12-29-16 | Oklahoma State +3 v. Colorado | Top | 38-8 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
 This is Oklahoma State's 11th straight bowl trip behind Mike Gundy a former Cowboys quarterback. He received good new that quarterback Mason Rudolph and Justin Hill will be returning for a team that ranked 17th nationally in points scored. This past month was a lot of extra time to practice and prepare with his veteran group. On the flip sode, this is the Buffs' first bowl game since 2007! They've had a tremendous season and finished 10-3 against the number, but dropped their last two against the spread. They were trounced in the PAC-12 Championship game by Washington. Their offense that was averaging 32.8 points per game was held to 10 points. It seemed like COL pounded the weaker teams and struggled with the elite ones. Its the kids and HC first visit to a Bowl game and are inexperienced. 5* |

12-29-16 | Arkansas v. Virginia Tech -6.5 | Top | 24-35 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
The ACC has been a pleasant surprise in bowl games this year. Virginia Tech t nearly beat Clemson and this is a very good team. I give VTech the advantage here and their QB makes good decision. Virginia Tech quarterback Jerod Evans. His numbers were spectacular, throwing for 3,303 yards with a 27:7 touchdown-to-interception ratio and leading Virginia Tech with 759 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. Virginia Tech is the real deal having won the ACC Coastal by virtue of victories over North Carolina and Pittsburgh before playing Clemson close in a loss in the title game. VTech's defensive front is going to bring pressure early and often. One of the main themes of the Arkansas season was the offensive line being unable to keep quarterback Austin Allen from getting slaughtered. Defensively, Virginia Tech holds a sizeable advantage, ranking 19th in total defense compared to Arkansas at No. 75. The Hokies have a huge advantage defensively and too many weapons on offense for Arkansas to keep up with. VT also has an advantage on Special Teams. Lets play the Hokies here in this one.  5* |

12-29-16 | South Florida -10 v. South Carolina | Top | 46-39 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 0 m | Show |
We are going with S Florida in this bowl game on Thursday. Willie Taggart built a very good football team at USF. He’s now gone to Oregon, but the talent still remains. What will give the Gamecocks problems is the 1-2 rushing punch of QB Quinton Flowers and RB Marlon Mack. They will make this a statement victory for the Bulls. This years version of South Florida football is the best in school history with 10 wins and a bowl game against an SEC opponent. The Bulls have not only set school records with 10 wins as well as total offense (6,181 yards). South Florida enters with four straight wins while the Gamecocks were pounded by Clemson 56-7 in their final game. SC basically won their games where their defense got them 3 or more turnovers. I dont see that happening today. South Florida wins and covers ATS this afternoon. 5* |

12-28-16 | Kansas State v. Texas A&M -3 | Top | 33-28 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
Kansas State definitely finished stronger between these 2 teams but they also played much weaker oppositions. HCÂ Bill Snyder-led Wildcats doesn't have the talent A&M has. Kansas State is also 1-5 ATS in their last six bowl games. The Aggies are starting to get healthy with Myles Garrett and Trevor Knight expected to suit up for this game. They just have too many weapons on offense for Kansas State to keep pace with.
10* Bowl Game of the Week |

12-28-16 | Indiana +6 v. Utah | Top | 24-26 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
Outside of the turnovers, Indiana has played pretty well. As stated before, Lagow has racked up more than 3,000 yards passing. Running back Devine Reading has over 1,000 yards on the season and receiver Nick Westbrook has 49 catches for 915 yards and 5 scores as the go to guy on the outside. Therefore, Indiana is plenty good enough to attack Utah's defense on both the ground and through the air. However, I believe Indiana's best chance will be their ability to attack through the air. The Utes defense has been vulnerable to the pass this season so Lagow will have some opportunities in this game but he has to avoid the turnovers to give Indiana a chance. 5* |

12-27-16 | Baylor +7.5 v. Boise State | Top | 31-12 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
Most college football programs would love a 10-win season, but disappointing losses to Wyoming and Air Force in the second half of the season cost Boise State an opportunity to play for a conference title and a spot in a New Year’s Six bowl. The Broncos will be hard pressed to find motivation for this game. Overall, Baylor is averaging 34.9 points and 523.3 yards of total offense per game. They've lost 6 in a row but with a month to prepare and a lot of seniors on this team they want to go out with a WIN. It is worth noting that Baylor has played six teams that rank among the top 25 nationally in total offense while the Broncos have faced only one. Also, the Bears held four opponents to 13 points or fewer, while all but two teams scored at least 16 points against Boise State. Look for Baylor to come in closing out an era and playing loose and with not a care. Too many points in this one so take the dog with BAYLOR. 5* |

12-27-16 | SMU v. Memphis +2.5 | 58-54 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
SMU stands 10-3 overall with their nonconference defeats coming against the likes of Michigan, USC, and Boise State. All of SMU’s nonconference losses came away from home. This is a great chance for Memphis to open up conference play with a resume building win getting the team headed in the right direction. SMU brings an solid defense to the table, but their offense hasn’t been near the force of Memphis. Behind their home court advantage we like the Tigers to shoot the ball well at home and I'm grabbing the points in this conference opener. 5* |

12-27-16 | Northwestern v. Penn State +3.5 | Top | 87-77 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 8 m | Show |
We liked the potential of this Nittany Lions’ roster coming into the year and Penn State should be a tougher out in the Big Ten than what they were a season ago. There’s no denying Penn State was inconsistent throughout the nonconference, but that’s to be expected with a developing group of talent. Penn State closed out the nonconference hot winning in back to back blowouts against Saint John’s and Morgan State. Penn State has shown flashes of solid play on both ends of the court and this squad currently ranks around 150th in the nation in both total defense and scoring average. Penn State has tremendous offensive depth with 5 players averaging in double figures scoring with veteran guard Shep Garner leading the team averaging 14.6 points per contest. In what should be competitive matchup we like the home team with the points. 5* |

