Taking SOUTH FLORIDA. Now. I don't have the Bulls high in conference play. And I think Elon will be a top tier CAA team. But I call me a sucker. I don't care. I will take these points. I think SoFla has a shot at an outright win here. Maybe my notes are totally off and we lose by 18. But I see a close game, easily withing a couple buckets. 4* Money Maker SOUTH FLORIDA 

Taking SETON HALL. Interesting game for sure. Looking at this line move that now has the Hall favored after starting as the dog. I like A&M. They have looked pretty good. But I think the Pirates rate a notch better. This is like a home game for them at MSG. It's their backyard. This is a huge measuring stick for both clubs as they come in 'ranked'.  In the end, I think our inside play is the difference. 4* Money Maker SETON HALL 

Taking NEVADA tonight. Big number. Maybe. This isn't 17-1 Missouri Valley Illinois State though. Mussleman just gets these transfers and reloads and reloads. I'll tell you what. Forget about repeating as Mountain West Champs. These guys should be a Final 8 team at the minimum come March. That is how highly I think of the Wolf Pack. 4* Money Maker NEVADA 

Taking NEW MEXICO. Would have been a tough spot for Evansville in 'The Pit' even before they lost their leading scorer. Now with Taylor and his 21ppg out, things get even rougher. Now. We have a new coach with Weir coming across from New Mexico State. So the talent level isn't top of the Mountain West caliber. As nice as Evansville 5-1 start is, this team was still one of, if not the worse, in the Missouri Valley. Like I said. Taylor out. Now they have 1 guy scoring more than 9ppg. This is a big must win for the Lobos with a visitor down their star player. 4* Money Maker NEW MEXICO 

Taking the PISTONS. Suns in off a b2b. They won last night in Chicago. Suns will be playing their third game in four nights, fourth in six, and fifth in eight. Detroit beat the Celtics on Monday. If this was the game right after that, we wouldn't be on this spot. But rested, and the scheduling spot for Phoenix, we will back the home team. 4* Money Maker DETROIT PISTONS 

Taking the THUNDER. So we get the rested Thunder who have sitting around 3 days waiting for a win. And sitting at 8-11, you know they want to start getting things going in the right direction soon. Magic home off a 6 day road trip, dropping all 4 games and now have a 9 game slide. Road faves aren't really my recipe for success. But I will step out of the comfort zone if I think we have an edge. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA THUNDER 

Taking BOWLING GREEN tonight. Ok. This is a weird game for me. I see this double digit number. So I look at where I have both teams. San Jose. Bottom of the Mountain West. BG, below a middle rung, but not a MAC bottom feeder. Then i see last year, San Jose won at home by 1. And the proverbial 'icing on the cake.' Bowling Green, off a home loss, to Abilene Christian? Count me on the home faves. 4* Money Maker BOWLING GREEN 

Taking GEORGE MASON tonight. So I am not expecting much from either team in their conference play. But Madison, in my eyes, is the worse of the bunch. I guess you can think, hey. Low spread. Bad teams. This is one the home team should get. But I have more faith in Mason. They have played some better opponents. In a battle of uglies, we are on the small road fave. 4* Money Maker GEORGE MASON 

Taking NIAGARA here. So. I do like Buffalo. Think they are right at the top of the MAC. But I am look at some payback from the home team tonight. Revenge on the menu as Bulls won by 10 last year. And they also knocked off the Purple Eagles in 2014. 5 starters back for Niagara. 4* Money Maker NIAGARA 

Taking INDIANA STATE. We opened up our College Hoops sports betting season with one of our first wins on the Sycamores upsetting Indiana. We found another great role for them tonight. Now. Normally hate getting on a team that is getting bet up. But I still think we have value here. Indiana State should win this one by 10. We get them off a bad loss to Ball State. So I expect defense to be really turned up a notch tonight. Also. Air Force? I love and RESPECT all my service schools. But they don't have any edge match-ups in this contest. 4* Money Maker INDIANA STATE 

Taking LOY-CHI tonight. Nearly went +160 ML here. That is how highly I think of the Ramblers. Look. I love me some Missouri State to win the MVC, but these guys. Let's just say I will be heavy on them come conference tournament time. Boise is no slouch. I don't they win the Mountain West, but they should get 20 wins. 4* Money Maker LOYOLA CHICAGO

