Miami Heats vs Brooklyn Nets - Miami has been on fire lately and they take their 12-game winning streak into Friday's visit in Brooklyn to face the Nets. The Nets have been the opposite, currently on an 11 game losing streak. We think both of those streaks will come to an end tonight. Brooklyn is 5-1 ATS off 2 covers where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog. Miami on the other hand is only 2-7 ATS in a road game where the total is greater than or equal to 210. Look for Brooklyn to break the streak tonight. Bovada currently has the best line with Nets +6.5. Take the points.

Miami Heat at Milwaukee Bucks - The Heat have been on fire lately, winning their last 11. But we expect that fire to get put out tonight. The Heat took two of the first three meetings against the Bucks this season, but Milwaukee has won seven of their past 10 contests with Miami, including four of the past five in Milwaukee. Along with Middleton, the Bucks will add Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes to their bench tonight. Both players were acquired last week in a deal that sent Miles Plumlee to the Charlotte Hornets. The Bucks are 19-8 ATS in home games after having lost 2 of their last 3 games. While Miami is only 2-7 ATS off an road win scoring 110 or more points. Bovada has the best line with Bucks -3.

New England Patriots vs Atlanta Falcons - You've probably heard the old saying offense wins games and defense wins championships. We expect that to be true for Super Bowl 51 when the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons. The Patriots had the 8th ranked defense in the regular season. On average the only game up 88.6 yds per game which was 3rd in the league. They were 12th in the league in passing allowing an average of 237.9 yds per game. We think the extra week of rest benefited the defensive side from both teams and expect this score to stay low. New England is also 6-0 UNDER in road games after gaining 300 or more passing yards in last game. Checking the books you can find UNDER 59.5 at Bovada.

Tom Grassi NBA Sure Shot

Brooklyn Nets vs Miami Heat - The Miami Heat have won their last 7 games in a row. On Monday night Brooklyn comes to visit. The Nets have not played as well, losing their last 5 games. However we think that will change on Monday night. The Heat are only 4-12 ATS after having won 6 or 7 of their last 8 games. Combined with that fact that Miami is 3-10 ATS after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games. We see the trends favoring Brooklyn. This is a revenge game for Brooklyn who lost to the Heat last Wednesday. That scenario favors the Nets who are 9-4 ATS revenging a home loss vs opponent. Take the points at 5Dimes who has the best line with Nets +8.5.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls -  The 76ers lost at home Friday 123-118 to the Houston Rockets. Star center Joel Embiid won't play Sunday to rest a sore knee. The Bulls are coming off two tough loses, however their stars were either not in the game or in a shooting funk. On Friday Wade had 15 points, and Butler was held to a season-low three points on 1-of-13 shooting. We expect both of them to have much better games on Sunday. Chicago is 17-5 ATS in home games after allowing 100 points or more 2 straight games. When you compare that to Philadelphia who is 1-9 ATS after a combined score of 205 points or more 3 straight games we expect Chicago to cover. Betonline currently has the Bulls at -6.

The Rockets have shown this season that they can bounce back after a couple of losses. Houston is 12-2 ATS after 1 or more consecutive losses. Taking it back even further we find that the Rockets are 20-9 ATS after failing to cover 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread. With those trends in mind and a day off yesterday we expect the Rockets to come out strong tonight against a 76ers team that has been struggling to find it's groove all season long.

Memphis is 0-7 this season when there are at least two days in between games, mostly because its defense is allowing 107.8 points in those contests.

Tom Grassi Playoff Game of the Week

Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys – the Packers roll into Dallas red hot riding a seven game winning streak. Last week they looked impressive beating up the Giants 38-13. The Cowboys were off last week and actually had two weeks off resting their starters in their final game of the season. This line opened with Dallas as a 4-point favorite and despite the public jumping on the Packers the line has moved up to 4.5 or 5 points at most of the offshore books. The big difference in this game is going to be the defenses. The Packers defense isn’t very good especially on the road where they allow 28 points per game. The Cowboys defense is allowing only 19 points per game. We’re laying the points.

