20* SEAHAWKS/COWBOYS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Seahawks +2½ -109

My money is on the Seahawks to upset the Cowboys in Dallas on Wild Card weekend. While both of these teams really hit their stride in the second half of the season, I just trust what I'm seeing a lot more from Seattle. That high-powered rushing attack with Russell Wilson at quarterback is really tough to stop. It's a recipe for success on the road against a quality defense like Dallas. I also think the Seahawks can keep Zeke in check and really put the pressure on Dak to beat them. Bet Seattle +2.5! 

15* E WASHINGTON/N DAKOTA ST CFB SHARP PLAY on North Dakota State -14½ -110

20* WASHINGTON/OHIO STATE CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Washington +7 -110

My money is on the Huskies to cash in an easy cover here as a 7-point dog against the Buckeyes. It's not that I don't think Ohio State isn't the more talented team, I just think bowl games are all about motivation. The Buckeyes got passed up by the playoff committee, despite going 12-1 and winning the Big Ten title. I think after watching how bad Notre Dame played against Clemson that Ohio State was more deserving. It's just not the same playing in a bowl of less magnitude and then you got the distraction with Urban Meyer stepping down. I think Washington and Chris Petersen really need this game and will be 100% locked in. Bet the Huskies +7! 

20* HYUNDAI SUN BOWL SHARP TOP PLAY on Pittsburgh +5½ -109

My money is on the Panthers to cash in a winning ticket as a near touchdown dog against the Cardinal. A lot of people want to write-off what Pitt has been able to accomplish this year. You can't blame them for taking advantage of a weak Coastal. Stanford plays in the Pac-12 for cyring out loud, which is easily the worst of the Power 5 conferences. Not to mention the Cardinal weren't anything close to what we have seen in previous years and I think they will be lucky to win this thing. Bet Pittsburgh +5.5! 

15* EAGLES/REDSKINS NFL SHARP PLAY on Eagles -6½ -110

My money is on the Eagles to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Redskins. Unfortunately for the defending champs they waited to long to start playing with a chip on their shoulder. I would want nothing to do with facing this team in the playoffs, but for that to happen the Bears have to upset the Vikings. Chicago has stated they are playing to win, despite needing the 49ers to upset the Rams for their game to matter, so there's some life for the Eagles. Either way, I think Philadelphia takes care of business against a injury-depleted Washington team. Bet the Eagles -6.5! 

25* NFC SOUTH GAME OF THE MONTH on Panthers +9 -114

My money is on the Panthers to cash in an easy cover here against the Saints. This line is absolutely ridiculous. The game means absolutely nothing to New Orleans, as they have the No. 1 seed in the bag. Several starters won't play and this isn't just a game Carolina can keep close, but win outright. I think this game means a lot to the Panthers, who come in having lost 7 straight. You don't want to take a losing streak like that into the offseason. Bet the Panthers +9! 

20* PEACH BOWL CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Michigan -6½ -106

My money is on the Wolverines to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Gators. No one expecting Michigan to show up here after how they ended the season with that ugly loss to Ohio State, which kept them out of the Big Ten title and likely the college football playoff. I'm not buying that. I expect the Wolverines to come to play and that should be more than enough for them to beat a pretty average Florida team by at least a touchdown. Bet Michigan -6.5! 

20* ALAMO BOWL CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Iowa State +3 -109

My money is on the Cyclones to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Cougars in the 2018 Alamo Bowl. Washington State was one of the best stories in the country this year, as a lot of people thought they wouldn't even make a bowl and they nearly won the Pac-12. The thing is they were a win over their rivals away from playing for a conference title and a spot in the Rose Bowl. I just question if they are really happy about playing this game and at the same time, I don't trust them the slightest. Mike Leach's Cougars have been a favorite in each of the last 4 bowls they have gone to and only walked out with 1 win. Iowa State is arguably the better team and really has all the edges you look for when handicapping a bowl game. Bet the Cyclones +3! 

20* INDEPENDENCE BOWL CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Temple -3 -110

My money is on Temple to cash in an easy win and cover as a 3-point favorite against the Blue Devils in the 2018 Independence Bowl. The simple fact that the Owls are favored over a Power 5 opponent after their head coach left to take over at Georgia Tech really says it all. I just think people are really underestimating how much talent is on this Temple roster and I got major concerns for Duke's offense. The Blue Devils scored a mere 13 points in their final two games of the regular season and had 7 turnovers in their last 3 games. The Owls scored 40 or more in 3 of their last 4. Duke won't be able to keep up. Bet Temple -3! 

20* CHIEFS/SEAHAWKS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY  on Seahawks +2½ +100

My money is on the Seahawks to cash in a win at home against the Chiefs. I fully expect Seattle to win this game outright, but I'm taking the points just for some extra insurance. Kansas City's offense just hasn't had the same feel to it since they lost star running back Kareem Hunt and have had to make due without wideout Sammy Watkins. Seattle reminds me a lot of a Ravens team that went into Kansas City and should have beat the Chiefs a couple weeks back. As good as Mahomes is, and he's really good, KC simply doesn't have the defense or running game to win December and January football. Bet the Seahawks +2.5! 

15* JAGUARS/DOLPHINS NFL SHARP PLAY on Jaguars +4½ -110

My money is on the Jags to cash in as a road dog against the Dolphins in Week 16. I just don't trust the Miami the slightest. For as bad as everyone is saying Jacksonville is playing, they have just one loss by more than 6-points in their last 7 games and the lone exception was a road game on short rest for Thursday Night Football. There's still a ton of talent on that defensive side of the ball and Leonard Fournette is healthy and should be in line for a big day after watching Miami give up over 200 yards rushing last week to the Vikings. Bet Jacksonville +4.5! 

20* RAVENS/CHARGERS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Ravens +4½ -105

My money is on Baltimore to cash in a winning ticket here as a well priced dog. Sure the Chargers are coming off a big win against KC, but the Chiefs really dominated that game and should have won. Los Angeles doesn't have much of a home field edge playing at the StubHub Center. All the talk is about how Lamar Jackson won't be able to run against a good Chargers defense. It's a lot harder to stop a mobile quarterback than it is to just focus in on a running back. No other team runs their QB like Baltimore. It's the closest thing the league has seen to Michael Vick. I think the Ravens keep doing what they have been doing, while the Baltimore defense locks in on Rivers and that LA offense. Bet the Ravens +4.5! 

15* ARMED FORCES BOWL CFB SHARP PLAY on Army -4½ -106

My money is on the Black Knights to easily cover the spread here against the Cougars. Not only does Army have the motivational edge, I think they are the more talented team. All the talk is about how fast Houston plays and how much Army slows the game down. With Ed Oliver not playing and all the injuries that have piled up for the Cougars defensive line, I'm confident the Black Knights will be able to run the ball and control the clock. I think that's going to really frustrate this Houston offense, which keep in mind is without their best player in quarterback D'Eriq King. Bet Army -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Toledo -5½ -110

My money is on the Rockets to cash in an easy cover here against FIU in the Bahamas Bowl. It's been a great year for the Panthers, but they are going into this one shorthanded and simply won't be able to keep it close. Starting quarterback and 2018 C-USA Newcomer of the Year, James Morgan is not going to play. They also had running back Sawndarrius Phillips arrested and he too won't be available. Toledo comes in averaging 41.1 ppg and 448 yards/game. FIU isn't going to be able to keep pace offensively without Morgan. Bet the Rockets -5.5! 

