10* over 48

AZ has rookie QB Kyler Murray. He has shown he can make plays in the 4th quarter and the team plays fast. Seattle QB Russell Wilson can run and pass and make plays for the Seahawks. I think we see 50+ on Sunday.

10* ODU -3

Hopefully you can find -2.5 as the game gets closer.

ECU is 2-2 but has home wins vs. William and Mary and NC A&T. They lost badly at NC State and Navy and have been outscored 263-89 in their last 6 road games. Their new coach (Houston) may need this season to adjust.

ODU picked up ECU's defensive coordinator and that should help them adjust. ECU QB Holton Ahlers should improve but has been inconsistent and injury prone.

ODU should have a nice crowd and the team should bounce back after jumping ahead 17-0 at Virginia and then losing 28-17.

10* NYG +7

I like Daniel Jones to play smart. He has a solid running game with Saquan Barkeley. I think we see TB win by 4 points.

10* ODU +31

I think UVA may be looking ahead to a showdown with Notre Dame coming up after playing ODU. Virginia just played a tough game vs. Florida State. ODU has been off and will be motivated to face an ACC school. They only lost to Va Tech by 14.

Take the points.

10* over 46.5

I think we see 48 to 51 points today in the Dallas/Washington game set for 1pm.

10* Syracuse +26

The Orange are off a poor game at Maryland. They head back home to play Clemson, a team they have played well against in recent years. Syracuse does have a new QB who made some nice plays in the Terp loss. Clemson has played two home games and now heads to the road to play an ACC conference game. Look for the Orange to stay within 20.

10* Navy -7

ECU is off a home win vs. Gardner Webb but goes on the road to face the NAVY in conference action. Navy is off next week so they can focus on an improved Pirate team that still needs more time under new coach Mike Houston. ECU will win next week at home vs. William and Mary but I think they struggle and lose by 10 or more.

10* Washington +10 

I like the Redskins getting double digits in the opener in this NFC battle. The Eagles should win by 3 to 7 points. Take Washington +10.

10* Tennessee +6

Cleveland is no longer an underdog and will face lots of pressure. Tennessee should be able to run the ball and make some key plays to stay within 6 points.

10* Texas A&M

A&M only lost by 2 last year and they return Kellen Mond at QB. Jimbo Fisher used to face Clemson when he coached FSU and A&M played at Alabama last year. The Aggies play in a tough conference. Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence struggled some last week with 2 ints.

Take the points!

10* Rice +19

Rice lost to WF on the road last year. Rice is off a close loss at home to Army. I think we see WF win but the Rice Owls cover. Take the points.

10* NSU +27

These two schools are located about 3 miles apart so NSU will be motivated. ODU has been under .500 the past two years and will have a new QB playing as well as new wide receivers. The game will be played at ODU's renovated stadium.

I think we see Norfolk State stay within 20.

Thanks and good luck.

10* ECU +17.5

ECU fired Scotty Montgomery and brought in Mike Houston, who was at JMU. QB Holton Ahlers is back for his sophomore season after struggling with some injuries. ECU played NCSU is their last game of 2018 and lost badly so they will be motivated vs. an in-state team from the ACC.

NCSU lost their QB and other key players. I think we see ECU stay within 14 on Saturday.

Take the points.

10* New England -1 (-119)

I like the experience of Tom Brady and coach Belichick. Sony Michel can run the ball. Edelman and Gronk can catch it and the Patriot defense bends but doesn't break.

10* NE +3

I like the underdogs on Sunday led by QB Tom Brady and head coach Bill Belichick. KC played well last week but the Patriots have experience in the playoffs and should be motivated being an underdog. NE has seen the offensive attack of the Chiefs when they played earlier this year.

10* under 57

I like the under as the Rams can run the ball well and use clock while NO has played some solid defense lately. I expect 48 to 54 points so take the under on Sunday.

