01-01-18 | Alabama -2 v. Clemson | Top | 24-6 | Win | 100 | 704 h 57 m | Show |
At 8:45 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing the Alabama Crimson Tide (274) minus the points versus the Clemson Tigers (273) in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama (11-1) saw their undefeated season spoiled in the Iron Bowl back on November 25th in a 26-14 upset loss at Auburn as a 5-point favorite. Look for the Crimson Tide to bounce-back with a very strong effort. Alabama has covered the point spread in 10 of their last 14 games after a point spread loss. The Crimson Tide has also covered the point spread in 42 of their last 63 road games after a straight-up loss. And in their last 7 games after failing to score more than 20 points, Alabama has covered the point spread 5 times. Nick Saban's team will be razor sharp as they look to bounce-back from that loss while also getting the opportunity to avenge their Championship Game loss to Clemson last season. Injuries at linebacker have slowed Alabama over the last month of the regular season -- which is one of the reasons why we went against them against Mississippi State and Auburn. But the Crimson Tide enters this game as healthy as they have been all season. Getting those linebackers back improves a stout defense that was already tops in the nation by allowing only 11.5 PPG. The Alabama offense also ranked 9th in the nation by scoring 39.1 PPG. They have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games when playing on a neutral field. And in their last 4 games playing on field turf, the Crimson Tide have covered the point spread all 4 times. |

12-31-17 | Mavs v. Thunder -6 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 6 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (808) minus the points versus the Dallas Mavericks (807). Oklahoma City (20-16) saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday in a controversial 97-95 loss to Milwaukee despite being a 6.5-point favorite. The Thunder lost after Giannis Antetokounmpo made a buzzer-beating basket — however, replays confirmed that the basket should have been disallowed with Antetokounmpo stepping out of bounds just before taking the winning shot. Expect Oklahoma City to come out blazing tonight to get that bad taste out of their mouths. The Thunder dealt with a similar situation early in the season back on October 22nd when the Andrew Wiggins nailed a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer for the Timberwolves to pull out a victory. The NBA later conceded that an illegal screen should have been called to nullify Wiggins’ basket. OKC responded to that disappointment with a 114-96 blowout win at home over Indiana as 13-point favorites in their next opportunity to take the court. The Thunder have covered the point spread in 45 of their last 70 games after a loss by 3 points or less — and they have covered the point spread in 20 of their last 31 games when that loss by 3 points or less occurred on their home court. The team will be without both Andre Roberson and Paul George who are both dealing with injuries. But the team still has Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony with the latter helping the team more since accepting the role as primarily an outside shooter to better compliment Westbrook’s offensive game. Oklahoma City looks to avenge a 97-81 upset loss in Dallas back on November 25th as a 6-point underdog. The Thunder have covered the point spread in 14 of their last 21 games when avenging a double-digit loss to their opponents when playing in their gym in that last game. OKC has also covered the point spread in a divisive 71 of their last 119 games when playing with revenge for a double-digit loss — and this includes covering the point spread in 3 of their last 4 along with 20 of these last 31 situations. |

12-31-17 | 49ers v. Rams UNDER 44.5 | Top | 34-13 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 24 m | Show |
At 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Francisco 49ers (331) and the Los Angeles Rams (332). Los Angeles (11-4) will be resting a few key players — including quarterback Jared Goff and running back Todd Gurley — in this game with their slot in the NFC Playoffs as either the third or fourth seed secured. That means that the QB for this game will be Sean Mannion while the bell cow running back will be Malcolm Brown. While those names are not encouraging, the Rams defense should still be in good shape under defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. In fact, Phillips will want to see many adjustments made from the 41-39 game that the Rams won in the first meeting between these two teams back on September 21st. Los Angeles enters this game coming off their 27-23 win at Tennessee last week as a 5.5-point favorite. The Rams have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after winning a game on the road where they failed to cover the point spread as the favorite. Los Angeles has also played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a game where at least 50 combined points were scored. The Rams return home where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total. Los Angeles has also played 10 of their last 12 home games Under the Total against teams with a losing record on the road. And in their last 8 home games with the Total set in the 42.5 to 49 point range, the Rams have played 6 of these games Under the Total. |

12-31-17 | Texans v. Colts UNDER 42 | Top | 13-22 | Win | 100 | 1 h 12 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Houston Texans (315) and the Indianapolis Colts (316). Houston (4-11) has lost five straight games after their 34-6 loss to Pittsburgh on Christmas Day. The Texans managed only 227 yards of offense behind quarterbacks T.J. Yates and Taylor Heinicke — and the team will be without their All-World wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. As it is, Houston has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a double-digit loss at home. The Texans have also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a loss by at least two touchdowns. Additionally, Houston has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after failing to generate at least 250 yards of offense. And in their last 10 games after failing to score at least 15 points, the Texans have played 8 of these games Under the Total. The team had to resign QB Josh Johnson off the streets this week with both their quarterbacks going through the concussion protocol this week. Yates has been cleared to start — but he completed just 19 of 47 passes for 211 yards and a QB Rating of 50.9 in his Houston has not scored a point in the first-half in their last two games — and they have then played 21 of their last 28 road games Under the Total after failing to score more than a touchdown in the first-half in two straight games. |

12-29-17 | Mavs v. Pelicans -6.5 | Top | 128-120 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 39 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the New Orleans Pelicans (810) minus the points versus the Dallas Mavericks (809). Dallas (11-25) has produced two straight upset victories as they followed up their 98-93 upset win over Toronto as a 5.5-point underdog with their 98-94 upset win at Indiana as a 3.5-point underdog on Wednesday. The Mavericks have then failed to cover the point spread in 16 of their last 23 games after an upset win as a road underdog. This will be Dallas’ sixth game in the last ten days — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games when playing at least their sixth game in ten days. Additionally, the Mavericks have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games with the Total set in the 210 to 219.5 point range — and this includes failing to cover the point spread in three of their last four road games with the Total set in that range. Furthermore, Dallas has failed to cover the point spread in 5 straight games played on a Friday. |

12-29-17 | Utah State v. New Mexico State OVER 63 | Top | 20-26 | Loss | -116 | 6 h 12 m | Show |
At 5:30 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the Arizona Bowl between the Utah State Aggies (253) and the New Mexico State Aggies (254). Utah State (6-6) enters this game coming off a 38-35 loss at Air Force as a 2.5-point favorite back on November 25th. Utah State has then played 4 straight games Over the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a point spread setback. Utah State gained 521 yards in that losing effort — and they have then played 18 of their last 26 games Over the Total after gaining at least 450 yards in their last game. And in their last 4 games against teams outside the Mountain West Conference, the Aggies have played all 4 games Over the Total. |

12-28-17 | Michigan State v. Washington State +3 | Top | 42-17 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
At 9:00 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing the Washington State Cougars (278) plus the points versus the Michigan State Spartans (277) in the Holiday Bowl. Michigan State (9-3) opened this game as a small underdog — and with most of the money being bet on Sparty, they now find themselves as a small favorite in the 2-point range. But the Spartans have failed to cover the point spread in 17 of their last 26 games without head coach Mark Dantonio being able to play the “disrespect” card. Michigan State has won two straight games after their 40-7 win at Rutgers as a 13.5-point favorite. But the Spartans have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a point spread win. Michigan State forced three turnovers in that game — but they have then failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after forcing at least three turnovers in their last game. And while Sparty did not commit a turnover in that contest, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 14 of their last 21 games after committing no more than one turnover in their last contest. Michigan State does have a very good defense that has allowed 97 rushing yards combined in their last two games — but they have then failed to cover the point spread in 6 straight road games after not allowing more than 125 rushing yards in at least two straight games. Remember, this Spartans defense was exposed by Ohio State in a their 48-3 loss to the Buckeyes last month in a game where they allowed 524 yards of offense. The Michigan State offense scored only 23.6 PPG in their five games on the road this year — and they were outgained by -2.6 net PPG in their five games away from East Lansing. The Spartans have also failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games against non-conference opponents — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games against Pac-12 opponents. |

12-25-17 | Raiders v. Eagles UNDER 46.5 | Top | 10-19 | Win | 100 | 13 h 43 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Oakland Raiders (131) and the Philadelphia Eagles (132). Philadelphia (12-2) enters this game coming off a 34-29 win in New York against the Giants on the heels of a 43-35 win in Los Angeles against the Rams. Those two games went Over the Total by 22 and 31 points respectively which may make it tempting for some bettors to expect another Over tonight. There are a host of empirical situational angles that help inform my decisions that do not end up being documented in my Reports but I wanted to highlight this one that identifies the contrarian play regarding the Under with the Eagles. After the first month of the season in games with the Total set in the 42.5 to 49 point range, when one team has played their last two games Over the Total by at least two touchdowns, these games finished Under the Total in 34 of the last 44 situations (77%) where these conditions applied. The Eagles should see a much better effort from their defense after giving up 64 combined points over their last two games. Philly has played 5 of the last 6 games Under the Total after a game where at least 50 combined points were scored — and they have also played 15 of their last 18 home games Under the Total after playing two straight games where at least 50 combined points were scored. Additionally, the Eagles have played 37 of their last 54 games Under the Total after a game where at least 60 combined points were scored — and they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a game where at least 60 combined points were scored in two straight contests. Philadelphia has also played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total after two straight wins on the road. Returning home after playing a rigorous three straight games on the road should help this defense. On their home field, the Eagles are allowing only 15.2 PPG along with just 278.3 total YPG — and they have not given up more than 24 points at home all season. Furthermore, the Eagles have played 11 of their last 18 home games Under the Total as the favorite which includes playing their last two games Under the Total when favored in the 7.5 to 14 point range. |

12-25-17 | Cavs v. Warriors OVER 216.5 | Top | 92-99 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 50 m | Show |
At 3:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (703) and the Golden State Warriors (704). Over six months after last year’s NBA Finals, it is safe to give away a trade secret: I was pounding the Over in the NBA Finals because the betting public and the oddsmakers were behind on appreciating the style of play that the Cavaliers were deciding to engage against the Warriors. While I expect more of the same for this early regular season game in this marquee television matchup, too much will have changed by the time the 2018 NBA Finals rolls around to ensure near automatic Overs if there is a third sequel between these two teams. The oddsmakers set the number rather high for Game One of the NBA Finals last year at 224.5 — and the Under hit with Cleveland shooting just 34.9% from the field in a Golden State blowout. The Total dropped to 222 and we pounded the Over in what turned out to be the Warriors’ 132-113 victory. The number jumped to 226.5 for Game Three and we still took the Over and got there with Golden State’s 118-113 victory. For Game Four, the number climbed to 227 yet we kept the Over going and won easily with the Cavs’ 137-116 victory. That finally prompted the oddsmakers to traverse the 230 Total threshold with the number placed at 231. We still took the Over and were rewarded with a 129-120 score with the Warriors closing out that series. With this Total for a regular season game with a reconfigured Cavs’ roster facing a Golden State team without Steph Curry who is injured, lets still pound the Over. The Warriors side of this equation is rudimentary. Golden State (26-7) saw their eleven-game winning streak snapped on Saturday in a 96-81 loss to Denver despite being an 8-point favorite. The Warriors shot just 38.6% from the field which was their worst shooting effort in their last twenty-two games. Expect Golden State to come out firing on all cylinders. Not only has Golden State played 6 straight games Over the Total after an upset loss but they have played 14 of their last 16 games Over the Total after an upset loss by at least 15 points as a home favorite. While the team certainly misses Curry, they still have plenty of offensive firepower with Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson along with Draymond Green and Shaun Livingston who are both listed as probable after dealing with nagging injuries. The Warriors have played 4 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. |

12-25-17 | Akron v. Davidson UNDER 149.5 | Top | 78-91 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 11 m | Show |
At 12:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Akron Zips (711) and the Davidson Wildcats (712) in the Diamond’s Head Classic. This game first consolation match on the last day of this holiday tournament in Hawai’i will be played at 7:30 AM local time to accommodate the early afternoon tipoff on the east coast for the ESPNU national audience. Expect both teams to be a bit sluggish for this one. Akron (6-4) has lost two straight games after their 64-62 loss to Princeton on Saturday as a 5.5-point underdog. The Zips have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a point spread win — and they have played 9 of their last 11 road games Under the Total after a point spread win. Additionally, Akron has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when playing their second game in three days — and they have played 6 straight games Under the Total when playing with one day or less between games. Furthermore, the Zips have played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total against teams outside the Mid-American Conference. And in their last 21 road games against non-conference foes, Akron has played 15 of these games Under the Total. And in their last 7 games played on a neutral court, the Zips have played 6 of these games Under the Total. |

12-24-17 | Houston v. Fresno State +2 | Top | 27-33 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Fresno State Bulldogs (228) plus the point(s) versus the Houston Cougars (227) in the Hawai’i Bowl. Fresno State (9-4) looks to bounce-back from their 17-14 loss in the Mountain West Conference Championship Game at Boise State which was an immediate rematch from the game those two teams played the previous week in Fresno. The Bulldogs have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after a straight-up loss. Fresno State did cover the 10-point spread as the underdog in that last game — and they are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games after a point spread setback. Additionally, the Bulldogs have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 11 games after failing to score more than 20 points in their last contest. And in their last 10 games after allowing at least 20 points in their last contest, Fresno State has covered the point spread in 9 of those games. Furthermore, the Bulldogs have covered the point spread in 11 of their last 12 games against teams with a winning record. And in their last 5 games against teams outside the MWC, Fresno State has covered the point spread in 4 of these contests. |

12-24-17 | Seahawks +4 v. Cowboys | Top | 21-12 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show |
At 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Seattle Seahawks (127) plus the points versus the Dallas Cowboys (128). Seattle (8-6) might have experienced their most humiliating loss in the Pete Carroll era last week in their 42-7 loss to the Rams. The season began with locker room angst between the defensive and offensive units and while those issues appeared to have been put aside during the season, injuries have decimated their roster. Now that they are out of the playoff hunt, this Seahawks team is playing for pride. But I do expect that to be enough motivation for this team as they look to make amends to each other for last week’s terrible effort. Seattle is 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games after a straight-up loss. And while they have played two straight games Over the Total, they have then covered the point spread in 9 of their last 10 games after playing two straight games Over the Total. The team is getting back a healthier Bobby Wagner on defense who did practice this week after trying to take the field last Sunday. His presence on defense will be a big help. The Seahawks are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games on the road. And in their last 29 games in the month of December, Seattle is 20-8-1 ATS. |

12-24-17 | Falcons v. Saints -5 | Top | 13-23 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the New Orleans Saints (116) minus the points versus the Atlanta Falcons (115). New Orleans (10-4) will be looking to avenge a 20-17 loss in Atlanta back on December 7th in this game. The Saints rebounded from that loss last Sunday with their 31-19 win over the Jets as a big 17.5-point favorite. New Orleans have then covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games after a straight-up win. The Saints generated 412 yards of offense in that game — and they have then covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. Now New Orleans gets the Falcons back at home in the Superdome where they have covered the point spread in 22 of their last 26 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. In his last four games at home against Atlanta, Drew Brees has thrown for 1358 passing yards along with seven TD passes — so don’t be surprised if the veteran QB has a big day this afternoon. The Saints have also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games against fellow NFC South opponents. |

