Minnesota at Chicago 1:00 ET

Bears (+) over Vikings- Chicago was one of my two Sunday winners as a Power Play winner in a game that they should have won. But, isn’t that the story of the Chicago Bears, they do just enough to get beat even when they re playing one of their better games. They let the Packers off the hook and now they are confronted by the Vikings. Bears are 4-2 at home and could easily be 5-1 while the Vikings are 4-1 SU on the road and 3-2 ATS. The Windy City boys won the last meeting in Minnesota after five straight losses. Bears with confidence win here. Take CHICAGO!

Tampa Bay at New York Giants 1:00 ET

Giants (+) over Buccaneers- I can’t help it every time hear Giants’ quarterback Tommy Devito’s name I think of he Tommy Devito that sung with the Four Seasons and I remember he plays like Danny Devito the actor. New York really has no idea who they are trying to do but with the fans of New York and New Jersey cheering for their local boy the Jints will come up with a solid effort and get the money somehow! Take NEW YORK GIANTS!  

USC at UCLA 10:30 ET

Bruins (+) over Trojans- Don’t compare stats here because they will be one-sided and you might hesitate to make the wager that you should make. But, remember that this is a rivalry game and we are supposed to throw out the numbers...I hope so. UCLA was absolutely terrible the first half of the season but have come on to the point that they can beat USC who was supposed to rule the west. An outright loss at Michigan (GOY in September winner) exposed the Trojans and they have been nothing special since. Their win over the Huskies last weekend sets this up perfect. Take UCLA BRUINS!

Alabama at Oklahoma 7:30 ET

Sooners (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama is good and much better than most expert thought that they would be and Oklahoma is not so good and most thought they would be  contenders for the big title. The Sooners offense is dreadful and it has been just a harding hitting an opportunistic defense that has provided any wins at all. They have been outclassed by Tennessee and destroyed by South Carolina. But, hosting the Crimson Tide in Norman will be a special experience for both the Sooners and the Tide with the home squad being ready and giving an emotion filled effort. Rake OKLAHOMA!

Texas A&M at Auburn 7:30 ET

Tigers (+) over Aggies- Another contest that appears to be a one-side affair with A&M being the heavy. Auburn has failed in spots when they actually out played their opponents but late mistakes cost them wins both SU and more importantly to us ATS. The Aggies have a meeting with Texas next week and the coaching staff has already said we are not thinking about Texas while talking about Texas. A distracted visitor get clawed by the Tigers. Take AUBURN!

Texas Tech at Oklahoma State 3:30 ET

Cowboys (+) over Red Raiders- This is my toughest call of the day because of how bad Oklahoma State has been under Gundy who is not going bowling for the first time in 18 years. This is a shock to many in Stillwater as the Cowboys returned last year leading rusher. But, after a 3-0 start defeating Arkansas 39-31 injuries hit the club and they have dropped seven straight starting with 19-17 loss to Utah. Cowboys defense surrenders 499.5 YPG but the Red Raiders who have lost 3-of-4 don’t tackle anybody either. Last ditch effort by Pokes. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Colorado vs Kansas 3:30 ET

Jayhawks (+) over Buffaloes- Things happen in sports tat are difficult to explain..think of what the Mets did in baseball this summer. Starting June the were 9-games under .500 with no hope and a dismal outlook. Three months later they were in the playoffs. My point is once that mojo starts it is hard to turn back and the Jayhawks have the mojo. Now, the same could be said for Colorado with them having won eight straight games entering this contest. True they rebounded after looking weak against Nebraska but they didn’t have to pick themselves up off the floor after five straight one score losses and defeating a pair of undefeated conference leaders Iowa State and BYU. Take KANSAS!

SMU at Virginia 12:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Mustangs- SMU at 9-1 wishes it can only redo five field goals and no TD’s in their lone loss 18-15 to BYU. Sinc that Sept. 6 loss the Mustangs have reeled off seven straight wins scoring touchdowns and averaging 39.5 points a game. After getting manhandled at Notre Dame the Cavaliers has dropped 4-of-5 and welcome the Mustangs to Charlottesville first their first ever meeting. They can still get to a bowl with a win here or next time out against rival Virginia Tech. Take VIRGINIA!

Purdue at Michigan State 8:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Spartans- I would think that when you opening the season with a 49-0 win be it over Indiana State you still have a positive outlook for the year. But, without a doubt this is the weakest Purdue football I have every witnessed and I have seen over 60 years of football viewing. Michigan State might be a bite better but they have dropped their last three games. Boilermakers know with Indiana up next this is their final real chance for a win...great effort tonight. Take PURDUE!

Pittsburgh at Cleveland 8:15 ET

Browns (+) over Steelers- This is one of those ‘don’t worry about mule being blind ...just load the wagon! This has got to be one of those ‘I don’t believe what happened game because without referees or video take there is no quarter the ravens were devour this team. Cleveland has eroded from within and have crumbled all together. The problem is that it is too easy to bet against the Browns. The Steelers have won and covered five straight while the Browns who where expected to contend for the division title have dropped their last two and seven of eight. Yet, there is hope because of the way the beat Baltimore three weeks ago, who in so many ways is a mirror image of Pittsburgh. Take CLEVELAND!

Houston at Dallas 8:15 ET

Cowboys (+) over Texans- Dallas haas lost four consecutive games and none of them were close. The Cowboys have defeated Houston four of the last six meetings and should be ready to play for the pride of the state of Texas! The Texans quarterback CJ Stroud has thrown more interceptions this year then he did in his entire rookie season. Cowboys lasso Texans. Take DALLAS!

Cincinnati at LA Chargers 8:20 ET

Bengals (+) over Chargers- John Harbaugh has changed the entire style of play of the Chargers and it reflects directly to him as a coach. No longer are the Chargers a pass first team that plays a wide open game, it has been replace with a ground game first and anything else later. LA is last in passing attempts and passing yardage. The Bengals are trying to off another late season surge and the book makers believe in them despite their 4-6 record why else would the 6-3 Chargers be nearly a pick-em. Take LA CHARGERS!

Green Bay at Chicago 1:00 ET

Bears (+) over Packers- Man, the Bears can be just terrible at time and the problem is that it is more often than not. Poor Caleb Williams really hasn’t had a chance with the consistent pressure he must endure. With four wins you would think that Chicago had to win with defense but the are in the middle of the pack defensively. Green Bay’s quarterback Jordan Love has been great at time but he has thrown at least one interception in six straight games. The Bears have lost 10 straight to the Packers and failed the cover even once going 0-10 ATS. Because of this I have struggled with this selection but it was he first of all that I was drawn toward. Take Da’ BEARS!   

