4* BC+ over Hamilton

Despite the line movement down, we still see BC winning this SU considering their aggressive defense wants this more.  Take the points, and look for an outright win by the visitor.  GL.

7:00 Eastern

4* Temple+ (115) over Houston

For our expectations this season Temple has been somewhat of a surprise in key spots, 

but their defense was smashed last week by Central Florida 52-40, but note UCF was an 

undefeated football team. Now the Philly Owls must rebound on the road in a tough 

setting down in Houston.

Recall the Owls were a very solid 5-3 before last week running on the backs of QB

Russo and RB Armstead. They are 4-1 SU in the East coming into action. The high

flying Cougars are winners of 7-of-9 going 4-1 in the AAC West. The first advantage

we find for Temple as they accrue two additional days of practice/rest since they last

played on November 1st. Both units show off SU losses after winning streaks.

The Owls are averaging almost 34 points a game, the Cougars almost 45, but the

Owls have the more effective defense. Technically, Houston is 5-2 ATS at home and

5-1 ATS on turf. However, the Owls come in 21-7 ATS off a SU loss and 22-6 ATS in 

conference. Also, the Owls bring a solid 8-2 ATS mark in November.  So, with QB 

Russo leading Temple we look for a SU win by the visitors from Philadelphia.

Good Luck.

3*  OREGON STATE -10 OVER Wyoming

Don't like laying this early in the season, but this is a revenge game for the Beavers at home.  Last year Wyoming at home won SU as an underdog, but they now just on Justin James for their offense as they brought back 2 DD's only.  Since the Pokes played a turkey in game #1 we'll take a small ticket with ORS who seem ready at the right spot Saturday.  Good Luck.

3* Georgia over Kentucky

In Las Vegas when the lines open for CFB you have about 15 minutes before valued has been extracted by the betting community on selective sides and totals.  Here Georgia came open in most watering holes about -10 or -9-1/2.  Since there has been so much action on the Wildcats with the game coming to the state of Kentucky.  However, and although, I would love from the sporting standpoint to log the Wildcats, can't see it with this being a "critical" game for the 'Dawgs and their playoff changes.  Lay the points, and then go out to dinner, don't watch this baby because believe you will see a turnover filled game because of all the emotion found herewith.  Good Luck.

10*  MARYLAND+  over  Michigan State

Maryland and Michigan State are both 5-3 this season.  However, after being shutout by Iowa two weeks back the Terps have came to live crushing the Illini 63-33 in a wide open game.  Michigan State although holding strong is coming off a murderous strength part of their schedule against Northwestern, Penn State (A) Michigan and Purdue.  Despite losing by 14 to the Blue, they rebounded nicely 23-13 as we expected in the office.  This encounter is being played at Maryland with an early start which should help the unit at rest.  Last season, MSU led 17-0 before Maryland could score any points 17-7 win for the Spartans.  The issues in that game were bad weather, including snow, and a Maryland offense that completed just 2 passes, while rushing for 2.6 yards per carry.  So, if you can imagine a revenge game, this is it.   No doubt State leads the series 7-2 SU.  However, the Terps have regained offensive confidence and we see a huge upset that will change bowl invitations. Remember the Spartans are suffering from injury issues now.  From the techs come a super 0-4 ATS for Michigan State after a SU win.  Good Luck.

5* Philadelphia +1-1/2 over Boston

NHL Puck Line Best Bet...BDS

10*  Dallas over Washington

From the Washington perspective what I like about this game is the fact they play after a somewhat phony win against Carolina.  In that encounter the Panthers checked in with three early turnovers to alter the psychology of the football game...Washington 23-17.  Dallas is one of my favorite teams now from the talent and aggression standpoint, as they are now accruing solid play out of the QB position. The techs generate my angles for Dallas with a 4-0 ATS streak.  Also, the Pokes 5-2 ATS against the NFC East and 5-2 ATS in the series.  Trending the 'Skins have a 1-6 ATS mark versus the NFC East and 1-7 ATS record after a SU win.  Finally, with Washington 0-4 ATS in week #7, take Dallas.  Good Luck.

4* Titans +7 over LA Chargers

This is a great encounter for Tennessee under valued, away from home against a highly marketed unit.  Charges, not so great, inflated road number in letdown spot, while taking the Titans for granted.  Tennessee shows in an old NFL system for neutral sites as the dog, 11-5 ATS.  Good Luck.

5* Northwestern over Rutgers

Realize RB Larkin will must likely not play again this week, so expect the 'Cats rushing game to suffer again, I think, as Rutgers has 3rd problems stopping the running game.  Don't forget this Rutgers has an inconsistent offense with problems at the quarterback position.  Also, can't expect their defense to stop the 'Cats outstanding passing attack, while noting NW has gone 3-0 SU in the Big-10 with wins over Purdue, Michigan State and Nebraska. Against the spread they show 4-0 ATS this season.  Overall, the 'Cats are 21-5-1 ATS in conference, 4-0 ATS on turf and 9-1-1 ATS during October.  The Scarlet Knights come in 1-5 ATS against the Big-10 and 8-20 ATS off a SU loss.  Good Luck.

8:3O EASTERN

4* INDIANA+ (713) over Milwaukee

Overnight and early this afternoon the Vegas number hovered around the

Bucks -3-1/2, that's enough for this handicapper to make play on the Pacers.

Coming into the season the Bucks were thought to have more talent and

skill than the Pacers. Still, must give respect to Indiana in this rough

road assignment.  The off-season additions apparently have issued an 

early statement, so we expect Indiana to hang around all night with a 

chance to win SU.  The Pacers show 4-1 ATS in the series, covering 5 

straight games overall on the road. In addition, they have a sensational

8-1 ATS mark versus the Central  Milwaukee, despite some strong preseason

press clippings are 0-5 ATS after a SU win, 5-13 ATS at home. Take the points.

3* Hamilton over Ottawa

The line has moved around this week, especially considering Ottawa is at home.  We know they have generated recent success against the visitor.  Still, we see this being one-sided game despite the number indication.  Hamilton has superior players on offense and should overcome the emotional home unit.  The Tiger-Cats show 5-0 ATS against the East and 10-3-1 ATS in road sets.    Ottawa brings a 1-5 ATS record at home, not a good situation.  Good Luck.

4* Penn State+ over Ohio State

Grab the four now as the public and sharps will move on this quickly.  Last year at Ohio State, the Bucks won 39-38 and we see somewhat of a replica Saturday.  Huge revenge game for PSU, especially considering their 1-5 SU mark L6 against this hated foe.  But, we must back the Nits who are at home Saturday night, with revenge and the under valued underdog to say the least.  There are some key pieces missing from the 2017 from the Blue and White, however, the Bucks come in off a major blowout showing 1-4 ATS L5 after scoring 40+ points.  Good Luck.

3* Virginia Tech+ (133) over Duke

CFB Fan Appreciation Winner...BDS

Okay, QB Jackson is out for Tech and the defense took a hit in personnel and ego last week allowing 49 points to "ODU!"  The Gobblers now go on the road facing Duke that has won 7 straight games after crushing 55-13 against NC Central last week.  They had defeated Baylor, Northwestern and Army prior to last week.  Tech mounted over 300 yards rushing last week in their loss to ODU, this gives us an inclination that we may have an overlay on the board.  VPI has won back to back games in the series 24-3 and 24-21.  Realize the Devils appear to be world beaters, but just can't trust them laying this number.  The former Kansas QB Pruitt takes over for Jackson and the kid can play, but we assume he will be highly conservative early.  Granted with Jackson, VPI won game #1 of the season against Florida State 24-3 getting +7, so we can't discount the overall ability of the unit.  The underdog in the series is 4-1 ATS, while Tech begins 6-1 ATS after allowing 40+ in a loss.  In closing, the Blue Devils bring a 1-4-1 ATS mark after an ATS loss.  GL

3* ARMY+ (109) over Buffalo

No doubt the Bisons are flying high winning 4 straight (3-1 ATS) games.  The Cadets just missed the Sooners last in OT 28-29.  They are 2-2 SU (2-1-1 ATS) this season against a fairly good schedule.  These two have split the 16-17 games by three and four points, which is an indicator the habit maybe appropriate.  The Cadets are rated #2 in rushing the football, 315 yards per game, and should create issues for the Buffalo defense.  Technically, Army is on a 4-1 ATS run as an underdog. And, with the public projecting a letdown after OU, we have accrued sufficient value to make this another CFB Appreciation special.  Good Luck, and thank you.

3* Memphis over Tuland

Friday Fan Appreciation Move

Actually laying a tough number down in Louisiana tonight, but must give great respect to the Tigers critical stat pack.  First off, Memphis shows #12 in scoring (44.0), while the Greenies are ranked #118 accruing 15.7 points per game.  Average yards per attempt brings Memphis in with one yard on the season.  However, were the two schools differ is rushing yards per attempt offensively and opponents yards per play.  The Tigers are rated #1 in the country running the football with a 8.7 yards per rush, defensively the are holding their foes to 4.8 yards per play.  Tulane has been running at 3.6 yards (#102) per play, while ranked #89 in opponents yards per play with 6.1 yards per.   Memphis controls the series ATS with a 13-3-1 mark, 4-1 ATS L5 at Tulane.  Also, they show 12-1 ATS on the road versus a losing home unit.  Tulane comes in 1-10 ATS in Friday editions, and 1-3-1 ATS off a SU loss.  GL.

