12-29-21 | Maryland -3.5 v. Virginia Tech | 54-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Pinstripe Bowl, Bronx, New York 2:15 ET Maryland vs Virginia Tech Terrapins (+) over Hokies- If this matchup was on a basketball court with their 'cagers' it might be a better contest as both once former ACC rivals are 6-6 for the year. We have another Tagovailoa to deal with as Taulia leads the Maryland offense that crushed Rutgers 40-16 in their regular season finale to become bowl eligible making it to the postseason for the first time in five years. Virginia Tech who fired their coach Justin Fuente when 5-5 and defeated rival Virginia to qualify for this meeting. Hokies will be without their starting QB and leading pass catcher have opted out of this game. Take MARYLAND! |

12-28-21 | West Virginia +5 v. Minnesota | Top | 6-18 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 51 m | Show |
Guaranteed Rate Bowl, Phoenix, AZ 10:15 ET West Virginia vs Minnesota Mountaineers (+) over Golden Gophers- I'm going to start with the last game of the day and the game that will most likely be the most 'one-sided' bet game of the day. Let me tell to compare the 'numbers' between these two their isn't a chance in hell that you would in your right mind want West Virginia. Take a gander at this, the Mountaineers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 bowl games and are 0-4 ATS as neutral site underdogs. Minnesota on the flip side is 4-0 ATS in their last four bowl games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as favorites. Number never lie but they can be very misleading...Take WEST VIRGINIA! |

12-28-21 | Notre Dame v. Pittsburgh +4 | Top | 68-67 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show |
Notre Dame at Pittsburgh 8:00 ET Panthers (+) over Fighting Irish- Pitt is bad, how bad well how about losing at home to Monmouth and The Citadel. Notre Dame is not playing with the most talent around but they showed they can play tough by beating Kentucky 66-62 at home. But the road is a different story when talking about the Irish who are 0-2 away from home and 1-6 ATS in their last seven away games. The Panthers are 5-1 ATS in their last six overall and the underdog is 10-3-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings.Take PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
12-28-21 | Texas Tech v. Mississippi State -9.5 | 34-7 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Liberty Bowl, Memphis, Tenn 6:45 ET Mississippi State vs Texas Tech Bulldogs (-) over Red Raiders- Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach on the Texas Tech sideline for a decade posting a winning record of 84-43 leading the Red Raiders to a bowl game each season. The Bulldogs scored 31 PPG this season with quarterback Will Rodgers threw for 35 TD's and an SEC leading 4,449 yards passing. Tech was lost at QB this season using three different starters and still don't have the answer. Bulldogs 5-1 ATS in last six with just a loss to Mississippi in the Egg Bowl, while the Red Raiders are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 bowl games and 1-5 ATS against the SEC. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

12-28-21 | Louisville +1 v. Air Force | 28-31 | Loss | -113 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
First Responder Bowl, Dallas, Texas 3:15 ET Air Force vs Louisville Cardinals over Falcons- My first thoughts when learning of this matchup was 'good spot' for me to take the Air Force and if you gaze at the stats they would only reenforce one's original thoughts. The Falcons may fly high but it is their ground game which led the FBS in rushing with 341.4 PYG (yes more than both Army and Navy) This is sure to fire up the Louisville defense which allowed Kentucky 362 yards rushing in their final game a 52-21 loss. Doesn't look to good for the Cardinals as Air Force won this last game over UNLV by running for 511 and didn't attempt a pass.Thing is, the Cardinals have a better overall offense averaging 451 YPG and are better balanced. Take LOUISVILLE! |
|||||||
12-27-21 | Dolphins v. Saints +3.5 | Top | 20-3 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
Miami at New Orleans 8:15 ET Saints (+) over Dolphins- The stats and wins are piling up for the Dolphins side as they have won six straight games while establishing a defense thats rank second over that period in fewest yards allowed. New Orleans will be starting their fourth quarterback this season as COVID has knocked out Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian and the season's starter Jameis Winston was knocked out with injury. But, not to worry as former Notre Dame QB Ian Book will get the start. Miami's Tua Tagovailoa has completed 70% of his passes but will be against a defense that shutout the Super Bowl Champions last week and will force Tua who is still prone to rookie mistakes into turning the ball over. The Dolphins streak has them defeating only one winning team and that was the floundering Ravens. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Grizzlies v. Kings +5 | Top | 127-102 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
Memphis at Sacramento 6:00 ET Kings (+) over Grizzlies- Both teams off losses as Memphis has dropped their last three including a 113-104 at Golden State Wednesday while Sacramento has dropped their last two including a 108-89 home loss to the Clippers on Tuesday. Stumbling, the Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in last five as favorites and Kings are not only 23-5 ATS playing with three days rest and 5-2 ATS after a double-digit loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Jaguars +2 v. Jets | 21-26 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
Jacksonville at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Jets- The No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the 2021 NFL Draft will face off in New York where the 3-11 Jets with Zach Wilson host 2-12 Jacksonville with Trevor Lawrence. Neither of these two could possibly have envisioned what their rookie seasons would be like. Lawrence has thrown only one TD passing the past seven games but he hasn't been up against this Jets defense yet, Ranked dead last allowing 392 YPG should help the Jaguars anemic offense. Jets flying with wounded wings as their entire secondary in on their third round of players. Jaguars are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and even at home the Jets just can't be favored. Take JACKSONVILLE! |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Rams v. Vikings +3.5 | 30-23 | Loss | -120 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
L.A. Rams at Minnesota 1:00 ET Vikings (+) over Rams- I could always go to the 'who needs in more' crap but Minnesota does need it more and have won their last two but were grossly out-played by the losing Bears. Los Angeles was getting by inept Seattle winning their third straight (all covers) and seem to be hitting on all cylinders but were greatly enhanced by opponents unforced errors and official calls. LA 2-5 ATS as favorites and 0-6 ATS in the last six meetings. The Vikings are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 games as home underdogs. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-26-21 | Bucs v. Panthers +10 | 32-6 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Carolina 1:00 ET Panthers (+) over Buccaneers- After starting the season 3-0 Carolina has taken a huge fall and last lost seven of their last nine including the last four without an ATS win. Tampa Bay of course is off having lost to New Orleans 9-0 as I have never seen Tom Brady look worse. Cam Newton (the future?) will start once again and they have yet to win a game in which he has started. The Buccaneers are banged up to the point of resigning Brown and bringing in everybody's favorite Le'Veon Bell. Tampa is just not in sync right now. Take CAROLINA! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Colts v. Cardinals | Top | 22-16 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 11 m | Show |
Indianapolis at Arizona 8:15 ET Cardinals over Colts- Arizona started the year 7-0 and it appeared that they would run away with the NFC West considering the slow start by both the Niners, Seahawks and Rams. But, things being what they are in the NFL they have lost 4-of-7 including a loss at Detroit last week that casts doubts on their capabilities of winning the West. The Colts have taken a different path as they started 1-4 but have won 5-of 6 including a huge victory over New England last Saturday. Indy relies on Jonathan Taylor's running and for the Cardinals that will be a challenge as they rank 27th against the rush. This is a very short line for the most part as the Red Birds have doubts about James Conner's status as he hasn't practiced this week. None-the-less Kyler Murray will raise here and guide his side to a victory. Take ARIZONA! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Nets v. Lakers +1 | 122-115 | Loss | -107 | 29 h 48 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at L.A. Lakers 8:00 ET Lakers over Nets- As I stated before their blowout loss 138-110 to San Antonio the Lakers are a mess and to me it all revolves around the acquisition of Russell Westbrook who commits turnovers at an incredible rate. Los Angeles has lost four straight and ranked 27th on defense as Westbrook in attempts to make steals leaves the basket unguarded. Brooklyn is another banded up crew that is playing a number of people that shouldn't even be in the league. But, this night I expect LeBron James to be something special as he raises to the occasion. Take the LAKERS! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Warriors v. Suns -5.5 | Top | 116-107 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 49 m | Show |
Golden State at Phoenix 5:00 ET Suns(-) over Warriors- Arguably the two best teams in the league square off here as Golden State enters Phoenix as only a half game separates the two. The Warriors are 10-4 SU on the road but juts 7-6-1 ATS while the Suns are 15-2 SU at home and 9-8 ATS. This 'number' seems a bit strong and the Warriors look inviting with the points, but they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as underdogs. The surprise stat is not that Golden State is No. 4 on offense but No. 1 on defense allowing just 101 PPG. Suns 5-2 ATS in their last seven games at home. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Browns +7.5 v. Packers | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 20 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Green Bay 4:30 ET Browns (+) over Packers- Anytime you play against Green Bay when Aaron Rodgers is healthy you are putting yourself in peril. The Packers are 11-3 both SU and ATS and have already clinched the NFC Central and are the No. 1 seed in the Conference. Meanwhile the Browns are scrambling to qualify for the postseason and after great expectations are just 7-7 and in desperate need of a win here. Rodgers is the league's leading passer with a 110.4 rating and has the lowest interception percentage at 0.91 but will be up against (when healthy) one of the AFC's better defenses and running games. The Browns seem to rise against better opponents and are 5-1 ATS against teams with winning home records. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Celtics +5.5 v. Bucks | 113-117 | Win | 100 | 23 h 17 m | Show | |
Boston at Milwaukee 2:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- Neither of these clubs have found their way as of yet and both have been affected by injuries and COVID as they enter their Christmas Day encounter. With the return of Jalen Brown the Celtics are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five and seem to be meshing better than in the early season. Milwaukee has been inconsistent for the most part this season and is 2-6 ATS after a SU win and struggle against the Celtics as Boston is 13-6 ATS in their last 19 trips to Milwaukee. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Ball State +6 v. Georgia State | Top | 20-51 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 26 m | Show |
Georgia State and Ball State 2:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Panthers- Both of these clubs had to made late season runs to become bowl eligible as Georgia State who started 1-4 won six of their final seven games and posted their first ever eight win season. Ball State clinched a bowl spot with a win in their final game 20-3 over Buffalo. Defense has been key for both squads and I expect a low scoring game...Take the points BALL STATE! |
|||||||
12-25-21 | Hawks +6.5 v. Knicks | 87-101 | Loss | -101 | 21 h 47 m | Show | |
Atlanta at New York 12:00 ET Hawks (+) over Knicks- Kemba Walker get his second start and scores 44 points...Oh my, nut the Knicks still lost. I'm sure the return of Toppin scares me but this team is a mess (not as bad as the Lakers but floundering away. Hawks flying high after win over 76ers and ole 'Mo' will carry him here. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Spurs +1.5 v. Lakers | 138-110 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
San Antonio at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Spurs (+) over Lakers- The Lakers are a mess, such a mess that even LeBron James can't make it right. They can point to the injuries and covid and whatever reason they want about why they can't put it together and the answer is so easy but no one will say it. In a word or name Russell Westbrook! He's a one man 'team' killer...Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Hornets +2.5 v. Nuggets | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Denver 9:00 ET Hornets (+) over Nuggets- This is the sixth and final game of a game road trip for the Hornets and they are 1-4 needing a win to return to .500. Denver (15-15) is having covid issues and injuries have depleted their firepower as their offense has dropped to 21st in the league whole Charlotte is No. 2 in scoring averaging 115 PPG as they are hitting 38% of their 3-point attempts. The Hornets are 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and 12-5 ATS as underdogs while the Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
12-23-21 | 49ers v. Titans +3.5 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 13 h 46 m | Show | |
San Francisco at Tennessee 8:20 ET Titans (+) over 49ers- The Niners are 'hot' and the Titans are not as we enter the final three games of the NFL regular season. San Francisco has won and 'covered' five of their last six while Tennessee has dropped 3-of 4 both SU and ATS with the Titans blowing a 13-3 halftime lead against the Steelers last Sunday and the 49ers dominating the Falcons. Without Derrick Henry quarterback Ryan Tannehill has thrown sin interceptions in the past four games but with the return of receiver A.J. Brown the Titans expect better results this week. Niners have had problems on Thursday nights going 3-8 ATS in their last 11 and the Titans are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
12-23-21 | Wizards +1 v. Knicks | 124-117 | Win | 100 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Washington at New York 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Knicks- Both these clubs are off snapping losing streaks as the nicks stopped at five straight losses with a win at MSG over the Pistons while Washington ended a four-game losing streak with a win over Utah on Saturday. New York is having all kinds of chemistry troubles and COVID has put seven players on its list the past week and Derrick Rose down with an ACL. Knicks swept all three game last season but it's a new year. Take WASHINGTON! |

12-23-21 | Central Florida v. Florida -7 | 29-17 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 57 m | Show | |
Gasparilla Bowl- Tampa, Florida Central Florida vs Florida 7:00 ET Gators (-) over Knights- At 6-6 is was a disappointing season for the Gators as they eked by Florida State 24-21 in their final game of the season to qualify for a bowl game. So bad a year it was for Florida that they fired head coach Dan Mullen before their final game against the Seminoles. Turmoil is the best way to describe Florida's position as starting quarterback Anthony Richardson will not play because of a knee injury and Emery Jones will start despite his entering the transfer portal after the game. The Knights will start true freshman Mikey Keene who took over for injured QB Dillon Gabriel who himself has also entered the transfer portal to UCLA. UCF has been disappointing as underdogs going 1-4 ATS in their last five in the role and are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall. The Gators are 6-2 ATS in their last eight bowl games as favorites and 12-5 ATS as favorites at neutral sites. Take FLORIDA! |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Missouri +6.5 v. Army | Top | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show |
Armed Forces Bowl- Fort Worth, Texas Missouri vs Army 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Black Knights- Having served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War I am always looking for an opportunity to 'play' on the Cadets and it is always difficult for me to bet against them. When looking at the stats of these two clubs it appears that the Army should dominate in what they do best as they average 286.4 yards a game rushing and Missouri allows 228.8 yards a game on the ground. One thing you always get from the military academies is a solid effort and after their loss to Navy I expect a big effort here from the Knights. Missouri had lost 12 straight games to the 'number' covering the past two seasons before closing the year 3-1 ATS but are off a loss to Arkansas in their final game. The Tigers did one thing well this season and that is protection the ball as they had the least amount of turnovers in the nation. With Army the favorite against an SEC team I believe is a stretch no matter what the stats say as they are 2-5 ATS as favorites. Take MISSOURI! |
|||||||
12-22-21 | Cavs v. Celtics -5.5 | 101-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over Cavaliers- These two have already split a pair of games both of which were played in Cleveland and the Celtics got the money in both encounters. That in itself is amazing as the Cavaliers are 24-7 ATS on the season and they have won 13 straight games against the 'number.' Yep that's right! So here is Boston who has lost 4-of-6 a strong favorite over the No. 2 defensive team in the league allowing just 101.1 PPG. But, the Cavs who are 10-1 ATS on the road in their last 11 away games are just 1-4 ATS in Boston while the Celtics are 3-1-1 ATS against teams with winning records. The Cavs last game was postponed on Sunday as they had seven players listed on the COVID protocol list and that is most likely by the Celts are favored the way they are. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
12-21-21 | Pacers -2.5 v. Heat | 96-125 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 56 m | Show | |
Indiana at Miami 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Heat- Miami under coach Eric Spoelstra have always played tough but with so many player entering COVID protocol even the best coached teams struggle to maintain their high quality of play and the Heat are most predominate among those clubs. They will be without Butler, Adebayo, Herro, Martin, Morris and Oladipo who all missed Sunday's loss to lowly Detroit. When the regulars have been available in recent seasons the Pacers went 7-3 ATS in Miami as underdogs. The difference here is that the Pacers are favored where they are 0-6 ATS on the road. Still, the protocol is the clue. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
12-21-21 | San Diego State v. UTSA +3 | Top | 38-24 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
Cafe Frisco Bowl- Frisco, Texas Texas-San Antonio vs San Diego State 7:30 ET Road Runners (+) over Aztecs- Both clubs are looking to establish school records for wins in the season as UTSA (12-1) is in just its 10th year as an FBS program and is looking for their first bowl win in school history. San Diego State (11-2) enter this contest after getting thumped in the WAC Championship game by Utah State 46-13 although they allowed only 19.5 PPG holding opponents under 16 points seven times and rank No. 14 in yards allowed per game at 319. What makes this an even tougher call is that the Roadrunners USA Offensive Player of the Year Sincere McCormick is passing this game to enter the NFL draft. UTSA is 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games as underdogs while SDS is 0-4-1 ATS in their last five as favorites. Take TEXAS-SAN ANTONIO! |

12-21-21 | Seahawks +7 v. Rams | Top | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
Seattle at L.A. Rams 7:00 ET Seahawks (+) over Rams- Thursday the Rams has 25 players in virus protocol and the list grew to 29 on Friday including a pair of defensive All-pro's in Jalen Ramsey and Von Miller. Seattle has won their last two with the return of Russell Wilson but have not been impressive as they rank dead last in defense allowing 395 yards per game and their offense is ranked No. 28 averaging only 310 YPG. One thing to keep in mind is that Wilson was out five of those games. The Seahawks are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as road underdogs but are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings with the Rams but they are one of four NFL teams that hasn't lost any players to the protocol. LA has a huge 30-23 win over Arizona last time out but are 0-4 ATS after scoring 30 points or more and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as favorites. Player the healthier team...take SEATTLE! |

Idaho Potato Bowl- Boise, Idaho Kent State vs Wyoming 3:30 ET Golden Flashes (+) over Cowboys- I have always been a Cowboys fan but the Golden Flashes can shower you with points averaging 32.6 PPG while Wyoming will mosey you to sleep on offense scoring just 23.2 PPG. Kent enters this fray off a crushing MAC final defeat to Northern Illinois 41-23 although they out-gained the Huskies from the line scrimmage as they average 480.6 YPG while the 'Boys allow 171.3 yards per game rushing. The Flashes are also 8-2 ATS after a loss while Wyoming is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games favorites although they are 5-1 ATS in their last six bowl games including a win over Central Michigan in the Idaho Potato Bowl in 2017...not this time. Take KENT STATE! |

12-20-21 | Vikings v. Bears +6.5 | Top | 17-9 | Loss | -102 | 13 h 38 m | Show |
Minnesota at Chicago 8:15 ET Bears (+) over Vikings- A pair of NFC Central rivals square off in Soldier Field heading in opposite directions. Minnesota is working toward the playoff and has won 3-of-5 while Chicago is just trying to end the season on a position note but has dropped their last two and 7-of-8. Bears quarterback Justin Fields has struggle as many rookies do at that position and has a QB rating of 69. 3 (not good) and has six TD passes and 10 interceptions. Chicago is fighting COVID and injuries as they had 19 played who did not practice this week but are using the next man up mentality but are staying positive against the Vikings who they have defeated five of the last six time that they have met and are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Minnesota has problems on MNF games going 3-12 ATS in their last 15 prime time games and are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as favorites. Take CHICAGO! |

12-19-21 | Lakers +6.5 v. Bulls | 110-115 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Chicago 8:00 ET Lakers (+) over Bulls- Los Angeles may be with Anthony Davis for awhile but the Bulls will be without seven players and the Lakers five including coach Frank Vogel. One of the key components for Chicago and their success this season is the play of Zach LaVine and he will be sidelined for the Bulls. This is the first action for Chicago in eight days and they have dropped their last two. Chicago won the first meeting in Mid-November as the Lakers were without LeBron James. James is back and will be the difference here. Take LOS ANGELES! |

12-19-21 | Packers v. Ravens +7 | 31-30 | Win | 100 | 22 h 20 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Baltimore 4:25 ET Ravens (+) over Packers- Golly, I just hate playing against the non-vaccinated quarterback especially when we can not be sure just who will start for Baltimore. Tyler Huntley who started in the Ravens 16-13 win last week over the Bears has taken almost all snaps in practice this week. Aaron Rodgers just seems to get better as time goes bye and always seems to exploit any of the oppositions weakness and with all their injuries Baltimore has a few. Green Bay is 11-2 ATS this season including 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. The Ravens are 5-1 ATS in their last six after a SU loss and 16-5-1 ATS in last 22 as underdogs. Take BALTIMORE! |

12-19-21 | Bengals v. Broncos -2.5 | Top | 15-10 | Loss | -119 | 22 h 2 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Denver 4:05 ET Broncos over Bengals- Hey, what's going on here? Cincinnati opened a 3-point favorite and now Denver if favored by a field goal. The winner of this game moves into playoff position while the loser falls outside with three games remaining. The Bengals who have lost their last two at home and QB Joe Burrow didn't practice until later in the week and he said that he's good enough to 'go.' The Broncos vulnerability at quarterback is compensated by their dual running back tandem with Javonte Williams (a beast) and Melvin Gordon. Tough called with the Broncos moving to the favorite but they have the 'mojo' right now. Take DENVER! |

