Take Minnesota.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 465.

10:00 am pst.

Sam Darnold has looked like a veteran QB his L2 outings, lighting up Denver and Indianapolis, who are a combined, 3-9. Now, the rookie must line up against a legitimate, NFL stop-unit. BTW, prior to that 2-game win streak, the New York offense accounted for just, 12, 17, and 12 points against Miami, Cleveland, and Jacksonville. Minnesota QB, Kirk Cousins (1921 YP, 71.2% CR, 12/3) is going to decimate a Jets pass "D" that ranks 22nd in the League.  If the Vikings are going to make a run at the NFC Title, they MUST start now. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Take Phoenix.

This is my CTB.

Game 515.

6:05 pm pst.

This is way too many points to give a Phoenix team with a healthy, Devin Booker now on the court. Moreover, the Suns have won and covered 4 straight visits to the Pepsi Center. Phoenix is 4-0 ATS their L4 on the road, while Denver is 1-4 ATS their L5 at home. Take the Suns. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

Game 962.

5:05 pm pst.

Milwaukee forced a Game 7 today with a decisive, 7-2 victory yesterday. LA, once again, showed an erratic offense. The Dodgers give Walker Beuhler the road start. The RH got lit up in Game 3 for 4 runs and 6 hits in the loss and owns a 3.45 road ERA on the season. Jhoulys Chacin is 2-0 in this year's playoffs, permitting 6 hits in 10 1/3 scoreless IP. The Dodgers are 4-13 the L17 League Championship road games while the Brewers are 4-1 the L5 playoff home games. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Take Boston.

This is my ATR.

Game 507.

4:35 pm pst.

Boston took 3 of 4 meetings over New York last season, by an average of 20.0 PPG. That was without Gordon Hayward, while the Knicks had Kristaps Porzzingis for 3 of those 4 meetings, who is now sidelined. The Celtics are a monster moneymaker on the road, as they went 28-13 ATS as a visitor LY. Boston is 4-1 ATS the L5 at New York. Take the Celtics. Thank you.

Take Kentucky.

This is my SEC EAST GOM.

Game 312.

4:30 pm pst.

This situation benefits the Wildcats, who come off a bye week, rested and looking for vengeance, after dropping their first game of the season. Kentucky won and covered the L2 meetings in this series, and enter this year's matchup, 5-1 overall, and vying for the SEC East Title, behind the #4 ranked defense in the nation. Vanderbilt comes off back-to-back SU losses (1-4 SU L5) to Georgia and Florida, while failing to cover 4 straight. The Commodores defense will once again get steamrolled on the ground. The Favorite is 7-2 ATS the L9 meetings in this series. Vanderbilt is 1-9-1 ATS the L11 vs. conference opponents, 3-7-1 ATS the L11 vs. teams with a winning record, and 0-5-1 ATS the L6 games played in the month of October. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Take Fresno State.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 361.

4:30 pm pst.

Fresno State isn't just a winning team, at 5-1 SU, the Bulldogs also get the bettors paid, with a 5-1 ATS mark this season. They have dominated New Mexico, winning and covering the L6 meetings. They are currently riding a 4-game win and cover streak behind an outstanding passing game and one of the toughest defenses in the nation. QB, McMaryion (1578 YP, 71.4% CR, 11/2) will shred the 112th ranked pass defense of the Lobos. The UNM offense will get completely shut down by the 2nd ranked FSU "D" (13.5 PPG allowed). The Lobos 1-5 ATS the L6 Conference games, 0-4 ATS the L4 home games, and 3-8 ATS the L11 overall games. The Bulldogs are 36-17-1 ATS the L54 Conference games, 9-1-1 ATS the L11 road games, and 22-4-1 ATS the L27 overall games. Take Fresno State. Thank you.

Take Utah State.

This is my MWC GOM.

Game 359.

11:30 am pst.

Utah State is red-hot, rattling off 5 consecutive SU wins and 6 straight ATS covers. On the flipside, Wyoming is riding a 3-game SU skid (1-5 SU L6) and haven't covered a game since August (0-6 ATS L6). The Cowboys have no offense whatsoever, ranking 122nd in the air, 102nd on the ground, and 129th in scoring, averaging a dismal, 15.4 PPG. The Aggies own the #2 scoring team in the land, posting 51.7 PPG. The Favorite in this series is 6-0 ATS the L6 meetings. Wyoming is 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. conference foes, 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-4 ATS the L5 games at home. Utah State is 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. conference opponents, 8-1 ATS the L9 vs. teams with a losing record, and 5-1 ATS the L6 on the road. Take the Aggies. Thank you.

Take Army.

This is my MISMATCH play.

Game 330.

9:00 am pst.

Over the last few days, I have read about the Miami Ohio defense against the run. But what great rushing team have they actually faced? Moreover, facing the triple-option is a whole  different monster. Army and their #2 ranked ground attack keeps defenses on the field and by the 2nd half, gasping out of their mouths. I don't normally judge teams by their past performances, but the Black Knights were good enough to keep the Sooners matchup tight, so I feel they will steamroll a Redhawks team that is 0-7 ATS the last 7 vs. non-conference foes and 1-5 ATS the last 6 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Army. Thank you.

Take Mississippi.

This is my Underdog Outright Winner.

Game 400.

9:00 am pst.

Getting 3.5 with Mississippi here is a sharp play. Auburn just might be the most disappointing college football team this season. Mistakes, TO's, and penalties have ravaged the Tigers, who have now lost their L2 SU and failed to cover 3 straight. Auburn is known to have a solid defense but the 'Ole Miss offense ranks 4th in passing, 5th on total yards, and 16th in scoring, averaging 41.6 PPG. The Tigers "O" just can't keep pace with the Rebels "O" here. Auburn is 1-4 ATS the L5 Conference games, 0-6 ATS the L6 vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-5 ATS the L6 overall. Take Mississippi. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 715.

7:35 pm pst.

Golden State didn't look 100% in their season opening win over Oklahoma City on Tuesday. However, the Warriors are motivated tonight. For starters, the Jazz are touted to be one of the Western Conference teams that can compete for the WC crown. Next, Utah won 3 of the 4 meetings last season, including the final 3, and both in Salt Lake City. In one of those meetings (the final matchup), the Jazz won by 40 points, which is the worst defeat since Steve Kerr took over the team. Utah did win their opener but allowed Sacramento to score 117 points. the Favorite is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the CSU/BSU matchup.

This is my FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS WINNER.

Games 207/208.

6:00 pm pst.

Over the last month, the Boise State offense has slowed a bit. However, their defense is tough, allowing just, 21.8 PPG. CSU has very little offensive prowess and won't be able to score here. The UNDER is 5-1 in the Rams L6 overall and 16-6 in the Broncos L22 at home. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

Game 958.

5:35 pm pst.

This is the matchup Craig Counsell wanted. The Brewers manager wants Wade Miley on the mound in this contest to force a Game 7. LH, Miley dominated LA in Game 2, scattering just 2 hits in 5 2/3 IP. Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched well in the NL Division series but the LH allowed 2 runs in only 4 1/3 IP in game 2 of this series. The Brewers are 8-0 the L8 following an off day, 8-3 the L11 vs. the NL West, 12-5 the L17 vs. LH starters, 7-3 the L10 playoff home games, and 8-2 in Miley's L10 overall starts. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the Stanford/ASU matchup.

This is my TD play.

Games 305/306.

6:00 pm pst.

Bryce Love is going to return to the Stanford backfield here, but still isn't 100%. While he was healthy, the RB wasn't exactly breaking records. QB, KJ Costello is too inconsistent (12/6). The ASU offense hasn't posted more than 21 points on any decent opponent this season. The UNDER is 5-1 the L6 meetings in this series. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take San Antonio.

This is my LVSM.

Game 716.

5:35 pm pst.

While the Spurs have dropped in class, they still have a great coach and an experienced squad. So I have no problem laying a short number with a team that is 10-4 ATS the L14 meetings in this series, 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. NBA NW, and 10-2 ATS the L12 at home. Take the Spurs. Thank you.

Take Boston.

