Going UNDER the total here. Citi Field in January. Should be a blast. I don't think it will be 20 degrees. Really interested to see the fan turnout for this. I just have to think Under. Not the usual rink for these guys. I know it is hockey. I know it is suppose to be cold. But this Only twice in the 9 Winter Classic Games played has this total gone over 5.5 - There were 2 that ended at 5 goals. 4* Total Money UNDER Sabres/ Rangers 

Going OVER the total here. Won't be shocked if we are over 50 by halftime today. UCF will put up some points. I think Auburn will get 40+. Look. We can sit here and say, oh, Auburn mails it in. They were a game away from the playoffs. And I can't blame you for that thinking. But then they get a match-up vs the only undefeated team. I think that will peak their interest. Again. Yes, they beat then #1 Georgia, and then #1 Alabama. But playing an undefeated team, even from the AAC will get their attention. Scott Frost and all the assistants stayed on to complete the 13-0 season. We know they will all-in here. Slaying an SEC team? A team that beat a pair of #1 ranked teams. Heck. That is a nice trophy to hang their hats on their. This game has absolute 45-44 thriller written all over it. Or the Tigers absolutely mail it in and get throttled 47-13. I am betting on a wild shoot-out. 5* Best Bet OVER Auburn/ Central Florida 

Going UNDER here. South Carolina fired their OC. Have a young QB. Facing a tough Michigan defense. Michigan gets its best QB back. Though how rusty or at least a little out of sync will he be since he hasn't thrown a pass in a game since a loss to Wiscy on November 18th. 4* Total Money UNDER South Carolina/ Michigan

Going UNDER the total in the Alamodome. Maybe I'm a giant sucker. But the only way I see this game going over is if we get a 20-20 tie and trade scores in OT. We know that Stanford is going to pound the ball and try to run all game with Love. TCU is an under machine, 10 of their last 13. Paterson always has a tough defense. The holding teams to under 100ypg rushing should be taken with a grain a salt since they face some air-raid attacks in the Big 12. But what can't be overlooked is that 5 teams had season low yards vs them. And all teams, had over a 100 yards per game less facing TCU then their season averages. 4* Total Money UNDER Stanford/ TCU 

4* Total Money OVER Missouri / Texas

Going UNDER the total here. Someday's you really like the games. Other days, not so much. I guess you can back Utah and their 10-1 SU HC in his last 11 bowl games. I guess you can back K-State and their 78 HC, who may or may not retire at years end. I wouldn't even argue if you wanted to grab UCLA on the ML. But as our sole Tuesday bowl action selection, I think we have a nice winner on tap. So NIU brings a pretty decent defense to the game, but the offense leaves a lot to liked. The Duke defense ranks a bit better, but their offense is even behind NIU. If this game goes to OT, we are in trouble - Because every other scenario that I have sees this play out to the teams rarely even scoring a combined 45. 4* Total Money UNDER Duke/ Northern Illinois 

Going UNDER the total tonight. Where the heck is any motivation for the Raiders? 3000 miles from home. 30 degrees. Cold, miserably Philly on Christmas night. It's reported that Del Rio has a 50/50 shot at coming back next year. I see this playing into a 24-10, 27-14 type affair. 4* Total Money UNDER Raiders/ Eagles

Going OVER the total in St Pete. Could have made a play in FIU also. Like the dog catching points. Not much travel for them. First bowl in years. You know they are coming to play. Butch Davis will have the crew ready. Temple with a lot to prove as they are at 6-6. Clearly moving the needle lately as Nutile has been solid behind center with 9TDs and just 2 picks down the stretch. So they are playing to be over .500 for their first year HC. So both 1st year HCs with much to prove. It might get ugly at times. But I think both teams surpass 30. If things really break in our favor, this could be over in the 3rd quarter for us. 4* Total Money OVER Temple/ FIU

4* Total Money OVER Marshall/ Xavier

Going OVER the total here. Will tell you that I will have Mid Ten St on the ML as my free pick video play today. Just think we see some offense. As i backed off Boise and made it a no play saying to buy on Oregon. Much of the same to that move applies here. The QB play. Ducks were getting back a guy who led them to a fast start. On top of the fact the players all wanted this coach. So that changes things dramatically. Here, we get Stockstill back behind center. 144 points scored in his last 4 games back. Red Wolves bring their 6th best passing offense to the field. They won't meet much resistance from MDTNST defense that has a grand total of 8 takeaways in 12 games. 4( Total Money OVER Mid Tenn/ Ark St

Going OVER the total here in New Orleans. Right off the bat I will shocked if Troy doesn't put up at least 44 themselves. This North Texas defense is a poor bunch. 96th in Total Defense. 106th in points allowed. 113th in forced turnovers. Mean Green most likely without their top RB in Wilson. That being said, they have a pretty good QB in Fine who was CUSA first teamer. Troy also brings an experienced QB behind center. I just think we see closer to 70 here than 60. 4* Total Money OVER North Texas/ Troy

Going UNDER the total tonight. Alright. As I write this we could be looking at nice 6-0 day of NFL action if the Ravens, up 31-20 right now, hold on for us +5. That being said. Still a nice December run as we are 12-1 in the month heading to that Sunday night game. I'm going to tell you that I am 11-12 on my totals this NFL season. But I can't lay double digits on the road, and I can't get in front of this NE beast. And what really sets this team apart lately is their defense. Remember how we said Pats were done after opening the year 0-2 at home. Blowing a lead to KC. Having to score in the final seconds to beat a rookie QB at home against the Texans. Letting Carolina drop 33 on them at home. The defense was terrible. Well. In 8 games since they haven't allowed more than 17 points. They have really turned it up lately. 3-8-16 points allowed their last 3 road games. As I said in our Ravens write up. Big game on deck vs Steelers up next for NE. Do we think this team is pulling out all the stops here? They show up and win by 10 just going through the motions. I think Gase is out this year. The Cutler job was brutal. Yeah. They exploded for 35 last week vs Denver. 2 defensive TDs and 2 safeties. Do you like those chances against Brady? I think Miami still has a decent defense. So I don't think NE gets to the mid-30s. And I can't see Miami getting more than 20. 4* Total Money UNDER Pats/ Dolphins 

4* Total Money OVER Wolves/ Grizzlies 

Going OVER the total here. So. Both these guys on regular rest as they both played on Thanksgiving. Redskins pulled out an ugly win. Cowboys laid an egg in ugly loss. Never have I been a fan of Jason Garrett. Guy is trash. We have all seen the outscored by 72-6 in 2nd half last 3 games. But the guy is a terrible coach. People want to rip Romo. Man. If the guy had a coach who could game plan maybe he would have won a playoff game. Instead, you sent Romo out there to win it on his talent. Well. Dak isn't Romo. And when you have a banged up OL and no RB, it doesn't matter who is behind center, you are in trouble. The defense has been leaky for umpteenth years. Whatever limited hope for a wild-card berth is there, both 5-6 teams will be, safe to say, desperate tonight. I nearly went Redskins. I can see Cousins to Doctson for 3 TDs today. 4* Total Money OVER Redskins/ Cowboys

Going OVER the total in MACaction tonight. When I see a couple of poor teams get together, I think over. Add in a weekday game for these smaller schools and it really gets my attention. BG has given up 48 in each of their last 2 games, both at home. Kent is averaging 10.. 10! points a game this year. Putrid. But I am an against the grain kind of guy. So I see 34-30 game tonight. 4* Total Money OVER Bowling Green/ Kent

Going OVER the total here. What is there to say? As much as I want to back the Cowboys, I had them last week and still think they are the Big 12's best team, I just can't see them stopping West Va. Grier can and will move the ball here. Back to back 5 TD pass games. Who is going to be shocked at 34-28 at halftime? The big play ability for the Pokes is very dynamic. They can get huge runs or catches. A lot of ways to score here. 4* Total Money OVER

Going OVER here. Have to say. This looks a bit too easy for me. Can't see how this doesn't sail over 60. This kid Ferguson can chuck it. 19 TDs on the year. He has a legit NFL WR in Miller who has hauled in 9 TDs. Let's not forget that their defense is prone to give up some points. Houston can score. Short week or not, I expect some points in this big AAC battle. 4* Total Money OVER

Taking the UNDER here. This is either the easiest play on the board or going to be a what was I thinking taking the low hanging fruit. Pats defense is crap. Ok. But has anyone seen the Panthers offense? 23-9-13 points. I guess the thinking is they gave up 34 at home to Brees. Brady will score 44 at home. For me, Cam is still hurt or working through his injury. He is down his best target. Can't see the Pats struggling much longer. 30-10 is still a beating. 4* Total Money UNDER

Going UNDER the total tonight. Cashed in this spot last Thursday, and will do it again here. We get 2 teams, 2 teams that are, and let's be honest, not very good. A pair of teams with a 2nd year QB and another one with a journeymen. A pair of teams with new HCs. A pair of teams who will probably rely on their RBs to generate the offense. And finally, a pair of teams that have decent defenses. I think the SF defense has been very good so far this year. Rams have been ok. SO on the short week, with run heavy type O's, I have to lean under. 5 of the last 6 of these have gone under this posted today. And it would have been 6 straight if San Fran didn't score with 30 seconds left. 4* Total Money UNDER Rams/Niners

4* Total Money UNDER Brewers/Pirates

Going UNDER the total here. We saw how bad the Giants offense is without ODB last week. But what people fail to realize is that even with him, they can't even score more than 20 points a game. NYG hasn't done that since last August! I believe the New York D is probably the best in the NFC East and arguably one of the Top 5 in all of the NFL. I think the Lions will have some problems here tonight. Dome team outside. Just one of those things like having the Bears over the Falcons in Week 1. Lions defense is nothing to write home about. So the Giants will put up some scores. But I think we are looking at a something like 23-13 tonight. 4* Total Money UNDER Lions/Giants

4* Total Money OVER A's/Phillies

Going UNDER the total. Cincy now under in 20 of their last 28. Texans have a pretty good defense off a bad game. Their QB situation is terrible which will aid the cause tonight. Rookie QB on a short week. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, I guess he can throw 3 INTs and 2 go for TDs. Then we will be pulling for a 31-3 final. That being said. Bengals offense was turnover prone last week. I think we get an improved effort tonight. They can't start 0-2 at home. At 3,3.5 Cincy would have been a play. But this line has shot up and I have to think we see another low scoring affair. 4* Total Money UNDER 

4* Total Money UNDER Giants/Cowboys

4* Total Money OVER  Oklahoma Sate / South Alabama 

Going UNDER the total here. Vols with extra prep time for the triple option. That is huge to start a year. Not like getting ready for it in a week. GT also lost it's leading rushing from last year. They will still move the ball, but the clock will churn. Tennessee breaking in new QBs. Never a recipe for an offensive explosion. Just see a low scoring game with the first team to 24 winning. 4* Total Money UNDER Vols/Tech

4* Total Money OVER Rays/Royals

Going OVER the total here. So Rich Hill has a perfect game through 9. Loses the no-no on HR bottom 10. Trevor Williams with an 8 inning shut out, and the bullpen holds LA scoreless for 2 more. And that is why I am on the OVER. It is just one of those things for me. I see 2 teams totally dominated by pitching one day and feel there is a 4-4 game in the 3rd on tap. Ryu has a 3.19 ERA on the road. Kuhl with a 4.88 ERA at home. We will see some runs from these teams today. 4* Total Money OVER Dodgers/Pirates 

Going OVER the total here. And how can we not? Homer Bailey has an ERA of 14.33 in 4 home starts. He has given up 6,8,2,10  in those 16 innings. I would normally say, hey, he gave up 6 runs and 5 walks in his last start against these same Chicago Cubs. He will be better this time around. Well he did that while striking out 10 in 5+ innings. So when he wasn't striking out a guy he was walking one and then giving up an RBI. He has gone over 100 pitches in 2 straight. He only had 69 in a 3rd August start because he gave up 10 runs 3.1 innings. 18 runs, all earned in his last 3 games, 14 innings, 14 walks and 18 Ks. A 2 + WHIP and a BAA of over .355! On to Lackey who has been at least a little respectable compared to Homer.  7-5 4.85 ERA 12 road starts isn't awful. Reds have gone over in 12 of their last 15. These series went over 3 of 4 barely a week ago with 2 games pushing across 20 and 23 runs. Maybe this is one of those, well it looks to easy games. So be it. I am on board. 4* Total Money OVER Cubs/Reds 

Going UNDER the total here. 100% Certain that these guys play on 9/24. Not a chance that the Pats put out any kind of plays. Whenever I see team matched up in preseason and they meet in the regular season. It is always an auto play on the UNDER. When it is a coach like 'The Hoodie', fuhgedaboutit. Pats will get their wheels going next Week 3. For this one. I don't see them cracking 10 points. 8* Sure Shot UNDER Patriots/Texans 

Going OVER the total here. Reds have gone over in 11 of their last 13. This team packs a lot of pop, with 5 players crushing 20 or more HRs this year. And another going to get their with 17. Teheran has been terrible this year at home sporting a 1-8 record in 12 starts and 7.07 ERA as opposing hitters are hitting nearly .290 off him. Robert Stephenson has pitched primarily in the pen as this is just his 4th start of the year, 18th total appearance. You can say, well, his 6.64 ERA is skewed from a bad start. Not really. 5 in 5.1, 3 in 4.2 and 1 in 5.2 isn't really get hammered. In 4 of his 13 relief spots he gave up 3,5,4 and 7. 11 walks in his 3 starts over those 15+ innings. Those will help put runs on the board. 10 HRs in just 42 innings. 1.79 WHIP. This game should be at 10 runs by the 5th inning. 4* Total Money OVER Reds/Braves

Going UNDER the total. I guess the easy thing to do here would be to fade KC since they are a little 0-14 ATS run in Preseason Week 2s. But I think the UNDER holds the real value. We know that Marvin Lewis wants a better effort from his starters. They had a bend don't break game vs TB. But the coach is looking for better tackling. At home, I like the chances of a good overall defensive effort. Enter Andy Reid who says that the Chiefs are looking to run the ball in this game. 13 rushing attempts and 21 yards from your RB corps won't win you many games in any season. So the run game will churn the clock. The home team is looking to swarm on defense and tackle better. And we want nary a point. 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/Bengals 

Going UNDER the total here. Houston in a slide the last couple weeks. The offense is sputtering along. Peacock has been a strike out machine. 112Ks in 88+ innings. Banda has 3 starts under his belt, and though not with overwhelming numbers. He does have 16Ks in 15+ innings so he misses bats. So we have a pair of guys who can K their way out of jams. Offenses missing some pop. (Correa, McCann, Gattis, Peralta) An afternoon getaway day game. I'm in. 4* Total Money UNDER Houston/Arizona 

Going UNDER the total here. This is one of those days where I really can't find things I love. Some days, we get 3 or 4 even 5 games to cash on. Other times we are cherry picking. Now, you know right off the bat I am crossing out huge faves unless I see something with a dog. Again, not much for the taking for me today. We can look for regression plays on some guys, but the value on the opposing team isn't worth it. (Tigers Even) We can look to cash on a nice total trend. (Over Brewers 13-3-1 L17)  - That being said, I really just like this UNDER between the Angels and Mariners. Bridwell has been very effective for LAA in his 10 starts. He has a fantastic 1.80 road ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and a tidy .182 BA against along with a 2.76 ERA his last 5 starts. Seattle youngster Ariel Miranda counters with a strong 4-0 mark with a 2.61 ERA career vs the Angels. In 11 home starts he sports a .96 WHIP and .199 BA against. Let's close out this winning week strong! 4* Total Money UNDER Angels/ Mariners 

