L.A. Clippers at Portland 10:00 ET

Clippers (+) over Trailblazers- The LA Clippers have had a complete overhaul and the 'newbies' are playing well under coach Doc Rivers doing for the most part predominately on the defensive end. The Clippers hold opponents to 43.2% shooting from the floor with only 32.7% from 3-point range. This is the fifth of a six-game home stand with Portland already 3-1 including a win our 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks winner over the Bucks. LA will be missing Avery Bradley and Luc Moute but play as a team and will overcome the missing parts. Take the CLIPPERS!

Carolina at Pittsburgh 8:20 ET

Steelers (-) over Panthers- Three weeks ago the Panthers looked dead in the water as they trailed the Super Champions 17-0 in Philadelphia in the fourth quarter and some how managed to score three TD's for a 21-17 Vegas Hotline win. (Haven't had many of those in NFL lately) Well, since they have dominated Baltimore and Tampa Bay wining the last two at home and now take to the road where they are 1-2 SU and ATS. Although Ben Roethlisberger bitches about playing on Thursday's the Steelers are 3-0-1 ATS. Add that Pittsburgh is 5-0 SU last five and 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Carolina is tough against the run ranking 8th but it is the Steelers explosive passing attack that they will have to be concerned with. You should be concerned about Chip's Pac-12 Game of Year (7-0 100%) Saturday winner! Take the STEELERS!

Toledo at Northern Illinois 8:00 ET

Rockets (+) over Huskies- After a slow start 1-3 with losses to Iowa, Utah and at Florida State things looked dim before conference play started. Starting with a win over E. Michigan they have reeled off five straight going 4-1 ATS. Toledo has had some prolific scoring games netting 66, 63, 52 , 51 1n3 45 in their five wins. But, the Rockets are going to have to man up to the level of competition here. The price seems a bit low to me but with the road team going 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and with the Huskies 1-7 ATS at home against winning teams. Blast off with the ROCKETS and Chip's Pac-12 GOY (7-0 100% ) winner Saturday! Take TOLEDO!

San Antonio at Miami 7:30 ET

Heat over Spurs- The Heat had dropped three straight before winning at Detroit Monday 115-110 in overtime and they did it without Hassan Whiteside who averages 14.6 rebounds and 2.75 blocks per contest. Whiteside is questionable tonight and that lowers 'our' rating of this battle just a bit. I like teams in situations when they are ready to win regardless of who's in the starting lineup and I like Miami hear. Defense is such a key ingredient to the Heat winning as they held the Pistons to 41% shooting from the field. Take MIAMI!

Milwaukee at Portland 10:00 ET

Trailblazers over Bucks- Just how good are this year's Milwaukee Bucks? Matching their best start in franchise history dating back to their Kareem Abdul-Jabbar days in 1971-72 the Bucks are led by ever-emerging Super-star Giannis Antetokounmpo who has been totally dominate in the early going. Milwaukee has had the benefit of having played six of their nine games at home where they are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS but, the road has been a little different. This term they are 2-1 SU and 1-2 ATS and 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games although they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings in Portland and six of the last seven meetings overall. So these past trends are all one-sided but with one huge difference between then and now...the Bucks are now the favorite. 'Turn-about is fair play'...take PORTLAND!

Tennessee at Dallas 8:15 ET

Cowboys (-) over Titans- Tennessee and Dallas have identical 3-4 records with the Titans having lost their last three and are off the loss in London two weeks ago. Dallas like so many mediocre clubs plays well at home going 3-0 while being winless (0-4) on the road. The Cowboys like the Titans are off a bye week although they didn't have to travel overseas. Neither quarterback is any thing to write home about and both squads have fine defenses but thenTitans offense is one of the worst in the NFL while the Cowboys at least have Ezekiel Elliot. Take DALLAS!

Cleveland at Orlando 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Magic- This could be ugly with the 1-8 Cavaliers and the 3-6 Magic going at each other. Cleveland who has won once (at home of course) and is 0-4 straight-up on the road but 3-1 ATS with their loss ATS coming last time out at Charlotte. Orlando is 0-4 ATS in their last four home games and the Cavaliers are 8-3 in their last 11 meetings in Orlando (with James) and will suck it up once again. The Magic are off an outright road win at San Antonio and will return to the center here. Take CLEVELAND!

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 6:00 ET

nets (+) over 76ers- When Joel Embiid wants to play the 76ers are virtually unbeatable and fortunately he prefers to play his best in front of the home crowd. Philadelphia is now 6-0 at home after pounding Detroit on Saturday as Embiid had 19 points and 17 rebounds, but playing on the road is a different story. The 76ers are 0-4 when playing away from home and are 0-7 ATS in their last eight on the road. Brooklyn is 2-2 at home and off a loss to Houston on Friday where they blow a 17-point lead. This time their efforts cover four full quarters. Take the NETS!

Detroit at Minnesota 1:00 ET

Lions (+) over Vikings- The in-n-out Lions at 3-4 and still in the thick of the things in the NFC North trailing the Bears (4-3) by just one-game. Detroit is coming off a home loss to Seattle (28-14) while the Vikings lost at home to New Orleans 30-22 after having won three in-a-row. If Minnesota is going to have their way they will do it on the round were the Lions defense is the weakest. But, Matthew Stafford is capable of earning at least a part of that contact and deliver the goods here. Road team is 4-1 ATS in last five...take DETROIT!

Pittsburgh at Baltimore 1:00 ET

Ravens (-) over Steelers- I don't know what going to happen here but this contest caught my eye right of the bat. Not just believe its the Steelers and Ravens but because of the spot these two enter the battle. Pittsburgh has won three straight and at 4-2 lead the AFC North while Baltimore has dropped their last two and have fallen to 4-4. Just with records alone the Ravens are in desperate straits to win this game. Falling 3-game back in the loss column after your season mid-point spells problems for playoff hopes. Note, that Pittsburgh is 1-6-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take BALTIMORE!

Boston at Indiana 7:05 ET

Pacers (+) over Celtics- After a 2-2 start Boston has reeled off four straight wins including a franchise setting 3-point performance (24 made) to take down previously undefeated Milwaukee. Indiana who has won their last two contests both on the road return home off a sluggish outing at Chicago. Somehow, even with the return of Gordon Hayward the Celtics are not as highly touted by the 'books' as they were last season as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games against a team with a winning record and the Pacers are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 following an ATS loss. Take INDIANA!

Missouri at Florida 4:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Gators- Florida is coming off a major letdown as their SEC chances are done. Meanwhile, Missouri is still searching for their first SEC win (0-4) and nothing less then a total offensive collapse in the 2nd half last week (zero 1st downs-8 straight 3-n-out)) against Kentucky kept them out of the win column. Tigers quarterback Drew Luck will play at the next level and I expect him to rally his offense this week with a great Gator challenge. Florida QB situation is one of inconsistency and turnovers. Look for the Tigers to notch their first SEC win...take MISSOURI!

