Minnesota at Phoenix 10:30 ET

Timberwolves/Suns- UNDER- As most of you are aware I do not use and over/under or ‘Total’ releases until we reach the playoffs and they have been very successful.There is one clear cut reason I believe that this game stays UNDER the total and it has nothing to do with the players on the court. Here it is...in the past 10 meetings the lowest ‘total’ between these two has been a 212.5 and the highest was 238 with the average number at 222.5. This price (on the total) is so far away from the norm that I want to know why...I’ll wait for the final. Play UNDER!  

Miami at Kansas City 8:15 ET

Dolphins/Chiefs- OVER- This is unsettling to actually take Miami, the Miami Dolphins whose quarterbacks has never play a game with the temperature below 40 degrees. From Hawaii and having played his college career at Alabama and now playing in Southern Florida Tua Tagovailoa reaction to the Kansas city cold is open to discussion. Most do not believe that the Dolphins can meet the challenge of playing a team with a winning record on the road and overcoming the stigma put on them. I recall last January Miami traveled to Buffalo without Tau in snowy and frigid conditions and gave the Bills all that they could handle. This contest does pit the Fins No. 1 offense 401.3 YPG against the Chiefs No. 2 defense allowing 289.9 YPG. The fact that everything actually points to Kansas City as they rested almost all last week against the hapless chargers while Miami was getting beat up by Buffalo and enter limping onto this fray. Okay here’s the rub with these conditions and all the things that I mentioned the total is way high and is inviting ‘Under’ action and they are getting it. The anti-Christ at work...PLAY OVER!

San Francisco at New York Mets

Mets over Giants OVER- When I see New York’s David Peterson (2-6, 7.00 ERA) listed as a starter I immediately think runs, runs and more runs. So the Giants will counter with Ross Stripling (0-2, 6.88) who has been knocked around this season. The combined WHIP of these two is almost four base runners and per inning. Play OVER!

Houston at Texas 3:35 ET

Astros/Rangers (OVER)- Texas is leading the ‘bigs’ in runs scored and the World Champion Astros are not far behind. The Rangers average six runs a game and that average rises when they pay at home. Houston will start Shawn Dubin (0-0, 15.00 ERA) has had only two appearances and they have not been good. Both side put ‘em up today. Play OVER!

Chicago White Sox at Tampa Bay 4:05 ET

White Sox/Rays UNDER- Both of today’s starters are pitching like the ace’s that they are billed to be.  Chicago’s Dylan Cease (2-1, 2.01 ERA) has allowed just 12 hits in 21.1 innings which is even better than last year’s ratio of 12 hits per 18 innings. Tampa Bay will send their best out  to the mound as Shane McClanahan (4-0,1.57) allowing just 15 hits in 24 innings. Play UNDER!

Creighton vs San Diego State 11:20 ET

Aztecs/Bluejays- UNDER- This one should be simple...if you have the winning of th game you most likely will have the Total correct as well. because if you like the Bluejays you will be happy to play the Over as they are 9-3 Over at neutral sites and 6-2 over in their last eight games. The Aztecs have played Under in their last 11 games and 14 of their last 15. So which team is to dictate tempo...Play UNDER!

Connecticut vs Gonzaga 8:45 ET

Huskies/Bulldogs UNDER- Yes, I am aware that Gonzaga is the leading scoring team in the country averaging 88 PPG while posting the nation’s best FG percentage at 52.9%. Connecticut is no wall flower when it comes to offense either as they average 79 PPG ranking No. 29. Although the Zags defense isn’t what it should be they will play up to their opponents talents and the Huskies do play defense allowing a mere 64.8 PPG playing that east coast basketball. The contrast in styles could not be more on display then what you will see here Saturday night. Play UNDER!

Xavier vs Texas 9:45 ET

Musketeers/Longhorns-OVER- This has been a season tat will be remember by Longhorn fans for years to come. Head coach Chris Beard was arrested in December and was fired within two weeks but the Longhorns continued their stampeded through the Big-12 this season winning both the regular season and  Tournament. Xavier got here through their offense averaging 82.1 PPG ranking 12 while surrendering 74.5 ranking 305. Over is 12-5 in Musketeers last 17 games at neutral sites while Over is 13-6 in the Longhorns last 19 NCAA Tournament games., Play OVER!

Kansas City vs. Philadelphia 6:30 ET

Chiefs/Eagles UNDER - To be truthful this play may be even stringer than the side. The general public and even many experts have run to the over here and the price keeps going up and I advise anyone that is playing the UNDER to wait as long as possible for the best price. Phill’s No. 1 defense should do their job and the Chiefs will make adjustments of their own. Big game pressure keeps this one low scoring. PLAY UNDER!

Cincinnati at Kansas City 6:30 ET

Bengals/Chiefs UNDER-  At first glance I would suspect your first thought about this game is that it will be high scoring as tow of the NFL’s top quarterbacks are about to face each other in what most believe will be a shootout. This is so natural that one doesn’t consider just how good the two defenses actually are. Both teams are proficient in stopping the run ranking 7th and 8th and they both surrendered a combined 21 points each per game ranking 6th and 7th in points allowed. Cincinnati has been and Under play for some time now as they are Under 26-10-3 in their last 39 road games and 12-3 Under in January. The Chiefs are 6-1 Under in their last seven home games and the Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Play UNDER!

Seattle at San Francisco 4:40 ET

Seahawks/49ers- UNDER- The weather and field conditions are to be difficult to play under but both of these guys are used to playing in rainy, wet, dank and nasty situations. The field is suppose to bog down the running game and both of these sides are generally conservative as it is and under this conditions they will look to safe errors and protect the ball. It should stay UNDER!

Dallas at Tennessee 8:15 ET

Cowboys/Titans UNDER - Tennessee has absolutely nothing to play for because win or lose they play for the Division Championship next week at Jacksonville. They are tied with the Jaguars at 7-8 but hold the tie-breaker edge and with a win next week they are in the playoffs. The Titans of course would love for QB Malik Willis to get some playing time but many of their starters on both sides of the ball will be rested. Ryan Tannehill is down for the count and the Titans haven’t won since Nov. 17 so one more week won’t matter especially if the rest Henry. The Cowboys are looking to keep their momentum going after defeating the Eagles last Sunday. Big D is 11-4 ATS in last 15 road games and the Titans are 1-4-1 ATS against winning teams. Forgetaboutit...both sides will not be eager to get liberal offensively in this  meaningless contest. Play UNDER!

Green Bay at Miami 1:00 ET

Packers/Dolphins (OVER)- Miami comes limping home after three straight road losses and they didn’t look good at any time during their slide. Green Bay has won back-to-back games to give many false hope and even Aaron Rodgers is upbeat. Tua Tagovailoa still leads the NFL in QB rating 107.8 and will be back in his comfort zone where the Dolphins are 5-1 SU and scored 30 and 39 in their last two home starts. Look both QB’s to have good days weather permitting and this should go OVER the total. OVER!

Philadelphia at Houston 8:15 ET

Texans (+) over Eagles- The soaring Eagles (7-0) remain the only unbeaten NFL squad and the odds are at at 11-1 that they would go undefeated. I don’t believe that they might even lose here and anything is possible in the NFL world but, they aren’t even in a look-ahead spot with Washington (4-4) up next. Jalen Hurts has done a great job with his 105.1 QB rating leading the Eagles to the No. 3 ranked offense but it is the defense that sets it all up. They are allowing just 298 YPG and lead the NFL with 16 take-a-ways. This mismatch gets wider when we see Houston with the offense ranking 31-of-32 and a defense ranking 30-of-32. The only way I see the Texans staying close and that’s all I’m really hoping for is that the Eagles are not looking to humiliate another Union member. So, if Philly isn’t looking to rub it it this game should stay UNDER!

Boston at Cleveland 7:30 ET

Celtics/Cavaliers (Under)- This is the second meeting of the season between these two as the Cavaliers handed the Celtics their first loss of the year 132-123 in overtime last Friday in Boston. I expect this meeting with take a different tract and I look for it to play out as their previous four meetings had gone Under the total. Boston is under 4-1 on the road and plays tight defense here. Play UNDER!

Indianapolis at Denver 8:15 ET

Colts/Broncos (Over)- Both of these clubs started the season with 'new' quarterbacks and playoff expectations and neither have shown much offense in their first month.The Indianapolis Colts were picked by many to win the AFC South after bringing Matt Ryan on board but Indianapolis (1-2-1) has struggled so far. The same is true for the Denver Broncos (2-2), who were expected to compete for the AFC West after trading for Russell Wilson in the offseason. The Colts who galloped along and lead the NFL in rushing last season are ranked 27th this season gaining just 87 YPG. Indy's defense is ranked No. 6 allowing just 297 YPG while Denver's 'D' is even better allowing just 284 YPG ranking No. 4. With all those terrible numbers on offense I can only expect a high scoring national TV audience. He OVER is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings and there's not much more for me to say. Play OVER!

Philadelphia at San Francisco 4:10 ET

Phillies/Giants (UNDER)- This is a 'number' game and with these two pitchers scoring should be at a minimum. The Under is 7-2 in Phillies last 9 road games vs. a left-handed starter and the Giants are Under i3-0-1 in Giants last 4 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Under is 37-18-3 in Giants last 58 after scoring 5 runs or more in their previous game. Play UNDER!