Cleveland at New Orleans 1:00 ET

Browns (+) over Saints- The dregs of the league have to meet some time and now it’s time for the dysfunctional Browns (2-7) to come to New Orleans and are favored against a 3-7 club that just broke a seven game losing streak as Derek Carr returned under center. Cleveland is off a home loss to the Chargers and have dropped six of the past seven games. Former Saints QB Jameis Winston will be extracting a bit of revenge against his former mates. Take CLEVELAND!  

Las Vegas at Miami 1:050ET

Raiders (+) over Dolphins- I have felt for three weeks now that the Raiders are just not a team that you should be betting on. From coaching (especially coaching), to special teams , to quarterback play and defense. Gardner Minshew regains the start for Las Vegas after having been benched twice this season. The third time is a charm for the turnover prone (12 ints) Minshew who at times during his career has actually looked capable, but not so much with the coaching and player talent level here with the Raiders. Still, a surprise is about to happen as the Raiders who lost at Miami 20-13 last season as a 14-point dog bark even louder this time around. Take LAS VEGAS!

Minnesota at Tennessee 1:00 ET

Titans (+) over Vikings- Right now these two clubs have mirror image records as the Vikings enter Nashville 7-2 and Tennessee is 2-7. Even worse for the Titan backers is that they are 1-8 ATS while Minnesota is 6-3. Here’s the rub and Sam Darnold will pay the price because he will be up against the NFL’s No. 2 ranked defense allowing only 273.6 yards per game and they are No. 1 in fewest passing yards allowed with just 156.7 per game. Darnold has six interceptions in the past two games and the Vikings have fail to score a touchdown in either game. Take TENNESSEE!    

Kansas at BYU 10:30 ET

Jayhawks (+) over Cougars- I hope that I am not chasing my tail with this one but it can not be helped as their are so many factors that give me Kansas. Last week I was freaked out by the Jayhawks who was 2-6 was just a +2.5 underdog to a 7-1 Iowas State that I deemed it m “don’t Make Sense’ Game of the Year. Well, see more of he same here with the undefeated Cougars (9-0) at home favored by the same 2.5 points. I feel the same way about this game as I did last week with one trepidation...all the sharp people in Las Vegas are all on the Jayhawks and this game may have attracted too much attention. Regardless...take KANSAS!

Oregon at Wisconsin 7:30 ET

Badgers (+) over Ducks- No. 1 Oregon let by quarterback Dillon Gabriel invade Camp Randell for the first time as Big Ten opponents. Gabriel a sixth year transfer from Oklahoma via Central Florida set the NCAA record for total touchdowns with 147 passing TDs and 33 rushing totaling 180. Iowa has had two week to dwell on one of their worst losses in decades to Iowa. After Tyler Van Dyke went down with an injury redshirt freshman Braedyn Locke has be very pedestrian, but this is a team game. Take WISCONSIN  

Tennessee at Georgia 7:30 ET

Bulldogs (-) over Volunteers- Talk about having your backs to the wall Georgia can not afford another loss and must run the table to have a realistic shot of qualifying for the Final-12. The feel fortunate to be playing a club that they have beaten 10 straight times and the line shows respect from the oddsmen. Bulldogs scored just 10 points against Megabucks winner Mississippi last week their lowest point total since week one 2021. Vol’s defense has yet to allow 20 points but have not played the same level of competition. Take GEORGIA!

LSU at Florida 3:30 ET

Gators (+) over Tigers- LSU opened the season a beaten favorite 27-20 to USC they then proceeded to win six straight before dropping their last two games to Texas A&M and  Alabama. At 7-3 the Tigers can be respected but disappointment surrounds the program and doubts about Brian Kelly are circulating in the alumni and media. But, job speculation is more of concern for Florida’s Billy Napier who at 4-5 is on the hot seat. Tigers have won and covered the past five meetings  He can get off that seat at least for awhile with a win here. Take FLORIDA!  

Michigan State at Illinois 2:30 ET

Spartans (+) over Illini- Michigan State is off a much need bye after losing their 2nd straight game and five of six while Illinois won six of seven before dropping their last two at home to Minnesota and two weeks ago at Oregon. This is major step down for the Spartans who are off  much need by week after consecutive losses to much stiffer competition losing to Ohio State, Oregon and Indiana. MSU has won f-of-6 meetings including the last one at Illinois. Take MICHIGAN STATE!  

Texas at Arkansas 12:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Longhorns- No. 3 Texas has one loss this season and eight wins but all their wins came against unranked teams and their loss came against Georgia the only ranked team they have played. Arkansas had a week off after getting routed by Mississippi and look to atone for their miserable showing. Razorbacks have a better offense but must keep possession of the ball and they will be ready. Take ARKANSAS!

ULCA at Washington 9:00

Huskies (-) over Bruins- Last week as the Nittany Lions had their annual White-Out game where the student body is encouraged to be clad all in white. To counter State’s move to white Washington returns home and will go to the dark side and be uniformed in black and they are requesting all in attendance wear black. Considering the state voted for Kamala Harris most would be wearing black anyway.So far they have played in a blackout at Rutgers, a stripe-out at Iowa and a red-out at Indiana and lost all four colorful games. This one wearing the colors of the grim reaper. Take WASHINGTON!

Washington at Philadelphia 8:15 ET

Eagles (-) over Forskins- The two top contenders in the NFC East square off in Philadelphia where the serging Eagles host the upstart Commarders. The boys from Brotherly Love have won five straight and will be in a battle for the top spot in the division. The Eagles defense which is ranked No. 2 in fewest yards allowed per game with 274 while Washington is ranked No. 28 in rushing defense allowing 148 YPG and are No. 29 in allowing 5.0 YPR and with a healthy Sequon Barkley the Eagles will soar. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Miami at LA Rams 8:15 ET

Dolphins (+) over Rams- Miami enter this fray losers of their last three and six of their last seven games. The Dolphins of course were without QB Tua most of the time but they still lost in both games since he’s been back by 3-points to Buffalo and 1-point to Arizona. The South Beach squad is just 2-8 ETS in their last 10 games overall. LA is on a three game win streak averaging 26 points a game but are 0-4 SU in the last four meetings going back to 2008. Look for the Dolphins to surprise the Rams. Take MIAMI!

