11-13-17 | Old Dominion -4 v. James Madison | 69-53 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Old Dominion bases their failures and successes on staunch defensive basketball, and last season, were ranked 48th in adjusted defensive efficiency. This seasons version should once again fit this mold, but the offense should also be improved, which will put them at the head of C_USA this season as long as they remain healthy. Meanwhile this James Madison hoops program, goes into this season with a very inexperienced roster and are not returning a single DD scorer from last season, and today tilt must be looked at as difficult for them to say the least. This team, had issues scoring in the past and those problems will be even more exasperated this season, and especially today . JAMES MADISON is 1-8 ATS L/9 in non-conference games Play on the Old Dominion to cover 1 unit reg selection |

11-12-17 | Patriots v. Broncos UNDER 46.5 | 41-16 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 56 m | Show | |
After getting crushed for 50 plus points by Philadelphia last time out, I'm betting the Broncos , settle down and go back to basics this week and pound the ball on the ground consistently in an effort to stay competitive and eat clock against the Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots. The usually staunch Denver D, looked tanked last week, as they were playing their third straight road game. Now back in the high altitudes of the Rockies their D should be ready to get back to what they do best, and that is partake in smash mouth football. Meanwhile, the Patriots, after a slow start on defense, are starting to jell into top form, allowing 14, 17,7, 13 points respectively in their L/4 ( 12.75 ppg) and will give the offensively challenged Broncos all they can handle this week. With that said, I'm expecting a lower scoring affair than the linesmakers do. Note: AFC dogs, of 10 points or less, who gave up 50 points or more in their L/game on the road, have gone under 9 of the L/10 times dating back 10 seasons. DENVER is 10-2 UNDER L/12 in home games when playing against a team with a winning record with a combined average of 38.1 ppg going on the board.DENVER is 13-3 UNDER L/16 after allowing 17 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games with a combined average of 37 ppg going on the board. NFL Road teams against the total like New England - after having won 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games, a top-level team (75% or better) playing a team with a losing record ARE 24-3UNDER during the L/5 seasons for a 89% conversion rate for bettors. team where the total is between 42.5 and 49 points (NEW ENGLAND) - in a game involving two teams with 1.25 or less turnovers/game forced after 8+ games, after a game where they committed 1 or less turnovers are 26-6 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 81% conversion rate. NFL Home teams against the total like Denver - off a road blowout loss by 21 points or more, team with a losing record in the second half of the season are 22-4 UNDER dating 5 seasons for a 85% conversion rate for Totals bettors.

11-12-17 | Eastern Washington v. Washington -9.5 | 69-79 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
Mike Hopkins the new HC for Washington , is coming to the PAC12 , after serving as an assistant to Boheim in Syracuse. He was widely sought after and a respected assistant and former Orange player. This is a hard working dude, and despite rumblings of a lot of new faces in the lineup after the Huskies after Romars firing, things pretty well stayed the same as he persuaded returning players to come back and play for him including 6'8 Noah Dickerson, who some thought would leave for LSU. Hopkins worked on schemes during the summer and player development, and Washington looked good out of the gate coming back against a very good Belmont team for a 86-82 win in their opener. This team looks very together, and I like them to come in here vs a lower tier Eastern Washington hoops group and pile the points on for a convincing win! Home teams as a favorite or pick like Washington- with four starters returning from last year in the first 10 games of the season, team from a major division 1-A conference against a team from a weak division 1-A conference are 51-18 ATS L/5 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors.

11-12-17 | Mavs +12.5 v. Thunder | 99-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City finally notched a win last time out vs the LA Clippers. Prior to that the team did not look cohesive, and lost four straight meetings. Now the lines-makers are making them 12 plus point favorites, vs a Dallas team that despite of a negative W/L SU record have looked much more competitive of late. That was evident when the Mavs picked up their first road win this week of the season against Washington before falling 111-104 to Cleveland on Saturday. With that said, I recommend we take the points. Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day.Thunder are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. Western Conference.Thunder are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

11-12-17 | Rockets v. Pacers +3.5 | 118-95 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
The Indiana Pacers are coming off one of the best defensive performances of the season as they try to forge a new image for themselves . The Pacers (6-7) snapped a four-game losing streak by beating Chicago 105-87 Friday night. Tonight against the explosive Rockets I'm betting on more conservative disciplined ball that focuses on slowing down a tired Houston team playing on back to back nights after beating Memphis at home on Saturday evening. It must also be noted that in Thursday nights win vs Cleveland the Rockets looked fatigued towards the end, so pulling out an extra gear last night, than getting on a plane here , I'm betting finally catches up to them in this spot. INDIANA is 8-0 ATS L/8 in home games after having lost 3 of their last 4 games. Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 Rockets - after 2 or more consecutive wins, playing on back-to-back days are 36-71 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against 66% conversion rate for bettors.

11-12-17 | Edmonton v. Winnipeg +1.5 | 39-32 | Loss | -105 | 94 h 6 m | Show | |
CFL Playoffs - Western Semifinal Winnipeg played their most complete game of the season in their last effort before the play offs against Calgary beating the leagues best team by a 23-5 count on the road . Now I'm betting they use the momentum from that game here today and get us the cover vs a Edmonton team that they beat in both meetings this season home and away. WINNIPEG is 12-1 ATS L/13 when playing against a team with a winning record dating back to last season and is 7-0 ATS versus good passing teams averaging 300 or more passing yards/game this season. WINNIPEG is 15-4 ATS L/19 as an underdog over the last 2 seasons. CFL Home underdogs or pick like Winnipeg - average passing team (245-290 PY/G) against an average passing defense (245-290 PY/G) after 9+ games are 35-11 ATS L/21 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors. CFL teams where the line is +3 to -3 like Edmonton - after 2 or more consecutive wins against the spread, good team, winning 60-75% or more of their games, in the second half of the season are 6-27 ATS for a go against conversion rate of 82% for bettors dating back 21 seasons.

11-12-17 | Cowboys +3 v. Falcons | 7-27 | Loss | -117 | 118 h 52 m | Show | |
The Cowboys enter this game against the Falcons having won three in a row–all by double-digits and by a combined 55 points. I was not a believer in them for much of this season, but mind is changing quickly. Even without star running back Elliott( if he does not get another injunction on his suspension) are still a team to be reckoned with, as QB Dak Prescott has proven immune to a sophomore jinx. The Atlanta team the Cowboys are playing are not the same team that made it to last years Super Bowl and the team as whole is struggling, especially on offense which is a surprise. The Falcons have been held to less than 20 points four times in their L/8 games, which is not a good omen vs a Dallas D, that not allowed more than 19 points in their L/3 games. Take the points. Atlanta HC Quinn is 4-16 ATS L/20 vs. good passing teams with a completion pct. of 61% or better. HC Garrett is 6-0 ATS L/6 after outrushing opponent by 50 or more yards in 3 straight games. Cowboys are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a ATS win.Cowboys are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games on grass.Falcons are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. NFL Home teams like Atlanta - good rushing team (4.5 YPR or more) against a team with an average rushing defense (3.5 to 4.5 YPR), after being outrushed by 75 or more yards last game are just 6-26 ATS L/10 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 81% for bettors.

11-12-17 | Texas State +3 v. Air Force | 57-65 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Talk about a hard working group, Texas State behind HC Kasper, is a team that bases it successes and failures on their ability to outwork opponents and play disciplined defensive basketball. Last season they were picked by the coaches to finish last , but instead grabbed 22 wins. Thisseason after good recruiting class, their going to be a viable group again. Despite of this I'm sure their still not looked at with the respect they deserve, but what you have to respect is their tenaciousness and work ethic, and I'm betting that what gets them the cover vs Air Force team with 8 new players and a recent lethargic win/loss ratio under one of my least favorite HCs Pipilovich .

11-12-17 | Raptors -2.5 v. Celtics | 94-95 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
The short handed Boston Celtics are in deep trouble today vs the visiting Toronto Raptors. In the Celtics last game a close win 90-87 vs Charlotte Kyrie Irving took a smash to the mouth from teammate Aron Baynes, leaving the game with a facial fracture and leaving the Celtics without all three of their new star laden group of Three. I know the Celtics have won 11 straight,, but I'm betting that current run ends today in the TD Center vs a side that matches up well against them The Raptors who were 3-1 overall against the Celtics last season now have an edge. Toronto has covered 7 of the L/8 meetings in this series. TORONTO is 13-4 ATS L/17 vs. division opponents and is 14-2 ATS L/16 after failing to cover 4 of their last 5 against the spread.BOSTON is 1-11 ATS L/12 in home games after playing 2 consecutive home games outscored during that period by an average of 3.5 ppg. NBA Home underdogs like the Celtics - after a close win by 3 points or less against opponent after scoring 55 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games are 16-42 ATS L/58 for a go against 72% conversion rate for bettors. NBA Home underdogs vs. the money line like the Celtics - in a game involving two explosive offensive teams ( 102 PPG or more ), after a win by 6 points or less are 11-52 \L/5 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 82% for bettors.

11-12-17 | Chargers +4.5 v. Jaguars | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 116 h 39 m | Show | |
The San Diego Chargers have been extremely competitive all season long, and were within striking distance against the New England Pats last time out losing by 8 points, which ended a three game win streak. Now off a bye week, I'm betting the Chargers will be extremely recharged and competitive this week, and could even spring the out right upset against a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Jacksonville Jags side. I know the Jags are off two impressive DD wins but they have not been good bets in the past after those type of results as is obvious by the following trends. JACKSONVILLE is 2-10 ATS L/12 after 2 straight wins by 10 or more points and 4-14 ATS after allowing 200 or less total yards in their previous game. LA CHARGERS is 11-2 ATS L/13 in road games vs. excellent ball control teams, 32 or more possession minutes/game after 8+ games . Chargers are 7-2 SU/ATS L/9 meetings in this series and 2-0 SU/ATS in the 2 most recent meetings over the L/3 seasons.Chargers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a win. Chargers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 meetings. NFL Road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points like the Chargers - off a road loss, a lower tier team, winning 25% to 40% of their games on the season are 108-61 ATS dating back 34 seasons for a long term 64% conversion rate for bettors.

11-12-17 | Vikings v. Redskins +1.5 | 38-30 | Loss | -115 | 115 h 44 m | Show | |
I'm not buying into Minnesota being viable road chalk here this week. I know they have won four straight games, but the wins came against Green Bay after star QB Rodgers was knocked out of the game with a collarbone injury, and against inconsistent Chicago and Baltimore sides, and lowly Cleveland. Now they have been tagged with the fav role, against a Washington side that maybe starting to jell in a big way , after holding Seattle to 14 points on the road in a 17-14 come from behind victory,. Andy yes, I do know the Vikings are off a bye week, but in the past they have not taken advantage of the extra rest as is evident by 1-6 ATS record in their last 7 games following a bye week.
Vikings are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games.Redskins are 8-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.Redskins are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in November.Home team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings WASHINGTON is 11-2 ATS L/13 vs. good passing teams with a completion pct. of 61% or better in the second half of the season.MINNESOTA is 0-6 ATS L/6 in road games vs. excellent passing teams with a completion pct. of 64% or better. NFL Underdogs or pick like Washington - in a game involving two average offensive teams (18-23 PPG) after 8 or more games, after allowing 14 points or less last game are a long term strong proposition 129-77 for a 63% conversion rate for bettors dating back 34 seasons.

11-12-17 | Bengals +4.5 v. Titans | 20-24 | Win | 100 | 114 h 58 m | Show | |
Tennessee has been playing better ball of late winning three straight, but they have not always dealt well with success in the past, even when playing against lower tier teams and have been less than successful from a ATS perspective, as the following data/trends will explain.TENNESSEE is 0-7 ATS L/7 when playing against a team with a losing record in the second half of the season dating back a few seasons and 1-14 ATS L/15 against teams who force 1 or less turnovers/game in the second half of the season and 0-6 ATS L/6 vs. poor punt coverage teams, allowing 12 or more yards per return . In their history this franchise has continually under achieved for their betting backers going just 14-32 ATS L/46 times as a home favorite of 3.5 to 7 points. Tonight I'm betting on a fast improving Bengals side that has quietly won 3 of their L/5 games to not go down without a fight here and get us the all important cover. TENNESSEE is 8-21 ATS L/29 against conference opponents over the last 3 seasons.Titans are 11-36-4 ATS in their last 51 vs. AFC.Titans are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games in November.Bengals are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games on grass.Bengals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings NFL Road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points like the Bengals - with a poor offense - averaging 285 or less total yards/game, after allowing 400 or more total yards in their previous game are 70-36 ATS dating back 34 seasons for a 66% conversion rate for bettors.

Lions are off a big win on Monday night football vs GB and on short rest, could easily be in a letdown spot vs a side I'm sure their not getting up for. I know Cleveland does not inspire bettors, but they are off a bye week and on fresh legs and must not be underestimated in their ability to cover this line. It must be noted that Lions are 0-6 ATs L/6 against rested opposition with a less than .500 record, and have FAILED to cover 16 of their L/23 as 8 or more point chalk. Considering 0-5 or worse NFL teams are 18-3-1 ATS L/22 in games following a bye week, I'm betting we have value with this ugly dog. So folks, please just plug your noses, hold your breath and take the points with the Browns this Sunday. NFL Road teams like the Browns - poor offensive team - scoring 17 or less points/game, after allowing 30 points or more last game are 49-19 ATS L/10 seasons for a 72%conversion rate for bettors.

11-11-17 | TCU v. Oklahoma -7 | 20-38 | Win | 100 | 111 h 30 m | Show | |
Oklahoma now 8-1 on the season showed themselves to be one of the most potent offensive teams in the Big 12 last week and maybe the nation as they went into Stillwater and took a 62-52 shootout affair vs Oklahoma State. While some teams might tank after an emotional slugfest like that I'm betting instead the Sooners will be motivated to get the win here tonight as they look to make up for a shocking loss to a Iowa State side, that they may have under estimated, back on Oct 7. A victory here for Oklahoma vs a 8-1 TCU program ,that also lost to Iowa State 14-7, will also pad their resume, as both the Sooners and Horned Frogs must still be considered outside contenders for the national championship play off. Another loss for either team and their dream is over, so this is a must win situation for both sides. Here in their own building in front of what will be a frenzied home crowd I feel the Sooners have the edge. By the way folks I respect TCU and their vaunted D a great deal, but theirs an old adage, that goes something like this . Defense wins championships , but offense win games. Whether you agree or feel this statement is irrelevant or not.... I still say- Advantage Sooners via the arm of Baker Mayfield and the nations best offensive line. OKLAHOMA is 8-1 ATS L/9 when playing against a team with a winning record , with the average margin of victory coming by an average of 16.3 ppg.OKLAHOMA is 6-0 ATS L/6 after a dominating performance - 34+ minutes TOP, 24+ First downs. TCU is 2-11 ATS L/13 in games played on a grass field, losing by an average of 9.4 ppg. CFB Home favorites like Oklahoma - in a game involving two dominant teams (outgain opponents by 1.2+ YPP), after gaining 6.25 or more yards/play in 3 consecutive games are 45-19 ATS L/10 seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors. CFB home team vs. the money line like the Sooners - an excellent offensive team (34 PPG or more ) against an excellent defensive team (16 PPG or less), after scoring 42 points or more in 2 straight games are 52-17 SU L/25 seasons with the average combined margin of victory coming by 11.5 ppg,( 33.4 to 24.7) Play on Oklahoma Sooners to cover |

Houston is off a grueling game with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night . The Cavs started slowly but meant business in that last tilt, and came back with a late surge to make it a game. The Rockets despite of looking fatigued dug deep and held off James and company for a 117-114 win. Now in a letdown spot and still a little tired, I'm betting on them coming back down to earth here vs a under rated opponent the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies (7-4) already own a pair of victories over Houston this season, and have proven they can temper the offensive explosiveness of the Rockets. This Grizz team can not only play a solid and physical brand of D, but has now implemented a faster more tenacious offensive pace, and are very dangerous to say the least. HOUSTON is 7-18 ATS L/25 in home games revenging a same season loss vs opponent. HOUSTON is 8-18 ATS L/26 in home games when playing against a team with a winning record and is 18-31 ATS L/51 as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points.

Loyola Marymount has increased their win total in each of HC Dunlaps last three seasons, and now its looks like they may be even better this season, after having added some viable three point shooters which makes them a dangerous team , especially when considering back door covers on DD lines like this . Yes their is a lack of experience, but the talent in grit is there, and must be respected. Keep an eye on Joe Quintana, and Zafir Williams two California natives who were lights out at their respective high schools. Meanwhile, Ut Arlington has been a fine hoops program the last couple of years, but 3 key guys from last year are gone, and despite of having their dynamic duo of Kevin Hervey and Eric Neal still intact. This team will need some time to jell, and 14 point favs for right now seems like stretching it a little bit , which gives us value with Loyola M to cover. Play on Loyola Marymount to cover |

Missouri has beaten up on three straight teams, two of them came against lower tier opponents UConn and Idaho, and the last time out against a Florida Gators program that looks like they have given up on their season. Previous to that they lost 4 straight against better programs , like Auburn, Georgia, Purdue, and Kentucky. Meanwhile as bad as Tennessee has been they have been competitive for the most part this season, and matchup well vs a defenseless one way Missouri squad that depends on their offense alone to win games. Only Alabama has put more than 29 points on the board in their L/8 vs the Vols ,a D that is capable of slowing down Missouri in this spot. I know old Rocky Top might not inspire bettors this season, but my own numbers and projections suggest this game is settled by a TD or less making this a viable underdog betting situation. TENNESSEE is 18-7 ATS L/25 vs. bad defensive teams who give up 31 or more points/game. Tennessee is 2-0 SU/ATS L/2 meetings in this series.

Washington despite of coming off a win vs the LA Lakers last time out has not inspired me to this point in their campaign, and especially here as DD favorites. The Wizards recently allowed 130 and 122 points in losses last week and have blown several double-digit leads this season and their body of work is of the sub par type. But here we are being asked to lay 11 or more points to back them. I know Atlanta has been a less than impressive side this season. However, with that said, they have also shown some life of late in a DD upset win vs Cleveland on the road and have covered three straight ATS and must not be underestimated in their ability to repeat the feat again vs a side that has allowed an average of more than 114 ppg at home this season. ATLANTA is 9-0 ATS L/9 in road games versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game.

11-11-17 | New Mexico +19 v. Texas A&M | 14-55 | Loss | -110 | 61 h 7 m | Show | |
Kevin Sumlin the HC of Texas A&M is in trouble. His team since their opener against UCLA , when they blew a huge 34 point lead, and than lost , has been reeling. It was obvious during the season despite of top tier recruiting, this was a team with little chemistry and focus. That was never more evident than their recent back to back home losses vs Mississippi State and Auburn by DD beat downs. Now the mood is dire to say the least, and these young men in the Texas A&M football program looked disinterested , which does not bode well for them coming into this non conference game with little meaning attached to it. I know New Mexico may not inspire many bettors with their recent performances, which includes 11 turnovers in their L/4 games, but they actually matchup well from a ATS perspective vs a side like Texas A&M. I expect the Lobos via a solid ground attack to just be happy eating clock up and here and pounding the rock , which will allow them to stay within the number. Note:TEXAS A&M is 12-29 ATS L/41 versus excellent rushing teams - averaging 230 or more rushing yards/game. In the past its not like Sumlin seems to get his team up for lower tier competition and has a history of seeing his team play down to their opponents on a consistent basis ,as this trend will point out. TEXAS A&M is 0-7 ATS L/7 vs. poor passing defenses - allowing a comp. pct. of 58% or worse is 1-8 ATS in home games vs. poor punt return teams, less than 7.5 yards per return.

USC is off two impressive wins vs two over rated Arizona teams in their L/2 trips to gridiron and now the media/pundits and linesmakers are in love with them again. I know their opponents today Colorado have not been that impressive this season with a 5-5 record, but must not be underestimated especially here in their last home game of the season.

11-11-17 | Georgia v. Auburn +3 | 17-40 | Win | 100 | 120 h 39 m | Show | |
Auburn (7-2) before this season started was high on my list of sleeper teams to fight for a national championship and nothing has changed my mind. The loss at Clemson earlier this season was a heartbreaker, and the loss vs LSU a shocker because of a lack of focus in the end half. But do not be fooled by those results as this is an extremely strong Auburn football program at the moment and they had the opportunity to win both those tilts . I know undefeated 9-0 Georgia continues to get a great deal of accolades, and are an extremely competent team with a big win vs top tier Notre Dame , but I will not be surprised if their undefeated streak comes to an abrupt end here this Saturday. Look for a hard fought tilt, that has the feel of an upset written all over it. Home field advantage will be the difference maker here.It’s a great opportunity for Auburn to climb back into the College Football Playoff conversation and expect they will play like their lives depend on it this week. Take the points. AUBURN is 13-1 ATS L/14 in home games vs. very good defensive teams who give up 14 or less points/game and is 9-1 ATS L/10 in home games vs. incredible defensive teams who give up 12 or less points/game. CFB home team vs. the money line like Auburn - an excellent offensive team (34 PPG or more) against an excellent defensive team (16 PPG or less) after 7+ games, after scoring 37 points or more in 2 straight games are 23-6 SU the L/25 seasons for a 79% conversion rate, thus getting points here based on this trend alone makes for a viable wagering opportunity.

Iowa is off a resounding 55-24 win vs Ohio State last week, and have been competitive all season long, losing by just 2 points to Penn State at home and one score ( TD losses) to Northwestern and Michigan State on the road in hard fought 17-10 defensive affairs In their only 3 losses on the campaign . With that said, I'm betting on Iowa having the defensive strength allowing just 18.1 ppg to be competitive against Wisconsin this week at just under a two TD dog. Note: IOWA is 14-4 ATS L/18 after scoring 50 points or more last game .Meanwhile, Wisconsin is off a huge beat down of Indiana last week, by a 45-17 count, but have been bad bets in the past ATS under those circumstances as they are just 0-6 ATS L/6 in home games after a win by 28 or more points and 1-9 ATS L/10 after a cover as a double digit favorite. Wisconsin is perfect so far on the season, but I'm betting if their perfect season continues it will not come without difficulties vs a under rated and under appreciated foe. IOWA is 25-5 ATS L/30 versus excellent rushing teams - averaging 230 or more rushing yards/game. Iowa has covered 6 of the L/9 meetings in this series.

After winning last years College Insider tourney thanks to some physical hard fought slow paced hoops, Saint Peters enters this season, being looked at by the pundits as a team , on the rebuild because of losing three key quality seniors. But their replacements are quality players, and I'm betting for now their not really in a rebuild mode like some might expect. Actually they may even be better this season, because they have a more athletic versatile cast and crew that can score more efficiently. Meanwhile, I know their competition LaSalle had a improved season last year , after going 9-22 the year before, and even though they have a couple of big time players on their roster, like red shirt freshman BJ Johnson 17.1 ppg , I'm not sure that s enough and their depth is a question mark for now. With that said, I'm betting we have value with the underdog side here. Take the points with St.Peters unit reg selection |

Fairfield is replacing quite a few bodies from last season, but HC Sydney Johnson leading scorer Tyler Nelson (19.5 ppg) one of the best players in the MAAC is returning, and he thinks this maybe his best team ever. Also the Stags backcourt is firmly in place and a force to be reckoned with , as Jerome Segura takes the point. This young man is quality character players and is probably the best defensive player in this conference. Needless to say this is a hoops program that deserves respect as dogs in this spot. Meanwhile, their Ivey League opponents Penn had an average reg seasons campaign last season, and great conference tournament, and are getting a ton of accolades. But this program has not had a complete winning season in 5 years, and their still a young team, that has show upward momentum again this season for me to be swayed.

My own projections make this a huge win for Ole Miss. Actually one of my biggest of the season behind an SEC team that is improving as their campaign has progressed. I'm estimating that Ole Miss wins this game by 24 plus points on a value line. LA Lafayette D , has allowed 37.4 ppg on the season against average opponents for the most part , while Ole Miss has averaged more than 42 ppg in offensive production at home. Here today I will not be surprised by a 50 point out put by the Rebs and subsequent cover vs a side that has averaged about 21 ppg in offense on the road. |

NC State are off two hard fought grueling affairs vs Notre Dame and than Clemson last week. Now deflated and in a let down situation they look vulnerable vs a rested Boston College team that is playing its best football in years.The Eagles destroyed and owned Florida State 35-3 before their bye week, beating the Seminoles for the first time since 2009 and becoming the first team to hold FSU without a touchdown since 2008 and the first to keep the 'Noles under 10 points since '09. Also N.C. State's has had problems in the past vs BC . The Wolfpack offense has also struggled vs Boston College. Considering the Wolfpack are dealing with nagging injuries to running back Nyheim Hines ( ankle injury ) and versatile back Jaylen Samuels missing plays after he was banged up in the game against Clemson, things look dire for them this week, and if they get the win it won't come easy and they won't I'm betting cover the number as road favs

Stanford despite of a 6-3 record including last weeks 24-21 loss to Washington State is a team that must be respected as home underdogs. I know their opponents Washington are highly rated, but I'm not that impressed by their resume, despite of the pundits being in love with them and feeling they deserve national play off recognition. With that said, I'm betting on a revenge minded Stanford crew that lost to Washington last season by a humiliating 44-6 score to be hell bent on pay back and knocking the Huskies off their perch. It must be noted that Washington is only 11-34 SU L/45 on the road vs above .500 foes, while the Cards are 7-0 ATS L/7 as conference home dogs, and 7-1 ATS overall as 4 or more point dogs, and an amazing 13-0 SU L/13 following a SU favorite loss with HC Shaw at the helm, including 11-0 SU/ATS L/11.Shaw is also 6-0 ATS L/6 after a loss by 3 or less points as the coach and is 8-0 ATS L/8 after 2 or more consecutive losses against the spread.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee enters into this game in the Alamo City after a hard fought controversial 124-119 loss at Cleveland on Tuesday that saw the refs penalize the Bucks twice as much as the Cavs. That set off Trevor Kidd the HC of the Bucks , as he went into a tirade about the refereeing which cost him $15000.00 fine. This Bucks team is reeling, with 4 consecutive losses but I'm betting Kidds verbal explosion, the addition of newly acquired Eric Bledsoe will motivate this team to be very competitive in this spot. QUOTE: "He's a great player, and he's a great guy, too," Bucks star Antetokounmpo said of Bledsoe. "I'm looking forward to meeting him in San Antonio.

The Utah Jazz enter into this game reeling, after losing three straight games. Their usually staunch D, has failed them, as the Jazz have allowed opponents to score an average of 116.7 points per game on 51.5 percent shooting during their losing streak. Tonight considering the Jazz defensive woes , I expect the Heat, a side that has shown some offensive explosiveness on occasion this season, as was the case last time out when they scored 115 points vs Golden State , to now use the momentum of that run and gun effort to try to take advantage of a struggling opponent, which I'm betting leads to a much higher scoring affair than the linesmakers expect. Note: (The Heat have averaged more than 102 ppg on the road this season). I'm also betting that the Heats 4th straight road game will not have them capable of playing a physical style of game, which will allow the Jazzs struggling offense to finally score above their season home average of 101.6 ppg. Over is 5-1 in Heat last 6 vs. NBA Northwest.Over is 9-0 in Jazz last 9 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Over is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings in Utah.

Two teams dealing with new faces in their roster after off season changes are currently struggling to find any rhythm. The Clippers have lost 3 straight and 5 of their L/6, while the Thunder have lost 4 straight, as the talented Carmelo Anthony brings his winning ways (PUN) over to Oklahoma City from the Knicks. All joking aside and watching the Thunder on numerous occasions this season, I have come to the conclusion the new additions George and Anthony have caused a regression in the cohesiveness of the team. Whether this is something that will continue in the long run is unclear, but for now this Thunder teams a mess, and tonight against another team desperate for a victory I'm betting we have a situation that favors the underdog getting points. OKLAHOMA CITY is 19-33 ATS L/51 versus good offensive teams - scoring 106+ points/game.Thunder are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference.Thunder are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.Underdog is 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings.

After back to back 20 win seasons LA Monroe could only squeak out 9 wins last season, but they were very competitive and suffered a lot of close losses. This season they should be much better, despite of having to replace star guard Cappola. But the new promise of bigger and better things come up front behind 6'6 Travis Munnings ( 13.2 ppg) and senior swingman Travis McDaniel.

If they can shore up their D, Wright State will be dangerous especially as dogs. This is a under rated team, and deserves my respect on this line.

Just four returning players, no seniors and two juniors and a 30 year old coach in Preston Spadlin whos mentor was Kentuckys John Calapari, and you can see those influences in the way he uses his players in multiple roles and positions, which makes his team a versatile group. He spent the offseason focusing on team development and chemistry which now makes this young group formidable as huge dogs, thanks to what I'm betting will be a never say doe attitude. Look for the back court to be a strength behind Hicks and Walker. Meanwhile, Xavier , is showing up this season with a lot of new faces, and some big scorers like Sumner are gone. As usual their a lot of talent here, but it will take time for them to jell, and until than laying this much lumber, vs a hard working side makes for a good bet against situation.

The Kings boast the NHL top D, and will give the explosive Bolts all they can handle. On the flipside, LAs improved offense will not be overly aggressive against a dangerous side, that can respond quickly in transition and will also face the prospect of going against a former King goalie , Peter Budaj, who went 27-20-3 with a 2.12 goals-against average with the Kings last season before being traded, . I'm sure new Lightning G Budaj will be primed to play vs his former team mates and will feel comfortable in this environment if he plays( which is expected).

However, according to my own cross reference matchup rankings the Wild matchup very well vs Les Canadiens. Something I also track is a teams conditioning and how they perform on a heavy schedule. My conclusion to this is that the Wild are one of the best conditioned teams in hockey, and are a perfect 4-0 after playing 4 games in 6 days and have the advantage tonight on a value moneyline.

I know Georgia Southern may not inspire bettors, but under new HC Chad Lundsford, who is 2-0 ATS, they have gradually played better ball , and considering their top tier ability to run the ball, always remain a dangerous underdog, especially vs a DD line like this.

That's not a good omen for the Blackhawks as they are 3-13 in their last 16 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game.

Golden State and Minnesota are both being looked at as offensive juggernauts and both enter this game on winning streaks. Both are explosive, but what is being over looked is both teams defenses. The Warriors have Green, the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year, on their side, and his efficiency was on display in a recent 97-80 victory over Miami on Monday that allowed Golden State to notch the win despite of failing to score 100 points for the first time this season.QUOTE: "We can play defense with anybody," Warriors backup forward Omri Casspi said after the game. "Everybody should know that." END QUOTE: Also Minnesota's D, must not be over looked either as they have not allowed any of their L/3 opponents, to breach the 99 point plateau, and must be respected in their ability to marginally slow down the potent attack of the Warriors. With that said, I'm betting on a total score that remains on the low side of the number. Note: Minnesota owns the 17th ranked pace in the league, which puts them in the lower half of the league in this important category when betting on higher totals. GOLDEN STATE is 17-4 UNDER L/21 in home games versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 3+ per game with a combined average of 198.6 ppg going on the board.

11-08-17 | Lakers v. Celtics OVER 208.5 | 96-107 | Loss | -120 | 14 h 17 m | Show | |
The Boston Celtics are the hottest team in the NBA and hitting on all cylinders, and are averaging more than 107 ppg in their L/5 on offense and go against a Lakers defense that is allowing 107 + per game this season. Today I expect the Celtics who are ranked 13th in the league in offensive rating to eclipse that average, and notch according to my own projections a combined average of 112- 116 points, and for the Lakers who rank 3rd in pace (103.3) in the league to chase in up beat fashion and hit in around 98-103 points , which according to the linemakers spread corresponds to the 8.5 point spread.
BOSTON is 12-0 OVER L/12 in home games after covering 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread NBA Home teams where the total is 200 to 209.5 like Boston - averaging 53 or more rebounds/game on the season, after 3 straight games outrebounding opponent by 5 or more are 40-11 OVER dating back dating back 5 seasons for a 79% conversion rate for bettors.

11-08-17 | Wild +130 v. Maple Leafs | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
Toronto is getting a lot of love from the media this season, because of an explosive offense, but their Achilles heel remains a defense that can be best described as erratic . Because the Leafs D, jumps into the attack so often off of transition,, they often get caught with their proverbial pants down, especially in turn over situations ,which makes them vulnerable against a team like the Wild. Actually according to my cross reference power rankings, the Wild are a team that matches up very well vs the Leafs, and offer up very good moneyline value tonight. Both teams are currently not operating with a full head of steam of late, but after watching the Buds struggle and look tired against expansion Vegas on Monday night barely pulling off the win, I'm betting their heavy schedule will effect them in this spot. Note:TORONTO is 3-11 ATS off a close home win by 1 goal and 8-21 ATS when playing 6 or more games in 10 days MINNESOTA is 16-3 ATS L/19 when playing against a team with a winning record in the first half of the season over the last 2 seasons and 7-1 ATS when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) in the first half of the season.

The Bobcats enter this game with a explosive offense that has put 40 or more points on the board in 3 straight games, and must not be underestimated at home as dogs. I know Toledo is a top tier MAC team, but they are off a grueling hard fought 27-17 win vs Northern Illinois last week and could easily be in a letdown spot here this Wednesday night and go to 1-5 ATS L/6 after taking on NIU. OHIO U is 7-1 ATS in games played on turf this season Ohio HC .Solich is 13-4 ATS L/17 vs. good teams - outscoring opponents by 10+ PPG on the season and is 5-0 SU/ATS in his L/5 home game as dog and have covered 4 straight as conference home dogs.

11-07-17 | Clippers +3.5 v. Spurs | 107-120 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 30 m | Show | |
Tonight I'm betting the Los Angeles Clippers will turn around a recent nose dive when they face the San Antonio Spurs for the first time this season on Tuesday night at the AT&T Center.The Clippers have lost 4 of their L/5 after starting their season at 4-0 and looked asleep at the proverbial wheel last time out in a 104-101 home loss to Miami on Sunday. The Clippers had a chance to win late, but missed two ugly FTs towards the end and a go ahead basket after that. Now dealing with their frustrations, I expect this Clippers group to be ready to get back on the winning track, and more importantly get us the cover against a aging and short handed Spurs side, that has had some struggles early on this season despite of a current 2 game win streak which includes a victory vs a lower tier Suns team in their last effort. The Clippers matchup well vs San Antonio and won three of the four meetings with the Spurs last season, and they have taken six of their last nine against San Antonio. NBA teams vs the money line like the Clippers - off 2 or more consecutive upset losses as a favorite against opponent off an home win scoring 110 or more points are 23-5 SU for a 82% conversion rate over the L/5 seasons. Despite of this being a valid opportunity for a outright upset I prefer and recommend we take the insurance with taking the points being offered.

