This may look like a big number here as Miami is a top 10 ranked team catching two touchdowns.  Miami has won and covered every game this season so they are getting respect.  Clemson so far has won but hasn't covered a game yet.  I just dont think they have been that interested because of the competition.  I think Clemson is well aware here of who they are playing and will be extremely focused.  This is the best team in football and I think they make a big time statement 

Both teams here in this game have a great defense.  Georgia was expected to but Tennessee has been a surprise on that side of the ball.  The can really shut down the Georgia running attack as they are only giving up 2.5 yards per carry.  Georgia is a run first type of team so that plays right into the Vols hands.  Also everyone will be back on Georgia after they destroyed Auburn.  I like the points here with the Vols. 

I like Missouri here in this matchup.  First they are being undervalued because they are 0-2.  Well, they have lost to Bama & Tennessee who aren't exactly bad teams.  In fact they are getting more points now this week @ home than they were last week @ Tennessee who is a better team.  LSU isn't a good team and dont let last week fool ya with them blowing out Vandy. 

I'm really big on Oklahoma here in this game.  The Sooners ave dropped 2 straight games now and this line should be a lot higher.  If this game were played two weeks Oklahoma would be laying over a TD no doubt.  Texas if you have watched them haven't been impressed at all especially on defense yet again.  I just dont believe this line is warranted at all here.  OU is by far better team with a better QB in Rattler. Lay the points and this line will go up.

I'm all over Texas AM here in this game.  I was against Florida last week in a winner and they didn't cover against South Carolina.  I also really like this spot for the Aggies coming off getting blown out vs Bama Jimbo should have his horses ready.  Florida is much improved offensively I will give them credit but this is a complete step up in competition.  Aggies haven't looked great I get it , but Florida's defense isn't lighting it up either.  This is the ultimate buy low spot here for the Aggies 

Grab this one now as well.  I had the Bills last week in a winner and will. back them again here.  They were just dominating the Rams up 28-3 then some. questionable calls and the Bills pulling their foot off the pedal lead to a crazy comeback but the Bills ended up covering.  The main thing is here is that the Raiders are banged up pretty bad with injuries on defense which they were already weak but losing several OL is a huge concern.  Buffalo is the real deal 

I'm doing this game early here.  I had the Panthers last week in a winner as they won SU as a 6.5 point dog vs the Chargers.   I think now they are getting too much respect.  They were +4 in turnovers and still couldn't pull away which is a concern on offense.  The Cardinals lost to the Lions but. the Cards were -3 in turnovers and still had a chance to win.  I just think this line makes zero sense based on the fact that the Raiders were -3 @ Carolina and won and covered and that was with a healthy McCaffrey.  You're telling me that the Cardinals are actually worse than Oakland considering that McCaffrey is out.  I'm not buying it.

I simply don't believe the Bucs are a TD good over a quality opponent especially with a quality defense like the Chargers have.  Tampa is getting some respect now because they have covered back to back games.  Well, last week they covered against the Broncos who are so banged up.  The week before was extremely lucky as Fournette housed a long run for them to cover against Carolina.  People are quick to forget that SD took the Chiefs down to the wire two weeks ago.  I simply dont think we have seen enough from Brady and company to be laying this amount.  Chargers are live here

I'm taking the Texans here in this game.  I think most will be scared as both teams here are 0-3.  The Texans however have played the toughest schedule in the league losing to the Ravens, Chiefs and Steelers.  Vikings have lost to Packers, Colts and Titans.  Vikings defense is so banged up right now and with the whole practice issue this week due to the cover I think that is a big red flag for them here.  This is a get right game for the Texans 

Let's take the Dolphins here tomorrow.  First, Seattle is in a tough spot here with the travel situation and also coming off back to back tough games  against Dallas and Patriots.  The Seahawks are just so injured especially on the defensive side of the ball you can't. trust them.  They weren't even good with the healthy players.  Miami and Fitzpatrick can move the ball on these guys and I like the extra time they have had here playing Thursday the previous week.  