The only thing tougher than having to face the Boston Red Sox, is a true New Yorker siding with them. (LOL). With all respect to the Houston Astros, this Game 4 matchup, favors the Boys from Beantown. Both scheduled starting pitchers have similar regular season numbers. However, due to run support, Porcello has a lot more wins. Both also haven't really shined in the post-season. Rick Porcello is 1-3 with a 4.60 ERA in the playoffs, while Charlie Morton owns a post-season record of 2-2, with a 4.03 mark. The Astros, despite being down, 2-1 in this series, are tied on the overall season over the Red Sox, 5-5. Both offenses and pitching staffs are among the best in baseball. The edge offensively goes to a Boston lineup that ranks first in just about every category, while the pitching edge goes to Houston, who ironically, ranks first too, in just about every category. The trends and streaks offer no edge at all, as both teams sport incredible numbers. So, this game comes down to two things...the fact that Porcello is a bit stronger as a starter than Morton. And, the fact that the Red Sox are hungrier. Take Boston. Thank you.  

Take Houston.

This is my ESPN WINNER.

Game 714.

5:05 pm pst.

Houston finished the 2017/2018 regular season with the NBA's best record and then forced Golden State to 7 games in the Western Conference Finals. The Warriors won last night so expect the Rockets to come out here and make a statement in front of a friendly, Toyota Center crowd. The Home Team is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

Sports fans, I am still not sold on either the Dodgers or Kershaw, for that matter, when it comes to post-season play. Until they prove me wrong, I am going home with "the one that brung me," as the saying goes. Milwaukee has won 14 of the last 16 games, including Games 1 and 3 of this series. Statistically, Los Angeles is a monster team. They rank 5th in scoring, averaging 4.93 RPG and 2nd in Team ERA, at 3.38. Clayton Kershaw is a 3-time Cy Young award winner that owns a career, 149-69, 2.37, regular season record. However, when it come to the playoffs, the 30-year old, is just 8-8 and sees his ERA soar up to 4.26. Wade Miley is on his fourth Major League team. Overall, the 31-year old has had a mediocre career, donning a lifetime, 66-74 mark (prior to this season). But since joining the Brewers, he is 5-2, with an ERA of 2.57, in 16 starts. Milwaukee is 5-3 the last 8 games played at Los Angeles, 14-4 the last 18 games played on the road, and 8-1 in Miley's last 9 overall starts. Take Milwaukee. Thank you. 

Take Green Bay.

San Francisco is riding a 3-game SU skid, en route to a 1-4 overall record (both SU and ATS), and enter this contest limping. RB, Breida and WR, Garcon left Sunday's game, while the team is already missing several DB's (check status on all injured players). It took 4 missed FG's and a missed PAT by Crosby for Green Bay to lose last week. Future Hall Of Famer, Aaron Rodgers passed for a season-best, 442 YP in that game, and I expect him to have another huge day here, as he will devour a banged-up, 49ers secondary. The Packers are 11-4-2 ATS the last 17 meetings in this series. Take Green Bay. Thank you.  

Take Houston.

Boston is experiencing pitching problems. And now, David Price takes the mound here. The LH is now 0-9 with a 6.03 ERA in 10 career, post-season starts. Houston gives Gerrit Cole the nod. The RH is 1-0 with a 1.29 mark this post-season and owns a 1-0, 3.46 record in 2 starts vs. Boston this regular season. The Astros are 4-1 the L5 at the Red Sox, 9-4 the L13 overall vs. the Red sox, 5-0 the L5 playoff games, 12-3 the L15 vs. LH starters, 40-13 the L53 on the road, 4-0 in Cole's L4 starts on 7 or more days rest, and 40-18 the L58 overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take OVER in the Steelers/Bengals matchup.

Both teams enter this matchup having played 8 OVERS and 2 Unders this season. Both meetings last season went OVER the Total. Cincinnati possesses the #4 scoring offense (30.4 PPG), while Pittsburgh's offense ranks 5th (28.6 PPG). Both, Andy Dalton and Ben Roethlisberger will light up the scoreboard against 2 of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. The OVER is 6-1 in the Steelers L7 overall games and 5-1 in the Bengals L6 overall games. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take Chicago.

Surprisingly, not Green Bay or Minnesota, but Chicago, is atop the NFC North, at 3-1. The Bears have won 3 in a row SU, and own a 3-1 ATS mark on the campaign. After a solid start, Miami has now dropped their L2, both SU and ATS. The Dolphins "D" is weak, both against the pass and the run. Chicago QB, Trubisky is heating up, while he, Howard, and Cohen have combined to own the #9 rushing unit in the NFL. Defensively, the bears rank #2 in Points Allowed (16.2 PPG), #1 vs. the rush, and 9th vs. the pass. Khalil Mack is a monster. Chicago is 4-1 ATS the L5 on grass, 4-1 ATS the L5 in October, and 5-1 the L6 overall. Take the Bears. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

Colorado can take total control of the PAC 12 South with a win here. The Buffaloes are a perfect, 4-0 ATS against FBS opponents, en route to a 5-0 SU mark. The Trojans are 0-4 ATS the last 4 at home, 1-4-1 ATS the last 6 vs. Conference foes, and 5-15-1 ATS the last 21 overall. I like Colorado SU here, so getting a TD is a gift. Take Colorado. Thank you.  

Take Virginia Tech.

Virginia Tech has taken 4 of the L5 meetings over North Carolina (going 5-0 ATS), including the L2, by a combined, 93-10 score. The Tar Heels have just 1 win and 1 cover on the season and come in here with real QB woes. The Hokies own a well-balanced offense and defensively will shut down the Tar Heels rushing game with their stop-unit that ranks 8th vs. the rush. Take Virginia Tech. Thank you.

Take UCF.

This is a very short number to lay for a Central Florida team that wants to both, remain in the Top-10, and keep their 18-game win streak alive. Last year's meetings saw the Knights win and cover both, outscoring the Tigers, 102-68. UCF's defense is going to frustrate UM's QB, White. Take Central Florida. Thank you.

Take UAB.

The odds makers wanted to make this line more attractive, but I feel it should be closer to -24. UAB likes to beat up lesser teams, and believe me, Rice is certainly a lesser team. They proved that again last week, as they put up a mere, 3 points against UTSA. The Blazers have covered 3 in a row and 4 of 5 this season. The Owls rank 110th offensively and 120th defensively. This game is going to get ugly. Take UAB. Thank you.  

Take Florida.

Vanderbilt is clearly outmatched here, as the Commodores have experienced double digit losses in 8 of their last 9 SEC defeats. Florida's quick and stingy defense (14.8 PPG Allowed) is going to shut down an already stunted, Vandy offense. The road team is 8-2 ATS the last 10 meetings in this series. The Gators are 5-1 ATS the last 6 games at the Commodores and 4-0 ATS the last 4 games overall. take Florida. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

Since their 1988 World Series win over the Oakland A's, the Los Angeles Dodgers have made it to 11 post-seasons', reaching the World Series just 1 more time, last year, losing to the Houston Astros. As a matter of fact, LA has just about the most post-season experience out there, with a streak of 5 straight years making it past September. Clayton Kershaw gets the nod in Game 1. As good as Kershaw is over the years, his record in the playoffs pales in comparison to his regular season record. The 3-time Cy Young award winner has a career, regular season record of 149-69, with an ERA of 2.37. His lifetime post-season mark is just 8-7, with an ERA of 4.08, in 25 appearances (20 starts). It's going to be tough for LH as he faces a Milwaukee team that is red-hot, winning 11 in a row. During their current win streak, they have outscored opponents, 72-27.  Even if he pitches a solid game, eventually, the team must go to the bull pen. Gio Gonzalez takes the mound at home. The LH is 3-0 with a 2.13 ERA since joining the Brewers and owns a career, 4-1, 1.89 record in 6 outings vs. the Dodgers. Their surging lineup will give him enough run support to best Kershaw and the erratic Dodgers offense. Milwaukee is 4-0 the L4 vs. LH starters, 6-0 the L6 following an off day, 5-0 in Gonzalez's L5 starts, and 23-6 the L29 overall. Take the Brewers. Thank you.

Take USF.

South Florida is a perfect, 5-0 SU on the season and ranks 23rd in the polls. They need to win and win with authority to maintain their Top-25 ranking. Tulsa had just 1 good showing this season, a 7-point loss to Texas. But the Golden Hurricanes have lost 4 in a row SU and are 0-4 ATS the L4 games at home. The very well-balanced offense of QB, Blake Barnett (1308 YP, 65.1% CR, 9/4) and RB, Jordan Cronkite (606 YR, 5 TD's) are going to light up the Tulsa "D". Particularly Cronkite, as he faces the 114th ranked run defense here. The Bulls are 8-2 ATS the L10 vs. teams with a losing record. Take South Florida. Thank you.

Take Texas Tech.

This is my TD play.

