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

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

12-17-16 | Wake Forest v. Xavier -10 | Top | 65-69 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
The Demon Deacons last played a week ago and just completed mid-term exams Not an ideal scenario for taking on the experienced Musketeers. Xavier won last season in Winston-Salem by eight -- after trailing by 18 -- and is better, from early indications, this year. The X-Men covered in all but one of their previous five home dates. Take Xavier. 5* |

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

12-17-16 | Ohio State v. UCLA -9 | Top | 73-86 | Win | 100 | 5 h 19 m | Show |
The Buckeyes’ moderate pace and sticky defense could slow the Bruins’ runaway train. Until then, UCLA is the college version of Golden State, with an endless loop of passing and a killer fast break. The Bruins have covered in eight straight, while Ohio State is 4-9 ATS in its last 13. The Bruins should have more crowd backing in Las Vegas which is a very short flight, and OSU is 3-15 ATS in its prior 18 neutral-court affairs. 5* |
|||||||
12-16-16 | Lakers +2 v. 76ers | Top | 100-89 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
After a promising start the Lakers have dropped eight straight games, including Wednesday's 107-97 defeat at the Brooklyn Nets. Former Sixer Lou Williams scored 16 points off the bench for Los Angeles in that one, and leads the team with a career-best 19.2 average. After the loss the Lakers HC Luke Walton ripped into the team stating that they need more energy. I look for a much better effort tonight from LA who takes on the 76ers who keep changing up their lineup hoping to fight the right fit. The Lakers only shot 38% last game and 22% from the 3pt line. They also missed 13 FT's in that game against the Nets. Both teams are young, but look for LA to bounce back get the win on the road tonight. 5* |
|||||||
12-15-16 | College of Charleston v. East Carolina -2 | Top | 53-35 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
The East Carolina Pirates are a team that’s relied on their defense to win games as this group also stands 7-3 overall ranking 16th in the nation in total defense and 292nd in scoring average. East Carolina has consistently beaten the easier teams on their slate so far in the nonconference, while coming up short against teams like Charlotte, Mercer, and in their last outing on the road against Virginia by a final of 53-76. ECU has three guys averaging in double figures scoring with Caleb White leading the charge averaging 14 points per game. We like the Pirates to come through at home against a rusty Charleston group as they win and cover the spread. 5* |
|||||||
12-14-16 | Middle Tennessee v. Belmont +2 | Top | 79-66 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 48 m | Show |
Despite Belmonts record they have played a much tougher schedule with some losses to quality opponents. They have also been good at home historically. The Belmont Bruins are expected to compete in the upper tier of the OVC again this season. They survived in their last outing getting past Lipscomb on the road by a final of 78-76 in what was another less than dominant performance from the Bruins. Top returner Evan Bradds leads the team averaging 21.3 points per game. Look for Belmont to come out strong and focused playing at home tonight and notch us the win and cover. 5* |
|||||||
12-14-16 | Lakers v. Nets -1.5 | Top | 97-107 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show |
10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Nets are coming off back-to-back losses at San Antonio and Houston, but they played the Rockets tough on Monday losing by just four points. PG Jeremy Lin returned from a hamstring injury and collected 10 points and seven assists in 20 minutes off the bench, a nice boost for the Nets after him missing the last 17 games. When he is in the game the team plays much better overall and I expect Lin to see more court time tonight. The Lakers are just 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall while the Nets have covered the spread in four of their last five. The reeling LA Lakers have dropped seven straight games, and Luke Walton was ejcted in their last game at Sac. The Nets have good perimeter shooters and I like their chances at home tonight. |

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

12-12-16 | Ravens v. Patriots -6 | Top | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
The Patriots are looking just fine without the services of Gronk and with their ability to move the ball up and down the field any way they choose it really doesn’t matter how elite the opposing defense is. Tom Brady is leading the New England offense to be top six in the league in both rushing and passing and is not going to be slowing down no matter who is in or out of the lineup. New England is allowing only 17.3 points per game this season and really could be regarded as the best unit on that side of the ball this season. Take the Patriots to get the win and cover in this one as they are the better team in this matchup and now this line has come down to 6 has me licking my chops. 5* |
|||||||
12-11-16 | Saints +2 v. Bucs | Top | 11-16 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
The Saints are sitting at 5-7 and still alive for a playoff spot. New Orleans QB Drew Brees is coming off a tough game where he threw 3 INT's. He normally takes good care of the ball and I expect him and the Saints who have the top ranked offense in the league and 2nd in the league in points to bounce back in a big way on Sunday. The Saints have the top passing offense in the entire NFL averaging almost 320 yards a game and they are scoring almost 30 a game ranking second in the league behind Atlanta. The Saints offense was held in check last week by the Detroit Lions and I do not see that happening again-not two weeks in a row. If the defense can keep Tampa to 20-24 points I think we have a great edge to win this play. Tampa is only 2-4 at home and the Saints have won 8 of the last 9 between the two teams. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK |

12-11-16 | Broncos +1.5 v. Titans | Top | 10-13 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 2 m | Show |
Broncos QB Trevor Siemian is reportedly making progress from his foot injury and should play Sunday against the Titans. However, I'd like Denver in this spot, regardless of who is behind center. The Titans have a top-10 offense, but most of their numbers were amassed in a just a couple of games. They have been held to 17 points or fewer four times, and most of their wins have come against weaker competition. The Broncos have one of the leagues top defensive units which is only allowing 192 passing yards a game and have 36 sacks, both of which lead the NFL. While the Titans defense is 21st in takeaways, and 26th in passing. The Titans secondary is also very weak. Take the DENVER BRONCOS in this one. 5* |

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

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

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

12-10-16 | Army +6 v. Navy | Top | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 30 h 21 m | Show |
Navy has won 14 straight against Army, but the Midshipmen will be without starting QB and leading rusher Will North as well as starting slotback and team captain Toneo Gulley. Both were injured in last week's loss to Temple, as were the two back-up slotbacks who are still questionable for Saturday.