10* Phil +9.5 (-125)

The Eagles should be able to stay within the number on Sunday. New Orleans are tough at home and have future Hall Of Famer Drew Brees at QB but the Eagles have pride and confidence after winning at Chicago.

10* NE -3.5

I like the Patriots at home to win by 4 or more. Brady has been off a week and the Chargers have to travel back east again. The NE coach should have plenty of tricks up his sleeve for Philip Rivers.

10* Indy +5.5

The Colts are a hot team. They have a QB with experience while KC has Pat Mahomes, who may be the MVP. I think we see Indy stay within 5 points as the Chiefs defense is below average.

10* Clemson +6

Clemson and Alabama should have a close game. It may depend on Trevor Lawrence making nice passes to open up the running game for Etienne. Clemson lost 24-6 last year to the Crimson Tide as their former QB (Kelly Bryant) struggled to make passes and Bama could focus on the run.

Oklahoma fell behind 28-0 and never really threatened afterwards even though they covered the +14.

I think Clemson can win with their defense but take the points which we see is +6.

10* Phil +6

The Eagles have been a hot team. Their defense is solid and so is their QB play. Chicago is at home and should win but take the points!

10* Chargers +3

The Chargers have been solid on the road and should be motivated after losing to the Ravens recently. QB Phillip Rivers has been solid and RB Melvin Gordon should be healthy. Take the points vs. a Baltimore team that has a QB with no playoff experience.

10* Texas +13.5

Texas has been tough as an underdog lately with Tom Hermann as coach. We saw them play well vs. Oklahoma twice. Look for Texas to stay within 2 touchdowns.

10* CFU +7.5

I like Central Florida to play well vs. an SEC team. They were able to beat Auburn last year. The motivation of being a big underdog should inspire them.

10* NW +7

I like the underdog in this bowl game that takes place tonight.

10* under 72.5

This is one of the highest totals. All it takes is for one team to struggle or some turnovers and we see 65 to 70 points.

10* Buffalo -4.5

The Bills are now -4.5 to -5 as they expect cold weather in Buffalo on Sunday. Miami won earlier at home vs. the Bills 21-17. Buffalo is off a loss to NE but they are 23-3 ats vs. below .500 teams after playing New England. The Bills are #2 in defensive yards allowed. I think we wee the home team, who is 5-1 ats in their Last Home Game, win by 10.

Miami 14

Buffalo 24

10* UVA +6

I like the underdog in this game. I expect Virginia's qb to make some nice plays running and passing the ball. UVA lost last year in bowl action so I expect Bronco Mendenhall's squad to step up this year.

10* Pitt +7

The Steelers need a win and I think they keep it close with Big Ben on offense and an improving defense.

10* Army -5

The service academies always do well in bowls. They are prepared for it. I like Army by 7 or more.

10* Green Bay +6

This line was Chicago +3 before the start of the season but moved to Bears -6 now. Aaron Rodgers has played well vs. the Bears in the past especially at Chicago. Take the points.

10* Dallas -3.5

I like this better at -3. I think we see Dallas continue to play well with Dak making some solid throws and E Elliott running for close to 100 yards.

Dallas wins by 10.

10* under 48.5

NE has been a nice under team lately. I think we see about 45 points on Sunday.

10* Pittsburgh -3

I like the Steelers to bounce back after a bad loss at Denver and now facing a Charger team that has beaten some weak teams. The Steelers should get the ground game going with James Connor and Big Ben should play well. Pitt wins by 7.

10* ECU +24

ECU will be motivated playing an ACC team as they are 8-1 ATS in the past 9 games vs. the conference and beat UNC as double digit dogs earlier in September. NCSU is off an OT win at home vs. UNC and will play in a bowl game.

Take the points in this added game set for early Saturday.

10* Carolina -3

Seattle must travel cross country for this 1pm start/ I think Cam New and McCaffrey do enough to win by 7.

10* UNC +7

I think UNC plays well to end the season at home vs. NCSU, which is located just 30 minutes away.

Coach Fedora is fighting for his job. UNC may end up winning but take the points.

10* OSU +5

Take the home underdog.

10* Redskins +7.5

This is a rivalry game on a holiday. You know someone will step up for the underdog and stay within 7.

10* over 60

The ESPN Game Day crew will be there and CFU will want to put on a show. Last year's meeting with Cincy had over 70 points. Games with SMU, FAU, UConn and Temple all had over 60 points. Take the over on Saturday.

10* Phil Eagles -7

I think the Eagles play well off a bye and win by 10 to 14 in prime time against the Cowboys.

10* Seattle +10

I think we see a letdown after LA Rams lost and are no longer undefeated. Seattle lost by 2 at home earlier to the Rams. Russell Wilson should play well.

10* UNC +10.5

These two are located 8 miles apart. Duke is having a solid year so UNC should be motivated to stay close to their rival. I like getting 10.5 points.

10* Pittsburgh +3

I like the Steelers on Sunday as they have played better recently. Big Ben is solid on the road. RB James Connor has been good at running and receiving. Look for a close game so take the points.

10* Ohio -2

I like Ohio to win by 3 or more on Thursday night.

10* Washington -1

The Redskins should win a close one on Sunday.

Wash 21

NYG 17

10* Houston -7

USF has played some close games. Houston is a solid team playing at home. They can run and pass and have big receivers. I think we see the Cougars win by double digits.

Take Houston -7

10* UNC +9.5

The Tar Heels just lost in OT  at Syracuse and should have beaten Va Tech the previous week. Nathan Elliott is a decent QB and UNC won 35-14 at UVA two years ago and only lost by 6 last year.

10* Navy +12.5

Houston travels again this week. They played at ECU and won big vs. a passing team and now travel east again to face a running team that has been solid at home over the years. I think we see Navy say within 10 and hope they don't look ahead to Notre Dame up next.

10* UVA +8

I think we see Virginia stay within 7 at Duke. The Cavaliers have beaten Duke the last few years.

10* NE -3

I think the Patriots find a way to slow down second year QB Patrick Homes and get revenge for their bad loss last year.

10* Seattle -2.5

I think Russell Wilson will make enough plays for the Seahawks to win.

Seattle wins by 7 in London.

10* ECU +16.5

I think ECU bounces back at home after a poor effort at Temple last week. They have won at home vs. ODU and UNC and should stay within 14.

10* Washington +6

I think Alex Smith can pass well enough and the Redskins running game can stay within 6 on Monday night.

10* Seattle +7.5

The LA Rams are tough but Seattle is a solid home underdog especially when getting a TD or better. The the points on Sunday.

10* FSU +13

Take the points in this rivalry game. We are getting +13 in this state rivalry in the ACC.

10* Texas +8.5

I like Texas on the neutral field. Tom Hermann has the Longhorns playing well. I think we see a close game. Take the points.

10* Pitt -3

I think the Steelers win by 7 at home vs. their division rival on Sunday night.

Pittsburgh 27-20.

10* NE -6.5

There are -6.5 to -7.5 out there so look around. Miami is 3-0 while NE is 1-2 and needs to stay close in the division and not go down 3 games.

Tom Brady should make enough plays with Gronk and Josh Gordon to score plenty of points on Sunday.

Miami has played well at home in the heat and humidity of Miami but not fared well on the road. NE wins by 10 or more.

Thanks and good luck...

10* Va Tech +5.5

I think VT bounces back from a loss at ODU after allowing 49 points. Duke is using a backup QB after Daniel Jones was injured. The backup has played well but VT should have a fair amount of fans at the game. 

Take the points!

10* ODU +7

ODU is off a nice win at home vs. Va Tech and should have confidence. They put up 49 points with QB Larussa replacing Steve Williams. Jeremy Cox should be able to run for some yards and the Monarchs have tall experienced receivers.

Take ODU getting about a TD on Saturday.

10* over 53.5

I like the over. Both TB and Pittsburgh can score and the Steeler's defense has struggled as we saw vs. the Chiefs.

10* Seattle pk

I think Russell Wilson leads the way fo a home win and is motivated from the Sports Illustrated article on the Seahawks and how they were the dynasty that never was.

10* UVA -4

The UVA QB has shown he can pass and run under coach Mendenhall. Louisville is trying to get used to being without Lamar Jackson. I think we see Virginia win by 7.

10* Seattle +4.5

10* under the total

Big road favorites of -7 of more have produced 5 overs, 29 unders, 1 push in the last 35. 1 over/14 unders in non-division games.

10* Pittsburgh -4.5

KC won last week but has to travel again on the road and play a team they are 0-3 (SU and ATS). I expect Pitt to bounce back after a 21-21 tie in which they led 21-7 but had 6 turnovers. The Steelers win by 7 to 10 to cover.

10* Purdue +6.5

Missouri is playing their first road game. Purdue has been erratic but I expect them to step up on Saturday and keep it close. Take the points!

10* under 57

The last 8 meetings have gone under. The early start may slow down things as well. Hopefully, we see a 30-24 game that stays under.

10* GB -6.5

Take the Packers at home with Aaron Rodgers at QB.

10* Cleveland +

The Browns played the Steelers close last year. Pittsburgh lost at Chicago and only beat three road teams (Cincy, Cleveland and Indy) by 3 points. I think we see a 3 point game.

10* ODU (pick'em)

ODU lost badly at Liberty last week. They were able to win at FIU 36-30 last year and get to play their home opener on Saturday. Soph QB Steve Williams should play better and the running game (maybe Jeremy Cox) should add yards and the ground. Coach Bobby Wilder should have the Monarchs ready.

10* Vandy -2.5

Vanderbilt plays in the SEC and has beaten MTSU badly the last two times they have met. Vandy wins by 7.

10* Army +14

I think we see Army stay within 14 on Friday night.

10* under 73

I think we see a game with 65 to 70 points. It is being played at UConn and they are familiar with the style of CFU.

10* Eagles +5

I think we see a close game. New England won in OT last year. I think we see a close game on Super Bowl Sunday so take the points and let's hope the Eagle defense and Nick Foles can make some plays.

10* under 69.5

This total was at 79.5 a few weeks ago and moved upward some. The venue changed from Hawaii to Orlando last year and we saw a low score as the teams got $61,000 for winning and $30,000 for losing. They took pride in defense and we saw a lower score unlike the 90 to 100 points several years ago.

10* Eagles +3.5

I am taking the home underdog getting for than a field goal. The team is 3-1 SU with Nick Foles at QB anf the Eagles have a solid defense. Minnesota should have some kind of a letdown after their remarkable win over the Saints. I think this game is won by a field goal so take the +3.5.

10* Eagles +3

Philly is home off a first round bye while Atlanta played out in LA last week and must travel north to play outdoors. The Eagles beat them 24-15 last year. The Eagles have a solid defense and I think they can win outright but take the points.

10* Alabama -3.5

Alabama is healthy and didn't have to play such a tough game as Georgia did, having to withstand 81 offensive plays vs. Oklahoma and 2 OT's.

Nick Saban should have an advantage vs. his assistant and the Bama team has experience from playing for the title in recent years. QB Jalen Hurts played against Clemson for the title last year while Jake Fromm is a freshman.

Alabama wins and covers on Monday.

10* Atlanta +6.5

LA was just 4-4 at home. Atlanta has playoff experience after losing badly in the Super Bowl. Matt Ryan has Julio Jones and Freeman to make plays. I think we see a close game so take the points!

10* CF +11

Most books have this at +10. Central Florida has played well this year. Auburn is a tough SEC team that should be able to win but I think CFU stays within 10 points on Monday.

10* Tennessee

Jax just wrapped up a playoff spot while Tennessee is aiming for a wild card and they are at home. This line had been moving upward from -2 earlier. Take Tennessee.

10* Atlanta -4

I think we see Matt Ryan play well and the Falcons to win by 7 to 10 points.

10* Arizona State +7.5

I think the venue helps Arizona State. They should have more fans there. They were 7-5 and coach Todd Graham will ne in his last game and I think the team will play hard for him. NCSU was a decent team this year but I think they may win by less than 7.

10* Southern Miss +16.5

FSU has struggled to cover games that they won this year. Coach Jimbo Fisher left for Texas A&M and their star defender will sit out. The Noles had some key injuries and can't be excited to play in a small bowl vs. Southern Miss. Take the points.

10* over 52.5

It is a high total for division teams but both are solid on offense with future Hall Of Fame QB's. The over has won 6-2-1 in the last 9 in New Orleans.

10* USF -3

USF was 9-2 and led by QB Quentin Flowers. They did lose to Central Florida but should be excited to play the Big 12's Texas Tech in a bowl. The Red Raiders were just 6-6 on the year. I think we see South Fla win by 7 or more.

10* UAB +8

Ohio is favored by 8 and is well coached by Frank Solich, who was at Nebraska earlier. However, UAB is the school that dropped football and brought it back and should be well motivated for this bowl game enough to stay within 8 points. Take the underdog!

10* FIU +7.5

 Taking the underdog on Thursday.

10* LA Tech 

I like La Tech in their bowl game as these teams are fairly even. LT has three games decided by one point. Skip Holtz is the La Tech coach, he is the son of Lou Holtz.

10* Seattle -1 (-120)

Seattle is tough at home even without many of their key defensive players. They are playing a division game vs. the Rams and I still have to go with coach Pete Carroll and QB Russell Wilson, who seems to do enough to win at home with his legs and arm.

Kudos to the Rams and Jared Goff as well as Tarboro, North Carolina's Todd Hurley at running back. I think it is close but Seattle wins and covers.

10* under 46

Trends for the under:

Chargers: 
under 5-0 in week 15 
under 7-1 last 8 games 
under 7-1 last 8 on Saturday 
under 7-1 last 8 vs. AFC 
under 19-7-1 last 27 in December

KC 
under 4-1 last 5 
under 6-2 last 8 on Saturday 
under 42-19 last 61 at home 
under 2-14 last 16 home in Dec/Jan 
under 5-2 last 7 meetings

10* Washington +6

The Chargers have played well lately but I think 6 points is too much to cover. Washington won at the LA Rams early in the year and Kirk Cousins is a solid QB to help the Skins stay within 5.

Army vs. Navy

Saturday 3pm

#103/104

10* under 51

These two have played 10 unders in a row. They run the ball on most plays so the clock stays moving. They are familiar with each others plays. The last 5 meetings have seen 38, 38, 17, 41 and 30 points. Navy has 4 overs/7 unders this year. Both Army and Navy have 13 unders in their last 16 games played in the month of December. Take the under.

10* Seattle +6

The Seahawks are rarely an underdog at home but they have one of the best crowds and solid defense even without Sherman and Kam Chancellor. Russell Wilson seems to make things happen and Philly has to travel cross country to play in Seattle.

This line is all over the place from +3.5 and more.

10* under 48.5

Buffalo just played a 10-0 game. New England and Buffalo know each other real well and the Patriot defense has been solid for the past month. Brady can put points on the board but I think we see 41 to 45 scored on Sunday.

10* Wisconsin +6

Ohio State bet them 59-0 a few years ago so there is some motivation for the Badgers on a neutral field. Wisky has a solid run game and defense to slow down Ohio State whether JB Barrett plays or not. Take the underdog.

10* under 83

These two had a total set at 69 in their earlier game, which ended 40-13 (53). They did combine for 14 overs and 7 unders this year and saw some high scoring games. However, this game should have some pressure for the conference title and the early 12 noon start may slow things down.

Take the under, which is at 83.

10* Alabama -4

I think Alabama finds a way to win by a touchdown or more. They have a solid defense and QB Jalen Hurts can run and pass. Alabama wins by 7 to 10 points.
