Taking GREENSBORO. Have cashed with these guys a few times already. They are a top mid-major program. Elon will be bringing up the rear in the CAA, while NCG should be dancing for the So Con. Greensboro crushed these guys last year 75-44 and I would think about 15-20 win is on tap tonight. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO 

Taking DRAKE. Milwaukee back from dropping a pair of games in Ireland. I think Drake will dictate their tempo and the Panthers don't shoot well enough to cover even this small number. 4* Money Maker DRAKE BULLDOGS 

Going OVER the total. Had this on the Free Pick Video the other night. And have had the over in Ottawa games a couple times. 4* Total Money OVER 

Taking the COLORADO AVALANCHE 4* Money Maker 

Taking COLUMBUS. Have to grab these guys in this spot. Off a 9-6 loss. Giving up 9 goals. I expect a huge defensive effort tonight. 4* Money Maker COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS

Fellas. I don't know what to say. Northeastern really wet the bed for us. But another near miss by a bucket with CMU. This is starting to remind me of 2 years ago when I had nearly 55 games decided by a half to 3 points, all in the wrong direction. Just one play as of now - Taking LOYOLA MARYMOUNT. 4* Money Maker -- - Texas, Cal , Rio Grande could be in play later today. 

Taking TEXAS. As double digit faves they lose to Radford. They won't be overlooking Shaka's old school. I think they run VCU out of the building tonight. 4* Money Maker TEXAS 

Taking NORTH TEXAS. Have these guys as the #2 in CUSA. Indiana State the middle of MVC. Short line, you can go ML. 4* Money Maker NORTH TEXAS 

Taking the CAPITALS. Coming in angry after allowing 3 goals in the 3rd in a 6-5 home loss. Washington have won 5 straight and Vegas surely remembers all. But sometimes a team just has your number. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS 

Taking NORTHEASTERN. Don't think we see many points. So getting double digits is nice. I have NE at the top of the CAA. Coach an old BC assistant so he has seen the Orange defense and won't be surprised. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN 

Taking the HEAT. Miami in a nice home spot while Magic back from the west coast for a final road game. This is a winnable game vs a so-so team playing their 6th straight road game. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HEAT 

Taking OKLAHOMA. These guys are pretty similar - Just think Sooners a bit better and will pull this out in MSG. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA 

Taking CENTRAL MICHIGAN. Youngstown not a good team at all. Should be in the basement of the Horizon. CMU with some experienced players. Chips should really win this one by double digits. 4* Money Maker CENTRAL MICHIGAN 

Taking EDMONTON. Will grab the Oilers as a small dog. Things turning around since changing coaches as Edmonton is now 4-1-1 since the move. Defense improved with just 13 goals in those games, 5 vs LA Kings. 4* Money Maker EDMONTON OILERS 

Going UNDER the total here. Will tell you this, with the Steelers pending, I am looking at a 3-1 day in the Super Contest (Top 20) and have the Redskins for Monday night. Dogs are 15-4 ATS last 19 vs Philly. Why not take the Skins here you say? Well. Even though I put out a bunch of plays sometimes, I really try to put out my strongest numbers. And in MNF tonight, that edge is the UNDER. You know whenever I see that home team as less than a 7pt fave, I say to myself I here the talk at the water-coolers of the every-man. Oh man. You telling me the Eagles can't win by a touch-down. I love them tonight. Who is Colt McCoy. Give me Wentz all day. So we like the under based on what I think is the Philly DL getting pressure on the QB. Washington with some extra prep time which is huge this time of year. 6-5 Skins 5-6 Iggles. Desperate SB Champs. Chasing 7-5 Cowboys- Oh the humanity! FG wins it for someone. 4* Total Money UNDER Redskins/ Eagles 

Taking the STEELERS. Hate going against the Chargers. We have had them several times already this year. But Pitt at home is a different animal. Big Ben, totally different at Heinz field. Will probably look into the over here as the game gets closer also. Flex helps a bit so it's not an early body clock game for LAC - If the Chargers had a healthy Gordon, maybe I would think about bucking Pitt at home. Can't see Rivers having a day like he did last week vs Arizona. Steelers will be in foul mood after losing at Denver. It's a short number, and Steelers dominate at Heinz. 4* Money Maker PITT STEELERS 

Going OVER the total here. Leaning towards NE in this game, but here, simply a play on the over. 4* Total Money OVER Vikes/ Pats 

Taking SEATTLE. Will lay this. Seattle hurt me last week as we had Caroline. Our only loser on a 7-1 Sunday of NFL action. This SF team has hit hard times. The offense is terrible. Can't see them putting up 14 here vs the Seahawks who look they are ready for a playoff push. Seattle 10-2-1 ATS last 13 in the series. Mullins or Beathard vs Wilson. I was never a huge Wilson fan. But the guy is great. Seattle going away 30-13. 5* Best Bet SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the BROWNS. We will find out just how good the Texans are eventually. They are really getting all kinds of gifts in this win streak. OT Coaching blunders by Colts and Dallas. Injury to QBs during games. Games with backup QBs starting. Pick 6 INTs with a minute left in game. Now they are on a short week off that Monday nighter against Titans - and have big division game on deck vs Colts. Texans 4-11 ATS last 15 and 1-5 ATS last 6 at home. Browns come into town showing zero quit and battling every game. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the COLTS. Time to send in the clowns. Jags officially done. We faded them and cashed last week. Will do the same here. Streaking Colts looking to the playoffs. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking the BILLS. This group shows zero quit. Buffalo has covered 7 of 10 in the series. Miami showed some life with Tannehill behind center. But I like the Bills defense right now and the 3.5 is too good to pass up. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the FALCONS. I actually took these guys early on one of my NJ Apps at +3. No way in heck should Lamar Jackson be favored here. Give me Ryan at home all day long. 11-3-1 ATS as dog or Pk.  I know Ravens have some defense in play. But Atlanta is not a bad team. I look for them to bounce back today. Baltimore hitting the road. A lot different in the dome vs these guys. Extra rest for the Dirty Birds. 8* Sure Shot ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the RAMS. The door to the 1 seed has reopened. LA fresh off their bye. This could get ugly. McVay has no problem running things up. We will see 40+ this afternoon. 10* Money Bomb LA RAMS 

Taking the OILERS. Grabbing Edmonton in a revenge spot from their 6-3 loss a couple weeks ago. After that loss, a coaching change, and a 3-1-1 run for Oilers. Vegas wrapping up a 3 game road trip. Oilers wrapping up a 3 game home stand. Home ice takes it. 5* Best Bet EDMONTON OILERS 

Taking OHIO STATE. So I am no fan of tOSU - But I will lay it and would lay 20 here. Fast track in the dome and I don't think Northwestern is keeping up. I know that Buckeyes have had some up and down performances. But not in Championship Games. They come to play, and Meyer won't be ashamed to run it up tonight. Last game on the card, so he will know how all the Sooners and Georgia did. I think Alabama, Clemson are locked in no matter the outcome of their games, plus ND. Who saw last week's butt-kicking of Michigan coming? Much like that 59-0 drubbing of Wisconsin in 2014 Championship Game. Not sure how Wildcats going to slow this machine done. No grass to help the cause. Ohio State has dropped 50+ 4 times and 49 on 2 more occasions. 10* Money Bomb OHIO STATE 

Taking FRESNO. Going ML. You can grab the 2.5 or 3 as a couple of those are still lingering around. Lost here a couple weeks ago as the Bulldogs blew a 17-10 lead. Time for a little double revenge. Revenge for the loss a back on November 9th. And revenge for last years loss right here in the Championship Game 17-14 as Boise scored late in the 4th. 4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE 

Going UNDER the total. Already on FRESNO in this game. Think it will be a tough one again. 27-20/ 24-20 type of game. 4* Total Money UNDER Fresno / Boise

Taking KANSAS. Think these guys roll this afternoon. Won't be shocked to see a 25-30 point win today. 49+46 vs Wiscy and Florida. Can't see them getting to 60 . 4* Money Maker KANSAS 

Taking ALABAMA today. My NJ Fan Dual app had this at 11 and I grabbed it.They sometimes have lines a couple points off, so that is nothing new. I feel just as fine laying this. We had the Tide last week. Eventually. This train breaks loose and it's a 20pt win. This isn't last year. Yes, Bulldogs with revenge for the Championship OT loss last year.  A full season, and a full game Tua is a tough match-up. I hate comparing how they do in SEC play. But, Alabama 29-0 at LSU and Georgia losses 36-16 at LSU. I'm going to lay it. 5* Best Bet ALABAMA 