12-27-16 | Army -10.5 v. North Texas | Top | 38-31 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 6 m | Show |
I think we have a very solid play here in the Bowls as the these 2 teams already played this season and the game/score was very misleading. North Texas has lost all of their games by 14 or more points this season and are lucky to be in a bowl game with a 5-7 record. Army already lost to N Texas this season. It was their sloppiest game in recent years. They had 7 turnovers which included 4 interceptions. That’s tough to do for a team that doesn’t throw the ball. Army also committed 9 penalties in this game and I don’t see that happening again. This Army team has a little time to prepare and will have revenge on their mind. North Texas is terrible vs. the run allowing well over 5 yards per carry. They allowed 9.60 yards per carry in their last game alone. Army ran for 302 yards in the last meeting, but the turnovers killed drives. Army’s defense is much better and I see them dominating this game even if it’s in Texas I think they will actually have a slight advantage in the stands. Texas a big military state and they typically have a ton of Army fans at games when Army comes to town. North Texas will get to lineup against the nation's 4th best defense that has allowed just 288 yards per game and hope to outscore their opponent because we know that Army is going to move the football. Again the matchup is just disastrous for North Texas and I think the result will show here on Tuesday afternoon and Army gets a BIG WIN! 10* |

12-26-16 | Vanderbilt +5.5 v. NC State | Top | 17-41 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
This will be a relatively low-scoring game, which makes taking the points more valuable. The line is now up to +6 with Vandy and they are the better defensive team and 85% change of rain throughout the game.

12-25-16 | Broncos v. Chiefs -3.5 | Top | 10-33 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show |
This is a HUGE game in the AFC with a lot of playoff implications. The Chiefs lost a winnable game last week, which makes this a must-win scenario at home. I like the Chiefs offense to be able to do enough versus a very tough Broncos defense. Denver’s offense won’t have success against KC’s pass rush. Andy Reid will have his team ready as they rarely have back to back poor games. CHIEFS big here on Sunday. 5* |
|||||||
12-25-16 | Ravens +6 v. Steelers | Top | 27-31 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
The Steelers have won and covered in five straight, but I'm not sure I agree with this line with these two teams fighting each other for the AFC North title. Baltimore brings an elite defense into this matchup and has been playing well on offense lately, averaging just under 30 points per game in their last three. Ben Roethlisberger hasn't played that well in recent weeks despite Pittsburgh's win streak, and Baltimore has a defense capable of slowing down Le'Veon Bell. This could turn into a FG battle, and the Ravens have an excellent weapon there as well. Baltimore has won 5 of their last 7 games, with their losses in that span against the best of the AFC - New England, and the best of the NFC - Dallas, so very interested in grabbing the points this Christmas Day. 5* |

12-24-16 | Middle Tennessee State -7 v. Hawaii | Top | 35-52 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
Blue Raiders RB I’Tavius Mathers is a homerun threat and is facing a Hawaii team whose run defense has been in holiday mode all year. Expect MTSU to be able to run and pass the move the ball at will all night long. I expect QB Brent Stockstill of Middle Tennessee to attack the CBs of Hawaii all day long. Stockstill will be finding every spot on the field to get his guys involved. Middle Tennessee has a really good rushing game and their offense is something fun to watch, and even tougher to defend.
Take Midd Tenn St. 5* |

12-24-16 | Vikings +7 v. Packers | Top | 25-38 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 22 m | Show |
I'm taking the points with the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday. Vikes HC Mike Zimmer stated it's time to find out who is going to fight. Despite last week's results, the Viking defense is still 3rd best in the league in both passing yards allowed and total yards allowed per game. Get also get Harrison Smith likely returning to bolster the Minn secondary. They've held their opponents to 21 or fewer points in 11 of 14 games (regulation) this season. Both of these divisional teams know each other well and I'm backing the Vikes plus the 7 points here on Saturday afternoon. 5* |

12-24-16 | Redskins v. Bears +3 | Top | 41-21 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
Quietly, the Bears have played solid football lately, covering five straight games. I like how this team has competed since Matt Barkley took over at QB. The Redskins are coming off a short week and this is a quick improving Bears pass rush, Kirk Cousins and Washington's offense will struggle enough to keep this within the number. The Bears have covered five straight and now they're getting leading tackler Jerrell Freeman back from suspension. Look for Chicago to have success running the ball against Washington. Also the Redskins will likely will be without top playmaker TE Jordan Reed who is the key to their offense and reminds me of Gronk. Without him I think they will struggle to move the ball and pick up 1st downs. Grab the points with Washington here with our 10* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH. |

12-22-16 | Colorado State -15 v. Idaho | Top | 50-61 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 5 m | Show |
Colorado St played a much tougher schedule this year and they should have their way tonight. The Rams defense did some good things this season, such as hold opposing quarterbacks to moderate production and generally just being a very scrappy group that plays in rhythm with the offense. Colorado State has been playing some impressive ball looking strong in their final wins against Nex Mexico and SD St. The blowout win on the road against San Diego State was downright incredible, especially when considering how strong the Aztecs looked in their bowl win. Idaho gets the home state advantage, but Colorado State is bringing in a lot of momentum and are much better on offense and Special teams. Look for Colorado St to score TD's and not FG's and pull away in the 2nd half for the ATS Cover for us. 5* |

 Wyoming has a very good QB in Josh Allen and a tremendous RB in Brian Hill who will be playing on Sunday’s. BYU meanwhile is without their senior leader Tasom Hill who ended the year with another injury. Wyoming faced 9 bowl opponents and really were in every game.
This should be a great game between these two teams that went through solid campaigns out West. I expect a tight game and like Wyoming plus the points. 5* |

12-21-16 | Akron -5 v. UC-Irvine | Top | 88-80 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
The Akron Zips are one of the favorites to win the MAC this season and this veteran group has gotten off to a respectable start standing 8-3 overall coming into this neutral site test. Akron puts in effort on both sides of the ball ranking around 90th in the nation in both scoring average and total defense. UC Irvine lost 4 starters from last year’s squad and to makes things even tougher top returner Luke Nelson has also been out. UC Irvine has fallen off losing 5 of their last 7 games to now stand 5-8 overall. In their last outing UC Irvine fell to New Mexico State on the road by a final of 79-85 and fatigue has to be considered a factor given the Anteaters have played in 5 of their last 6 on the road. UC Irvine has been painful to watch on the offensive end at times this season as UCI ranks 335th in the nation in scoring average. Akron is at a much better spot right now as a team given the amount of veteran talent they have leading a team that’s favored to win the MAC. Take Akron here tonight at the SUN BOWL INVITATIONAL on a neutral court in Texas. 5* |