Detroit at Houston 8:20 ET

Texans (+) over Lions- Okay, here’s the closer on this one. Houston who leads the AFC South by two games had a player’s only meeting to straighten out their issues. This team is 6-3 and not pleased with he way they are playing and realize what we have seen so far will not measure up against the Lions. Detroit has established they are the best team in the NFL. Oh, okay the NFL because although not being very impressive the Chiefs are undefeated. Take HOUSTON!

Philadelphia at Dallas 4:25 ET

Cowboys (+) over Eagles- These two were expected to be fighting for the NFC East division title and it will take a huge turn-around from the Cowboys for this to have a chance and don’t forget about the upstart Commies. Prescott will not play for Dallas and at this point does that really matter...I think not Copper Rush is 5-1 as a starter for the Cowboys. Philly’s Sequon Barkley is having another Pro bowl season and the ‘Boys must adjust. Take DALLAS!

Atlanta at New Orleans 1:00 ET

Saints (+) over Falcons- The Dennis Allen Era is over and it was never a pleasant journey as the Saints have been nothing more than one disappointment after another. To start the season the way they did up it was false hope defeating two of the worst defenses in the NFL and it has all caught up with them. Derek Carr’s injury didn’t help but he is back healthy and they are a different team when he is upright. Falcons get grounded here. Take NEW ORLEANS!

San Francisco at Tampa Bay 4:25 ET

Buccaneers (+) over 49ers- This has become a tougher call as the week progressed because some many opinions that I respect like the Niners here. But, I weighed the factors and still feel the Buccaneers are the side here. So, McCaffery is getting into action for the first time this season and I expect there to be an over reaction to his value for this encounter. Baker Mayfield leads the NFL in TD passes with 23 while the Buc’s have dropped three in-a-row they have averaged 27-points. Take TAMPA BAY!

Buffalo at Indianapolis 1:00 ET

Colts (+) over Bills- Buffalo has done the unexpected for the most part leading the AFC East by a full four games. The Jets and Dolphins pose no threat to the Bills reign. Indianapolis has been one of the better team to back as t hey are 7-2 ATS although at 4-5 they need a win. Richardson is out and Flacco is back and that gives the Colts a chance. They have better balance for Taylor’s ground efforts. Indy returns home where they are 3-1 SU after a pair of road losses. Take INDIANAPOLIS!

BYU at Utah 10:30 ET

Utes (+) over Cougars- ‘The Holy War’ has a whole different look this season then what was expected during the off season. This summer when the early game of the year point spread came out Utah was made a 21-point favorite and when the line opened this week it was BYU minus -4. That is a 25-point difference and this is the biggest game of the year for both squads but it means the season for the disappointing Utes. As they say way too often ‘throw out the records’ when there two meet that’s what we do here. Hold your nose and take UTAH!

Georgia at Mississippi 3:30 ET

Rebels (+) over Bulldogs- They say the Rose Bowl game is the Grand-daddy of them all and that is how I feel about this SEC matchup. Georgia comes into Oxford a small favorite with one loss (7-1)to Alabama while the home Rebels have been defeated twice. Once at LSU and at home to Kentucky. Mississippi was expected to have a shot at the SEC crown with 19 returning starters and this game becomes a ‘must’ if they are to be considered for the final 12. Rebels are #2 overall in offensive yards gained and are No. 1 in passing yards at 376 per game. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Michigan at Indiana 3:00 ET

Wolverines (+) over Hoosiers- When Curt Cignetti took over the head coaching job at Indiana he said that he would turn this hapless program into a winner. Little did anyone imagine that they would be the undefeated Big Ten leader in November, ranked #8 and will get a shot at the National Championship. But, Saturday their stars are to be dimmed against the conference’s leading defense. The Wolves come in off a loss to Oregon their third in their last four games but the dominate the series having won 27 of the last 28 meetings. Take MICHIGAN!

Clemson at Virginia Tech 3:30 ET

Hokies (+) over Tigers- Clemson opened the season by getting annihilated by Georgia and then reeled off six straight wins until Louisville knocked them off 33-21 last week. Virginia Tech never had the same aspirations but usually end up bowl bound. Clemson has won the past six meetings with the Hokies last win coming in 2007. Both defenses are just about equal with the Tigers having the better offense but with a full house at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, VA. is Hokies will shine. Take VIRGINIA TECH!

Iowa State at Kansas 3:30 ET

Jayhawks (+) over Cyclones- This has to be the ‘Don’t Make Sense’ play of the day and I rate it as high as any Megabucks. Iowa State was undefeated enter last week and the media had them head to the football tournament championship but the were derailed by Texas Tech last week. Now, at 7-1 they come to Arrowhead Stadium and are a meager favorite against a 2-6 team that has lost six of seven. Kansas has now lost 16 straight to the Wildcats. This line is flawed so much so that I believe that the Jayhawks win outright...but, take the points with KANSAS

Iowa at UCLA 9:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Hawkeyes- Both of these clubs have posted back-to-back victories as Iowa won twice as favorites and covered wile UCLA had a pair of upset wins as underdogs outright. UCLA returns home for the first time in a month and brings the nation’s worst rushing offense in the nation with just 73.9 yards on the ground. That could spell trouble as the Hawkeyes have one of the better rushing defenses in the country. The Bruins will have to throw the ball o win and that they will do. Under-talented squad the Bruins have plenty of fight. Take UCLA!

Cincinnati at Baltimore 8:15

Ravens (-) over Bengals- This will be the second meeting of the season between these two AFC division rivals with the Ravens eking out an overtime victory 41-38. The Bengals had Baltimore down by 10 points late in the final period until a series of physical and mental errors did them in and that has been the story of their year. Joe Burrow is as good as it gets playing quarterback but this team just has some many holes that need to be addressed and the Ravens are that much better as they are No. 1 in offensive yards per rush and average 7.7  yards per play. Take BALTIMORE!

Tampa Bay at Kansas City 8:15 ET

Bucs/Chiefs (UNDER)- Kansas City is undefeated and are looking for the first Super Bowl 3-peat champion and for the most part the attention revolves around Patrick Mahomes and the offense. But, although the Chiefs are 7-0 they have not been impressive because the offense has been nothing special. Mahomes has thrown more interceptions this season, but it has been their defense that has carried the club. Now, Tampa Bay has Baker Mayfield throwing the ball all over the place (50 attempts vs Falcons last week) but they still fear Mahomes and do not want to get onto shootout. As I understand it their is suppose to be plenty of rain in the area. Rain or shine...Play UNDER!

