Going OVER the total. Line has moved a few points as I see 52.5 and even 53.5 out there. If you aren't comfortable with the big move, I would say Ravens Team Total Over.  Now. If you watch or listen to Look Ahead Lines you would have been down on this one at the early number. Even said it on Mid Day Money. We saw a wild 41-38 game a couple weeks ago. Cincy defense is still not a solid unit. Ravens will put up 30+ here at home. Baltimore 8-1 to the over this season, Cincy 6-3. Lamar is possibly on his way to another MVP. Henry hasn't lost a step. They should have at least 5 TDs between them with their feet and Lamar's arm.  Again. This is now around 53 - I have this game at 34/37 points for Baltimore - 20/23 points for the Bengals. 4* Total Money OVER Bengals/ Ravens

4* Total Money OVER Charleston/ Southern Illinois

Going UNDER the total. Both teams off last second games. A 3rd straight win for Arizona, a gut wrenching loss for the Bears. Don't love rookie QBs on the road. Especially when I think their HC is absolute trash. But the defense is the real deal. We saw a 20-13 game vs the Lions here. We also saw a 41-10 game here by Arizona. Arizona does have a little defense. Bears have a lot of it. 4* Total Money UNDER Bears/ Arizona

Going UNDER the total here. Even if Carr is the QB, are the Saints scoring 40? I don't think so. 8-10-27-13-24-12. That is what the offense has delivered. That opening 47-10 over these same Panthers and 44-19 over Dallas are distant memories. And Carolina. Their best game was after they benched Bryce and went with Andy in Vegas. 44? I might look to go under 34! 4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Panthers

Going OVER the total. Baylor seems to have found some offense and is still looking for their defense. 66-94-64-64--62-67. Crooked numbers all over the place. TCU is looking for win 6 and a bowl birth. 4-4 Baylor looking for wins to save their coach. Horned Frogs have been turnover prone (-11 on the year). Bears lost to Utah, BYU and Iowa State some of the better defenses in the Big 12. TCU gives it up. 27 at Stanford, 35 to UCF, 66 at SMU, 27 to Kansas State, 30 to Houston and 34 to Texas Tech. Shoot Out!  4* Total Money OVER TCU/ Baylor

Going UNDER the total. Washington 6-2 to the Under on the year. USC scores better at home. Washington defense has been pretty solid here at home. 17-5-24-9-3. Trojans probably wishing they still played in the PAC 12 as they sit at 4-4 hoping for 2 wins in their next 4 games. I think this is an ugly 24-20 type of game. 4* Total Money UNDER USC/ Washington 

Going OVER the total. Not that Oregon has to run it up for extra beauty points, but, going to Ann Arbor and dropping 34+ on the defending champs is still a good look. Michigan will always get the 'A' game from whomever they play. When you are ranked #1 you will always get the best punch from the other team also. And that is exactly what Oregon is ~ #1. Ducks get to that 35-40 range this afternoon, Michigan, in full desperation mode, should get 17-20 and we get this Over. 4* Total Money OVER Oregon/ Michigan

Going OVER the total here. Tulsa off a 46-45 wild one. They aren't much on offense prior. But on defense - 45-49-52-45 in 4 allowed in 4 of their last 6 games. UAB are just a dumpster fire. We knew Trent Dilfer would be bad. Getting outscored 43-18 on the year. Look at the points allowed - 35-44-71-41-37-32. A pair of bad teams, bad defenses. Tulsa gets to 40 and UAB should get over 20 points. 4* Total Money OVER Tulsa/ UAB

Going OVER the total. Black Knights have been and Over and Covering machine. Air Force won't slow these guys down. I know historically we do service academy unders. That is not the case this year. Navy beat the Falcons 34-7. 45-44-49-42-37-42. 24-7 at FAU the low points for Army. New Mexico rushed for 255 yards vs Air Force. Army might have that in the first half. 4* Total Money OVER Air Force/ Army

Going OVER the total. FAU rolled these guys last 56-14. So, USF should want revenge. Bulls put up 35 2 weeks ago against UAB. Before that 3-10-15, that is 28 in 3 games against Memphis, Tulane and Miami U. Pretty decent teams. Then there was 49 vs 1-7 Southern Miss. Again, like UAB bad team and they performed. USF has played the much tougher schedule and puts up points when vs lesser teams. FAU is just that. 38-24 L 41-37 L 41-10 W (Wagner) 48-14 L 38-20 W. There will be points. 4* Total Money OVER South Florida/ FAU

4* Total Money UNDER Knicks/ Pistons

4* Cold Cash UNDER Rangers/ Capitals 

Going UNDER the total in this one. When I see a team, in this case, New Mexico State, who has given up 30,54, 50,31,48,and 30 in their last 6 games - I start to think why is this total so low? Then the total comes down even lower to the 44 point range. If we take out FIU's last game that was 10-7 and a game that was 17-10 back at the end of September, we see final score totals of 51 (L 30-20) 55 (L 31-24) 87! (L 45-42) 58 (L 38-20) 68 (W 52-16) and an opening day loss at Indiana 31-6. And yet - we now have 44s. What the heck am I missing? Maybe this is me not grabbing the proverbial low hanging fruit and going over the total. Will this just be the Aggies running the ball and burning clock? Will they be utterly flat off winning as a 12pt dog last week? I am normally of the mindset of 2 bad teams, poor play, more points. The numbers say over. Yet we see from an opener of 47.5 to now, some 43.5s. One team isn't getting to 16 tonight. 4* Total Money UNDER New Mexico State/ FIU 

4* Total Money OVER Blazers/ Kings

4*  Total Money OVER Ravens) Browns

4* Total Money  Tulane/ North Texas

 Going UNDER the total. I am not worried about rusty pitchers. The bullpens have been really good even though the Dodgers appears weaker. Their key guys have all done the job. Yanks had some easier bats to face, but were very good. I think the offense starts slow and this one doesn't sniff 7 forget getting to 9 for us to lose.  4* Total Money UNDER Yankees/ Dodgers 

Going OVER the total tonight. With both teams off bye weeks, I am expecting some extra wrinkles in the offense to get some more scoring. Syracuse doesn't have Cal's defense. So we will see Pitt gets close to 40 tonight. 34-73-38-28-55 on the scoreboard so far this year. SU has put 44-42-38-31 in their more high scoring as well (24-24 the other 2). Pitt lost last year so there is a little revenge angle to boost their point production. I think Pitt covers the spread, but my bets play in this game is clearly the OVER. 38-30 or in that range seems about right. 4* Total Money OVER Syracuse/ Pitt

Going OVER the total. Have we watched any of these games. These bullpens are shot. 9-10-8-12-18 runs in these first 5 games. Will be 6-4 by the 7th inning. 4* Total Money OVER Mets/ Dodgers

Going UNDER the total here. I want to pull the trigger on the lowly Browns as well. Should be getting some OL help here on Sunday. Also, a Chubb sighting at RB. That will help Watson who has been brutal this year. But you can't throw when you are on your back. With Chubb back, I expect the run game to be center stage here. Cleveland has not scored more than 18 points in a game this year. And that 18 got them a win, 18-13 at Jacksonville. But my oh my - 16-13-16-15-17 points scored. I am sure you hear WR Amari Cooper was sent packing. If I lose this with Browns scoring 20 or more, it is because the Yanks have moved on to the World Series and the City of Cleveland needs hope. 4* Total Money UNDER Bengals/ Browns 

Going UNDER the total. Will keep this one nice and simple. Last time I saw CJ Stroud and the Texans on the road vs a good team, they were getting hammered 34-7 by another NFC team, the Minnesota Vikings. I like the GB defense. I think it is a good unit. The game in Brazil was odd - Minnesota is, I think, the real deal. Texans on the road, not scary. They had gone under in 4 of their first 5 before that scoring outburst in New England. Not expecting that here. 4* Total Money UNDER Texans/Packers

Going OVER the total here. I think we see a high scoring game here in Atlanta. Cousins seems to finding his footing in his new offense. Seattle defense is rested off their Lions defeat. 3 Straight losses for Seattle, 3 straight wins for the Falcons. Helps when you are putting up over 33ppg as Atlanta has done in those wins. But this is a tough spot with a trip to Tampa on deck. Seattle possible in a 'must win' type game with the way they have played. Atlanta defense is average at best - 20-30-24-22-21 points allowed - 18 to Pitt, who settled for 6 FGs. Another team may have had a TD or 2. In this spot, I expect 24-30 from Seattle. We should be staring at a game in the mid 50s. 4* Total Money OVER Seattle/ Falcons 

Going UNDER the total. Another England game for the Jags. If they give up 35 like last week, I think we have a coach firing on Monday in Jacksonville. So off that poor game, and a rookie QB making just his 2nd start, we go Under. Now - this didn't help last week as Caleb and the Bears had their way with the Jags defense. But the Patriots offense is not that talented. A bounce back spot for the Jags, sure. A game with a team scoring 30+, no. 4* Total Money UNDER Patriots/ Jaguars

Going OVER the total. I think that Iowa has finally found their offense. Took, what, years! Let's toss out Ohio State crushing Iowa. They put up 40 vs Washington, 31 at Minnesota, 38 vs Troy, and 40 vs Illinois State. Hey, its 40. Sparty is well rested. That is good since the offense has been terrible. 10 and 7 points their last 2 vs Oregon and Ohio State. But is is Oregon and Ohio State. If we can get 13-17 out of these guys, I think we sail over this number. 4* Total Money OVER Iowa/ Michigan State

Going OVER the total. Are we really trusting the LSU defense on the road? They open giving up 27 in Vegas to USC. In a shoot-out at South Carolina 36-33. 460 yards to Ole Miss. Razorbacks off their bye week, should be pumped up with a little revenge angle. 34-31 losers last year. 4* Total Money OVER LSU/ Arkansas

Going OVER the total here. So Wyoming is 5-1 to the Over this year. But look at some of these numbers.. 43-33-40-30 (this was their Under!) - They opened the season scoring 7-13-14-17 points in their first 4 games. 31, then 24 their last 2 games. I guess it is a push in the right direction. But we are staring at Over 51 here. San Jose has gone over in their last 3 with 55-66-106 points in those games.  4* Total Money OVER Wyoming/ San Jose State

Going OVER the total. We have seen runs scored so far across the first two games. Both of these teams can hit. If we are going to getting a plethora of walks (15 game 2, 11 in game 1), these totals don't stand a chance. I was already down on Buehler and the Dodgers bullpen. 4* Total Money OVER Dodgers/ Mets

this was suppose to be OVER.. 

4* Total Money UNDER Steelers/ Raiders

4* Total Money UNDER Texans/ Patriots

Going UNDER the total. Mississippi State are dreadful. I think Georgia is in a proverbial - name the score spot - They do have Texas on a deck. A much bigger team. and with a loss vs Alabama already, they need to win here and next week. I think we see a stale game plan but a win. These Bulldogs will bully the other Bulldogs. Won't be shocked to see something like 37-7. 4* Total Money UNDER Mississippi State/ Georgia

Going OVER the total here. I look at EMU the last couple weeks and think, OK, we are getting this to 50 or more. 52-36-37-(9)-28. That 9 was vs Washington, a real school. THE Miami Ohio Bobcats are a team that will give up some points. I think EMU gets 30+. If Kent State is scoring 33 and Jacksonville State is scoring 34, the Bobcats can get us 20. 4* Total Money OVER Miami Ohio/ Eastern Michigan 

Going OVER the total. Kent St with an offensive explosion last week scoring 32, while giving up 52! They gave up 56 Penn State and 71 to Tennessee. 55 to Pitt. Heck to St Francis PA! How about this Ball State defense. 45-63-36-62-34. I don't care how bad the offense are. The defenses are just horrible. 4* Total Money OVER Ball State/ Kent State

Going OVER the total here. I look at this, and think, how? UTEP is horrible. 21-17-10-24-7 points scored this year. And teams aren't dropping 40 on them. Nebraska did, 40-7, Under! So this is a bit of a head scratch for me. The book don't make it a habit of giving away FrEe MoNeY. We will pencil the Hilltoppers in for 44-20 win. 4* Total Money OVER UTEP/WKU

Going UNDER the total. I think the KC is more a defense first than offense, even with the great Mahomes at QB. Pacheco Out. Rice Out. Kelce Old. Solid Saints defense. For the Saints. Their OL vs a tough DL. Kimara banged up. David Carr at QB who they have plenty of film on. I this one is 23-20. 4* Total Money UNDER Saints/ Chiefs

4* Total Money UNDER Cowboys/ Steelers 

Going UNDER the total. Rams defense is bad yes. But I can't see GB putting up 34-40 here. I think this one is 30-10 or something along those lines. 4* Total Money UNDER Packers/ Rams

Going UNDER the total. How about the Hoosiers hitting last years win total before October! Great work. Northwestern has been terrible on offense. Their new digs look like an under heaven. Wildcats off a bye week. Should be the best defense Indiana has faced. I don't think Northwestern gets scores about 13 today. I know Indiana has been explosive. But I am thinking 27-13 here. 4* Total Money UNDER Indiana/ Northwestern 

Going OVER the total. Ball State gave up 62 to the Miami Hurricanes. Ok. You think it's The U. Cam Ward. I get it. how about 63 to James Madison. 42 to Missouri State? Their only close game was 37-34 at Central Michigan. Western is just in a different direction. They were blitzed by Ohio State 56-0. They allowed 31 to Bethune Cookman in a 59-31 win. So if we are giving up 42 to Missouri State, and 31 to Bethune Cookman, we think it is safe to say defense is not good here for either team. Both teams getting into the 30s this afternoon. 4* Total Money OVER Western Michigan/ Ball State

Going UNDER the total here. Tampa defense looking pretty good so far this season. Just a weird, bad loss to Denver. But a nice win at Detroit. Took care of Philly again. If you are holding those teams to 16 points, I think you do the same here even on short week. Had the Falcons last week. Win loss Push. Not a good outcome. They had no right winning that one. Muff punt TD. Pick 6. 58 yard FG. Come on. These guys scored 10 vs the Steelers. Pulled out a miracle win out in Philly, a TD with 30 seconds left (22 points). I think they got hosed vs KC. But still - 17 points. Offense is still a work in progress. 4* Total Money UNDER Bucs/ Falcons 

Going UNDER the total. We cashed with the Padres RL yesterday, today, the UNDER. Musgrove has been great since coming off the IL in August. Just 12 runs in 49 innings. 6 of those runs came in 1 game vs the Giants. In his next start vs that same team, 6 innings of 3 hit ball with 9 Ks and Zero runs. Guy is dealing. Enter Braves. Forget the fact we have been hammering Unders on them all year (96-60 to the under). Max Fried is more than capable arm. Good for the Braves holding back off that crazy travel spot. This is the game that is the must win to extend the series. Although not as dominate as Musgrove, he has been strong in September with a .98 WHIP. Tough to score when you aren't getting a guy on base every inning. His last start to close out the regular season 8.2 innings 3 hits 9 Ks. Should be another low scoring affair tonight. 4* Total Money UNDER Braves/ Padres 

4* Total Money OVER Seattle/ Lions

Going UNDER the total. Has anyone seen the Browns offense this season? Of course not. We are still lookin for it. 17-18-15 points. And the Raiders. Banged up all over the place. This game will be ugly. 4* Total Money UNDER Browns/ Vegas

Going UNDER the total. Chiefs offense to me, not clicking. Rice and Worthy looked awesome in Week 1. But I have not been impressed lately. Add in no Pacheco. KC has been a defensive team the last couple years anyway. Chargers a run first team and it doesn't matter who the QB is. SNF long flight cross country for KC. LAC home off battle in Pitt and 2 roadies. Screams under to me. 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Chargers

Going UNDER the total. Let's keep this simple. Steelers can play defense. Both quarterbacks leave a little to be desired. First team to 20 wins the game. 4* Total Money UNDER Steelers/ Colts

Going UNDER the total. We get two tough defenses, and two teams that like to run it a bit. 4* Total Money UNDER Vikings/ Packers

4* Total Money UNDER Arizona/ Utah

4* Total Money UNDER Georgia/ Alabama 

4* Total Money OVER Colgate/ Penn

4* Total Money UNDER Western Kentucky/ Boston College

Going UNDER the total here. Ah Piscataway baby! As a Jersey guy, you know I will always be rooting for Rutgers to be good in Hoops and Football. Wish they could pull something off and just keep all the top NJ recruits in-state. Anyway. The total. UNDER for me. Tough travel spot for Washington cross country. We have Rutgers who is a run first, ground and pound team. Both teams have respectable defenses. This game has 23-20 written all over it. 4* Total Money UNDER Washington/ Rutgers

4* Total Money OVER Orioles/ Yankees

4* Total Money UNDER Seattle/ Houston 

Going UNDER the total. Falcons appear to be still looking for their offense. The defense for me is a strong point for KC. I think they shut down Atlanta - who, is on a short week and needed everything in the tank to pull out a late win at Phily. For as great as the KC hype is, they could be 0-2! The Toe vs the Ravens. A PI call to get past Cincy. No Pacheco. Mahomes has as many TDs as INTs (3/3). 4* Total Money UNDER Chiefs/ Falcons

4* Total Money OVER Rockies/ Braves

4* Total Money UNDER Toledo/ Western Kentucky

4* Total Money OVER Duke/  Mid Ten State

4* Total Money OVER Arizona State/ Texas Tech

Going OVER the total here. Madison in off a bye week. Should have some trickery up their sleeves to steal a few points. Yeah. I get it. 13-6 vs Gardner Webb last time Madison took the field. Does not concern me. North Carolina beat Charlotte 38-20 - James Madison took care of them 30-7. We will see points NC dropped 45 last game on a cupcake. I think this one both of these guys get to 24 and that doesn't even count OT! 4* Total Money OVER James Madison/ North Carolina 

Going UNDER the total here? Am I missing something here? Houston scored on a punt return of 75 yards. And had TD runs of 37 and 65 yards. And a 44 yard TD Pass. That is 146 yards. 3 plays. Huge chunk of your 380 yards offense. Not buying it. That is a fluke 33 points. 16-12 at Oklahoma. 27-7 home loser to UNLV. Zero offense that game. I know that Cincy can really stink it up on defense. But as I look now, this line is now 46.5. 4* Total Money UNDER Houston / Cincinnati 

4* Total Money UNDER Cleveland/ Cardinals 

4* Total Money UNDER Giants/ Orioles

4* Total Money OVER UAB/ Arkansas

4* Total Money UNDER Notre Dame/ Purdue

Going OVER the total here. We can say with 100% FACT that the WILDCATS will win. Now, the home or away team, doesn't matter to me. I think we see plenty of points. Don't be worried about Arizona's 22-10 win last week. A game they were down 10-6 at the half. They were just playing to get to this spot. We have 2 talented offenses and questionable defenses. And when I see teams "Ranked" in the teens like this, I can't but think of the 38-34 game that is on tap tonight. K State run game will wear the defense down. And K State defense will have trouble getting off the field on 3rd downs. I was shocked this total didn't open at 60. I'm looking forward to 14-14 after the 1st quarter. How about an OT bet? 4* Total Money OVER Arizona/ Kansas State

Going OVER the total here. OD nearly scored the upset last week vs South Carolina. A couple bad turnovers cost them that one. They did put up 19 on the road vs an SEC team. Good to see. ECU is not a SEC defense. They are barely a AAC defense. They put up some points last week. Great. Can they get half that this week vs OD who might be a little banged up from their last game. Will OD be looking ahead to Virginia Tech? I think we see this game soar over the 50 point mark and probably hit 60. Sun Belt Fun Belt for the Monarchs of Old Dominion. 4* Total Money OVER ECU/OD
