12-21-15 | Western Kentucky v. South Florida +3 | 45-35 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This year USF scored 51 touchdowns, 15 more than in the last two seasons combined! In their last three starts – versus Temple, Cincinnati, and hapless UCF – the 9-3 Bulls erupted for 1572 yards (968 rushing) and 153 points. Red Shirt frosh QB Quinton Flowers, a cornerstone of Taggart’s strong 2014 recruiting class, was a difference-maker. This game finds Taggart matched against his alma mater and the team that he coached from 2009 to 2012. He recruited many of the WKU players, notably Doughty. The crowd will be heavily tilted toward USF fans.  Bulls wound up on 7-1 SU and 8-1 ATS runs (+115½ points ATS) |

12-20-15 | Cardinals -3.5 v. Eagles | Top | 40-17 | Win | 100 | 27 h 29 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NFL Play of the Day Seven straight wins for the Cards, who were saved when vet Freeney forced Minny fumble in final 0:05. No question that Arizona plays its best ball on the road (32-19 points per game edge), and not about to go into late swoon after last years disastrous finish (without Palmer, who is now at 4,003 yards and 31 touchdowns with only 9 interceptions). Eagles 6-2 SU when Bradford starts and finishes, but no Philly touchdowns in final 40:38 versus Buffalo. Kelly is 2-10 ATS off 2 wins, and 1-8 ATS versus the NFC West. And Eagles are 0-9 ATS off 2 SU/ATS wins versus non-division. |
|||||||
12-20-15 | Browns v. Seahawks -14.5 | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Finally. Has Manziel come into his own, with 21-of-13 showing as Browns snapped 7-game losing streak, in 24-10 rout of San Francisco, with 230-71 rushing yard edge? Entered that one with 190-75 point deficit in prior 7 contests. Well, the joy is short-lived, as truly mighty Seahawks are now on another level. Four straight wins and covers (73-13 point edge past 2 weeks and 141-61 past 4), with Wilson a brilliant 16 touchdown with 0 interceptions over that span, accompanied by a 651-176 rushing yard edge. Seahawks 9-1 ATS off double digit non-division cover. |
|||||||
12-20-15 | Packers -3 v. Raiders | 30-20 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Packers handily defeated both the Vikings and Chiefs. Rodgers can exploit Oakland’s defense that ranked 25th in both yards and points allowed through this past Sunday. The Raiders rate among the bottom five teams in pass defense. Oakland is improved under Jack Del Rio, but is at least a year away from serious playoff contention. The Packers have made the playoffs six consecutive years. It’s a long trip to the West Coast for Green Bay, but the focus and professionalism should be there. The Packers know they can’t afford to slip since they play the Cardinals on the road next week before closing the regular season against the Vikings |
|||||||
12-20-15 | Bills -2 v. Redskins | 25-35 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Twenty-four years ago, these 2 met in SuperBowl XXVI. A pair of 6-7 squads, with the Bills in dire straits in Wild Card chase (2 back), while the Redskins are tied atop the NFC East. Washington in off its 1st road win of the season (had dropped 7 straight away), and allowed just 14, 14, and 19 points in L3 home games. Bills' held Philadekphia without a touchdown over final 40:38 last week, and Taylor a fine 18 touchdowns with 5 interceptions. Buffalo is 6-0 ATS versus Washington, and 6-1-1 in 2nd of 2 road games |
|||||||
12-20-15 | Panthers -3.5 v. Giants | 38-35 | Loss | -109 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Truly a spectacular season for the perfect Panthers, who waltzed through their latest rout versus hapless Falcons, 38-0, with another 3 toudhdowns and 0 interceptions from Cam and 5 sacks of Ryan. Thus far, they've outrushed 12-of-13 opponents. So now on an 18-0 regular season SU run, topping 26 points in their last 11 games. Hopeful Giants in Carolina, Minny, Philly windup, but taking on this squad off a Monday Night affair not the best of setups. Ten years ago, Carolina came in here, and destroyed the Giants, 23-0, in the playoffs. Ditto |
|||||||
12-19-15 | BYU +2.5 v. Utah | 28-35 | Loss | -104 | 25 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This contest not only matches a pair of long-time opponents, who last met in '13, but 2 squads steeped in bowl tradition. For the Utes of Utah, this makes it 12 bowls in 15 years, and since '06, they stand at 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS in holiday contests, and that includes 4 outright upsets in the 5 times they were pegged as underdogs. A seamless transition from Meyer (Urban), to Wittingham in '05. This season, Utah received nary a vote in our opening issue "Polls" column, following a pair or 5-7 campaigns (1-5 windup in '14), but found itself ranked 3rd in the nation, due to a 6-0 start which included an unprecedented 62-20 road win over mighty Oregon, with 273 rushing yards and 257 passing yards. However, it came crashing down with a 4-TO loss to Southern California, an OT loss at Arizona, and a follow-up week setback to Ucla. So a current #20 spot in the polls, with an unexceptional offense or defense. Â QB Wilson a miserable 13 touchdowns with 10 interceptions for the season, with the dog covering the Utes' last 5 games (3 upsets in their final 4 games). For the 2nd straight season, the Cougars of BYU (11th straight bowl year) have seen their leader and Heisman hopeful, QB Hill out with a season-ending injury (game #1 this year), and so went the Cougars hopes. But the insertion of frosh QB Mangum produced immediate returns, tossing 42-yard "Hail Mary" touchdown pass on opening game's final play to take snake-bit Nebraska, 33-28, following that up with shocking 35-24 upset of Boise (2 touchdowns in final 0:45: 35-yard Mangum pass and pick-6). But blew 10-point 4th quarter lead at Ucla and were shutout at Michigan. But a 7-1 windup (3-3 ATS) with a 103-38 point edge in its final 2 games has landed Byu here. Mangum is the first Cougar frosh QB to top 3,000 passing yards (3,062: 21/7). Not much overland support, but Byu just gets it done. |
|||||||
12-17-15 | Bucs +2 v. Rams | 23-31 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sixteen years ago, these 2 met for the NFL Title. Five-game slide of Rams is now history, taking the iffy Lions behind another 140 Gurley rushing yard (8.8 yards per rush), and 203 rushing yards overall. Quite a difference from failing to top 94 rushing yards the previous 4 games, and being held below 14 points on 7 occasions this year. Despite loss to Saints, note the Bucs with 676-167 rushing yard edge in their last 4 games (Martin: 1,241 yards). Doug Martin ranks second in the league with 1,214 rushing yards and third in the NFC with 1,413 yards from scrimmage. The 26-year-old has recorded six touchdowns in his last 10 games, including five on the ground. Winston is the third rookie quarterback in league history to eclipse the 3,000-yard mark. The visitor is 19-10 ATS in Tampa games, while the Rams are just 1-7 ATS Thursdays. |
|||||||
12-13-15 | Patriots -3 v. Texans | 27-6 | Win | 100 | 30 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Pats on their first 2-game losing streak since '12. Hardly seems possible. Tom just 3 touchdowns with 2 interceptions in loss to Philladelphia (has 31 touchdowns with 6 interceptions for the season), which saw New England allow 35 unanswered points, including TDs on blocked punt, 99-yard Interception return, and 83-yard punt return. But 27-15 first down and 427-248 yard edges over the Eagles, so still dynamite. Texans' 4-game run ended late at Buffalo. Â The Patriots are going to get their points because they have the leaders to put them in the right situations. The Texans have just a lone playmaker on offense, DeAndre Hopkins. Their ground attack is pedestrian at best and Hoyer is incapable of trading points with Brady. The Patriots defense received a huge boost with the return of linebacker Jamie Collins, who was leading the team in tackles before missing four games due to illness |
|||||||
12-13-15 | Lions -3 v. Rams | 14-21 | Loss | -120 | 23 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rams might be missing star cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who suffered a concussion last Sunday. Before falling to Green Bay, Detroit had reeled off three consecutive victories beating the Packers, Raiders and Eagles. The Rams are 1-7 out of division. St. Louis’ pass rush has tailed off recording only six sacks in its last five games. Robert Quinn has been out. The Lions’ run defense has stiffened holding foes to less than 60 yards on the ground during the last four weeks. That’s key because of the Rams’ heavy reliance on Todd Gurley. Detroit has one of the sharper defensive coordinators in Teryl Austin. The Lions are used to playing indoors, too. |