Game 105.

4:30 pm pst.

Whether starting QB, Bowman (check status) or dual-threat backup, Duffey is at the helm, I must side with a Texas tech squad that ranks #1 in total offense, especially getting a TD here. TCU has underachieved, looking a far cry from traditional Horned Frogs teams. They are crushing bettors going 2-11-1 ATS the L14 as a home fav, 0-4 ATS the L4 conference games, 1-5 ATS the L6 vs. teams with a winning record, and 2-6 ATS the L8 overall. Take the Red Raiders. Thank you.

Take App State.

This is my NO LIMIT.

game 101.

5:00 pm pst.

I have no problem laying 10 points with an App. State team that has covered 8 in a row. Especially against ATS poison, Ark State, who has covered just once since last November. The Mountaineers rank #2 in scoring, averaging 51.8 PPG behind a Top-10 rushing attack. Not a good matchup for a Red Wolves "D" that ranks 124th vs. the run. App State is 4-0 ATS the L4 on the road and 4-0 ATS the L4 Conference games. Ark State is 0-5 ATS the L5 games at home and 0-5 ATS the L5 games vs. teams with a winning record. Take the Mountaineers. Thank you.  

Take Los Angeles.

This is my BEST BET.

1:30 pm pst.

Los Angeles has taken 7 of the l10 meetings in Atlanta and owns a 27-11overall record vs. Atlanta in the L38 meetings. Rich Hall won all 5 of his turns in September. The LH made 5 starts in LY's playoffs for the Dodgers, allowing 5 ER's in 17 2/3 IP. RH, Mike Foltynewicz lost his post-season debut in Game 1 of this series, surrendering 4 runs and 3 hits, including 2 HR's, in just 2.0 IP. The Braves are 0-5 the L5 vs. LH starters, 1-7 in Foltnewicz's L8 starts vs. the NL West, and 1-4 the L5 overall. The Dodgers are 4-0 the L4 vs. RH starters, 11-1 in Hill's L12 starts vs. the NL East, and 7-1 the L8 Division playoff games. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

This is my BEST BET.

1:37 pm pst.

Milwaukee has taken 7 of the 9 meetings with Colorado this season, including Games 1 and 2 of this series. They have dominated the Rockies at Coors Field, winning 6 of the L7. LH, Wade Miley (5-2, 2.57) goes up against RH, German Marquez (14-11,m 3.77). Milwaukee is red-hot, riding a 10-game win streak. Colorado is 0-4 the L4 playoff home games. Take the Brewers. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my NFC WEST GOM.

Game 473.

1:25 pm pst.

There is no team in the NFL, right now playing as good of football as the Los Angeles Rams. They are off to a 4-0 start (3-0-1 ATS). Their offense ranks 1st in Total Yards, 2nd in Passing Yards, 7th in Rushing Yards, and 2nd in Scoring. The "O" averages a whopping, 35.0 PPG. Jared Goff and Todd Gurley are devouring defenses. The QB has 1406 YP, a 72.4% CR, 11/2. The RB has 338 YR and 4 scores. Gurley is going to shred the 27th ranked Seattle rush defense while Goff and his talented corps of receivers will exploit a Seahawks secondary that will be missing Safety, Earl Thomas, who broke his leg LW. Defensively, LA is very tough. But let's be honest, Russell Wilson has no air attack whatsoever, ranking 29th. The ground game is almost as bad. Gone are the days of Marshawn Lynch. If you recall, the rams routed the Seahawks, 42-7, back in December. There is no reason why this matchup won't be any different of an outcome. Seattle is 2-5 ATS the L7 at home and 2-6-1 ATS the L9 vs. the NFC West. Los Angeles is 6-2 ATS the L8 on the road and 4-1 ATS the L5vs. the NFC West. Take the Rams. This is a chance for them to further distance themselves from the rest of the Division. Thank you.  

Take Baltimore.

This is my LVSM.

Game 451.

10:00 am pst.

I give Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns a lot of credit. The rookie QB has brought excitement and pride back to Cleveland. But, they are still a "work in progress." Remember, this team is 1-31 the L2 seasons. Mayfield hasn't faced a real defense yet (Pitt, NO, NYJ, Oak). Baltimore, at 3-1 both SU and ATS, has allowed 14 points or less in their 3 victories. The Ravens "D" ranks 2nd in Total yards, 4th vs. the Pass, 4th vs. the Run, and 3rd in Points Allowed. Their front-7 will slow down the Browns ground game while the secondary will get even better here as they welcome back CB, Jimmy Smith. Joe Flacco is off to the best start of his career (1252 YP, 64.3% CR, 8/2). The QB and his talented receiving corps will exploit the 23rd ranked pass defense of Cleveland. The Ravens are 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings in this series and 13-4 ATS the L17 vs. the AFC North. The Browns are 5-15-1 ATS the L21 vs. teams with a winning record and 6-17 ATS the L23 at home. Take Baltimore. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my BEST BET.

5;5 pm pst.

RH, Masahiro Tanaka is 1-0 in 4 starts vs. Boston this season and owns a career, 8-4 record against the Red Sox. LH, David Price possesses a 5.03 ERA in 17 overall post-season appearances and has had issues with several of the Yankees batters. New York is 31-15 the L46 vs. LH starters and 17-6 the L23 vs. the AL East. Boston 1-6 the L7 Division playoffs games and 1-6 the L7 overall playoffs games. Take the Yankees. Thank you

Take Wisconsin.

This is my BIG TEN GAME.

Game 410.

4:30 pm pst.

This game was -20 at on Tuesday morning. The line went down to -17. And it makes no sense to me as this game has the makings of a massacre. Nebraska hasn't won a game since October of last year, riding a 1-7 ATS run. Wisconsin possesses a stifling defense and one of the best rushing units in college football. The combination is going to prove to be fatal for Nebraska. The Cornhuskers are 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the Badgers, 1-5 ATS the L6 conference games, and 5-15-1 ATS the L21 overall games. The Badgers are 7-3 ATS the L10 games played in October, 5-1 ATS the L6 conference games, and 13-3 ATS the L16 games played following a bye week. Take Wisconsin. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

This is my HR.

Game 356.

1:00 pm pst.

You've got to love a line of -2.5 with Colorado here, as the Buffaloes are off to their first 4-0 start in 20 years. This is a very well-balanced team on both sides of the ball. Don't put too much stock in an Arizona State offense that posted 52 points on a defenseless, Oregon State squad last week. M&M (Montez & McMillian) will shred the Sun Devils "D". The Home Team is 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Take Colorado. Thank you.

Take Texas.

This is my Shocker Play.

Game 398.

 9:00 am pst.

It's all about the line! And I like getting more than a TD with Texas here. The Longhorns are 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings with the Sooners. As a matter of fact, the L4 matchups in this series were all separated by 7 points or less. Oklahoma can score points on just about any team in the nation, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired...especially against the pass (97th). A matured, Sam Ehlinger (64.7% CR, 1185 YP, 9/2) has played mistake-free the L4 outings, all wins. This game is being played in Dallas, Texas. The Sooners are 2-8 ATS the L10 neutral site games. Take the Longhorns. Thank you.

Take Northwestern.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 373.

9:00 am pst.

Northwestern will bounce back here with a vengeance, after a heartbreaking, 20-17 loss and cover to Michigan last week, as a 15.5-point 'dog. This is way too many points to give a Wildcats team that is 7-3 ATS the L10 games played following a loss and 7-0 ATS the L7 games played at Spartan Stadium. MSU can not stop the pass (115th). In comes NW QB, Thorson (60.8% CR, 927 YP). Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

This is my BEST BET.

1:15 pm pst.

Milwaukee has taken 6 of the 8 meetings over Cleveland this season, including Game 1 of this series. Tyler Anderson is 7-9 with a 4.55 ERA this season. The LH owns a career, 1-2, 8.59 mark vs. the Brewers. RH, Jhoulys Chacon (15-8, 3.50) has a lifetime, 2-1, 3.32 record vs. the Rockies. Colorado is 2-9 the L11 playoff games, 2-5 the L7 vs. the NL Central, and 0-5 in Anderson's L5 road starts. Milwaukee is 4-0 the L4 Division playoff games, 6-1 the L7 vs. LH starters, and 21-6 the L27 overall. Take the Brewers. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my HOME RUN PLAY.

11:05 am pst.

Cleveland has dominated Houston, taking 27 of the L40 meetings. Corey Kluber is 20-7 with a 2.89 ERA this season. The RH owns a career, 6-3, 2.83 record vs. the Astros in 10 appearances (9 starts). Justin Verlander (16-9, 2.52) is just 4-7 at home in 2018, yielding 19 homers in Minute Maid Park. Take the Indians. Thank you.

Take Cleveland.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 269.

1:05 pm pst.

Oakland is 0-3, after losing 3 HT leads. The Raiders have 31 new players and need time to mesh. The defense is sorely missing, traded DE, Kahlil Mack. The Cleveland offense, led by (probable, check status), rookie QB, Baker Mayfield, along with RB, Carlos Hyde, and WR, Jarvis Landry, will move the chains and put points on the board. The Browns (not played since Thursday), bring in a rested, and fresh, "D", racking up 11 sacks and forcing 11 TO's. Cleveland is 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the AFC and 7-2 ATS the L9 meetings in this series. Oakland is 3-8-1 ATS the L12 vs. the AFC and 4-11-2 ATS the L17 overall. Take the Browns. Thank you.

Take New England.

This is my AFC EAST GOM.

Game 252.

10:00 am pst.

Yes, Miami is 3-0 (both SU & ATS), but scheduling was a factor. However, going into Foxborough, where the Dolphins have lost 9 straight (7-2 ATS), and facing a Patriots team that hasn't lost 3 in a row since 2002, will put an end to their streak. Miami lacks the pass rush to prevent Tom Brady from exploiting their 29th ranked secondary. The Home Team is 11-1 ATS the L12 meetings in this series. New England is 20-7 ATS the L27 vs. the AFC. Miami is 1-5 ATS the L6 on the road. Take New England. Thank you.

Take Washington State.

This is my PAC 12 GOM.

 Game 150.

3:00 pm pst.

Washington State comes off a painful, 39-36 loss at USC to return home, where they are 5-0 ATS the L5 as a PAC 12 fav. The Cougars have won and covered the L3 meetings over the Utes. Utah doesn't have the offense to contend in this matchup. The team tends to fold like a cheap suit when stepping up in class. WSU is 7-0 ATS the L7 at home, 7-3 ATS the L10 vs. conference foes, and 4-0 ATS the L4 overall. Take Washington State. Thank you.

Take Georgia.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 166.

12:30 pm pst.

I don't normally like to lay this type of wood, but Georgia likes to run it up against SEC opponents. Tennessee has both QB and defensive issues. Last season's meeting saw the Bulldogs crush the Vols, 41-10. There's no reason why this season's matchup won't be any different of a massacre. The Volunteers are 2-5 ATS the L7 on the road, 0-4 the L4 in the conference, and 1-6 the L7 overall. Take the Bulldogs. Thank you.

Take Syracuse.

This is my SHOCKER play.

Game 129.

9:00 am pst

Clemson, although deserves their status, tends to be a team that oddsmakers give a little too much credit to when making the line. They are a fan favorite and that reflects in the overestimation once again here. Orange QB, Eric Dungey (62.4 % CR, 763 YP, 9/1) and his talented receiving corps can and will exploit the "shaky" Tigers secondary that showed cracks against both the Aggies and Yellow Jackets. Syracuse is 7-3 ATS the L10 vs. teams with a winning record and 6-1 ATS the L7 on the road. Clemson is 2-5-1 ATS the L8 vs. teams with a winning record and 1-4 ATS the L5 overall. Take the Orange. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

This is my HR.

Game 108.

6:00 pm pst.

UCLA is 0-3 SU (1-2 ATS). The Bruins have QB issues, but it doesn't matter who is at the helm, as the offense can't either pass or run the ball. They have faced some tougher opposition, but will once again meet a superior foe here. Colorado , at 3-0, thrashed both CSU and Nebraska, and enter this game with more talent at both sides of the ball. The "Big 3", QB, Montez (73.4% CR, 855 YP, 8/2), RB, McMillian (290 YR, 3 TD's), and WR, Shenault jr. (455 YR, 3 TD's) will devour the UCLA doormat of a defense, that's yielding 37.7 PPG. The Buffaloes are 4-1 ATS the L5 meeting vs. the Bruins. The Bruins are 3-8 ATS the L11 conference games. Take Colorado. Thank you.

Take Memphis.

This is my FNL winner.

Game 105.

5:00 pm pst.

Memphis owns a top-10 offense in Total Yards (593), Rushing Yards (309.5), and scoring (49.5 PPG). This doesn't bode well for a Tulane defense that can't stop the pass (120th), the run (99th), and yields 30.0 PPG (91st). The 1-2 punch of QB, White (1064 YP, 12/1) and RB, Henderson (709 YR, 8 TD's), will light up the scoreboard here. The Tigers are 13-3-1 ATS the L17 meetings with the Green Wave and 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings at the Green Wave. Take Memphis. Thank you.

Take LAR.

This is my TNW.

Game 102.

5:20 pm pst.

After the worst pointspread fav loss going down since 1995, to Buffalo LW, normally, I would anticipate Minnesota to bounce back. But, the Vikings offense is banged-up and the combination of QB, Cousins, 6.9 YPP, and no real rushing attack (31st) to speak of, we must side with an LA Rams team that is 3-0, both SU and ATS, and outscoring opponents by 22.0 PPG. Minny is 0-4 ATS the L4 vs. teams with a winning record, while LA is 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. teams with a losing record. Take the Rams. Thank you.

Philly fans had high-hopes this season, but at 78-79, the team fell short of expectations. Meanwhile, Colorado is just a 1/2 GB Los Angeles in the West. This team has become quite dangerous. There once was a time when they had  trouble on the road but the last few seasons, they have remedied that, resulting in the team's, 87-70 record. They have always been a winner at home. The Phillies put up only 3.85 RPG on the road, as the Rockies, one of baseball's highest scoring home teams, account for over 5.36 RPG at Coors Field. As of print, Philadelphia has dropped 6 straight and 8 of their L10. Colorado has won 5 in a row, including Games 1 and 2 of this series. RH, Nick Pivetta is 7-13 with a 4.50 record on the season. RH, German Marquez dons a 3.91 mark in 2018. The Phillies are 0-4 in Pivetta's L4 starts, 7-22 the L29 on the road, and 0-9 the L9 vs. teams with a winning record. The Rockies are 6-2 in Marquez's L8 starts, 6-0 the L6 vs. the NL East, and 19-7 L26 vs. RH starters. Take the Rockies. Thank you.

Take the OVER.

Games 489/490.

5:15 pm pst.

All 4 games these teams have played this season have gone OVER the Total. Tampa Bay's offense ranks #1 in Total Yards #1 in Passing Yards, and 2nd in Points Scored, averaging 37.5 PPG. Pittsburgh's "O" is 2nd in Total Yards, 2nd In Passing Yards, and 7th in scoring, putting up 29.0 PPG. The Bucs can not stop the pass, ranking dead last. Be Roethlisbergr is going to light up their secondary, which is the main reason why the TB defense has yielded 30.5 PPG. The once feared Steelers "D" has gotten smoked, yielding 31.5 PPG (31st). The OVER is 4-0 in Pittsburgh's L4 overall games and 4-1 in Tampa Bay's L5 in September. Take the OVER. Thank you.

Take New England.

This is my NFL GOM.

Game 487.

5:20 pm pst.

The big story this week is that Matt Patricia faces his former team. The Detroit Lions 1st-year Head Coach spent 13 seasons with the New England coaching staff. But it won't be a warm reunion. The Patriots come off an embarrassing, 31-20 defeat at Jacksonville last week. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady don't take losing lightly, going 25-7 ATS following a SU loss since 2008. Take New England. Thank you.

Take UNDER in the Cowboys/Seahawks matchup.

This is my NFL TOTAL OF THE WEEK.

Games 485-486.

1:25 pm pst.

The Dallas offense is in trouble, as they have mustered a mere, 14.0 PPG (29th). the passing game is non-existent, ranking a dismal, 30th. Let's face it, they haven't really went up against any tough defenses either (Carolina, NYG).  The one good thing they do possess,  is a solid defense. Seattle's offense is just as bad. Russell Wilson has struggled. The squad has no true ball-carrier as they did in recent years. The Dallas "D" will contain what "limited" passing game Wilson will try. The UNDER is 4-1 the L5 meetings in this series, 10-1 in the Cowboys L11 overall games, and 10-3 in the Seahawks L13 vs. the NFC. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take Wisconsin.

This is my LATE INFO MOVE

Game 407.

5:30 pm pst.

Wisconsin is going to come in here pissed off, after losing to BYU last week, 24-21, as a 23.5-point favorite. That loss ended a 41-game overall win streak and 12-straight at home. The Badgers have the rushing game and the defense to grind down the Hawkeyes in this meeting. Wiscy is 11-1 ATS the L12 games played on the road, 4-1 ATS the L5 games played vs. Conference foes, and 8-3 ATS the L11 games played following an ATS loss. I would hate to face the Badgers here. Take Wisconsin. Thank you.

Take Virginia.

This is my ACC GOM.

Game 348.

9:30 am pst.

Louisville is 0-3 ATS and give QB, Malik Cunningham his first start of the season. The redshirt freshman came off the bench the L2 games and played well but there is a big difference in pressure coming in college football between, coming off the bench and starting . This is the ACC opener for both schools. But, Virginia has had this game marked for vengeance, as they dropped the L3 meetings in this series. This year's Cavaliers team is much improved from recent years. Dual-threat QB, Bryce Perkins dons a 64.1% CR, with 670 YP, and a 7/1 TD/INT ratio in the air, along with another 239 YR and 2 TD's on the ground. RB, Jordan Ellis is a stud, rushing for 380 Yards and 5 TD's. The Cardinals are 0-6 ATS the L6 games played in the month of September, 2-9 ATS the L11 games played vs. teams with a winning record, and 7-18-1 ATS the L26 games played overall. Take Virginia. Thank you.

Take Navy,

This is my ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE PLAY.

Game 473.

9:00 am pst

It confuses me that the Middies aren't a DD fav here. Navy has taken 8 in a row in this series, SU, going 7-1 ATS, and come in here, sporting the qualities to extend their domination of the 'Stangs. The Midshipmen will eat up a ton of clock with their #2 ranked ground attack and put points on the board. SMU QB, Ben Hicks just doesn't have the skills himself or the supporting cast to keep pace. The Mustangs are 1-4 ATS the L5 at home, 1-6 ATS the L7 conference matchups, and 1-6 ATS the L7 overall. Take Navy. Thank you.

Take Washington State.

This is my FNL Play.

Game 309.

7:30 pm pst.

I feel this game is going to be a lot tougher than people expect. So, as the line rises to 4.5, I must side with a WSU team that has covered all 3 of their contests this season. The Cougars took down the Trojans LY, 30-27, with Sam Darnold at the helm. The 2018 USC team have played stiff competition, however, penalties, mental errors, and poor coaching has proved that this squad is a step down in class from LY;s team. SoCal haven't covered a game since the first week of November 2017. They are 1-6 ATS the L7 at home, 0-6 ATS the L6 in September, 2-7 ATS the L9 vs. teams with a winning record, and 3-14-1 ATS the L18 overall. Take Washington State. Thank you.

Take Chicago.

This is my BEST BET play.

Game 959.

6:40 pm pst.

With the Brewers just 3.5 GB and the Cardinals 6.5 GB in the Central, the first-place Cubs need every win they can get right now. Don't get me wrong, so do the Diamondbacks, who trail the Dodgers by 5.0 games and the Rockies by 15 games in the West. However, Chicago is playing much stronger baseball, having won 5 of their L6, including a Games 1 & 2 of this series over Arizona. The D-Backs are just, 4-14 their L18 overall. Cole Hamels has been solid for the Cubs. Since joining the team, the LH is 4-0 in 9 starts, en route to a season mark of 9-9, with a 3.68 ERA. Robbie Ray gets the nod at home. The LH is 5-2, but, the 26-year old dons a 4.14 ERA on the campaign. The Cubs are 6-1 the L7 meetings in Arizona and 6-2 the L8 vs. the NL West. The Diamondbacks are 1-5 the L6 at home and 1-6 the L7 vs. the NL Central. Take Chicago. Thank you.

Take Tampa Bay.

This is my BEST BET PLAY.

Game. 923.

5:05 pm pst.

Tampa Bay is red-hot, winning 21 of their L26 contests, including a 3-0 victory over Texas in Game 1of this series, yesterday. The Rangers are a dismal, 4-14 their L18 outings and have no chance of even climbing out of the AL West cellar. Blake Snell will be the first 20-game winner in the Majors after this game. The LH is 19-5 with a 2.03 ERA and dominated Texas in his only start against them earlier this season. RH, Yovani Gallardo is 8-5 with a whopping, 6.67 ERA on the campaign. Take Tampa Bay. Thank you.

Take Seattle.

This is my MNF Winner.

Game 285.

5:15 pm pst.

Chicago won just 5 games LY and blew a 20-point lead LW in their opener. A stinging defeat that will linger. Now, the general public has bet this game up to a -4.5. They face a Seattle team that has Russell Wilson at the helm and Pete Carroll on the sideline. The Seahawks are 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series and 8-3-1 ATS the L12 on MNF. The Bears are 3-9 ATS the L12 in September and 2-5-2 ATS the L8 vs. the NFC. Take Seattle. Thank you.

Take San Francisco.

This is my LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE.

Game 282.

1:05 pm pst

Jimmy Garoppolo lost his first ever game as a pro starter last week. But the QB has nothing to be ashamed of as he faced one of the NFL's elite, and certainly one of the stoutest defenses in the 24-16 defeat in Minnesota. He now returns to Levi's Stadium in front of a friendly, home crowd to face a Detroit team that comes off a short week, having gotten crushed on MNF. The Lions have no pass rush whatsoever, allowing rookie QB, Sam Darnold of the Jets to put up 198 YP and 2 TD's in the air. On the flipside, the 49ers are going to blitz, blitz, and blitz, wreaking havoc on an already-battered, Matthew Stafford. Detroit has dropped 12 in a row SU at San Francisco and have a dismal, 1-11-1 ATS record vs. NFC West opponents. Under a TD is a gift here. Take the 49ers. Thank you.  

Take Philadelphia.

This is my SKY'S THE LIMIT PLAY.

Game 275.

10:00 am pst.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will not have the same success against the tough, Philly defense as he had LW, throwing for 439 YP and 3 TD's in the teams, 48.40 victory over New Orleans. Tampa Bay scored on 6 of their first 7 possessions. I looked this up, I couldn't find this ever happening before in the teams history. The Eagles have one of the fastest, hungriest, and most-ferocious stop-units in the NFL. Overall, they come in here with a lot to prove after winning the Super Bowl LY and having a lackluster, 18-12 win over the highly-touted Falcons in their opener. Philadelphia is 5-2 ATS the L7 on the road, 10-3 ATS the L13 vs. the NFC, and 4-0 ATS the L4 overall. Take the Eagles. Thank you.   

Take Missouri.

This is my TEN DIMES PLAY.

Game 191.

4:30 pm pst.

Already off to an 0-2 start (both SU and ATS), Purdue's comes in here with a defense that ranks 107th, yielding over 291 YPG in the air. In comes a high-flying, Missouri team (who BTW, is 2-0 both SU and ATS), with  gunslinger, Drew Lock. The QB leads an offense accounting for 45.5 PPG, ranking 3rd nationally, in the pass, with 396 YPG up top. Defensively, the Tigers will be the first real test for a Boilermakers offense. Purdue just can't go score-for-score with Missouri here. The Tigers get the bettors paid, going 7-1 ATS the L8 vs. teams with a losing record, 4-1 ATS the L5 on the road, 4-1 ATS the L5 non-Conference games, and 9-2 ATS the L11 overall. Take Missouri here. Thank you.

Take Minnesota.

This is my LATE INFO MOVE.

Game 152.

12:30 pm pst.

Miami-Ohio comes in here 0-2 (both SU and ATS), donning some of the poorest, offensive statistics in the nation. Now, they must face a 2-0 (both SU and ATS), Minnesota team that can both, run and pass the ball, offensively, while their defense has allowed a mere, 12.0 PPG. They have one of the stingiest units in the country against the run, ranking 8th, and yielding just, 62.5 YPG on the ground. The Redhawks are 0-6 ATS the L6 non-Conference games while the Golden Gophers are 4-0 ATS the L4 non-Conference games. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Take Duke.

This is my UNDERDOG OUTRIGHT WINNER.

Game 165.

12:30 pm pst.

With word of Daniel Jones sidelined here, the line went from -2 up to -6.5. But HC, David Cutcliffe has junior QB, Quentin Harris primed and ready to go. Not only that, but the Duke defense is strong, having held Army to 14 points and Northwestern to just 7 points. Baylor, who hasn't covered a game yet, steps up in class here, after facing Abilene Christian and Texas-San Antonio. The Blue Devils are 5-0 ATS the L5 overall, 6-1 ATS the L7 in September, and 20-5-1 ATS the L26 non-conference games. The Bears are 0-4 ATS the L4 at home, 3-7-1 ATS the L11 in September, and 0-4-1 ATS the L5 non-conference games. Take Duke. Thank you.

Take Hawaii.

This is my HIGH ROLLER.

Game 117.

9:00 am pst.

Don't mind taking Hawaii flying cross-country here, as the Rainbow Warriors are off to their first 3-0 start in over a decade. They already toppled the Rams in the high-altitude of Colorado State Stadium, and faced a similar, option-offense in their home beating of Navy. Army had issues in their loss vs. a high-flying, Duke team two weeks ago. The Black Knights are 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the MWC and 3-8 ATS the L11 following an ATS win. Take the Rainbow Warriors. Thank you.

Take Baltimore.

This is my THURSDAY NIGHT WINNER.

Game 101.

5:20 pm pst.

Baltimore has revenge on their mind for 9 months. The Ravens had this game marked on their calendar since a December 31st, last-minute, come from behind, Bengals victory, ousted them from an AFC Wild Card spot. The Baltimore defense allowed just 153 total yards and 3 points, while recording 6 sacks in their opener vs. Buffalo. This along with a healthy, Joe Flacco, and his newly stocked arsenal of receivers, will be the difference here. Cincy had a big, 34-23 win over Indianapolis in Week 1. However, their "D" let Andrew Luck throw for 305 YP, while the Colts ST's unit tallied 86 return yards. The Ravens are 12-3 ATS the L15 vs. the AFC North, 3-0-1 ATS the L4 on the road, 5-1 ATS the L6 in Week 2, and 5-2 ATS the L7 in the month of September. Take Baltimore. Thank you.

Take Boston on the RUN LINE.

This is my AL EAST GAME OF THE WEEK.

Game 922.

4:10 pm pst.

Boston is 13-4 vs. Toronto this season. The #1 lineup in scoring (5.41 RPG) and Team BA (.269) averages over 5.79 RPG at Fenway Park, while Toronto accounts for a mere, 4.40 RPG as a guest. Aaron Sanchez gets the start here. The RH is 4-5 with a whopping, 5.17 ERA this season, including an 0-1 mark in 3 starts vs. the Red Sox. David Price takes the hill at home. The LH is 14-6 with a 3.57 ERA in 2018, which does include a perfect, 3-0 record in 3 turns vs. the Blue Jays. Toronto is 1-8 the L9 in Boston, 9-25 the L33 overall vs. Boston, 6-26 the L32 vs. LH starters, and 2-9 the L11 on the road. Take the Red Sox on the RUN LINE. Thank you.

Take Houston on the RUN LINE.

This is my EARLY WINNER.

Game 915.

10:10 am pst.

Houston has taken 4 of the 5 meetings this season over Detroit. The Astros are in a fight with the A's for the lead in the West, while the Tigers are done for the season. Houston puts up over 5.46 RPG on the road, while Detroit averages just, 4.10 RPG at home. RH, Gerrit Cole is 13-5 with a 2.86 ERA this season. LH, Daniel Norris is making just his 5th start and sports a deplorable, 0-3, 5.47 record. The Astros are 8-1 the L9 vs. LH starters, 47-18 the L65 on the road, and 21-8 in Cole's L29 starts. The Tigers are 16-38 the L54 vs. RH starters, 14-40 the L54 at home, and 2-7 in Norris' L9 starts. Take Houston on the RUN LINE. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my MNF Winner.

Game 481.

7:20 pm pst.

Living in Las Vegas, I read about the Raiders every day. I wish the team well, but I feel there's a lot more hype to them than anything. Oakland has a new boss that hasn't coached in a decade, in Jon Gruden. The team just dealt away their most0talented defender to Chicago, in Khalil Mack. And, they enter this campaign with the oldest roster in the NFL. Los Angeles is one of the most-complete teams in the League. They have a frustrating "D" (48 sacks LY). You can bet that Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh will get to QB, Derek Car, who is looking out-of-sync in the scheme. Offensively, the Rams are stacked higher than pancakes at your favorite diner. Todd Gurley is a bruising RB and Jared Goff will exploit a Raiders secondary that had only 5 INT's last season. Los Angeles is 4-0 ATS the L4 meetings in this series while Oakland is 3-9-2 ATS the L14 overall games. Take the Rams. Thank you.  

Take Baltimore.

This is my AFC GOM.

Game 460.

10:00 am pst.

Nathan Peterman was named the starter for Buffalo this week. Making just his 3rd career start, this QB just doesn't have that it takes to move the chains on a very tough, Baltimore stop-unit, even without CB, Jimmy Smith (suspended 4 games). The Ravens come in here motivated, having missed the Playoffs for the 3rd straight season. HC, John Harbaugh is tired of playing bridesmaid to the Steelers in the AFC North. QB, Joe Flacco has a slew of talented, new receivers in Michael Crabtree, John Brown, and Willie Snead. The Home Team is 6-1 ATS the L7 meetings in this series. The Bills are 1-4 ATS the L5 at the Ravens. The Ravens are 7-3 ATSZ the L10 in Week 1. Baltimore gets the win and the cover here. Take the Ravens. Thank you.

Take Stanford.

Game 388.

5:30 pm pst.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Stanford comes in here motivated, having dropped the L2 vs. USC. Southern Cal had their hands full with UNLV last week. Despite the win, it made it 5 straight outings the Trojans have failed to cover. The USC defense has more holes than the Titanic. They face a Stanford team needing vengeance from the L2 meetings and come in here with a confidant QB, and a RB looking to make a statement after rushing for a career-low, 29 yards last week. The Trojans are 1-4 ATS the L5 meetings, 0-4 ATS the L4 in September, and 3-12-1 ATS the L16 overall. The Cardinal are 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. teams with a winning record, 4-1 ATS the L5 at home, and 4-0 ATS the L4 overall. Take Stanford. thank you.

Take Fresno State.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 375.

4:30 pm pst.

The line here is floating around a +2.5. I would prefer a +3, so either shop it, or for the extra .20 cents, buy it. That's just to be smart, but trust me, you aren't going to need it. Minnesota threw up 48 points last week on a New Mexico State squad that was without almost half of their defensive starters. They now face a Fresno State "D" that (outside of powerhouses, Alabama and Washington), allowed 21 or less points vs. every regular season foe, a season ago. The Bulldogs are 11-0 ATS the L11 vs. teams with a winning record, 6-0 ATS the L6 in September, 9-1-1 ATS the L11 on the road, 6-1 ATS the L7 non-conference, and 20-6-1 ATS the L27 overall. Take Fresno State. Thank you.

Take Air Force.

This is my LATE INFO MOVE.

Game 317.

11:00 am pst.

Don't think for a minute that stepping down from a 63-14 thumping at the hands of Oklahoma gives FAU any "street cred" against Air Force. Say what you want about HC, Lane Kiffin, but his Owls are 0-4 SU the L4 in regular season play vs. non-Conf USA BCS teams. Not only can the Falcons run, and run, and run.... but Air Force can cover too, as they are 7-2 ATS the L9 as a visiting 'dog, 9-3 ATS the L12 in September, and 16-5 ATS the L21 non-conference games. Take the Falcons. Thank you.

Take Central Michigan.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 336.

12:00 pm pst.

Saying that Kansas' OT loss to Nicholls State last week, wasn't as bad as it seems, is just early season propaganda coming out of Lawrence. The Jayhawks are a deplorable, 3-37 SU the L40 overall and haven't won a road game since early 2009. The 1-2 punch of QB, Poljan and RB, Ward, will light up the scoreboard. But it will be the Chippewas defense that will shine here. With another 4 takeaways last week, the stop-unit has over 35 the last year and change. Kansas is 7-18-1 ATS the L26 non-conference games, while Central Michigan is 6-1 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Chippewas. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my BEST BET PLAY.

Game 973.

7:05 pm pst.

Both New York and Oakland are in 2nd place in their Divisions. The Yankees send their ace pitcher, Luis Severino to the mound. The RH is 17-6 with a 3.32 ERA this season and owns a 1-0, 3.50 mark vs. the A's in 3 career starts. Oaktown gives Mike Fiers the nod. The RH is 1-1 with a 5.54 record in 5 lifetime turns vs. NY. The Yankees are 20-8 the L28 vs. the AL West, 5-1 the L6 on the road, and 6-0 in Severino's L6 starts vs. the AL West. Take New York. Thank you.

