4* Total Money OVER Packers/ Chiefs

Taking the CHIEFS. Will take KC with Matt Moore behind center. This isn't a nobody rookie behind center. This guy has some starts and wins under his belt. Everyone coming in real heavy with the Packers and what they saw out of Rodgers. Forget that game. Past is past. Today, KC is the play. Have we forgot the gift officiating or just plays that went in GB's favor the last 2 weeks. 5 home games. Time for a road trip and you're favored? Andy Reid 37-17 SU in KC. How about Aaron Rodgers 46-46 career road record! 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS 

4* Total Money UNDER Browns/ Patriots 

4* Total Money UNDER Panthers/ Niners

Taking the PANTHERS. Off a bye week, I think they are ready to pick off the Niners. We had the Redskins and managed a half point cover without scoring a point. Washington then proceeded to bite us in the butt on Thursday night as they don't force a punt, but still manage to cover the number. Back to the Niners. Just a spot I think is bad for them. Still banged up on the OL. Plus, short week with division rival Arizona on deck. That is where their focus will be. They can drop an out of division game. Heck, they can win and not cover. I just think that since Cam has been out, this is a different team. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS 

4* Total Money UNDER Broncos/ Colts 

Taking the JETS. People will be down on them after that MNF performance. And that is why we are getting a little extra value on the point spread. Jags no the Patriots and especially not the coaching staff. Can't trust Mishew laying this number. 4* Money Maker NY JETS 

Taking the BILLS. I know everyone will be loving the Eagles in this spot. But the line has gone up. Even though there is money on Philly. They looked bad vs Dallas so that is what everyone remembers. But, Bills themselves struggled a bit putting away Miami. I just can't over look 3 straight road games for the Iggles. Minny, Dallas and here. And this group might have the best defense of the bunch. I'm going ML just in case it's closer than I forecast. 4* Money Maker BUFFALO BILLS 

Taking the COLTS. Again, back as our Top Play this week. I can't believe this line is where it is. I am shocked is not over a touchdown. In fact, it has dropped a bit. I have no clue why. How can a sharp money player come in on Denver? They just traded a veteran WR. Their QB has looked awful in pocket. Their defense is ok which you would expect from this HC. But everything else is a mess. Indy a focused a group. I said this from the moment Luck went down. There is not really a huge drop off to Brissett. Kid filled in when Luck was lost for the season before. That is huge. The defense cost them games that season. That has improved. The OL has improved. The run game. Everything has improved. Like this HC. You see how Philly has struggled since he has left. Much like the guy in SF. He leaves ATL after the Super Bowl loss and Falcons can't muster anything. Huge end on the sidelines for us today. I don't care about extra rest for Denver. That team played scared even after Mahomes went down. If this isn't a double digit win I will be shocked. 10* Money Bomb INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

Taking the GIANTS. Might even sprinkle some +250 ML here. Giants getting healthy on offense. Rookie Daniel Jones with some new toys returning. Barkley, Tate, Engram. They will score some points here. Lions who I thought were off to a promising start, well, losing your RB hurts. I just can't back the Lions as a favorite of this size. 8* Sure Shot NY GIANTS  

Taking SAN DIEGO STATE. Rocky Long has the Aztecs back in the hunt this year. Defense a Top 10 unit and should be able to man handle UNLV late night here. Revenge for home loss last year. 5* Best Bet SAN DIEGO STATE 

Taking CAL. Big ballsy play as a 10*. I get it. 3 straight losses. An offense that can't score 20. But, we are getting 3 TDs tonight. Utah with their own injured QB. Maybe he plays a bit. Maybe he gets hurt. Bears defense hasn't give up more than 24 points in 14 straight games. I'm looking for a score or 2 and we should be home free with a win. Thought about the Under 37.5, but this is a 6 full points lower than any Cal total this season. Bears on a 13-3 under run in PAC 12 games and 10 of their last 11 on the road have gone under. Just tossing out some trends for you. 10* Money Bomb CAL BEARS 

Taking TCU. Something odd about this line. The old 'ranked' team with a short, short number. Give me little brother at home vs big, bad in-state rival brother. Texas has some defensive issues. 48 points to Kansas? I expect Gary Patterson to have some tricks up the Horned Frog sleeves for this one. 4* Money Maker TCU 

4* Money Maker FLORIDA ATLANTIC 

4* Total Money UNDER Penn State/ Michigan State 

Taking LSU. Give me these guys at home all day long here. No look ahead here. These guys are taking care of business every week. Saw Bo Nix toss 3 INTs vs the Gators. This defensive backfield is just as good. Delpit or Stevens will have some big plays this afternoon. Burrows the Heisman leader right now. LSU by 20+ 8* Sure Shot LSU TIGERS 

Taking WESTERN KENTUCKY. Herd come in off huge last win over Lane Train's Florida Atlantic squad. Now favored over WKU who is on a 8-1 ATS run overall and have covered 5 straight in this series. 4* Money Maker WESTERN KENTUCKY 