|||||||
12-13-15 | Bills +1 v. Eagles | 20-23 | Loss | -102 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Eagles snapped 3-game slide last week versus Pats despite 27-15 first down and 427-248 yard deficits. Touchdowns on blocked punt, 99-yard pick-6, and 83-yard punt return. Nice work, if you can get it. But can't ignore a defense which has allowed 39.3 points per game the last 3 weeks, and 27+ points 5-of-last-6 games, as well as Pat/Card sandwich. Bills' Taylor keeping it going (3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions versus Houston, and now 17 touchdowns 4 interceptions for the year), with 40-yard touchdown pass in final 1:53 versus smoking Texans. And check another 112 rushing yards from McCoy. Dog is 9-4-2 ATS in Buffalo games, and I feel the wrong team is favored. |
|||||||
12-13-15 | Titans v. Jets -7 | 8-30 | Win | 100 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
Ratng: 2 Units Titans in off snapping 11-game home losing streak, in narrow 42-39 win over the Jags, with 2 touchdowns in a 0:44 stretch of the 4th (87-yard Mariotta run and a fumble return). Tennessee not the most consistent of squads, being held below 15 points on 7 occasions, but at 34.4 points per game in their other 5. In revenge/Patriot sandwich here, and Jets a team on the rise, following listless 5-game stretch. Two straight wins, behind Fitzpatrick's 6 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, along with leagues' 3rd best defense. New York is 7-2 ATS versus Tennessee, and Titans 0-11 ATS off scoring at least 28 points. |
|||||||
12-13-15 | Falcons v. Panthers -7.5 | Top | 0-38 | Win | 100 | 23 h 31 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFL Game of the Week The perfect Panthers stand at 12-0 SU this year, and 16-0 SU in regular season play, behind 2nd best defense in the league, and Newton's leadership (5 touchdowns with 1 interception last week and now 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this year). Missed spread last week via pair of botched PATs and 2-point runback off failed 2-point try (497-334 yard edge) versus Saints. For Falcons, it all continues. Five straight losses (last 1:39 at Tampa), and now at 6-6 SU, after 5-0 start, and a horrid 0-8 ATS run (-58 points). |
|||||||
12-10-15 | Vikings v. Cardinals -10 | 20-23 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These 2 may very well see each other in January. Would you believe that the mighty Cards haven't covered at home since Sept? No questioning their worth, ranking 1st and 4th in total offense and defense, and in off 29-9 first down, 524-212 total yards pasting of Rams. Six straight wins, but just 3-3 ATS. Palmer now at 29 touchdowns with 9 interceptions and 3,693 yards. Minnesota in off worst home loss since '84 (433-125 yard deficit in 38-7 setback to Seahawks). Arizona 10-1 ATS in December versus opponents off a double digit SU loss. Â |
|||||||
12-06-15 | Panthers -6.5 v. Saints | Top | 41-38 | Loss | -104 | 17 h 38 m | Show |
Rating: 5 Unit NFL Game of the Month Talk about opposite directions! The Saints are in off their 1st no-TD showing in 155 games, with Brees TDless for first time in 46 games. New Orleans on 0-3-1 ATS slide (-61½ points), and 6-12-1 ATS since '14. Panthers, of course, are perfect: 11-0 SU, 9-2 ATS TY, & 11-3 since last year, with their only misses by 3½, 3½, 2½ points. Have topped 26 points in their last 9 games, are +16 turn overs. That defebse is superb, while Cam and mates should feast on Saints horrid stop unit (NFL's worst). And Carolina 11-3 ATS as series visitor |
|||||||
12-06-15 | Broncos -4 v. Chargers | 17-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Finally. Chargers snapped 6-game slide, with upset of 4-7 Jacksonville, as Rivers a perfect 4 touchdowns with 0 interceptions (now with 23 touchdwns and8 inteceptions, with 3,511 passing yards). But San Diego has outrushed just one team since its opener, and certainly won't do much versus Bronco defense, which game up 39 rushing yards in comeback win over previously unbeaten Patriots. No Manning for Denver, but Oswelier 3 touchdowns with 1 interception since taking over, overcoming 21-7 deficit in 4th last week (Anderson: 113 rushing yards). Started with Tebow, but Denver is 14-0 SU on division road, and San Diego 2-12 ATS as division host. |
|||||||
12-06-15 | Chiefs -3 v. Raiders | Top | 34-20 | Win | 106 | 16 h 23 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFL Game of the Week Talk about streaky. Chiefs came from 9-1 ATS run, to 3-9, to current 5-0 (+89 pts). Five straight wins, with 761 rushing yards, and a 14/0 turnover advantage. They have a 62-16 point edge in their 2 division road games so far, with vastly improved Raiders victim #3. The dog is 7-3 ATS in Oakland games, with the only misses by a mere 1½, 4, & 2 points. Carr's touchdown pass in final 1:21 versus Titans snapped 3-game Oakland slide, but note the Raiders losing their last home game by 19 points ATS. Chiefs 9-3 ATS as series guests |
|||||||
12-06-15 | Cardinals -4.5 v. Rams | 27-3 | Win | 100 | 3 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No question, as to which of these 2 has the better squad, as the high-flying Cards have huge edges in all categories, most noteworthy their 1st-rated offense, with the Rams coming in at 31st, behind only the Niners. Five straight Arizona wins, and 4 straight St. Louis losses. Ariens 7-2 ATS off SU win versus a less than .500 opponent. |
|||||||
12-05-15 | North Carolina +5 v. Clemson | 37-45 | Loss | -105 | 49 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fifteen straight wins for the Tigers, and eleven straight for the Tar Heels. But Clemson hasn't been as dominant recently, not truly impressive since 58-0 stomping of Miami. But 14th on offense and 7th on defense. Watson with 27 touchdowns and 10 interceptions (3 rushing yards last week). North Carolina's Williams and Hood: 18 touchdowns with 8 interceptions and 107 rushing yards per game, and 'Heels have outplayed all opponents but Georgia Tech  (4 yards). Despite a somewhat questionable defense. |
|||||||
12-05-15 | Michigan State -3.5 v. Iowa | 16-13 | Loss | -100 | 49 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Michigan State would be undefeated too if not for a fluky 39-38 setback at Nebraska. Last week, in a prime let down spot, the Spartans dispatched Penn State with ease, winning 55-16. A major story line was the play of the offensive line, a unit that was beset by injuries earlier in the season. It didn’t allow a sack. And while Penn State was without their most disruptive defender, DE Carl Nassib, that was still quite an accomplishment considering that Penn State entered the contest leading the nation in sacks. In his post-game comments, MSU HC Mark Dantanio referenced the Ohio State Buckeyes of 2014 when he noted that his club was peaking at the right time. Iowa QB C.J. Beathard is very good, but MSU counterpart Connor Cook, a three-year co-captain, has aged like fine wine. |
|||||||
12-05-15 | Southern Miss +8 v. Western Kentucky | 28-45 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Could be classic barn burner. The Eagles' Mullens at 330 passing yards per game with 35 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, and Southern Miss has a 374-205 point edge in its last 9 games, covering their last 3 road games by 105 points. 'Toppers' Doughty at 349 passing yards per game with 42 touchdown and 6 interceptions, and Western Kentucky ranks 6th, 4th, 10th in passing, scoring, total offense, and at 44.2 points per game in last 11 games. But Southern  Miss has the defensive edges. |
|||||||
12-05-15 | Temple v. Houston -5.5 | 13-24 | Win | 100 | 41 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units - Combined 23-3 record for these 2 exceptional squads. Coogs have topped 32 points in all but 1 game, their only loss, due mainly to 4 Â turn overs. Check 27 first downs and 555 yards (1 punt) versus Navy (22-point cover). Owls a nice 58-15 point windup versus Memphis and U Conn (+32 points ATS), after South Florida debacle. But were nailed for 326 rushing yards in that Bull loss. This a host call. |
|||||||
