TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

Seattle is riding a four-game winning streak and coming into this game at 7-4-2 for the season. The Predators are 6-13 in their last 19 vs. a team with a winning record and 3-7 in their last 10 games following a win. Kraken are 9-4 in their last 13 vs. a team with a losing record.

10* PLAY ON SEATTLE KRAKEN. 

NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Stars are 4-2-1 on the road and 8-3-1 on the season. The Stars won 6-2 at Edmonton on Saturday. They are 7-2 in their last 9 games playing on 2 days rest and 4-1 in their last 5 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. The Jets are 2-8 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and the Stars have won each of the last four matchups against the Jets. 

8* PLAY ON DALLAS STARS. 

CAVS/CLIPPERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Cavs are making some serious noise, coming into this game 8-1 SU and ATS. They defeated the Lakers here in LA last night and I don't think playing the second game in two nights will slow them down. The Clippers will also be playing on no rest after taking an L to Utah on Sunday and they are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. 

RAVENS/SAINTS M.N.F. 10* TOP PLAY

This looks like a good spot to back the Saints to build on a dominant 24-0 win against Vegas last week. They're at home for a second straight week while Baltimore will play on the road for a second straight week after winning at Tampa Bay on October 27. Saints are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 14 points. Ravens are 2-6 ATS vs. a team with a losing record and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Monday games.

10* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS SAINTS. 

PELS/PACERS 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Pacers have picked up the pace (no pun intended) with wins in three of their last four games. They had the weekend off after defeating Miami on Friday, but they are only 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest. They'll face a Pelicans team that has traded wins and losses all season, so they're on track for a win here after losing in OT at Atlanta on Saturday. Pelicans are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss.

10* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS PELICANS. 

TITANS/CHIEFS S.N.F. TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Titans are 5-2 to the under on the season and they've allowed 10 points in each of their last two games. The Chiefs beat the Niners 44-23  on October 23, but the under is 12-3-1 in Chiefs last 16 games following a bye week. The Titans held Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs to three points when they faced off last season. Titans QB Ryan Tannehill missed Thursday's practice and was limited on Friday. He was listed as questionable on the Friday injury report. 

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* PACKERS/LIONS TOP PLAY

The Lions are coming into this game on a five-game losing streak, but the Packers are in almost equally rough shape coming off four straight losses.

This is the Packers' third straight game away from home while the Lions have remained home in Detroit since a 31-27 home loss to Miami last week.

Lions are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss. Packers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

10* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS. 

COLTS/PATS NFL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Pats have won three of their last four games while the Colts are coming off a pair of losses to Tennessee and Washington. The Colts offense has been really bad all season, but their defense is solid and I think the Pats will struggle to get separation. 

Colts are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss. Patriots are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win.

8* PLAY ON INDIANAPOLIS COLTS. 

RAIDERS/JAGS BOOKIE BOMBER

This looks like a good spot to back the Raiders to bounce back from a shutout loss at New Orleans last week. They had scored 32, 29 and 39 points in their previous three games, and here they'll face a Jacksonville defense that has allowed 34, 23 and 21 points over the last three weeks (all losses). 

8* PLAY ON LAS VEGAS RAIDERS. 

LATE NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE TOP PLAY

Playing on the West Coast is never easy for the East Coast teams, but the Panthers have had time to settle in and defeated the Sharks in San Jose on November 3. The Panthers are 48-14 in their last 62 vs. a team with a losing record and the Kings are coming into this game off back-to-back losses. 

The Panthers are expected to give goalie Sergei Bobrovsky a rest but backup Spencer Knight is off to a hot start (3-1-0, 2.53 GAA).

10* PLAY ON FLORIDA PANTHERS. 

CELTICS/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

Both teams are coming off wins Friday night with the Knicks winning at Philadelphia while Boston defeated the Bulls at home. Celtics are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Knicks are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 home games.

8* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS.

UNLV/SAN DIEGO STATE CFB BOOKIE BU$TER

THe UNLV Rebels are coming off three straight losses, but they've had extra time to prepare for this one coming out of their bye week. In their last game, the Rebels lost 44-21 as a 26-point underdog at Notre Dame (covered the spread) and they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game. The Aztecs lost but covered the spread at Fresno State last week. The Aztecs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win.

8* PLAY ON UNLV REBELS. 

CFB TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* VOLS/BULLDOGS MAJOR WAGER

The Vols are 5-3 to the over while the Bulldogs are 5-2-1 to the under. THey rank No. 1 and No. 2 for total offense, but Georgia's defense is also one of the best in the country and I expect the home team to control the tempo of this game. It has yet to allow more than 22 points in a game this season and under is 9-4 in Bulldogs last 13 conference games and 35-17-3 in Bulldogs last 55 home games.

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MARYLAND/WISCONSIN CFB BOOKIE BOMBER

The Badgers are 2-1 under interim coach Jim Leonhard, and I like them to get the job done here as a home favorite against Maryland. Both teams are coming off their bye, but Maryland QB Taulia Tagovailoa missed their last game and is at risk of not being 100% here. Maryland is coming off back-to-back wins, but it has failed to cover the spread in three straight games. Terrapins are 13-31 ATS in their last 44 games following a straight up win.