12-23-17 | Vikings v. Packers +9 | Top | 16-0 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 9 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Green Bay Packers (104) plus the points versus the Minnesota Vikings (103). Green Bay (7-7) were eliminated from the playoffs last week after their 34-21 loss in Carolina. Now with Aaron Rodgers placed on Injured Reserve with this being a lost season, it would be easy to dismiss the Packers in this contest. But this proud Green Bay franchise has the opportunity to play spoiler against their rivals in the Vikings while avenging a 23-10 loss in Minnesota on October 15th. And this will be the final home game at Lambeau Field this year. The Packers have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games in the month of December. Green Bay has also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 9 opportunities to avenge a loss to their opponents. And while the Packers have played their last two games on the road, they return home where they have covered the point spread in 40 of their last 62 games after playing their last two on the road. QB Brent Hundley has played significantly better before giving way to Rodgers return from Injured Reserve last week. Green Bay was 2-1 over Hundley’s last three starts with two of those games being on the road. The lone loss was a narrow 31-28 loss in Pittsburgh over the Steelers. In his last three starts, Hundley completed 65 of 94 passes for an impressive 69.1% completion percentage while tossing 6 touchdown passes to just one interception. He passed for 594 yards in those three games with a solid and improving 6.32 Yards-Per-Pass-Attempt average. Huntley also added 103 rushing yards over those last three games on 15 carries. He has helped the Packers play their last four games Over the Total — and they have then covered the point spread in 21 of their last 30 home games after playing at least three straight games Over the Total. Green Bay allowed 387 yards last week in Carolina — and they have covered the point spread in 39 of their last 57 games after allowing at least 350 yards in their last contest. |

12-23-17 | Appalachian State v. Toledo UNDER 61.5 | Top | 34-0 | Win | 100 | 19 h 37 m | Show |
At 7:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Appalachian State Mountaineers (225) and the Toledo Rockets (226) in the Dollar General Bowl. Appalachian State (8-4) enters this bowl game having won three straight games with their 63-14 win over UL-Lafayette back on December 2nd. The Mountaineers have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a win by at least 20 points. Appalachian State has also played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after holding their last opponent to 20 points or less. This Mountaineers team once again has a stout defense as they ranked 33rd in the FBS by allowing 21.9 PPG — and they also ranked 39th in the nation by limiting their opponents to just 358.9 total YPG. What helps the defense succeed is keeping them off the field by running the ball on offense. Appalachian State rushed for 357 yards again the Ragin’ Cajuns in that last game. Not only have they then played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total after rushing for at least 200 yards in their last game but they have also played 6 straight games Under the Total after rushing for at least 300 yards in their last contest. Additionally, the Mountaineers have played 10 of their last 11 games Under the Total after scoring at least 40 points in their last game. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record, Appalachian State has played 4 of these games Under the Total. |

12-22-17 | Mavs +2 v. Heat | Top | 101-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Dallas Mavericks (807) plus the points versus the Miami Heat (808). Dallas (9-23) is looking to build off their 110-93 win over Detroit on Wednesday as a 1-point favorite. That victory snapped a three-game losing streak in that game — and, not coincidentally, it was the first game back for their rookie sensation Dennis Smith who had missed the previous six games with a left hip strain. Smith scored 15 points while adding 5 assists and 5 rebounds. Look for the Mavericks to build off this momentum as they had covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up win — and they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games after a double-digit victory. Additionally, Dallas has covered then point spread in 4 straight games after scoring at least 100 points in their last game. And in their last 9 games when playing with one day of rest, the Mavs are 6-2-1 ATS. This Dallas team has a disappointing overall record — but they play hard every night for head coach Rick Carlisle. This team is 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games agains teams with a winning record. And in their last 7 games on the road, the Mavericks are 5-1-1 ATS. |

At 7:00 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Oakland Grizzlies (836) minus the points versus the Eastern Michigan Eagles (835). Oakland (7-5) will be looking to avenge a 95-89 loss at Eastern Michigan back on December 6th. The Grizzlies have won two of their last three games since that loss with their lone setback being a gritty 13-point loss to a might Michigan State team on a neutral court. Oakland has covered the point spread in 14 of their last 18 games when looking to avenge a loss to their opponents. The Grizzlies come off a 97-86 loss to Towson State back on December 20th as a 4.5-point favorite — and they have then covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after a point spread victory. Oakland is also 42-15-1 ATS in their last 58 games after a straight-up win. And in their last 15 games after scoring at least 90 points, the Grizzlies are 10-4-1 ATS. Oakland gets this rematch at home where they are a perfect 5-0 with season while outscoring their opponents by +14.2 PPG. This up-tempo Grizzlies team scores 89.6 PPG on 51.2% shooting. Oakland has covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games at home. |

12-22-17 | Central Michigan v. Wyoming -3 | Top | 14-37 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
At 4:00 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Wyoming Cowboys (220) minus the points versus the Central Michigan Chippewas (219) in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Wyoming (7-5) is led by a quarterback who will be drafted high in next April’s NFL Draft in junior Jake Allen. But Allen lost almost all his skill players from the previous season and led an offense that mostly sputtered this season as they scored only 22.3 PPG. Allen’s status for this game was questionable with a shoulder injury that kept him out of the last two games of the regular season — but he will take the field to start in this showcase opportunity for himself before he likely declares himself eligible for the draft. I do think the offense should be improved with the extra weeks of bowl practice. But while the offense behind Allen has been a challenge this season, that dynamic obscured the fact that the Cowboys defense has been quite good this season. Eight starters returned for first-year defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton who oversaw a unit that ranked 12th in the FBS by holding opponents to just 17.8 PPG while also ranking 22nd in the nation by limiting opponents to only 332.8 total YPG. Wyoming should also have the Special Teams edge in this game against the Chippewas. The Cowboys will be looking to bounce-back after losing their last two games of the season without Allen. They take the field again for the first time since their 20-17 loss at San Jose State as an 18-point favorite — and they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a straight-up loss. This team has also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 11 games after a loss to a conference rival — and they have covered the point spread in 3 straight games after an upset loss as a road favorite. Additionally, they have covered the point spread in 3 straight games when playing with at least two weeks to prepare under head coach Craig Bohl. Wyoming has also covered the point spread in 13 of their last 17 games after the first month of the season. In their last 11 games against teams with a winning record, the Cowboys have covered the point spread in 8 of these contests. And in their last 5 games with the Total set in the 42.5 to 49 point range, Wyoming has covered the point spread 4 times. Additionally, the Cowboys will enjoy both a geographical edge as well as an environment edge as they are already quite familiar with playing in the high altitude conditions that will be the case in Boise for this Bowl game. |

At 8:00 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing the Temple Owls (215) minus the points versus the Florida International Golden Panthers (216). Temple (6-6) closed out their season winning three of their last four games with their 43-22 win at Tulsa as a 4.5-point favorite. The Owls should build off their momentum closing out the regular season as they have covered the pint spread in 7 of their last 9 games are a win by at least 20 points — and they have covered the point spread in 19 of their last 26 games after a point spread victory. The offense has raised its level of play over their last five games when first-year head coach Geoff Collins inserted QB Frankie Nutile into the starting lineup. The junior completed 20 of 28 passes for 262 yards and three touchdown passes. Futile is completing 61% of his passes while possessing an 11 to 7 touchdown-to-interception ration while leading his team to score 31.8 PPG in his five starts. In their last three wins, the Owls have combined to score 112 combined points. Temple generated 451 yards of offense against Tulsa — and they have covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after generating at least 450 yards in their last game. The Owls have also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after scoring at least 40 points in their last game. This should be a motivated group of players with 20 seniors and 24 juniors on the opening roster who will be looking to deliver a victory in a bowl game after experiencing upset losses in the last two seasons in their bowl game. Temple has covered the point spread in 9 of their last 12 games against teams with a winning record. The Owls have also covered the point spread in 14 of their last 17 games when playing on field turf which the field here in St. Petersburg. |

12-21-17 | Bulls v. Cavs OVER 214 | Top | 112-115 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Bulls (503) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (504). Chicago (10-20) has been on fire since getting power forward Nikolo Mirotic back on the court after missing the start of the season due to injuries sustained when he got into a fight with teammate Bobby Portis. The Bulls are undefeated since Mirotic returned to the lineup — and they have won seven straight games after their 112-94 win over Orlando last night as a 5.5-point favorite. Chicago is scoring 111.0 PPG over their last five games while making 47.7% of their shots as they clearly are buoyed with Mirotic’s presence down low. For the season, the Bulls are scoring 99.3 PPG on a 43.5% shooting percentage so Mirotic’s impact has been impressive. The Magic shot just 39.3% from the field against Chicago which was the Bulls’ best defensive effort in their last eighteen games — so they are likely to come back to Earth tonight when facing LeBron James and company at least on the defensive end of the court. As it is, Chicago has palyed 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a point spread victory. The Bulls have also played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total when playing without rest and none of their players logged in more than 29 minutes last night in their easy victory. Chicago goes on the road for this contest where they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total. The Bulls have also played 4 of their last 5 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. |

12-18-17 | Falcons v. Bucs +7 | Top | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 4 h 3 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (332) plus the points versus the Atlanta Falcons (331). Atlanta (8-5) enters this game after their triumphant 20-17 win over New Orleans two Thursdays ago. If you think this game looks eerily similar to last Monday night’s New England at Miami game, then you are not alone. The Falcons easily took care of the Buccaneers in the first meeting between these two teams back on November 26th in a 34-20 score in Atlanta. And with the rematch with the Saints in the Big Easy on deck this weekend, this Falcons team may be caught looking ahead. As it is, Atlanta has failed to cover the point spread in 32 of their last 48 games after a home win against a divisional rival. And while Atlanta has won four of their last five games, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 11 games after winning at least three of their last four games. The Falcons held New Orleans to just 50 rushing yards last night — but they have then failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 12 games after not allowing more than 75 rushing yards in their last game. Atlanta did suffer a -2 net turnover margin to the Saints in that victory — but they have then failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after having a -2 or worse net turnover margin in their last game. Moving forward, the Falcons have failed to cover the point spread in 19 of their last 32 games as the favorite. |

12-17-17 | Cowboys v. Raiders UNDER 46.5 | Top | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 4 h 33 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Dallas Cowboys (329) and the Oakland Raiders (330). Dallas (7-6) looks to build off their 30-10 win in New York against the Giants last week. The Cowboys have found their offense again as they dialed up 454 yards of offense behind a rushing attack that generated 122 yards of offense. Getting Tyron Smith healthy again at left tackle has made a big difference for this team as they have rushed the ball 73 times over their last two games for 304 rushing yards. Rushing the football tonight will keep the clock moving and help our Under tonight. As it is, Dallas has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after they gained at least 350 yards in their last game. The Cowboys stay on the road where they have played 17 of their last 23 games Under the Total. Additionally, Dallas has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. The Cowboys have also played 8 of their last 10 games against teams from the AFC. And in their last 9 games in the month of December, Dallas has played 8 of these games Under the Total. |

12-17-17 | Patriots -2.5 v. Steelers | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 18 h 35 m | Show |
At 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the New England Patriots (325) minus the points versus the Pittsburgh Steelers (326). Pittsburgh (11-2) has had this date circled since the league office put out the schedule as they are looking to avenge last year’s 36-17 loss in New England in the AFC Championship Game. But the timing for their opportunity for revenge could not be worse. For starters, the Steelers have gutted through two very difficult games against AFC North rivals. After the their very physical game against the Bengals two weeks ago, Pittsburgh rallied from an 11-point deficit in the 4th quarter to eke out a 39-38 victory over Baltimore. Recovering from this stretch is difficult enough. As it is, the Steelers have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up win. And in their last fifteen games after facing their arch rival in the Ravens, Pittsburgh has lost eight of these games straight-up. The mental and physical toll of those two games will be difficult to sustain now — especially with all the pressure this team feels to step up for this game given the words of head coach Mike Tomlin over the last few weeks. A big emotional letdown may happen for this team. While they have won eight straight games, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after winning eight of their last ten games. Furthermore, this Steelers’ defense is far from at full strength. The season-ending injury to Ryan Shazier takes away their best defender of short and intermediate routes that this Patriots team absolutely thrives in with tight end Rob Gronkowski leading the way. In the seven quarters this team has played since losing Shazier in the Bengals game, Pittsburgh has allowed 48 points and 654 yards. Even worse, the Steelers have allowed their opponent to score a touchdown in all six of their Red Zone appearances since that Shazier injury — as opposed to not allowing a TD in thirteen of their previous twenty-five Red Zone defensive situations. Pittsburgh is also missing cornerback Joe Haden with his broken fibula who was their best cover man in their secondary. Over their last three games without Haden, the Steelers defense has allowed 28.7 PPG along with 357.7 total YPG. Haden is listed as questionable for this game but is not likely to be close to 100% even if takes the field which will leave the Pittsburgh pass defense still vulnerable after Joe Flacco torched them for 269 yards and a 7.69 Yards-Per-Attempt average. Pittsburgh has allowed their last two opponents to average 6.09 and 6.77 Yards-Per-Play without Haden and Shazier (for all but one quarter) — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games after allowing each of their last two opponents to average at least 6.0 YPP. On offense, Big Ben Roethlisberger did complete 44 of 66 passes for 506 yards against the Ravens last week — but the Steelers have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games after passing for at least 250 yards in their last game. Pittsburgh is also 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games after scoring at least 30 points in their last contest. And while the Steelers have not covered the point spread in their last three contests, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 6 games after failing to cover the point spread in at least two straight games. |

12-16-17 | Chargers v. Chiefs +1 | Top | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 3 h 33 m | Show |
At 8:25 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Kansas City Chiefs (306) plus (or minus) the points versus the Los Angeles Chargers (305). Kansas City (7-6) was once the toast of the league early in the season when they rattled off five straight victories — and we were bearish on them then. But now most bettors have jumped off the ole bandwagon as they have lost six of their last eight games while also only covering the point spread twice over those last eight contests. But that is an overreaction as well — and this Chiefs team should be very feisty in this rare situation where they are a home underdog. To make things even saltier for this Kansas City team, they are underdogs at home to a Chargers team that they have defeated seven straight times. I like what I saw with this Kansas City team last week where they defeated the Raiders by a 26-15 score as a 4.5-point favorite. Dominating both sides of the line of scrimmage helped the Chiefs get back to their winning ways — perhaps the entire team responded to the message head coach Andy Reid sent when he suspended starting cornerback Marcus Peters for losing control the previous week when he tossed an official’s penalty flag into the crowd. Rookie Kareem Hunt broke out of his slump by rushing the ball 25 times for 116 yards while adding another 22 yards in the air. The Chiefs rushed for 165 yards against the Raiders which helped them control the clock for 36:40 minutes — and they have then covered the point spread in 14 of their last 17 games after rushing for at least 150 yards in their last game. KC held Oakland to just 70 rushing yards — and they have then covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after not allowing more than 90 yards in their last contest. Additionally, the Chiefs ave covered the point spread in 5 straight games after both a straight-up win and after a point spread victory. Furthermore, Kansas City has covered the point spread in 26 of their last 38 games after failing to cover the point spread in five or six of their last seven games. And in their last 9 games against AFC West opponents, the Chiefs have covered the point spread 8 times. 25* NFL Network Game of the Year with the Kansas City Chiefs plus (or minus) the points.

12-16-17 | Bears v. Lions UNDER 44 | Top | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
At 4:30 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Chicago Bears (303) and the Detroit Lions (304). Detroit (7-6) enters this game coming off their 24-21 win in Tampa Bay last week in a pick ‘em game. QB Matthew Stafford was outstanding in that contest as he completed 36 of 44 passes for 381 yards — but the Lions have then played 10 of their last 14 games Under the Total after passing for at least 250 yards in their last game. But despite that nice offensive effort, Detroit is scoring only 22.3 PPG over their last three games. One of the concerns for the Lions is their inability to run the football as they rank last in the league by averaging only 76.3 rushing YPG. Over their last four games, Detroit has not rushed for more than 78 yards — and they have played 8 of their last 12 games Under the Total after failing to rush for at least 100 yards in four straight games. On the other side of the football, the Lions allowed 267 passing yards to the Bucs in that victory — but they have then played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after allowing at least 250 passing yards in their last contest. Furthermore, Detroit has played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. |

12-15-17 | Jazz v. Celtics OVER 198 | Top | 107-95 | Win | 100 | 3 h 23 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Utah Jazz (811) and the Boston Celtics (812). Boston (24-6) has won seven of their last nine games with their 124-118 win over Denver on Wednesday. The Celtics have then played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 straight games Over the Total after a narrow win by 6 points or less. The Over is also 9-2-1 in their last 12 games when playing with one day of rest. Now this team stays at home where they are averaging 106.5 PPG — and they have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total. Boston has also played 19 of their last 25 home games Over the Total after winning six or seven of their last eight games. And the Over is 25-10-1 in the Celtics’ last 36 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. The team is likely to get Al Horford back on the court as he is listed as probable with his knee injury. That helps them on offense — and the fact that Marcus Morris will still be out with his knee issue takes away one of their better post defenders. Boston has played 11 of their last 15 games Over the Total as a favorite laying 3.5 to 9.5 points. Additionally, the Celtics have played 15 of their last 20 games Over the Total with the number set in the 190 to 199.5 point range. And in their last 5 games against Western Conference opponents, the game has finished Over the Total 4 times. |

At 7:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Miami Heat (803) plus the points versus the Charlotte Hornets (804). Miami (13-14) looks to bounce-back from their 102-95 loss to Portland on Wednesday as a 2.5-point favorite. The Heat have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 16 of their last 21 games after an upset loss as a home favorite. Now this team goes on the road where they have a winning 8-7 record based on tough defense as they are holding their opponents to just a 43.8% shooting percentage. Additionally, Miami has covered the point spread in 14 of their last 20 road games against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 45 road games as the underdog, the Heat have covered the point spread in 29 of these contests. Additionally, Miami has covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 encounters with their Southeast Divisional rivals in this Hornets team. 25* NBA Southeast Division Underdog of the Month with the Miami Heat plus the points versus the Charlotte Hornets.

12-14-17 | Broncos v. Colts UNDER 40.5 | Top | 25-13 | Win | 100 | 41 h 14 m | Show |
At 8:25 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Denver Broncos (301) and the Indianapolis Colts (302). Denver (4-9) snapped their eight-game losing streak on Sunday with their 23-0 shutout win over the Jets as a 1-point home underdog. The Broncos held the Jets to just 100 yards of offense. Denver has been a disaster on offense as they have not been able to develop a quarterback between Trevor Siemian, Payton Lynch and Brock Osweiler — but the Broncos defense remains outstanding. Despite little help on offense in staying off the field, the Denver defense remains number one in the league by holding their opponents to just 280.5 total YPG — and they rank 2nd in the NFL in passing defense (191.1 passing YPG) and 4th in the league in rushing defense (89.5 rushing YPG). The Broncos held the Jets to just 41 passing yards last week — and they have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 150 passing yards in their last game. Denver has also played 6 of their last 8 road games Under the Total against teams with a losing record at home. Additionally, the Broncos have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total against teams with a losing record. Denver has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total in the month of December. And in their last 28 games as the favorite, the Broncos have played 19 of these games Under the Total. |

12-13-17 | Nuggets v. Celtics -6 | Top | 118-124 | Push | 0 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Boston Celtics (708) minus the points versus the Denver Nuggets (707). Boston (23-6) has lost two of their last three games with their 108-85 upset loss in Chicago on Monday as a 5.5-point favorite. The Celtics shot only 39.8% from the field which was their first shooting effort in their last thirteen games — and the 48.1% shooting mark for the lowly Bulls was their worst defensive performance in their last seven contests. Look for a strong effort from Boston tonight as they have covered the point spread in 4 straight games after a straight-up win — and they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games after a point spread setback. The team will be without Al Horford who is being given the night off for regular season rest which will leave the thin up front with Marcus Morris already out win an injury. But they are catching this Nuggets team limited on their front line as well with both Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap injured and out. The Celtics are blessed with depth still and they can use Aron Bynes along with their triumvirate of first-year big men in Guerschon Yabusege, Semo Ojeleye and Danied Theis when head coach Brad Stevens wants to deploy a bigger lineup. Boston does look to have Kyrie Irving on the court as he is listed as probable after dealing with a quad. The Celtics return home where they are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games — and they are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 home games against teams with a losing record on the road. And in their last 11 games against teams with a winning record, Boston has covered the point spread in 9 of these contests. |

At 7:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the New York Knicks (506) minus the points versus the Los Angeles Lakers (505). New York (13-13) has won two of their last three games with their 111-107 win over Atlanta on Sunday as a 6-point favorite. The Knicks have then covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after a point spread loss. New York has also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games when playing with one day of rest. The Knicks are without Tim Hardaway, Jr. who is out indefinitely with a leg injury — but they are likely to get Enes Kanter back on the court as he is listed as probable with a hip injury. New York stays at home for this one where they are 12-5 overall while shooting a crisp 48.2% from the field while holding their opponents to only a 42.5% shooting mark. They have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games — and they have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 road games against teams with a losing record at home.

At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New England Patriots (133) and the Miami Dolphins (134). New England (10-2) enters this game coming off their 23-3 win in Buffalo last Sunday. The Patriots have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. New England generated 435 yards of offense in that contest with the Bills — but they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after gaining at least 350 yards in their last contest. The team will be without tight end Rob Gronkowski in this game which takes away Tom Brady’s security blanket. Brady’s numbers are markedly better with Gronkowski on the field. In his career, Brady completes 66% of his passes while averaging a robust 8.0 Yards Per Passing Attempt with a 5.29:1 touchdown to interception ration and a QB Rating of 79. But in games without Gronkowski, Brady sees those numbers drop to a 62% completion percentage with a 7.0 YPA mark and a 2.95:1 TD to interception ratio and a QBR of 63. Furthermore, South Beach has not been Brady’s favorite place to play as the Patriots are scoring just 23.8 PPG in his fifteen starts in Miami while Brady has gotten sacked 32 times while throwing 13 interceptions. New England has played 4 of their last 5 road games Under the Total — and they have played 5 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a losing record at home The Patriots have also played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total when playing on grass. And in their last 5 games in the month of December, New England has played 4 of these games Under the Total. |

12-10-17 | Ravens +6 v. Steelers | Top | 38-39 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Baltimore Ravens (131) plus the points versus the Pittsburgh Steelers (132). Baltimore (7-5) has won three straight games — as well as four of their last five contests — with their 44-20 win over Detroit last Sunday. This Ravens team is playing with confidence behind an outstanding defense and an improving offense that is finding themselves after being ravaged with injuries to start the season. Joe Flacco completed 23 of 36 passes against the Lions for 269 yards with two TD passes to lead the offense for 370 total yards. Baltimore is then 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. The Ravens defense has allowed only 400 yards only once this season — and that was their game in London with those unique travel situations. Baltimore will be playing their revenge on their minds after losing by a 26-9 score at home to the Steelers back on October 1st. Flacco has won two of his last three starts in Pittsburgh while leading his team to score 80 combined points in that contest. Baltimore has covered the point spread in 10 of their last 12 games against fellow AFC North opponents. The Ravens are also 9-3-2 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 4 games against teams with a winning record, Baltimore is 3-0-1 ATS. |

12-10-17 | Cowboys v. Giants +4 | Top | 30-10 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 32 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the New York Giants (130) plus the points versus the Dallas Cowboys (129). There will be plenty of emotion in the Meadowlands this afternoon as the proverbial Prodigal Son in Eli Manning returns to the starting lineup in a stadium that will be full of Eli jerseys in the wake of the firing of Giants’ head coach Ben McAdoo along with their general manager Jerry Reese. New York (2-10) has played two straight games on the road — as well as three of their last four contests. That long game at home was an upset win over the Chiefs. I look for this team to play inspired football under this situation — especially for interim head coach Steve Spagnola who represents Big Blue as the defensive coordinator for a Super Bowl Championship with Manning under center. This also is an opportunity for this team to play spoiler against the Cowboys while avenging a 19-3 loss in Dallas back on September 10th. The Giants look to bounce-back from their 24-17 loss at Oakland last week as a 10-point underdog. New York rushed for only 65 yards in that game after managing just 84 rushing yards in Washington the week before. But the Giants are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games after failing to rush for at least 90 yards in their last game — and they have covered the point spread in 12 of their last 15 tams after failing to rush for at least 100 yards in two straight games. Additionally, New York scored only 7 points in the first half of their game with the Raiders — but they have then covered the point spread in 6 straight games after failing to score more than a touchdown in the first half of their last game. Furthermore, the Giants have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 home games as the underdog. |

12-09-17 | Hurricanes v. Kings -135 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 60 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the money-line on the Los Angeles Kings (74) versus the Carolina Hurricanes (73). Los Angeles (19-8-3) has rattled off seven straight wins after their 4-3 win in overtime over Ottawa on Thursday. The Kings have obviously won 6 straight games after a victory — and they while they have scored at least three goals in their last six games, they have then won 10 of their last 12 games after scoring at least three goals in two straight contests. Los Angeles entered the season at a crossroads after missing the playoffs in the last two seasons after winning the Stanley Cup in the 2014-15 campaign. The optimists contended that some bad luck with injuries and the bounce of the puck accounted for this lapse with the deeper analytics claiming their puck possession and shot percentages should be reaping better results. On the other hand, with this team locked-in to some big salaries, the pessimists suggested that it might be time to blow this team up. The optimists are winning the debate as the Kings have the most points in the Western Conference. A healthy Jonathan Quick makes a big difference — he sports a 2.20 Goals-Against-Average along with a .929 save percentage this season. He is helping this team lead the NHL by allowing only 2.20 Goals-Per-Game — and this teams also leads the league with their Penalty Play Kill Unit success rate of 89%. LA is 9-5-2 at home this season — and they have won 4 of their last 5 games on home ice. The Kings have also won 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. |

12-09-17 | Cincinnati v. Florida +2 | Top | 60-66 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show |
At 6:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Florida Gators (808)plus the point(s) versus the Cincinnati Bearcats (807). Florida (5-3) has lost three straight games after suffering an upset loss to Loyola-Illinois as a big 17-point favorite by 65-59 score back on Wednesday. The Gators were riding high with a win over Gonzaga that they followed up with a gritty but narrow loss to Duke on a neutral court two weeks ago. But then Florida got blown out by 17 points on their home court to Florida State before their loss to the Ramblers. The problems for the Gators are pretty simple to dissect: they have not been able to hit the side of the barn in their last two games while not passing the ball enough to find good shots. Florida made only 2 of their 19 shots from behind the arc against Loyola-Illinois. Over their last three games, they are shooting just 36.6% from the field while making only 8 of their 44 shots from behind the arc for an 18.2% shooting mark. They also have a terrible 14 assists in those three games while committing 25 turnovers which played a role in them not covering the point spread in three straight games. Additionally, Loyola-Illinois made 52% of their shots which is the second best effort any team has shot against the Gators this season. Yes, I am expecting a big bounce back from this team that returned four key pieces from the group that made a run to the Elite Eight last year while adding two solid transfers from Power Five Conference schools. The Gators have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 32 of their last 46 games after failing to cover the point spread in three straight games — and they have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games after getting upset in two straight games as the favorite. And while they managed only 7 assists against the Ramblers, they have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games after failing to register at least 9 assists in their last game. Florida is leading all SEC teams with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.6. In fact, the Gators only turn the ball in 13.4% of their possessions (4th in the nation) which should frustrate this Bearcats team that forces turnovers in 23.2% of their opponent’s possessions which is 32nd in the nation. Florida should find their stroke again — they make 48.6% of their shots when away from home and they are nailing a healthy 39.7% of their shots from behind the arc overall. This game is being played on a neutral court in Newark, New Jersey — and the Gators have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games when playing on a neutral court as an underdog getting 3 points or less. Additionally, Florida has covered the point spread in a decisive 71 of their last 119 situations when the game is listed in the +/- 3-point range including twelve of the last nineteen. |

12-08-17 | Kings v. Pelicans OVER 209.5 | Top | 116-109 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Sacramento Kings (509) and the New Orleans Pelicans (510). New Orleans (13-12) has won two of their last three games with their 123-114 win over Denver on Wednesday. The Pelicans have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after scoring at least 100 points in their last game — and they have played 5 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last contest. The team has been without Anthony Davis for their last three games as he is dealing with a groin injury. The Pelicans hoped he could play tonight but he has been downgraded to doubtful for this contest. His absence probably hurts New Orleans more on defense. Over their last five games with three without Davis, the Pelicans are allowing 117.8 PPG while seeing their opponents shoot 49.1% from the field as compared to the 110.2 PPG they are allowing this season along with an opponents’ field goal goal percentage of 46.2%. But New Orleans is still getting plenty of offensive production from DeMarcus Cousins, Jru Holiday and company. Over their last five games, the Pelicans are scoring 114.2 PPG while shooting 50% from the field which are both well above their 109.4 PPG and 48.3% shooting percentage for the season. Moving forward, New Orleans has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. And while this will be their third straight game at home in the Big Easy, the Pelicans have played 17 of their last 21 home games Over the Total after playing their last two games at home. Additionally, New Orleans has played 5 of their last 6 games on their home court Over the Total. And in their last 5 games against fellow Western Conference opponents, the Pelicans have played all 5 games Over the Total. |

12-07-17 | Saints v. Falcons +1.5 | Top | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
At 8:25 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing the Atlanta Falcons (102) minus the points versus the New Orleans Saints (101). Atlanta (7-5) faces a must-win situation as they find themselves outside the NFC Playoff picture after their 14-9 upset loss as a 2-point favorite to Minnesota on Sunday. But this Falcons team also had a 7-5 record at this point last season — and they, of course, went on to play in the Super Bowl. A tough strength of schedule has contributed to their disappointing results so far relative to their sky-high expectations. Atlanta has four NFC South opponents remaining to close out their schedule — so they still likely control their own destiny. The Falcons have covered the point spread in 19 of their last 27 games after failing to score more than 14 points in their last game. Atlanta has also covered the point spread in 11 of their last 15 games against NFC opponents — and they have also covered the point spread in five of their last seven games against fellow NFC South foes. Furthermore, the Falcons have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games in the month of December. And in their last 7 appearances on Thursday Night Football, Atlanta has covered the point spread in 6 of these games. |

12-06-17 | Pistons +4 v. Bucks | Top | 100-104 | Push | 0 | 4 h 48 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Detroit Pistons (515) plus the points versus the Milwaukee Bucks (516). Detroit (14-9) has dropped three straight games after their 96-93 loss in San Antonio on Monday. The Pistons shot just 41.2% from the field in that game which was their worst shooting effort in their last nine games. Detroit completes their four-game road trip tonight — and they have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after a straight-up loss. The Pistons have covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games against teams with a winning record — and they have won 11 of their last 12 road games against teams with a winning record on their home court. Detroit is looking to avenge a 99-95 loss to the Bucks back on November 15th. But this Milwaukee team is vulnerable to the 3-point shooting attack of a Stan Van Gunny team. The Bucks are last in the NBA with an opponent’s 3-point field goal percentage of 40.2% from then field — and this Pistons team is making 37.8% of their 3-pointers. Additionally, Detroit has covered the point spread in 10 of their last 12 games when the Total is set in the 200 to 209.5 point range. |

12-06-17 | Blackhawks v. Capitals -128 | Top | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 2 h 56 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the money-line on the Washington Capitals (4) versus the Chicago Blackhawks (3). Washington (16-11-1) has won two straight games — as well as five of their last six contests — with their 4-1 win over San Jose on Monday. The Capitals have won a decisive 14 of their last 15 games on their home ice after a victory of at least three goals. Washington has also won 45 of their last 60 games when playing with just one day of rest. The Capitals stay at home where they have won a decisive 37 of their last 51 games. Washington has also won 6 of their last 9 home games with the Total set at 5.5. They will be without their right winger T.J. Oshie tonight who is dealing with an upper body injury. But the Capitals still have a significant edge in goalies tonight with the Blackhawks still without their injuries goaltender Corey Crawford. Washington will likely go with their ace Braden Holtby who sports a dynamite 2.06 Goals-Against-Average along with a .935 save percentage when at home this season. |

12-05-17 | Jazz v. Thunder -7.5 | Top | 94-100 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 29 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the Oklahoma City Thunder (704) minus the points versus the Utah Jazz (703). Oklahoma City (10-12) may be a surprising favorite of 7 or so points considering the trouble they have had in finding a winning chemistry on the court between Russell Westbrook with Paul George and Carmelo Anthony. But the Thunder may have finally made some adjustments that will produce better results. After losing five of six games, Oklahoma City has won two straight contests with their 90-87 win over San Antonio on Sunday. The biggest difference over these last two contests has been Carmelo Anthony — the player I have argued is the key to the success of this team. Anthony had been averaging 16 shots per game — but over the last two games, he has hoisted only seventeen combined shots. Instead, Anthony is passing the ball more as he has averaged 46 passes per game over those two games which is up almost 5 passes per game versus his 41.3 passes per game seasonal average. This is an important divisional matchup for the Thunder — and they look to avenge a 96-87 loss in Utah back on October 21st despite being 4-point favorites in that game. Oklahoma City has covered the point spread in 33 of their last 54 games when playing with same-season revenge against their opponent. The Thunder have also covered the point spread in 20 of their last 26 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. And in their last 13 games with the Total set in the 190-199.5 point range, Oklahoma City has covered the point spread in 9 of these contests. 25* NBA Northwest Divisional Game of the Month on Oklahoma City minus the points.

12-05-17 | Gonzaga v. Villanova -4.5 | Top | 72-88 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show |
At 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the Villanova Wildcats (730) minus the points versus the Gonzaga Bulldogs (729). Gonzaga (7-1) was expected to take a step or two back this season after losing four key players from the team that lost in the National Championship Game to North Carolina last April. The Bulldogs lost their two big men in Przemek Karnowski and Zach Collins along with their best player in point guard Nigel Williams-Goss and starter Jordan Matthews which is simply a ton of talent even for elite program like Duke or Kentucky. Two starters in Johnathan Williams and Josh Perkins along with two players in the regular rotation of minutes return from last year’s team — but expectations have risen pretty quickly for this team once again. Gonzaga has two nice wins against Texas and Creighton while their only loss was a brutal defeat in double-overtime to an excellent Florida team. But the early returns may have this team feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good about themselves relative to the experienced talent on their roster. My read is that this is an overrated team right now — which offers us nice value in this non-conference showdown. The Bulldogs enter this game coming off a 91-74 win over Creighton on December 1st as a 9-point favorite. Gonzaga has then failed to cover the point spread in 6 straight games. The Bulldogs shot 54.4% from the field against the Blue Jays’ often wavering defense — and this was exactly the same mark they shot in their last game against Incarnate Word. But Gonzaga has then failed to cover the point spread in a decisive 84 of their last 142 games after shooting at least 50% in their last two games under head coach Mark Few. The concern for Few has to be 3-point defense as opponents are making 38.7% of their shots from behind the arc which is 285th worst in the nation. Creighton made 12 shots from downtown against the Bulldogs which makes this matchup with Villanova a bit scary. This Gonzaga team is doing a good job of crashing the offensive glass as they are rebounding 35.8% of their missed shots — but the Wildcats are 17th in the nation by limiting their opponents to rebounding only 22.3% of their missed shots. |

12-04-17 | Steelers v. Bengals UNDER 43.5 | Top | 23-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (379) and the Cincinnati Bengals (380). Cincinnati (5-6) exploded for 30 points last week with their 30-16 victory over the winless Bengals as a 7.5-point favorite. The Bengals generated 405 yards of offense which was far above their league-bottom 274.3 total YPG average this season. Cincinnati is scoring only 18.1 PPG which is 25th in the NFL. One of the league’s worst offensive lines is the biggest culprit for these problems on offense and helps to explain why they are 26th in the NFL with the pass (198.6 passing YPG) and last in the league with the run (75.6 rushing YPG). The Bengals have then played 16 of their last 21 games Under the Total after a point spread win — and they have played 12 of their last 16 games Under the Total after a straight up victory. The Cincinnati defense has been solid this season — despite being on the field too much given their anemic offense. The Bengals are 10th in the NFL by allowing just 19.5 PPG. Cincy did give up 361 yards last week — but they have then played 12 of their last 16 games Under the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last game. The Bengals stay at home where they have played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total. Additionally, Cincinnati has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total in the month of December. And in their last 16 games against fellow AFC North opponents, the Bengals have played 12 of these games Under the Total. |

At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Philadelphia Eagles (377) and the Seattle Seahawks (378). Philadelphia (10-1) has won nine straight games with their 31-3 win over Chicago last week. The Eagles offense is clicking on all cylinders right now — they generated 420 yards of offense against an underrated Bears defense. Philadelphia has then played 21 of their last 30 games Over the Total after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. Now the Eagles go back on the road where they have played 14 of their last 17 games Over the Total — and this includes playing four of their last five road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Philadelphia has also played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. Furthermore, the Eagles have played 23 of their last 31 games Over the Total in the month of December. And in their last 11 games played on field turf, Philadelphia has played 9 of these games Over the Total. 25* NFL Sunday Night Football Total of the Year with the Over.

12-03-17 | Colts +10 v. Jaguars | Top | 10-30 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 30 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Indianapolis Colts (363) plus the points versus the Jacksonville Jaguars (364). Indianapolis (3-8) looks to avenge a 27-0 shutout loss at home to these Jaguars back on October 22nd. The Colts have covered the point spread in 3 straight games when playing with revenge from a loss at home to their opponents — and they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games when avenging a loss at home by at least two touchdowns to their opponent. Additionally, Indianapolis has covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games when avenging a loss by at least three touchdowns against their opponents. Furthermore, the Colts have covered the point spread in 14 of their last 21 games when avenging a loss where they failed to score more than 9 points — and this includes covering their last three games in that situation. Indianapolis has lost two straight games as well as five of their last six contests after their 20-16 loss to Tennessee last week as a 3-point underdog. The Colts have then covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after a loss by 6 points or less. Indianapolis has also covered the point spread in a decisive 32 of their last 44 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games after a point spread loss. The Colts have also covered the point spread in 9 of their last 10 games after losing three of their last four games. Indy goes back on the road — but they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games as an underdog getting 3.5 to 9.5 points. |

12-02-17 | Georgia +3 v. Auburn | Top | 28-7 | Win | 100 | 19 h 48 m | Show |
At 4:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Georgia Bulldogs (322) plus the points versus the Auburn Tigers (321). Auburn (10-2) registered one of their biggest wins in school history last Saturday with their 26-14 upset win over a previously undefeated Alabama team as a 6-point underdog. This Tigers team will be hard pressed to not suffer an emotional letdown now after that huge accomplishment. Even worse, they will be playing a Georgia team that they crushed less than a month ago in their 40-17 drubbing of the Bulldogs. We had the Tigers as the small 2.5-point underdog in that contest (our SEC Game of the Year) so those were great results for us — and that result also set up this outstanding situation in the rematch. It is human nature for teams to lack just a little bit of edge after their intense game with Alabama when now facing a team that you just easily handled. And as it is, Auburn has failed to cover the point spread in 3 of their last 4 games after an upset victory as a home under. But the effort from that game may take a toll against this fired-up Georgia team. Running back Kerryon Johnson ran the ball 30 times for 104 yards against the tough Alabama defense which is a lot of work. Furthermore, both the Tigers’ wins against Georgia and Alabama were at home. This game will be played on a neutral field in Atlanta in the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Both of Auburn’s losses were away from home this season — and they average almost 55 YPG (415.6 YPG) below their season average (470.2 total YPG) when playing on the road. |

12-02-17 | Akron v. Toledo UNDER 60 | Top | 28-45 | Loss | -113 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
At 12:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Akron Zips (319) and the Toledo Rockets (320). Akron (7-5) will be playing the Mid-American Championship Game as a significant underdog considering that they were blown out by the Rockets back on October 21st by a 48-21 score in a game that they managed only 333 yards of offense. Since that game, the Zips have won three of their last four games due in large measure to improved play on the defensive side of the football. They clinched the MAC East Title in their last game back on November 21st with their 24-14 in over Kent State as a 14.5-point favorite led by a defense that held the Golden Flashes to just 246 total yards. Over their last three games, Akron is allowing only 353.7 total YPG which is 67.8 YPG below their season average. The Zips have played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 26 of their last 35 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. Additionally, Akron has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 20 points in their last game — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after not allowing more than 275 yards in their last game. Furthermore, the Zips have played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. The offense is an issue with redshirt freshman Kato Nelson taking over for senior Thomas Woodson who was suspended a few weeks ago for violating team rules but will be available to play in this game. Nelson completed only 6 of 20 passes for 69 yards against Kent State last week. Over their last three weeks, Akron has averaged just 302.3 total YPG. Furthermore, this game will be played at Ford Field in Detroit as a neutral site — and the Zips score only 16.7 PPG while averaging 284.7 total YPG when away from home. |

11-30-17 | Redskins v. Cowboys OVER 47 | Top | 14-38 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
At 8:25 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Washington Redskins (301) and the Dallas Cowboys (302). Dallas (5-6) has fallen on hard times after Ezekiel Elliott began serving his six-game suspension as they ave lost three straight games after their 28-6 loss to the Chargers last Thursday on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys’ offense has been a complete disaster as they have scored only a combined 22 points while failing to reach double-digits in all three of those games. Given that, it might be very tempting to take the Under — but this is a good situation to take the contrarian play with the Over. I do expect the Dallas’ offense behind QB Dak Prescott to be much better with a full week of practice under their belts. Remember, the Elliott injury came at the very worst time in terms of the schedule with the Cowboys playing three games over an twelve day period. They simply did not have much time to address the problems with the offense after that Falcons game with the Giants coming to town just four days later. Furthermore, left tackle Tyron Smith has had a full week to getting healthier after the Dallas offense spent the entire first-half in their game last Thursday avoiding running the ball to his side. But even if the Cowboys’ offense remains limited without Elliott, the defense presents another set of problems for this team. The Dallas defense has surrendered 92 combined points over their last three games. At home this season, the Cowboys are allowing 25.8 PPG along with 368.0 total YPG. Additionally, Dallas has played 6 of their last 7 home games Over the Total against teams with a losing record on the road — and linebacker Sean Lee has been declared out for this game once again this week. |

11-29-17 | Duke -8.5 v. Indiana | Top | 91-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show |
At 9:30 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Duke Blue Devils (765) minus the points versus the Indiana Hoosiers (766). Duke (8-0) is absolutely loaded with talent this season — this as an impressive a Blue Devils team as I have seen in many years. They should overwhelm this Hoosiers team that is in a major rebuilding mode after Tom Crean was let go and three of his players left the program to take their chances in the professional ranks. Duke did not play particularly well Sunday night but did what they needed to do to rally from an early 15-point lead and then another 14-point deficit with under 10 minutes to go to take an 87-84 victory. The Blue Devils only shot 43.9% from the field — but they did make 10 of their 23 shots from the 3-point line (43.5%). Frankly, this team is like the big and powerful North Carolina teams of the last few seasons — except this team will shoot and make more 3-pointers. 6’11 freshman Marvin Bagley deserves the hype he is receiving — he averaged 26.5 PPG while pulling down 13.5 Rebounds-Per-Game in four games last week. He is joined by 6’10 freshman Wendell Carter to give this team incredible size down low. The Blue Devils lead the nation by pulling down 43.2% of their missed shots. Mike Krzyzewski has embraced shot volume as his team’s defining characteristic — and that has helped them lead the nation in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency so far this season. Look for Duke to build off this momentum as they are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a straight-up win. The Blue Devils have also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games against Big Ten opponents. Additionally, Duke is 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. And in the last 7 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60%, the Blue Devils are 6-0-1 ATS. |

11-29-17 | Wizards v. 76ers -6.5 | Top | 113-118 | Loss | -102 | 1 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Philadelphia 76ers (702) minus the points versus the Washington Wizards (701). Washington (11-9) had lost four of their last five games before they pulled a 92-89 upset win at Minnesota last night. But the Wizards have then failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games after a straight-up win. Washington has also failed to cover the point spread in 15 of their last 20 games after an upset win on the road as an underdog. This team remains without John Wall who is dealing with a knee injury so the Wizards will be without their best player again tonight. Now this team travels without a day of rest to travel to Philadelphia where they have failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games. Furthermore, Washington has failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games against Eastern Conference opponents. |

