10* ECU +10.5

This game will be played on a neutral field in Charlotte. QB Holton Ahlers can run and pass and is a junior. Coach Mike Houston has been at ECU for a few years. I think App State wins but like ECU plus the points on Thursday.

Thanks and good luck!

10* under 68.5

Hopefully both teams are slow to score in their opener and we see only 62 to 66 points.

Thanks and GL.

10* TB +3.5

These two played a 27-24 earlier. TB has a better defense. I think we see a solid game that is close. Most of the Brady Super Bowls have been close. Take the +3.5.

10* KC -3

I just think Mahomes will play and KC finds a way to win and cover at home. Buffalo has been solid but are we really sure about Josh Allen on the road in the playoffs.

KC by 7

10* New Orleans -3

New Orleans won both games this year easily, one by 11 and one by 35.

I think Brees has gotten healthy and the Saints defense has been one of the five best in the NFL this year. 

Tom Brady has been great as usual but I think we see a Saints win.

TB 20

NO 27

Thanks and good luck.

10* under 76.5

All it takes is for one team to miss a field goal or struggle in the title game and we see a 41-35 game that stays under.

Both are solid teams on offense but can step up on defense at time enough to see an under in this pressure game for the title.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Pittsburgh -6

The Steelers have motivation after losing last week to Cleveland.

Big Ben is back for the home team.

Steelers by 7 or more.

10* Washington +9

Washington is a big home underdog in the playoffs, a rare sight in the NFL. However, they are well coached by Ron Rivera and have a solid defense led by Chase Young who can slow down TB and Tom Brady.

QB Alex Smith is sure to be the Comeback Player Of The Year and he has been solid and the passing game is decent under McKissic.

I expect Tampa Bay to win by 4 to 7 so take the points.

10* under 68

Notre Dame struggled to score in their game with Clemson and looking back to semifinals involving Clemson/Ohio State we have seen scores much lower than 68.

Take the under on Friday.

10* Okla -1

This is a nice match up. UF has played in the SEC and did well vs. Alabama. Okla is 6-1 in their last 7 and has experience playing in this stadium. Kyle Trask is a great QBbut I think OU has the better defense.

OU wins by 5.

10* NE +7.5

Buffalo won the earlier meeting at home but New England covered as the victory was by 3 points. Buffalo wrapped up the division but I think NE stays within 7 on Monday night.

Thanks and good luck.

10* LA Rams +1

Seattle just wrapped up a playoff spot while LA is trying to make the playoffs. The Rams were looking ahead and lost to the Jets last week. I think they bounce back with Jared Goff playing well as the Rams are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

The Rams have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Seattle will be at home but won't have their electric crowd. 

I think we see the LA Rams win.

LA 24

Seattle 20

Thanks and good luck.

10* Liberty +7.5

Liberty played in this bowl last year. The Flames were 3-0 ATS vs. ACC teams and face an undefeated Coastal Carolina team that beat BYU at home. Liberty is well coached by High Freeze who is solid as an underdog and led by a QB who can run and pass...and was good enough to go play at Auburn.

Take Liberty +7.5.

10* NE Patriots +1.5

The Patriots play Miami on Sunday and have the better defense. Miami has a young QB (Tua) but has some injury issues. Hopefully, Cam Newton can make a few plays for the visitors who have the better coach in HOFer Bill Belichick.

NE wins by 3.

10* Tulsa +14.5

Cincy has had Covid issues and hasn't played since November. Cincy is a strong running teamand Tulsa plays them yearly so they should be prepared. I think Cincy wins but Tulsa stays within 10 to 12 points.

Thanks and goo luck!

10* Virginia +3

These two are going in opposite directions. UVA won last year after losing 15 in a row. VT has had injury issues as well as Covid problems. UVA lost in OT at VT two years ago and should have won. I think the Cavaliers win but take the +3.

Thanks and good luck!

10* Washington +7

I think we see the WFT stay within 6 or closer. We have seen the Steelers have some close games. I think Pittsburgh wins but WFT covers.

10* under 47

The Jets have the worst offense in the NFL as they score just 13.5 ppg. The Raiders are off a bad loss at Atlanta and must travel east for another game on Sunday. I think they worry about protecting the ball and we see a game in the 38 to 45 points range.

Take the under and good luck as always!

10* BYU -10

Coastal Carolina was ready to face Liberty and now goes against BYU, a team ready to make a statement. QB Zack Wilson has 26 TD's and just 2 picks and run for 8 TD's. CC lost to Louisiana by 48-7 last year and lost to South Carolina by over 20 as well in recent seasons before putting things together this year.

I like BYU to win by more than 10.

10* Minn -3

Mike Zimmer is 64% ATS. I think the Vikings beat Carolina by 3 or more today. Teddy Bridgewater looks to return back to Minnesota and play QB. I expect Kirk Cousins will play well and Cook will run and catch some key passes.

10* over 54.5

Clemson should have Trevor Lawrence back and ready to make a statement after not playing in several weeks. Pitt has shown they can score with their QB.

I think we see 60 points so take the over.

10* ND -4

One key to this game is senior QB Ian Book for Notre Dame can pass and run and that helped the Irish beat Clemson.

The UNC defense is young and needs an edge rusher as well as a big/strong tackle inside to slow down the running attack. Mack Brown still needs more recruits on defense.

UNC QB Sam Howell is a great passer but slow and that hurts his efforts to run. OC Luongo has been unsteady in some calls on offense (too many laterals/backward passes that are fumbles if not caught).

This should be a great game but I see ND winning by 7 or more as UNC seems to make key mistakes this year (fumbles and penalties).

10* KC -6.5

KC is 19-1 straight up since a loss to Green Bay last year. Their only loss was to Las Vegas. I expect Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will be out for revenge. LV has played well lately but I think we see the Chiefs win by 10 to 14 on Sunday night.

Thanks and good luck!

10* Liberty +3.5

Liberty is 2-0 vs. ACC teams and won at Va Tech two weeks ago. The Liberty QB can run and pass and played earlier with an SEC team. The Flames are undefeated. NCSU gave up over 40 points to UNC. They are using a back up QB that is up and down.

I think we see a close game on Saturday so take the +3.5.

Thanks and good luck!

10* Seattle -3

I like Seattle to win and cover the 3 points. Arizona is off a miracle Hail Mary vs. Buffalo. Seattle lost at the LA Rams and lost in OT at Arizona earlier.

I expect Russell Wilson to run/pass his way to a win on Thursday night.

Thanks and good luck!

10* Chicago +3.5

The Vikings have been hot but Chicago has won the last 4 meetings and needs this win to right the ship. Minnesota has been good with Kirk Cousins at QB and Dalvin Cook on the ground but I expect Chicago to step up at home, in this division game and on national TV (Monday Night Football.)

Chicago is mostly +3 but there are a few +3.5's.

Thanks and good luck!

10* BC +14

Notre Dame is off a double OT win over #1 Clemson and now travels to Boston in a possible let-down game. BC is 8-1-1 ats in their last 10 home underdogs games. The BC QB transferred to the Eagles from Notre Dame and should be motivated.

I think ND wins but take the points.

10* ECU +28

ECU led Cincy in the 4th quarter last year before losing a close game. Holton Ahlers should be able to complete a few passes to help ECU score. The Bearcats are a good team off wins vs. SMU, Memphis and Houston and may overlook the Pirates.

Cincy wins by 21.

10* Minnesota -3.5

Minnesota hopes to build off a road win at Green Bay as Dalvan Cook was awesome. The Vkings are 0-3 SU at home but are 22-10-3 ATS as a home favorite. Detroit has been up and down but mostly down. 

The Lions seem to make key mistakes on offense, defense and special teams under coach Matt Patricia.

Minny seems to be able to win at home vs. Detroit and I see a win by 7 or more on Sunday.

Thanks and good luck!

10* Iowa -6.5

Iowa will be at home and facing a Michigan State team that just beat key state rival Michigan. 

I think Iowa bounces back from a loss and wins by 10 to 14.

10* NE +4

NE looks to bounce back in a key AFC East game vs. Buffalo. Bellichick knows Josh Allen (Bills QB) well and will play zone to cause problems. NE may win but take the +4.

10* Boise St -14

I think we see BSU win by 20.

BSU 34

AF  14

Thanks and good luck.

10* Chicago +6

Both teams are a little overrated. The Rams played poorly last week at San Francisco and should bounce back with Jared Goff. However, the Bears are a solid defense that has Nick Foles at QB who can make solid plays.

I think the Rams win by 4. Take the points on Monday.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Carolina +9 (-131)

Teddy Bridgewater has shown that he has been solid as an underdog. Carolina lost RB Christian MCaffrey a few weeks ago but has bonded and played well.

New Orleans is off a bye and dealt with an injury to WR Michael Thomas. Drew Brees has not shown he can throw the deep ball lately. I think we see Carolina stay within 6 points.

10* NC State +16.5

NCSU is 4-1. These two are located just 30 minutes apart in the heart of the state. UNC won last year but NCSU won the three before it and won in OT two years ago in Chapel Hill.

UNC lost at FSU and should bounce back with a win by about 10 points. Take the pointsasthe Wolfpack should be able to run and complete short passes.

10* under 57.5

The Bills are off a game with Tennessee in which they lost badly and played poorly on defense. I think we see an under due to the early start (5pm Monday) and different circumstances.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Minnesota -3.5

Minny is 19-4-1 ATS after a loss while Atlanta hasn't won and changed coaches. The change may motivate the Falcons but I think we see the Vikings win by 6 or more.

Thanks and good luck!

10* Central Florida -2.5

The think we see CFU bounce back after a bad loss to Tulsa in which they had a double digit lead before half.

Dillon Gabriel is a solid QB for the Knights with plenty of experience.

CFU has a better defense as well. There should be plenty of points scored. CFU has played well against Memphis in the past.

CFU by 7 points.

10* C Carolina +8

Most books have this at +7.5 or +7.

Coastal Carolina won earlier for us as an underdog at Kansas. I think they can stay within 7 tonight. They have a solid QB who can make some plays on the road.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Cincy +13

Joe Burrow and Mixon (running back) should help a confident Bengal team stay within 10 to 12 points on Sunday. The Ravens are tough with Lamar Jackson but it is a division game and hard to win by 14+ in the NFL.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Va Tech +5.5

Mack Brown is just 8-24 ats as a favorite in the past 32 games. VT is 2-0 and getting a solid effort from their senior running back. UNC is off a close 26-22 win at Boston College after not playing for 3 weeks and was rusty, as expected.

These two have played close games lately and VT is 6-2 ats in the past 8 meetings. I think we see a game decided by 3 or 4 points on Saturday.

Take the points.

10* Dallas -3.5

The Browns are off a home win and go on the road where they are 0-7 in the past 7. Dallas is giving up lots of points but giving up plenty at Seattle is not a shame.

Dak Prescott and their receivers should play well vs. a Brown's secondary that is banged up. Ezekiel Elliott should be able to run for 50 -75 yards. 

Hopefully, we see the Cowboy defense get up for facing Baker Mayfield, Odell Beckham, etc.

Dallas by 7.

10* over 54.5

These two scored 79 points last year in the ACC title game. Clemson has scored 37 vs. Wake Forest but left points off the board and scored 49 at the half vs. Citadel.

Virginia played fast in game one vs. Duke and should get 17 points or more. I think we see close to 60.

Thanks and good luck.....

10* NE -5

New England is off a loss on the road and returns home to face Las Vegas, who won by 10 in their first home game over New Orleans. I expect a letdown for the 2-0 Raiders and for New England (under Bill Belichick) to bounce back and win by 7 or more.

10* Duke +5.5

Duke is playing their third game while UVA is playing their first. Virginia is without last year's star QB Bryce Perkins.

Duke last badly at Notre Dame due to turnovers and should learn from them.

I expect the Blue Devils to stay close and for the game to end 24-21. Take the points.

10* NE +4

Seattle is home but won't have a loud/large crowd in their building. NE coach Belichick is rarely an underdog but his team ran for 253 yards last week. Cam Newton can run some and make plays. I see NE +4 as a solid play.

10* over 47.5

Tom Brady should play better at home and vs. a weaker defense. Carolina scored and gave up 30+ last week. Teddy Bridgewater and Christian Mccaffrey should produce some points under former LSU OC.

I think we see 50+on Sunday. Take the over.

10* App State -4.5

Appalachian State at Marshall

3:30 pm Saturday

App State -4.5

App State has lost just twice on the road in the past two years, losing a close one at Penn State and when their QB was injured early at Georgia Southern.

Marshall won big last week but was just 3-8 last year.

ASU  31

Marshall 21

Thanks and good luck.

10* Denver +3

Denver is a tough place to play. They are 18-2 SU and 16-3-1 ats in their last 30 home openers. In the first two weeks of the season they are 33-4 SU and 22-11-4 ats since 1989. Monday Night Football non-division underdogs at home in game one are 16-4 ats .

The mile high altitude makes it tough for teams to breathe late in the game. 

Plenty of tape is available on the Titans after their nice run last year.

Take the 3 points.

10* AZ +7.5

Arizona is 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 vs. SF. The 49ers have some key injuries and no fan support. AZ is in the same division and prepared for the game plan of San Fran. Kyler Murray proved to be a solid runner and passer. Also, we have the Super Bowl loser letdown as we have seen in recent years.

AZ may not win but I think they stay within 7.

Thanks and good luck.

10* NE -6

The Patriots are -6 to -7 at most sports books. Miami won at NE late last year and the Patriots are 7-0 ATS avenging the Dolphins after a loss. Tom Brady is gone but Cam Newton looks to lead the Patriots at QB. 

Coach Bill Belichick has had plenty of time to get his team ready for the opener.

I think New England wins by 10 to 14 points.

10* CC +7

CC won 12-7 last year. Coastal has had spring practices while Kansas hasn't and there will be no fans there. 

Kansas may win but CC stays within 7 on Saturday night.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Syracuse +22.5

This line has gone up to over three TD's. Syracuse has won the last two meetings and QB Tommy Devito played backup in one and helped the Orange win.

UNC has Sam Howell back at QB (38 TD's and 7 ints.). The game is at Chapel Hill but no fans will be at Kenan Stadium for Mack Brown's Tar Heels.

There should be plenty of points and I think Syracuse stays within 17 to 21 points in this early start on Saturday.

Thanks and good luck.

10* Ark State +19

I think we see Arkansas State stay within 17 points on Saturday night. Memphis hasn't had much practice. Ark State returns their top two QB's from last year.

10* Army -3

MTSU has not been able to prepare for the Army running attack. This game will be played in front of the Army Cadets so that will give them some advantage.

MTSU has been a decent team in recent years. Army tries to bounce back from some surprising losses after a great year in 2018.

Army wins by 7 or more.

10* KC -1

The Chiefs have the better QB. He can run and pass as we have seen.

SF has played the Green Bay Packers twice recently and blown them out. QB Jimmy G. may struggle if the team falls behind.

KC wins the Super Bowl for Andy Reid.

10* Tenn +7.5

I like the Titans with RB Leonard Henry running well as well as Steve Taneyhill playing well at QB. Coach Mike Vrabel has the Titans playing well. KC is a good team but has struggled to beat Tennessee. 

Take the points as we are getting over a TD.

10* Clemson +6.5

Clemson has nice value as LSU jumped ahead early vs. Oklahoma and crushed them. QB Joe Burrow was awesome but the Clemson Tigers will relish being an underdog as they were vs. Alabama last year and won 44-16.

LSU only beat Auburn 23-20 and beat Alabama 46-41 without Tua.

Clemson has a good defense and running game with Etienne and great QB in Trevor Lawrence. The underdogs are well coached with Dabo Swinney.

LSU may win but take the points.

10* Seattle +4.5

It does worry me that Seattle traveled to Philly last week and travels again while GB is home and rested. However, Pete Carroll is a veteran coach and Russell Wilson knows how to win. Take the points getting +4.5.

10* under 51.5

Both teams have a solid defense. I think we see a game in the 40's as these two compete for the title.

10* under 44

I like the under as the Bills have a solid defense and running game. I think it ends with 35 to 42 points scored.

10* Texas +7 or +7.5

Texas only lost to LSU by 7. Their coach (Herman) has been solid as an underdog. Utah may not be as interesting playing in a smaller bowl while Texas is playing in their home state (San Antonio). Take the points as Sam Ehrling is solid at QB for the Longhorns.

10* Wash +13.5

I like the visitors to stay within 13 on Sunday even with the injury to Haskins. This is a rivalry and the Skins have a decent defense and running attack.

10* under 76.5

Lots of pressure in this game. All it takes is for one team to struggle and we see a game in the 70 to 74 range. Take the under.

10* EMU +11.5

EMU is close to home. Pitt has to travel to the upper midwest to play an average team. Pitt may win but I think EMY stays within 10.

10* La Tech +6.5

Most have this at +6. LT will have more fans playing in the state of Louisiana. Miami has struggled in bowl games. I think Tech can win outright but the points on Thursday.

10* FAU +3.5

The game is being played in Florida. I think we see FAU stay within 3 points on Saturday.

10* Army +11

The game is played at a neutral site (Philly). These rivals usually play an under (13 unders in a row) but the total is down to 40.5 which seems like the market caught up.

I expect a game with Navy winning by 7 to 10 points so take the +10.5 or +11.

10* Indy Colts +3.5

Most have this at +3. I think the Colts bounce back from a bad game from Brissett. TB has been hot lately with Jameis Winston but I expect Indy to win but take the points.

10* 

The Seahawks are 21-7-2 ATS at home in prime time in recent years. Russell Wilson seems to thrive in pressure situations while Kirk Cousins has struggled. 

I think we see Seattle win by 3 or more.

10* Pittsburgh +2.5

Cleveland is just 2-25 SU in Pittsburgh in the last 27 meetings there. The Steelers should be motivated after Helmet-gate which was just 2 weeks ago. Pittsburgh coach Tomin is a solid 8-2-1 ats as an underdog in December. This game is played Dec. 1.

I like Pitt to win but take the points.

10* South Car +27.5

This is a rivalry game. Surely, the team from the SEC and from the same state will be motivated to stay within 27 of Clemson.

10* UVA +3

VT has played well vs. Virginia and won the last 17 meetings but UVA should have won last year. The game is at Virginia on Friday. Bronco Mendenhall should have his team ready and QB Bryce Perkins has been solid running and passing.

Take the points.

10* over 47.5

The Packers under Aaron Rodgers at QB have some new weapons to run and catch the ball while SF has played well at home and put up points with QB Jimmy Garrafolo at the helm.

10* Va Tech -3

The Hokies have been playing well on offense and defense. They are off a shutout win over Ga Tech and face an average Pittsburgh win off a home OT win over UNC. 

I think we see VT win by 7.

10* Houston +4.5

Deshawn Watson is a solid QB as an underdog. I think we see the Texans stay within 4 on Sunday.

10* Richmond +24.5

This is a rivalry between teams in the state of Virginia. I think JMU wins by 17 to 21 so take the points.

10* Ala -19.5

I think Alabama is mad after losing at home and beats MIss State by 3 TD's or more. Tua is one of the top 3 QB's in college football and Nick Saban will motivate the Crimson Tide.

10* Seahawks +7

Russelll Wilson is a tough QB and can keep it close with his legs running the ball as well as passing to stay within a TD in this rivalry in which they know each other well.

10* Pitt +4.5

Most have this at +4. The Steelers are at home and face an LA team that has to travel cross country. QB Mason Rudolph has done a solid job replacing Big Ben and all we need is for Pittsburgh to stay within a field goal.

10* Alabama -5.5

Most books are at -6 but some have 5.5. Alabama has been great at home winning 31 in a row and almost all by 7 or more. They have been great vs. LSU and should be motivated with Joe Burrow being the leader for the Heisman Trophy. I think we see the Crimson Tide win by 7 or more.

10* Stanford -3

Colorado has allowed 30 or more points in all games. Stanford has had a down year but gets back QB Costello and should do enough to win by 4 or more points on Saturday. Coach David Shaw should have his team motivated.

NE -3

The Patriots defense has improved. They should be prepared for Baltimore's running game led by QB Lamar Jackson. NE QB Tom Brady should make enough plays to win by 3 or more in what should be an interesting game to watch.

10* Phil -4.5

The Bears have struggled lately while Philly has gotten healthy and just won at Buffalo. I think we see the Eagles win by 7 to 10 points.

10* Army +14.5

Army is off 4 close losses but beat Air Force the last two years. They are familiar with the Falcons and their offense. Air Force has played well this year as they are 6-2 while Army lost in OT to Michigan and was expected to do well but have had injuries and bad defense.

I think we see a motivated Army team led by QB Hopkins. Take the points which is at +14.5 as I write this.

10* Miami +15

I think we see the Dolphins stay within 2 TDs on Monday night.

10* Indy -4.5

I think we see the Colts win by 7 as they are home and playing well behind QB Jacoby Brissett and surprising all after Luck retired.

Denver has been a disappointment and they are away from Mile High Stadium.

10* Mich +1.5

MIchigan has struggled vs. Mich State and Ohio State but has been good vs. other teams. ND is off a bye but I think we see Michigan win a close game at home.

10* Washington + pts

Washington is off a 9-0 home loss in the road. Surely, former Viking plays A. Peterson and Case Keenum will be motivated and so will the Skins defense facing former QB Kirk Cousins.

The line is 16.5 or higher and I like that. I like that many points.

10* over 48

Both teams have athletic QB's and can score late. I think we see 50 or more on Sunday.

10* Navy -14

Navy has played well lately with Perry at QB running the option and making some key pass plays. The Navy defense has been solid as well. We won with Navy last week and go with them again at home vs. South Florida.

10* UNC -3

UNC was off last week. They lost a tough one point game at home to Clemson before that. QB Sam Howell has been solid and coach Mack Brown has been leading the team and motivating the Tar Heels in all phases of the game.

Va Tech has struggled lately and lost by 5 touchdowns at home to Duke.

I think we see UNC win by 6 points or more on Saturday.

10* under 49

Denver has a solid defense and weak offense. They are used to playing KC twice per year. Patrick Mahomes of KC is a great QB but has been erratic this year as some are saying an injury has slowed him down.

I like the under in this AFC West division matchup on Thursday.

10* GB -3

I like the Packers to win by 3 or more at home on Monday behind the play of QB Aaron Rodgers. Detroit has been solid so kudos to Matt Patricia and company. GB will focus as this game is a division game and they expect low 40's temps.

10* Carolina -1

I think we see Carolina win by 4 to 6 points led by Christian McCaffrey.

10* Navy -1

I think Navy is the better team. Their QB has played well recently.

Navy wins by 6.

10* Texas +11

The game is played in Dallas, Texas at the Cotton Bowl. Texas is 6-0 ats in the last 6 meetings and their coach (Hermann) has been solid as an underdog. Take the points.

10* Bears -5

This game takes place in London. I like the Bears defense to control the game and Chicago to win by 7 or more.

10* under 47.5

Games between the service academy have gone under the total in over 75% of meetings in the past 10 years. I like our chances for an under on Saturday.

10* Temple -11 

Temple scored over 40 last year. They were able to upset Md recently as well. ECU is off a nice upset win at ODU thanks to some long TD passes and a blocked punt. Ahlers only completed 8 passes and RB Pinnock was out.
