COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME L-C -11 POINTS Drake beat Bradley on the road, while Loyola lost to Bradley on the road. Looks like an easy call on Drake in this one. Not so fast my friends. The Ramblers have been a strong team all year and they have a huge edge on defense, especially here at home where they have allowed just 62.0 ppg on the year, while the Bulldogs have allowed 77.1 ppg on the road so far. The Loyola defense had a bad showing in their game against the Bears, but I look for that defense to bounce back and lead them to a win in this game of at least 12 points. The clincher is the fact that the Ramblers are 8-1 ATS their last nine games against the Missouri Valley Conference.

The Golden Eagles fell to 13-9 overall and 4-6 in the Big East after the one-sided loss to the Bulldogs. Marquette was tied midway through the first half but was outscored 25-10 the rest of the half to trail by 15. The Golden Eagles were no closer than 13 in the second half and trailed by as many as 30. Marquette shot 46.2 percent from the field and went five of 18 from three point range while getting beaten 32-22 on the glass. The Golden Eagles allowed the Bulldogs to shoot 60 percent from the floor and eight of 14 from long range. Markus Howard paced Marquette with 26 points in the loss. The Golden Eagles are 34th in the nation in scoring offense with 82 points per game. Marquette is currently 333rd in rebounding with 32 boards per contest but stands tied for 52nd in assists with 16 per game. The Golden Eagles are 299th in scoring defense as they allow 77.5 points a night so far this year. Andrew Rowsey is second on Marquette with 19.5 points plus 4.1 assists per game. Markus Howard is averaging a team high 21.9 points per game, Sam Hauser puts up 14 a night and Hannif Cheatham added 8.2 points per contest. Cheatham left the team in late November and announced that he was going to transfer to Florida Gulf Coast in mid-December. Matt Heldt, Jamal Cain, Sacar Anim and Theo John are secondary contributors for coach Steve Wojciechowski. Marquette is shooting 47.1 percent from the floor this season. The Golden Eagles hit 11.1 three pointers a night on 39.9 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Marquette is very good at the free throw line as they convert 79.2 percent of their chances at the stripe this season. That number is good for third in the nation. Providence is the advantage here, and I have them for the upset. Take the points here.

NFL 150 DIME GOY EAGLES +3.5 I am taking the points with the Eagles in this contest. The Eagles defense was tremendous against the Falcons last week and they should be able to neutralize the Vikings offense as well. They feature the best rush defense in the NFL as they allowed an average of only 79 rushing yards per game in the regular season, and they were able to hold the Falcons strong running game to only 86 rushing yards last week. In addition, the Eagles were able to contain Matt Ryan last week by holding him to 210 passing yards, and they should able to do the same against Case Keenum. Furthermore, Nick Foles showed great poise in the second half last week, and the Eagles potent running game is strong enough to do damage. The Vikings did allow the Saints to go 3 for 4 in the red zone, and the Eagles defense had the better performance of these two teams last week. The Eagles are on their home field, and their defense will be the deciding factor in this one. The Eagles are very tough to beat at home, and the last eight NFC and AFC Championship games have all been won by the home team. Eagles 11-3 ATS vs Vikings Vikings 1-7 on the road SU against the Eagles. Eagles 23, Vikings 13

Home, road, doesn’t matter. We’ll see if we’re good enough to manage that.” Keita Bates-Diop scored 20 points and added nine rebounds.

COLLEGE BOOK BOOKIE KILLER GOY OKLAHOMA ST -4 This looks like it could be a very difficult game for Virginia Tech. Quarterback Josh Jackson did not have a great second half of the season throwing the ball and now his main target will be in street clothes. It would be nice to rely on the running game, but the Hokies have had an inconsistent ground attack this season and the strength of the Oklahoma State defense is stopping the run. The Cowboys are terrible at defending the pass, but Tech doesn’t have the weapons to effectively exploit this weakness. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State is going to score. Mason Rudolph, James Washington and Marcell Ateman are all playing their final collegiate game and will be motivated to go out in a big way. The Virginia Tech defense is very good, but has not faced a passing game as dynamic and explosive as Oklahoma State’s. The closest comparison would be West Virginia in the season opener when Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier threw for 371 yards in the 31-24 loss. The Cowboys won’t get to 40 points on the Hokies’ defense. But they will get a lot closer to that number than Virginia Tech will. OKLAHOMA ST 31-17