12-09-16 | Pistons -3 v. Wolves | Top | 117-90 | Win | 100 | 5 h 51 m | Show |
The Minnesota Timberwolves rough season continued with a 124-110 loss at Toronto on Thursday. They were competitive and hung in there for most of the game until the score ran away late in the fourth quarter. I think the fact that the Wolves played hard last night in Toronto then had to travel from Canada and they will come up tired tonight. Detroit had won three straight on the road, covering the spread in each game, before losing 87-77 at Charlotte on Wednesday in a game where Charlotte had 29 FT attempts and Detroit had 8. Pistons HC Stan Van Gundy ripped into the refs and his team after this game. Marcus Morris who averages 14 ppg and 5 rebounds also left the game with a stomach bug. The Pistons also just shot 38% from the field and 14.8% from the 3-point arc. Detroit is 12-12 on the season and 6-4 in their last 10 games. The offense may not be great (99.2 ppg), but the club's 2nd ranked scoring defense makes up for it (96.3 ppg). Take Detroit here on Friday night. 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK |

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

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

12-07-16 | Buffalo v. Pittsburgh -12.5 | Top | 79-84 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
The Buffalo Bulls are coming off back to back road losses against Creighton and Saint Bonaventure, and things don’t get any easier for the Bulls as they head into their third consecutive road game. Fatigue has to be a concern for Buffalo coming into this matchup, especially when considering how hard this squad plays on a nightly basis. The Bulls have been challenging themselves so far this season standing 4-4 overall with their best win coming by 2 points against Weber State. This group is picked to finish in the mid-tier of the MAC this season and Blake Hamilton leads the charge averaging 17.6 points. The Pitt Panthers bring in a new coaching staff this season and fortunately for the fans and coaches the cupboard isn’t bare as this group has the pieces to compete for a spot in the NCAA tournament this year. It’ll be interesting to see where this program goes in the future after having a lot of success under head coach Dixon. Pitt has opened the year 6-2 overall with some of their better wins coming against Marquette, Yale, and Maryland. Pitt is coming off an upset defeat losing to Duquesne the other day by a final of 55-64 in what was by far the worst offensive performance of the year for the Panthers. The Panthers will have the best two players on the court today with Young and Artis who’s both averaging around 20 points per game. The Panthers will have the home court advantage here and some incentive to bounce back coming off the terrible offensive performance in their last game. PITT WINS BIG! 5* |

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

12-06-16 | Old Dominion v. Rhode Island -9.5 | Top | 39-51 | Win | 100 | 6 h 41 m | Show |
The Rhode Island Rams are in need of some wins after coming off back to back true road losses against quality competition in Valpo and Providence. The Rams are expected to make the NCAA tournament this season, but they it will be tough with the resume they’ve put together early on. The Rams stand 5-3 overall with their best wins coming against Cincinnati and Belmont. In their last outing Rhode Island gave Providence a run on the road losing to the Friars by a final of 60-63. The Rams have a lot of veteran talent. Rhode Island also has a strong home court advantage and the Rams bring a big edge on the offensive side of the ball into this matchup. We like for Rhode Island to come through as they win and cover the spread. 5* |
|||||||
12-05-16 | Colts -1 v. Jets | Top | 41-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
The Colts look like they’ll have the services of Andrew Luck in this game. And while the Jets have played better defensively over the last two weeks, their offense still struggles to find consistency. I think that Indy does have an advantage coming off a longer than usual week, especially as it relates to the health of their injured stars. Luck and Hilton being back at full health is so big for the Colts and the Jets are on the other side of the coin with multiple injuries in their secondary. Indy is far from perfect but they play the kind of style that exposes the weaknesses of the Jets and the normally porous Colt defense is helped by facing a rather unimpressive offense. There isn’t much to play for in New York these days and coming off an emotional week against the Patriots probably puts them at risk for a letdown effort. Trust the team that has the better offense and a much better QB in this Monday night marquee. 5* |

12-05-16 | Connecticut v. Syracuse -8.5 | Top | 52-50 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
Syracuse is a bit underrated here. If there is a coach that gets his team up for certain games it is Jim Boeheim. Remember, Connecticut is down a bit this year as they are just a top 80 team as this is not the team that won the NCAA Tournament back in 2014. They have lost a great deal of talent and this is the same team that has lost to Wagner by double-digits, Northeastern, only beat Loyola Marymount by 3 points on the road and beat Chaminade by 11 points who is not even a Division 1 school. The Syracuse 2-3 Zone is going to smother Uconn due to poor outside shooting. We like Syracuse to get it done here in a big way! 10* BLOWOUT |

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

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

12-03-16 | Penn State +3 v. Wisconsin | Top | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
Penn State continues to be underrated. The Nittany Lions have been on fire offensively in all facets. Wisconsin plays extremely well defensively but its offense doesn’t have the firepower needed to keep pace. At some point, the Badgers' defense will be on the field longer than expected, and look for Penn State to capitalize. Penn State and Trace McSorley have surprised many this season - and Saquon Barkley is always an option for the Lions offense. His 15 rushing TDs and 5.3 YPC is more than enough to shake any team lined up looking at him in the backfield. And when Barkley has the ball, he can make plays - simple as that. Barkley has put together 7 games with 80+ YDs on the ground - including two games of 200 or more. Different story vs a team that has had a lockdown on running games all season long. PSU knows that when Barkley has the ball - he is very hard to stop with the ball is in the hands, and the Lions will try and get him touches. But it won't be enough. Penn St has won 8 straight and Wisconsin has relied on forcing turnovers the second half of the season, with a +11 margin the past four games. Penn St rarely turns the ball over and I'll take the Red Hot Nittany Lions here on Saturday night plus the points. 10* |

12-02-16 | Rockets v. Nuggets -5 | Top | 128-110 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 22 m | Show |
The Denver Nuggets, coming off a tough loss at home to the Miami Heat, play host to the Houston Rockets who are coming off a double overtime win last night in Oakland over the Golden State Warriors. Now they are tired and have to play in high altitude in Denver. The Denver Nuggets are sneakily sitting at 7-11 on the season and while that is obviously not a sterling record, it shows that this team is capable of getting wins on a nightly basis. The Nuggets are starting to get healthy right now and even though they don’t play much defense the pace they play is really going to help them in this game as Houston is going to be completely exhausted after their marathon win last night. Take Denver to get the win and cover at home as the Rockets are really going to be too tired to even really play and with Harden really providing the entirety of their offense there is just no chance that he is going to play with high energy tonight. .5* |

