10-27-19 | Panthers v. 49ers -5.5 | Top | 13-51 | Win | 100 | 46 h 58 m | Show |
Take San Francisco. This is my NFC GOM. Game 270. 1:05 pm pst. Both teams have emerged to be NFC powerhouses. Both offenses are impressive. But, the big difference here is on the defensive side of the ball where San Francisco's fast and ferocious stop-unit lads the NFC in points allowed (second overall, 10.2 PPG). Carolina', Kyle Allen has done well in Cam Newton's absence. However, the second year quarterback has not had to face a "D" like he will here. Another key mismatch is with the NFL's second ranked rushing attack of the 49ers going up against the League's 23rd ranked run defense of the Panthers. The favorite is 7-3 ATS the last 10 meetings in this series. Take San Francisco. Thank you. |

10-27-19 | Bucs +2.5 v. Titans | 23-27 | Loss | -101 | 43 h 3 m | Show | |
Take Tampa Bay. This is my BB. Game 253. 10:00 am pst. Tampa is a lot better than their record as they are one of the highest scoring teams in the NFL (28.8 PPG). No matter who is at the helm, Tennessee has problems putting points on the board. They won't be able to run the ball against the NFL's top-ranked run defense. The Bucs had a week off to think about their last two outings (both losses), rest, and prepare. Tampa Bay is 4-1-1 ATS the last six on the road. Tennessee is 0-4-1 ATS the last five at home. Take the Buccaneers. Thank you. |

10-27-19 | Broncos v. Colts -4 | Top | 13-15 | Loss | -115 | 43 h 47 m | Show |
Take Indianapolis. This is my AFC GOM. Game 272. 10:00 am pst. HOT SEAT ALERT: Rumors surround the future of John Elway, Vic Fangio, and Joe Flacco in Denver. No surprise there. Someone that isn't on the hot seat is Jacoby Brissett. The quarterback (1,388 yards passing, 65.0 percent completion rate, 14/3) has Colts fans saying, "Andrew who?" Indianapolis has taken control of the AFC South by no accident. They are playing solid football. The Colts have dominated the Broncos, going 9-2 ATS the last 11 meetings, including 6-1 ATS the last seven at home. Overall, Indy has gotten the bettors paid, going 4-0 ATS the last four games played in the month of October, 6-2-1 ATS the last seven games played vs. the AFC, and 4-1-1 ATS this season. Take the Colts. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Clippers -9 v. Suns | 122-130 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Take LAC. This is my LVSM. Game 569. 7:05 pm pst. The NBA's highest touted team takes on its lowest in this matchup. LA, which is 2-0 both SU and ATS, had a day off to rest and prepare. Phoenix played an exhausting OT game last night in Denver and will be tired here. Paul George (out) does not need to be in the lineup tonight, because Kawhi Leonard is. The Clippers are the #1 scoring team (126..5 PPG) and the #1 shooting team, hitting 57.1% from the floor. LA is 7-1 ATS the last eight meetings in this series. Take the CLIPPERS. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Memphis -10 v. Tulsa | Top | 42-41 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 22 m | Show |
Take Memphis. This is my AAC GOM. Game 117. 4:00 pm pst. Memphis won and covered the last two meetings with Tulsa by a combined, 88-35. The Tigers enter this contest 6-1 overall. However, they are tied for third in the AAC West. They need every conference win they can get right now. They face a Tulsa squad that is 0-3 ATS at home this season. This is a mismatch on both sides of the ball. Look for quarterback, Brady White (1,884 yards passing, 70.3 percent completion rate, 18/4) and running back, Kenneth Gainwell (830 yards rushing, eight TD's) to shred the 97th ranked (31.0 PPG allowed) of the Golden Hurricanes. The road team is 7-1 ATS the last eight meetings in this series. Memphis is 8-2 ATS the last 10 conference games. Tulsa is 3-8 ATS the last 11 home games. Take the Tigers. Thank you. |

10-26-19 | Western Kentucky +5 v. Marshall | 23-26 | Win | 100 | 21 h 45 m | Show | |
Take Western Kentucky. This is my STL play. Game 149. 11:30 pm pst. Marshall, Marshall, Marshall is in real trouble here as they face an extremely tough defense, defense, defense. Western Kentucky owns the nation's 17th ranked "D", yielding a mere, 17.9 PPG. The Hilltoppers are equally strong against the pass and the run. They are on a four-game win and cover streak, holding those foes to only, 9.5 PPG. The Thundering Herd are a rushing team behind running back, Brenden Knox (719 yards rushing, seven TD's). But so was the Black Knights of Army which mustered just eight points on 137 yards rushing. Western Kentucky is 5-0 ATS the last five games played vs. Marshall and 6-0 ATS the last six games played vs. conference opponents. Marshall is 0-5 ATS the last five games played at home and 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. conference opponents. Take the Hilltoppers. Thank you. |

10-26-19 | Ohio v. Ball State -2.5 | 34-21 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 10 m | Show | |
Take Ball State. This is my TD play. Game 176. 11:00 am pst. Ball State enters this matchup winning three in a row SU and the last four ATS against the likes of NC State, NIU, EMU, and Toledo. Ohio has crushed bettors, riding a four-game no cover streak en route to a dismal, 1-6 ATS mark this season. The Bobcats have no defense, ranking 102nd vs. the pass, 107th vs. the rush, and 95 in points allowed (30.7 PPG). The Cardinals are a very healthy and capable team on both sides of the ball. Look for quarterback, Drew Pitt (1,868 yards passing, 65.7 percent completion rate, 16/6) and his talented receiving corps to light it up while running back, Caleb Huntley (711 yards rushing, five TD's) keeps the Ohio "D: honest. Ball State is 4-1 ATS the last five conference games. Ohio is 0-4 ATS the last four conference games. Take the Cardinals. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-23-19 | Wolves v. Nets -3.5 | 127-126 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Take Brooklyn. This is my TIP OFF WINNER. Game 516. 4:35 pm pst. Brooklyn's, Kyrie Irving has plenty of support while Minnesota didn't really have any luck bringing in any major talent. The Nets have to come out strong and make a statement to the rest of the teams in the East. The home team is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. Brooklyn is 4-0 ATS the last four vs. the West. Minnesota is 2-8 ATS the last 10 vs. the East. Take the Nets. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-20-19 | Texans +1 v. Colts | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -100 | 70 h 60 m | Show |
Take Houston. This is my AFC SOUTH GOM. Game 453. 10;00 am pst. Houston is playing some very solid football and enter this contest with confidence after a 31-24 outright win (as a 3.5-point 'dog) over Kansas City last week. Indy too, beat KC two weeks ago and comes in following a bye week. Jacoby Brissett has played well since the departure of Andrew Luck. However, the off week should have the newly named starter a bit rusty. The Colts depend solely on the running game which poses a big issue as they go up against the NFL's 8th ranked run defense. Offensively, Houston (10th passing, 5th rushing, 8th scoring) won't have any problems moving the chains. The 1-2 punch of Deshaun Watson and Carlos Hyde are going to put up points. The road team is 8-1-2 ATS the last 11 meetings in this series. The Texans are 6-2-1 ATS the last nine games played on the road and 8-3-1 ATS the last 12 games played vs. the AFC. Take the Texans. Thank you. |

10-20-19 | Vikings -1 v. Lions | Top | 42-30 | Win | 100 | 70 h 55 m | Show |
Take Minnesota. This is my NFC NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH. Game 457. 10:00 am pst.
Kudos to the Detroit Lions for covering four straight. But, the party ends here. It will be hard enough for the team playing on a short week, but mentally coming back from a controversial MNF, 1-point loss to division rival, Green Bay Packers, will be fatal. They don't possess the toughest offensive line. In comes the ferocious pass rush and one of the stingiest stop-units in football (6th, 15.5 PPG allowed) of the Minnesota Vikings. Detroit has no defense whatsoever. Minny quarterback, Kirk Cousins has silenced the critics (1,374 yards passing, 69.7 percent completion rate, 9/3). But, it will be the legs of running back, Dalvin Cook (583 yards rushing, six TD's) and the third-ranked rushing unit in the NFL that will take this game over and run with it (no pun intended LOL). The Vikings are 4-1 ATS the last five games played at the Lions and 17-8-3 ATS the last 28 overall games vs. the Lions. Take the Vikings. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-19-19 | Boise State -7 v. BYU | 25-28 | Loss | -107 | 56 h 57 m | Show | |
Take Boise State. This is my MISMATCH GOM. game 355. 7:15 pm pst.
Boise State has had their way with BYU, taking the last three in this series, including a 24-7 win and cover in Provo, two years ago. The Cougars starting quarterback, Zach Wilson is out and backup, Jaren Hall (check status) is listed as questionable with concussion-like symptoms. This is a team riding a three-game loss and no cover slide, dropping five of the last six as a home 'dog. Undefeated BSU (6-0 SU, 4-1-1 ATS) should see the return of Hank Bachmeier. But, even if the quarterback doesn't go, backup, Chase Cord (295 yards passing, 6/0) will step in nicely to lead the 11th ranked passing unit in the nation. Look for the Broncos tandem of ball-carriers, Robert Mahome and George Holani (741 yards rushing, six TD's combined) to trample the 123rd ranked run defense of the Cougars. Take Boise State. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-19-19 | Kentucky v. Georgia -24.5 | Top | 0-21 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 29 m | Show |
Take Georgia. This is my STL play. Game 376. 3:00 pm pst.
I really do feel bad for Kentucky here. Georgia comes off their first loss of the season, dropping seven spots in the polls. Last week's 20-17 defeat at the hands of South Carolina is going to motivate them this week. They will take out their frustrations and make a statement to the pollsters. The Bulldogs have won nine straight in this series, going 7-2 ATS, covering the last six meetings. The Wildcats are forced to go with Lynn Bowden Jr. (a converted wide receiver) at quarterback, due to injuries. This is not a very good offense (99th, 23.5 PPG) to begin with and now they face the stout, Bulldogs seventh-ranked stop-unit (12.3 PPG allowed). Expect quarterback, Jake Fromm (70.4 percent completion rate, 1,371 yards passing, 9/3) to bounce back in a big way after the worst performance of his collegiate career. The Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS the last seven vs. conference opponents. Take Georgia. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-19-19 | Missouri -20.5 v. Vanderbilt | 14-21 | Loss | -110 | 49 h 9 m | Show | |
Take Missouri. This is my NO LIMIT. Game 407. 1:00 pm pst. Missouri has rattled off five consecutive wins, cashing in for the bettors in four of the five ATS. They face one of the few remaining teams in college football that have yet to cover this season. That's right, Vanderbilt (1-5 SU) is 0-6 ATS in 2019, being outscored by an average of 18.6 PPG. Not only has the Tigers offense moved the ball with authority (38.8 PPG) behind quarterback, Kelly Bryant, but they own the 11th ranked stop-unit in the nation (15.8 PPG allowed). The Commodores took a 34-10 beat down at home last week vs. the 113th ranked, Rebels of UNLV. They are outclassed on both sides of the ball in this matchup. Mizzou is the only team in the SEC East undefeated in conference play. They must earn style points, running up the score against lesser foes. The Tigers are 9-3 ATS the last 12 games played vs. teams with a losing record and 4-0 ATS the last four games played following an ATS loss. The Commodores are 0-5 ATS the last five games played at home and 0-7 ATS the last seven games played overall. Take Missouri. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-19-19 | LSU -17 v. Mississippi State | Top | 36-13 | Win | 100 | 49 h 50 m | Show |
Take LSU. This is my SEC GOM. Game 379. 12:30 pm pst.
The second-ranked Tigers own the nation's top-scoring offense (52.5 PPG) on the No. 2 passing unit in college football. They must keep their foot on the gas as they have the Aggies up next and the Crimson Tide in two weeks. They will beat up on a 3-3 (2-4 ATS) Mississippi State team that doesn't score too much (26.8 PPG) and just can't seem to stop anyone from reaching the end zone (27.2 PPG allowed). The key mismatch is Joe Burrow (2,157 yards passing, 79.6 percent completion rate, 25/3) and potent aerial attack of the Tigers going up against the 75th ranked pass defense of the Rebels.LSU is 9-3 ATS the last 12 at the Rebels, 4-0 ATS the last four on the road, and 12-4 ATS the last 16 vs. the SEC. Take LSU. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-19-19 | Florida -4.5 v. South Carolina | 38-27 | Win | 100 | 46 h 35 m | Show | |
Take Florida. This is my TOUCHDOWN PLAY. 9:00 am pst. If it weren't for LSU (42-23 loss and cover last week), Florida would be 7-0 this season. The Gators took last year's meeting, 35-31, rushing for 367 yards. this year, they have a better quarterback at the helm. South Carolina is in a huge "let down" spot after shocking Georgia, 20-17 last week, as a 20.5-point 'dog. To be honest, the Bulldogs had 30 first downs but turned the ball over four times. The Gamecocks 98th ranked pass "D" will get lit up here, while their offense is going to get shut down by the fast and furious, Gators 10th ranked stop-unit (14.1 PPG). Florida is 6-2 ATS the last eight on the road and 7-3 ATS the last 10 overall. Take the Gators. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-13-19 | Cowboys -7 v. Jets | Top | 22-24 | Loss | -105 | 71 h 17 m | Show |
Take Dallas. Game 269. 1:25 pm pst.
Dallas is a good team, but, they are not an NFL elite. The Cowboys started the season at 3-0, beating three nobodies (Giants, Redskins, Dolphins, a combined record of 2-12). They then played two solid teams in the Saints and Packers and lost and failed to cover both.Well, the 0-4 Jets most likely will see the return of quarterback, Sam Darnold and tight end, Chris Herndon (check status on both), but it won't matter. The New York "O" ranks 31st in scoring, 32nd in passing, and 30th in rushing. Look for Dak Prescott and company to exploit New York's doormat of a secondary and get back on track here. Dallas feeds on lower tier teams and it doesn't get much lower than their opponent here. The Cowboys are 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a losing record. The Jets are 1-5-1 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning record and 0-6-1 ATS the last seven games played at home. Take Dallas. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-13-19 | 49ers +3.5 v. Rams | Top | 20-7 | Win | 100 | 71 h 1 m | Show |
Take San Francisco. Game 265. 1:05 pm pst. A season ago, my opinion on this matchup would have been very different. But, this is 2019 and these two teams are in very different places right now. San Francisco owns the best running game in the NFL, the #2 scoring offense (31.8 PPG), and a top-five defense in every major category. Their defensive line is one of the most feared in the league and will go through the porous, offensive line of Los Angeles and get to the struggling, Jared Goff (7 TD/7 INT). With several linebackers out, including Clay Matthews, the Rams defense is going to get steamrolled by the top rushing tandem in football, running back's, Matt Brieda and Raheem Mostert (576 yards rushing combined). The 49ers are 5-2 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. Take San Francisco. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-13-19 | Seahawks -1 v. Browns | 32-28 | Win | 100 | 68 h 4 m | Show | |
Take Seattle. Game 255. 10:00 am pst. This line moved from a +2.5 to a -1.5. People are starting to take notice of Russell Wilson's extraordinary season (1409 YP, 73.1% CR, 12/0) and an offense that is putting points on the board. The Seahawks, which last played Thursday, October 3rd, catch the Browns on a short week, getting thumped on MNF, 31-3 at the 49ers. The Cleveland offense should see the return of a player or two but still only accounts for 18.4 PPG. Defensively, they have problems when facing solid rushing offenses and particularly, dual-threat QB's (AHEM). The Seahawks are 2-0 SU and ATS on the road in 2019 and are an overall, 7-1 ATS the last eight games played as a visitor. The Browns are 6-19-1 ATS the last 26 games played vs. teams with a winning record and 2-5 ATS the last seven games played at home. Take Seattle. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-13-19 | Panthers -1 v. Bucs | 37-26 | Win | 100 | 65 h 40 m | Show | |
Take Carolina. Game 251. 6:30 am pst. Since losing Cam Newton, Carolina has rattled off three straight wins and covers. Quarterback, Kyle Allen (677 YP, 5/0) and running back, Christian McCaffrey (587 YR, 6 TD's) have united to give the offense a huge spark. The Panthers lost the September 12th matchup and the Buccaneers have dropped two of three since (both SU and ATS). Tampa Bay isn't having any luck running the ball, thus leaving the offense in the hands of the "Jekyll & Hyde", Jameis Winston to face the NFL's 4th ranked pass defense. The Buccaneers are banged-up and might be missing some key cogs in the wheel. The road team is 8-3 ATS the last 11 meetings in this series. The Panthers are 5-1 ATS the last six games played at the Bucs. The Bucs are 1-8-1 ATS the last 10 game played in the month of October. Take Carolina. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-12-19 | Navy v. Tulsa | Top | 45-17 | Win | 100 | 51 h 13 m | Show |
Take Navy. Game 123. 4:30 pm pst. Navy has taken the last four in this matchup SU, going 3-1 ATS. The average margin of victory coming by 10.25 PPG. The Midshipmen come in here brimming with confidence as they bested Air Force, 34-25, a week ago. Tulsa may not recover after squandering a 30-9 lead in last week's exhausting, triple-OT loss at SMU (43-37). Last year's meetings saw Navy tally 395 yards rushing and now they have the addition of dual-threat quarterback, Malcolm Perry. They possess a monster "D" (24th vs. the pass, 14th vs. the run) that will contain the Tulsa one-dimensional offense. On the other side of the ball, the Golden Hurricanes 84th ranked run defense is going to be trampled by the nation's #1 rushing attack. The road team is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings in this series. The Midshipmen are 4-1 ATS the last five conference games and 6-1-1 ATS the last eight overall games. The Golden Hurricanes are 2-8 ATS the last 10 games following an ATS win and 3-7 ATS the last 10 home games. Take Navy. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-12-19 | Army -4.5 v. Western Kentucky | 8-17 | Loss | -104 | 50 h 20 m | Show | |
Take Army. Game 191. 4:00 pm pst.
This matchup certainly favors Army as Western Kentucky has no experience facing an option offense. The Black Knights possess the 8th ranked rushing attack in college football and will control the clock and keep the Hilltoppers defense on the field. Western Kentucky does not have an explosive offense (21.8 PPG, 76th passing and 126th rushing) and can not keep pace on the scoreboard here. Backup quarterback, Ty Storey (58.8% completion rate, 5/4) is in for a long day lining up against the tough, veteran pass defense (25th) of Army. The Black Knights are money to bettors, going 4-0 ATS the last four games following a SU loss and 6-0 ATS the last six games on the road. The Hilltoppers are 4-12 ATS the last 16 non-conference games and 1-5 ATS the last six October games. Take Army. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-12-19 | Georgia Tech v. Duke -17 | Top | 23-41 | Win | 100 | 44 h 5 m | Show |
Take Duke. Game 132. 9:30 am pst. Georgia Tech is point spread poison, failing to cover all five outings this season. As a matter of fact, the Yellow Jackets are riding an eight-game ATS cold streak. This is an offense (or lack thereof) that puts up a mere, 8.0 PPG on the road, where they are outscored by 30.0 PPG. After three consecutive wins and covers, Duke comes off a tough loss at home vs. Pitt. The Blue Devils are looking for a little redemption here for themselves and their fans in Durham against a team they have covered the last five meetings against. Dual-threat quarterback, Quentin Harris (1,007 yards passing, 11/4 in the air, 347 yards rushing, four TD's on the ground) will shred the soft defense of Georgia Tech, while the Blue Devil's stop-unit completely shuts down the Yellow Jackets "O". Georgia Tech is 2-7 ATS the last nine games vs. teams with a winning record and 3-7-1 ATS the last 11 games on the road. Duke is 4-0 ATS the last four games following an ATS loss and 5-2 ATS the last seven games following a SU loss. Take the Blue Devils. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-11-19 | Virginia +2.5 v. Miami-FL | 9-17 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 50 m | Show | |
Take Virginia. Game 109. 5:00 pm pst. Virginia comes in here off a bye, well-rested and prepared following their first loss of the season. This is a team that has covered five of the last six meetings in this series. They have faced and beaten such notables as Pitt and Florida State, while competing in their sole defeat to Notre Dame. Miami folds when facing good teams as they shown in losses to Florida, North Carolina, and even Virginia Tech. Their only victories came against Bethune Cookman and Central Michigan. The Virginia defense (21st vs. the pass, 17th vs. the rush) will shut down the one-dimensional, passing offense of Miami. The road team is 6-2 ATS the last eight meetings in this series. The Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS the last four games played at the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes are 2-7 ATS the last nine vs. conference foes. Take Virginia. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-06-19 | Broncos v. Chargers -6 | 20-13 | Loss | -109 | 43 h 2 m | Show | |
Take LAC. This is my HR. Game 472. 1:05 pm pst. Denver, at 0-4 this season is on an 0-8 SU and a 1-7 ATS run going back to last season. Their offense is non-existent and their defense has fallen by the waist side. They rank 30th vs. the rush and in comes Ekeler and Gordon. Look for the ground game to open up Phillip Rivers and the passing game. The Broncos are 8-21-1 ATS the last 30 vs. the AFC. Take the Chargers. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-06-19 | Bears -5 v. Raiders | Top | 21-24 | Loss | -100 | 40 h 19 m | Show |
Take Chicago. This is my NL. Game 453. 10:00 am pst. The Chicago Bears have rattled off three consecutive victories, mostly due to the NFL's #2 ranked defense (11.2 PPG allowed). It doesn't matter that Chase Daniel is at the helm. The backup quarterback was 22 of 30, for 194 yards passing, and 1/0 in last week's, 16-6 win and cover over Minnesota. Oakland, under Derek Carr can't pass the ball (26th) and just can't seem to cross the goal line (19.8 PPG). To contend with the ferocious Chicago defense, you must have both, a solid ground and a solid air attack. Carr is in for a very long day here.The Bears are 11-4 ATS the last 15 games played overall. The Raiders are 0-4 ATS the last four games played in the month of October. Take Chicago. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-06-19 | Bills +3 v. Titans | 14-7 | Win | 105 | 40 h 8 m | Show | |
Take Buffalo. This is my UOW. Game 469. 10:00 am pst. The Bills are money at 3-1 ATS (3-1 SU) and have a top-10 defense in every major category. They will shut down the lackluster, Titans offense. On the other side of the ball, Buffalo's fourth ranked rushing unit will control the tempo and the clock. The Bills are 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road, 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the AFC, and 5-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Take Buffalo. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-06-19 | Jaguars +3.5 v. Panthers | 27-34 | Loss | -117 | 40 h 2 m | Show | |
Take Jacksonville. This is my TD. Game 457. 10:00 am pst. Gordon Minshew and Leonard Fournette have rattled off two straight victories and three consecutive covers. Carolina has no offense whatsoever and no defense against the run. Giving the Jaguars 3.5 points is a gift here. The Panthers are 1-4 ATS the last five at home. Take the Jacksonville. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-05-19 | Rice v. UAB -10 | 20-35 | Win | 100 | 23 h 36 m | Show | |
Take UAB. This is my MISMATCH GOM. Game 360. 4:00 pm pst. UAB won and covered the last two years in this matchup, by a combined score of 94-21. They come off their first loss of the season and will seek some redemption here against a winless, Rice team. The Owls can not contend on either side of the ball in this mismatch. Rice is 0-4 ATS the last four at UAB. UAB is 13-3-1 ATS the last 17 at home. Take UAB. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-05-19 | Arizona +4 v. Colorado | 35-30 | Win | 100 | 20 h 29 m | Show | |
Take Arizona. This is my PAC 12 GOM. Game 343. 1:30 pm pst. Giving an Arizona team four points that is riding a three-game SU win streak and that has won and covered the last two meetings in this series, is a mistake. No matter who is at the helm, the Wildcats own top-25 passing and rushing units. Colorado gives up a lot of points. The road team is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. The Buffaloes are 1-5 ATS the last six conference games and 1-6 ATS the last seven games following a bye week. Take Arizona. Thank you. |
|||||||
10-05-19 | Auburn -2.5 v. Florida | 13-24 | Loss | -114 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Take Auburn. This is my TD play. Game 385. 12:30 pm pst. We see two of the SEC's five undefeated teams square off here. This is the first meeting since 2011, however, the Tigers covered all five matchups between 2001 and 2011, going 4-1 SU. Auburn counters Florida's stout defense with one of the nation's top rushing units. Despite owning the #5 defense in college football, the Gators are going to have a very tough time in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The Tigers possess NFL caliber offensive and defensive lines. Florida quarterback, Kyle Trask is lining up against his first real test and by far his fiercest "D". The Tigers are 6-0 ATS the last six overall games. The Gators are 1-4 ATS the last five conference games. Take Auburn. Thank you. |

10-05-19 | Iowa +4 v. Michigan | Top | 3-10 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 42 m | Show |
Take Iowa. This is my BIG TEN GOM. Game 355. 9:00 am pst.
Jim Harbaugh was supposed to start a dynasty when he took the head coaching job at Michigan in 2015. He won the Citrus Bowl in his first year. Since, the team has lost three consecutive Bowl games. His reputation as a big game coach is finished. Last week's victory over Rutgers was the team's first cover since the first week of November last year. Now they face an undefeated (4-0), Iowa team that has taken five of the last six meetings in this series SU. The Hawkeyes have a few things they haven't had in recent seasons, a big-time quarterback and a potent offense. Nate Stanley (965 yards passing, 8/0) is a real gunslinger. He also has the luxury of three 200+ yards rushers. The Wolverines defense is good, but does have problems with strong rushing attacks. On the flipside, the mediocre, Michigan offense is going to be in for a long day against the nation's #3 stop unit (8.5 PPG allowed). The underdog is 11-3 ATS the last 14 meetings in this series. Take Iowa. Thank you. |

10-04-19 | Central Florida -3.5 v. Cincinnati | 24-27 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Take UCF. This is my FNL. Game 307. 5:00 pm pst In what going is going to be a huge AAC showdown, I just don't see Cincinnati keeping pace with Central Florida.Desmond Riddler (815 yards passing, 8/3) is good. However, the quarterback will be outperformed by his counterpart, Dillon Gabbriel (1,338 yards passing, 14/2). But, the biggest difference here will be the superiority of the Knights rushing attack (232.6 yards per game on the ground). They will keep the Bearcats defense on the field and gasping for air come the second half. UCF has won and covered the last three meetings in this series, with the average margin of victory coming by 24.6 PPG. Cincinnati folds like a cheap suit when facing solid opposition, going 5-16 ATS the last 21 games vs. teams with a winning record. The Knights are 6-2 ATS the last eight games on the road, 8-3 ATS the last 11 games vs. conference foes, and 14-6 ATS the last 20 games overall. Take UCF. Thank you. |

10-04-19 | Twins v. Yankees -1.5 | 4-10 | Win | 109 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Take New York on the Run Line. Game 924. 4:07 pm pst. New York has taken four of the six meetings this season over Minnesota. RH, Jose Berrios (14-8, 3.68 ERA TY) is 0-2 in two career starts in the Bronx. LH, James Paxton (15-6, 3.82 ERA TY) is 7-3 with a 3.35 ERA at Yankees Stadium this season. The Twins are 12-40 the last 52 at the Yankees, 0-6 the last six Playoffs road games, and 1-7 in Berrios' last eight starts vs. teams with a winning record. The Yankees are 52-17 the last 69 at home, 7-2 the last nine Playoffs home games, and 5-0 in Paxton's last five starts at home. Take New York on the Run Line. Thank you. |