Taking UCF. Bucking the trend of everyone fading these guys based on a back-up QB taking the reigns. At Memphis earlier this year, the line was 5.5, it opened in some places at 7 - and that tells me that with Milton this would have been UCF laying 10 or 11 points. Last 2 games a double OT game and a 1pt win. I am sure something special is in store for this afternoon. Something like back QB Darriel Mack leads UCF to back to back undefeated season with 4 TDs in win 20pt win over Memphis. Knights rally for their fallen leader. 4* Money Maker UCF 

Taking NORTHEASTERN. Not sold on EMU, especially on the road. These guys had 36 points vs Rutgers. 4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN 

Taking KANSAS STATE. Numbers show me that K-State is the better team right now. Getting points a bonus. 4* Money Maker KANSAS STATE 

Taking GONZAGA. Best team in the land. I just don't have Creighton that high. It might be close the first half. Zaga will wear the Blue Jays down. 4* Mony Maker GONZAGA 

Taking OKLAHOMA. Forget about Tom Herman dog trends. Big revenge spot for the Sooners. Oklahoma has a bad defense- Well, after spotting Texas 3 turnovers and a 45-24 lead, Oklahoma only reeled off a 21-3 4th quarter. Did Texas just sit on their heels? Or did the Sooners play some defense? 56 points allowed last week. But hey, 2 defensive TDs. I don't think Ehlinger can keep Texas in this thing. If you are telling me you know that Boomer Sooner is turning the ball over 3 times and Longhorns hold onto the ball and turn those into 21 points - then I can see taking Texas here. No way Texas slows these guys down. 7 times scoring more than 50. 10 times scoring more than 45. High Noon Assault in Jerry's World. 5* Best Bet OKLAHOMA SOONERS 

Going OVER. Over has cashed 8 of 9 on the series and 5 straight in Ottawa. Sharks over in 6 of last 8 on the road. 4* Total Money OVER Sharks/ Sens 

Taking GREENSBORO. These guys have put money on our pockets already. Won't be shocked if this line goes up. Public will be all over Kentucky. Look at some of these lines already for them. 26.5 28.5 22.5 33.5 18.5 - Only single digit game, vs Duke -2.5 and get rolled by 34. Greensboro is tough and will keep it close. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO 

Taking ST JOHNS here. I think Mullin finally has a decent crew here. I like these guys. I really don't remember Mullin/ Walter Berry teams. But I know I loved the Malik Sealy, Boo Harvey bunch and followed them since. Talent is there for them to get to the NCAAs. - 4* Money Maker ST JOHNS

As I said the other day. CBB is very frustrating right now.(48-51)  - With 125 games in College today, I had a pretty big ticket. I left these smaller schools off simply because of 1 - Several people have messaged me saying they can't get action on them. And 2 - When we are dropping close games, I know it is tough for you to back teams like this.  - 

These guys nearly made the cut. 

Northern Alabama +10.5 - Bowling Green +1  - Boston U +1.5 - FAU -3 - Cal Baptist NL yet, I'm saying 3.5 or 4. 

Taking BUFFALO. Had these guys a couple times during the year. Look. Huskies have some experience in MAC Championships with a run of 6 straight in the books. But this team is different. As, the don't muster offense like some of those squads. Defense is solid. We will side with the Bulls to get it done. It will be a grind, they should pull away for a 10+ point win. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BULLS 

Taking APPALACHIAN STATE. Will take the experienced Sun Belt team. ECU in a total rebuild with a new HC and a young roster. Give me the small school playing a bigger name, even if it is just ECU. 4* Money Maker APPALACHIAN STATE 

Taking MARIST.  -- First up. I know our CBB has been up and down so far. And that is very disappointing for me as I normally come out very strong in November hoops. Last November, 57-43 good for 57%  - This year, 47-50. And seems like every game, win or lose, is decided by a bucket or 2. Like yesterday UCF. That could be a win, lose or push. Belmont misses by a bucket. I'm frustrated that I haven't delivered like I should be on the hardwood. We'll turn this around. Last year, we were the #1 Total Money Capper in College Basketball. We know what we are doing, won't panic, and continue to find winners to grind out our daily bankroll. 

We will back Marist here. Numbers have the Red Foxes winning this one. 4* Money Maker MARIST 

Taking CAL BAPTIST. First year here in D1 - But do not fret. This team won 20+  for 5 straight years and made the DII tournament 5 straight years. Riverside is not a good Big West team. Never over .500 in 18 years in Big West play. A new HC and an overhauled roster. We'll take the small school in-state rival? I mean, they have to be rivals right? WAC vs Big West for Thursday night! 4* Money Maker CAL BAPTIST 

Taking DALLAS here. Both teams last seen winning on Thanksgiving. We have made money on the Saints all season except when we had Tampa in Week 1 and then Cincy 3 weeks ago. If NO is going to get clipped, it's here or in 2 weeks at Carolina. The first of 3 road games for the Saints. This is a tough game. Dallas finally putting some offense together. They do have a decent defense, though it doesn't really get turnovers. Take the home dog tonight. Won't be shocked if they steal an outright win here. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking OTTAWA. A little revenge tonight. Rangers won 4-2 on Monday. Senators take it tonight. 4* Money Maker OTTAWA SENATORS 

Taking BELMONT. Will grab the top team in the OVC tonight. Samford a young group. Going with the experienced, better team. 4* Money Maker BELMONT 

Taking CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE 4* Money Maker 

Taking UCF. Like this bunch. Always brings the defense. Think they are the better team. 4* Money Maker UCF 

waiting on Belmont and Central Connecticut State lines to be posted. Sorry for multiple emails. 

Grabbing IRVINE. I think Mary's will be a bit down this year. Irvine one of those teams that should win their conference, and maybe steal one from a decent school on the road. Enough points that we are in this thing. Gaels getting scoring from 2 guys. 4* Money Maker CAL IRVINE 

Going UNDER here. Suns in a back to back. I have to be honest. I don't see Suns scoring that much tonight. Tops, what, maybe 105. I don't think Clippers drop 125. 4* Total Money UNDER Suns / Clippers 

Some CFB and NFL plays will be added later today.. Sorry for multiple email notifications. 

Taking FLAMES, going PUCK LINE. Won't lay 2-1. So we have Stars in a back to back. Calgary rested a bit. Dallas on a 1-4 slide, Flames going 4-1. 4* Money Maker CALGARY FLAMES 

Taking NORTHERN ILLINOIS. Just can't find any numbers, even being home, that would justify GB being even a 1pt fave tonight. Could be a shoot-out, but we have enough to survive. 4* Money Maker NORTHERN ILLINOIS 

Taking SAN DIEGO. We have a team getting a nice amount of points, that plays better defense. This should come down to the last minute. Points at a premium. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO 

Taking SYRACUSE. Lot of games on tap today, so I am going to keep these short. These 2 really close - but I like the Orange defense to be the difference maker. 4* Money Maker SYRACUSE 

Taking BRADLEY. Deep rotation. Plenty of upperclassman. They have knocked off Penn State and SMU on neutral courts. IUPUI is a 1 man show. 4* Money Maker BRADLEY 

Taking GEORGIA STATE. I have GaSt as a Top 20 mid-major program. And as we have seen other times this year, no better time to take these guys vs a 'bigger' school. Always with a chip on their shoulder, you know you will get their 'A' game. These guys will win the Sun Belt and are led by conference POY. They just knocked off Georgia, and have beaten the Bonnies. I would put Tulane below those 2 programs right now. Tulane will most likely be pulling up the rear of the AAC. 5* Best Bet GEORGIA STATE 

Taking TULSA. This Arlington team lost everyone from last year. 5 starting seniors and 3 others in their rotation. Tulsa with a nice experienced guard to make the team go. I think they win this one by 14 or so. 4* Money Maker TULSA 

Taking IOWA. Yes. Pitt is 6-0 this year. I get they have a new HC in Capel. High hopes. Of course there are high hope, 8-24 last year. Youngstown, VMI, Troy, Central Arkansas, North Alabama. That is 5 of your 6 wins. This Hawkeyes team is pretty good. We had them rolling Oregon back in MSG. They should win this one by 20. 4* Money Maker IOWA 

