10-18-16	Cubs -113 v. Dodgers		0-6	Loss	-113	10 h 54 m	Show
Taking the CUBS here. I am going to be honest. Part of me wants to take LA here. Chicago is really getting little production from the middle of their lineup. But at this price, I can't back Hill. Just not enough value there. Arrieta had another solid year, but it failed up to last years epic season. Again. This time of year I am looking for value with starters. And this a great price for one of the best in the game. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO CUBS

10-18-16	Indians +111 v. Blue Jays		1-5	Loss	-100	6 h 49 m	Show
Taking the INDIANS here. Had them last night, will grab them again to close things out. Not really much we can say here. Cleveland is just in that zone right now. Kluber is a nice solid arm to give us much needed innings today. But Tito worked the bullpen well yesterday and let's be honest here. If this is a close game in the 8th, they 'pen will step up. Just feel as if all the energy is out of the Jays here. A dog with an ace on the hill up 3-0? Sign me up. I should really be upping or wagering here since teams rarely come back from 3-0 holes. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS
10-17-16	Jets v. Cardinals -7.5		3-28	Win	102	21 h 47 m	Show
Taking ARIZONA here. Have to go with the guys with extra rest. They get their QB back. He will be facing a Jets team coming off the physical Steelers which softens them up even more. Look. Jets had a tough schedule to start the year. They really let the Cincy and even Seattle games slip away from them. KC got plenty of turnovers and made it look easy. Fact is this offense though has not looked in sync. Forte is good in the backfield, but that doesn't help when you start to fall behind. Now Arizona was suppose to be a legit Super Bowl contender. They have already matched last years loss total. We saw them destroy Tampa 40-7 back in Week 2, and I expect to see something like that here on Monday night. If you listen to my Thursday podcasts, you know that I like to lay 7.5 and 3.5. But it has to open here which it did. When we see 2.5 and 6.5, how many times do we hear no way so and so does win by a touchdown or FG. In this spot, they are begging you to grab that hook. Don't do it. If I didn't go 3-3 (cashed Top 10* KC) yesterday I would probably up the rating here. But even going 11-4 L15 in the NFL, we are always watching our bankroll. Take that favorite and watch a double digit win coast on in. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA CARDINALS.
10-17-16	Indians +178 v. Blue Jays		4-2	Win	178	20 h 16 m	Show
Taking the INDIANS here. Tough to not take a team that hasn't lost this postseason and getting this kind of number. We know we own the late innings. Stroman has pedestrian at best numbers at home with a 4.59 ERA. Bauer has a 3.67 road ERA this year. I'll take a shot with the big dogs. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS
10-17-16	Sharks v. Rangers -105		4-7	Win	100	20 h 44 m	Show
Taking the RANGERS here. Nearly went PL here for +250, but need to get back in the win column. Always the truth with me people. 3-7 is not how I wanted to start off on the ice. Last 2 years have been solid showing a profit of over +3000. But with 2 Shoot-Out losses, an OT loss, and a PL non cover, I need to just get a win back under our belts. Rangers 5-2 here at home last 7 the series. Sharks were fantastic on the road last year leading the league in wins but it's a new season. I think New York gets this one 3-1. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK RANGERS
10-16-16	Ducks +109 v. Islanders		2-3	Loss	-100	4 h 39 m	Show
4* Money Maker ANAHEIM DUCKS
10-16-16	Falcons v. Seahawks -5.5	Top	24-26	Loss	-115	74 h 57 m	Show
Taking SEATTLE here. Am I missing something? Are they starting some QB from the street here? Will they be playing with a secondary? I really can't believe this line is so low. Maybe it is just because I think the Falcons are going to get destroyed here. Look. You know that I am not a huge backer or lover of Seattle. But in this spot, I am all in. We get the Falcons off a road win in Mile High over the defending Super Bowl Champs. That was on the heels of them knocking off the reigning NFC Champs, their own division winners, the Carolina Panthers. Now they face another physical defense coming off a bye week. Sign me up please! This is a long haul for Atlanta. To Denver, back home and now out west again to Seattle. 8* Sure Sure SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
10-16-16	Chiefs +1 v. Raiders	Top	26-10	Win	100	112 h 14 m	Show
Taking the CHIEFS here. Absolute no-brainer for me. We get Andy Reid off a bye week. The guy is nothing but a winner in his career with rest to the tune of 15-2 SU. Add in some added motivation after being trucked on national TV and KC will be extremely focused here. Raiders 4-1 but could easily be 1-4 the way their games end. 10* Money Bomb KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
10-16-16	Ravens +3 v. Giants		23-27	Loss	-100	69 h 1 m	Show
Taking the RAVENS here. This is really a fade of the entire Giants team. I think they are at real disadvantage with the coaching match-up here. Ravens just fired their OC so I expect to see a whole set of new wrinkles in the offense. Things the Giants haven't seen on tape yet. Giants defense sure isn't paying off with a pass rush or forcing TOs yet. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS
10-16-16	49ers +9 v. Bills		16-45	Loss	-114	14 h 24 m	Show
Taking the NINERS here. Yeah man. I'll go ugly. I am no fan of a kneeling Kap. But I am a fan of good value. And something tells me that Chip's guys get it done here. They have a strong run game and when you are getting 9, keeping the others team offense off the field helps. And really. Who the heck is this Bills team to be laying 9 to anyone? We cashed them huge last week. But I get a rested San Fran team off a game they could have won if not for 3 TOs. Buffalo has reeled off 3 straight so this line is a bit inflated. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers
10-16-16	Steelers v. Dolphins +7.5		15-30	Win	100	14 h 17 m	Show