Indianapolis at Minnesota 8:20 ET

Colts (+) over Vikings- Indianapolis at 4-4 SU are the point spread leaders going 7-1 ATS sort of being a bridesmaid and not the bride but with a bonus. Minnesota started fast inning their first five and covering each contest but now it seems that they have hit a wall dropping their last two game to the Rams and Lions. Now, they are playing the non-threatening Colts who are starting a 39-year old, 17 year veteran in Joe Flacco. That will be a huge upgrade from Anthony Richardson who is just not ready Take INDIANAPOLIS!

Detroit at Green Bay 4:25 ET

Packers (+) over Lions- The game of the day according to those in the know and most of us all probably will have some interest in this old NFC rivalry. Remembering battles of the ‘Black and Blue’ division when the Lions and packers played to a 6-3 and 9-3 finals along with the Bears and Vikings were considered the hardest hitting division in the NFL. Today’s game will be one of finesse of a pair of passing offense of which the Lions appear the be roaring. But, do not be deceived. last week in Detroit’s 52-14 win over the Titans they totals just 61 passing yards and only 225 total yards on offense. Stats never lie. Take GREEN BAY!

LA Rams at Seattle 4:25 ET

Seahawks (+) over Rams-Seattle opened the season with three straight wins over Denver, New England and Miami three of the weaker AFC clubs. Last week they were out classed by the Bills and now must ready themselves for a division meeting with the Rams who have defeated the Seahawks eight of the past 10 reunions. Through it all they are tied at 4-4 with the Niners and Cardinals with LA a half-game behind. The Rams won two games in five days to get in it after starting 1-4. LA 0-3 on the road and the beat goes on...take SEATTLE!   

Miami at Buffalo 1:00 ET

Dolphins (+) over Bills- Oh this one in getting silly, the lifetime series between these two. There was a time believe it or not while Miami had won 18 straight in this rivalry and 22 of 23 meetings but of course Don Shula was at the Dolphins helm. Well, now it is Buffalo that has won nine-of 10 straight meetings and the streak goes back further than that. But, right now the Bills are on a run and the Dolphins are running scared. Scared that their hopes of Tua leading them to the promise land has been side tracked by his injury. Well, he’s baaaack!

Take MIAMI!  

Washington at New York Giants 1:00 ET

Giants (+) over Commandos- The first time these two met in Week 2 the Giants set and NFL record by scoring three touchdowns and did not allow any touchdowns and lost the game. New York has played well enough to have won more than two games but simple breakdown at key moments have derailed their season. Jayden Daniels was in his second career game and still make Giants QB Jones look like an amateur. Big Blue is more like powder puff blue when playing at home and are 0-4 both SU and ATS. The Giants seem to rise against the former Redskins and are 6-3-1 SU and 7-3 ATS in last 10 meetings. Take NEW YORK GIANTS!

Pittsburgh at S.M.U. 8:00 ET

Mustangs (-) over Panthers- There is something really, really wrong here! Undefeated Pittsburgh (7-0) has surprised a lot of people (me included) that didn’t expect to see the Panthers rising their level of play. SMU (7-1) is as good as expected but were the first team to experience a defeat by the under-rated BYU Cougars18-16 the first weekend of September. Since that loss the Mustangs have run off five straight wins including a lackluster win over Duke last week. Believe me They will be ready for the Panthers this week. The is Pitts first ever trip to SMU an they won’t like the result. Take SMU!

Wisconsin at Iowa 7:30 ET

Badgers (+) over Hawkeyes- Iowa will be without their starting quarterback as Cade McNamara who left last week’s win over Northwestern early. Brendan Sullivan replaced him and led the Hawkeyes to 37 straight second half points. Red-shirt freshman Braedyn Locke will lead the Badgers who hold a small series edge but have dropped the past two meetings. Tings turn here. Take WISCONSIN!

Texas A&M at South Carolina 7:30 ET

Gamecocks (+) over Aggies- Last week I took a pass instead of using the Aggies (-3) against LSU and paid the price by replacing it with a game that fell short. This week no passing in the Texas A&M game but this time we will fade the Aggies. Ranked No. 10 A&M has won seven straight since falling to Notre Dame and are at the top of the SEC. I don’t believe that they will remain there. Starting with this game in Columbia SC. The Gamecocks have had two weeks to ready themselves after a 35-9 romp over Oklahoma in Norman. USC is 1-9 lifetime in this series with their lone win coming in Columbia two years ago. History repeats itself here. Take SOUTH CAROLINA!

Oregon at Michigan 3:30 ET

Wolverines (+) over Ducks- Okay, here we go! After passing on using a 23-point favorite and easy winner with Oregon last week who destroyed Illinois I am coming against the No. 1 team in the nation. Michigan has its short-comings and believe me they are very short. The Wolverines can not more the ball through the air and are one dimensional with the ground game their staple. Ducks QB Dillon Gabriel has three wins this season over Top-25 ranked teams while the Wolves have a terrible record against No. 1 ranked teams going 3-16-1 SU with all three wins coming at home. Take MICHIGAN!  

Spartans (+) over Hoosiers- I expected for there to be improvement with Indiana this season as new head coach Curt Cignetti is a proven winner and is 8-0 SU with a 7-1 ATS record and that is more than anyone thought would be. Bringing a slew of players over from James Madison the Hoosiers are out to prove they are winners at any level. The Spartans have been reeling on and off the field as coaching and player issues have derailed the program in the most recent seasons. Coming off a loss to arch rival Michigan the Spartans need two wins to become bowl eligible for the first time in four seasons and are looking for an outright upset win over the Hoosiers. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

Houston at New York Jets 8:15 ET

Jets (+) over Texans- Ah, a fast aging quarterback leading a team that is going nowhere spells trouble for its backers. New York with Aaron Rodgers leading the way is worse off this season 2-6 then last when they had Wilson at QB. Houston is one of the ‘public’s favorite sides and they just haven’t come as far as many think. The Jets need to come up big here as with a 17-game schedule they still have time to turn things around and made a move to the post season. Take NEW YORK JETS!

