Both Arizona and BYU are returning starters from explosive offenses, but the difference maker comes on the defensive end of the field. Defensively, the Cougars return eight starters from a squad that gave up 22.8 points a game. Arizona has eight starters although Arizona Cats couldn’t stop anyone last year, giving up an ugly average of 30.5 points a night. BYU also has the superior talent level. Granted that BYUs coaching staff behind New head coach Kalani Sitake might look different, but the attention will still be on their attack and staunch defense that must be respected.

Ron Caragher's team returns 15 starters looking to make it back-to-back postseason trips. San Jose State improved from 3–9 to 6–7 last season and Im betting they will once again improve. The Spartans are in my humble opinion being disrespected with a line that should be closer to +3 in my opinion. Tulsa 's D, is just not a pretty looking unit, and fade material .( The team gave up nearly 40 points a game & 5 yards a carry last season, and dont look much improved this year )

 UCLA Quarterback Josh Rosen is the offensive key to the teams attack success this season but , the Bruins behind new cooridnator Kennedy Polamalu. will still consistently pound the ball behind the talented trio of Soso Jamabo, Nate Starks and Bolu Olorunfunmi and cause mucho headaches for all sides they encounter . I like them enough to believe that they could even win the PAc 12 championship. Texas A&M is going to be in deep shiite here today.

Its not easy beating a POWER 5 side, like Tennessee, but covering with a talented underrated side is a viable option, and a  quality bet that must not be ignored. Note: Can be played at +20 to +23.

Michigan has a veteran offensive line, elite defensive line and outstanding coaching for both groups and will easily blowout and cover here . Projected score 57-6 

These two under achieving teams, have two coaches that are on the hot seat after two dismal seasons. Paul Johnosn of GTech and Steve Addazio will be primed for a bounce back, and Im expecting a hard fought game here in Dublin Ireland that will see the underdog cover the number.

Like I said last week, Pete Carroll likes to win, despite of it being the preseason or not, but after staging a late comeback win vs the KC Chiefs in week 1 of NFLX play, an opportunity to fade him presents itself . With that said, now  Im betting on a let down scenario this week, vs a Minnesota side, that has revenge on board for a reg season and play off loss to the Seahawks that eliminated them from the play offs. It must also be noted that Vikings  HC Mike Zimmer also takes preseason ball seriously, as is evident by a 8-1 SU mark in his L/9 tilts and is 3-0 SU/ATS with revenge in play.

The Red Blacks still have not won at home this season, and have yet to find offence, defence and special teams,” in front of their own fans, The REDBLACKS scored a huge overtime win with Trevor Harris coming off the bench in Edmonton earlier in the season.

Former Alouettes cornerback Mitchell White continues to suggest he was a victim of the salary cap and intimated there’s a deep-rooted problem between some defensive players and their coordinator, Noel Thorpe.

The offensive line is also set to improve and will Im betting provide QB Willy with much needed protection. Winnipeg has done well vs Montreal in the past and won 5 of the L/6 meetings and Im betting on more of the same tonight.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have amazing stoppers and own the  CFL  most prolific defense and will once again go with a record-setting group as they did last season, even though they have lost 7 starters.  The replacement group coached by Orlando Steinhauer is even better than the last group. Not since the 1989 Edmonton Eskimos, who allowed just 302 points, have you seen such a defence that is so friggin hard  to score on. Meanwhile, Toronto will be much improved this season, but putting points up on the board against this kind of over powering opponent will be no easy feat. Yes, even if oftern ijured QB Ricky Ray is healthy. Add to that , a  Toronto D, that is less than top notch , I cannot see the Argos coming out of this one unscathed and eventually  looking for answers. I know this is the opening game at  BMO Field  , but getting points here is a value play with Hamilton who are now operating behind a  healthy QB Collaros and underrated pivot Masoli.

Cleveland looked rusty in game 1  and 2 of this NBA finals series after a long lay off, after desposing of the Toronto Raptors in 6 games. Also it takes time to acclimate yourself to playing against the talent level that the Warriors put out nightly.  They proved this synopsis in game 3 on their own home florr and now I am betting on LeBron James and company to be much more prepared to steal a game away from the Dubs and even this series at 2 games a piece .

With that said, I am betting on LeBron and company to come out breathing fire tonight, as they try to steal at least one game in Oakland. Considering how beat up the Warriors are , I feel the Cavaliers have the edge in at least in game 1 via a the blue print that the Thunder presented to all who watched their game plan progress in the previous series vs the Dubs.  With that said, take the points with the visitors.

During these play offs I felt that the Thunder got hot at just the right time, thanks to their bench coming out and playing big. Now I feel strongly they have cooled off and could get really shallacked by a championship side, that knows how to finish off opponents. For me there is only one way to go, and that is to back the Dubs to show us what being one of the greatest teams of time is all about.

Kershaw has owned his MLB opponents this month. The Dodgers' ace has thrown three shutouts in five May starts, allowing just three earned runs in 42 innings of spectacular work. He’s struck out 55 batters against just two walks in that span. Kershaw is 7-0 lifetime against the Mets and on May 12, gave up just three hits while striking out 13 in a 5-0 beatdown for the second of three shutouts in his last five outings. Meanwhile, his pitching opponent Colon in the last turn when he faced the Dodgers, he posted his worst start of the season: five runs in five innings, and is susceptible to being smashed again, even though he is pitching at home in Shea Stadium.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have not really had any pressure on them this season, but I really feel they are under as much pressure as the Golden state Warriors are here in game 6. Yes, the Dubs are facing elimination in a hostile environment, but the Thunder also know that if they can't finish off the Warriors here, that a pivotal game 7 will take place back in Oakland. With that said, after watching game 5 it became apparent to me that Curry finally looked close to 100% and that Andrew Bogut was finally fully healthy. When both these guys are in top form few teams can compete with the Warriors. It also became apparent, that the Dubs defense, were dealing better with the Warriors secondary group, behind Westbrook and Durant which is key to stopping the Thunder . With that said, I am betting the defending champion Golden State Warriors come to play tonight and get us the all important cover.

Hats off to the Toronto Raptors for standing tall in game 3 and 4 of this series, but after watching the Cavaliers finally wake up in game 5 winning a conclusive 111-72 victory its obvious which team the superior side is. That humiliating loss for the Raptors was the worst margin loss by a team in a semi play off game since 2001. Tonight with LeBron James smelling blood in the water, and a appearance in the NBA Finals, I expect we will see the best of the Cavaliers, which will not be a good omen for the Raps or their fans.

All I can say is WOW! Who could have seen this coming. First the Thunder disposed of the Spurs, and now their up 3 games to 1 against the Warriors. I have felt from the beginning that the Thunder, were not the front runners for a NBA Championship during this years play offs, and despite of my retractors, I still feel the same. I prefer to think this team got hot at the right time, and now whether Im delusional or not , I am waiting for them to cool off. Since last year the Dubs have proven over and over again they are the best team in basketball, and now they have to prove themselves again. I will give them the benefit of the doubt via a minimal investment in this spot with their backs up against the wall in a do or die situation.

The Cavaliers did not fear the Raptors when this series began, and maybe didn't respect them' either. But now after Canada's only team showed some amazing tenaciousness and gritt to even this series at 2 games a piece, Im betting that now the Cavaliers will get back to business and show their true superiority.