Taking TEMPLE. Give me the small dogs here. Two teams that play some defense 65.7 Temple 65.6 Missouri. But only 1 at 74.5 (Temple) outscoring their opponents. Tigers can't muster much offense logging 63.6ppg - Think the Owls can scrape enough O together to pull out W tonight. 4* Money Maker TEMPLE OWLS 

Taking LOY CHI. So you can roll out how Nevada is coming in with NCAA revenge and are one of the Top 5,10 teams in the country. This line will probably go up a tick. But I will grab the home dogs tonight. I can't see Wolfpack getting their 92ppg average tonight. Loy Chi will force the temp and stay in this thing. 4* Money Maker LOYOLA CHICAGO 

Taking SOUTH DAKOTA. Will take the big dogs here. Don't sleep on my Summit League buddies. A nice experienced bunch returns. These guys lost at UCLA by 3 last year and at Duke by 22. Playing at young Baylor team will not be difficult. I think we keep it close, and possibly, if things go very well, we get an outright win. 4* Money Maker SOUTH DAKOTA 

Taking TAMPA and going PUCK LINE. I'm not one of those guys who tell you to take -180, -220, -260 favorites. Not Money Line faves in MLB. Not in NHL. And sure as heck not in College Football or NFL. If that is what you like to do, then why are you on sites looking for betting help and advice. That isn't helping. I think that is a fraud. So we grab Tampa at home as the Ducks enter Game 2 of their east coach road trip. 4* PL Money TAMPA BAY 

Taking VIRGINIA TECH. Ok. Might be a bit of square play here. But I can't see VT losing this one. I have Penn State near the bottom of the Big 10. VT is a tough team. I hate laying such a short number with the 'ranked' team. I'm going to stick to my numbers and back the small road fave. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA TECH

Taking the WARRIORS. Normally I like to shy away from these guys. But we are getting some value here. So Magic opened their road trip getting ambushed in Denver losing by 25 - then yesterday, a nice win over the Lakers and LeBron. Maybe they put up a fight for a half. Something tells me we get a really focused Warriors team finishing up a home stand. 4* Money Maker GS WARRIORS 

Going OVER the total here. Sens have been an over machine. 8-2 over their last 10. Just look at the total goals in these game. 10-10-12-10-10-8-10-7 .. two that didn't cash, 3 and 6. Ottawa 10-1 to the Over their last 11 on the road. Even if we look at a longer sample. 36-16-2 over run last 54 games for the Senators. 4* Total Money OVER Sens/Rangers 

Taking WOFFORD. Will grab the in-state rival in this spot. These guys should be the 1 or #2 team in the SoCon. I get it isn't SEC hoops. But South Carolina isn't that much better in ratings. Experienced bunch from the Terriers. They only beat Georgia Tech and North Carolina on the road last year. A team that was inexperienced at the time went on to win 21 games. Wofford has 2 losses this year, both by 11 to Oklahoma and NC. They will be in this one. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD 

Taking the VIKINGS. I get how everyone will run to Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Last we saw these guys they were busy blowing a double digit lead on the road to Seattle. Always tough game after playing up there. GB now a miserable 0-5 this year on the road and 7 straight! 7 straight losses and a 1-5-1 ATS run for the Packers when they aren't at home. Minny on a 17-4-1 ATS as a home fave. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Taking the CHARGERS. Lost with both of thees guys last week. Will fade the road team today. I know that overall, Arizona has a pretty decent defense for themselves. And laying basically 2 TDs is a tough cover. But Chargers aren't too shaby themselves. Rosen has more INTs than TDs this year. he will cough it up. LAC needs to shut down the Cards RB. I don't see Arizona getting more than 13 points. Unless we have Rivers and LAC with 4 TOs on the wrong side of the 50, this games should be 30-10. A nice steady pace of Gordon on the ground and Rivers in the air should make this a nice afternoon win. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS 

Taking CALGARY - Shut-out on Friday, I expect a bounce back win this afternoon. Flames 7-3 last 10 in the series and 4-1 here in Arizona. Yotes on 1-4 home skid. 4* Money Maker CALGARY FLAMES 

