Taking WASHINGTON STATE here. I think this is going to be a high scoring, back and forth affair. I think this will be a close one with State in position to win outright if things break right. I can't knock Washington in any aspect. They are a good club. But I think the home dogs are a live bunch and have a pretty decent offense that will keep them in this thing. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON STATE 

Taking TEXAS here. It is easy to think TCU gets the win with their secure HC on the sideline. We have been talking about Charlie Strong getting the boot for 2 years now. Man. I do like this guy. Did a good job at UL. But after we cashed opening day with Texas beating ND, it has been a nightmare. Well, I think his players really like him for one. What better way to screw with the boosters than to get to be bowl eligible. Also. This TCU defense is really bad. Longhorns can move the ball. That hasn't been their problem. A little double revenge angle is the whipped cream angle on why Texas should be big winners this afternoon. 10* Money Bomb TEXAS LONGHORNS

Going OVER the total here. No Luck. I get it. But I think Big Ben will shred this defense like he always has, short week or not. Steelers are good for close to 40 themselves. I can't see a bad Pitt defense pitching a shut out, even against a back-up QB. But the short week could provide some ugly play and good scoring opportunities. And let's be honest here. Steelers just beat the Browns. Do we really think they went 'all-out' to beat that bunch? I think we see the full offensive display from Big Ben and friends here in a nice comfy dome setting. 4* Total Money OVER Pitt/Colts 

Taking LSU here. Lost with these guys last week and will come right back here again. Look. It is tough taking them off a loss like that. I mean, out yard a team 423-270 and come up literally, inches short on 4th down as time expires with you having the ball knocked out of your RBs hand trying to cross the goal line. Ouch. But LSU is in a better spot than A&M. Most likely, both of these coaches are shown the door at season end. I said last week that Orgeron has won when given the chance. I think the players like and play for hard for him. Sumlin is in the midst of collapse after going 6-0 and creeping into the Playoff Top 4. The Tigers defense has yet to give up more than 21 points in a game this year and the Aggies QB is still new enough where LSU should be able to take advantage. 4* Money Maker LSU TIGERS

Taking the COWBOYS and the OVER here. It is tough to lay this when the numbers say Dallas doesn't cover at home. But this is a different Cowboys teams as they are now on a 9-1 ATS/SU run. Dak and Elliot behind this line have been nothing short of brilliant. I would really have no issue with taking the Redskins here. I think Cousins leads a pretty good offense and the defense is no slouch either. But we just cashed them rolling the Packers. Now it is a short week vs a real physical, grinding team. I just think Dallas really pulls away in the 2nd half behind their OL. But I do think we see points here from both teams. I'm think something along the lines of 37-27 type range. 5* Best Bet DALLAS COWBOYS + Over

Taking the VIKINGS here. I should probably have my head examined here taking Minny. They really left it all on the field against Arizona and are traveling on a short week. For first place in the NFC North too boot! But can you really have confidence in Detroit? They have trailed in the 4th quarter of EVERY game this year. Lions have basically abandoned the run game of late. 14 yards vs Jax on 21 carries and 14 for 58 vs the Texans in 2 of their last 3 games. So you are telling Zimmer that he can have his defense really focus on stopping Stafford. Sign me up for that. Add in a little revenge for a home loss 3 weeks ago and I can't refuse the points. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS

 Taking the RAIDERS here. Just the better team and not laying a ton. Game in Mexico. The Raiders and Dallas, probably the 2 biggest surprises on the year. Carr is really maturing into a top QB. 17 TDs and just 3 INTs, while the big contract Osweiler signed doesn't look that good in year 1, 11TDs 9INTs. The OL has been very good. Texans defense nothing like when it has Watt coming after you. Raiders in off a bye week and have had success vs Osweiler when he played in Denver. So the added tape will only help. When is the last time the Texans played good on the road vs a team with a winning record? They haven't. I know the Raiders are young and the defense doesn't scare. But this is a talented group that is finding direction under Del Rio this year. 8* Sure Shot OAKLAND RAIDERS

Taking the REDSKINS here. Have to grab my boys here in revenge mode. I lost with these guys last year in the playoffs and I expect some payback here on Sunday night. Fact is, Green Bay is 9-12 their last 21 games. If you think Aaron Rodgers has been anything but average the last calendar year, you are sadly mistaken. No way the Packers lose 4 straight right? I thought the Redskins were getting zero respect from odds-makers to win the NFC East with a pair of rookie QBs leading the Eagles and Dallas. This is a good team that plays well within its mean under their coach. Pack with injuries concerns on both sides of the ball. Josh Norman has been a boost to the Washington secondary. Kerrigan and Murphy have 7 sacks apiece for the 'Skins and A-A-Ron has been put on his back 22 times so far. 10* Money Bomb WASHINGTON REDSKINS

Taking the EAGLES here. One of those spots and in my head I hear the masses.. No way the Seahawks don't win by a TD at home! They just beat the Brady and the Pats in New England. Carson Wentz? Pfft! Seattle back cross-country back and forth off a goal line stance Sunday night win. On the heels of a short week Monday night win. On top of a a crazy game on the road vs the Saints. Eagles bring a decent to town and this looks like a let-down, or at least a FG game. Philly is 1-4 on the road but all losses by a TD or less. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Taking the DOLPHINS here. Tough in a b2b road spot, but you can't back the Rams here. I can say I would have liked Miami +1, but I was thinking they win outright anyway. Jeff Fisher is just not getting it done. I mean, why are we waiting till now to trot out their QB of the future? Maybe because the coach is terrible and the QB had been terrible in pre-season. Dolphins have been money for us since we cashed them as a top play home dog over the Steelers. The OL is really the difference for me and has opened things up for their offense. 5* Best Bet MIAMI DOLPHINS

