Take Army.

Game 104.

10:00 pm pst

This is the 119th edition of this storied contest. Army has taken the last two meetings, but has covered seven of the last nine. Over the last five years, each matchup has been separated by seven points or less, including a 14-13, Black Knights win and cover last year. But this year, these are two very different squads. The Middies are 0-6 SU and 2-4 ATS away from Annapolis in 2018, being outscored by 16.8 PPG. Both teams can run the ball (Army #2, Navy #3). The Army QB situation is a bit more stable, behind Kelvin Hopkins. Navy has rotated three play-callers in Garret Lewis, Zach Abey, and Malcolm Perry. The Black Knights offense eats up more clock than any other team in the nation, with an average TOP of 39:15. Another big edge is on defense, where Army ranks 17th overall (18.7 PPG allowed), 30th vs. the pass, and most importantly, 12th vs. the run. The Navy "D" has been a doormat, yielding over 34.9 PPG, ranking 98th vs. the pass, and 89th vs. the run. The Midshipmen are 0-4 ATS the last four non-conference games, 2-6 ATS the last eight vs. teams with a winning record, and 3-7 ATS the L10 overall games. The Black Knights are 4-0 ATS the last four games following a bye week, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on neutral sites, and 5-1 ATS the last six games played in the month of December. Take Army. Thank you

Take Sacramento.

This is my Vegas Insider.

Game 507.

4:35 pm pst.

Sacramento covered the L3 meetings in this series and enter this contest donning their best record at this point in the campaign, in 14 years. The Kings are 12-11 SU and a whopping, 14-9 ATS. Cleveland couldn't beat this team with LeBron James and now must face them without him. The Road Team is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Sacramento is 8-3 ATS the L11 at Cleveland, 20-7-1 ATS the L28 vs. the Eastern Conference, and 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Kings. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my Best Bet.

Game 701.

5:05 pm pst.

How can a team with an inconsistent offense, like Boston, lay DD's? They are 2-4 ATS this season when laying 9 1/2 or more points. As a matter of fact, New York has covered both meetings this season, dropping an October matchup, 101-101 (as a 9 1.2 pt 'dog) and most recently, winning a November contest, 117-109 (as a 12-pt 'dog). The Knicks are 6-2 ATS the L8 overall games. Take New York. Thank you.

Take Michigan.

This is my BIG TEN GOM.

Game 735.

6:000 pm pst.

The 5th ranked Michigan team are a perfect, 8-0, covering 5 of their L6, and besting Villanova by 27, Providence by 19, North Carolina by 17, and Purdue by 19. Northwestern is a mediocre team at best. Remember, the last time these 2 met, back in February, the Wildcats spanked the Wolverines, 61-52. A little payback is in the cards here. Northwestern is 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the Big Ten, while Michigan is 21-6-1 ATS the L28 vs. the Big ten. Take the Wolverines. Thank you.

Take BC.

This is my Crusher.

Game 712.

4:00 pm pst.

Boston College is chock-full of talent. The Eagles match up well with the Friars in the back court but have a huge  edge up front, with a deep corps of big men. Providence has only stepped up once this season, and lost by 19 points to Michigan. The Home Team is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. The Friars are 1-4 ATS the L5 at the Eagles and 7-19 ATS the L26 non-conference outings. Take the Eagles. Thank you.

Take Detroit.

This is my LVSM.

Game 713.

4:00 pm pst.

Detroit has covered 7 straight games, including all 4 as a DD 'dog. While Dayton has dropped their L3 SU, and has faced some better opposition, still not strong enough to lay 14.5 points. Especially, against a very good Titans 3-pt shooting squad (ranking 24th, 40.4% beyond the arc). Detroit is 7-0 ATS the L7 non-conference games and 4-0 ATS the L4 road games. Dayton is 1-5 ATS the L6 games following a SU loss and 5-15-1 ATS the L21 overall games. Take the Titans. Thank you.

Take Washington.

This is my NFC EAST GOM.

Game 379.

5:15 pm pst.

Do you know what Vanilla ice and the Philadelphia Eagles have in common? They are both one-hit-wonders. Colt McCoy was a little rusty LW, tossing 3 INT's, in his first start in 4 years. And still, Washington only lost by 8 points to Dallas. The QB had a few extra days to get in sync. he gets to face a banged-up, Philly secondary that ranks 28th in the League. The offense can also crush Adrian Peterson as the veteran ball-carrier goes up against the lax, eagles run defense, yielding over 4.7 YPC. The Philadelphia offense is struggling. With no real running threat, QB, Carson Wentz is in trouble here. The Washington "D" will blitz, blitz, and blitz more. They've got 32 sacks and Wentz has not fared well against heavily blitzing defenses. The Redskins are 8-3 ATS the L11 at the Eagles, 5-0 ATS the L5 following an ATS loss, and 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. The Eagles are 0-5 ATS the L5 at home, 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the NFC East, and 2-8 ATS the L10 overall. Take Washington. Thank you.

Take UCF.

This is my NON-CONF GOM.

Game 719.

12:00 pm pst

From a betting POV, Central Florida is 6-1 SU, going 6-1 ATS, including a perfect, 3-0 ATS on the road. Missouri is 3-3 SU, going 1-5 ATS, including an 0-2 ATS mark at home. The Knights are eager to avenge a 3-point heartbreaking loss to the Tigers last season. But UCF was a very different team in a very different place a year ago. This year, they have an unselfish, veteran squad that beat both St. Joe's and W KY by DD's. They possess a great defense (62.6 PPG allowed), the better back court, and Center, Tacko Fall (11.4 PPG, 7.0 RPG). The Knights are 6-0 ATS their L6 vs. SEC, 25-10 ATS their L35 non-Conference games, and 5-0 ATS their L5 overall. The Tigers are 1-5 ATS their L6 at home, 1-8 ATS their L9 non-Conference games, and 1-7 ATS their L8 overall. Take UCF. Thank you.

Take Indianapolis.

This is my VI play.

Game 351.

10:00 am pst.

Cody Kessler gets the start here for Jacksonville, without Leonard Fournette in the backfield (suspended 1 game). Indy has won 5 in a row, both SU and ATS, while Jacksonville is riding a 7-game SU skid, failing to cover all 7 (2 pushes). The Colts, Andrew Luck leads the 4th ranked offense in the NFL, averaging over 29.5 PPG. The Jags just can't keep pace (17.9 PPG, ranking 28th), especially without their #2 and #3 rushers (Bortles and Fournette). Take Indianapolis. Thank you.

Take Chicago.

This is my HR.

Game 363.

10:00 am pst.

This line moved down as Mitch Trubiskey was downgraded to doubtful. If the rookie QB does not play, Chase Daniel, who got the team the win and cover LW over Detroit, will get the nod. Please remember that Chicago is riding a 5-game win and cover streak. This team is winning because of their defense, which ranks 2nd in scoring (19.2 PPG). The difference in this contest is the Bears defense. The New York coaching staff has made bad decisions. Saquon Barkley is not getting enough touches. And Eli Manning is finding new and improved ways to lose. The Giants can't score and their defense can't stop anyone. NY has failed to cover yet at home this season at 0-4-1 ATS. Chicago is 4-1 ATS the L5 at New York. And the Road Team is 7-1 ATS the L8 overall meetings. Take the Bears. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the FSU/BSU matchup.

Games 317/318.

4:45 pm pst.

When you talk about great college football defensive matchups, you normally refer to the SEC or the Big Ten. Well, two of the nation's better stop-units are in the MWC, and face each other on Saturday. Fresno State owns the #2 defense in college football, allowing a mere, 13.5 PPG. The Boise State "D", ranks 36th, giving up just, 22.3 PPG. Both offenses rely upon the pass as neither have found success on the ground. Of their 24 combined outings this season, 15 have gone Under the TOTAL, due to their collective, defensive prowess. As a matter of fact, the last four meetings in this series, have all gone Under the TOTAL. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take Kansas State.

This is my LVSM.
Game 533.

11:30 am pst.

Kansas State ranks 10th and at 6-0, is off to their best start in 14 years. So, giving this "elite" team a basket from a Marquette squad which really isn't as strong as LY's bunch, is a mistake. The Wildcats own the #7 defense in college basketball and will frustrate the Golden Eagles back court. Kansas State is 4-0 ATS their L4 overall, while, Marquette is 1-4 ATS their L5 overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take Texas.

Game 311.

9:30 am pst. 

Can you believe two "Red River Rivalry" battles in one season? The first meeting, at the beginning of October, saw Texas best Oklahoma, 48-45. That defeat resulted in the only blemish on the Sooners, 11-1 campaign. The OU offense can score points on any defense in the country, ranking 1st in scoring (50.3 PPG). The problem is their defense is just horrible, ranking 100th (32.8 PPG allowed overall). The team finished the regular season, getting shelled for 46, 47, 40, and 56 points. Dual-threat QB, Sam Ehlinger, makes very few mistakes and has the weaponry to keep this matchup, once again, very close. Let's not forget, the Longhorns have covered the last six meetings in this series. Take Texas. Thank you.

Take the OVER in the TEXAS/OKLAHOMA matchup.

Games 311/312.

9:30 am pst.

The first meeting, back on October 6th, combined for 93 points. The Oklahoma offense ranks 1st in points scored, averaging, 50.3 PPG. Their defense is absolutely horrible, ranking 100th, and allowing over 32.8 PPG. 11 of their 12 outings this season have gone OVER the Total. Texas has a very good offense, led by dual-threat, Sam Ehlinger (2774 YP, 64.4% CR, 23/4 in the air and 376 YR and 11 TD's on the ground). The QB has an excellent corps of receivers and two solid ball-carriers. Both defenses have been exploited by the pass as the Sooners ranks 127th and the Longhorns rank 104th. 6 of the L9 meetings have gone OVER the Total. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take Louisville.

This is my PH.

Game 519.

9:00 am pst.

Under 1st year HC, Chris Mack, Louisville is looking sharp. I like getting better than a basket here as the Cardinals have a very deep and unselfish squad. They have the back court depth to rotate Guards against the Pirates only true offensive threat, Myles Powell. Louisville has the muscle and the better FT shooting bunch here. The Cardinals are 8-1 ATS the L9 vs. the Big East. Take Louisville. Thank you.

Take Utah.

Game 305.

5:00 pm pst.

Washington looked like the pre-season, forecasted, PAC 12 powerhouse, last week, putting an end to both the Washington State seven-game win streak and their conference title hopes. Just like the mid-September meeting, the Huskies are laying under a TD here. They did best the Ute's, 21-7 back then, even before Utah's starting QB and RB (Tyler Huntley and Zack Moss) suffered season-ending injuries. On paper, U-Dub looks like the play, but after looking closely, we find that the Huskies haven't covered back-to-back games all season. Grab a magnifying glass because we are probing further. Utah's backups have filled in quite nicely. Jason Shelley and Armand Shyne are solid and also give Washington no advantage, having not seen this offense before. Washington QB, Jake Browning is "shaky" at best, therefore the Huskies rely upon RB, Myles Gaskin. But the nation's 6th ranked rush defense and the 17th overall stop unit (19.2 PPG), will get to him. I honestly feel that the "over-rated", Washington squad played their best football last week. Utah keeps this game close. Take the Utes. Thank you.

Take Buffalo.

Game 304.

4:00 pm pst.

NIU is known for their strong defense, particularly against the rush. They face the very high-scoring Buffalo offense, averaging 35.2 PPG. But the Huskies will be without DE, Josh Corcoran (8 sacks) for the first half (suspension). The Bulls have an NFL prospect in Tyree Jackson (2605 YP, 25/11). The QB has a stable of talented receivers. Northern Illinois, despite a good overall defense, is just mediocre against the pass (76th). Offensively, the Huskies rank 122nd in scoring, averaging just, 19.9 PPG. The Bulls have the defense to contain them and the offense to outscore them. Buffalo is 8-1 ATS the L9 conference games, 5-2 ATS the L7 November games, and 19-7 ATS the L26 overall games. Take the Bulls Thank you.

Take Pitt.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 732.

4:00 pm pst.

I don't have a problem laying a short price with a Pitt team that has drastically improved under new HC, Jeff Capel. They beat St. Louis outright as a 'dog and lost by just 1-point to Iowa (getting 11-points), en route to a 6-1 mark, both SU and ATS. The Panthers beat the Dukes LY, 76-64, shorthanded ,to give them 9 wins in the L10 meetings in this series SU, going 8-2 ATS. Pitt is 10-1 ATS the L11 vs. non-conference opponents, 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the A-10, 4-0 ATS the L4 on neutral sites, and 8-1 ATS the L9 overall. Take the Panthers. Thank you.

Take New Orleans.

Game 301.

5:20 pm pst.

New Orleans has rattled off 10 consecutive victories, in which they are a perfect, 5-0 on the road, both SU and ATS. With their trio of offensive stars, Dallas is riding a 3-game SU and ATS win streak. Defensively, the Saints rank 30th against the pass. But that's alright as the Cowboys have struggled offensively in the air, ranking 28th. The bigger matchup is Ezekiel Elliott going up against the #1 ranked run defense in the NFL. Without a ground game, Dallas is going to have a hard time moving the chains. New Orleans is 8-3 ATS the L11 meetings in this series. Take the Saints.

Take Indianapolis.

This is my AFC GOM.

Game 266.

1:25 pm pst.

Don't look now, but very quietly, Indianapolis has rattled off 4 consecutive SU wins. Andrew Luck has tallied some impressive stats, with 2769 YP, a 67.3% CR, and 29/9. His OL has not allowed a sack in 5 games. As a matter of fact, the QB has tied Dan Marino for 3rd all-time, tossing 3 or more TDP in 7 straight contests. This does not bode well for a porous, Miami secondary that has gotten shredded by every good QB this season. Ryan Tannehill is expected to start here. But it won't matter if it's Tannehill or Osweiler, as both are pretty bad. To make matters worse, the4 Dolphins have a banged-up OL. What a time for this to happen as the Colts "D" are starting to heat up (5 sacks and 8 TFL in LW's, 38-10 win and cover over the Titans). Miami accounts for just 15.8 PPG on the road where they are 1-4, both SU and ATS. Take Indianapolis. Thank you.

Take Pittsburgh.

This is my CONTRARIAN GOM.

Game 269.

1:25 pm pst.

Playing in Mile High is no longer an advantage for Denver, which has dropped their L3 SU at home. A red-hot, Pittsburgh team (6-0 SU L6, 5-0-1 ATS) is looking to lock up home field come the post-season. Look for the Steelers fierce pass rush to shake up the erratic, Case Keenum (11 TD's/10 INT's), and create TO's, while the 1-2 punch of QB, Ben Roethlisberger and RB, James Conner exploit the Orange "Slush." The Broncos are 7-18-1 ATS the L26 vs. AFC opponents and 1-4-1 ATS the L6 at home. Take the Steelers. Thank you.   

Take Baltimore.

This is my LVSM.

Game 254.

10:00 am pst.

Lamar Jackson adds a different dimension to the Baltimore Ravens offense. The QB ran for 119 yards in LW's, 24-21 win over Cincinnati. The entire backfield of Baltimore are salivating, knowing that they are going up against the NFL's 31st ranked run defense. Jackson will also gain confidence as a passer as well. This game is going to be won with the other big mismatch. The Ravens own the #2 defense vs. the pass, the #4 vs. the run, and the #1 overall in points allowed (18.1 PPG). The fierce, Baltimore pass rush will get to the very immobile, Derek Carr and create TO's. Let's face it, Oakland's offense is just horrible, ranking 30th, and averaging a mere, 17.0 PPG. The home team is 1-5 ATS the L8 meetings in this series. The Raiders are 1-5 ATS the L6 at the Ravens, 3-8-1 ATS the L12 on the road, and 1-5 ATS the L6 overall. Take the Ravens. Thank you.

Take Notre Dame.

This is my GOY.

Game 225.

5:00 pm pst.

Well, Notre Dame has certainly made a believer out of me. Expect nothing less than a decisive win here, to secure the Fighting Irish a spot in the College Playoff. Don't know what's going to be more of a mismatch, the offensive side or the defensive side, as Notre Dame outclasses USC on both. The Trojans are 1-6 ATS the L7 home games, 0-7 ATS the L7 vs. non-conference opponents, 1-6 ATS the L7 vs. teams with a winning record, and 6-19-1 ATS the L26 overall games. Take the Fighting Irish.

Take LSU.

This is my SEC WEST GOM.

Game 209.

4:30 pm pst.

LSU has dominated Texas A&M, winning and covering the last seven meetings in this series. We all know just how ferocious the Tigers "D" is (8th, 16.1 PPG). Mediocre QB, Kellen Mond (59.1% CR, 17/8) is on for a long day here. But, the difference-maker will be LSU QB, Joe Burrow, who's coming off his best performance of the season (307 YP, 2/0), as he faces the 104th ranked pass defense of Texas A&M. Take the Tigers. Thank you.

Take Kansas State.

This is my SHOCKER GOM.

Game 207.

4:00 pm pst.

Kansas State has taken the L10 meetings over Iowa State SU. The L4 years have been decided by 4, 3, 5, and 1 point. Kansas State is just 1 win away from bowl eligibility for the Head Coach, Bill Snyder, who may be coaching his last of 27 season's for the Wildcat's. Making a team, that outscores opponents by just, 4.5 PPG, nearly a 2 TD favorite, is a mistake. The underdog is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series. The Wildcats are 5-2 ATS the L7 vs. Conference opponents, 5-2 ATS the L7 on the road, and 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. Take Kansas State. Thank you.

Take Wyoming.

This is my MWC GOM.

Game 187.

11:30 am pst.

Riding a 3-game SU win streak, Wyoming needs 1 more victory for bowl eligibility. Meanwhile, New Mexico is on a 6-game SU slide (1-5 ATS). The Lobos are a complete train wreck. They can't pass at all, and their defense is "defense-less", ranking just about the worst in every category. To make matters worse, injuries and suspensions to major players have hit this team hard in recent weeks. Wyoming has a solid "D", but it will be Nico Evans taking this game on his shoulders. The RB has 1183 YR and 7 TD's. He will shred the 103rd run defense of New Mexico. the Lobos are 1-6 ATS the L7 at home, 1-5 ATS the L6 vs. Conference opponents, and 1-5 ATS the L6 overall. Take the Cowboys. Thank you.

Take WSU.

This is my NL.

Game 144.

5:30 pm pst.

The winner here will go on to play for the PAC 12 Title vs. Utah. The Cougars and the nations #1 passing attack have won 7 consecutive SU games, are a perfect, 6-0 SU at home, sporting a 5-1 ATS mark at Martin Stadium, en route to a 10-1 overall record, both SU and ATS. Washington is 2-3 SU on the road, going 1-4 ATS. There is no way erratic QB, Jake Browning can keep pace with Gardner Minshew here. Washington is 0-7 ATS the L7 vs. Conference opponents 0-4 ATS the L4 vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-7 ATS the L8 on the road. Washington State is 25-10 ATS the L35 vs. Conference opponents, 6-1 ATS the L7 vs. teams with a winning record, and 19-7 ATS the L26 at home. Take the Cougars. Thank you.

Take Marshall.

This is my SHOCKER.

Game 529.

3:00 pm pst.

While Maryland is off to a 5-0 start, the Terrapins are not covering the big numbers, going 1-4 ATS. Marshall is a good team that can score points. This is a squad that won their Conference last year, with wins and covers over  UTSA, Southern Miss, and Western Kentucky. They then went on to the Big Dance and ousted Wichita State, 81-75, as a 13.5-point underdog. The Thundering Herd is 4-1 ATS the L5 on the road, 6-2 ATS the L8 non-Conference games, and 21-8 ATS the L29 overall. The Terps are 0-7 ATS the L7 at home, 1-4 ATS the L5 non-Conference games, and 1-6 ATS the L7 overall. Take Marshall. Thank you.  

Take FSU.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 556.

1:30 pm pst.

This is a very short number to lay for a FSU team that's basically playing at home. LSU is ranked, but to be honest, they have had problems with teams they should be demolishing. The difference here is the stifling, "D" of the Seminoles. The Tigers are 0-4 ATS the L4 vs. the ACC while the Seminoles are 6-0 ATS the L6 vs. the SEC> Take Florida State. Thank you.

Take FSU.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 716.

6:30 pm pst.

In what is considered a "neutral" site, is still just 30 minutes up the turnpike from Orlando here. It was no fluke that Florida State went to the Elite Eight last season. This is a team with size, speed, and experience. They opened up the campaign with a 21-point win and cover over Florida. UAB is 3-0, but Mercer, New Orleans, and West Alabama are not even close to being near the same level of FSU. The Seminoles are 6-1-1 ATS the L8 vs. the Conference USA, 13-3-1 ATS the L17 non-Conference games, and 5-1-1 ATS the L7 overall games. The Blazers are 1-6 ATS the L7 vs. the ACC, 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. teams with a SU winning percentage, and 16-36 ATS the L52 on neutral sites. Take Florida State. Thank you.

Take Chicago.

This is my TURKEY SHOOT SPECIAL.

Game 105.

9:30 am pst.