Taking OHIO STATE. Buckeyes 9-1 SU and 7-2-1 ATS last 10 in the series vs Wiscy. Badgers, in the old, let-down, look ahead spot get picked off on the road by Illinois. Let's not also forget them playing down on the road to Northwestern either squeezing out a 24-15 win. Same Northwestern team OSU throttled 52-3. Smallest margin of victory so far for Ohio State, 24. That's FAU and Mich State. Mich State who Wiscy beat 38-0. That was after OSU put the nail in their season coffin though. Even looking at who they each played, I still think this is a 20pt win for Ohio State. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE 

Taking the SOONERS. 49-70-55-52. Those are the points Oklahoma has put up on the road so far this season. #1 offense in the land. But more impressive, 28th in total defense. Normally they are in wild 50-40 shoot-outs. But the defense has looked solid so far. And let's be honest, Kansas State is still a bit below par right now. Like their new HC. And down the road 23 points is too many. Not here. Not now. Sooners still need style points to keep up with Ohio State and LSU, even Alabama who continue to push the 50pt mark. KSt can't stop the run and Oklahoma, besides Hurts going for 700 on the ground in addition his 20/3 2300 passing numbers, has two other backs, Brooks and Sermon going for 8.5 and 7.2 yards per carry also. Too much for Wildcats to slow down. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS 

Taking the VIKINGS. I think it is safe to say that Cousins will have all his teammates ready to face his old club. Yeah, AP makes a return to Minny, but, let's be honest here. If one of these guys is taking over this game, its' the guy who has tossed for 10TDs (1int) and nearly 1000 yards the last 3 games. Vikings offense starting to click behind their new line, and their defense is always a stout unit. Should have a fun game vs a revolving QB door set to see another ex Viking player in Case Keenum behind center. Perhaps Colt McCoy or even a forgotten rookie might see action in this short week skirmish. Vikes 19-2-2 ATS last 24 at home vs non-con foes. I doubt we see a repeat of them losing as huge faves as they did to Buffalo last year. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking SMU. Pony Express is back. Look. These guys have visions of being this year's UCF. Undefeated and looking for a New Year's Day Bowl. They aren't crashing the playoffs. And they have a big game on deck vs Memphis. But the Mustangs should be able to take care of Houston. Clear rebuild going on. When your 50 TD QB from last year red-shirts after a couple games, it is a lost season. Maybe if they beat the Sooners to start things off things would be different. But here we are. Houston with a walk on QB, the coaches son to be exact, leading the way tonight. 14 not close to be enough points. They struggled putting up 24 at Connecticut. Out yarded 440 to 290. Got a TO in when Uconn was in their territory - plus a missed FG and turnover on downs at the 2 help. Not getting those breaks vs the Pony's who are putting up 44ppg and over 500 yards of offense good for 7th best in the land. 4* Money Maker SMU MUSTANGS  

Taking the JETS. New Jets team people. I thought at the start of the season, they were a playoff team. Then mono and injuries show up and you have a 3rd stringer in their behind center and the wheels are falling off. Well, Mono-Man is back. The OL is still a concern for me. But I do like the defense. I think with a real NFL QB you make your RB that much better. Everything improves. Jets HC has beaten Pats while in Miami. Always a tough series here. You can't really knock NE. The defense is taking the ball away every game. What I see is Brady throwing some end-zone INTs. Patriots offense is ok, but nothing really special. 5* Best Bet NY JETS 

4* Total Money OVER Eagles/ Cowboys 

Taking DALLAS. This is it for Garrett. Guy needs to get this team together. And honestly, judging by the team walking by his open hands, he's in trouble. Eagles in off their own loss getting mauled in Minny. Much tougher losing to a guy who hasn't played since August though. Still think the Dallas offense is superior though. It was seems like a yearly thing since selling their souls to win the Super Bowl, Philly again decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball. I think we see some points tonight, but the Cowboys should win this one by double digits. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS

4* Total Money OVER Ravens/ Seattle 

Taking the BEARS. Great run by Teddy B with 4 straight wins and the Saints can't be complaining. Guy was decent in Minny, so not exactly a true back up. But, back to back road games tough in the NFL. At Seattle, home vs Dallas and Tampa - road win vs hot Panthers. Bears going to be an angry bunch for sure. Bad loss in London. I don't care who is throwing the ball, Chicago wins with defense. And, we have seen when Teddy and the Saints get a good defense, they struggle. 13-6 last week. 12-10 over Dallas. We have seen Tampa and Seattle give up plenty of points. Bears allowing just 13.8ppg and are on a 17-6-1 ATS run at home last 24 games. 8* Sure Shot CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the RAIDERS. Raise your hand if you had Oakland with this many wins so far- Now stop lying. You know that nobody though they would be in this position. And yeah, this is a tough position as it is another away game. Next week in Houston and this is over a month on the road for the Raiders. But, they are off a bye and back from London. A game they mauled with their run game. Packers defense not on Chicago's level. I think Carr is a decent QB. When a team is playing with house money, there is no pressure. Pressure now on GB after the refs gifted them a win on MNF. This line was 7 to start and I see 5s now starting to show. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND RAIDERS 

Taking the VIKINGS. Had the Lions over the Packers. Will buck them here on the short week. I do like this Detroit team. You have seen my write ups or videos on them on the season. But I think this is a bad spot. One, brutal loss for them. A game they should have won. I get Minny is in off fat win over Philly. This is division rival time. Vikes had time to get their OL in order. The run game is superior. Their WRs are superior. The defense is superior. Most importantly, their HC is superior. 9 points in each of the last 2 meetings for Detroit and barely averaging 14 in the last 5 vs Minny. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the REDSKINS. So, faded both of these teams last week. Had Miami ML and was big on the Rams. Will fade SF laying this hefty number. As I said last week. They are coming in off a short week vs Rams who had lost 2 straight. They are missing 2 starting OL men plus a FB. Their WR corp is average at best. But yet, they won going away. Redskins canned their HC and came out with renewed fire. Expect more of the same. SF HC talking smack about the Redskins will inflame some here, but especially ownership. Bill Callahan taking over is a guy with his own chip on his shoulder. Run out of his HC job as the Raiders after taking team to Super Bowl (vs old HC Gruden).  I know it's ugly, but we have to bite. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON REDSKINS 

4* Total Money OVER Cards/ Giants

Taking the FALCONS. Both of these guys in a bit of a free-fall. I think the Dan Quinn era(rror) is going to be coming to an end soon. Granted, the kicking has bit them in the butt, but what a waste of this offensive talent. Rams come in now losers of 3 straight, and have an early start time, while playing Matty Ice at home who has pretty good numbers here. That says all you need to know about the state of the Falcons. Ryan leading the NFC in TD passes and yards. He has a pair of pretty decent wide-outs if you don't know them. Job on the line here for the home team HC. Dog Outright. 5* Best Bet ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the COLTS. Big game here for Indy. Rested, off bye. Guys back getting healthy. Hilton and Mack are great weapons for Brissett. They have won 7 of their 8 at home. They have covered 9 of 10 against teams with a winning record. 27-8 SU vs the Texans. Houston in off huge win over KC. In fact, both teams last win over Chiefs. Back to back roadies tough. Double tough after winning at Arrowhead, then coming to a play a team that beat you in the playoffs last year. Colts get it done. 10* Money Bomb INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 

4* Total Money UNDER Michigan/ Penn State 

Taking PENN STATE. I just think this is going to be a beat down. Michigan is done. I think Harbaugh is out of here. White-out game vs these guys? Forget it. Penn State line is going to maul the Wolverines on both sides of the ball. We can beat the Michigan / Harbaugh vs ranked teams thing to death (1-6 on the road). PSU defense clear edge over Michigan. This team is in real trouble. I don't think they score 10 points tonight. 10* Money Bomb PENN STATE 

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE. Had Bears last week and that bit us in the butt. But that is who they are. Beat bad teams. Lose to decent teams. Now on the road, the 'Ranked' and "Undefeated" Baylor Bears are dogs. Chuba Hubbard to run all over the Bears. 8* Sure Shot OKLAHOMA STATE 

Taking MINNESOTA. I can't even think of backing the school in my own backyard unless I am getting 30+. 34 might get me to take a look. 45-10 or something like it. PJ Fleck won't let this team look ahead or slip up. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS

Taking LA TECH. Like Skip Holtz, normally in a doggy role. But this is a pick and will back him anyway. Double revenge spot for home team. So Miss comes in off win over North Texas that snapped a 3 game losing streak. Safe to say, they were really focused on getting that W. Don't think we see the same emotion here. Bulldogs had bye and then basically a double bye crushing UMass. 4* Money Maker LOUISIANA TECH 

Taking LSU. I see this as a 20+ point win for LSU. Miss State having trouble scoring lately. 10 points at Tennessee! If Auburn is dropping 56-23 on you, I see LSU getting mid 40s at a minimum. Even at home, State going to have problems containing Burrows. QB problems don't help. Having your defense drafted into the NFL doesn't help. LSU can really name their score tonight. 8* Sure Shot LSU TIGERS 

Taking CLEMSON. So, last year 77-16. Not that I am expecting that. But, we did cash Louisville last week. A wild, wild, 62-59 game vs Wake. Going on the road and knocking off a ranked team is a big deal coming off last season's 2-10 train-wreck. Even catching this big number, I don't think it's close. Clemson putting up some big numbers. 45-14 last week. 52 vs Charlotte, 52 vs GT. 41-6 at Syracuse. Can you say Louisville is along the lines of GT, SU? Even a down FSU? Forget this Tigers QB as a Heisman guy. The Heisman guy is his RB. 7 yards a carry. Heck, Dixon with 6ypg. Birds gave up 123 and 95 last week to a pair of Wake RBs. I am sure Clemson tailbacks licking their chops here. How about Tee Higgins seeing a Wake WR going for 196. I think Clemson drops 50 easy today and Cards don't have the horses to stay within 30. Also. Let's not rule out some Playoff Points. OSU and Oklahoma putting up big numbers. LSU and Alabama will cancel each other out, or will they? Pour it on 80s style. 8* Sure Shot CLEMSON TIGERS

Taking FLORIDA. I get the thinking. Let-down off that LSU loss. I don't think so. Gators with bye-week next week. They know they need this game. A big what-if last week with an end-zone INT and stopped at LSU 2. Had lead at half-time. Tough loss for sure. But South Carolina comes in giddy upsetting Georgia. Deeper looks shows 4 Bulldogs turnovers help the cause greatly. Getting out-yarded by nearly 200 yards. Not sure who is QBing for Gamecocks, but I still think they don't score more than 13 points. 5* Best Bet FLORIDA GATORS 

Taking OHIO STATE. How the heck is Northwestern keeping this within 30 points? Nebraska 13-10, Wiscy 24-15, 31-10 Michigan State.  So 10-15-10 vs Big  10 teams. Ohio State has given up 17 in 2 Big 10 road games. 48-7 at Nebraska, 51-10 at Indiana. Is Northwestern on either of their levels? 99-17 outscoring conference foes on the road for OSU. Ohio State is scoring 40-50 here. I don't think Wildcats get past 10 - and if they do, Buckeyes will surely answer any score. 5* Best Bet OHIO STATE 

Taking STANFORD. Both teams rested coming in. Bruins after getting wrecked by Oregon State giving up 48 points. Oregon State, had only beat Cal Poly coming into that game vs UCLA. Bruins are a hot mess. Stanford looks like it is turning a corner. Chip Kelly now 4-14 as Bruins HC. Might be time to start looking for someone else. 4* Money Maker STANFORD 

Taking DENVER here. Faded these guys last week. Not a smart move. Broncos haven't given up a TD in 2 straight games now. So, home dog on a short week. I get everyone loves Mahomes. But he doesn't look the same to me. Up and down. Maybe a little nicked up. Denver with the RBs to keep the KC offense limited and off the field. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Broncos 

Taking the LIONS and will be looking at +215 on the ML. Everyone will be on the Packers after they dismantled Dallas early. They will probably over look the INTs, the missed FGs, the 500+ yards off offense they gave up. Oh, it's Aaron Rodgers at home and they only have to win by a touch down. Detroit off bye. Had that crazy KC game before. For me though. This is just a great situational spot for the road team. Extra prep time for division rival. I get it. GB will be looking for revenge off 31-0 loss here at home last year. But, no Rodgers. I don't put much merit in that angle. 5* Best Bet DETROIT LIONS 

Taking the CHARGERS. This Pitt team is in trouble this year. Forget the QB problems. This defense has yet to get an offense off the field when it needs to. Enter the Chargers off a brutal home loss. Yeah, we had Denver and the points. But I thought they would hang tough and too much Rivers and Allen would win a close shoot-out. Instead. LAC couldn't do anything right. I expect them to get right here. A big offensive night for this team. 8* Sure Shot LA CHARGERS 

Taking TENNESSEE. Ugly pick for sure. Tough taking a team that is playing without a place kicker! Missed 4 last week. Yikes. Titans have 3 losses and didn't allow more than 20 points in any of them. ugh. Rough. But, that means we are in every game. Denver has scored more than 20 just once, their last game. 3 games less than 20. Flacco not doing much offensively. Broncos 2-7 ATS last 9 at home and just broke an 8 game losing streak. How about a 3-12-1 ATS run for Denver as favorites. Underdog has won every Titans game this season. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking the RAMS. So, we had ML play on Seattle last Thursday. Tough, tough loss as Rams miss FG at end of game. Looking inside the stats here. Rams put up basically 30 points in about 25 minutes of work. Closed in on nearly 500 yards of offense. This is a huge game for LAR sitting at 3-2. We have Niners here on Monday Night. I think they win this over the Browns. That means, a short week. Off a MNF win. While Rams sitting with extra for this monster divisional game. Everyone remembers what they last saw. That is Niner domination, and Rams chocking on a late FG.  10* Money Bomb LA RAMS 

Taking MIAMI. You can grab the points, I am going  MONEY LINE. Look Redskins with the coaching change that has been years in the making. Dolphins behind their HC and have orchestrated their moves to rebuild. These guys are pros. They hear about how bad they are. One win, zero wins. There is a difference. You don't want to be the only Undefeated Season Franchise and Winless Season Franchise. I don't care who takes over for the Redskins. I don't care who is behind center. Miami off their bye will be guns blazing to win this thing. 4* Money Maker MIAMI DOLPHINS 

Taking SEATTLE. Should have grabbed these guys at plus money before Monday night. We knew what was going to happen as the Niners cash for us. This Browns team is not good. All the hype. The personalities. Baker is one of the worse QBs in all of NFL right now. ODB, Landry, Chubb. Doesn't matter how good these guys are if you can't get them the ball. The OL is absolute disaster. We won't mock their HC too much. But by now you should as I have said it several times - the guys behind the offense coming alive last year are gone. Now you get Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson with extra rest to come face this team. This is the Browns people. This team was 4-44 in the 3 years prior to going 7-8-1 last year. And you have faith they are going to turn it around against Seattle? Good luck with that. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

4* Total Money UNDER Cincy/ Ravens... I want to pull the trigger on Cincy. But the offense is just brutal. How is this total 48? Guess they think BLT is putting up Miami numbers. Don't see that happening. 

Taking the JAGUARS. Saints have bit us in the butt the last two weeks. We will fade them again. So, on the grass, out of the dome, and off a big SNF win over the Cowboys. And a big division win over Tampa Bay. Taking to the road in a non-conference game seems a bit of let-down spot. Teddy B off his best game ever. This Saints team still has had trouble offensively - Yes 4-1. But winning by just 4 points a game and having eclipsed 300 yards of total offense twice. How is that possible in today's NFL? Christian McCaffrey had 250 yards himself in a game last week! - Look. Maybe Ramsey is back as he sees the team competing. Fournette having a huge bounce back season. DJ Chark is on the same page as Minshew. Bears on deck for NO, so you think they might eye that NFC game more important. 8* Sure Shot JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 

Taking ARIZONA. Tate looked pretty good last week. Somehow these guys sitting atop their side of the PAC 12. And what is going on with Washington? Chris Peterson has to start feeling the heat a little bit, no? A pair of losses as a double digit favorites. Sumlin has turned this around since that opening loss out in Hawaii. Wildcats on a 4-1-1 ATS run getting points in PAC 12 games. Lets circle back to Washington vs Stanford last week. Score says 23-13. But, giving up nearly 500 yards and not getting 300 yourself. Back to back on the road, and as faves. I think we have a live dog here. 4* Money Maker ARIZONA WILDCATS 

Taking LOUISVILLE. Ok. Shaking my head as I see a bunch of 6.5s out here. Maybe a total bomb play on my part. But something doesn't look right to me. Wake, "ranked" inside the Top 20. Undefeated. And laying a pretty short number vs a 3-2 team. I had UL way back vs ND to open things up. I like their new HC. I think they are eager to put last years debacle behind them. Coming in off wild win over BC. 56-35 Wake in road beat down last year. Think UL is live here. 4* Money Maker LOUISVILLE 

Taking FIU. You know I like Butch Davis and Florida International. Think their QB looks healthy after being banged up early. Not a really huge number to cover. FIU has disappointed early on. But I think after their last game, huge win over brutal UMASS, you get some confidence in your step. 4* Money Maker FIU 

Taking LOUISIANA TECH. I don't care what kind of number you hang, have to fade UMass. 48 allowed at Rutgers. 52 at Charlotte. 44 at FAU. They gave up 62 at home to Coastal Carolina! 4* Money Maker LA TECH 

Taking NORTH TEXAS. You know I like this QB Fine. And the fact that Mean Green has won and covered 3 straight in the series helps. Both teams in off byes. We are licking our wounds after getting our teeth kicked in by Houston. But we won't back away. This game is a toss up. But Southern Miss has not had an answer for this NT offense. More of the same this game. 4* Money Maker NORTH TEXAS 

Taking UAB. San Antonio with a backup QB and not much else to help him out. UAB out of football in 2015 before coming back.. And back to back bowl games for them to boot! Last 2 games vs UTSA, 27 and 23 point wins for the Blazers. 4* Money Maker UAB 

4* Money Maker BAYLOR 

Taking ALABAMA. I get it. Big number. Not worried. A&M wilts at home vs the best teams in the land. And make no mistake, Bama is a top unit. We have been burned by a late TD and last second covers while backing the Tide. Don't think that is a problem here. One. We aren't laying nearly 30. Tua won't be sitting out after putting up 40 in the first half. I know that Saban has had problems against QBs like this. I just think the defense is finally up to the challenge. And speaking of defense. How is A&M slowing down what looks like 3-4 NFL wide-outs lining up? uh, they aren't. There will be wide open guys zig zagging all over the place. 4* Money Maker ALABAMA 

4* Total Money UNDER Michigan State/ Wisconsin 

4* Total Money OVER Oklahoma/ Texas

Taking OKLAHOMA. Yes. Tom Herman has great underdog numbers. I just have this game closer to 15 than I do to 10. Texas with a ton of secondary injuries. Sooners going to put up 40-50 points. I am also on the OVER 75 here. I have this game rated out in the 48-31 range. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS 

Taking INDIANA. Have to say. As a Jersey guy, it pains me to see how brutal Rutgers is. Every time I watch 30 for 30 The U, I think to myself. Man, can Rutgers just keep NJ kids in this state for a few years. Ah, what could be. That being said, in reality land, Rutgers is terrible. They have scored a grand total of 23 points their last 4 games vs Big 10 games. All 23 at home, 16 vs BC, 7 vs Maryland. Did I mention getting blasted 30-0 at Iowa and 52-0 at Michigan. Ok, Hoosiers may not be that level. The fact Indiana put a 31 spot up on Michigan State is enough for me to get behind them. Yeah, even a Sparty team that was possibly looking past Indiana. Is Rutgers that much better than UConn who Hoosiers beat 38-3? I don' think so. Eastern Illinois lost here 52-0. I can see something in between like the 45-10 range. I feel safe laying 30 here off a bye week.  5* Best Bet INDIANA HOOSIERS

4* Total Money OVER Colorado/ Oregon 

4* Total Money UNDER Giants/ Patriots 

Taking the PATRIOTS. I'll lay the big number again with New England. We had Minny over the Giants last week also. NYG are not a good team. Don't be fooled by a comeback win in Tampa. Or a win over the Redskins with a rookie QB who came in after an injury after not taking a snap. And, Danny Dimes wasn't that great there anyway with his turnovers. Now he is on the road, short week, after the team was exposed again at home. Good luck vs this Patriots defense. Big number, yes. But NE will get their 30. Won't be shocked if the defense sets up a couple short fields. Also on the Under. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 

Taking the NINERS. Have not seen a single thing to warrant backing the Browns. I get it. You are thinking. Huge road win over division rival. Well. Baltimore looked good whipping Miami. They struggled vs Arizona. Got a back door in KC. And throttled by the Browns. Who. Struggled at the Jets. Couldn't do anything vs the Rams who gave up 50 to the Bucs. These Niners have surprised me out of the gate. Short number. Browns with a target on their backs because of their personalities. Don't like the Cleveland HC. All I know is that since Shanahan has come to SF, the Falcons can't do a lick on offense. Homers get it done. 4* Money Maker SF 49ers 

Taking the COWBOYS. I get that people will be giddy getting Aaron Rodgers at a FG or maybe even 3.5. This game is going to be a Dallas BLOWOUT. One. Let's talk about what we last saw from Dallas. Them struggling in the Dome vs the Saints. Wasn't like the defense didn't show up. Hats off to Sean Payton and company out-coaching Jason Garrett though this is nothing new. At home, off a prime time loss, Dallas primed for a rout. So GB has some extra rest. They need it. They were just exposed by the Eagles. If you want to say Dallas didn't play anyone, let's talk about the Packers defense and their performances. You really impressed with them shutting down the Bears and Broncos. And getting Cousins at home to throw a bad INT - No DeVonte is a big blow to Rodgers WR corp. Someone will probably step up, but it won't be enough. Think Dallas OC adjusts, and Zeke has a monster game to open things up for Dak. 10* Money Bomb DALLAS COWBOYS 

4* Total Money UNDER Broncos/ Chargers 

Taking the BRONCOS. Ugly for sure. But I have to think to myself. Why is this line so low? I mean, Rivers at home should carve this team up. But, we have a brutal HC patrolling the sidelines. He looks across to a football lifer who was actually a pretty damn good DC for a lot of years. Win-less is not where Vic expected to be, that's for sure. Denver hasn't forced a turnover. Von Miller has been invisible. And yet, I see this line. I'm gonna sprinkle some ML on this puppy. 4* Money Maker DENVER BRONCOS 

Taking PATRIOTS. I'll square play these guys. Didn't have any skin in the game last week. Kinda liked Buffalo and the points, but the numbers showed Brady historically destroys them. And to be honest. 13-0 early and Brady gets picked in endzone. It is 20-0 going half and not 13-3. Let's not forget Brady with 0 TD passes last week and just 150 yards passing. This guy is an ego maniac. He isn't talking another game off going through motions. He is throwing 3-4 TDs this week. Plus, a bonus if Redskins roll out Haskins for his first official start. Won't be shocked to see Gruden not even coaching this game depending how his week goes. 4* Money Maker NE PATRIOTS 

4* Total Money UNDER Minny/ Giants 

Taking the EAGLES. Will lay the 2 TDs basically here. Look. We have extra rest. We have Philly seemingly getting better as the games progress. Jets a hot mess. Darnold injury just buries the season for NY. They can't rush him back. Bell saying the right things, but the mercurial RB is basically, in my eyes, a time bomb. Eagles should be able to exploit the defense for 4 scores. Wentz should have a nice day. The defense has no excuse possibly facing a 3rd string QB. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 

Taking TAMPA BAY. Should have grabbed these guys earlier for the extra hook. But honestly, not sure it matters. Yeah, maybe we get a couple average bettors jumping on TB cause of their huge outburst last week. Facts are though, they have played NO tough. At home winning heading into the 4th, lose 28-14 after 17 points from Brees. That was after beating NO on the road 48-40. 31-24, a Tampa home win the previous December. They have split out the regular season going back to 2015. And that is with Brees. Granted, Bridgewater isn't chopped meat. But he isn't Brees. Offense hasn't look good in 2 of 3 games. They got some TOs and special teams help in Seattle. Tampa can move the ball and put up points. I like their HC. This division is wide open right now. Anything is possible. 4* Money Maker TAMPA BAY 

Taking ATLANTA. Will grab the Falcons here. Tough yes. Looked terrible last week at home as we did cash on the Titans in that spot. I do have that future ticket for Atlanta to win the NFC South. Just too much talented to be wasted on the offense here. And let's be honest. Houston is as bad an up and down club as the Falcons. Their coach may possibly be worse. Make no mistake. Falcons lose here and you can close the door on their season. Rally the troops Atlanta. 4* Money Maker ATLANTA FALCONS 

Taking the BEARS. Call me crazy. Call me anything you want. Just don't call me late for dinner. Said on my video last Sunday about this Bears offense. I think they are better with Mitch OUT. Give me Chase all day long. The offense can't get worse. Oh yeah, LONDON ALERT. This isn't in Oakland or LA, or Vegas or wherever the heck the Raiders lay their heads down. These outfit is half a globe away from home. You don't think Mack is going to wind up his buddies to make sure to release the dogs of war on his former team and coach? If Chicago can get any offense going this is going to be a blood bath. This would be a normal 10* Play. But have to downgrade a bit based on the travel, time, field. Bears roar behind their defensive leader. 5* Best Bet CHICAGO BEARS 

