10-16-21 | Florida v. LSU +12.5 | 42-49 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
Florida at L.S.U. 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Gators- Oh how the mighty have fallen. Two years ago LSU was the 2019 National Champion behind Heisman winner Joe Burrow and now they about to go under .500 as a double-digit home underdog to Florida. The Tigers are off an embarrassing loss to Kentucky surrendering 330 yards rushing and have out-gained on the ground in their last three games against Auburn, Miss State and the Wildcats by 365 yards. The Gators are No. 3 in the nation rushing and average 274 ypg on the ground. So, illogically I'll take the Tigers... somehow it's LSU! |

10-16-21 | Michigan State v. Indiana +4.5 | Top | 20-15 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 5 m | Show |
Michigan State at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- These two have switched positions this season as compared to last. Indiana was 6-2 last year and showed so much promise behind quarterback Michael Penix, Jr but have yet to score touchdown in a pair of Big Ten games against Penn State and Iowa while Michigan State after a horror show last year are 6-0 this time around and looking stronger every week. So, I ask you with Penix sidelined with a shoulder injury why is this line so inviting. The Spartans have won 10 of the last 12 meetings but were upended 24-0 at home last season by the Spartans. Jack Tuttle was 1-1 as a starter at QB last season for the Hoosiers and will be an improvement over the inaccurate throwing Penix. Take INDIANA! |

10-16-21 | Texas A&M v. Missouri +11.5 | 35-14 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
Texas A&M at Missouri 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Aggies- Having posted the Aggies last week as one of my top releases in their convincing win over Alabama I only wish this game started later in the day so we could load up on Missouri. Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher states that his club 'won't be pounding their chests' this week after beating the No. 1 team in the nation but I doubt he can prevent them from walking on air this week. Not only did they take down the No.1 team but they took down ALABAMA! Missouri who is 0-6 ATS this season hasn't 'covered' a game since last November and are actually 0-9 ATS in their last nine games overall but are averaging 467 yards a game compared to the Aggies 377 ypg. Also, the Tigers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings are are in a perfect spot to pull off an outright upset...take MISSOURI! |

10-15-21 | Red Sox +127 v. Astros | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 23 m | Show |
Boston at Houston 8:07 ET Red Sox over Astros- Chris Sale who has been nothing short of terrible surrendering 10 earned runs in his last three starts covering 8.2 innings with an ERA of 10.98 so I fully expect him to shut down the Astros here. Now, I realize that both clubs will have major home field advantages as they BOTH will be aware of what pitches are coming when they are at the plate but, Sale can be difficult even if you know what is on its way. Sawx manager Alex Cora has been in the middle of sign stealing on both sides so may be able to counter Houston's shenanigans. Houston is slated to start Framber Valdez (0-0, 8.31 ERA) and he hasn't been any better than Sale. Take BOSTON! |

10-15-21 | Clemson -13.5 v. Syracuse | 17-14 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Clemson at Syracuse 7:00 ET Tigers (-) over Orange- Clemson's non-cover streak is now at six games going 0-5 ATS this season and I'll throw in their final game last year when as 7-point favorites they were blowout by Ohio State 49-28 and it wasn't even that close. So, the Tigers who are dead last in passing efficiency in the ACC are a double-digit favorite on the road at Syracuse (5-1 ATS) where the Orange have won and covered their last three games as hosts. Although the dog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings (Tigers favored in all seven) the Tigers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 as road favorites and 14-5 ATS in their last 19 road games overall. 'We' will be bucking some positive trends on the Syracuse side as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven as underdogs and 5-1 ATS at home in their last six. Still, it's time for the tigers to roar! Tigers have the best scoring defense in the ACC allowing just 11.5 points a game. Take CLEMSON! |

10-14-21 | Dodgers v. Giants -104 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -104 | 28 h 39 m | Show |
L.A. Dodgers at San Francisco 9:07 ET Giants over Dodgers- Both of these clubs have won 109 games and it comes down to the final in a Best-of-Five series to advance to the NLCS. The Dodgers have listed 21-game winner Julio Urias (2.93 ERA) as their starter against the Giants Logan Webb (12-3, 2.83) who shut down L.A. in 7.2 innings in the series opener. San Francisco earned the home field here by beating out the Da' Bums (formerly Brooklyn) by winning 54 of 83 home games. Webb just passes the eye test to me striking out 10 in the series opener. Take the GIANTS! |

10-14-21 | Bucs v. Eagles +7.5 | 28-22 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Philadelphia 8:20 ET Eagles (+) over Buccaneers- We should all understand the greatness of Tom Brady by now winning a record seven Super Bowls and still playing at 44 years old, but at this point to be the leading passer in the NFL with other greats like Rodgers and Mahomes among his peers is boggling. Tom-Tom has 1,767 passing yards to lead the league and 15 TD passes which ranked him No. 2 behind Mahomes and no interceptions in his last 2-3 attempts. By comparison his QB opponent tonight Jalen Hurts has seven TD passes with three Int's. But, Tampa Bay will be short-handed in many areas and will be without Brady's favorite target Rob Gronkowski and their defense will be depleted as well. The Eagles have the leagues No. 3 passing defense and will surprise the Bucs with their underrated defense. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

10-14-21 | Navy v. Memphis -10.5 | 17-35 | Win | 100 | 26 h 41 m | Show | |
Navy at Memphis 7:30 ET Tigers (-) over Midshipman- After a 3-0 start Memphis has dropped their last three while an undermanned Navy team has managed just one win in five starts. The Tigers three losses are by a combined 12 points but still, they average 499.3 yards per game including 323 in the air while the Middies average just 62.6 passing yards a game. As a matter of fact the Navy offense is offensive averaging just 282.6 yards ranking 126 in NCAA rankings. Navy scores just 17.6 a game (No. 121) while Memphis puts up 36 points a game ranking No. 24. Take MEMPHIS! |

10-12-21 | Appalachian State v. UL-Lafayette +5 | Top | 13-41 | Win | 100 | 25 h 10 m | Show |
Appalachian State at UL Lafayette 7:30 ET Ragin' Cajuns (+) over Mountaineers- Great matchup between a pair of 4-1 clubs from the underrated Sun Belt Conference. App. State of course has more notoriety and their loss came at Miami-Fl 25-23 a game they could have won when the Hurricanes had a healthy D'Eriq King. A questionable pass interference gave Miami field position to the win otherwise they could be undefeated. Lafayette's lone loss came in their opener at Texas 38-18 and we have seen how good the Longhorns are. The Mountaineers are 5-11 ATS in their last b165n games as favorites and the underdogs in 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings while the Cajuns are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as underdogs. Take UL LAFAYETTE! |