Houston Texans at New England Patriots – the Texans scored an easy playoff win last week over a quarterback-less Raiders squad. However, this Sunday they have to go on the road and play a team with a pretty good QB named Tom Brady. Brady and the Patriots playoff record is well documented with SU wins, however, in this contest they are laying a whopping 15-points. The Pats have been double digit playoff favorites three times since the 2007 season and although they are 3-0 SU they are only 1-2 ATS. However, the last time they were in this role they drilled Denver 45-10 in the 2011 playoffs. The public is on the Pats as they have attracted over 70% of the action. We normally don’t like going with the public and laying this many points but we have to take the Patriots. Since 2000 there have been 12 playoff games in which a team has been a favorite of 10 or more points and these favorites are a very profitable 9-3 ATS. Lay the points.

Florida State vs Michigan - The Noles and Wolverines matchup in Miami in the Capital One Orange Bowl. Florida State gets to play in their home state but we believe they're overmatched in this contest. The difference in this game is going to be the Michigan Defense. Florida State Likes to run the football but they won't be able to run against this rugged Wolverine defense who allows opponents an average of only 117 yards per game and an average of 3.1 yards per rush. The other big factor is Michigan will have a healthy Wilton Speight at quarterback. Michigan opened as 7-point favorite and it's proved to be a good number as the line hasn't moved. Florida State actually has attracted a little more money than Michigan. We're projected a double digit Michigan win.

The books opened the Thunder as 6 point home favorites and despite over 75% of the action coming in on Oklahoma City, the line has come down to 5.5. The Square bettors are all over the Thunder tonight as they are coming into this home game off three straight wins both SU and ATS. Look for that momentum at the betting window to come to a halt after the Wizards stick within 6 points for the ATS win.

Oklahoma City has been playing some very good basketball. They are off three straight wins, including that win back on Monday against New York where they easily covered the spread on the road with a 112-103 win as 1 point road favorites. Looking back to last week they crushed Detroit 106-88 as only 4.5 point home favorites and just cashed the ATS win against Denver in a very high scoring matchup where they won 132.-129 as 2.5 point road favorites. The Thunder has shot over 50% from the field in their last three games and are due for a poor offensive performance.

Don't side with the public and take the points with the Wizards!

Tom Grassi 20* NBA Sharp Money

The Spurs have been playing some very good basketball. They are sitting at a 14-3 season, and have also been profitable at the betting window going 10-6 ATS but are only 2-5 ATS in all home games where they have been over valued all season.

The Books opened up the Spurs as 14 point home favorites and despite almost 60% of the action coming in on San Antonio, the line has bumped down to 13.5 and should be down to 13 or even 12.5 by tip off. This is going to be another big let down for the public betters that are all over San Antoino.

Orlando is 2-0 ATS when playing at the AT&T Center and they will add another loss to their terrible 6-11 season record but should have no problem sticking within the 13.5 points at the betting window.

Tom Grassi’s Turkey Day Triple Play!

Pittsburgh at Indy – the Steelers get a big break having to play Colts without Andrew Luck as Tolzien gets the start. The Steeler snapped their four game losing skid with a win over the hapless Browns last week. Indy comes into this game off back to back wins over Green Bay and Tennessee. Without Luck, Pittsburgh opened as a 9-point favorite and they’ve attracted the majority of the money. However, the line is dropping with some books letting you get the Steelers laying only 7.5-points. We believe it’s a big overlay. We’re grabbing the generous points.

Play on Indy.

Washington at Dallas – great NFC East matchup with Washington going to take on the Cowboys. This game opened with the Boys a 6-point favorite and the money is almost dead even. However, the line is drifting up to 7-points as the sharp money is on the Cowboys. And so is ours.

Play on Dallas.

Tom Grassi’s Turkey Day Triple Play!

Minnesota at Detroit – the Vikings finally got their offense on track last week putting up 30 points in their win over Arizona. That win snapped their four game losing streak. The Lions are rolling winning five of their last six games including a 26-19 home win over Jacksonville last week. We’re going to pass on the side in this game and instead take a look at the total. The total opened at 42 and stayed right there. The last five times the Lions have played on Thursday they’ve gone over all five times. These two teams played a few weeks back and the Lions won 22-16. However, we see a much more wide open game today and project 45 or more points being scored.

Play it over.

Tom Grassi’s Monday Night NBA Winner!

Toronto at LA Clippers – the Raptors started this long road trip with a win over Denver 113-111 but had trouble last night in Sacramento losing to the Kings 102-199. They didn’t shoot very well hitting only 40% of their shots. The Clippers are rolling with a 12-2 record to start the season. They come off a home win over Chicago on Saturday 102-95 but failed to cover as an 8-point favorite. In fact they’ve failed to cover three straight. Tonight, the Clippers opened as a 7-point favorite and despite Toronto attracting the majority of the cash the line is up to 9-points. Not a big fan laying this many points but the value is on the Clippers.

Play on LA Clippers 

Green Bay at Washington - the Packers are in free fall entering this Sunday Night game at 4-5. They've lost three straight including last weeks 47-25 beat down at Tennessee. The Skins scored a big 26-20 home win last week over Minnesota and are 5-1-1 in their last seven games. Of course the public still likes to play on the Packers and the public has jumped on them as a dog. The game opened with Washington a 2-point favorite and despite GB attracting the majority of the money the line has jumped up to Washington -3. The Packers are a bad team and we're playing against them.

Play on Washington.

Philadelphia at Seattle - the Eagles scored a big home win last Sunday beating the upstart Falcons 24-15. That win snapped a two game losing skid. Seattle scored an impressive home road win over the Pats last week holding on for a 31-24 win. Seattle is back on their friendly home turf where they are a perfect 4-0 SU this year. Rookie QB Wentz will have his hands full dealing with the Seattle crowd and defense. Although the Eagle defense was solid last week against the Falcons this Seattle offense has regained their mojo. Seattle is a 6.5-point favorite and despite them attracting the majority of the money we're laying the points.

Play on Seattle.

Jacksonville at Detroit - Jags go to Detroit riding a four game losing streak. Last Sunday they lost at home to Houston 24-21. Jacksonville continues to get bit by the turnover bug as they turned it over twice last week and 10 times during their four game losing streak. Detroit was off last week, but prior to their bye had won four of five. This game opened with Detroit as a 7-point favorite and with the Jags struggling the Lions have attracted nearly 70% of the bets. However, the line has dipped to the Lions only a 6-point choice. We can't trust the Lions as home favorites in this range. Take the points.

Play on Jacksonville.

Arizona at Oregon State – two bad teams facing off in this contest. State opened as a touchdown choice but despite attracting the majority of the cash the line is done to only 5 points. Take the do. Play on Arizona.

Stanford at Cal – Stanford had won 3 straight while Cal has dropped 3 in a row. Line opened with Stanford being a 11.5-point favorite but the despite attracting the majority of the money the line has dropped to 10.5-points. This game will be closer than expected. Take the home dog. Play on Cal.

Texas at Kansas - the Longhorns are trying to get back to respectability but the ball hasn't bounced their way this season. They are only 5-5 SU but they should have a much better record as four of their losses have been by 7 or less points. Last week they lost another tough game 24-20 to W. VA despite putting up over 536 yards on offensive. Kansas is arguably the worst team in college football having won only one game all season, their first game against Rhode Island. On their resume is a number of blowouts against teams worse than Texas. Their run defense is very bad allowing 237 yards per game. That doesn't bode well for a Texas team that runs the ball very effectively putting up 244 yards per game. Texas is one game short of being bowl eligible and with TCU as their last game next week they'll take no chances today. Texas opened as a 22-point favorite but the line has gone up to 24-points. This move up is despite the money being relatively even. Texas rolls. Play on Texas.

Washington State at Colorado – Colorado opened as a 3.5-point favorite and most of the square money has come in on the dog. But the smart money has moved the number up to 4.-5 points. Play on Colorado.

Iowa at Illinois – Iowa scored that big upset win over Michigan last week. Illinois got drilled last week. Classic turnaround week. Play on Illinois.

Kansas State at Baylor – Kansas State getting all the action with Baylor QB out. However, Baylor scores the win. Take the home dog. Play on Baylor.

Oklahoma State at TCU – State opened as a 4-point pup but despite getting a huge amount of money on their side the line has drifted up to 4.5-points. Lay the points. Play on TCU

LSU at Arkansas – things were looking good for interim coach Orgeron after he took over for Miles having won three straight. However, they ran into the Tide last week and were shutout 10-0. Their offense was awful putting up only 125 total yards. Arkansas recorded a solid win last week whipping Florida 31-10. They put up over 450 yards of offense and held the Gators to only 12 yards rushing. But this week, they’ll find it much tougher against an angry LSU team. The Arkansas defense isn’t very good despite they’re showing last week. They’ve allowed 30 or more points in five of their games. The line opened with the Tigers favored by 6-points and it’s moved up to a touchdown. This move up is despite Arkansas attracting most of the money. We look for the LSU offense to get back on track against a weak Arkansas defense. We’re laying the points. Play on LSU.

Utah at Charlotte – the Jazz are heating up now that they have their players back. They started this five game road trip with wins at NY and Philadelphia. On Monday they beat up the Sixers 109-84 easily covering as 4-point road favorites. The Hornets are off to a fast starting winning five of their first six games. On Monday they drilled the Pacers here at home 122-100. The Hornets, despite their great start, opened in this game as only 2-point favorites. So far they’ve attracted the majority of the money but the line hasn’t budged. We like the Jazz to continue their road winning streak. Play on Utah Jazz.

Tom Grassi NFC Division Game of the Month! 

Detroit at Minnesota – after winning 3 straight the Lions lost last week in Houston 20-13. They now after to play an angry Minnesota team on the road (their 3 game winning streak were all home games). The Viking’s were riding high winning their first five games but the wheels have fallen off the last two weeks losing at Phily and Chicago (on Monday Night). Their offense has struggled the last 2 weeks scoring only 10 points per game. However, those two games were on the road, and this game is at home. The bettors have jumped off the Vikings band wagon and are on the Lions as Detroit has attracted nearly 70% of the bets. Wrong time to bail on the Vikings. Look for the Viking offense to get back on track here at home and roll the Lions.

Play on Minnesota.

LA Clippers at San Antonio - the Clippers played last night in Memphis scoring a 99-88 win, covering as a 5.5-point road favorite. The Spurs were on the road as well getting a 100-86 revenge win in Utah. The Spurs only loss came the other night at home to the Jazz. San Antonio opened as a 5.5-point favorite but despite the money heavily favoring the Spurs they line has dropped to 4-points. LA matches up well with the Spurs and we look for this to be a close game with an LA road win not a big surprise. Play on Los Angeles Clippers.

Tom Grassi Big 10 Game of the Month!

Nebraska at Ohio State – the Cornhuskers fell for the first time last week in overtime at Wisconsin. They did manage to cover as 8.5-point dogs. The difference in the game as they couldn’t stop the Wisconsin running game as they allowed 223 yards on the ground. OSU bounced back after that devastating loss to Penn State by nipping Northwestern 24-20. They didn’t come close to covering as 26-point favorites. That ATS loss was the fourth straight for the Buckeyes. Ohio State opened as a 13.5-point favorite in this game but the line has been drifting up all week. Most of the books have OSU as a 17-point favorite currently. Based on the Buckeyes dismal performances the past couple of weeks the public last lost their confidence and are all over the Cornhuskers. Believe it or not, Nebraska has attracted over 70% of the wagers. The Buckeyes are still in good shape for the National Title playoffs despite their one loss. Look for the Cornhuskers to be flat off that tough road overtime loss and for the OSU offense to put up some big numbers this week. Don’t get fooled by the big line.

Play on Ohio State.

Tom Grassi NBA Value Play!

