ST. LOUIS +6.5

This is the money play! St Louis has way more talent.. I like them to pull the upset here.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

HARVARD +4

Hostile venues are nothing new for the Crimson, who may have an advantage here with their crisp movement against a Rams team that, while athletic, could be put on skates with good ball movement.

Harvard’s 3-point strength offensively runs directly into Rhode Island’s strong perimeter defense, but having a three-year starter at point in Bassey should result in good shot selection. The Crimson are 41st in effective field goal percentage and in the top 80 in both 3-point and 2-point shooting.

Russell will not go 0 for 10 from beyond the arc again, but as a young team, the Rams have to avoid unbalancing their offense. If Langevine can get Lewis in foul trouble, Rhode Island could make life significantly easier on itself, but this should be a tightly contested game.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

FRESNO ST +10.5

The bookmakers have this game wrong! Fresno St is the money team and should pull the upset here.

NFL 100 DIME GAME

PACKERS +3

This is a good bet with the Packers. The Seahawks are not the same money team like they use to be. They choked hard against the Rams. Packers for the upset.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME

Creighton +2.5

Creighton is a great value at home since they are the better team. I have Creighton by 4 points or more.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

MARQUETTE +5.5

Indiana is 7-2 all-time against Marquette, though the two midwest powers have not met since 2001. The Golden Eagles are also looking for their first-ever wins both in the Gavitt Games and Assembly Hall.

Marquette is a really good team, and I like them to pull the upset!

NBA 100 DIME GAME

The Pelicans are the money team, and I like them to pull the easy upset by 8 points or more.

This game will be close and will be decided by the last 6 seconds. I like Georgia to pull the upset on the road.

UMASS has more depth and should pull the victory by 8 points or more. This is a Syndicate move.

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME

GIANTS +3.5

At some point, the worm has to turn for the Giants. This could be the game. After what seemed to be a refreshing week away from football, Big Blue appears to be ready to take on all comers. Their luck is about to change. They have some new blood being injected into their veins (such as guard Jamon Brown, picked up off waivers from the Rams last week) along with several young players seeing expanded roles.

With all the talk about Eli Manning getting phased out, he’s not about to go quietly. Odell Beckham Jr. usually excels this time of year and Saquon Barkley is poised to take his game to the next level. It will be close, but they’ll finally pull one out.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

HAWAII +1.5

Its really tough to play in Hawaii! Hawaii has the size, and is strong from beyond the arc. It will be a close game, but i have Hawaii by 4-6 points.

CHARGERS -9.5

It is hard to see the Raiders pulling this victory off even with them at home. The Raiders' defense has struggled, and their offense hasn't performed much better.

Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon should have a field day against the Oakland defense. Also, except the Chargers to get after Derek Carr, who has been consistently sacked all season long. This game could get ugly

VIRGINIA -25.5

George Washington has struggled out of the gate with back to back losses. When you blow a 22-0 lead and lose at home, there’s not a lot of reason to have faith in a team  and that’s where we stand with the Colonials. Virginia is a tough defensive team and they know how to take care of business. We’ve seen the Cavaliers shut down teams on a regular basis in recent years as Tony Bennett’s team knows their strengths and weaknesses. Based on the way George Washington has struggled this season in the early going, you have to think that Virginia takes care of business in this one.

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME

LIONS +7

The public is heavy on the Bears. The Lions have struggled this year, but you have to look at the trend. The Lions have won 4 of 5 games against the Bears. I understand the Bears have a stingy defense, but Vegas sometimes controls the way the game is played.

SOUTHERN UTAH -2.5

Southern Utah has to much depth, and will pull the easy victory here. This is a Syndicate Move.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

TEXAS ARLINGTON +6

This one is going to be a bit of a tough one to figure out as both teams have some new faces to work in. It’s nearly a complete overhaul for UT Arlington, but they looked good in their opener and they are at home here with the crowd behind them. Northern Iowa was just a .500 team last season overall and finished tied for seventh in the Missouri Valley Conference. With Pickford’s status up in the air and Phyfe out, that’s putting pressure on the guys that are left. This one is going to be a close game but side with the hosts as the crowd pushes them to a win.

KENT ST -4

Cleveland State gave up 74.7 points per game last season and watched Davidson go for 83 on Tuesday. It allowed the Wildcats to get 21 offensive rebounds. The Vikings were far from great last season and lost two of their top three scorers. Kent State is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between the two teams and 4-0 ATS in its last four trips to Cleveland State.

COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME

WEST VIRGINIA -11

I will certainly back the Mountaineers in this matchup as they will be longing to get back on the court after stewing all offseason from their loss to eventual champion Villanova last season.  In all, they will press the Dukes all night while capitalizing in picking up easy baskets as a result.  Expect a blowout early in this matchup as the Mountaineers will perform flawless at home versus an up and coming team in the Dukes.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL 100 DIME GAME

OAKLAND +5.5

The Grizzlies brought in Karmari Newman on a transfer from George Mason, and he is expected to make an immediate impact. The sophomore guard averaged 4.7 points in limited playing time in the 2016-2017 season before sitting out last year. Newman scored 16 points in the Grizzlies 99-45 preseason home win over Kalamazoo on Tuesday night.

I like Oakland to pull the upset.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

TEXAS -6.5

The Hogs lost way too much from last year to think that they can hang in this one against a solid Texas Squad. The Razorbacks have just three scholarship players back and a mere 0.07% of their three points made. Texas has some nice pieces in place and they have the advantage of already playing a game. Look for Texas to take this one by double digits.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

TENNESSEE -16

The Volunteers should offer quite a bit more resistance for Louisiana-Lafayette than a UVI team that was in over its head from the very beginning. Pons is an athletic specimen capable of sparking the Volunteers bench, and I believe his presence on the floor will give the offense a wave-like effect. The first wave will be dealing with the explosive combination of Alexander and Bone before getting finished off with the second wave in Bons.

Louisiana-Lafayette is also a bit of a defensive liability. UVI didn’t play very well, but they were able to get up plenty of quality shots. Those shots simply weren’t falling, and they still came away with 80 points. This Tennessee offense is a whole different animal for Louisiana-Lafayette to deal with on the road. They’ll also provide a tougher problem defensively that should really test the talent on the Ragin’ Cajuns roster.

Tennessee is the higher-ranked team because they simply have the better talent than Louisiana-Lafayette, and it’ll show on game day.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

NORTHEASTERN +2.5

Harvard breezed past MIT in their season opener, as the bench got plenty of run in that game, but they will have a much tougher time against Northeastern here. The Huskies lost their opening game of the season, but they returned several key contributors from last season’s CAA Championship team and Pusica will once again be the best player on the floor in this game. He shot just 2 of 7 from deep in the game against Boston, but has shot better than 38.5 percent from three in each of his past two collegiate seasons, so I expect a bounce-back performance from him here. Expect him to follow up his 31 point game with another strong performance, while also leading the Huskies to a victory on the road in this spot on Friday night.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

KENTUCKY -17.5

Kentucky is 101-14 all-time in home openers, including 38-3 in Rupp Arena and 9-0 in its last nine. The Wildcats are also 44-12 under Calipari following a loss. Now the question is can they win this one by more than 16 points? As always, the talent is there to be a title contender–and some of that talent fared well against Duke. Two-time All-Pac 12 First-Team member and Stanford graduate transfer Reid Travis (19.5 points, 8.7 rebounds per contest in 2017-18) finished with 22 points on 6-of-8 shooting from the field to go along with seven rebounds. Keldon Johnson led the way with 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting, while the second of three freshman starters–Tyler Herro–logged a team-high 34 minutes and contributed 14 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and two blocks.

ROCKETS -4.5

In their three meetings last season the Thunder led the Rockets 2-1 wins but were 1-1 at home, winning by 5 and losing by 10. Thunder have a 3-2 home record this season, while the Rockets are 4-1 on the road. Thunder are better both offensively, scoring 111.4 ppg to Rockets’ 105.3 and defensively, allowing 108.8 ppg to Rockets’ 110.1. Thunder have a better field goal percentage (44.58% to 42.45%), while Rockets have a better 3-point percentage (33.42% to 29.57%). Thunder are better in boards grabbed (46.1 to 41.2), while both teams are almost equal both in dimes made (21.3 to 21.2) and in turnovers committed (14.1 to 14.3). Vegas odds give the Rockets a -5 spread which they will beat easily if the Thunder will be without Westbrook today.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

GEORGE WASHINGTON -6.5 

The Saints are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 non-conference games however, are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win. The Colonials are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

George Washington and Siena are both expected to struggle a bit this season however, when we look at the talent of both of these teams, it looks on the surface that George Washington has the advantage. Siena is still adjusting to a new scheme under Jamion Christian and as I expect the Colonials to bounce back in this one and win by about 10. Take the Colonials to cover with the under.

