Play Oklahoma State (Game 179 12:30 pm pst).

This is my BIG 12 GOM.

Oklahoma State just took down TCU and has Baylor and Oklahoma up next, but this is not a "sandwich" spot for the Cowboys, as they won't be taking the game lightly. Mason Rudolph and the Okie State passing game will devour the 109th ranked pass-defense of Iowa State, while the very aggressive, Cowboys "D" (33 sacks & 23 takeaways) will shut down the very mediocre, Cyclones offense. Take Oklahoma State. Thank you.

Take Ohio State (Game 137 9:00 am pst)

This is my LVSM.

Ohio State returns JT Barrett this week. Barrett, Miller, and RB, Ezekiel Elliott (1244 YR and 14 TD's) head up an offense that averages over 37.3 PPG. Illinois has dropped 3 of their L4 SU and despite the return of RB, Josh Ferguson, the running game just doesn't stand a chance against the stout, front-7 of OSU. Overall, the Buckeyes allow just 15 PPG. The Ilini' can not contend here. Ohio State is 5-2 ATS the L7 vs. Illinois and 38-16-1 ATS their L55 on the road. Take the Buckeyes. Thank you.

Play Virginia Tech (Game 111 4:30 pm pst).

This is my ACC Game of the Month.

With Frank Beamer retiring, look for the Hokies to extend their Bowl streak to 23 years and give it their all here. With, QB, Brewer now back from injury, the offense is getting better and facing a Yellow Jackets team that has lost and failed to cover 6 of their L7 and ranking 11th in the ACC on "D", is just what beamer's boys need. The 'Dog is 8-1 ATS the L9 in this series and the Road Team is 5-0 ATS the L5. Take Virginia Tech. Thank you.

Play Denver (Game 469).

This is my BB.

Peyton Manning is back in Indianapolis and seeks revenge for being ousted from LY's post-season. He now has TE, Vernon Davis to move the chains. The Broncos defense is #1 in PA (16 PPG), TY's (261.1 YPG), and PY's (171.9 YPG). This doesn't bode well for the Colts "O". Let's face it, Indy is lucky they aren't 0-8. Take Denver. Thank you.

Play Atlanta (Game 465).

This is my Shocker.

Atlanta went from 5-0 to 6-2 over recent weeks and haven't covered in a month. But playing San Francisco is just what they need. As the 49ers are just 2-6 on the season, and are averaging a mere, 12.8 PPG at home. Falcons HC, Dan Quinn knows this 49ers team from his days as Seahawks DC. On both sides of the ball, San Fran is missing key players. They own the worst offense in the NFL and their "D" is thin at best. Not to mention they are 2-7 ATS Their L9 at home, 0-6-1 ATS their L7 vs. winners, and 3-10-1 ATS their L14 overall. Take Atlanta. Thank you.

Play New Orleans (Game 460).

This is my Best Bet.

Tennessee has lost 6 straight, only putting up more than 14 points once during their current skid. New Orleans has gotten their "Mojo" back, winning 4 of their L5 both SU and ATS. The shaky Titans OL will face a Saints "D" that has tallied 12 sacks over their L3 outings. Drew Brees looks like his old self with the 3rd ranked passing unit and will use Mark Ingram's legs to open up his air attack. Tennessee can not keep pace offensively here as they are 1-4 ATS their L5 November games, 1-6 ATS their L7 on the road, and 18-37-4 ATS their L59 overall. Take New Orleans. Thank you.

Take LSU (Game 395).

Leonard Fournette is a stud. The #1 ranked RB in the country will get his yards here. But I feel this game comes down to the QB's and Brandon Harris is just more consistent and a better pressure player than Jake Coker. The Road team is 14-5-1 ATS the L20 meetings in this series. The Tigers are 4-1 ATS their L5 Conference games while the Tide are 0-5 ATS their L5 at home. Take LSU. Thank you.

Play Iowa (Game 337).

This is my LVSM.

The 8-0 Iowa Hawkeyes are a perfect, 3-0 ATS on the road TY. Indiana is riding a 4-game SU and 3-game ATS skid. CJ Beathard will have no problem moving the chains on the 112th ranked IU pass defense. However, the Hoosiers will not be able to go score-for-score here against the 6th ranked Hawkeyes "D", that allows a mere, 15.2 PPG. Iowa is 12-3 ATS their L15 road games while Indiana is 1-5 ATS their L6 following a bye. Take the Hawkeyes. Thank you.  

Take Marshall (Game 407).

This is my CONF USA GOY.

Making MT State a favorite here is a mistake. The team has folded against every quality opponent they have faced this season. Not to mention, they have failed to cover the entire month of October. League-contender, Marshall has ran off 7 straight victories and have covered 5 of their L6. the Blue Raiders can not run the ball at all and must face the Herds 16th ranked pass "D". While offensively, Marshall is chock-full of playmakers. The Thundering Herd are 8-2 ATS their L10 road games while the Blue Raiders are 1-6 ATS their L7 Conference games. Take Marshall. Thank you.

Take Duke (Game 327).

This is my Underdog GOM.

These 2 teams come in here with very similar rankings on both sides of the ball except for their defenses against the run. Duke allows just, 128.9 YPG on the ground while North Carolina yields over, 205.1 YPG to the rush. This is a major factor in this matchup. With Duke coming off that debacle LW with Miami, the Blue Devils enter this game, angry. North Carolina QB, Marquise Williams has good numbers but Duke's, Thomas Sirk is even more of a dual-threat, with a 60.0 % CR, 1788 YP, 12 TD's and just 3 INT's in the in the air, and another 485 yards and 3 TD's on the ground. I know the Tar Heels have taken 22 of the L25 SU, but the 'Dog has covered 4 of the L5 and the Blue Devils are 6-0 ATS their L6 on the road, 14-6 ATS their L20 Conference, and 21-8-1 ATS their L30 overall. Take Duke. Thank you.

Play Temple (Game 319).

This is my FNL Game of the Month.

Temple comes into this matchup, pissed-off, after suffering their first loss of the season, a heartbreaking, 24-20 defeat to Notre Dame. The Owls face a defenseless Mustangs squad that gets burned for 43.6 PPG and 112 points in two games against ranked opponents. Despite missing a few players, Temple still has QB, PJ Walker on the field and that is all they need here. SMU is 3-8 ATS their L11 at home and 1-4 ATS their L5 overall. Temple is 4-1 ATS their L5 road and 4-1 ATS their L5 overall. Take the Owls. Thank you.

Play Mississippi State (Game 315).

This is my LVSM.

Missouri's defense has kept them in games but losing Maty Mauk has left the offense anemic, scoring a total of 12 points during their current 3-game skid. Going up against Dak Prescott and the mighty Mississippi State offense that has put up 42 or more over their L3, is going to be fatal for Mizzou. The Tigers are 1-4 ATS their L5 at home and 2-6 ATS their L8 overall. The Bulldogs are 12-4 ATS their L16 Conference games and 5-2 ATS their L7 overall. Take Mississippi State. Thank you.

Take Baylor (Game Game 307).

This is my Best Bet.

Kansas State has dropped 4 straight as the Wildcats has had issues with spread offenses. Baylor lost QB, Seth Russell but will have no problem scoring points with Jarrett Stidham at the helm. The play-caller has an 85.7% CR, 6 TD's, and 0 INT's. Not to mention the Bears have bruising RB, Shock Linwood (974 YR and 9 TD's). It's going to be a long night for the offensively-challenged Kansas State team. Baylor is 20-7-1 ATS their L28 vs. teams with a losing record and 34-16-1 ATS their L51 overall. Take  the Bears. Thank you

Play Atlanta (Game 256).

This is my LVSM play.

Following their first loss of the season, Atlanta came  back LW, to beat Tennessee and certainly has the defense (#2 vs. the run) to stop Tampa Bay RB, Doug Martin. Matt Ryan torched the Bucs LY, winning and covering both meetings, by an average of 26.0 PPG. The Fav in this series is 20-8-1 ATS the L29 meetings. The Falcons roll here. Take Atlanta. Thank you.

Take Arizona (Game 261).

This is my TD Game of the Month.

Arizona showed just how good they are by thumping Baltimore, 26-18 LW. A 2-5 record and QB controversy, has Cleveland in disarray. The Cardinals 1-2 punch of Carson Palmer and Chris Johnson (ranked #2 in Points Scored at 32.7 PPG) are way too much for the Browns defense, that ranks 28th in Yards Allowed (393.1 YPG) and 23rd in Points Allowed (26.0 PPG). 'Zona all the way here. Take the Cardinals. Thank you.

Play Marshall (Game 125).

This is my FIVE DIMES Play.