15* GASPARILLA BOWL CFB SHARP PLAY on Marshall -3 -109

My money is on the Thundering Herd to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Bulls. All the talk about USF is they started out 7-0 and then lost 5 straight because the schedule got a lot tougher. They lost 5 straight because they aren't a very good team and played a bunch of cupcakes early on and won some games they shouldn't have. Marshall was a top player in C-USA and has the defense to slow down USF and the Bulls play no defense. Thundering Herd head coach Doc Holliday is also a perfect 5-0 in bowl games. Bet Marshall -3! 

20* DXL FRISCO BOWL CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on San Diego State +2½ +106

My money is on the Aztecs to cash in as a small dog against the Bobcats in the DXL Frisco Bowl. I just don't think the MAC is that good and Ohio is getting way too much love as a favorite here. I think San Diego State is the far superior team and will not only win this game outright, but win this thing in a blowout. Bet the Aztecs +2.5! 

20* BOCA RATON BOWL CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Northern Illinois +3 -115

My money is on Northern Illinois to cash in an easy cover as an underdog against UAB. I just think the books have completely missed the mark here, as I think the Huskies are the better team. UAB is a great story, but I don't think C-USA is all that it's made out to be. The Huskies are better than people think, as they played an absolutely brutal non-conference schedule against the likes of Iowa, Utah, FSU and BYU. They started out 6-0 in MAC play and had the division title wrapped up before losing their final two conference games. They then upset a really good Buffalo team in the MAC title game. Bet Northern Illinois +3! 

20* SAINTS/PANTHERS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Saints -6 -102

My money is on the Saints to cash in a cover here on the road against the Panthers. Carolina comes in having lost 5 straight, but because they started out 6-2, they continue to get overvalued by the books. New Orleans had an ugly loss at Dallas and played a awful half last week against the Bucs, but they got the offense back on track in the 2nd half at Tampa Bay and I just think that offense will be too much for the Panthers to keep this game close. Carolina's defense gets a lot of love, but they aren't very good against the pass and are giving up 25.5 ppg. New Orleans' defense hasn't allowed more than 17 points in 5 straight games. Bet the Saints -6! 

20* EAGLES/RAMS SNF PLAY OF THE MONTH on Eagles +11 -115

My money is on the Eagles to cover the double-digit spread against the Rams. Philadelphia is in a familiar spot in December. The Eagles are being counted out after losing Carson Wentz to a serious injury. Does Nick Foles have another magical run in him? It's not out of the question. Either way, I think we see Philadelphia get back some of that nasty underdog mentality that carried them to a Super Bowl last year. Rams are in a tough spot these final 3 weeks. They got their division wrapped up and are going to end up with at worst the No. 2 seed. I don't see them matching the intensity of the Eagles, which will make it really hard for them to cover this massive spread. Bet the Eagles +11!

20* ALCORN ST/NC A&T CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Alcorn State +8 -109

15* N DAKOTA ST/S DAKOTA ST CFB SHARP PLAY on South Dakota State +11½ -109

15* SAINTS/BUCS NFL SHARP PLAY on Bucs +9 -110

My money is on Tampa Bay to cash in an easy cover here, as the Bucs are a near double-digit division home dog to New Orleans. Tampa already beat the Saints once this season, so it's not out of the question they could win here. Note that New Orleans was a 10-point home favorite in Week 1 against the Bucs, which means had they played on a neutral field the Saints would have been about a 6-point favorite and somewhere around a 3-point favorite if it had been in Tampa. As you can see, big overreaction here and the Bucs come into this playing arguably their best football of the season. Bet Tampa Bay +9! 

25* PATS/DOLPHINS AFC EAST PLAY OF THE MONTH on Dolphins +8 -105

My money is on the Dolphins to cash in a cover here as a big division home dog to the Patriots. Miami is a team the public wants nothing to do with and I think it's resulted in a ton of value with the line shaded heavily in favor of New England. Miami has covered 5 of their last 6 at home and are 7-2 ATS last 9 at home vs a team with a winning road record. Bet the Dolphins +8! 

15* ARMY/NAVY CFB SHARP PLAY on Army -7 -110

My money is on the Black Knights to make it 3 straight against rival Navy and cover the 7-point spread in the process. I think a lot of people just assume this will be close, but I think there's a pretty big gap in talent this time around. The biggest thing for me is how poorly Navy played earlier in the year against Air Force, losing 35-7. Army's only two losses this season are true road games against Duke and Oklahoma and they took the Sooners to overtime in Norman. Bet Army -7! 

15* VIKINGS/PATRIOTS NFL SHARP PLAY on Vikings +5½ -115

My money is on the Vikings to cash in as a 5.5-point dog at New England. This just doesn't look like the Patriots teams we have seen in the past going into the final month of the regular season. The offense is hit or miss and dealing with a lot of injuries and the defense is far from elite. I just think the Vikings are better than people think and really matchup well with New England. To have success against Brady and the Pats offense, you got to be able to put pressure on him and the Vikings can definitely do that. You also need an offense that can finish drives and there's definitely talent on that side of the ball for Minnesota. I just see a one possession game here in the 4th quarter and a good chance the Vikings win this one outright. Bet Minnesota +5.5! 

20* CHIEFS/RAIDERS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Raiders +15½ -115

My money is on the Raiders to cash in a cover here as a massive home dog against division rival Kansas City. The perception here is that Oakland has no chance of even keeping this game close, let along winning the game. I think that's definitely a stretch for the Raiders to pull off the upset, but I think they will keep it closer than expected. Chiefs figure to be a bit out of sync offensively with the loss of Hunt, which is also an added off the field distraction. More than anything, this Kansas City defense is going to give up yards and are not nearly as good on the road as they are at home. Bet the Raiders +15.5! 

20* BOISE ST/FRESNO ST CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Fresno State +2½ -110

20* SAINTS/COWBOYS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Cowboys +7½ -110

My money is on the Cowboys to cover as a huge 7.5-point home dog to the Saints. Sure New Orleans comes in having won 10 straight and covered 8 in a row, but if you don't think the books have inflated this line given those runs, you haven't been betting very long. New Orleans is a good team and has played well of late, but Dallas is no pushover. Cowboys are playing extremely well since adding Cooper and with the way they can run the ball and how well they play defense, I think they have as good a shot as anyone to slow down Brees and this high-powered Saints offense. Bet the Cowboys +7.5! 

