12-07-17 | Valparaiso +15.5 v. Purdue | 50-80 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
                             VALPARAISO @ PURDUE Valpo is 8-0 thanks to its famous defense that allowed all opponents to score 70 points or less and 3 teams 60 or less. They are 2nd in the nation allowing opponents to shoot under 35% from the floor and are 7th in the nation allowing just 25% of their opponent's 3's. They average 83 points and 43 boards a game while shooting 49% from the floor. Purdue is known for their big front line but Valpo has 2 7 footers that allows them to match up with the big Purdue lineup. Purdue also has the edge in experience as 4 key players return from last season's squad. In their last 3 wins they scored 80 points just once and didn't win by double digits in any. they average 87 points a game but haven't scored that many in 5 of their last 6 games. Take Valparaiso |

They have been held below 70 points in all 4 losses and have just 1 senior in their starting rotation while hitting 45% from the floor. All 3 wins were against weaker MAC teams. They are being asked to cover a lot of points against a pretty solid team. Take Tennessee Tech |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Wizards v. Blazers -5.5 | 106-92 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
                            WIZARDS @ BLAZERS Washington lost another game to a weak Jazz team and the loss of guard Wall is starting to take a toll as they scored just 69 points last night in Utah for their 4th loss in their last 6 games. They gave up at least 108 points in all 4 losses and have now lost 4 of their last 6 road games. Portland should be well rested after their last game which they lost to the Pelicans 3 days ago. They beat Washington 3 of their last 4 in Portland and scored over 100 points each time. Portland has been a good home team but they have struggled recently but look for a good game against a reeling wizard team. Take Portland |

They held opponents below 70 points in 6 of their 8 wins while shooting 51% from the floor and grabbing 39 boards a game.

12-05-17 | Tenn Chattanooga v. Marshall -7.5 | 66-70 | Loss | -122 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
                        CHATTANOOGA @ MARSHALL The Mocs are 4-4 with an 0-3 road record. They barely beat the 1-7 Tenn-Martin team 66-63 in their last game and that was at home. They have 2 wins courtesy of Division ll schools as they average 72 points and only 33 boards a game. They have a deep bench but not a lot of size and other than the 2 Division 2 schools they beat, their other 2 wins were against 2 teams with a combined 1-15 record.

12-04-17 | Florida State v. Florida -10 | 83-66 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
                           FLORIDA ST @ FLORIDA Florida St is 6-0 and their last win may be their best as they beat a stubborn Rutgers team 78-73 which was the most points given up by Rutgers all year. They have done well considering they lost their top 2 leading scorers from last year and everyone is filling in as they average 89 points a game with 5 double digit scorers. Their other victories were against weaker competition but they did what they had to as they shoot over 50% from the floor. This will be their real 1st test agaist a quality team. Florida has 1 of the better offenses in the country as they are 5-1 and scored over 100 points in 4 of their wins. Their only loss was to Duke after blowing a 10 point lead with under 5 minutes left in the game and they have a big win against Gonzaga a top 20 team. They average 100 points and grab 40 boards while shooting 49% from the floor and are 1 of the best 3 point shooting teams as they hit 46%. They have 4 double digit scorers with 2 seniors in their starting 5 and a deep bench with 9 players getting at least 10 minutes a game. They have experience and good height that should be enough to overwhelm a young Seminole team. Take Florida |

12-04-17 | Michigan v. Ohio State -2.5 | 62-71 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
                           MICHIGAN @ OHIO ST Michigan has a 7-2 record and can thank 5 home victories to that start.

|||||||
12-03-17 | Giants +9 v. Raiders | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
                            GIANTS @ RAIDERS NY lost their 9th game last week and decided to bench Manning in favor of Geno Smith. Their offense has struggled scoring 17 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games but the defense has played well allowing 24 points or less in 4 of the last 6 games. They face an Oakland team that has their top 2 receivers out and that should slow Oakland's offense down. They have scored 21 points or less in 3 of the last 4 games while their defense allowed at least 30 points in 3 of the last 5 games. This is a pretty big spread considering the way Oakland has played and their injuries to the receiving game. Take New York |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Browns v. Chargers -13.5 | 10-19 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |

Their defense has allowed at least 30 points in 4 of the last 6 games and they haven't covered the spread in 9 of their last 10 games. LA has won 5 of their last 7 games with both losses on the road. They held all 5 opponents in the wins to 24 points or less while the offense has played well as QB Rivers passed for over 400 yards in last week's beating of Dallas and he has thrown 16 TD's with just 3 picks over the last 7 games. Take Los Angeles |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Seton Hall v. Louisville -3.5 | 79-77 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |

They average 81 points while grabbing 38 boards a game. They have 4 double digit scorers with their top 3 hitting above 45% from the floor. The team is draining 49% of their floor shots and 38% of their 3's. They have 1 of the deepest benches with a total of 10 players getting at least 11 minutes a game with 9 of the 10 hitting over 45% of their shots. Louisville suffered their 1st loss as they also faced their 1st big test against a good Power 5 school when they lost to Purdue and were held to 57 points. They lost 3 key players from last season all who were starters including the top 2 scorers. they average 77 points a game with only 2 double digit scorers but hit just 44% from the floor and 33% of their 3's. This is an excellent Pirate team and another test for a team still figuring things out.  Take Seton Hall The Correct pick is SETON HALL1 |

12-03-17 | Northwestern +12.5 v. Purdue | 69-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
                           NORTHWESTERN @ PURDUE Northwestern is 5-3 with their 3 losses against very tough Creighton, Texas tech where they just fell apart and a road game against Georgia Tech. They lost by a total of 5 points in 2 of the 3 losses and bounced back with a win against Illinois. They don't have an overwhelming offense but return 4 of 5 starters who were also the top 4 scorers from last year. This year they are all scoring in double digits while the defense which plays an important role, has held their last 3 opponents below 70 points and 2 below 60. They had 12 losses last season and only 3 were by more than 10 points. Purdue has won 3 straight after getting by Maryland 80-75 in their last game. Although they average 88 points a game they have been held below that in 4 of their last 5 games which included both of their losses. They have 5 double digit scorers and also have 4 returning starters but are missing the leading scorer and rebounder Swanigan who was the heart and soul of the team. He scored 26 points in last year's game when Purdue won at home against the Widcats. They are still good but not as good and this is a big spread against a familiar foe. Take Northwestern |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Kansas State +1 v. Vanderbilt | 84-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
                        KANSAS STATE @ VANDERBILT Kansas St has a 6-1 record and all 6 wins were against teams with records below .500. As a matter of fact 4 of the teams own a combined 8-25 record while their only loss was against a Power 5 school. They lost their leading scorer and 2 leading rebounders from last year as the average 77 points and 34 boards a game. They don't have a lot of size in their rotation and are playing a Vanderbilt team who have 4 returning players of their 6 main starters from last year including the leading scorer. They have a 3-4 record but 3 losses were against Virginia, Seton Hall and USC. They lost to USC in OT and were leading Hall at halftime. They average 68 points shooting 40% from the floor and have a deep bench with 10 players getting at least 11 minutes a game. They haven't shot from beyond the arc well although last season they hit 38% and that's a big part of their game. They are a good home team. Take Vanderbilt THE CORRECT PICK IS VANDERBILT! |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Patriots v. Bills +9 | 23-3 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 23 m | Show | |
                            PATRIOTS @ BILLS New England has won 7 straight games and Brady is once again leading the league in passing. They have scored at least 33 points in their last 3 games and are 3rd in scoring. Their defense which is ranked 30th in the league allows almost 400 yards a game but they have been stingy on points. Buffalo had a big win last week in KC which broke a 3 game losing streak when their defense stumbled and allowed at least 34 points in all 3 losses. They allowed 10 last week and 17 or less in 4 of their last 5 wins while they also have a 4-1 record at home. this seems like a lot of points even for the Pats to give up on the road. Take Buffalo |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Vikings v. Falcons -2.5 | 14-9 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
                            VIKINGS @ FALCONS Minnesota has won 7 straight games and QB Keenum has stepped up completing over 70% of his passes while throwing 7 TD's in his last 3 games. Their defense which had allowed 17 points or less in 6 straight games has allowed at least 23 in 3 of their last 3 including the 1st game they allowed 30 points all year. At least 3 of the wins were against teams like Cleveland and a green Bay team who had just lost Rodgers and a Baltimore team without an offense. Atlanta has won 3 straight games and have scored at least 27 points in each game. they have won 4 of their last 5 as QB Ryan has completed at least 70% of his passes in his last 3 games and threw 9 TD's and just 2 picks over his last 4. the defense has also played well allowing 23 points or less in 7 of their last 8 games. Take Atlanta |
|||||||
12-03-17 | 49ers +3 v. Bears | 15-14 | Win | 105 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
                              49ERS @ BEARS SF won their 1st game 2 weeks ago but couldn't get the win last week. They haven't been able to score more than 13 points in each of their last 4 losses but their defense has kept it close allowing 24 points or less in their last 3 games and now play a punchless Bear offense. The Bears have lost 4 straight games and their offense which ranks 29th has scored 17 points or less in 6 of their last 8 games and average just 16 points and less than 300 yards a game. Their once tough defense has allowed at least 23 points in 3 straight games and the team has lost 6 of their last 8 games overall. Take San Francisco |

12-02-17 | Pelicans v. Blazers -3.5 | 123-116 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 28 m | Show | |
                           PELICANS @ BLAZERS New Orleans not only lost the game last night but probably Anthony Davis who injured his groin in the loss. That was their 3rd straight loss and they have allowed over 114 points a game in each. They have lost 3 of their last 4 road games and 5 of their last 6 in Portland. Portland has won 5 of their last 7 games and are 7-5 at home and they scored over 100 points in all 5 of those wins. They have won 7 of their last 10 games overall and hold their opponents to 99 points a game while they average over 100. Take Portland |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +7 | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 56 h 8 m | Show | |
                           OHIO ST VS WISCONSIN Ohio St has won 3 straight games since their 30 point loss at Iowa. Their offense is ranked 5th and averages over 500 yards and 43.8 points a game while their defense is ranked 9th allowing 20 points a game. A lot hinges on the health of QB Barrett who has cartilage damage to his knee and is listed as probable. They scored the fewest points in their last 2 road games out of their last 10 games. Wisconsin is 12-0 and has a chance to secure their spot in the Championship Series with a victory. They haven't gotten the respect as some of the other schools because of their softer schedule. they have the best defense in the country allowing only 237 yards a game and just 12 points. Their offense has scored at least 31 points in 7 of their last 10 games while averaging over 400 yards and 35 points a game. With an ailing QB at Ohio St, I'll take the points. Take Wisconsin |

12-02-17 | Miami-FL v. CLEMSON -9 | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 29 h 26 m | Show | |
                             MIAMI VS CLEMSON Miami lost their 1st game in Pittsburgh last week after 10 straight wins. Their defense has carried them most of the way as their offense has been held under 30 points in 6 of their last 8 games even though they average over 31 a game. They are 74th on total offense averaging 423 yards a game. Now they play the 7th ranked defense in the country and they will be without their 2nd and 3rd leading receivers and will need to establish the run but Clemson only allows 113 yards a game. They will really need their defense to step up but they have allowed 52 points over the last 2 games which is the most points allowed in 2 straight games all year. Clemson is playing about as well as they have all year since losing their only game to Syracuse. They have won 5 straight games with wins against Florida St, Georgia Tech and NC St all in a row and last week shut down So Carolina. They average over 35 points a game and they have held 7 teams to less than 259 total yards in a game. If Miami isn't careful this one could be over at halftime. Take Clemson |

                           GEORGIA VS AUBURN Georgia can advance to the Championship Series with a win in the SEC Title game against the only team they lost to this season. They snapped back after that loss with the destruction of both Kentucky and Georgia Tech outscoring them 80-20.

Their defense which is ranked 12th allows just 13.8 points a game and they have allowed 14 points or less in 8 of their last 10 games.

Their offense is ranked 20th and score 36.7 points a game while passing and running for over 200 yards a game. They have 2 losses this year and both were away from their home field. They have to shut down the Bulldog running game again if they hope to win.

They are 5-1 so far with just a 1 point loss to Notre Dame as their only blemish. They are averaging 90 points and 47 boards while dishing out 19 assists a game. They hit 50% of their shots from the floor and over 37% of their 3's and have a very deep bench with 10 players getting at least 15 minutes a game which means nobody is winded and they have fresh legs. Baylor is 5-1 with their only loss at the hands of Xavier in their last game. They have scored more than 78 points in just 1 game as they average 76 points and 39 boards a game while shooting 48% from the floor. They only let 1 team score above 70 points and that defense is what they will need to stop the Shockers. Wichita will have a height advantage so fouls will be crucial to Baylor. Take Wichita State |

Their only loss was to a good Iowa team and they lost maybe their best player in the first 8 minutes of the game. Their defense has held all 6 opponents they beat below 70 points. Oregon is 5-2 having lost 2 of their last 3 games. their first 5 wins were against much weaker teams with a combined 7-26 record and their losses were to teams with 5 wins each. They average 87 points and 41 boards a game but in both losses were held far below those numbers when playing quality teams as most of their stats were against poor teams. to make things tougher they will be without leading rebounder and 4th leading scorer Troy Brown. Take Boise State |

                                STANFORD VS USC Stanford has won 8 of their last 9 games including a 38-20 spanking of Notre Dame. They have scored at least 30 points in 5 of their last 8 wins and their defense has allowed 20 points or less in 6 of their last 7 games. Since replacing their starting QB 4 games ago, Chryst's replacement Costello has passed for over 1150 yards and thrown 9 TD's and just 2 picks while completing 61% of his passes while the nation's #2 back Bryce Love is all ready to go after being hobbled for a bit. USC has won 4 straight games since getting hammered by the Irish 49-14 in their last loss. Their last 4 wins were arguably against some of the worst defenses around as none of them are ranked above 111th in the country while their defense allowed at least 23 points in 5 of their last 6 games. They have 1 of the better passing games with QB Darnold ranked 12th in the country but he has thrown just 4 TD's in his last 3 games. Stanford has won 7 of the last 10 meetings with USC. Take Stanford |

They are using 4 freshman and a sophomore in their rotation as they average 69 points while grabbing 33 boards. They are hitting 45% from the floor but average 15 TO's a game. This is an in city Pittsburgh rivalry and the Panthers are very inexperienced to be such a big favorite. The visitors have won 3 of the last 4 meetings. Take Duquesne |

11-30-17 | South Carolina v. Temple +1 | 60-76 | Win | 102 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
                             SO CAROLINA VS TEMPLE So Carolina has a 5-1 record but the best team they beat is just 4-3 and plays in the MAC Conference. Even the team they lost to is below .500 which means all their games were against much weaker teams. They did hold all their opponents below 70 points and they average 76 points and 40 boards a game. They lost 3 key players from last season but have 2 good returning players. All in all they have 10 men on the roster that are either freshman or sophomores. Temple is 3-1 and have beaten auburn Clemson and a very tough Old Dominion team before losing by 4 to LaSalle in their only true road game. They have 4 key players returning including their 2 top scorers from last year and their leading rebounder.