12-20-16 | New Mexico v. Arizona -12.5 | Top | 46-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
The New Mexico Lobos have been unable to live up to their expectations over the past couple of seasons and this group hasn’t gotten off to their ideal start this year standing 7-4 overall going into this tough test on the road. New Mexico came up short in their last road game falling to rival New Mexico State by a final of 71-84. The Lobos have had offensive consistency issues again this year and New Mexico has come up short in some of their tougher matchups against teams like Va Tech and Dayton. Arizona has been finding success standing 10-2 overall heading into the final stretch of the nonconference. Arizona picked up a very nice resume building win in their last outing as the Wildcats took down Texas A&M in Houston by a final of 67-63. Arizona has been building off of their defensive strengths as this group ranks 23rd in the nation in points allowed compared to 201st in scoring average. Not having Trier in the lineup has been a downer, but Lauri Markkanen has been fun to watch as he’s led the squad averaging 16.3 points per game. New Mexico was throttled by Va Tech earlier in the year and that was the last time the Lobos went against this caliber of competition. Arizona has a great home court advantage and we like for the Wildcats’ defense to be a difference maker as they go on to frustrate the Lobos attack on their way to winning and covering the spread. 5* |

12-19-16 | Central Michigan +13 v. Tulsa | 10-55 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 39 m | Show | |
When Central Michigan's RB comes off their guard, and makes their move inside, Central Michigan's running game is pretty hard to bring to a stop. Central Michigan's running game, on the whole, has been pretty hard to stop with their core RBs getting them 5+/ YPG. Central Michigan have been losers of 4 of their last 5, but the numbers are in their favor. Tulsa has struggled with getting the yardage that's needed with their ground game. Especially with their QB not being able to buy extra time when facing a pressing rush. Tulsa has also been slacking with getting enough push and vs the front of Central Michigan it is going to be harder than normal. Tulsa still has a tough offense, one that is going to score points - this has shootout all over it.

12-18-16 | Patriots v. Broncos +3 | Top | 16-3 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
The Broncos are now in full desperation mode, as they likely need to win out and also get some help in order to stand a chance of defending their Super Bowl title. Their quest starts Sunday in a rematch with a New England team they have dominated of late. Denver’s meager offense has been the primary culprit in its erratic year, especially in last week’s loss to the Titans. But Denver’s defense historically gives fits to Tom Brady, who might have limited options because TE Martellus Bennett is questionable. Defensively Denver has fared much better and ranks 1st against the pass and 3rd in yards against. Their leader continues to be Von Miller, who decimated the Patriots in the January AFC championship by recording 2.5 sacks and one interception as he was constantly in the Patriots backfield either stopping a running play or harassing Tom Brady on nearly every passing play. Look for the Broncos to come up big at home and I'm backing Denver in this prime motivational spot. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK |

12-18-16 | Titans +6.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 4 h 13 m | Show |
This is another game with a playoff feel. Marcus Mariota is starting to come into his own. It will be his mobility that’ll give a great defense in Kansas City some fits. The Titans have the best redzone TD efficiency in the league, scoring a TD in 71.4% of their RZ drives, which is led by the third best rushing offense in the league with 144.5 YPG. Titans also has the better/hotter QB this game. I think this one comes down to a FG and I'm taking the points with the TITANS here on Sunday afternoon. 5* |

The Demon Deacons last played a week ago and just completed mid-term exams Not an ideal scenario for taking on the experienced Musketeers. Xavier won last season in Winston-Salem by eight -- after trailing by 18 -- and is better, from early indications, this year. The X-Men covered in all but one of their previous five home dates. Take Xavier. 5* |

12-17-16 | Houston -4.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 10-34 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 50 m | Show |
The Houston rush defense was ranked 3rd in the Nation. Their offense was pretty solid for most of the season too, led by a really good college QB in Greg Ward, Jr. With 3328 yards passing, Ward threw 22 touchdowns, also leading he team in rushing with 9 TD runs to boot. The extra time off and practices should also help the smaller Ward, Jr., who was banged up at times this year. Houston averaged 38 points a game this season as well on offense. Houston is as tough as they come with their pass coverage - and their less than 56% completion rate they allow. Houston's secondary has been surprisingly better than expected, with their pass defense - which is going to cause some problems for the less than stellar passing game of San Diego State. Houston comes in off a surprising loss where they gave up 555 yards on defense. San Diego State doesn't move the ball very well, in the air - and they have had their problems with a lack of pull blocking on their offensive side of the ball. The DLine of Houston will be able to snuff out the majority of what the Aztecs start behind the line - who can start off too slow at times. Aztecs are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games I think they are the more dominant team and while the season didn't live up to expectations they lost their 5th game so it wasn't like they were undefeated headed into their final game. Now their Defensive coordinator Todd Orlando takes over for this game as their HC Tom Herman took the Texas HC position. There are 16 seniors on the game and Houston will send them off a winner. 10* |

12-17-16 | Ohio State v. UCLA -9 | Top | 73-86 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show |
The Buckeyes’ moderate pace and sticky defense could slow the Bruins’ runaway train. Until then, UCLA is the college version of Golden State, with an endless loop of passing and a killer fast break. The Bruins have covered in eight straight, while Ohio State is 4-9 ATS in its last 13. The Bruins should have more crowd backing in Las Vegas which is a very short flight, and OSU is 3-15 ATS in its prior 18 neutral-court affairs. 5* |

