Taking APPALACHIAN STATE here. First ever FBS bowl for the Mountaineers. They sold out their tickets in less than 2 days. 9.5, 10.. Not really a fan of Appy. But at 7, 7.5, much better value. I think this is a 10pt win for us. Ohio has been bowling 6 of the last 7 years. Are they really pumped about this bowl game? The lowest payout of any bowl game. Appy has something to prove building their name since coming up to the FBS. 5* Best Bet APPALACHIAN STATE

Taking NEW MEXICO here. Grabbing the points with the home dog here. Lobos play here in University Stadium. They are clearly the more excited bunch to be playing today. They will have some fans for sure to back them in their first bowl game under HC Bob Davies. Off of 4-3-4 win seasons, New Mexico pulled 3 big upsets. Beating Utah State as 20pt dogs and Boise as 31 point dogs in back to back weeks before upending Air Force as 11 point pups to finish 7-5. Where is the motivation for Arizona? They come limping in dropping 3 of 4 at 6-6. To play New Mexico. I am sure Rich Rod is excited with his 2-7 ATS bowl record. 10* Money Bomb NEW MEXICO LOBOS

Taking the ISLANDERS here. Almost went Puck Line +250 on these guys. Avs in off a nice road trip 3 game sweep ending with a tidy shut-out. Isles can score and I think Colorado will be a little hazy their first game back. 4* Money Maker NY ISLANDERS

Taking COLUMBUS here. I know, I know. How the heck can you take a team that has lost 8 of 9. Shelled 5-1 last time out. But, off a beating like that, they call a 'players-only' meeting. I like that. Nearly made this a Top Play. I think these guys dig down tonight, and give us a nice, easy win. Arizona has dropped 6 of 7 themselves. Not like we are running into a juggernaut tonight. 4* Money Maker COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS

Going OVER the total here. I am looking for some offense tonight in St Louis. Both teams have good RBs in Martin and Gurley. Bucs rookie Winston has some WRs at his disposal. I know Keenum and the Rams offense isn't a sexy bunch, but I see points on the board tonight. Both defenses are not bad and with the spotty QB play, we will be seeing a lot of the ground and pound. That being said, I think what gets us the into the mid 40s tonight is the defenses forcing turn-overs. Short week, one team dealt a tough loss that hurts their playoff chances, the other snapping a losing streak keeping their wild card hopes alive. I look for trick plays, TOs that lead to TDs, and an easy cover by the 3rd quarter. 8* Total Money OVER Bucs/Rams

Taking the DOLPHINS here. I know that Miami has fallen flat since starting out fast under Dan Campbell, but the Giants aren't exactly world beaters. These guys invent new ways to lose every week. Favored on the road? A team that can't finish games? NYG has Odell. The kid is good. Very exciting. But Manning needs more than one flashy receiver. The run game in non-existent. Tannehill has help behind him with Miller running the ball, and on the outside with ODBs former teammate Jarvis Landry. I would really like the Dolphins as a 8 or 10* play if we had Stills near 100% and Rashard Matthews catching balls here tonight. Rookie WR DeVante Parker has looked good filling in though. I look for Miami to pressure Eli and with little help in the run game, he will make some bad throws that translate into points. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS

Taking the JAGUARS here. Will grab Bortles and friends here. I see -115 to -125 on the ML. Lay it or the a point, point in a half. I think Jags win this one by 10. Colts were just abused by the Steelers on the road last week. Now another road game vs a young, hungry bunch. Still no Luck. Hasselbeck showing his age. Charlie Whitehurst on call. Jax has some nice young pieces. I know the Colts have won 16 in a row vs division foes. But this team, missing Luck, with a 'bigger' foe in Houston up next. I'm going with the hungry homies here. 10* Money Bomb JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Taking the BEARS here. Lost with these guys last week. In fact, lost with both teams. Skins let me down at home on MNF. So we have Washington on a short week, off a tough loss. While Chicago was abused all week by coaches after losing in OT to the terrible Niners. I like the Redskins at home. The road is a different beast. Bears can put up some points with their offense. Cousins on the road is not nearly effective as he is at home. 8* Sure Shot CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the JETS here. Just think we have a better team here. Not trusting a rookie QB on the road, even getting a TD. New York will get pressure on Mariota. Jets HC Bowles has some experience facing QBs like this as Kap and Wilson were both faced twice year while he was with Arizona. I am sure he will have someone keeping tabs on the rook so he doesn't take off and burn him with 15 yard runs on 3rd and 8. Even off a big win over their state rivals, I can't see a let-down. Especially with a wild card in sight. 5* Best Bet NEW YORK JETS

Taking the REDSKINS here. This team wins at home. Cousins plays well here, 11TDs just 2 INTs here. The offense isn't terrible. Cowboys will have problems. They always do. Dallas terrible without Romo. The bright side for them is that they should get a top 5 pick next year. Someone in the NFC East has to say they want it right? With the Giants losing yesterday, Washington can take a step closer to division title with a win here. Let's be honest. Redskins aren't looking ahead, or taking Romo-less Dallas for granted. These guys were pegged for last in the division. Their franchise QB, RGIII is on his way out of town. They have enough veterans on this team to know that opportunities like this must be taken with two hands, and raced home with. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON REDSKINS