Taking the DOLPHINS here. These guys nearly lost to the Browns and did lose to the Titans. Steelers should win 48-13 right! Look. This is an ugly team to back. I get it. But for me. It is gut check time for them. They either step up, or this season is officially over. Steelers have the Patriots on deck. At worse, we get the back-door here at home. But I am thinking it's a close one with an outright win possible if get some turnovers. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS
10-16-16	Eagles v. Redskins +3	Top	20-27	Win	100	14 h 12 m	Show
Taking the REDSKINS here and will probably scoop up +135 ML too boot. We had the Lions last week. And I will fade again on the rookie in b2b road games. I have been on the 'Skins a few times already. Do we forget these guys made the playoffs last year. This is a pretty good offense even without Reed. The film is out on Wetz and teams will adjust accordingly. I'm calling for a dog outright here. 5* Best Bet WASHINGTON REDSKINS
10-15-16	Ohio State -10.5 v. Wisconsin		30-23	Loss	-109	52 h 35 m	Show
Taking OHIO STATE here. I am still not sold on Wiscy. They cost me when I had LSU. And Michigan. But LSU has since fired their HC and in the next game found an offense. Michigan should have dropped at least 17 more points on the Badgers. In fact, in Wiscy's big 3 games against LSU, Michigan and Michigan State, they have barely cracked the 100 yard mark on the ground. Granted, the defense has been there. But the Buckeyes will be looking to make a statement, especially since they are the late game and could possibly be looking at a the #1 spot if Alabama falls earlier in the day. Alex Hornibrook was 9-25 for 88 yards and 3 INTs vs Michigan. I am sure Urban Meyer will dial up something special. I think JT Barrett leads a very good offense to an easy 3 score win tonight. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE
10-15-16	Dodgers +180 v. Cubs		4-8	Loss	-100	10 h 18 m	Show
4* Money Maker LOS ANGELS DODGERS
10-15-16	Canadiens -112 v. Senators		3-4	Loss	-112	9 h 26 m	Show
4* Money Maker MONTREAL CANADIENS
10-15-16	Ducks +130 v. Penguins		2-3	Loss	-100	9 h 24 m	Show
4* Money Maker ANAHEIM DUCKS
10-15-16	Blue Jays -126 v. Indians		1-2	Loss	-126	6 h 18 m	Show
4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS
10-15-16	Alabama -12 v. Tennessee		49-10	Win	100	47 h 6 m	Show
Taking ALABAMA here. I just think that this Tennessee run is out of gas. Yes, they are in off a loss. But 3 straight gut wrenching games. 3 straight come from behinds. 3 straight leave it all on the field. Hey. If the Vols won last week by 10 or lost by 10, I would think they would be a play here. But their tanks have to be half full here. The Bama rush attack is going to wear down this team and they will grind to one of those 15-20pt wins. And let's not forget that as good as the Vols' Dobbs is at QB, the guy has thrown 8 INTs already. If he tries forcing it against this team, holy cow. Plus the Vols have fumbled 21 times so far this year. Alabama has 7 defensive TDs this season! I mean, did you see Saban at the end of the game last week. Guy was livid. After winning 49-30! Said he thought he team should have lost. Again. Vols have been involved in some great games lately, but that takes a toll. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE
10-15-16	Western Michigan -11.5 v. Akron		41-0	Win	100	26 h 23 m	Show
Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN here. Now. I have backed the Broncos a couple times already this season and cashed both times as they scored outright wins over Big 10 opponents. You know I am not a fan of laying double digits, but there is nothing on the horizon to worry us. Their next 2 opponents, Eastern Michigan and Ball St, they outscored 112-35 last year. Fleck's bunch is on a 13-3 ATS road run and 23-8 ATS last 31 overall. Zips will have a tough time trying to slow down this passing attack. Akron has some QB problems also. Now, this is a step down to the lower class of the MAC. But we see the Zips 8-21-1 ATS last 40 as home dogs. Yikes. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN
10-15-16	Kansas v. Baylor -34	Top	7-49	Win	100	68 h 37 m	Show
Taking BAYLOR here. Laying 7 TDs is a tough pill to swallow. But, we have a lot of things working in our favor. First, the history. 66-7 last year, 60-14 2014. 59-14 2013. Now, the numbers. 59-46-45. The margin of victory in those games. Next up. Kansas last week left it all on the field. Blowing a 9pt lead with a 90 seconds left is painful. Missing the game winning field as time expired is painful. Missing 3 FGs in the 4th quarter is downright inhumane. Fresh off taking TCU to the bitter end, we know that Jim Grobe will have these guys on their 'A' game. Especially off their bye week. Especially the way they played against Iowa State having to come back from being down 42-28 entering the 4th quarter. So they had a week to think about that. Now they see the Jayhawks aren't going to be quitters as they fought tooth and nail for a win. Bears have another bye week next week before facing Texas. Rest assure. Their sole focus is to come out here with a Baylor classic 64-16 win. 8* Sure Shot BAYLOR BEARS
10-15-16	North Carolina +7.5 v. Miami (Fla)	Top	20-13	Win	100	67 h 8 m	Show
Taking NORTH CAROLINA here. Easy Best Bet winner last week as Virginia Tech beat the 'Heels. Now the whole let down factor was a major reason we were on the Hokies. The piss-poor weather was just an added benefit. No hurricane rain or winds for NC this game. And lookie here. Miami is off a tough loss to that same Florida State foe. Now. Not only does Miami blow a 13-0 lead. But with a chance to tie it up at 20 with a minute and a half left, they pull a page from the FSU playbook and their kicker gets a PAT blocked! The U had that game circled as a we are back type game. Total flat spot for them. North Carolina QB Mitch Trubisky has 13 TDs and just 2 picks and a depressed Hurricanes bunch will find themselves in a fast hole. 10* Money Bomb NORTH CAROLINA
10-15-16	Pittsburgh v. Virginia +3		45-31	Loss	-115	73 h 59 m	Show
Taking VIRGINIA here. I see some ML +150 in spots also that I will sprinkle. We get homecoming underdog, with extra rest and with revenge. Sign me up! Pitt with a much 'bigger' name on deck vs Va Tech. Cavs are 15-5-1 ATS L21 vs teams with winning records and 20-8-3 ATS last 31 overall. They have gone 11-25 SU the 3 year prior to Bronco's arrival. Obviously, even being bad, they are competitive. 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA CAVALIERS