12-16-16 | Lakers +2 v. 76ers | Top | 100-89 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
After a promising start the Lakers have dropped eight straight games, including Wednesday's 107-97 defeat at the Brooklyn Nets. Former Sixer Lou Williams scored 16 points off the bench for Los Angeles in that one, and leads the team with a career-best 19.2 average. After the loss the Lakers HC Luke Walton ripped into the team stating that they need more energy. I look for a much better effort tonight from LA who takes on the 76ers who keep changing up their lineup hoping to fight the right fit. The Lakers only shot 38% last game and 22% from the 3pt line. They also missed 13 FT's in that game against the Nets. Both teams are young, but look for LA to bounce back get the win on the road tonight. 5* |

12-15-16 | College of Charleston v. East Carolina -2 | Top | 53-35 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
The East Carolina Pirates are a team that’s relied on their defense to win games as this group also stands 7-3 overall ranking 16th in the nation in total defense and 292nd in scoring average. East Carolina has consistently beaten the easier teams on their slate so far in the nonconference, while coming up short against teams like Charlotte, Mercer, and in their last outing on the road against Virginia by a final of 53-76. ECU has three guys averaging in double figures scoring with Caleb White leading the charge averaging 14 points per game. We like the Pirates to come through at home against a rusty Charleston group as they win and cover the spread. 5* |

Despite Belmonts record they have played a much tougher schedule with some losses to quality opponents. They have also been good at home historically. The Belmont Bruins are expected to compete in the upper tier of the OVC again this season. They survived in their last outing getting past Lipscomb on the road by a final of 78-76 in what was another less than dominant performance from the Bruins. Top returner Evan Bradds leads the team averaging 21.3 points per game. Look for Belmont to come out strong and focused playing at home tonight and notch us the win and cover. 5* |

12-14-16 | Lakers v. Nets -1.5 | Top | 97-107 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Nets are coming off back-to-back losses at San Antonio and Houston, but they played the Rockets tough on Monday losing by just four points. PG Jeremy Lin returned from a hamstring injury and collected 10 points and seven assists in 20 minutes off the bench, a nice boost for the Nets after him missing the last 17 games. When he is in the game the team plays much better overall and I expect Lin to see more court time tonight. The Lakers are just 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall while the Nets have covered the spread in four of their last five. The reeling LA Lakers have dropped seven straight games, and Luke Walton was ejcted in their last game at Sac. The Nets have good perimeter shooters and I like their chances at home tonight. |

12-13-16 | Montana +18 v. Oregon | 67-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 31 m | Show | |
5* The Montana Grizzlies are better than their 3-7 overall record and they have played some good nonconference teams. In their last outing Montana went blow for blow for the second time this season against Wyoming, while coming up just short in the end losing to the Cowboys by a final of 83-85. The Grizzlies also have competitive road losses this season against teams like USC, Ole Miss, and South Dakota.
Montana has been going against a very tough nonconference slate and the Grizzlies won’t be fazed going on the road to face Oregon in this one. The Ducks have had their issues with putting away mediocre competition and that could certainly happen again today given how the Ducks have been inconsistent on the offensive end. Take Montana with the points here on Tuesday late night. |

12-12-16 | South Carolina v. Seton Hall -2.5 | Top | 64-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
Seton Hall has gotten off to a respectable start this year standing 7-2 overall with their defeats coming against the likes of Florida and Stanford. In their last outing Seton Hall picked up a nice win against Cal beating the Golden Bears by a final of 60-57. Seton Hall could use some more nonconference resume wins and they’ll get their chance here against the shorthanded Gamecocks. Seton Hall is more of a threat on the offensive end than South Carolina as this group ranks 90th in the nation in scoring average and the Pirate are led by Khadeen Carrington who’s averaging 20 points per game. It’s unfortunate that South Carolina comes into this neutral site game at MSG shorthanded and that’ll make things a bit more difficult for the Gamecocks in this one. Seton Hall doesn’t need to travel as far for this neutral site but they'll have the home court edge playing at MSG. 5* |

12-12-16 | Ravens v. Patriots -6 | Top | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
The Patriots are looking just fine without the services of Gronk and with their ability to move the ball up and down the field any way they choose it really doesn’t matter how elite the opposing defense is. Tom Brady is leading the New England offense to be top six in the league in both rushing and passing and is not going to be slowing down no matter who is in or out of the lineup. New England is allowing only 17.3 points per game this season and really could be regarded as the best unit on that side of the ball this season. Take the Patriots to get the win and cover in this one as they are the better team in this matchup and now this line has come down to 6 has me licking my chops. 5* |

12-11-16 | Saints +2 v. Bucs | Top | 11-16 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
The Saints are sitting at 5-7 and still alive for a playoff spot. New Orleans QB Drew Brees is coming off a tough game where he threw 3 INT's. He normally takes good care of the ball and I expect him and the Saints who have the top ranked offense in the league and 2nd in the league in points to bounce back in a big way on Sunday. The Saints have the top passing offense in the entire NFL averaging almost 320 yards a game and they are scoring almost 30 a game ranking second in the league behind Atlanta. The Saints offense was held in check last week by the Detroit Lions and I do not see that happening again-not two weeks in a row. If the defense can keep Tampa to 20-24 points I think we have a great edge to win this play. Tampa is only 2-4 at home and the Saints have won 8 of the last 9 between the two teams. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK |

Broncos QB Trevor Siemian is reportedly making progress from his foot injury and should play Sunday against the Titans. However, I'd like Denver in this spot, regardless of who is behind center. The Titans have a top-10 offense, but most of their numbers were amassed in a just a couple of games. They have been held to 17 points or fewer four times, and most of their wins have come against weaker competition. The Broncos have one of the leagues top defensive units which is only allowing 192 passing yards a game and have 36 sacks, both of which lead the NFL. While the Titans defense is 21st in takeaways, and 26th in passing. The Titans secondary is also very weak. Take the DENVER BRONCOS in this one. 5* |

