12-28-20 | Colorado v. Arizona | 74-88 | Win | 100 | 29 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Arizona. In the past 10 head to head meetings between the Buffaloes and the Wildcats, the home team has won ALL 10 GAMES! The Wildcats have won 19 of their last 23 home games, while the Buffaloes have lost eight of their last 13 on the road. The Buffaloes are 13-39 ATS in their last 52 road games, and they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. Home court should be huge here, as the home team has also covered in four straight meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-28-20 | Rockets v. Nuggets -7.5 | 111-124 | Win | 100 | 28 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets won 26 games at home last year, one fewer than the LA Clippers who had the best home record in the Western Conference. This came after winning 34 home games (NBA best) the previous season. Now they have started the season with back to back home losses, and they host a shorthanded Houston team on Monday. James Harden wants a trade, but he scored 44 points in the season opener almost beating the Blazers in Portland. If he continues to put up MVP numbers, the Rockets might not be in a hurry to get a deal done. I wouldn't want to count on getting 100% from Harden moving forward, and with Ben Gordon, DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall out of the lineup, it's going to be tough to ask them to hang in there in Denver. The Rockets are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games, and the Nuggets are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Bears -7 v. Jaguars | 41-17 | Win | 100 | 17 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Chicago. The Bears now have their destiny in their own hands with a chance to make the playoffs if they run the table and win their final two games. They aren't likely to face much resistance here in Jacksonville, as the Jags are currently winning the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. Leading rusher James Robinson won't play for the Jags, sitting out with an ankle injury. They will have their 3rd string quarterback (Mike Glennon) under center, and he's thrown three INTs and just one TD pass in his last two appearances. Mitch Trubisky has the Bears offense firing on all cylinders, scoring 30+ points in three straight games. This should be a blowout. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Raptors v. Spurs +1.5 | 114-119 | Win | 100 | 30 h 35 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the San Antonio Spurs. The Toronto Raptors are homeless vagabonds here as we head into 2021. They have been banished from their Kingdom in the North, and forced to relocate in Tampa Florida. Their first game in their new home was a loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, and now they are asked to win and cover as a road favorite in San Antonio. Prior to last season the Spurs had owned the best home record in basketball for almost a decade. They might be a lot better this season, and they got off to a good start with a win on the road at Memphis. The Raptors are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings in San Antonio, and they have failed to cover in seven of their last eight against the Spurs. They are 0-4 ATS in their last four as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Dolphins v. Raiders +3 | 26-25 | Win | 100 | 43 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Raiders. The Dolphins will be a favorite in Las Vegas, but the Raiders have been competitive even in games that they have lost. Marcus Mariota stepped in to replace Derek Carr last week, and he threw for 226 yards with a TD and an INT on 17-of-28 passing. Whoever is at QB for the Raiders, offense isn't expected to be a problem. It's defense that has been the concern for the Raiders, who have allowed over 30 points per game this season. Tua Tagovailoa has only played twice on the road this season, in a loss at Denver and a three point win over Arizona. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Virginia v. Gonzaga -7 | 75-98 | Win | 100 | 25 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are the undisputed #1 team in the country, and they haven't had any trouble so far when playing quality opponents. They have wins over Iowa, West Virginia and Kansas by an average margin of nine points. Virginia has yet to play a ranked team, and they have failed to impress against lesser opponents. The lost to San Francisco, and came close to losing to Kent State in a game that was decided in overtime. The Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last five neutral site games as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Vikings +7.5 v. Saints | 33-52 | Loss | -135 | 42 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on the Vikings. Despite the fact that the Saints have been the better team in recent seasons, the Vikings have had their number. Minnesota is 3-1 straight up in the last four head to head meetings versus New Orleans, and two of the last three games were decided by less than a TD. Minnesota has had a tough season, but they have scored plenty of points. They are 5-3 in their last eight overall, and only once during that span did they lose by seven or more points. The Saints have struggled lately, coming off back to back losses. The Vikings are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in New Orleans, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five on the road. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Maryland v. Purdue -5 | 70-73 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Boilermakers. Purdue is coming off a 70-55 loss at Iowa, but I like their chances of bouncing back at home against Maryland. The Boilermakers have won 16 of their last 22 home games, while the Terps are 5-7 in their last 12 road games. The Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall, and they haven't covered in four straight road games. Maryland is 5-2 with losses to Rutgers and Clemson, and all five of their wins came against inferior opposition. This looks like a tough ask for the visitors on Christmas Day. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Pelicans +5.5 v. Heat | 98-111 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Pelicans. New Orleans started the season with a win on the road versus the Raptors. Zion Williamson only scored 15 points in 30 minutes, but he was quite efficient shooting 7-of-9 from the field and pulling in 10 rebounds. Brandon Ingram lead the way, scoring 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting. This is a young team that is on the rise, coming off an undefeated pre-season. The Heat are coming off a 113-107 loss at Orlando in their opener, and they may be suffering an NBA Finals let down. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Florida Atlantic v. Memphis -8 | 10-25 | Win | 100 | 20 h 46 m | Show | |
8* |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Central Florida +6.5 v. BYU | 23-49 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on UCF. The Cougars season ended in disappointment, as their playoff hopes went up in smoke when they lost at Coastal Carolina a few weeks ago. They followed up with a win over San Diego State at home, but they come into the Boca Raton Bowl with an 0-8 record in the state of Florida. They face a tough opponent in Central Florida. The Knights lost three games this year, but losses to Memphis and Cincinnati came by a combined four points. They ranked fourth in the country in scoring averaging 44 points per game. The Knights are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog, and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six non-conference games. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Seahawks v. Washington Football Team +4.5 | 20-15 | Loss | -110 | 157 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Redskins. Washington has a chance to win the NFC East, and a home win over Seattle would keep them in the driver's seat. The Seahawks have recently lost to another NFC East team, losing at home to the Giants by a score of 17-12. Washington is 5-2 in their last seven overall, and both losses during that span came by three points. The Seahawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games, and they are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games as a road favorite. The Redskins are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Lions v. Titans -8 | 25-46 | Win | 100 | 156 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Tennessee. The Titans are in a dog fight with the Colts for first place in the division, and they face another must win this week against Detroit. The Lions are a mess, coming in as losers of three of their last four. Matthew Stafford is playing through a rib injury, and he's been sacked 15 times in his last four starts. He may be just one hit away from a season ending injury. The Titans have won and covered in each of their last three meetings versus the Lions. Derrick Henry ran for over 200 yards in a win over Jacksonville last week, and he should have a big day against a Lions defense that struggles against the run. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Illinois v. Rutgers +2 | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights will be a home dog Sunday against Illinois, and Rutgers has won 22 of their last 23 home games. Illinois on the other had is 7-7 on the road dating back to the beginning of last year. Rutgers won the last meeting by 15 points last February, and the home team has won seven of the last nine head to head meetings. The Scarlet Knights are 12-5-2 ATS in their last 19 home games, and they are 22-8-2 ATS in their last 32 games versus a team with a winning record. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-19-20 | Alabama v. Florida +14.5 | Top | 52-46 | Win | 100 | 239 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Florida. After the Gators lost to LSU last week, nobody is giving them a chance here in the SEC Championship against Alabama. It was obvious that the Gators were not prepared last week, probably already looking ahead to this game. I expect them to be better this week, and I think that this is a team well designed to cause problems for Alabama. If you look at the teams that have beaten Alabama in recent seasons (Clemson, Ole Miss, Texas A&M) they all had a gunslinger at QB. The only time Alabama didn't look like they were in complete control in a game this season was when they allowed 48 points in a win over Ole Miss. As much as Nick Saban will want to win this game, his team is in the playoffs either way. I like the Gators to score enough points to keep this game relatively close. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-19-20 | Bills v. Broncos +5.5 | 48-19 | Loss | -110 | 140 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on Denver. I had Buffalo in their big win over Pittsburgh last week, but I think they come into Denver a little overvalued. This is a potential let down for a team that is on top of the world right now, and Denver hasn't been an easy opponent. While they are just 2-2 in their last four games, one of those losses came at home against the Saints when they were forced to play without a quarterback. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings between these teams. Drew Lock is coming off an outstanding performance in Carolina, throwing for 280 yards and 4 TDs on 21-of-27 passing. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-19-20 | Purdue v. Notre Dame +6 | 88-78 | Loss | -107 | 16 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Notre Dame. Purdue comes into Saturday's game with a 5-2 record, and both of their losses came against ACC teams. The Irish are 2-3, but all three of their losses came against Top 25 teams. Notre Dame has won three of their last four against Purdue, with the lone loss coming at Purdue by a five point margin. The Fighting Irish are 4-1 ATS in their last five neutral site games, while the Boilermakers are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games overall. I'll take the points here in a game that I expect to be pretty close. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-18-20 | Ball State v. Buffalo -13 | 38-28 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Buffalo. The Bulls are by far the best team in the MAC, coming into the championship game with a perfect 5-0 record. It's not just that they won all their games, but they won them all by at least 19 points. Ball State is 5-1, but their one loss came against Miami-Ohio, a team that lost to Buffalo by 32 points. The Bulls are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 conference game, and they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-17-20 | St. Joe's +2.5 v. Drexel | 77-81 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on St. Joes. The Hawks are 0-2, with losses to Kansas and Auburn. They will be looking for their first win of the season here against a Drexel team that they have won six straight against dating back to 2011. Drexel is coming off a double digit home loss to La Salle. Ryan Daly was the Hawks leading scorer averaging over 20 points per game last year. Taylor Funk only played seven games, but he was third on the team in scoring. Both players are back in 2021, and the Hawks should be stronger than they were last year. Each of the last three meetings have been close games decided by three points or less, with the last two meetings decided by a single point. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-16-20 | TCU v. Oklahoma State -5 | 77-76 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Oklahoma State Cowboys. |
|||||||
12-16-20 | Tottenham Hotspur +0.5 v. Liverpool | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Spurs +0.5. Jose Mourino has downplayed the fact that Spurs are sitting in first place in the Premier League, and that Liverpool has been hit hard by injuries. "Van Dijk is injured and he is a very good player of course, but give me Liverpool's list of injuries and compare with a list of Liverpool's best team," said Mourinho. "I can give you a list of 10 injuries at Tottenham." Pay no attention to those remarks, that is just coachspeak. Both these teams have more draws than wins over their last five matches, and Mourino likes his chances of at least earning a draw here at Anfield. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-14-20 | Ravens v. Browns +3 | 47-42 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 31 m | Show | |
5* |
|||||||
12-13-20 | Steelers v. Bills -1 | Top | 15-26 | Win | 100 | 48 h 24 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers perfect record went up in smoke in last week's loss to the Redskins, and playing on the road in Buffalo this week looks like a let down spot for a Steelers team that is a little banged up. With an 11-1 record the Steelers can afford to be complacent, and they might not be able to match the intensity of a hungry Buffalo team. The Steelers are 0-5 ATS in their last five games in December, while the Bills are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-13-20 | Broncos +3.5 v. Panthers | 32-27 | Win | 100 | 60 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Broncos. The Broncos are likely a better team than their 4-0 record would indicate. That certainly appeared to be the case last week in a one-score game against Kansas City. The previous week they played without a quarterback against the Saints. Now they are on the road against a banged up Panthers team who's best player will not suit up. The Broncos are getting healthier, and they are hungry for a win. The Panthers are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Seattle Sounders FC v. Columbus | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -125 | 23 h 60 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Seattle. The Sounders are the defending champions, and they are coming off an impressive win in their Semi Final match versus Minnesota. After a disallowed goal, they found themselves trailing with just a minute remaining in regulation. After scoring the equalizer in the 89th minute, they got the game winner in the third minute of extra time. Columbus has had an outstanding season, but with a pair of key midfielders set to miss the Final, they are at a disadvantage. Seattle may also find an advantage in set pieces, as they ranked second in the MLS in scoring off such plays. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Virginia +3 v. Virginia Tech | 15-33 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Virginia. The Hokies are a small favorite at home versus rivals Virginia, but I like the underdog here. The Hokies have lost three of five home games this year, including an upset loss to Liberty. They have been plagued by injuries at the QB position, and their defense is ranked among the worst in the ACC. Virginia has won four straight, including a 44-41 upset win over North Carolina. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as an underdog, and the underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Hokies are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Alabama v. Clemson +1 | 56-64 | Win | 100 | 16 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Clemson. I had Clemson in their season opener, and here is what I said prior to tip off: "Clemson finished just one game over .500 last season (16-15 overall) and they finished in the middle of the pack in the ACC. They might be a little better this season, returning three of their top four scorers, including leading scorer Aamir Simms." They ended up beating Mississippi State by a score of 53-42, and come into today's game against Alabama with a 4-0 record. The Crimson Tide are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games overall, while the Tigers have covered in five straight at a neutral site. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-12-20 | Oregon -7 v. Washington | 74-71 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 0 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Oregon. The Huskies finished dead last in the PAC12 last year and they come into tonight's hoime game against the Ducks with just one win in four games. The Ducks lost their opener to Missouri, but have since won three straight. Oregon has won nine of their last 10 against the Huskies straight up, and they are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 against teams with a losing record (below .400). There have been a lot of people asking questions about why they should even play college basketball at a time like this, and it's likely the Huskies will be a lot less enthusiastic about playing than a Ducks team with a lot more to play for. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-11-20 | West Ham United +0.5 v. Leeds United | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on West Ham. West Ham will be an underdog on the road this week, despite sitting in the top half of the table in the Premier League. They face Leeds, a team ranked 14th with an overall record of 4-2-5 with a -4 goal differential. The Hammers are coming off a 3-1 loss to Manchester United, in a match that they were leading 1-0 at halftime. Leeds has just one win in five home matches this season, and they've played to a draw in three of their last four matches versus West Ham. The visitors are expected to field a stronger side, and I fancy their chances of coming away with at least a draw. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-10-20 | North Dakota State +9 v. South Dakota State | 75-77 | Win | 100 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on North Dakota State. |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Syracuse +4 v. Rutgers | 69-79 | Loss | -106 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Syracuse. The Orange are 3-0, but they will be an underdog at Rutgers tonight. The Scarlet Knights are a team on the rise, but they haven't had any success in recent meetings versus the Orange. Syracuse is 8-0 straight up in the last eight head to head meetings dating back to 2007. The Orange are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games, and they have covered in six of their last seven as a road underdog. I think the Orange are too good of a team to be getting this many points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Ohio State v. Notre Dame +5.5 | 90-85 | Win | 100 | 16 h 16 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Notre Dame. Notre Dame lost it's season opener by a 10-point margin on the road at #13 ranked Michigan State, but I am not sure I would ask #22 ranked Ohio State to come into South Bend and cover a big spread. The Buckeyes are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games versus a team with a winning home record. The Irish were 15-4 at South Bend last year, despite playing the likes of Louisville, Florida State and North Carolina. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Boston College +7.5 v. Minnesota | 80-85 | Win | 100 | 16 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Boston College. The Eagles have lost three of their first four games, but two of those losses came in close games against tough teams. They lost their opener by single digits versus #3 ranked Villanova, and then lost by just four points in a shootout versus St. Johns. I don't expect an unranked Minnesota team to win here by double digits. The Golden Gophers are 1-5-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-07-20 | Washington Football Team +7 v. Steelers | 23-17 | Win | 100 | 17 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Washington. The Steelers are the only undefeated team in the NFL, putting their 11-0 record to the test t home versus Washington on Monday Night Football. While Pittsburgh is coming off another win over the Ravens, they barely held on against an undermanned Baltimore team with RGIII at QB. The Redskins have won three of their last five, and both losses during that span came by just three points. The Steelers win over the Ravens was a costly one, losing OLB Bud Dupree to a knee injury. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Raiders -7.5 v. Jets | 31-28 | Loss | -110 | 130 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Raiders. Las Vegas is coming off a historically bad loss, losing 43-6 at Atlanta after scoring 31 points in a game that they nearly won at home versus Kansas City. If they are looking for a team to beat up on they have the right opponent in the lowly New York Jets. The Raiders are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games, and they 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. The Jets are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog, and they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Jets are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Indiana +14.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 14-6 | Win | 100 | 61 h 25 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Indiana. The Hoosiers have only lost once, in a game that was decided on the final play on the road at Ohio State. Last week their starting QB Michael Penix Jr. was lost for the season with a serious injury, and that has resulted in the line for this week's game at Wisconsin swelling to a whopping 14.5 points. This game was never expected to be a shootout, with the emphasis always going to be defense and pounding away with the running game. Wisconsin scored just seven points last week in a loss to Northwestern, and QB Graham Mertz threw for 230 yards, a TD and three INTs in a losing effort. After completing 20-of-21 pass attempts in the season opener, he's failed to complete 55% of his attempts since. The Hoosiers are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as a road underdog, and they are 6-0 ATS in their last six conference games. GL, Jesse Schule |

12-03-20 | Air Force -11 v. Utah State | 35-7 | Win | 100 | 21 h 60 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Air Force. |

12-03-20 | Connecticut v. USC +1 | 61-58 | Loss | -100 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on USC. |

12-03-20 | Celtic v. AC Milan -1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
5* |
|||||||
12-02-20 | Ravens +10.5 v. Steelers | 14-19 | Win | 100 | 16 h 7 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Baltimore. This drama has turned into quite a sh!t sh@w, but over the years we have learned that in the NFL anything can happen. Lamar Jackson (the reigning MVP) will not play, but I have never been a fan. I am not a believer in RGIII either, but the line swelling to double digits has tempted me to gamble on the Ravens to make it interesting. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
12-01-20 | Michigan State +4 v. Duke | 75-69 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on MSU. Duke is loaded with freshman talent, but lacks experience early in the season. This was quite evident in their opening game against Coppin State. They turned the ball over a whopping 22 times, failing to cover as a 30-point favorite in an 81-71 win. The Spartans lost a lot of star power from last year's squad (Cassius Winston and Xavier Tillman), but Rocket Watson and Aaron Henry are back, and the addition of Joey Hauser gives them plenty of experience in their starting five. The Spartans are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as an underdog, and the underdog is 4-0 in the last four head to head meetings between these teams. I think it's to early in the year to back Duke's freshman as favorites. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-30-20 | Seahawks -6 v. Eagles | 23-17 | Push | 0 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Seattle. The Seahawks defense has struggled all season, but the return of corner Shaq Griffin and the addition of defensive end Carlos Dunlap should help them continue to improve. They looked pretty sharp last week in a 28-21 home win over Arizona. The Eagles have looked downright awful, even in the handful of games they won. Carson Wentz has thrown as many INTs (14) as he has TDs, and his future as the starter is in doubt. The Seahawks are 6-0 ATS in their last six versus the Eagles, and they have covered in five straight in Philly. This looks like a tough spot for the home team. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-29-20 | 49ers v. Rams -6.5 | 23-20 | Loss | -103 | 18 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LAR. The 49ers are still dealing with a ton of injuries, while the Rams are in a position to move out in front in the NFC West. LA is undefeated at home, and Jared Goff has thrown for over 300 yards in three straight starts. LA has the NFL's #1 ranked defense, and only Pittsburgh has allowed less points. Nick Mullen will start in place of Jimmy Garropolo and he's thrown as many INTs (6 ) as TDs in his five starts. The Rams pass rushers are going to put a lot of pressure on the young quarterback, and my money is on him to make mistakes. The Rams are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games as a favorite, and they are 6-1-1 in their last eight games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-29-20 | Giants -5.5 v. Bengals | 19-17 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on NYG. The Giants have won back to back games, and Daniel Jones has done a better job of protecting the football. The Bengals are still reeling from the loss of Joe Burrow, and they will turn to Brandon Allen this week. The 28 year old appeared in three games last year, throwing for 515 yards, three TDs and two INTs on 46 percent passing. The Giants are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games, and they are Giants are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 versus teams with a losing record. I expect an inexperienced Cincinnati quarterback to struggle against a capable Giants defense. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-28-20 | Penn State v. Michigan +1 | 27-17 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Michigan. The Wolverines will host Penn State in a battle between the two most disappointing teams in the BIG10 on Saturday. Only one of these teams has a chance to salvage a sliver of self respect, and that's Michigan. With a win today, they would move to 3-3 while the Nittany Lions would be 0-7. Last week Cade McNamara stepped up and threw for 260 yards and four TDs on 26-of-37 passing. Sean Clifford has thrown as many INTs (5) as TDs in his last three appearances, and his backup has as many picks (4) as TDs so far this season. The Nittany Lions are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings, and the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-28-20 | Maryland v. Indiana -11.5 | 11-27 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Indiana. The Hoosiers are coming off a their first loss of the season, pushing the Buckeyes to the brink in Columbus. They forced Justin Fields to throw a pair of INTs, and quarterback Michael Penix threw for 491 yards and five TDs in a losing effort. This might look like a let down spot coming back home as a double digit favorite against Maryland, but I expect Indiana to make a statement here. The Terrapins are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog, and they are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games. The Hoosiers are 6-0 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-27-20 | Nebraska v. Iowa -13.5 | 20-26 | Loss | -112 | 107 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Iowa. Nebraska is coming odd a double digit loss at home to Illinois, and the are 1-3 on the season. Their only win came against an 0-4 Penn State team, and now they play on the road at Iowa. The Hawkeyes have won three straight games, all by 20+ points. The Cornhuskers are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 conference games, and they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. The Hawkeyes have covered in seven of their last 10 home games against teams with a losing record. I like Iowa to win big. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-25-20 | Clemson -4 v. Mississippi State | 53-42 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Clemson Tigers. Clemson finished just one game over .500 last season (16-15 overall) and they finished in the middle of the pack in the ACC. They might be a little better this season, returning three of their top four scorers, including leading scorer Aamir Simms. The Bulldogs aren't as fortunate. They had four starters score in double figures last season, and they lost all four of them. The Tigers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 neutral site games. The Bulldogs are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine neutral site games as an underdog. This Clemson team was good enough last season to get wins against the likes of Duke, North Carolina, Louisville and Florida State. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-23-20 | Rams +3.5 v. Bucs | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 166 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Rams. The Rams are in a battle with Seattle for first place in the NFC West, and a win tonight in Tampa would put them level with the Seahawks. The Rams have lost two of their last three road games, but Tampa has lost two of three prime-time games this season. Tom Brady threw for just 209 yards and three INTs on 22-of-38 passing in a 38-3 loss to the Saints in their last home game. They face a tough defense tonight that ranks 1st in yards allowed, 2nd in points allowed, and 1st against the pass. The Buccaneers are 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 games as a home favorite, and they are 2-8-2 ATS in their last 12 home games. I don't think they should be favored by more than a field goal. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-22-20 | Chiefs -7 v. Raiders | 35-31 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Kansas City. The Chiefs only loss this season was in a shootout, 40-32 versus Las Vegas. The come into Sin City looking for revenge. Oakland is going to have a tough time scoring 40 here this week. The Raiders defense has bit hit hard by illness, and several key players have been on and off the Covid list. The Chiefs are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite, and the Raiders are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. You can tell by Andy Reid's comments that he isn't forgetting what happened earlier in the year: “Well, listen,” Reid said, “they won the game, so they can do anything they want to do if they end up winning the game. That's not our style, but we'll get ourselves back, ready to play, and that's where we're at.” GL, Jesse Scule |

11-22-20 | Leicester +0.5 v. Liverpool | 0-3 | Loss | -105 | 155 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Leicester +0.5. Defending champions Liverpool currently sit just one point out of first place after just eight matches, but injuries threaten to derail their title defense. As of mid November, their entire starting defense is out, as is Mo Salah, Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alacantara and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain. Surely we expect Liverpool to drop points over the next few weeks, without any experienced defenders and striker Mo Salah unable to even return to England after getting Covid in Egypt. When he returns to the UK he will then need to be quarantined for 10 days. This opens the door for the likes of Spurs, Manchester City, Leicester and Chelsea. Leicester currently sits in first place, and they have won five straight matches. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-22-20 | Eagles v. Browns -2 | Top | 17-22 | Win | 100 | 202 h 22 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has run over it's opponents this season, and last week they ran for 231 yards in a 10-7 win over Houston. The final score is a little misleading, as Cleveland never trailed in the game, and only allowed a late touchdown when the game was already out of reach. Nick Chubb wisely passed on a potential TD at the end of the game, allowing the Browns to kneel and run out the clock. The Eagles gave up over 150 yards and three rushing TDs in a loss to the Giants last week, and they have to be having second thoughts about the future of Carson Wentz. Baker Mayfield has his fair share of critics, but so far this season he has a higher QBR (71.4) than Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson and Phillip Rivers. He's within a few decimal points of Tom Brady (71.8). The recipe for success in Cleveland is less is more for Baker Mayfield. Expect that trend to continue and the Browns to run all over Philly in Week 11. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-22-20 | Lions +3 v. Panthers | 0-20 | Loss | -115 | 135 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Lions. While the status of both starting quarterbacks is up in the air, it seems that asking Carolina to cover points here might be a tough ask. Christian McCaffrey came back from injury to play against the Chiefs, but he picked up a shoulder injury that will prevent him from playing against the Lions. The Panthers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine home games, and they have failed to cover in five of their last six versus a team with a losing record. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-21-20 | Tennessee v. Auburn -10 | 17-30 | Win | 100 | 18 h 48 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Auburn Tigers. The Vols have lost four straight, and all three of those losses came by a double digit margin. Three of those four losses came by more than 20 points. Jarrett Guarantano left the last game with an injury, and Harrison Bailey came in and threw for 65 yards and two INTs on 6-of-9 passing. Jeremy Pruit won't say who is starting for the Vols, but whoever plays quarterback will struggle against this Auburn defense. The Tigers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games, and they are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games as a favorite. I like Auburn to win by two scores. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-16-20 | Vikings v. Bears +3.5 | 19-13 | Loss | -120 | 31 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Bears. Chicago won five of their first six games of the season, but most of us believed they were vastly overrated. They have since lost three straight, and now they find themselves as a home dog against Kirk Cousins and the Vikings. The Vikes are just 3-5, and Kirk Cousins is 0-9 on Monday Night Football. I think it's fair to say that the Bears are not getting enough respect here. Minnesota has won back to back games and Dalvin Cook has run for 369 yards and five TDs in those wins. He might have some trouble putting up those kind of numbers against this Bears defense. Chicago beat the Vikings twice last year, and Cook ran for just 34 yards on 14 carries playing in only one of the two losses. The Bears are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 games as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-15-20 | Eagles v. Giants +3.5 | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 108 h 31 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on NYG. The Giants have now played five consecutive games decided by three points or less, including a 22-21 loss at Philly. I am not sure the Eagles deserve to be a road favorite in New York, but I am quite certain that 3.5 points is just too much to ask for a team with as many injuries as Philly. Carson Wentz has thrown for as many INTs (12) as TDs, and he leads the NFL in giveaways. The offensive line is struggling, and the receiving corps is made up of practice squad players. The Giants are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as an underdog, and they are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 14 versus teams with a losing record. These teams have a history of playing close games, with only two of the last 10 meetings decided by more than one score. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-14-20 | Arkansas +17.5 v. Florida | 35-63 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 46 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Arkansas. I had a big play on Florida last week, so I was happy to see them blow out Georgia in the Cocktail Party. The big win could set them up for a let down here against a gritty Arkansas team though. The Razorbacks already have lost close games to Auburn and Texas A&M. Unlike Georgia, this Arkansas offense has no trouble scoring points. They scored 31 on the Aggies, and 28 against Auburn. I don't think Florida's defense is good enough for them to be asked to win this game by three scores. The Razorbacks are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog, and they have covered the spread in eight straight SEC games. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-11-20 | Central Michigan v. Northern Illinois +8 | 40-10 | Loss | -108 | 20 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Northern Illinois. The Huskies lost their season opener at home to Buffalo by a score of 49-30. While the final score suggests the game wasn't close, the Huskies actually had more total yards, more time of possession and almost twice as many first downs. Despite five turnovers, they still scored 30 points on a tough Buffalo defense. Central Michigan opened the season with a three-point win over Ohio, and they are asked to cover a big spread on the road here in Dekalb. History tells us we might want to think twice about backing the favorite, as the underdog has covered in six straight meetings between these teams. The home team is 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 meetings. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-08-20 | Dolphins v. Cardinals -4.5 | 34-31 | Loss | -105 | 135 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Cardinals. Miami could be due for a let down coming off a big upset win over the Rams last week. That win was a little fraudulent. The Rams out-gained Miami 471-145 in total yards, but the Fish took advantage of four Rams turnovers. They can't count on winning the turnover battle here against an opportunistic Cardinals defense. The Dolphins are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games versus a team with a winning home record. The Cardinals are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-08-20 | Steelers -13.5 v. Cowboys | 24-19 | Loss | -110 | 111 h 31 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Steelers. The Steelers are a huge favorite against Dallas on Sunday, and all those points can be intimidating. While it might look to easy betting on the undefeated Steelers to beat up on the Cowboys and their third or fourth string QB, but I just can't see it any other way. Dallas ranks dead last in run defense allowing over 170 rushing yards per game, and James Conner should be primed to fill the stat sheet. The Cowboys would surely like to run the ball to take the heat off their inexperienced QB, but they are up against a Steel Curtain than ranks #1 against the run. I like Pittsburgh to win by at least three scores. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-07-20 | Clemson v. Notre Dame +6 | Top | 40-47 | Win | 100 | 55 h 48 m | Show |
This is an 8* play on the Notre Dame Irish. The Irish have had plenty of chances to prove themselves as an elite team, and time and time again they have failed. Their last appearance in the playoffs was a 30-3 loss to Clemson two years ago, and Trevor Lawrence threw for 327 yards and three TDs in that game. Ian Book didn't have a great game, throwing for just 160 yards, completing just 50 percent of his passes with an INT. Book is now a Senior, and he's having himself a solid season. Clemson almost lost to Boston College last week with Trevor Lawrence sidelined by Covid. This is a tough spot to ask the Tigers to cover points on the road, and a golden opportunity for an improved Notre Dame team. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-07-20 | Florida +3.5 v. Georgia | Top | 44-28 | Win | 100 | 51 h 0 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Florida. The Gators will be an underdog versus Georgia in The Cocktail Party in Jacksonville. Georgia looks like a powerhouse, but their offense has held them back. Stetson Bennett has thrown more picks (5) than TDs (2) in his last two starts, and the Bulldogs scored just 38 points in those games. Florida on the other hand has been a well-oiled machine on offense, averaging 42 points per game. Kyle Trask has thrown for 18 TDs and just two INTs this season. The Bulldogs are very good defensively, but I am not sure they can overcome such a disadvantage at the quarterback position. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-07-20 | Michigan v. Indiana +3.5 | 21-38 | Win | 100 | 48 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Indiana. The last thing you would want to do is overreact to Michigan's loss to Michigan State last week. After all it was a big rivalry game, and the Spartans have upset the Wolverines many times in the past. This isn't just one bad game though, this is a history of failure in big games under head coach Jim Harbaugh. They are on the road at Indiana this week, and this a team that they have struggled with in the past. Michigan has only covered in one of the last five meetings versus Indiana. The Hoosiers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog, and the Wolverines are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-07-20 | Arizona State +11 v. USC | 27-28 | Win | 100 | 20 h 43 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Arizona State. The Trojans will be a double digit favorite in their season opener versus Arizona State, and hell why not? They have the more talented recruits, the bigger budget and all the star power. The Trojans are ranked and the Sun Devils are not, but that's nothing new. It was the same story last year and the year before, and those two games were decided by a combined eight points. I give Arizona State the edge in coaching with Herm Edwards, and the Sun Devils are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Southern California. I think it's just too many points, too early in the season for the Trojans to cover. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-07-20 | Manchester United v. Everton +0.25 | 3-1 | Loss | -117 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Everton. Manchester United comes into Goodison Park as a favorite, despite the fact that they are closer to relegation than they are to competing for a top spot in the Premier League. They are coming off a 2-1 loss to Istanbul in the Champions League mid week, and they haven't scored a single goal in their last two Premier League matches. Everton is just three points out of first place in the Premier League, and they have won all their home games so far this season. Midfielder James Rodriguez will return to the lineup to face Manchester United, giving Everton a boost. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-02-20 | Bucs -12 v. Giants | 25-23 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the TB Bucs. The Giants simply don't have the weapons to match Tampa Bay, so their best bet would be to run the ball and try to limit time of possession for Tom Brady. The problem is that they are so banged up at the running back position and on the offensive line that running against the Bucs #1 ranked defense might be impossible. I expect a lot of 3-and-outs for the Gmen, leading to a lot of possession time for the Bucs to run up the score. Tom Brady threw for 369 yards and four TDs in a win over Vegas last week, and Chris Godwin caught nine passes for 88 yards and a TD in the win. With Godwin out of the lineup, Mike Evans should get more touches. In the three games that Godwin has missed this year, Evans has scored in all three. Most recently he caught seven passes for 122 yards and a TD against the Chargers in Week 5. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