                             UNLV @ NORTHERN IOWA UNLV is 6-0 and playing as good a game as anyone in the country. They average 96 points a game and lead the country with 49 boards a game while dishing out 21 assists a game. They are hitting over 52% from the floor and 37% of their 3's. They have a 7 foot freshman tearing it up as he averages over 20 points a game and is 1 of 2 players grabbing 13 boards a game. They have 4 double digit scorers with 3 of them shooting above 59%.Their defense has held 4 of their 6 opponents below 70 points and have a huge 27 point win over Utah.

They have 4 returning players and they score 67 points a game while grabbing 40 boards but don't have the size to match up. They have to play a smart game and stay out of foul trouble. Take UNLV |

                        MARSHALL @ WILLIAM & MARY Marshall is 4-2 winning their 4 home games and losing their 2 on the road. They have an excellent offense that averages 90 points while grabbing 38 boards as they have hit 49% from the floor. Defensively they allowed at least 84 points in 4 of the games while the 3 Division l schools they beat have a combined 5-15 record with only Illinois having a better than .500 record and they lost that game. They have no seniors but have their leading scorer from last season picking up where he left off scoring 24 points a game. The Tribe are coming off their 3rd straight win at home beating an excellent Old Dominion team 79-77. They have now won 16 of their last 17 home games and average 81 points on 54% shooting. Three of their top 4 scorers are all hitting above 47% from the floor while the team grabs 34 boards a game. They have 2 seniors in their 5 starters.

11-29-17 | Auburn -4 v. Dayton | 73-60 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
                           AUBURN @ DAYTON Auburn has won 4 of 5 with the only loss against a tough Temple team. They scored over 100 in 2 of their wins as they average 93 points and grab 42 boards a game led by 3 returning key players and a very deep productive bench with 8 players getting at least 16 minutes a game. They have 5 players averaging at least 4.4 boards a game with 3 of them at least 6'7". They hit over 50% from the floor and drain 38% of their 3's. Dayton is 3-2 with all 3 wins against MAC teams and just 1 with a better than .500 record. They lost 3 key players from last season and haven't got their game figured out yet. They average 73 points and 35 boards a game and are a very young team with 8 freshmen on the roster. They will be without their 3rd leading scorer who is also the 2nd leading rebounder. Take Auburn |

11-28-17 | Toledo +26 v. Kansas | 58-96 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
                             TOLEDO @ KANSAS Toledo won their first 3 games and then lost 2 straight tough games by 11 points total to Syracuse and Cornell. They fought back after falling behind by double digits only to lose when Cornell hit some last second free throws and played a superior Syracuse team tough until they finally losing by 8. They have 4 double digit scorers and average 80 points and 39 boards shooting 45% from the floor and hitting 38% of their 3's. They have good size with 4 players above 6'7" and play very competitive basketball as they lost by less than double digits in 8 of their last 10 losses last season. They don't turn the ball over averaging just 10 a game. Kansas put a hurting winning by at least 34 points in every win except their 4 pointer over Kentucky. they are playing shorthanded waiting for 2 players, 1 who is hurt and another to clear eligibility so they have been relying mainly on 5 players for all their points. Toledo won't go easy and if the Jayhawks get too relaxed they could be in a tough fight as this may be the most physical team since the Kentucky game. Take Toledo |

11-28-17 | Louisville v. Purdue -8 | 57-66 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
                          LOUISVILLE @ PURDUE Louisville is 4-0 but really hasn't been tested as no opponent they played has a better than .500 record. They average 82 points and grab 43 boards while hitting 46% from the floor and just 33% of their 3's. They have just 2 of their 5 key players from last season and the 3 they don't were the driving force from last season. They are mainly short on experience and they will need it against Purdue who brings back 4 of their 5 main players including 4 seniors. They average 92 points and 40 boards while dishing out 20 assists. they ran through their first 4 opponents before having 2 bad shooting games in a row where they lost both games in the Bahamas. But they righted the ship and crushed #2 Arizona 89-64 in their last game and are now at home where they are the most dangerous. They scored over 100 points in all 3 of their home games so far and last season lost just 2 games at home including 1 to Villanova. This is not the same type of team untested Louisville has faced so far and they could be beat up pretty good. Take Purdue |

11-28-17 | Florida State -4.5 v. Rutgers | 78-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
                         FLORIDA ST @ RUTGERS Florida St is 5-0 winning all of them by at least 17 points. They are averaging 91 points and 40 boards while dishing out 20 assists. their 4 double digit scorers are all hitting above 54% from the floor and 3 of their top 5 scorers are nailing over 46% of their 3's. Rutgers is 6-0 but their last 4 wins were against teams with a 4-19 combined record and have 4 wins against a Division ll schools.They average 74 points and get 48 boards a game but only 1 of their top 4 scorers is hitting above 45% from the floor. the team hits 43% from the floor but only 26% of their 3's. They have good size and will have establish an inside game and hit their foul shots which they have done at a dismal 58%. The Seminoles have a lot of talent and may be too much for Rutgers. Take Florida State |

11-28-17 | Baylor +4.5 v. Xavier | 63-76 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
                           BAYLOR @ XAVIER Baylor has won all 5 of their games with the help of 4 returning seniors who have them averaging 78 points and 41 boards while dishing out 16 assists a game. They are hitting 49% from the floor and 38% of their 3's. They have had back to back wins over Wisconsin and Creighton which is no small feat while the defense has held ll 5 opponents below 70 points. Xavier is 5-1 and led by 2 senior guards as they average 91 points and grab 38 boards. They also have a win against Wisconsin but lost their last game as the defense couldn't stop Arizona St allowing them to score over 100 points and shoot 56% from the floor and hit 48% of their 3's. They don't have the size to matchup with Baylor and if not careful could find themselves behind fast. This should be a close game with the edge going to Baylor. Take Baylor |

11-26-17 | Texas A&M +2.5 v. USC | 75-59 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
                             TEXAS A&M @ USC The Aggies have played some of the best basketball in the country going 5-0 with wins against Oklahoma St and Penn St thanks to 5 returning players with 4 of them seasoned seniors. They are averaging 85 points and 41 boards a game while shooting over 50% from the floor and hitting 44% of their 3's. All 5 of their double digit scorers are shooting better than 47% and 3 of them ae grabbing at least 7 boards a game. USC has won all 4 of their games and average 85 points and 43 boards a game. They are hitting 46% from the floor and nailing 41% of their 3's led by Junior forward Boatwright but lack the experience as they have 2 seniors playing from last season. So I will be happy with the points in a close matchup. Take Texas A&M |

11-26-17 | North Carolina +2 v. Michigan State | 45-63 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
                        NORTH CAROLINA @ MICHIGAN ST The Tarheels have won all 5 of their games and have scored at least 86 points in each game and have just 1 win by less than 20 points and that includes wins against Stanford and Arkansas who both have storied basketball histories. They are averaging 93 points and grabbing 45 boards a game while shooting 59% from the floor and hitting 40% of their 3's. Their 10 assists a game against just 12 TO's a game is an added bonus. They have 4 returning starters and 2 monster freshman that are playing great. The Spartans have 1 loss to Duke and 4 wins where they held 3 opponents below 70 points. They average 84 points and are grabbing 40 boards while dishing out 19 assists a game. They too have 4 returning players who are starting and scoring but most are sophomores without the experience that Carolina has so give me the points Take North Carolina |

11-26-17 | Broncos +4.5 v. Raiders | 14-21 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
                          BRONCOS @ RAIDERS Denver can't sink any lower losing 6 straight games but 3 losses were against the best in the league as they were beaten by the Pats,the Rams and Philly. it is their once proud defense that has really hurt them as the offense has stalled. They allowed at least 29 points in 3 of the last 4 losses The Raiders have dropped 2 of their last 3 games getting outscored 67-22 in the 2 losses. Their last 2 wins were by 3 points total and before that had dropped 4 straight games. Overall they have lost 6 of their last 8 games and are having troubles on both sides of the ball. Denver is desperate for a win and with 2 reeling teams I'll grab the points in a who can play the worst game. Take Denver |

11-26-17 | Jaguars v. Cardinals +5.5 | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
                         JAGUARS @ CARDS Jacksonville is having a super year and they can thank the defense who has allowed 17 points or less in 5 of their last 6 games. But the offense has been held to 23 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games and struggled against winlees Cleveland last week in a 19-7 win. Arizona is struggling having lost 3 of their last 4 games but have played 3 of their last 4 on the road where last week they collapsed in the 4th quarter after taking the lead in the 3rd. the week before they put up a fight against Seattle until they let it get away late. Look for them to play a good game at home against a struggling Jaguar offense. Take Arizona |

11-26-17 | Seahawks v. 49ers +7 | 24-13 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
                         SEAHAWKS @ 49ERS Seattle has lost 2 of their last 3 games and are playing very inconsistently on both sides of the ball but that could be due to injuries as they are hobbling now. In their last 4 games, their defense has allowed at least 34 points in 2 games and held teams to 17 or less in 2 games. Their last 2 wins came against the stumbling Giants and the struggling Cards. SF got their 1st win over the lowly Giants but their offense produced 31 points after being held to 10 points in 3 straight games. In all fairness they lost a red hot Eagle team and played the Cowboys when they were on a run. This is a good spot for the Niners to put up another win against a beat up Seattle team who are playing poorly. Take San Francisco |

11-26-17 | Bears v. Eagles -14 | 3-31 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
                           BEARS @ EAGLES Chicago has lost 3 straight and 5 of their last 7 overall. Their offense has been dismal as they have scored 17 points or less in 4 of their last 5 losses and in 6 of the 7 losses they have. Their defense hasn't been consistent enough to stop the bleeding as 3 of their 4 road losses have been by at least 8 points. The Eagles are soaring at 9-1 and have won 8 straight games winning 5 of their last 6 by double digits as their offense has scored at least 33 points in 5 of their last 6 games and the defense allowed more than 24 points in just 1 game all year. This team is on a mission and the Bears won't be able to contend. Take Philadelphia |
|||||||
11-26-17 | Bills +9.5 v. Chiefs | 16-10 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
                            BILLS @ CHIEFS Buffalo's defense has gone missing the last 3 games as they allowed at least 34 points in each game losing all 3. Prior they held 6 of their first 7 opponents to 20 points or less and were 5-2. Their offense has been outgained in most games and in the last 2 ran up against 2 of the hottest offenses in the league losing to the Saints and getting pounded in LA by the Chargers. The Chiefs are having their own headaches after a 5-0 start. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and last week was by far the worst as they were beaten by the lowly Giants 12-9 in OT. It was the 3rd game in their last 4 losses their offense disappeared as the were held to 17 points or less. With both teams trying to get back on track I'll take the generous points. Take Buffalo |

11-26-17 | Bucs v. Falcons -10 | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
                           BUCS @ FALCONS Tampa Bay has won their last 2 games after dropping 5 straight but those wins were against the bottom feeding Jets and Dolphins. Their offense has been hampered by the injury to QB Winston as they have scored 15 points in 3 of their last 4 games and though they totaled 30 last week 10 points came in the last minute of the game. Their defense has allowed at least 30 points in 3 of their last 4 losses and their 28th ranked defense has been getting killed in the air allowing 276 yards a game. Atlanta hit a rough stretch losing 4 of 5 games before righting the ship and winning their last 2 and scoring 61 total points. They have won every game they scored at least 23 points while their defense hasn't played that poorly allowing 23 points or less in 6 of their last 7 games while the offense had trouble scoring and were held to 17 points or less in all 4 of those losses. Take Atlanta |

11-26-17 | Browns +8 v. Bengals | 16-30 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
                           BROWNS @ BENGALS Cleveland is still looking for it's first win and last week played a great Jacksonville team just about even for 3 quarters before losing 17-8. Their defense has played it's heart out for 4 straight game only to give up key points in the 4th quarter of all 4 games. They allowed a total of 33 points in the 4th quarter of their last 3 games and lost in OT 12-9 in the previous game. Their offense hasn't gotten on track as they have been held to 24 points or less in 7 straight games. The Bengals beat a reeling Denver team 20-17 last week and it was the 5th time in the last 6 games they scored 20 points or less losing 3 of them. Their defense have played a bend don't break game and allowed no more than 24 points in 6 of their last 7 games but the struggling offense has 3 of their last 4 wins by 8 total points. Take Cleveland |

11-25-17 | Colorado +10.5 v. Utah | 13-34 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
                        COLORADO @ UTAH Both teams are 5-6 and are playing for bowl eligibility. Colorado comes in having lost 3 of their last 4 game but QB Montez has thrown for over 300 yards in 3 straight games and they have the 2nd leading rusher in the conference. Their offense has scored over 30 points in 6 games and at least 36 points in 3 of their last 5. Utah will try and forget about last week's devastating loss when they allowed Washington to score 10 points in the last minute of the game. That was their 6th loss in their last 7 games and today will most likely be without 2 key defenders. They will need them as they allowed at least 30 points in their last 4 losses and they are facing 1 of the better offense that passes for 266 yards a game and scores 27.6 points while averaging over 400 yards. Utah is 2-6 in conference and this spread might be too much too ask. Take Colorado |