11-29-15 | Saints v. Texans -3 | 6-24 | Win | 100 | 24 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Three straight wins for the Texans, sharing the top rung of the AFC South with the Colts. Yates for Hoyer is paying dividends. Two TD tosses vs the Jets, with the defense snagging a late pair of interceptions to preserve latest win. Check allowing only 9.7 points per game in Texans' L3 games, and that includes putting the clamps on the Bengals, who are at 29 points per game. Saint is nearing invisibility, allowing 43.3 points per game in their L3 games, which more than offsets any Brees efforts. New Orleans is 0-6 ATS 2nd of 2 road games. That won't change |
|||||||
11-29-15 | Dolphins v. Jets -3.5 | 20-38 | Win | 100 | 23 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A pair of slumping squads meet here, with the Jets's 4-1 start evolving into today's 5-5 mark (0-4 ATS, by 38 points), and with the Dolphins posting a 112-58 point deficit in their last 4 games. A 22-9 first down deficit in Miami's 24-14 home loss, nd check a eye-popping 181-63 point deficit in Dolphins' last 6 division road games. Fitzpatrick still not up to par for Jets, tossing a pair of late picks in loss to Houston. But that New York defense still ranks among the best (#4), and 1st versus the run. Revenge play for Fish, but 0-6 ATS away in that role |
|||||||
11-29-15 | Raiders v. Titans +1.5 | 24-21 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Perhaps it’s a leap of faith to put the Titans in this preferred category. They have dropped 10 in a row at home. Realize, though, only one of those home defeats occurred under new coach Mike Malarkey’s watch. Both of these teams are improved with extremely promising young quarterbacks. The Raiders, however, have too much against them. Oakland is 1-17 SU, 7-11 ATS the last 18 times playing the Eastern Time Zone. The Raiders are further hindered by an early start time. This marks their second straight road game and third in four weeks. The Titans have extra rest since they last played on Thursday. Oakland is 6-21 ATS as a favorite. |
|||||||
11-29-15 | Vikings +1 v. Falcons | Top | 20-10 | Win | 100 | 24 h 46 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFL Game of the Week Current Falcon futility continues. Opened at 4-0 (+42 points ATS), but just the reverse since, going 2-4 SU and 0-6 versus the points (-43½ pts). And Ryan, who has been remarkably steady, was responsible for 3 of Atlanta's 4 second half turnovers in blowing a pair of 14-point leads versus the Colts. The Vikings had their confidence shaken a bit with 30-13 loss to the Packers, but are still +44½ points ATS in their last 9 games. Minny is 7-1 ATS off a division game, and a superb 19-4 ATS versus non-division opponents. I'll grab this dog |
|||||||
11-29-15 | Bucs +3 v. Colts | Top | 12-25 | Loss | -115 | 24 h 30 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NFL Play of the Day Now that's what I call a statement. Tampa Bay QB Winston tied a rookie record with 5 touchdown passes in 45-17 rout of a decent Philly squad, with Martin contributing 235 rushing yards just for good measure. Indianapolis is going it without Luck, with Hasselbeck leading a 17-0 windup versus the Falcons. So a field goal favorite here. Well, the underdog has covered ALL TEN Colt games this season, and Tampa is 13-0 ATS as a road underdog off reaching 28+ points. Underdog call here! |
|||||||
11-28-15 | Nevada v. San Diego State -17 | 14-31 | Push | 0 | 104 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week Seven straight wins and covers for the Aztecs (+140 points ATS), with an 86-17 point edge in last 2 home games (+50 points ATS). Nevada is 22nd in rushing offense, but San Diego State is 5th in rushing defense. San Diego State keeps it going |
|||||||
11-28-15 | Air Force -9.5 v. New Mexico | 35-47 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Five straight wins for Air Force, with 1,788 rushing yards, as expected. But check an unexpected 271 and 279 passing yards from Roberts the last 2 weeks. Double-edged sword. Nearly 3 straight upsets from New Mexico: +48½ points ATS versus Utah State, Boise, and Colorado State (13th in rushing, but 97th total defense). |
|||||||
11-28-15 | North Carolina -5.5 v. NC State | Top | 45-34 | Win | 100 | 97 h 48 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit ACC Game of the Week Ten straight wins for North Carolina +108½ points ATS in their last 8 games. They blew a 14-point lead in the final 3:00 at Virginia Tech, but won in overtime.  NC State highly respectable 7-4 SU, but the fact is that they've played nobody (last 3 wins versus 3-8, 3-8, 3-8 squads). The favorite is 8-2 ATS in NC State games. |
|||||||
11-28-15 | Alabama -13.5 v. Auburn | Top | 29-13 | Win | 100 | 97 h 40 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit SEC Game of the Week "Iron Bowl". Tigers bowl eligible, but on a 2-12 ATS run. Note allowing 26 first downs and 479 yards to 3-8 Idaho, and ranking 87th on offense. Won't do much with 3rd-ranked Alabama defense, which has held 8-of-11 opponents under 18 points. And check Jones with 3 punt returns for touchdowns the past 2 games. Alabama in an easy one. |
|||||||
11-27-15 | Kent State v. Akron -9.5 | 0-20 | Win | 100 | 69 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Call similar score to Zip romp of Buffalo, as balanced offense, behind Woodson (4 touchdowns with 0 interceptions last week), has them at 6-5 SU. Kent looking for an offense: #127, #126 in scoring, total. A 166-53 point their deficit last 3 (-58½ points ATS) |
|||||||
11-27-15 | Navy -3 v. Houston | Top | 31-52 | Loss | -112 | 40 h 47 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NCAAF Play of the Day  Bye-bye to perfect season for Houston, who came from 256 rushing yards per game to 110 in loss to U Conn. A bit gimpy at QB, but still 12th in rush defense. So Navy won't run on that unit, right? Wrong. Winner to AAC title game, and Navy at 348 rushing yards per game, behind Reynolds' leadership (418.5 per game last 4 games) |
|||||||
11-23-15 | Bills v. Patriots -7 | 13-20 | Push | 0 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Patriots have owned the Bills defeating them 22 of the last 24 times, including 40-32 in Week 2. That game wasn’t nearly as close as the final score with the Patriots coasting after building a 37-13 lead. Tom Brady threw for 466 yards and three scores against the Bills in the first meeting. Injuries, schminjuries. Edelman gets replaced by Amendola, the Patriots pick off the Bills’ defensive backs, LeGarrette Blount gashes the Buffalo defensive front, and the Patriots – laying only single digits in a place where they hardly ever lose.  |
|||||||
11-22-15 | 49ers v. Seahawks -13 | 13-29 | Win | 100 | 21 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The line would be higher with Blaine Gabbert starting if the 49ers didn’t pull off an upset of the Falcons in their previous game. So laying double-digits doesn’t bother us. Seattle has owned San Francisco the past nine games going 8-0-1 ATS. The 49ers haven’t broken the 20-point barrier once during these games. The Seahawks have held San Francisco to an average of 10.8 points during this span. The 49ers have managed a total of 13 points in their last three meetings with Seattle. Seattle totally dominated San Francisco in Week 7 winning, 20-3, while holding the 49ers to 142 yards of total offense. That was the fewest yards the 49ers gained in nine years. San Francisco has just eight touchdowns on offense in its last seven games. |
|||||||
11-22-15 | Chiefs -3 v. Chargers | 33-3 | Win | 100 | 21 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Andy Reid hasn’t allowed the Chiefs to quit as they’ve won three in a row beating the Steelers, Lions and Broncos by a combined margin of 97-36. San Diego entered its bye last week down three offensive line starters, key members of their defense and star wide receiver Keenan Allen. The mental hurt is rough, too, as the Chargers have lost five consecutive games. San Diego’s only victories have been against the Lions and Browns – combined record of 4-15 - by a total of eight points. |
|||||||
11-22-15 | Rams v. Ravens -2.5 | 13-16 | Win | 100 | 18 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Yet another 4 turn overs for Baltimore, in last 0:00 loss to Jacksonville (53-yard field goal off personal foul penalty). Now minus 11 for the season, in that all important category. Note that 7 of the Ravens' last 8 games have been decided by less than 6 points SU. Rams came from an 870-464 rushing yard edge in previous 5 games, to 153-94 yard deficit in 31-point ATS loss to Chicago. Streaky, so Baltimore call. |

11-22-15 | Broncos -1 v. Bears | 17-15 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Unit NFL Play of the Day Fox takes on team he led to 4 straight AFC West titles. Absolutely sad watching a gimpy Peyton trying to recapture golden years. In off the worst performance of his career, managing just 5-of-20 passes for 35 yards, with 4 picks and 2 sacks. Now a horrid 9 touchdowns with 17 interceptions for the season. So 2 straight losses for the Broncos, on the heels of that brilliant throttling of the Packers. The Bears are suddenly a force, with Cutler tossing for 603 yards with 5 touchdowns and only 1 interception in upsets of Chargers and Rams (+38 points ATS). And note Jay tossing an 87-yard toucdown pass versus St. Louis, the longest Bear touchdown pass since 1960. Yet another upset for the taking. |

11-22-15 | Cowboys -1 v. Dolphins | 24-14 | Win | 100 | 18 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Second straight road game in Florida for the Cowboys, and 2nd consecutive NFC East game for the Dolphins. Romo has been given the green light, and that can only be a huge plus for this struggling squad which has dropped 7 straight, their most since '89. However, 5 of those 7 losses have come by a touchdown or less, so won't need complete overhaul to compete, and note Cassel 44-of-68 the past 2 weeks. Dolphin defense stepped to the fore in 20-19 win over Philly, despite a 33-19 first down deficit, along with a 436-289 yard shortage Dallas hasn't reached 30 poits in its last 10 games, but that'll change |
|||||||
11-21-15 | Colorado v. Washington State -14.5 | 3-27 | Win | 100 | 77 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Seven straight covers for Washington State (+92 points ATS), behind Falk: 407 passing yards per game, with 35 touchdowns and 8 interctions. Took Ucla in final 0:03. Buffs nearly took Usc (led 17-3), but just 71 rushing yards per game the last 2 weeks, and are hurting at QB |

11-21-15 | San Diego State -16 v. UNLV | Top | 52-14 | Win | 100 | 77 h 49 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week The Aztecs are super hot. Six straight wins and covers (+118 points ATS), with Price and Pumphrey: 292 rushing yards versus Wyoming. Won't be contained by hopeful UNLV's  109th-rated defense. Add that to the fact that the visitor is 12-3 ATS in Vegas games |

11-21-15 | Michigan State v. Ohio State -13 | 17-14 | Loss | -110 | 69 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Recent brilliant Spartan defenses not so this season, ranking 45th. Just 16 first downs and 262 yards versus Maryland, covering by just 2 points. Bucks now 48-3 SU. Elliott continues as best in the land, and note Ohio State ranking 2nd and 9th in scoring and total defense. |

11-21-15 | Old Dominion v. Southern Miss -21 | Top | 31-56 | Win | 100 | 70 h 38 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NCAAF Play of the Day The Eagles have a 175-43 point edge their last 4 games, and +103 points ATS this year. AB Mullens had 5 touchdowns with 0 interceptions last week and had 30 touchdowns with 7 interceptions this year. Â ODU a 296-167 point deficit in their last 9 games, ranking #101 and #103 in scoring and total defense. |