11-01-20 | Vikings v. Packers -7 | 28-22 | Loss | -109 | 162 h 27 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Packers. The Vikings have been hit hard by injuries, and with a record of 1-5 they have already started selling off players. They opened the season with a 43-34 home loss to Green Bay, and Davante Adams caught 14 passes for 156 yards and two TDs. Adams went off again last week catching 13 passes for 196 yards and two TDs. The Vikings defense comes in allowing 32 points per game on the season, and I can't see them stopping Aaron Rodgers at Lambeau. GL, Jesse Schule |

11-01-20 | Steelers +5.5 v. Ravens | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 162 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 6-0 Steelers come rolling into Baltimore as a big underdog this week, and the Ravens appear to be getting too much respect. This game will be a matter of strength versus strength, with the Steelers #1 ranked run defense against the Ravens #1 ranked rushing offense. The Ravens are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite, and the Steelers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-31-20 | Ohio State v. Penn State +12.5 | 38-25 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Penn State. The Nittany Lions were shocked in Week 1, losing to Indiana in overtime. A closer look at that game reveals that the Hoosiers were out-gained 488-211 in total yards. The bookmakers might be overreacting by listing Penn State as a double digit home dog versus Ohio State in Week 2. Historically the Buckeyes have had trouble at University Park. The Buckeyes are 0-4 ATS in their last four head to head meetings. The Nittany Lions are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog, and they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine coming off a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-31-20 | Notre Dame -19.5 v. Georgia Tech | 31-13 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Notre Dame. It took the Irish a few weeks to get up to speed, but they are coming off their most impressive game of the season, blowing out Pittsburgh by a score of 45-3. They are at Georgia Tech this week, and the Yellow Jackets have been blown out in back to back weeks. The Yellow Jackets are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games, and they are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games overall. The Irish have covered in four straight as a road favorite, and this line looks like it could be a lot higher. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-31-20 | Indiana v. Rutgers +12.5 | 37-21 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 10 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Rutgers. Both the Indiana Hoosiers and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights won outright as underdogs in Week 1, but Indiana is all of a sudden a double digit road favorite in Week 2. Their win over Penn State doesn't look quite as impressive when you see the stats. They were out-gained 488 to 211 in total yards, and they were held to 41 rushing yards on 26 attempts. They had a little help with Penn State turning the ball over three times, and they got a lot of help from the referees. Penn State was charged with 10 penalties for 100 yards. The Hoosiers are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite, and the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-27-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Dodgers | 1-3 | Loss | -157 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Tampa Bay +1.5. The Rays need a win here to force a Game 7, and they do have the advantage when it comes to the starting pitchers. Blake Snell will toe the rubber for Tampa, and he was lights out in Game 2 of this series. Snell allowed a pair of runs on two hits, striking out nine in 4 2/3 innings. He only threw 88 pitches in that game, and he should be in good shape to go a bit deeper tonight. The Dodgers hand the ball to Tony Gonsolin, who might not last long. The 26 year old has allowed eight runs on six hits and seven walks over 7 2/3 innings in his last three appearances. The Rays are 18-4 in their last 22 games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-26-20 | Bears v. Rams -6 | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Rams. The Bears have racked up a bunch of wins against the weaker teams in the NFL, and they had a stroke of luck in their big upset win over Tampa Bay. Tampa had a 13-0 lead with under two minutes to go in the first half, and somehow Chicago scored twice to take a 14-13 lead into halftime. Nick Foles threw for 243 yards with a TD and an INT in the win. Foles has thrown four picks in four starts, and he's facing a scary Rams defense here tonight. Chicago will have to lean on Foles for the majority of their offensive production, as they have one of the least talented backfields in the NFL. Only Houston averaged fewer rush yards per game than Chicago. I like Darrell Henderson to have a big game, he's coming off a solid performance in a loss to the Niners. He ran for 88 yards on 14 carries last week, and he should get plenty of touches if the Rams jump out to an early lead here. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-25-20 | 49ers +5 v. Patriots | 33-6 | Win | 100 | 163 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the San Francisco 49ers. The 3-3 San Francisco 49ers are in Foxboro Sunday to take on the 2-3 New England Patriots. This looks like a case of two teams trending in opposite directions. The Niners are getting healthier, coming off a big win over the Rams. The Pats are banged up, coming off back to back losses to Kansas City and Denver. This line opened up at 5.5, but money has come in on the Niners. The 49ers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog, and the Patriots are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
10-24-20 | Auburn v. Ole Miss +3.5 | 35-28 | Loss | -115 | 93 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Ole Miss. The Rebels have been an offensive juggernaut since the arrival of Lane Kiffin, averaging 36.5 points per game. The scored a combined 73 points in losses to Alabama and Florida, and outscored Kentucky in a 42-41 thriller in Lexington. Auburn comes into Oxford with a 2-2 record, although one of those wins was a controversial finish at home to Auburn by a score of 30-28. Tigers QB Bo Nix is completing just 54 percent of his passes with almost as many picks (4) as TDs (5) so far this season. Matt Corral has completed 69 percent of his passes for 1280 yards and 11 TDs in four starts. The Rebels should have enough offensive firepower to keep this game close at home versus an Auburn team that looks vulnerable. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-22-20 | Giants v. Eagles -4 | 21-22 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Eagles. The Giants are coming off their first win of the season, beating Washington at home by just one point. They are on the road at Philly tonight, and this has been a tough matchup for the GMen. They have lost five straight at Philly, and nine of their last 10 overall versus the Eagles. With Myles Saunders out for Philly, 25 year old Boston Scott steps into the role of RB1. He hasn't seen much action this season, but he did make the most of his opporunities last season when filling in as a starter. He was particularly good against the Giants, He ran for 113 yards on 29 carries in two starts against New York, and he caught 10 passes for 153 yards in those games. The Giants are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a straight up win, and they have failed to cover in four straight Thursday night games. The Eagles are 5-0 ATS in their last five TNF games.

