Buffalo at Tennessee 7:00 ET

Titans (+) over Bills- A pair of undefeated AFC clubs finally meet after COVID test requirements were met. Tennessee has had 23 players or staff test positive affecting their two top receivers Cory Davis and Adam Humphries. Buffalo off a 30-23 win against the Raiders in Las Vegas and is 4-0 with a 2-game division lead. The Titans are 0-3 ATS having won by a grand total of six points winning by 1, 2 and 3 points against the Jaguars, Broncos and Vikings a combined 2-10. The Bills have put it together of late and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as favorites and 8-2-2 ATS in their last 12 road games but just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five overall. The Titans versus AFC are 7-2-1 last 10 but just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and 0-4 ATS in their last four overall. The underdogs is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take TENNESSEE!

L.A. Chargers at New Orleans 8:15 ET

Saints (-) over Chargers- It looks like another season where the Chargers (1-3) will play better than their record would indicate (3-1 ATS) as they seem to show so much promise and potential. L.A's Justin Herbert has shown that he can play and he's getting weekly lessons from NFL quarterback legends Tom Brady last week and Drew Brees this week both on the road. Herbert doesn't have to deal with hostile home crowds and that has aided his ability to function less like a rookie. New Orleans has had some injury issues particularly to Michael Thomas who returned the practice this week while the Chargers had four starters sit out practice this week including Joey Bosa. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Minnesota at Seattle 8:20 ET

Vikings (+) over Seahawks- One question will be answered tonight and that is whether the Seahawks (4-0) are as good as they have looked and is Minnesota (1-3) as weak as they appear. The Vikings finally posted their first win last week over the confused Texans 31-23 a win that was very fortunate to say the least. Getting past Russell Wilson is something I have spoken about before and this season he's better than ever with 16 TD passes in four games. Seattle who are without a pair of defensive starters and have ruled out four others for Sunday. Let find out 'How we like hime now'...and Kirk Cousins has a decent day. Take MINNESOTA!

Indianapolis at Cleveland 4:25 ET

Colts over Browns- This game caught my eye immediately with the Colts being favored in Cleveland with the Browns after an opening week road loss are on a three-game winning streak and totally dominated the Cowboys in Dallas (Money Game winner) last Sunday. Indianapolis's defense is ranked No. 1 but what I hear is that they haven't faced anybody, just four NFL teams. The Browns offense has been spirited by its running game as Baker Mayfield had a 60.8 QB rating as they team scored 49 points,. It won't be the same this week because the Cowgirls defense stinks and Indy's doesn't. Take the COLTS!

Miami at San Francisco 4:05 ET

49er's (-) over Dolphins- From what I have seen out of these two teams this line looks a bit too inviting. I understand Miami is only 1-3 but they have been very competitive going 2-2 ATS as have the Niners. San Francisco will welcome the return of QB Jimmy Grappolo and RB Raheem Mostert who have out the past two games. Playing together will be a work in progress and the Dolphins are their victim as the Niners respond after their home loss to Philadelphia Sunday night (Double-Down winner). Take SAN FRANCISCO!

Philadelphia at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET

Eagles (+) over Steelers- Soar Eagles Soar that refrain was sung loud and clear last Sunday night as Philadelphia up ended the 49ers in San Francisco (Double-Down winner). Pittsburgh meanwhile had an unscheduled bye missing out on Tennessee and have division games with Cleveland and Baltimore back-to-back. In the past three seasons the Steelers are 15-22 ATS as favorites and the Eagles are 13-8 as underdogs in the same span. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Arizona at New York Jets 1:00 ET

Jets (+) over Cardinals- I know...how could I? Well, 'we' did have the Giants as a Vegas Hotline winner last week and this week it is the Jets turn. Maybe combined they could go 0-32 SU but somewhere even by accident they might cover the number. But, New York will be starting Joe Flacco at QB the Jets are 0-6 with out Sam Darnold at QB but, Le'Von Bell is scheduled to return to action and he will help relieve some of the pressure on the QB. Are the jets as bad as they look or can they turn it around like in the second half of the 2019 season. A New York player tested a false-positive COVID test Friday but all is well while Arizona is thinking about staying away. Either way the Cardinals will be distracted and the hapless Jets will fly over the birds. Take the NEW YORK J-E-T-S!