Taking the RAVENS here. I am waiting for the Jason Garrett clunker. 'Boys having a special year with a pair of rookies leading the way. Tony Romo is now the highest paid cheerleader in the NFL. But Dak has been nothing short of brilliant. So we have Dallas off that wild win against Pitt last week. Now they face Baltimore who brings a pretty solid run defense to Jerry's World. Ravens have some extra rest after destroying the Browns on Thursday night. This could finally be the let-down spot with the Redskins on deck for a Thanksgiving showdown. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS

Taking the JAGUARS here. I said on my podcast that the Gus Bradley era is over and it looks like Jax is mailing it in. But I look at this line and say to myself. How many people are saying 'no way the Lions don't win by touchdown this week!' I can see eliminator pools dwindling by the thousands come 4pm Sunday. Lions out of their bye, are now in first place in the NFC North. They also have a big Thursday Turkey-day showdown against the Vikings ahead. The Jags actually have the statistically better offenses and defenses in this match-up. Tossing out the Lions 6pt OT win over Minny, their other 4 wins have been a combined 11 points! And they are asked to lay nearly full TD here? How many times have we seen Bortles put up points when his team is down. The back door is wide open here. 5* Best Bet JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Taking VANDERBILT here. I had higher hopes for Vandy this year. I think their coach might get shown the door after the season. I do like them in this home spot though. They have a tough finale against the Vols next, but this game is winnable to me. I know the offense is bad, but the defense, especially home, has proven to be a good unit. Now we get a freshman QB making his 2nd start, on the road to boot, laying double digits? 'Dores on a 7-2 ATS run as double digit dogs! They have been in every game this year with the except Ga.

Taking UTAH here. What is there to say about Oregon? They have quit on the coach. How else to explain being down 21 nothing at home in 10 minutes to a team that had scored more than 27 points just once all year! Ducks HC Helfrich has done a crap job or recruiting and a terrific job of running the program into the ground. I am sure Nike is extremely pleased! 1-7 SU, 2-9 ATS. Allowing 49ppg last 7. Utes can pick the score. As long as they play for 3 quarters should be a 20+ lead most of the game. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES 

Taking CHARLOTTE here. 73-14. That was how Mid Ten St demolished these guys last year. Safe to say that probably leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Plus Charlotte licking their wounds from blowing a 21-0 lead last week only to lose 22-21! Are you kidding me? Blue Raiders minus their starting QB and his 27-5 TD /INT ratio and have turned the reigns over to John Urzua who has thrown 5 INTs in 1 and a half games. 4* Money Maker CHARLOTTE 49ers

Taking LSU here. Crazy when you have a first place team catching 2 TDs on the road. But for me, who have the Gators played? They have beaten 1 FBS team that has a winning record. (Georgia). They have lost 2 of their 4 road games, Vols and Arkansas who are not as good as LSU, and beat Vandy and Georgia. Tigers a different team since the coaching change. I like Ed Orgeron. The guy can coach. I think people forget he went 6-2 taking over USC when the fired Kiffen. And he is 4-1 here at LSU. He lost 14-10 at ND, to a ranked UCLA team, and now to Alabama. Give the guy a HC job already. Tigers have owned this series and I think with their punishing run game, and the mounting injuries for Florida, their smoke and mirrors run to the SEC Championship Game comes to a close this afternoon. 4* Money Maker LSU TIGERS

Taking the ILLINI here. Uh. Lovie Smith has a total mess on his hands, but at least we should get our QB back for this one. Lunt behind center. Homecoming final home game. Big home dog. Opposing team off huge upset. Opposing team offense ranked 120th. What isn't there to like? Iowa in off a game, where, they literally left it all on the field beating undefeated Michigan 14-13 on a game ending FG. Beside tossing the Wolverines out of the playoff Top 4, they got bowl eligible themselves! This is just a lot of points to lay vs a desperate team like Illinois who is looking for anything to motivate moving forward. 4* Money Maker ILLINOIS

Taking TCU here. Oh, another flat-out gem to unload on. The old ranked team getting points from an unranked team. How many people are saying.. Okie State is ranked getting points and beat them 49-29 last year. Easy Money! - As our buddy Lee Corso says. Not so fast my friend. Sign me up for some Gary Peterson bye-week magic. This is far from a vintage Horned Frogs unit. But they had no probably crushing Baylor 62-22 on the road 2 weeks ago. And with extra prep time, I am sure the coach has refreshed the memories of last year. On the road, undefeated and ranked #5 in the land, only to have their season blow-up in their faces. Payback is in order as they snuff out any flicker of hope that the Cowboys had at running the table and somehow climbing the playoff rankings. 5* Best Bet TCU 

Taking KANSAS STATE here. As close to a 'no-brainer' out there as I can get. First, we have such a huge edge in coaching this really should be a 10-20 pt win for us. Just look at Baylor. They road their negative press to a fast 6-0 start beating cupcakes and have now lost 3 straight. The last 2 by a combined 61 points. Where is the motivation for the Bears? Lost their QB.  Their coach is not going to be here at the end of the year. Assistants probably working on resumes. Lame duck staff with no major bowl pending. And then we have Bill Snyder a perfect 8-0 ATS last 8 out of byes. Need a win for bowl eligibility. 10* Money-Bomb KANSAS STATE
