10-04-19 | Central Florida v. Cincinnati +4 | Top | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 18 h 29 m | Show |
Central Florida and Cincinnati 8:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Knights- No. 18 Central Florida has won 19 straight AAC contests but should be put to the challenge Friday night against a powerful Bearcats squad that put up 525 yards last week improving to 3-1 with their lone loss to Ohio State. The Knights rebounded from their 35-34 loss at Pittsburgh by stomping hapless Connecticut 56-21. This is a spot Cincinnati has let me down in the past but I believe that they have moved passed that and I forgive them. Take the BEARCATS! |

09-30-19 | Bengals +3.5 v. Steelers | Top | 3-27 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 8:15 ET Bengals (+) over Steelers- Most likely one of these team will be 0-4 before the end of the night and it would seem more than likely it would be the Bengals. Pittsburgh has dominated this series for decades and is 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings as hosts to Cincinnati. The Bengals seem to have turned have things around now that Marvin Lewis is gone from the coaching ranks although they have yet to win a game. Mason Rudolph who passed for a meager 174 yards in Pittsburgh's loss at the Niners last week will be pitted against the Bengals Andy Dalton who is second in passing yards (979) entering the week. The fact is that the Steelers surrender 442. yards per game and produce only 269 yards per game on offense. Take CINCINNATI! |
|||||||
09-29-19 | Seahawks v. Cardinals +5.5 | 27-10 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
Seattle at Arizona 4:05 ET Cardinals (+) over Seahawks- As expected the 'public' is all over the Seahawks filing to believe that they will lose two-in-row (especially to the league worst team). Arizona's quarterback Kyle Murray and Seattle's Russell Wilson have many similar traits including quick feet a strong arm speed and good judgement. The Cardinals are just 0-2-1 but are 2-1 ATS to date and are 4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings and they underdog is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take ARIZONA! |
|||||||
09-29-19 | Chiefs v. Lions +7.5 | Top | 34-30 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Kansas City at Detroit 1:00 ET Lions (+) over Chiefs- A pair of undefeated clubs clash in Detroit where the 2-0-1 Lions and 3-0 Chiefs meet with reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes who has passed for over 350 yards in his first three games without an interception. I have shouted as much as I could about what a horrible job coach Matt Patricia is doing as another failed Belichick disciple. But, not so fast as Matt Stafford is being to look like he can finally defeat a team with a winning record. Take KANSAS CITY! |
|||||||
09-29-19 | Patriots v. Bills +7.5 | 16-10 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show | |
New England at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (+) over Patriots- This is a battle of the 'old' versus the 'new.' The quarterback comparison at this point is all one way with 72 year-old Tom Brady leading the Patriots charge against second year hurler Josh Allen. New England has dominated this series to the tune of 14-3 ATS in their last 17 meetings including 4 fo their last five ATS. The Patriots have played three patsies and have yet to allow a rushing or passing touchdown. That all changed to day. Take BUFFALO! |
|||||||
09-29-19 | Redskins +3 v. Giants | 3-24 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
Washington at New York Giants 1:00 ET Redskins (+) over Giants- Okay, so the 'Danny-Boy Jones' era has begun in New York and it started with an 18-point 32-31 comeback win over Tampa Bay. Washington of course is winless (0-3) and have trouble even being competitive as they have lost eight of their last nine straight-up going 2-7 ATS. When it comes to this the Giants are 0-3-1 ATS at home last four while the Redskins are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games after a double-digit loss. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
09-28-19 | UNLV +9.5 v. Wyoming | 17-53 | Loss | -106 | 19 h 0 m | Show | |
UNLV at Wyoming 8:00 ET Rebels (+) over Cowboys- Wyoming opened the season with a huge upset 37-31 win over Missouri as a 16.5-point underdog while rushing for 300 yards. UNLV is once again in a position where their best player in 'out-of-position' as they have Armani Rogers at quarterback and granted I believable he will play on Sundays because of his speed and running ability but with him as a QB the whole unit falls short. The problem for the Cowboys is that they lost four starters to injuries including top running back Trey Smith last week and they are not that deep. Take the RUNNING REBELS! |
|||||||
09-28-19 | Ohio State v. Nebraska +17.5 | Top | 48-7 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 53 m | Show |
Ohio State at Nebraska 7:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Buckeyes- Oh...how could I, I mean, I had 'against' the Cornhuskers all lined up last week and failed to post Illinois who covers easy and now I come back ON Nebraska. Ohio State has been impressive averaging 53.5 points per game while allowing just nine per contest. Nebraska who was 0-3 against ranked opponents last season was almost caught in a look-ahead last week as they cams-from-behind in a 42-38 win as a two-touchdown favorite. Although the Buckeyes are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings the Cornhuskers are 6-1-1 in their last eight conference games. Take NEBRASKA! |
|||||||
09-28-19 | Mississippi State +10 v. Auburn | Top | 23-56 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 6 m | Show |
Mississippi State at Auburn 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- Auburn has emerged as an SEC power that must be reckoned with as their 4-0 both Su and ATS domination of opponents. The 3-1 Bulldogs are off of three straight home games including last weeks 28-13 win over Kentucky. The Tigers are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games and Mississippi State is 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and the under is 6-1 in the last seven as well and have the SEC's leading rusher in Kyle Hill. War Eagles Bo Nix has gotten more credit than he deserves...take BULLDOGS! |
|||||||
09-28-19 | SMU v. South Florida +7.5 | 48-21 | Loss | -108 | 20 h 2 m | Show | |
S.M.U. at South Florida 4:00 ET Bulls (+) over Mustangs- The Mustangs come into the their AAC opener 4-0 both SU and ATS and are off of a huge emotional 41-38 win over intra-city rival TCU. SMU has 15 rushing touchdowns to lead the country while South Florida has trouble moving the ball at all averaging under 300 total yard per games. The Mustangs aver 521 yards a including over 200 yards on the round but the Bulls defense in No. 1 in forced turnovers. Letdown for Mustangs...take SOUTH FLORIDA! |
|||||||
09-28-19 | Virginia +11 v. Notre Dame | 20-35 | Loss | -113 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
Virginia at Notre Dame 3:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Fighting Irish- The Irish were a great take as our Power Play winner against Georgia last week where they left it all on the field. Virginia meanwhile was in a look-ahead situation and almost got caught by 27-point underdog Old Dominion who led 17-0 before the Cavaliers staged a 2nd half comeback. After such a disappointing loss Notre Dame may have their mental edge dulled. This is a huge game for the 4-0 Cavaliers and they are 5-1 ATS against Independents. Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
09-27-19 | Arizona State v. California -4 | 24-17 | Loss | -101 | 4 h 44 m | Show | |
Arizona State at California 10:30 ET Golden Bears (-) over Sun Devils- Could California be emerging as a threat in the Pac-12 as it would seem with their 4-0 start? Defense has been the key for the Golden Bears as they have held 11 straight opponents to under 24 points or fewer. Although out-gained in three of their four wins the Bears have relied on a defense that held Washington to 19 points using pressure in the passing rush being the key to victory. Arizona State is 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 0-6 ATS on Fridays. Cal is 6-1 ATS in their last seven Pac-12 games. Plus the home team and the favorite are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take CALIFORNIA! |
|||||||
09-27-19 | Duke +3 v. Virginia Tech | 45-10 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Duke at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET Blue Devils (+) over Hokies- After opening game losses both Duke and Virginia Tech responded with a pair of victories. The Blue Devils fell 42-3 to Alabama in their opener but then posted impressive wins over NC A&T (45-13) and Middle Tenn (41-18) while the Hokies lost to Boston College (35-28) then took down Old Dominion (31-17) and Furman (24-17). VT has been favored in each of their games and has yet to cover (0-3 ATS) and they are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The Blue Devils on the rise going 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games including 4-0 ATS against teams with winning records. Take DUKE! |
|||||||