Cincinnati at Baltimore 1:00 ET

Ravens (-) over Bengals- This is where it happens, where Joe Burrow gets his NFL comeuppance as he faces one of the league's best defenses. Cincinnati's No. 1 overall pick has three straight 300-yard games passing for the 1-2-1 Bengals but it's the run game that will betray him. Baltimore allows just 97.5 rushing yards and that including the KC beating. The Bengals are 10-3 ATS as road dogs and the underdog is 9-3 last 12 meetings. But, the are Ravens 9-2 ATS vs the AFC 4-12 ATS last 16 as home favorites. Those trends sort of wash out with a slight advantage to the 'Cats' but Baltimore is in need of a good performance after losing to the Chiefs and sleep-walking through last weeks win over Washington. Take the RAVENS!

Miami-Fl at Clemson 7:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Hurricanes- Doesn't Miami look inviting, I mean they are 3-0 both SU and ATS and have an exciting new offense lead by transfer E'Rick King. Clemson 3-0 SU is 0-3 ATS and just keeps plodding along and of course they understand that this is their first major challenge of the season. The Hurricanes are 2-0 in ACC action as are the Tigers who are 5-2 ATS in the last six meetings in including 18-8 ATS in their last 26 as home favorites. They have also won the last two meetings by a combined score of 96-3 (Yep, that's right)! Hurricanes get blown away...take CLEMSON!

Temple at Navy 6:00 ET

Midshipmen (+) over Owls- A pair of clubs that I love to win with are facing off in Annapolis with the Navy having a decided advantage. No, not necessarily in talent but in game experience and I game experience this season as Navy (1-2) is playing their fourth game while this will be Temple's season opener. I just saw this same scenario play out with Tulane and Houston but I expect different results. Navy has missed 2,000-yard rusher Malcolm Perry and played with QB Dalen Morris out last week they lost 40-7 to Air Force but he returns this week and so will 14,000 Midshipman that will be attending the game. Take NAVY!

Kansas State at Texas Christian 7:00 ET

Horned Frogs (-) over Wildcats- It appears Kansas State made a brilliant hiring Chris Klieman from North Dakota State where he was 69-6 in five seasons and led the Wildcats to eight wins and a bowl berth in his first season. He is 2-0 over Oklahoma as K. State scored 4-straight touchdowns to defeat the Sooners 38-35 and last week they come from behind scoring a pair of fourth quarter TD's and defeated Texas Tech 31-21. TCU is 1-1 having defeated Texas 33-31 in Austin and the win was no fluke as out-gained the Longhorns by about a 100 yards including a 75-yard rushing advantage. Takin a close look at the Wildcats upsets you can see they were out-gained both the Sooners and Red Raiders. Considering Kansas State is 6-1 ATS in their last seven as road underdogs this is a powerful line as TCU is just 6-21 ATS in their last 27 as home favorites. So why is this line so ridiculous other than the fact the Wildcats will be starting true freshman Will Howard. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Texas Tech at Iowa State 3:00 ET

Cyclones (-) over Red Raiders- This is the game that will tell us if Iowa State is for real as they come off an upset of Oklahoma and now are double digit favorites against Texas Tech after defeating the Sooners for the first time at home in Ames in 60 years and 20 straight games. Iowa State has the Big-12 leading rusher in Breece Hall and the winningest quarterback in Cyclone history in Brock Purdy who has a win over all Big-12 opponents. Just an opening week shocker when State lost to La Tech will keep the public away and the price is another factor but in may not matter as the Red Raiders are at the bottom of the conference food chain. Number is high and probably for good reason. Take IOWA STATE!

Duke at Syracuse 12:30 ET

Blue Devils over Orange- Let's take a step back and see what we have here. What I see is a 0-4 team Duke favored on the road and have been outscored 129-70 and lead the nation in turnovers with 15. What makes this 'price' even more intriguing is the fact that the Orange went into Durham last season and throttled Blue Devils 49-6. I guess the number reflects the difference in quarterbacking although Chase Brice has seven interceptions and he is still heads above Tommy DeVito. This falls into the odds-maker knows more than 'you' category. Duke who play on natural grass at home are 15-2 ATS in their last `17 games on field-turf. Syracuse is 0-4 ATS in their last four after a SU win. Take DUKE!

Florida at Texas A&M 12:00 ET

Aggies (+) over Gators- Listen, I am a Gator fan all the way back to their Steve Spurrier days and I don't mean as a coach but when he was at quarterback. So understand, when I play against them that I have plenty of confidence and this one is really 'special'...special enough that I have used it as my SEC Game of the Month! To tell the truth I will be 'shocked' if A&M doesn't win this game on the field. The Gators will certainly be looking ahead to next week when they play LSU. The Aggies found out what it's like to be up against the 'Big Boys' (Alabama last week) and will last longer ready to win this game 'outright' and much less 'cover. If TEXAS A&M doesn't get the money here I will be honestly be shocked! Take the AGGIES!

