4* Money Maker EDMONTON ELKS 

Going UNDER. I think Sale just mows these guys down. Would be shocked if the Orioles score 2 runs. Coming in off getting swept at home by Yanks, Boston should have an easier time vs Baltimore who they have beaten in 6 straight and 8 of 10. Day off was good for them. Again. I think Sale is the key. Zimmerman will give us 5+ and will give up 3 or 4. Might be close, but still like the under. 4* Total Money UNDER Sox/Orioles 

Taking SEATTLE. Playoff baseball a little early. Battle for the Wild Card. Both teams fighting for their lives. Seattle 2 back, A's 3 back. Flexen is pitching to a 2.93 last 7 and wrapping up a pretty solid year overall. He had a poor start vs Oakland way back on June 2. But his 3 starts vs A's since then. 19 innings 15 hits 4 ERs including a 7 inning 3 hit gem last week when the Marines pulled off a sweep. Seattle has now won 9 in row in the series and 12 of the last 16. Irvin a bit rocky lately. He was tagged for 7 hits in 5 innings giving up 3 earned vs Flexen. Sometimes a team just has another teams number. And Seattle is really sticking it to Oakland so far. At this price, we take the home team. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking the COWBOYS. Maybe they do have a bit of a defense. Had Dallas and the Over last week, got a split. We faded the Eagles again and got the win. That is 2 straight wins for us on San Fran. Tonight though. Dallas. I have to say, this over looks a little high, 52. With scores of 17-11 and 20-17 last week. Fishy. I know Philly plays the Boys tough. I just think the offense should be able to get us over the hump here. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the INDIANS, going RUN LINE. Quantrill has been dealing lately. 2.15 ERA last 7. But what I like is this. Last 8 home starts - just 7 Earned Runs allowed. He will go 6+ and KC won't do much against him. On the other side of that is Kowar. His last 3 starts - 6, 5 and 5 runs allowed. 4* RL Money CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Taking the YANKEES. No way the Red Sox get swept! 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES 

4* Money Maker LA RAMS 

Taking the VIKINGS, going ML. This is an absolute 'must win' circle the wagons' whatever you want to call it for Minny. They have let 2 games slip through their fingertips. Pressure is on. Good thing though -Seattle comes to town. A team that has no problems going up and down the field. Hey, we get up 20 points its ok, we will let you come back and tie things up. Cook might not be Henry, but he is a great back. Should open things for the WRs here. Vikings can easily be 2-0. Don't blame the offense. They will put 30+ up on this Seattle unit. We just need a defensive stop. 10* Money Bomb MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking OAKLAND. No way the Astros lose again! They can't lose 4 in a row. They are a 90 win team. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND A's 

Taking the RAIDERS. Just a better team for me at home. I have not been high on Miami coming into the season. I won't be high on them during the season. I think the defense is overrated. I think the offense is overrated. Though they do have an edge at HC. I really like Flores. Something about being home in Vegas I like about the Raiders. 4* Money Maker LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Going OVER the total. Ravens defense doesn't look like the 2000 edition. And this is another tough, tough spot. Opening on the road in Vegas and going into OT. Home vs the Chiefs. This game just screams over. 4* Total Money OVER Ravens/ Lions

Going OVER the total. Washington does have some extra time to prepare. The defense looks like it needs a little help. And the Bills offense has been so-so in their first two games. This is just a low line even if Washington defense shows up like they were part of their Super Bowl Champion teams. 4* Total Money OVER Washington/ Bills 

Going OVER the total. I almost want to take KC minus the -6.5 here But I just hear the voices -- All Mahomes has to do is win by a touchdown. Easy money. Forget it. I am going OVER. KC will put up 30. Chargers offense will chuck it with their young QB. This line will be 54-56 soon. 4* Total Money OVER Chargers/ Chiefs 

Going UNDER the total. Browns defense will feast on this Bears team. I am just worried that Cleveland scores 37+ and threatens the over by themselves. 4* Total Money UNDER Bears/ Browns 