4* Money Maker BOWLING GREEN 

Taking the BILLS. Think it is safe to say the party is over for the Jags. What a brutal way to go down last week to the Steelers. Now you are expecting them to get off the deck to win on the road, in Buffalo? I get the Bills are a bad team. But, we have revenge from the playoffs last year. Still some hold-over from that team. And, there has been plenty of play-off payback this season already. So again.. Both teams 3-7. Jags officially out of the playoffs. Up 16-0 and blowing it vs Steelers. On the heels of coming up short vs Indy. 6 straight losses. Bills dropped 41 on the Jets and have to be feeling good about things coming out of their bye week. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the GIANTS. I never thought that NYG was as bad as the record. They had a heck of schedule out of the gate. I should have grabbed the 6 earlier in the week, but, I think we have the shot at the outright win today. Eagles don't look good. The offense isn't the same missing last years OC. The defense has been hit with injuries. GMen do have a couple play-makers that can cause some trouble for this Eagles crew. As much as people make fun of the Giants and Cowboys not scoring - Philly has scored more than 24 points just once this season! NYG has gotten 27 or more on 4 occasions including their last 2. 4* Money Maker NY GIANTS 

Taking the BROWNS. Going ML. Of course the one time I don't load up games early, the line goes from 3 to 1. No worries though. As much as Cincy battled back last week vs the Ravens, what do they have left in the tank for the Browns. Cleveland in off bye week, and previously, a big win over the Falcons. These guys showing some fight. I think we have 2 teams heading in opposite directions. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking BALTIMORE. Looking to really move a bit here on the Ravens. Last week I took it right on the chin backing Arizona. What the heck are the Raiders doing winning games when they need that top draft pick? Oh. Carr says screw the draft, he wants to win. Well why I won't be shocked one bit when he is on the bench at halftime in say, a 16-3 game. He isn't going to be in Vegas. Gruden will be. Now from Arizona out the east coast vs a desperate Ravens squad. A bunch of 5-5 teams in the AFC. Baltimore needs to notch a win. Raiders had lost 5 straight games by at least 14 points before pulling out the W last week. I see this in the 27-13 range. 5* Best Bet BALTIMORE RAVENS 

Taking the PATRIOTS. Both teams in off bye weeks. Both in off losses. Pats on the road vs Titans as we backed Tennessee and their NE connections to a nice dog outright. Jets crushed at home by Bills. HC match-up is a complete mismatch. And one of them is having a rough go of things lately. NE has covered 3 of 4 off bye weeks and 13 of 17 off SU losses. Laying double digits to a division foe who plays you tough is a tricky spot. But as we toss in a rookie QB and the total state of Jets, a clearer picture comes into focus. At 7-3 NE has its work cut out for them if they want to be the 1 seed. It is a crowded room as Pitt 7-2-1, Houston 7-3, Chargers 7-3 are all looking at the 9-2 Chiefs. I'm thinking NE 27-13 with a couple of INTs by whoever is under center for NYJ. 8* Sure Shot NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

Taking CAROLINA as our Top 10* today. Last we saw Seattle, they were beating the Packers for all the world to see. Extra rest helps the cross-country trip. But still a 10am body clock game. Panthers last see costing us bankroll in a game vs Detroit. Look. I have had Seattle as a rebuilding club all year. That isn't changing. Carolina at home is a big step up from win-less on the road Green Bay. Cam is usually on the money in his home games. I see this as a 10 point win for us. 10* Money Bomb CAROLINA PANTHERS 

Taking the PELICANS. Both teams in a back to back. But shorter travel and playing a worse team. I'll grab the better team tonight. 4* Money Maker NEW ORLEANS PELICANS 

Taking NOTRE DAME. I think ND is the real deal. We have see the Irish drop 40+ the last 3 meetings. Were any of those teams better than 5-6 SC team? I know you can rally around the, 'well it's their Super Bowl or whatever' I just can't get behind the Trojans in anyway tonight. ND, like other playoff teams, know they need to pass the eye test. And that is putting up points. They need to pull a 48-17 win on the road, in the books tonight. 8* Sure Shot NOTRE DAME

Taking HOFSTRA. Have these guys right near the top of the CAA while VCU in the middle of the A10. Like the Pride balance. They do everything just a bit better than VCU right now. 4* Money Maker HOFSTRA 