Penn State at Michigan 3:45 ET

Wolverines (-) over Nittany Lions- I sort of feel a little out of my head giving so many points to the Nittany Lions but that's why I'm attracted to Michigan. The points are generous for a reason and maybe the Wolverine 'Revenge Tour' has something to do with it as they are avenging losses from last season, first to Wisconsin, then Michigan State and now for Penn State who crushed Michigan 42-13 last season. Jim Harbaugh said that they will pay for 'rubbing' it in. Take MICHIGAN!

Oklahoma City at Washington 7:30 ET

Wizards over Thunder- A pair of also-rans go at it in the nations capital as the Wizards who are winless at home (0-2) host Oklahoma City. The Thunder started 0-4 but have ripped off four three straight wins including a 19-point comeback against Charlotte last time out. Washington made an off-season acquisition of eight-time all-start Dwight Howard and for the most part I believe that acquiring Howard spells doom for any team he is associated with. As long as Howard rebounds and stays away from the free thrown line they can win here. Take WASHINGTON!

Sacramento at Atlanta 7:30 ET

Hawks (+) over Kings- Sacramento who started 1-3 with some explosive youngsters on their squad has reeled off for straight wins including the last two on the road. That is a good sign for the Kings but won't help overcome them tonight against Atlanta who has lost their last two on the road and returns home to host the Hawks who has lost 11 straight in Atlanta. Like the Kings to Hawks are among the youngest teams in the league and will play their best at home. Take ATLANTA!

Utah at Minnesota 8:00 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Jazz- Utah has won the first three games of this four-game road trip and finish at Minnesota who is at home for their third straight games. The Timberwolves won the first two meetings last season and then the Jazz won the other two to balance the series. Minnesota bounced-back from a 30-point home loss to Milwaukee and took a 124-120 win over the Lakers last time out as Towns and Butler finally played well at the same time. Take TIMBERWOLVES!

Miami at Charlotte 7:00 ET

Heat (+) over Hornets- Miami fell to the Hornets 113-112 in their home opener ten days ago in a game they believe that they got 'hosed' by the officials in the final second of play. The Heat are off a home loss to Sacramento last night despite Hassan Whiteside's 24 rebounds and five blocked shots because of a poor shooting night from the field and free throw line. Miami is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and are 4-1 ATS in Charlotte. Take the HEAT!

Atlanta at Cleveland 7:05 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Hawks- Cleveland is the only winless (0-6) team in the NBA and have a 'new' coach as Tyronne Lue could not survive the James departure. The Cavaliers who opened their home season with a 133-111 loss to the Hawks nine days ago as an 8-point favorite are now favored again and it seems a bit odd for a team that hasn't won a game yet and have already been pounded by Atlanta at home. Maybe new coach Larry Drew can turn them around. Take CLEVELAND!

Utah at Dallas 7:00 ET

Mavericks (+) over Jazz- In an unusual twist the Jazz who hold one of the stronger home court advantages is 0-2 at home and 3-0 on the road. Utah has their way in New Orleans last night crushing the previously undefeated Pelicans 132-111. Dallas has a mirror image record as they are 0-3 on the road and 2-0 at home. The Mavericks will have the return of Dennis Smith who missed a start because of and ankle sprain and leading scorer Harrison Barnes is back after a hamstring pull. After last night's blow-out win Utah should fall back a bit tonight. Take DALLAS!

Green Bay at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET

Rams (-) over Packers- This game has attracted plenty attention not only because it involves the best team in the league or the best quarterback on the field but because the 'line' is so high. I'm wondering if they are trying to tell us that the Rams are that good or Green Bay heading south. We should realize that both could be true and I do suspect that the Packers are on the down slide. Problems with Rogers are greater then 'they' are willing to admit as he appears at times to be hobbling. Green Bay have the best QB on the field but Los Angeles has the best running back with Todd Gurley leading the NFL with 686 yards on the ground and 14 touchdowns (Rogers only has 12 TD's). I think that the line is excessively high and that gives me thought that the oddsmakers are making it easy for 'us' to take the points. Well, not this time. Take the RAMS!

Philadelphia vs Jacksonville 9:30 ET

Jaguars (+) over Eagles- Do any of you guys or gals recall what has happened the previous NFC East Super Bowl Champions the following season. The Giants alone didn't make the playoffs after each of their four Super Bowl wins and the Eagles 'hangover' runs as deep. Okay, enough of these guys falling flat, how about the Jaguars play of late it has been a disgrace. These two met for the NFC title last season and it doesn't look that either of them will make it back to that level. Big news about the Jags their QB and it will be Blake Bortles and the team will respond. Jacksonville has won three in-a-row at Wembley Stadium and this makes four. Take the JAGUARS!

Texas at Oklahoma State 8:00 ET

Cowboys (+) over Longhorns- Listen if the Cowboys weren't able to control Longhorns we would all be vegetarian streak including a win over Oklahoma 48-45. Oklahoma State has a high powered offense that averages nearly 40-points per contest and they have had two weeks as well to pine off their beating at Kansas State (maybe a look-ahead). The Longhorns needed the two weeks for QB Sam Ehlinger to return from a sprained passing shoulder. Texas has the series edge 24-8 but the Cowboys have won six of the past eight and tonight makes another WIN! Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Charlotte at Philadelphia 7:30 ET

Hornets (+) over 76ers- After what I saw out of the 76ers last season I expected them to be force in the East and challenge Boston for the conference title. But, Philadelphia made a mess of their draft and are insisting on using personnel that is ready for prime time. Joel Embiid is a dominate figure when healthy and is questionable tonight after rolling' his ankle in practice yesterday. The Hornets dropped all four meetings last year by an average 14.5 points Without Embiid the Hornets Kemba Walker and Tony Parker should have their way. Take CHARLOTTE!

Utah at U.C.L.A. 10:30 ET

Bruins (+) over Utes- Utah is in position to win the South Division (3-2) but must first get by the Bruins who still have a shot after starting 0-5 (2-2). The Utes are off a convincing win over USC 41-28 moving them into the ranked teams at No. 24 and now catch a squad that is brimming with confidence after posting back-to-back wins smashing California and defeating Arizona. Utah is knowN for it's defense and it is UCLA that has excelled leading the Pac-12 with a plus 6 turnover ration. They have enough to get the money here. Take U.C.L.A.

Calgary at Winnipeg 8:30 ET

Blue Bombers (-) over Stampeders- This is the first time that Calgary have been an underdog this entire season. They have already clinch their playoff spot and may not be motivated here. After a 4-game losing streak they responded and are currently on a 4-games SU and ATS win streak. The Blue Bombers seem to pay their best at home against teams with winning records as they are 15-5 ATS in their last 20. Take WINNIPEG!