No problem laying wood on the road with Marshall here as the Herd have 6 DD wins this season and face a Charlotte team that is 0-3 ATS as a home 'dog in 2015. Take Marshall. Thank you.

Take SD State (Game 147).

This is my MWC Game of the Month.

SD State is the only MWC team undefeated in League play and laying a short price here over a CSU team they have beaten the L4 meetings, isn't a stretch. The Aztecs are riding a 4-game win and cover streak coming in here, while the Rams  have crushed bettors, covering just 1 game since early September. The Aztecs are 19-7-1 ATS their L27 Conference games. Take SD State. thank you.

Play FIU (Game 185).

This is my LVSM.

FAU is on a 1-11 SU (4-7 ATS) run and are being outscored by 8.8 PPG in 2015. Golden Panther's QB, Alex McGough (2049 YP, 66.2% CR, 17 TD's, and just 3 INT's) leads a talented offense easily capable of shredding the Owls "D" here. FIU has covered the L4 in this series. Take the Golden Panthers. Thank you.

Play TCU (Game 112).

This is my Five Dimes Play.

3rd ranked TCU is a perfect, 7-0 TY, while WVU is just 3-3, including a 0-3 Conference mark. The Horned Frogs have the #2 offense (50.1 PPG) in the nation. They can beat you with either the run or the pass and facing a Mountaineers "D" that has been toasted for 137 points their L3 contests, is just what the Frogs need to retain their ranking. TCU also knows that WV handed Baylor their sole loss LY and won't take any chances here. The Mountaineers are 1-5 ATS their L6 Conference games and 1-8 ATS their L9 after a bye week. The Horned Frogs are 11-1 ATS their L12 home games and 20-7 ATS their L27 following a bye week. Take TCU. Thank you.

Play Atlanta (Game 463).

This is my Bookie Buster.

Atlanta comes in here both, well-rested and angry. The Falcons had an extra 3 days to heal and prep for this game, after suffering their first loss of the season. They will prove that they are deserving of their 5-1 record. Tennessee QB, Marcus Mariota is out, leaving the offense in the hands of Zach Mettenberger. The Titans are riding a 4-game skid and offensively, just don't have the firepower to match up with Matt Ryan and the high-flying, Falcons "O." Devonta Freeman leads the 4th ranked ground game to compliment the very-dangerous passing game. Tennessee's defense has been a doormat while their OL has been man-handled. They have been crushing followers, going 7-20-2 ATS their L29 home games, 15-36-1 ATS their L52 vs. teams with a winning record, and 17-36-4 ATS their L57 overall. Take Atlanta. Thank you.

Play Pittsburgh (Game 455).

This is my Dominator.

Landry Jones is expected to make his first NFL start, after showing signs of greatness LW, taking over for backup, Michael Vick. The QB had 168 YP, 2 TD'S, and most-importantly, 0 INT'S. Kansas City was already having issues, but the loss of Jamaal Charles has extended their skid to 5 straight games. The offense has become "predictable," averaging just 307.5 YPG their L2. The Steelers are rolling, having bounced back from a 3-point loss to the Ravens, 3 weeks ago, getting a last-second win over the Chargers, and then beating the Cardinals decisively, LW. They are 5-0 ATS their L5 on the road, 5-1-1 ATS their L7 vs. the AFC, and 9-1-1 ATS their L11 overall. The Chiefs are 1-6 ATS their L7 vs. teams with a winning record, 2-6 ATS their L8 in October, and 0-5 ATS their L5 overall. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.

Play Mississippi State (Game 390).

This is my 5 Dimes play.

Dak Prescott personally accounted for 304 YD's and 3 TD's in LY's, 14-point victory in Kentucky. In 2015, the QB has taken it to another level, with 1700 YP, a 65.8% CR, 11 TD's and 0 INT's in the air, and another 254 YR and 4 score's on the ground. The Heisman-candidate will boost his value here against a Wildcats, "undersized" defense that lacks any pass-rush, whatsoever. UK's, Patrick Towles has been sacked 19 times, and tossed 7 INT's (compared to 8 TD's), while his receiving corps leads the Conference in dropped passes. Must side with the red-hot, Bulldogs over a Wildcats squad that is 7-18 ATS their L25 on the road and 8-20 ATS their L28 in the Conference. Take Mississippi State. Thank you.

Play Florida State (Game 397).

This is my Best Bet play.

 Georgia Tech comes in here on an 0-5 slide (both SU & ATS) and relying solely on their ground- game, which will be fatal against the swarming, Florida State defense, that ranks 19th vs. the run, and allows a mere, 15.2 PPG. Seminoles QB, Golson and RB, Cook, will have no problem putting points on the board over a Yellow Jackets squad that’s been burned for 35.2 PPG during their skid. Georgia Tech is 0-4 ATS their L4 Conference games and 0-5 ATS their L5 games played against teams with a winning record. Take Florida State. Thank you.

Play Washington State (Game 411).

This is my LVSM.

With QB issues, Scooby Wright out with an injury, and facing a red-hot, Washington State squad, Arizona should not be giving this many points. The Wildcats are very "vulnerable," since losing their best defensive player (Wright), and might also be without their top CB, DaVonta' Neal (hamstring, check status). The 90th ranked pass defense of Arizona will have problems here against Luke Falk (2371 YP, 72.3% CR, and a 21/4 TD/INT ratio) and the nations 4th ranked passing unit. WSU'S tandem of standout receivers, Marks and Williams (1146 YR and 12 TD'S combined) will shred the young and inexperienced, 'Zona secondary. The once-feared, LB corps of the 'Cats is now averaging a mere, 1.84 sacks per game. The 'Dog is 10-3 ATS the L13 meetings in this series. The Wildcats are 3-8 ATS their L11 at home and 8-17 ATS their L25 vs. teams with a winning record. The Cougars are 4-1 ATS their L5 on the road and 4-1 ATS their L5 overall. Take Washington State. Thank you.  

Play Duke (Game 361).

This is my Underdog Game of the Month.

As you know, the Frank Beamer retirement rumors are going around. And the word is, another loss and he goes into "forced retirement." If that is the case, this time next week, he'll be playing golf. Duke QB, Thomas Sirk has 5 receivers contributing big-time, each with 13 or more receptions. But it is the Blue Devils defense that deserves the credit as it has held all 6 opponents TY to 20 points or less. I know the Hokies returned Michael Brewer at QB, however it's going to take time for him to get in a groove and in sync with his receivers. Duke is 5-0 ATS their L5 road games and 20-7-1 ATS their L29 overall games. Virginia Tech is 4-9 ATS their L13 Conference games and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played in October. Take The Blue Devils. Thank you.  

Play Central Michigan (Game 317).

This is my MAC GOM.

Very simply, Central Michigan QB, Cooper Rush (2084 YP, 68.5% CR, and 16 TD's with only 6 INT's) will exploit the 117th ranked Ball State secondary, while the Chippewas very stingy "D" (19th vs. the Pass, 25th in Total Yards Allowed) contains the Cardinals offense. The Road Team is 7-1 ATS the L8 meetings in this series and the Chips are 4-1 ATS the L5 games played at the Cards. Take Central Michigan. Thank you.

Play Temple (Game 307).

This is my LVSM play.

At 6-0, the Owls have a strong chance to reach DD wins this season. They sit atop the AAC East in part due to a well-balanced offense but it is their 8th-ranked defense (14.7 PPG allowed), that has made it virtually impossible for opponents to run the ball, yielding a mere, 91.7 YPG on the ground. To make matters worse, TU boasts a stellar secondary as well. QB, Walker (1063 YP, 60.8% CR, & 8 TD's) has RB, Thomas (756 YR, 5.2 YPC, & 10 TD's) to establish the run and open up the passing game here and exploit the vulnerable, ECU pass "D" that got shredded for 1209 YP over heir L4 contests. The Pirates are 2-9 ATS their L11 Conference games, 7-19 ATS their L26 vs. teams with a winning record, and 5-11 ATS their L16 games played overall. The Owls are 5-2 ATS their L7 Conference games, 7-3 ATS their L10 vs. teams with a winning record, and 9-4 ATS their L13 on the road. Take Temple. Thank you.    

Take New York.

