11-04-18 | Lions v. Vikings -5 | Top | 9-24 | Win | 100 | 116 h 10 m | Show |
Taking the VIKINGS. So, we had the Saints on Sunday and even though the scoreboard was all New Orleans, Minny wasn't terrible. If you tell anyone that Brees is tossing for 120 yards - that Ingram and Kamara are going 26 for 108, I would be worries NO is run out of town. But, turnovers hurt. So this is now a huge game for the Vikings. And normally, I might be thinking of taking the Lions. Heck. We lost with them last week. And have been on, and off them, in previous games. What really sticks out for me is that Detroit has thrown in the towel. As I write this they just trade their best WR in Golden Tate- Maybe there is a good reason. But at 3-4, with Minny 4-3-1 and Bears 4-3 GB 3-4-1 ahead of them, why send up the white flag? I don't get it one bit. A big take away from Sunday was the way Minny defended the run. And now the Lions will really lean on RB Kerryon Johnson. Again. Back to Minny being in a desperate spot. While Detroit looks to me they are throwing in the towel. 5* Best Bet MINNESOTA VIKINGS |

11-04-18 | Jets v. Dolphins -3 | Top | 6-13 | Win | 105 | 50 h 21 m | Show |
Taking the DOLPHINS. So - I was looking at the under in this game and saying how the Jets, barring that 48 spot at Detroit opening night, have scored 17-12-10 their other 3 road games. 20-12 back in September when these guys played. Brock, Tannehill. I mean for me, it doesn't matter. I have seen Brock put 23-21-28 up in his 3 games. NYJ missing some key guys. Powell gone for year. WRs Enunwa down and Anderson banged up. CB Johnson limited. Stills is probably out for Miami. I just think we see a big RB attack from Gore and Drake from the Dolphins. That keeps the pressure to a minimum on Brock. Miami with the extra rest of the loss at Houston. Can't discount that time to brush up on a rookie QB and his habits. 10* AFC East GOY MIAMI DOLPHINS |

11-03-18 | Florida Atlantic v. Florida International -3 | Top | 49-14 | Loss | -100 | 53 h 13 m | Show |
Taking FIU - Had these guys last week. We faded FAU last week. Team Lane a ship without a rudder. Big revenge spot as FAU walloped FIU last year 52-24. Shoe on the other foot this season. FIU top dogs right now in CUSA - 10* Money Bomb FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL |

11-03-18 | Missouri v. Florida -6 | Top | 38-17 | Loss | -106 | 50 h 53 m | Show |
Taking FLORIDA. Gators in off getting blasted in their game vs Georgia. But it wasn't anything like the way Missouri went down. Oh the humanity in losing on a TD pass as time expires. Tough to get over that. Now, in The Swamp. Florida lost last year 45-16. HC Mullen wasn't here for the Gators - But I am sure his players getting smacked like that. Lock 0-9 in his starts for MizzU vs 'ranked' teams. Can't see a let-down here as Gators in a position to win out and get 10 wins. 8* Sure Shot FLORIDA GATORS |

11-03-18 | Penn State v. Michigan -10.5 | Top | 7-42 | Win | 100 | 30 h 41 m | Show |
Taking MICHIGAN. 42-13 last year as PSU crushed the Wolverines. Pay-Back time. Defense will be able to contain McSorley. This will be a blood-bath. Michigan in off their bye week. Not going to overthink things here. Michigan the better team. 10* Money Bomb MICHIGAN WOLVERINES |

11-03-18 | Georgia -8 v. Kentucky | Top | 34-17 | Win | 100 | 50 h 37 m | Show |
Taking GEORGIA. Yeah. In off big win over Florida. Hangover game- Doubt it. This is for the SEC East. And they won't overlook a team a couple spots behind in the Playoff Ranking and a team 'ranked' 15 overall. Kentucky somehow pulled a rabbit out of the hat last week over Missouri (We had MizzU) - Punt return TD and that end of game TD pass. Brutal loss for those Tigers. And a huge win for Kentucky. Stoops doing nice job. But Kirby Smart is from Bama. And there are no let down games or look aheads in this coaching tree. Talent prevails and Bulldogs should win this one by double digits going away in the 2nd half. 5* Best Bet GEORGIA BULLDOGS |

11-03-18 | Iowa State -14 v. Kansas | Top | 27-3 | Win | 100 | 47 h 51 m | Show |
Taking IOWA STATE. Kansas just won their Super Bowl. A last second win over TCU. Now - Yes, Kansas now has 3 wins on the year. It wasn't like they were win-less. But TCU had been a pretty good program before falling apart this year. That is a huge win for Kansas. A literal last second FG with 1 second left on the clock propels them to the W. Out-yarded by 200 yards. TCU fumbled at the Kansas 7 and was stopped on the Kansas 1.. 2 TOs help the home dog cause also. That is a lot of mojo working in your favor. Two weeks in a row? Doubt it - 45-0 last year. Iowa State had put up at least 40 in 2 of their last 3. 5* Best Bet IOWA STATE |
|||||||
11-01-18 | Pelicans v. Blazers -3.5 | Top | 119-132 | Win | 100 | 14 h 47 m | Show |
Taking the BLAZERS. Nice spot for Portland. Well, coming back from a road trip isn't ideal, but what makes this so appealing is New Orleans off Golden State. Every team, especially a team that is trying to show it will be a playoff team, will bring the proverbial 'A' game against the Warriors. There will always be a let down when a good team plays GS, then is on the court the very next day. Then we add in that the Trailblazers are also a team that plays with the old disrespected chip on it's' shoulder. Siding with the home faves here. 4* Money Maker PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS |
|||||||
10-28-18 | Saints -1 v. Vikings | Top | 30-20 | Win | 100 | 46 h 47 m | Show |
Taking the SAINTS. Yes. Tough taking a team in back to back to roadies. Especially they won they battled back. How much do they have in the tank? Well. I don't ever sell Brees short. Guy is a beast. No way in hell do these forget that miracle playoff win for Minny last year. (I had Minny!) But this Vikings team as well as they have played of late, to me, a paper tiger. 3 INTs of rookie Darnold. 1 INT from rookie Rosen. And I love this HC. You know this. Had them both of those weeks. But the injury bug has me concerned here. Brees is going to put points up even on good defenses. And he has a RB combo that alleviates a lot of pressure. Minny missing Joseph is tough. Barr adds to it. Rhodes is whipped cream on top. Normally, missing a guy won't really have anything to do with my thought process (unless it is a QB). But the collective of those 3 hurt the defense. And New Orleans, coming in with bad memories, is not a team you want to come in under manned against. Tough road coming from Baltimore and with Rams on deck. But I am siding with the road team to win this thing. 5* Best Bet NO SAINTS |

10-28-18 | Redskins +1 v. Giants | Top | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 98 h 24 m | Show |
Taking the REDSKINS. The sell off is on for the Giants. Now, I did have them ML on Monday night. Put a fork in them. ODB is going to have a tantrum. Eli will be hitting the bench. Sitting at 1-6, the life has been sucked out of the season. Send in the clowns. Washington off a win because Jason Garrett still doesn't know how to coach. Skins have to smell blood in the water against their hated rivals. I can't see New York 'circling the wagons' to save the season. Not happening. All in on the Redskins Sunday afternoon. 10* Money Bomb WASHINGTON REDSKINS |

10-28-18 | Seahawks v. Lions -3 | Top | 28-14 | Loss | -100 | 39 h 36 m | Show |
Taking the LIONS. Cashed these guys last week as our Top 10* Money-Bomb - Will roll with them as a Best Bet today. Detroit has been in the money the last 5 weeks. We have been all over with this team. Faded them vs Jets, NE, Dallas. Backed them vs GB and Miami. And here we are again. This is quietly a decent team. Seattle gets a lot of love. Yes, they are off their bye week. Last we saw them beating up the Raiders in England. I am not sold. Russell Wilson is great. I give that guy a lot of crap, but man, he is an excellent player. By himself, makes this team competitive. What I have liked as the season has progressed from Detroit is the run game. And the fact they are finally using it to help Stafford. Lions have to be confident that they can make a move in the division. I know there are many on Seattle. Matt Patricia stole a Super Bowl from Carroll with that INT. Cowboys lucked into a win over these guys or Detroit would have 4 straight wins. Buying on the small home fave. 5* Best Bet DETROIT LIONS |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Texas A&M +2 v. Mississippi State | Top | 13-28 | Loss | -110 | 56 h 4 m | Show |
Taking TEXAS A&M tonight. Now. Normally- I am taking the home 'unranked' team over the 'ranked' team. That's in CBB or CFB. But we have to look a bit deeper into this besides the 'rankings'. First - State came into College Station last year and spanked the Aggies 35-14 last year and have won the last 2 meetings. So a little double revenge in place. A&M of a tough win at South Carolina. But to counter that, we have Bulldogs coming in off 19-3 loss at LSU. (I had MSU) - Now. Somehow, State put up 23 points vs Auburn. Which, I guess shows how terrible the Tigers are. If we look at the 3 losses in their last 4 games, we see 3 points at LSU. 6 points at home vs Florida. 7 at Kentucky. This offense is putrid. And honestly, it kinda scares me a bit to see them favored here. That being said. I am grabbing the low hanging fruit with the road dog. Aggies do have a decent defense and can, and have scored - both at home, and on the road. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS A&M |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Kentucky v. Missouri -7 | Top | 15-14 | Loss | -106 | 26 h 28 m | Show |
Taking MISSOURI. So. I always say things like 'ranked' team getting points catches my eye. Well. When the ranked team is a 7pt road dog to an unranked team - Let's just say my ears perk up. Sign me up all day on MizzU today. UK has won 3 straight in the series to boot and are getting points like this! I think the Tigers run away with this one. 10* Money Bomb MISSOURI TIGERS |

