Utah Jazz +3

This line screams trap and money has definitely been coming in on the dog here. Utah plays a great brand of basketball at home and Houston has to travel from LA coming in off a back to back. Going to take a shot at the parlay since underdog and over are typically the correct correlation.

30*

Indiana Pacers -6.5

Yes this isn't the Pacers team that we are accustomed to, but their talent still heavily outweighs the 76ers. Philadelphia quite honestly has NOBODY. Michael Carter-Williams is out, Joel Embiid is out, they traded Spencer Hawes and Thaddeus Young, and Nerlens Noel is making his NBA debut. This is going to be a recipe for disaster and I don't know if this 76ers team can be competitive any time soon. Look for Indiana to do enough to get it done in front of their home crowd. 

40* TNT GAME OF THE WEEK

Dallas Mavericks +5

Huge revenge spot here for the Mavericks. They took the eventual champions, the Spurs, to the wire last year and they match up well against these boys. This Mavs team has made a few improvements and they could make some serious noise this year in the West. The additions of Jameer Nelson, Chandler Parsons, and the return of Tyson Chandler are HUGE for Dallas and this team now has talent from top to bottom of this line up. Another thing going for us is the line of 5. Typically a line of 5 means to look towards the underdog. Want to get this game out now because I see this line to continue to drop.

40* ROAD WARRIOR

Houston Texans -1

The Tennessee Titans are a mess. They just lost to the Washington Redskins for crying out loud. To make things even worse for the Titans, they haven't covered a home game in forever. They are 1-10 ATS their last 11 home games. Houston is 3-4 on the season but they are better than their record shows. They have been very competitive in their games, they just make a mistake that will cost them. What I think is different is that they have been playing tough opposition. By all means, Tennessee is not even close to that. Ryan Fitzpatrick also played for the Titans so I look for him to have a big game as well. Houston does enough here to walk away with the victory.

It's no secret, LSU is UNSTOPPABLE at night in their bulding. They are 49-4 their last 53 games. The fans go nuts and its a different kind of atmosphere unlike anywhere else. The Tigers have also knocked off a TOP-10 ranked team each of the last 4 years. LSU is one of the best teams in the country in takeaways and they are one of the best on capitalizing on those turnovers. Bo Wallace is known as a turnover, mistake prone QB but he has surprisingly done better in that department this year. I believe his luck runs out here and he makes a few mistakes in this one. LSU is ALWAYS the favorite in this series and they still have done well in that mind state. Now LSU is playing as the home underdog. Les Miles gets this team ready for a huge upset, plays the "us against the world" card, and I believe LSU has a great chance at the outright.

San Jose Sharks -1.5

We have cashed two straight puck line plays going against this awful Sabres team with the Ducks and the Kings. I see no reason not to do it again tonight. The Sabres only average a measly goal a game and San Jose is an offensive powerhouse. Buffalo is outclassed in so many ways and the empty net is always wide open with these guys but I believe San Jose just crushes Buffalo tonight.

50* MAC GAME OF THE YEAR

Central Michigan -5.5

To put it nicely, Buffalo stinks. They haven't beaten anybody and they only beat up on FCS opponents. It seems this team has completely given up on the season. They can't stop the run and their most recent loss was at the hands of a very bad Eastern Michigan team. On the other hand, Central Michigan just lost to Ball State in a game they dominated and they just gave the game away. Look for a huge effort from this team off a bad loss. They are a veteran squad and they have a lot of older players that know how to bounce back. Let's not forget that this is a good CMU team. They recently destroyed MAC powerhouse, Northern Illinois, 34-17. This contest is a total mismatch and CMU should have no problem taking out this miserable Buffalo team.

40* BLOWOUT GOW

Boise State -6.5

Big revenge spot here for the Broncos has they got dominated last year by these BYU boys. BYU has suffered horribly since the loss of their QB and I expect Boise to totally dominate this game. BYU has now lost 3 straight and Boise State is a terrific home team with a big advantage with their blue field. The Cougars now have a negative differential in yards per point and yards per pass and they can't get into any kind rhythm. Boise gets their revenge with a blowout win at home. 

40*

Los Angeles Kings -1.5

For those of you who parlayed Anaheim ML last night + LA Kings ML tonight, Make this play for 20*.

Laying the goal worked last night for us and we'll do it again tonight. Buffalo is just a bad team and they are outclassed in so many ways to this Kings team. Jonathan Quick has the ability to shut anyone out and even if the Kings start to struggle to score and take a 1-0 lead, the empty net goal is wide open. The Sabres gave up an empty netter last night and I believe history repeats itself here.

40*

Anaheim Ducks -1.5

you can also parlay the Ducks on the ML + LA Kings ML tomorrow.

This should just be a total butt whooping. Buffalo is outclassed in so many ways and Anaheim can score goals at will. I refuse to overthink this one. Even if this is a close game towards the end, Anaheim should have a great chance to get an empty netter to seal the deal.

30*

Pittsburgh Steelers -3

The public likes the underdog in the contest and typically when the public is on the dog, you go with the favorite. It happened last night as the public loved the 49ers and Denver destroyed them. Look for Pittsburgh to get the W in front of their home fans tonight.

40* NFL THE BIG UNDERDOG

New York Giants +7

The Dallas Cowboys come off a HUGE upset win over Seattle IN Seattle, which is just incredible. The New York Giants, however, looked terrible on primetime against the Eagles. Public perception is going to have everyone running to the window to bet Dallas. Not so fast my friend. This is a big time let down spot for the Cowboys and historically, they are known for their big let downs. Also, the Cowboys are typically an auto-fade as a big favorite and you want to take them as dogs. Dallas is a whopping 7 point favorite. Not to mention this is a divisional rival, which these games are typically very tight and close games regardless. The Giants should be extra focused in this one and should definitely stay inside the number in this contest.

BONUS TEASER 6.5 points: Seattle (-0.5) & Green Bay (-0.5) 

50* AFC GAME OF THE YEAR

Kansas City Chiefs +4.5

Andy Reid is the KING of the bye week. He is 13-2 straight-up his last 15 games. He knows how to use the extra time to prepare and keep his players ready. The public loves San Diego right now but they really haven't beaten anyone. Their only solid win was Seattle, but that was at home. They beat Buffalo, Jacksonville, NYJ, and barely beat Oakland. None of those are good teams. The Chargers are beat up as well and to make it even worse, they have to travel to Denver for a huge showdown on Thursday Night Football against the mighty Broncos. KC plays with double revenge from last year and both games were decided by a field goal. Their most recent game was the last game of the season, where KC sat all their players and still should have won that game. This Chiefs team is a very solid team on the road against the number as they have covered 9 of their last 12. Don't be surprised if Kansas City wins this game outright and scrambles up the power rankings yet again.

Tennessee +16.5

Ole Miss just gone done beating Alabama and Texas A&M. This team just has to suffer a bit of a let down here. I'm sure these kids want to give themselves a big pat on the back right now and they may take this game lightly. Tennessee is still looking for their first win in SEC play and I'm sure they have this game circled as this is a huge rivalry game and 3 possessions seems like a lot for this contest.

40* ACC GAME OF THE WEEK

Georgia Tech -1

We cashed with UNC last week as they faced Notre Dame coming into the game in a horrible scheduling spot. We look to fade them now as the public will likely jump all over them, seeing they took the mighty Fighting Irish to the wire, thinking they are a better team then they actually are. Georgia Tech owns UNC. They know how to beat them and definitely have played the tougher schedule and battled with some tough opponents. The Yellow Jackets come off a tough home loss so look for them to be extra focused and having them as a favorite in the contest on the road is a huge indicator that this is the right side as well.

50* UNDERDOG GOM

Kansas State +8

This Kansas State team is very well coached and I feel that they are underrated. They just missed upsetting Auburn and Jake Waters and Tyler Lockett are an unbelievable tandem that no body is talking about. K State is a solid road club, covering 11 of 16 road games and they are 6-1 against the number the last 7 times they have taking on the Sooners in Oklahoma. This line opened at 8.5 and has dropped to 7 at most places. This could take a dive to +6.5 which would be a VERY strong indicator of a live dog. I do expect it to possibly get there and like this team to have a great chance at the outright upset.

This line SCREAMS trap. The Browns favored against the mighty Steelers? Seems odd doesn't it? Turns out, it's not. Cleveland will be rocking for this game as they will look to get revenge from their comeback attempt that came oh so close Week 1. Pittsburgh doesn't seem to have it together right now and this isn't the Steelers defense that we all know. They can't tackle and their secondary is struggling big time. Bryan Hoyer is finding his confidence and evidence from last week, this team can rally and they do not give up. Cleveland get its done against their hated rival.

50* SHOCKER GOM

Texas A&M -3

I do feel that Ole Miss is going to suffer a huge let down here. Mississippi was going nuts after that victory. They probably are still high from that game. But reality is that its a WHOLE different story winning on the road in the SEC, than it is at home. Texas A&M is the home of the 12th man. The Aggies suffered the upset at the hands of Mississippi State last week and A&M should come out focused for an opportunity to get back in the thick of things for the playoff. All it takes for Ole Miss to look terrible is for Bo Wallace to turn into Bo Wallace. He has to have a perfect game in order for his team to be successful. If he becomes careless with the football, goodnight rebels.

They second contest, they typically play flat.

40* Big Underdog

North Carolina +17

HUGE sandwich spot here for the Fighting Irish. They come off a crazy come back victory against Stanford and on deck they have non other than the number 1 ranked team in the country, The Florida State Seminoles in primetime. I find it hard to believe that Notre Dame is paying attention to the Tar Heels. They will be going through the motions and UNC should have no problem staying inside 3 possessions in this contest.

20*

Cincinnati +14.5

Miami has no business laying this many points. Cincinnati should have an inspired effort after getting kicked around by Memphis last week. Teams that lay this many points need to have a stellar offense and that's one thing the Miami surely doesn't have. The Hurricanes are 3-11 ATS their last 14 games. Look for the Bearcats to stay inside this number.

These two teams know each other well and Indy is not the same team on the road as they are at home. Houston should dominate with their running game and they have a bit of revenge on their mind from the crazy Andrew Luck comeback from last year on primetime. Texans have a good chance of winning this game outright.

40* UNDERDOG of the week (TOP PLAY)

Houston Texans +7

This is little brother vs. big brother so to speak, and big brother (Dallas) is coming off a huge primetime victory against the Saints. History shows that the Cowboys do not fare well in this spot. Dallas, time after time, has serious let downs after big victories, especially when they were the underdog. The Cowboys are known as a money making dog team, but when they are a favorite, especially at this price, they fall flat on their face. Everyone is going to jump on the Dallas bandwagon this week and I think they're going to have a bit of a reality check. Let's not forget that Dallas has the Super Bowl Champion, Seattle Seahawks, on deck and they will be looking ahead in this contest. We have Dallas in a big time sandwich spot and adding the fact that they are not a good team laying points, Houston is definitely a LIVE dog here and we'll gladly take the points. 

TEASER: Pittsburgh +0.5 & Seattle -0.5. 

Getting both these teams just to win seems like a no doubter. Pittsburgh should bounce back after the miserable performance against Tampa Bay and let's face it, Jacksonville is horrendous. Also, Seattle should just crush the Redskins and their defense should eat Cousins and company alive.

Alabama -6

Ole Miss to upset Alabama seems to be the "cool" upset pick this week. As Lee Corso says, "Not so fast, my friend." Alabama is the real deal. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this team is the class of the college football world. People seem to forget about this team since they're ranked number 3, but they are a very well coached bunch. Bad news for Mississippi is that the Crimson Tide come into this game with a week off and Nick Saban is virtually unbeatable after a bye week. Bo Wallace turns the ball over way too much and this Alabama defense is going to make him look very bad. Nick Saban is going to bait this kid into throwing plenty of balls into double coverage and a bunch of interceptions. We cashed with Alabama -14.5 when they played Florida and they DESTROYED them. The 21 point differential should've been more like 40 if it wasn't for all the turnovers. They tried giving the game to the Gators. My point is that this team is very good. Even if they cough up the ball, they are still capable of blowing you out. I expect a close game in the first half as the fans will be riled up, but eventually Alabama will be too much for the Rebels and the Crimson Tide will take this one by double digits.

40* PAC-12 GOW

Stanford -2.5

When laying points on the road, you want to make sure you are backing a team with a solid defense and it just so happens that The Cardinal has an AMAZING defense. Having a team ranked lower in the polls being favored over a team that's in the Top 10 definitely raises some eyebrows. I expect people to line up in bunches to bet the very public, Notre Dame team, especially since they are getting points at home. Notre Dame hasn't really played any one yet this year and this is their first real test. I expect them to get exposed in this one. The only thing that worries me about this Stanford squad is that they can struggle in the red zone. If they capitalize with their chances inside the 20, they win this game going away.

50* NFC GOM

New Orleans Saints -3

I really like this New Orleans Saints team. I know the story on this team is that they can't win, or aren't the same team on the road, but this game is in a dome in Dallas. Saints typically struggle outdoors and in the elements but excel indoors. I feel Dallas is in for a serious let-down. They recently just had the best comeback in franchise history last week against the Rams and now have won 2 straight games as underdogs. Back to reality now for Dallas. The Cowboys can't cover tight ends. Who's the one team that KILLS YOU with their tight ends? The New Orleans Saints. Jimmy Graham is an absolute beast. It's amazing how good this guy is especially since he's as tall as a building and he's going up against 5'11'' corners and slow linebackers. Nobody can stop him unless he gets doubled. If he gets doubled, then Drew Brees picks them apart down the field or dumps off to the running backs. I think New Orleans is just going to crush the Cowboys in primetime and we'll hear all about it from Jerry Jones on Monday.

20*

Minnesota Vikings +3

We'll play this one small because Minnesota scares me but this line SCREAMS upset. EVERYBODY and I mean everybody is taking the Atlanta Falcons. 90% of tickets are on the dirty birds yet the line hasn't budged. It actually dropped to +2.5 at one point in the week. Serious sharp money is on the live home dog here and we'll take our chances with Bridgewater and company.

50* MAX BET

New York Jets +2

The Lions have a history of big time let downs and they aren't the same team outdoors. We have a mix of public perception here as Detroit knocked off Green Bay and New York completely dominated Chicago but lost because of their miserable red zone offense on prime time for the world to see. I believe The Jets are going to ground and pound all day against The Lions and knock Matthew Stafford off his mark and I believe he's going to struggle in this game. Jets win outright.

30*

Green Bay Packers -1.5

Chicago has a weak secondary to begin with and now they lost a ton of players after the MNF win. Aaron Rodgers should eat them alive. They can't go down 1-3 or it's time to panic. I still don't like Jay Cutler and his cavalier attitude and with Brandon Marshall not being 100%, it could smell trouble for The Bears.

Miami Dolphins -3.5

Ryan Tannehill's job is no longer secure and he should wake up and have a big game against this horrible Oakland squad. Oakland continues to be one of the worst teams in the NFL year after year and this young team isn't going to be able to focus across the pond in London.

South Carolina -5

Yes, I am aware of the fact of the huge revenge spot for Missouri but it's a very TALL order to try and knock off South Carolina at home. The Gamecocks have a tremendous home field advantage and I expect a high scoring affair. The big concern for Missouri is their offensive line. It has completely shifted. The Tigers lost their TOP LG to an ACL tear and now the entire line has to change positions. Matty Mauk better watch out, he could be running for his life and chucking up INTs. Another concern for Missouri is their secondary. The ol' ball coach, Steve Spurrier, will come up with a game plan to eat that soft coverage alive. The numbers for the South Carolina defense are a bit frightening but this team has played a MUCH tougher schedule than Missouri. The Tigers have played South Dakota State, Toledo, UCF, and Indiana. The Gamecocks have faced Texas A&M, Georgia, a really good ECU team, and Vanderbilt. Vandy isn't a good football team, by all means, but they did scare South Carolina last week so I expect them to come out extremely focused in this one. I'll finish with this. Missouri's confidence took a HUGE hit last week losing at home to the Hoosiers. If this team gets down early, it could be a long day.

Remember 50* means 5% of your bankroll. Not half or all of it. Best of Luck!

We have cashed with Georgia Southern every week this year and now I believe the oddsmakers have caught up to this team and it is time to fade them. These two teams are long time rivals and they know each other extremely well. App State has dominated this series going back 10 years. They have won 8 of those meetings and the 2 that Georgia Southern won, were wins in single digits. Laying close to 3 TDs is a joke in my opinion. Typically any rivalry game with a line that high is ridiculous. This App state team plays very fast and it should give problems to this Georgia Southern team that has had to do a ton of traveling this year. Am I calling for the outright upset? No. Do I think this is going to be a close contest throughout? Absolutely.  

Subscribers: We may have a play in TNF but it won't be until later if we pull the trigger. Waiting on some info.

Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5

LAD ML was going to be the 70* but this line is just way too high to release for clients. The Dodgers should still cruise to 2+ run victory but we'll play for 50* given the low total.

Clayton Kershaw is as close as it gets to sure thing in the MLB. He is UNTOUCHABLE! Man, I love watching this guy throw. Bad news for the Giants, because Kershaw owns them. Even more bad news is that Tim Hudson has been awful lately and hasn't faired well vs. the Dodgers either. What makes this such a key play is that with a victory tonight, the Dodgers win the division. Los Angeles is going to be foaming out the mouth for a chance to celebrate the division title in front of their home fans against their hated arch rival. It doesn't get much better than that for a Dodger. I was hoping for a lower number on this game but -240 is just way too much juice to lay. I truly believe that if the Dodgers can get 3-4 runs tonight they cover with ease because I don't see any scenario where Kershaw gives up more than 2 runs.

If you don't feel comfortable playing the RL, consider parlaying the Dodgers tonight with the Tigers tomorrow (Max Scherzer on the mound)  2 team parlay: -240 & -289 =-110  

50* MNF GOM

New York Jets -2.5

Everyone and their mother is going to line up and take the Bears here. This is a great spot to jump on the Jets. First, let me start of by saying this. Jay Cutler may be my LEAST favorite QB in the league. I can't stand his cavalier attitude. He always looks like he doesn't care. Secondly, he is right behind none other than Tony Romo, as the most mistake prone signal caller in the NFL. The Jets have a terrific defensive line and that's what gives Jay Cutler fits. I believe that Geno Smith has improved his game a bit this year and they have a great rushing attack. Good news for New York because Chicago just can not stop the run. To top this all off, we have Chicago coming into this game in a letdown spot from coming back from 17 down to beat the 49ers and we have New York coming into this game focused because they blew a 21-3 lead to Green Bay. Vegas isn't stupid and they have the New York Jets favored for a reason here guys. Jets take care of business in front of their home fans in primetime.

Pittsburgh Steelers +3

The Steelers played last Thursday and got creamed by Baltimore. Most people are going to look at this game and say this Steelers team his terrible and go with Cam Newton and the Panthers. Vegas is telling us something, in my opinion, with this line at -3. Also, 70% of the bets are coming in on Carolina, yet the line hasn't budged. I believe the Steelers will be well prepared for this one and will have a very good chance to win a defensive struggle tonight in primetime. Lean UNDER as well. Best of Luck!

Buffalo Bills -2

San Diego just pulled a huge upset of the Seattle Seahawks. Right there is a letdown spot. What makes this even worse for San Diego is that they have to travel across the country to play at 10:00 am PST, where they have struggled historically on the east coast.

The Buffalo Bills are playing some serious football right now. They also have a solid HFA (home field advantage) now. Part of it is because the threat of them moving and the fans have really gotten behind them. Reminds me a bit of Sacramento in the NBA. NOBODY thought this was going to happen and I can't believe I'm saying this, but Bills go to 3-0 on the season.

Even though New Orleans is 0-2, I still think the Saints are one of the best teams in the league. The Saints are a COMPLETELY different animal inside the Superdome. They absolutely embarrass teams there. This is the Saints home opener and this place will be rockin'. Without a doubt, New Orleans and Seattle have the 2 biggest HFAs (home field advantage) in the league. This team is an incredible 14-1 SU & ATS @ home following a loss with Sean Payton. Minnesota looked lost without AP and Matt Cassel is a joke. This could get UGLY real quick with Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham having a field day. The Saints need to send a message and I believe they win this one going away. Saints BIG!

Going to hate myself if I don't release this play. At the beginning of the week we were going to make this a TOP PLAY at +11.5 and sure enough, a second goes by and it dropped to 8! The Mountaineers are a solid football team this year and always play the Sooners tough. They match up well with this team and getting more than a TD in Morgantown is a nice bet.

40* Big Underdog

North Carolina +2.5

Buy the hook. North Carolina +3

The ECU Pirates are playing some great football. They took South Carolina to the brink and they took down Virginia Tech. ECU did benefit greatly from the schedule and if you look closer, South Carolina just got done facing Texas A&M and was looking ahead to Georgia on deck. VT just pulled a huge upset over Ohio State and was in a prime letdown spot.

North Carolina comes into this game with 2 weeks to prepare for this one. You best believe that UNC had this game circled at the beginning of the season with the complete ass kicking they took last year at the hands of the Pirates. This is Big Bro vs. Little Bro and Big Bro wants some serious revenge.

This line is an over reaction to ECU beating VT and scaring the Gamecocks. UNC should win this game OUTRIGHT especially given that they have more talent and speed. The only thing the concerns me in this game is that usually when a lesser known team is favored against a "big boy" from a power conference, you take the favorite all day. Given the recent history of these two teams and the scheduling factor, I just can't pass up UNC.

30* Pac-12 GOW

Utah +5.5

The Utes have 2 weeks to prepare for this game. Add in the fact that Michigan is ALWAYS over-rated and we have tremendous line value. Get this one quick as the line is dropping steadily but I do think Utah has a great chance to pull the upset.

50* MAX BET

Alabama -14.5

Was waiting to see if we could get the 14 but I can't wait any longer and I want to get this out to you guys ASAP. Buy the hook if you feel more comfortable doing so.

Watch out Florida, Alabama could simply take you behind the wood shed in this one. People got a little worried about this squad after the scare they received from WVU, but it turns out The Mountaineers are legit. Let's not forget, Alabama is the class of the college football world. All their starters are potential draft picks and their defense is as good as it gets. Florida is going to have a tough time doing anything. This game reminds me a lot of our last MAX BET with Missouri. It was a close match-up in the first half and then eventually Missouri wore down UCF and won the battle in the trenches and cruised in the 2nd half to an easy victory and cover. Expect more of the same as the Tide roll in the final stages of the game and cover the spread.

50* GOM

BYU -14

The Cougars lost their opener last year to Virginia 19-16. They are catching Virginia at a GREAT time. UVA comes into this game off a huge upset win over Louisville. Good news for BYU is that they played last Thursday, so they have the extra time to prepare. This line is -14 for a reason folks. This team is that much better and part of it is because UVA trots out 18-22 year olds and every year BYU trots out 27-30 year olds. Yes, that is a bit of an exaggeration but it makes me laugh. I mean the whole team isn't like that, but face it, these dudes for BYU are grown men playing against boys. BYU believes they can make it all the way to the playoff and they need to take down a team from a power conference, convincingly, to do that. Expect Taysom Hill and company to go up and down the field on the "Wahoos" and cover the number for us.

30*

Colorado -7

There are 2 main reasons for this selection and they are pretty obvious:

1: Time zones. Hawaii hasn't been a good road team considering they are 6 hours back from EST. This game will be played at 2:00 pm EST. That's 8 am Hawaii time. These kids are going to fall asleep on the field.

2: Colorado is at home and is the better team.

20*

Virginia Tech -8

We faded VT last week and cashed with ECU getting the outright, but we are jumping on VT this weekend and here's why. VT came off a huge upset win and was prime for a let down. I expect them to have a big bounce back performance. One of the main reason is because the Hokies know how to stop Georgia Tech's running game. VT has always been stout on defense and they have shut them down year after year. With Virginia Tech's offense being a bit better from prior years, look for them to win by double digits. 

30*

Connecticut +3

The Huskies, without a doubt, have played a tougher schedule. They are 1-2 on the season but lost to a very good BYU team and a solid Boise State squad. On the other hand, South Florida could easily be winless, barely beating Western Carolina in their opener. USF got CRUSHED by a bad NC State team. This is a solid public fade with 65% of the bets on the home team, yet the line is dropping. Look for UCONN to steal a win on the road tonight.

30* TNF

Atlanta Falcons -6.5

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have let back up quarterbacks beat them in back to back weeks. Actually a second stringer in Derek Anderson and a THIRD stringer in Austin Davis. This team is a mess.

Typically, home teams win Thursday Night Football. History should repeat itself here since Matt Ryan has been fantastic at home in his career and he has everyone healthy.

30*

Oakland Raiders +3

I know I bashed the Raiders last week and now I'm picking them Week 2 but hear me out. Houston was the worst team in the league last year and now they are a ROAD FAVORITE? I don't think so. Yes the Texans did win last week, but Washington did everything in their power to hand that game to them. Costly fumbles, a blocked punt, and part of it is just because they are the Redskins. I'll gladly take the points here with Oakland and that stout defense. Taking Oakland on a teaser to +10 could be a solid option as well. Green Bay seems like a good 2nd leg.

50* NFL Underdog of the Month

Jacksonville Jaguars +7 (-140)

I realize that this line is pretty much at 6 across the board. This play is still a 50* wager at that number, but I absolutely LOVE the Jags getting a touchdown. I do recommend buying the point, if possible, simply because the Redskins shouldn't be laying 2 possessions (to win) to ANYONE.

I hate to admit this but I'm a Redskins fan at heart. I have been since I was young and let me tell you, it sucks. This team honestly does whatever they can to lose ball games. This organization has RGIII all messed up. This guy IS NOT a pocket passer. He scrambles and excels running the pistol or some sort of offensive system where he can get outside the pocket. Yes he may get hurt, but that's how he plays. Trying to make him something he is not will not work and I'm sorry to say this but the Redskins are going to ruin his career just like they have so many other players. Some of this blame does go on Robert though. He is a horrible 3-12 against the number since injuring his knee in the playoffs to Seattle. These Redskins have absolutely no business laying this many points. Most people look at the Jaguars and still think that they are the worst team in the league. Chad Henne is a huge improvement over that ridiculous Blaine Gabbert experiment and I see this team surprising a lot of teams this year. These Jags just took Philadelphia to the brink and they play a great brand of defense. I'll end on this. FedEx field is a complete joke. There is no home field advantage there and half of the seats are gone from the upper level so Dan Snyder can still "sell out." I follow the Redskins very closely and I believe that getting the points with Jacksonville is strong enough to make this the underdog game of the month.