Going OVER the total. Over 11-2-1 last 14 in Milwaukee. Over 5-1 last 6 in the series. Nelson has gone 7-1-1 over his last 9 starts vs the Reds. Homer has gone 7-3 over his last 10 starts vs the Brewers. The Reds have cashed 5 straight overs. Their bullpen is terrible. Homer Bailey has a 8.86 ERA on the year. Only 5.47 on the road (14.33 at home) but hitters are slapping him with a .321 BA against and his 13K / 10BB ratio is wonderful for his 1.71 WHIP. Jimmy Nelson has been great at home with a 2+ ERA and 1.93 ERA vs Cincy this year. I just expect some runs. 4* Total Money OVER Reds/Brewers 

4* Total Money UNDER Broncos/Bears

4* Total Money UNDER Saints/Browns 

Going OVER the total here. For whatever it's worth. Carolina's Ron Rivera has gone over 5 straight Game 1s in NFLX.  Just think that Texans QBs are going to come out throwing. Savage and Weeden have NFL experience. One of them will get some extended time. I liked Watson in college. I think if he gets time vs back-ups, he will have success. Cam Newton won't play. Anderson is the #2 and will get a short look. I always like Joe Webb in preseason. He is good for some excitement. Not sure if Garrett Gilbert even plays. I am sure he was just signed with Cam being banged up. 4* Total Money OVER Texans/Panthers 

Going OVER the total here. I know these guys have been playing under the last week and a half. But I gotta look to the over in this spot. One. We have Odorizzi coming off the DL. Any other TB pitcher and we would be on the Rays vs Porcello. But back to Odorizzi. He will give up runs. He has allowed 15HRs here at home. His ERA in 4.63 in those 10 starts. He has had 1 start in his last 9 where he has given up fewer than 3 runs. The guy, when he was going good, will give up 3 in 5 innings. And we know Tampa has some bullpen issues. Onto Porcello. This guy was 22-4 last year. Cy Young winner. 22-4 to 5-14. Wonder if a reigning Cy Young winner, a 20 game winner, ever followed it with a 20 loss season? He has cleaned things up a bit but still sports some average to ugly splits. I look for some offense tonight. 4* Total Money OVER Sox/Rays 

4* Total Money OVER Brewers/Twins 

4* Total Money UNDER DBacks/Giants

4* Total Money UNDER Padres/Pirates

Going UNDER the total here. Man. These Royals just keep on rolling along. I didn't play them last night. Not because I think Price is good. He was scratched. But I just didn't like Vargas vs Price. But I would have taken a swing on him vs Porcello at +130. Problem is that some of these pitching changes happen late in the day when packages are already up. Eh. Moving on. Cahill has been pretty darn good for SD this year and I like that KC is a buyer. I think he holds the Sox in check. Boston hasn't been hitting all that well this month. Not sure which Rodriguez shows up. He hasn't done much since coming off the DL. But he has nice home splits which could slow down this KC attack. 4* Total Money UNDER 

Going OVER the total here. Tough day yesterday as the Rays were pummeled and the Phillies scratched the bad pitcher I thought we were going to face. And speaking of bad pitchers, well hello Yovani Gallardo! I have said before how much I loved this guy on the Brewers. He was a solid money maker for a few years. But man oh man, time has been unkind. Last time we faded him we talked about his 5- ERA last year 23 starts and it has continued, and actually risen this season. A 6.02 home ERA. Mets are going to scores some runs this afternoon. And even though deGrom has been dealing his last 8 starts, the road has been unkind. He gave up 4 at STL to start the month. To start June he gave up 8 at Texas. His only road start between those against the feeble Giants. 8 innings 4 hits 1 earned. He gave up 2 earned to the Padres last time out. But the Mariners have better bats. His real dominance has been at home. The road record is there, 6-1 in 10 starts. But a 4.34 ERA and 14 HRs allowed make me believe Seattle can notch some runs here. Again. I am under the belief that Gallardo is giving up 5 runs by the 4th inning. You would think the Mets would approach this total on their own. As well as Jacob has been, I think we are looking at a 4-4 game by the 5th. 4* Total Money OVER Mets/ Mariners
