Atlanta at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Hawks- The Timberwolves finally broke through at home after starting the season with six straight losses be it against the winless 76ers but a win is a win. Atlanta is off a huge revenge win over the Celtics still have lost five-of-eight and last night but lost Kent Bazemore to an ankle injury. Look for Minnesota's rookie center Karl-Anthony Towns to bounce-back from his season lows in points (six) and rebounds (two) on Monday. Look for the T'wolves to make it two straight at home. Take MINNESOTA! |

Cleveland at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Cavaliers- The Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James are out to show that the are the best in the East and have pounded their last two opponents while the Raptors closed their west coast trip with two strong wins the last of which was over the Clippers in Los Angeles. Toronto has had three days rest and relies on defense led by DeMarre Carroll as they shut down the Clippers Blake Griffin holding him to a season low nine points. At home its...the RAPTORS! |

Chicago at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Bulls- Portland has started to show some signs of life as they have won their last two while the Chicago Bulls continue to march on winning 8-of-12. The Trailblazers have had the best of the Bulls in Portland where Chicago hasn't won since February 2007 losing their last seven and 12 of 15 at the Rose Garden. Chicago point guard Derrick Rose will be back in the line-up after missing the last two contests with an ankle sprain, that will help because point-guard Aaron Brooks is expected to miss his second straight game. Take PORTLAND! |

Boston at Atlanta 8:00 ET Celtics (+) over Hawks- Atlanta is off a loss at Cleveland to the Cavaliers 109-97 Saturday and has lost four of their last five one of which was a 106-93 defeat at Boston 10 days ago. The young Celtics quickened the pace in that match-up throwing up 103 shoots to Atlanta's 76 attempts. Boston is coming off an embarrassing loss at Brooklyn on Sunday where they were out-rebounded 49-35. Look for a better effort off the boards and another win over last years' No.1 Eastern Conference seed. Take the CELTICS! |

11-24-15 | Ohio +13.5 v. Northern Illinois | 26-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Ohio at Northern Illinois 7:30 ET Bobcats (+) over Huskies- One thing that the MAC has exposed us to with this mis-week games is plenty of offense and this contest shouldn't be any different. Northern Illinois averages 451 yards per game ranking 35th and a re well balanced with 226 yards rushing and 225 yards passing. Ohio is ranked 45th on offense with 428 yards per game leading with 245 yards passing. The Huskies are undefeated at home at 5-0 averaging 46 points while Ohio is 2-3 on the road but can hang here. Take OHIO! |

11-24-15 | Pacers +2 v. Wizards | 123-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Indiana at Washington 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Wizards- The Pacers are going for their third straight win in Washington tonight and have eight wins in their last 11. The Wizards after a slow start have won their last three and Bradley Beal has returned. Indiana is 3-3 on the road but an impressive 5-1 ATS as they are playing with passion and toughness something we have seen much of from the Wizards. The 'Wiz' are still beaming off their win over Detroit and will pay tonight. Take INDIANA! |

11-23-15 | Thunder v. Jazz -3 | 111-89 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (-) over Thunder- The Utah defense will have a lot to contend with as Russell Westbrook enters Vivant Smart Home Arena as he has scored 30 points or more in four consecutive games (37 ave) and has been held under 20 just once this season. Utah who are have played only three home games this season are off a loss at Dallas and the Thunder off a win over Dallas are just 2-3 on the road and have lost their last three trips to Utah. The Jazz have had the weekend to rest while Oklahoma City played yesterday. Take the JAZZ! |

11-23-15 | Bills +7.5 v. Patriots | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 53 h 7 m | Show | |
Buffalo at New England 8:30 ET Bills (+) over Patriots- Has anybody checked checked the air pressure with the NFL footballs because according to Roger Goodell Tom Brady just couldn't have 24 touchdown passes with only three interceptions unless he is cheating. What a joke! Normally, I would want to play against a team like Buffalo who won a huge matchup over the Jets in New York last Thursday. But they key to that is that it was 11 days ago and the Bills have had plenty of time to get ready for New England. The Patriots are losing player left and right and even Bill Belichick can't compensate for their loss. Take BUFFALO! |
|||||||
11-23-15 | Pistons v. Bucks +2 | 88-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Detroit at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Pistons- Two clubs that are moving in different directions will meet tonight at Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee as the Bucks who have dropped three in-a-row host the Detroit Pistons who have a winning record at 7-6 they were 1-12 last year at this time. This contest will be a match-up of centers as Andre Drummond has emerged for Detroit while the Pistons former center Greg Monroe will face his former team for the first time. Michael-Carter-Williams is back along with Jabari Parker. Milwaukee has won the last three meetings and will win again tonight. Take the BUCKS! |

11-22-15 | Bengals +5 v. Cardinals | Top | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 31 h 40 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Arizona 8:30 ET Bengals (+) over Cardinals- Well, we all saw it! We all saw what we were waiting for from the Cincinnati Bengals losing as a undefeated double-digit favorite to the Texans without even scoring a touchdown. I know that the Bengals are on a short week off Monday Nights debacle but they are still 7-1-1 ATS and they have been hearing it all week from the media. Meanwhile, Arizona is off a huge division win over the Seahawks which at this point virtually eliminated Seattle. I expect Cincinnati to be loaded for Bear as they say and ground the Cardinals here. Take the BENGALS! |

