5* Rookie QB Carson Wentz on the road, primetime, MNF so now let’s see how you handle the lime light. Of equal significance is the absence of TE Zach Ertz (rib), the recipient of six Wentz passes last Sunday.
This is a must win for Chicago frankly as they are in a very tough division and we'll back the Bears here at home on MNF. |

09-18-16 | Dolphins +6.5 v. Patriots | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 56 m | Show |
If you didn’t see the Dolphins play in Week 1, then all you see is another loss however if you saw the game, then you know they deserve more respect than they’re getting. The Dolphins, who are shaping up to be a more aggressive team under Adam Gase, will learn from their mistakes and their offense will get better. Their defense looks strong and I expect they’ll put a ton of pressure on Garoppolo. The Dolphins forced two turnovers and held Seattle in check all day but allowed a last-minute TD and lost 12-10. The public will likely continue to back New England based on Week 1 outcomes and all I heard all week is Jimmy Garoppolo and replacing Brady. Cant judge a guy off of one game performance. Not only do I think the Dolphins will cover the spread, I think they’ll win this game outright. 10* |

09-18-16 | Titans +6 v. Lions | Top | 16-15 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show |
The Titans took a 10-0 lead into halftime, and towards the end of the 3rd quarter were driving deep in Vikings’ territory up 10-6 at the time. A terrible decision by Mariota led to a 77-yard INT for a TD by the Vikings and another defensive TD on a fumble two drives later pretty much sealed the game for the visitors. Tenn should be able to move the ball against the Lions defense. But let’s not forget that the Titans looked pretty good for most of the game. Detroit is coming off a road win where they were involved in a shoot-out with the Colts. Indy D is horrible, and I don’t think it’ll be as easy against the Titans. One major issue for the Lions is that Levy is doubtful, and he’s their best linebacker. Against a Titans team that wants to run the ball, Detroit is going to be at a huge disadvantage in the middle level of their D. I actually expect a close game here and taking the underdog Titans here on Sunday. 5* |

09-17-16 | UCLA -3 v. BYU | Top | 17-14 | Push | 0 | 23 h 24 m | Show |
The UCLA Bruins come to Provo to take on the BYU Cougars in big week three late-game action. UCLA got on the right track last week with a routine 42-21 win over UNLV and are still looking to make up for their heartbreaking overtime loss to Texas A&M in week one. It’s a really big game for both teams. UCLA should really be 2-0. That week one loss was a bad one, as they came all the way back to tie A&M to get the game to overtime, only to see a few errors cost them the win. The UCLA defense was seen as the strength of this team, with a slew of returning starters and guys back from injuries, along with some compelling youngsters in the mix. We had BYU last week in a big revenge spot but their short screens and dip and dunking wont be enough to keep up with high powered UCLA. Just stop Tayson Hill and the Bruins will be fine. Look for UCLA to win big and QB Josh Rosen to have a monster game passing. 10* College Game of the Week |

09-17-16 | Georgia -6.5 v. Missouri | Top | 28-27 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 27 m | Show |
If you'd asked me to give you this number after Week 1 it would've been close to two TDs, now it's under one after Georgia sleepwalked to a 2-point win over Nicholls State and Mizzou hung 61 on Eastern Michigan. Both of those performances were outliers and Georgia is the significantly better team that will be feeling embarrassed after that showing. Mizzou's offense, despite what last week may suggest, is still not good and I like GEORGIA by double digits on the road here. 5* |

09-17-16 | Alabama v. Ole Miss +11 | Top | 48-43 | Win | 100 | 17 h 44 m | Show |
Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly made headlines when he declared himself the best quarterback in the country. In Week 1 against Florida State, he threw for three first-half scores while leading the Rebels to a 22-point lead. But a series of second-half turnovers spelled doom against the Seminoles. Kelly has a chance at redemption here at home against an Alabama team the Rebels have beaten in two straight. Nick Saban was unhappy with his team's effort in a win against Western Kentucky, and I think the Tide are in for a day-long fight against a home dog that has a history of giving them one. Mississippi has the firepower to hang within 11 points here as Ole Miss should be able to stop the Bama rushing attack. I like MISSISSIPPI at home as the double digit dog. 10* Underdog Diamond in the Rough |

09-17-16 | Florida State v. Louisville +1 | Top | 20-63 | Win | 100 | 13 h 28 m | Show |
The Cardinals have the nation's top-rated offense and they're facing a Seminoles defense that will be without preseason All-American defensive back Derwin James, who tore knee cartilage during last week's blowout of Charleston Southern. Last week Louisville just completely destroyed Syracuse inside the Carrier Dome in a 62-28 final. Quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 5 touchdowns as the Cardinals offense posted over 600 yards of total offense. Surprisingly 4 of Jackson’s touchdowns came on the ground as he rushed for 199 yards on 21 carries. After two straight weeks of huge performances, Jackson has started catching some national attention. The Cardinals quarterback has posted Heisman Trophy type numbers in his first two games of the season with 697 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 1 pick through the air along with another 318 yards with 6 touchdowns on the ground. I think the X-factor will be explosive QB Lamar Jackson. I like the Cardinals here at home to get a big win. 5* |

09-15-16 | Houston -7.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 40-16 | Win | 102 | 24 h 32 m | Show |
Last season in Houston, Cincinnati lost only 33-30. Houston, however, looks to be in a different class this year. Houston looks to be taking some people by surprise, but they didn’t just up and beat Oklahoma out of nowhere. This is one of four teams to face 4 ranked teams last season and beat them all. They defeated three of those opponents by double-digits, adding another double-digit win over a ranked opponent with their victory over Oklahoma in week 1. Cougars HC Herman seems to it going with this talented Houston bunch. The Houston offense has a lot of firepower, led by a versatile threat in Greg Ward, Jr. Houston is the much better team. The Cougars' starting QB and RB missed last week's 42-0 win over Lamar, but both are practicing and are fine for Thursday. Motivated Houston should win by 15 or more. 5* |