20* PATS/JETS AFC EAST GAME OF THE MONTH on Jets +10 -115

My money is on the Jets to cash in a cover here as a double-digit dog against division rival New England. This is just too good a price to pass up on New York at home. Despite all the roster turnover that's taken place, the Jets always seem to find a way to play the Patriots close at home. They haven't lost by more than a touchdown the last 5 times they hosted New England and won two of those outright. With all the injures the Patriots are dealing with and this team not being nearly as efficient on the road, it will be really hard for NE to pull away here. Bet the Jets +10! 

15* SOUTHERN MISS/UTEP CFB SHARP PLAY on Southern Miss vs UTEP over 44½ -110

My money is on the OVER 44.5 in Saturday's C-USA clash between Southern Miss and UTEP. This is just too low a total for a game that features a team that's as bad defensively as the Miners. UTEP has given up 40+ in each of their last two games against Middle Tenn and Western Kentucky. While Southern Miss hasn't been putting up a ton of points, this is one defense they can expose and there's zero motivation here for UTEP, who has to just want this season to be over with. OVER is 13-4 in the Miners last 17 when they come in having lost 6 or 7 of their last 8 games. Bet the OVER 44.5! 

15* STANFORD/UCLA CFB SHARP PLAY on UCLA +7 -105

My money is on the Bruins to cash in an easy cover here as a touchdown dog at home against the Cardinal. While UCLA comes into this game sitting at just 3-8, they have continued to show signs of improvement as the season progresses and are fresh off a 34-27 win at home against USC. There's got to be a ton of excitement going into year two under Chip Kelly and I expect the Bruins to play their hearts out here in the finale home game of 2018. I just don't see a ton of motivation here for the Cardinal and this is not your typical Stanford team in terms of talent. I just think this is too big a price for the Cardinal to be laying away from home. Bet UCLA +7! 

20* IN-STATE RIVALRY CFB PLAY OF THE MONTH on NC State -7½ +106

My money is on the Wolfpack to add to what's been a miserable 2018 season for the Tar Heels. North Carolina is just 2-8 and one of those two wins came against a FCS foe in Western Carolina. NC State has had their ups and downs this year, but they are fresh off a 52-10 win at Louisville as a mere 16-point favorite and I see no reason not to expect them to win here by at least double-digits. Bet NC State -7.5! 

20* WASHINGTON ST/WASHINGTON CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Washington +3 -109

My money is on Washington to cash in an easy cover here against their in-state rivals. As tempting as it might be to think this will be the year that the Cougars break through against the Huskies, I'm betting we will see more of the same. In the last 5 meetings (starting with the most recent) Washington has won 41-14, 45-17, 45-10, 31-13 and 27-17. Pretty amazing that not once has Washington State scored at least 20 points. This Huskies defense is one of the best in the country and I just don't think Minshew and that Cougars offense will be able to score enough to win this game. Bet Washington +3! 

20* FALCONS/SAINTS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Falcons +13 -115

My money is on the Falcons to cash in as a big underdog against the Saints on Thanksgiving night. I just don't get this line at all. Atlanta was a 1.5-point home favorite agains New Orleans earlier this season and it was the Saints who needed to score late to force OT. I just think New Orleans is getting way too much respect for blowing out an Eagles team that simply hasn't been very good this year. Atlanta has shown they can hang with the Saints and there's just no way I'm passing up on this many points. Bet the Falcons +13! 

15* COLORADO ST/AIR FORCE CFB SHARP PLAY on Air Force -14½ -105

My money is on Air Force to win and cover at home against the Rams. This will be the last game of the season for both of these teams, as neither will be bowl eligible. That's where I think you have to give a big edge here to the Falcons. Air Force is one of the last teams that is going to throw in the towel. They are going to compete no matter what. The same can't be said for Colorado State, who has lost 4 straight and off a crushing loss at home to Utah State, which I think to them was their Super Bowl. Look for Air Force to rack up the points and win here by at least 3 scores. Bet the Falcons -14.5! 

20* N ILLINOIS/W MICHIGAN CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Northern Illinois -5½ -110

My money is on the Huskies to cash in a win and cover against the Broncos in Tuesday's MAC action. I get Northern Illinois has no real incentive here with the MAC West title locked up. Sure they could just decide to not show up and focus everything on the MAC Championship Game next week. I just don't think you want to go into the biggest game of the year off back-to-back losses. I think they could out in the 1st half and try to put this game away and with how good they are defensively and how bad Western Michigan is defensively, they could be up 20+ by halftime. Bet Northern Illinois -5.5! 

20* CHIEFS/RAMS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Chiefs +3 +105

My money is on the Chiefs to cash in a cover on the road against the Rams on Monday Night Football. I just think KC is the more complete team, especially with LA losing one of their top offensive weapons in Cooper Kupp. Everyone wants to talk about how bad the Chiefs defense is, but they have been getting better and better as the season progresses. As for the Rams, their defense has only gotten worse and I don't know that there's a defense out there that can slow down Mahomes and the Chiefs. Look for KC to really put an emphasis on stopping Gurley and allowing that pass rush to cause chaos for Goff and that Rams passing attack. Bet the Chiefs +3! 

20* STEELERS/JAGS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Jaguars +6 -105

My money is on the Jaguars to cash in an easy cover here at home against the Steelers. Pittsburgh is simply overvalued after winning 5 straight and Jacksonville couldn't be more undervalued after losing 5 straight. I loved how the Jaguars fought back last week against the Colts on the road and I expect an even bigger effort here at home with their season on the line. Jacksonville won both meetings last year against the Steelers and both of those were in Pittsburgh. Look for that defense to be the difference in this one. Bet the Jaguars +6! 

15* UAB/TEXAS A&M CFB SHARP PLAY on Texas A&M -16 -110

My money is on the Aggies to easily cover this spread at home against UAB. With this being the first year under Jimbo Fisher, I think there's still a lot of motivation to keep playing hard and we saw they are still motivated with last week's 38-24 win against Ole Miss. I think people see UAB at 9-1 and think this team can at least hang around and keep it close. I just don't think that will be the case. It reminds me a lot of late last year when they were a mere 10-point dog at Florida in the second to last week and lost 36-7. I think the Aggies are simply too talented and there's been enough talk about the potential for an upset that they will show up. That should be all it takes for them to win here by at least 20 points. Bet Texas A&M -16! 

20* IOWA/ILLINOIS BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR on Iowa -14 -107

My money is on the Hawkeyes to easily cover here as a two touchdown favorite against the Fighting Illini. Iowa comes into this game having lost 3 straight to fall to 6-4 and completely out of the Big Ten race after that 6-1 start. The most recent game was a ugly 14-10 loss at home to Northwestern as a 11.5-point favorite. After that game no-one wants anything to do with Hawkeyes, but this is the ideal bounce back spot for this team, as there's a big difference from 8-4 and 6-6 or 7-5 when bowl selection comes. Keep in mind Iowa could easily be undefeated right now, as all their losses have come in the finale minutes of the 4th quarter. Illinois is making progress, but they just don't have the offensive fire-power against a defense like this to keep this game close. Illini have allowed 30+ in 5 straight, giving up 45 or more in 4 of those. Bet Iowa -14! 