NBA 75 DIME GAME

GRIZZLIES +4

Both teams have the ability to limit opponents to just 102 points per game. The Nuggets have a slight edge in offense, but the Grizzlies are vital beyond the arc. This game will come down to the wire. Taking the home team.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

SPURS +2

Spurs won both meetings against the Heat last season (at home by 12 points and on the road by 17). Heat have a 2-2 home record this season, while the Spurs are 2-1 on the road. Both teams are almost equal offensively, scoring 113.4 and 113.3 ppg, while Heat are better defensively, allowing 111.4 ppg to Spurs’ 112.6 ppg. Spurs on the other hand have better percentages both in field goals (46.25% to 44.18%) and in 3-pointers (37.85% to 36.36%). Spurs are better both in turnovers committed (11.6 to 14.2) and in dimes made (24.9 to 22.6), while Heat are better in boards grabbed (49 to 45.3). Spurs are better this season.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

MAGIC +3

In their three meetings last season the Magic led the Pistons 2-1 wins with each team winning at home. Magic won both home games by an average of 11 points. Magic have a 2-4 home record this season, while the Pistons are 1-3 on the road. Pistons are better offensively, scoring 110.1 ppg to Magic’s league-low of 101.8, while Magic are better defensively, allowing 110.5 ppg to Pistons’ 113 ppg. Both teams have almost identical percentages both in field goals (42.7% to 42.64%) and in 3-pointers (31.03% to 30.58%). Pistons are better in boards grabbed (49.4 to 44.5), while Magic are better both in dimes made (24.6 to 19.7) and in turnovers committed (13.1 to 15.2). Pistons have been struggling lately.

Marshall is 6-2 ATS when playing on the road! Marshall is a high scoring team that can put up some major points. Eastern Kentucky has nothing to offer but a new coach that doesn't know the team. This game should be bias.

NFL MEGA MOVE 100 Dime GOY

TEXANS +3

Bill O’ Brien seems to be leaning heavily on the running game of late. Luckily, it has been working. Against Denver’s 27th ranked run defense, it is easy to see him trying to get the most out of Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue this week.

Of course, Houston’s success on offense begins and ends with Watson. He’ll get his share of the workload; more than his share if the running game falters.

Since they will likely be leaning more on the run, Houston is not going to run up the score. Case Keenum and his stable of receivers are good enough to put up some points on Houston and make sure this one stays close.

Denver is favored by 2.5 points. But in the end, look for Houston to pull the outright win here. Take the Points.

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME

STEELERS +3

Pittsburgh has won three of the past four meetings with Baltimore, with the lone loss during that stretch coming in Week 4 at home this season. The Steelers lost that game 26-14 as three-point favorites, with running back James Conner rushing for just 19 yards on nine carries.

There has not been much news on the Le'Veon Bell front following the trade deadline, so it looks like the team will continue to ride Conner for the time being. Conner's strong play since that loss has been one of the main reasons for the turnaround, with him averaging 122.3 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns.

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME

FALCONS +2

Both of these teams come into this game playing exceptionally well. The odds would be much better in Washington’s favor had it not been for the fact that Atlanta is coming off of their bye week. This has given them a next or week to prepare for the Redskins and should help the Falcons in this contest.

Alex Smith has played well for the Redskins, but they are going to need a prime time offensive performance and the Redskins may not be up to that yet. Atlanta has a red-hot quarterback that will likely be the difference in this game.

CFB 100 DIME GAME

WASHINGTON ST -10

Right now, Minshew is arguably one of the top five quarterbacks in the country, and he will put too much pressure on Garbers and Cal’s offense to keep up with the Cougars. Washington State is a plus-69 in its four home games this season, and a double-digit deficit early may be too much for the Bears to overcome.

This is a Syndicate Move!

CFB 100 DIME GAME

LT +24

Louisiana Tech is on a three-game winning streak and won four of the last five games, with a defense that’s been quietly playing well to overcome an offense that’s sputtering a bit.

The Conference USA Bulldogs are great at getting behind the line – Jaylon Ferguson is tearing up offenses with 10.5 sacks so far – but this game is about stopping the run.

Louisiana Tech can be hit hard on the ground, giving up over 200 yards four times – including 218 yards and five scores in the 38-21 loss to LSU – and now it’s up to Nick Fitzgerald to go back to being Nick Fitzgerald, if he wants to.

This is a Syndicate Play

CFB 100 DIME GAME

Duke is 5-2 ATS when playing Conference teams. The key in this game is the coaching. Duke is a great team, and matches up. I like Duke to pull the road upset, but i will take the points here. This is a Syndicate Play

FLORIDA -6

Feleipe Franks, if you and the Gator passing game ever wanted to open it up, this is the time to do it.

Missouri made Terry Wilson look like Patrick Mahomes over the last several minutes of the collapse to Kentucky.

The Tiger secondary has had a few issues, getting lit up for 200 yards or more in each of the last six games – failing to come through in the clutch against the Cats last week in the 15-14 loss.

Florida would love nothing more than to ground-and-pound this game and make it about the time of possession and long drives, but Franks should be able to have some success.

He doesn’t have to be brilliant. All he has to do is hit his third down throws, not force anything, and connect on 60% or so of his passes. His defense should take care of the rest.

This is a Syndicate Move.

Florida by 13 points or more.