Taking MISSOURI STATE. You know we are on the Missouri Valley tonight. These guys are my choice to win the conference. Not a fan of Colorado State. They will win some games, but I don't think that is in the cards for tonight. They are 3-3 on the year. Just ended a 3 game losing streak beating Northwestern State. Their losses to teams with the same kind of talent I see in Missouri State. Now for a travel update on Colorado State. So they left Fort Collins to head to Montego Bay Jamaica. So that flight is through Kansas City then FT Lauderdale. After losses to Tulane 80-53 and Florida State 90-73, the fun starts. International flight into Houston. Then quick jet over to San Antonio to El Paso. Where, they get on a bus for 50 minutes to play New Mexico State in Las Cruces (89-76 loser). As I said earlier, they then beat Northwestern State at home. Now back on the road to face the Missouri Valley favorites with, Colorado on deck. They haven't shot straight on the road yet. Don't think it improves here. We add in the look ahead and I think the Bears win this one going away. 4* Money Maker MISSOURI STATE 

Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN. Again. Maybe I should be just going +170 ML on these small dogs. I like WMU. I think they have a shot (Buffalo) to be the MAC NCAA reps if things fall into place. They have a great player in Wilder. I look at STL. I know they won't be awful like last year. I see improvement. But this is still a middle tier A10 team. And what I have learned over the years. Mid majors who are thought to be conference champions can play and more importantly win on the road vs average Power 5 teams. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN 

Taking the HEAT. I know Miami is a bad team. But do we really have a lot of faith in the Cavs in a back to back? They wheeled out the 'A' Game for the Sixers who everyone is in love with and their young core of players. Now we expect 30 minutes from LeBron against the Heat? When facing the Cavs, like the Warriors, teams will always go 100% when battling a Champ. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HEAT

Taking SAN JOSE tonight. Can't have any faith in the Flyers. A brutal loss in OT last night in a game they are up 3-1 heading into the 3rd period. Winless in 8 straight and 9 of 10. Not the ideal spot for the Sharks. This is San Jose's first time on the East Coast since the end of October! But. We are a 4-0 on the 25th so we have a couple days off heading into this. 4* Money Maker SAN JOSE SHARKS

Taking XAVIER tonight. College hoops does not disappoint as we get another marquee game early on. Gotta love these early tournaments, and when teams don't schedule cupcakes to pad wins to their records. So I like X. I do think Baylor is a tourney team. Just not 100% sold on them at this points. Undefeated? Yes. But Alcorn State, Texas A&M CC and Central Arkansas are tune ups. They did hang on to beat Wiscy by 5. A Badgers team who I saw put up 37 points tonight as lose to Virginia. And they battled back to beat Creighton. Again. 2 nice early wins. Now they catch the X off a terrible upset loss to Arizona State in Las Vegas Invitational. Up 2 at half when ASU trucks them for 58 2nd half points to cruise 102-86. I think off that loss, a huge home crowd of support, X should pull away for a 10pt win. 4* Money Maker XAVIER 

Taking OAKLAND here. Big number to lay on the road. But the Grizzlies are the class of the Horizon. They are looking to rebound from a conference tournament showing last year. They are 2-3 out of the gate having dropped 3 straight away from home. They lost to 13 to Toledo after a 5 minute cold spelled doomed them to a 14 halftime hole they would not recover from not making a run.  A 24pt loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome. And finally getting run out of the building by Kansas to the tune of 102-59. Some of that bad play. But I think that getting Jalen Hayes backs helps a ton. Oral Roberts is a bottom rung Summit team. Last year, Oakland won 92-64. I think this a great spot for them to take out some frustration and get a big win before heading home. They need some momentum and I think this is a great team for them to feast on. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND 

Taking MONTREAL. Line looks a bit light here so we will be on Canadiens. 15 win Columbus small fave or pk over 9 win team. Blue Jackets have reeled off 6 straight. But, they are home tomorrow. So maybe this is a flat spot in a stand-alone road game. 4* Money Maker MONTREAL CANADIENS 

Taking CORNELL tonight. Ok everyone. Sorry not many write ups over the tournaments Thanksgiving Week. With all the football, plus many lines coming up mid-morning, it is difficult to post some sentences when I am going over 100 games. . So for tonight, a little winner from the Ivy. Now, both these teams I have pegged for the lower rungs of their conferences. But Big Red has a JR G in Matty Morgan who does pretty well for them. The entire team struggled vs Syracuse, but in his other 4 games. 23-24-25-26 points. Also, Cornell now playing their 6th game, while Duquesne just their 4th. They have a brand new coach. And as much success as Dambrot had at Akron, this Dukes team was 10-22 last year. Again, Big Red not any better at 8-21. But catching points, and with players familiar with a system, I won't be shocked if we score an outright win tonight. 4* Money Maker CORNELL

