in OT, 33-30. That after trailing one of the best defensive teams in the league, 10-24 at the half. As for Dallas, the Cowboys led the Packers 28-14 before the Packers came back with 14 points in the fourth quarter to tie the game and then won in OT, 31-28. I'm sorry, but no way the Vikings should be any dog in this game. I'll take this price early on Minnesota. |

11-20-22 | Bengals v. Steelers +4 | 37-30 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 22 m | Show | |
The Cincinnati Bengals sitting at 5-4 and one game back of the Ravens in the AFC North. They will face last place North team Pittsburgh Steelers here today who are 3-6. The Bengals rebounded from their loss to Cleveland three weeks ago, 13-32, with a nice win two weeks ago at home over Carolina, 42-21. The Bengals had last week off to prepare for today. The Bengals offense ranks 8th overall in the NFL with the passing game at 6th. The defense comes in at 10th overall. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat New Orleans last week at home, 20-10, as a 1.5-point favorite. The Steelers rushed for a season-high 217 yards while holding the Saints to just 186 total yards (29 on the ground). The Steelers defense hasn't been that good all season, ranking 27th overall and 30th vs the pass. Though they have been good at stopping the run (6th). The Steelers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven home games. They are also 22-10-1 ATS their last 33 meetings with the Bengals. I'll take the points at home with the Steelers and look for an outright Pittsburgh win today. |

11-20-22 | Jets +3.5 v. Patriots | Top | 3-10 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 58 m | Show |
The NY Jets might be the most surprising team this year with their 6-3 record and just one game behind the Miami Dolphins for the lead in the AFC East. But in the competitive East division all the teams are bunched up with the last placed Patriots at 5-4 and just two games back of first place. That makes a game like this today so important to both teams. Especially when you have the 6-3 Bills in the mix of things. The Jets coming off the big upset last week of the Bills, 20-17, as a 10.5-point dog. The Jets have now covered five of their last six games. The Jets have also had a very good defense, ranked 7th in the NFL. The Patriots coming off a win last week over the Colts, 26-3. They have also covered five of their last six games. The Patriots defense is 12th in the league. The Jets have an edge on offense where they are 18th in the league compared to the Patriots at 26th. I expect a close game here on Sunday. Neither team will run away with this one so the line is important. I'll take the points with a Jets team that can easily win outright. Play the NY Jets. |

11-20-22 | Panthers +13 v. Ravens | 3-13 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
It's AFC vs NFC here today as the NFC South Carolina Panthers take on the AFC North Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are in first place in the division with a 6-3 record. They lead the Bengals by one game. The Ravens have won three straight games, including two weeks ago at New Orleans, 27-13, as a 1.5-point favorite. The Ravens had last week off. That makes two straight covers for the Ravens. The Ravens are just 3-9-1 ATS their last 13 games following an ATS win. They are also 1-4 ATS their last five games following a bye week. The Panthers made some wholesale changes to their team when they traded Christian McCaffery away to the 49ers. Still, they have been competitive, covering three of the last four. The Panthers also had a bye week last week after beating the Falcons the week before, 25-15, as a 2.5-point dog. The Baltimore defense ranks 19th while Carolina comes in at 25th. The Ravens are 12th on offense while the Panthers are 30-th. These teams last met in 2018 when Carolina won at home, 36-21 as a small dog. Panthers getting around 13-points here today. I believe that might be a bit much though the way the Panthers have been covering spreads. I'll take a shot with Carolina here today. |

11-20-22 | Browns +8 v. Bills | 23-31 | Push | 0 | 16 h 57 m | Show | |
The Buffalo Bills lose their home stadium here due to the snow issues in the area. The game was moved to Detroit's covered stadium on artificial turf. Buffalo coming off two straight losses, last week they had the lead and couldn't hold on against Minnesota, 30-33, losing in OT as a 6.5-point favorite. The week before they lost to the Jets in New Jersey, 17-20. That makes three straight spread losses for the Bills. Granted, QB Josh Allen has been battling some injuries here of late. Buffalo still has the league's top rated offense overall and the 8th ranked defense. The Browns expect QB Deshaun Watson to start here today after his suspension was finally over. Jacoby Brissett has been good in the QB role though, so should be interesting to see which way they go today. Cleveland looks to bounce back after losing last week at Miami, 17-39, as a 3.5-point dog. That coming after their big win over the Bengals the week before, 32-13. The move has to hurt the Bills more than the Browns here today. I'll take the TD+ today with the Browns. |

