10-08-17	Bills +3 v. Bengals	Top	16-20	Loss	-110	110 h 16 m	Show
NFL GAME OF THE WEEK The Buffalo Bills (3-1) stunned the Falcons last week as when winning 23-17 as an 8-point underdog at Atlanta. They've covered the spread in each of their four games on the season, and here they'll face a Cincinnati Bengals team they defeated 16-12 as a road dog last season. The Bengals (1-3) finally recorded a win last week, but beating up on the Browns doesn't deserve a lot of credit. They've struggled to move the ball against the more accomplished teams in the league and note that Buffalo's defense ranks number one in the NFL, allowing only 13.5 points per game (4th in total defense 284.3 ypg). The Bills offense meanwhile has scored at least 21 points in three of its four games, and I like the visitors to dominate on both sides of the ball in this contest. *My NFL Game of the Week is a 10 play on Buffalo Bills.**
10-07-17	Miami-FL -2.5 v. Florida State	Top	24-20	Win	100	29 h 47 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 CFB BOOKIE BREAKER The Miami FL Hurricanes are 3-0 and 2-1 ATS on the season. They really impressed me in their 31-6 victory at Duke last week, and I think they'll win and cover the spread here at Florida State Saturday afternoon. The Seminoles are coming off their first win of the season, a 26-19 victory as a 7-point favorite at Wake Forest. They had failed to cover the spread in two straight home games prior to that though, including a 27-21 beating as a 10.5-point favorite against NC State. Quarterback James Blackman is not contributing enough, and this won't be an easy matchup for the freshman. Note that the Seminoles gave up five sacks and 17 tackles for loss against Wake Forest and that Miami has 11 sacks on the season while ranking second in the nation in tackles for loss (nine per game). The Hurricanes are taking care of the ball extremely well and rank second nationally with only two turnovers in three games. Quarterback Malik Rosier is averaging 273 passing yards per game, with eight touchdowns and only two interceptions. Florida State's seven-game winning streak against Miami is tied for the longest for either team in the rivalry, but I like the Hurricanes to snap that streak here. My selection is a 10* play on Miami Hurricanes.**
10-05-17	Louisville -3.5 v. NC State	Top	25-39	Loss	-110	33 h 45 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 CFB GAME OF THE WEEK Both Louisville Cardinals and NC State Wolfpack are 4-1 SU but just 1-4 ATS on the season. Louisville crushed the Wolfpack 54-13 as a 19-point favorite last season, and I think they'll win and cover this spread with ease. The Cardinals are coming off a 55-10 rout of Murray State and racked up 676 yards of total offense in that contest. Louisville has outgained its last two opponents by a combined 985 yards while giving up just a combined 230 yards. Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson was 18-of-26 passing for 249 yard and three touchdowns and added 100 yards and a score on the ground against Murray State. He produced a huge game against the Wolfpack last year with four touchdowns in the first half alone. NC State won 27-21 at Florida State as a 10.5-point dog in Week 3, but I don't see them keeping up with the Cardinals high-powered offense here. My CFB Game of the Week is a 10* play on Louisville Cardinals.**
10-01-17	Titans -1.5 v. Texans	Top	14-57	Loss	-110	111 h 32 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 NFL GAME OF THE WEEK The Tennessee Titans opened the season with a disappointing 26-6 home loss against Oakland, but they've come back strong with impressive wins against Jacksonville and Seattle. They pounded the Seahawks on the ground in last week's 33-27 victory as DeMarco Murray rushed for 115 yards and a score while Derrick Henry added 54 yards on 13 carries. This Sunday the Titans will take on a Houston Texans team that gave the Patriots a real scare at Foxboro last week, but I'm not convinced they can come up with another performance like that two weeks in a row. Houston is known as a defensive team, but it gave up five touchdown passes to Tom Brady and has allowed 29 points or more in two of its three games. The Texans run defense is just 17th in the league and I think the Titans will wear them with their ground game. My NFL Game of the Week is on Tennessee Titans. My NFL Game of the Week is a 10* play on Tennessee Titans.**
09-29-17	Miami-FL v. Duke +7	Top	31-6	Loss	-115	54 h 14 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 CFB GAME OF THE WEEK Two unbeaten teams will clash at Wallace Wade Stadium Friday night when the 4-0 Duke Blue Devils entertain the 2-0 Miami Hurricanes. I really like the Blue Devils in this spot. Duke has two impressive victories under its belt already as it won 27-17 as a 1.5-point dog on the road at North Carolina last week and 41-17 as a 2-point home dog against Northwestern in Week 2. The Blue Devils defense has been excellent surrendering just 2.7 yards per carry and we can note that Miami's best RB Mark Walton sprained his ankle in last week's 52-30 win against Toledo. The Hurricanes have won their two games as big favorites, but I think the Blue Devils will make this a very close game in front of a rowdy Friday night crowd. My CFB Game of the Week is on Duke Blue Devils.**
09-25-17	Cowboys v. Cardinals +3.5	Top	28-17	Loss	-120	15 h 33 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 M.N.F. BOOKIE BREAKER Both the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys enter Monday night 1-1 on the season. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings while the home team is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 meetings, and I really like Arizona in this spot. Dallas' secondary is mighty banged up, and Arizona has a solid QB in Carson Palmer who threw for 332 yards and a touchdown in last week's 16-13 OT win at Indianapolis. The Cardinals outgained the Colts by 123 yards while the Cowboys were outgained by 112 in their 42-17 loss at Denver last week. The Cowboys struggled on both sides of the ball and it's quite possible both of last season's rookie sensations Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will have a let-down year. Prescott threw for just 238 yards with a pair of touchdowns and two picks against the Broncos while Elliott was held to eight rushing yards on nine carries. My selection is an 10* play on Arizona Cardinals.**
09-23-17	Florida -2.5 v. Kentucky	Top	28-27	Loss	-115	105 h 12 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 CFB GAME OF THE WEEK The Kentucky Wildcats are perfect 3-0 SU (1-2 ATS) on the season including an impressive 23-13 road victory as a 6-point underdog at South Carolina last week. I think they're getting way too much respect here in Week 4 though, and I like the Florida Gators to win and cover the spread at Commonwealth Stadium Saturday night. The Wildcats did most of their damage on the ground in their win against the Gamecocks as they earned 184 yards on 47 carries , but that's gonna be hard to repeat two weks in a row. We can also note that Kentucky was outgained in total yards (358 to 353) and allowed 304 passing yards to the South Carolina QB. The Wildcats are 1-5 ATS in their last six games after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game and they might find it hard to stop Felipe Franks who is heating up after a slow start. The Gators won last season's meeting 45-7 at home and they are 9-1 ATS through the last 10 matchups with their SEC rival. They showed great morale and never-say-die attitude when they came from behind and scored a game-winning Hail Mary touchdown as time expired against Tennessee last week. The Gators are more balanced on both sides of the ball, and they've owned the series big time in recent years. My CFB Game of the Week is a 10* play on the Florida Gators.**
09-17-17	Patriots -6.5 v. Saints	Top	36-20	Win	100	127 h 7 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 NFL GAME OF THE MONTH The reigning Super Bowl champions New England Patriots took a 42-27 beating as an 8-point favorite after a second half collapse against the Chiefs on Thursday in Week 1. I can't stress enough how much I like the Pats to come back and totally destroy the New Orleans Saints here in Week 2. The Patriots are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss of more than 14 points and Bill Belichick has had more than a week to get things right from the season opener. The Saints looked hapless in their 29-19 loss at Minnesota. If you allow Sam Bradford to throw for 346 yards and three touchdowns against you there's no telling how much damage a pissed off Tom Brady will do. The New England QB was 16-of-36 passing for 267 yards and no touchdown passes, and expect the GOAT to show why he's the GOAT as he gets back to his best in this contest. The Patriots are 5-1 ATS in their last six games in September. The Saints are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games in September. My NFL Game of the Month is a 10* play on New England Patriots.**
09-16-17	North Texas v. Iowa -21	Top	14-31	Loss	-115	75 h 58 m	Show
GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB) MIKE'S BEST CFB BET SATURDAY We won with the Iowa Hawkeyes as our College Football Game of the Week last week, and I'm backing them again here in Week 3 as they take on the North Texas Mean Green as a big home favorite. North Texas won its season opener 59-14 as a 17.5-point home favorite against Lamar, but the Mean Green didn't stand much a chance in last week's 54-32 defeat at SMU. They gave up 394 passing yards and five passing touchdowns, and such defending will spell trouble here against Iowa's Nathan Stanley who recorded 333 passing yards with five touchdowns and zero INTs in last week's 44-41 win at Iowa State. Akrum Wadley added 118 yards on the ground and Iowa has a very well balanced offense. The Hawkeyes are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game, and I think they'll keep rolling on offense while tightening up on the defensive side of the ball this week. *My CFB Game of the Week is a 10 play on the Iowa Hawkeyes.**
09-09-17	Iowa -2 v. Iowa State	Top	44-41	Win	100	61 h 11 m	Show
GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB) MIKE'S BEST CFB BET SATURDAY The Iowa Hawkeyes opened the season with a 24-3 win as a 12-point favorite against Wyoming in Week 1 while the Iowa State Cyclones defeated Northern Iowa 42-24 as a 10-point favorite. Iowa won last season's meeting 42-3, and I think the Hawkeyes will cruise to another easy victory against its in-state rival on Saturday. Hawkeyes' RB Akrum Wadley rushed for 116 yards on 24 carries last week, and as the Iowa State's strength in D is on the perimeter I think he'll have plenty of success here as well. Note that the Cyclones gave up 119 rushing yards on just 22 rushes for an average of 5.4 yards per carry against Northern Iowa. The Cyclones are improved from last season, but Iowa is still better on both sides of the ball and should cover the spread. *My CFB Game of the Week is a 10 play on Iowa Hawkeyes.**
09-02-17	Wyoming +11.5 v. Iowa	Top	3-24	Loss	-110	96 h 56 m	Show
*TOP RATED 10 CFB GAME OF THE WEEK The Wyoming Cowboys are spotted plenty of points here in the season opener at Iowa, and I think they look good to keep this a closer game than the spread would suggest. Wyoming started last season strong, going 7-2 before dropping four of their last five games. They have the benefit of returning Josh Allen under center. He threw for 3,203 yards with 28 touchdowns and 15 interceptions last season. The Hawkeyes on the other hand have lost last season's starting QB C.J. Beathard to San Francisco in the NFL, and they have four guys battling for the starting QB job. Reports suggest that Nathan Stanley will get the job, but he completed just 5-of-9 passes last season in a back-up role. Note that Iowa ranked just 95th in scoring offense with 24.9 points per game last season, but it had decent success thanks to its defense. It's hard to cover double-digit spreads with a poor offense though, and I'm confident that taking the points is the way to go in this matchup. My CFB Game of the Week is a 10* play on Wyoming Cowboys.**
01-22-17	Steelers v. Patriots -5.5	Top	17-36	Win	100	78 h 56 m	Show
Top Rated 10* AFC Championship Game BOOKIE BREAKER Play: New England Patriots Rating: 10/10* The Pittsburgh Steelers are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games overall, but I think they'll come up short against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. New England beat Pittsburgh 27-16 at Heinz Field back in Week 7, and the Pats are 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings. The Patriots defense was phenomenal against the Texans in the Divisional Round, allowing just 285 yards while making three interceptions. Pittsburgh's QB Ben Roethlisberger is of course far better than Brock Osweiler, but he's banged up and has not been able to put up big numbers here in the playoffs. The Pats have held opponents to an average of only 88.6 rushing yards per game on the season so I think they'll be able to contain the red hot Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell. Advantage New England on both sides of the ball, and on the sideline in Bill Belichick vs. Mike Tomlin. Lay the points.
01-22-17	Packers +5 v. Falcons	Top	21-44	Loss	-109	75 h 35 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NFC BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Green Bay Packers Rating: 10/10* The Green Bay Packers will clash with the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship game Sunday afternoon. The Packers are undefeated through their last eight games, and I'm well happy to take the points here. Atlanta's QB Matt Ryan has been sharp, but so has Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers as well and Atlanta's D has been vulnerable against the pass all season (28th in the NFL allowing 266.7 passing yards per game). Note that the Packers are 5-0 ATS in their last five playoff games while the Falcons are 1-6 ATS in their last seven playoff games. Take the points.
01-15-17	Packers +5 v. Cowboys	Top	34-31	Win	100	41 h 34 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 NFL Play: Green Bay Packers Rating:** 10/10* The Green Bay Packers are arguably the hottest team in the NFL as they wrapped up the regular season with six consecutive wins. They then handed the New York Giants a 38-13 defeat in the wild card game last Sunday, and I think they'll give the Cowboys a tough game here. The 13-3 Cowboys have done surprisingly well this season behind rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, but who knows how they'll play in a postseason game. The Packers have no such worries with experienced Aaron Rodgers at the helm, and he'll come up against a Dallas pass defense that ranks 26th in the NFL. Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven playoff road games, Cowboys 3-7 ATS in their last 10 playoff games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Take the points.
01-14-17	Seahawks +5 v. Falcons	Top	20-36	Loss	-108	28 h 56 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 NFL Play: Seattle Seahawks Rating:** 10/10* The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Falcons 26-24 on Oct. 26, and I like the points on the underdog here in the divisional round. Atlanta has an explosive offense led by QB Matt Ryan, but keep in mind that Seattle has held opponents to an average of just 17.5 points and 313.5 yards per game this season. The Seahawks cruised past Detroit with a 26-6 victory in the wild card round, and Thomas Rawls rushed for a new franchise playoff-record with 161 yards. The Seahawks are 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record while the Falcons are 0-6 ATS in their last six playoff games, and Matt Ryan has a 1-4 playoff record lifetime.
01-01-17	Packers -3 v. Lions	Top	31-24	Win	100	83 h 51 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Green Bay Packers Rating: 10/10* The Green Bay Packers will open the new year with a visit the Detroit Lions, and this is no doubt a massive matchup for both teams. The winner of the game will take down the NFC North, and I like the Packers to be the team to come out ahead. The Lions D got manhandled in a 42-21 defeat to the Cowboys last week, and here they'll face a Packers team that put up 38 against the Vikings top rated defense last week and has scored 30+ points in three consecutive games. The Packers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings and I think they'll run away with this game comfortably in the end.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Green Bay Packers Rating: 10* The Minnesota Vikings are just 2-7 SU and 3-6 against the spread in their last nine games. They're coming off a 34-6 home loss to the Colts, and I think they'll struggle big time here against the surging Green Bay Packers. Green Bay has won four on the bounce, covering the spread in all but one of those games. The Packers will be looking to revenge a 17-14 loss at Minnesota in Week 2, and they would take down the NFC North by beating the reeling Vikings here and winning at division-leading Detroit in Week 17. The Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has 10 touchdown passes and zero interceptions in the last five games, and running back Ty Montgomery rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 carries while adding four catches for 57 yards last week. We can note that the Packers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game, and I don't think the offensively challenged Vikings will be able to keep up with the Packers here. Green Bay to win by double digits.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Pittsburgh Steelers Rating: 10* The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing excellent football at the moment, and they really impressed me in last week's 27-20 win at Buffalo. The Steelers dominated the game from start to finish, and star running back LeVeon Bell rumbled for 200 yards and three touchdowns. It's noteworthy that Cincinnati ranks just 25th in the NFL against the run, so expect another big game from Bell here. Cincinnati is coming off back-to-back wins against Philly (32-14 at home) and Cleveland (23-10 on the road), but neither of those results are that impressive. The Bengals are 0-6-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and the Steelers are 16-4-2 ATS in their last 22 meetings in Cincinnati. The Bengals are banged up offensively playing without both wide receiver AJ Green and running back Giovanni Bernard, and we can note that Pittsburgh has allowed just a total of 50 points through its last four games. Nah, the Bengals won't stand a chance here, and I'm firing a BIG BET on the Steelers.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Pittsburgh Steelers Rating: 10* The Buffalo Bills have dropped four of their last after last week's 38-24 loss to Oakland. They struggled to stop Derek Carr, and now they'll face another top QB in the game in Ben Roethlisberger. Add running back Le'Veon Bell (Buffalo gives up 116,2 rushing yards per game) and top notch receivers to the mix and you have a very dangerous offense. The Steelers D has also stepped it up a notch in recent weeks, holding Cleveland, Indianapolis and New York Giants to a combined 30 points through three consecutive wins. The Bills rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards per game and quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed just 18 of 35 for 191 yards with no TDs and a pick last week. Buffalo leans on LeSean McCoy to move the chains on the ground, but the Steelers allow just 92 rushing yards per game, 6th best in the NFL. The Steelers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games in December and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings with the Bills.