Boston at Minnesota 7:40 ET

Red Sox/Twins OVER- Boston Red Sox rookie right-hander Brayan Bello (0-3, 7.36 ERA) will be aiming for his first major league victory when he takes the mound against the Minnesota Twins. The Twins plan to start veteran right-hander Dylan Bundy (7-6, 4.56) is 4-9 in 21 career appearances against the Red Sox, including 16 starts, with a 5.36 ERA. OVER is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Play OVER!

Atlanta at St. Louis 7:05 ET

Braves/Cardinals UNDER- Atlanta's newest starter Jake Odorizzi (5-5, 3.95 ERA) tossed six strong innings in a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in his last start. He allowed the one run on four hits while striking out seven batters and retiring 14 of the final 15 batters he faced. He is 2-1 with a 2.91 ERA in four career starts against the Cardinals. The Cardinals, who have won 11 of their last 14 games, will start Adam Wainwright (9-9, 3.11) on Sunday. Wainwright allowed just three runs on 11 hits in 22 innings over his last three starts. Wainwright is 10-4 with a 3.46 ERA in 20 career outings against the Braves, including 15 starts. He has had success against Dansby Swanson (0-for-8), Ronald Acuna Jr. (0-for-5) and Matt Olson (1-for-5, two strikeouts). Play UNDER!

Toronto at Boston 7:10 ET

Blue Jays/Red Sox (OVER)- Boston will start Right-hander Brayan Bello (0-3, 8.47 ERA) who will make his return from a Triple-A rehab assignment to start Wednesday. The Red Sox are 16-33 against American League East opponents and 3-11 against the Jays this season. On July 24, Bello allowed five runs on nine hits in four innings against Toronto. Right-hander Jose Berrios (9-5, 5.39) gets the nod for Toronto and in nine career starts against Boston, Berrios is 1-5 with a 3.86 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 53 2/3 innings. Play OVER!

Milwaukee at L.A. Dodgers 10:10 ET

Brewers/Dodgers- Under- Corbin Burnes (9-5. 2.48 ERA) and Tony Gonsolin (15-1, 2.12 ERA) need I say anything else? Listen to this, between them these two last year's Cy Young winner and this year's most likely winner are a combined 272 innings pitched and have surrendered just 171 hits. No one gets on and no one scores. Brewers stink at the plate as it is. Play UNDER!

N.Y. Mets at N.Y. Yankees 7:10 ET

Mets/Yankees- UNDER- MaxScherzer (9-2, 2.15 ERA) is 4-1 with a 1.82 ERA and 75 strikeouts in nine starts since returning from an oblique injury. The 38-year-old right-hander is 4-4 with a 3.48 ERA in 10 career starts against the Yankees, whom he last beat April 6, 2013, while with Detroit. Scherzer struck out 14 in 7 1/3 innings in his last appearance at Yankee Stadium on May 8, 2021, in a no-decision for Washington. The Yankees' Domingo German (1-2, 4.45) makes his seventh start since a shoulder injury delayed his season debut. German took a no-decision in an 8-7 win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday when he allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings. German is 1-1 with a 4.43 ERA in four career starts against the Mets. He opposed Scherzer on July 27 and allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings.

Play UNDER!

St. Louis at Arizona 8:10 ET

Cardinals/D'backs- OVER- Struggling left-hander Madison Bumgarner (6-12, 4.37 ERA) will start for the Diamondbacks on Saturday and right-hander Dakota Hudson (6-6, 4.17) will pitch for the Cardinals. Bumgarner is 0-3 with a 7.33 ERA over his past four starts. He has allowed 34 hits and walked eight in 23 1/3 innings during the stretch. The 33-year-old lost to the Giants on Monday when he gave up a season-worst six earned runs as well as eight hits over 5 2/3 innings. Bumgarner defeated the Cardinals on April 29 after allowing one run and three hits in five innings. He is 5-6 with a 5.26 ERA in 14 career starts against St. Louis. Hudson is winless in his past six starts and has a 5.10 ERA during the stretch. Play OVER!

N.Y. Mets at Atlanta 7:10 ET

Mets/Braves UNDER- New York's Jacob deGrom (2-0, 1.62 ERA) took a perfect game into the sixth inning when he faced the Braves on Aug. 7 in New York before allowing a walk and a two-run homer. He finished with 12 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings, allowing one hit and two runs. He has allowed only six hits in his first three starts and has yielded no more than three hits in any single outing. In August, deGrom leads the majors with 28 strikeouts, a .109 opponents' batting average, a 28.1 strikeouts-to-walk ratio and 3.24 hits per nine innings.

He is 6-4 with a 2.46 ERA in 14 starts in Atlanta. Fried is 5-5 with a 2.86 ERA in 19 career appearances (14 starts) against the Mets. Play UNDER!

Toronto at N.Y Yankees 7:05 ET

Blue Jays/Yankees OVER- Toronto has dropped eight of 12 meetings with New York this year and is 2-4 in New York after winning eight of 10 games at Yankee Stadium last season. The Blue Jays are 4-9 in their past 13 games and 20-12 under interim manager John Schneider. Right-hander Frankie Montas (4-9, 3.59 ERA) will make his third start and home debut for the Yankees. Montas is 1-1 with an 8.10 ERA in two career appearances against the Blue Jays. His only start against them came on May 3, 2021, in Oakland, when he allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings during a 5-4 win. Right-hander Jose Berrios (8-5, 5.61), who has allowed 13 runs and four homers in 7 2/3 innings over his past two starts, will open the series for Toronto.

Detmers, a left-hander, started five games in his first season last year, but he began this season in the starting rotation.

Cards are 11-3-2 Under is the last 16 games started by left-handers. Play UNDER!

Atlanta at Boston 7:10 ET

Braves/Red Sox (Over)- Atlanta dropped the final three games of a five-game road series against the New York Mets over the weekend, dropping 6 1/2 games back of the Mets for the National League East lead. The Braves will try to stop their skid behind veteran right-hander Charlie Morton (5-5, 4.09 ERA) who has just one win in his past 10 outings. Boston has lost three of four on the road to the Kansas City Royals over the weekend and have dropped four of five overall. Ever since a 19-4 run in June got the Red Sox 11 games over .500, they have gone 12-25, dropping five games behind the final AL wild-card spot. The Red Sox plan to start veteran left-hander Rich Hill (4-5, 4.52 ERA), who's seeking his first win since June 26. The OVER is 15-4-2 in the last 21 meetings. Play OVER!

N.Y Yankees at Seattle 10:10 ET

Yankees/Mariners- (UNDER)- The Yankees' Jameson Taillon (10-2, 3.96 ERA) is scheduled to oppose fellow right-hander Logan Gilbert (10-4, 3.09) In Monday's series opener.

Taillon is 2-0 with a 3.57 ERA in three career starts against Seattle. Gilbert is 1-0 with a 4.38 ERA in two starts vs. New York. This time around they both bounce back with quality outings. Olay UNDER!

Boston at Kansas City 2:20 ET

Red Sox/Royals (Over)- Right-hander Brad Keller (5-12, 4.61 ERA) will take the mound for the Royals, while Kutter Crawford (3-3, 3.86) will start for the Red Sox. Keller had trouble finding the strike zone, falling to 2-9 after 14 starts he's lost his past three, including allowing a season-high eight runs on 13 hits in 5 2/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. Keller is 0-1 with a lofty 8.10 ERA in five career appearances (three starts) against the Red Sox. Play OVER!

Washington at Philadelphia 1:35 ET

Nats/Phils Under)- Right-hander Aaron Nola (7-8, 3.25 ERA) will make his 22nd start of the season for the Phillies. He has pitched six or more innings in his last 12 starts. Last time out, he gave up a run on six hits over six innings in a win against the Pirates. Nola is 6-8 with a 4.08 ERA in 26 career starts against Washington, including 0-1 with a 1.72 ERA in two games this season. Washington right-hander Cory Abbot (0-0, 1.00) will make his third career start. His second career start was special. Starting in place of the injured Erick Fedde, the 26-year-old matched zeros with Mets ace Jacob deGrom and the Nationals eventually got to the New York bullpen for a 5-1 win. Abbot pitched five scoreless innings and surrendered just two hits. Play UNDER

N.Y. Yankees at Toronto 4:10 ET

Yankees/Blue Jays- UNDER- This matchup has a pair of 2022 Cy Young hopefuls starting for both side. New York will send Jameson Taillon (7-1, 2.93 ERA) to the hill and in two appearances this season against the Blue Jays he has surrendered just three runs. Toronto will go with their best in Alek Manoah (8-1, 1.67) who allowed just one hit last time out had held the powerful Yankees to one run in his lone start against them this season. PLAY UNDER!

Tampa Bay at N.Y. Yankees 7:05 ET

Rays/Yankees UNDER- Very rarely do I play a regular season total in MLB but this matchup of lefties has me looking forward to one of those pitching duels that you will able to talk about. I'll start with Tampa Bay who have one of the worst hitting lineups in the AL and they will be facing 'Nasty' Nestor Cortes (5-2, 1.96 ERA) who has one of the best hits (45) to innings (64.3) pitched with 71 strike outs and only 14 walks in 11 starts. The Rays will send Shane McClanahan (7-2, 1.87) who has been just as effective as Cortes surrendering just 43 hits in 72.3 innings with 98 K's and just 13 walks. Both these guys will be playing in the All-Star game and tonight you will see why. Free swinging Yankees will be all or nothing and I just don't see it and the Rays just stink on offense. Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings. Play UNDER!