New Orleans Bowl- N.O. Louisiana UL-Lafayette vs Marshall 9:15 ET Thundering Herd (+) over Ragin Cajuns- Louisiana is 12-1 has won the Sun Belt Conference Championship game and are playing this in their back yard with this game in New Orleans. Marshall who will leave CUSA for the Sun Belt is 7-5 and is tied at No. 4 with 35 rushing touchdowns. The regular season competition may be stronger in the Sun Belt but the Ragin Cajuns are 2-5 ATS as favorites while Marshall is 6-2 ATS at neutral sites including 7-2 ATS in their last nine bowl games. This should go down the the final gun with the Herd getting the money. Take MARSHALL! |

12-18-21 | Patriots v. Colts -2 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 28 h 56 m | Show | |
New England at Indianapolis 8:15 ET Colts (-) over Patriots- I believe that New England's Mac Jones will throw more than three passes this week as the conditions will be perfect in domed Lucas Oil Stadium. The Colts will attempt to run the ball against the No. 3 defense in the NFL allowing just 310 yards per game while Indianapolis is No. 2 running for 152 yards a game lead by the league's top runner Jonathan Taylor who has 1,348 yards and 16 touchdowns. Taylor has run for 100 yards seven times this season and each time the Colts posted a victory. Indy leads the NFL in takeaways with 28 while the Patriots have 26 of their own. The home team is 5-1 ATS in this series and the Colts who didn't play last week are 4-1-1 ATS after a bye week and is 12-4-1 ATS at home against teams teams with winning records. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

L.A.

Oklahoma City has dropped 13 of 16 including a 73-point loss to Memphis but are 11-5 ATS after a loss and 7-2 ATS against the Clippers at home. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

12-18-21 | Magic +1.5 v. Nets | Top | 100-93 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show |
Orlando at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Nets- The Nets are a depleted squad but Kevin Durant is making his bid for MVP as he is averaging 37.5 points over the past four games picking up the slack of all those that are absent. Orlando on the other hand is 1-14 in their last 15 but with this line being what the oddsmakers have made it tells me that the Nets are in trouble here. Brooklyn is 21-8 SU on the season but are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites including 0-6 ATS as at home. The Magic are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings including 5-1 ATS in Brooklyn. Hold your breath and take ORLANDO! |

L.A. Bowl- Sci-Fi Stadium Utah State vs. Oregon State 7:30 ET Beavers (-) over Aggies- Golly, this game and side just jumped off the page when I saw the line in this match-up as Utah State enters winning the MWC Championship 46-13 over San Diego State. Oregon State comes limping in losing 3-of-5 including their last outing against rival Oregon. When you look at the team stats and records the Aggies have the advantage on offense with the defenses just about square. So, why is this line so slanted in the Beavers favor giving a conference champion so many points. This is the first bowl game and winning season for Oregon State since 2013 and this season they are 6-1 ATS against teams with winning records and 8-2 ATS in their last eight game after a loss. Take OREGON STATE! |

Independence Bowl- Shreveport, LA Alabama-Birmingham vs Brigham Young 3:30 ET Blazers (+) over Cougars- It was just a few short years ago (7 years-2015-17 )that UAB dismantled their football program but reinstated it after public outcry. Since their return to actin they have qualified for four bowl games in five seasons. BYU won five games against PAC-12 competition and also had a victory against Virginia but as an Independent they have received little respect. UAB is 4-0 ATS against teams with winning records and 4-1 ATSA as underdogs while BYU is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall and in their last seven Bowl games. Take ALABAMA-BIRMINGHAM! |

Gonzaga vs Texas Tech 1:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Bulldogs- Gonzaga opened the season No. 1 but losses to No. 5 Duke and No. 16 Alabama has taken a bit of the shine off their season has they have dropped to No. 4. Texas Tech (8-1) is ranked No. 24 and has not received the credit is deserves as their defense which has always been tough is ranked No. 7 nationally while the Zags are No. 2 on offense. Gonzaga's defense is ranked at No. 100 and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as favorites while the Red Raiders are 4-0 ATS after a loss. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Boca Raton Bowl- Boca Raton, Florida Western Kentucky vs Appalachian State 11:00 ET Hilltoppers (+) over over Mountaineers- Western Kentucky was 1-1 and then lost four in-a-row before closing the regular season with seven straight wins before falling to San Antonio in the USA title game. Appalachian State is 10-3 and is looking to win 11 games for the first time in school history after losing in the Sun Belt Championship game to Louisiana 24-16. The Mountaineers are 6-0 all-time in bowl games while the Hilltoppers are 4-3 and App State is 4-1 lifetime against Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers are No. 2 in the nation averaging 529 YPG and score 43.1 points while the Mountaineers defense is No. 2 in the country with 106 tackles for a loss but are 1-5 ATS against CUSA foes. Take WESTERN KENTUCKY! |

Milwaukee at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- After a slow start to the season the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks have won 13 of 16 and have been playing short-handed a portion of the time. New Orleans who started the year 3-16 has now won six of their last 11 games behind Brandon Ingram who is averaging 27.9 points over the past eight games. The Bucks seem to play to the level of their competition as they are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with losing records and are 1-4 ATS as favorites and 1-5 ATS after a SU win.

Golden State at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Warriors- After breaking Ray Allen's 3-point shooting record in New York the Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry will play in Boston where Allen set his NBA record. On Monday the Celtics took down Milwaukee with the return to the lineup by Jaylen Brown ending a 3-game losing streak. Boston is 7-4 SU at home this season and are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 as home underdogs. The first place Warriors are 1-4 ATS after a SU win and 1-4 ATS in their last five games in Boston.

Cure Bowl- Orlando Florida Northern Illinois vs Coastal Carolina 6:00 ET Chanticleers (-) over Huskies- The last time these two clubs played (not against each other) I posted wins with the Huskies in the MAC Championship game over Kent and against Coastal Carolina who won in OT against South Alabama but did not 'cover.' I believe that I have a great 'feel' for this contest where I expect Northern Illinois to fall after defeating the Flashes 41-23 but were out-gained and for the Chanticleers who out-gained USA by 150 yards to reverse their point-spread outcomes. Coastal played their first Bowl ever last season entering Orlando undefeated (11-0) but were defeated by Liberty 37-34 this time around they won't miss. The Huskies are 0-6 ATS in their six bowl games while the Chanticleers are 11-4 ATS in non-conference games. CC averages 40.4 points and surrendered 20 points per contest while UNI allows 33 points a game and 422 yards in the open MAC play. Take COASTAL CAROLINA! |

St. Bonaventure and Virginia Tech 4:00 ET Bonnies (+) over Hokies- I can't remember the last time I posted a side in a game where St. Bonaventure was involved but it probably was when Bob Lanier was at center for the Bonnies in 1970 (and yes I was betting these games when I was at NYU). SB is looking for their second straight Atlantic-10 title and have an all senior starting lineup but lost 74-64 loss to No. 15 Connecticut last Saturday and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. Virginia Tech after opening the season with four straight wins has lost 4-of-6 and are 0-4 ATS in their last four neutral site games while the Bonnies are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games but are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. That ends here. Take ST. BONAVENTURE! |

L.A. Rams at Arizona 8:15 ET Rams (+) over Cardinals- Before the season started all the media could talk about other than Matt Stafford joining the Rams was the stellar defense that they played. Well, their defense has not lived up to expectations as they aren't even ranked in the top-10, but you know who is...Arizona. The Cardinals have the fourth ranked defense allowing just 319 YPG and have already posted a 37-20 win over the Rams on October 3rd as they gained 465 yards from scrimmage. That win by the birds was their first 'cover' in this series over Los Angeles in their last nine encounter. The road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the Rams are 6-0 ATS in their last six visits to Arizona. Take L.A. RAMS! |

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 7:30 ET 76ers (+) over Nets- With the best record in the East the Nets will host their closest challenger Philadelphia who trails Brooklyn by six-games in the loss column. The Nets were down to eight healthy bodies last time out and just relied on Kevin Durant to carry the load and he responded like a true champion (although he has never won an NBA championship. Philadelphia enters Brooklyn losing 3-of-4 with losses to Memphis and Miami after defeating Golden State on Saturday. The Nets are just 1-5 ATS after a SU win and are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Minnesota at Denver 9:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Nuggets- This series record between these two has to be considered when handicapping this matchup as the Wolves have lost 12 straight to Denver. The Nuggets have swept the season series that past three seasons against Minnesota but the Wolves are 21-6 ATS in the last 27 meetings in the Mile High City. D'Angelo Russell has been a huge plus for Minny as they are 0-5 without hime and 12-10 with his and he has returned after missing three games with an ankle sprain. Take MINNESOTA! |

The Hornets have had four player in COVID protocol in their 120-96 loss at Dallas on Monday but will have Terry Rozier, Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels will return tonight. Charlotte is 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs and are 4-0 ATS after a SU loss. Tae the HORNETS! |

12-15-21 | Pacers v. Bucks | Top | 99-114 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
Indiana at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee just finished a four-game road trip where they defeated a pair of games against sub-500 teams and lost to a pair of clubs with winning records. Indiana is off a 102-100 loss to Golden State but have won three of their last four at home and now go on the road where they are 3-10 SU. Doesn't it seem a bit off that the Bucks would be such a meager favorite at home against a team that has struggled away from home especially against a team that they defeated 118-100 at Indiana in their last meeting and is 0-6 ATS in their last six meetings in Milwaukee. Maybe because the Bucks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as home favorites. This is BOGUS...take the PACERS! |

Phoenix is playing without Devin Booker and center Deandre Ayton while the Trailblazers have lost five straight and 8-of-9. The Suns are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and are 1-5-1 ATS playing without rest while Portland is 3-0-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take PORTLAND! |

Alabama at Memphis 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- No. 6 Alabama has been good to 'us' defeating Gonzaga outright as an underdog and beating Houston but not the 'number' in a non-cover victory. Tonight is a first for the Crimson as they will be playing their first true road games of the season. Memphis in the meantime is 4-5 after having lost their last four including a 74-72 home loss to Murray State last Friday. I look for the Tigers to scratch and claw their way to a win here in this non-conference battle. Take MEMPHIS! |

12-14-21 | Warriors v. Knicks +3.5 | 105-96 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Golden State at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Warriors- If he couldn't get it done at home with 16 3-pointers in one game what better setting but to make just two 3-pointers at Madison Square Garden. Stephen Curry the NBA's 3-point shooting GOAT will surely pass Ray Allen to move to the top of the list of long distance shots made. New York will be a bit strapped as Obi Toppin and RJ Barrett are in COVID protocols but Alec Burks returns. Knicks just 7-14 SU since their 5-1 start and are 0-4 ATS in their last four games at home but rise for this event. Take NEW YORK! |

So, once against the streaking Hawks (10 straight covers) are 1-point favorites but this time over Yale in New Haven. At 6-6 SU and 4-7 ATS the Bulldogs are off a loss to Iona and they are 15-7 ATS after a loss. But they have showed that they can 'play', play that is for an Ivy school but hey, who is Monmouth. Take YALE! |

Boston has just returned from their West coast trip and won just one of five and should be looking forward to returning to 'Bean Town.' The Celtics played all five of those road games without All-star Jaylen Brown who returns to action tonight. The Bucks have struggled against the Celts and are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Boston and are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings. Take BOSTON! |

Chicago at Green Bay 8:20 ET Bears (+) over Packers- Okay, Aaron Rodgers is 22-5 lifetime over the Bears but still has a long way to go to reach Tom Brady's 32-3 record over Buffalo while with the Patriots. HA, after losing five of six Chicago will return to rookie starter QB Justin Fields who returns after hurting his ribs. These two the oldest of NFL rivals are on different ends of the ATS standings as Green bay is 10-2 ATS and the Bears 4-8 ATS on the season. The best thing that I can say to support the Bears is that they have out-gained each of their last four opponents while only winnings against the Lions on Thanksgivings' non-cover victory. This time the get the money...take CHICAGO! |

New Orleans at San Antonio 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Spurs- New Orleans has established that they are better than the Pistons by defeating Detroit 109-93 on Friday. But, all the news surrounding the Pelicans is not good. All-Everything Zion Williamson who has not played yet this season has had a set back and is not out indefinitely. So, now they realize that it is them against the world without their superstar. San Antonio is just a shell of champions past and most likely will be left out of the postseason playoffs. Spurs played last night at Charlotte losing outright as a 5-point favorite and are just 1-4-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back games. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Buffalo at Tampa Bay 4:25 ET Bills (+) over Buccaneers- OMG...what has happened to the Bills? No running game, no passing game and no more confidence. New England said to Buffalo it's too windy so we won't pass and you can't stop us...and they didn't. So, now this AFC imposter travels to warn sunny Florida and there stands Tom Brady, yes the same Tom Brady that is 32-3 lifetime over the Bills while playing with New England. But, Buffalo is 8-2-2 ATS as underdogs and 5-1 ATS last six as road dogs. IT'S BUFFALO! |

New York Giants at L.A. Chargers 4:25 ET Giants (+) over Chargers- This is one of the 'sickest' sides of the season but the worst that it can do is lose but, I don't think so. After all the Giants are 6-6 ATS including 3-3 ATS on the road and more about that later. New York flew directly to Arizona after their loss at Miami and the change of scenery can only help as opposed to staying in New York where the media is killing them. I must say that their back-up Mike Glennon would be a backup for most of these bowl teams as he really does stink. My goodness even as a backup he is terrible. So, never expecting thing to happen twice in a row the Giants bounce back and the Chargers stumble. NY is 19-7 ATS as road underdogs. Take GIANTS! |