CFB 100 DIME GAME

ARIZONA -3

Quite frankly, everything scares me about playing Arizona. The Buffs just lost, at home, to the worst team in the Pac-12. So I would say that any team is scary at this point. Arizona has a great athlete at QB that could have run for 1,000 yards against CU alone last year and the Wildcats just put a beating on a better team than the Buffs. As you can tell, I am psychologically scarred from last week.

NBA 75 DIME GAME

THUNDER +3.5

The Wizards are not really a high octane kind of team. They average 111 points while the Thunder average 109. The Thunder is a better team, and i like the points here.

NBA 75 DIME GAME

PACERS -7.5

In their four meetings last season the Pacers led the Bulls 3-1 wins and were 1-1 in Chicago (Bulls won by 12 points and Pacers by 18). Bulls have a 1-3 home record this season, while the Pacers are 3-2 on the road. Bulls are better offensively, scoring 109.9 ppg to Pacers’ 108.8, while Pacers are better defensively, allowing 102.6 ppg to Bulls’ 118.4 ppg. Pacers have better percentages both in field goals (50.58% to 46.29%) and in 3-pointers (41.57% to 39.34%). Bulls are better both in dimes made (23.9 to 23.4) and in boards grabbed (41.4 to 40.4) and both teams commit almost the same number of turnovers (14 to 14.4). Pacers are superior to the Bulls and lay the chalk here.

NFL 100 DIME SYNDICATE GAME

RAIDERS +3

Just because the 49ers are potent on offense doesn't mean they'll cover a field-goal spread against the Derek Carr-led Raiders. Oakland's quarterback was an efficient 21 for 28 for 244 yards and three touchdowns last week versus Indy. Expect Carr to have the crosshairs on favorite target Jared Cook. The tight end is No. 1 on the team in receiving yards with 474 and has found pay dirt three times. 

Carr also will look for Jordy Nelson, who has a 173-yard performance under his belt this season. Doug Martin and Jalen Richard form a one-two backfield punch. Martin is notching 4.3 yards per carry, while Richard is a more lethal pass-catching threat. Richard has more receptions (39) than any other Raider. 

NBA 75 DIME GAME

KINGS +5

The Kings have been solid on the offensive end of the floor in the early going this season. Sacramento is 6th in the league in scoring with 117 points per game and 15th in rebounding with 45.2 boards per contest. The Kings are 16th with 23.7 assists a night. Sacramento has been below average defensively, ranking 28th by allowing 120.3 points per game. De’Aaron Fox leads the Kings with 17.7 points plus seven assists per contest. Buddy Hield chips in 17.2 points per game, Willie Cauley-Stein adds 16.5 points plus eight rebounds a night, Marvin Bagley III is good for 13.7 points plus 7.2 boards a game and Nemanja Bjelica contributes 13.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest. Iman Shumpert, Justin Jackson, Frank Mason III, Yogi Ferrell, Harry Giles and Ben McLemore are all key players for coach Dave Joerger. The team hopes to get Bogdan Bogdanovic back in early November after knee surgery. Sacramento is 3rd in the league in field goal percentage as they shoot 50 percent from the floor. The Kings stand tied for 24th in the league with 10 three pointers per game and currently are 4th in three-point shooting at 39.5 percent from beyond the arc.

The Magic on the other hand is not as good as the Kings. The Kings have the advantage outside the paint. I have Kings by 4 points. The under is good here too.

NBA 75 DIME GAME

SPURS -7.5

Dallas is in the middle of a 3 game losing streak, after their loss to the Utah Jazz, 113 - 104; Gobert: 23 pts, 16 reb, 3 blk, 2 stl. The Mavericks have a 2-4 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 0-3 in away games this season. Dennis Smith Jr. dropped a team-high 27 points in their last game. He shot a 63.2% field goal percentage, making 12-of-19 (no free throw attempts, 3/4 from three-point range). Smith Jr. finished with 27 points, 3 assists, 1 rebound, 2 blocks and 3 threes with 3 turnovers in 33 minutes.

The Spurs have to much firepower and should win by 12 points or more.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

WARRIORS -11

Chicago won their last game against the Atlanta Hawks, 97 - 85; LaVine: 27 points, 11 rebounds. The Bulls enter this contest with a 2-4 record in their last 10 games and a 1-1 mark at home. Zach LaVine dropped a team-high 27 points in their last game. He shot a 47.4% field goal percentage, making 9-of-19 (8/10 from the line, 1/5 from three-point range). LaVine finished with 27 points, 3 assists, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 three with 9 turnovers in 34 minutes.

The Bulls rank well in three point percentage (#5), field goal percentage (#11) and free throw percentage (#15). The team needs work on offensive rebounds per game (#30), points per game (#23) and turnovers per game (#22).