11-25-17 | Clemson -13.5 v. South Carolina | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
                   CLEMSON @ SOUTH CAROLINA Clemson has exploded after losing their only game by beating up Georgia Tech, Florida St and NC St all in a row and topping it off with a 61-3 win last week over Citadel. Their defense is ranked 7th allowing just 290 yards a game and 13'7 points which is 4th best. The Gamecocks have won 4 of their last 5 and have played well all year. Their schedule hasn't been tat tough as they beat a broken Florida team and Wofford last week and Vanderbilt for their last 3 wins. They don't have a great offense as it ranks 104th averaging 352 yards a game and will struggle to get yards against Clemson's tough defense. Take Clemson |

11-25-17 | Wisconsin -17.5 v. Minnesota | 31-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
                       WISCONSIN @ MINNESOTA The Badgers will try to stay undefeated if they want o get to the Championship series. Even though they are undefeated a weaker schedule has them probably having to run the table and win the Big 10 championship. They lead the Big 10 in scoring defense allowing just 13.7 a game. Their offense is 2nd in the conference running the ball as they average 239 yards a game. They have won their last 5 games by at least 14 points and held their last 7 opponents to 17 points or less. Minnesota has scored 20 of their 29 offensive TD's on the ground but good run defenses have slowed them down as last week's 39-0 loss to Northwestern. They don't have a passing game so Wisconsin should be able to control both sides of the ball as the Gopher defense gives up over 160 yards on the ground and 175 yards in the air. Take Wisconsin |

11-25-17 | North Carolina +16 v. NC State | 21-33 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
                    NORTH CAROLINA @ NORTH CAROLINA ST The Tar Heels take on in state rivals No Carolina St. The Tarheels have been playing their best football all year and have won 2 straight after dropping 6 in a row. They have finally settled on a QB who has thrown 6 TD's without a pick the last 2 games and 475 yards. Their defense has played better as well allowing 24 points or less in 3 of their last 5 games The Wolfpack have been trending in the other direction having lost 3 of their last 4 games and being held to 24 points in 3 of their last 4 as well. They allowed over 30 points in all 3 of their losses and it was the first time an opponent scored 30 points so their defense has been questionable. Given the huge spread and the rivalry I an going with the Tarheels. Take North Carolina |

                          OHIO ST @ MICHIGAN Ohio St shook off their loss to Iowa with 2 straight wins including a big 48-3 win over the Spartans. Both of their latest wins were at home and now they have to face the #4 defense in the country on the road. Michigan also has the best pass defense in college football allowing just 144 yards a game. Their offense is no slouch as the scored at least 33 points in 3 of their last 4 games. Their last 2 losses were on the road to Wisconsin and Penn St. The Wolverines would like nothing more than to beat their arch rivals after losing last season in a controversial finish. Take Michigan |

                         GEORGIA @ GEORGIA TECH The Bulldogs are stinging after their beating at the hands of Auburn but bounced back with a big win over Kentucky. Both of these teams run and both are in the top 10 in that category. Tech has had their troubles losing 3 of their last 4 but all 3 losses were on the road while at home they are 5-0. This will be Tech's biggest game so far and Georgia needs a win to continue their run to the College Football Championship and Tech needs a win to get into a bowl game, The Yellow Jackets have the 29th ranked defense that allows just 342 yards a game and they will be ready for this one. The winner in 7 of the last 10 meetings won by less than double digits. Take Georgia Tech |

                            GIANTS @ REDSKINS NY is having one of their worst seasons in a long time. Their 24th ranked offense scores just 16.2 points a game which ranks them 30th in the league as they have been held to 21 points or less in 6 games while not being able to score more than 24 points in any game. their defense might even be worse as they rank 31st in the league allowing 396 yards a game and 24.7 points. They can't stop the run and are ranked 30th while they also allow 264 yards in the air. Washington lost their last 2 games but scored over 30 points in each game and blew a late lead against the Saints before losing in OT. Their offense is ranked 9th as they average 359 yards a game and QB Cousins is ranked 3rd in the league with over 60% of his passes completed in 5 of his last 6 games. Take Washington |

11-23-17 | Vikings v. Lions +3 | 30-23 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 2 m | Show | |
                         VIKINGS @ LIONS Minnesota has won 6 straight games and their defense has led the way holding 5 of the 6 opponents to 17 points or less. Their offense has struggled a bit scoring 24 points or less in 4 of the wins and they are stronger against the run than the pass. That will be a big test against QB Stafford who is ranked 5th in passing yards and has thrown at least 2 TD passes in 5 of his last 6 games and has 12 of his 19 TD's over that stretch. He has led Detroit to 3 straight wins where they scored at least 27 points while the defense hasn't allowed more than 24 points in 5 of their last 7 games. Stafford has also completed over 60% of his passes in his last 4 games. Detroit has won by at least 7 points in 5 of their 6 wins. Take Detroit |

                         PURDUE VS TENNESSEE Purdue has won their first 4 games and scored over 100 points in 3 of them. Their other game was a 15 point win over a very competitive Marquette team that scored 94 points against a solid VCU squad. Purdue held them to 71 points and Purdue's defense also held them to 40% shooting from the floor from a team that was hitting 48%. The Boilermakers are scoring an amazing 102 points a game while shooting the lights out hitting 57% from the floor and 49% of their 3's. They are grabbing 43 boards and dishing out 23 assists a game. Their top 5 scorers and 2 top rebounders are all returning players and 4 are seniors to bring plenty of experience to an already good team. Their 8 top scorers are all hitting better than 52% with 4 of them above 60%. Tennessee comes in with 2 victories and they averaged 86 points a game and grab 43 boards. They were aided by a 28-0 run in one game and a 32-0 run in the other. The teams they beat weren't nearly as good as Purdue. They don't match up well with the Boilermakers as their leading rebounder is 6'5" and their big man in the middle averages less than 5 points a game and only 3 boards. Purdue will control the inside and will be almost impossible to slow down. Take Purdue |

11-21-17 | Miami-OH v. Ball State +18 | 28-7 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
                         MIAMI-OHIO @ BALL ST Miami has lost 5 of their last 7 games with losses in their last 3 road games. They allowed at least 45 points in 2 of the road losses while being held to 17 or less in 2 of them. They haven't scored more than 28 points in 7 of their last 9 games while allowing at least 27 points in 4 of their last 7. They are 2-9 ATS in the 11 games they played this season and 1-6 in their last 7 games while going 0-4 ATS in their last 4 on the road. Ball St has had a terrible year and have lost 8 straight games. They have 4 of their last 5 losses against the top teams in the MAC who have a combined 22-6 record and are playing a team that they should be able to stay close with. This is a big spread for Miami to cover in a meaningless game for them. Take Ball State |

11-21-17 | Bowling Green v. Eastern Michigan -12.5 | 31-34 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
                      BOWLING GREEN @ EASTERN MICHIGAN The Falcons have lost 4 of their last 5 games and allowed at least 38 points in each loss and a whopping 66 points in their last game. Their defense is ranked 126th in the country allowing over 500 yards a game and giving up 38.4 points which ranks them 124th. Their offense scores less than 25 points a game while their 1 win in their last 5 games was against the 2-9 Kent St golden Flashes who are at the bottom of the division. The Eagles are 4-7 but 6 of those losses were by 7 points or less and they have covered the spread in 8 of their 11 games. They have a tough defense ranked 39th that allows less than 23 points and under 360 total yards a game. They are very tough against the pass as they are ranked 20th. They had some tough losses against some good teams like a 5 point loss to Toledo and a 3 point loss on the road to Northern Illinois and a 4 point loss to Kentucky on the road. Take Eastern Michigan |

