11-06-19 | Knicks +4.5 v. Pistons | 102-122 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
New York at Detroit 7:00 ET Knicks (+) over Pistons- Can it get any worse in New York? The MSG fans are already calling for coach David Fizdale's head as the Knicks have won just one of seven. Detroit is a banged up crew that is awaiting the season debut of Blake Griffin while Derrick Rose and Reggie Jackson are sidelined. The Pistons have won seven straight meetings including six straight at home. The guards might return soon but what kind of playing shape will they be in. Take NEW YORK! |

11-05-19 | Magic +2.5 v. Thunder | 94-102 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Orlando at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Magic (+) over Thunder- Both of these clubs are at 2-4 SU but bet and money wise the Thunder are 4-2 ATS while Orlando is just 1-4-1 ATS this season including 0-2 SU and ATS on the road. OKC has defeated the Magic 14 of their last 16 meetings but the Magic are 6-1 meetings in Oklahoma City and 10-4 ATS in the last 14 overall. Thunder coach Billy Donovan is having to deal with injury, illness and players getting into foul trouble early and has had to use makeshift lineup. Take the MAGIC! |

11-05-19 | Lakers v. Bulls +7.5 | 118-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Lakers- After an opening game loss to the Clippers the Lakers have reeled off five straight wins going 5-0 ATS. Los Angeles are bad a year as they had were 2-0 against the Bulls last season and are 4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Chicago right now is the worst shooting team in the league and are just 6-20 ATS in their last 26 home games. But, LA is just 9-25-1 ATS in their 35 games against the East. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
11-05-19 | Celtics v. Cavs +6.5 | Top | 119-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show |
Boston at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Celtics- Boston has run off four straight win since an opening season loss Philadelphia with Kemba Walker and the return to form by Gordon Hayward and play of Jason Tatum. The Cavaliers may be a bit underrated this season with a healthy Kevin Love and Christian Thompson along with a pair of dynamic guards in Darius Garland and Collin Sexton could surprise some this season. Hopefully that surprise continues tonight. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings as hosts and the home team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-04-19 | Cowboys v. Giants +7 | 37-18 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Dallas at New York Giants 8:15 ET Giants (+) over Cowboys- It looks like New York's future star is beginning to dim after four straight Giants' losses. Dallas with Dak Prescott has lead the Cowboys to five straight wins over New York both SU and ATS including the 35-17 win to open the season. The 'Boys seem to be ready for NFC East play as they are 13-3 ATS versus the NFC Easy in their last 16 meetings. The Giants are totally inconsistent going 5-17-1 ATS after a point spread win. Having been out-scored 38-0 in the first quarter of their last four games the Giants will get off to better start at home on a Monday night. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
11-04-19 | Pelicans +4 v. Nets | 125-135 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Nets- Ya know sumthin...this just ain’t right! Would you think as I do, that Brooklyn with their added off season firepower (Kyrie Irving and such) that they should be a stronger favorite over the decimated Pelicans. New Orleans who gutted their squad trading away Anthony Davis and then drafted Zion Williamson who blew out another sneaker and is out for two months. So this 1-5 club with the worst record in the NBA is such a small underdog makes me wonder. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Jazz +4.5 v. Clippers | 94-105 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Utah at L.A. Clippers 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Clippers- Los Angeles with Kawhi Leonard added to the mix is expected to contend fo the NBA title this season and is off to a 3-0 start at home going 2-1 ATS. Utah will be an obstacle the Clippers must overcome as they have already lost to the Jazz in Salt Lake bowing 110-96 and have struggled in this series. The Jazz are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in Los Angeles. Add that the Clippers are 1-6 ATS after a SU win. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Patriots v. Ravens +3.5 | Top | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 27 h 59 m | Show |
New England at Baltimore 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over Patriots- Truly an interesting game with plenty of side plots and storylines. Starting with quarterback comparisons when it is difficult to do because they both Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson have such contrasting styles. Results are probably the best measure and one guy comes in 8-0 with plenty of defensive help and they others resume is still on its opening page. As invulnerable as New England appears there is one obvious Achilles Heel...they are on their third place kicker of the season cutting both Mike Nugent for Nick Folk. The dog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but the Ravens are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games...that streak ends tonight. Take BALTIMORE! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Mavs v. Cavs +5.5 | Top | 131-111 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
Dallas at Cleveland 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Mavericks- Although they blew a 10-point lead against the Lakers last time out the Mavericks are a much improved team this season with Kristaps Porzingis joining future super-star Luka Doncic who posted his second triple-double of the season in that overtime loss. Now, Dallas takes to the road where they will try and win their third straight without a loss. Cleveland is 2-0 both SU and ATS at home and veteran All-star Kevin Love has had five straight double-doubles to start the season. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Bulls +2.5 v. Pacers | 95-108 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
Chicago at Indiana 5:00 ET Bulls (+) over Pacers- A match of also rans that have already started to play out the string. Indiana opened the year with three straight losses but have rebounded by winning their last two. A pair of wins is enough for these guys (Pacers) although Indiana has had the best of the Bulls when playing as hosts winning nine of the last 12 as hosts but Chicago has taken five of the last seven ATS. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Packers v. Chargers +4 | Top | 11-26 | Win | 100 | 23 h 23 m | Show |
Green Bay at L.A. Chargers 4:25 ET Chargers (+) over Packers- Okay, I'm trying to keep calm until game time but this has to the 'Major Shocker' of the day. Green Bay comes rolling into Los Angeles winning their last four scoring 73 points in their last two taking down a pair of AFC West teams in Oakland and Kansas City. This week they have drawn the regrouping Chargers who had just 231 yards total offense in their 17-16 win at Chicago. Series history buries LA as the Packers have won the last seven and 10-11 meetings overall. With little fan sport the home Chargers are just 1-3 SU and 0-3-1 ATS as 'hosts.' LA (HA) has made a change at OC and maybe Los Angeles will score some goals in this diminutive soccer stadium. Take the CHARGERS! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Browns v. Broncos +4.5 | 19-24 | Win | 100 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos (+) over Browns- Oh what fun could we have here...Mayfield against the World and a starting quarterback of the home team that is so obscure even NFL films is not aware of who he is. But, my research team found out that it is Roy Hobbs! Yep! 'We' let everyone know during the preseason to ignore the 'hype' and 'fade' the Cleveland Browns. All show and NO substance! So, far so good to the point where they are imploding because their lack of professionalism and class and they lead the NFL in penalties and turnovers. Broncos come to play together as a team at home and get it done. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Bucs +5 v. Seahawks | 34-40 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 9 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay ay Seattle 4:05 ET Buccaneers (+) over Seahawks- 'Toughest game on the board to bet', if your side is the Buccaneers! So, 'we' will have them with the understanding that 'business' must be done. There is no 'straight' way that Jamis 'Turnover Machine' Winston can defeat Pete Carol and the Seahawks defense any other way. The price of this game less than a TD and missed extra point a winner. The best I can figure is that all week watching film the Hawks were laughing and talking about the facing undefeated 49ers in Frisco next Monday night. Who knows for real...this has got to be a set-up game for us to win and we will! Take TAMPA BAY! |
|||||||
11-03-19 | Colts v. Steelers +1 | Top | 24-26 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show |