Chip Kelly's, Philadelphia Eagles have been overrated and overvalued this season. And once again, this number is way too high. New York has won their L3 games with authority as Eli Manning (1474 YP, 65.6% CR, and 10 TD's with only 2 INT's) heads up the 8th ranked passing unit in the NFL. Reports are that WR, Odell Beckham will play. Philadelphia is 2-3 (both SU and ATS) as Sam Bradford just can't get his passing unit into a groove. The Eagles 23rd ranked rushing offense got going LW, but must now face the very stout, #3 rush "D" (80.6 YPG on the ground allowed) of the G-Men. The Road Team is 6-2-1 ATS the L10 meetings in this series. The Giants are 4-0 ATS their L4 road games, 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. the NFC East, and 30-14-2 ATS their L46 October games. The Eagles are 12-25-1 ATS their L38 at home, 1-4 ATS their L5 vs. the NFC East, and 6-16-1 ATS their L23 vs. teams with a winning record. Take New York. Thank you.  

Play Minnesota (Game 256).

This is my Bookie Buster.

Kansas City is in trouble, as the team has dropped 4 in a row (both SU and ATS), and lost their only ball-carrier and top-scorer, Jamaal Charles. Minnesota has won and covered both home games this season, and own the NFL's #2 rushing team, behind ever-progressing, Adrian Peterson (114 YPG the L3). The very-stingy Vikings defense (18.2 PPG allowed) will get to Chiefs QB, Alex Smith and force TO's, The Home Team is 3-0-1 ATS the L4 meetings in this series. The Chiefs are 1-5 ATS their L6 road games and 2-5 ATS their L7 October games. The Vikings are 6-1 ATS their L7 home games and 8-2 ATS their L10 overall games. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Play Arizona (Game 263).

This is my Annihilator.

Bruce Arians returns to Pittsburgh, where he picked-up 2 Super Bowl rings and knows this team inside and out. Michael Vick has shown no signs of improvement as the passing game is non-existent. The Steelers once-dangerous pass-defense has now dropped to 20th in the League and looked very bad Monday Night, against Philip Rivers and the Chargers. They must now face Carson Palmer, who is 9-2 ATS his L11 starts and has the luxury of Chris Johnson's (405 YR) legs as well. The Cardinals are 21-8 ATS their L29 games played overall. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Play Notre Dame (Game 204).

This is my 5 Dimes play.

Can you say "Revenge?" Notre Dame took a, 49-14 beating at the hands of Southern Cal, LY. But both teams are in much different places right now. The Trojans, Cody Kessler's numbers are worsening, the defense lost DT, Leonard Williams, and interim coach, Clay Helton is taking over his first game for fired HC, Steve Sarkisian. The Fighting Irish have a solid offense behind DeShone Kinzer and CJ Prosise, averaging over 500 YPG (502.7) and the 12th-ranked pass "D" in the land will stifle Kessler and the passing game. Under a TD is a gift here. Take Notre Dame. Thank you.

 Play Baylor (Game 176).

This is my LVSM.

LY's lone regular-season loss at Morgantown, cost Baylor a place in the final-4 Playoff. The Bears are 5-0, ranking #1 in the nation in Total Yards (725 YPG) and Points Scored (64.2 PPG). West Virginia is supposed to be the strongest defense that Baylor has faced TY, but in their 2 losses (L2 games), the Mountaineers have yielded, 77 points and committed 9 TO's. QB, Skylar Howard's numbers have dropped in Big 12 play, with just 2 TD's and 4 INT's, including 3 PICK's in his lone road start. With Seth Russell at the helm (1527 YP, 22 TD's and just 5 INT's in the air, and 178 YR and 4 TD's on the ground) along with the trio of talented ball-carriers, Linwood, Williams, and Jefferson (1763 YR and 12 TD's combined), the Baylor offense can not be stopped. The team will use this contest as well as next week's, vs. Iowa State to sharpen their skills and run up the score to solidify their ranking in the polls before the tougher Conference matchups come while West Virginia has TCU up on deck and has no chance to breathe. The Bears are 25-6 ATS their L31 home games, 5-2 ATS their L7 Conference games, and 25-10-1 ATS their L36 overall games. The Mountaineers are 2-9 ATS their L11 October games, 1-4 ATS their L5 Conference games, and 1-5 ATS their L6 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Baylor. Thank you.

Play Kentucky.

This is my High Roller play.

Kentucky is 4-1 overall on the season, sitting in 2nd place in the SEC East, and have covered the L3 in this series. Auburn has issues at QB, which just adds to their offensive woes, having lost their key weapon, in WR, Williams. The Tigers have lost 10 straight games ATS and own a very-weak front-7, allowing 5.7 YPC. Wildcats QB, Towles is as good as there is in play-action and will exploit this. Take Kentucky. Thank you.

Play Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh will be without QB, Ben Roethlisberger for their second straight game but Michael Vick has had some extra time to prepare here. The offense also returns suspended speedster, Martavis Bryant at WR. San Diego also has a suspended WR, in Antonio Gates. But their running game ranks among the worst in the NFL and has a depleted OL, that is bleeding badly. This doesn't bode against a very-hungry Steelers "D", that is allowing a mere, 18.8 PPG. San Diego is 3-12 ATS their L15 overall games, 1-6 ATS their L7 home games, and 1-10 ATS their L11 games vs. the AFC. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.

Play Denver (Game 471).

This is my AFC West GOM.

All I hear is how Peyton Manning's skills are fading. But the team is 4-0, they are winning, and own the top defensive squad in the NFL. Denver has won and covered both of their away games TY and comes into this meeting, taking the L7 both SU and ATS in the series. The Raiders "D" has been a doormat, which is just what Peyton Manning and the Broncos offense needs to boost their ego. They are 4-0 ATS their L4 games played in Oakland. This game is going to get out of hand. I'm taking the Bronco's here. Thank you.

Play Arizona (Game 467).

This is my Bookie Buster.

The Lions are 0-4 SU and are crushing bettors, going 1-3 against the number. They come off a short week, playing last Monday night. Let's face it, this offensive unit is horrible, scoring a mere 16.5 PPG and ranking dead-last in the NFL on the ground. Arizona was perfect before LW's loss to St. Louis but sometimes a setback is just what a team needs to expose any flaws, and with this coaching staff, believe me, they will be a better team for it. RB, Chris Johnson will continue to thrive and allow Carson Palmer to open up this very dangerous air-attack. The Cardinals are 5-1 ATS L6 meetings and 20-8 ATS their L28 overall. Under a FG or not, I'm laying the wood here. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Play Navy (Game 367).

This is my TD play.

Navy is 4-0 both SU and ATS and covered LY's meeting, despite an unusually poor effort from triple-option maestro, Keenan Reynolds. Notre Dame shot themselves in the foot LW, with TO's and a failed 2-pt conversion in their, 24-22 loss to Clemson, showing they still can't get it done in crunch-time. I know they faced an option offense in Georgia Tech earlier, but Navy runs it like no other team in the land, averaging over 339 YPG on the ground. They are also solid at stopping the run. Irish ball-carrier, CJ Prosise was shut down LW, with 50 YR on 15 carries and will have another tough go this week. The road team is 16-4 ATS the L20 meetings in this series. The Irish are just 3-8 ATS their L11 as a DD fav. The Midshipmen are 9-1 ATS L10 at South Bend. Especially with that hook of +14.4, I like the 'dog a lot here. Take Navy. Thank you.

Play Connecticut (Game 384).

This is my HR play.

Yes, UConn dropped their L3 BUT, they went up against Missouri, Navy, and BYU. The Huskies step down in class here as they face an 0-5 (SU and ATS) Knights squad that has been outscored by an average of 11.4 PPG, with possessing no offense at all (16.2 PPG). The Huskies defense (35th nationally allowing 19.8 PPG) boasts one of the finest secondary's in the nation that will shut down the Knights passing game while UConn QB, Bryant Shirreffs exploits the soft pass defense of UCF that has been burned for 12 TDP's with 0 INT's. The Knights are 0-6 ATS their L 6 overall. Take Connecticut. Thank you.

Play Georgia (Game 361).

This is my LVSM.

After a huge Conference loss to Alabama LW, Georgia regroups here as Heisman candidate, Nick Chubb (13 straight 100+ yard games) decimates a thinned-out, Tennessee defense that has shown serious late-game weakness over their L3 contests. The Vols won't be able to run the ball here, against this stout Bulldogs "D", forcing QB, Dobbs, to air it out and turn the ball over. UT is 0-4 ATS their L4 Conference games. UGA bounces back here, and gets back in the Playoff hunt as the Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS L6 following a SU loss. The Volunteers are 0-4 ATS their L4 Conference games and 4-11 ATS their L15 games vs. teams with a winning record. Take Georgia. Thank you.

Play Denver (Game 272).

This is my Dominator.