Taking the RAMS. LA home after taking an ugly loss vs the Vikings. But make no mistake. Minny defense at home is 100 times tougher than a Saints unit, on the road to boot. Saints had to come all the back with some OT to score a win over the Redskins. Again, Washington defense a notch below who the Rams trot out. Finally. New Orleans outside, no turf. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS

Taking BUFFALO here. So. We had the Giants ML last week over KC. We bucked all the Andy Reid off bye trends. So what has changed? How are they a double digit favorite? These guys have stunk up the place since their fast start. Now, a little turmoil with the Bills. They bench Taylor. Backup tosses 5 INTs in a half. But we get Tyrod today. I think he will want to really stick it to his coach. He is looking for a payday after the season. KC defense not threatening at all in my eyes. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the DOLPHINS here. Uh. Man. These guys again. We had them for what ,5 straight weeks. Up and down. Nearly impossible to get in front of the Pats and Brady train. But this is a lot of points. NE home after spending 2 weeks away. They stayed in Denver to prep for the Mexico atmosphere. So this is a welcome home for them. Schedule makers have these guys meeting up in 2 weeks on a Monday night. I think we see Pats go through motions. While Moore could get nod for Miami and would want to prove he can QB in the NFL. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking the BENGALS. I know that I shouldn't be laying this number with Cincy as they are a team I really can't get a grasp on. But they have some guys on offense who can actually score some TDs for us. Browns 1-8 ATS last 9 games. How about 1-25 SU under Hue Jackson! 4-43 SU last 47. Holy Cow. My 11 year old has better numbers in Madden. Bengals a perfect 6-0 ATS last 6 in the series. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS 

Taking the PANTHERS. I know the Jets are nice feel good story. We cashed them and have faded them. But I think a little reality sets in as the season goes on. First. Carolina is a playoff team. They seem to peaking. Jets were said to be an 0-16 team, though I was thinking they would win about 4-5 games. So here we are. As much blood Bowles has been getting out of this rock, the law of averages can, and will catch up to the Jets. They just aren't that talented. 4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS 

Taking the BEARS. Big number. Gotta grab it. So, we cashed Chicago a few times already this year (Falcons, Steelers). They have beaten the Ravens, Steelers and Panthers who are a combined 20-10. The lost by a FG to Minny. Hung tough with the Saints. Covered vs the Falcons. Their 2 bad road losses. At Tampa, 2 INTs by Glennon, also 2 fumbles. At GB v Rodgers 2 INTs by Glennon, 2 more fumbles. A much improved product with the rookie behind center. And the defense is a solid bunch. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS

Taking WASHINGTON STATE in the Apple Cup. Have this +320 ML on other sites. I'll be the first to say I think they are trying to sucker us into this line. I mean, 2 teams, nearly 'ranked' the same. And one is laying double digits. What I really like for us in that we are coming in off a bye week. Extra time to prep for hated in-state rival? What's not to like? Washington has won 4 straight in this series. But I think we get our revenge tonight. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON STATE 

Taking NOTRE DAME tonight. Now. Don't think there is any chance that ND gets back into the playoff picture. But 10-2 will get them a big bowl even if 9-3 with Irish pasted across their clothes probably does also. But I think the coach needs a win either way. They were pasted by Miami. I think they need to need to take care of Stanford by about 20. Stanford losses all on the road this year. But I didn't think this was a vintage Tree team to begin with anyway. Love should suit up at RB. At this time of year, everyone is banged up. That being said, I think the Irish win this one going away. 4* Money Maker NOTRE DAME

Taking AUBURN and going ML. I see 4.5, and even a 5 pop up. But I think the Tigers pull off the upset. What is there to say about Bama. We cashed them a few times this year. That being said, I thought the Tigers were the only team that would have the shot at knocking them off. And that's that. I know Auburn has 2 losses. But beating unbeaten Tide, and knocking them out of the Playoffs will erase those losses and thrust them into Playoff conversation. Iron Bowl 10* MONEY BOMB on the AUBURN TIGERS 

Taking NEVADA today. 2-9 team favored over 5-6 team looking to even record and get to bowl. Sign me up! 4* Money Maker NEVADA