Taking the LIONS. If we have seen anything from the Lions, it is they Do Not Quit. Big comeback vs the Niners. And taking a lead into the half at Green Bay. Now they get the Ravens, and are nearly a double digit home underdog. Baltimore enters off a huge win over KC. A win is a win, but they got the gift fumble. Also, this defense is like a wet paper bag holding a rock. Way too many points and that back-door is wide open. 4* Money Maker DETROIT LIONS 

Taking the BROWNS. You are kidding me with this line right? I though this line should be 9, maybe 10. Everyone excited about Justin Fields. Ok. Great. Cincy Joe Joe tossed 3 INTs, 1 for a TD. The score was 7-3 heading to the 4th before a flurry of miscues make it a 20-17 final. You have that much faith in the rookie on the road? In the Dawg Pound. Against a defense that just laid an egg? Good Luck. 8* Sure Shot CLEVELAND BROWNS 

Taking the CHIEFS. I believe KC is now on something like an 0-10 ATS run. 1-11-1 ATS if you want to go back a little further. Tough one last week. I had KC -2.5 and still think I had the right side. Chiefs have been playing down and down and down to their opponents. I think Andy Reid doesn't call the dogs off today. He has a super QB. No way he is giving the ball to a RB with the game on the line ever again. They are in off a loss where the defense was absolutely horrible. Now they get Herbert. Kid was the spot starter after Tyrod Taylor was stabbed in the lung! Ok. They don't know much about the kid, close game. Then it was a Week 17 game. Yeah. KC was really invested in that game before the playoffs begin. Now they have a year of tape. They are off a bad game. They have seen the Charger score 20 and 17 points with their new coaching staff. If ever Andy Reid was to 'release the hounds', it is right now. KC should score 40 today. 5* Best Bet KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 

4* Total Money UNDER Colorado / Arizona State 

Taking NEW MEXICO. Not sure why I waited on this? Guess I could have gotten that early +3, but I think Lobos win outright anyway. UTEP is 5-39 SU last 44 games. Forget they are off a bye week. Does that even matter? Lobos got routed last week by A&M. But you what. They didn't care. They didn't get hurt. They didn't exert themselves. They were waiting for this game. A game they can and will win. 4* Money Maker NEW MEXICO

Taking the NATS. Had them last night, will come back at a much lesser price today. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

4* Total Money UNDER Kansas State/ Oklahoma State

Taking MICHIGAN STATE. What a spot here for Sparty? Foget the fact they are already having a nice little season. We cashed them vs Northwestern. We cashed them vs Miami. And we will go big here vs Nebraska. Now. I had Oklahoma last week in what I thought would be an absolute blow-out. Far from it. In fact, it was a tough pill to swallow if you are a Nebraska fan. Missing 2 FGs and a PAT - a 23-16 loss. Yikes. Just a total flat spot. I mean really. You are facing the Sooners, old-school Big 8 Rival when you guys were always Top 5 teams. Now you have to get off the mat and get pumped to play Michigan State. I don't see it. I think their coach is on the way out. I don't think they will be able to contain this MSU run game. I think their own run game is their QB running for his life. Spartans should win this one by at least 2 TDs. 10* Money Bomb MICHIGAN STATE 

4* Total Money UNDER Marlins./ Rays 

Taking STANFORD here. So we roared with Stanford after their Game 1 debacle vs Kansas State and were rewarded with a double digit dog outright winner. We did fade them last week laying a big road number to Vandy. But, to my surprise, there was no let down and Stanford took care of business. This line has gone up a point since the opener. I guess people think UCLA is 'due' to win since they were upset last week. Well, if they were in a dog roll or shorter favorites, maybe I would consider it. Bu, the Bruins are 1-6-1 ATS last 8 in this series and just 3-8 ATS last 11 trips to Stanford. Last year was a wild 48-47 Stanford OT win. Stanford did lead 20-3 at the half. UCLA took a 34-20 4thQ lead before the Tree tied things up. I don't know if gets that crazy tonight, but I will grab any points with the home team. 4* Money Maker STANFORD