12-02-16 | Colorado v. Washington -8 | Top | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show |
The Washington Huskies were the talk of the town in the preseason as a dark horse candidate to win the Pac 12. Washington went on to prove their hype worthy as the Huskies stand 11-1 overall and 8-1 in conference heading into a compelling matchup against the Buffaloes. The Huskies closed things out in impressive fashion getting past Washington State on the road last week by a final of 45-17. Washington’s only loss on the year came a few weeks back at home against USC by a final of 13-26. With the division on the line, Washington played with tremendous confidence and poise in their rivalry matchup against the Cougars. In the win QB Jake Browning went on to complete 21/29 passes for 292 yards and 3 TDs to 0 INTs, while the ground game added 168 yards and 3 TDs on 35 carries. Outside of their loss against USC, Washington has looked consistently dominant in Pac 12 play including a tremendous blowout win against their rival last week. Colorado has been picking up a lot of win in conference play, but there's no question they've had a tough battle getting to this spot with a number of close calls. We like this Washington squad to close the deal as they have the better QB, defense and Special Teams. Take Washington by double digits tonight! 5* |

12-01-16 | Cowboys -3 v. Vikings | Top | 17-15 | Loss | -115 | 31 h 33 m | Show |
The Dallas Cowboys, coming off a solid Thanksgiving Day win over the Washington Redskins, and now go on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings who are coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions after a late INT by Sam Bradford. The Vikings are sitting at 6-5 on the season right now and have to be a little concerned about recent trends as they have dropped five of their last six overall. Sam Bradford seems to not be panning out in Minnesota just like he hasn’t at every stop in his career and is coming off an absolute stinker of a game against the Lions. Offensively, there is very little to like with the Vikes. Bradford can connect on short passes well, but thats about it. The Dallas Cowboys are looking like one of the best teams in the league and with two rookies leading the way for the offense you have to look a little deeper to find out why this team is playing at such an elite level. The Cowboys defense has been excellent this season and very much under the radar as the offense really gets all the credit. They play great defense in the redzone and I expect them to blitz the hell out of Bradford. Take the Cowboys to get the win and cover in this one as they are the better overall team and with the Vikings offense basically looking nonexistent this should be an easy win for Dallas here on Thursday night. The Cowboys are 9-1-1 ATS this year and I like them to get their 10th spread victory here on Thursday and get us the cash.     10* |

12-01-16 | Bucks -5.5 v. Nets | Top | 111-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show |
The Milwaukee Bucks, coming off a solid win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, go on the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets who are fresh off a shocking win over the LA Clippers but have only managed five total wins on the season. The Brooklyn Nets have had a tough way to go this season overall mostly due to their abysmal defense which is allowing a staggering 114.5 points per game. The Nets have had some injury problems this season and when they get healthy I see them being a slightly better team but even then they are not going to be threatening for a playoff spot. The Milwaukee Bucks are now sitting at 8-8 on the season and having won three of their last four overall are clearly starting to trend in a very positive direction. Milwaukee is a young and talented team and now that they are healthy and have their full roster available things are definitely looking up for this long suffering franchise. The Bucks have solid ball movement and rebounding and continue to build on the defensive end of the floor. Take the Bucks to get the win and cover here on Thursday night. 5* |

12-01-16 | Oral Roberts v. Oakland -14 | Top | 64-92 | Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show |
The Oakland Golden Grizzlies lost one of the top scorers in college basketball this past offseason, but this group reloaded nicely as they remain a serious threat to win the Horizon this year. Oakland has gotten off to a great start this season standing 6-1 overall heading into this winnable matchup against one of the lesser teams in D1 basketball. Oakland loves to get out and run and this group currently ranks 33rd in the nation in scoring. We dont expect much this year from Oral Roberts this season and anything except a blowout win by the Golden Grizzlies would be a surprise in this matchup. Oakland has a nice home crowd advantage and this group has been playing well as of late. Take OAKLAND in a BLOWOUT! 5* |

11-30-16 | Virginia Tech v. Michigan -6 | Top | 73-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
The Michigan Wolverines got off to a red hot start to their season including some really nice blowout wins on a neutral site against SMU and Marquette. Michigan laid an egg however in their recent loss on the road against South Carolina, but the Wolverines got back on track in their last contest beating Mount Saint Mary’s at home by a final of 64-47. Michigan has a lot of veteran players in their backcourt and guys like Walton and Irvin have led the team averaging 13.8 and 12.8 points per game respectively. Michigan has shown up and come to play at their highest level in some of their tougher matchups this season and their only poor performance came in a true road setting. I think Michigan at home gets the win and cover. 5* |
|||||||
11-30-16 | Purdue +6 v. Louisville | Top | 64-71 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
The Purdue Boilermakers bring back one of the best frontcourt groups in the nation and based on their strength down low the Boilermakers are going to be a threat competing for the Big Ten title this season. Purdue has opened the year 5-1 overall with their one defeat coming in a competitive matchup at home against an elite Villanova squad. Purdue has the experience to compete at a high level in a tough road environment and we like for the Boilermakers to stay competitive in this one as this one comes down to the final horn and we'll take the Underdog Purdue in this one. 5* |
|||||||
11-29-16 | Georgia Tech v. Penn State -7 | Top | 60-67 | Push | 0 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
Both of these teams have 4 wins, but we roll with Penn State here, a team in the Big10 here at home. We have gone against Georgia Tech in the past and it is no surprise for us to do here. Josh Pastner's team is a decent squad and the former Memphis coach will take this team to new heights over due time. This is a Penn State team that is top 80 in defense, a team that lost to Duke by 10 points, lost to a good Albany team by 6 points and just beat a good George Washington team by 8 points on the road, while GT has played a very soft schedule. I'm back Penn St at home in this one. 5* |
|||||||
11-29-16 | Pittsburgh +4.5 v. Maryland | Top | 73-59 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
The Pitt Panthers bring back more than enough veteran talent to make a push for the NCAA tournament this season and Pitt has opened 5-1 overall with their one defeat coming against SMU on a neutral site. The Panthers been very competitive in their tougher matchup. Veteran forward Michael Young leads the team averaging 23.3 points per game. The Maryland Terps lost a lot of veteran talent this past offseason with just 1 starter returning and it’ll be interesting to see how this reformed group continues to mature together standing 7-0 overall early on in the year. Maryland hasn’t gone against the toughest slate by any means. This should be a very competitive matchup between two teams and even with going into the road atmosphere we like for the veteran Panthers to keep things competitive enough to get the 4.5 pt cover. 5* |
|||||||
11-28-16 | Packers +4 v. Eagles | Top | 27-13 | Win | 100 | 21 h 23 m | Show |
Technically both of these teams are alive in the Playoff hunt, but they’re quickly falling out of the race. Whichever team loses on Monday night might as well turn their attention to next season, and I think that team will be the Packers. At some point the Packers will start to figure it out on both sides of the ball. GB gave up 515 yards to the Redskins last Sunday so I expect them to be much better vs the Eagles.
Entering Week 12, Rodgers has completed 259 of 410 passes for 2,761 yards, 25 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, which gives him a 96 passer rating. I like the better QB in a must win game to keep their playoff hopes alive. 5* |