11-19-22 | UNLV v. Hawaii +11.5 | 25-31 | Win | 100 | 24 h 8 m | Show | |
Late and last game on the board here on Saturday has a Mountain West clash with UNLV playing at Hawaii. UNLV started the season 3-0 and since has gone 1-6. They need to win out their last two games tonight at Hawaii and then at home vs Nevada to be 6-6 on the season and maybe a shot at a bowl game. Hawaii coming off a loss last week at home to Utah State, 34-41, covering the 11.5-point dog line. The Rainbow Warriors have covered five of their last six games, though they are just 3-8 S/U mark. The Warriors will close out their season next week at San Jose State. The Rebels have done well covering spreads, going 10-4 ATS their last 14 games and 4-1 ATS their last five on the road. The problem I have here is that UNLV laying 11-points. They are not the type of team to cover big spreads as a favorite and Hawaii has done well vs the number, especially at home. I'll take a shot here with Hawaii plus the double digit points. |

11-19-22 | USC v. UCLA +2.5 | 48-45 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 19 m | Show | |
Huge rivalry game here as No 7 USC travels the short distance across town to take on UCLA at the Rose Bowl. USC is in 1st in the PAC-12 standings with a 7-1 conference record and 9-1 overall mark. No 16 UCLA is 5-2 in PAC-12 play and 8-2 overall. USC enters those final two games of the season that always including UCLA and then Notre Dame, so no easy games for the Trojans. USC's only loss this season coming bac, on Oct 15 as Utah came from behind to nip the Trojans, 43-42. UCLA coming off a loss last week at home against Arizona, 28-34, as a huge 19.5-point favorite. It's obvious that the Bruins looked past Arizona to this game this week. They close out the regular season at Cal next week. UCLA beat USC last year in big fashion, 62-33 as a 5-point road dog. That makes UCLA 3-2 ATS the last five meetings. USC is just 6-14-2 ATS their last 22 road games vs a team with a winning home record. They are also 2-5 ATS their last seven road games overall. UCLA is 8-2 ATS their last 10 conference games and 5-2 ATS their last seven overall. UCLA a small home dog here but I look for them to win this game outright before a packed house of rabid fans at the Rose Bowl. Take UCLA. |

11-19-22 | Iowa +3 v. Minnesota | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 17 h 8 m | Show | |
The Big 10 West is wide open for a winner between four teams and two of them meet here today as 4-3 Iowa takes on 4-3 Minnesota. Both teams heading to bowls no matter what happens. Iowa has the third best defense in college football. It's the offense that has had troubles this season as they rank only 129th. Iowa has won three straight since losing to Ohio State, that includes last week over Wisconsin, 24-10, as a 1.5-point dog. Minnesota has won three straight games, including last week over Northwestern, 31-3. After Iowa they close out at Wisconsin the final week. Iowa is 5-0-1 ATS their last six meetings with Minnesota. They are also 4-1 ATS their last five games at Minnesota. I like this defense of Iowa and as a dog here today they should be right in it until the end. Play Iowa. |

11-19-22 | Western Kentucky +5.5 v. Auburn | 17-41 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 7 m | Show | |
Western Kentucky down to its final two games of the regular season. The Hilltoppers are 6-5 and looking to make it to a bowl with a win in one of the two final games. After Auburn this week they will travel to Florida Atlantic for their final regular season game. Auburn having an off season likely isn't going anywhere this bowl season. The Tigers are just 2-5 in the SEC West and 4-6 overall. They are coming off a narrow win last week at home over Texas A&M, 13-10, as a 2-point home favorite. The Auburn defense ranks only 74th overall this season while Western Ky is 60th. Meanwhile, W.Ky has one of the better offenses in the country, ranked 14th. Western is 7-1 ATS their last eight vs a team with a losing record and 19-7-1 ATS their last 27 road games. Auburn is 2-6 ATS their last eight road games and 0-6 ATS their last six vs a non-conference team. I'm taking Western Kentucky here on Saturday as they still have a bowl berth to play for. |

11-19-22 | San Jose State +5.5 v. Northern Colorado | 80-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
The San Jose State Spartans hit the road today to take on Northern Colorado. The Spartans are 3-1 to start the season, losing their first game last time out at home to Hofstra, 76-85, as a 2.5-point dog. The Spartans led this game by 10-points at half but couldn't hold on in the 2nd half. Northern Colorado Bears are 1-2 and coming off a road loss to Baylor, 62-95, failing to cover the generous 28-point dog line. They are 0-3 vs the number thus far after failing to cover vs Houston and Texas A&M-Commerce. They lost to Houston in their opener 36-83. Spartans could easily be 4-0 if they didn't go to sleep in the 2nd half of the game against a very good Hofstra team. The Bears just too erratic thus far with some huge losses. I'll take San Jose State today. |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Texas v. Kansas +9.5 | Top | 55-14 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 44 m | Show |
Big 12 action here on Saturday has Texas (6-4, 4-3) taking on Kansas (6-4, 3-4). TCU has the conference wrapped-up at 7-0, but after that only one game separates the next four teams. Texas coming off a loss at home to TCU last week, 10-17, as a 7-point favorite. The Longhorns finish up at home next week vs Baylor. Kansas lost at Texas Tech last week, 28-43 as a 4-point dog. The Jayhawks will finish up at Kansas State next week. Texas just 4-10 ATS their last 14 games in the Big 12. They are also 2-5 ATS their last seven road games. Kansas 5-0-1 ATS their last six home games and 10-2-1 ATS their last 13 overall games. Kansas has also covered the last five vs Texas. The dog is also 5-0 ATS the last five meetings. Kansas getting almost 10 points looks like a gift to me. I'll take Kansas plus the points. |