8* PLAY ON WISCONSIN BADGERS. 

CLIPPERS/SPURS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER

The Spurs took a big beating by Toronto a couple of days ago and now they'll face a Clippers team that is coming off a solid win at Houston. The Clippers are one of the best defensive teams in the league and the Spurs are dealing with injuries.  

8* PLAY ON LA CLIPPERS. 

TOP-RATED 10* HEAT/PACERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

I think the Pacers are in for a tough one after covering the spread in three straight games. They've had three days off since closing out a five-game road trip with a loss in Brooklyn, but that much time off is not necessarily a good thing. The Pacers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 3 or more days rest and the Heat are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Indiana.

10* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. 

TOP-RATED 10* EAGLES/TEXANS T.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

I'm still not 100% sold on the Eagles, but they are looking more and more like the real deal. They are running the ball very well, and this could get ugly for the Texans who rank dead last against the run. Additionally, the Texans are beat up on defense and their offense is just terrible. Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games. Texans are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 Thursday games.

10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. 

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* PELS/LAKERS MAJOR WAGER

The Lakers are 1-5 SU and ATS on the season. They won big last time out, but are still not playing like a team, unlike the Pels who have a good mix of routine and young and hungry players. Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Lakers are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Lakers are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest.

10* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS PELICANS. 

GRIZZLIES/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BOMBER

The Blazers are off to a hot 5-1 SU and ATS start to the season, but I think they're in for a tough game here against a Memphis team looking to bounce back from a pair of losses at Utah. Grizzlies are 39-13 ATS in their last 52 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Trail Blazers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

8* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. 

CLIPPERS/ROCKETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Clippers are only 1-6 ATS on the season. They won by only two points in a 95-93 triumph here at Houston a couple of days ago, but I expect a more comfortable win tonight. Over the last three seasons, the Rockets are 7-17 ATS after allowing 105 points or less in their previous game and 13-25 ATS after scoring 100 points or less in their previous game. 

8* PLAY ON LA CLIPPERS. 

LATE NIGHT 10* NHL TOP PLAY

The Devils own the Nucks. They are 12-1 in the last 13 meetings overall and 5-1 in the last meetings in Vancouver. They're coming into this game on a three-game winning streak and they've lost only one of their last seven games. The Canucks are coming off back-to-back wins, but they are 2-5-2 on the season and this looks like a letdown spot after beating Pittsburgh as a sizeable underdog last time out. 

10* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

MIKE'S WARRIORS/HEAT NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER

Both the Warriors and the Heat are coming into this game on a two-game losing streak. The Warriours should be particularly disappointed, losing as decent-sized favorites at Charlotte and Detroit. The Warriors are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Warriors defeated the Heat 123-110 at home last week. Heat are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games.

8* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Golden Knights are 8-2-0 on the season and they've had a day off since defeating Winnipeg on Sunday. The Caps meanwhile will be playing on no rest and their third game in four nights after taking a shootout loss at Carolina last night. The Caps are shorthanded with center Nicklas Backstrom (hip) and wingers Carl Hagelin (hip), Tom Wilson (knee) and Connor Brown (lower-body) and T.J. Oshie (lower-body) injured. 

8* PLAY ON VEGAS. 

MIKE'S BENGALS/BROWNS M.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER

The Bengals have won four of their last five games and they are 5-0 ATS during that stretch. It's tough to play at that level for an extended amount of time, and here they'll face a Browns team that is desperate for a win after suffering four straight defeats. Divisional matchups tend to be close, and the underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. 

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND BROWNS. 

MIKE'S HAWKS/RAPTORS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER

The Hawks took a 123-115 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday, but they were playing on no rest after beating the Pistons in Detroit the previous night. Hawks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss, and I think they match up well against this Toronto team. Looking at the metrics, negative regression is likely to come for the Raptors. 

8* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. 

NFL GAME OF THE MONTH - NINERS/RAMS 10* TOTAL MAJOR WAGER

The Niners are 5-2 to the under on the season, the Rams 5-1 to the under. These two teams know each other extremely well, and the first meeting of the season saw a total of only 33 points scored. Under is 9-1 in 49ers last 10 games following a straight up loss of more than 14 points. Under is 21-7 in Rams last 28 home games.

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S STEELERS/EAGLES NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Eagles are 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS and hyped up as a Super Bowl candidate, but I'm not sold on them just yet. They've played a super soft schedule, and the Steelers are experts at hanging around in games they have no business winning. 

8* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH STEELERS. 

MIKE'S CARDINALS/VIKES NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Cardinals will be a much better team moving forward with star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension. They defeated the Saints 42-34 last Thursday and I would not be surprised to see the Vikes coming out flat here after four straight wins. Cardinals are 20-8-2 ATS in their last 30 road games.

8* PLAY ON ARIZONA CARDINALS. 

MIKE'S SUPER EARLY BRONCOS/JAGS @ LONDON BOOKIE BU$TER

The Broncos have been a huge bust, and after Russell Wilson's most recent performances, many signs point toward the Jaguars having the better QB in this matchup. Now, the Jags are much like the Broncos coming into this game on a four-game losing streak, but they're in a weaker division and have a better (albeit still slim) chance of making the playoffs. The Broncos are pretty much an auto fade until they give us a reason not to. 

8* PLAY ON JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Grizzlies have won four of their last five games and they put a 125-110 beating on the Kings at Sacramento Thursday night. The Jazz are in a tough spot coming off a 101-117 loss in Denver Friday night. Jazz are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. Jazz are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. 

MIKE'S ILLINOIS/NEBRASKA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Cornhuskers put up a great fight at Purdue before heading into their bye week. They eventually lost by six points as a 14-point underdog, and I like them to cover the spread again when hosting Illinois Saturday afternoon. The Fighting Illini are also coming off their bye week and upset Minnesota 26-14 before their bye week. They've reeled off five straight wins, and bye might ruin their momentum. 

8* PLAY ON NEBRASKA. 

MIKE'S RUTGERS/MINNESOTA CFB BOOKIE BOMBER

Rutgers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 24-17 win against Indiana last week. Now they head on the road to take on the Golden Gophers in Minnesota, but note that the Scarlet Knights are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games and Minnesota is coming off three straight losses, two of them as favorites. Both teams are looking really good on defense and I don't see the Gophers being able to pull away to cover this number. 

8* PLAY ON RUTGERS. 

CFB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S OSU/PSU 10* MAJOR WAGER

The Nittany Lions are in for a tough one when they host the Buckeyes Saturday afternoon, but they're coming into the game high on confidence following a 45-17 rout of Minnesota last week. The Nittany Lions are 17-5-1 ATS in their last 23 games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game and 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings with OSU. Ohio State has few, if any, weaknesses, but two touchdowns are too many points to give on the road at Beaver Stadium. 

10* PLAY ON PENN STATE. 

10* USF/HOUSTON CFB TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK

The Houston Cougars are 6-1 to the over the USF Bulls are 5-2 to the over. USF has allowed 40+ points in three of their last four games. Over is 8-1 in Cougars last 9 vs. a team with a losing record.

10* PLAY ON OVER. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Canucks have picked up only four points through their first eight games of the season. They're allowing 4.3 goals per game, and here they'll face the highest-scoring team in the league. The Pens will be well rested after having two days off since losing at Carolina on Tuesday while the Canucks will be playing on no rest after winning 5-4 in Seattle last night. 

8* PLAY ON PITTSBURGH PENGUINS. 

MIKE'S HAWKS/PISTONS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Hawks won 118-113 here in Detroit on Wednesday. They failed to cover the 7-point spread, but they're asked to cover a smaller number tonight. Bojan Bogdanovic hit some big threes in the last couple of minutes to keep it as close as it was, and I don't think they'll get as lucky this time around. 

8* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. 

MIKE'S RAVENS/BUCS T.N.F. 10* TOP PLAY

The Bucs are 3-4 on the season. Tom Brady is clearly frustrated with his teammates and distracted by issues in his personal life. The Bucs defense has been strong against the pass but weaker against the run, and we all know Baltimore runs both often and well (2nd in the NFL with 5.4 yards per carry). 

The Ravens are coming off a 23-20 win over Cleveland. They have traded wins and losses all season, but I think they'll be able to add to the Bucs misery. Buccaneers are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 Thursday games.

10* PLAY ON BALTIMORE RAVENS. 

MIKE'S MAVS/NETS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER

This looks like a good spot to back the Mavs to bounce back from a 113-111 loss at New Orleans on Tuesday. The Nets battled the Bucks Wednesday night and they are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 0 days rest. Brooklyn is really struggling on the defensive end and the Mavs have one of the best field goal percentages in the league. 

8* PLAY ON DALLAS MAVERICKS. 

MIKE'S SIXERS/RAPTORS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Sixers have had a disappointing start to the season, but they're coming into this game on a high note after beating Indiana 120-106 last time out for their first win of the season. 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

8* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. 

MIKE'S 10* RANGERS/ISLANDERS 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a tough spot for the Rangers who will be playing their third game in four nights and coming off a 3-2 OT loss to Colorado last night. The Islanders have had two days rest since taking a 3-2 loss at Florida, their third straight setback. Islanders are 4-0 in their last 4 games playing on 2 days rest and 6-2 in the last eight meetings with the Rangers. 

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK ISLANDERS. 

MIKE'S HAWKS/PISTONS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a great spot to back the Hawks as they look to bounce back from a humiliating 126-109 home loss to Charlotte. They've had two days to reset while the Pistons are coming off a 120-109 road loss at Washington last night. Hawks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss. Pistons are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

10* PLAY ON ATLANTA HAWKS. 

NBA GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S 10* WARRIORS/SUNS TOTAL

The Warriors are 3-0 to the over on the season as they've been allowed to run up the score against the Lakers, the Nuggets, and the Kings. Now they go on the road for the first time this season, and they'll face a Suns team that knows how to slow down the Warriors. Under is 13-3 in the last 16 head-to-head meetings and 3-0 in Suns' first three games of the season. 

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Are the wheels coming off the Rangers who have lost three of four since opening the season with a pair of wins? Nah, they'll be just fine, but I think they're in for a tough one here against an Avs team that will be playing on two days rest since beating the Golden Knights in Vegas on Saturday. Avalanche are 11-0 in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest. Avalanche are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

8* PLAY ON COLORADO AVALANCHE. 

NFC/AFC GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S BEARS/PATS M.N.F. BEST BET

I love Chicago in this spot as the Pats are getting way too much respect following their blowout win at Cleveland last Sunday. The Bears meanwhile are getting no respect whatsoever after three straight losses, the most recent at home against a weak Washington team. That was a Thursday night game, so the Bears have had extra time to prepare for this one. I would not be surprised to see Pats rookie QB Bailey Zappe with a poor outing as he might be feeling a bit too confident after throwing for 309 yards and two TDs on 24-of-34 passing against the Browns.

10* PLAY ON CHICAGO BEARS. 

MIKE'S JAZZ/ROCKETS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER

I'll gladly fade the Jazz who will be playing their second road game in two nights. They won 122-121 in OT at New Orleans last night, and that was after an OT win at Minnesota on Friday. The Rockets meanwhile are looking for their first win of the season after losses at Atlanta, to Memphis, and most recently a 20-point setback at Milwaukee. Rockets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

8* PLAY ON HOUSTON ROCKETS. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The New Jersey Devil opened the season with a pair of losses, but they have answered with a three-game winning streak, and I like them to stay hot here against a Washington side that is shorthanded due to injuries. 

8* PLAY ON NEW JERSEY DEVILS. 

MIKE'S TEXANS/RAIDERS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

Both teams are coming off their bye week, and I think the Raiders will find it difficult to pull away from a Houston team that has been surprisingly competitive, at least against the spread. The Raiders on the other hand have not been nearly as good as expected, and Davante Adams and Darren Waller are dealing with injuries. The Raiders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week.

8* PLAY ON HOUSTON TEXANS.

MIKE'S TEXANS/RAIDERS NFL TOTAL

Both teams are coming off their bye week, and I think the Raiders will find it difficult to pull away from a Houston team that has been surprisingly competitive, at least against the spread. The Raiders on the other hand have not been nearly as good as expected, and Davante Adams and Darren Waller are dealing with injuries. The Raiders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week.

In addition to Houston covering the spread, I also like the under, as  Under is 8-2 in Texans last 10 road games, 6-1 in Texans last 7 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game and 4-1 in Raiders last 5 games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S LIONS/COWBOYS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

I like Detroit here as I expect a strong outing from the Lions who are coming out of their bye week after getting humiliated in a shut out loss to the Pats on October 9. The Cowboys are in a potential flat spot after battling divisional rivals Philly on primetime Sunday night. Lions are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss.

8* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS. 

MIKE'S KANSAS STATE/TCU CFB BOOKIE BOMBER

TCU is 6-0 SU and 4-1-1 ATS on the season, but Kansas State is only marginally worse at 5-1 SU and 4-1-1 ATS. The Wildcats have won three straight since suffering an upset loss as a 13.5-point favorite against Tulane on Sep 17, and they are coming into this game off their bye week. The Horned Frogs are 14-30-1 ATS in their last 45 home games and Kansas State has won the last four meetings straight up and it is on a 6-1 ATS run in the series. 

8* PLAY ON KANSAS STATE. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Stars had opened the season with three wins before taking a 3-2 OT loss at Toronto in their last game. Dallas was outshot 43-28, but a big reason for the discrepancy is that they had to fight off eight penalties. I better discipline from the Stars players today, and I like the Stars to bounce back against a Montreal team that will be playing on no rest after defeating Arizona 6-2 yesterday. 

8* PLAY ON DALLAS STARS. 

MIKE'S MARSHALL/JAMES MADISON NCAAF BOOKIE BU$TER

This looks like a good spot to back James Madison to bounce back from a 45-38 loss at Georgia Southern. The setback aside, the Dukes put up 675 yards of offense and Marshall does not have the offense to keep up with this team.

Marshall is 1-3 in its last four games and it failed to cover the number in each of those four games.

The Thundering Herd rely on their running game to move the sticks, but their 4.5 yards per carry is just barely above the NCAAF  here they'll run into the best run defense in the nation.

James Madison is allowing only 36.2 rushing yards per game and 1.3 yards per carry. 

8* PLAY ON JAMES MADISON. 

ACC GAME OF THE YEAR - 10* CFB MAJOR WAGER

The Orange are coming into this game with an undefeated 6-0 record, but while they have home wins over teams like Louisville, Purdue, and NC State, facing Clemson at Memorial Stadium is a big step up in competition. The Tigers are also undefeated (7-0) with wins over ranked opponents in Wake Forest and North Carolina State.

Syracuse boasts one of the best defensive units in the nation, but here they'll face a Tigers team that has scored at least 30 points in every game this season. I expect full focus through the whole game here for the Tigers here after almost letting a 20-point lead slip in their 34-28 win at Florida State last week. 

10* PLAY ON CLEMSON TIGERS. 

MIKE'S CELTICS/HEAT SIDE

The Celtics impressed in their 126-117 win against Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Heat lost 116-108 to the visiting Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. The Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and they're coming into this game with an extra day of rest compared to the Heat. Celtics are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Miami.

Over is 7-1 in Celtics last 8 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Over is 17-5 in Heat last 22 Friday games.

