10-21-18 | Patriots -2.5 v. Bears | Top | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 64 h 35 m | Show |
Take New England. This is my CONTRARIAN GOM. Game 453. 10:00 am pst. I have made a successful and profitable career going against the grain. Just about everyone I know and most of the gaming publications are all taking the Bears here. We saw the line move from -3.5, down to -3, and as of print, -2.5. After 3 wins in a row, Chicago came back down to Earth last week, in a 31-28 loss at Miami. Meanwhile, New England has won 3 in a row and are just a 1/2-point from covering their L3. The Bears defense held opponents to13.6 PPG during their 3-game win streak. But they didn't face any great offenses and now with Khalil Mack hobbled (ankle, but scheduled to play here), and not 100%, I am siding with Bill Belichick, who has Terrific Tom on offense and will have some surprises on defense for Chicago's rookie QB, Trubisky. The Favorite is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. The Patriots are 14-5 ATS the L19 on the road, 36-15-2 ATS the L53 in October, and 31-13 ATS the L44 overall. Take New England. Thank you. |

10-20-18 | Vanderbilt v. Kentucky -11 | Top | 7-14 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 51 m | Show |
Take Kentucky. This is my SEC EAST GOM. Game 312. 4:30 pm pst. This situation benefits the Wildcats, who come off a bye week, rested and looking for vengeance, after dropping their first game of the season. Kentucky won and covered the L2 meetings in this series, and enter this year's matchup, 5-1 overall, and vying for the SEC East Title, behind the #4 ranked defense in the nation. Vanderbilt comes off back-to-back SU losses (1-4 SU L5) to Georgia and Florida, while failing to cover 4 straight. The Commodores defense will once again get steamrolled on the ground. The Favorite is 7-2 ATS the L9 meetings in this series. Vanderbilt is 1-9-1 ATS the L11 vs. conference opponents, 3-7-1 ATS the L11 vs. teams with a winning record, and 0-5-1 ATS the L6 games played in the month of October. Take Kentucky. Thank you. |

10-20-18 | Utah State -14.5 v. Wyoming | Top | 24-16 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 32 m | Show |
Take Utah State. This is my MWC GOM. Game 359. 11:30 am pst. Utah State is red-hot, rattling off 5 consecutive SU wins and 6 straight ATS covers. On the flipside, Wyoming is riding a 3-game SU skid (1-5 SU L6) and haven't covered a game since August (0-6 ATS L6). The Cowboys have no offense whatsoever, ranking 122nd in the air, 102nd on the ground, and 129th in scoring, averaging a dismal, 15.4 PPG. The Aggies own the #2 scoring team in the land, posting 51.7 PPG. The Favorite in this series is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings. Wyoming is 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. conference foes, 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-4 ATS the L5 games at home. Utah State is 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. conference opponents, 8-1 ATS the L9 vs. teams with a losing record, and 5-1 ATS the L6 on the road. Take the Aggies. Thank you. |

10-13-18 | Colorado +7.5 v. USC | Top | 20-31 | Loss | -119 | 54 h 24 m | Show |
Take Colorado. Colorado can take total control of the PAC 12 South with a win here. The Buffaloes are a perfect, 4-0 ATS against FBS opponents, en route to a 5-0 SU mark. The Trojans are 0-4 ATS the last 4 at home, 1-4-1 ATS the last 6 vs. Conference foes, and 5-15-1 ATS the last 21 overall. I like Colorado SU here, so getting a TD is a gift. Take Colorado. Thank you. |

10-13-18 | UAB -16.5 v. Rice | Top | 42-0 | Win | 100 | 44 h 22 m | Show |
Take UAB. The odds makers wanted to make this line more attractive, but I feel it should be closer to -24. UAB likes to beat up lesser teams, and believe me, Rice is certainly a lesser team. They proved that again last week, as they put up a mere, 3 points against UTSA. The Blazers have covered 3 in a row and 4 of 5 this season. The Owls rank 110th offensively and 120th defensively. This game is going to get ugly. Take UAB. Thank you. |

10-07-18 | Rams -7 v. Seahawks | Top | 33-31 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 19 m | Show |
Take Los Angeles. This is my NFC WEST GOM. Game 473. 1:25 pm pst.
There is no team in the NFL, right now playing as good of football as the Los Angeles Rams. They are off to a 4-0 start (3-0-1 ATS). Their offense ranks 1st in Total Yards, 2nd in Passing Yards, 7th in Rushing Yards, and 2nd in Scoring. The "O" averages a whopping, 35.0 PPG. Jared Goff and Todd Gurley are devouring defenses. The QB has 1406 YP, a 72.4% CR, 11/2. The RB has 338 YR and 4 scores. Gurley is going to shred the 27th ranked Seattle rush defense while Goff and his talented corps of receivers will exploit a Seahawks secondary that will be missing Safety, Earl Thomas, who broke his leg LW. Defensively, LA is very tough. But let's be honest, Russell Wilson has no air attack whatsoever, ranking 29th. The ground game is almost as bad. Gone are the days of Marshawn Lynch. If you recall, the rams routed the Seahawks, 42-7, back in December. There is no reason why this matchup won't be any different of an outcome. Seattle is 2-5 ATS the L7 at home and 2-6-1 ATS the L9 vs. the NFC West. Los Angeles is 6-2 ATS the L8 on the road and 4-1 ATS the L5vs. the NFC West. Take the Rams. This is a chance for them to further distance themselves from the rest of the Division. Thank you. |

10-06-18 | Nebraska v. Wisconsin -17 | Top | 24-41 | Push | 0 | 22 h 7 m | Show |
Take Wisconsin. This is my BIG TEN GAME. Game 410. 4:30 pm pst. This game was -20 at on Tuesday morning. The line went down to -17. And it makes no sense to me as this game has the makings of a massacre. Nebraska hasn't won a game since October of last year, riding a 1-7 ATS run. Wisconsin possesses a stifling defense and one of the best rushing units in college football. The combination is going to prove to be fatal for Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the Badgers, 1-5 ATS the L6 conference games, and 5-15-1 ATS the L21 overall games. The Badgers are 7-3 ATS the L10 games played in October, 5-1 ATS the L6 conference games, and 13-3 ATS the L16 games played following a bye week. Take Wisconsin. Thank you. |

09-30-18 | Dolphins v. Patriots -6.5 | Top | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 50 h 3 m | Show |
Take New England. This is my AFC EAST GOM. Game 252. 10:00 am pst. Yes, Miami is 3-0 (both SU & ATS), but scheduling was a factor. However, going into Foxborough, where the Dolphins have lost 9 straight (7-2 ATS), and facing a Patriots team that hasn't lost 3 in a row since 2002, will put an end to their streak. Miami lacks the pass rush to prevent Tom Brady from exploiting their 29th ranked secondary. The Home Team is 11-1 ATS the L12 meetings in this series. New England is 20-7 ATS the L27 vs. the AFC. Miami is 1-5 ATS the L6 on the road. Take New England. Thank you. |
|||||||
09-23-18 | Patriots -7 v. Lions | Top | 10-26 | Loss | -100 | 47 h 21 m | Show |
Take New England. This is my NFL GOM. Game 487. 5:20 pm pst. The big story this week is that Matt Patricia faces his former team. The Detroit Lions 1st-year Head Coach spent 13 seasons with the New England coaching staff. But it won't be a warm reunion. The Patriots come off an embarrassing, 31-20 defeat at Jacksonville last week. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady don't take losing lightly, going 25-7 ATS following a SU loss since 2008. Take New England. Thank you. |
|||||||
09-16-18 | Lions v. 49ers -6 | Top | 27-30 | Loss | -107 | 68 h 14 m | Show |
Take San Francisco. This is my LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE. Game 282. 1:05 pm pst Jimmy Garoppolo lost his first ever game as a pro starter last week. But the QB has nothing to be ashamed of as he faced one of the NFL's elite, and certainly one of the stoutest defenses in the 24-16 defeat in Minnesota. He now returns to Levi's Stadium in front of a friendly, home crowd to face a Detroit team that comes off a short week, having gotten crushed on MNF. The Lions have no pass rush whatsoever, allowing rookie QB, Sam Darnold of the Jets to put up 198 YP and 2 TD's in the air. On the flipside, the 49ers are going to blitz, blitz, and blitz, wreaking havoc on an already-battered, Matthew Stafford. Detroit has dropped 12 in a row SU at San Francisco and have a dismal, 1-11-1 ATS record vs. NFC West opponents. Under a TD is a gift here. Take the 49ers. Thank you. |
|||||||
09-15-18 | Missouri -5.5 v. Purdue | Top | 40-37 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 54 m | Show |
Take Missouri. This is my TEN DIMES PLAY. Game 191. 4:30 pm pst. Already off to an 0-2 start (both SU and ATS), Purdue's comes in here with a defense that ranks 107th, yielding over 291 YPG in the air. In comes a high-flying, Missouri team (who BTW, is 2-0 both SU and ATS), with gunslinger, Drew Lock. The QB leads an offense accounting for 45.5 PPG, ranking 3rd nationally, in the pass, with 396 YPG up top. Defensively, the Tigers will be the first real test for a Boilermakers offense. Purdue just can't go score-for-score with Missouri here. The Tigers get the bettors paid, going 7-1 ATS the L8 vs. teams with a losing record, 4-1 ATS the L5 on the road, 4-1 ATS the L5 non-Conference games, and 9-2 ATS the L11 overall. Take Missouri here. Thank you. |

09-08-18 | Kansas v. Central Michigan -5 | Top | 31-7 | Loss | -106 | 52 h 4 m | Show |
Take Central Michigan. This is my CRUSHER PLAY. Game 336. 12:00 pm pst. Saying that Kansas' OT loss to Nicholls State last week, wasn't as bad as it seems, is just early season propaganda coming out of Lawrence. The Jayhawks are a deplorable, 3-37 SU the L40 overall and haven't won a road game since early 2009. The 1-2 punch of QB, Poljan and RB, Ward, will light up the scoreboard. But it will be the Chippewas defense that will shine here. With another 4 takeaways last week, the stop-unit has over 35 the last year and change. Kansas is 7-18-1 ATS the L26 non-conference games, while Central Michigan is 6-1 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Chippewas. Thank you. |

05-28-18 | Warriors -5.5 v. Rockets | Top | 101-92 | Win | 100 | 34 h 9 m | Show |
Take Golden State. This is my WC Game of the Year. Game 511. 6:00 pm pst. Both teams had significant players sitting out in Game 6. Both Andre Igoudala (knee) and Chris Paul (hamstring) are listed as questionable for Game 7. Golden State is back in Championship form, possess the better supporting cast, and have momentum in their favor. Houston ranks #2 in scoring behind Golden State, and is known strongly for their defense. However, they can not stop the juggernaut that is the Warriors. Offensively, James harden can not do it alone. The Favorite is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings between these teams. The Rockets are 6-14 ATS their L20 games played vs. the NBA Pacific. The Warriors are 9-4 ATS their L13 Conference Finals games. take Golden State. Thank you. |

05-19-18 | Celtics +6.5 v. Cavs | Top | 86-116 | Loss | -105 | 59 h 53 m | Show |
Take Boston. This is my ECF GOY. game 703. 5:35 pm pst. Boston took Games 1 and 2 by 25 and 13 points, outrebounding Cleveland in both. The Cavaliers biggest problem is on the boards where they rank 23rd offensively and 18th defensively. Laying points at home has not fared well for bettors of Cleveland, as the team is 14-32-1 ATS at Quicken Loans Arena TY, while Boston is 29-16 ATS as a guest in the 2017/2018 season. The Road Team is 14-5-1 ATS the L20 meetings between these teams. The Celtics are 4-0-1 ATS the L5 games played at the Cavaliers, 6-1 ATS their L7 games played on 3 or more days rest, and 25-9 ATS their L34 games played overall. The Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS their L5 Conference Finals games, 0-6 ATS their L6 games played on 3 or more days rest, and 4-10 ATS their L14 games played overall. Take Boston. Thank you. |

05-05-18 | Celtics +9 v. 76ers | Top | 101-98 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Take Boston. This is my EC GOM. Game 701. 2:05 pm pst. Boston took Games 1 and 2 of this series, with authority. Now, a team that is 28-15 ATS on the road this season, is getting 9 points. The Celtics defense have frustrated the 76ers, not just in the playoffs, but all season long, as they are 5-1, both SU and ATS against them , in the 2017-2018 campaign. The 'Dog in this 8-2 ATS the L10 meetings in this series. Boston is 36-17 ATS their L53 road games, 5-0 ATS their L5 Conference Semi Finals games, 5-1 ATS their L6 games on 1 days rest, and 21-8 ATS their L29 overall games. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

Take Philadelphia. This is my OR GOM. Game 702. 5:05 pm pst. Winners of 17 in a row, including a Game 1, 130-103 thumping of Miami, Philadelphia is too much for their opening round opponents. The Heat just don't have the offense or the presence on the boards to contend here. The Hoe Team is 7-1-1 ATS the L9 meetings in this series. Miami is 2-6 ATS their L8 overall. Philadelphia is 12-3 ATS their L15 overall. Take the 76ers. Thank you. |

04-11-18 | Jazz +4 v. Blazers | Top | 93-102 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 9 m | Show |
Take Utah. This is my ESPN GW. Game 719. 7:35 pm pst. Despite clinching post-season berths, both teams need this game, as the #3 seed in the West is on the line as well as a possible risk of opening up the 1st round series on the road. Utah is red-hot, winning 5 in a row SU, while Portland is ice-cold, riding a 4-game SU skid. The Jazz won and covered 2 of the 3 meetings in this series TY and are 12-4 ATS their L16 overall road games. The Blazers are 1-4 ATS their L5 games played overall. Take Utah. Thank you. |

04-04-18 | Celtics +7.5 v. Raptors | Top | 78-96 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
Take Boston. This is my Atlantic Division GOM. Game 501. 5:05 pm pst. Boston has shown that they can win without Kyrie Irving. The Celtics are doing it with defense as they are #2 in PA (100.2 PPG) and FG% (43.8%) and top the NBA vs. the "3" (33.5%). The team is 13-4 both SU and ATS their L17 overall contests. The Raptors are just 3-5 SU their L8, failing to cover 9 straight. With just a handful of games remaining, Boston can not only take the Atlantic but can also take the #1 post-season seed in the East. Toronto is 2-6 ATS their L8 on 0 days rest and 0-5 ATS their L5 at home. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

04-02-18 | Michigan v. Villanova -6.5 | Top | 62-79 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show |
Take Villanova. This is my NCAA GOY. Game 601. 6:20 pm pst. Top-seeded, Villanova has too much offense, both inside and out for a Michigan team that hasn’t faced an opponent seeded higher than 6th in the Big Dance. The Wildcats faced and took down much better opponents like the 5th seeded, Mountaineers, the 3rd seeded, Red Raiders, and the top-seeded, Jayhawks. Villanova has beaten all post-season adversaries by DD's, including Conference Tourney's. The Wolverines had problems with such teams as the Hawkeyes, Cougars, and Seminoles. Michigan just doesn't have the offensive prowess to contend with Villanova here. The Wildcats have several talented Forward's to slow down Mo Wagner, the Wolverines biggest weapon. Villanova is 5-0 ATS their L5 NCAA Tournament games, 10-1 ATS their L11 vs. the Big Ten, 22-8 ATS their L30 on neutral sites, 53-21-1 ATS their L75 non-Conference, and 25-10 ATS their L30 overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |

03-27-18 | Western Kentucky -1.5 v. Utah | Top | 64-69 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Take Western Kentucky. This is my NIT GOY. Game 777. 4:00 pm pst. Western Kentucky has crushed opponents in NIT play, beating a very good, Boston College team by 17, then taking victories over USC and Oklahoma State, both as an underdog. To get here, Utah bested a UC Davis team that was without their top-scorer, an inconsistent LSU squad, and a very flat St. Mary's in OT. The Hilltoppers played the Wildcats tough, beat Boilermakers, Mustangs, Badgers, and Monarchs this season. They've played and beat better competition than did the Utes. They have 5 DD scorers, with a trio of back court studs, and 2 big, strong Forward's, in Johnson and Coleby (26.5 PPG/17.1 RPG combined) to overpower Utah's, Colette and Rawson. Western Kentucky is 42-19 ATS their L61 games played on neutral sites, 4-0 ATS their L4 non-Conference games, and 5-1 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take the Hilltoppers. Thank you. |

03-22-18 | Kansas State v. Kentucky -5 | Top | 61-58 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 17 m | Show |
Take Kentucky. This is my TEN DIMES PLAY. Game 814. 6:35 pm pst. Kentucky is playing their best basketball of the season right now. Since their worst skid in nearly a decade, the Wildcats are 9-1, both SU and ATS. They just have too many weapons and are too strong, both offensively and on the boards for K State. UK is a team that possesses a ton of talent and is deep with big, strong Forward's. Six players average over 4.1 RPG. They hold a 9-0 SU lead in the all-time series, while Kentucky is 6-0 in Sweet 16 action under Coach Calipari, winning by an average of 14.5 PPG. Kansas State is 2-6 ATS their L8 games played on neutral sites, 1-5 ATS their L6 non-Conference games, and 2-5 ATS their L7 NCAA Tourney games. Kentucky is 31-15-5 ATS their L51 games played on neutral sites, 4-0 ATS their L4 non-Conference games, and 6-1 ATS their L7 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Kentucky. Thank you. |

03-17-18 | Buffalo v. Kentucky -5.5 | Top | 75-95 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show |
Take Kentucky. This is my TEN DIMES play. Game 538. 2:15 pm pst. Buffalo is in a "let-down" spot here, after Thursday's Opening Round surprise win over Arizona, as an 8.5-point 'dog. The Bulls stepped up in class this season against the Bearcats, the Bonnies, the Orange, and the Aggies, losing to each. Kentucky is 4-0, both SU and ATS, this post-season, and bring a deep, talented roster, loaded with playmakers and muscle. The Wildcat's are 5-1 ATS their L6 non-Conference games and 16-5-2 ATS their L23 games played on neutral sites. Take Kentucky. Thank you. |

03-10-18 | Davidson v. St Bonaventure +3 | Top | 82-70 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 36 m | Show |
Take St. Bonaventure. This is my OM Move. Game 522. 12:30 pm pst. St. Bonny should be a favorite of 5-6 points here. The Bonnies continue to win, riding a 13-game SU streak. They own the better back court of Adams and Mobley (38.3 PPG combined) and have 2 powerful Forward's in Stockard and Griffen, who will double-team the Wildcats top offensive threat, Aldridge. St. Bonaventure is 5-2 ATS their L7 vs. A 10 opponents and 17-8 ATS their L25 on neutral sites. Take the Bonnies. Thank you. |

02-25-18 | Penn State v. Nebraska -1 | Top | 64-76 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
Take Nebraska. This is my BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR. Game 834. 2:15 pm pst. There are quite a few factors that give Nebraska a huge edge here. The Cornhuskers need wins to ensure a spot in the Big Dance. This is a team that has had great success in Conference play this season, going 12-5 SU vs. Big Ten foes. They are a remarkable, 15-1 SU (12-2 ATS) at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Then there's the Revenge factor. PSU beat them, 76-74 in OT, back in January. Finally, the Mike Watkins issue. The Nittany Lions' 3rd leading scorer and top rebounder (12.1 PPG/8.9 RPG) is out here. The Forward hurt his leg in the game on the 18th against the Boilermakers. He played only 9 minutes and scored just 3 points in the loss. Then, the star player only played 5 minutes and didn't score at all in Wednesday's defeat against the Wolverines. Without him full force, the team is 0-2 the L2. Watkins accounted for 20 points and 15 rebounds in the earlier matchup. Nebraska is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings vs. Penn State, 10-1 ATS their L11 games played at home, 14-2 ATS their L16 vs. Big Ten opponents, and 21-6 ATS their L27 games played overall. Take the Cornhuskers. Thank you. |

02-17-18 | Auburn -6 v. South Carolina | Top | 75-84 | Loss | -101 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Take Auburn This is my NCAAB GOM. Game 539. 12:30 pm pst. The current 10th ranked Auburn squad is motivated to pick up wins as to lock up the SEC regular season Title. They need every win they can grab, so taking advantage of the lowly (tied for last), South Carolina team, who is riding a 6-game SU losing streak (going 1-5 ATS), is just what they will do. The Tigers average 85.1 PPG, are money from beyond the arc (38.6%), sharp from the line (78.1% FT's), and are far superior on the boards in this matchup. With 4 DD scorers, led by the back court trio of Brown, Heron, and Harper (50.2 PPG combined) and 4 strong, rotating Forwards, Auburn has just too much talent for South Carolina. The Road Team is 12-5 ATS the L17 meetings in this series. The Tigers are 7-2 ATS the L9 games played at the Gamecocks, 5-1 ATS their L6 games played on the road, 13-3 ATS their L16 games played vs. the SEC, and 20-7 ATS their L27 games played overall. Take Auburn. Thank you. |

02-06-18 | Nebraska +1.5 v. Minnesota | Top | 91-85 | Win | 100 | 27 h 32 m | Show |
Take Nebraska. This is my BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH. Game 553. 6:00 pm pst. Nebraska is soaring, winning 3 in a row and 5 of their L6 SU, and covering 13 of their L14, including 7 straight road games. Minnesota is sinking, as they have dropped 5 in a row and 8 of their L9 SU, covering just 4 of their L16 outings. A 100% healthy, Cornhuskers team face a limping Golden Gophers squad without Curry and Lynch while Diedhiou and Coffey are questionable. Nebraska beat Minnesota, 78-68 back in December, to win and cover 5 of the L7 meetings. The Cornhuskers are 10-1 ATS their L11 vs. Big Ten opponents while the Golden Gophers are 0-4 ATS their L4 games played at home. Take Nebraska. Thank you. |

01-08-18 | Alabama -3.5 v. Georgia | Top | 26-23 | Loss | -105 | 124 h 38 m | Show |
Take Alabama. This is my NCAAF GAME OF THE YEAR. Game n151. 5:10 pm pst. After suffering their first loss of the season, Alabama came back to crush #1 Clemson, 24-6 in the Sugar Bowl. QB, Jalen Hurts leads an offense that has turned the ball over just 9 times this season. This offense doesn't make mistakes and doesn't wear down. The 10th ranked rushing unit opens up the passing game for Hurts to post 37.9 PPG. Georgia has a very strong defense, but they are stepping up in class here. Offensively, the Bulldogs have no passing game, ranking 120th and completing just 12.1 passes per game. They are all about the rush. Alabama counters with the #1 run defense in the nation. The Crimson Tide stout DL and speedy LB corps will get to soph QB, Jake Fromm and create TO's. One more "FUN FACT", Nick Saban is 11-0 SU in his career vs. former assistant coaches. Take Alabama. Thank you. |

01-07-18 | Panthers v. Saints -6.5 | Top | 26-31 | Loss | -115 | 96 h 3 m | Show |
When it comes to BIG GAMES, you know, who to come to. this Sunday, I have my NFL WILD CARD GAME OF THE YEAR. Sportsfans, if you never play another NFL game again, you MUST be on this BIG GAME WINNER of the YEAR. Take New Orleans. This is my Wild Card Game of the Year. Game 108. 1:30 pm pst. New Orleans took both of this season's meetings over Carolina (SU and ATS), posting a combined, 65 points. Drew Brees has figured out the Panthers "D". The QB leads an offense that accounts for over 28.0 PPG, equally strong in the air as well as on the ground. But it will be in the air here that the Saints offense will soar. Cam Newton has no passing attack to speak of and the fact that he is the team's leading rusher is a scary, scary, scary fact. New Orleans is 6-0 ATS the K6 meetings in this series, 4-0 ATS their L4 games played in the month of January, 13-4 ATS their L17 games vs. the NFC South, and 5-2 ATS their L7 games played at home. Take the Saints. Thank you. |

11-12-17 | Jets -2.5 v. Bucs | Top | 10-15 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 27 m | Show |
Take New York. This is my STL play. Game259. 10:00 am pst. How can things get any worse, guys for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Ryan Fitzpatrick will be taking over the reins, while the teams top receiver, Mike Evans has to serve a 1-game suspension. The Bucs are riding a 5-game SU skid and haven’t covered a single game since Week 1 against the Bears. They don’t have a pass rush at all as a team has just 8 sacks on the season. This will benefit Jets QB, Josh McCown, who looked pretty darn good LW in the team's, 34-21 victory over the Bills. He gets to face a TB defense ranking 30th against the pass. Meanwhile New York comes in here covering 7 in a row and feeling pretty damn good about themselves. The Jets are 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings against the Bucs and guess what guys? They’re going to win and cover here. With a line under a FG, take New York as an early Christmas gift. Thank you. |

11-11-17 | Alabama -13 v. Mississippi State | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 13 m | Show |
Take Alabama. This is my SEC WEST GAME OF THE YEAR. game 177. 4:00 pm pst. Sportsfans, let’s talk about why Alabama will absolutely crush Mississippi State today. As you all know, the Crimson Tide are ranked second in the polls behind the Georgia Bulldogs. Well Georgia plays Auburn at 12:30 PM PST today, as this contest kicks off at 4:00 pm pst. The Tigers match up well with the Bulldogs and can upend them. I’m not saying they will, I’m saying they can. Now if Georgia wins, Alabama needs to keep their foot on the gas in today’s match up to make sure they get a decisive victory. Let’s say the sake of argument, Georgia loses, then Alabama still needs to not just win but must put forth maximum effort as to confirm a number one ranking. Alabama has won the last 9 in the series, going 6-3 ATS. This includes 2 blowouts the L2 years, winning 31-6 in 2015 and 51-3 in 2016. Now as of print, the Crimson Tide look like they may be without two of their starting defenders, but don’t read too much into it as this team is loaded with play makers and every position and then some. The Mississippi State Bulldogs have a solid team however, they face the #1 stop-unit in the nation here. Understand that Mississippi State is not a passing team as they rank 110th in the air. They are a running team. Well this doesn’t bode well as they face the #2 run defense in college football, allowing a mere, 77.3 YPG on the ground. Bulldogs QB, Nic Fitzgerald is shaky guys, he has just 13 touchdowns compared to 10 interceptions. He is also the team's leading rusher as well. Trust me my friends, he will not be able to run the ball well here at all. And when he goes to the air, he will throw interceptions against a very, very good, Crimson Tide secondary. Alabama is awesome on both ends of the ball, but as you know they ranked #1 in overall defense allowing just 9.8 PPG. Mississippi State stepped up in class twice this season and went 0-2 both straight up and against the spread losing 31-3 to Georgia and 49-10 to Auburn. Well they are stepping up in class again today. The very accurate, and mistake-free, play caller, Jalen Hurts along with RB’s, Damien Harris and Bo Scarborough will devour the Bulldogs defense. Alabama is 6-1 ATS their L7 on the road, 7-3 ATS their L10 in the month of November, and 9-4 ATS their L13 Conference matchups. ROLL TIDE!!! Thank you. |

11-05-17 | Bucs v. Saints -6.5 | Top | 10-30 | Win | 100 | 44 h 41 m | Show |
Take New Orleans. This is my STL. Game 456. 10:00 am pst. Sports gambling is about streaks and the hottest team in pro football with 5 straight wins and covers, is the New Orleans Saints. They play host to just about the coldest team in the NFL, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who haven’t won a game in over a month and haven’t covered since Week 1. Bucs QB, Jameis Winston is dealing with a shoulder issue. He failed to throw a TD in LW‘s, 17-3 loss to the Panthers and now much face a much-improved Saints secondary. On the flipside, New Orleans starting RB, Mark Ingram fumbled twice in the 4th quarter and LW‘s, 20-12 victory over the Bears. You can be sure he will come in here with something to prove. But it will be a season-best performance by gunslinger, Drew Brees, who faces the 30th ranked pass "D" with a pass rush that has only tallied 7 total sacks on the year. The Buccaneers are 0-3-1 ATS their L4 games played on the road, 0-4 ATS their L4 games played against NFC opponents, and 0-5-1 ATS their L6 games played overall. The Saints are 8-1 ATS their L9 vs. teams with a losing record, 19-7-1 AYS their L27 games vs. NFC Foes, and 20-8 ATS their L28 games played overall. Take the Saints here. Thank you. |

Take Georgia State. This is my Sun Belt GOY. Game 355. 12:00 pm pst. It’s easy to overlook some of the lesser Conference matchups as far as the oddsmakers go. And that’s why I am coming in with Georgia State. The Panthers are -4 over Sunbelt rival, the Eagles of Georgia Southern. This line should be closer to -9 or -10. Southern is 0-7 SU and 1-5-1 ATS, including an 0-3 mark at home both SU and ATS, getting outscored by visitors by over 12.0 PPG as host. State is still alive in the Sunbelt race and enters this match up with that to motivate. This is a team that gets the bettors paid, going 22-6 ATS their L28 road games, 13-4-1 ATS their L18 Conference games, and 4-1 ATS their L5 overall games. They’ve taken the L3 meetings in this series in 2014, 2015, 2016, by an average of 20.3 PPG. QB, Connor Manning will carve up one of the worst defenses in football (40.9 PPG allowed, ranks 127th). The Eagles are 2-8 ATS their L10 Conference games, 1-8 ATS their L9 home games, and 5-15-1 ATS their L21 overall games. Take Georgia State here. Thank you. |

10-29-17 | Steelers -2.5 v. Lions | Top | 20-15 | Win | 100 | 48 h 59 m | Show |
Take Pittsburgh. This is my NFL GOM. Game 271. 5:30 pm pst. Pittsburgh is back, not just winning, but covering as well. The Steelers come of b-2-b wins and covers over the Chiefs and the Bengals. A 30-9 embarrassing loss to the Jaguars 3 weeks ago, lit a fire under their ass. Le Veon Bell is back, as the RB has registered at least 134YR or more in 3 of their L4 outings. With the ground game rolling, it allows Ben Roethlisberger to work play-action with a slew of great receivers. Detroit comes in losing their L2 both SU and ATS and 3 of the L4 overall. QB, Matthew Stafford looks to be still hampered with a lingering injury. Golden Tate is banged-up and I just don’t see the Lions moving the chains with any success against me #3 defense in football (16.6 PPG allowed). The Steelers are 7-3 ATS their L10 games played on the road, 14-6-1 ATS their L21 games played in October, and 11-5-1 ATS their L17 games played overall. The Lions are 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home, 1-6 ATS their L7 vs. teams with a winning record, and 3-8 ATS their L11 games played overall. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you. |

10-28-17 | Virginia +2 v. Pittsburgh | Top | 14-31 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 39 m | Show |
Take Virginia. This is my ACC GOM. Game 137. 9:30 am pst. Virginia got a little ahead of themselves LW, as they had a chance to become bowl-eligible and got caught dreaming of a post-season berth, in their 41-10 beat down at the hands of Boston College. Now, the Cavaliers go into Heinz Field and take on a Panthers team that found a running game for the first time with a win over the Blue devils a week ago. Pitt is horrible when getting bettors paid at home, sporting a 4-13 ATS mark their L17 at home under Pat Narduzzi and actually going back further, 7-20 ATS their L27 overall at home. Virginia who will not pass up another opportunity to become bowl-eligible, had a 4-game win and cover streak snapped with those victories coming over such notables as Connecticut, Boise State, Duke, and North Carolina. The Cav‘s can and will stifle the Panthers offense, countering with a very well-balanced defense, yielding just 23.0 PPG. On the flipside, quarterback, Kurt Benkert (1806 YP, 62.3% CR, 15/4) will shred a Pitt pass defense that ranks 117th. To balance the attack and keep The Panthers “D“ on their heels is RB, Jordan Ellis (602YR, 5 TD's). Pittsburgh's starting QB, Max Browne is still sidelined, leaving the offense for just the 3rd time in his career, in the hands of Ben DiNucci. He’s in trouble as the unit still only averages 3.8 YPC on the ground. The Cavs are 8-3-2 ATS their L13 games played on the road and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. The Panthers are 1-3-1 ATS their L5 Conference games and 2-6-2 ATS their L10 games played overall. Take the field goal with Virginia. Thank you. |

10-19-17 | Chiefs -3 v. Raiders | Top | 30-31 | Loss | -108 | 30 h 26 m | Show |
Take Kansas City. This is my THURSDAY NIGHT GAME OF THE YEAR. Game 301. 5:25 pm pst. Kansas City suffered their first loss of the season (both SU and ATS) in Sunday', 19-13 defeat at the hands of a Pittsburgh team that matched up well with them and caught the Chiefs in an ideal spot. Don't expect another subpar effort from Alex Smith and the 7th ranked passing game or from the 4th ranked rushing game, led by RB, Kareem Hunt. Smith goes up against the 20th ranked pass defense while Hunt faces the 21st ranked run defense of the Raiders. Derek Carr returned to action but the Oakland offense obviously was scaled back because of the immobile QB. Oh, BTW, the play-caller has already tallied 4 INT's. Alex Smith is 9-1 with 19 TD's and just 4 INT's in his L10 games vs. the Raiders as the Chiefs have taken 5 in a row SU, going 4-1 ATS. The Road Team is 21-7 the L28 meetings in this series. Kansas City is 11-3 ATS the L14 games played at Oakland, 14-3 ATS their L14 games played on the road, and 6-0 ATS their L6 games played vs. AFC West opponents. Oakland is 0-4 ATS their L4 games played vs. teams with a winning record, 2-5 ATS their L7 games played AFC West foes, and 0-4 ATS their L4 games played overall. Take the Chiefs. Thank you. |

10-15-17 | Packers -3 v. Vikings | Top | 10-23 | Loss | -104 | 41 h 58 m | Show |
Take Green Bay. This is my STL play. Game 259. 10:00 am pst. Sports fans, this is the game that Green Bay makes their statement to rest of the NFC. For starters, Minnesota RB, Dalvin Cook is out and both QB, Matthew Stafford and the NFC's leading WR, Stefon Diggs are both banged up and as of print, have not practiced all week. Aaron Rodgers has the passing game running smoothly, as usual. BUT, the big news is the OTHER Aaron, RB, Aaron Jones. Jones replaced Ty Montgomery LW and tallied 125 YR on 19 carries for 1 TD against a very good Cowboys front-7. No matter what, the Vikings offense is relying upon a non-existent running game. Latavius Murray ain't no Adrian Peterson. The Packers are 46-22 ATS their L68 vs. NFC North foes and 10-4 ATS their L14 games played overall. The Vikings are 1-6 ATS their L7 for NFC North opponents and 2-5 ATS their L7 vs. teams with a winning record. Take GB here minus the FG. Thank you. |

Take Auburn. This is my TEN DIMES PLAY. Game 207. 12:30 pm pst. Auburn is playing as good as any team in the country. They are off to a 3-0 start in League play, tied with Alabama in the SEC West....AND, 'Bama has some tough games coming up. So Auburn needs to keep their foot on the gas. LSU, on the other hand comes in with a Conference loss, getting blown out by Mississippi State. If you remember, they got upended 2 weeks ago, 24-21, as a 21-pt favorite, to Troy. Then LW, they played a very physical contest in a 17-16 win and no cover against Florida. THEY ARE GONNA' LET DOWN HERE FOLKS. Auburn QB, Jarrett Stidham has 4 ball-carriers at his disposal, led by a now 100% healthy, Kerryon Johnson (504 YR on 5.9 YPC, and 12 TD's). Johnson's legs allow Stidham to open up the passing game. LSU has not faced an offense this talented yet and is also going up against the #6 ranked stop-unit (13.0 PPG). LSU loses this game by 14 or more points. Take Auburn. Thank you. |

Take Pittsburgh. This is my AFC NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH. Game 265. 10:00 am pst.
Both Pittsburgh and Baltimore come off disappointing losses. I like the Steelers to bounce back here, STRONG, as they are much further along than the Ravens. Baltimore's offense is absolutely non-existent. Joe Flacco heads up heads the 32nd ranked passing unit. Listeners I never thought he was a world-beater, but the QB is obviously still not 100% and sitting out the entire pre-season prevented him from shaking off any rust. Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger came out and took the blame for the offense sputtering earlier this week. But a slow start for RB, LeVeon bell has to take some blame as well. this is an excellent "BOUNCE BACK" team. But, Big Ben has a very potent arsenal of receivers at his disposal while the defense is yielding just 16.7 PPG. The Steelers are still the best team in their Division and will prove it here. Lay the FG as they won't have any problems covering it while trying to bring back some of their recently departed fan base. Take Pitt. Thank you. |

Take Georgia. This is my SEC East Game of the Month. Game 179. 12:30 pm pst. Revenge is a dish best served cold and Georgia is not just looking for revenge, they are looking for double revenge having dropped the L2 vs. Tennessee. But these aren't the same 2 teams. The Bulldogs are 4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS with wins over such notables as Notre Dame and Mississippi State. Tennessee is 3-1 SU but 1-3 against the number. They had a lot of trouble against the Georgia Tech rushing attack in Week 1, then got outplayed by Florida 2 weeks ago, then just LW, eked out a 17-13 win over UMASS...UMASS!!! The Volunteers defense ranks 118th vs. the run. Well guys, in comes the Bulldogs with one of the best ground assaults in the nation, behind the trio of RB's, Chubb, Swift, and Michel, who have combined for 759 YR and 9 TD's. Tennessee is dead-last in the SEC in run "D", getting plowed for 243.3 YPG on to the rush. QB, Jake Fromm, what can I say, guys, 62.3% CR, 650 YP, and 7/1. The running game will open up the pass here. Georgia is also the healthier team and brings into this matchup, the 8th ranked stop-unit in the land, allowing just 11.5 PPG. They are 4-0 ATS their L4 games played on the road, 5-2 ATS their L7 Conference games, and 4-1 ATS their L5 overall. The DOGS bark here. Take Georgia. Thank you. |

09-29-17 | USC v. Washington State +5 | Top | 27-30 | Win | 100 | 18 h 28 m | Show |
Take WSU. Game 112. 7:30 pm pst. USC is riding a 13-game win streak, including 4-0 SU this season but all 4 of those contests were close calls, going 1-3 ATS. Trojans QB, Sam Darnold hasn't been as sharp as anticipated with 7 INT's against 9 TD's thus far. To make matters worse, the passing attack is dealing with several injuries at the WR position. The WSU offense can score points on any "D" in the country, behind their #3 passing unit (432.5 YPG in the air). QB, Luke Falk (76.9% CR, 14/1) makes very few errors and has 2 strong ball-carriers in Morrow and Williams. But it will be their defense (18.5 PPG allowed) that will get to mistake-prone, Darnold and force TO's. The Trojans are 3-8 ATS their L11 road games, 1-5 ATS their L6 in September, and 1-4 ATS their L5 overall. The Cougars are 9-3 ATS their L12 as a 'dog, 13-6 ATS their L19 vs. Conference opponents, and 12-3 ATS their L15 following an ATS win. Take Washington State. Thank you. |

Take Central Michigan. This is my UD GOM. Game 149. 12:30 pm pst. The biggest question I have this Saturday, is how in the world can Syracuse be favored by 10 over a high school team, let alone a solid squad like Central Michigan??? The Chippewas have a veteran OL along with a 1-2 punch of QB, Shane Morris (693 YP 6/1 TD/INT) and RB, Jonathan Ward (206 YR 6.9 YPC). The Orange have failed to cover their first 2 games, including an outright loss LW as a 7 1/2 pt fav to the Blue Raiders of MTSU. When your leading rusher has just 104 yards and it's your QB, and you're not Louisville, there's a problem....CMU is 9-4 ATS their L13 non-CONF and 8-1 ATS their L9 in September. Syracuse is 1-4 ATS their L5 non-CONF and 0-4 ATS their L5 at home. Take the 10 points with CMU here but you may not even need them. Take the Chippewas. Thank you. |

Take Atlanta. This is my HR. Game 455. 10:00 am pst. The Falcons take the field for the first time since giving away a 25-point halftime lead in the Super Bowl. Atlanta boasts a well-balanced offense along with a very tough defense. Meanwhile, even Chicago faithful will be hard-pressed naming their starters with all the new faces they've added. As of print, Mike Glennon will be at the helm but the offense is sorely missing a solid workhorse, like Matt Forte. The Falcons will come out with something to prove and make a statement. Atlanta is an excellent road team, going 8-1 ATS their L9 games played away from home while Chicago is a notoriously slow starter, going 0-7 ATS their L7 games played in September . Take Atlanta. Thank you. |

Now they must face a very strong Idaho team with a pro-style pocket passer and some unconventional blocking schemes. The Vandals pushed a 28-6 victory over the Hornets in their opener following 8 straight covers (7-1 SU). They are also 6-0 ATS their L6 vs. teams with a losing record and 9-1-1 ATS their L11 games played overall. The Rebels are 2-6 ATS their L8 games played vs. teams with a winning record and 0-4 ATS their L4 games played in September. Take Idaho. Thank you. |

Jim McElwaine will have his very speedy offense ready to capitalize on this and get some payback here. Take note that this contest is being held at AT&T Stadium which will "spook" the Wolverines squad, consisting of just 5 returning overall starters. Take Florida. Thank you. |

This is a team touted at 100/1 just to take the AFC East, let alone the AFC Title. I don't expect to see too much, if any action by the Tennessee starters, however, backups, Matt Cassel, Derrick Henry, Eric Decker, and Tre McBride could all be starters on other teams.

We all know how good the Broncos "D" is but their offense is loaded. The Chicago Bears are touted as the next to worst team in the NFC (49ers). The team has almost no offense to speak of. Last pre-season, the Bears went 1-3 SU (2-2 ATS), with the opening season loss coming to the Broncos, 22-0. Vance Joseph is going to make a statement here. Take Denver. Thank you. |

The LH is 10-3 with a 2.77 ERA this season, leading the Major's with 155 K's, and already shutting down Toronto on April 20th, fanning 13, while allowing just 4 hits, in 8 scoreless IP. Boston has taken 3 of the 4 meetings over Toronto in 2017, by an average of 2.33 RPG. The Blue Jays enter this matchup dropping 6 of their L8, sitting in last place in the Division at 37-42.

Take Cleveland. This is my NBA FINALS GOY. Game 701. 6:00 pm pst. Cleveland fell 3-1 in last year's Finals against Golden State, just to come back and win 3 straight and take the NBA Championship. These 2 teams split 2 meetings this season. The Warriors played 1 less playoffs game than did the Cavs, and had 3 extra days off. However, by game day, Cleveland will have had 6 full days off to rest and prepare. Golden State will have problems here, as Cleveland possesses a big, strong, and deep squad, that gives the Cavaliers an edge here in Game 1. Cleveland plays a more physical game and does not get enough credit for their frustrating style of defense. The Cavs can beat you with their inside game, but when the Warriors try to make the necessary changes, Cleveland, who happens to have the 2nd ranked 3-pt shooting team in the NBA, will devour Golden State (who isn't accustomed to facing long-range shooting teams of this caliber) from the outside. Durant and Green have a matchup nightmare against James and Love here. Curry will get his points, but the erratic post-season play of Thompson is going to be detrimental in this series. Giving LeBron James and the defending World Champs 7 points in the opener, is a mistake. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings vs. the Warriors, 7-0-1 ATS their L8 games played on the road, and 8-2-1 ATS their L11 games played overall. The Warriors are 1-3-1 ATS their L5 games played after scoring 125 points or more in their previous game, 1-4 ATS their L5 games played on 3 or more days rest, and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home vs. teams with a winning road record.

The opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals showed us how tired Boston is from playing 13 rough and physical playoff games in Rounds 1 and 2. Cleveland's time off showed no rust whatsoever in Game 1, giving the Cavaliers 4 wins over the Celtics in the 5 meetings this season. The 3 best rebounders on the court all happen to be on the Cavs (Love, Thompson, and James). The Road Team is 8-2 ATS the L11 meetings between these two teams. Cleveland is 5-1 ATS the L6 games played in Boston, 5-0-1 ATS their L6 games played on the road, and 6-0-1 ATS their L7 games played overall. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you. |

Take Cleveland. This is my ECF GOM. Game 721. 5:30 pm pst. Cleveland has won all 8 of their post-season contests, covering the L6. The Cavs are well-rested, playing their last game 10 days ago. Boston enters the Eastern Conference Finals having played 13 playoff games, including a tiring, 7-game showdown with Washington, ending just 2 days ago. Isaiah Thomas has carried the Celtics this post-season. Looking closely at the Guards career, he is in his 3rd season, but the first campaign with significant playing time. His rookie season, Boston was swept in Rd 1 by Cleveland and last year, ousted by Atlanta, also in the opening round. The Cavaliers are one of the NBA's top-scoring (110.3 PPG), and most-accurate teams (47.0%), and the #2 squad from beyond the arc (38.4%). LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are combining for 58.2 PPG and 12.9 RPG in the playoffs. While the trio of James, along with Tristan Thompson, and Kevin Love are the 3 best rebounders by far, on the court, teaming up for 28.7 RPG this post-season. Cleveland took 3 of the 4 meetings this season over Boston, by an average of 11.6 PPG. The Road Team is 7-2-1 ATS the L10 meetings in this series. The Cavs are 4-1 ATS the L5 games played in Boston, 4-0-1 ATS their L5 games played on the road, and 5-0-1 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take Cleveland. Thank you. |

Take Cleveland. This is my NBA GAME OF THE YEAR. Game 735. 4:00 pm pst. Cleveland has won all 6 playoff games, covering their L4, including Games 1 and 2 of this series. If you recall, the Cavs won and covered the first 2 games of LY's post-season matchup over the Raptors, then lost and failed to cover Games 3 and 4 in Toronto. They did take the next 2 to oust the Raptors and move to their eventual Championship over the Warriors. King James is averaging 34.2 PPG in the 2017 playoffs and is said to be on a mission to end this series quickly to have the team rest before the next round. Toronto can not defend the future NBA HOF'er. When they try to, Irving and Love have eaten them alive...not to mention Frye and his five 3-pointers in Game 2. DeRozan's erratoc play this series along with Lowry's tweaked ankle, will just add to Toronto's misery this contest. NO WAY does Cleveland let this team duplicate LY's Game 3 success. The Cavaliers are 9-4 ATS the L13 games played at the Raptors and 6-1 ATS their L7 Conf Semi Final games. The Raptors are 2-6 ATS their L8 overall games vs. the Cavs and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home. Take Cleveland. Thank you. |

Take Golden State. This is my 1st Rd GOY. Game 507. 7:35 pm pst. Golden State has taken 8 in a row SU over Portland. The Warriors have easily beaten the Blazers in Games 1 and 2 of this series by 12 and 29 points. They would love to finish this series early and get some rest and prepare for the next round.

Take Chicago. This is my NBN play. Game 709. 5:05 pm pst. Chicago lost and failed to cover both meetings vs. New York this season, but these are not the same 2 teams as in their November and January matchups. The Bulls have won their L4 in a row SU (3-1 ATS) and are making a real post-season push. The Knicks are 4-12 SU the last month and are without Joakim Hoah (suspension), and just lost Derrick Rose for the season (knee). Chicago is 5-0 ATS their L5 on the road, 6-2 ATS their L8 vs. the Eastern Conference, and 7-2 ATS Their L9 overall. Take the Bulls. Thank you. |

04-03-17 | North Carolina -1 v. Gonzaga | Top | 71-65 | Win | 100 | 29 h 16 m | Show |
Take North Carolina. This is my GOY. Game 601. 6:20 pm pst Under a basket, I must side with Roy Williams and his experienced post-season Tar Heels over a Bulldogs team that haven’t played an underdog role this season. North Carolina has the size, the strength, the depth, to keep Gonzaga at bay. UNC has the top-rebounding squad in the nation not to mention a 21-10-1 ATS record their L32 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite. Last season's last-second loss to Villanova hasn't set well with Williams and his team. Gonzaga is 1-4-1 ATS their L6 NCAA Tourney games and 0-3-1 ATS their L4 vs. ACC opponents. Take the Tar Heels. Thank you. |

Take UNC. This is my TEN DIMES. Game 814. 5:35 pm pst. NCAA Big Dance experience and size favors North Carolina here. The Tar Heels lead the nation in rebound margin (plus -13). The Ducks just aren't used to playing as physical or as savvy a team that they are forced to play today. Oregon is 1-4 ATS their L5 vs. ACC while UNC is 7-1 ATS their L5 vs. PAC 12. Take the Tar Heels. Thank you. |

03-28-17 | CS Bakersfield +2.5 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 61-76 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 7 m | Show |
Take CSB. This is my Late Info Move. Game 777. 4:00 pm pst. Bakersfield may be flying under the radar but this is a team that was this seasons WAC regular season Champ and last season's winner of the WAC Tournament. They just knocked off Cal, CSU, and Utah outright as an underdog in all 3 contests. There is a ton of value in the little-known Road Runners as they are 10-1 ATS their L11 as a 'dog, 10-2 ATS their L12 non-Conference games, 11-3 ATS their L14 neutral site games, and 19-7 AYS their L26 overall. Of course, Georgia Tech represents the might ACC. However, they were the 11th ranked (of 15) in the League. The Yellow Jacket's have had issues putting points on the board and now will face a very good, 20th ranked (63.5 PPG allowed) Road Runners defense. Take CSB. Thank you. |

03-24-17 | South Carolina v. Baylor -3 | Top | 70-50 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 60 m | Show |
Take Baylor. This is my HR. Game 874. 4:25 pm pst. South Carolina has advanced the Sweet 16 for the for first time ever. This is a team that shoots a dismal, 41.09% from the floor, losing 6 of their L10 SU and is just 3-9 ATS their L12. Baylor is the real-deal, with a swarming defense that yields just 63.5 PPG, and possessing the superior rebounding squad on both ends of the floor. The frontcourt of Motley, Lual-Ucuil jr., and Masten will be too much in the paint for the "smallish" trio of Gamecocks starting Guards. The Bears do have a quintet of rotating Guards in Lecomte, Freeman, Wainwright, McClure, and Lindsey to match up with fresher legs. Take Baylor. Thank you. |

03-23-17 | Purdue v. Kansas -5 | Top | 66-98 | Win | 100 | 13 h 37 m | Show |
Take Kansas. This is my Ten Dimes. Game 812. 6:35 pm pst. Purdue has been an underdog 3 times this season, and have lost and failed to cover all 3 contests. Kansas is a more-disciplined, better-coached team that makes very few TO's, an area in which has plagued Purdue all season long. The Jayhawks have the depth to throw multiple defenders at the Boilermakers biggest and best player, Caleb Swanigan. This is basically a home game for KU, being played just 40 miles from home, in front of a friendly crowd. The Jayhawks are 6-1 ATS their L7 NCAA Tourney games as a favorite, 14-5 ATS their L19 neutral site games, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games vs. teams with a winning % of over .600. Take Kansas. Thank you. |

Take Iowa. This is my Dominator. Game 736. 2:00 pm pst. TCU has been a mess, sporting a 6-12 SU and 5-13 ATS mark the L2 months. The Horned Frogs post 73.7 PPG and face a monster of an offense here as Iowa averages over 80.2 PPG. The backcourt tandem of Jok and Bohannon (30.3 PPG combines) will take this game on their back while the frontcourt trio of Cook, Pemsl, and Baer open up the paint. TCU is 1-5 ATS their L6 on the road, 0-4 ATS their K4 vs. Big Ten foes, and 3-12 ATS their L15 vs. teams with a SU winning record. Iowa is 10-4-1 ATS their L15 at home, 5-0-1 ATS their L6 non-Conference games, and 5-1 ATS their L6 overall. Take the Hawkeyes. Thank you. |

03-17-17 | Seton Hall +1.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 71-77 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 41 m | Show |
Take Seton Hall. This is my Dominator. Game 623. 10:30 am pst. Arkansas' only big man, Moses Kingsley was a non-factor (8 points & 6 rebounds) in the team's 82-65 loss to Kentucky in their last outing. Now he must contend with both Angel DelGado and Desi Rodriguez (31.2 PPG & 18.2 RPG combined). Seton Hall will dominate the paint, while the best player on the court, Khadeem Carrington (16.9 PPG) controls the tempo. The Pirates are 5-0 ATS their L5 following a SU loss and 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. teams with a winning % of over .600.

MT ST is 2-0 this season against major Conference opponents (Vandy & Ole' Miss) and bring to the table the 20th ranked "D", yielding just 63.3 PPG. Minny has dropped 2 of their L3 and doesn't exactly light up scoreboards. It goes from bad to worse today as they have to deal with two 6'8" and a 6'10", frustrating frontcourt of MT ST. The Blue Raiders are 9-0 ATS their L9 games played vs. teams with a winning % of over .600, 6-1 ATS their L7 non-Conference games, and 21-7 ATS their L28 games played overall. Take MT ST.

They host a Colorado team that is just 4-8 SU and 4-11-1 ATS away from Boulder TY. The Guard-oriented Buffs will have nightmares facing the big, tall frontcourt of the Knights, who allow just 60.6 PPG (4th) on 36.2% shooting (1st) and own one of the best rebounding squads (on both ends of the court) in the nation. Colorado is 0-4 ATS their L4 on the road, 3-8 ATS their L11 non-Conference games, and 2-5 ATS their L7 overall. Take UCF. Thank you. |

Take Colorado State. This is my Oddsmakers Mistake play. Game 556. 6:00 pm pst. CSU should be closer to a 9-point favorite in this matchup. Charleston does not play the same level of competition as foe CSU. Major mismatch here...Defensively, the Rams rank 62nd, yielding just 37.4 PPG and the anemic, Charleston "O" will be overwhelmed. 2nd major mismatch...on the boards where CSU's, Omagbo will reign supreme. The Cougars are 1-5 ATS their L6 as an underdog while the Rams are 4-1-1 ATS their L6 at home. Take CSU. Thank you. |

Northwestern took down Wisconsin a month ago to get an outright win and cover, 66-59 as an 11-point underdog to give the Wildcat's 3 straight ATS wins against the Badgers. NW has been money, going 4-1 ATS their L5 overall, while Wiscy is continuously over-valued by oddsmakers, riding a 5-10 ATS run. While the Badgers are known for defense, just over recent games, have been scorched for 83 and 84 points to the Spartans and Hawkeyes. The Wildcats' "D" is stronger. Over the L5 weeks, they have yielded a mere, 65.4 PPG to bring their season stat down to 64.7 PPG allowed. Wisconsin is 3-7 ATS their L10 vs. Big Ten foes, 1-5 ATS their L6 following an ATS win, and 2-6 ATS their L8 vs. teams with a winning % of over .600.

The Mountaineers are a disappointing, 4-14 SU, since the New Year began, covering just 6 of those 18 games. They are simply outmatched here as the Trojans "D" have stepped up in recent months (72.8 PPG allowed overall), while Jordon Varnado (16.2 PPG & 6.9 RPG) leads a deep and healthy offense. App State is 1-5 ATS their L6 games following a SU win and 1-4 ATS their L5 games vs. Sun Belt foes. Troy is 6-1 ATS their L7 games following an ATS loss and 15-7 ATS their L22 games overall.

The Bulldog's have, in both meetings, had 4 DD scorers, while holding the Gael's to way below their seasonal stats. Gonzaga is too good on both sides of the court here and have the depth to contain SMC's, Jock Londale. The Gael's are 1-11 ATS the L12 meetings in this series, 0-4 ATS their L4 games played as an underdog, and 1-4 ATS their L5 neutral sites games played as an underdog.

Take St. Mary's. This is my Dominator. Game 542. 8:30 pm pst. St. Mary's won both meetings over BYU this campaign, each by 13 points. The Gaels have been money all season long, behind the nation's #2 defense (56.1 PPG allowed) and #1 rebounding "D" (23.6 RPG allowed). This is a healthy, talented, and confident team led my Center, Jock Londale (16.9 PPG & 9.4 RPG). BYU is playing good basketball, however, the loss of both, Guard, LJ Rose and Forward, Kyle Davis will hurt the Cougars in the post-season. BYU is 2-8-2 ATS their L12 following a SU win and 4-25 ATS their L29 neutral site games as an underdog. St. Mary's is 4-0-1 ATS their L5 vs. WCC opponents and 7-1 ATS their L8 as a favorite of 7-12.05 points. Take the Gaels. Thank you. |

Their swarming defense is frustrating foes and in comes Charlotte, who is just 3-7 both SU and ATS, their L10. Guards, Artis and Harris are one of the best backcourt tandems in the country.

Take Dayton. This is my A-10 GOM. Game 877. 6:00 pm pst. Dayton is tied with VCU at 13-2 in A-10 play, with Rhode Island and Richmond at 10-5. Dayton has today's game and then a matchup with VCU, before their finale against GW. The Flyers, in all logic, shouldn't have a problem with the Colonials, So they need a win here today. They are red-hot, riding a 15-2 SU run, covering 5 straight on the road. Davidson has collapsed in February, donning a 2-4 SU and ATS mark for the month. Things go from bad to worse here as the Wildcats season long issue of not having a consistent supporting cast for tandem 20+ PPG scorers, Gibbs and Aldridge. Now with 3rd leading scorer, Will sitting the L2 (concussion) and listed as questionable tonight, scoring will be even more difficult against a Flyers "D" that allows just. 64.7 PPG on 40.5% shooting.

Take Oregon. This is my Dominator. Game 656. 12:00 pm pst. There are a few factors motivating Oregon here. For starters, they are 1-game behind Arizona in the PAC 12. They have won 41 straight at home. This game is their season home finale. And, oh yeah, the Ducks took a 74-65 loss to the Buffaloes just 3 weeks ago in Boulder. This is payback time for Oregon, who shellacked Colorado, 76-56 LY in Eugene. The Ducks have shredded Conference visitors, winning all 8 PAC 12 home games by an average of 19.1 PPG, going 7-1 ATS. Colorado is just 3-7-1 on the road TY and have a very long day ahead of them here. The Buffs won't have the same luck as the earlier matchup, having to contend with one of the nation's top defenses in PPG, FG%, 3-pt%, and on the boards. The sharp-shooting Ducks are looking to grab the Conference's top-seed and must win big today, while exacting their revenge here. The Home Team is 7-0 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Colorado is 2-6 ATS their L8 games vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600 and 5-11-1 ATS their L17 games played overall.

Now Troy may be a .500 team at 12-12 overall but the Trojans are money away from home, sporting a 10-3 ATS mark on the campaign. The Ragin' Cajuns have but 2 rebounders, in Forward's, Washington and Miller which won't bode well as the Trojans have 5 big men that can board to rotate and wear down the ULL pair.

This is still a monster team with the coach that knows he has to keep his foot on the gas in this matchup. The Wildcats have owned the Gators, beating them the last five meetings and covering the last four. Florida does play good defense, however Kentucky is loaded with play makers and scorers that hit nearly 50% from the floor. There's no way Kentucky getting 2 1/2 points isn't the winner today.

01-22-17 | Steelers v. Patriots -6 | Top | 17-36 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show |
Take New England. This is my AFC Game of the Year. Game 314. 3:40 pm pst. Tom Brady has had amazing success against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Just over the last six meetings in this series, the future Hall of Fame quarterback has tallied 19 touchdown passes and zero interceptions. Over his career, Brady has faced the Steelers 11 times, boasting a 9-2 record and accumulating a whopping, 26 touchdown passes against just three interceptions. Yes, Pittsburgh has won 9 straight, but ask yourself who did they win against? And if you look at their schedule, they haven't had to face a team of the caliber they're going to face today. Over the season, their offense had problems in the red zone. In the beginning, their quarterback was injured, running back was injured, some receivers were injured, and both their offensive and defensive lines were missing some players. Then as the season progressed, they became healthy and returned, but yet, they were still having problems punching it in for touchdowns in the red zone so the talk was they were rusty. But now they're all healthy and they are still having trouble in the red zone settling for field goals instead of touchdowns, as you saw last week against Kansas City, when they accounted for 18 points on six field goals and zero touchdowns. New England has the number one defense in the NFL (15.6 points per game allowed), and they've yielded 17 points or less in seven of their last eight contests. On both sides of the football the Patriots are way too speedy in this matchup. HC, Bill Belichik, along with DC, Matt Patricia got together with the rest of the defensive coaches and trust me, they are going to change up schemes, and change players and confuse the Steelers offense, particularly the OL, and force mistakes. By far, New England possesses the much better coach both as far as preparation goes and on the field. The Pittsburgh defense is not the same as it was a few years ago, although it did improve this year but please remember they are starting three rookies that must go on up against a great offensive unit that now possesses a healthy and solid offensive line that will allow the speedy running back, Louis and also the veteran, Blount to keep the Pittsburgh defense honest and open up Tom Terrific and the passing game. Ben Roethlisberger threw some unnecessary passes and made some risky decisions last week against a less than stellar Kansas City defense. He will not be able to get away with that today against the New England stop unit. Let's face it, the Steelers really haven't faced a defense like the one they will face today since probably the last meeting back in October. There is no way they could keep a score for score here. Pittsburgh is 4-11 against the spread their last 15 games played versus New England and 1-3-2 against the spread their last six road playoff games. New England is 5-0 against the spread their last five games played against AFC opponents, 4-1 against the spread the last five playoff games, and 25-9-2 against the spread their last 36 games played at home. Take the Patriots. Thank you. |

01-21-17 | Pennsylvania v. St. Joe's -3 | Top | 71-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
Take St. Joes. This is my Mismatch GOM. Game 644. 4:00 pm pst. A bottom dweller (0-3) in the Ivy League just can't measure up to a mediocre, ATL 10 team. Penn is in all kinds of trouble here. They must try to slow down 4 DD scorers, 7 players that average 4.1 or more RPG, and do what no opponent has done yet, stop Shavar Newkirk (20.2 PPG). The Quakers are 3-8 ATS the L11 meetings in this series, 2-6 ATS their L8 games played vs. ATL 10 foes, and 0-4 ATS their L4 games played overall. Take the Hawks. Thank you |

01-18-17 | Notre Dame v. Florida State -5.5 | Top | 80-83 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Take Florida State. This is my ACC GOM. Game 536. 4:00 pm pst. Florida State is a monster team. The Seminoles were riding a 12-game hot streak before Saturday's tough loss to the Tar Heels. But in that streak, they got past Florida, Virginia, and Duke. They own a 12-0 home record, going 8-2 ATS, and are outscoring visitors by an average of 21.4 PPG. Notre Dame is 5-0 in league play but must contend today with an FSU team that is 4-1 in Conference contests, averages 86.5 PPG, and hits 50.5% from the field. Not to mention, they are going to be in trouble on the glass here. The Seminoles are 12-4 ATS their L16 games played at home, 4-1 ATS their L5 games played vs. ACC opponents, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played overall. Take Florida State. Thank you. |

01-17-17 | Rockets -7.5 v. Heat | Top | 103-109 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
Take Houston. This is my TV Game of the Month. Game 703. 4:35 pm pst. Bosh out. McRoberts out. Richardson out. Reed banged-up. And now, Winslow out. Miami is on a 1-10 SU run (4-7 ATS) to drop the team to the 2nd worst record in the NBA at 11-30 overall. Houston won 9 straight, but a little fatigue set in, resulting in b-2-b losses. But after a night off, the Rockets shredded the Nets, 137-112, and had last night off. James Harden and company are 100% healthy, averaging 114.9 PPG (2nd in the NBA), and are dominating the boards. They are 6-2 ATS the L8 meetings in this series. Take Houston. Thank you. |

01-15-17 | Steelers +2 v. Chiefs | Top | 18-16 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
Take Pittsburgh. Game 305. 5:20 pm pst. Pittsburgh drubbed Kansas City, 43-14, in Week 4. The Steelers enter this matchup winning 8 straight, scoring 24 or more in each. Big Ben, Leveon Bell, and Antonio Brown are all 100% healthy. Speaking of Roethlisberger, he has a career, 12-6 post-season record, including a 6-3 mark on the road. KC's 2016 Wildcard win over Houston was their first after 8 consecutive playoff losses. Then they lost the following week to New England. Their running and passing games are mediocre at best. Pittsburgh matches up well here and they will be blitzing all day long. Bell will get his yards against the 26th ranked run defense of the Chiefs. KC is 1-7 ATS their L8 playoff games, 0-4 ATS their L4 home playoff games, and 3-8 ATS their L overall home games. Pittsburgh is 12-3-3 ATS their L18 games played in the month of January, 3-0-1 ATS their L4 Divisional playoff games, and 4-0 ATS their L4 on the road. Take the Steelers. Thank you. |

01-09-17 | Clemson v. Alabama -6 | Top | 35-31 | Loss | -115 | 36 h 52 m | Show |
Take Alabama. Game of the Year. Game 152. 5:00 pm pst. Last year's National Championship was settled by 5 points. The best college football coach in the country, Nick Saban will take no chances here to ensure the teams 5th Title in 10 years. Alabama has played a much higher quality of opponent. Their defense ranks #1 nationally in points allowed (11.4 PPG) and #1 against the run (62.4 YPG on the ground). Clemson will not be able to run the ball which will allow the big, stout, Tide defense to get to QB, Watson. The Tigers gave up a ton of points to Troy, Louisville, Florida State, Pittsburgh, and Virginia Tech. I can see The Cards and Seminoles but the other teams are really no threat, offensively. Not to mention, Clemson just hasn't played a team of this caliber this year and will come in over-confident. Take Alabama. Thank you. |

01-07-17 | Fresno State -2 v. San Jose State | Top | 62-69 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
Take Fresno State. This is my MWC GOM. Game 801. 2:00 pm pst. Fresno State comes into this matchup covering 9 straight contests and is a perfect, 6-0 ATS on the road this season. The Bulldogs trio of Guards, Watson, Taylor, and Hopkins are combining for 39.5 PPG and will penetrate the paint here while big men, Forwards, Edo and Russo (22.4 PPG combined) are teaming up for over 13.6 RPG and will dominate the glass against this SJ State team that has been doormat in the key (overall, yielding 77.1 PPG their L6). The Bulldogs shoot a "lights-out" 47.9% from the floor and play very solid "D." FSU is 10-1 ATS their L11 games played on the road, 14-3 ATS their L17 games played vs. MWC foes, and 21-6 ATS their L27 overall games played. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you. |

Take Loyola Chicago. This is my MVC GOM. Game 538. 4:00 pm pst. Last year, when UNI was a good team, they couldn't beat Loyola in two tries. This season, the Panthers (5-8) are sorely missing 3 DD scorers, including Guard, Wes Waspun, who ran the offense. the Ramblers are a very accurate and disciplined shooting team. UNI is 0-5 ATS their L5 overall. Take Loyola Chicago. Thank you. |

12-28-16 | Kansas State +3 v. Texas A&M | Top | 33-28 | Win | 105 | 7 h 0 m | Show |
Take Kansas State. This is my TEN DIMES PLAY. Game 249. 6:00 pm pst. Kansas State has gotten better as the season progressed. In the second half of the campaign, they faced much better teams and finish the regular season at 5-1 straight up, without outright victories over Texas, Baylor, and Texas Christian. Texas A&M lost four of their last six games straight up and haven't covered a game since September, riding an 8-game against the spread slide. The Aggies are mediocre at best, vs. the run, and will get stampeded here by a Wildcats offense that averages 233.4 yards per game on the ground, possessing six ball-carriers that are each averaging 5.0 or more yards per carry and have combined for 36 rushing touchdowns. A&M's defense likes to rush the passer, which did backfire on them a few games back when they faced Mississippi State quarterback, Fitzgerald, who plays very much like Kansas State quarterback, Jesse Ertz. Fitzgerald buried them and so will Ertz today, who also happens to be the teams leading rusher. Kansas State is 4-1 ATS their L5 games when playing host in this series. while Texas A&M is 0-4 ATS their L4 straight meetings in the series. Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |

Take Tennessee. This is my HR. Game 115. 10:00 am pst. Very simply, Tennessee has quietly become a solid, 8-6 team behind a maturing, Marcus Mariota and the NFL’s 3rd ranked ground attack of DeMarco Murray. The Titans need to win out to host a playoff game and facing a Jaguars team that is 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS at home, riding an overall 9-game skid, and ranking towards the bottom of the League both offensively and defensively will get them one step closer. Take the Titans. Thank you. |

Take New York. This is my Thursday Night GOY. Game 101. 5:25 pm pst. New York is seeking their first post-season berth in 5 years. The Giants have won 8 of their L9 SU, going 7-2 ATS, and possessing a rejuvenated defense now ranking 3rd in the NFL, yielding just, 17.96 PPG. Philadelphia has 1 weapon in RB, Ryan Matthews, who now must face the #6 rush "D" in the League. The Eagles are riding a 5-game SU skid and have covered only 2 of their L8 contests. The Road Team is 15-7-1 ATS the L23 meetings in this series. Take New York. Thank you. |

Take Nevada. This is my GOW. Game 756. 2:30 pm pst. Nevada shares the top spot in the MWC with an overall record of 9-2. The Wolfpack are just too good for a Tigers team that doesn't play the same level of competition. Towson is 4-9 ATS their L13 non-Conference games and 0-6 ATS their L6 neutral site games. Take Nevada. Thank you. |

12-10-16 | George Mason +3 v. Pennsylvania | Top | 79-60 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
Take George Mason. This is my MISMATCH GOM. Game 529. 11:00. Penn has improved from LY's squad but that is going to show against Ivy League opponents, not against the ATL 10's top team. GMU has won 6 in a row SU over such notables as Kent, Bradley, JMU, UNI, Mercer, and PSU. The backcourt of Moore and Livingston II (32.6 PPG and 12.9 RPG combined) will take this game over. A lesser Patriots squad crushed the Quakers LY, by 19. GMU is 5-2 ATS their L7 vs. Ivy league foes and 5-1 ATS their L6 non-Conference games. Penn is 2-5 ATS their L7 vs. ATL 10 foes and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played at home. Take the Patriots. Thank you. |

Take Denver. This is my High Roller. Game 351. 10:00 am pst. Denver is 3rd in the AFC West at 7-4 and will start the very capable, Paxton Lynch at QB. The offense will score against the Jacksonville 27th ranked defense (allowing 26.6 PPG). Meanwhile, Blake Bortles and the League-worst TO squad (-15) must face the 2nd ranked pass "D" of the Broncos, who got even better LW, with the return of CB, Aqib Talib (missed 4 games). The Jaguars are 0-4 SU (1-3 ATS) at home this season and have been outscored by 8.8 PPG during their current 6-game skid. The Broncos are 14-5 ATS their L19 games following a SU loss. Take Denver. Thank you. |