Taking SAN JOSE STATE. This Clara team is pretty bad right now. They aren't scoring much. And they have given up 80+ in 3 of 4 games. So the defense sure isn't helping. Now. Spartans aren't a basketball powerhouse. Their lone win was over someone called Life Pacific. But, always a but people! -- They did go 0-3 in their tournament. lost by 2 to CMU, lost by 1 to Bakersfield, and by 8 to Weber. These guys are competitive. After some close calls, they get it done here at home. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE STATE 

Taking FAU. Florida Atlantic needs a win to go bowling. Charlotte just canned their HC after last weeks loss. Lane Train needs to do something. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA ATLANTIC 

Taking GREENSBORO. You know this our team. Cashed with them a couple times already. Both of these guys in my Mid-Major Top 25 rankings. I just have NCG rated a bit higher. Should be able to cover this number. But both of these teams should be on your list of teams to be backing this season. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO 

Taking ALABAMA. How does anyone get in front of this out of control freight train. So they played The Citadel to a 1st half tie last week. Bama needs to play with chips on their shoulders. Where is there motivation? Revenge from last years 26-14 loss should get the gears churning a bit. Not sold at all on Auburn. The one team remotely close to the Tide they have played - Georgia.. A 27-10 road loss. 37-6 sounds about right. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA 

Taking SMU. Had these guys last game vs Memphis. Not only did they fail to cover, they did it a painful fashion with a missed 2pt conversion. Ouch. Look- SMU needs this W for their bowl birth. No let-down off that bad loss in site. Tulsa miserable this year. When they aren't turning the ball over, they are thinking about how to turn it off 3 possessions from now. Tulsa is 2-9 for a reason. They're bad. 10* Money Bomb SMU 

Taking WESTERN KENTUCKY. Indiana State a two man team. Not shocking, since those 2 guys are their only returning contributors from last years team. I have WKU as one of the Top 15 mid majors in the country. They should take care of this bunch. These guys are the top dogs in CUSA. They opened losing at Washington. Beat Tenn-Martin, Valpo and West Virginia. Dropped the next game to UCF in a let-down spot. Should win this one by 10. 4* Money Maker WESTERN KENTUCKY 

Taking DEPAUL. I really don't think these teams are that far apart. Won't be shocked if this line goes up a bit since people love 'big names" and in CBB or CFB, Notre Dame is one of those names. Strus for DePaul the best guy on the floor. 4* Money Maker DEPAUL 

Taking OHIO STATE. Hey,, Laying 3.5 and maybe buying down to 3 with Michigan is one thing. Laying 5 to Urban Meyer and his insane dog numbers - totally different breed of animal.  Ohio State hasn't been a home dog since 2011! 40-3 SU here. 13-1 SU in this series. In with 6 straight wins, and 13 in 14 games, Buckeyes dog to the Wolverines. The send out Game of the Year line on this was OSU -9. Now they are +5. I know OSU doesn't have a defense anything close to Michigan. Senior day in Columbus with the winner heading to the Big 10 Championship Game. Give me the home pups. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE 

Taking FIU .. Trip to CUSA Championship Game with a win.. Sign me up on the home dogs to get there with an OUTRIGHT win. 4* Money Maker FIU PANTHERS 

Taking the LAKERS. This is more of fade of the Jazz. These guys just are not the same team as they were last year. And that is really reflected on the defensive side of things. Have to take the Lakers here. 4* Money Maker LA LAKERS 

Going OVER in Sens/ Stars. Ottowa 9-1 over their last 10 on the road. Series has gone over  9 of the last 12 here in Dallas. 4* Total Money OVER Sens/Stars 

Taking WEST VIRGINIA and going ML. I know it hurts that we have West Va off that brutal loss. Up 31-14 at the half. 34-24 to start the 4th. Loss with 42 seconds left. Ouch. But - Senior day in Morgantown. Sooners defense can't stop anything right now. Winner in the Big 12 Championship Game. Home doggy outright. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA 

Taking GREENSBORO. Like this team. Have backed them before. NCG beat these guys by 13 last year. Spartans a good team. Should be in the NCAAs this year. Blue Hens near the bottom of the CAA. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO 

