12-19-20 | Panthers +8 v. Packers | 16-24 | Push | 0 | 19 h 29 m | Show | |
Carolina at Green Bay 8:15 ET Panthers (+) over Packers- Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur says that having clinched the NFC North title that 'Nothing changes in our mind'...I wonder, isn't it just human nature to take at least a sigh of relief? Carolina under first year head coach Matt Rhule is just 4-9 SU but a respectable 7-6 ATS as they have been very competitive even without their All-pro versatile running back and receiver Christian McCaffrey who has missed all but three games. The Panthers are 2-4 SU on the road but 5-1 ATS and 7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs. Although, the Packers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as home favorites they are 1-5 ATS after a straight-up win. Already clinched...take CAROLINA! |

12-19-20 | Alabama v. Florida +17.5 | Top | 52-46 | Win | 100 | 19 h 26 m | Show |
Alabama vs Florida 8:00 ET Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama opened the season by allowing 24, 48, and 24 points and it was said that they had defensive weaknesses. Well, in their last six games they have allowed 17, 0, 3, 13, 17and 3 a grand total of 53 points averaging allowing 9.1 points and now they are up against a powerhouse offense. Florida who has 609 yards in offense last week in their 37-34 loss to LSU leads the nation in passing yards with 386 and the Tide are ranked No. 5 overall with 538 yards per game. The Crimson Tide are 7-0 ATS in their last seven and are 5-1 TAS in the last six meetings while Gators are 5-1 ATS in last six games as underdogs. Ebb tide as Gators chomp! Take FLORIDA! |

12-19-20 | Cincinnati -124 v. Georgia | 68-83 | Loss | -124 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Georgia 8:00 ET Bearcats over Bulldogs- Now let me get this because I don't want to feel like I'm missing anything. Cincinnati is 2-3 SU I know that for sure because I checked the records and they are 1-4 ATS to boot and they are playing on the road at Georgia (5-0) who is undefeated and the Bearcats opened the favorite. This has got to be the biggest 'Don't make sense' game of the season to date. And there is one thing that you must remember when you see something like this and that is to think like a bookie. Georgia's wins are over cream puffs like Samford, Montana, North Georgia, Jacksonville and Florida A&M while the Bearcats were sparring with Take CINCINNATI! |

12-19-20 | Clemson -10 v. Notre Dame | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 25 m | Show | |
Clemson vs Notre Dame 4:00 ET Tigers (-) over Fighting Irish- All season long I've been saying that Notre Dame has finally reached that upper tier of teams like Alabama, Ohio State and yes even Clemson and they proved that they can play with anybody by defeating the Tigers 47-40. I believed that the public would gravitate to Clemson in the rematch because Trevor Lawrence would be back but the oddsmaker must have thought so as well making them double-digit favorites. So, my original thought that Notre Dame would sweet the series has been dashed as the public is backing the Irish. It wasn't the fact that Clemson was without Lawrence as his substitute passed for 439 yards in was a defense that allowed 208 yards rushing. Three defensive starters were out for the Tigers in that one and they are back and that might make the difference. It just seems too easy to take ND so I won't...take CLEMSON! |

12-19-20 | Air Force -138 v. Army | 7-10 | Loss | -138 | 14 h 18 m | Show | |
Air Force at Army 3:00 ET Falcons (-) over Cadets- There is no doubt that Army plays a ground game averaging 280 yards a game rushing but the Falcons distain the air as they are second in the nation with 336 yards on the ground per game. The Cadets are used to ending the season with the Navy game but this has been added and it's bad news for the Army. To understand what I'm getting at I'll explain how no Cadet is allowed to eat any meal at West Point without chanting, “Beat Navy”, breakfast, lunch or dinner, everyday before EVERY meal...they beat Navy last week and fall here. Take AIR FORCE! |

12-19-20 | Western Kentucky +5 v. Alabama | Top | 73-71 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
Western Kentucky at Alabama 2:00 ET Hilltoppers (+) over Crimson Tide- Western Kentucky is 5-2 SU and only 2-5 ATS but have played some tough competition as their losses have come at the hands of Louisville and West Virginia while they have defeated a ranked Memphis team and Rhode Island. Alabama (4-2) has just one quality win over Providence and are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games overall and are only 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 home games and 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 overall. The Hilltoppers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games. Take WESTERN KENTUCKY! |

12-19-20 | North Carolina v. Kentucky +3 | 75-63 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Kentucky 2:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Tar Heels- The two winningest schools in NCAA basketball history jump-it-up Saturday and both clubs are off to slow starts. Kentucky (1-4) won their opener against Morehead State and have dropped four straight since losing to a ranked Richmond team, a ranked Kansas, Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. The Wildcats issue is the lack of scoring as they average just 66 points shooting just 24% from behind the arc but play great defense allowing just 65 ppg. The Tar Heels have their own problems scoring as they are shooting 27% from 3-point range and just 67% from the free throw line. In need of a win take KENTUCKY! |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Oregon +3.5 v. USC | Top | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 24 h 31 m | Show |
Oregon at U.S.C 8:00 ET Ducks (+3) over Trojans- Before the season started this was the match-up the experts all predicted would happen in the Pac-12 Championship Game but, it didn't happen the way that was expected. USC was unimpressive early struggling as double-digits favorites lucky just to beat ASU and a terrible Arizona team and last week they put together a miracle finish to beat and 'cover' against UCLA after trailing by 18-points late in the 3rd quarter. The Trojans were expecting to play Washington but 'you know what happened' as they aren't able to field a team. Oregon was 3-0 before dropping their last two on the road at Oregon State and California. These Ducks flew south for this game and they will crap on the Trojans! Take OREGON! |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Nebraska -6.5 v. Rutgers | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Rutgers 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Scarlet Knights- This is the final game for both clubs in 2020 and neither team no matter who wins will still fall short of a .500 season. If you compare these two's stats they are a wash without any advantage except that Rutgers offense has scored five more points a game while allowing two more. The fact that Nebraska is favored shows the bookmaker doesn't have much faith in the Knights especially after an outright win. Cornhuskers are 4-0 lifetime against Rutgers and get one of the thumb...take NEBRASKA! |
|||||||
12-18-20 | UAB +4.5 v. Marshall | 22-13 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
U.A.B. at Marshall 7:00 ET Blazers (+) over Thundering Herd- Marshall had their undefeated season come to an end last time out bas Rice not only won but shutout the Herd 20-0 but, that wasn't the crazy part which is that they were a 24-point beaten favorite. This is the third straight trip tp the USA Championship game for the Blazers defeating Mid Tenn 27-25 two years ago and they were swamped by Florida Atlantic 49-6 last season. The home team is 11-3 SU and 10-4 ATS in the last 14 CUSA Championship games so I am surprised the line is as low as it is. Think about it Marshall's defense is No.1 in points allowed (11.4) and No. 2 in total yards (254) and rushing yards (73). It doesn't make sense for the line to be as low considering UAB runs for an average of 198 ypg. Take the BLAZERS! |
|||||||
12-17-20 | Seton Hall +4 v. Marquette | Top | 70-63 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
Seton Hall at Marquette 9:00 ET Pirates (+) over Golden Eagles- After starting the season 1-3 Seton Hall has won three straight including their Big East opener a 77-68 win over St. John's last Friday and their Tuesday game against Xavier was postponed. Marquette has defeated a pair of ranked teams taking down No. 4 Wisconsin 67-65 two weeks ago and Creighton 89-84 on Monday. But, the Eagles are now favored and should have difficulty focusing and that means trouble as the Pirates have a surefire No.1 draft pick in Sandro Mamukelashvili (how 'bout dat) who posted 32 points shooting 12-of-18 with nine rebounds against a weak red Storm. Add that the road team is 21-7-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings and the underdog is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-17-20 | Chargers +3 v. Raiders | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
L.A. Chargers at Las Vegas 8:20 ET Chargers (+) over Raiders- Oh-boy, this is a tough call for a number of reasons not the least of which is that my 3-2 Fab-5 Sunday included the Raiders who were stampeded by the Colts. So, after taking them and getting trampled last week...well you know the scenario, but the oddsmaker has lost some respect for Las Vegas as this line is just so low and inviting. The Chargers won despite bonehead coach Anthony Lynn once again blowing scoring opportunities my mismanaging the clock. That makes FIVE times this season! Do you think the Raiders defense can confuse Herbert they way Belichick's defensive plan did? How could it Gruden just fired his DC after Sunday's loss. The Raiders are in such need for a win but the 'powers that be' may not care. Take the CHARGERS! |
|||||||
12-17-20 | Kansas v. Texas Tech -2.5 | 58-57 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
Kansas at Texas Tech 7:00 ET Red Raiders over Jayhawks- A pair of 6-1 Big-12 combatants face each other in Lubbock as No. 5 Kansas and No. 14 Texas Tech play their conference opener for the first time ever before Christmas. The Jayhawks have won six straight after losing their season opener to No. 1 Gonzaga 102-90 while the Red Raiders lost 64-53 to No. 17 Houston. Tech is 4th in the nation on defense allowing just 51.6 ppg and holding opponents to just 35% FG's. Kansas is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games but just 2-5 ATS after a SU win and 2-12 ATS after a win by more than 20-points (95-50 last time out). Defense is the key...take TEXAS TECH! |
|||||||
12-17-20 | Creighton v. St. John's +7.5 | 94-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Creighton at St. John's 7:00 ET Blue Jays (-) over Red Storm- This one can get interesting as the difference in styles will have to give at one time or another. St. John's is a more free-wheeling club that will press you on defense while the Bluejays will be more methodical as they commit fewer turnovers than most averaging just 9.5 but the Storm for 19 turnovers a game so it will be a battle of strengths. What it comes down to here is 'pressure defense' will wear down especially a road team playing just their second road game. Johnnies rebound from OT Georgetown loss. Take ST. JOHN'S! |

12-16-20 | Duke -3 v. Notre Dame | Top | 75-65 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show |
Duke at Notre Dame 9:00 ET Fighting Irish over Blue Devils- It's bad enough that No. 21 Duke is 2-2 but, to be 0-4 ATS has the alumni grumbling and having lost to a pair of Big Ten teams falling to Michigan State and Illinois at home. The Blue Devils take to the road for the first time against a Notre Dame team off a 64-63 win over Kentucky scoring just 16 points in the second have hanging on for the win. The Fighting Irish also lost to a pair of Big Ten powers MSU and Ohio State and this will be this their fourth game against a ranked opponent as they go 0-4. It's a difficult task for a 'Devil' to win at this Catholic venue even if it's Blue but coach 'K' has made deals with the 'Devil' before. Take DUKE! |

12-16-20 | Ohio State v. Purdue -4.5 | Top | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
Ohio State at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Buckeyes- This is another unusual situation where we an undefeated ranked team No. 20 Ohio State (5-0) an underdog against a two loss club. Purdue (4-2) lost twice on the road against Clemson and at Miami but are a perfect 4-0 at home against inferior competition but are also 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with winning records. The Buckeyes have winning trends all over the board but one spot, they are just 20-45 ATS on the road against winning teams above .600. It's the BOILERMAKERS! |
|||||||
12-16-20 | TCU +5 v. Oklahoma State | 77-76 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
TCU at Oklahoma State Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- Oklahoma State (6-0) is one of the hottest teams in the country having won 11 straight dating back to last season including their final three conference game. The Cowboys have also had an edge over the Horned frogs winning the last two and eight of the past nine at home. TCU who has struggled on the road 2-8 ATS L-10 do rise when playing better clubs with .600 winning % but still just 6-13 ATS after a SU win. OkSt just 1-4 ATS last five at home. Take HORNED FROGS! |

12-15-20 | Georgia Tech +8.5 v. Florida State | Top | 61-74 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
Georgia Tech at Florida State 8:30 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Seminoles- One of the biggest and least known home-court advantages belongs to Florida State who is 3-0 this season and have a 26-game winning streak when playing as hosts and a has won 68-of-71 home games. One of those wins came against Clemson (2-2) who dropped a 70-58 decision in Tallahassee last season and have lost 14 of the last 16 meetings overall. But, the Tigers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games and 10-4 ATS as road underdogs. Add that the road team is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings and the underdog is 21-9 ATS in the last 30 meetings. After losing their first two the Yellow Jackets have bounced back with wins over Kentucky and Nebraska as their defense was the key factor. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

12-15-20 | Minnesota v. Illinois -8 | 65-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Illinois 7:00 ET Illini (-) over Golden Gophers- No. 13 Illinois (4-2) host undefeated and unranked Minnesota (6-0) who will be playing their first road game of the season. Golden Gophers' coach Rich Pitino has the offense (84.2) cooking but will still have to go a bit as Illinois is scoring at an 88 point clip. The Illini return home where they won their first three before going 1-2 on a three game road trip losing to Baylor and Missouri on Saturday. Sad numbers for Minnesota as they are 2-6-2 ATS after a SU win and 1-4-1 ATS in last six as underdogs while the Illini are 7-2 ATS after a SU loss. Add that the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the favorite is 23-9 ATS in the last 32 meetings. Take ILLINOIS! |

12-15-20 | Clemson v. Virginia Tech -120 | 60-66 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Clemson at Virginia Tech 6:30 ET Hokies over Tigers- Undefeated but unranked Clemson (5-0) enters Blacksburg having yet to play a true road game. Defense has been the key for the Tigers who have held opponents to 35% shooting and only 51.4ppg ranking 4th in the nation. Virginia Tech is off a 75-55 beating at home by Penn State and has had a week to fix their offensive issues. ATS these two are on opposite side of the spectrum as the Tigers are 20-8 ATS after a SU win while Tech is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games overall but the home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

12-14-20 | Marquette +7.5 v. Creighton | Top | 89-84 | Win | 100 | 21 h 49 m | Show |
Marquette at Creighton 9:00 ET Golden Eagles (+) over Blue Jays- Marquette was short-handed when they fell 69-60 at UCLA Friday night as they had numerous players either out or hampered and used several line-ups had little practice time and committed 18 turnovers. Creighton just destroyed intra-state rival Nebraska using a 30-7 surge leading to a 98-74 victory while forcing 25 turnovers. The Bluejays had an incredible shooting night scoring on 10 straight possessions and hitting 17-of-24 during one stretch while the former 'Warriors' were 4-of-20 from 3-point range against the Bruins including 0-for-11 in the second half. Take MARQUETTE! |

12-14-20 | Nevada v. San Diego +3.5 | 79-72 | Loss | -109 | 21 h 46 m | Show | |
Nevada at San Diego 9:00 ET Toreros (+) over Wolf Pack- It looks like the oddsmakers have done their homework because San Diego was one of the worst teams in the entire west and were just 2-14 in WCC one of the weakest conferences the country. Nevada has six games under their belts (4-2) while the Toreros are 0-1 having had the pleasure of opening at UCLA and getting crushed shooting under 30%. But, the 'books' opened this one at -3.5 and I believe I understand what they know. San Diego coach Sam Scholl has brought in three NCAA transfers from Missouri, Rice, W. Illinois and Duquesne and they are expected to have a major impact on the program's basketball team. The 'Book's believe it look at that 'number.' Take SAN DIEGO! |

12-14-20 | Ravens v. Browns +3 | 47-42 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Cleveland 8:15 ET Browns over Ravens- The Browns who haven't been to the playoffs in 17 years had such fanfare and expectations entering their season opener at Baltimore only to receive a reality check as the veteran playoff Ravens destroyed them 38-6. A convincing win as it was Lamar Jackson who passed for 275 yards and three TD's while the Browns offense scored just once. But after a 5-1 start the 'Black Birds' have lost four of five while Cleveland has won 8-of-10 as Baker Mayfield has held it all together. Browns with best 1-2 punch in the NFL with their running duo of Chubb and Hunt. Take CLEVELAND! |

12-14-20 | Rutgers +2.5 v. Maryland | 74-60 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
Rutgers at Maryland 6:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Terrapins- No. 21 Rutgers (4-0) takes their undefeated record and Top-25 ranking into College Park for their first road game of the season. Maryland (4-1) was handed their first loss at Clemson last time out in their first road game of the year as they scored only 15 points in the first half. Both clubs had stellar season's last year as the Terrapins shared the Big Ten title and the Scarlet Knights won their most conference games in 17 years going 11-9. The 'Jersey Boys' have four starters in double-figures including Ron Harper Jr. who leads both clubs with 26 points per. Take RUTGERS! |

12-13-20 | Steelers +2.5 v. Bills | 15-26 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Buffalo 8:20 ET Steelers (+) over Bills- I know how impressive the Bills looked the Monday night dominating San Francisco and how lackluster Pittsburgh looked in losing their first game to Washington after getting out to a 14-0 lead before starting to take things during the game for granted and blowing numerous opportunities. Part of the problem for the Steelers was the lack of a running game as they ran for just 21 yards last week and just 68 the week before against the Ravens. James Conner who missed the last two games will return and help make the difference and Big Ben's pride will outshine Josh Allen. Take PITTSBURGH! |
|||||||
12-13-20 | Saints v. Eagles +8 | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 17 h 3 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Philadelphia 4:25 ET Eagles (+) over Saints- This is the most improbable 'side' on the entire board as the Saints have won nine straight and the grounded Eagles are changing quarterbacks. Philadelphia will have Jalen Hurts under center for the first time in his career while Tayson Hill gets his fourth start while Brees' banged up ribs heal. The Eagles are the club of the two that is known for their defense but it is New Orleans that has the No. 2 defense allowing just 288 ypg which plays into the 'Birds' No. 29 offense with 319 ypg. The 'Wild Card' here is Hurts who is not known for his passing (5-12, 109y last week) but will present a different look and hey Carson Wentz had 15 Ints and 3 fumbles and the kicker is that the Saints have already clinched a playoff berth and the have a look-ahead game with Kansas City next week, Take PHILADELPHIA! |

12-13-20 | Colts v. Raiders +3 | 44-27 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 38 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Raiders (+) over Colts- In the scheme of things this is a playoff game for Las Vegas. A loss here would make it virtually impossible for them to qualify for the postseason. As it is the Raiders are fortunate to still be alive as their 'hail-Mary' win over the Jets last week may have saved their season if the win here. Vegas has had the issues with injuries and the virus but this week it have five Colts that have missed practice including Philip Rivers. Jon Gruden has brought the Raiders along and will create win havoc on defense to take advantage of 'Philips Floaters' and get at least a pair of picks. Take LAS VEGAS! |

12-13-20 | Cardinals -2.5 v. Giants | 26-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
Arizona at New York Giants 1:00 ET Cardinals over Giants- This is one of those 'Go figure' games. Here we have the New York Football Giants winners of four straight games and probably the hottest team in the NFL (oops Saints have won 9) up against a fading team's who's only win in their last five games came a 'Hail-Mary pass' on the final play against Buffalo when they didn't even attempt the extra-point they have failed to 'cover' the spread. And Arizona is favored at New York! Daniel Jones' Locker returns Sunday and he should give the Giants' 32nd rated offense some sort of lift. He will help, but the Cardinals average 390 ppg and are 9-4-2 ATS on the road scoring 28 ppg while 'Little Blue' is 30th with 19 ppg and are 3-12 ATS as home underdogs. Take ARIZONA! |

12-13-20 | Vikings +7.5 v. Bucs | 14-26 | Loss | -123 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Vikings (+) over Buccaneers- These two qualify for the final NFL playoff spots with Tampa Bay (7-5) holding on to the sixth spot and Minnesota (6-6) a game behind. The Bucs expected a big boost on offense with the addition of Brady and other weapons but they are still just middle of the pack at 18th with 363 ypg. It has been the Tampa defense that has held them together ranking No.1 against the run and No. 7 overall. The Vikings shine on offense with 390 ypg and just under 150 rushing yards and will match the Bucs rushing defense with Delvin Cook who has 1135 yards at 5.0 an attempt. These two match-up right and it should come down to a one possession game. Take MINNESOTA! |

12-13-20 | Texans v. Bears +2 | 7-36 | Win | 100 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
Houston at Chicago 1:00 ET Bears (+) over Texans- The Houston is an embarrassment and own the entire state of Texas an apology! So, here are the 4-8 Texans -2.5 at Chicago favored against the 5-7 Bears who have dropped six straight. These teams are so bad and so evenly matched with Houston having the No. 30 defense allowing 406 ypg while the Bears offense is also ranked 30th with just 312 ypg. The Texans offense averages 364 ypg while Chicago allows 354 ypg. So, why even take a side when they both suck. Well, a wise man once said to me there's got to be a winner and I know it is NOT Houston! Take CHICAGO! |

Virginia at Virginia Tech 8:00 ET Hokies over Cavaliers- After opening the season with a win over Duke the Cavaliers lost four straight and then on Halloween night the upset North Carolina and have won their last four coming into Blacksburg. On the other side Virginia Tech has now dropped five straight and have had off field issues including the virus to deal with. The Hokies have had the best of this series and are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings and somehow come up the favorite here. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings...take VIRGINIA TECH! |

12-12-20 | Illinois v. Missouri +3.5 | Top | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Illinois at Missouri 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Illini- No. 6 Illinois (4-1) is coming off an 83-68 win at Duke and are looking for double revenge after having lost the last two meetings against Missouri. The unranked Tigers are 4-0 and are off to their best start in seven years. This should be an inside as the Illini have a strong middle with 7-0 Kofi Cockburn and 6-9 Giorgi Bezhanishnili while Mizzou will kill you with a trio of guards that average between 13.5 and 17.2 points apiece. Illinois has lost to Baylor and Missouri has defeated Oregon and Wichita State. Take the TIGERS! |

Oregon at Washington 8:00 ET Huskies (+) over Ducks- Most games have been moved on to campus' as large venues are not need but this game is being played in Seattle (riots aside). Oregon has won three straight since their opening loss to Missouri while Washington managed their first win 73-41 over Seattle after three straight road defeats. The Ducks have won and covered 6-of-7 meetings including the last three. The Huskies who have horrid ATS trends are beaming with confidence with Kentucky guard transfer Quade Green leading the way. This time around...take WASHINGTON! |

12-12-20 | USC v. UCLA +4 | 43-38 | Loss | -107 | 19 h 38 m | Show | |
USC at UCLA 7:30 ET Bruins (+) over Trojans- If this game was at a different time or day it might be my best of the day. USC was a winner for us last Sunday as the bolted out to a 28-0 1st quarter lead over Washington State and just stopped playing putting it on cruise control the rest of the way. The Trojans are once again the media darlings of the Pac-12 and are always overrated and on the other side of the coin the Bruins feel slighted. USC has had COVID issues and with this game at the empty Rose Bowl UCLA will let their offense do it's thing averaging 36 points and 431 yyg. Take U.C.L.A.! |

12-12-20 | Utah +2 v. BYU | 64-82 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Utah at B.Y.U. 6:00 ET Utes (+) over Cougars- These two are meetings for the 261st time and the series is as close as the 2-point spread as BYU has a 131-129 series edge having won 13 of the last 18 meetings. Last season Utah cut the margin by winning in overtime 102-95 but I doubt that a high scoring game like that will occur this time around as both clubs have offensive issues. But, none worse than the Cougars who shot 27% against USC and when scoreless the first 9:39 of the game against Boise State. Low prices gives Utes a solid chance. Take UTAH! |

Wisconsin at Iowa 3:30 ET Badgers (+) over Hawkeyes- Alright, I couldn't hold back any long waiting to 'pull-the-tiger' on this game as my yen for the Badgers just grows stronger by the day. Here's Iowa 5-2 winners of five straight after dropping their first two games to Purdue and Northwestern now an underdog at home to a team that has lost their last two games scoring a total of 13 points. Wisconsin has the nation's No. 1 ranked defense in total yards allowed (229), passing yards (157) and rushing yards (72) but 16 penalties and six turnovers have done them in. From what I can tell with the Badgers moving to the favorite says there is 'sharp' money on them. Take WISCONSIN! |

12-12-20 | Utah +2.5 v. Colorado | 38-21 | Win | 100 | 21 h 47 m | Show | |
Chip Shot Winner Utah at Colorado 12:00 Noon ET Utes (+) over Buffaloes- I 'saw' Colorado beat Arizona last week and I also saw them defeat UCLA in their opener and I am impressed with what their first year coach Ken Dorrell has done. Colorado is an unexpected 4-0 and has moved to No. 21 in the AP and yet are a meager favorite against a 1-2 Utah team. The Utes are 0-3 ATS as they surrendered two TD's in the final minutes at reduce a 20-point lead down to a non-covering six (30-24). This 'price' is way too cheap when comparing season records. Something's just not right...Take UTAH! |

12-12-20 | Minnesota v. Nebraska -10 | Top | 24-17 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 45 m | Show |
High Roller Minnesota at Nebraska 12:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Golden Gophers- Nebraska has been good to 'us' winning all three times 'we' had them including last week's 37-27 win at Purdue their second straight road cover. The Cornhuskers are a young them that is getting better and gaining momentum but this number having them favored by double-digits peaks my interest. They have been favored just one other time this season against Illinois (-17) and the4y failed miserably losing 41-23 outright. Minnesota is coming off a win of their own over Purdue 34-31 at home but that was three weeks ago as the virus has affected their schedule. The Golden Gophers won last year's meeting in Minneapolis 34-7 and now it's payback...take NEBRASKA! |

12-12-20 | Michigan State v. Penn State -14.5 | 24-39 | Win | 100 | 21 h 43 m | Show | |
Heavy Hitter Michigan State at Penn State 12:00 Noon ET Nittany Lions (-) over Spartans- If things aren't confusing enough with teams looking to reschedule games or just bring in available opponents now when the have a match-up they change the venue and even starting times after scheduled announcements. So beware, this game is at Noon ET. That's not going to help Michigan State who may be 2-4 but are dreadful and while Penn State is 2-5 they have gained their sea-legs so to speak with wins over Michigan and Rutgers and believe it or not out-gained six of their seven opponents and are a Plus-90 ypg. The Spartans on the other hand are minus-85 ypg. The Penn State defense should shut down any offense MSU might try to muster as the Lions roar and atone for their m0-5 start. Take the NITTANY LIONS! |

12-11-20 | Nevada +2 v. San Jose State | 20-30 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 33 m | Show | |
Nevada at San Jose State 10:00 ET Wolf Pack (+) over Spartans- I know a lot about this matchup as the Mountain West Conference has little to brad about but this about be a good one all round. Nevada is 6-1 with their only loss coming at Hawaii 24-21 while San Jose State is 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS and have been unbelievable in MWC play going 16-5-2 ATS. Wolf Pack won last year's meeting 41-38 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five as underdogs. Take NEVADA! |

12-11-20 | Marquette v. UCLA -4.5 | Top | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 20 h 41 m | Show |
Marquette at UCLA 10:00 ET Bruins (-) over 'Once Warriors'- A pair of 4-1 clubs that last met in 1964 when both side were coached by legends of their day and Hall of Fame members UCLA's John Wooden and Marquette's AL McGuire. The 'Legend of Westwood' got his Nat'l Champion Bruins to best (61-52) of the brash New York rookie coach that day, McGuire later captured his NCAA Championship (1977 vs NC), but hey just wanted to say I remember that as Gail Goodrich got the best of Cazzie Russel of Michigan in the 91-80 Finals victory as the star and MVP Bill Bradly led Princeton to the finals. Okay, so what...well the Bruins also defeated Marquette in Dec. 1949 but I was only nine months old and don't remember it but I like the 71-year and two game streak to continue. Take UCLA! PS-I could have written up some scenario but the answer would have been the same...BRUINS! |

12-11-20 | Arizona State -11 v. Arizona | Top | 70-7 | Win | 100 | 20 h 31 m | Show |
Arizona State at Arizona 7:00 ET Sun Devils (-) over Wildcats- The best thing about the outcome of this game is that at least one major college football team in the state has a victory. Arizona State (0-2) has played both LA schools losing to USC 28-27 (Trojans scored twice in last minute after on-side kick) and to UCLA 25-18 at home last week. Last week Arizona jumped out to a 13-0 lead against Colorado and with six minutes to go in the second quarter the game was over for the Wildcats as the Buffaloes went 24-0 the rest of the way and were never threatened. This 'price' is way out of whack for a 'rivalry game' considering the Sun Devils haven't won a game yet...until tonight. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

12-11-20 | Villanova v. Georgetown +11.5 | 76-63 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
Villanova at Georgetown 7:00 ET Hoyas (+) over Wildcats- It has been 39 years since these two met on the Georgetown campus as it has always been such a big event it would be played in the city. There is no need to play aware but a gym with fans not allowed to attend so, so much for home court advantage. Despite the loss Villanova has been wildcats on the road 10-2-1 ATS but the home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings. The Hoyas have been up to the task as they play 'up' to their competition as they are 7-2-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records over 60%. Take GEORGETOWN! |
|||||||
12-11-20 | St. John's v. Seton Hall -5.5 | 68-77 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show | |
St. John's at Seton Hall 4:30 ET Pirates (-) over Red Breeze- St. John's enters this Big East contest 5-1 while the hosting Pirates are 3-3 but have played much tougher competition. Seton Hall was beaten by Louisville, Rhode Island and Oregon with a win over Penn State. It's been a long time since the 'Storm' has been in contention in the Big East and they are 5-11-1 ATS when playing against teams with winning home records, while the home team is 22-8 ATS in the last 30 meetings. Number might seem a bit high but it is probably for good reason. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-10-20 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech +7 | 34-20 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 3 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech 7:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Panthers- Pitt has had the best of this series of late as they have won four of the last five including last year's 20-10 win in Atlanta but are off a drubbing by No. 4 Clemson two weeks ago 52-17 and they are 4-0 ATS after a bye week. Georgia Tech meanwhile, was beaten by NC State 23-13 and fell to 3-6 on the season. Yellow Jackets are 5-2 ATS after a loss and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Final chance for the Panthers to finish win a winning record and they only have to do it by less than a touchdown. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

12-09-20 | Oklahoma +100 v. Xavier | 77-99 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
Oklahoma at Xavier 8:00 ET Sooners (+) over Musketeers- A pair of undefeated teams meet where 6-0 Xavier will host their sixth home game after defeating intra-city rival Cincinnati Sunday 77-69. Oklahoma is just 2-0 and just won at TCU 82-78 Sunday as a 4.5-point beaten favorite. Sooners coach Lon Kruger has a pair of reliable seniors and a mix of young talent that can handle playing on the road where they are 5-2 ATS against teams with better than 60% or more. Xavier has four wins by a total of eight points, is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall, just 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games and they are 1-5 ATS against teams with SU winning records. Take OKLAHOMA! |

12-09-20 | Indiana +3.5 v. Florida State | 67-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Indiana at Florida State 7:25 ET Hoosiers (+) over Seminoles- The Hoosiers opened the season with a pair of impressive 30 and 21 points wins and then ran into Texas and were blown out by 22 points. But, they rebounded after their loss the following contest taking down Stanford 70-63 and showing character as a unit. No. 20 Florida State is 1-0 with an 86-58 rout of North Florida 86-58 as the team that finished 26-5 last season adjusts to three new starters with two going No. 4 and 11 in the NBA draft. With too many newcomers and only one game under their belts the Seminoles are at a disadvantage. Take INDIANA! |

12-09-20 | Furman +4 v. Cincinnati | 73-78 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Furman at Cincinnati 5:00 ET Paladins (+) over Bearcats- Well, after winning their first four games at home by 33, 28, 40 and 24 points Furman will be up against some real competition at Cincinnati and they are looking to prove that they are up to the task. The Bearcats fell short against rival Xavier as they faltered down the stretch Sunday dropping to 1-1 and will be playing their third straight home game. Cincy is 1-9 ATS in their last nine overall and 17-36 in their last 53 games overall. The Paladins are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 21-9-1 ATS after winning by 20 or more points... Take FURMAN! |

12-08-20 | Penn State +5.5 v. Virginia Tech | 75-55 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Penn State at Virginia Tech 9:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hokies- No. 19 Virginia Tech (45-0) already has some impressive victories including a 81-73 OT win over No. 3 Villanova while Penn State (2-1) was on their way to their third straight home win leading Seton Hall 29-10 and then dropped the game in overtime after leading for 39 minutes and 32 seconds (really) and led by eight with two minutes to go. Hokies with try and keep the tempo down while State will look to run the floor. This is the first road game for the Lions but they will play to the final buzzer tonight. Take PENN STATE! |

12-08-20 | Cowboys +9.5 v. Ravens | 17-34 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Dallas at Baltimore 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Ravens- The Ravens who have had to deal with the virus have dropped three straight and 4-of-5 while Dallas has lost 5-of-6 and 7-of-9. This game on paper does not set up well for the Cowboys who are dead last in NFL rushing defense while the Ravens are No. 2 in rushing averaging 158 YPG as well as last in points allowed with 32.6. Part of Big 'D's problem is that are also last in take-aways in the season with a league low of just nine also allowing 24 TD passes with just 4 Int's. Having played last on Thanksgiving (if you can call that 'playing') and have had 12-days to prepare and they need it. Take DALLAS! |

12-08-20 | Ohio State v. Notre Dame +6 | Top | 90-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
Ohio State at Notre Dame 7:30 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Buckeyes- No. 23 Ohio State (3-0) has had the pleasure of beating up on three clubs at home where they were favored by a combined 71.5-points and they won all three by 71-points going 2-1 ATS. For Notre Dame it hasn't been so nice as they opened against No. 8 Michigan State and lost by 10 and then defeated Detroit-Mercy by eight and are 0-2. Both teams have four starters averaging double-digits with Prentiss Hubb of the Fighting Irish leading all scores with 23-ppg. Each club is dealing with injuries and the 'Shamrockers' are down to eight scholarship players. Buckeyes playing their first game on the road and against quality competition may well struggle here. You can only play with five at a time anyway...take NOTRE DAME! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Creighton +4 v. Kansas | 72-73 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
Creighton at Kansas 5:00 ET BlueJays (+) over Jayhawks- No. 7 Creighton (3-0) travels to Lawrence to takes on No. 5 Kansas (4-1) is what should be a well played well coached college basketball games and well worth watching. The Bluejays were favored by 81.5-points and played 8-points under the 'number' going 1-2 ATS. This being Creighton first road game may raise some concern but there are no fans in attendance and this is a 'national' game for them with more significance and they are 7-1 ATS last-8 against teams winning records over .600. Take CREIGHTON! |

12-07-20 | Bills v. 49ers +1 | Top | 34-24 | Loss | -118 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
Buffalo vs San Francisco (at Glendale, AZ) 49ers over Bills- As most are aware this game has been shifted to Arizona as COVID has forced the move from California. Buffalo has won four of five with the lone loss coming on this field against the Cardinals when a 'Hail-Mary' pass handed them their only defeat. The Bills who were the same 8-3 a year ago went 2-3 their final five games while many have to be reminded that the 49ers were in the Super Bowl last season. SF is getting healthy as players return and the Bills face the undefeated (as of now) Steelers next week. That SAN FRANCISCO! |

12-06-20 | Seton Hall +2.5 v. Penn State | Top | 98-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
Seton Hall at Penn State 8:00 ET Pirates (+) over Nittany Lions- After opening with a 71-70 loss at Louisville, Seton Hall bounced back to win their first of the season against Rick Pitino and Iona but have dropped a pair since losing bat Rhode Island and to No. 21 Oregon in Omaha, NE. But, the Pirates are 51-25 ATS in their last 76 games as road underdogs while Penn State is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and as favorites. Take SETON HALL! |

12-06-20 | Washington State v. USC -11 | 13-38 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Washington State at USC 7:30 ET Trojans (-) over Cougars- The way things are playing out Southern Cal looks like the best thing the Pac-12 has to offer as they enter with two wins as heavy favorites who were lucky to survive. Washington State is 1-1 having defeated Oregon State and Losing to Oregon and have allowed 320 yards a game passing. Trojans to exploit that defense (or lack of). Take USC! |

12-06-20 | Kentucky v. Georgia Tech +6.5 | 62-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Georgia Tech 5:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Wildcats- Both of these clubs are off to rocky starts as No. 10 Kentucky has dropped 2-of-3 while Georgia Tech is still looking for their first victory after losing a pair. The Wildcats at least can claim they were beaten by big name schools in Kansas and Richmond whereas the Yellow Jackets were beaten by Georgia State and Mercer as favorites. Despite their two losses GT is a high scoring group averaging 96.5 points in their losses while the Cats ranked No. 203 averaging just 69 points. Take the points...take GEORGIA TECH! |

12-06-20 | Patriots v. Chargers -118 | 45-0 | Loss | -118 | 15 h 10 m | Show | |
New England at San Diego 4:25 ET Chargers (+) over Patriots- Cam is right! No need to apologize for winning even with 69 yards passing. Patriots won over Arizona last week and we are still trying to figure out how...make be a Belichick thing. It's certainly not an Anthony Lynn 'thing' who has still needs to apologize for his trouble understanding clock management, time-outs and getting plays off on time after time-outs. Hugh coaching the difference for New England here but the Chargers have more firepower! Takt the LA CHARGERS! |

12-06-20 | Browns +5 v. Titans | Top | 41-35 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
Cleveland at Tennessee 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Titans- Very sneaky...watch out for this one. I imagine most will see the Titans as very inviting side with their version of Jim Brown, Derek Henry running with authority over and through defensive backs. Both clubs are 8-3 but appear different in the public eye. This pair are 1 and 2 running the ball with the Browns at 161 rypg and the Titans 158 rypg with Cleveland's passing game lame at No.30 while Tannehill throws for just 227. Titans have turned the ball over just five times a league low but.. It's CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Saints v. Falcons +3 | 21-16 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Saints- The way I see it Saints 'backers' are loving it when Brees sits! Last year it was Bridgewater going 6-0 ATS and even when Hill gets the start they seem to dominate, especially of late on defense. N.O. has surrendered just 3, 13, 9, and 3 points in their last four games and have the No. 1 defense at 285 ypg and No. 2 Rush 'D' at 76.6 ypg. Atlanta rises as home dogs going 11-4 ATS L-15 and with Raheem Morris at the helm they have won 3 of 4 and 4 of 6 overall. Take ATLANTA! |

12-06-20 | Colts v. Texans +3.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Colts- How 'bout them inconsistent Colts...they just can seem to string together wins before they throw in an uninspired performance like refusing to step in front of Derek Henry last week as the Titans ran over Indianapolis for 229 yards. Indy is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in Houston and 4-0 ATS L-4. While Philip Rivers' TD/Int ratio always an issue it's 16/9 and he still is venerable to the pick-6. Houston defense (if you can call it that) is Ranked No. 30 allowing 410 yards a game and No. 31 in rushing 'D' (154 ypg) and their rushing 'O' (84 ypg) is No.31. Still, the Texans since O'Brien was jettisoned have a winning attitude and record 4-3. The road team is 9-2-2 L-13 dog is 7-3-2 ATS in series. Take the TEXANS! |

12-06-20 | Raiders v. Jets +7.5 | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Raiders- Sure, I have become a Raiders fan but that doesn't mean I will play against my pocketbook. Coach Gruden has this team believing that they can win and they can (they beat KC) but they are not ready yet. Injuries and the virus have hurt chemistry and they might be the only team the Jets can beat...nah! Can't see Vegas not showing up after last weeks performance (43-6) at Atlanta but being they best beware as the Jets become desperate to land a win. Take NY JETS! |

12-05-20 | Oregon State v. Utah -11 | 24-30 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
Oregon State at Utah 10:30 ET Utes (-) over Beavers- Here it is, an 0-2 team (Utah) is a double-digit favorite against a team that just defeated their arch rivals in the closing seconds. Oregon State just defeated Oregon for just the second time in 13 years 41-38 scoring with :33 left and have been celebrating every since. Utah meanwhile was blowing a 21-0 lead over Washington after having dropped their opener to USC 33-17. South Carolina graduate transfer Jake Bentley leads the Utes offense and they should be in command against this No. 94th ranked defense allowing 443 ypg. Beavers should get trapped but the Utes here...Take UTAH! |

12-05-20 | Oregon v. California +9 | Top | 17-21 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
Oregon at California 7:00 ET Golden Bears (+) over Beavers- Both clubs off losses to rivals and yet it probably hurts Oregon more than it does California. True that the Golden Bears (0-3) have yet to win but the Ducks loss surely knocks them and the Pac-12 out of any shot for the FBS. Ducks have won the last three and 10 of the last 11 meetings with the bears lone win at home in 2016. Hey, Herbert is gone and the Ducks spend more time on the ground where Bears have a chance to growl. Cal out-gained Stanford by a 150 yards on the ground while Oregon's putrid defense gives up 457 YPG, 30-points per and have only two forced turnovers while surrendering five. Take CALIFORNIA! |

12-05-20 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -13 | 14-6 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
Indiana at Wisconsin 3:30 ET Badgers (-) over Hoosiers- They have had their run but the engine main cog has a bad wheel and the Hoosiers feel good season will close on a sad note starting here. Indiana lost their QB Michael Penix Jr. for the year and was the glue on offense. But it's the Hoosiers defense leads the nation in take-a-ways with 18 including 16 int's. Wisconsin is looking to rebound after their loss to Northwestern two weeks ago after a bye last week due to COVID, whenever they get to play they are going to punish their opponent and Indiana is the perfect sacrificial lamb. With the No. 1 defense allowing just 233 ypg they Badgers will dominate the Hoosiers w/o their QB will have difficulty moving the ball. Take BADGERS! |

12-05-20 | Nebraska +2 v. Purdue | 37-27 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Purdue 12:00 Noon ET Cornhuskers (+) over Boilermakers- Despite their 1-4 record the Cornhuskers have been good to 'us' as we have collected on both their ATS wins and we will again here. Purdue opened the season with a upset win over Iowa although the Hawkeyes out-gained the Boilermakers by a 100 yards and they have been out-gained by every opponent every at Minnesota where they lost anyway. The underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |

12-05-20 | Oklahoma State v. TCU +2.5 | 22-29 | Win | 100 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at T.C.U. 12:00 Noon ET Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- Okay State is off a 50-44 OT win over Texas Tech where substitute Dezmond Jackson ran for 235 yards replacing All-American Chuba Hubbard who was out. The funny thing about is was they the Cowboys were out-gained by the Red Raiders by 100 yards and are now 0-4 ATS in their last four. TCU has turned things around after a slow start having won 3-of-4 and have a few trends working in their favor. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and the underdogs is 5-0 ATS. But, they are also just 9-24 ATS in their last 33 home games overall. Take HORNED FROGS! |

Penn State at Rutgers 12:00 Noon ET Nittany Lions (-) over Scarlet Knights- Wow, what a difference a coach can make. When Greg Schiano left the Scarlet Knights after a 10-year run going 68-67 winning bowl games in five of six seasons. Rutgers is was 7-45 in Big Ten play since 2014 and had lost 21 straight conference games entering the season. Under Schiano they have two and blew double-digit leads in two others. Starting with school worst 0-5 Penn State posted their first win last week at Michigan 27-17 their season high in points since their OT opener at Indiana. Despite their record the Lions are in a much higher class. Take PENN STATE! |

12-04-20 | Wisconsin -3.5 v. Marquette | Top | 65-67 | Loss | -106 | 21 h 7 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Marquette 7:00 ET Badgers (-) over Golden Eagles- Wisconsin (3-0) is a deep veteran team that was making a run when the season closed down last March winning their final eight and have started with three straight this season. Marquette (2-1) fell short against Oklahoma State Tuesday as they weren't able to crack the Cowboys zone shooting just 8-foe-31 in the second half. If they think OK St can play defense wait until they get a load of the Badgers. Both coaches preach defense first so this should a low scoring game with the Badgers controlling the tempo. Take WISCONSIN! |

12-02-20 | Illinois +5 v. Baylor | Top | 69-82 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
Illinois vs Baylor 10:00 ET Illini (+) over Bears- Oh my...this is one to watch! No. 2 Baylor (2-0) is to meet No. 1 Gonzaga on Saturday in Indianapolis but must contend with No. 5 Illinois today and they are beasts on both ends of the floor. Baylor of course is averaging 99 points per game and the Illini counter with 98.7 ppg but the difference comes at the other end of the floor where the Bears allow 67 ppg Illinois defense is allowing 57.5 ppg. They also are No. 2 in the nation in rebounds with 50.7! Take ILLINOIS! |
|||||||
12-02-20 | Oregon v. Missouri +4 | 75-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Missouri vs Oregon 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Ducks- This one just looks a bit out of whack as No. 20 ranked Oregon (0-0) opened a meager 4-point favorite over unranked Missouri (1-0) who has an impressive 91-64 romp over oral Roberts. The Ducks closed the 2019-20 season strong going 6-1 SU and ATS finishing with four straight wins before COVID changed everything. This game is in Omaha and the trip will be somewhat easier for the Tigers and this one should go down to the final horn. Take MISSOURI! |

12-02-20 | West Virginia +9 v. Gonzaga | 82-87 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
West Virginia vs Gonzaga 7:00 ET Mountaineers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 1 Gonzaga (2-0) opens the Jimmy V Classic against No. 16 West Virginia (3-0) in Indianapolis replacing Tennessee who cancelled because of COVID-19. There are questions now surrounding the virus and may be sidelined. I like the Mountaineers here mostly because Bob Huggins made the call and requested the chance to play the nation's top ranked team. The Bulldogs average 96 points per game a and it is Huggins stye to slow the opposition down and knock them off their tempo. In 2017 Sweet-16 Gonzaga defeated the Mountaineers 61-58 reaching the Final game. This time that will be good enough. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |

11-30-20 | Seahawks v. Eagles +6.5 | Top | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 24 h 53 m | Show |
Seattle at Philadelphia 8:15 ET Eagles (+) over Seahawks- These two met at Philadelphia in the playoffs and Seattle posted a 17-9 victory their second of the season over Philly and by the same score 17-9. The Eagles had struggled most of the year and then closed with a flurry before the loss to end their season. In 2020 it has been even worse for them as Carson Wentz has been under duress the entire season having been sacked 40 times with 18 turnovers and a 73.3 passer rating. It's the same old story for the Seahawks plenty of offense with 400 yards per game, but their defense hasn't improved and is dead last allowing 435 yard per game. The head-to-head games are all Seattle as they are 6-0 ATS in the past six meetings including 5-0 ATS in Philadelphia. Both clubs are in second place with only the Eagles assured to move into first with a victory. Take the EAGLES! |

Indiana vs Providence 2:30 ET Friars (+) over Hoosiers- This is the 'Maui Invitational' and it is being played in Asheville, N.C. as both clubs enter 1-0 after squashing inferior opponents. Indiana took Tennessee Tech by 30-points in and 89-59 beatdown while Providence won by 41 points over hapless Fairfield 97-56. The Hoosiers have been inconsistent under Archie Miller as they are just 3-8 ATS after an ATS win while the Friars under coach Ed Cooley are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall. Both coaches stress defense first but will run guards based offense. Instinct directs me to the Friars...Take PROVIDENCE! |

11-29-20 | Chiefs v. Bucs +3.5 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show |
Kansas City at Tampa Bay 4:25 ET Buccaneers (+) over Chiefs- Oh man is this it? Is this where we actually see the 'changing of the guard' as Patrick Mahomes brings his 9-1 Chiefs into Tampa Bay where quarterback Tom Brady is starting to show some wear and tear and Kansas City has the NFL's No. 2 offense averaging 414 yards per game while the Buc's defense has been consistent the past few seasons and is No. 6 over and No. 1 against the run for the second straight season. The Chiefs may not even be concerned withy that as they are the leagues No. 1 passing teams at 300 yards per games and Mahomes has 27 TD passes with just a pair of interceptions. Tampa Bay meanwhile has had two clunkers in their last three games as Brady's efficiency has dropped Matt Patricia sleepless. Kansas City garnered a bit revenge last week at las Vegas against the Raiders who had inflicted the their only loss in early October and they have won their last five since. There are a few things that have me backing Tampa here. To start with Tom Brady is a prideful man and I have to believe he will atone for his indiscretions in recent losses and the Buccaneers need to make a statement here otherwise they fall to 7-5 and into also-ran territory. Take TAMPA BAY! |

11-29-20 | Raiders v. Falcons +3 | 6-43 | Win | 103 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Raiders- Although the Raiders lost to Kansas City Sunday they gained a number of admirers because let's face it John Gruden has them playing good football. Gone (for the most part) are the silly penalties and they are protecting the ball better now than anytime since his 10-year tenure started. What's to say about Atlanta...they are 3-7 and coming off a beatdown by New Orleans where they failed to score a touchdown and were dominated after taking a 9-3 lead late in the second period. QB Matt Ryan who has thrown for 2,978 yards this season but was sacked eight times and took 11 hits against the Saints. The issue here is if Gruden can get his guys 'up' on the road after an emotional last minute loss to the Chiefs I can see the Raiders being flat but they do have the better coaching. I was looking for a trend to throw at you and there's ones on Vegas were really good, but I found this about the Falcons, they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as an underdog. That's it! Take ATLANTA! |

Arizona at New England 1:00 ET Patriots (+) over Cardinals- Oh boy, do I believe we have a winner here...it just figures. New England goes to Houston as a small favorite and lose outright (they never should have been favored anyway) and now they return home and are made the same size underdog to Arizona. Oh yeah big and bad Arizona that is the 'public's darlings' and with good cause because Kyler Murray my end being the best of his kind ) a run first QB, ala Cam Newton, Jackson, Watson none of whom throw the ball as well as Murray. But, this is his first trip to Boston and first time up against Bill Belichick and they both mean something. What I can't be sure. I LOVE the home team here. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

11-29-20 | Giants v. Bengals +6.5 | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
N.Y. Giants at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Bengals (+) over Giants- Of course the storyline here first is the injury to Joe Burrow and the rookie sensation is done for 9-12 months. Okay, that's fine but the Bengals still are just 2-7-1 under his leadership, so here steps Brandon Allen to run the show and although he's now an accomplished starter he has had some experience and played for Bengals coach Zac Taylor with the Rams in 2017 and 2018. New York believe it or now can move into first place with a win here and the are are perfect 5-0 ATS on the road this season. But, now they are the favorites and although they probably have played the best football in their division they have not been favorites on the road. Cats have dropped last two and should rally the troops for this one. Take CINCINNATI! |

11-29-20 | Titans v. Colts -3 | 45-26 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Titans- When you look at these two teams they compare like a mirror on offense but when it comes to the other side of the ball the Titans are lacking, Indianapolis who pounded Tennessee on a Thursday night three weeks ago in their own backyard will now the Colts will have all those cardboard cutouts giving them the silent treatment. Indy has the No. 2 rated defense allowing 298 yards per game while the Titans defense surrenders 389 yards per. Colts are 6-2 ATS as home favorites and even better they are 14-5 ATS against teams with winning records meaning they come to play against the better competition. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

Nevada at Hawaii 11:00 ET Rainbow Warriors (+) over Wolf Pack- Nevada stands at 5-0 after their win over San Diego State where they gave up 252 yards in the first half and shut down the Aztecs in the 2nd half allowing them to just 41 yards and holding State to a season low in offense. Hawaii at 2-3 has the talent to qualify for a bowl bid and are coming off a pair of losses to San Diego State and Boise State who had to scramble to get bye the Warriors. Hawaii coach Todd Graham loves to ambush visitors from the mainland as he has his Rainbows 22-4 ATS against teams off a SU and ATS win as well as 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings on the island. Take HAWAII! |

11-28-20 | Auburn v. Alabama -23.5 | 13-42 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
Auburn at Alabama 3:30 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Tigers- Imagine laying 24-points in an Auburn-Alabama rivalry game and doing it with confidence. Every year we see the same Alabama team with minor differences but they have the speed, the size and the talent with a quarterback destined to be a first-round pick. On the other side this season Auburn has not passed the eye test and they are nothing like the teams of past seasons. Between you and me because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but this Bo Nix for the Tigers is a poor man's Tim Tebow with even less throwing accuracy and not much else. I am the guy that us usually looking for an opportunity to play against the Tide and get the points...not today. Take ALABAMA! |

11-28-20 | Northwestern v. Michigan State +13.5 | 20-29 | Win | 100 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Michigan State 3:30 ET Spartans (+) over Wildcats- After defeating Wisconsin 17-7 last week Northwestern is now 5-0 SU and ATS and face one of the Big Ten's bottom dwellers as Michigan State is just 1-3 and have been badly out-played in three of their four games squeaking out a 27-24 victory as a 21-point underdog against rival Michigan. The Spartans opened the season losing to Rutgers who had lost 24 straight-Big Ten games beat the Wolverines and them were pummeled by both Iowa 49-7 and Indiana 24-0. They have had two weeks to get ready because their game against Maryland was cancelled last week while the Wildcats are off a huge win over the Badgers and oddly enough have been out-gained yardage wise by three of their five opponents. The underdog is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings but sadly for the Spartans they are 0-8 ATS in the last eight meetings as hosts. But, I expect Northwestern to be a bit flat after defeating Wisconsin who out-gained the Cats by 103 yards. In a surprise with the points. take MICHIGAN STATE! |

11-28-20 | Penn State +1 v. Michigan | Top | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show |
Penn State at Michigan 12:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Wolverines- I 'jumped the gun' last week with Penn State as they dropped to 0-5 straight-up (0-5 ATS) breaking a 135 year school trend of posting a win before their fifth game. Things are a little better for Michigan at 2-3 but their 1-4 ATS record has their 'backers' calling for Harbaugh's head. The fact that he has yet to beat Ohio State and has losses to weakling instate rival Michigan State, had to go overtime to defeat Rutgers who has ONE Big Ten win in 27 games and they had their 33-year win streak (1987) against Indiana end. For Penn State the 'numbers' are brutal and they are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings and they are 5-20-2 ATS after a straight-up loss. Still, the Nittany Lions believe it or not have out-gained their five opponents by an average of 75 yards per game. Despite the records of these two the Lions are a better team and will get their much needed win. Take PENN STATE! |

11-27-20 | Stanford +1 v. California | 24-23 | Win | 100 | 29 h 46 m | Show | |
Stanford at California 3:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Golden Bears- So here we are with 'The Game' between 0-2 Stanford and 0-2 California and with so much riding on this one I can't wait for basketball season but hey as a good friend once said 'there's got to be a winner.' Stanford coach David Shaw choose to take an extra week to heal the Cardinal defensive wounds and realizing the significance of playing Cal. The Golden Bears who have lost the last nine meetings were in position to defeat Oregon State last week and a blocked punt in the final moments doomed their efforts and Friday the Cardinal gives 'The Axe' to the Golden Bears. Take STANFORD! |

Notre Dame at North Carolina 3:30 ET Tar Heels (+) over Fighting Irish- I finally came over and I'm convinced that Notre Dame is one of the best teams in the country and that they have finally reached the 'upper tier' of college football powers and here I go 'playing' against them. Not, to worry Irish fans it looks like the odds-makers are giving you room to win and 'not cover, otherwise I believe the Tar Heels have a great shot of winning this game outright. Under Mack Brown, North Carolina is 6-2 going 4-0 SU and ATS at home, they are No. 4 in Total Offense averaging 563 YPG and are ranked No. 10 at 43.1 PPG. It's a perfect storm for the Tar Heels...take NORTH CAROLINA! |

11-27-20 | Nebraska +14 v. Iowa | 20-26 | Win | 100 | 25 h 19 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Iowa 1:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Hawkeyes- Having grown up watch Nebraska power football something they have done for a half century and it's difficult to digest how much they are being abused by bottom rung teams like Illinois who ran for 285 yards in last weeks' 41-23 home loss. The Cornhuskers defense ranks 98 allowing 450 yards a game while the home Hawkeyes are ranked 17 allowing just 320 ypg. Iowa has been more impressive than their 3-2 record would indicate as they started 0-2 but have out-gained all five opponents. Looking at the trends will make you sick if you are looking to back Nebraska and 'we' are so I won't even go there. I expect a HUGE effort from a college football team that will do whatever it can to not be humiliated like they were last week. Take the CORNHUSKERS! |

11-26-20 | Washington Football Team +3 v. Cowboys | 41-16 | Win | 100 | 26 h 2 m | Show | |
Washington at Dallas 4:30 ET DC Swampers (+) over Cowboys- There have been so many low points for the Cowboys this season and one of them was the first meeting in Washington when the DC Swampers dominated Dallas winning 25-3 while allowing the Pokes just 142 yards total offense. Despite their poor play, both these 3-7 clubs trail the Eagles by just a half-game for the NFC East division lead. Dallas has been able to move the ball for the most part but they haven't got it done on defense and have created just eight turnovers on the season. These two have an intense rivalry that has seen the underdogs win (ATS) 28 of the last 41 meetings and Washington is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 trips to Dallas where the 'Boys are just 22-46 ATS as favorites including last five 0-5 ATS. Take Washington! |

11-26-20 | Texans v. Lions +3 | Top | 41-25 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 60 m | Show |
Houston at Detroit 9:30 ET Lions (+) over Texans- Houston who until Sunday's victory of New England had two wins entering that contest but had only defeated Jacksonville (twice). The Texans have now won 2-of-3 after a 1-6 start but a defense built by Romeo Crennel is ranked 31 of 32 NFL teams allowing 412 yards a game. Detroit under Matt Patricia is heading south fast and I still have difficulty figuring out out they actually won four games this season. The Lions over-rated offense is ranked No. 27 and their defense is No. 25, numbers that are not very impressive. After getting shut out at Carolina last week where the Lions looked like they just stopped playing and gathered only 185 yards total offense while rushing for just 40 and allowing five sacks and making only 10 first downs. As bad as Detroit is, if they have any kind of professional pride they will come out smokin' on Thursday. Houston is just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games and 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 as favorites while the Lions are even worse going 3-7 ATS Last-10 at home going 4-11 ATS in last 15 as underdogs and 6-15 ATS in their last 21 overall. All because they are poorly coached and they stink...but Texans have no character and the Lions eat well on Thanksgiving. Take DETROIT! |

L.A. Rams at Tampa Bay 8:15 ET Rams/Buccaneers UNDER- Both of these clubs are off impressive wins with the Rams defeating Seattle 23-16 and the Bucc's pounded Carolina 46-23 gaining 544 yards on offense. But, understand this, it will be the defense's that will make the difference in today's matchup. Tampa Bay has had the top rushing stop for the past two seasons and this season ranked No. 2 right now allowing just 76.6 yards rushing per game while Los Angeles in ranked No. 1 defensively overall allowing just 296 yards per game and No. 2 in totals points surrendered with 18.7. Rams are Under is their last six and 5-1 to the under at Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are 9-4 Under in their last 13 at home against teams with winning records. Play the UNDER! |

Kansas City at L.V. Raiders 8:20 ET Raiders (+) over Chiefs- The NFL has called put nine Las Vegas players on the reserve/COVID list and they were not able meet or practice until Friday. Coach John Gruden says that they will 'be ready for the game on Sunday. Kansas City may have revenge on their minds as it was the Raiders that scarred their undefeated season a game where LV's defense played a strong second half. The storyline behind the Chiefs is Andy Reid's record after a bye week, he is 18-3 SU and KC is 12-5 ATS at Raiders last 17 meetings. But, Vegas well coached and 5-0 ATS vs the AFC West L-5. Take LAS VEGAS! |

Green Bay at Indianapolis 4:25 ET Colts (-) over Packers- Great ,match-up between veteran and future Hall of Fame quarterbacks as Aaron Rodgers brings his first place Packers into Indianapolis to face of with Phillip Rivers. Rivers just moved past Dan Marino for total passing yards and although he has never won a championship always falling to Manning or Brady he will be honored upon retirement. He may not be as strong as Rodgers but the Colts No. 1 total defense will be the difference. All quarterbacks as different under pressure and we saw Tampa Bay harass and shut down Aaron earlier this season. Colts are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games against teams with winning records. Take INDIANAPOLIS! |

11-22-20 | Dolphins v. Broncos +3.5 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
Miami at Denver 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Dolphins- Miami certainly has their 'mojo' working double time as they just impose their defensive will on any and all opponents, just ask the Niners, Rams, Cardinals and Chargers all who out gained the Dolphins only to lose on the scoreboard. The Dolphins have turned to Tua Tagovailoa and they are 3-0 under his leadership as he maintains a controlled offense. Denver has turned to a young QB as well with Drew Lock who threw four Int's against the Raiders last week is nursing sore ribs and may be replaced by Brett Rypien has one win under his belt this season in a pair of start's. Regardless of who is under center for the Broncos they are a winner here today. Miami is 29thy in total offense with 319 yrg and the Mile High guys are 6-1 ATS after an ATS loss. Take DENVER! |

New England at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Patriots- This is it, this is the one...if it is to win, I believe that business must done! New England despite all their problems still conduct themselves and play like professionals while the 'troubles' surrounding this Houston team goes deeper than we will ever realize. The Patriots rose up for us last Sunday taking down the Ravens outright and now take to the road facing a team in total turmoil that is 2-7 with a pair of wins over Jacksonville who has just one victory themselves. In days gone by I would have no difficulty using the Texans as a best bet...but not on top today. Pats should stumble and the Texans should take advantage...'And thine shall be done.' Take HOUSTON! |

11-21-20 | Oklahoma State +7 v. Oklahoma | 13-41 | Loss | -105 | 29 h 8 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at Oklahoma 7:30 ET Cowboys (+) over Sooners- For a rivalry game and a game between two evenly ranked teams this line seems a bit generous to me. No. 17 Oklahoma is a 7-point favorite against a team ranked higher at No. 14 in Oklahoma State. Not only a pair of Oklahoma's face-off but a pair of Spencer's quarterbacking for each side. But, it's not offenses that will determine this games winner it will be their defenses and State's is much superior. The Cowboys allow just 315 yards a game while the Sooners surrender 515 yards per game...a HUGE difference. Note that the road team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and State is 12-4 ATS against teams with winning records and 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games as underdogs. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

Wisconsin at Northwestern 3:30 ET Wildcats (+) over Badgers- Oh man, if you like to gamble you will be taking one here playing against the red-hot and dominating Badgers. Granted Northwestern is 4-0 but not hardly as impressive as Wisconsin has been destroying teams like Michigan 49-11 and Illinois to open the season 45-7. Their No.1 ranked defense has been leading the way and freshman QB Graham Mertz has been great and errorless in his two game. The Wildcats will counter with graduate transfer Peyton Ramsey who had three TD passes against Purdue and the nCats defense isn't so bad itself ranked No. 10 at 302 yards surrendered per game. The Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and get it done again here today. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Iowa at Penn State 3:30 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hawkeyes- It has been 19 years since Penn State started a season 0-4 and they finished 5-6 that season winning five of their last seven. Not only are the Nittany Lions 0-4 SU they are also 0-4 ATS and the odd fact is that they out-gained all opponents except for Ohio State as penalties, missed field goals and turnovers a key moments have doomed their season. Penn State has won the last SIX meetings and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs and are 8-3 ATS after a straight-up loss. Iowa is 2-5 ATS after an ATS win and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games on grass and only 1-3-1 ATS in the last five conference games. Take PENN STATE! |

Cincinnati has been impressive all season and their defensive task this week is to slow down the Knights No. 1 ranked offense which averages 619 yards per game while Cincy's defense is ranked 9th allowing just 301 yards per outing. UCF is 1-5 ATS in their last six as they have been prohibited favorites and now their role is changed. Now, the Knights are home underdogs and they are 5-2 ATS as dogs and 4-1 ATS against teams with winning records and the Bearcats are 0-4 ATS in their last four on natural grass.

Purdue at Minnesota 7:30 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Boilermakers- No doubt Minnesota has been a major disappointment from their opening week loss to Michigan (Yeah, that Michigan!) and they were annihilated 35-7 by Iowa last week. Purdue (2-1) started with an upset win over Iowa and then beat Illinois before losing 27-20 to Northwestern last Saturday. Boilermakers had +2 yards rushing last week and have just 191 yards rushing total in three games this season. Being one-dimensional is rarely a successful formula on the field. Look for the Gophers to emerge from the hole that they have created and use their ground game to dig out a home victory. Take MINNESOTA!

Arizona at Seattle 8:20 ET Seahawks (-) over Cardinals- These two are in the middle of the 3-way log jam at the top of the NFC West with the Rams among the leaders. Four weeks ago the Cardinals came from 10 down with 6:44 left in the 4th quarter and scored three times to win in OT 37-34 and handed Seattle their first loss. They were 5-0 and Russell Wilson had been faultless but in the past four games he has committed 10 turnovers as the Seahawks have dropped 3-of-4. Arizona is coming off a miracle win over Buffalo and have impressive numbers as road underdogs going 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 whereas the Hawks are 5-2 ATS as home favorites and 32-15-4 ATS after a straight up loss. The Cardinals have played well on the road so don't be surprised if they get the 'action.' Take SEATTLE! |

Minnesota at Chicago 8:15 ET Bears (+) over Vikings- To start with I don't understand how Minnesota has been made this kind of favorite on the road against a team that has a better overall record. Chicago has dropped three straight and have fallen 5-1 and the division lead to trailing Green Bay by two full games. The Vikings at 3-5 have posted wins over Detroit and the Packers have brought them back in contention after a 1-5 start. The Bears have had trouble scoring and coach Nagy has handed the play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and that can't hurt. The home teams have dominated this series going 25-10 ATS in the last 35 meetings and the Bears are 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings as hosts. Take CHICAGO! |

Baltimore at New England 8:20 ET Patriots (+) over Ravens- Listen, I understand, this is a game that you, we, me anyone of 'us' probably could care less about with the stumbling fumbling falling Cam Newtown trying to revive a fading franchise. Baltimore of course tricked most of the 'wiseguys' who piled on the Colts last week as the Ravens got the gold winning 24-10. The last time these two met (11/03/19) Lamar Jackson was 'Newton like' rushing for a pair of TD's and passing another in an easy 37-20 win handing the New England c their first loss of the season. Newtown has failed to throw a TD pass in four consecutive games as New England without any speed wide outs to speak of will try and control the game on the ground. This one should play close. Take the PATRIOTS! |