Iowa St is a team that isn't getting any respect because everyone is remembering that week 1 performance as they lost outright to the Cajun Cajuns.  I think that creates some value here with Iowa St who has the best defense in the conference.  Also how can you trust this Oklahoma team as they have proven once again you can't trust them.  Iowa St is also allowing fans for the first time and this is a national TV night game which I love these situations.  

I will take Arkansas here in this game.  First, we are seeing a big time. overreaction in the line as Miss St we're 14.5 point dogs and won outright over LSU who looked flat out terrible.  I think this spot is. extremely hard. for them here given the fact they have a new coach in Leach and QB in Costello.  They are now fat and happy and roles are reversed here now with them laying more than they were getting which you rarely see especially given the fact both are conference games.  Arkansas was actually ahead at half of Georgia last week.  They had a bad 8 minute stretch there where the game was lost.  They showed me enough last week and given the situation I will gladly take all these points

Let's go with Vandy here this week.  If anyone watched LSU last week you saw how bad they were.  They were favored by 14.5 and had a major let down losing to Miss St giving up over 600 yards in the air.  I know Vandy isn't an exciting offense. but I worry about LSU and their confidence.  They lost a ton from last season and now start off with a devastating loss.  I want no part of them.  Vandy played very well last week vs an experienced Texas AM team losing by only 5.  Also worth noting was a 24 point dog to LSU last year, you mean to tell me this LSU team is only 4 points worse?  I'm not buying it

Florida I can't say I was. too impressed with last week.  Yes, they got the win and the cover but they have some issues on defense as they let Ole Miss rack up over 600 total yards.  They will get some love though because they are highly ranked.  I also think the look ahead next week with Texas AM plays a role here.  South Carolina played a hard fought game against a good Tennessee team and could have won despite being -2 in turnovers.  I think South Carolina will move the ball here get their points and can keep this well within the 18

This line has now crossed to a key number here and will glad take Missouri.   I just think Tennessee is getting to much credit for barely covering against South Carolina despite winning the turnover 2-0.  Im not convinced at all that Tennessee is to where they should be laying double digits.  Missouri did outscore Bama in the 2nd half so they have fight in them after being down big early.  This line last year was Missouri -2.5 have these teams really had a big change to warrant this line move?

The betting public will be all over the Chiefs here.  When you can grab points with someone like Mahomes and the reigning Super Bowl champs.  KC was extremely lucky to come away with a win Sunday afternoon against the Chargers and their rookie QB in Herbert.  Chargers outgunned the Chiefs by over 50 yards for the game.  I think the Ravens defense will be able to get after Mahomes just like the Chargers did.  I also have a lot of concerns regarding the. Chiefs defense as they are giving up 6.4 yards per play.  They have yet to face an offense like Lamar and company.  I think Baltimore runs up and down the field on them.

The Cowboys are worth a look here as now a lot of momentum has shifted with their crazy comeback against the Falcons. I know, their defense isn't very good at all and they are missing some key players but so is Seattle.  I had Seattle last week in a winner but had to sweat it out as New England and Cam had no problem moving it up and down the field.  Well, this Cowboys team has a ton of firepower on offense.  If all else fails this will set up for a perfect back door situation if we even need it.  I think Dallas is a live dog here.

Interesting game here.  The Panthers suffered a major blow losing their all everything in McCaffrey.  While you can't simply replace a player like that I do think we are getting some extreme value here.  The Panthers had the Bucs on the ropes and actually should have covered as Tampa housed a 50 yard run while just running out the clock.  Carolina also had a rough game with 4 turnovers so the fact they were even in it tells me they are better than people are giving them credit for.  I also think the betting public will be all over the Chargers because of last week as they took the Chiefs down to the wire.  I see this game being played a ton on the ground which means less possessions less big plays and ultimately a lower score keeping the dog alive here.  

This is just one of those weird lines to most.  The Bears are 2-0 and the Falcons are 0-2 yet Atlanta is favored by more than a FG.  Clearly they are telling you they don't believe at all in the Bears and their record.  I clearly dont either.  Bears should have lost week 1 to the Lions as Swift dropped a wide open TD with just seconds left.  Then the Bears get lucky and face the Giants as Barkley tore his ACL in the 2nd quarter yet they could barely pull away.  I think Atlanta has faced two of the best offenses in Seattle and Dallas in the NFC and the Bears won't pose as big of threat.  Atlanta really gave that game away @ Dallas as they were by far the better team.  If the Falcons have any chance at the post season they quite frankly can't lose this game.  I think Atlanta exposes this fraud team in the Bears

I'm going to take the Bills here in what I feel is a big discount.  This Buffalo team isn't getting any respect at all plain and simple.  Their offense with Allen right now is just lighting it up going for over 500 and 400 total yards in both games.  I'm not taking anything away from the Rams as they look improved and I did back them in week 1 against Dallas.  The Bills defense is legit here and will create plenty of pressure.  This is also back to back east coast road games for the Rams which is a difficult task for West coast teams.  

So we have the classic 2-0 team here vs the 0-2 team.  So many will hate on the. Texans and their coach in O'Brien and while I'm not a fan of him either I do think you can semi excuse them.  Look, they lost to the Chiefs and Ravens who IMO are the two best teams in the league so can you really fault them?  Also the Texans held Mahomes and Jackson to 380 yards passing combined.  Thats extremely impressive.  Throw in the fact that this team is desperate and I think we get a huge effort and the relief of competition should help them as well.  Steelers lets face it have faced the Giants and a banged up Bronco team.  

I'm actually surprised this line isn't a little higher.  NC St was a horrible team last season going 4-8 and only return a total of 12 starters.  I also think they are getting some respect because they did play last week and pulled a small upset over Wake Forest.  That doesn't convince me though.  Virginia Tech is a team that I have winning the Coastal.  VA Tech won 8 games last season and return 19 starters from that team.  3 of their 5 losses were by a one point score or less.  I think their defense controls this game making it very difficult for NC St to score.  I trust Fuente here. 

I think this is a big do or die year here for Muschamp and company.  I think the return of now Sophomore QB Hilinski is huge here.  They also will start a big time RB prospect in Lloyd who is a blue chip prospect.  He will definitely be a game changer.  I just think these two teams are fairly equal and Tennessee is getting too much respect.  The Vols always start slow just look at last season losing to Georgia St.  Sure, they turned it on at the end but they didn't beat any of big time significance.  I still think they have QB issues and I also dont trust Pruitt their head coach.  South Carolina will be much improved on both sides of the ball this season.

So Florida St looks sloppy two weeks ago and lay an egg against Georgia Tech.  I understand a little bit of line move in favor of Miami but in this type of rivalry game this is simply too many even if there was a home crowd advantage.  Everyone will be on Miami as they have covered back to back games and coming off a big road win on national TV.  I also think people are scared to back the Seminoles because their head coach Norvell won't be at the game which you can bet is playing into the line here.  I think this is one possession either way and will take the points. 

I'm not going to overreact to week 1 when Iowa St was flat and embarrassed themselves losing to UL Lafayette.  The Rajun Cajuns are more than a respectable non power 5 school.  I also trust Campbell and his crew to bounce back from that defeat.  Granted it's a bad loss but still the whole conference season is in front of them and I expect a big effort.  TCU lost a ton off a bad team that only won 5 games.  They only have 7 returning starters here which is a major concern.  

I will take Kentucky here in this game catching over a full TD.  This team won 8 games last season and finished the season winning 5 of their last six including a bowl victory and return 15 starters.  Their defense was a top 25 unit last season and you can expect them to pick that right back up.  The main reason though here is because Terry Wilson their QB and company facing a very inexperienced Auburn defense who only returns 4 starters and they weren't that great to begin with especially against the pass.  Bo Nix is a stud and they will rely on him but with only 3 on offense there are so many questions unanswered here.  I will gladly take Kentucky 

I really like the Raiders here tonight.  I'm just not sold on the Saints here at all especially seeing how the Bucs have looked which was their week 1 opponent.  Brady threw a pick 6 which ultimately was the deciding factor.  Brees IMO has a noodle arm now and just can't throw the ball down the field like he use too.  Throw now in the mix that Thomas is out tonight.  I also think the Raiders playing in Vegas is big even though no fans I still the energy will be high.  

