10-23-21 | USC +7.5 v. Notre Dame | 16-31 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
USC at Notre Dame 7:30 ET Trojans (+) over Fighting Irish- This game has lost its luster over the years as these two once national powers haven't played in a number of years and over time USC has been dominate in this series although Notre Dame has won the last three meetings. The Fighting Irish are 5-1 and ranked but to me have not been impressive as they struggle against better competition. USC is in flux but like ND has had two weeks to get ready and at 3-3 this may be their biggest games of the season. Jack Coan the Irish QB has been a disappointment and I don't expect any improvement here. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

10-23-21 | NC State v. Miami-FL +3.5 | Top | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 30 h 36 m | Show |
N.C. State at Miami-Fl 7:30 ET Hurricanes (+) over Wolfpack- My oh my...when I first saw this game on the Hurricanes schedule I was certain that I would be backing N.C. State especially after the way they started the season with the Wolfpack blowing out South Florida 45-0 and defeating Clemson 27-21 while Miami was crushed by Alabama and barely got by Appalachian State. But, the Canes although in a losing effort impressed me last week in their last at North Carolina and though they are just 2-4 on the season they are vastly improved from what I saw early in the year. Second year freshman Tyler Van Dyke has gotten better game by game and Miami is 6-2 Ats after allowing 40 or more points in their precious game. NC State is just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games, 1-6 ATS as road favorites and 7-15 ATS after a SU win. Take MIAMI-FL! |

10-23-21 | Heat v. Pacers +4.5 | Top | 91-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show |
Miami at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Heat- Miami opened the season with revenge win over the defending NBA Champions Milwaukee Thursday as the routed the Bucks 137-95. The Pacers are 0-2 after dropped in pair of road games at Charlotte and an 2OT loss at Washington last night. Indiana was small favorites in both of those road games and now return to Indianapolis for their home opener and will be getting points once again and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games when underdogs. Take INDIANA! |

10-23-21 | San Diego State v. Air Force -3 | 20-14 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
San Diego State at Air Force 7:00 ET Falcons (-) over Aztecs- This Mountain West Conference battle will pit strength against strength as San Diego State brings their stout run defense up against the Air Force's nation leading triple-option run offense.The Aztecs run defense allows just 61.2 yards a game while the Falcons run offense averages 336.4 yards a game. The Fly-boys have lost eight straight in this series and yet they are favored over the No. 22 ranked team in the nation. SDS is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games against teams with winning home records and the Air Force is 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 home games against teams with winning records and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as favorites. Take AIR FORCE! |

10-23-21 | Hawks v. Cavs +8 | 95-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Cleveland 6:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hawks- Atlanta picked up where they left off last season with a 113-87 victory over visiting Dallas in their opener at home on Thursday night and embark on their first road games of the season this evening in Cleveland. The Cavaliers also left off where they finished last season and are already 0-2 on the year and are not only looking for their first win but a 'cover' as well. We are all award of how bad the Cavs have been since the departure of LeBron James but they have fared well against the Hawks going 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings including 4-0 ATS in their last four games as hosts. Take CLEVELAND! |

10-23-21 | Oklahoma State v. Iowa State -7 | Top | 21-24 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 37 m | Show |
Oklahoma State at Iowa State 3:30 ET Cyclones (-) over Cowboys- No. 8 Oklahoma State is undefeated (6-0) and just posted a huge (32-24) emotional win at Texas and this week the are a virtual touchdown underdog against unranked at Iowa State who has two losses. I may be getting sucked in here but the 'numbers' just don't add up and I trust the oddsmakers more than the pollsters. What bothers me more is that the Cowboys are 2907 ATS in their last 27 games as underdogs and 16-5 ATS against teams with winning records so it's obvious that they are the Rodney Dangerfield of college football getting 'no respect.' On the flip side the Cyclones are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and because this line seems so out of whack I will lay it. A 'Don't make sense' winner. Take IOWA STATE! |

10-23-21 | Wisconsin -3.5 v. Purdue | 30-13 | Win | 100 | 21 h 2 m | Show | |
Wisconsin at Purdue 3:30 ET Badgers (-) over Boilermakers- So Purdue has broken into the Top-25 first the first time in 14 years after defeating Iowa in Ames and returns home to find themselves as underdog to a disappointing Wisconsin team that is just 3-3 on the season. The Badgers were hard pressed to beat Army at home and find themselves with one of the worst FBS quarterbacks in the nation with Graham Mertz who opened his career last season completing 21 of 22 attempts but hasn't shown anything close to that this season. Wisconsin is 7-0 ATS in their last seven trips to Lafayette are 15-6 ATS as road favorites while the Boilermakers are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and 1-7 ATS in their last eight Big Ten encounters. Take WISCONSIN! |

10-23-21 | Wake Forest v. Army +3 | Top | 70-56 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 44 m | Show |
Wake Forest at Army 12:00 ET Black Knights (+) over Demon Deacons- Undefeated (6-0) and ranked No. 15 Wake Forest travels to West Point and is only a 3-point favorite against a 4-2 Army squad that doesn't anything near the quality schedule of the Demon Deacons. Having played against the service academies while I was in college I know how tough they can be especially at home. The Army is 3-0 SU at home this season and is coming off a hard fought loss (20-14) at Wisconsin where they held their own against the bad boys in the Big Ten allowing the Badgers just 310 yards on offense. Wake Forest is off an OT win at Syracuse where they totaled just 338 yards on offense and were out-gained by the Orange by 88 yards. Look for the outright upset here. Take ARMY! |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Cincinnati v. Navy +28 | 27-20 | Win | 100 | 24 h 43 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Navy 12:00 ET Midshipman (+) over Bearcats- This is a mismatch of giant proportions as No. 2 Cincinnati (6-0) sports a defense that only allows 294.5 ypg and the Midshipman offense is so inept that it ranked No. 126 and averages just 275.5 ypg. The Navy doesn't fly well averaging under 60 yards passing per game and were shutout 42-0 the last time these two met in 2018. Although the Bearcats have dominated most of the games they are just 1-4 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. It may look like the Navy's ship has sailed but they are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 conference games and 8-3 following an ATS loss. Somehow the Midshipman will stay afloat and cover this highest of numbers. Take NAVY! |
|||||||
10-22-21 | Memphis v. Central Florida +2.5 | 7-24 | Win | 100 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
Memphis at Central Florida 7:00 ET Knights (+) over Tigers- Last week we posted Memphis over Navy and they won easily on Thursday night this time around they are on the road and will find the going more difficult. Central Florida had run off 13 straight wins in this series until the Tigers won last year's battle 50-49 although the Knights totaled 798 yards on offense. Memphis scored two TD's in the final 3:41 to overcome a 21-point CFU lead. This time around Knights coach Gus Malzahn will have the answer. Tigers are just 3-10 ATS after a win and 4-9 ATS as favorites. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |
|||||||
10-21-21 | Broncos +2 v. Browns | 14-17 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 20 m | Show | |
Denver at Cleveland 8:15 ET Broncos (+) over Browns- The injuries mount to Cleveland's most important parts as they will now be without quarterback Baker Mayfield to go alone with running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. The Browns have dropped their last two while Denver after a 3-0 start has lost three straight. For the most part I usually don't mind playing on the 'hurting' party (Browns) as the oddsmaker makes adjustments and the injury clubs bans together, but this time around I believe that with these three offensive players down it will be too much for Cleveland to overcome. Denver's QB Teddy Bridgewater has been better than average throwing for 1,514 yards and 10 TD's with four interceptions. Broncos perform well on Thursday night's going 11-3 ATS in 14 appearances. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
10-21-21 | Bucks v. Heat +3 | 95-137 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Miami 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee started its NBA title defense with an impressive victory over the imposter Brooklyn Nets winning by 23 points after receiving the championship rings on Tuesday. The Bucks have defeated Miami five straight times including a four-game sweep the the Playoffs last season with the Heat's only ATS win coming in an overtime loss. But, one thing to remember is that Miami was a crippled team at the end of last season with injuries hindering Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic. The Heat have a fresh outlook with the free agent additions of P.J. Tucker and Markieff Morris who will sure up their defense. Take the HEAT! |
|||||||
10-21-21 | Tulane +14 v. SMU | 26-55 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
Tulane at S.M.U. 7:30 ET Green Wave (+) over Mustangs- At 6-0 SMU is one of three teams in the AAC undefeated in conference play along with Cincinnati and Houston. Tulane (1-5) has yet to win a conference game and have lost their last four including all three road games. The Mustangs will have to meet the other pair of undefeated AAC foes in the next weeks on the road starting with Houston next week and Cincinnati two weeks after that. Both clubs were off last week with the Green Wave not having played since October 7 a 40-22 loss to Houston. Tulane's offense is better than many might realize as they put up nearly 400 yards a game including 159 yards through the air led by QB Michael Pratt who has 13 TD passes and five interceptions. Tulane actually led the Cougars 22-17 in the second half before falling the Houston but will keep pace for the full 60 minutes tonight. Take TULANE! |