Indianapolis at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET Steelers over Colts- I'm getting a lot of resistance with this one as some are afraid of Pittsburgh's offensive question mark quarterback notwithstanding as all-purpose runner/receiver James Conner some an important part of the Steelers offense will be missing. Yeah, I get it, but 'teams' win games and although they looked like crap Monday night against Miami, that they are closer than you might think. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the underdog is 5-2 in the last seven meetings and the Steelers could be both by game time. Take PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | 76ers +2 v. Blazers | 129-128 | Win | 100 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Portland 10:00 ET 76ers (+) over Trailblazers- Take a step back and get a good look at this match-up between two of the NBA's better clubs. But, the point is here is Portland coming off of a four-game road trip where they 'covered' every outing, and now they return home against the undefeated 76ers who will be without their best player Joel Embiid. No Embiid, no problem for Philadelphia. They are used to playing without him and the line reflects the Sixers overall strength and seems to short-hand the Blazers at home. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Suns v. Grizzlies +3.5 | 114-105 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Suns- Phoenix has opened the season with five straight point spread wins and are 3-2 straight up and that is without center Deandre Ayton who is on a drug suspension. The Suns are off of a huge win (in their eyes) over Golden State while the Grizzlies have had three days to recover from their 120-91 loss to the Lakers. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Oregon v. USC +4.5 | 56-24 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 60 m | Show | |
Oregon at U.S.C. 8:00 ET Trojans (+) over Ducks- Only a single 29-yard touchdown play on the final play of the game against Auburn in their season opener prevents Oregon from entering this game undefeated. The lone blemished pushed the Pac-12 out of the FBS playoff picture because the conference is preconceive as being weak (and they are!) Herbert 21 TD and only one interception. USC Slovis 72% 4-0 at home 5-0 in pac-12 Trojans 4-0 AST after loss as is Oregon. Ducks average 6.6 yards per offensive play and USC 6.5 per attempt. Favorite 9-2 in the series. Take SOUTHERN CAL! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Virginia +2.5 v. North Carolina | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 20 h 2 m | Show | |
Virginia at North Carolina 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Tar Heels- The upstart Tar Heels are tied with Virginia for the ACC Coastal Division lead at 3-2 as the Cavaliers have dropped three of their last four and three of four on the road while North Carolina is 3-2 at home but an impressive 4-1 ATS. Mac Brown filled the stands with excitement with early season successes like beat South Carolina when people thought that they were good. Virginia had little left after Notre Dame as 'we' posted Louisville fading the Cavaliers, this time they get it done. Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Nets v. Pistons +2 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Nets- The Pistons opened the season with a road win against Indiana but have dropped four of five since with that lone win coming once against over the Pacers. Detroit is a little 'banged' up still have Andre Drummond who has had six straight triple-doubles and and three 20-20 games along with a reborn Derrick Rose. This is a bit of a time and place selection as the Nets took down the Lakers in Brooklyn last night while the Piston return home after a loss at Chicago. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Georgia -5.5 v. Florida | 24-17 | Win | 100 | 18 h 43 m | Show | |
Georgia vs Florida 3:30 ET Bulldogs (-) over Gators- The same 'numbers' never lie but remember they can be very deceiving. So, No. 6 Florida is this heavy of an underdog against No. 7 Georgia at their usual neutral site in Jacksonville. So, when we compare stats we seen Georgia averages 7.1 yards per offensive attempt and lead the ACC in scoring defense allowing just 10.6 points per game and 266 yards defensively. The Bulldogs have won the last two and they haven't been close outscoring the Gators 78-24. the favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and Georgia is 7-1 in their last eight at neutral sites. Lay-it...take the BULLDOGS! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Kansas State v. Kansas +6 | Top | 38-10 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 13 m | Show |
Kansas State at Kansas 3:30 ET Jayhawks (+) over Wildcats- The is a great spot for the Jayhawks as they catch State off of their biggest upset win in over a decade as they just physically out-manned Oklahoma. That was no flute these Wildcats can play, but can they sustain that intensity four another full four quarters? Kansas won in upset style themselves and at 3-5 they are much improved with Carter Stanley throwing 19 TDs already. It's not that the Wildcats can't win easy, under most circumstances they probably would, but it's just the time and don't forgot the place. Take KANSAS! |
|||||||
11-02-19 | UNLV v. Colorado State -7 | 17-37 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
U.N.L.V. At Colorado State 3:30 ET Rams (-) over Rebels- Now, this is a hoot! The past two weeks 'we' have capitalized on UNLV as they were in great positions to cover and the did. This week we find an over-rated (yes even at 2-6) team that people just love to bet and really can't play and are poorly coached. On offensive there are times when the Rebels show some flashes of brilliance but their defense is consistent...constantly bad. The Rams have won their last two and are 3-5 but have an offense averaging 474 yards that will shred the Rebels lack-of-D. Take COLORADO STATE! |
|||||||
11-01-19 | Lakers v. Mavs +2 | 119-110 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Dallas 9:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Lakers- After an opening game loss to the Clippers the Lakers have responded with three straight home wins and covers. With LeBron James at the 'point' the Lakers newly acquired Anthony Davis could emerge as the most dominating player in the NBA as evidenced in his last performance of 40 points and 20 rebounds. Tonight, the Mavericks will present a formidable front line with Luka Donic and Kristaps Porzingis who will play a more physical brand of ball. The Lakers have won the last five meetings between the two including all three last year. Tonight that ends...take DALLAS! |
|||||||
11-01-19 | Rockets v. Nets +4.5 | Top | 116-123 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Houston at Brooklyn 7:00 ET Nets (+) over Rockets- Well, something has to give here as both these clubs are 0-4 ATS while Houston is 3-1 SU and the Nets 1-3. Major additions to each club has changed to face of these clubs as Russell Westbrook was added to the Rockets and Brooklyn added Kyrie Irving and of course Kevin Durant who isn't expected to play this season. Houston is coming off of one of the highest scoring games in NBA history defeating the Wizards 159-158 in regulation no less. The Nets are hungrier than the Rockets and get the win here and are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
11-01-19 | Bucks v. Magic +4.5 | 123-91 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee who may have the league's best talent in Giannis Antetokounmpo and after last season they will have a target on their back. Orlando's offense is run through their All-star center Nikola Vucevic who averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds last season. Even though the Bucks have won seven of the last 10 meetings they are just 4-9-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Orlando. Take the MAGIC! |
|||||||
10-31-19 | Nuggets v. Pelicans +4 | 107-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Denver at New Orleans 9:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Nuggets- Thoughts of becoming a playoffs team for New Orleans were dashed when No. 1 overall draft pick Zion Williamson when down and a team that traded away their biggest assets now has very little firepower. The Pelicans have yet to win a game and at 0-4 they allow the most points 128.3 per game while Denver's coach Michael Malone is upset with Denver's defense. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry wants to establish a home court advantage and it must start here. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
10-31-19 | 49ers v. Cardinals +10.5 | 28-25 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
San Francisco at Arizona 8:20 ET Cardinals (+) over 49ers- San Francisco is running roughshod over their opponents with the emphasis on running. The Niners a balanced offense led by emerging start Jimmy Garoppolo management and 185 yards rushing per game. Arizona my have won just three of their eight games but the are 5-3 ATS and have one of the most exciting players in the league with Kyler Murray leading the offense. The Cardinals seem to get ready for the 49ers as they have limited them to 18 points of less in the last four meetings. San Fran on a roll but will come-back somewhat and the Cardinals look forward to being a Thursday night host after last weeks dismal performance in New Orleans. Take ARIZONA! |