Taking CENTRAL FLORIDA. Had these guys last week, will go back to the well again. As i said then. No team with more to prove. If they have any shot at the Playoffs they need 20-30 point win here. Win, win and win some more. This will be one of their 38-17 type games. 4* Money Maker UCF 

Taking VIRGINIA. No time like the present to end a 14 game losing streak to your in-state rivals. VT suffering through a bad year. I know as home pups, you would think they are up and ready to play their rivals. I just can't get behind the Hokies. Even off a loss, VA has a lot working in its favor. Big edge on defense. A QB completing over 70% of his passes last 3 games. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA

Taking JAMES MADISON. I see this line from 1, 1.5. You might even find a 2 if you wait. But I'm not betting on 1.5 or 2pt dogs to lose by 1. They win outright. Dukes just the better team. Oakland lost a lot of scoring from last years squad. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON 

Taking GRAND CANYON. Like this WAC bunch. Down on the hall. Think the Lopes win this puppy outright. 4* Money Maker GRAND CANYON. 

College Football for Friday - Saturday will be coming up later today. 

Going OVER the total. Saints go under last week putting up 48 points! Look. This is a lot of points that NO is laying, 12-13 in some places. I think they score 40+. This Falcons defense couldn't stop them at home. And the Saints defense had problems also. Brees at home has been, well, the guy is  HOFer. That is all you need to know. Atlanta with enough O to put up 24-30. 4* Total Money OVER Falcons/ Saints 

Taking the SAINTS, and will look for a 20+ point win. Look. Had these guys last week. And they rolled. And it looked like they went easy on Philly. Falcons in off loss to Dallas. We had the Cowboys and the points (lost the Over though). This is it for Atlanta. For you to be on the Falcons you have to be thinking they win out. They need to win their final 6 games for 10 wins and a playoff spot. They still have games at GB, Carolina and TB. And before you laugh at Tampa, just look at the points they put up. Plus games at home vs Baltimore and Arizona. And to tell you the truth, that isn't really weighing all that much on my play here. Rams won on Monday night. And for NO to hold that tie-breaker edge and home field through playoffs, they need to win. And this team isn't a win by a point team. Brees is on another level right now. He should carve up this defense like we will be carving up our Turkeys and Hams 3 hours prior to this kick-off. New Orleans again will toy with dropping a 50 spot. The sites don't have first half lines - But I can see NO jumping out to a fast lead by half-time if you want to sprinkle something on that. At this points, Saints really can just name their score vs teams. I think they want this 40pt streak to continue. The spots where I think NO is ripe for being picked off (though I was wrong at Cincy) is possibly Dallas next week or, playing their 3rd straight game at Carolina in 3 weeks. 5* Best Bet NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

Taking DALLAS - I know that Dallas is terrible at home ATS wise 0-7 on Thanksgiving. I know that Thanksgiving home faves are great ATS wise 15-3 when laying 7 or more. I don't think there is much drop off at the QB position for Washington. I think the bigger issue is their OL play. Dallas defense is tough. Not great at turning teams over, but the defense is very sound. Last game, Jason Garrett clapped his way to lose. That's what this clown does. Crush peoples hopes and dreams when you back them. In this spot, like last week. I swallow hard and pray to the football Gods that in a league that gave us a 100pt game on Monday night, this guy doesn't continue to bring back 3 yards and a cloud of dust football. Zeke is the key. The kid does it all out of the backfield. He then opens things up for Dak.  Back to back upset road wins has Cowboys back in the NFC East hunt - Winner here takes first place as even splitting, Dallas 3-1 in division, Redskins 2-1. Huge game for Cowboys. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking COLORADO. Though about taking the Avs PL +230. But will just try to get the W on the ML. I am bucking the LA trends in the head to head games. Kiings just have not looked good this season and with the short price, we will take the road team. 4* Money Maker COLORADO AVALANCHE 

Taking KANSAS. I do like Marquette. We got crushed backing them at Indiana. I just do not like this match-up for them. Kansas with too much size. I'm laying it. 4* Money Maker KANSAS 

Taking FULLERTON. Like both of these schools and conferences. This isn't that bad of a spot for CSN. They were just in a tourney down in South Carolina. So they have been on the east coast for a bit. The points are nice considering all the pieces back from the Big West Tournament Champs. 4* Money Maker CS FULLERTON