Louisville at Georgia Tech 7:10 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Cardinals- To start with this is not going to be a meeting of top quality teams as both are in rebuilding mode. Inexperience and inconsistency has plagued both quarterbacks as the Cardinals Louisville Malik Cunningham (no relation to Richie) has had seven TD passes with five interceptions and Tech's true freshman QB Jeff Sims who has three TD passes with eight picks. Not so good, but he has two excellent running backs and the jackets know how to run the ball (even without Johnson). The Cardinals are just 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 road games and they lost their lone meeting against the Engineers 66-31 in 2018 at Louisville. Take GEORGIA TECH!

Tampa Bay at Chicago 8:20 ET

Bears (+) over Buccaneers- Tampa Bay is brimming with confidence as well they should be after their come from behind victory over the Chargers storming back behind five Tom Brady TD passes. Brady has attained 'God-like' status among guys that have only known losing...Bucs are 3-1 after an opening week loss and are No. 8 in scoring offense at 30.0 points per and their defense is just about the middle of the Pack at No. 16. The Bears play a stout defense that is ranked No. 8 and their offense should get a boost with Nick Foles being named starter. To a man the Bears have known Foles should be the starter as Chicago finally admits failure in their Trubinsky 'project.' The Bears are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 as home dogs and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings Take CHICAGO!

Tulane at Houston 7:30 ET

Green Wave (+) over Cougars- Talk about being a brides-maid the Houston Cougars have been left holding the bag five time this season because of COVID and this should be their season opener. Tulane who is 2-1 had their opener cancelled and had an opening date last week. Houston has had issues since the last meeting a 38-31 Tulane victory as they lost the QB D'Eriq King who went red-shirt after the loss. That loss dropped the Cougars to 1-3 on their way to 4-8 season. Houston has dominated this series but most of it is past history going 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings but they are 3-8 ATS against teams with winning records and this is their opener while the Wave have three games under their belt and that is a huge advantage. Take TULANE!

Atlanta at Green Bay 5:15 ET

Falcons (+) over Packers- Why is Dan Quinn still coaching the Atlanta Falcons? Is it because he once got this team to the Super Bowl or does he have Jeffery Epstein type of video of the Falcons brass? It has to be something we are not aware of because since he blew a 28-3 second half lead to the Patriots in the Super Bowl his teams continue to fail with basic fundamentals. I'm wondering what Atlanta who rank 31st of 32 teams on defense can do to stop Aaron Rogers who's offense is ranked No. 2. In order to support the Falcons I have found some trends that might help. How about this Atlanta is 5-1 ATS in their six meetings at Green Bay and they road team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings plus they are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games. If you want to hear something about the Packers, well they bare 5-1 ATS in their last six as home favorites...Good luck. Take ATLANTA!

New England at Kansas City 7:05 ET

Patriots (+) over Chiefs- So what do we do here? Cam Newton is sidelined and the Patriots and Bill Belichick will go with Brian Hoyer who has never been impressive even at the College level. I don't know if the trends regarding New England have any value with Brady gone but Belichick still remains and the road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. With or without Newton playing for the Pats KC is 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight home games and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall. It really shouldn't make much difference who runs the Patriots offense as we have seen through the year's QB who won as Brady's replacement. Remember San Cassell or Jimmy 'Crappolo' who performed well as a Belichick back-up although were disappointing in other places. Take NEW ENGLAND!

Philadelphia at San Francisco 8:20 ET

Eagles (+) over 49ers- How bad can the 0-3 Eagles actually be? If we start with their quarterbacking it is noted that Carson Wentz has the lowest QB rating (63.9) of any starting NFL QB. He has thrown six interceptions with just one TD pass and has been sacked 11 times. San Fran is without a number of starters including Jimmy 'Crappolo' who is being replaced by NickMullins who had a wonderful time against the Giants last week winning 36-9. The Niners have two wins over the Jets (0-4) and Giants (0-3) but are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight meetings with Philly and just 7-19-1 ATS as home favorites. Take PHILADELPHIA!

New York Giants at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET

Giants (+) over Rams- This could be a long day if the 'new' Rams show up and the usual Giants. The last time I saw these two foes facing each other in New York the Giants defenders didn't face anybody as they actually ram away from receivers after they caught the ball (honest) and the Rams crushed 51-17. But as bad as New York is and has been they are actually 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games and 4-1 ATS following a ATS loss and believe it or not the are Giants 8-1 ATS over LA in the last nine meetings. Take NEW YORK GIANTS!