Top Rated Thursday Night Football BIG TICKET Play: Oakland Raiders Rating: 10* The 10-2 Oakland Raiders will visit the 9-3 Kansas City Chiefs Thursday night, and this looks like an excellent spot to take the points on the visitors. The Raiders are coming off six consecutive wins and defeated the Bills 38-24 last Sunday, thanks to scoring 29 unanswered points. Derek Carr had another solid game with 260 yards and a pair of touchdown passes while Latavius Murray rushed for two scores. The Raiders D defended the pass well but surrendered 212 on the ground. The good news is that Kansas City ranks just 25th in the NFL with 98.8 rushing yards per game. The Chiefs have won six of their last seven, but each of their last four games have been decided by three points or fewer. KC allowed 418 yards of total offense with 297 yards passing and a touchdown to Matt Ryan in a 29-28 win at Atlanta last week. Oakland has an offense pretty similar to Atlanta, and I think the Raiders will put up big numbers on the offensive side of the ball here. The Chiefs defeated the Raiders 26-10 on October 16 in the last meeting, Oakland's last defeat. The Raiders will be hungry for revenge, and we can note that while KC is 4-1 straight up at home it's just 1-4 ATS. The Raiders are a perfect 5-0 SU and ATS on the road. Take the points on the Raiders and get ready to cash a BIG TICKET.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Oakland Raiders Rating: 10* The 9-2 Oakland Raiders enter Week 13 riding a five-game winning streak. They had covered the spread in each game during that stretch prior to coming up just short in a 35-32 victory against the Panthers last week. Take a look at the teams Oakland has beaten up on lately; Tampa Bay, Denver, Houston and Carolina. Not exactly easy opponents. Teams are struggling to slow down quarterback Derek Carr, and he should be good to go even though he suffered an injury to his pinky last week. Oakland does not have much of a running game, but it really doesn't matter when Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper are such reliable targets for Carr. The 6-5 Buffalo Bills are coming off back-to-back wins ... against Cincinnati and Jacksonville. It's worth noting that Buffalo is 1-4 ATS in its last five games and the Raiders are 4-0 ATS vs. a team with a winning record this season. It's not always pretty, but the Raiders are getting the job done more often than not and I think they'll run away with this game, covering the spread in the process.
12-03-16	San Diego State v. Wyoming +7.5	Top	27-24	Win	100	37 h 19 m	Show
Top Rated Mountain West Championship Pick Play: Wyoming Cowboys Rating: 10* This looks like a very tough spot for the San Diego Aztecs who are coming off back-to-back losses and 1-4-1 ATS vs. teams with a winning record. Sure, they had already qualified for the championship game by then, but blowing home field advantage was probably not in the plans. Now it be a super unfriendly environment at War Memorial Stadium in Wyoming instead and the Cowboys are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Wyoming defeated San Diego 34-33 as a 10-point underdog on Nov. 19, and I think they can pull another upset here in the Mountain West Championship game.
12-01-16	Cowboys -3 v. Vikings	Top	17-15	Loss	-116	19 h 48 m	Show
Thursday Night Football BLOCKBUSTER Play: Dallas Cowboys Rating: 10* The Dallas Cowboys are undefeated since their Week 1 loss to the Giants. They're 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall, and I like them to win and cover the spread here against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota has dropped five of its last six games and fell 16-13 at Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. Sam Bradford completed 31 of 37 passes for 224 yards with an interception. Dallas ranks 31st in pass defense giving up 280.4 yards per game, but Bradford poses very little threat and keep in mind that the Cowboys are holding opponents to 19.4 points per game, not far off Minnesota's 17.5. The Vikings rank dead last yardage-wise in the NFL, and they have virtually no running offense at all with Adrian Peterson sidelined. What the Cowboys do have is probably the best QB/RB duo in the NFL in rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, and they're protected by a phenomenal offensive line. Dallas ranks fifth in terms of total yards gained this season and it averages 28.7 points per game, a number which can be compared to Minnesota's 19.8. There's more desperation in the Vikings' camp compared to the Cowboys', but I would not go against the hottest team in the NFL in this game.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: New York Giants Rating: 10* The 7-3 New York Giants are going for a sixth consecutive win when they visit the 0-11 Cleveland Browns Sunday afternoon. Surely the Giants must win, and surely they must cover the spread. The hapless Browns are 2-9 ATS on the season and 0-5 home at FirstEnergy Stadium. They've scored just a total of 26 points through their last three games and will take on a Giants team that has gotten the job done on both sides of the ball in recent weeks. Quarterback Eli Manning has at least three touchdown passes in three of his last four games and Odell Beckham Jr. has made all of his team-leading six touchdown catches over the last six games. None of the Giants wins during their winning streak have come by more than seven points, and each of their 10 games this season have been within one score in the fourth quarter. Well you know what, I think the team is poised for a blowout win, and Cleveland has lost each of its last three games by at least 15 points. If the Giants only want to and care enough they'll win this by double digits with ease, and that's what I'm putting my money on them to do.