12-10-16 | Michigan v. UCLA -9 | Top | 84-102 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show |
The Michigan Wolverines have been a tough group to figure out so far this season as this inconsistent group comes into this tough matchup standing 7-2 overall. We really liked the makeup of this UCLA squad coming into the year and the Bruins have surpassed even our high expectations for them standing 9-0 overall with some resume building wins coming against Texas A&M and Kentucky. In their last outing UCLA was very impressive on the offensive side of the ball as they went into Lexington and upset Kentucky by a final of 97-92. UCLA brings a different philosophy as they try and get up and down the court quickly ranking 2nd in the nation in scoring average compared to 242nd in total defense. UCLA has a number of offensive threats with 6 guys averaging over 11 points per game. Isaac Hamilton has led the charge averaging 18.1 points per game. UCLA has not only been putting up strong numbers this season, but they’ve also been great for us against the spread coming through in recent wins against Texas A&M and Kentucky. Michigan has been very inconsistent on the offensive end and we don’t see the Wolverines keeping pace in this one as UCLA rolls in this one at home. 10* GAME OF THE WEEK |

12-10-16 | Montana v. Wyoming -3.5 | Top | 83-85 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
The Montana Grizzlies have had a tough go of things out of the gate standing 3-6 overall heading into this rematch against Wyoming. Earlier in the year Montana came up short at home against Wyoming losing by a final of 72-73. Montana has had their issues with consistency and finding an identity as this group ranks over 200th in the nation in both scoring and total defense. A lot of people were expecting Wyoming to take a step back this season with Josh Adams moving on, but we felt this group could improve as more guys get involved on the offensive end for the Cowboys. Wyoming has gotten off to a nice start standing 6-2 overall with their best win probably coming against Northern Iowa last week at home by a final of 81-73. Wyoming can put up strong offensive numbers when they’re hitting their threes and this group currently ranks 173rd in the nation in scoring and 90th in total defense. Justin James has stepped up to lead the team averaging 15.4 points per game. Wyoming was able to come through against Montana on the road earlier in the year and we like for Wyoming to do the same today as they go on to win and cover this spread against the Grizzlies utilizing their home court advantage this go around. 5* |

12-10-16 | Cincinnati +3.5 v. Butler | Top | 65-75 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 6 m | Show |
The Cincinnati Bearcats have rode their defense to success so far this season standing 7-1 overall ranking 8th in the nation in points allowed giving up 58.1 points per game. Cincinnati dominated Bowling Green in their last outing getting past the Falcons at home by a final of 85-56. In their one true road game of the young season Cincinnati picked up an upset win on the road against Iowa State, dictating the pace of play as the Bearcats went on to win by a final of 55-54. The Butler Bulldogs are coming off their first loss of the year as Butler was upset in their last outing on the road losing to Indiana State by a final of 71-72. The Bulldogs had a tough time finding consistent offense against Indiana State’s defense and now Butler will go against an even tougher defensive unit today. This figures to be a lower scoring game with points coming at a premium between these squad that both put a lot of effort in on the defensive end. Cincinnati has a veteran group that has already proven they can get the job done on the road with their upset win against Iowa State. We like the Bearcats to come through on the road today as an underdog. 5* |

The Minnesota Timberwolves rough season continued with a 124-110 loss at Toronto on Thursday. They were competitive and hung in there for most of the game until the score ran away late in the fourth quarter. I think the fact that the Wolves played hard last night in Toronto then had to travel from Canada and they will come up tired tonight. Detroit had won three straight on the road, covering the spread in each game, before losing 87-77 at Charlotte on Wednesday in a game where Charlotte had 29 FT attempts and Detroit had 8. Pistons HC Stan Van Gundy ripped into the refs and his team after this game. Marcus Morris who averages 14 ppg and 5 rebounds also left the game with a stomach bug. The Pistons also just shot 38% from the field and 14.8% from the 3-point arc. Detroit is 12-12 on the season and 6-4 in their last 10 games. The offense may not be great (99.2 ppg), but the club's 2nd ranked scoring defense makes up for it (96.3 ppg). Take Detroit here on Friday night. 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK |

12-08-16 | Raiders v. Chiefs -3.5 | Top | 13-21 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
KC has a very underrated defense and is very good. We always like to be on teams that aren't going to beat themselves, especially in the NFL, and the Chiefs are certainly one of those teams. Since they lost to the Vikings last October (2015) Kansas City has won something like 18 of 21 games. The Chiefs are tough at home and Arrowhead is one of the toughest stadiums to play in, and Kansas City clearly knows the importance of this game if they want to win the AFC West. KC plays smart and doesn't turn the ball over. On the flip-side Oakland is the most penalized team in the league, by far, which is also something that's going to catch up with them. Lastly I also trust Any Reid more than Jack Del Rio and I expect the Chiefs to win by 6 or more tonight at home. 5* |

12-08-16 | Fordham v. St. John's -5 | Top | 62-90 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
Please note the early 630pm EST tipoff. The Fordham Rams have been heading in the wrong direction losing 3 straight coming into this tough matchup on the road against Saint John’s. In their last outing Fordham had another struggling performance on the offensive side of the ball as the Rams went on to lose to Harvard on the road by a final of 64-52. Offensive consistency has been an issue for Fordham so far this season as the Rams ranks 257th in the nation in total offense compared to 84th in points allowed. There’s a lot of work left for head coach Chris Mullin to turn things around at his alma matter, but the Red Storm are at least building some momentum coming off back to back wins against Tulane and CS Northridge. Saint John’s will struggle quite a bit once Big East play roles around and this group needs to take advantage against more manageable nonconference matchups as a result. Saint John’s has been putting up some better offensive numbers as of late and this group currently ranks a respectable 118th in the nation in scoring average. LoVett and Ponds will arguably be the best players on the court today and these guys are averaging 18.8 and 16.3 points per game respectively. St John’s has shown a bit more confidence in their last two outings and we like the Red Storm to win and cover in this one going against a Fordham group that’s been heading in the wrong direction lately. 5* |

The Buffalo Bulls are coming off back to back road losses against Creighton and Saint Bonaventure, and things don’t get any easier for the Bulls as they head into their third consecutive road game. Fatigue has to be a concern for Buffalo coming into this matchup, especially when considering how hard this squad plays on a nightly basis. The Bulls have been challenging themselves so far this season standing 4-4 overall with their best win coming by 2 points against Weber State. This group is picked to finish in the mid-tier of the MAC this season and Blake Hamilton leads the charge averaging 17.6 points. The Pitt Panthers bring in a new coaching staff this season and fortunately for the fans and coaches the cupboard isn’t bare as this group has the pieces to compete for a spot in the NCAA tournament this year. It’ll be interesting to see where this program goes in the future after having a lot of success under head coach Dixon. Pitt has opened the year 6-2 overall with some of their better wins coming against Marquette, Yale, and Maryland. Pitt is coming off an upset defeat losing to Duquesne the other day by a final of 55-64 in what was by far the worst offensive performance of the year for the Panthers. The Panthers will have the best two players on the court today with Young and Artis who’s both averaging around 20 points per game. The Panthers will have the home court advantage here and some incentive to bounce back coming off the terrible offensive performance in their last game. PITT WINS BIG! 5* |

12-07-16 | Butler v. Indiana State +10.5 | Top | 71-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
The Butler Bulldogs should get a test today from in-state foe Indiana State going on the road to play the Sycamores who’re battle tested so far this season. Butler has gotten off to a solid start this season against an up and down slate standing 8-0 overall with some nice resume building wins coming against Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Arizona, and Utah. In their last outing Butler got past Central Arkansas at home by a final of 82-58 and this squad has been putting up solid results on both ends ranking 88th in the nation in scoring and 21st in total defense. Top returner Kelan Martin has stepped up to lead the team averaging 18.1 points per game. Indiana State did bring back arguably their best player in Brenton Scott who’s the only double figure scorer on this team averaging 19.1 points per game. Indiana State has been extremely competitive in all of their defeats including losses against Iowa State and Stanford that went right down to the end. In their last outing Indiana State picked up an impressive upset win on the road against Utah State winning by a final of 62-61. Indiana State has been playing with a lot of confidence, especially in their tougher matchups, and with just a couple more baskets here and there this could be an undefeated squad. Look for a tight game throughout so back the UNDERDOG in this one with Indiana St. 5* |

The Rhode Island Rams are in need of some wins after coming off back to back true road losses against quality competition in Valpo and Providence. The Rams are expected to make the NCAA tournament this season, but they it will be tough with the resume they’ve put together early on. The Rams stand 5-3 overall with their best wins coming against Cincinnati and Belmont. In their last outing Rhode Island gave Providence a run on the road losing to the Friars by a final of 60-63. The Rams have a lot of veteran talent. Rhode Island also has a strong home court advantage and the Rams bring a big edge on the offensive side of the ball into this matchup. We like for Rhode Island to come through as they win and cover the spread. 5* |

12-05-16 | Colts -1 v. Jets | Top | 41-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
The Colts look like they’ll have the services of Andrew Luck in this game. And while the Jets have played better defensively over the last two weeks, their offense still struggles to find consistency. I think that Indy does have an advantage coming off a longer than usual week, especially as it relates to the health of their injured stars. Luck and Hilton being back at full health is so big for the Colts and the Jets are on the other side of the coin with multiple injuries in their secondary. Indy is far from perfect but they play the kind of style that exposes the weaknesses of the Jets and the normally porous Colt defense is helped by facing a rather unimpressive offense. There isn’t much to play for in New York these days and coming off an emotional week against the Patriots probably puts them at risk for a letdown effort. Trust the team that has the better offense and a much better QB in this Monday night marquee. 5* |

Syracuse is a bit underrated here. If there is a coach that gets his team up for certain games it is Jim Boeheim. Remember, Connecticut is down a bit this year as they are just a top 80 team as this is not the team that won the NCAA Tournament back in 2014. They have lost a great deal of talent and this is the same team that has lost to Wagner by double-digits, Northeastern, only beat Loyola Marymount by 3 points on the road and beat Chaminade by 11 points who is not even a Division 1 school. The Syracuse 2-3 Zone is going to smother Uconn due to poor outside shooting. We like Syracuse to get it done here in a big way! 10* BLOWOUT |

12-04-16 | Giants v. Steelers -6 | Top | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
This should be a game with a lot of action - Eli Manning vs. Roethlisberger, Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Antonio Brown, with Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell being the x-factor because the Giants continue to not really have anyone at the position that can rival Bell’s production. New York continues to struggle in the running game (only 79.5 ypg – 31st in NFL), but they have done a great job at limiting their opponent’s ability to run as the revamped Giants defense is ranked 5th versus the run thus far this season allowing just 89.1 yards per game. In Pittsburgh I think the Steelers have the better defense, Special Teams and the home field advantage. The Steelers offense would seem to have the edge going into the game, at least on paper and I like them to get the win and cover here on Sunday. 5* |

12-04-16 | Bills +3 v. Raiders | Top | 24-38 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
Buffalo Bills are still in the hunt and playing much better. Tyrod Taylor needs to steps up into pocket while continuing his scan of the field - before taking off downfield running. And his 11 TD passes hasn't shown enough to keep teams too concerned about him finding his guys. Taylor is building trust and good faith in his receivers - even though youth and injuries have slowed them down - he has yet to develop that. Sammy Watkins is expected to be back for this game and LeSean McCoy is amped and capable and primed for a big day against a defense that allows 4.6 yards per rushing attempt. Buffalo QB Taylor is going to have to get rid of the ball with a lot of quick throws to avoid that pass rush of the Raiders. The Bills are averaging 25 points per game and have scored at least 25 points in eight of their 11 games. If the Bills continue to protect the ball the way they have, they will have a chance to do some damage on offense. The Raiders defense is far from great as it ranks last in yards allowed per play, 31st in sacks, 23rd in points allowed and 29th in yards allowed. Buffalo has won two in a row following a three-game losing streak. The Bills have been depleted by injuries and suspensions throughout the season, but are starting to get key players back healthy. This is a must win and statement game of the Buffalo and I'll back them plus the points here on Sunday. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK |

Penn State continues to be underrated. The Nittany Lions have been on fire offensively in all facets. Wisconsin plays extremely well defensively but its offense doesn’t have the firepower needed to keep pace. At some point, the Badgers' defense will be on the field longer than expected, and look for Penn State to capitalize. Penn State and Trace McSorley have surprised many this season - and Saquon Barkley is always an option for the Lions offense. His 15 rushing TDs and 5.3 YPC is more than enough to shake any team lined up looking at him in the backfield. And when Barkley has the ball, he can make plays - simple as that. Barkley has put together 7 games with 80+ YDs on the ground - including two games of 200 or more. Different story vs a team that has had a lockdown on running games all season long. PSU knows that when Barkley has the ball - he is very hard to stop with the ball is in the hands, and the Lions will try and get him touches. But it won't be enough. Penn St has won 8 straight and Wisconsin has relied on forcing turnovers the second half of the season, with a +11 margin the past four games. Penn St rarely turns the ball over and I'll take the Red Hot Nittany Lions here on Saturday night plus the points. 10* |

The Denver Nuggets, coming off a tough loss at home to the Miami Heat, play host to the Houston Rockets who are coming off a double overtime win last night in Oakland over the Golden State Warriors. Now they are tired and have to play in high altitude in Denver. The Denver Nuggets are sneakily sitting at 7-11 on the season and while that is obviously not a sterling record, it shows that this team is capable of getting wins on a nightly basis. The Nuggets are starting to get healthy right now and even though they don’t play much defense the pace they play is really going to help them in this game as Houston is going to be completely exhausted after their marathon win last night. Take Denver to get the win and cover at home as the Rockets are really going to be too tired to even really play and with Harden really providing the entirety of their offense there is just no chance that he is going to play with high energy tonight. .5* |

The Washington Huskies were the talk of the town in the preseason as a dark horse candidate to win the Pac 12. Washington went on to prove their hype worthy as the Huskies stand 11-1 overall and 8-1 in conference heading into a compelling matchup against the Buffaloes. The Huskies closed things out in impressive fashion getting past Washington State on the road last week by a final of 45-17. Washington’s only loss on the year came a few weeks back at home against USC by a final of 13-26. With the division on the line, Washington played with tremendous confidence and poise in their rivalry matchup against the Cougars. In the win QB Jake Browning went on to complete 21/29 passes for 292 yards and 3 TDs to 0 INTs, while the ground game added 168 yards and 3 TDs on 35 carries. Outside of their loss against USC, Washington has looked consistently dominant in Pac 12 play including a tremendous blowout win against their rival last week. Colorado has been picking up a lot of win in conference play, but there's no question they've had a tough battle getting to this spot with a number of close calls. We like this Washington squad to close the deal as they have the better QB, defense and Special Teams. Take Washington by double digits tonight! 5* |

The Dallas Cowboys, coming off a solid Thanksgiving Day win over the Washington Redskins, and now go on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings who are coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions after a late INT by Sam Bradford. The Vikings are sitting at 6-5 on the season right now and have to be a little concerned about recent trends as they have dropped five of their last six overall. Sam Bradford seems to not be panning out in Minnesota just like he hasn’t at every stop in his career and is coming off an absolute stinker of a game against the Lions. Offensively, there is very little to like with the Vikes. Bradford can connect on short passes well, but thats about it. The Dallas Cowboys are looking like one of the best teams in the league and with two rookies leading the way for the offense you have to look a little deeper to find out why this team is playing at such an elite level. The Cowboys defense has been excellent this season and very much under the radar as the offense really gets all the credit. They play great defense in the redzone and I expect them to blitz the hell out of Bradford. Take the Cowboys to get the win and cover in this one as they are the better overall team and with the Vikings offense basically looking nonexistent this should be an easy win for Dallas here on Thursday night. The Cowboys are 9-1-1 ATS this year and I like them to get their 10th spread victory here on Thursday and get us the cash.     10* |

The Milwaukee Bucks, coming off a solid win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, go on the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets who are fresh off a shocking win over the LA Clippers but have only managed five total wins on the season. The Brooklyn Nets have had a tough way to go this season overall mostly due to their abysmal defense which is allowing a staggering 114.5 points per game. The Nets have had some injury problems this season and when they get healthy I see them being a slightly better team but even then they are not going to be threatening for a playoff spot. The Milwaukee Bucks are now sitting at 8-8 on the season and having won three of their last four overall are clearly starting to trend in a very positive direction. Milwaukee is a young and talented team and now that they are healthy and have their full roster available things are definitely looking up for this long suffering franchise. The Bucks have solid ball movement and rebounding and continue to build on the defensive end of the floor. Take the Bucks to get the win and cover here on Thursday night. 5* |

Oakland has gotten off to a great start this season standing 6-1 overall heading into this winnable matchup against one of the lesser teams in D1 basketball. Oakland loves to get out and run and this group currently ranks 33rd in the nation in scoring. We dont expect much this year from Oral Roberts this season and anything except a blowout win by the Golden Grizzlies would be a surprise in this matchup. Oakland has a nice home crowd advantage and this group has been playing well as of late. Take OAKLAND in a BLOWOUT! 5* |

Michigan laid an egg however in their recent loss on the road against South Carolina, but the Wolverines got back on track in their last contest beating Mount Saint Mary’s at home by a final of 64-47. Michigan has a lot of veteran players in their backcourt and guys like Walton and Irvin have led the team averaging 13.8 and 12.8 points per game respectively. Michigan has shown up and come to play at their highest level in some of their tougher matchups this season and their only poor performance came in a true road setting.