Say what you want about Peyton Manning's skills but he has his team 3-0, sporting a perfect 3-0 ATS mark as well. The Bronco's "D" ranks 4th in Points Allowed (16.3), 1st against the pass, and 6th against the run. AP and the Minnesota running game is good but they haven't faced a swarming LB corps like they will here. Teddy Bridgewater can't get the passing game going and Denver's CB, Talib will make his job nearly impossible. The Vikings have to travel into Mile High, which is one of the toughest places for a visitor to play. Minny is also 2-7-1 ATS their L10 games played in October. Take Denver. Thank you.

Play Arizona (Game 274).

This is my ANNIHILATOR.            

Arizona has covered the L4 in this series and comes into this contest 3-0 against the number, outscoring opponents by 25.6 PPG. St. Louis has lost and failed to cover their L2 and just can't get their offense on track. The Cardinals have covered 8 straight with Carson Palmer and get us paid again. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Play Alabama (Game 159).

This is my SEC GAME OF THE MONTH.

'Bama comes in here a 'dog for the first time since 2009, all because of their loss to 'Ole Miss. But they have a stout rush defense that ranks 4th in the nation (56.8 YPG), that can slow down UGA's, ball-carrier, Nick Chubb. Nick Saban will have his squad prepped and hungry here. Take the points with the Tide. Take Alabama. Thank you.

Play Houston (Game 149).

This is my LVSM.

Houston is posting, 48.3 PPG, while their defense ranks 5th against the run, allowing a mere, 66 YPG on the ground. Tulsa QB, Dane Evans tossed 3 INT's in LY's loss. The Cougars veteran secondary will get TO's once again and contain the Golden Hurricanes passing game. UH is 20-7-1 ATS their L28 games on the road. Cougars cover. Take Houston. Thank you.

Play Pittsburgh (Game 102).

The line has moved to 3. All because Big Ben is out. But the Steelers are 3-0 ATS in 2015, have Le'Veon Bell back, and are only allowing, 17.3 PPG. The Ravens are 0-3 (both SU and ATS), can't run the ball, are vulnerable to the pass, and are yielding, 28.0 PPG. A revenge factor comes into play here as Baltimore beat Pittsburgh, 30-17, back in January. The Steelers are 7-1 ATS their L8 overall, 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. the AFC, and 6-2 ATS their L8 at home. The Ravens are 2-6 ATS their L8 overall, 2-6 ATS their L8 vs. the AFC, and 0-4 ATS their L4 following a SU loss. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you.

Play Green Bay (Game 490).

This is my MNF Game of the Month.

A come from behind victory over Seattle LW, established Green Bay as an NFC powerhouse. Turnover’s, penalties, and a very pedestrian (I actually wanted to write, an out-of-sync) KC passing game will be unable to keep up score-for-score in this one. Aaron Rodgers will exploit the 23rd ranked Chiefs pass defense at Lambeau where he hasn’t tossed an INT since 2012 as the team boasts a 7-1-1 ATS mark their L9 regular season games. The line here is a solid 6.5 and under a TD, I will back the Pack. Thank you.

Play Denver (Game487).

This is my Late Bailout.

With all the non-stop talk about Peyton Manning's skills diminishing, Denver is still 2-0 and won LW's game down (14-0 2nd qtr), 24-17 with just 2:27 left in the game with :36 seconds left Manning tossed a TD and 9 seconds later they won the game with a fumble recovery for a TD> Detroit is 0-2, was lit up for 59 points and 833 yards. The departure of Suh and Levy from LY's top-5 stop-unit has been fatal. The Lions rank, 25th in scoring (22 PPG), 32st in rushing (53.5 YPG), 31st in yards allowed (416.5) 24th on YP (269.5), 28th in YR (147), and 28th in points allowed (29.5).The Broncos are #1 in Total Yards Allowed (#1 in passing yards, and #28 in Points allowed (29.5) Detroit is 2-6 ATS their L8 vs. teams with a winning record and 1-5 ATS t6heir L6overall. Denver is 20-8 ATS their L28games vs. teams with a losing record and 5-1  ATS  their L6. road games with people  vs. teams that have a losing record at home. Take Denver. Thank you. Joe D'Amico

Play Buffalo (Game 485).

This is my AFC EAST GAME OF THE MONTH.

The Miami offense has produced just 3 total TD"s in their first two games. Playing Jacksonville and Washington  to open the season makes heir stats very deceiving. Buffalo's #2 ranked running game is averaging over 153.5 YPG on the ground behind RB, McCoy sand Taylor himself. The receiving corps has 5 starts in Harvin, Woods, McCoy, Clay, and Watkins. The offense out up 27 on Indy and 32 on New England. Miami can't either run ball or stop the run, posting 58 YPG on the ground and yielding 142 YPG to opposing bal carriers. Buffalo plays a solid physical game. The Dolphins are 1-4 ATS their L5vs. the AFC East and 1-6 ATS their L7 overall. The Bills are 5-2 ATS their L7. the AFC and 6-2 ATS their L8overall. Take Buffalo Thank you.

Plat Arizona (Game 482.)

This is my Annihilator.

Arizona has won and covered both of their games this season, with authority. Now they play their first Divisional home contest. Carson Palmer will cut-up the very vulnerable pass-defense of San Francisco, that was exposed badly by Pittsburgh LW. The Cardinals are 7-1 ATS their L8 home games and will stay perfect here as they win and cover. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Play Missouri (Game 319).

This is my Consensus Play.

The Tigers have won 11 straight road games and expect to return RB, Hansbrough here. While Kentucky's QB, Towles has been erratic at best, he must now face a Mizzou "D" that has held opponents to a mere, 9.6 PPG and 217 TY's, while forcing 6 TO's. Missouri has won and covered the L3 meetings in this series by an average of 21.3 PPG. The Wildcats are 7-19 ATS their L26 conference games while the Tigers are 14-3 ATS their L 17 games played on the road. Take Missouri. Thank you.  

Play Mississippi State (Game 373).

This is my LVSM.

Auburn comes off a humiliating, 45-21 loss to LSU, resulting in their 8th straight no-cover and now must face a Mississippi State squad that has covered the L3 meetings in this series, including a 38-23 victory LY. Reports are that soph., Sean White will start at QB for the Tigers. It won't matter who is at the helm, as there is no way they can compete with Dak Prescott (65.3% CR, 799 YP, and 5/0 ratio) and the explosive Bulldogs offense. MSU wins outright. Take the points and sit back here. Thank you.

Play Mississippi (Game 344).

This is my HR play.

With Ole' Miss in the National Title race after beating 'Bama LW, I expect them to run up the score here as they face an outmanned, Vandy squad. The Rebels have scored at least 43 points in three straight outings. They have won and covered the L2 in this series. With a very good shot at the college playoff this year, they will run it up here. Take Mississippi. Thank you.  

Play Navy (Game 323).

This is my TD play.

UConn may have beaten Army a few weeks ago, but NO team in the nation runs the triple-option like Navy does. The Midshipmen are so happy to be in a conference for the first time in 134 years, that they decimated the Pirates LW, 45-21. QB, Keenan Reynolds is a stud who makes all the right decisions, therefore, I side easily with him over Huskies, sad-sack QB, Bryant. UConn is 4-11 ATS their L15 overall, 2-6 ATS their L8 conference games, and 2-7 ATS their L9 at home. Take Navy. Thank you.

Play Georgia Tech (game 341).

This is my FG play.

Duke's weaknesses were exposed against Northwestern LW. G Tech has won 5 in a row at Durham and overall boasts a 9-1 ATS mark their L10. The Yellow jackets are 8-3 ATS the L11 meetings in this series and 4-1 ATS the L5 at the Blue Devils. Take Georgia Tech. Thank you.

Play Pittsburgh (Game 266).

This is my Dominator.

Pittsburgh had 10 days to rest and prepare for this matchup while San Francisco had to fly across the country after a late, MNF contest. Ben Roethlisberger has DeAngelo Williams (127 YR Week 1) on the ground and standout receiver, Antonio Brown (133 YR LW)  in the air. The Steelers have moved the chains quite efficiently between the 20's and won't have any problems giving their fans another home opening victory as they are 7-3 ATS their L10, over a 49ers team that has no chance keeping up score-for-score in this one. Under a TD, I'm playing Pittsburgh here. Thank you.

Play Arizona (Game 271).

This is my Annihilator.

The supposed, beefed-up defense of Chicago allowed Green Bay to put up 31 points in LW's loss. Jay Cutler is resembling the same old QB that we all know makes a ton of mistakes. The Cardinals opened up their season with a convincing, 31-19 win over the Saints. The team has Chris Johnson to fill in for the injured, Andre Ellington and Carson Palmer is 14-2 (SU) his L16 starts and will pad his stats here with his stellar receiving corps. The Bears are 1-79-1 ATS their L27 at home while the Cardinals are 14-5 ATS their L19 vs. the NFC. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Play Rutgers (Game 191)

This is my Consensus play.