I love the Seahawks here in this game.  I was on them last week vs Atlanta and they came through really controlling the whole game.  I think they are a legit Super Bowl contender especially coming from the NFC.  Wilson has weapons and that is a scary thing with him.  Atlanta did have some big plays but they also do that to a lot of teams with their stud WR's.  I am not putting anything into stock with what the Patriots did.  They covered vs Miami but Fitzpatrick was absolutely horrible and the fact Miami still had a chance to cover before another interception late in the end zone.  Cam's success came on the ground and that won't happen here against Seattle.  His days of making plays with his arm are over.  I think Seattle. rolls here

I like the Falcons here in this matchup.  First, I was against Dallas last Sunday night in a winner and McCarthy just doesn't do it for me.  The offense failed to do anything given all the talent they have.  Falcons came up short against Seattle but they did put up 500 yards of offense.  I think Ryan will expose their secondary here with Ridley and Jones.  Also Dallas suffered some big injuries here as well. Jarwin their TE done for the year, Vander Esch is out and so is starting OL Erving.  Simply to many points for Dallas to be laying here

I'm sorry but Pittsburgh has no business being more than TD favorite here over Denver.  So Denver played the team that was extremely hot and went to the AFC Championship last season and took them down to the wire with injuries on offense.  Pitt played a horrible Giants team and are getting too much respect from that performance.  Hamler and Sutton will be a go for Denver which they clearly missed at the WR position.  Pitt did nothing special but did cover so they will be getting some respect only because of that.

I had the Packers last weekend in a. winner vs this Vikings team.  The thing is though we are seeing a major over reaction in this line based on 1 week.  Vikings didn't look great and their defense had issues, but that was also Rodgers who they were facing.  Also, Vikings were the favorite in that game and now they are a dog to a worse team?  Did anyone else not see the Colts lose to the Jags?  I know boxscore wise the Colts should have won that game but now they lost Mack at RB which is huge. Vikings are the overall better team and I look for a bounce back game here. If Minshew can complete every pass but 1 surely Counsins can do pretty well

I believe this is simply the biggest overreaction to week 1 results.  The Eagles were up 17-0 on Washington and blew that lead and lost the game.  The look ahead line had the Eagles favored by a FG or a little more.  Based on one game they are now underdogs because the Rams beat Dallas which I do have the Rams.  Teams that go from the home underdog role to the road favorite really scare me when it's not really based on anything.

I'm grabbing the Niners here.  I simply think the Jets could quite frankly be the worst team in the league.  They just lost Bell at RB for now a few weeks and will have to rely on Darnold throwing the ball 40+ times especially here since they won't be able to run on this San Fran D at all.  I think that spells for a disaster here.   San Fran will also be extremely hungry here coming off a loss as a big favorite to the Cardinals who have their number.  I think this price is a bargain

I think we see a big regression here in this La Tech team.  They lost their 3 year starter and all conference QB in Smith who simply was their everything.  La Tech was a 10 win team and I just dont see how they can keep pace.  They also only have 2 starters back on defense which is a glaring concern.  Southern Miss on the other hand will have revenge on their mind from last season and returning 15 starters.  They didn't play well in their opening game but I do like the fact they at least have a game under their belt 

I think Marshall is a live dog here and actually would throw some on the ML as well.   was against App St last week playing Charlotte and that was an easy winner.  They were pretty sloppy with 3 turnovers on offense and gave up 4.9 yards per rush against a far less team than Marshall.  App St is still a household name and they will get the respect.  Marshall was favored by 26 and all they did was win 59-0!  Thats impressive to beat the number by that much I dont care who you are playing.  They held EKU to 166 total yards.  Take the points

I dont think Cuse is as bad as they showed last week.   We are definitely seeing an overreaction in the line as well considering Cuse was a 24 point dog to UNC who are ranked and considered the best team in the Coastal side.  I'm not going to let one game sway me here.  Cuse should be fired up after that performance as these teams are actually similar.  

I really like the Browns here tonight for a big bounce back tonight.  You honestly can't fault the Browns in week 1 as they lost to a very good team in the Ravens.  Many think they are the Super Bowl winner.  Well now the Benglas who also lost a heartbreaker because of the FG kicker now on a short road week with a rookie QB.  The Bengals have no where near the secondary that the Ravens did.  OBJ should have a big game.  I think the Browns can really create pressure and make it hard for the rookie QB to play from behind.

A lot of Cowboy love right now going on.  I just dont see it all honestly.  I think people are just hoping that McCarthy can turn it around but can he really?  Also why is Dallas favored here are they really that much better than the Rams?  Rams had a down year following a Super Bowl loss and that was to be expected.  Even though no fans they do open in their new stadium on prime time and I expect them to bring it and actually pull of the upset

I will take the Browns here this week.  I just think what happened last season to them was extremely humbling and they would love nothing more to come out and make a statement against one of the best teams in the league.  I do expect big things from Baker here in a bounce back season.  The Browns have major pieces across the board here and will be able to score no doubt about it.  Browns are 3-1 ATS last 4 meetings so clearly they get up for this meeting.  Ravens getting way too much respect here

The Dolphins have made quite the splash this off season with some moves.  I think they are going to be vastly improved especially in a division that is wide open IMO.  The Patriots have Cam now who really doesn't fit the system.  They just have so many question marks here with really no weapons and a lot of key players on defense choosing to sit out.  Patriots lay 7 in this spot is crazy to me

Lets go with the Packers here in this game.  Vikings have a very weak secondary which is never a good thing when facing one of the best QB's in the league.  Was the Packers 13-3 record last year a little fluky sure, but you you have to give them credit.  Vikings also lost Diggs and replace him with a rookie WR which is a lot to ask.  Vikings also have a huge home crowd advantage but that has been taking away 

I'm very high on this Seahakws team this season lead by Wilson.  This team was road warrior last year.  I love the addition of Adams to help their secondary big time.  Ryan is a QB that just continues to come up short.  I also think the addition of Gurley is a little overrated.  Wilson last 5 seasons as a road favorite is 20-8 SU.  He clearly shows up in this spot. 

Western Kentucky is no joke for a team that is non power 5.  They won 9 games last season and have high hopes this year as most are picking them to be the winner of C-USA.  They return a healthy nucelus here of 15 starters and 9 on defense.  Their D actually ranked top 25 in the country last season.  I'm not as high on Louisville as most are.  They do have plenty of returners back but I just don't see them being 2 TD's better here than WKU.  Louisville had major issues on D ranking 102 in the country.  I also think next week they could be looking ahead a little to ranked Miami coming to town

I think this line is just very high. Arkansas St has already been tested which I feel is a huge thing here.  They lost last week @ Memphis who is a very good team.  They covered the number and racked up over 400 yards of offense.  Kansas St hasn't even had one practice yet and they have to replace the whole OL.  While the Wildcats had a nice break though year last season, they lost a ton and I believe the lack off seeing what they have is just an uphill battle for a quality Arkansas St team.

I think this is simply too many here for App St to be laying.  They are a solid program not taking anything away from them but you are also paying a few extra points based on their name.  Charlotte racked up 41 points on them last season and actually outgained them in the game but turnovers were the difference.  Reynolds is now an upper class men QB for Charlotte and is arguably the best QB in the C-USA.  I think he can really keep this game close for the 49ers. 

This Miami team is one to keep an eye on this season.  I am extremely high on them especially with QB transfer King from Houston.  Their offense really struggled last season and I think this is the piece that can really put them over the edge here.  Their defense was top 15 in the country last season and they do return 5. 

I like the Niners here in this game.  I think this line continues to go up.  I know people are saying its hard to beat a team twice and that is true.  I just think San Fran is so much better than the Packers in every category.  The Niners defense will have no problem holding Rodgers in check here.  I also think the betting public will look at this game with Rodgers and grab the TD or more simply because it's him.  Niners win fairly easily 

Georgia is having players sit out here in this game and so the only question that needs to be asked is if they are interested in playing this game tonight.  I know Coach Smart is saying all the right things, but I don't think the players really care as they fell short of the playoff by losing to LSU in the SEC Title game.  Baylor on the other hand definitely has the motivation angle.  Georgia true passing team they faced was LSU and they got torched.  I think Baylor can light them up as well

I think most will actually grab the Ducks here in this game.  The Badgers will control the clock here in this game and lets face it, Oregon took advantage of a bad PAC 12 conference this season.  I think the Badgers will be able to wear them down in the trenches big time and Taylor should have a field day.  This Wisky team had no problem putting up over 400 total yards vs Ohio St in the Big Ten Title Game.