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Nets took a 130-108 loss to the Pelicans in their season opener, while Toronto defeated Cleveland in its first game of the season. The Nets will be dangerous when healthy, but for now they're without Seth Curry and T.J. Warren while Joe Harris is listed as probable for this game. Last season, the Nets were 6-28 ATS as home favorites. This is a short number, but I like the Raptors in this one. 

10* PLAY ON TORONTO RAPTORS. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* CLIPPERS/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Lakers went 10-of-40 (20%) from three-point range in their 123-109 loss to the Warriors on Tuesday. Surely they'll find better looks here against a Clippers team that might be caught on its heels on defense in its season opener. Offensively, I don't think the Clippers will have any issues as the Lakers look quite soft on the defensive end. 

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* NHL BIG HITTER

The Islanders have won back-to-back games since dropping the opener as a home underdog against Florida. The Devils are 1-2 on the season after defeating Anaheim 4-2 on Tuesday. The Devils outshot Anaheim 41-20, but now they'll face an opponent they've struggled against in recent seasons. The Islanders have won eight of the last 10 meetings and the Devils are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in New York.

10* PLAY ON NEW YORK ISLANDERS. 

MIKE'S PELICANS/NETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Nets are coming off a disappointing season. They have a lot of new faces for this season, and while I expect them to improve I think they're in for a tough start here against a Pelicans team that is young and hungry. The Nets have a lot of talent, but they have yet to prove they're a good TEAM. 

8* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS PELICANS. 

MIKE'S SIXERS/CELTICS OPENING NIGHT TOTAL

The under is 7-1 in the last eight meetings between these two Atlantic Division rivals, and I expect both teams to come out with a playoff-like intensity on defense to set the tone for the season ahead.

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

I expect a strong effort from the Sens here in their first home game of the season after starting the season with a pair of losses, at Buffalo and Toronto. The Bruins meanwhile are in a potential flat spot after opening the season with three wins. Buy low, sell high is the name of the game. 

10* PLAY ON OTTAWA SENATORS. 

MIKE'S BRONCOS/CHARGERS M.N.F BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a potential flat spot for the Chargers following back-to-back road wins at Houston and Cleveland. 

The Broncos continue to struggle on offense, but they have one of the best defensive units in the league. They've been particularly good against the pass, and the Chargers do rarely pose much of a threat on the ground. 

In their last game, the Broncos took a 12-9 loss to the Colts. That was a Thursday night game, giving them extra time to prepare for this one and the Broncos are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. The Chargers are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

8* PLAY ON DENVER BRONCOS. 

MIKE'S MONDAY NIGHT NHL PUCKLINE PUNISHER

The Ducks opened the season with an OT win over Seattle, but they lost 7-1 at the Islanders in their most recent game. The Rangers had won back-to-back games before taking a 4-1 loss at Winnipeg in their last game. Still, the Rangers outshot their opponent 41-33, and Anaheim has allowed 48 and 38 shots in its two games. The Rangers are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings at Madison Square Garden, and I like them to bounce back with a big outing here. 

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK RANGERS -1.5. 

MIKE'S COWBOYS/EAGLES S.N.F. BOOKIE BU$TER

Dallas QB Cooper Rush is 5-0 SU and ATS as a starter (1-0 last season, 4-0 this season). The Cowboys have already defeated the Bengals and the Rams as underdogs and now they'll face a 5-0 Philly team that is way overrated because of its record. 

The Eagles are being touted as a top 3 team in the league, but I'm not sure I would have them in my top 5. They're getting a lot of respect for their undefeated record, but look at who they've played and I'm sure everyone will agree that they've played a really soft schedule. 

8* PLAY ON DALLAS COWBOYS. 

MIKE'S PANTHERS/RAMS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

This looks like a terrific "get right" spot for the Rams following back-to-back losses to San Francisco and Dallas. They struggled to get going against two offenses, but now they'll face a Carolina team that gave up 37 points to the Niners last week and 26 points to Arizona the week before (both games at home). The Panthers are an absolute mess and Matt Rhule was sacked from the head coach position earlier this week.

Rams are 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 games following a double-digit loss at home.

8* PLAY ON LA RAMS. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* ATS MAJOR WAGER

This looks like a great spot to back a Jacksonville team coming off a 13-6 home loss to Houston.

The Jaguars put up 422 yards of offense and outgained their opponent by 174 yards, but two INTs from QB Trevor Lawrence cost them dearly. I expect the Jags' offense to do well here against a Colts defense that ranks 30th in the league with only four takeaways on the season. 

The Colts are coming off an OT win at Denver on Thursday Night Football, but it was a struggle and I honestly still can't wrap my head around how the Broncos gifted them the game. Also, these two teams have already faced each other once this season, on Sep 18 when the Jags won 24-0. 

10* PLAY ON JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* TOTAL MAJOR WAGER

The Bucs defense has been phenomenal. The one blemish is their 41-31 loss to the Chiefs, but ... Pittsburgh does not have Patrick Mahomes at QB.

In fact, the Steelers will have rookie QB Kenny Pickett under center for his second career start. Pittsburgh ranks 29th in the league with 89 rushing yards per game so I just don't see how they'll be able to move the ball in this one.

There is of course the risk of the Bucs running up the score, but their offense has not looked all that great either. 