15* NEVADA/SAN JOSE ST CFB SHARP PLAY on Nevada vs San Jose State over 57½ -109

My money is on the OVER 57.5 in Saturday's Mountain West clash between Nevada and San Jose State. I think Nevada is going to put up a huge number here and the Spartans will do enough on their home field to push this over the mark. Wolf Pack are averaging 33.8 ppg and have scored 40+ twice in their last 3 games, including 49 last time out against Colorado State. San Jose State just gave up 62 at Utah State and are allowing 43.8 ppg at home. They are also averaging 32.4 ppg at home and Nevada is allowing 37.7 ppg on the road. These two are going to get to 60 points no problem. Bet the OVER 57.5! 

15* SYRACUSE/NOTRE DAME CFB SHARP PLAY on Syracuse vs Notre Dame over 61 -109

My money is on the OVER 61 in Saturday's big showdown between No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 12 Syracuse. With Ian Book expected back for the Irish, I look for that offense to have their way here with a pretty mediocre Orange defense, especially with the game being played  on their home field. ON the flip side of this, I think this Syracuse offense is one of the better units Notre Dame has faced, certainly in the last couple months. Orange have scored 40 or more in 4 straight and if you look at what Clemson's defense has done to the rest of the ACC, their 23 points against the Tigers in Clemson is pretty impressive. Notre Dame is not on that level. Bet the OVER 61! 

20* BOISE ST/N MEXICO MWC PLAY OF THE MONTH on New Mexico +21 -109

My money is on the Loboes to keep this thing close enough to cover. I fully expect Boise State to win the game, as they need a victory to keep their hopes alive of playing in the MWC Championship Game. However, coming off that big win over Fresno State and basically a playoff game against Utah State on deck (assuming they win), this is the definition of a trap game. Bet New Mexico +21! 

15* FAU/NORTH TEXAS CFB SHARP PLAY on Florida Atlantic vs North Texas over 61½ -109

My money is on the Owls and Mean Green to easily eclipse the total for tonight's anticipated C-USA matchup. This is a rematch of last year's C-USA Championship Game and these are two teams that can light up the scoreboard. North Texas is averaging 37.2 ppg and 40.4 ppg at home, while FAU comes in giving up 37.8 ppg on the road. Owls are scoring 31.1 ppg and had 110 in the two meetings between these two teams last year. They also come in rolling having score 34 on WKU and 49 at FIU in their last 2 games. Bet the OVER 61.5! 

20* PACKERS/SEAHAWKS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Packers +3 -115

My money is on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to cash in a winning ticket on Thursday Night Football. I'll take the 3-points in this one, but I fully expect Green Bay to win outright. Seattle is not as good as people think. They are just getting love for two close losses to the Rams. There's a reason they are 4-5 on the season and it's not bad luck. Rodgers is too good and will not let his team lose this one, as he goes for his 4th straight win over the Seahawks. Bet Green Bay +3! 

20* BUFFALO/OHIO CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Ohio +1½ -106

15* W MICHIGAN/BALL ST CFB SHARP PLAY on Western Michigan vs Ball State over 54½ -106

My money is on the OVER 54.5 in Tuesday's weeknight MAC football action that has Ball State hosting Western Michigan. The Cardinals have allowed at least 42 points in each of their last 3 games and the Broncos have given up 51 and 59 in their last two. I get these two offenses are both missing their starting quarterbacks, but this total is way to low for the talent defensively. Bet the OVER 54.5! 

20* GIANTS/49ERS MNF VEGAS SHARP TOP PLAY on 49ers -3 -115

My money is on the 49ers to cash in a win and cover laying only a field goal at home against the Giants. I'm just not buying that this is going to be the game that New York finally plays up to their potential. Until they get better talent on the offensive line and part ways with Eli Manning, this team is going to disappoint. I also think the 49ers might have found something special in Nick Mullens, who shined in his first NFL start. I get it was against the Raiders, but you can tell there's something there and that's why the 49ers are starting him again instead of going back to C.J. Beathard. Bet San Francisco -3! 

20* PATRIOTS/TITANS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Titans +7 -110

My money is on the Titans to cash in as a touchdown underdog at home against the Patriots. No team is better at winning ugly than Tennessee, which also makes them a difficult team to back against the spread. It's why they continue to be undervalued and come in with a 5-2 ATS mark over their last 7 games. Patriots on the other hand are one of the biggest public plays on the board week in and week out. That won't change this Sunday, as NE comes in having covered 3 straight and 5 of their last 6. Pats won't have Gronkowski and have a number of other key guys banged up. Look for Tennessee to hang around and maybe even pull off the upset. Bet Titans +7! 

20* ULM/S ALABAMA SUN BELT PLAY OF THE MONTH on South Alabama +5½ +110

My money is on the Jaguars as a slim 5.5-point home dog to ULM. South Alabama has had about as tough a start as you could draw up to conference play in the Sun Belt. After winning their conference opener against Texas State they have had to play Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Troy and Arkansas State. They are just 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS in their last 6, which is why we are getting value here with them. Look for South Alabama to win this one outright. Bet the Jaguars +5.5! 

15* NEW MEXICO/AIR FORCE CFB SHARP PLAY on New Mexico vs Air Force under 56½ -105

My money is on the UNDER 56.6 in Saturday's MWC action that has Air Force hosting New Mexico. Both these teams love to run the football. The Falcons come in averaging 57 rush attempts per game and 241 ypg. The Lobos rush it an average of 43 times/game. On the flip side of this we have two defenses that have been pretty good at stopping the run. This should lead to a lot of long possessions and a lot lower-scoring game than the books are calling for. Bet the UNDER 56.5! 

15* TCU/W VIRGINIA CFB SHARP PLAY on TCU +12½ -110

My money is on the Horned Frogs to keep it closer than expected on the road against the Mountaineers. The pressure is mounting on West Virginia and that makes this a really dangerous game for the Mountaineers. TCU hasn't been playing well and it will be easy for West Virginia to look past them with what looks like much tougher opponents on deck with Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. As bad the Horned Frogs have looked, I got a lot of confidence in Gary Patterson getting everything he has out of his players and if the TCU defense shows up, they might pull of the upset. This will be the best defense that the Mountaineers have faced since Iowa State and that Cyclones defense basically shut them down. Either way, this should be low-scoring and that makes the points that much more valuable. Bet TCU +12.5! 

15* MARYLAND/INDIANS CFB SHARP PLAY on Maryland +1 -110

My money is on the Terps to cash in a win on the road against Indiana and turn a lot of turmoil into a positive with their 6 win to get to bowl eligibility. Not to mention the books are begging you to take the Hoosiers at less than a field goal favorite at home. Maryland doesn't have much of a passing attack and have really struggled against top tier defenses like they did last week with Michigan State. I just don't think Indiana is on that level, as the Hoosiers have allowed 30+ in each of their last 4 games including 38 last time out against a pretty average at best Minnesota offense. Bet Maryland +1! 