I feel bad for Ohio St honestly.  They go all season just routing everyone and now have to play the defending champs.  Sure, the ACC is down but Clemson shouldn't have been penalized for that.  This team brought it week after week when they clearly could have went through the motions.  Dabo will have therm ready as they feel disrepsceted here.  The Ohio St offense hasn't seen a D like this

I got no problem laying this big number here at all.  LSU should be able to name their score and keep the punter on the sidelines here.  This Oklahoma defense is no good and to add to it, they have injuries across the board.  I think Burrow and company make another huge statement 

This game is pure motivation.  Do you think Notre Dame really wants to be here playing Iowa St a team they aren't familiar at all?  I think Campbell knows the importance of this game for his young Iowa St squad.  They are bringing way more fans down here for this game as well.  Both teams have a solid defense.  I think the difference will be Purdy, the Iowa St QB making some big time throws

The Rams really showed some heart last week bouncing back from that brutal loss to the Ravens on Monday Night Football.  They dominated Arizona which was very impressive.  I think this is a good spot to go against the Seahawks here. Rams outplayed them in the first meeting, but fell short losing by 1.  They get revenge tomorrow night

This is now a ton of respect for the Titans.  If this game were played two weeks ago the Raiders would easily have been -3.  Now, the Raiders coming off a couple down performances everyone is quickly off them, but they still are well alive for a wildcard spot.  Yes, the Titans have played better, but the win over the Chiefs was fluky and last week was a little mis leading as the blocked FG returned for a TD changed the complexion late.  

The Texans here are simply getting too much respect IMO.  They are coming off a National Televised game in beating the New England Patriots so clearly the books inflate these lines big time when this situation presents itself.  Denver is still playing hard and the evidence was last week in a gutsy win.  Not saying they win here but can cover this big number

I like the Saints here.  Everyone seems to be high on the Niners since they gave Baltimore a great game last week.  Well, a lot of that was because of the weather conditions which kept the game on the ground.  San Fran is a great D, but they also haven't faced this air attack either.  Brees and company have a field day 

Let's take the Bills here as they are the team that won't get any respect.  All season so far we have heard how easy their schedule is.  Do we ever there about the Patriots when people are talking about them?  Give the Bills some credit here.  This is a another huge opportunity here for them and quite frankly I think they rise and play well.  The Ravens are off an emotional big game vs the Niners.  Bills have a legit home field advantage and this is too many points

I'm gonna lay the massive number here with Clemson.  This Virginia team is a solid team don't get me wrong but the ACC as a whole is down big time.  Perkins the Virginia QB is very inconsistent here and that is scary when facing the Clemson defense.  I do believe the Tigers will get one defensive TD and with Virginia playing catch up, they aren't simply built for that.  Dabo also doesn't have a problem putting the hammer down on teams.

I just think this LSU team is a whole different animal in itself this season.  Burrough and company I think will light them up.  Georgia's secondary numbers are good don't get me wrong but they also haven't played really any teams with an extreme passing attack.  LSU will want to do a number on them here and won't have a problem.  Also teams with good defenses have held the Bulldogs in check scoring around the 17-23 mark.  They will need more than that if they plan on covering which I don't think they will do

Baylor blew that first meeting in Waco and you know they will be out for some big time revenge here in this game.  I think Oklahoma has been extremely lucky this season as they have dogged several late game heroics including the Baylor game.  This Oklahoma defense isn't anything special at all.  

Does it get any better with Andy Reid off the bye?  The simple answer is no as he is the best in the league off the bye week.  The Raiders last week got gashed by the Jets and you think it will get any better with a healthy Mahomes now?  I think the Chiefs are sitting on a monster offensive game here and have their way

I can't believe this line has flipped so much here.  Odds maker are saying that the Bucs would be nearly a double digit favorite at home while last week alone the Jags were just +3 on the road to to the Titans.  Foles will be back home and should be more comfortable now.  This is a major overreaction here.