Josh Pastner's team is a decent squad and the former Memphis coach will take this team to new heights over due time. This is a Penn State team that is top 80 in defense, a team that lost to Duke by 10 points, lost to a good Albany team by 6 points and just beat a good George Washington team by 8 points on the road, while GT has played a very soft schedule. I'm back Penn St at home in this one. 5* |

11-29-16 | Pittsburgh +4.5 v. Maryland | Top | 73-59 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
The Pitt Panthers bring back more than enough veteran talent to make a push for the NCAA tournament this season and Pitt has opened 5-1 overall with their one defeat coming against SMU on a neutral site. The Panthers been very competitive in their tougher matchup. Veteran forward Michael Young leads the team averaging 23.3 points per game. The Maryland Terps lost a lot of veteran talent this past offseason with just 1 starter returning and it’ll be interesting to see how this reformed group continues to mature together standing 7-0 overall early on in the year. Maryland hasn’t gone against the toughest slate by any means. This should be a very competitive matchup between two teams and even with going into the road atmosphere we like for the veteran Panthers to keep things competitive enough to get the 4.5 pt cover. 5* |

11-28-16 | Packers +4 v. Eagles | Top | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
Technically both of these teams are alive in the Playoff hunt, but they’re quickly falling out of the race. Whichever team loses on Monday night might as well turn their attention to next season, and I think that team will be the Packers. At some point the Packers will start to figure it out on both sides of the ball. GB gave up 515 yards to the Redskins last Sunday so I expect them to be much better vs the Eagles.
Entering Week 12, Rodgers has completed 259 of 410 passes for 2,761 yards, 25 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, which gives him a 96 passer rating. I like the better QB in a must win game to keep their playoff hopes alive. 5* |

11-28-16 | Minnesota v. Florida State -9.5 | Top | 67-75 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
 Minnesota was tough to watch at times last season, but looked better this year with a home heavy schedule so far.  This is an FSU team that has immense talent that has gone underrated coming into this year. Leonard Hamilton is a very good coach and FSU's quality efforts in their first 6 games looked impressive. This is a team that beat Illinois by 11 who is a top 100 team, lost to Temple by just 3 points and beat two decent teams in Iona and Winthrop. Outside of the Arkansas win, Minnesota has struggled to show quality defensive efforts. Florida State has a deep roster, but the scoring has been concentrated at the top with Dwayne Bacon leading the way averaging 18.2 points per game. Florida State gets this one at home behind a strong home court advantage and we like for the Seminoles to play up to their potential in Tallahassee as they go on to a big win tonight! 5* |

Houston is on a short week having played in Mexico on MNF. San Diego is well rested coming off of their BYE week. SD has the much better QB this game with Rivers and he is coming off a loss and one of the worst games he played in a while throwing 4 INT's.  All 6 of San Diego’s losses were one possession games. Texans are only averaging 4.7 yards per play, which is the 2nd worst in the league. San Diego comes in prepared, rested and they get the WIN on there road here.. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK! |

11-27-16 | Cardinals v. Falcons -4 | Top | 19-38 | Win | 100 | 13 h 15 m | Show |
5* The most impressive thing is that Atlanta has found a way to win in every way possible, with running the ball, attacking the QB, and even their special teams game. Atlanta has an offense that is virtually impossible to defend. The Falcons off a BYE and of course are one of the league's premier offenses, leading the league in points scored and net yards per attempt. At home, I think they'll be able to handle a good Arizona defense that hasn't been tested all that much this year. Carson Palmer has struggled this year and we have a west coast team playing early and the Falcons are rested. Cardinals are 1-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record Take ATLANTA at home as Julio Jones has a monster game here. |

11-26-16 | Florida +7.5 v. Florida State | Top | 13-31 | Loss | -108 | 27 h 18 m | Show |
Last week, the Gators went into Baton Rouge and upset #16 LSU with the help of a defensive stand at the goal line in the waning seconds of the game. The win not only clinched the Gators into the SEC Championship Game but it also sent a clear message that they can compete with any team in the nation. However despite the struggles, injuries, and inconsistencies, the Florida Gators have remained resilient with an 8-2 SU mark on the season. A large part of that success can be accredited to the Florida defense that has yielded just 282 total yards per game which ranks 5th in the FBS. In fact if you throw out the loss to Arkansas, you could make the case that Florida has been hottest team in the SEC and perhaps one of the hottest teams in the country during the 2nd half of the college football season.

11-26-16 | Texas-Arlington +2.5 v. Fordham | Top | 67-63 | Win | 100 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
THis Texas Arlington team is 3-3 but they are a solid team. They've played some big schools while Fordham played a cupcake schedule so far. The public just assumes that the 5 win team is better than the 3 win team. But, take a closer look, Texas Arlington has faced the likes of Minnesota, Florida Gulf Coast (a top 100 team and Arkansas (only lost by 4 points). Hence, this is a great chance for Texas Arlington who did not play particularly well against Mount St. Mary's to really focus and get a big win here over Fordham. Texas Arl has 5 players averaging 9 points or more and give a balanced attack. |

11-26-16 | Rutgers v. Maryland -14 | Top | 13-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 48 m | Show |
I’ve seen the Terps play live against Michigan State and came away highly impressed with their ability to run the ball and create turnovers. I've seen Rutgers play as well and they are bad. They've lost four games this season by scores of 39-0, 49-0, 58-0, and 78-0. As you can see once they fall behind they give up. RU has major issues on offense, in all three facets: passing, rushing and blocking. 5* |

11-25-16 | Arizona State -1 v. Arizona | Top | 35-56 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
This matchup should help the Sun Devils get their passing game rolling. They have the better offense and a win here gets them into a Bowl game. I expect the Arizona Wildcats, on the other hand, to spend most of this one in their own territory, as they have not shown the ability to overcome pressure. Back ASU to snap its five-game skid and cover and get the win here on Friday night. Play on ARIZONA St. 5* |

11-25-16 | Mercer -2.5 v. East Carolina | Top | 70-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
We roll with Mercer here as they hook up against East Carolina. Bob Hoffman is the same coach that took down Duke a couple years ago in the NCAAB Tournament. He has been a long-term installment at Mercer Basketball after the exit of Mark Slonaker - who was actually named Coach of the Year at one point. The Bears come off a 11 point win over Radford where they played horrendously. They could have just been looking forward to this game which is likely the case. They have played some big named schools over the years and have done very well as there is no intimidation factor as they roll into East Carolina. This team did not play well in their last game despite the win and East Carolina has not faced a quality caliber team in the top 160 like Mercer. The only team they played similar was Charlotte who they lost to by 12 points. I'm backing Mercer here on the road on Friday evening. 5* |