11-22-15 | Packers +1 v. Vikings | 30-13 | Win | 100 | 27 h 40 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Minnesota 4:25 ET Packers (+) over Vikings- Here we go with another contest where quarterbacks play is being questioned as Aaron Rogers has faltered the past three weeks. Minnesota meanwhile is 7-2 playoff bound and 8-1 ATS as they enter this game 4-0 at home. The Packers are 9-0-1 straight-up against Minnesota and I expect the Packers to regroup here and give the Vikings more then they can handle. I expect them to re-establish their run game and for Rogers to return to form. Take GREEN BAY! |
|||||||
11-22-15 | Chiefs v. Chargers +3 | 33-3 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 29 m | Show | |
Kansas City at San Diego 4:05 ET Chargers (-) over Chiefs- Oh Lordy! Can it get any worse for the San Diego Chargers and the answer is yes but not here. San Diego has dropped five straight and seven of their last eight after an opening with over the Lions while Kansas City has won three straight after a five-game losing streak. A surprising facf is that the Chargers have out-gained their opponents by an average of 50 yards per game. The Chiefs will find Phillip Rivers a but tougher to defend then a weak-armed Peyton Manning who they completely shut down last week. A note from ML is that NFL home teams with revenge off a straight-up loss are 15-3-2 ATS. Take SAN DIEGO! |
|||||||
11-22-15 | Jets v. Texans +3 | 17-24 | Win | 111 | 24 h 33 m | Show | |
New York Jets at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Jets- Believe it or not the 4-5 Houston Texans are tied for first place in the AFC South Division. T.J. Yates replaced Brian Hoyer who suffered a concussion Monday Night and led Houston to the games only touchdown. Ryan Fitzpatrick the Jets quarterback wants to play against his former teammates in the worst way but he had surgery on his left thumb (non-throwing hand) my be replaced by Geno Smith. Houston will have the return of Jadeveon Clowney to help the double and triple teams on J.J. Watt. New Lost has lost three of their last four after a soft schedule help their early start. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | TCU +12 v. Oklahoma | 29-30 | Win | 100 | 24 h 54 m | Show | |
TCU at Oklahoma 8:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Sooners- TCU is banged-up for this pivotal Big-12 face-off with Oklahoma as quarterback Trevone Boykin is questionable and wide receiver Josh Doctson is out. Boykin has passed for 3,427 yards and 29 touchdown with only nine interceptions. Oklahoma is off a huge win at Baylor and has averaged 55.2 points in their last five games since their loss to Texas. Baker Mayfield has 31 touchdown passes for the Sooners and is balanced by running back Samaje Perine and receiver Sterling Shepard who has 61 catches. Frogs coach Gary Peterson will have his group ready. Take TCU! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | Baylor +1 v. Oklahoma State | 45-35 | Win | 100 | 24 h 40 m | Show | |
Baylor at Oklahoma State 7:30 ET Bears (+) over Cowboys- So here we have undefeated No. 6 Oklahoma State (10-0) at home hosting No.10 Baylor who is off a home loss to Oklahoma last Saturday. The Cowboys are the only Big-12 team that has a chance to run-the-table and they come up a pick-em at home against a team that is using their second string freshman quarterback. This 'line' doesn't pass the smell test as far as I'm concerned when you realize that Baylor hasn't won a road game in their series since 1939. My buddy ML tells me that 10-0 teams playing opponents with a .700 win percentage are 9-20-2 ATS as favorites. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | Bucks +5 v. Pacers | 86-123 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Indiana 7:05 ET Bucks (+) over Pacers- After a slow start the Indiana Pacers once again look like a team with playoff potential. With Paul George's return after missing the best of two seasons he's help add confidence to a floundering franchise. Milwaukee has plenty of young talent and believe that they can compete with the addition of Jabari Parker (back from injury) and Giannis Antetokounmpo who scored a career high 33 points against the Cavaliers Thursday night. Although Indiana is 8-1 ATS in their last nine games the Bucks are 5-2 ATS I the last seven meetings. Take MILWAUKEE! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | Mississippi State +5 v. Arkansas | 51-50 | Win | 100 | 23 h 5 m | Show | |
Mississippi State at Arkansas 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Razorbacks- Mississippi State will have to do some 'soul searching' after the beat-down they were handed by Alabama last week as they failed to score a touchdown. Arkansas who got off to a rocky start to say the least his rebounded nicely and have won four straight including an emotional upset of LSU last week. At 7-3 the Bulldogs have been dropped from the rankings and will try and come back behind Dak Prescott who is 21-9 as a starter. The Razorbacks have won five of their last six with their only loss coming at the hands of Alabama. Mississippi State has won the last three meetings and will make it four on Saturday night. Take the BULLDOGS! |

11-21-15 | Michigan State v. Ohio State -13 | Top | 17-14 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 43 m | Show |
Michigan State at Ohio State 12:30 ET Buckeyes (-) over Spartans- The last time the Spartans won in Columbus was in 2011 when they prevailed 10-7 (before Urban Meyer) but the Buckeyes hold a 29-14 series advantage after last season's 49-37 win. Michigan State quarterback Conner Cook has an injured right shoulder but claims his 'shoulder is good' and will be ready to go while Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett is back in control starting for Ohio State. This line seems exceedingly high and there is good reason for that. The Buckeyes have been playing possum all season but with the late season emergence of Barrett and Ezekiel Elliott who has run for 100 yards or more in 15 consecutive games they have too much fire-power for the Spartans to overcome. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | UCLA +3 v. Utah | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 19 h 28 m | Show | |
UCLA at Utah 3:30 ET Bruins (+) over Utes- Both clubs are coming off disappointing 'late' losses last Saturday as Utah failed at Arizona in overtime and the Bruins were defeated by a late touchdown by Washington State. Utah is now tied with USC and their key offensive component Devontae Booker out for the final two regular season games due to knee surgery. UCLA holds a 10-3 series edge despite last season's home loss tot he Utes 30-28. Bruins freshman quarterback Josh Rosen is giving the edge over Utah's senior signal caller Travis Wilson and that will spell the difference. Take UCLA! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | Michigan v. Penn State +4 | 28-16 | Loss | -109 | 50 h 50 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Penn State 12:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Wolverines- Michigan has had quite a year winning 8-of-10 and still live for the Big-Ten Championship while Penn State has very quietly won 7-of-10. When the season opened Penn State was supposed to have the Conference's best quarterback in Junior Christian Hackenberg who has had a disappointing while the Wolverines Jake Rudock has emerged throwing for 778 yards the last two games. The Nittany Lions are 13-6-1 ATS following an ATS loss while the Wolverines are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings and the home team is 5-1 TAS in the last six meetings. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | North Carolina v. Virginia Tech +7 | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 50 h 50 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Virginia Tech 12:00 ET Hokies (+) over Tar Heels- Since their opening night loss to south Carolina the Tar Heels have reeled off nine straight wins and they appear to be getting stronger as they season progresses. Virginia Tech after hearing the announcement that coach Frank Beemer was going to retire at the end of the season responded with a come-from-behind win over Georgia Tech. Tech must win one of their final two games (Virginia) to become bowl eligible for the 23 consecutive season. Look for an emotional Hokies squad to battle until the final gun. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |
|||||||
11-21-15 | Indiana v. Maryland -2.5 | 47-28 | Loss | -109 | 50 h 49 m | Show | |
Indiana at Maryland 12:00 ET Terrapins (-) over Hoosiers- The Indiana Hoosiers have shown that they have explosive offense but are coming of a rough three games as they have played and lost to Michigan State, Iowa and Michigan. Maryland meanwhile hasn't won since September have had their coach fired and yet here they are favored. A few trends will help support Maryland here as the Hoosiers are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games and the Terrapins are 6-1 in their last seven games after scoring less the 20 points in their previous game. A bad spot for Indiana. Take MARYLAND! |
|||||||
11-20-15 | Raptors v. Lakers +7 | 102-91 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
Toronto at L.A. Lakers 10:35 ET Lakers (+) over Raptors- How, can I possible be thinking of this side. As we predicted the Raptors have struggled on their current 'West Coast' trip dropping the first three of five games and they are playing their fourth game in six days. As far as Los Angeles is concerned Kobe Bryant has been receiving some rest and others now getting some playing time have emerged as Jordan Clarkson has shown some long ball shooting talent. With Bryant returning well rested the Lakers who have won just 2-of-9 can surprise Toronto here. Take the LAKERS! |
|||||||
11-20-15 | Air Force v. Boise State -11 | 37-30 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 13 m | Show | |
Air Force at Boise State 9:30 ET Broncos (-) over Falcons- Boise State was a 30-point favorite last week and were defeated 31-24 outright by New Mexico. The shocking stats in a game the Broncos had 640 offensive yards and 40 first downs but four turnovers did them in. Boise will be a little better prepared for the Falcons option attack after facing the Lobos last week. Air Force is off two huge wins against Army and Utah State both at home, this road trip will show us a different side of the fly boys. Take BOISE STATE! |
|||||||
11-20-15 | Suns v. Nuggets +2.5 | 114-107 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Suns- These two met last Saturday in Phoenix and the Suns routed the Nuggets 105-81 and led by as many as 37 points and they have now won seven of the last eight meetings. Denver is 4-2 after a loss and 1-0 at home and I expect them to be totally focused against the guard heavy Suns. Denver's Emmanuel Mudiay will have to step-up here and improve his shot selection for the Nuggets to prevail. I believe he will tonight. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
11-20-15 | Jazz +2.5 v. Mavs | Top | 93-102 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 29 m | Show |
Utah at Dallas 8:35 ET Jazz (+) over Mavericks- Truly and interesting 'number' posted on the match-up when you consider the history of these two combatants. Dallas has won nine straight over Utah and 23 of the past 26 home meetings with the last Jazz win coming in January 2010. The Mavericks have won their last five coming back from 18-points down Wednesday in Boston to complete a three-game road trip sweep. So with all these factors showing us how dominate the Mavericks are why has this 'number' opened under a three-point field goal? I will always believe that 'Vegas' knows more then we do and they know something here. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
11-19-15 | Titans +3 v. Jaguars | 13-19 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Jacksonville 8:30 ET Titans (+) over Jaguars- This should be a really exciting affair as Tennessee and Jacksonville have combined for a grand total of five wins. Jacksonville was handed their third win last Sunday by the Ravens blunder on one of the games final play and the officials over-site on the last play. Rookies quarterback Marcus Mariota has set an NFL record for touchdown passes through eight games with 13 while the Titans pass defense is fifth in the league with 27 sacks and are third-fewest in passing yards with 213.8 per contest. This time around the Titans get it done. Take TENNESSEE! |

11-19-15 | Bucks v. Cavs -9.5 | 100-115 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Cleveland 8:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Bucks- The Cavaliers have dropped their last two contests one of which was an overtime loss at Milwaukee 108-105. LeBron James has called-out his club telling them that they haven't won anything yet and they need to increase their intensity. The Bucks forced Cleveland into 20 turnovers in their win Saturday including seven by LeBron who has scored 30 or more points in four straight games. Kevin Love's play has been better this season and the Cavs are 5-0 at home. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-18-15 | Raptors v. Jazz -4 | Top | 89-93 | Push | 0 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Toronto at Utah 9:00 ET Utes (-) over Raptors- The Toronto Raptors have dropped their first two of their current road trip and five-of-seven since their 5-0 start. Utah won their final game of their road trip at Atlanta Sunday and should be well rested for the Raptors who are off their hard fought 115-110 loss to Golden State last night. Considering Toronto has won the last four meetings by an average margin of 19 points this is a bad spot for them. The return of center Rudy Gobert will aid the Jazz as he has three of more blocked shots in seven of the eight games that he has played. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
11-18-15 | Blazers v. Rockets -7 | 103-108 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
Portland at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (-) over Trailblazers- The new make-up of the Portland Trailblazers has all their fire-power coming from their back court with Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum but unlike the Warriors who rely on their back-court the Blazers just don't play the same kind of defense. Houston entering this contest in a four-game losing streak while Portland is in the mist of a six-game losing skid. This is the final game of a four-game road trip for Portland and they have lost four-of-six by 12 points or more. The Rockets have won 11 of the last 14 meetings at home and will rebound from their humiliating home loss (111-95) to the Celtics their last time out. Take HOUSTON! |

11-18-15 | Kings +3.5 v. Hawks | 97-103 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Atlanta 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Hawks- A week ago Sacramento was in the mist of a five-game losing streak and the team was feuding with coach George Karl. After an airing-it-out meetings and the return of DeMarcus Cousins the Kings have now won three-in-a-row. Atlanta No.1 seed in the East last season opened by winning eight of their first 10 but have dropped their last three including a loss last night in Brooklyn to the lowly Nets. I don't know if I'm going to the well once too often playing against the Hawks but until they turn it around I'll play against them. The 'number' tell me the Kings have a legitimate shot. Take SACRAMENTO! |

11-18-15 | Western Michigan +3 v. Northern Illinois | Top | 19-27 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Western Michigan at Northern Illinois 8:00 ET Broncos (+) over Huskies- Western Michigan has dropped six straight in this series including last season when the committed six turnovers 31-21. Northern Illinois hasn't had any drop off (yet) with freshman Graham at the helm last week since losing #1 quarterback Drew Hare and senior wide receiver Tommylee Lewis but the competition is getting stiffer. Although the Broncos have lost the last half dozen to the Huskies they still have a 22-17 lifetime series edge. Revenge is sweet...take WESTERN MICHIGAN! |
|||||||
11-17-15 | Hawks v. Nets +4 | 88-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Hawks- The Brooklyn Nets have managed to win their first game on their recent four-game road trip but have dropped their last two (great efforts) to Sacramento and Golden State. Atlanta the No.1 team in the East last season has been struggling although the are 8-4 and have a convincing 101-87 win over the Nets. In that contest Brooklyn hung tough until late in the fourth quarter and then the Hawks experience took over in the final six minutes. This time around the Nets play a complete game to the final buzzer at home. Take BROOKLYN! |

11-17-15 | Cavs v. Pistons +5.5 | Top | 99-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
Cleveland at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (+) over Cavaliers- If there ever was or is a 'home court' advantage the Detroit Pistons are a prime example of that axiom. They 4-1 before they embarked on a six-game 10 day West Coast trip and have dropped their last four including a loss to the lowly Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. Cleveland led by LeBron James are 8-2 but just 3-7 ATS and still are not completely healthy. The Pistons are 5-0 ATS when playing .500 or better teams at home and the Cavaliers are 0-7 ATS in their last seven. Take DETROIT! |

11-17-15 | Bucks +4.5 v. Wizards | 86-115 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Washington 7:00 ET Bucks (+) over Wizards- The surprising Milwaukee Bucks have won five of their last seven and are coming off an double-overtime win over the Cavaliers on Saturday, while the Wizards snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Orlando the same night. These two met in Milwaukee to open the season a 118-113 win by the Wizards while the Bucks were injured. Jabari Parker has returned and he helps a well balanced club that has five player averaging 12.6 points or better. Washington's Bradley Beal is questionable and even if he plays his effectiveness is in doubt. Take the BUCKS! |
|||||||
11-17-15 | Toledo v. Bowling Green -7 | Top | 44-28 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
Toledo at Bowling Green 6:00 ET Falcons (-) over Rockets- My first though upon gazing at this match-up was, How can Toledo be getting a touchdown in a conference game? Then I see that the Rockets have won the last five in this series and they were the ranked team. It goes back to an adage we've used for years and that is 'It don't make sense. Although Toledo allows nine-points less per game (19-28) Bowling Green scores 10½ points more per contest. Looking at the numbers we see that Bowling Green is averaging 584.8 yards per game with 170 yards on the ground and 414 yards passing. This is just too much for Toeldo to over-come. Take BOWLING GREEN! |