Even is Mitchell Trubisky (check status) is sidelined here, which I doubt, veteran backup, Chase Daniel can get the job done against a very weak, Detroit defense. The Lions offense is even worse, accounting for 22.2 PPG. Injuries and departures have left the "O" depleted. The leaky, OL, has to deal with Khalil Mack and a Bears "D" that sacked Matthew Stafford 6 times in the 34-22, Chicago win and cover, just 11 days ago. Very quietly, the Bears stop-unit has become one of the NFL's best, ranking 11th vs. the pass, 1st vs. the run, and 4th in points allowed (19.5 PPG). Chicago is 9-3-1 ATS the L12 games played in the month of November, 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. the NFC North, 6-1 ATS the L7 vs. teams with a losing record, and 4-0 ATS the L4 overall. Take the Bears. Thank you.

Take LAC.

This is my LVSM.

Game 703.

4:05 pm pst.

Washington is perhaps the most disappointing team thus far this season, while Los Angeles has pleasantly surprised many. The Clippers bested the Wizards by 32 points, back on October 28th, to give Los Angeles a 4-game cover streak over Washington. Defensively and on the glass, the Wizards just can't compete here. LAC is 9-2 ATS the L11 vs. the NBA Southwest and 4-1 ATS the L5 overall. Washington is 0-7 ATS the L7 vs. the Western Conference and 5-13 ATS the L18 overall. Take the Clippers. Thank you.

Take USC.

This is my OM play.

Game 581.

6:30 pm pst.

This game should be closer to a pick'em. Texas tech has been a favorite of 33.5, 33.5, and 25 points in their 3 outings thus far. This is the first test for the Red Raiders and their young and inexperienced starting squad. So Cal is back at 100% and has a seasoned cast of savvy, unselfish players. The Trojans are 7-1 ATS their L8 vs. the Big 12 and 10-1 their L11 on neutral sites. The Red Raiders are 0-6 ATS their L6 vs. the PAC 12 and 3-10-1 ATS their L14 overall. Take USC. Thank you.

Take Arizona.

This is my LVSM.

Game 559.

6:00 pm pst.

A very good, Arizona team will exploit a shorthanded, Iowa State squad plagued with injuries and suspensions. The Cyclones, who finished last season dropping 7 straight, are outmanned and outclassed here. The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS the L5 on neutral sites, 18-6 ATS the L24 vs. the BIG 12, and 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Take KC.

This is my VI play.

game 473.

5:15 pm pst.

In what may be a preview of the Super Bowl, got to take the points with a KC squad riding a 4-game SU win streak and is 8-2 ATs on the season. LA is a very good team but their defense is starting to spring leaks. This, at the same time the Chiefs "D" is tightening up. KC is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings in this series, 5-1 ATS the L6 MNF games, and 12-3 ATS the L15 overall. LA is 2-6 ATS the L8 at home, 2-6 ATD the L8 MNF games, and 1-6 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Chiefs. Thank you.

Take Portland.

This is my VI.

Game 703.

3:05 pm pst.

In the first meeting, about a month ago, Washington pulled off a 1-point, OT, win. This is just about the only bright spot for the Wizards this season. This game is all about rebounding, and Portland is very good on the boards, ranking 1st offensively, and 13th defensively. The Trailblazers are 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the Eastern Conference, 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the NBA Southeast, and 7-3 ATS the L10 overall. The Wizards are 0-6 ATS the L6 vs. the western Conference, 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the NBA Northwest, and 5-12 ATS the L17 overall. Take Portland. Thank you.

Take the Los Angeles Chargers,

This is my AFC WEST GOM.

Game 468.

1:05 pm pst.

Don't look now, but the Chargers are striding, with 6 consecutive SU wins. I don't have a problem laying a TD with LA as they return home to a friendly, Stub Hub Center crowd after 2 road wins and covers. They face a rival, Denver team that is on a 1-6 SU and 3-5 ATS slides. Philip Rivers is having another great season (67.3% CR, 2459 YP, 21/4), but it is Melvin Gordon that will take this game on his shoulders. The standout, RB, goes up against the 26th ranked rush defense of the Broncos. Denver is 3-11 ATS the L14 on the road, 0-6 ATS the L6 in November, and 5-15-1 ATS the L21 overall. Los Angeles is 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. losers, 6-0 ATS the L6 in November, and 4-1 ATS the L5 overall. Take the Chargers. Thank you.

Take Pittsburgh.

This is my Crusher play.

Game 471.

10:00 am pst.

Pittsburgh lost both meetings to Jacksonville LY, including a mid-January matchup that got them bounced from the post-season. Right now, these are 2 very different teams. The Steelers have won 5 in a row, both SU and ATS, while the Jaguars have dropped their L5, both SU and ATS. Jacksonville is known for their pass defense, but haven't faced a top-tier QB of the caliber of Big Ben, since a Week 2 meeting with Tom Brady and the Patriots. Leonard Fournette is back but he must line up against the #4 rush defense in the NFL. The Jags are averaging just, 17.8 PPG which won't be nearly enough for a Steelers "O" accounting for over 31.0 PPG. The Road team is 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.

Take UT-Arlington.

This is my ATR.

Game 712.

10:00 am pst.

UC-Davis has been point spread poison, going 0-4 ATS this season. The Aggies just don't have the personnel to contend with a scrappy, Mavericks squad that is 4-1 ATS the L5 at home and 27-10 ATS the L37 non-conference matchups. Take UT-Arlington. Thank you.  

Take Washington State.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 378.

7:30 pm pst.

Washington State is no longer an under-the-radar secret. The Cougars lead the PAC 12 North, with a 6-1record in the conference, en route to a 9-1 overall mark (both SU and ATS). The big mismatch here is the Wazzu #1 ranked passing unit, going up against the 91st ranked pass "D" of 'Zona. They get payback from last year's, 58-37 loss to the Wildcats. Take Washington. State. Thank you.   

Take Fresno State.

This is my HR.

Game 422.

7:30 pm pst.

Fresno State needs a win here to lock up the MWC West. This is a team that comes off a loss after a 7-game win and cover streak. The Bulldogs own the #5 stop-unit in the nation, yielding just, 13.5 PPG, while possessing an offense ranking 16th, averaging 38.1 PPG. San Diego State has no offense to compete here, score for score. The Aztecs are 1-6 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take Fresno State. Thank you.

Take Saint Louis.

This is my LVSM

Game 527.

5:00 pm pst.

Travis Ford has his Saint Louis team a pre-season fav to take the A-10. This is a team that runs at a fast pace, with a deep, and experienced squad. Seton Hall had problems with the Nebraska back court, so facing Bess, Goodwin, and Isabell, is going to be a nightmare. The Pirates lost a ton of talent and their leadership from last season. Coach Ford wants this early, signature win. Take the Billikens. Thank you.

Take Rice.

This is my UD GOM.

Game 395.

4:30 pm pst.

At 1-10 SU, Rice is just deplorable. The Owls are 0-6 SU as a road team this season. But, one good thing about being so bad...huge point spreads. They get the bettors paid, going 4-2 ATS on the road in 2018, while covering three straight as an underdog of 24 or more points. LSU has not won a game by a margin of this size since September of 2014 (56-0 vs. Sam Houston, 63-7 vs. New Mexico State). With a record of 0-5 ATS the last five vs. non-conference opponents in Baton Rouge, and having Texas A&M up next, it's just too many points to lay here. Take Rice. Thank you.

Take Iowa.

This is my BIG TEN WEST GOM.

Game 323.

12:30 pm pst.

This line opened up at -16, and I liked it then. As a successful "contrarian" gambler, I love when the general public is against me. Illinois is 0-5 ATS the L5 games played as double digit underdog and now with the teams only offensive weapon, RB, Reggie Corbin, banged-up (foot, check status), I don't mind laying the wood here with an Iowa team looking for a little redemption after three straight losses. The Hawkeyes have won the L4 years over the Fighting Illini, by an average of, 20.5 PPG (3-1 ATS). Take Iowa. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my TEN DIMES PLAY.

Game 367.

11:30 am pst.

In a game set in Yankee Stadium, there is no home field advantage for Notre Dame here. As a matter of fact, there will be a large amount or Orange in the stands. The Fighting Irish are a solid football team, however, they still haven't played a top-tier opponent since a Week 1meeting with the Wolverines. Making Eric Dungey (2193 YP, 14 TD's in the air and 690 YR, 12 TD's on the ground) and a Syracuse offense that's posting, 44.4 PPG a 10.5-point underdog, is an early Christmas present. This is a team that had Clemson on the ropes back in September. The Orange is 5-2 ATS the L7 neutral site games, 4-0-1 ATS the L5 non-conference games, 9-1-1 ATS the L11 games following a SU win, 9-3 ATS the L12 games vs. teams with a winning record, and 7-2-1 ATS the last 10 overall games. Take Syracuse. Thank you.

Take BSU.

This is my FNL.

Game 317.

6:00 pm pst.

BSU is 1 GB USU in the MWC Mountain division. The Broncos need to keep their foot on the gas here, especially because they face USU in the final regular season game. So, I have no problem laying wood against division cellar dweller, New Mexico. The Lobos sport some of the nation's worst defensive rankings. BSU is 5-0-1 ATS the L6 vs. teams with a losing record and 8-3-1 ATS the L12 on the road. New Mexico is 2-8 ATS the L10 vs. Conference foes and 1-5 ATS the L6 at home. Take the Broncos. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

This is my BB.

Game 501.

5:05 pm pst.

Houston is having problems scoring, ranking near the worst in the NBA in every major offensive category. Even without Curry, Golden State can score. The Rockets are now plagued with illness to some of their supporting cast. The Warriors are 11-5 ATS the L16 at the Rockets and 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. the NBA SW. The Rockets are 1-5 ATS the L6 at home and 1-6 ATS the L7 vs. the Western Conference. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Take Portland.

Game 721.

7:35 pm pst.

Expect a tight game here as each team has won and covered the 2 meetings this season. However, Portland is red-hot, riding a 7-1 SU and ATS run. LA is just 1-6 ATS at the Staples Center. The Blazers are 23-8 ATS the L31 at the Lakers and 45-18 ATS the L63 vs. the Lakers. Take Portland. Thank you.

Take San Antonio.

This is my LVSM.

Game 719.

6:05 pm pst.

San Antonio beat Phoenix by 30 points on Halloween night, to give to Spurs their 14th SU win over the L15 meetings against the Suns. Not much I can say about a Phoenix team sporting a 2-11 record. San Antonio is 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. the NBA pacific, while Phoenix is 2-7 ATS the L9 vs. the Western Conference. Take the Spurs. Thank you.

Take Toronto.

This is my CRUSHER play.

Game 708.

4:35 pm pst.

With an NBA best overall, 12-2 record, Toronto is a true force. After their first loss of the campaign, the Raptors rattled off 6 consecutive SU wins (5-1 ATS), by an average of 13.0 PPG. The Detroit offense is non-existent, and can not keep pace with the NBA's #4 scoring "O". Toronto is 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. the East and 4-1 ATS the L5 overall. Take the Raptors. Thank you.

Take Buffalo.

This is my WMW.

Game 303.

4:00 pm pst.

Buffalo needs 1 more win to lock up the MAC East. This is a very healthy squad, listing zero injuries in mid-November. Ohio is banged-up and can not defend the pass (112th). The Bulls are 5-2 ATS the L7 meetings in this series, 4-0 ATS the L4 games on the road, and 7-0 ATS the L7 games played in the Conference. Take Buffalo. Thank you.

Take UL Monroe.

This is my Shocker play.

Game 731.

4:00 pm pst.

This is way too many points to give a scrappy, UL Monroe squad, which has a habit of covering bug numbers against ranked teams. The Spartans are 1-4 ATS the L5 at home, 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the Sunbelt, and 1-6 ATS the L7 overall. take the Warhawks. Thank you.

Take WMU.

Game 301.

3:00 pm pst.

Both teams have backup QB's starting here, but WMU's, Eleby, is a bit more reliable. The Broncos are a rushing team anyway. BSU can not stop the run, ranking 113th nationally. The Cardinals have worse problems offensively, where that account for just, 22.7 PPG. WMU comes off a bye week, rested and better prepared here. The Broncos are 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series. Take WMU. Thank you.

Take Utah.

This is my CRASH THE BOARDS play.

Game 739.

6:00 pm pst.

Utah can play defense. This is an experienced and disciplined squad, loaded with talent. Minnesota has several freshman starters and without Forward, Eric Curry (knee), the stronger front court of Utah will dominate in the paint. The Golden Gophers are 2-5 ATS the L7 non-conference games, 2-7 ATS the L9 home games, and 7-19 ATS the L26 overall games. Take the Utes. Thank you.

Take Memphis.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 710.

5:05 pm pst.

After playing 3 straight home games, Utah goes on the road where they have lost and failed to cover their L2. To make matters worse for the Jazz, they are a dismal, 2-8 ATS the L10 meetings vs. the Grizzlies. These 2 teams have met twice already this season, with both contests being played in Salt Lake City, as Memphis won and covered each, as a visitor. Now, the Grizzlies host the Jazz at the Fed Ex Forum, where they are a perfect, 5-0, both SU and ATS on the season. Mike Conley, who leads the squad in both points and assists, has dominated both matchups, averaging 26.0 PPG. Memphis owns the #1 defense in the NBA, allowing a mere, 101.1 PPG and they are riding an 8-0 ATS mark their L8 games played at home. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you.  

Take Atlanta.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 253.

10:00 am pst.

With 3 consecutive SU wins (2-1 ATS), Atlanta's, Matt Ryan is putting up MVP numbers (70.8% CR, 2685 YP, 19/3). The QB heads up the NFL's 2nd best air attack. This doesn't bode well for a Cleveland "D" that ranks 29th vs. the pass. Offensively, the Browns just can't keep pace with the high-flying, Falcons "O". Take Atlanta. Thank you

Take Chicago.

This is my NFC NORTH GOM.

Game 266.

10:00 am pst.

The Bears need every division win they can get right now, and playing the Lions will give them what they need. With back-to-back losses, Detroit's offense is awful, accounting for a combined 23 total points, while their OL has yielded 12 sacks in those 2 outings. Khalil Mack will return here to lead one of the League's most-ferocious defenses. Look for RB, Jordan Howard to explode against the 30th ranked run defense of Detroit. Chicago is 4-1 ATS the L5 games played at home. Take the Bears. Thank you.

Take New Orleans.

This is my LVSM.

Game 255.

10:00 am pst.

New Orleans has rattled off 7 consecutive SU wins, and 6 straight covers. The Cincinnati defense is giving up over 29.6 PPG and ranks dead-last vs. the pass. In comes Drew Brees and the NFL's #2 scoring offense (34.9 PPG). Andy Dalton is without his top receiver, AJ Green and just can't trade blows with Brees here. The Saints are 19-7 ATS the L26 on the road, 5-2 ATS the L7 in November, and 40-17-1 ATS the L58 vs. winners. Take New Orleans. Thank you.

Take New England.

This is my VI Move.

Game 259.

10:00 am pst.

Sports fans, New England is rolling, as the Patriots are on a 6-game win streak, going 5-1 ATS. Going back to '03, Tennessee has lost 7 in a row in this series SU, failing to the L5 (1-6 ATS overall). The Titans just don't have the offense (16.8 PPG) to keep pace with Tom Brady and the Patriots mighty "O." New England is 16-5 ATS the L21 on the road, 23-8 ATS the L31 vs. the AFC, and 37-16 ATS the L53 overall. Take the Patriots. Thank you.

Take UAB.

This is my HR.

Game 218.

4:30 pm pst.

UAB is streaking, riding a 7-game win streak, both SU and ATS. The Blazers own a perfect, 5-0 mark at home (SU and ATS), outscoring visitors by an average of 27.4 PPG. Their #1 nationally ranked defense (12.1 PPG allowed) will ensure they stay perfect in C-USA play. Take UAB. Thank you.

Take Cincinnati.

This is my AAC GOM.

Game 156.

4:00 pm pst.

South Florida's weaknesses have been exposed in their L2 outings, yielding 1110 yards in losses to Houston and Tulane. The Bulls can not stop the rush, ranking 124th in run defense. They now face the 15th ranked bearcats ground attack. Defensively, Cincinnati owns the #6 stop-unit (14.0 PPG allowed) in the nation. In my opinion, Like Fickell deserves Coach Of The Year. Take the Bearcats. Thank you.

Take Northwestern.

This is my OM PLAY.

Game 153.

12:P30 pm pst.

I don't think that Iowa has the offense to lay DD's here, against an underrated and undervalued, Northwestern team that have a good chance at the Big Ten West title. The Wildcats have won and covered the last two years in this matchup, each by seven points, and own a remarkable, 20-5-1 ATS mark their last 26 games played in the conference. Take Northwestern. Thank you.

Take Ohio State.

Game 219.

9:00 am pst.

As of print, there are mostly 3.5's around on this game. Buy it down, for the extra few cents, just to air on the side of caution. However, my power ratings have Ohio State at least a seven-point favorite. The Buckeyes have not covered over their last five outings. But, this is their opportunity to widen the pad over the Spartans and keep pressure on the Wolverines in the Big Ten East title race. Michigan State might be good against the run, but their defense is horrible against the pass. Urban Meyer is an excellent strategist and whether you like him or not, the head coach wins in big games. Take Ohio State. Thank you.

Take Boston.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 511.

6:35 pm pst.

Utah is less than a stellar at home this season, sporting a 1-4 SU mark in Salt Lake City. So, getting 4 points with Boston is solid. Celtics Forward, Gordon Hayward will turn it up tonight as he faces his former team. Boston is 4-1 ATS the L5 overall meetings and 5-2 ATS the L7 meetings in Utah. Utah is 2-6 ATS the L8 games played at home and 1-4 ATS the L5 games played overall. Take the Celtics. Thank you.

Take St. Joe's.

This is my PH play.

Game 540.

4:30 pm pst.

St. Joe's plays against much stronger competition in the A-10, than does Old Dom in the C-USA. The Hawks are now healthy and face a Monarchs squad still trying to get in-sync after losing 2 of their best players from last season. St. Joe's is 7-2-1 ATS their L10 games played at home and 5-0 ATS their L5 games played overall. Take the Hawks. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my Consensus.

Game 112.

4:00 pm pst.

Louisville has had their way with Syracuse the L4 years, winning and covering all 4 matchups, including a 56-10 whooping, a season ago. Well, the Cardinals and the Orange are 2 very different teams this season. Louisville is 2-7 SU, riding a 1-9 ATS run, which includes an 0-4 road mark TY, both SU and ATS. Syracuse, at 2-7 SU, is 5-0 at home, going 3-1-1 ATS. The Cardinals are 0-4 ATS their L4 conference games, 0-5 ATS their L5 road games, and 6-20 ATS their L26 overall games. Take the Orange. Thank you.

Take UNC.

This is my Crusher Play.

game 529.

4:00 pm pst.

North Carolina had a bit of a scare in their season opening win and cover against Wofford. So, expect Roy Williams and his boys to come out blazing here. The front court of the Tar Heels will score at will against a Phoenix squad riding a 1-7 mark, both SU and ATS. UNC is 4-0 ATS their L4 vs. CAA, while Elon is 3-7 ATS their L10 vs. non-conference opponents. Take the Tar Heels. Thank you.

Take Green Bay.

This is my Consensus Play.

Game 516.

1:30 pm pst.

Green Bay has more talent here. The Phoenix also get the bettors paid, going 5-2 ATS their L7 overall contests. Indiana State's defense id horrible and crush followers, going 2-5 ATS the L7 road games, 1-4 ATS the L5 non-conference games, and 1-7 ATS the L8 overall games. Take Green Bay. Thank you.

Take Georgia Washington.

This is my LAY UP play.

Game 714.

4:00 pm pst.

After a season-opening loss to Stonybrook, George Washington gets on track here against an inferior team from an inferior conference. The Saints are 1-8 ATS the L9 games played on the road and 4-10-1 ATS the L15 games played overall. Take the Colonials. Thank you.

Take Connecticut.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 712.

4:00 pm pst.

Morehead State finished last in the Ohio Valley Conference last year, with a 4-14 record. Connecticut comes off a very subpar season and must come out here, at home, and get a confidence-builder, to start the campaign. They had one exhibition contest in which they routed Southern Connecticut, 96-64. The Eagles are 4-14-2 ATS the L17 non-conference games. Take the Huskies. Thank you.

Take Indiana.

This is my ESPN WINNER.

Game 514.

5:05 pm pst.

Philly is 6-0 Su at home this season. But, the 76ers are 0-5, both SU and ATS on the road, being outscored by an average of 15.2 PPG. As a matter of fact, going back to last season, this team is 0-8 ATS their L8 away from home. Indiana is playing solid basketball, with accurate shooting and smothering defense. The Pacers have taken 4 of the L5 meetings in this series, both SU and ATS. Indiana is 13-3 ATS the L16 games played vs. the NBA Atlantic, 9-4 ATS the L13 games played at home, and 22-8 ATS the L30 game splayed vs. the Eastern Conference. Take the Pacers. Thank you.

Take Ohio.

This is my TD play.

Game 103.

4:00 pm pst.