11-19-22 | Maryland +3.5 v. St. Louis | 95-67 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
Hall of Fame basketball Tip Off Tourney heads into their Semi-Finals today and the early matchup has Maryland taking on St Louis. The St Louis Billikins are 3-0 to start the season after their win over Memphis, 90-84. Same goes for the Maryland Terps, a perfect 3-0 heading into today's contest. Maryland's wins not as impressive with victories over Niagara, Western Carolina and then last game over Binghamton, 76-52. Though they have covered all three games. Billikin wins have been a bit more impressive with an opening win over Murray State, 91-68, Evansville, 83-65 and then last game over Memphis as a 3-point favorite. They are 2-1 ATS in their three games. One big advantage for the Terps today will be in height and that should help them on the defensive boards where they have struggled thus far. St Louis has lost five straight to the Big 10, yet here they are a favorite today. Maryland is 8-3 ATS their last 11 games and I'll take a Big 10 team here on Saturday getting points. Play Maryland. |

11-19-22 | Illinois +17.5 v. Michigan | 17-19 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
Big 10 clash here on Saturday between two of the best defenses in the nation. Illinois is 2nd in the nation in overall defense, right behind No 1 Michigan. Both teams also have excellent redzone efficiency levels of less than 60%. Illinois is 7-3 overall on the season. The Illini are tied for 1st with Purdue, Iow and Minnesota in the Big 10 West, all with 4-3 conference records. Michigan and Ohio State are tied at 7-0 in the Big 10 East and meet next week in the final regular season game to likely determine the winner of the East and trip to the Big 10 Championship. Have to wonder if the Wolverines have their eyes set to next week on Ohio State. Yes, Illinois is very good, but the aren't quite in the league of Michigan. Michigan coming off an easy win last week over Nebraska, 34-3. Illinois is 9-4 ATS their last 13 games and 8-2-1 ATS their last 11 vs a team with a winning record. The Wolverines are good though, going 12-3-1 ATS their last 16 conference games. The Fighting Illini are 5-2 ATS their last seven games against Michigan and the dog is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings. I have to believe that Michigan looking to next week vs the Buckeyes. I'll take the big points here with a very good defensive Illinois team. |

11-18-22 | Hornets v. Cavs -9 | 122-132 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
The Charlotte Hornets just 4-12 so far this season. They are coming off a loss to Indiana, 113-125. That makes 1-8 S/U and 2-7 ATS their last nine games. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 8-6 S/U and ATS on the year. They have played six of their last seven games on the road before returning home here tonight. They have lost five straight games both S/U and ATS after starting the season 8-1. The Cavs are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 Friday games and 6-1 in their last seven home games. The Cavs have been in a funk of late, but home cooking looks to be the fix for that. Play Cleveland. |

11-18-22 | Massachusetts v. Murray State +2 | 71-69 | Push | 0 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
Myrtle Beach Invitational from Conway, SC has second round action here early on Friday as Murray State takes on U Mass. U Mass Minutemen beat Colorado last night in this tourney, 66-63, covering the 5.5-point dog line. That makes U Mass, 2-1 both S/U and ATS on the season. In their lone loss at home to Towson, 55-67, they shot just 34.5% from the field and 21.4% from 3-point arc. They held Colorado to just 34.2% last night in their win. Murray State Racers are 2-1 S/U and 1-1 ATS after beating Texas A&M last night, 88-79 as a 13-point dog. This was by far their best effort of the season as they shot 50% from the field and hit 45.5% of their three-point shots. U Mass a small favorite here today, but my own numbers show that Murray should be the small favorite. I'll take the points. Play Murray State. |

11-17-22 | Towson -1 v. NC-Greensboro | 56-53 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Towson State Tigers look to keep their perfect record in tact as they hit the road to play at NC Greensboro. The Tigers are 3-0 S/U and 2-1 ATS on the season after beating Penn in their last game, 80-74, as a 3-point favorite. They have played two road games and won and covered both, outscoring the home teams by a 73.5 to 64.5 ppg average. The Greensboro Spartans are 1-1 S/U and 0-1 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at Miami, 65-79, as a 10-point dog. Their win coming at home over J&W Charlotte, 93-60. Towson has been a very good road team, going 15-4 ATS their last 19 away games. The Spartans are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games and 0-6 ATS their last six overall. Towson looks the better team here tonight. Play Towson. |