10-03-19 | Temple -11 v. East Carolina | 27-17 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Take Temple. This is my AAC GOW. Game 305. 5:00 pm pst. Temple has won and covered all five meetings in this series since 2014, including last year's, 49-6 thumping. Not much has changed to think this year's matchup would have any different of an outcome. The Owls own a top-25 passing game and a top-10 defense against the pass. Overall, they account for 30.5 PPG and only allow 17.2 PPG. They are also one of the healthiest squads in the nation. The Pirates pose very little threat offensively, averaging just 21.4 PPG. Quarterback, Holton Ahlers makes some very bad decisions, which is evident in his 4/5 TD/INT ratio and 54.1% completion rate. Temple is 22-6 ATS the last 28 vs. conference opponents, 15-7 ATS the last 22 vs. teams with a winning record, and 40-19 ATS the last 59 overall. |

09-30-19 | Bengals +3.5 v. Steelers | 3-27 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Take Cincinnati. Game 277. 5:15 pm pst. The last three meetings in this AFC North rivalry were decided by a total of 13 points, with Cincinnati covering two of the three matchups. Andy Dalton leads the #2 passing unit in the NFL and goes up against the 30th ranked passing defense in the league here. Mason Rudolph has a few more weapons at his disposal. Neither offense is having any success running the ball and both rank near the bottom of the NFL in scoring (Cincinnati 18.0 PPG, Pittsburgh 16.3 PPG). I just can't seem to back the Steelers until they show some signs of life. Take Cincinnati. Thank you. |

09-29-19 | Chiefs -6 v. Lions | Top | 34-30 | Loss | -110 | 60 h 49 m | Show |
Take Kansas City. This is my NFL GOM. Game 261. 10:00 am pst. Detroit, at 2-0-1, is one of this season's most pleasant surprises. However, beating a banged-up, Philadelphia team last week is going to prove to be a much easier task than facing a true, NFL powerhouse like Kansas City, this week. Patrick Mahomes leads the top passing unit in football and the third overall scoring offense (33.7 PPG). The Chiefs quarterback is going to shred the 22nd ranked Lions passing defense here. While I like head coach, Matt Patricia, he is overmatched and outclassed by Andy Reid. Kansas City is 8-2-1 ATS the last 11 games played on the road, 16-5 ATS the last 21 games played in the month of September, and 5-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Take the CHIEFS. Thank you. |

09-29-19 | Patriots -7 v. Bills | Top | 16-10 | Loss | -104 | 60 h 43 m | Show |
Take New England. This is my AFC EAST GOM. Game 263. 10:00 am pst. The fans in upstate New York are the happiest they have been since Jim Kelly was at the helm. QB, Josh Allen leads the 3-0 Bills. I hate to burst the bubble for the people of Buffalo, but the teams record was earned against three teams that are collectively, 1-8 (Jets 0-3, Giants 1-2, Bengals 0-3). Granted, the Patriots three opponents (Steelers, Dolphins, Jets) are a combined, 0-9, but, New England is still in a class shared by few. The Patriots (along with the Chiefs) are the cream of the AFC crop. Future Hall Of Famer, Tom Brady leading the NFL's #2 scoring offense (35.3 PPG) is nothing new. But, the New England defense ranks #1 in points allowed, passing yards, rushing yards, and total yards. Patriots defensive coordinator, Brian Flores and head coach, Bill Belichick will have their defense primed and ready to befuddle the Bills offensive line and their young quarterback. New England will not allow the other AFC East, 3-0 team to maintain any confidence. They are 4-1 ATS the last five meetings vs. Buffalo, 16-5-1 ATS the last 22 meetings in Buffalo, 20-8 ATS the last 28 games played on the road, 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played vs. the AFC East, and 42-18 ATS the last 60 games played overall. Take the PATRIOTS. Thank you. |

09-28-19 | Ohio State -16.5 v. Nebraska | Top | 48-7 | Win | 100 | 43 h 41 m | Show |
Take Ohio State. This is my BIG TEN GOM. Game 195. 4:30 pm pst. I don't think there's another team in the nation with a record like Nebraska's (3-1) that has a bigger false sense of worth. This is a team that is 1-3 ATS in 2019 with their only good performance coming against NIU. Ohio State is a FG away from being 4-0 ATS. They have covered numbers of 14.5 against Cincinnati, 17 at Indiana, and 38.5 vs. Miami-Ohio. The Buckeyes third ranked offense (53.5 PPG) will steamroll a Cornhuskers defense (25.2 PPG allowed) that hasn't faced a squad anywhere near this level. Look for OSU to gain some style points from the pollsters here and make a statement to the rest of the Big Ten. They are 6-0 ATS the last six games played following a SU win and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played overall. Nebraska is 1-6 ATS the last seven games played in the month of September and 4-12 ATS the last 16 games played at home. Take the BUCKEYES. Thank you. |

09-28-19 | UAB -3 v. Western Kentucky | Top | 13-20 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 0 m | Show |
Take UAB. Game 191. 4:00 pm pst. The odds makers are a bit off on this line. I have the number closer to double digits as last year's Conference USA champions, UAB Blazers are the only unblemished team in the league (3-0). Western Kentucky is very beatable, as they proved in losing 35-28 to Central Arkansas, and getting routed, 38-21 to Louisville. The Hilltoppers don't have much of a running game and their starting quarterback, Steven Duncan is out with a foot injury and none of the backups have that much experience. The Blazers have a very fast and talented, stop-unit (18th, 14.0 PPG allowed). And, soph quarterback, Tyler Johnston is a stud, throwing for 746 YP, a 64.3% CR, 8/2 in the air and another 114 YR and one score on the ground. UAB is 6-2 ATS the last eight games played on the road, 5-0 ATS the last vs. teams with a losing record, and 4-1 ATS the last five games played overall. Western Kentucky is 1-4 ATS the last five games played at home, 3-8 ATS the last 11 games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 3-7 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take the BLAZERS. Thank you. |

09-28-19 | SMU -7.5 v. South Florida | 48-21 | Win | 100 | 39 h 7 m | Show | |
Take SMU. This is my AAC GOM. Game 121. 1:00 pm pst. I have no problem laying a TD and a hook with an SMU team that has won and covered all four of their outings this season, including last week's, start-to-finish, 41-38 road victory over rival, TCU. South Florida has notched just one win since last October and that was a week ago against South Carolina State. The lackluster, Bulls offense (21.7 PPG) can not keep pace with the well-balanced, "O" of the Mustangs (43.5 PPG). Southern Methodist's quarterback, Shane Buechele (1159 YP, 66.7% CR, 7/4) and running back, Xavier Jones (370 YR, eight TD's) are going to light up the scoreboard so much, they are going to need to replace the bulbs. South Florida is 3-10 ATS the last 13 games played vs. conference opponents and 1-6 ATS the last seven games played at home. Take SMU. Thank you. |

09-26-19 | Eagles v. Packers -4 | 34-27 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Take Green Bay. This is my HR. Game 102. 5:20 pm pst. Philly is one of the NFL's most banged-up teams. Even at full strength, they would have a tough time in this matchup. Not only are they 1-2 SU, but they have yet to cover a game yet this season. Green Bay is 3-0, both SU and ATS, beating some very talented team (Chicago, Minnesota, Denver). Philadelphia, with a ground game that averages under 100 YR per game , relies upon their passing game. Well, they face the #5 pass defense in football here. The Eagles are 0-6 ATS the last six in the month of September. The Packers are 4-0 ATS the last four games played in the month of September. Take Green Bay. Thank you. |

09-26-19 | Navy +11 v. Memphis | 23-35 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Take Navy. This is my TD play. Game 103. 5:00 pm pst. Navy has covered the last four meetings with Memphis, going 3-1 SU. The Midshipmen own the #1 rushing attack in the nation, averaging over 371.5 YPG on the ground. They control the tempo and the clock. Defensively, they rank 2nd in college football, yielding just 8.5 YPG. Dual-threat QB, Malcolm Perry (68.8% CR 2 TD's in the air, 184 YR 5 TD's on the ground) is going to take this game on his shoulders. The Midshipmen are 5-0-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Take Navy. Thank you. |

09-23-19 | Bears v. Redskins +5.5 | 31-15 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Take Washington. This is my MNF winner. Game 490. 5:15 pm pst. There is no questioning that the Bears defense is the reason why they aren't 0-2. Their offense is a league-ranked 31st, accounting for 9.5 PPG. The Redskins defense is no world-beater. However, their "O" put up 27 points on the Eagles and 21 points on the Cowboys. Case Keenum can throw the ball. And with several RB's banged up, you can expect a heavy dose of AP (Adrian Peterson). Washington has won seven straight in this series, going 6-1 ATS, with five consecutive covers. Chicago is notoriously slow starters, going 5-12 ATS the last 17 games played in the month of September. Take the Redskins. Thank you. |
|||||||
09-22-19 | Saints v. Seahawks -4 | 33-27 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 21 m | Show | |
Take Seattle. This is my NFC GOW. Game 482. 1:25 pm pst. Drew Brees is out leaving the reins in the hands of Teddy Bridgewater and Taysom Hill. HC, Sean Payton said both will see action here. Without Brees, the offense must lean on RB, Alvin Kamara. Well, Seattle's rush defense ranks 4th in the NFL. This along with the fact that Russell Wilson is healthy and playing better than ever, prompts me to lay the points here. The home team is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series. The Saints are 0-5 ATS the last five vs. teams with a winning record, 0-5 ATS the last five vs. the NFC, and 0-7 ATS the last seven overall. The Seahawks are 17-5 ATS the last 22 in Week 3, 7-2-1 ATS the last 10 vs. the NFC, and 10-4-1 ATS the last 15 overall. Take Seattle. Thank you. |

Take Green Bay. this is my NO LIMIT. Game 462. 10:00 am pst. Green Bay has the NFL's #2 defense, yielding 9.5 PPG. Denver has the NFL's 28th ranked offense, posting just 15.0 PPG. Expect a lot of three-and-outs for the Broncos, thus putting Aaron Rodgers on the field to work his magic. The home team is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. The Broncos are 5-14 ATS the last 19 on the road and 1-5 ATS the last six overall. Take the Packers. Thank you. |

09-21-19 | Nebraska -13 v. Illinois | 42-38 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 55 m | Show | |
Take Nebraska. This is my LVSM. Game 323. 5:00 pm pst. The Illinois defense has sprung a few leaks, yielding 23 points to Connecticut and 34 points to Eastern Michigan. This doesn't bode well as they line up against QB, Adrian Martinez and a Nebraska offense that's averaging over 36.7 PPG. The Cornhuskers have won three in a row and five of the last six in this series (4-2 ATS). They are 6-0-1 ATS the last seven vs. conference opponents. The Fighting Illini are 3-7 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take Nebraska. Thank you. |

09-21-19 | Central Florida -10.5 v. Pittsburgh | 34-35 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 25 m | Show | |
Take Central Florida. This is my TD play. Game 319. 12:30 pm pst. Central Florida thumped Stanford,45-27 to earn a 3-0 start, both SU and ATS. The Knights moved up two spots in the polls to #15. They face a Panthers squad they shredded a year ago, 45-14. Not much has changed. Pitt has no ground game whatsoever and relies solely on their passing game. Well, UCF owns one of the top defenses in the nation (13.7 PPG allowed), including the 21st ranked pass defense. The Knights are 6-1 ATS the last seven games played on the road, 5-1 ATS the last six games played vs. nonconference foes, and 20-8-1 ATS the last 29 games played overall. Take Central Florida. Thank you. |

Take Temple. This is my BLOWOUT. Game 325. 12:30 pm pst. Temple enters this contest 2-0 SU and ATS, with a defense that has allowed just 14.5 PPG. Granted, Buffalo was supposed to get spanked by Penn State (45-13), but last week's, 35-17 loss to Liberty exposed just how bad this team really is. Owls QB, Anthony Russo (686 YP, 66.7% CR, 7/2) leads the 5th ranked passing attack in college football. Temple is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series, 5-0 ATS the last five vs. teams with a losing record, and 21-6 ATS the last 27 following an ATS win. Buffalo is 0-5 ATS the last five nonconference, 0-4 ATS the last four vs. teams with a winning record, and 0-5 ATS the last five overall. Take the Owls. Thank you. |

Take Auburn. This is my SEC WEST GOM. Game 367. 12:30 pm pst. Auburn took each of the last two meetings with Texas A&M and enter this matchup a perfect, 3-0, both SU and ATS. Texas A&M steamrolled Texas State and Lamar but was never in it vs. Clemson. Now, the 8th ranked Tigers are getting too many points against the 17th ranked Aggies. Both teams can play defense. Auburn has one of the top ground attacks in the nation. They will control the clock here. The road team is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. Take the Tigers. Thank you. |

09-21-19 | Michigan State v. Northwestern +9.5 | 31-10 | Loss | -114 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
Take Northwestern. This is WG play. Game 334. 9:00 am pst. Michigan State has a good defense, but their offense leaves a lot to be desired. They face a Northwestern team that has won and covered the last three meetings in this series and can eat up a lot of clock with a ground game that is averaging 184.5 YPG. This is a team that upended Utah and had a chance with Stanford. The Spartans are 1-6 ATS the last seven overall games. The Wildcats are 20-6-1 ATS the last 27 conference games. Take Northwestern. Thank you. |

09-21-19 | California +2.5 v. Ole Miss | Top | 28-20 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
Take California. This is my DOW. Game 353. 9:00 am pst. California owns a stifling defense, allowing a mere, 16.3 PPG, bringing them a 3-0 record and a top-25 ranking (23rd). They possess a stellar secondary. This is going to be fatal for Mississippi frosh QB, Matt Corral, who really hasn't been tested yet. Look for the 1-2 punch of QB, Gabers and RB, Brown Jr. to move the chains here. The Rebels are 1-4 ATS the last five in September, 1-4 ATS the last five at home, 5-15-1 ATS the last 21 vs. teams with a winning record, and 9-24-1 ATS the last 34 overall. Take the Golden Bears. Thank you. |

09-20-19 | Utah -3.5 v. USC | 23-30 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
Take Utah. This is my FNL play. Game 305. 6:00 pm pst. USC, which comes off a sloppy loss at BYU, has Utah here then goes on the road to Washington and Notre Dame. Things are going to go from bad to worse for the Trojans as they face a stout, Utes defense that has not allowed an opponent to reach 100 yards rushing. Frosh QB, Slovis tossed three INT's against BYU a week ago. Look for more freshman mistakes here. Utah is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series, 12-5 ATS the last 17 on the road, and 6-2 ATS the last eight in the conference. USC is 2-8 ATS the last 10 in September, 4-10 ATS the last 14 at home, and 7-19-1 ATS the last 27 overall. Take the Utes. Thank you. |

09-15-19 | Bears -2 v. Broncos | 16-14 | Push | 0 | 51 h 1 m | Show | |
Take Chicago. This is my HR. Game 285. 1:25 pm pst. Chicago led the League in scoring defense last season and it's looking like their stop unit is just as string this season. Joe Flacco has never been known as quick-footed. The Bears "D" will get to him, especially because the Broncos do not have a solid ground game to keep defenses honest. Look for the Chicago offensive line (five sacks allowed last week) to play much better here and allow QB, Mitchell Trubisky to work his magic. The Bears are 5-0 ATS the last five meetings in this series, 4-1 ATS the last five on the road, and 9-3 ATS the last 12 overall. The Broncos are 0-4-1 ATS the last five in September, 3-9-1 ATS the last 13 at home, and 8-20-1 ATS the last 29 overall. Take Chicago. Thank you. |

Take Los Angeles. This is my DOMINATOR. Game 263. 10:00am pst. Pay no mind into the holdout of Melvin Gordon. Austin Ekeler recorded 154 yards from scrimmage (58 rushing/96 receiving) and accounted for three TD's last week. The Chargers are an AFC elite team. They take on one of the worst teams in the NFC here. The Lions got a Week 1, 27-27 tie with bottom the bottom feeding, Cardinals. LA is one of the best road teams in the NFL, going 7-1 ATS the last eight as a visitor. Detroit is 4-1 ATS the last five at home. TAKE THE CHARGERS. Thank you. |

09-14-19 | Northern Illinois +14 v. Nebraska | Top | 8-44 | Loss | -109 | 26 h 56 m | Show |
Take Northern Illinois. This is my HR. Game 193. 5:00 pm pst.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why Nebraska is laying two TD's here. I have this game about 8.5 points. The Cornhuskers have yet to cover in 2019. They allowed the Jaguars of South Alabama to post 21 points in the opening week and then blew a 17-point halftime lead in last weeks, 34-31 loss to the Buffaloes. The Huskies, which have covered both outings this season, have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball. Let's not forget they are 16-5 ATS the last 21 vs. the Big Ten and 7-3 ATS the last 10 in September. Nebraska tends to be overvalued in Lincoln, going 3-12 ATS the last 15 at home and are slow starters, going 0-5 ATS the last five in September. Take the Huskies. Thank you. |

09-14-19 | Iowa -1 v. Iowa State | 18-17 | Push | 0 | 22 h 13 m | Show | |
Take Iowa. This is my TD. Game 153. 1:00 pm pst.
Iowa has had Iowa State's number, taking the last four meetings in this series SU, going 3-1 ATS. The average margin of victory is 16.5 PPG. The Hawkeyes have some things this season they haven't had in recent campaigns. That is a solid offense, and a big time play caller in Nate Stanley. The quarterback has tossed six TD's and 0 INT's. He also has the tandem of running back's, Mekhi Sargent and Toren Young, who have combined for 257 yards rushing and two TD's. They will light up the scoreboard here going up against a defense that yielded 26 points to the Panthers of Northern Iowa last week. Cyclones quarterback, Brock Purdy does not have the luxury of a ground game to help open up the passing game. So, facing one of the strongest stop units in the nation is going to be fatal once again. Iowa State is 0-4 the last four at home and 0-6 ATS the last six overall. Take the Hawkeyes. Thank you. |

09-14-19 | Kansas State +7.5 v. Mississippi State | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 18 h 15 m | Show | |
Take Kansas State. This is my LVSM. Game 111. 9:00 pm pst.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Kansas State took a 31-10 loss at the hands of Mississippi State last September. But, these are two very different teams right now. Under first year HC, Chris Klieman, the Wildcats are much improved. Granted, they beat up on lesser foes (2-0 SU and ATS), but they have a solid backfield with quarterback, Skylar Thompson (74.3% CR, 363 yards passing, 3/0) and Ball State transfer running back, James Gilbert (218 yards rushing, 3 TD's). They will keep a Bulldogs defense honest that has allowed the Rajun' Cajuns and the Golden Eagles to put up 43 combined points on them. While Mississippi State's "O" is good, they will have a long day lining up against a very stout, K State front seven. The Wildcats are 6-2 ATS the last eight on the road, 15-5 ATS the last 20 as an underdog, and 4-0 ATS the last four overall.Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |

09-09-19 | Texans v. Saints -6.5 | 28-30 | Loss | -110 | 92 h 31 m | Show | |
Take New Orleans. This is my MNF winner. Game 480. 4:10 pm pst. New Orleans got caught looking in Week 1, a season ago, as they lost, 48-40 to Tampa Bay. The Saints then went on to win 10 in a row SU, going 9-1 ATS. This is one of the most explosive, experienced, and well-coached teams in the NFL. They are only one of six teams touted to reach double-digit wins (10.5).Veteran gunslinger, Drew Brees will exploit a Texans "D" that is now without Jadevon Clowney (traded to Seahawks). HC, Sean Payton and DC, Dennis Allen will have the defense primed and ready to get to DeShaun Watson through an offensive line that yielded a whopping, 62 sacks last year. Houston is 3-7-1 ATS the last 11 games played on the road. Take New Orleans. Thank you. |

09-08-19 | 49ers +1.5 v. Bucs | 31-17 | Win | 100 | 65 h 59 m | Show | |
Take San Francisco. This is my HR. Game 461. 1:25 pm pst. Bringing in Bruce Arians is not going to help the Buccaneers. The HC had a ton of talent at his disposal with the Cardinals and still went just 15-16-1 the last two seasons. This is a team that allowed an NFC-high, 29.0 PPG last year. They must now face a healthy, Jimmy Garoppolo, who has a slew of weapons in his arsenal. Defensively, the 49ers acquired defensive linemen, Dee Ford and Nick Bosa to assist sack-master, DeForest Buckner. Bucs quarterback, Jameis Winston would be smart to take out some extra life insurance this week. San Francisco is 6-2 ATS the last eight games played in Week 1 of the season. Take San Francisco. Thank you. |

09-08-19 | Falcons v. Vikings -4 | 12-28 | Win | 100 | 62 h 50 m | Show | |
Take Minnesota. This is my BB. Game 454. 10:00 am pst. Minnesota is 3-0, both SU and ATS vs. Atlanta under Zimmer. They come off a very strong preseason campaign, and unlike the Falcons have no distractions. The fact that the Vikings are a playoff caliber team that did not make the postseason last year is going to motivate them this year. Minny, had one of the stingiest defenses in the league LY. Their offense, led by Kirk Cousins is going to shred an Atlanta "D" that ranked near the bottom of the barrel a season ago and still has serious issues in their secondary. By the way, Matt Ryan's passer rating plummets on the road. The Vikings are 4-1 ATS the last five games played in Week 1 and 36-16-1 ATS the last 53 games played at home. The falcons are 1-4 ATS the last five games played on the road and 2-6 ATS the last eight games played overall. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

09-08-19 | Ravens -6.5 v. Dolphins | 59-10 | Win | 100 | 62 h 44 m | Show | |
Take Baltimore. This is my AFC GOM. Game 459. 10:00 am pst. Miami is touted to be the worst team in the NFL at 500/1 to win the Super Bowl and win a league-low, 4.5 games. Baltimore had to replace a few key players from last year's #2 scoring defense and are expected to be just as tough. They have a solid ground attack that will steamroll one of the NFL's most porous rush defenses. The Ravens have covered eight straight meetings over the Dolphins, including five in a row in Miami. Take Baltimore. Thank you. |

09-07-19 | Wyoming -7 v. Texas State | 23-14 | Win | 100 | 45 h 17 m | Show | |
Take Wyoming. This is my TD play. Game 353. 4:00 pm pst. There are times to judge a matchup from a previous performance. And, there are times you should not. This is the earlier of the two. Texas State was shellacked by Texas A&M, 41-7, while Wyoming upended Missouri, 37-31, as a 15-point underdog. Granted, the Bobcats faced a better team in the Aggies, however, only eked out eight yards rushing as they yielded over 232 yards on the ground. The Cowboys can run the ball and keep the Bobcats defense on the field and winded come the second half. Wyoming gets the bettors paid, going 7-1 ATS the last eight games played vs. Sun Belt opponents and 5-1 ATS the last six games played overall. Take Wyoming. Thank you. |

09-07-19 | Central Florida -10.5 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 48-14 | Win | 100 | 45 h 9 m | Show |
Take Central Florida. This is my TEN DIMES PLAY. Game 359. 4:00 pm pst.
Don't put too much stock in the fact that Florida Atlantic covered a 27-point spread against Ohio State last week. The Owls weren't getting the Buckeye's "A-game," especially after trailing, 28-0 at the end of the first quarter. Now they face the AAC 's strongest representative in Central Florida. The Knights are one of the deepest squads in the nation, offensively, and can put up points on any defense in college football. The 1-2 punch of quarterback, Brandon Wimbush and running back, Adrian Killins Jr. will completely decimate an Owls "D" notorious for being a doormat. Central Florida is 5-1 ATS the last six games played on the road, 6-1 ATS the last seven games played in the month of September, and 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the CUSA. Take Central Florida. Thank you. |