20* LOUISVILLE/SYRACUSE ACC PLAY OF THE MONTH on Syracuse -20 -109

My money is on the Orange to cash in an easy win and cover at home against Louisville. Syracuse comes in to this game averaging 43.3 ppg (46.8 ppg at home) and will be facing a Cardinals defense that just allowed 77 to Clemson in their last game and 56 the week before to Wake Forest. They also gave up 66 not that long ago at home to Georgia Tech. They lost all 3 of those by at least 21 points and I could see them losing by a lot more than that, as I think Syracuse is going to be out to get some revenge from the lopsided losses Lamar Jackson handed this Orange team the last two years. Bet Syracuse -20! 

20* PANTHERS/STEELERS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Panthers +5 -110

My money is on the Panthers to cash in a cover here as a decently priced road dog against the Steelers. Pittsburgh appears to have righted the ship with 4 straight wins, but 3 of those came within their division and the other was against a Falcons team that has disappointed. I know the defensive numbers have been great the past few games, but I'm just not sold on that defense magically being fixed. I think Cam Newton and this efficient Carolina offense will expose them on a short week. I'll take the points as insurance, but I think the Panthers will win this one outright. Bet Carolina +5! 

15* WAKE FOREST/NC STATE CFB SHARP PLAY on NC State -18 -105

My money is on NC State to easily cash in a cover as a big home favorite against Wake Forest. Demons Deacons might have the worst defense in the ACC and that's not a good thing for them. The Wolfpack come in having scored 40+ in back-to-back games and you have to believe that senior quarterback Ryan Finley is going to want to put on a show in his final home game. Wake Forest lost starting QB Sam Hartman and are going with a redshirt sophomore who has next to no experience and will be forced to throw with how good the Wolfpack are against the run. Bet NC State -18

15* TOLEDO/N ILLINOIS CFB SHARP PLAY on Toledo +3 +100

My money is on the Rockets to cover the 3-point spread against the Huskies. I just think this like begging you take Northern Illinois, as they are at home and have the better resume to this point. Defense can carry teams to a certain point, but good offenses can score against any defense. Toledo is averaging 41.2 ppg and nearly 6.3 yards/play. Northern Illinois is averaging 19.2 ppg and 4.2 yards/play. So much has to go right for the Huskies to win this game. Bet Toledo +3! 

20* KENT ST/BUFFALO CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Kent State +22½ -109

My money is on the Golden Eagles to cash in as a massive 22.5-point underdog against the Bulls. Buffalo is simply way overvalued right now, as they are not only 8-1 SU on the season, but they have gone 7-2 ATS, covering each of their last 4. Kent State is not a team the public will be looking to back, but they have covered 3 of 4 and I believe are catching Buffalo in a great spot. The only thing in the way of the Bulls securing the MAC East title is a win next week at Ohio. Even a loss here and a win over the Bobcats and they are division champs. I'm not saying Buffalo will lose, I just think a less than 100% focused Bulls team will struggle to create the kind of separation needed to cover this big number. Bet Kent State +22.5! 

20* TITANS/COWBOYS MNF SHARP TOP PLAY on Titans +5½ -109

My money is on the Titans to cash in as a decently priced road dog against the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. No secret that Dallas is a big public team and the books know the public will be all over the Cowboys against this Titans team. As ugly as Tennessee can look at times, they just always seem to find a way to hang around and keep games close. All 3 of the Titans wins are by 3-points and 3 of their losses are by a touchdown or less, including 2 by a single-point. With not many points expected to be scored, the 5.5 is that much more valuable. Bet Titans +5.5! 

25* NFL NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR on Bills +10 -105

My money is on the Bills to cash in as a 10-point dog against the Bears. The books have  completely jacked this line knowing the public will not take Buffalo. I like Chicago, but let's keep in mind the Patriots were a 13.5-point favorite at Buffalo last week. Chicago is not on Tom Brady and Bill Belichick status. Bears offense is still a work in progress and the defense won have All-Pro Khalil Mack to disrupt the other teams offense. Look for the Bills to keep it closer than expected. Bet Buffalo +10! 

15* UTAH ST/HAWAII CFB SHARP PLAY on Hawaii +19 -110

My money is on Hawaii to cash in an easy cover as a 19-point home dog to Utah State. The Aggies have surprised a lot of people by going 7-1 to start the year and a good chunk of the betting public has been riding this team week after week, as they are also 7-1 ATS. It's to that point in the season where you want to start thinking about jumping off the teams that have been cover machines. I think that spot is right now for Utah State. I'm not saying they don't win, but Hawaii has the offense to make a game of it and a lot of teams struggle to play up to their potential when they have to travel to Hawaii (time difference). Bet the Rainbow Warriors +19! 

20* PENN ST/MICHIGAN CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Michigan -10 -110

My money is on Michigan -10 at home against Penn State. The Nittany Lions are off a lucky win over Iowa and a hard fought win at Indiana. This team is fortunate to have not lost 4 straight and I think the number here wouldn't seem so far off if they had. Penn State just doesn't have a ton left to play for, as they came into this season with some lofty expectations. Michigan has the Big Ten title and playoff spot staring them in the face. Wolverines are off a bye and will be 100% ready to in this one. They have got revenge in their last two against Wisconsin and Michigan State in blowout fashion and will do the same here. Bet Michigan -10! 

15* TULANE/S FLORIDA CFB SHARP PLAY on Tulane +7½ -115

My money is on the Green Wave as a 7.5-point dog in Saturday's AAC action that has them visiting South Florida. I wasn't surprised to see USF lose the way they did to Houston last week. This team's 7-0 start was a joke. They hadn't played anybody and were very fortunate against bad teams. I don't think they are just going to bounce back from the loss to the Cougars. I think if anything they struggle to get up after that poor showing as they have to come to grips with the fact that they aren't as good as they thought. Bet Tulane +7.5! 

15* LIBERTY/UMASS CFB SHARP PLAY on Liberty +3 -120

My money is on Liberty to cash in a winning ticket as a 3-point dog to UMass. the Flames have been a can't miss story in college football and I think they keep the magical first season as a FBS-member going with another upset win. This time taking down the Minutemen. UMass snuck out a 5-point win over UConn, which tells you how bad they are, because the Huskies are atrocious. Bet Liberty! 

15* IOWA/PURDUE CFB SHARP PLAY on Iowa vs Purdue under 51½ -110

My money is on the UNDER 51.5 in Saturday's Big Ten action that has Purdue hosting Iowa. I know these two offenses have both had some high-scoring outputs, but I just think both are going to really bring the intensity off losses last week. Iowa has the goods defensively to slow down any team in the country. The Hawkeyes offense has been hit or miss, but I think they struggle to get going on the road, especially with Stanley either not playing or playing at less than 100%. Bet the UNDER 51.5! 

20* PITT/VIRGINIA ACC TOTAL OF THE MONTH on Pittsburgh vs Virginia over 48 -105

My money is on the OVER 48 in Friday's ACC action that has Virginia hosting Pittsburgh. I know Virginia has a great defense, but it just doesn't take a lot for a college game to see 49 points. Pittsburgh just gave up 45 at home to Duke in their last game, so it's not out of the question that Virginia could eclipse this total on their own. Bet the OVER 48! 

15* RAIDERS/49ERS NFL SHARP PLAY on Raiders vs 49ers under 47½ -110

My money is on the UNDER 47.5 in tonight's Thursday Night Football matchup between the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers. I think the whole 'Battle of the Bay' does add a little something extra to this game. I know both defense haven't been great, but both of these are down to scraps offensively. San Francisco may be without C.J. Beathard here and have to turn to a guy that hasn't played a real NFL snap. Oakland just traded away wide out Amari Cooper and Marshawn Lynch is out with an injury. I just think this will be a sloppy game with neither team being able to sustain drives. Bet the UNDER 47.5! 

20* OHIO/W MICH MAC GAME OF THE MONTH on Ohio +2½ -110

My money is on the Bobcats to cash in a win on the road over Western Michigan. The Broncos are coming off a 51-24 loss at home to Toledo and in the process lost their starting quarterback. I just don't see them being able to compete without Wassink. Ohio has won 4 of their last 5 with the only loss by 3-points at N. Illinois. They have rushed for over 800 yards in their last 2 games and Western Michigan is giving up 4.7 yards/carry. Bet the Bobcats +2.5! 

20* BALL ST/TOLEDO CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Ball State +18½ -105

My money is on the Cardinals to keep it close enough to cover the big spread on the road against the Rockets. I just think we are getting a great price here on Ball State, as the books have completely over-adjusted this line with the Cardinals losing starting quarterback Riley Neal. I look for Ball State to come out with a chip on their shoulder and catch Toledo potentially looking past this game off the big win against Western Michigan and an even bigger game on deck at Northern Illinois. Cardinals have covered 13 of their last 17 road games after failing to cover 3 of their previous 4. Bet Ball State +18.5! 

15* MIAMI/BUFFALO CFB SHARP PLAY on Miami-OH vs Buffalo under 51½ +102

My money is on the UNDER 51.5 in Tuesday's big MAC showdown between Buffalo and Miami, OH. This is a huge game in the MAC East. Buffalo currently leads the division at 4-0, but the Miami is sitting 1-game back at 3-1 (tied with Ohio). Both teams have had extra time to prepare for this one and both are really strong on the defensive side of the ball. Buffalo ranks 26th in the country in total defense and Miami is 38th. I know the two quarterbacks are talented, but I just think both are going to find it hard to move the ball, at least to the point where they score more than this number. Bet the UNDER 51.5! 

20* PATS/BILLS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Bills +14 -105

My money is on the Bills to cash in a cover as a 14-point home division dog to the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. The perception couldn't be much worse on Buffalo right now, but I expect them to treat this game like it's their Super Bowl. The defense has been playing well and if they can slow down this Pats offense, they should cover here no problem, as the offense figures to have one of it's better days against a soft New England defense that has struggled to stop both the run and the pass. Bet the Bills +14! 

20* EAGLES/JAGUARS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Jaguars +3½ -110

20* FIU/W KENTUCKY C-USA GAME OF THE MONTH on FIU vs Western Kentucky under 54½ -110

My money is on the UNDER 54.5 in Saturday's C-USA matchup that has FIU visiting Western Kentucky. UNDER has cashed in 5 of FIU's 7 games this season, including a perfect 2-0 mark when they are the road team. FIU's defense is giving up just 22.9 ppg and 375 ypg. They should be able to slow down a WKU offense that is only averaging 20.1 ppg and scoring almost a touchdown less on average than what their opponent allows. FIU averages a healthy 35.9 ppg, but it's come against a bunch of bad defenses. Look for them to struggle to get the offense going on the road against a decent Hilltoppers defense. Bet the UNDER 54.5! 

15* NEW MEXICO ST/TEXAS ST CFB SHARP PLAY on New Mexico St vs Texas St over 54½ -110

My money is on the OVER 54.5 in Saturday's action that has Texas State hosting New Mexico State. OVER is 6-1 in the Aggies last 7 games. The average combined score in New Mexico State's last 3 games is 91 points (52-39). Don't be worried about the Bobcats offensive woes. They could easily score 30+ against this Aggies defense. Note that the OVER is 30-6 (83%) over the last 10 seasons when you have a total of 49.5 to 56 with a game that features two bad rushing teams (100-140 yards/game) in a non-conference matchup. Bet the OVER 54.5! 

15* WISCONSIN/NORTHWESTERN CFB SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin -6½ -110

My money is on the Badgers to win by at least a touchdown on the road against Northwestern. I just feel like the Wildcats are the trending underdog pick here and that's not typically when the upsets happen. Wisconsin is one of the best teams in the country and I liked how they responded from their ugly loss to Michigan with a blowout win over Illinois. That defense is going to be too much for a very limited Northwestern offense to overcome and we have seen the Wildcats defense give up more than 200 yards on the ground twice already this season. Bet the Badgers -6.5! 

15* VANDERBILT/ARKANSAS CFB SHARP PLAY on Vanderbilt vs Arkansas under 53 -115

My money is on the UNDER 53 in Saturday's SEC clash between Vanderbilt and Arkansas. These just aren't great offensive teams. Arkansas is only averaging 27.7 ppg and Vanderbilt is even worse at 23.1. The Commodores offense gets even worse on the road, where it's only putting up 12.3 ppg. UNDER is 15-6-1 in Vanderbilt's last 22 road games and 5-0 in their last 5 road games against a team with a losing home record. Bet the UNDER 53!

20* WYOMING/COLO ST MWC GAME OF THE MONTH on Wyoming +2½ -110

My money is on Wyoming to cash in the win and cover on the road against the Rams. Wyoming has had a tough time adjusting to life without Josh Allen at quarterback, as they are just 2-6 to start the year. The offense has really been the problem, as the defense has played way better than you would expect for a team with just 2 wins at this point in the season. I think Colorado State is a team they can move the ball against, as they are giving up 37.7 ppg and 448 ypg. At the same time, I think the Cowboys defense can keep the Rams offense in check. Bet Wyoming +2.5! 

20* DOLPHINS/TEXANS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Dolphins +7 -110

My money is on the Dolphins to cash in a cover as a touchdown dog against the Texans on Thursday Night Football. No one is giving Miami a shot in this game with Brock Osweiler starting at quarterback and a bunch of other injuries on the offensive side. I just think crazy things can happen in these Thursday games. The Texans have not looked good at all offensively and could find it hard to get up for this one off the big win at Jacksonville to take control of the AFC South. Look for Miami to keep it closer than expected and maybe even win outright. Bet the Dolphins +7!

20* GA TECH/VA TECH CFB SHARP TOP PLAY on Virginia Tech -3 -115

My money is on the Hokies as a small 3-point home favorite agains the Yellow Jackets. I love the price here with Virginia Tech at home off a bye and needing to play well after not looking great in their last two. They should have lost at UNC last time out, but stole the game late, which I think could do wonders for this team and getting back their confidence after that ugly loss to Notre Dame. Getting extra time to prepare for the triple-option is huge and no question the Hokies want this one after losing the last two in the series. Bet Virginia Tech -3! 

20* TROY/S ALABAMA SUN BELT PLAY OF THE MONTH on Troy -12½ -109

My money is on the Trojans to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Jaguars. Troy is coming off an ugly loss at Liberty as a 10.5-point favorite and are in a prime bounce back spot against a bad South Alabama team. The Jaguars are just 2-5 and are not a great offensive team (25.7 ppg) and have really struggled on the defensive side of the ball (39.3 ppg). South Alabama is giving up 5 yards/carry against the run and 8.7 yards/completion against the pass. Look for Troy to do whatever they want offensively and cruise to an easy road victory. Bet the Trojans -12.5! 

20* GIANTS/FALCONS MNF PLAY OF THE MONTH on Giants vs Falcons under 54 -110

My money is on the UNDER 54 on Monday Night Football in Week 7, which has the Giants hosting the Falcons. The public can't get enough of the OVER in this one, as close to 70% of the action is on that side. The books have more than adjusted and while there figures to be plenty of offense in this one, I don't see it going over the mark. UNDER is 31-10 in the last 41 NFL games where you have a team giving up 24 or more points/game after they have allowed 25 or more in each of their last 4. Bet the OVER 54! 

20* SAINTS/RAVENS NFL SHARP TOP PLAY on Ravens -2½ -115

My money is on the Ravens to cash in a win and cover at home against the Saints on Sunday. I just think this is an absolute gift from the books with Baltimore laying less than a field goal at home. New Orleans comes in at 4-1 and have won 4 straight, but could very easily be sitting with a losing record at 2-3. They should have lost at home to the Browns in Week 2 and needed a late score and OT to escape with a win at Atlanta in Week 3. Ravens have arguably the best defense in the NFL and with high winds expected in Baltimore, I think Drew Brees and that Saints offense are going to struggle to put up points. That's going to be a problem, because New Orleans' defense has taken a step back in 2018 and while far from explosive, the Ravens offense is better than it was a year ago. Bet Baltimore -2.5! 

15* NEVADA/HAWAII NCAAF SHARP PLAY on Nevada vs Hawaii over 66 -110

My money is on the OVER 66 in everyone's favorite bailout involving Hawaii. I just think the these two teams are going to hit 70 without a problem. Both of these teams have offenses that can get up and down the field. Nevada has scored 35+ twice this season and their offensive stats are skewed quite a bit because of 3 games already against the like of Vandy, Fresno St and Boise St. Hawaii has allowed 40+ three times and 30+ in four. The only teams they have held under 34 points are Rice, Army, Duquesne and Wyoming. While the Warriors defense is in trouble, they got a gem of a quarterback in Cole McDonald, who has already thrown for more than 2,300 yards and has 26 touchdowns to 3 interceptions. Nevada has the 105th ranked pass defense, giving up 262.3 ypg. Bet the OVER 66! 

25* MISS ST/LSU SEC GAME OF THE YEAR on Mississippi State +6½ -105

 My money is on Mississippi State to cover and maybe pull off a massive upset on the road against LSU. Everyone is buying into the Tigers after they laid it on Georgia 36-16 at home. No denying Orgeron knows how to get this team to play hard, but I have to wonder if they won't be running on empty after laying it all on the line the last two weeks against Florida and Georgia. Making matters worse, they will be up against a fresh Mississippi State team that is coming off a bye. The Bulldogs defense is legit and they have the defensive line to completely disrupt this LSU offense. I think Nick Fitzgerald and his mobility will be enough for Mississippi State to pull off the upset. Bet the Bulldogs +6.5

15* OREGON ST/CAL NCAAF SHARP PLAY on Oregon State +6½ -105

My money is on Oregon State to cover as a home dog against a struggling Cal team. I just don't like where this Cal team is headed and how they have responded to things not going their way. After losing at home to Oregon, they lost to a bad Arizona team on the road and followed that up by getting annihilated on their home field 37-7 by a UCLA team that hadn't won a game. Now they go on the road to face an Oregon State team that has lost 4 straight and a massive game on deck against Washington. I think we see Cal continue to play as poorly as they have and I think we get the best Oregon State has to offer at home in one of the few games they believe they can win. Bet the Beavers +6.5! 

15* NC STATE/CLEMSON NCAAF SHARP PLAY on Clemson -16 -115

My money is on the Crimson Tide to cash in a win and cover at home against NC State. I think this line is going to look like way too many points to a lot of people, but the books aren't stupid. They know the public is going to jump on an undefeated NC State team at this price, especially against a team like Clemson who just recently almost lost at home to Syracuse. The Wolfpack have a really good quarterback in Ryan Finley, but they are 5-0 because of their schedule. If they were 3-2 and unranked they might sneak up on Clemson, but that's not the case. The Tigers are going to be 100% locked in for this matchup, especially with this game very well a possible deciding factor in who wins the Atlantic Division in the ACC. I just don't think NC State can hang with the best Clemson has to offer. Bet the Tigers -16! 

15* OKLAHOMA/TCU NCAAF SHARP PLAY on TCU +8 -105

My money is on the Horned Frogs as a home dog against the Sooners. TCU has to be one of the best 3-3 team in the country. I know the loss at home to Texas Tech, where they scored just 14 points is hard to ignore, but we have seen this team play with Ohio State and my money is on Gary Patterson getting everything he can possible squeeze out of his players for this game. There's not many teams TCU would love to beat more than Oklahoma. Keep in mind the Sooners beat them twice last year, including that 41-17 beatdown in the Big 12 title game. I don't know if they will be able to get their revenge, but I like them to at worst keep this within a touchdown. Bet TCU +8! 

20* AIR FORCE/UNLV NCAAF SHARP TOP PLAY on Air Force vs UNLV under 58 -110

My money is on the UNDER 58 in Friday's Mountain West action that has UNLV hosting Air Force. This is the ideal matchup for a low-scoring game. Both of these teams are extremely one-dimensional offensively. Both want to run, run and run some more, as the passing game for both teams is atrocious. All that running is going to keep the clock moving, limit the number of possessions and lead to a much lower scoring game than the books are calling for. Bet the UNDER 58! 

20* BRONCOS/CARDINALS TNF SHARP TOP PLAY on Broncos -1½ -105

My money is on the Broncos to cash in as a small road favorite against the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football. While Arizona is every bit as bad as their 1-5 record would suggest, Denver is a much better team than their 2-4 record. John Elway has called out the team after losing 4 straight and I just don't think the Cardinals have the talent to compete here with a pissed off Broncos team that is better on both sides of the ball. Bet Denver -1.5! 

