SUPER BOWL LX B€$T BET: Seahawks/Patriots MEGA MAX 

The Angle: Leading up to the Super Bowl, you'll hear a lot about the New England Patriots soft strength of schedule, but you can only play who's in front of you, and they've played as well as you could possibly ask for. Both teams are very well balanced, but I really like how the Pats can stuff the run and as good as Sam Darnold has been, I guess I'm still not completely sold. 

We can also note that on the season, favorites between -6 and -4 are 28-20 straight up but only 17-31 (35%) against the spread!

The Bet: PATRIOTS (5%). 

Rams/Bears NFL TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: I'm still not a believer of the 12-6 Bears, while I think the Los Angeles Rams might possibly be even better than their 13-5 record suggest. The Bears are giving up 365.1 yards per game (29th), and the Rams have been lighting up their opponent even in the losses. I like the favorite to run away with this one. 

The Bet: RAMS (4%). 

Miami (FL)/Ole Miss CFP Semi TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: The Ole Miss Rebels are on a 2-0 run against the spread as underdogs, and while you can't run against the Hurricanes, the Rebels' strength lies with quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. His playmaking ability gives Ole Miss a real shot to keep it close or pull off the upset.

The Bet: OLE MISS (4%). 

AFC Game of the Month SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: There are no playoff implications with this matchup, but the Bengals' offense has really come alive after a shutout loss to Baltimore, scoring 45 and 37 points respectively across their last two games. The Cleveland Browns boast one of the best defensive units in football - at home. Their number drop significantly on the road, and with Shedeur Sanders (who has two TD passes vs five INTs last three starts) vs. Joe Burrows in the QB matchup, I think this line should be even wider. 

The Bet: BENGALS (5%). 

CFB GAME OF THE WEEK: New Year's Eve Cotton Bowl MAX BET

The Trend(s): The Ohio State Buckeyes are a super solid 10-2-1 against the spread and I expect to see a Buckeyes team with their hair on fire after seeing a 16-game winning streak come to an end with a disappointing home loss to Indiana in the Big Ten Championship Game.  

The Bet: OHIO STATE (5%). 

AFC Game of the Month 5% SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: This looks like a good spot to back the Houston Texans to bounce back from a humiliating 23-21 loss as a two-touchdown home favorite over Vegas. The Los Angeles Chargers are in a potential flat spot after four consecutive wins, the last three as underdogs. Justin Herbert threw four INTs when he faced Houston in the AFC wild-card round last season. and the Texans defense looks even tougher this season. 

The Bet: TEXANS (5%).

Broncos/Chiefs XMAS DAY TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: Sure, the Kansas City Chiefs are down to their third-string quarterback after season-ending injuries to Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew, but I'm not counting on their offense to keep this close, but rather their defense. The Chiefs are holding opponents to 19.6 points per game, and while some of that can be attributed to their offense controlling the ball a fair share of the game, I still think their defense is among the best in the NFL. 

The Bet: CHIEFS (4%). 

Vikings/Giants NFL TOP PLAY of the Day 

The Angle: The Minnesota Vikings have had a disappointing season but they're coming into Wwek 16 playing their best football of the season coming off back-to-back wins, over Washington and Dallas. Rookie QB J.J. McCarthy has shown improvement in recent weeks, and Giants rookie QB will be put under pressure against a Minnesota defense that ranks top 5 for both passing yards allowed and completions. 

Play on: VIKINGS (4%). 

Eagles/Commanders Saturday NFL TOP PLAY

The Angle: This looks like a tough spot for the Philadelphia Eagles who will play on six days rest for a second week in a row and a 31-0 win over Vegas sets up a letdown spot against a pesky NFC East rival coming off a win over another division rival. Philly is clearly the better side, but anything can happen in these type of games. 

Play on: COMMANDERS (4%)

Tulane/Ole Miss CFB TOP PLAY of the Day

The Angle: This looks like a tough preparation spot for Tulane with Ole Miss' new head coach Pete Golding bringing an unknown game plan. Uncertainty gives the Rebels a clear edge as they've had time to gel under him, while the underdog Green Wave scramble to adjust. Ole Miss should capitalize and pull away comfortably.

Play on: OLE MISS (4%)

Gasparilla Bowl TGIF CFB TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Memphis Tigers come into the Gasparilla Bowl on an 0-3 slide straight up and against the spread while the NC State Wolfpack are coming off a pair of wins, including an impressive 21-11 win over FSU. Once a contender for a spot in the College Football Playoff, I don't think the Tigers can muster motivation for this one.

Play on: NC STATE (4%)

Falcons/Bucs TNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Atlanta Falcons suffered a brutal 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, their worst in the eight-year history of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, but Seattle has a quality team this season.

The Falcons have a decent chance to bounce back against a Tampa Bay squad also in freefall, going 0-5 ATS over their last five and dropping a 24-20 decision as touchdown+ favorites to the Saints last week. I don't think the Bucs should be laying this kind of number at the moment. 

Play on: FALCONS (4%). 

5% NFL Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Washington Commanders are struggling, having lost seven straight after a respectable start to the season. The Minnesota Vikings have also seen difficulties, coming off a shutout loss to the Seahawks. However, the return of rookie QB J.J. McCarthy from injury is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the Vikings, and realistically, their offense is unlikely to worsen from here and the defense is still good, and certainly the best unit on the field in this contest.

Play on: VIKINGS (5%). 

Indiana/Ohio State Big Ten Champ. Game TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Ohio State Buckeyes are an impressive 10-1-1 against the spread this season and seem underestimated again in the Big Ten Championship Game. Both Ohio State and Indiana are undefeated, but Ohio State has dominated recent meetings, making it hard for Indiana to overcome that history. Indiana’s upset win at Oregon is notable, but Ohio State’s consistent dominance, strong defense, and superior betting record give them the edge in this clash.

Play on: OHIO STATE (4%). 

Cowboys/Lions TNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Dallas Cowboys have gained massive momentum with back-to-back wins over the previous season's Super Bowl participants. Now facing the Detroit Lions, a team with an inconsistent record of trading wins and losses over their last eight games, Dallas has every chance to pull off another upset. The Cowboys’ offense, led by Dak Prescott, is potent enough to outscore nearly any opponent, and with Detroit’s secondary showing vulnerabilities, Dallas should not be intimidated.

Play on: COWBOYS (3%). 

Giants/Patriots MNF TOP PLAY 

The angle: The New York Giants are coming off three consecutive ATS covers. However, just like you may encounter trap games after big wins and upsets, it’s also mentally and physically taxing to continue exceeding expectations as an underdog, perhaps even more so if not even improving in the win column. Considering that the New England Patriots, despite winning nine in a row, are only 1-3 against the spread in their last four games, I expect the Pats to snap out of their “funk” and dominate the Giants as big favorites here on prime time.

Play on: PATRIOTS (4%). 

Packers/Lions Thxgiving Day TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Detroit Lions gave up 27 points in a win over the Giants last week, and their defensive weaknesses have been exposed multiple times in recent weeks. The Green Bay Packers come into Detroit off two strong offensive performances and boast the second-fewest points allowed among NFC teams this season. Detroit is accustomed to playing on Thanksgiving Day but snapped a seven-game losing streak last year. It looks like this Thanksgiving, the Lions will have little to be thankful for again. 

Play on: PACKERS (4%). 

Panthers/49ers MNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The 49ers, though 6-1 straight up and 5-2 against the spread as favorites, are being asked to cover their biggest spread of the season in this game They have traded ATS wins and losses over the last eight games, and coming off a dominant 41-22 win at Arizona, they might find it tougher than expected to shake off this pesky and resilient Carolina Panthers team.

Play on: PANTHERS (4%). 

Late 10:30 PM ET CFB: Utah St/Fresno St. TOP PLAY

The Angle: Utah State is a super solid 8-2 against the spread on the season but I think that record works to our advantage here as the market seem to have overcompensated when it comes to this line. Utah State is 0-5 straight up on the road while Fresno State is 4-1 at home, and laying under a field goal we are more or less betting the Bulldogs to keep the Aggies winless on the road. 

Play on: FRESNO STATE (4%). 

5% Lions/Eagles SNF Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Detroit Lions have had some inconsitent results in recent weeks and they're 1-2 ATS as underdogs on the season while the Eagles are 5-3 ATS as favorites, perfect 2-0 laying a field goal or less. 

Play on: EAGLES (5%). 

AFC North Game of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle: The Cincinnati Bengals are having a tough year, but don't expect any sympathy from the Steelers who are seeking revenge for a 33-31 loss at Cincinnati back in October. Add a bounce back angle from a 25-10 loss at LA Chargers last week and I think we have a strong case for backing the Steelers. 

Play on: STEELERS (5%). 

5% CFB Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Pittsburgh Panthers have performed well ATS this season at 7-2, including a solid upset win at FSU, mostly while playing as favorites. However, this week they face a different challenge hosting Notre Dame, where they will be underdogs.

The Fighting Irish have won seven straight after a slow start and generally cover the spread unless burdened with an exceptionally large number.

Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi downplayed this game’s importance for CFP hopes, signaling a relaxed mindset heading into the matchup. Absolutely not," Narduzzi said when asked if it's a 'must-win' game. "It is not an ACC game. I'm glad you brought that up. It's not an ACC game. I would gladly be beat 103 or 110-10 in that game. They can put up 100 on us as long as we win the next two after that." This attitude, combined with Notre Dame’s dominant run, sets the stage for a potential rout in favor of the Fighting Irish.

Play on: NOTRE DAME (5%). 

Ravens/Vikes NFL TOP PLAY

The Angle: This looks like a good spot to fade the Minnesota Viking after their upset win over NFC North rivals Detroit last week. Wins like that cost both physically and emotionally, and the Ravens have had extra time to rest and prepare following a Thursday night route of the Dolphins in Miami. 

Play on: RAVENS (4%). 

Falcons/Colts NFL Non-Conf Game of the Month SUPER MAX

The Angle: This looks like a great spot to back the Indianapolis Colts to bounce back from a 27-20 loss at Pittsburgh. The Colts boast the leader in passing yards Daniel Jones (2,404) and the league's leader in rushing yards Jonathan Taylor (895), and while the Falcons have been good against the pass, they're allowing 124 rushing yards per game (23rd). The Colts have too many ways of hurting their opponents, and I think the favorite will run away with this one. 

Play on: COLTS (5%). 

5% CFB Game of the Month SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: Expect a breakout performance from the Oregon offense, which is averaging 41.25 points and 483.9 total yards per game this season, coming off a 21-point outing against Wisconsin. Both teams are coming off a bye week, but Iowa has struggled ATS as underdogs, going 1-4-1 in its last six such spots. Oregon has shown dominance on both sides of the ball as they aim to secure a College Football Playoff spot in December.

Play on: OREGON (5%). 

Raiders/Broncos 4% TNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Raiders, coming off a heartbreaking 30-29 OT loss to Jacksonville due to a failed two-point conversion, are set to bounce back and cover the inflated spread against Denver. The Broncos appear ripe for a letdown after six consecutive wins and have failed to cover the spread the last two times they were favored by a touchdown or more. I expect Denver to win but not cover, making the Raiders the value play here.

Play on: RAIDERS (4%). 

Cardinals/Cowboys MNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Dallas Cowboys can't stop anyone and although the Cardinals are 2-5, the five defeats were by a total of 13 points. This should, at worst, be another close loss, but don't be surprised if Arizona and Jacoby Brissett pulls off an upset outright. Also, Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Kyler Murray could "have a role" in the contest, which would be huge considering his career numbers against Dallas. 

Play on. CARDINALS (4%). 

5% NFL Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: Despite the Colts ranking #1 in points scored and total offense, this game won’t be an easy win on the road. Pittsburgh’s defense has given up 33 and 35 points in their last two games, but they’ve been stronger against the run than the pass and should be able to contain Jonathan Taylor.

While the Colts are getting a lot of hype, the Steelers seem to be overlooked after recent losses to Cincinnati and Green Bay. I believe they have a solid shot at stealing this one outright, but let's take the points as an extra insurance policy. 

Play on: STEELERS (5%)

5% CFB Game of the Week MAX BET

The Trend(s): The Colorado Buffaloes have won their last two games as underdogs of a touchdown or less outright.

Arizona has the advantage of coming off its bye week, but the Wildcats are 0-2 on the road this season, losing 39-14 getting 3½ points at Iowa State and 31-28 as a two-point favorite at Houston last time out. 

Play on: COLORADO (5%). 

NFC South Game of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are off to a hot start, but four of their five wins were decided by a field goal or less.

The New Orleans Saints are just 1-6, and while only a few losses were close, I think they can keep this competitive. The Bucs confidence must've taken a hit in last week's 24-9 Monday night loss to the Lions, and now a banged up Bucs team missing a ton of starters must play on a short week.