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME MEGA MOVE MISSOURI -2.5 I don’t like Texas in this game for two reasons. One, the defense is facing an offense that loves to go vertical as much as, say, Oklahoma State. Not only has Texas had issues defending the deep ball late in the year, three key pieces from the defense that stymied the Cowboys won’t be on the field (DeShon Elliott, Holton Hill and Malik Jefferson). Two, the offense is going to have a tough time following the blueprint to win the game by running the ball consistently and controlling the clock to protect the defense and keep Drew Lock and Co. off the field. Missouri, statistically anyway, is a similar defense to Texas Tech in that you can run on them but it’s going to take some time. The Longhorns will have to chip away and eventually the dam will break. But Missouri has better personnel than Texas Tech and considering the absences on the Texas side of the field, Terry Beckner Jr.might be the best NFL prospect on the field. I’m a firm believer in Tom Herman and his ability to have a team ready to play, so I won’t be the least bit surprised if this game is tight late and the Longhorns have a chance to win. But Texas is starting this race with less than a full tank, and I don’t see the Longhorns being able to have enough left to finish the job. Missouri 34, Texas 27

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA -3 Arizona has been a fairly wild team this season. On offense, they average 495 yards and 41.8 points per game. On defense, they allow 467 yards as an average. They’ve had to score a ton in order to get these victories, and that’s started to turn on them in the last month. In the opposite spectrum of their bowl opponent, they lost three of their last four games and gave up 42 points or more in all of those defeats. The lone win was over a very bad team in Oregon State. While the team may not be that great, they’re unquestionably fun to watch, especially quarterback Khalil Tate. He’s listed as probable despite nursing a shoulder injury, and he’s the obvious make-or-break player for the team. In the air, he’s posted an adequate 1,289 passing yards and a ratio of nine touchdowns to eight picks. On the ground, he adds another 1,353 yards and 12 more scores. He averages more yards on the ground per play than in the air. The key in this game is the offense. Purdue doesn't have much to offer. They are just 1-5 ATS. I have Arizona winning 34-23.

COLLEGE BOWL 100 DIME GOLD GOY
IOWA -2.5
Iowa’s run defense is good enough to battle the Eagles for four quarters. But Iowa can win with its pass rush and pass defense. The Eagles rank 114th in passing with 162.8 yards per game. Starting quarterback Anthony Brown missed the last two games and won’t play in this one, either. Senior Darius Wade will start the Pinstripe Bowl and he has performed admirably in Brown’s absence. This year, Wade has completed 46 of 75 passes for 528 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.
Sophomore defensive end Anthony Nelson has paced the Hawkeyes’ pass rush with 6 sacks this season. Senior linebacker Josey Jewell and freshman defensive end A.J. Epenesa chipped in with 4.5 sacks each. The Hawkeyes’ pass rush has helped the secondary flourish with 19 interceptions, tied for second-most nationally. Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson has 25 passes defensed with 7 interceptions and was named a unanimous first-team All-American.
Iowa wins 24-16.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL 100 DIME GAME APPALACHIAN ST+7 Appalachian State is a team capable of putting points on the board in a hurry, averaging 33.4 points per game this season. QB Taylor Lamb led the way with 2,606 passing yards and 27 touchdowns, but the Mountaineers also have running back Jalin Moore. Moore is 88 yards away from reaching 1,000 on the season. Defensively, the Mountaineers are led by LB Eric Boggs (97 tackles, 4 sacks) and DL Tee Sims (9.5 sacks). When Toledo lost to Ohio 38-10 on a Wednesday night in early November, I feared the loss would cost the Rockets a conference title they've been chasing since 2004. Thankfully, they won their final two games of the regular season to clinch the division and then took care of Akron in the MAC Championship. Now they head to Mobile looking for revenge against an Appalachian State team that beat them in the Camellia Bowl last season. Toledo enters the contest with one of the most potent offenses in the country, finishing 11th nationally with 39.2 points per game. This game will be close, but I have Appalachian St by 4 points.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME WESTERN KENTUCKY +6 Western Kentucky continues to put up the offense with 78.4 points per game, and they hit 84 points in their last contest against Ohio. However, the opposition scored 89 points and handed them the one and only true road loss of the season. The Hilltoppers had 12 more shot attempts and made six more field goals, but the free throws were the difference. They went just 15-for-24 while the Bobcats nailed 31-of-35. Senior forward Justin Johnson (11.7 ppg, 9.6 rpg) had a second straight double-double featuring 16 points and 13 boards. He knocked down 8-of-14 from the field in one of his most efficient performances of the season. Freshman guard Taveion Hollingsworth (12.6 ppg) led the team with 19 points. He made 50 percent of his shots (6-of-12), both 3-point attempts, and went 5-for-6 from the charity stripe. They needed more help from there in this contest. I like Western Kentucky to pulls the upset by 3 points.

Texas is coming off a nice win over VCU and beat them on the road, while Michigan beat the Rams but on a neutral floor. The Wolverines don’t have a ton of depth and they are weak on the glass. Michigan has continued the trend of being overly reliant on the three: if it’s not falling, they aren’t built to generate offense other ways. Texas should utilize their big men and take advantage of their size to get the win here at home.

The Ragin’ Cajuns are also a strong rebounding team and they defend the three well, holding opponents to a 30% clip from three-point territory, so they should contain a high-scoring Bulldogs’ team.

NFL 100 DIME GAME SEAHAWKS +3 The Jaguars pulling out the biggest win of this decade all hinges on containing Russell Wilson. The Jacksonville defense hasn’t been afraid of any challengers this season, and are assuredly looking forward to the opportunity of disrupting the Seahawks quarterback. The offense has to take shots downfield, particularly early in the game. Attack Seattle early and often, obtain a lead, and let the defense go to work. Blake Bortles does not have to throw the ball all around the yard, but mistake-free decision making will be imperative. A performance resembling his game last week vs. the Colts would almost certainly secure a victory. As important will be getting Leonard Fournette back on track, and making sure he has a heavy dose of yardage. The key in this game, is the coaching. The Seahawks can pull miracle plays. I have them winning 17-13. Take the points here.

UNLV has four additional players besides McCoy averaging double figures. Junior Shakur Juiston gives UNLV another solid inside scoring option.

Mattias Markusson had a solid performance for Loyola Marymount, recording 12 points and 10 rebounds. Meanwhile, Portland State was led by Deontae North, who had 22 points and seven rebounds.

Since last season, Loyola Marymount ranks 216th in the NCAA in ball protection (turnover percentage of 19.4 percent), while the gambling defense of Portland State has forced the 20th-most turnovers in the nation (22.7 percent).

The Seminoles squeaked out a win at home last season 83-78, beat the Gators 73-71 in 2016, and won 65-63 in 2015 on the now infamous Jacob Kurtz “own goal” at the buzzer (I wish I didn’t have to bring that up, Gators fans). Considering Florida had a great opportunity to win all those games but came up short, they are hungry for a win. Florida State, on the other hand, would love to get a signature win against a top 10 ranked Florida team in the non-conference as they might struggle to win conference games in the ACC. There are plenty of reasons for both teams to be fired up for this one, so it should be a great game no matter what each player’s motivations are.

After watching how the Chiefs have played the last few weeks though I am not so sure anymore. Josh McCown has impressed everyone by keeping the Jets in just about every game this season, pair that with a defense that has been playing very physical football in the trenches and it gives you a team that has a chance to win just about every game. Alex Smith has struggled reading coverage lately and im not sure if that goes away this week, the Chiefs have to find a way to run the ball against this team to help him out otherwise we could see this slide continue Jets win 17-13.