*Top Rated 10 Monday Night Football Play: Oakland Raiders Rating:** 10* The Oakland Raiders will take on the Houston Texans at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City in NFL Week 11's Monday Night Football matchup. Both teams are going strong sitting top of their respective division, but I like the Raiders to come through with a win big enough to cover the spread here. Oakland is a perfect 5-0 both SU and ATS on the road this season, and it has had plenty of time to prepare for this game coming off a bye week. The Raiders had reeled off wins at Jacksonville and Tampa Bay before a 30-20 home win against Detroit just before the break, averaging 31 points during the winning streak. Houston is coming off a 24-21 road win a Jacksonville, but the team has been dominated in total yardage in each of its last three games. Houston has the league's worst passing attack with an average of 187.3 yards per game, and Brock Osweiler threw for only 99 yards against the Jags and has registered only a total of 416 passing yards through his last three games. The Raiders Derek Carr is a machine and has a fantastic 17-3 TD/INT ratio on the season, numbers that can be compared with Osweiler's 11/9 ratio. Oakland can not only hurt teams through the air, but running back Latavius Murray is also a factor and he rambled for 114 yards and three scores in his last game. The Texans have a pretty clear advantage on the defensive side of the ball, but I expect the Raiders to generate enough offense to run away with this game. I expect a BIG OAKLAND WIN, and I'm backing up my words with a BIG BET.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Arizona Cardinals Rating: 10* The Minnesota Vikings opened the season with five straight wins. They've lost all momentum since their bye week though, losing four straight games outright despite entering each contest as a favorite and scoring just an average of 14 points per game during the skid. They host the Arizona Cardinals Sunday afternoon, and I expect a big win for the visitors. Arizona sits at a disappointing 4-4 record, but the Cardinals head into this contest with a 3-1-1 record in their last five games, outgaining three of their last four opponents by at least 160 yards. Arizona has a balanced offense behind the arm of Carson Palmer and the legs of David Johnson, and while Minnesota's D has received a lot of well deserved praise, keep in mind that Arizona has allowed fewer yards per game (311.8 yards vs. Minnesota's 326.4 yards). Minnesota has virtually no running game at all, and while QB Sam Bradford rarely gets picked off, he's not exactly a man known for his big plays either. Minny gave up 26 points and a total of 368 yards in a loss at Washington last week. I just don't see Vikings being able to compete with the Cardinals in their current state.

Top Rated 10* Thursday Night Football Saints/Panthers Play: New Orleans Saints Rating: 10* Two teams that cost us a large chunk of change with a pair of late hiccups last Sunday. I still like what I saw from the Saints in their loss to Denver better than Carolina's effort when it let a 14-point fourth-quarter lead evaporate in a 20-17 loss to Kansas City. The Saints beat the Panthers 41-38 on Oct.16, and I'm taking the points on the visitors here. The 3-6 Panthers are nowhere near as strong as they were last season, but the bookmakers are still asking them to ask spreads above the key numbers. While the Panthers are 2-6-1 ATS on the season, the Saints have often been underrated and are a solid 6-3 ATS which includes a 4-0 ATS record on the road. Drew Brees is having a terrific year under center and is NFL second-best with 2,992 yards, and he has a solid 24/7 TD/INT ratio. Carolina's Cam Newton has been underwhelming, throwing for 1994 yards, just 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Overall an edge for Carolina on the defensive side of the ball, but that didn't help the Panthers in the first game when Brees torched them for 465 yards and four touchdowns. We can also note that the Saints are a plus-2 in turnover ratio while the Panthers are minus-7 (fourth-worst in NFL). Saints are 4-1 ATS in their last five head-to-head meetings, and I'm looking for the Saints to cover the spread again Thursday night.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH Play: Dallas Cowboys Rating: 10* Not even the return of Ben Roethlisberger could end the Pittsburgh Steelers slide as they came up short for the third game in a row in a 21-14 loss at Baltimore last week. I think they're in for another tough game here against the surging Dallas Cowboys. Dallas is coming off a comfortable win as it defeated the woeful Browns 35-10. Dak Prescott is coming off yet another impressive game with three TDs and only six incompletions. The Cowboys are now 7-0 ATS in their last seven games, and while they have a great chance to win this game outright, why not take the points as a little insurance. Great value on Dallas here, and I'm firing a BIG BET against Big Ben.

Top Rated 10* CFB GAME OF THE WEEK Play: UCF Knights Rating: 10* The Cincinnati Bearcats have dropped four of their last five games straight up and they're just 2-7 ATS on the season. They visit the Central Florida Knights Saturday afternoon, and we should see a blowout win for the home team. UCF is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games (7-2 ATS on the season) and dominated Tulane in a 37-6 victory last week. The Knights held the opposing QB to just 68 yards on 5-for-21 passing and they scored three defensive touchdowns. The Bearcats fell 20-3 against BYU on the same day, and I don't see them scoring much here either. UCF needs one more win to become bowl-eligible, and I think the Knights will win this game easy against a Cincy team that is 1-6 ATS in its last seven vs. a team with a winning record.