4* Money Maker FAIRFIELD

4* Money Maker TENN TECH

Taking BOSTON COLLEGE. BC read hot with the number 7-0-1 ATS last 8 and are now small faves over the Orange. Syracuse throttled their last 2 giving up 43 and 56 in those losses. Not sure where the motivation is as they sit at 4-6. BC looking to get to 7 wins which guarantees them a winning record regardless of bowl outcome. Syracuse has won the last 2 years in the series, so I think BC gets their revenge. 5* Best Bet BOSTON COLLEGE 

Taking OHIO STATE early today. So. Somehow, people in Columbus think that the Buckeyes can still get into the Playoffs. Not really sure how that happens. But rest assured OSU has the offense to cover this number vs Michigan. I know the Wolverines bring a defense every week. And taking a double digit home dog with the better defense is normally a recipe for success. But I can't back this Michigan team. The offense is just terrible. Last game on the road OSU was ripped 55-24 by Iowa. No way in God's green Earth does Meyer have these guys unfocused or prepared this afternoon. Especially against Harbaugh. Since that Iowa loss, 102-17 Buckeyes. Michigan might be within 10 at half. But I expect OSU to pull away and cover this fairly easily. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE 

4* Money Maker IDAHO

Taking CAL tonight. Points are great, but find that +230 ML and get down on that also. Bears looking to lock up a bowl bid with a 6th win. I"m looking at UCLA to mail it in as they dumped Mora. I know that the Bruins also sit at 5-6. But come on. The faster the season ends, the faster they get on with their coaching hunt. 4* Money Maker CAL BEARS 

Taking TEXAS here. Just see 2 programs going in completely opposite directions. Wheels spinning for Texas Tech. Kingsbury should be on the hot seat for coaches as far as I am concerned. No such problems like that in Texas. New guy has this team believing. A win here clinches their first winning season since 2013. I'll tell you what. This Longhorns team has suffered for a few years. I think they win this one going away. And whatever bowl they end up, they will win that game also. 8* Sure Shot TEXAS LONGHORNS 

4* Money Maker DETROIT PISTONS 

Taking VIRGINIA here. Nearly went ML +220 in this spot. We cashed with them as big dogs last week at Miami. This is a pretty decent team we have as home pups. VT has won 13 straight in the series. 52-10 last year. But I think we are in position to not only cover, but get some revenge. If we take out the 10 TDs that VT QB has thrown vs Old Dom , ECU and Delaware, he has thrown 7 in ACC games. And 2 of those games he had ZERO TD passes. I think Cavs can pull this out. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA

Taking NEBRASKA here. I figure this. Forget the points. Look. Cornhuskers probably looking for a new HC as I type this. But I think the coach can work a little magic here. The old, this is your final home game of the year. It's been a tough year. Let's show the fans who we are type crap. Iowa has scored 20 points TWICE their last 8 games. That beating of Ohio State and over Illinois. Again. This is me thinking Riley can whip up a games worth of support from his players and at least send the seniors out with a win in their final game in Lincoln. 4* Money Maker NEBRASKA

Taking SAN DIEGO STATE. Have you seen New Mexico losing by 41,39,38 their last 3 on the road. 6 straight losses for the Lobos.  Aztecs looking for their 10th win. That is a big number. They should run right over this team and name their number. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO STATE 

Alright everyone.. A lot of games unlined early. So I will post most likely after 12 with all other college hoops 

Taking RUTGERS here though. These guys might be a bottom Big 10 team, but they are improving enough under Pikiell that they should take care of ECU. Now, these guys are a bottom AAC team. They are in for a long year. Not that I like to use Team A beat Team C&D by this many and Team B did this to those teams. But- Rutgers thrashed Cleveland State 70-38 and beat CCSU 71-67. While ECU beat Cleveland State 72-69, while losing to CCSU 79-68. 4* Money Maker RUTGERS

Taking BUFFALO. So, as I write this on Tuesday, we have Akron laying the number to wrap up their spot in the MAC Championship Game. Now. If they fail to deliver on that, well then Ohio can jump them and secure that spot. But I don't see a 2 TD fave getting upset at home. So. We go home dog Bulls looking to get bowl eligible. Home team 6-1 ATS last 7 in the series. And if everything holds form on Tuesday night, Ohio should be absolutely flat as a win isn't getting them a better bowl. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO 