Even with better OL play, QB, Christian Hackenberg couldn't get the passing game going against Buffalo LW. Rutgers is solid against the run on defense. On offense, even without Leonlee Caroo, they have a lot of playmakers. RB's, Hicks and Martin will control the tempo and the clock, keeping an "overrated" Lions defense on the field. Not sold on this PSU squad and certainly don't feel that they should be laying DD"s. The Nittany Lions are 1-4 ATS their L5 in September, 0-1-1 ATS their L4 Conference games, and 1-4 ATS their L5 overall. The Scarlett Knights are 4-1 ATS their L5 September, 6-2 ATS their L8 road games, and 5-1 ATS their L6 following an ATS loss. Take Rutgers. Thank you.

Play Navy (Game 148).

This is my High Roller.

A rested, Navy team is going to be very motivated here, as they are playing their first Conference game in 134 years. The Middies have a great option play-caller in sr. QB, Keenan Reynolds and a 245 lb., bruising, RB, in Chris Swain, who will decimate the semi-rebuilding, Pirates "D" that comes off a big letdown, coming close but not close enough to the Gators, in a 31-24 loss LW. The last time ECU faced a triple-option, was back in their 2012, 56-28 home loss to Navy. The Pirates are 2-9 ATS their L11 overall, 1-5 ATS their L6 road games, and 1-7 ATS their L8 Conference games. The Midshipmen are 5-2 ATS their L7 overall, 4-0 ATS their L4 at home, and 9-3 ATS their L12 following a SU win. Take Navy. Thank you.  

Play LSU (Game 150).

This is my LVSM.

Auburn eked by Louisville and needed OT to beat Jacksonville State LW. QB, Jeremy Johnson has already tossed 5 INT's. They have a defense that allowed over 399 rushing yards so far and 843 total yards on the season. In comes LSU, who pounded Mississippi State for 266 yards on the ground. Leonard Fournette will pad his numbers here and boost his Heisman value, for sure. Then very fast and ferocious LB corps of LSU will create TO's here. Lest not forget, AU's bread and butter is their ground game which will be contained by the aggressive, LSU front-7. LY, Auburn stomped LSU, 41-7, so revenge is on the  mind of Les Myles. Auburn is 1-5 ATS their L6 on the road, 0-4 ATS their L4 in September, and 1-5 ATS their L6 Conference games. Take LSU. Thank you.

Play Philadelphia (Game 489).

This is my Blowout play.

While Atlanta had one of the better pass units LY, their defense yielded over 417 points, hence the team's, 6-10 record in 2014. New Falcons coach, Dan Quinn is going to need at least another year or two before he gets his defense to where he wants it. There's no doubt that the Matt Ryan/Julio Jones connection is one of the best in the League, however, their OL is "rebuilt" and not going to allow Ryan to have a lot of time in the pocket. Not to mention the Eagles "D" added a few players and is hungry. Philly will once again have one of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL and now with the addition of DeMarco Murray in the backfield, they will really light up scoreboards. The Eagles are 10-4 ATS their L14 MNF games. Take Philadelphia. Thank you.

Play Arizona (Game 478).

This is my LVSM play.

The New Orleans defense played poorly this pre-season, as the Saints went 0-4 both SU and ATS, yielding 121 points, and only accounting for 2 sacks. Their secondary is banged-up, which will allow Carson Palmer to connect with his corps of quality receivers. The Cardinals were 8-1 SU (7-2 ATS) in the QB's starts LY. Defensively, 'Zona has playmakers like CB, Peterson and S, Mathieu, to cover the Saints receivers and throw a monkey-wrench in Drew Brees' passing game. The Home Team is 5-0 ATS the L5 meetings in this series. The Saints are 1-4 ATS their L5 games played vs. the NFC and 2-6 ATS their L8 games played overall. The Cardinals are 6-1 ATS their L7 games played at home and 17-7 ATS their L24 games played overall. Take Arizona. Thank you.

Play Missouri (Game 337).

This is my TD play.

Missouri has won 10 straight road games (4-0 ATS L4 road as a fav'). The Tigers took the L3 meetings over the Red Wolves, by a combined, 137-56. Maty Mauk has the passing game running like a clock, as shown in their 34-3, Week 1 win over SE Missouri State. Arkansas State got shellacked, 55-6, by USC a week ago. Four TO's helped bury the Wolves, not to mention yielding 507 total yards to the Trojans. QB, Fredi Knighten tossed 2 INT's in that game. Despite some inexperienced defenders, the Tigers "D" held the Red Hawks to a mere, 201 total yards, including just 56 in the air LW. Only in their three, 2014 losses, did their stop-unit get beat...and that was early to Indiana, then to both Georgia and Alabama. The Red Wolves are 2-6-1 ATS their L9 games played in September and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played overall. The Tigers are 14-2 ATS their L16 games played on the road and 20-8-1 ATS their L29 games played overall. Take Missouri. Thank you.

Play Nevada (Game 372).

This is my Inside Info Move.

Arizona struggled defensively, getting man-handled, in their 42-32 win over a mediocre, UTSA last week, and without All-American LB, Scooby Wright (knee), Nevada can and will put up points in this matchup. The Wolf Pack hung in tight with the Wildcats in a 1-point loss in 2012 and a 7-point defeat in 2014. The word is that their Pistol "D" has a few new plays that were hidden in their opening win over UC Davis. This is a team that upended both Washington State and BYU a season ago. The Wildcats have crushed bettors, going 3-7 ATS their L10 games played vs. the MWC, 0-4 ATS their L4 non-Conference games, and 0-6 ATS their L6 games played in September. Take Nevada. Thank you.

Play Georgia (Game 349).

This is my SEC East GOM.

The 9th ranked Bulldogs are deep at the RB position, with Heisman candidate, Chubb, Marshall, and Michael, who will wear down the untested, Commodores defense, opening up the passing game for Greyson Lambert while the swarming UGA stop-unit will contain Vandy's only true weapon, RB, Ralph Webb, who tallied a mere, 70 YR in the team's, 14-12 loss to a shaky, Western Kentucky defense in Week 1. Georgia has not forgotten that this was the site of their stinging upset loss just 2 years ago. The Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS their L5 Conference games, 4-0 ATS their L4 games played on the road, and 5-1 ATS their L6 games played overall. Take Georgia. Thank you.

Play Ohio State (Game 209).

Last year was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Buckeyes and they won the National Championship. Ohio State went 14-1 a season ago with their only loss at the hands of Virginia Tech. OSU had problems with V Tech's defense but Urban Meyer will have his offensive unit ready to roll in their opener. The Hokies are in for it here. Ezekiel Elliott (1,878 YR) is a stud. On both sides of the ball, OSU is loaded. Virginia Tech QB, Michael Brewer had 15 INT's a season ago and the team's starting ball-carrier had only 533 yards on the ground in 2014. The Hokies are 5-13-2 ATS their L20 non-Conference games and 2-5 ATS their L7 games played at home. The Buckeyes are 4-0 ATS their L4 non-Conference games and 36-15-1 ATS their L52 games played on the road. Take Ohio State. Thank you.   

Play Northern Illinois (Game 182).

This is my Consensus play.

UNLV had to replace 6 starters from LY's defense that allowed a whopping, 38.5 PPG. They also brought in a high-school coach in his first collegiate year in Tony Sanchez. Northern Illinois tallied 616 yards of offense in LY's, 48-34 win and cover at UNLV. The Huskies have QB, Drew Hare (18 TDP, 900 YR, & 2 INT's LY) back at the helm. The squad ran off 7 straight victories before losing to Marshall in a Bowl game to end last season. NIU will come in motivated and looking to steamroll in the opener. The Rebels are 17-43-4 ATS their L64 road games and 1-5 ATS their L6 non-conference games. Lay the points here with the Huskies. Thank you.

Play Baylor (Game 151).

This is my No Limit.

The 4th-ranked Bears take last season's #1 offense (581.5 YPG & 48.2 PPG) and 18 returning starters into a matchup against a Mustangs team they beat a year ago, 45-10. SMU had one of the worst defenses (41.3 PPG allowed) in the nation LY and show very little improvement under new HC, Chad Morris. The 'Stangs offense (11.1 PPG LY) is in for a long day against the Bears very-experienced, DL. Baylor has covered every matchup over SMU in the L25 years (10-0 SU & ATS) not to forget they are 7-0 ATS their L7 games laying 30 or more points. SMU is 0-6 ATS their L6 games played in September, 0-8 ATS their L8 non-conference games, and 6-20-1 ATS their L27 games vs. the Big 12. Baylor is 5-0-1 ATS their L6 games played in September, 7-2 ATS their L9 non-conference games, and 22-9-1 ATS their L32 games played overall. Take the Bears. Thank you.  