Boston at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET

Thunder (+) over Celtics- Maybe it's just because it is early in this season, but the Celtics just don't look right to me. The return of Gordon Hayward has not been impressive but neither has the performance of Oklahoma City. The Thunder are 0-3 with Russell Westbrook making his debut in their last game against Sacramento 131-120 putting up 32 points, 12 rebounds with eight assists. Boston has won 10 of the last 12 meetings straight-up but are a meager favorite here. Look for OKC to post their first win of the season. Take the THUNDER!

Indiana at San Antonio 8:30 ET

Pacers (+) over Spurs- 'What a difference a day makes'....actually an off-season. San Antonio who has been a major factor in the NBA for decades has taken a step down (in the odds-makers eyes). In the last 10 meetings between the Spurs and Pacers that have been played in Texas SA has been favored by six to 10-points in each game. Tonight they opened less than a long field goal and that speaks volumes. Indiana who is off Monday's loss at Minnesota are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games after a ATS loss. Indiana has won just two of their last 16 trips to San Antonio and that is why this line is so suspect. Take PACERS!

Philadelphia at Detroit 7:00 ET

Pistons (+) over 76ers- The Pistons have a new attitude inspired by their 'new' head coach Dwane Casey who is the reining NBA Coach of the Year after leading Toronto to the best record in the East last season and they are 2-0. I was so high on the 76ers going into the NBA Spring draft and since then they have gone in the wrong direction. This will be a match-up of two huge power players in the Sixers Joel Embiid and the Pistons Blake Griffin who are both scoring over 29 points per. Aside from playing Markelle Fultz as a starter Philly has an ailing Ben Simmons forcing more action off their bench. Take DETROIT!

Washington at Portland 10:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Trailblazers- Both clubs opened their season with a pair of home games with Washington losing twice and Portland winning their first twice. This of course if the third straight home game for the Blazers while the Wizards are starting a five-game road trip. This contest provides us with one of the best back court pairs going at it as Washington's Bradley Beal and John Wall will be pitted against Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. In game three both clubs should move more toward the middle. Take WASHINGTON!

Cincinnati at Kansas City 5:20 ET

Bengals (+) over Chiefs- Those 'Dirty-rotten' pieces of garbage, did it to 'us' 'me' again. I frigging' HATE this club as they find ways to lose that can't be anticipated. Yet yes, I am talking about the Cincinnati Bengals am I will have them 'good' here. Kansas City falls into what Wayne and I like to call the 'Bang-Bang) theory. When are team, be it basketball, football or any sport for that matter has it's undefeated streak broken into the season that they struggle to recover emotionally before their next encounter. Therefore more often then not they don't make it especially as a favorite. All the trends say to fade the Bengals but I can't here. Take CINCINNATI!

Golden State at Denver 8:00 ET

Nuggets (+) over Warriors- Golden State remains undefeated as they staged a dramatic 18-point come back to beat Utah at the buzzer 124-123 on Friday while the Nuggets are also 2-0 after cruising past Phoenix 119-91 yesterday. Denver is 2-0 for the first time in seven years while for the Warriors it hasn't been since 2015. These two split for meetings last season but Denver is 62-22 at home against Golden State. Take the NUGGETS!

New England at Chicago 1:00 ET

Bears (+) over Patriots- I love it, I love that way the Bears just folded in Miami in a game that they thought they had won. And that was the problem, once you start thinking about next weeks opponent (New England) you can never get it back. Chicago blew late to the Dolphins because the Patriots were creeping into their minds. (even if not, it could have happened) But, the point should be that the Pat's will have their full attention for a full sixty minutes. New England handed Kansas City their first loss last Sunday night scoring 43 points. Here's the rub, NE is just 3-9-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points and I have more, The Bears are 10-3 straight-up and 11-2 ATS at home against AFC East off a win (Thank you ML-Playbook). Anyway you slice it the Bears are the 'play.' Take CHICAGO!

Toronto at Washington 7:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Raptors- I'm sure that there will be an over-reaction to Toronto's quick 2-0 start and convincing win over the Celtics last night. Kawhi Leonard led the way last night with 31 points and 10 rebounds is bringing the Raptors into Washington where the Wizards lost their opener to Miami 113-112. This contest is a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference first round playoff series which Toronto won in six games. This time it's the home team. Take WASHINGTON!

N.C. State at Clemson 3:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- Let me start by saying if I had not already posted my NCAA Blow-Out Game of the Year (Washington 28-7 winner) this would be it. Don't be sucked into taking an undefeated conference rival and all those points. It's a SUCKERS BET! Don't do it. The trends here will support the Wolfpack on numerous counts including they fact that they are 18-3 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye, that they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips here, the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight and to cap it off Clemson is 0-4 ATS in their last four at home. Well, why then...I guess THEY'RE DUE! Take CLEMSON!

Cincinnati at Temple 12:00 ET

Owls (-) over Bearcats- Here we go again...Jerry called! He's right! Last week he called and pointed out unranked USC as a 7-point favorite over a #17 ranked Colorado and won easily. This week he called to remind me that ranked and unbeaten #21 Cincinnati (6-0) comes to Temple as an underdog to the Scarlet Knights (4-2). If you are looking for answers or a rational explanation as to how this or that is going to happen or why, for that matter it is going to happen. But, it should! Maybe, some people of 'influence' in the Philadelphia area want the Owls to shine or maybe there are conditions and circumstances surrounding this game that we never be privy to. By the way the longer the wait the better the 'price' will be! Take TEMPLE!

Golden State at Utah 10:30 ET

Jazz (+) over Warriors- Both of these clubs opened with a pair of unimpressive wins as Golden State defeated Oklahoma City 108-100 as a double-digit favorite at home while Utah won a lackluster 123-117 performance at Sacramento. Utah won three of their four meetings last season winning both home contest and the final three meetings. The Jazz consider themselves a tough defensive team and they will make 3-points difficult for the Champs. Take UTAH!

Minnesota at San Antonio 8:30 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Spurs- When thinking about what going on with these two clubs it's hard to imagine they finished the 2017-28 season with the exact same 47-35 record. We are all aware of the circus that Jimmy Butler has created for the Timberwolves while San Antonio had internal issues of their own when DeMar DeRozan was balking about being traded from Toronto. I am not a DeRozan fan and don't believe his presence makes the Spurs any better. I expect an angry and motivated Butler to be too much to handle. The last time they payed here the Spurs were -4.5 and this contest opened -1. Vegas feels the Wolves are at least 3-points better then last they met. Take MINNESOTA!

Jacksonville at Dallas 4:25 ET

Cowboys (+) over Jaguars- The Cowboys have been one of the least impressive teams on offense this season despite having the NFL's leading rusher in Ezekiel Elliott who has 480 ground yards. The obvious problem for Dallas in their quarterbacking and receiving. Dak Prescott has been exposed with his inaccurate throws and must keep drives alive with his legs. Jacksonville has QB issues of their own with Blake Bortles inconsistent play. With Leonard Fournette out once again the Dallas defense (one of the better ones) can stifle the Jaguars offense. Take DALLAS!

Colorado at Southern California 10:30 ET

Trojans (-) over Rockies- My good friend Jerry called to let me know that is a game that fits a certain criteria I have about ranked teams being favored against unranked teams. What we have here is an undefeated 5-0 #18 Colorado club that is visiting USC who they have never beaten 0-12. The Buffaloes are off a bye week and have had two weeks to gloat and pat each other on the back. This week they are up against a Trojan team that was off to a slow start and has began to put it together winning their last two conference games and are ready here. Add that Colorado is 1-6 ATS after a bye. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

Central Florida at Memphis 3:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Knights- Do any of you guys remember last years shoot-out as Central Florida won and covered as the home favorite (-6.5) 62-55. Well, Scott Frost (0-5 at Nebraska) is gone and nothing has changed for the Knights as they are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS laying an average 26 points per game. Memphis is averaging over 46 points and is led by Brady White who is at 69.2 completions along with Darrell Henderson leads the ACC in rushing and averages 11.8 points per game. The home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 and the Knights are 1-4 ATS in their last five at Memphis. Take the TIGERS!

Saskatchewan at Winnipeg 2:00 ET

Blue Bombers (-) over Roughriders- Saskatchewan has won seven of their last eight straight-up and now they show up as an underdog to the Blue Bombers who have won and 'covered' their last three. The Roughriders are 2-0 this season against the Bomber and winning in Winnipeg 32-27 as a 4-point dog. This time Bombers will avoid the 'Hat-Trick.' Take WINNIPEG!

Nebraska at Northwestern 12:00 ET

Cornhuskers (-) over Wildcats- Okay what's going on here. The opening line on this matchup was Northwestern -9 and in one swoop the number dropped to 3.5 and that is mostly due fact (I believe) that the Cornhuskers (0-5) are ready to win. Nebraska has been able to move the ball of late gaining over 500 yards in each of their last two contests (first time since 2007 that they had back-to-back 500 yards on offense. Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez accounted for 441 total yards setting a freshman school record against Wisconsin and will lead this team to their first win of the season. Take NEBRASKA!

Texas Tech at Texas Christian 7:30 ET

Horned Frogs (-) over Red Raiders- From what I've seen of these two clubs these 'price' is way high in my minds eye. Texas Tech is averaging 48.4 points per game and yet have a pair of losses to West Virginia and Mississippi (?). TCU is also 3-2 but has been totally unimpressive to date going 2-3 ATS with losses to Ohio State and Texas. The Red Raiders are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after a bye week and the Frogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four conference games. Trends all one sided and yet the line invites Tech action. No for me...take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

L.A. Rams at Seattle 4:25 ET

Seahawks (+) over Rams- I don't know how I can even think of taking this 'side' as I believe the Seahawks are on the downslide while we all realize the Rams are the team to beat. Los Angeles is undefeated 4-0 and 3-1 ATS and have the betting darling from the get-go leading the NFL in scoring averaging 35-points per game. Seattle has put wins together over powerhouses Dallas and Arizona and is just 1-2-1 ATS but have allowed just 30 points in last two contests. Checking past history the Rams are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Seattle although they are just 1-6-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Still, somehow...take SEAHAWKS!

Tennessee at Buffalo 1:00 ET

Bills (+) over Titans- Okay, now that the 'public' has jumped on the Tennessee bandwagon it is time to tip the cart. After an opening week loss at Miami the Titans have won three streak including their win over the Super Bowl Champs Philadelphia last week and they come into the Bills den and the are angry. Buffalo has shutout 22-0 ay Green Bay and was humiliated in the process. This remember was a playoff team a season ago and pounded the Vikings three weeks ago. Buffalo is 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a loss. Take them here...take the BILLS!

Baltimore at Cleveland 1:00 ET

Browns (+) over Ravens- From what I've seen on the field Baltimore has been the most consistent and more professional in their approach to games and play. Cleveland is way improved on the field but still has the same personal running the show and he just doesn't know how to win! This has been a one-sided series with the Ravens winning 18 of the last 20 including 5-0 SU/ATS in the last five meetings, but with new quarterbacking behind No. 1 draft pick Baker Mayfield (the new Brett Favre) the Browns believe that they can turn the tide. Browns might surprise here as they have nothing but this game to look forward to. Take CLEVELAND!

Notre Dame at Virginia Tech 8:00 ET

Hokies (+) over Fighting Irish- No. 6 Notre Dame is having dreams of an undefeated season and a FBS Final-4 berth. No. 24 Virginia Tech who opened the season with a dominating win over Florida state only to be upset by 27-point underdog Old Dominion as the lost their starting quarterback Josh Jackson. The Irish have made a change of their own at QB but voluntarily inserted in Ian Book place of Brandon Wimbush and Book has responded with 74.3% completions while throwing for 525 yards. The Hokies once again see this as an opportunity to crack the Top-10 and move up in the nation scene. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Get it NOW for just $69 or Part of Chip's 3-Pack or Fab-5 of NCAA Best Bet winners.

Utah State at Brigham Young 9:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Cougars- Okay, Kenny this one is yours! But, I'm on board 100%. When the season opened the Vegas odds-makers had little regard for BYU making them a 10-point dog at Arizona (Wildcats are terrible) and then a 23-point underdog at Wisconsin, but two road upset wins have changed their impression. Now, after losing in 'our' Blow-out' GOY (they were on the short end 35-7 to Washington) they come up a meager favorite at home against an intra-state rival. Utah State ( 3-1, 4-0 ATS) who has been a doormat for the most part as far as college football is concerned is averaging 51.5 points a game and is 4-1 ATS in their last five trips the BYU. Note this is a state rival and the underdog is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings. Take UTAH STATE!

Kansas City at Denver 8:20 ET

Broncos (+) over Chiefs- Yep, what more can I or anyone say about Pat MaHomes! Kansas City has jumped out to a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS scoring 38-42-38 with Mahomes throwing for 10 TD's with no interceptions. Denver opened 2-0 with west coast wins over Oakland and Seattle but took it on the chin 27-14 back east at Baltimore. Now, the Broncos are on familiar grounds where the decibel level is a loud a any NFL stadium but, the Chiefs are 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five meetings and seem invincible right now. But, this is a tough spot for a division team on the road on Monday Night with all the attention of the football world on them. I have got to have...DENVER!

Tampa Bay at Chicago 1:00 ET

Buccaneers (+) over Bears- I understand the impact of the Bears defense and their power running game but they still have a major weakness and that is their quarterback play. The Chicago offense is limited because of the things Mitchell Trubisky can't do. Tampa Bay on the other hand most likely will go with their veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick with Jamis Winston in the wings. The games has before an air war and here the Bears are out-armed. Buccaneers have thrown for 1,202 yards while Chicago has managed just 534 yards through the air. Chicago has won their last two but the Bucs are 5-0 ATS in their last five against the NFC. Take TAMPA BAY!

Brigham Young at Washington 8:30 ET

Huskies (-) over Cougars- Whoa...whoa! What's is this 'number' supposed to be? A pair of 3-1 clubs with mirror image ATS record with BYU 3-1 and Washington 1-3 ATS. This match-up makes me sweat as I hate to lay points like this but there are too many positive factors to ignore. The bad stuff is BYU is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and the Huskies are 0-4 in their last four non-conference games. Okay, that's out of the way and I don't care about it because this 'number' is so outrageous it takes precedence over everything. The Cougars have posted impressive wins over Arizona 28-23, Wisconsin 24-21 and last week 30-3 over McNeese State. And that's what going to hurt them. Washington had a toughie last week against Arizona State winning 27-20 but have won three straight since Auburn and are gaining momentum. I don't expect this price to rise but to drop. The fact that this is the FOX-TV game rises my expectations. Take WASHINGTON!

British Columbia at Hamilton 4:00 ET

Tiger-Cats (-) over Lions- This line looks a little over inflated as Hamilton is just 6-7 and 5-6-1 ATS while BC is 6-6 and 7-4 ATS. The Tigers-Cats have dropped their last two and lost the first game of the series last week with the Lions winning 35-32 in OT at home. I see Hamilton getting a bit of revenge here as such a strong favorite in their own backyard. Lay the points and take HAMILTON!

Toronto at Calgary

Stampeders (-) over Argonauts- Bad spot for Toronto as the Stampeders are off a bye and ready to make their late season push. The Argonauts who are 0-5 on the road are off a disappointing 30-29 loss to Saskatchewan while Calgary 6-0 at home are rested and have already pasted the Argos in June 41-7. Add that Toronto is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 Friday games. Take CALGARY!

New England at Detroit 8:20 ET

Lions (+) over Patriots- You don't have to check this out but I believe that the former Bill Belichik coaches struggle when put up against their mentor. So, from what I have seen out of first coach Hank Patricia's work I question weather he will make it as a head coach. I sort of feel that the only way for the Lions to win is for Belichick to give Patrica his game plan. Although New England has problems of their own, Brady not-withstanding. The Lions showed plenty of life in the second half against the Niners and came close to winning but earned a 'back-door' cover. More of the same tonight...Take DETROIT!

Green Bay at Washington 1:00 ET

Redskins (+) over Packers- I've been right twice with and against the Redskins and I really like the my side here today. Green Bay was a huge money-maker for the Books last week as the Vikings were driven to the favorite by public and wise guy action both. Of course the Packers have the current Superman in Rogers at quarterback but Washington has veterans of their win that can cut the mustard and Alex Smith is just 20 shy of Rogers total and will be primed to atone for last weeks home loss. The host team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take WASHINGTON!

Stanford at Oregon 8:00 ET

Ducks (+) over Cardinal- Man, where's Chip Kelly when you need him...(getting killed at UCLA). Oregon was a Pac-12 power under Kelly getting the Championship game before falling to Auburn and Cam Newtown, anyway after pounding three nobodies scoring 155 points while going 3-0. Stanford will have the return of running back Bryce Love the Heisman candidate who missed the thriller against UC Davis (30-10). Ducks have scored 43 points per game the 18 contests and are looking to avenge last years 49-7 loss at Stanford. Take OREGON!

Michigan State at Indiana 7:30 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- This could have been at match-up of unbeaten's if the Spartans hadn't just totally fell apart in the fourth quarter two weeks ago at Arizona State blowing a late 13-3 lead. Indiana is 3-0 SU, 1-2 ATS having struggled against the number covering as a favorite for the first time last time out against Ball State. Last season the Hoosiers snatched defeat in the jaws of victory at Michigan in their 19-7 loss and look to atone against a Michigan State team that may not be as strong as predicted. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take INDIANA!

Texas Christian at Texas 4:30 ET

Longhorns (+) over Horned Frogs- After cashing in with both these clubs last Saturday I still see a winner between them Saturday afternoon. Texas worn down the youthful USC squad in the second half and won 37-14 in a crushing win that coach Tom Herman said was much needed to understand the energy needed to win. TCU gave 'us' a major effort and could have actually defeated Ohio State if not for two late INT's. There is no doubt in my head who the better team is as TCU has won the last four meetings by and average of 30 points. But, the Frogs are off an emotion home loss to the Buckeyes and may be a little 'down.' In a surprise take...TEXAS!

New York Jets at Cleveland 8:20 ET

Jets over Browns- Okay, here we go! Here we have a team that has won once in their last 35 tries (0-1-1) and they are favored against the 1-1 New York Jets. Many were hoping (especially the NFL Network) that the two No.1 picks Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield would have a shootout here but the overall No. 1 pick for the Browns will be taking a seat for veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor who is at just 53% completions while the rookie for the Jets is at 66%. I just don't respect the idea that a winless team (into their third season) is favored and the 'public' is all over them. Take the NEW YORK J-E-T-S!

Kansas City at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET

Steelers (-) over Chiefs- I don't quite understand why the rush to pay against the Steelers. Could be the response of then tie against Cleveland or many be more the absence of 'what's his name.' interceptions and six overall turnovers are the explanation. Pittsburgh has a 14-point lead in the fourth but gave up the ball and came away with the tie, and they will be more then ready against the Chiefs this week. But, ha here comes the Chiefs on the warpath with fearless leader Pat Mahomes who threw for four TD's last week. In a matter of performances the Steelers out-gained the Browns by 155 yards while Kansas City although a winner were out-gained by 180 yards. LAY IT...PITTSBURGH!

Arizona State at San Diego State 10:30 ET Aztecs (+) over Sun Devils- Do Sun Devils come out at night...not this week! There are some many reasons to be 'against' Arizona State (Herm Edwards aside). Rocky Long's San Diego State squad is a little banged-up but he always manages to have his troops ready when playing against the PAC-12 where he is 5-1-1 ATS as a home dog. Note, that ASU is 1-5 ATS in their last six against the Mountain West and worst then that for them they fall into a 8-27 ATS go 'against' trend being 2-0 SU and favored on the road in Game 3. Take SAN DIEGO STATE!

Houston at Texas Tech 4:15 ET Red Raiders (+) over Cougars- Both clubs will look to run you to death and I don't mean with a ground game I mean with the pace of play. Houston has posted 45 points in each of their wins over Rice and Arizona while Texas Tech scored 77 against under-manned Lamar after opening with a loss to Mississippi 47-27. The Cougars prefer natural grass as they are 0-8 ATS in last eight on Field Turf but will have junior QB D'Eriq King who has 10 TD in two games. The Red Raiders will counter with their two-headed QB attack and a better defense. Take TEXAS TECH!

Louisiana State at Auburn 3:30 ET Home Team Tigers (-) over Visiting Tigers- There isn't one person that I've met that doesn't think this line is out of whack. They all insist the proper line would have Auburn a 3-4 point favorite and that is why this game caught my attention. Here we have LSU pummeling Miami on National TV and then shutting out SE Louisiana 31-0 now a virtual 10-point underdog against a team rated at their level. In head-to-head action the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and LSU in 0-4 ATS in their last four visits to Jordan-Hare Stadium. I expect Auburn t get off to a quick start and then apply pressure as the game continues as they have allowed just three first quarter touchdowns in the last 21 games. A heavy load to bare but I have to LAY-IT and you should too. Take AUBURN!

Hawaii at Army Sat Noon ET Cadets (-) over Rainbows- I can't emphasize how ridiculous this game looks 'to me' after sharing with you the 'set-up' here. Here's how it starts, Hawaii comes East 3-0 averaging 49-points per contest and defeated the Navy in Hawaii as a 10-point dog 59-41. So, we know when Army and Navy are to be rated in the last three decades that you would start with Navy as a 10-point favorite and then work form there. Now, this may be a part of National Pride with the understanding that there is a rivalry between the Cadets and Middies but in essence the Rainbows have beaten 'one of our own'. For the Army to open as a 7-point favorite if a farce after what Hawaii has done. 'It Don't Make Sense'...Take ARMY!

British Columbia at Montreal 7:30

Alouettes (+) over Lions- With the 'curse' over Montreal has become a more competitive club winning their last two and three games (3-8) straight-up and 5-6 ATS. These two opened the season at BC and the Lions (-9) win 22-10 and they have won and covered the last five meetings. Montreal has the confidence needed with two wins and are off a bye week. It's just a spot for the home club. Take MONTREAL!

L.A. Rams at Oakland 10:20 ET

Raiders (+) over Rams- Okay, the John Gruden Raiders Edition II starts tonight and this time it is supposed to be a 10-year rein. Of course the big stink in Oakland is that the Raiders allowed Khalil Mack to escape to Chicago for a pair of No. 1 picks that won't be able to help until they are in Las Vegas. Los Angeles signed their huge defensive holdout as Aaron Donald came to terms and returns to the club that won their division last season for the first time since 2003. The Raiders had a disappointing season last year falling to 6-10 as injuries took their toll. This time around Oakland surprises the Rams. Take the RAIDERS!

Dallas at Carolina 4:25 ET

Cowboys (+)over Panthers- It is sort of hard to remember the Cowboys were 13-3 in 2016 after what has happening to their 'playing' personnel since that time. Gone are Dez Bryant and Jason Witten some of their stronger offensive line a man and along with long time and veteran place kicker Dan Bailey. What remains is still worth mentioning as Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, linebacker Sean Lee and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. The Cowboys has defeated Carolina five straight until their last meeting three years ago but Dallas is looking to bounce back from what both Elliott and Prescott admit were disappointing performances. Boy's shock the 'public' with a WIN here. Take DALLAS!

Michigan State at Arizona State 7:45 ET Spartans (-) over Sun Devils- Wow, what an adjustment the odds makers have done concerning Arizona State as they for the most part just totally disregard them after the hiring of Herm Edwards. They set the win total for the Sun Devils at 4.5 and that is real ranking them amount the lowest of major schools. ASU under Edwards pummeled Texas San Antonio 49-7 and really flexed their muscles to the point the odds makes moved this number down 2-points before it hit the board. Michigan stated who hands their hat on their defense surrendered 344 yards to Utah State and escaped with a 38-31 victory. I just really like this spot. Take SPARTANS!

USC at Stanford 8:30 ET

Trojans (+) over Cardinals- These two rivals started the season in fine fashion playing close with their opponents for the first half before pulling away down the stretch. USC (-24) handled a 'game' UNLV squad 43-21 leading 19-14 heading into the final period before outscoring the Rebels 24-7 but not an ATS winner. Stanford like the Trojans started slowly and lead 9-7 at the half before running away from San Diego State cruising in the second half 22-3. Southern Cal holds a 62-32-3 series advantage winning last season 31-28 as a 3.5-point favorite. This time the 'cover' as the road 'Dog'. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!

Saskatchewan at Winnipeg 4:00 ET

Blue Bombers (-) over Roughriders- This is the second of a home-and home where Edmonton won not only last week but their last three games overall as well. Meanwhile the Blue Bombers have gone the opposite route losing their last three SU and ATS and now are favored by more then a field goal at home. If me, you and Sherman got into the Way-back Machine we would call this a 'Double-Play.' It's just a matter of 'numbers' and the way the schedules falls. Take WINNIPEG!

Ottawa at British Columbia 10:10 ET

Roughriders (+) over Lions- Ottawa leads the CFL East despite losing the the league worst last time out as Montreal humbled them 21-11 last Thursday. The Roughriders who are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 road games. B.C. Is off a bye but has only one win in their last five games and has dropped five of the last seven meetings. Straight-up the Lions defense surrenders too many points and Ottawa averages 403 yards per game. Take ROUGHRIDERS!

Toronto at Hamilton 6:30 ET

Tigers-Cats (-) over Argonauts- After their embarrassing loss to Montreal last week Toronto has turned to McLeod Bethel-Thompson as its new starting quarterback and added a wide receiver to the mix. Now, here is the rub, Hamilton is 2-4 straight-up and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six contests and yet they are a huge favorite here. When looking at the last five meetings we see that Toronto is 4-1 straight up and ATS and the Tiger-Cats haven won over Toronto by this point spread since. Number just don't add up. Take HAMILTON!

Michigan at Notre Dame 4:30 ET Fighting Irish over Wolverines- What a way to start the season! No. 11 Notre Dame will host No. 14 Michigan and these two heavy weights haven't met since 2014 when the Irish pounded the Wolves 31-0 and have won five of the last six when playing as hosts. But with new coaches on both sides Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and Notre Dame Brian Kelly this game takes on an even larger ora. Michigan return 10 starters on defense the No. 13 ranked stop unit in NCAA action last season and have transfer quarterback Shea Peterson from Mississippi while the Irish return multi-talented Brandon Wimbush who can beat you in the air or on the ground. Notre Dame has won 25 of its last 31 openers and they only have to WIN here. Take NOTRE DAME!

Colorado vs. Colorado State 9:30 ET

Rams over Buffaloes- Neither of these clubs are expected to shine through the season but the way Colorado State was manhandled by Hawaii 43-34 Saturday night surrendering 617 total yards makes me wonder. Now, that is an incredible sum of yards to surrender by a team that went off a 17-point favorite. Yet, after trailing 37-7 the Rams had the heart to fight back and close on a 28-6 rush. And further still is the fact that Colorado State gained 653 yards themselves including 537 passing by K.J. Carta-Samuels (Washington graduate transfer) who had five passing TD's. State should have no trouble getting 'up' for their intra-state rival and probably were caught looking ahead last week. The Buffaloes are at Nebraska next week and could get caught 'peeking' and get caught here. Take the points and the RAMS!