10-27-18 | Iowa +6 v. Penn State | Top | 24-30 | Push | 0 | 26 h 4 m | Show |
Taking IOWA today. Penn State slide continues. Lost to Ohio State who they had dead to rights. Off that brutal loss, lose to Michigan State - Then, as 14pt road faves, let Indiana hang around with a chance to steal a win late. Now vs this team. A streaking Hawkeyes bunch. A bad loss to Wiscy the only blemish on the record. They are just playing good football. And catching points like this. Sign me up. Oh, PSU also has big, bad Michigan on deck. They know they are out of the Playoffs. If Iowa gets up early, this could get ugly. 8* Sure Shot IOWA HAWKEYES |
|||||||
10-27-18 | Purdue +2 v. Michigan State | Top | 13-23 | Loss | -108 | 132 h 6 m | Show |
Taking PURDUE. I know we have them off huge win over Ohio State. But Boilermakers looking good last few weeks. 49 on Ohio State, 46 at Illinois, 42 at Nebraska - 4 straight wins. Sparty comes in off loss to Michigan (we cashed a 8* on big brother). That was a tough, physical game. And lets keep things real here. Michigan State was off a big win at Penn State. That wasn't an easy task. Battling the Wolverines is a rough assignment. Just think with Purdue peaking, and Sparty in a terrible flat spot, dog outright in my eyes. 5* Best Bet PURDUE |
|||||||
10-26-18 | Louisiana Tech +3.5 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 21-13 | Win | 100 | 28 h 23 m | Show |
Taking LA TECH tonight. Almost went ML here. But didn't want to end up like MNF where the Giants cover but don't win outright. So in this revenger (48-23), we will grab the points. FAU not looking like last years version. 1-6 ATS run for Lane's crew. La Tech comes in ready having this game circled. Holtz with a solid 32-14 ATS number when his team are dogs and 14-5 his last last 19 in that spot. LT brings a the better defense to the field today. How about FAU giving up a full TD more than they score on the year. Barking Dog. 8* Sure Shot LOUISIANA TECH |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Cowboys +100 v. Redskins | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -100 | 43 h 58 m | Show |
Taking the COWBOYS. Had Dallas last week in nice upset win, and will grab them again. They have had a good run vs the Redskins. But this is a bit of a different, on both sidelines. Also cashed with Washington last week. That was easy money after they were destroyed by the Saints (we had NO) on Monday night. Nobody ever as bad, or good, as they look the week before. And saying that, I really like what I saw from Dak. You all know I hate this Dallas HC. Guy wasted Romo for years. He was going to do the same with Dak. For whatever reason, the offense is coming along. It improved in the Lions game before the HC got scared and played not lose. Then he played not to lose again and lost against Houston. Elliot is a beast. The OL is still pretty good. The run game should dictate the outcome here. Dallas D does get pressure on the QB - 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Saints +3 v. Ravens | Top | 24-23 | Win | 100 | 42 h 20 m | Show |
Taking the SAINTS. Almost went +135 on the ML here. NO comes in off their bye week. Ravens home after 3 tough road games. Now normally, I am fading the Saints outside, especially in the cold weather cities. But we aren't in the bad weather or the extreme cold yet. And in case you haven't noticed, the Saints have a pair of RBs so their HOF QB does not need to throw for 450 yards a game. Ravens defense, stingy, to say the least. But this is a tough assignment to come home to. 7-1-1 ATS off their bye week are the New Orleans Saints. Mariota, Mayfield, Keenum, Allen/Peterman. Not exactly elite QBs of the league. Cincy on the short week doesn't really rate into my thinking. Saints clicking right now and have to grab the points. 5* Best Bet NEW ORLEANS SAINTS |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Patriots -2.5 v. Bears | Top | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 40 h 55 m | Show |
Taking the PATRIOTS. So NE has lost at the Jags (revenge spot their Super Bowl) and at Detroit (vs old DC in a desperate spot). Oh. Patriots also didn't have much at the WR position. Yes, they are off a wild one against KC. But this Bears team is not in that offensive level. But the defense is elite. Or it was until facing the Brocketman in Miami. Bears blew a win at Green Bay. Eked by the Cardinals. Walloped Tampa, and beat a Seattle team that I really don't what to think of. I know that the Patriots take zero games off. NE was up 24-9 before over KC. I see a trendy Bears 8-1-1 ATS home dog run. But some of those lines were easily double this number. Are the Patriots not winning on the road this year? NE 14-5 ATS last 19 on the road. I know that the trendy, and 'wise guy' move will be to play on the Bears. But like the spot we took NE at home over the Dolphins, if the dynasty is truly over, then I will go down with it in this game. 5* Best Bet NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS |
|||||||
10-21-18 | Lions -3 v. Dolphins | Top | 32-21 | Win | 100 | 39 h 22 m | Show |
Taking the LIONS. So Detroit HC was a DC for Pats in the AFC East and may have a bit of insight to Miami. Brock behind center again. And listen. Somehow, we cashed Miami last week as a home dog with him starting. And I will gladly take that. But we have Detroit, off their bye week in town. So after they edged out GB at home on some missed FGs, they got to relax and in the process the 'let-down game' to follow is pushed aside. Instead, they get film on a guy, a QB, who got a 72 MILLION Dollar contract from the Texans. Who benched him that same year for, Tom Savage! Then was traded to the Browns, who released him!! 5 teams (Denver twice) in 5 years. That alone has me fading the Dolphins. I think Miami has a decent defense. But the Lions will do enough to get us out of here with the cover this afternoon. 10* Money Bomb DETROIT LIONS |

10-20-18 | Miami-OH v. Army -7.5 | Top | 30-31 | Loss | -110 | 61 h 39 m | Show |
Taking ARMY. Also like the OVER in this game. I know this line has moved down from 11. But I am still on the Black Knights. For all intention purposes, Army with a bye week last week as they won 52-3 over San Jose. This team just improves every week. Miami O playing for the 8th straight week. Redhawks haven't faced the option in years. You think a few days will have the ready for this. All you need to know about Army is this. - They took Oklahoma to the wire only to lose in OT. That is impressive enough. I mean, covering and losing by 20-29, ok, Sooners just overlooking them. But play to OT. Then, to top it off. Coming to Buffalo, a good Bulls team, off said heart breaker. Falling behind 7-0 a minute 10 into the game. And I had Buffalo!! - Falling behind 7-0 a minute into the game and winning 42-13! Army to the races. 45-17. 5* Best Bet ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS |

10-20-18 | Michigan -7 v. Michigan State | Top | 21-7 | Win | 100 | 61 h 32 m | Show |
Taking MICHIGAN here. We have Wolverines favored here - But lo and behold, the Spartans, 10-0 ATS and 8-2 SU in this series last 10 game. MSU 17-5 ATS last 22 as dogs overall. Last year, as 13 faves at home, Wolverines fall 14-10 as O'INT, oops O'Korn tosses 3 INTs and Michigan gets nothing going on offense. Not so much of a problem this season. We have Michigan in off of crushing a decent Wiscy team. Michigan State in off a road upset of a good Penn State team. What is the difference for me is the Sparty offense, or lack of - 13 points vs Arizona State, 19 vs Northwestern - Heck, only 21 vs Penn State. Michigan has a pretty good defense themselves. Harbaugh finally getting some wins vs better Big 10 teams. 8* Sure Shot MICHIGAN |
|||||||
10-20-18 | Oklahoma -7.5 v. TCU | Top | 52-27 | Win | 100 | 60 h 24 m | Show |
Taking SOONERS here. Yes, TCU with double revenge as Oklahoma picked them off twice last year. But Oklahoma in off their bye. Done licking wounds from last second FG by Texas to lose Red River Rivalry. They fire their DC so things can only get better on that side of the ball. Murray is a beast at the QB position. TCU is just having a bad year. I get the defense is still solid. The offense is down right anemic. 16-17-14 points scored their last 3 games. Sooners should win this one by double digits going away. 8* Sure Shot OKLAHOMA SOONERS |
|||||||
10-20-18 | Tulsa v. Arkansas -7 | Top | 0-23 | Win | 100 | 46 h 4 m | Show |
Taking ARKANSAS. Ok. At first glance, this line does look a bit short. SEC only minus a TD vs AAC Tulsa squad. But the Hogs themselves just 1-6 with new HC Chad Morris enduring a tough run. Can't discount Tulsa coming in off a brutal loss against South Florida last week. Up 14 in the 4th, allow 15pt on USF final 3 drives for the loss. Ouch. Back to SEC vs AAC. I know Tulsa will want to play up to the big conference. But I can't see it happening. It isn't like we are laying double digits here. QB situation for visitors is rough. Skipper out after tossing 6 INTs to just 4 TDs and 716 yards. Enter Boomer who has been better? just 1 INT but 19 of 52 for 37% Completions. Yikes. Arkansas was competitive in 24-17 loss at Texas A&M. The put up 31 against Alabama for a cover 65-31 (+35). They did choke away a 27-10 lead over Ole Miss last game. But this is probably their last chance at a win. Chad Morris won't have his team overlooking a smaller school especially when his own school has just 1 win. Vandy, LSU at home up next, then 2 road games at Miss State and Missouri to end things. I look for a big win for the Razorbacks today. 10* Money Bomb ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS |
|||||||
10-14-18 | Chiefs v. Patriots -3 | Top | 40-43 | Push | 0 | 78 h 41 m | Show |
Taking the PATRIOTS. Not going to jump on the trending dog in this spot. Going with the veteran HOFer to win this one by 10. I'm not saying KC isn't a decent team or Mahomes isn't good. But beating the Chargers who find new ways to lose every week, a struggling Steelers team, the Niners, pulling out a late win at Denver and getting 5 TOs from the Jags isn't putting them to the top of my charts. Especially with the worse defense in the league giving up over 460 yards a game. Patriots with extra rest last covering for us on Thursday night vs Colts. Also with revenge from opening day loss last year. 8* Sure Shot NE PATRIOTS |

10-14-18 | Bears v. Dolphins +4 | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 63 h 16 m | Show |
Taking the DOLPHINS. So, wasn't that long ago we faded the Bears on the road against Arizona. Will do the same today. Can't trust Mitch as a favorite on the road. This Miami team has been pretty good as we try to forget blowing a 17-0 lead on the road last week. Yes, Bears off their bye week. But I think that hurts them as they looked unstoppable in that 48-10 destruction of Tampa. People love what they see. They see Miami blowing leads and the Bears scoring 40+. Have to grab the home dogs. 5* Best Bet MIAMI DOLPHINS |

10-14-18 | Chargers v. Browns +100 | Top | 38-14 | Loss | -100 | 63 h 2 m | Show |
Taking the BROWNS. Tough, I know. You look up for a Top Play and it is on a team with 1 win the last 2 years. But we get the Chargers playing on the East Coast clock. They have a game in London up next. Where is the enthusiasm. We had the Chargers last week and they did not disappoint. And I do hate backing this HC. But there is zero quit in the players. Are these guys the cardiac kids or what? Tie vs Pitt. Last second loss to the Saints. Late TD for the win over the Jets. Wild shootout in OT vs Raiders. A OT win with 2 seconds on the clock last week. They sure don't make it easy for the fans. 10* Money Bomb CLEVELAND BROWNS |

10-13-18 | Dodgers -125 v. Brewers | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 48 m | Show |
Taking Ryu and the DODGERS today. Lost here last night. But I like Ryu a lot. Last night we saw 4 LA errors and the best part of Milwaukee, their bullpen, go for 7 innings. And their best guy, Hader, won't be pitching tonight. A pair of other relievers got hit a bit. Ryu has a 1.96 ERA in 4 career post season starts with a .91 WHIP - this season, 1.97 ERA in 15 starts 1.01 WHIP 89Ks in 82 innings. A clear edge on the hill for us today over Miley. Brewers will gladly take 1-1 back to LA. Give me the Dodgers all day. 10* Money Bomb LA DODGERS |

10-13-18 | Washington v. Oregon +145 | Top | 27-30 | Win | 145 | 72 h 45 m | Show |
Taking OREGON. Now. The Ducks crushed our soul with they way they lost at home to Stanford. I mean. Really. How did they end up losing that up 10 with 4 minutes left in the game! So. The did bounce back from the epic loss with a win at Cal. Then they had a nice little break to gear up for Washington who rolled them 38-3 last year. You already know I like this kid Herbert at QB. I think he is the top QB in the upcoming draft. Not that I put stock on 'rankings.' But this Huskies team is just 7-11 vs 'ranked' teams. That shows me they aren't as talented against similar competition as when they beat up as mid pack teams. Give me the home dogs for the outright win this afternoon. 8* Sure Shot OREGON DUCKS |

Taking INDIANA here. Ok. first thing. College hasn't been as great as our NFL. Depending on the site, we are either 36-35 or 34-36-1. Again. Sites and lines are different where one game I could get at a better ML price and a site I might take +2. Doesn't matter. Being .500 isn't putting money on our pockets- 2nd week of October, we have plenty of time to get on track - it start here with this High Noon BEST BET - Home dog, sign me up. This is a tough little team. Off an Ohio State loss. On the road at Penn State next. Iowa is a big team for them yes. But I think they believe this is a game they can win. Like I said PSU next. Michigan down the road. Those are games they won't win. Maryland, Minnesota, Purdue are not gimmies. This team wants to go bowling. 2nd year HC Allen has a talented QB/RB combo. Back to back conference road games are tough no matter what program you are. Facing a hungry underdog doesn't help. Might have to sprinkle some ML +170/175 on these guys. 5* Best Bet INDIANA HOOSIERS |

Taking the DODGERS. This really approaches the high point of where I will lay a number and not go Run Line. But for just a +120 take back today, I will just go ML on the websites. Look. I like the Brewers team. We had them taking care of the Rockies. And I thought they would win the NL Central. So this is not a surprise. Their pitching, especially the bullpen, has been rock solid. We can talk about how Kershaw has 'bad' post-season numbers. And in the past I have highlighted his poor innings of work. In this spot, I think he can avoid that vs Milwaukee. We will see a steady stream of arms after Chacin from the Brewers. But I don't know if it will be enough to slow down this Dodgers lineup. I put in a small 100 to win 600 bet on LAD to win the World Series back on 10/2 on my Fan Dual app. Thank you NJ sports betting! - I will look for a good value spot on the Brewers when they travel to LA. 5* Best Bet LA DODGERS |

Taking the GIANTS tonight. Now. I know you are wondering why we aren't just getting some +130 ML with the G-Men. Well, you should already know that I hate both of these teams. But I don't let my heart or feelings really get in the way of backing teams that make me ill. Plus, these are the Giants. I crashed and burned with them in home dog spot vs the Saints where they failed to show up. Then they rip my heart out last week as they put up a fight vs Carolina. What I am 100% certain of is fading the Eagles. I said this last year after Wentz went down. How could they say he would be ready by the start of the season. It's now mid-October and he still looks out of sync. Their WR situation doesn't help. Nor does the depleted RB field. Home dogs I believe are along the lines of 16-7 so far this NFL season. We have cashed with them plenty of times. Eagles now 1-6-1 ATS last 8 as faves. NYG 6-3 ATS last 9 as division home puppies. Both teams in the proverbial 'must win' spot. But only 1 is the home dog in this bitter rivalry. 5* Best Bet NY GIANTS |

Taking DALLAS. A battle for Texas. With arguably the 2 worse coaches in NFL. Though fans of the Browns, Chargers, Broncos and Cardinals might chip in their two cents. Garrett plays scared and what should have been a Cowboys cover for us turns into a loser. But for the Texans, well O'Brian really takes the cake. I will be on the Under 45 here also. Since I think we see a steady diet of Elliot from Dallas. When he isn't pounding the ball, I think we see him catch about 10 passes out to he backfield. Cowboys have a decent defense. Better than the Texans clinging to their history. After their OT win snapped a 9 game slide, Houston now a 2-12 run their last 14. 2-12! (4-10 ATS) I know Watson is suppose to be the savior for the Texans. They need OT at Indy to get to 1-3 this year. Can't trust them as a fave. We are catching a hook which helps the cause. 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS |

Taking the LIONS. Easy to look at this and say, oh man, Rodgers and the Pack just have to win! Easy money. Look. Not that I think the Lions are some great team. They burned me last week as I had the Cowboys. But the Dallas defense is better than this GB bunch. And let's call it the way it is. If the Bears didn't choke away opening night, Packers can be sitting with 1 win right now. They didn't look good in Washington. Think Stafford takes advantage of his WR edge on the secondary this afternoon. 10* Money Bomb DETROIT LIONS |

10-07-18 | Giants v. Panthers -6 | Top | 31-33 | Loss | -108 | 62 h 39 m | Show |
Taking the PANTHERS. Had the Giants last week and they laid an egg at home. Now they face Carolina off their bye week. Give me the rested team. Not happy with the line, but will still back Cam and friends. This NYG team has had trouble now for the last couple years scoring. Panthers always bring defense to the party. Should be a 10pt win for the home team today. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS |

10-07-18 | Falcons v. Steelers -3 | Top | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 4 h 36 m | Show |
Late add here at about 930 Sunday morning. Taking the STEELERS. Yeah, we are going 10*. I was tossing and turning on this all week. Simple cause both teams 'need' a win was one of the reasons I chose to try and avoid it. But as I get ready for my sons football game today, I think of his teams advantages. And I just can't not think of how Big Ben has the WRs to destroy this leaky Falcons secondary. We saw it last week in their home loss. We saw it the week before in their home OT loss. Now a dome team is outside vs an always physical bunch coming off being humiliated at home on SNF. 10* Money Bomb PITTSBURGH STEELERS |

10-06-18 | San Diego State v. Boise State -14 | Top | 19-13 | Loss | -106 | 27 h 37 m | Show |
Taking BOISE. Just think this an big mismatch for San Diego State. They are banged up coming to the Smurf Turf. I get they are off a bye week. But when you are down your starting QB, RB and FB, you are walking into a tough atmosphere. This is a good Boise team this year. I know they have terrible ATS numbers as home favorites. Looking back a few years, I see several home non covers in between 4 game road trips, and some early games vs non-con foes. This number just seems high as if they are begging you to grab Rocky Long's bunch. Something tells me Rypian tosses 5 TDs and he climbs the conference all-time passing leader board. 10* Money Bomb BOISE STATE |

10-06-18 | Syracuse -3 v. Pittsburgh | Top | 37-44 | Loss | -115 | 37 h 30 m | Show |
Taking SYRACUSE today. Yeah. Could be a bit of let-down spot for Syracuse who had Clemson on the ropes. They just couldn't close the deal. But a good coach will have these guys ready to take out that frustration on the next opponent. Orange can't take teams for granted. 5* Best Bet SYRACUSE |

10-06-18 | Kansas v. West Virginia -27.5 | Top | 22-38 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 17 m | Show |
Taking WEST VA - I am not really a fan of laying huge points like this. But I think this is a statement game for West Va. Grier, if he wants to get more into this Heisman talk, need 6 TDs today. I don't doubt we put up a 50 spot here. Kansas hard pressed to put up 21. I'm looking for a 52-17 type of game today. 5* Best Bet WEST VIRGINIA |

10-05-18 | Rockies v. Brewers OVER 8 | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 20 m | Show |
Going OVER the total. Call it a gut call. A hunch. Whatever you want. This to me has all the look of a 10 run game. I backed the Rockies vs LA and Cubs as dogs. We had Brewers yesterday. But the way the Rockies did not quit. Coming back top 9. Well, that showed me this guys aren't to be taken likely. I don't like their pen, and think it can be hit hard. We have Chacin for the first time ever on short rest. Now, its playoff baseball. That shouldn't be a problem for a pro. But I'm not shocked to see 4-4 by the 5th today. Hit Parade in Milwaukee. 10* Total Money OVER Rockies / Brewers |

Taking the RAVENS. Not sold one bit on the Steelers. Baltimore cashed for us nicely last week, (had Bucks on MNF). Ravens 5-1-1 last 7 ATS in the series. Pitt won both last year. Probably see some points tonight, but in the end, we get that outright win. 5* Best Bet BALTIMORE RAVENS |

09-30-18 | Saints v. Giants +3.5 | Top | 33-18 | Loss | -115 | 55 h 53 m | Show |
Taking the GIANTS. You have to know by now how much I hate NY. But I am not blinded by my heart. They have some major problems. For me here, all about the spot for the Saints. Off a huge OT win at Atlanta. Division rival. Now back to back roadies. Home dog who finally got a win last week as a dog. Saints defense is far from decent and even farther from good. This NY team still has some weapons. Barring a huge shift in weather, (not calling for winds), this game should be wild one. We have cashed fading the Saints in Week 1, and playing them in Week 3. What is clear in all 3 games. They could easily be 3-0 or 0-3. Don't think they should be favored, especially outside on the road. 8* Sure Shot NEW YORK GIANTS |

09-30-18 | Lions v. Cowboys -3 | Top | 24-26 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 42 m | Show |
Taking the COWBOYS. Look. This is a difficult call I get it. We look at Dallas, the offense has been terrible, Dak,terrible for a years worth of games. Why will that change now? Well. For me, I really like this spot today. We have the Lions coming in off their Super Bowl. Let's face it. They get humiliated on MNF Opening night. They show up with about a quarter to play in SF to make the score respectable. Then, the game their new HC is probably most worried about. Not the Bears. Or Packers. Or Minny.. No. New England. His former boss. A team that is the Apex predator of all teams. The most hated QB and HC and franchise in all of football. And he only just left a few month ago with all he knew about all his players. Wish I really thought about that more last week cause I would have unloaded ML on the home dogs. So where to go but down? Dallas is the desperate team now. They will be the ones pulling tricks out there pockets. They need to do something, and they need it done yesterday. I am also on this under 44. Because of the Cowboys said woes on offense. But I think this defense is pretty good. They will give Stafford from problems. I see this shaping up to be a 23-13 type of game. 10* Money Bomb DALLAS COWBOYS |

09-29-18 | Toledo v. Fresno State -7.5 | Top | 27-49 | Win | 100 | 47 h 59 m | Show |
Taking FRESNO. Rested home team. I'm in. Toledo off a win over Nevada. But playing that game is much different than the Bulldogs on the road. Blocked punt and KO TDs help the cause. But Reno also has allowed 50pts in 8 of their last 12 games. Come on. Bulldogs should take care of business at home tonight. Fresno 9-2 ATS last 11 at home and 14-3 ATS last 17 overall. Not going to knock Toledo offense who has scored 60 twice this season. But this is a long way from Ohio vs a pretty solid defense. 4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE |

09-29-18 | Ohio State -115 v. Penn State | Top | 27-26 | Win | 100 | 44 h 55 m | Show |
Taking OHIO STATE. Look. Not a fan of either school. OSU has the W's lately in the series, 5 of 6 SU. Penn State 3-1 ATS last 4. But the numbers show me how much more dominate Buckeyes have been. The Bosa loss can't be overlooked. This defense isn't elite. But McSorley hasn't matched last years numbers either. Haskins is putting up huge numbers for the OSU offense right now. These lines are normally double digits. 7, 17, 17.5, 14, 15. Now it's a baby number. 73-8 overall , 47-3 in Big 10 play for Meyer here at OSU. Lost at home 17-14 to Mich State in 2015. 2016, on this field 24-21. Remember that game. 21-17 OSU, line up for FG, blocked, to the house 24-17 PSU. And of course, who can forget them getting demolished 55-24 by Iowa last year. I see something close to a 10pt win here. 10* Money Bomb OHIO STATE |

09-29-18 | Boise State -17 v. Wyoming | Top | 34-14 | Win | 100 | 69 h 33 m | Show |
Taking BOISE tonight. Will lay the big number. Had Boise in their no-show at Oklahoma State. Well this is the team they take out all that frustration on. Both teams off byes. So they each have had time to lick their wounds off losses. But this Boise team is much better. Hello. Laying 3 scores on the road. We are winning by 20. And could probably stretch this to a near 30pt in the area of 42-14 type of game. The defense for Boise should have no problems containing this Cowboys offensive unit. 5* Best Bet BOISE STATE |

09-29-18 | Army v. Buffalo -7.5 | Top | 42-13 | Loss | -103 | 61 h 5 m | Show |
Taking BUFFALO. So, at first look, yes. Fade the Bulls off beating Rutgers. Yeah, Rutgers is not a good team. But it is still a Big 10 team, that you mauled on the road. Looking at the numbers, and being an NJ guy, we see that Buffalo really took the foot off the gas in the 2nd half. They are ready for Army. They face Army enough not to be had by their offense and the defense can make a stop or two. And what about Army. Man, tough loss at Oklahoma. I always give the service academies a bump in my ratings just because of the career paths they have chosen. It is do the job, back to work. But that is a draining affair. Again OT at Oklahoma. Offense held the ball for 45 minutes. Not tired at all here? They converted 3rd and 4th downs. Buffalo pulls away last for a double digit win. 8* Sure Shot BUFFALO BULLS |

09-28-18 | UCLA v. Colorado -8.5 | Top | 16-38 | Win | 100 | 46 h 19 m | Show |
Taking COLORADO. Now normally, I would be looking at the the dog in this spot. But I cannot come anywhere near UCLA right now. The Westgate send out line for this was PK back in July. Well, when you lose your starting QB. A back up transfers. You have a young QB learning a new offense from an old NFL coach who ran a great College offense, and a father of a QB questions play calling. Safe to say you are having a tough go. Chip Kelly will have this team back on track soon enough. But it will take some time. Colorado cruising at 3-0. Will like to smack around the bigger PAC 12 name and has revenge for 27-23 loss last year. No lack of focus for Buffs. Bruins with 12 straight losses away from the Rose Bowl. The Colorado defense isn't any great shakes for sure. But the offense is running very well right now. Should easily get to the mid 30s and that should be enough for a double digit cover. 10* Money Bomb COLORADO BUFFALOES |

09-24-18 | Steelers v. Bucs +1.5 | Top | 30-27 | Loss | -105 | 150 h 41 m | Show |
Taking TAMPA here. I did a video way back in mid-July taking the Bucs in Week 1 over the Saints. Lo and behold not only did they roll the Saints, the come back vs the rested Super Bowl Champs and deliver another outright win as short dogs. Now they get the 0-2 desperate Steelers and again, an ever so slight home dog. I know Pitt needs this win. But this team is in turmoil right now. No Bell. Players calling out Bell. Bryant twitting about getting traded to prove he's good. That is a lot of off shield non-sense. Not to mention their on field play which hasn't been all that spectacular. Enter TB. I said I like FitzMagic behind center better than Crab Legs. Guy is a gritty vet. We saw him lead the Jets to some wins with his veteran presence and players around him. Same spot here. Jackson and Evans are good players with some time under their belts. Something to prove to nay-sayers. OJ Howard had 6 TDs last year. He's a good TE who I think should get to 10 TDs if Fitz is here the entire year. Just a whole different atmosphere in Tampa. Players saying if they are winning, Crabby shouldn't get the starter spot back. Give me the Bucs again. 5* Best Bet TAMPA BAY BUCS |

09-23-18 | Patriots -6 v. Lions | Top | 10-26 | Loss | -110 | 126 h 53 m | Show |
Taking the PATRIOTS tonight. Not wasting any time getting down on this game. Will probably see some 7s by game time. Hate taking a public team like this, especially in an ESPN spot like this. But I can't fade Brady and Hoodie off a loss. Especially when we see Brady yelling at teammates. Pats don't lose many game a year. Losing to a tough defensive team like the Jags on the road is one thing. Them losing to this Lions team. Not likely. Ex DC faces mentor. Give me BB all day long. This Lions defense hasn't looked good in its first 2 games. Matt STATSford seems to be good only in garbage time. This game to me has 37-20 written all over it. 5* Best Bet NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS |

09-23-18 | Broncos v. Ravens -5 | Top | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 51 h 15 m | Show |
Taking the RAVENS early. Catching Denver in their first road game of the year. 1-9 ATS and SU last 10 on the road. Coming cross country. Off a last second win over the Raiders. We have extra rest. Broncos in my eyes, paper tigers. I think the Ravens are the better team. Plain and simple. Coaching edge in our favor. Defense should be able to contain Keenum. Denver held off a bad Seattle team. They need a miracle comeback vs a Raiders team that in its first 2 games, seem to only show up for 1st halves. No such luck today. 10* Money Bomb BALTIMORE RAVENS |

09-22-18 | Stanford v. Oregon +115 | Top | 38-31 | Loss | -100 | 57 h 12 m | Show |
Taking OREGON. Will grab the ducks on the ML. I just think this is a different team when Herbert plays. This guy makes the offense go. 52ppg down to 15ppg - I know Stanford is good. They have a Heisman guy in RB Love. But I feel the Ducks want to show they are back after 4-8 and 7-6 seasons. This is a huge game for the program in a revenge role. 5* Best Bet OREGON |

09-22-18 | Louisiana Tech +21 v. LSU | Top | 21-38 | Win | 100 | 50 h 28 m | Show |
Taking LA TECH. So nice little spot to grab 3 TDs. LSU stole our soul last week as we backed Auburn. But off that huge upset, we get them in a bit of let-down spot. Nothing like a last second win and then a game vs a mid-major. Make no mistake though, this big brother/ little brother fight has huge implications for the dogs. How many of this kids grew up wanting to play for LSU? And they are at La Tech. Total disrespect card to be played along with huge dogs in an instate battle. Skip Holtz group should battle for their conference championship. I am still not sold on LSU even after that big road win. Down 21-10 last second FG to win on road. Ole Miss on deck. LSU should win, but I can't see them covering this number vs rested dog with a chip on their shoulder. 5* Best Bet |

09-22-18 | Rice +14 v. Southern Miss | Top | 22-40 | Loss | -106 | 32 h 20 m | Show |
Grabbing RICE and the points. Owls have covered 6 of the last 8. Off a bye (last played at Hawaii), while Southern Miss bye caused by Hurricane. Southern Miss is probably the better team based on Rice's 1-11 record last season. But sometimes you get a new coach and every thing changes. They have covered both games vs Houston and Hawaii putting points on the board. Against Houston, they put points up early. In Hawaii, it was late. That is where that long travel comes into play. But it also shows no quit. So we get an under-achieving Southern Miss team laying a pretty big number. Give me the hungrier team with something to prove. 5* Best Bet RICE OWLS |

09-22-18 | Louisville v. Virginia -4.5 | Top | 3-27 | Win | 100 | 26 h 56 m | Show |
Taking VIRGINIA as our Top Play. Like this team. Like the coach. Clearly 2 programs going in opposite directions. Petrino at the 'Ville misses Lamar Jackson behind center. I just can't see them really keeping pace with the Cavs. Bronco Mendenhall will have the team focused in revenge mode. Too much offense as Virginia jumps out fast (last week 35-7 3 minutes to go in 2nd Q) and never looks back. 10* Money Bomb VIRGINIA CAVALIERS |

09-20-18 | Jets v. Browns -3 | Top | 17-21 | Win | 100 | 26 h 24 m | Show |
Taking the BROWNS. Yeah - You can say it is tough backing a team as a FG fave when they haven't won a home game since Dec 2016! We can say Cleveland could, or should be 2-0 if they had a decent field goal kicker. We can say with certainty that the Browns do have a good defense. And that my friends, is why we are rolling with Cleveland. Tough spot for a rookie QB, on the road, and a short week for the icing on top. Was also thinking about the Under but will just attack the small home fave and build our bankroll. 5* Best Bet CLEVELAND BROWNS |

09-16-18 | Giants +3 v. Cowboys | Top | 13-20 | Loss | -107 | 81 h 1 m | Show |
Taking the GIANTS tonight. Last week we faded NY in our big GOW and cashed our 10* on the Jags. Well we are on the G-Men for Sunday night. One, I am a Cowboys fan. But I don't let teams I like blind me. Garrett has to go as HC. I have been saying this for the last few years. Anyone who has purchased plays gets a full run down on why he is a terrible coach. Like I said last week. I thought Coughlin would really fire up the players to avenge his firing. Tough spot for NYG against a very good defense. Dallas defense is ok, but nothing like the Jags. Eli has some players to help with ODB back and Barkley in the backfield. Can't count out the banged up Dallas OL. Giants never had problems generating pressure on Cowboy QBs. Dallas O in turmoil. Stacked Ds all year to shut down Zeke and force Dak to beat you with one of the worse WR groups in the league. Giants 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. 10* Money Bomb DALLAS COWBOYS |

09-16-18 | Dolphins +3 v. Jets | Top | 20-12 | Win | 100 | 73 h 11 m | Show |
Taking the DOLPHINS here. Have to say. Had the Under in their Game 1. After a few weather delays, we got a shoot out. We did cash the Jets as a nice dog outright. But I think we our getting some value in this spot. Jets looked great. But let's be honest here. Rookie QB now making his second start. Every team looks bad in this division because the Patriots sit a the top. But I think Miami will toss some new wrinkles at the rookie. The defense isn't a bad unit. Offense is decent enough. Again, I think we have extra value based on the Monday night factor. 5* Best Bet MIAMI DOLPHINS |

09-16-18 | Vikings -120 v. Packers | Top | 29-29 | Push | 0 | 72 h 53 m | Show |
Taking the VIKINGS. Rodgers plays, doesn't play. Wouldn't make much difference to me. Like I said last week in taking Minny. Best defense in football. Bears are pretty good. But GB gets another angry division foe. I think Minny is reppin' the NFC in the Super Bowl. I am not that high on Packers defense. Rodgers could be fired up. Vikes knocked him out of game last year on a 'cheap shot.' But we do know that Minny has no qualms about taking shots on the QB. And real fast to last week vs SF. A bit sloppy in the cover. But maybe they were just a tad more focused on this match-up instead. And as long as we are on last week. How about that comeback. Bears, whoever. down 20-0 3 minutes left in the 3rd? That is a lot of gas being used up in the tank. 5* Best Bet MINNESOTA VIKINGS |

09-16-18 | Chiefs v. Steelers -4.5 | Top | 42-37 | Loss | -122 | 25 h 34 m | Show |
Taking the STEELERS. Not going to over react to 5 TOs on the road and a tie at Cleveland. They could have, and probably should have won that game anyway. Now they are home. Big Ben totally different QB at Heinz field. Numbers back it up. Bell loss not the problem in their last game. KC will be in another shoot-out. Difference being, Pitt has a defense that can make stops. Back to back road games for KC. I think this is a 10pt win for the home team. 8* Sure Shot PITTSBURGH STEELERS |

Taking NORTH TEXAS. Like this little squad. Arkansas blew a 27-9 lead last week. Will have their hands full with a Fine QB for NT. Mean Green should be able to put up some passing yards with the best QB in conference. Enough points for us to easily back NT. 8* Sure Shot NORTH TEXAS |

Taking AUBURN today. Look. I had LSU on the ML over the Hurricanes. But I am laying it and expecting a 15-20 point win Saturday afternoon. Right off the bat - Huge revenge spot for us blowing 20-0 lead last year. Home team on a 16-2 SU and 13-4-1 ATS run. LSU still has some QB issues. Do we really think they are coming in here and winning? Because, if I am taking a dog, I think it wins outright. I don't think the back door will be in play here. Guess people forget that Auburn smacked both Georgia and Alabama when they were ranked #1 on this field. This is a good Tigers team. 10* Money Bomb AUBURN TIGERS |

09-15-18 | Ohio +3.5 v. Virginia | Top | 31-45 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 21 m | Show |
Taking OHIO here. Nearly made this a ML play. I have Ohio as the best in MAC East. I know Virginia isn't a sexy big school, but for the MAC, it's a big game. Off their bye week, I expect them to be more than ready to hang with this ACC team. Now. We did cash backing Virginia last week. But in this spot, game being played in Vandy's Stadium with Hurricane in town. I can't think they are fully focused here. As much as they need this win, I think Ohio is the hungrier team with less on their plate right now. Bobcats can stop this run game and force Perkins to beat them with his arm which he hasn't shown much consistency in doing. Solich is a solid mid-major coach and has pulled some upsets out of his hat before. 5* Best Bet OHIO BOBCATS |

Taking CAROLINA. Will grab the Panthers at this price. I like Dallas. Am a Cowboys fan. And they have much better ATS on the road than at home. But this team to me, isn't going to be that good. Unless a couple WRs really have huge years, this is a lost season. Load up the line, control Zeke, let Dak have one of his WRs beat you. That plays well into a good Panthers defense. Not a huge fan of Cam. But the guy has the weapons around him to get us the win and cover this afternoon. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS |

09-09-18 | Redskins v. Cardinals -119 | Top | 24-6 | Loss | -119 | 53 h 15 m | Show |
Taking ARIZONA. Pretty sure everyone is sleeping on the Cards because of the QB play. But this team is not that bad. Always a solid defense. They have a very good RB to take the pressure off said QB play. I actually like the new HC. You know the defense will just as good or better than past editions. Not expecting what I saw in Pre-Season from ARZ. That is more to me. A new HC, guys playing hard all game. And other teams going through the motions. Will really have to work to get those kind of TOs from Washington. Redskins have their own new signal caller in Alex Smith. And he's a guy I have back with mixed results over his career. And also a guy who isn't in the habit of bad INTs. At this price, even against AP at RB, who might run angry since Cards cut him last year. Think we have enough to get the outright win this afternoon. 8* Sure Shot ARIZONA CARDINALS |

09-09-18 | Jaguars -3 v. Giants | Top | 20-15 | Win | 100 | 85 h 24 m | Show |
Taking the JAGUARS. Also like the Under in this game. But we are all in on Jax. First off. You don't think that Tom Coughlin has been telling these guys to stick to NYG on every play. The guy was run out of town and replaced by a joke of a coach. Jags were already miles ahead of the GMen in talent. Yes, they drafted a nice RB, signed some OL, have a healthy ODB. But do we really think Eli, a statue, is going to be able to buy some time and make something happen against this pass rush and secondary. Jags defense will dominate. The offense will do enough to win this by double digits. Coughlin gets revenge against a team he hoisted Super Bowl Trophies with and got a kick in the ass out the door as a thank you, while the crappy GM stayed on board. 10* Money Bomb JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS |

Taking the BENGALS. Yeah, The Colts are 46-30 with Luck behind center. But did you see anything in his brief August games that say this is a guy ready to come under live fire? Bengals have missed the playoffs last 2 years. Marv clearly on the hot seat as many though he would be canned last year. We saw 53 points from these guys in Week 4 of pre-season! That is normally under territory. But we saw that the 'starters' for Cincy held a 20-7 lead at the half over the Colts. Look - Pre-Season doesn't matter much to me when the calendar says September. But Indy, I think has a long way to go with Luck getting up to speed with his new HC and the playbook. Cincy always has a tough defense. Daulton has some nice weapons. He can beat bad teams. This isn't Pitt or NE that he is battling. 5* Best Bet CINCINNATI BENGALS |

Taking VIRGINIA TECH. I think FSU is a very good program. But I think they start a little slow tonight. Might take a game or 2 to get things flowing in real time under new HC Willie Taggart. This guy could have a QB problem depending on how things go. VT had all summer to get ready for the Noles.

09-02-18 | Miami-FL v. LSU +155 | Top | 17-33 | Win | 155 | 125 h 22 m | Show |
Taking LSU and going ML. You can grab the points - But for me, if I am taking small points like this, I have to believe in my numbers and that at this price, we can get an outright win. I know Miami is a trendy pick this year. Everyone high on them. I like them, am a fan. But money is money. And LSU is not some joke program. They get kids who can play. And in Game 1, right out of the gate with the nation watching, these guys will want to make a statement. No 'turnover chain' nonsense. I believe that Ed Orgeron is on the hot seat of LSU. 9-4 seasons won't cut it. Talent is there every year and he needs to deliver soon. 5* Best Bet LSU TIGERS |

09-01-18 | Florida Atlantic +21 v. Oklahoma | Top | 14-63 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 17 m | Show |
Taking FLORIDA ATLANTIC. Have to grab the big points with Lane's squad. CUSA Champs this year. Have to be thought of as the top program with Marshall on their heels. This is a huge game for them. As a small, mid-major conference team, they have to show they can play with the big boys. Sooners breaking in a new QB and always a bit shaky on defense. I like that last year on the road, they lost to Wiscy 33-14. That is a tough venue and tough team to play. Shows me they won't be intimidated. Defense has 10 starters back which is huge to me getting this many points. Can't discount the fact that FAU new starting QB is a Sooners transfer. As if he needs more motivation for his first of the year. 8* Sure Shot FLORIDA ATLANTIC |

08-26-18 | Cardinals +105 v. Cowboys | Top | 27-3 | Win | 105 | 69 h 26 m | Show |
Taking the CARDINALS. Fading the Cowboys. Can't stand the HC. This guy is a miserable human who has cost bettors thousands of dollars over the years. Time for us to collect a little payback. Cowboys are set heading to the regular season. Arizona has a new coaching staff. They drafted their future QB, Josh Rosen. Sam Bradford is getting paid 15 Million right now. So, maybe he doesn't care much since he is getting him money. But the guy probably wants to prove he can stay on the field. I see him as their Opening Day starter. If they collapse, then I see the big rookie coming in, week 4, after a bye - along those lines. That being said, sorta liking the under a bit here also. But in any case, we are going - 5* Best Bet ARIZONA CARDINALS |

Taking MIAMI here on Saturday as my Top MONEY BOMB 10* play. So.. we did lose with the Colts on Monday night. Had them ML and it cost us. But now we will fade the Ravens heavy in another road game. This is their 4th pre-season game. Time to rest up the troops. They had their 'game' last week. I look for Miami to leave the starting units in a bit at home. Maybe we get lucky with a nasty, Miami hot and humid day that will really make the Ravens mail it in for us. 10* Money Bomb MIAMI DOLPHINS |

Taking the BILLS here. Ready to move on these guys pretty big. We have Sean McDermott, new HC in Buffalo, old DC for Carolina. So we know that the Panthers already would be vanilla. This brings them to flat out spoiled vanilla. I am down on Carolina for the regular season. But that being said, new coach, new QB in the wings for the Bills. They have AJ McCarron who is looking to make a name for himself after being back-up in Cincy. 10* Money-Bomb BUFFALO BILLS |