Taking the ASTORS. Had Houston last night. Game hasn't even started - doesn't matter. Will come right back on them today. Only as good as your next pitcher. Ours is pitching to a 2.82 ERA his last 7 starts. The team had won 7 of 10. As I said yesterday, Oakland is reeling right now. And Manaea? Is he the guy that is going to get a win streak going? He has an ERA north of 6 in his last 7 starts. In his last 9 starts, he has give up 4 or more runs in 5 of them. 58 hits in 54 innings the last 2 months and 34 Runs - 10 HRs. Not buying Oakland at all. Especially when I can get a playoff team at basically even money. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking ARKANSAS. This team is a nice surprise for their fans. Line continues to drop. I am not sold on A&M off a big win. Beating New Mexico and not even covering is not a major accomplishment. This team has QB problems for me. Or at least scoring problems overall. However you want to word it. The 10-7 at Colorado should send up alarm bells. That is the same Colorado team that just was blanked 30-0 at home by Minnesota without their star RB! Hogs playing with Wild Boar sized chips on their shoulders right now. We saw them absolutely destroy Texas. 4* Money Maker ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS 

Taking CARDS going RUN LINE. I am no Lester fan. But if the 14 game win streak goes down, I will at least be trying to get a little plus money on it. 4* RL Money STL CARDS 

Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN. Looks like the Western Michigan we thought was going to show up against Michigan showed up against Pitt. Albeit they gave up 6 passing TDs. Good news is San Jose isn't built like. Better news is they get them here at home with Spartans coming in from Hawaii. That is a long haul. Clear body clock edge for the home team. Now the 'let down' factor might be in play but not a lot. San Jose also in off a big road win. Any road win is big for them. Coming into the season, WMU was suppose to contend for the MAC Title. Knocking off a so-so Pitt team is not that far fetched. I liked this guys coming into the year, will take them laying the short number at home. 4* Money Maker WESTERN MICHIGAN 

Taking TCU. Revenge on the plate for this lunch time game on Saturday. SMU knocked these guys off back in 2019. Well, the Horned Frogs have been sitting around their bye week preparing for the Mustangs attack. SMU in off a last second 33 yard TD pass to remain unbeaten. Their QB to no ones surprise who knows a Sonny Dykes offense,  has 16 TD passes through 3 games. But this is a step up. You knocked off big brother last time. Time for little brother to be put in his place. Double Digit win here as the SMU defense is always lack luster. 4* Money Maker TCU 

Taking UTAH STATE. So we have a nice early start time. Right off the bat, a good plus for the home team. Boise I think is in for a long season. I think their coach is in over his head. Now, laying a big chunk to an undefeated on the road. After you just got stymied at home and couldn't do anything offensively? No way. I think this line is a touchdown to high. I won't be shocked one bit if the Aggies win this one outright. These guys are a live dog. They have gone on the road as dogs and won at Washington State and Air Force. Boise whipped a bad UTEP team. I had them against UCF for a miracle cover. Again. Coaching problems. My guy on Utah State loves the dog role and is hungry. 4* Money Maker UTAH STATE 

Taking CENTRAL MICHIGAN. So they are 1-2 on the year and a MAC team is laying double digits. Both losses in SEC play. In fact, last week they flew to the LSU game on game day! Yes. Not much hotel space after the Hurricane roared through town. 35-7 at the half and you're shocked they got 7. That's a tough schedule spot. But are home now, comfy in our surroundings. FIU comes in for a long road trip. A team off back to back losses - lost at home to Texas State and then went to Texas for Texas Tech to rough them up, 54-21. And unlike CMU, they didn't show up from the airport with their luggage. I like Jim McElwain. Butch Davis has lost that Miami U glow a long time ago. 5* Best Bet CENTRAL MICHIGAN 