09-12-16 | Steelers -2.5 v. Redskins | Top | 38-16 | Win | 100 | 21 h 60 m | Show |

09-11-16 | Giants v. Cowboys +1.5 | Top | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
The Cowboys will start the year with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott who had stellar numbers during the preseason, completing 78% of his passes and scoring 7 total touchdowns with no interceptions thrown. The NY Giants dealt with some struggles offensively during the preseason, scoring 12 points per game. The X-factors are the Dallas weapons surrounding Prescott as he is playing behind one of the league’s best offensive lines in the NFL plus Ezekiel Elliott, Dez Bryant, Witten, and Cole Beasley at his disposal. It puts Prescott in a good position to manage the offense effectively, particularly against a Giants defense that still grades out as league average and one of the worst last season. I’ll support the home team here with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday evening. 10* |
|||||||
09-11-16 | Raiders +2.5 v. Saints | Top | 35-34 | Win | 102 | 4 h 47 m | Show |
I think that this is a great value on the Raiders. This is a very good young team that could be ready to compete in the AFC West. Derek Carr is one of the top young quarterbacks in the league. He leads a strong passing game and the Raiders boosted their offensive line to help them out. Look for Derek Carr, Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree and potentially rookie DeAndre Washington to light up the Superdome. An improved Raiders defense will do its job too. Carr has excellent arm strength, and his rhythm with Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree is always there. New Orleans is not the team it once was. They went 0-4 and looked terrible this preseason. They have questions all along the offensive line. The defense was still adding players that other teams cut. Raiders are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and get my call on Sunday here. 5* |
|||||||
09-10-16 | Virginia Tech v. Tennessee -11 | Top | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
Tennessee entered the season with high expectations under head coach, Butch Jones. Tennessee has a ton of talent and the SEC East is for the taking with a down South Carolina team, a Georgia team with a new coach and eventually a new QB, and a Florida team with the same question marks as Georgia for the most part. Look for the Vols offensive and defensive lines to play much better. They overlooked App St last Thursday for sure. Now you're getting QB Josh Dobbs and the Vols at a discounted rate in this game. Tennessee is the far superior team, and while I like new Hokies coach Justin Fuente, he doesn't have the horses to hang with the Vols. Jalen Hurd will have a monster game on the ground and Tennessee will get back on track in front of over 100,000 fans at home. VOLS by 21. 5* |

09-10-16 | BYU +3.5 v. Utah | Top | 19-20 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
Utah beat the Cougars in the Las Vegas Bowl last December 35-28. We had BYU in that Bowl game and it was one of our rare losers. BYU fell behind 35-0 early with 5 sloppy turnovers and then woke up and fell short by 7 pts. QB Taysom Hill leads the BYU Cougar offense. The 6’2 230-pound Hill is a senior who would like nothing more than to win the Holy War before he graduates. BYU just sneaked by the Arizona Wildcats in week one to open their season. A late field goal gave the Cougars a road win which they hope they can do again at Utah this weekend. BYU’s offense can be effective as they racked up plenty of yards throughout the game and did not turn the ball over. If the Cougars can remain consistent with their offensive schemes they will be in this game all the way to the finish. BYU looked to be clearly the better of these two teams at the line of scrimmage in that game last season and I like them to win this one outright on Saturday night! 10* COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK |

Cincinnati made a surprising move last week by starting QB Hayden Moore over the highly productive Gunner Kiel. Cincinnati was much better than its record suggested last year and they can score points in a hurry. They are the better team and after last week's lackluster showing I expect a much better effort against Big Ten team here on Saturday afternoon. 5* |

09-10-16 | Penn State v. Pittsburgh -4 | Top | 39-42 | Loss | -102 | 4 h 53 m | Show |
Penn St did not impress me last week. They had a pick-6 and the defense did not look that good overall. Pitt is a very good team and primed for a very strong season. This team returns 8 on offense and 8 on defense and is very strong up front on both sides of the ball and that will make the difference against a Penn State team that lost a lot of key defensive lineman to the NFL last year. Pitt has its way more or less running the ball and should pull away in the 2nd half and win this one by 10 or more. 10* Oddsmaker Mistake Play |

09-08-16 | Panthers -3 v. Broncos | Top | 20-21 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 20 m | Show |
Stepping into Peyton Manning's worn shoes is Trevor Siemian here on Thursday night. He takes his first legitimate NFL snap against last year's sixth-stingiest defense, which also ranked first in interceptions, tied for first in fumbles recovered and sixth in sacks. Good luck kid! Carolina also gets their best WR Kelvin Benjamin back from injury to go along with Ted Ginn Jr and TE Olsen. Look for the Panthers to make a statement here on Thursday night and win big by double digits. 5* |

09-05-16 | Ole Miss +6 v. Florida State | Top | 34-45 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
For a team whose quarterback has yet to take a snap in a live game, expectations are sky-high for the Seminoles. FSU will start QB redshirt freshman Deondre Francois. This cast is highlighted by all-purpose back Dalvin Cook, who rushed for 1,691 yards and 19 touchdowns despite missing some time because of injuries. However the Miss defense is very good and will stop the run and pressure the freshman QB. The Rebels are coming off a 10-win season that saw them upset Alabama for the second straight year. They have a stud at quarterback, with Chad Kelly who led the SEC in passing last season, and he threw a conference best 31 TD passes and passed for over 4000 yards. MISS Head Coach Hugh Freeze’s teams tend to thrive in an underdog role, and I expect them to perform well in a game where their opponent is receiving the majority of the headlines here on Monday night. 5* |

09-04-16 | Notre Dame v. Texas +3.5 | Top | 47-50 | Win | 100 | 22 h 23 m | Show |
Notre Dame has beaten Texas five straight times, including 38-3 in South Bend last season. This is a major revenge play for TEXAS here at home on Sunday night. Texas should be a better team than the one that got blasted by the Irish in last year's season opener in South Bend, Ind. But the Longhorns are throwing a freshman quarterback into the fire against a very aggressive defense that will give him lots of different looks and ltry to capitalize on his inexperience. With plenty of time to prepare for this game I like Texas and their speed to get the win and cover. 5* |

09-03-16 | North Carolina +3.5 v. Georgia | Top | 24-33 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
NC's defensive coordinator made a huge difference last year for the Tarheels. Their defense improved by 14.5 PPG. Heels QB Mitch Trubisky was a 4* recruit and he is more than capable of running a spread attack and he had 2 years of experience backing up Marquise Williams. NC still has RB Elijah Wood who is very good. Larry Fedora is a very good coach and NC has 13 returning starters back from last years team. North Carolina is an underrated program and this shapes up as a nice value pick. I like UNC to win outright here on Saturday evening and I love getting 3.5 points as the underdog. PLAY NORTH CAROLINA as our 10* GAME OF THE WEEK. |

09-03-16 | Kent State v. Penn State -23 | Top | 13-33 | Loss | -106 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
Trace McSorley is proficient enough to throw the deep ball with touch and more than tolerable precision. McSorley doesn't have a lot of experience behind him, but once he gets over the opening jitters - he will end up with good enough poise from pocket, and looking down the barrel of the D-line of Kent State isn’t going to shake him. If Kent State doesn't connect on the long passes they will not be in this game - bottom line. And with Malik Golden surveying the field from the safety position it is going to be a challenge. Missing tackles can be another big problem for Kent State - Nittany Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. MAC. Penn State wins this one big by 30 or more. 5* |
|||||||
09-03-16 | Missouri v. West Virginia -9.5 | Top | 11-26 | Win | 100 | 1 h 24 m | Show |
Morgantown is a brutal road trip first of all, and Mizzou has some issues at QB for sure this season. West Virgina is always tough at home. Mizzou has a new head coach, a scheme and all new coaches without Gary Pinkel around. Add in the fact they were a bottom feeder with little offense in the SEC last year, and this is West Virginia’s year to make or break Dana Holgorsen and they have a ton of weapons to do so. Junior college transfer, Natereace Strong, has various speeds as a runner and can call on second gear when he sees daylight. Other than their hopes for him - their running game is going to struggle. Problem is, the defense of West Virginia doesn't work well with allowing big chunk plays like he likes to put together. Skyler Howard has a great vibe offensively for West Virginia, after last year's high scoring season. He has the ability to move the ball - and will. J'Mon Moore is not going to get a ton of targets for MIzzou - Moore is normally a pretty dangerous guy, but this matchup is a nightmarish one for the lengthy WR. West Virginia will not let off the throttle in this one, they never do. Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games West Virginia wins by double digits here early action Saturday. 5* |
|||||||
09-02-16 | Army v. Temple -14.5 | Top | 28-13 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
I like Temple at home here on Friday night. We are going against a team who was 2-10 last year and might even be worse this season. Temple is a very good team and Army failed to cover its final six games playing well below their rating and then playing Navy tough in their big rivalry game to end their season. Temple comes off a fantastic 10-4 season and the key members of the offense all return -- 18 starters overall. Look for Temple to win by 24 points or more. 5* |
|||||||
09-01-16 | Indiana v. Florida International +11 | Top | 34-13 | Loss | -103 | 1 h 18 m | Show |
I like the home underdog in this matchup on Thursday night. Last year in Bloomington the Hoosiers beat FIU 36 -22 , but what a difference a year makes as it always does. The Hoosiers lost two huge pieces of their offense with Nate Sudfeld and Jordan Howard going to the NFL. The Hoosiers return only 6 starters to their offense and they will have competition at the QB position which will cause difficulty for the team early in the year. Indiana will rely heavily on their running game with Devine Redding who ran for just over 1,000 yds last yr being their main RB. The defensive returns 7 starters to what was a very porous unit last year ranking 120th. Florida INT returns 9 starters to their offense, led by 3rd year QB Alex McGough. McGough threw for 283 yards in Indiana last year and we see more success at home for McGough against the Hoosiers in this years game. They also have a new defensive coordinator so it will be tough for Indiana to prepare for as they dont know what to expect. I think this line is too high and I like Flor-INT with the double digits points here at home. 5* |

01-24-16 | Cardinals +3 v. Panthers | Top | 15-49 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
Arizona can and will exhaust the clock, tiring out the secondary of the Panthers. The Cards can play slower paced or fast paced, and I fully expect them to make the Panthers D tired. Arizona will be finding more appropriate running plays for David Johnson, which will spark the ground game for the weakended rushing of the Cards. The fact is David Johnson will be too quick hitting the holes they open up to the right side. Carolina will not move the ball with efficiency. Their defense is great, but Trai Turner can get beat up in the trenches, and Arizona has those kind of guys in there. OT Jared Veldheer from Arizona won't get beat by Carolina and the well below average pass rush of Charles Johnson. Jonathan Stewart is not giving them strong enough running between the tackles, and with him having tweaked his ankle recently it's going to make it that much more difficult. And that is where Carolina is going to have to work hardest, in this game. Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and Cam is going to have to have the game of his life to beat this well coached and very good Cards team. 5* |

01-24-16 | Patriots v. Broncos UNDER 44.5 | Top | 18-20 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
I dont think Manning is 100% and I see him throwing short passes. The Denver defense knows it has to play great and I expect to see a lot of FG attempts. The Pats aren't a quick score offense either as they like short quick passes. These two teams as you know hooked up earlier this year and the contest went over the posted total in a shootout. Expect the opposite here on Sunday afternoon as both defenses will be stout as this game likely falls under the posted total. The Under is 4-1 in the Patriots last 5 Championship Games and the Under is 5-1 for Denver in their last 6 home games when they face teams with a winning road record. Take the UNDER here on Sunday as our 10* Playoff Total of the Year. |

I'm taking the points with the Seahawks on Sunday here on the road. This is a much different Seattle team that the one Carolina beat back in October. And we should note that in that game, Seattle actually led by nine points (23-14) with less than five minutes to go in the game. Doug Baldwin has become Russell Wilson's favorite target since the Graham injury and the Seattle offense began calling plays that suit them best. Seattle enters on a 6-1-1 ATS run on the road against teams with a winning home record, and under Pete Carroll, the Seahawks are 19-6 ATS when playing with revenge, outscoring opponents by an average of 8 pts per game. Lets back Seattle as the small dog here on Sunday as our 10* NFL Playoffs Game of the Week. |

01-16-16 | Chiefs +5 v. Patriots | Top | 20-27 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
On Saturday, the AFC divisional playoffs begin, with the Kansas City Chiefs meeting the New England Patriots. I like the RED HOT Chiefs behind Alex Smith, a quarterback who controls the game and doesn't turn the ball over. Smith has been aided a great deal by the play of Chancandrick West and bruising Spencer Ware, a pair of backs who really helped fill the void left by Jamal Charles. Tight end Travis Kelce was a key part of the offense again on Saturday. A knee injury that looked really bad took out Kansas City’s leading receiver in Jeremy Maclin, but an MRI revealed no tears and if he can play through a sprain, that would really be a big help to the KC effort this Saturday. |

01-11-16 | Alabama -6.5 v. Clemson | Top | 45-40 | Loss | -108 | 24 h 19 m | Show |
I look for the Alabama SEC offense to have success in this one against an ACC defense that will get bowled over as Alabamas power with their running game early and, in turn, that forces the Tigers defense to crowd the line which will lead to some big opportunities for the Alabama aerial attack. The Crimson Tide scored 38 points against a good Spartans team and Alabama has averaged 38 points in their last four games overall. Bama's offense has produced over 400 yards in each of those four games. The Clemson Tigers gave up at least 27 points in 4 of their last 6 regular season games. Alabama continues to get better each game and I feel they are out to prove a point in the NCAA Championship Game on Monday night! Look for another one Monday night. ROLL TIDE! Thanks for all your College Football business this season as we are coming off our best College Football Season in our 22 years in business winning 67% of our picks and a remarkable 82% on our top 10*'s. The bowls were even better and overall I hope you collected plenty of cash. |

01-10-16 | Packers v. Redskins -1 | Top | 35-18 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
Redskins Cousins has been playing great lately and Washington has been very good at home. Green Bay has been playing some sorry football and the Packers head to Washington losers of back-to-back games. In those two losses the Packers scored a total of 21 points and their last road game the Packers defense gave up 38 points to the Arizona Cardinals. DT Chris Baker is at times almost impossible to stop on the Dline when he gets moving. Ryan Kerrigan is a great young LB as well, too much to handle. Going to be a long game for Mr. Rodgers. Green Bay gets themselves into bad field position at times with penalties, with David Bakhtiari having plenty of issues, and he look to be ready to go. Packers are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. Washington has won 4-straight games and three of those wins the Skins averaged 35.6ppg. Playing the better team with Washington at home here on Sunday evening. 5* |

I like this Bengals team a lot. I like them much better when Dalton is the quarterback, but even without him, Cincinnati will go with McCarron who has been solid and has weapons. AJ Green, Jeremy Hill, and Giovani Bernard help the Bengals stay dangerous on the offensive side of the ball, but not only has the offense been good in 2015, the defense is very good and they are at home while the Steelers play their 3rd straight road game.

The Oakland Raiders are a much improved team this year. Quarterback, Derek Carr and rookie wide receive Amari Cooper have the offense clicking in the passing game while Latavious Murray has gone over 1,000 yards on the ground and has six scores of his own. This offense is becoming very balanced and very feared around the league. If the Raiders have any hopes of getting this win on the road and finishing the season at 8-8, they are going to need to do a few things. First off, get the passing offense going. The only way to score points on this Chiefs defense is to keep them off balance. This is also Woodson's last game, this is a squad that symbolically getting to .500 would mean a lot for this franchise after years of dysfunction. And, seeing that this team is not going to the playoffs, this is their playoff game and even their Super Bowl. We like Oakland to step up here with a good game plan from HC Jack Del Rio on the road and give KC all they can handle. 10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK |

The Jets need a win to get into the playoffs and they have to get it against the Bills now led by coach Ryan. The Public is all over the Jets but the oddsmakers knew that and I like the Bills here at home. You know Bills HC Rex will be very motivated to keep the Jets out of the post-season and he is in a good spot here since as a head coach he is 11-6 ATS when playing a team off of a SU dog win. The Jets traditionally choke in these spots as well as they are just 1-7 ATS after winning SU as a dog. That was a very big emotional win for the Jets last weekover the Pats in OT and they were celebrating all week. Lets play the +3 with Buffalo to get this win at home Sunday afternoon. 5* |

01-02-16 | Kansas State v. Arkansas -12.5 | Top | 23-45 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL It was a solid season for Arkansas under 3rd year HC Bielema. He did break from his mold of power football by hiring former Central Michigan HC Dan Enos as his OC. With the talents of QB Allen, Arkansas balanced their offense with an attack that averaged 264/9.1 through the airways. Kansas St is not that good. They rallied at home behind their veteran HC to get a 6th WIN in their final game to become Bowl eligible. Arkansas has a ton of speed and have won 5 of their last 6 games, with a high powered offense. Different opponent, same results, matched up vs a team with zero defense. Kansas State has not put up 300YDs of passing offense all season. Kansas State QBs have really had a problem finding the spots they need to get the ball to. Wildcats are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 bowl games. Arkansas wins as we get yet another BLOWOUT here in the Bowl games. 10* |

01-02-16 | Penn State v. Georgia UNDER 43 | Top | 17-24 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
This is a tough one for Georgia. Not only is former HC Mark Richt out, but many of the assistants won't be back after this game, either. In fact, DC Jeremy Pruitt is already gone, taking the DC job at Alabama. And the UGA injury list reads like a Leo Tolstoy novel. Penn State, meanwhile, fired their OC and the offensive play-calling for the bowl game will be done by HC James Franklin and QB coach Ricky Rahne before newly hired OC Joe Moorhead takes over following the bowl game. Penn St is excited to be here while Georgia is disinterested. Coach Franklin remains committed to a balance approach on offense. Despite quarterback Christian Hackenberg hitting just 53% passing, the Nittany Lions will throw the football just as often as they will run the football. The Nittany Lions are most efficient on the ground running the football. Freshman tailback Saquon Barkley eclipsed the 1,000 yard barrier this season with the majority of that yardage coming during the 2nd half of the season. The emergence in the running game should be a positive for a Penn State offense that will look to keep Georgia’s offense on the sideline by moving the chains. I dont expect many touchdowns so the UNDER is the best play in this game. 5* |

01-01-16 | Iowa v. Stanford -6 | Top | 16-45 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show |
Stanford’s offense is led by Kevin Hogan, the senior quarterback who has shown immeasurable grit and passion this season. His willpower and motivation have been keys to the team’s success this season. He had 24 TD throws and 7 picks on the season, while completing nearly 70% of his throws. Christian McCaffrey is one of the top players in the nation, after setting the single-season record for all-purpose yardage. He is the team’s leading rusher and receiver, with 1847 yards on the ground and 540 in the air and will be the biggest weapon on the field on January 1. Right now, nobody is playing more confident football than this QB. He is doing anything it takes to put points on the board. He has to feel there's no secondary that can stop him, when he decides to get the job done, and I don't blame him. There is just nothing that C.J. Beathard can do consistently enough right now. Any kind of throw, whether for the big 1st down, or the deep 3rd downs. He has been too up and down, and in this very big game, for Iowa, being in their 1st Rose Bowl game in 25 years. The Stanford offense has more options that Iowa. Look for Stanford to really wear this Hawkeyes team down. Should the Cardinal get out to an early lead, they can really take the Hawkeyes focus out of this game. 5* |

With the long layoff I expect Florida to spend a lot of time working on their offense. Their defense is tough as nails and I like Florida in this underdog spot on Friday. The Gators defense could win this game by themselves and I see the Gators defense causing major problems for Michigan. If Michigan can't move the ball then I see turnovers being the factor on who wins this game and with the Gators defense I see them forcing some turnovers in the game. Treon Harris the Florida QB is a duel threat and his shiftiness will need to be accounted for by Michigan both on the planned keep and the scramble to throw. Kelvin Taylor has been a bit of a plodder while averaging just 4.0 yards per carry but he does have 13 rushing scores to lead Florida so look for him to get his chances if the Gators get the ball in close. Florida is 5-1 ATS when playing on two weeks or more to prep and I'll back them here as a dog. 5* |

01-01-16 | Tennessee -8 v. Northwestern | Top | 45-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 28 m | Show |
OUTBACK BOWL This Tenn team is very young and these extra practices and time will really help them. NW had a fairly easy schedule and their offense is terrible. Tennessee is still being considered the team on the rise in the SEC. Both of these teams play a very physical style of football. Northwestern is still seeing most of the action getting 68% of the publics money for some reason I do not see maybe because NW is ranked higher. Tennessee may be 8-4 on the season, but if you are not an SEC fan and do not follow the conference, little do you know how close this team was to winning the SEC East. Tennessee not only lost a handful of close SEC games, but they blew a two touchdown lead over Oklahoma only to lose in double overtime 31-24. Along with the Oklahoma loss, they also blew a 13 point lead to the Florida Gators with under five minutes left in regulation. The Tennessee Vols offense is built around dual threat QB, Josh Dobbs and running back, Jalen Hurd. Dobbs passed for over 2,100 yards and 15 scores in 2015 while Jalen Hurd rushed for over 1,100 yards and eleven touchdowns. The Tennessee defense has also played well ever since Butch Jones took over as head coach. This is a very tough team that is much better than their record indicates and I like them to WIN BIG on Friday afternoon. 10* College Bowl Game of the Year |

12-31-15 | Oklahoma v. Clemson +4 | Top | 17-37 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
College football’s opening semi-final playoff match will take place this afternoon inside Sun Life Stadium with the # 1 ranked Clemson Tigers square off with the # 4 Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl. The top ranked Tigers were the only team in college football that posted a perfect 13-0 record this year marking their only undefeated campaign since their 1981 National Championship run. Clemson is now just one victory away from competing for another National Championship. The Tigers have been a dynamic force on the offensive side of the football as well averaging 512 total yards per game and just a tad shy of 40 points per game. Both marks rank inside the top 15 teams in the country. Quarterback Deshaun Watson is a very good dual threat quarterbacks who finished with a 69% completion percentage that resulted in 3,512 yards with 30 touchdowns and 11 picks. Watson also added 887 rushing yards with another 11 touchdowns on the ground as well. I expect to see a lot of points and I'll take CLEMSON plus the 4 pts here on Thursday afternoon. 5* |

12-31-15 | Houston +7 v. Florida State | Top | 38-24 | Win | 100 | 3 h 33 m | Show |
Additionally, this matchup favor the Cougars in several ways I believe. Houston’s defense is really good against the run ranking 11th in the FBS yielding just 116 yards per game. If the Cougars can remain strong against the run, things could get really interesting if Florida State is forced into passing situations to move the football. FSU will have QB Sean Maguire behind center as QB Everett Golson didn't make the trip and I give Houston QB Ward Jr the edge Thursday afternoon. Florida St struggled on the road in their last 3 road games dropping 2 of them and I see the Cougars putting pressure on the FSU defense all game long. |

12-30-15 | Wisconsin +3.5 v. USC | Top | 23-21 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show |
I'm taking the points with Wisconsin on Wednesday night. The Badgers finished 9-3 SU, with three losses coming against Alabama, Iowa, and Northwestern. The Tide are in the running for a possible national title, the Hawkeyes missed a spot in the CFB playoffs by one game, and the Wildcats are a sturdy 10-2 and playing in a New Year's Day bowl game. The three teams own a combined record of 34-4 SU. The Badger defense is nasty, stingy, and fierce, and I expect the unit to cause problems for the USC offense. They have the best statistical overall defenses in the land. UW is a top-10 unit in almost any metric you want to name but they are most importantly 3rd in total yards allowed and lead the NCAA by surrendering just 13.1 points per game. On the flip side the USC defense has been a mess most of the season, ranked 96th against the pass, while also allowing over 400 total yards per game. They were scorched for 41 points or more on four occasions this season. USC allowed nearly 5 yards per carry over their last three games and saw their last six opponents complete 123 of 175, a whopping 70.3% of their passes, with 14 TDs and only 4 INTs. I like WISKY plus the points. 10* Diamond in the Rough |

Texas A&M is becoming a dumpster fire. Quarterbacks are leaving, players are not happy, the program is putting restrictions on the kids who want to transfer…it just isn’t pretty right now in College Station. Louisville, like Texas A&M, had much bigger dreams heading into 2015. They dropped their opener in the Georgia Dome to Auburn by a score of 31-24. At that time many people thought that was actually a good performance seeing as how Auburn was the preseason #6 team in the nation. Louisville played a very tough schedule. I think Louisville has more talent and should have no problem covering the 3.5 pts here tonight. 5* |

The Nevada Wolf Pack offense owns a top-30 running game and is one of two teams with two 1,000-yard rushers. Meanwhile, the Colorado St Rams have been horrible against the run, allowing an average of 208 yards rushing per game, which ranks 108th in the nation. Nevada is on a 6-1 SU run when they rush for at least 200 yards in a game. I see Nevada controlling stretches of the game with their run-game and playing the better defense and getting the outright win. Colorado State's offense has shot themselves in the foot repeatedly with a high turnover rate which is one of the worst in the nation, and Nevada has a hungry secondary, ready to take full advantage. 10* |

Minnesota slogged through an emotional roller coaster of a season that watched them lose head coach Jerry Kill to retirement due to epilepsy off the field, and now have a chance to play in this Bowl game. The Golden Gophers are one of those teams that reached the postseason with a losing 5-7 mark, and while they finished the year with five losses in their last six games, we still believe they are the better overall team. That 1-5 losing streak to end the year had everything to do with their tough schedule, falling against Nebraska, Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa, and Wisconsin - all teams that are playing in other bowl games. What we like about Minnesota is how they played in those losses, losing by three points vs. Michigan, by five points vs. Iowa, and even playing TCU tough in a six-point loss to start the season. Central Michigan played well against the lesser teams in the MAC Conference, but they are not at the level to hang with a quality Power 5 Conference team. Gophers pull away in the second half and win by double digits on Monday evening. 5* |

Peterman passed for over 2,100 yards in 2015 and had 19 touchdown passes and just five interceptions. As long as Pittsburgh doesn't turn the ball over or pick up some dumb penalties they should get the job done this afternoon. 5* |

The New York Giants WR Beckham has been suspended one game and is OUT today. The Giants will have no motivation tonight as they are OUT of the playoffs and I think they get blown out. The locker room is a mess for NY too. The Vikings are a very impressive on the defensive side of the ball and they get a rare Sunday Night TV appearance. The GMen defense is ranked dead last (32nd) in yards allowed per game at 423. While the Vikings' defense is ranked 13 in all of football. Mike Zimmer is a great defensive coach and deserves a lot of credit this season. The Giants have one of the worst pass defenses, and I expect the Vikings to take advantage here tonight between passing and rushing AP. Take the Vikes on Sunday night. 10* NFL GAME OF THE MONTH |

UCLA finished 8-4 with much higher hopes than playing in this Bowl game which is in their backyard. Most teams get excited to travel to a new area in a Bowl game. Nebraska is excited to be here since they finished with only 5 wins this season. They are a young team who gets an extra month of practices. Coach Riley is a good coach who has his team excited and their fans travel well. Nebraska has taken their share of knocks this season as they transition into the Riley era. But through all the struggles and strife, they managed to remain a dangerous opponent in a lot of tough spots, being competitive against the better teams they faced this season, while holding a win over a team that is now in the CFP. UCLA isn’t the best candidate to cover a big number against a decent defensive front like Nebraska, who ended the season with a little better momentum. I’ll take the points here tonight. 5* |

For all of Indiana's greatness on offense, it ranked among the very worst in College Football on defense. Their offense is nowhere near powerful enough to withstand a defense that gives up an average of 37.1 points and over 500 yards of total offense per game. They were ranked dead-last out of 128 times in passing-defense, with some quarterbacks literally exploding against this secondary. It was a bad sign when in their first game; they gave up 47 points against FCS opponent Southern Illinois in a one-point win. Duke lost to some of the better teams in the ACC, though falling to Virginia and narrowly beating Wake to end the season This will be the fourth straight season Duke has played in a bowl game. With time to prepare Duke is the better overall team and their defense will step up and get the win at Yankee stadium on Saturday afternoon. 10* BOWL GAME OF THE WEEK |

The Washington Huskies take on Southern Miss in the first ever meeting between the two schools. Chris Petersen, Head Coach of UW, has a reputation for putting together winning teams and he’s begun to do this in Seattle at the U of W. Petersen’s Huskies finished 6-6 this season but their record really doesn’t do them justice as they have poured it on towards the latter part of the regular season. In the Husky’s last two games of the regular season they scored a combined 97 points and only allowed a total of 17 points. With the extra practice time Washington should come out strong here Saturday afternoon. Southern Miss has a good record but they played a weak schedule and conference. Now they face the best defense in the Pac-12 and will be a serious step-up in level of competition for Southern Miss. Washington is on an 8-1 ATS run as a favorite of 4-10 points, outscoring those nine opponents by 22 ppg. Take the Washington Huskies here. 5* |

Not having Gunner Kiel will equal trouble in this game on Christmas Eve. He is their leader and just 6 days ago he took a personal leave so CIncy didn't have much time to prepare with their backup QB. San Diego State can run the heck out of the ball and they play tremendous defense. It’s not an altogether-complicated recipe for success, but a dependable one. And they have a little built-in advantage with being familiar with the stomping grounds they enter in this game, having played Hawaii on the road this season in this very venue, winning 28-14 on October 10.

SAN DIEGO COUNTY CREDIT UNION POINSETTIA BOWL Boise State measured against its own expectations may have been a letdown in some respects, but they still won 8 games and look to cap off the season with a nice bowl win. The Boise offense looks to have a good future in the hands of QB Brett Rypien. Though he came on in late-September after an injury to the original starter, he threw for almost 3000 yards on the season. The youngster leans heavily on running back Jeremy McNichols, who was one of the more-productive backs in the MWC this season with 18 touchdowns on 1244 yards running, along with 46 receptions. WR Thomas Sperbeck figures to be a handful in this game, as will be Chaz Anderson and Shane Williams-Rhodes. This is an offense that averages nearly 38 points per game. Boise is by far the better team in my eyes and should win handily by double digits. 5* |

Terry Bowden's team is cresting right now, as they come to Boise having won and covered 4 straight! The Zips also punched the ticket in 7 of their final 9 games against the spread this season.Akron defense has been tough and I think that their defense will keep them in this game The same cannot be said for Utah State, as injuries really stymied the Aggies season this year, and Matt Wells' team struggled down the stretch with losses in 3 of their final 4 games, and spread losses in all 4 of those games! True, Utah State is playing in their 5th straight bowl game (3 straight wins and covers), and playing in this very bowl game for the third time in those 5 years, but that could very well translate into a "been there, done that" attitude and usually teams returning to the same bowl game as the previous year have struggled and lack motivation.

Chip Kelly’s men have come back to life to win their last two games against the Patriots and the Bills. QB Sam Bradford’s good play has helped the Eagles overcome their continued inability to run the ball with much consistency. DeMarco Murray has a chance to make good on his claims as being needed in a larger role and should have the big game of which he's capable. THe Eagles are at home in chilly Philly and I'll grab the home underdog here tonight with the Green Birds. 5* |

The Miami Dolphins come to face the San Diego Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday. This game could carry a little extra emotion with it for the Chargers, with this possibly being their last home game in San Diego. For the second straight game, they scored 3 measly points on Sunday. On the flip side the SD defense has been stout, giving up just 20 combined points in their last two games against division studs Denver and KC. They even managed to pick off Alex Smith, who threw his first pick in 10 games. The Miami defense isn’t picking up the slack. Their 26th-ranked passing defense was exploited on Monday, as they were picked apart by Manning. I look for a little extra emotion from San Diego and Rivers here at home, as they get the win and cover on Sunday evening. 10* |

Brigham Young overcame a lot this season. Taysom Hill was lost for the season, forcing Tanner Mangum into the starting role, where he’s been a nice surprise. He has thrown 21 touchdowns and 7 picks with over 3000 yards, Mangum leads this offense and has been a real gamer, fighting with a lot of grit for his team. Mangum works with a nice cast of receivers who provide matchup concerns with almost every defense they face, led by excellent Mitch Mathews, Devon Blackmon, Nick Kurtz, Terenn Houk, and Mitchell Juergens. Houk is 6’5,” while Mathews and Kurtz are 6’6.” They are very tough because of their size and strength. The run game is now led by Algernon Brown,and they average 34.2 points per game. The BYU defense is pretty good too as they are a balanced group that gives up an average of just 21.8 points per game and forces turnovers. Bronson Kaufasi is a difference-maker with 11 sacks, as he applies a ton of pressure. Utah will have to fend off a potential letdown spot here in this game. This is far from what they were envisioning. And their offense just couldn’t hold up. They will be without Devontae Booker, who had 1261 yards on the ground through 10 games before going down for the season. And the pass-game is stripped dry with injuries to Kenneth Scott (questionable) and Britain Covey (doubtful). I like BYU to send off their coach a BIG WINNER as he's been great for the BYU program and school. PLAY BYU! |

The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS last 5-bowl games and head coach Rich Rodriguez 0-7 ATS in bowl in game when his team is not off a spread loss of 25 or more points, New Mexico has won 3 out of 4 games that included a big home wins over Air Force and Colorado St. Arizona is 1-6 ATS in the month of December The Lobos don't put the ball in the air that much, unless the team falls behind, and the teams triple option will be too difficult to handle.

Two teams with identical 5-7 records, but seemingly heading in opposite directions on the season will tussle in week 14 NFL action inside Sun Life Stadium, when the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins get together. The Dolphins should be able to move the ball in this game. The Giants are 31st in yards allowed (423 ypg) and dead-last 32nd in passing yards allowed per game (315 ypg). Its been awhile since the Dolphins have played in the NFL’s primetime featured game on Monday, and hopefully that will fire them up here. The Giants haven’t enjoyed the Monday Night spotlight either, going 1-5 ATS in their last six games in primetime. The public is all over the favorite with the Gmen, but I'll take the Dolphins here at home on MNF. 5* |

The Bears are also coming off a horrible loss last week as they lost to the 49ers at home 26-20 in overtime where Robbie Gould missed a pair of easy FG's. The Redskins offense has also been inconsistent and often struggles to move the ball with the 25th-ranked total offense at 333 yards per game. I see a pissed off Bears squad taking this home game in a big way. Washington has dropped 3-straight road games by double-digits and hasn't won a road game all season long.

His backup, Andre Ellington is also out. So much for a Cardinals rushing game this afternoon. The Cardinals have struggled playing in St Louis and if the Rams lose this game they have no outside chance at the playoffs so this is their season on the line. Nick Foles played alright last week completing 30 of 46 passes against a good Cincinnati defense. Foles had his best game of the year in the Rams' 24-22 victory at Arizona on Oct. 4, throwing for three TDs. Todd Gurley had 146 yards of rushing in that game. I also look for Tavon Austin to make some plays here today. 10* |

I look for Spartans QB Connor Cook will shine Saturday night. Iowa didn't have to face Ohio St or Michigan this year while Michigan St had to face both of them (won both) and beat Oregon earlier in the season. |

12-05-15 | North Carolina v. Clemson -4.5 | Top | 37-45 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
We are 11-3 on our College Football 10*'s this season and haven't dropped back-to-back 10*'s all year. Championship weekend will conclude this Saturday night with a heavily anticipated matchup between the#1 Clemson Tigers and the 8th ranked North Carolina Tar Heels in a battle for the ACC Championship. Clemson held off a tough challenge from rival South Carolina last week in a 37-32 but the game wasn't as close as the final score. Clemson was up big early but 3 turnovers allowed SC to get back in it. Clemson had over 500 total yards in the game. Victory to seal their first perfect season since their 1981 National Championship campaign. Clemson will have the chance to join the 4 team playoff and compete for another National Championship if they can take care of the Tar Heels this Saturday night in Charlotte. Clemson gave up 181 on the ground vs South Carolina and I expect their defense to bounce back big here on Saturday night. Every game after their defense allowed 24 or more points in their previous game this Clemson defense came back strong and only allowed an average of 14 points in their next game. From what I read their practices were intense this week and I look for Clemson to win by double digits here on Saturday night! |

12-05-15 | Temple +6 v. Houston | Top | 13-24 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 9 m | Show |
Three years ago, current Temple head coach Rhule took over a 4-win Temple team. In the 3 years at the helm, Rhule has built the program from 2 to 6 to 10 wins this year, including a 9-3 ATS pointspread run and 7-1 SU conference record. Temple is a very good team with a tough defense that shut-down explosive Memphis for a 31-12 victory, then last week concluded their conference slate with a 27-3 blowout of UConn, in which they outrushed the Huskies 161-9 and held UConn to 138 total yards. Houston is coming off a HUGE win over Navy last week and I look for Temple to keep it close here. The difference here will be the defense as Temple is tough and Houston struggles. They allowed 30 or more points, 4 times, to Louisville, Cincinnati, Memphis and Navy (with the latter 3 of those in the last month). I'm back Temple plus the points here in the early kickoff on Saturday at Noon EST. 5* |

12-03-15 | Packers v. Lions +3 | Top | 27-23 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
The Packers have only 1 win in their last five games. Jordy Nelson not being in there this year has hurt and Davante Adams has been a profound disappointment as his role has been increased. The Lions have looked good the past few weeks and I like them in this spot at home. Detroit is not doing a ton of damage with their ground game, but at least they’re trying now. It’s opened things up a bit. On Thanksgiving, Stafford threw for five touchdowns on 337 yards passing. Calvin Johnson looked like vintage Megatron, catching three touchdown passes. Theo Reddick and Golden Tate each snared a TD pass, as well. Joique Bell added nice production on the ground and through the air. Really making it come together for the Lions is the play of their defense. The front has been disrupting quarterbacks while stifling the opposing ground game. Everyone is saying revenge for the Packers but I like the Lions as a home dog here on THursday night. 5* |

11-30-15 | Ravens v. Browns -3.5 | Top | 33-27 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 57 m | Show |
This is a great spot for the Browns coming off their bye playing at home on Monday night football and I expect to get their best effort in this game. The Ravens will struggle without Joe Flacco and running back Justin Forsett for the season. With a 3-7 record and now without their starting quarterback and running back, the Ravens officially know that this is a lost season. I like the Browns here on MNF at home. 5* |

11-29-15 | Giants v. Redskins +3 | Top | 14-20 | Win | 100 | 3 h 14 m | Show |
10* NFL GAME OF THE WEEK: The Washington Redskins still have a punchers chance to win the NFC East. At 4-6, they are just a game out and a win over the Giants this weekend can make things really interesting within the division. It is almost like every Sunday is a playoff game for every team in the division. I expect the Redskins to put up some points here at home. The Giants defense is 25th in the NFL so I look for Washington to be able to move the ball and put up some points this afternoon and get the outright win. |

11-29-15 | Bills +5 v. Chiefs | Top | 22-30 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 13 m | Show |
The Chiefs have allowed a whopping 34 sacks in 10 games and I look for a big game from the Buffalo defense here on Sunday afternoon. Look for the Bills to use even more blitz packages than normal, as Alex Smith has struggled with a QBR of 23 when facing teams that blitz more than 50% of the snaps. Last season, the Bills outgained the Chiefs 364-278. Buffalo was up 13-3 in the fourth quarter before the Chiefs scored 14 unanswered points to steal a win. The Bills are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a SU loss. The Bills are 4-0 ATS in their last four games after playing on Monday Night Football. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last last seven meetings. Too many points here and I like Buffalo in a tight game +5. 5* |

11-28-15 | Virginia Tech -3 v. Virginia | Top | 23-20 | Push | 0 | 2 h 8 m | Show |
Tough overtime loss by VT last week at home against North Carolina as we had them with the cover, and retiring 29 year head coach Frank Beamer does need the win here to make it back to a bowl game and extend Beamer's career. I will look for that motivation to be enough to carry the Hokies to the road win against a Virginia team they always seem to beat. Tech has dumped UVa 11 straight times straight up, and they are 8-3 against the spread in those 11 series meetings. That includes a 4-1 spread mark at Scott Stadium the last 5 series meetings. Virginia probably even wants to see Frank Beamer make it to one last bowl game before his retirement and their tough defense should be enough to cover the 3 pt spread here this afternoon.! Play the Hokies to make it a 12 straight series wins, and a 9-3 cover mark in those 12 wins. 5* |
