11-30-17 | Bucks v. Blazers -2.5 | 103-91 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 14 m | Show | |
My selection is on Portland minus the points over Milwaukee at 10:05 pm et on Thursday. I don't ordinarily like backing teams returning home off long road trips but I'll make an exception in this case as I like the short number we're being asked to lay with the surging Blazers. The Bucks are still learning to win on the road. Yes, they've gone 2-1 SU so far on their current trip, but one of those victories came in overtime against the lowly Suns and the other came two nights ago against a Kings squad that was playing the second of back-to-back nights off a huge upset win over the Warriors. In this particular spot, I simply believe the Blazers depth will prove to be the difference as they handle the 'Greek Freak' and ultimately win and cover. Take Portland (10*). |

11-28-17 | Wizards +5.5 v. Wolves | 92-89 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
My selection is on Washington plus the points over Minnesota at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. I like the spot for the Wizards here. They check in losers of four of their last five games, but their schedule had a lot to do with that. At least their offense has picked back up over their last couple of contests. I was encouraged by the fact they scored 105 points in a narrow home loss on Saturday, which came on the heels of a three-game in four-night road trip. Now they've had a couple of days off to regroup and I'm anticipating a stronger defensive effort tonight in Minnesota. The T'Wolves haven't posted consecutive wins since notching three straight victories from November 13th to 17th. Take Washington (10*). |
|||||||
11-27-17 | Pistons +6.5 v. Celtics | 118-108 | Win | 100 | 23 h 17 m | Show | |
My selection is on Detroit plus the points over Boston at 7:35 pm et on Monday. I'll grab the points with the Pistons in a big statement game against the East-leading Celtics on Monday night. Detroit is coming off a confidence-building one-point road win over the Thunder last time out. The Pistons will be aiming for their third straight road victory here and they've posted a winning record on the highway this season. The Celtics have won and covered in back-to-back games since seeing their long winning streak come to an end against Miami last week. As good as they've been, I don't believe they're invincible and against a highly-motivated Pistons squad, I think they're overvalued in this spot. Take Detroit (10*). |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Panthers v. Jets +6 | 35-27 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 22 m | Show | |
My selection is on New York plus the points over Carolina at 1 pm et on Sunday. The Panthers have gotten their season right back on track thanks to three consecutive victories but I’m not ready to anoint them as a true contender just yet. Keep in mind, two of those three wins came at home, and the other came against a then-struggling Bucs squad. Carolina is expected to get TE Greg Olsen back on the field this Sunday but I’m not sure how much of a contribution he’ll make in his first game following a long injury layoff. The Jets are accustomed to being involved in tight football games, with each of their last four losses coming by a touchdown or less. I do think they’ll look at this as a winnable game, and it’s certainly a victory they need sitting at 4-6 on the season. With their defense still firing on all cylinders, I look for the Jets to contain Cam Newton and stay inside the number on Sunday afternoon. Take New York (10*). |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Bears v. Eagles -14 | Top | 3-31 | Win | 100 | 16 h 19 m | Show |
NFL Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Philadelphia minus the points over Chicago at 1 pm et on Sunday. While the Bears have made some positive strides this season, they still have only three wins to their credit, and at this stage of their progression, I still rank them as one of the worst teams in the entire NFL. Here, they run into the hottest and perhaps best team in the league in the Philadelphia Eagles, on the road no less. While we’re certainly dealing with a lofty pointspread, I believe we’ll see the Eagles turn in another dominating performance. Everything is working for Philadelphia right now. The offense looks unstoppable with the addition of RB Jay Ajayi while the defense has been opportunistic to say the least. With that said, the Eagles haven’t been good enough for nearly long enough to get ahead of themselves at this stage of the season. I’m confident we’ll see Philadelphia keep its foot on the proverbial gas pedal on Sunday afternoon and the end result should be another rout at The Linc. Take Philadelphia (10*). |
|||||||
11-25-17 | Colorado v. Utah -10.5 | Top | 13-34 | Win | 100 | 24 h 21 m | Show |
Pac-12 Game of the Year. My selection is on Utah minus the points over Colorado at 10 pm et on Saturday. I’ll lay the points with the Utes in this showdown between five-win teams looking to become Bowl eligible. It’s been a tough stretch for Utah as it has dropped six of its last seven games after a red hot start to the season. Of course, the Utes have faced a brutal schedule over that stretch, with their most recent setback coming by just three points on the road against Washington last Saturday. I fully expect to see them take advantage of this winnable home game against the Buffaloes. Colorado split four games in October but has dropped back-to-back contests since. The Buffaloes did defeat Utah by a 27-22 score the last time these two teams met last November, but I’m not sure that this year’s edition will be so fortunate. The oddsmakers are giving the Utes the benefit of the doubt despite their recent struggles, and I believe it’s the right call. Take Utah (10*). |
|||||||
11-24-17 | Magic +8.5 v. Celtics | 103-118 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
My selection is on Orlando plus the points over Boston at 7:35 pm et on Friday. The Magic have lost six games in a row but I believe they have an excellent shot at staging an upset on Friday night in Boston. Despite their losing SU record, the Magic have actually gone 9-8-1 ATS on the campaign. They do have four SU road wins to their credit already this season. The Celtics finally lost a game on Wednesday night in Miami. They've been a phenomenal bet, going 15-3-1 ATS, but coming off a rare loss, I believe they're overvalued in this supposed bounce-back spot. The Magic suffered a 16-point home loss to the C's earlier this season. Expect a little revenge here. Take Orlando (10*). |
|||||||
11-24-17 | Western Kentucky -2.5 v. Florida International | 17-41 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 5 m | Show | |
My selection is on Western Kentucky minus the points over Florida International at 7 pm et on Friday. Florida International is fortunate to be Bowl eligible at this point as far as I'm concerned. The Panthers have four outright underdog victories to their credit already this season. I don't expect them to turn the trick again here, however. Western Kentucky was a Bowl team a year ago, defeating a good Memphis team. The Hilltoppers became Bowl eligible with a wild 41-38 overtime win over Middle Tennessee State last week. They've been involved in a ton of tight battles this season, and are better for it as far as I'm concerned. At 3-8 ATS, they haven't been a good bet by any stretch of the imagination but I believe they're undervalued as a small road favorite here. Take Western Kentucky (10*). |
|||||||
11-23-17 | Chargers -2 v. Cowboys | 28-6 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show | |
My selection is on Los Angeles over Dallas at 4:30 pm et on Thursday. The Chargers are just 4-6 on the season thanks to a miserable 0-4 start, but what more could be asked of them lately? All they’ve done is go 4-2 over their last six games with their only two losses over that stretch coming on the road against two of the AFC’s best teams, the Patriots and Jaguars. Those losses came by a combined 11 points, and they allowed just 41 points in the process. Don’t be fooled by the fact they gave up 24 points against the Bills last Sunday, as the majority of those points came when the result had already long been determined. Offensively, I do think the jury is still out as far as the Chargers go, but this is a favorable matchup against a Cowboys defense that is being asked to carry too much of the load right now. Dallas has hit the skids without RB Ezekiel Elliott over the last two weeks, and I don’t believe things will get any easier playing on a short week. We successfully faded the ‘Boys in Sunday night’s rout at the hands of the Eagles and won’t hesitate to go back to the well here. Take Los Angeles (10*). |
|||||||
11-23-17 | Vikings -2.5 v. Lions | 30-23 | Win | 100 | 16 h 52 m | Show | |
My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over Detroit at 12:30 pm et on Thursday. Last Sunday the Vikings were presented with a tougher matchup at home against the Rams as far as I’m concerned. While a letdown is a possibility here, I don’t see it as teams generally get up for these Thanksgiving Day games, and it comes against a division rival, in a revenge spot no less. Minnesota turned in one of its worst efforts of the season against Detroit back on October 1st, suffering a 14-7 loss at home. The Lions put up 27 points in a win over the Bears in Chicago last Sunday to improve to 6-4 on the season. That was Detroit’s third straight victory, but those wins came against an Aaron Rodgers-less Packers squad, the hapless Browns and the aforementioned Bears. Things won’t come as easy against a Vikings team that is rolling right now. Take Minnesota (10*). |
|||||||
11-21-17 | Kent State +15 v. Akron | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 22 h 17 m | Show | |
My selection is on Kent State plus the points over Akron at 7 pm et on Tuesday. We won with Akron (outright) in an underdog role against Ohio last week but I won't hesitate to switch gears and fade the Zips now that they're Bowl eligible, and laying a considerable number against Kent State on Tuesday night. The Golden Flashes have been awful this season, losing nine of 11 games. They enter this contest having allowed at least 42 points in four straight games - all losses. With that being said, they have proven they can at least play some semblance of defense on the road, giving up 21 points at Marshall and 24 points at Northern Illinois earlier in the season. They should play with some pride on Tuesday night, and have to see this as a winnable game, even as north of two-touchdown underdogs. Akron has won the last two meetings in this series, but that marks its longest winning streak against Kent State this decade. Take Kent State (10*). |
|||||||
11-20-17 | Falcons v. Seahawks -1 | Top | 34-31 | Loss | -113 | 25 h 35 m | Show |
Monday Night Game of the Month. My selection is on Seattle minus the points over Atlanta at 8:30 pm et on Monday. No question I'm comfortable laying the short number with the Seahawks at home on Monday Night Football. I'm confident we'll see the 'Hawks come together after losing a number of key cogs to injury. Yes, the Falcons rolled past an undermanned Cowboys squad last week, but they'll face a much tougher task here, heading to Seattle for a primetime game in mid-November. At 5-4, Atlanta probably has more to gain in this one, and certainly needs to start building some momentum. However, the Falcons have simply been too disjointed and inconsistent for my liking this season. The Seahawks are 3-1 at home, and I look for them to improve on that record here. Take Seattle (10*). |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Eagles -5.5 v. Cowboys | 37-9 | Win | 100 | 23 h 56 m | Show | |
My selection is on Philadelphia minus the points over Dallas at 8:30 pm et on Sunday. I'll lay the points with the Eagles on Sunday night as they catch the Cowboys at an opportune time. Dallas is in a bounce-back spot here after a no-show in Atlanta last Sunday but I'm not sure it will be able to pick itself up off the mat without Ezekiel Elliott. A better bounce-back opportunity will come on Thanksgiving Day against the Chargers. If you can't run the football, you're not going to have much success against this Eagles defense. I'm certainly not sold on the Cowboys ground game without Zeke. While Dak Prescott has stepped up before, I believe he'll be in tough against an emerging Eagles secondary. Offensively, the Eagles should have their way with an overworked and vulnerable Cowboys defense. Some believe the jury is still out on the Eagles and they're largely unproven. I'm not so sure. Take Philadelphia (10*). |
|||||||
11-19-17 | Rams +2.5 v. Vikings | Top | 7-24 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 56 m | Show |
NFC Game of the Month. My selection is on Los Angeles plus the points over Minnesota at 1 pm et on Sunday. I just don't like the way the Vikings are handling their QB situation right now. While Case Keenum remains the starter, it's pretty much a given that Teddy Bridgewater is going to be taking over at some point. That has Keenum looking over his shoulder, even after a huge performance in Washington last Sunday. The Rams simply continue to go about their business, and win games by margin. Here, we find them in an underdog role and I'm not sure it's warranted. The Vikings have looked tremendous at times but vulnerable at others. Take Los Angeles (10*). |
|||||||
11-17-17 | Pelicans +4.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 114-146 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 28 m | Show |
NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on New Orleans plus the points over Denver at 10:35 pm et on Friday. We missed the mark with the Pelicans on Wednesday night as they fell to a surging Raptors squad at home. I won't hesitate to go back to the well on Friday, however, as New Orleans finds itself in an underdog role in Denver. The Pelicans have actually been a better team on the road than at home this season, posting a 5-3 SU record. Of course, Denver has been terrific on its home floor, winning six of eight games. It is worth noting that the underdog has gone 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in this series. Wins from the home team have been few and far between in this particular matchup. While Denver has reeled off seven wins in its last 10 games overall, it has gone 4-6 ATS over that stretch. Take New Orleans (10*). |
|||||||
11-16-17 | Titans v. Steelers -7 | 17-40 | Win | 100 | 23 h 0 m | Show | |
My selection is on Pittsburgh minus the points over Tennessee at 8:25 pm et on Thursday. I'm not buying what the Titans are selling right now. Both of these teams come in riding perfect 4-0 winning streaks, but those streaks aren't created equal. The Titans barely survived a home game against a weak Bengals squad last Sunday. That's been a common theme for Tennessee lately as each of its last three victories have come by four points or less. Likewise, the Steelers escaped with a narrow 20-17 win in Indianapolis last Sunday. But the fact is, Pittsburgh has allowed 17 points or less in four straight games, while we've yet to see the offense bring its true 'A' game. The emergence of JuJu Smith-Schuster has given the Steelers 'O' a whole new dynamic. Look for them to go all out against the Titans on Thursday night. Tennessee is just 3-5-1 ATS on the season and I don't expect to see it improve on that mark here. Take Pittsburgh (10*). |
|||||||
11-15-17 | Raptors v. Pelicans -3.5 | 125-116 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
My selection is on New Orleans minus the points over Toronto at 8:05 pm et on Wednesday. Tough spot for the Raptors here, on the road for their third game in four nights, after pouring in 129 points in a blowout win over the Rockets last night. Meanwhile, the Pelicans are out to complete a perfect three-game homestand before hitting the road. While I would like to be laying a little less with New Orleans in this spot, I do believe the line is warranted. This has the makings of a tight game from start to finish, but look for the Pelicans to have a little more in the tank down the stretch and ultimately pull away for a win and cover. Take New Orleans (10*). |
|||||||
11-15-17 | Western Michigan +9 v. Northern Illinois | 31-35 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
My selection is on Western Michigan plus the points over Northern Illinois at 7 pm et on Wednesday. Western Michigan has stumbled lately, dropping two of its last four games, but there's no question the Broncos will be up for this showdown with Northern Illinois, especially following a get-right 48-20 victory over Kent State one week ago tonight. Northern Illinois bounced back from a 10-point setback against Toledo to roll Ball State 63-17 last Thursday. The Huskies have just one blemish on their record since the start of October. With that being said, I believe they're laying a couple of points too many in a game that has the potential of being a 'last with the ball wins' type of affair. Take Western Michigan (10*). |
|||||||
11-14-17 | Ohio v. Akron +13 | Top | 34-37 | Win | 100 | 23 h 9 m | Show |
CFB MAC Game of the Year. My selection is on Akron plus the points over Ohio at 7 pm et on Tuesday. We won with Ohio in last week's 'upset' win over Toledo. Not here though. Here, we'll back Akron plus a boatload of points. The Zips aren't getting nearly enough respect. With a win here they become eligible. That, along with the fact they've lost nine straight meetings in this series should give them all the motivation they need on Tuesday night. Akron has gone 4-3 SU and 6-1 ATS over its last seven contests. Ohio has won four games in a row, both SU and ATS. That's a streak that grinds to a halt on Tuesday night. Take Akron (10*). |
|||||||
11-13-17 | Dolphins +10 v. Panthers | 21-45 | Loss | -120 | 24 h 30 m | Show | |
My selection is on Miami plus the points over Carolina at 8:30 pm et on Monday. Just not sure the Panthers are a real contender, even at 6-3 on the season. It's been a wild ride for Carolina so far, and this certainly looks like a winnable game but I believe it will be hard-pressed to post a third consecutive victory. The Dolphins have lost back-to-back games but did show signs of life, particularly on offense, against the Raiders last Sunday night. At 4-4 there's no reason for the Fins to give up on the season. I expect them to bring their best effort on Monday Night Football, leading to an ATS cover. Take Miami (10*). |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Vikings v. Redskins +1.5 | 38-30 | Loss | -104 | 23 h 27 m | Show | |
My selection is on Washington plus the points over Minnesota at 1 pm et on Sunday. Simply put, I don't expect the Vikings offense to show up in Washington on Sunday afternoon. While the Vikes defense is good, I'm not convinced it is good enough to win a game all on its own. The Redskins turned in arguably their best, and certainly their gutsiest effort of the season last week in Seattle. But it's all for not if Washington can't follow it up with another strong showing here against the Vikings. As far as I'm concerned, this is a winnable game for the 'Skins and they'll treat it as such. With the suspension to Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott the door is open for the 'Skins to take a run at the NFC East. But they'll need to play better at home down the stretch, where they've only managed to split four games this season. Note that the home team has won the last four meetings in this series. Take Washington (10*). |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Georgia State -6.5 v. Texas State | 33-30 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
My selection is on Georgia State minus the points over Texas State at 4 pm et on Saturday. I'll lay the points with the Panthers as they travel to face the Bobcats of Texas State on Saturday afternoon. While we've missed the mark fading Texas State on a couple of occasions this season, I still believe it is one of the nation's weakest teams. The Bobcats have gone just 2-7 SU and 3-6 ATS thus far in 2017 and last time out, gave up 45 points in an ATS loss against New Mexico State. It was a wasted offensive performance as the Bobcats scored 35 points. Here, I don't anticipate them coming close to that number. Georgia State has won back-to-back games on the strength of its defense. I look for the Panthers offense to hold up its end of the bargain as well on Saturday. With a win here, the Panthers will quietly gain Bowl eligibility with a sixth win. I look for them to accomplish that feat with a convincing road win. Take Georgia State (10*). |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Georgia -1.5 v. Auburn | Top | 17-40 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 12 m | Show |
CFB Game of the Week. My selection is on Georgia minus the points over Auburn at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. I don't believe it's as easy as grabbing the points with Auburn and anticipating an upset in this one. While I'm not convinced the Bulldogs run the table this season, I do think they continue their undefeated run for at least one more week. Georgia pulled out a victory over South Carolina last week, but wasn't able to cover the spread. Still, the Bulldogs are a solid 6-3 ATS this season. Auburn has notched back-to-back ATS victories but has yet to post three straight covers this season. The Tigers are 4-1-1 ATS over their last six contests but four of those six games came on the road, where they've been undervalued. I believe the shoe is on the other foot this time around. Georgia has won three straight meetings in this series. I expect that streak to roll on here. Take Georgia (10*). |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Duke -3 v. Army | 16-21 | Loss | -125 | 15 h 5 m | Show | |
My selection is on Duke minus the points over Army at 12 noon et on Saturday. It's certainly been a rough stretch for Duke as it has dropped five games in a row entering Saturday's matchup with Army. Meanwhile, the Black Knights have won five games in a row. However, they're listed as the underdog for a reason here. Duke has actually been fairly stout against the run this season and that should serve it well in this matchup. It's not as if the Blue Devils have been coughing up what should have been easy wins during their current slide. There's still time for Duke to turn things around and become Bowl eligible, but it needs a victory here. I'm confident the Blue Devils get it as they do just enough to slow down the Black Knights ground attack. Take Duke (10*). |
|||||||
11-10-17 | Washington v. Stanford +6 | 22-30 | Win | 100 | 26 h 25 m | Show | |
My selection is on Stanford plus the points over Washington at 10:30 pm et on Friday. I'll grab all the points I can get with the Cardinal as they host the Washington Huskies on Friday night. Stanford suffered a narrow 24-21 loss on the road against Washington State last week - we won with the Cougars in that game. I won't hesitate to switch gears here, however, noting that the Cardinal had won five games in a row prior last week's setback. Keep in mind, the home team is 5-1 SU in the last six meetings in this series. Washington is coming off back-to-back victories, but the last time the Huskies hit the road they suffered a 13-7 loss at Arizona State. In Washington's three previous road games this season it was favored by 28, 11 and 27 points. In other words, those were all games the Huskies were expected to win big. Not here - not at this line. Take Stanford (10*). |
|||||||
11-08-17 | Toledo v. Ohio +4 | 10-38 | Win | 100 | 22 h 27 m | Show | |
My selection is on Ohio plus the points over Toledo at 7 pm et on Wednesday. It's been seemingly an eternity since Ohio last defeated Toledo at home but the Bobcats snapped a long losing streak in this series with a 31-26 victory in this matchup last October and I'm confident they'll turn the trick again on Wednesday night. Toledo has won five straight games heading into this contest, but that doesn't come as any surprise as the Rockets were heavily favored in all of those games. Ohio has won three games in a row, including back-to-back games here at home. This is the big one, though, and I'm anticipating the Bobcats best effort, noting they match up well with the Rockets explosive offense, allowing just 3.6 yards per rush on the campaign. Speaking of explosive, Ohio has scored 48, 48 and 45 points over its last three games. Take Ohio (10*). |
|||||||
11-07-17 | Grizzlies +4 v. Blazers | 98-97 | Win | 100 | 25 h 17 m | Show | |
My selection is on Memphis plus the points over Portland at 10:05 pm et on Tuesday. The Blazers have won back-to-back games on their current homestand but I believe they'll be hard pressed to notch a third straight victory on Tuesday night against Memphis. The Grizzlies will undoubtedly be up for this one after after dropping a game against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Sunday. That was a bitter pill to swallow after beating the Clippers the previous night. While the Blazers do check in with a winning SU record, they've gone just 4-5-1 ATS. The Grizzlies haven't been much better, going 5-5 ATS, but I do feel they have a lot more upside in that regard. The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in this series. Take Memphis (10*). |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Chiefs v. Cowboys -2 | 17-28 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
My selection is on Dallas minus the points over Kansas City at 4:25 pm et on Sunday. I'll lay the short number with the Cowboys as they host the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon. Dallas was given a boost late in the week as it was announced that Ezekiel Elliott would be reinstated for this Sunday's game. I expect to see Elliott run wild on Sunday afternoon. We saw plenty of cracks in the Chiefs defensive armor two weeks ago against Oakland and while they did respond well last Sunday night, that was against a hapless Broncos offense. Different story here as they go up against a Cowboys offense that is dangerous to say the least. Dallas has scored a whopping 73 points in winning back-to-back games but needs this one here at home to avoid falling back to .500 on the season and likely losing ground on the division leading Eagles. I like their chances. Take Dallas (10*). |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Rams v. Giants +5 | Top | 51-17 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
NFL Game of the Week. My selection is on New York plus the points over Los Angeles at 1 pm et on Sunday. Just don't like the situation here for the Rams as they travel across the country, off of their bye week, for an early game against what should be a very beatable opponent in the Giants. New York is off its bye as well, which came on the heels of a lifeless performance at home against the Seahawks. After getting outgained by well over 200 total yards against Seattle, there's no question New York had plenty to work on during the week off. The Rams have been a big surprise this season, reeling off five wins in their first seven games. I still believe they're a little vulnerable in a spot like this though - a game they're expected to win, on the road no less. Situations like this haven't come up for Los Angeles all that often in recent years. I'm calling for a tightly-contested affair in New Jersey. Take New York (10*). |
|||||||
11-05-17 | Bengals +6.5 v. Jaguars | 7-23 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cincinnati plus the points over Jacksonville at 1 pm et on Sunday. I'll grab the points with the Bengals as they hit the road in search of their fourth win in five games on Sunday afternoon. While the Jaguars are off to a terrific start this season, there's no real intimidation factor at play for road teams playing in Jacksonville. Yes, the Jags defense has been outstanding, but I do think we'll see the Bengals come up with a gameplan to relieve the pressure on Andy Dalton and open up the running game for rookie Joe Mixon. This game has the potential to go back and forth all afternoon long. I believe we're getting terrific value with a Bengals squad that is coming into its own. Take Cincinnati (10*). |
|||||||
11-04-17 | Stanford v. Washington State | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 19 h 42 m | Show | |
My selection is on Washington State minus the points over Stanford at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. I believe the oddsmakers have got it right installing the Cougars as a small favorite in spite of their inferior record to that of the Cardinal leading into this Pac-12 showdown on Saturday afternoon in Pullman. After a shaky start to the season, Cougars veteran QB Luke Falk has settled in, throwing for over 2,500 yards and 23 touchdowns and I’m not sure the Cardinal will have any answers for he, nor WR Tavares Martin Jr. on Saturday afternoon. Stanford will look to control proceedings on the ground with standout RB Bryce Love but I don’t anticipate it finding a great deal of success in that department. The Cardinal do check in with the superior conference record but that should only serve to boost Washington State’s motivation in this one. In what has the makings of one of the week’s most entertaining matchups, I’ll back the home side. Take Washington State (10*). |

11-03-17 | Memphis v. Tulsa +13.5 | Top | 41-14 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 19 m | Show |
CFB AAC Game of the Year. My selection is on Tulsa plus the points over Memphis at 8 pm et on Friday. In a game where the last team with the football might just win the game, I'll gladly take the generous helping of points with Tulsa at home. Memphis is coming off an easy win over Tulane last week - it's fourth consecutive victory. This is a Tigers squad that has been scoring at will this season. That isn't likely to change against Tulsa, but I'm not sure the Tigers defense will be able to hold up its end of the bargain. Note that Memphis has allowed 40, 31 and 38 points in three road games this season. Tulsa is coming off back-to-back narrow road losses by a combined 10 points. In the Golden Hurricane's most recent home game, it rolled to a 45-17 win over a quality Houston team (as virtually a two-touchdown underdog). This Tulsa offense can pretty much match the numbers of the potent Memphis offense. I expect the Hurricane to hang around for four quarters on Friday night. Note that Tulsa has gone 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings in this series, including last year's 29-point win as a six-point underdog. Take Tulsa (10*). |

11-01-17 | Raptors v. Nuggets -1 | 111-129 | Win | 100 | 24 h 25 m | Show | |
My selection is on Denver minus the points over Toronto at 9:05 pm et on Wednesday. The Nuggets are favored for a reason in this non-conference tilt on Wednesday night. Denver has gotten off to a slow start, having won just three of its first seven games, however just two of those games have come at home, where they generally own a considerable edge. As for the Raptors this will be the fifth game of a six-game road trip, so they have to be getting a little weary at this point, even after cruising to an easy win in Portland two nights ago. Denver has to be somewhat encouraged by a recent 2-2 road trip out east. The Nuggets were swept in this season series last year, with both matchups coming early in the campaign. Expect a different story to unfold here in 2017. Take Denver (10*). |

10-31-17 | Miami-OH +9.5 v. Ohio | 28-45 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 11 m | Show | |
My selection is on Miami-Ohio plus the points over Ohio at 8 pm et on Tuesday. Here we have a matchup of two MAC squads that went to Bowl games and were competitive in those games last December but find themselves in very different positions here in 2017. The Redhawks have won just three games but one of those victories did come in their most recent contest - a 10-point win over Buffalo. Ohio on the other hand has notched back-to-back victories, scoring exactly 48 points in each of those games. I simply feel a letdown may be in order for the Bobcats here after they outgained Kent State by over 300 total yards last time out. We're being given a generous helping of points with the Redhawks and I'm confident they stay inside the number here. Take Miami-Ohio (10*). |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Texans v. Seahawks -6.5 | 38-41 | Loss | -120 | 21 h 26 m | Show | |
My selection is on Seattle minus the points over Houston at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. Deshaun Watson will generate plenty of action in favor of the Texans in this one but I don't believe Houston is in a favorable spot as it heads to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Seahawks. The Texans are coming off three straight home games in which they scored points in bunches. Here, I don't expect them to draw the Seahawks into a shootout, however. Note that Seattle has allowed just 35 points over the course of its current three-game winning streak. Note that in two of those three wins, the Seahawks outgained the opposition by well north of 200 total yards. Watson may find some success moving the football in this one, but I believe we'll see the Texans struggle to finish drives with 7's on the board. Take Seattle (10*). |
|||||||
10-29-17 | Falcons -6 v. Jets | 25-20 | Loss | -120 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
My selection is on Atlanta minus the points over New York at 1 pm et on Sunday. The Jets are in a tough spot here as they try to rebound from a devastating blown opportunity in Miami last Sunday. They don't draw an ideal matchup as the Falcons are in a big bounce-back spot following their beatdown at the hands of the Patriots. We're being asked to lay a considerable number of points here, but I believe the line could be even higher. Look for the Atlanta offense to have its way with a Jets defense that has played over its head so far this season. At 3-3, it's not desperation time for the Falcons yet, but if they want to contend for the NFC title, this is probably a win they need to pick up. Take Atlanta (10*). |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Texas State v. Costal Carolina -7.5 | 27-7 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 26 m | Show | |
My selection is on Coastal Carolina plus the points over Texas State at 7 pm et on Saturday. We’ve picked on Texas State quite a bit this season - and for good reason as the Bobcats are one of the weakest teams in the country. Meanwhile, Coastal Carolina is coming off a confidence-building loss (if there is such a thing) last week on the road against Appalachian State as it put up 29 points in an eight-point setback. Like the Bobcats, the Chanticleers also own just one win on the season. That victory came way back in their season-opener against Massachusetts, so they’re undoubtedly hungry for a ‘W’ and this is certainly a winnable contest by my estimation (and according to the oddsmakers as well). Texas State has scored a grand total of 20 points in three road games this season. The Bobcats held up about as well as we could have expected last time out as they gave up 24 points in a 17-point loss at Louisiana-Lafayette. Here, I look for them to struggle on both sides of the football. Take Coastal Carolina (10*). |
|||||||
10-28-17 | Appalachian State -3.5 v. UMass | Top | 27-30 | Loss | -125 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
CFB Non-Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Appalachian State minus the points over Massachusetts at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. We missed the mark with Appalachian State last week as it didn’t come close to sniffing out an ATS cover against Coastal Carolina. The Mountaineers did manage to win that game – their fifth victory in seven games this season. They face a sneaky-tough matchup against UMass here as the Minutemen have found their groove offensively, scoring 50 points or more in back-to-back games. With that being said, they still own just one victory in seven tries this season. And the Mountaineers know a thing or two about scoring points, having put up at least 37 points on three different occasions. Regardless how this one plays out, whether it turns into a shootout or a low-scoring affair, I believe Appalachian State has the pieces in place to ultimately pull away and earn the cover. Take Appalachian State (10*). |
|||||||
10-27-17 | Tulane +11 v. Memphis | 26-56 | Loss | -108 | 23 h 24 m | Show | |
My selection is on Tulane plus the points over Memphis at 8 pm et on Friday. I'll grab the generous helping of points with a Tulane squad that has gone 5-2 ATS so far this season. Memphis checks in 6-1 SU but just 3-3-1 ATS. Keep in mind, the Tigers have topped out at 41 points against much weaker Tulane teams in the last five meetings in this series. If they don't eclipse that number here, I believe they'll have a very difficult time covering the double-digit spread. Tulane has to be encouraged by last week's narrow 34-28 home loss against a good South Florida squad. Remember, this is a Green Wave team that has put up 62 points in a game against Tulsa earlier this season. This has the makings of an entertaining Friday night affair. Take Tulane (10*). |
|||||||
10-25-17 | Spurs v. Heat +4 | 117-100 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
My selection is on Miami plus the points over San Antonio at 8 pm et on Wednesday. The Spurs remain undefeated on the season but I like the upstart Heat to give them a run in South Beach on Wednesday night. Miami has reeled off two straight wins since opening the campaign with a loss in Orlando. Even in that losing effort, the Heat still put up 109 points. They’ve scored at least 104 points in all three games this season and check in a perfect 2-0 here at home. The Spurs will obviously be looking to slow things down but I’m not sure how successful they’ll be. They manhandled the Bulls in their lone previous road game, delivering an 87-77 victory. They’ve yet to allow more than 99 points in a game this season but I believe that changes on Wednesday, helping the Heat stay inside the number. Take Miami (10*). |
|||||||
10-23-17 | 76ers v. Pistons -3.5 | 97-86 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 17 m | Show | |
My selection is on Detroit minus the points over Philadelphia at 7:05 pm et on Monday. Philadelphia stunned Detroit in the first meeting between these two teams last season, rolling to a 97-79 victory on this floor in December. However, it was all Pistons in the next two meetings and I'm expecting a similar story to unfold on Monday night. We won with the 76ers in their season opener in Washington. Credit the young 76ers for sticking around in that one but since then they've suffered double-digit losses against the Celtics and Raptors. I just don't see Philadelphia picking itself up off the mat in this spot. Take Detroit (10*). |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Broncos -1 v. Chargers | 0-21 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 12 m | Show | |
My selection is on Denver over Los Angeles at 4:25 pm et on Sunday. We won with the Chargers last week as they pulled off the outright upset in Oakland but I won’t hesitate to switch gears and back the Broncos as they find themselves in their own bounce-back spot off an ugly home loss to the Giants last week. Of course, Denver has already defeated Los Angeles once this season, brushing the Chargers aside despite a late comeback in Week 1. I’m not sold on the Chargers, in spite of the fact they’re coming off back-to-back wins. While their defense has held up fairly well from day one, their offense has only looked good in short bursts. Here, they’ll be up against an elite Broncos defense that should be extremely motivated after getting lit up by a pedestrian Giants offense last Sunday night. The oddsmakers have this game pegged as a toss-up. I simply feel that only one of these teams is a true contender in the AFC West, and that’s the Broncos. This is a win they need and I’m confident they’ll get it. Take Denver (10*). |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Cowboys -6 v. 49ers | 40-10 | Win | 100 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
My selection is on Dallas minus the points over San Francisco at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. The Cowboys are reeling off back-to-back losses against the Rams and Packers, both they get an excellent get right matchup in San Francisco on Sunday, against a winless 49ers squad that has to be extremely frustrated on the heels of so many close losses. Each of San Francisco’s last five losses have come by three points or less. Now the 49ers return home to face a highly-motivated Cowboys team that many had pegged as a Super Bowl contender entering the season. It’s still far too early for the Cowboys to push the panic button. I believe the bye week came at the right time for Jason Garret’s squad and fully expect them to put forth a much sharper performance than we saw in high-scoring losses to the Rams and Packers. We’re being asked to lay a considerable number on the road, but I believe it’s warranted. Take Dallas (10*). |
|||||||
10-22-17 | Saints v. Packers +4.5 | Top | 26-17 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 2 m | Show |
NFL Underdog Game of the Week. My selection is on Green Bay plus the points over New Orleans at 1 pm et on Sunday. Perfect situation sets up here as everyone was so impressed by the Saints in their 52-38 beatdown of the Lions last Sunday while the Packers suffered a serious blow to their season, losing QB Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone. As a result, the Saints roll into Lambeau Field as considerable favorites on Sunday afternoon. I’m not sure the betting marketplace has got it right in this particular case. The Saints are a young team on the defensive side of the football, and while they have come into their own, they might be a little overconfident as they prepare to face the Packers inexperienced starting QB in Brett Hundley. Green Bay is a talented, well-coached football team, and one that owns a unique and strong home field advantage. Even without Rodgers, I’m willing to take a shot with the Packers for at least one game. Take Green Bay (10*). |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Costal Carolina v. Appalachian State -23.5 | Top | 29-37 | Loss | -102 | 18 h 48 m | Show |
CFB Blowout Game of the Week. My selection is on Appalachian State minus the points over Coastal Carolina at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. I’ll lay the points with Appalachian State as it aims for its third consecutive victory on Saturday afternoon. The Mountaineers survived a trip to Idaho to defeat the Vandals by a less than impressive 23-20 score last Saturday. Keep in mind, just two weeks ago, Appalachian State put 45 points on the board in a two-touchdown win over New Mexico State. The Mountaineers have the opportunity to really build some momentum here before they hit the road for back-to-back games against UMass and Louisiana-Monroe, and I expect them to do exactly that. Coastal Carolina has just one win on the season, and that came in its season opener at home against UMass. Last week, the Chanticleers were throttled by a 51-17 score at Arkansas State. This is a team that was rolled 52-10 at home against Western Illinois earlier this season. I just don’t see them picking themselves up off the mat in this spot. While we’re dealing with a lofty pointspread here, I do believe it’s warranted. Take Appalachian State (10*). |
|||||||
10-21-17 | Georgia Southern +7.5 v. UMass | 20-55 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 47 m | Show | |
My selection is on Georgia Southern plus the points over UMass at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. We’ll go ahead and fade UMass again on Saturday as it finds itself as a home favorite against winless Georgia Southern. While Georgia Southern does check in with an ugly 0-5 record, it hasn’t exactly faced a breeze of a schedule. I’m not even sure the Eagles have had a winnable game to this point, but this one does fall into that category in my opinion. Note that just last week, Georgia Southern actually led New Mexico State by a 27-21 score entering the fourth quarter before allowing two unanswered touchdowns. I do believe that narrow loss will serve to give them some confidence here, keeping in mind UMass has also yet to notch a victory this season, going 0-6. The Minutemen have been idle since September 30th which I don’t see as a positive given they put 50 points on the board in a losing effort on that day. UMass has been competitive in all of its six games this season but hasn’t been able to come up with the big plays in crunch time. I believe the oddsmakers are asking a lot for them to cover a touchdown spread here. Expect another tightly-contested affair. Take Georgia Southern (10*). |
|||||||
10-20-17 | Cavs v. Bucks +2 | 116-97 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 8 m | Show | |
My selection is on Milwaukee plus the points over Cleveland at 7:05 pm et on Friday. We won fading the Cavs in their home opener against Boston as the Celtics rallied and nearly staged the outright upset despite the devastating injury to Gordon Hayward. I see fit to fade the Cavs again on Friday night as they hit the road for perhaps an even tougher matchup against the upstart Bucks. Milwaukee opened its season with a win over the Celtics as well. The Bucks took the first meeting with the Cavs last season but went on to lose the next three. Motivation will certainly be on Milwaukee's side here as most have the Cavs pegged a shoe-in to win the Eastern Conference after the Celtics lost Hayward. I'm not ready to crown Cleveland just yet. I still feel the Cavs are an overvalued commodity in the early going this season. Take Milwaukee (10*). |
|||||||
10-18-17 | 76ers +7 v. Wizards | 115-120 | Win | 100 | 23 h 37 m | Show | |
My selection is on Philadelphia plus the points over Washington at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll take a flyer with the lowly 76ers as they open their campaign in Washington on Wednesday night. The 76ers are obviously brimming with young talent thanks to all the early draft picks in recent years. The fact is, they have a low floor and a high ceiling entering the season. I'm of the belief that we'll see them come out of the gates with a 'nothing to lose' mentality and I see this as a favorable matchup to open with. The Wizards are a little top-heavy in my opinion. They've got star power and appear ready to take a step forward in the Eastern Conference but I don't love their depth, or lack thereof. This is a team that has had a knack for getting involved in tightly-contested affairs in recent years and I'm counting on another one on opening night. Take Philadelphia (10*). |
|||||||
10-17-17 | Celtics +3.5 v. Cavs | 99-102 | Win | 100 | 24 h 57 m | Show | |
My selection is on Boston plus the points over Cleveland at 8:05 pm et on Tuesday. It's time for a changing of the guard in the Eastern Conference. While one game doesn't make a season, I'm confident we'll see the Celtics make a big statement in Cleveland on Tuesday night. The Cavs won't be able to benefit from the Kyrie Irving trade until later in the season as Isaiah Thomas remains sidelined. Yes, Cleveland added Dwyane Wade but I'm not anticipating him to make a big splash with his good buddy Lebron James. The Cavs are still going to be a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. They should be able to finish top three in their sleep. With that being said, the Celtics are the real deal and they have more to gain in this contest. I'll grab the points in a game the C's are capable of winning outright. Take Boston (10*). |
|||||||
10-15-17 | Chargers +4 v. Raiders | 17-16 | Win | 100 | 28 h 57 m | Show | |
My selection is on Los Angeles plus the points over Oakland at 4:25 pm et on Sunday. I simply feel it's going to be tough for the Raiders to get rolling again from a standing position on Sunday afternoon against the rival Chargers. L.A. has taken positive strides in the last two weeks, falling by just two points against the Eagles before defeating the Giants on the road. Oakland has lost three games in a row, scoring just 37 points in the process. The Raiders are expected to get QB Derek Carr back this week but how effective will he be after missing time? The Chargers defense has actually held its own this season, allowing 26 points or less in all five games. Meanwhile, the Raiders were torched for 30 points against the Ravens just last Sunday. This has been a tightly-contested series in recent years, and I'm comfortable grabbing the points again in this spot. Take Los Angeles (10*). |
|||||||
10-15-17 | Bears v. Ravens -6 | Top | 27-24 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 25 m | Show |
My selection is on Baltimore minus the points over Chicago at 1 pm et on Sunday. More than anything else, I like the coaching edge the Ravens have in this matchup with John Harbaugh going up against John Fox. As far as I'm concerned, Fox is a sitting duck in Chicago, with the Bears continuing to struggle. They had a few things going for them early in the season, including RB Tarik Cohen, who looked like a breakout star. However, teams have held him in check in recent weeks, leaving the Bears offense without many weapons to turn to. QB Mitchell Trubisky gave them a bit of a spark on Monday night against Minnesota, but it's not sustainable as far as I'm concerned. The Ravens defense has come back around this season and is playing some of its best football in years in spite of that ugly showing three weeks ago in London. As long as the Ravens offense can at least be competent in this matchup, Baltimore should have little trouble brushing aside the lowly Bears. Take Baltimore (10*). |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Nevada +24.5 v. Colorado State | Top | 42-44 | Win | 100 | 26 h 16 m | Show |
CFB Mountain West Game of the Year. My selection is on Nevada plus the points over Colorado State at 10:15 pm et on Saturday. I'll grab the generous helping of points with Nevada as it travels to Colorado Springs to face the Rams on Saturday night. Nevada is slowly working its way back to respectability in the Mountain West. After starting the campaign with five straight losses, the Wolf Pack responded with a big two-touchdown win over Hawaii last week. Nevada has been pegged as the underdog in all but one of its six games this year so the situation it faces on Saturday is nothing new. Colorado State has impressed so far, going 4-2, although we actually cashed a ticket fading the Rams in their ugly 17-3 loss to rival Colorado. Coming off back-to-back double-digit road wins over Hawaii and Utah State, it's no surprise the Rams are laying a big number here. I'm just not sure the steep line is warranted as the Wolf Pack offense begins to find its identity. You would have to go back seven years to find the last time we saw a true blowout in this series, and that was in favor of Nevada. Take Nevada (10*). |
|||||||
10-14-17 | Baylor +26 v. Oklahoma State | 16-59 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 15 m | Show | |
My selection is on Baylor plus the points over Oklahoma State at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. Everyone jumped off the Baylor bandwagon early in the campaign as the Bears dropped their first two games against the likes of Liberty and Texas-San Antonio, albeit by close margins. Since then, the Bears have continued to pile up losses, but have at least played better, staying competitive against Duke, Oklahoma and Kansas State. Baylor has controlled this particular series, having taken the last three meetings. Of course, the Bears are a different team this year and Oklahoma State is seen as a major force in the Big 12 having posted a 4-1 record, but just 1-1 against conference opponents. I just don't see the Cowboys running away and hiding in this one. The Bears are playing with a little more confidence right now and are certainly hungry for their first victory of the season. While I'm not going to call for the outright upset, I do think Baylor can be a thorn in Oklahoma State's side on Saturday afternoon. Take Baylor (10*). |
|||||||
10-12-17 | Eagles v. Panthers -3 | 28-23 | Loss | -125 | 24 h 46 m | Show | |
My selection is on Carolina minus the points over Philadelphia at 8:25 pm et on Thursday. I'll lay the points with the Panthers in this spot. Carolina was embarrassed the last time we saw it play on this field, dropping a blowout decision at the hands of the division rival Saints. Here, I anticipate a much better showing from the Panthers as they aim for their third straight victory. The Eagles are rolling along nicely right now, winners of three games in a row. They weren't challenged in last week's rout of the struggling Cardinals at home but they'll face a much tougher test here. I see this as the game where the Eagles really missing RB Darren Sproles. While Philadelphia has complimented QB Carson Wentz with more weapons this year, I'm not sure we'll see Wentz reach the heights he has over the last couple of weeks. I'll call for the Panthers to turn in their most complete effort of the season to date. Take Carolina (10*). |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Ravens +3 v. Raiders | Top | 30-17 | Win | 100 | 20 h 53 m | Show |
NFL Underdog Game of the Month. My selection is on Baltimore plus the points over Oakland at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll back the Ravens in an underdog role as they come off back-to-back no-shows and hit the road to face the reeling Raiders in Oakland. Many considered the Raiders to be a Super Bowl contender prior to the start of the season but that was with a healthy Derek Carr under center. With Carr sidelined and the Raiders ground game struggling, I'm not sure they're deserving of the favorite role on Sunday afternoon. I like the coaching edge the Ravens have in this contest with John Harbaugh matching x's and o's with Jake Del Rio. If there ever were a spot for the Ravens to prove their worth on both sides of the football, this is it. I'm not sold on the Raiders winning with E.J. Manuel at quarterback. Their defense can only carry them so far. I like the Ravens in a grinder on Sunday afternoon. Take Baltimore (10*). |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Bills v. Bengals -3 | Top | 16-20 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show |
NFL AFC Game of the Year. My selection is on Cincinnati minus the points over Buffalo at 1 pm et on Sunday. I'll lay the points with the Bengals as they host the surprising 3-1 Bills on Sunday afternoon. I expect Buffalo's lead atop the AFC East to be short-lived. The Bills caught a favorable spot against the Broncos two weeks ago at home, and managed to stage an upset win. Last week's victory came as more of a shock, however, as they went into Atlanta and beat the defending NFC champions. While they have all the momentum in the world heading into this one, I expect to see them fall flat against the Bengals. Cincinnati earned its first victory of the young season last week in Cleveland. They can't be satisfied after that blowout win, however. Cincinnati does own a solid home field advantage and its been years since it last opened the campaign with three consecutive losses at home. The pressure is on in some sense but it's not as if anyone is running away with the AFC North. The road team has won in this matchup in each of the last two seasons. This time around, it's the Bengals that have revenge on their minds as they suffered a 16-12 home defeat against the Bills last year. Take Cincinnati (10*). |
|||||||
10-08-17 | Jets v. Browns +1 | 17-14 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 51 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cleveland plus the points over New York at 1 pm et on Sunday. The line has flipped in this one but I don't believe the move is warranted. The Browns are coming off an ugly blowout loss at home against Cincinnati last Sunday but I'm confident they'll bounce back against the Jets this week. I had Cleveland pegged as a surprise team at the start of the season but it certainly hasn't played out that way as it remains winless. I still see potential in the Browns, however, and QB DeShone Kizer in particular. Meanwhile, the Jets are who we thought they were. Yes, they're off to a respectable 2-2 start but I don't believe they're a quality football team. Here, I expect them to fall back to earth as they hit the road for the first time in three games. The Jets got past the Browns by a field goal here in Cleveland last season. The shoe is on the other foot this time around. Take Cleveland (10*). |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Michigan State +10.5 v. Michigan | Top | 14-10 | Win | 100 | 30 h 37 m | Show |
CFB TV Game of the Week. My selection is on Michigan State plus the points over Michigan at 7:30 pm et on Saturday. A big matchup in the Big Ten awaits at the Big House on Saturday night with the Wolverines installed as considerable favorites against the rival Spartans. I simply feel the line is too high as Sparty will be highly motivated to take down still undefeated Big Blue. Michigan has gone largely untested since opening the season with a rout of Florida. As for Michigan State it picked itself up off the mat following an ugly 38-18 home loss to Notre Dame, slipping past Iowa by a 17-10 score last Saturday. That win certainly didn’t win over many doubters but a victory here would. A tough schedule lies ahead for Michigan State this month with three of four games coming on the road. Look for it to at the very least get October off to a positive start by hanging tough against the Wolverines on Saturday. Take Michigan State (10*). |
|||||||
10-07-17 | West Virginia v. TCU -13 | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -107 | 25 h 27 m | Show |
CFB Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on TCU minus the points over West Virginia at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. West Virginia is off to a solid 3-1 start this season but who have the Mountaineers really beat? Their latest victory came on the road against Kansas two weeks ago. In their lone step up game, the Mountaineers fell short by a 31-24 score on the road against Virginia Tech. Meanwhile, TCU is a legitimate top 10 team in the nation, off to a perfect 4-0 start and essentially announcing its arrival in a 44-31 road win over Oklahoma State two weeks ago (we won with the Horned Frogs in that game). This is a bit of a tough spot with a trip to Manhattan to face Kansas State on deck next Saturday but I believe TCU will be up to the challenge. We’re being asked to lay a considerable number of points considering these are two nationally ranked squads, but I believe the number could be even higher. Take TCU (10*). |

10-05-17 | Patriots v. Bucs +6 | 19-14 | Win | 100 | 25 h 35 m | Show | |
My selection is on Tampa Bay plus the points over New England at 8:25 pm et on Thursday. The Patriots are generally a good bet coming off a loss. We won with New England following its home opening loss to the Chiefs, as it rolled past New Orleans the next week. I'm not sure we'll see the same story play out here, however. The Pats defense is struggling, and it's a major problem right now. The Bucs have the type of offense that is capable of taking advantage. While I'm not sure how well the Tampa Bay defense will hold up against a New England offense that is sure to add a few wrinkles, I do believe that unit can do enough to keep the Bucs in the game. These two teams haven't met since the 2013 season, and there's no question a lot has changed on the Bucs side of the equation. New England has issues that aren't likely to get sorted out in four days. I like the Bucs to be a thorn in the Pats side on Thursday night. Take Tampa Bay (10*). |

10-02-17 | Redskins +7 v. Chiefs | 20-29 | Loss | -109 | 24 h 28 m | Show | |
My selection is on Washington plus the points over Kansas City at 8:30 pm et on Monday. I'll grab the points with the Redskins as they try to hand the Chiefs their first loss of the season on Monday Night Football. Washington couldn't have looked much better in last week's primetime win over the Raiders. I came away more impressed by the Redskins' defense than anything else in that victory. I certainly expect that defense to play with a chip on its shoulder here as all we've been hearing about all week is how explosive the Chiefs offense has suddenly become. I'm not convinced Kansas City's offensive prowess is sustainable. Remember, a the start of the season a lot of folks were wondering whether Alex Smith was the right man for the job under center. There's some pressure on the Chiefs now as the league's last remaining undefeated team. I expect the Redskins to keep this one within arm's reach for four quarters. Take Washington (10*). |

10-01-17 | Eagles v. Chargers -1 | Top | 26-24 | Loss | -115 | 50 h 25 m | Show |
NFL Non-Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Los Angeles minus the points over Philadelphia at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. I'm not quite as high on the Eagles as some in the early going this season. Yes, they're off to a promising 2-1 start but they almost blew it against a struggling Giants squad last Sunday and they're already dealing with a number of key injuries. The Chargers desperately need a win to at least gain something from their three-game homestand, in their new home no less. Los Angeles did outgain the Chiefs in last week's two-touchdown loss and remember its first two losses this season came by a combined five points. I look for the Chargers to finally get their ground game going against a vulnerable Eagles defense. On the flip side, the L.A. defense is better than it has showed, and I see this as a favorable matchup. Eagles QB Carson Wentz has been rolling, but he faces some resistance here. Take Los Angeles (10*). |

10-01-17 | Giants +3 v. Bucs | 23-25 | Win | 100 | 50 h 11 m | Show | |
My selection is on New York plus the points over Tampa Bay at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. I'll grab the points with the Giants as they try to earn their first win of the season on Sunday afternoon. Last week we saw the Giants offense finally wake up in the fourth quarter of a tough last second loss in Philadelphia. I do believe the G-Men have a lot to build on following that spirited contest. New York's defense is better than it showed in that loss and I'm confident we'll see a bounce-back in that regard against the Bucs. Tampa Bay got bullied in an ugly road loss in Minnesota last Sunday. The Bucs offense does concern me and should certainly concern the Giants. However, they still haven't sorted out their ground game and until they become multi-dimensional, I'm not sure their aerial attack can really take off. This is certainly a must-win game for the Giants. Maybe they're too dejected to pick themselves up off the mat, but this has always been a proud franchise, and I don't believe we'll see them go down without a fight this season. Take New York (10*). |

09-30-17 | UTEP v. Army -23 | 21-35 | Loss | -109 | 26 h 21 m | Show | |
My selection is on Army minus the points over UTEP at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. We missed the mark with Army, by a single point, in last week’s disappointing loss at Tulane, but I fully expect to see the Black Knights respond with a big effort in a very winnable home game against UTEP this Saturday. The Miners are one of the weakest teams in FBS, entering this one on the heels of four consecutive losses to open the season, outscored by a 191-51 margin. I don’t expect them to fare much better against Army’s option attack. This is a key spot for the Black Knights to stop the bleeding on the heels of two straight losses, both on the road. We haven’t seen glimpses of the team that scored 64 points despite not completing a single pass back in its season opener. However, this is a very favorable matchup for that Army offense that will be eager to get rolling again after struggling to find the end zone in the last two weeks. It wasn’t for lack of trying last Saturday at Tulane, as the Black Knights rolled up 371 rush yards. This time around, I’m confident we’ll see Army finish more drives with seven points on the board and ultimately pull away from a hapless UTEP squad. Take Army (10*). |

09-30-17 | Georgia v. Tennessee +8 | Top | 41-0 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 19 m | Show |
CFB SEC Game of the Month. My selection is on Tennessee plus the points over Georgia at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. We’ve won with Georgia in two of the last three weeks but I won’t hesitate to switch gears and fade the Bulldogs as they hit the road as a favorite in Tennessee on Saturday afternoon. The Bulldogs faced zero resistance against Mississippi State last Saturday. That won’t be the case here as the Volunteers will be high on motivation after losing in last-second fashion in Florida two weeks ago and then barely getting past UMass in an ugly affair last week. I’m still not sure we’ve seen the Vols best effort this season but this is as good a spot as any for them to put their best foot forward, so to speak. With a home game against South Carolina on deck next week, the Vols have a chance to go on a bit of a run before a likely loss on the road against Alabama. Georgia has a similar path ahead of it should it be able to secure a victory here. Noting that Tennessee took last year’s meeting by a 34-31 score, I don’t expect a win to come easy for the Bulldogs in this spot. I’ll grab the points in what should be a tightly-contested affair. Take Tennessee (10*). |

09-25-17 | Cowboys -2.5 v. Cardinals | 28-17 | Win | 100 | 26 h 42 m | Show | |
My selection is on Dallas minus the points over Arizona at 8:30 pm et on Monday. Many believe the Broncos laid out the blueprint for beating the Cowboys last Sunday as they loaded up the box and forced Dak Prescott to beat them, which he didn't do. Even if the Cardinals employ a similar gameplan here, I'm not sure they'll get similar results. Look for a much better performance from Prescott this week. The same goes for Ezekiel Elliott, and perhaps more importantly the Cowboys defense, which got shredded by a pedestrian Broncos offense. The Cardinals are fortunate to be 1-1 after outlasting the Colts in overtime last week. I wasn't high on this team at the start of the season (we successfully faded them backing the Lions in Week 1) and I'm certainly not high on them now with their best offensive player, RB David Johnson, sidelined. There's no denying Arizona has a terrific defense. I'm just not convinced it will be enough against a highly-motivated Cowboys squad on Monday night. Take Dallas (10*). |
|||||||
09-24-17 | Raiders -3 v. Redskins | Top | 10-27 | Loss | -103 | 24 h 56 m | Show |
NFL Sunday Night Game of the Month. My selection is on Oakland minus the points over Washington at 8:30 pm et on Sunday. I’ll lay the points with the Raiders in Washington on Sunday night. Perhaps no team was more hyped leading up to the start of the season than the Oakland Raiders. So far, so good as they’re off to a perfect 2-0 start with convincing wins over the Titans and Jets. I like the fact that the Redskins are coming off a road win on the west coast last week as that helps support them as a small underdog in this spot. I simply don’t see this as a favorable matchup for a team that has plenty of flaws. Note that in last week’s victory over the Rams, QB Kirk Cousins threw for only 179 yards and a touchdown. The Redskins ground game ran wild, but that was against the Rams. Here, they’ll face a tougher challenge against a Raiders defense that limited Titans running backs to just 69 yards on 18 rushes two weeks ago (last week’s game against the Jets wasn’t a good comparison). Also note that Redskins RB Rob Kelley was forced to leave last week’s game due to injury. Washington hasn’t had much of a home field advantage in recent years and while the Raiders will get tripped up at some point, I don’t expect to see it happen here. Take Oakland (10*). |

09-24-17 | Seahawks +3 v. Titans | 27-33 | Loss | -125 | 19 h 52 m | Show | |
My selection is on Seattle plus the points over Tennessee at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. We won with the Titans last week in Jacksonville but I won't hesitate to switch gears as they host the Seahawks on Sunday afternoon. In Week 1, when we backed the Raiders minus the points here in Tennessee I made the point that I didn't believe the Titans were deserving of all the hype. Yes, they play in a watered down AFC South division so there's a good chance they reach the playoffs, but that's where it ends. Here, they'll be up against a highly-motivated Seahawks squad coming off back-to-back less than impressive games to open the campaign. I simply feel that Seattle is more comfortable regardless of the way this one unfolds. The Titans would probably like to turn it into a high-scoring affair, feeling they have the edge on offense, but I'm not convinced it plays out that way on the field. It won't be easy, but I'm confident the Seahawks stay inside the number at the very least and more than likely win outright. Take Seattle (10*). |

09-24-17 | Saints v. Panthers -5.5 | Top | 34-13 | Loss | -107 | 17 h 34 m | Show |
NFC South Game of the Month. My selection is on Carolina minus the points over New Orleans at 1 pm et on Sunday. The Panthers didn’t do their backers any favors last week as they escaped with an ugly home win over the Bills. Despite losing TE Greg Olsen to injury in that game, I expect them to turn in a much sharper performance this Sunday as they draw a favorable matchup against a struggling Saints defense. We’ve cashed tickets fading the Saints in each of the last two weeks, noting that the potential is there for them to be one of the league’s weakest teams this season. The offense is still good, but certainly not great. And here New Orleans will run into a Panthers defense that has feasted on the 49ers and Bills over the last two weeks. Yes, Carolina will be taking a step up in class against Drew Brees and company this week, but perhaps not as significant of one as most believe. Last week’s result may have spooked the betting marketplace when it comes to the Panthers. I’m confident we see them respond favorably here. Take Carolina (10*). |
|||||||
09-24-17 | Broncos -3 v. Bills | 16-26 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
My selection is on Denver minus the points over Buffalo at 1 pm et on Sunday. The Bills are 1-0 at home, but that victory came against the lowly Jets. The Broncos resume is far more impressive as they've reeled off back-to-back home wins over the Chargers and Cowboys. While hitting the road and heading East isn't easy, I expect them to be up to the challenge. Denver is playing with a lot of energy on both sides of the football right now. This is a team that seems to be rejuvenated under the guidance of first year head coach Vance Joseph. As for the Bills, they hung tough against the Panthers last Sunday but that had little to do with their own play and more thanks to the Panthers disjointed start to the season. Things get tougher in this spot and I don't believe the Bills can stick around for four quarters. Take Denver (10*). |
|||||||
09-23-17 | UTSA -13 v. Texas State | 44-14 | Win | 100 | 23 h 2 m | Show | |
My selection is on Texas-San Antonio minus the points over Texas State at 7:30 pm et on Saturday. We missed the mark fading Texas State last week as Appalachian State didn’t hold up its end of the bargain, but still managed to rally for a SU victory. I am willing to go back to the well this week as we’re being asked to lay a lower number with a UTSA squad that is off to a solid start to the season. Since having their opener cancelled against Houston, the Roadrunners have delivered back-to-back wins over Baylor and Southern, giving up only 27 points while putting up 68 points themselves. I’m not sure Texas State will offer much resistance at all on Saturday. The Bobcats won only two games last season, and while they do have one victory in their back pocket already this year, that came against Houston Baptist. I certainly haven’t come away impressed by losses to Colorado and aforementioned Appalachian State. Through two games, the Bobcats have scored only 16 points and I’m not sure things get much easier in this spot. Take UTSA (10*). |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Mississippi State v. Georgia -4 | 3-31 | Win | 100 | 23 h 52 m | Show | |
My selection is on Georgia minus the points over Mississippi State at 7 pm et on Saturday. Mississippi State shocked everyone by easily brushing aside LSU 37-7 last Saturday but I believe that leaves the Bulldogs overvalued as they head to Athens to face the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday evening. Last week’s contest against LSU was really Mississippi State’s first measuring stick game of the season and the Bulldogs passed that test with flying colors. I’m just not sure they can replicate that performance on the road against Georgia this week. The ‘Dawgs didn’t suffer any sort of letdown following their thrilling road win over Notre Dame, delivering a 42-14 victory at home against Samford last Saturday. That was the perfect tune-up for this showdown with Mississippi State as far as I’m concerned. Both of these teams are going to be a factor in the SEC title chase this season, but on this week, I expect Georgia to prove to be the better team. Take Georgia (10*). |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Syracuse v. LSU -21 | 26-35 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 44 m | Show | |
My selection is on LSU minus the points over Syracuse at 7 pm et on Saturday. There’s no question LSU is a better team than it showed in last week’s blowout loss on the road against Mississippi State. Getting back home to face a beatable opponent should serve the Tigers well this week. Perhaps it wasn’t ideal that the Tigers weren’t tested in their first two games this season, easily cruising past BYU and Chattanooga. I do feel that last week’s embarrassment should serve as the wake-up call this team needs. With home games against Syracuse and Troy ahead before traveling to face Florida on October 7th, the Tigers have an excellent opportunity to ‘get right’. Syracuse is off to an up and down start to the campaign, alternating wins and losses against Central Connecticut State, Middle Tennessee and Central Michigan – all at home. This certainly isn’t an ideal first road trip of the season and I don’t believe the Orange will be able to keep within arm’s reach for four quarters. Take LSU (10*). |
|||||||
09-23-17 | TCU +14 v. Oklahoma State | 44-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
My selection is on TCU plus the points over Oklahoma State at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. Oklahoma State has come storming out of the gates, posting three consecutive wins in blowout fashion. Not the Cowboys face their first ranked opponent of the young season and I believe they’re going to be in for a game. TCU has a chance to go on a real run with West Virginia (home), Kansas State (road) and Kansas (home) on deck. I do like the fact that the Horned Frogs faced a bit of a test against SMU last Saturday, giving away 22 first half points before settling down and putting the game away in the fourth quarter of a wild 56-36 victory. I expect TCU to be much sharper defensively last week, as they’ll have to be against an explosive Cowboys offense. Meanwhile, the Horned Frogs have a good enough offense to stick around in this one. We’re being given a generous helping of points in a game that could go down to the wire. Take TCU (10*). |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Wake Forest v. Appalachian State +6 | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 19 h 21 m | Show | |
CFB Non-Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on Appalachian State plus the points over Wake Forest at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. We missed the mark with Appalachian State last week as the Mountaineers turned in a sloppy performance on the road against Texas State – a game they did manage to win SU nonetheless. I’m confident we’ll see the Mountaineers bounce back at home this Saturday and it won’t be difficult to get up for a matchup with a still-undefeated Wake Forest squad. I’m not going to get too excited by the Demon Deacons’ 3-0 start. Their wins have come at home against Presbyterian and Utah State and on the road against Boston College. Wake has allowed just 27 points through three games but again, that has had a lot to do with the weak schedule it has faced. Here, the Demon Deacons will face a better Mountaineers offense than we saw last week. Appalachian State is battle-tested having opened its campaign on the road against Georgia. Since getting outscored 31-0 in the first three quarters of that game, the Mountaineers have outscored the opposition 84-20. Take Appalachian State (10*). |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Boston College +34.5 v. Clemson | 7-34 | Win | 100 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
My selection is on Boston College plus the points over Clemson at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. I’ll grab the generous helping of points with Boston College as it travels to Death Valley to face the Clemson Tigers on Saturday afternoon. Of course, Clemson is fresh off an impressive beatdown of Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson and Louisville, on the road no less. Now comes the potential letdown. Keep in mind, the Tigers will hit the road again next week, as they head to Blacksburg for a big showdown with Virginia Tech. They’ll simply be looking to pick up a ‘W’ and move on against Boston College on Saturday. The Eagles weren’t competitive in a 49-20 home loss to Notre Dame last week. That came on the heels of an ugly 34-10 home loss against Wake Forest the week previous. I do expect to see the Eagles play with some pride and maybe a little sandpaper in this spot. We did see that this offense is capable of moving the football last Saturday as the Eagles put points on the board in all four quarters against the Irish. They keep this one a little closer than expected on Saturday afternoon. Take Boston College (10*). |
|||||||
09-23-17 | Army +3 v. Tulane | 17-21 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 45 m | Show | |
My selection is on Army plus the points over Tulane at 12 noon et on Saturday. Army shouldn’t be too down on itself after last week’s loss at the hands of the Buckeyes in Columbus. The Black Knights fell by 31 points but certainly didn’t get embarrassed. Here, they get a nice bounce-back matchup with Tulane, albeit on the road once again. The Green Wave got off to a strong start this season, crushing Grambling before hanging tough in an eventual 23-21 loss road loss to Navy, but proceeded to get their clocks cleaned by Oklahoma last Saturday, falling by 42 points. I just don’t see a lot of upside on this Tulane squad and don’t believe they should be laying points against a hungry Army team. Look for the Black Knights ground attack to prove too much for the Green Wave as Army ultimately puts this one away late. Take Army (10*). |
|||||||
09-22-17 | Utah -3.5 v. Arizona | 30-24 | Win | 100 | 25 h 25 m | Show | |
My selection is on Utah minus the points over Arizona at 10:30 pm et on Friday. I'll lay the points with the Utes as they open Pac-12 play against the Wildcats in Tucson. Arizona will be looking for its third ATS win of the season. Note that the Wildcats managed only two ATS victories all of last year. I don't believe this team has improved all that much - don't be fooled by blowout wins over weak Northern Arizona and Texas El Paso squads. The Wildcats were actually outgained by Northern Arizona in their season opener. On the flip side, Utah is off to a perfect 3-0 start, both SU and ATS, and it has absolutely dominated the opposition, outgaining opponents by 261, 197 and 238 total yards. Utah snapped a four-game losing streak in this series last season, winning by 13 points. The betting marketplace is a little hesitant to install the Utes as a considerable favorite here, but I believe the line could be much higher. Take Utah (10*). |
|||||||
09-21-17 | Rams -2.5 v. 49ers | 41-39 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 1 m | Show | |
My selection is on Los Angeles minus the points over San Francisco at 8:25 pm et on Thursday. This is another in a long line of ugly Thursday Night Football matchups but that doesn't mean there isn't money to be made. The Rams have been installed as rare road favorites in this one but I believe the line is warranted. Los Angeles is off to an even 1-1 start after opening with back-to-back home games. There's really no shame in that, even though the Rams failed to win in a favorite role against Washington last week. I simply feel the Rams have a lot more upside on both sides of the football than the 49ers do at this stage of the season. We actually won with the 49ers plus the points in Seattle last week. San Francisco's defense held up well in that game, but keep in mind, it was up against a Seahawks squad that is still figuring things out offensively. Much was made of RB Carlos Hyde running for over 100 yards, but consider that 60+ of those yards came on one run. While it's tough to envision the Rams posting a winning record through three games, it's also easy to forget that they opened last season 3-1, including road wins in Tampa Bay and Arizona. The Rams did drop both matchups against the 49ers but that should only serve to give them extra motivation here. Take Los Angeles (10*). |
|||||||
09-18-17 | Lions +3 v. Giants | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 24 h 5 m | Show | |
My selection is on Detroit plus the points over New York at 8:30 pm et on Monday. I felt the Lions were an undervalued commodity entering the season - that's why I chose to back them at home against the Cardinals last Sunday. I won't hesitate to get behind them again this week as Detroit heads to New Jersey to face the Giants. Will the Giants offense be fixed? I'm not so sure. Even if Odell Beckham Jr. is able to return I'm not convinced they'll be able to put points the board with any sort of consistency. New York's defense is good, but perhaps not good enough to carry the entire load. Meanwhile, the Lions aren't exactly accustomed to playing in the primetime spotlight, but here and now I believe they're the better team. The line doesn't indicate the same. Take Detroit (10*). |
|||||||
09-17-17 | Cowboys -2 v. Broncos | 17-42 | Loss | -115 | 44 h 37 m | Show | |
My selection is on Dallas minus the points over Denver at 4:25 pm et on Sunday. We missed the mark fading the Broncos on Monday night as the Chargers late rally fell short but I won’t hesitate to go back to the well and go against Denver again as it steps up in class to face the Cowboys on Sunday. Dallas dominated from start to finish in its season opener against the Giants last Sunday night. With that being said, the offense could certainly perform better this week. Jumping ahead early meant we didn’t see the Cowboys really open things up. They’ll be cautious against an elite Broncos defense this week, but I have more confidence in Dak and Zeke to make the big plays at key points of this game than I do in Denver’s underwhelming offense. I’ll certainly give the Broncos credit for putting 24 points on the board against the Chargers on Monday night, however I think the fact that they were held off the scoreboard in the fourth quarter, when they could have put the game away for good, was telling. Against an elite opponent like the Cowboys, I’m not convinced the Broncos will be able to come up with the big offensive plays they’ll need. While the Cowboys are known for their offense, it’s their defense that impresses me the most. This is still an underrated unit, one that I expect to see make a statement on Sunday afternoon in Denver. Take Dallas (10*). |

09-17-17 | Jets v. Raiders -13 | Top | 20-45 | Win | 100 | 43 h 18 m | Show |
AFC Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Oakland minus the points over New York at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. We’re being asked to lay a steep number with the Raiders on Sunday but I believe the price is warranted. We cashed a ticket with Oakland last week in its season opener in Tennessee. While there’s a chance the Raiders overlook the lowly Jets here, with this being their home opener I don’t see it happening. Oakland certainly appeared to be in midseason form last Sunday, making a pretty good Titans squad look average, on the road no less. Meanwhile, the Jets looked exactly how we thought they would look. They managed only 12 points with their lone touchdown coming on a one-yard Josh McCown touchdown run. That’s not encouraging. Despite attempting 39 passes, McCown threw for only 187 yards to go along with two interceptions. Their top rusher in the game was Bilal Powell, who managed only 22 yards on the ground. Not good. Defensively, the Jets are capable, but they’ll be up against a Raiders offense that still has room for improvement, even after putting 26 points on the board against the Titans last week. Marshawn Lynch shook off some rust, running for 76 yards on 18 carries last Sunday while Derek Carr was an efficient 22-of-32 for 262 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. It should only be a matter of time before the Raiders pull away for good in this one. Take Oakland (10*). |
|||||||
09-17-17 | Titans v. Jaguars | 37-16 | Win | 100 | 40 h 16 m | Show | |
My selection is on Tennessee minus the points over Jacksonville at 1 pm et on Sunday. We cashed a ticket fading the Titans last Sunday afternoon but I’ll switch gears and back them as they travel to face the Jaguars on Sunday. Jacksonville has one of the weakest home field advantages in the NFL, in fact it probably shouldn’t be considered an advantage at all. Yes, the Jags looked good in last week’s rout of the Texans in Houston but perhaps that had more to do with the Texans ineptitude than anything else. RB Leonard Fournette is going to be a force for the Jags for years to come and he showed flashes of that promise last Sunday afternoon. He’ll get his against the Titans as well, but I’m not sure it will be enough to overcome QB Blake Bortles’ ineffectiveness. Defensively, I see these two squads as mirror images of one another. However, motivation lies in the Titans corner following last week’s home loss to the Raiders. They’re behind the eight-ball off to an 0-1 start but can make amends with a big early season divisional win on Sunday, and I expect them to accomplish exactly that. Take Tennessee (10*). |
|||||||
09-17-17 | Patriots -6 v. Saints | 36-20 | Win | 100 | 40 h 14 m | Show | |
My selection is on New England minus the points over New Orleans at 1 pm et on Sunday. We cashed a ticket fading the Saints on Monday night in Minnesota and I won’t hesitate to go back to the well as they return home to host the Patriots on Sunday afternoon. To put it simply, I don’t believe the Saints are going to be a good team this season. Drew Brees is still an elite NFL quarterback but the talent around him is lacking. I certainly wasn’t impressed by the Saints offensive line on Monday night as Brees was under pressure for most of the game and open lanes were few and far between for New Orleans’ stable of running backs. The fact that Alvin Kamara led the team in rush attempts and earned a share of top spot in terms of rushing yards with 18 said a lot. Defensively, the Saints are relying on a lot of young, inexperienced players in key roles and that doesn’t bode well as they prepare to face a Pats squad that has been idle since last Thursday. New England got off to a roaring start before fading in the second half in an eventual rout at the hands of the Chiefs. Needless to say, they’ll have no shortage of motivation heading into this one. Drew Brees owns a 4-3 edge over Tom Brady in seven career meetings and I don’t need to tell you that will serve to sharpen Brady’s focus here. The Saints have owned a considerable home field advantage over the years, but perhaps not as significant in recent seasons. Here I don’t believe it will be enough. Take New England (10*). |

09-16-17 | Appalachian State -23 v. Texas State | Top | 20-13 | Loss | -110 | 46 h 19 m | Show |
CFB Sun Belt Conference Game of the Year. My selection is on Appalachian State minus the points over Texas State at 7 pm et on Saturday. Both of these teams come into this matchup sporting 1-1 records but I don’t think there’s any question who the better team is. Appalachian State bounced back from a season opening 31-10 road loss against Georgia with a 54-7 rout of Savannah State last week. It was the perfect warm up for this week’s road trip to face a very beatable Texas State squad. In fact, the Mountaineers have a stretch of winnable games ahead of them now. This game can really serve as a jump-off point provided they don’t overlook the Bobcats. Texas State endured a terrible 2016 campaign and after opening the 2017 season with a 20-11 win over Houston Baptist it was back to business as usual in a 37-3 loss at Colorado last week. Perhaps the Bobcats will be better for that lopsided loss against a far stronger opponent, but I’m not sure this is the matchup where they pick themselves up off the mat. Appalachian State scored 45 points in the first half alone against Savannah State last Saturday and I’m confident they’ll pick up right where they left off against Texas State. The Bobcats don’t have a home field advantage to speak of, and while we’re being asked to lay a fairly steep number, I believe it’s warranted. Take Appalachian State (10*). |

09-16-17 | Oregon State v. Washington State -21 | 23-52 | Win | 100 | 45 h 1 m | Show | |
My selection is on Washington State minus the points over Oregon State at 5:30 pm et on Saturday. Washington State is off to a perfect 2-0 start to the season but it was certainly tested last week, as it needed to rally from a three-touchdown fourth quarter deficit to ultimately prevail in triple overtime. We were burned by the marathon nature of that contest as we backed the ‘under’ in that one. Here, I’ll get behind the Cougars, who should put it all together against a very beatable opponent in Oregon State. The Beavers are off to a 1-2 start with their lone victory coming against a still-winless Portland State squad. Not surprisingly, the Beavers have been shredded defensively, giving up a whopping 138 points through just three games. While I do expect them to turn in a better showing in that department this week, I’m not sure they can stay within arm’s length of the Cougars for four quarters with an offense that has sputtered against the better teams it has faced. Meanwhile, Cougars QB Luke Falk will play with a chip on his shoulder after getting benched in the third quarter last week. He’s torched the Beavers throughout his college career. Take Washington State (10*). |

09-15-17 | UMass +14.5 v. Temple | 21-29 | Win | 100 | 46 h 46 m | Show | |
My selection is on UMass plus the points over Temple at 7 pm et on Friday. I'll grab the points with the Minutemen as they head to Philadelphia to face Temple on Friday night. We actually cashed a big ticket fading UMass in last week's 17-7 home loss to Old Dominion. The Minutemen weren't particularly sharp on either side of the football in that contest but I expect them to be better here. This is a team that is capable of putting points on the board in a hurry, even if they didn't show it last week. Against a rebuilding Temple defense, I look for them to bounce back with a strong performance. On the flip side, the Minutemen remain a work in progress defensively. With that being said, I'm confident they can do just enough to keep the Owls within arm's reach for 60 minutes. Note that the last meeting between these two teams back in 2015 was decided by only two points. UMass desperately needs a positive showing off an 0-3 start. I believe this one plays out accordingly. Take UMass (10*). |

09-14-17 | Texans v. Bengals -6.5 | 13-9 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 35 m | Show | |
My selection is on Cincinnati minus the points over Houston at 8:25 pm et on Thursday. We're being asked to lay a pretty steep number given the Bengals didn't score a single point in their home opener against the Ravens last Sunday. However, desperation should play a role this week and I believe the Bengals draw a favorable matchup against the Texans at home. Cincinnati can obviously ill afford to start the season 0-2 at home. The Bengals were caught flat-footed against Baltimore last Sunday but I expect to see considerable improvement here. The Texans are a bit of a mess right now. They were already an afterthought in the AFC South race and last week's performance didn't do anything to change minds. DeShaun Watson will take over under center and make his first career NFL start on Thursday night. I'm not sure we'll see the Texans open up the playbook for the rookie, especially after he struggled to complete passes and committed two turnovers last Sunday afternoon. The SU winner has gone 33-2-1 ATS in all Texans games since the start of the 2015 season. I expect the Bengals to find the win column here, and I'll lay the points as well. Take Cincinnati (10*). |

09-13-17 | Astros v. Angels +1.5 | 1-9 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
My selection is on Los Angeles +1.5 runs over Houston at 10:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll grab the insurance run with the Angels on Wednesday night as they host the Astros. Mike Fiers will take the ball for the Astros. He has lasted six innings or more just once since August 6th and checks into this start having allowed 16 earned runs over his last 9 1/3 innings pitched. Despite pitching for a winning club he has only managed to go 8-9 with an ERA of nearly five. Tyler Skaggs will counter for Los Angeles. He bounced back from a string of three straight bad outings, lasting six innings while giving up three earned runs last time out against the A's. He hasn't pitched at home since August 26th, when he was on the hill for a wild 7-6 win over these same Astros. The Angels are 2-1 when Skaggs takes the ball at home against Houston, scoring a combined 16 runs in those two victories. Take Los Angeles +1.5 (10*). |

09-11-17 | Chargers +3 v. Broncos | 21-24 | Push | 0 | 27 h 15 m | Show | |
My selection is on Los Angeles plus the points over Denver at 10:20 pm et on Monday. It's been a while since the Chargers have tasted success here in Denver - 2013 to be exact - but I believe they have a good shot at "upsetting" the Broncos here. L.A. didn't show much in the preseason. It got caught completely flat-footed in back-to-back home games to open the preseason before turning in a strong showing in its Week 3 'dress rehearsal'. I simply feel that the Chargers have a little more upside than the Broncos as we kick off the 2017 campaign. The Broncos will turn to Trevor Siemian under center again this season after he took the reins and performed reasonably well in the starting role a year ago. But can this offense take a step forward? I'm not so sure. As much as I like the Broncos defense, it is worth noting they'll be missing LB Shane Ray and DE Jared Crick. I don't believe we'll see the Chargers contend for the AFC West title when it's all said and done, but I am confident they can get the Anthony Lynn era off to a promising start on Monday night in Denver. Take Los Angeles (10*). |

09-11-17 | Saints v. Vikings -3 | Top | 19-29 | Win | 100 | 24 h 19 m | Show |
NFL MNF Game of the Month. My selection is on Minnesota minus the points over New Orleans at 7:10 pm et on Monday. I had this line pegged considerably higher than what we're looking at and won't hesitate to back the Vikings in their home opener. Minnesota didn't show much in the preseason, save for late in its primetime showcase against the 49ers in Week 3. However, I saw enough to know that they're capable of taking a step forward after an up and down 2016 campaign. Of course, the Vikes did a lot of good things last season. Most notably, QB Sam Bradford completed more than 71% of his passes while throwing 20 touchdowns and only five interceptions. Now with the addition of rookie RB Dalvin Cook, the offense has the potential to be better. Defensively, this is the year the Vikes young core should really step up. All most saw in the preseason was them getting lit up by a pedestrian 49ers offense, but that was the preseason. The Minnesota 'D' will come to play in the face of a tough challenge against the Saints on Monday night. New Orleans enters this campaign on the heels of a few tough seasons. I'm not sure the Saints have all the pieces in place to turn things around this year. RB Adrian Peterson returning to Minnesota will grab a lot of headlines, but I don't expect him to take over this game by any means. The Saints offense will be good, but I'm not convinced they can stick around for four quarters against a quality defense. Take Minnesota (10*). |

09-10-17 | Falcons -6 v. Bears | 23-17 | Push | 0 | 17 h 8 m | Show | |
My selection is on Atlanta minus the points over Chicago at 1 pm et on Sunday. The Falcons didn’t show much in the preseason but that’s of little consequence. This is a highly-motivated, and more importantly – supremely talented squad that should have little trouble brushing aside the Bears in front of a weary fan base at Soldier Field. Chicago has finally moved on from the Jay Cutler era but is Mike Glennon really a much better option? It’s only a matter of time before Mitchell Trubisky takes over the reins and a poor performance from Glennon here would certainly speed up that process. Outside of RB Jordan Howard I simply don’t see many bright spots for the Bears, and I’m confident they’ll be one of the league’s weakest teams this season. We’re being asked to lay a considerable number of points with a road team given it is Week 1 after all, but I have a tough time envisioning a story unfolding where Chicago keeps pace with Atlanta for four quarters. Take Atlanta (10*). |
|||||||
09-10-17 | Cardinals v. Lions +2.5 | 23-35 | Win | 100 | 17 h 8 m | Show | |
My selection is on Detroit plus the points over Arizona at 1 pm et on Sunday. I’m not as high on the Cardinals as some. It seems like Arizona is a perennial Super Bowl sleeper pick but this is a team that has had a tough time living up to expectations in recent years. Things won’t get any easier this year with an aging, oft-injured Carson Palmer under center. Yes, David Johnson is an absolute force out of the backfield but outside of his presence, does anyone else on this offense really scare the opposition? The Lions gave QB Matt Stafford a lot more money than expected and perhaps deserved. That should at the very least give him a shot of confidence, and I like the receiving corps he’ll be working with, even if that group isn’t loaded with star power. Watch for Kenny Golladay to take on a prominent role in the offense before too long, perhaps passing Marvin Jones on the depth chart eventually. Defensively, the Lions are better than most give them credit for. As I mentioned, the Cards aren’t going to intimidate them. I simply feel that the wrong team is favored in this NFC showdown. Take Detroit (10*). |
|||||||
09-10-17 | Raiders +3 v. Titans | 26-16 | Win | 100 | 17 h 7 m | Show | |
My selection is on Oakland plus the points over Tennessee at 1 pm et on Sunday. I had this game as a pk’em but the oddsmakers have elected to install the Titans as a small favorite. While I can understand the logic behind the line, that doesn’t mean I agree with it. A lot of folks have the Titans pegged as a playoff team in 2017. I’m not so easily convinced. A lot went right for Tennessee a year ago as RB DeMarco Murray performed better than expected and an ‘under the radar’ receiving corps came up big for QB Marcus Mariota. However, the Titans will have a bigger target on their backs this season, and it starts with this showdown with the Raiders – who carry plenty of hype and expectations of their own. Barring injuries, I do believe Oakland will make some serious noise in the AFC West this season. We saw the Chiefs come roaring out of the gates in Foxborough on Thursday but the Raiders are capable of looking just as impressive here. Take Oakland (10*). |

09-09-17 | Old Dominion -3.5 v. UMass | Top | 17-7 | Win | 100 | 19 h 3 m | Show |
CFB Blowout Game of the Month. My selection is on Old Dominion minus the points over Massachusetts at 3:30 pm et on Saturday. I’ll lay the points with what remains an undervalued Monarchs squad on Saturday afternoon. Few paid much attention to Old Dominion last year but all the Monarchs did was earn a share of the C-USA East Division title, winning 10 games, including a Bahamas Bowl victory over Eastern Michigan. While they have had to deal with some turnover entering this campaign, they’re off to a 1-0 start after defeating Albany last Saturday. They put up 31 points in that game despite getting only 44 yards and a score on five carries from star RB Ray Lawry. He was forced to leave the game after tweaking his hamstring on a long touchdown run in the first quarter but should be good to go for this one. Even if he’s not 100% healthy, the Monarchs are capable of putting up big numbers against a below average UMass defense. The Minutemen are off to a disappointing 0-2 start after suffering a 38-28 loss at Coastal Carolina last week. Losing that game despite QB Andrew Ford throwing for over 300 yards was demoralizing to be sure. There are few opponents that the Minutemen will be able to hold up against defensively, and I don’t believe the Monarchs are one of them. We’ll back ODU before the betting marketplace catches up. Take Old Dominion (10*). |

09-09-17 | Louisville -9.5 v. North Carolina | 47-35 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show | |
My selection is on Louisville minus the points over North Carolina at 12 noon et on Saturday. The Cardinals may be a top-25 team but they didn’t necessarily look like it for much of last week’s narrow come-from-behind 35-28 win over Purdue. Now that Louisville got that uneven performance out of its system I look for it to push forward with a much better effort against North Carolina on Saturday. Much of the Cardinals struggles last week came in the first half, when they managed only a touchdown and a field goal. The second half was much more promising as they put 25 points on the board, scoring on offense and defense. Lamar Jackson was Lamar Jackson and he should thrive against a good but not great Tar Heels defense this week. But it’s the Cardinals defense that I’m really counting on to control proceedings against a UNC offense that is dealing with a lot of changes, most notably under center. This is a big game for UNC off the disappointing loss to Cal last week but I’m not convinced it will be able to pick itself up off the mat against an elite opponent. Take Louisville (10*). |
|||||||
09-06-17 | Cubs v. Pirates +1.5 | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
My selection is on Pittsburgh +1.5 runs over Chicago at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday. I'll back the Pirates with an insurance run as they host the Cubs on Wednesday night. Jose Quintana will take the ball for the Cubs. He's alternated good and shaky starts and checks in winless in his last three road starts. Note that Chicago is giving him just north of three runs per game when he takes the hill on the road. With the Cubbies having won his last start against these same Pirates by a 17-3 score, Pittsburgh will certainly have its sights set on earning a little revenge in this spot. Gerritt Cole wil take the ball for the Buccos. He has lasted at least six innings in 11 consecutive starts. Despite his personal 2-5 record at PNC Park, the Pirates have actually managed to go 7-6 when he takes the ball at home. I fully expect Cole to bounce back from an outing that saw him allow five earned runs over six innings at home against the Reds last week. Take Pittsburgh +1.5 (10*). |
|||||||
09-04-17 | Diamondbacks +1.5 v. Dodgers | 13-0 | Win | 100 | 24 h 39 m | Show | |
My selection is on Arizona +1.5 runs over Los Angeles at 8:10 pm et on Monday. We won with the D'Backs against Rich Hill and the Dodgers last week and I won't hesitate to go back to the well with an insurance run in my back pocket again in this spot. Arizona is scoring runs in bunches right now. The same can't be said for the suddenly struggling Dodgers. The D'Backs will hand the ball to Robbie Ray, who has become their ace this season. Ray checks in sporting a 6-1 record and a sparkling 1.49 ERA on the road this season. Arizona is outscoring the opposition by more than two runs per game with Ray on the hill on the road. Rich Hill will counter for Los Angeles. Despite his masterful outing in Pittsburgh two starts back, he hasn't exactly been rolling, having posted an ERA north of five over his last three trips to the hill. As good as the Dodgers have been this season, they've won just 12 of Hill's 20 starts this season. Take Arizona +1.5 (10*). |
|||||||
09-03-17 | Texas A&M v. UCLA -3 | 44-45 | Loss | -120 | 71 h 39 m | Show | |
My selection is on UCLA minus the points over Texas A&M at 7:30 pm et on Sunday. The Bruins season got derailed by an injury to QB Josh Rosen a year ago but he's back healthy to open the 2017 campaign, and I look for UCLA to come out and make a statement on Sunday. Meanwhile, Texas A&M hasn't covered a spread since last September - September 24th against Arkansas to be exact. This is by no means an easy spot for the Aggies to snap that ATS skid. Keep in mind, A&M defeated UCLA by a 31-24 score in overtime in last year's season opener. The Aggies were certainly fortunate to cover the five-point spread in that contest. But that was was played at College Station. Different venue, different story. Take UCLA (10*). |