10* Seattle -1 Run over Texas

We know the Rangers are reeling right now and just might be in another negative funk traveling up to Seattle.  They had a manager issue, lost three straight and face lefty Gonzalez tonight.  By the way, Gonzo shows off a super 6 innings last time out against the Rangers allowing just one hit and no runs, and that was back on the 22nd so he has had sufficient rest. With Gonzalez off a quality start Seattle is 10-1 L11. Also, Seattle is 5-1 off a loss L6 on the diamond.  Juardo of KC opposes and comes after a horrible 2-2/3 innings down in LA giving up 5 hits and 3 earned runs, he has a 9+ ERA L3 starts.   Further, the depressed Rangers are 0-6 on the road versus a >.500 home unit and 5-12 against lefties.  Seattle minus -1 run is the value inside.  Good Luck.

4* LA RAMS over Minnesota @  8:20 Eastern

The home standing Vikings play with a 1-2 SU record, losing to the once struggling

Bills 27-6 last week. QB Cousins (965) is the #2 rated passer in the NFL suffered

some inconsistency, while being harrassed by the DL of Buffalo. We note, Minny 

does have a few offensive linemen banged up. Overall, you Twould think the Vikes

are going to rebound from their horrible weekend. They are traveling to LA on a

short week, but have won 5 straight in the series. The Rams show 3-0 SU against

units with a combined record of 1-8, out scoring 102-36. They have the #1 

scoring defense in the NFL holding the opponents down to just 12 points a game.

Offensively, Goff (111.0) and Gurley (255) have been highly effective supported

by their wideouts and effective offensive line. LA is 6-2 ATS in September and

4-1 ATS L5 week #4 encounters. The Rams are a perfect 3-0 ATS in 2018.  The 

visiting Vikings bring a 0-4 ATS mark against winning teams, while going 1-4 

ATS when challenging the NFC.  Good Luck.

5* Carolina over Cincinnati @ 1:00 Eastern

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK…BDS

The Bengals visit Carolina with a 2-0 record (68/46) sitting in first place in the AFC.  Carolina starts 1-1 (40/39) being tied for 2nd place in the NFS with Atlanta and New Orleans.  Critical here is the fact that Cincinnati will be without RB Mixon, he is their key to a balanced attack. In addition, the Bengals are hurting at key positions.   On the road last week Carolina fell behind Atlanta early down 24-10 going into the 4th quarter, rallied but still came up short 31-24 to “Matty Ice” and company.  In 2017 Carolina dropped their last two games of the season on the road.  Clear indication the Panthers have a better chance at home laying FG or less.  Cam Newtown seemingly always fares better in this building and will get much needed assist from the locals.  And, with Carolina leading the NFL in yards per carry, we expect a ball control game and a lower scoring game than expected.  The Bengals are 5-11 SU in road games, and 1-3-1 ATS L5 when facing the Panthers.   Carolina has won 5 straight games at home and show 5-1 ATS L6 at home.  Lay the small price with the Panthers.  Good Luck.

 5* IOWA +3 over Wisconsin @ 8:30 Eastern

COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME OF THE WEEK…BDS

 Last week road warrior Wisconsin actually lost a home game to BYU 24-21. The Cougars rushing attack crunched the Wisky defense for 191 rushing yards. Iowa started slow against Northern Illinois, but led 38-0 going into the 4th quarter.  Iowa’s defense held NIU to 6 yards rushing, therefore, few scoring drives.  The Badgers are on a 5-1 SU streak against the hated Hawkeyes, but they still must gain closure after that devastating loss which knocked them out of the rankings.   Talking much about the running attacks, over the last two meetings won by Wisconsin 17-9 and 38-17, the Hawkeyes managed a combined rushing total of 108 yards.  If Ferentz wants to win this prime-time special Iowa needs to win the line of scrimmage.  No doubt Hornibrook and Stanley will battle it out as offensive leaders and quarterbacks. Critical, Iowa’s Stanley must not replicate his 8/24 performance in 2017.  Fortunately, for the Hawkeyes they are gaining a few injured key pieces to their lineup.  Wisconsin has won the last two in the series by 55-26, however, the Hawkeyes smell blood and should be inside the upset tonight.  Granted Wisconsin has been a super play on the road against the spread, but Iowa is on a solid 5-0 ATS run.  In addition, they show 6-1-1 ATS at home and 4-0 ATS after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in a game.  Wisky 0-4 ATS on turf and 1-4 ATS during September.  TAKE THE POINTS.

5* Ole Miss (366) over Kent State @ 12:00 Eastern

Normally, would not lay this number with Ole Miss after 'Bama, but must estimate that the Rebs will want to save face in the SEC after their last flounder.  Remember, they have edge on the offense side at QB and RB, especially considering the smallish KSU smallish secondary.  As we fully expect Ole Miss to achieve second level space after their passing game shocks the visitor.  The Rebels are a PERFECT 4-0 ATS after losing by 20+ points and 5-1-1 ATS after achieving under 170 yards passing (Alabama defense).  Kent State shows 1-6 ATS L7 after surrendering 40+ points and 1-5 ATS chasing the SEC.  Good Luck, and thanks for using BDS.