10-14-16	Mississippi State v. BYU -7		21-28	Push	0	26 h 51 m	Show
Taking BYU here. I said on my podcast earlier today that this is a good spot for the home team. We get them in homecoming mode vs a big, bad SEC team. But make no mistake, this is a down year for the Mississippi State. I mean, who saw them a TD dog against BYU? Is this the old Detmer team beating the Miami Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl? Fact is, BYU has played a tougher schedule and has performed better. Cougars the more balanced bunch in my eyes. Can't think that the Bulldogs are happy trekking up to Provo for an out of conference battle vs a team that is better than them and will be looking to make a statement for themselves. 4* Money Maker BYU COUGARS
10-14-16	Oilers v. Flames -125		5-3	Loss	-125	13 h 53 m	Show
4* Money Maker CALGARY FLAMES
10-14-16	Blackhawks v. Predators -122		2-3	Win	100	12 h 4 m	Show
4* Money Maker NASHVILLE PREDATORS
10-14-16	Memphis v. Tulane +11.5		24-14	Win	100	57 h 1 m	Show
Taking TULANE here. Tough spot for Memphis. Battled back from a 10pt hole against Temple. Another revenge game against Navy on the road next. They can easily be looking past a team they crushed 41-13 last year. But as I had said earlier about Memphis, new HC and new QB. I think the Green Wave with extra rest are a nice play for us. Willie Fritz already has 3 wins which equal the wins total from the last 2 years over the entire seasons. A total improvement and it is already paying off dividends. Tulane is going to run, run and run some more. The defense is good enough to keep us close. Not saying we get an outright win here, but the backdoor and a single score win is in our grasp. 4* Money Maker TULANE GREEN WAVE
10-13-16	Broncos v. Chargers UNDER 45.5		13-21	Win	100	14 h 17 m	Show
Going UNDER the total here. Short week. A banged up QB and an interim HC with Kubiak recovering. I normally look to the Thursday unders and tonight is no different. Denver brings a very good defense to the fray. Now, I know SD puts up and allows points like it's their job. But I just see this one playing out to a game that the winner gets to about 24 tops. 4* Total Money UNDER Broncos / Chargers
10-13-16	Capitals -113 v. Penguins		2-3	Loss	-113	23 h 49 m	Show
4* Money Maker WASHINGTON CAPITALS
10-13-16	Dodgers v. Nationals -144		4-3	Loss	-144	11 h 11 m	Show
Taking the NATIONALS here. Now. Have to be honest. Part of me wanted to pull the trigger on LAD here. But I have a lot of faith in Mad Max. The guy is strikeout machine. We did fade him in Game 1 in part because he gives up HRs like crazy now. 2 in game 1! But I expect an adjust here. I have always taken a pitcher the next start against a team. Especially when it one of those series where they see each other a week later. Well. It is 4 games later for all the marbles to head to the NLCS. Every time this guy goes out you can see something special. I would be shocked if he didn't get a CG tonight. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS
10-13-16	Canadiens -113 v. Sabres		4-1	Win	100	22 h 39 m	Show
4* Money Maker MONTREAL CANADIENS
10-13-16	Islanders v. Rangers -133		3-5	Win	100	10 h 3 m	Show
4* Money Maker NY RANGERS
10-12-16	Kings +108 v. Sharks		1-2	Loss	-100	23 h 27 m	Show
4* Money Maker LA KINGS
10-12-16	Blues v. Blackhawks -1.5		5-2	Loss	-100	21 h 55 m	Show
Going PUCK LINE for double the money. You can lay the ML, but I think Chicago wins this one in 4-1 in payback fashion.
10-11-16	Cubs v. Giants +116		6-5	Loss	-100	8 h 1 m	Show
Taking the GIANTS here. Have to say, thought I was sitting pretty with the Cubs last night on our free pick video. That being said, who would have thought the Cubs would be the blowing late games? Didn't see that one coming. But I think that San Fran evens things up tonight. I know Lackey has a very good post-season pedigree. The numbers don't lie. They are what they are in the playoffs. But I am more concerned with his road splits. Pedestrian at best this year on the road. 4-4 in 13 starts and a 4.37 ERA. A far cry from the 2.32 ERA and .99 WHIP he put up at home. Moore comes in a winner in 4 of his last 5 starts. Noted, the Dodgers crushed him for 6 runs in an inning back on the 21st, but he rebounded a week later against them 1 run ball over 8. In those 4 other starts, he went 27.2 innings giving up 6 earned striking out 30 with 5 walks. We will be getting a Game 5. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
10-10-16	Bucs +5.5 v. Panthers		17-14	Win	100	32 h 23 m	Show
Taking the BUCCANEERS here. I have been on these guys already several times this year. I think they are a talented unit. Hopefully Winston isn't in the old 'sophomore slump' and just a victim of playing from behind and forcing his throws. Not sure if Cam will be here. I am thinking he suits up. More that in my Thursday podcast. That being said. LY's NFC Championship game featured these Panthers and Arizona. How things have changed! Look. I think the Panthers have some serious issues. Add in the fact that teams come extra hard at a team that was in the Super Bowl. Panthers have won 6 straight in this series. I think the time has come for a Tampa win. Might even go ML +200. Tampa has scored 31-7-32-7 so isn't it obvious what happens here? Tampa 30-27 outright! 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
10-10-16	Indians +125 v. Red Sox		4-3	Win	125	23 h 45 m	Show
Same as yesterday - Taking the INDIANS here. Had these guys Friday, and will look for them to take a commanding 3-0 lead. It is all about fading Buchholz. Which I have done on multiple occasions this season. Home split that sports a 5.60 ERA 2-7 record and .276 BAA. This is not where the Sox thought they would be and I think the youngsters might feel a little pressure. Tomlin will give up runs, but I think the way he has pitched his last 4 starts (25+ innings 20 hits) gives us an edge. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS
10-09-16	Rangers +178 v. Blue Jays		6-7	Loss	-100	31 h 12 m	Show
