Taking DETROIT. Tough not to take streaking Lions. Even tougher when you have to lay points with them. Only recent in this run that crazy one to the Bills. I had both Panthers and Lions last week with mixed results. Carolina still alive in this mess of the South. Panthers probably with the much better defense if we are all being honest here. This is just one of those gut plays for me where we see something, the Lions going from 1-6 to a 10-7. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS 

Taking CLEVELAND. Saints. Dome team, outside. First look, there will be some cold weather. Desperate Browns. Give me Chubb to close in on 200 yards here. On a side note here. We locked in the UNDER here at 39. Sometimes betting early you get a better number. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking SEATTLE. Maybe the Chiefs take the foot off the peddle a bit here with rival Denver on deck. Even so. This is a big number vs a really desperate Seattle now. KC 10-3 ATS but 2-10-1 ATS last 13. Always the extra juice on this public bet teams. Mahomes is the MVP. Guy is gonna pass for 5 thousand yards and have over 40 TDs. But back to that ATS number, 0-5-1 ATS for KC when laying more than a TD. KC locked up 7th straight AFC Division. Seattle extra prep of that Thursday night San Fran game. I think they keep this within a score. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the BENGALS. For me. These guys are the best team in the league right now. We cashed with them last week, will come back on them again. 10-2 SU 11-1 ATS last 11. I don't care who the coach of NE is. This team is on a different level right now. I read that out of the Patriots 7 wins, 6 are vs backup QBs. Yikes. Last weeks ending vs Raiders - Does this look like any type a Hoodie Coached team? The offense, and I have said this all season. Offensive to say the least. Look.  If somehow NE pulls one out of their butts, wow. But Cincy plays in the cold. December in NE might be mild compared to winter in Cincinnati. I find it safe to not stand in front of freight trains barreling, or in this case Burrowing down a hill. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

Taking the JAGS here. We saw this line on the move Sunday night as I was doing the Look Ahead Lines Show now at a PK in some shops. Also said to grab the Under also at 42 - now down to a 38 in some spots. Wilson or White, I still think New York has trouble scoring. One healthy QB is huge over a guy with injuries concerns and another cat who the players don't want on the field. I would rather have the Jags in off a loss to Dallas instead of the big OT win. But this team is still fighting for the South Title. I like their coach. I think even on a short week on the road we have a slight edge. Jets defense is a top unit, so the under is still in play here as well. Jags just need a win here and I think they get it. 4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Taking SOUTH ALABAMA. Terrible number here for us. But that happens when we bet early.  WKU QB was out, now he is back. But he is down a couple OL men, and a pair of TEs. And when you pull a stunt like that, where is your heart. How do your teammates feel about you? This isn't a guy going in the 1st round of the draft and guys would like, I get it. WKU had a ho-hum season. Jaguars nearly an undefeated season - 4pts.. 4 points from undefeated 32-31 at UCLA, - 10-6 vs Troy. South Alabama looking at 11 wins with a victory here. They bring a Top 15 overall defense to the mix. Obviously would much rather be laying the 4.5, but I still think we can pull out the cover. 4* Money Maker SOUTH ALABAMA

Taking TOLEDO. This is such an up and down team. I don't like them laying points. MAC itself a total mess this season. But nothing like the mess Liberty has left itself. 3 straight losses- UCONN! (though we took them +11 in their bowl game) Virginia Tech who had 3 wins, 1 being over Wofford, barely. And 6-6 New Mexico State who throttled them 49-14. Oh - did I mention they were Double Digit favorites in all 3 of those games? Where is this teams mindset? Not happy about being in Boca that's for sure. Their HC left for greener pastures. Look, the Toledo HC really is not to be trusted as a favorite. I said on the Mid Day Money show for the MAC Championship this team was favored in every game but 1 (at Ohio State). They have 5 losses. But if this guy can't pull out a win here (0-4 SU/ ATS in Bowls) the administration should really start looking for a new HC. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO ROCKETS

Taking CONNECTICUT in the Myrtle Beach Bowl. How do we turn down double digits with 2 teams that have trouble scoring? We don't, that's how! Marshall has to be thinking. We beat Notre Dame, in South Bend. How the heck are we playing UConn in South Carolina? Good question. And I don't have that answer. I know the Herd are a much better team. The stats and numbers don't lie. They are what they are. Huskies a scrappy bunch. I think we hang around enough to sneak in that backdoor. 4* Money Maker UCONN

Taking CINCINNATI. Best team going in the NFL right now. I will take credit for waking this beast up. We had the Browns in that Halloween beat down. And since then, Bengals have been the king of the jungle. Time to eat on an elderly former king. This TB offense is dreadful. I don't think this game is close. Bengals put up close to 30. How is Tampa scoring? Hint- they aren't. They think 16 is a win, when it just gets kids a drivers permit in some states. Tampa 1-9-1 ATS run Cincy 10-1 ATS run. I am not one for blindly riding a trend, but I will gladly use it when it is working in my favor. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS

Taking DALLAS. Not the best number, but it happens. The outcomes of these 2 games were the opposite of what I thought would happen. I was looking for a Dallas 37-16 type of game, and the Jags to come off a physical 10pt loss to the Titans. Nope. Any given Sunday for sure. And even with the Eagles on deck, I think Dallas cruises here. Defense will cause havoc. Don't blame them for that game last week. Short field not on them. Dak needs to get his act together. And I think it will - behind a heavy run game that opens up some passing lanes so there will not be multiple INTs. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