10-12-21 | Astros v. White Sox -110 | Top | 10-1 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Houston at Chicago W.S. 3:37 ET White Sox over Astros- Home cooking has been the winning formula in this series as Chicago won 12-6 Sunday after the Astros had won the first two games at home. Houston will send Lance McCullers to the mound and his counterpart for the White Sox will be Carlos Rodon (13-8, 2.37) who saw less and less action after the All-star break because of arm fatigue and has pitched just eight innings since September 20. But, he is 2-0 with a 1.55 ERA in seven career starts against Houston and will go far enough in this one to get the win. Take WHITE SOX! |
|||||||
10-11-21 | Colts +7.5 v. Ravens | 25-31 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Baltimore 8:15 ET Colts (+) over Ravens- Baltimore is looking to set rushing records (43 straight games with at least 100 yards on the ground) while Indianapolis is just trying to post a victory. They got their first win of the season last week defeating Miami 27-17 on the road and now they travel once again where the Ravens are looking to build on their home win over Kansas City three weeks ago. The Colts will have Carson Wentz looking to stay turnover free and improve on their 6-2 ATS roads record. The Ravens are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 overall but struggle against Indy going 2-10 ATS in the last 12 meetings including 1-6 ATS as hosts. The numbers say to take the dog. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

10-11-21 | Rays v. Red Sox -105 | Top | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Tampa Bay at Boston Red Sox 7:07 ET Red Sox over Rays- After losing Game 1 of this Best-of-five series the Red Sox have the 'Mojo' now and will close out this series tonight at Fenway Park. Boston will wear those 'chicken yellow' uniforms to honor those running the Boston Marathon and will start Eduardo Rodriguez who was knocked out of the series opener while allowing two runs in just 1.2 innings. The Rays will start ant of 11 pitchers that they will end up using as is what they do. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
10-11-21 | Brewers +103 v. Braves | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 48 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Atlanta 1:07 ET Brewers over Braves- Atlanta was able to split their two games in Milwaukee and now will have contend with the best road team in MLB as the Brewers are 50-31 away from home. The Braves will start hard throwing right-hander Ian Anderson (9-5, 3.58 ERA) who had a stellar appearance against the Brew Crew allowing one run and just two hits against the weak hitting Brewers in seven inning. Milwaukee will mostly like start Freddy Peralta (10-5, 2.81) and in his lone start against Atlanta went six scoreless innings striking out eight while allowing just two hits. Milwaukee is 40-19 on the road against right-handers and are 9-3 in their last 12 games after an off day. Take MILWAUKEE! |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -3 | Top | 38-20 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
Buffalo at Kansas City 8:20 ET Chiefs (-) over Bills- I believe there has been an over-reaction to Buffalo and the 'public' will be loading up on the Bills in this one. Granted they have been far more impressive than Kansas City as Patrick Mahomes has thrown four interceptions with the Chiefs committing seven turnovers while the Bills lead the NFL with 11 takeaways and have the NFL's No. 1 defense allowing just 216.8 YPG. Of course they have played four of the worst offensive team in the league in Pittsburgh, Washington, Houston and Miami. Things will look different to them this week. Take KANSAS CITY! |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Astros v. White Sox -113 | Top | 6-12 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
Houston at Chicago White Sox 8:07 ET White Sox over Astros- It's do or die for Chicago after failing both games in Houston. The White Sox will start Dylan Cease (13-7, 3.91 ERA) who is 0-3 lifetime against Houston with an ERA of 6.60 in just 15 innings work. But, playoff action is a different ball game. The Astros will send Luis Garcia (11-8, 3.30) to the hill and he haD a no decision in his lone start against Chicago throwing seven innings and allowing just one hit. But, this one goes to the WHITE SOX! |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Giants +7 v. Cowboys | 20-44 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
New York Giants at Dallas 4:25 ET Giants (+) over Cowboys- So, Troy Aikman made headlines in the New York newspapers saying that the 'Giants aren't even in Dallas' class.' And maybe he is right but to give a division foe that kind of incentive won't help the Cowboys here. These two split last year with the Giants getting the cash both games including when a 7-point dog in Dallas getting the money 34-37. Daniel Jones is coming off his best game as a pro throwing for a career high 402 yards and Saquon Barkley showed signs of his old self since returning from last years injury. NY is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 against the NFL and 22-6 ATS in their last 28 as road underdogs and Dallas is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 as favorites.Take NEW YORK! |

10-10-21 | Browns +2.5 v. Chargers | 42-47 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Cleveland at L.A. Chargers 4:05 ET Browns (+) over Chargers- Having had the Chargers in their impressive win Monday night against the Raiders don't see how the oddsmakers opened Cleveland the favorite (the number has since moved). Both these clubs are 3-1 both SU and ATS and are ranked in the Top-10 on defense with the Browns allowing just 250 YPG and L.A. 332. Jim Brown is long gone but Cleveland leads the NFL in rushing averaging 177 YPG on the ground while the Charger defense allows 139.5 rushing yards ranking No. 29 in the NFL. Cleveland is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the dog going 7-0. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Packers v. Bengals +3 | 25-22 | Push | 0 | 6 h 33 m | Show | |
Green Bay at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Packers- Okay, so Green Bay won again last week taking my A-Play Megabucks Steelers (5-1) down and now the 'bookies' have made them an inviting play after winning three straight against the upstart Bengals. Cincinnati can also boost of their No. 1 draft pick quarterback Joe Burrow who is establishing himself as a premiere QB leading the his club to a 3-1 record. Cincy is allowing just 323 YPG while the Packers offense in ranked 25th with just 318 YPG. Green bay is just 3-7 ATS on the road against teams with a winning home record and the Bengals are 5-2 ATS as home as underdogs and the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take CINCINNATI! |
|||||||
10-10-21 | Titans v. Jaguars +4.5 | 37-19 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Titans- What else can go wrong with the Jaguars this season? They haven't won a game (0-4) yet, their No. 1 draft pick quarterback leads the NFL in interceptions, their coach who was a coaching whore in college has shown he is the same in private life has supposedly lost the players in the locker room. So, with all that being it's a good thing the players have to go out on the field and play the game. Tennessee meanwhile lost last week to the Jets and many expect them to bounce back this week but losing to that New York team can tell more about the Titans than most realize. It's so illogical taking the Jaguars I have to have them. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

10-10-21 | Saints v. Washington Football Team +2.5 | 33-22 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Washington 1:00 ET Swampers (+) over Saints- Both these clubs are 2-2 but enter this contest with contrasting results last time out. New Orleans blew a 11-point fourth quarter lead to the Giants and lost in OT while the Swampers overcame a 9-point deficit in the final two minutes and defeated Atlanta scoring a pair of touchdowns. Both clubs struggle on offense with the Saints ranked 28 averaging just 267 YPG while the former 'Skins' are No. 20 averaging 342 YPG. Washington is last in takeaways and that will change this week as long as Winston plays for the Saints. Take WASHINGTON! |

10-09-21 | Alabama v. Texas A&M +18 | 38-41 | Win | 100 | 25 h 21 m | Show | |
Alabama at Texas A&M 8:00 ET Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- how can anyone take the Aggies after what we have seen this season? They will need more than a '12th man' for this one and should get it fro the men in stripes. The fact that this game has been moved into prime time something the Tide is used to will spur Texas A&M to avoid embarrassment. Looking for any thing to support 'my' position here I note that Alabama is just 1-5 ATS against teams with winning home records and that A&M is 4-1 ATS in games following an ATS loss and last week they were looking ahead to this encounter. Take TEXAS A&M! |

10-09-21 | Michigan v. Nebraska +3 | Top | 32-29 | Push | 0 | 25 h 12 m | Show |
Michigan at Nebraska 7:30 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Wolverines- Both of these head coaches are under the gun this season as Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and Nebraska's Scott Frost have been disappointments are being pressured by alumni who are not happy with current state their programs. The Wolverines look much improved this season (5-0, 4-1 ATS) while then Cornhuskers (3-3, 4-1-1 ATS) have made positive strides although they have just split their first six games but are a positive 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Michigan meanwhile is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven Big Ten matchups while the Huskers are 3-0-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take NEBRASKA! |

10-09-21 | LSU +2.5 v. Kentucky | 21-42 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 53 m | Show | |
L.S.U. at Kentucky 7:30 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- No. 16 Kentucky posted their biggest upset win in over a decade last week downing No. 10 Florida 20-13 and remained unbeaten (5-0, 3-0 SEC). Defense has been the key for the Wildcats allowing just 284.4 YPG while their offense still has issues as their passing game was 7-of-17 for just 87 yards. LSU was upset by Auburn and are having their own issues on offense as they average just 70.8 YPG rushing which used to be their strong point. But, with Georgia up next for the Wildcats they could get caught peeking. Take LSU! |

10-09-21 | Oregon State v. Washington State +4 | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 18 h 16 m | Show | |
Oregon State at Washington State 4:00 ET Cougars (+) over Beavers- Does this seem right to you...it doesn't to me. Here is Oregon State 4-1 SU and ATS who have impressive victories over USC and Washington a small favorite against a Cougars team that is 2-3 with a loss against lowly Utah State. Upon further review we can see that the Beavers defeated the Huskies with only 48 yards passing while Washington State defeated California 21-6 allowing just 273 total yards on defense. The Cougars have won the last seven meetings and the 'beat goes on here.' Take WASHINGTON STATE! |

10-09-21 | Boise State +6 v. BYU | 26-17 | Win | 100 | 18 h 3 m | Show | |
Boise State at BYU 3:30 ET Broncos (+) over Cougars- BYU is 5-0 and most likely will find themselves dueling with Cincinnati for the first Non-Big-5 FBS championship berth. The Cougars have won seven straight and 16 of 17 dating back to last season as they have yet to trail in a game this season. Boise State is struggling against the run allowing 191 YPG but are 7-1 ATS as road underdogs and the roads team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. BYU seems to play to the level of their competition as they are 1-5-1 ATS against teams with losing records and 1-3-1 ATS as home favorites. Take BOISE STATE! |

10-09-21 | Georgia v. Auburn +15.5 | 34-10 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 33 m | Show | |
Georgia at Auburn 3:30 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- My oh my, how can I even consider playing against the Bulldogs who have as much bite as any team in the country. With the No.1 defense allowing just 180.6 YPG and having posted two consecutive shutout wins they will be up against an Auburn offense that averages 478.4 YPG and a defense that allows only 303 YPG. Although the Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings the home team is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings and the Tigers are 10-4 ATS as home underdogs and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 home games overall. Take AUBURN! |

Big-12 NCAAF Power Play Oklahoma vs Texas 12:00 ET Sooners (-) over Longhorns- Oh, how I love this rivalry having witnessed a matchup in Oklahoma year ago when I was in the US Army when I was stationed at Fort Sill, OK. (Yep I fought for 'our' side). But, no matter where this games is played (Dallas nowadays) the intensity is hard to vision as this is the BIGGEST scheduled game for both these schools. The Sooners are 5-0 but an unimpressive 1-4 ATS but have won 17 straight games over the past three seasons although they are 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings winning last year 53-45 in OT making it three straight against the Longhorns. Since replacing Tom Herman this will be Steve Sarkisian's first taste of playing Oklahoma in the rivalry's 117 with the 'Horns winning 62 and Oklahoma 49 with five ties but he won't like this meeting. Take the SOONERS! |

Big Ten Vegas Hotline winner Michigan State at Rutgers 12:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Spartans- After a disappointing season last year Michigan State is 5-0 and 3-0-2 ATS and spirits are high in Lansing. But, looking close at the competition that they have played we can note that they have yet to win against a team with a winning record and in the past two weeks with wins over Nebraska and Western Kentucky they were out gained by 186 yards and 41 yards with the Hilltoppers matting 560 yards against them. Rutgers who is much improved under Greg Schiano was waylay-ed by Ohio State last week and will bounce back with a strong home performance here. Note that the Spartans are 5-15-1 in their last 21 conference game. Take RUTGERS! |

Big Ten Bookie Buster Maryland at Ohio State 12:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- Man were the Terrapins outclassed last week by Iowa (51-14) and now they travel to Columbus to battle Ohio State who had their best game of the season at Rutgers winning 52-13. The scores and outcomes of last weeks games will force these two clubs to come back to the center and it will be much closer than most expect. Maryland is 14-4 ATS after a double-digit home loss and the Buckeyes are 3-9 ATS after passing for more than 280 yards in their previous games. Take MARYLAND! |

10-08-21 | Stanford v. Arizona State -12.5 | Top | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
Stanford at Arizona State 10:30 ET Sun Devils (-) over Cardinal- After defeating No. 3 Oregon last week 31-24 in overtime a huge PAC-12 upset the oddsmakers must believe that Stanford left in all on the field last week as they are almost two touchdown underdogs at Arizona State. The Sun Devils are looking for the third straight conference win and are averaging 444 YPG while holding opponents to 289 YPG and just 17.4 PPG while Stanford allows 406 yards and 26.8 points. This price is way out of whack as it appears the 'Bookies' are making it easy to take Stanford as they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games and the Sun Devils are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites. Lay it with ARIZONA STATE! |

L.A. Rams and Seattle 8:20 ET Seahawks (+) over Rams- The 3-1 Rams are coming off a 37-20 home loss against Arizona as their top rated defense surrendered 465 yards to the Kyler Murray led Cardinals offense. Seattle now 2-2 rebounded after a pair of losses to beat the Niners 28-21 in San Francisco despite being out gained by 223 yards. Under Pete Carroll Seattle is 10-1 (8-1-2 ATS) on Thursday Nights including winning their last nine straight-up. The last time these two met Seattle lost to Los Angeles 30-20 in a home wild-card playoff loss at home. The Rams are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Hawks but Seattle is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as home underdogs but, just 2-9 ATS after a SU win.

Boston at Tampa Bay 8:07 ET Red Sox over Rays- Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (10-6, 3.43 ERA) will start the series opener opposite Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (13-8, 4.74 ERA). McClanahan, 24, will be making his first playoff start after becoming the first pitcher ever to make his major league debut in the postseason last October for the Rays. He pitched to an 8.31 ERA in 4 1/3 innings over four relief appearances but McClanahan went 1-1 with a 2.81 ERA in three starts versus the Red Sox this season. The Red Sox are 3-10 in their last 13 games on astroturf and they are 4-12 in their last 16 games as road underdog.

Yankees and Boston 8:80 ET Red Sox over Yankees- The last time these two were in this position in an A.L playoff was 1978 and the Yankees won as Bucky Dent and Reggie Jackson provided the home runs that the forged New York into the World Series where they defeated Kansas City and George Brett. Boston has won four titles since 2004 while the Bronx Bombers have won only once and will start the highest paid pitcher in baseball as Geritt Cole (16-8, 3.23 ERA) take the mound and he is 2-2 with an ERA of 4.91 in four starts against the red Sox this season. He is 8-4 with a 2.68 ERA in 13 career postseason starts and his pitching opponent will be former Yankee right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (11-9, 3.75) who is 2-2 with a 3.71 ERA in six starts against the Yanks this season and is 2-1 with a 1.61 postseason ERA. Although the Yankees have many weaknesses and defensive issues and are NOT built for the postseason they are the play with Cole on the hill. Take NEW YORK! |

10-04-21 | Raiders v. Chargers -3 | Top | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Las Vegas at L.A. Chargers 8:15 ET Raiders over Chargers- There is just one undefeated AFC team remaining and it is the rejuvenated 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders who bring the NFL passing leader Derek Carr into SoFi Stadium for this MNF encounter. The Raiders rank No. 1 in total offense averaging 471 YPG lead by Carr's 379.7 passing YPG as he was name AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September. Justin Herbert the Chargers second year QB set a rookie record for TD passes last season with 31 and had four scoring throws last week against Kansas City. That being said the underdog is 18-6 ATS in the last 24 meetings and the Raiders are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Los Angeles. And as far as these offensive numbers are concerned these two team play polar opposites as the under is 16-4-1 in the last 21 meetings overall. Take CHARGERS! |

10-03-21 | Bucs v. Patriots +7 | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 26 h 37 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at New England 8:20 ET Patriots (+) over Buccaneers- This may not be the best game of the day but it is the one that is drawing the most attention as Tom Brady returns to the place it all started. Earning five Super Bowl rings with the Patriots at 44 years old he now leads the Buccaneers against his former coach Bill Belichick who many say have destain for each other. One of the keys to Brady's success of late is Rob Gronkowski and he along with four other starters are doubtful for this encounter including Antonio Brown. New England will continue with rookie QB Mac Jones who has shown he can run the Pats offense but is still prone to rookie mistakes. Look for Belichick's defensive seam to keep this one closer than most expect. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

10-03-21 | Steelers +6 v. Packers | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 38 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Green Bay 4:25 ET Steelers (+) over Packers- So, I guess this is the beginning of the end of Ben Roethlisberger which he actually showed signs of in the final five games of 2020 as the Steelers are 3-7 in their last 10 games overall. Aaron Rodgers of course is considered the best 'passer' of the day and has recovered from a horrible opening week 38-3 loss to New Orleans and is back in top form. These two QB's met in Super Bowl XLV when Rogers won his only NFL Championship and named MVP. Despite what we've seen Big Ben is completing 64% of his passes and he will have the return of his top receiver Diontae Johnson and will be aided Najee Harris running the ball for the bottom ranked rushing team in the NFL. The Steelers are 24-8-2 ATS as dogs and 18-7-1 ATS as road dogs and the road team is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take PITTSBURGH! |

10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos +1 | Top | 23-7 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 36 m | Show |
Baltimore at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos (+) over Ravens- Yes the Broncos are 3-0 but as so many have pointed out none of their three opponents have yet to win a game and are 0-10. Baltimore is 2-1 losing their opener against the Raiders after blowing a 14-0 lead. The dueling quarterbacks here are of contrasting styles as the Ravens Lamar Jackson and Denver's Teddy Bridgewater get the jobs done differently. The Broncos defense is No. 2 allowing just 221.7 YPG while Baltimore rep for a stout dense has taken a hit surrendering 394 YPG having played against the NFL top offense in the Raiders. Although the Ravens are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight. Take DENVER! |

10-03-21 | Giants +7 v. Saints | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 18 h 7 m | Show | |
N.Y. Giants at New Orleans 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Saints- Oh, my-oh-my how the New York media has already buried the Giants as their 0-3 start has been blamed on injuries, poor play, penalties and bad coaching decisions. New Orleans is getting to play their first game in the Superdome before a packed house for the first time since the 2019 regular season and as coach Sean Payton said 'It's going to be crazy in that building.' The Giants have lost twice on game ending field goals and their offense most likely will be with tow explosive wide receivers as Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton missed practice this week. Although New York is 0-3-1 ATS in their last four trips at this site they are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games as road underdogs. In a hairy outcome Big Blue gets the money. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Browns v. Vikings +1 | 14-7 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Minnesota 10:00 ET Vikings (+) over Browns- This is a homecoming of sorts as 2020 NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski returns to Minnesota where he was part of the Vikings offensive coaching staff for 24 years. Minnesota has a pair of losses by a total of four points losing to Arizona 34-33 and Cincinnati 27-24. Minnesota running back is a 'probable' starter as he stated he is extremely confident that he will play. The Browns will have three interior linemen out as they were injured in their romp over Pittsburgh last week. Cleveland's role as a road favorite has not been beneficial as they are 1-7 ATS in that spot. This plays right into when Minny is at their best as they are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games as home underdogs. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
10-03-21 | Lions v. Bears -3 | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
Detroit at Chicago 10:00 ET Bears (-) over Lions- In one of the worst offense showing since the NFL started keeping stats the Bears still aren't sure who will be their starting quarterback or do they? Detroit is coming off a loss because of poor coaching decisions in final moments and officials failures to execute the rules of play. There is one difference between these two bottom feeders and that is the Lions are still without a win while Chicago posted a victory over Cincinnati. The oddsmakers don't seem to care as to who starts at QB for the Lions as they are still installed as a 3-point favorite. The Bears are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings at Soldier Field and should get the money here. Take CHICAGO! |

10-02-21 | Arizona State +3 v. UCLA | 42-23 | Win | 100 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
Arizona State at UCLA 10:30 ET Sun Devils (+) over Bruins- These 3-1 PAC-12 clubs match-up nicely on offense with Arizona State gaining 438 YPG and UCLA 434 YPG. On defense it's a different story where the Bruins surrender 394.3 YPG and the Sun Devils just 247.5 YPG raking No. 6 in the nation almost a 150 yard difference. Granted the Bruins have played a slightly harder schedule but not so much as the stats show. Although ASU is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs and UCLA is just 2-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

10-02-21 | Boston College v. Clemson -14.5 | 13-19 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
Boston College at Clemson 7:30 ET Tigers (-) over Eagles- So in this one we have a 4-0 club in Boston College more than a 2-TD underdog to a 2-2 team that is vastly overrated and has troubles scoring points (21.8). The Eagles are scoring 41.3 PPG although their competition is suspect having built stats against the likes of Colgate, Temple and Massachusetts. For Clemson (0-4 ATS) the competition has been much stiffer losing the the nation's best defense versus Georgia and upstart N.C. State. Add that BC is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as road underdogs and that the Tigers are just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings this line seems out of whack. But, like I've said so many time the 'bookmaker' goats you into thinking that you are getting value. Lay it with CLEMSON! |
|||||||
10-02-21 | Oregon v. Stanford +8 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 6 m | Show |
Oregon at Stanford 3:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Ducks- To my surprise this week I see that Oregon is the No. 3 ranked team in the country as the Ducks have reeled off four straight wins but maybe it is because they are just 1-3 ATS that they snuck up on the rankings or maybe it is because or the most part the PAC-12 is not highly regarded. Stanford (2-2) has been inconsistent losing to UCLA last week and Kansas State in their opener while defeating USC in LA and lowly Vanderbilt on the road. The Ducks have 13 takeaways and lead the nation including five interceptions last week against Arizona. I must note that the Ducks are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 7-16-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points in their previous game. The Cardinal are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six PAC-12 games and 5-2-1 ATS overall in their last eight. Take STANFORD! |

10-02-21 | Syracuse v. Florida State -4.5 | 30-33 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Syracuse at Florida State 3:30 ET Seminoles (-) over Orange- Here it is, here's the Seminoles first win of the year after an 0-4 start with their only 'cover' in their opener against Notre Dame. Florida State's biggest problems comes from 11 turnovers. Syracuse is off home games against Albany and Liberty and will find the competition a bit stiffer here although most can't see it as FSU is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But the home team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings and the Orange people are 1-6 ATS after a SU win. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

10-02-21 | Ohio State -14.5 v. Rutgers | 52-13 | Win | 100 | 19 h 53 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Rutgers 3:30 ET Buckeyes (-) over Scarlet Knights- Yes we can see great improvement with Rutgers 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS under coach Greg Schiano's leadership while Ohio State seems to have taken a step backwards. The Buckeyes struggled in their first two outings getting by Minnesota and losing to Oregon at home. But, in their last two games against lesser competition they garnered 1,130 yards against Tulsa and Akron. OSU is 2nd in the nation averaging 559.3 YPG and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Scarlet Knights. Don't be surprised with a blowout here. Take OHIO STATE! |

10-02-21 | Cincinnati -120 v. Notre Dame | Top | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 18 h 58 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Notre Dame 2:30 ET Bearcats over Fighting Irish- What bothers me here is how much attention this game is receiving from the betting public. Usually I like that, but so many aware of the situation, that being the Fighting Irish fantastic record as home underdogs winning 9-of-10 outright in that role and yet there is huge support for Cincinnati and so many would like to see a non Big-5 school make it to the FBS Final-Four and believe the Bearcats will be the first to break through that current barrier. The Bearcats have revenge on their minds as they last time they met ND won 58-0 nah, that was in 1900. Brian Kelly was Cincy's head man from 2007 to 2009. If a team gets 3-pts for home advantage for home filed and you do the math it would make the Cats a 9-pt favorite at home...Bookies dream...Take CINCINNATI! |

NCAAF Power Play Michigan at Wisconsin 12:00 ET Badgers (+) over Wolverines- Okay here we have it (again) an unranked team Wisconsin (2-2) favored over a Top 20 team No. 14 Michigan (4-0). The Wolverines average 291 rushing yards per game while the Badgers defense os No. 1 against the run allowing just 23 YPG. Whisky's offense gains 397 YPG although they score only 19 points a game. What makes even less sense is that the Wolverine defense only allows 11.8 points and yet still undefeated and are an underdog here. The oddsmakers don't care about rankings and know better than pollsters. Take WISCONSIN! |

NCAAF Vegas Hotline Arkansas at Georgia 12:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Razorbacks- Are they (bookmakers) serious...the No. 2 Bulldogs are favored by nearly three touchdowns over No. 8 Arkansas who is 4-0 and have dismantled Texas 40-21 and Texas A&M 20-10 and are 4-0 ATS also with a romps over Rice and Georgia Southern. The Bulldogs have outscored opponents 168-23 and average 454.5 yards per game while the Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS as road dogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But, Georgia's defense is ranked No. 1 allowing just 185.3 YPG while QB J.T Daniels is 54-71 passing (76.1%) in three of the Bulldogs three wins. Too much firepower and defense for the Hogs to handle. Take GEORGIA! |

NCAAF Inner Circle Winner Texas at Texas Christian 12:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- TCU has played all three of their games at home and have yet to 'cover' the spread while 3-1 Texas has posted a pair of conference wins defeating Texas Tech 70-35 and Rice 58-0. The Longhorns have totaled 1,259 yards in their last two wins and are ranked No. 3 in scoring averaging 46.8 PPG and have not punted in the last two games. Although Texas is 7-2 SU in the last nine meetings they are just 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Horned Frogs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and coach Gary Patterson will have his 'Horney Toads' ready. Take T.C.U.! |

Iowa at Maryland 8:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Hawkeyes- The best quarterback in the Tagovailoa family will be on display tonight as Tau II takes the field as the Big Tens leading passer with 1,340 yards and a 75.5 completion percentage. No. 5 Iowa has caught most of the conference attention as they have the No.3 best scoring defense in the country allowing just 11 PPG and lead the Big Ten with six interceptions. So, the strengths of both clubs will clash here and and Taulia will get the best of it as he has 10 TD passes and only one INT. The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and the Hawkeyes play great in September but when conference play starts in October they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven. Take MARYLAND! |

09-30-21 | Jaguars +7.5 v. Bengals | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
Jacksonville at Cincinnati 8:20 ET Jaguars (+) over Bengals- The Bengals are off a huge 24-10 emotional road win over Pittsburgh and they are still gloating about their victory against their arch rivals. Joe Barrow was last year's No. 1 draft pick and Cincinnati has shown vast improvement. This year's No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence is having difficulties throwing seven interceptions in his first three games and Jacksonville's defense hasn't helped rating 29th allowing 418 yards a game. Lawrence lost only twice in 36 starts at Clemson and has already lost three times to start his NFL career. Another part of the puzzle is Jacksonville coach Urban Meyer who didn't lose very often when coaching at the same level. This is a great spot for both of them to post their first NFL win. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

Virginia at Miami-FL 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hurricanes- These two 2-2 clubs have been a major disappointment on the season as more was expected from both of them. Miami's win came at home against App St and Central Connecticut (yes that Central CT) and their losses came against bonafide competition as they were blown out by Alabama and Michigan State and badly outclassed in both losses. Virginia opened with a pair of wins against lesser competition and fell badly as well against North Carolina and Wake Forest. The Cavaliers' Brennan Armstrong has passed for over 400 yards in three straight games leading the nation in passing with 430.5 YPG while the Hurricanes QB D'Eriq King has been a major disappointment and us questionable because of an injured throwing shoulder which would affect his already average arm. Take VIRGINIA! |

N.Y. Yankees at Toronto 7:10 ET Blue Jays over Yankees- With four games remaining Blue Jays are one-game behind Boston for the second wild card berth after breaking the Yankees seven-game winning streak last night and will send their winningest pitcher Robbie Rays (13-6, 2.68 ERA) to the mound against New York's oft injured Corey Kluber (5-3, 3.82). Rays who is 0-2 with a 5.59 ERA against the Yankees this season has 244 strikeouts in 188 innings and against the Bombers free swingers could have a good outing. Look for the Blue Jays bats to be the difference as both Bichette and Guerrero came to life last night. Take TORONTO! |

Seattle is now 2-games in front of the A's in the wild card hunt and will be sending lefty Tyler Anderson (7-10 4.46 ERA) to the mound against the A's Chris Bassitt (12-4, 3.16) who is 1-4 with a 4.05 ERA lifetime against Seattle. Once again the oddsmakers have made the unlikely visitor the favorite and most likely for good reason. Take OAKLAND! |

He started the season 0-3 in April and is 16-4 since including 9-1 in his last 10 decisions and yet St. Louis is an underdog at home against the Brewers. The Brew Crew will start Brandon Woodruff (9-10, 2.52) who is 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA against the Cards this season and yet he is favored here as they have lost their last four meetings. Wainwright is 19-12 lifetime against the Brewers and yet is an underdog tonight. The Cardinals win streak according to the oddsmakers ends here. Take MILWAUKEE! |

The Mariners have moved one-game ahead of the A's and are 7-3 in their last 10 games as favorites and will get the money here. Take SEATTLE! |

The Cowboys offense is averaging 435 YPG as Dak Prescott leading the way throwing for 306 YPG but their defense is ranked 29th allowing 420 YPG. Philadelphia's defense has been one of the toughest holding opponents to 283 YPG. Seven Eagles have been grounded with injuries or COVID issues and that won't help them on either side of the ball. The home team and favorites have dominated this series of late but Dallas is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take the EAGLES! |

Green Bay at San Francisco 8:15 ET Niners (-) over Packers- So, you think the 'Pack is Back', think again. Rodgers may be as great as ever but their defense is a soft and they don't have much of a running game averaging 69.5 yards. Niners defense has yet to show itself but allowed just one TD last week on a 91-yard play otherwise they shut down the Eagles and have a healthy Garoppolo who has an impressive record as a starter.

Hollywood is just a deep pass away and that will probably be the GOAT's next stop but now before that the Rams will butt him around here. Tampa has a pair of home wins and will face a fierce Rams rush in their first road game along with a passing offense behind Matt Stafford averaging 291 passing yards. Take the RAMS! |

Miami at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Dolphins (+) over Raiders- How 'bout dem Raiders' opening the season 2-0 with impressive wins over the Ravens and Steelers and are enjoying the limelight. Miami can't play much worse than last weeks 35-0 blowout loss to the Bills and will be without their injury prone QB Tagovailoa and will start journeyman Jacob Brissett who is 12-20 as an NFL starter. The 'price' here seems awful cheap and this leads me to believing the Dolphins will play tough and LV maybe caught napping. Take MIAMI! |

With the Ravens still banged-up and riding high on their victory I expect a small letdown and as the Lions roar at home. Take DETROIT! |

Jags had 189 total offensive yards last week vs Denver last week with just one offensive TD on their first possession.

Oklahoma is off a competitive win over Nebraska and has won all eight meetings since they joined the Big-12 as West Virginia is 0-5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.

Yes that seem impressive and they played a swell game but the Canes just can't compete against better competition. Nebraska is led at quarterback by fifth year senior Adrian Martinez who for the most part has been a disappointment for the Cornhuskers but is coming off a maturing game against the Sooners going 19-25 for 289 yards. Huskers are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss and 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games on grass and are 9-4-1 ATS as road underdogs. Spartans are 5-15n ATS in last 20 conference games and 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 games as hosts.

New York started the year 0-7 against the Red Sox and are now 7-3 in the last 10 meetings after Friday's 8-3 blowout win ( led 7-0 in the 3rd) breaking the Sawx 7-game win streak. The Yanks who have won their last four will start lefty Nestor Cortes (2-2, 2.79 ERA) has the second lowest ERA in the AL since his first appearance May 30th.

The last time Florida State was 0-3 was 1975 in Bobby Bowden's first year as coach and they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Louisville is off a great 42-35 win over Central Florida but are just 1-4 ATS after an ATS win. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and that's about the best I can say about the Seminoles except that they get the money here. Take FLORIDA STATE! |

Texas A&M vs Arkansas 3:00 ET Aggies (-) over Razorbacks- Arkansas is running hog wild averaging 282 yards on the ground and 492 yards in total offense from scrimmage as they host the Aggies in Arlington. Both clubs are 3-0 but Texas A&M has been here before while this is new territory for the Razorbacks. The Aggie defense is No. 9 in the nation allowing just 239 yards a game and ranked No1 against the pass surrendering just 77.3 YPG. Hogs just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs at neural sites and 1-8 ATS in games after a win by more than 20 points. Take TEXAS A&M! |

Clemson at N.C State 3:30 ET Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- This is one of those 'don't make sense' lines on Saturday. Both these clubs are 2-1 with N.C State 2-0 at home outscoring opponents 90-7 and averaging 456 yards a game on offense for the season. Clemson meanwhile has struggled offensively averaging just 322 yards a game and 22 points and are on the road for the first time this year and they are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games as favorites. But, the Tigers have won 15 of the last 16 meetings including a 55-10 win in their last meetings and out-scoring the Wolfpack 96-17 in the last two meets. Wolves are just 4-10 ATS in last 14 games against teams with winning records. Take CLEMSON! |

09-25-21 | Notre Dame v. Wisconsin -6 | 41-13 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
Notre Dame vs Wisconsin 12;00 ET Badgers (-) over Fighting Irish- Don't get sucked into the Irish side here as they once again are overrated while Wisconsin as usual is not that highly regarded. The storyline here will be the former Badger quarterback Jack Coan who who now starts for Notre Dame after he left the program after he was beaten out by current Whisky QB Graham Mertz. The line in this contest at Soldier Field seems a bit high and it is because he Fighting Irish have had to struggle to defeat Toledo and Purdue after surviving a scare at Florida State. Don't be deterred...take WISCONSIN! |

N.Y. Yankees at Boston 7:10 ET Yankees over Red Sox- Fighting for a wild card berth these two biggest of rivals begin a 3-game set at Fenway Park where the Red Sox are 49-29 on the year. New York will start the American Leagues winningest pitcher in Gerrit Cole (15-8, 3.03 ERA) who is off his worst performance of the season surrendering 10 hits and seven runs in 5.2 innings losing to Cleveland 11-1. Boston who led the NL east for four months are now fighting for a wild card spot and have a 2-games lead over the Yankees for the final playoff spot and will send Nathan Eovaldi (10-8, 3.58) to the mound for the Sawx. The Yankees are 6-3 in the last nine meetings after starting the season 0-7 against their bitter rivals and are 1-7 in the last eight meetings in Boston. But the Red Sox have won their last seven games overall. Take NEW YORK! |

The Cavaliers quarterback Brennan Armstrong threw for a school record 554 yards passing in that game and directs the No. 4 rankled offense averaging 558 YPG who are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 home games.

Carolina at Houston 8:15 ET Texans (+) over Carolina- This is a really tough call and it has taken me most of the day to finally squeeze the trigger and make the call. Houston as we are all aware are down to their third quarterback as Tyrod Taylor who replaced Deshaun Watson has a rib injury and the duties have fallen upon rookie Davis Mills. The 2-0 Panthers have a refreshed Sam Darnold at the helm and he looks and is playing like a different guy from what we saw when he led the Jets. Both offenses are comparable but Carolina's defense has been outstanding ranking No. 1 allowing just 190 total yards per game. Play UNDER! |

St. Louis at Milwaukee 7:40 ET Brewers over Cardinals- St. Louis has won 10 straight and 12-of-13 and now have a 4-games lead in the wild card chase. The Red Birds will send Miles Mikolas (1-2, 4.50 ERA) who earned his first victory in over two years last time out against the Padres. Milwaukee will hand Brett Anderson (4-8, 4.18) and the left-hander won his only start against the Cardinals this season back in April allowing only one run in five innings. Milwaukee is 10-4 as home favorites and 41-18 in their last 59 starts against a right-hander and I expect that trend to continue today. Take the BREWERS! |

Seattle at Oakland 9:40 ET A's over Mariners- The A's would have a lock on the wild card if it wasn't for the Mariners who have defeated them six straight times. Yesterday's win ended a 5-game Oakland win streak and I look for them to rebound today. It won't be easy as Marco Gonzales (8-5, 4.05 ERA) the Seattle starter is 7-0 in his last 12 starts with and ERA of 2.70. The A's are slated to start Paul Blackburn (1-2, 4.94) and they have posted wins in his last two starts. Take OAKLAND! |

09-20-21 | Lions v. Packers UNDER 48.5 | 17-35 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Detroit at Green Bay 8:15 ET Lions/Packers UNDER- Green Bay is in the middle of a terrible run as they scored just three points in their opening week loss to the Saints and have yet to 'cover' or go 'over' any games this year. In the pre-season they were shut out by Buffalo 19-0 in the final game before the regular season opener and lost to the Jets 23-14 and Houston 26-7 scoring just 24 points in their four games overall this year. Granted Aaron Rodgers did not play a down in the preseason but he did play against New Orleans and managed just a field goal. Relax, don't panic, we have heard this mantra spewed by Rodgers before despite gaining just 43 yards rushing in their opener and only 133 yards passing. The Lions trailed the 49ers by 24-points before staging a late rally that fell short in their opener but allowed the Niners 8.0 yards per play. The 'Under' is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the Lions are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and the 'Under' is 4-0 in the Packers last four games against teams with losing records. Play UNDER! |

Kansas City at Baltimore 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over Chiefs- Man, if this game was being played in an alley with no betting an no TV I'm sure Kansas City would get the best of the Ravens. But, this contest in on National TV for all to see and their will be NFL officials there to keep it close. In losing to the Raiders Monday night the Ravens have been decimated by more injuries the Ravens are a home dog against the Chiefs and when the met just a year ago the were 3.5-point favorites and lost outright to KC 34-20. Kansas City is just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and Baltimore is 5-1 ATS in their last six games as home underdogs. This one's hairy but the 'action' is so heavy on the Chiefs that the bookmakers will get destroyed on parlays and teasers if they win. The bookies just don't seem to lose these type of games. Take BALTIMORE! |

Tonight they will start rich Hill (6-7, 3.88 ERA) and he is 2-2 with a 3.48 ERA lifetime against the Philadelphia while the Phillies will start Kyle Gibson (10-7, 3.49) who is just 1-2 with a 5.12 ERA in four career starts against New York.

Minnesota at Arizona 4:05 ET Vikings (+) over Cardinals- Arizona was my 'Highest-Rated' best bet (3-0) winner last week as the just went out and crushed the Titans 38-13 in Tennessee. Minnesota meanwhile has continued to struggle as they lost as a favorite 27-24 in OT at Cincinnati and are 0-4 ATS including the preseason. The Vikings were plagued with mistakes as they committed 10 penalties and turned the ball over three times and are 0-8 ATS in their last eight regular season games but are 3-0-2 ATS in the last five meetings. Arizona has not been the best at home when favored as they are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 games as favorites as hosts and 7-19 ATS as home favorites in their last 26 games overall. Take MINNESOTA! |

L.A. Rams at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Rams- The Rams entered the season with the NFL's No. 1 defense and during the off season they added (as we all are aware) one of the league best passers in Matthew Stafford. Last week we all saw what they are capable of by outclassing the Bears on Sunday night dominating on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis wasn't as impressive with their 'new' quarterback as they only produced 336 yards on offense scoring only one touchdown when the game was competitive. The Rams are just 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records while the Colts are 9-1-1 ATS after a double digit home loss and Indy is 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with winning records. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Buffalo at Miami 1:00 ET Dolphins (+) over Bills- There is no doubt in my mind that the majority of 'players' that bet this game will take Buffalo. After all they were everybody's darlings to dethrone Kansas City in the AFC and they played like a team that feels the pressure in Game 1 against the Steelers and already they have a sense of urgency. The Bills have won the last five meetings but have not responded well after a loss going 1-4 in their last five after a SU loss while the Dolphins are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs. Take MIAMI! |

Denver at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Broncos- Last week Jacksonville who was the worst team in the NFL last season and took Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick were favored on the road ta Houston. This week after showing they aren't all that much better are an underdog at home to Denver who manhandled the Giants in new York last week with Teddy Bridgewater leading the way. Things were so disappointing for the Jaguars that rumors immediately surfaced the Coach Urban Meyer was leaving for the USC job. But, this week the Broncos will be without Bridgewater's favorite receiver Jerry Jeudy as he has been placed on the IR. Denver is just 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games when favored and just 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. Take JACKSONVILLE! |

Arizona State at BYU 10:15 ET Sun Devils (-) over Cougars- BYU is 2-0 having defeated a pair of Pac-12 clubs in taking down Arizona and Utah. I can't tell you how big the Cougars (+7) win over Utah is in the Holy War after having lost to the Utes nine straight times. So, at 2-0 BYU is now a home dog to another Pac-12 team and that is telling as they are emotionally drained and have been on cloud-9 all week. The Cougars will return to earth as a home dog as ASU is 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and 3-1-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take SUN DEVILS! |

Auburn at Penn State 7:30 ET Nittany Lions (-) over Tigers- This should be a good one as these 2-0 clubs from two major conferences face off as the Big Ten's Penn State will host the SEC's Auburn. The Tigers opened the season with a pair of wins by scoring 60 and 62 points against FCS schools Akron and Alabama State averaging 576 yards on offense and allowing just 194 ypg. Penn State defeated a pair of FBS schools opening with a win at Wisconsin and a win over Ball State. Since starting last season 0-5 both SU and ATS the Lions are 6-0 both SU and ATS and are a strong favorite here as they have played some real competition as opposed to Auburn who built their stats against the weakest of opponents. Taker PENN STATE! |

Virginia at North Carolina 7:00 ET Tar Heels (-) over Cavaliers- The Tar Heels have a long way to go to rebuild their image after their loss at Virginia Tech. So many believed in them and predicted a possible FBS Bowl bid, but it's not to be! Last season when North Carolina was undefeated they went to Charlottesville and were upset 44-31 as an 8-point favorites and are now 0-4 SU and ATS in the last four meetings. Virginia is 2-0 SU and ATS this year defeating W&M as 30-point favorites and Illinois as 10.5-point favorites and now they are heavy underdogs on the road where they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. Heels are 6-2 ATS as home favorites in their last eight games as hosts. Take NORTH CAROLINA! |

Colorado at Washington 4:05 ET Nationals over Rockies- With the baseball season winding down these two also rans are still showing personal pride and continue to give their best effort. Washington will start Patrick Corbin (8-14, 5.98 ERA) who is having the worst year of his career after being an important cog in the Nationals 2019 World Series win. It's a rocky season for Corbin who is 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in back-to-back games and has had great success against the Rockies. He is 10-4 in 22 career starts against Colorado and the nationals are 13-5 in their last 18 games as home favorites while the Rockies are one of the worst road teams going 27-59 in their last 86 broad games. Take WASHINGTON! |

09-18-21 | Northwestern v. Duke +3 | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Duke 4:00 ET Blue Devils (+) over Wildcats- I don't like what I've seen out of Northwestern it's going to be a long season for the Wildcats. On offense they ranked 91st averaging only 338 YPG and that's having played Indiana State as a 28.5-point favorite winning 24-6 while accumulating just 275 yards on offense. For Duke who is off a miserable year filled with turnovers they are 1-1 but average 507 yards a game have defeated Northwestern the last two meetings as dogs winning both outright. The line here is very suspect and I expect the blue devils to wins easily. Take DUKE! |

09-18-21 | Alabama v. Florida +15 | Top | 31-29 | Win | 100 | 22 h 29 m | Show |
Alabama at Florida 3:30 ET Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Can anyone play with Alabama? I'm serious about this, they look to be the most physical team (Maybe Georgia) that I've seen this season. Florida always has talent at the skilled positions and speed to boot. The Tide lost two linebackers last week and that might give the Gators an opening they hadn't thought of prior to their injuries. Florida coach Dan Mullen is 0-10 lifetime against Nick Saban coached teams but got the money last season in a 52-46 loss to the Tide. This is Alabama's first trip to Gainesville since 2011 and they are 1-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and the gators are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after an ATS loss. Take FLORIDA! |

Nevada at Kansas State 2:05 ET Wolf Pack over Wildcats- A pair of the nation's better defenses face off at Bill Snyder Stadium as 2-0 Kansas State hosts 2-0 Nevada. The Wildcats allow just 254.5 yards per game ranking them in the Top-20 while the Wolf Pack allows just 165 yards per game ranking No. 7 in the nation. On offense Kansas State has a decided advantage averaging 363 yards while Nevada can barely eek out 186.5 YPG. So why is the 2-0 home team who comes from a superior program and underdog here. Cats will be without QB Skylar Thompson and that means trouble. Also KSU opens conference play next week against OK. St. and might not be truly focused. Take NEVADA! |

09-18-21 | Cincinnati v. Indiana +4 | 38-24 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 57 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Bearcats- Come-on you've got to be kidding me. Cincinnati is a power house that is built around defense Indiana is an imposter built around an overrated quarterback that can't throw the ball with any accuracy. The Hoosiers quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. opened the season with three interceptions against Iowa but bounced back going 11-of-16 and two mTD's passing and one rushing. Cincinnati ranked in the top-10 is considered a dark horse for the FBS playoffs and crushed Murray State 42-7 last time out after pounding Miami-Ohio 49-14. With this line being so cheap as it is I expect the Hoosiers the surprise here. The Bearcats are 2-5 ATS in their last seven as road favorites and Indy is 5-1 ATAS in their last six games as underdogs and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 overall. Take INDIANA! |

They defeated West Virginia (a horrid road team) in their opener 30-24 as a 2.5-point underdog and then crush Howard 62-0 as a 47-point favorite. Illinois meanwhile opened the Bret Bielema era with an upset win over Nebraska and have dropped a pair of games since losing to UTSA and getting blown out by Virginia 42-14 last week. Illinois starting QB Brandon Peters will return from injury in this contest and can be the difference as Maryland takes to the road for the first time. Take ILLINOIS! |

San Diego at St. Louis 8:15 ET Cardinals over Padres- The Padres pitching staff is so beset with injuries that they picked up Vince Velasquez (3-6, 5.95 ERA) who was so bad that he was just released outright by Philadelphia (who need pitching them selves). St. Louis who is battling San Diego for the second wild card spot have won five straight and 7-of-8 and will send Miles Mikolas (0-2, 5.47) who is making a comeback from injury is 1-1 with a 3.38 ERA in three career starts against San Diego.

St. Louis at N.Y. Mets 7:10 ET Mets over Cardinals- From where did they come from? The Cardinals seem to out of the blue as they have won six of seven and have moved into the second wild-card spot as the Padres and Reds have dropped in the standings. But, no one has slipped more the Mets who had a 4.5 game lead on August 1st but have gone 4-15 in one run games since. New York will start rookie Tylor Megill (3-4, 4.06 ERA) who is off his best performance of the season striking out 10 and allowing two runs in seven innings against the Yankees last Friday. St. Louis will start veteran lefty Jon Lester (5-6, 4.75) who is 8-1 lifetime against the Mets. Although struggling the Mets are still 5-1 in their last six home games when favored.

Baltimore at Las Vegas 8:15 ET Ravens (-) over Raiders- I don't believe that I have ever seen a team lose three top running backs to injury in such a short span, I know I have never witnessed it before. The question is can the NFL's top rushing team survive with three newcomers in the backfield? Las Vegas can't wait to play before a 'live' crowd in their new Allegiant Stadium. The town has been a buzz for a week now and this game has become a Las Vegas 'event' and their be fireworks before and after the game I'm sure. Too bad for the home town fans and Raiders backers you will be disappointed before the night over. LV's defense allowed 29.9 points per game last season and should remain porous for the Ravens. Take BALTIMORE! |