09-26-19 | Eagles +4.5 v. Packers | 34-27 | Win | 100 | 25 h 51 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Green Bay 8:20 ET Eagles (+) over Packers- It is just not a good look...the Eagles ground game and injury list. Green Bay under 'new' management are 3-0 and have the top passing defense. Philadelphia had to cancel a practice this week because of the number of sidelined players. The Eagles have trouble in the air allowing almost 300 yards per game and are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall and is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. The Packers are just 5-11-1 ATS against the NFC East and the home team is 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
09-26-19 | Navy v. Memphis -10.5 | 23-35 | Win | 100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Navy at Memphis 8:00 ET Tigers (-) over Midshipmen- Both clubs enter undefeated as the Navy (2-0) visits Memphis (3-0) for the Tigers AAC opener. The 'Middies' have run roughshod over weaklings Holy Cross and E. Carolina and now face for the first time a formidable opponent. Memphis defeated a part of patsies in San Antonio and southern but have had two weeks to prepare and have revenge on their minds. Navy had only three wins last season and one of them was a come-from-behind 21-21 victory over the Tigers. The Tigers showed what they can do against a FBS club dominating Mississippi in their opener. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
09-23-19 | Bears -5 v. Redskins | 31-15 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
Chicago at Washington 8:15 ET Redskins (+) over Bears- You have to go back to 18 years to 2001 to find the last time Chicago defeated Washington as the Redskins have won the last eight meetings straight-up. The Bears have yet to show any offense scoring just one touchdown in two games while losing to Green Bay and beating Denver on a fluke. Washington is projected as the worst team in the NFC and are 0-2 after losing to a pair of the leagues best clubs and Division foes Dallas and Philadelphia. But, the 'Sins are a horrid 2-15 in its last 17 MNF appearances as are even worse at home going 1-16 SU dating back to 1998. So, what do you want an inept offense run by Chicago's Mitchell Trubisky or the inept Redskins offense that averages 2.5 yards per run. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
09-22-19 | Rams v. Browns +3.5 | Top | 20-13 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 58 m | Show |
L.A. Rams at Cleveland 8:20 ET Browns (+) over Rams- The storyline of course in Baker Mayfield and his crew of underachievers (to date) is what to make of what we've seen so far. Weakness in the offensive and defense for the Browns but for the Rams it's a different story. It looks like Todd Gurley II is back but LA has fallen short of last years offensive pace (33 pts). This is a big game for Cleveland's 'Dog Pound' and they might bite! Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
09-22-19 | Texans v. Chargers -3 | 27-20 | Loss | -113 | 22 h 7 m | Show | |
Houston at L.A. Chargers 4:25 ET Chargers (-) over Texans- I just don't get this one. I mean from what I've seen the 'action' has been on the Texans and it has been steady...why? They are poorly coached and have no offensive line and rarely perform well in the clutch because of a lack of organization. San Diego looks to rebound from their shameful loss at Detroit and will have Rivers leading the way. The Chargers are 6-0 ATS in the last-6 meetings and they are 5-0 ATS after a SU loss. Houston is 2-9 ATS last-11 on grass! Take the CHARGERS! |
|||||||
09-22-19 | Saints +5 v. Seahawks | Top | 33-27 | Win | 100 | 22 h 57 m | Show |
New Orleans at Seattle 4:25 ET Saints (+) over Seahawks- New Orleans without question is my A-Play of the week even without Drew Brees. There is something about a good team that loses a key player that makes them bond and perform better as a unit. (see Brewers without Yelich) Now, understanding the QB position is a unique position but teams win championships not individuals. Seahawks 2-0 on road return home and disappoint. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
09-22-19 | Panthers +2.5 v. Cardinals | 38-20 | Win | 100 | 22 h 34 m | Show | |
Carolina at Arizona 4:05 ET Panthers (+) over Cardinals- Carolina's Cam Newton a great running back that revolutionize the QB philosophy might be done and has been ruled out here. But, any replacement will be an improvement from what we've gotten out of Cam the past three seasons. Arizona has been made a 'false' favorite here as the may have gotten better but just how much...not enough! Take CAROLINA! |
|||||||
09-22-19 | Bengals v. Bills -7 | 17-21 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 24 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Bills- So, now that Buffalo has opened with a pair of outright underdog wins many see them as a threat against the Pats...forget that! Both wins came in New York against two of the NFL's lowest bottom feeders and now the Bills have become the 'fav' of the week. The Bengals (0-2) have a new 'look' and are throwing the ball 75% of the time as Andy Dalton is 2nd in NFL passing yards with 729 and 4 TD's with 1 INT. Cincinnati has won four of last five meetings including the last two in Buffalo in 2013 and 2015. Cincinnati is 5-0 ATS in last-5 road games but just 4-9 ATS last-13 meetings. Take CINCINNATI! |
|||||||
09-21-19 | Notre Dame +15 v. Georgia | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 22 h 4 m | Show | |
Notre Dame at Georgia 8:00 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Bulldogs- I think we can find out more about Notre Dame than the Bulldogs as most just don't believe that the Irish are up to it physically. Two years ago in South Bend that wasn't the case as ND defeated the Bulldogs 20-19 and I'm sure the home side is thinking about revenge. Okay how about this and this I have to credit ML Playbook, 'underdogs of 12 or more points that won 12 games or more the previous season are 11-0 ATS. Enough for me...take the FIGHTING IRISH! |
|||||||
09-21-19 | Oklahoma State +7 v. Texas | 30-36 | Win | 100 | 21 h 11 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at Texas 7:30 ET Cowboys (+) over Longhorns- Yeah, here they are now the Longhorns ready to gore me after failing in their opening game against LSU. Oh, they number had golden opportunities early to run away with it couldn't get it done. As it is they have Sam Ehlinger who averages 319 yards passing and he will be opposed by the Cowboys running game lead by Chuba Hubbard who leads the country with 521 yards on the ground. Although the favorite is 8-2 ATS in the series Oklahoma State is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings in Texas! Take the COWBOYS! |
|||||||
09-21-19 | Oregon v. Stanford +10.5 | Top | 21-6 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 12 m | Show |
Oregon at Stanford 7:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Ducks-After what 'we' saw last week out of the Cardinal against Central Florida I don't blame you for turning away here as that was the second straight blow-out loss for Stanford. In the meantime, Oregon has rebounded from their heart breaking loss to Auburn and have out-scored their last two opponents 112-9 defeating Nevada and Montana. The Ducks are coming off of a pair wins against soft opponents and now play a conference foe in need. Stanford is 1705 ATS after a straight-up loss and 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take STANFORD! |
|||||||
09-21-19 | Central Florida v. Pittsburgh +11 | 34-35 | Win | 100 | 18 h 34 m | Show | |
Central Florida at Pittsburgh 3:30 ET Panthers (+) over Knights- Well, after last week's dominating performance against Stanford there is a clammer about Central Florida's national ranking (#18) as many believe that they belong on the Top-10. The issue is and has been the strength of schedule for the Knights as they don't often play against FBS Big-5 teams. Pittsburgh is off of a game effort against Penn State losing 17-10 and have already been informed as to how good their opponent is. The Knights should be a bit 'full-of-themselves' this week and are an amazing 0-13 ATS in school history when play the second of two against FBS teams. Take PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
09-21-19 | Louisville v. Florida State -6.5 | 24-35 | Win | 100 | 17 h 28 m | Show | |
Louisville at Florida State 3:30 ET Seminoles (-) over Cardinals- Florida State has been so bad under Willie Taggert, I can't believe that I am backing them as a favorite but I'll tru and justify it to at least myself. The Seminoles are 3-11-3 ATS in their last 17 ACC games and believe it or not those 'numbers' are better than what the other side has to offer. Louisville is 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games and 9-23 ATS in their last 32 overall and they are 0-6 ATS in their last six conference games. In spite of a terrible defense allowing 485 yards per game the Seminoles are in position to scalp the birds. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
09-21-19 | Michigan +4 v. Wisconsin | 14-35 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 19 m | Show | |
Michigan at Wisconsin 12:00 ET Wolverines (+) over Badgers- The image these two clubs bring into this fray is totally diverse as Wisconsin enters unscored upon winning 61-0 over C. Michigan and 49-0 over S. Florida while Michigan struggled at home against the Army winning in 2OT's and was not very impressive. Both sides have had a extra week to prepare and the trends are a 'wash' as the Badgers are 1-8 ATS after a SU win and the Wolves are 0-5 ATS at Wisconsin and 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 overall. That's why I wonder how in the world did this number open -3. Some-thins up. Take MICHIGAN! |