Villanova at Baylor 3:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Bears- A pair of Top-10 ranked cagers meet at Baylor where the No. 4 ranked Bears will host No. 6 Villanova in what should be the best college basketball game of the day. The defending National Champions are undefeated (8-0) and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven this season. This Wildcats will be playing their third road game of the season and have yet to 'cover' and are 0-2 ATS losing at UCLA after destroying Michigan State 91-51. The Bears have had the best of it to date but have yet to play a team with this much big game experience. Take VILLANOVA! |

Seattle at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Seahawks- Houston is winless at home since their opening week victory over Jacksonville with their only other win at Tennessee. Seattle may have come up with a win last week defeating the Niners (A-Play Megabucks winner) they amassed just 327 yards on offense and have been out-gained by every opponent this season 11 straight time except in their opener at Indianapolis. Seahawks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games and are 2-11 ATS after a SU win. Texans got shut out last wee and are 9-4 ATS after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. Take HOUSTON! |

Dallas at Washington 1:00 ET Cowboys (-) over WFT- I have just heard too much about Washington this week from media tout to professional handicappers that have 'insight.' it is just too much, the 4-Skins defeated Dallas twice last season and the 'Boys happen to be at their best when playing within their division as they are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games against the NFC East. There is no denying that this is an underdog series with the dog going 29-13 ATS in the last 42 meetings but that's not 100%. The WFT is 5-12 ATS versus the NFC East. Take DALLAS! |

Milwaukee at New York 12:00 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- After a quick start start to the season New York has taken a step back while the Champion Bucks who started slow have picked up the pace. The Knicks has lost five of six and have benched the guy the signed to help a struggling offense. Milwaukee is off a win at Houston Friday after their second loss to the Heat on Wednesday. These two have split a pair of games already this season with the nicks holding MVP Antetokounmpo below his average in both games. Take NEW YORK! |

The surprise out of Houston is that they are allowing just 53.4 PPG ranking No.2 in defensive scoring and on the flip side Alabama is ranked 241 allowing 71 PPG but scores 86.4 PPG ranking No. 6. Cougars are 9-3 ATS as road underdogs and get it done here. Take HOUSTON! |

Golden State at Philadelphia 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Warriors- And 'the beat goes on' as the Warriors' Stephen Curry assaults the NBA 3-point scoring records. The 'greatest' shooter in NBA history (my personal opinion) Curry is drawing the attention of not only the public and media but of other players in the league and some aren't so happy about it...like his opponents! Philliy is 3-1 since the return of Joel Embiid since his bout with COVID and he is ready to go. Warriors are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 meetings in the 'Liberty Bell City' and they fall here.

Utah at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Jazz- Utah is at it again! Last season they ran of 18 straight wins and 'covered' most of those victories and now they have won six in-a-row straight-up while covering the last two on the road. The Jazz currently have the No. 2 offense with 115 PPG and are ranked No. 3 on defense at 104.4 PPG allowed. Tough numbers to beat but that's what the Wizards did twice last year against the Jazz winning both matchups. Known for their home court advantage Utah is 7-19-1 ATS against teams with winning home records and the Wiz are 5-0 ATS as home underdogs. Take WASHINGTON! |

Kentucky at Notre Dame 5:15 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Wildcats- After dropping their opening encounter against Duke the Wildcats have won seven in-a-row and now play struggling Notre Dame who has lost three straight. Kentucky coach John Calipari keeps reloading year after year and I must give him credit for getting these players with NBA aspirations to play as a unit. The Fighting Irish were 3-1 before going to Maui and have lost consecutive games to Texas A&M, Illinois and Boston College. The Cats are just 3-5 ATS on the season and ND is 0-6 ATS in 'lined' games. Kentucky is 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight road games and ND is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Avenging a 64-63 loss from last season the Irish are fighting for a win. Take NOTRE DAME |

Army vs Navy 3:00 ET Black Knights (-) over Midshipman- Always a tough call especially if you are taking the favorite and a favorite of more than a touchdown is asking for trouble. I now the difference in records gives the Army the advantage but they don't play anywhere near the schedule of the Navy. I am a believer is giving the edge to the team tae has taken the harder road but the Midshipman didn't measure up any any level abs they average just 54 yards a game passing. It's not the the Cadets thrown the ball much better but ground game is the 'grunts' strength and these sailors can't compete in a one way game and beat this team. Navy's weakest spot has been at QB and they really haven't found the answer. Take the BLACK KNIGHTS! |

Arkansas vs Oklahoma 1:30 ET Sooners over Razorbacks- Undefeated (9-0) and ranked No. 10 Arkansas comes to Tulsa (neutral site) where the Sooners will have plenty of support in what should be one of the better games for Saturday. Although undefeated the Razorbacks are shooting just 28.5% on 3-pointers and in the last six games it's 20.6 percent. Oklahoma is coming off an OT loss to Butler and are 4-1 ATS after a loss, but they are one of the best against the 3-pointers holding opponents to 27.5%. Take OKLAHOMA! |

Boston dropped their third of four against the Clippers 114-111 Wednesday night getting the money as they dropped to 7-9 SU on the road. The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last eight after a straight-up loss and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven as road dogs. Suns are 3-7 ATS 9in their last 10 as favorites! Take BOSTON! |

Sacramento at Charlotte 7:00 ET Kings (+) over Hornets- Seems a bit odd and very interesting that a below average team Kings that is under .500 (11-14) would be favored on the road against a plus .500 ream that is 7-4 SU at home and 7-0 ATS in their last seven. Such is the case in Charlotte where the Hornets just dropped a pair against the 76ers in back-to-backs. Sacramento has won three straight including back-to-back wins against the Clippers. What makes this 'line' even more perplexing is that the Hornets are the No. 1 scoring team in the NBA but their defense is 30th. Take SACRAMENTO. |

Iowa State is cruising along 8-0 having posted their first true road game win in 25 tries at Creighton on Saturday. The Hawkeyes lead the series 47-27 and are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 after a SU loss. Add that the Cyclones are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 home games and the underdogs is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take IOWA! |

Pittsburgh at Minnesota 8:15 ET Vikings (-) over Steelers- Neither of these two teams can afford another loss at this time of the season if they expect to make the postseason. Minnesota is now 5-7 after a loss to previously winless Detroit while the 6-5-1 Steelers were fortunate to get by Baltimore 20-19 to stay alive. The Vikings who were missing a pair of defensive stalwarts Patrick Peterson and linebacker Anthony Barr as well as Dalvin Cook and receiver Adam Thielen on offense. Pittsburgh is 0-5 ATS in their last five games after a SU win while the Vikings are 3-8 ATS after a loss and 0-6 in their last six as home favorites. Still, this time out it is...MINNESOTA! |

Utah at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Jazz- With Philadelphia having won their last three games it bothers me that they have come up the underdog at home even against the Jazz. Utah won by 32 points last night in Minnesota and are 8-3 SU on the road. Philly has had their way against Utah and are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings including 4-0 ATS as hosts. The Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as favorites while the 76ers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Purdue at Rutgers Scarlet Knights (+) over Boilermakers- Purdue is good and we know that they are good and they have been awarded the No. 1 ranking in America and now have to live up to it. The Boilermakers have 7-4 Zach Edey but they don't have Ron Harper Jr. and Rutgers does. So, what does that mean...not a whole lot but I thought I'd just like to add it. The Scarlet Knights are 4-4 and haven't really played a tough early schedule But there is something about Purdue that gets the Knight's working as they have defeated the Boilermakers at home in each of the past two seasons. Take RUTGERS! |

Denver at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Nuggets- New Orleans started the season 3-16 and have turned turn about a bit winning four of their last seven while the Nuggets have lost eight of their last 10 and are a crew of wounded players. Denver is just 3-7 ATS as favorites including 2-6 ATS as road favorites and 2-7 ATS on the road overall. The Pelicans are 8-2 ATS as host against Denver in the last 10 meetings and are 5-2 ATS as home underdogs. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Utah at T.C.U. 8:00 ET Utes (+) over Horned Frogs- This game is being played at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth but is considered a neutral site. TCU is 6-1 SU but have struggled to get the 'money' as they are 1-4-2 ATS and are 5-0 SU at home. Utah is 0-1 in true road games losing at USC but are 2-0 at neutral sites and are 5-2 ATS after an ATS loss. TCU has little to brag about as they are 1-6 ATS against winning teams and 9-24-2 ATS in their last 35 games as favorites including 0-4 ATS as neutral site favorites and are 0-2-2 ATS after a SU win. Take UTAH! |

12-08-21 | Bulls v. Cavs -3 | 92-115 | Win | 100 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers over Bulls- Like the Knicks were last year it looks like the Cavaliers are a team that is just going to get the best of the number night in and night out as they are 18-7 72% ATS on the season and it doesn't seem that the end is in sight. At the same time the charging Bulls have won four straight and are 17-8 both SU and ATS. Cleveland has covered eight straight although they have lost their last two out to Utah and Milwaukee. The Bulls have had the best o the Cavaliers for years but things are moving in another direction. Take CLEVELAND! |

Indiana at Wisconsin 7:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Badgers- A pair of Big Ten contenders face-off in Madison where the 7-1 Badgers will host 7-1 Indiana. Wisconsin has won five straight since their home loss to Providence including wins over three previously undefeated teams in No. 12 Houston in Maui, at Georgia Tech and ripping apart Marquette while shooting 70.4% in the second have of their 89-76 victory. Indiana is 0-1 in true road games and have lost 10 consecutive games at the Kohl Center but the Hoosiers average 80.4 PPG and the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take INDIANA! |

Boston at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Celtics (+) over Lakers- Both these clubs can only dream of what it meant for these two franchises to go head-to-head, the shine is off as both teams are floundering around the .500 mark after 24 games. LeBron James was back and played well Friday in the Lakers 119-115 loss to the Clippers as Boston was winning for the third time in four tries and have won 6-of-9. LA is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as home favorites and the Celtics are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take BOSTON! |

12-07-21 | Knicks v. Spurs +2.5 | 121-109 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
New York at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Knicks- New York has a completely different look this year as last season's formula for success has been scraped for a more offensive approach. Looking to improve their scoring capabilities the Knicks brought in Kemba Walker and it changed the dynamics of what was the No. 1 defensive team to a team ranked 20th in points allowed. Although the Spurs record isn't so hot they are still 13-9 ATS and are 5-1 ATS against New York in the past six meetings. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

12-07-21 | Nets v. Mavs +4 | Top | 102-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Nets- Brooklyn who has yet to lose back-to-back games as 14-4 SU in their last 18 and have played better on the road than and home. Only 8-5 at home the Nets take well to the road and are 8-2 SU as visitors. Dallas has had a rough go of late losing four of five as both Porzingis and Doncic are ailing and guard Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable for tonight's action. ATS numbers on both side are weak but the Mavs are 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take DALLAS! |

12-07-21 | Texas Tech +4 v. Tennessee | Top | 57-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
Texas Tech vs Tennessee 7:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Volunteers- This should be a good early season matchup as both clubs are 6-1 AU and 4-3 ATS with both clubs coming off their first true road games of the season. The Vols had better fortune coming from behind to win at Colorado while the Red Raiders blew a lead a Providence and fell 72-68. This game is at Madison Square Garden and Texas Tech is 4-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and although Tennessee is 4-1 ATS as neutral site favorites they are 2-7 ATS after a ATS win. Take TEXAS TECH! |

12-06-21 | Patriots v. Bills -2.5 | 14-10 | Loss | -118 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
New England at Buffalo 8:15 ET Bills (-) over Patriots- Truly you have got to respect what the Patriots have done this season. I had predicted that they would have a come-back season but I was mistakenly thinking that Cam (Washed-up Newton) would be the Patriots quarterback. Buffalo jumped out to a quick 4-1 start but have alternated wins and losses since and now trail the Pats by a half-game in the AFC East standings. I think that with all the pre-season hype and their good start the Bills sort of lost their focus and now their attention is on New England. Take BUFFALO! |

Denver at Chicago 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Bulls- Both clubs are off successful trips to New York with the Bulls winning a pair at Brooklyn and Madison Square Garden and Denver off our 'Money Game' win over the Knicks on Saturday. Billy Donovan has Chicago playing at a much higher level this season then in recent past the are protecting the home floor going 8-3 ATS as home favorites and are 16-5 ATS as favorites overall. But, the Nuggets are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings and 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to Chicago. Take DENVER! |

12-06-21 | Cavs v. Bucks -6.5 | 104-112 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Bucks (-) over Cavaliers- This 'new' version of the Cavaliers is a 'covering' machine and have made the cash their last seven times out and are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games on the year. Unlike their opponent tonight the Champion Bucks are just goin through the motions until the real season starts in April and are just 11-13 ATS on the season. Looking at the stats Cleveland is the obvious choice but the obvious is not always so profitable. They are 8-1 ATS as road dogs while the Bucks are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games but they are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings at home. Take MILWAUKEE! |

12-06-21 | Illinois +3 v. Iowa | 87-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Illinois at Iowa 7:00 ET Fighting Illini (+) over Hawkeyes- The Big Ten has the prime game of the night as Illinois (6-2, 1-0) invades Iowa City where the Hawkeyes (7-1, 0-1) are 25-11 ATS as hosts. The Fighting Illini come in winning their last four and are 4-0 ATS as underdogs in last four while Iowa is off a loss at Purdue without leading scorer Keegan Murray who is supposed to return tonight. Hawkeyes are 15-5 ATS after a straight up loss and average 91 PPG while the Illini defense is at 63.8 PPG. Trends and stats point to Iowa along with most of the money...Take ILLINOIS! |

Denver at Kansas City 8:20 ET Chiefs (-) over Broncos- Having had the Broncos Sunday as my Megabucks winner 28-13 over the Chargers I feel that now that the pressure is off they can relax. No, fellows the Chiefs won't allow that and I can't believe the heavy money move on Denver this week. Kansas City has finally found their pace winning their last four and getting the money in their last two against the Cowboys. Take KANSAS CITY! 7 |

San Francisco at Seattle 4:25 ET Seahawks (+) over 49ers- Now, hear this the Seahawks have gone under 10 of their 11 games this season and I'm trying to pick them out as a winner...fo the last time. San Francisco comes into Emerald City storming past the Rams, Jags and Vikings last week winners of three straight and looking to knock the Seabirds off their perch for good. Seattle 31st in offense and 32nd (last) in defense come up with a win here for old times sake. Take SEATTLE! |

12-05-21 | Ravens v. Steelers +4.5 | 19-20 | Win | 100 | 20 h 42 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Pittsburgh 4:25 ET Steelers (+) over Ravens- If the Steelers don't respond here against Baltimore they are done...and not just for this season but they will have dropped out of the better half completely. This game has nothing to do with stats, who is running what. It's a simple matter with Pittsburgh can cut it or NOT! Now, I realize that it is the Steelers defense that has surrendered 41 points in each of the past two games but they are getting nothing out of their run game only 106 yards on the ground the last two weeks combined and Big Ben can no longer pick up the slack, On well, Custer's Last Stand right here. Take PITTSBURGH! |

12-05-21 | Chargers +3 v. Bengals | 41-22 | Win | 100 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
L.A. Chargers at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Chargers (+) over Bengals- Having played 'against' the Chargers in each of the past three weeks and going 3-0 ATS I feel especially confident going with them here where they are not expected to win. Cincinnati is coming off their biggest margin of victory win over their nemesis Pittsburgh. This is a battle between the two young bright starts in the NFL at quarterback in LA's Justin Herbert and Cincinnati's Joe Borrow. The Chargers are 21-14 lifetime in the series between the two and the road team is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings. Take L.A. CHARGERS! |

12-05-21 | Giants +6.5 v. Dolphins | 9-20 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
New York Giants at Miami 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Dolphins- Although these two teams play ugly and I expect this game to be played the same way 'we' have had success both for and against both sides. The Giants will be without Daniel Jones as veteran journeyman Mike Glennon and most don't expect much of a difference in New York's offensive possessions. Miami has won four straight with Tua Tagovailoa at the helm the past three and has been at 80% completions. The Giants are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 as road underdogs while the Dolphins create a standoff at 12-4 ATS in their last 16 home games. Still, it's NEW YORK GIANTS! |

Arizona at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Cardinals- The decision as to whether or not Kyler Murray will play will be made at game time but there is no doubt who will start for Chicago. Andy Dalton just led the Bears to their first win in six tries on Thanksgiving squeaking by the Lions 16-14 in Detroit. Years ago when the Cardinals were in St. Louis this was a bitter rivalry but not so much now, but back then it was the Red Birds that were the upstarts and the mighty Bear of Chicago the bully. Seems like old time...Bears get the money. Take CHICAGO! |

Southern California at California 11:00 ET Golden Bears (+) over Trojans- Honestly if ever a team was in position to just go through the motions it is this Southern Cal team. They are in a lame duck coaching situation have won only four of 11 games and are playing on the road in a makeup game after they have played their cross-town rivals. The trojans have no incentive none nothing nada...I don't think that they will come to play and the line shows it...a six-point shift since the opener. Take CALIFORNIA! |

L.A. Clippers at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Clippers- Since the departure of coach Luke Walton the Kings are 3-3 SU under Alvin Gentry after winning their first two. The Clippers just ended a 3-game losing streak with a win over the Lakers in a game where Paul George turned his ankle. Los Angeles is 1-6 ATS after a SU win and 0-4 ATS with no rest. Kings player are said to have more say under Gentry and we'll see if it make a difference tonight. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Vanderbilt at S.M.U. 6:00 ET Commodores (+) over Mustangs- SMU is a 'perfect' 6-0 SU at home but against the number they have been a nightmare for their backers as they are 2-4 ATS at home and 2-7 ATS on the year. Vanderbilt is 5-1 on the season and have won their only true road game at Pittsburgh 68-52 aided by Scotty Pippen Jr. who lead the Commodores is scoring. Vandy is 8-1-4 ATS as underdogs (a tough out) and 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine road games and SMU is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games. Take VANDERBILT! |

Houston at Cincinnati 4:00 ET Bearcats (-) over Cougars- Too much, just too much! No not too much media hype but to much points. Really now just compare the season stats between these two. Other than the one loss Houston numbers are dead even with the Bobcats as they have a better defense by 12 yards and are just nine yards shorter per game on offense. With this 'number' being too much it id driving the action on to the Cougars and maybe Cincinnati is that good and belongs. We might see it here. Take CINCINNATI! |

12-04-21 | Georgia v. Alabama +6.5 | Top | 24-41 | Win | 100 | 24 h 55 m | Show |
Georgia vs Alabama 4:00 ET Crimson (+) Tide over Bulldogs- I knew it was going to happen...that I would end up with Alabama in this game a matchup where they are a virtual touchdown underdog. The Tide have been favorites in 92 consecutive games and that was back on Oct. 3, 2012 and they won that encounter. No one has come close to the Bulldogs except for Clemson in their opener and we thought the Tigers stunk but they showed their pedigree before the year was over. Alabama is game tested having had a few tough battles and a great come from nowhere win over Auburn last week. I have little doubt that Georgia is nt the better team as they are 10-3 ATS as neutral site favorites but the Crimson are 11-3 ATS after an ATS loss and the dogs is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. This one doesn't pass the eye or smell test but I believe they win the game. Take ALABAMA! |

12-04-21 | Syracuse v. Florida State -6.5 | Top | 63-60 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
Syracuse at Florida State 4:00 ET Seminoles (-) over Orange- Syracuse enters its ACC opener after a huge double-overtime win over Indiana after getting blown out by Auburn in their previous game. The Orange (4-3) are led by a clan of Boeheim's as Buddy and Jimmy Boeheim scored a combined 53 points against the Hoosiers. Florida State is off a loss to the No.2 team in the nation getting trounced by Purdue 93-65 and now the Seminoles come up strong favorites in their conference opener. The Orange defense is one of the worst in the nation surrendering 82 PPG ranking 345th. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Utah State vs San Diego State 3:00 ET Aggies (+) over Aztecs- It's been a huge climb for Utah State from the depths of the Mountain West in one season under first year coach Blake Anderson. San Diego State has been steady all season expect for a blemish against Fresno State and has a chance to win a 12 h game in a single season for the first time in school history. The Aztecs are well balanced averaging 177 yards a game on the ground but just 157 passing. The Aggies air it out and throw for 305 YPG and also run for 155. Take UTAH STATE! |