Taking NORTHWESTERN. We faded these guys last week in one of my videos but will ride them to a cover and a date at the ticket window. This is a nice get right game for the home team. Ohio is an absolute dumpster fire right now. Coming into the season, these guys were poised to be one of the top teams in the MAC. Well - their long time HC abruptly hangs it up, and talent or not, the new guy can't get out of his own way. The players are just responding and maybe the guy standing next to the other guy wasn't the right choice to run the program. Wildcats were down 30-7 at half and rallied to a 30-23 loss. Turnovers hurt. Now they get a taste a victory vs a team that lost at home to Duquesne 28-26, as 28.5 favorites! Duquesne by the way, after trailing TCU 35-0 at the half, talked the Horned Frogs into playing 12 minute 3rd + 4th quarters. Ohio is a mess. If Northwestern doesn't win this by 20 here at home, they will be getting into the dumpster with the Bobcats. 8* Sure Shot NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS 

Taking the ASTROS. What world are we living in that the reeling A's should be favored. 4 straight now after getting swept at home by Seattle. Astros had been clubbing the ball the last few days before we stole a win with the Angels yesterday. Today,  back to the Houston bats taking advantage of bad Oakland pitching. Houston 8-1 last 9 here. Winners in 5 of last 6. Two teams going in completely opposite directions. A's with 6 straight home losses  but are 'do to beat a 90 win team that has owned them lately. Okie dokie. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON ASTROS 

Taking the MARINERS. The little engine that could is still trucking along. Just swept Oakland. 5 in a row - 7 of 10. In the wild-card hunt and enter the Angels who have lost 7 of 10. LAA is bad. I know trust me. I thought they had a shot at the division with the Trout/Ohtani/Rendon offense. Not happening. Much like the San Francisco Giants, Seattle getting zero respect with their lines. That's fine. More value for us. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the TWINS, again. No way the Jays can lose. They have Vlad! They have the old Minny ace facing his old team. This is Toronto's year! Come on. Give me the home dog. Twins have reeled off 3 straight. I don't know, but something tells me there is no way they want to end up in last place. That is a mighty fall from a team some had to win the division. Jays are good. I get it. I am just not laying with them right now. Not betting on losing clubs. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS

Taking SYRACUSE. I think everyone will be grabbing Liberty here. They are now 14-1 (a 1pt loss) and 13-2 ATS their last 15. Tonight, laying less than a touchdown? Not buying it. A little revenge for the Orange as the Flames won last year 38-21. 4* Money Maker SYRACUSE ORANGE 

Taking the NATS. Why wouldn't we fade Cincy at this price? They are mired in a slump. Totally fell out of the wild card race. I don't trust Gray at this price. They have lost 8 of 10 and 16 of 23. And laying another big number. Nats at least still showing some fight winners of 3 straight. Soto MVP ticket alive! 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON NATIONALS 

Taking the INDIANS. Liked them in both double headers yesterday. After the Sox clinched Game 1, easy play on Game 2. But Chicago with a night to celebrate, I think they take off here. Big things ahead for the White Sox. A win today, not important. Will add Cease with a 5 ERA in 15 road starts compared to 3.22 at home in same 15 starts. Just not a good spot. Beiber first game since June 13. A pair of minor league starts going 6 innings 5 hits 4 runs 7 Ks. Again, even off DL where I normally like not playing on a pitcher, in this spot, getting plus money with a happy, fat division champ, will roll the dice. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

Taking the ANGELS. This line opened at Houston -195. Now at 155. Why? Astros with a 29-10 scoring edge this series. I guess after last nights 9-5 extra inning game, LAA is going to break through. Whatever the case is, people a lot smarter than me also think the Angels have a shot. Maybe it is Cobb and his 2.06 ERA last 7 starts. He has a 2.30 ERA in 7 home starts with a .192 BAA and 1.00 WHIP. Worth a shot at this price. 4* Money Maker LA ANGELS 

Taking the TWINS. This line continues to drop and we will grab the home dog. Nobody giving Minny a shot tonight. Jays in off tough series with Rays. Might be a little flat here. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA TWINS 