5% KSU/KU CFB Game of the Month SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: The Kansas State Wildcats have been piling up points over a 2-1 run straight up while going 3-0 against the spread. Kansas has conceded 37, 20 and 42 points over its last three games, and KSU has dominated this series for many, many years. With both teams coming off their bye, I like the Wildcats chances of pulling an upset. 

5% PLAY ON KANSAS STATE. 

5% Vikings/Chargers TNF Game of the Week MAX BET

The Angle: The Minnesota Vikings have traded wins and losses, and after a 28-22 loss to the Eagles after coming off their bye, I like them to bring the pain here against a Chargers team playing for an eighth consecutive weeks, and the ailing Bolts have dropped three of their last four. 

5% PLAY ON THE VIKINGS. 

4% Bucs/Lions MNF TOP PLAY

The Angle: This looks like a prime spot to fade a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that’s been overachieving with a ton of close wins and now faces the wrath of a Detroit Lions squad eager to bounce back from a loss to Kansas City. Detroit also dropped their season opener 27-13 at Green Bay but bounced back with a dominant 52-21 home win over Chicago in Week 2. Sure, Detroit’s secondary is depleted, but Baker Mayfield won’t have all his weapons available either, and I expect regression is coming for Mayfield.

NFC Game of the Month SUPER MAX BET

The Angle: The Philadelphia Eagles are rattled, coming off consecutive losses after starting the season 4-0. This week presents another tough test against a Minnesota team coming off its bye after back-to-back games in Dublin and London, and I don't think the visitors will be able to match the home team's energy levels. As of the release of this pick it's unclear whether we'll see J.J. McCarthy or former Eagle Carson Wentz under center for the Vikes, but I see positive angles for each of them.

4% Wazzu/Virginia CFB TOP PLAY

The Angle: With the Virginia Cavaliers sitting at 5-1 straight up and against the spread, plus a perfect 4-0 SU/ATS run, they’re flirting with regression to the mean, suggesting it may be time to fade them. However, in my opinion, that time hasn’t come just yet and I expect another dominant outing from Virginia a Virginia team  coming in fresh off its bye. 

Washington State has covered back-to-back ATS as underdogs, including an impressive 20-3 road win at Colorado State as 5-point underdogs, but this will be their third straight road game, which can be physically taxing,

TGIF Broken Chair Showdown: Nebraska vs Minnesota TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Nebraska Cornhuskers own a 5-1 straight-up record but a 2-4 record against the spread on the season.

Historically, Nebraska has struggled against Minnesota, who currently leads the rivalry series 38-25-1 with strong home dominance (27-11-1).

Given Nebraska’s recent success but ATS inconsistency, and Minnesota’s historical edge and home advantage, this game looks like a potential emotional letdown spot for Nebraska after entering the top 25.

The Angle: The Cincinnati Bengals are 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings with the Steelers, but closed all but two of those games as the favorite and the cover came as underdog. Due to the Bengals' injury situation with Joe Burrow out, the Steelers are the favorite in this matchup, but the Bengals are still a strong team and will look to start a three-game homestand with a win.

5% NFL Interconf Game of the Month SUPER MAX

The Angle: Everyone (77% of tickets) expects the Bills to bounce back from a loss to the Patriots, and while I'm also all about finding great rebound spots, this line looks way inflated because of it. The Atlanta Falcons have had plenty of time to prepare coming off their bye, and I think they'll want to show up here in their first "Monday Night Football" home game in seven years.

5% ACC Game of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle: This looks like a good spot to back FSU to bounce back from back-to-back losses, including a disappointing 46-38 defeat as a 7-point favorite at Virginia. Saturday’s 28-22 home loss to No. 3 Miami wasn’t quite as shocking but still a setback. Turnovers hurt the Seminoles, but I expect them to rebound and end their slide against a Pittsburgh team that is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 road games.

The Trend(s): Over the past three seasons, the Eagles have gone 2-8-1 ATS when laying a touchdown or more. The Giants are coming off a 26-14 loss at New Orleans but have a 2-3 ATS record this season, alternating covers and misses. I expect the Giants to bounce back with a cover in this game against Philadelphia, a team coming off its first loss but still, in my opinion, overrated by the betting market.

5% PLAY ON THE GIANTS.

5% SEC Game of the Year MEGA MAX BET

The Angle: Everyone expect Georgia to bounce back from a 24-21 loss to Alabama, but the truth is that they've not been to be trusted to cover as big favorites. Since the start of last season, they're 1-9 against the spread as double digit favorites and Kentucky is also in a bounce back spot after getting blown out at South Carolina. 

5% PLAY ON KENTUCKY. 

Ravens/Chiefs TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Kansas City Chiefs this season represent a weaker version of the dominant teams seen in recent years, evidenced by their 1-2 start, including a hard-fought win at the New York Giants. The market continues to show respect for the Chiefs despite these signs of decline.

The Baltimore Ravens, also 1-2 after losses to Buffalo and Detroit, look to bounce back from a disappointing Monday night home loss to the Lions. This creates a scenario where the Ravens, motivated and looking to reassert themselves, could make a statement against the struggling Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Angle: Don't be fooled by the Bearcats back-to-back blowout wins. They opened the season with a loss to Nebraska in its only real test so far.

This week the stakes are raised again as they visit the Kansas Jayhawks who are 3-1, with their lone loss coming at Missouri. The Bearcats are coming off a bye, but I think Kansas' balanced attack will prove too much to handle. 

5% PLAY ON KANSAS. 

4% FSU/VIRGINA TGIF TOP PLAY

The Angle: The Florida State Seminoles opened the season with an impressive upset win over Alabama and have followed it up with dominant blowout wins over East Texas A&M and Kent State. However, their upcoming game at Virginia presents a tougher challenge. Quarterback Tommy Castellanos is listed as probable after leaving last week's game due to an injury, which may limit the offense. Additionally, the Seminoles have 13 players on the injury list, including six ruled out, which could affect depth and performance.

Virginia, sitting at 3-1 with an explosive offense that has scored at least 31 points in every game this season, will with a loss to its name already bring urgency to the contest.

The Raiders also opened the season with a win, a 20-13 victory over New England, but are not getting the same amount of praise as the Chargers. Raiders coach Pete Carroll is a mastermind and I think he'll have a plan to stop Justin Herbert who's coming off a big game.

This matchup is their best chance to break the streak, having closed as double-digit underdogs in the previous eight meetings.

Middle Tennessee comes off a 34-14 home loss to Austin Peay and had a massive roster turnover during the offseason.

While Wisconsin’s defense is well-established, this game is an opportunity for their offense to break out and run up the score in a big win.

TGIF NFL MAX BET: KC/LAC AFC Game of the Week 

The Kansas City Chiefs are perennial Lombardi Trophy favorites, but the LA Chargers can give them a serious test in the season opener. The Chargers finished 12-5-0 against the spread last year, and their defense, led by newly bolstered talent and solid coaching continuity under Jesse Minter, is among the best in the league, ranking top 3 in scoring defense last season. Offensively, Justin Herbert has a breakout potential year with expanded weapons after a promising 2024. Meanwhile, Kansas City faces some offensive line uncertainties with key departures. 

This matchup in Brazil adds a neutral-site dynamic that could level the playing field even more. The intro sets up well for backing the Chargers ATS.

I'm backing Georgia Tech to win and cover in their opener against Colorado.

Early in the season, running the ball tends to be more effective than passing, as offenses often need time to build timing and rhythm.

This matchup heavily favors Philly, especially with their ability to control the game on the ground.

Ohio State's two regular season losses came to that same Oregon team, and Michigan who showed how strong of a team it is down the stretch. The Longhorns have played a soft schedule, and when they faced a tough opponent, Georgia twice, they lost both games.

5% TGIF CFB GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET

The Texas State Bobcats have just one more win than UNT on the season, but as the spread suggests, they're the much, much stronger team in this matchup and I like them to rout their opponent in the First Responder Bowl on Friday.

North Texas ranks third in the nation in total offense but will be without quarterback Chandler Morris who earned third-team All-American Athletic Conference honors. Their backup has completed only four passes over three appearances this season, so to say that this will be a different Mean Green offense than what we've seen would be a massive understatement.

The Bobcats rank fifth in FBS in total offense at 474.3 yards per game and I expect them to run away with this one.

4% DUKE/OLE MISS GATOR BOWL CFB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This is a big number to cover, but I trust the Ole Miss Rebels to get a big win over Duke in the Gator Bowl on Thursday night. Ole Miss should be looking to prove a point after being left out of the College Football Playoff, and going by comments from coaches and players, the team is fired up. Duke is decimated by opt-outs and the transfer portal, especially on offense, and I think they'll struggle to keep up.

4% ALA/MICH RELIAQUEST BOWL NEW YEAR'S EVE CFB TOP PLAY 

Neither the Alabama Crimson Tide nor the defending national champions Michigan Wolverines qualified for the inaugural College Football Playoff 12-team format and will instead face off in the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa, Fla., on New Year's Eve.

The Wolverines, at 7-5, weren’t seriously in contention, but I believe they’re undervalued in this matchup. Both teams are dealing with opt-outs, so there’s a lot of uncertainty, but Michigan defeated their rivals, Ohio State, 13-10, in an upset for the ages last time out and has the edge to cover an inflated spread.

4% MIZZOU/IOWA MUSIC CITY BOWL TOP PLAY

The Iowa Hawkeyes finished the season with a worse regular season record than the Missouri Tigers and have since been hit hard by the transfer window and injuries; among the missing players is their leading rusher, Kaleb Johnson. The Tigers are also decimated but in slightly better shape as they'll have their starting QB, top-two running backs, and leading receiver in the lineup.

4% COWBOYS/EAGLES NFL TOP PLAY

The Dallas Cowboys are starting to shed their early-season struggles, winning four of their last five, including two outright as underdogs. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with a tough spot, coming off a divisional loss to Washington and now without Jalen Hurts, who is sidelined with a concussion. Despite Philly’s backup QB stepping in, the total looks a bit low, considering the offensive talent on both sides. I like Dallas to cover the spread and the over to hit in what could be a high-scoring affair.

5% ARI/LAR MAX BET ALERT - NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

Very different motivations in this one, with the Rams fighting for a playoff spot and the Cardinals eager to play spoiler. Divisional matchups like this can be unpredictable, and Arizona already proved capable with a dominant 41-10 win over LA earlier this season. While the Rams have been red-hot, winning four straight and going 8-2 since their bye, I expect the Cardinals to rise to the occasion and make this a much closer contest.

5% PLAY ON THE CARDINALS. 

5% DEN/CIN AFC GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off three wins but the competition has been soft.

The Denver Broncos had won four on the bounce before a 34-27 loss to the Chargers in LA last Thursday and would clinch a berth in the postseason with a win here.

The Broncos are healthy and rested and I think this one will go down to the wire.

4% PITT/TOLEDO CFB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Pittsburgh Panthers enter the GameAbove Sports Bowl on a five-game skid and are severely shorthanded, with 16 players sidelined due to injuries or transfers. Concerning, as depth has been a glaring issue for Pitt, especially during their late-season slump.

Toledo is in a much better position and boasts the MAC's top passing attack. I like the Rockets to put up enough points to keep this one close.

4% PLAY ON TOLEDO. 

5% CHIEFS/STEELERS AFC GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

This looks like a great spot to back the Pittsburgh Steelers off two uncharacteristic blowout losses as underdogs. The Kansas City Chiefs have all but clinched the No. 1 seed, lone first-round bye, and home-field advantage while the Steelers are battling the Ravens for the AFC North title. With both teams playing on extra short rest, I really like the home team in this matchup.

4% XMAS EVE CFB HAWAII BOWL TOP PLAY

The San Jose State Spartans will have to do without star wideout Nick Nash as he 's begun preparations for the NFL draft, but I still like them to win and cover as QB Walker Eget still has a decent amount of weapons and surpassed 300 passing yards in four of his six starts. 

They´ve also been solid defensively and South Florida has been lit up as underdogs more often than not. 

4% PLAY ON SAN JOSE STATE. 

4% BUCS/BOYS SNF TOP PLAY 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are riding high after four straight wins, including a 40-17 victory as underdogs at the LA Chargers last Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys are quietly trending upward with three wins in four games. While critics might argue the Cowboys haven't beaten a marquee team during that stretch, the same could be said about the Bucs' streak.

I like the Cowboys to keep this one competitive.

5% LAR/NYJ NFL INTERCONF GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

The New York Jets have finally started to play up to their potential. While it's too late for a playoff push, the 4-10 Jets, led by a resurgent Aaron Rodgers, seem determined to finish strong, with Rodgers heating up over the last two weeks. The Los Angeles Rams, on the other hand, find themselves in a tough spot, traveling cross-country for an outdoor December east coast game after three straight wins, most recently a gritty 12-6 victory over the Niners. This feels like a prime letdown spot for the Rams.

5% CFB PLAYOFFS ROUND 1 GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

Both teams are coming into this College Football Playoff first-round matchup at 10-2 for the season, but I can't help but feel that Ohio State is getting too much respect from the market. The Buckeyes closed out the season with a shocking 13-10 loss as a 19.5-point favorite over Michigan, and as Ohio State is still shorthanded on the offensive line I think they'll struggle to break through this stout Tennessee defense.

4% STEELERS/RAVENS SAT NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to bounce back from a 27-13 loss in Philly as they head to Baltimore this Saturday. Matchups between these fierce rivals are often tightly contested, and their last meeting in November was no exception, with Pittsburgh eking out an 18-16 win at home. While the Ravens may seek revenge, history suggests it won’t come easy—Pittsburgh has covered the spread in six of the last seven meetings. Expect another hard-fought battle.

PACKERS/SEAHAWKS SNF TOP PLAY

This looks like a great spot to fade the Green Bay Packers against a red-hot Seattle team that's quietly been one of the league's best in recent weeks. The Seahawks have won four straight, all as underdogs, while Green Bay is dealing with key injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

5% WAS/NO NFC GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

The Washington Commanders ended a three-game losing streak with a dominant 42-19 win over the Tennessee Titans. They're almost back to full strength again, I think they're in for another blowout win here against a Saints team that struggled against the Giants in their last game.

While Washington's QB Jayden Daniels is one of the top candidates for Rookie of the Year, Saints' starter Derek Carr is sidelined due to a concussion and we're likely to see Jake Haener under center for the home team. With a big edge on both sides of the ball, I trust Washington to get the job done.

5% MAX BET ALERT - RAMS/NINERS NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The San Francisco 49ers showed new life in a 38-13 win over the Bears last week, but their already injury-ridden squad has picked up even more injuries since then. The Los Angeles Rams are fairly healthy and peaking at the right time, coming off wins over New Orleans and Buffalo.

4% BENGALS/COWBOYS MNF TOP PLAY

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high after back-to-back divisional victories over Washington and the Giants, and now they face a Cincinnati team that seems to be playing out the string at 4-8 after three straight losses. Injuries are a factor for both squads, but the Cowboys are on the mend, and their momentum makes it questionable whether they should even be underdogs in this spot.

4% SNF CHARGERS/CHIEFS TOP PLAY

The Kansas City Chiefs may boast an impressive 11-1 record, but their 5-7 ATS mark tells a different story, with six straight failed covers.

While an overcorrection by the bookmakers seems inevitable, this Sunday night divisional clash with the 8-4 SU and ATS LA Chargers doesn’t feel the spot.

Divisional games are always unpredictable, and with the Chiefs’ trend of tight finishes, this one feels primed to be decided by a late field goal.

5% BEARS/NINERS MAX BET ALERT - NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

This looks like a great spot to back the Chicago Bears, who aim to make a statement after parting ways with head coach Matt Eberflus, who had seemingly lost the locker room long ago. Teams often rally after a coaching change, eager to prove the problem wasn’t the players.

Facing a San Francisco 49ers squad whose season has been derailed by injuries and now appears to lack direction, the Bears have a golden opportunity to turn the page with a strong performance.

5% SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The Georgia Bulldogs won 30-15 when these two teams clashed during the regular season, but I expect a very different result here in the SEC Championship Game. That was Texas' lone loss of the season, while Georgia came up short twice: at Alabama and at Ole Miss.

Georgia might have taken the Longhorns by surprise in Game 1, but good teams know how to make adjustments, and Texas' defense has been outstanding lately.

4% PACKERS/LIONS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Detroit Lions have devoured almost anything in their way lately, but I expect their division rivals to give them all they can handle as the Green Bay Packers roll into Ford Field for this Thursday night showdown.

Detroit’s defense is dealing with key injuries, and the Packers are hitting their stride, coming off dominant wins over San Francisco and Miami. This one should be closer than the line suggests.

5% HOU/JAX AFC GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a mini-bye and had covered the spread in four consecutive games before a 52-6 loss at Detroit on Nov 17.

Trevor Lawrence will make his first start since Nov 3, and I expect them to bounce back with a solid outing from that humiliating loss.

The Houston Texans are in a downward spiral, having lost three of four games and only beating the shorthanded Cowboys.

4% STEELERS/BENGALS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

I've been waiting for the Cincinnati Bengals to turn things around, but instead, they're trending downward with three losses in their last four games. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking like the real deal. Their defense has always been solid, and now Russell Wilson is heating up, creating opportunities for their strong running game to shine.

5% AUB/ALA SEC GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The No. 12 Alabama Crimson Tigers currently find themselves outside of the 12-team College Football Playoff picture.

They are perfect 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS at home, but the Auburn Tigers would like nothing more than to play spoiler for their rivals, especially as last season, the Crimson Tide defeated Auburn 27-24 with a fourth-and-goal from the Tigers' 31-yard line.

Auburn is coming off a 43-41 win over Texas A&M and I think this will be a close game.

The Kentucky Wildcats have dominated their archrival Louisville Cardinals with five straight wins, but they enter this matchup with zero momentum, going 1-5 in their last six games. Wildcats coach Mark Stoops is planning to start true freshman Cutter Bole at quarterback, signaling this game might not be as high of a priority for Kentucky as it is for Louisville. The Cardinals, gearing up for a bowl game, are determined to avoid a repeat of last year’s bitter defeat.

How can the Ole Miss Rebels realistically find motivation after their College Football Playoff hopes were crushed by a loss to the Gators in Gainesville?

The Miami Dolphins are on a three-game winning streak, but those wins came in favorable conditions—two at home and one in LA. Historically, Tua Tagovailoa has struggled in cold weather, and the conditions at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving Eve won't do him any favors. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are one of the hottest teams in the league and well-equipped to thrive in the chilly Wisconsin weather.

5% EAGLES/RAMS SNF MAX BET - NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Philadelphia Eagles are riding a six-game winning streak while the LA Chargers have won four of their last five, but I think the Eagles have a big edge over their opponent at SoFi Stadium Sunday night. The Rams have struggled against the run all season and the Eagles are averaging an NFL-best 181.3 rushing yards per game and 5.0 yards per carry (3rd). I expect the Eagles to run away with this one, no pun intended.

5% MISS/FLA CFB GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET

The Ole Miss Rebels come into this matchup well-rested after a 28-10 win over Georgia on Nov. 9. Meanwhile, the Florida Gators are in a potential letdown spot after pulling off a hard-fought upset against LSU last week.

The Gators' defense has been mediocre, allowing 400 yards per game and 5.5 yards per play. In contrast, Ole Miss boasts the nation’s second-ranked offense in both total yards and yards per play, complemented by a surprisingly solid defense, particularly against the run.

This sets up well for the Rebels to control the game on both sides of the ball.

5% PLAY ON OLE MISS. 

4% STEELERS/BROWNS NFL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Pittsburgh might be the better team, but AFC North matchups rarely follow the script. The Browns are in a prime bounce-back spot after blowout losses to the Chargers and Saints, while the Steelers could be poised for a letdown after five straight wins SU and ATS, including last week’s 18-16 upset over Baltimore. This looks like the perfect opportunity to side with the underdog.

BENGALS/CHARGERS SNF TOP PLAY

This one is easy; the LA Chargers are worse than their 6-3 record, while the Cincinnati Bengals are better than their 4-6 record.

The Chargers have benefited from a soft schedule, with wins over teams like Las Vegas, Carolina, Cleveland, and Tennessee.

Meanwhile, the Bengals have faced a much tougher slate, including Kansas City, Washington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore twice.

These teams will head in opposite directions, and I believe this game is completely mispriced due to the misleading records.

5% BAL/PIT AFC GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won seven of the last eight meetings straight up and covered the spread in six of those games. They won five as underdogs and although the Ravens are having a great season, so is Pittsburgh and I'm more than happy to take a field goal on the Steelers. The Ravens have a lot of success running the football, but here they'll face a defense allowing just 3.8 yards per rush attempt.

Mike Tomlin thrives as an underdog, and I would not be surprised if they win outright again.

The Virginia Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games and coming off an impressive upset win at Pittsburgh.

However, this matchup represents a massive step up in competition as they face an 8-1 Notre Dame team that has dominated most of its opponents.

With the Fighting Irish firmly in the College Football Playoff chase, expect them to keep their foot on the gas and aim for another decisive victory.

5% MAX BET ALERT - NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

Their records might suggest only a slight talent gap between the 7-3 Washington Commanders and the 7-2 Philadelphia Eagles, but I expect Philly to take this one comfortably.

Commanders' rookie QB, No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels, has had an impressive season, but facing one of the league’s toughest defenses on a short week will be a true test.

Meanwhile, the Eagles' ground game should thrive against a Washington defense allowing 142.7 rushing yards per game (24th) and 4.9 yards per rush attempt (29th).