|||||||
10-31-19 | Georgia Southern +15.5 v. Appalachian State | Top | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
Georgia Southern and Appalachian State 8:00 ET Eagles (+) over Mountaineers- There is no doubt No 20 Appalachian State is the best of the also-rans (see 2018 Central Florida) and are meetings the team that knocked them out of the Top-25 last year. So, yes they have revenge on their minds but they are facing one of the best running games in the nation. Georgia Southern has the 7th ranked rushing offense (26 per) led by Junior running backs J.D. King and Wesley Kennedy III and have six players that have run for at least 100 in a game. Take GEORGIA SOUTHERN! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Clippers v. Jazz -2.5 | 96-110 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Utah 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Clippers- The Clippers are out to show the rest of the league that they are for real and I'm beginning to believe them. Los Angeles went impressive starting the season with a pair of wins and covers against the Lakers and at Golden State, but have split their last two SU and gone 0-2 ATS losing at Phoenix and taking down Charlotte by 15 as a 15.5-point favorite. Utah has is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and is 2-0 SU at home this season. The Jazz are the leading defensive team in the league and allow just 88 points per game at home. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Blazers v. Thunder +1.5 | 102-99 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Portland at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- Last season these two great guard matchups as thee Thunder's Russell Westbrook and Paul George would pair up against Portland's Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. The Trailblazers are 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS on the road as this is their four game in five away from home and OKC plays five of six at home and has proved capable defeating Golden State 120-92 at home. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Bucks v. Celtics +3 | Top | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- These two may end up battling each other in the Eastern Conference Finals but as of right now Milwaukee have the bragging rights. The Bucks have been a bully in this series of late going 4-0 ATS in the four meetings but the Celtics had taken four of the previous five meetings. But it was Milwaukee that ousted Boston from the playoffs last year. Of late the Bucks are 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records and are 0-4 against the NBA Atlantic and surrender 118 points per game while Boston holds opponents to 102.7 and they will play defense at home. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Pacers +3.5 v. Nets | 118-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Indiana at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Nets- Indiana has opened the season 0-3 but their losing streak goes back further that that as they have lost seven straight and nine of 10 and are the only winless team in the East. Brooklyn may have Kyrie Irving and he is great but they are becoming aware that he brings plenty of baggage with him. He proved difficult in China ignoring team functions and he has been the focal point of two one-point overtime losses. The Pacers won two-of-three matchups last season including a 114-106 win at Brooklyn. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
10-30-19 | Bulls v. Cavs +2.5 | Top | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bulls- Chicago opened the season with their bags packed and tonight they are playing their fourth game in five on the road winning once at Memphis. Cleveland is 1-2 SU but 2-1 ATS with their win in their lone home game over Indiana as a 4.5-point dog. The Bulls have dominated the series going 28-10 ATS in the last 38 meetings including 20-6 ATS at Cleveland. But, faces have changed and this version of the Bulls is like the gang that 'couldn't shoot straight.' Chicago is last in 3-point shooting an are 26th in overall shooting percentage. Tristan Thompson is healthy after battling injuries the past two seasons has been impressive (19 pts, 12.3 rebound and Kevin Love has 15.7 points and 15.7 rebounds a game. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
10-29-19 | Hawks +8 v. Heat | Top | 97-112 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Atlanta at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Hawks- Interesting match-up here as the 2-1 Hawks fly to Miami after a tough 105-103 home loss to the 76ers. The Heat who are 2-1 are expecting the debut of Jimmy Butler who once again is having problems getting on the playing floor missing the first three games because of a birth of a daughter. Miami has averaged 120 in his absence and it can only be a plus (hopefully) with his finally getting playing time. With, Butler ready to play there is always the chance some of the Hawks will be 'rested' in the second of their back-to-back games. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
10-28-19 | Nuggets v. Kings +6 | 101-94 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Denver at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Nuggets- I really expected to be 'on' the Kings this season but not this way. Without Marvin Bagley Sacramento is 0-3 he won't return until after Christmas. Denver took all three meetings last year and have won eight of nine in the series. The Kings had just two players score in double figures in their 113-81 loss at Utah Saturday with center Dewayne Dedmon's 11 points being the team high. In that game coach Luke Walton pulled all his starters in the second quarter as it was a second game in back-to-back games. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
10-28-19 | Dolphins v. Steelers -14 | 14-27 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Miami at Pittsburgh 8:15 ET Steelers (-) over Dolphins- Pittsburgh's quarterback Mason Rudolph has been cleared from concussion protocol and will be behind the center tonight as the Steelers host the winless Dolphins. Miami has covered their last two and it usually is a good idea to play 'on' a winless team later in the season but that is 'usually' the play. They will start veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick at QB and that doesn't help their 31st ranked rushing defense. Miami surrenders over 35 points per game and score just 10.5. The rout is on...the PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
10-28-19 | Magic +5 v. Raptors | Top | 95-104 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
Orlando at Toronto 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- To start with I was a little surprised that Orlando was favored Saturday night at Atlanta and expected better from them as they fell to Trae Young and the Hawks going just 5-31 from 3-point range. Toronto put on a defensive clinic against the Bulls holding them to just 84 points posting their second victory of the season after their loss at Boston. These two met in the first-round of the NBA Playoffs least season the Raptors winning four straight after dropping the opener after splitting four regular season games. I expect the Magic to shoot better tonight. Take ORLANDO! |
|||||||
10-28-19 | 76ers v. Hawks +5 | 105-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over 76ers- Oh boy, so two games into the season Trae Young declares 'That's what makes big-time players what they are' after his performance against Orlando Sunday. Philadelphia like the Hawks are 2-0 on the season and will be bringing a pair of former Atlanta teammates in All-star Al Horford and Mike Scott. Meanwhile, the 76ers erased an 13-point Piston lead Saturday night with Joel Embiid sidelined. The Hawks had great success against the Sixers last season winning three of four. They turn the trick again here. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
10-27-19 | Packers v. Chiefs +5.5 | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 6 m | Show |
Green Bay at Kansas City 8:20 ET Chiefs (+) over Packers- Okay, no Mahomes, so now what? So, now the Chiefs are expected to play defense to make up for the MLP's absence. I last impression I have of the Chiefs is them shutting down the hapless Broncos 30-6 last Thursday which really doesn't say that much. But, it was still an impressive performance as they did dominate. I am surprised that the Packers are this big a favorite on the road as Matt Moore is getting very little regard. Still, the Chiefs have the No. 3 offense and plenty of other explosive weapons. Take KANSAS CITY! |
|||||||
10-27-19 | Raiders +7 v. Texans | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 16 h 52 m | Show | |
Oakland at Houston 4:25 ET Raiders (+) over Texans- Okay, so Oakland is on an endless road trip which has taken them to far corners of the globe (London at least) and they still long to see that warm California sun (does it shine in Oakland?). Meanwhile, Houston continues to do their thing and blow games because of a weakness in coaching, the talent is there but...alas. Now, the Raiders are w work in progress and being on the road where they are forced to be together can be a great learning and bonding experience. It is how many MLB teams get it together, they are forced! Take the RAIDERS! |