11-07-17 | Oilers v. Islanders -121 | 2-1 | Loss | -121 | 12 h 48 m | Show | |
The Islanders are currently playing some of their best hockey of the young season, behind an explosive offensive lineup lead by their captain John Tavares. The Isles have punished goalies and defenses of late, scoring 6 gaols in 3 of their L/4 games, and have averaged 5 gpg in their L/7 games overall, while winning 6 of their L/8 tilts overall. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers, a team that depends way to much on their young super star McDavid to lead the way, are in offensive funk, scoring 2 goals or less in 6 of their L/8 games. and have lost 7 of their L/10 games. Needless to say these teams are currently operating at the opposite end of the proverbial performance spectrum. It must also be noted that the Oilers lost both meetings to the Isles last season with McDavid completely held off the scoring sheet. This years version of the Islanders is better/faster than last seasons group, and are playing a completely different aggressive system under new HC Doug Weight, and matchup very well against the Oilers. NYI owns a 9-0-1 L/10 record at home vs Edmonton , with the only loss coming via shootout (4-3). EDMONTON dating back to last season has not performed well against these type of teams, going just 3-14 ATS L/17 against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game. NHL Road underdogs against the money line like the Oilers - after allowing 3 goals or more 4 straight games against opponent after scoring 3 goals or more in 5 straight games are 26-87 SU for a go against conversion rate of 77% for bettors dating back 20 seasons.

11-07-17 | Bucks v. Cavs -4 | 119-124 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
The Cavaliers looked like a team destined for greater things when this season began, winning their first two games including a 116-97 victory vs todays opponent the Bucks in Milwaukee . Since than James and company have made excuses for their cohesiveness and lazy play, with James saying on a couple of occasions that the team looked winded and tired , which he said was the case in a outright DD fav loss to lowly Atlanta last time out. Right now the Cavs just don't have that winning fire, and chemistry seems a bit off , because of the use of multiple lineups, as the worlds greatest hoops player single handily James trys to carry this underperforming team on his aging back. Tonight I'm betting after their last embarrassing loss that I expect a complete team effort here from the Cavs vs a Bucks team that according to my own cross reference power rankings they matchup up well against. QUOTE: "I think guys are embarrassed, and we should be embarrassed of how we're getting beat," Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said after his team trailed by as many as 16 points against Atlanta. "Teams that we're playing, having guys out, key guys out and (us) still not being able to win. We all have to continue to keep searching and continue to keep fighting and continue to play hard." END QUOTE Pros don't like to be called out, and I expect they will respond. I know the Bucks are well rested but they have come out looking rusty in the past after a lengthy lay off and are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 3 or more days rest. James is third in the NBA in scoring at 28.8 points per game, and he is shooting a career-high 60.8 percent from the field.

The Mavericks 1-10 on the season are on a horrendous run to begin their campaign, and once again look to be at a disadvantage from a SU perspective , but according to my own numbers are viable underdogs getting 10 points here . Last season, Dallas swept the two-game series from their hosts tonight Washington and overall the franchise has won 13 of the teams' past 14 meetings in this series and I'm betting the desperate Mavs will give the Wizards all they can handle again in this spot. Meanwhile, the Wizards biggest issue to this point in the season, is a lazy defense , and with key cog John Wall at less than 100%, if he plays at all ,those issues will be compounded and once again make them shaky DD favs. Also with almost three days rest, the Mavericks will have fresh enough legs to make the Wizards work for anything they take from them tonight. Wizards are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.Wizards are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.Mavericks are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Washington. NBA Home favorites like Washington - good 3PT shooting team (36.5% or better) against a poor 3PT defense (36.5% or better), average rebounding team ( plus 3 reb / differential game) against a horrible rebounding team (5.5 reb/game or less) are 14-49 ATS the L/21 seasons for a go against 78% conversion rate for bettors.

The Suns won the first matchup in this series in New York last Tuesday, recovering from an eight-point deficit with under seven minutes remaining for their first road victory of the season. I do not really think they were the better of both teams in that game and were fortunate to get the victory. Now the Nets will try to even this series, and get some momentum back after losing four in a row. Considering how exhausted the Suns are after a whirlwind 5 game road trip that culminated in a loss at San Antonio yesterday, I'm betting they won't be quite ready to answer the bell here tonight. Asked if road fatigue might have had something to do with his teams tired looking effort in the 2nd half last night, Suns HC Triano said. QUOTE: : "Probably, a little bit. But that's one of the things we have to learn to do. This league doesn't care that it is a long road trip. No excuses. You have to be able to play every night." END QUOTE. Ready or not here come a desperate Nets team that looks at this as a winnable game and on very fresh legs as they have not played since Friday.

But the Stars have not been good bets after games like this as DALLAS is just 2-9 ATS L/11 in home games after allowing 1 goal or less in their previous game and 3-11 ATS off a home win scoring 4 or more goals and 1-9 ATS after a blowout win by 3 goals or more.Stars are also 2-9 in their last 11 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. Now enters the Winnipeg Jets a team that matches up well against Dallas, and just beat them last week , which was their 5th straight win in this series. I'm betting the Stars will be in a letdown situation after all the energy they exerted last time out, in what the players thought was a 60 minute effort. QUOTE: “I feel like this was a really good team game, probably the best 60 minutes we’ve played so far this year,” Dallas defenseman John Klingberg .

It would not have mattered which starting goalie was between the pipes tonight for the Habs or the Blackhawks, as Montreal is now on tired legs as they finish up a four game road trip and playing on back to back nights. I believe the Chicago Blackhawks are the superior of the two sides here in Chicago, no matter what the circumstances , however, and despite of having to lay some chalk I like my calculated odds of notching a win. Both goalies for Les Canadiens have been less then reliable, and the team as hole, is not in a flow is their lack of depth at center. Yes, they have gone 2-1 in their first three games of their current road trip , but they have looked far from over whelming, and were lucky to get the come from behind win vs Winnipeg last night, exerting a great deal of energy in the process. Meanwhile, the Blackhawks are off back to back shutout wins, and are beginning to peak and a viable team to back in this spot play.

The AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs head to Texas this weekend to face a Dallas Cowboys team that is 4-3 on the season, and showing a lot of inconsistencies. Tonight against the Chiefs I'm betting the home teams problems will be amplified as key offensive cog Boyz RB Elliott is expected to miss for the first time this week as he begins his six-game suspension for violation of the NFL's personal-conduct policy. Needless to say the Cowboys offense will be muted and the flip side I'm betting the D will also get slashed, as Dallas has had big problems with explosive offenses so far this season and top tier quarterbacks . The Rams' Jared Goff and the Packers' Aaron Rodgers ripped apart the Cowboys secondary in back-to-back losses a few weeks back. That's not a good omen for Dallas vs Chiefs man under center Smith, who has passed for 2,181 yards and 16 TDs with no interceptions this season. KANSAS CITY is 6-0 ATS L/6 in road games vs. good offensive teams - scoring 24 or more points/game.

With both teams operating at the opposite end of the performance spectrum, Seattle 4 straight wins - Washington 1-3 L/4/0-4 ATS, it will be an easy decision to take the home favorite at a TD or less.

11-05-17 | Hawks +12.5 v. Cavs | 117-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
The Cavaliers on the back of LeBron James snapped a 4 game losing streak last time out. The superstar notched 57 points in the 130-122 victory against the small ball Wizards. But now in an emotional letdown state I expect there will a drop off for James and for the continued inconsistencies and flow of his team mates to once again rear its ugly head. It's still early, but there looks to be chemistry issues with the Cavaliers. Now because of the Cavaliers explosion last time out and the fact they are facing a team in the midst of a 8 game losing streak, the linesmakers have attached a slightly bloated line to this tilt, giving us value with the downtrodden desperate and nothing to lose underdog. Note:( This is the biggest underdog line of the season attached to the Hawks, they only once have lost by more than 11 points and that was to Houston last time out by a 119-104 count. ) The Cavs also have a way of playing down to their competition, and are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.Cavaliers are also 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Atlanta is a different looking team with new faces, but last year they took three of the four meetings last season, including both games at Cleveland. With that said, I'm betting the Hawks coaching staff have a good blue print on how to deal with the Cavaliers, and that they stay a lot closer than the lines-makers are estimating. CLEVELAND is 0-7 ATS L/7 as a favorite this season. NBA Underdogs of 10 or more points like Atlanta - a good offensive team (98-102 PPG) against a a struggling defensive team ( 102 or more PPG), after a loss by 10 points or more are29-7 ATS for a 80% conversion rate for bettors for a 81% conversion rate.

Meet the NFL flavor of the year. LA Rams - asking price is laying 3.5 points on the road. Despite of all the giddiness surround the Rams I'm not buying into what the pundits/linesmakers are offering at this time, and feel like the price is a little steep. I know the Rams are off a bye and previous to that pitched a 33-0 shutout against Arizona, but it must be noted that a team coming off a shut out of an opponent and than are coming off a bye have failed cover 8 of the L/10 times. Meanwhile, the Gmen are also off a bye and in the past have been extremely capable playing with rest winning 6 of 7 times straight up. I know the Giants may not inspire a lot of bettors and could be in the midst of down season, but they are still in league with strong parity. Remember the old saying folks" Any given Sunday ".

Meanwhile, the offense is sputtering and have averaged just 18.5 ppg on the season, . On the flipside their opponents the Atlanta Falcons do not look as prolific offensively as they did last season, and are averaging just 21.9 ppg.

However with that said I'm betting this TB group that is 5-2 in the stats battles this season will bounce back in a big way this Sunday in the Bayou vs what I'm starting to feel maybe a over rated Saints side.

11-04-17 | Mavs +13.5 v. Wolves | 99-112 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
The question here today in this matchup of two teams supposedly operating a the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum is whether the line attached to this game matches up to some in-depth scrutiny. The guys behind the counter in Vegas and the off shore sports book industry can be quite brilliant and use a combination of scientific stats research and physiological war fare to determine the placing of certain lines, and its not always public or smart money that dictates a line move or opening number. Contrary to main stream belief there is a lot more to this game than just wanting an even amount of bets on both sides of the wager, like some pundits spout off about. With that in mind I consider Dallas to be a solid wagering option here getting points despite of what things look like on paper and in the standings. Minnesota despite of being upgraded in the off season and currently playing above .500 ball early on this season, are being over rated in my opinion because of their deficient defense ( 113.1 ppg and 114.3 ppg allowed at home) ranking them 28th out of 30 teams in the NBA. The Wolves also own a negative SRS of -1.66 ranking 21st in the league: ie Simple Rating System; a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule.The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average. Meanwhile, Dallas despite of a ugly 1-9 record are according to my own numbers closer to -9.5 dogs, here and the added digits according to my own projections based on the Mavs equally ugly -8.60 SRS (27th) and better overall D ranked 20 in the league are indicators for me of a value line. Hey guys , nothing is a sure bet , but every edge we can get against the books is important, and todays underdog recommendation backing Dallas is a viable investment option considering the implications associated with our ability to uncover small imperfections in a line for continued consistent profits over the long run! |

Dallas will want to slow down vs the run and gun Wolves, and try to slow this game down into a crawl. Dallas is averaging 97.8 points, which makes it the third-worst scoring offense. The Mavericks also own a 41.5 field goal percentage, which is the second-worst in the league , so they will have no choice but to drag this into a physical conservative affair, even against a the Wolves sub par D. I'm betting the combined score according to my projections will fall below this number. Under is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota.

11-04-17 | Central Florida v. SMU +14.5 | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 82 h 53 m | Show | |
The SMU Mustangs have come a long way and are really forming into a very capable football program with an explosive offense, that can be a menace for most teams in this nation including the red hot undefeated UCF Knights who are ranked 15th in the country . With that said, and despite of their record, I myself still have some doubts about, UCF despite of some decent wins against some pretty good teams, even though these said teams are still not of the top tier variety . Now here as 14 plus point road favs the Knights maybe getting just a bit to much love from the lines-makers considering how explosive their opponents the Mustangs can be offensively, making the home dog a viable SU or back door opportunist here in a home game that will see them and their fans sky high with enthusiasm. This place will be rocking and a upset is not out of the question and a cover a higher probability than many might think possible. UCF is 2-10 ATS L/12 as 7 or more point conference favs. CFB Underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points like SMU - after having won 4 out of their last 5 games, a good team (60% to 80%) playing a team with a winning record are 30-5 ATS L/5 seasons for a 86% conversion rate for bettors.

11-04-17 | Maple Leafs v. Blues UNDER 6 | 4-6 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
The Leafs enter this game on tired legs, as they play their 3rd road game in 5days and maybe a little bit more lethargic than usual, against a team that likes to play a type of trap system that makes flow and transition difficult for their opposition. The Blues know that the Leafs are still a dangerous offensive force even when tired, so I'm betting they pay special attention to giveaways tonight, and base most of their attacks in transition. Look for an extremely conservative/disciplined effort tonight at home for the Blues, and a total score that remains on the low side of the number. ST LOUIS is 28-12 UNDER L/40 in home games against excellent power play teams - scoring on 19% or more of their chances combining on a average of 4.7 gpg.

The Washington Capitals after last years great regular season, and than deflating loss to eventual Stanley Cup Champion Penguins, as well as some off seasons changes, has the team playing with a hang over in the early part of this season. The core of a very good Capitals teams remains, as does super star Ovechkin, and they are still a dangerous team, and must no be underestimated against a foe like the Bruins on a value line. Meanwhile, the Bruins, are side that is still trying to find an identity and no longer instill confidence in me because of their obvious depth issues behind a offense that has scored 2 or less goals in 5 of their L/10 games. Because of their lack of a consistent attack the Beantown boys remain bad bets, even against a team like the Caps who are having some problems keeping the puck out of the net this season. Note: BOSTON is 3-7 ATS L/10 in home games against lower tier defensive teams - allowing 3+ goals/game . BOSTON is 8-16 ATS in home games off a home win over the last few seasons.

Make no mistake despite of losing last week to Air Force , Colorado State are still the most explosive team in the Mountain West Conference this season, and I'm betting we see them at their very best this week in rebound mode. They have won 3 of their L/4 on the road, and actually did not look completely out of place vs Alabama in their lone road loss ( 23-41) Meanwhile, Wyoming off a huge revenger last week where they exerted a great deal of energy in a merciless DD win vs New Mexico, by a 42-3 count, could easily find themselves drained and susceptible to being beaten up on themselves this week. I mean these kids play like their hair was on fire and won't be surprised if their spent. COLORADO ST is 8-1 ATS L/9 in road games over the last 2 seasons. Road favorites like Colorado State - excellent rushing team (4.8 or more YPR) against a poor rushing team (3 to 3.5 YPR), in conference games are a long term good bet going 66-26 ATS L/10 seasons for a 72% conversion rate for bettors.

UNLV is off a huge upset win vs Fresno State last week, winning by a 26-16 count, as 21.5 underdogs. The Bulldogs looked completely drained after pulling off an upset of their own vs San Diego State the previous week, and Rebels took advantage of the situation. Now in another emotional letdown scenario I'm betting its UNLV's turn to suffer . Look for a Hawaii team that despite of struggling on offense and losing to pretty good San Diego State program ,actually did not look as bad as I thought they would, and will now be well prepared to make a game of this after a facing last weeks very physical defensive opponent. What I' saying is look for the Warriors very capable offense to tee off in a big way here , vs a D, that allowed Utah State to pound them for 52 points the week before last. UNLV is 2-13 ATS L/15 off a road win against a conference rival . CFB road team Hawaii - with an excellent offense - averaging 6.1 or more yards/play, after gaining 3.75 or less yards/play in their previous game are 23-3 ATS L/25 seasons for a 89% conversion rate for bettors.

Ole Miss might not get a lot of respect from bettors this week, as they have now lost 5 of their L/6 overall, including a 38-37 loss to Arkansas last time out, but according to my power rankings and cross reference matchup stats, the Rebs actually matchup well against this type of opponent. Meanwhile, Kentucky is off an emotional win vs long time nemesis Tennessee last week, and could easily be in a letdown state coming into this tilt vs a hungry opponent. It must also be noted that despite of their 6 wins the Wildcats have been out yarded by 106 ypg in their L/3 games and are a very over rated team at the moment. KENTUCKY is 0-7 ATS L/7 after failing to cover the spread in 4 or 5 out of their last 6 games losing SU by just under 20 ppg. OLE MISS is 10-2 ATS L/12 in road games off an upset loss as a home favorite.

Iowa State is the real deal, behind one of the better defenses in the Big 12 as they proved last week in a win vs ranked TCU by a 14-7 count as 7 point home dogs. They also proved a lot to me in that tilt, and I'm betting they still have enough fuel in the tank to slow West Virginia down this week. Meanwhile, W.Virginia despite a explosive offense are a team that lacks a solid defense, and has allowed 34, 31, 35, 36, and 50 points in their L/5 games and according to my own projections Iowa State will have a similar plus offensive out put here, which gives them a great chance for a SU upset considering how staunch their D has been. IOWA ST is 8-1 ATS L/9 vs. good passing teams averaging 8 or more passing yards/att dating back to last season.IOWA ST is 12-3 ATS L/15 after a game where they committed 1 or less turnovers .W VIRGINIA is 2-12 ATS L/14 after allowing 450 or more total yards in 2 consecutive games.

Penn States undefeated season came crashing down last week in the worst possible way, as they fell apart late and lost to Ohio State 39-38. I know a lot of pundits expect them now to come out very upset and ready to fire on all cylinders, but its never easy to get up off the proverbial matt after being body slammed and having the wind taking out you. Now in an emotional letdown scenario I expect a strong Michigan State defense to make life hard on the Lions in this spot. It must also be noted that the Spartans will also be in a big time revenge mode for being destroyed by Penn State last season by a 45-12 count. (Mich State is 9-1 SU L/10 and 11-1 ATS L/12 in Big 10 revenge tilts) PENN ST is 2-12 ATS L/14 in road games versus excellent defensive teams - allowing 285 or less yards/game .PENN ST is 0-7 ATS L/7 after 1 or more consecutive straight up losses and is 0-6 ATS L/6 off a road loss.MICHIGAN ST is 7-0 ATS L/7 in home games in the second half of the season during the last few seasons.

The goal of Miss State , is to stay healthy for their big game, and I'm betting they play down to their competition this week, while subbing in a lot of backups. Also UMass has suddenly come to life, winning two straight while compiling 1619 yards of offense in their L/3 games overall while averaging 38.3 ppg, and are a viable cover group in this spot considering the circumstances.

QUOTE: That's exactly the recipe for success Wisconsin will use once again this week vs Indiana. I know Illinois look disinterested last week in a sleepy win vs Illinois, but now after that short snooze and the season winding down and the possibility of play off spot ,you can bet they will be awake and ready to make a statement vs a Indiana side that not built to withstand the physical pounding they are going to take today behind a D, that has allowed only 12.9 ppg game. Wisconsin has owned this Indiana football program in the recent past winning 7 straight times by an average score of 58-14 and I am betting on a repeat performance is on today's agenda.

The Celtics are showing their depth and talent level after starting the season 0-2 without their newly acquired star Hayward. Since Hayward was lost for the season do to injury this team has rallied to win six straight entering the matchup with their hosts the Thunder. Boston is tied with the Orlando Magic for the best record in the NBA with a 6-2 record and must not be disrespected here as underdogs. Tonight I'm betting it will be the Celtics highly rated defense , that has held opponents to an average of 93.8 points per game to be the catalyst behind a cover against what has sometimes been an explosive yet inconsistent Thunder offense. Yes, I know the Thunder are also suddenly playing some strong D this season, but I'm still not sold on their stopping abilities against this kind of side, and I'm betting if they can come out of this with a victory it won't come easily. After three straight grueling road games, the Thunder now come home, and a lot of times teams take time to acclimated to being at home and can start slowly, which I feel will be one of their issues tonight. BOSTON is 30-16 ATS L/46 in road games versus teams who make 6 or more 3 point shots/game on the season with the average margin win or loss SU being decided by 1.8 ppg.

He matches up very well against this type of team, and I'm betting he will move the ball against a top tier Calgary team and help us get the cover here. It must be noted that the Bombers are a cover machine: WINNIPEG is 11-1 ATS L/11 when playing against a team with a winning record. WINNIPEG is 6-0 ATS L/6 in road games versus excellent passing teams with a completion pct. of 64% or better - after 9 or more games and 8-1 ATS L/9 versus good offensive teams - scoring 29 or more points/game.WINNIPEG is 7-0 ATS L/7 after playing a game at home this season.

The Jazz struggled with their offense out of the gate as they got acclimated to some new faces , and I was concerned with their cohesiveness, but now I'm beginning to see progress, behind Ricky Rubio this season. He is a career 37.8 percent shooter, but he is shooting at a 43.7 percent clip through the first eight games of the 2016-17 season and fits in very well with this group in Utah. The Jazz (5-3) have won three straight and are averaging 104 points during that run with Rubio averaging 25.3 points on 48.9 percent shooting during the winning streak. I'm expecting more of that same flow tonight, as well as staunch Jazz defense to stand tall vs a Toronto side that according to my early season power rankings is being over rated, especially on the defensive side of the ball where they showed their true abilities last time out allowing Denver to put 129 points on the board.. Another thing I noticed about the Raptors is that the presence of big man Jonas Valanciunas. seems to slow this built for speed team down , which is something I'm keeping in eye on for future bets on the Raptors. Tonight Utah has the edge as short home chalk. UTAH is a long term good bet as hosts as their 171-127 ATS record as a home favorite of 6 points or less would indicate. Raptors are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games.Jazz are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Marshall is 4-0 SU L/4 meetings in this series, and I'm betting they cover and possibly pull off a su upset here.

This is a game involving two teams that are struggling to play consistent hockey as can be seen by their records. The Sabres are currently operating at a higher level and on paper may look to be the superior side between these bottom feeders, but according to my power rankings and cross reference matchup stats, the Coyotes, match up well against the Sabres on home ice and are viable bets to get the win with goalie Antti Raanta now healthy and expected to start tonight after being cleared to play. Goaltending has been Arizona's Achilles heel thus far, and Raanta will shore things up. Add to that the ugly Coyotes are desperate and the last NHL team without a home victory this season and you have a formula for an extremely motivated effort from the host. Arizona's HC Rick Tochett is on the hot seat, and with this game being looked at by team brass as a winnable affair, he better have his group hitting on all cylinders tonight, or he'll be off the hot seat and on his way out the door. With that said, I'll recommend we take the Coyotes on the moneyline. Sabres are 1-5 in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.Sabres are 1-5 in their last 6 vs. Pacific.BUFFALO is 7-25 ATS L/32 in road games against good offensive teams - averaging 29.5+ shots on goal per game.

Buffalo has played an extreme brand of disciplined/conservative ball on the road this season and have scored an average of just 14 ppg on offense, while allowing just 15.3 ppg. They have given up some yard but have proven resilient and bend but don't break mind set. Meanwhile, the Jets have scored just 20 ppg on average and given up just 18.7 ppg. My own projections estimate both team to put between 14-20 points on the board , which gives credence to an under bet based on my estimates. note: BUFFALO in their L/50 in road games when they allow 15 to 21 points have seen average of 35.9 ppg get scored. NY JETS are in their L/103 games when they allow 15 to 21 points have seen average of 36.8 ppg go on the board.

Northern Illinois and Toledo arguably the two best teams in the MAC will go head to head this Thursday night in the Glass Bowl. Toledo has been on a roll of late winning and covering three straight, but their biggest weakness remains their defense, which was evident when they allowed Tulsa and Miami Fl 52 and 51 points respectively and I'm betting the Huskies do some damage here this week via a balanced attack, while their own staunch D that allows just 18 ppg, will slow the Rockets explosive offense enough to keep them within striking distance of outright upset here this evening. It must also be noted that NIU is 27-3 SU and 25-5 ATS L/30 on the road in MAC battles and the series visitor has not failed to cover in the L/6 confrontations.

Meanwhile, NJ has also done well with low expectations also attached to them in this seasons NHL futures markets. But my own early season assessments , were that they would not be as bad as expected .With that said, and now in a battle between these two upstarts I'm going to put my opinion on the line by backing what I believe to be the superior overall side on a underdog value line worth taking.

11-01-17 | Blazers +3.5 v. Jazz | 103-112 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
The offensive explosive Portland Trail Blazers who are averaging 107.6 points per game while presenting a consistent threat from the perimeter are a team that must be feared when getting points because of their abilities to keep games close and or just completely blow out their opponents. Yes, their has been some inconsistencies with their scoring, as was the case vs the raptors last time out only scoring 85 points, but I am expecting at some point this season, that they will ramp things up and go on a big run, maybe even starting tonight against Utah. Meanwhile, their opponents biggest problem is getting their offense in gear, which just won't be an easy feat with the type of personnel they have on the floor as they rely on their D, to keep them moving in a positive direction. As stated The Jazz D, is staunch but the offense has scored 97 or less points in 5 of their 7 games and against this type of team, their in trouble according to my cross reference matchup stats. UTAH is 1-9 ATS L/10 in home games after covering 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread .PORTLAND is 14-2 ATS L/16 after a combined score of 185 points or less ( The Blazers lost to Toronto by a 99-85 count )UTAH is 7-18 ATS L/25 when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) . NBA team vs the money line like Portland - off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a home favorite, marginal losing team from last season who won 40-49% of their games are 27-8 SU for a 77% conversion rate L/21 seasons.

11-01-17 | Raptors +2.5 v. Nuggets | 111-129 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
The Raptors are looking good and coming off an impressive 99-85 win in Portland on Monday night and once again look like viable betting options in this spot vs a Denver team coming home off a grueling 4 game eastern road trip, and now on tired legs will now take time to acclimated to being back home. That's not a good omen for their chances against a staunch Raptors D, that is playing very physical disciplined ball at the moment. Toronto is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games and get the nod here. NBA Favorites like Denver - an excellent offensive team (102 PPG or more) against a poor defensive team (98-102 PPG), after a combined score of 215 points or more 2 straight games are just 47 -93 ATS over the L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

Astros RH Lance McCullers Jr. (1-0, 2.95 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Yu Darvish (2-1, 4.15) Darvish the Dodgers starter for game 7 has served up seven homers in 24 2/3 career postseason innings, which includes his tenure with Texas and against this formidable long ball offense is very susceptible. I liked the Astros in game 6 and I'm coming right back tonight with them again.Astros are 4-0 in their last 4 interleague games vs. a right-handed starter.Dodgers are 0-5 in Darvishs last 5 starts following a team loss in their previous game. The Astros starter McCullers Jr.s is 8-1 in his last 9 starts with 4 days of rest. Road team is 8-0 in home plate Wegners last 8 games behind home plate.

DeMarcus Cousins after being named the player of the week , came out in his last game asleep at the proverbial wheel something that is not uncommon for the highly sensitive and inconsistent super star. But I'm betting he will be up for this game tonight, which makes the Pelicans a good bet here. |

World Series - Game 6 - Best of 7 - The Houston Astros hosted and defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 13-runs-12 in 10 innings and now I'm betting they take the World Series here tonight in Los Angeles. Game 6 will go to Motown's Verlander, who's 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA in five games (four starts) this postseason. He allowed three runs on two homers in six innings in Game 2. He's 9-0 with a 1.53 ERA in 10 games (nine starts) since joining Houston and is the guy I'm backing here. VERLANDER team when he starts 18-3 L/21 against the money line vs. an NL team with a team batting average of .255 or worse in his career.HOUSTON is 16-4 L/20 against the money line in road games after scoring 9 runs or more.LA DODGERS are 2-7 L/9 against the money line after a game where the bullpen was rocked for 6 or more earned runs.HOUSTON is 24-9 L/33 against the money line against NL West opponents.

10-31-17 | Thunder -1.5 v. Bucks | 110-91 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
The Oklahoma City Thunder top star Westbrook looks like he is coming to life and taking over the lead of his team, as was evident last time out as he had 12 points, 13 rebounds and 13 assists for his third triple-double of the season in a 101-69 smash down of the Bulls on Saturday in Chicago. Yes, there is other top tier talent on the Thunder, but its become obvious early on this season, that this team is at its optimal best when he leads the way. QUOTE: "That's special. He's a special player," said Paul George, Westbrook's new teammate. "He's solidifying himself early as a Hall of Famer." END QUOTE . I'm betting well rested Westbrook shows his best stuff again tonight, against a short handed Milwaukee group playing without Center Greg Monroe. MILWAUKEE is 3-12 ATS L/15 in home games after having won 3 of their last 4 games and 6-20 ATS 26 in home games after having won 2 of their last 3 games.Thunder are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central.Thunder are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 2 days rest.Bucks are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Northwest.Bucks are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.Favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

10-31-17 | Suns +4.5 v. Nets | 122-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
The Nets after looking good in the early going of their current campaign, have suddenly began a quick decent, and showed little energy in a blowout road loss Friday to the New York Knicks and then got absolutely creamed in the third quarter Sunday by the Denver Nuggets on their way to a loss. Some of the blame goes, to D'Angelo Russell who has been hampered with a nagging knee injury, and he did not play well in the last two games. Things don't look to get better here, as Russell is still not 100% and now the Nets have to deal with the loss, of Quincy Acy, who leads the team at 52.4 percent from 3-point range as he nurses a injury for the second straight tilt. Also add to that two way specialist DeMarre Carroll is also questionable for the Nets and you have a short handed group that will once again have problems finding their mojo. I know their opponents Phoenix may not instill confidence in bettors, but the Suns are looking much better since new HC Jay Triano took over and have won 2 of their L/3 and more importantly have covered all three times. Nets are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 vs. Western Conference.Nets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home.Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.Suns are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Atlantic.

10-30-17 | Broncos v. Chiefs UNDER 43.5 | 19-29 | Loss | -110 | 145 h 57 m | Show | |
Denver enters this game off getting shut out last week, as their offense continues to look horrendous on a regular basis and has not score more than 17 points since their week 1 opener. One thing they have going for them is a solid D, ranked No.2 in the NFL and more than capable of slowing down the KC Chiefs this Monday night.DENVER is 13-4 UNDER vs. good offensive teams - scoring 24 or more points/game , with the combined average score of 38.1 ppg going on the board. Meanwhile, KC comes off a higher scoring Thursday night game losing a heartbreaker to Oakland 31-30 on a last minute play.. It must be noted however, that teams off a Thursday game than playing on a Monday have seen their games stay under the total 9 of the L/10 times dating back 6 seasons and the Chiefs have gone under 9 straight times after playing the Raiders, and are 1-5 under off a Thursday game. I',m expecting this to be a defensive snooze fest that remains on the low side of the number DENVER is 6-0 UNDER L/6 off a road loss with a combined average of 34 ppg going on the board.KANSAS CITY is 8-0 UNDER L/8 in a home game where the total is between 42.5 and 45 points with a combined average of 39.1 ppg getting scored.Reid is 10-1 UNDER L/10 after scoring and allowing 30 pts or more last game with a combined average of 36.5 ppg going on the board.

Pelicans, enter this home game having won three of their past four, and will now go against a under rated Orlando Magic team that has own 4 of their 6 games this season . The Pelicans and Magic according to my own power rankings matchup very well against each other. I know the Pelicans looked really good last time out in a upset DD win vs the Cleveland Cavs , but now in an emotional let downs state I'm betting their susceptible here to being upset themselves. Note: NEW ORLEANS is 2-13 ATS L/15 off an upset win by 15 points or more as a home underdog. Pelicans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Pelicans are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Underdog is 19-6-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings.

Needless to say both teams are in red hot form. The difference maker I am betting tonight comes, via the fresher legs of the home side, as compared to the visitors who , will be wrapping up a six-game road trip on tired legs. LOS ANGELES is 1-7 ATS L/8 after allowing 1 goal or less in 2 straight games Looks like the Kings suffer from the: I don't like Mondays " syndrome.

10-30-17 | Canadiens -104 v. Senators | 8-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
The Montreal Canadians after a very slow start to their season, have won 2 of their L/3 games, and are riding a little momentum, coming in to this confrontation against the banged up Ottawa Senators. I know the Sens have done well considering all their injuries, to some of their best players, i.e defenseman Erik Karlsson, Kyle Turris, Bobby Ryan and Zack Smith, but I'm betting their luck will eventually run out, and I'm betting the downturn starts tonight. I see the biggest problems for Ottawa is on D, where they have allowed an average of 4 gpg in their L/5 tilts, and 9 goals in their L/2 in wide open undisciplined hockey. They have scored 3 goals on offense in back to back games but have had a ugly recent history after this kind of production as OTTAWA is 1-9 ATS L/10 after 2 straight games where both teams scored 3 goals or more losing these games by an average of 2 gpg and are just 4-16 ATS L/20 in home games after scoring 3 goals or more in 2 straight games.

The Celtics enter this game having won four in a row winning by a 96-90 count vs Miami last time out. The Boston D, has looked good but the offense has been choppy, and I'm betting they struggle tonight against a Spurs side that can play physical defensive hoops. Note: BOSTON is 3-16 ATS L/19 after 4 or more consecutive wins. Meanwhile, the Spurs, are off two straight losses including a 97-94 loss to the Indiana Pacers last time out. Both teams might seem like their headed in the opposite direction, but the Spurs despite of injuries to K.Leonard and T. Parker are still a veteran laden team with a lot of talent and must not disrespected, especially with one of the best coaches in the NBA on the sidelines ( Popovich). San Antonio has won 11 straight meetings since its last loss to the Celtics in 2011, with six of those victories having come at TD Garden. BOSTON is 22-42 ATS L/64 in home games against Southwest division opponents. NBA Road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points like the Spurs - good team from last season who won 60% to 75% of their games, after 1 or more consecutive losses are 41-14 ATS L/24 seasons for a 75% conversion rate.

NY Knicks behind Guard Tim Hardaway Jr. who had 34 points, and Kristaps Porzingis who finished with 31 points and 12 rebounds looked explosive in a win vs the Cleveland Cavaliers last time out. This is in my opinion a better team than they were last year with Carmelo Anthony in the lineup. There are less distractions and the pundits don't expect much from them. Which is sometimes a good thing. Tonight in top form against a Denver Nuggets team I'm betting they matchup well getting points here on their own home floor. DENVER is 9-22 ATS L/31 off a road win.

10-29-17 | Steelers v. Lions +3 | 20-15 | Loss | -110 | 124 h 50 m | Show | |
The Detroit Lions are very well rested and coming off their bye week as they prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Ford Field on Sunday night. The Lions really showed me something before their bye , never giving up and almost coming back from huge DD deficit against the Saints in New Orleans. They looked tanked in that game early on , like I expected them to be, but somehow they found the energy to make a game of it, in never say die fashion which was impressive to say the least. That tells me something about this team and I'm going to back them here tonight getting points. I know the Steelers are a fine team, but no team is infallible in the new NFL, as was the case when their stud veteran QB Roethlisberger’s threw five-interceptions in a 30-9 loss to Jacksonville, three weeks ago. Yes, I also know Matt Stafford the Lions QB , has not performed all that well of late, but with some rest I expect the gifted QB to be at his best in this spot and get us the cover even though he will only have one key downfield target in Marvin Jones as WR Golden Tate is dealing with a shoulder injury . Take the points. Lions are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week.Steelers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. NFL Home teams like the Lions - off 1 or more straight overs, a good offensive team (23-27 PPG) against a good defensive team (14-18 PPG) are 33-11 ATS L/10 L/10 years, for a 75% conversion rate for bettors. NFL teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Lions - a good offensive team (23-27 PPG) against a good defensive team (14-18 PPG), after a playing a game where 50 total points or more were scored are 25-6 L/10 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.