Phoenix at New Orleans – the Suns scored their first win on Wednesday night with a 118-115 home win over Portland. New Orleans hasn’t registered a win yet this season. They lost at Memphis on Wednesday 89-83. The Pelicans are having trouble shooting the basketball as they are hitting only 41% of their shots. The Pelicans opened as a 4-point favorite and despite them attracting the majority of the money the line had dropped down to 3-points. We look for Phoenix to win this game outright.

Play on Phoenix.

Tom Grassi’s NBA Tipoff Play!

Boston at Cleveland – this has turned into a nice EC rivalry. The only problem is that the Celtics have been really no matchup for the Cavs. The Celtics come into Cleveland tonight with a 3-1 record fresh off beating Chicago last night in Boston 107-100, covering as 3-point favorites. The Cavs were all at the Indians game last night, but will be ready to stay undefeated tonight. They demolished the Rockets here on Tuesday 128-120. However, they failed to cover as lofty 9.5-point favorites. Tonight, Cleveland opened as a 7-point favorite but the line has jumped all the way up to 10-points. Normally, the Cavs attract a majority of the money but tonight the bets are almost dead even. Look for this game to stay close for a while for the Cavs to blow out the Celtics in the second half. Cavs get the money tonight.

Play on Cleveland.

Stanford at Arizona – The Cardinal suffered another loss last week at home getting beat by Colorado 10-5. For Arizona it wasn’t pretty as they lost their fourth straight at home to USC 48-14. Arizona now sinks to 2-5 on the season. Stanford has one of their worst teams in a long time but they still get the backing of the public. We went against then a few weeks back when they got drilled by Washington State at home 42-16 and we’re going against them again today. They opened as a 7-point favorite but despite attracting the majority of the money are now only a 5.5-6 point choice. Take the home dog. Play on Arizona.

Nebraska at Wisconsin – we’ll see the next two weeks if the Cornhuskers are for real as they play here at Wisconsin and next week go to Ohio State. We played against them 2 weeks back but they beat us when they scored that lucky win over Indiana 27-22 kicking a meaningless field goal with seconds to play. The Badgers have two losses to two of the best teams in the country, Michigan and OSU. They lost at Michigan by a touchdown and to OSU in overtime. Last week they righted their ship with a hard fought 17-9 win at Iowa. Despite being undefeated Nebraska opened as an 8-point favorite. That big line attracted a bunch of Nebraska money, but the line has moved up to Wisconsin now a 9-point favorite. Nebraska gets beat up by the Badgers. Play on Wisconsin.

Texas Tech at TCU – Red Raiders come into this matchup losers of three straight. Last week it was embarrassing as they gave up 66 points in their 66-59 loss to Oklahoma. Their defense is now allowing 44 points per game and 56 points on the road. For TCU their offense struggled last week as they got beat at W VA 34-10. The managed to put up only 300 yards of offense and committed 3 costly turnovers. In fact, they have turned the ball over 7 times the last two games. TCU opened in this contest as a 7-point choice but despite TT getting the majority of the money the line is up to 9.5 points at some books. TCU scores easily and often against this bad Tech defense. Play on TCU.

Baltimore at NY Jets – the Ravens scored three questionable wins in their first three games but their luck ran out the last three. Their three game losing streak started with a 28-27 home loss to the Raiders. They’ve followed that up with another home loss to Washington and then at the NY Giants 27-23. The Ravens have been tough against the run but they can’t get their running game going. The Jets offense has been awful for most of the season and they finally benched Fitzpatrick. Geno Smith might not be that great, but he can’t be any worse than Fitzpatrick and he adds a scrambling element. The Jets are riding a four game SU and ATS losing streak off back to back blowouts at Pittsburgh and Arizona. As expected everyone is going against the Jets as the Ravens have attracted a huge majority of the bets. The game opened at pick but despite all the money riding on Baltimore the Jets have moved up to a 2-point favorite. Jets win this one by a touchdown. Play on New York Jets.

Arkansas at Auburn – the Razorbacks had two tough weeks losing at home to Alabama and then winning at home over Ole Miss 34-30. They are now 5-2 on the season. For Auburn they’ve won three straight including a win two weeks ago at Mississippi State 38-14. Auburn opened as an 8-point favorite and the bettors jumped all over the points. However, the line has ballooned up to Auburn now a 10-point favorite. Arkansas come off three straight home games and those tough two games the last two weeks and we see them struggling today. Lay the points. Play on Auburn.

Utah at UCLA – the Utes are rolling at 6-1 with their only loss on the road at Cal 28-23. Last week they scored a 19-14 win at Oregon State but failed to cover as 7-point favorites. UCLA is struggling at 1-3 in the conference after losing at Washington State last week 27-21. UCLA, despite their recent struggles opened as a 6-point favorite and have been bet up to a touchdown choice. The move is despite the Utes grabbing 78% of the money. UCLA’s starting QB is a bit banged up but we expect him to play this week and play well. Lay the points. Play on UCLA.

Texas A&M at Alabama – we normally don’t like to get involved with games that have lines this high but we couldn’t pass it up. The bettors, who normally love to play on the big favorites especially teams like Bama, have abandoned the Tide this week. The Aggies have attracted 60% of the bets but despite the money favoring A&M the line has moved up to 17.5-points. The Aggies are the phoniest undefeated team in the country. Bama rolls. Play on Alabama.

Oregon at California – the Ducks are struggling losing four straight including a 70-21 drilling by Washington two weeks back. Oregon stands at 2-4 on the season and are a perfect 0-6 ATS. Cal comes in at 3-3 after losing a tough two weeks ago at Oregon State 47-44 failing as 13-point favorites. This game opened with Cal a 3-point favorite and despite grabbing the majority of the money they are only a 1-point favorite currently. We like Oregon to play a good football game tonight and snap their four game losing streak. Play on Oregon.

Atlanta at Seattle – the Falcons and Matt Ryan are flying high with a 4-1 mark and four game winning streak. Last week they went to Denver and beat the Broncos 23-16 as 3.5-point dogs. Seattle has been flying under the radar at 3-1 and they come off a bye. The Seahawks have struggled so far this season and don’t have a quality win. The Seahawks opened as a 5.5-point favorite. Seattle normally attracts the majority of the money when they take the field but the Falcons are the hot team and have garnered over 60% of the bets. However, the line is moving up with Seattle now a 6-point favorite. This is a tough spot for Atlanta having to make two tough road trips in back-to-back weeks. Seattle scores an easy win. Play on Seattle Seahawks.

Cincinnati at New England – the Bengals are going in the wrong direction after getting drilled in Dallas last Sunday. Their offense is sputtering averaging only 18 points per game. For New England is was all systems go last week as Tom Brady returned and dismantled the Browns 33-13 completing 28 of 41 passes for 403 yards. The Patriots opened as a 8-point favorites and of course they’ve attracted all of the money. Some of the books have moved up to 8.5-points. However, we believe this is a huge overlay. We’re taking the points. Play on Cincinnati.

Nevada at San Jose State – Nevada takes their 3-3 record on the road after a 27-22 home win over Fresno State. They haven’t been a good team to bet on as they are 1-5 ATS. San Jose State is riding a four game losing streak with their only win a 66-35 non-lined game over Portland State. This is one of those games that looks like an easy Nevada win. However, after opening as a 1-point home favorite San Jose State has risen to a 2.5 or 3 point choice. That movement is despite Nevada attracting 60% of the bets. Play on San Jose State.

Temple at UCF – the Owls are 3-3 on the season but have been money in the bank the last five weeks with five straight ATS wins. Last week they lost at Memphis 34-27 but got the money as 9.5-point pups. For UCF They’re also at 3-2 and come in with 2 straight road wins. UCF’s only 2 losses were against Big 10 heavyweights Michigan and Maryland. They actually had a chance to beat Maryland but they committed four costly turnovers. Central opened as a 3-point choice but despite Temple attracting the majority of the money the line has risen  to 4-points at some offshores. Lay the points. Play on UCF.