Play Utah (Game 140).

This is my Las Vegas Strip Move play.

I don't feel that new HC, Jim Harbaugh is going to make that much of an immediate impact on a Michigan team that was 5-7 LY, averaged only 20.9 PPG, and is touted to win just 7.5 games this season. Playing at Rice-Eccles Stadium is tough enough but Utah has the most-explosive player on the field in RB, DeVontae Booker (1512 YR & 10 TD's LY) and a 4th-year QB in Kyle Wittingham. I know the Wolverines "D" is solid, however, they still had to replace several key starters. Don't forget two key things... #1, the Utes led the nation in sacks (55), and #2, they took last season's contest, 26-10. Michigan is 0-6 ATS their L6 games played in September, 0-8 ATS their L8 vs. the PAC 12, and 1-6 ATS their L7 non-conference games. Utah is 9-4 ATS their L13 overall, 5-0 ATS their L5 vs. the Big Ten, and 37-17-2 ATS their L56 non-conference games. Take the Utes. Thank you.

Play New England (Game 101).

Seattle started slowly in each of their L3 games and can not play catch-up with New England. Bill Belichik will take note on how the Dom Capers and the Packers handled the Seahawks in the NFC Title game two weeks ago. Despite having the NFL's top defense, Seattle faced three "pass-happy" offenses this season in San Diego, Dallas, and Green Bay, losing to the first two and going down to the wire in the third. The Patriots have proven that they can score on anyone. Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski will hook up and score while a trio of RB's will keep the Seahawks "D" honest. Coach Belichik is the best in the game at preparing his team and exploiting opponents weaknesses. This game will be won on the foot of Kicker, Stephen Gostkowski. Take New England. Thank you.

1) TD Passes by Tom Brady-OVER2+130.
Tom Brady averaged over 2 TD 's a game this season and as you all know, this is a passing team. Brady throws over 2 TD's here.

2)  Longest FG of game 44 1/2 yards-OVER-115
Both teams have very good kickers, particularly Gostkowski for New England. And in the Super Bowl, every point counts. Bet your bottom dollar that there will be a few long FG's here.

3) Most successful FG's by NE- 1/2 OVER-130
Gostkowski averages a little better than 2 FG's per game this year and with a tough Seattle D"D< I believe Belichik will want every point he can eke out here. Take over 1/2 FG's for NE.

4) Team with most QB sacks-Seattle+130
I believe there is a true value in this one. They have a better front-7 and Wilson is harder to sack than Brady.

5)Will there be a defensive or ST's score in this game? yes+160
Two top-10 defenses and two very good ST units. there is a lot of value on this prop.

6)Gronkowski Total receptions 5 1/2-OVER-140
Rob Gronkowski is such an important and vital part of Tom Brady's success, the Patriots actually live and die with him. Not to mention that he is Brady's "go-to" guy.

7) Will Marshawn Lynch score a TD? Yes-130
Marshawn Lynch heads up the #1 rushing unit in the nFL. he has 1306 YR and 13 TD's. Getting a low price with the workhorse here is solid.

8)Total Rushing yards by Russell Wilson 41 1/2-OVER-110
Wilson averaged over 53.0 YPG this season. The elusive QB will need to rely upon his running skills more often here as he faces a very creative Patriots coaching staff.

Take New England (Game 304).

The Colts have played some good football but the Patriots are their kryptonite, winning the L5 SU, covering the L3, outscoring Indy, 206-118 the over the L5. This includes a November, 42-20 thumping. Andrew Luck has shown signs of brilliance but still has made his share of mistakes this season, tossing 16 INT's while the offense is 3rd worst in the NFL, with 31 takeaways. We all know Indianapolis can not run the ball at all. So be sure that NE, HC, Bill Belichik will have his defense ready for Luck and the passing game. Tom Brady is the best QB in the game. He, Gronkowski, Edelman, and LaFell will light up the vulnerable pass "D" of the Colts. The Pats running game has picked up steam towards the end of the season to help Brady out. No way does the experienced, Belichik-Brady connection not out play their counterparts here. Take New England. Thank you.

Play Seattle (Game 302).

This is my Playoff Game of the Year.

Seattle opened this season with a 36-16 shallacking over Green Bay, in which they limited the Packers to just 255 total yards. Aaron Rodgers showed that he is still not playing healthy in last week's Dallas game, being hampered by a calf injury. He won't be facing a mediocre defense like that of the Cowboys in this matchup. Instead, he goes up against the #1 ranked "D" in football in Total Yards, Passing Yards, and Points Allowed (3rd vs. the rush). Green Bay can score points but on the road, their numbers fizzle, posting just 21 PPG with Rodgers going from superman to mortal man away from Lambeau, with 13 TD's and 5 INT's. He must now play against the most-ferocious defense in the NFL in the noisiest stadium on the planet. He must also do this with a banged-up Eddie Lacy at RB. On defense, the Packers have problems with mobile QB's. In comes Russell Wilson, who heads-up the top-ranked rushing unit in the League with Marshawn Lynch. Wilson has 849 YR and 6 TD's while workhorse, Lynch has tallied 1306 YR and 13 scores. GB ranks 23rd vs. the run. Run, run, run! Seattle will run! The Seahawks come into this game winning and covering their L7, all by DD's. Take Seattle. Thank you.

Play Oregon (Game 278).

I know that Ohio State has surpassed all critics this season but they still have a very young squad that hasn't had to face an offense that just keeps the pressure on every play. 3rd string QB. Jones got very lucky in the matchup against 'Bama, as his receivers came down with more than their share of "hail-mary's". The able and experienced Oregon secondary will throw schemes at the young QB and confuse him. We all know that the Ducks offense can light up the board on any foe but this game, this season, this matchup is the defining moment in Oregon's history. Marcus Mariota will push the speedy, organized "O" and exploit the ill-prepared OSU defense. The Ducks are 4-0 ATS their L4 Bowls and 25-10 ATS their L35 overall. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Play Denver (Game 120).

This is my AFC GOY.

A big component here is that Denver had a week off (their first one since late-September) giving them time to rest, heal, and prepare. Now I know the Colts have covered the L7 in the series but most of those were with Manning at the helm. The Broncos now have a true running game on the legs of CJ Anderson and a much superior defense with the additions of Ware, Talib, and Ward. Not to mention that they are undefeated at home this season, outscoring visitors 283-166. I like Denver here, guys. Play the Broncos. Thank you.

Play Green Bay (Game 118).

Well, I was 2 years old when the ICE BOWL took place. But this is an interesting matchup as the last time  an undefeated road team met an undefeated home team was back in '72 when the Dolphins upended the Steelers on route to their 17-0 season.

Having said that, both teams have very similar numbers on both sides of the ball. Aaron Rodgers is reported to have a banged up calf but I wouldn't put too much stock in that. I know Romo and Murray will move the chains but the big difference here will be the play of the experienced, Aaron Rodgers against a Cowboy's pass defense that can be beaten. I must side with the Packers and Rodgers who has 25 TD's at home this year with 0 Int's. Take Green Bay. Thank you.

.

Play Seattle (Game 114).

The Seahawks have put it all together over the latter-half of the season, taking their L6 both SU and ATS. The Panthers have been a media favorite of late. But take in mind that they are still a losing team that has played "less-than-stellar" squads. They also use four rookies at times on their beat-up OL. That just won't do against this 'Hawks "D" that is decimating foes, yielding just 6.8 PPG over their L6 contests. Keep in mind that Carolina hasn't had to deal with a crowd of this intensity and, or loudness. The Seahawks are 4-1 ATS their L5 Playoff games and 35-16-1 ATS their L52 games played overall. Take Seattle. Thank you.

Play New England (Game 112).

I know all the ATS stats favor Baltimore but...and this is a big but, Brady, Belichik, and the New England squad is money this time of year. They match up well with the offense and the defense against this rival, Baltimore here. The Pats have a healthy, experienced crew that can score on anyone in the league while keeping in mind that the Ravens are up-setters this time of year. Take New England. Thank you.

Play Dallas (Game102).

This is my NFL Game of the Year.

Matthew Stafford is 0-16 SU in his career away from Ford Field vs. above .500 teams. Detroit lives and dies with their defense, but incomes Tony Romo, DeMarco Murray, and Dez Bryant. The Cowboys own the #2 rushing team in the NFL, averaging 147.1 YPG on the ground while a  healthy Romo is winning late in the year, leading his team to a 4-0 SU and ATS mark the L4. I will side with the red-hot Cowboys here. Take Dallas. Thank you.