Taking the GIANTS, again. I have said for the last couple weeks, Darvish is hurt. Just look at the numbers. Terrible. He is either hurt, or was using the sticky. No other explanation. Padres a hot mess all over the place. The field. Dugout. Front office. What a nightmare season after the dream it was thought to be back in April. Oh. San Fran still in 1st place getting zero respect the 3rd week of September.  4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

Taking the MARINERS. No way the A's lose again. We had Seattle and the under all series, not stopping now. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking the MARINERS and the UNDER.  No way the A's lose again. We had Seattle and the under all series, not stopping now. 4* Total Money UNDER Seattle/ Oakland 

Taking the CARDINALS, again. No way the Brewers get swept at home. So what they have lost 4 in a row while St Louis has reeled off 11 straight. Milwaukee is due for a win! Whatever. Wainwright has found the fountain of youth. You keep giving us plus money, we will continue to grab the Red Birds. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS 

Taking the GIANTS, again. Vince Velasquez! I said after the trade deadline, Padres are dead in the water. This team - this team that was suppose to win 95+ games and battle the Dodgers for the NL West. This team, has now lost 4 straight. 8 of 10 and 10 of 13. This team - WILL be under .500 to end the year. No doubt about it. Fade these guys the last 2 weeks of the season. 4* Money Maker SF GIANTS 

Going OVER. Anderson has been brutal lately. Diamondbacks a miserable bullpen. Both teams can hit. Nothing else. 4* Total Money OVER Braves/ Arizona 

Taking SEATTLE. Going for 3 in a row over Oakland, 4 straight overall. Seattle still fighting for their Wild Card lives. A's in a funk after a 5 game win streak over Angels and Royals. Will also be on the UNDER here as Seattle has gone Under in 4 of 5 and Oakland Under also in 4 of 5. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking SEATTLE. Going for 3 in a row over Oakland, 4 straight overall. Seattle still fighting for their Wild Card lives. A's in a funk after a 5 game win streak over Angels and Royals. Will also be on the UNDER here as Seattle has gone Under in 4 of 5 and Oakland Under also in 4 of 5. 4* Total Money UNDER Seattle/ Oakland 

Taking the CARDINALS. Let's keep thinking a team is ready to lose and fade them- getting plus money to boot! If you want to bet on Milwaukee thinking since they lost 3 in a row, no way they lose again at home, knock yourself out. 4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS 

Taking TAMPA. Will be honest. Have had losers in this series. Jays Game 1. Rays yesterday. But will look at Tampa to take the series here. Will also be looking at the Under in this one. But give me the Rays with Patino. A bullpen day for Toronto, we have the edge on the mound. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

4* Money Maker SF GIANTS 

Taking the MARINERS. Our guy Marco has really turned things around. Absolute dyno-mite lately! 2.84 ERA last  7, 5 wins, a .92 WHIP. And, that is with a 2 so so starts his last 3. Vs Oakland this year, 3 starts 15.2 innings, 12 hits 6 Earned 12 Ks 3 Walks. Not bad. Blackburn not much of track record with just 6 starts so far. He is pitching to a .302 BAA at home and .316 on the year. Again, limited sample size with 36 hits in 27.1 innings of work. Just 18Ks to go with 7 Walks. He isn't going deep, we know that. Hasn't finished a 5th inning yet. The A's bullpen a bit sketchy for sure.  4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS

Taking TAMPA. Had Robbie Ray and the Jays last night. Tonight. Rasmussen on the menu. Guy has been solid since coming out of the bullpen. 7 starts. 30 innings 18 hits 5 Earned 21Ks 5 walks. We know the Rays don't let guys go deep. But I will gladly take his 5 innings 3 hits 1 run ball tonight. Let's add in Manoah is off a total gem vs the Rays a week ago. 8 innings 1 hit 10K ball. He had been giving up some runs prior. On the road his last 3 starts, 15.1 innings 16 hits 12 Earned. On the year, 4.34 road ERA 9 starts (2.47 at home 8 starts). 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY RAYS 

Taking the BRAVES, going RUN LINE. Ynoa has been decent. For me thought, just fading the DBacks. 3-7 last 10, while Atlanta is battling Philly down to the wire for the NL East. I can't lay the 190 - this was actually 168 last night I saw as an opener. Have to think the Braves push across a few runs here. 4* RL Money ATLANTA BRAVES

Taking the PIRATES. I think we can put the fork in Cincy. Line has come down 20 cents overnight. And why not? Reds have dropped 7 of 10, 10 of 15 and 14 of 20. I'll take a shot on Pitt here. They took 2 of 3 from Cincy just a week ago. In fact - Pirates have won their last 4 series taking 2 of 3 from Miami, Cincy, Washington and Detroit. 4* Money Maker PITT PIRATES 

Taking the BLUE JAYS. I do like the Rays. And getting them as a dog is never not something I want to do. But right now, this offense is really rolling along. And - Robbie Ray. My guy. I remember back in Arizona he had some nice seasons. He has been absolutely dealing and no chance I fade him. The line might look a bit low, but that is really because of how good Tampa is. 4* Money Maker TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Taking the CHIEFS. Had these guys last week. Couldn't get it done. Slow start and we paid for it. Chiefs have owned Baltimore in the past. I don't see this changing much. They are really beat on offense. I won't be shocked at a Raiders win on MNF over the Ravens. I actually took Vegas +140 FH. Again. Ravens on offense, a mess. KC offense, well you see what they can do. I don't think this line gets any lower. Will only go up, especially if Baltimore lays an egg Monday night. I will grab KC early at this price. 5* Best Bet KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 

Taking the TITANS. Oh how bad did these guys look last week. Totally cost us a play on the over. We did cash Seattle and the Under in their game. I just feel that Tennessee is much better than what they showed last week. Might take a bite of the over 52.5 here also. I think this is going to be a back and forth game. Seattle is good for either being down, and coming back. Or being up, and allowing teams to score. Give me Tennessee to bounce back off their game and maybe even pull an outright win here. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS

Going OVER the total. Dallas with extra rest here. Can't hurt Dak's arm. Guy was said to have a 'tired shoulder' in pre-season. Coach lets him throw the ball 47 times. The same as the 2nd year starter for the Chargers! Have to love coaches who want to chuck it up and down the field. Especially when one team has a terrible defense. Chargers defense ok,  but I don't see them holding the Cowboys offense in check. Shoot out in LA. 4* Total Money OVER Dallas/ Chargers 

Taking the COWBOYS. Nothing like extra rest and prep time for a road trip. Dallas at home, tricky betting as favorites. On the road though, sign me up. I expect this game to be a shoot-out. We have the OVER 52.5 in this one. I can't say anything bad about the Chargers. They went on the road and beat, who I think, has the best defense in the NFC. I like the DL of Washington a bunch. But the Chargers escape with a win- albeit vs a backup QB as Fitzmagic got hurt. Dak is much better than those guys, and the Cowboys offense is electric. What we need for the outright win here is for the coach to stop with his bonehead decision making. A lot of times I just go ML on games like this, but Dallas is Dallas. Take the FG here. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Braves/ Giants 

4* Money Maker STL CARDINALS 

4* Money Maker SEATTLE MARINERS 

Taking SAN FRAN. Got a win at the right number last week with these guys. What an epic meltdown. No way the coach stands for that this week. Let's be honest. Eagles played way over their heads - and the Falcons did me no favors as I backed them. But is Philly that good, or is Atlanta just a hot mess. I am leaning more to the second. Back to San Fran. They were cruising. We see what happens when you take your foot off the case. A couple lucky plans and you barely get out of town with a win. NFC West clearly the best division in football. No time for mistakes or bad losses. 5* Best Bet SAN FRANCISCO 49ers 

Going UNDER the total. Cleveland a run first team. A very good defense. Texans were a nice win for a last week. But this isn't Jax. Browns a team with Super Bowl dreams. Defense will overwhelm Houston. 4* Total Money UNDER Houston/Browns