Take UNDER in the Miami/LSU matchup.

This is my TOTAL OF THE WEEK.

Games 217/218.

4:30 pm pst.

Miami is touted to be a powerhouse team and win 9.5 games. LSU has a new QB and reports are that they will be more of a passing squad than in recent years. The Tigers have a monster "D" that allowed just 316 yards and 18.9 PPG last season. They will get pressure on the 'Canes star QB, Malik Rosier. The UNDER is 6-0 in Miami's L6 neutral site games, 5-1 the L6 vs. the SEC, 9-2 the K11 overall, 4-0 in LSU's L4 neutral site games, 7-2 the L9 in September, and 20-8 the L28 overall. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

This is my HR winner.

Game 911.

1:10 pm pst.

LH, Kyle Freeland is 3-0 with a 1.67 with a 1.67 ERA and 37 K's in 32 1/3 IP over his L5 starts en route to a 12-7, 2.90 season mark. RH, Jacob Nix is 2-3 with a 4.05 record on the campaign and took a loss in his only start vs. Colorado TY. The Rockies are 16-7 the L23 vs. the NL West, 9-4 the L13 vs. RH starters, and 5-0 in Freeland's L5 starts vs. the NL West. The Padres are 9-3 the L32 at home, 16-35 the L51 vs. LH starters, and 16-35 the L51 vs. the NL West. Take Colorado. Thank you.

Take Vanderbilt.

This is my NO LIMIT.

Game 184.

4:30 pm pst.

This contest is a perfect example of the disparity between the strength of certain Conferences. Vanderbilt is considered the bottom of the SEC barrel, while Middle Tennessee State is Conference USA royalty. Over the last few seasons, the Commodores have covered 6 straight over C-USA foes. They have won and covered the L3 vs. the Blue Raiders, by a combined, 92-43. Vandy seems to enjoy brutalizing non-SEC teams, covering 8 of the L10 opportunities. MT State has crushed bettors, going 5-9-1 ATS the L15 as a 'dog, 2-6 ATS the L8 vs. SEC opponents, and 1-5 ATS the L6 on the road. Lay the -3 with the Commodores. Thank you.

Take Louisiana Tech.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 177.

4:00 pm pst.

The Bulldogs, who won and covered LY's meeting over the Jaguars, 34-16, bring back most of their 2017/2018 squad. This is a team that finished last season winning and covering their L3, including a 51-10 Bowl crusher over the Mustangs. They are 6-0 ATS the L6 vs. the Sun Belt. South Alabama is 8-17 ATS the L25 at home, 2-6 ATS the L8 in September, and 14-31 ATS the L44 overall. Lay the -10 with Louisiana Tech. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

This is my FNL play.

Game 148.

6:30 pm pst.

Dual-threat junior QB, Steven Montez and several returning offensive starters will shred a Colorado State defense that was 97th in total "D" last season and allowed Hawaii to put up 617 total yards in LW's, 43-34 loss. The Rams are 0-8 ATS the L8 overall. This line is floating around -7.5. You won't need it, but just to air on the side of caution, buy it down. Take the Buffaloes. Thank you.

Take Northwestern.

This is my LATE INFO MOVE.

Game 135.

5:00 pm pst.

Northwestern owns a veteran OL and a great ball-carrier. Word is that starting QB, Thorson will play but if he doesn't, 4th year backup, Green can handle the load. The offense will wreak havoc on the young, inexperienced defense of Purdue, bringing back just 4 starters. The Wildcats have won the L4 meetings SU, going 3-1 ATS, by a combined, 127-58. The Road team is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Northwestern is 4-1 ATS the L5 at Purdue, 4-0 ATS the K4 on the road, 19-7 ATS the L26 Conference games, 4-1 ATS the L4 in August, and 7-1 ATS the L8 overall. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.

Take New York on the RUN LINE.

This is my BEST BET PLAY.

Game 964.

4:05 pm pst.

JA Happ is a prefect, 5-0 since joining the Yankees. The LH owns an overall record of 15-6 with a 3.80 ERA this season. Francisco Liriano has not notched a victory since April 28th, going 0-4 with a 6.28 mark in 4 August starts, en route to a 3-9, 4.82 overall record on the campaign. Detroit accounts for just 3.43 RPG on the road while New York averages over 5.51 RPG at home. The Tigers are 0-5 the L5 vs. LH starters, 16-46 the L62 on the road, and 17-43 the L60 overall. The Yankees are 35-17 the L52 vs. LH starters, 65-25 the L90 at home, and 23-7 the L30 vs. the AL Central. Take New York on the RUN LINE. Thank you.

Take Boston on the RUN LINE.

This is my RUN LUNE GOW.

Game 924.

3:35 pm pst.

Boston has dropped 6 of their L9 outings and have New York creeping up on them, just 6.5 GB. Playing Miami is just what the doctor ordered. The Red Sox have made a meal out of most opponents the last few years, particularly the Marlins, who they have beaten in all 3 meetings in 2018, 10 of the L12 overall, while winning 6 consecutive matchups at Fenway Park. Things just can't get worse for Miami as they are a dismal, 7-19 the L26 contests to bring the NL East cellar dwellers to 53-80, 22 GB. Boston owns the #1 offense in baseball is RPG (5.37) and Team BA (.269). They account for over 5.72 RPG at home, nearly 2 runs more than does Miami on the road (4.06). David Price gets the home start here. The LH is 14-6 with a 3.50 ERA TY, fanning 149 batters in 149.1 IP. Taking the mound on the road is Trevor Williams. The RH dons a 3-7, 4.23 mark this season. The Red Sox are 43-13 the L56 IL games, 48-17 the L54 at home, and 42-15 the L56 vs. the NL East. The Marlins are 2-9 the L11 vs. LH starters, 25-55 the L80 on the road, and 5-16 the L21 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Boston on the RUN LINE. Thank you.  

Take Chicago.

This is my HR play.

Game 956.

5;05 pm pst.

Chicago has dominated New York, winning all 5 meetings this season, and 8 straight going back to last season. Jacob deGrom has an ERA of 1.71 but is just 8-8 on the campaign as the RH can not get any run support from a Mets offence that ranks 23rd in scoring (4.16 RPG) and 30th in Team BA (.235). Since joining the Cubs, LH, Cole Hamels is 4-0 with a 0.79 mark in 5 starts. New York is 9-24 the L33 at Chicago, 4-10 in deGrom's L14 starts vs. teams with a winning record, and 7-15 the L22 vs. LH starters. Chicago is 6-0 the L6 overall, 41-19 the L60 at home, and 5-0 the L5 vs. RH starters. Take the Cubs. Thank you.

Take Colorado.

This is my BEST BET PLAY.

Game 913.

7:05 pm pst.

Just 1 game separates Colorado from Arizona in the NL West. Playing a Los Angeles team that is on a 6-game skid is just what the Rockies need right now. The team has won the L9 games Jon Gray has started as the RH is 4-0 in that span. RH, Odrisamer Despaigne is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA since joining the Angels, lasting only 4.0 IP in each of those turns. Los Angeles is 0-5 the L5 games played at home and 0-5 the L5 vs. RH starters. Colorado is 4-0 the L4 games played on the road and 5-1 the L6 IL games. Take the Rockies. Thank you.

Take St. Louis.

This is my BEST BET play.

Game 959.

12:10 pm pst.

St. Louis has taken 4 of 6 this season and 7 of the L9 overall meetings vs. Colorado going back to last season. LH, Austin Gomber is 3-0 with a 2.98 ERA on the season, while LH, Tyler Anderson is 6-6 with a 4.45 mark, including an 0-2, 7.56 record in his L3 starts. The Cardinals are 38-17 the L55 vs. the Rockies, 9-1 the L10 on the road, 15-3 the L18 following a loss, 10-2 the L12 vs. teams with a winning record, and 5-0 in Gomber's L5 overall starts. Take St. Louis. Thank you.

Take Wyoming on the MONEY LINE.

This is my SEASON KICKOFF WINNER.

Game 291.

7:00 pm pst.

With 6 regular season wins last year, New Mexico State is fresh off their 1st Bowl appearance (and win) in almost 60 years. However, things are going to revert back quickly for the Aggies who lost both, the teams all-time #2 leading passer and the teams all time #2 leading rusher. Wyoming beat CMU, 37-14 in their post-season appearance to give the team an 8-win season. They did lose QB, Josh Allen. But even with him, the offense ranked 125th. Well, they bring back 9 starters on the unit, which is touted to actually be better due to experience. The Cowboys "D" ranked 9th nationally a season ago, allowing a mere, 17.5 PPG. New Mexico State is 0-3 ATS their L3 games played at home while Wyoming is 4-1 ATS their L5 games played away from home. The line here is about -3.5. If it was a -3, I really wouldn't have any problems laying it. It is that extra hook that I am not crazy about. So, Take the Cowboys on the MONEY LINE. Thank you.  

Take Oakland.

This is my BEST BET play.

Game 921.

4:10 pm pst.

Oakland sends Mike Friers to the hill. The RH has given up 3 runs on 11 hits and 1 BB overall with 21 K's in 18 1/3 IP since joining the A's. Over his career, the 33-year old owns a 5-1, 3.06 mark vs. the Twins. Minnesota gives Stephen Gonsalves just his second career start. The LH got pounded for 4 runs on 6 hits and 2 BB's, retiring just 4 batters in his Major League debut, losing to Chicago on Monday. Oakland is 28-13 the L41 vs. Minnesota, 40-12 the L52 vs. teams with a losing record, 39-14 the L53 vs. the AL Central, and 43-16 the L59 overall. Tale the A's. Thank you.

Take Baltimore.

This is my LATE BAILOUT.

Game 275.

4:00 pm pst.

Baltimore is 3-0 SU in the pre-season, while Miami's 0-2 mark, makes the team 0-5 (both SU and ATS), their L5 outings going back to last season. The Dolphins have no defense and a very poor ground gamed. The Ravens are stacked at all key positions, have a lot to prove, and are led by a HC that wants to win in pre-season play. Baltimore is 8-0 ATS the L8 vs. Miami. Take the Ravens. Thank you.

Take San Francisco.

This is my TD play.

Game 271.

1:30 pm pst.

San Francisco's trio of QBs, Beathard, Mullens, and Garoppolo have teamed up for 661 YP. Indy QB, Andrew Luck is slated to take a few more snaps here but his backups, Brissett, Walker, and Kaaya are just horrible. With no ground game to speak of, the Colts just can't score. The 49ers have a HC that believes in strong pre-season play. The Road Team is 5-1 ATS the L6 meetings in this series. Take San Francisco. Thank you.

Take Pittsburgh.

This is my CASH MONEY PLAY.

Game 268.

1:00 pm pst.

Pittsburgh's offense has accounted for 65 points this pre-season, while Tennessee is 0-2, both SU and ATS, and has tallied a combined, 31 points thus far. Last year, the Steelers went 3-1 SU and ATS in exhibition play while the Titans went 1-3 SU and ATS. The Home Team is 4-1 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.

Take Green Bay.

This is my FNL play.

Game 263.

7:30 pm pst.

Reports are that Aaron Rodgers (check game time status) won't see action tonight. Whether he does or not, it won't matter here. Kizer, Hundley, and Boyle have combined for 635 YP and 5 TD's this preseason. NFL talk is that Kizer and Hundley are in a fight for the #2 spot. Derek Carr is slated to take a few more snaps but this Oakland offense has struggled to put points on the board and seems to be favoring the ground game. Take Green Bay. Thank you.

Take the UNDER in the Cardinals/Rockies matchup.

This is my TOTAL OF THE WEEK.

Games 959/960.

5:40 pm pst.

These two teams have averaged 8.0 RPG in their four meetings this season. Today, two very good pitchers square off. RH, MIles Mikolas has permitted 2 runs or less in 9 of his L11 starts, en route to a 13-3, 2.80 season record. RH, Antonio Senzatela is 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA in 6 home appearances this campaign. The UNDER is 6-2 the L8 meetings in Colorado. Take the UNDER. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my LATE INFO MOVE.

Game 904.

10:10 am pst.

New York has dominated San Francisco, winning 7 of the L9 meetings, including 2 of 3 this season. The Giants are just 1-7 the L8 contests, accounting for 3 or less runs in 7 of those 8 outings. Madison Bumgarner (4-5, 3.05 TY) got roughed-up in his last turn while the team is just 4-12 in his L16 road starts and 10-21 in his L31 overall starts. Jacob deGrom is 8-7 with an ERA of 1.71 on the season and owns a 4-1 career record vs. the Giants. San Francisco is 1-6 the L7 on the road while New York is 7-3 in deGrom's L10 starts vs. the NL West. Take the Mets. Thank you.

Take Boston on the RUN LINE.

This is my BEST BET PLAY.

Game 912.

10:05 am pst.

Yes, Cleveland has been playing well, but looking at the L6 weeks, the Indians last played a team with a winning record in the July 13-15 series vs. the Yankees. Today, they give Adam Plutko the start. The RH is 4-3 with a 4.62 mark on the season, with his last Win coming June 24th. Boston sends David Price to the mound. the LH is 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his L6 starts, en route to a 13-6, 3.69 mark on the campaign and owns a 10-2, 2.24 career record vs. Cleveland. The Red Sox average 5.67 RPG at home while the Indians account for 4.59 RPG on the road. Cleveland is 1-4 the L5 vs. LH starters while Boston is 40-13 the L53 overall. Take the Red Sox on the RUN LINE. Thank you.  

Take Arizona on the RUN LINE.

This is my BEST BET PLAY.

Game 980.

6:40 pm pst.

Arizona has taken 2 of 3 over Los Angeles this season, including Game 1 of this series yesterday. The Angels have dropped 4 of their L5 while the Diamondbacks have won 5 of their L6. Odrisamer Despaigne is making just his 2nd start since March 31st. The RH has an ERA of 6.29 in 24.1 IP this season. Clay Bucholz gets the nod at home. The RH is 6-2 with a 2.47 mark on the campaign, winning 5 of his L6 outings. LA is 1-4 the L5 on the road, 1-5 the L6 vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-5 the L6 vs. RH starters. Arizona is 5-2 the L7 at home, 4-1 the L5 vs. teams with a losing record, and 4-0 the L4 vs. RH starters. Take the Diamondbacks on the RUN LINE. Thank you.

Take Tampa Bay on the RUN LINE.

This is my RUN LINE GAME OF THE WEEK.

Game 918.

4:10 pm pst.

How can a team, in just three seasons, go from being a World Series Champion to being one of the worst teams in baseball? Well, the Kansas City Royals did just that. 2015, they won it all. 2018, as of late-August, they dwell in the cellar of the AL Central, 34.5 GB, at 38-87. Tampa Bays only crime is sharing the Division with Boston and New York. The Rays are basically locked into the #3 slot in the AL East, but are still giving chase. They have taken all four meetings vs. the Royals this season and send their best pitcher to the mound here. LH, Blake Snell leads the pitching staff in both Wins and ERA, and has quietly amassed a 14-5, 2.10 record. Taking the hill on the road is Glenn Sparkman. The RH is making just his second career start, as he is 0-1 with a 4.95 mark on the campaign. Kansas City is 18-41 the L59 on the road, 6-22 the L28 vs. the AL East, and 11-45 the L56 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Tampa Bay on the RUN LINE. Thank you.

Take Baltimore.

This is my NFLX GAME OF THE WEEK.

Game 431.

5:00 pm pst.

Baltimore is 10-0 SU and 9-1 ATS the L10 pre-season contests. The Ravens HC, John Harbaugh puts a lot of stock in exhibition games. Joe Flacco is his starting QB and will see action here. But backups, Griffin III, Jackson, and Woodrum are all able play-callers. Indianapolis, although will be a better team this season with a Healthy, Andrew Luck, the team overall does not have the personnel to compete here. Luck's backups fall way short on talent. Take the Ravens. Thank you.

Take New York.

This is my BEST BET PLAY.

Game 954.

4:10 pm pst.

New York has won their L2 while San Francisco is on a 4-game skid. This is the first meeting this season between these 2 NL rivals, however, the Mets have taken 7 of the L9 matchups in this series. LH, Derek Holland is 6-8 with a 3.83 ERA this season and lost his only career start vs. NY back in 2011. Zack Wheeler is on a 9-start unbeaten streak and has won each of his L6, en route to an 8-6, 3.75 mark. The RH is 2-1 in 4 career starts vs. SF. The Giants are 1-4 the L5 vs. RH starters and 0-4 the L4 on the road. The Mets are 4-1 the L5 vs. LH starters and 7-0 in Wheeler's L7 overall starts. Take New York. Thank you.