Taking the RANGERS here. Look. I can't knock the Jays as they steamrolled in Games 1&2. They send out Aaron Sanchez who went 15-2 3.00 ERA on the year. He had a higher ERA at home, 3.74, than on the road 2.48. I think that helps a bit. But to be honest, this a play on Texas. You don't win 95 games on a fluke. This is a good team. At this price, we have to take a shot on them. Colby Lewis has a 2.38 ERA in 9 post season games, 8 of which were starts. He also has a 2.75 road ERA in 9 starts with a .93 WHIP and .198 BA against. 4* Money Maker TEXAS RANGERS
10-09-16	Bills +2.5 v. Rams	Top	30-19	Win	100	89 h 25 m	Show
Taking the BILLS here. Right off the bat I like the extra rest. Tough flying cross country. Even tougher when you are off a win over a hated rival. But let's not forget that this a talented team. They started out sluggish but have come on strong. Let's be honest. You really think the Rams are good? I am not buying it. They have been out-yarded in every game! Are they winning 4 in a row? Will the get 5 turnovers today? Another huge division win for them over Arizona. I just see a let down and a correction to the norm. Gurley is averaging 2.6 yards a carry! Dog Outright. 8* Sure Shot BUFFALO BILLS
10-09-16	Bengals v. Cowboys UNDER 46		14-28	Win	100	4 h 19 m	Show
4* Total Money UNDER Bengals/ Cowboys
10-09-16	Chargers +4 v. Raiders	Top	31-34	Win	100	89 h 1 m	Show
Taking the CHARGERS here. Circle the wagons time for San Diego. Are you kidding me? Blow a 21pt lead to KC and lose in OT. Blow a lead to the Colts with a minute and change. And last week's Saints debacle blowing a 13pt lead with 7 minutes to go. Well. The Raiders offer the perfect remedy. We have double-revenge working for us. We have the fact that Oakland has already made 3 trips east already and that adds to fatigue. We have the fact that the Raiders have been out yarded in all their games. We know that they have been on the lucky side of things as they edged the Saints and needed a late TD to get past Baltimore. SD is 16-10 SU 19-7 ATS and are getting a nice number. Sprinkle that 165 ML in here. These teams are pretty evenly matched and one is ready for a huge win! 10* Money Bomb SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
10-09-16	Falcons +5 v. Broncos	Top	23-16	Win	100	47 h 46 m	Show
Taking the FALCONS here. I don't know. This line just sucks me in. Maybe I'm the sucker. But I will gladly grab an Atlanta team that is an offensive explosion lately. I know that the Broncos can bring heat on Matt Ryan. I am not sold on the Denver QB whoever it is no matter how great the defense helping him is. Might sprinkle some ML +180 on this puppy. 5* Best Bet ATLANTA FALCONS
10-09-16	Eagles v. Lions +3		23-24	Win	100	86 h 14 m	Show
Taking the LIONS here. Yeah. Detroit has lost 3 in a row and have looked absolutely terrible lately. Philly comes in undefeated off their bye week. I can just see a huge effort here when everyone expects Detroit to just lay an egg. Lions crushed the Eagles here on Thanksgiving last year 45-14. I think just when you start putting nails in a bad team coffins, they spring to life. Wentz is still a rookie making his first dome appearance with a new head coach. I think the Lions offense gets it done here today. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS
10-09-16	Bears +4.5 v. Colts		23-29	Loss	-101	86 h 7 m	Show
Taking the BEARS here. I said last week that whoever lost between the Colts and Jags their HC would be looking for a job. I still think that holds true. What kind of sick maniac says no to a bye week after a trip to London? This Chicago team has some weapons on offense. John Fox will exploit the slow legs of a jet-lagged team. Colts have proven they stink in 2 countries in a week! The OL is terrible. They can't generate a rush attack. 4* Money Maker CHICAGO BEARS
10-09-16	Jets v. Steelers -7		13-31	Win	100	60 h 7 m	Show
Taking the STEELERS here. I really want to take the Jets here. I had them last week. I thought they would get the better of Seattle. But this team is just not playing good ball right now. Fitzmagic has been brutal with 9 INTs the last 2 weeks! Forte can't get anything going out of the backfield. Decker is probably done. Just a matter of time before Marshall goes crazy as his team sinks to a 1-6 start. I just can't see the Jets offense keeping pace with the Steelers here. 4* Money Maker PITTSBURGH STEELERS
10-08-16	UNLV v. San Diego State -15.5		7-26	Win	100	45 h 11 m	Show
4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO STATE
10-08-16	Texas Tech v. Kansas State -8	Top	38-44	Loss	-106	51 h 15 m	Show
Taking KANSAS STATE here. Like Snyder in this role. Off a loss last week to West Va, and with a big revenge game here at home. Texas Tech dropped the 'Cats 59-44 last year putting up nearly 700 yards of offense. This K-State defense is one of the toughest in the land (4) in total yards yielding under 240 a game. We saw them against the cupcakes (FIU, Missouri St) give up 7 points. But holding a pretty good Stanford team playing at home to just 227 total yards is a good showing. Texas Tech can score, but the defense is putrid. Try allowing 43ppg last 13 road games. Over 500ypg allowed. Final thought here. Last 2 games here in K-State, 45-13, 55-24 good for 31 and 32pt wins. This would have been a play regardless of QB status. 10* Money Bomb KANSAS STATE
10-08-16	Colorado v. USC -4.5		17-21	Loss	-105	40 h 29 m	Show
Taking USC here. So we have the 'unranked' team laying to the 'ranked' team. As I always say on my daily video and weekly podcast, I am always taking the unranked fave. Football, college hoops. Doesn't matter. Colorado is 7-49 SU L56 in the road. How about his. -17, -19.5, -21, -39.5, -20 . Those are what Southern Cal has been favored over the Buffs the last 5 years! Now 4.5. Sign me up. 4* Money Maker USC TROJANS
10-08-16	Army v. Duke -5		6-13	Win	100	48 h 47 m	Show
Taking DUKE here. I faded these guys last week off that huge win over ND and it paid off. Now back to reality. Normally, I am not a fan of taking a team out of conference facing a service academy running triple option. But Duke is no stranger to this offense as they face Georgia Tech. Tech probably a tad better talent wise, yet the Blue Devils held them to 173 rush yards in last years win (34-20). They also pounded Army at West Point 44-3 giving up only 120 yards on the ground. I think I can assume that their DC has this rush game figured out. Off a loss, and a short number, have to grab the home team here. 4* Money Maker DUKE BLUE DEVILS