Browns are hot right now and responding when their back are against the wall.  I know this is a public side, but with all the injuries and QB switching for Pitt I think they are in trouble. The Browns rush D has been lights out the last 5 weeks and now with Hodges at QB I don't his arm can beat them

This might be the public dog of the week, but I also think this is an overreaction here as well to the Ravens.  They are coming off a Monday night blowout over the Rams where Lamar became the clear front runner for MVP.  I just really think this Niner defense is the real deal here.  I'm not saying they shut Lamar down, but they can contain the overall run game.  Plus, the weather isn't going to be great either and wouldn't be shocked to see this line drop a couple points in the morning

The Bengals don't wanna go winless no team does.  With that being said I think we get major effort from them knowing that for them this is a winnable game.  Dalton is backcourts at QB which will provide a spark no doubt.  Jets getting a ton of respect here, but the Redskins, Giants and Raiders are exactly anything to brag about

While this is a rivalry, I still find a hard time seeing how much motivation Iowa will have here.  Yes, Nebraska is down this season we all know that, but this game is to make a bowl game so we know the effort will be here.  Nebraska nearly won @ Iowa last season.  I don't think this Iowa team is very good so let's take the points here in this game

Yes, Virginia Tech is playing well, but so is Virginia here and I can't believe that this line has flipped so much in favor ofd the Hokies.  This game is to play Clemson for the ACC Title plus Virginia has big time revenge on their minds here.  Virginia Tech was only favored by 3.5 @ home vs Pitt and now are laying nearly the same on the road against a better team and a rival? I don't get the line move lets to Virginia 

You may ask yourself why is a 4-7 team favored over a team that is 1st place on their side of the conference.  Well, Miami Oh has zero motivation plain and simple as they have already locked in a spot to play for the MAC Title.  I also wouldn't be surprised to see them. rest some players as well.  Ball St could have easily represented the other side of this division.  They lost their last 3 games by a combined 8 points.  

I'm going to lay it here with the Cowboys.  The Bills I had last week in an easy winner, but you just have to think the whole schedule part is going to catch up to them.  I also think the line here clearly tells a story.  Cowboys honestly should have won @ the Patriots last week and if you took a quick glance at the box score you probably would have guessed that they would have been on top.  Dallas in a prime spot here to make a statement and I think they respond

This Duke right now isn't a team I want to back.  Their offense has been non existent the last 4 games.  It's hard to question where their head is at right now coming off a brutal loss to Cure losing by 43 as an 8.5 point favorite.  Wake is coming off two tough losses @ Va Tech and @ Clemson and this seems like a nice bounce back spot for them here

I like this Temple team as I backed them a few times this season.  The key here is that Temple still has a shot to play for the conference title.  In order to do so, they need to beat Cincy and have them lose next week @ Memphis which is possible.  So we know the effort will for sure be there.  This is too many points for this caliber of game.

This will be an all out game here I truly believe for this UNLV squad.  This will be the final game ever in Sam Boyd stadium and they are bringing all the big Tim alumni back for this one.  This will also be the final home game for Coach Sanchez as he will be fired at the end of the season so I think they will respond here with a major effort.  San Jose drummed the Rebels last season and UNLV was a 1 point favorite.  I really like the situation here for UNLV to get the upset

I will take the Bruins here who are playing well again on the 2nd half of the season.  I know last week they were blown out, but that game was very misleading if you were following it.  This is obviously a huge rivalry game and UCLA will need this game in order to make a bowl game.  I don't think USC is honestly that much better and Chip will have his guys ready

So I know the angle for Georgia here will be style points for the committee.  Though we have to ask ourselves is this team really that good?  I think this line is definitely inflated base on last weeks results with them winning @ Auburn despite being outgained there.  The Aggies defense is playing very well right now and Jimbo I do trust here in this spot.  He will have his teams and keep this within two scores

This play here on Texas is really against Baylor in this spot.  Baylor is coming off the ultimate dream crusher loss last weekend as they blew a big lead against Oklahoma to ruin their perfect season and knock them out of the playoff contention.  This is such a hard spot for Baylor to bounce back from.  Herman we all know how good he is in the underdog role.  He is looking for a big time win too end the season here and I think he gets one.

I like Illinois here as they are one of the most improved teams in the Power 5 this season.  This team is going to a bowl game and playing with a ton of confidence right now.  They have won 4 straight 2 being on the road and one of those was over the undefeated Badgers at that time.  I also think this isn't a great spot for Iowa here as they took down the Gophers last week handing them their first loss.  Iowa also has a big look ahead game with Nebraska being on deck.  This is a classic sandwich game.

This line has crossed some serious numbers.  The Patriots always get a lot of love.  While I'm not a fan of going against them and rarely do, I like the situation here to do so even though they are of their bye week.  The Patriots have faced to easier schedule known to man so far and their toughest opponent shocker they lost on the road SU to the Ravens.  Eagles have all the weapons here and I think are prime for a big win but at least. can cover this number

I grabbed a bad number here, but lets lay it anyway.  The Bengals made the switch to Finley last week at QB and well they got the doors blown off them by the Ravens.  I think this team is in give up mode now.  Oakland has been the nice surprise this season and I think they put their foot down here and roll the Bengals 

Weird line here as the look ahead was actually lower than and following last weeks results they actually made the line higher which is the opposite.  Public will still want nothing to do with the Bucs here in this game, but I think we get a big effort and wouldn't be shocked to see another upset

I really like the Panthers here in this spot.  The Falcons I had last week as they pulled a big upset as a 13 point dog and beat the Saints outright.  I think it's tough to follow that up here.  The Panther have two losses the last 7 games and that is at @ SanFran and @ Grenn Bay, two of the better teams in the league.  Let's no hold that against them plus they were in the Packer game with a chance to tie it last week.  Odds makers are saying Carolina is only a 1 point favorite on a neutral? I'm not buying it

I had the Vikings last week in a nice winner +3 over the Cowboys on Sunday night football.  I dont think the motivation will be there today for them in this spot.  I also like that after the QB change for Denver Allen got his first win beating the Browns but then had a bye now and I think the effort will be there for Denver.  They will keep this close

UNLV is coming off their bye week and I think most know that the coach is getting fired by now.  I think we see a really good effort from them coming down the stretch with winnable games such as this one.  San Jose St really moved the ball on Hawaii and I don't trust them laying this many on the road.  UNLV will put up some points and I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the upset

I think Texas will be the huge public dog this week.  This Iowa St team is the real deal as I had them last week and it came down to a 2 point conversion in which Iowa St failed to take down Oklahoma. Iowa St has the better defense, better QB, better coach here and this a just a must win a nice bounce back spot for them.  Texas I had last week in a loser and really was disappointed as they came out flat in a great spot against Kansas St.  

I like Ga Tech here in this matchup.  The Hokies are coming off 3 straight big time games beating UNC by 2 in a thriller, followed by that big time performance @ Notre Dame and then the huge upset win over ranked Wake Forest last week.  This is the let down spot this week and Ga Tech is still playing hard this season.  I see this game being a lot closer than what most might think

I like this Florida team here in this game and don't feel the line drop is worthy here.  The reason it's coming down is because Kelly Bryant is coming back for Missouri, but several questions are still left out there.  Is he actually 100% and did this time off even help him?  It's not like he was lifting it on fire when he was playing.  Missouri offense have scored 21 total points the last 3 games.  Florida D will chew them up here.

This is one of the worst spots you can ask for here.  TCU I had them last week in a losing effort but was totally the right side as they blew that game against Baylor and lost in triple OT.  TCU has to be deflated from that showing and am shocked they are actually favored given the spot.  Texas Tech is still bowl hungry and are coming off a great showing on the road last week @ West Virginia and think they win this one outright

I don't think Nebraska and company under Frost will be throwing in the towel this season and now with them coming off the bye I think we are going to see a huge effort here in order to get the win.  Wisconsin knows they just need to win the game and that's it period.  I know the Cornhuskers are 1-8 ATS but clearly no one wants them, but I think this spot you need to back them