Seattle at Miami 1:00 ET

Dolphins (+) over Seahawks- I don't mean to laugh because so many of those I know took the Cowboys last week against Seattle and were burned once again by late heroics by Russell Wilson who threw five more TD's giving him 14 in just three games. Now, Wilson travels East to play in Miami and he breaks that west to east crap as he is 8-0 SU and ATS in the ET zone. Now, that's been great for the Seahawks but their defense has allowed 1,292 yards passing more than any other team in the NFL. Miami meanwhile posted their first double-digit win in 39 games defeating Jacksonville 31-13 on last Thursday night, that gives the Dolphins four extra days and they will be healthy. Like I said before and the reason I stayed away from taking Dallas last week is that it is so hard getting past Russell Wilson as they are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 road games and 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven as favorites. But, Seattle is only 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Dolphins and the Dolphins are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games and 4-1 ATS in their last five as dogs. Take MIAMI!

Cleveland at Dallas 1:00 ET

Browns (+) over Cowboys- 'There's something rotten in Denmark'...either this is the biggest sucker play of the season or the Cowboys get beat outright. Really, honestly...the bookmaker makes Dallas a meager 4.5-point favorites against one of the worst ATS teams in NFL history who are 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games including their 38-6 blowout loss at Baltimore where they failed to score a touchdown. So bad have the Browns been that they are 17-39-1 ATS in their last 57 games as underdogs. But hey, the Cowboys have been money burner and well as they are 4-9 ATS at home as favorites and 2-8 ATS against teams with winning records. It's all about this 'price' way to inviting. Take CLEVELAND!

Arizona at Carolina 1:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Cardinals- Carolina ended a franchise 10-game losing streak by taking down the Chargers last week led by QB Teddy Bridgewater who provided Matt Ruhle with his first NFL victory. The Panthers won despite settling for five field goals in the red zone. Arizona was upended by Detroit at home and their defensive weakness was exposed especially because injuries have depleted the Safety position as their two starter didn't practice Wednesday. Ruhle has made adjustments on offense as this is the first home game for the Panthers without running back Christian McCaffrey and has opened his offense with a group of young playmakers. Take CAROLINA.

New Orleans at Detroit 1:00 ET

Lions (+) over Saints- People are speaking how Tom Brady has lost some zip on the ball and most haven't noticed that Drew Brees has lost more velocity on his throws. New Orleans has other concerns as well with four starters having missed practice on Wednesday and their playing status is up in the air. Detroit is coming off their first win a 26-23 victory at Arizona aided by newly acquired running back Adrian Peterson who averaged 4.9 yards a carry. The Saints are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings, 4-1 ATS as road favorites and 11-4 ATS overall. The Lions really have little to brag about as they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as home underdogs and 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall. That all is ready to change. Take DETROIT!

Auburn at Georgia 7:30 ET

Bulldogs (-) over Tigers- Love the match-up and believe this is my strongest release of the college football season. It's being said that Georgia's quarterback position is not settled while Auburn is fixed with Bo Nix last year's SEC Freshman of the Year. (He's Over-rated!) The Bulldogs who are known for their ground game totaled just 121 yards at 2.9 per attempt but held Arkansas to 280 total yards in their (-27.5) 37-10 win. Georgia has won the last six meetings 6-0 SU and 6-0 ATS at home and are 13-3 ATS after a ATS loss and they are 17-8 ATS against teams with winning records. The Tigers may be 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall but one of those losses was to the Bulldogs last season and finally the favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take GEORGIA!

Oklahoma at Iowa State 7:30 ET

Cyclones (+) over Sooners- In another time and another season when things could be different last weeks upset of Oklahoma by Kansas State (+28.5) 38-35 would be one for the ages. The Sooners blew two 21-point leads and now must run the table to have a shot at the final four. Oklahoma has won 20 of the last 21 meetings SU and 24 consecutive games in Ames. Iowa State was also upset as a heavy favorite laying -14 and losing outright 31-13 to Louisiana-Lafayette in their opener and came back to win SU last week as a beaten-favorite (-3.5) winning 37-34 despite giving up over 500 yards and 27 FD's while getting just 14. I now see the problem with this game is that I am trying to make a case for the Cyclone and that's not easy. So, I'll do my best. OU is 4-12 ATS after allowing less than 100 yards rushing ( How bout that one...a nugget) and 2-6 ATS as favorites 2-7 ATS against teams with losing records. I got more as Iowa State is 5-1 ATS in their last six as a home underdog and 4-0 ATS against the Sooners in the last four meetings and finally they are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 as an underdog. We have one thing going for 'us' the public and even sharps and wiseguys are 'on' the Sooners. Take IOWA STATE!