Montreal at Ottawa 7:30 ET

RedBlacks (-) over Alouettes- These two met two weeks ago here in Ottawa and the RedBlacks won 24-17 as a 14-point favorite. Since then Montreal got back in the win column after six straight losses while Ottawa was sitting home with a bye. The Alouettes by far the worst team in the CFL have 'covered' their last three and yet after their improvement the odds maker puts them at a 17-point dog. That is moving in the opposite direction. Montreal is going with Antonio Pipkin at QB and it won't make a difference. Take OTTAWA!

Minnesota at Tennessee 8:00 ET

Titans over Vikings- Tennessee made a coaching move in the off-season and it may have been a mistake. New coach Mike Vrabel is still looking for his first pro win as the Titans are 0-3 in pre-season action and have looked terrible offensively. Most new coaches look to establish a 'winning culture' upon entering a 'new' situation and that certainly hasn't been the case here. Minnesota staged a great coming from behind win last week in their 21-20 win over Seattle and are favorites in the NFC with 'Kirk' Cousins leading the way. The Vikings will look to protect their assets while the Titans are looking to show something positive for their home fans entering the season. Take TENNESSEE!

Wyoming at New Mexico State 10 PM ET

Aggies (+) over Cowboys- It took New Mexico State coach Doug Martin five season but he finally brought the Aggies to their first Bowl game and win since 1960. Now, that is some drought! Wyoming of course is known for producing the Bills #1 pick in Josh Allen who only completed 55% of his passes for the Cowboys last year as they closed their 7-5 season with a 37-14 Bowl win over Central Michigan . Although NMS lost three key offensive players they return 15 starters including nine on defense and only lost 13 seniors. Wyoming opened a 5.5 point favorite but the 'sharps' in Las Vegas have driven it down to 3.5. as of Friday afternoon but I suspect it will go back up. With the late start I would have to believe that the 'public' will bet this game back up. So, if you can, I think you will get more points the longer you can wait before making your wager. Take NEW MEXICO STATE!

Baltimore at Miami 7:00 ET

Dolphins over Ravens- This is the fourth game of the preseason for the Ravens and they have posted three wins but are only 1-2 ATS. Miami on the other hand is 0-2 both SU and ATS and have lost their last five overall and 8-of-10. Baltimore has now won 11 straight preseason games under Harbaugh and it looks like the odds-makers are giving 'you' or 'us' a chance to take them without laying points (they actually might go to a small favorite). Week 3 is supposed to be a 'dress' rehearsal for the opener but the Ravens are ready now. This game has so much more significance for the Dolphins who has Ryan Tannehill back this season and will use him tonight. Oh I almost forgot to tell you my friends at Playbook tell me that 'any 0-2 team that is a dog or favorite by 2 or less points in Game three has an ATS record of 24-7 77%.' So, take MIAMI!

Winnipeg at Calgary 3:30 ET

Stampeders (-) over Blue Bombers- It isn't often that I look to lay points with a prohibitive favorite but I just believe that Calgary is that much better then Winnipeg and when they want to play no one in 'this' league can touch them. Home favorites have not fared well in the CFL going 9-12-1 ATS this season but road dogs are 5-17 straight-up. The Stampeders spotted Saskatchewan a 24-6 half-time lead and were handed their first loss of the season last week while the Bombers had their three-game win streak stopped by Ottawa. Calgary has won 14 of 16 here against the Blue Bombers and this will just be one more win. Take the STAMPEDERS!

Green Bay at Oakland 10:30 ET

Raiders (-) over Packers- Boy oh boy! You have got to be kidding me. The Green Bay Packers have scored 82 points in two pre-season wins including 51 last week against Pittsburgh while the Raiders under John Gruden are 1-1 and are off last weeks loss at the Rams 19-15 scoring a total of 31 points on their two contests. Here's the thing the Packers have had two blowout wins at home and must now take to the road and open a 7-point underdog. Now, think about this, the Pack just scored 51 points and have two huge wins at Lambeau Field and now in their first road test they are the largest dog on the card this week against a team that didn't score a point with their starters in the game. I don't expect much of an effort out of Green Bay and neither do the oddsmakers. Take OAKLAND!

Baltimore at Indianapolis 8:00 ET

Colts (+) over Ravens- The long awaited return of Andrew Luck has been realized and his playing time increased but his ability to throw the ball down field without pain has been noted. Baltimore of course has quarterback issues of their own as exciting draft pick Lamar Jackson and veteran starter Joe Flacco have not warmed up to each other and Robert Griffin III is around for clean up work. The Colts new head coach Frank Reich brought in new offensive and defensive co-coordinators and all are playing every game to win especially now to establish as winning culture. Take INDIANAPOLIS!

Seattle at L.A. Chargers 10:00 ET

Chargers (-) over Seahawks- Since taking over the Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has had the best pre-season ATS record of any other team in the NFL Entering this season he is 34-14-1 ATS in his preseason career including 7-1 ATS the past two seasons. But, things change and the Seahawks lost their opener to the Colts 19-17 and trends head in opposite directions. The Chargers also took and opening week lost at Arizona and look to establish a favorable home base. Things change...take the CHARGERS!

New York Jets at Washington 8:00 ET

Redskins over Jets- Most of us saw his performance last week and opposition players are raving about New York's Number One draft pick (#3 overall) quarterback San Darnold. The Jets are coming off a 17-0 win over Atlanta while the Redskins blew a 17-0 halftime lead at New England. The Jets also have a come-back story with Teddy Bridgewater and Josh McCown while Washington has newly acquired Alex Smith and Colt McCoy who left with that 17-0 lead at halftime while Smith will see his first preseason action tonight. After blowing the lead and the Jets winning by a shutout fortunes should reverse here. Take WASHINGTON!

Ottawa at Toronto 7:00 ET

Argonauts (+) over RedBlacks- Ig you have seen Toronto play at all this season I hope it was only once because they are difficult to get behind. The reining Grey Cup Champions are battling Montreal for the bottom spot in a nine team league. They have been terrible to date winning once at home as an underdog 20-17 over Edmonton and have lost three straight and six of seven straight-up and ATS. The RedBlacks defeated the Argos the final game of the pre-season 32-17 at Toronto but have lost nine of their last 10 regular season road meetings. State wise the QB are a wash and with Ottawa posting an upset outright 21-15 win at Hamilton and won't be able to handle to roll reversal as the favorite. It's not about talent tonight its timing and the situation. Take the home dog (hasn't done so well in the CFL this season) Toronto PLUS!