|||||||
09-20-19 | Utah v. USC +4 | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Utah at USC 9:00 ET Trojans (+) over Utes- The only chance the Pac-12 has at getting a representative in the Final-4 in for Utah to run the table. Not only is the Pac-12 the weakest of the Big-5 conferences they just don't compete well against in non-conference games. The Utes are 3-0 and have defeated rival BYU and pair of underlings Northern Illinois (35-15) and Idaho State (31-0) but will face their toughest competition to date in USC who is starting a freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis who threw three interceptions against BYU. With one common opponent that BYU crushed and the Trojans lost to. But, USC is 8-1 all-time against the Utes at home. I expect a turn-around here. Take USC. |
|||||||
09-19-19 | Titans v. Jaguars +2 | Top | 7-20 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
Tennessee at Jacksonville 8:20 ET Jaguars (+) over Titans- I don't see it, at least not what the general opinion of this matchup between a pair of AFC South rivals. Tennessee is a slight road favorite and I guess that is because of the Jaguars having to go with rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew and their impressive road win at Cleveland or maybe because they are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and 6-1 in the last seven meetings. Jacksonville troubles seem to be more than injuries but player dissatisfaction. But, the Titans are 1-4 ATS vs. the NFC South and 4-12-1 ATS their last 17 road games while the home team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take JACKSONVILLE! |
|||||||
09-19-19 | Houston v. Tulane -4 | Top | 31-38 | Win | 100 | 2 h 33 m | Show |
Houston at Tulane 8:00 ET Green Wave (-) over Cougars- Okay, don't you think that Houston looks good here? I do, too good. The Cougars are returning QB D' Eriq King a senior that has set passing records as an underclassman and defeated Tulane 48-17 at home last season. The Green Wave have been an underdog against Houston every year for over two decades and now they are favored...something's up. Take TULANE! |
|||||||
09-16-19 | Browns v. Jets +7 | Top | 23-3 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
Cleveland at New York Jets 8:15 ET Jets (+) over Browns- After game the NFL opening week it appears that the Cleveland Browns have been reading their own press clipping as they were not ready to play on the field as they were completely dominated by Tennessee. Cleveland committed 18 penalties last week as their focus was elsewhere. . This week the Browns travel to New York as Odell Beckham Jr. returns to MetLife Stadium since being traded by the Giants and he says that he will wear his watch (in order to get his timing down I guess) and I'm interested in how the NFL will handle the issue. Regardless, New York will have a healthy Le'Veon Bell and will have Trevor Siemian who was 13-11 as a starter for Denver in 2016-17. It was the Jets that the Browns defeated last season when Baker Mayfield got his first start and ended a 19-game winless streak. This time take the J-E-T-S! |
|||||||
09-15-19 | Eagles v. Falcons +2 | Top | 20-24 | Win | 100 | 28 h 33 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Atlanta 8:20 ET Falcons (+) over Eagles- Oh my goodness, I believe I see a 'set-up' here. After posting Minnesota (Power Play winner) over the Falcons last week as the 'dirty-birds' were grounded by the Vikings. They were never really in it and put up a pair of meaningless scores at the end. Philadelphia put on a huge comeback after spotting the Redskins an 18 point lead to win outright but they allowed a score in the final moments to give up the back door cover. The Eagles might be grounded here as another pair of receivers are gimping around and their quarterbacks isn't in tune yet. Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the Falcons are 4-0 the last four years in game-2. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
09-15-19 | Bears v. Broncos +2.5 | 16-14 | Win | 100 | 24 h 44 m | Show | |
Chicago at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos over Bears- Both these clubs started on a sour note and neither of them showed much offense at all. From what I saw Denver didn't look so hot on offense but Chicago was just brutal. We saw it in the NFL Playoffs against the Eagles as their double-bonker field goal attempt left them short, but they had only one offensive score that day as well. Chicago is 1-5 ATS on the against teams with losing records and the underdog is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Truly the quarterback position is weaker than the Bears are willing to admit and even with a great defense they won't be able to overcome Denver and the 'Mile High' advantage. Take the BRONCOS! |
|||||||
09-15-19 | Chiefs v. Raiders +7.5 | 28-10 | Loss | -125 | 24 h 32 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Oakland 4:05 ET Raiders (+) over Chiefs- Kansas City and their 'High Powered' offense invade Oakland with some nagging injuries hampering key players for this weekend encounter. Pat Mahomes sprained his ankle last week in Jacksonville but will be ready Sunday and speedster Tyreek Hill will miss six weeks with a collar bone issue. The Raiders man-handled Denver last week 24-16 and have gone 4-0 both ATS and SU in their last four at home and the home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings. Take the RAIDERS |
|||||||
09-15-19 | Cowboys v. Redskins +6.5 | Top | 31-21 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 30 m | Show |
Dallas at Washington 1:00 ET Redskins (+) over Cowboys- Do you really think Dak Prescott is as good as he looked against the Giants...of course not, but with that kind of time to throw and receivers that wide open even Tim Tebow would look good. Of course the return of Zeke Elliott three days before the game and then preform the way he did says to us how important pre-season is for skilled players. Washington was in position to pull off the first major upset of the season but folded when it counted most as the Eagles prevailed 32-27 as the Skins (+10) got the money. Although Dallas is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to DC the underdog is 27-11 ATS in this hard hitting rivalry. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
09-15-19 | Chargers v. Lions +2 | 10-13 | Win | 100 | 20 h 16 m | Show | |
L.A. Chargers at Detroit 10:10 ET Lions (+) over Chargers- Okay, I have said a number of times that this coach (? in name only) Matt Patricia is a hoax and here I am supporting this bum and his crew of under achievers. Matt Stafford has turned into the biggest bunch of meaningly numbers which still always spell L-O-S-S. The way the Lions blew an 18-point lead to Arizona last week was an NFL disgrace (we had the winner) and it was all coaching. So, why Detroit on this Sunday and that is it...on any given Sunday. Remember they did defeat the Packers 41-0 to end last season. The trends are all Chargers so I won't tell you about them as I don't want you to get 'cold feet'...but San Diego has won seven of the last eight meetings and the Lions are 4-12 ATS against a team with a winning record. Like I said take DETROIT! |
|||||||
09-14-19 | Texas Tech v. Arizona +3 | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Arizona 10:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Red Raiders- Oh my! Now, I recognize that defense for Arizona, it's a Kevin Sumlin defense allowing 43 points a game against Hawaii and FBS Northern Arizona. Texas Tech has two wins over Montana State and UTEP and has allowed just 13 points and one TD. But, beating those two teams isn't very impressive. The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games while the Red Raiders who play on plastic are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games on grass. Take ARIZONA! |
|||||||
09-14-19 | Florida State +7.5 v. Virginia | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 20 h 17 m | Show | |
Florida State at Virginia 7:30 ET Seminoles (+) over Cavaliers- This Florida State is a bad bunch in so many ways starting with their head coach and players behavior and attitude. After escaping 45-44 in overtime against FBS opponent Louisiana-Monroe winning only because of a missed extra point on OT one might think the Seminoles would be thankful but, they are still arrogant and disrespectful and unsportsmanlike to opponents. The thing is they own Virginia and have beaten them like a drum 15 of the 18 times that they have met. So, take the SEMINOLES! |
|||||||
09-14-19 | Arizona State +15 v. Michigan State | 10-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 24 m | Show | |
Arizona State at Michigan State 4:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Spartans- Last season the Sun Devils upset Michigan State 16-13 in Game 3 for both on the season and the Spartans never seemed to recover and sort of slept-walked through a 7-6 year. MSU has the nation's No. 1 rushing defense but should both Arizona State who threw for 304 of their total yards last week against Sacramento State. ASU may be 2-0 against much weaker opponents but they are 0-4 ATS in their last four non-conference games. Take the SUN DEVILS! |

Hamilton at Calgary 6:00 ET Stampeders (-) over Tiger-Cats- Hamilton is off of a bye week and comes to Calgary winning their last four going 1-3 ATS. Calgary is 4-1 ATS in their last five games and is 5-0 SU in their last five home games against the Tiger-Cats. Bo Levi Mitchell has returned to QB the Stampeders and he will be the difference. Take CALGARY! |

Chip's NCAAF 'Guaranteed' 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks Chip Chirimbes the 'Big Game Player' and Las Vegas Hilton Handicapping Champion was 3-1-1 ATS Saturday and is either 1-0-1 or 1-1 ATS with his 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks after Texas (+7 or +6.5) lost or 'pushed' 38-45 against LSU. Saturday, the 'Big-Game Player' has posted a 'Guaranteed' Highest-Rated A-Play Megabucks winner between Stanford and Central Florida. Cash-in on his Highest-Rated 'Guaranteed' Megabucks Best Bet only $49 or as part of Chip's 'Guaranteed' Triple-Play of Best Bet winners for just $79 or his 'Guaranteed' Fab-5 Full Slate for $99! Stanford at Central Florida 3:30 ET Cardinals (+) over Panthers- It's been great playing 'on and off' the Cardinals as they have won as our 'Megabucks' opening week Best Bet and then fell to USC (our ('Money Game' winner). So, I feel very comfortable backing them here. There has been a way-over reaction to both these clubs with Central Florida's No. 16 status inflated by the level of competition they play. Now, I'm not saying that they don't deserve it but like Gonzaga in NCAAB they don't play enough good competition. Stanford Quarterback K.J. Costello returns after concussion protocol while the Panthers are deciding between three quality starters in Brandon Wimbush (ND Transfer), Darriel Mack, Jr. (last years back-up) or freshman Dillon Gabriel but no matter, it will be K.J. that will be the difference. Take STANFORD! |

09-14-19 | USC v. BYU +5 | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 16 h 23 m | Show | |
USC At BYU 3:30 ET Cougars (+) over Trojans- After losing quarterback JT Daniels for the season many thought the Trojans were done for the season but our 'Money Game' release USC was an easy 45-20 win over Stanford. Kevin Slovis made a great debut against the Cardinal last week throwing for 377 yards the best ever for a USC freshman. After losing to Utah the Cougars managed to hand around and finally defeat Tennessee as sophomore quarterback Zach Wilson was a workmanlike 19-of-29 for 232 yards. This game is more meaningful to BYU and they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall while the Trojans are 1-8 ATS in their last nine non-conference games. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |

09-14-19 | Ohio State v. Indiana +18.5 | 51-10 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Buckeyes- Okay, I have to start with this one...my first impression after what the Buckeyes have done and the ease at which they did it winning their first two was that this opening line -16.5 had me thinking there is respect for Indiana. Ohio State has dominated the series 76-12-5 and has a 24-game winning streak over the Hoosiers but aRe 1-7 ATS in the last eight meetings. Any other trends that I could dig up would support OSU so I'll keep them to myself. Hey, I have one more, the Buckeyes are 0-4 ATS in the Big Ten as double-digit road favorites. TakE INDIANA! |

09-13-19 | Ottawa v. BC -5 | Top | 5-29 | Win | 100 | 33 h 10 m | Show |
Ottawa at British Columbia 10:00 ET Lions (-) over RedBlacks- The CFL bottom feeders meet in week 14 of action with Ottawa (3-8) entering having lost eight of nine while BC (1-10) has dropped seven straight. The Lions have won 13 of the past 18 meetings between the two and is 4-2 ATS in the last six meetings. There is one oddity among the trends and that is the RedBlacks are 28-12 ATS in their last 40 road games but 2-8 ATS against teams with losing records and no one has lost more than the Lions. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA! |

09-13-19 | North Carolina v. Wake Forest -3 | 18-24 | Win | 102 | 29 h 49 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Wake Forest 6:00 ET Demon Deacons (-) over Tar Heels- Both these clubs enter 2-0 as they prepare for their opening ACC game of the season. North Carolina under 'new' boss 81-year old Mac Brown and true freshman quarterback Sam Howell who has lead a pair of fourth quarter comebacks will have their hands full against the Wake Forest offense. The Demon Deacons have four straight 500-yard games under their belt and they will have their way against a Carolina team that is paying their first game on the road. Add that the home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings closes the deal for me. Take WAKE FOREST! |

09-12-19 | Bucs +7.5 v. Panthers | Top | 20-14 | Win | 100 | 21 h 46 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Carolina 8:20 ET Buccaneers (+) over Panthers- Both of these NFC South clubs seem to be heading south opening 0-1 with one being even less impressive than the other staring 0-1 ATS. The headliners here at one time had to be Cam Newton for Carolina and Jamis Winston for the Buccaneers, but times change and the best player on the field (by far) will be Christian McCaffrey who had 208 yard form scrimmage in a losing cause against the Rams. Tampa Bay's performance against San Francisco wasn't as bad as it appeared as the out-gained the Niners both on the ground and through the air. They just need Winston to stay under control and no turn the ball over. Moving toward each other this one should be close with the Buccaneers having a chance to pull it out in the end. Add that the road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take TAMPA BAY! |

09-09-19 | Broncos v. Raiders +3 | 16-24 | Win | 100 | 13 h 36 m | Show | |
Denver at Oakland 10:20 ET Raiders over Broncos- Well, the clown show is over in Oakland but there really won't be much difference in the team make-up. Releasing Antonio Brown really had no affect on the Raiders as he attended only two practices where he participated and that was under a limited basis so this team has been together without AB since day one. But, the Raiders number one concern shouldn't be on offense where Brown would have contributed but their defense which was ranked last in points scored last season allowing an NFL most 29.2 points per game. John Gruden will have his guys ready...take OAKLAND! |

09-08-19 | Chiefs v. Jaguars +3.5 | Top | 40-26 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 9 m | Show |
Kansas City at Jacksonville 1:05 ET Jaguars (+) over Chiefs- Although the 'books' are heavy on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl and heavy with the 'public' money so far in this encounter but aware the 'Sharps' in Las Vegas keep taking the hook (+3.5) and it will be tough to get more than +3. Straight-up if that's the way you want me to play it maybe the remnants of hurricane 'Missed-Ya' will leave the field soggy and muddy and the Kansas City passing game will suffer. Okay, well, if not Jacksonville will run the ball right at them and play strong pressure defense. Either way or another the Jags get it done. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

09-08-19 | Ravens v. Dolphins +7.5 | 59-10 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 1 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Miami 1:00 ET Dolphins (+) over Ravens- Really now, are the Dolphins that bad, so bad that they keep beat a one-dimensional quarterback with the points at home. The Miami humidity will help and so will experience quarterbacking in Ryne Fitzpatrick. The trends are so one sided that it would be impossible for me to make a case of any sort for Miami mas the Ravens have dominated the series to the tune of 8-0 both nSu and ATS in the last eight meetings including 5-0 ATS in Miami. But the Fins are 6-2 ATS in their last eight at home and although Miami has made the playoffs in over a decade they have won their last five openers 5-0 ATS. Take MIAMI! |

L.A. Rams at Carolina 1:05 ET Panthers (+) over Rams- Well, we just saw what happens to teams that don't play any of their starters during the pre-season as the Bears managed just a field goal. Los Angeles has taken that same prima donna approach this per-season and now expect their talent to turn it on in Charlotte where the Panthers and a fresh Cam Newton are lying in wait. Take CAROLINA! |

Buffalo at New York Jets 1:00 ET Bills (+) over Jets- Everything is 'new' with the Jets who have Adam Gase head coach leading the charge and Le'Veon Bell running and catching the pigskin with second year pro Sam Darnold heading the offense. Buffalo has a second year quarterback Josh Allen who many believe has a brighter future than his New York counterpart. The Bills have won three of their last five trips the NYC and the underdog is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and the Jets are 1-6 ATS in their last seven against the AFC East. Buffalo is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 openers while the Jets are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 oVerall. Take BUFFALO! |

Atlanta at Minnesota 1:05 ET Vikings (-) over Falcons- Man, now tis is my favorite of the day ...no not my favorite game of the day but my lone favorite release of the day. Vikings 7-2 SU and ATS in nine September home games under Zimmer 37-14 non-division contest including 21-5-1 ATS at home. Atlanta finally broke their 13-game pre-season losing streak beating Jacksonville 31-12 but are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Take MINNESOTA |

Stanford at U.S.C 10:30 ET Trojans (+) over Cardinal- Okay, we are all aware of the QB loss for Southern Cal but the bigger loss may be Stanford's first-time All-Big-12 left tackle Walker Little and along with K.J. Costello's concussion. So here we have the Cardinal 7-2 ATS in their last nine visits to USC but now for the first time they have been bet into the favorite. They are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall and could be moved to the Fav's roll because USC is 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 overall. But, shit happens and the Cardinal losses will have greater impact. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