New York Giants a Pittsburgh 8:15 ET

Giants (+) over Steelers- A pair of old school NFL franchises face off Monday night when the Once proud New York Football Giants come into Pittsburgh to battle an original NFC club before the merger. The Steelers didn’t miss a beat with the quarterback change from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson and they actually scored their highest point total in three seasons. The Giants scored just 10 combined points in their last two contests both at home against Cincinnati and Philadelphia. New York’s coaching staff was assured their positions are safe as it is more of a talent level issue. Giants with Jones at QB are 1-14 in prime time but the number can be beat here. Take NEW YORK GIANTS!

Kansas City at Las Vegas 4:25 ET

Raiders (+) over Chiefs- The undefeated Chiefs are looking for the first NFL Super Bowl 3-repeat and have own the Raiders for a decade now. Except for a Christmas Day win in KC when the Chiefs had the division wrapped last season it’s been one sided 16-2 SU for KC. The coach advantage is laughable but it is time for the Raiders player stand-up and show some professionalism and stop silly errors and make good coaching in-game decisions. Take LAS VEGAS!

Buffalo at Seattle 4:25 ET

Seahawks (+) over Bills- Seattle started the year with three straight wins and then fell into a three week abyss losing to the Lions, Giants and 49ers before upsetting the Falcons in Atlanta last week. Buffalo opened the season with three wins and then took and pair of losses before defeating the Jets and Titans. This is the fourth road game in five weeks for the Bills and it is the longest trip of all to Seattle where the decibel record has been set. Seahawks in need and look to win outright. Take SEATTLE!  

Baltimore at Cleveland 1:00 ET

Browns (+) over Ravens- A pair of five-game streaks are on the line here but they are juxtaposed against each either. Baltimore enters Cleveland on a five-game winning streak going 5-0 ATS while the Browns have dropped five in-a-row and also their starting quarterback. Most feel that when a team losers their starting QB that there will be a drop off in play, but that can’t happen here. Browns players are ecstatic about the move to Jameis Winston in place of DesShaun Watson. Take CLEVELAND!  

New York Jets at New England 1:00 ET

Patriots (+) over Jets- How about those Jets with Aaron Rodgers at 2-5 and last season at this time with Wilson leading the way they were 4-3 and averaged two-points more per game. The Jets destroyed New England in their first meeting 24-3 in Week 3. But, the Pats have made some changes and mainly at quarterback where No. 1 draft pick Drake Maye get his first start against the Pats biggest AFC rival. In his second career start he was 26 of 37 for 276 yards with two TD’s and no INT’s. That’s better than any game Rodgers has had for the Jets! Take NEW ENGLAND!  

Green Bay at Jacksonville 1:00 ET

Jaguars (+) over Packers- Two weeks overseas is said to be good if you are rested, the Jaguars were rested their second week gaining enough strength to man handle the Patriots. Green Bay has won three straight while allowing just 54 point defeating the Rams, Cardinals and Texas with the last two at home. The Jaguars will need to sure-up their defense and it help that Trevor Lawrence is more disciplined and controlling the ball. Former NY Jets coach Robert Saleh has been taken on as an advisor for the Packers. That alone is reason to play against them. Take JACKSONVILLE!  

Cincinnati at Colorado 10:15 ET

Bearcats (+) over Buffalo- The  Big-12 revised Big-12 has some unlikely opponents and Cincinnati at Colorado as a conference game seems a bit amusing. I understand the attention that the Buffaloes but don’t get why the Bearcats are not highly regarded. Well, after this outright victory here some will start to notice them. QB Brendan Sorsby  is no  Shedeur Sanders but he has 1,928 passing yards and 13 TD’s. He will do enough to win. Take CINCINNATI!

Auburn at Kentucky 7:45 ET

Tigers (+) over Wildcats- It has been very disappoint for Auburn who seems to be snake bitten by blowing leads late in games. The had dropped four straight and are win-less in the SEC after blowing an 11-point fourth quarter lead to Missouri. Kentucky is all defense ranking No. 12 allowing just 284 yard per game but their offense leaves much to desired as they complete just 54% of their passes and average just 3.9 yards per run. The Tigers are in top 10 averaging 7.0 yard per play and 15 yards per pass completion. Take AUBURN!

Penn State at Wisconsin 7:30 ET

Badgers (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State may be ranked No. 3 but they haven’t played like that, going just 2-4 ATS and being unimpressive the entire season to date. A pair of factors that may affect this match-up is that State had had a week off and that they have Ohio State up next and a look ahead here is very possible. But Wisconsin has to have some respect as the have allow their last three opponents just 7, 3 and 6 points against Purdue, Northwestern and Rutgers. They are not exactly power houses but they are Big Ten players. The Lions have won five straight against the Badgers and 7-of-8 but the Badgers bite here. Take WISCONSIN!

Utah at Houston 7:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Utes- Utah who was choose the conference favorite before the season began has dropped three straight and is looking for a quarterback. They have changed their  offensive play caller this week as they failed to even reach the re zone at home last week against TCU. Houston who has their own QB trouble saw Donovan Smith throw thee interceptions after starter Zeon Chriss was injured. The line is lower then most believe it should be for a reason as the Cougars are 4-0 lifetime against Utah. Take HOUSTON!

BYU at Central Florida 3:30 ET

Knights over Cougars- This get the nod as the ‘Don’t Make Sense ‘Game of the week.’ Here we undefeated BYU leading the conference and ranked No. 11 coming into Florida against a team that is unranked and under .500 at 3-4. But Central Florida although has missed out on wins will be ready as the lead the Big-12 in rushing with 280.3 yards per game. BYU can’t compete with that but what they do have is a defense that has created 16 turnovers. This is the first meetings as member of the Big-12 and the Knights take down the Cougars. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!  

Boise State at Las Vegas Nevada 10:30 ET

Rebels (+) over Broncos- If you use or look at the history of football with these two would come to the conclusion that one team has played and performed at a much higher level. Boise State is playing with virtually the same personnel that destroyed UNLV in the MWC Championship game last December and now have the addition of Ashton Jeanty who is the Heisman favorite averaging 9.9 yards a carry. The Rebels are not the same old club that you are used to seeing on the grid-iron. Coach Barry Odom is 17-6 ATS while at the helm and will have his pack of upstarts ready as underdogs where they are 10-2 ATS. Take UNLV!

Minnesota at LA Rams 8:15 ET

Rams (+) over Vikings- I see this as one of those ‘bam-bam’ games which I will further explain. It seems more often than not when a team has been on an extended winning streak especially to start the season and incur their first loss their karma has changed and their  confidence has been taken down a notch. Not much is expected of the Rams and this always makes a team dangerous and LA is capable in any encounter. LA has one win over rival San Francisco and would love to displace a division leader. Tale LA RAMS!

LA Chargers at Arizona 9:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Chargers- Things are different with the LA Chargers under new head coach Jim Harbaugh as expected but this change has them running the ball more. This of course is what most thought would happen under their new leadership. Quarterback Justin Herbert who is considered one of the better passers in the NFL is averaging just 163 yards passing per game. The Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has been inconsistent his entire career and is off of a poor performance against the Packers but I expect him to rebound here. Take ARIZONA!

Kansas City at San Francisco 4:25 ET

49ers (-) over Chiefs- Ya know I think it could be possible that these two combatants are getting a little tired of facing each other between Super Bowls and now regular season match-ups, but I sure that public loves it. Kansas City has won and covered the last four meetings and six of seven. The 49ers were off to a slow start after getting upset by Arizona but bounced back with a division win over Seattle. But, Kansas City tho undefeated have not really been impressive. Maybe , I am expecting to much of the Chiefs but they should fall short here. Take SAN FRANCISCO!  

Seattle at Atlanta 1:00 ET

Seahawks (+) over Falcons- Seattle opened their season with three straight wins and have followed that with three consecutive losses. Defense has been their biggest liability as they just haven’t been able to stop opponents key drives ranking 27th against the run. On offense aside from two poor performance in-a-row Geno Smith is the passing yardage leader. Atlanta has become the darlings of their division having won their last three but are under a field goal at home...somethin’s up. Take SEATTLE!   

Detroit at Minnesota 1:00 ET

Vikings over Lions- After the way Detroit just destroyed Dallas last Sunday and looked like the Super Bowl bound club most expect. But, now they are facing Minnesota who at 5-0 is the biggest surprise in NFL so far this season. The Vikings are lead by Sam Darnold who was supposed to be a backup for rookie JJ McCarthy but fate had it’s way. He has had a pair of  questionable outings and is looking to return to earlier form against Detroit. Vikings ambush the Lions here. Take MINNESOTA!

Philadelphia at New York Giants 1:00 ET

Giants over Eagles- I really do love this match-up at this time and could be using it as my strongest NFL play of the day. If you have been watching like I have you would have to agree that the Eagles haven’t looked all that good and really haven’t passed the eye test. New York who has just two wins has been in every contest with a chance to actually win the game in the final quarter. The Giants my have less talent but they are better coached and have more moxie...take the NEW YORK GIANTS! 2

Cincinnati at Cleveland 1:00 ET

Browns (+) over Bengals- Can it get any worse for the Cleveland Browns? Many think not! So, if it can’t get any worse then it must get better. DeShaun Watson has fallen into that Tiger Woods aura where once his character was revealed to the public that became exposed and were shatter from the inside out. The Browns will have Nick Chubb in the backfield for the first time since week 2 of the 2023 season. Cincinnati started 0-3 but have won 2-of-3 while the Browns have now lost four in-a-row. The Browns have not quit on the season like many believe as this is their first division game of the season. Take CLEVELAND!

Texas Christian at Utah 10:30 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Utes- The bookies seem to have devalued Utah big time and it is most likely because of the poor showing of seventh year Cam Rising who was horrid upon his return from injury. TCU meanwhile has dropped completely out of sight and mind since their championship experience and they even lost to lowly Houston last week. Oh yeah, how about the Utes...they have dropped their last two against both Arizona schools and are 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Cam Rising’s return has been a major flop and hurt team moral. Take TCU!

Georgia at Texas 7:30 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Longhorns- If we were to judge this contest by what we have seen to date there is little chance that you would select the Bulldogs if you viewed it with an open mind. Georgia opened the season blowing out Clemson 34-3 and have been unimpressive since even getting blown out at Alabama before staging a second half comeback and actually taking the lead late in the fourth quarter only to be beaten a Crimson 17 year-old super star. Texas has been dominate but have not played to the level of competition that Georgia has met. I do believe that the Longhorns are a better squad but the lack big-game experience. Take GEORGIA!  

Iowa at Michigan State 7:30 ET

Spartans (+) over Hawkeyes- This is not the strongest Spartans’ team that we are used to seeing but that doesn’t mean that we can’t make money on them when the time is right. MSU has dropped their last three after opening the year with wins over Maryland, FAU and Prairie View falling at Boston College and to Ohio State and at Oregon. Iowa has won the past two meetings but MSU had won the four previous meetings. Stat wise these two clubs are practically even with a slight edge to he Hawkeyes. But, stats won’t matter here as the Spartans find a way. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

Kansas State at West Virginia 7:30 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Wildcats- I have such a sour taste in my mouth with this West Virginia squad as the two times that I used them as Top-rated releases they fell short against Penn State and Pittsburgh. So it appears that I might stand a chance here as the Wildcats are from nowhere near Pennsylvania. Kansas State enters 5-1 with their loss coming at BYU where they got blown out 38-9. Last week they pull off a late victory at Colorado and have won the past two meetings by 17 points ending a four game WV series winning streak. At home for the second straight week after falling to Iowa State last Saturday the Mountaineers bounce back. Take WEST VIRGINIA!  

LSU at Arkansas 7:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- What I like about this encounter from the home sides point of view is that Arkansas has the confidence needed to take down the Tigers after defeating Tennessee two weeks ago. What I don’t like about it is that the Razorbacks have had two weeks to pat themselves on the back and develop swelled heads. LSU has won five straight since their opening game loss to USC and they have covered the last two. The Hogs are 5-1 ATS with SU losses the at Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Sweat Hogs own an edge in all  defensive and offensive departments. Take ARKANSAS!

Alabama at Tennessee 3:30 ET

Volunteers (+) over Crimson Tide- To start with I am a bit taken back by Alabama coming out the favorite here because it was just a few short weeks ago the Volunteers were on track to the upper status before falling at Arkansas. But, that was not as bad as the Tide’s loss at Vanderbilt and a narrow escape against South Carolina. The Vols have the No. 4 defense in total yards allowed with 249.8 YPG and their offense is ranked No. 10 with 483 YPG and yet they are an underdog at home. If it wasn’t for the ‘public’s reaction to this match-up I would lay it...but I can’t. Take TENNESSEE!

Florida State at Duke 7:00 ET

Seminoles (+) over Blue Devils- At 1-5 Florida State has been trying to rebound from losses all season while this reverse of fortunes has Duke at 5-1 and coming off their first loss. The Blue Devils have had two weeks to lick their wounds after a bye last week. But, sometimes that is too much time to dwell on what when wrong or what else could we have done, and confidence wanes. Florida State is undefeated lifetime against the Devils who they have defeated in all 22 meetings including 8-0-1 ATS in the last nine. The beat goes on...take FLORIDA STATE!

Denver at New Orleans 8:15 ET

Saints over Broncos - With the level of play from the quarterbacks from both of these clubs the storyline has become the return to New Orleans as Sean Payton the Saints former coach for 15 years with nine playoff appearances. Bo Nix the highly touted No. 1 draft pick has struggled to the point that he is ranked 34th among passers and that is not easy considering there are only 32 different teams. Sixth round draft pick rookie Spencer Rattler get the start for the Saints and he will surprise you here. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Boston College at Virginia Tech 7:30 ET

Hokies (-) over Eagles- Virginia Tech got right and even at 3-3 with a convincing win over ACC newcomer Stanford 12 days ago and is excited to be playing before a National TV audience. Boston College was handed their 2nd loss at Virginia last Saturday as the Cavaliers shutout the Eagles 24-0 in the second half. Tech has won the last two meetings and 3-of-4 with BC last winning in Blacksburg in 2018 when they were small favorites. The visitor has a better record at 4-2 then Va Tech 3-3 and has a few quality wins under Bill O’Brien so I question as to why the line is so high. It’s Tech-time..take VIRGINIA TECH!

Buffalo at New York Jets 8:15 ET

Jets (+) over Bills- New York made a coaching change six days ago and most believe that Aaron Rodgers has something to do with it and he denies he had any input in the decision. The move makes no sense as the Jets kept the offensive coordinator Hackett and yet removed his play calling responsibilities. Buffalo has dropped their last two games and Josh Allen is off of his worst career performance against Houston. The Bills have won six of he past eight meetings but it was New York that prevailed on a Monday night last season opening the season with Wilson taking Rodgers place after his injury three plays into the season. Take NEW YORK JETS!

Cincinnati at New York Giants 8:20 ET

Giants (+) over Bengals- The Bengals bungled my chance of an undefeated NFL Megabucks season (highly unlikely) by doing whatever it took to blow a game that they had in hand numerous times only to make stupid costly errors for both coaches to players. The Giants have been a surprise with a pair of wins and three losses by 3-points in every defeat, Jones has moved passed and opening week nightmare against Minnesota and he Giants even without rookie sensation Nabers are getting it done. Take NEW YORK GIANTS!  

Atlanta at Carolina 4:25 ET

Panthers (+) over Falcons- There are not too many People that have much faith in Carolina but the truth is that they have played much better with Andy Dalton at QB running the show then opposed to Bryce ‘No Chance’ Young. Atlanta is becoming the favorite in the NFC South and are off of wins against division rivals Tampa Bay and New Orleans. Now, the dregs of the four, the Panthers will growl, snarl and catch the ’Bird-birds’ at the right time because it is a division battle. Take CAROLINA!

Detroit at Dallas 4:25 ET

Cowboys (+) over Lions- No one really know or believe s that Dallas has fixed their issues just because they won two NFL games at New York and at Pittsburgh. They were not very  impressive against the Giants and exposed some kinks on the Steelers armor. Cowboys dense is in fat hurting but this is professional football one man goes down and another man steps up. Line seems short considering the Lions offense. Take DALLAS!

 Pittsburgh at Las Vegas 4:05 ET

Raiders (+) over Steelers- Las Vegas has made a move and no they are not going back to Oakland or Los Angeles or San Diego they are moving off of Gardner Minchew at quarterback and onto Aidan O’Connell. He showed promise while at Purdue but has not yet done much of note starting 10 games last season and this is his first start of 2024. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce is already starting to hear rumblings from the media and the locker room as well. Many are starting to question his in-game decision making and believe that he is not up to the job. None the less they will rally as a group before this whole thing implodes. Tomlin’s not happy with Fields and is looking to make a move to Wilson but like Mike Trout there always seems to be something wrong. Take LAS VEGAS! 

Washington at Baltimore 1:00 ET

Ravens (-) over Commandos- I know I’ve been watching and the kid is great I am sure of that and I do not believe that he is a ‘flash-in-the-pan’ (a turn I first hear of Willie McCovey is sophomore season). Anyway, Jaydan Daniels forerunner is starting at QB for Baltimore and Lamar Jackson is second in NFL rushing only to teammate Derrick Henry. Although Daniels has been setting records and winning games but, Jackson’s numbers are the most productive in all of football. The up-starts get their comeuppance Sunday. Take BALTIMORE!

Jacksonville versus Chicago 12:30 ET

Jaguars (+) over Bears- Okay, we’ll give it another shot with early games being played abroad after being let-down by the Jets last week. My question to you is have you seen the difference between the way the Bears have played and the way Jacksonville has performed. I know you have and so have I that is why it is difficult to understand why Chicago is such a small favorite after what we have witnessed. The Jaguars posted their first win of the season last week taking down the Colts 37-34 kicking the game winning field goal with :17 left. They liked the taste of victory...this time they won’t wait so long...take JACKSONVILLE!

Minnesota at UCLA 9:00 ET

Bruins (+) over Golden Gophers- What do you suppose is going to happen when a bear, a Bruin gets a gopher in it’s sights. Well, it usually ends up a bad day for the Golden Gopher as it will today. UCLA hasn’t won much but they fight and scrap with no quit and are improving each time out. Minnesota remained in California after their upset win over USC (Power Play winner) and the sun shine did wonders for their tan but the Baby bears are hungry and this rodent will pay. Take UCLA!

Ohio State at Oregon 7:00 ET

Ducks (+) over Buckeyes- A pair of perfect 5-0 clubs clash in what the newly formed conference wanted, a Rose Bowl match-up during the season. Gone is the must win urgency that once prevailed in a game with the No. 2 and No. 3 teams battling. But, now with 12 teams being selected for the NCAAF playoffs two and even three losses can get you in. Buckeyes stats are hard to ignore and I am sure the Ducks have viewed enough film to make it difficult for them to have their way. Take OREGON!

Washington State at Fresno State 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Cougars- Two weeks ago the last time two either of these teams played we won by fading them both as Washington State was blown out by Boise State and Fresno State was blown out by UNLV. They both have had two weeks to prepare and that where I believe the Bulldogs have the edge and playing at home is huge.Take FRESNO STATE!

Arizona at BYU 4:00 ET

Wildcats (-) over Cougars- There are not many at least I believe that thought that BYU would be undefeated (5-0) at this point. Last Saturday we play against Arizona with Texas Tech as our ‘Double-down/Bail out release) and they won outright. This week the Wildcats set their sights on a Cougars’ squad that has far exceeded expectations winning three times outright as underdogs. Take ARIZONA!

Penn State at USC 7:30 ET

Trojans (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State may be 5-0 but the odds makers have over-valued them from the git-go. The Lions have underachieved beating up on the little guy and struggling to get to the number against even mediocre competition. USC was caught in a look ahead last week and were defeated by Minnesota 24-17 in a game that was dead even. The Trojans may not be good enough to break into the Top-12 but they can rise here. Take USC

Utah at Arizona State 10:30 ET

Utes (-) over Sun Devils- Upstart Arizona State has shocked the odds makers and betting public alike posting four wins in their five games already more than last season. Utah has been playing without seventh-year red-shirt (freshman?) quarterback Cameron Rising since he was injured in the second quarter of their opening game against Baylor. Arizona State will use their powerful running game with Cam Shattebo who averages 5.5 yard a carry. The Utes have won and covered the last four meetings and are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meets. The Utes have had two week to lick their wounds after being upset by Arizona 23-10. With a fresh attitude and their veteran quarterback returning the Utes roll. Take UTAH!

San Francisco at Seattle 8:15 ET

Seahawks (+) over 49ers- Both of these clubs are coming of unexpected losses and how they respond here could direct the path they end up on. Seattle fell to the Giants 29-20 at home after opening the season with three straight wins over Denver, Miami and New England and and lost to Detroit and NYG. San Francisco has dropped 3-of-4 blowing a pair of fourth quarter lads to Arizona and the LA Rams. Without Christen McCaffrey they lack the explosiveness needed to go along with Samuel. Seahawks has lost five straight to the Niners

this time the Sea-birds fly...take SEATTLE

New Orleans at Kansas City 8:15 ET

Chiefs (-) ove Saints- I keep hearing bad things about Kansas City...things like Travis Kelce is distracted and isn’t the same, that their top speed receiver is out and they don’t have the offensive capabilities as before. Yeah maybe! In the meantime New Orleans opened the season 2-0 with convincing wins over the Panthers and Cowboys scoring 91 points and since then have averaged 18 points losing against the Eagles and Falcons. I am sorry but I just can not back Carr in a game head-to-head with Patrick Mahomes. Take KANSAS CITY!

Las Vegas at Denver 4:05 ET

Raiders (+) over Broncos- I can’t help it! Although I believe Denver quarterback Bo Nix has a wonderful future in professional football but I think the odds makers have taken it a bit too far. Yes he led the Broncos to a road win in New York against the Jets but that victory had nothing to do with him as he threw for 60 yards going 12 of 25. The Raiders have had a long history of dominating the Broncos and their defense is good enough to fix Nix. Take LAS VEGAS!

Buffalo at Houston 1:00 ET

Texans over Bills- The storyline here seems to be centered around Stefon Diggs who made his bones while catching passes from tonight’s visitor from Buffalo Josh Allen. As we all understand the parting wasn’t so sweet as Diggs had cause issues with the Bills throughout his career. But Diggs shouldn’t be the Bills only focus as Nico Collins will kill you and the Buffalo’s defense will also be without Von Miller. Take HOUSTON!  3

Miami at New England 1:00 ET

Dolphins over Patriots- I guess that settles it...Tua Tagovailoa gets my vote for MVP. It is so obvious look what has happened to the Dolphins without him. They have where they are stating helpless and are at the point where they haven’t held a lead having won their first game on a field goal to end the game 20-17 against Jacksonville. Now they come to New England and are installed as favorites. Both clubs on three game losing streaks.I guess Tyler Huntley has a job and his defense bails him out. Take  MIAMI!  

Cleveland at Washington 1:00 ET

Browns (+) over Commies- Interesting battle of quarterbacks as the new mimics the old Jayden Daniels who has entered the NFL on a rookie record pace. Washington has won three straight as Daniels has emerged as a dynamic force setting a number of rookie records.  A few seasons ago it was DeShaun Watson that was turning heads and producing like a future ‘Hall of Fame’ member, but things change. He has not been anything close to the player he once was and his numbers show it and I was always happy to root against him but now I feel a bit sorry for him. The Cleveland offensive line gives him virtually no chance and he way too often tries to force plays. The Browns return two lineman this week and DeShaun flashes...take CLEVELAND!

Baltimore at Cincinnati 1:00 ET

Bengals (+) over Ravens- There are so many reasons to stay away Cincinnati here and so many more as to why we should be on the Ravens. We had a Sunday night winner with Baltimore and they were totally impressive performance. They lead the league in rushing had have a ‘live’ Henry to complement Jackson. What Cincinnati has a great QB and WR combo that can keep them and a pair of offensive lineman returning. Ugliest play on the board! Take CINCINNATI!

New York Jets vs. Minnesota 9:30 AM ET

Jets (+) over Vikings- Guys and gals win or lose I ‘love’ this play and I really hate to say that but I really do. Minnesota is off to a surprising 4-0 both SU and ATS because for the most part it was believed a rookie from Michigan was to get some OJT but up steps former Number One draft pick of the New York Jets Sam Darnold and he’s up against a sure Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers that has yet to have great performance as a Jets and he’s off last week’s touchdown-less loss against Denver. The Jets have much to do and it starts here. Take the NEW YORK JETS!

Texas Tech at Arizona 11:00 ET

Red Raiders (+) over Wildcats- Arizona is coming off their biggest win of the season defeating at No.10 Utah and now return home to face a new conference rival. Texas Tech is led by Tahj Brooks and will look to control the ball as much as possible. Over the years the d Raiders have had the best of their renewed rivalry and have won 26 of 33 meetings wit two tie. Although Tech has struggle on the road 3-9 SU the Wildcats should still be gloating over their win against the Utes. Take TEXAS TECH!

Tennessee at Arkansas 7:30 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Volunteers- We will know after this encounter is Tennessee is for real. Not that Arkansas is to be accessed a great club but this is a conference game and it’s tough to win on the SEC road anytime. The Razorbacks bring more to the table than any of the other that have succumbed to the Volunteers. Against Chattanooga they scored 69, against Kent 71 and against weak NC State club they scored 51. Not tonight...take ARKANSAS!