Virginia Tech at Duke 4:00 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Hokies- How about this? Virginia Tech opened the season ranked in the Top-20, they played and won their first game with 23 players and four coaches out due to positive COVID-19 test results and they went out and defeated NC State 45-24. their reward was getting dropped in the rankings...go figure. The Blue Devils have been a turnover machine to the point that they should be called 'Red' Devils because the put themselves in a hole that they can not recover from. Duke although having slippery hands so far this season is 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 home games as underdogs and the underdog is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take DUKE!

Texas A&M at Alabama 3:30 ET

Aggies (+) over Crimson Tide- These ranked SEC teams are already 1-0 in Conference but getting there using different paths. Alabama jumped out to an early lead against Missouri 38-3 before calling off the dogs with their ATS loss 38-19 but SU win, while A&M struggled from start to finish defeating lowly Vanderbilt 17-12. The Tide have dominated the series winning seven straight since the Aggies last win when Johnny Manziel preformed his heroics. Texas A&M seems to respond after poor offensive showings going 10-2 ATS after scoring less than 20 points. Some stats on Alabama as they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 SEC games and are 4-9 ATS after a SU win as well as 1-6 ATS at home against a team with a winning road record. Take TEXAS A&M!

North Carolina at Boston College 3:30 ET

Eagles (+) over Tar Heels- We opened with a win with North Carolina (-24.5) 31-6 over Syracuse in a game they led 10-6 entering the fourth quarter and tallied three TD's for final margin. Since that impressive win Carolina has had three weeks to cool their heels and that's probably what has happened. Boston College is 2-0 and 1-1 ATS defeating Duke getting five turnovers and sneaking by Texas State 24-21 as a 21.5-point favorite with a 36-yard field goal with :03 seconds left. The Tar Heels are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as favorites and 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Under-rated Boston College has some impressive trends that can't be over-looked. They are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 as underdogs including 4-1 ATS in their last five as home dog they are also 19-6-1 ATS in ACC play and finally they are 18-7-1 ATS after an ATS win. Take BOSTON COLLEGE!

Denver at New York Jets 8:20 ET

Jets (+) over Broncos- Both these AFC clubs are 0-3 SU with Denver at least 2-1 ATS while the Jets are 0-3 ATS and has been outscored 94-37 in their first three games getting destroyed by the Colts 36-7 on Sunday and the New York media is calling for Adam Gase's head. It was gotten so bad that NYC's Mayor not only wanted to ban fans from going to the Stadium but he wanted to ban all players from entering ass well. Maybe that's a stretch the point is the Jets have been terrible and did start 0-4 last season before turning it around and winning six of their last eight. They need to suck it up and what be better than another hurting team. Gase inherited Sam Darnold and that might cuz his demise as he has threw a pick-six on his first toss. Denver will start give QB Brett Rypien his first career start and even if he is up against the Jets it is a difficult task for a first-timer. Take NEW YORK J-E-T-S!

Kansas City at Baltimore 8:15 ET

Ravens (-) over Chiefs- The two best AFC clubs clash on this Monday night and the quarterback matchup is intriguing with Pat Mahomes arm and Lamar Jackson's legs. Baltimore who has lost the last two meetings by a total of eight points including a 33-28 win in Week 3 last season is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 versus the AFC. Kansas City as Super Bowl Champs has so trend support as well going 9-1-1 ATS as road underdogs and 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games overall. The Ravens have the NFL's best five takeaways in two games against the Browns and Texans and have won 14 consecutive regular season games. In what should be a good one the edge here goes to the home team with revenge. Take BALTIMORE!

Green Bay at New Orleans 8:20 ET

Saints (-) over Packers- What a great match-up of future Hall of Fame quarterbacks and perfect for the NFL Sunday Night showcase. Green Bay 2-0 of course will have Aaron Rogers leading the way shouting, 'Did you really draft a quarterback in the first round'. He as 604 yards passing with six TD's and zero Ints. Drew Brees the NFL's All-time leading passer is starting to show his age as 64.7 percent completion rate will attest. Brees and the Saints 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and New Orleans is 27-13-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take the SAINTS!

Detroit at Arizona 4:25 ET

Lions (+) over Cardinals- yep, 'we' got'em...the Detroit Lions and they are truly ugly while the Cardinals look so pretty at 2-0. Arizona's next three opponents have yet to win a game (0-6) and the Lions are dealing with other personal issues (always among losers). The Red Birds have committed a league high 20 penalties. When looking for positive points to support my selection of the Lions one of the best things I can say is that the underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Arizona who have caught the public's eye are just 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games as home favorites. Take DETROIT!

Tennessee at Minnesota 1:00 ET

Vikings (-) over Titans- 'How do you like me now' is struggling a bit and the 0-2 Vikings as Kirk Cousins QB rating sits at 15.9 as he has been sacked for a safety in each of this seasons games. Tennessee (2-0) is rolling behind Ryan Tannehill who had four TD passes and zero interceptions in last weeks 33-30 win over Jacksonville. But, the Titans don't seem to get 'up' teams with losing records as they are 7-18-1 ATS on the road against teams below .500. Minnesota on the flip side is 17-5-1 ATS as a home underdog and are 37-17-1 ATS in their last 55 home games. Take MINNESOTA!

Houston at Pittsburgh 1:00 ET

Texans (+) over Steelers- Ha! They are doing it to me again. Setting up a situation where I can't help but be on the Texans (0-2) and Bill O'Brien last meeting 34-6 Christmas Day 3-years ago Pittsburgh is 8th in defensive yards allowed but have been up against a pair of pushovers in the Giants and Broncos. Houston is ranked 22nd on offense but have been up against the AFC's best in Kansas City ands Baltimore. Texans 8-1 ATS after a double-digit home loss. And 10-3-1 ATS after an ATS loss. Pittsburgh 2-6 ATS as home favorites but 4-1 ATS in last five meetings. Still, it is HOUSTON!

Chicago at Atlanta 1:00 ET

Bears (+) over Falcons- What a choice...two clubs that have been major disappointments to their backers. Chicago took a 17-0 halftime lead over the Giants only to go scoreless in the 2nd half and fell against the points with a late New York back-door cover TD. Atlanta QB Matt Ryan has been great with a 109.6 passer rating throwing for six tD's and 723 yards with one INT. The problem fore the Falcons is that Dan Quinn know more about losing than about winning as they are 207 ATS in their last games at home when favored. Chicago has had their way against Atlanta going 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take CHICAGO!

Florida State at Miami-Fl 7:30 ET

Seminoles (+) over Hurricanes- Oh boy, I don't want to get too over-board on this one. Having used Maim as out Megabucks winner over Louisville last week and watching Florida State blow a 10-point lead I though that this would be great opponent for them as this is one of the bigger rivalry game of the southeast. Miami under Manny Diaz is looking to re-established their tarnished football reputation and are clicking with transfer QG D'Eriq King from Houston my be the answer but the Seminoles would like to a part of the conversation. Like the Hurricanes Florida State has left much to be desired moving from to Mike Norvell who the players have already had a protest about. So bad for FSU as they are 0-4 ATS in their last four and 7-15-3 ATS in their last 25 conference games while the hurricanes have had their own issues and consistency is one of them as they are 8-17 ATS after totaling more than 450 yards the previous week. But. I was saving the best for last and that is the underdog is 15-3 ATS in the last 18 meetings and the Seminoles and 6-1 ATS in their last seven in Miami and even that the road team is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings. PS – FSU coach Norville might miss the game because of COVID restrictions and that might be a good thing. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Alabama at Missouri 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- My buddy George from New York who now lives in Las Vegas is probably the the most bias fan anyone has ever met and it's pro east coast. Now, that his son is a Alabama student, it's 'Go Tide, Roll Tide and I'm drowning with him being so high on Tide. But, all in good fun he doesn't NOT gamble but, he has the worst opinion of anyone I've ever met. Be it college or pro football he knows enough to have no clue, so I use him as a gage often comparing him with the famous Jerry of Long Beach. This is the SEC and season opener and No. 2 Alabama is a 4-TD favorite at Missouri. The Tigers who were 0-6 ATS in their final six games in 2019 had the No. 14 in ranked total defense last year. It's early and if there is ever a time to play against the Tide it's early and late in the season! I hope they are ebbing here. Take MISSOURI!

Duke at Virginia 4:00 ET

Blue Devils (+) over Cavaliers- After having Daniel Jones and Quintin Harris quarterbacking the past two seasons Duke Head coach David Cutcliffe expected more form former Clemson backup Chase Brice. The Blue Devils are 0-2 scoring just 19 points, 13-27 in a loss (cover) to Notre Dame and then getting ambushed by Boston College 6-26 as a 3.5-point favorite. This is Virginia's first game of the season and with a pair of games under their belt the Blue Devils have a major advantage. Turnover were Duke's nemesis as they have committed seven in two games but they bare 11-5 in their last 26 as underdogs and although they have struggled in this series the dog is 4-1 ATS in the past five meetings. The Cavaliers may be over -confident after watching film as they are 1-5 ATS against teams with a losing record. Take DUKE!

Army at Cincinnati 3:30 ET

Bearcats (-) over Black Knights- Both of these clubs are ranked in the Top-25 but they have come from different directions. The Army ranked No. 22 was 5-8 last season and are 2-0 after beating powerhouses Middle Tennessee State and Louisiana-Monroe outscoring them 79-7. No. 16 Cincinnati is off of a pair of 11-win seasons and return 16 starters. The true reason the Cadets received a Top-25 ranking is because of a number of other conferences that haven't played yet. The Knights are 0-20 against ranked opponents. Army is 1-4 in their last five road games and 1-5 ATS against a team with a winning record. Bearcats 6-2 ATS in last eight home games. Take CINCINNATI!

West Virginia at Oklahoma State 3:30 ET

Cowboys (-) over Mountaineers- Oklahoma State under coach Mike Gundy have not been know for their defense but, after losing quarterback Spencer Sanders it was just that. The Cowboys defense was dominant in their opening victory over Tulsa keeping the Golden Hurricane from converting on third downs (0-12) and allowing just 278 total yards. On offense OSU used three different QB's and their lack of efficiency allowed Tulsa to key on Chuba Hubbard who had only 93 yards rushing after averaging over 170 on the ground last season. West Virginia crushed a dismal FCS Eastern Kentucky team 56-10 and led 42-7 at the half. They will find the going a lot tougher this week. The Mountaineers have traditionally be weak on the road even when they have 'good' teams but the are just 4-9 ATS as a road dog and 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 games as an underdog and 0-4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. After last week's poor offensive effort I expect more from the Cowboys this week as they are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after scoring less then 20 points. Ok. St. is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with winning records. Take OKLAHOMA STATE!

Miami at Jacksonville 8:20 ET

Dolphins (+) over Jaguars- Quarterbacks Ryan Fitzpatrick of Miami and Gardner Minshew of Jacksonville are having a verbal sparing match about their respective beards and mustaches. All in good fun they say but the fun ends Thursday night as the Jaguars are a same favorite. Before the season began Jacksonville was considered one of the worst teams in the NFL and after a pair of games they are being touted by the same people that said 'they stink' two weeks ago. Miami is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 7-2 ATS after a straight-up loss. The Jaguars are 4-1 ATS in their last five but just 2-6 ATS as favorites including 1-4 ATS as hosts when favored. Take MIAMI!

New Orleans at Las Vegas 8:15 ET

Raiders (+) over Saints- The storybook line for the NFL is that the Raiders were to be welcomed to Las Vegas with gala parties and events for their first ever NFL game in Sin City. The new $2 billion Allegiant Stadium was to be rocking! Now, the Saints who come from a 'party' city of their own and pleased they won't have to deal with 70,000 crazed Raiders fans. But, Drew Brees will have to deal with John Gruden who believes he has his best team since joining the club two season's ago and he knows how to gain the spot-light. Take LAS VEGAS!

New England at Seattle 8:20 ET

Patriots (+) over Seahawks- I said it last week when the Seahawks were ready to line it up against the falcons that I just 'Hate' playing against Russell Wilson (this guy kills me) and what does he do, goes 31-of 35 for 322 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. After such an outrageous performance in Atlanta I was surprised that this game opened -3.5 as the book maker is giving the Patriots plenty of respect. New England was a different team last week and virtually when to the 'single-wing' with quarterback Cam Newton running 15 times for a franchise QB rushing record of 75 yards. When Cam Newton carries the ball 10 or more time he is 27-7-1 SU. Always well prepared New England is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 on the road and 5-1 ATS as a road dog. Take NEW ENGLAND!