Take Indianapolis (Game 107).

These two teams met back in mid -October with the Colts thumping the Bengals, 27-0 and outgaining them, 506-135 yards. Between Andy Dalton's very thin and banged up receiving corps (WR, Green concussion and TE, Gresham leg injury) and the fact that Cincy's defense couldn't get any pressure against an inferior Pittsburgh OL last week, urges me to side with Andrew luck in the Colts whose 6 home wins this season all came by seven or more points. The Bengals are 0-5 ATS their L5 playoff games as the Colts are 21-6 ATS their L27 games played at home. Take Indianapolis. Thank you.

Play Baltimore (Game 103).

The big issue in this game is that Pittsburgh running back, Le'Veon Bell is doubtful. Even if he plays, the ball-carrier won't be 100%. But reports say he is most-likely not going to suit up. Without Bell, the Pittsburgh offensive unit will wither away behind of very weak OL. Baltimore owns a ferocious pass rush behind Dumerville and Suggs, who are the best sack tandem in the NFL. Remember that the Ravens only allow just 18.9 PPG on "D". Besides the fact that Baltimore has won five of the last eight meeting straight up, Joe Flacco and the passing game has been very successful this season along with a phenomenal ground attack behind running back, Justin Forsett (1266 YR and 8 TD'S).  Pittsburgh owns the 27th ranked passing "D" in the league. This tells me the battle-tested Flacco will dissect them with ease. The Ravens are 4-0 ATS their L4 road playoff games, 5-0 ATS their L5 overall playoff games, and 12-4 ATS their L16 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Baltimore. Thank you.

Play Carolina (Game 106).

Arizona dropped their final two games of the season to plunge to the number five seed. The Cardinals are down to third-string QB, Ryan Lindley. The 25-year-old quarterback is making just the third start of his career. Since he took over the reins, Arizona has no offense whatsoever. Star wide receiver, Larry Fitzgerald is banged up, which showed in the last week's matchup in which he had only two receptions. The Cards, even before Lindley away from home where they are just 1-3 their past four road games, averaging just 12.5 points. As a matter of fact, they have allowed five of the last six opponents to run for over 100 yards per game on top of owning one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Carolina runs the ball with great success, averaging over 127.2 yards per game on the ground. In their last four games, the Panthers defense has stepped up big-time, yielding just 10.7 PPG. Cam Newton will pass off the run with his experienced offensive unit and take this game. Take Carolina. Thank you.

Play ECU, Game 273.

Florida has a run-oriented offense which finished 12th in the SEC in passing, failing to reach 300 yards in five games this season. Soph quarterback, Treon Harris (9 TD's, 10 INT's) is at the helm. The offense will face a very good East Carolina defense that ranked 9th nationally against the run, allowing a mere 170.1 YPG on the ground. The Pirates have an explosive offense, averaging 37.2 PPG, ranking 3rd in passing and 6th in total yards. They own the best quarterback- wide receiver connection in the country. They also have an incredible ground game led by running back, Breon Allen which prevents defenses from blitzing regularly. The Pirates LB corps will wreak havoc on the Gators OL and cause turnovers. ECU is 5-0 ATS their L5 non-conference games and 5-2 ATS their L7 vs. the SEC. Take East Carolina. Thank you.

Play Washington, Game 272.

Oklahoma State will be at without their top weapon, Tyreek Hill. The speedster is the team's best WR/RB/KR. Without Hill in the backfield, the Cowboys ground attack becomes very weak. On top of that, QB, Mason Rudolph is only making his third start of his career. They must face of very disruptive, Washington pass-rush led by all – universe LB/DE, Hau'oli Kikaha. The Huskies had 49 sacks, 27 takeaways, and seven TD's the season. Remember, that Washington regularly had to deal with spread -offenses this season in the PAC 12. Quarterback, Cyler Miles will have no problem against the 100th ranked defense of Oklahoma State that yielded 32 PPG and also ranked 113th against the pass. Take Washington. Thank you.

Play Iowa, Game 267.

Tennessee will be without their starting quarterback, Justin Worley. Back up QB, Joshua Dobbs has played well over the last four games however three of those teams he faced were far inferior. The Volunteers will also be out two of their best defensive players in MLB, AJ Johnson and CB, Michael Williams. The Vols are also without one of the best receivers in Marquez North as well as several other key starters that are banged up and questionable. The Hawkeyes have covered 6 of their L7 Bowl games as a 'dog and are 5-1 ATS their L6 post-season. Quarterback, Jake Rudock will hook up with his talented tandem of receivers and exploit the Tennessee secondary. The Volunteers are 8-21 ATS their L29 games played vs. teams winning record and 3-8 ATS their L11 non-conference games. Take Iowa. Thank you.

Play Houston, game 266.

The odds makers have the wrong favorite here. Houston should be at least a 1 to 1 1/2 point favorite in this contest. Pitt relies wait too much on their running back, James Connor. However, he will have some problems going up against a big, stout Houston defense that ranks 12th in the country in points allowed and 31st against the run. On top of that, the Panthers quarterback, Chad Voytik is not a big- play QB, rarely hooking up with his wide outs downfield. The Cougars offense is more well-balanced with talented quarterbacks, and solid running back, Kenneth Farrow. The Cougars have also covered all five games away from home this season and are 8-3 ATS their L11 non-conference games and 19-8 ATS their last 27 games played overall. Take Houston. Thank you.

Play Alabama (Game 264).

For starters, Nick Saban has already taken 2 of 3 over Urban Meyer. Next, Ohio State has relied upon their offense to get them through this season. However, JT Barrett fractured his ankle in OSU's regular season finale. The dual-threat QB, passed for 2834 yards with 34 TD's in the air and was the team's second-leading rusher with 938 yards and 11 scores on the ground. Backup, Cardele Jones does not have the wheels or the arm that Barrett does. More importantly, he doesn't have the experience, which will be vital in this marquee matchup. He faces a ferocious, Alabama stop-unit that ranks 1st nationally vs. the run, 3rd in points allowed (16.6 PPG), and 10th overall in yards allowed. There is no doubt that QB, Blake Sims, RB's, Yeldon and Henry, and standout, WR, Cooper can move the chains here. Take Alabama. Thank you.

Play Oregon (Game 262).

Bottom line is that despite a 13-0 record, FSU is over-rated. They had quite a few close calls this season against Clemson, Notre Dame, Louisville, Miami, BC, Florida, and most-recently, Georgia Tech. As a matter of fact, the Seminoles were tied or trailed going into the 4th quarter, five times this season and actually were down by 14 or more points, three times. They can not play catch-up in this one. I also watched Jameis Winston closely and saw that the QB makes more than his share of poor decisions when hurried. Well, in comes the quickest defense in the nation. Oregon's stop-unit only allowed 22.5 PPG in the high-scoring, PAC 12 while their offense, led by Heisman winner, Marcus Mariota averaged 46.3 PPG on 545.5 YPG. They can score on anyone and will light up the scoreboard here. The Seminoles are 2-6 ATS their L8 vs. teams with a winning record, 0-5 ATS their L5 non-conference games, and 1-4 ATS their L5 games played overall. The Ducks are 19-7 ATS their L26 games played vs. teams with a winning record, 4-0 ATS their L4 games played on neutral sites, and 8-0 ATS their L8 games played overall. Take Oregon. Thank you.

Play MSU (Game 257).

What's the old saying? "Offense gets the glory but defense wins championships." The Bears led the nation in scoring and total yards while the Spartans allow a mere, 19.9 PPG, ranking 3rd vs. the rush, and 5th in total yards allowed, only allowing two teams in Oregon and Ohio State (two of the four playoff teams) to post significant points.. Lest not forget, Michigan State is 7th nationally in scoring on offense, averaging over 43.1 PPG. Baylor shows leaks in their "D" which MSU will exploit. Take Michigan State. Thank you.

Play Georgia Tech (Game 253).

The Bulldogs lost 2 of their L3 SU and 4 of their L6 ATS while the Yellowjackets come in here covering five straight with outright victories over Clemson and Georgia. With the way G Tech rushes the ball, they will eat up a lot of clock while their defense continues to force turnovers. I must take the touchdown and go with the Yellowjackets in this one. Take Georgia Tech. Thank you.

Take Boise State (Game 251).

Let me start by saying this line should be a pick 'em. Grant Hedrick is a true dual-threat at QB while redshirt freshman, Anu Soloman has a very young offensive unit. Arizona does have some individual starts on "D" but overall the better stop-unit definitely belongs to Boise State here. 'Zona will have problems containing Hedrick so I must side with SSU getting points here. Take Boise State. Thank you.