Golden State is on a 4 game win streak, after they beat the Brooklyn Nets, 120 - 114; Curry, Durant combine for 69 points. The Warriors have a 6-1 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 3-1 in away games this season. Stephen Curry dropped a team-high 35 points in their last game. He shot a 42.3% field goal percentage, making 11-of-26 (6/7 from the line, 7/15 from three-point range). Curry finished with 35 points, 3 assists, 7 rebounds, 1 steal and 7 threes with 2 turnovers in 36 minutes.

The Warriors rank highly on assists per game (#1), field goal percentage (#1) and free throw percentage (#3). The team needs work on turnovers per game (#25), offensive rebounds per game (#22) and defensive rebounds per game (#12).

The key in this game is the point spread. The Warriors can play in cruise control, and put up points from fouls. Chicago will attempt more 3 point shots to stay in range. The Warriors by 17 points or more.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

HAWKS +11

The Hawks are tied for 19th in the league in scoring offense with 110.6 points per game this season. Atlanta is 14th in the league in rebounding (46.2 rpg) and 8th with 25.2 assists per contest. The Hawks are 17th in the NBA in scoring defense as they allow 113.8 points per game. Taurean Prince is leading the team with 20.6 points per game in the early going. Rookie Trae Young is second on the team with 19.8 points plus 6.8 assists while Kent Bazemore is putting up 16 points a night.

This game will be within range. Take the points here.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

BLAZERS +4.5

Portland Trail lost their last game to the Miami Heat, 120 - 111; Dragic: 28 points / Lillard: 42 points. The Blazers have a 3-2 record during their last 10-game stretch and are 1-1 in away games this season. Damian Lillard led the Blazers with 42 points in their last game against the heat. He went 15-of-28 from the field, for a 53.6% field goal percentage; 7/7 from the line, 5/11 from three-point range. In 36 minutes, Lillard's stat line came out to 42 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds and 5 threes with 1 turnover.

The key in this game is the drive. The Blazers should win this game outright, since they have the firepower. I like the over here as well.

NFL 100 DIME SILVER GOY

BRONCOS +10.5

Week 7 was filled with blowout results and Denver was on the right side of one of those last Sunday. The Broncos shot down the Arizona Cardinals 45-10 thanks in large part to two interceptions returned for touchdowns.

It was a bounce-back performance from head coach Vance Joseph’s normally stout defence. It was only a few weeks ago the New York Jets totaled 503 total yards of offence against Denver.

Emmanuel Sanders is unquestionably the top offensive playmaker for the Broncos. The wide receiver leads his team with 46 catches, 603 receiving yards and three TD grabs. Sanders even got into the passing game last weekend against the Cards. He threw a 28-yard TD strike in the first quarter to put the Broncos up 14-0.

The Bookmakers are giving to many points to the Chiefs since they surrender 26 points per game. This game will be decided within 4 points.

NFL 100 DIME WISEGUY GOY

BROWNS +9.5

I am taking the points with the Browns in this one. The Browns have been very competitive in all but one of their losses. Two of their defeats occurred in overtime, and they lost by only three points in New Orleans in week two, plus they tied the Steelers 21-21 in week one. The Browns are tied for first in the NFL with 11 interceptions on the season, and they picked off Ben Roethlisberger three times in week one. Also, the Steelers have received minimal production from their running game in Bell’s absence. They are only averaging 88 rushing yards per game, ranking them 26th in the NFL, and Bell has yet to report to the Steelers.

Furthermore, Cleveland features a productive running game that ranks fifth in the NFL with an average of 135 rushing yards per game, and they were able to accumulate 177 rushing yards and two rushing TD’s against the Steelers in week one. The Browns should do enough on both sides of the ball to keep this one close.

NFL 100 DIME EXECUTIVE GOY

JAGUARS +3.5

The Jaguars defense rebounded with a solid effort against the Texans after struggling in losses to KC and Dallas in week 5 and 6. Their pass defense still ranks #1, while their rush defense is scuffling. Despite their struggles, the Jaguars are only one game out of first place in the AFC South, and they are currently averaging 16.6 points, ranking them down at 29th in the NFL. They are holding opponents to 20.9 points, pegging them ninth in the NFL.

I like the Jaguars to pull out of the slump and pull the victory here.

CFB 100 DIME GAME

NAVY +24

The Midshipmen need to get right, and unfortunately they're in the midst of a four-game stretch where the opponents combined record is 26-2. Malcolm Perry got banged up in the 49-36 shootout loss at Houston, and the Irish have had an extra week to prepare for Navy's offense. It's tough to imagine Navy having much success -- though if you are looking for a trend that could favor the out-of-nowhere upset, eight of Navy's 13 wins in the series have come at neutral sites -- but there is going to be plenty to build on for the rest of the AAC schedule after going up against one of the best teams in the country. A strong performance from Navy's defense would be very encouraging, particularly considering the high-flying UCF Knights are coming right around the corner. 

This game will be decided by 2 touchdowns.

CFB 100 DIME GAME

KENTUCKY +7.5

Saying the coaching staff has concerns regarding Terry Wilson would be an understatement. Though he’s 7-1 as a starter, Wilson’s play from the pocket has been far from the leading cause of Kentucky’s success. Though their defense should be able to keep the game from becoming a shootout, the Wildcats’ will need to move the ball downfield in order to win at Mizzou.

Benny Snell has had yet another phenomenal season for the Wildcats and their defense has lived beyond expectations. However, without stability under center, it’s difficult for teams to win on the road in the SEC.

While Wilson made a few exceptional throws at Florida, he also played one of his worst games as a starter at Texas A&M.

The Wildcats are the better team, but this game will be much closer than what it should be. A change at QB seems inevitable, though Wilson could also come out & torch what is the 96th-ranked defense in the country.

Final Score: Kentucky 24, Missouri 20

BULLS +10

The Chicago Bulls will try to secure their first win of the season when the Charlotte Hornets arrive in the Windy City on Wednesday. It won’t come easy against a Hornet team reeling after getting thumped on the road by the Toronto Raptors. The Bulls lost on the road on Monday night, 109-115, to the Dallas Mavericks. The Bulls only allow 109 points per game, while the Hornets allow 106 points per game. The points and over is good here.

Dolphins +7.5

Ryan Tannehill apparently won’t get another shot at the Texans as he is expected to miss a third straight game. In Week 6 vs. Chicago, Tannehill was oddly scratched with a mystery shoulder injury the morning of the game despite practicing most of the week. It was so strange that the NFL opened an investigation. Brock Osweiler played out of his mind in that upset of the Bears. He was still pretty good Sunday, but the Dolphins lost 32-21 at home to Detroit.

Miami was gashed for 248 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Detroit had 457 yards total and six scoring drives of at least 63 yards. Osweiler’s top receiver, Albert Wilson, left with a hip injury and is going to be gone a while. He has 26 catches for 391 yards and four scores on the season. Miami is 1-7 ATS in its past eight on the road.

Texans win 20-17. Take the points here.

KNICKS +8

New York Knicks have a 1-3 record so far this season and currently sit in the third to last place of the East. They have three consecutive losses and in their last game they lost on the road against the Bucks with a 113-124 score. They are led in scoring by Tim Hardaway Jr with 27 ppg, adding 3.2 boards and 2.8 dimes. He is followed by Enes Kanter with 19 ppg and a team high 12.2 boards per game, while Trey Burke adds 13.2 ppg and a team high 5.2 dimes per game.

In their four meetings last season, each team won twice at home with the Heat winning by an average of 12.5 points. Heat have a 0-1 home record this season, while the Knicks are 0-2 on the road. Knicks are better offensively, scoring 111.3 ppg to Heat’s 108.7, while the Heat are better defensively, allowing 109.7 ppg to Knicks’ 110.3. Knicks have better percentages both in field goals (43.19% to 41.34%) and in 3-pointers (34.4% to 31.37%). They are also better in turnovers committed (11.8 to 17.3), while the Heat are better both in boards grabbed (52 to 48) and in dimes made (20.7 to 20). Knicks have been one of the weakest squads in the East but they are a different team with superstars. The Knicks will put up more points! The Knicks can pull the upset here.

NUGGETS -11.5

I am taking the Nuggets in this one. The Nuggets are off to a terrific 3-0 start and they should come away with a convincing win. Denver features a ton of scoring depth, and their rebounding and defense has been outstanding. They are limiting opponents to 41% shooting in three games, and they rank third in the NBA with an average of 52 rebounds per game. While Sacramento is enjoying a hot start offensively, they won’t keep up their current pace. They were the lowest scoring team in the NBA last season, and they will have a tough time against a Denver team playing stellar defense, plus the Kings defense has been awful through three games.

PELICANS -6.5

LA is going to have a tough time keeping New Orleans’ offensive attack in check. The Pelicans are blistering the nets in the early going of the season as Mirotic has meshed well with Davis. New Orleans has found some quality role players to work with in their rotation. The Clippers could be without Bradley in this one, which could impact their defensive scheme. In the end, LA doesn’t have the weapons to contend with the Pelicans’ depth and skill players. Davis and Mirotic lead the way for a New Orleans victory.

FALCONS -4

The current over/under of 54.5 points is a challenging mark to decide on, and Bryant being sidelined for this game only adds to the back and forth on which side to take on that pick.

Thus, taking the Falcons and laying the six points is the better option at the moment. Even if Atlanta holds out Ridley and Sanu, Ryan still has enough in Jones and Hooper to consistently move the ball down the field, and New York’s defense does not make enough big plays to help its offense in the form of turnovers to create short fields.