Myrtle Beach Invitational first round here tonight from Conway, SC has Boise State taking on NC Charlotte. Boise State is 1-1 this season after winning their last game over Washington State, 71-61, as a 2-point dog. The NC Charlotte 49ers are coming of a win over Maryland Eastern Shore, 80-47, as a 12.5-point favorite. Boise State opened with a loss to South Dakota State. The 49ers look to remain perfect tonight. They have averaged 81 points through two games and hit 56.9% of their field goals and 40% from three point arc. I don't like the way the Broncos have struggled offensively through two games. Meanwhile the 49ers have been hot. It's early but I like the way Charlotte has played. Take Charlotte. |

11-16-22 | Knicks v. Nuggets -3.5 | 106-103 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
The Knicks played last night in Utah and despite trailing by double digits at one point they rallied to win the game 118-111, as a 4.5-point dog. Now they come right back tonight and hit another high altitude city as they play at Denver. The Knicks are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 overall games. They are also 0-5 ATS their last five games following a straight up win. The Knicks are 7th in the East with a 7-7 record and -1.5 point differential. The Nuggets are 2nd in the West with a 9-4 record and are 4-0 at home. The Nuggets rebounded from their loss at Boston on Friday with a win on Sunday at Chicago, ending their road stint at 3-1 S/U and 1-3 ATS. Now they return home where they have yet to lose and are 3-1 vs the spread with a _14.3 point differential. The Nuggets have covered the last four in this series and six of the last eight in Denver. I give it to the Knicks for winning at Utah last night, but can't see them taking down two of the best teams in West in back-to-back games. Play Denver. |

11-16-22 | Missouri State +10 v. BYU | 64-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
The Missouri State Bears visit Provo, Utah tonight to take on the BYU Cougars. The Bears are 1-0 while BYU is 1-1. These teams played each other last year in Missouri State with BYU winning that game, 74-68 as a 1.5-point favorite. Mo State beat Missouri Science Tech last week, 82-47. Can't take a lot away from that game though against such an inferior opponent. This early in the season offensive and defensive stats mean little against the teams they are playing. Byu beat Idaho State, 60-56, but didn't come close to the 23.5-favorite line. Then last time out the Cougars lost at No 17 San Diego State, 82-75, this time as a 11-point dog. Missouri State getting almost 10 points here tonight. Considering the BYU outcome against Idaho State, this Mo State team should do better. I'll take the points early in the season. Play Missouri State. |

11-16-22 | SE Missouri State +2 v. Evansville | 67-61 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
SE Missouri State Redhawks are 2-0 as they hit the road tonight to play at Evansville. The Hawks opened their season with a win over South Florida, 64-61, as a 11-point dog. Then came back last game against Lyon and won easily, 83-46 with no line on the game. The Evansville Aces are 1-1 on the season, beating Miami Ohio in their opener, 78-74 as a 6-point dog and then lost at St Louis last game, 65-83 as a 23.5 point dog. SE Mo looks the better team early in the season, playing well on both ends of the court. They allow just 53 ppg thus far and their defense should have little issues today with this Evansville team. Looks to me the Redhawks should have been favored in this one, but that's ok, I'll take the small points with the visitors. |

11-16-22 | Iowa +1.5 v. Seton Hall | 83-67 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
Iowa Hawkeyes (2-0) hit the road today to Newark, NJ to take on the 2-0 Seton Hall Pirates. Iowa coming off an easy win over NC A&T, 112-71. Seton Hall coming into tonight after beating St Peter's, 8-44. Iowa also beat Bethune Cookman to start the season, 89-58. The Hawkeyes covering both spreads as 20+ favorites. Seton Hall beat Monmouth in their opener, 79-52, also covering both games thus far. Tonight will be the first good test for both clubs. Both teams put up excellent numbers against poor opposition. Iowa is 8-2 ATS their last 10 games while Seton Hall is 3-10 ATS their last 13 home games. I'll take the Big 10 team here today. Play Iowa. |

11-16-22 | Eastern Michigan +7.5 v. Kent State | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
With Toledo losing last night, Eastern Michigan still can't take the AMC West because they still trail the Rockets by two games and lost to them a few weeks ago. Toledo is 5-2 and Eastern is right behind at 3-3. Eastern Michigan finishes with Central Michigan next week. Still, looks like Eastern can make a bowl game as they really only need one win in these last two weeks. Eastern beat Akron last week, 34-28, as a 7-point road favorite. Kent State beat Bowling Green last week, 40-6 and after tonight they finish at Buffalo. The Golden Flashes are in 4th in the MAC East with a 3-3 record and 4-6 overall record. Doesn't look good for the flashes to make a bowl game this year either. Still, not sure how they are a TD favorite here tonight against an equal or better Eastern Michigan team. More on the line for Eastern here tonight so I'll take the points. Play Eastern Michigan. |

The NY Knicks are 10th in the NBA in the East with a 6-7 record. They have a -2.1 point differential and are coming off a loss to OK City, 135-145. The Knicks led that game by double digits in the first half but couldn't contain the Thunder offense. The start a five game road swing tonight at Utah. It's always difficult to play in Utah at the altitude. The Knicks are now 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games and 2-5-1 ATS their last eight after 1 day rest. The Utah Jazz are 3rd in the West with a 10-5 record and have a +4.2 point differential. The Jazz look to snap a two-game losing skid here tonight. Utah won the opener of their three game road trip at Atlanta, but then lost to Washington and last game at Philly, 98-105. Until these last two losses, the Jazz had covered seven straight games. The Jazz are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Utah is 25-9 ATS in their last 34 vs the Knicks and 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings in Utah. Take the Jazz tonight. |

Two very good teams meet in a marquee matchup here tonight as 2-0 Purdue hosts 2-0 Marquette. It's the Big 10 vs the Big East. Marquette opened with win over Radford, 76-69 and then beat Central Michigan, 97-73. They failed to cover vs Radford but did get the cover against Central Michigan as a 18-point favorite. Purdue opened with an easy win over Wisc Milwaukee, 85-53 and then beat Austin Peay, 63-44, as a 25-point favorite. Purdue is 3-7-1 ATS their last 11 games at home and 3-10-2 ATS their last 15 games overall. Marquette will try to push the pace in this game while Purdue looks for a half court game. Both teams haven't played anyone of consequence yet. I'm going to take the points in this one. Play Marquette. |

The Falcons gave up 201 yards rushing and 214 yards passing. Toledo leads the MAC West with a 7-3 record. The are coming off a win last week over Ball State, 28-21, failing to cover the 13.5 point spread. Bowling Green is just 7-15 ATS their last 22 conference games and 1-3-1 ATS their last five road games. They have also not played well in November, going 2-10 ATS their last 12 in this month. Toledo is 7-3-1 ATS their las 11 vs Bowling Green. I'll take the Rockets here tonight as they look to win the West |

11-14-22 | Commanders +11 v. Eagles | Top | 32-21 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
The Washington Commanders are in last in the NFC North with a 4-5 record. THey have the bad luck of playing in what is arguable the best division in football as the other three teams are at least 6-2 in their records. Washington coming off a game they know they could have won last week as they hosted Minnesota and lost, 17-20. The Vikings have the 2nd best record in the NFL and came within minutes of winning that contest. That makes the team 3-1 their last four games all with QB Carson Wentz out. Wentz will again miss tonight's contest with that finger issue. That means Taylor Heinicke will once again be at the helm. For me, I would rather have Heinicke at QB instead of Wentz. For me he's led this team and has performed better. The Philadelphia Eagles are the best team in the NFL right now with the only perfect record at 8-0. They lead the Giants by 1.5 games right now in the NFC East. The Eagles are coming off a win over Houston last week, 29-17, but they failed to cover the 14-point spread. Still, they are 5-3 ATS overall on the season. The Eagles have the NFL's third best offense and third best defense. Washington is 21st in offense and 14th in defense. The dog is 3-1-1 ATS the last five games in this series. I expect the Washington defense to keep them close and Heiniecki to play well enough to cover this spread. Take the double digit points with Washington. |

11-14-22 | Raptors v. Pistons +5.5 | 115-111 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Eastern Conference clash here tonight has the Toronto Raptors taking on the Detroit Pistons. The Raptors are in 6th place in the East with a 7-7 record. They have a +2.3 point differential this season. The Raptors are on a road trip and have dropped the first two games of this trip to Oklahoma City, 113-132 and last game at Indiana, 104-118. They look to get back in the win column tonight against the worst team in the East, Detroit. The Pistons are just 3-11 on the season and have the worst point differential at -10.0 ppg. The Pistons have lost their last three games and are 1-4-1 ATS their last five games. They are coming off a loss at home to Boston, 108-117, failing to cover the 8-point dog line. The Raptors have not been good to bettors, going 0-4 ATS their last four games and 3-7 ATS their last 10 games following an ATS loss. Detroit is 4-1 ATS their last five games at home vs a team with a losing road record. The Pistons have also covered the last six games in this series and are 5-2 ATS the last seven meetings in Detroit. I'll take a shot here with the points at home on the Pistons and hope the Raptors continue their poor road play. Take Detroit. |

11-13-22 | Colts v. Raiders -6 | Top | 25-20 | Loss | -110 | 122 h 58 m | Show |
Have to wonder if Raiders HC Josh McDaniels is on a short leash with his job these days. The Raiders led the Jacksonville Jaguars by 17-points, the second time this year they have blown a 17-point lead. And of course, lost to the Jags last Sunday, 20-27. Have to wonder how many big leads the Raiders can blow before the top of Mark Davis' head blows off. Well, this might be the week for the Raiders to get well. If there was one coach and team that has done worse it has been the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts had a very lackluster performance last week in their loss at New England, 3-26. In fact, it was the last straw for Colts HC Frank Reich who was fired after the game. The Colts named Jeff Saturday interim coach for the rest of the season. I believe the Colts have given up on the season and while the Raiders have blown leads, at least they have the offensive weapons to get leads. The Colts have no one right now, not even running back Jonathan Taylor who missed last weeks game with an ankle injury. Get on this one early as I only see the Raiders line going up. Play LV Raiders. |

11-13-22 | Youngstown State +10.5 v. Notre Dame | 81-88 | Win | 100 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Youngstown looking to improve to three wins here today at Notre Dame. The Penquins have wins over Canisius and UT Martin. Not exactly in the same class as today's opponent. Notre Dame Irish had to come from behind in a shaky first start vs Radford, winning 79-76 but failing to cover the 18-point favorite line. This is a very experienced Youngstown team and are shooting a very good 47% from the field this year. Still yet to be seen if this Notre Dame team will get better on defense. We know they have the power on offense, but they will need to cover some big spreads. Once again they are laying double digits today. This should be a very good contest today and I believe Youngstown gives the Irish all they can handle. Take the points with Youngstown St. |

11-13-22 | Towson -3.5 v. Pennsylvania | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 4 h 23 m | Show | |
The Towson Tigers off to a 2-0 start to this season will be looking for their second road win here today at Penn. The Penn Quakers are still looking for that first win after dropping their first two games. Towson is coming off a win over U Mass, 67-55 as a 3.5-point dog. Penn is coming off a loss to Missouri, 85-92 as a 12-point dog. Towson has been good defensively thus far, allowing an average of just 58.5 ppg. Penn has averaged just 67.5 ppg, though struggling on defense as they have allowed 85 ppg. The offensive struggling Quakers will play right into the defensive minded Towson Tigers today. Defense makes the difference in this one. Play Towson. |

11-13-22 | Oklahoma State v. Oakland +8.5 | 91-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 23 m | Show | |
Non conference battle here as the Big 12's Oklahoma State travels to Michigan to take on Horizon League's Oakland U. Ok State couldn't quite get there in in their last game at home, losing to Southern Illinois, 60-61. Oakland also coming off a loss at home to Bowling Green, 82-87. Oklahoma State struggled against a mid-major team on their home court and that loss dropped them to 1-1 on the season. The Cowboys only averaging 68.5 ppg thus far. Oakland Golden Grizzlies look to upset the Cowboys for the second straight season. The Grizzlies also dropped to 1-1 after that recent home loss. The Grizzlies are scoring though, averaging 87 ppg thus far. They are also playing well on defense, allowing just 57 ppg. Both teams looking to this game to get them back on track. For me, Oakland getting generous points at home and is able to put points on the board. Play Oakland. |

11-13-22 | Pacific v. North Dakota State -5.5 | 91-86 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
The Pacific Tigers are just 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 road games and 6-22-1 ATS in their last 29 overall games. Pacific looks to get into the win column after losing their opening game to Stanford, 78-88. ND State Bison also looking to rebound from an opening loss to Kansas, 59-82. ND State is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games. Both teams struggled early though the Bison played a very good Kansas team. Have to go against Pacific here as they just are not a good road team. PLay North Dakota State. |

11-13-22 | Lions v. Bears -2.5 | Top | 31-30 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
NFC North contest here as last place Detroit Lions (2-6) takes on the next to last place Chicago Bears (3-6). In the North, only the Vikings have a winning record at 7-1 and 4.5-games in first place. The Lions are coming off a improbable win over Green Bay last week, 15-9. Despite having the worst defense in the NFL, the Lions held the Packers to just nine points and picked-off Aaron Rodgers twice in the end zone. The Bears are coming off a loss at home to Miami, 32-35, though they covered the four-point dog line. The Chicago defense is a bit better at 18th in the NFL. The Bears offense ranks 24th while the Lions come in at 7th. The Bears are 3-1-1 ATS their last five home games. The Bears have are also 4-1-1 ATS their last six meetings with the Lions at Chicago. Small home favorite in Chicago, I'll lay the price here with the Bears. |

11-13-22 | Saints v. Steelers +1 | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 14 h 16 m | Show | |
The New Orleans Saints are 3-6 overall on the season and in third place in the NFC South. The Saints are coming off a home loss to the Ravens, 13-27. The Saints are now just 3-6 vs the spread on the season. The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-6 overall and in last place in the AFC North. The Steelers are coming off a loss to instra-state rival Philadelphia, 13-35. The Saints are 6th in the NFL in total offense while the Steelers are 28th. The Saints are also 11th on offense with the Steelers 29th. Still, though the Saints are not having a good season. The Steelers did have last week off to rest and get ready for today. Both teams had poor first halves of the season and both played the Bengals and Bucs. The Steelers beat both those teams while the Saints lost to both. With the week off to prepare and maybe seeing the return of NFL Defensive player of the Year, TJ Watt, I'm taking the Steelers here today. |