Baltimore at Houston 4:25 ET

Texans (+) over Ravens- How, ugly can it get...I mean for 'us' as the bettor. Gosh, I hate Jim O'Brien, no nothing to do with him personally I just mean his coaching and judgement during a game. Houston was pounded once again by Kansas City in their opener and now return home with a scatter arm Deshaun Watson at quarterback and little receiving talent. Baltimore...ah wins 38-6 over the Browns as Lamar Jackson threw for three TD's going 20 of 25 while rushing for 79 yards. The last time these two met in November 2019 the ravens crushed 41-7 as Watson was sacked six times passing for only 169 yards. This is the Texans home opener and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meeting

Kansas City at L.A. Chargers 4:25 ET

Chargers (+) over Chiefs- The Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs will help the L.A. Chargers make their SoFi Stadium debut. The Rams already christened the venue with a win over Dallas last Sunday night and I expect the same kind of results for the Bolts in their home opener. While the Chiefs stomped Houston last week Los Angeles was lucky to escape with a win at Cincinnati only before the bengals still stink despite Burrow's talents. The numbers don't bode well for the Chargers as they are 0-7 ATS in their last seven meetings as hosts and the road team is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16. KC is 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 as favorites and 21-8-1 ATS on the road. Hey although the Chargers are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 as home underdogs and they are 7-3-2 ATS overall in their last 12 as a dog. Lighting strikes and CHARGERS bolt to a win. Take LOS ANGELES!

Minnesota at Indianapolis 1:05 ET

Colts (-) over Vikings- The reason Phillip Rivers is now quarterbacking in Indianapolis in stead of with the Chargers is that he threw 18 interceptions and in his opening game for the Colts he threw for 363 yards and a TD but alas, he hd two interceptions in their disappointing loss to Jacksonville. Minnesota meanwhile, was totally outclassed by Green Bay and had its secondary shredded for 364 yards by Aaron Rogers. This is Rivers home debut with Indy and I'm sure he will be prepared. The Vikings are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs and 2-6 ATS as road dogs while the colts are 5-2-1 ATS after a loss. Take INDIANAPOLIS!

L.A. Rams at Philadelphia 1:05 ET

Eagles (+) over Rams- These two clubs were both involved my two Sunday winners (2-3) in my disappointing opening week. Los Angeles was my Sunday night Bail-Out winner over Dallas and they come cross country to play in Philadelphia a team that blew a 17-0 lead to Washington losing 27-17. Believe it or not the Eagles were manhandled by the 'Swampers' who had eight sacks and made life miserable for Carson Wentz. Although the Birds offensive line is banged up one must remember a team is never as good or bad as they performed in their opening week. Priced opened Philly -4 and by game time the Rams will be favored and should fall here. It's the spot, as the Eagles are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings including 4-0 ATS at home. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Detroit at Green Bay 1:05 ET

Lions (+) over Packers- Golly, how I hate playing on the Detroit Lions team as they are poorly coached and have a QB that just doesn't win against the better teams. He has beaten Green bay just five times in 20 career starts against the Packers and here they are after blowing a 17-point fourth quarter lead at home to the Bears. I mean under Matt Patricia the Lions are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 overall and it appears they are regressing. Detroit had veteran Adrian Peterson debut by running for 93 yards while Matt Stafford continues to disappoint but tin a surprise effort he Lions roar here. Take DETROIT!

Miami at Louisville 7:30 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Cardinals- Both these clubs opened with non-conference win last week as Louisville dispatched Western Kentucky 35-21 and Miami took down UAB 31-14. The Cardinals should have revenge on their minds after getting destroyed 55-27 in Miami last season. The hurricanes were only 7-7 last season and torched the Louisville defense for six TD passes. Yet, Miami wasn't that good last year and have transfer D'Eriq King from Houston and his quick feet and passing remind many of Kyler Murray now with Arizona Cardinals. Miami is looking to rebuild their programs football reputation and it continues here. Take the HURRICANES!

Central Florida at Georgia Tech 3:30 ET

Panthers (-) over Yellow Jackets- Georgia Tech pull off an opening week 16-13 upset win over Florida State as a 16-point underdogs. It isn't as though the Engineers dominated the game and more like the Seminoles are still really bad. Even after that win Tech is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs and 0-6 ATS in their last six non-conference games. Central Florida is 4-1 in n on-conference games and will be welcoming the return of Dillon Gabriel at quarterback and as a true freshman threw for a record setting 3,653 yards. Look for USF to exploit the poor Tech kicking game as they had two-extra points and a field goal blocked last week. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

South Florida at Notre Dame 2:30 ET

Fighting Irish (-) over Bulls- Last week 'we' faded Notre Dame by taking Duke +20 and won 'covering' 13-27 which was their ACC debut. South Florida also posted a 27-6 win over The Citadel who may be the weakest team in college football and still the Bulldogs who were only 4-18 passing for 84 yards but were able to run for 200 yards on 54 carries. The Bulls close3d last season with four straight losses and Charlie Strong was given his walking papers; and replaced by Jeff Scott who is going to find out what a beating under the Golden Dome is like...He won't like it! Take NOTRE DAME!