11-16-15 | Columbia +3.5 v. Kansas State | Top | 71-81 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
Columbia at Kansas State 9:00 ET Lions (+) over Wildcats- Really now? Am I being suckered into taking an Ivy League school against one of the perennial NCAA basketball powers here. My first though is what's the matter with Kansas State that is line is so low? After doing my due diligence I find that the Wildcats are playing with six freshman and one junior college transfer but none of these six freshman would be playing for Kentucky. Columbia has a freshmen of their own in guard CJ Davis who was spectacular in his debut scoring 19 points including five-of-six 3-pointers with five assists. Even off the bench the Lions can play scoring 65 points in their opener. Take COLUMBIA! |
|||||||
11-16-15 | Texans +11 v. Bengals | 10-6 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Houston at Cincinnati 8:30 ET Texans (+) over Bengals- This match-up reminds me so much of the Browns/Bengals clash a week ago Thursday as Cincinnati remains undefeated and while Houston can't seem to do anything right. In that meeting the Bengals destroyed Cleveland 31-10 and now have a 3 ½ game lead over the Steelers. The Texans do have three victories which come over teams with a combined 7-15 record and they are on their third quarterback this season. Brian Hoyer has now led the club to wins in two of their last three games with a bye last week. T don't think that Houston can win the game on the field but with extra time to mend and prepare I believe they 'cover' here. Take the TEXANS! |

11-16-15 | Pacers +5 v. Bulls | Top | 95-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
Indiana at Chicago 8:05 ET Pacers (+) over Bulls- The Indiana Pacers were a horror show when the season opened and they are getting better day-by-day as they are now 6-4 on the season. The Chicago Bulls are still led by Derrick 'The Hoax) Rose and at 6-3 despite having more turnovers then assists. The Bulls are now playing the same tough defense under Fred Hoilberg that they had in the past. The Pacers Paul George has returned and has scored 25 points or more in six straight games the last three of which Indiana has won. Rose is shooting just 5.6 percent from three point range. (That's right 5.6%) Take the PACERS! |

11-16-15 | Celtics +5 v. Rockets | 111-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Boston at Houston 8:05 ET Celtics (+) over Rockets- The Houston Rockets are off to a slow start (4-6) and it is primarily because of the inconsistent play of James Harden. They have dropped their last three and are playing a 'red-hot' Celtics club who has won four of their last five including a 100-85 win over the Durant-less Thunder last night. With Harden suffering from the 'Kardashian jinx' he's shooting just 37.1 percent from the field and I don't see a quick fix for the struggling Rockets. Houston has won four straight in this series and seven of the last nine meetings but tonight their troubles continue. Take BOSTON! |

Toronto at Sacramento 9:00 ET Kings (+) over Raptors- Break-up the Kings! DeMarcus Cousins and George Karl are both still with Sacramento and they have won two straight that TWO as in one-two. Toronto had a small hiccup losing two straight but have bounced back with wins over Philadelphia and New Orleans. This is the first of a five-game West Coast road trip for the Raptors while the Kings have been in the West for a week. This is Toronto's seventh road game of 11 played and the Kings are ready. Take SACRAMENTO! |

11-15-15 | Celtics +6 v. Thunder | 100-85 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Boston at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Celtics (+) over Thunder- The Celtics have been good to 'us' so far this season winning OUTRIGHT against Atlanta on Friday and now they visit Oklahoma City who will be without Kevin Durant but they have Russell Westbrook who is intent on showing everyone that Durant isn't needed. Westbrook recorded another triple-double last time against out Philadelphia and had it in the middle of the 3rd quarter. A pair of former college coaches go to work as Brad Stevens leads Boston and Billy Donovan is struggling as the Thunder lead the NBA in Turnovers and have allowed more free throws then they have taken. Tonight's it's the CELTICS! |

11-15-15 | Jazz +5.5 v. Hawks | 97-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
Utah at Atlanta 6:00 ET Jazz (+) over Hawks- The NBA road is a tough one at least and the Utah Jazz are finding their trip to the East to be reformable. They have dropped their first three of a four game trip (two covers) and now face the conferences winningest team the Atlanta Hawks. Part of the problem is their defense which held opponents to 84 points per game in their first six has allowed 104 per game on this trip. After starting 8-1 the Hawks have dropped their last two and now are dealing with an injury to one of their key players in Jeff Teague. Utah will have the services of Rudy Gobert and Rodney Hood who were both missing last time out. Take the JAZZ! |

11-15-15 | Chiefs +6 v. Broncos | 29-13 | Win | 100 | 24 h 31 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Denver 4:25 ET Chiefs (+) over Broncos- Denver qualifies this week moving into the 'bang-bang' category as their undefeated season ended last week at Indianapolis 24-27 and now they host the Chiefs. Kansas City had the first meeting all but won until two late turnovers and a fumble return with :26 seconds left gave the Broncos the win and raised Peyton Manning's record to 7-0 against Kansas City since joining the Broncos. Andy Reid Kansas City's coach is 17-3 straight-up when playing with rest including 5-0 ATS with a team with a losing record. Take the CHIEFS! |

Minnesota at Oakland 4:05 ET Vikings (+) over Raiders- The Minnesota Viking will have Teddy Bridgewater as he was cleared to play after passing the NFL concession periodical this week. The Viking who have won four straight have moved into a first-place tie with Green Bay in the NFC North. Minnesota has been doing it with defense as they are ranked sixth in pass defense and will be facing Derek Carr who has 11 touchdown passes and only one interception in the past three games. The Raiders defense is ranked 30th overall and gave up 597 yards last week at Pittsburgh. Take MINNESOTA! |

Detroit at Green Bay 1:00 ET Lions (+) over Packers- After opening 6-0 Green Bay has now dropped their last two as we 'played' against them both weeks with the Panthers out 'Best Bet' last week. Detroit of course is in turmoil both on and off the field winning just once both straight-up and ATS (1-7). The Lions have had two weeks to recover from their horrid performance in London while the Packers just don't look the same and have made a change at running back turning to James Starks and benching Eddie Lacy. Green Bay's 'mojo' has disappeared as Aaron Rodgers isn't throwing the ball like days past. Take DETROIT! |

11-15-15 | Saints v. Redskins +1.5 | 14-47 | Win | 100 | 20 h 20 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Washington 10:00 ET Redskins (+) over Saints- The Redskins did everything they could to give the game and 'cover' away to the Patriots last week as they turned they ball over numerous times and committed penalties at inopportune times. Both teams have five losses but the Redskins have actually performed better scoring six points more per contest and having a defense that allows 42 yards less per game. It may not seem like much but it's enough for a the home team to take advantage. Take WASHINGTON! |

Carolina at Tennessee 1:00 ET Titans (+) over Panthers- Undefeated Carolina (8-0) was our 'Top-Rated' Best Bet winner in the NFL last week and this week 'we' are coming against them strong. After defeating Green Bay in their second of back-to-back home games they take to the road in a letdown spot. Tennessee with a new head coach Mike Mularkey come up with an win at New Orleans as Marcus Mariota returned to the lineup and led the way with 378 yards passing and 4 TD's. The Titans good fortune continues this week. Take TENNESSEE! |

11-15-15 | Dolphins +6 v. Eagles | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 20 h 11 m | Show | |
Miami at Philadelphia 1:00 ET Dolphins (+) over Eagles- The addition of Ndamukong Suh hasn't helped the Dolphins defense much as they rank near the bottom of the league in rushing defense. The Eagles are starting to walk and talk with some swagger as they got past the Cowboys in overtime Sunday night in Dallas. After making a coaching change under interim Dan Campbell Miami raced out with two quick wins but have now dropped their last two. A pair of trends favor Miami and that is they are 8-1 ATS after double-digits back-to-back defeats while Philadelphia is 5-20 ATS when favored after defeating the Cowboys. Take the DOLPHINS! |

11-14-15 | Utah v. Arizona +6 | Top | 30-37 | Win | 100 | 28 h 43 m | Show |
Utah at Arizona 10:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Utes- Is Arizona really that bad? My goodness, this Rick Rod led team has dropped three-in-a-row while surrendering an average 44.6 points losing to USC, Washington and Washington State. Utah has bounced back since their shocking loss to USC with two wins against weak competition beating Washington and Oregon State. The Wildcats have struggled this season but are 11-2-1 ATS as a home dog of 3-or-more points. Take ARIZONA! |

11-14-15 | Oregon +10 v. Stanford | 38-36 | Win | 100 | 25 h 17 m | Show | |
Oregon at Stanford 7:30 ET Ducks (+) over Cardinal- The class of the PAC-12 meet once again in a pivotal match-up that will go a long way to deciding who will go to the conference championship game. Oregon after a 3-3 start has recovered nicely with three huge wins as Stanford has a 2½ game lead in the North Division and has only been favored twice in the past 14 meetings and they lost both of those contests. With the return of Vernon Adams the Ducks look like they are flying. Oregon is 34-17 ATS as a dog including 6-0 ATS in the last seven years. Take OREGON! |

Detroit at L.A. Clippers 3:35 ET Pistons (+) over Clippers- The Clippers have dominated this series by winning the last eight meetings by an average of 14.4 points but that was a different Detroit club. The Pistons are 5-3 after opening the 2014 campaign 2-17 and have one of the most dominating players in the NBA with Andre Drummon who has a double-double in every game this season and is averaging 18.8 points and a league leading 19.3 rebounds. He will counter Blake Griffin while Reggie Jackson will take advantage of Chris Paul's aliments. This time the trend ends. Take DETROIT! |

Oklahoma State at Iowa State 3:30 ET Cyclones (+) over Cowboys- Oklahoma State came through for us in a big way last Saturday but blowing out TCU at home while Iowa State was getting wasted by Oklahoma 52-16. The Cowboys are now 9-0 and 6-0 in conference play but last weeks' win was the biggest in Mike Gundy's career. Both teams should move toward the center this week and with this gem form ML College football double-digit road favorite off a straight-up home underdog win are 4-10-1 ATS. Iowa State is 3-2 at home and will be ready to bounce back here. Take the CYCLONES! |

Alabama at Mississippi State 3:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama come off our 'Highest-Rated' Guaranteed winner last week pounding LSU in every aspect of the game winning 30-16 (Not that close) and now travel to Starkville and Davis Wade Stadium. Last season the Bulldogs were 9-0 and Ranked #1 entering this match-up and the Crimson won for the seventh straight time in the series 25-20. Mississippi State has 'covered' three of the last four meetings and the home team 5-of-6 and is primed for revenge while Alabama is still sky-high off last week huge win. Take the points with the BULLDOGS! |

11-14-15 | Utah State -2 v. Air Force | 28-35 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 14 m | Show | |
Utah State at Air Force 2:00 ET Aggies over Flacons- Here comes Utah State off a loss to lowly New Mexico while Air Force was participating in a Commander-in Chiefs Trophy game against the Army winning 20-6. this doesn't bode well for the Falcons as they are 1-10 ATS in the week following a this emotional contest including 5-0 at home. The Aggies held the Lobos' to just 236 total yards and 2.8 yards per rush and still managed to lose 14-13. Utah State was won both meetings between these two clubs and I see that trend continuing as the Fly-boys have Boise State on deck. Take UTAH STATE! |

Southern California at Colorado 9:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Trojans- USC has moved to within one game of the PAC-12 South Division Utah Utes after reeling off three straight wins. The Trojans have won all nine meetings against Colorado and the Buffs are off a drubbing at the hands of the apparent PAC-12 class Stanford. USC has gone 3-1 under interim coach Clay Helton losing only at Notre Dame in his first game leading the Trojans. With Oregon on deck USC might be peeking as Colorado posses no real threat (They think). Take COLORADO! |

Wofford at Missouri 9:00 ET Terriers (+) over Tigers- Okay, tell me you know where Wofford is located! Here I am writing up my analysis for a school that most don't even know exists. The brow raising question is how can a SEC team be favored by less then a 3-point field goal? Well, upon further review we see that the Terriers were 28-7 last season no matter who they are playing that's pretty good while Missouri was 9-23 and their best player Johnathan Williams transferred out. Second year coach Kim Anderson had little impact on the program last season and I don't see it getting any better this year. Take WOFFORD! |

Portland has a number of new faces that are having trouble with a lack of chemistry and they are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six in Memphis and 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 meetings. The Grizzlies are in need of a win and get it here. Take MEMPHIS! |

Cleveland at New York Knicks 7:35 ET Knicks (+) over Cavaliers- After an opening night defeat to the Bulls the Cavaliers have reeled off seven straight wins including a 96-86 win in Cleveland over the Knicks. New York is a much improved clubs from last years version with the addition of 7-foot -inch 19 year old Kristaps Porzingis who has had four double-doubles in the last six games. LeBron James has been clutch down the stretch of games as the Cavs are with Kyrie Irving, Iman Shumpart and J.R. Smith (questionable). With Aaron Afflalo back in action the Knicks have more depth and balance. Take NEW YORK! |

Clippers at Phoenix 10:30 ET Suns (+) over Clippers- The Clippers are off last night's 118-108 loss in Dallas where the Mavericks deemed that contest 'DeAndre Jordangate' and it was just too much for Los Angeles to overcome. Now, they travel to Phoenix where they have defeated the Suns four straight time and eight straight times in the series. The Suns had won 11 of 12 home games against the Clippers prior to the current four-game losing streak. Chris Paul is hurting (2-of-11 shooting last night) and the Suns have a back court with Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight to take advantage. Take PHOENIX! |

Buffalo at New York Jets 8:25 ET Jets (-) over Bills- Well, I know one thing for sure (I think) and that is Geno Smith will not be walking to mid-field representing the Jets as a captain fore the coin toss. I don't know how the players feel but the Jets brass has got to be pissed over Rex Ryan's lack of respect for Smith and the Jets organization. While still the Jets coach last season with Smith at the helm the Bills crushed New York twice winning 43-23 and 38-3. This time around the Bills win again and Rex gets another win. Take BUFFALO! |

Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech 7:30 ET Yellow Jackets (-) over Hokies- Virginia Tech at 4-5 who have appeared in bowl games 23 straight years must win 2-of-3 to qualify in Frank Beamer's farewell season. Georgia Tech 3-6 is having an even more disappointing this year and must win their final three contest to qualify for a bowl game and they have Miami-FL and Georgia on deck. The Yellow Jackets are off a loss to lowly Virginia while the Holies have has two weeks off their win over Boston College. Georgia Tech has lost it's incentive whereas the Hokies still have theirs.

L.A. Clippers at Dallas 8:00 ET Mavericks (+) Clippers- The first real revenge game of the season will be played tonight in Dallas where the Mavericks host the Clippers and this one's all about L.A.'s center DeAndre Jordan and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Just to remind you Jordan committed to a free-agent signing with Dallas and then backed-out causing Cuban to go nuts. Last night 'we' posted the Pelicans over the Mavs because of tonight's match-up so it's DALLAS! |

Golden State at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- Golden State has yet in to incur a loss and one of their wins during their 8-0 start was a 119-69 romp over Memphis on November 2. That was the worst loss in franchise history for the Grizzlies who are off to a slow start. Memphis returns home for their first game after a 5-game road trip (1-4) and open with the defending Champions. Memphis suffered another defeat Monday at the hands of the Clippers 94-92 in a game that the Grizzlies felt they returned to their formidable style of basketball. Look for Memphis to pick-up the defensive pressure tonight and redeem themselves. Take the GRIZZLIES! |

Northern Illinois at Buffalo 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Huskies- Northern Illinois has won four straight including our huge win over Toledo last week and now face a Buffalo squad that rallied last week for a win over Kent State for their third straight win. We can't under value the impact of the Huskies taking out an undefeated conference opponent winning their fourth straight contest and now they face a middle of the road foe who will have to win this game on emotion themselves. Northern Illinois is just 2-3 on the road and will struggle here. Take BUFFALO! |

11-11-15 | Bowling Green v. Western Michigan +3 | 41-27 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Bowling Green at Western Michigan 8:00 ET Broncos (+) over Falcons- bowling Green has one of the most efficient quarterbacks in College football as Matt Johnson has thrown for 3,686 yards with 33 touchdown passes and only 3 interceptions and their two top running back both average over five-yards per carry. Western Michigan who is 4-1 at home and 5-0 in conference put up 711 total yards from scrimmage against Ball State their last time out and have won their last five with losses coming against Ohio State and Michigan State. The Broncos are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 MAC games and get it done tonight. Take WESTERN MICHIGAN! |

11-10-15 | Toledo v. Central Michigan +4.5 | 28-23 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 46 m | Show | |
Toledo at Central Michigan 8:00 ET Chippewas (+) over Rockets- Toledo was upended by Northern Illinois last week and received their first defeat of the year. Well, I call this the 'Bang-Bang' theory where the emotion setback from their first loss this late in the season is difficulty to over come. Central Michigan has dropped the last five in this series but had won the previous five and I expect a turn-around here. Both these clubs have been great to their backers with Toledo (6-1-1 ATS) doing it on the ground and Central Michigan (7-1-1 ATS) using a superior air attack. Being at home could be the difference tonight. Take the CHIPPEWAS! |

The Utah Jazz have won their last two holding their last two opponents to 81.5 points per game. Defense is the key for the Jazz who lead the NBA in scoring defense and held three team to under 80 points in their six games thus far. This is the first game in a road trip for Utah and the final contest in a four-game home stand for Cleveland. With defense the key the Jazz get it done here. Take UTAH! |

Oklahoma City at Washington 7:05 ET Wizards (+) over Thunder- The Wizards had a four-point lead enter the final quarter last time out against Atlanta and then folded in the fourth getting outscored 31-11. Oklahoma City suffered three straight loss then got right by pounding Phoenix 124-103 at home on Sunday. This season has a long way to go but Washington who has one of the best back court combo's in the NBA with John Wall and Bradley Beal leads the NBA in turnovers with Wall the worst offender averaging five per contest. Beal who left Saturday's loss to injury must play here for the Wizards to keep up with Russell Westbrook. Take WASHINGTON! |

The Clippers who opened the season with four straight wins have dropped their last two to Golden State and Houston by a total of eight points. These two split four games last season with the Grizzlies winning the first two and Los Angles the final two. This times it's MEMPHIS! |

11-09-15 | Bears +4.5 v. Chargers | 22-19 | Win | 100 | 30 h 27 m | Show | |
Chicago at San Diego 8:30 ET Bears (+) over Chargers- Chicago may have made a coaching change but as long as Jay Cutler is your leader it will remain that 'same old Bears.' Most thought thing would be different when John Fox was hired but the Bears still manage to lose games that they should have won. The storyline entering this contest is that San Diego isn't much better as their four0game losing streak and 2-6 record would indicate. Chicago is a little banged-up and will be without Matt Forte and Eddie Royal but I don't know if that ill really make a difference. Phillip River has thrown for 300 yards or more in five straight game but like I said they have four their last four anyway. One positive thing for Chicago is that will Cutler leading the way they are 11-4 in his last 15 games against the AFC. In a surprise. take Da' BEARS! |

Detroit at Portland 9:00 ET Pistons (+) over Trailblazers- Portland has won three straight with a huge transition from last year's squad as four impact players are gone. Detroit who started last season 2-17 is already 4-2 as Andre Drummond has become a force at both ends of the floor as he is averaging 18.6 points and 19 rebounds per game. The Blazers have won five straight in this series but that streak is about to end tonight. With such a small number posted out of Vegas it tells me the Pistons are the side tonight. Take DETROIT! |

Philadelphia at Dallas 8:30 ET Cowboys (+) over Eagles- After opening the season with two impressive victories Dallas has dropped five-in-a-row since the injury to Tony Romo. One of those two wins was a against these same Eagles in Philadelphia 20-10. The Eastern Division is still wide open as the Giants are on top with a 4-4 record with the Eagles just a half-game behind and the Cowboys just a game-and-a-half despite their losing streak. The 'Boys make-shift backfield will have Matt Cassel at the helm and Darren McFadden running the ball. Brandon Weeden is in the wings with a 92.2 QB rating compared to Cassel's 58.5. Defense will be the key here. Take DALLAS! |

Denver at Indianapolis 4:25 ET Colts (+) over Broncos- Denver is off a huge win over the Packers last Sunday night in a battle of unbeaten's and should regress after a game they the were 'Mile-high' for. The Colts showed some life in the fourth quarter against the undefeated Panthers and must now face another undefeated Club but this time from their own conference. Peyton manning returns to Lucas Oil Stadium and will be facing his replacement Andrew Luck who showed signs of recovery last Monday. With a new offensive co-ordinator the Colts will have more focus as they realize jobs are on the line. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Atlanta at San Francisco 4:05 ET 49ers (+) over Falcons- God-awful is what the Niners are and they prove it almost every week. (Almost every week) But, there are moments when they play like professional and with a replacement at quarterback they can't be any worse with Blaine Gabbert taking over for Colin Kaepernick. Or could they, but they have just 331 yards and only nine points in their last two losses. Part of the problem is that the squad never thought that they had a chance to win with Kaepernick at the helm. With a change I expect a big effort from San Francisco. Take the NINERS! |

11-08-15 | Giants v. Bucs +3 | Top | 32-18 | Loss | -120 | 28 h 32 m | Show |
New York at Tampa Bay 4:05 ET Buccaneers (+) over Giants- Here it is! The game we have all been waiting for. The Giants defense has been exposed as they have virtually no pass rush with just nine sacks in eight games as Drew Brees threw for seven touchdowns last week. Jason Pierre Paul might play but can't get a grasp on defense and is not in game shape. Tampa Bay is 4th in rushing believe it or not as Doug Martin goes against a defense that has allowed 428 yards per game. Jamis Winston is progressing and the Bucs will be ready for the imposter Giants. Take TAMPA BAY! |

Green Bay at Carolina 1:00 ET Panthers (+) over Packers- The Green Bay Packers are off a Sunday night beat-down by the Denver Broncos that we all witnessed as Aaron Rogers passed for just 50 yards. Meanwhile, on Monday night the Panthers build a lead and then let the Colts back in it with three fourth quarter scores until their defense took over and won by a field goal in overtime. The 'public' and odds-makers have over-reacted by making the Packers the favorite here obviously under-rating Carolina's defense. They will find out here it's for real. Take the PANTHERS! |

Washington at New England 1:00 ET Redskins (+) over Patriots- This is a perfect spot for the Patriots to take the week off after three straight conference wins (last two division games) and a trip the New York to met their NFC nemesis the Giants. Washington has had two weeks to prepare after their huge comeback win over Tampa Bay where they trailed 24-0 at the half. Kirk Cousins is taking advantage of his opportunity at quarterback throwing for 317 yards and three touchdowns last time out. As the Patriots look ahead the redskins keep it close. Take WASHINGTON! |

L.S.U. at Alabama 8:00 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Tigers- the SEC classic match-up pits strength against strength as LSU's Heisman candidate Leonard Fournette will run against the nation's number one rushing defense in Alabama. Considering the Tigers come into this game ranked #3 and the Tide are ranked #7 the points indicate a strong Vegas opinion on Alabama. I'm sure the public and I have already seen most professional handicappers have fallen into a trap and are taking the points. Don't let this happen to you. Be an easy winner Saturday night by taking Alabama and watch their defense dominate the Tigers. Take the CRIMSON TIDE! |

Washington at Atlanta 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Hawks- After an opening night loss to the New York Knicks the Atlanta Hawks have reeled off six straight wins including a 121-115 win over the Pelicans in New Orleans last night. At the same time the Wizards were being man-handled by the Celtics in Boston 118-98 despite another 24 point night by Bradley Beal. Washington will have to pick-up their defense tonight after allowing 72 first half points Friday as they look to redeem themselves for last season's playoff defeat to the Hawks. Take the WIZARDS! |

11-07-15 | Michigan State v. Nebraska +6.5 | 38-39 | Win | 100 | 28 h 29 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Nebraska 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Spartans- I've been wonder all season how long it will take for the Nebraska 'Brass' to realize that the Mike Riley hire is a disaster. He is one of the worst 'game' coaches in football calling time outs on defense when the opposition has the ball and no time outs. He did it twice this season before the final plays against BYU and Wisconsin and gave their offenses time to gather them selfs and then score on the final play to get the win. The Cornhusker are a weak 3-6 and off a loss to Purdue where they surrendered 55 points. That's 55 points to Purdue in case you missed it. Here comes Michigan State (8-0) who's dreams were rekindled by the unlikely win at Michigan and are just 2-6 ATS trying not to giggle while watching tapes of the Cornhuskers play last week. Just remember as I have said before no team is as bad as they look one week to the next. Somehow...it's NEBRASKA! |

11-07-15 | Magic v. 76ers +4 | 105-97 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Orlando at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Magic- The Orlando Magic handed the Toronto Raptors their first loss last night and now they take to the road and will be the victims of Philadelphia's first win. The 76ers are 0-5 straight-up but have played well enough to go 3-2 ATS while the Magic who are 2-4 straight-up are 6-0 ATS. Philadelphia who started last season 0-17 have 12 player with two years experience or less but rookie Jahil Okafor has scored at least 18 points in four of his first five games. With a young spirited effort the 76ers get it done tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

11-07-15 | TCU v. Oklahoma State +6 | 29-49 | Win | 100 | 25 h 0 m | Show | |
TCU at Oklahoma State 3:30 ET Cowboys (+) over Horned Frogs- Two of the Big-12 undefeated clubs clash when 8-0 Oklahoma State host 8-0 TCU in the first of what will be a number of conference showdowns. The Horned Frogs are ranked 8th and the Cowboys 14th and this should be a complete shoot-out as the Frogs average 49 points per contest and the 'Boys 44 per game. Oklahoma State holds a 13-10-2 series edge and is looking for revenge after last season's 42-9 loss. Take the COWBOYS! |

11-07-15 | Arizona State +3 v. Washington State | 24-38 | Loss | -120 | 25 h 41 m | Show | |
Arizona State at Washington State 3:30 ET Sun Devils (+) over Cougars- So here is Arizona State (4-4) who many predicted would win PAC-12 and possible contend to be on of the Final Four and they are at .500 for the season and are just 2-6 ATS. Washington State who lost their opener to Portland State as a 30-point favorite has bounced back nicely covering five straight and six of their last seven. One thing about the Cougars season is that they are 6-0 ATS as an underdog and 0-2 as a favorite and this week they are in the favorites roll once again. They are off a heartbreaking loss last week missing the game winning field goal attempt on the final play to come up short 30-28 against Stanford. They will carry that bitter loss with them this week as the Sun Devils rebound off two straight losses. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

11-07-15 | NC State v. Boston College +4 | 24-8 | Loss | -106 | 26 h 56 m | Show | |
N.C State at Boston College 12:30 ET Eagles (+) over Wolfpack- Boston College made the move to the ACC and since then they have had difficulties not only on the football field but on the basketball court as well. The Eagles are 0-6 in conference play this season and host N.C. State who are off a physical beating by Clemson last Saturday and they only have one ACC win themselves. As bad as the Eagle's have looked they have always played well at home against the Wolfpack post six wins in seven meetings. Take BOSTON COLLEGE! |

Duke at North Carolina 12:00 ET Tar Heels (-) over Blue Devils- The Tar Heels have reeled off seven straight wins and are now ranked #21 in the nation and they are 4-0 in ACC play. The Blue Devils are still 'bumming' over the final play of the Miami game and we all know what happened there. Coach David Cutcliffe and his club are still carrying that bogus loss in their heads. North Carolina has dominated this series on the gridiron winning 22 of the the last 25 meetings. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

11-07-15 | Vanderbilt +21 v. Florida | 7-9 | Win | 100 | 25 h 26 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt at Florida 12:00 ET Commodores (+) over Gators- Florida is a 21-point favorite here and would love to run up the score if they can. The Gators have a two game lead in the SEC East and with two conference games left to play can clinch a spot in the Championship game with a win here against Vanderbilt or next week. The Commodores were shutout last week by Houston 34-0 after having posted a win over Missouri for their only SEC victory. Vandy is much improved by past versions and can surprise the book-makers by keeping this one closer than most believe. Take VANDERBILT! |

11-06-15 | Hawks v. Pelicans +3 | 121-115 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Atlanta at New Orleans 8:05 ET Pelicans (+) over Hawks- The New Orleans Pelicans and their 'new' coach Alvin Gentry are still seeking their first win of the season as they host last year's No. 1 seed in the East in Atlanta. The hawks are 5-1 and have done it with defense going 3-0 on the road and holding opponents to 95 points per contest. Anthony Davis has had a slow start and was just 3-of-12 shooting while scoring only 14 points last time out. The Pelicans have been slowed by injuries but will fight through it all tonight. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

11-06-15 | Wizards v. Celtics +1.5 | 98-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
Washington at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Wizards- Both these club are coming off last-second decisions in their last encounters as the Wizards upended San Antonio 102-99 with a shot at the buzzer by Bradley Beal and the Celtics fell short at Indiana 100-98. The clubs have mirror records of each other as Washington enters this fray 3-1 and Boston is 0-3. Beal who has scored 24 or more points in each of the Wizards four games struggled in Boston last season going 4-of-18 from the floor while the Celtics have struggled getting their big men untracked. Brad Stevens will have his corps ready tonight. Take BOSTON! |

11-06-15 | Bucks +2 v. Knicks | 99-92 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at New York Knicks 7:35 ET Bucks (+) over Knicks- These two met in their season opener in Milwaukee as the Knicks took apart the Bucks 122-97 as their bench produced a 73-point advantage. At 2-3 New York is off a pair of 10-point losses to two of the league best teams in the Spurs and Cavaliers. Milwaukee struggled in their win over Philadelphia last time out winning 91-87 as Jabari Parker made his season debut with two points on 1-for-6 shooting. The Bucks won all four meetings last season and with Carmelo Anthony still not shooting straight (36.5%) they will revenge their opening loss here. Take MILWAUKEE! |

11-05-15 | Mississippi State v. Missouri +8.5 | 31-13 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
Mississippi State at Missouri 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 25 Mississippi State travels to play the struggling Missouri Tigers who are in the mist of a three-game skid. Missouri does possess the SEC's No. 1 scoring defense allowing only 12.5 points per contest but have had huge quarterback problems the entire season. Starting with junior Marty Mauk who hasn't played since October 3rd and was finally suspended for the remainder of the season this week. The Tigers are 9-1 straight-up against teams from Mississippi including 2-0 versus State. At home in a fierce battle the Tigers get it together. Take MISSOURI! |

11-05-15 | Hornets +4 v. Mavs | 108-94 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Dallas 8:30 ET Hornets (+) over Mavericks- The Hornets delivered to us another 'Guaranteed' winner 130-106 over the Bulls on Tuesday and I feel that we should stay with the 'hot hand.' Charlotte had a strong pre-season holding foes to under 90 points per contest and after their 0-3 start are back to hard nosed efforts. The Hornets are young, eager and more confident with malcontent Lance Stephenson out of the picture. Take CHARLOTTE! |

11-05-15 | Browns +11.5 v. Bengals | 10-31 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Cincinnati 8:00 ET Bengals (-) over Bengals- I've had enough of the Cleveland Browns. Last week using them against Arizona they build a 20-7 lead just before they half and were pummeled 27-0 in the second half. This week they get the pleasure of Johnny 'Football' Manziel leading the way. The undefeated Bengals have split the last four meetings with the Browns but with Andy Dalton off his worst game of the season against the Steelers and still managing a victory I see a stronger focus in this battle of Buckeye rivals. My buddy ML tells me that NFL teams that are 7-0 straight-up are 2-8 ATS against sub .500 clubs including 0-4 ATS against a division opponent. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-05-15 | Buffalo v. Kent State +3 | 18-17 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Buffalo at Kent State 7:00 ET Golden Flashes (+) over Bulls- Buffalo is playing their third game in 13 days while is playing for the first time in 12 days. Defensively is appears that Buffalo is superior surrendering almost 3-less points per game 25 to 27.5 but upon further review we see that Kent is giving up just 330 yards per game while the Bulls give up 405 yards per contest. With time to prepare the Flashes will concentrate on holding on to the ball and their defense will do the rest. Take KENT STATE! |
|||||||
11-04-15 | Kings v. Suns -9 | 97-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (-) over Kings- Sacramento will be without All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins for a few days after straining his right Achilles tendon in Saturday's loss to the L.A. Clippers and will difficulty handling Suns center Tyson Chandler who has 14 points and 17 rebounds in a loss to the Clippers. Last night the Kings were playing Memphis a 103-89 loss. Meanwhile the Suns are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games versus a team with a losing straight-up record and with Eric Bledsoe is averaging 21 points it will be just too much for the Kings to deal with. The Kings were 6-18 without Cousins last season and are already 0-1 this year. Take PHOENIX! |

11-04-15 | Nets +8.5 v. Hawks | 87-101 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Atlanta 8:00 ET Nets (+) over Hawks- The Brooklyn Nets (0-4) are still looking for their first win of the season while the Hawks who finished last year with the best record in the East are off last night's 98-92 win in Miami. Atlanta has won four-in-a-row but is 0-2 ATS at home this season and 0-5 ATS at home in their last five while the Nets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games against a team with a winning record above 60%. The Nets will have to do it with defense and the Hawks will have to sleepwalk tonight. Take BROOKLYN! |

11-04-15 | Ohio v. Bowling Green -20.5 | 24-62 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Ohio at Bowling Green 8:00 ET Falcons (-) over Bobcats- We know that everyone has taken notice of the Baylor Bears because their offense scores over 60 points per game but the Bowling Green Falcons have an offense that rivals any other in college football as they average 599 yards in MAC play led by quarterback Johnson who has a 15-1 TD-to-INT ratio. The Falcons are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven contests while Ohio is 1-4-1 ATS in their last six conference games. Bowling Green's two losses came at the hands of undefeated Memphis and Tennessee two top tier clubs. Falcons fly high here. Take BOWLING GREEN! |