Top Rated 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK Play: New York Jets Rating: 10* The New York Jets are coming off back-to-back wins as they came from behind to beat the Browns 31-28 last week. The Jets had great success running the ball and Ryan Fitzpatrick had a solid game under center. They'll visit the Miami Dolphins Sunday afternoon, and I like the Jets to make it three on the bounce. They've won four of the last five meetings with their AFC East rival outright and they're 16-5 ATS in their last 21 meetings in Miami. Fitzpatrick threw four touchdown passes in a 38-20 victory in the last meeting. The Dolphins are also looking to make it three consecutive wins as they're coming off a bye week. They've defeated the Bills and the Steelers in recent weeks, which are indeed pretty impressive results. The bye week might have come at a bad time though interrupting the momentum, and this is a classic letdown spot for the Fins. Jets are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 vs. AFC East while the Dolphins are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 vs. division rivals. Miami could very well win this game outright, but by more than a field goal? I don't think so, and I'm putting in a BIG wager on the Jets.

Top Rated 10* NFL SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Play: Dallas Cowboys Rating: 10* The Dallas Cowboys will host NFC East rivals the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night football. This looks like an excellent spot to back the home team IMO. The Eagles are coming off an upset against the Vikings as they handed Minny its first defeat of the season. Can they follow it up here in Dallas? I think it sets up a let down spot here against a Cowboys team riding a five-game winning streak and coming off a bye week. Philly is perfect at home but 1-2 SU and ATS on the road. Teams are struggling to figure out how to stop Dallas' rookie duo Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, and I don't think the Eagles will have any success either.

NFL AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: New England Patriots Rating: 10* EASY play on the New England Patriots here. Huge revenge spot after a 16-0 home loss to the Buffalo Bills on October 2. They've since defeated Cleveland (33-13) on the road, Cincinnati (35-17) at home and Pittsburgh (27-16) on the road last week. Buffalo had won four straight prior to a 28-25 loss at Miami last week. Patriots are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 meetings in Buffalo, and Bill Belichick will have his team fired up for this game. The Bills won't stand a chance ...

Top Rated 10* NFL BIG HITTER Play: New England Patriots Rating: 10* The New England Patriots were close to unstoppable with Tom Brady out, and they've looked even better with him back under center. The Patriots are coming off back-to-back wins against Cleveland and Cincinnati by a total of 38 points, and now they'll take on a banged up Pittsburgh Steelers team which will have to do without injured QB Ben Rothlisberger for a while. With 394.8 points allowed per game, the Steelers' defense ranks 28th in the NFL and this is arguably a team that needs its offense to bail out the D. That seems like mission impossible with Big Ben out. The Pats are 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings in Pittsburgh, and I expect the visitors to win by a healthy margin.

Top Rated 10* Super Early NFL Giants/Rams at London Play: New York Giants Rating: 10* The New York Giants are 7-0 ATS in their last seven meetings with the LA Rams, and this looks like a good spot to back the Giants when the two teams clash at Twickenham Stadium across the pond. Both teams have split their first six games of the season, but the Rams are coming off back-to-back losses to Buffalo and Detroit while the Giants have some momentum after a 27-23 upset against the Ravens last Sunday. The Giants rank 3rd in the league in passing offense, and say what you want about Eli Manning, he moves the chains on a regular basis. Manning was picked off twice in last week's win, but he made up for it with 32-for-46 passing for a total of 403 yards and three scores, two of them to Odell Beckham Jr. who exploded for 222 yards after a slow start to the season. The Rams have a respectable D, but they rank 28th in both rushing and passing offense. I don't think they'll be able to keep up with the Giants high-powered offense here.

College Football GAME OF THE WEEK Play: North Carolina Tar Heels Rating: 10* The North Carolina Tar Heels have won six straight meetings since 2010 and they're 5-1 ATS in those games. UNC is a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS in its three road games on the season and won 20-13 as a 6-point underdog at Miami (Fla.) last week. The Virginia Cavaliers are having trouble stopping opponents and suffered a 45-31 setback at home against Pittsburgh last week. Pitt torched them for 209 yards on the ground and that could spell trouble here facing a UNC team that knows how to run.

*Mike's Sunday Night AFC SOUTH GAME OF THE YEAR* Colts/Texans Play: Houston Texans Rating:** 10* This looks like a GREAT spot to back the Houston Texans as they host AFC South rivals Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football. The Colts are coming off a 29-23 win against the lowly Bears, but they're still looking for their first road win this season and are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games last year included. The Houston Texans need a quick bounce back after an embarrassing 31-13 loss at Minnesota last week, where we won with the Vikings as a free pick. The Texans struggled to solve the Vikings' top rated D, but here they'll come up against a Colts secondary that's 28th in the league in passing yards allowed per game. Even Brock Osweiler should be able to throw plenty of touchdown passes against it, and I think we'll see an extremely lopsided affair in favor of the home team Sunday night.

Top Rated College Football BIG HITTER Play: Kansas State Wildcats Rating: 10* This looks like a good spot to back the Kansas State Wildcats as they're catching a ton of points at Big 12 rival Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. Oklahoma is just 1-4 ATS on the season and the lone time it covered the spread was a 52-46 shootout at TCU. Kansas State is coming off a 44-38 home win against TTU, but it failed to cover the spread as it closed as a 9.5-point favorite. Positive news is that KSU is 4-1 ATS in its last five games following a ATS loss and 11-5 ATS in its last 16 games following a straight up win. Oklahoma's offense has averaged a respectable 40.6 points per game on the season, but the Wildcats are conference best for fewest points conceded (17.6) and total yards (310.2) allowed per game. We also have the revenge factor after a 55-0 Sooners win at Kansas State last season. A blip on the radar, and highly unlikely to happen this Saturday afternoon.

*Top Rated 10 NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL BEST BET Play: Carolina Panthers Rating:** 10* Both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers head into this Monday Night Football clash with a 1-3 record. Carolina will have to do without Pro Bowl QB Cam Newton as he is in the NFL concussion protocol after getting banged up in last week's loss to Atlanta. Derek Anderson will replace Newton, and he went 17-of-23 passing for 172 yards with two TDs and two picks when he came in under center last week. Tampa Bay has dropped three in a row since a season-opening victory over the very same Falcons and they've been torched for a total of 104 points during their slide. The Bucs have covered the spread in just one of their last seven Monday night football games and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings with the Panthers. Carolina is 8-1 ATS off back-to-back SU/ATS losses, and I like the Panthers to rally behind their backup QB and bounce back with a win in this NFC South clash.