11-21-15 | Michigan v. Penn State +4 | Top | 28-16 | Loss | -108 | 66 h 14 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Big-10 Game of the Week Michigan defensive mystique about vanished (27.5 points per game in their last 4). Needed all of Rudock's 440 passing yards and 6 touchdowns to take Indy in OT. Home team is 6-0 ATS in Penn State Big-10 games and the they covered their last home game by 35 points |
|||||||
11-15-15 | Cardinals +3 v. Seahawks | 39-32 | Win | 100 | 27 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The outcome of this one could go a long way in determining the true power in the NFC West and you know that the Cards have been waiting for this all year. No question that that Seahawk defense is fast approaching its stellar heights, allowing only 15 points, 22 first downs, and 362 yards combined in its L2 games. But Wilson is just 9 touchdowns and 6 interceptions, with 31 sacks. Not the case with Palmer, who is at 20 touchdoens and 6 interceptions for the season, with 11 sacks. The Cardinals rank 10th, 4th, 2nd and 3rd in run, pass, scoring and total offense, as well as 5th, 5th, 6th, and 4th, in run, pass, scoring and total defense. Â Arizona is 6-2, including 3-1 on the road. The Cardinals have covered in 12 of their last 17 road matchups |
|||||||
11-15-15 | Jaguars +5 v. Ravens | 22-20 | Win | 100 | 19 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Well, this one is just a matter of mathematics, as the Ravens have won just 2 games, both by 3 points (in OT and on the final play), and they are favored here by about 5. Just 2 Baltimore covers so far, by ½ and 1 point, while the underdog is a profitable 13-2-1 when the Ravens take the field. Thirteen straight road losses for the Jags, who covered at the Jets in the final 2:16, despite a 4-0 turn over deficit. But note holding New York to just 14 first downs and 29 rushing yeards, and Bortles a highly respectable 17 touchdowns with 10 interceptions for the season. No, the Jaguars are not about to snap their road miseries, but have been very competitive recently. |
|||||||
11-15-15 | Dolphins v. Eagles -5.5 | 20-19 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Quite a change for the Dolphins in their 4 games under Campbell. In their first 2, they held an 82-36 point edge, with a 428-134 rushing yard advantage. But in their 2 games since that fabulous start, they are on the wrong of a 69-24 point margin, with a 361-121 rushing yard deficit. Contrast that with the Eagles' 172.5 rushing yards per game in their last 4 games. The underdog has come from a 9-0 ATS run in Philly games, to 0-4, and with this being its first home game since Oct 19, I can't see any change in that recent trend. Miami -34½ points ATS in its L2 road games. |
|||||||
11-15-15 | Panthers -4 v. Titans | 27-10 | Win | 100 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The return of Marcus Mariota and new coach Mike Mularkey breathed life into the moribund Titans as they upset the Saints on the road. Ending Carolina’s 12-game regular season winning streak is a whole different matter. The Panthers are a perfect example of the sum being greater than their parts. Cam Newton has taken the offense on his back on pace to throw for 3,640 yards, rush for 686 yards and produce 38 total touchdowns. He should be in the talk for MVP. Even with their victory against New Orleans, the Titans are 2-16 SU in their last 18 games. They were averaging nine points during their past four games before knocking off the Saints. |
|||||||
11-15-15 | Saints +1 v. Redskins | Top | 14-47 | Loss | -101 | 22 h 56 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFL Game of the Week Redskins in middle of Patriot, Saint, Panther, Giant run, so it doesn't get any easier for 3-5 outfit, which ranks 25th on offense. That 210-yard deficit at New England was fully expected in light of the unrelenting machine that the Pats represent. But note a 748-172 Redskin rushing yard deficit over their last 4 games. Ripe for the plucking. Saints in off OT loss, despite another 387 passing yards with 3 touchdowns and 1 interceptions from Drew who now has 898 passing yards with 10 touchdowns and 2 interceptions the past 2 weeks. They have amassed 66 first downs in those 2 games.  Blowouts have become a near norm for the Redskins. They’ve lost 10 games by 17 or more points during the last two and one-half seasons. Historically November is a brutal month for Washington. The Redskins have dropped 20 of their last 27 games during the month, including going 0-4 last November. |

11-14-15 | Washington State +10.5 v. UCLA | 31-27 | Win | 100 | 72 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Scoreboard lighter! Bruins finally got it together in 41-0 romper over Oregon State, with 33-12 first down and 674-246 yard edges (Rosen: 333 passing yards, with 2 touchdowns with 0 interceptions). Six straight covers for Coogs (+78 points), with 30+ points in 13-of-15 lined games, behind Falk's nation-best 415 passing yards per game with 33 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Washington State owns the series. |

11-14-15 | Alabama -7.5 v. Mississippi State | 31-6 | Win | 100 | 67 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week - Incredible defense! Alabama just man handled Lsu's 309 rushing yards per game ofense, allowing just 54 (Fournette: 1.6 yards per rush). While Henry racked up 210 rushing yards. That marked the only home cover in Alabama games this year. Prescott again is doing his thing (10 touchdowns last 2 weeks), and at 41 points per game in their last 4 games. But not versus this defense |
|||||||
11-14-15 | Miami (Fla) v. North Carolina -12 | 21-59 | Win | 100 | 67 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 4 Unit ACC Game of the Week Seems improbable that Miami is 6-3 SU, as it's rarely, if ever, is impressive. Check 91-45 first down deficit in their last 3 games (106-57 point deficit). Just the opposite with 8-1 North Caroling, who've gotten 71, 32, 89, 74, 49, and 12 yard touchdown passes from Williams over the last 2 weeks. North Carolina +85½ points ATS in their last 6 games |

Rating: 3 Unit NCAAF Play of the Day The Cardinals hadn't won a lined game all year, by more than 7 points, until last weeks 41-17 rout of Syracuse (34 unanswered points). Despite that, visitor is still 12-4 ATS in Louisville contests. Virginia a 360-287 running yard edge combined over Georgia Tech and Miami (covered versus 'Canes in final 0:35). The Undog is 17-9-1 ATS in Virginia games |

11-14-15 | Texas v. West Virginia -8.5 | 20-38 | Win | 100 | 61 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units First West Virginia win since Sept, but no cover versus Texas Tech. They own the #20 run offense (Smallwood #14). Texas had 299 rushing yards, 299 passing yards versus Kansas, but the home team has a 156-36 point edge in last 4 home games (+75 points ATS) |
|||||||
11-09-15 | Bears +4.5 v. Chargers | 22-19 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No love lost between Jay Cutler and Phillip Rivers, back when Cutler was at Denver. Fox faces his former offensive coordinator at Denver, in McCoy, so plenty of sidebars for this meeting. The Chargers are an underachieving lot, as they rank 1st in the NFL on offense, but have dropped 4 straight on the field, as well as 5-of-7 ATS, with their 2 covers by just 3½ and ½ pt. As a matter of fact, their only other cover came by 2½ points. Chicago's last 4 games have been decided by 2, 1, 3, 3 points SU, and the Chargers have a 107-72 first down deficit in their last 4 games (-32½ ATS). |

11-08-15 | Broncos -5 v. Colts | Top | 24-27 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 36 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Play of the Day Peyton Manning returns to his former home once again. What a defense the Broncos displayed in rout of splendid Packers, with a 500-140 yd edge, neutralizing Rodgers, in the process. Now at 7-0 for the 1st time since '98, when they upset the Packers in the SuperBowl. Catching Colts off their Monday Nighter with Carolina is a definite plus, as is the revenge motive for last years 24-13 home playoff loss to Inddianapolit. the Underdog is 7-0 ATS in Colt games this year and Andrew is 2-0 versus Peyton. But Denver is 6-0 ATS off a SU underdog win, while Indy is 1-10 ATS at home versus a non-division opponent who is off a SU and ATS win. |

11-08-15 | Falcons -7 v. 49ers | 16-17 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rating: 2 Units Let's see: 20-point cover; 6½-point loss; 7-point cover; 11-point loss. What is that all about? Answer: results of this years Niner home games. No doubt that San Francisco is completely lost on the road (40-17 point per game deficit), but is a 50/50 shot in Levi's Stadium. Check 47-9 point deficit in their last 2 outings, along with 37-19 first down and 373-99 rushing yard shortages. Niners rank last in the NFL on offense and 2nd-worst on defense. Kaepernick has 6 touchdowns with 5 interceptions and 25 sacks. |
|||||||
11-08-15 | Giants v. Bucs +3 | 32-18 | Loss | -120 | 28 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units First home game for the Bucs since Oct 11th. Tampa in off blowing another solid lead (20-3 in 3rd vesus Atlanta), before finally prevailing, 23-20, in OT (10-point cover). So three straight ATS wins for the Bucs, while averaging 30.3 points per game. A special 6 TD passes from Eli last week (no picks) in epic 52-49 loss at New Orleans. Tight score, of course, but check 36-28 and 614-416 yard deficits. NewYork is in a New Orleans/New England sandwich here, but had better not look in either direction. Giants are 1-9 ATS versus an opponent off SU division win. Bucs have a decided edge in most stat columns |
|||||||
11-08-15 | Raiders v. Steelers -4.5 | 35-38 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Steelers’ defense is very underrated. Pittsburgh has surrendered an average of 16.3 points in regulation during its last six games. The Steelers have held the Bengals, Patriots, Cardinals and Rams to their lowest point totals of the season. Cincinnati, which came into the game with the third-most potent offense, could manage only 16 points and 296 yards against Pittsburgh. Oakland no longer is a soft touch. The Raiders are traveling East for an early start time following their most impressive win of the year. That’s a vulnerable combination. The Raiders have lost 23 of their last 27 road contests. Worse, they are 1-15 SU, 6-10 ATS when playing in the Eastern Time Zone. |
|||||||
11-08-15 | Titans v. Saints -7.5 | 34-28 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brees coming into this one after throwing seven touchdowns (ties an NFL record), and for 511 yards (40-of-50),versus the Giants. New Orleans still needed a 50-yard Forbath field goal at the gun for its 52-49 win (spread push). So the Saints are on 4-1-1 ATS run (+24½ points in their last 3). School still out for Titans, who anxiously await the word on Mariota. Six straight losses, along with 10 turnovers in their last 5 games. Before Tennessee's 20-6 loss to the Texans, the dog was 5-0-1 ATS in Titan games, by 80 points, with 3-of-4 losses by just 2 3, and 3 points SU. But Tennessee is 1-9 ATS in the 2nd of 2 road games |

They are -62½ points ATS this year, and rank 84th, 125th, 117th, 115th in run, pass, scoring, total defense. Th Underdog is 13-4-1 ATS in California games. I call the upset here. |

Rating: 4 Unit NCAAF Game of the Week Return of QB Browning paid instant dividends for the Huskies (263 passing yards with 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions), in 41-point cover versus Arizona. Washington is now +94 points ATS in their L8 lined games. Just 60-yard edge for Utah in 11-point ATS loss versus Oregon State. Rank 75th on offense, with QB Wilson only with 10 touchdowns with 7 interceptions for the season. Plus they lost their last road game 42-24. |

Rating: 2 Units Are the Badgers on their way, with return of Clement, who had nice 10.5 yards per rush in rout of Rutgers? Maybe, but note Maryland with a 408-158 rushing yard edge over Penn State amd Iowa. Three straight covers. Upset? |

11-07-15 | Central Florida v. Tulsa -16.5 | 30-45 | Loss | -106 | 88 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units The Knights (0-9) are playing out the string. At -110½ points ATS this year, with nation's worst rushing, scoring, and total offense. Tulsa in search of a defense, but rank 9th on offense. At 4-4, and aren't about to let this get away. |
|||||||
11-07-15 | Vanderbilt v. Florida -21 | 7-9 | Loss | -103 | 88 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units They just keep on doing it. Gators 7-1 SU, and +70½ points ATS in their last 4 games, coming from 55 rushing yards (Lsu) to 258 (Ga). More impressive by the week. Vanderbilt defensive mystique shredded in wipeout loss to Houston. Still own 22nd best defense, but scoring just 10.1 points per game in 15-of-16 lined games |
|||||||
11-06-15 | Temple -12.5 v. SMU | 60-40 | Win | 100 | 72 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Only question here, of course, is can Temple bounce back after last 2:09 loss to Notre Dame? A 172-yard deficit, but field 9th best scoring defense. Contrast that to SMU giving up 47 points per game in their last 5 lined games. Six straight losses |
|||||||
11-04-15 | Ohio v. Bowling Green -20.5 | 24-62 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bowling Green's Johnson has 5 touchdowns in each of the last 3 games (1,280 passing yards), and 9 straight Falcon games with at least 500 yards. Ohio checks in with nation's 104th ranked rushing offense, and -65 points ATS their last 2. Â No issues with the cover in this one. |
|||||||
11-02-15 | Colts v. Panthers -6 | 26-29 | Loss | -101 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Battle of the overall #1 picks in the 2011 & 2012 NFL drafts, namely Newton of the Panthers, and Luck of the Colts. Carolina has won 10 straight regular season games, with Cam just 3 short of Steve Young's record of 31 games with a rushing and passing touchdown. Panthers field NFL's 2nd best rushing offense, while Colts come in at 29th in overall defense. Indianapolis is the only team in the NFL which has not out gained a single opponent. Carolina is on a 7-2 ATS run, with its only misses by only 3 and 3½ points. |
|||||||
11-01-15 | Packers v. Broncos +3.5 | 10-29 | Win | 100 | 29 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It was 18 years ago, that these 2 met in Super Bowl XXXII (31-24 Bronco upset). Both enter with perfect 6-0 records, although the Packers have a decided edge as far as offense is concerned, with Rodgers a brilliant 15 touchdows and only 2 inteceptions and hitting 68% of his passes, while the aging Manning is a horrible 7 touchdowns with 10 interceptions and 62%. Green Bay owns a 24-13 point per game edge on the road, and sports the NFL's 10th ranked offense. Denver has a 23-17 point per game advantage at home, ranking 29th on offense. However Bronco defense is #2, while the Packers are #18. Green Bay is 0-10 in November road game off a pair SU wins versus a non-division opponent. |
|||||||
11-01-15 | Seahawks v. Cowboys +5 | 13-12 | Win | 100 | 25 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Now that's more like it for the Seahawks, as they allowed just 3 points, 8 first downs, 61 rushing yards, and 81 passing yards in 20-3 win over the Niners, with a healthy Lynch running for 122 yards. However, note that Seattle didn't cross the goal line over the last 32:44 in that one, and that was versus the NFL's 2nd worst defense. Before that, Seahawks' only cover came in hosting 2-4 Bears. Four straight losses for the Cowboys, despite allowing just one offensive touchdown versus the Giants (58-yard interception, and 100-yard kickoff returns). And a 460-289 yard edge. It's been 9 years since Romo dropped playoff FG snap versus Seattle. Â This one stays close. |

11-01-15 | Giants v. Saints -3 | 49-52 | Push | 0 | 22 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Backto-back Saint wins for the 1st time since Oct of '14 (13½ and 10 point covers). Led Indy 27-0, before giving most of it back in 27-21 win. But check Ingram, with another 143 rushing yards (10.2 yards per rush). Brees? Not his old self 8 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, with 17 sacks, but breathing some life into this squad. Giants sit atop the NFC East, despite a less than stellar 4-3 record. They come in off beating Dallas, despite just 1 offensive touchdown, a 27-13 first down deficit, and a 460-289 total yard shortage. And they lost their last road game ATS by 16½ points. The Saints are 4-0 ATS hosting the Giants. |
|||||||
11-01-15 | Vikings v. Bears +1.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Five straight covers for Vikings, who wound up '14 season on an 8-2 spread run. Add them up, and Minnesota is on a 13-3 ATS run. The Vikings are in off their first division road win in 3 years. So a Minnesota call over the lowly Bears, right? Well, maybe, but note that Chicago is just an overtime loss (Detroit) from a 3-game winning skein. The Bears field the 10th ranked defense, while Minnesota entered its game with the Lions owning the 2nd worst offense in the NFL. Vikings are just 2-8 ATS as road favorites, while Chicago is 7-1 ATS versus an opponent off 3 or more covers. This one goes to the final gun. |
|||||||
11-01-15 | Cardinals -5.5 v. Browns | Top | 34-20 | Win | 100 | 22 h 50 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFL Game of the Week A week ago, I gave a couple of solid reasons for backing the Browns over the Rams, such as Cleveland with an 11-3 ATS record as an underdog, as well as 10-1 ATS off a loss. Well, four lost fumbles put those stats into the trash bin. Still, the dog is 12-3-1 ATS in Cleveland games, and the Browns are 9-0 ATS as non-division home dogs. And try 6-0 ATS off scoring less than 14 points. But the Cards have a 34-22 points per game edge away this year, and are 7-0 ATS versus an opponent off a double digit SU loss. All things considered, Card call. |

Rating: 4 Unit Big-10 Game of the Week It was a good time for Michigan's bye week, off that incredible loss to Michigan State. Harbaugh won't let them stay down. A 183-41 point edge in their last 6 games. Minnesota was also off last week. However, they have just one cover since thei opener, and lost their last underdog role by 23 points ATS. Michigan gets revenge for last year. |

10-31-15 | Texas -6.5 v. Iowa State | 0-24 | Loss | -106 | 94 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No questioning obvious Texas dedication of late, with a 587-202 rushing yard edge over Oklahoma and Kansas State (23½ and 7½ point ATS edges), following 50-7 embarrassment at TCU. Cyclones never quit despite early 35-0 deficit at Baylor, behind Lanning and Warren. However Texas defense is the more dependable |

But rank 6th, 12th, and 11th in rushing, scoring and total offense, and the visitor is 6-0 ATS in OU tilts so far. Arizona State has truly impressed just once, in upset of Ucla, and lost by 28 here versus Southern California. OU the play |

10-26-15 | Baltimore Ravens v. Arizona Cardinals -8.5 | 18-26 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Unless something miraculous happens, the Ravens will now be in a "spoiler" role. Five losses by Oct 18. But note all 6 of their games have been decided by 6 points or less SU, and the spread on this one is 7. However Arizona losing to Pittsburgh, 25-13,despite a 469-310 yard edge, with 421 passing yards from Palmer, who now has 14 touchdowns with 5 interceptions. Similar 26-13 first down edge in Arizona's other loss. Remember also, Arizona bouncing back with a 42-17 win at Detroit. Ravens are 0-8 ATS as road dogs off 2 SU losses, so I am looking for the Cards to again storm back in style off a loss. |

10-25-15 | Oakland Raiders +4 v. San Diego Chargers | 37-29 | Win | 100 | 19 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chargers stand at just 2-4, despite the fact that they are smoking, offensively. Check a 56-31 first down edge versus Pittsburgh and Green Bay (24-20 & 27-20 losses). Note a 38:00-22:00 time edge versus Green Bay, as well as a 548-370 yard advantage, with Rivers setting franchise records with 65 passes, 43 completions, and 503 passing yards. He now stands at a decent 12 touchdowns with 5 interceptions with an NFL-leadinng 2,116 passing yards (353 passing yards per game). Raiders seem to stay tight, with a 94-93 point edge since their 20-point opening day loss to Cincinnati. Oakland is 12-2 ATS as a division road dog off SU division loss, and 9-3 ATS versus San Diego. |
|||||||
10-25-15 | Pittsburgh Steelers +3 v. Kansas City Chiefs | 13-23 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Chiefs come into this one with 5 straight losses (SU & ATS) with -35 points ATS. Just 27 points combined the past 2 weeks; Smith only has 6 touchdowns with 3 interceptions for the season, and no Charles. In the process, the chalk, which was 9-1 ATS in Kansas City games, is currently just 4-8. The Steelers continue to succeed, even with no Ben, taking the Chargers at the whistle, and the Cards, comfortably, despite a combined first down deficit of 45-28. However, note 463 RYs versus those 2 (+23 points ATS). Tomlin is 7-1 ATS on the road, off a SU win, so Pitt keeps it going. |
|||||||
10-25-15 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3.5 v. Washington Redskins | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 17 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Time for 1 of these 2-win squads to turn it around. Well, the Bucs did take the measure of the hapless Jags in their last game, before their bye, by the score of 38-31. That ended an 11-game home losing steak for Tampa. The Bucs rolled up an impressive 183-55 rushing yard edge, so now at 162 rushing yards per game in their L2 games. The Redskins have topped 21 points in only 7 of their last 23 games, and Tampa is 11-0 as a road dog off after topping 27 points. Toss in Gruden's 1-7 ATS record versus less than .500 opponents and I'll take the 3½ |
|||||||
10-25-15 | Atlanta Falcons -5.5 v. Tennessee Titans | 10-7 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Division sandwich for Falcons, while the Titans in 3rd straight home game. Atlanta in off 1st loss of year, but was done in by 3 lost fumbles (150-81 rushing yard edge). However, Falcons are still at 29.4 points per game in 11 of their last 12 games, are averaging 155 rushing yards in their last 4 games, and are on an 11-5 ATS run. Titans have topped 14 points just once since their opening day 42-14 pasting of the Bucs. And Mariota is only 5 touchdowns with 5 interceptions since his 4/0 start. Tennessee defense ranks 3rd, but game up 180 rushing yards and 434 total yards versus Miami. Atlanta is 9-1 ATS as a favorite of 3+ points versus a losing AFC squad, and 8-0 ATS in October off and upset loss versus a losing opponent |
|||||||
10-25-15 | NY Jets v. New England Patriots -7.5 | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -104 | 16 h 29 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFL Game of the Week Well, what do you know? He's human after all. The initial interception (pick-six) for Brady in win over Indy (not by enough: Colt touchown in final 1:19), so he is now only 14 touchdowns with 1 interception for the season (71%). The Jets just continue to do it, now standing at 4-1, both SU & ATS, with the SU winner covering New York games by 17½, 20, 9, 11½, & 7½ points. So why not another? Home team is 29-8 ATS in Pat games, and New England is at 36.4 points per game in their last 8 games. Jets +39½ points ATS on road this year, but Pats are 8-0 ATS at home versus opponents who are off 2 wins |
|||||||
10-24-15 | Washington v. Stanford -19 | Top | 14-31 | Loss | -110 | 33 h 60 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Pac-12 Game of the Week Stanford comes into this one on a 7-1 ATS run of late, (+82 points), with a 949-410 rushing yard edge in their L3 games (McCaffery: 605, including 243 and 4 touchdowns versus Ucla). The Huskies in off 385-338 yard edge versus Oregon, but a 26-20 loss (RB Gaskin: 155 yards). But Washington ranks 112th and 100th in rushing and total offense. |
|||||||
10-24-15 | Western Kentucky +17 v. LSU | 20-48 | Loss | -110 | 80 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fourth straight home game for the perfect Tigers, who are at 325.5 rushing yards per game (Fournette 203 yards per game alone). But needed faked field goal to take Florida, and have just 1 cover since Auburn rout (½ point). Western Kentucky at 44 points per game in their last 6 (+68 points ATS last 6: Doughty at 387 passing yards per game, with 24 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions). Western Kentucky at #3, #6, #9 in pass, scoring, and total offense. |
|||||||
10-24-15 | Washington State +7.5 v. Arizona | 45-42 | Win | 100 | 77 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No question that Washington State has more than proven their worth. No letdown off upset of Oregon, with 407 passing yards and 6 touchdowns from Falk versus Oregon State, on the heels of 505 yard and 5 touchdowns versus the Ducks. Arizona might have snapped home field jinx with rout of Oregon State, with 82 points and 1,260 yards the last 2 weeks. This will be a close one. |
|||||||
10-24-15 | Tulane v. Navy -23 | 14-31 | Loss | -106 | 74 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rested Navy gave Notre Dame all it could handle in 41-24 loss (24-21 at half), with 318 rushing yards, as Irish allowing 148 rushing yards per game versus other 6 opponents. Tulane has a 91-17 point deficit in their last two games (-39 points ATS), and giving up more than 30 points in 16 of their last 17 games |
|||||||
10-24-15 | Iowa State v. Baylor -37 | 27-45 | Loss | -106 | 73 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 4 Unit Big-12 Game of the Week Keep it going! Nearly a perfect score in Baylor's rout of West Virginia, until 100-yard kick off return in the final 1:05. But 693 yards and 62 points, behind Russell's 380 passing yards along with 5 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, 161 rushing yards, and 3 more Coleman touchdowns (16). Cyclones are moving from frying pan into the fire (Frogs to Bears), ranking 111th in total defense. Â Can you say "another rout?" |
|||||||
10-24-15 | Houston -21.5 v. Central Florida | 59-10 | Win | 100 | 73 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A 16-14 lead over Temple, but a 30-16 loss for Central Florida, with a 361-134 yard deficit (-65 points ATS in their L7 games). Houston is 6-0 SU, and +62 points ATS this year, with 5th-ranked offense coming in at 279 rushing yards per game, aling with 276 passing yards per game. Can you spell revenge. |
|||||||
10-19-15 | NY Giants +4 v. Philadelphia Eagles | Top | 7-27 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 46 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Game of the Month - Eagles finally came alive in the 39-17 throttling of the Saints, who are in search of  anything that will come to their aid. No, those 34 first downs, 186 rushing yards, and 519 total yards (Bradford: 333 passing yards, and now has 8 touchdowns with 6 interceptions) aren't to be dismissed, but consider the opponent. That snapped a 9-0 ATS dog run in Philly games. And the pup is 8-2-1 ATS in the Giants' last 11 games, as well. Three straight wins for New York,  but no cover versus the Niners, despite 30 first downs and 525 yards. Eli a superb 41-of-54 with 3 touchdowns and only 1 interception in that one, and is a respectable 10 touchdowns wih 2 interceptions for the season, which hasn't been the case, recently. |
|||||||
10-18-15 | New England Patriots -8 v. Indianapolis Colts | Top | 34-27 | Loss | -108 | 23 h 3 m | Show |
Rating 4 Unit NFL Game of the Week After facing the likes of Tyrod Taylor, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Marcus Mariota, Blake Bortles and Ryan Mallet, the Colts step way up in quarterbacks drawing Tom Brady and the NFL’s top offense. New England is averaging 37.2 points per game while leading the NFL in total yards and passing yards. Indianapolis is 21-7-1 ATS in its last 29 home games. That record is trumped by New England’s dominance of the Colts during the Chuck Pagano era. The Patriots are 4-0 SU and ATS versus the Colts in the last three years – and that’s against Andrew Luck. The  Patriots have buried the Colts during this span winning 59-24, 43-22, 42-20 and 45-7. That comes out to average victory of 29 points. |
|||||||
10-18-15 | Cincinnati Bengals -3 v. Buffalo Bills | 34-21 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units They just keep on doing it. Cincinnati is now 5-0 for the 1st time since '88, when they made it to the Super Bowl. And they are in off the 2nd biggest comeback win in franchise history, overcoming 24-7 deficit in the 4th versus that Seattle defense, tying it on a Nugent FG as time expired, and another in the extra session, with Dalton going 13-of-15 for 135 yards in the 4th quarter and overtime. Bengals are 4-0-1 ATS so far (+36½ points). Buffalo, on the other hand, has managed just 12 point per game since that 41-14 wipeout of the Dolphs. Bill frist downs run: from 23, to 21, to 14, to 13. Lost last home game by 19½ points ATS |
|||||||
10-18-15 | Arizona Cardinals -3.5 v. Pittsburgh Steelers | 13-25 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Second meeting for these 2 since the Cardinals last minute 27-23 Super Bowl loss in '08, as they also lost 32-20 at home in 2011. The Steelers are paying the price for the loss of Roethlisberger, sneaking by the Rams, and losing (in OT) to the Ravens before their Monday encounter with the Chargers. Just can't see a turnaround strong enough to offset the highly productive Cardinals, who are averaging a 38-18 point per game edge for the year, with Palmer now 13 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions on the year |
|||||||
10-18-15 | Chicago Bears v. Detroit Lions -3 | 34-37 | Push | 0 | 15 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the 2nd straight week, the Lions are the only winless team in the NFL. Mistakes are their bane, with last weeks 25-point loss to the Cards a perfect example. A 29-15 first down edge, along with a 436-345 total yard advantage, but a 6-0 turnover deficit. Again, as Thurman Thomas said in Bills' '92 52-17 Super Bowl loss to Dallas: "You can't beat a high school team with 7 turnovers. Bears in off 2 wins, but note a 111-63 point deficit in their last 4 games. Lions are 11-2 ATS in division play, off a double digit ATS loss, while allowing 35+ points |
|||||||
10-18-15 | Miami Dolphins v. Tennessee Titans -1 | 38-10 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units On paper, this one should be no match, for the Titans have the 9th best offense in the NFL, along with the 6th ranked defense, while the Dolphins check in at 26th on offense, and 29th on defense. Miami a suicidal 642-312 rushing yard deficit for the year, while on the short end of a 200-yard margin in its London game with the Jets. And "savior" Tannehill is just 7 touchdowns with 5 interceptions so far this season. Titans in off a pair of wrenching losses: 35-33 versus Indy, and 14-13 versus Buffalo, so no questioning their competitiveness. Titans 9-0 ATS off SU loss of less than 8 points, versus a less than .500 opponent, and Fish are 2-10 ATS off a SU/ATS loss versus a less than .500 opponent off a loss. |
|||||||
10-17-15 | USC v. Notre Dame -6.5 | 31-41 | Win | 100 | 73 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Whew! Just a 3-point Irish cover versus Navy, with a 318-178 rushing yard deficit. But 281 passing yards from Kizer. Home team now +78½ points ATS in Notre Dame games. USC came from 47 points per game, to just 1 touchdown in 17-12 loss to Washington (19½-point ATS losses in L2 home games). Kessler: from 15 touchdown and only 1 interception to 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Plus, they now don't have a head coach! Irish! |
|||||||
10-17-15 | Alabama -4 v. Texas A&M | 41-23 | Win | 100 | 69 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These teams come into this one a combined 10-1 SU. Alabama totally dominated Texas A&M last year and should actually be 6-0. They missed te cover versus Arkansas on a 54-yard pass in the final 1:37, and ranks 6th in total defense. The Aggies are rested, and QB Allen is at 255 passing yards per game with 13 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Alabama can't afford a slip, and the line is under a touchdown. Lay it. |
|||||||
10-17-15 | Michigan State v. Michigan -8 | Top | 27-23 | Loss | -105 | 70 h 30 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Big-10 Game of the Week The Wolves are a true force. First FBS team with 3 straight shutout wins in 20 years, with a 160-14 point edge in their last 4 games, ranking #2, #2, #1, #2 in run, pass, scoring and total defense. Spartans are 6-0 SU, but -45½ points ATS. They had the #8 defense last year but are 56th this year.  The Spartans failed to cover the spot in any of their first six starts.  They were out-yarded by Oregon, Air Force, and Central Michigan and were hard-pressed to dismiss disheveled Rutgers. |