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S VIKES/DOLPHINS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER TOTAL

The Vikes have put up 28, 28 and 29 points through a three-game winning streak. They have however also allowed 24, 25 and 22 points. Miami starting QB Tua Tagovailoa was cleared from the concussion protocol on Saturday but will not be active for this game. Instead, rookie third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson is set to make his first NFL start. Don't know all that much about Thompson, but I do know teams have had no trouble moving the ball against the Vikes. 

8* PLAY ON OVER. 

MIKE'S LATE NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Vegas has opened the season with wins over the Kings and the Blackhawks. Seattle has opened the season with a win over the Kings and an OT loss to Anaheim. Vegas owned Seattle last season, winning all four meetings. The Kraken should be better than they were during their inaugural season, but they are still not on the same level as Vegas. 

8* PLAY ON VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS. 

CFB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* ATS BEST BET

At first glance, this might look like a good spot to back FSU off back-to-back losses, but I don't see them keeping up with an undefeated Clemson team that is just too good.

Clemson ranks 2nd nationally with 66.5 rushing yards allowed per game and FSU running back Treshaun Ward is banged up.

The Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and the Seminoles are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game.

10* PLAY ON CLEMSON TIGERS. 

MIKE'S SUN BELT BOOKIE BREAKER

The James Madison Dukes are 5-0 SU and ATS on the season. They outgained Arkansas State by 331 yards in a 42-20 win last week. They average a conference-best 44.2 points per game and are also best in the conference for both points allowed and total yards allowed. Georgia Southern took a 41-33 loss to Georgia State last week and it has allowed 34 points or more in four of six games. 

8* PLAY ON JAMES MADISON. 

MIKE'S MINNESOTA/ILLINOIS CFB BOOKIE BOMBER

The Minnesota Golden Gophers are coming off their first loss SU and ATS on the season. They lost 20-10 as a seven-point home favorite against Purdue, and I think they're in for another tough one here against an Illinois side that is riding a four-game winning streak. Both teams' defense has been phenomenal, but Illinois has played a tougher schedule and upset the Badgers at Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago. 

8* PLAY ON ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI. 

MIKE'S AUBURN/OLE MISS CFB BOOKIE BLA$TER

Auburn is 1-5 ATS on the season and it was routed at Georgia last week. They managed only 258 yards of offense and were outgained by 242 yards. The Tigers are allowing 166 rushing yards per game, and here they'll face an Ole Miss team that ranks eighth nationally with 242 rypg. Ole Miss is undefeated on the season and put a 52-28 beating on Vanderbilt last week. Rebels are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points.

8* PLAY ON OLE MISS. 

I like the Yankees as a home favorite against the Guardians Thursday night. The Yankees are 12-3 in Nestor Cortes' 15 home starts on the season and 3-0 in his last three starts. Cortes posted a 0.49 ERA over those three outings and he is 1-0 with a 2.50 ERA in five career appearances (two starts) against Cleveland. Guardians righty Shane Bieber is 1-1 with an ERA of 5.74 in three career starts against the Bronx Bombers.

Guardians are 0-6 in their last 6 playoff road games. Yankees are 12-5 in their last 17 playoff home games.

10* PLAY ON NY YANKEES.

MLB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

I expect the Braves to bounce back after losing the opener of this National League Division Series. The Braves are 24-6 in Kyle Wright's 30 starts this season, 14-3 in his home starts and they have won nine straight with Wright as the starter. As for Phillies ace Zach Wheeler, the team is just 8-6 in his 14 road starts. Despite yesterday's win, the Phillies are 4-11 in the last 15 meetings in Atlanta.

10* PLAY ON ATLANTA BRAVES. 

MIKE'S LIGHTNING/RANGERS NHL BOOKIE BLA$TER

This is a big revenge game for the Rangers after giving up a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Reigning Vezina Trophy winner Igor Shesterkin has a  2.00 GAA in nine career starts against the Lightning. Rangers netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy is 1-3-0 with a 3.23 GAA in the regular season at New York.

8* PLAY ON NEW YORK RANGERS. 

MIKE'S MARINERS/ASTROS MLB TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

This is a low total, but not low enough IMO. Justin Verlander went 5-1 with a 2.34 ERA in six starts against the Mariners this season while Seattle right-hander Logan Gilbert had a record of 2-1 with an ERA of 2.52 in four appearances versus the Astros this season. The over/under was 7-20-1 in Verlander's 28 starts this year. 

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S RAIDERS/CHIEFS NFL TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

Showtime Mahomes on primetime against a Raiders team that is allowing 24 ppg should be an automatic over, right? Not so fast.

Since the start of the 2018 season, the Chiefs are 4-0 to the under in Monday night games with a total of 50 points or more and the under is 5-0 in Chiefs last five Monday games overall.

Under is 6-2 in Raiders last 8 Monday games and 5-1 in Raiders last 6 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game, which they did in a 32-23 win against Denver last week.

Sure this could turn into a shootout, but I'll take my chances with the under. 

8* PLAY ON UNDER. 

AFC GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* BENGALS/RAVENS S.N.F. BEST BET

The Bengals are rolling again after a slow start to the season Over the last two weeks, they have outscored the Jets and the Dolphins by a combined score of 45-27 and they've had extra time to rest and prepare after beating Miami on Thursday night football.