Taking MICHIGAN. We had Loy-Chi to start Round 1 in game winning fashion. But the time has gone for Cinderella to go home from the dance. Looking back on huge runs like this (VCU + George Mason), I can't compare them to Butler who had an NBA head coach and NBA players Mack + Hayward. I can see this playing out ala G-Mason style, who Florida beat 73-58. Hoping Wolverines hit some FTs down the stretch and not cost us like they did vs Florida State. Might be close for a half. I just think the size and talent eventually make this a comfortable double digit game. 4* Money Maker MICHIGAN |

03-23-18 | Syracuse v. Duke -11.5 | Top | 65-69 | Loss | -104 | 97 h 13 m | Show |
Taking DUKE tonight. First. Just because we are having a GOM doesn't me bet the house. We rate the plays. So adding a Game of the Week, Month, Year to it just means to play it for an extra unit or 2. We aren't like some cappers who when they lose a few games in a row and are down 400 Dimes or whatever, we don't say. only time this year we put out a 1000 Dime play. It wins. Capper fake math has him up 600 dimes, but he's 1-7 or some crap. So we are on the BLUE DEVILS. What a crap game by Sparty and Izzo. Not what I wanted or hoped for playing on them Sunday. If anytime is going to exploit this zone and short bench, it will be Duke. Already with a 60-44 win under the belts over the Orange. Hats off to them for winning 3 games in 5 days. But the PAC 12 was garbage. I thought TCU would knock them off, but we didn't have an official play. As for that Michigan State game. Holy cow. Offensive rebounds 26-4! 8-37 from 3. Take it to the rack already! They had a walk-on play 6 minutes last game. Zero depth. I said it last game with MSU, and I will say it here. This should be a 15-20 point game. Duke isn't going to shoot 26% from the floor. Sparty may have been too young to take advantage of Syracuse. Blue Devils won't make that mistake. Duke was upended last year by 7 seed South Carolina who went an improbable Final Four run. 2012 lost to Lehigh in First Round, next year Elite 8. 2014 lost to Mercer First Round, next year National Champs. So, off an early exit, I expect the Final Four run. They know this team. They know their zone defense. They will exploit the Orange weaknesses. 10* Money Bomb DUKE BLUE DEVILS |

03-17-18 | Seton Hall v. Kansas -4.5 | Top | 79-83 | Loss | -106 | 32 h 50 m | Show |
Taking KANSAS. Ok. Maybe this is a huge square play. I know that Kansas has had some bad let-downs before. But they have been to the Elite 8 the last 2 years. They were knocked off by Wichita, who, at 30-4 was pretty good under-seeded team in 2015. The loss in 2014 to Stanford is bad, I get it. -But It isn't like we are laying a huge number here. I get you wanting to back the Hall. This line looks a bit short to me, but that is also based on the name on the uniforms. Seton Hall beat UL on the road, over Texas Tech at MSG. People remember them playing Nova to a 69-68 OT loss a couple weeks ago. Lost by 12 at Xavier. They lost to Butler in the Big East tournament, but had beaten them in the final game of the regular season a few days before. They had a nice game vs NC State. But I see some chinks in the armor. As I said. A 12 point road loss to X, 16pt loss at Nova. Lost by 17 at Creighton. Lost by 20 at Marquette. The lost by 6 at Rutgers! You can say. Hey they won 4 of 5 heading into the BE Tourney. Well, we move the bar and we see a 4 game losing streak before 3 wins and you have 5-6 heading into NC State, 6-6 now. Kansas had won 5 straight before dropping their regular season finale. Then they win by 14, 16 and 11 in the Big 12 tournament. I don't think they take half the first half off here like the Penn game. But they did manage to win by 16. If we get a full game of Azubuike, I think we win by double digits going away. But I like him sitting out the B12 Tourney and only playing 3 minutes in Round 1. Shows the other guys they can win without a key player. The last 2 years in Round 2, Kansas beat 9 seed Michigan State 90-70 and 9 seed Uconn 73-61. 5* Best Bet KANSAS JAYHAWKS |

03-17-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Tennessee -5 | Top | 63-62 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
Taking the VOLS today. So, I have these guys in my Final Four. I think they are that good. I will say that we got lucky cashing our Loy-Chi in Round 1. Not sure they get every break in this spot. We also cashed Tennessee on Thursday. Steady effort all around. The rough grind of the Miami game might wear down the Ramblers. Look. I like these guys. But I think that Tenn is going to just be too much for them. I get it is tough not to like a team shooting 50% from the field. And we look back at the win over the Gators fondly. A bad seed for them, probably should have been an 8. But they lack the sexy name. Vols should control the defensive glass. I think people forget that Tenn beat the Boilermakers early. Lost a tough to Nova, up 12 at half. Maybe the OT win over Purdue the day before caught up with them (Nassau). They lost a tough one at home to NC. I think this is the best team the Ramblers have faced. But this is not the best team Tennessee has faced. It's going to be close. But I think we pull away for the 10pt win. 8* Sure Shot TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS |

Taking A&M. I think people forget how good this team was to start the year. Opened the year with that big win over West Va. I see their non-con littered with wins over March Tournament teams (NIT,CBI,CIT + NCAA) Oklahoma State - Penn State - Rio Grande Valley - Northern Kentucky - Buffalo. Bama, Auburn, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri. Not that I am a huge SEC fan. But I think as great as Providence was in the Big East tourney, knocking off Xavier, giving Villanova a good battle, I just think that A&M gets it done. 4* Money Maker TEXAS A&M |

Taking NORTHERN KENTUCKY. An absolute 'no-brainer' play for me. We have the little brother ready to face one of his older siblings. The Norse upset in the Horizon. But oh what a prize they get in the NIT. They get Louisville, who, according to The Courier Journal voted before the ACC Tournament not to play if they missed the NCAAs. Problem is nobody relayed the message to the bosses who signed off on the paperwork. When told they have to forfeit, they said they will play. Oh, we get the, we have to play hard for the city and locals and fans. But these guys are done. We won't get into the off the court things. We all know what they are. Getting a TD in a game I think we are winning outright. Are we all of a sudden getting a focused UL team that is coming out to win the NIT Championship? This reminds me of Robert Morris coming into Kentucky 2013 and winning outright. Opened the season ranked 3 that year. 5* Best Bet NORTHERN KENTUCKY |

Taking ARIZONA. Ok. So a lot going on here at the school. We won't get into the off-court stuff, but it appears they have circled the wagons. They had a brief hiccup in early February. But have no run off 4 straight Ws after going 11-0 in OT yesterday. USC just as hot winning 6 of their last 7. Probably played themselves into a spot or at least close to one in the NCAAs. But I think people forget how good this Arizona team is. Have to with them at this short price. 5* Best Bet ARIZONA |

Taking EASTERN MICHIGAN tonight. Last year in the MAC Quarters, Akron smashed these guys 79-62. Well. Time for a little tournament revenge. They played just once at EMU, and the Eagles laid a 63-49 loss on the Zips. Expecting more of the same here. EMU comes in red-hot winners of 6 straight and 8 of 9. The lone loss, in OT on the road. Akron on a 3-6 run before upsetting Western Michigan by a point. Zips dangerous. Of course you have to look at a team in the conference tournament championship game the year before as a threat. But it is also a team you don't overlook. 5* Best Bet EASTERN MICHIGAN |

Taking MISSOURI STATE. Now. I am down on this group. I was expecting them to be a top tier MVC team this season. Yet, here we are in the play-in round. Missouri State won both games this year. Crushing Valpo on the road by 17. A game they were nearly up 30. And at home by 7, having to nip and claw their way to the win. I think Alize Johnson is a beast that Valpo can't contain. 24-17 last game vs them. 15 and 11 averages on the season. We aren't laying any huge number here. I'm on the Bears. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI STATE |