Top Rated 10* SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Play: Green Bay Packers Rating: 10* The Green Bay Packers are fresh off a bye week, a terrific spot for them as they're 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a week off. The New York Giants meanwhile suffered a 24-10 loss at Minnesota on Monday to fall to 2-2 on the season (0-3 ATS last three games). The Giants' secondary is banged up and they'll be without top cornerback Sam Shields (concussion) for this contest. Bad news as they'll come up against Aaron Rodgers who has seven touchdown passes and just one pick on the season. The Giants Eli Manning meanwhile has thrown for a lot of yards, but as many picks as TDs (4). It will be a very hostile environment at Lambeau Field, and I expect the home team to win and cover the spread in this NFC showdown.

Top Rated 10* NFL Non Conference GAME OF THE YEAR Play: Baltimore Ravens Rating: 10* We lost with the Baltimore Ravens last week when they came up short in a 28-27 home loss to Oakland. They're now tied with the Steelers at the top of the AFC North, both with a 3-1 record, and I expect a big bounce back game from the Ravens when taking on the Washington Redskins at M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore actually played decent football last week and outgained the Raiders by a total of 151 yards while allowing just 62 yards on the ground. The Redskins meanwhile are coming off a 31-20 win over Cleveland, but it was a real "inside-out" victory as they were outgained by 79 yards ... by the 0-4 Browns! Washington has been outgained by 50 yards or more in three of their four games on the season, and I think they'll run into plenty of trouble against the Ravens D that ranks fourth in total yards allowed. Kirk Cousins has six touchdown passes on the season, but three came last week against the lousy Browns and he has also tossed four picks on the season. Nah, this should be a blowout win for the Ravens, and I'm going BIG on this bet.

Top rated NFL AFTERNOON ASSASSIN Play: Carolina Panthers Rating: 10* The Carolina Panthers are at risk of starting the season with a 1-3 record. They suffered a 22-10 home loss to the Vikings as a hefty favorite in Week 3, but I like them to bounce back with a big game here against an NFC South foe. The 2-1 Atlanta Falcons rank first in the NFL in offense by scoring 34.7 points and gaining 448 yards per game, but they've faced some rather mediocre defenses. The Panthers D is allowing just 273.3 yards per game while Atlanta's is giving up 433 yards per game. Carolina has a good chance of keeping Matt Ryan quiet while I can see the Falcons having plenty of trouble with Cam Newton who'll be looking to rebound from a poor display against Minny. Then we have the motivational factor. A loss here would be devastating for the Panthers as it would put them in a very tough spot in the division. That's not something this Super Bowl finalist can afford to happen, and they won't.

Top Rated 10* CFB BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Miami Hurricanes Rating: 10* The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets managed just 124 total yardage in last week's 26-7 home loss to Clemson. It will be extremely tough to bounce back from that performance when they take on the Miami Hurricanes here in Week 5. Miami is coming off three consecutive wins (3-0 ATS) and won 45-10 as a mere 4.5-point favorite at Appalachian State on Sept. 17. They've had plenty of time to prepare for this game coming off a bye week and they've outscored their foes 153-23 through their first three games of the season. The D has been terrific and ranks second in FBS in total defense and No. 4 against the run. The Yellow Jackets are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home, the Hurricanes are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game.

Top Rated 10* NFL PRIMETIME BOOKIE BASHER Play: Dallas Cowboys Rating: 10* The Dallas Cowboys minus less than a touchdown at home on primetime versus the lowly Chicago Bears? Yes Please! The Cowboys are playing well even with Tony Romo out as Dak Prescott has slotted in perfectly under center. He's set an NFL record for the most passes without an interception (75) in a player's first two games. The Bears starting QB Jay Cutler on the other hand is both getting blasted by the media and enter the game banged up after leaving Monday's 29-14 home loss to Philly with an apparent thumb injury. He's not getting much help from his O-line either and was sacked three times in that defeat and the Bears as a team is averaging just 271 ypg. The Bears are not in the best shape defensively either with several defensive players questionable. The Bears are 1-6 ATS in their last seven following a loss of more than 14 points and 0-6 ATS in their last six in September. I don't like their chances here against a Dallas team strengthened by a 27-23 win as a 3.5-point dog at Washington last week.

Top Rated 10* NFL SUNDAY STEAMROLLER Play: Denver Broncos Rating: 10* The Denver Broncos have opened their title defending campaign with back-to-back wins against Carolina and Indianapolis. I like the Broncos to make it three in a row as they hit the road for the first time this season with a visit to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Denver outgained the Colts 400 yards to 253 last week, including 134 yards on the ground, and C.J. Anderson put in a shift on the ground with 74 yards on 20 carries and one touchdown. The Bengals does not have much of a running game and the team’s leading rusher, Jeremy Hill, has just 53 yards on 20 carries for the season. Denver's secondary should be able to pick off Andy Dalton a couple of times, and I don't think the Bengals will be the team to hand Denver its first loss of the season. The Broncos are 5-0 ATS in their last five September games and the Bengals are just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games.

Top Rated 10* CFB SHARP MONEY SMASHER* Play: South Florida Rating: 10* The South Florida Bulls are off to a 3-0 start for the first time since 2011. I like them to give the 2-1 Florida State Seminoles a fair fight on Saturday and perhaps even come out of the game with their perfect SU record intact. The Bulls are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine home games and they showed great character last week by digging out of an early 17-0 hole at Syracuse to win the game 45-20. They have a versatile offense and their ground attack is averaging 247 yards per game with 10 total TDs from four different players so far on the season. The Seminoles were schooled in a 63-20 defeat at Louisville last week, a game where they entered as just a 2-point underdog. Soulcrushing or motivating? I'm going with the former, and I think FSU will find it tough to bounce back with a win this week. Most of the tickets are coming in on the Seminoles, but the line has moved the other way making this my Top Rated 10* CFB SHARP MONEY SMASHER* of the week.

Top Rated Thursday Night Football Clemson/Georgia Tech Play: Georgia Tech + Rating: 10* The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will host third-ranked Clemson Tigers Thursday night, and I'm taking the points on the home team in this contest. Both teams have started the season with three consecutive wins. Georgia Tech did not impress in a 17-14 victory over Boston College in its season opener, but it has put up a total of 955 yards in lopsided wins over Mercer (35-10) and Vanderbilt (38-7) in its last two games. The Yellow Jackets are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Clemson destroyed South Carolina State 59-0 last week after opening the season with a pair of close wins against Auburn and Troy. The Tigers are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games. Clemson won last season's meeting 43-24 at home, and the home team has won each of the last seven meetings. The Yellow Jackets have won five straight matchups in Atlanta.

