09-29-22 | Dolphins v. Bengals -3.5 | 15-27 | Win | 100 | 20 h 7 m | Show | |
Dolphins/Bengals 8:15: Dolphins on an incredible roll and jumping on the Bengals at -3' is unsettling considering Miami's backdoor capability. However, injuries starting to compile for the Dolphins, especially to key players that shift the value to Cincinnati. Miami impact players: receiver Waddle (groin) and QB Tua (back/angle) still in recovery mode as of today. Defensively, key Miami secondary players - Xavien Howard (groin) and S Brandon Jones (chest) also in recovery mode on short week. Burrow and his explosive receiving arsenal are healthy. Bengals starting to get it rolling off convincing win Sunday. Zac Taylor 7-1 ATS vs non division opponent off back-to-back SU wins. On Thursday, Bengals 4-0 ATS vs an opponent off SU/ATS win. With the home team 5-0 ATS in this series, the 3 and a hook is justified. Bengals the call. |

09-26-22 | Cowboys v. Giants -1 | 23-16 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 7 m | Show | |
Cowboys/Giants 8:15: Giants growing in confidence and learning to close out games. Daniel Jones overdue to notch a Prime-Time win after 0-8 SU in that role for his career. Run game with Barkley (236 rush yards) should fuel play action for Jones. Giants' offensive line will need to keep Parsons at bay. He clearly is a game wrecker. He won't be a problem on Evan Neal's side but the other tackle will need help and Barkley will need to improve on his blitz pickup. On the other hand, Thibodeaux (knee) should be good to go along with OLB Ojulari (hamstring). They should help fuel the pass rush that's desperately needed in NY. And they don't need Cooper Rush getting comfortable in the pocket again. He'll be without his starting left guard McGovern and TE Schultz (knee). Dallas is 31st in the NFL in point production at 11.5 PPG. Gallup (ACL) is back to give Dallas that vertical threat but remember, he just had surgery in January. A bit premature to get him going consistently so he'll be on a rep count. Giants have lost 10 of 11 in this series and overdue to get a win. All signs point on a SU win for the G-Men tonight. Cowboys 2-12 ATS vs opponent off back-to-back SUATS wins. Giants the call. |
|||||||
09-25-22 | 49ers -1.5 v. Broncos | Top | 10-11 | Loss | -108 | 19 h 40 m | Show |
49ers/Broncos 8:20: In two games under Hackett, the Broncos have not looked like the power house they were projected to be in the AFC West. Mismanagement of the clock, poor decision making, and not getting plays in quick enough have culminated in an 0-2 ATS mark for the Broncos. Now Hackett has brought in a consultant (Rosburg) to advise him on play calling. With that kind of uncertainty at this stage of the game, we'll go with the defensively stout 49ers who lead the league in defending the pass, #2 vs the run, and #1 in total yards allowed. Bosa is a major disrupter when he's healthy and he'll be on the field. On the other hand, SF's Garoppolo, now 35-16 SU as a starter including playoffs, will have another weapon at his disposal as TE George Kittle is ready to go. And Deebo Samuel is happy Jimmy G is back. He can be utilized more in the offense like last season. We'll grab San Francisco here. |
|||||||
09-25-22 | Saints v. Panthers +2.5 | 14-22 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
New Orleans/Carolina 1:00: Panthers snakebit in both games this season on last second 50+ yard field goals. Panthers overdue to get untracked here. Defensively, they're looking for their first takeaway and it should come today; after all, Winston has been sacked 10 times and threw 3 interceptions. He's dealing with back and ankle problems. Panthers won this one 26-7 last September in Charlotte. McCaffrey is supposedly healthy which gives Mayfield another viable weapon. Panthers are 4-0 ATS in Week 3 and the dog in this series is 12-4 ATS. Panthers the call. |
|||||||
09-25-22 | Raiders v. Titans +2.5 | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Raiders/Titans 1:00: Both teams really struggling and desperate for a win. Titans choked up a lead vs the Giants and got demolished on Monday night by Buffalo. Today, we'll look for them to respond favorably. Tennessee is 4-0 ATS after allowing 30+ in previous game. And they're 8-0 ATS under Vrabel off back-to-back SU losses vs losing teams. Moreover, they're 4-0 ATS before playing the Colts. On the other hand, Josh McDaniels 0-4 ATS in his coaching career vs an opponent off back-to-back SU losses. Raiders off an epic collapse last week. Carr is repeatedly under duress, and he can't find his #1 receiver Adams. And Hunter Renfrow's absence (concussion) won't help matters as focal point of the Titans' defense will be on Adams. We'll look for the Titans to finally get their run game going with Henry. Play action should start to open up to #1 draft choice Burks. Tennessee the call. |
|||||||
09-25-22 | Ravens v. Patriots +2.5 | 37-26 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Ravens/Patriots 1:00: Patriots should do well in this role. They're 17-3 ATS at home vs an opponent off a SU loss. New England finally got Agholor and Meyers involved in the offensive game plan last week. It seemed to open up the run game a bit. Mac Jones should settle in today; after all, the Ravens' secondary allowed a staggering 469 yards and 6 TD passes last week. Belichick should find areas of the Ravens' defense to exploit. At the same time, he'll have the defensive game plan directed on stopping Lamar Jackson. Patriots' defense respectable (4th in total yards allowed) and they're getting to the QB. Baltimore just 1-6-1 ATS in Week 3. We'll take the points with the Patriots at Foxborough. |
|||||||
09-24-22 | Wisconsin v. Ohio State -19 | 21-52 | Win | 100 | 20 h 45 m | Show | |
Wisconsin/Ohio State 7:30: OSU warmed up their offense and scored TDs on 7 consecutive possessions last week vs Toledo. Wisconsin has a much better defense but still not a match for the offensive machine of the Buckeyes. CJ Stroud and company (#1 offense in nation) should get it rolling in Columbus. Wisconsin is coming off a blowout win over New Mexico State but should find points to be at a premium vs the Buckeyes. Ryan Day brought in Jim Knowles from Oklahoma State, where he did wonders for the Cowboys. Knowles is now shaping the Buckeyes' veteran defensive unit into a top-notch unit. OSU 4-0 ATS at home vs Wisconsin and we'll lay the wood. |
|||||||
09-24-22 | Tulsa v. Ole Miss -21 | 27-35 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 36 m | Show | |
Tulsa/Ole Miss 4:00: On the surface, looks like a good play on Tulsa; after all, they have the #1 pass game in the nation and have been a covering machine for HC Montgomery over the last few seasons. A closer look, however, reveals fundamental flaws to their game that will be exploited by Lane Kiffin. The Golden Hurricane doesn't have a run game to protect QB Brin. They're 114th in the nation running the football. Ole Miss is winning games on defense - allowing a combined 13 points. And the Rebels can bring the pressure averaging 4.3 sacks per game. Moreover, Kiffin struck gold in the off-season in the transfer portal with QB Jaxson Dart (USC), RBs Zach Evans (TCU) and Ulysses Bentley IV (SMU) along with a crapload of talented receivers. The Rebels are grinding out a ridiculous 272 YPG on the ground. Tulsa defense doesn't have the depth to sustain or contain that ground game for 4 quarters. Ole Miss rolls. |
|||||||
09-24-22 | Oregon v. Washington State +6.5 | 44-41 | Win | 100 | 1 h 20 m | Show | |
09-24-22 | Minnesota -3 v. Michigan State | Top | 34-7 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show |
Minnesota/Michigan State 3:30: Gradual erosion taking place at Michigan State. Last season, defensively they yielded 46 YPG more than in 2020. And their secondary ranked 85th but managed an 11-win season and bowl win. They did make big plays, but the wagon is no longer hitched to Heisman finalist Kenneth Walker III. Last week, Washington exploited the Spartans' weaknesses as QB Penix lit up the secondary for 397 yards and 4 TDs. On the offensive side, the Spartans' offensive line couldn't get their top running back going (27 yards on 13 carries). QB Payton Thorne isn't a guy that can carry the team without a strong run game. Minnesota comes in to East Lansing off 3 blowout wins and hungry. Their offense is equipped with a mammoth front line that's opening truck sized holes for their horse Mohamed Ibrahim (464 yards rushing). And veteran signal caller Tanner Morgan is helped with the return of OC Ciarocca this season. Gophers lighting up the scoreboard (47.2 PPG). Minnesota has had success at East Lansing (4-0 ATS). With the road team in this series at 4-1 ATS, we'll roll with the Gophers. |
|||||||
09-24-22 | Maryland v. Michigan -17 | 27-34 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 9 m | Show | |
Maryland/Michigan Noon: Michigan's first challenge after thrashing three consecutive lightweights. Wolves should be up to the challenge. They're 5-0 ATS as conference favorites off non-conference game. Maryland surely has the athletes under Locksley but can't create a consistent winner. And they usually crap the bed when stepping up in competition. Terps are a money burning 2-15 ATS vs greater than .500 conference opponent the last four years. Michigan is 6-0 ATS in this series including the 59-18 whitewashing last November. Sure, Tagoviola has a hot hand and lots of skill talent to go to, but Michigan's defense has been overwhelmingly strong this season. And defensively, Terps have secondary issues which will be a problem as Michigan getting the pass game going with McCarthy and McNamara. Michigan the call. |
|||||||
09-23-22 | Nevada v. Air Force -24 | 20-48 | Win | 100 | 20 h 0 m | Show | |
09-22-22 | Steelers +5 v. Browns | 17-29 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 21 m | Show | |
Steelers/Browns 8:15: Both teams coming off losses. Browns had an epic collapse late in the final quarter vs the Jets; meanwhile, Steelers couldn't get anything going offensively under OC Matt Canada in their second straight loss. Steelers are staying in the games but just can't get enough offensive production out of Trubisky. He can't get the ball downfield as the Steelers rank in the bottom tier of the NFL in yards per pass. He does have weapons in Claypool, rooking Pickens and TE Freirmuth. And Najee Harris ran roughshod over Cleveland last year in 2 games (279 yards). Browns have some injury concerns with DE Winovich and DE Clowney out. Garrett (neck) should be good to go and that is a concern and a focal point Steelers have to address. And if Trubisky can't get it done, Tomlin could go with Pickett to generate some offense downfield. Defensively, Steelers have to stop RB Chubb. Not having T.J. Watt (pec) is a big loss but Heyward and Highsmith will have to step it up. Steelers Tomlin 5-0 ATS as a less than .500 team off a SU loss vs an opponent off a SU loss. Steelers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings while the dog in this series is 4-0 ATS. Pittsburgh the call. |
|||||||
09-19-22 | Vikings +2.5 v. Eagles | 7-24 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 17 m | Show | |
Vikings/Eagles 8:30: Cousins and company showed up vs Green Bay in Week 1, we'll look for a solid follow up here; after all, Kirk Cousins is 6-3 SU vs Philadelphia as a member of Washington and Minnesota. And Cousins got over the prime time hump. He was 0-9 on MNF before winning his last 3 MNF games. He has a healthy display of weapons. HC O'Connell lined up Justin Jefferson in various areas of the field vs Green Bay and it worked like a charm. He's a matchup nightmare in the slot (on linebackers) and on top of the numbers. Theilen is overdue for a big game and even former #1 Eagles draft choice Jalen Reagor (drafted ahead of Jefferson) is now with Minnesota to create havoc. Eagles not having Derek Barnett (ACL) will limit the pass rush for Philly. And Eagles did not look good stopping the run last week vs Detroit (allowed 181 yards). Getting Dalvin Cook rolling will surely open up the Vikings' play action pass. Philadelphia, on the other hand, is loaded with offensive weaponry themselves but I like the improved defense under Donatell. Hurts just 6-8-1 SU at home and 0-2 on MNF. We'll take Minnesota. |
|||||||
09-19-22 | Titans +10 v. Bills | 7-41 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 1 m | Show | |
Titans/Bills 7:15: I realize the Bills are in a major revenge mode here after Titans have beaten them two straight years - both in Nashville. And surely the Bills looked every bit the pre-season favorite to win the AFC after last Thursday's demolition of the incumbent Super Bowl Champion - Rams. Nevertheless, Titans the call here. Titans, under Vrabel, have a history of dropping games to middle of the road teams yet can up for and defeat the NFL elite. Such be the case tonight. They'll need to shore up a run-stop-unit that allowed Barkley to run roughshod on them. And rookie receivers #1 Burks and #5 Kyle Phillips will need to step up for Tannehill. And King Henry will need to step up his game several notches from last week. Good news is that Bills' DT Oliver (ankle) is out to lessen the deep bench of Buffalo. Not only that, Josh Allen's emerging WR Gabe Allen (ankle) won't be at full strength. Tennessee defense has to up its game several notches. Vrabel 9-1 ATS off non-division vs opponent off double digit SU win. Take the Titans. |
|||||||
09-18-22 | Seahawks +9.5 v. 49ers | 7-27 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 18 m | Show | |
Seahawks/49ers 4:05: I projected SF would be laying 7' points in this one. Close to double digits is a bit too much. I'm staying on the Seahawks after their big MNF football win. Seahawks play their division rival tough as exhibited by their 15-5-1 ATS mark in this series; moreover, they're 7-3 ATS at San Francisco. Sure, Geno Smith's name will surface again. Holding up against the fierce SF pass rush led by Nick Bosa is a concern. However, Seattle looking to run the rock as RB Kenneth Walker III is ready to go to add to a deep Seahawks' backfield. And that should alleviate the pressure off Smith, whose regaining confidence. On the other hand, jury still out on Trey Lance for the 49ers. And Kittle did not practice all week. Sure, Jammal Adams Jr. is a big loss but Carroll has depth in the secondary this season. And SF has got their share of injuries in the secondary as well. Another concern is that Shanahan is 0-7 ATS as a less than .500 favorite vs an opponent off a home game. Take the points with the Seahawks. |
|||||||
09-18-22 | Falcons +11 v. Rams | 27-31 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show | |
Falcons/Rams 4:05: Rams looked extremely mediocre last Thursday to open up the season. Of course, the Bills have a tendency to make teams look a step slow. But Rams showed flaws defensively in run game and in coverage. DC Morris has talent but they underachieve a great deal. Look for a Falcons' offense to kick it in gear again. Last week, they were on the verge of winning outright, and it actually took an unbelievable amount of bad effort to cough up that game but they did. Smith, a solid offensive mind, should be able to clean it up or insert Ridder if Mariota drops the ball, literally, again. Patterson, #1 draft choice - London, Zaccheaus, and Pitts are all dangerous weapons at Mariota's disposal. Need the Falcons' defense to make some plays. Falcons are actually 3-0 ATS at Los Angeles, 13-3 ATS in Week 2, and covered 5 of their last 7 road games. We'll grab the double digits. |
|||||||
09-18-22 | Washington Commanders +1.5 v. Lions | 27-36 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
Commanders/Lions 1:00: Lions not ready nor deserved to be a favorite yet. Philadelphia ran all over them (216 yards) last week and it's not going to get any easier vs Washington. Commanders' revamped offense looked good last week as Wentz threw 4 TD passes and distributed the ball well to his multiple weaponry Samuel, McLaurin, Dotson and Gibson (130 all-purpose yards). Detroit does not have the secondary strength to hold up against that firepower. And sure, Commanders' defense has its concerns too. And Swift (144 yards rush last week) is outstanding; however, he's got an ankle issue and may not be at best. Also, Detroit's Center - Ragnow is out. Grab the Commanders to go to 2-0. |
|||||||
09-18-22 | Panthers +2.5 v. Giants | 16-19 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
Panthers/Giants 1:00: Both teams started last week sluggishly and had strong finishes, except Giants pulled out a win and Panthers had to watch in horror a last second 58 yard field goal sail through the uprights. Look for Mayfield and company to battle back today. Carolina 10-2 ATS as a less than .500 dog vs a non-division opponent early in the season. NY 1-9 ATS at home vs an opponent off a SU favorite loss early in the season. Carolina a bit more hungry for this one. Panthers the call. |
|||||||
09-17-22 | Colorado State v. Washington State -16.5 | Top | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show |
Colorado State/Washington State 5:00: Washington State coming off one of the most impressive non-conference victories in school history. They went into Madison, Wisconsin and knocked off the Badgers as a 17.5 point dog. The Cougars' defense held the vaunted Wisconsin run game to less than 4 YPC. Now, the Cougars will take on a Rams' unit that is 130th out 131 teams running the football with a paltry 36 rush YPG. And their QB Millen has been sacked 16 times! It's not that their skill personnel is bad, it's an offensive line that can't block anyone. Jay Norvell won't figure it out just yet. i don't believe Washington State will suffer a letdown here. Cougars covered 4 of last 5 at home and are 15-6 ATS at home vs a team with a losing road record. |
|||||||
09-17-22 | Kansas +9 v. Houston | 48-30 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show | |
Kansas/Houston 4:00: Lance Leipold gradually turning the moribund Kansas Jayhawks around. Since last season, they've now covered 5 straight games and, with a win here, could be the first Kansas team to be 3-0 SU since the 2009 team under Mark Mangino. The Jayhawks offense is cooking with QB Jalon Daniels. Kansas won a barnburner at West Virginia in OT last week. Houston's defense is nothing to rave about - allowing 455.5 YPG (116th). Jayhawks surely capable of trading points. We'll grab the points. |
|||||||
09-17-22 | BYU +3.5 v. Oregon | 20-41 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |
BYU/Oregon 3:30: BYU plays a tough physical brand of football. They went into a slugfest with a tough Baylor team last week and came out victorious. I expect a similar result here. Oregon QB Bo Nix can light up the scoreboard vs lightweights but he's in for another heavyweight battle here. The first one didn't fare well vs Georgia and it won't go well tonight. Sitake has lots of returning starters on a deep defensive unit, a good QB Hall and quality special teams. BYU 10-0 ATS as a dog of less than 6 points off a SU win. BYU the call. |
|||||||
09-17-22 | Oklahoma -11 v. Nebraska | 49-14 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Oklahoma/Nebraska Noon: Scott Frost era officially over and the transition to a new coaching staff comes at an inopportune time. Oklahoma so far has been near flawless in their execution with QB Dillon Gabriel playing well: 70% completions, 5 TDs, 0 INTs. Defensively, Sooners allowed just 16 points. Mickey Joseph, the interim HC for Nebraska will attempt to get Casey Thompson and company rolling here; however, the focus is questionable at best here. We'll look for the Sooners to deliver. |
|||||||
09-17-22 | Purdue +1.5 v. Syracuse | 29-32 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
Purdue/Syracuse Noon: Syracuse screened the crap out of L'ville in Game 1 and followed up with a blowout of Jim Mora Jr.'s rebuilding project at Connecticut. Today, Babers gets his toughest test yet. Purdue was a minute away from pulling the upset against Penn State in Game 1. Brohm's boys bounced back with a blowout win over Indiana State. We'll look for the Boilermakers to follow up with a win here. Purdue more than capable of trading points with Syracuse whose offense is fueled behind QB Shrader and RB Sean Tucker. Purdue is equipped with accurate QB Aidan O'Connell and his top WR Charlie Jones who already has 21 catches for 286 yards and 4 TDs. Expect Syracuse to bracket or double him. Look for TE Durham to step up his game today. Defensively, Purdue without their star Jalen Graham. Boilermakers do have some defensive depth to handle the massive line of Syracuse and good leadership from Chris Jefferson (72 yard TD return in 4th quarter vs Penn State). Purdue sports a 16-6-2 ATS mark on the road vs teams with a winning home record. Syracuse sports a money burning 1-4 ATS mark vs Big 10. Purdue the call. |
|||||||
09-15-22 | Chargers +4 v. Chiefs | 24-27 | Win | 100 | 20 h 43 m | Show | |
Chargers/Chiefs 8:15: Chargers a dangerous road dog vs their division at 16-4-2 ATS. And they're 3-0-1 ATS in Kansas City. This line moved a point when Chargers' All Pro WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) was ruled out. Nevertheless, accurate and poised QB Herbert still has a good amount of weaponry at his disposal. DeAndre Carter is on the verge of a breakout year. TE Everett an underrated TE, and Joshua Palmer shows promise in his second year. They do need Mike Williams to step up his game. And the backfield is loaded with Ekeler, Kelley, Spiller and Sony Michel. If a receiver is open, Herbert will find him. And the offensive line, bolstered in offseason, held up well vs Las Vegas. We'll look for them to follow up strong here. Chiefs are dangerous on both sides of ball but do have some secondary issues and I believe they're going to be tested tonight. And let's not forget about Chargers' defensive bookends Bosa and Mack. Keeping Maholmes in pocket will be essential and those two are the best for the job. Chargers very capable of trading points with KC as they've proven in recent years. Road team 16-5-1 ATS in this series and I'm going with the trend. Chargers the call. |
|||||||
09-12-22 | Broncos v. Seahawks +7 | 16-17 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
Broncos/Seahawks 8:15: Russell Wilson now at the helm of Denver after piloting the Seattle' offense for 10 seasons. And the Seahawks are equipped with arguably the worst QB situation in the NFL with journeyman Geno Smith as the starter and former Denver cast off - Drew Lock as the backup. But if you think a Pete Carroll coached team is going to roll over, you got another thing coming. Seattle addressed the offensive line in the off-season with a strong draft and #1 pick Charles Cross and #3 pick Abraham Lucas have made strides. Carroll will most likely establish the run game with Penny, Homer and Dallas. #2 draft pick Ken Walker (hernia) most likely not ready. Establishing that run game and setting Geno Smith up with play action would be the plan. On the other side of the ball, Seahawks have solid rookie corners including Tariq Woolen who already worked his way into the starting lineup. Broncos have a rookie head coach Hackett and three novice coordinators. I don't expect the defense to be dominant like it was under defensive mastermind Fangio. Seattle sports an 8-1 ATS mark as a MNF home dog. We'll grab the TD. |
|||||||
09-11-22 | Packers v. Vikings | Top | 7-23 | Win | 100 | 15 h 49 m | Show |
Packers/Vikings 4:25: Packers have lost 4 of the last 6 trips to Minnesota and I'm confident the Vikings can deliver again. Vikings' underrated QB Cousins loaded with weaponry and they're all healthy for a change. Thielen and Justin Jefferson spearhead one of the best WR duos in the NFL. And when RB Cook is doing his thing, Minnesota is hard to stop. Green Bay made some questionable off season moves including not re-signing one of their best pass rushers - Za'Darius Smith (44' sacks/53 tackles in 91 games). The Vikings, ironically, were glad to pick him up to add to their pass rush with Hunter. New DC Ed Donatell, who studied under one of the best defensive minds in the business - Vic Fangio, installed the 3-4 and more built to handle the teams that air it out. Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers won't have dominant Devonte Adams (Raiders) to throw to. And Lazard (knee) is doubtful. He has rookie #2 draft pick Christian Watson as one of his go-to guys. Vikings addressed the defensive backfield in the draft and have a nice blend of talent to deliver. Minnesota the call. |
|||||||
09-11-22 | Raiders +3.5 v. Chargers | 19-24 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 48 m | Show | |
Raiders/Chargers 4:25: Rematch of season finale in which Las Vegas knocked Los Angeles out of the playoffs. Dog in this series is 19-7. Raiders made some notable changes in the offseason that should help them on both sides of the ball. Offensive mastermind - Josh McDaniels now commands the sideline and he's excited to have his QB Carr throwing to arguably the best receiver in the NFL Davante Adams (picked up from GB). Add TE Waller, Renfrow and healthy RB Jacobs to the mix in back of a healthier offensive line, Raiders should be able to trade points with the best of them. Of course, Los Angeles is loaded on both sides of the ball; however, top C J.C Jackson who was acquired from NE in the offseason, had foot surgery on August 24th and won't play. Offensively, Chargers will be dangerous as usual with QB Herbert and his weaponry. But Raiders also addressed their defense in the off-season adding Chandler Jones to the mix to team with Max Crosby as a dangerous edge rushing tandem. Raiders are 5-1 ATS in Game 1 and we'll ride them here as Los Angeles offers no home field advantage. LA is 20-41-1 ATS in home games. Raiders the call.  |
|||||||
09-11-22 | Giants v. Titans -5.5 | 21-20 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
Giants/Titans 4:25: Brian Daboll has Bills' QB Josh Allen to thank for launching him to the head coach of NY. Thursday Night, Josh Allen had a seamless transition to new Bills' OC Dorsey as the Bills' offense never looked better. Sure, Giants won big in the draft but still need work to clean up their game. Titans are a mission team this year after getting bounced by Cincinnati in the playoffs last season. RB King Henry is healthy and despite losing A.J. Brown (Philadelphia), Tannehill has a pretty solid receiving corps assembled in Robert Woods (from Rams), TE Austin Hooper (Cleveland) and their #1 draft pick Treylon Burks (Arkansas). Giants 0-5 ATS last 5 road dog roles and 1-4 ATS in this series. Titans the call. |
|||||||
09-11-22 | Browns v. Panthers | 26-24 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 23 m | Show | |
Browns/Panthers 1:00: Give the edge to the home team here. Former Brown - Baker Mayfield, now the starter for the Panthers. He had the off-season shoulder surgery which cleaned up his injured left shoulder. His shoulder injury ultimately led to his departure in Cleveland. He won the starting job for Carolina and should have a major chip on his shoulder against his former team today. This is when he is at his best and we'll give him the edge over Browns' signal caller - Jacoby Brissette. Mayfield has a solid cast of weapons including a finally healthy Christian McCaffrey. Browns sluggish in Week 1 games at 6-15-1 ATS. Carolina the call. |
|||||||
09-10-22 | Colorado v. Air Force -17.5 | 10-41 | Win | 100 | 38 h 49 m | Show | |
Colorado/Air Force 3:30: I don't expect a fall off from AF here. They racked up 582 yards on the ground last week in route of Northern Iowa. Falcons now face a Colorado defense that allowed TCU to run all over them to the tune of 275 yards. The Buffaloes won't have much time to turn around the run stop unit and focus on assignment football to stop the vaunted triple option of Air Force. And the Buffaloes do not have the QB to make any noise against the well disciplined Falcons. Dorrell's QB for the first half last week - Brendon Lewis - threw for a paltry 78 yards before relieved of duties. J. T. Shrout came in the second half and did a bit better - 157 yards and a scoring drive; however, the game was already in the balance. Lay the wood with Air Force, which is 7-1 ATS vs a less than .500 non-conference opponent. |

09-10-22 | Memphis v. Navy +5 | Top | 37-13 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 55 m | Show |
Memphis/Navy 3:30: Memphis program eroding ever since Norvell left for Florida State. Silverfield now 0-10 ATS on the road with Memphis. I definitely don't feel comfortable laying points on the road here in a double revenge situation for Navy. Navy is coming off a disappointing loss to Subdivision Delaware Hens. Navy played uncharacteristically sloppy (3 turnovers) against the Hens. Look for the discipline to be instilled this week under well-organized Navy HC Niumatalolo. Memphis, which got lit up in the air against Mississippi State last week, must now turn their attention to assignment football against the Midshipmen Triple-Option. Not an easy transition. Navy sports a 5-2 ATS mark in this series and the home team is 5-0 ATS. Memphis is 0-8 ATS as a favorite of less than 10 points vs an opponent off a SU favorite loss. Grab the points at home with the Midshipmen. |

09-10-22 | Alabama -20 v. Texas | 20-19 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 20 m | Show | |
Alabama/Texas Noon: Texas probably did a disservice to themselves by blowing out UL-Monroe. They now got Alabama's attention. The Crimson Tide is coming off a 55-0 shellacking of Utah State whom they held to a meager 136 total yards. 'Tide eager to atone for last year's NCAA Championship loss should stay hungry here. And they should be focused here considering they have on deck the very cupcake - UL Monroe - that Texas battered last week. Sure, Sarkisian, former OC for Nick Saban, had a great recruiting class, and landed Ohio State QB transfer Quinn Ewers, who did OK in his debut vs defenseless UL Monroe. Doing just OK against the loaded Alabama defense could be problematic. Alabama All American LB Will Anderson (17' sacks last year) should be keeping Ewers up all week with the cold sweats. Defensively, Longhorns ranked 93rd defensively a year ago and, although improved, UL Monroe is no match for the offensive machine of Bryce Young and company. Saban, who rarely loses to former assistant coaches, lost twice to his disciples last year, including Jimbo Fisher and Kirby Smart. Saturday, he should get back on track in blowing out his former assistants.  |

09-10-22 | South Carolina +9 v. Arkansas | 30-44 | Loss | -107 | 12 h 37 m | Show | |
South Carolina/Arkansas Noon: Gamecocks are no longer a pushover in the SEC. Last season, Shane Beamer delivered a winning campaign including a bowl win as a double-digit dog against North Carolina. In the offseason, SC had tremendous success in the transfer portal. They nabbed former Heisman favorite Spencer Rattler from Oklahoma and brought his TE Austin Stogner. Moreover, signed one of the top wide receivers in the nation in Antwane Wells Jr. from James Madison. All of them contributed in Week 1 win over Georgia State. Beamer has a lot of the core group of last year back plus a solid recruiting class - better than Arkansas. And just like his highly successful coaching dad - Frank Beamer, Shane has the special teams at peak performance - last week played a huge role in the win with two blocked punts and two 50-yard field goals. Look for the Gamecocks to stick around. |
|||||||
09-08-22 | Bills v. Rams +2.5 | 31-10 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 41 m | Show | |
Bills/Rams 8:20: Incumbent Super Bowl Champ Rams find themselves as an underdog and it's highly disrespectful. Sure, understand the hype of the Bills. They're loaded and the pre-season favorite to win the AFC. They do, however, won't have their best corner - Tre'Davious White (IR). Sure, Buffalo bolstered their secondary through the draft but having to deal with the dynamic All-World WR Kupp and newly acquired but outstanding and highly underrated Allen Robinson will be extremely challenging for them. And throw in a healthy TE Higbee and RB Cam Akers, Rams have the skill talent at QB Stafford's disposal. Sure, Von Miller is a threat but don't discount Rams' OT Noteboom. He's a quality replacement for retired Whitworth. And defensively, let's not forget about the most disrupting force in the NFL - Aaron Donald. And WLB Leonard Floyd is a proven pass rush threat. Moreover, CB Ramsey (should) is good to go to match on Diggs. Bills' offense is a machine with Josh Allen and his emerging talent WR Gabe Davis. Plus #2 draft choice RB James Cook is good. Nevertheless, Rams' DC has deep talent including newly acquired future Hall of Fame Mike LB Bobby Wagner. Sure, Bills got the best of the Rams the last few times, but that was with QB Goff, now at Detroit. Stafford makes a difference. Rams are 5-0 ATS in Week 1 and 10-4 ATS in September. We'll grab the undeserved dog and the points. |

09-05-22 | Clemson -23 v. Georgia Tech | 41-10 | Win | 100 | 18 h 55 m | Show | |
Clemson/Georgia Tech 8:00: Clemson could be a mission team this year. They've been out of National Championship contention for a few years but don't discount Dabo Swinney. He still garnered a Top 10 recruiting class, have a devastating Front 7 coming back defensively, and bolstered their skill personnel with 5* QB Cade Klubnik if DJU struggles again. As for Georgia Tech, they've taken a nosedive since Paul Johnson and his Flex Bone left. Geoff Collins has been unable to establish a strong recruiting base in his money burning 10-21-1 ATS ledger. Clemson is breaking in new coordinators but should be fine. Tigers are 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 in this series. Lay the wood. |
|||||||
09-04-22 | Florida State +3.5 v. LSU | 24-23 | Win | 100 | 18 h 23 m | Show | |
Florida State/LSU 7:30: Huge expectations for LSU this year with new hire Brian Kelly. And rightfully so. Kelly was sensational at Notre Dame considering his limitations on recruiting with the high academic standard of the Irish. With LSU, he'll get those 5* recruits. As for today, the Tigers are not where he'd like them to be. His QBs are not home run hitters: Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels had a mediocre season last year while redshirt freshman Nusmeier is years away from being a threat. LSU lost some stars on both sides of the ball and won't have top RB Emery (academics). On the other hand, Florida State has been quietly getting better since mid-last year under Norvell. They finished on a 5-2 ATS run down the stretch last year and started this season blowing out Duquesne in a tune-up. In that game, they had 3 backs run for 100+ yards each. And yes, they have some push up front on both sides of the ball. Florida State had lots of freshmen starts last year (32%) which was the 3rd highest in the NCAA. And Norvell has lots of returning production and solid dual threat QB in Jordan Travis. Throw in the strong Top 20 recruiting class, and Florida State should be back in business this season. Tonight, we'll look for the cover. |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Louisville -4.5 v. Syracuse | 7-31 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
Louisville/Syracuse 8:00: Cardinals rolled the Orange last season to the tune of 41-3 as Malik Cunnigham has 5 TD's in the first half! Sure, Syracuse would love revenge but the previous year Cardinals bludgeoned them 30-9. Go back to 2019, the Cardinals won by 22 points. Simply put, Satterfield owns Babers. The Orange are also thin at QB with last year's starter DeVito transferring to Illinois. With Louisville having a lot of returning production back from last year's bowl season, we'll look for the Cardinals to get off to a good start again. |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Memphis v. Mississippi State -16.5 | 23-49 | Win | 100 | 16 h 2 m | Show | |
Memphis/Mississippi State 7:30: Bulldogs had 134 starts by sophomores last season and his team improved dramatically in scoring and stats on both sides of the ball. With that kind of returning production, look for the Bulldogs to get out of the gate strong this year. They face an eroding Memphis team under Silverfield in his third year as HC. Tigers 0-9 ATS on the road with him thus far. We'll lay the wood here.  |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Houston v. UTSA +4 | Top | 37-35 | Win | 100 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
Houston/UTSA 3:30: Houston super hyped off their successful 12-win season and an eyeball focused on joining the Big 12 next season. And this one is heavily overweighted with betters pounding Houston. Hype has not been good for Houston; as a matter of fact, since 1949, each time they've come off a double-digit win campaign, they've averaged just 6.5 wins the following year. Holgersen will tease you with a modicum of success and let you down the next. Don't discount UTSA and HC Traylor. They're coming off a highly successful 12-win season themselves. And lots of great skill personnel coming back including QB Frank Harris who can flat out ball. Btw: Roadrunners are 10-1 ATS as a dog of 9 points or less. Grab the points. |
|||||||
09-03-22 | Colorado State +31 v. Michigan | 7-51 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Colorado State/Michigan Noon: Much hyped Wolverines, pre-season ranked 8th in the nation. However, still uncertainty in a few areas. Harbaugh starting QB McNamara today and next week going with sophomore McCarthy. Nevertheless, offense should be solid with lots of returning starters in all areas. Defense, however, is a concern. Lost SEVEN to the NFL and not the easiest thing to sort out for week one. Colorado State is now run by Jay Norvell who produced a good offense at Nevada and went bowling his final 4 years there. He brought with him QB Clay Millen and a pair of solid receivers in Horton and Stovall. In addition, got 13 players from the transfer portal. Colorado State was respectable under defensive minded Addazio. The Rams' defense is led by returning linebackers Carter and Jackson who produced a majority of their tackles. Interestingly, the Rams were in virtually every game last season except the last game of the season vs Norvell's Nevada team which trashed them 52-10. We'll look for the Rams to cover here. |
|||||||
09-01-22 | Penn State v. Purdue +3.5 | 35-31 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
Penn State/Purdue 8:00: Penn State has dominated this series to the tune of an 8-0 run but haven't met since 2019. The Nittany Lions regressed last season losing 6 of their last 8 games; moreover, statistically went backwards both on offense and defense. Sure, QB Clifford has his OC back and a star freshman RB; however, lost a top receiver (Bell) to the NFL and have to break in 3 new offensive linemen. They had one of the worst run games in the Big 10 (13th) at 107.8 YPG. On the other hand, Purdue's HC Jeff Brohm is feeling good off a successful season and bowl win. He has his star QB Aidan O'Connell back and added Iowa's explosive WR Charlie Jones, who was the Big Ten Return Specialist winner. Purdue is a dangerous dog at home and I'll grab the points. |
|||||||
09-01-22 | West Virginia +7 v. Pittsburgh | 31-38 | Push | 0 | 120 h 27 m | Show | |
West Virginia/Pittsburgh 7:00: Pittsburgh's Narduzzi surely has his Panthers heading in the right direction. They're coming off a stellar 2021 season, have their whole offensive line back, some good defenders back, and added some blue-chip players (QB Kedon Slovis, WR Mumpfield) to replace QB Pickett (NFL) and defector WR Jordan Addison (USC). However, they won't have CB Mathis in a young secondary. West Virginia no joke. HC Neal Brown may be just 17-18 SU there in his 3 years for the Mounties, but he's a solid coach and a dangerous dog. His Mounties out recruited Pittsburgh and he's got some talent to work with. Former Trojan and Georgia Bulldog - J.T. Daniels is an upgrade and he's protected by experienced offensive line and good skill personnel. And lineman Dante Stills anchors a solid line in a well-coached defense that's young but hungry. With the dog in this series at 4-1 ATS, we'll grab the points. |
|||||||
09-01-22 | Central Michigan +21.5 v. Oklahoma State | 44-58 | Win | 100 | 3 h 38 m | Show | |
Central Michigan/Oklahoma State 7:00: Tonight, it's unlikely the Chippewas will go into Stillwater and knock off the Cowboys like they did in 2016. That loss left a bad taste in Gundy's mouth but the players in that game are no longer on the field. And Central Michigan HC Mcelwain, who's been on the Chippewas' sideline since 2019, has reloaded with a pretty good team. Last season, CM finished on a 6-1 SU/ATS roll, including upsetting Washington State in the Sun Bowl. He fielded many underclassmen, and that experience will help starting the season tonight. Most of his entire offensive line that led RB Lew Nichols to 1,848 rushing yards is back. With Nichols, QB Richardson and WR Dallas Dixon leading the skill personnel, Chippewas have a fighting chance to stay in this one. And Okie State lost some key defensive personnel from their top Big 12 defense. And their defensive coordinator - Tim Knowles - bolted to Ohio State. Former Vanderbilt HC Derek Mason takes over to guide a defense that lost 6 of the top 8 tacklers. Defensively, Chippewas were tops in the nation in TFL's last season and bring back a respectable cast of players. They'll have their work cut out for them against Spencer Sanders and company. We'll look for CM to stay in this one and cover. |

08-27-22 | Vanderbilt -9.5 v. Hawaii | 63-10 | Win | 100 | 21 h 56 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt/Hawaii 10:30 Under normal season conditions, teams traveling to Hawaii have trouble there. Teams get caught up in the festivities, oceanic views, pretty women, and the adjustment to the time zone. The Commodores were bad last year but managed to be competitive in the dominant SEC down the stretch of the season covering 5 of their last 6 games. This season, Vanderbilt has a more mature team this year with more speed, a solid recruiting class (32nd in nation), and HC Lea should have them more defensively sound than a year ago. On the other hand, Hawaii had a dismal offseason - bringing in a new head coach - Timmy Chang - who lost a ton of players through the transfer portal with the dismissal of Todd Graham. The recruiting rank under Chang was in the bottom tier of the NCAA Division I. Should be a tough season for the former record setting QB and it starts tonight. Lay the wood with Vanderbilt. |
|||||||
08-27-22 | Northwestern +11.5 v. Nebraska | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show | |
Northwestern/Nebraska 12:30: Both teams finished at 3-9 last season. The lone win for Nebraska was a 56-7 white washing of the Wildcats in Nebraska. Northwestern had a pitiful offense last season but did a decent job on the recruiting trail this season. And they do have some decent returning starters from last year. NW HC Pat Fitzgerald is dangerous as a dog with revenge vs a sub .500 team at 9-1 ATS. The 'Cats are also 5-2 ATS in August football. We'll take the double digits on this neutral field in Ireland. |
|||||||
08-26-22 | Patriots +1 v. Raiders | 6-23 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
Patriots/Raiders 8:15: Patriots' offense was pathetic on Tuesday in the scrimmage vs Las Vegas, but Wednesday got better. Run game starting to click a bit and Las Vegas still adjusting to their new DC's schemes. Raiders' offense was stymied for the most part in the scrimmages; after all, Josh McDaniels spent 18 years as the OC of New England under Belichick. And former Patriot - QB Stidham - who should get a majority of the reps, won't have dominant WR Davante Adams (resting) at his disposal. Adams abused New England's corners in practice but won't play tonight. I like Zappe in the mop up duty for New England. He has a decent command of the offense. Patriots, always dangerous as a preseason underdog (21-9 ATS), the call. |
|||||||
08-25-22 | 49ers v. Texans +2.5 | 0-17 | Win | 100 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
49ers/Texans 8:15: 49ers have been impressive early and then hang on late. They're 2-0 including a 17-7-win last week over Minnesota. And Shanahan pointed out that his starters will see more action tonight. As for Houston, can't discount their 2-0 pre-season ledger; however, defense has been the catalyst for the Texans; as a matter of fact, the Texans' defensive line has overachieved accounting for 11 sacks and 16 pressures while the Texans' young secondary is holding up well. Offensively, QB Davis Mills hasn't been flashy but productive enough to give the Houston defense time to recover between drives. And 3rd string QB Driskel is doing well with the mop up duty. SF is 0-4 ATS off a double digit ATS win vs an opponent off back-to-back wins. Take the home dog here. |
|||||||
08-25-22 | Packers v. Chiefs +1.5 | 10-17 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Packers/Chiefs 8:00: Oddsmakers had Chiefs at -4' early, but Andy Reid's statement to the press that he's undecided on playing starters this week shifted the line to GB as a slight favorite. That's fine. Chad Henne has proven he can guide the KC offense down the field and the KC offensive line is holding up well. Defensively, the young guys are producing: Rookie corners: Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson have shined in practices. GB, on the other hand, still haven't harmonized with Aaron Rodgers let alone Jordan Love - who will receive the lion's share of the action tonight. KC is 4-1 ATS off back-to-back SU pre-season wins and we'll grab them here. |
|||||||
08-22-22 | Falcons v. Jets +2.5 | 16-24 | Win | 100 | 18 h 10 m | Show | |
Falcons/Jets 8:00: Jets got the best of Atlanta in the scrimmages leading up to this game. We'll look for NY to deliver the goods. Flacco could see a bit of the action with a respectable Mike White playing most of the way, and Streveler mopping up. Jets a decent 8-4 ATS as a pre-season home dog. Sure, Desmond Ridder had a decent performance last week and should see limited action. Not confident with Franks in the mop up role. Jets a bit deeper defensively and we'll take the points. |
|||||||
08-21-22 | Eagles -1.5 v. Browns | 21-20 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
Eagles/Browns 1:00: Eagles got the best of the Browns in their scrimmages this week. Eagles loaded with skill personnel and a bolstered offensive line. And QB Minshew is a capable starter for a few teams in this league. Him and Carson Strong are simply better than the Browns' mop up QBs: Dobbs and draft bust Josh Rosen. Eagles' draft was strong with Georgia DT Jordan Davis and LB Nakobe Dean. Browns' defense staunch but drops drastically after first team exits. Stefanski doesn't plan on playing starters much at all. We'll look for Philadelphia to deliver. |
|||||||
08-20-22 | Cowboys v. Chargers -3 | 32-18 | Loss | -125 | 20 h 43 m | Show | |
Cowboys/Chargers 10:00: Both teams coming off a loss, but Chargers should respond favorably. Cowboys a dismal 16-27 ATS as a pre-season road dog. Dallas should sit most of their starters and the receiving depth is thin. QB Will Grier will finally get an attempt to make the roster but Chargers have enough defensive depth to neutralize the Dallas offense, which drops off considerably when the starters sit. And Chargers' DE Rumph looks to capture that swingman spot to spell relief for Bosa and Mack. He's been impressive in camp thus far. Offensively, Chargers QB Easton Stick I like. He was solid driving the team down the field last week; hopefully, he gets a majority of the snaps over perennial backup Chase Daniel who can't get the ball downfield. And the Chargers' deep backfield of Spiller, Kelley and Rountree looking for that backup spot behind Ekeler. Chargers, a decent home favorite at 23-16 ATS, should get er done. |
|||||||
08-20-22 | Washington Commanders +5 v. Chiefs | 14-24 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 43 m | Show | |
Commanders/Chiefs 4:00: Chiefs don't put much stock into pre-season, as their 19-32 ATS mark as a home favorite suggests. Washington not a big pre-season winner either, but like their late game depth that should come into play in the 4th quarter. KC and Washington will most likely use their starters early; however, KC thin at the receiving corps for Mahohmes with Hardman and Smith-Schuster laboring with injuries. Washington has ridiculous depth along their defensive front and add #2 draft choice Mathis to the mix; consequently, Commanders are in good shape to stop the heavy packages (12, 21, 13 personnel) KC throws at them. And offensively, Commanders have a solid QB rotation of Wentz, Heinicke and Sam Howell throwing to some talented receivers, including #1 draft choice Dotson. We'll grab the points. |
|||||||
08-19-22 | Saints +3 v. Packers | 10-20 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 60 m | Show | |
Saints/Packers 8:00: Saints a dangerous pre-season dog at 20-9 ATS. They looked very mediocre vs the Texans last week but should step it up a notch vs Packers. They've given Green Bay fits over the years (4-1 ATS) including that blowout win in Week 1 last regular season. Backup QB Andy Dalton, who directed a nice scoring drive vs the Texans last week, should see more playing time here. Ian Book and Costello are fighting for a roster spot and will see mop up duty. Saints do have some weapons. #1 draft pick from Ohio State - Olave looks great in practices vs GB, but he'll probably see limited if any action here. Nevertheless, Saints have a bit of receiving depth this year with a finally healthy Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry. And #1 pick OT Trevor Penning who brings a bad attitude, should help protect the QB and solidify the run in a revamped offensive line. Packers' backup Jordan Love has yet to impress in prime time. Saints' defense well-orchestrated under Allen vs the Packers. Take New Orleans. |
|||||||
08-18-22 | Bears v. Seahawks -3.5 | 27-11 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Bears/Seahawks 8:00: Seahawks were a half a minute away from covering last week's game at Pittsburgh. Secondary issues cost them early and late. Look for Pete Carroll to play a big hand in helping talented young corners Bryant and Woolen to tighten things up tonight. Bears' offense still trying to rev up and QB Fields will see limited action. Backups Siemian and Peterman do not instill fear in secondaries. Seahawks' pass rush looked decent last week and should be better tonight with the Bears shuffling of their offensive line. Defensively, Bears top defensive player - Roquan Smith is out (holdout) and that should allow the Seahawks to ignite their running game despite the absence of Walker III (out). Sure, Drew Lock (Covid) won't play but Geno Smith and Eason have big opportunities to bolster their status on the depth chart tonight. They'll do it in front of an improved offensive line. Seattle the call. |
|||||||
08-14-22 | Vikings +5 v. Raiders | 20-26 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
Vikings/Raiders 4:25: This line tilted towards Las Vegas when Cousins (Covid 19) was ruled out. But don't sweat it. Mond and Mannion have a solid surrounding cast and the Raiders' defense is in the early stages of adapting to new DC Graham. His scheme is complex and look for more confusion in the secondary. And sure, the Vikings' defense is in the same boat under a new DC. However, equipped with better personnel this season, especially in the secondary, to make plays. Remember, these Vikings were involved in six contests last season that were decided on the final play of the game. Vikings stay in games and that should carry over to the O'Connell regime. Vikings a decent pre-season road dog at 29-20 ATS and we'll grab the points. |
|||||||
08-13-22 | Rams v. Chargers -3 | 29-22 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 58 m | Show | |
Rams/Chargers 10:00: Possible early struggles for the Rams who most likely won't have QB Stafford (arm). Chargers' defense should be much improved this year with off-season additions (Mack) and a healthy secondary. And not that confident in Rams' QBs Perkins and Perez down the stretch. Chargers are loaded offensively. They even bolstered their offensive line through the draft for QB Herbert. Chargers #1 pick G Zion Johnson should help significantly in protecting Herbert and opening up holes for RB Ekeler and #4 pick Spiller. What could be problematic late for the Rams in this game is the secondary depth. McVay has 6 defensive backs sitting in this game, including Ramsey, Hill, Rapp, Fuller, Scott and Long Jr. Not a fan of career backup QB Daniel who struggles to get the ball down the field, but Stick and Peters could play in to working the Rams' thin secondary late. Fair value with the Chargers here. |
|||||||
08-13-22 | Seahawks +3.5 v. Steelers | 25-32 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 30 m | Show | |
Seahawks/Steelers 7:00: Seahawks went into rebuild mode and I like it. They bolstered their offensive line through the draft with two fine OTs and #2 pick RB Kenneth Walker III should flourish with Penny in Carroll's system. Sure, QB Wilson is a huge loss but Geno Smith and Drew Lock should hold the fort down until a big signing. And remember, 3rd team QB Eason threw 41 completions last preseason (5th in NFL) and decent in mop up duty. On the other hand, I like what Carroll is doing with the defense. He's gotten some great additions in the draft - #2 CB Bryant and #5 pick 6'4" Tariq Woolen. And a new DC Hurtt was long overdue. Steelers expended their #1 on QB Pickett. I don't believe he's the long term answer for Big Ben. Steelers have a few receivers banged up today. Seattle always dangerous as a pre-season road dog at 32-18 ATS. Seattle the call. |
|||||||
08-12-22 | Browns +2.5 v. Jaguars | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 1 h 54 m | Show | |
Browns/Jaguars 7:00: New Jaguars' HC Pederson should have his men playing better this year. Tonight, though, edge to the Browns. Browns' Watson has been working hard with the first team and he has a good surrounding cast with plenty of skill talent, including a deep backfield. And veteran QB Brissett is a quality starter in this league and should be ready for Week 1 when Watson most likely will serve the start of his suspension. And the Browns' defense should improve this year. Jaguars got a game under their belt last week and that usually serves as an advantage. They're given fair value as a favorite but like the Brownies as a hungry dog; after all, they're 10-2 ATS vs less than .500 opponents in preseason. Jax doesn't play the favorite role well off a SU loss at 4-10 ATS. Browns the call. |
|||||||
08-12-22 | Falcons v. Lions | 27-23 | Win | 100 | 16 h 17 m | Show | |
Falcons/Lions 6:00: Falcons a bit more ahead in progression on both sides of the ball than Detroit. Last season, Falcons improved defensively under veteran DC Dean Pees; however, pass rush was bad. Falcons healthier on that side of the ball and 2nd round draft pick Ebiketie should help aid in sacks. On the other side of the ball, Mariota and Ridder rotation much further along than the Goff, Boyle Blough rotation under new OC Ben Johnson. Falcons covered well on road last year and control a 5-1 ATS mark at Detroit. Falcons the call. |
|||||||
08-11-22 | Giants v. Patriots +3 | 23-21 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
Giants/Patriots 7:00: Lots of hype on the Giants. The success of their draft, offensive guru and new HC Daboll, and a healthy RB Barkely turning heads in pre-season camp. On the other hand, Patriots' offense seemingly struggling with new OC Patricia. And that disparity is reflected in the line. Don't rule out the Patriots. They're deeply rooted in discipline while Giants are in the early stages of adapting to a new system across the board. Patriots 20-9 ATS as pre-season dogs always a concern for faders. And the 3-9 ATS mark for NYG as road favorites equally a concern for Giants' backers. And it should be. Patriots will mop up late with slinging QB Zappe and we'll grab the points. |

06-16-22 | Warriors v. Celtics -3.5 | 103-90 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 46 m | Show | |
Warriors/Celtics 9:00: Celtics lost composure in Game 5 with turnovers and meltdowns (Smart) and the Warriors capitalized on it late to secure the win. Look for Boston to bounce back here; after all, they're 13-3 ATS off a SU loss, 8-2 ATS on 2 days rest. And they've been money on Thursdays at 5-0 ATS. Golden State just 6-13-2 ATS in the last 21 in this series and 1-3-1 ATS in Boston. Warriors won their playoff road game already but tough to follow up at this tough venue. We'll look for Boston to stay alive tonight. |

06-13-22 | Celtics +4 v. Warriors | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 6 m | Show | |
Boston/Golden State 9:00: Successfully had Golden State (+4) and the Under (213') on Friday to go 5-1 overall in sides and totals in this NBA Championship. Go back on Boston here. Celtics play well on the road as a dog (9-2-1 ATS) and covered 9 of the last 11 at Golden State. Boston is emphasizing rebounding for tonight; after all, when they win the boards, they're 2-0 vs the Warriors. When they lose the rebounding battle, they're 0-2 vs them. They've had a few days rest and that's important for veterans like Horford. Boston 8-1-2 ATS on 2 days rest. Moreover, they play well on Mondays (4-0 ATS) and they're strong off losses at 13-6 ATS. Golden State, however, just 3-8 ATS off a SU win. Boston not intimidated at this venue and we're taking the points. |

Warriors/Celtics 9:00: Warriors have won at least one road playoff game in 26 consecutive series, the longest streak in the NBA. Tonight, GS should steal one here; after all, they're 4-0 ATS off a SU loss, 4-1 ATS on 1 day rest and 10-2 ATS on Fridays. On the other hand, Boston a mere 1-4 ATS off 10+ point win and just 2-8 ATS on Fridays. Curry (foot) should be good to go. Warriors the call. |

Warriors/Celtics 9:00: Realize Celtics are hot off SU losses and have gotten the best of Golden State (5-1-1 ATS) in recent times; however, Boston has been mediocre ATS at home in the playoffs as their 4-5 ATS mark indicates. If Golden State is going to take one in Boston, it should come here; after all, they sport a strong 5-1 ATS mark off a SU win of 10+ and have won at least one road game in each of their last 26 playoff series since 2013! Look for the Warriors to steal one here. |

Celtics/Warriors 9:00: At first glance, seems Warriors should be 5-point favorites tonight; after all, the well-stocked explosive weaponry is capable of lighting it up on any team at any time on this floor; however, Boston has given Golden State some trouble recently, including the 110-88 beating at the Chase Center on March 16th. Curry struggled in that game vs Smart before leaving with an injury. Boston was also stronger in the paint. Tatum, Brown and Smart are currently at their best and a healthy Williams III is giving Boston that added force in the paint to help out Horford. Golden State has inexplicably been sluggish on Thursdays at 18-39 ATS while Boston sports a 4-0 ATS mark on this day. Boston is a dangerous road team at 20-5-1 ATS including 8-1 ATS as a road dog. They're physical, well-disciplined defensively, and sport an 8-1 ATS mark at Golden State. With that said, value with the Celtics tonight. |

05-29-22 | Celtics v. Heat +2.5 | 100-96 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 36 m | Show | |
Celtics/Heat 8:30: Heat have recaptured the momentum in this series. And should have Herro (groin) put some minutes in. As I mentioned in Game 6 analysis, Butler would come back strong, and he did. Tonight, like Miami to stay competitive on their home floor. Miami's covered 9 of their last 12 on this floor. Heat the call. |
|||||||
05-27-22 | Heat +9 v. Celtics | 111-103 | Win | 100 | 21 h 47 m | Show | |
Heat/Celtics 8:30: Usually big-time players step up their game off sub-par games. Jimmy Butler didn't play well in Game 5 so we'll look for him to have a good game in Boston, where he's played well; as a matter of fact, Miami sports an 11-4 ATS mark at Boston. The Heat sport an impressive 5-2 ATS mark off a SU loss and 19-9 ATS as a dog. Herro (groin), after missing last 2 games, should add the extra needed depth for the Heat to stay competitive this time down the stretch. Miami the call. |

Heat/Celtics 8:30: Back on Miami here. As anticipated in Game 2, Boston came out firing with Smart back in the lineup while Tatum was expected to go off after that disastrous 3rd quarter, he experienced in Game 1. Tonight, however, look for Spoelstra to make the right adjustments. Butler did a bit too much in Game 2. Need Herro to step up his game and now that Tucker (questionable) is out, someone else will have to turn it up a notch on Miami. They have the depth to do it. Heat a strong 6-1 ATS off a double-digit loss at home and a sweet 10-3 ATS at Boston. Miami the call. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Mavs +6.5 v. Warriors | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
Mavericks/Warriors 9:00: Mavericks had some good looks at the basket in Game 1, but the ball wasn't going down; tonight, we'll look for the Mavericks to ring them up. Mavericks 38-16 ATS off a SU loss, and 13-4 ATS after allowing 100 points previously. We'll look for Kidd to make the needed adjustments. Brunson and Bullock should be able to play better, and pretty confident Doncic's game will improve dramatically from Game 1. Mavericks are 6-2 ATS on 1 day rest and covered 11 of last 15 vs Golden State. Dallas is 6-2 ATS at Golden State. Warriors just 3-8 ATS on 1 day rest and 2-6 ATS as chalk. Also, they're 1-5 ATS off SU win. Dallas the call. |
|||||||
05-19-22 | Celtics +3.5 v. Heat | 127-102 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
Celtics/Heat 8:30: Celtics played a great 1st half in Game 1. Williams III was big trouble for Miami early as he worked his way back from injury. But the third quarter malaise culminating in a 20-5 Miami 3rd quarter run put the Celtics away. Jason Tatum, who had a strong first half, got lazy in the 3rd quarter and shoulders the blame. He's a big-time player and should show up tonight. He'll have Smart (knee) back in the lineup to supply the needed sustainable energy. Look for the Celtics to make the needed adjustments on Butler. Celtics have responded well off losses and on the road throughout the season/playoffs. Grab the points. |
|||||||
05-18-22 | Mavs +5 v. Warriors | 87-112 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 60 m | Show | |
Mavericks/Warriors 9:00: Mavericks had the luxury, unlike Boston, of having an extra rest day off their Game 7. Kidd had a chance to diagnose the Warriors' offense and institute a defensive plan. Mavericks' defense was stupendous in Game 7 vs Phoenix and will surely be up for the challenge with all the explosive weapons Golden State possesses. On the other end of the floor, Doncic got help at the right time as Dinwiddie came alive in the last two games contributing 15 and 30, respectively. When he's on, Dallas offense runs smooth to help out Doncic and Brunson. We'll grab the points. |
|||||||
05-17-22 | Celtics v. Heat -1.5 | 107-118 | Win | 100 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
Celtics/Heat 8:45: Celtics have a quick turnover time. They're coming off emotional Game 7 win Sunday. Marcus Smart, their energy force on both sides of the floor, has a sprained foot. They do get back Williams III (left knee) but limited minutes. Meanwhile, Heat hasn't been on the floor since last Thursday and well rested. They're deep and dangerous despite Lowry (hamstring) laboring. Edge to Miami which is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 home favorite roles.  |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Mavs v. Suns -6 | 123-90 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 34 m | Show | |
Mavericks/Suns 8:00: Home series all the way as the home team a perfect 6-0 ATS. Won't fight that trend here. Booker is back up to speed and Chris Paul usually takes over when the lights shine the brightest. Suns 4-0 ATS in their last 4 as home favorites. Suns the call. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Bucks +5.5 v. Celtics | Top | 81-109 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 26 m | Show |
Bucks/Celtics 3:30: Visiting team in this series is 5-1 ATS. Tatum and Smart carried the Celtics to victory in Game 6. Look for the heart of a champion to emerge from the Bucks tonight. Giannis remains a consistent force in the playoffs and needs a little more help. Portis and Connaughton have stepped up their game in the void of Middleton (out). Need Lopez and Allen to contribute. Look for Budenholzer to make the right adjustments here. Bucks 7-2-1 ATS off a SU loss. Milwaukee the call. |
|||||||
05-13-22 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -8 | 96-110 | Win | 100 | 21 h 40 m | Show | |
Grizzlies/Warriors 10:00: Wednesday was an absolute embarrassment for the Warriors. Look for Golden State to turn the tables on their comfortable confines. Golden State prides themselves on defense and adjustments will surely be made. Offensively, much better shot selection is most likely to happen. |
|||||||
05-13-22 | Celtics v. Bucks -1.5 | 108-95 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 23 m | Show | |
Celtics/Bucks 7:30: Bucks showed the heart of a champion late in Game 5 at Boston. Giannis was his usual All-NBA self, Connaughton put in quality minutes, Portis was clutch, and Holiday stepped up his game big time including his amazing defensive play on Smart. Celtics are formidable foes, but Bucks have a slightly deeper bench despite the loss of Middleton. Boston's Williams III loss hurts depth. Horford doing an amazing job but Giannis young legs really tough to stop down stretch in 4th. Milwaukee finishes. |

76ers/Heat 7:30: In Game 4, Heat couldn't hit the ocean from 3-point land (20%). We'll look for the Heat to be a much better shooting team on their home floor tonight. Heat 7-1 ATS as home chalk while the 76ers struggle as a road dog at 1-4 ATS. And Philadelphia just 1-6-1 ATS at Miami. Miami the call. |
|||||||
05-09-22 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -10 | 98-101 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 20 m | Show | |
Grizzlies/Warriors 10:00: Major uphill battle for Grizzlies without their playmaker Morant (knee) who averages 27.4 PPG. Warriors just too deep and talented. |

Boston/Milwaukee 7:30: Celtics have had enough time to learn how to exploit Milwaukee's loss of Middleton. Almost got there in Game 3. Tonight, we'll look for them to close it out. |
|||||||
05-08-22 | Heat +2 v. 76ers | 108-116 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 39 m | Show | |
Heat/76ers 8:00: 76ers threw a curveball a few hours before Game 3 by clearing Embiid. Heat had not prepared for the dominant big man; consequently, his presence helped ignite an inspired 76ers team. 76ers were fined by the NBA for the slick move. Tonight, Miami will be well prepared for Embiid. As for Miami, Lowry played in Game 3 but was ineffective (0 points). We'll look for a better game from him here as he establishes his rhythm. Look for Spoelstra to push the right buttons tonight. Heat 7-3-1 ATS in this series, 13-6-1 ATS off a SU loss. Miami the call. |
|||||||
05-08-22 | Suns v. Mavs +2 | 101-111 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show | |
Suns/Mavericks 3:30: Nice move by the Mavericks' Jason Kidd in Game 3 by putting Reggie Bullock on Chris Paul. Bullock made Paul uncomfortable by forcing the future Hall of Famer to be off his game with uncharacteristic turnovers and difficult shots. And offensively on Friday, Brunson stepped up his game to help Doncic. Still need Dinwiddie to reestablish his rhythm and Dallas could be trouble. Dallas 20-8-1 ATS on 1 day rest and 4-1 ATS as a home dog. Suns just 3-7 ATS on 1 day rest and on Sundays. Take Mavericks. |
|||||||
05-07-22 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -6.5 | 112-142 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show | |
Memphis/Golden State 8:30: Warriors coming off one of their worst shooting performances in the playoffs since 1991. We'll look for them to bounce back strong at home here. Grizzlies will be without Dillon Brooks (suspended). He averages 18.4 PPG and plays a big supporting role for Morant. Warriors should run away with this one. |

Mavericks/Suns 10:00: Mavericks have been a strong road team against winning home teams for a long stretch. They're 42-17-1 ATS in their last 60 road tilts vs a team with a home winning % above .600. And they're 36-15 ATS off a SU loss. Doncic, like always, is on his game. He'll need Brunson and Dinwiddie to give him offensive support. We'll bet on that to happen. Phoenix just 3-7-1 ATS on 1 day rest. Paul, after back-to-back strong games, overdue to gas out tonight. Edge to Dallas. |
|||||||
05-04-22 | 76ers v. Heat -8 | 103-119 | Win | 100 | 19 h 33 m | Show | |
76ers/Heat 7:30: As I mentioned in my Monday write up, Embiid is a huge part of what the 76ers have been doing on both sides of the floor virtually all season. Take him away, and the immense pressure is put on Harden to be the offensive force which he struggles with. Moreover, as stated before, DeAndre Jordan not a good option, Reed not bad and Bassey so, so. That won't cut it vs a deep Miami team as Adebayo continues to dominate. Miami the call. |
|||||||
05-02-22 | Mavs +6 v. Suns | 114-121 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 57 m | Show | |
Mavericks/Suns 10:00: Mavericks have been a ridiculously good road team vs home teams with a winning % above .600 at 42-16-1 ATS. They've covered 10 of their last 14 road tilts. Dallas covered both games at Phoenix for this season. Important to note that the Mavericks were getting 8.5 points in those games; however, that was before Porzingis was shipped to Washington in exchange for Dinwiddie and Bertans. Mavericks are now a better team. Bertans turns in good minutes defensively and was even a key scoring component in Game 3 vs Utah dropping 15 points while Doncic (calf) was out. Dinwiddie has been a huge addition as another scoring threat with Doncic. Suns' Booker not fully 100% with that lingering hamstring injury. We'll look for Dallas to stay competitive here. |
|||||||
05-02-22 | 76ers v. Heat -7.5 | 92-106 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show | |
76ers/Heat 7:30: Heat's Butler (knee) good to go along with Herro and Morris who each recovered from non-covid related illnesses. Lowry (hamstring) won't be ready, but the Heat have enough backcourt depth to fill the void. As for the 76ers, Embiid's (orbital bone) loss at this stage of the playoffs is a big one. He's been an integral part of getting Philadelphia to this playoff spot. Reed is a good hustle guy and a backup but not the big-time scorer of Embiid. And Jordan or Bassey are not good options. Heat have been solid as a favorite at 10-2 and we'll look for them to be on their game tonight. |
|||||||
05-01-22 | Warriors -2 v. Grizzlies | 117-116 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 18 m | Show | |
Warriors/Grizzlies 3:30: Memphis got the best of the Warriors in this series in the Morant era; however, the Thompson, Curry and Green didn't get any time on the floor together for any length of time in the series. Moreover, Poole had not come into his own yet. Now the Warriors are in a great rhythm with everyone healthy and they play well on extended rest at 6-1-1 ATS. And Morant not hitting shots. Just 1 of 10 in last 11 from 3-point range. That was against the soft defense of Minnesota. Warriors are in the top tier of the NBA defensively. We'll grab Golden State in Game 1. |
|||||||
05-01-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | 101-89 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
Bucks/Celtics 1:00: Celtics a bit more rested (3+ days) but they operate well on extended rest days at 3-1-1 ATS. They also perform well as a favorite (25-11-1 ATS) and sport a sweet 9-1 ATS run in this series. Boston proved why they're the #1 defense in the NBA by consistently making stops or taking away the key offensive player as they did so well against Durant. Giannis is a beast, but Celtics have found ways of stopping key players. Horford and Williams have each stepped up their game as well. And without Middleton (MCL), Milwaukee could struggle here. They've been sluggish in Game 1's, just 1-4 ATS on 3+ days rest, and just 3-8 ATS as a road dog. Celtics the call. |
|||||||
04-29-22 | Grizzlies v. Wolves +1.5 | 114-106 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 7 m | Show | |
Grizzlies/Wolves 9:05: I like this one to go to Game 7. Wolves were clearly in Game 5 at Memphis. Once again, a significant foul line disparity favoring the Grizzlies 39 to 24 trips to the foul line. And Minnesota was in control of that game - outshooting them 45%/42% Floor/3 point to Memphis' 41%/25%. KAT and Edwards played large. Areas Minnesota needs to clean up on is allowing offensive rebounds and turnovers which helped do them in Tuesday. Minnesota has that strong home floor, loud home crowd, and with the way they're shooting, should force a Game 7. Minnesota 15-7-1 ATS off a SU loss and we'll grab them here. |
