10-27-18 | UMass -4.5 v. Connecticut | 22-17 | Win | 100 | 54 h 57 m | Show | |
The Huskies' defense has allowed 651.4 yards per game through Week 8, which ranks No. 129 in college football and Im betting a Minutemen offence that have scored 33.4 points per game this season have the edge here this rainy afternoon.
CONNECTICUT is 1-10 ATS in non-conference games over the last 3 seasons. CFB home team (CONNECTICUT) - good rushing team - averaging 4.75 or more rushing yards/carry, after allowing 6.5 or more rushing yards/attempt in 2 straight games are 4-25 ATS L/10 seasons for a go against 86% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

10-27-18 | Army +1 v. Eastern Michigan | 37-22 | Win | 100 | 50 h 1 m | Show | |
Army is the real deal, behind top tier HC Monken and even with starting QB Kelvin Hopkins out last week with an injury they took out a pretty good Miami O side 31-30 in OT. Now against another MAC team E.Michigan, I like their chances in what the lines makers expect will be a close game even if Hopkins is out again, as Sophomore Cam Thomas is more than able to guide this over powering West Point running attack . It must be noted that the Black Knights own the nation’s 2nd ranked ground attack averaging (318 YPG) and have a big time edge vs the Eagles’ key weakness which is their 111th ranked rush defense (216 YPG) . ARMY is 6-0 ATS in road games after gaining 275 or more rushing yards last game over the last 2 seasons. CFB home team (E MICHIGAN) - after allowing 225 or more rushing yards in 2 straight games against opponent after gaining 225 or more rushing yards in 2 straight games are 3-25 ATS L/5 seasons for a 89% go against conversion rate for bettors. CFB favorites (ARMY) - team outrushing opponents by 50+ YPG against a team who is outrushed by 50+ YPG, after outrushing opponent by 100 or more yards in 3 straight games are 28-5 L/5 seasons for a 85% conversion rate for bettors.

10-27-18 | Vanderbilt v. Arkansas +1.5 | 45-31 | Loss | -106 | 30 h 45 m | Show | |
Since their loss to North Texas this rebuilding Arkansas football program has slowly become more competitive. This group is very closely knit, and the entire state of Arkansas is behind them here this week, in what is a winnable game, especially with QB Ty Storey expected back under centre. The Razorbacks have covered 4 straight for their backers, and once again look like a solid proposition here on their own field to cash a ticket for their supporters vs a Vanderbilt team that is last in the nation in red zone conversion rate. Vanderbilt is also s ugly 2-16 ATS L/18 in SEC road games. Mason is 0-7 ATS vs. excellent punt return teams, more than 12 yards per return as the coach of VANDERBILT. Play on Arkansas to cover |

10-27-18 | Wake Forest +3 v. Louisville | 56-35 | Win | 100 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
Louisville enters this game struggling mightily averaging just 20.4 points per game, while allowing 33.4 per game on defense and allowing opposition offences to roll over them and gain an average 416.1 yards of total per game. I know Wake Forest is not much better defensively, but they can score more consistently and that will be the difference maker this eek, in a game that the Daemon Deacons have the ability to win straight up. LOUISVILLE is 0-6 ATS versus good rushing teams - averaging 200 or more rushing yards/game over the last 3 seasons. WAKE FOREST is 22-9 ATS in road games after having lost 3 out of their last 4 games. CFB teams where the line is +3 to -3 (LOUISVILLE) - with a terrible rushing D - allowing 225 or more rushing yards/game, after gaining 125 or less rushing yards in 2 straight games are just 5-28 ATS L/10 seasons for a go against 85% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

10-26-18 | Utah v. UCLA +10.5 | 41-10 | Loss | -105 | 54 h 17 m | Show | |
Utes, enter this game on fire as they are on a 3-0 run and scoring 40 or more points in each of those contests. I don't know where this offensive explosion has come from, but I'm betting after the emotion involved in putting the pedal to the metal in 4 straight games starting with Washington State, which was their only loss, will now see them in a emotional letdown down spot that could easily mute their output and attack, especially after mounting that massive comeback vs uSC last week. I know Chip Kelleys UCLA may not inspire bettors, but they are getting better, and have won two straight games and have the talent base to make a game of this. UCLA is 14-3 ATS L/17 at home as a 6 point dog or more. CFB Road favorites (UTAH) - good offensive team (5.6 to 6.2 YPP) against an average defense (4.8 to 5.6 YPP) after 7+ games, after gaining 450 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games are 3-24 ATS L/27 seasons for a 86% go against conversion rate.

10-26-18 | Wizards -5 v. Kings | 112-116 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
The Kings won last time out and played good defence in a winning 97-92 effort vs Memphis, but previous to that the Kings allowed their first four opponents to average 129.5 points . Meanwhile, the visiting Washington Wizards are playing all out take no prisoners run and gun basketball, and have an edge playing that type of ball vs a team like Sacramento according to my power rankings. It looks like a laying a little lumber on the road, here in the early part of the season, is worth the roll, considering how wide open a lot of NBA games have been this season. This league like a lot of others is changing towards high scoring entertainment. Key word entertainment, and I must make myself aware of this and think and reaches my handicapping techniques on the fly. Used to be a time when laying lumber with a team with the Wizards would not be a option for me, but now, at least for now, until the smoke clears, and a steady stream of stats becomes accessible and plausible I'm saying Lay it folks. Road favorites of -165 to -500 vs. the money line (WASHINGTON) - after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game against opponent after going over the total by 36 or more points total in their last five games are 33-1SU and 17-0 L/3 seasons with the average margin of victory coming by an average of 12.9 ppg. NBARoad favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (WASHINGTON) - after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game against opponent after going over the total by 42 or more points total in their last five games are 22-4 ATS L/5 seasons for a 85% conversion rate for bettors. |

10-26-18 | Indiana v. Minnesota +2.5 | 31-38 | Win | 100 | 56 h 47 m | Show | |
This tilt between Minnesota and Indiana will settle which one of these teams will get a lower tier Bowl invite. Both these teams enter this game expected to play with back up QBs. But I like PJ Fleck at home, and dislike Indiana's consistent inability to find any kind of groove since starting their season 3-0. They did play Penn State tough last week, losing by just 5 points and actually out gaining the Lions, but it must be noted that INDIANA is 8-38 ATS after outgaining opp by 125 or more total yards in their previous game . Also the Hoosiers inconsistent attack has even had difficulties vs teams with porous defences . Note:INDIANA is 0-8 ATS vs. struggling passing defenses - allowing a comp. pct. of 58% or worse over the last 3 seasons. INDIANA is 2-9 ATS when the total is between 49.5 and 56 over the last 2 seasons. Minnesota is 6-1 ATS L/7 meetings overall. Play on Minnesota to cover |

10-26-18 | Jets -1.5 v. Red Wings | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
The very physical Winnipeg Jets will be a little cranky after a 4-2 home loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at home the other night, and will now be ready to take their frustrations out a rebuilding Red Wings team. The Red Wings have not enjoyed home ice advantage this season and are 0-2-1 at Little Caesar’s Arena . From a ATS perspective they have also been ugly bets failing to cash 8 of 9 times including 0-3 ATS as hosts. This is not a good opportunity for this young team to try to break out of their funk, and instead a lesson in NHL hockey analytics could well be at hand. Play on the Winnipeg Jets on the -1.5 puck -line |

10-26-18 | Miami-FL v. Boston College +3.5 | 14-27 | Win | 100 | 51 h 57 m | Show | |
Mimai Fl despite of their talent just can't seem to get over the hump. Last season they failed down the stretch and now in their last game lost to Virginia 16-13 , behind a duo of QBs that just don't have a lot of flow right now, and its rubbing off on the team as a whole. I don't know if its because of the Canes tough training/practices or what it is , but this team looks pooched for the 2nd straight season. As a matter of fact a disturbing trend seems to be telling a repeat story, as Richt is 2-9 ATS L/11 in October games as the coach of MIAMI. Richt is also 0-6 ATS L/6 in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread as the coach of MIAMI and is 8-21 ATS after scoring 14 points or less last game in all games he has coached since 1992 Meanwhile,BOSTON COLLEGE is 9-1 ATS against conference opponents over the last 2 seasons and is 7-0 ATS after playing a game at home over the last 2 seasons and is 6-0 ATS in October games over the last 2 seasons. Im betting Boston College has a better chance to win then the public has decided, as the opening line was BC -1, and is now at 3.5. Im betting the lines makers were right in their opening assessments and if Im wrong, Im still betting the Eagles make a game of this and get us a cover. Play on Boston College to cover |

10-26-18 | Louisiana Tech +3.5 v. Florida Atlantic | 21-13 | Win | 100 | 59 h 58 m | Show | |
Florida Atlantic enters this game as a wobbly home favorite, vs a LA Tech team that could easily upset them SU here tonight. Florida Atlantics HC Lane Kiffin has been making some questionable decisions this season, that have not paid dividends, and the team as a whole just don't look cohesive especially on defence and have been outscored 90-35 in the fourth quarter this season . Yes, the Owls do have a top tier QB in Chris Robison but he was hobbled last game, and if he plays will be less than 100% this week and on defence are still trying to mask the fact they are playing without their all time leading tackler, LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who is injured. Florida Atlantic smashed Louisiana Tech last season the road by a , 48-23 count and now big time ugly revenge is on board. FLA ATLANTIC is 2-12 ATS in home games after failing to cover the spread in 2 out of their last 3 games since 1992.Holtz is 12-3 ATS as a road underdog of 7 points or less in all games he has coached since 1992.LOUISIANA TECH is 6-0 ATS in road games after a game where they forced 1 or less turnovers over the last 2 seasons. Holtz is a perfect 6-0 ATS as road dog in his career vs a sub .500 opponent like FAU. CFBroad team vs. the money line (LOUISIANA TECH) - a good offensive team (28-34 PPG) against a horrible defensive team (34 PPG or more), after scoring 20 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games are 37-6 L/27 seasons for a 86% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

10-25-18 | Nuggets -3 v. Lakers | 114-121 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets are playing top tier basketball to start their season, as is evident by their 4-0 record behind a defence that is allowing just 99.8 ppg. The Nuggets are just one of two teams keeping opponents under the century mark the other is the Celtics. So needless to say they deserve our respect, and the lines makers agree with the obvious assessments. Meanwhile, the Lakers look disorientated and banged up recording a 1-3 record, after getting their first win vs the Suns last time out. The Nuggets have already won at Staples Center this season, recording a 107-98 victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Oct. 17. They followed that win up by sweeping a three-game homestand, including a middle game victory against the Golden State Warriors, the defending NBA champions. I know LeBron James is a dangerous component to have to face in enemy territory but in their current form the Nuggets looks capable of doing so in a positive fashion. Im not a big proponent of road chalk, at above 3.5 points , but this line looks beatable and thus Ill recommend we take the matchup edge and lay the short lumber. NBA Road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (DENVER) - after a cover as a double digit favorite against opponent after a road game where both teams score 100 or more points are 38-12 ATS L/22 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors. NBAHome underdogs vs. the money line (LA LAKERS) - after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half are 30-95 SU L/22 seasons for a 76% conversion rate SU with he point differential clicking in at 5.1 ppg.

10-25-18 | Appalachian State v. Georgia Southern +9.5 | 14-34 | Win | 100 | 35 h 14 m | Show | |
These two teams are vying for first place in the Sunbelt eastern division. Appalachian State has for a long time had a respected football program, and right now their on the fast track for a decent bowl invitation. Meanwhile, Georgia Southern despite of not getting the same accolades is no pushover and just like their opponents only have one loss on the season. Georgia Southern lost to power house Alabama, and Appalachian State to Penn State in OT. What Im betting happens tonight, is that Georgia Southern will use their No. 5 overall ground game that cranks out 276 RYPG average to hammer away all night on App States defense , while the absence of the Mountaineers top tier RB Jason Moore will be felt as they won't be able to respond with the same type of option attack. I don't know if Georgia Southern can come out of this with a win, but they will make a game of it here on their own home turf. Thus making getting points golden opportunity to cash a ticket.Lunsford is a perfect 6-0 ATS in games played on a grass field as the coach of GA SOUTHERN. Play on Georgia Southern to cover |

10-25-18 | Ball State v. Ohio -10.5 | 14-52 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Both these teams are in 3rd place in their MAC divisions, but Ohio according to my rankings is the much better team, especially here on their own home field where they have averaged 48.3 ppg behind an explosive offense. Meanwhile, Ball State is scoring an average of just 16.7 ppg on the road and just don't have the guns to compete here 9 out of 10 times. With that said, those look like viable odds for me to sink my teeth into . Also Ball State D is going down hill fast as they have allowed seasons highs in yards allowed in 4 of their L/5 overall, not a good omen coming in against this type of opponent.Neu is 0-6 ATS after scoring 7 points or less in the first half in 2 straight games as the coach of BALL ST ( Ball State 15.7 Opp 41.7) I know the line looks like a hook attempt here by the lines makers, but their value right uo and into the 13.5 point range according to my projections so I feel confident of laying odd numbered lumber here.

10-24-18 | Grizzlies v. Kings +3 | 92-97 | Win | 100 | 13 h 12 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies are off a dismal season , garnering 60 losses , but with the often injured Conely back in the lineup they looked good in their two-game Western swing pulling off a a 92-84 upset victory at Utah on Monday night. Despite of the Grizzlies impressive win, Im not going to get to caught up in that early season performance, and instead focus on their overall makeup. Yes, the Grizzlies have some talent, but their are some flaws as well, as was thecae in a ugly DD loss to Indian in their season opener, and Im not ready to accept them as road favs just yet, especially vs a under rated Sacramento team that deserves respect after taking out Oklahoma City 131-120 in their 3rd game of the season. Look for former Grizzlies castoff veteran Zach Randolph to be pumped to play his old team today and show them that he still has some gas left in the tank. I like the Kings to cover here and won't be surprised if they grab a SU win. MEMPHIS is 18-34 ATS when playing only their 2nd game in 5 days over the last 3 seasons. SACRAMENTO is 31-14 ATS L/45 in home games versus excellent foul drawing teams - attempting 30 or more free throws/game. NBA team vs the money line (MEMPHIS) - after 2 or more consecutive wins, first 6 games of the season, after closing out last season poorly with 15+ losses in last 20 games are 9-33 L/22 seasons for a go against 79% conversion rate for bettors with a a point differential clicking at 7 ppg. NBA Favorites (MEMPHIS) - bad team from last season who won only 25% to 40% of their games are just 13-33 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against 72% conversion rate for bettors.

10-24-18 | Knicks +8.5 v. Heat | 87-110 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Tonight we have two banged up teams with a boatload full of injuries. From a matchup perspective from who is expected to play tonight, I like the Knicks group to be able to cover the number behind leading scorer Tim Hardaway Jr. (27.0), and very under rated Knicks center Enes Kanter who is averaging a double-double (19.0 points, 12.3 rebounds), and speedy point guard Trey Burke who leads the Knicks in assists (5.3) and ranks third in scoring (13.3). NYK have covered 3 of their L/4 meetings in Miami and get the nod again in this spot. NBA ome favorites (MIAMI) - up-tempo team averaging from last season 83 or more shots/game, after 2 straight games making 9 or more 3 point shots are 30-60 ATS L/22 seasons. NBA team vs the money line (MIAMI) - terrible shooting team (41.5% or less ) against an average defensive team (43.5-45.5%), average ball handling team (14.5-16.5 TO's) against a good pressure defensive team (16.5 TO's or more ) are 35-85 SU L/22 seasons for a go against 71% conversion rate for bettors with he average point differential clicking in at 5.8 ppg.

