11-13-21	Monmouth +5 v. Towson		79-71	Win	100	24 h 59 m	Show
Taking MONMOUTH. Maybe its the Jersey in me, but I like me some King Rice. This is always a tough program. Getting points, sign me up. 4* Money Maker MONMOUTH
11-13-21	Youngstown State v. SE Missouri State -6		97-79	Loss	-108	24 h 42 m	Show
Taking SE MISSOURI STATE. Didn't play the Penguins as 17 point dogs in their 75-59 loss to Penn State. SEMST comes in off a big win over Missouri State as nearly the same big dog (16) as Youngstown. Let down. I don't think so. Not a big number. And Youngstown is still pretty raw. They scored 59 vs PSU and SE is probably going to want to push it like last game. Penguins shot 39% from the floor, 22-56 and 42% from 3 (10-24). The made a little push and to get within 8 with 6 to play and still nearly lost by 20. PSU shot 6-30 from 3. I think this is a 10pt win for the home team. 4* Money Maker SE MISSOURI STATE
11-13-21	St. Peter's +14 v. St. John's		70-91	Loss	-110	22 h 35 m	Show
4* Money Maker St. PETERS
11-13-21	Purdue +21 v. Ohio State		31-59	Loss	-110	42 h 27 m	Show
Taking PURDUE. Have to grab the big dogs here. 18-7 ATS run as dogs with 10 outright wins with this HC. How about 7-1 ATS as double digit dogs with 2 more outrights. Big number for Ohio State Michigan State, then Michigan on deck. And where is the respect of Purdue. Still unranked after knocking off 2 Top 5 teams! Now, OSU isn't Michigan State or Iowa. A much better team and program. No covers last two games for Buckeyes. Boilermakers bring enough defense to get it done. 4* Money Maker PURDUE BOILERMAKERS
11-13-21	Georgia v. Tennessee +20.5	Top	41-17	Loss	-110	70 h 50 m	Show
Taking TENNESSEE. Vols will come out throwing like they always do. This is the best offense that the Bulldogs will see. We have been multiple times this season and have cashed several tickets. This is not one of them. Way too big a number with what the Vols can do offensively. Back-door wide open. But honestly, I won't be shocked if this is closer to a 7-10pt game with a small chance of an outright upset. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS
11-13-21	Minnesota +5.5 v. Iowa		22-27	Win	100	42 h 8 m	Show
Taking MINNESOTA. Another unbelievable loss for this team. Bowling Green at home and now the Illiini - both as huge faves. But, like winning 4 in a row, expect the unexpected. Iowa can turn teams over. But they can't score from the 8 yard line. Oh maybe they can. But I will take any points with Minny here. These guys can still win the Big 10 West! 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA
11-13-21	UAB +4.5 v. Marshall		21-14	Win	100	42 h 5 m	Show
4* Money Maker UAB
11-13-21	UL-Lafayette v. Troy +7		35-21	Loss	-115	42 h 4 m	Show
4* Money Maker TROY
11-13-21	Howard v. Bradley -7.5		76-64	Loss	-110	20 h 42 m	Show
Taking BRADLEY. Howard played 5 games and called it quits last December going 1-4. They are 2-0. They beat the District of Columbia Firebirds. Not sure if that is an over 40 rec league team. Howard shot 4-23 from 3 in a 87-59 win - then beat Regents University 118-54. Shot much better overall 59%. But, just cause you paste University on something doesn't mean it's a real school. Bradley at least had a full 12-15 season. They are in off a loss to South Dakota State. Jackrabbits a tough Summit team. Braves get right at home and eat some Bison for a late lunch. 4* Money Maker BRADLEY BRAVES
11-13-21	Air Force +14.5 v. Tulsa		59-58	Win	100	19 h 37 m	Show
4* Money Maker AIR FORCE
11-13-21	Syracuse +3 v. Louisville		3-41	Loss	-105	40 h 5 m	Show
Taking SYRACUSE. 8-1 ATS run this season and in off their bye week. Basically saved Dino's job and need this one for a bowl bid. 5-4 but with those brutal losses to Florida State, Wake and Clemson. And they still come out fighting. Speaking of tough losses, hello Louisville. Fresh off 30-24 loss to the Tigers. Up 24-17 entering the 4th. 24-20. 3 and out. 27-24. 4 and out 30-24. Talk about letting one slip away. Friday November 20 of last year, UL blanked SU on tv. Payback Orange. 4* Money Maker SYRACUSE
11-13-21	East Carolina +5.5 v. Memphis		30-29	Win	100	39 h 16 m	Show
Taking EAST CAROLINA. 13-3 ATS run for ECU over Memphis in this series. Last week we had a Top Sure Shot on the Pirates (45-3 Winner). Back at it this Saturday. Memphis got a nice win over SMU last week after the Mustangs got upended by Houston. Well a team riding high is just as vulnerable as a deflated team. I know back to back road games - but Pirates at this number are worthy. 4* Money Maker EAST CAROLINA
11-13-21	West Virginia +7 v. Kansas State		17-34	Loss	-120	39 h 2 m	Show
Taking WEST VIRGINIA. Mountaineers have won and covered 4 straight in this series. Tell me the line is 3, ok. 6 or 7? Come on. Dog me up. Especially off a 24-3 home loss. Oklahoma State isn't Kansas State. KST off a cake walk over Kansas and have won 3 in a row. You take out the Baylor game and the West Virginia defense will keep this team in striking distance for that back door. Wildcats have their bowl locked up. WVA still fighting. Baylor is on deck for KST. Flat spot perhaps. 4* Money Maker WEST VIRGINIA
11-13-21	Nebraska-Omaha v. Ball State -9		69-73	Loss	-110	18 h 40 m	Show
4* Money Maker BALL STATE
11-12-21	Indiana State v. Purdue -25.5		67-92	Loss	-110	5 h 8 m	Show
4* Money Maker PURDUE
11-12-21	Bethune-Cookman v. Middle Tennessee +15	Top	51-71	Win	100	25 h 59 m	Show
4* Money Maker MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE
11-12-21	Pennsylvania v. George Mason -6		66-87	Win	100	20 h 25 m	Show
Taking GEORGE MASON. No shame in Penn getting pounded by Florida State. I think the Noles win the ACC. Mason looked good in their first game. And I had Stony and it wasn't even close. When you hit 52% of your shots and the other team hits 34%, you can win by 20. And that is exactly what Mason did. Penn is a team I have pegged in the middle of the Ivy. They have 2 nice young pieces. But lost 3 big ones to graduation. 4* Money Maker GEORGE MASON
11-12-21	East Tennessee State v. Appalachian State -2.5		67-69	Loss	-110	22 h 44 m	Show
4* Money Maker APPALACHIAN STATE
11-12-21	Western Kentucky -2.5 v. Minnesota		69-73	Loss	-110	9 h 49 m	Show
4* Money Maker WESTERN KENTUCKY
11-12-21	Eastern Washington v. UC-Davis -8		76-84	Push	0	20 h 15 m	Show
4* Money Maker UC DAVIS
11-12-21	Northern Colorado v. Hawaii +2		81-78	Loss	-105	23 h 52 m	Show
Taking HAWAII. Ah, the Rainbow Classic. Hawaii faces Hawaii-Hilo and should win by about 20. Northern Colorado (we cashed with) had a dog fight vs Pacific. I'm no weatherman, but I am guessing Northern Colorado in November is a bit chilly. These guys soaking up the sun on a beach. Rainbows always tough at home because of the flight out here so a built in edge. I will not be shocked when this line comes down to PK. Actually a little surprised it wasn't a PK to even Hawaii favored to start. Maybe it's the low hanging fruit game and I have this all wrong. I just think that - No Col rolled out to a 16-0 lead 6 minutes into the game. 5 minutes into the 2nd half, we have 42-41 game and it's a battle. As I write this one, Hawaii was up 21-3 with 10 to go in the first half. Again. One team was pushed to the limit in a back and forth game, and is in a back to back on the road. Give me the home team in this spot. 4* Money Maker HAWAII
11-11-21	Cal-Riverside +10.5 v. Arizona State		66-65	Win	100	20 h 45 m	Show
Taking RIVERSIDE. As much as I like my Big West teams, this is pretty much a fade Arizona State spot. Yeah. They get good recruits and transfers. But there is still one ball. And we saw them have trouble putting away Portland. Those guys with a new coach and transfers from Eastern Washington. Not the talent of ASU imports like - MAC Player of the Year or starters coming in from BC and Illinois State averaging 15ppg. Highlanders will D it up. They come in off ugly game vs San Diego State 66-53. Aztecs a tad better defensively than the Sun Arizona State. I think this one stays within 10. 4* Money Maker CAL RIVERSIDE
11-10-21	Pacific v. Northern Colorado +2.5		65-67	Win	100	11 h 7 m	Show
4* Money Maker NORTHERN COLORADO
11-10-21	Florida Atlantic v. New Mexico +2.5	Top	92-99	Win	100	24 h 57 m	Show
Taking NEW MEXICO. Trying to figure out how FAU is favored. I know New Mexico had a terrible end to their season last year. Haven't played here in 'The Pit' since February. The fans will be fired up. Not just to see their, but a new coach too boot. With a basketball name like Pitino attached to it. I like some the transfer pieces. Lobos get it done here as home dogs. Outright winner on tap. 5* Best Bet NEW MEXICO LOBOS
11-09-21	Blazers v. Clippers		109-117	Win	100	12 h 8 m	Show
4* Money Maker CLIPPERS
11-09-21	Chattanooga +8.5 v. Loyola Marymount		75-64	Win	100	30 h 51 m	Show
4* Money Maker CHATTANOOGA
11-09-21	Montana State +15 v. Colorado		90-94	Win	100	26 h 30 m	Show
4* Money Maker MONTANTA STATE
11-09-21	UC-Davis +11.5 v. Utah State		72-69	Win	100	11 h 7 m	Show
4* Money Maker UC DAVIS

4* PL Money CALGARY FLAMES
11-09-21	Wisc-Milwaukee -7 v. North Dakota		75-60	Win	100	28 h 6 m	Show
4* Money Maker MILWAUKEE
11-09-21	St. Thomas -5 v. Chicago State		72-77	Loss	-108	28 h 60 m	Show
4* Money Maker ST THOMAS
11-09-21	Jacksonville State +9.5 v. Wichita State		57-60	Win	100	26 h 40 m	Show
4* Money Maker JACKSONVILLE STATE
11-09-21	Ohio v. Eastern Michigan -6		34-26	Loss	-110	24 h 13 m	Show
Taking EASTERN MICHIGAN. The Ohio Bobcats have not lost a MAC conference game by more than 7 points in 6 years! But I am calling for EMU to get it done here by 10. They are on their own 38-20 ATS run. Both teams in off upset wins. Eastern though with a much better track record on the year. Last year Ohio won 27-20 in OT - Eagles get the W tonight. 4* Money Maker EASTERN MICHIGAN
11-09-21	Marist +3 v. American		73-77	Loss	-110	21 h 0 m	Show
4* Money Maker MARIST
11-09-21	UMKC +8.5 v. Minnesota		56-71	Loss	-110	21 h 54 m	Show
4* Money Maker KANSAS CITY

4* Money Maker NORTHEASTERN
11-09-21	Towson +3 v. Albany		77-56	Win	100	20 h 58 m	Show
4* Money Maker TOWSON
11-09-21	Stony Brook +3 v. George Mason		52-74	Loss	-110	20 h 56 m	Show
4* Money Maker STONY BROOK
11-09-21	UC San Diego +16.5 v. California		80-67	Win	100	25 h 12 m	Show
4* Money Maker SAN DIEGO ---- There will write ups with CBB. But some times, there won't be.
11-07-21	Titans v. Rams -4.5		28-16	Loss	-110	171 h 59 m	Show
Taking the RAMS. Well, another game we get a good number on. Didn't work out well for us with Cincy -4 last week vs the Jets. But again, we are ahead of the move - this time with Henry out of the year. Doesn't mean this is winner. I laid off Tenn/Indy last week since I thought beating the Bills and KC was tough. Add in an OT win over division rival that is a real tough run. Just a tough schedule spot having to come to face a good Rams team. 4* Money Maker LA RAMS
11-07-21	Packers +3 v. Chiefs		7-13	Loss	-115	141 h 56 m	Show
NO PLAY with no Rodgers -- Taking the PACKERS. Give me Rodgers getting any points and some extra prep time. What is there to say about KC? You will hear about the defense. You will head about their poor ATS run. Packers a solid team - at 3, count me in. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS
11-07-21	Cardinals v. 49ers +2.5		31-17	Loss	-100	70 h 21 m	Show
Taking SAN FRAN. Niners nearly beat these guys in Arizona. In fact, they should have won. And that is coming from someone who had the Cardinals that day. Murray banged up which is probably why the line is moving. Niners scored on 7 straight possessions vs the Bears. Maybe the offense is coming around. I just think that the even with the extra rest, Arizona will lay another egg here. I think SF takes the GB blueprint and runs through Arizona. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO 49ers
11-07-21	Broncos v. Cowboys -8.5		30-16	Loss	-110	138 h 34 m	Show
Taking the COWBOYS. Could have grabbed Dallas at 7.5 waited, and here we are a point higher. Honestly. I don't think it matters. Cowboys should win this one by double digits. The offense is humming. Dak or no Dak. It was a big ugly in Minny, but Cooper got the job done. The defense is the real deal. Denver does not have the horses to run up and down the field here. If Dak plays, this is a 20 point game. With Rush, Dallas should still put up 30 here at home. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS
11-07-21	Falcons v. Saints -6	Top	27-25	Loss	-109	137 h 20 m	Show
Taking the SAINTS. Matt Ryan an underdog to, checks notes, Trevor Siemian! A win over Brady will do that to you. But it is more than that. One. It starts with the defense. New Orleans will bring a defense to the field today. They will rally around the backup here. We have Kamara in the backfield to ease the burden, no worries in my mind. Atlanta. Ridley out. Defense still bad. I had both of these guys last week with mixed results. Carolina with the ugly 19-13 win. Falcons look lost on both sides of the ball for sure. Before that FG fest, they were in a wild game in Miami. They let the Jets score 20 on them. Safe to say backups and average QBs can move the ball and put up some points. How about that offense? What is going on with Matt Ryan. 13 points - 17 points at Giants - 6 vs Philly. Ok, want to be happy with the 30 in Miami and 25 at Tampa. We know Tampa D is suspect. 30 vs Washington. Again, home vs a bad defense. Saints defense will make plays when needed. Chalk up a 10 point win here. 5* Best Bet NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
11-07-21	Vikings v. Ravens -6		31-34	Loss	-107	65 h 49 m	Show
Taking the RAVENS. Baltimore of their bye week. Spent that one thinking about how Cincy came in here and took their lunch money. Now they get Minny fresh off a Sunday night vs Dallas and a home loss to Cooper Rush! Man. This offense looks bad. Ravens looking to redeem themselves. Zim, who I loved, has been a money burner after a huge winning run. Vikings just 3-11 ATS their last 14. This might be too easy thinking all Baltimore has to do is win by a TD. The do have a short week going to Miami Thursday night. Still going with the home team. 4* Money Maker BALTIMORE RAVENS
11-07-21	Patriots v. Panthers +3.5		24-6	Loss	-110	65 h 44 m	Show
Taking CAROLINA. Best HC maybe in NFL history vs Sam The Man at QB for Carolina. And this is the line. Panthers OUTRIGHT. Mac Jones with 1 passing TD on the road this season. Yeah. Put up some points last week. I think 900 FGs! A pick 6 INT and a rush TD. Nothing from Mac. I still like the Carolina HC. Maybe CMC plays. Guy can't stay on the field. Best WR is on the home team. I almost want to see QB2 for Carolina here. Fading the Patriots is a tough one, but I think we score the W here. Matt Ryan is still a decent QB and this defense did a great job. I think they can do the same this afternoon. 4* Money Maker CAROLINA PANTHERS
11-06-21	UTSA v. UTEP +11.5		44-23	Loss	-110	50 h 38 m	Show
4* Money Maker UTEP
11-06-21	Boise State v. Fresno State -4.5		40-14	Loss	-110	46 h 22 m	Show
4* Money Maker FRESNO STATE
11-06-21	LSU v. Alabama -28.5		14-20	Loss	-108	46 h 18 m	Show
4* Money Maker ALABAMA
11-06-21	Penn State -10 v. Maryland		31-14	Win	100	43 h 51 m	Show
Taking PENN STATE. Another tough loss for PSU. I thought Ohio State would run them out. Loser there for me. But Maryland. Couldn't put away a 3rd string freshman QB. Terps with a huge 35-19 win in Happy Valley as 25 point dogs. Big revenge today for PSU. 4* Money Maker PENN STATE
11-06-21	Baylor -6.5 v. TCU	Top	28-30	Loss	-110	43 h 46 m	Show
5* Best Bet BAYLOR
11-06-21	Temple v. East Carolina -15	Top	3-45	Win	100	52 h 36 m	Show
Taking EAST CAROLINA. Yes. Big number to lay with ECU. But the Pirates a pretty decent team. Yes. 2 losses in last 3 games. Lost in OT to Houston on the road. Lost 20-16 on the road to UCF. Losing 20-17 at South Carolina not a bad loss either. Temple though for me, a straight fade team. They have scored 24 points their last 3 games. 49-7 loser to UCF. 34-14 loser at USF. 52-3 loser at Cincy. Somehow they beat Memphis. Akron and Wagner as their other wins? They were 1-6 last year! As I mentioned. Loss to Cincy by 49 - Loss to Central Florida by 42 - Loss to South Florida by 20 - Loss to Rutgers by 47 - Loss to Boston College by 25. If ECU doesn't win this by 20 just on default, I will be shocked. 8* Sure Shot EAST CAROLINA
11-06-21	Wake Forest +2.5 v. North Carolina		55-58	Loss	-100	112 h 56 m	Show
Taking WAKE FOREST, might as well grab some ML +120. I think this will be a HUGE public play on Saturday morning. But I can't go the other way. Undefeated, Top 10 ranking. Best team in the ACC. Getting points from 4-4 NC who is suppose to have the best QB in the land coming into the season. Well. They are sitting 4th place in the Coastal. The defense has been bad. 44-34 loser at ND. 45-22 loser at Georgia Tech. Ok. Road Game losses. But at home. 42 allowed to Miami with a backup QB - 25 to Florida State. 39 to Virginia. If you don't think Wake will put up 40, you don't have your head screwed on straight. Demon Decons putting up 43ppg. 70 points in 17 minutes vs Army. 45 vs Duke - 40 at Syracuse - 37 at Virginia - 35 vs Florida State. 41 and 42 vs Norfolk and Old Dominion in tune ups. This game can very well be a shoot-out. And if that is the case, any points are a blessing. But I think Wake HC has his guys focused. They should win this one by a score or two. 4* Money Maker WAKE FOREST
11-05-21	Utah -7.5 v. Stanford		52-7	Win	100	35 h 17 m	Show
Taking UTAH. Utes finally getting some wins together after a rough September. Utah can basically wrap up a PAC 12 title game spot with a win here. (Arizona / Colorado on deck for them) Stanford has dropped 3 straight after that upset win over Oregon. Utah the better team all over the field. Cardinal just not a good program right now. I think this can be a 15-20 point win for Utes. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES
11-04-21	Jets v. Colts -10		30-45	Win	100	72 h 58 m	Show
Taking the COLTS. Are you really buying into the Jets? Bengals on the road for 3 straight games. Browns on deck. Jets gave up 54 the week before. This game was 31-20 before the Jets pulled off a miracle win. Colts much better coached team than Cincinnati. Off an OT loss and bad QB play, Indy will bounce back big here. I also like the UNDER. I think this is 27-10 type of game. Look for an improved Wentz here. Titans dealt a huge loss with Henry out. Colts need every game if they want to claim this division. Starts here at home vs a bad New York team. Let us not forget - these are the same Jets that lost 19-14 to the Panthers. 25-6 and 54-13 to NE. 26-0 to Denver. Yes, the pulled out weird wins over Tennessee and the Bengals. But they are 0-3 on the road scoring 16 points a game. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
11-02-21	Braves v. Astros -1.5		7-0	Loss	-100	9 h 40 m	Show
Taking HOUSTON, going RUN LINE. Now. We have had the Braves all series - we have them for the series. We had series bets vs Milwaukee and the Dodgers. Do I think we can win today or in Game 7. Yes. But I will take a stab here on the Astros RL. We have seen a bunch of runs and overs in this series. And honestly, blowing leads at home in a game that would have wrapped a title - well, I would be lying if I thought that the Braves aren't capable of laying an egg tonight. Big plus money is a series where teams are scoring. I'll take it. 4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS
11-02-21	Miami-OH -7.5 v. Ohio		33-35	Loss	-102	24 h 36 m	Show
Taking MIAMI OHIO. What is there to say? Ohio is bad. These guys, I mean - we had them in Week 1 against Syracuse. Favored over an ACC team. Big Brother Little Brother type of game. 29-9 Orange roll. Ok. Duquesne up next as 28.5 point faves. Loser OUTRIGHT! 28-26. Has been downhill since. Only time favored, on the road by 10! Over Akron. Makes taking Ball State -19 tonight an easier call. Back to the Bobcats. They are just playing out the string now, 1-7 going nowhere. Yet, they do play their MAC foes close with no losses by more than 7 since 2015! Those were different days folks. Redhawks have won 2 straight, 3 of 4 and have won last 2 in the series. Both teams in off bye weeks. Miami Ohio is tied for MAC East lead and won't be lacking any motivation facing the lowly Bobcats. 4* Money Maker MIAMI OHIO
11-01-21	Senators v. Blackhawks -1.5		1-5	Win	200	9 h 52 m	Show
Taking the BLACKHAWKS, going PUCK LINE. Winless team a small favorite at home. If they win, I can't see it being a 1-0 affair. They will put some shots in goal. At +200, worth a shot here. Ottawa 1-9 last 10 here in Chicago. 4* PL Money CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS
10-31-21	Bucs v. Saints +4		27-36	Win	100	4 h 28 m	Show
Taking the SAINTS. The betting world saw a 13-10 New Orleans win on Monday night where they couldn't score and let Geno Smith hang around. Oh what will Tom Brady do to them! Saints do have a decent defense. Maybe it is too good to be true and Tampa wins by 17 and Brady throws 4 more TDs. But I will grab the home dog here. 4* Money Maker NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
10-31-21	Bengals -3.5 v. Jets		31-34	Loss	-110	166 h 47 m	Show
Taking CINCINNATI. Jets are a complete mess. If that is what you get out of a bye week - Send in the clowns. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BENGALS
10-31-21	Dolphins v. Bills -13.5	Top	11-26	Win	100	46 h 37 m	Show
Taking the BILLS. Buffalo with an extra week to think about that Titans loss. (winner for us on Tennessee!) Dolphins absolutely reeling. A gift win to start the year in New England. 6 straight losses since. 4th different stadium for Miami in 4 weeks and 8 straight games of football. Team is hot mess. Bills won 35-0 in Miami and they didn't break a sweat in the humidity. I have Buffalo putting up 40 here. Can't see the Dolphins staying close. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS
10-31-21	Panthers v. Falcons -3		19-13	Loss	-105	45 h 29 m	Show
Taking the FALCONS. We will continue to fade the Panthers and Sam Darnold. I would have preferred to lay the early 1, but 3 it is. Falcons offense will score. We need the defense to make some plays. If Atlanta didn't blow a late lead to Washington, they would be 4-0 their last 4 games. Again, Panthers were darlins when they were beating the Jets and Titans with rookie QBs. Ryan has Ridley and Pitts and these teams are heading in opposite directions. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS

Taking the BROWNS. Baker cleared to play. Bu you know what, I don' mind the back-up. Getting Chubb back is more important. Extra rest not really a factor as Pitt is in off their bye week. We last saw them battling Geno Smith and Seattle in Prime Time. Two straight wins for Cleveland after Pitt had reeled off 7 of 8. This Steelers team is really a shell of what he is use to having. Big Ben in for a long afternoon. I'll lay the short number. 4* Money Maker CLEVELAND BROWNS

Taking OHIO STATE. So we rolled out OSU last week and will come right back on them today. We saw a terrible Penn State team. And you say, well, they were looking ahead. Yeah. That would be fine on a 20-6 win. A 20-18 9 OT loser. No. You were outplayed. You didn't play well. And you will be totally flat coming here. Oh. You will be pumped to knock off OSU. Well the Buckeyes already took that loss from Oregon at home. They won't be looking past the Lions here. And frankly, they can't PSU losing drops them in the polls. Losing to Illinois will only mean Ohio State needs to win by 30+ instead of 20. 8* Sure Shot OHIO STATE
10-30-21	North Carolina v. Notre Dame -4		34-44	Win	100	172 h 30 m	Show
Taking NOTRE DAME. What have we seen from NC that we think they compete here on the road. Lost at Virginia Tech 17-10. Lost at Georgia Tech 45-22. Heck, lost at home to Florida State 35-25. Do we think they get a flat ND team off USC? We do know this about the Irish. They aren't afraid to play people. Opening up on the road in Florida State. Neutral vs Wiscy. Loser to Cincinnati who everyone loved coming into the season - we saw them battle Georgia pretty tough last year also. I just have a feeling that Notre Dame runs the table with the lone Cincy loss and somehow gets into the 4 team playoff. Irish by a touchdown here. 4* Money Maker NOTRE DAME
10-30-21	Ole Miss v. Auburn -2.5		20-31	Win	100	28 h 29 m	Show
Taking AUBURN. Bye week. Better defense. Everyone loves the other team. Heisman. QB. HC. A top 10 'ranked' team getting points. Easy Money they say. Ole Miss off 4 straight tough ones. Bama. 52-51 Arkansas shoot-out. Lane back at Tennessee. And finally, Manning Day! Great scheduling spot as I said with Tigers in off bye. Not a huge Bo Nix guy, but he will have the proverbial chip on the shoulder tonight - I expect Ole Miss to run out of gas. 4* Money Maker AUBURN TIGERS
10-30-21	Wyoming +3 v. San Jose State		21-27	Loss	-110	25 h 7 m	Show
Taking WYOMING. My oh my. Lost with these guys as 20pt faves last week. Yikes. 3 points vs New Mexico. 17 points last 3 games. But before this 3 game slide, 24-45-50. Spartans have trouble scoring themselves. 7-17-3-14-13 (27 and 37 in two wins UNLV, New Mexico State). Look for the Cowboys to get back on track. 4* Money Maker WYOMING
10-30-21	UL-Monroe +27.5 v. Appalachian State		28-59	Loss	-115	19 h 38 m	Show
Taking UL MONROE. I think this is a bit of an inflated line with Appalachian State in off their win over Coastal Caroline. We had the Mountaineers in our Mid Day Money show and they won outright in the home dog role. But this is a big number. And. Last time I checked, which was as I am writing this - ULM, can keep things interesting. They themselves in off a nice upset. They just won at South Alabama by 10 as 13.5pt dogs. Oh. How about winning outright over Liberty in the game before as 32.5pt dogs. No let down for them. Finally in the upset side of things, they upended Troy as 23.5pt underdogs winning by 13. I will grab the big number here. 4* Money Maker UL MONROE WARHAWKS
10-30-21	Michigan -2 v. Michigan State	Top	33-37	Loss	-110	164 h 5 m	Show
Taking MICHIGAN here. So I do like my Spartans. But this is too a short a line. Maybe it is a 'too easy' game. Michigan State sitting off their bye week, but Michigan took care of Northwestern in simple fashion. Wolverines come in with revenge for last years 27-24 win, as 21.5 point underdogs! Year before, Michigan 44-10 as 13.5 faves. I'll toss out some older numbers. Michigan -7.5, Michigan -13, Michigan -24.5 in 2016. Now we are seeing this kind of number? I think the Spartans have improved, but I am not buying this is a top 10 team. 5* Best Bet MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

Taking ARIZONA. So we had both of these guys on Sunday. But this spot, it is all home team. GB is a traveling machine right now. Arizona tonight. At KC next week. WFT was sandwich between trips to Cincy and Chicago. Cardinals have made believers out of me. Total domination of the Rams and Browns. Rams, a team that had owned them. And the Browns, without bring their HC and others, not even close. Until someone gets within 5-10 of these guys, the offense will score 30+ and the defense will keep opponents under 20. 5* Best Bet ARIZONA CARDINALS

Taking SEATTLE. We had the Seahawks last Sunday night and will do it again here. Maybe this is the low hanging fruit with Winston and the Saints laying this kind of number. Toss out any old NO trends or stats. This isn't a Brees team. Same with Seattle. 10-4 ATS home dog run, but different times. Yes, Saints in off bye, but Seahawks in SNF to MNF not terrible. Geno with more reps under his belt, I think the defense will perform well. Winston completed 50% of his passes vs Washington. He had a nice game at New England. His other road game, a loss in Carolina. Too many points for that guy who Seattle will dare to beat them. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Taking TAMPA BAY, again FIRST HALF.. -6.5. Like Rodgers as our Top Play last week over Fields, we will take Brady vs the rookie. If the Bears do mount any kind of offensive attack, it will be late in the game. I think TB should win and cover both spots either way. This Chicago defense is decent, but the offense has major concerns. Brady lost to Bears last year - has gone 17-4 since leading Tampa. Back to Bears offense. Scored 14 or less in 3 of 6 games. 34-14 AT Rams. 26-6 AT Browns. 24-14 vs Packers. So on the road vs 2 playoff teams. 20 points. Allowing 60. Last we Tampa, they were letting Philly score 15 unanswered on a Thursday night. Extra rest. Revenge. Offense problems with a rookie HC. Take TAMPA BAY 4* Money Maker

Taking the RAMS FH -8.5 here. Should have grabbed them at 13 when the line first opened, waited like a dummy and it is now 16. But 1st half. Let's get it. Lions shut out in 3 of their last 4 games in the first half. Add in the QB switch - the Rams HC despising his old QB. I think we have a blowout brewing. 5* Best Bet LA RAMS First Half

10-24-21	Washington Football Team v. Packers -7.5		10-24	Win	100	49 h 15 m	Show
Taking the PACKERS. Now. At 9.5/10 points on the opener, I would be more inclined to take Washington. GB in off win over rival Bears. Huge short week Thursday game on deck vs Cardinals. But sitting at 7.5, I will grab the Packers here. And look at this scheduling spot. Back to back road games - Cincy and Bears. They beat Pitt here 27-17, before that, road game in SF. Next up-trips to Arizona and Kansas City. At least they have home games when the weather turns to a clear edge for them. I have to think they the move down is a reflection of that. On the road 5 of 6 weeks is tough. Guessing most guys have families and such that need addressing. But also. They are home. The fans. The field. They don't want to lay an egg here. They need wins. A tough pair of games up next. Washington looks like a team in complete disarray. So yeah, at 10, maybe WFT gets a look. Now at 7.5, I think GB is talented enough on offense to pull away here. 4* Money Maker GREEN BAY PACKERS
10-24-21	Panthers v. Giants +3		3-25	Win	100	20 h 17 m	Show
Taking the GIANTS. If ever a team was in a 'must win' mode, NYG is in it. Injuries. Bad play. Turnovers. Just a hot mess. The team is a MASH unit. Who knows who is even suiting up. Barkley? WRs? Doesn't matter. This is make or break time for Danny 'Dimes', oops, I mean, Danny Turnover Machine. Joe Judge is on his way out if this team does not win today. He might not get fired after this game, but if they lose here, he is done this season. Carolina, even with a HC who I really like, is still missing its best player in CMC. And - Sam Darnold, yes that Sam Darnold, is back in the Meadowlands, as a favorite! So he looked good beating his old club, them NO who his DCOs know well. Then his team beats Davis Mills. But hello, Dallas. Heck, they should have beaten Hurts and the Eagles, but the team couldn't. Somehow the forced OT last week. But honestly, besides showing some fight against Minny, you want me to have faith with this guy leading the charge. Now the Giants are far from the Cowboys or Vikings. But this is really a 'circle the wagons' game for them. 1-5 on the year, and can turn into a 3-15 season in 60 minutes tomorrow. I'm taking the 3 and grabbing some +120 ML. 4* Money Maker NEW YORK GIANTS

On the heels of getting shut out 24-0 at Penn State. This offense is sputtering. Take out the Idaho 56pt game and this team is putting up a little more than 15ppg. Everyone loves Pennix. Guy is always banged up. This team is reeling. OSU looking to come out huge here. In their only loss, the offense put up over 600 yards. We know that OSU will close in on 50. Are you counting on this Hoosiers team to get the mid 20s? 5* Best Bet OHIO STATE

Taking UTAH. It has taken about half the season, but finally, the Utes, who I had back in August to win the PAC 12, that team has shown up. Had the Utes last week and they stomped a pretty hot Arizona State team. Down 21-7 and roared back - I think they make light work of Oregon State. Home dog no much to get exited about. Beavers 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 in that role. Short number, but going with the road faves. 4* Money Maker UTAH UTES

Taking WYOMING. Right off the bat- revenge game for last year. 19pt faves losing outright. Add in getting shutout at home last week. What better remedy than New Mexico. Lobos come in with just an awful offense. 36-6, 31-7, 38-10, 20-13, 34-0. 5 straight losses. 7.5 ppg. - 2 wins vs HBU 27-17 and New Mexico State 34-25. Again. Cowboys in off a shutout 17-0 where they turned the ball over 5 times. New Mexico had a backup freshman QB last week. Big number for sure as Wyoming only averages 25ppg. But I think they drop 30+ here and the Lobos are limping to the finish line. 4* Money Maker WYOMING

Taking IOWA STATE. Holy cow. We have a perfect storm here in my eyes. Unranked Cyclones favored by a TD over an Undefeated team ranked in the Top 10! Added bonus - Said team is off monster road win over Texas Longhorns. Only thing that would be the proverbial icing on the cake if it was a win over Oklahoma. But all the ingredients are in this home cake to rise to the occasion. 8* Sure Shot IOWA STATE

Taking OKLAHOMA. Sooners can name the score. But I think they win by at least 40. Kansas managed 2 late TDs to make 41-0 look a tad better at 41-14. We gladly took that Texas Tech win last week. Now with a new guy under center, Oklahoma looks like what Oklahoma was suppose to look like. Whoever paid Spencer Rattler this year has some egg on their face. Williams comes in and has more TD passes in 6 quarters than Rattler did all season (WCU does not count!) Will we be 55-10 sounds about right. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS

Taking SMU. Mustangs will dial up the ol' Pony Express tonight. Tulane giving up close to 500 yards a game. That won't do the job vs SMU who is 7th in the land putting up over 500 yards a clip and scoring 40. Add in that the Green Wave defense allows a hair of 40 a game. SMU in off a grinder over Navy who has improved as the season has progressed. Before that 31-24 game, SMU was dropping 41-42-39-35 gems on opposing teams. We won't count the 56-9 win over Abiline Christian. Tulane doing the opposite of improving since their opening day 40-35 loss at Oklahoma. And we see the Sooners offense change things up at the QB since then. Tulane though -, again tossing out a 69-20 win over Morgan St. 61-21 loser at Ole Miss. 28-21 loser vs UAB. 52-29 loser at ECU. 40-22 loser vs Houston. 61 and 52 allowed in their last 2 road game. SMU has some offensive horses of their own. I think Mustangs can get near 50. I don't see Tulane approaching 30. 4* Money Maker SMU MUSTANGS

Taking LAFAYETTE. I know what people are thinking. Fade ULL off that huge win over Appalachian State. Home dog and they roll 41-13. What I really think is that people forget that Lafayette came into this season as a team ranked in the Top 25 or close to it. They were promptly bet down as near 2 TD dogs vs Texas in Game 1 and lost 38-18. The shine was off. They then beat Nichols 27-24 as 26pt favorites and people thought, oh they are trash. They have won 5 straight since Texas. Now. The road wins 20-18 and 28-20 look bad because they were 12 and 14.5 pt faves. But I think this team won't have a tough time tonight. Arkansas State comes to the game thinking - Let's keep the opposing team under 60 and we're good. Loser 52-20. Loser 59-33. Loser 41-34. Loser 52-3. Loser 55-50. Red Wolves with a defense that is one of the worse in the land. 46.7 ppg allowed! Even off a bye week, you really think the defense is slowing things down? If ULL doesn't win by at least 3 TDs they should walk home. 4* Money Maker UL LAFAYETTE RAGIN' CAJUNS

Taking the TITANS. Oh yeah. Everyone loving the Bills off a big win over KC. We can go easy and say, well, let down game. Of course there will be a bit of a let down. A road win in KC is a big deal for many teams. And people will be saying. You can't bet on Tennessee. They lost to the Jets! Well. I know last year the Titans steamrolled these guys 42-16. Turnovers help, and you can scream revenge angle if you want. But Titans with their WRs back. A bruising RB. A QB who is pretty good and nobody notices. Defense is yes, a little suspect. Titans not in any position to overlook teams with KC lurking ahead. Bills heading to an early bye week. Have to take the home dogs in this spot though. The look-ahead line of this game was Bills -2.5. This is a big overreaction the KC win. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS

Taking the COWBOYS. I like the Texans last week. I thought they would win outright over the Patriots. This NE team still struggling to score. Maybe at home they dial up the defense to slow down the Dallas offense. I don't see it. I think the Cowboys can overpower almost any team in the league. The defense is a solid, bend don't break unit. Not high on Mac Jones. HC edge for NE as always. But if you don't have the horses to run, tough to win the race. 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS
