30* Road Warrior

Miami Dolphins PICK

We cashed with the Miami Dolphins last week and we're going right back to them again. This team is much improved. They also have a history of carrying their success into the next week off a big win. The Dolphins are 6-2 following an ATS win and they are 4-1 following a straight up victory. The Buffalo Bills pulled a huge upset last week going into Chicago and knocking off the Bears in OT. Bad news for the Bills is that they are just 5-15 their last 20 following an ATS win and they are just 7-22 their last 29 following a straight up victory. They may be 1-0, but the Bills are still the Bills. I don't believe the Bills have much of a home field advantage in September since it's not freezing cold yet, especially for a team like Miami who plays in such great weather all the time. Look for Tannehill and company to take care of business on the road.

Dallas Cowboys +3.5

I love this spot for the Cowboys and I placed a small wager on Dallas ML as well.

Playing on the road this week is probably the best thing for The Cowboys. They were booed out of Jerry's world Week 1. I also feel that Dallas will bounce back well versus this Titans squad. I know many of you may laugh at this next comment, but hear me out. The Cowboy's D is not that bad. They held the 49ers to ZERO points in the second half and gave up the points only because they were -4 in TO margin. Short fields and Romo INTs lead to those points. If the Cowboys stay committed to the ground game, which they have a lot of success doing, Tennessee should be in for a long day. This line is an over-reaction to Dallas losing badly and Tennessee stomping a depleted Chiefs squad that was due for a big regression. Even though Dallas got crushed as an underdog last week, historically The Cowboys thrive in the underdog role. Look for Dallas to stretch the field and as long as Tony Romo isn't the horrendously bad, turnover prone, Tony Romo, we cash this ticket.  

Minnesota Vikings +3.5

Let me clear up the confusion on this selection.

We released a TOP PLAY on this selection on the Vikings earlier in the week but then the news of Adrian Peterson came out. So we deleted the pick and released it as a free play. Since some of my subscribers already received this play on the Vikings, it has to stay in the system for record keeping purposes. Like I said before, feel free to buy back on New England ML if you like to set up a middle or just let it ride. I personally think it's an over-reaction and kept my wager. I had a 50* wager on Minnesota so I bought back 10* on New England ML. Sorry for the confusion and Best of Luck today!

40* Big Underdog

Boston College +17

We cashed our PAC-12 GOM with the USC Trojans last week and I'll be the first to admit, we got lucky. Stanford dominated the ball game throughout but USC did just enough to win. This was a HUGE win for Southern California and I believe that they are going to be in for a bit of a let-down this week. Boston College lost last week to Pittsburgh 30-20. Good news for BC is that they did play Friday at home, so they have an extra day to prepare and they don't have to travel. USC has to travel all the way across the country for this game and you best believe these fans are going to be jacked up for the mighty Trojans on ESPN. 17 points is just WAY TOO MANY for this team to be laying on the road. Am I calling for the outright upset? No. Do I believe this will be a closely contested game throughout. Absolutely. Even if this one does get ugly, the back door will be wide open given the fact that Boston College will show some pride playing at home on National television.

20*

Oklahoma -20.5

This is Oklahoma chance to prove they are one of the top teams in the nation by crushing an SEC team in front of their home crowd. If Stoops has the opportunity, he's going to run up the score on the boys from Tennessee.

30* SEC

South Carolina +6

The public is going to be all over Georgia in this one. Let me tell you, this game IS the season for South Carolina. They lose this game and they are out of any talk of postseason. This line opened as SOUTH CAROLINA the 6 point favorite when the games of the year were released in the summer. You mean to tell me that this line needs to change 12 points over 1 football game? That's ridiculous. This game should be a battle all the way to the end and getting these generous 6 points on a very live home dog in the Gamecocks is the way to go.

20*

Stanford -28

Both Stanford and Michigan come off losses that should really fire up these squads. Army and Miami (OH) are TERRIBLE and they are playing on the road. These games could get ugly quick. Look for these two teams to lay a total beat down to get rid of the stench they laid behind the week before.

Note: Army is 0-9 ATS on the road the last 2 seasons.

50* MAX BET

Missouri -9.5

Matty Mauk has really become the leader of The Missouri Tigers and a lot of people have forgotten about this squad. Let me remind you. This team is legit. Don't forget that they played for the SEC championship last year, which is really like the mini National Championship. I believe that UCF is totally out matched in this one. Missouri has a great home crowd and they are an amazing, 15-5 ATS, their last 20 games. I refuse to over think this one and Missouri should dismantle Central Florida Saturday afternoon.

20*

East Carolina +11.5

I simply don't like VT and I think they are over-rated every year. They just had a huge upset win against a mediocre Ohio State team and Virginia Tech better be careful or they could be the one's getting upset this time around.

30*

Georgia Southern +20

40* TNF GOW

Pittsburgh Steelers +3

This play is a fade of the Baltimore Ravens. The Ray Rice domestic violence case has completely blown up after the release of the elevator video and now, 3 days later, they get the first ever Thursday Night Football game on CBS. The headline of this game is going to be about Ray Rice and the NFL's punishment. This is going to be a HUGE distraction for the Ravens. Besides the fact of this distraction, these teams always play each other very tough and the games are decided by 3 points or less almost every meeting; 8 of the last 11 to be exact. I believe the Steelers are going to have a very solid season this year and will get 9-10 wins. Getting the points here with Pittsburgh in this bitter rivalry is the way to go.

50* MNF MAX BET

San Diego Chargers +3

This game is a case of public perception. The Arizona Cardinals are overrated and The San Diego Chargers are underrated, IMO. Philip Rivers has been reborn, so to speak, under Mike McCoy and has become a top QB again. This Chargers defense has also made some improvements and picked up Dwight Freeney and Brandon Flowers. The Cardinals, on the other hand, should regress from their surprising 10-6 finish last year. They were projected to win just 5 games last year. Carson Palmer is too unreliable and can become a turnover machine when things go south. Look for San Diego to take care of business on the road, where they excelled last year (ATS), and bring down Arizona on Monday Night Football.

30*

Tampa Bay Buccaneers -2

Oddsmakers are telling us something here guys. Tampa Bay is favored over one of the best teams in football last year. Watch out, Carolina could be in for a rude awakening in 2014. Lovie Smith gets his first win as new head coach as Tampa Bay cruises.

20*

New York Jets -5

The best way to put this one is that Oakland sucks. They have nothing and now they are relying on young Derek Carr to get it done for them on the road in New York. Sorry Oakland...you guys may be the worst team in football this year.

50* Big Underdog

Miami Dolphins +5.5

This game seems just way too easy to take New England. Everyone and their mother is going to line up to back Brady and the boys for some easy money. Not so fast my friends. Miami always plays New England tough and this is just too many points to pass up on a very live HOME dog. I expect Ryan Tannehill to be much improved this year and should thrive under his new OC and better offensive line. The Miami Dolphins in recent years have thrived in the underdog role and don't be surprised if this is a battle all the way down to the end.

30*

Air Force -1

50* PAC-12 GOM

USC (Southern California) +3.5

Update: Tuesday this line has dropped to +2.5 almost everywhere. I have USC winning outright so getting points is just a bonus, IMO. If you feel more comfortable, buy the hook. For what it's worth, I did place a small wager on the ML. USC is just stacked with talent and Cody Kessler has really blossomed into a beast. Steve Sarkisian is a HUGE improvement for this team and he should have some tricks up his sleeve for this momumental game. The Trojans should be able to win the battle in the trenches since the Stanford O-line is practically all new from losing 4 starters from last years team. 

30*

South Alabama -3

50* Vegas Insider

Akron +15.5

In a nut shell, Penn State is not a very good team and has to travel back from Dublin. This is a horrible spot for them. Last year, Notre Dame was laying a huge number to a horrible Purdue team and almost got beat outright. I see a lot of similarities in this game and I would not be surprised one bit if Akron keeps this game close and threatens for the outright, just like Purdue did a season ago.

40* Bailout GOW

Nevada +4

Teams from smaller conferences get up big time when a team from a power conference comes into their house, especially a team they have a chance of beating. We saw it last night with UTSA and they managed to cover and I believe we'll see the same thing again here tonight. Washington State does one thing and that's pass the ball. Nevada should be able to shut down their passing game enough so that Cody Fajaro and company can run around that terrible defense of WSU. I expect this game to be back and forth with Nevada pulling away at the end. 

40*

Green Bay Packers +5.5

I personally bet part of my wager at +7 (-140) because getting a TD cushion with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers seems like a no brainer to me. If you can't buy points, don't worry, I almost called for the outright upset but it's just so tough to beat Seattle at home, so taking the points is the way to go.

I am VERY high on the Packers this year and I expect big things from them. For what it's worth, I personally made wagers on Green Bay to win the NFC North, win the NFC & Super Bowl, and OVER 10 Regular Season wins. People are forgetting how good this team really is because Aaron Rodgers went down last year and they became an afterthought. The Packers made some key moves on the defensive side of the ball in the offseason and we already know how amazing their offense is with Aaron Rodgers and company. Eddie Lacy now has a year under his belt and he shined last year in this offense. Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb will be 2 studs this year and will rack up fantasy points for all you fantasy guys out there.

Side note: Do you guys remember the infamous "Fail Mary" where the replacements refs blew the final play call between these two? Well you best believe the Packers do and I believe this helps our cause as well.

30*

UTSA +8

I see a game here that UTSA controls the tempo of the game by running the ball and playing some stout defense. It seems way too easy to take Arizona here but I believe the Wildcats are in for a rude awakening. This UTSA defense is for real. They shut down the high powered Houston offense and that was on the road. They get Arizona tonight at home. This is a HUGE game for UTSA and I expect them to come up big in front of their fans and stay inside the number tonight.

40* ACC GOW

Louisville -3

The Black out is going to be in full effect tonight in Louisville and that smells trouble for the young Freshman QB for Miami, Brad Kaaya. I think it's going to be extremely difficult for this young kid to adjust to the pressure of playing under the lights, a nationally televised game, and in front of a ruckus crowd. Good luck Brad. Petrino returns tonight for Louisville and you best believe he'll have his guys ready for this HUGE game. I see a game filled with mistakes and turnovers from Miami, and this line offers plenty of value because most people aren't going to want to back Louisville since the departure of Bridgewater. Let's remember this guys, teams from powerhouse conferences, they don't rebuild, they reload. We'll take Louisville to get their first win in their new conference, the ACC, tonight.

50* Run-Line GOM

Cleveland Indians +1.5

The Indians are a hot ball club right now and getting the extra run at this price seems like a steal. I will ONLY take the +1.5 if I believe the side can also win outright and since this should be a low scoring, close ball game throughout, the insurance protects us from the KC bullpen if they go up by 1 late in the ball game. 

30*

Ohio +3

This team is playing with double revenge and last year's meeting was a total embarrassment. I usually don't go crazy over revenge situations, but I feel this one is powerful enough, especially considering the rivalry, to warrant a strong wager.

30*

Clemson +7.5

I feel this game is going to be very competitive throughout. I don't trust Georgia at all. They always seem to fall apart or stub their toe at the beginning of the season. Clemson has a TON of talent, especially on the defensive side of the ball. As you know, we love the under in this contest and catching the points correlates well.

40* Big Underdog

Georgia Southern +23

GSU is a cover machine against the "Big boys" of the FBS. They covered vs. Alabama, Georgia, and beat Florida. This is their first year in the FBS and I expect them to make a statement in their first game. NC State just flat out stinks. They have a new coach and lost their QB. The Wolfpack didn't win a single conference game last season and got embarrassed, at home, their last game of the season. Georgia Southern should definitely keep this game close and wouldn't be surprised if this was a battle throughout.

30*

UCF (Central Florida) -1

50* Vegas Insider

Colorado State +3

Colorado State is returning almost all of their top key players this year including ALL their top WRs and their QB, Garrett Grayson. This kid broke school records and should keep on improving this season. This offense should pick up right where they left off considering the QB and the TOP WRs are all back after a record breaking campaign. Colorado state clearly has more experience than Colorado and they are playing with revenge from last season. Little bro beats big Bro tonight as we believe that State wins this ball game OUTRIGHT.

50* ESPN GOM

(Ole Miss) Mississippi -10

First let me start with this. This game is in ATLANTA, aka SEC country. Secondly, Boise State has a new coach now and it's going to take a bit, I believe, to get things going for the Broncos.

The Rebels QB, Bo Wallace, looks to have a break out year this season and I think he does just that. This is Mississippi's chance to shine on National Television and prove that they belong in the SEC. Even though we saw some crazy things last year, we know that when it comes down to it, the SEC plays outstanding defense. Ole Miss should dominate on both sides of the ball and the Rebels should definitely win this game by 2+ touchdowns.

UL-Monroe +3.5

This play has been bet down to +2.5 now and I have actually seen a couple +1s. This is sharp money all the way. Although this play is as good as it gets at +3.5, I still love it getting points because I believe UL-Monroe wins this game OUTRIGHT regardless.

40* 

Dallas Cowboys +3.5

Miami Dolphins coach, Joe Philbin, does not care about pre-season football. The Dallas Cowboys are winless, 0-2, this preseason and IMO teams do not want to go winless in the preseason. This is the dress rehearsal for the NFL and the cowboys should have some pride and take care of business tonight. They should have won last game against the Ravens but fluke plays cost them the game. Expect Tony Romo and company to get the W tonight.

50* Run-Line MAX BET

Seattle Mariners -1.5

Felix Hernandez is untouchable. Let's face it, he's the best in the A.L. and Kershaw is the best in the N.L. We are backing him tonight facing a team that is coming off a walk off 19 inning victory in Toronto and has to fly all the way out to Seattle to face the league's best. Meanwhile, the Mariners get to stay put at home after beating the White Sox there last night. Good Luck with that, Blue Jays! I fully expect Felix to throw another gem and if the Mariner bats can get at least 4 off the tired Blue Jay arms, we should cash this ticket. 

40* RUN LINE ROUT

Los Angeles Angels -1.5

Clay Buchholz is not a very good pitcher right now and is prone to the blow up inning. Garrett Richards has been solid all year and the Angels should run up the score on the Red Sox tonight. This one shouldn't even be close.

50* Preseason MAX

Cleveland Browns +1

Lions Head Coach, Jim Caldwell, does not care about preseason whatsoever. All the Lions stars are young players that already know their role on the team, and they don't want to risk injuries for their promising season. The Browns on the other hand, are the exact opposite. The have a rookie head coach, a QB controversy, and young players that haven't proven anything. I will admit I'm not a huge Manziel fan, but this kid will be facing 2nd and 3rd stringers tonight and he should have a solid game. Browns win their preseason opener here. 

40* Run Line GOW

Seattle Mariners -1.5

50* Vegas Insider

Houston Astros +1.5

We are betting some on the money-line as well at +120. Houston can definitely win this game outright and I love that fact that this game opened at -145 for Toronto and has been bet down to -130 with 97% of the bets on the Blue Jays. The extra +1.5 runs of insurance makes this bet a no brainer. You can choose to bet this game however you please, either all on the RL or all on the ML but we chose to bet 3.5% on the RL and 1.5% on the ML.