10-20-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Dodgers | 3-8 | Loss | -140 | 33 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tampa +1.5. The Dodgers are the favorite in the World Series, and a big favorite in Game 1 with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Kershaw has a reputation for disappointment in the playoffs, and really it's been more of the same this year. His last start was a 10-2 loss to the Braves in the ALCS, and he was rocked for four runs on seven hits in five innings in that game. Tampa will also turn to a starter that was hit hard his last time out. Tyler Glasnow allowed four runs on eight hits over six innings in a 4-3 loss to the Astros. In his previous two starts he held the Yankees to four runs on three hits, striking out 12 batters in consecutive wins. The Dodgers are 1-5 in their last six World Series games. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on Dallas. The Cowboys are the first place team in the NFC East, despite a 2-3 record. The Cardinals are 3-2, and all three of their wins came against teams with a losing record. Kyler Murray has been great at times, but he's thrown almost as many picks (6) as touchdowns (8). Dallas has won two of three at home, and the home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. With Dak Prescott sidelined by a gruesome ankle injury, the Cowboys hand the ball to The Red Rifle. Andy Dalton stepped up and threw for 111 yards on 9-of-11 passing in a come from behind win over the Giants last Sunday. I don't expect a big drop off offensively with Dalton at QB, and I don't think the Cardinals are good enough to be a road favorite in Dallas. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-18-20 | Texans v. Titans -2 | 36-42 | Win | 100 | 136 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Titans. The 4-0 Titans host the 1-4 Texans and there is really no reason to expect this game to be close. The Titans have picked up where they left off last year when they went all the way to the AFC Championship Game. Derrick Henry is still a beast, and he should be in for a big day at home against this Houston defense. The last time these teams met, Henry ran for 211 yards and three TDs in a 35-14 win at Houston. I expect a similar score here today. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-17-20 | Astros +1.5 v. Rays | 2-4 | Loss | -184 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Houston. Tampa has blown a 3-0 series lead, and the Astros bats look to power them to another World Series. Lance McCullers will toe the slab for Houston in Game 7, and he allowed four runs on four hits with 11 strikeouts in Game 2. The Rays hand the ball to Charlie Morton, who tossed five scoreless innings allowing five hits in the second game of this series. Two of the last three games, and three of the six games in this series have been decided by one run. I'll take the defending champs plus the runs. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-16-20 | Dodgers v. Braves +1.5 | 7-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
The Dodgers are on the ropes, trailing Atlanta 3-1 in the NLCS. Each of the last three games have gone over the total, and the ball is really carrying in this ballpark. The Braves bats have been carrying them, while their pitching staff has been taxed. They turn to another young relief pitcher tonight, sending 27 year old A.J. Minter to the mound. Minter made a brief appearance in Game 3, giving up a home run and recording just two outs. We should see another high scoring game here in Texas tonight. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-16-20 | Astros +1.5 v. Rays | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Houston +1.5. Game 1 of this series was a pitcher's duel with Tampa winning by a score of 2-1. The same starters are schedule to go in Game 6, and Houston has all the momentum. The Rays haven't gotten the clutch hits in the last few games, while the Astros have. The Astros are 10-3 in their last 13 playoff games as an underdog.The under is 18-6-2 in the last 26 meetings, and the game script calls for a close, low scoring contest. I'll take the runs. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-13-20 | Rays +1.5 v. Astros | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 22 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tampa. The Astros are down 0-2 in the ALCS, and it doesn't get any easier in Game 3 on Tuesday. Jose Urquidy will toe the slab for Houston, and he got roughed up in a loss to Oakland his last time out. The 25 year old allowed four runs on five hits over 4 1/3 innings in that game. All the damage came on four solo home runs. The Rays hand the ball to Ryan Yarbrough, who allowed a pair of runs on six hits over five innings in Game 4 against the Yankees. Tampa's bullpen has been dominant. and the Rays are 33-1 when leading after six innings. Take TB. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-12-20 | Chargers v. Saints -6.5 | 27-30 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on New Orleans. The 1-3 Chargers will visit the 2-2 Saints, but the home team is a significant favorite. New Orleans will miss star wide receiver Michael Thomas, but the Chargers are thin on the offensive line and in the backfield. While I expect the Saints to lean heavily on Alvin Kamara, the Chargers are likely going to come out throwing. Justin Herbert has averaged over 300 passing yards per game so far, and with a lack of talent at the running back position they might be forced lean even more on their passing game. The Saints also boast one of the league's top run defenses. With a heavy workload for Kamara in the absence of Thomas, Latavius Murray should get his share of carries when Kamara needs a breather. Murray has had 12 or more carries in three of the Saints four games. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-12-20 | Braves +1.5 v. Dodgers | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers will be a big favorite in Game 1 of the NLCS, but they face an Atlanta pitching staff that has posted four shutouts in five games this post-season. Max Fried will toe the slab for Atlanta, and he hasn't lost in 13 starts this season. He was 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA in five starts on the road during the regular season. The Dodgers hand the ball to Walker Buehler, who has struggled with his command in recent appearances. He's walked six batters in eight innings in two post-season starts. Buehler hasn't gone more than four innings in any of his last four starts since September 3rd. Take ATL. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on Houston +1.5. The defending champions have thrived in the role of underdogs, and I'll take them in Game 1 of the ALCS as the underdog versus Tampa. Framber Valdez will to the slab for Houston, and he's on quite a roll. He's allowed just four runs in his last four starts, and the Astros are 5-0 in his last five starts. The Rays hand the ball to Bake Snell, who has lost two of his last three starts. He's surrendered five home runs in his last three starts. The Astros are batting a combined .282 over 77 at bats versus Snell. Take HOU. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-10-20 | Miami-FL +15.5 v. Clemson | 17-42 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Miami. The Clemson Tigers are ranked #1 in the polls, and the heavy favorite to win the College Football Playoff. They will be a double digit favorite against a Top 10 ranked Miami Hurricanes team. The last time Clemson faced a Top 10 team, was in last year's loss to LSU in the Championship Game. The Tigers are 7-3 straight up in their last 10 games against Top 10 ranked teams, but only two of those wins came by double digits. Clemson hasn't covered in any of their three games so far, and they have scored fewer points per game against far weaker opponents than the Hurricanes have. This doesn't look like an easy game for Clemson, they might even be on uspet alert. Take MIA. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-08-20 | Tulane +7 v. Houston | 31-49 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Tulane. The Green Wave scored 66 points in a win over Southern Mississippi in their last game, and freshman Michael Pratt stepped up at QB throwing for a pair of TDs and running in another. Cameron Carroll ran for 163 yards and three TDs on just 15 carries. Tulane beat Houston last year, and these teams are 3-3 in the last six head to head meetings. The Cougars haven't played a game yet this season, and it will be interesting to see what they can do on offense without D'eriq King who transferred to Miami. The Cougars are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a bye week, and they have failed to cover in four of their last five as a favorite. Take TUL. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-07-20 | Marlins +1.5 v. Braves | 0-2 | Loss | -112 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Miami +1.5. The Atlanta Braves didn't allow a run in a two game sweep of Cincinnati, but they didn't exactly light it up with their bats. They face a Miami team that is perhaps better than they get credit for. Pablo Lopez will toe the slab for the Fish, and he's been solid of late. He has appeared in three straight wins, most recently tossing five scoreless innings against the Braves. The Braves hand the ball to Ian Anderson, who has allowed five runs on nine hits over 8 2/3 innings in his last two starts versus Miami. The Braves lost both those games. The Marlins are 5-0 in their last five games as an underdog. Take MIA. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-06-20 | Padres +1.5 v. Dodgers | 1-5 | Loss | -160 | 24 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SD +1.5. The Padres bats powered them past the Cardinals, and they look like a formidable opponent for the Dodgers in the NLDS. Walker Buehler will toe the slab for LA, and he hasn't been as sharp this season as he was a year ago. He was just 0-0 with a 6.19 ERA in four appearances outside LA this season. He's allowed seven runs on eight hits over 10 2/3 innings in his last three appearances. The Padres did not announce a starter for Game 1, after using nine pitchers in Game 3 against St. Louis. The Padres are 15-5 in their last 20 during game 1 of a series. Take SD. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-06-20 | Lakers -7 v. Heat | 102-96 | Loss | -113 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over (Lakers Team Total). Anthony Davis was in foul trouble early in Game 3, and he only attempted nine shots in the game. He's gotta be better tonight, and the Lakers are still the overwhelming favorite. What I said prior to Game 2 is still valid: "What did we learn in Game 1? We learned that the Heat simply can't stop LeBron James and Anthony Davis. If they play the same style, they will lose the next three games and go out in a sweep. The only way the Heat can have a chance at beating LA is to completely change their strategy. The need to accept the fact that their best effort on defense isn't going to be good enough, and put all their efforts into outscoring LA. That means more three point shooting, a faster pace, and more minutes for their young shooters who are a liability on defense. Both these teams have gone over in four of their last five overall, yet this total has been bet down a few points since it opened. I'll go with the over." GL, Jesse Schule |

10-06-20 | Astros +1.5 v. A's | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Houston +1.5. The Astros continue to silence the critics, with three straight playoff victories. They look good again this afternoon as an underdog versus Oakland. Sean Manaea will toe the slab for Oakland, and he has far better numbers at home than he does on the road. He was just 1-2 with a 5.02 ERA in six starts outside of Oakland. The Astros hand the ball to Framber Valdez, and he's allowed just two runs on a dozen hits with 24 strikeouts in his last three appearances. Oakland had won three of four head to head meetings prior to Game 1 of this series, but three of those games were decided by a single run. Take HOU. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-06-20 | Marlins +1.5 v. Braves | 5-9 | Loss | -113 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on MIAMI +1.5. The Atlanta Braves didn't allow a run in a two game sweep of Cincinnati, but they didn't exactly light it up with their bats. They face a Miami team that is perhaps better than they get credit for. Sandy Alcantara will toe the slab for the Fish, and he's been solid of late. He has allowed a single run in three of of his last four starts. He's 1-1 with a 1.86 ERA in his last three starts. The Braves hand the ball to Max Fried, who allowed a pair of runs on three hits in one inning the last time he faced Miami. He has an ERA of 4.50 in his last four starts. The Marlins are 5-0 in their last five games as an underdog. Take MIA. GL, Jesse Schule |

10-05-20 | Patriots +11 v. Chiefs | 10-26 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on New England. The knee jerk reaction to the news that Cam Newton tested positive for Covid-19 has pushed the line for this game up by 4-5 points. I am not sure we should count out the Patriots, and history tells us that Bill Belichick might just have a few tricks up his sleeve. Most of you probably remember that Jimmy Garroppolo and Jacoby Brissett stepped in back in 2016, helping New England win three of their first four games despite Tom Brady's absence. But many of you may have forgotten that Belichick won 11 games with Matt Cassell back in 2008. The Chiefs strength is their pass defense, and the strategy for beating Kansas City remains the same. Pound away with the run, and try to keep the ball out of the hands of Patrick Mahomes. I expect the Patriots to make a game of it. GL, Jesse Schule |