Ohio has dominated Miami-Oh, taking 11 of the L12 meetings SU, going 8-3-1 ATS, including 4 straight wins and covers. The big difference here is the ground game of the Bobcats, which rank 15th nationally. Don't mind laying a short number with an Ohio squad that needs a win to contend with Buffalo for the MAC East title. The Bobcats are 14-6 ATS the L20 on the road, 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. conference foes, and 6-2 ATS the L8 vs. losers. Take Ohio. Thank you.

Dallas and their #1 ranked defense is back at home after having a week off. The well-rested, Cowboys are 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS at AT&T Stadium. This will be the debut of newly acquired, star WR, Amari Cooper. Expect QB, Dak Prescott to hook frequently with his new weapon. Tennessee ranks 30th in scoring, averaging just 15.1 PPG. QB, Marcus Mariota's throwing arm issues, along with the absence of TE, Delanie Walker (out), has crushed the Titans, offensively. Throw in the mix the fact that their "D" ranks 19th vs. the rush and must face Ezekiel Elliott and one of the best ground attacks in the NFL, and it spells trouble for the team. Dallas is 13-6 ATS the L19 games played following a bye week. Take the Cowboys. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 465.

1:05 pm pst.

Houston has won 5 in a row to take hold of 1st place in the AFC South, at 5-3, as DeShaun Watson looks like he's back at 100%. Denver is a mess. HC, Vance Joseph is on the hot-seat, as the Broncos are 1-5 SU their L6, with the only victory, coming over a 2-6 Cardinals squad. Denver only "contends" because of their ground game. But, facing the 7th ranked run defense of Houston will totally shut down the Broncos offense. Denver is 0-5 ATS the L5 in November, 5-15-1 ATS the L21 vs. the AFC, 2-6-1 ATS the L9 at home, and 5-14-1 ATS the L20 overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Pittsburgh.

This is my AFC NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH.

Game 455.

10:00 am pst.

Do you believe in coincidences? Pittsburgh has rattled off 3 straight wins and covers, coinciding with 3 consecutive 100+ yards performances for RB, James Conner. Baltimore has dropped their L2 games (both SU and ATS), as their defense yielded a combined, 60 points. The Steelers are a much better team than in the late-September matchup. The Road team is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.

Take Washington.

This is my VEGAS INSIDER PLAY.

Game 462.

10:00 am pst.

Winning and covering 3 straight, the Redskins are playing solid football. They own the top-spot in the NFC East at 5-2, while the Falcons are tied with the Bucs for the bottom-spot in the NFC South at 3-4. Washington is 3-1 SU and ATS at home while Atlanta is 0-2 both SU and ATS on the road. The Redskins offense, behind Adrian Peterson, is starting to roll. Look for AP to get another 100 plus yards here and allow Alex Smith to open up the passing game. Let's face it, the Falcons defense is deplorable (30.3 PPG allowed). Atlanta is 1-5 ATS the L6 on the road, 1-6 ATS the L7 following a SU win, and 1-4 ATS the L5 overall. Washington is 6-1 ATS the L7 at home, 5-1 ATS the L6 vs. the NFC, and 7-2 ATS the L9 in November. Take the Redskins. Thank you.

Take Florida International.

This is my CONFERENCE USA GOM.

Game 418.

4:30 pm pst.

 Revenge is a dish best served cold. Lane Kiffin and FAU ran up the score in last year's, 52-24 meeting with FIU. But these are two very different teams this year. The Owls, at 3-5 SU,  and just 1-7 ATS overall this season, are riding an 0-5 ATS away skid and an 0-4 ATS mark their last four games against teams with a winning record. Take Florida International. Thank you.

Take Utah.

This is my NO LIMIT PLAY.

Game 379.

1:00 pm pst.

Utah needs to keep their foot on the gas to take the PAC 12 South crown. Arizona State had their first November victory, eking out a three-point win over a beat-up, USC squad. The Utes 14th ranked "D" gets revenge from last season's, 30-10 defeat. Take Utah. Thank you.

Take Iowa.

This is my HIGH ROLLER.

Game 323.

12:30 pm pst.

Both teams come off disappointing losses and both need to win here to stay in the Big Ten West mix. The 11th ranked Iowa defense is just too strong. Throw into the equation that the road team is 8-0 ATS the last eight meetings in this series and that the Hawkeyes have covered the last four at the Boilermakers, and that equals up to a play on the 'dog. Take Iowa. Thank you.

Take Kansas State.

This is my Consensus Play.

Game 399.

12:30 pm pst.

TCU is point spread poison, having not covered a game since mid-September (0-5 ATS run). The Horned Frogs shouldn't be laying better than a TD to any team above the High School level. Kansas State is 5-0 ATS their last five games played following a SU loss, while TCU is on an 0-7 ATS run vs. conference opponents. Take Kansas State. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my LVSM play.

Game 701.

4:05 pm pst.

Los Angeles has dominated Orlando, taking the L9 meetings in this series SU (6-3 ATS). Orlando has no "O" whatsoever, ranking in the bottom of the League in just about every offensive category. The Clippers can score points and will once again dominate the Magic here. The Road team is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Los Angeles is 5-2 ATS the L7 games played at Orlando. Orlando is 3-8 ATS the L11 games played at home. Take the Clippers. Thank you.

Take NIU.

This is my TD play.

Game 311.

4:00 pm pst.

NIU has had no problems dispensing with Akron, having won the last four meetings SU, going 3-1 ATS. The Huskies enter this contest red-hot, riding a four-game win streak (3-1 ATS). Remember, this is a team that is perfect in conference play and need to stay that way. Take the Huskies. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my LVSM.

Game 714.

7:35 pm pst.

Los Angeles swept Dallas at the Staples Center LY, winning and covering by an average of 16.0 PPG, That was before LeBron joined the Lake show. The Home Team is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Take the Lakers. Thank you.

Take Denver.

This is my NL.

Game 703.

5:05 pm pst.

At 5-1, Denver has the 2nd best record in the West. The Nuggets have dominated the Bulls, winning 5 consecutive meetings SU and 7 of the L8 ATS. With a Top-10 defense in just about every category, Denver matches up well with the struggling, Chicago squad. The Nuggets are 4-0 ATS the L4 games played at the Bulls and 20-8-1 ATS the L29 overall meetings vs. the Bulls. Take Denver. Thank you.

Take Indiana.

This is my ESPN WINNER.

Game 705.

5:05 pm pst.

Indiana is playing solid basketball, hitting 50.1% from the field, 43.0% beyond the arc, and possessing a stifling defense, ranking 3rd in the League. The 2 best players on the court are Oladipo, Turner, and Evans. All just happen to be on the Pacers. Indiana is 7-2 ATS the L9 games played on the road, 20-7 ATS the L29 games played vs. the Eastern Conference, and 10-4 ATS the L14 games played overall. Take the Pacers. Thank you.

Take San Antonio.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 716.

5:35 pm pst.

The Spurs didn't cover any of the 4 meetings vs. the Mavericks last season. But, this is an ideal spot for a little payback. Dallas has dropped 3 in a row SU, is 0-3 on the road this season, and played last night. The Mavericks are 0-4 ATS the L4 games played on 0 days rest. The Spurs are 12-3 ATS the L15 games played at home. Take san Antonio. Thank you.

Take Washington.

This is my NFC EAST GOM.

Game 259.

10:00 am pst.

These 2 NFC East rivals, are going in opposite directions. Washington leads the Division at 4-2, while New York dwells in the cellar at 1-6. Eli Manning and a Giants OL that has more holes than the Titanic, are in for a long day here as they go up against the very tough, Front-7 of the Redskins, that rank 3rd vs. the rush and 13th vs. the pass. Look for QB, Alex Smith to pass off the run, utilizing RB, Adrian Peterson. Take the Redskins. Thank you.

Take UNDER in the PHILLY/JAX  matchup.

This is my NFL TOTAL OF THE MONTH.

Games 251/252.

6:30 am pst.

This game is being played in London, England, where a long airplane ride and a time change will weigh on both teams. Let's be honest, neither offense is lighting up scoreboards. With penalty problems and dropped passes, the Eagles are a far cry from last year's Super Bowl Champs. The Jaguars, (who were also highly-touted), are on a 1-4 SU and ATS run, in which in those 4 losses, they accounted for a total of 34 points. Defensively, both stop-units rank in the NFL's Top-10 in Points Allowed, as Philadelphia owns the #1 ranked pass defense and Jacksonville possesses the #2 ranked rush defense. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take UAB.

This is my NL.

Game 155.

4:30 pm pst.

UAB is money, going 16-5-1 ATS their L22 games. The Blazers  are sporting a 6-1 (both SU and ATS) mark this season and are a perfect, 3-0 ATS laying DD's. They are also 4-0 in Conf USA play and must win to stay atop the Division. UTEP is riding a 19-game SU losing streak. the Miners have one of the worst scoring offenses in the nation and are facing one of college football's best defenses here. UTEP is 4-10 ATS the L14 games played at home. Take UAB. Thank you.

Take Washington State.

This is my PAC 12 GOM.

Game 161.

4:00 pm pst.

This is a huge, PAC 12 North contest, with serious conference implications. We must side with a Washington State team that is a perfect, 7-0 ATS this season, and owns the nation's #1 ranked passing offense (400.7 YPG in the air). QB, Gardner Minshew (2745 YP, 69.8% CR, 23/6) will carve up a Stanford pass defense that ranks 100th in college football. The Cougars can score points on any squad in the land, but it is their defense that will shine here, as they match up well with the erratic, Cardinal "O". Take Washington State. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my ACC GOM.

Game 156.

4:00 pm pst.

Giving a hot-handed, Syracuse team 2.5 points at home is a gift. NC State got routed by Clemson LW, 41-7, and will come in here shell-shocked. BTW, the 'Cuse went to the mat in a 27-23 loss to Clemson as a 24-point 'dog, just a month ago. The Orange can score points, a lot of points, and very fast. The Underdog is 6-1 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. Take Syracuse. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

This is my OM play.

Game 175.

1:00 pm pst.

They have the wrong favorite in this game. Despite their 14-7 win over Vandy LW, Kentucky slept through the game. Expect the bowl-eligible, SEC East Title seeking Wildcats and their #2 ranked defense (12.9 PPG Allowed) to contain Tigers QB, Lock. Take Kentucky.

Thank you.

Take Army.

This is my HR.

Game 141.

9:00 am pst.

EMU can not stop the rush, ranking 112th vs. the run. In comes Army and their #2 ranked ground attack. Defensively, the Black Knights match up well here. They have also taken 6 of the L7 meetings in this series, including the L3. Take Army. Thank you.

Take Purdue.

This is my BIG TEN GOM.

Game 187.

9:00 am pst.

Don't expect a "letdown" for Purdue here, after beating Ohio State, 49-20 LW. The Boilermakers have been hot, winning 4 in a row SU and their L5 ATS. Michigan State's offense is stagnant, and defensively, rank 117th vs. the pass. Purdue QB, Blough and his 6th ranked passing unit will light it up here. The Boilermakers are 4-1 ATS the L5 games played at the Spartans and 5-1 ATS the L6 games played vs. Conference foes. The Spartans are 0-4 ATS the L4 games played at home and 2-5 ATS the L7 games played overall. Take Purdue. Thank you.

Take Boston.

This is my WS GAME 3 WINNER.

Game 905.

5:05 pm pst.

Boston has taken Games 1 and 2 of the World Series, by a combined, 12-6. When it comes to playing on the road, the Red Sox are 56-30 this season, averaging over 5.21 RPG as a visitor. RH, Rick Porcello is 22-8 in 41 career IL games. RH, Walker Buehler is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in this post-season. Boston is 9-3 the l12 games played vs. Los Angeles, 5-0 the L5 games played on the road, and 6-0 the L6 playoff games. Take the Red Sox. Thank you.

Take WMU.

This is my TD play.

Game 106.

4:00 pm pst.

WMU has rattled off 6 consecutive SU victories while Toledo has dropped their L2 outings SU and are riding a 4-game ATS skid. The Broncos have the stringer defense, by far and the Home Team is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Take WMU. Thank you.

Take the OVER.

Games 901/902.

5:05 pm pst.

LH, Clayton Kershaw owns a career, post-season record of 9-8, with an ERA if 4.09, while LH, Chris Sale possesses a lifetime, playoff mark of 1-2 with a 5.85 ERA. Boston has the #1 scoring offense averaging 5.41 RPG overall. But when at home, the Bosox account for even more runs, posting a whopping, 5.69 RPG at Fenway park. LA's offense ranks 5th, putting up 4.93 RPG but oddly enough, the Dodgers score even more on the road, tallying 5.34 RPG as a visitor. The OVER is 4-0 in Kershaw's L4 road starts and 15-5-2 in the Red Sox' L22 overall. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take Philly.

This is my NL.

Game 701.

4:05 pm pst.

Philadelphia has won and covered the L4 in this series. Detroit, with a new look, and new players, are still trying to mesh and just do not have the backcourt to contend with Reddick and Simmons. Take the 76ers. Thank you.

Take the OVER in the Giants/Falcons matchup.

Games 475/476.

5:15 pm pst.

Both, the Giants and Falcons are considered 2 of the most disappointing NFL teams so far this season. New York's defense ranks 26th and Atlanta's "D" ranks 31st. Neither can stop anyone. But, both Eli Manning and Matt Ryan can pass the ball. So expect a high-scoring contest. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take New England.

This is my CONTRARIAN GOM.

 Game 453.

10:00 am pst.

I have made a successful and profitable career going against the grain. Just about everyone I know and most of the gaming publications are all taking the Bears here. We saw the line move from -3.5, down to -3, and as of print, -2.5. After 3 wins in a row, Chicago came back down to Earth last week, in a 31-28 loss at Miami. Meanwhile, New England has won 3 in a row and are just a 1/2-point from covering their L3. The Bears defense held opponents to13.6 PPG during their 3-game win streak. But they didn't face any great offenses and now with Khalil Mack hobbled (ankle, but scheduled to play here), and not 100%, I am siding with Bill Belichick, who has Terrific Tom on offense and will have some surprises on defense for Chicago's rookie QB, Trubisky. The Favorite is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. The Patriots are 14-5 ATS the L19 on the road, 36-15-2 ATS the L53 in October, and 31-13 ATS the L44 overall. Take New England. Thank you.