10-27-19 | Browns +11.5 v. Patriots | 13-27 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 48 m | Show | |
Cleveland at New England 4:25 ET Browns (+) over Patriots- I'm really happy that 'we' pulled the tigger with the Patriots last week mopping up the Jets 33-0 and I keep wonder is there ever a time when they are a go-against. Cleveland started the season the 'darlings' of the media and now they finding it difficult to mention anything good or positive. The Browns, so brash and cocky are 2-4 and ready to fall into the Abyss if the don't turn it around soon. The question can they and can the measure up tp New England Brady and Mayfield and all. They are just 2-5 ATS at New England but they are 8-1 ATS following a loss. Take the BROWNS! |

10-27-19 | Panthers v. 49ers -4 | 13-51 | Win | 100 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
Carolina at San Francisco 4:05 ET 49ers (-) over Panthers- This is a 'late' posting as being in this business one becomes aware of 'dealings' in front of and behind the counter. I could give you a bunch of stats and trends but I don't have time for that as I want to get this winner out there. Kylie Allen is 4-0 as a starter and that comes to an end today. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

10-27-19 | Warriors v. Thunder +1.5 | Top | 92-120 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
Golden State at Oklahoma City 3:30 ET Thunder (+) over Warriors- I don't know if you saw it, I did. I watched the Warriors opening game a home loss to the LA Clippers 141-122 and what I learned is that Golden State's run of making it to five straight NBA Finals in done. OKC is 0-2 and no longer have Russell Westbrook or Paul George and without their firepower they dropped a 97-85 decision at home against the lowly Wizards. Playing at home helps where the Thunder are 5-1 ATS after a home loss while the Warriors are 0-7 ATS against teams with losing records. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

10-27-19 | Broncos +5.5 v. Colts | 13-15 | Win | 100 | 13 h 51 m | Show | |
Denver at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Broncos (+) over Colts- This game should have horses running up and down the field as the Colts and Broncos fit the bill. Indianapolis moved solidly into first place after taking down Kansas City and Houston in the past two weeks. Without Andrew Luck the Colts have been one of the better 'plays' going 4-1-1 ATS while struggling Denver is 2-5 SU and 3-4 ATS. The Broncos are 29th in scoring at just 16 points per game and have never really play well at Indy going 1-6 ATS in the last seven but that was Luck-ago! Take DENVER! |

10-27-19 | Chargers v. Bears -3.5 | 17-16 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
L.A. Chargers at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (-) over Chargers- Neither of these two clubs look too hot so far and a loss here would only help burry an already struggling team which ever it is. At 2-5 Los Angeles has already lost more regular season gamest than they did all of last season, while the Bears are looking to 'move-up' in the draft to get a quarterback. Chicago's ground game in virtually non-existent ranking 28th and with an inept passing attack they have little offense to speak off. But, this is spot for need. The Chargers were never together this year with Gordon's holdout and can't find whatever it is they had 'last year.' The Bears are 4-0 in the series at home. Take CHICAGO! |

10-26-19 | San Diego State v. UNLV +12.5 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 23 h 20 m | Show | |
San Diego State at U.N.L.V. 10:30 ET Rebels (+) over Aztecs- How sick and I going to be watching these pitiful Rebels take the field knowing that if Vegas is fixed 'we' will need this. Honest, there is no way UNLV can compete here unless they get help from 'Above' or with the 'other' people on the field. Even in Las Vegas the sports books have reported less than a handful of tickets on the Rebels and they opened at 10.5 and expect the number to reach 13 before games time. Wait for this Bail-Out' winner as long as you can and expect a 'miracle'...take UNLV! |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Pacers v. Cavs +5.5 | 99-110 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Indiana at Cleveland 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Pacers- Cleveland is far removed from their LeBron days and have brought in John Beilein formerly of Michigan to serve as head coach and he inherited veterans Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson and future start Collin Sexton. Indiana has make huge changes adding T.J. Warren, Malcolm Brogdon and Jeremy Lamb none of which can pick up the void created with Oladipo's injury. Take CAVALIERS! |

10-26-19 | Notre Dame v. Michigan +1 | Top | 14-45 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
Notre Dame at Michigan 7:30 ET Wolverines (+) over Fighting Irish- I remember watching this matchup last year sitting with friends at my favorite place having faded Michigan as the rest of the free world and some of the oppressed bet on the Wolverines. Notre Dame of course won easy, rushed out to a quick 14-0 and then 21-3 leads before the half. The Irish won easy over the Wolverines and everyone started to sour on Jim Harbaugh who is 1-12 against Top-10 teams. Notre dame has lost seven of their last eight visits to Ann Arbor where the Wolverines have won their last 12. Now, the same people that had Michigan last season and lost all have Notre Dame. Take MICHIGAN! |

10-26-19 | Celtics v. Knicks +6 | 118-95 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Boston at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Celtics- New York as expected is 0-2 to start the season but they are undefeated (2-0) ATS and will play their home opener tonight against the fading Celtics. The Knicks blew fourth quarter leads in both of their losses to San Antonio and Brooklyn. Boston opened at Philadelphia and show some shortcomings but managed to take down the Raptors 112-106 in their home openers last night. This is the first back-to-back games on the season for the Celtics and it will show. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
10-26-19 | 76ers v. Pistons +4.5 | Top | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over 76ers- This should end up a battle of 'big men' as the 76ers bring not only Joel Embiid to the fore court but he now has Al Horford for support. The Pistons will counter with Andre Drummond who can be dominating against lesser centers. Detroit opened the season with back-to-back games winning at Indiana and then losing at home. Although, the Sixers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight meetings and 0-6 ATS in their last six home games (dating back to last year obviously) they will come up big here. Take the PISTONS! |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Penn State v. Michigan State +5.5 | Top | 28-7 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 52 m | Show |
Penn State at Michigan State 3:30 ET Spartans (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State jumped on Michigan last week and then had to hang on needing a Wolverine end zone dropped pass tp seal the win. The Lions were out-gained by 134 yards and had the ball just 22 minutes on offense. That plays into Michigan State's hands as their thing is defense although they have struggled the past two weeks against Ohio State and Wisconsin. The Spartans have won five of the past six meetings and always seem to 'get-up' for Penn State. Vegas has been 'hit' hard by the 'Sharps' with the 'smart' money coming on the Spartans. I agree with them...take MICHIGAN STATE! |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Texas v. TCU +1.5 | Top | 27-37 | Win | 100 | 17 h 46 m | Show |
Texas at TCU 3:30 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- Does this 'line' look right to you? It doesn't to me. Here's No. 15 Texas who totaled 638 yards against Kansas last week led by quarterback Sam Ehlinger who had 399 yards passing and four touchdowns. TCU club that has dropped their last two and doesn't appear at 3-3 to be of the same caliber of recent seasons has to rely on their defense which have allowed a national-low 76 first downs. The Longhorns won last year's battle 31-16 but had lost the previous four meetings with the Frogs going 4-1 ATS. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Auburn +11 v. LSU | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
Auburn at L.S. U. 3:30 ET Aub. Tigers (+) over LSU Tigers- This is the SEC showcase game of the day with No. 2 LSU averaging over 50 points per game and No. 9 Auburn's formidable offensive and defensive lines. In a nutshell what will be a 'must' if Auburn is to have any chance is to pressure Joe Burrow into hurried throws. Auburn responded after getting beat by Florida (Megabucks winner) by crushing Arkansas 51-10 on the road. Bo Nix will have to run rather than throw...take AUBURN! |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Virginia v. Louisville +3.5 | 21-28 | Win | 100 | 16 h 3 m | Show | |
Virginia at Louisville 3:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Cavaliers- I love this spot for the Cardinals coming off of a loss against Clemson and need a game where they have a chance. After opening the season with four wins and then dropping their next two Virginia responds in a big way pounding Duke 48-14 last Saturday. The Cavaliers totally shutdown Louisville last year winning 27-3 while allowing just 214 yards their season low. The Cardinals were held to their season low last week against Clemson and will bounce back against a team that is 5-25 in ACC road games. Take LOUISVILLE! |