Boston and Golden State 9:00 ET

Warriors/Celtics UNDER- I was a bit surprised that Game 1 went Over the total with Jayson Tatum shooting as poorly as he did (3-for-17), but Curry and Horford picked up the slack. In Game Two we won the 'Under' easily as Tatum once again struggled to score and expect it to happen again. I believe it's time to use the fact that Boston has the No. 1 defense in the NBA and that the Warriors are right behind them at No. 3. This one stays UNDER!

Boston and Golden State 9:00 ET

Celtics (+) over Warriors- I was a bit surprised that Game 1 went Over the total with Jayson Tatum shooting as poorly as he did (3-for-17), but Curry and Horford picked up the slack. I believe I it's time to use the fact that Boston has the No. 1 defense in the NBA and that the Warriors are right behind them at No. 3. This one stays UNDER!

Boston and Golden State 9:00 ET

Boston/Golden State (Under)- Celtics No. 1 total defense allowing 104.5 and the Warriors are ranked No. 3 allowing 105.5. The Under is 19-7 in the last 26 meetings, the Under is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings in Golden State and Under is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 NBA Championship games. Also the Under is 10-1 in Warriors last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Only one way to go...play UNDER!

Boston and Miami 8:30 ET

Celtics/Heat (UNDER) - Okay, we have all seen the series and if you put in the lines for this series and going back the last 10 meetings between these two the 'totals' have run from a high of 224.5 to a low of 202.5 and an average of 205 in this series. Sunday's night's 'total' on this game is 10-points lower than the series average. Play UNDER!

Dallas at Phoenix (Total) 8:00 ET

Mavericks/Suns- UNDER- The Dallas Mavericks are the NBA's No. 2 ranked defensive team (No. 1 since trading Porzingis) and have given Chris Paul fits in this series. They realize that their best chance to win here in to use their greatest attribute...their DEFENSE! Play UNDER

Memphis at Golden State 10:00 ET

Grizzlies/Warriors- (Under)- The Warriors have alternated over and unders their past seven games and after Memphis scored 134 points in the last meeting and they are 5-1 to the Under after a win of 10 points or more. I expect things will slow down at Golden State where these two are 6-1 Under in the last eight and Under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings overall. The Warriors are ranked No. 3 in points allowed surrendering just 105.5 PPG and they have gone Under 4-1 in five games following a loss. Play UNDER!

Phoenix at Dallas 3:30 ET

Suns /Mavericks- UNDER- Dallas held Phoenix to their lowest point total of the season and keep them under 50% shoot from the floor for the first time in the playoffs for the Suns after nine straight. The Under is 17-7 in the last 24 meetings in Dallas and the Suns are 21-6-1 Under in their last 28 games after a SU loss. Mavs No. 2 defense is Under 20-6 in last 26 as home underdogs. Play UNDER!

Boston at Milwaukee 3:30 ET TOTAL

Celtics/Bucks-UNDER- Okay here's the skinny. Boston is 10-1 to the 'Under' in their last 11 semifinal playoff games while the Bucks are 7-0 'Under' in their last seven games overall. Milwaukee is also 18-6 'Under' in their last 24 playoff games as favorites.. Remember the Celtics are Still No. 1 on defense allowing just 104.5 PPG as well as No 1 in FG and 3-point FG allowed. Play UNDER!

Miami at Philadelphia 7:00 ET

Heat/76ers- UNDER- With or without Joel Embiid the Sixers know that in order to turn things around it starts on defense. Miami still one of the tougher defensive team and are 6-1 Under in their last seven games overall and Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Play UNDER!

Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET

Mavs/Suns -UNDER- I know, with starts like Doncic, Paul, Booker and Jalen Brunson it's easy to imagine this game going over the total. After all Phoenix does average 114.8 ranking 6th and they are the No. 1 FG shooting team at 48.5%. And although the Suns are an 'Over' team they are 6-2 Under in their last eight playoff games and Dallas is 44-21 UNDER after loss. Play UNDER!

Milwaukee at Boston 7:00 ET

Bucks/Celtics- UNDER- The high scoring Milwaukee Bucks ranked No. 3 averaging 115.5 PPG have gone UNDER the total in six straight games and the margins below the 'number' were incredible. Their last six games have gone 'under' the 'number' by 28.5, 9.5, 5, 30, 0.5 and 51. That's right 51-points under the total against the Bulls with the 'total' at 230 the Bucks won 93-86 in Game 2 non-cover victory. Boston is ranked No.1 on defense allowing only 104.5 PPG. Play the UNDER!

Chip's NBA Power Play Total

Pelicans/Clippers-OVER- With all the trends saying go Under I just have difficulty in this spot playing anything but the OVER is the side here as the play-in and elimination game to be played tonight. The Clippers Paul George has returned with some sparkling offensive stats and that will send this game OVER!

San Antonio at New Orleans 9:30 ET

Spurs/Pelicans- This isn't such a tough call as these two play low scoring games when going head-to-head as they are Under 7-1 in the last eight meetings overall and 4-1 Over in New Orleans. San Antonio is 5-2 Under in their last seven games as underdogs and the Pelicans play Under 13-5 as home favorites in their last 18 overall. Play UNDER!

L.A. Clippers at Minnesota 9:30 ET

Clippers/Timberwolves OVER- Minnesota finished the season the NBA's leading scoring team at 115.9 ppg and were ranked No. 24 on defense allowing 113. The Timberwolves are 5-1 Over in last six games as home favorites and the Clippers are 4-0-1 Over in their last five road games and the over is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings. Play OVER!

Villanova vs Kansas 6:09 ET

Wildcats/Jayhawks- OVER- This seems like such an obvious Under as Villanova is 8-1 Under at neutral sites and Kansas is 7-3 Under when favored. Both of these clubs play fundamentally sound basketball deliberate which should lead to a low scoring game but, both side are excellent scorers and the Wildcats lead the nation in free throw percentage. Play OVER!

Washington State vs Texas A&M 9:00 ET

Cougars/Aggies- UNDER- These tow have played different styles with different results according the the las Vegas oddsmakers. Many believe that both of these offenses will out-shined both defenses. Texas A&M played 22-15 Over this season whereas the Cougars played heavy to the Under 13-21-2. So it appears the teams that controls the tempo will dictate the pace of the game and it is more difficult for a team to slow down and have to adjust their offense. Play UNDER!

Miami vs Kansas 2:20 ET

Jayhawks/Hurricanes- OVER- At 79ppg Kansas has one of the most potent offense remaining in the tournament while Miami's defense ranks in the bottom quarter of the 364 Division I schools. The Canes have gone 'Over' 10 of 14 neutral site games while the Jayhawks are 11-5-1 'Over' in their lats 17 neutral site games and 7-3-1 Over in 11 NCAA tournament games. I can see Kansas getting the eld and the play getting looser as the game progresses. Play OVER!

Houston vs Villanova 6:09 ET

Wildcats/Cougars- UNDER- There is no way that I see either team having an exceptual day scoring the ball on the other sides defense. Pace of play by the Wildcats will keep this low scoring as well as the Cougars No. 7 defense allowing just 58.9ppg Villanova's defense is ranked No. 36 and a not to shabby 63.6ppg allowed. Play UNDER!

Cincinnati at Kansas City 3:00 ET

Bengals/Chiefs UNDER- When two great passing offenses go against each other they also must face a secondary that has faced that passing offense in practice and for the most part are the best qualified to face their opposition. The Bengals one of the better passing teams went under 11 of 19 games but the Chiefs are on a current 7-0 over streak. But, under is 19-7-2 in the Bengals past 28 road games and the under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. Play UNDER!

Bills/Chiefs (UNDER) – The numbers are 'OVER' whelming as Buffalo is 8-0 'Over' in their last eight as underdogs and 6-0 Over in their last six road games. And that's no the end of it, they are 9-2-1 'Over' playing on grass and 4-1 Over in the last five meetings. Kansas City is 'Over' 6-0 in last six and 6-0 Over as favorites. But, know what? This is OVER KILL! Bills have the No. 1 defense allowing just 272 YPG including No. 1 in passing yards allowing just 163 YPG. Chiefs rely on Mahomes and this should stay...UNDER!

San Francisco at Green Bay 8:15 ET

Niners/Packers (UNDER) – It's not just the elements, it is the idea that the Niner's do not want to pit Garoppolo against Rodgers. They will work the clock in the cold with a punishing ground game led by Deebo Samuel and keep the pace at a crawl. SF is 6-1 Under in their last seven playoff games and Green Bay is Under 7-3 their last 10 games on grass. Play UNDER!

Las Vegas at Cincinnati 4:35 ET

Raiders/Bengals- OVER- The offenses and defenses are midland for both these clubs and they have already faced each other this season where the bengals gained a total of 278 yards on offense and the Raiders gained 268 scoring 45 points between them with the total at that time 51 and the game went under. Cincinnati has been and 'over' team going 5-1 over in their last six home games while Las Vegas has gone OVER in 14 of their last 20 games as underdogs. Play OVER!

Wake Forest vs Pittsburgh 8:00 ET

Demon Deacons/Panthers OVER- The two top quarterbacks in the ACC meet in the Championship Game as Pittsburgh's All-Conference Kenny Picket with be opposed by Wake Forest's second team choice Sam Hartman. Picket has 40 TD passes while Hartman has thrown for 3.020 yards and 28 touchdown in nine games. The Demon Deacons scored 42.9 PPG and the Panthers average 42.8 ranking these two 3rd and 4th nationally. Play OVER!

Golden State at L.A. Lakers 10:10 ET

Warriors/Lakers UNDER- Great way to start the season with the vamped up LA Lakers against Golden State who return six of their top eight players but will still be without All-Star Klay Thompson who hasn't played a full season in three years and missed all of 2020. The Warriors went 5-0 during the preseason while the Lakers were 0-6 and this contest might prove that once again those game are just practice sessions. LA added Russell Westbrook to play side-by-side with LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the likes of Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan and the results remain to be seen. Seems odd that with Warriors Stephen Curry the total would drop from an opening 231 to where it is now. Golden State has played the the under in 19 of their last 26 road games. Play UNDER!

Carolina at Houston 8:15 ET

Texans (+) over Carolina- This is a really tough call and it has taken me most of the day to finally squeeze the trigger and make the call. Houston as we are all aware are down to their third quarterback as Tyrod Taylor who replaced Deshaun Watson has a rib injury and the duties have fallen upon rookie Davis Mills. The 2-0 Panthers have a refreshed Sam Darnold at the helm and he looks and is playing like a different guy from what we saw when he led the Jets. Both offenses are comparable but Carolina's defense has been outstanding ranking No. 1 allowing just 190 total yards per game. Play UNDER!

Detroit at Green Bay 8:15 ET

Lions/Packers UNDER- Green Bay is in the middle of a terrible run as they scored just three points in their opening week loss to the Saints and have yet to 'cover' or go 'over' any games this year. In the pre-season they were shut out by Buffalo 19-0 in the final game before the regular season opener and lost to the Jets 23-14 and Houston 26-7 scoring just 24 points in their four games overall this year. Granted Aaron Rodgers did not play a down in the preseason but he did play against New Orleans and managed just a field goal. Relax, don't panic, we have heard this mantra spewed by Rodgers before despite gaining just 43 yards rushing in their opener and only 133 yards passing. The Lions trailed the 49ers by 24-points before staging a late rally that fell short in their opener but allowed the Niners 8.0 yards per play. The 'Under' is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the Lions are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and the 'Under' is 4-0 in the Packers last four games against teams with losing records. Play UNDER!

New England at Philadelphia 7:30 ET

Pats/Eagles OVER- I always like to back teams that have a strong quarterback competition working for them during the NFL preseason and that fits the bill for New England. After a painful losing season last year the Patriots have three QB's taking snaps with Cam Newton, Mac Jones and Jarrett Stidham who has played in eight games the past two seasons. Philadelphia jumped out to a 16-0 halftime lead against the Steelers first time out and went scoreless with the scrubs in the second half losing 24-16 as the Eagles had just 10 first downs. Tonight they will be focused on moving the football behind Jalen Hurts and Joe Flacco. Play OVER!

N.Y. Jets at N.Y. Giants 7:10 ET

Totals (35) UNDER- After what I've seen in training camp between these two New York Metropolitan clubs it will be a long while before either of their offense will reach NFL playoff caliber. Staring with the Jets who have zero quarterback experience and none of their three roster QB's has yet to appear in an NFL game and have a new coach and system after winning just four games last season. This is a big year for Daniel Jones but he won't be active here and the Giants will still be without Barkley and defense is what the are made up of posting the 9th best last season. Play UNDER!

Money Game

L.A. Clippers at Dallas 9:30 ET

Clips/Mavs (UNDER)- It's the old adage go 'be careful what you wish for.' The Clippers tanked their final two games (disgracefully) so that they could avoid playing the Lakers and draw the Mavericks. But, Dallas is a group of professionals that had their pride injured and responded with a pair of wins at Los Angeles and take a 2-0 advantage into Game 3. Instinct tells us that the desperate and favored Clippers will post a win here but I'm not so sure. What I am most confident in is that this game should stay under the total. LA is 7-1-2 Under is their last nine playoff games and the Under is good 5-1 in the last six meetings and here's the kicker, the Mavs are 21-5 Under when playing as underdogs and 15-7 Under at home. Play UNDER!

Golden State at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET

Warriors/Lakers (UNDER)- I'm going to be forced to bombard you with stats and trends for this selection and you'll understand why I like it so. Start with the season records of both clubs as Golden State is 30/42 to the Under on the season and the Lakers were 28/43 to the under. GS is 19-7 Under on the road and the under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings. LA #2 defense and #22 offense playing right into the total. Curry under average by 9-points against LA. Play UNDER!

Houston vs Baylor 5:15 ET

Cougars/Bears UNDER- All I can say is that both of these team play great pressure and man defense. Houston is No. 2 in points allowed at 57.6 while being No. 1 in defensive FG percentage allowed at 37%. Baylor who averages 85.3 points per contest also play aggressive defense and man-to-man. The Cougars are 23-9 UNDER as dogs and 19-7 UNDER against teams with winning percentages of 60 or better. Play UNDER!

Tampa Bay vs. Kansas City 6:20 ET

Bucs/Chiefs- Total UNDER- What can I say other than to wait as long as you can before making this bet as I expect the 'price' to move in only one direction and that is higher...I can give you all kinds of stats and trends but these two facts are constants. Kansas City has the No. 1 Passing (303ypg) and Overall offense with 416ypg averaging 29.6ppg while the Buccaneers have the No. 1 rush defense and allow 22.2ppg. Here's the gig this game will stay 'Under' with one or more TD's having been called back because of penalties ...HA! Play UNDER!

Tampa Bay at New Orleans 6:40 ET

Buccaneers/Saints UNDER- Yeah, I know, I know that the quarterbacks are the headliners here as a pair of Hall Of Fame QB's in the GOAT Tom Brady and his closest statical rival Drew Brees clash. But, these guys have seen better days and bothy their teams rely more on defense as the Saints are No 4 overall and the Buc's are No. 1 against the run. Tampa has been an 'Over' play for a number of season because of all the turnovers not they protect the ball while New Orleans is an 'Under' team going 'low' 7 of 8 after a SU win. Play UNDER!

Baltimore at Buffalo 8:15 ET

Ravens/Bills UNDER- This one just figures to stay under when one considers the major factors surrounding this contest. Weather...you think about it no most likely not be a factor but if it does develop it will help 'our' situation. The Ravens want to keep the ball out of Josh Allen's hands and will look to sustain drives and Buffalo will be a bit conservative not looking to commit turnovers (21) as Baltimore's opportunistic defense that has forced 23 turnovers. Play UNDER!

Ohio State vs Alabama 8:00 ET

Buckeyes/Crimson Tide (OVER)- It is probably best that you play this as late as possible as the number opened at 76.5 and has been knocked down to 74.5 in places and may drop even more before game time. Why who knows sometimes the public and wiseguys alien. But, these two offenses are the nuts! Average yards per game Ohio State is at 530 and Alabama at 544 and both a fairly well balanced. The Buckeyes average 85-yards more per game on the ground while Alabama averages 101 yards passing and scoring is huge as the Crimson Tide scored 49.7 points per game and OSU put up 42.5 per contest. This goes OVER! Thank you and Good Luck!

Chip's AFC Power Play Totals Winner

Browns/Steelers (OVER)- One thing these two do have in common in one dimensional offenses. Pittsburgh is pass happy and is last in the NFL in rushing with 84 ypg and the Browns will try and run you to death at No. 3 averaging just under 150 ypg. I just don't see either defense stepping up to stop the others offense. Play OVER!

Chip's NFC 'Money Game' Totals Winner

Bears/Saints- The obvious side here to me is playing this game under and that's what I'm doing. I've been warned against it some of my NFL 'experts' but sometimes you just stand up and say 'No' I just can't do it. So 'we' have UNDER...Saints defense better than most realize at No. 4 allowing just 310 ypg while Chicago's offense is No. 26....UNDER!

Chip's AFC Megabucks 'Totals' Winner

Ravens/Titans (OVER)- I can't see this one going any other way! The numbers are telling as the Titans have the No. 3 ranked offense and score at a 30.7 clip and their defense is among the NFL worst allowing nearly 400 ypg and 27.4 points scored. Baltimore has found offensive balance, no not run pass but run-run with Jackson and Dobbins. Tennessee is Over 22-6-1 last 29 games overall and 15-5-1 Over at home. Play OVER!

Chip's NFL Power Play Totals Winner

Tampa Bay at Washington 8:15 ET

Buccaneers/DC Swampers- Yup, Washington has the No. 2 defense behind the Rams and the 30th ranked offense. Tampa Bay's offense is No. 7 but No. 3 in scoring at 30.8 ppg and No. 2 passing yards. That's why the DC boys defense which prides on the run stop will have to deal with Tom Brady's passing. Play OVER!

Chip's NFC 'Money Game' Totals Winner

L.A. Rams at Seattle 4:40 ET

Rams (+) over Seahawks- Defense, defense, defense...the last three meetings including two this season have all gone Under, but the previous four had all gone Over. It just seems too easy to play this game Under. In playoffs 'tings change.' Play OVER!

Chip's AFC Megabucks 'Totals' Winner

Indianapolis at Buffalo 1:05 ET

Colts/Bills UNDER- So now everyone is overwhelmed by the Colts running game because Jonathan Taylor ran for a franchise record 253 yards last week but it was against Jacksonville. Numbers wise the Colts are 13-6 Under when dogs and Under is 9-2 in their last 11 road playoff games. Buffalo is an Over team and are 10-2-1 Under in their last 13 following a SU win. Stay UNDER!