10-24-18 | Mavs v. Hawks +2 | 104-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Atlanta and their high-scoring rookie Trae Young prepare to play their first home game of the season at State Farm Arena when the Atlanta Hawks host the Dallas Mavericks this Wednesday. The Mavericks (2-1) have won two straight games, with rookie Luka Doncic averaging 18.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists, but things won't come so easily here on the road vs a Hawks team that owns a 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings against the Mavericks. I know both sides have different cogs in their line now, but my early season power rankings suggest the Hawks must not be underestimated on their own home floor. Both have taken part in some high scoring affairs as has been common place earlier this season, but from a stats chart I keep on possession time/pace and shot percentage performance I like the Hawks in this spot. Dallas : PTS/G: 118.3 (9th of 30) Opp PTS/G: 122.0 (25th of 30) SRS: -13.63 (28th of 30) Pace: 100.2 (20th of 30) Off Rtg: 118.1 (4th of 30) Def Rtg: 121.8 (28th of 30) Atlanta : PTS/G: 119.0 (6th of 30) Opp PTS/G: 122.7 (26th of 30) SRS: -10.14 (26th of 30) Pace: 108.4 (1st of 30) Off Rtg: 109.8 (16th of 30) Def Rtg: 113.1 (20th of 30) DALLAS is 2-12 ATS on the road when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 3 seasons DALLAS is 2-12 ATS versus struggling defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game over the last 2 seasons and is 8-19 ATS versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game over the last 3 seasons. NBA Favorites (DALLAS) - bad team from last season who won only 25% to 40% of their games are just 13-33 ATS L/5 seasons for a 72% go against conversion are for bettors. NBAteam vs the money line (DALLAS) - after 2 or more consecutive wins, first 6 games of the season, after closing out last season poorly with 12+ losses in last 15 games are 3-24 L/22 seasons for a 85% go against conversion rate for bettors.

10-23-18 | Clippers v. Pelicans -6.5 | 109-116 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
The Pelicans are looking explosive out of the gate to start their season, and are off back to back DD blowout wins. They have also been money makers for their backers since late last season cashing 14 of their L/16 games overall and have been good bets at home cashing 11 of their L/14 ( NO 115 Opp 107.1) Needless to say this an explosive team that must be respected. Meanwhile, the Clippers 2-1 after starting their season with three straight home games now go on the road and I'm betting won't find the bayou atmosphere so welcoming. I admit the Clippers have looked cohesive despite of going through a retooling process , and can't be discounted as viable opponent, but Im betting they will be over matched here vs a Pelicans team that plays a break neck pace. NBA Road teams vs. the money line (LA CLIPPERS) - after a win by 6 points or less against opponent after 2 straight blowout wins by 15 points or more are 17-86 L/22 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 84% SU with the average point differential clicking in at 9.1 ppg.

The 1-5 New York Giants enter this Monday night game reeling have lost three games in a row, giving up more than 30 points in all three and offer up an opportunity for the Falcons to notch their second win in a row . During the Gmens three-game losing streak, Giants quarterback Eli Manning has as many interceptions as touchdown passes, recording three of each. He has been sacked 20 times this season. Meanwhile, Atlanta QB Ryan is picking up the pace of late, as is evident by his 354 passing yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions against Tampa Bay, which has increased his total to 12 touchdown passes with no picks over the past four games. He must be licking his chops anticipation of facing a team that has only 7 sacks on the season ranking last in the league. Look for Ryan and star Wide Receiver Julio Jones to hookup for mucho yards and TDs this week on their way to a what Im betting will be a convincing win and cover . NY GIANTS are 3-11 ATS in games played on turf over the last 2 seasons. The Giants are 0-9 /SU ATS failing to cover by an average of more than 10 ppg as a non-divisional dog on Monday night.

This is a back to back situation for the Rockets after a physically gruelling battle that resulted in a win vs the LA Lakers last night , and they could easily find themselves deflated and tired as they deal with a under rated LA Clippers group that is off a win vs Oklahoma City on the 19th.
The Rockets Chris Paul in his return to LA found himself in a fight with Rajon Rondo, as that game vs LeBron James Lakers was pretty intense for a regular season tilt. With that said , I now feel the Clippers have an edge here on their own home floor. Rockets are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 vs. NBA Pacific.Rockets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.Rockets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.Clippers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

These 2-0 teams will go head to head tonight in the mile high city, with Denver Im betting having an edge on the line and could easily pullout the SU upset. Golden State has already played hard fought games vs Oklahoma State and Utah, and could have problems up here in the thin air of the Rockies as this game progresses after those two previous physical battles. I know Denver played last night, but their a very well conditioned team, and won't have any problems keeping up here . GOLDEN STATE is 29-42 ATS after 1 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons. The Nuggets beat the two-time champs twice last year, and have beaten Golden State five times in the Steve Kerr era. Several Warriors have a history of struggling at Denver, including Durant, who has made just 36 of 106 (34.0 percent) 3-pointers in 19 career games at Denver, and Klay Thompson, who has never score more than 21 points in any of his 11 visits to the Pepsi Center. NBA Home teams vs. the money line (DENVER) - after a cover as a double digit favorite against opponent after a road game where both teams score 100 or more points are 34-5 L/5 seasons for a 87% SU conversion rate making this viable trend when looking at an ATS edge.

This is a long time rivalry that has seem the 49ers cash 5 straight times. I know the Rams are the better overall team, but Im expecting this to be a lot closer than the lines makers estimate according to my own head to head power ranking stats. It must be noted that perfect 6-0 NFL chalk like the LA Rams are 1-7 ATS in Game Seven of the season over the last nine campaigns. The Rams are 0-8 ATS off a game as a favorite in which they had at least 3 more penalties than their season-to-date average which happened last week. LA RAMS is 1-9 ATS L/10 in road games after gaining 200 or more rushing yards last game . The Rams are 0-6 ATS on the road facing an opponent that is off two con-secutive losses like SF.

New Orleans explosive offence will Im betting not be so explosive this week against a staunch Baltimore D off a shutout last time out vs the Tennessee Titans by a 21-0 count. In fact the Ravens D has allowed a total of 40 points in their L/4 games (10 ppg). Ravens are 5-1 SU/ATS L/5 meetings. NEW ORLEANS is 7-20 ATS L/27 against AFC North division opponents.NEW ORLEANS is 4-15 ATS in road games after scoring 25 points or more in 3 straight games since 1992.

The much improved Chicago Bears go against a New England Pats team that could find themselves in an emotional letdown spot after a behemoth back forth battle with the KC Chiefs last Sunday night that saw them win on a late FG 43-40. I know Tom Brady and company are explosive offensively but the Bears have held opponents to 19.2 ppg this season and must be respected as home dogs in their current form. I know the Bears last time out, but it must be noted that Chicago is 11-2 ATS at home against AFC East opposition coming off a victory, including 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS when the Bears are coming off a loss. Today Im betting the difference maker will come via the Bears ground attack that averaged 4.4 ypc vs a shaky Pats D, that is allowing 4.5 ypc. CHICAGO is 9-1 ATS as a home underdog over the last 3 seasons.CHICAGO is 6-0 ATS in home games in the first half of the season over the last 2 seasons. NFL Underdogs or pick (CHICAGO) - off an upset loss as a road favorite, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 42-17 ATS L/10 seasons for a 75% for conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

10-21-18 | Panthers +5.5 v. Eagles | 21-17 | Win | 100 | 5 h 24 m | Show | |
The Panthers are off a dismal game last time out vs the Redskins, but they have shown a lot of inconsistencies over the last couple of seasons despite of being a talented group, and now Im betting they rebound. It must be noted Carolina is a perfect 10-0 ATS since Ron Rivera became their head coach in 2011 as a dog off a SU and ATS loss as a visitor, covering by an average of 16 ppg and 21-3 ATS overall off a road loss. Also in that last game, they got away from their strength which is the run game. But the Panthers have proven resilient after those types of off efforts going a bankroll expanding 15-0 ATS on a natural surface off away loss when their ground attack gained less than 185 yards and they are averaging more than 4.35 yards per rush season-to-date. From. A league wide data base NFL Underdogs or pick (CAROLINA) - off an upset loss as a road favorite, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 36-12 ATS in their followup rebound since 1983. Meanwhile, the Eagles despite of winning and playing better of late, are a team that has shown a propensity to fail against teams like Carolina who are struggling defensively at least from a ATS perspective, as they 0-8 ATS versus struggling defensive teams - allowing 6 or more yards/play over the last 3 seasons.

10-21-18 | Lions v. Dolphins +3 | 32-21 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 57 m | Show | |
The Dolphins, who are 4-2 and are tied with the New England Patriots for the top spot in the AFC East, will be hosting a Lions defense that has given up an average of 27.4 points per game, which ranks 25th in the NFL. Which in my humble betting opinion does not make the Lions very reliable road favs in this spot according to statistical algorithms. The key Defensive lapses have come against opposition ground attacks, as the Lions rank 30th against the run, giving up 145.8 yards per game and 5.3 yards per carry. This Im betting favours Fins running backs Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake who are proving them selves viable cogs in thisDolphin offensive scheme. I know super millionaire QB Matt Stafford is a t the helm of a offence that scores bunches, but Miami is efficient in the red zone and has stopped six of 11 third- or fourth-and-1 runs and could easily stop the Lions on key situations as they game progresses and making them a strong choice getting points as home dogs. MIAMI is 6-0 ATS after allowing 3 points or less in the first half last game over the last 2 seasons.DETROIT is 9-26 ATS as a road favorite of 7 points or less since 1992. .Note:The Dolphins are 11-0 ATS SU on a natural surface when they are off a FG-plus win in which they threw at least one interception and they are facing a team that has thrown the ball on 56%-plus of their plays season-to-date.

Wembley Stadium - London, England Hate to be completely simplistic with my approach to this game, but what we have here is a team in the Chargers currently hitting on all cylinders and off three straight wins and other team the Titans on a two game losing streak, behind a offence that was shutout last week, and that has put 9, 12 points on the board in 2 of their previous three games. The Titans QB Mariota who had shown so much promise in the past has slowly begun to fizzle behind HC Vrabels conservative methodical system, and looks at times disinterested and just going through the motions. Thats not a good mind set to be in when going against an explosive up trending team like the Chargers. LA CHARGERS is 29-4 ATS against AFC South division opponents since 1992.TENNESSEE is 8-22 ATS in road games after 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread since 1992. TENNESSEE is 15-35 ATS L/50 vs. excellent passing teams averaging 260 or more passing yards/game Tennessee is 0-15 ATS L/15 vs a side like the Chargers that has won each of their last two games by at least six points and covered them both. San Diego is 16-0 ATS L/16 on natural surface vs a non-divisional opponent like the Titans that has averaged more than one turnover per game and less than 70% completions and had suffered a positive takeaway margin in each of their last two games.

10-20-18 | Arizona +8 v. UCLA | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 63 h 51 m | Show | |
UCLA finally got a win last week, after starting their season at 0-5. They beat what looked to be a sleepy California Bears team who was overlooking them by a a 37-7 count. Now they are magically being made more than TD favorite at home , in part because the hobbling and limping Khalil Tate is out with an ankle injury . Which in my opinion contrary to mainstream thought is actually a good thing. Better to have a 100% healthy 2nd string QB ( Rodriguez) than a banged up pivot who depends on his mobility to to look as good as he does.Rodriguez, the son of former Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez, completed 20 of 38 passes for 226 yards coming off the bench vs Utah last week and a completed touchdown and should be even more fluent this week. It must be noted that UCLA is just 1-8 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points over the last 3 seasons so they are from viable chalk bets . UCLA is also just 2-10 ATS in games when coming off a victory over the last three years and are also a ugly 0-12 ATS when coming off a double-digit win the last four seasons. UCLA is 3-13 ATS when playing against a marginal losing team (Win Pct. 40% to 49%) since 1992. These are some nasty numbers, and Im still not sold on Chip Kelleys Bruins quite yet, and feel its to soon to be laying TD or more chalk in a conference game vs a team that matches up well against them according to my power rankings.

Tonight Dallas has their home opener against a very good Minnesota team, but Im betting they will be up to the task off being very competitive and getting us the cover even though their without Harrison Barnes. I'm also not reading to much into their loss vs the Suns in their opener as Phoenix is a much better team than people realize at this point in the season. I also expect newly acquired Euro star Doncic to be primed to play a big game in front of Mark Cuban and the Mavs fans tonight . This top tier player is acclimating much faster to the NBAs physical game than I anticipated and is really impressive and can easily control a games tempo. Look for his teammates and fans to feed off his energy tonight and make this an electric environment. DALLAS is 14-4 ATS in home games against Northwest division opponents.DALLAS is 29-15 ATS after a loss by 10 points or more over the last 3 seasons.Carlisle is 30-12 ATS off a road blowout loss of 20 points or more as the coach of DALLAS.

The line has moved off the opener of -2.5 and and rightly so and Im betting we have value here backing the new small ball Detroit Pistons right up to -4. The Pistons won their first game of the season against the Brooklyn Nets 103-100 behind Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond despite of being a little short handed with two starters out. The Pistons found a way to hold the fort and win was a positive sign in the midst of plenty of teachable moments, Casey told reporters Thursday. Pistons now coached by Dwane Casey are a fast team, that works the inside well and hold key matchup problems for teams like the Chicago Bulls that are off a 127-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Note NBA Road favorites (DETROIT) - off a close home win by 3 points or less are 48-9 SU L/5 seasons for a 86% conversion rate with the average margin point differential coming by 8.5 ppg.

Oregon is coming off a huge 30-27 OT win vs Washington last week, and now in a away game will be in a huge emotional letdown situation against a Washington State team that has the guns to take them out here at home. Note: Washington State is explosive passing team with its "Air Raid" offense under Leach. East Carolina graduate transfer Gardner Minshew is the top passer in the Pac-12 (averaging 403.7 yards a game) while completing 68.7 percent of his passes (215 of 313) with 19 touchdowns and only four interceptions. Strap on you jock straps fellas, this ride is going to get bumpy for the incoming Ducks.

Other than that this team is completely inept and look like they are still dealing with the massive emotional hangover of that bizarre win. They put everything they had into that game, and now theirs nothing left in the tank. The Monarchs have lost two straight by DDs and took it on the chin last week, 42-20 vs Marshall, and gave up a pile of yards which does not set up well for them coming into this game as they are 0-10 ATS after allowing 475 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games since 1999.

Add to that the Tigers have Sabans Alabama on board for next week, and you can see taking points here with a under appreciated opponent is a viable wagering opportunity. Miss State is 4-0 ATS L/4 meetings, and have a good read on HC Oregeron as is evident by last seasons 37-7 beatdown of this same LSU program. LSU is 3-13 ATS in home games versus excellent rushing teams - averaging 5.25 or more rushing yards/carry.

They will now be at a disadvantage vs a Washington side off a loss in their home opener to Miami 113-112 and that will now be out looking for redemption against what could be an Eastern Conference front runner. Actually Torontos top tier projections centre on whether the often injured Kawhi Leonard remains healthy enough to stay in the lineup . He has missed an average of 30% of his games during his career and already missed to play off runs. Tonight Im betting for Wizards star Bradely Beal to lead the way for the Wizards . He has thrived vs the Raptorsin the recent past and had 38 points in their first meeting of the season last year and two more 30-plus nights in the playoffs.Saturday's game is a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference first-round playoff series in which the Raptors eliminated the Wizards in six games.REVENGE on board for the home team.

These two teams Im betting will embark on a all out war this week that favours the dog getting a boatload full of points .Don't get me wrong Clemson is a great team and Death Valley is a nasty place to visit if your an opposing football program, but NC State is highly under rated and more than capable of actually pulling off the upset this week. The last two meetings in this series were won by the Tigers by 7 point counts and another one score game is a high probability event that makes this a viable wager in this spot. Both these teams are well rested off a bye week, but in the recent past that has not been a recipe for success from a spread perspective for the Tigers as they have failed to cover 4 straight times. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack are 19-2 ATS off a bye, vs conference foes and have covered 15 of 16 when made underdogs. NC State has covered 9 straight ATS as 2 TD or more dogs.

They won one of those games, and lost the other two vs teams that are also explosive offensively. Meanwhile, Coastal Carolina despite improvement over last season, just don't have the guns to hang with this type of offence, and also own a inconsistent defence that has allowed 42 points in back to back games.Look for Umass to bomb away on Coastal Carolina and for the visitors to punch back, but Im betting the bigger and more frequent shots will come from UMass.

On both occasions they blew late leads, and if it were not for those heart breaking defeats they would be 5-1 on the season, with Virginia being the only team to surprisingly manhandle them 45-31. HC Solich is a solid coach and he now has the opportunity to get his troops back in a winning frame of mind .With that said, look for this explosive Bobcats group on their own home field to now take out their frustrations on a very over matched in disarray Bowling Green team that fired their coach this week.

Virginia knocked off Miami U in a big upset last week, and after that the Cavs and their fans rushed the field like they had won a national championship. Thats what I call irrational exuberance at its best, and now the hungover Cavs will have problems facing a team that I have rated above them my power rankings . You have to remember this is the same Virginia team that crapped the bed earlier this season vs struggling Indiana football program and lost 20-16, so its not like their national championship contenders or anything. Meanwhile,Duke rebounded from its first loss of the season against Virginia Tech by surgically dismantling the Yellow Jackets option offense in a impressive looking 28-14 conference road victory. Im becoming a believer in the Duke football program that has beaten Army, Northwestern, Baylor this season and Im saying they have to be respected today on a TD or less line at home. VIRGINIA has failed to cover 18 of their L/24 after covering the spread in 4 out of their last 5 games.

Before I get started Id like to say I acknowledge that Michigan has the better all round team in todays confrontation with Michigan State. But being a superior side does not guarantee a cover or even a win on any given Saturday, especially in a game between to long time rivals. Michigan State has also shown themselves golden under D Antonio tenure going 3-0 ATS and 2-1 SU vs Harbaugh and the Wolverines and overall have cashed 10 straight in this series including 8 victories SU. Today I expect the Spartans No.1 ranked rush D, to be the difference maker as Wolverines QB Patterson who will be made one dimensional, which could easily see him make mistakes vs a front 7 that can definitely turn up the heat when motivated.

Whether Russel Westbrook plays or not tonight, for the Thunder, I still like the home team the LA Clippers to come out on top. Westbrook after under going what has been described a minor knee procedure is probably less than 100% despite of being rushed on the court for his first game. I know the media is buzzing about what a great D, the Thunder will have this season, but the Clippers are also deep with defensive talent despite of this being a transition season for them. Both teams lost their openers but the Thunder worked harder than the Clippers in their loss to the Warriors in game 1 and could feel a bit of an emotional letdown, vs a energized Clippers side that has a chance to redeem itself in this their 2nd home game of the season.

Boise is not as powerful as I expected them to be this season, and have been slightly disappointing to some degree, especially at home last time out losing to a banged up San Diego State squad 19-13. Laying this much lumber at home does not suit their current form and from a recent trends set does not favour them to cover in this spot, as the blue carpet hosts are just 3-14-1 ATS in their last 18 lined home games and an equally dismal 4-18 ATS in conference games as 21 or more point chalk. Meanwhile, Colorado State is picking up the pace of late after a slow start and have won and covered two straight as well winning the stats battle.

Add to that they allowed the Hornets to shoot 42.1 percent from beyond the arc (44.6 percent overall). That is not a recipe for success against a very under rated Indiana Pacers side that is deep and can light the word up in a hurry, while also playing top tier defence.Indiana opened its season with a easily handling Memphis 111-83 on Wednesday night and look like viable underdogs in this spot.

Two rebuilding teams continue their rivalry tonight as the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets do battle in the big apple. Both look evenly matched and I consider this type of game a neutral court event, thus getting points with the Knicks looks like a viable wagering opportunity despite of them playing without key player Kristaps Porzingis. With Tim Hardaway Jr., getting more touches because of Porzingis absence Im betting the Knicks will be a handful for the Nets and have an edge. Add to that the Nets are pretty banged up with and maybe without Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (left adductor), DeMarre Carroll (right ankle surgery), Allen Crabbe (left ankle sprain) and Shabazz Napier (strained right hamstring) who all missed the first game.The Knicks swept the season series by an average of 14.8 points, getting all four wins before Porzingis was lost, but believe they still offer up a lot of bad matchups even with him gone.

Im betting in their followup tilt they will not be so fortunate vs a decent looking Hornets squad that despite of a loss in their first game , almost came back from 20 point deficit thanks to some fast paced small ball. According to my team vs team power rankings and matchups the Magic do matchup well vs this type of opposition. Charlotte has won 14 of the last 18 meetings and 4 straight and 10 of its last 12 trips to Orlando and get the nod again in this spot to cover the number.

Im betting things won't get much better , as the Heat are banged up and were shorthanded last night without James Johnson (sports hernia), Dion Waiters (left ankle), Wayne Ellington (left ankle), and Justise Winslow (right hamstring), and they are expected to miss Thursday's game as well. Look for Washington to be primed to get things rolling in the right direction on opening night behind four key returning starters John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter Jr. and Markieff Morris and possibly newly acquired with the hobbled Dwight Howard, who averaged 16.6 points and 12.5 rebounds last season with Charlotte.

I don't have a lot of perceived early season expectations for both of these teams and both are on my wait and see list, with a dozen other sides. One thing Im sure of though is that. Suns first round pick 7'1 center Deandre Ayton will be a key contributor to the Suns successes or failures going forward. However, from a head to head matchup comparison, I like the Suns chances of victory as shot home chalk, as Dallas will be without their injured star big man Nowitzki and also small forward Harrison Barnes. Overall the Mavs don't inspire me considering their current lineup and expect Euro star acquisition Doncic to take time to acclimated the physical NBA style of play. From a matchup perspective based on my my early season power rankings charts, and the fact that key Suns guard previously injured Devon Booker is expected to play tonight the Suns look like viable choices here at home.

10-17-18 | Grizzlies v. Pacers -6.5 | 83-111 | Win | 100 | 22 h 21 m | Show | |
Indiana towards the end of late season, really started to jell as a team, and went into the play offs with a full head of steam, giving the Cleveland Cavaliers all they could handle before folding. Im betting that post season experience will help this team ascend to even higher heights this season. Add to that last seasons entire starting lineup returns intact including the explosive Oladipo and a deep bench with the likes of Sabonis , Joseph , McDermott and Quinn as well as first round picks Leaf and Aaron Holiday and you have a dangerous deep team to back. Memphis also looks to be much better this season with Conely healthy again after playing only 12 games last season. But unfortunately for the Grizzlies they are going up against what my early season lean suggests is the superior side on this home chalk line. INDIANA is 19-8 ATS as a home favorite over the last 2 seasons. Indiana 110.1 Opposition 101.4 NBA Favorites vs. the money line (INDIANA) - in non-conference games, first 6 games of the season, after closing out last season with 3 or more straight spread covers are 37-5 SU L/5 seasons for 88% conversion rate with the average margin of victory coming by 10.5 ppg.

10-14-18 | Colts +2.5 v. Jets | 34-42 | Loss | -110 | 68 h 2 m | Show | |
The Jets despite of notching a win last week, vs a sleepy looking Denver team were not particularly efficient and still had two turnovers, which is not a good omen for them this week vs top tier QB Andrew Luck and Colts. It must be noted that NFL teams that had fewer than six wins the previous season are 0-18 ATS at home when they are off a home win in which they committed two-plus turnovers and have lost 15 of the 18 games SU. Meanwhile, the Colts are off having their butts kicked in a Thursday night clash last week in prime time, and have shown a propensity to bounce back well with Luck at the helm of the offence, as is evident by Indys record when coming off a SUATS loss, recording a 22-4 SU mark along with a bankroll expanding 21-5 ATS record in his NFL career – including 13-0 SU and 12-1 ATS against below .500 opposition and a perfect 7-0 ATS when coming off a non-division double- digit loss as was the case vs the Indianapolis and is also 12-1 ATS vs a non-divisional opponent when they are off a loss by more than a TD in which their opponent had more third down conversions than punts. With that said, expect Luck and company to cash this week vs a Jets side that is 0-4 ATS L/4 off a SU/ATS win. NFL Home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (NY JETS) - in a game involving two average teams (within +/- 40 YPG of their opponents), after gaining 400 or more total yards in their previous game are 19-47 ATS L/10 seasons for a go against 71% conversion rate for bettors. |

Atlanta enters this game banged up and displaying a atrocious D that is allowing just under 400 yards a game. Should they really be a FG favorite even here at home in their current state, Im saying maybe based on perceptions and respect from the recent past successes. However, based on tangible evidence and their current form, I definitely say their fade material vs a Tampa Bay team that must not be underestimated in their ability to upset them. I know TB is coming off two straight losses, including an embarrassing 48-10 loss at Chicago Sept. 30. But pros don't like to be embarrassed and with a week of rest will be hell bent on getting redemption. TB has also shown a propensity to bounce back, on the road after a bye and are 5-1 ATS with rest. ATLANTA is 8-20 ATS L/28 in home games vs. excellent passing teams averaging 7.5 or more passing yards/att.

Meanwhile, Oakland is showing very little life and have lost 4 of their first 5 games thanks mostly to a defense that is allowing 29.8 ppg and an offense that has scored more than 20 points once this season. Look for Seattle a team that averages 23.2 ppg to do some damage this week and to get us a cover.

10-13-18 | Wyoming +18 v. Fresno State | 3-27 | Loss | -106 | 60 h 17 m | Show | |
Im sure Wyoming does not inspire a lot of betting backers, because of their sub par record and crappy offence. But one thing this team can do is eat up clock and slow their games down to a crawl via a slow progressive run game, and a defence that is highly under rated. Note: WYOMING is 13-4 ATS L/17 as a road underdog of 14.5 to 21 points . I know Fresno State looked powerful this season with their only loss coming against Minnesota, but it must be noted that Wyoming owns a 8-0 ATS record as road underdogs of 23 or less points vs opp coming off consecutive victories and are viable investment options in this spot. With that said, Im betting Fresno State is getting to much respect here for beating a struggling UCLA side and a defensively deficient Toledo team travelling from east to west , and that Wyoming actually maybe more of headache for them then what the home side might expect. CFB team (WYOMING) - after 5 or more consecutive losses against the spread against opponent after 1 or more consecutive wins against the spread are 35-9 ATS L/5 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors.

Ole Miss are weak 7 point favs here according to my calculations. Overall this Ole Miss football program have been poor road favs failing to cover 24 of their L/30 in that role. I know they put 70 points up on UL Monroe last week, but their will be a reversion backwards in their output here, and with their defence as atrocious as it is, I expect a Arkansas offence that put 31 point on the board vs Alabama last week do a lot of damage here today in what could easily be a straight up win. t Arkansas is 10-4 SU and 11-3 ATS in this series with Ol Miss of late , and are 6-1 ATS l at home and 6-1 ATS under dogs. the two most recent meetings in this series were decided by 4 and 1 point respectively.

A so called third string QB Purdy, marched into Stillwater to face a pretty good Okahoma State football program last week and helped his team pull off a SU win as DD underdogs. This is just not any 3rd string QB, but one that threw for 7700 yards in his last couple of campaigns playing Texas High school ball and who was pursed by a lot of big name teams. After that big win I doubt very much Iowa State will be a in a letdown situation vs what is now one of favorites to win the Big 12 championship, especially here at home. This place will be rocking this week and so will Iowa States offence. It must also be noted that HC Matt Campbell playing as an underdog against opp like the Mountaineers coming off a SUATS victory is 11-1 ATS in conference games including a perfect 5-0 ATS at home.

This week here on the road against the Ducks I won't be surprised if they are exposed by a under rated Oregon team that is well rested and off a bye and will be primed to pull off a upset. Note: Oregon is 6-0 ATS L/6 with rest) The Ducks are 113-23 SU L/21 seasons at home. OREGON is 29-9 ATS after leading their last 2 games by 14+ points at the half since 1992.

This version of Army is for real and a dangerous opponent as top tier teams like Buffalo U and Oklahoma and Navy have already learned this season. A lot of old negative numbers showing Army as bad bets as road favs are now out dated as compared to the group HC Monk has assembled here at West Point this season. I know San Jose State has played decently of late, at least from a competitive stand point, but Im betting their not built to handle Armys triple option attack and that they will get literally run over here today in a big way. San Jose State has given up a whopping 165 ypg on the ground this season. Im not a a long term proponent of constantly laying DD on the road, but some situations warrant such a wager and this is one of them. CFB Road favorites (ARMY) - after outrushing opponent by 100 or more yards in 3 straight games against opponent after being outrushed by 125 or more yards last game are 23-2 ATS L/10 seasons for a 92% conversion rate for bettors with the average combined point differential coming by 28 ppg.

I know they lost last week to Miami O in ugly fashion, but in the past they have shown an ability to bounce back going 6-1 ATS as dogs when coming off a SUATS loss.Bowden is 15-6 ATS in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread as the coach of AKRON. Meanwhile, Buffalo at 5-1 behind future NFL draft pick 6’7” QB Tyree Jackson (ranked 8th in the nation in TD passes) have looked strong this season in MAC play, but has some alarming numbers attached to their stats tags when it comes to Red Zone Offense efficiency rankings – Bulls are ranked second to last which is interesting considering their offensive output. Meanwhile, the Zips are the leaders in red zone efficiency. With that said, from a matchup perspective, the Zips are viable underdogs in this matchup on this DD line.

Iowa has owned this series of late with a record of 6-1 SU, and add to that are also 7-0 ATS as conference road favorites of 15 or less points.

Meanwhile, the GMen have played well above their heads, so far , but are still just 1-4 SU and after their heartbreaking 33-31 loss last week in Carolina thanks to a nearly impossible 62 yard walk off FG. Im now betting the Giants will now be in an enormous letdown situation on short rest, which favours a hungry superior side.

Appalachian States offence is rolling with their lowest output (35 pts) coming against Penn State . Right now the Mountaineers look to be the class of the Sunbelt and have proven they can hang with teams like the Nittany Lions, and laying less than DDs with them looks like a steal . It's never easy laying lumber with a road team in any sport and you have to do your due diligence which I have. This group of Mountaineers looks special indeed and as long as they stay motivated Im betting Arkansas State does not have the needed fire power to cover this number vs a behemoth opponent. Appalachian State is also well rested which is a good omen here for us cashing a ticket, as they are 6-0 ATS after a bye week over the last 3 seasons.

The Senators after a tumultuous off season that saw their super star defence man traded, Erik Karlsson , have surprisingly started their season on a winning note. But Im betting this surge will come to an abrupt end today as Im backing the Bruins inconsistent goal keeper Rask to come up big here, after a slow start to his season that saw him allow 5 goals before being pulled in a 7-0 opening night loss to the Washington Capitals . Look for redemption minded Rask to be at his best this afternoon in the Bruins home opener. He has owned the Sens of late going 3-0-0-0 against last season and owns a 2.17 GAA and .925 save percentage lifetime against them. The Bruins won all 4 games vs Ottawa last season with the two home wins coming by 5-2 and 5-1 counts and another similar outcome is not out of the question, and viable wagering option on a -1.5 puckline. |

San Francisco has been made more than a 3 point favorite here because of their perceived superiority vs a 0-4 Arizona team that is currently on the shit list for public bettors. However, laying points with SF is not a good bet when they are at home as is evident by a 0-11-2 ATS as a home favorite since the 2012 season. Neither team inspires bettors, but getting points with a Arizona team that is getting better with former UCLA gunslinger Josh Rosen at the helm is a viable wagering opportunity. Plus watching SF blow a 14 point last week, vs the Chargers and eventually losing 29-27 is disheartening , and a bd omen for their chances today to cover, as the 49'ers are 0-10 ATS playing on a natural surface after a loss in which they scored at least the first fourteen points of the game. It must also be noted that Arizona has lost 2 straight at home but the good news here is that the franchise is 7-1 ATS L/8 as a dog of 3 or more points when coming off consecutive home losses.

The Giants are one of these teams that continue to surprise many when they look down and out. This is not a good Giants team, but QB Eli Manning is 32-17-3 ATS career mark in games during October – including 16-6-2 ATS away and seems to play his best football at this time of the season. I know expected future star RB Barkley only had 44 yards pastime out, but the NY GIANTS are long term good bet off a bad rushing performance cashing 26 of their L/38 ATS in road games after gaining 75 or less rushing yards.The Giants' offense has plenty of playmakers to challenge the Panthers' defense. Veteran quarterback Eli Manning has passed for 1,055 yards and four touchdowns with one interception, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has 31 catches for 331 yards already, and rookie running back Saquon Barkley has rushed for 260 yards on 56 carries and three touchdowns. Barkley has accumulated the most yards from scrimmage by a rookie so far this season with 453. The No. 2 pick in the 2018 draft is the fifth player in NFL history with 100 or more yards from scrimmage in his first four career games. NFL home favorites like Carolina are 0-22 ATS on natural surface off a victory as a home favorite of 13 points or less when they are going against a team that has averaged less than five rushing first downs per game and more than 3.5 yards per rush season-to-date.

Last week Buffalo looked horrendous in a 22-0 shutout loss to the Packers. But it must be noted that the Bills are 6-1 SU in games after having being shutout. From a league wide data base NFL teams coming off being blanked who were in the playoffs the previous season are good bets as home dogs in their followup going 8-1-1 ATS since 1990 when taking 3 points or more. Truth is Buffalo is not that bad, and Tennessee is not that good despite of what the pundits might think after upsetting the Super Bowl Champs last week 26-23. Note:Away teams are just 13-41 SU and 15-39 ATS since 1992 after upsetting the defending Super bowl Champion. Im betting on an emotional letdown situation effecting the Titans this weak, and for redemption and embarrassment to be the catalyst for a Buffalo cover.

Wyoming is not as bad as their record would indicate and have the type of D, that can slow down the potent offensive attack of the Warriors. The Cowboys have held two opponents to season low offensive outputs and are under rated here on this trip to Hawaii to play a team that defensively challenged and is looking tired after putting up some serious flyer reward points this season. HAWAII is 0-10 ATS after 1 or more consecutive losses against the spread over the last 2 seasons which was the case vs San Jose State last week. HAWAII is 1-8 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record over the last 3 seasons. Wyoming is 7-1 L/8 trips to paradise island. WYOMING is 6-0 ATS in October games over the last 3 seasons.

Notre Dame is not a true 7 point favorite here on the road vs a well coached VTech team. Hey I respect how good the Irish have looked so far this season, but you have to respect the Hokies as dogs here on their own home field. Yes, Tech lost to Old Dominion a couple of weeks ago in perplexing fashion but they did bounce back last week against a good Duke team in a 31-14 victory as underdogs. Backup QB Ryan Willis, who was inserted after starting QB Jackson went down, was 17-for-26 for 332 yards with 3 TDs and 0 interceptions and must also be respected to keep his team moving forward this week. Hokies are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 as a home dog. Virginia Tech is 48-3 SU in its last 51 home tilts against non-conference opposition with only one defeat coming by more than a touchdown. Lane Stadium will be rocking, so if I were Notre Dame I wouldn't come a knocking. VIRGINIA TECH is 14-4 ATS off an upset win as a road underdog since 1992. CFB Road favorites (NOTRE DAME) - good offensive team (5.6 to 6.2 YPP) against a team with an average defense (4.8 to 5.6 YPP), after gaining 450 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games are 14-44 L/27 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors.

After playing Alabama lat week this game for UL Lafayette vs a struggling Texas State team will seem like a walk in the park. Another loss they suffered was to Miss State and a underrated Coastal Carolina and they must not be underestimated in their ability vs a much less talented group at like the Bobcats that are suppose to start a freshman QB this week behind a inconsistent offensive line. The home team has not played anywhere near the competition UL Lafayette has played and Im betting that will become evident here this Saturday. UL Lafayette is 5-0 SU/ATS L/5 meetings in this series, with the last two showing 24-7 and 27-3 wins home and away. CFB Favorites of 3.5 to 10 points (LA LAFAYETTE) - excellent rushing team (4.8 or more YPR) against a poor rushing team (3 to 3.5 YPR), in conference game are 43-16 ATS L/10 season for a 73% conversion rate for bettors.

10-06-18 | Kentucky +6 v. Texas A&M | 14-20 | Push | 0 | 56 h 29 m | Show | |
A lot of pundits keep on betting on Kentucky not being the real deal. But after watching them a lot closer of late Im betting they are and won't go out here today without a fight vs Jimbo Fisher and company. The key to their ability to cover here will hinge on a defense that is ranked 11th in the nation, allowing just 13 points and 288 yards per game. Thats not good news for Texas A&M QB Mond who struggled in a 24-17 win over Arkansas last week, going 17 of 26 for 201 yards. He threw two interceptions for the second straight game and is downgraded on my QB power rankings list. KENTUCKY is 6-0 ATS after allowing 14 points or less last game over the last 3 seasons.

HC Mullen’s took out the Miss State Bulldogs last week and are now an impressive improved 3-0 SUATS and have won the stats battle in those 3 games since losing to a strong undefeated Kentucky football program in Week Two. I know that LSU is perfect on the season, and playing really good football, but Mullens is a coach that knows how to deal with teams like the Tigers as he was 4-0 ATS vs LSU when he coached Miss State. Last season these teams took part in a 17-16 sleepers the SWAMP and Im betting on another close game today. Oregon has not done well in his career vs.750 SEC opposition like the Gators , garnering a ugly 2-13 SU in that role. |

Wow what a crazy situation Clemson finds itself in. QB Kelly Bryant announced he was leaving the team after HC Dabo Swinney decided to start Trevor Lawrence against Syracuse. However, Lawrence I'm sure much to the delight of Bryant and family. was forced out of the Orange game with an injury and backup Chase Brice, took over. Thats never good for team morale, but their overall talent got them through that game vs Syracuse , but just barely barely 27-23.

The last four meetings in this series have been decided by a touchdown or less, with the Horns taking the advantage via a a 5-0 ATS series make in the last five meetings.

Alabama has accumulated much of its big numbers vs patsies this season, with the one decent team they played being Texas A&M and that game was alot closer than the lines makers expected. I know Arkansas in their current form may not inspire bettors but this is still a proud program that despite of going through growing pains is capable of covering here at home in front of their own alumni. The promise their showing comes via a Defence, that has allowed their last 3 opponents seasons low offensive outputs including last weeks 24-17 loss vs TexasA&M covering as 19 point dogs. It must also be noted that only 3 times since 1977 spanning 274 games have the Hogs lost by more than 36 points. Don't get me wrong the Tide are a behemoth opponent and more than capable of blasting a team like Arkansas, but Im betting the Razorbacks come out here and play this game like a national championship.

They can't seem to get over the hump when its comes to notching big wins, and are off a triple OT loss last time out vsN.Illinois, but what they have consistently done is be very competitive opponents thanks to a gruelling hardcore brand of physical football.

Clayton Kershaw was little upset he did not get the start in game 1 of this series, and suggested to those listening he does not need to prove himself to anyone. Now a little cranky and with a lot to prove, after a couple of down performances to finish his season, Kershaw should be ready to make believers of his detractors. Right now I believe in Kershaw and the rest of the Dodgers as believe they are the superior side.

Talk about a revenge scenario. Well thats what we have tonight as the New England Pats host the Indianapolis Pats. The Colts were the team that essentially were the ones who reported Pats super star QB Tom Brady to the league for deflated balls, which supposedly gave him an advantage. Known as Deflategate it has been a sore spot for the Pats and their fans for a while, and Im betting some pay back will be at hand tonight no matter what Brady and Belichick say to the media. The Pats started slowly this season, but after watching them destroy of the undefeated Dolphins last week 38-7 Im betting on them to continue to explode, even if the often injured TE Gronkowski does not play because of a pulled hamstring. Yes, the Pats might have seemed susceptible early on this season, thanks to a ugly rush stopping acumen, but a Colts teams ranked 29th in rushing won be a team that can take advantage of any perceived weaknesses. The Colts' best receiver, T.Y. Hilton, is unlikely to play which also puts the Colts at a disadvantage. Indianapolis has very few other offensive weapons and their defense is shoddy to say the least and Im betting Brady can look at and go up and down the field all day long and make them pay big time with properly inflated balls. Brady is 5-0 against Luck. Patriots have won 9 of their L/12 on Thursday night and are a profitable 20-8-2 ATS L30 as Home favorites and get the nod again tonight.

With that said, I now expect a reversion to the norm for Georgia State against a behemoth opponent that will be wide awake coming into this tilt.

But what is a little concerning is KCs defence, which is allowing an average of 30.7 ppg.on 474 mpg for the leagues worst D.

Despite of the Steelers notching their first win of the season last time out this past Monday, their were still some issues that stood out. The Steelers took a big lead vs TB in that Monday night game but did not score in the 2nd half, and still allowed 27 points as they now rank 29thin in the league in defence. With the Ravens averaging 32.3 points per game the Steelers will once again be tested and probably trampled on by a revenge minded Ravens group that lost 39-38 in last years blockbuster battle covering as 5 point dogs. I know the Ravens choked against Cincinnati last time out, but they will be wide awake for this tilt and ready to rock'n'roll. Another key difference maker in what will be a physical game will come with discipline something, Pittsburgh has struggled with this season as they have been penalized for an average of 120 yards per game, which is easily the worst in the league. The Ravens are 5-0 ATS as division dogs of more than 3 points. and the Steelers are 1-7 ATS home after a Monday-nighter when taking on .500 or greater opponents.

When I saw that the Cardinals were being made underdogs at home , I understood why, but to a down trending team like Seattle, this underdog line favouring the home team becomes a value based option. I know Arizona has struggled to score, and has been shutout once this season, and only scored 14 ppg in their other two, but their offence despite of being conservative in nature shows some promise going forward. behind a true gun slinger in for UCLA star QB Josh Rosen who is expected to start this week. The pieces are being built for him to take off, despite of the cement shackles the coordinators are putting on him. With that said, I expect the Cards to make life tough on the Seahawks like they did on the Bears last week, and get us a cover. Note:1-2 chalk in Game Three off a victory are just 12-32 ATS and sides like Arizona that have scored no more than 16 combined points in their past two games are 76-31-1 ATS in the follow up. Yes, I know the Seahawks D, looked good last week in a win, but it also must be noted that the Seahawks are 0-7 ATS L/7 after a home game where they allowed less than 14 points.

The lines makers are obviously not buying into their current record , and still feel the the Pats are most probably ready to take out their frustrations this week vs a team that is very over rated and also a little lucky to be undefeated so far. Considering the Bill Belichick and company are also in a revenge mode for a 27-20 loss at Miami in December of last year this line looks cheaper by the minute.

Here against a very physical and gruelling BYU defence allowing just 17 ppg, the sled dogs are not going to just cruise to an easy victory in my humble opinion. BYU proved their metal already this season when they went into Wisconsin and upset the Badgers as DDdogs, and almost did the same to a solid looking California Bears team losing 21-18 and also beating Arizona as 11.5 point away pups. Look for the Mormons QB Tanner Mangum to do just enough to put up enough points to get us a cover in what should be a very hard fought tilt.

Needless to say Milwaukee has the edge here with Miley on the hill. Add to that the Brewers are brewing big time right now, winning four in a row while scoring at least 6 runs in three of those tilts, and should be ready to unload here and keep the gravel train flowing towards the play offs.

The Rockies enter this tilt against Washington with a half-game lead in the NL West and are rumbling towards the playoffs as they are currently on a 6 game win streak behind a red hot offence that has accumulated at least 10 runs or more in their last three trips to the diamonds. Im betting Freeland the Rockies starter (16-7, 2.84 ERA) who has won seven straight decisions gets his team to the promised land in what Im betting will be a one side affair that features a hot team looking for a play off spot and a team that is just playing out the string. FREELAND is 14-2 SU in the second half of the season this season. (Team's Record) with a combined average margin of victory coming by 2.3 rpg. Pitching matchup discrepancy : Freeland is 1-0, 3.72 in two starts against Washington. Ross is 0-0, 9.64 in one four-inning relief appearance against the Rockies on April 25, 2017, at Coors Field. The Nationals have lost 17 straight in the first game of a series with rest as dog of more than 130 vs a team that has won at least their last two games with the last 7 coming by multiple runs , as they have been outscored 53 to 13, which is a 5.71 rpg average deficit. Play on the Colorado Rockies to win on the runline |

09-28-18 | Memphis v. Tulane +14 | 24-40 | Win | 100 | 58 h 27 m | Show | |
Willie Fritz has assembled a tough bunch here in Tulane and its one of this programs betters group of talent, behind what is a never say die defence that actually stood tall against Ohio State vaunted offence last week. Ya they were smashed , but man did they look determined. Their no pushovers, and Im so impressed by them that Im willing to recommend we take the points here vs visits Memphis. Note: HC Fritz has won 17 of 25 home games and is 6-1 ATS as home pup of 5 points or more. TULANE is 6-0 ATS in home games after playing a non-conference game over the last 3 seasons MEMPHIS is 0-6 ATS after allowing 325 or more passing yards in their last game over the last 3 seasons.MEMPHIS is 4-16 ATS L/20 after scoring 50 points or more last game which happened last week in a 52- 35 victory vs South Alabama. CFB Road favorites of 10.5 to 21 points (MEMPHIS) - dominant team - outgaining their opponents by 125 or more yards/game, after gaining 525 or more total yards/game over their last 2 games are just 14-46 ATS L/10 seasons for a go against 77% conversion rate for bettors.

09-27-18 | North Carolina +19 v. Miami-FL | 10-47 | Loss | -106 | 84 h 41 m | Show | |
The North Carolina Tar Heels will meet the Miami Hurricanes in nationally-televised college football action on Thursday, September 27 at Hard Rock Stadium. The Canes are almost a 3 TD fav, which is out of whack compared to where true line value sits at about 17 points. Thus taking points here tonight is an easy decision. N CAROLINA is 6-0 ATS vs. excellent punt return teams, more than 12 yards per return over the last 3 seasons. CFB Home favorites of 10.5 to 21 points (MIAMI) - with an excellent rushing D - allowing 100 or less rushing yards/game, after allowing 1 or less rushing yards/attempt last game are 13-42 ATS L/27 seasons for a go against 77% conversion rate for bettors.

09-24-18 | Steelers +1 v. Bucs | 30-27 | Win | 100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at 0-2 does not currently look like a power house team thanks in part to a defence that looks highly inconsistent.What Im trying to say is that the Steelers look to be a weaker pick than many might anticipate here this Monday night. I'm betting on QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (back to back 400 yard games) and a talented collection of playmakers that include DeSean Jackson, Mike Evans, O.J. Howard and Chris Godwin to do some damage here tonight on their way to a cover. QUOTE:"I respect what they've done. I'm not so sure I'm surprised," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of Tampa Bay's emergence with wins against the New Orleans Saints and the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. END QUOTE: Tomlin is 6-16 ATS in road games in September games as the coach of PITTSBURGH.Buccaneers are 8-0 ATS as Monday Night home dogs when coming off non-divisional tilt. It must also be noted that TB should not be underestimated here no matter how desperate the Steelers are as NFL teams like Tampa Bay coming off consecutive straight up underdog wins, are 12-1 SU and a perfect 5-0 ATS as dogs.