Going to lock in early here with the PATRIOTS. 5* Best Bet NE PATRIOTS Alright everyone. Thanks for the follow this year. Going to cap off a great NFL season with a final winner for our pockets. 40-14 good for 74% since December 1. In that time, 11-4 with our Top Plays. Best Bets, Sure Shots and Money-Bombs. But I am not going to put out a huge 'name' play, just because it is the final game of the year. This, as always, the longest write up of the year. Let's get to it - As a big dog guy, especially with NHL and MLB, almost by instinct, I am pulled towards Philly. And why not. One of those 4 Top Game losses was Philly over NYG. I like Foles. As I said in previous write-ups, and last weeks Over analysis. Do people forget 27 TDs from this kid a couple years ago. The guy can play in the NFL. Not saying he is Wally Pip'ing Wentz out of a job, or Brady Bledsoe'ing for the younger crowd. But he can play. And let's be completely honest. Eagles probably rate better overall across the board except for the QB position. Plenty of offense for Philly vs, at best, a middle of the road Patriots defense. Yes. The Hoodie gets the, oh, Mr Adjustments. What a great defense. Come on. Bend don't break defense carried by the greatest QB/ HC combo of all-time. This total has already ticked up, and I still lean Over in this game. I am sure the sharps are going to be lying in wait. Seeing if the public comes heavy on NE as they normally do. Maybe we see 4.5 - Maybe we see 6.5. I am 2 weeks out with my play. When we grab dogs, like the Jags, we think they win outright. Which, maybe they should have. We will leave questionable play calling to the talking heads. Back to NE. Look. I am not a huge Pats fan. I did have a Top 10* on them to roll the Titans. I took the +9.5 out of the gate in the Championship Game. As much as I see Foles getting better. I see Brady cementing a legacy, if he hadn't already. If this was Wentz/ Brady. I would probably be on the Eagles. But it isn't. These guys, at this stage, look for any slight, to come out and piss people off. So we have all heard of that story about the owner/coach/QB - Next game. Utter destruction of the Titans. What better way to really get under peoples skin and win b2b Super Bowls. Did anyone miss that Hoodie didn't even hold onto the AFC Championship Trophy? Is that crazy? That is all you need to know about this team. That is how focused they are. Philly will get everyone's love since they are facing the Evil Empire. The, We wear Dog Masks. No respect. I get it. House money. Back-up QB. Rally around the role. Understood. And that isn't all it has going for them. I think they have the much better defense. Special teams are probably a wash. Again, this is why I am liking the Over a bit also. Plenty of weapons for Foles. Dome setting should help. As much as there are checks to cross in the Philly box. I just can't go against this HC/QB combo in a Super Bowl. Brady has proven time and time again. Champion. Down 10. No problem. 28-3. No problem. Do we have to go back and see the stats vs the Legion of Boom? Do we remember how 'legendary' that Seattle defense was suppose to be? 13-15 2TDs in the 4th quarter as Seattle was for 2 straight Super Bowls. Maybe the Eagles are like the Giants. Getting pressure. Knocking Brady off his spot. Or. Brady gets the ball out and carves them up. I think the really underrated unit is the Patriots OL. These guys are quietly, a solid bunch. So. I am going PATRIOTS as a 5* BEST BET here in Super Bowl action. I think they get this done by a TD or more. My FREE PLAY is on the UNDER 48.5 -- |

01-20-18 | George Washington v. VCU -8 | Top | 63-87 | Win | 100 | 3 h 36 m | Show |
Taking VCU. Now. Rams not at the top of the A10, but still a top tier team in conference. Can't say the same for GW who I have tagged for the bottom. I am looking for a big bounce-back game here from VCU. Off a pair of losses, their last one a 67-52 home loss to Richmond. 34% shooting will contribute to 50 point games. For a team that scores over 75ppg, that is a huge drop-off. GW scored 53-55 in last years two games. VCU is going to want to get out and push it. GW is one of the slowest tempo teams in the land. Nothing good will happen for them when they try to keep pace. 5* Best Bet VCU |

Taking the VIKINGS. Real simple for me. One. We are rested. Two. We have the much better defense. Three. We have seen the last 2 weeks that New Orleans has had trouble stopping Tampa and Carolina. A pair of teams that are pretty generic with their offenses. - Now they face a Minny team that has a bunch of options for their QB to turn to. This is no knock on Brees. I just thin that their defenses injury and depth will catch up with on the road, and vs a team with probably the most under-rated HC in the league. 5* Best Bet MINNESOTA VIKINGS |

Taking the PATRIOTS. I'll lay this beast. And try to keep my reasons brief. So Titans down 21-3 to KC. KC loses best player to take advantage of poor Tenn pass defense. Titans get, let's just say, a few calls in their favor. Won't get into detail. Safe to say that everything that needed to happen, happened. Enter the Pats. We are going to go against Hoodie? In a week where we see a problem between Brady, Kraft and Hoodie. It's mass chaos in New England. Coach vs Trainer vs Owner vs QB. Forget that nonsense. The defense has been an absolute monster down the stretch. Toss out those early games. 14ppg since. 'All in on Tennessee' - Belichick 10* Money Bomb NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS |

Taking the FALCONS today. You can grab the 2.5, but I will go 3 just to take back a little extra cash. So, we cashed on Atlanta last week. I am not sure why everyone is shocked they won. As I said. Against a rookie HC and basically, a rookie QB, I would take a veteran QB and HC playing with a chip, the size of a Super Bowl Trophy, on their shoulder. And what do they walk into here. Only an Eagles team that has been average at best. Now, I like Foles. In fact, I backed Philly over the Giants and while they won, they couldn't cover. Then we had that Monday night game vs the Raiders. Finally, the Nate Sudfeld game. Enter our Falcons. This isn't last years team. They are playing much better defense. The fact is, with no Wentz, this game is a toss up. ATL the fave really based on the QBs. Both defenses are pretty solid. And both teams can run the ball. I am just coming back to what they learned last year. Philly, like the Rams, are rolling the dice with house money, up-starts. Bright futures. Falcons on the other side of that. Veterans. Looking to redeem themselves. 5* Best Bet ATLANTA FALCONS |

Off to an 0-2 start in conference play as they have dropped both game to the other top teams, Furman and East Tenn. So this the the old 'circle the wagons game.' Must win in every sense of the word. They beat Western by 15 at home, and 20 on this court. They need more of the same tonight. 8* Sure Shot MERCER |

01-08-18 | Alabama -4 v. Georgia | Top | 26-23 | Loss | -105 | 144 h 41 m | Show |
Taking ALABAMA tonight. So. Tide is the team that shouldn't have been playing say a lot of people. Even though as the 4 seed they were to be favored over every other team in the playoffs, and the country for that matter. It is easy to say that the only real team Alabama played, Auburn, beat them. And then you Auburn beating what was the #1 Alabama and then #1 Georgia before falling to Georgia in the SEC Championship. But this Bama team was #1 for nearly all season for a reason. Just like they are favored over every team for a reason. Again, they have been dogs exactly once since 2010. A 1.5 to these same Georgia Bulldogs in 2015. Crimson Tide rolled to a 38-10 win. We know what to expect from Alabama. I thought they would cruise to a relatively easy win over Clemson and they did. I think the Clemson defense is as good, or better than Georgia's. Now. Is Baker Mayfield and the Sooner offense better than the Tide. Absolutely. But they pasted this defense for 48 points. And really, they should have won. And I am not saying that as a guy who had the Sooners. Their 1st year HC Riley really wet the bed when it mattered most. Kirby Smart is an old Bama assistant. Well, Saban is 11-0 winning with an average score of 38-10 over his old coaches. 427-111 in those 11 games Tide have outscored Tennessee (Dooley) , Colorado State (McElwain), Florida (Muschamp)+ (McElwain), Florida State (Jimbo) , and Michigan State (Dantonio. I am not expecting some wild game like that. I think this is going to be more along the lines of Bama/LSU, Auburn/ Oregon than the last 3 playoffs where we saw at least 60 scored in each game. These are really 2 of the same molded programs. But I am backing the teacher over the student. 5* Best Bet ALABAMA |

Taking the PANTHERS. So. We have the old, it's hard to beat a good time 3 times playing out. Saints won 34-13 and 31-21 this already this year. But it is January football. I am not a fan of Cam at all. But I like his legs and the rest of the RBs vs this depleted Saints defense. Not a lot of depth and they are missing 5 starters. We saw the Bucs march down the field last week as time was running out to score a win. On a side not, that TD sent it Over the total and we go 7-2 instead of a super 8-1. I just think that we have seen Carolina knock off the Pats and Vikes. A pair of pretty good teams. We cashed with the Falcons over these same Panthers. Everyone saying, oh Carolina has a lot to play for. Well what about Atlanta. They were playing for their season. (had them yesterday also) - Road team 23-10 ATS last 33 in the series. Underdog 6-1 ATS last 7 in the series. Panthers 0-6 ATS last 6 in the series. Something has to give. I am betting on Cam being 'Superman' and not 'Laptop Man' - 8* Sure Shot CAROLINA PANTHERS |

Taking the CHIEFS here. Man oh man with all these lines wild-card weekend. Normally I am shying away from near double digit faves come playoff time. But I see a pair of totally different teams. Yes. We cashed the Titans as our Top 10* Money Bomb last Sunday. But we don't fall in love with teams. We like numbers. Value. We started the season backing the Titans over the Raiders. And we will end their season fading them vs the Chiefs. KC a bit different now with their new OC calling plays. I just don't see Tennessee being able to hang close here.