Taking WYOMING here. Have to fade AF in off their Navy game. Cowboys have played the Falcons well covering in classic back-door style last year as 21 points losing 31-17 after being down 21-3 a minute into the 4th quarter. The year before that they pulled out a 17-13 win here as a 1pt pup. And in 2013 56-23. Sprinkle that in with some history and Wyoming is on a 7-0 ATS series run. 4* Money Maker WYOMING

Taking VIRGINIA TECH here. Straight up situational play here. We have North Carolina in off an emotional and physical battle vs Florida State. So. Not only did they jump out to a 21-0 lead on the 'Noles, they gave it all back and then some to be down 35-34 (blocked PAT) with 23 seconds left. They connect on a 54 yarder as time expired. To say there is nowhere to go but down is an understatement. NC is a good club. They have won 15 of their last 16 regular season games. But Virginia Tech is off their bye. The Florida State 10 pt dog outright, last second win. Add in that Tarheels have the Hurricanes on deck. Perfect sandwich flat spot. We also know that the Hokies are 4-1 ATS last 5 in the series and the road team is 7-3 ATS last 10. 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA TECH

Taking MARYLAND here. Lions opened as a 2pt fave and the line swung right out of the gate. Penn State banged up on defense. I think Terps will be able to score some points here. They have revenge from a 31-30 home loss last year. They outrushed PSU 241-48, but when you 5 turnovers, you are going to probably be on the losing end of some battles. 4* Money Maker MARYLAND