11-13-22 | Jaguars +9.5 v. Chiefs | 17-27 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
The Jacksonville Jaguars may only be 3-6 in the NFL but they have put scares into some teams this year. The Jags went on the road at beat Vegas last week, 27-20. They just lost to Denver the week before, 17-21 and New York Giants the week before that , 17-23. They have the 8th ranked offense, 7th ranked rushing attack in the league. Kansas City is 6-2 on the season and one game ahead of the LA Chargers for first place in the AFC West. The Chiefs are the only team in the West with a plus point differential (+57). The Chiefs are coming off a home win last week over Tennessee, 20-17, but failing to cover the 14-point favorite line. The Chiefs have the 2nd ranked offense in the league and top ranked passing attack. The Chiefs are now 0-6 ATS in their last six games vs the AFC and 0-5 ATS in their last five home games. Not covering at home shows how over valued the oddsmaker has made them at home this season. And today I believe they are laying too many points once again. Play Jacksonville. |

11-13-22 | Browns +3.5 v. Dolphins | 17-39 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
AFC Clash here on Sunday between the Cleveland Browns and the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are in the most competitive division in football with the Bills, Jets and Patriots, just 1.5 games separate first from last. The Dolphins are a half game in second place with a 6-3 record. Miami won on the road last week at Chicago, 35-32. It was the team's third win in a row after losing to Minnesota four weeks ago. The Dolphins have the fifth best offense in the league and the 22nd best in defense. The Browns are 15th in defense and fourth in offense thanks to their 3rd ranked rushing offense. The Browns are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games vs a team with a winning home record while Miami is 1-5 ATS in their last six games and 1-4 ATS their last five games vs a team with a losing record. I think this game will come down to the final minutes and I will take the points in this one. Play Cleveland. |

11-13-22 | Thunder v. Knicks -4.5 | 145-135 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 5 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder are 5-7 on the season and snapped a four-game S/U and ATS losing streak last time out with a win at home over Toronto, 132-113. The Thunder are 1-4 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the road this season and getting outscored 107.8-113.6 thus far. The Knicks look to get above the .500 mark today as they sit at 6-6 overall. The Knicks are coming off a home win over the Pistons, 121-112, pushing the 9-point favorite line. They are 3-2 S/U and 1-2-1 ATS in their last five games. The Knicks are 4-2 S/U and 2-3-1 ATS at home and out scoring opponents 119-116 thus far on their home court. This is the first game of a four game road swing for OKC. I will take the Knicks at home here in this early Sunday start. Always tougher for the West/Mid West teams to make the East coast trip, especially starting at this early time. Play New York. |

11-13-22 | Seahawks +3 v. Bucs | 16-21 | Loss | -115 | 89 h 1 m | Show | |
These teams playing the first ever game in Germany on Sunday get the early start at 6:30 PT / 9:30 am ET. Who would have figured the Seattle Seahawks to be in first place in the NFC West with the defending champion Rams and the 49ers. But, they are and they are 1.5-games ahead of the Niners with a 6-3 record. Everyone kind of figured the departure of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos would mean this was a rebuilding period for Seattle. However, Geno Smith has come in and actually played better than Wilson has for the Broncos. Another anomaly is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 4-5 with Tom Brady. But would you believe they are tied for first place in the horrible NFC South? Every team in the division has a sub-.500 record this year. Tom Brady has not looked his old self this year, but part of that is due to injuries to his receivers. The Bucs have the 19th ranked offense and last place rushing offense. They average a paltry 61 yards this year on the ground. Seattle's offense ranks 11th overall and 9th in rushing. Tampa Bay does have the 9th ranked defense, but it was much higher earlier in the season and has steadily declined week by week. Tampa Bay hasn't covered a spread since week 2 of the season vs the Saints. Since then they have gone 0-6-1 ATS. Seattle playing well, they cover spreads and don't look out of sync like the Bucs. Yet, Tom Brady gets the bettors and here the Bucs are a 3-point favorite. Not sure how that happened, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I'll take the points with Seattle. |

11-12-22 | Rockets v. Pelicans -10.5 | 106-119 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
A pair of Western conference teams face off today as the Houston Rockets play at New Orleans to face the Pelicans. The Rockets are dead last in the West with a 2-10 record and the worst point differential in the West with a -7.5 ppg. Rockets coming off a loss at Toronto, 109-116, though they covered the +10 dog line. The Rockets are just 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to New Orleans. The Pelicans are 6-6 and in 8th in the West. They have a +2.7 point differential. The Pelicans are coming off a loss at Portland, 95-106, as a 9-point favorite. New Orleans is 10-4 ATS their last 14 times they are coming off a straight-up loss. This should be a good spot for the Pelicans tonight against a poor Houston club. Take New Orleans. |

11-12-22 | Arkansas State +19.5 v. LSU | 52-61 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Both teams looking for their second wins of the young season after opening with wins. Arkansas State Red Wolves are coming off a dominating win over Harding, 86-55. Ark State dominated both ends of the court as they cruised to the easy win. LSU is coming off a win over Kansas City, 74-63 and was much closer then expected. Not convinced the Tigers are all that great at this juncture of the season as they struggled vs a team they should have dominated. I'll take Arkansas State plus the generous points today. |

11-12-22 | Louisville +7 v. Clemson | 16-31 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 49 m | Show | |
A pair of ACC Atlantic teams meet here on Saturday as Clemson hosts Louisville. Clemson is ranked 10th in the nation and is 6-0 and will win the ACC Atlantic with a date for the Conference Championship game. Louisville is 3-3 and in 5th in the Atlantic. The Cardinals have won four straight games both S/U and ATS, including last week over James Madison, 34-10 as a 7.5-point favorite. They are ranked 44th in offense and 29th in defense. Clemson is 8-1 S/U and 4-4 ATS on the season. The Tigers Have Miami Fl and South Carolina left after today. Clemson has the 61st ranked offense and 27th ranked defense. The Tigers coming off that loss last week at Notre Dame, 14-35 to break-up their undefeated season. Clemson is just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games. I'm taking the points here today with Louisville. |

11-12-22 | Ball State +7.5 v. Indiana State | 71-83 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Non-Conference battle here has the MAC and MVC bash heads. Ball State takes to the road to face Larry Bird's Alma Mater at Indiana State. The Ball State Cardinals opened with a win over Earlham College, DIV 3 foe, 109-39. Indiana State also had an easy time against Green Bay, 80-53. I look at these early contests when we are waiting to see how the talent pans out further down the season. I like that Ball State had an easy time while Indiana State had to struggle a bit more. The Confidence in Ball State should be the difference here today. Take Ball State. |

11-12-22 | Rutgers +10.5 v. Michigan State | 21-27 | Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
Big 10 action here has Rutgers traveling to Lansing, MI to play the Spartans of Michigan State. Rutgers has lost two straight games, including last week at home to Michigan, 17-52, as a 26-point dog. Rutgers is 4-5 and if they hope to go to a bowl game they have a hill to climb with their remaining games at Michigan State and Maryland and a home game vs Penn State. Meanwhile Michigan State coming off a home win last week over Auburn, 39-33. That snapped a two-game losing skid for the Spartans. Michigan State could be in a look ahead situation here on Saturday. They have no desire to play Rutgers. Instead they have their sights set on next week's showdown at home with Georgia. Rutgers could sneak in under the spread here today if they can catch this Spartans team flatfooted. Take Rutgers |

11-12-22 | Notre Dame v. Navy +17 | 35-32 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
We all know that Notre Dame is the far better team here on Saturday then Navy. Notre Dame has won three straight games, including last week's big win over previously undefeated Clemson, 25-14. However, it's that last week game that I believe will be their undoing this week. The Irish won that emotional game and now have to go to Baltimore to face the Middies. Navy is 5-0 ATS in their last five vs a team with a winning record. They are 5-2 ATS in their last seven overall and 22-8 ATS in their last 30 in November. I feel the Irish are in for a big letdown here today. I think they will squeak by but can't cover this big line. Play Navy. |

11-12-22 | LSU v. Arkansas +4 | 13-10 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
The SEC once again the class conference in college football with four teams in the top 10. One of those, the 10th ranked LSU Tigers hope to be in the SEC Championship game as they sit in 1st place in the West division with a 5-1 conference record and 7-2 overall mark. Arkansas is 5th in the West with a 2-3 conference record and 5-4 overall mark. These teams met last year in LSU with the Razorbacks winning the game 16-13. LSU ranked 31st on offense and 42 on defense. Arkansas is 10-4-1 ATS the lst 15 overall meetings between these teams and 5-2 ATS the last seven in Arkansas. I'll take the home team here, play Arkansas. |

11-11-22 | Bucks v. Spurs -1.5 | 93-111 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
It's going to be a tough night for the Bucks as they will be short some of their star players. Forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is out with a knee issue, Khris Middleton is out with a wrist injury and point guard Jrue Holiday is also out with an ankle injury. Holiday averages 19.6 ppg and Gio averages almost 32 ppg. That's a lot of points to makeup on the rest of the team. Milwaukee has lost just one game and that was on Monday to Atlanta, 998-117. They are coming off an OT win at OKC, 136-132. The Spurs are 5-7 on the season and look to snap a five game losing streak here tonight, after a 5-2 start to the season. Spurs laying 2-points here tonight. I'll take them with all that firepower missing for the Bucks. Play San Antonio. |