Nebraska at Indiana – big matchup in the Big 10 with the 10th ranked undefeated Cornhuskers go into Indiana. The Cornhuskers haven’t faced any tough opponents and we believe they’ll struggle today on the road, only their second road game of the season. For Indiana, they played OSU tough last week in Columbus losing 38-17 in a game much closer than the score indicated. Nebraska opened as a 7-point favorite but the line is down to a field goal. We like Indiana to win outright. Play on Indiana.

Chicago Cubs at San Francisco – the Giants kept the series alive with a dramatic 6-5 win. They try to keep their chances going behind Matt Moore while the Cubs send out John Lackey. Yesterday the game flew way over the 6 run number. Today, the books have the total at 7.5 runs. Both teams are using their fourth starter who are making their first playoff start. We like this game to go under the total. The Giants hadn’t been hitting scoring only 5 runs in their first three playoff games. The Cubs are only hitting .202 in the playoffs. The vast majority of the over/under bets in this contest are over. We’re going against the grain and look for a low scoring close game. Play it Under.

Tom Grassi’s Monday Night Value Winner!

Tampa Bay at Carolina – the Bucs were supposed to be improved this season but so far there hasn’t much improvement as they are 1-3 and riding a 3-game losing streak. Last Sunday they were beaten at home by the Broncos 27-7. The offense continued to fail to hold on to the football committing 3 more turnovers and now have 11 on the season. They couldn’t penetrate the Bronco defense as they netted only 215 yards of offense. We went against the Panthers last week and it was the correct call as they were drilled by the Falcons 48-33. This Panthers team hasn’t been right since their opening week loss to the Broncos. Cam Newton has been playing out of control and in fact not very well. We believe that Derek Anderson, with a full week to prepare, will right the Panthers ship. They will go back to running the football which they did well in their first 3 games which will take pressure off Anderson. Also, their defense will show up tonight after getting embarrassed last week. This game opened with Carolina a 4.5-point favorite and despite the money being relatively even the line has shot up to the Panthers being a 6-point favorite. Lay the points.

Play on Carolina.

NY Giants at Green Bay – the Giants laid an egg last Sunday against Minnesota losing to the Vikings 24-10. Once again the turnover bug hit the Giants as they committed 2 costly turnovers and now have 9 on the season. Their turnover ratio is one of the worst in the league at a minus 8. The Packers had their bye week and come into this game at 2-1 with their most recent game a 34-27 win here at home over the Lions. The bettors are all over the Packers as they have attracted over 60% of the bets. However, the line hasn’t budged from the opening line of Green Bay minus 7-points. We’re taking the points as we see the Giants holding on to the football and playing the Pack tough. Play on New York Giants.

Chicago at Indy – we had the Bears last week and they delivered with a 17-14 win over the Lions for their first victory of the season. Indy on the other hand went all the way to London and lost to Jacksonville 30-27. Hoyer will be making his second start of the season and in his first last week he played pretty well completing 28 of 36 passes for 294 yards. The Bears were also able to run the football netting 114 yards on the ground, their first game this season over the 100 yard rushing mark. It wasn’t such a good day last week for Luck and his passing game as he was an awful 27 of 42 for only 190 yards. We look for a complete reversal this week between these two Qb’s. The Colts opened as a 4-point favorite and they aren’t getting much love from the bettors as they have attracted only half of the money. That’s rare for Indy and Luck at home. However, the line has moved up to 5-points at most of the books. Lay the points. Play on Indianapolis Colts.

Washington State at Stanford – the Cougars go into Stanford trying to snap an eight game losing streak to the Cardinal. After losing their opening two games they’ve rebounded with two straight wins including a 51-33 win last week over Oregon. Meanwhile, Stanford got knocked off last week for the first time 44-6 at Washington. Stanford opened as a 9.5 point favorite and have attracted most of the bets offshore. However, the line has dropped down to a touchdown. We look for a close game here and we’re taking the points. Play on Washington State.