Top Rated NFL SUNDAY SLAUGHTER Play: New England Patriots Rating: 10* Tough opening schedule for the Miami Dolphins who lost 12-10 at Seattle in their season opener and head to Boston to take on the New England Patriots here in Week 2. The Dolphins produced just 222 yards of offense in their opening loss and points won't come easy here against Bill Belichick's Pats who defeated the Cardinals 23-21 on Sunday night, despite playing without not only Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, but also without three starting linemen. Brady is still suspended, but I expect Gronk to be back for this contest, and even if he's not I don't see the Pats having any trouble scoring with Jimmy Garoppolo stepping up under center with plenty of reliable targets out wide. Dolphins are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. Home team is 8-0 ATS in their last eight head-to-head meetings and this looks like a great spot to back the Pats to cover a touchdown.

Top Rated 10* NCAAF BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Southern Miss Rating: 10* The Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles will host the Troy Trojans in Week 3 of College Football action Saturday night. The Golden Eagles enter the game with a perfect 2-0 record and they're 1-0-1 against the spread in these contests. They're coming off a dominating performance against a weak Savannah State team last weekend when they won 56-0 as a 56 point favorite, and they're 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. The Trojans have a 1-1 record after coming up short in a 30-24 defeat to Clemson last week despite a heroic performance. They covered the massive 34.5-point spread, but are just 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS win. Let down spot here, and Southern Mississippi should prove to be far too strong of an opponent in this contest.

The Wildcats’ defense allowed an average of 14 points the last four games and they have a prolific ground attack which should give Tennessee plenty of headache.

I really like the Seahawks in this matchup, and when we can get them at less than a field goal, then it's a no brainer IMO. Sure, the Cardinals are the team sitting top of the division with a 6-2 record, but this is not a good spot for them. Both teams are coming off a bye-week, but Arizona is just 1-4 ATS in its last five games following a week off. The Seahawks defeated the Cowboys in a narrow 13-12 win on Nov. 1. They're 18-8-1 ATS in their last 27 games following a ATS loss and a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five games in Week 10. The Seahawks won the last meeting 35-6 on Dec. 21 in a game where Russell Wilson rushed for a score and threw for two others as Seattle amassed a franchise-record 596 yards. We might not see another blowout win like that tonight, but I sure expect the Seahawks to win and cover.

They're 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in November, and I like them to cover a TD today. The Giants are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games in Week 10 and 2-7 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. They're off a 32-18 win at Tampa Bay, but Eli Manning was just 26-of-40 for a total of 213 yards. He's thrown for 213 yards or fewer in four of the last six games, and I don't like his chances of coming up with a big game against the Pats top rated D here. New England's Tom Brady meanwhile came up just a yard shy of his sixth 300-yard game in last week's 27-10 win over Washington, and has thrown for 22 touchdowns versus only two interceptions and owns a league-best 113.5 passer rating for the season.

The Chargers will have to do without leading receiver Keenan Allen who was placed on season-ending injured reserve this week with a kidney injury suffered in Sunday's narrow loss at Baltimore. The Bears however will be without both RB Matt Forte and wide receiver Eddie Royal, both due to knee injuries. San Diego is 5-2 ATS in its last seven Monday games and has a reliable QB in Philipp Rivers who has thrown for more than 300 yards in five consecutive games. The Chargers lead the league with 423.2 total yards per game but are just around the middle of the pack with 23.9 points per contest. They should get on the board plenty tonight though against a Bears teamt that is giving up the fourth-most points per game at 28.9.

The Eagles lost 27-16 against Carolina two weeks ago but have had plenty of time to prepare for this game coming off a bye week. They're 7-1 ATS in their last eight games in November and I expect them to cover a field-goal here at Dallas, taking revenge for a 20-10 home loss to the Cowboys in Week 2.

10* NFL BIG HITTER Play: Cleveland Browns Rating: 10* The Cleveland Browns are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games while the Rams are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall. They're off a 26-23 home loss to the Broncos but won 33-30 at Baltimore their last away game. The Rams are off a bye week but lost 24-10 at Green Bay in Week 5. They're having trouble accumulating yards this season with just a 309.0 average per game and a lowly 16.8 points average. The Browns run defense may not be the best in the NFL but I still think they'll be able to outscore the Rams here.
10-25-15	Pittsburgh Steelers v. Kansas City Chiefs -2.5	Top	13-23	Win	100	26 h 29 m	Show
10* NFL GAME OF THE YEAR Play: Kansas City Chiefs Rating: 10* The Kansas City Chiefs are a pathetic 1-5 on the season and winless since they defeated Houston in Week 1. I like their chances of picking up a win when hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers here in Week 7 though. The Steelers are off back-to-back wins despite allowing the opposing QB to throw for more than 350 yards. Good news for the Chiefs Alex Smith who threw for just 181 yards last week but was 31-of-45 for 386 yards at Cincinnati the week before. Pittsburgh has both Ben Roethlisberger (knee) and Mike Vick (hamstring) banged up and is likely to go with Landry Jones behind center. I think the Steelers are at a massive disadvantage at the QB position and I don't think their running-game can bail them out here. Note that: - Steelers are 1-3-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. - Steelers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Kansas City. - Chiefs are off a 16-10 loss at Minnesota but they're 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game.

*10 NFL THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Seahawks@Niners Play: Seattle Seahawks Rating:** 10* A return to the Super Bowl seems unlikely for the Seattle Seahawks who have a lowly 2-4 record on the season, the same as the San Francisco 49ers team they're visiting Thursday night. The Seahawks are however 5-0 ATS in their last five Thursday games while the 49ers are 1-4 ATS in their last five, and I like the Seahawks in tonight's matchup. Their star running-back Marshawn Lynch was back in last week's 27-23 loss to the Panthers and tight end Jimmy Graham looked lively with eight receptions for 140 yards. The 49ers rely a lot on Colin Kaepernick who may be coming off his best game of the season when he threw for 340 yards and a pair of TDs in the 25-20 win against Baltimore Sunday, but he has struggled against the Seahawks with only three scoring passes versus nine interceptions. Seattle has won five of the past six matchups (playoffs included) and limited San Francisco to 10 points in sweeping the series last season. Note that: - 49ers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. - Seahawks are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. - Seahawks are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

10* NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Play: Pittsburgh Steelers Rating: 10* The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a 23-20 overtime loss to division rival Baltimore last week in their first game without injured Ben Roethlisberger. I expect them to do better here in Monday Night Football when visiting the San Diego Chargers who have plenty of injuries to their offensive line. Philip Rivers is not the best under pressure and will also have to do without wide receivers Stevie Johnson (hamstring) and Malcom Floyd (concussion) hurt who got hurt in last week's victory. The Steelers still have running back Le'Veon Bell who can win games on his own, and I think they can threaten to win this game outright even without Big Ben under center. Note that: - Chargers are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 vs. AFC. - Steelers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings.