Taking the LIONS. Not liking the big line move here. Though we had it last week when we grabbed Detroit as home dogs before they flipped to being the favorite.  6-0 ATS and 5-1 SU last 6 for Motown. Still like them as a short favorite. Jets still struggling on offense - 2 TDs the last 2 games. A touchdown a game will not get you many wins no matter how great your defense is. Even against the Lions. I like White. I thought he should have been in the moment Zach got hurt in preseason. But the kid is a solid shot away from Joe Flacco coming in this afternoon. Goff outdoors isn't something I love. But Detroit has a run game that can, and will get it done. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS

Taking CAROLINA. Well. Had a pair loses last week with these 2. Took Pitt, took Seattle. 0-2. Not making the same mistake though on the Panthers. Team is clearly playing for Wilks. Defense on both sides of the field here, yes. But give me the Carolina offense. They are running it well. Power run football baby! And the Steelers just got mauled on the ground by Baltimore. Those games are always brutal. And - Hello Mitch Trubisky! That is 1, if not 2 INTs in our favor before the game even kicks off. 27-9 Panthers quest for the NFC South Title still alive. 4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS

Taking BOISE here. North Texas canned their HC, left the DC, who, came out of retirement and led a defense that gave up 455 yards a game (124th) on the year and is in fresh off of giving up 48 points in the CUSA Championship Game. Boise will bring a defense and a decent offense to town. So Mean Green gets to play close to home. It won't matter. North Texas totally overmatched here. 4* Money Maker BOISE STATE 

Taking the BILLS here. 21-19 revenger on tap for Buffalo. I think this is a double digit win. Possible bad weather. Or  bad for Miami, they aren't playing in cold, snow, sleet or whatever the Bills Mafia drums up tonight. We had talked about this game on Look Ahead Lines. Get it early. It would only go up. Miami 3rd straight road game vs a revenge minded team. Dolphins offense doesn't look that sharp to me. Tua looked awful vs a depleted, and quite frankly a bad Chargers defense. Couldn't get past that 17 points again. Might want to look at the Under also here. I don't think Miami scores 16. Short week. Sunday night, fly home. Fly to Buffalo for a Saturday game. No favors from the schedule makers. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS

Taking the BROWNS. We have faded the Ravens the last 3 weeks and will make it 4 in a row. This team, even with Lamar, struggles to cover. Now, they are dogs because there is no Lamar. And possibly no, or a banged up backup. Either way, Baltimore is 1-4 last 5 when their QB is out. Short week, on the road. Another desperate division rival needing a win. Watson in his 3rd start. Can't play worse than he has. Just hand the ball to Chubb and let the guy eat. Lean Under here, something like 19-12. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Taking FRESNO here. This was an easy call for me. First. We had these guys ML in the Mountain West Championship Game. And as I said then - QB is back, watch out. This is a solid team. Now they get to play little brother (MWC) vs big brother (PAC 12) Cougars lose 1000 WR yards to the portal. Their DC leaves the cold to head to Arizona State. And we have a QB and offense that is humming winning 8 in a row. 5* Best Bet FRESNO STATE

(Dumb & Dumber anyone) So why are we backing to the window for this?  For me. 2 things here. Last year Cincinnati in the Playoffs! Now, day 2 of Bowl Season at Fenway Park for the Wasabi Bowl. Hot mess bowl for Cincy. And UL. You don't think these guys want to beat their coaches new team. Oh, you think we stink. Well, watch us beat your new guys. Granted. Points, probably at a premium this morning. The total is under 40! 4* Money Maker LOUISVILLE

Taking UAB. We get a pair of 6-6 teams on in the Bahamas mid-December. Look. Grabbing a double digit dog with a team who won a bowl last year, and has a steady hand at the coaching position seems like a sound bet. Even though UAB hired Trent Dilfer, the players went to bat for their coach and said we want him instead. Motivation not a factor. A RB that is CUSAs Player of the Year. Miami O defense gave up 175+ on the ground in 5 of their last 6. The offense put up more that 21 3 times in their last 10 games. UAB was an underachieving bunch, I get it. But this line is double digits for a reason. I'm laying it.  4* Money Maker UAB BLAZERS

Taking SAN FRAN here. Line is up to 3 now. And though as of this write up it looks like Seattle has their RB back, I still have to side with the Niners here. Purdy doesn't have to be pretty. Guy did chuck it 37 times vs Miami. But he can game manage with the best of them like he did in efficient fashion last week vs TB going 16-21 with a pair of TDs. This is really me fading Seattle. They have not looked sharp the last 4 weeks. We can make some excuses. Long flight from Arizona to Germany to face Tampa. Blowing a lead and game vs Vegas at home. Overlooking a bad Rams team. But what was last week? Injuries? Carolina off a bye week? Look. If you can't knock off the Panthers at home, you have problems. Vegas game too? Those are 2 losses that will come back to haunt your season. SF red hot, not skipping a beat winning 6 in a row. Their defense is the difference maker here. Little over 10ppg allowed in that win streak. Clinch the NFC West with a win tonight. Will lean towards the Under here also. But San Fran should squeeze out a 7-10pt win tonight. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers
