12-27-20 | Panthers +1 v. Washington Football Team | Top | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 16 h 18 m | Show |
Carolina at Washington 4:05 ET Panthers (+) over 'Those Guys'- Carolina is one of those team that have played much better than their record shows as they fought through injuries to key personnel. The Panthers have been especially under-rated on the road as they are 2-5 SU but get this 6-1 ATS. So, here we have division leader Washington who must win to stay in playoff contention only a 1-point favorite at home. It just looks the 'books' know Haskins can't cut it. Cats are 8-1 in last nine as road underdogs while the Football Team is 1-4 ATS as favorites and 6-13 ATS after a SU loss. Take CAROLINA! |

12-27-20 | Broncos +3 v. Chargers | 16-19 | Push | 0 | 16 h 59 m | Show | |
Chip's AFC High Roller Winner Denver at L.A. Chargers 4:05 ET Broncos (+) over Chargers- I'm a little surprised that this line is as low as it is even tho these two clubs have the same record 5-9. My concept of these two is that Justin Herbert is better than Drew Lock and the Chargers should be a stronger favorite. But, remember, no matter what you think for the most part that guy, the entity that sets the line knows more than 'we' do and they always will. LA opened under a field goal will probably lose by that amount today. Denver has been consistent not having two bad outing in a row as they are 8-1 ATS after a loss and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings in Los Angeles and the road team is 13-6-2 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Giants +10 v. Ravens | 13-27 | Loss | -113 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
Chip's NFL Power Play Winner New York Giants at Baltimore 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Ravens- With their mid-season lull behind them the Ravens have won three straight making a charge for the playoffs which is out of their control right now as Miami held the tie-breakers going into this weekend. New York is one-game behind Washington but own all tie-breakers and QB Daniel Jones returns after sitting out 2-of-3 weeks. The Giants play to ugh when you would least expect it as they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine as underdogs and 20-6 ATS in their last 26 as road dogs. Baltimore has some glowing trends but I'm not going to give them because I want no doubts about playing the Giants here. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Bears v. Jaguars +8.5 | 41-17 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 59 m | Show | |
Chicago at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Bears- Wouldn't it something if the Jaguars win this game on the field and lose out on the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. It could happen because the Bears are such frauds as their defense is mediocre and their offense even after a good month still isn't in the top half of the league. Chicago is still 'live' for the playoffs recovering from a six-game losing streak and have won their last two while Jacksonville looks to break a 13-game losing streak and will give veteran Mike Glennon some playing time and it might help. Take the JAGUARS! |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Browns v. Jets +7 | 16-23 | Win | 100 | 13 h 58 m | Show | |
Cleveland at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Browns- Cleveland currently has a pair of distinctions that are NFL streaks of longevity and futility as they have been shut out of the playoffs longer than any other club and they are along with the Lions the only original merger teams that have not made it to a Super Bowl. The Browns haven't been in the playoffs since 2002 and are 10-4 but still need to win and have either Miami, Baltimore or Indianapolis lose. Covid has hit the Browns and four of their receivers will be missing but with a taste of victory being so sweet for the jets last week they want to do it again. Take NEW YORK JETS! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Suns v. Kings +3.5 | 103-106 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Suns- It has been a combined 24 years between these two since either has made the playoffs 14 season for the Kings and 10 years for the Suns. Both clubs opened season with wins as Phoenix took care of Dallas at home while Sacramento went to Denver and won in OT 124-122. The Suns have now won nine straight as they were 8-0 in 'Bubble' games closing last season and they are 11-1 ATS in their last seven. The Kings have been playing well themselves as the are 5-2 ATS as underdogs in their last seven and 9-2-1 ATS as underdogs including 6-1-1 ATS at home as dogs. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Dolphins v. Raiders +2.5 | 26-25 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Miami at Las Vegas 8:00 ET Raiders (+) over Dolphins- Las Vegas has been horrid that past six weeks with their only win coming against the Jets with a Hail Mary pass on the final play of the game. Miami knows that they have to win out in the AFC top have a shot at the playoffs and consider this encounter a 'play-in game.' The Raiders lost QB Derek Carr early last week with a calf strain and his status is questionable. Marcus Mariota filled in and looked the best he has in three years and says it's all about him being healthy. In a surprise take LAS VEGAS! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Pacers v. Bulls +5 | 125-106 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Indiana at Chicago 8:00 ET |
|||||||
12-26-20 | 76ers v. Knicks +8.5 | Top | 109-89 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
Philadelphia at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over 76ers- The 76ers did their thing staging a fourth quarter comeback in defeating the Wizards gaining the victory with a non-cover. In their opener against Indiana New York held a lead at the half and then just could keep pace as the Pacers just ran over the Knicks in the second half. New York under their first year with veteran coach Tom Thibodeau showed some signs of promise as RJ Barrett looked like the player the Knicks thought he could be. I'm not sure if Philadelphia has solved any of their internal issues but the are still 16-35-2 ATS in their last 53 road games. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | 49ers +5 v. Cardinals | Top | 20-12 | Win | 101 | 12 h 0 m | Show |
San Francisco at Arizona 4:30 ET '49ers (+) over Cardinals- San Francisco has had some kind of year and I mean in the NFL not what's going on in their streets but the results have been similar a total disaster. They were five minutes away from winning the Super Bowl and now they will try and be a spoiler against Arizona who can clinch a Wild Card spot with a win here. With backup QB Mullins going down last week the Niners signed Josh Rosen but C.J. Beathard will start and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs. How much of a road game this is can be questioned as San Francisco play their home game here now. Take SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Indiana +7 v. Illinois | 60-69 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
Indiana at Illinois 4:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Illini- Indiana just opened their Big Ten season with a home loss to Northwestern as a 7-point favorite and now are about the same price as an underdog at Illinois. The Illini just pounded Penn State 98-81 as a 4.5-point road favorite as they took control midway thru the second half. Hoosiers coach Archie Miller was so upset with his clubs performance he call a 9am Christmas Eve practice to fix their ills and the Hoosiers are 7-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. Now, you understand why...Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Virginia +9 v. Gonzaga | Top | 75-98 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 6 m | Show |
Gonzaga at Virginia 4:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bulldogs- No. 15 Virginia was looking to prove themselves against ranked teams like Villanova, Florida and Michigan State all of which were cancelled do to COVID issues. The Cavaliers have won three straight but haven't played anyone the likes No. 1 Gonzaga's (6-0) who just played a pair of games against Northwestern State just to stay sharp as they won by 38 and 17 as 39 and 43-point favorites. Virginia (4-1) will be facing a Bulldogs team that averages 95PPG and Tony Bennett will have his No. 5 ranked defense ready and they rise to meet their competition and are 37-16 ATS in their last 53 games as an underdog. Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Western Kentucky +4 v. Georgia State | 21-39 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Western Kentucky and Georgia State 3:30 ET Hilltoppers (+) mover Panthers- It's Conference USA rep Western Kentucky (5-6) against the Sun Belt's Georgia State who is making their fourth bowl appearance since entering the conference 11 years ago. The Hilltoppers dropped four of their first five against bowl teams losing the UAB, liberty Louisville and Marshall while Georgia State's schedule was not as rigorous. WKU is 39-19 ATS in their last 58 as underdogs while the Panthers are 3-8 ATS L-11 against teams with losing records. Take WESTERN KENTUCKY! |
|||||||
12-26-20 | Kentucky +4.5 v. Louisville | 59-62 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Louisville 1:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Cardinals- These two have mirror records and the Wildcats at 1-5 may be in trouble when the Big Dance arrives and the 5-1 Cardinals will have to be better than what we've seen. Louisville does have wins over Seton Hall and their ACC opener over Pittsburgh but they were destroyed by Wisconsin 85-48. Kentucky has a number of problems one of which is poor shooting from the line (66%) and from beyond the arc (24.3). They are young and have maturity issues as Calipari has given players leave of absence from the team for a limited time. This is the 'biggest' game of the schedule for both side and a huge effort is needed in the worst way for the Wildcats. Take KENTUCKY! |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Clippers v. Nuggets +2.5 | Top | 121-108 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 21 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at Denver 10:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Clippers- I just love the way this one sets itself up as the Clippers come off their opening night win over the NBA Champs and take to the road against a beaten-favorite. Denver lost in overtime at Sacramento and return home hungry for their first win of the season. The last time these two met was during the 'Bubble Playoffs' and LA had a 3-1 game lead in the series only to see the Nuggets come back with three straight wins. In their loss to the Kings Jamal Murray had one field goal before fouling out, I expect a much better performance tonight. Denver 10-4 ATS as home dogs. Take NUGGETS! |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Iowa v. Minnesota +7 | 95-102 | Win | 100 | 22 h 57 m | Show | |
Iowa at Minnesota 8:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Hawkeys- Funny isn't it how two teams from the same conference the Big Ten with the same impressive record (7-1) can be graded so differently. Iowa is ranked No. 5 and has only lost to No. 1 Gonzaga while the Golden Gophers only lost at Illinois and are unranked. Minnesota coach Richard Pitino has made his squad aware of the media's opinion of their record and talent. Iowa has won the last two meetings but the gophers won 12 of the previous 17. Iowa is just 3-7 ATS as road favorites and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Nets v. Celtics +3.5 | 123-95 | Loss | -114 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Boston 5:00 ET Celtics (+) over Nets- Okay, everyone was waiting to see what the Nets would look and play like with their cadre of Superstars and they did not disappoint running away from the Warriors 125-99 with Durant and Irving leading the way with scoring 22 and 26 points respectively. Boston of course pulled another home underdog win against Milwaukee and are now 17-4 ATS as home underdogs and 23-8 in their last 31 games as dogs overall. Nets 7-2 ATS on the road but this is a new group and it's their first road game. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Vikings +7 v. Saints | 33-52 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 43 m | Show | |
Chip's NFC 'Stand-Alone' Winner Minnesota at New Orleans- Two weeks ago the Saints were the No. 1 seed in the NFC but have now dropped their last two games for the first time in three seasons and trail Green Bay for the overall top seed but can clinch the Division with a single victory. Last week Drew Brees returned to the lineup for New Orleans and despite everything that you have have heard he didn't pass 'my' eye test as his passes didn't have the same 'zip' or velocity and his accuracy wasn't all that good either. Minnesota (6-8) has been a hard team to figure this season and this week they have nine defensive players on injury report. Vikings have a small chance for the playoffs if they win out and Arizona loses their final two. Minny is 38-14 ATS after a straight-up loss and 4-1 ATS in last five road games while NO is 4-1 ATS in last five as favorites and are 9-2 ATS against teams with losing records. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Warriors +10.5 v. Bucks | 99-138 | Loss | -114 | 17 h 28 m | Show | |
Golden State at Milwaukee 2:30 ET Warriors (+) over Bucks- From what I've seen of the Warriors I'm beginning to wonder if the belong in this league. Granted losing Klay Thompson once again for a full season has doomed this franchise for another season. Along with Stephen Curry they were (are?) the best 'shooting guard' tandem in the league but with Draymon Green still out they don't have the defensive intensity needed and the pressure showed in Curry's terrible performance at Brooklyn on Tuesday. The Bucks had the best record in the NBA and still they have nothing to show for it while Golden State had the worst record in the league and got No. 1 pick James Wiseman out of the mix. Take the WARRIORS! |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Marshall +4.5 v. Buffalo | Top | 10-17 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 39 m | Show |
Marshall vs. Buffalo 2:30 ET Thundering Herd (+) over Bulls- Both these non-Big 5 clubs started the season with prolonged winning streaks as Marshall was 7-0 before getting pasted 20-0 by Rice (they also lost to UAB 22-13 in their next game) while Buffalo was 5-0 entering their MAC Championship game where they were bested by Ball State 38-28 last Friday. The Bulls have the flash with Jaret Patterson who ran for 301 and 409-yard in back-to-back games but was removed in the final quarter as he injured his right knee. The Thundering Herd are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 as underdogs and 7-1 ATS in their last eight bowl games while Buffalo is 1-7 ATS at neutral sites. Take MARSHALL! |
|||||||
12-24-20 | Hawaii v. Houston -9.5 | Top | 28-14 | Loss | -111 | 17 h 8 m | Show |
Hawaii vs Houston 3:30 ET Cougars (-) over Rainbow Warriors- How 'bout diss, the New Mexico Bowl is being played in Frisco, Texas somewhere in that huge state near Dallas. Houston (3-4) has dropped their three after having eight games postponed or cancelled is 19-7 against Mountain West teams and they want to finish the season at .500. Hawaii who is used to playing and hosting their own bowl game will be playing a bowl game on the mainland for just the third time. The Rainbows defeated the Cougars 54-48 in 3OT's in the 2003 Hawaii Bowl and the cats have been waiting for revenge ever since (Ya think?)! Aside the Islanders are 17-41 ATS against teams with losing records and 19-46 ATS after an ATS loss. Houston who plays on field turf is 20-8 on natural grass. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Spurs +2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 131-119 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
San Antonio at Memphis 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis who has the youngest roster in the NBA averaging just 24 years of age qualified as the 8th seed in last seasons playoffs but loss a one-game play-in game to Portland ended their surprising season. The Grizzlies had a strong preseason winning their first three while San Antonio failed to win a game going 0-3 and losing all three game by at least 13 points. This is Popovich at his best. Spurs are 5-1 ATS as underdogs and Memphis is 2-7 ATS in their last seven overall. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Heat v. Magic +5 | 107-113 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
Miami at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Heat- It was just seven short weeks ago when the Miami Heat made their incredible run to the NBA Finals and they just may not be up to it this soon. Because of the short break between seasons and the knowledge of the grind ahead a number of players will be playing just a percentage of their normal minutes on the court and the one this affects the most is Jimmy Butler. Although the Magic seem to disappear at home going just 2-13-1 ATS in their last 16 as home underdogs they youth developed fast during the latter part of last season before the virus. Take ORLANDO! |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Hornets v. Cavs +2.5 | 114-121 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Cleveland 7:05 ET Cavaliers (+over Hornets- Guess what? Cleveland's Kevin Love is nursing a right calf strain and will sit out the opener, what a shock as he has missed 69 games the past two seasons. Charlotte meanwhile is off their final preseason loss to Orlando as LaMelo Ball was 1-of-10 from the floor. The Hornets closed last season 7-0-1 ATS but it is a new time and the Cavaliers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight games as home underdogs. Cavs center Andre Drummond averaged 17.2 points and 15.2 rebounds last season and said he is determined to be the NBA Defensive player of the year. It must start here. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Villanova v. Marquette +5 | Top | 85-68 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
Villanova at Marquette 7:00 ET Golden Eagles (+) over Wildcats- No. 5 Villanova has already beaten a pair of ranked teams in Texas and Arizona State and have run off five straight winners since their lone loss in overtime against Virginia Tech. Marquette has dropped 3-of-4 winning at Creighton but losing at UCLA and Xavier and falling to Seton Hall at home. The Wildcats are the better club but the Golden Eagles are in a in a foul mood should be ready to bring this one down to the final buzzer. Take MARQUETTE! |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Illinois v. Penn State +4 | 98-81 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
Illinois at Penn State 6:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Illini- The thing we should all remember about polls, is that they are mostly bias opinions that reveal little. No. 18 Illinois started the season as high as No. 5 in the polls and then they had to play some games and have lost three times, granted all of their losses came against ranked teams in Baylor, Rutgers and Missouri but they didn't win any of them. The Illini are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games against teams with winning records and 1-4 ATS in their last five on the road and the underdog in this series is 19-8-2 ATS in the last 29 meetings. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
12-23-20 | Rutgers +3 v. Ohio State | 68-80 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
Rutgers at Ohio State 4:30 ET Scarlet Knights (+) Buckeyes- No. 17 Rutgers (6-0) get a true test at No. 20 Ohio State (6-1) who responded to their first loss to Purdue with a healthy win Saturday over UCLA 77-70. The Buckeyes have added different players to the mix as some return and they depend on a number of inconsistent freshmen. Meanwhile., I usually don't back one-man-teams but when your leader is unstoppable he make everyone else better and the best player on the floor will be Ron Harper Jr. Scarlet Knights are 18-6-2 ATS against teams with winning records and are 7-3-1 ATS on the road while the Buckeyes are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 home games. So...take RUTGERS! |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Clippers +3 v. Lakers | Top | 116-109 | Win | 100 | 24 h 35 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at L. A. Lakers 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Lakers- The defending NBA champion Lakers will open the season against the Clippers and their will be no home court advantage. Not only because fans won't be allowed to attend but of course because the Clippers and Lakers play in the same building. LAL went 4-0 in the preseason and with their off-season acquisitions many believe they are even stronger while LAC who was 0-3 in the preseason remained pat for the most part. Okay, he's meaningless support for 'our' side...Clippers are 7-0 ATS when playing the Lakers as visitors. Take CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Purdue +7 v. Iowa | 55-70 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 60 m | Show | |
Purdue at Iowa 9:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Hawkeyes- Usually I like for there have been more games played but with so many cancellations this one will serve 'our' purpose. I call it the 'Bang-Bang' theory where after an undefeated team is handed their first loss like Iowa against Gonzaga, after that they falter a second time the next time out (sort of like the Steelers this year) and they fall short. Purdue is off a 88-78 win at Notre Dame and has beaten the Hawkeyes four straight times and they are good enough to do it a fifth time. Take PURDUE! |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Central Florida +6.5 v. BYU | 23-49 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
Central Florida vs. B.Y.U. 7:00 ET Knights (+) over Cougars- The most commendable thing that took place during this weirdest of all college football when undefeated BYU accepted a opportunity to travel to play undefeated Coastal Carolina with just 48 hours notice after COVID cancellations. So, the Cougars on a bye week with no plans to play took on the challenge and were handed the defeat that squashed their hopes. BYU's QB Zach Wilson brings the No. 8 offense into south Florida and he's looking forward to playing in warm weather. But, he will be up against Gabriel Dillon who leads the No. 2 overall offense with 586 yards a game including 373 yards passing. Cougars have a much stronger defense No. 9 allowing joust 309 YPG while the Knights surrender 474ypg and 31.4 ppg while BYU allows just 14.6ppg. But, this is a bowl game in the South. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Texas Tech v. Oklahoma +2 | 69-67 | Push | 0 | 16 h 1 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Oklahoma 7:00 ET Sooners (+) over Red Raiders- Texas Tech was amped up for their home encounter with Kansas a 58-57 loss as the pressure of the meeting had them shooting tight and making just 32% of their shots from the field including 26% from 3-point range. Still, the Red Raiders have the No. 2 defense allowing just 52.4 ppg while Oklahoma's offense averages 85.3 ppg. Tech doesn't handle defeat very well as they are 7-19-7 ATS in their last 27 games after a straight-up loss. Add that the home team is 9-2-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings has me with the home dog. Take the SOONERS! |
|||||||
12-22-20 | North Carolina v. NC State +1.5 | 76-79 | Win | 100 | 16 h 0 m | Show | |
North Carolina at N.C. State 7:00 ET Wolfpack over Tar Heels- It's a bit unusual for these two rivals to be opening their ACC schedule against each other but these are strange times. NC State has moved their home games to PNC Arena and the Wolfpack players love the venue. North Carolina is off a rout of Kentucky outscoring the Wildcats 41-19 over one stretch but unlike season's past the Tar Heels are sluggish offensively and are ranked No. 157 and their defense isn't so hot either ranked No. 115 surrendering 66.7 ppg. NC not the club the media makes them out to be as they are 5-13-1 ATS after a straight-up win. State is 5-1 ATS in their last six home games and 5-2 ATS in their last seven overall. Take the WOLFPACK! |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Tulane v. Nevada +2.5 | 27-38 | Win | 100 | 17 h 21 m | Show | |
Tulane vs Nevada 3:30 ET Wolf Pack (+) over Green Wave- After starting 5-0 Nevada stumbled to the finish line losing two of their last three including a loss to San Jose State in the MWC Championship game. Tulane came from 2-4 to win 4-of-5 and finish 6-5 but just 3-5 in the AAC. Their will be no fans in attendance but the reception in Idaho will be cold enough for the Louisiana based Green Wave. Nevada is 0-3 in this 'Spud' Bowl having lost last season to Ohio and before that to Miami and Maryland. This time behind Carson Strong the MWC Player of the Year the Wolf Pack get the gravy in the Potato Bowl. Take NEVADA! |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Browns v. Giants +6.5 | Top | 20-6 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 54 m | Show |
Cleveland at New York Giants 8;20 ET Giants (+) over Browns- Daniel Jones is out and Colt McCoy is in for the Giants and there will be no homecoming or welcoming party here for Odell Beckham. New York had their 4-game win streak stop by Arizona last week and they were never in it while Cleveland had their own 4-game win streak stopped by the Ravens on Monday night. The Browns (9-4) are much improved but are still 4-9-1 ATS after a SU loss while the Giants are 6-0 ATS after an ATS loss and 7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs and 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Take NEW YORK GIANTS! |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Providence +4 v. Seton Hall | Top | 80-77 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show |
Providence at Seton Hall 4:30 ET Friars (+) over Pirates- Just when they started putting it together with four straight wins Seton Hall is messing with their chemistry by adding two new faces into the mix at the same time. Providence hasn't played since dec 9 when they won 79-70 at TCU and should hungry to play Take PROVIDENCE! |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Chiefs v. Saints +3 | 32-29 | Push | 0 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
Kansas City at New Orleans 4:25 ET Saints (+) over Chiefs- So, quarterback Drew Brees is returning action after missing four games of which the Saints won three. Kansas City (12-1) has clinched their fifth straight AFC West title and New Orleans needs a win to clinch their fourth straight NFC South title so there should be a greater need for for the Saints. KC 0-5 ATS in their last five overall while the Saints are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a home underdog and 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games as an underdog. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Marquette +2.5 v. Xavier | 88-91 | Loss | -104 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
Marquette at Xavier 2:00 ET Golden Eagles (+) over Musketeers- Xavier at 7-0 is unranked and haven't played a game since Dec. 9 and are off a 99-77 pounding of Oklahoma after a win at Cincinnati (which doesn't look so impressive now) and have Creighton on Wednesday. Look for the Golden Eagles to soar over the musketeers after losing last time out to Seton Hall 70-63. Take MARQUETTE! |
|||||||
12-20-20 | Texans +7.5 v. Colts | 20-27 | Win | 100 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
Chip's AFC Top-Rated Money Game Winner Houston at Indianapolis l1:00 ET Texans (+) over Colts- How, how can we possibly take Houston in this spot despite what we have seen in recent performances to which I say remember that no team is as bad one week to the next and no team is a good one week to the next. Indianapolis have been and looks dominate and the Texans look like they have already quit on the season but...they have not. These two met two weeks ago as Deshaun Watson fumbled from the one yard line in the final minute as the road team is now 10-2-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||

Chip's NFC Power Play Winner Tampa Bay at Atlanta 1:00 ET Falcons (+) over Buccaneers- Tampa Bay (8-5) is sitting in the 6th spot as a playoff wildcard after having played their last three at home and are taking to the road for the first time in five weeks. Atlanta is 4-4 under interim coach Raheem Morris although his game decisions under pressure have been questioned especially after the way the Falcons' blew the game to the Chargers last week. The Buccaneers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up win while the 'Dirty-Birds' are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 as home underdogs.Take ATLANTA! |

Chip's AFC Vegas Hotline Winner New England at Miami 1:00 ET Patriots (+) over Dolphins- Here we go again, or at least we should hear it because it happens time and again and I am talking about what Bill Belicheck does to rookie quarterbacks as witnessed by Justin Herbert three weeks ago in the Patriots 45-0 win over the Chargers. Poor Tua will try and overcome what he knows is coming but until you see it you will be exploited by the master. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

Illinois at Rutgers 1:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Illini- Watch out for the State University of New Jersey as they are making their mark on the gridiron in the Big Ten and now are ranked in the Top-20 at No. 19 for the first time since 1979. No. 13 Illinois was ranked No. 5 but is 5-2 and have played three ranked teams already including Baylor, Duke and Missouri. Knight good enough to win here. Take RUTGERS! |

Carolina at Green Bay 8:15 ET Panthers (+) over Packers- Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur says that having clinched the NFC North title that 'Nothing changes in our mind'...I wonder, isn't it just human nature to take at least a sigh of relief? Carolina under first year head coach Matt Rhule is just 4-9 SU but a respectable 7-6 ATS as they have been very competitive even without their All-pro versatile running back and receiver Christian McCaffrey who has missed all but three games. The Panthers are 2-4 SU on the road but 5-1 ATS and 7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs. Although, the Packers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as home favorites they are 1-5 ATS after a straight-up win. Already clinched...take CAROLINA! |

12-19-20 | Alabama v. Florida +17.5 | Top | 52-46 | Win | 100 | 19 h 26 m | Show |
Alabama vs Florida 8:00 ET Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama opened the season by allowing 24, 48, and 24 points and it was said that they had defensive weaknesses. Well, in their last six games they have allowed 17, 0, 3, 13, 17and 3 a grand total of 53 points averaging allowing 9.1 points and now they are up against a powerhouse offense. Florida who has 609 yards in offense last week in their 37-34 loss to LSU leads the nation in passing yards with 386 and the Tide are ranked No. 5 overall with 538 yards per game. The Crimson Tide are 7-0 ATS in their last seven and are 5-1 TAS in the last six meetings while Gators are 5-1 ATS in last six games as underdogs. Ebb tide as Gators chomp! Take FLORIDA! |

12-19-20 | Clemson -10 v. Notre Dame | 34-10 | Win | 100 | 15 h 25 m | Show | |
Clemson vs Notre Dame 4:00 ET Tigers (-) over Fighting Irish- All season long I've been saying that Notre Dame has finally reached that upper tier of teams like Alabama, Ohio State and yes even Clemson and they proved that they can play with anybody by defeating the Tigers 47-40. I believed that the public would gravitate to Clemson in the rematch because Trevor Lawrence would be back but the oddsmaker must have thought so as well making them double-digit favorites. So, my original thought that Notre Dame would sweet the series has been dashed as the public is backing the Irish. It wasn't the fact that Clemson was without Lawrence as his substitute passed for 439 yards in was a defense that allowed 208 yards rushing. Three defensive starters were out for the Tigers in that one and they are back and that might make the difference. It just seems too easy to take ND so I won't...take CLEMSON! |

Western Kentucky at Alabama 2:00 ET Hilltoppers (+) over Crimson Tide- Western Kentucky is 5-2 SU and only 2-5 ATS but have played some tough competition as their losses have come at the hands of Louisville and West Virginia while they have defeated a ranked Memphis team and Rhode Island. Alabama (4-2) has just one quality win over Providence and are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games overall and are only 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 home games and 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 overall. The Hilltoppers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games. Take WESTERN KENTUCKY! |

North Carolina at Kentucky 2:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Tar Heels- The two winningest schools in NCAA basketball history jump-it-up Saturday and both clubs are off to slow starts. Kentucky (1-4) won their opener against Morehead State and have dropped four straight since losing to a ranked Richmond team, a ranked Kansas, Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. The Wildcats issue is the lack of scoring as they average just 66 points shooting just 24% from behind the arc but play great defense allowing just 65 ppg. The Tar Heels have their own problems scoring as they are shooting 27% from 3-point range and just 67% from the free throw line. In need of a win take KENTUCKY! |

Oregon at U.S.C 8:00 ET Ducks (+3) over Trojans- Before the season started this was the match-up the experts all predicted would happen in the Pac-12 Championship Game but, it didn't happen the way that was expected. USC was unimpressive early struggling as double-digits favorites lucky just to beat ASU and a terrible Arizona team and last week they put together a miracle finish to beat and 'cover' against UCLA after trailing by 18-points late in the 3rd quarter. The Trojans were expecting to play Washington but 'you know what happened' as they aren't able to field a team. Oregon was 3-0 before dropping their last two on the road at Oregon State and California. These Ducks flew south for this game and they will crap on the Trojans! Take OREGON! |

12-18-20 | Nebraska -6.5 v. Rutgers | 28-21 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Rutgers 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Scarlet Knights- This is the final game for both clubs in 2020 and neither team no matter who wins will still fall short of a .500 season. If you compare these two's stats they are a wash without any advantage except that Rutgers offense has scored five more points a game while allowing two more. The fact that Nebraska is favored shows the bookmaker doesn't have much faith in the Knights especially after an outright win. Cornhuskers are 4-0 lifetime against Rutgers and get one of the thumb...take NEBRASKA! |

12-18-20 | UAB +4.5 v. Marshall | 22-13 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
U.A.B. at Marshall 7:00 ET Blazers (+) over Thundering Herd- Marshall had their undefeated season come to an end last time out bas Rice not only won but shutout the Herd 20-0 but, that wasn't the crazy part which is that they were a 24-point beaten favorite. This is the third straight trip tp the USA Championship game for the Blazers defeating Mid Tenn 27-25 two years ago and they were swamped by Florida Atlantic 49-6 last season. The home team is 11-3 SU and 10-4 ATS in the last 14 CUSA Championship games so I am surprised the line is as low as it is. Think about it Marshall's defense is No.1 in points allowed (11.4) and No. 2 in total yards (254) and rushing yards (73). It doesn't make sense for the line to be as low considering UAB runs for an average of 198 ypg. Take the BLAZERS! |

Seton Hall at Marquette 9:00 ET Pirates (+) over Golden Eagles- After starting the season 1-3 Seton Hall has won three straight including their Big East opener a 77-68 win over St. John's last Friday and their Tuesday game against Xavier was postponed. Marquette has defeated a pair of ranked teams taking down No. 4 Wisconsin 67-65 two weeks ago and Creighton 89-84 on Monday. But, the Eagles are now favored and should have difficulty focusing and that means trouble as the Pirates have a surefire No.1 draft pick in Sandro Mamukelashvili (how 'bout dat) who posted 32 points shooting 12-of-18 with nine rebounds against a weak red Storm. Add that the road team is 21-7-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings and the underdog is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take SETON HALL! |

L.A. Chargers at Las Vegas 8:20 ET Chargers (+) over Raiders- Oh-boy, this is a tough call for a number of reasons not the least of which is that my 3-2 Fab-5 Sunday included the Raiders who were stampeded by the Colts. So, after taking them and getting trampled last week...well you know the scenario, but the oddsmaker has lost some respect for Las Vegas as this line is just so low and inviting. The Chargers won despite bonehead coach Anthony Lynn once again blowing scoring opportunities my mismanaging the clock. That makes FIVE times this season! Do you think the Raiders defense can confuse Herbert they way Belichick's defensive plan did? How could it Gruden just fired his DC after Sunday's loss. The Raiders are in such need for a win but the 'powers that be' may not care. Take the CHARGERS! |

Kansas at Texas Tech 7:00 ET Red Raiders over Jayhawks- A pair of 6-1 Big-12 combatants face each other in Lubbock as No. 5 Kansas and No. 14 Texas Tech play their conference opener for the first time ever before Christmas. The Jayhawks have won six straight after losing their season opener to No. 1 Gonzaga 102-90 while the Red Raiders lost 64-53 to No. 17 Houston. Tech is 4th in the nation on defense allowing just 51.6 ppg and holding opponents to just 35% FG's. Kansas is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games but just 2-5 ATS after a SU win and 2-12 ATS after a win by more than 20-points (95-50 last time out). Defense is the key...take TEXAS TECH! |

Creighton at St. John's 7:00 ET Blue Jays (-) over Red Storm- This one can get interesting as the difference in styles will have to give at one time or another. St. John's is a more free-wheeling club that will press you on defense while the Bluejays will be more methodical as they commit fewer turnovers than most averaging just 9.5 but the Storm for 19 turnovers a game so it will be a battle of strengths. What it comes down to here is 'pressure defense' will wear down especially a road team playing just their second road game. Johnnies rebound from OT Georgetown loss. Take ST. JOHN'S! |

Duke at Notre Dame 9:00 ET Fighting Irish over Blue Devils- It's bad enough that No. 21 Duke is 2-2 but, to be 0-4 ATS has the alumni grumbling and having lost to a pair of Big Ten teams falling to Michigan State and Illinois at home. The Blue Devils take to the road for the first time against a Notre Dame team off a 64-63 win over Kentucky scoring just 16 points in the second have hanging on for the win. The Fighting Irish also lost to a pair of Big Ten powers MSU and Ohio State and this will be this their fourth game against a ranked opponent as they go 0-4. It's a difficult task for a 'Devil' to win at this Catholic venue even if it's Blue but coach 'K' has made deals with the 'Devil' before. Take DUKE! |

Purdue (4-2) lost twice on the road against Clemson and at Miami but are a perfect 4-0 at home against inferior competition but are also 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with winning records. The Buckeyes have winning trends all over the board but one spot, they are just 20-45 ATS on the road against winning teams above .600. It's the BOILERMAKERS! |

The Cowboys have also had an edge over the Horned frogs winning the last two and eight of the past nine at home. TCU who has struggled on the road 2-8 ATS L-10 do rise when playing better clubs with .600 winning % but still just 6-13 ATS after a SU win. OkSt just 1-4 ATS last five at home. Take HORNED FROGS! |

One of those wins came against Clemson (2-2) who dropped a 70-58 decision in Tallahassee last season and have lost 14 of the last 16 meetings overall. But, the Tigers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games and 10-4 ATS as road underdogs. Add that the road team is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings and the underdog is 21-9 ATS in the last 30 meetings. After losing their first two the Yellow Jackets have bounced back with wins over Kentucky and Nebraska as their defense was the key factor. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

Golden Gophers' coach Rich Pitino has the offense (84.2) cooking but will still have to go a bit as Illinois is scoring at an 88 point clip. The Illini return home where they won their first three before going 1-2 on a three game road trip losing to Baylor and Missouri on Saturday. Sad numbers for Minnesota as they are 2-6-2 ATS after a SU win and 1-4-1 ATS in last six as underdogs while the Illini are 7-2 ATS after a SU loss. Add that the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and the favorite is 23-9 ATS in the last 32 meetings. Take ILLINOIS! |

Marquette at Creighton 9:00 ET Golden Eagles (+) over Blue Jays- Marquette was short-handed when they fell 69-60 at UCLA Friday night as they had numerous players either out or hampered and used several line-ups had little practice time and committed 18 turnovers. Creighton just destroyed intra-state rival Nebraska using a 30-7 surge leading to a 98-74 victory while forcing 25 turnovers. The Bluejays had an incredible shooting night scoring on 10 straight possessions and hitting 17-of-24 during one stretch while the former 'Warriors' were 4-of-20 from 3-point range against the Bruins including 0-for-11 in the second half.

Nevada at San Diego 9:00 ET Toreros (+) over Wolf Pack- It looks like the oddsmakers have done their homework because San Diego was one of the worst teams in the entire west and were just 2-14 in WCC one of the weakest conferences the country. Nevada has six games under their belts (4-2) while the Toreros are 0-1 having had the pleasure of opening at UCLA and getting crushed shooting under 30%. But, the 'books' opened this one at -3.5 and I believe I understand what they know. San Diego coach Sam Scholl has brought in three NCAA transfers from Missouri, Rice, W. Illinois and Duquesne and they are expected to have a major impact on the program's basketball team. The 'Book's believe it look at that 'number.' Take SAN DIEGO! |

Baltimore at Cleveland 8:15 ET Browns over Ravens- The Browns who haven't been to the playoffs in 17 years had such fanfare and expectations entering their season opener at Baltimore only to receive a reality check as the veteran playoff Ravens destroyed them 38-6. A convincing win as it was Lamar Jackson who passed for 275 yards and three TD's while the Browns offense scored just once. But after a 5-1 start the 'Black Birds' have lost four of five while Cleveland has won 8-of-10 as Baker Mayfield has held it all together. Browns with best 1-2 punch in the NFL with their running duo of Chubb and Hunt. Take CLEVELAND! |

Maryland (4-1) was handed their first loss at Clemson last time out in their first road game of the year as they scored only 15 points in the first half. Both clubs had stellar season's last year as the Terrapins shared the Big Ten title and the Scarlet Knights won their most conference games in 17 years going 11-9.

Pittsburgh at Buffalo 8:20 ET Steelers (+) over Bills- I know how impressive the Bills looked the Monday night dominating San Francisco and how lackluster Pittsburgh looked in losing their first game to Washington after getting out to a 14-0 lead before starting to take things during the game for granted and blowing numerous opportunities. Part of the problem for the Steelers was the lack of a running game as they ran for just 21 yards last week and just 68 the week before against the Ravens. James Conner who missed the last two games will return and help make the difference and Big Ben's pride will outshine Josh Allen. Take PITTSBURGH! |

New Orleans at Philadelphia 4:25 ET Eagles (+) over Saints- This is the most improbable 'side' on the entire board as the Saints have won nine straight and the grounded Eagles are changing quarterbacks. Philadelphia will have Jalen Hurts under center for the first time in his career while Tayson Hill gets his fourth start while Brees' banged up ribs heal. The Eagles are the club of the two that is known for their defense but it is New Orleans that has the No. 2 defense allowing just 288 ypg which plays into the 'Birds' No. 29 offense with 319 ypg. The 'Wild Card' here is Hurts who is not known for his passing (5-12, 109y last week) but will present a different look and hey Carson Wentz had 15 Ints and 3 fumbles and the kicker is that the Saints have already clinched a playoff berth and the have a look-ahead game with Kansas City next week, Take PHILADELPHIA! |

A loss here would make it virtually impossible for them to qualify for the postseason. As it is the Raiders are fortunate to still be alive as their 'hail-Mary' win over the Jets last week may have saved their season if the win here. Vegas has had the issues with injuries and the virus but this week it have five Colts that have missed practice including Philip Rivers. Jon Gruden has brought the Raiders along and will create win havoc on defense to take advantage of 'Philips Floaters' and get at least a pair of picks. Take LAS VEGAS! |

Here we have the New York Football Giants winners of four straight games and probably the hottest team in the NFL (oops Saints have won 9) up against a fading team's who's only win in their last five games came a 'Hail-Mary pass' on the final play against Buffalo when they didn't even attempt the extra-point they have failed to 'cover' the spread. And Arizona is favored at New York! Daniel Jones' Locker returns Sunday and he should give the Giants' 32nd rated offense some sort of lift. He will help, but the Cardinals average 390 ppg and are 9-4-2 ATS on the road scoring 28 ppg while 'Little Blue' is 30th with 19 ppg and are 3-12 ATS as home underdogs. Take ARIZONA! |

Minnesota at Tampa Bay 1:00 ET Vikings (+) over Buccaneers- These two qualify for the final NFL playoff spots with Tampa Bay (7-5) holding on to the sixth spot and Minnesota (6-6) a game behind. The Bucs expected a big boost on offense with the addition of Brady and other weapons but they are still just middle of the pack at 18th with 363 ypg. It has been the Tampa defense that has held them together ranking No.1 against the run and No. 7 overall. The Vikings shine on offense with 390 ypg and just under 150 rushing yards and will match the Bucs rushing defense with Delvin Cook who has 1135 yards at 5.0 an attempt. These two match-up right and it should come down to a one possession game. Take MINNESOTA! |

So, here are the 4-8 Texans -2.5 at Chicago favored against the 5-7 Bears who have dropped six straight. These teams are so bad and so evenly matched with Houston having the No. 30 defense allowing 406 ypg while the Bears offense is also ranked 30th with just 312 ypg. The Texans offense averages 364 ypg while Chicago allows 354 ypg. So, why even take a side when they both suck.

The unranked Tigers are 4-0 and are off to their best start in seven years. This should be an inside as the Illini have a strong middle with 7-0 Kofi Cockburn and 6-9 Giorgi Bezhanishnili while Mizzou will kill you with a trio of guards that average between 13.5 and 17.2 points apiece.

Oregon has won three straight since their opening loss to Missouri while Washington managed their first win 73-41 over Seattle after three straight road defeats. The Ducks have won and covered 6-of-7 meetings including the last three. The Huskies who have horrid ATS trends are beaming with confidence with Kentucky guard transfer Quade Green leading the way.

USC at UCLA 7:30 ET Bruins (+) over Trojans- If this game was at a different time or day it might be my best of the day. USC was a winner for us last Sunday as the bolted out to a 28-0 1st quarter lead over Washington State and just stopped playing putting it on cruise control the rest of the way. The Trojans are once again the media darlings of the Pac-12 and are always overrated and on the other side of the coin the Bruins feel slighted. USC has had COVID issues and with this game at the empty Rose Bowl UCLA will let their offense do it's thing averaging 36 points and 431 yyg. Take U.C.L.A.! |

Last season Utah cut the margin by winning in overtime 102-95 but I doubt that a high scoring game like that will occur this time around as both clubs have offensive issues. But, none worse than the Cougars who shot 27% against USC and when scoreless the first 9:39 of the game against Boise State. Low prices gives Utes a solid chance. Take UTAH! |

Chip Shot Winner Utah at Colorado 12:00 Noon ET Utes (+) over Buffaloes- I 'saw' Colorado beat Arizona last week and I also saw them defeat UCLA in their opener and I am impressed with what their first year coach Ken Dorrell has done. Colorado is an unexpected 4-0 and has moved to No. 21 in the AP and yet are a meager favorite against a 1-2 Utah team. The Utes are 0-3 ATS as they surrendered two TD's in the final minutes at reduce a 20-point lead down to a non-covering six (30-24). This 'price' is way too cheap when comparing season records. Something's just not right...Take UTAH! |

The Cornhuskers are a young them that is getting better and gaining momentum but this number having them favored by double-digits peaks my interest. They have been favored just one other time this season against Illinois (-17) and the4y failed miserably losing 41-23 outright. Minnesota is coming off a win of their own over Purdue 34-31 at home but that was three weeks ago as the virus has affected their schedule.

Heavy Hitter Michigan State at Penn State 12:00 Noon ET Nittany Lions (-) over Spartans- If things aren't confusing enough with teams looking to reschedule games or just bring in available opponents now when the have a match-up they change the venue and even starting times after scheduled announcements. So beware, this game is at Noon ET. That's not going to help Michigan State who may be 2-4 but are dreadful and while Penn State is 2-5 they have gained their sea-legs so to speak with wins over Michigan and Rutgers and believe it or not out-gained six of their seven opponents and are a Plus-90 ypg. The Spartans on the other hand are minus-85 ypg. The Penn State defense should shut down any offense MSU might try to muster as the Lions roar and atone for their m0-5 start. Take the NITTANY LIONS! |

12-11-20 | Nevada +2 v. San Jose State | 20-30 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 33 m | Show | |
Nevada at San Jose State 10:00 ET Wolf Pack (+) over Spartans- I know a lot about this matchup as the Mountain West Conference has little to brad about but this about be a good one all round. Nevada is 6-1 with their only loss coming at Hawaii 24-21 while San Jose State is 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS and have been unbelievable in MWC play going 16-5-2 ATS. Wolf Pack won last year's meeting 41-38 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five as underdogs. Take NEVADA! |

12-11-20 | Marquette v. UCLA -4.5 | Top | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 20 h 41 m | Show |
Marquette at UCLA 10:00 ET Bruins (-) over 'Once Warriors'- A pair of 4-1 clubs that last met in 1964 when both side were coached by legends of their day and Hall of Fame members UCLA's John Wooden and Marquette's AL McGuire. The 'Legend of Westwood' got his Nat'l Champion Bruins to best (61-52) of the brash New York rookie coach that day, McGuire later captured his NCAA Championship (1977 vs NC), but hey just wanted to say I remember that as Gail Goodrich got the best of Cazzie Russel of Michigan in the 91-80 Finals victory as the star and MVP Bill Bradly led Princeton to the finals. Okay, so what...well the Bruins also defeated Marquette in Dec. 1949 but I was only nine months old and don't remember it but I like the 71-year and two game streak to continue. Take UCLA! PS-I could have written up some scenario but the answer would have been the same...BRUINS! |
|||||||
12-11-20 | Arizona State -11 v. Arizona | Top | 70-7 | Win | 100 | 20 h 31 m | Show |
Arizona State at Arizona 7:00 ET Sun Devils (-) over Wildcats- The best thing about the outcome of this game is that at least one major college football team in the state has a victory. Arizona State (0-2) has played both LA schools losing to USC 28-27 (Trojans scored twice in last minute after on-side kick) and to UCLA 25-18 at home last week. Last week Arizona jumped out to a 13-0 lead against Colorado and with six minutes to go in the second quarter the game was over for the Wildcats as the Buffaloes went 24-0 the rest of the way and were never threatened. This 'price' is way out of whack for a 'rivalry game' considering the Sun Devils haven't won a game yet...until tonight. Take ARIZONA STATE! |
|||||||
12-11-20 | Villanova v. Georgetown +11.5 | 76-63 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
Villanova at Georgetown 7:00 ET Hoyas (+) over Wildcats- It has been 39 years since these two met on the Georgetown campus as it has always been such a big event it would be played in the city. There is no need to play aware but a gym with fans not allowed to attend so, so much for home court advantage. Despite the loss Villanova has been wildcats on the road 10-2-1 ATS but the home team is 5-0 in the last five meetings. The Hoyas have been up to the task as they play 'up' to their competition as they are 7-2-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records over 60%. Take GEORGETOWN! |
|||||||
12-11-20 | St. John's v. Seton Hall -5.5 | 68-77 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show | |
St. John's at Seton Hall 4:30 ET Pirates (-) over Red Breeze- St. John's enters this Big East contest 5-1 while the hosting Pirates are 3-3 but have played much tougher competition. Seton Hall was beaten by Louisville, Rhode Island and Oregon with a win over Penn State. It's been a long time since the 'Storm' has been in contention in the Big East and they are 5-11-1 ATS when playing against teams with winning home records, while the home team is 22-8 ATS in the last 30 meetings. Number might seem a bit high but it is probably for good reason. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-10-20 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech +7 | 34-20 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 3 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech 7:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Panthers- Pitt has had the best of this series of late as they have won four of the last five including last year's 20-10 win in Atlanta but are off a drubbing by No. 4 Clemson two weeks ago 52-17 and they are 4-0 ATS after a bye week. Georgia Tech meanwhile, was beaten by NC State 23-13 and fell to 3-6 on the season. Yellow Jackets are 5-2 ATS after a loss and the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Final chance for the Panthers to finish win a winning record and they only have to do it by less than a touchdown. Take GEORGIA TECH! |
|||||||
12-09-20 | Indiana +3.5 v. Florida State | 67-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Indiana at Florida State 7:25 ET Hoosiers (+) over Seminoles- The Hoosiers opened the season with a pair of impressive 30 and 21 points wins and then ran into Texas and were blown out by 22 points. But, they rebounded after their loss the following contest taking down Stanford 70-63 and showing character as a unit. No. 20 Florida State is 1-0 with an 86-58 rout of North Florida 86-58 as the team that finished 26-5 last season adjusts to three new starters with two going No. 4 and 11 in the NBA draft. With too many newcomers and only one game under their belts the Seminoles are at a disadvantage. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
12-09-20 | Furman +4 v. Cincinnati | 73-78 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 49 m | Show | |
Furman at Cincinnati 5:00 ET Paladins (+) over Bearcats- Well, after winning their first four games at home by 33, 28, 40 and 24 points Furman will be up against some real competition at Cincinnati and they are looking to prove that they are up to the task. The Bearcats fell short against rival Xavier as they faltered down the stretch Sunday dropping to 1-1 and will be playing their third straight home game. Cincy is 1-9 ATS in their last nine overall and 17-36 in their last 53 games overall. The Paladins are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 21-9-1 ATS after winning by 20 or more points... Take FURMAN! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Penn State +5.5 v. Virginia Tech | 75-55 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Penn State at Virginia Tech 9:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Hokies- No. 19 Virginia Tech (45-0) already has some impressive victories including a 81-73 OT win over No. 3 Villanova while Penn State (2-1) was on their way to their third straight home win leading Seton Hall 29-10 and then dropped the game in overtime after leading for 39 minutes and 32 seconds (really) and led by eight with two minutes to go. Hokies with try and keep the tempo down while State will look to run the floor. This is the first road game for the Lions but they will play to the final buzzer tonight. Take PENN STATE! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Cowboys +9.5 v. Ravens | 17-34 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Dallas at Baltimore 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Ravens- The Ravens who have had to deal with the virus have dropped three straight and 4-of-5 while Dallas has lost 5-of-6 and 7-of-9. This game on paper does not set up well for the Cowboys who are dead last in NFL rushing defense while the Ravens are No. 2 in rushing averaging 158 YPG as well as last in points allowed with 32.6. Part of Big 'D's problem is that are also last in take-aways in the season with a league low of just nine also allowing 24 TD passes with just 4 Int's. Having played last on Thanksgiving (if you can call that 'playing') and have had 12-days to prepare and they need it. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Ohio State v. Notre Dame +6 | Top | 90-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
Ohio State at Notre Dame 7:30 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Buckeyes- No. 23 Ohio State (3-0) has had the pleasure of beating up on three clubs at home where they were favored by a combined 71.5-points and they won all three by 71-points going 2-1 ATS. For Notre Dame it hasn't been so nice as they opened against No. 8 Michigan State and lost by 10 and then defeated Detroit-Mercy by eight and are 0-2. Both teams have four starters averaging double-digits with Prentiss Hubb of the Fighting Irish leading all scores with 23-ppg. Each club is dealing with injuries and the 'Shamrockers' are down to eight scholarship players. Buckeyes playing their first game on the road and against quality competition may well struggle here. You can only play with five at a time anyway...take NOTRE DAME! |
|||||||
12-08-20 | Creighton +4 v. Kansas | 72-73 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
Creighton at Kansas 5:00 ET BlueJays (+) over Jayhawks- No. 7 Creighton (3-0) travels to Lawrence to takes on No. 5 Kansas (4-1) is what should be a well played well coached college basketball games and well worth watching. The Bluejays were favored by 81.5-points and played 8-points under the 'number' going 1-2 ATS. This being Creighton first road game may raise some concern but there are no fans in attendance and this is a 'national' game for them with more significance and they are 7-1 ATS last-8 against teams winning records over .600. Take CREIGHTON! |
|||||||
12-07-20 | Bills v. 49ers +1 | Top | 34-24 | Loss | -118 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
Buffalo vs San Francisco (at Glendale, AZ) 49ers over Bills- As most are aware this game has been shifted to Arizona as COVID has forced the move from California. Buffalo has won four of five with the lone loss coming on this field against the Cardinals when a 'Hail-Mary' pass handed them their only defeat. The Bills who were the same 8-3 a year ago went 2-3 their final five games while many have to be reminded that the 49ers were in the Super Bowl last season. SF is getting healthy as players return and the Bills face the undefeated (as of now) Steelers next week. That SAN FRANCISCO! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Seton Hall +2.5 v. Penn State | Top | 98-92 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
Seton Hall at Penn State 8:00 ET Pirates (+) over Nittany Lions- After opening with a 71-70 loss at Louisville, Seton Hall bounced back to win their first of the season against Rick Pitino and Iona but have dropped a pair since losing bat Rhode Island and to No. 21 Oregon in Omaha, NE. But, the Pirates are 51-25 ATS in their last 76 games as road underdogs while Penn State is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and as favorites. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Washington State v. USC -11 | 13-38 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Washington State at USC 7:30 ET Trojans (-) over Cougars- The way things are playing out Southern Cal looks like the best thing the Pac-12 has to offer as they enter with two wins as heavy favorites who were lucky to survive. Washington State is 1-1 having defeated Oregon State and Losing to Oregon and have allowed 320 yards a game passing. Trojans to exploit that defense (or lack of). Take USC! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Kentucky v. Georgia Tech +6.5 | 62-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Georgia Tech 5:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Wildcats- Both of these clubs are off to rocky starts as No. 10 Kentucky has dropped 2-of-3 while Georgia Tech is still looking for their first victory after losing a pair. The Wildcats at least can claim they were beaten by big name schools in Kansas and Richmond whereas the Yellow Jackets were beaten by Georgia State and Mercer as favorites. Despite their two losses GT is a high scoring group averaging 96.5 points in their losses while the Cats ranked No. 203 averaging just 69 points. Take the points...take GEORGIA TECH! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Browns +5 v. Titans | Top | 41-35 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
Cleveland at Tennessee 1:00 ET Browns (+) over Titans- Very sneaky...watch out for this one. I imagine most will see the Titans as very inviting side with their version of Jim Brown, Derek Henry running with authority over and through defensive backs. Both clubs are 8-3 but appear different in the public eye. This pair are 1 and 2 running the ball with the Browns at 161 rypg and the Titans 158 rypg with Cleveland's passing game lame at No.30 while Tannehill throws for just 227. Titans have turned the ball over just five times a league low but.. It's CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Saints v. Falcons +3 | 21-16 | Loss | -117 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Atlanta 1:00 ETÂ Falcons (+) over Saints- The way I see it Saints 'backers' are loving it when Brees sits! Last year it was Bridgewater going 6-0 ATS and even when Hill gets the start they seem to dominate, especially of late on defense. N.O. has surrendered just 3, 13, 9, and 3 points in their last four games and have the No. 1 defense at 285 ypg and No. 2 Rush 'D' at 76.6 ypg. Atlanta rises as home dogs going 11-4 ATS L-15 and with Raheem Morris at the helm they have won 3 of 4 and 4 of 6 overall. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Colts v. Texans +3.5 | 26-20 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
Indianapolis at Houston 1:00 ET Texans (+) over Colts- How 'bout them inconsistent Colts...they just can seem to string together wins before they throw in an uninspired performance like refusing to step in front of Derek Henry last week as the Titans ran over Indianapolis for 229 yards. Indy is 7-0-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in Houston and 4-0 ATS L-4. While Philip Rivers' TD/Int ratio always an issue it's 16/9 and he still is venerable to the pick-6. Houston defense (if you can call it that) is Ranked No. 30 allowing 410 yards a game and No. 31 in rushing 'D' (154 ypg) and their rushing 'O' (84 ypg) is No.31. Still, the Texans since O'Brien was jettisoned have a winning attitude and record 4-3. The road team is 9-2-2 L-13 dog is 7-3-2 ATS in series. Take the TEXANS! |
|||||||
12-06-20 | Raiders v. Jets +7.5 | 31-28 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Las Vegas at New York Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Raiders- Sure, I have become a Raiders fan but that doesn't mean I will play against my pocketbook. Coach Gruden has this team believing that they can win and they can (they beat KC) but they are not ready yet. Injuries and the virus have hurt chemistry and they might be the only team the Jets can beat...nah! Can't see Vegas not showing up after last weeks performance (43-6) at Atlanta but being they best beware as the Jets become desperate to land a win. Take NY JETS! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Oregon State v. Utah -11 | 24-30 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 59 m | Show | |
Oregon State at Utah 10:30 ET Utes (-) over Beavers- Here it is, an 0-2 team (Utah) is a double-digit favorite against a team that just defeated their arch rivals in the closing seconds. Oregon State just defeated Oregon for just the second time in 13 years 41-38 scoring with :33 left and have been celebrating every since. Utah meanwhile was blowing a 21-0 lead over Washington after having dropped their opener to USC 33-17. South Carolina graduate transfer Jake Bentley leads the Utes offense and they should be in command against this No. 94th ranked defense allowing 443 ypg. Beavers should get trapped but the Utes here...Take UTAH! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Oregon v. California +9 | Top | 17-21 | Win | 100 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
Oregon at California 7:00 ET Golden Bears (+) over Beavers- Both clubs off losses to rivals and yet it probably hurts Oregon more than it does California. True that the Golden Bears (0-3) have yet to win but the Ducks loss surely knocks them and the Pac-12 out of any shot for the FBS. Ducks have won the last three and 10 of the last 11 meetings with the bears lone win at home in 2016. Hey, Herbert is gone and the Ducks spend more time on the ground where Bears have a chance to growl. Cal out-gained Stanford by a 150 yards on the ground while Oregon's putrid defense gives up 457 YPG, 30-points per and have only two forced turnovers while surrendering five. Take CALIFORNIA! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -13 | 14-6 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 8 m | Show | |
Indiana at Wisconsin 3:30 ET Badgers (-) over Hoosiers- They have had their run but the engine main cog has a bad wheel and the Hoosiers feel good season will close on a sad note starting here. Indiana lost their QB Michael Penix Jr. for the year and was the glue on offense. But it's the Hoosiers defense leads the nation in take-a-ways with 18 including 16 int's. Wisconsin is looking to rebound after their loss to Northwestern two weeks ago after a bye last week due to COVID, whenever they get to play they are going to punish their opponent and Indiana is the perfect sacrificial lamb. With the No. 1 defense allowing just 233 ypg they Badgers will dominate the Hoosiers w/o their QB will have difficulty moving the ball. Take BADGERS! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Nebraska +2 v. Purdue | 37-27 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Purdue 12:00 Noon ET Cornhuskers (+) over Boilermakers- Despite their 1-4 record the Cornhuskers have been good to 'us' as we have collected on both their ATS wins and we will again here. Purdue opened the season with a upset win over Iowa although the Hawkeyes out-gained the Boilermakers by a 100 yards and they have been out-gained by every opponent every at Minnesota where they lost anyway. The underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |
|||||||
12-05-20 | Oklahoma State v. TCU +2.5 | 22-29 | Win | 100 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at T.C.U. 12:00 Noon ET Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- Okay State is off a 50-44 OT win over Texas Tech where substitute Dezmond Jackson ran for 235 yards replacing All-American Chuba Hubbard who was out. The funny thing about is was they the Cowboys were out-gained by the Red Raiders by 100 yards and are now 0-4 ATS in their last four. TCU has turned things around after a slow start having won 3-of-4 and have a few trends working in their favor. The home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and the underdogs is 5-0 ATS. But, they are also just 9-24 ATS in their last 33 home games overall. Take HORNED FROGS! |