15* GEORGIA ST/ARKANSAS ST NCAAF SHARP PLAY on Arkansas State -14 -109

My money is on the Red Wolves to cash in a win and cover against the Panthers on Thursday. Big bounce back game for Arkansas State off that ugly loss to Appalachian State at home and in desperate need of a conference win after losing their first two. Georgia State is just the team to get right against. The Panthers aren't any good on offense and are giving up 45.7 ppg and 591 ypg on the road this season. Look for the Red Wolves to score early and often and completely blow this thing wide open. Bet Arkansas State -14! 

20* 49ERS/PACKERS MNF SHARP TOP PLAY on 49ers +9½ -109

My money is on the 49ers to cover the big number on the road against the Packers on Monday Night Football. Green Bay is simply getting too much love here at home, while San Francisco is way undervalued off that ugly loss to the Cardinals and due to the loss of starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. C.J. Beathard gets absolutely no respect, but has really thrown the ball well in his two starts since Garoppolo went down. Turnovers are what killed the 49ers last week against Arizona, as they had a -5 turnover differential. SF had a 447-220 edge in total yards and 33 first downs to the Cardinals 10. 49ers defense is also better than people realize and with Rodgers playing at less than 100%, I think SF can make a game of this and potentially even pull off the upset. Bet the 49ers +9.5! 

20* RAMS/BRONCOS NFL NON-CONF PLAY OF THE MONTH on Broncos +7 -115

My money is on the Broncos as a touchdown dog at home against the Rams. I really like Denver in this spot. The Broncos absolutely have to have this game after losing their last 3 and I believe they have the talent defensively to slow down this LA offense, which is going to also have to deal with the cold temp and thin air. Rams defense has been suspect of late and Denver's been moving the ball well, just haven't converted into points. Also a bit of a flat spot for LA off that emotional come-from-behind win at Seattle. Bet the Broncos +7! 

15* SEAHAWKS/RAIDERS NFL SHARP PLAY on Seahawks -3 -101

My money is on the Seahawks to cash in a win over the Raiders in London. The first year under head coach Jon Gruden couldn't have started much worse. Oakland is 1-4 and when they aren't getting completely outplayed they find ways to beat themselves. Seattle is a team a lot of people wrote-off, but as long as Russell Wilson is healthy, this team will be competitive. They should have beat the Rams last week and I just think they treat this more like a business trip, where the Raiders are basically already playing for next season. Oakland is just 1-8 ATS in their last 9 vs a team that is completing a mere 61% of their pass attempts and Seahawks are 16-6 in their last 22 after scoring 30+ points. Bet Seattle -3! 

15* WEST VIRGINIA/ISU NCAAF SHARP PLAY on West Virginia -6 -110

My money is on the Mountaineers to make the difficult trip to Ames and not just win, but cover the near touchdown spread against the Cyclones. I know ISU just won outright as a double-digit road dog at Oklahoma State, but I'm not sold on the Cowboys being anything special this season. Don't get me wrong, I like Matt Campbell and this ISU team, I just think West Virginia is the real deal with that high-powered offense behind Will Grier and those weapons on the outside. Cyclones struggled to slow down Oklahoma's passing attack (21-29, 348 yards) and will have their hands full here. Keep in mind we have already see the Mountaineers go on the road and knock off a good Texas Tech team 42-34. Bet West Virginia -6! 

15* NEW MEXICO ST/COLO ST NCAAF SHARP PLAY on New Mexico vs Colorado State over 65½ -109

My money is on the OVER 65.5 in Saturday's Mountain West clash between New Mexico and Colorado State. Both teams should have no problem putting points on the board, as these two defenses aren't very good. The Lobos come in giving up 33.2 ppg, 447 ypg and 6.0 yards/play. It's even worse for the Rams, who are giving up 38.0 ppg, 469 ypg and 6.9 yards/play. Both these team can score. New Mexico has scored 40+ in 4 of their 5 games this season and Colorado St just put up 42 on San Jose State. Bet the OVER 65.5! 

15* TEMPLE/NAVY NCAAF SHARP PLAY on Navy +7 -115

My money is on the Midshipmen to cash in a cover as a touchdown dog at home to Temple. The Owls are way overvalued here. Temple just won by 43 over East Carolina and have covered 4 straight. Navy on the other hand has failed to cover 3 straight and off an ugly loss to  Air Force. Big bounce back spot for the Midshipmen and they will also be out for revenge against Temple. Navy is 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 home games and 8-3 in their last 11 after scoring 20 points or less in their previous game. Bet Navy +7! 

20* OKLAHOMA ST/ K-STATE BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH on Oklahoma State vs Kansas State over 60½ -110

My money is on the OVER 60.5 in Saturday's Big 12 action between Oklahoma State and Kansas State. There's just something about when these two teams face off that ends up resulting in a shootout. Last year the two combined for 85 in a 45-40 K-State win. The previous year they combined for 80 and have hit at least 62 points in each of the last 7 meetings. OVER is also 18-6 in the Cowboys last 24 as a favorite and 14-4 in the Wildcats last 18 at home with a total of 56.5 to 63. Bet OVER 60.5! 

20* USF/TULSA AAC GAME OF THE MONTH on South Florida -7 +101

My money is on the Bulls to cash in the win and cover on the road against the Golden Hurricane. Tulsa is better than their 1-4 record would lead you to believe, but they are getting way to much respect here against a good USF team that is going to be highly motivated to deliver a signature performance in their real chance to showcase their talents on a big stage. Tulsa has done a great job of keeping games closer than they should, but more times than not they are digging themselves big holes. This Golden Hurricane offense also can't be trusted, as they have a 16 turnovers in 5 games. I also think Tulsa will struggle with the speed and athleticism of this Bulls team. USF offense should also score at will, as they are averaging 212.4 rushing yards/game and will be up against ta Golden Hurricane defense that ranks 110th agains the run, giving up 207.4 ypg. Bet USF -7! 

20* EAGLES/GIANTS NFC EAST GAME OF THE MONTH on Eagles -3 +100

My money is on the Eagles to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Giants. It's been an ugly start for the defending champs, but Carson Wentz is quickly returning to that MVP form from last year and I expect Philadelphia to get right here in prime time against a bad Giants team. New York played well at Carolina last week and while they only lost by 2-points, they trailed by double-digits in the 4th quarter. The better team with the better quarterback will prevail in this one. Bet the Eagles -3! 

15* TEXAS TECH/TCU NCAAF SHARP PLAY on Texas Tech vs TCU under 64 -110

My money is on the UNDER 64 in Thursday's Big 12 clash between TCU and Texas Tech. Both teams are dealing with injuries at the quarterback position. TCU starter Shawn Robinson is expected to play, but may not start and figures to be limited. The Red Raiders lost starter McLane Carter in the opener and backup Alan Bowman, who was playing exceptional, is doubtful after suffering a collapsed lung. That's going to make it tough for Tech to move the ball against an elite TCU defense, especially on the road. As for the Horned Frogs' offense, I haven't been all that impressed with them and while it's far from great, this a better Red Raiders defense than last year. UNDER has cashed each of the last year and really hasn't been close. Bet the UNDER 64!