Taking the VIKINGS. On these guys AGAIN!! Yes, we have been on Minny all season long with mixed results. I'll tell you this - If Cousins can't solve this defense, it is really time for them to move on. Eat the contract. What a waste of this WR dynamic duo. Not to mention their TE. Cook should feast on this Giants defense. This is a BAD TEAM people. Don't be fooled by a crazy comeback at Tampa or the fact they beat a rookie QB who looked lost last week. Daniel Jones has some problems that just haven't come up and bite him yet. Fumbles and INTs vs this defense, rest assured, will be turned into points by this anemic offense. For me. This is really a season changer for the Vikings. They should come in here with their excellent HC and defense and really dictate this game to the Giants. Cousins, even with short passes should carve these guys up. The NFC North is there for the taking. 8* Sure Shot MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking OHIO STATE. I know Michigan State brings a defense. But until I see the Buckeyes offense slowed down, I am not getting in front of it. 26-6 last year, 48-3 the year before. The question isn't will Sparty slow down Ohio State. The question is can Michigan State get into double digits to sneak in the back door! I'll forgive giving up 31 to Indiana (OSU 51-10 @Indy this season) last week with Ohio State on deck. Clear look ahead. But, Sparty struggled with Arizona State at home. They got 3 INTs from Northwestern. OSU putting up 52ppg giving up 8. - Sparty always seems a bit slow vs OSU. And I don't think their D is up to the task vs these athletes. 5* Best Bet OHIO STATE 

Taking GEORGIA. So we lost with the Bulldogs against ND. That was a pretty physical game and bye week was much appreciated. Now time to get back to business. And that is destroying week teams to make the top SEC teams look powerful and mean. Hello Tennessee. Oh how the Vols have fallen. Guys quitting the team in September. Georgia by 41 and 26 the last 2 games. This should shape up as a 30pt win. Not bothered by the OC for Tenn having been on GA sidelines. The Vols offense and QB situation in complete shambles. Tenn 4-13 ATS last 17 at home. 8* Sure Shot GEORGIA BULLDOGS

4* Total Money OVER Air Force/ Navy 

Taking NORTHERN ILLINOIS. Don't be fooled by Northern Illinois coming in with 3 straight losses. Playing at Utah, Nebraska and Vanderbilt is a bit of step of from MAC play. Now the huge drop off to Ball State. A team that NIU has dominated going 17-3 last 20, 10 straight wins and 7 straight ATS covers. Huskies much better team, battle tested. Nothing better than coming home where you are 47-9 SU last 56 games. This should be a 10 point win. 10* Money Bomb NORTHERN ILLINOIS 

Taking IOWA STATE. Can't have faith in TCU. What team is showing up? The one that used 3 QBs in putting up 51 last week vs Kansas? The one that lost at home against SMU ? This game is going to be ugly. Give me the SR QB at home in Purdy. 4* Money Maker IOWA STATE 

Going OVER the total here. I think the Sooners score at least 60. If they get some defense scores, they could hit this total themselves.  Anything from Kansas is a bonus. 4* Total Money OVER Sooners/ Kansas 

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE. This is not your old Texas Tech team. First off. They are on their 3rd QB of the season. Their old offense is in the NFL. This team is struggling right now. We will toss out the recent numbers head to head based on that. New regime for the Red Raiders. Will on across the field, Gundy just keeps the offense churning. I just don't think Red Raiders can keep up. I know double digits on the road, in conference is a tough pill to swallow. But TT, 1-7 SU and 1-6-1 ATS last 8 games. Tech put up 14 against Arizona and 16 vs Oklahoma. Can't have faith backing that. Add in a revenge spot for the Cowboys. 5* Best Bet OKLAHOMA STATE 

4* Total Money OVER Lobos / Spartans 

Taking UCF. I get it. People down on these guys right now. Their undefeated and Playoffs hope dashed by a loss at Pitt. Now everyone thinking that Cincy is live home dog. I get it. But this line will probably bottom out around here. I saw some 4.5s which are no long gone. Central Florida just on a 28-1 SU regular season run. That is tough to ignore. Again, we are small fave. Cincy off a blowout win over Marshall. I think that dropped this line a bit. UCF rolled Uconn in a final score that was not even that close. UCF putting up nearly 50ppg and has scored 30 or more in 31 straight games. Not saying UCF is Ohio State, but Cincy can be had by some speed across the field. How about Cincy just 1-5 last 6 as a home dog. 8* Sure Shot UCF 

Taking SEATTLE. I can see where part of you wants to come on and back a team that scores 40. I can see where you want to back a team that gave up 55 at home, since, you want to prove you aren't that bad. But what we have seen, two very extreme sides to the Rams. We see them struggle to put up 20 points in Cleveland. We see defense vs Saints and Browns. We see they can't stop Bucs. We see Goff struggle. We see 500 yards. We see 3 INTs. We see Gurley clearly has something wrong. We see this team is not a Super Bowl contender. I had these guys under 10.5 wins to start the season, still feeling real good about that. Now they face Seattle. Always tough at home. We had our Top Play on Seattle last week. And with good reason. Pete Carroll isn't letting rookie QBs and HC make him look dumb. He just went to work and won. Last year, 2 slug fests that Rams won 36-31 and 33-31. Gurley 120 in one game, 3 TDs in another. That guy isn't showing up. You know who is. Russell Wilson. Guy has been doing it for years. Not a flash in pan like Goff or injured like Gurley. 4* Money Maker SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the BENGALS. Both these teams in for a long season. I'll grab the veteran QB who has performed pretty good in prime time. Cincy already moved on from their HC and has a new regime. Pitt facing those choices now with Big Ben out of picture and them struggling. I know Pitt at home is tough, But I just do no think they are that good. We see no quit in Cincy. Tough at Seattle. Tough at Buffalo. Won't be different vs rival. 4* Money Maker CINCY BENGALS

Taking the COWBOYS. Have yet to see the Saints defense show up for a series this season. Not a chance they can slow down Dallas. Even if Brees was playing, we would be on Dallas. Tons of talent on both offenses. Just think Cowboys D is a step or two above N'awleans. 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS 

Taking the VIKINGS. We have been on these guys all season. Will come back again here on the road. We had Packers over Bears here. We will take Minny over Bears. Vikes bring their own pretty good defense to the battle today. Getting a FG, I know its tough with Cousins and how he screws things up sometimes. But, this is a balanced attack. Not high on Chicago offense at all. They will be coming off MNF so that helps us a bit in the rest department. 5* Best Bet MINNESOTA VIKINGS 

Taking the BUCCANEERS. Rams on a short week. Didn't look to impressive barely eking out a cover. I get they are home where Goff plays better. But tough spot with angry Bucs in town. They themselves off a heart-breaker. 4* Money Maker TB BUCS

Taking SEATTLE. Punt return and a fumble return for TD put Seahawks in a tough spot. Gotta believe in Pete Carroll to have these guys ready to rock a rookie QB and HC. Clear edge on the sidelines for us. Panthers just came here and did whatever they wanted to do. Something that the Ravens couldn't do at home. But with a backup QB across the field, Arizona was ambushed by a 4 TD outings. Russell Wilson comes in off a 400 yard game. 4 of the last 6 games have been decided by a FG. The other two, a tie and a 6 pt win. I think this is going to be a beat down in the 30-10 type range. 440+ yards per game for Arizona D with 0 INTs yet. Cards 1-15-1 SU last 17 games. 10* Money Bomb SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 

Taking the CHARGERS. I know. Laying huge numbers here. But this Miami team is terrible. Rivers to Allen alone should account for 28 points. And I am not saying he catches 4 TDs. I am saying along the course of the game that this combo is going to be position to put up at least 4 scores. Where is Miami getting 14 points from? Because I see at least 30 from the Chargers. 133-16! 6pts a game for Dolphins. Now back to back losses for LAC. 4* Money Maker LA CHARGERS 

Taking the REDSKINS. Man. You would think that the next Brady, Manning, Phil Simms just fell into the Giants laps last week. The hyps is strong on Danny Dimes. Maybe fellow rookie Haskins makes and an appearance this afternoon. Look. I am not as high as everyone after one game. Everyone loving NYG today. Redskins have some pride themselves after being humiliated on MNF (we had them). Sign me up for the real ugly dogs early. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON REDSKINS 

Taking the TITANS. I like the Falcons. This is their division to lose know with Brees out. I have them at a nice plus money ticket to win the South. But my oh my do they play down to teams. Their failures on the road continue after losing to Vikings and last week to the Colts. They mauled Philly in a physical affair - but, let's not forget they had to pull that win out of their butts. 6 INTs for Matty Ice after 7 all of last year. For me though, we get extra rest with Tennessee. The are going to try to run, run, run and then throw to their tight end. I think this is going to be an ugly affair. Falcons seem to play down to teams. But, Titans 12-10 their last 22, how about 8-16 last 24 for Atlanta. We have the better defense in a game of two desperate teams. Coin flip game to me and we are getting a bit more than a FG. 5* Best Bet TENNESSEE TITANS 

Taking NEVADA. Wolfpack on a 6-1 SU/ ATS run here vs Hawaii. Not hot and sunny here. Cold coming in. Hawaii on road always tricky. Last 5 games here have all be 10+ point wins for Nevada. Rainbows also -12 in turnovers on the year. Again, on the road, you can't turn the ball over multiple times and expect to win games. 4* Money Maker NEVADA 

Taking ARIZONA. No no no. Not sold on UCLA. Even though they buried us coming back from a 49-17 hole. What do they have in the tank here after putting up 63? And really. A team that had not scored more than 14 in a game scored 50 in 20 minutes. Not buying it. Arizona in off bye and back to back road games for bad teams helps our cause. UCLA now 2-16 last 18 SU on the road.  5* Best Bet ARIZONA 

Taking NORTH TEXAS. Was looking at this game before the King news. Figured to be a high scoring affair. King a beast with 50 TDs last season. But do not overlook Mason Fine. He's no slouch. Mean Green should be at top of CUSA North. Balanced O that is stacked with experience. Defense can be shaky. But little brother vs big brother and now a blow like this to Cougars. 8* Sure Shot NORTH TEXAS

Taking OHIO STATE. Rolled with these guys last week. Putting up 70+ with Nebraska on deck. And said Cornhuskers trailed on the road last week by 14 multiple times as a near 14 pt road favorite. Buckeyes are scoring 44+ tonight. I think the defense does the rest in a 20+ pt win. 5* Best Bet OHIO STATE