Stopping Barkley will be a huge challenge for the Falcons, and whether he causes them to deviate from their Cover-3 will be something to watch. If the Falcons can do something big early on either side of the ball, that can turn into a feeding frenzy that triggers an easy victory given how fragile the Giants appear to be at the moment.

The Pacers should pull the easy outright win here. The Timberwolves haven’t played well against the spread in recent games. They have lost their last five games and four of their last five games against teams with winning records. The Pacers have done better against the spread, winning their last four games against Western Conference opponents and five of their last six road games, giving them the advantage in this game

PACERS +3.5

This matchup features two very evenly matched teams and I expect a close, hard fought divisional battle, so I am siding with Indiana. The Pacers are coming off a dominating 28 point win against Memphis, and their scoring depth should make an impact. The Bucks’ three point defense ranked near the bottom of the NBA last season as opponents shot 37.3% from beyond the arc against them, and the Pacers ranked eighth in the NBA with a solid 37% efficiency from three-point range last year. Furthermore, the Bucks rebounding was an issue last season as they ranked last in the NBA with an average of only 39.9 rebounds per game.

RAPTORS -2.5

The two acquisitions from the San Antonio Spurs in the offseason, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, were great in their Raptor regular-season debuts. Leonard’s 24 and 12 were already mentioned above, but Green hit 3 of 7 three-pointers, added five rebounds, and was a plus-15 in his 33 minutes of playing time. Toronto will take that every game. The Raptors hit 14 of 33 threes against Cleveland, powered by Kyle Lowry hitting 5 of 6. The Raptors’ bench scored 35 points, picking up from last season when it was also one of the best supporting casts in the NBA. Toronto’s defense was prone to fouling – it allowed Cleveland to shoot 39 free throws – but it limited the Cavs to just seven made threes and 40 percent field goal shooting. The NBA head coaching debut of new Toronto boss Nick Nurse went relatively smoothly.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

KNICKS +4

New York plans to play at a faster pace this season and it showed in the opener as they played at a faster tempo than any team that has logged a game so far this season. The Knicks were just 17th in that category a year ago and the new strategy might be effective given that they have to make up for Porzingis’s absence. The Nets hung tough despite their poor three point shooting but it’s tough to like a team that is overreliant on perimeter shooting despite a pronounced inability to have success. That’s Brooklyn in a nutshell. In one of the season’s early improbabilities, the Knicks take advantage of the Nets and start the year 2-0.

Ryan Willis is coming through.

He might not have pulled off the win over Notre Dame last week, but that was hardly his fault. Okay, so he wasn’t amazing, but he threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns and a pick to at least move the offense a little bit. That was coming off a 332-yard, three touchdown day in the win over Duke.

North Carolina’s pass defense has actually been okay – the issues are on the other side.

Over the four games, the offense has only scored more than 19 points once, it’s a disaster on third downs, and there’s no consistent downfield passing game.

Outside of a few runs by Notre Dame’s Dexter Williams, the Virginia Tech run defense is excellent. If the Tar Heels don’t get things moving on the ground, the offense isn’t going anywhere. However …

OREGON +3.5

I am taking the points with Oregon in this one. The Washington offense has yet to find a rhythm, and they are only averaging 22.7 points in their three road games on the season. Oregon features an outstanding rush defense that is limiting opponents to only 112 rushing yards per game, so they should be able to neutralize Myles Gaskin and a Huskies running game that has not played to their full potential yet this season.

In addition, the Ducks’ offense has consistently put up points in all five games led by Justin Herbert who has collected 15 touchdown passes on the season. The Huskies’ rush defense has been average, ranking 41st in the country, and the Oregon running game is averaging a sizzling 216 rushing yards per game led by CJ Verdell.

I think this is a huge statement game for USF. It is national attention, and for Black Friday hype against UCF, a win in dominant fashion is a must. I think USF will come out firing against Tulsa. Barnett will be the star of the game, proving he was worthy of the five-star rating. If Tulsa can get the run game going and can take time off the clock, I think it could be a low-scoring affair like last year. With that said, give me the Bulls by double digits.

Backup QB Blaine Gabbert has a chance to take down Jacksonville, the team that took him with the 10th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, for the second time in two years.

Gabbert started under centre for the Arizona Cardinals when the AFC West club topped the Jaguars 27-24 last season. The journeyman signal caller has craved a place for himself in the league as a serviceable backup and a decent option for spot starts. He’s 3-3 with seven TD passes and six interceptions in his last six career starts with the Titans and Cardinals.

Wisconsin leads the Big Ten with time of possession, keeping the ball for over 35 minutes per game.

And now the Badgers have had two weeks off to rest up that dinged up O line.