11-29-17 | Liverpool v. Stoke City OVER 3 | Top | 3-0 | Push | 0 | 0 h 21 m | Show |
At 3:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total (of 3.0) in the match between Stoke City (35568) and Liverpool (35567). Liverpool (6-5-2) returns to the pitch looking to get back into the Top Four of the English Premier League table after falling to 6th place on Saturday with their 1-1 draw with Chelsea. That was the second straight match where the Reds surrendered a lead after blowing a 3-0 lead last Tuesday in a midweek Champions League match with Sevilla that ended in a 3-3 draw. Defense was an issue for this team last year that lacks depth in their back-line and too often plays sloppy in manager Jurgen Clop’s high-pressing system. Liverpool has allowed 16 goals in their six matches on the road in EPL action this season. But the Pool Boys are a powerful on offense as they are 3rd in the EPL with 25 goals for the year. Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino did not play in that match against Chelsea as they were given the day off after that Champions League match. Both players should be back on the pitch this afternoon which will boost their offensive attack. |

11-28-17 | Nuggets +2 v. Jazz | Top | 77-106 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
At 10:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the Denver Nuggets (507) plus the points versus the Utah Jazz (508). Denver (11-8) has won six of their last nine games with their 104-92 victory over Memphis on Friday. The team shot 50.6% from the field while dominating the boards by out-rebounding the Grizzlies by a 50-23 margin. The team is with Paul Millsap who is dealing with a wrist injury — but his absence has pushed their 7’0 rising star in Nikola Jokic to take on more of a leadership role on the court. The 22-year old has scored 20.3 PPG while adding 11.0 Rebounds-Per-Game and 4.7 Assists-Per-Game in the three games since Millsap has been out. The Nuggets will be well rested for this contest — and they are 35-14-2 ATS in their last 51 games when playing with at least three days of rest. Denver has also covered the points spread in 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a losing record. Additionally, the Nuggets have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Furthermore, Denver has covered the point spread in 44 of their last 72 road games as the underdog. |

11-27-17 | Texans v. Ravens OVER 39 | Top | 16-23 | Push | 0 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Texans (275) and the Baltimore Ravens (276). Baltimore (5-5) pitched their third shutout of the season — and second in their last three games — with their 23-0 win at Green Bay last Sunday. The strong Ravens’ defense has facilitated the Total being set at a low number below 40 (as of this writing) — so lets attack that Over. Baltimore has played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after not allowing more than 14 points in their last game. Additionally, the Ravens have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after the first month of the season. And while this Baltimore offense looks anemic with their 21.3 PPG scoring mark which is 18th in the league, they are getting better on that side of the ball as they get healthier after suffering from a barrage of injuries. In their last three games, the Ravens are scoring 27.7 PPG while still not getting very aggressive with their play-calling with their two of those games being blowout shutouts. Their close game in their last three games was a 23-20 loss at Tennessee in a game where Joe Flacco aired the football out 53 times for 268 passing yards. Those are Over numbers. Moving forward, Baltimore has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against AFC opponents. |

11-26-17 | Packers +14 v. Steelers | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Green Bay Packers (273) plus the points versus the Pittsburgh Steelers (274). These are too many points to pass up in this situation — even with Aaron Rodgers not playing for the Packers. Pittsburgh (8-2) finally demonstrated the vast potential that many pundits feel they possess back on November 16th when they crushed the Colts by a 40-17 score as 7-point favorites. Yet they only outgained Indianapolis by 27 yards. It was a +4 net turnover margin that helped the Steelers dominate that game. But Pittsburgh has then failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a point spread victory. And the Steelers have failed to cover the point spread in 26 of their last 38 games when installed as a double-digit favorite. Additionally, Pittsburgh has failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games in the month of November. |

11-26-17 | Calgary v. Toronto +7.5 | Top | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 4 h 30 m | Show |
At 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Toronto Argonauts (656) plus the points versus the Calgary Stampeders (655). Calgary (14-4-1) has made the long trek back to the Grey Cup Championship Game after an epic CFL campaign last year was ruined with a 39-33 loss in overtime to Ottawa on the last Sunday in November last season. The Stampeders kept most of their core intact to redeem themselves from last year’s disappointment — and they tore through the regular season which afforded them the opportunity to rest players to be as prepared as physically possible to win the championship this year. I thought the Stamps would come out like gangbusters last week hosting the West Division Final against Edmonton — but they were flat and fell behind by a 14-0 score before rallying to take a 22-15 lead going into halftime and surviving a 32-28 victory over the Eskimos. Edmonton head coach Jason Maas committed a bonehead call of the ages late in that game when he elected to have his team kick a short field goal rather than go for in on 3rd and four (or so — this all going off memory having watched that game, usually I would refer back to the official boxscore). Maas’ decision ruined our point spread cover with the Stamps laying 5 points — but it also cost his team a real chance of pulling the upset if they would have converted that 3rd down and scored a touchdown (or, Coach Maas, if you would have turned the ball over on downs but your defense then forced Calgary to punt — like they would have needed to anyways with successful field goal — your team could have still had time to score a game-tying (or winning with a 2-point conversion) touchdown. The Stampeders were outgained in yardage in that game — and that effort compels me to believe that nothing will be easy for this team if they do accomplish their goal of winning the Grey Cup for the first time since 2014. Regulars know I like to analyze team trends to identify a personality of a team to help diagnose how they have reacted to similar situations. The numbers scream out in this situation. The Stampeders have failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games against teams with a winning record. They are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games on the road — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 playoff games on the road. Furthermore, Calgary is 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games in the playoffs — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last Grey Cups. The Stamps have also failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games in the month of November. This game is being played on a neutral field in Ottawa — but that is doing no favors this Calgary team out west. They are only outgaining their opponents by +4.0 PPG away from home — and the most telling stat is that they are only outgaining these teams by +2.4 YPG given suspect play from their defense that allows 356.6 total YPG away from home. |

11-26-17 | Jaguars v. Cardinals +5.5 | Top | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show |
At 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Arizona Cardinals (270) plus the points versus the Jacksonville Jaguars (269). Jacksonville (7-3) has won four games in a row after their 19-7 win in Cleveland last week as a 7.5-point favorite. The Jaguars have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 of the last 5 games after a point spread victory. Jacksonville has also failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after allowing less than 15 points in their last game. Defense has been leading the way for this team — they held the Browns to only 184 yards of offense. But the Jaguars have failed to cover the point spread in 15 of their last 19 games after not allowing more than 200 yards in their last game. Furthermore, Jacksonville has failed to cover the points spread in 8 of their last 9 games against fellow NFC opponents. 25* NFL Game of the Month with Arizona plus the points. Best of luck for us -- Frank. |

11-25-17 | Texas A&M v. LSU UNDER 51 | Top | 21-45 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 19 m | Show |
At 7:30 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Texas A&M Aggies (199) and the LSU Tigers (200). Texas A&M (7-4) will be playing one for their head coach Kevin Sumlin who has been reported by the Houston Chronicle earlier this week that he will be relieved of his coaching duties win or loss after this game. Expect the Aggies to play hard — particularly on defense — in this contest. Texas A&M comes off a 31-24 victory at Ole Miss last week as a 2.5-point favorite. The Aggies have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a point spread setback. Additionally, Texas A&M has played 6 straight games Under the Total after a close victory by 7 points or less against a conference rival. Now the Aggies stay on the road where they have played 10 of their last 14 games Under the Total — and this includes playing 8 of their last 9 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. |

11-25-17 | Iowa State +2 v. Kansas State | Top | 19-20 | Win | 100 | 2 h 47 m | Show |
At 3:30 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Iowa State Cyclones (163) plus the points versus the Kansas State Wildcats (164). Kansas State (6-5) enters this game coming off a big 45-40 upset victory on the road at Oklahoma State last week as a 19.5-point underdog. The Wildcats won that game despite losing the first down battle by a 30-18 margin while being outgained by 89 yards. Expect Kansas State to suffer a letdown in this game against a feisty Cyclones team. The Wildcats have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after a point spread win. Kansas State did rush for 217 yards in that game — but they are then just 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games after rushing for at least 200 yards in their last game. And in their last 10 home games as the favorite rather than the underdog role that head coach Bill Snyder loves to have his team embrace, the Wildcats have failed to cover the point spread in 7 of these games. |

11-25-17 | Ohio State -12 v. Michigan | Top | 31-20 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 41 m | Show |
At 12:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Ohio State Buckeyes (153) minus the points versus the Michigan Wolverines (154). Michigan (8-3) limps into The Game coming off a 24-10 loss at Wisconsin last week as a 6.5-point underdog. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, they lost their redshirt freshman quarterback Brandon Peters to a concussion in that game (which likely also cost them the point spread cover — and perhaps even an outright victory). Peters has not practiced this week with head coach Jim Harbaugh mum on who will be under center for his offense. The answer is likely John O’Korn despite the fact that the 5th year senior has been completely ineffective operating the passing game after he took over for the injured Wilton Spright. The fundamental problem for O’Korn is his inability to grasp the skills in reading progressions after his primary initial receiver. The book was written on O’Korn by the end of his freshman season at Houston — and it is the reason he was eventually benched his sophomore year. And despite Quarterback Camps and transferring to play for the Quarterback Whisperer in Harbaugh, O’Korn simply has not been able to develop this skill. It happens. But now defenses can cheat in coverage and in stacking the box to stop the run based off his initial movements — and this gives opposing defenses too much of an advantage because O’Korn has not shown the ability to burn them. As it is, Michigan is 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games after a straight-up loss. And while the Wolverines managed just 234 yards of offense against the Badgers, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after failing to gain at least 275 yards of offense. The Big House has not been much of an advantage for this team as of late either as they have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 home games — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of their last 5 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. And in their last 4 games against teams with a winning record, the Wolverines are 0-3-1 ATS. |

11-24-17 | Northern Illinois -3 v. Central Michigan | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 58 m | Show |
At 12:00 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Northern Illinois Huskies (121) minus the points versus the Central Michigan Chippewas (122). Northern Illinois (8-3) still has an outside chance to win the MAC West title and play in next Friday’s Mid-American Conference Championship Game with a victory in this game along with a loss by Toledo in their game concurrently going on with Western Michigan. The Huskies have won two straight games since their loss to the Rockets after their 35-31 win over Western Michigan as an 8.5-point favorite. Northern Illinois has then covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a point spread loss. The Huskies rushed for 248 yards in that victory — and they are then 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 games after rushing for at least 200 yards in their last game. Northern Illinois averages 191.8 rushing YPG — and they should have success running the football against this Chippewas defense that ranks 98th in the FBS by allowing 195.5 rushing YPG. Ground games travel which is one of the reasons why Northern Illinois is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning record at home. The Huskies have also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 11 road games when favored by 3 points or less. And in their last 21 games in the month of November, Northern Illinois is 14-6-1 ATS. |

11-23-17 | Giants v. Redskins -7 | Top | 10-20 | Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing the Washington Redskins (112) minus the points versus the New York Giants (111). Washington (4-6) looks to bounce-back from their heartbreaking 34-31 overtime loss in New Orleans last Sunday. The Skins have rebounded to cover the point spread in 10 of their last 14 games after a straight-up loss. That loss may have cost this Washington team a realistic shot of making the playoffs — but after being riddled with injuries all season, one consistent characteristic of this group which has been epitomized by QB Kirk Cousins has been their resiliency. Look for the benefit of playing this game at home on a short week to help this team tonight where they are outgaining their opponent by +60.4 net YPG. The Skins have played two straight high-scoring games where 65 and 68 combined points have been scored — and they have then covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after playing at least two straight games where at least 30 combined points were scored. Washington did allow 375 passing yards last week to the Saints — but they have then covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games after allowing at least 250 passing yards in their last game. And while the Skins have not covered the point spread in five of their last seven games, they have then covered the point spread in 36 of their last 59 games after failing to cover the spread in five or six of their last seven games — including three straight. Washington has covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games in the month of November. The Skins have also covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games against teams with a winning record. And they will be looking to avenge a 19-10 upset loss to the Giants back on January 1st despite being a 9.5-point favorite in that game. |

11-23-17 | Vikings v. Lions UNDER 45.5 | Top | 30-23 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 37 m | Show |
At 12:30 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Minnesota Vikings (107) and the Detroit Lions (108). Minnesota (8-2) stymied the high-powered Rams offense on Sunday in their 24-7 victory where they held that Sean McVay offense to just 254 total yards. The Vikings should continue to flex their muscles on defense as they have played 10 of their last 14 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 25 of their last 37 games Under the Total after a win by at least two touchdowns. Minnesota did generate 451 yards against the Rams’ defense — but the Under is 17-7-1 in their last 25 games after generating at least 350 yards in their last game. Now the Vikings go on the road where they have played 8 of their last 9 road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Minnesota has also played 20 of their last 28 games Under the Total with the number set in the 42.5 to 49 point range. And in their last 23 games against fellow NFC North opponents, the Vikings have played 18 of these games Under the Total. Furthermore, Minnesota has played 7 of their last 10 games played on a short week on a Thursday Under the Total. |

11-22-17 | Sharks v. Coyotes UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 3 m | Show |
At 9:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the San Jose Sharks (73) and the Arizona Coyotes (74). San Jose (10-8-0) looks to snap their three-game losing streak with their 3-2 loss to Anaheim on Monday. The Sharks have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after failing to score more than two goals in their last game. Scoring has been an issue for this team — as epitomized by the play of defenseman Brett Burns who has yet to score this season while registering a mere 7 points in nineteen games after being one of the best offensive players on the blue-line in the entire NHL. San Jose is getting outstanding play from their goalie Martin Jones when on the road this year where he owns an outstanding 1.01 Goals-Against-Average along with a .967 save percentage in four starts. The Sharks have played 4 straight games Under the Total on the road. San Jose has also seen the Under go 5-1-1 in their last 6 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% at home. Furthermore, the Under is a decisive 30-11-18 in the Sharks’ last 59 games against fellow Pacific Division opponents. |

11-22-17 | Clippers -2.5 v. Hawks | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Los Angeles Clippers (507) minus the points versus the Atlanta Hawks (508). Los Angeles (5-11) is desperate for a victory having dropped nine straight games and eleven of their last twelve after their embarrassing 107-85 loss in New York to the Knicks as a 1.5-point favorite. The Clippers have bounced back to cover the pint spread in 5 of their last 8 games after a loss by at least 20 points. And while that setback to the Knicks came on the heels to their 15-point loss in Charlotte on Saturday, Doc Rivers’ team has then covered the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games after losing two straight games by double-digits. Despite moving on Chris Paul, the Clippers were considering a sleeper team to still compete in the Western Conference given some savvy pickups that offered Rivers more depth than perhaps at any time in his tenure in Los Angeles. But injuries have impacted this team with 6’10 forward Danilo Gallinari and point guard Patrick Beverley both missing time — and they were likely the top two offseason acquisitions of the nine new players on this season’s roster. Beverley did return to the court on Monday and logged in 22 minutes so he should be able to log in more time tonight. Even without Gallinari, there is plenty of talent on this team with Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Austin Rivers being joined by Beverley and Lou Williams among others. (6 PM ET UPDATE: Beverley re-injured himself and will miss significant time. With the Clippers still having Williams and Rivers in the backcourt and the team likely all stepping up with the news of this injury, this remains a strong 25* play -- Thanks, Frank). Not having won a game since November 1st, the Clippers need to take advantage of this opportunity in facing a lowly Hawks team. It is telling that the oddsmakers still have Los Angeles favored despite this losing streak — and they have covered the point spread in 22 of their last 36 road games when laying no more than 6 points as the favorite. The Clippers have also covered the point spread in 17 of their last 27 road games when listed in the +/- 3-point range. And in their last 5 games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%, LA has covered the point spread in 4 of these contests. Additionally, this is the fifth straight game for this team against Eastern Conference opponents as they continue this east coast swing — and they have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games after playing at least three straight games against Eastern Conference foes. |

11-20-17 | Falcons v. Seahawks +1 | Top | 34-31 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 2 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing the Seattle Seahawks (476) plus (or minus) the points versus the Atlanta Falcons (475). Seattle (6-3) has won five of their last six games with their 22-16 win at Arizona back on November 9th. This Seahawks team is battered with injuries with Richard Sherman and like Kam Chancellor likely out the season. But the team still has QB Russell Wilson and the group does have the benefit of having eleven days off to rest and prepare for this game. Seattle has covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. And while the Seahawks have held their last two opponents to just 34 and 51 rushing yards in their last two games, they have then covered the point spread in 12 of their last 15 home games after not allowing more than 75 rushing yards in each of their last two games. Seattle is also 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games in the month of November. And in their last 11 games played on Monday Night Football, the Seahawks are 8-2-1 ATS. |

11-19-17 | Eagles v. Cowboys OVER 48 | Top | 37-9 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Philadelphia Eagles (473) and the Dallas Cowboys (474). Philadelphia (8-1) returns from their bye week off coming off a 51-23 win over the Broncos back on November 5th. The Eagles have then played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after a win by at least two touchdowns. Philadelphia generated 419 yards in that victory — and they have then played 21 of their last 30 games Over the Total after averaging at least 350 yards in their last game. One of the reasons that is making the Eagles so tough this season is their Red Zone offense as they are tops in the league in that category with QB Carson Wentz throwing 15 passing TDs in the Red Zone with zero interceptions. This efficiency has helped them score 31.4 PPG which is second best in the NFL so far this season. The Philly defense has also been outstanding as they held the Broncos to just 226 yards of offense. But the Over is then 16-6-2 in the Eagles’ last 24 games after allowing less than 250 yards in their last game. Now this team goes on the road where they have played 14 of their last 16 games Over the Total — and this includes playing four of their last five road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Philadelphia has also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 12 games against fellow NFC East rivals, the Eagles have played 10 of these games Over the Total. |

11-19-17 | Edmonton v. Calgary -5 | Top | 28-32 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
At 4:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Calgary Stampeders (654) minus the points versus the Edmonton Eskimos (653). Calgary (13-4-1) enters the playoffs having lost three straight games after they were upset in their last regular season game by West Division rival Winnipeg back on November 3rd by a 23-5 score as an 8.5-point favorite. Starting QB Bo Levi Mitchell along with a number of other core players did not play in that game to rest and prepare for the playoffs. It has been Grey Cup Championship or bust for this team all season after they enjoyed one of the most dominant regular season campaigns in Canadian Football League history last year with a 15-2-1 record before getting stunned in the Grey Cup Final to Ottawa in a 39-33 overtime loss. I think this team looks poised to explode with a big game against an Eskimos team that just defeated them by a 29-20 score back on October 28th. Calgary has covered the point spread in 23 of their last 33 games after an upset loss to a division rival in their last game. The Stampeders have also covered the point spread in 35 of their last 51 games after a straight-up win — and they have covered the point spread in 36 of their last 51 games after a point spread victory. Additionally, Calgary has covered the point spread in 18 of their last 22 games after a game where 31 or fewer combined points were scored. The Stamps are also 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games against fellow West Division rivals. Home field advantage will play a big role as well as they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games at home. And in their last 16 home games with the Total set in the 49.5 to 56 point range, Calgary has covered the point spread 12 times. With most of the team intact from the disappointing end from last season, expect a big effort from this Stampeders team. |

11-19-17 | Bengals v. Broncos -2.5 | Top | 20-17 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
At 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Denver Broncos (470) minus the points versus the Cincinnati Bengals (469). Denver (3-6) has lost five straight games after their embarrassing 41-16 loss to New England last Sunday night. The Broncos were only outgained by 57 yards in that game which typically indicates a closer game — but everything went wrong for this Denver team that blew this game (and our big play with the Under) due to terrible special teams play. John Elway labeled his team “soft” after that game — and his calling out his personnel should motivate the team to erase their losing streak and get back into the winning column as they are all playing for their jobs. As it is, the Broncos have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a loss at home by at least three touchdowns. And while Denver has not covered the point spread in six of their last seven games, the Broncos have then covered the point spread in 14 of their last 21 games after failing to cover the point spread in six or seven of their last eight games. Denver has also covered the point spread in 10 of their last 14 games after allowing at least 30 points in their last game. And while the “No Fly Zone” defense allowed Tom Brady to pass for 266 yards in that game, the Broncos have then covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games after allowing at least 250 passing yards in their last game. Despite giving up 92 points in their last two games, this Denver defense still ranks 5th in the NFL by allowing only 293.6 total YPG. |

11-19-17 | Lions v. Bears +3 | Top | 27-24 | Push | 0 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Chicago Bears (452) plus the points versus the Detroit Lions (451). Chicago (3-6) looks to bounce-back from their 23-16 upset loss at home to Green Bay last week as a 4.5-point favorite. The Bears have rebounded to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games after a straight-up loss — and they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after a point spread setback. They are getting better play out of rookie QB Mitch Trubisky who completed 21 of 35 passes for 297 yards and a TD pass against the Packers defense. In his last two starts at home in Soldier Field, Trubisky has averaged a 9.62 Yards-Per-Passing-Attempt ratio along with a Passer Rating of 99.7. Chicago remains a tough team when playing at home as they have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games — and they have failed to cover the point spread in five straight home games against teams with a winning record on the road. The Bears have also covered then point spread in 7 of their last 9 games against teams with a winning record. And in their last 8 games in the month of November, Chicago has covered the point spread 6 times. |

11-18-17 | Central Florida v. Temple +13 | Top | 45-19 | Loss | -103 | 3 h 14 m | Show |
At 12:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Temple Owls (332) plus the points versus the Central Florida Knights (331). Central Florida (9-0) is one of three undefeated teams left in the FBS after their 49-24 win over UConn last week. The stakes are high for this Knights team — not only do they want to run the table to win the American Athletic Conference but they would also like to represent the non-Power Five schools in one of the New Year’s Six Bowl games while still holding out for an outside chance to make the College Football Playoff if more of the big boys suffer losses. But this is a tough matchup for a team that might be a bit distracted right now. Head coach Scott Frost is subject of rumors regarding the open head coaching openings in Tennessee and Florida. This team also has a huge matchup on deck next Friday with South Florida. And, frankly, the weather will not do this Florida team in favors although the temperature looks to be in the low 50s for this game so it could be worse. As it is, Central Florida has failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games in the month of November. This team is also just 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games after a straight-up loss. The Knights failed to cover the massive 39-point line against the Huskies last week — and they have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games after a point spread loss. Sophomore QB McKenzie Milton did pass for 311 yards in the win over UConn — but UCF is then 12-27-1 ATS in their last 40 games after passing for at least 280 yards in their last game. The Knights run defense surrendered 212 yards in that victory — but they have then failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games after allowing at least 200 rushing yards in their last game. |

At 7:05 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Miami Heat (703) plus the points versus the Washington Wizards (704). Miami (6-8) has lost two straight games after their 102-93 upset loss to the Wizards at home on Wednesday as a 2-point favorite. The Heat have bounced back to cover the point spread in 14 of their last 19 games after an upset loss as a home favorite. Miami has also covered the point spread in 22 of their last 32 games when avenging an upset loss against their opponent. Now the Heat go on the road where they have covered the point spread in 11 of their last 15 games. Miami has also covered the point spread in 9 of their last 11 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road. And while the Heat have failed to cover the point spread in two straight games, they have then covered the point spread in 10 straight road games after failing to cover the point spread in two straight games. And in their last 31 games against the Wizards, Miami is 22-8-1 ATS. |

11-16-17 | Rockets v. Suns OVER 228 | Top | 142-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
At 10:35 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Rockets (503) and the Phoenix Suns (504). Houston (11-4) saw their six-game winning streak snapped on Tuesday with their 1219-113 loss to Toronto despite being a 6.5-point favorite in that game. Chris Paul may take the court again for the Rockets which does not shape much into the rationale for this play (outside of helping this Houston team ensure they always have a potent point guard on the court since the original plan was to have one of these two stars on the court at all times this season). The Rockets shot just 41.8% from the field against the Raptors which was their worst shooting effort in their last seven games. Expect Houston to get back to their torrid shooting pace as they are scoring 119.2 PPG over their last five games while nailing 48% of their shots even with their poor performance on Tuesday during that span. But the Rockets’ style of play does allow the opposition to find easy shots on their own. Over their last five games, Houston is allowing 108.6 PPG while seeing these opponents make 48.5% of their shots. The Rockets have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total after a double-digit loss at home. Houston has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. The Rockets have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total when playing with one day of rest. Additionally, Houston has played a decisive 38 of their last 53 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage below 40% — and they have played 6 straight Overs against teams with a losing record. And in their last 24 road games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on their home court, the Rockets have played 17 of these games Over the Total. |

11-16-17 | Titans v. Steelers -7 | Top | 17-40 | Win | 105 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
At 8:25 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing the Pittsburgh Steelers (312) minus the points versus the Tennessee Titans (311). Pittsburgh (7-2) has won four straight games with their 20-17 win at Indianapolis last week as a 10.5-point favorite. The Steelers are then 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games after a point spread loss. Now Pittsburgh returns home after playing their last two games on the road — and they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games on their home field at Heinz Field. Surprisingly, the Steelers have twice as many games on the road as they have at home where they will be playing just their fourth game this season. But Pittsburgh is outgaining their opponents by +132.3 net YPG at home this season based on a stout defense that is holding their opponents to only 243.0 total YPG. The Steelers boast an underrated defense that is allowing just 16.4 PPG along with only 284.4 total YPG which are both 2nd best in the league. Le’Veon Bell rushed for just 80 yards on 26 carries in that game as the Steelers managed just 88 yards in that game — but they have then covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after failing to rush for at least 90 yards in their last game. This team did flex their muscles on defense as they held the Titans to just 267 total yards of offense. Now Mike Tomlin’s team plays on a short week — and they are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games on Thursday Night Football. |

11-13-17 | Grizzlies v. Bucks UNDER 200 | Top | 103-110 | Loss | -107 | 2 h 26 m | Show |
At 8:05 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Memphis Grizzlies (705) and the Milwaukee Bucks (706). Memphis (7-5) has lost four of their last six games with their 111-96 loss at Houston on Saturday. The Grizzlies have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last game. Despite moving on from Zach Randolph and defensive wizard Tony Allen in the offseason who were the face of their “Grit-n-Grind” identity, this Memphis team still is playing great defense. Opposing teams are shooting just 42.6% from the field this season. Now this team stays on the road for their fifth straight contest — and they have played 14 of their last 19 games Under the Total after playing at least three straight games on the road. The Under is also 4-1-1 in their last 6 games when playing with one day of rest. Furthermore, the Under is 11-5-1 in the Grizzlies last 17 games when playing on the road. And in their last 7 games with the Total set in the 200 to 209.5 point range, the game finished Under the Total 5 times. |

11-12-17 | Patriots v. Broncos UNDER 44.5 | Top | 41-16 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 16 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the New England Patriots (273) and the Denver Broncos (274). Denver (3-5) embarrassed themselves last week by losing in Philadelphia to the Eagles by a 51-23 score as a 7-point underdog. After surrendering over 50 points, expect this proud “No Fly Zone” Broncos’ defense to step up in this opportunity to make a statement against Tom Brayed and this Patriots’ offense. Denver has played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a straight-up defeat — and they have played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. The Broncos surrendered 197 rushing yards in that game to the Eagles — but they have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after allowing at least 150 rushing yards in their last game. Denver has bigger issues on offense with Brock Osweiler under center for an ineffective Trevor Siemian. The Broncos managed only 226 yards of offense last week — and they have then played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after failing to generate at least 250 yards in their last game. Additionally, Denver has played 7 of their last 8 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. |

11-12-17 | Cowboys v. Falcons -3 | Top | 7-27 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
At 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Atlanta Falcons (270) minus the points versus the Dallas Cowboys (269). Atlanta (4-4) looks to bounce-back from their 20-17 upset loss on the road at Carolina last week as a 3-point underdog. The Falcons finally return home back to their new Mercedes-Benz Stadium after playing the last three games on the road. Julio Jones practiced this week and should be in better health for this team that really needs a signature win to rebuild their mojo. Despite last week’s loss to the Panthers, this Atlanta team is still in fine shape in the NFC playoff race with a 4-1 record against NFC opponents and five games remaining still against their NFC South rivals. The Falcons have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 11 games against fellow NFC rivals. They need to get their ground game going after rushing for just 53 yards last week. Atlanta has covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after failing to rush for at least 90 yards in their last game. The Falcons defense surrendered 201 rushing yards to Carolina — but they are then 37-14-1 ATS in their last 52 games after allowing at least 150 rushing yards in their last game. |

11-09-17 | North Carolina v. Pittsburgh UNDER 52.5 | Top | 34-31 | Loss | -103 | 3 h 59 m | Show |
At 7:30 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the North Carolina Tar Heels (117) and the Pittsburgh Panthers (118). North Carolina (1-8) has lost six straight games in a disaster of a season with their 24-19 loss to Miami (FL) two Saturdays ago as a 21-point underdog. Larry Fedora’s team is a M*A*S*H unit this season with injuries on the offensive line particularly hurting this team from week-to-week. The Tar Heels rank 109th in the FBS by scoring 21.3 PPG while ranking 108th in the FBS any averaging 344.2 total YPG. On the road, North Carolina sees their yardage numbers drop to 310.0 total YPG. And over their last three games, the Tar Heels are scoring just 13.3 PPG while averaging 285.7 total YPG. North Carolina has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after failing to score more than 20 points in their last game. The Tar Heels have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. And while UNC covered the three-touchdown spread against the Hurricanes, they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a point spread victory. The defense does seem to be playing better after limiting the Miami (FL) rushing attack to just 59 yards in that game. Over their last three games, they are holding their opponents to just 17.4 PPG while allowing more than 46 YPG below their season average. The Tar Heels have played 12 of the last 14 games Under the Total after the first month of the season. North Carolina has also played 4 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning record at home. Moving forward, the Tar Heels have played 9 of their last 11 games Under the Total as an underdog. And in their last 8 games played on a Thursday night, North Carolina has played all 8 games Under the Total. |

11-05-17 | Bucs +7 v. Saints | Top | 10-30 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 34 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (455) plus the points versus the New Orleans Saints (456). Tampa Bay (2-5) will be playing with desperation this afternoon after they were upset last week against another divisional rival at home against Carolina as a 1.5-point favorite. The Buccaneers have lost four in a row with critics blaming the old canard regarding this team lacking an “identity” on offense. A healthier Jameis Winston will help as he has been banged up over the last few weeks. The good news is that Winston has practiced more this week than he has since getting injured and he claims he is feeling better. Tampa Bay has rebounded to cover the point spread in 6 straight games after a double-digit loss at home. The Buccaneers have also covered the point spread in 10 of their last 14 games after failing to score more than 14 points in their last game. Tampa Bay also needs to get their running game going with Doug Martin back from his suspension. The Bucs have not rushed for more than 90 yards in each of their last four contests — and they have then covered the point spread in 23 of their last 33 games after failing to rush for at least 100 yards in at least three straight games. Tampa Bay is 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 games in the month of November. The Buccaneers are also 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games against teams with a winning record at home. And in their last 30 road games after losing five or six of their last seven contests, Tampa Bay has failed to cover the point spread in 21 of these contests. 25* NFC South Game of the Month with Tampa Bay plus the points. Best of luck for us -- Frank. |

11-04-17 | Western Kentucky v. Vanderbilt OVER 53.5 | Top | 17-31 | Loss | -102 | 2 h 8 m | Show |
At 12:00 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (377) and the Vanderbilt Commodores (378). Vanderbilt (3-5) has lost five straight games with their 34-27 loss at South Carolina last Saturday. The Commodores have then played 5 straight games Over the Total after a straight-up loss. Now Vanderbilt returns home where they have played 8 of their last 9 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Gone are the salad days of September when this team went into their meeting with Alabama with the best statistical defense in the nation. Over their last three games, the Commodores have given up 45.3 PPG along with 512.7 total YPG. Vandy allowed 212 rushing yards to the Gamecocks last week — and they have then played 5 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least 200 rushing yards in their last game. The Commodores’ offense has kicked into another gear with junior QB Kyle Shurmur completing 27 of 49 passes for 333 yards and 3 TDs against South Carolina. This team is scoring 25.3 PPG over their last three games while averaging 364.3 total YPG which is well above their 314.9 total YPG seasonal average. |

11-03-17 | Marshall +7 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 25-30 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
At 6:00 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Marshall Thundering Herd (317) plus the points versus the Florida Atlantic Owls (318). Marshall (6-2) saw their five-game winning streak snapped last Saturday in their 41-30 loss to Florida International despite being a 14.5-point favorite. The Thundering Herd suffered from a -3 net turnover margin in that game which included a 12-yard interception return for a touchdown by the Golden Panthers. Those turnovers overwhelmed the Thundering Herd’s 29 to 21 first down margin as well as their +104 net yardage advantage (505 yards to 401 yards) in that game. Now an underdog on the road, look for Marshall to bounce-back with a big effort. The Thundering Herd are 3-1-1 ATS after a double-digit win at home — and they are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a point spread loss. Marshall has also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games after winning four of their last five contests. Additionally, the Thundering Herd have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games after gaining at least 450 yards in their last contest — and they are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing at least 40 points in their last contest. They are outgaining their Conference USA opponents by +141 net YPG which is a better mark than the Owls +125 net YPG mark in conference play. |

11-02-17 | Bills v. Jets UNDER 43 | Top | 21-34 | Loss | -118 | 6 h 3 m | Show |
At 8:25 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Buffalo Bills (307) and the New York Jets (308). New York (3-5) looks to snap a three-game losing streak tonight after they lost by a 25-20 score at home versus Atlanta on Sunday as a 6.5-point underdog. The Jets managed only 43 rushing yards in that game — and they have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total. New York was outrushed by 97 yards in that contest — and they have then played 25 of their last 37 home games Under the Total after being out rushed by at least 75 yards. And while the Falcons outgained them by 107 net yards, the Jets have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after being outgained by at least 100 yards. New York allowed 386 yards to Atlanta in that game — but they have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least 350 yards in their last contest. The Jets do play better defense at home where they are holding their opponents to just 18.2 PPG along with 324.2 total YPG which is 5 points fewer along with -37.2 net YPG lower than their seasonal averages. This shapes up to be low scoring game with both teams on a short week and when considering that New York has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against fellow AFC East opponents. These two teams have also played 5 of their last 6 meetings Under the Total. |

11-01-17 | Astros +1.5 v. Dodgers | Top | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
At 8:20 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Houston Astros (913) plus the +1.5 Run-Line versus the Los Angeles Dodgers (914) listing both starting pitchers Lance McCullers and Yu Darvish. Los Angeles (114-62) evened this series at 3-3 last night with their 3-1 victory over the Astros to force a climactic Game Seven tonight. I have been line watching again this morning with the Dodgers opening as a money-line favorite in the -145 range with that then being bet up to the -155 to -160 range as of this writing. I see Los Angeles as a slight favorite in this game given home field advantage — but when taking the Astros plus the +1.5 Run-Line is around the same price as taking the Dodgers straight-up, then this becomes an easy Run-Line play for me with this Houston team that has a good chance of winning this game outright. Manager Dave Roberts really has little choice than give the ball to Darkish to start this game despite his getting shelled in Game Three of this series where he allowed four runs and six hits in just 1 2/3 innings of work. Darvish is at the epicenter of Slick Ball Gate with him being very dependent on a slider that was not dropping as much as he usually coaxes out of the baseball when getting hammered last Friday night. Even if the Slick Ball issues are rationalizations for poor pitching performances (I think it is real because I give credence to testimony from the likes of Justin Verlander and others), the fact is that the feel of the ball is now in Darvish’s head which will likely have a negative impact on his efforts tonight. As it is, Darkish has not been as effective at home as on the road this year. For the regular season between the Dodgers and Rangers, the right-hander has a 10-12 record with a 3.86 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP. At home during the regular season, Darkish had a 5.25 ERA with a .246 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 2.44 ERA and .206 opponent’s batting average on the road. With the Dodgers during the regular season, Darkish had a 4.84 ERA in four starts with a 1.21 WHIP and .250 opponent’s batting average as opposed to his 2.44 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and .223 opponent’s batting average in five starts. This will be Darvish’s first start at home for the Dodgers in this postseason — and his teams have lost 10 of their last 16 games when he is making the start at home. For his career, Darkish has a subpar 4.74 ERA in 24 2/3 innings of work in the playoffs. I do expect a short leash to be on Darkish tonight with Alex Wood the first likely candidate to replace him being on three days rest from a great start on Saturday. Clayton Kershaw will certainly take the mound as well — but he has never pitched well on short rest and is coming off that home outing where he allowed six earned runs. The Dodgers’ bullpen has a 4.07 ERA in their last seven games. Finally, while I did not put too much weight in the Dodgers’ eleven-game losing streak in August, I did think it could impact their confidence in pressure-filled moments in these playoffs. Los Angeles blew leads in Game Two and Game Five of this series. Now in front of their home fans after staving off elimination last night by defeating Verlander, the Dodgers may have celebrated a day early. They will likely experience some very anxious moments tonight in the face of failing in this moment where they are now expected to win — as evidenced by this moving money-line. |

10-31-17 | Astros v. Dodgers +102 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 102 | 30 h 5 m | Show |
At 8:20 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the money-line on the Los Angeles Dodgers (912) versus the Houston Astros (911) listing both starting pitchers Rich Hill and Justin Verlander. Houston (111-67) showed plenty of resolve to rally from an early four-run deficit and kept fighting last night to pull out an epic 13-12 victory in extra innings. Now they are on the brink of winning this World Series with their ace Verlander on the hill who has incredible numbers in potential close out games in the playoffs. That has helped make this game a virtual toss up with this — and created outstanding value on the Dodgers. Verlander showed he was hittable in Game Two of this series when he allowed three runs in 6 innings of work where he left the game with the Astros trailing. Two different left-handed batters hit home runs off him. And only one of Verlander’s seventeen sliders that he threw in that outing coaxed a swing-and-miss from a Dodgers’ batter. Verlander should be good but I do not think he will be unhittable. And manager A.J. Finch lacks reliable alternatives in his bullpen that has a 7.58 ERA in this World Series. Finch has benched his closer Ken Giles from complete ineffectiveness. Game Seven will be a different story with Dallas Kuechel and every other starting pitcher available to pitch — but I do not like the pitching situation for the Astros on Tuesday after Verlander at all. Keep in mind that Houston has lost 4 of their last 5 games on the road in these playoffs. And in their last 9 trips to Los Angeles, they have lost 7 of their games with the Dodgers. |

10-30-17 | Broncos +7.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 19-29 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Denver Broncos (273) plus the points versus the Kansas City Chiefs (274). Denver (3-3) looks to get back to their winning ways tonight in an important divisional game. Fifteen days ago, the Broncos were generally considered one of the top five teams in the NFL. But after their 23-10 loss to the Giants for Sunday Night Football, Denver followed that up with a listless 21-0 loss in Los Angeles against the Chargers as a 1-point favorite. Look for this team to rebound with one of their strongest efforts of the season. The Broncos have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games after suffering two straight double-digit losses. Denver has also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 11 games after a loss by at least three touchdowns to a divisional rival. And in their last 25 games after a straight-up loss, the Broncos have covered the point spread 17 times. Denver has certainly spent time on the offensive side of the football after being shut out last week. Defense is not a problem as this team leads the NFL by holding their opponents to just 258.1 total YPG which is the best mark in the league. This defense is also very familiar with Andy Reid, Alex Smith and this Chiefs’ offense. The Broncos have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 trips to Kansas City. Furthermore, Denver has covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games as an underdog. |

10-30-17 | Spurs +4 v. Celtics | Top | 94-108 | Loss | -115 | 1 h 5 m | Show |
At 7:35 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing the San Antonio Spurs (701) plus the points versus the Boston Celtics (702). San Antonio (4-2) has lost two straight games after their upset 97-94 loss at Indiana yesterday. The Spurs have bounced-back to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 11 games after a loss by 3 points or less — and they have covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after a loss by just 3 points on the road. Furthermore, San Antonio has covered the point spread in a decisive 208 of their last 354 games after an upset loss — so head coach Gregg Popovich has proven success in getting his team to get back to business after an upset loss. His teams have covered the point spread in 45 of their last 71 games in the first-half of the season. The Spurs have also covered the point spread in 8 of their last 13 road games when playing without rest in a second straight road game. Additionally, San Antonio has covered the point spread in 14 of their last 22 road games with the Total set in the 190-199.5 point range. The team is without Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard right now with both dealing with quad injuries — but the Spurs’ depth keeps them a reliable team during the grind of the regular season. |

10-29-17 | Steelers v. Lions UNDER 45 | Top | 20-15 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers (271) and the Detroit Lions (272). Detroit (3-3) looks to bounce-back from their 52-38 loss in New Orleans two weeks ago. The Lions have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after scoring at least 30 points in their last game. Detroit has also played 4 of the last 5 games Under the Total after a game where they surrendered at least 30 points. The Lions did pass for 312 yards in that loss — but they have then played 8 of their last 9 games Under the Total after passing for at least 250 yards in their last game. Detroit is struggling to getting a credible ground game going as they have not rushed for more than 97 yards in four straight games. The Lions have then played 7 straight games Under the Total after failing to rush for at least 100 yards in their last game. Additionally, Detroit has played 4 straight games Under the Total after their bye week. With Golden Tate still not 100%, this Lions defense might struggle to reach the 298.0 total YPG they are averaging this season which is just 26th in the NFL. |

10-29-17 | Dodgers v. Astros +1.5 | Top | 12-13 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show |
At 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the Houston Astros (910) plus the +1.5 Run-Line versus the Los Angeles Dodgers (909) listing both starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Dallas Keuchel. I had been debating what my side play would be in this potential Game Five situation since the end of Game One — and this internal conversation continued after the Dodgers’ 6-2 victory to even this series at 2-2 and through my early morning finishing up my early NFL plays for the day. I was considering this situation a toss up. After a short break to help focus my attention on this play, it (finally) hit me that the strong value play with this game was with the Astros plus the +1.5 Run-Line which is priced reasonably (as I define as no higher than -150) given the high value that is being placed on Kershaw. The left-hander was outstanding in Game One of this series and has been quite good all postseasn. But Kershaw does have that 4.21 ERA in 113 1/3 innings in the playoffs — and this will be just his second start in these playoffs away from home. Kershaw was not been quite as effective on the road in the regular season where he had a 0.98 WHIP and .219 opponent’s batting average in thirteen starts as compared to his 0.92 WHIP and .206 opponent’s batting average in nineteen starts at home. He is facing an Astros team that has won 23 of their last 31 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. The Dodgers have still lost 4 of their last 6 road games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. And in their last 38 road games after a win by at least four runs, Los Angeles has lost 22 of these games. |

10-29-17 | Texans v. Seahawks OVER 45.5 | Top | 38-41 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
At 4:05 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Houston Texans (267) and the Seattle Seahawks (268). Houston (3-3) has quickly transformed from a defensive-oriented low-scoring team to a high-flying offensive juggernaut that has to outscore their opponents. Season-ending injuries to J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus on defense along with the emergence of rookie QB Deshaun Watson has been the reasons for this transformation for Bill O’Brien’s team. Over his last three games coinciding with the return of Will Fuller at wide receiver, Watson has throw 12 TD passes with just two interceptions for a Passer Rating of 117. During that span, Watson is being sacked only once in ever 20 pass attempts — and he received a big boost this week when Houston’s star left tackle Duane Brown ended his holdout. Brown should be on the field this afternoon blocking for Watson and this rushing attack that is 3rd in the NFL by averaging 137.7 rushing YPG. The Texans come off their bye week after their 33-17 win over the Browns two weeks ago as a 7.5-point favorite. Houston has then played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 8 straight games Over the Total after a point spread victory. Additionally, the Texans have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a game where at least 50 combined points were scored. And in their last 5 games after scoring at least 30 points in their last game, Houston has played 4 of these games Over the Total. Moving forward, the Texans have played 4 straight games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. And in their last 21 games in the month of October, Houston has played 16 of these games Over the Total. |

10-29-17 | 49ers +13 v. Eagles | Top | 10-33 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 44 m | Show |
At 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, we will be playing the San Francisco 49ers (259) plus the points versus the Philadelphia Eagles (260). The team with the best record in the league faces off against the team that is tied for the worst record in the NFL — and the price is high for bettors to take this Philadelphia team (6-1) coming off a flashy win in front of a national audience on Monday with their 34-24 win over Washington. Let this line continue to the 13 or perhaps even the 14 point range if you can before kickoff. The Eagles suffered two devastating injuries with left tackle Jason Peters and linebacker Jordan Hicks suffering season-ending injuries in that game with the Skins — and it will be difficult to replace those two players that played such a vital role in the foundation of their offensive line and front seven on defense. QB Carson Wentz has been impressive — but it is a warning sign that he led the team in rushing on Monday with his 63 yards on eight attempts. The Eagles have also failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after playing on Monday Night Football. Philly does stay at home this week but they have failed to cover the point spread in 5 straight home games against teams with a losing record on the road. And in their last 5 games against teams with a losing record overall, the Eagles have failed to cover the point spread in 4 of these games. |

10-29-17 | Vikings v. Browns UNDER 38 | Top | 33-16 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 59 m | Show |
At 9:30 AM ET on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Minnesota Vikings (251) and the Cleveland Browns (252). Cleveland (0-7) has already had a tumultuous trip to London this week when they were awoken by a late night alarm at their hotel. The Browns remained winless this season with their 12-9 loss in overtime to Tennessee last Sunday. Cleveland has then played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a loss. The Browns have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after allowing less than 15 points in their last game. The Cleveland defense is good — they rank 9th in the league by allowing only 304.7 total YPG. But the offense is a mess as they rank 31st in the NFL by scoring 14.7 PPG. Rookie QB Deshone Kizer is clearly not ready for the league as he is struggling mightily with NFL defenses. His job just became much worse as well with the season ending injury to the rock on the Cleveland offensive line in Joe Thomas at left tackle. With Thomas out, expect the Browns to run the ball even more which will burn time off the clock. Cleveland has played 16 of their last 21 games Under the Total against teams with a winning record. And while the Browns have failed to cover the point spread in five of their last six games, they have then played 10 of their last 12 games Under the Total after playing five or six of their last seven games Under the Total. |

10-28-17 | Penn State v. Ohio State -6 | Top | 38-39 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 21 m | Show |
At 3:30 PM ET on Saturday, we will be playing the Ohio State Buckeyes (206) minus the points versus the Penn State Nittany Lions (205). Penn State (7-0) avenged an embarrassing 39-point loss to Michigan last Saturday night in their “white-out” game with ESPN Game Day with their 42-13 victory over the Wolverines. Head coach James Franklin and the entire Nittany Lions’ nation has been the toast of the town with that victory signaling the program’s return from disgrace after the Jerry Sandusky travesty. We had Penn State in a big play in that game — and that big win sets up a huge emotional letdown “play-against” situation this week as they travel to Columbus for an even bigger showdown. There is plenty of technical support for this expected letdown. The Nittany Lions have been favored by at least 7.5-points in three straight games — and their 29-point win against Michigan was the closest of those three victories. Penn State has failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after being a favorite of at least 7 points in three straight games. And in their last 11 games after generating at least three straight wins by at least three touchdowns. Frankly, this Penn State team has been a bit overrated in my view since their fluke win over the Buckeyes last October — more on that in a moment. They impressed many with their loss in the Rose Bowl team to a USC team with three losses this season. They barely survived their game in Iowa City to begin the month where a late touchdown eked out a 21-19 win against an Hawkeyes team that also now has three losses. And then Saquon Barkley and company managed to rush for just 39 yards in their next game against Indiana before earning only 95 rushing yards on 2.5 Yards-Per-Carry the next week against Northwestern. They face a dramatic step in quality against this Buckeyes defensive line this week. Penn State is just 4-11-2 ATS when playing on field turf that accentuates their opponent’s speed. The Nittany Lions have also failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 road games as an underdog in the 3.5 to 7 point range. And in their last 11 trips to Columbus to face the Buckeyes, Penn State has failed to cover the point spread 9 times. |

10-28-17 | Buffalo University v. Akron UNDER 50 | Top | 20-21 | Win | 100 | 18 h 45 m | Show |
At 11:30 AM ET on Saturday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Buffalo Bulls (123) and the Akron Zips (124). Buffalo (3-5) will be starting a true freshman at QB in Kyle Vantrease with both Drew Anderson and Tyree Jackson declared out for this game. Vantrease completed just 17 of 41 passes last week for 202 yards in the Bulls’ 24-14 loss at Miami (OH) as a 3-point underdog. Buffalo is playing all of their opponents tough with three of their losses by 4 points or less and all five of their defeats being within 10 points — so expect a conservative game plan in this contest with a freshman QB playing in a hostile environment. As it is, the Bulls have played 9 of their last 10 games Under the Total on the road. Furthermore, Buffalo has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a point spread loss. And in their last 5 games after a loss by at least 20 points, the Bulls have played 4 of these games Under the Total. Moving forward, Buffalo has played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total in the month of October. |

10-27-17 | Dodgers v. Astros UNDER 8 | Top | 3-5 | Push | 0 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
At 8:08 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (905) and the Houston Astros (906) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Lance McCullers. Los Angeles (112-60) evened this series at 1-1 on Wednesday with their 7-6 win in extra innings in what became a game for the ages in World Series history. The Dodgers have played 5 straight games Under the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Under is also 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after an off day. Now they go on the road where the Under is 6-1-1 in their last 8 games away from home. They give the ball to Darvish who is 10-12 with a 3.86 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP this season. The right-hander was been more effective on the road during the regular season where he had a 2.44 ERA with a .206 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 5.25 ERA along with a .246 opponent’s batting average at home with Texas and then the Dodgers after being traded to LA. The right-hander has been outstanding in this postseason where he has a 2–0 record with a 1.59 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in two starts. Darvish’s teams have played 11 of their last 12 road games Under the Total when priced in the +/- 125 price-range. He faces an Astros team that is hitting just .201 over their last seven games with a .280 On-Base Percentage and .638 OPS over that span. Houston has played 8 of their last 9 home games Under the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. The Astros have also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. |

10-27-17 | Florida State -5 v. Boston College | Top | 3-35 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
At 8:00 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing the Florida State Seminoles (111) minus the points versus the Boston College Eagles (112). Florida State (2-4) saw their tough luck season continue last week with their 31-28 upset loss to Louisville last Saturday as 6-point favorites. After their opening 24-7 loss to Alabama when sophomore Deondre Francois suffered his season-ending knee injury, the Seminoles have lost three more games to NC State, Miami (FL) and then to the Cardinals with the reigning Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson by a combined 13 points. Jimbo Fisher’s team has probably endured the most difficult schedule in the nation. Now with four losses on the season with challenging road games at Clemson and Florida still on the docket, the Seminoles do not have much more margin of error just to become bowl eligible. Expect a big effort from this team in this critical game. Florida State is 6-1-2 ATS in their last 9 games after a point spread loss. The Seminoles have also covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after losing four or five of their last six games. And while Florida State allowed 293 rushing yards to the Cardinals, they have then covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after allowing at least 200 rushing yards in their last game. One of the problems for this team is not having much luck in creating turnovers. The Seminoles have forced only one turnover in each of their last three games — but they have then covered the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after three straight games when they failed to force more than one turnover in their last game. Florida State is playing outstanding defense still as they are holding their opponents 130 net YPG below their season average for the season. Moving forward, the Seminoles are 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 games on the road. And in their last 5 Friday night games, the Seminoles have covered the point spread all 5 times. |

10-26-17 | Dolphins v. Ravens UNDER 37.5 | Top | 0-40 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
At 8:25 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Miami Dolphins (101) and the Baltimore Ravens (102). With this Total set in the 37.5 range as of this writing, oddsmakers seem to be trying coax Over bets. Lets not take the bait. After a week where three teams were shutout and another six teams scored 10 points or less in regulation time, there is a good chance that at least one of these teams with limited offenses will fail to score more than 10 points when playing on a short week. Miami (4-2) enters this game coming off their 31-28 win over the NY Jets last week as a 3-point favorite. The Dolphins did generate 357 yards in that game in their best statistical effort on offense all season — but they have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after gaining at least 350 yards in their last game. Miami rushed for just 53 yards in that game — and they have then played 4 straight games Under the Total after failing to rush for more than 90 yards in their last game. QB Jay Cutler has been declared out for this game with his rib injury — and while Matt Moore is a capable backup, some of the talk defending him that approaches Dan Marino territory is a bit overblown. Now this team goes on the road where they have played 4 straight games Under the Total. Miami has also played 3 straight games Under the Total as an underdog. The Dolphins do have a top-ten defense in yards allowed while ranking 7th in the NFL by allowing 18.7 PPG. The Under is 8-0-1 in their last 9 games played on a Thursday night. And in their last 26 games in the month of October, the Under is 17-8-1. |

10-26-17 | South Alabama v. Georgia State | Top | 13-21 | Win | 100 | 3 h 30 m | Show |
At 7:30 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing the Georgia State Panthers (106) plus the points versus the South Alabama Jaguars (105). South Alabama (3-4) has won two straight games with their 33-23 win over UL-Monroe last Saturday as a 3.5-point favorite. But this Jaguars team has been consistent regarding their inconsistency over the years. Not only has South Alabama failed to cover the point spread in 14 of their last 17 games after a straight-up win but they have also failed to cover the point spread in 10 of their last 11 games after a point spread victory. The Jaguars surrendered 488 yards of offense to the Red Hawks in that game — and they have also failed to cover the point spread in 22 of their last 26 games after allowing at least 450 yards in their last game. This team was reeling just a few weeks ago having lost four of their first five games while firing their offensive coordinator Bryant Vincent. An upset win over Troy back on October 11th is the highpoint of their season. But South Alabama has failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 12 games on the road. And in their last 24 games in Sun Belt Conference play, the Jaguars have failed to cover the point spread in 18 of these contests. |

10-25-17 | Grizzlies v. Mavs +4 | Top | 94-103 | Win | 100 | 3 h 4 m | Show |
At 8:35 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Dallas Mavericks (514) plus the points versus the Memphis Grizzlies (513). Dallas (0-4) looks to bounce-back from an ugly 133-103 loss to Golden State as a 13.5-point underdog on Monday which left them winless so far this season. Look for the Mavericks to bounce-back with a strong effort tonight. Not only has Dallas rebounded to cover the point spread in 13 of their last 17 games after a loss by at least 20 points — and they have covered the point spread in 4 straight games after a loss by at least 30 points. Expect Rick Carlisle’s team to play better on defense after they allowed the Warriors to nail 55.8% of their shots. The Mavericks have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 12 games after allowing their last opponent to at least 55% shooting — and they have covered the point spread in 12 of their last 17 games after allowing at least 125 points in their last game. While this is a team that is in flux in the tale end of the Dirk Nowitzki era, their disappointing 33-49 record last year can be explained in some measures by a slow start and a host of injuries. There is talent on this team with veterans Harrison Barnes, Nerlens Noel and Nowitzki complementing their rookie point guard Dennis Smith, Jr. out of NC State who is being touted as the steal of the draft and the potential Rookie of the Year. |

10-24-17 | Astros v. Dodgers -1.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 130 | 7 h 0 m | Show |
At 8:08 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the Los Angeles Dodgers (902) minus the 1.5 Run-Line versus the Houston Astros (901) listing both starting pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Dallas Keuchel. With the money-line listed for this game in the -170 range, I will be following my self-imposed guideline to not endorse a favorite (or underdog for that matter) in those situations and instead consider the Run-Line plays with that price in the +/- 150 range for both sides. Houston (108-65) reached the World Series with their 4-0 win over the Cubs on Saturday. But that game was at home — and the Astros have struggled on the road this postseason. They looked overwhelmed by the atmosphere in the Bronx against the Yankees losing all three games there. Houston has lost 4 of their last 5 games away from home — and they have lost 6 of their last 7 games on the road in the playoffs. The Astros have also lost 6 of their last 7 games in LA against the Dodgers. They send out Keuchel who is 14-5 with a 2.90 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP during the regular season. The left-hander was outstanding at home during the regular season where he had a 2.26 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP and .187 opponent’s batting average in eleven starts — but those numbers jumped to 3.53 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP and .245 opponent’s batting average in his twelve starts on the road. Keuchel does have a 2-1 record in the postseason with a 2.60 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in three starts — but two of those starts were at home. In his one start away from home in the playoffs, Keuchel was rocked for four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings of work in New York in his last start while giving up seven base hits and issuing a walk. Now he faces a Dodgers team that is scoring 5.6 Runs-Per-Game over their last seven games with a batting average of .264 along with a .373 On-Base Percentage and an OPS of .832. Los Angeles has won a decisive 37 of their last 55 games against starting pitchers with a WHIP of 1.15 or lower. The Dodgers have also won 35 of their last 51 home games against left-handed starting pitchers. |

10-24-17 | Oilers v. Penguins -145 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 1 h 50 m | Show |
At 7:05 PM ET on Tuesday, we will be playing the money-line on the Pittsburgh Penguins (7) versus the Edmonton Oilers (8). Edmonton (2-5-0) has lost five of their last six games this season with their 2-1 loss in Philadelphia on Saturday. This Oilers team is struggling because they have somehow looked slow outside of their young superstar Connor McDavid. Being without their other young star Leon Draisaitl who has been out with concussion-like symptoms has not helped — and they will be getting him back on the ice tonight. But facing the fastest team in the NHL in the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions is a terrifying prospect for this sluggish team right now. As it is, the Oilers have lost 20 of their last 24 road games after they scored no more than one goal in their last game. Furthermore, Edmonton has lost 10 of their last 12 road games after a game where three or less combined goals in their last game. And in their last 6 games when playing with two days of rest, the Oilers have lost all 6 games. Moving forward, Edmonton has lost 6 of their last 7 games against Eastern Conference opponents. The Oilers have also lost 5 of their last 6 trips to Pittsburgh. That is not a good sign when considering that this franchise has seen their teams lost 91 of their last 122 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home ice. |

10-23-17 | Redskins +5 v. Eagles | Top | 24-34 | Loss | -110 | 97 h 21 m | Show |
At 8:30 PM ET on Monday, we will be playing the Washington Redskins (477) plus the points versus the Philadelphia Eagles (478). The Eagles are the latest Golden Boys for BFL pundits are they upset Carolina for Thursday Night Football back on October 12th. We had Philadelphia in that game — but let’s go against them in this one. Washington (3-2) will be playing with revenge on their mind in this rematch of their 30-17 loss at home to the Eagles back on September 17th. The Skins have covered the point spread in 3 straight games when playing with revenge. They look to build off their 26-24 win over the 49ers last Sunday. Washington’s defense has been a pleasant surprise this season — and they held the 49ers to just 85 rushing yards in that game. The Skins have then covered the point spread in 6 of their last 7 games after not allowing 90 rushing yards in their last game. Washington is averaging 407.3 YPG on offense over their last three games — and they have then covered the point spread in 7 of their last 9 games after averaging at least 400 YPG in their last three contests. Now the Skins go back on the road where they have covered the point spread in 10 of their last 13 games. Washington has also covered the point spread in 5 of their last 7 road games as an underdog in the 45.5 to 49 point range. And in their last 9 games against teams with a winning record, the Skins have covered the point spread 7 times.