The Ravens on the other hand are coming off a physical game against Buffalo, a game they lost.

Divisional rivalries are almost always close, and I love the Bengals in this spot. 

Bengals are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 vs. AFC. Bengals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. AFC North. Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Baltimore.

10* PLAY ON CINCINNATI BENGALS. 

MIKE'S EAGLES/CARDINALS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

This looks like a good spot to fade the 4-0 Eagles who also have covered the spread in three straight games. The Eagles are now touted as a top-three team in the league, but I'm not sold on them yet. While 4-0, they've played a soft schedule while Arizona has faced some tough opponents. The Eagles are overvalued and the Cardinals are undervalued. which is exactly the type of situation we are looking for. 

8* PLAY ON ARIZONA CARDINALS. 

MIKE'S FALCONS/BUCS NFL BOOKIE BOMBER

The Falcons are 2-2 SU and 4-0 ATS on the season. All their games have been decided by four points or fewer, and Tampa Bay has looked out of sorts in recent weeks. Sure, the Bucs have had a tough schedule to start the season, but they're only 2-2 and one can't help but wonder if Tom Brady made the right decision to unretire. He's getting virtually no relief from the running game, and the Falcons have looked surprisingly good when on the ball. 

8* PLAY ON ATLANTA FALCONS. 

MIKE'S LIONS/PATRIOTS NFL BOOKIE BA$HER

This is about as square of a bet as it gets, but Detroit's mix of a potent offense and soft decent is ideal for overs. 

Detroit is 1-3 despite averaging an NFL-best 35 points per game. Their defense is absolutely atrocious, and even veteran QB Brian Hoyer or rookie QB Bailey Zappe, whoever gets the start under center for the Pats, should be able to move the ball. Over is 7-0 in Patriots last 7 home games.

8* PLAY ON OVER. 

MIKE'S LIONS/PATRIOTS SIDE

This is about as square of a bet as it gets, but Detroit's mix of a potent offense and soft defense is ideal for overs. 

Detroit is 1-3 despite averaging an NFL-best 35 points per game. Their defense is absolutely atrocious, and even veteran QB Brian Hoyer or rookie QB Bailey Zappe, whoever gets the start under center for the Pats, should be able to move the ball. Over is 7-0 in Patriots last 7 home games.

In addition to the over, I also like Detroit to bounce back from their 48-45 loss to Seattle last week. Detroit is money against the spread as underdogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss.

8* PLAY ON DETROIT LIONS. 

CFB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* ARMY/WAKE FOREST TOTAL

Army is 3-1 to the over this season, but I expect this to be a low-scoring affair. Wake Forest is holding teams to 3.8 rushing yards per attempt and the Black Knights have attempted only 35 passes all season. 

Under is 18-7-1 in Black Knights last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 8-2 in Black Knights last 10 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S DUKE/GEORGIA TECH CFB BOOKIE BOMBER

This looks like a great spot to fade Georgia Tech who is coming off an upset win at Pittsburgh. They've struggled to stop the run most of the season and now they'll face a Duke team that has one of the best running games in the nation averaging 200 rushing yards per game. Yellow Jackets are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. Yellow Jackets are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS win.

8* PLAY ON DUKE. 

MIKE'S TEXAS TECH/OKLAHOMA STATE CFB BOOKIE BU$TER

The seventh-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS on the season. They have a well-balanced offense and rank 5th in the nation with an average of 47.8 ppg. Last week, the Cowboys won 36-25 as a 2.5-point underdog at then-No. 16 Baylor Bears.

Texas Tech has played a really tough schedule to start the season. This will be the fifth straight week that they'll face a ranked opponent, and one must wonder if they're about to run out of gas already.

In their last game, the Red Raiders lost 37-28 at Kansas State and they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Cowboys are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 conference games and 20-4-2 ATS in their last 26 games following an ATS win.

8* PLAY ON OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS. 

CFB GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* ATS MAJOR WAGER

The Tennessee Volunteers are perfect 4-0 SU and a strong 3-1 ATS on the season. They failed to cover as an 11.5-point favorite against Florida on Sep 24, but the victory was never in question. and they're coming into this game off their bye week. 

LSU is 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS on the season, and had a lot of trouble with Auburn last week. The Tigers managed only 270 yards of offense last week and they are 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games after accumulating fewer than 275 total yards in their previous game. The Volunteers rank #1 in the nation with 559 yards of offense per game and I don't see LSU keeping up with them. 

10* PLAY ON TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS. 

MIKE'S EARLY RAYS/GUARDIANS MLB BOOKIE BREAKER

The Guardians closed out the regular season with 24 wins in 30 games and righty Shane Beiber is 2-2 with a 3.22 ERA in six career starts versus Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay left-hander Shane McClanahan has one career start against Cleveland, in which he gave up five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 frames. 

Rays are 0-6 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. Rays are 1-6 in their last 7 playoff road games.

Guardians are 5-1 in their last 6 home games vs. a left-handed starter.

8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND GUARDIANS. 

MIKE'S COLTS/BRONCOS T.N.F. BOOKIE BU$TER

This looks like a good spot for the Broncos to pick up a win. They had won back-to-back games before taking an L to a desperate Raiders side last week. Despite the loss, note that Denver put up a season-high 23 points and now they'll face a Colts team that is averaging an NFL-worst 14.3 ppg on the season. 

8* PLAY ON DENVER BRONCOS. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

The Angels have a massive edge on the mound with Shohei Ohtani going up against rookie left-hander Ken Waldichuck who is 1-2 with a 6.18 ERA in six starts. Ohtani has an ERA of 0.92 over three starts covering 19 2/3 innings against the Athletics this season.

10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES ANGELS -1.5. 

MIKE'S RAMS/NINERS M.N.F. 10* TOP PLAY

The Niners are 1-2 on the season after taking a disappointing 10-11 loss at Denver last week. They are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss and they have owned the Rams in recent regular-season meetings, winning each of the last six.

The Niners have had this game circled since the schedule came out as they get a chance to avenge a loss to the Rams in last season's NFC Championship game. 49ers are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 Monday games.

10* PLAY ON SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS. 

MIKE'S MONDAY NIGHT MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Blue Jays are heading to the postseason. They're still battling Seattle for the top wild-card spot, but might still be tempted to rest players. Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios has a 6.75 ERA on the road this year and an ERA of 8.78 over his past three starts. Baltimore right-hander Dean Kremer has a 2.67 ERA at home and a 2.29 ERA over his last three starts. 

8* PLAY ON BALTIMORE ORIOLES. 

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* BRONCOS/RAIDERS TOTAL

The Broncos have yet to score more than 16 points in a game with Russell Wilson at the helm. They've still managed to ride their defense to back-to-back wins and now they'll face a struggling Raiders team that is one of only two teams without a win. The under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings between these two AFC West rivals.

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

Both the Colts and the Titans picked up their first win of the season last week. The Colts managed to take down KC as a home underdog, but I think they're getting too much credit for that one result and I'm not convinced that they have turned a corner yet.

The Titans are also off to a slow start, but they are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. These are two very evenly matched up teams, and the underdog looks like a great bet in this AFC South Divisional matchup that is likely to be decided by a late field goal.

8* PLAY ON TENNESSEE TITANS.

MIKE'S BILLS/RAVENS NFL BOOKIE BLA$TER

Buffalo might be the best team in the NFL when healthy, but at the moment, they are quite banged up. The Ravens are coming off a dominant win at New England. They have scored 38 and 37 points over their last two games. Additionally, not only are the Bills shorthanded, but this will be their second straight week on the road. Bills are 2-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Ravens are 9-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

8* PLAY ON BALTIMORE RAVENS. 

NFC GAME OF THE YEAR - 10* VIKINGS/SAINTS MAJOR WAGER

The Vikes are 2-1 on the season but needed a fourth-quarter rally to defeat Detroit last week.

The Saints are 1-2 on the season after taking a 22-14 loss at Carolina in Week 3. They outgained the Panthers by 426 yards and Jameis Winston threw for 353 yards, but two picks ruined the day. Winston should have a big game here against a Vikes defense that ranks 29th against the pass.

Also, after starting the season 0-3 ATS, it's almost a guarantee that the Saints are undervalued by the betting market while they really shouldn't. Since the start of the 2015 season, teams who are 0-3 ATS in Week 4 are 13-6 (68%) against the spread. 

Take the Saints to cover at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. 

10* PLAY ON NEW ORLEANS SAINTS. 

MIKE'S SATURDAY NIGHT NCAAF BOOKIE BU$TER

Coastal Carolina is 4-0 SU but 2-1-1 ATS on the season. Georgia Southern is 3-1 SU and ATS. The Eagles lost by only three points as a 3-point underdog at Nebraska on Sep 10. They rank 15 in the nation with 322.5 passing yards per game and Coastal Carolina has struggled against the pass. Chanticleers are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Eagles are 9-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

8* PLAY ON GEORGIA SOUTHERN. 

NCAAF GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* LSU/AUBURN TOP PLAY

Auburn is 3-1 SU but 0-4 ATS. LSU is 3-1 SU and ATS. Auburn had only 217 yards of offense and was lucky to make it to OT to beat Mizzou as a 7.5-point favorite last week. LSU has held opponents to fewer than 260 yards per game on average. Also, LSU should be well rested after toying with New Mexico last week.  

10* PLAY ON LSU TIGERS. 

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* MLB TOTAL

I think runs will come at a premium for both sides when Cleveland hosts Kansas City for the opener of a three-game series Friday night. Cleveland has clinched the division and could opt to rest players. They have scored two runs in each of their last two games. Royals righty Brady Singer has a 1.38 ERA in four starts this month. Under is 15-6 in Guardians last 21 home games vs. a right-handed starter.

10* PLAY ON UNDER. 

MIKE'S TULANE/HOUSTON NCAAF TGIF TOTAL

The Cougars are 4-0 to the over and Tulane 3-1 to the under. Tulane's defensive numbers look good on paper, but this will be the best offense they've seen so far. The Cougars have scored 30 points or more in each of their first four games of the season, but also allowed 27 points or more. Their points allowed per game average is 35.8. Tulane is averaging 33.8 ppg.