Nebraska is dead last in the Big Ten in time of  possession, keeping it for under 28 minutes a game mostly because Martinez and company can’t convert on third down chances.

You know what the Badgers are going to do, and the Nebraska defensive front can’t stop it. The Huskers have allowed four rushing touchdowns in each of the last two games, and now they’re going to get steamrolled over by the rested Wisconsin offensive front.

SYRACUSE -3

As Clemson found out, this Syracuse defense isn’t all that bad. It’s as strong as it’s been in years, and now, the Orange have the right mix under Dino Babers to be good enough to not just hang with a team like Clemson, but actually come really, really close to beating it on the road.

It all starts with the defensive front and a great pass rush that’s been able to crank up ten sacks over the last two weeks and generate consistent pressure against the good offensive lines, much less the weaker ones.

The Pitt offensive front isn’t all that bad, but it’s not doing anything for a woeful running game that’s not able to find anything that consistently works.

And that’s the big problem for the Panthers – the lines aren’t playing well enough. That goes hand-in-hand with being second-to-last in the ACC in both offense and defense.

The Orange D is getting the job done, and the O is working, too, scoring 30 points or more in every game but the loss to Clemson – no shame in only putting up 23 points in Death Valley.

TEXAS +7.5

The game has been decided by fewer than seven points over the last four meetings, and it’s about to happen again – with a similar playbook.

Texas will seem like it always has the ball, and it’ll be in control of the game, but it’ll get hit with just enough Oklahoma home runs to keep it close.

Texas will play really, really well, but it won’t be able to put the game away.

When pressed, Murray will overcome a frustrating first three quarters with two fourth quarter touchdown drives to take the game back. The Texas drives that ended with field goals instead of touchdowns will be haunting.

Honestly, my preseason predictions had Texas Tech starting 7-0 before a massive collapse to finish sixth. Obviously, I had Tech winning this game. West Virginia’s defense has looked good in its first three games, but they still gave up way too many points to Youngstown State. Quite frankly the turnover situation is going to be a major difference. Tech’s defense prides itself on turnovers. In a game featuring two gunslinging, air raid offenses, turnovers are everything. Each missed opportunity becomes points the other direction. Give me the better defense.

Biggest challenge yet for the Rams will be this week. It’s been a long time since the Rams have started off 3-0, and it will by no means be an easy feat this week. Chargers QB Phillip Rivers is a surefire first class hall of fame player, and still playing like he’s in his prime. He’s a bad boy, and one of my favorite QB’s of my lifetime. He’s surrounded by talent in RB Melvin Gordon, WR’s Keenan Allen and Travis Benjamin, change-of-pace back Austin Eckler, and a solid offensive line. Aside from that they have one of five best front sevens in the NFL. However, their secondary (which is really good) is banged up. This could be a game where Todd Gurley sees about 7-9 targets out of the backfield. If so he might go off in the second half. Rams defense has their hands full but the Rams offense has some holes to exploit due to injuries on the Chargers defense. Could be looking at a shootout, which is the wrong time to lose Greg Zuerlein. This is more evenly matched than people are giving it credit for being. I’m going Rams because when it’s even homer-ism kicks in.

Prediction: Rams win, 30-27

This was always going to be one of the tough hurdles for Wisconsin to clear this season if the Badgers were going to make a playoff push. After losing last week, Wisconsin cannot afford to lose again now that conference play is opening, but winning on the road in Kinnick Stadium is not easy for anybody. Iowa has the tools in place to go head to head with Wisconsin but will need quarterback Nate Stanley to shrug off a disaster of a game against Wisconsin last season. Odds are, Stanley is not going to complete just 8-of-24 pass attempts for 41 yards this time around. He doesn’t have to throw five touchdowns as he did against Ohio State last year, but Stanley should be able to lead enough effective drives at home to give Iowa a chance to jump on top of the Big Ten West standings and secure a win against Wisconsin.

This one is a real sticky wicket. As stated above, if you simply look at the results of the first weekend, you would have to make the Bulldogs a heavy favorite. But you never know when a Bill Snyder team is just playing possum after the week one struggle. Was this a case of their getting caught looking ahead to this game? If you’re a Wildcat fan, you hope so. One thing is for sure, any kind of repeat of last week’s 13-penalty, four-turnover effort and KSU will get taken to the woodshed quickly.

It will be a wild environment in the Little Apple but don’t look for the Bulldogs to crumble. This is an uber-experienced team that returned 93 percent of its offense from a year ago and also 77 percent of its tackles on defense. Though he may have to knock off some rust early on, Nick Fitzgerald’s return will be a shot of confidence for Mississippi State. But one thing to keep in mind, Kansas State QB Skylar Thompson was the field general for three come-from-behind victories last year and pulled the trick again vs. South Dakota last week.