09-07-19 | Charlotte v. Appalachian State -21.5 | 41-56 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 54 m | Show | |
Take Appalachian State. This is my CRUSHER play. Game 338. 12:30 pm pst. Not too much has changed for either of these teams since last September's matchup in which Appalachian State shredded Charlotte, 45-9. This contest puts together the Sun Belt's best team against the Conference USA's worst. The Mountaineers are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball and are 17-2 SU at home since 2016, with the average margin of victory coming by 27.2 PPG. They are 4-0 ATS the last four games played vs. the CUSA, 5-0 ATS the last five games played in the month of September, and 6-0 ATS the last six non-conference games played. The 49ers are 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with a winning record, 4-12 ATS the last 16 games played in the month of September, and 2-9 ATS the last 11 non-conference games. Take Appalachian State. Thank you. |
|||||||
09-07-19 | Syracuse +2 v. Maryland | 20-63 | Loss | -110 | 39 h 33 m | Show | |
Take Syracuse. This is my UOW. Game 317. 9:00 am pst. Don't put too much stock in Maryland's, 79-point drubbing of Howard in Week 1. They will have no such luck against a stellar, Syracuse defense that returns a pair of defensive ends that each had double-digit sacks last year and a veteran secondary. Sophomore quarterback, Tommy Devito was a bit flat in 'Cuse's, 24-0 blanking of Liberty. However, expect a big bounce back here, especially under head coach, Dino Barbers and a very capable roster of ball-carriers. The Orange is 10-3 ATS the last 13 games played on the road. Take Syracuse. Thank you. |
|||||||
09-02-19 | Twins -1.5 v. Tigers | 4-3 | Loss | -138 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
Take Minnesota on the RUN LINE. This is my AL CENTRAL GOW. 10:10 am pst. The Al Central's best team goes on the road to take on the division's worst team here. Minnesota, which has won seven of the last eight, owns a 5.5 game lead in the Central. Detroit, which is 15-55 the last 70 games, dwells in the cellar, 43.0 GB. RH, Jake Odorizzi (14-6, 3.55 TY) is 2-0 in two starts vs. the Tigers this season, allowing one run and six hits in 13.0 IP against them. RH, Jordan Zimmerman is 1-9 with an ERA of 6.24 on the campaign. The Twins are 7-2 the last nine games played at the Tigers and 6-0 in Odorizzi's last six starts vs. the Tigers. They average a whopping, 6.30 RPG on the road while Detroit accounts for a mere, 3.40 RPG at home. Take Minnesota on the RUN LINE. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-31-19 | Georgia -21 v. Vanderbilt | 30-6 | Win | 100 | 31 h 3 m | Show | |
Take Georgia. This is my SEC EAST GOM. Game 201. 4:30 pm pst. I don't normally like laying wood like this in the early weeks of the season, but National title contender, Georgia (which shares the SEC with Alabama) must come out of the gate strong and keep their foot on the gas all season, hoping for 'Bama to slip up. This game will be won in the trenches, where the Bulldogs have an overwhelming edge. They have won and covered the last two years over the Commodores, by 28 and 31 points. Lat the points with Georgia. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-31-19 | Northwestern +6.5 v. Stanford | 7-17 | Loss | -108 | 28 h 33 m | Show | |
Take Northwestern. This is my NO LIMIT. Game 185. 1:00 pm pst. These two teams only met once in recent years as Northwestern, a 10-point underdog, bested Stanford, 16-6, back in September of 2015. Stanford is one of the least experienced squads in the nation, returning just nine starters to a team that ranked 123rd in rushing last year. The Cardinal does have a stud of a quarterback in K.J. Costello. However, the Wildcats, which have covered eight straight as a road underdog, have a talented running back in Isaiah Bowser (864 yards rushing in eight games last season) and most of a defense that only gave up points to some of the best offenses in the nation a season ago. I am not saying that Stanford is looking forward here, but with Southern Cal on deck (Northwestern has UNLV up next), they might be a bit distracted. Take the Wildcats. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-31-19 | Eastern Michigan -6 v. Coastal Carolina | 30-23 | Win | 100 | 27 h 13 m | Show | |
Take Eastern Michigan. This is my TD play. Game 179. 12:30 pm pst. The Eastern Michigan offense returns most of its key components. Coastal Carolina has a new HC, very little experience, no real starting QB, and lost their best defensive player to transfer. The Eagles are a solid team with a very good QB that beat the Boilermakers on the road and only lost by three at the Aztecs. They are 20-6-1 ATS the last 27 games played on the road, 16-5 ATS the last 21 non-conference games, and 25-11 ATS the last 36 games played overall. Take Eastern Michigan. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-31-19 | Toledo +12 v. Kentucky | 24-38 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 50 m | Show | |
Take Toledo. This is my SHOCKER play. Game 171. 9:00 am pst. Mark Stoops' Wildcats come off their best season in decades, but I don't see how this team can lay double-digits here. They rely solely upon throwing the ball after losing their top ball-carrier, Benny Snell Jr. to the NFL, and only return four defensive starters. This includes their entire secondary. This doesn't bode well as they face a Rockets team that has most of their offense back, including quarterback, Mitchell Guadagni (candidate for MAC Offensive Player of the Year). This is an explosive offense that put up over 50 points six times a season ago, while averaging over 40.3 PPG. take Toledo. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-29-19 | Dolphins +3.5 v. Saints | 16-13 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Take Miami. This is my NFLX GOM. Game 125. 5:00 pm pst. Here we see just about the worst team in the NFL take on one of the best. The Dolphins have covered all 3 preseason outings, while the Saints are 1-1-1 ATS. The 3.5 here definitely prompts me to side with a Miami organization that needs to sell season tickets. TAKE 3.5 with the Fins. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-24-19 | 49ers +3.5 v. Chiefs | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Take San Francisco. This is my TD play. Game 275. 5:00 pm pst. If this was the regular season, this game would have a very different line...even higher than 3.5 points. It's that extra .5 point that I really like here. San Francisco is 2-0, both SU and ATS this preseason while not touted to be any true threat in the NFC come the regular season. hey have good numbers coming from both their QB's and RB's. Kansas City, which is 1-1, both SU and ATS, but is expected to be a contender for the AFC title. They are not going to jeopardize any key players here more than they have to. take the 49ers plus the 3.5 points. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-23-19 | Bills -2 v. Lions | 24-20 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Take Buffalo. This is my TD PLAY. Game 265. 5:00 pm pst. WOW, is Detroit just pathetic. The Lions are 0-2, both SU and ATS this preseason, while the Bills are 2-0, both SU and ATS. The Lions, guys, they do not possess a single able QB or RB. Even Detroit fans would have a difficult time naming the backfield starters. I know I didn't know them all. On the flip side, the Bills have three adequate QB's, and several solid RB's. Buffalo has a good front office and very loyal fans. They will come out here to impress both. TAKE THE BILLS -2.0. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-23-19 | Browns -3 v. Bucs | 12-13 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Take Cleveland. This is my TV GAME WINNER. Game 263. 4:30 pm pst. The hype surrounding Cleveland is for real. This is a team that went from a league doormat to a league contender in just a few seasons. AND, they take preseason football very seriously, going 9-1, both SU and ATS the last 10 exhibition outings. Tampa Bay does possess several good QB's, but are without a true threat at RB. The Browns stay hot. LAY THE 3 WITH CLEVELAND here guys. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-22-19 | Packers v. Raiders +3 | 21-22 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Take Oakland. This is my TV GAME WINNER. Game 260. 5:00 pm pst. There's a lot of pressure on Jon Gruden's Raiders to win. They are 2-0, both SU and ATS in exhibition play as QB, Mike Glennon has tallied 375 YP on a 71.8% CR, with two TD's. Green Bay is touted to be a force in the NFC. But, Aaron Rodgers has yet to take a snap and once again the Packers have no ground game whatsoever. Oakland is 5-1, both SU and ATS the last six NFL preseason outings. TAKE THE POINTS WITH THE RAIDERS AT HOME. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-22-19 | Giants +3 v. Bengals | 25-23 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Take New York. This is my TD play. Game 251. 4:00 pm pst. New York is 2-0, both SU and ATS this preseason. They are stacked at the QB position and have a lot of pressure coming from the front office to win. Getting three points here is a gift. TAKE THE GIANTS. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-17-19 | Browns +3 v. Colts | 21-18 | Win | 105 | 73 h 57 m | Show | |
Take Cleveland. This is my BB play. Game 417. 1:00 pm pst. Andrew Luck is scheduled to see action here. The news has moved the line (as of print) from Cleveland -1 to Indy -3. Indianapolis fell short to Buffalo last week, 24-16, while Cleveland blasted Washington, 30-10. Both coaches and both teams like to play hard in the preseason. However, there is so much hype surrounding the Browns that I feel the organization, the team, and their fans don't just want, but need to win here. Take Cleveland. Thank you. |
|||||||
08-16-19 | Bears +2.5 v. Giants | 13-32 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Take Chicago. This is my TV GAME WINNER. Game 413. 4:30 pm pst. Chicago showed very little in a 23-13, Week 1 loss to Carolina. But no significant starters saw action. The Giants outlasted the Jets, 31-22 as the G-men did have some key players play. The Bears are a highly-touted team and do try in NFL exhibition games. A few more starters will see action here for Chicago. Giving the Bears points is a gift. I kinda' like them outright, but take the 2 with Chicago. |

08-16-19 | Dolphins +3 v. Bucs | 14-16 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Take Miami. This is my FNL winner. Game 415. 4:30 pm pst. Sports fans, what can you say about the Dolphins? They are touted to be the worst team in the NFL this season at 500-1 to win the Super Bowl, while forecasted to win a League-low, 4.5 games. Certainly, gone are the days of Larry Czonka led teams of the 70's and the Dan Marino led teams of the 80's and 90's. However, cross-state rivals, Tampa Bay AIN'T that much better. Miami bested Atlanta in Week 1, 34-27, and Tampa Bay gave Pittsburgh a tough game in a 2-point loss at Heinz Field. But, with a line of 3 here, be smart and take the points. Take the Dolphins. Thank you. |

08-16-19 | Bills v. Panthers -1 | 27-14 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Take Carolina. This is my LVSM. Game 412. 4:00 pm pst. Both squads looked good as both had wins in Week 1. There's a lot of pressure on Carolina to succeed, although both teams are slated to win just 7.5 games this upcoming season. However, looking at the last several exhibition campaigns, I must side with a Panthers team that is 6-3, both SU and ATS the L9 August contests. Lay under a FG here. Take Carolina. Thank you. |

08-15-19 | Raiders +3.5 v. Cardinals | 33-26 | Win | 100 | 29 h 3 m | Show | |
Take Oakland. This is my TD play. Game 409. 5:00 pm pst. Both teams won in Week 1 against superior foes. Both also try in the preseason, as both went 3-1 SU and ATS a year ago. And, both are touted to finish last in their divisions. But, with a line (as or print) of 3.5 with some3's, I must be smart and take that edge with Jon Gruden here. Take the Raiders. Thank you. |

08-15-19 | Jets v. Falcons -1.5 | 22-10 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 41 m | Show | |
Take Atlanta. This is my MONEY PLAY. Game 504. 4:30 pm pst. The Atlanta Falcons are already 0-2, and took a loss last week to the NFL's worst team, the Miami Dolphins. The New York Jets took a defeat at the hands of the other New York team, the Giants. Both teams are slated to improve from last year's teams, but I feel the Falcons need to get in sync here. Take Atlanta. Thank you |

08-14-19 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Marlins | 9-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Take Los Angeles on the RUN LINE. This is my NL GOW. Game 957. 4:10 pm pst. Los Angeles has taken five in a row against Miami, including all four 2019 meetings. They average margin of victory over the last five meetings is 7.0 RPG. LH, Clayton Kershaw is 11-2 with a 2.77 ERA TY. RH, Elieser is 2-4 with a 4.94 ERA TY. The Dodgers average 5.61 RPG on the road while the Marlins account for just 3.84 RPG at home. Los Angeles is 38-15 the last 53 games played vs. the NL East and 89-29 in Kershaw's last 118 overall starts. Miami is 0-5 the last five games played during Game 2 of a series and 2-9 the last 11 games played overall. Take the Dodgers on the RUN LINE. Thank you. |

08-14-19 | Red Sox v. Indians -1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 29 m | Show | |
Take Cleveland on the RUN LINE. This is my BEST BET play. Game 966. 10:10 am pst. Don't look now, but the Cleveland Indians are just a .5 GB the Minnesota Twins for the AL Central's top spot at 72-48. The Indians are red-hot, as they own a 38-15 record the last 53 games played overall. They host a Boston Red Sox team that has cooled down, dropping 12 of the last 16 outings. The Bosox are 17.5 GB for in the AL East and 8.5 GB for a WC spot. The Cleveland offense has come alive. But when you own the Major League's 3rd ranked pitching staff, with a Team ERA of 3.69 this time of year, you pile on the "W's". What worried Boston fans in the opening months of the season, has now become an issue again. The Red Sox pitching has been a nightmare, ranking 22nd, with a Team ERA of 4.81. With David Price on the 10-day injured list, it looks to be Brian Johnson on the hill. The LH owns a 1-1 record with an ERA of 7.32. "BJ" has been activated once again and has not won a game in his four starts this season, not making it past 5.0 IP. Shane Bieber gets the nod at home. The RH has a 12-4 record with a 3.28 ERA in 2019, fanning 193 hitters in 156.1 IP. The sophomore pitcher has shown incredible control, walking just 32 batters and won his only start vs. the Red Sox this season. Boston is 6-14 the last 20 games played at Cleveland, 1-6 the last seven games played on the road, 2-7 the last nine games played vs. RH starters, and 1-9 the last 10 games played vs. teams with a winning record. Cleveland is 6-2 the last eight games played at home and 23-8 the last 31 games played vs. LH starters. Take Cleveland on the RUN LINE. Thank you. |

Take New York on the RUN LINE. This is my AL EAST GOW. Game 912. 4:05 pm pst. New York has taken 14 in a row this season over Baltimore, with an average margin of victory coming by 4.35 RPG. RH, Domingo German (15-2, 4.05 TY) is 3-0 with a 2.50 ERA vs. the Orioles this season. LH, John Means (8-7, 3.36 TY) is 1-3 with a 7.11 ERA in four starts since the All Star break. Baltimore is 14-39 the last 53 games played vs. New York, 42-112 the last 154 games played on the road, and 1-6 in Means' last seven road starts. New York is 45-14 the last 59 games played vs. the AL East, 40-11 the last 51 games played at home, and 12-0 in German's last 12 starts vs. the AL East. take New York on the RUN LINE. Thank you. |

08-10-19 | Bengals +3.5 v. Chiefs | 17-38 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
Take Cincinnati. This is my LVSM. Game 277. 5:00 pm pst. The Kansas City Chiefs, along with the New England Patriots, are the favorites to not just take the AFC Championship at 3/1, but both are also the overall fav's to win the Super Bowl at 6/1. They are only one of seven teams touted to win double-digit games this season (10.5). They come off a 12-win campaign last year, losing to the Patriots in the AFC Title game, in OT. Cincinnati comes off a six-win season last year (slated to win six this year), is picked to finish last in the AFC North, is 50/1 to win the AFC and 100/1 in Super Bowl odds. The team and their fans don't expect too much this upcoming season. So coming out here and starting the campaign with a big showing will boost their confidence and give their loyal fans something to be excited about. They were 3-1 both SU and ATS in last year's exhibition play. The Chiefs will not put any of their playmakers at risk here, especially in Week 1 of the preseason and hurt any chances of returning to the AFC Championship and a possible Super Bowl appearance. Take the Bengals. Thank you. |

08-09-19 | Bucs v. Steelers -2.5 | 28-30 | Loss | -109 | 54 h 49 m | Show | |
Take Pittsburgh. This is my GOW. Game 274. 4:30 pm pst. There is a lot of pride within the Pittsburgh Steelers team and their fans. Despite the fact that they certainly aren't the team we got so accustomed to seeing over recent years, Pittsburgh is 9/1 to win the AFC championship. Big Ben is getting old and let's face it, he is injury prone. But yet, they are still a very tough team. Tampa Bay is picked to finish last in the NFC South this season and have to start their campaign here, facing a Pittsburgh team that went 6-2, both SU and ATS the last two exhibition season's in Heinz Field. TAKE THE STEELERS. Thank you. |

08-09-19 | Astros -1.5 v. Orioles | 3-2 | Loss | -150 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Take Houston on the RUN LINE. This is my AL GOW. Game 917. 4:05 pm pst. Houston has won six in a row and nine of their last 10 outings to give the team a 10 game lead in the AL West. Their lineup, which ranks in the top-five in every major category, has taken it up a notch, averaging 9.0 RPG during their current winning streak. The Astros have taken two of three meetings against the Orioles this season, and 22 of the last 27 overall meetings, including an 8-2 record the last 10 matchups at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Baltimore is on a three game skid and have dropped seven of their last 10, dwelling in the AL East cellar, 37.0 GB. Their 30th ranked pitching staff has gotten crushed, allowing five or more runs in nine of those last 10 contests, for a total of 74 runs. LH, Wade Miley (10-4, 3.05 ERA TY) has been outstanding, yielding three or less runs in each of his last seven turns. RH, Dylan Bundy (5-11, 5.15 ERA TY) lost in his only start vs. the Astros, back on June 9th (against Miley no less) and has been tagged for 24 HR's thus far. This doesn't bode well as he faces a Houston offense ranking 3rd in round-trippers, with 192 HR's. Baltimore is 18-44 the last 62 games played at home, 15-42 the last 57 games played vs. the AL West, and 7-20 in Bundy's last 27 starts at home. Houston is 13-3 the last 16 game played vs. RH starters, 21-5 the last 26 games played following an off day, and 4-0 in Miley's last four starts on the road. Take the Astros on the RUN LINE. Thank you. |

Take Arizona. This is my SHOCKER play. Game 270. 7:00 pm pst. If this was a regular season game, it would be a massacre. Coming off a three-win season last year, Arizona should buy stock in aspirin and Kleenex. They are going to be a league doormat. Los Angeles notched 12 victories a season ago and are one of only six teams touted to have double-digit wins this season. Of course they share the division with the Chiefs, which along with the Patriots are the AFC's forecasted two best teams. But, the Chargers are surely an AFC elite. They have a real shot at the AFC championship. They will not put any playmakers at risk here. The Cardinals were 3-1, both SU and ATS in the 2018 preseason. TAKE ARIZONA. Thank you. |

Take Cleveland. This is my BB play. Game 258. 4:30 pm pst. Once again this season, there is serious expectations for the Cleveland Browns. Yes, last season, they improved drastically. Yes, they have a tons of talent. And, yes, they are picked to win the very competitive, AFC North over perennial powerhouses, the Steelers and the Ravens. They take exhibition play very seriously, as they were 3-1, both SU and ATS a year ago. Washington is figured to finish dead last in the NFC East. To be quite honest, this is not a good team at all and I don't see them jeopardizing what little talent they have before the regular season begins. TAKE CLEVELAND. Thank you. |

08-08-19 | Colts v. Bills +2.5 | 16-24 | Win | 100 | 30 h 41 m | Show | |
Take Buffalo. This is my TD play. Game 254. 4:00 pm pst. There is high hopes for Indianapolis this season. The Colts are slated to win 10 games and reports are that they are much improved at both ends of the field. Buffalo is not a very good team and sharing the division with perennial AFC East Champs, New England makes it even tougher. However, the Bills need to come out of the gate with a solid performance to boost their confidence and give their loyal fans a glimmer of hope. I don't expect you'll see any of the Colts key players see too much, if any, action. Despite a 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS preseason record last year, I like Buffalo +2.5 here and if the line jumps up to a +3, it's time to pull the trigger. TAKE THE BILLS. Thank you. |

08-07-19 | Yankees -1.5 v. Orioles | 14-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
Take New York on the RUN LINE. This is my AL EAST GOW. Game 917. 4:05 pm pst. There was some disappointment from both media and fans alike when the Yankees skipped over the trade deadline. Many were stunned because they are a contender and desperately need another pitcher. Those who were not stunned, were definitely shocked. It's uncharacteristic for New York not to be in the middle of a big name and a big money transaction. They have won seven in a row, with a 9.0 game lead in the AL East, come off a huge, four-game sweep of Boston, and go into Oriole Park where they have dominated Baltimore, with a 22-7 record the last 29 meetings at Camden Yards. New York has won 12 of 14 contests with Baltimore in 2019. The Bronx Bombers account for 6.46 RPG on the road and own a 41-14 record vs. AL East foes, while the O's are 18-34 the last 52 games played vs. the AL East. The Orioles are just 17-40 this season at home and are a laughable, 20-37 on the RL as a host, averaging a mere, 4.42 RPG in Baltimore. James Paxton takes the hill here. The LH has a 6-6 record with a 4.61 ERA, whiffing 123 batters in 95.2 IP and owns a 3-1 record with a 3.86 ERA in five career starts vs. the Orioles. John Means hasn't pitched since August 24th, when he was on the 10 day IL with a rotator cuff issue. The LH (8-6, 3.12 ERA) owns some poor numbers, getting shelled for 85 hits, 14 HR's, with 27 BB's, and only 78 K's in 98.0 IP. The 30-year old faced New York three times, all as a reliever, within seven days at the end of March into April. New York is 40-14 the last 54 games played vs. RH starters and 66-29 the last 95 games played overall. Baltimore is 18-43 the last 61 games played at home and 89-209 the last 298 games played overall. By the way, in those 12 wins NY took from Baltimore this season, they came by an average of 4.00 RPG.

Take Denver. This is my NFLX HOF Game Winner. Game 241. 5:00 pm pst. The Denver Broncos missed the playoffs last season and are only slated to win seven games this season, with odds of 40/1 to win the AFC. With John Elway on the hot seat and 1st year HC, Vic Fangio under the gun to start off the season with a bang, I like this team laying under a FG. They need to boost their confidence as a team and also generate a bit of excitement for their prideful and loyal, fan base. This is a team that is 6-2, both SU and ATS the last two exhibition seasons. By the way, the Broncos finished the regular season last year, losing four in a row both SU and ATS. Starting the 2019-2020 season off with a win would be huge here. The Atlanta Falcons missed the postseason as well last year. But, this is a team with a lot of talent, slated to win 8.5 games and are 15/1 to win the NFC. Under Dan Quinn, who is entering his fifth year as HC, this team is 0-8, both SU and ATS the last two NFLX campaigns. With more to lose if starters get injured, and not showing interest in August contests, I expect this Falcons team to not really try to hard here. Take Denver. Thank you. |

However, over the last month, they have struggled, going 11-16, and allowing the Indians to climb to just 3.0 GB in the Central. Owners of the worst record in the NL (41-64), Miami is just horrible.