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

11-27-16 | Chargers -2 v. Texans | Top | 21-13 | Win | 100 | 13 h 18 m | Show |
Houston is on a short week having played in Mexico on MNF. San Diego is well rested coming off of their BYE week. SD has the much better QB this game with Rivers and he is coming off a loss and one of the worst games he played in a while throwing 4 INT's.  All 6 of San Diego’s losses were one possession games. Texans are only averaging 4.7 yards per play, which is the 2nd worst in the league. San Diego comes in prepared, rested and they get the WIN on there road here.. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK! |
|||||||
11-27-16 | Cardinals v. Falcons -4 | Top | 19-38 | Win | 100 | 13 h 15 m | Show |
5* The most impressive thing is that Atlanta has found a way to win in every way possible, with running the ball, attacking the QB, and even their special teams game. Atlanta has an offense that is virtually impossible to defend. The Falcons off a BYE and of course are one of the league's premier offenses, leading the league in points scored and net yards per attempt. At home, I think they'll be able to handle a good Arizona defense that hasn't been tested all that much this year. Carson Palmer has struggled this year and we have a west coast team playing early and the Falcons are rested. Cardinals are 1-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record Take ATLANTA at home as Julio Jones has a monster game here. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Florida +7.5 v. Florida State | Top | 13-31 | Loss | -108 | 27 h 18 m | Show |
Last week, the Gators went into Baton Rouge and upset #16 LSU with the help of a defensive stand at the goal line in the waning seconds of the game. The win not only clinched the Gators into the SEC Championship Game but it also sent a clear message that they can compete with any team in the nation. However despite the struggles, injuries, and inconsistencies, the Florida Gators have remained resilient with an 8-2 SU mark on the season. A large part of that success can be accredited to the Florida defense that has yielded just 282 total yards per game which ranks 5th in the FBS. In fact if you throw out the loss to Arkansas, you could make the case that Florida has been hottest team in the SEC and perhaps one of the hottest teams in the country during the 2nd half of the college football season.

11-26-16 | Texas-Arlington +2.5 v. Fordham | Top | 67-63 | Win | 100 | 4 h 28 m | Show |
THis Texas Arlington team is 3-3 but they are a solid team. They've played some big schools while Fordham played a cupcake schedule so far. The public just assumes that the 5 win team is better than the 3 win team. But, take a closer look, Texas Arlington has faced the likes of Minnesota, Florida Gulf Coast (a top 100 team and Arkansas (only lost by 4 points). Hence, this is a great chance for Texas Arlington who did not play particularly well against Mount St. Mary's to really focus and get a big win here over Fordham. Texas Arl has 5 players averaging 9 points or more and give a balanced attack. |
|||||||
11-26-16 | Rutgers v. Maryland -14 | Top | 13-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 48 m | Show |
I’ve seen the Terps play live against Michigan State and came away highly impressed with their ability to run the ball and create turnovers. I've seen Rutgers play as well and they are bad. They've lost four games this season by scores of 39-0, 49-0, 58-0, and 78-0. As you can see once they fall behind they give up. RU has major issues on offense, in all three facets: passing, rushing and blocking. 5* |

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

11-25-16 | Mercer -2.5 v. East Carolina | Top | 70-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
We roll with Mercer here as they hook up against East Carolina. Bob Hoffman is the same coach that took down Duke a couple years ago in the NCAAB Tournament. He has been a long-term installment at Mercer Basketball after the exit of Mark Slonaker - who was actually named Coach of the Year at one point. The Bears come off a 11 point win over Radford where they played horrendously. They could have just been looking forward to this game which is likely the case. They have played some big named schools over the years and have done very well as there is no intimidation factor as they roll into East Carolina. This team did not play well in their last game despite the win and East Carolina has not faced a quality caliber team in the top 160 like Mercer. The only team they played similar was Charlotte who they lost to by 12 points. I'm backing Mercer here on the road on Friday evening. 5* |
|||||||
11-25-16 | Houston v. Memphis +6.5 | Top | 44-48 | Win | 100 | 2 h 30 m | Show |
Memphis looked good on last Friday with a dominant win over Cincinnati. The defense did its job, holding Cincy to one fourth quarter score. QB Riley Ferguson left the game after appearing to take a hit to the head and is questionable for this game. In his absence, Jason Stewart did well on 13-for-15 passing with two TD throws. They got two touchdowns on the ground by leading rusher Doroland Dorceus. Through the air, Phil Mayhue and Anthony Miller were both productive. With 38.7 points a game, this is an offense that can do damage. Memphis also had a very good defense. It was impressive how well the Memphis defense played against Cincinnati last week, holding the Bearcats to just a garbage touchdown late in the game. They are a defense that might not be all that robust on a consistent basis, but they can make things happen, as they have forced 25 turnovers this season and I'll back them at home as a nice dog this afternoon.  5* |

11-24-16 | Vikings +1.5 v. Lions | Top | 13-16 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 12 m | Show |
Detroit has trailed in the fourth quarter every game and has pulled out six wins The problem is they don't run the ball anymore (14 yards last wk vs Jax) and the Vikings defense will beat this one-dimension offenses. The Vikings stopped their free fall last week with a 30-24 win over the Cardinals despite 10 penalties and just 217 yards of total offense. Their defense and special teams accounted for two return TD's to help make up the difference. On Thursday, they will look for revenge against a Lions team that made a 58-yard field goal to force overtime and take a 22-16 win in Minnesota a few weeks ago. Look for the Vikings’ third-ranked defense to disrupt Matthew Stafford here today with the short week.  Football is a game of adjustments, and playing a team twice in three weeks will yield itself to a very close game. This time however, I think the Vikings, because of their defense, get the win on Thanksgiving afternoon.  5* |

11-23-16 | Michigan -4 v. South Carolina | Top | 46-61 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Michigan has yet to be tested this year and I like them to win big here on Wednesday afternoon. They are averaging 77 ppg and shooting 47% from the field through 4 games. The Wolverines also have 6 players averaging 8 points or more for the season so its a nice balanced attack. SC is very young and I like Michigan to get to the FT line and take care of business defensively on the perimeter. Many of the kids will be heading home for Thanksgiving so SC wont have a huge home court edge. Take Michigan here in this matchup as they've been off since Friday and had a very intense 4 hr practice on Saturday afternoon and developed a lot of offensive sets and inbound plays preparing for this game. 10* |

11-22-16 | Towson -3 v. Boston College | Top | 70-80 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
The Towson Tigers have a good shot at pushing for the conference crown in the CAA bringing some solid pieces back to a team that won 20 games last year. Towson is a physical group and should control the boards and the game tempo tonight. They lost to a solid Maryland team and also beat GeoMason in their 1st game.  They won 20 games with Pat Skerry at the helm after winning 12 games the year before and off a loss to Maryland in their previous game. Look for Towson to bounce back with a big win tonight! 5* |

11-21-16 | Texans v. Raiders -5.5 | Top | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 23 h 53 m | Show |
This game will be played in Mexico City on a neutral site. The biggest x-factor is Raiders QB Derek Carr, who has great chemistry with his wideouts and has shown above-average ability in situational football and making great decisions this year. I think Oakland wins this one by at least a touchdown as they've been great on the road this season going a perfect 5-0. The Raiders' defense has started to round into form and I expect them to beat Houston the way they did Denver with a mauling offensive line that creates running lanes and gives Derek Carr a clean pocket. 5* |
|||||||
11-21-16 | Tennessee v. Wisconsin -13 | Top | 62-74 | Loss | -111 | 1 h 13 m | Show |
I look for the Wisc Badgers to win this game in a blowout here in early action on Monday at 230pm EST. The Baders are a top 10 power ranking team and could not have played worse in their last game against Chicago State, a team outside the top 300 in the nation and a game they won by just 18 points. There wasn't even a line made for that game to just tell you the blowout that was expected. They also lost to a very good Creighton team their only challenge of the year by 12 points on the road. We like the fact that both these teams are 2-1 and Wisconsin will use the fact that this is an SEC school to their motivation and could bring down the hammer here. The Vols are 1-8-1 ATS following a straight up win, and Wisky should roll this afternoon in Hawaii. 5* |

11-20-16 | Eagles v. Seahawks -6.5 | Top | 15-26 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
Last Sunday we had a top 10* play on the Eagles, but this week we'll go against them. Seattle is a more difficult environment is play in especially for a rookie QB. Since week 5 Eagles QB Carson Wentz has one of the lowest QB ratings in the league. Look for the Seahawks to put a lot of pressure on him. The Eagles have been incredible at home, especially on defense, but on the road is another story where their only win has come at Chicago. Philly is 0-4 ATS on the road. Russell Wilson just played his best game of the season and it came against the best team in the league Sunday night with a win over the Pats. He's apparently healthy again and I expect his upward trend to continue Sunday. Look for Seattle to get the win and cover here on Sunday evening. 10* GOW. |

11-20-16 | Bills +2.5 v. Bengals | Top | 16-12 | Win | 100 | 3 h 58 m | Show |
The Bengals are off a tough loss on MNF and also on a short week. Buffalo is now a Top 10 team on the efficiency numbers and coming off of their BYE week. Buffalo has been its own worst enemy, which is why they’re 4-5 and losers of three straight. I think this is a very winnable game for Buffalo as the Bengals are banged up and several players were limited this week in practice. 5* |
|||||||
11-19-16 | Stanford v. California +10.5 | Top | 45-31 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
At home, California should put the Cardinal defense to the test. And it has been highly susceptible to big plays. Back California to cover as they have a ton of speed on offense and they must win out to have a shot at a bowl game. They've also lost 3 in a row all versus ranked opponents. Stanford is known for running the ball. Hopefully to eat up the clock and as a double digit favorite, make it hard to cover that many points on the road. With a home crowd for rivalry week, and the must-win stakes at play, Cal needs to come out aggressively early. Cal just needs to limit Christian McCaffrey's yards and I like CAL to keep this game close and we'll back the home underdog here on Saturday afternoon. 10* Diamond in the Rough |

11-19-16 | San Diego State v. Wyoming +10 | Top | 33-34 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
This game has San Diego St moving from sunny California surf weather to the cold cold weather of Wyoming. San Diego State has already clinched the West, and now it’s just playing for fun and its the temp is going to be in the 40's.  Wyoming’s been amazing at home, so far this season and the strength of this Wyoming team is their offense so they will have to hope they can use that and energy of the crowd to pull of the upset. Wyoming still controls its own destiny in the race for the division title, but there is no more room for error and will play accordingly. Take the home underdog with Wyoming. 10* Game of the Month |

11-17-16 | Louisville -14.5 v. Houston | Top | 10-36 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
In the beginning of the season, this looked like a primetime marquee matchup.  Now, it doesn’t have the same luster. The biggest difference in this game will be the Cardinals' secondary. This is a group that helps in run support in addition to being great vs. the pass. Louisville won’t have an issue getting off the field against the Cougars and they are going to want to win and win big to try and move up in the rankings. Take Louisville as a 5* Play. |

11-17-16 | Elon -5 v. South Florida | Top | 74-61 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
 This is a good spot here for Elon who is from the Colonial Athletic Conference and though it might seem odd for a smaller school here to be favored by the more well known school in South Florida, there is good reason for it. Elon comes off a loss to Charlotte in their last game at home by 5 points and this team is coached by Matt Matheny. This team won 16 games last year, 18 games 2 years ago and 21 games 3 years ago. This team has a very good coaching staff and understands the importance of big games such as this for this smaller school. Elon is a top 100 offensive team and they face a South Florida team that though is 1-0, they beat one of the worst teams in the country Florida A&M by 11 points. This team won 8 games last year and 9 games the year before. This team does not have the coaching prowess yet that it needs for this type of program and consequently, we like Elon who is the better team offensively to get it done here on the road. 5* |

11-16-16 | San Francisco v. UC-Santa Barbara -5.5 | Top | 75-63 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
Santa Barbara is coming off a terrible game in their opener. They shot the ball poorly, got outrebounded, didn't get to the FT line and had 19 turnovers. I expect them to have a fire lit under their ass tonight. They might kill San Francisco tonight. UCSB is a 19 win team from last year, is a top 75 defense from last year and only lost by 2 to Arizona State last year, played USC and Oregon State tough as well. This team will be more than motivated with their senior leadership to get it done here and look to bounce-back very quickly against this weak San Fran squad.  10* |

11-15-16 | Hornets v. Wolves +1.5 | Top | 115-108 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
With Wiggins leading the charge, Minnesota has been among league's best offensive teams. The Timberwolves are ninth in the league in scoring, averaging 107.9 points per game. I like what Head Coach Tom Thibodeau is doing with this team. The Hornets are a little banged up so I'll back the TWolves here at home tonight. 5* |

11-15-16 | Oregon +2.5 v. Baylor | Top | 49-66 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 38 m | Show |
The high-powered Ducks are without scoring leader Dillon Brooks, who is out indefinitely with a foot injury. However, they have three other returning starters from last year’s 31-win club and should have plenty of options Tuesday afternoon against Baylor. Meanwhile, the Bears were among the biggest underachievers in college basketball relative to their talent level, raising questions about internal discord. Baylor lost its top three players from last year and I think Oregon is the more talented and better-coached team, and will back the Ducks as an underdog here. 5* |

The Cincinatti Bengals season is on the line here sitting at 3-4-1 and coming their BYE week. Here's another case of the wrong team being favored. Cincinnati comes off a bye and my projections show the Bengals winning by a field goal. They will be highly motivated coming off a BYE and also off a rare tie game through OT. |

11-14-16 | Texas-Arlington +2 v. Minnesota | Top | 67-84 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 39 m | Show |
UT Head coach Scott Cross loves playing the role of the underdog and going against the bigger schools with something to prove. He coached UT-Arlington to some very nice road efforts against major conference opposition last season. Minnesota had all kinds of trouble in their first game on Friday keeping their opponent off the offensive glass and the Gophers also committed 19 turnovers. I like the considerable edge in experience on the road team’s side, and I like them on the road with their size and experience getting 2 points. Take Texas Arlington. 5* |

The Eagles have lost four of five, but they've been dominant in their three home games this year. Philly won those over Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Minnesota by an average of 20 points. Atlanta comes in after winning two shootouts and I beleive this will be much more of a grind. 10* GAME OF THE WEEK |

11-13-16 | Packers v. Titans +3 | Top | 25-47 | Win | 100 | 4 h 5 m | Show |
Despite the Packers' struggles at 4-4, they remain a public team when it comes to casual bettors. With the public piling on the Packers, this line is severely inflated. While Green Bay has lost two straight, including one to the uneven Colts in a game they never felt competitive in, the Titans have been on a roll offensively, scoring at least 26 points in each of their last five games and getting great QB play with a 4-5 record. A strong Packers rush defense has wilted against elite competition, and that label applies to the Titans' running game. Expect a lot of points and a Titans win in the end here at home and they'll even up their record at 5-5. 5* |

If you are 0-5 in conference play and the worst team in the SEC, why are you a 3.5 point favorite against Vanderbilt who is 4-5 ? Missouri hasn’t had a problem putting up points in the last several games and Vanderbilt doesn’t have a particularly potent offense. 10* GAME OF THE WEEK |

11-12-16 | Baylor v. Oklahoma -17.5 | Top | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 3 h 24 m | Show |
After a 6-0 start, Baylor has lost 2 straight and last week were crushed at home by TCU 62-22. With an interim coach, a depth-shy roster that will see them playing without RB Linwood here (suspension) and a lot of off-field turmoil, this is a team that you need to fade immediately. It’s not like they’ve been good anyways this year at 2-6 ATS while playing a very soft schedule. On the other side, Oklahoma has a couple of extra days to prepare following a 34-24 win at Iowa St last Thursday. They are 6-0 in Big 12 play and welcome back RB’s Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon this week. No doubt the Sooners want revenge from an embarrassing 48-14 (+5.5) home loss to the Bears 2 years ago and they’ll get it in easy fashion over a dumpster fire Baylor team. The recipe for the Oklahoma Sooners is to try and win with Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma is getting ready for a very tough 3 game stretch and needs to win every game convincingly. BLOWOUT CITY HERE! 5* |

11-11-16 | Indiana v. Kansas -5.5 | Top | 103-99 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 5 m | Show |
No. 2 Kansas vs. No. 12 Indiana at the neutral site at the Armed Forces Classic in Hawaii. I have high hopes for Indiana this season, but the Jayhawks are simply the much more talented team at this point in the season. Kansas returns Frank Mason III and Devonte' Graham in the backcourt that will face a Hoosiers team without Yogi Ferrell. 6-8 freshman Josh Jackson will make his college basketball debut for the Jayhawks and I'm projecting him to have an immediate impact and play a large role in the offense. Indiana might keep it close for a while, but the Hawks will pull away and win by 10 or more.  5* |

11-11-16 | Michigan State v. Arizona +1.5 | Top | 63-65 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show |
Reputation appears to be playing a big role in this season opener, as the Spartans are rebuilding after losing almost all of their key contributors from last season. Gone are program icon Denzel Valentine, point guard Bryn Forbes and rugged forward Matt Costello. Still, in a battle of teams that historically start slow, many will prefer a team coached by Tom Izzo than Sean Miller. But Arizona has two of the Pac-12’s better returning players in guards Allonzo Trier and Kadeem Allen. The Wildcats should have a slight edge on opening night. 5* |
|||||||
11-10-16 | UL-Lafayette v. Georgia Southern -7 | Top | 33-26 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
UL Laff is only averaging 13 PPG in their last 3 games and Geo Souther is capible of putting up points quickly. Â Georgia Southern gets to go against some more gashable defensive units here over the next two weeks 2 which are at home, which should help their cause. This is a must win game for the Eagles if they're going to get to 6 wins and hopes for a Bowl game. I like Geo Southern to win this one by double digits on Thursday night. 5* |

11-09-16 | Toledo -7 v. Northern Illinois | Top | 31-24 | Push | 0 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
We've got great weather for tonight's game being played at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago, with temperatures at 49 degrees and very little wind. Toledo has lost six straight to NIU and the road team has covered the last five meetings. That means that none of the Toledo players have ever beat perennial MAC power NIU, and this is surely Toledo's best chance. Everyone in the MAC has been picking on the Huskies, as they've won only three games to six losses. Toledo's offenses averages 553 ypg and averages a 40-22 margin score. It’s payback time for Toledo and I like them to get the job done tonight! 5* |
|||||||
11-08-16 | Wolves -4 v. Nets | Top | 110-119 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Minnesota hasn't been as sharp as most think, but they have the talent to get it together and should be rather strong as the season moves along. They've been in every game and also played some tough teams. The Nets are missing Jeremy Lyn and they dont have many scoring options. That turns into a problem here for the Nets because they struggle to score points. If this game turns into and up and down affair, the T-Wolves will eventually pull away and cover this number. I expect that pace, because Brooklyn even at home falls into the oppositions pace more often then not. Most likely Wiggins will draw the best scorer for the Nets and that will limit the over output of points for the Nets. The reason the T-Wolves are favored by 2 buckets here is because they are better. T-Wolves have had a tough schedule thus far, but this is by far the weakest team they will have seen all season long and I like Minn to get a big win here on Tuesday night.  5* |
|||||||
11-07-16 | Bills +7 v. Seahawks | Top | 25-31 | Win | 100 | 12 h 56 m | Show |
Except for the Patriots' revenge game last week, the Bills' losses have all come by less than a touchdown. Buffalo is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven against winning teams. This Seahawks' offense does not resemble the Patriots as Seattle has only scored 1 offensive TD in its last 2 games. Buffalo's defense and LeSean McCoy, who practiced all week, should do enough to stay within this number. |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Broncos +1 v. Raiders | Top | 20-30 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
We are going with the Denver Broncos here on Sunday night. Derek Carr has been sacked nine times in eight games, but I think the Broncos -- with DeMarcus Ware now at 100 percent -- will put enough pressure on him to limit Oakland's offense. The Oakland offense is good but their defense is bad. The Raiders have yet to cover a home game and are giving up a league-worst 6.5 yards per play. Back the Broncos to improve to 9-1-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings in this series. 5* |
|||||||
11-06-16 | Saints v. 49ers +4.5 | Top | 41-23 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Making a case for the 49ers against the offensively dangerous Saints is comparable. San Fran’s has had 2 weeks to prep for this game and I think their offense will be on track here at home. 10* NFL Game of the Week |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Iowa +6.5 v. Penn State | Top | 14-41 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
10* GAME OF THE WEEK: There’s big value on an Iowa squad that likely would have likely been favored in this matchup just a few weeks ago. This line is way out of wack just because Penn St is now ranked #12 in the Nation and they have a target on their back and this line is extremely inflated for unjust reasons. Iowa is tough on both sides of the ball and II believe Iowa can stop Barkley. Iowa coming in off a BYE after losing to Wisconsin with 2 weeks to prepare for this game. Iowa still has a ton to play for including a shot at the Big Ten Championship game if they win out. Iowa’s head coach Kirk Ferentz is 5-1 straight up and 4-2 ATS the last 6 times he is off a bye in the regular season. First of all Penn State has allowed 6 of 8 opponents to run for 150 or more yards. Iowa is 26-2 since the 2013 season when they are able to run for over 150+ yards which includes a 5-0 record this season. The three-loss Hawkeyes have underachieved but their rugged style is hard to separate from, and they should perform well as a nice juicy underdog here. |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Wisconsin v. Northwestern +6 | Top | 21-7 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 35 m | Show |
Northwestern is playing some great football during its 4-game ATS cover run and their QB Clayton Thorson has been a big reason why, throwing for 10 TDs and only 2 INT's. The Wildcats gave Ohio State a scare last week with an underrated defense and have road wins at Michigan State and Iowa during their 4-0 ATS run. I dont expect to see too many TD's in this game with a lot of FG kicks. I’m taking the Wildcats and the points as I think they continue the good play that they have shown over the last month. Also, the home team is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings.  5* |
|||||||
11-05-16 | Navy v. Notre Dame -7 | Top | 28-27 | Loss | -101 | 2 h 15 m | Show |
Last week’s win provided Notre Dame with a much needed boost in trying to turn their season around from utter failure to at least some redemption by attempting to get to a bowl game, something they can only do by winning three of their last four games to close out the year. Navy finds themselves in this week having to travel to Florida for the second straight week as this game is at a neutral site. The biggest question for the Midshipmen will be their pass defense. I think that’s a matchup Notre Dame can exploit in a big way. We know Navy’s offense will give the Irish problems, but can its defense get stops? Not enough, as the Fighting Irish win and cover by double digits I beleive. 5* |
|||||||
11-03-16 | Kings +1.5 v. Magic | Top | 94-102 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
Sacramento continues its road trip Thursday in Orl and this Kings team this year is solid and they play defense. While the Kings ran out of gas in their last game, I still like the floor spacing and offense they've showcased thus far. The Magic showed life in a comeback win against the 76ers. Still, the better team chemistry lies with the Kings, who should get enough production from DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay, and complementary scoring, to get the outright WIN as a small dog. 5* |
|||||||
11-02-16 | Bulls v. Celtics -3.5 | Top | 100-107 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
Chicago is off to a surprising 3-0 start as the Bulls have won and covered all 3 games including a pair of blowout victories over Indiana and Brooklyn. Look for Boston to be pumped up at home here tonight and playing aggressive. |
|||||||
11-01-16 | Warriors -4.5 v. Blazers | Top | 127-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show |
Golden State has struggled to start the season, but I love the Warriors tonight as less than five point favorites on the road in Portland. Kevin Durant and Draymond Green present pretty major matchup problems for a Portland team that has struggled defensively through three games. The Blazers might keep this close for 40 minutes, but the Warriors will pull away as I don't think the Blazers will be able to score enough points to win this game as Golden St just has too many weapons. 5* |
|||||||
10-31-16 | Vikings -4 v. Bears | Top | 10-20 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 26 m | Show |
The Bears are getting back Jay Cutler at QB, which on the surface looks like it’ll help the offense and the team. But do you trust Cutler and this Bears' offense going up against an angry Vikings team coming off its first loss? NO. Sam Bradford played terrible last week and I except him and the offense to come out hungry and fired up against a divisional opponent. The Vikings won the last three matchups and I like the Vikings to make it four in a row come Monday night minus the small number. I expect the Vikings defense to be tough in a low-scoring affair. 5* |
|||||||
10-30-16 | Eagles v. Cowboys -5 | Top | 23-29 | Win | 100 | 22 h 5 m | Show |
A BYE week plus the great play of QB Dak Prescott plus the return of WR Dez Bryant plus NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott pounding away at a defense allowing 4.5 yards per carry behind the best offensive line in football. The Cowboys defense has also been solid this year with Dallas yet to give up 100 yards to any rusher or receiver all year. The like Dallas at home with a run game with the fact that Dak Prescott plays efficient, mistake-free football, and that will be the difference with the boys playing at home. Look for Dallas to force some turnovers and get another big win and push their record to 6-1. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK. |

10-30-16 | Seahawks v. Saints +2 | Top | 20-25 | Win | 100 | 15 h 49 m | Show |
Seattle just played a tough 5 quarter game ending in a tie after OT against a tough Arizona team.

10-29-16 | Auburn v. Ole Miss +4.5 | Top | 40-29 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
Auburn is coming off an SEC record for most rushing yards last week against Ark. Ole Miss opened -1 and now Auburn in -4.5 because of the 56-3 blowout of Arkansas last week. Â This Ole Miss team has a ton of talent despite their record. . Remember that Ole Miss was ahead by three TD's against Florida St and Alabama but ended up losing both late. I'm all over the small dog with OLE MISS plus the points at home. 10* College Game of the Week |
|||||||
10-29-16 | Washington -10 v. Utah | Top | 31-24 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
The Oline of Utah has not been playing right. They allowed 5 sacks when matched up against UCLA - and Washington. Utah is also banged up on both sides of the ball. Washington can really push the ball down field, and Sophomore QB Jake Browning has been great this season - the Heisman hopeful is never afraid to make the play when he needs to. He has big targets who he can throw to at any time.

10-29-16 | Kentucky +6 v. Missouri | Top | 35-21 | Win | 100 | 3 h 38 m | Show |
Kentucky has a running game that can make plays, bottom line. The Wildcats have made plays with their strong ground game and their very good front push. Battling the Dline of the Tigers shouldn't be a tough to handle situation.
The Tigers are just not good and the Wildcats are playing pretty solid football with more to play for than Mizzou. One more win in SEC play should guarantee a bowl bid for Kentucky with Austin Peay left on the schedule.. Mizzu Tigers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 conference games Kentucky gets my call here on Saturday afternoon. 5* |

10-28-16 | San Diego State -5 v. Utah State | Top | 40-13 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
I expect the powerful Aztecs to have their way against a Utah State club that has been erratic this season. 5* |
|||||||
10-27-16 | Celtics -1 v. Bulls | Top | 99-105 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
I'm backing the Boston Celtics on Thursday night here as a 1 pt road fav. Don't believe anyone's tired this early in the season plus the Celtics were up 23 last night and took out the starters and that is how Brooklyn made it closer at the end.
 Since Brad Stevens took over, the Celtics are 40-17 ATS on the second night of back-to-backs. |
|||||||
10-27-16 | Ohio v. Toledo -17 | Top | 31-26 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
Toledo is an offensive high octane machine, their OL has a major advantage and so does their SPecial Teams. While Ohio U has played every game close they really haven't played anyone good outside of Tenn. Toledo is also a cover machine going 17-5 ATS their last 22 games overall, and I Toledo gets an impressive win tonight behind QB Logan Woodside. 5* |

10-26-16 | Rockets -6.5 v. Lakers | Top | 114-120 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
This is our only play today as we are passing in Baseball and Hockey. Lets keep this RED HOT RUN going as we are 13-2 our last 15 picks and taking the HOUSTON ROCKETS tonight. |

10-24-16 | Texans v. Broncos -7.5 | Top | 9-27 | Win | 100 | 22 h 11 m | Show |
Brock Osweiler returns to Denver after somehow getting the win over Indy last Sunday night. He has played terrible for most of the season so far. The Texans are 4-2 but they rank 30th in defense and looked absolutely terrible last Sunday before Indy melted down in the 2nd half. They're banged up in the secondary, which should help Trevor Siemian get back on track after struggling against the Chargers. Â Denver has posted a 3-1-1 ATS record in their last five games where they faced a team from the AFC 5* |

10-22-16 | Ohio State v. Penn State +19 | Top | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
Ohio State is coming off a tough 30-23 overtime win at Wisconsin last week in which the Buckeyes were outgained 450-411 in total yards and the players got beat up pretty good. Ohio State must now travel again and face a rested Penn State squad that is coming off their BYE week and well rested. Its raining there and going to be a sloppy cold game on Saturday night. Penn State has a solid 4-2 SU record this season with only one loss coming by more than three points. Look for a tight game and I'll take the pts with PENN ST at home.  5* |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Arkansas v. Auburn -10.5 | Top | 3-56 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
Auburn is still alive for the SEC title while Arkansas is officially out of the race. Ever since Gus Malzahn was put on the hot seat the team has stepped up on both sides of the ball. The Auburn Tigers come into the game on a three-game winning streak putting a a focus on the run game and trusting their better-than-average defense. Auburn’s defense is allowing just 16 points per game, and playing tougher than anyone in the country. Starting running back Kerryon Johnson and Kamryn Pettway have been a deadly duo with Johnson rushing for 538 yards on 105 carries with six scores and Pettway rushing 91 times for 505 yards with four touchdowns. I give major edges with Auburn here playing at home, getting 2 weeks to prepare for this game and their QB can beat you with his legs and arm. I think this game turns into a major blowout in the 2nd half. 10* BLOWOUT OF THE MONTH |
|||||||
10-22-16 | Wisconsin v. Iowa +4 | Top | 17-9 | Loss | -102 | 1 h 4 m | Show |
Wisconsin should be drained after playing close games and losing by a total of 14 points to Michigan and Ohio St. Now Iowa has to travel again to Iowa City and play a very good Iowa team. Both defenses are exceptional but Wisconsin's QB Alex Hornibrook's inexperience will be the difference. Four of Wisconsin's six games this season have had totals that have come in at 40 points or below. Look for a defensive battle and this game decided by a FG. I'll take the home underdog with IOWA plus the points.  10* |
|||||||
10-20-16 | BYU +7 v. Boise State | Top | 27-28 | Win | 100 | 9 h 29 m | Show |
BYU has a habit of being involved in wild, close games, as all of it contests except one this season have been decided by seven points or fewer. This isn't your usual Boise St team. The Broncos might be a bit overrated in the market as they struggled to get past mediocre Colorado State last week. The Cougars have the physicality to match the Broncos, and the touchdown spot is a strong position on this solid team who plays solid defense. Take BYU on THursday night. Â 5* |
|||||||
10-20-16 | Miami (Fla) +6.5 v. Virginia Tech | Top | 16-37 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
This is an intriguing game because you have two very good defenses facing two solid QBs and running games. But the Hokies' ground attack can be inconsistent. I like the Hurricanes to keep this one close with their tough defense and big play offense which is coming off a terrible game last week. 5* |