10-20-21 | Coastal Carolina v. Appalachian State +5.5 | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Coastal Carolina at Appalachian State 7:30 Mountaineers (+) over Chanticleers- Love the turn around here as a week ago we posted a Megabucks best bet winner with Lafayette over Appalachian State and won convincingly and this time around it will be the Mountaineers who gain the victory over highly regarded No. 14 Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers has had two week to pat themselves on the back after their 52-20 win over Arkansas State (1-5) who is winless in the Sun Belt. C. Carolina deserves it's high ranking as they are No. 3 in the nation in yards per game with 552.5 including 261.8 on the ground which ranks them 4th. But, the Mountaineers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs and will be ready in Boone for this one...Take APPALACHIAN STATE! |
|||||||
10-20-21 | Bulls v. Pistons +5 | 94-88 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Chicago at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Bulls- Detroit took Cade Cunningham with the first pick in the NBA draft but whether he can help in this game remains to be seen as he has been hobbled with an ankle injury during the preseason. Chicago finished the preseason 4-0 but I'm not impressed with teams that win games that don't count in the standings. Head coach Billy Donovan admitted that it will take time for his club with the addition of DeMar DeRozan to develop chemistry. And with DeRozan it won't matter when the game is on the line. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Nets +1.5 v. Bucks | Top | 104-127 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 11 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Bucks- So to start the NBA season we the defending NBA Champions playing at home in a virtual Pick-em situation and in most circumstances that would seem a bit odd but the Bucks opponent here is the heralded Brooklyn Nets who have as much fire-power as any team in the NBA. The Nets of course will be without mental case Kyrie (Drama Queen) Irving who has fallen off one of the sides of the flat planet earth and believe it or not Brooklyn will better off without him as his playing ability which is immense is just not worth the constant distractions. The Bucks have had the best of the Nets but this is a fresh start to a new season. Take BROOKLYN! |

10-18-21 | Bills v. Titans +6 | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
Buffalo at Tennessee 8:15 ET Titans (+) over Bills- There is one thing that Tennessee can do right and that is run the ball with Derrick Henry has 640 yards and is looking for his fifth straight 100-yard game rushing. What they don't do so well is protect their quarterback Ryan Tannehill who has been sacked a league high 20 times this season. This week they face a Buffalo defense that leads the NFL in fewest points allowed per game with 12.8 and yards per game with 252 and takeaways with 15. The Bills offense has a claim to fame as they lead the league in scoring at 34.4 ppg as they average 410 ypg. The underdog is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings and the Titans are 7-2 ATS in their last nine Monday night games. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Seahawks +5.5 v. Steelers | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 26 h 31 m | Show | |
Seattle at Pittsburgh 8:20 ET Seahawks (+) over Steelers- So, the Geno Smith era continues with Seattle as the veteran backup (first start since 2017) replaces former iron-man Russell Wilson at quarterback for the struggling 2-3 Seahawks. Pittsburgh also 2-3 has its owns struggles at QB as Big Ten Roethlisberger is casting a smaller shadow this days although the Steelers ended a 3-game losing streak with a 27-19 win over Denver last week. Smith is just one of three NFL quarterback that has actually played a 'perfect' game acquiring the highest QB rated that can be posted just before he was released by the New York Jets. Seahawks are 10-3 ATS as road underdogs while Pittsburgh is 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites including 0-5 ATS at home. Take SEATTLE! |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Cowboys v. Patriots +3.5 | Top | 35-29 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 42 m | Show |
Dallas at New England 4:25 ET Patriots (+) over Cowboys- Man of man have to Cowboys turned it around this season or what! The are 5-0 ATS (the only NFL that is) and have what seems like an unstoppable offense now that Dak Prescott is back leading the charge. They will need all of that and more against a Bill Belichick team that is young at quarterback but No. 5 in defense allowing just 317 yards per game and just 18.4 points. As good as Dallas has looked and played they are still just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games when favored while the Patriots are 10-2 ATS as home underdogs. Take NEW ENGLAND! |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Packers v. Bears +6 | 24-14 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 16 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Packers- No caparison..future HOF quarterback Aaron Rodgers will lead Green Bay into Chicago who will be starting rookie QB Justin Fields and it just doesn't seem fair on the surface. But, there is also no comparison between the two defenses as the Bears are ferocious and can bite whereas the Packers are more passive. Since getting blown out and wasted in their opener against the L.A. Rams Chicago has won 3-of-4 and now face their biggest nemesis as Rodgers and the Packers are 20-5 during his career and he has 55 TD passes with only 10 interceptions and a passer rating of 107.2 which turns the Bears into cubs. But, the Bears are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games as home underdogs. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
10-17-21 | Chargers v. Ravens -2.5 | Top | 6-34 | Win | 100 | 18 h 14 m | Show |
L.A. Chargers at Baltimore 1:00 ET Ravens (-) over Chargers- These two have common record of 4-1 and a pair play making quarterbacks that get it done with contrasting styles. Their offensive styles are drastically different as drop-back QB Justin Herbert exclusively uses his arm throwing for 1,576 yards and 13 TD passes while Lamar Jackson is probably the second best running back in the NFL behind Derrick Henry (the second coming of Jim Brown) and has an explosive style. Baltimore already has wins over a pair of AFC West opponents defeating Denver and Kansas City with their lone loss coming in OT against the raiders after blowing a 14-point fourth quarter lead. Chargers had a huge comeback win last week over the browns scoring 47 points but they are 8-20-1 ATS after scoring 30 points or more. Add they the Ravens are 5-1 as home favorites...take BALTIMORE! |