Typically, it's always a solid bet to fade RA Dickey when pitching in a dome because there is no outside forces to help his knuckle ball. Pitching in Houston, Dickey has an ERA of 7+ with 3 bombs in just 11 innings pitched. He also is coming off an excellent performance his last outing and that's also a good time to fade the knuckleballer as well. When Dickey takes the mound on the road, the Blue Jays are 3-8. Oberholtzer gets the nod for the Astros and he is a lefty. Toronto this season has a losing record vs. the Southpaws and Oberholtzer has been doing a great job lately on the bump. Toronto hasn't seen much of him, which is always a plus when looking to back a pitcher. Great spot to fade the Blue Jays and to go against the public here and we'll take the Astros with the insurance tonight.  

40* Run-Line GOW

Detroit Tigers -1.5

This could be over quickly. Matzek is just not ready for the big time and gets shelled on a daily basis. Rick Porcello has been the bright spot for the Tigers this season in their rotation and this is a good old fashioned pitching mismatch. Detroit does very well off LHP and they should score plenty off Matzek. Colorado is in a serious rut right now and The Detroit Tigers are looking like serious title contenders if they can get their bullpen, especially Joe Nathan, to wake up. With Porcello pitching lights out at home and the ability of Detroit to score plenty of runs, laying the extra 1.5 is the way to go.

20*

Kansas City Royals +1.5

Taking this game simply because of the line movement. It opened at for the A's at -210 and has been bet down to -155! Something is definitely up here and I'll take the extra run because it can't be ignored.

40* Run Line

Oakland Athletics -1.5

We are correlating the Run lines with the Overs tonight which is typically the only way to look when laying the run and a half.

I believe it would even be a safe bet to do a 3 team money-line parlay with Chicago, Oakland, and Detroit as well, which would give you roughly a +200 payout

This RL is my favorite of the tonight because of the pitching mismatch here. I give the edge to Oakland because The White Sox recently faced the Twins with the same probables and The Tigers can crush the ball but you have to worry about Verlander now even though the should DESTROY Colorado and Morales. Sonny Gray should shut down the Royals and Oakland should light up Guthrie.

70* NBA BIGGEST PLAY OF THE SEASON

San Antonio Spurs -5.5

The Spurs have been waiting for this day since losing Game 7 last year. They devoted their entire season to pay back the Heat for taking the NBA Championship away from them. We should be talking about the Spurs repeating right now. They completely let the championship slip through their fingers last year not hitting their free throws down the stretch and well, you know the story. Gregg Popovich deservingly won the NBA Coach of the Year because he kept his players focused the entire year and ultimately leading the Spurs to the best record in the NBA. Plenty of teams would have given up and suffered a big time let down losing the Championship like the Spurs did. No team in the league plays with more heart and plays more complete team basketball then these guys. The Spurs get their chance Sunday night to do what they have been waiting so long for, and that's giving the Heat a total beat down to win the NBA Championship. To make it even sweeter, they get to do it in front of their home crowd.

The Spurs have dominated the Heat this entire series. San Antonio could have easily swept Miami. The Heat have absolutely no answer for the Spurs. They can't defend down low and if they try, the sharp shooters of the Spurs make them pay from beyond the arc. No matter what the Heat seem to throw at them, the Spurs anticipate every move and do it to perfection. Spurs run away with this game in the 2nd half and this time its Tim Duncan and company hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy! 

Miami has won 13 straight times coming off a loss in the playoffs. This team knows how to bounce back. What makes this play even better is that they get to revenge a home loss on their home floor. Watch out for LeBron James. He seems to always come up big time when his team needs it. Miami knows they have to win this game or they can kiss the Championship good bye. There is no way they can beat the best coached team in the NBA 3 games in a row. I'm betting that it is 2-2 going back to San Antonio.

40* WNBA GAME OF THE WEEK

CONNECTICUT SUN +7

Big time sandwich spot for Phoenix who have played a tough schedule recently and then have the best team in the WNBA on deck. Phoenix will be looking ahead in this one.

The Spurs are the better team. They have the better coach and play better team basketball. Not to mention, the best bench in the NBA. Those are the 3 key ingredients in a champion. The Spurs should be going for the repeat this year because they totally threw away Game 6 last year and the series. 

All the Spurs will be playing with a chip on their shoulder tonight because all everyone is talking about is how the Heat would have won with Lebron in the game. There's a bit of a qualifier for their victory and San Antonio wants to prove tonight that their victory was not a fluke. Also, the Spurs are dominant at home, blowing out everyone that comes to visit. 

The last 4 games in this series, the favorite is 4-0. Look for 5-0 tonight as we'll take San Antonio as our GAME 2 SMACK DOWN.

The San Antonio Spurs play with a big time chip on their shoulders as they know they blew their chance BIG time last year to win their 5th NBA finals. I believe they are the better team in this series. They have the much better and deeper bench and they play a better brand of basketball.

Gregg Popovich is hands down, the best coach in the NBA. He always makes the correct adjustments and has shown he knows how to shut down the best player in the League, LeBron James. Home field advantage is huge for this series and the Spurs own it. Spurs take game 1 as well as the series. We'll take the San Antonio Spurs as our NBA FINALS GAME OF THE MONTH.

This is a serious pitching mismatch as Kevin Correia faces Tanaka in which is sure to be a blow out victory for the Bronx Bombers. 

Correia has an ERA over 6 runs and a WHIP of 1.5. Tanaka has been incredible this season mainly because teams haven't seen him yet. You guessed it, either have the Twins. Tanaka has also been better during they day and so have the Yankees bats. This could be over early especially if the ball is flying over the wall for the Yankees, which happens more often than not, in that short porch during the day. I expect the New York to cruise in this one and we'll take them minus the run and a half as our RUN LINE GAME OF THE MONTH.

Everyone is going to believe that since the Spurs are back home their woes will be cured. Not so fast. Serge Ibaka makes ALL the difference in the world for the Thunder. Just look at the statistics and the good old fashioned eye test. The Spurs can't beat the Thunder with Ibaka in the line up. He clogs up the middle and San Antonio isn't getting the easy buckets in the paint they were in games 1 and 2. 

I do realize that every game has been a blow out. I think that all changes tonight. This is going to be a battle down to the wire. OKC definitely has the opportunity for the outright tonight and we'll go with the Oklahoma City Thunder as our 40* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK.

Give me the home team plus the run and a half against the pitcher they have seen plenty. Great situation here as well for the big red machine as well. All the big bats for Cincinnati are batting over .350 vs. Wainwright. 

With the lost posted total, which I lean under, I see GREAT value in the extra run here and we'll take the Reds +1.5 as our SUNDAY NIGHT BEST BET

50* NBA PLAYOFFS GAME OF THE YEAR

MIAMI HEAT -6.5

There is a reason the oddsmakers put the line this high. The Heat are the defending champs and just destroyed the psyche of the weak minded Indiana Pacers with their last win that the pacers let slip through their finger tips.

Lebron James played like a mad man in the 4th and now the Pacers are in BIG trouble now because Dwayne Wade is playing like his old self and that is the best one two punch in the NBA. Coach Spoelstra is a very underrated coach that always seems to make the right adjustments and the credit always goes to Lebron.

Miami Heat wins this game by double digits if their defense stops the anemic Pacers offense and we'll go BIG on the defending champs with our 50* NBA PLAYOFFS GAME OF THE YEAR

I know Ibaka is OUT but I love the angle when a star player is out, you play on that team. Teams tend to rally around one another and come up BIG. Usually a solid fade the next game though. The Thunder have beaten the Spurs the last 4 times and the Spurs are 1-5 at home vs. a team with a winning road record.

The thunder have a chance at the OUTRIGHT here but we'll take the point with our WESTERN CONFERENCE BEST BET