Golden State at Cleveland 9:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Warriors- Well, things are going as many expected as the Warriors need just one more win over Cleveland to complete the NBA Finals 4-game sweep. This is the 14th time an NBA team has gone done 3-0 in the Finals and no team has ever recovered to win the series. In Game 1 the Cavaliers blew their best chance at winning because JR Smith just doesn't have enough 'basketball IQ' and in Game 3 despite their best shooters (Curry and Thompson) having 'off' nights the Cavs couldn't over-come the talent deep Warriors. Golden State has won 10 of the last 11 meetings but Cleveland is 7-2 in elimination games. One last salvo for the Cavaliers. Take CLEVELAND!

Cleveland at Golden State 8:00 ET

Warriors (-) over Cavaliers- I just can't see Cleveland being ready in the 'head' after what they went through in Game 1. That is a lot to recover from and aside from Lebron James I don't believe the rest of his teammates can do it. James himself has got to be discouraged. Klay Thompson will be out for Golden State but they are used to playing with out all of their cylinders and still get the job done as they will tonight! Take GOLDEN STATE!

Cleveland at Golden State 9:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Warriors- I realize the odds are insurmountable against the Cavaliers as well they should be with the talent laden Warriors at home. We all know five beats one and Golden State has more weapons but really haven't played a complete game in the playoffs (oh yeah, their was one in Houston). This is the 4th straight season that these two clubs have meet in the finals with the Warriors winning twice while the Cavaliers victory came after trailing the series 3-1. With such a huge physical and psychological advantages I can see the Warriors just playing good enough to win. Take CLEVELAND!

Golden State at Houston 6:05 ET

Rockets (+) over Warriors- The question here is how will Houston react after blowing 17-point lead in Game Six and scoring only 25 points in the second half after scoring 61 before the break. The Rockets won more games then any other NBA club and were 41-9 straight-up at home. Chris Paul is questionable in this the deciding and 7th game by the Rockets will regroup and get the money here. Take HOUSTON!

Cleveland at Boston 8:30 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Celtics- This has been the 'easiest' playoff series to handicap I have ever seen as the key is to just take the home team. Boston took the first three home games by an average 17 points and have never lost a Game 7 at home after taking a 2-0 series lead. They are undefeated at home 10-0 in the playoffs and are 32-17-2 ATS at home. The conflict comes when one sees that LeBron James is at his best in elimination games and Cleveland with be without second leading scorer Kevin Love. Well, their will be no 'Love' for Boston tonight. Take CLEVELAND!

Houston at Golden State 9:00 ET

Rockets (+) over Warriors- Taking the Rockets without Chris Paul may be a mistake but I am one of the few that just doesn't care for his game. But, the real issue here is the pysch of the Warriors who just don't look like the championship team that we are used to seeing (especially in big games). Golden State has more injury problems that we can not see. Although they have won a game in this series by 41 points the Warriors are falling short on the court. Take HOUSTON!

Boston at Cleveland 8:30 ET

Celtics (+) over Indians- If there has ever been a home-court advantage in the NBA Playoffs this series is it! The margin of victory for the home team has totaled 92 points with a 'perfect' ATS 5-0 record. Despite this Cleveland still has the worst ATS home record in the entire NBA and have the elimination game pressure tonight. But, with LeBron out-scoring his four other starting teammates combined points five times already this post-season the Cavaliers just don't have enough fire-power to overcome J.R Smith. Smith was washed-up five years ago and is just around because the Cavs are not allowed to play with four players. Boston has grown during this series and will get the 'money' tonight. Take BOSTON!

Golden State at Houston 9:00 ET

Rockets over Warriors- Losing one game should not be a big deal especially in the playoffs but the way the Golden State Warriors lost at home in the Playoffs for the first time in three years brings doubt into one mind. They scored just 12 points in the final quarter and none in the final 3:40 looking dazed and confused. Houston trailed 12-0 to start the game and then overcame a double-digit lead by the Warriors in the final quarter. The Rockets have won seven more games then Golden State this season and will take advantage of home floor. Take HOUSTON!

Cleveland at Boston 8:35 ET

Cavaliers over Celtics- Talk about home floor advantage...four games four home team blowouts! Boston is 9-0 at TD Garden this postseason and Cleveland would have to win their third straight in this series to break the Celtics streak. The Cavaliers who somehow just continue to advance are 3-4 on the road this postseason and James was they only player to score double-figures in both Games 1 & 2. The fact the Cavs came up the favorite in this game after what we have already witnessed makes me wonder. It's James...LeBron James! Take CLEVELAND!

Houston at Golden State 9:00 ET

Rockets (+) over Warriors- I believe the Warriors have established themselves as the 'best' team in the NBA at least for this season. The only issue I can see is if Stephen Curry is ailing and even then they are deeper then any other NBA club. Golden State who posted the largest playoff margin victory in franchise history (41-points) last time out has a habit of sleep-walking nest time out after a blowout win. The Rockets will attempt to play a little more defense this time out but truthfully they will need to make some shots as well. They will tonight...Take HOUSTON!

Boston at Cleveland 8:30 ET

Celtics (+) over Cavaliers- Boston is undefeated at home (9-0) in the NBA Playoffs but have struggled (1-5) on the road and are off the Game 3 beating where LeBron James claimed it was their best effort 'in a long time.' No Boston team has even lost a playoff series after leading 2-0 and they don't necessarily have to win the game outright here. I expect Celtics head coach Brad Stevens to make the proper adjustments and slow down LeBron and the rest of the weak shooting Cavaliers. Take BOSTON!

Houston at Golden State 8:00 ET

Warriors (-) over Rockets- Houston won the had they 'had' to win as they evened this Best-of-7 at 1-1. But, the Rockets no longer have the home floor advantage and that is not good news. Golden State carries a 15-game home winning streak in the playoffs and with a win Sunday night will establish a new NBA record. Many are beginning to think that Stephen Curry is not at full strength and is actually 'hurting' the Warriors cause. Think again boys, it's just an anomalies...Take the WARRIORS!

Boston at Cleveland 8:30 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Celtics- Well, my thinking here is that J.R. Smith will hit at least one shot at home during this game. Last time out he had more flagrant fouls then points as he failed to get on the board, but Smith has always been a 'front-runner' and with King James leading the way he will not feel the playoff pressure as much. I know that it is difficult to lay points after what we have all seen the first two games of the playoffs between these two but now Cleveland is at home where they are (ready for this) a putrid 14-33 ATS. Still, it is now or never for the Cavs. Take CLEVELAND!

Cleveland at Boston 8:30 ET

Cavaliers over Celtics- After what 'we' saw in Game 1 where the Celtics took control early and dominated Cleveland from start to finish it doesn't look like the Cavaliers have any chance. I know the Cavaliers looked bad and LeBron just went through the 'motions' as he 'knew' early that his club just wasn't in it. We had the winner in Game 1 and I feel after they way the Cavs looked that I must come back with them after that lackluster performance. They is only one way to go here as most think with a Cavs win the series is virtually over. Take CLEVELAND!