Going UNDER the total. Jaguars are bad. Denver brings a solid defense. We know defense travels. Teddy B a nice covering machine when he starts. But the line is a bit too big for my liking. I don't see the Jags getting 20 points today. Broncos aren't a monster offense. For me, defense makes this team go. 4* Total Money UNDER Denver/ Jags

Taking the PATRIOTS. I see 3.5s up to 5. I will lay a little extra money if I have to 120/130. Obviously I think the Patriots are going to win this one by double digits. If I take a favorite, I am thinking blowout. When I take a dog, I think we are winning outright. I had New England last week. Tough loss. 1 of 4 in the red zone. A turnover 2 FGs. That won't cut it. The defense is good. We knew that. And now it gets to face a rookie QB. Did we see the Jets offense last Sunday? I won't be shocked if this game gets to 6 or 7. I think people will be hammering Patriots off a loss. In this spot, I think it is warranted. I would say, if NE was in off beating Miami, maybe I would think of grabbing the home dogs. But everything is week to week in NFL. And this one checks all my boxes for a huge blowout win. 10* Money Bomb NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE

Taking ARIZONA STATE. I faded BYU and it cost me last week. But, as a dog outright winner in the Holy War, this game has let-down written all over it. Rushing the field. All the non-sense that goes with beating a big rival. Well, Arizona State sleep walked in their game last week. This is a big game for them and I expect QB Daniels to be sharp. Also, the defense coming off a nice game, (UNLV so does that count?), but gives them some momentum here. I'll lay the short number. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA STATE 

Taking UAB. These guys are the class of CUSA. I thought maybe they would hang with Georgia. Looking back on it. I should have figured they would take the pay day and get ready for their conference opener. A nasty loss on paper for them, but they should take it out here on Mean Green. 4* Money Maker UAB BLAZERS 

Going OVER the total. Carrasco with a ERA north of 6 in his last 7 starts. He'll give up 3 or so runs in 5 innings of work. Then we get Nola who is having a bad year. Again, an ERA of nearly 5 in his last few starts. It is mid September, he isn't turning into 2018 Nola. He is 5.55 ERA on the road in 16 starts Nola. He does have decent numbers vs the Mets this year. But I think we get some runs. I know the Mets offense can go missing, but these two guys don't deserve a 7.5 total. 4* Total Money OVER Phillies/ Mets 

Taking the CARDINALS, going RUN LINE. Looking for the big day here. Fading away on Darvish. I have said this before - I think this guy is getting surgery in the offseason. He does not look right at all. 7.86 ERA last 7 starts. And just getting shelled on the road. 8 runs in 4 innings last start in San Fran. 6 runs in 2.2 in Arizona. Again in Arizona 5 runs in 2.2. His last 8 starts he has give up 4 or more in 6 of those games. Put a fork in San Diego. Wainwright though has found the fountain of youth. A 1.24 ERA his last 7! Are you kidding me. Guy has given up more than 3 runs just once in his last 11 starts. 4* RL Money STL CARDINALS 

Going OVER the total. Spencer Howard has been absolutely bombed since coming over from Philly. 5 starts for Texas. 11.81 ERA and most of the damage, here at home - 3 home starts. 5.2 innings 14 hits 14 earned runs. I think the Sox go over themselves. Anything the Rangers muster off Lynn is a bonus. 4* Total Money OVER Sox/Rangers

Taking EASTERN MICHIGAN. Don't be fooled by the UMass score last week. BC played with a back up QB, and the team threw just 18 times. They also lost 2 fumbles. This is a bad team. EMU comes in off playing Wiscy. That is like your 14 year playing varsity and now playing in U10 rec league. Eagles should get it done by 3 TDs here. 4* Money Maker EASTERN MICHIGAN EAGLES 

Taking FLORIDA STATE. I'll be honest. Part of me wants to grab Wake here. And if the Seminoles held on last week, that is exactly what I would be doing. Now, we had FSU against Notre Dame. That is a tough loss. You are going to play down off that kind of game with an ACC foe on deck. But to lose like that to Jacksonville State. Yikes. That just makes this one a more of the 'circle the wagons' type game. Make no mistake. This is a 'Must Win' game for the coach and team. FSU is 7-1 SU/ 5-2 ATS last 7 in the series. I am hoping for the outright, but will settle for a cover. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE 

Taking BAYLOR. Kansas couldn't get in a 27pt road back door last week while not committing a turnover. And we think they are going to stay within 4 TDs of Baylor. Heck, we don't even need that from the Bears. But I think that is what we will get from them. Baylor has covered 9 straight in the series with an average score of 49-10. 4* Money Maker BAYLOR BEARS 

Taking NOTRE DAME. I think the Irish win this one by double digits. This line is a joke in my eyes. Do we forget that Notre Dame was up nearly 20 points vs Florida State. That was a tough place to play that night with Bowden stuff going on. A  hungry home dog. They took the punches and won the game. Here at home vs the Boilermakers. This is Purdue. A team I think is one of the bottom 3 teams in the Big 10, I mean Big 14. I understand that everyone is going to be on Purdue here. I see it already. Notre Dame defense bad. Can't stop people. I think this is a big overreaction. Normally I am an Irish fade guy, but something tells me the little green guy gets it done today. 5* Best Bet NOTRE DAME 

Taking INDIANA. How many people will see Cincy, ranked in the Top laying the short number and jump on it? Honestly. When I see an AAC team favored over the Big 10 I really want to grab the road favorite. But this isn't say UCF over ACC Louisville. Cincy is a team that has been beating on the Jan 1 Bowl Game Doors for awhile now. This is a pretty good program. The home dog gets the call for me though. We have a tough QB and a decent defense. I can't see this being a blow-out. This is a one possession game with whoever has the ball last probably kicking a FG to win it. 4* Money Maker INDIANA HOOSIERS 

Taking OKLAHOMA. Nothing I have seen from Nebraska makes me think they can stay within this number. The offense is sloppy and erratic. Sooners can write in any score they want to and get to it. Let's be honest. The alumni will want to see Oklahoma run it up here. They coach will know exactly what these guys are betting on their old school. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS

4* RL Money TAMPA BAY RAYS 

Taking the INDIANS. Who the heck are the Yankees to be favored like this right now? Am I missing something? Are they rolling along 8 games ahead, leading the AL East? Uh. No, they aren't they are 4th place 9 games back of Tampa and a half game back in the Wild Card. And Kluber. Please. Don't get me started. This guy gets off the DL and promptly goes 4 innings 5 hits 5 runs - 3.2 innings 4 hits 2 runs - 4 innings 5 hits 4 runs. Safe to say he goes 4 and gives up 3 tonight. He has 2 great starts this season. And has been average or worse every where else. If you take out those 2 gems, he has actually pitched more than 5 innings in just 3 other games. 13 starts, 5 games with 5 complete innings! But yeah, he will come out fire tonight. Give me the Indians with Plesac who has been decent all season. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND INDIANS 

4* Money Maker HAMILTON 

Taking OHIO. Oh man. I had these guys pegged out of the gate vs Syracuse and they laid an egg. Then they lose outright to Duquesne as 28pt favorites! Yikes. But this is too many points to pass up. Lafayette was a team that everyone loved in Week 1 vs Texas. They didn't cover. Then last week, not an outright loser, but a 27-24 win as 26pt favorites? If you want to give up 4th quarter touchdowns, then wonderful, leave that back-door open for the Bobcats. 4* Money Maker OHIO BOBCATS 

Taking TAMPA, going RUN LINE. For me. Better team to get it done here. Not much to report on the pitchers. Rays are good. Should beat up the overachieving Tigers. 4* RL Money TAMPA BAY RAYS 

Taking the GIANTS, going RL. Padres got a win last night, but will find it slow going today. Giants continue to chug along. 4* RL Money SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS 

Going UNDER the total. Are we to believe that the Reds are just going to start hitting today? They have gone 3-6-1 Under their last 10 and 12-6-1 to the Under last 19. Enter Mahle who is much better on road 1.97 ERA, than at home (6.00). 4* Total Money UNDER Reds/ Pirates