                        TEXAS A&M VS PENN ST Texas A&M brings back their top 5 scorers and 4 of them were the top 4 rebounders as well. They score 81 points and grab 42 boards while dishing out 19 assists a game. They won their first 2 games including a 23 point win against West Va. in their 1st game and then had a 19 point win. Then they got their top rebounder back from last season who sat out the first 2 games and they trounced Oklahoma St. He played 24 minutes and scored 11 points and had a team high 11 boards. They held all 3 opponents to 65 points or less and won each game by at least 17 points. They shoot over 49% from the floor and drain over 46% of their 3's. Penn St has won all 5 of their games as they score 80 points and grab 40 boards a game with 4 of their top scorers back. They held their last 4 opponents below 70 points and hammered Pittsburgh by 31 points in their last game. They haven't played as tough a schedule as the Aggies so far and their leading scorer is hobbled with a bad ankle but will probably play. The Aggies have held opponents to hitting 22% of their 3's. Take Texas A&M |

                          MARQUETTE VS VCU Marquette was overwhelmed by Purdue's size in their 86-71 loss in their last game. Purdue scored almost at will in the paint with their big man getting 22 in only 20 minutes. They score 76 points a game but average just 29 rebounds and 13 assists. They bring back 2 key players from last year but both are 5'11" guards. They lost their 2 leading rebounders and have just 1 senior on their roster. So far their scoring and rebounding are down from last season. VCU scored 95 and 94 points in their first 2 games which they won and then in their last game fell short on a 9 point loss to Virginia. They controlled the boards in all their games and won the battle in their loss 36-26 but allowed too many easy baskets towards the end of the game against a very good Virginia team. They bring back 2 seniors who are part of their top 3 scorers and Tillman a senior who led them in rebounding. They grab 42 boards and average 85 points a game while shooting 48% from the floor and 39% of their 3's. Marquette will have a hard time with their experienced big front line and that gives VCU a big advantage. Take VCU |

11-20-17 | Georgia Southern v. Missouri State | 74-73 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
                         GEORGIA SOUTHERN VS MISSOURI ST The Eagles are 3-0 after beating a depleted Wake forest team that lost it's 3 top players who led them in scoring and rebounding and a Division ll Bluefield St team that just help pad the stats for the Eagles. They average 94 points and grab 45 boards a game but 120 points and 68 rebounds were in that last game when they beat Bluefield 120-52. I didn't like the fact that Bluefield grabbed 41 rebounds themselves while committing 25 TO's. Their other win was against Cal Bakersfield who won their only game against a Division lll school. They have a small team and 2 returning seniors but lost their 2 top scorers and leaders of the team. Missouri St is 2-1 scoring at least 85 points in the 2 wins and in their loss outrebounded N Dakota but missed open shots. They bring back their top 5 scorers and top 2 rebounders and 4 seniors with 3 of them leading the team in scoring. three of their top 4 scorers are hitting over 50% from the floor while the team grabs 44 boards and scores 75 points a game while their front line is tough and experienced.

11-19-17 | Boise State +1 v. Iowa State | 64-75 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
                         BOISE ST VS IOWA ST Boise St has jumped out to a good start and is 4-0 as they held all 4 opponents below 70 points while scoring at least 82 points in 3 games. They also won by at least 18 points in 3 of the games while in the only game they didn't win by double digits they had a 9 point halftime lead but were outrebounded 47-30 by a very big team with 3 starters who are seniors. UTEP played a very tough 2nd half, outscoring them 26-10 over a 10 minute stretch but Boise St held on for the win. They are averaging 84 points and 42 boards shooting 47% from the floor and 43% from downtown. Their 3 top scorers who all average at least 14 points a game are returning from last year while 2 are seniors and 3 are at least 6'6". They also have a 6'11" junior center which gives them a huge and experienced front line. Iowa St has won 2 games and scored 80 points in 1 game and over 100 in the other after being held to less than 60 in their first 2 losses. Their 1 returning player has sparked them in the 2 wins and leads the team scoring with 17 a game. They average 75 points and grab 34 boards a game but seem to be outclassed for this game let alone being the favorite. Take Boise State |

                       COLORADO ST VS FLORIDA ST The Rams have 2 wins against 2 schools who have an 0-2 record and a 1-2 record and both teams come from weaker conferences and they had to come from being down by 7 at the half to beat Winthrop. Their last game they were crushed by Tulane who held them to 14 1st half points. They average 68 points and grab 45 boards a game but shoot 40% from the floor and hit just 26% of their 3's. They lost their leading scorer and top rebounder who was also their 2nd leading scorer from last year's team and have just 1 senior on the team. Florida St has wins by more than 20 points each while holding their last opponent to 43 points. They have 6 returning players and 1 starter from last season and average 77 points and 39 boards a game while shooting 53% from the floor. They have 5 players averaging at least 4 rebounds a game and that's due to a huge lineup. They have 6 of the 7 players that are getting at least 20 minutes a game no shorter than 6'5". Their top 4 scorers average double digits and at least 5.5 boards a game. Take Florida State |

                        DAYTON VS OLD DOMINION Dayton lost their top 3 players from last season who were the top 3 in scoring while 2 of them were the top 2 rebounders. They are 2-1 and both wins were against opponents that are weaker and have lost 2 games already. They average 75 points and grab 38 boards and are hitting just 29% of their 3's which were a big part of their game last season when they hit 39% led by players they lost. Old Dominion is 3-1 and has held all 3 opponents below 60 points and won their last game 62-44. They play great defense and last season only 4 teams scored at least 70 points out of 31 games. They average 63 points and 38 boards while 4 of their top 5 scorers and 2 of their top 3 rebounders all return. They were 19-12 last season and 12-6 in conference games and they averaged 64 points and 38 boards which is almost exactly their stats as of now. They have good size and experience as 4 seniors and 9 total players return. Take Old Dominion |

11-19-17 | Patriots v. Raiders +7.5 | 33-8 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
                             PATRIOTS VS RAIDERS New England has won 5 straight games but their offense has been held to 24 points in 4 of the 5 wins but last week scored 41 against a reeling Denver team. Their offense leads the league with over 409 total yards a game and they score over 28 points a game. Most of those yards are courtesy of QB Brady who leads the league with over 300 yards a game passing. Their weakness is the defense which is ranked 30th and allows over 400 yards a game with the bulk of it through the air as they are dead last in the league allowing over 287 yards a game. Oakland had a rough October as they lost 4 games when their offense was held below 17 points in all 4 losses. QB Carr was hurt in 1 of those games and had to be replaced and then he missed the next game which they also lost. He has come back strong as he passed for over 1000 yards and threw 5 TD's in his last 3 games. He should have a great deal of success against the Pats secondary while Oakland's defense allows less than 24 points a game so the spread in an away game for both teams favors the Raiders. Take Oakland |

11-19-17 | Bengals +3 v. Broncos | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
                           BENGALS @ BRONCOS Cincinnati suffered their 3rd loss in their last 4 games when Tennessee scored the winning TD with under a minute left in the game. In all fairness those 3 losses were all on the road and they haven't allowed more than 24 points in 4 of their 6 losses but their offense is ranked dead last and average only 16.6 points a game. Their 12th ranked points allowed defense (20.2 a game) isn't enough to keep the team winning and even though QB Dalton has over 2000 yards and 13 TD passes their running game ranked dead last is hurting them. They average just 70 yards on the ground and rushed for 3 TD's total. Denver isn't playing any better and have lost 5 straight games and 6 of 7 overall. Their offense is also in trouble as they have scored less than 20 points in 6 of those 7 games. They are ranked 23rd in total offense while scoring 18.4 points a game while their passing game ranked 19th at 215 yards a game, is hurting them. The Bengals have played better over the last month and should have no problem keeping Denver out of the end zone. Take Cincinnati |

                           JAGUARS @ BROWNS Jacksonville is having a great season as they have won 3 straight games and 4 of their last 5. Their defense which is ranked 1st in total yards, has allowed 17 points or less in 5 of their last 7 games and are also 1st in points allowed with 14.9 a game. Offensively they lead the league with 163 rushing yards a game while scoring over 25 points a game and they have won by double digits in 5 of their last 6 wins. Cleveland is still looking for their 1st win after losing their first 9 games. They have lost by double digits in 4 of their last 6 losses and allowed over 30 points in 5 of their last 7. Their offense can't score and have been held to 17 points or less in 7 of their 9 losses. This is basically a game where the hottest team is playing the worst team and the spread in a TD. i'll take my chances with the best team today. Take Jacksonville |

The offense is led by 5th ranked QB Stafford who has 17 TD's with just 5 picks and passed for over 2400 yards. They are ranked 9th with over 250 passing yards a game while scoring over 27 a game which ranks them 6th. Their defense allows 102 rushing yards and only 23 points a game. They are 3-1 on the road and have won 7 of their last 8 meetings with the Bears. Chicago is 3-6 and have lost 4 of their last 6 games while the offense has scored 17 points or less in 5 of those 6 games. They are 29th in the league in total offense and 28th in points scored with 16.7 a game and scored 17 points or less in 4 of their 5 home games. Take Detroit |

11-19-17 | Ravens v. Packers +115 | 23-0 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
                           RAVENS @ PACKERS Baltimore has lost 3 of their last 4 games and 5 of 7 overall. Their offense which is ranked 30th in the league scored 24 points or less in 5 of the 7 games and needed OT to get the 24 points. Their passing game is ranked dead last while they score only 21 points a game. QB Flacco has only 8 TD passes but has thrown 10 interceptions and their offense is full of walking wounded. They do have the 5th ranked defense but don't play the run well as they are ranked 28th against the rush. Green Bay has had their own problems with injuries buy none bigger than losing QB Rodgers. They won their 1st game since he was injured in a loss to Minnesota after losing the first 2 without him. Their defense didn't play that poorly but could only do so much as in the 2 losses had the game get away from them in the 4th quarter. Their defense plays a bend but don't break game as they allow 23 points a game and 350 total yards. They are 3-2 at home with both losses in the weeks following the injury to Rodgers. The Baltimore offense could be a blessing as they try and put another win up. Take Green Bay |

11-19-17 | Bucs v. Dolphins +2 | 30-20 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
                             BUCS @ DOLPHINS Tampa Bay broke a 5 game losing streak with a weak 15-10 win last week over the Jets. They have scored 15 points or less in 4 of their last 6 games and it gets worse as they lost their starting QB Winston for a few weeks. They score just 19 points a game and they can't run averaging just 82 yards a game so losing Winston was their only offense. They won't get much help from the 26th ranked defense that allows over 376 total yards a game and is 29th against the pass allowing 266 yards a game. The Dolphins have lost 3 straight and were hammered 45-21 by Carolina in their last game but lost a hard fought 27-24 game to the Raiders the week before. QB Cutler has passed for over 1500 yards and 12 TD's while completing 65% of his passes. He has thrown at least 2 TD passes in 4 straight games and just 3 picks over that stretch as one of the bright spots on the team. The defense has been inconsistent but has done well against the pass. The Bucs could be just what they need to get them in the win column again. Take Miami |

USC has come on strong and won 5 of their last 6 games while the offense scored at least 28 points in all 5 wins and at least 38 points in 4 of them. They run for 200 yards and pass for almost 300 yards a game while the defense allows 26 points a game and are good against the pass allowing only 235 yards a game. it will be hard for UCLA to hold off this offense that has come on strong and a defense that has helped the Trojans to go 6-0 at home and winning 4 by double digits. Take USC |

11-18-17 | Illinois +40 v. Ohio State | 14-52 | Win | 100 | 98 h 43 m | Show | |
                         ILLINOIS @ OHIO STATE Illinois lost 8 straight games but in 5 of their last 7 losses haven't allowed an opponent to score 30 points. The problem is their offense that hasn't scored more than 24 points in any of their losses. This is also by far the biggest spread they have been as an underdog and they have covered the spread 3 of the last 4 games they were a double digit dog. Their 69th ranked defense allows just over 400 yards a game but only allows 200 yards through the air. We know all about the Ohio St team and their 8-2 record. Their last 3 games have been a roller coaster ride for them as they came back to beat Penn St 39-38 and then were mauled 55-24 by Iowa before destroying the Spartans 48-3 last week. This could be a let down spot for them and a game they could overlook Illinois who are playing with nothing to lose. It's a lot to ask of any team to cover a 40 point spread. Take Illinois |

                         RUTGERS @ INDIANA Rutgers has played better than expected as their last 2 losses have been on the road to Penn St and Michigan. They also have another loss to Ohio St but have won games against 3 other Big 10 schools. Having said all of this it should be noted that they have covered the spread in 5 straight games and 7 of the 9 games they played. Their defense has played well and are pretty good against the pass allowing just over 200 yards a game and 35 points. Indiana will have to stop a running game that averages over 166 yards a game. They are just 1-6 in conference and have lost 4 of their last 5 games while scoring 17 points or less in 3 of their last 4. They are 0-6-1 ATS in their last 7 games and as a double digit favorite this will be another tough game to cover. Take Rutgers |

                            TCU @ TEXAS TECH TCU is 8-2 with wins against Texas as well as wins against Kansas St and Oklahoma St both on the road. Their defense has been the spark and they are 8th in the country in points allowed at 16,8 a game. They will need a lot of help defensively because their offense is missing some key players who were scratched late. The are playing Texas Tech who is just 2-5 in conference and have lost 5 of their last 7 games. Their defense hasn't played well and are ranked 105th in points allowed as they give up over 33 a game and are one dimensional on offense with only a strong passing game. They have allowed over 40 points in 3 of their last 4 losses and their last 2 wins were against Baylor and Kansas who are the only 2 teams worse than they are in the standings with a combined 1-13 record in conference. Take TCU |

                           VIRGINIA @ MIAMI Virginia has played below what they are capable of in losing 3 of their last 4 games. They were down just 17-14 at the half last week against Louisville before letting the game slip away and the week before the beat an excellent Georgia tech team 40-36 while holding the explosive Tech team to under 400 yards. They held a good Pitt offense to just 310 yards but made too many mistakes including a 75 yard punt return for a TD in that loss. They had a 5-1 record prior to their last few games and their defense is not as bad as their recent games. They are 40th in the country in total defense and are good against the pass allowing less than 200 yards a game. Miami has gone undefeated and seems to be improving each game. they scored a season high 41 points against Notre Dame last week but had scored less than 30 points in the 5 previous games while 4 of their last 6 wins were by 8 points or less. That offense is ranked 65th and averages 450 yards a game with most of it in the air. This could be a real let down spot after last week's big win so that spread against this Virginia defense is a little too big. Take Virginia |

They have a great defense that has held 8 of their 10 opponents to 17 points or less and are ranked 3rd in total defense and 9th in points allowed at 16.4 a game. Their 255 yards in total offense a game is 3rd in the country while their offense which put up over 30 points in each of the last 3 games, rushes for over 200 yards which has had them controlling the ball in many of their games. Their last loss was to Penn St on the road and their other loss was to arch rival Michigan St. Wisconsin is 10-0 after their big win over Iowa last week. They have had a rather easy schedule and their last 3 wins were against 3 Big 10 bottom feeders with a combined 3-18 conference record. They only have 2 wins against teams with records above .500 and this is a really good spot for a letdown after last week's win. This is a great time to have the Wolverines as a TD underdog.

11-17-17 | Virginia v. VCU +8 | 76-67 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
                          VIRGINIA @ VCU Virginia lost most of last year's team starting with leading scorer and point guard Perrantes who graduated and then had 3 other players lost because of transfers. They have a couple of freshman they will have to rely on and they helped in the first 2 wins along with a solid defense. It remains to be seen how this team will play against some of the better teams with their change of players and this game will be a good test for them. VCU won their first 2 games and scored 94 and 95 points. They are led by returning senior Tillman who is averaging over 20 points a game and a 6'7" transfer Lane who is also a senior as he averages 14 points and 6 boards so far. They have 5 double digit scorers and grab 46 boards a game. They are hitting 48% from the floor and 40% of their 3's. With 2 returning seniors and another senior playing as a transfer there is plenty of experience and size to give them a solid team. Take VCU |

11-15-17 | Ball State v. Oklahoma -15 | 69-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
                           BALL ST @ OKLAHOMA Ball St lost 78-77 in their 1st game to Dayton a team that lost 3 players who were their top 3 scorers, their top 2 rebounders as well as 2 of their top 3 assist leaders. Ball St lost 2 of their top 3 scorers from last season while going just 11-7 in their division but overall had a decent offense. but their defense was a problem as they were ranked 275th last year allowing over 75 points a game and against an offensive powerhouse like the Sooners that is not good. Oklahoma scored 109 points on 56% shooting with 6 players scoring in double digits. They also dished out 21 assists and grabbed 46 boards. They bring back 4 of their top 6 scorers and a freshman guard led the scoring as well as dishing out 10 assists.

11-14-17 | George Washington +16 v. Florida State | 67-87 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
                       GEORGE WASHINGTON @ FLORIDA ST George Washington opened the season with a big 84-75 win over Howard. They had a very smooth offense that scored at least 40 points in each half led by senior Yuta Watanabe who scored 19 points and grabbed 11 boards to go along with 7 blocked shots. He was 1 of 5 players who scored in double digits while the team grabbed 41 rebounds. They have 5 returning players from last year's team including 2 seniors. They won 8 of their last 11 games of the year while holding 8 of their last 12 opponents to 70 points or less. Florida St won 26 games last year and made it to the 2nd round of the NCAA Championship where they were knocked out by Xavier. They cracked the Top 10 ranking for awhile and had a 12 game winning streak at 1 point during the season. They are a different team this year as they lost their top 3 scorers who were responsible for half of the teams points while 1 was also the leading rebounder. They are in a rebuilding stage as their leading returning high scorer averages just 8.4 points a game. In their 1 meeting last season the Seminoles won 67-48 but they were outrebounded 52-42 and George Washington was without Watanabe their 2nd leading scorer. This is a big spread to cover for a lesser talented Seminole team compared to last season. Take George Washington  |

11-14-17 | Michigan State +2.5 v. Duke | 81-88 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
                            DUKE VS MICHIGAN ST Duke won their first 2 games convincingly against Elon and then Utah Valley. Neither are comparable to #2 ranked Michigan St. Duke will be starting 4 freshman and senior Grayson Allen who is the only returning player among the top 6 scorers. The Spartans will have 4 of their 5 top scorers from last year returning and they will be a year wiser. Duke beat the Spartans in the ACC Big 10 Challenge but Michigan had 3 freshman in key positions while the game was at Duke. The Spartans have an advantage with experience and Duke doesn't have much for a backup if things get out of hand and they fall behind by 10 points or more. They will also have most of their scorers on the floor with the starting 5 and if they need additional points they will be hard to come by. This will be the first big test for the "kids" from Duke and the Spartans will be looking for some revenge after last year's defeat. I feel Michigan has the edge plus they are the dog. Take Michigan State |

11-13-17 | Wisc-Milwaukee +13.5 v. Iowa State | 74-56 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
                         WISC- MILWAUKEE @ IOWA ST The Panthers with a 10 point win while putting up 83 points and shooting over 62% from the floor. They have 6 of their top 7 scorers returning, and last season they won 3 of their last 4 games played while not losing by more than 11 points in 8 of their last 10 losses. They shoot the ball well from 3 point land and shot 35% from there last year. The Cyclones lost almost everyone from their team last season and have only 1 starter returning as they are rebuilding. They were beaten badly by Missouri 74-59 in their 1st game shooting 39% and grabbed just 27 rebounds. All these bad numbers were against a team that lost 13 straight games at 1 point last season and ended up losing 21 of their last 24 games they played. They had 4 players who averaged double digit scoring getting a minimum of over 12 points a game and they are no longer with the team. They all also played at least 29 minutes with the next closest player at 17 minutes. This is a big spread for a team in the middle of rebuilding. Take Wisc-Milwaukee |

11-12-17 | Cowboys +3.5 v. Falcons | 7-27 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
                               COWBOYS @ FALCONS Dallas has one of the best offenses in the league and has scored at least 28 points in 6 straight games. They are ranked 7th averaging 370 yards a game and are 4th best as they score 28.3 points a game. They led the league in rushing last year and this year are 2nd with over 148 rushing yards a game. They are led by QB Prescott with over 1800 yards passing and 16 TD's. Their problem had been their defense which allowed at least 35 points in each of their 3 losses. But since their last loss, they allowed 19 points or less in 3 straight wins. Atlanta has lost 4 of their last 5 games and their high powered offense from last year isn't the same. They have scored over 30 points in just 2 games while in those last 4 losses haven't scored more than 17 points in any of them. They average 372 yards a game but score only 21.3 points which ranks them 17th in the league. They aren't bad defensively as they allowed no more than 23 points in 7 of their games including all 4 of their losses. The biggest offensive problem may be QB Ryan who has thrown only 11 TD's and 7 picks and a running game that has scored only 6 TD's. Their only win since September has been over the struggling Jets by 5 points. Take Dallas |