Taking the SAINTS here. Uh. Why do I love these ugly plays in December. I'll tell you why. Because the last 3 years we have cashed to the tune of 66% this month that's why! I thought the Panthers would get tripped up by Dallas last week. Well, I was the turkey as they knocked Romo from the game and put the nail in the Cowboys season coffin. Are the Panthers the better team? Absolutely. The defenses shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. But something tells me after being bottled a couple games, Brees gets us some points here, plus a cover. 4* Money Maker NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 

Taking the EAGLES here. Just another ugly dog here. Pats off first loss of the year Sunday night in Denver. Make no mistake. The Philly defense ins't as good as the Broncos! Seriously though. Philly utterly humiliated on Thanksgiving in Detroit. We have extra rest working for us. And, I really don't think the Eagles have quit on their coach. I am actually shocked the line is this low. I mean, Eagles have given up 10 TDs the last 2 games to the Lions and Bucs. What will Brady do? Throw for 7 TDs here? I'll grab the dumpster fire that is Philly and the points. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking the CHARGERS here. Will have to fade the Broncos off their big OT win over the Patriots last week. We had Denver there, but will look for Rivers and San Diego to get us a dog-outright win here. 4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

Taking the BEARS here. Will lay the TD here at home with Chicago. These guys aren't playing bad football folks. Fox has them in the hunt for wild-card just a game back. Look. Bears offense hasn't looked great the last 2 weeks scoring 15 at home against a tough Denver defense, and 17 in a win at Green Bay. I am not feeling a let-down here as we have the extra rest of a Thursday night game. And let's be honest. Cutler, Forte, Jeffery is a heck of a lot better than whatever Niners QB Blaine Gabbert has at his disposal. 49ers 0-5 on the road this season having allowed 43,47,30,27 and 29 points. A much more winnable road game up next for them traveling to Cleveland. Bears by at least 10 here. 10* Money Bomb CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the FALCONS here. Maybe I am a bit biased here. As I did a video with Doug Upton during the Super Contest Seminar back in August, I said these Falcons were my best bet to surpass their win total. After a fast start, I am still waiting here in December. That being said, Atlanta has dropped 4 in row, while TB has won 3 of 5. Looks like a pair of teams heading in different directions. But the Falcons should be with RB Freeman who is an automatic help to Matt Ryan in the backfield. Looking for some revenge here. 5* Best Bet ATLANTA FALCONS

Taking MICHIGAN STATE here. I get it. Nobody respects undefeated Iowa. I know, they win. And I will take solid over sexy all day long if it covers for me. But overall, I just don't like this Iowa team. Forget that they beat only 4 teams with winning records. I always say, you can only play who is in on the schedule. They took a good punch from Nebraska. They were totally outplayed, and still one. Same Nebraska team that pinned Sparty with their only loss. But this in a real experienced Michigan State team. 3rd time in 5 years in Big 10 Championship Game. And as their coach said. They are peaking at the right the time. The offense is clicking. The OL looks great, and Connor Cook looks pretty healthy behind it. 10* Money Bomb MICHIGAN STATE 

Taking ALABAMA here. Geez. 17.. Wow. So, I thought this would be 14-15, obviously Bama is a known commodity, we have some extra juice to lay. If Florida had trouble at home, with double revenge, vs in-state rival FSU, what kind of problems will they have facing this beast of a team? I had the Tide in last years SEC Championship game when they dismantled Missouri 42-13. Why do I see the same kind of game here? The Alabama defense is a top flight group. They are on a mission after their Sugar Bowl performance last year. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA

Taking TEMPLE here. I faded Houston last week against Navy. That didn't end well. But when Navy throws the ball for over 300 yards, I think we found a kink in the armor here. Temple will be looking for revenge for a 31-10 loss last year. Owls with the better defense. Just think this is a nice number to play on. Temple has faced dual threat QBs before, so this isn't a major wrinkle. Houston defense gives up points to decent offenses. 4* Money Maker TEMPLE OWLS

Taking BOWLING GREEN here. Yes, Northern Illinois is in MAC Championship for the 6th straight year. Last year, they pasted BG 51-17. That was with BG being led by a back-up QB. A little role reversal here. That is why we are laying double digits. NIU down to their #4 QB on the depth chart. Falcons score at will. NIU gracefully fell into this game when Western Michigan got upset. Yes, they are going to be pumped. But this is payback time for the Falcons. Won't be surprised to see the same score as last year, just with different names above the numbers. 5* Best Bet BOWLING GREEN

Taking the FALCONS here. Everyone down on the Falcons. I get it. They have looked bad lately. But this is based on the Minny loss. They were riding high. They had a slumping GB team at home. All they had to do was apply pressure and get that division lead. They were beat soundly. So, I look at this game. All I see is a team that put all its marbles in one basket last week. To beat the big bad Packers. Bitter division rival. And they fell flat on their faces. Where is the motivation here? For the Falcons, Carolina has this division wrapped up. If HC Quinn has any hope of WC spot, he needs a win here at home before 3 straight road games. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS
