10-10-13 | NY Giants v. Chicago Bears -7.5 | Top | 21-27 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 9 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SUPER-BLOWOUT" on the Chicago Bears.
The visiting New York Giants sit at 0-5 SU and ATS after a 21-36 loss to Philadelphia Eagles. Eli Manning finished 24-for-52 for 336 yards, two TDs and three INTs. Hakeem Nicks had nine receptions for 142 yards while Ruben Randle had six receptions for 99 yards and two TD scores. The Giants again could not muster up any sort of running, picking up just three rushing 1st downs, 53 rushing yards on 17 attempts. The Chicago Bears sit at 3-2 SU and 1-3-1 ATS after a second straight loss, this time 26-18 to the undefeated New Orleans Saints. Jay Culter finished 24-for-33 for 358 yards two TDs and no INTs. Alson Jeffrey had 10 receptions for 218 yards and one TD. Matt Forte added 95 total yards in the loss. At the beginning of the season this would have looked like a good matchup but at this point it |

10-10-13 | Rutgers v. Louisville -16.5 | Top | 10-24 | Loss | -110 | 106 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Louisville.
Rutgers sits at 4-1SU and 2-3 ATS after a 55-52 triple OT narrow win at SMU last week. Gary Nova finished 19-33 for 234 yards four passing TDs one rushing TD and 1 INT in the win. Justin Goodwin had 24 carries for 149 yards and two TD scores and added two receptions for 72 yards including a TD reception. The Scarlet Knights were outgained 558-to-447 in the win. The eighth ranked Louisville Cardinals sit at 4-0 SU and 3-2 ATS after a 30-7 win over Temple last week. Heisman trophy candidate Teddy Bridgwater finished the night 25-for-35 for 348 yards and two TDs. The defense held the Owls to 255 yards and gave Bridgewater plenty of shots on offense. Eli Rogers had five receptions for 74 yards and a TD. These teams know each other pretty well from old Big East conference play. Last year the Cardinals came out on top of a 20-17 game where Teddy Bridgewater was not starting. Defense was the calling card a year ago for the Scarlet Knights. This season Rutgers has shown more weakness in that area, allowing 27.6 points and 376.8 yards per game. This Cardinals team is much more potent this year and are the big favorites at home for a reason. Last week I played against the Cardinals because I felt the extra value was in a back door cover for Temple. This week the value is with the powerhouse Louisville team that will be playing its first real team on a National broadcast this year. Lay the points with Louisville which will be looking to get the massive win and make a statement. AAA |

10-07-13 | NY Jets v. Atlanta Falcons -7.5 | Top | 30-28 | Loss | -110 | 173 h 12 m | Show |
This is a 10* "PLATINUM CLUB INSIDER" on the Atlanta Falcons.
The New York Jets sit at 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS after a 13-38 loss to the Tennessee Titans last week. Geno Smith finished the game 24-for-34 with one TD and 2 INTs. Bilal Powell had 66 rushing yards on 14 carries while Kellen Winslow had 79 yards receiving. The Jets killed themselves with four turnovers in this game. The Atlanta Falcons sit at 1-3 SU and ATS after a disappointing 30-23 loss on Primetime to the New England Patriots. Matt Ryan was 34-for-54 for 431 yards, two TDS and one INT in the loss. Tony Gonzalez had 12 receptions for 149 yards, two TDs while Julio Jones chipped in with 108 yards receiving. The Falcons do not lose at home very often and are steaming mad after that loss to Patriots dropped them two games below .500 for the first time in the Mike Smith/ Matt Ryan Era. I fully expect to see the desperate Falcons to come out and handle a team they can beat bad at home or on the road. This will be the second straight road game for the Jets making this even tougher on a team that will not have its top receiver in Stephan Hill in the lineup. Lay the points with desperate Falcons at home and don |

10-06-13 | San Diego Chargers -4.5 v. Oakland Raiders | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -105 | 152 h 12 m | Show |
This is a 10* *BLOCKBUSTER* on the San Diego Chargers.
The San Diego Chargers sit at 2-2 Su and 3-1-1 ATS after a 30-21 home win over the Dallas Cowboys. Philip Rivers continued his great play, finishing 35-for-42 for 401 yards, three TDs and one INT.Antonio Gates had 10 receptions for 136 yards and one TD. Danny Woodhead had two TD receptions. The Chargers could be four if a few plays had gone their way in a few close losses. The Oakland Raiders are 1-3 SU and 2-1-1 ATS after a 24-14 loss to the Washington Redskins. Backup QB Matt Flynn finished 21-for-31 for 227 yards, one TD and one INT. Flynn was sacked seven times for a loss of 33 yards. Rashad Jennings chipped in 85 totals yards filling in for the injured Darren McFadden. Terrell Pryor is expected to make the start in this meeting with the Chargers but I think it hardly matters the way the Chargers are executing under new head coach Mike McCoy. The Chargers have won the last three meetings between these divisional opponents and have yet to lose a game ATS this season. Oakland is just 1-3 ATS as home underdog of 3.5-to-7 points the last three seasons. Take the Chargers hot offense here on the road. AAA |

10-06-13 | Houston Texans v. San Francisco 49ers -6.5 | Top | 3-34 | Win | 100 | 149 h 12 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ASSASSIN" on the San Francisco 49ers.
The Houston Texans sit at 2-2 SU and 0-3-1 ATS after a 23-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks last week. Matt Schaub finished 31-for-49 for 355 yards, two TDs and two INTs. Too bad the second INT turned into a pick six with less than three minutes remaining in the game and allowed the Seahawks to send the game in OT. Arian Foster had 107 rushing yards and caught a TD pass while Andre Johnson chipped 110 yards receiving in the loss. The Texans offense failed to score in the second half of the game. The 2-2 SU and ATS San Francisco 49ers have had 10 days off after a 35-11 win at St. Louis on Thursday night football. Colin Kaepernick completed 15 of 23 passes for 167 yards and two TD passes and Frank Gore rushed 20 times for 157 yards and a TD. Aquan Boldin had five receptions for 90 yards and a TD score in the win. The Texans are coming a devastating loss at home to Seattle and now have to play a rested San Francisco team on the road under the lights. Its |

10-06-13 | Seattle Seahawks -1 v. Indianapolis Colts | Top | 28-34 | Loss | -124 | 142 h 45 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Seattle Seahawks.
The Seahawks sit at 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS after a 23-20 OT win on the road in Houston last week. Russell Wilson finished with 123 yards passing and a touchdown, and Marshawn Lynch had with 98 yards rushing and another score. Richard Sherman had a pick six to tie the game with less than three minutes remaining the game to send it to OT where Steven Hauschka hit a 45 yard-field goal to win the game. The defense wasn |

10-06-13 | Baltimore Ravens +3 v. Miami Dolphins | Top | 26-23 | Win | 100 | 142 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Baltimore Ravens.
The Baltimore Ravens sit at 2-2 SU and ATS after a 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. The Ravens abandoned the running early as Joe Flacco finished the game 25-for-50 for 347 yards two TDs and five interceptions. Torrey Smith had five receptions for 166 yards and a TD catch. The Ravens couldn't get their offense on track even when the game was close in the first half. Baltimore managed just three first downs and 45 yards offense on its first seven possessions. The Miami Dolphins sit at 3-1 SU and ATS after a 17-38 loss to New Orleans on the road on Monday night football. Ryan Tannehill passed for 249 yards and a touchdown to Charles Clay, but his four turnovers on a fumble and three interceptions hurt Miami. Lamar Miller rushed for 62 yards and one TD in the loss. The Dolphins were up for the matchup on Monday night but got crushed by the Saints. Now Miami has to come home on a short work week and meet the defending Super Bowl champs. The Ravens didn |

10-06-13 | New England Patriots +1 v. Cincinnati Bengals | Top | 6-13 | Loss | -105 | 142 h 43 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the New England Patriots.
The New England Patriots sit at 4-0 SU and 2-2 ATS after a 30-23 road win in Atlanta last Sunday Night. Tom Brady finished 20-for-31 for 316 yards for two TDS. Little known Kenbrell Thompkins had six receptions for 127 yards and one TD. Leggarette Blount had 64 rushing yards and a one TD in the win whie Aquib Talib was essential on the defensive side of the ball batting down passes after passes in key situations. The Cincinnati Bengals sit at 2-2 SU and 2-1-1ATS after a 17-6 loss on the road to the Cleveland Browns. It was not a good day for the offense as Andy Dalton finished 23-for-42 for 206 yards no TDs and one INT. A.J Green had seven receptions for 51 yards and was shut down by Joe Hayden all game. The Patriots are surprisingly the underdog here despite being a perfect 4-0 on the season. Tom Brady and the offense looks to be getting better every week. The Patriots are 10-5 ATS in road games the past three seasons and I fully expect this to be another notch on the belt for a New England team that continues to get no respect this season. Cincinnati is just 4-7 ATS versus teams with a winning record. Yes the loss of Vince Wilfork hurts New England but this always seems to find a way to get it done with just about anyone on the roster. Take the Patriots as the underdog. AAA |

10-05-13 | Florida Panthers v. St Louis Blues -1.5 | Top | 0-7 | Win | 150 | 30 h 49 m | Show |
This is a 10* PUCK-LINE play on the St. Louis Blues.
The Florida Panthers sit at 1-0 after a opening game 4-2 road win over the Dallas Stars. Tim Thomas made 25 saves while Marcel Goc scored twice to help pace the Panthers. Brian Campbell also chipped in two assists. The St. Louis Blues also started the season off well with a 4-2 win over long time divisional foe Nashville. David Backes and Alex Steen both had a goal and an assist while Alex Pietrangelo chipped in two assists. Jaroslav Halak made 28 of 30 saves in the win. Backes has five goals in his last four meetings with the Panthers (1-0-0), including a pair of two-goal performances. Keep an eye you for David Backes who has torced the Panthers in the past. Backes has five goals in his last four meetings with the Panthers, including a pair of two-goal performances. The Blues have dominant over the years at home and I feel so confident with an easy win I am giving a goal and a half here to the Panthers who play their first real test on the road. Take the Blues on the puck-line for some good profit. AAA |

10-05-13 | Missouri +1.5 v. Vanderbilt | Top | 51-28 | Win | 100 | 145 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SUPER-BLOWOUT" on Missouri.
Missouri is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS after a 41-19 thrashing of Arkansas State last weekend. James Franklin completed 21-of-30 passed for 256 yards while throwing three TD passes. Franklin also added 33 yards on five carries and a rushing TD. Dorial-Green-Beckham had four receptions for 95 yards and two TD catches. The Tigers were sluggish for a large portion of this game but turned it on when it meant the most. Vanderbilt is 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS this season after a 52-24 beat down of UAB last week. Vanderbilt quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, completing 23-29 passes for a career high 334 yards. Jerron Seymour ran for a pair of first-half touchdowns and finished with 107 yards on 12 carries while Jordan Matthews had over 100 yards receiving in the romp. This looks to be a very tough matchup for both teams as the odds makers have it at almost a dead even heap. Last year it was Vandy who took a 19-15 win over Missouri in its stadium. I fully expect the Tigers to be revenged motivated in this game to get a win. Vanderbilt is just 1-2 ATS at home this season and has not shown me enough on a consistent basis to get backed here against a strong Missouri team. Take Missouri at almost a pick-em price. AAA |

10-05-13 | Fresno State -24 v. Idaho | Top | 61-14 | Win | 100 | 143 h 58 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on Fresno State.
The visiting 24th-ranked Fresno State Bulldogs sit at 4-0 SU but 0-4 ATS after a 42-37 win at Hawaii last week. The Bulldogs were all over Hawaii for 2 1/2 quarters, and then had to hold off the Rainbow Warriors' bid for a big comeback. Derek Carr passed for 324 yards and two touchdowns- both to Josh Harper and Marteze Waller added two rushing scores. Fresno held a 39 point lead before deciding to basically give up and allow Hawaii to score 34 unanswered points. This was a week after scoring a one point win over Boise State at home. Idaho got its first win of the season last week, taking down a struggling Temple team 26-24 to move to 1-4 SU and 2-3 ATS. Chad Chalich rushed for 114 yards and threw for 310 and a score, and freshman Austin Rehkow kicked four field goals. Fresno State hasn |

10-05-13 | Kansas State +15 v. Oklahoma State | Top | 29-33 | Win | 100 | 141 h 29 m | Show |
This is a 10* "PLATINUM CLUB INSIDER" on Kansas State.
Kansas State is 2-2 SU and ATS after a 21-31 loss to Texas on the road September 21st. John Hubert scored two touchdowns and Tyler Lockett had 13 catches for 237 yards for Kansas State. Jake Waters finished 19-for-30 for 275 yards in the loss. After converting on just 2-of-10 third downs in their season-opening loss to FCS foe North Dakota State, the Wildcats have moved the chains on 24-of-41 third-down chances. The Wildcats should be well rested after having a week off. Oklahoma State sits at 3-1 and 2-2 ATS. The Cowboys were on a roll until last weeks |

This is a 10* "ART OF THE GAME" on Virginia Tech
North Carolina is 1-3 SU and 0-3-1 ATS after a 31-55 home loss to Eastern Michigan last season. Bryn Renner finished 28-for-46 for 366 yards and three TDs and one INT. Quinshad Davis had five receptions for 111 yards one TD in the loss. The Tar Heels allowed the Pirates a whooping 603 yards of total offense. The loss made it two in row for Larry Fedora |

10-05-13 | Ball State +5 v. Virginia | Top | 48-27 | Win | 100 | 138 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SITUATIONAL DOG DESTRUCTION" on Ball State.
Ball State sits at 4-1 SU and ATS as it takes on Virginia in the final non conference game of the year for both teams. The Cardinals come in off a 31-24 win over Toledo last week. Jahwan Edwards rushed for 86 yards and three TDs including the game winning TD. QB Terrance Owens completed 34-of-46 passes for 274 yards one TD and one INT. Willie Snead chipped in seven receptions for 131 yards. Virginia is 2-2 SU and ATS after a 3-14 setback last week to Pittsburgh. Danny Watford finished just 15-of-37 for 123 yards with zero TD |

10-05-13 | Louisville v. Temple +33 | Top | 30-7 | Win | 100 | 138 h 0 m | Show |
This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on Temple.
The visiting Owls are coming off a Bye week. Temple sits at 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS after an 24-26 set-back to Idaho on September 21. Conner Reilly threw for 249 yards and one score for Temple. Harper had 11 carries for 61 yards and two touchdowns. Linebacker Tyler Matakevich came up with 24 tackles for the Owls, a school record. The Owls made a furious comeback in the second half but fell short. It was the second straight game the Owls fell short of a few points of winning a matchup. The 7th ranked Louisville Cardinals is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS this season. Louisville last saw action on the 21st as well, crushing a winless Florida International. 72-0. It was a dominant performance on both sides of the ball. Teddy Bridgewater threw four touchdown passes and Louisville's defense allowed a school-record 30 yards. Bridgewater had 212 yards on 17-of-22 passing, part of Louisville's 464-yard effort. The big win was expected for the Cardinals there but I expect a small letdown here in this game coming off a bye week. The Temple Owls come in as the large underdog after losing last year |

10-04-13 | BYU +6 v. Utah State | Top | 31-14 | Win | 100 | 123 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ASSASSIN" on BYU.
The BYU Broncos sit at 2-2 SU and ATS after a 37-10 beat down of Middle Tennessee State last weekend. Taysom Hill ran for 165 yards and two touchdowns and threw for 177 yards and made big plays all over the field. Mike Alisa chipped in with two TD runs for the Broncos who finished with 309 yards rushing and 486 yards of total offense. They limited the Blue Raiders to 212 yards in the win. Utah State is 3-2 SU and ATS after a 40-12 blowout win over San Jose State. Chuckie Keaton completed 29 of 42 passes for 260 yards for three TD passes as well as adding 52 yards and a rushing TD. Utah State had three interceptions and forced one fumble in the win. The last two meetings between these two teams have been decided by an average of three points and I expect this game to be very close as well. BYU is a perfect 8-0 ATS as the underdog the last three seasons and is 4-0 ATS versus Mountain West opponents. Take the points with BYU. AAA |

10-03-13 | UCLA -4 v. Utah | Top | 34-27 | Win | 100 | 102 h 57 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on UCLA.
The 12th ranked UCLA Bruins sit at 3-0 SU and ATS on the young season. The Bruins are well rested after bye week, having not played since September 21st 59-13 home win over New Mexico. Standout QB Brett Hundley completed 25-of-35 passes for 280 yards and three TDs and two INTs before giving away to backups in the blowout. Jordan James had 19 carries for 164 yards and two TDs. 12 different Bruin receivers had at least two receptions and double digit yards as the Bruins racked up 692 yards of offense. The Bruins will be opposed by the host Utah Utes in this meeting. Utah is 3-1 SU and ATS after a 20-13 win road win over BYU. Travis Wilson completed 24-of-35 passes for 273 yards and two TDs. Drew Anderson had eight receptions for 141 yards while James Pool added 96 rushing yards in the win. The Utes were actually outgained 443 to 402 in yards for the game despite getting the win. Utah stifled BYU's offense throughout the first half. The Cougars went 3-and-out on four possessions and crossed midfield only three times. UCLA along with Oregon makeup a couple of PAC 12 teams that are making the SEC take notice of teams out west that could really contend for a national title. The Bruins have yet to show any signs of slowing down and I don |

10-03-13 | Buffalo Bills +4 v. Cleveland Browns | Top | 24-37 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 11 m | Show |
This is a 10* "DESTRUCTION" on the Buffalo Bills.
The Buffalo Bills are 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS on the season after a 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens at home last season. It was the defense that really made the difference for the Bills, picking off Joe Flacco five times and sacking him twice in the win. Rookie QB E.J Manuel went just 10-for-22 passing for 167 yards one TD and two INTs. Rookie Robert Woods had four receptions for 80 yards and a TD in the win. The Bills racked up 203 rushing yards as a team while holding the Ravens to just 24 yards. The Cleveland Browns sit at surprising 2-2 SU and ATS after an impressive 17-6 win over Cincinnati last week. In his second start in place of injured Brandon Weeden, Hoyer finished 25 of 38 for 269 yards and no interceptions. Jordan Cameron had 9 receptions for 91 yards while Josh Gordon had four receptions for 71 yards. Mike Nugent's two field goals were all the Bengals could muster against Cleveland's swarming defense. The win made it two in a row for the Browns after trading away top running back Trent Richardson. While I am impressed with the Browns win I don |

This is a 10* play on Western Kentucky.
The visiting Western Kentucky Hilltoppers sit at 3-2 SU and ATS after a 19-7 win over Navy. Antonio Andrews run for 182 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Brian Doughty went 25-for-31 for 198 yards, no TDs and one INT. The Hilltoppers held Navy to just 162 yards while gaining 417 yards. Western Kentucky has wins over Kentucky, Morgan State and Navy while suffering setbacks to Tennessee and S. Alabama. UL Monroe is 2-3 SU and 1-3 ATS after 14-31 loss to Tulane. Kolton Browning went 12-for-27 for zero TDs and zero INT. While it was an ugly passing game for the Warhawks had 253 yards rushing. The Warhawks have lost two in a row now and have really only one good one win over Wake Forest. Western Kentucky is the better team and is coming off two straight wins. Western Kentucky is 1-0 ATS in games at UL Monroe the last few seasons. The Hilltoppers have been a spread covering machine of late and are 6-1 ATS after two consecutive straight up wins. Note that on the road, Western Kentucky is an impressive 11-2. Take the better team in Western Kentucky and lay the points. AAA |

This is a 10* "MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME OF THE YEAR" on the New Orleans Saints.
The Miami Marlins are 3-0 SU and ATS after winning its home opener last Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. Ryan Tannehill was 24-of-35 for 231 yards, two TDS and one INT. Brian Hartline had four receptions for 56 yards and one TD while Daniel Thomas added a rushing TD. Miami fell behind 10-0 and 20-10 and trailed much of the game but were still able to stay undefeated through Week 3 for the first time since 2002. The New Orleans Saints is 3-0 and 2-1 ATS after last weeks |

This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on the New England Patriots.
The New England Patriots are 3-0 and have looked to have hit its stride after a 23-3 win over the Tampa Bay Bucs last week. Tom Brady was 25 for 36 for 225 yards and two TDs. Rookie receiver Kenbrell Thompkins had two TD receptions. Aaron Dobson had seven receptions and 52 yards to lead the receiving core of the Pats. The Atlanta Falcons are 1-2 after a 23-27 loss on the road to the Miami Dolphins. Matt Ryan went 23-for-38 for 231 yards two TDs and one INT. Julio Jones was target 12 times and nine receptions for 112 yards. Falcon backs Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling combined for 139 yards rushing. There is a lot to like about both teams heading into this game as the Falcons and Pats are two of the top squads in respective conferences. The Patriots will not have Danny Amendola or Rob Gronkowski and are admittedly not the same offensive unit it was last year. That being said, the Falcons are also dealing with injuries to Roddy White and Stephan Jackson. The Patriots are a perfect 2-0 ATS the last three seasons as the underdog and it |

This is a 10* "ART OF THE GAME" on the Seattle Seahawks.
The visiting Seattle Seahawks are the toast of the town at 3-0 SU and ATS after an expected 45-17 beat down of Jacksonville last week. Seattle is allowing an NFL-best 241.7 yards per game, and its 10 forced turnovers are tied for second-most. It has given up a league-low 27 points and had three takeaways in last week's win over Jacksonville. Russell Wilson finished 14 of 21 for 202 yards and four touchdowns in just 2 1/2 quarters, hitting Zach Miller and Sidney Rice for two scores apiece. The Seahawks finished with 479 total yards after having 290 in a 29-3 win over San Francisco the previous week. The Texans are 2-1 SU and 0-3 ATS after a disappointing 9-30 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Arian Foster rushed only 12 times for 54 yards last week while Schaub finished 25 of 35 for 194 yards. Houston had 264 total yards after averaging 450.5 over its first two games. The only reason the Seahawks are not favored by more in this game is the Seahawks record on the road the past few seasons. For me the teams showed it could win with huge performances on the road during last years |

This is a 10* play on the New York Giants.
The New York Giants are 0-3 after an embarrassing 0-38 loss in Carolina to the Panthers last week. Carolina sacked Eli Manning seven times as the Panthers handed Tom Coughlin his worst defeat as coach of the New York Giants. Manning was just 12 for 23 for 123 yards for one INT. The Giants had just 150 total yards of offense in this game. The Kansas City Chiefs are 3-0 and everything is rosy so far early in the Any Reid era. The Chiefs won a Thursday night game over the Philadelphia Eagles and have had 10 days off now. Jamaal Charles had 162 yards of total offense and a rushing TD to pace the Chiefs. Alex Smith was 22-for-35 for 273 yards. The Chiefs are undefeated we know that. Still, if you watched any of their last game versus the Eagles you would know the team is far from unbeatable. The Giants are 10-5 ATS as the underdog the last three seasons and we should know to never count out a Giants football team. The Chiefs are just 1-6 ATS over that same span. Let us not get bogged down in the records and focus on this game. The Giants aren |

09-29-13 | Chicago Bears +3 v. Detroit Lions | Top | 32-40 | Loss | -115 | 69 h 11 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Chicago Bears.
The 3-0 Chicago Bears head in to Detroit looking for its first 4-0 start in seven years. The Bears beat up on the Steelers during Sunday Prime time last week 40-23. The Bears defense forced five turnovers in the game and got out to fast start. Matt Forte had 16 carries for 87 yards and a TD while Jay Cutler went 20-for-30 passing for 159 yards one TD and no INTs. The Detroit Lions are 2-1 after a 27-20 victory over Washington Redskins. Calvin Johnson had 115 yards receiving along with a TD, tying a franchise record with 34 career 100-yard receiving games. Matthew Stafford completed 25 of 42 passes for 385 yards two TDs and one INT. The Lions have been good this year but their competition has still been suspect. The Lions are just 8-12 ATS as the favorite the past three seasons. The Bears have won the last three meetings between these teams and to get them plus points is a steal. The Lions are dealing with injuries to star players Reggie Bush and Nate Burelson making this an even better deal. Grab the points with Chicago. AAA |

The Miami Hurricanes are 3-0 heading into Week 4 after a glorified scrimmage with Savannah State ending in a 77-7 win for the U. Dallas Crawford and Gus Edwards both scored three touchdowns and Miami got into the end zone on its first seven possessions. The Hurricanes never punted in the game, in which the fourth quarter was shortened to 12 minutes by mutual consent of the coaches. A preview of this team as in Week 2 where the Hurricanes won a big game with Florida, another team ranked in the AP Top 25. South Florida is 0-3 and come in as a big underdog at home home after a bye week that followed a 10-28 loss to Florida Atlantic on Sept. 14th. The struggling Bulls had Penn State transfer Steven Bench come into the game versus FAU to replace a struggling Bobby Eveld. Bench went 8-for-23 for 128 yards one TD and one INT in the loss. This game will be televised on ESPN and is likely to be a very big blowout as Miami will want to showcase it |

The visiting Utah State Aggies are 2-2 after a road loss at USC 17-13. Utah State's Chuckie Keeton completed 21 of 39 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns. He threw for 923 yards and 12 touchdowns in his team's first three games this season. Joey DeMartino rushed nine times for 72 yards. It was a tight game where the Aggies gained just 285 total yards. San Jose State Spartans are a disappointing 1-2 to start the season after a season where the team were 11-2. San Jose State were crushed 24-43 last week by Minnesota. David Fales threw for 439 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions for San Jose State. Chandler Jones had seven catches for 197 yards and three touchdowns for the Spartans, who were missing top receiver Noah Grigsby with a knee injury. The Spartans turned over the ball three times in this game and it was a killer as they actually outgained the Gophers 486-424 in total yards. Utah State demolished the Spartans a season ago, 49-27.

This is a 10* "THU NIGHT BEATDOWN" on the St. Louis Rams.
The visiting San Francisco 49ers are 1-2 after a second straight defeat last week, this time to the Indianapolis Colts, 7-27. QB Colin Kaepernick struggled for a second straight week going 13-for 27 for 127 yards no TDs and one INT. It was the second straight week Kaepnerick has failed to throw a touchdown pass. Frank Gore rushed for 82 yards on 11 carries. The 49ers have looked really poor on both sides of the ball but especially the offense which has managed 461 total yards, turned the ball over seven times and committed 18 penalties while being outscored 56-10 by Seattle and Indianapolis. The St. Louis Rams are 1-2 as well after a 7-31 loss on the road to Cowboys in Dallas. QB Sam Bradford was sacked six times while going 29- for-49 for 240 yards for one TD and zero INTs. St. Louis just could not stop the Dallas offense and allowed DeMarco Murray to rush for 175 yards and a TD on 26 carries. This 49ers are struggling for the first time with Jim Harbaugh as coach. One of the biggest reasons is injuries to key players like Vernon Davis and Patrick Willis and Michael Crabtree. Aldon Smith has given this time a bad vibe as he will miss this game due to substance abuse. The Rams were one of the few teams last year that gave the 49ers trouble going 1-0-1.

This is a 10* "RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION" on the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox will look to overcome a tough outing yesterday by sending consistent starter Jake Peavy (11-4, 4.02 ERA) to hill at Coors Field. Peavy allowed three runs over seven innings while striking out eight in a no-decision against the Orioles in his last start. Peavy is 4-6 with an ERA of 3.92 over 117 innings lifetime versus Colorado. The Rockies will counter with Jhoulys Chacin (14-9, 3.21 ERA). Chacin held the Diamondbacks to two runs over six innings in a win last Friday. Note Chacin was not at his best, he walked five in this game and was fortunate to get out of it without too much damage. The Red Sox are one of the best teams in the league this season and are 84-56 in night games this season. I expect the team bounce back from a tough loss to a less than impressive team in the Rockies last night to easily get the win here. Take the Red Sox on the Run-Line. AAA |

The 1-1 Oakland Raiders are coming off a 19-9 home victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Darren McFadden had 157 total yards while QB Terrell Pryor was 14-for 24 for 126 yards to pace the Raiders in a sloppy game you might imagine. Pryor was successful on the ground as well, rushing for 50 yards on nine carries. It was a good defensive effort by the Raiders but we have to take it with a grain of salt as it was the lowly Jaguars. The Denver Broncos are 2-0 after demolishing New York 41-23 in the Manning Bowl.

This is a 10* "KICKOFF PAYOFF" on the New York Giants.
The visiting New York Giants are 0-2 after a disappointing 23-44 blowout loss to the Broncos last week. Eli Manning was not at his best, completing 28-49 passes for 362 yards while getting intercepted four times while added just one touchdown pass. Victor Cruz had eight receptions for 118 yards while Hakeem Nicks added 83 yards receiving. The Giants were a horrible 1-11 on third downs in this game and had just 23 yards rushing on 19 attempts. The Carolina Panthers are also 0-2 after late touchdown pass by Bills QB E.J Manuel to Stevie Johnson sealed the deal on come from behind 24-23 win for the Bills. Cam Newton was 21 for 38 passing for 229 yards for two touchdowns while getting intercepted once. DeAngelo Williams had 85 yards rushing while Greg Olson had a TD and 85 yards receiving. The Panthers are now winless after two pretty dismal performances to start the season. We will give them a pass against a very tough Seattle team but something is missing on this team right now. The Giants were poor last week but were facing a very tough Broncos team. Last year it was a similar setting as both teams came into a week three meeting desperate versus each other but it was the Giants that came out on top of a huge rout in Carolina 36-7. I expect we see more of the same here as the value is very good with the Giants as the underdog. The Panthers are just 9-12 ATS as favorite the past three seasons while the Giants are 11-9 ATS as the underdog. One of these teams is moving to 0-3 and I don |

The Kansas State Wildcats will be making its first road trip of the year here as conference play opens up with a tough matchup in Texas. The Wildcats ran over UMass 37-7 in wining its second in a row. Jon Hubert ran for 118 yards on 18 carries. Jake Waters added 115 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Wildcats in a game that was over before halftime. Kansas State was upset by North Dakota State in the opener but has bounced back two easy wins. Texas is a disappointing 1-2 after two really disappointing losses to first BYU then Ole Miss last week. QB Case McCoy was 24-36 for 196 yards and one touchdown in the 23-44 loss to the Running Rebels. Jonathan Gray had 91 yards rushing and one score for the Longhorns while Jaxon Shipley added 86 yards receiving. There is a lot of negatively surrounding the Long Horns at this moment as the team started the year ranked at 15 but has since plummeted after the two big loses. I expect the team to finally bounce back here and get a win while covering a spread that is quite manageable versus a beatable Kansas State team. The Wildcats will playing their first road this season and there should be a little bit of a shock here as UT is never an easy place to play. Texas is 3-1 ATS when coming off two losses the past three seasons. This is the first of real competition for Wildcats this season and I expect it to be difficult. Lay the short points with Texas as it answers some of the critics this week. AAA |

The Boise State Broncos start Week 4 2-1 as they play under the lights at Fresno State. The Broncos are coming off a 42-20 win over Air Force last Saturday. QB Joe Southwick turned in a standout performance, completing 27-of-29 passes and one touchdown. The passing efficiency was the best in school history. Southwick also ran for a touchdown in this game as he ran for 56 yards on six carries. Matt Miller had 10 receptions for 112 yards in the win. Fresno State followed up an impressive overtime home win over Rutgers with a 41-25 tune up over Cal Poly in Week 2.

The Kansas City Chiefs will have to make the trip to Philly on this short week to face the Eagles. The Andy Reid Era has started off very well for the Chiefs as the team is 2-0, equaling its win record from all of last year. The Eagles got past Dallas by a narrow margin of 17-16 on Sunday. Alex Smith was 21-for 36 for 223 yards and two touchdowns. Jamal Charles had 103 totals yards and a touchdown while Dwayne Bowe had four catches for 55 yards and a TD. The Eagles suffered a loss for the first time this season as the secondary could not stop Philip Rivers and the offense at the end of the game and Philly is 1-1 on the year. Michael Vick had 438 yards passing and 23 rushing yards as he threw for two touchdowns and had one on the ground. DeSean Jackson had nine receptions for 193 yards and a touchdown while LeSean McCoy had 167 total yards. This is a return of Andy Reid to Philadelphia and you have to think the emotions will run high as Chip Kelly is still looking for his first home win.

San Francisco heads into hostile territory following an impressive 34-28 victory over the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 1. Second-year starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick formed instant chemistry with new wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Kaepernick showed he can do more than run, as he sat back in the pocket and completed 27-of-39 pass attempts for 412 yards and three touchdowns, including 13 completions to Boldin for 208 yards and a major score. Tight End Vernon Davis was also a standout for the 49ers, catching six passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns. Seattle started slowly before coming back to beat Carolina 12-7 on the road last week. Russell Wilson surpassed 300 throwing yards but was able to lead his team to just one touchdown. Seattle's defines was terrific, as it was for most of last season, allowing just 259 total yards of offense to the Panthers. Marshawn Lynch got off to a slow start to the season, rushing 17 times for just 43 yards. Both teams know there's a lot on the line, as they're considered top contenders to win the NFC West crown. After being blown out last year in Seattle, the 49ers will bring a much better effort as one of the NFL's finest rivalry's is renewed. Expect a close game, take the 49ers. AAA |

This is a 10* "AFTERNOON DELIGHT" on the New York Giants.
Denver was one of the most impressive teams in Week 1, as it took a convincing 49-27 victory at home over the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. Peyton Manning proved his arm strength is nothing to worry about as he tied an NFL record with seven touchdown passes, while completing 27-of-42 attempts for 462 yards and no interceptions. Manning spread the ball around, hitting Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas five times each, including a pair of touchdowns for both, and he also completed nine passes to newcomer Wes Welker. The Giants looked terrible at times, but still gave Dallas a run for it's money in a 36-31 loss last week. Eli Manning went 27-for-42 for 450 yards but had three interceptions to go along with his four touchdown passes. Running back David Wilson had a tough week, as he ran seven times for just 19 yards and also lost a pair of fumbles. Manning showed a third receiver has joined his top targets, as Reuben Randle along with Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks went over 100 yards receiving each. The Giants will be revved up for their home opener and Eli Manning will be extra motivates as he tries to beat brother Peyton for the first time in his career. The media may be all over Peyton in this game but the Giants are at home and vowed to have a better outing in this game. I am not all over the Broncos team just yet after a win at home versus a subpar Baltimore team. Expect this game to be a close one, take the Giants. AAA |

This is a 10* "SUPER-BLOWOUT" on the Buffalo Bills.
Carolina heads into Buffalo 0-1 following a disappointing 12-7 loss in it's home opener to Seattle, with Cam Newton completing 16-of-23 pass attempts for 125 yards and a touchdown. The Panthers ground game had a decent game, as DeAngelo Williams led the charge with 86 of the Carolina's 134 rushing yards. Williams did have a bit of a problem holding onto the ball, as he fumbled twice, one of which was lost. The Bills play their second straight home game to open the season after a solid effort in a 23-21 loss to New England in Week 1. Rookie quarterback E.J. Manuel completed 18-of-27 pass attempts for 150 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start. Starting running back C.J. Spiller struggled, rushing for just 41 yards on 17 carries, but Fred Jackson made up for it, as he ran for 67 yards on 13 carries. The Bills are a young team that will build off of a strong effort in their opener. Expect Buffalo to put together another solid game plan as the home team and give the Panthers defense all it can handle. Take Buffalo plus the points. AAA |

This is a 10* play on the Atlanta Falcons.
St. Louis is coming off a come-from-behind 27-24 victory at home against Arizona in Week 1 thanks to a big fourth quarter. Jared Cook caught a one-yard touchdown pass, and Greg Zurlein booted a pair of field goals, including the game-winner with 1:05 to play, as the Rams outscored the Cardinals 13-0 in the 4th to win by three. Sam Bradford had a solid game under center for St. Louis, going 27-for-38 for 299 yards, two touchdowns and an interception against a tough Arizona defense. Cook was a beast for the Rams, catching seven patches for 141 yards, including two touchdowns. Atlanta enters it's home opener following a loss in a city that has treated it poorly in the Matt Ryan era. Ryan had a strong day through the air, throwing for 304 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to earn a victory as the Falcons fell 20-17 in New Orleans. Stephen Jackson made his Falcons debut and rushed for 77 yards on 11 carries. Jackson will look to have a big day against his former team on Sunday. The Falcons have been strong at home over the past three years, going 8-8 ATS during that stretch. The Georgia Dome will be rocking and the Falcons will look to put together a big win to help get past their opening loss. Take the Falcons in what could be a potential blowout. AAA. |

This is a 10* play on the Chicago Bears.
The Minnesota Vikings are 0-1 after a opening week loss on the road in Detroit.After an explosive 78-yard run from Adrian Peterson on their first play from scrimmage, the Vikings struggled offensively in a 34-24 loss to the Lions in Detroit in Week 1. Peterson had just 15 yards on 17 carries the rest of the game, while quarterback Christian Ponder completed 18-of-28 pass attempts for 236 yards, a touchdown, and three interceptions. Jerome Simpson was massive for Minnesota's passing game, catching seven passes for 140 yards. Chicago gets the benefit of opening up the season with a second straight home game, after it beat Cincinnati 24-21 last week. Head coach Marc Trestman was victorious in his debut, with quarterback Jay Cutler throwing for 242 yards and two touchdowns, including one to top receiver Brandon Marshall. The Bears have one of the most opportunistic defenses in the league and had three turnovers in last week's victory. Chicago's ballhawks will be ready to pounce on an unsettled Vikings offense and it should make for a big win for the home team. Minnesota has the tough task of playing two games on the road to start the season while the Bears have the decided advantage of two at home. Lay the points here with Chicago. AAA |

Kansas is 1-0 after opening last Saturday at home nicely in a 31-14 win over South Dakota. The rushing attack did the majority of the damage, racking up 280 yards on 50 carries. James Sims had a strong season debut with 94 yards and two touchdowns. Darrian Miller was also impressive with 72 yards on 14 totes. It was good start for a Jayhawks team that finished last season on an 11 game losing streak. Despite the fact that South Dakota is a FCS team, the Jayhawks' defensive effort was nonetheless impressive, as the unit yielded just 286 total yards. Rice is 0-1 after a tough opening game matchup against the much talked about Texas A@M. The offense was able to keep up with the Aggies for most of the game but it was the defense that let it down in the end. The unit surrendered 486 yards and allowed Manziel to march up and down the field with ease in the second half. While Rice does have a good offense and the better overall team, I think the Owls suffer a bit of a letdown here as Kansas is in no way as sexy as a matchup than Texas A&M was. Kansas is much improved from last year |

09-14-13 | Georgia State +39 v. West Virginia | Top | 7-41 | Win | 100 | 97 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ART OF THE GAME" on Georgia State.
Georgia State is 0-2 and has struggled in its first couple seasons fielding a football team. Playing out of the Sun Belt conference this season has made things doubly as rough. Playing home games in the Georgia Dome, the Panthers first bowed to Samford in the opener by a score of 31-21 on Aug. 30, and then followed that up with a 42-14 loss versus Chattanooga this past weekend, which means they've now dropped six in a row overall. West Virginia comes in at 1-1 and has its own problems. The Mountaineers scored just 7 points in a 7-16 loss to Oklahoma. Quarterback Paul Millard remained in the pocket as he converted 21-of-41 passes for 218 yards, was picked off once and suffered a sack. The team was no world beater either in its home opener against William and Mary scoring just a 24-17 win. While West Virginia is the better team and will likely win this game at home. It is a lot to ask for a team to cover that big of spread here against an also desperate Georgia State. Grab the Points with Georgia State. AAA |

This is a 10* "SUPER-SIDE" on Louisville.
The seventh ranked Louisville Cardinal visit Kentucky in Week 3 of the season. Louisville is 2-0 after dominating its first two of games. The Cardinals beat up on Ohio 40-7 and Eastern Kentucky 44-7. QB Teddy Bridgwater has played like a Heisman candidate in the first two games, completing a ridiculous 76.7 percent of his pass attempts (46- of-60) and totaled 752 yards and nine touchdowns to just one interception. His 228.1 efficiency rating is second among quarterbacks that have played in two games this season. Bridgewater has also thrown a touchdown in 14 straight games. DeVante Paker showed up against Eastern Kentucky, receiving a pair of touchdown passes and gaining 134 yards in teh win over E. Kentucky. The Cardinals have allowed just two offensive scores, held foes to 239.5 yards per game. Meanwhile the Cardinals have converted on all seven of their own red zone chances they have only let up two scores in four chances by opponents. Kentucky out of the SEC is 1-1, bouncing back from a loss to Western Kentucky in the opener to blowout Miami Ohio 41-7. The Wild Cats use a spread offense while working two QB |

This is a 10* "SUPER-BLOWOUT" on Air Force.
The 1-1 Air Force Falcons travel to Boise State to play a big game under the lights this Friday. The Falcons are coming off a 20-52 loss to Utah State. The Falcons were paced by Jaleel Awini who, in his first career start at quarterback, threw for 61 yards and ran for a team-best 48 and a score before heading to the sidelines in the lopsided outing. Boise State bounced back from a very disappointing opening week loss to Washington by a massive steam roll of UT-Martin. QB Joe Southwick threw for 234 yards and five touchdowns in the romp over UT-Martin. Running back Jay Ajayi added a team-best 80 rushing yards and two more scores on the ground for Boise State as the team generated 220 net rushing yards and 472 yards overall during the week 2 win. Air Force got away from an effective run game and in turn got blown out by Utah State. I expect Falcons will go all out to run the ball and control this game as much as possible to avoid getting blown out and embarrassed on national tv. Boise State has already showed us it is not as strong as previously anticipated with the loss to Washington. Play Air Force plus the points. AAA |

This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on the New England Patriots.
The New York Jets come into this short work week 1-0 after surprising everyone on Sunday with a last minute field goal to beat the Tampa Bay Bucs 18-17 at home. Geno Smith made his first career start, completing 24-of 38 passes for one touchdown. Jets tight end Kellen Winslow had 79 yards and a touchdown to help the cause. The New England Patriots also won a tight game in Buffalo 23-21. Tom Brady threw for 288 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

This is a 10* play on Troy.
The 2-0 Troy Trojans will play its first game on the road here against another top team from the Sun Belt Conference in Arkansas State. The Trojans ran all over Savannah State 67-7 win to get to 2-0. Corey Robinson threw four touchdown passes and Troy racked up 531 total yards en route to a 66-3 victory over Savannah State on Saturday night. Robinson completed 17 of 19 passes and had 180 yards passing. He has now completed 47 of 51 (92%) passes this season. Arkansas State will look to bounce back after getting trounced by Auburn last week. The Red Wolves gave up 468 yards of total offense, including 301 yards on the ground. Last season the Red Wolves traveled to Troy to face the Trojans and came away with a 41-34 victory in one of the more entertaining games of the Sun Belt schedule. The Red Wolves now hold a narrow 6-5 edge on the Trojans in the all- time series. While neither team is going to have many problems scoring I this is going to be a close matchup. Offense should be plentiful in this game. Arkansas State is the only team ranked above Troy in total offense in the Sun Belt Conference (547 ypg). Even though the Red Wolves scored just nine points against Auburn, they still managed to record 422 yards of total offense. Home field is obviously on the Red Wolves side but I think Troy has had made major strides this past few seasons to get to a place where this will be a close game. Take the points in this big game.

09-12-13 | TCU -3 v. Texas Tech | Top | 10-20 | Loss | -111 | 57 h 16 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on TCU.
Big 12 play starts this Thursday with the 12th ranked TCU Horned Frogs visiting Texas Tech. The Horned Frogs are 1-1 now after bouncing back from a loss to LSU to beat SE Louisiana. The team has to come to terms with the fact that Casey Pachell is hurt and Trevone Boykin is now the starting QB. Boykin was 9-of-13 for 133 yards and two touchdowns. The Horned Frogs racked up 402 yards of offense despite not playing its best game. Texas Tech is now 2-0 after a 63- 13 romp of SF Austin. QB Baker Mayfield threw for three touchdowns and 367 yards for an offense that racked up 731 total yards. This game will be of big value to both teams as it is the start of conference play. While TCU did not play its best game in the win over SE Louisiana, they did establish Boykin as a decent replacement for Pachell and showed why the team is ranked. The Red Raiders are good but not at the same level as the Horned Frogs. TCU has played real competition in LSU while Texas Tech has yet to play any sort of challenge. Defense is likely to be a difference here as Texas Tech has allowed over 400 total yards per game against weak competition and will not get away with it here. Texas Tech won this game by three points last season so look for a revenge inspired from TCU who is the better team here this year. Lay the short points with TCU. AAA |

This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on the Arizona Cardinals.
The Cardinals are a pretty heavy underdog here on the road in the season opener against the Rams on Sunday. New coach Bruce Arians brings a new style of offense along with off season acquisition of Carson Palmer. Palmer has been brought in to solidify the QB position that has seen the likes Kevin Kolb, Jake Skelton and Matt Lienart in the past few seasons. Suffice to say, Palmer is far better option, even in his elder days. Running back Rashard Mendenhall was also brought in to bring stability to running back situation that had been ravished by injuries. The St. Louis Rams are coming off a fourth straight losing year but have a lot of cause for optimism after an impressive draft. The team brought in some serious talent at WR in Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin and stud OLB Alec Olgetree out of Georgia. This is definitely a team that can compete as it showed last season in tough games versus Seattle and San Francisco. Still, this team has a way of playing down to its opponents as we saw last season. I am not about to call them world beaters just yet and the spread is rather large for a Rams that doesn |

This is a 10* "ART OF THE GAME" on the Tennessee Titans.
The Tennessee Titans open the season on the road in Pittsburgh. The Titans were 6-10 last year both SU and ATS. The Titans worked hard at improving the offensive line this year as well as the defense that allowed 29 points per game last year. The previously suspended Greg Williams from the bounty gate scandal has been brought in put his stamp on this defense. The offensive line was helped through draft and free agency to make things easier on QB Jake Locker and running back Chris Johnson. The Steelers are coming off an injury riddled season and an off season filled with many departures. Gone is Mike Wallace, Big Ben |

This is a 10* "SUPER-DESTRUCTION" on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers start this season on the road in New York to play the Jets. The Bucs ended last season on sour note, losing five of their last six games after making some people believe the team was contenders by winning five of the previous six. The Buccaneers are powered by second year running back Doug Martin and top wide receivers in Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams. The Bucs secondary was torched most of last season and the team made one of the biggest off season acquisitions in getting Darrell Revis from these same Jets. The Jets meanwhile are once again embroiled in another QB controversy and you likely heard all about if you follow the NFL at all. Rookie Geno Smith will get the start in this game by default as Mark Sanchez was hurt in a preseason game. The Jets no longer have star corner in Darrell Revis and that is going to hurt a team that had major problems without him last year when he was sidelined. The Bucs a favorite on the road here for a good reason as there is little to like about the Jets situation. Yes the Jets are 7-0 ATS spread versus the Bucs in the last seven games but this is an entirely different situation as these teams have not even played each other the past three seasons. I expect Tampa Bay to show why it is the better team on paper and coast to an easy ATS win as it wants to get off on a winning not after such a poor end to last season. Lay the short points with Tampa Bay. AAA |

Devante Davis had 77 yards and a touchdown catch from Quarterback Nick Sherry who was 35-50 with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. Special teams were a killer as the Golden Gophers scored two touchdowns with a blocked kick and a kick return. Arizona is 1-0 after an easy 35-0 win over Northern Arizona. QB Daniel Jenkins was everywhere in this game as he racked up 139 yards rushing for a TD along with passing for a TD going for 87 yards through the air.

The 14th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish started the season off well with a 26-6 shutdown game over the Temple Owls at home. New QB Tommy Rees had an effective debut completing 16-of-23 passes for an impressive 346 yards and three touchdowns. Receiver T.J Jones had 136 yards on six catches while DeVaris Daniels had two touchdown receptions in the win as well. The running game was key for the Fighting Irish as it racked up 188 yards.

Even by its lofty standards the Florida Seminoles come off very stellar campaign, winning 12 of 14 games. This year they did pay the price for it, losing a school record 11 players to the NFL draft. Still seven offensive starters remain for this squad that is ranked 11th in the nation in preseason polls. Red Shirt freshmen Jamies Winston will take over from E.J. Manuel for the starting QB job and he still has quite a bit of talent around him in a pair of 600 plus yard rushers in Devonta Freeman and James Wilder to go with receiving threat Rasad Greene. This team is certainly going through some transition though. The Pittsburgh Panthers enter its second season under head coach Paul Chryst. Chryst has his work cut out for him as well as he losses two of his biggest playmakers from a team that went just 6-7 last year. Gone are star players in QB Tino Sunseri and rusher Ray Graham who rushed for 3,271 yards the last three seasons. This is bit of a mismatch on paper but the Pitt does have the home field advantage.

Kay threw for 1,298 yards and completed 63 percent of his passes to go with 10 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions. The Bears lose leading rusher in George Winn but you have to think that any back is going to be successful with this OL.

This is a 10* play on the Oakland Raiders.
The Oakland Raiders fell short in a fourth quarter comeback against the Chicago Bears, causing it to fall to 1-2 on the preseason. The Raiders fell behind 0-27 only to come back and get within a touchdown before ultimately falling. Quarterback Terrelle Pryor has really made things interesting in Raider nation as he put on a show against the Bears. Pryor orchestrated four scoring drives while passing for 93 yards and a TD while rushing for 37 yards and score. Matt Flynn by comparison was just 3-for-6 for just 19 yards while getting picked off twice. Head coach Dennis Allen has already been quoted in saying the loves the competition and will make a decision before the first game. Pryor is the scheduled starter in this game. The Seahawks meanwhile keep rolling along after a 17-10 win over the listless Packers to run their record to 3-0. Russell Wilson was in the game for the entire first half and part of the second, completing 11 passes on 17 attempts for 126 yards and two interceptions. Marshawn Lynch took just three carries for eight yards. Yes the Seahawks are rolling at 3-0 in the preseason but I feel this game will be a bit of a letdown spot here as the regular season just a week away. The spread is high as the Raiders |

Paul Clemens (4-4, 6.36 ERA) has been recalled from Triple A and is expected to get the start for the Houston Astros who are relying on the youngster to take the place of the injured Erik Bedard. Clemens has struggled at the major league level this season and is posting a 4.50 ERA over six starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Clemens has yet to start a game in the majors and has gone no more than three innings in any outing. Jose Quintana (7-4, 3.67 ERA) will take the rock for the Chicago White Sox. Quintana has been one of the lone bright spots for this now rebuilding Sox team. Quintana was solid in his last outing, allowing three earned runs on just four hits over seven innings worked in a tough luck no decision versus the Kansas City Royals. The White Sox have won six of the last ten starts where Quintana has started for the team. The Astros is arguably the worst team in baseball this year and are especially bad on the road. Don |

This is a 10* "ART OF THE GAME" on the San Francisco 49ers.
Vikings' star RB Adrian Peterson is expected to make his 2013 debut tonight. Suffice it to say, I don't think that matters one bit whatsoever vs. this nasty San Francisco defense. The Vikes have looked just horrible so far, losing their first two preseason games; last week starting QB Christian Ponder was just 5 of 12 for 53 yards in his team's 20-16 setback at Buffalo. While it wasn't pretty, San Francisco came away with a 15-13 win over the Chiefs last week; the defense would hold Kansas City to a paltry 170 total yards while registering seven sacks. "It bodes well," said 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh. "They've (the defense) played consistently." The first team offense is expected to see a lot more playing time today as it would see just one series of action last week; RB Frank Gore registered a massive 52-yard run in his limited time. Home field simply can't be overlooked as a distinct advantage today. With AP seeing limited action, expect the "better" side to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover; lay the points. AAA |

This is a 10* "PLATINUM CLUB SPECIAL" on the New Orleans Saints.
Both teams will enter the 2013 regular season with a ton of expectations. The Saints come into the all important preseason week 3 contest at 2-0. QB Drew Brees finished 14 of 18 for 202 yards and a TD in his team's 28-20 win over the Raiders last week. Kenny Still caught four balls for 64 yards while Nick Toon added a big 56-yard reception. "We asked them to do a lot," said Brees about his rookie WR's. "They did a great job adjusting to that and played with a lot of confidence." RB Mark Ingram had nine rushes for 30 yards and a TD. Perhaps even more impressive was New Orleans defense though which held Oakland to just 185 total yards, recorded seven sacks and also a safety. Houston also comes into this game at 2-0 after a 24-17 win over the Fish last week. QB's Matt Schaub, Case Keenum and TJ Yates had a TD apiece. However, the victory came at a price as the NFL has suspended defensive end Antonio Smith for the remainder of the preseason for ripping the helmet off Miami guard Richie Incognito. Remember, Houston has been without the services of All-Pro RB Arian Foster for the entire preseason and he isn't expected back until Game 1 of the regular. If history is any precedence, then the Saints have to be loving their chances today as these teams have met in each of the last five preseasons, with the Saints claiming three wins, including a 34-27 victory at the Superdome last August 25th. New Orleans is always a dangerous team offensively, but with the added emphasis that it's clearly been putting on the defensive side of the ball, I'm expecting an impressive performance from the visitors today. While the outright win is obviously not out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing the short points. AAA |

This is a 10* "BAIL-OUT" on the San Diego Chargers.
The Cardinals are 2-0 in the preseason under new coach Bruce Arians after a somewhat sloppy 12-7 win over the Cowboys last week. Suffice it to say, I'm expecting this team to stumble in the all important third week of the preseason vs. what I feel is the "better" club. Arizona was the beneficiary of six turnovers last week, including five in the first half. RB Rashard Mendenhall had just 32 yards on seven attempts, while WR Kerry Taylor had four catches for 85 yards. Kicker Jay Feely though was the offensive star making four of five field goal attempts. QB Carson Palmer was just 7 of 15 for 66 yards on three series; backup Drew Stanton was an unremarkable 10 of 19 for 152 yards and an INT. San Diego will look to get off the schneid today, coming into this game 0-2 under its rookie head coach Mike McCoy. The Chargers would lose a tough 33-28 battle at Chicago last week. RB Ryan Matthews had 45 yards on nine carries, while Ladarius Green caught five passes for 78 yards and a TD. Starting QB Philip Rivers was 5 of 9 for 50 yards, while Charlie Whitehurst went 9 of 13 for 97 yards and two major scores. Let's face it, these are two clubs which are likely to struggle a lot this year. But San Diego is clearly the more motivated side tonight and I like its QB rotation a lot better; expect the Chargers to do just enough to at the very least sneak away with the comfortable ATS cover.

08-24-13 | Atlanta Falcons +3.5 v. Tennessee Titans | Top | 16-27 | Loss | -120 | 118 h 2 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Atlanta Falcons.
It's time for Atlanta to get off the schneid, coming into the all important third game of the preseason sitting at 0-2 thus far. Last week the Falcons lost 27-23 to the Ravens, the backups allowing the defending champions to score 20 points in the fourth quarter. Starting QB Matt Ryan was 8 of 15 for 97 yards and a TD over four series, while Dominique Davis was 8 of 10 for 98 yards; Sean Renfree was 8 of 16 for 63 yards. WR Julio Jones had three catches for 55 yards and a TD, while RB Jacquizz Rodgers rushed 10 times for 28 yards and a major score. Tennessee is also winless, coming off another listless effort vs. the Bengals last week, eventually succumbing 27-19. Starting QB Jake Locker was 12 of 20 for 116 yards; backup Ryan Fitzpatrick was 9 of 13 for 136 yards and two TD's. Atlanta is clearly the "better" team on paper, favored as one of the top teams in the entire NFC. Tennessee has more questions than answers on both sides of the ball once again this season. The Falcons are simply too skilled and I expect to see their "A" game on the field today; while the outright win is obviously not out of the question, we're getting a "gift" here I feel with the points. AAA |

08-24-13 | St Louis Rams v. Denver Broncos -6.5 | Top | 26-27 | Loss | -110 | 118 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Denver Broncos.
After last week's 40-10 beatdown loss at the hands of Seattle last week, I fully expect the Broncos to take out their frustrations on the lowly Rams in front of the home town crowd this week (note that this is actually the preseason home opener for Denver). Starting QB Peyton Manning didn't see much playing time in that setback, but was a fantastic 11 of 16 for 163 yards a TD in the end. WR Demaryius Thomas had three catches for 52 yards, while speedy slot receiver Wes Welker had three catches for 31 yards and a major score in the setback. St. Louis is coming off a listless 19-7 loss to the Packers last week as starting QB Sam Bradford would go 8 of 12 for 155 yards. Backup QB Austin Davis connected with Nick Johnson for a 79-yard TD pass, but it was clearly not enough for the Rams to avoid an 0-2 start to their preseason campaign. There are literally so many factors working against the Rams today it's not funny; St. Louis is a "dome team" and now must play in Mile High against a hungry Denver side which was embarrassed last week and which is playing in front of the home town crowd for the first time this season. Clearly Denver is the "better" team on paper and I expect that to translate into the "better" team on the field of play today. This line should in fact be much higher in my estimation. Play on the Broncos. AAA |

08-24-13 | Cincinnati Bengals +3 v. Dallas Cowboys | Top | 18-24 | Loss | -120 | 118 h 0 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bengals are 2-0 in the preseason and I'm fully expecting this well rounded club to continue to build momentum in the all important third week. Starting QB Andy Dalton was 9 of 14 for 115 yards and a TD in his team's 27-19 victory over the Titans last week. RB's Giovani Bernard and Daniel Herron each had TD runs while Mohamed Sanu hauled in a TD pass. Cincinnati looked sharp in all three phases of the game and now faces a Cowboys team which is coming off a listless 12-7 setback in Arizona last week. While the offense did collect 342 total yards, Dallas would go on to commit six turnovers. Starting QB Tony Romo was 7 of 10 for 142 yards, while backup Alex Tanney was 14 of 19 for 136 yards, a TD and an INT; Kyle Orton had two INTs on eight pass attempts though. The Cowboys looked out of sync in every facet of the game, as Dwayne Harris, Dez Bryant and RB Lance Dunbar all fumbled the ball. Romo has yet to find the endzone and his pieces are struggling. Dalton is on fire and his weapons are already playing at an extremely high level. But this game will ultimately be decided in the trenches and on the defensive side of the ball, two areas which the Bengals clearly have the advantage today; while the outright win is obviously not out of the question, let's grab the points. AAA |

08-24-13 | Buffalo Bills +3.5 v. Washington Redskins | Top | 7-30 | Loss | -110 | 115 h 34 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SITUATIONAL MONEY-MAKER" on the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo will be without the services of rookie QB EJ Manuel. The Redskins will be without the guidance of Robert Griffin III. The third preseason game is about starting the starters for most of the contest and while that will be true in all of the other positions, it will be the backups under center for each side when this one kicks off on Saturday. Kevin Kolb will be the starter today for the Bills. Kolb was 13 of 21 for 111 yards vs. the Vikes last week. Bills' RB CJ Spiller carried the ball seven times for 27 yards in the victory, while Jerry Hughes, who was filling in for DE Mario Williams, had two sacks and forced a fumble. The big news out of Buffalo though is that it signed star safety Jairus Byrd to a tender offer; Byrd was a hold-out for nearly a month in protest of being slapped with the franchise tag, but finally relented this week. Washington beat Pittsburgh 24-13 last week; backup QB Kirk Cousins was forced to leave early in the second frame with a foot injury but has been cleared to go today. Rex Grossman was 10 of 16 for 133 yards with a TD and an INT. I'm not overly impressed with either team's starting QB rotations. This game will be won in the trenches and with special teams and I don't think that the oddsmakers are giving the Bills enough respect in this department. While the outright win is obviously not out of the question, let's grab the points. AAA |

08-23-13 | Chicago Bears -3 v. Oakland Raiders | Top | 34-26 | Win | 100 | 96 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ART OF WAR" on the Chicago Bears.
New Bears coach Marc Trestman got "off the schneid" with a 33-28 win over the Chargers last week and I'm expecting Chicago to carry that momentum over into the all important Week 3 contest in Oakland this evening. RB Matt Forte had 74-yards off eight carries, including a TD, while Michael Bush had 11 carries for 37 yards and a major score as well. Starting QB Jay Cutler was an efficient 4 of 5 for 38 yards, one TD and one INT, while Brandon Marshall would haul in four catches for 38 yards and a TD. Oakland fell 28-20 in New Orleans last week. QB Matt Flynn was 12 of 16 for 124 yards and a TD in the setback. RB Darren McFadden had a tough time vs. a Saints defense which struggled against the run last year, gaining just 17 yards on five carries. Oakland looked horrible overall basically and now faces arguably the best defensive unit in the NFL. Chicago is stacked across the line and in every position in the secondary. Conversely, the Raiders finished 31st in the league in getting to the QB a year ago and will face a stiff test in getting past this bulky bears O-line this evening. Expect Chicago to be efficient offensively and nasty defensively and to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. AAA |

08-23-13 | Seattle Seahawks -2.5 v. Green Bay Packers | Top | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 94 h 46 m | Show |
This is a 10* "SUPER-BLOWOUT" on the Seattle Seahawks.
The Hawks smashed the Broncos 40-10 last week as starting QB Russell Wilson had two TD passes; suffice it to say, I expect Seattle to carry that momentum over here. Wilson would finish 8 of 12 for 127 yards. The 'Hawks special teams were also on full display last week as Jermaine Kearse had a 107-yard kickoff return for a TD; not to be outdone, Brandon Browner returned a fumble for 106 yards for a major score as well: "I felt like we were doing things how we like to do them," said Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll afterwards. Green Bay beat the Rams 19-7 last week with starting QB Aaron Rodgers going 10 of 12 for 134 yards. The Pack would bounce back after being shutout by the Cardinals in their preseason opener. RB Eddie Lacy had 40 yards on eight carries. Seattle has suddenly become a pretty fashionable pick to win the Super Bowl this year; I'm not entirely convinced myself but definitely feel that the Seahawks will field the better squad in Lambeau today. Carroll puts a ton of emphasis on preseason games and there's none more important than the third one. Expect Seattle's swarming defense to control the pace of this contest and for Russell and company to do just enough to earn the victory. Lay the short points. AAA |

08-23-13 | Milwaukee Brewers v. Cincinnati Reds -1.5 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 50 m | Show |
This is a 10* "RUN-LINE DESTRUCTION" on the Cincinnati Reds.
Yovani Gallardo (4-4, 4.68 ERA) gets the call for the visitors; Gallardo is actually coming off a win over this very same Reds team on Saturday, returning from the DL to allow just three hits over 6 1/3 shutout frames. Gallardo has been the very model of inconsistency this year though and he'll bring his unremarkable 4-4, 4.62 ERA road record into Cincinnati to throw opposite Homer Bailey (8-10, 3.68 ERA) who is coming off a third-straight winning decision vs. the Brewers last Sunday, giving up one run off three hits with one walk while striking out eight over eight innings in his team's eventual 9-1 victory. The veteran has now allowed five earned runs over his last two combined starts. Bailey for the most part has been the very model of consistency this season and will now look to improve upon his very respectable 4-2, 3.39 ERA home record vs. this up-and-down Brewers lineup. Cincinnati lost two of three in Milwaukee last weekend, but responded by taking three of four from Arizona this week; suffice it to say, I expect the home side to avenge that series loss to the Brewers and to build off the momentum that it clearly created vs. the Diamondbacks. Coupled with what I deem to be a clear talent discrepancy on the mound, I have no problems whatsoever laying the 1.5 runs in a game which I expect to be a never in doubt laugher. AAA |

08-22-13 | Carolina Panthers v. Baltimore Ravens -3 | Top | 34-27 | Loss | -110 | 69 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ASSASSIN" on the Baltimore Ravens.
While they're 2-0 to start the season, I don't believe we'll see any drop off in intensity from the defending champions today and expect them to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover tonight. Last week Baltimore would rally and score 20 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Atlanta Falcons 27-23. Asa Jackson capped off the comeback with a 78-yard punt return. Starting QB Joe Flacco was 7 for 9 for 118 yards with one TD and one INT; backup Tyrod Taylor was 5 for 9 for 83 yards and a pair of TDs. Torrey Smith was the main recipient of all that offense, making two catches for 85 yards and a TD. "When you play you try to win," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said afterwards. "That's why they keep score. So I'm happy about that. But there are things you can correct and they have to get done if we're going to be the team that we hope to be." Carolina fell 14-9 in Philadelphia last week. Starting QB Cam Newton looked pretty shaky, going 8 of 17 for 112 yards. RB DeAngelo Williams had 12 carries for just 39 yards. It was a definite step back for the team after beating Chicago in its opener. The third week of the preseason is about getting all of the starters a chance to play for most of the game and as such, I expect the Super Bowl Champs to take care of business at home, covering the spread easily with a resounding victory in front of the home town crowd; lay the points. AAA |

08-22-13 | New England Patriots +2.5 v. Detroit Lions | Top | 9-40 | Loss | -110 | 68 h 23 m | Show |
This is a 10* "ASSASSIN" on the New England Patriots.
Both teams have enjoyed success in the preseason to this point, but with the third week on deck, they will for the most part be playing "for real" tonight and as such, I look for New England to take control from the opening kick-off until the final horn. Last week Tom Brady and the Pats would finish off the Buccaneers 25-21 as Brady was 11 for 12 for 107 yards and a TD. Next in line was QB Ryan Mallett, who had 137 yards and a major score. Danny Amendola had 71 yards on six receptions as well as a TD strike from Brady. Even Tim Tebow got in on the act, going just 1 of 7 with his passes, but rushing for 30 yards. After their Week 1 win, the Lions would stumble 24-6 in Cleveland last week. Starting QB Matt Stafford was 11 of 16 for 74 yards. RB Reggie Bush had just 15 yards on eight carries. For me this play comes down to which team I believe is the "better" overall club. Detroit would finish 4-12 in 2012, losing its final eight games of the season and while it does possess some incredibly skilled players on both sides of the ball, it simply does not have the firepower, willpower or coaching staff to keep pace with the Pats today; while the outright win isn't out of the question, grab the short points.