4* Money Maker ARKANSAS STATE

Taking IRVINE. I like this group. Think they have a shot at winning the Big West. On the other side of the coin is Rider. I have them pegged for a bottom team in the MAAC. Toss out the records. Irvine lost to a pair of legit NCAA tourney teams in Arizona State and Kansas State. While Rider's lone loss was to Xavier. Just think this a nice match-up for the Anteaters. 4* Money Maker CAL IRVINE

Taking the COWBOYS here. What a set up for us today. Are you kidding me. Down to a pk right now. Holy cow. Nothing like people betting on what they just saw. And what better for Chargers backers then seeing 54 points put up and Dallas getting crushed at home allowing 30 points in the 2nd half to Philly. Look. I like the Chargers. We have cashed with them a few times. Dallas looking lost with no Zeke the last 2 weeks. I have never liked Garrett. You can go through my write ups over the years about how he is a terrible coach. But this team is still pretty talented. As I write this, no word if Lee is suiting up for us. He is a huge key to the Boys defense. But again. It is about perception. Is LAC as good as what we saw, and is Dallas as bad? I don't think so. Thanksgiving short week. You damn well know the Cowboys will want to show the NFL World they are still 'America's Team' and going to make the playoffs. 10* Money Bomb DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking ST JOHNS here. I have to say. I am a Redmen fan. Or The Johnies. Or Red Storm. Whatever you call. What I like about this years bunch is the gamble. They aren't afraid to step in lanes and force things. They are averaging nearly 10 steals a game so far this year. They can generate some easy buckets off turnovers. Not the earliest of starts at 2pm, but still early by Oregon State standards. I think teams are pretty even when it comes to what to expect on the entire season. But I think SJ rates the better value today with their depth and defense. 4* Money Maker ST JOHNS 

Taking the VIKINGS here. Had them Sunday, and even though this a short week, will go back to the well. Case is having a nice little year. Leave the guy in there. 8-2 and the defense is doing there thing. I like Zimmerman as an edge on the sidelines. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking LONG BEACH STATE. These guys always run off a non-conference schedule that is a who's who if college basketball. At the least, it is loaded with Power 5 schools on the road. We know that LBST sometimes gets mauled and limps into Big West play with 3-11 records. So off a 29pt loss to West Va, and an 8pt loss at Oregon State, LBST players aren't in a doom and gloom mindset. But in this spot, not only do I like the points, but I might do some ML +575. Everyone knows Missouri just lost their star player for the entire year. It is one thing playing thinking he will be back. I thought that Porter was good enough to get the Tigers to the NCAA tournament. I mean, I think they are a bubble team without him. They lost by 18 to Utah, and then eked out a 67-62 win over Emporia State in a game that was tied 28 at the half. 4* Money Maker LONG BEACH STATE 

Taking the DUCKS and going for the big money on the PL. We can lay the 150, but you know that is really towards the top of to where I play any of my ML faves. So I will fade Vegas on the road. Yeah, we have made some coin with them at times this season. 8-1 at home is huge and we cashed them once on the road. But I think having a back-up to the back-up in goal will eventually sink this team. It was a nice feel good start to the season, but there will be regression. People forge these guys were pegged to finish last in the Pacific. They are sitting 2nd right now. I think it is time we really hit these PLs to build some bankroll heading into 2018. 4* PL Money DUCKS

Taking AKRON here. Yep. Laying the big number. But a win here, and the Zips lock up a spot in the MAC Championship Game. Kent has lost 4 straight. In those games, they have given up 42-48-44-48. They have 1 win in MAC play. 0-6 on the road. In the 2 games they 'covered' they lost 24-3 getting 23 and 42-3 getting 42. So, safe to say this should be a 20pt win for a game that means everything the home team and the visitor just wants to get to mom's house for Thanksgiving dinner. 5* Best Bet AKRON ZIPS

Taking the SPURS. Big number yes, but SA is pretty rested having last played Friday. Hawks just played a pair of games at home, now are in San Antonio, then head home again for a couple games. Hello NBA schedule makers! Why! Well I think they want us to get a nice big home fave in a blowout win, that's what I think. Nothing fancy with New Orleans and Charlotte up next for the Spurs. So they won't be getting ready for the a sexy Warriors or Celtics or Cavs or whoever you want to put in that class. 4* Money Maker SA SPURS 

Taking the FALCONS. I'll tell ya what, I was thinking Seattle all week -3. But now I see this line dropping. And the more I think about how much I do like Russell Wilson, this defense for Seattle is brutal. The still have a bad OL and an even worse running back situation. At least when we look across the field, we see some offensive skill position players. Now. Getting Sark to get the offense going is an obvious problem. And to be honest, I think that Atlanta has a bit of a better defense even with the '12th Man' reigning down on Matt Ryan and company. And make no mistake. I think last year was the outlier in Ryan's career. I think he isn't a 38-7 TD/INT guy. But more to the averages he put up between 2010-15 where he was around 26-14 kind of passer. That being said. I think they win this one. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

Taking CREIGHTON today. The old, unranked favored over a 'ranked' team. This is nearly always an auto play for me. In hoops or college football. Don't let some number make you think a team is better than what it is. And lets not forget all the stupid turmoil around UCLA off their China trip. Give me the better coached team every time. 4* Money Maker CREIGHTON 

Give me OAKLAND and the points. Almost want to go big ML play here. Not a fan of Syracuse. But I like my mid-major Grizzlies. Top dogs in the Horizon, should be able to hang with Orange. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND 

Taking SOUTH DAKOTA STATE. Give me some Mike Daum. Kid is a beast. These guys should win the Summit. Wyoming will take a bunch of 3s like the Jackrabbits. But the difference is Daum for me. 4* Money Maker SOUTH DAKOTA STATE 

Taking MARQUETTE. Short line in Maui. VCU with new coach, albeit an old assistant. But this Marquette team can score. Might be a dark-horse in this tourney if their shooters really get hot. 4* Money Maker MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES 

Taking GEORGIA SOUTHERN. I think these guys can be a sleeper in the Sun Belt. Returning starters, good depth. Now. I do like Missouri State. I think they win the MVC. And I hate when I have to choose between a pair of mid-majors I enjoy backing in early hoops. But we will be on the Eagles this afternoon. 4* Money Maker GEORGIA SOUTHERN 

Taking MANHATTAN early today. I think these are 2nd best in the MAAC behind Iona. They have a nice little cast of players. Not high at all on bottom-tier Roos of the WAC. 4* Money Maker MANHATTAN 

Taking the EAGLES tonight. Ugh. Waited a bit instead of loading up early and we lose at least a point, maybe a point and half. Even with Elliot, I was leaning towards Philly. But after seeing the OL and problems last week, this is going to be a tough home game for the 'Boys. So. Birds with the week off. As I have said numerous times over the years, Garrett is a terrible coach. You see now, even with Dak, what Romo had to go through for all those years. Talent is great. Having guys around you is great. But if your defense doesn't help the cause, more often than not you will on the losing side of games. And, it hasn't happened much yet as Dak has wheels. But he will start throwing bad balls that will be picked. Lee is again banged up for Dallas. When that guy is healthy and playing, he totally lifts the entire defense. Eagles just look very good and out of their bye, we have to back the square play here. Thankfully, the Cowboys have a big public following, so instead of laying an even bigger number, we have a bit of an added edge. Philly by 10. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking the RAIDERS this afternoon. Nearly went the +270 on the ML here. Raiders desperate for a win. NE now with 12 straight road wins after crushing Denver. They stayed at AF to practice in the thin air. Raiders won here beating Texans so they are a bit more familiar with things. This is it for the Silver and Black. At 4-5, off their bye week. Circle the wagons and save your season time. Not a lot of faith in their HC so we will grab the points as opposed to going all in on ML. 4* Money Maker RAIDERS

Taking the GIANTS here and going +360 on the ML. You can grab 10.5/ 11. I am looking for the bigger payday. Now. I think that NYG are absolute trash. What can you possibly say positive about them? What a performance at SF! I see reports a player sent a text saying we hate the coach. Watch. Then after the game, another one. Told you so. Geez. I am no fan of Ben McAdoo, or McAdoo-Doo as I like to call him. But the last time the nails were in the Giants coffin, I, along with probably a lot of other people were stabbed to death with their win at Denver. I'm not going lie. I get it. Andy Reid off byes (16-2 SU). Nearly unbeatable. Alex Smith, 1 INT on the year. I'm sure Andy Reid has no love lost for the Giants organization after being with the Eagles. So he will want to show no mercy. But again. I have to think. These guys are pros. This is NY. Do they really want to be an absolute joke on the season? I know Eli has the dumb look on his face, and McAdoo-doo is in over his head. But knocking off a pretty good KC team will at least make for a happy Thanksgiving dinner. I haven't read or heard a person NOT on the Chiefs. We will also be on the over just as a little hedge if NY has a complete no-show and we get another performance like the one they gave the fans vs the Rams. 4* Money Maker NY GIANTS