Taking OKLAHOMA here. Who is really shocked I am on the Sooners? Have been on these guys in this same game in years past. Look. I said in Game 1 that Oklahoma is terrible when they start Top 5 in pre-season polls. Now is the time the go on their run. When nobody is looking at them. No pressure. They run the table and are sitting in the Top 10 at 10-2. Texas has some major problems. As I said on my Thursday Tail-Gate Podcast, 99 points allowed in your last 2 days and you are going to get questioned. Well rumors are swirling that the Longhorns have or will jettison Charlie Strong at seasons end. Maybe the guys play up for him here. This is the same team we had in Week 1 that carried him off the field beating ND. Texas has pulled a pair of upsets being double digit dogs and nearly a third the last 3 times in this spot. This line opened at 7. Something just tells me that the Oklahoma covers this hefty number. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS

Taking MINNESOTA here. I will be the first to say that I was totally wrong about this Iowa team. Obviously, everything that had to go right last year did. Because they are really paying their debts this year. A loss to North Dakota State. Barely edging out Rutgers. Losing at home to Northwestern. Winning the stats in just one game shows their true colors. They will be in for a battle here against Minny. I have had these guys several times already and will come back to cash a ticket here at high noon. Golden Gophers 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series, dog 5-2 ATS also. But at +1, I will just go for the even money here. 8* Sure Shot MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS
10-07-16	Dodgers -140 v. Nationals		4-3	Win	100	68 h 37 m	Show
Taking the DODGERS here. I know that Kershaw doesn't have the best post season numbers. In fact, they are pretty bad overall. 2-6 4.59 ERA in 13 games, 10 starts. Maybe he is just worn down by the time October comes around. He was on the shelf and has a minimum of 10 starts off his arm. That can only help here. He gave up 2 earned in 21 innings in September after coming off the DL. Scherzer also with pedestrian numbers in post-season. 4-3 3.73 ERA in 12 games, 10 starts. I can't say you go wrong grabbing him as a dog. The guy struck out 284 hitters with a .97 WHIP and .199 BA against. But he has gives up HRs and that could be costly here. Nats will be without Ramos, and that is a .307 hitter with 22HRs out of the lineup. Harper I think is injured, or at least has nagging issues the entire season. Daniel Murphy and his .347 average is hampered with an upper leg injury. I think facing Kershaw, and this LA staff in general, you want your best as close to healthy as possible. Seager, Turner, Pederson, Grandal all hit more than 25HRs so I won't be shocked if one, or 2 go yard tonight. I think LA wins this series and has a good shot at a World Series appearance. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS

Taking the GIANTS here. Ok. Have to grab Bumgarner at this price. I like Thor. I have said it on my podcasts and in my write ups. Terry Collins did a hellavu job getting this team to the wild card. I am not going to list their starting P's who went down. Or every position player that turned up on the DL. He did a great job. The Giants haven't played well the 2nd half of the year in my eyes. I was really waiting for them to take off. They are in the hunt though. I am not worried about their poor bullpen since Bumgarner will most likely go the distance if he is winning. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

But he sports a great road split of 8-3 2.97 ERA in 14 starts with a respectable .219 BA against and 1.13 WHIP. We know that both teams possess deep HR power lineups. We will probably see some runs, but in the end, the O's bullpen will be the difference maker. 5* Best Bet BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Taking the VIKINGS here. Faded both of these guys last week with mixed results. Skins cashed on the free pick video, while the Panthers were mauled by Minny. Let's cut to the chase here. Defense. Even though the Giants poured what, 100+ million onto that side of the ball, they can only look on in envy at Zimmers unit. This guy is a great coach. 25-5 ATS last 30 and 16 of last 18 good for 89% against the number! No AP no problem. McKinnon and Asiata filled in just fine when Peterson was lost for the year. Bradford is getting more comfortable by the day with his new club. Minny has given up 14, 16 and 10 in their games. The defense is a straight up public enemy. Giants already to have some injuries pop up. Eli is a statue and will go down at least 3-4 times tonight. One will probably result in a fumble, and he will toss a pick or 2 as he will be harassed all night long. 10* MNF GOM Vikings

Taking ARIZONA here. The ol' perfect storm set-up shaping up nicely for us. We have the Cardinals off a game where they were thoroughly embarrassed on the scoreboard and all aspects of game play. The Rams flew to the east coast after beating division rival Seattle and their offense exploded to the tune of 37 points in Tampa. Make no mistake though, this Rams offense is not good. Before heading to Tampa, this offense punted on 16 of 22 possessions and had 3 TOs without scoring a touchdown. Besides in off back to back upset wins and a cross country back to back roadie, they face a very angry Arizona team. These guys have Super Bowl aspirations. Bruce Arians will have these guys on fire from the coin toss after a 5 TO game. Remember the game after losing to the Patriots? 40-7 over Tampa. I'm looking for more of the same this afternoon. 8* Sure Shot ARIZONA CARDINALS

Taking the JETS here. Going to grab them +125 on the ML also. Have to love the home dog getting points. I know it is Seattle, but still not a fan of west coast teams coming east in early action. Couple that with the fact that Wilson is banged up. Jets defense is a beast and gets plenty of pressure on opposing QBs. Seattle has quite frankly, struggled out of the gate here. I know the Jets were humiliated last week. QB play was absolutely brutal last week. 6 INTs from Fitzpatrick, 8 TOs total, including 2 defensive TDs. You aren't winning any games at any level pulling stunts like that. 10* Money Bomb NEW YORK JETS

Taking the JAGS here ML. You can grab +2.5 or 3, but if I am taking Jax, I think they win outright. Basically for me. It comes down to this. Gus Bradley gets this guy to win today, or he is canned. Going 12-39 SU has that kind of impact on job security. The talent is there. They have picked high in the draft for years now. Bradley is suppose to be a defensive guy. He has some beasts on that side of the ball. Time to get them to mow down a poor OL, hit and pressure Luck. Colts also have some deep thinking to do. Whatever coach is saddled with the L will most likely be out the door this year. I think the Jags rate a bit of edge here since they played on this crappy grass field LY. Colts a dome team in a real unfamiliar setting. Gus saves off the ax for now. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

But getting 8 TOs will make pretty much any team look good. 50-19. That was the score the year before on the Blue Turf. Utah State have lost 6 straight here by an average of 32 ppg (2-9-1 ATS 12 in series). 4* Money Maker BOISE STATE

I think it is safe to say the Heisman front-runner will emerge between the QBs here tonight. For me. It basically comes down to defense. Clemson with the better one. Everyone is in love with the offense attack of Louisville. Let me check some here. 18 straight home wins. Undefeated home dog. Team that lost in the National Championship Game last year. yep.