09-07-19 | California +14 v. Washington | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 31 h 1 m | Show | |
California at Washington 10:30 ET Golden Bears (+) over Huskies- Opening Pac-12 game for both who are 1-0 with wins over weak sisters. Cal as a 15-point favorite got by UC Davis 27-13 while Washington squeezed by Eastern Washington 47-14 easily covering the -24. The Huskies have won nine of the past 12 meetings straight-up but the Bears posted a 12-10 win last season as both teams totaled less than 250 yards of offense. I expect another defensive game that stays within the 'number' add that the road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take CALIFORNAI! |

09-07-19 | LSU v. Texas +7 | Top | 45-38 | Push | 0 | 28 h 25 m | Show |
L.S.U. at Texas 7:30 ET Longhorns (+) over Tigers- 'I am shocked,' no not that there's gambling going on...but that everyone and I mean just about anyone not in Texas is running with cash in both fists to back Louisiana State. I liked the Longhorns from the git-go and with the price rising so quickly and continuously I only expect some buy back before game time. LSU is 6-2 ATS on the road and that might account for some of the support and they are 4-0-1 against the Big-12 in their last five meetings. But, the Tigers are a team that gets better as the season progresses as they are just 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games in September. Texas is 6-2 ATS in their last eight non-conference games and 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games at home. Take the LONGHORNS! |

New York Yankees at Boston 4:04 ET Red Sox over Yankees- If Boston is going to do anything down the stretch they will have to get bye their nemesis the New York Yankees who have the best record in the AL and an 8.5-game lead. The Red Sox who are just 36-36 at home and below the breakwater mark against winning teams. They will start rookie Travis Lakins (0-1, 4.70 ERA) who had a shaky outing in his first appearance against the Angels and is making his first MLB start. New York will start J.A. Happ (11-8, 5.34) who is 2-0 with a 4.24 ERA against the Sox this season. It's a matter need and Boston's is greater. Take the RED SOX! |

09-07-19 | Nebraska v. Colorado +4.5 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 25 h 41 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Colorado 3:30 ET Buffaloes (+) over Cornhuskers- It is said that the biggest improvement comes after game 1 game and in game two of the season after the coaching staff has had a week to make adjustments. Well, there is a ton of improvement that can happen for No. 25 Nebraska as they were lucky to survive 35-21 as a 27-point favorite at home against South Alabama as the Jaguars out gained the Cornhuskers and if not for a pair of touchdowns on an interception return and fumbler recovery. Colorado on the other hand has little room or need to improve as the crushed intra-state rival Colorado State 52-31 as they didn't commit a turnover or allow a sack but allowed the Rams 505 yards. Nebraska also had a punt return for three non-offensive scores. The Buffaloes are 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings and the Cornhuskers are 0-5 ATS in their last five non-conference games. Colorado won last year's opener over the Huskers who gained 565 yards and do it again here! TAKE COLORADO! |

Texas A&M at Clemson 3:30 ET Tigers (-) over Aggies- This match-up has the nation buzzing as it will be the lowest number of points that the Tigers will lay at home this season. The Aggies who fell 28-26 at home last season as a 12-point underdog. The game really wasn't that close as A&M scored twice in the final quarter to cut down a 15-point Clemson lead. This week billboard material came out of Texas where the Aggies player claim they will win this one outright! The 'action' has been virtually all one way as the 'public' and professionals have hit the dog already. No worries, wait and lay it at the buzzer as speed kills and the Tigers can outrun anybody. Take CLEMSON! |

09-05-19 | Packers v. Bears -3 | 10-3 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 59 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Chicago 8:20 ET Bears (-) over Packers- Including their 15-16 loss at Philadelphia and Chicago has now lost 4-of-5 both straight-up and ATS having been out-rushed in all four preseason games. Meanwhile, the Packers just took care of business against Kansas City last time out and are 7-2 ATS in their last meetings in Chicago. I feel like Green Bay has been playing possum with relations between the new head coach and the veteran quarterback. But, the truth of the matter is that it has been the Bears in hibernation and they are ready to roar as they are 7-0 ATS in their last seven against the NFC North while the Pacers are 0-4 in their last four versus the NFC North and they are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. Take CHICAGO! |

Houston at Oklahoma 7:30 ET Sooners over Cougars- Following a pair of Heisman Trophy winners at Oklahoma Jalen Hurts can be expected to fill their shoes in a much different way. Hurts will beat you more with his legs than his arm and one thing Oklahoma has always been able to do is run the ball. With Hurts in the backfield the Sooners ground attack will be that be much more prolific. The last time these two met Houston got the ring with a 33-23 victory to opening the 2016 season. Oklahoma as a measure of revenge on their minds. Take the SOONERS! |

Oregon vs Auburn 7:30 ET Ducks (+) over Tigers- I'm sure ABC will be pumping the 2011 BCS Championship have won by the Cam Newtown led Tigers (-2.5) 22-19 as Auburn has the superstar. The storyline here is that All-American quarterback Justin Herbert can't handle the SEC 'Big Game' pressure and Auburn is sure to apply defensive pressure. But, Herbert has thrown touchdown passes in 28 straight and and at some time he has faced 'pressure' time and again. True freshman Bo Nix gets the start at QB for Auburn while the Ducks have the experienced and talented superstar. Take OREGON! |

But they are 5-1 ATS last six at home and 7-2 ATS overall. Virginia has struggled in the last meetings going1-4-1 ATS. The Panthers will be led by QB Kenny Pickett and have won four straight in the series including last years 23-13 win at Virginia. The Cavaliers offense has improved under Bronco Mendenhall but they still depend on their defense to win games. Panthers will growl here...PITTSBURGH! |

Northwestern at Stanford 4:00 ET Cardinal (-) over Wildcats- The storyline here if you are a Cardinal is getting revenge for the 2015 opening game 16-6 beatdown handed to them by the hosting 10-point underdog Wildcats. Now, No. 23 Stanford gets to host and No. 25 Northwestern who has won 15 of their last 16 regular season games. Stanford who had Bryce Love in the backfield last season were 122nd out of 129 FBS teams in rushing in 2018. The Wildcats are even sure who might be their quarterback while Stanford return junior K.J. Costello who threw for 3,540 yards and 29 TD's.

Utah at B.Y. U 10:15 ET Cougars (+) over Utes- Utah as you might expect is the favorite to win the Big-12 but first must start the season by getting by their intra-state rival Brigham Young. This is the 94th meeting of the 'Holy War' and the Utes have won the last eight and are 10-5 ATS series run. Utah has 14 starters returning while BYU has 17 players returning including their quarterback, 3 receivers and top running back. The Cougars are 23-11 ATS as a dog and 7-2 ATS as an underdog in this series also the dog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings and the Cougars are 13-3 SU in home openers. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |

Miami 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games but New Orleans has Drew Brees healthy and on the bench whereas the Dolphins a have Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen still in a battle for playing time and their competition should give the Dolphins the motivational edge.

New York Giants at New England 7:30 ET Giants (+) over Patriots- A pair teams with 3-0 pre-season records clash in Foxboro where two rivals will meet once again. With the understanding that this pits an AFC and NFC matchup but these two play every pre-season and have met in post season and the Giants always seem to get the best of it. New York is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. The Patriots are an incredible 41-17 ATS overall in last 57 and 39-12-2 ATS at home. New York on the other hand is 7-0 ATS in their last seven road games. New England has accomplished its goals this preseason and the Giants are still a work in process. Take NEW YORK! |

Bills know that they beat this team because they pulled off the huge upset 27-6 win at Minnesota last September out-gaining the Vikings by 120 yards on the ground. Minny's 3-0 this preseason has more substance because they may be heading to the playoffs and they have accomplished what they wanted and are looking to stay healthy. Buffalo still has work to do with their 2nd year quarterback Josh Allen and is looking to improve every time out especially without 'Shady.' Take BUFFALO. |

The Rainbows home are 6-22-1 ATS at home in their last 29 games as hosts and are 14-35 ATS overall in their last 49. QB Cole McDonald threw for 36 TD's and 3,875 yards and yet the former Warriors are a double-digit underdog at home against a team that was just 5-7 last season. Arizona is 5-0 lifetime against Hawaii and will have a healthy Khalil Tate who will exploit a defense that surrendered 440 yards per game last season. Take ARIZONA! |

New Orleans at New York Jets 7:30 ET Jets over Saints- This NFL pre-season has been different from any other I've experienced previously. The reason is that starters are seeing less and less time on the field and many coaches are just having the players going through the motions. The Saints are a club that has already accomplished their pre-season goal having an offense that moves the ball and a defense that stood up hen needed last week. The Jets on the other hand realize that they have plenty of work left to do. New York has been out-gained by 141 by the Giants and 128 yards by Atlanta in their 22-10 win. Jets will play their starters into the third quarter and get the win. Take J-E-T-S! |

Winnipeg at Edmonton 9:00 ET Eskimos (-) over Blue Bombers- After comparing the stats and 'numbers' surrounding this matchup it appears to me that the Eskimos are an inflated favorite against what appears to be a slightly superior team and that draws me to the favorites side. The Blue Bombers are 19-8 ATS against teams with winning record and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Yet, they are a heavy underdog here. I don't trust it...take EDMONTON! |

The Bills (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) led by former Wyoming QB Josh Allen are placed in an unusual place as a road favorite and in such a meaningless game. The Lions under Matt Patricia have looked dazed and confused at times after getting abused by New England 31-3 at home in their pre-season opener. I expect a better effort in front of the home crowd this time around. Take DETROIT! |

Atlanta is 5-14 straight-up in pre-season action including 11 straight losses and are just 4-15 ATS. Washington on the other hand is no prize either as they have lost nine of their last 10 and have been badly out-played in their two exhibition losses. Out-gained by 147 they lost to Cleveland 30-10 and out-gained by the Bengals by 130 yards in a 23-13 loss. Yet, the Redskins are favored on the road here. 'It DONT make sense...take WASHINGTON! |

New Orleans meanwhile put up 25 points in their loss hosting Minnesota while surrendering 34. The Saints were badly out-played by the Vikings as they averaged just 3.1 yards per play. The Chargers out-gained the Cardinals by 100 yards on the ground (without Melvin Gordon) and will get the win here. Take CHARGERS! |

Detroit at Houston 8:00 ET Texans over Lions- Lions coach Matt Patricia a former Patriots assistant coach defeated New England during the regular season last year but opened this pre-season by getting blasted by the Patriots 31-3. Bill Belichick got his measure of revenge last eek and Detroit will try and pick up the pieces today. The problem is that they are poorly coached and play at Houston where the Texans have won six of its last seven preseason games and are a perfect 5-0 against the NFC. The Texans pushed the Packers around in their 28-26 loss at Green Bay last week but turnovers did they in. Tonight the dominate a weakling. Take HOUSTON! |

They won the big prize with their back-up quarterback and are having trouble keeping their QB's healthy since trading their SB MVP Nick Foles. And where is Foles today but playing for the Jaguars. Jacksonville was shutout in their opener and I'm sure they will come-back with a huge performance here. Philly just wants to stay healthy. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

But, as I stated in my NYG/NYJ write-up things are not always as the might seem. San Francisco does have some bright possibilities but have be beset by injuries already this pre-season while the Cowboys are focused on getting back to the playoffs. The 49ers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight against the NFC and the road team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Take DALLAS! |

The Blue Bombers (Power Play) blew a 20-0 lead to Toronto when they started looking ahead to this encounter and got caught losing outright 28-27. They will be motivated tonight and the odds maker thinks so too. The Bombers haven't been anything close to high a number. Lay-it! Take WINNIPEG! |

New York Jets at New York Giants 7:05 ET Giants over Jets- This game has always been a big yawn for the New York football fan but, I do remember seeing Jason Sehorn go down running back a kick and his career as never the same. For the most part this game has gone to the team that has been belittled the most in the New York press. This year because of the selection of Daniel Jones and the loss of Odell Beckham and the loyalty to Ely Manning the Giants have been the victim. The Jets are the darlings of the press right now with their acquisition of Le'Veon Bell and the maturing hopeful Sam Darnold at quarterback it is better to be a Jets in the Gotham tabloids. So, some how it's the BIG BLUE GIANTS! |

The Stampeders are 18-5 straight up in the last 23 meetings but 0-5 ATS in the last five encounters. Take EDMONTON! |

Previous stats will fade the Alouettes as Ottawa has won the last five meetings both SU and ATS in Montreal but things change. This time around it is Montreal that has the hammer as they are 4-1 ATS this season and post another win tonight. Take the ALOUETTES! |

Toronto at Calgary 9:00 ET Stampeders (-) over Argonauts- I am sure that there will be tons of money bet on Calgary here and usually that sends up a 'red' flag to me as I prefer not be on the side of 'heavy' money. But, in this spot it can't be avoided. To start with this Toronto team in the past three season's since their winning the Grey Cup after posting a 10-8 record and ran through the CFL playoffs has been the worst team in professional sports. Calgary has taken advantage of the Agro's winning 10 of their last 11 meetings and is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Stampeders are off of a rare upset loss to Hamilton and will be loaded here against a teams that has scored just 59 points in four games while surrendering 49.5 point per game. This shouldn't be close. Lay it with CALGARY! |

Calgary and Hamilton 7:00 ET Tiger-Cats (-) over Stampeders- Things in the CFL can change quickly and the Tiger-cats have turned the corner and have what most believe is the best offense in the league. Hamilton's Jeremiah Masoli has thrown for 1325 yards for an offense that averages 402 yards including 5.4 yards per rushing attempt. Calgary has used three different quarterbacks and none of them has shown any promise. After getting upset by Montreal the Tiger-cats will be ready to go here. Take HAMILTON! |

Toronto at Winnipeg 8:30 ET Blue Bombers (-) over Argonauts- How bad is Toronto, well to start with they won just 4 of 18 games last season and are 0-3 (1-2 ATS) this season and are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games. The Argonauts ran for just 41 yards in 11 attempts last time out and are 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to Winnipeg. The Blue Bombers are 3-0 not only straight-up but ATS as well and are 5-1 both SU and ATS in the last six meetings overall. The points are heavy but the talent difference is too great for Toronto to overcome even with the generous points. Take the BLUE BOMBERS! |

British Columbia at Toronto 7:00 ET Lions (-) over Argonauts- This one causes some concern as a pair of winless clubs go at it in Toronto (0-2) where the hapless Argonauts host British Columbia (0-3) where the visitor is a heavy favorite. How can an 0-3 team be favored on the road might raise some eyebrows as the Lions look for their first win. Toronto has been absolutely atrocious since pulling off their major upset in the Grey Cup two years ago and are just 17-35 in their last 52 games overall and don't have enough to keep this one close. Take LIONS! |

But, the Redblacks have had an extra week to get ready coming off of a bye week and have shown and offense that can get it done scoring 32 and 44 points in their two outings. Take REDBLACKS! |

Hamilton at Montreal 7:30 ET Alouettes (+) over Tigers-Cats- Hamilton enters this contest 3-0 both straight-up and ATS while the Alouettes have yet to win (0-2) and lost to the Tiger-Cats 41-10 last week at Hamilton. Montreal has had their issues but in the second of back-to-back games after getting destroyed last week will adjust and the Tiger-Cats will be a bit cocky and my get caught here. Take MONTREAL |

Golden State at Toronto 9:00 ET Warriors (+) over Raptors- All season long we have been waiting for the Warriors to turn it on and now they have no choice. If course injuries have taken its toll on Golden State and playing in five straight finals has them weary and dragging up and down the court. Toronto appears fresh and ready to go as their energy level seems to have increased as the series moves on. The front court duo of Curry and Thompson has been in synch for the most part but Cousins and Green need more production. They get it tonight! Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Toronto at Golden State 9:00 ET Raptors (+) over Warriors- All season long 'we' have been led to believe that the Warriors could just turn it on anytime they wished and that they would win with or without some of their important cogs. Now, one of their key ingredients will return as the claim is that Klay Thompson's 'popped' hammy has heeled (? really) and all expect Golden State to just once again control the floor. Toronto is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to the Bay area and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take the RAPTORS! |

NBA Final Game-1 Golden State at Toronto 9:00 ET Raptors over Warriors- Golden State comes charging into Toronto riding a six-game playoff winning streak while the home Raptors have four straight wins themselves taking down favored Milwaukee after trailing 0-2. From what I've seen so far and I don't think it will change is that the Warriors are going to take down a huge amount of money, so much so between the series and individual games I can't see how the money could shift. The Warriors are 7-18 ATS in their last 25 games against the Atlantic and the series l'price' is a bit low in my opinion and invites Golden State action. Toronto is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings, has the better record for the season and is the higher seed and is 40-11 SU at home! Take the RAPTORS! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 8:30 ET Bucks (+) over Raptors- Milwaukee has lost three straight for the first time this season as a matter of fact they had lost two-in-a-row just twice this entire season. A week ago 'we' were saying how Kawhi Leonard was aware that he is not the best player on the floor as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo is around and he responded like a true champion. Tonight, it is a matter of survival and the Bucks will be playing aggressive on both ends of the court. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 8:30 ET Bucks (-) over Raptors- This series has gone to 'form' as far as 'we' are concerned winning with the Raptors when most had written them off. Milwaukee now seems to be the team in flux if they can't find a way to support Antekounmpo's play they are doomed but they seem to be able to do it at home. Since their opening home loss to Boston the Bucks are 4-0 both SU & ATS and they respond to losses as they are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight-up loss. Toronto meanwhile is 1-6 ATS on the road against teams with winning records over 60% and 1-5 ATS on the road overall. I hope the points don't become a factor but I will lay it...take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 8:30 ET Raptors (ML) over Raptors- Does the home court advantage mean that much in the NBA playoffs? It seems to mean something between these rivals and although it took a pair of overtimes to do it the Raptors have a 'renewed' confidence after the Game 3 win. Toronto saw the possibility of going down 0-3 in the second overtime but responded as champions should. The Bucks are good and may have the best player in basketball but they are young and has not been here before. Once again...it's TORONTO! |

Golden State at Portland 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Warriors- Before Game 1 of this series all the pundits were expounding on what a great shot Portland had to win the series. Okay, Golden State laid down the lay in the opener and then the Blazers responded in Game 2 getting the cash but blowing a 17-point second half lead and the game. At that point I thought that they were 'toast' and posted Megabucks winner Golden State I Game 3 when most ere expecting backs-to-the-wall performance they they just didn't have it. Well, there is no pressure tonight as they realize reluctantly the series in done. But, with the experts and public now back fully behind the Warriors....Take PORTLAND! |

Golden State at Portland 9:00 ET Warriors (+) over Trailblazers- How about that...knowing how to win was key in Game 2 of this series as the Warriors 'stole' one from the Trailblazers. Portland had a 17-point second half lead and choked it away last down the stretch as the Golden State tied and then trailed by six points before overcoming these 'dogs.' The Trailblazers are now in the favorites roll down 0-2 and I won't be surprised if they don't win another game this season. The Blazers have lost four of their last six and one again come up short. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Toronto at Milwaukee 8:30 ET Bucks (-) over Raptors- I was truly sick when the final was posted for Game 1 as the Raptors did their thing late and were out-scored 10-0 to end the game and 'our' point spread dreams. So, what we have now is a club (the Bucks) that just ignore trends and the opposition and just continue to play hard and 'cover.' After what 'we' all witnessed I just believe that Milwaukee is destined to move into the FBA Finals. Take the BUCKS! |