10-17-21 | Chiefs v. Washington Football Team +7 | 31-13 | Loss | -112 | 18 h 13 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Washington 1:00 ET Former Skins (+) over Chiefs- E-mails...who needs to read E-mails, we can just look at what's happening on the field to know what's going on with these two clubs. Neither of these two teams is playing the kind of defense that is needed to move into the playoffs as the Chiefs rank 31th in yards allowed while the DC crew is No. 27. Add that their offenses often fall short committing turnovers that result in lost scoring opportunities and surrender points to their opposition. KC is tied with Jacksonville for the league high with 11 turnovers and Mahomes is throwing the ball as if he has a sore arm. Chiefs are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games played on grass and 2-5 ATS as road favorites while the Foreskins are 9-3 ATS after a double-digit home loss. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Arizona State v. Utah +1 | 21-35 | Win | 100 | 27 h 2 m | Show | |
Arizona State at Utah 10:00 ET Sun Devils over Utes- This is a really tough call as I like both clubs and just love the Sun Devils overall speed at the skilled positions. Utah has had to overcome emotional trauma as safety Aaron Lowe was shot to death at a post game party on September 26th and it was the second Utes football to die by a gunshot in nine months. Utah has had the best of the series between the two and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and has won 15 of their last 16 home games. Starting the season 0-4 ATS the Utes posted their first ATS win over USC last Saturday and will repeat again this week. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Purdue +12 v. Iowa | 24-7 | Win | 100 | 21 h 5 m | Show | |
Purdue at Iowa 3:30 ET Boilermakers (+) over Hawkeyes- For anyone that saw the Hawkeyes defeat Penn State last week they must realize who badly Iowa was out-played. The Nittany Lions were dominating play and leading 17-3 when their starting quarterback Sean Clifford left the field with a games ending injury as they netting -19 yards on their next three possessions and in the fourth quarter finished the game with a an interception and twice a turned the ball over on downs. Clifford's replacement Ta'Quan Robinson was helpless going 7-of-20 for just 34 yards and two picks. Purdue is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs and 18-6-2 ATS in their last 25 games as road dogs. Take PURDUE! |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Auburn +5.5 v. Arkansas | 38-23 | Win | 100 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
Auburn at Arkansas 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- Oh, here we go with Bo Nix once again the Auburn QB has been the single most overrated QB in college football for three years as the Tigers are still waiting for him to show why he was the High school player of the year as a scholastic senior. But, Arkansas is coming off one of the more heartbreaking losses of the year for any NCAA club failing on a two-point attempt at Mississippi with no time left in the game. The Razorbacks left it all on the field as they had 676 yards of offense including 39 first down but failed when in meant the most. I stated the last time I had Auburn (in a loss)I said that two people should be put in front of a firing squad, one is Bo Nix for his inept play and the other is the guy who 'played on' him (that being ME). But, teams win games and the Tigers are in position to win this one. Take AUBURN! |

10-16-21 | Nebraska v. Minnesota +4.5 | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Minnesota 12:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Cornhuskers- Nebraska will remain inconsistent as long as Adrian Martinez is their quarterback. The Cornhuskers who are 0-3 on the road and their four losses overall have come by a combined 21 points. Minnesota has had two weeks to savor their win over Purdue and are 8-3 ATS after a bye week. Minny lost running back Trey Potts for the season who had replaced All-Big Ten runner Mohamed Ibrahim who went down in their opener against Ohio State. But. It is Minnesota's defense that has shown their best stuff allowing just 308 ypg. Nebraska is 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings and is 0-3 on the road. Take MINNESOTA! |

10-16-21 | Florida v. LSU +12.5 | 42-49 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
Florida at L.S.U. 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Gators- Oh how the mighty have fallen. Two years ago LSU was the 2019 National Champion behind Heisman winner Joe Burrow and now they about to go under .500 as a double-digit home underdog to Florida. The Tigers are off an embarrassing loss to Kentucky surrendering 330 yards rushing and have out-gained on the ground in their last three games against Auburn, Miss State and the Wildcats by 365 yards. The Gators are No. 3 in the nation rushing and average 274 ypg on the ground. So, illogically I'll take the Tigers... somehow it's LSU! |
|||||||
10-16-21 | Michigan State v. Indiana +4.5 | Top | 20-15 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 5 m | Show |
Michigan State at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- These two have switched positions this season as compared to last. Indiana was 6-2 last year and showed so much promise behind quarterback Michael Penix, Jr but have yet to score touchdown in a pair of Big Ten games against Penn State and Iowa while Michigan State after a horror show last year are 6-0 this time around and looking stronger every week. So, I ask you with Penix sidelined with a shoulder injury why is this line so inviting. The Spartans have won 10 of the last 12 meetings but were upended 24-0 at home last season by the Spartans. Jack Tuttle was 1-1 as a starter at QB last season for the Hoosiers and will be an improvement over the inaccurate throwing Penix. Take INDIANA! |

10-16-21 | Texas A&M v. Missouri +11.5 | 35-14 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
Texas A&M at Missouri 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Aggies- Having posted the Aggies last week as one of my top releases in their convincing win over Alabama I only wish this game started later in the day so we could load up on Missouri. Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher states that his club 'won't be pounding their chests' this week after beating the No. 1 team in the nation but I doubt he can prevent them from walking on air this week. Not only did they take down the No.1 team but they took down ALABAMA! Missouri who is 0-6 ATS this season hasn't 'covered' a game since last November and are actually 0-9 ATS in their last nine games overall but are averaging 467 yards a game compared to the Aggies 377 ypg. Also, the Tigers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings are are in a perfect spot to pull off an outright upset...take MISSOURI! |

10-15-21 | Clemson -13.5 v. Syracuse | 17-14 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Clemson at Syracuse 7:00 ET Tigers (-) over Orange- Clemson's non-cover streak is now at six games going 0-5 ATS this season and I'll throw in their final game last year when as 7-point favorites they were blowout by Ohio State 49-28 and it wasn't even that close. So, the Tigers who are dead last in passing efficiency in the ACC are a double-digit favorite on the road at Syracuse (5-1 ATS) where the Orange have won and covered their last three games as hosts. Although the dog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings (Tigers favored in all seven) the Tigers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 as road favorites and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 road games overall. 'We' will be bucking some positive trends on the Syracuse side as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven as underdogs and 5-1 ATS at home in their last six. Still, it's time for the tigers to roar! Tigers have the best scoring defense in the ACC allowing just 11.5 points a game. Take CLEMSON! |

10-14-21 | Bucs v. Eagles +7.5 | 28-22 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Philadelphia 8:20 ET Eagles (+) over Buccaneers- We should all understand the greatness of Tom Brady by now winning a record seven Super Bowls and still playing at 44 years old, but at this point to be the leading passer in the NFL with other greats like Rodgers and Mahomes among his peers is boggling. Tom-Tom has 1,767 passing yards to lead the league and 15 TD passes which ranked him No. 2 behind Mahomes and no interceptions in his last 2-3 attempts. By comparison his QB opponent tonight Jalen Hurts has seven TD passes with three Int's. But, Tampa Bay will be short-handed in many areas and will be without Brady's favorite target Rob Gronkowski and their defense will be depleted as well. The Eagles have the leagues No. 3 passing defense and will surprise the Bucs with their underrated defense. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Navy at Memphis 7:30 ET Tigers (-) over Midshipman- After a 3-0 start Memphis has dropped their last three while an undermanned Navy team has managed just one win in five starts. The Tigers three losses are by a combined 12 points but still, they average 499.3 yards per game including 323 in the air while the Middies average just 62.6 passing yards a game. As a matter of fact the Navy offense is offensive averaging just 282.6 yards ranking 126 in NCAA rankings. Navy scores just 17.6 a game (No. 121) while Memphis puts up 36 points a game ranking No. 24. Take MEMPHIS! |

Appalachian State at UL Lafayette 7:30 ET Ragin' Cajuns (+) over Mountaineers- Great matchup between a pair of 4-1 clubs from the underrated Sun Belt Conference. App. State of course has more notoriety and their loss came at Miami-Fl 25-23 a game they could have won when the Hurricanes had a healthy D'Eriq King. A questionable pass interference gave Miami field position to the win otherwise they could be undefeated. Lafayette's lone loss came in their opener at Texas 38-18 and we have seen how good the Longhorns are. The Mountaineers are 5-11 ATS in their last b165n games as favorites and the underdogs in 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings while the Cajuns are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as underdogs. Take UL LAFAYETTE! |

10-11-21 | Colts +7.5 v. Ravens | 25-31 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Baltimore 8:15 ET Colts (+) over Ravens- Baltimore is looking to set rushing records (43 straight games with at least 100 yards on the ground) while Indianapolis is just trying to post a victory. They got their first win of the season last week defeating Miami 27-17 on the road and now they travel once again where the Ravens are looking to build on their home win over Kansas City three weeks ago. The Colts will have Carson Wentz looking to stay turnover free and improve on their 6-2 ATS roads record. The Ravens are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 overall but struggle against Indy going 2-10 ATS in the last 12 meetings including 1-6 ATS as hosts. The numbers say to take the dog. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Buffalo at Kansas City 8:20 ET Chiefs (-) over Bills- I believe there has been an over-reaction to Buffalo and the 'public' will be loading up on the Bills in this one. Granted they have been far more impressive than Kansas City as Patrick Mahomes has thrown four interceptions with the Chiefs committing seven turnovers while the Bills lead the NFL with 11 takeaways and have the NFL's No. 1 defense allowing just 216.8 YPG. Of course they have played four of the worst offensive team in the league in Pittsburgh, Washington, Houston and Miami. Things will look different to them this week. Take KANSAS CITY! |

10-10-21 | Giants +7 v. Cowboys | 20-44 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
New York Giants at Dallas 4:25 ET Giants (+) over Cowboys- So, Troy Aikman made headlines in the New York newspapers saying that the 'Giants aren't even in Dallas' class.' And maybe he is right but to give a division foe that kind of incentive won't help the Cowboys here. These two split last year with the Giants getting the cash both games including when a 7-point dog in Dallas getting the money 34-37. Daniel Jones is coming off his best game as a pro throwing for a career high 402 yards and Saquon Barkley showed signs of his old self since returning from last years injury. NY is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 against the NFL and 22-6 ATS in their last 28 as road underdogs and Dallas is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 as favorites.Take NEW YORK! |

Cleveland at L.A. Chargers 4:05 ET Browns (+) over Chargers- Having had the Chargers in their impressive win Monday night against the Raiders don't see how the oddsmakers opened Cleveland the favorite (the number has since moved). Both these clubs are 3-1 both SU and ATS and are ranked in the Top-10 on defense with the Browns allowing just 250 YPG and L.A. 332. Jim Brown is long gone but Cleveland leads the NFL in rushing averaging 177 YPG on the ground while the Charger defense allows 139.5 rushing yards ranking No. 29 in the NFL. Cleveland is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the dog going 7-0. Take CLEVELAND! |

Green Bay at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Packers- Okay, so Green Bay won again last week taking my A-Play Megabucks Steelers (5-1) down and now the 'bookies' have made them an inviting play after winning three straight against the upstart Bengals. Cincinnati can also boost of their No. 1 draft pick quarterback Joe Burrow who is establishing himself as a premiere QB leading the his club to a 3-1 record. Cincy is allowing just 323 YPG while the Packers offense in ranked 25th with just 318 YPG. Green bay is just 3-7 ATS on the road against teams with a winning home record and the Bengals are 5-2 ATS as home as underdogs and the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take CINCINNATI! |

10-10-21 | Titans v. Jaguars +4.5 | 37-19 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Titans- What else can go wrong with the Jaguars this season? They haven't won a game (0-4) yet, their No. 1 draft pick quarterback leads the NFL in interceptions, their coach who was a coaching whore in college has shown he is the same in private life has supposedly lost the players in the locker room. So, with all that being it's a good thing the players have to go out on the field and play the game. Tennessee meanwhile lost last week to the Jets and many expect them to bounce back this week but losing to that New York team can tell more about the Titans than most realize. It's so illogical taking the Jaguars I have to have them. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

New Orleans at Washington 1:00 ET Swampers (+) over Saints- Both these clubs are 2-2 but enter this contest with contrasting results last time out. New Orleans blew a 11-point fourth quarter lead to the Giants and lost in OT while the Swampers overcame a 9-point deficit in the final two minutes and defeated Atlanta scoring a pair of touchdowns. Both clubs struggle on offense with the Saints ranked 28 averaging just 267 YPG while the former 'Skins' are No. 20 averaging 342 YPG. Washington is last in takeaways and that will change this week as long as Winston plays for the Saints. Take WASHINGTON! |

Alabama at Texas A&M 8:00 ET Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- how can anyone take the Aggies after what we have seen this season? They will need more than a '12th man' for this one and should get it fro the men in stripes. The fact that this game has been moved into prime time something the Tide is used to will spur Texas A&M to avoid embarrassment. Looking for any thing to support 'my' position here I note that Alabama is just 1-5 ATS against teams with winning home records and that A&M is 4-1 ATS in games following an ATS loss and last week they were looking ahead to this encounter. Take TEXAS A&M! |

Michigan at Nebraska 7:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Wolverines- Both of these head coaches are under the gun this season as Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and Nebraska's Scott Frost have been disappointments are being pressured by alumni who are not happy with current state their programs. The Wolverines look much improved this season (5-0, 4-1 ATS) while then Cornhuskers (3-3, 4-1-1 ATS) have made positive strides although they have just split their first six games but are a positive 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Michigan meanwhile is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Big Ten matchups while the Huskers are 3-0-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take NEBRASKA! |

L.S.U. at Kentucky 7:30 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- No. 16 Kentucky posted their biggest upset win in over a decade last week downing No. 10 Florida 20-13 and remained unbeaten (5-0, 3-0 SEC). Defense has been the key for the Wildcats allowing just 284.4 YPG while their offense still has issues as their passing game was 7-of-17 for just 87 yards. LSU was upset by Auburn and are having their own issues on offense as they average just 70.8 YPG rushing which used to be their strong point. But, with Georgia up next for the Wildcats they could get caught peeking. Take LSU! |

10-09-21 | Oregon State v. Washington State +4 | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 18 h 16 m | Show | |
Oregon State at Washington State 4:00 ET Cougars (+) over Beavers- Does this seem right to you...it doesn't to me. Here is Oregon State 4-1 SU and ATS who have impressive victories over USC and Washington a small favorite against a Cougars team that is 2-3 with a loss against lowly Utah State. Upon further review we can see that the Beavers defeated the Huskies with only 48 yards passing while Washington State defeated California 21-6 allowing just 273 total yards on defense. The Cougars have won the last seven meetings and the 'beat goes on here.' Take WASHINGTON STATE! |

Boise State at BYU 3:30 ET Broncos (+) over Cougars- BYU is 5-0 and most likely will find themselves dueling with Cincinnati for the first Non-Big-5 FBS championship berth. The Cougars have won seven straight and 16 of 17 dating back to last season as they have yet to trail in a game this season. Boise State is struggling against the run allowing 191 YPG but are 7-1 ATS as road underdogs and the roads team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. BYU seems to play to the level of their competition as they are 1-5-1 ATS against teams with losing records and 1-3-1 ATS as home favorites. Take BOISE STATE! |

Georgia at Auburn 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- My oh my, how can I even consider playing against the Bulldogs who have as much bite as any team in the country. With the No.1 defense allowing just 180.6 YPG and having posted two consecutive shutout wins they will be up against an Auburn offense that averages 478.4 YPG and a defense that allows only 303 YPG. Although the Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings the home team is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings and the Tigers are 10-4 ATS as home underdogs and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 home games overall. Take AUBURN! |

Big-12 NCAAF Power Play Oklahoma vs Texas 12:00 ET Sooners (-) over Longhorns- Oh, how I love this rivalry having witnessed a matchup in Oklahoma year ago when I was in the US Army when I was stationed at Fort Sill, OK. (Yep I fought for 'our' side). But, no matter where this games is played (Dallas nowadays) the intensity is hard to vision as this is the BIGGEST scheduled game for both these schools. The Sooners are 5-0 but an unimpressive 1-4 ATS but have won 17 straight games over the past three seasons although they are 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings winning last year 53-45 in OT making it three straight against the Longhorns. Since replacing Tom Herman this will be Steve Sarkisian's first taste of playing Oklahoma in the rivalry's 117 with the 'Horns winning 62 and Oklahoma 49 with five ties but he won't like this meeting. Take the SOONERS! |

Big Ten Vegas Hotline winner Michigan State at Rutgers 12:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Spartans- After a disappointing season last year Michigan State is 5-0 and 3-0-2 ATS and spirits are high in Lansing. But, looking close at the competition that they have played we can note that they have yet to win against a team with a winning record and in the past two weeks with wins over Nebraska and Western Kentucky they were out gained by 186 yards and 41 yards with the Hilltoppers matting 560 yards against them. Rutgers who is much improved under Greg Schiano was waylay-ed by Ohio State last week and will bounce back with a strong home performance here. Note that the Spartans are 5-15-1 in their last 21 conference game. Take RUTGERS! |

Big Ten Bookie Buster Maryland at Ohio State 12:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- Man were the Terrapins outclassed last week by Iowa (51-14) and now they travel to Columbus to battle Ohio State who had their best game of the season at Rutgers winning 52-13. The scores and outcomes of last weeks games will force these two clubs to come back to the center and it will be much closer than most expect. Maryland is 14-4 ATS after a double-digit home loss and the Buckeyes are 3-9 ATS after passing for more than 280 yards in their previous games. Take MARYLAND! |

10-08-21 | Stanford v. Arizona State -12.5 | Top | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
Stanford at Arizona State 10:30 ET Sun Devils (-) over Cardinal- After defeating No. 3 Oregon last week 31-24 in overtime a huge PAC-12 upset the oddsmakers must believe that Stanford left in all on the field last week as they are almost two touchdown underdogs at Arizona State. The Sun Devils are looking for the third straight conference win and are averaging 444 YPG while holding opponents to 289 YPG and just 17.4 PPG while Stanford allows 406 yards and 26.8 points. This price is way out of whack as it appears the 'Bookies' are making it easy to take Stanford as they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games and the Sun Devils are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites. Lay it with ARIZONA STATE! |

L.A. Rams and Seattle 8:20 ET Seahawks (+) over Rams- The 3-1 Rams are coming off a 37-20 home loss against Arizona as their top rated defense surrendered 465 yards to the Kyler Murray led Cardinals offense. Seattle now 2-2 rebounded after a pair of losses to beat the Niners 28-21 in San Francisco despite being out gained by 223 yards. Under Pete Carroll Seattle is 10-1 (8-1-2 ATS) on Thursday Nights including winning their last nine straight-up. The last time these two met Seattle lost to Los Angeles 30-20 in a home wild-card playoff loss at home. The Rams are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Hawks but Seattle is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as home underdogs but, just 2-9 ATS after a SU win. A tough call as the trends are a wash but take SEATTLE! |

Las Vegas at L.A. Chargers 8:15 ET Raiders over Chargers- There is just one undefeated AFC team remaining and it is the rejuvenated 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders who bring the NFL passing leader Derek Carr into SoFi Stadium for this MNF encounter. The Raiders rank No. 1 in total offense averaging 471 YPG lead by Carr's 379.7 passing YPG as he was name AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September. Justin Herbert the Chargers second year QB set a rookie record for TD passes last season with 31 and had four scoring throws last week against Kansas City. That being said the underdog is 18-6 ATS in the last 24 meetings and the Raiders are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Los Angeles. And as far as these offensive numbers are concerned these two team play polar opposites as the under is 16-4-1 in the last 21 meetings overall. Take CHARGERS! |

Tampa Bay at New England 8:20 ET Patriots (+) over Buccaneers- This may not be the best game of the day but it is the one that is drawing the most attention as Tom Brady returns to the place it all started. Earning five Super Bowl rings with the Patriots at 44 years old he now leads the Buccaneers against his former coach Bill Belichick who many say have destain for each other. One of the keys to Brady's success of late is Rob Gronkowski and he along with four other starters are doubtful for this encounter including Antonio Brown. New England will continue with rookie QB Mac Jones who has shown he can run the Pats offense but is still prone to rookie mistakes. Look for Belichick's defensive seam to keep this one closer than most expect. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

10-03-21 | Steelers +6 v. Packers | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 38 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Green Bay 4:25 ET Steelers (+) over Packers- So, I guess this is the beginning of the end of Ben Roethlisberger which he actually showed signs of in the final five games of 2020 as the Steelers are 3-7 in their last 10 games overall. Aaron Rodgers of course is considered the best 'passer' of the day and has recovered from a horrible opening week 38-3 loss to New Orleans and is back in top form. These two QB's met in Super Bowl XLV when Rogers won his only NFL Championship and named MVP. Despite what we've seen Big Ben is completing 64% of his passes and he will have the return of his top receiver Diontae Johnson and will be aided Najee Harris running the ball for the bottom ranked rushing team in the NFL. The Steelers are 24-8-2 ATS as dogs and 18-7-1 ATS as road dogs and the road team is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Baltimore at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos (+) over Ravens- Yes the Broncos are 3-0 but as so many have pointed out none of their three opponents have yet to win a game and are 0-10. Baltimore is 2-1 losing their opener against the Raiders after blowing a 14-0 lead. The dueling quarterbacks here are of contrasting styles as the Ravens Lamar Jackson and Denver's Teddy Bridgewater get the jobs done differently. The Broncos defense is No. 2 allowing just 221.7 YPG while Baltimore rep for a stout dense has taken a hit surrendering 394 YPG having played against the NFL top offense in the Raiders. Although the Ravens are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight. Take DENVER! |

N.Y. Giants at New Orleans 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Saints- Oh, my-oh-my how the New York media has already buried the Giants as their 0-3 start has been blamed on injuries, poor play, penalties and bad coaching decisions. New Orleans is getting to play their first game in the Superdome before a packed house for the first time since the 2019 regular season and as coach Sean Payton said 'It's going to be crazy in that building.' The Giants have lost twice on game ending field goals and their offense most likely will be with tow explosive wide receivers as Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton missed practice this week. Although New York is 0-3-1 ATS in their last four trips at this site they are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games as road underdogs. In a hairy outcome Big Blue gets the money. Take NEW YORK! |

10-03-21 | Browns v. Vikings +1 | 14-7 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Minnesota 10:00 ET Vikings (+) over Browns- This is a homecoming of sorts as 2020 NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski returns to Minnesota where he was part of the Vikings offensive coaching staff for 24 years. Minnesota has a pair of losses by a total of four points losing to Arizona 34-33 and Cincinnati 27-24. Minnesota running back is a 'probable' starter as he stated he is extremely confident that he will play. The Browns will have three interior linemen out as they were injured in their romp over Pittsburgh last week. Cleveland's role as a road favorite has not been beneficial as they are 1-7 ATS in that spot. This plays right into when Minny is at their best as they are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games as home underdogs. Take MINNESOTA! |

10-03-21 | Lions v. Bears -3 | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
Detroit at Chicago 10:00 ET Bears (-) over Lions- In one of the worst offense showing since the NFL started keeping stats the Bears still aren't sure who will be their starting quarterback or do they? Detroit is coming off a loss because of poor coaching decisions in final moments and officials failures to execute the rules of play. There is one difference between these two bottom feeders and that is the Lions are still without a win while Chicago posted a victory over Cincinnati. The oddsmakers don't seem to care as to who starts at QB for the Lions as they are still installed as a 3-point favorite. The Bears are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings at Soldier Field and should get the money here. Take CHICAGO! |

10-02-21 | Arizona State +3 v. UCLA | 42-23 | Win | 100 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
Arizona State at UCLA 10:30 ET Sun Devils (+) over Bruins- These 3-1 PAC-12 clubs match-up nicely on offense with Arizona State gaining 438 YPG and UCLA 434 YPG. On defense it's a different story where the Bruins surrender 394.3 YPG and the Sun Devils just 247.5 YPG raking No. 6 in the nation almost a 150 yard difference. Granted the Bruins have played a slightly harder schedule but not so much as the stats show. Although ASU is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs and UCLA is just 2-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

10-02-21 | Boston College v. Clemson -14.5 | 13-19 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
Boston College at Clemson 7:30 ET Tigers (-) over Eagles- So in this one we have a 4-0 club in Boston College more than a 2-TD underdog to a 2-2 team that is vastly overrated and has troubles scoring points (21.8). The Eagles are scoring 41.3 PPG although their competition is suspect having built stats against the likes of Colgate, Temple and Massachusetts. For Clemson (0-4 ATS) the competition has been much stiffer losing the the nation's best defense versus Georgia and upstart N.C. State. Add that BC is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as road underdogs and that the Tigers are just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings this line seems out of whack. But, like I've said so many time the 'bookmaker' goats you into thinking that you are getting value. Lay it with CLEMSON! |

10-02-21 | Oregon v. Stanford +8 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 6 m | Show |
Oregon at Stanford 3:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Ducks- To my surprise this week I see that Oregon is the No. 3 ranked team in the country as the Ducks have reeled off four straight wins but maybe it is because they are just 1-3 ATS that they snuck up on the rankings or maybe it is because or the most part the PAC-12 is not highly regarded. Stanford (2-2) has been inconsistent losing to UCLA last week and Kansas State in their opener while defeating USC in LA and lowly Vanderbilt on the road. The Ducks have 13 takeaways and lead the nation including five interceptions last week against Arizona. I must note that the Ducks are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 7-16-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points in their previous game. The Cardinal are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six PAC-12 games and 5-2-1 ATS overall in their last eight. Take STANFORD! |

Syracuse at Florida State 3:30 ET Seminoles (-) over Orange- Here it is, here's the Seminoles first win of the year after an 0-4 start with their only 'cover' in their opener against Notre Dame. Florida State's biggest problems comes from 11 turnovers. Syracuse is off home games against Albany and Liberty and will find the competition a bit stiffer here although most can't see it as FSU is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But the home team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings and the Orange people are 1-6 ATS after a SU win. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Ohio State at Rutgers 3:30 ET Buckeyes (-) over Scarlet Knights- Yes we can see great improvement with Rutgers 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS under coach Greg Schiano's leadership while Ohio State seems to have taken a step backwards. The Buckeyes struggled in their first two outings getting by Minnesota and losing to Oregon at home. But, in their last two games against lesser competition they garnered 1,130 yards against Tulsa and Akron. OSU is 2nd in the nation averaging 559.3 YPG and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Scarlet Knights. Don't be surprised with a blowout here. Take OHIO STATE! |

NCAAF Vegas Hotline Arkansas at Georgia 12:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Razorbacks- Are they (bookmakers) serious...the No. 2 Bulldogs are favored by nearly three touchdowns over No. 8 Arkansas who is 4-0 and have dismantled Texas 40-21 and Texas A&M 20-10 and are 4-0 ATS also with a romps over Rice and Georgia Southern. The Bulldogs have outscored opponents 168-23 and average 454.5 yards per game while the Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS as road dogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But, Georgia's defense is ranked No. 1 allowing just 185.3 YPG while QB J.T Daniels is 54-71 passing (76.1%) in three of the Bulldogs three wins. Too much firepower and defense for the Hogs to handle. Take GEORGIA! |

The Longhorns have totaled 1,259 yards in their last two wins and are ranked No. 3 in scoring averaging 46.8 PPG and have not punted in the last two games. Although Texas is 7-2 SU in the last nine meetings they are just 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Horned Frogs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and coach Gary Patterson will have his 'Horney Toads' ready. Take T.C.U.! |

Iowa at Maryland 8:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Hawkeyes- The best quarterback in the Tagovailoa family will be on display tonight as Tau II takes the field as the Big Tens leading passer with 1,340 yards and a 75.5 completion percentage. No. 5 Iowa has caught most of the conference attention as they have the No.3 best scoring defense in the country allowing just 11 PPG and lead the Big Ten with six interceptions. So, the strengths of both clubs will clash here and and Taulia will get the best of it as he has 10 TD passes and only one INT. The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and the Hawkeyes play great in September but when conference play starts in October they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven. Take MARYLAND! |

Jacksonville at Cincinnati 8:20 ET Jaguars (+) over Bengals- The Bengals are off a huge 24-10 emotional road win over Pittsburgh and they are still gloating about their victory against their arch rivals. Joe Barrow was last year's No. 1 draft pick and Cincinnati has shown vast improvement. This year's No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence is having difficulties throwing seven interceptions in his first three games and Jacksonville's defense hasn't helped rating 29th allowing 418 yards a game. Lawrence lost only twice in 36 starts at Clemson and has already lost three times to start his NFL career. Another part of the puzzle is Jacksonville coach Urban Meyer who didn't lose very often when coaching at the same level. This is a great spot for both of them to post their first NFL win. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

Virginia at Miami-FL 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hurricanes- These two 2-2 clubs have been a major disappointment on the season as more was expected from both of them. Miami's win came at home against App St and Central Connecticut (yes that Central CT) and their losses came against bonafide competition as they were blown out by Alabama and Michigan State and badly outclassed in both losses. Virginia opened with a pair of wins against lesser competition and fell badly as well against North Carolina and Wake Forest. The Cavaliers' Brennan Armstrong has passed for over 400 yards in three straight games leading the nation in passing with 430.5 YPG while the Hurricanes QB D'Eriq King has been a major disappointment and us questionable because of an injured throwing shoulder which would affect his already average arm.

The Cowboys offense is averaging 435 YPG as Dak Prescott leading the way throwing for 306 YPG but their defense is ranked 29th allowing 420 YPG. Philadelphia's defense has been one of the toughest holding opponents to 283 YPG. Seven Eagles have been grounded with injuries or COVID issues and that won't help them on either side of the ball. The home team and favorites have dominated this series of late but Dallas is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take the EAGLES! |

Green Bay at San Francisco 8:15 ET Niners (-) over Packers- So, you think the 'Pack is Back', think again. Rodgers may be as great as ever but their defense is a soft and they don't have much of a running game averaging 69.5 yards. Niners defense has yet to show itself but allowed just one TD last week on a 91-yard play otherwise they shut down the Eagles and have a healthy Garoppolo who has an impressive record as a starter. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

09-26-21 | Seahawks v. Vikings +2 | 17-30 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Seattle at Minnesota 4:25 ET Vikings (+) over Seahawks- The Vikings open at home after blowing two road games on the last play of the game while the Seahawks blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead to the Titans and lost in OT. Seattle has won six straight against Minnesota including a 27-26 home win scoring with six second to go. This game extract revenge. Sea-birds have Niners up next and may get caught peeking ahead. Take MINNESOTA! |

Tampa Bay at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET Rams over Buccaneers- The game of the day has the two NFC favorites going at it in LA where Tom Brady will play for the first time in his career. Hollywood is just a deep pass away and that will probably be the GOAT's next stop but now before that the Rams will butt him around here. Tampa has a pair of home wins and will face a fierce Rams rush in their first road game along with a passing offense behind Matt Stafford averaging 291 passing yards. Take the RAMS! |

09-26-21 | Dolphins +4 v. Raiders | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Miami at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Dolphins (+) over Raiders- How 'bout dem Raiders' opening the season 2-0 with impressive wins over the Ravens and Steelers and are enjoying the limelight. Miami can't play much worse than last weeks 35-0 blowout loss to the Bills and will be without their injury prone QB Tagovailoa and will start journeyman Jacob Brissett who is 12-20 as an NFL starter. The 'price' here seems awful cheap and this leads me to believing the Dolphins will play tough and LV maybe caught napping. Take MIAMI! |

09-26-21 | Ravens v. Lions +7.5 | Top | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
Baltimore at Detroit 1:05 ET Lions (+) over Ravens- The Ravens pulled off an unexpected upset win over KCSunday night with Lamar Jackson showing he is one of the best running backs in the NFL. The Lions hung tough in the first half against Green Bay showing they can more the ball. With the Ravens still banged-up and riding high on their victory I expect a small letdown and as the Lions roar at home. Take DETROIT! |

09-26-21 | Cardinals v. Jaguars +8 | 31-19 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Arizona at Jacksonville 1:05 ET Jaguars (+) over Cardinals- Cardinals are flying high after their improbable win last week but might have trouble taking the Jaguars seriously even with their No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence (14-33 122 yds 2 INT's last week) and coach Urban Meyer. Jags had 189 total offensive yards last week vs Denver last week with just one offensive TD on their first possession. Jax allows 424 YPG ranking 29 while Arizona puts up 445 YPG ranking 2nd yet it's the Jaguars time to bite. Take JACKSONVILLE |

West Virginia at Oklahoma 7:30 ET Sooners (–) over Mountaineers- My oh my, the beat goes on with the Mountaineers. Play on them at home as favorites and against them on the road as underdogs as they are 5-11 ATS as road dogs. Oklahoma is off a competitive win over Nebraska and has won all eight meetings since they joined the Big-12 as West Virginia is 0-5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The Sooners are 6-1 ATS in their last seven conference games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as favorites. Take OKLAHOMA! |

09-25-21 | Nebraska +5 v. Michigan State | Top | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 32 h 57 m | Show |
Nebraska at Michigan State 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Spartans- I saw the Spartans up front and personal last week at Miami in their 38-17 beatdown of the Hurricanes. Yes that seem impressive and they played a swell game but the Canes just can't compete against better competition. Nebraska is led at quarterback by fifth year senior Adrian Martinez who for the most part has been a disappointment for the Cornhuskers but is coming off a maturing game against the Sooners going 19-25 for 289 yards. Huskers are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss and 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games on grass and are 9-4-1 ATS as road underdogs. Spartans are 5-15n ATS in last 20 conference games and 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 games as hosts. Add that MSU is 1-101- ATS in last 12 as home favorites and Huskers are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |

09-25-21 | Louisville v. Florida State +2 | 31-23 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 26 m | Show | |
Louisville at Florida State 3:30 ET Seminoles (+) over Cardinals- After losing to FCS Jacksonville State the downtrodden Seminoles were pasted 35-14 by an underrated Wake Forest team that dropped them to 0-3. The last time Florida State was 0-3 was 1975 in Bobby Bowden's first year as coach and they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Louisville is off a great 42-35 win over Central Florida but are just 1-4 ATS after an ATS win. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and that's about the best I can say about the Seminoles except that they get the money here. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Texas A&M vs Arkansas 3:00 ET Aggies (-) over Razorbacks- Arkansas is running hog wild averaging 282 yards on the ground and 492 yards in total offense from scrimmage as they host the Aggies in Arlington. Both clubs are 3-0 but Texas A&M has been here before while this is new territory for the Razorbacks. The Aggie defense is No. 9 in the nation allowing just 239 yards a game and ranked No1 against the pass surrendering just 77.3 YPG. Hogs just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs at neural sites and 1-8 ATS in games after a win by more than 20 points. Take TEXAS A&M! |

Clemson at N.C State 3:30 ET Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- This is one of those 'don't make sense' lines on Saturday. Both these clubs are 2-1 with N.C State 2-0 at home outscoring opponents 90-7 and averaging 456 yards a game on offense for the season. Clemson meanwhile has struggled offensively averaging just 322 yards a game and 22 points and are on the road for the first time this year and they are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games as favorites. But, the Tigers have won 15 of the last 16 meetings including a 55-10 win in their last meetings and out-scoring the Wolfpack 96-17 in the last two meets. Wolves are just 4-10 ATS in last 14 games against teams with winning records. Take CLEMSON! |

09-25-21 | Notre Dame v. Wisconsin -6 | 41-13 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
Notre Dame vs Wisconsin 12;00 ET Badgers (-) over Fighting Irish- Don't get sucked into the Irish side here as they once again are overrated while Wisconsin as usual is not that highly regarded. The storyline here will be the former Badger quarterback Jack Coan who who now starts for Notre Dame after he left the program after he was beaten out by current Whisky QB Graham Mertz. The line in this contest at Soldier Field seems a bit high and it is because he Fighting Irish have had to struggle to defeat Toledo and Purdue after surviving a scare at Florida State. Don't be deterred...take WISCONSIN! |

Wake Forest at Virginia 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Demon Deacons- Wake Forest is off to a quick start at 3-0 and 1-0 in the ACC while Virginia who was 2-0 is off a dreadful loss to North Carolina where they surrendered 699 yards on defense to North Carolina losing 59-39. The Cavaliers quarterback Brennan Armstrong threw for a school record 554 yards passing in that game and directs the No. 4 rankled offense averaging 558 YPG who are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 home games. Take VIRGINIA! |

09-23-21 | Panthers v. Texans +8.5 | 24-9 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
Carolina at Houston 8:15 ET Texans (+) over Carolina- This is a really tough call and it has taken me most of the day to finally squeeze the trigger and make the call. Houston as we are all aware are down to their third quarterback as Tyrod Taylor who replaced Deshaun Watson has a rib injury and the duties have fallen upon rookie Davis Mills. The 2-0 Panthers have a refreshed Sam Darnold at the helm and he looks and is playing like a different guy from what we saw when he led the Jets. Both offenses are comparable but Carolina's defense has been outstanding ranking No. 1 allowing just 190 total yards per game. Play HOUSTON! |

09-19-21 | Chiefs v. Ravens +4 | 35-36 | Win | 100 | 25 h 36 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Baltimore 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over Chiefs- Man, if this game was being played in an alley with no betting an no TV I'm sure Kansas City would get the best of the Ravens. But, this contest in on National TV for all to see and their will be NFL officials there to keep it close. In losing to the Raiders Monday night the Ravens have been decimated by more injuries the Ravens are a home dog against the Chiefs and when the met just a year ago the were 3.5-point favorites and lost outright to KC 34-20. Kansas City is just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and Baltimore is 5-1 ATS in their last six games as home underdogs. This one's hairy but the 'action' is so heavy on the Chiefs that the bookmakers will get destroyed on parlays and teasers if they win. The bookies just don't seem to lose these type of games. Take BALTIMORE! |

09-19-21 | Vikings +3.5 v. Cardinals | 33-34 | Win | 100 | 19 h 55 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Arizona 4:05 ET Vikings (+) over Cardinals- Arizona was my 'Highest-Rated' best bet (3-0) winner last week as the just went out and crushed the Titans 38-13 in Tennessee. Minnesota meanwhile has continued to struggle as they lost as a favorite 27-24 in OT at Cincinnati and are 0-4 ATS including the preseason. The Vikings were plagued with mistakes as they committed 10 penalties and turned the ball over three times and are 0-8 ATS in their last eight regular season games but are 3-0-2 ATS in the last five meetings. Arizona has not been the best at home when favored as they are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 games as favorites as hosts and 7-19 ATS as home favorites in their last 26 games overall. Take MINNESOTA! |

09-19-21 | Patriots v. Jets +6 | 25-6 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 45 m | Show | |
New England at N.Y Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Patriots- A pair of rookie quarterbacks will face each other in New York as the Patriots will bring Mac Jones to play his first road game against Zach Wilson and what has been the hapless Jets. New York has dropped 10 straight games to New England but are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings at home as the home team is 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings and the Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games overall. Playing before their home fans first the first time since December 2019 New York will be juiced and their defense can keep this one close against at rookie QB. Take the J-E-T-S! |

09-19-21 | Rams v. Colts +4 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 5 h 49 m | Show |
L.A. Rams at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Rams- The Rams entered the season with the NFL's No. 1 defense and during the off season they added (as we all are aware) one of the league best passers in Matthew Stafford. Last week we all saw what they are capable of by outclassing the Bears on Sunday night dominating on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis wasn't as impressive with their 'new' quarterback as they only produced 336 yards on offense scoring only one touchdown when the game was competitive. The Rams are just 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records while the Colts are 9-1-1 ATS after a double digit home loss and Indy is 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with winning records. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |
|||||||
09-19-21 | Bills v. Dolphins +3.5 | 35-0 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Buffalo at Miami 1:00 ET Dolphins (+) over Bills- There is no doubt in my mind that the majority of 'players' that bet this game will take Buffalo. After all they were everybody's darlings to dethrone Kansas City in the AFC and they played like a team that feels the pressure in Game 1 against the Steelers and already they have a sense of urgency. The Bills have won the last five meetings but have not responded well after a loss going 1-4 in their last five after a SU loss while the Dolphins are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs. Take MIAMI! |

09-19-21 | Broncos v. Jaguars +6 | 23-13 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Denver at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Broncos- Last week Jacksonville who was the worst team in the NFL last season and took Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick were favored on the road ta Houston. This week after showing they aren't all that much better are an underdog at home to Denver who manhandled the Giants in new York last week with Teddy Bridgewater leading the way. Things were so disappointing for the Jaguars that rumors immediately surfaced the Coach Urban Meyer was leaving for the USC job. But, this week the Broncos will be without Bridgewater's favorite receiver Jerry Jeudy as he has been placed on the IR. Denver is just 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games when favored and just 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

09-18-21 | Arizona State -3.5 v. BYU | 17-27 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 5 m | Show | |
Arizona State at BYU 10:15 ET Sun Devils (-) over Cougars- BYU is 2-0 having defeated a pair of Pac-12 clubs in taking down Arizona and Utah. I can't tell you how big the Cougars (+7) win over Utah is in the Holy War after having lost to the Utes nine straight times. So, at 2-0 BYU is now a home dog to another Pac-12 team and that is telling as they are emotionally drained and have been on cloud-9 all week. The Cougars will return to earth as a home dog as ASU is 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and 3-1-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take SUN DEVILS! |

09-18-21 | Auburn v. Penn State -5 | 20-28 | Win | 100 | 26 h 23 m | Show | |
Auburn at Penn State 7:30 ET Nittany Lions (-) over Tigers- This should be a good one as these 2-0 clubs from two major conferences face off as the Big Ten's Penn State will host the SEC's Auburn. The Tigers opened the season with a pair of wins by scoring 60 and 62 points against FCS schools Akron and Alabama State averaging 576 yards on offense and allowing just 194 ypg. Penn State defeated a pair of FBS schools opening with a win at Wisconsin and a win over Ball State. Since starting last season 0-5 both SU and ATS the Lions are 6-0 both SU and ATS and are a strong favorite here as they have played some real competition as opposed to Auburn who built their stats against the weakest of opponents. Taker PENN STATE! |

09-18-21 | Virginia v. North Carolina -7.5 | 39-59 | Win | 100 | 26 h 22 m | Show | |
Virginia at North Carolina 7:00 ET Tar Heels (-) over Cavaliers- The Tar Heels have a long way to go to rebuild their image after their loss at Virginia Tech. So many believed in them and predicted a possible FBS Bowl bid, but it's not to be! Last season when North Carolina was undefeated they went to Charlottesville and were upset 44-31 as an 8-point favorites and are now 0-4 SU and ATS in the last four meetings. Virginia is 2-0 SU and ATS this year defeating W&M as 30-point favorites and Illinois as 10.5-point favorites and now they are heavy underdogs on the road where they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. Heels are 6-2 ATS as home favorites in their last eight games as hosts. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

09-18-21 | Northwestern v. Duke +3 | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Duke 4:00 ET Blue Devils (+) over Wildcats- I don't like what I've seen out of Northwestern it's going to be a long season for the Wildcats. On offense they ranked 91st averaging only 338 YPG and that's having played Indiana State as a 28.5-point favorite winning 24-6 while accumulating just 275 yards on offense. For Duke who is off a miserable year filled with turnovers they are 1-1 but average 507 yards a game have defeated Northwestern the last two meetings as dogs winning both outright. The line here is very suspect and I expect the blue devils to wins easily. Take DUKE! |

09-18-21 | Alabama v. Florida +15 | Top | 31-29 | Win | 100 | 22 h 29 m | Show |
Alabama at Florida 3:30 ET Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Can anyone play with Alabama? I'm serious about this, they look to be the most physical team (Maybe Georgia) that I've seen this season. Florida always has talent at the skilled positions and speed to boot. The Tide lost two linebackers last week and that might give the Gators an opening they hadn't thought of prior to their injuries. Florida coach Dan Mullen is 0-10 lifetime against Nick Saban coached teams but got the money last season in a 52-46 loss to the Tide. This is Alabama's first trip to Gainesville since 2011 and they are 1-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and the gators are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after an ATS loss. Take FLORIDA! |

09-18-21 | Nevada -1 v. Kansas State | 17-38 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 56 m | Show | |
Nevada at Kansas State 2:05 ET Wolf Pack over Wildcats- A pair of the nation's better defenses face off at Bill Snyder Stadium as 2-0 Kansas State hosts 2-0 Nevada. The Wildcats allow just 254.5 yards per game ranking them in the Top-20 while the Wolf Pack allows just 165 yards per game ranking No. 7 in the nation. On offense Kansas State has a decided advantage averaging 363 yards while Nevada can barely eek out 186.5 YPG. So why is the 2-0 home team who comes from a superior program and underdog here. Cats will be without QB Skylar Thompson and that means trouble. Also KSU opens conference play next week against OK. St. and might not be truly focused. Take NEVADA! |

09-18-21 | Cincinnati v. Indiana +4 | 38-24 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 57 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Bearcats- Come-on you've got to be kidding me. Cincinnati is a power house that is built around defense Indiana is an imposter built around an overrated quarterback that can't throw the ball with any accuracy. The Hoosiers quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. opened the season with three interceptions against Iowa but bounced back going 11-of-16 and two mTD's passing and one rushing. Cincinnati ranked in the top-10 is considered a dark horse for the FBS playoffs and crushed Murray State 42-7 last time out after pounding Miami-Ohio 49-14. With this line being so cheap as it is I expect the Hoosiers the surprise here. The Bearcats are 2-5 ATS in their last seven as road favorites and Indy is 5-1 ATAS in their last six games as underdogs and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 overall. Take INDIANA! |

09-17-21 | Maryland v. Illinois +7 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
Maryland at Illinois 9:00 ET Fighting Illini (+) over Terrapins- Maryland has already posted a pair of wins and are averaging 535 ypg with both victories coming at home. They defeated West Virginia (a horrid road team) in their opener 30-24 as a 2.5-point underdog and then crush Howard 62-0 as a 47-point favorite. Illinois meanwhile opened the Bret Bielema era with an upset win over Nebraska and have dropped a pair of games since losing to UTSA and getting blown out by Virginia 42-14 last week. Illinois starting QB Brandon Peters will return from injury in this contest and can be the difference as Maryland takes to the road for the first time. Take ILLINOIS! |

09-13-21 | Ravens -4 v. Raiders | 27-33 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Las Vegas 8:15 ET Ravens (-) over Raiders- I don't believe that I have ever seen a team lose three top running backs to injury in such a short span, I know I have never witnessed it before. The question is can the NFL's top rushing team survive with three newcomers in the backfield? Las Vegas can't wait to play before a 'live' crowd in their new Allegiant Stadium. The town has been a buzz for a week now and this game has become a Las Vegas 'event' and their be fireworks before and after the game I'm sure. Too bad for the home town fans and Raiders backers you will be disappointed before the night over. LV's defense allowed 29.9 points per game last season and should remain porous for the Ravens. Take BALTIMORE! |

09-12-21 | Bears +9 v. Rams | 14-34 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
Chicago at L.A. Rams 8:20 ET Bears (+) over Rams- I expect the Rams now with Matthew Stafford leading the way at quarterback will receive the bulk of the 'action' as they are one of the NFC favorites to reach the Super Bowl. Chicago will try and bottle up the Rams with a defense led by Khali Mack and on offense they will rely on veteran and 3-time pro bowler Andy Dalton to lead the way (for now). The Bears are just 7-14 ATS on the road under Matt Nagy but, the average margin of loss is just 4-points. L.A. defeated Chicago 24-10 last season...it will be closer this season. Take Da' BEARS! |

09-12-21 | Packers v. Saints +3.5 | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 17 h 27 m | Show | |
Green Bay vs. New Orleans 4:25 ET Saints (+) over Packers- I had to drop this a notch because of the site change as it is being played in Jacksonville, Florida. Not far away but still not home. Well, the Packers Aaron Rogers ear is coming to an end and the Saints Jameis Winston ear is beginning. We can't count Winston out as he has thrown for 5,000 yards although those 30 intercepts will break any teams heart. Maybe with some good coaching and play calling he can shine. The Saints have been working out inTexas because of Ida and that can bering a team closer. I like the Saints to come marching in! Take NEW ORLEANS! |