Taking OKLAHOMA here. Ranked team a home underdog to an unranked team. Sign me up Sooners! I said on podcast week 1 that Oklahoma is terrible when ranked high to start the year. And out of the gate, they lose outright as a double digit fave. Then get assaulted at home by Ohio State. Now they take to the road to face a TCU team that is a tough out in any venue. But Oklahoma is talented even with the losses. This is the type of team that will now run the table, and at the end of the year, everyone will be saying that, hey, if you lose early, it is better than losing late. That being said, with 2 losses they are most likely out of any Playoff talk unless things get crazy for other teams. Sooners also with 2 weeks to think about that home loss and get ready for a team that nearly beat them without their starting QB on the road last year. 5* Best Bet OKLAHOMA SOONERS

Huge momentum swing the 2nd half last week and now I think we see why everyone had these guys as a SEC Champion contender. Georgia finding out it is hard to slow down good offenses and score with an inexperienced signal caller. Short line and I think the Tennessee after last weeks huge win over Florida, exhales and says, we are a good team. We are better than Georgia. Let's go out there and do it.

They beat Michigan State as a small road dog but got 4 TOs. But now they travel to face the Wolverines with a young signal caller. Michigan will be looking to attack all day with 17 sacks already on the young season. Wiscy in tough b2b road venues has Ohio State at home next. Tough stretch for any team. Michigan now playing their 5th straight at home to start the year and have essentially a bye next week on the road at patsy Rutgers. 10* Money Bomb MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

Taking VIRGINIA here. Have to fade Duke off their biggest non-hoops win ever. Beating ND in South Bend as 20pt dogs is a historic win. So the let down will be in full swing here as not only will Home Coming bring extra parties for the players, they have been dealt another serious injury blow to the defense. I like Bronco coming over from BYU and he is always solid in the underdog role. Virginia is on a tidy 9-2 ATS dog run, 5-0-2 ATS last 7 on the road and 8-1-1 ATS last 10 overall. The dog is 5-2 ATS last 7 in this series. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA

Taking MIAMI here. Richt looks to have The U return to glory sooner rather than later. Getting ready for the Tech option isn't easy, but we have an extra week to prepare here. When he was at Georgia, Richt went 8-0 SU/ATS vs Georgia Tech so I think he has an idea of what to expect here. Canes have won and covered 6 of the last 7 in this series. The only way I don't see a 10pt win here is if Miami is on total cruise control with Florida State on deck. But Richt knows that he needs every win, and he won a lot with the Bulldogs, especially when his team was suppose to beat up on teams that weren't as talented. 4* Money Maker MIAMI HURRICANES

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE here. Like I said in my podcast the other day. Be it College Hoops or Football, when I see the 'ranked' team getting points from a lower, or un-ranked club, fugedaboutit - all in on that team. Cowboys were a pre-season Top 25 team. They shouldn't have covered in that crazy Central Michigan game, but they shouldn't have gotten the L either. They did lose to a good Baylor club. But running the table to 8-2 heading into the last games at TCU and Oklahoma is a very good possibility. We cashed Texas over ND week 1 but how good does that win look now? Also, Texas gave up 50 to Cal. Mason Rudolph leads Okie State to 40ppg and even with a bye week, the Longhorns will have trouble slowing things down. I do like Charlie Strong as HC. But this is a tough spot with a desperate team who's season can really get bad with a loss here and the big Red River Rivalry game vs Oklahoma up next. 5* Best Bet OKLAHOMA STATE

BYU you can say is in a step-down in class after playing Arizona, Utah, UCLA and West Virginia while Toledo is off cupcakes like Maine and Fresno State. But with a bye and extra prep time, I think the Rockets can pull an outright win here. They have MAC Championships ideas. They aren't a bad school. But for all the BYU played a tough schedule, they are still 1-3 in those affairs. Toledo is waiting to say, hey, we beat cream-puffs but can play. So a big step-up for them, with rest, and getting points. Easy play on the road pups. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO ROCKETS

I think Washington played down in more of the 'look ahead' position, while UCLA was giving Stanford a battle because they are not a terrible team. Huskies only a FG and I think they have had this game circled since the schedule came out. Stanford has owned this series and here at home for all the sports betting public to see, they get a chance to show they aren't just the hip pre-season 'it' team. They are a team with legit Pac 12 North Title dreams. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON HUSKIES
