10-28-18 | Packers v. Rams -8 | Top | 27-29 | Loss | -103 | 22 h 52 m | Show |
Green Bay at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET Rams (-) over Packers- This game has attracted plenty attention not only because it involves the best team in the league or the best quarterback on the field but because the 'line' is so high. I'm wondering if they are trying to tell us that the Rams are that good or Green Bay heading south. We should realize that both could be true and I do suspect that the Packers are on the down slide. Problems with Rogers are greater then 'they' are willing to admit as he appears at times to be hobbling. Green Bay have the best QB on the field but Los Angeles has the best running back with Todd Gurley leading the NFL with 686 yards on the ground and 14 touchdowns (Rogers only has 12 TD's). I think that the line is excessively high and that gives me thought that the oddsmakers are making it easy for 'us' to take the points. Well, not this time. Take the RAMS! |

10-28-18 | Colts v. Raiders +3.5 | 42-28 | Loss | -118 | 21 h 54 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Oakland 4:05 ET Raiders (+) over Colts- The idea that Indianapolis is favored on the road against anyone makes my eyebrows rise. The Colts are 1-3 on the road and are off a huge home win over Buffalo with Andrew Luck throwing for four TD's with no interceptions. The changes for the Raiders continue to happen with six NFL transactions this week. At 1-5 people are starting to ask just how long a leash doe Jon Gruden have...ha its a 10-year $100,000,000 leash. Their have been player grumblings trying to figure out whats 'going on?' But, they have the understanding that it could be them next if they don't do the job. I see Oakland as a motivated hungry club that is playing their third game at home. They are a minus -11 in points scored and allowed per game and yet this game is under field-goal. The Gruden factor here is that he is 7-1 straight-up and ATS at home with added rest and he is 14-6-1 ATS at home against an opponent off a win. Take OAKLAND! |

10-28-18 | Redskins v. Giants +1.5 | 20-13 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 6 m | Show | |
Washington at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Redskins- The first place Redskins (honest) come to East Rutherford a slight favorite against the 1-6 New York Giants. Big Blue is 0-3 both straight-up and ATS at home while going 2-8 SU and 1-7-2 ATS at home in division games. Washington I would imagine have the advantage as the Giants are off a Monday Night (Backdoor Cover) and have had two defensive starters ship out. We have all seen Eli get pounded week after week but he still gets up and is capable he given room. Dysfunctional comes together this week. Take the GIANTS! |
|||||||
10-28-18 | Eagles v. Jaguars +3.5 | Top | 24-18 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 4 m | Show |
Philadelphia vs Jacksonville 9:30 ET Jaguars (+) over Eagles- Do any of you guys or gals recall what has happened the previous NFC East Super Bowl Champions the following season. The Giants alone didn't make the playoffs after each of their four Super Bowl wins and the Eagles 'hangover' runs as deep. Okay, enough of these guys falling flat, how about the Jaguars play of late it has been a disgrace. These two met for the NFC title last season and it doesn't look that either of them will make it back to that level. Big news about the Jags their QB and it will be Blake Bortles and the team will respond. Jacksonville has won three in-a-row at Wembley Stadium and this makes four. Take the JAGUARS! |

10-27-18 | Texas v. Oklahoma State +3.5 | Top | 35-38 | Win | 100 | 52 h 19 m | Show |
Texas at Oklahoma State 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Longhorns- Listen if the Cowboys weren't able to control Longhorns we would all be vegetarian streak including a win over Oklahoma 48-45. Oklahoma State has a high powered offense that averages nearly 40-points per contest and they have had two weeks as well to pine off their beating at Kansas State (maybe a look-ahead). The Longhorns needed the two weeks for QB Sam Ehlinger to return from a sprained passing shoulder. Texas has the series edge 24-8 but the Cowboys have won six of the past eight and tonight makes another WIN! Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Hornets +5.5 v. 76ers | Top | 103-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
Charlotte at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over 76ers- After what I saw out of the 76ers last season I expected them to be force in the East and challenge Boston for the conference title. But, Philadelphia made a mess of their draft and are insisting on using personnel that is ready for prime time. Joel Embiid is a dominate figure when healthy and is questionable tonight after rolling' his ankle in practice yesterday. The Hornets dropped all four meetings last year by an average 14.5 points Without Embiid the Hornets Kemba Walker and Tony Parker should have their way. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Pacers v. Cavs +6.5 | 119-107 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
Indiana at Cleveland 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Pacers- It took LeBron James and his new teammates four game before they posted a victory while his jilted ex-mates are yet to win after five contests. Although 0-5 straight-up Cleveland is 3-2 ATS but 0-2 SU and ATS at home. Indiana is off a 116-96 win at San Antonio which makes them 1-2 on the road. This is their third straight road game for the Pacers and it will be enough for this winless to break into the win column. Take the CAVALIERS |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Washington v. California +12 | 10-12 | Win | 100 | 25 h 6 m | Show | |
Washington at California 6:30 ET Golden Bears (+) over Huskies- Despite their overtime loss to Oregon two weeks ago Washington (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12) is in the driver seat for the conference championship. Most people speak of the Huskies fine defense but believe it or not the Bears are allowing less yards per rush. Their all-time leading rusher Myles Gaskin is not expected to play Jake Browning has not been able to pick us the slack. Cal has decided on their quarterback and it's redshirt freshman Chase Garbers off his 234 yard performance last week. The Bears have lost three straight at home including a 37-7 beating at the hands of UCLA on Homecoming and look to atone for the home folks. Take CALIFORNIA! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Kentucky v. Missouri -7 | 15-14 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 14 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Missouri 4:00 ET Tigers (-) over Wildcats- Now, let me get this straight Kentucky is Ranked No. 14 are 6-1 SU, 4-1 SEC and they have the No. 2 scoring defense allowing just 12.9 points per contest. Yet, the Wildcats opened a 7-point underdog against a 4-3 0-3 SEC Missouri club that is 2-3 ATS in the last five. Kentucky who started 5-0 has shown kinks in their armor their last two outings rushing for just 70 yards against Texas A&M and passing for only 18 yards last weeks against Vanderbilt. This 'price' is ridiculous...lay it. Take MISSOURI! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Iowa v. Penn State -5 | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 22 h 36 m | Show | |
Iowa at Penn State 3:30 ET Nittany Lions (-) over Hawkeyes- Iowa comes into Beaver Stadium winners of three straight including a shutout (23-0) win over 'powerhouse' Maryland and a 42-16 win over Indiana. The Hawkeyes are 6-1 and have the better record and yet are a virtual touchdown underdog. The Lions have under-achieved to date even with Trace McSorley setting all kinds of school offensive records. My gut is that it is going to be Penn State's day, the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Clemson v. Florida State +17 | 59-10 | Loss | -105 | 46 h 41 m | Show | |
Clemson at Florida State 12:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Tigers- What more can I say...Clemson comes through as 'our' ACC GOY and CRUSHES NC State 41-7 raising 'my' GOY record to 5-0 100% (Don't miss the next one). Now, with the pressure off they invade a slow starting but improving Florida State club that carries a lot of pride entering this fray. You see the Seminoles were humbled on Nation al TV early-on (LSU $$$-Game winner) and then agains this time the catch the Tigers without their claws. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Utah v. UCLA +10.5 | Top | 41-10 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
Utah at U.C.L.A. 10:30 ET Bruins (+) over Utes- Utah is in position to win the South Division (3-2) but must first get by the Bruins who still have a shot after starting 0-5 (2-2). The Utes are off a convincing win over USC 41-28 moving them into the ranked teams at No. 24 and now catch a squad that is brimming with confidence after posting back-to-back wins smashing California and defeating Arizona. Utah is knowN for it's defense and it is UCLA that has excelled leading the Pac-12 with a plus 6 turnover ration. They have enough to get the money here. Take U.C.L.A. |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Wizards v. Kings +5 | 112-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Washington at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Wizards- Washington who is without a pair of centers Dwight Howard and Ian Mahinmi and have decided to run the floor and their up tempo offense has them sitting with the worst defense in the NBA. Sacramento has a young and aggressive club that is leading how to win and is off a win over Memphis and looks for more tonight. The Wizards won both meetings last season and are 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings but the Kings are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five in Sacramento. Take the KINGS! |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Calgary v. Winnipeg -3.5 | Top | 21-29 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
Calgary at Winnipeg 8:30 ET Blue Bombers (-) over Stampeders- This is the first time that Calgary have been an underdog this entire season. They have already clinch their playoff spot and may not be motivated here. After a 4-game losing streak they responded and are currently on a 4-games SU and ATS win streak. The Blue Bombers seem to pay their best at home against teams with winning records as they are 15-5 ATS in their last 20. Take WINNIPEG! |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Nets +9.5 v. Pelicans | 115-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at New Orleans 8:00 ET Nets (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans is undefeated (3-0) and are being led by Anthony Davis who is averaging 30.3 points and 13 rebounds. Brooklyn is led by Caris LeVert who averages 21 points per game have are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings but are 7-1 ATS after a win by 10 points or more. The Nets had six different players in double figures scoring last time out and are sharing the ball with the addition of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Shabazz Napier have a chance here. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
10-25-18 | Nuggets v. Lakers +3.5 | 114-121 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Denver at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Nuggets- The Lakers managed to win for the first time with LeBron James in uniform last night pounding the Suns in Phoenix 131-113. Denver has opened 4-0 straight-up and ATS and hold a huge advantage over the Lakers going 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Despite those numbers the Lakers have won three straight home games against the Nuggets and they win again tonight. This is a completely different Lakers clubs with Lebron aiding the youngsters confidence. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
10-25-18 | Dolphins v. Texans -7 | 23-42 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
Miami at Houston 8:20 ET Texans (-) over Dolphins- Houston who started the season 0-3 have reeled off four straight wins and will host the Dolphins who are off one of their worst performances of the year losing to Detroit 32-21. So, now both clubs have the same record 4-3 and yet the Texans are a stronger favorite then their records should indicate. AN interesting storyline here is about the Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler who was signed to be the starting QB for the Texans last season. Things didn't work out and here he is against his former club (One season) and once again with an inferior team. Look for Houston's defense to control the tempo and the final score. Take TEXANS! |
|||||||
10-25-18 | Celtics v. Thunder +1.5 | Top | 101-95 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
Boston at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Celtics- Maybe it's just because it is early in this season, but the Celtics just don't look right to me. The return of Gordon Hayward has not been impressive but neither has the performance of Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 0-3 with Russell Westbrook making his debut in their last game against Sacramento 131-120 putting up 32 points, 12 rebounds with eight assists. Boston has won 10 of the last 12 meetings straight-up but are a meager favorite here. Look for OKC to post their first win of the season. Take the THUNDER! |
|||||||
10-25-18 | Blazers v. Magic +3.5 | 128-114 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
Portland at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Trailblazers- Portland opened the season with two easy home wins over the Lakers and Spurs before being up-ended by Washington (Megabucks Best Bet winner) on Monday. Orlando meanwhile has split their four games but are 3-1 ATS and are getting the Blazers in their first road game of the season. Portland ended the 2018 season with four straight road losses and I expect much of the same here. Take ORLANDO! |
|||||||
10-25-18 | Baylor +14 v. West Virginia | 14-58 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Baylor at West Virginia 7:00 ET Bears (+) over Mountaineers- West Virginia has had two weeks to lick their wounds from the 30-14 beating they took at the hands of Iowa State where they were out-gained 498-152. Baylor who has dropped a notch or two since a great run but are averaging 33.4 points per game but have dropped four of the last six meetings but are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. West Virginia doesn't respond well after a loss as they are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
10-24-18 | Lakers v. Suns +4.5 | 131-113 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Phoenix 10:00 ET Suns over Lakers- Could the Lakers be worse off now then they were a year ago without LeBron James? This is a game suited for Prime-time (NOT) as these team have just one win between them in six outings. The fact that Los Angeles has come up the favorite here bothers me but the winless Lakers are being 'bet' like they have no opposition here. Add that Brandon Ingram and Rajon Rondo are suspended for this contest will aid Phoenix. The Suns won opening night (proving that they can win) and have dropped their last two to Denver and Golden State but rebound (pun) here. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
10-24-18 | Pacers +2.5 v. Spurs | Top | 116-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
Indiana at San Antonio 8:30 ET Pacers (+) over Spurs- 'What a difference a day makes'....actually an off-season. San Antonio who has been a major factor in the NBA for decades has taken a step down (in the odds-makers eyes). In the last 10 meetings between the Spurs and Pacers that have been played in Texas SA has been favored by six to 10-points in each game. Tonight they opened less than a long field goal and that speaks volumes. Indiana who is off Monday's loss at Minnesota are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a ATS loss. Indiana has won just two of their last 16 trips to San Antonio and that is why this line is so suspect. Take PACERS! |
|||||||
10-24-18 | Jazz +2.5 v. Rockets | 100-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Utah at Houston 8:00 ET Jazz (+) over Rockets- I love playing 'against' these Houston Rockets as they are the biggest hoax in the NBA. The addition of Carmelo Anthony Houston has weakened their defense which was terrible as it was and all but eliminated their inside game. They are having injury issues as James Ennis, Brandon Knight, Marquese Chriss and center Nene as well. Chris Paul will be out because of his suspension. Utah is off a terrible performance against Memphis and lost six of seven to the Rockets last season and yet they are favored by just a bucker her. Take JAZZ! |
|||||||
10-23-18 | Clippers +7 v. Pelicans | 109-116 | Push | 0 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at New Orleans 8:00 ET Clippers (+) over Pelicans- One thing these two clubs have in common is that they have both already defeated the Houston Rockets. There is a lot of that this season but I should mention that the 2-1 Clippers have played all three games at home. The Pelicans are 2-0 and have scored 131 and 149 points in their pair of contests with Antony Davis averaging 28.5 points and 13 rebounds and seven assists. Without DeMarcus Cousins Davis has more room to shine and he does and will but tonight they play close. Take the CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
10-23-18 | 76ers v. Pistons +1 | Top | 132-133 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over 76ers- The Pistons have a new attitude inspired by their 'new' head coach Dwane Casey who is the reining NBA Coach of the Year after leading Toronto to the best record in the East last season and they are 2-0. I was so high on the 76ers going into the NBA Spring draft and since then they have gone in the wrong direction. This will be a match-up of two huge power players in the Sixers Joel Embiid and the Pistons Blake Griffin who are both scoring over 29 points per. Aside from playing Markelle Fultz as a starter Philly has an ailing Ben Simmons forcing more action off their bench. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
10-22-18 | Wizards +5 v. Blazers | Top | 125-124 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
Washington at Portland 10:00 ET Wizards (+) over Trailblazers- Both clubs opened their season with a pair of home games with Washington losing twice and Portland winning their first twice. This of course if the third straight home game for the Blazers while the Wizards are starting a five-game road trip. This contest provides us with one of the best back court pairs going at it as Washington's Bradley Beal and John Wall will be pitted against Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. In game three both clubs should move more toward the middle. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
10-22-18 | Giants +4.5 v. Falcons | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
New York Giants at Atlanta 8:15 ET Giants (+) over Falcons- It was just six short weeks ago that all the pundits predicted that the Giants would win the NFC East and they are worse now then ever. After winning three games last season it was thought with the drafting of Saquon Barkley and a new coaching scheme that New York would show improvement. Atlanta who has problems of their own ended a 3-game losing streak last week but are just 4-8 at home against New York. The Giants have played one 'stand alone' game on a Thursday and were destroyed by the Eagles. Look for them to show up here. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Rockets v. Clippers +1 | 112-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Houston at L.A. Clippers 9:00 ET Clippers (+) over Rockets- Well, Houston did their thing last night 'beating' up on the weak LA Lakers who aside from LeBron James looked over-matched and will stay in town and play once again at the Stapes Center. The Clippers have a new look with 7'3” center Boban Marjanovic who was the difference late in the fourth quarter win over Oklahoma City. The Rockets will have problems getting 'ready' tonight after last night's 'action' against the Lakers. A pair of trends fade Houston as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six following a straight-up win and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings. Take the CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Bengals +7 v. Chiefs | Top | 10-45 | Loss | -140 | 26 h 40 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Kansas City 5:20 ET Bengals (+) over Chiefs- Those 'Dirty-rotten' pieces of garbage, did it to 'us' 'me' again. I frigging' HATE this club as they find ways to lose that can't be anticipated. Yet yes, I am talking about the Cincinnati Bengals am I will have them 'good' here. Kansas City falls into what Wayne and I like to call the 'Bang-Bang) theory. When are team, be it basketball, football or any sport for that matter has it's undefeated streak broken into the season that they struggle to recover emotionally before their next encounter. Therefore more often then not they don't make it especially as a favorite. All the trends say to fade the Bengals but I can't here. Take CINCINNATI! |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Warriors v. Nuggets +4.5 | Top | 98-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
Golden State at Denver 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Warriors- Golden State remains undefeated as they staged a dramatic 18-point come back to beat Utah at the buzzer 124-123 on Friday while the Nuggets are also 2-0 after cruising past Phoenix 119-91 yesterday. Denver is 2-0 for the first time in seven years while for the Warriors it hasn't been since 2015. These two split for meetings last season but Denver is 62-22 at home against Golden State. Take the NUGGETS! |

10-21-18 | Saints v. Ravens -2.5 | 24-23 | Loss | -120 | 20 h 12 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Baltimore 4:05 ET Ravens (-) over Saints- New Orleans and Drew Brees have had two weeks to savor their 4-1 record and Brees' personal accomplishments (500 TD passes and NFL total passing yards leader) with every Saint celebrated everywhere in the city. Baltimore meanwhile brings their lunchpail to work everyday and they will be ready. You see Brees have never defeated the Raves as he is 0-4 against this toughest of defenses. Baltimore often plays to the level of their competition as they are 6-1-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take BALTIMORE! |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Patriots v. Bears +3 | Top | 38-31 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 37 m | Show |
New England at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Patriots- I love it, I love that way the Bears just folded in Miami in a game that they thought they had won. And that was the problem, once you start thinking about next weeks opponent (New England) you can never get it back. Chicago blew late to the Dolphins because the Patriots were creeping into their minds. (even if not, it could have happened) But, the point should be that the Pat's will have their full attention for a full sixty minutes. New England handed Kansas City their first loss last Sunday night scoring 43 points. Here's the rub, NE is just 3-9-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points and I have more, The Bears are 10-3 straight-up and 11-2 ATS at home against AFC East off a win (Thank you ML-Playbook). Anyway you slice it the Bears are the 'play.' Take CHICAGO! |

10-21-18 | Vikings v. Jets +4 | 37-17 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 52 m | Show | |
Minnesota at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets over Vikings- Holy Moly as Austin Power might say as the Vikings come up a field goal and a tick favorite over the Jets. Now, New York has improved immensely with rookie quarterback Sam Darnold playing a very conservative game plans. The Jets have shocked a few opponents with a defense that thrives on turnovers that has produced wins over Detroit, Denver and Indianapolis. Minnesota has yet to show their stuff and maybe with Kirk Cousins running the show they never will get it together. The Vikings who have not been very impressive to date is 1-4-1 ARS after a straight-up win. Take J-E-T-S! |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Panthers +5.5 v. Eagles | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 17 h 49 m | Show | |
Carolina at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Panthers (+) over Eagles- From what I have seen both through the Pre-season (0-4 ATS) and regular season Philadelphia does not pass the eye test. They are just not in sync as last season and injuries are having an impact. Carolina is about where we expected them to be with an inconsistent offense and an offense that is dependent on a quarterback that is at his best when on the move. One good thing that can be said about 'that' quarterback is that Cam Newton is 19-8 ATS as a dog coming off a loss including 11-2 ATS if getting more +3. Finally, Eagles are 12-18-1 ATS after Thursday games. Take CAROLINA! |

10-21-18 | Titans +7 v. Chargers | 19-20 | Win | 100 | 17 h 22 m | Show | |
Tennessee vs. L.A. Chargers 9:30 ET at Wembley Stadium, London Titans (+) over Chargers- Don't be afraid here...it's a great spot for the Titans! San Diego (oops, Los Angeles has reeled off three straight wins and were very impressive in last weeks 38-14 trouncing of the Browns while Tennessee was totally humiliated 21-0 by Baltimore and it was not just the score. It was the was the Ravens just man-handled the Titans offensive line surrendering 11 quarterback sacks. The Chargers have to deal with a number of hurts and one of them is Melvin Gordon. Take TENNESSEE! |

10-20-18 | Arizona +8 v. UCLA | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 76 h 52 m | Show | |
Arizona at U.C.L.A. 10:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Bruins- Yeaaa for the Bruins, it's a tough thing for a football team to lose week in and week out especially when you are out-manned. UCLA is off their an impressive 37-7 win (their first) over California while the Wildcats were getting pasted by Utah 42-10 and it wasn't that close. For UCLA the pressure is off and they will be in their glory for this week while Arizona at 3-4 needs this one outright if they are to have any bowl aspirations. Laying any points by the Bruins against anybody right now is a mistake. Take ARIZONA! |

Houston at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Rockets- Well, it has been said for years that LeBron James can carry a team of nobodies to the NBA Finals and this season we will find out. Los Angeles took a hit in their opener losing to Portland while Houston with the addition of Carmelo Anthony did exactly what was expected. The Rockets who had the best record in the NBA last year got wasted in their opener as a 9-point favorite losing to New Orleans 131-112. The Rockets still don't play defense and the Lakers will have a raucous crowd support for this one. Take LA LAKERS! |

San Antonio at Portland 10:00 ET Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Both these clubs won their opener and enter 1-0 with the Spurs squeaking by Minnesota and the Trailblazers defeating the Lakers. San Antonio's new addition DeMar DeRozan had 28 points in his debut and coach Greg Popovich couldn't be happier with what he saw. The Blazers make some changes but kept their core with guards Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum who do the bulk of the scoring. The Spurs are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five at the Moda Center and get the money here. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

10-20-18 | Ohio State v. Purdue +12.5 | 20-49 | Win | 100 | 25 h 17 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Purdue 7:30 ET Boilermakers (+) over Buckeyes- No. 2 ranked Ohio State (7-0, 4-0) received some distracting news this week when Co-captain Nick Bosa announced that he has 'retired' from college football leaving his mates in the lurch one might think. Not really, Bosa is hurt and has been side-lined and most understood his decision but they have been winning without him. Purdue started slow losing in Big Ten action to Northwestern to start conference action but have come on strong of late. Boilermakers ranked 10th in the nation in total offense, are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings as hosts and they remember the last meetings a 56-0 beating. This one could get exciting, take the points...PURDUE! |

Oregon at Washington State 7:30 ET Cougars (-) over Ducks- After what happened with Oregon earlier in the year I still have a bad taste in my mouth thinking either with or against them. That was the Ducks only loss of the season after their overtime 30-27 win over Washington last week. Okay, so maybe now is the time to take advantage of strong trends that support 'our' position. Oregon is 0-4 straight-up and ATS after Washington and the Cougars are 8-0 ATS in their last eight meetings and are on a school record home winning streak. Take WASHINGTON STATE! |

10-20-18 | Fresno State v. New Mexico +13.5 | 38-7 | Loss | -106 | 25 h 57 m | Show | |
Fresno State at New Mexico 7:30 ET Lobos (+) over Bulldogs- Oh man, I like this game. I wouldn't mind being in Albuquerque to see this game up close as I think that are both quality clubs in a weak conference that will clash here. Both clubs will be well coached (Lobos 21-12 ATS w/ Bob Davie getting double-digits) and I consider them both 'go with' guys. But, they should play to each others talents and this game should be highly contested. New Mexico under Davis is 16-4 ATS with revenge. Take the LOBOS! |

10-20-18 | Mississippi State +7 v. LSU | 3-19 | Loss | -129 | 26 h 36 m | Show | |
Mississippi State at L.S.U. 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- Man oh man, what a spot to be in. Here you are off a huge 36-16 upset win over Georgia and now you have a visitor that spanked you last year 37-7 so revenge should be on your mind but... what does it mean with Alabama up next? This is the second of three straight at home games for the Tigers and the go from the 7-point underdog to a 7-point favorite. Mississippi State averages 6.0 yards per rushing attempt and lead the nation in fewest touchdowns allowed with seven in six games. ATS trends are all Tigers as Bulldogs are 0-7 ATS on road against higher ranked team. This week they ebb that flow. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

10-20-18 | Raptors v. Wizards +1 | Top | 117-113 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
Toronto at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Raptors- I'm sure that there will be an over-reaction to Toronto's quick 2-0 start and convincing win over the Celtics last night. Kawhi Leonard led the way last night with 31 points and 10 rebounds is bringing the Raptors into Washington where the Wizards lost their opener to Miami 113-112. This contest is a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference first round playoff series which Toronto won in six games. This time it's the home team. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
10-20-18 | NC State v. Clemson -16.5 | Top | 7-41 | Win | 100 | 22 h 16 m | Show |
N.C. State at Clemson 3:30 ET Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- Let me start by saying if I had not already posted my NCAA Blow-Out Game of the Year (Washington 28-7 winner) this would be it. Don't be sucked into taking an undefeated conference rival and all those points. It's a SUCKERS BET! Don't do it. The trends here will support the Wolfpack on numerous counts including they fact that they are 18-3 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye, that they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips here, the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight and to cap it off Clemson is 0-4 ATS in their last four at home. Well, why then...I guess THEY'RE DUE! Take CLEMSON! |
|||||||
10-20-18 | Cincinnati v. Temple -3 | Top | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 67 h 44 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Temple 12:00 ET Owls (-) over Bearcats- Here we go again...Jerry called! He's right! Last week he called and pointed out unranked USC as a 7-point favorite over a #17 ranked Colorado and won easily. This week he called to remind me that ranked and unbeaten #21 Cincinnati (6-0) comes to Temple as an underdog to the Scarlet Knights (4-2). If you are looking for answers or a rational explanation as to how this or that is going to happen or why, for that matter it is going to happen. But, it should! Maybe, some people of 'influence' in the Philadelphia area want the Owls to shine or maybe there are conditions and circumstances surrounding this game that we never be privy to. By the way the longer the wait the better the 'price' will be! Take TEMPLE! |

10-19-18 | Warriors v. Jazz +3 | Top | 124-123 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
Golden State at Utah 10:30 ET Jazz (+) over Warriors- Both of these clubs opened with a pair of unimpressive wins as Golden State defeated Oklahoma City 108-100 as a double-digit favorite at home while Utah won a lackluster 123-117 performance at Sacramento. Utah won three of their four meetings last season winning both home contest and the final three meetings. The Jazz consider themselves a tough defensive team and they will make 3-points difficult for the Champs. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
10-19-18 | Thunder v. Clippers +1 | 92-108 | Win | 102 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City at LA Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers over Thunder- both clubs opened the season with losses as the Thunder fell to Golden State 108-100 as a double-digit underdog playing without Russell Westbrook who in recovering from minor knee procedure. Los Angeles dropped their opener to Denver after holding a lead late if the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings but the structure of both teams this season has a dramatic changes. Look for LA to pull this one off. Take the CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
10-19-18 | Celtics v. Raptors -2.5 | 101-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Boston at Toronto 8:00 ET Raptors (-) over Celtics- These two clubs were the top teams in the East last season with Toronto posting the best record in the conference while Boston was just a step behind. This time around the Celtics are the favorites as LeBron James has left the East and has left these two to fight it out in the East. There are huge additions to both clubs as Gordon Hayward returns to the Celtics after missing the entire 2017-18 season while the Raptors have added Kawhi Leonard. Last season they split their four meeting each winning at home. I expect more of the same here as Boston is 0-6 ATS in their last six trips to Canada. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
10-19-18 | Hamilton v. Ottawa +1.5 | 31-35 | Win | 100 | 28 h 14 m | Show | |
Hamilton at Ottawa 7:30 ET Tigers-Cats (+) over RedBlacks- This is the first of back-to-back meetings between a pair of 8-7 clubs tied for the East Division lead. I understand that number never lie but that they can be very misleading. Hamilton enters this fray with more points scored and less points allowed but are 2-7 straight-up in the last nine meetings. Although the RedBlacks have the stats against them going 2-4 ATS in their last six home games while the Tigers-Cats are 5-2 straight-up in their last seven they win here. Take OTTAWA! |
|||||||
10-18-18 | Stanford v. Arizona State +3 | 20-13 | Loss | -120 | 27 h 7 m | Show | |
Stanford at Arizona State 9:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Cardinal- For the most part Herm Edwards and his Arizona State Sun Devils have been a huge surprise even at 3-3 and more so because they are 4-2 ATS. These two met last September with Stanford a 17-point favorite in a 34-24 win, this time they visit and are just a field goal favorite. With the return of Bryce Love one would expect the 'price' to be a little stiffer or maybe Love's injuries are not the issue but, the overall quality of the Cardinal offense might be. A pair of trends in 'our' favor has the underdog 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings and more importantly the Sun Devils are 6-0 ATS in their last six after a loss. Take ARIZONA STATE! |
|||||||
10-18-18 | Broncos v. Cardinals +2 | 45-10 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Denver at Arizona 8:20 ET Cardinals (+) over Broncos- Right now it seems difficult to figure how the Minnesota Viking won anything last year as both their quarterbacks are now playing with Denver and Arizona respectively. Case Keenum was moved to Denver after leading the Viking to the NFC Championship game while he had replaced the oft injured Sam Bradford who started the year with Arizona. Combined as this season their new clubs are 3-9. Add to the mix former Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy now works for Arizona who is last in the NFL in total yards (220.5) and rushing (64.0) while the Broncos are last in rushing defense. Although the Cardinals are 0-3 are home they are 2-1 ATS while Denver is 0-2 both SU and ATS on the road. Take ARIZONA! |

10-18-18 | Heat +5.5 v. Wizards | 113-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Miami at Washington 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Wizards- Miami opened their NBA season with a loss Wednesday at Orlando 104-101 as they had a terrible shooting night including 3-of-13 by Dwayne Wade. The Heat have the series advantage winning seven of the last nine meetings although they split their series two games apiece last season. Washington added Dwight Howard in the off season and I don't necessarily believe that is a good thing. Miami has the coaching advantage with Spoelstra over Scotty Brooks. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
10-17-18 | Wolves +2.5 v. Spurs | Top | 108-112 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
Minnesota at San Antonio 8:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Spurs- When thinking about what going on with these two clubs it's hard to imagine they finished the 2017-28 season with the exact same 47-35 record. We are all aware of the circus that Jimmy Butler has created for the Timberwolves while San Antonio had internal issues of their own when DeMar DeRozan was balking about being traded from Toronto. I am not a DeRozan fan and don't believe his presence makes the Spurs any better. I expect an angry and motivated Butler to be too much to handle. The last time they payed here the Spurs were -4.5 and this contest opened -1. Vegas feels the Wolves are at least 3-points better then last they met. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
10-16-18 | 76ers +5 v. Celtics | 87-105 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Boston 8:00 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- The thing I am most interested in seeing tonight is the play of Gordon Hayward who was injured and lost for the season less then five minutes into last year's opener. Boston eliminated the 76ers in last season playoffs winning 4-1 and going 4-1 ATS before falling to LeBron James and Cleveland 4-3. Not only have the Celtics had the Sixers number in the playoffs they have won 14 of their last 16 regular season meetings. Philly's Joel Embiid is making a play for MVP and if is to happen it starts here. Take the 76ers! |

10-15-18 | 49ers +9.5 v. Packers | 30-33 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
San Francisco at Green Bay 5:15 ET 49ers (+) over Packers- The Niners just can't seem to get it right. They were on the correct path trading for Jimmy Garoppolo and adding running back Jerick McKinnon and now they are among eight offensive player that were not able to practice this week. Green Bay is having injury troubles of their own and the biggest concern is about Aaron Rogers knee. Rogers claims he is okay but his performance has shown kinks in play. Somehow, the Niners get it done. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
10-14-18 | Jaguars v. Cowboys +3.5 | Top | 7-40 | Win | 100 | 23 h 22 m | Show |
Jacksonville at Dallas 4:25 ET Cowboys (+) over Jaguars- The Cowboys have been one of the least impressive teams on offense this season despite having the NFL's leading rusher in Ezekiel Elliott who has 480 ground yards. The obvious problem for Dallas in their quarterbacking and receiving. Dak Prescott has been exposed with his inaccurate throws and must keep drives alive with his legs. Jacksonville has QB issues of their own with Blake Bortles inconsistent play. With Leonard Fournette out once again the Dallas defense (one of the better ones) can stifle the Jaguars offense. Take DALLAS! |

10-14-18 | Rams v. Broncos +7 | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 21 h 28 m | Show | |
L.A. Rams at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos (+) over Rams- Denver did their thing last week in New York where the Jets our 'Money Game' winner as the Broncos looked pretty inept losing to a rookie quarterback. The Rams are now 5-0 after their 33-31 win over Seattle and come to Denver where they are always tough to deal with. The Broncos are 10-2-1 ATS as home dogs against NFL opponents and they a e 5-1 SU after three straight losses and they are 0-4-1 ATS on the season. They get their first cover here. Take DENVER! |

10-14-18 | Bucs +3.5 v. Falcons | 29-34 | Loss | -120 | 20 h 32 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Atlanta 1:00 ET Buccaneers (+) over Falcons- This is a battle of a pair of 'ugly' clubs that continue to disappoint their backers. Atlanta is 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games dating back to last season and are just 5-13 ATS at home against teams with a losing record. The falcons defense has been hit hard by injuries starting in the preseason and on offense Devonta Freeman is slowed by a nagging foot injury. But, the storyline here is the return to the starting lineup of Jamis Winston for Tampa Bay. The Bucs' future convict quarterback is anxious to play and get to shine against this porous defense. Take TAMPA BAY! |

10-14-18 | Colts +2.5 v. Jets | 34-42 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at New York Jets 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Jets- This game between two also-rans comes with a number of trends that support my side so I will use them this week (Ha...sometimes not). To start with the Jets are off a convincing 34-16 home win over Denver while the Colts have dropped their last three. But, the trends are overwhelming in favor of Indianapolis. Indy quarterback Andrew Luck is one of the best 'bounce-back' winners as he is 22-4 ATS off a straight-up and ATS loss including 13-0 SU and 12-1 ATS against teams with losing records. Add that the Jets are 11-29 ATS at home after a straight-up win. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

10-13-18 | Colorado v. USC -7 | Top | 20-31 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show |
Colorado at Southern California 10:30 ET Trojans (-) over Rockies- My good friend Jerry called to let me know that is a game that fits a certain criteria I have about ranked teams being favored against unranked teams. What we have here is an undefeated 5-0 #18 Colorado club that is visiting USC who they have never beaten 0-12. The Buffaloes are off a bye week and have had two weeks to gloat and pat each other on the back. This week they are up against a Trojan team that was off to a slow start and has began to put it together winning their last two conference games and are ready here. Add that Colorado is 1-6 ATS after a bye. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |
|||||||
10-13-18 | Wisconsin v. Michigan -9.5 | 13-38 | Win | 100 | 25 h 6 m | Show | |
Wisconsin at Michigan 7:30 ET Wolverines (-) over Badgers- Look out now here come the Wolves and they are looking to play a full season to atone for their opening week loss at Notre Dame. Michigan has won five straight since that opener including a 42-21 rout of Maryland last week. Even though Wisconsin has all the trends in their corner they don't pass the eye test as they struggled with Iowa (late gaffs by Hawkeyes who had lead late) and BYU reveals weaknesses. Trend wise they are now listen to this sTuff, 7-0 ATS in their last seven on road against team with winning record, 9-1-1 in the last 11 meetings and 4-1-1 ATS in last six in Michigan. Guess what it won't matter today. Oh yeah hey something for 'our' side, the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in last eight! Take MICHIGAN! |

10-13-18 | Michigan State +13.5 v. Penn State | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 21 h 2 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Penn State 3:30 ET Spartans (+) over Nittany Lions- Last Saturday, I was so confident with Michigan State (lost) that I forced the noon starting contest as my Free release (noon Early-Bird starts are 6-1 86%) normally I stay with the later starting national games and have had great success. The Spartans at 3-2 SU have been money burners 1-4 ATS while Penn State is 4-1 both SU and ATS. Despite losing 29-19 at home to Northwestern, being demoted to the unranked and allowing 373 yards passing but enter this contest with the No. 1 rushing defense (33.8 yards) in the nation. MSU is 4-1 straight-up against the Lions in the last five meetings. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |
|||||||
10-13-18 | Texas A&M v. South Carolina +2.5 | 26-23 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 30 m | Show | |
Texas A&M at South Carolina 3:30 ET Gamecocks (+) over Aggies- Now ranked #22 Texas A&M is moving up the latter and is getting better Muschamp as both were once coaching partners at LSU under Nick Saban. The balanced Aggies attack runs for 221 and throws for 270 while the Gamecocks can't match those impressive stats but South Carolina will have the return of quarterback Jake Bentley who miss last weeks win over Missouri with a knee injury. The Aggies off that emotional win defeating an unbeaten Wildcats team has them on a high. They return here and the fall hurts. Take the GAMECOCKS! |

10-13-18 | Central Florida v. Memphis +5.5 | Top | 31-30 | Win | 100 | 21 h 40 m | Show |
Central Florida at Memphis 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Knights- Do any of you guys remember last years shoot-out as Central Florida won and covered as the home favorite (-6.5) 62-55. Well, Scott Frost (0-5 at Nebraska) is gone and nothing has changed for the Knights as they are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS laying an average 26 points per game. Memphis is averaging over 46 points and is led by Brady White who is at 69.2 completions along with Darrell Henderson leads the ACC in rushing and averages 11.8 points per game. The home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 and the Knights are 1-4 ATS in their last five at Memphis. Take the TIGERS! |

10-13-18 | Saskatchewan v. Winnipeg -3.5 | Top | 0-31 | Win | 100 | 18 h 19 m | Show |
Saskatchewan at Winnipeg 2:00 ET Blue Bombers (-) over Roughriders- Saskatchewan has won seven of their last eight straight-up and now they show up as an underdog to the Blue Bombers who have won and 'covered' their last three. The Roughriders are 2-0 this season against the Bomber and winning in Winnipeg 32-27 as a 4-point dog. This time Bombers will avoid the 'Hat-Trick.' Take WINNIPEG! |

10-13-18 | Nebraska +4 v. Northwestern | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 72 h 18 m | Show |
Nebraska at Northwestern 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Wildcats- Okay what's going on here. The opening line on this matchup was Northwestern -9 and in one swoop the number dropped to 3.5 and that is mostly due fact (I believe) that the Cornhuskers (0-5) are ready to win. Nebraska has been able to move the ball of late gaining over 500 yards in each of their last two contests (first time since 2007 that they had back-to-back 500 yards on offense. Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez accounted for 441 total yards setting a freshman school record against Wisconsin and will lead this team to their first win of the season. Take NEBRASKA! |

10-11-18 | Eagles v. Giants +3 | 34-13 | Loss | -100 | 33 h 5 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at New York Giants 5:20 ET Giants (+) over Eagles- It appears the 'Super Bowl' hangover has affected the Eagles more harshly then most anticipated as they enter this contest 2-3 and 1-4 ATS. They are off a home loss to Minnesota and have yet to show any kind of run game and with Jay Ajaji sidelined the rest of the year they have signed Jamal Charles. Last week against Carolina, New York scored 30 points for the first since 2015 and have had some clearing of the air confrontations this week and expect more from both the offense and defense. This price is way too low...what the oddsmakers are saying is that this game is a Pick'em on a neutral site. Take NEW YORK! |

10-11-18 | Texas Tech v. TCU -7 | Top | 17-14 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
Texas Tech at Texas Christian 7:30 ET Horned Frogs (-) over Red Raiders- From what I've seen of these two clubs these 'price' is way high in my minds eye. Texas Tech is averaging 48.4 points per game and yet have a pair of losses to West Virginia and Mississippi (?). TCU is also 3-2 but has been totally unimpressive to date going 2-3 ATS with losses to Ohio State and Texas. The Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after a bye week and the Frogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four conference games. Trends all one sided and yet the line invites Tech action. No for me...take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

10-09-18 | Appalachian State v. Arkansas State +10.5 | 35-9 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Appalachian State at Arkansas State 8:00 ET Red Wolves (+) over Mountaineers- After an opening week loss to Penn State when Appalachian State (3-1, 4-0 ATS) blew a fourth quarter last minute lead and lost in overtime to the Lions. The Mountaineers have reeled off three wins since that disappointing loss and they are the 'public's' choice. Arkansas State (3-2, 1-4 ATS) is 2-0 at home but has yet to cover being heavy favorites in those contest whereas they are now a home underdog within conference play. The Red Wolves average 37.5 points at home and should stay within the 'number.' Take ARKANSAS STATE! |
|||||||
10-08-18 | Redskins v. Saints -6 | 19-43 | Win | 100 | 20 h 38 m | Show | |
Washington at New Orleans 8:15 ET Saints (-) over Redskins- The attention and storyline here will be Drew Brees passing some all-time record that he will continue to break with every attempt. New Orleans at 3-1 has actually under-achieved a bit but seemed to turn the corner in the second half against the ants in New York last week. The Redskins were a huge Megabucks winner for 'us' last week against Green Bay. Washington had two weeks to prepare as they were off their buy week and now must pay indoors where the Saints are at their best. Although the Redskins are 5-1 straight-up and 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings with the Saints favored so strongly here I'll lay it. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Arizona at San Francisco 4:25 ET 49ers (-) over Cardinals- Arizona is still winless (0-4) but have manged to 'cover' their last two at home while getting points from the Bears and Seahawks. This time they take to the road to play a division rival in San Francisco who have dropped their last two on the road. This will be a matchup of the new and the old as Josh Rozan takes the reins for the Cardinals while veteran C.J. Beathard took over for Garoppolo and threw for a career high 298 yards last week. The Niners are banged-up but have enough to come together at home here. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |

L.A. Rams at Seattle 4:25 ET Seahawks (+) over Rams- I don't know how I can even think of taking this 'side' as I believe the Seahawks are on the downslide while we all realize the Rams are the team to beat. Los Angeles is undefeated 4-0 and 3-1 ATS and have the betting darling from the get-go leading the NFL in scoring averaging 35-points per game. Seattle has put wins together over powerhouses Dallas and Arizona and is just 1-2-1 ATS but have allowed just 30 points in last two contests. Checking past history the Rams are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Seattle although they are just 1-6-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Still, somehow...take SEAHAWKS! |

10-07-18 | Packers v. Lions +1 | 23-31 | Win | 100 | 20 h 42 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Detroit 1:00 ET Lions (+) over Packers- I still say there is more to this Rogers injury then we are aware of, otherwise how does this line open with Green Bay favored by -1 against these guys. Detroit is 1-3 and already 1.5 games behind the Pack and a loss here would burry them. The Packers haven't won or covered in two road games and are prided to get beat here and the Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Matt Stafford will be on a 'personal' mission to win the matchup against Rogers...take DETROIT! |

10-07-18 | Titans v. Bills +5.5 | Top | 12-13 | Win | 100 | 20 h 33 m | Show |
Tennessee at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (+) over Titans- Okay, now that the 'public' has jumped on the Tennessee bandwagon it is time to tip the cart. After an opening week loss at Miami the Titans have won three streak including their win over the Super Bowl Champs Philadelphia last week and they come into the Bills den and the are angry. Buffalo has shutout 22-0 ay Green Bay and was humiliated in the process. This remember was a playoff team a season ago and pounded the Vikings three weeks ago. Buffalo is 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a loss. Take them here...take the BILLS! |
|||||||
10-07-18 | Ravens v. Browns +3 | Top | 9-12 | Win | 110 | 19 h 15 m | Show |
Baltimore at Cleveland 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Ravens- From what I've seen on the field Baltimore has been the most consistent and more professional in their approach to games and play. Cleveland is way improved on the field but still has the same personal running the show and he just doesn't know how to win! This has been a one-sided series with the Ravens winning 18 of the last 20 including 5-0 SU/ATS in the last five meetings, but with new quarterbacking behind No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield (the new Brett Favre) the Browns believe that they can turn the tide. Browns might surprise here as they have nothing but this game to look forward to. Take CLEVELAND! |

10-06-18 | Utah +4 v. Stanford | 40-21 | Win | 100 | 32 h 58 m | Show | |
Utah at Stanford 10:30 ET Utes (+) over Cardinal- Both clubs took it on the chin last week in different fashions. Utah was holding a 24-21 lead when Washington State scored on an 89-yard touchdown pass with 4-minutes left and sent Utah to their 2nd loss (Washington) yet still have the nation's No. 5 ranked defense. This is bad news for Stanford as injuries have slowed down Heisman Candidate Bryce Love who has been a non-factor. The Utes are 4-0 ATS on their last four games on grass and will dominate the line of scrimmage leading to an outright win. Take UTAH! |

Notre Dame at Virginia Tech 8:00 ET Hokies (+) over Fighting Irish- No. 6 Notre Dame is having dreams of an undefeated season and a FBS Final-4 berth. No. 24 Virginia Tech who opened the season with a dominating win over Florida state only to be upset by 27-point underdog Old Dominion as the lost their starting quarterback Josh Jackson. The Irish have made a change of their own at QB but voluntarily inserted in Ian Book place of Brandon Wimbush and Book has responded with 74.3% completions while throwing for 525 yards. The Hokies once again see this as an opportunity to crack the Top-10 and move up in the nation scene. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

10-06-18 | Auburn v. Mississippi State +4 | 9-23 | Win | 100 | 29 h 49 m | Show | |
Auburn at Mississippi State 7:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- I guess I 'jumped' on the Bulldogs a week early (lost to Florida outright) but that won't stop me from winning with them Saturday. The problem for Mississippi State of late has been the play of quarterback Nick Fitzgerald who is completing just 49% of his passes. New head coach Joe Moorhead got off to a good start 3-0 but has dropped his last two and needs to calm the home crowd lucky for him Auburn has other issues. The Tigers have Tennessee up next and are just 1-6 ATS the week before the Vols. Bulldogs bite here...take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

Nebraska at Wisconsin 7:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Badgers- My first instinct was that these Cornhuskers just don't have what it takes after their eighth straight home loss to Purdue. Nebraska is now 0-4 both SU and ATS had 584 yards on offense but were undermined by 13 penalties for 136 yards. They are now 1-9 straight-up in their last 10 and 1-9 ATS. Wisconsin has and an extra weeks rest but I don't think they had Nebraska on their minds. The Cornhuskers have out-gained three of their four opponents. This time they at least get the 'cover.' Take NEBRASKA! |

10-06-18 | Syracuse v. Pittsburgh +4 | 37-44 | Win | 100 | 13 h 34 m | Show | |
Syracuse at Pittsburgh 12:20 ET Panthers (+) over Orange- Syracuse laid it all on the line last Saturday as they held Clemson at bay until the final minutes until bowing to Clemson 27-23 allowing two touchdowns in the final quarter. Pittsburgh is in the mist of struggles on defense allowing 457.5 yards per game and have yet to pass for 200 yards in a game. But, it will be difficult for Orange coach Dino Babers to get his squad focused after such a disappointing loss and they can get ambushed here. Take PITTSBURGH! |

10-05-18 | Utah State +3 v. BYU | Top | 45-20 | Win | 100 | 27 h 52 m | Show |
Utah State at Brigham Young 9:00 ET Aggies (+) over Cougars- Okay, Kenny this one is yours! But, I'm on board 100%. When the season opened the Vegas odds-makers had little regard for BYU making them a 10-point dog at Arizona (Wildcats are terrible) and then a 23-point underdog at Wisconsin, but two road upset wins have changed their impression. Now, after losing in 'our' Blow-out' GOY (they were on the short end 35-7 to Washington) they come up a meager favorite at home against an intra-state rival. Utah State ( 3-1, 4-0 ATS) who has been a doormat for the most part as far as college football is concerned is averaging 51.5 points a game and is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips the BYU. Note this is a state rival and the underdog is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings. Take UTAH STATE! |

10-04-18 | Colts +10.5 v. Patriots | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at New England 8:20 ET Patriots (-) over Colts- My first impulse when I saw this line was 'Oh, Indy will cover that', then realizing there must be a reason the line was double-digits. This one is simple to me...can Andrew Luck throw the ball downfield? Because if he can't throw it they will not survive here as Belichick will swallow up the Colts offense. Is this not this what they do most seasons? The Pats blow a few games early, make a few adjustment and then dominate the opposition especially when they are holding the hammer. NE is 7-0 ATS in their last seven games at home against sub .500 teams. Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and finally New England is 7-0 SU and ATS in the last seven meetings. So yep, with all these trends backing the Patriots and the 'public' behind them at over 70% of the action I will digress and take the Colts. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

10-01-18 | Chiefs v. Broncos +4.5 | Top | 27-23 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Kansas City at Denver 8:20 ET Broncos (+) over Chiefs- Yep, what more can I or anyone say about Pat MaHomes! Kansas City has jumped out to a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS scoring 38-42-38 with Mahomes throwing for 10 TD's with no interceptions. Denver opened 2-0 with west coast wins over Oakland and Seattle but took it on the chin 27-14 back east at Baltimore. Now, the Broncos are on familiar grounds where the decibel level is a loud a any NFL stadium but, the Chiefs are 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five meetings and seem invincible right now. But, this is a tough spot for a division team on the road on Monday Night with all the attention of the football world on them. I have got to have...DENVER! |
|||||||
09-30-18 | Ravens +3 v. Steelers | 26-14 | Win | 100 | 31 h 51 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Pittsburgh 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over Steelers- It's going to be easy supporting 'our' side tonight as the Ravens have the edge over Pittsburgh in so many categories. To start with despite 'our' Power Play' winner with the Steelers Monday night this team has too many weaknesses starting with the defense and the overall team egos. Although Pittsburgh has won the last three meetings Baltimore is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and 3-0-1 ATS in their last four at Pittsburgh. This tells us that these two teams play tight ball games. The more I look at this game the more I like the Ravens to win. Take BALTIMORE! |

09-30-18 | Seahawks v. Cardinals +3.5 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 27 h 35 m | Show | |
Seattle at Arizona 4:05 ET Cardinals (+) over Seahawks- Two of the NFC's worst will go at it and as a former friend once told me, ''with the points their going to be a winner'. There are so many things that stand in my way here no in the least is that I am willing to take a quarterback making his first NFL start. That for the most part is a no-no but appears this season has been an exception with the early success of MaHomes, Darnold and Mayfield. Josh Rosen will get his opportunity Sunday for Arizona who need help (0-3) desperately. The Cardinals have the fewest points in the NFL with 20 but they will be up against an Seattle who is now an imposter who talent level has fallen drastic. The 'Red Birds' (hey, they were once in St. Louis) fly here and get their first win. Take ARIZONA! |

09-30-18 | Jets +9 v. Jaguars | 12-31 | Loss | -125 | 24 h 32 m | Show | |
New York Jets at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Jaguars- No way do I think that New York and Sam Darold will get the best of the Jaguars defense but there are two sides on the coin. I don't believe that the Jacksonville offense led by Blake Bortles with an injured Leonard Fournette will get the best the Jets defense. The Jags had only 232 yards of offense in the 30-21 victory over New England and New York has had extra time to reflect on their classless performance in their loss to the Browns 10-days ago. Extra days usually help teams prepare but with Bowles running the show it won't make much of a difference. Still. Jags off a win against the Pats and Jets to fly here and get the 'money.' Take the J-E-T-S! |

09-30-18 | Eagles v. Titans +4 | 23-26 | Win | 100 | 23 h 27 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Tennessee 1:00 ET Titans (+) over Eagles- Hey, what's goin on here. Tennessee who look like crap under new head coach Mike Vrabel the entire preseason and opening loss to Miami have won their last two and don't really care who their quarterback is. Marcus Mariota is leading the Titans offense witch won last week 9-6 without scoring touchdown although their offense is ranked just 29 amount the 32 teams their defense is No. 4 in points allow at 16.7. The Eagles rank 20th in total yards 341 and are surrendering 255 yards per game passing while Tennessee is 4-0 ATS in last four home games and home team is 4-1 ATS last five meetings. Take TENNESSEE! |

09-30-18 | Bucs +3 v. Bears | Top | 10-48 | Loss | -103 | 23 h 24 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Chicago 1:00 ET Buccaneers (+) over Bears- I understand the impact of the Bears defense and their power running game but they still have a major weakness and that is their quarterback play. The Chicago offense is limited because of the things Mitchell Trubisky can't do. Tampa Bay on the other hand most likely will go with their veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick with Jamis Winston in the wings. The games has before an air war and here the Bears are out-armed. Buccaneers have thrown for 1,202 yards while Chicago has managed just 534 yards through the air. Chicago has won their last two but the Bucs are 5-0 ATS in their last five against the NFC. Take TAMPA BAY! |

09-29-18 | Oregon v. California +2 | 42-24 | Loss | -107 | 31 h 55 m | Show | |
Oregon at California 10:30 ET Golden Bears (+) over Ducks- After a complete collapse in losing to Stanford last Saturday I don't see how the Ducks can physiologically be ready to do any of it. That was 'their' game, they were ready for it and blew out Stanford only to have 'stripes' step in and the games karma changed. The Ducks (0-4 ATS) went on to blow the game themselves. I believe that they have and carried 'it' with themselves all week. Going o the road won't help as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games on field turf. Note the home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Hold your breath and take the GOLDEN BEARS! |

09-29-18 | BYU v. Washington -16.5 | Top | 7-35 | Win | 100 | 29 h 32 m | Show |
Brigham Young at Washington 8:30 ET Huskies (-) over Cougars- Whoa...whoa! What's is this 'number' supposed to be? A pair of 3-1 clubs with mirror image ATS record with BYU 3-1 and Washington 1-3 ATS. This match-up makes me sweat as I hate to lay points like this but there are too many positive factors to ignore. The bad stuff is BYU is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and the Huskies are 0-4 in their last four non-conference games. Okay, that's out of the way and I don't care about it because this 'number' is so outrageous it takes precedence over everything. The Cougars have posted impressive wins over Arizona 28-23, Wisconsin 24-21 and last week 30-3 over McNeese State. And that's what going to hurt them. Washington had a toughie last week against Arizona State winning 27-20 but have won three straight since Auburn and are gaining momentum. I don't expect this price to rise but to drop. The fact that this is the FOX-TV game rises my expectations. Take WASHINGTON! |

09-29-18 | South Carolina v. Kentucky +1.5 | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 26 h 10 m | Show | |
South Carolina at Kentucky 7:30 ET Gamecocks (+) over Wildcats- Man, I can't believe that way both the 'public and wise guys have jumped on Kentucky. Then again the No. 17 Wildcats are 4-0 straight-up and yet they come up in a pick-em against a non-ranked SEC rival. This looks too easy to me, I mean Kentucky is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings (a dog in 4 of the five) and just upset Mississippi State as a 10-point underdog 28-7 and are barley favored at home. This smells to me! Okay, you want something to hang your hat on South Carolina is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six road games. Take the GAMECOCKS! |

09-29-18 | Florida v. Mississippi State -7 | 13-6 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 27 m | Show | |
Florida at Mississippi State 6:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Gators- It appears (so they say) that both clubs circled this date on their schedules because of the coaching move that was made between these two SEC competitors. Former Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen left Mississippi State after nine seasons and returned to Florida where he served as offensive coordinator for two National Championships in four years. Now, with the Gators he has some rebuilding to do although he is 3-1 this season. Mississippi State got caught looking ahead last week and were ambushed by Kentucky 28-7 while Florida was crushing a hapless Tennessee squad 47-21. Bulldogs haven't defeated Florida by more then seven points since 1992, so why now! I think the 'price' lends me toward Bulldogs especially after they got caught peeking last week. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

09-29-18 | Michigan v. Northwestern +15 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 8 m | Show | |
Michigan at Northwestern 4:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Wolverines- I know the Wildcats just lost their leading rusher, well he really hasn't had much of an impact on their ground game as it is but this Michigan defense surrenders just 14.2 points per contest. The Wolverines come steam rolling into Evanston posting three straight wins by a 150-33 margin while Northwestern after an opening win over Purdue they have dropped their last two games including a disappointing 39-34 loss to Akron. The Wolves have won 10 of the last 11 meetings overall but with two weeks to prepare and like their wounds the like the Wildcats chances. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

09-29-18 | BC v. Hamilton -7 | Top | 10-40 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
British Columbia at Hamilton 4:00 ET Tiger-Cats (-) over Lions- This line looks a little over inflated as Hamilton is just 6-7 and 5-6-1 ATS while BC is 6-6 and 7-4 ATS. The Tigers-Cats have dropped their last two and lost the first game of the series last week with the Lions winning 35-32 in OT at home. I see Hamilton getting a bit of revenge here as such a strong favorite in their own backyard. Lay the points and take HAMILTON! |

09-29-18 | Purdue v. Nebraska +3.5 | 42-28 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 26 m | Show | |
Purdue at Nebraska 3:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Boilermakers- Man oh man! Do I like this side! But, this game is in an obscure spot on the Saturday menu and I always prefer the 'Big Game' situation. Nebraska is an embarrassing 0-3 ATS and I mean embarrassing losing to Troy at home and down 49-0 at the half last week at Michigan. The Cornhuskers have now lost seven straight going 0-7 ATS in their last seven. Last week they were out-gained by 605 yards. I'be been right with Purdue the last two weeks so I feel comfortable taking a shot the Coach Frost who will have his club ready to play today. Take NEBRASKA! |

09-29-18 | Syracuse v. Clemson -23.5 | 23-27 | Loss | -114 | 73 h 14 m | Show | |
Syracuse at Clemson 12:00 ET Tigers (-) over Orange- Orange is right, no matter whose's side your on you will be covered in orange at Clemson Memorial Stadium. Both clubs are 4-0 and Syracuse has shown that they can play with the big boys by defeating Florida State 30-7 but their other competition has been suspect winning against Connecticut, Wagner and William & Mary while the Tigers have four four straight including a hair raising 28-26 win over Texas A&M. All that means nothing Saturday because this is al about 'revenge', yep good old fashion revenge for a 27-24 upset Syracuse win over the Tigers in the Dome. The last time the Orange were here the Tigers roared to a 54-0 victory. I see more of the same here. Take CLEMSON! |

09-28-18 | Toronto v. Calgary -13 | Top | 16-38 | Win | 100 | 76 h 40 m | Show |
Toronto at Calgary Stampeders (-) over Argonauts- Bad spot for Toronto as the Stampeders are off a bye and ready to make their late season push. The Argonauts who are 0-5 on the road are off a disappointing 30-29 loss to Saskatchewan while Calgary 6-0 at home are rested and have already pasted the Argos in June 41-7. Add that Toronto is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 Friday games. Take CALGARY! |

09-28-18 | UCLA +10 v. Colorado | 16-38 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
UCLA at Colorado 9:00 ET Bruins (+) over Buffaloes- This is without question the weakest UCLA team that I have seen in my lifetime. Granted they are young and have a new head coach in Chip Kelly but their only 'cover' was in a 49-21 loss to Oklahoma with a 'back-door cover' as a 31-point underdog. The Bruins to their defense have lost to a couple of under-rated clubs in Fresno State and Cincinnati but they weren't even close when the final score was posted. Colorado is 3-0 both straight-up and ATS with wins over Colorado State (very weak this season), Nebraska (who have their worse team in over 50 years) and powerhouse New Hampshire. Upon series review we see that the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. We will need a little luck and a few whistles at the right time. Take UCLA! |

09-27-18 | Vikings +7.5 v. Rams | 31-38 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Minnesota at L.A. Rams 8:20 ET Vikings (+) over Rams- Well, that was one hell-of-a wake-up call that the Bills laid on Minnesota Sunday jumping out to a 27-0 half-time lead. In the meantime the Rams got no time for bullshit as they just went out and took command against their cross-town rival (really) Chargers leading to their third cover in three games. The Vikings were the NFC favorite when they acquired Kirk Cousins and have started slowly wining just one of three with a tie at Green Bay. I expect Minnesota to be a little more focused this week and play the Rams tough. Although the favorite is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings Minnesota is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take the VIKINGS! |