10-25-19 | Blazers v. Kings +2.5 | 122-112 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
Portland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- Portland went down in their home opener for the first time in 19 years when the Nuggets took them down 108-100. Sacramento was expected to move up the NBA ladder this season with all their young talent developing into stars. Now, after their first game at Phoenix the Kings get the news that Marvin Bagley III suffered a broken right thumb and will be out for at least four weeks and that has been coupled with Buddy Hield (left ankle) and De'Aaron Fox (left ankle) at not at full strength. Both say that they will play and are ready for their home opener. Take SACRAMENTO! |

10-25-19 | USC v. Colorado +12 | 35-31 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
USC at Colorado 9:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Trojans- This matchup between USC and Colorado has been a one sided series with the Trojans winning all 13 meetings including all eight meeting since the Buffs entered the Pac-12. Neither of these clubs have having banner seasons as USC has been pounded with key injuries and Colorado at times has been just terrible. The Buffaloes have lost their last three surrendering 41.45 and 35 points while scoring just one touchdown in their last two games. The Trojans really haven't done anything to distinguish themselves and the home team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take COLORADO! |
|||||||
10-24-19 | Clippers v. Warriors +2 | 141-122 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers and Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Clippers- Huge roster changes on these two clubs have taken place since these combatants last saw each other in the 2019 NBA playoffs. Golden State of course will be without superstars Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson along with former Finals MVP Andre Iguodada but, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green return. The Clippers as we are all aware have added Kawhi Leonard and Paul George who is not active as of yet. LA is coming off of there opening night win over their inter-city rival Lakers and won't be taken for granted here. Take GOLDEN STATE! |
|||||||
10-24-19 | Redskins +17 v. Vikings | 9-19 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Washington at Minnesota 8:20 ET Redskins (+) over Vikings- How dreadful the NFL has become that we have so many favorites of two touchdown or more and as the competition level sinks. Washington (1-6) has one victory this season over winless Miami and have managed to get just their second 'cover' when getting shutout by San Francisco last Sunday. Minnesota has reeled off three straight wins and 'covers' since Kirk Cousins apologized for his poor play. These two clubs have virtually exchanged quarterbacks as Redskins start Case Keenum who was 11-3 as a Vikings started before Cousins who was drafted and played for Washington took over. Not to go crazy but...take REDSKINS! |
|||||||
10-24-19 | SMU v. Houston +14 | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
SMU at Houston 7:30 ET Cougars (+) over Mustangs- Hey, do you remember when the Mustangs ran the ball with the 'Pony Express' as then coach Ron Meyer had Eric Dickerson and Craig James leading SMU to 10 straight wins to open the season back in 1982. Well, I do but this group of Mustangs throw the ball with quarterback Shane Buechele who threw for 457 yards and six touchdowns against Temple last week. Houston started slow and lost their starting QB D' Eriq King and receiver Keith Corbin decided to red-shirt the rest of the season. The Cougars have won 2-of-3 since their departure and will keep this one close to the number. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
10-23-19 | Nuggets +1 v. Blazers | 108-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
Denver at Portland 10:05 ET Nuggets (+) over Trailblazers- Can a team be thinking of revenge in the season's opening game because if so the Nuggets have some incentive. Portland ended Denver's quest for the NBA title last season by taking them down 100-96 in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. Portland of course will be without center Jusuf Nurkic out with a broken leg and he has been replaced for now by Hassan Whiteside. The Nuggets have won six of the last regular season meetings and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Portland. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
10-23-19 | Kings v. Suns +2 | 95-124 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Phoenix 10:00 ET Suns (+) over Kings- Last season the Kings began to make a move to respectability last season winning 39 games while Phoenix continued their stay in the basement trailing their closest rival in the West by 14 games. Sacramento hired Luke Walton as head coach while Phoenix hired Monty Williams to lead the likes of Devin Booker, Ricky Rubio and Deandre Ayton. I would have expected the Kings to be stronger favorites as this opening 'line' is lower than any game between these two in three years and I believe it's telling. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
10-23-19 | Knicks +10 v. Spurs | 111-120 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
New York at San Antonio 8:30 ET Knicks (+) over Spurs- New York was the worst team in the NBA last season winning just 17 games and were a total failure in the off-season free agent market missing out on their goals of signing Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant or Kawhi Leonard. San Antonio has made the playoffs 22 straight seasons while the Knicks have been there just twice in the last 20 years. An underlying thread to this game is the Marcus Morris who backed out of a contract with the Spurs and chose the Knicks (go figure) and left San Antonio hanging. There is so little respect for the young Knicks that they have so much to prove and will come out with a huge effort. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
10-22-19 | Lakers v. Clippers +4 | 102-112 | Win | 100 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at L.A. Clippers 10:35 ET Clippers (+) over Lakers- Wow, what a way to start the season! Both these clubs made dramatic moves in the off season with Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard joining the Clippers and Anthony Davis pairing up with the Lakers and LeBron James with the Lakers. To tell the truth (I always do!) I was surprised that the Lakers opened as the favorite after their performance last season taking the James injury taken into consideration and the media's off season adoration for the Clippers. Paul George won't make his debut for the Clippers until November while the Lakers will have Dwight Howard in the middle. That won't be enough here. Take CLIPPERS! |

10-21-19 | Patriots -9.5 v. Jets | Top | 33-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
New England at New York Jets 8:15 ET Patriots (-) over Jets- The last time these two met New England was a 20-point home favorite and won 30-14 for the non-cover victory. At that time the Jets were starting 3rd string quarterback Luke Falk who since has been released and tonight they will have Sam Darnold back for the second straight week after missing three games because of the 'Kissing Disease.' His counterpart Tom Brady has eight TD passes and no interceptions in the last three meetings against the Jets but they haven't fared well against the points at New York. The Pats are 1-5 ATS in their last six visits to Gotham and the Jets are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine at home games against teams with winning road records. But there is one factor that I have to mention...the Jets have been out-gained in EVERY game. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

10-20-19 | Eagles v. Cowboys -2.5 | 10-37 | Win | 100 | 25 h 10 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Dallas 8:20 ET Cowboys (-) over Eagles- Four weeks ago after having defeated three of the league's weakest and winless teams (Giants, Redskins and Dolphins) and Dak Prescott was considered the 'best Cowboys quarterback ever. Then reality set in as the Cowboys came back to earth when they had to play real football teams and have now dropped three in-a-row. They return home as the favorite against the Eagles and the favorite is 6-1 in the last seven meetings, also Dallas is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 against the NFC East. The need it bad...take DALLAS! |
|||||||
10-20-19 | Saints v. Bears -4 | 36-25 | Loss | -108 | 22 h 32 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Chicago 4:25 ET Bears (-) over Saints- New Orleans behind replacement Teddy Bridgewater has reeled off four straight wins while averaging just 218 yards passing and allowing the defense to be the major factor in their wins surrendering just 40 points in three games. The Saints have won four straight in this series but here we have the Bears favored with one of the worst rated quarterbacks in the NFL returning to action as Mitch Trubisky comes back from a dislocated shoulder. He averages just 230 yards passing but has a defense led by Khalil Mack has 10 sacks in nine home games as Chicago's defense take over with the Saints Alvin Kamara sidelined. Take Da' BEARS! |

10-20-19 | Cardinals +3.5 v. Giants | Top | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show |
Arizona at New York Giants 1:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Giants- Doesn't this 'price' look cheap to you...it does to me. Both clubs are starting rookie quarterbacks with Daniel Jones replacing Eli Manning for New York and Kyler Murray the No. 1 overall draft pick leading Arizona to a 2-3-1 record whereas New York is 2-2 behind Jones. The Giants are expecting to return of both running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Evan Engram. The Cardinals have won their last two and unlike New York are scoring points. Jones is just at 52% completions and the Jints have lost their last two meetings against Arizona. Take CARDINALS! |

10-20-19 | Rams v. Falcons +3.5 | Top | 37-10 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 28 m | Show |
L.A. Rams at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Rams- After a 3-0 start the Rams have dropped their last three and were dismal on offense in last weeks loss to the 49ers. Atlanta has on the other hand been putrid this entire season as Dan Quinn as been searching to want-ads. The Falcons are 1-5 ATS despite have the No. 2 passing game in the NFL with Matt Ryan going 30-36 for 356 yards and four touchdowns in last weeks loss but leading the league in TD passes with 15. Atlanta has won four straight against the Rams and with LA's injury list growing they will struggle here as the Falcons fly high. Take ATLANTA! |

10-20-19 | 49ers v. Redskins +10.5 | 9-0 | Win | 100 | 18 h 19 m | Show | |
San Francisco at Washington- Redskins (+) over 49ers- There is no question San Francisco in making their presence felt especially after they way the dominated last season's NFC's Super Bowl representative last February. Washington posted their first win of the season last week against the hapless Dolphins and are still looking for their first home win and are 0-3 both straight-up and ATS as hosts. Although the road team is 4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings this is the first time that the visitor has been favored in six years. Expect a let down from the Niners while the Redskins scrap for every morsel. Take WASHINGTON! |

10-20-19 | Vikings v. Lions +2.5 | 42-30 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Detroit 1:00 ET Lions (+) over Vikings- I must admit that the Lions are a lot better than I expected but they still always seem to manage to blow second half leads. Officials calls did them in against Green Bay Monday night as they once again let another win slip threw their fingers. Detroit's Matt Stafford needs just 87 yards passing to become the faster player to 40,000 yards in just 147 games although most of them have been losses. Although the Viking have won the last three meetings they are a different squad on the road. Take DETROIT! |

Boise State at B.Y.U. 10:15 ET Cougars (+) over Broncos- Boise State is off of a 59-37 beatdown of Hawaii but lost starting quarterback Hank Bachmeier to a hip injury and now Sophomore Chase Cord is slated to make his first career start. BYU has dropped three straight and are claiming that they haven't quit on the season and the Broncos are the perfect opponent. This non-conference game is a step down for the Broncos who are just 2-5 in their last seven against Independents while BYU is 6-1 ATS versus the Mountain West and 9-3 ATS following a straight up loss. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |

10-19-19 | Texas A&M v. Ole Miss +6 | 24-17 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 11 m | Show | |
Texas A&M at Mississippi 3:30 ET Rebels (+) over Aggies- Texas A&M has played one of the toughest schedules to start the season that I have seen in years. They have three losses to top ranked teams Clemson, Auburn and Alabama and also met with Alabama and got the cover (+37.5) in a 59-31 loss. The Aggies defense is a bit tougher especially when considering their level of competition but Mississippi has put together an offense that averages over 200 yards both on the ground and threw the air. The Rebels are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and A&M is 0-4 ATS in their last four conference games. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

10-19-19 | Army v. Georgia State +5 | 21-28 | Win | 100 | 22 h 2 m | Show | |
Army at Georgia State 7:00 ET Panthers (+) over Black Knights- A pair of clubs that prefer to run the ball go at it in Atlanta where Georgia State will host Army. There appears to be kinks in the Knights armor as they will be hard pressed to match the last two season's standard failing to 'cover' in their last three. Army was held to a season's low 137 yards rushing at Western Kentucky last week while the Panthers ran for 350 against Coastal Carolina and have 690 on the ground the past two weeks. Take GEORGIA STATE! |
|||||||
10-19-19 | Arizona State v. Utah -13 | Top | 3-21 | Win | 100 | 22 h 4 m | Show |
Arizona State at Utah 6:00 ET Utes (-) over Sun Devils- Doesn't this line appear to be a little on the high side? It does to me! These clubs have Pac-12 mirror record of each other both at 5-1 straight up and 2-1 in conference play. Arizona State behind freshman quarterback Jayden Daniels average 403 yards on offense including 268 through the air but will be opposed by Tyler Huntley who is 3rd nationally for completion percentage (.756) and 5th on passing efficiency (187.6). Utes tailback Zack Moss is back after getting an injured shoulder on September 20 and needs just 55 yards to become Utah's all-time rushing leader. Utah ranks 25th in total offense and 10th defense. They are one of only six teams in that category. Take UTAH! |

10-19-19 | LSU v. Mississippi State +18 | 36-13 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 48 m | Show | |
L.S. U. at Mississippi State 3:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- This has been one of the most lopsided series in the SEC with LSU winning 17 of the last 19 straight-up. Mississippi has been disappointing to date (3-3, 1-2) going 2-4 ATS while not even being competitive against Auburn and losing to Tennessee and Kentucky as favorites. Certainly not favorites here the Bulldogs will have to deal on defense with the FBS No. 1 rated quarterback in Joe Barrow who has a 218 passing efficiency. With Auburn up next the Tigers might get caught looking ahead, especially of they take an early lead. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

10-18-19 | Pittsburgh v. Syracuse +3.5 | 27-20 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Syracuse 7:00 ET Orange (+) over Panthers- Pittsburgh has shown that they can play with the best as their 17-10 loss to Penn State put a legitimate scare into the Lions and they have won three straight since that defeat. The Orange are plotting along at 3-3 SU and just 1-4 ATS in their last five. This series has been a bit one sided since 2002 with Pittsburgh winning 14 of the last 17 meetings straight-up but the home team is 11-5 with the hosts winning the last three meetings. The dog is 3-0-1 Ats in the last four meetings as well. Take SYRACUSE! |

10-17-19 | UCLA +4 v. Stanford | 34-16 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
UCLA at Stanford 9:00 ET Bruins (+) over Cardinal- There is something gong on here and I don't believe that it is completely Kosher. Not many teams have looked worse this season than the Bruins who have won and 'covered' just one of six games and have lost their last 11 against Stanford. The Cardinal have been no prize either going 1-4 ATS in their last five. UCLA under Chip Kelly was supposed to be one of the nation's leaders in offense and yet they are at the bottom in passing (341) and total defense (503) yards per game. What stuns me here is that the line is so low considering the 'number's I just reeled off and it may be because the Cardinal just aren't that good this season. Take UCLA! |

10-17-19 | Chiefs v. Broncos +3.5 | 30-6 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 52 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Denver 8:20 ET Broncos (+) over Chiefs- Two games ago both of these clubs had a zero in their win/loss records with Kansas City being 4-0 and the Broncos were 0-4. The ebb and flow of the football season started three weeks ago with the Chiefs falling to Indy and Houston at home while Denver was posting a pair of victories at LA Chargers and shutout Tennessee last week at home. The 'Wild Horses' are bucking with confidence...Take BRONCOS! |
|||||||
10-14-19 | Lions +4 v. Packers | 22-23 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Detroit at Green Bay 8:15 ET Lions (+) over Packers- Green Bay looks like a totally different team this season as opposed to last year as their play has a better tempo this season. Detroit (2-1-1) has been a shock to some as having only lost to Kansas City in four games thus far this season. The Lions have defeated the Packers four straight times and have won three of the last four in Green Bay including a 31-0 win to close the 2018 season. Although the favorite has dominated this series going 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings...Take DETROIT! |

10-13-19 | Cowboys v. Jets +7.5 | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 21 h 48 m | Show | |
Dallas at New York Jets 4:25 ET Jets (+) over Cowboys- Okay, Sam Darnold is back after his courageous right against mono and the Jets are happy to have him back no matter how mediocre he is because his replacements are putrid. Dallas took on three of the weakest clubs in the NFL defeating the Giants, Redskins and Dolphins before having to pay real football against the Saints and Packers and loss them both as Dak Prescott keeps falling short. New York had a team 'bonding' meeting and all is well according to Le'Veon Bell who averages 2.9 yards per rushing attempt. Surprise...it works. Take the J-E-T-S! |

10-13-19 | Falcons v. Cardinals +2.5 | 33-34 | Win | 100 | 20 h 4 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Arizona 4:05 ET Cardinals (+) over Falcons- These two birds flying in opposite direction and the Cardinals are flying high with their number one pick Tyler Murray leading the way while the Falcons have been grounded and with a losers mentality that they can not overcome. Blame it on that Super Bowl loss and the coaching of Dan Quinn. Fade Atlanta whenever you can like right here. Take ARIZONA! |

10-13-19 | Seahawks v. Browns +1.5 | Top | 32-28 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 27 m | Show |
Seattle at Cleveland 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Seahawks- We all saw it...the Browns totally dominated by the 49ers 31-3 with Cleveland getting out-gained by 266 yards and a 8-22-and 100 yards performance out of Baker Mayfield. Meanwhile it's the same-old, same-old with Seattle winning the close ones especially on the road where they are 2-0 both SU and ATS this season winning 3-of-4 by two or less points. That plays well into this week match-up where the Browns are 0-2 both SU and ATS at home this season, are they that bad...I don't think so. At home where hosts are 3-0-2 in the last five meetings the Browns get a much needed win. Take CLEVELAND! |

10-13-19 | Eagles v. Vikings -3 | 20-38 | Win | 100 | 17 h 6 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Minnesota 1:00 ET Vikings (-) over Eagles- Both clubs at 3-2 are expected to make it into the playoffs with the edge according to oddsmakers and the general public is that Philadelphia is a little better than the Vikings. The Eagles are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings but, Minnesota is home here where they are 38-16-1 ATS in their last 55 as hosts. The Eagles average just 339 yards on offense and the Vikings allow just 292.4 Yards per contest. Take MINNESOTA! |

10-12-19 | Florida v. LSU -13.5 | 28-42 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
Florida at L.S.U. 8:00 ET Tigers (-) over Gators- After being 'Graced' as 'my' SEC Game of the Year the Gators (+) won 24-13 OUTRIGHT over Auburn enter Louisiana on cloud nine with the pressure off. The are so grateful that they were worthy of my Game of the Year winner that they can never reach the mental state that they possessed last week (letdown). The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. This 'price' is ridiculous and if it is a 'trap' I have fallen for it. Lay it with the Tigers they should romp...Take LSU! |

10-12-19 | USC +11 v. Notre Dame | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 23 h 32 m | Show | |
USC at Notre Dame 7:30 ET Trojans (+) over Fighting Irish- Notre Dame knows that they have to win impressively the rest of the way out to have any chance at the FBS title. The home team has been dominate going 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings with the favorite 6-1 ATS in the last seven. Southern California has to endure the hardship of losing both their No.1 and No.2 starting quarterbacks and were down to Matt Fink who stunk at Washington and freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis is expected to return after missing two weeks with a concussion. In order to get the money here these teams never to reverse their turnover trends where the Irish are +10 and USC is -7. Otherwise it could get ugly! Take the TROJANS! |

10-12-19 | Penn State v. Iowa +3.5 | Top | 17-12 | Loss | -109 | 22 h 10 m | Show |
Penn State at Iowa 7:30 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Nittany Lions- At the beginning of the week there was no question that I wanted Iowa here after their horrid performance in their 10-3 loss to Michigan on National TV. The problem is that the 'price' has shrunk before of 'Sharp action' on the Hawkeyes and it has lost some value. The Hawkeyes had a total of minus-10 yards against the Wolverines last week as QB Nate Stanley had his worst career game getting sacked eight times and throwing three interceptions. Penn State is averaging 500 yards per game while Iowa after last weeks performance is at just 255 yards per game. It's no matter the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take IOWA! |

10-12-19 | Alabama v. Texas A&M +17.5 | Top | 47-28 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 56 m | Show |
Alabama at Texas A&M 3:30 ET Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- This is Alabama's 6th game of the year and they have been favored in every one by -33.5,-54.5, -25-5, -36.5, and -37.5 and they have made good twice but only once in their last four contests. It seems that the oddsmakers are giving the Aggies a 'puncher's chance' with the line dipping to 16.5 at one point. For those that are Tide 'backers' this price might appear to be a gift. But, beware things are not always what they seem. Alabama averages 555 yards per game and the Aggies just 427 but are better on defense allowing 300 yards per games while the Crimson are allowing 326 per contest and have surrendered more than 450 yards twice against Mississippi and South Carolina. This will play closer than most believe. Take TEXAS A&M! |

10-12-19 | Michigan State +10.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 0-38 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 41 m | Show |
Michigan State at Wisconsin 3:30 ET Spartans (+) over Badgers- They may not be ranked in the Top-5 but No. 8 Wisconsin to me has been the most impressive of all. The Badgers are allowing just 182 total yards per game and have surrendered only 29 points (5.8 ave per game) on the year. But, probably the most impressive of all is the they have not trailed at anytime this season. Michigan State we know has been built on defense for years and only give up 300 total yards per game. The Spartans had 'covered' four straight in the series until last year's 30-6 home beatdown. Note that the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