10* NFL SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Play: New York Giants Rating: 10* The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Minnesota Vikings 20-3 in Week 1 but have lost three on the bounce since, being held to a total of 10 points over their last two. They'll face a New York Giants team coming off back-to-back wins and I like the G-men here in SNF. New York is allowing an NFL-best 69.8 rushing yards per contest while San Francisco has the second weakest running game with just 289.0 yards per game, Carlos Hyde has been limited to just 114 rushing yards during the team's three-game skid. The Giants have a solid QB in Eli Manning who has tossed seven touchdown passes in his last three weeks, including three scoring strikes in a 24-10 victory over Buffalo last Sunday. Note that: - 49ers are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. - Giants are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. - Favorite is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings. - 49ers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

*10 NFL Bears@Chiefs Play: Chicago Bears Rating:** 10* Both the Chicago Bears and the Kansas City Chiefs are coming into this game with a 1-3 record. The Bears are off a 22-20 win against Oakland and I think we're getting far too many points on Chicago here to pass up on. Kansas City has lost three straight and struggled defensively of late allowing an average of 446.5 total yards the last two games and it ranks 28th against the pass over the season. It allowed five sacks during a 36-21 loss at Cincinnati last week, upping its NFL-leading total to 19. The Bears meanwhile held the Raiders to 243 total yards last week and has a respectable 320.5 yards allowed per game over the season. Note that: - Underdog is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

*10 MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Lions@Seahawks - 9-2 NFL RUN! Play: Seattle Seahawks Rating:** 10* The Seattle Seahawks are off a dominant 26-0 win against the Bears last week and I like them to win big again here when hosting the Detroit Lions. The Lions are still looking for their first win and lost 24-12 at home against Denver last week. They were held to 290 yards in that game and QB Matthew Stafford has thrown as many interceptions (five) as touchdown passes on the season. It won't be any easier here against a Seattle team that has allowed opponents just 303.3 yards per game so far. Seattle could be without Marshawn Lynch who is dealgin with a hamstring injury but undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls rushed for 104 yards on 16 carries last week. QB Russell Wilson meanwhile found tight end Jimmy Graham with seven passes for 83 yards and a TD and is 4-0 with nine touchdowns and zero interceptions on Monday Night Football throughout his career. The Lions are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games in October. The Seahawks are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine Monday games and 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 home games.

*10 NFL LATE SHOW Cowboys@Saints Play: Dallas Cowboys Rating:** 10* The Dallas Cowboys have started the season 2-1 while the New Orleans Saints are still looking for their first win. The Saints have lost six straight at home while the Cowboys can establish a franchise record with 11 consecutive road victories with a win Sunday. The Saints QB Drew Brees has been nursing a bruised rotator cuff in his right shoulder and sat out last week's 27-22 loss to Carolina but is expected to be back here. In what condition though? The Cowboys will definitely be without their starting QB Tony Romo but backup Brandon Weeden fared well last week completing 22-of-26 passes for 232 yards. I'm quite happy to take the points on the Cowboys here as I expect them to win this one outright.

10* NCAAF DOG OF THE DAY Play: Texas Tech Rating: 10* The Texas Tech Red Raiders are averaging 53.8 points on the season and I think they'll keep this a closer game than the bookies seem to expect. They proved they can hang with the Big 12 teams last week when they almost upset TCU. Baylor Bears have a strong team but this is too many points for them to cover.
10-01-15	Baltimore Ravens v. Pittsburgh Steelers +3	Top	23-20	Push	0	36 h 23 m	Show
10* NFL THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Play: Pittsburgh Steelers Rating: 10* The Pittsburgh Steelers annihilated the 49ers 43-18 in their lone home-game on the season and I like them again Thursday night when hosting the Baltimore Ravens who have lost all three games so far. Sure, Big Ben will be a miss for the Steelers, but Michael Vick is no slouch either and guided the Steelers to a 12-6 win against the Rams last week. He has a reliable target in wideout Antonio Brown, who already has 29 receptions and is second in the league with 436 receiving yards, and a superb running back in Le'Veon Bell who can take off the pressure. The Steelers should not be a dog here, even without Big Ben, and I'm happy to take the points on a team with great prospects to win this one outright.

10* NFL MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL Play: Green Bay Packers Rating: 10* The Green Bay Packers are undefeated over their last nine at Lambeau and 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. They're coming into this game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a 2-0 record on the season and I expect them to win big tonight. KC has gone 18 consecutive games without a touchdown pass to a wide receiver and QB Alex Smith threw two INTs against Denver last week. The Packers defeated the Seahawks 27-17 last Sunday and Aaron Rodgers has five scoring passes versus zero interceptions.. Runningback Eddie Lacy exited last week's game with an ankle injury but returned to practice on a limited basis Friday and is likely to be back again. If not they still have James Starks who rushed for 95 yards on 20 carries against Seattle.

10* NFL BIG HITTER Play: Arizona Cardinals Rating: 10* The San Francisco 49ers are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and I think they'll struggle when visiting the Arizona Cardinals Sunday afternoon. The Cardinals are a superb 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games and have started the season with back-to-back wins. Carson Palmer is looking as sharp as ever and Arizona has won eight straight with the veteran at the helm.
09-26-15	TCU v. Texas Tech +7	Top	55-52	Win	100	55 h 20 m	Show
10* NCAAF TEXAS SHOWDOWN Play: Texas Tech Rating: 10* I like the Texas Tech's chances of recording an upset when hosting the TCU Horned Frogs Saturday. The home team is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings and the Horned Frogs are coming into this game unsettled with several key defensive players lost to injuries, leave of absence or arrest. Texas Tech's QB Patrick Mahomes II is playing well and has passed for 1,029 yards and nine touchdowns while being intercepted three times so far this season and has a reliable target in senior receiver Jakeem Grant who has a team-best 21 catches for 287 yards. Add Senior running back DeAndre Washington (287 yards) who is averaging an impressive eight yards per carry to the mix and you have an offense likely to cause plenty of trouble for TCU.
09-19-15	Rutgers v. Penn State -9	Top	3-28	Win	100	32 h 14 m	Show
10* NCAAF BIG HITTER Play: Penn State Nittany Lions Rating: 10* The Penn State Nittany Lions are coming in as a rather hefty favorite against the Rutger Scarelet Knights Saturday, but I expect them to cover this line with ease. Rutgers is a team in shambles with coach Kyle Flood suspended by the school for three games and six players suspended as well, among them Leonte Carroo, the school’s all-time receptions touchdown leader. Not optimal preparations for a team that lost 43-37 to the Cougars last week. Penn State meanwhile is off a 27-14 win against Buffalo Bulls. Freshman Saquon Barkley gained 115 rushing yards while Christian Hackenberg had a rather tough game behind center. I expect more from Hackenberg here as Rutgers passing coverage has been very weak so far, giving up 339 a game and on the positive side; The Nittany Lions offensive line that yielded 10 sacks in an opening 27-10 loss at Temple did not allow one against Buffalo.