Take TCU (Game 250).

TCU was shocked and upset after being snubbed for the Playoffs despite shellacking Iowa State, 55-3 in their final game. Mississippi owns the nation's best defense but must go up against an offensive powerhouse that posted 30 or more points in every game this season. The Horned Frogs will make a statement and prove here that they should have been in the Playoffs. Take TCU. Thank you.

Play Stanford, game 248.

Stanford has a significant edge on both sides of the ball here. The Cardinals own a well-balanced offense led by quarterback, Kevin Hogan who is 23-8 as a starter. The senior has a 65.5% CR and a 17/8 TD/INT ratio. Stanford has a very healthy and stout OL that pounds the way for a ground game that averages over 154.8 YPG. Their defense ranked number two in the nation, yielding a mere 16 PPG, with a stifling pass rush and while being very stingy against the run. Maryland qualified for this Bowl game with five of their seven wins come against non-bowl teams. They did alright in Big Ten play but did lose to Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Michigan State by an average of 32 PPG. With only RB rushing for more than 100 yards in a game this season, the Terrapins do not have the luxury of keeping the ferocious Cardinals pass rush at bay. This team lost to the best teams they played on their schedule while Stanford's average margin of victory was 24 PPG. The Cardinal seem to get it all together to close their season with big victories over both California and UCLA. This team is 5-0 ATS their L5 games played in December and 4-1 ATS their L5 Bowl games. Take Stanford. Thank you.

Play Louisville, game 245.

Georgia head coach, Mark Richt is believed not to be able to win the big games, as he has lost three of his last four Bowls (all as a favorite). Running the ball has never been a problem for the Bulldogs. However their passing game has lacked consistency this season behind Hutson Mason. The quarterback must face an incredible defense of the Cardinals that allows just 20.5 PPG, ranks third in the nation against the run, and six in total yards allowed. On offense, Louisville owns a very well balanced squad. They can pass the ball with some success and run the ball with some success. They also use up a lot of time off the clock. Between the fact that they have an incredible defense and they have a very smart head coach, and a defensive coordinator that spent several seasons with Georgia, this urges me to side with Louisville. The Cardinals are 4-1 ATS their L5 Bowl games, 4-1 ATS their L5 vs. the SEC, and 6-2 ATS their L8 vs. teams with winning record. Take Louisville. Thank you.

Play LSU, game 244.

Notre Dame started the season at 6–0, only to lose 5 of their L6 SU, and 6 of their L7 ATS (including 5 in a row ATS). Suspensions, injuries, and a plague of turnovers have crushed the Irish. LSU owns the number three defense in the nation, allowing a paltry 16.4 PPG. They are excellent against both the rush and the pass. Offensively, The Tigers have the luxury of an OL that averages over 310 pounds and produces 5.1 yards per carry. They have three monster rushers on the offense that will overpower a Notre Dame defense that yielded 244 YPG on the ground their L5 games and 41.5 PPG their L7. The Irish are 2-6 ATS L8 Bowl games, 0-4  ATS their L4 non-conference games, and 0-5 ATS their L5 games played overall. The Tigers are 7-2 ATS their L9 games played in December, 4-0 ATS their L4 non-conference games, and 4-1 ATS L5 games played vs. teams with a winning record. Take LSU. Thank you.

Play Oklahoma, game 240.

Oklahoma quarterback, Trevor Knight is no stranger to big-time Bowl games as he was named the MVP of the Sugar Bowl a season ago after beating Alabama. The big news in this game is the fact that Knight, RB sensation Perine (1579  YR and 21 TD'S), and WR, Sterling Shepard (19.1 YPC) are all healthy for the first time in quite a while. The Sooners have a very big and mobile OL, which can push around the defensive line of the Tigers here. Clemson does have one of the best defenses in all of the nation, but lack a lot when it comes to their offense, most of all, consistency. They don't run the ball particularly well nor do they pass it was a great success. It is just your defense that keeps them in games and I believe their stop unit will be challenged against this well-balanced Oklahoma offensive attack that can run, pass, and score. Clemson has crushed bettors for more than two months, failing to cover 6 of their L7 contests. The Sooners are 6-1 ATS their L7 non-conference games. Take Oklahoma. Thank you.

Play West Virginia, game 237.

West Virginia comes in to this Bowl game on a high-note, after beating Iowa State 37-24. Texas A&M has lost each of the last two games to Missouri and LSU and 5 of their L7 SU, while failing to cover 7 of their L8 overall. The Aggies are not as explosive with quarterback, Kyle Allen under center. The freshman's inexperience will prove to be fatal to the team here. West Virginia has Skyler Howard at quarterback. The play-caller offers a multi-dimensional threat  here as he can throw the ball as well as run it which makes it like having another running back in the backfield for WV. Just in case, the team can still call on Clint Trickett coming off the bench as a gunslinger. Either quarterback can take advantage of a Texas A&M defense that allowed 31 PPG vs. FBS opponents this season. The Mountaineers have a better balanced aerial attack and a very good ground game. On the defensive side of the ball, the Mounties only allowed 31% on third down compared to the Aggies 42%. All season long the A&M stop unit only logged in 5 INT's. A big plus here might be the unconventional 3-3-5 defense of West Virginia which is much deeper and more-talented at the DB position. On top of everything else A&M just had a hard time getting bad bettors paid this season not to mention they are 2-6 ATS their L8bowl games, 9-24 ATS L33 vs. teams with a winning record, 1-4 ATS there L5 games playing in December, and 2-11 ATS their L 13 neutral site games. Take West Virginia. Thank you.

Play Green Bay, game 302.
This is my 89% Angle play.

The Lions have not won in Green Bay since 1991. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are a perfect 7-0 SU at home this season, going 5-1-1 ATS, and averaging 41.1 points per game at Lambeau Field. This game will decide the NFC North champion. Aside from that, Detroit hasn't covered a road game in their last four attempts. The Lions show very little on the offensive side of the ball, averaging just 20.1 PPG and virtually no running game. Take Green Bay. Thank you.   

Play Indianapolis, game 307.
This is my MVP play.

Indianapolis needs to get back on track here after last week's self-destruction against Dallas. The Colts need to go into the playoffs on a high-note. I expect a more improved performance from quarterback, Andrew Luck here against the 2-13 Tennessee Titans defense that ranks 31st in the League in points allowed, yielding 27.4 PPG. The Colts have owned the Titans, covering the last six in the series. They are also money after a straight up loss, going 11-1-1 ATS after their L13 straight up losses. Take Indianapolis. Thank you.

Play New England, game 312.
This is my Touchdown play.

New England is locked into the top seed in the AFC playoffs. But despite this, head coach, Bill Belichik has traditionally always given his all in week 17, having won and covered his last four and owns an 11-2 SU record his L13 in their season finales. The team will be off in the first week of the NFL playoffs and does not want to go several weeks and go into their first playoff game stale. Not to forget that they have also beaten Buffalo 6 in a row SU, going 4-2 ATS. The last time the Bills won in Foxborough was back in 2000. Take New England. Thank you.

Play Minnesota, game 318.
This is my NFC North game of the year.

Minnesota comes into this game covering their last five in a row and with rookie head coach, Mike Zimmer, they will be going all out against their division rival that beat them back in November. Chicago comes in losing your last four and a row straight up, going 1-3 ATS. The Bears are having a fire-sale, shopping for a new head coach, new defensive coordinator, and a new quarterback. Their defense is as thin as paper, allowing 126 points over their L4 contests. Minnesota quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater has improved significantly over past four games, completing over 70% of his passes and throwing for multiple touchdowns in each of those contests. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Play New York, game 313.

New York has been playing tough down the stretch for head coach, Rex Ryan, who is rumored to be fired after this game. On top of that quarterback, Geno Smith has gotten some decent stats of late. No way the Jets players, who happen to like Ryan will go out here without a fight. Miami comes in here failing to cover the last four, fading once again in the last portion of the season. The Dolphins have allowed over 31.1 points per game over their last five outings. The Jets will give Ryan a big sendoff against the team that they are 13-3 ATS their L16 meetings in Miami, and 22 - 9-1 ATS their L32 meetings overall. Take New York. Thank you.

Take Boston College, game 234.

Now guys, I truly feel that the line should be closer to 5.5 or 6.0. BC's Quarterback, Tyler Murphy is a stud, leading his team to 8 covers this season while Penn State has had problems with mobile QB's over recent years. I know both stop-units are solid but the Nittany Lions just can't punch it in when in the red zone. So I gotta' go with the proven scorer in Murphy. The Eagles cover this one. Thank you.