10-09-19 | Appalachian State v. UL-Lafayette +1 | Top | 17-7 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
Appalachian State at UL Lafayette 8:00 ET Ragin' Cajuns over Mountaineers- Both of these clubs enter this fray on four game winning streaks with the Cajun's have lost their opener to Mississippi State 38-28 (+19) and are 5-0 ATS. Appalachian State has posted a road victory over North Carolina and most likely will be the public's choice here. But, Lafayette averages 540 yards offensively including a balanced attack of 314 yards rushing and 226 threw the air and are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take LAFAYETTE! |

10-07-19 | Browns v. 49ers -4.5 | 3-31 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Cleveland at San Francisco 8:15 ET 49ers (-) over Browns- The past three seasons these two clubs have been the NFL's biggest losers and now they both are full of optimism while the rest of the league looks at them with skepticism. San Francisco is 3-0 and have had an extra week to prepare after taking down the Steelers 24-20 two weeks ago. Cleveland at 2-2 is off of a 40-25 win at Baltimore but there are internal struggles that play out on the field at time. The Browns huge ego's take another hit tonight. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

10-06-19 | Colts +12.5 v. Chiefs | 19-13 | Win | 100 | 21 h 39 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Kansas City 8:20 ET Colts (+) over Chiefs- What you see is what you get as Patrick Mahomes continues his trek through NFL defenses and Kansas City remains undefeated (4-0). The Chiefs average 34.8 points with Mahomes leading the way with 69.8%, 10 TD's with zero interceptions. On the other side the Colts have Jacoby Brissett who settled into the quarterbacking position with ease. This one has the earmarks of a high scoring game on Sunday night to showcase the skills of these players in 'Prime-time' but that goes for both sides. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

10-06-19 | Packers v. Cowboys -3 | 34-24 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Dallas 4:25 ET Cowboys (-) over Packers- Dallas went from being an offensive juggernaut could manage just 15 first downs and only one touchdown last time out at New Orleans. Green Bay meanwhile was exposed in their home loss a week ago Thursday night by the Eagles and have had 11 days to get ready for this one in Dallas. The Cowboys had just 45 yards rushing last week but will face the NFL's 26th ranked rushing defense here and Ezekiel Elliott (8 yards rushing) will revert back to his All-pro form along with Dak Prescott. Packers will be without top receiver Davante Adams. Take DALLAS! |

10-06-19 | Broncos +6 v. Chargers | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
Denver at L.A. Chargers 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Chargers- It has not been pretty for Denver as they are 0-4 for the first time in 20 years as they dropped their second 2-point loss of the season late week to Jacksonville. Los Angeles has been a bit underachieving with a pair of losses and just 1 1-2-1 ATS record. Melvin Gordon will return this week but I don't expect him to be real effective until he gets a game or two under his belt. These two split their season series last year but the broncos seem to have the Chargers number winning 12 of the last 16 meetings. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
10-06-19 | Bears v. Raiders +6 | Top | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
Chicago vs. Oakland (London) 1:00 ET Raiders (+) over Bears- Ugly upon ugly is the best way to describe both these clubs. This game in London is just part of the trek that will have the Raiders on the road until the first weekend in November a length of six weeks. I'm sure that the media will make a big deal of Chicago's Khalil Mack getting to play against his former club for the first time since being traded last September. The Bears lost QB Mitch Trubiskey to a shoulder injury and that can only help the Bears tame offense with Chase Daniels now leading the charge. Oakland behind John Gruden will keep this close enough to possible stealing a win at the end. Take the RAIDERS! |

10-06-19 | Vikings v. Giants +6 | 28-10 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
Minnesota at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Vikings- After posting the Redskins against New York last week I hope that I don't get caught in the 'switches' so to speak. Playing 'against' Minnesota last week kept 'us' in the win column and I first thought I would be backing them and fading the Giants here but...that's too easy. The Daniel Jones era is underway in New York and his teammates have picked up their level of play. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
10-05-19 | San Diego State v. Colorado State +8 | 24-10 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
San Diego State at Colorado State 10:00 ET Rams (+) over Aztecs- Colorado State has to be the best 1-4 team in the nation averaging 32.4 points per contests and 501 yards per game ranking them No.16th in the nation. The Aztecs average just 345 totals yards and less than 200 in the air. A few trends to justify my position is that the underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and the Rams are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take COLORADO STATE! |
|||||||
10-05-19 | Northwestern v. Nebraska -7 | 10-13 | Loss | -113 | 18 h 44 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Nebraska 3:30 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Wildcats- Big problems for both these clubs as Northwestern can't move the ball and Nebraska can't stop the ball. Quarterback issues are a thorn in the Wildcats as they are last in conference scoring with just 15.5 points per and have one QB out with injury and the other hobbled. Nebraska's Adrian Martinez has averaged 305 yards of offense but was held to 128 total against Ohio State and should see more day-light than last week. With this price as high as it is I expect the Cornhuskers to rebound from their humiliating 48-7 loss to the Buckeyes. The favorite is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |
|||||||
10-05-19 | North Carolina v. Georgia Tech +10.5 | 38-22 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Georgia Tech 7:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Tar Heels- There is no doubt about the improvement that Mack Brown has brought to North Carolina but five straight one possession games will take it's toll. Georgia Tech has a 'new' offense and they are last in the FBS in scoring (13.5 PPG) and have lost Citadel and have been out-gained by all four opponents while going 0-4 ATS. The one thing that they do well is play the Tar Heels tough going 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings including 4-1 ATS in their last meets as hosts. It's a 'numbers' game. Take GEORGIA TECH! |
|||||||
10-05-19 | Auburn v. Florida +3 | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 22 h 44 m | Show | |
Auburn at Florida 3:30 ET Gators (+) over Tigers- It's hard to believe that these two 5-0 SEC teams have not played each other in eight years and that they have only played twice in 12 years. This week's matchup has Auburn favored in 'The Swamp' and that indeed is rare as Florida has been favored in each of the 1- previous meetings. The Tigers have been the more impressive of the two and are off of a 56-23 beatdown of Mississippi State last week and own wins over then No. 13 Oregon and at No. 21 Texas A&M. But, this week the Tigers are the target and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Gators may be better off offensively with Franks down as his inconsistency has been their weakness, he's gone...take FLORIDA! |

10-05-19 | Texas v. West Virginia +10.5 | 42-31 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 29 m | Show | |
Texas at West Virginia 3:30 ET Mountaineers (+) over Longhorns- Both clubs enter this contest 3-1 but there is a world of difference as to how they are perceived. West Virginia has managed wins against NC State and Kansas the last two times out after a beatdown by Missouri while Texas has bounced back with a pair of wins after a heartbreaking loss to LSU. The Longhorns are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after a straight-up win and the Mountaineers are not only 4-0 ATS after a bye week but they are 3-0-2 ATS in their last five at home. Add they they 'Mountain Men' are 11-4-2 ATS as a underdog under coach Brown. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |
