11-19-17 | Chiefs v. Giants +11 | 9-12 | Win | 100 | 19 h 1 m | Show | |
Kansas City at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Chiefs- Ha, try and make something up for this one. Let's see...The Chiefs are #5 in total offense and Andy Reid is 16-2 off a bye week or that they are 7-1 ATS after an ATS loss. Okay, let me think their must be more, oh yeah, the Giants, 1-8 straight-up and one of the most embarrassing displays of football this season no hustle no fight no pride without question the worst Giants team in my lifetime. New York when from being one of the top defensive team last season to #31 out of 32. New York is 0-4 both straight-up and ATS at home and that ends here. Somehow..its the GIANTS! |

11-18-17 | Missouri v. Vanderbilt +9.5 | 45-17 | Loss | -115 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
Missouri at Vanderbilt 7:30 ET Commodores (+) over Tigers- The Commodores opened the season with three straight wins including a 14-7 win over Kansas State but have dropped their last six of their last seven and are winless (0-6) in the SEC. Missouri started poorly losing five straight after a Division-II win over Missouri State 72-43, but have rebounded four four straight wins and six straight 'covers' averaging 53.8 points in their four wins. Vanderbilt has held opponents passing yardage under 200 per contest and that will keep this one close enough to get the money. Take VANDERBILT! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | UCLA +16 v. USC | 23-28 | Win | 100 | 23 h 15 m | Show | |
U.C.L.A. at Southern California 8:00 ET Bruins (+) over Trojans- What is going on with this UCLA team? They open the season with a huge comeback win over Texas A&M but have been one of the worst 'takes' this season going 1-6 ATS in seven straight before last weeks win over Arizona State. I don't know about anybody else but I believe Southern California is vastly over-rated and their 3-7 record ATS backs that up. If San Darnold is the first quarterback picked in the NFL Draft it will be because no other QB's are in the draft. UCLA is averaging 6.5 yards per play but are a horrid 0-5 both straight-up and ATS on the road this season. This time they get the money. Take UCLA! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Celtics v. Hawks +7 | Top | 110-99 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Boston at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Celtics- Boston should be feeling really good about themselves after their comeback win over Golden State to extend their winning streak to 14 games. Some might think that the Celtics got the benefit of 'home court' officiating as they attempted 18 more free throws then the Warriors in their Thursday's 92-88 victory. Oh, well that's been the storyline forever in the NBA. This version of the Hawks has shown little to brag about as they are 3-12 on the season but they won their first home game 126-80 over Sacramento which was the largest margin of victory in franchise history. The Celtics should be a little flat here as the Hawks soar. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Texas A&M v. Ole Miss +1.5 | 31-24 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 27 m | Show | |
Texas A&M at Mississippi 7:00 ET Rebels over Aggies- Texas A&M quarterback Nick Starkel broke his ankle in the season opener against UCLA and has returned in record setting fashion throwing for 416 yards and four touchdowns last week against New Mexico. But, Mississippi has some quarterback number of their own as Jordan Ta'amu totaled five touchdowns and 431 yards and has scored on 95% of his Red Zone possessions. The Rebels are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take MISSISSIPPI! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Princeton +4 v. St. Joe's | Top | 58-71 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
Princeton at St. Josephs 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Hawks- My first impression without know who plays for who is that the Atlanta-10 should be favored over and Ivy League school. Now, St. Joes' is 1-1 after opening with a loss against Toledo and then defeating powerhouse Illinois-Chicago on the road. Now, the return home for their 'home opener and host Ivy power Princeton. The Tigers are 0-2 both straight-up and ATS losing to at Butler and at home as a beaten favorite against Brigham Young. It's a matter of numbers especially early in the season. The Hawks are way to small a favorite to be taken seriously here. The Tigers roar off with their first win. The difference in competition played is huge. Take PRINCETON! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Georgia Tech v. Duke +7 | 20-43 | Win | 100 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
Georgia Tech at Duke 3:30 ET Blue Devils (+) over Yellow Jackets- I feel very comfortable coming against the Engineers here as 'we' used them in as one of our 'Early-Bird' winners over Virginia Tech and I expect a small letdown here on the road. Georgia Tech needs to win one of their last two final games to become bowl eligible and they have Georgia on deck and will be under pressure on the road where they are 0-3 straight-up. Duke needs to win their final two after bowing to Army 21-17 their sixth straight loss. The Blue Devils will do it on defense allowing just 333 yards per game and will be able to slow down the Yellow Jackets enough to at least 'cover.' Take DUKE! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Mississippi State v. Arkansas +13 | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 20 h 12 m | Show | |
Mississippi State at Arkansas 12:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Bulldogs- Mississippi State (+14) was in their battle of the season last week winning for 'us' as a Power Play Best Bet winner against Alabama 24-31, and they left their heart and game on the field. It is difficult for me to comprehend just how bad the Razorbacks (4-6) are and how far they have fallen under head coach Bret Bielema going just 11-27 in SEC games. Arkansas will start Austin Allen at quarterback following Cole Kelley's suspension. The Bulldogs have arch-rival Mississippi on deck and that is now their priority as they get caught looking ahead. Take ARKANSAS! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | TCU v. Texas Tech +6 | 27-3 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 5 m | Show | |
Texas Christian at Texas Tech 12:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Horned Frogs- We all know that on any given day TCU will just shut down and run over Texas Tech as the Red Raiders don't play any kind of defense and the Horned Frogs should dominate play. The Horned Frogs understand that their playoff dream has ended off their 38-20 Oklahoma beating. So shook up is TCU head coach Gary Patterson that he is making a change at quarterback. Frogs will be 'down' this week and Red Raiders averaging 38 points at home will possibly pull off the outright upset. Take TEXAS TECH! |
|||||||
11-18-17 | Texas +3.5 v. West Virginia | 28-14 | Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show | |
Texas at West Virginia 12:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Mountaineers- The 'numbers' just don't add up. I mean here is West Virginia 7-3 on the season 4-1 at home both straight-up and ATS hosting a 5-5 Texas team. Now, if you consider the 'home' field advantage to be at least 4-points in college football the Vegas oddsmakers would have this game a pick-em at a neutral site. The Mountaineers average 44 points per game at home while the Longhorns average just 21.5 on the road, and yet W. VA is only favored by little more then a field goal. This doesn't seem right...take TEXAS! |
|||||||
11-17-17 | UNLV +2.5 v. New Mexico | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 25 h 5 m | Show | |
U.N.L.V at New Mexico 9:30 ET Rebels (+) over Lobos- Hard to believe that the last win New Mexico posted was in September when we had them over Air Force a 56-38 win. Since that victory it has been 0-5 both straight-up and ATS and now they are a small home favorite over inconsistent UNLV. The Rebels have lost outright as a 45-point favorite and defeated Fresno State as a 22-point underdog. I do know that UNLV has three players that will be playing on Sunday's before their careers are done while New Mexico can muster just 135 per game passing while averaging only 20.3 points per contest while surrendering 31 a game. Take UNLV! |
|||||||
11-17-17 | Wolves v. Mavs +7 | 111-87 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Timberwolves- It is always difficult to rationalize taking Dallas (2-13) the NBA's worst team when posting a winner. The Mavericks are just 1-7 st home and have lost their last three and are actually an atrocious 4-11 ATS. Minnesota has already posted a 112-99 win over the Mavericks November 4th as Karl-Anthony Towns had 31 points and 12 rebounds. Although Minnesota is 5-1 straight-up on the road they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to Dallas. Take the MAVERICKS! |
|||||||
11-17-17 | Heat +5.5 v. Wizards | Top | 91-88 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
Miami at Washington 7:00 ET Heat (+) over Wizards- This is the second of back-to-back meetings as the Wizards were able to win 102-93 in Miami on Wednesday. Washington's back court duo of John Wall and Bradley Beal took command against the Heat scoring 53 points as they outscored the South Beach Boys by 16 points at the free throw line. This time around the Heat will go inside to Hassan Whiteside who is averaging 16.3 points and 15.8 rebounds since returning to the lineup. Miami won both contests in Washington last year and they are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 trips to D.C. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
11-17-17 | Pistons v. Pacers +1 | 100-107 | Win | 102 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Detroit at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers over Pistons- After starting the past two seasons in horrid fashion Detroit has joined (at least for now) respectability as they won five straight raising their record to 10-3 before their road loss at Milwaukee Wednesday. At the sane time the Pacers lost five straight before their win over the Grizzlies at Memphis. The Pistons already posted a home win over Indiana 114-97 two weeks ago and now turn-about is expected. The Pacers have won and 'covered' five straight meetings as hosts and get it done tonight. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
11-16-17 | Titans v. Steelers -7 | 17-40 | Win | 100 | 24 h 25 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Pittsburgh 8:25 ET Steelers (-) over Titans- It isn't very often that a pair of teams with four-game winning streaks meet during the regular season but these two playoff bound clubs (so it appears) clash in the Steel City Thursday night. For Pittsburgh at 7-2 with five of their last seven games at home seem to be in the drivers seat so to speak. Ben Roethlisberger knows how to win coming back from down 14 at Indianapolis last week while the Titans also found a way to win late against the league thugs (Cincinnati) 24-20. Tennessee just isn't the same on the road going 1-3 ATS while scoring just 36 points combined in their last three as visitors. Not good going into Pittsburgh. Take the STEELERS! |
|||||||
11-15-17 | Cavs v. Hornets +2.5 | Top | 115-107 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Cleveland at Charlotte 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Cavaliers- 'King James' (see Knicks Kanter) will try and rule over Charlotte once again as Cleveland has beaten the Hornets six straight times and in 10 of the past 11 meetings. The 'Queen City' (King George's wife) club has lost their last four but are 4-1 straight-up and ATS at home. The Cavaliers we all know have been struggling and are just 1-5-1 ATS against teams with losing records. The Hornets will have the benefit of Nic Batum's debut tonight and his added offense will help push them over the top. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
11-15-17 | Pacers +4 v. Grizzlies | 116-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Indiana at Memphis 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Grizzlies- A pair of middle-of-the-roaders matchup in Memphis where the Pacers will try and win for the first time in five tries. Indiana is 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings and have lost five of their last six overall and are just 3-5 SU on the road 4-4 ATS this season. The Grizzlies started the season 4-2 but have dropped four of their last seven and are playing either with an ailing Mike Conley or without hime completely. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
11-14-17 | Spurs v. Mavs +6.5 | 97-91 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Spurs- Dallas has been absolutely dreadful both straight-up (2-12) and ATS 3-11 and the catch San Antonio as they are starting to find their rhythm. It is so bad for the Mavericks that they are just 1-6 both straight-up and ATS at home. The are so bad even against the 'number' as they are also 1-10 ATS when playing with just one-days rest. But, there is one trend that hits the Spurs hard and that is San Antonio is just 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
11-14-17 | Raptors +6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 129-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
Toronto at Houston 8:00 ET Raptors (+) over Rockets- The Rockets have blasted off and have now won six in-a-row all without point guard Chris Paul. During this streak Houston is averaging 120.2 points with James Harden leading the way in the past six games with 35.8 points per games along with 11.5 assists. Toronto is 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall but will be on point tonight. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
11-14-17 | Celtics v. Nets +7.5 | 109-102 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Boston at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Celtics- Downs goes Hayward...two losses and then an adjustment. The Celtics have rebounded since what many thought would be an injury that would destroy their season. Brad Stevens has his crew on a 12-game winning streak with Al Horford leading the way near the basket. Kyrie Irving has been the on-floor leader but will most likely be sidelined tonight with his facial fracture. Boston is doing it with defense allowing a league low 94 points per contest. The Nets are a much improved club and are 3-2 straight-up at home and get it done tonight. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
11-14-17 | Michigan State +2.5 v. Duke | 81-88 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Michigan State vs Duke 7:00 ET Spartans (+) over Blue Devils-What a great way to tap-off the NCAA basketball season but to have the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 teams face-off in Chicago. Of course Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski will have Grayson Allen along with four 'fresh' faces starting looking for their 7th straight win in this series which they lead 11-2. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has an experienced club that has an edge over the youthful Blue Devils. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |
|||||||
11-13-17 | Dolphins v. Panthers -8.5 | 21-45 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Miami at Carolina 8:30 ET Carolina (-) over Dolphins- The matchup should end up the 'perfect storm' for Carolina as the NFL's No. 1 defense which allows just 274 yards a game up against the NFL's worst scoring offense of the Dolphins which scores just 14.5 points per game. This game should be fun for the Panthers are they line up against Jay Cutler and look to add to their 29 sacks already this season. Cam Newton shines on Monday Nights who has thrown 11 TD passes and two rushing touchdowns on MNF. Take CAROLINA! |
|||||||
11-13-17 | Grizzlies +4 v. Bucks | 103-110 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Memphis at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Bucks- Whenever Milwaukee plays most eyes are on Giannis 'Greek Freak' Antetokounmpo but there is a new factor that has aided the Bucks in the newly acquired Eric Bodsoe. They had dropped four straight and five of six before the guard came aboard. The Grizzlies have dropped four the their last six and are off a loss to Houston 111-96 Saturday. Memphis is 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Take the GRIZZLIES! |
|||||||
11-13-17 | Cavs v. Knicks +5.5 | 104-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Cleveland at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Cavaliers- Now really, who would have thought or would believe that the Knicks would be better then .500 and Cleveland would be below .500 after a dozen games. They meet at Madison Square Garden tonight where New York is 6-2 both straight-up and ATS this season but the Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings in New York. Cleveland is 0-6-1 ATS at home but 4-2 ATS on the road but the Knicks are 4-0 ATS in their last four at home. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Patriots v. Broncos +8.5 | Top | 41-16 | Loss | -130 | 26 h 53 m | Show |
New England at Denver 8:30 ET Broncos (+) over Patriots- How, awful were the Broncos last week, I mean really, that makes four straight losses where they weren't even competitive starting with losing to the pitiful Giants at home. There is really very little for me to say about New England, Tom Brady...blah blah blah, Bellichick Blah Blah Blah. I know. This is one of those I can't explain games, because one team is so much better then the other. Brock Osweiler has come full circle getting the starting nod will help because Siemian was God-awful. New England will control the ball and the scoreboard and see to it that Denver is always in striking distance. Take the BRONCOS! |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Giants v. 49ers +3 | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 22 h 31 m | Show | |
New York Giants at San Francisco 4:25 ET 49ers (+) over Giants- In my entire life in this 'business' when I witness a professional team quit in a game I always look to 'play-on' them the following week because the are 'professionals' and they suck it up. But, I don't believe that is the case with these New York Giants not only did they quit in a game, but on the season and their teammates and just not even care. New York coaching may be the worst in football and this team (the players) aren't a bit embarrassed. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Cowboys v. Falcons -3 | 7-27 | Win | 100 | 21 h 26 m | Show | |
Dallas at Atlanta 4:25 ET Falcons (-) over Cowboys- Believe it or not I would like Atlanta even stronger if Ezekiel Elliott was playing as my only fear here is that the Cowboys circle the wagons so to speak. Atlanta has been a disaster and we have played out fair share against them but this is a big spot for them in their season and the Super Bowl hang-over should be about over. Falcons started 3-1 but have dropped four of their last five going 0-5 ATS but, the tide turns today. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Texans +13 v. Rams | 7-33 | Loss | -120 | 22 h 32 m | Show | |
Houston at L.A. Rams 4:05 ET Texans (+) over Rams- Don't go overboard in what you saw last week out the Rams (51-points) against the once proud New York Giants. Granted, Los Angeles has become a force in the NFC West but any Division II club word have put up more resistance. It was as if they had two straight bye weeks and now their be facing a desperate bunch who are trying to recover from quarterback heartbreak. Here are a few trends to try and help support my case, LA is 1-5 ATS against teams with a losing record and the Texans are 3-0 ATS on the road this season. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Jets v. Bucs +2.5 | Top | 10-15 | Win | 100 | 18 h 21 m | Show |
New York Jets at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Buccaneers (+) over Jets- All summer day after day after day I hear who bad the Jets were...'they might not win a game', the Browns and Niners have improved but not the Jets. Well, they are not going to the Super Bowl but New York has won four games and are favored here in their 10th. But, the storyline here is not that they are favored on the road but that their former quarterback who holds the New York Jets franchise record touchdown passes 31 Ryan Fitzpatrick is playing for Tampa Bay as they are lucky enough to have 'Shameless' Winston is sidelined. Oddly enough, Josh McCown as a Tampa Bay QB went 1-10 as a starter. Take TAMPA BAY! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Magic v. Nuggets -8 | 107-125 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Orlando at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Magic- This is the final game of a six game home stand where the Nuggets have won four of five and hope to extend their dominance in this series. Denver is 11-5-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings and are 10-4 ATS as hosts in the last 14 meetings. Orlando defeated the Suns 128-112 Friday night but will find the 'Mile-High' air more difficult to deal with especially after a game last night. This 'number' seems a tad high and I believe the odds makers are looking to force you to take the points...DON'T. Lay it with DENVER! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Cavs v. Mavs +6 | Top | 111-104 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
Cleveland at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Cavaliers- Has LeBron already left Cleveland? By the looks of their current run and overall play it is hard to see James saving the Cavaliers who have lost six of their last eight. (The worst stretch since the return of 'King James'). Dallas at 2-10 is overall and just 1-5 both straight-up and ATS at home but Cleveland is just 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Dallas and just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall. Mavericks rookies sensation Dennis Smith Jr. is picking up the slack as aging super-star Dirk Nowitzki has scored in single figures in each of the last three games. Still, the Cavaliers are in a funk. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Notre Dame v. Miami-FL +3.5 | Top | 8-41 | Win | 100 | 25 h 23 m | Show |
Notre Dame at Miami 8:00 ET Hurricanes (+) over Fighting Irish- Undefeated Miami-FL is once again an underdog at home and they are just going to have to go out and repeat what happened last week when Virginia Tech came to town and got beat down. This match-up along with the SEC Georgia/Auburn matchup are the 'prime' games among a slue of great games Saturday. Most of us are aware of the storyline history of these two schools where Notre Dame has an 18-7-1 series advantage, but the Hurricanes have won the last five in Miami. Contrast in styles here as the Irish will run the ball every chance they get and Miami will have to throw the ball in order ti win. At home...it's the HURRICANES! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Kings +6 v. Knicks | 91-118 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Sacramento at New York 8:05 ET Kings (+) over Knicks- The Kings started the season 1-8 but have rebounded with two straight wins both of which came at home and now travel to New York to play the Knicks and they are just 1-5 straight-up and 1-4-1 ATS. New York is 5-2 both straight-up and ATS at Madison Square Garden but are just 3-7 ATS against Sacramento at home. The Knicks lost at Orlando last time out with their budding 'Super-star' Kristaps Porzingis who should return tonight. Sometimes 'less is more' as the Kings with be without aging veteran Vince Carter which will allow more playing time for their talented youth. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Alabama v. Mississippi State +14 | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 24 h 11 m | Show | |
Alabama at Mississippi State 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Crimson Tide- Okay. So, Alabama is No. 2 allowing just 9.8 points per game but last weeks opponent had more yards on offense then the Tide and it looks as though they have the same issues on offense although they do average 41 points per. Last season 'Bama won their ninth straight in this series 51-3 gaining 615 yards. But, that was last season and this season Mississippi State is ranked 11th nationally in rushing offense (259) but have almost as many interceptions (10) and TD passes (13) and they rank 7th nationally in total defense. Being at home will help as the Bulldogs look to control the ball as they hosts are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | USC v. Colorado +14 | 38-24 | Push | 0 | 20 h 27 m | Show | |
Southern California at Colorado 4:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Trojans- USC is one of the most under-achieving teams in the country along with their quarterback Sam Darnold who is so disappointed in his own play that he most likely will return to the Trojans next season when they have a chance at the championship ring. Right now even the most dedicated USC fans would be happy with the Rose Bowl. Colorado is another middle of the roader that needs to win either this week or next week at Utah to become bowl-eligible. The Trojans are 11-0 all-time against Colorado but the Buffs are 3-1 ATS in the last four and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take COLORADO! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Georgia v. Auburn +3 | Top | 17-40 | Win | 100 | 21 h 58 m | Show |
Georgia at Auburn 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- “Oh Lordy” would I love to be in Jordan-Hare Stadium for this smash mouth SEC affair. No. 1 Georgia has it on both sides of the ball and has dominated the Tigers at Auburn winning seven of the last 10 outright. Yet, the nation's top-ranked team is favored by less then a field goal. Now, with the understanding that the Tigers are ranked No. 10 and have scored over 40 points in each of their last five games (tying a school record). The Bulldogs won 13-7 last season in Athens without scoring a touchdown. This time it won't matter. Take AUBURN! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Iowa v. Wisconsin -11.5 | 14-38 | Win | 100 | 20 h 10 m | Show | |
Iowa at Wisconsin 3:30 ET Badgers (-) over Hawkeyes- Okay let me look at this from a distance...alright far enough. Wisconsin is aware must 'win out' in order to be considered for the Final-4 and even then there are those that say they won't get in. So, here comes Iowa here comes winners of their last two including a 55-14 trouncing of Ohio State last week and that's the rub. They just killed Ohio State and now they travel to Camp Randell in Madison where the Badgers are 5-0. Iowa is 5-0 ATS in their last five visits but this is a different scenario. Take WISCONSIN! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Virginia Tech v. Georgia Tech +3 | 22-28 | Win | 100 | 20 h 10 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech 9:20 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Hokies- Very happy after playing against imposter Virginia Tech with my 'Major Shocker' winner 28-10 Miami-Fl last week. I say imposter even though the Hokies have only lost to Clemson and Miami-FL. who are 16-1 between them while three of Georgia Tech's losses have come by a combined six points. With their 'bubble-burst' after last weeks loss, Virginia Tech will have difficulty getting it together to try and defense Paul Johnson's offense. Take YELLOW JACKETS! |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Michigan State v. Ohio State -16 | 3-48 | Win | 100 | 20 h 0 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Ohio State 12:00 ET Buckeyes (-) over Spartans- Let me start by saying if this game was being played in Prime-time it could be on the top of my list. There is so much that doesn't seem right. Okay, both teams are 7-1 (5-1) and can make it to the Big Ten Championship game if the win out. We all understand that Ohio State has been under achieving this season while I would say the Spartans after winning just three games last season are over-achievers. If you are numbers guy these are so one-sided that when I see the line on this contest I have to smile. In the last six meetings the road team is 6-0 ATS and the Buckeyes are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 home games. But, to counter OSU is averaging 45 points per games while Michigan State produces just 25 points per contest and finally the Spartans are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. In a BLOWOUT...OHIO STATE! |
|||||||

Florida at South Carolina 12:00 ET Gators (+) over Gamecocks- What is more embarrassing the UCLA basketball team or the Florida Gators (3-5) football team. The Bruins haven't lost a game yet, a few players, yes, while Florida has lost five straight and had to dismiss their coach for 'fake newsing' death threats. South Carolina is getting back into bowl action with a 6-3 (4-3) record but realize they have no shot at the SEC East. Florida interim coach Randy Shannon (formerly of Miami-FL) will start quarterback Malik Zaire for the second straight week and he will have his game face on. Gators will regroup and suck it up here against a beatable foe. Take FLORIDA! |

11-10-17 | Washington v. Stanford +6.5 | Top | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show |
Washington at Stanford 10:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Huskies- Washington has won their last two after their shocking 13-7 loss to Arizona State coming off last weeks 38-3 win over Oregon. Stanford at 6-3 and having a disappointing season after last week loss to Washington State can actually make it to the PAC-12 title game with a win here and with the Huskies upsetting the Cougars two weeks from now. It is plausible and the Cardinal need just to win here first. A few notes: Washington is 1-9 ATS off a double-digit ATS win and Stanford is 7-0 ATS a conference home dogs of 4 or more points and they are 11-2 ATS after a conference loss. Getting points is a bonus. Take STANFORD! |

11-10-17 | BYU +4.5 v. UNLV | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show | |
BYU at UNLV 10:30 ET Cougars (+) over Rebels- BYU has had their problems this season and have just lost their quarterback Tanner Mangum is out for the remainder of the season but that might not be such a bad thing. BYU is 16-3 in this series including 8-0 straight-up in Las Vegas. UNLV has won their last two and have had some exciting moments on offense but have yet to make tackle as their defense can be had by the worst offenses. The Rebels who are not used to winning are just 2-9 ATS after a two straight victories. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |

11-10-17 | Magic v. Suns +4 | Top | 128-112 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
Orlando at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over over Magic- Phoenix who started the season with the worst opening day loss in NBA history had a brief rebound winning 4-of-7 but have now lost their last four both straight-up and ATS. Gone is Eric Bledsoe to Milwaukee who played only one game for the Suns and left 21-year old guard Devin Booker to run the show. Phoenix has won four straight meetings until Orlando won during their last trip to the desert. It's just a good time and spot for the Suns. Take PHOENIX! |

11-10-17 | Bucks +5.5 v. Spurs | 94-87 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at San Antonio 9:00 ET Bucks (+) over Spurs- Despite a number of injuries San Antonio has managed to win their last three and are 5-1 both straight-up and ATS at home and are gearing for their fifth straight home game. The Bucks hope to have Eric Bledsoe ready to go tonight and with his outside shooting ability it should take the premier pressure off the 'Greek Freak.' Giannis Antetokounmpo is of course one of the top players in the league but he does have one short coming. The 'Freaks' outside shot is not the best (still better then the Lakers' Ball) and having Bledsoe there relieves the pressure. Take MILWAUKEE! |

11-10-17 | Heat +4 v. Jazz | 84-74 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
Miami at Utah 9:00 ET Heat (+) over Jazz- The Utah Jazz have had a home floor advantage has been second to none for years and right now that are in the mist of a 3-game home losing streak. Poor shooting and poor defense are key factors as Utah has surrendered 116.7 points allowed in those three losses.With the return of Hassan Whiteside the Heat now have the shot-blocking center ready and that opens to premier for Goran Dragic who has taken over outside. The Heat are much better then most realize and will win here. Take MIAMI! |

11-10-17 | Temple v. Cincinnati +3 | 35-24 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Temple at Cincinnati 7:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Owls- Oh how I hate this side. Let me be truthful in all my years in the business there is one school above all other that has disappointed me at time when they were needed and no one has done it more to me then U. Cincinnati. I don't know what it is going back to the Oscar Robertson and Jack Twyman days, to Kenyon Martin and their recent football shortfalls. Temple who need to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible after their upset win over Navy won last years' meeting 34-13 out-gaining Cincinnati 474-186. The Bearcats (3-6) had lost five straight before getting by Tulane 17-16 last week on a missed field goal attempt from the 26-yard line as time ran out and yet the Owls are favored by less then a field goal here. Line smells...I'll take my chances with CINCINNATI! |

Oklahoma City at Denver 10:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Thunder- So, the NBA 'experts' believe that Oklahoma City who is struggling at 4-6 to find a fit with Carmelo Anthony and Paul George will mess at one time or another this season. Yeah, just like the Knicks messed with Anthony. Russell Westbrook is his same exciting self but with Anthony's 'stop-and -shoot' offense to deal with the offensive flow has stooped. The Thunder has had command in this series winning nine straight meetings until the season's final game last year in Oklahoma City. Maybe down the line but, right now play against OKC. Take DENVER! |

11-09-17 | Seahawks v. Cardinals +6.5 | Top | 22-16 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
Seattle at Arizona 8:25 ET Cardinals (+) over Seahawks- I'm really not to 'high' on either of these teams except that without any doubt the Seahawks have the better quarterback in Russell Wilson. Drew Stanton the 33-year old veteran will start for Arizona and he has stepped in to 'cover' for Palmer before. As bad as I believe the Cardinals are they actually have 'life' with Adrian Peterson gaining yards in chunks and the fact that they play tough in Division games going 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight against NFC West rivals. Seahawks shot themselves in the foot leading the NFL in penalties having committed 41 in the past three games. Note the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take ARIZONA! |

11-09-17 | Pelicans +5.5 v. Raptors | 118-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Toronto 7:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Raptors- It appears that the duo of Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins have turned New Orleans into a contender as they own a winning record for the first time since 2014-15. Toronto is off to a decent start (6-4) but I can't help remembering what I saw in the NBA Playoffs from the Raptors last season as they rely on the guard play of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry while their defense suffers allowing opponents to shot 45% from the field. The Pelicans who are 5-2 on the road are two strong up front and get the money here. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

11-09-17 | North Carolina +9.5 v. Pittsburgh | 34-31 | Win | 100 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Pittsburgh 7:30 ET Tar Heels (+) over Panthers- What a terrible season has it been for North Carolina. The Tar Heels opened the season as a 13-point favorite against California and lost outright at home 35-30 and it has all been down hill ever since. Carolina who has lost 17 players for the season to injury has won one game against powerful Old Dominion and is just 2-7 ATS covering two weeks ago getting 21-points against Miami FL in their 24-19 loss. Pittsburgh has won and 'covered' their last two contests but is still just 4-5 on the year and 3-4-2 ATS. North Carolina leads the series 8-3 all-time and can stay with the Panthers here. Take TAR HEELS! |

L.A. Lakers at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (-) over Lakers- The Wizards opened the season 3-0 which was so much better then last season's 3-8 start when the won 49 games including 30 at home. Well, after their quick start they when to Los Angels and were defeated by the Lakers and now they have dropped three straight at home including the first of this current four-game home stand to the 1-10 Mavericks. In the first meetings everyone was expecting John Wall to school Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball but it was Bradley Beal that tallied 28 points. This time Washington and Wall won't be so kind. Take the WIZARDS! |

11-08-17 | Lakers +9 v. Celtics | 96-107 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Boston 8:00 ET Lakers (+) over Celtics- Many thought and I must admit I was one of them, that the Celtics' season was in peril after Gordon Hayward went down five minutes into the season. Boston lost their first two games and appeared lost. But, I failed to consider how good a coach Brad Stevens is! They have responded to Hayward's injury by bonding together and winning nine straight. This rivalry at one time defined the league and now with the Lakers lack of success in recent seasons has taken some of the luster off the meeting. Boston passed on Lonzo Ball (shooting below 30% from the field) in the 2017 draft trading down to take a 'real professional in Jayson Tatum who is averaging 14.3 points shooting over 50% from the floor. So, what! Take LOS ANGELES! |

Philadelphia at Utah 9:05 ET Jazz (-) over 76ers- Philadelphia as been a great 'take' so far this season going 5-4 straight-up and 7-2 ATS with the 'Fabulous' Joel Embiid leading the way. Utah is looking to bounce back from their two recent losses including a trouncing at Houston losing by 27 points. The trends here are all one-sided as the Jazz have won nine straight against Philadelphia and 12 straight at home. Utah is 5-1 at home and without Embiid in the lineup tonight (resting) the 76ers will not have the inside presence that he has provided so far and he will be missed. Take UTAH! |

L.A. Clippers at San Antonio 8:35 ET Clippers (+) over Spurs- Both these clubs are getting over or through early tough spots as the Clippers have dropped four of their last five including their last two at home in day-time starts Saturday and Sunday while San Antonio has won their last two after losing four straight. This is just the third road game for the Clippers who have won both their road encounters while the Spurs are 4-1 at home both straight-up and ATS. LA seems to get ready to play against San Antonio as they won three of four meetings last season and six of the last nine meetings. Take the CLIPPERS! |

11-07-17 | Bucks +5 v. Cavs | 119-124 | Push | 0 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Cleveland 7:00 ET Bucks (+) over Cavaliers- Okay, I acknowledge that I thought the Kyrie Irving trade would have more of a negative effect on the Celtics then it would the Cavaliers. But, it looks like (for now) that I was way off on that one. We all know what happened to Boston losing Gorgon Hayward opening night but they have won nine straight while Cleveland is 4-6 including 2-4 at home where they are 0-6 ATS. The Cavs have taken four straight in this series and seven of the last eight while the Bucks have dropped their last four. The matchup between Lebron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo has lost some of its luster and with a slue of injured players the Cavaliers fall short once again. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Brooklyn at Phoenix 9:00 ET Nets (+) over Suns- Last season when the NBA scheduled this matchup they were happy to know at least one of these team would get a win. Last Tuesday the Suns played the Nets in Brooklyn and posted their first road win of the season and today less then a week later these two will finish their season series in Phoenix. After the worst opening game loss in NBA history and starting the year 0-3 the Suns have bounced back to win 3-of-4. Brooklyn has dropped their last four and are 0-4 straight-up on the road. But, the Nets have a small measure of revenge after last week home loss to the Suns. Take BROOKLYN! |

Detroit at Green Bay 8:30 ET Packers (+) over Lions- Both these clubs were off to quick starts but are on losing streaks as the Lions have dropped their last three and Green Bay without Aaron Rogers have lost their last two. In week 17 last season the Packers went onto Detroit and took the NFC Central away from the Lions with a 31-24 win as a 3.5-point favorite. This time around the Lions are favored at Green Bay and in this contest and even though the Packers will be playing Brett Hundley at quarterback have had an extra week to prepare. Add that the Lions are just 1-5 in their last six strips to Green Bay. Take the PACKERS! |

Oklahoma City at Portland 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Thunder- Most believed that the Thunder would be much improved with the addition of Paul George and of course Carmelo Anthony. Before the season the Vegas 'experts' asked me which team would have the most disappoint season and I responded it's Oklahoma City. Sometimes less is more and with the addition of Anthony the ball will no longer flow among teammates as it did when Russell Westbrook ran the show. Portland is 0-4 ATS in their last four hoe games and now they get to be an underdog in familiar surroundings. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! |

11-05-17 | Raiders v. Dolphins +3 | Top | 27-24 | Push | 0 | 27 h 48 m | Show |
Oakland at Miami 8:30 ET Dolphins (+) over Raiders- Oh boy is this going to be fun. Miami head coach Adam Gase decided the best way to improve the NFL's worst offense which is last in points scored 13.1 and yards per game with 252 is to trade your star running back. Gone is Jay Ajayi but we anxiously welcome the return of Jay Cutler. Oakland on the other hand has dropped five of their last six games and are the only NFL team without and interception. Although I am sure with Cutler throwing the way he does they will get at least one Sunday. They may get that interception but it won't matter as Miami has a history of beating the Raiders going 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and note that the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven. Take MIAMI! |

11-05-17 | Jazz +6.5 v. Rockets | 110-137 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Utah at Houston 7:05 ET Jazz (+) over Rockets- After playing seven of the first 10 games on the road (6-1) the Rockets return home where they are just 1-2 with their only win coming against Dallas the league's worst team. Utah is coming off a loss after five straight wins after five straight wins at home. On the road they have been a different animal as they are 0-3 to date. Although Utah won two of the last three meetings last season they are still just 2-5 ATS in Houston but, the Rockets are 1-6 ATS as hosts against teams with losing road records. Take UTAH. |

11-05-17 | Redskins +8 v. Seahawks | 17-14 | Win | 100 | 22 h 8 m | Show | |
Washington at Seattle 4:05 ET Redskins (+) over Seahawks- I tried my best to avoid this game after what I 'we' saw the Redskins do against Dallas and the injures just keep adding up. Washington self imploded and now what once appeared to be a bright run toward the playoffs has been side-tracked. Now, about Seattle they have run four straight and trailed in all four and I just don't think they are that (5-2) good. The Seahawks had 33 yards rushing last week and had to rely on Russell Wilson's clutch play once again. This game will play close enough throughout with a possible upset win. Take WASHINGTON! |

11-05-17 | Heat +5 v. Clippers | 104-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
Miami at L.A. Clippers 3:30 ET Heat (+) over Clippers- The Heat who started the season with six of their first seven games on the road and are currently on a six game road trip. The Clippers are hosting their second consecutive afternoon games as they were defeated by our 'Money Game' release Memphis 113-104 yesterday. After starting the year 4-0 the Clippers are just 1-3 since. Miami started the season with Hassan Whiteside injured but he has return and means a world of difference for the Heat. Take MIAMI! |

L.A. Rams at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Rams- The questions here is, 'Can or will a team play hard for themselves or each other when they have no respect for their coach?' No less then four New York Giants players failed to return to practice the first day back after they team had a bye week and were given six days off. Head coach Ben McAdoo who has had to fine and suspend one player already for leaving the field and returning to the locker room while the game was still being played, (he had been benched) fined all four players with one getting suspended for Sunday's game because he didn't even bother to call the team, he was a no phone, no show. New York has actually played good run defense and that will spell the difference Sunday. The Giants are 0-3 at home while the Rams are 3-0 on the road while New York is 8-0 ATS in the last eight meetings...shit happens! Take the NEW YORK GIANTS! |

11-05-17 | Bucs +7 v. Saints | 10-30 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 11 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at New Orleans 1:00 ET Buccaneers (+) over Saints- The 'Red-Hot' Saints have marched past five straight opponents going a perfect 5-0 ATS. There is no question which quarterback Drew Brees or Jameis Winston has a huge edge. Winston who has been nursing a sore should practice in mis-week for the first time in over a month and appears to be fit and ready. Tampa Bay failed to score a touchdown last week the first time that has happened since Jameis to over at QB. New Orleans came out of the Bears game (20-12 win) with three bruised and battered offensive linemen and may have to run a patch work offense. I look for a greater effort out of the Buccaneers. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Cincinnati at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Jaguars- Jacksonville who leads the NFL in scoring defense (15.7) will have the benefit of the return to action of running back Leonard Fournette to take pressure of Blake Bortles. Cincinnati has won three of four since starting the year 0-3 despite averaging less then 80 yards a game rushing. Bengals head coach stated 'AJ McCarron is a valuable member of this team.' This AFTER their trade with the Browns fell through. A matchup of the best and worst rushing teams in the league...somehow, it's CINCINNATI! |

Golden State at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Warriors- After a slow start the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors have rebounded nicely with two huge road victories over the Clippers and Spurs by an average of 24 points. There are a couple of reasons the Warriors started so slowly including boredom and the fact that all their opponents are giving their best effort when facing the current champs. Denver has a new face in 4-time All-Star Paul Millsap and he has been the Nuggets leader early in the season. Take DENVER! |

Dallas at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (-) over Mavericks- Wow, we were all aware that the aging Mavericks might not be the powerhouse that we are used to seeing with Dirk Nowitzki leading the charge. But, they are in the mist of the worst start (1-9) in franchise history and are even pitiful against the spread going just 2-8 ATS. Minnesota has missed the playoffs 13 straight seasons but appear to have what is take to qualify this season with the addition of Taj Gibson and Jimmy Butler to go with one of the youngest roster in the league led by young start Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. Take MINNESOTA! |

Clemson at N.C. State 3:30 ET Wolfpack (+) over Tigers- The Tigers realize that they must win-out to have a chance at reaching the Championship series and with their series record against N.C. State they should enter this fray with plenty of confidence as they have won the last five meetings and 9-of-10. But, NC State is 6-1-1 ATS as home dogs of 6 or more and will be ready here. Clemson is 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings but are 6-2 in their last eight meetings in Raleigh. A balanced offense and the return of Nyheim Hines at running back will be key for the Pack. Take NORTH CAROLINA STATE! |

Memphis at L.A.

With the Grizzlies Mike Conley questionable guard Tyreke Evans has emerged scoring a season high of 32 points in his absence in their 101-99 loss to Orlando Wednesday night. L.A. or should I say Blake Griffin has been outstanding in the Clippers five wins but not so much in their defeats. With the Grizzlies defense being one of the league's beat and coming off two straight losses I give the visitor who one one of two in LA last season the edge. Take MEMPHIS! |

Wake Forest at Notre Dame 3:30 ET Demon Deacons (+) over Fighting Irish- Notre Dame has reeled off six straight since their 20-19 home loss to No. 2 Georgia and have moved into the third spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. Notre Dame blasted No. 10 USC 49-14 and handled NC State easily last week 35-14 and have cover six in-a-row. After three straight losses the Deacons come alive and defeating Louisville 42-32 last week. Wake Forest exploded on offense against Louisville posting 625 yards in total offense led by quarterback John Wolford throwing for five TD's last week. Wake Forest has enough to keep this close especially with the Irish looking at Miami-FL next week. Take DEMON DEACONS! |

Stanford at Washington State 13:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Cougars- We have had a good handle on their two clubs going a combined 7-2 with and against either side. Washington State (7-2, 4-2) has been really, really good or a complete question mark. They have defeated USC 30-27 who Stanford lost to 42-24, they also have crushing wins at Oregon 33-10 and Colorado 28-0, but they have lost to Arizona 58-37 and Cal 37-3. Stanford meanwhile, after an 0-2 start losing to USC and San Diego State has won five straight.

Penn State at Michigan State 12:00 ET Spartans (+) over Nittany Lions- I refer to this contest as the 'bubble-burst' game for Penn State. The Nittany Lions look like they were headed to the CFP Final-4 as they led Ohio State from the opening kickoff to well, almost the finish. Not only were the Lions outscored 19-3 in the final quarter but they were out-gained by the Buckeyes by nearly 300 yards for the game as they were handed their first defeat of the season surrendering 529 yards on defense. Teams that are unbeaten after six or more wins and then lose are just 3-15 ATS the next time out since 1980. After last season's 45-12 loss the Spartans seek revenge. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |

Wisconsin at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Badgers- No. 9 Wisconsin is 8-0 and have not played any ranked competition and can run the table as they do not have a ranked team the rest of the way. Indiana is 0-5 both straight-up and ATS in Big Ten action and have lost the last nine meetings with the Badgers by an average of 36.8 points. Indiana will be without freshman quarterback Peyton Ramsey who will be replaced by former starter senior Richard Lagow who many feel has NFL potential. In a mild surprise ATS take INDIANA! |

Florida at Missouri 12:00 ET Gators (+) over Tigers- Both these schools have had their fair share of turmoil this season as Missouri started 1-5 while Florida has lost three quarterbacks and one head coach. Former Miami Hurricanes head coach Randy Shannon will take over as head coach for the Gators on an interim basis. The Tigers who are 0-4 in SEC play are off wins over powerhouses Idaho and Connecticut with their only other win against Missouri State. Graduate transfer Malik Zaire will get the start at quarterback for the Gators and lead them to victory. Take FLORIDA! |

Toronto at Utah 9:00 ET Raptors (+) over Jazz- Utah is a perfect 5-0 both straight-up and ATS at home so far this season and host the Raptors who will be playing their sixth road game and are 2-3 straight-up and 3-2 ATS. This 'price' seems a bit cheap to me for a team that is undefeated at home and has won three straight. Maybe the fact that Toronto is 8-0 ATS in the last eight meetings and 4-0 ATS in their four meetings in Utah. The Jazz seem to have all the advantages entering this contest but Vegas doesn't agree. Take RAPTORS! |

New Orleans at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Pelicans- The Mavericks were determined to start the season on the right foot after going 2-14 last year but this season's start (1-8) is the worst in franchise history. New Orleans has two of the NBA's best big men is DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis who has had three straight triple-doubles. The problem for the Pelicans is that they have difficulty keeping their two big men healthy. Dallas right now is the worst shooting team in the league but that percentage will rise. Take MAVERICKS! |

Houston at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Rockets- Seven is the number of the day as far as their matchup is concerned as Atlanta has lost seven straight since the season's opener at Dallas and the Rockets have dropped seven straight meetings against the Hawks. Houston is still without point guard Chris Paul but still a force offensively with James Harden leading the way hoisting 3-pointers every chance he gets. Atlanta has yet to win at home (0-2) while Houston is 5-1 on the road. Look for the Hawks to suck it up here. Take ATLANTA! |

The Bills have done it for the most part on defense where they lead the NFL in turnover ratio with a plus-14. The Jets have dropped three straight after holding the AFC East lead themselves before returning to form. Buffalo defeated the Jets in the season opener 20-12 but are favored for the first time on the road and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in this series. Take NEW YORK JETS! |

11-01-17 | Rockets v. Knicks +5.5 | 119-97 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Houston at New York 8:00 ET Knicks (+) over Rockets- The Rockets come into New York fizzling as they have dropped their last two as their long range shots are off the mark. Houston led the NBA in 3-point attempts last season (40.3) and has increased that number in 2017 (44) but their accuracy has dropped from 35.7% to 30.7%. The Knicks opened the season with three straight losses but have won their last three with Kristaps Poraingis leading the way. The Rockets have dominated this series winning the last three and 14 of the last 15 meetings and are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 trips to New York. But, things have changed, the Knicks are young and energetic while Houston added Chris Paul who is on the shelf for now. Take the KNICKS! |

11-01-17 | Suns v. Wizards -12.5 | 122-116 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (-) over Suns- Washington just finished a four-game West Coast road trip 2-2 and return home to play six of their next seven. The Suns are off their win last night (122-114) at Brooklyn last night but will still be without disgruntled guard Eric Bledsoe who is demanding a trade. The Wizards have four the last four meetings over the past two seasons by a combined total of 19 points and yet Washington is a double-digit favorite tonight. Take the WIZARDS! |

10-31-17 | Pistons v. Lakers +4 | 93-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
Detroit at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Pistons- The Pistons are off to a great start something they have struggled with the past three seasons and are 5-2 after having defeated both the LA Clippers and Golden State and have won four in-a-row. This young Lakers club is playing hard and with heart but have had difficulty closing out games blowing fourth quarter leads in their last two losses to the Raptors and Jazz. Los Angeles has dropped the last two meetings after having won 12 of the previous 13 meetings and are just 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take the LAKERS! |

10-31-17 | Thunder v. Bucks +2 | Top | 110-91 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
Oklahoma City at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Thunder- sometimes in life 'less is more' and so is the case as I predicted in Oklahoma City. Most people believe that adding Carmelo Anthony to the Thunder roster would be a great compliment to Russell Westbrook and help push OKC into the top tier of clubs. But, I believe that just the opposite is happening that with Anthony's 'stop and shoot' offense can only slow down Westbrook. Even with budding superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo emerging the Bucks are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven as hosts against the Thunder. Tonight the hosts prevail. Take MILWAUKEE! |

10-31-17 | Suns +5 v. Nets | 122-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Suns (+) over Nets- The fact that the Suns have won two of their last three games after starting the season with three consecutive losses by a total of 92 points has many wondering who they really are. Phoenix made two huge moves after their disastrous start by firing coach Earl Watson and the banishment of guard Eric Bledsoe who wanted out. All the trends lead toward the Nets as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games and Brooklyn is 4-0 ATS versus the Suns in the last four meetings. But, rolls have been reversed here as Brooklyn is now a favorite. Take PHOENIX! |

10-30-17 | Broncos +7.5 v. Chiefs | 19-29 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Denver at Kansas City 8:30 ET Broncos (+) over Broncos- Both of these clubs have lost their last two games including losses to AFC West rivals last time out. The Chiefs were defeated 31-30 on the games' final play by the Raiders and Denver was white-washed 21-0 by San Diego. My first thought when previewing this contest is that this seems to be a 'very strong' line with Kansas City favored by more then a touchdown. Granted Denver's quarterback Trevor Siemian appears to have taken a step backward but he will have the former Chiefs all-time leading rusher in Jamaal Charles in his backfield while Kareem Hunt has taken over as Kansas City's ball carrier. This game may come down to a matter of trends which give the underdog a 5-1 ATS advantage and the road team a 6-1 ATS winning in the last seven meetings. Take DENVER! |

10-30-17 | 76ers +7 v. Rockets | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Houston 8:00 ET 76ers (+) over Rockets- I hope that I can't keep a clear head when it comes to the 76ers as I just love what they have on the court. Granted they are just 2-4 straight-up but, they are 4-2 ATS on the season but have been a 'take' on the road where they are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games. Houston has won the last eight meetings but Philadelphia is 7-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and Houston is 0-5 ATS in last five playing against sub-500 teams. Take 76ERS! |
|||||||
10-30-17 | Wolves v. Heat +3.5 | Top | 125-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
Minnesota at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (+) over Timberwolves- They are only five games into the season the the Miami Heat (2-3) have already had a team meetings after losses to San Antonio and Boston. The Heat have been without center Hassan Whiteside who has yet to play and Miami has gone to a smaller quicker line-up that is looking to run the floor. The Heat will put up plenty of 3-pointers while Minnesota will try and get the ball in low to Karl-Anthony Towns who averages 24.8 points and 11.8 rebounds at center while ranking just 24th in 3-pointers made. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
10-30-17 | Nuggets v. Knicks +4.5 | 110-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Denver at New York Knicks 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Nuggets- 'Break-up the Knicks!' Two straight wins including a 114-95 win at Cleveland and a win over Brooklyn has New York confident Monday's encounter with Denver. The Nuggets have won their last two after a 1-3 start and have won the last five in this series going 5-0 ATS. The Knicks made a change moving Jarrett Jack to the point and putting Tim Hardaway Jr. in the shooting guard roll while feeding Kristaps Porzingis who is averaging 27.6 points per contest. Take NEW YORK! |

10-29-17 | Steelers v. Lions +3 | Top | 20-15 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 25 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Detroit 8:30 ET Lions (+) over Steelers- Three weeks ago the talk was that Pittsburgh was done and 'Big Ben' should hang-up his cleats. Well, the Steelers currently own a two-game lead in the AFC Central and now they trouble are off-field matters where great players can't get on the field which Mike Tomlin has deemed a 'distraction.' Detroit may have the highest paid quarterback in the NFL but they also own a defense that has forced 14 turnovers including nine interceptions. The Lions have had an extra week after their 52-38 loss at New Orleans which gave Stafford time to heal a sprained ankle. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Cowboys v. Redskins +2 | Top | 33-19 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 24 m | Show |
Dallas at Washington 4:25 ET Redskins (+) over Cowboys- The health of the Redskins is a major concern here if you are looking to back Washington who lost three offensive linemen and injured a fourth in their loss to Philadelphia Monday night. They have signed a lineman who was released by the Ravens on Monday. Dallas is fresh off their 40-10 romp over San Francisco which can hardly be considered a test of any sort. The Cowboys lost their field goal kicker and that is always problematic for any club. The Cowboys have won six of the last eight meetings but also have issues with Elliott's court appearance on Monday. Note: The underdog is 25-9 ATS in the last 34 meetings. The best goes on...Take WASHINGTON! |

10-29-17 | Falcons v. Jets +6.5 | Top | 25-20 | Win | 100 | 19 h 54 m | Show |
Atlanta at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Falcons- Don't be afraid! I know we all expect Atlanta to put it together at some time and what could be better then playing the Jets. The thing is I don't think it matters who they play. The Falcons may be suffering from the worst post Super Bowl hangover in NFL history. I know there are plenty of teams that didn't get back to the playoffs after the 'Big Game' but this Falcons team just doesn't pass the eye test...they don't look good at all. They have three losses all to AFC East teams losing to Miami, Buffalo and New England and now face the Jets who blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead to the Dolphins last Sunday. This is more about the Falcons...take NEW YORK JETS! |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Raiders v. Bills -2 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 18 h 29 m | Show | |
Oakland at Buffalo 1:00 ET Bills (-) over Raiders- The raiders appeared to on their way to their fifth straight loss when the 'Football Gods' (refs) determined to give them life as defeated Kansas City 31-30 on Thursday night. After losing four straight games where their offense went dormant Oakland and Derek Carr found Amari Copper who gained 210 yards. Although the Raiders are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings they are 0-4 ATS on the road against a team with a winning record. The home field turf and early start gives the Bills an edge. Take BUFFALO! |
|||||||
10-28-17 | 76ers v. Mavs +1 | 112-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks over 76ers- A pair of current NBA bottom feeders face off as their two clubs have won just two of 11 games played among them thus far this season. Philadelphia (1-4) has a winning point spread record going 3-2 ATS while the Mavericks (1-5) are just 2-4 ATS. The 76ers have the most and best young talent in the league to the points that they have been made a favorite here which is a stretch for them on the road no matter who they are playing. Dallas will counter the 76ers center Joel Embiid with former Philadelphia center Nerlens Noel. Dallas is 4-1-1 the last six meetings at home against Philly and win here. Take MAVERICKS! |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Celtics v. Heat +2 | 96-90 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Boston at Miami 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- Both these clubs are missing their stalwart players as injuries have hit both of their roosters pretty hard with the Celtics without Gordon Hayward and Miami is without Hassan Whiteside. Boston dropped their first two games of the season but have reeled off three straight wins while the Heat who are 2-2 straight up have yet to 'cover' a number. Boston has won the last seven meetings including the last four in Miami and yet they are barely favored here. The Heat ready to get the money tonight. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Georgia Tech v. Clemson -14 | 10-24 | Push | 0 | 24 h 2 m | Show | |
Georgia Tech at Clemson 8:00 ET Tigers (-) over Yellow Jackets- I can't help it! I know 'we' played against Georgia Tech last week and paid the price but this is more about Clemson then the Yellow Jackets. This will be a clash of strengths as the Engineers average almost six yards a rush and the Tigers only allow 2.90 per attempt. I like the idea that Clemson has had time to heal after its loss to Syracuse after losing quarterback Kelly Bryant to injury early in the first half. Trend wise the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Coach Dabo Swinney says that Kelly Bryant is getting better everyday but, it won't matter. The Tigers will win this one on defense. Take CLEMSON! |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Cavs v. Pelicans +4 | 101-123 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
Cleveland at New Orleans 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Cavaliers- There have been a number of changes made to the rooster since the Finals with none having more impact then the loss of Kyrie Irving. LeBron James has been playing as their 'point guard' and has been his outstanding self registering a number of triple-doubles already this season. New Orleans added a huge piece at the end of last season and acquiring DeMarcus Cousins who along side Anthony Davis provide one of the strongest front courts in the NBA. Davis has missed the last two contests but will return tonight and will help be the difference. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
10-28-17 | TCU v. Iowa State +7 | 7-14 | Win | 100 | 17 h 44 m | Show | |
Texas Christian at Iowa State 3:30 ET Cyclones (+) over Horned Frogs- To start with I find it hard to believe TCU is ranked No. 4 in the nation as I 'know' they will not be around for consideration for the Final Four. Granted the Horned frogs are ranked ninth both offensively (41.6 pts) and defensively (14.9) but have been playing relatively weak opponents while Iowa State has defeated Oklahoma along with Texas Tech. The Frogs have crushed the Cyclones the last four meetings by an average of 32.3 points and now the line is less then a touchdown. I expect a close contest with Iowa State proving they can play. Take IOWA STATE! |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Michigan State v. Northwestern +3 | Top | 31-39 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show |
Michigan State at Northwestern 3:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Spartans- No. 16 Michigan State (6-1, 4-0) has won four straight, is 4-0 in Big Ten action, 5-2 ATS and are in a three-way tie with Ohio State and Penn State at the top of the East. After the season they had last year (3-9) this is a big surprise for Big Ten 'experts' who again picked the Spartans to finish near the bottom. After an 0-2 start in conference play Northwestern has posted a pair of wins winning at Maryland and at home over Iowa. State has struggled on offense and were more then lucky to pull off their win at Indiana last week. The Wildcats will move the ball with all-time leading school rusher Justin Jackson and QB Clayton Thorson. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

10-28-17 | Penn State v. Ohio State -6 | Top | 38-39 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 7 m | Show |
Penn State at Ohio State 3:30 ET Buckeyes (-) over Nittany Lions- Okay, to me this is the game of the day and I find the nation's No. 2 ranked team almost a full underdog. Does that not seem a bit strange to you...it does to me! Last season the rolls were reversed as Ohio State entered their fray against the Lions undefeated and were upended. But, this time it is Penn State that is unbeaten and a heavy underdog Buckeyes. This 'line' seems extremely high as the Nittany Lions are No. 1 in scoring defense allowing just 9.6 points per game and yet The Buckeyes are almost a touchdown favorite. Then you realize Urban Meyer teams are 20-1 after a bye week and 5-0 against Top-25 opponents. Take OHIO STATE! |

10-28-17 | Georgia v. Florida +14.5 | 42-7 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 30 m | Show | |
Georgia vs Florida 3:30 ET Gators (+) over Bulldogs- Man, even I don't trust myself with this one. I mean we all know the score Georgia are 7-0 and headed for a showdown with Alabama for the Final-Four berth but have to deal with what has been a major thorn in their side for years no matter how strong or weak Florida may be or appear to be. The Gators have won 21 of the last 27 meetings and have been talking trash all week. Florida is just so one dimensional it is difficult to play them with much confidence, except that they have run for 200 yards in each of their past two games and they are able to stop their opponents on third down allowing just 29.9% conversions. Take FLORIDA! |

10-28-17 | Louisville v. Wake Forest +3 | 32-42 | Win | 100 | 20 h 20 m | Show | |
Louisville at Wake Forest 12:20 ET Demon Deacons (+) Cardinals- Louisville has had the best of this relatively new series winning all four meetings including last season when Wake jumped out to a 12-0 lead before the Cardinals took over winning the fourth quarter 34-0. On their only trip to Winston-Salem Louisville squeaked out a 20-19 victory. The Deacons have dropped their last three but are 4-3 on the season and have shown that they can play with the 'big boys' improving enough to keep Louisville in check who is a step or two behind last season's level. Take WAKE FOREST! |
