12-14-19 | Army +10.5 v. Navy | Top | 7-31 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S ARMY VS. NAVY BEST BET Army has won three straight meetings with Navy, and even though the Midshipmen are expected to put an end to that losing streak this year I think they'll struggle to get separation from their opponent. Neither team is really trying to move the ball through the air, but particularly Navy is likely to end up one-dimensional with Army's defense 18th in the nation against the pass. Additionally, six of Army's seven losses this season came by single digits and we can also note that while Navy has a Bowl game on Dec. 31 to look forward to, this is Army's season finale so it will hold nothing back. 10* play on Army. |

12-12-19 | Jets v. Ravens UNDER 45.5 | Top | 21-42 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 53 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT JETS @ RAVENS *TOP PLAY* This should be a game the Baltimore Ravens will be looking to win with as little effort as possible. Star QB Lamar Jackson is dinged up, and even though he's expected to play Jackson could be heading to the bench once/if the Ravens build up a comfortable lead. After that, they can lean on their defense to get the job done. The NY Jets do not have the players to challenge elite defenses and should find it difficult to move the ball against this vaunted Baltimore defense that has allowed an average of 12 ppg through its last five contests. Under is 9-4 in Jets last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 5-1 in Ravens last 6 games as a home favorite. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-09-19 | Giants v. Eagles UNDER 45 | Top | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show |
GIANTS @ EAGLES MONDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The New York Giants have dropped eight straight since their 2-2 start to the season. They've put up a total of just 27 points through their last two games and scored just 13 against Green Bay's porous defense last time out. As for the Philadelphia Eagles, they're losers of three straight and had scored just 19 points through the first two prior to a particularly embarrassing 37-31 loss at Miami last time out. I expect the Eagles' defense to bounce back in a big way, and it should not have much to fear from a Giants' team that will have a rusty Eli Manning under center for the first time since Week 2 as rookie Daniel Jones is out with an ankle sprain. Moving the ball on the ground won't be easy against the Eagles' elite run defense, and I don't see the Giants putting many points on the board. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Chargers v. Jaguars UNDER 43.5 | Top | 45-10 | Loss | -115 | 103 h 52 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NFL): MIKE'S BEST NFL TOTAL FOR 2018/19 REG SEASON! The LA Chargers are 8-4 to the under this season. Last week's matchup at Denver saw 43 points scored between the two teams with a closing total of 39, but I'm extremely confident the total is set too high when they visit the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday afternoon. Points have been hard to come by for Jacksonville all season, but recent weeks have been particularly poor with an average of just 11.8 ppg through a four-game skid. Gardner Minshew will be back at the helm following a disastrous Nick Foles comeback, but I don't see him moving the ball freely against this competent Chargers defense that tranks 4th in the NFL against the pass with fewer than 200 passing yards allowed per game. Additionally, note that the Chargers are one of the slowest teams in the NFL taking almost 29 seconds between plays and the Jags are unlikely to push the tempo as a home dog. Under is 20-5-1 in Chargers last 26 games in December. Under is 9-2 in Jaguars last 11 home games. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-08-19 | 49ers v. Saints -2.5 | Top | 48-46 | Loss | -107 | 101 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 14 SIDE The San Francisco 49ers dropped a 20-17 decision at Baltimore last week. They've played a tough schedule in recent weeks and are just 2-2 SU over their last four games. I think they're in for another loss here against a New Orleans Saints team that has averaged over 30 ppg through a three-game winning streak since putting up just nine points in a shocking double-digit home loss to Atlanta. We can also note that the Saints will have a decent rest advantage after coasting to a 26-17 win over Atlanta on Thanksgiving Thursday last time out while the Niners spent a lot of energy battling Baltimore on Sunday. The Saints clinched a playoff spot last week, but I think they'll keep pushing the pedal to the metal to give themselves a chance to earn home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, which could be huge considering the Saints advantage in the Superdome. 10* play on New Orleans Saints. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Virginia v. Clemson OVER 54.5 | Top | 17-62 | Win | 100 | 60 h 32 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND TOTAL The Clemson Tigers will do battle with the Virginia Cavaliers in the 2019 ACC Championship Game Saturday night, but looking at the points spread it's not supposed to be much of a contest. The Tigers are favored by four touchdowns, and while scores should come easy for this very talented Clemson team, I like the Cavs to put their fair share of points on the board as well. This is the fifth game of the season as a dog for Virginia with three of the previous four going over the total. It's last time out as an underdog it put up 39 points in a straight up win over Virginia Tech as senior quarterback Bryce Perkins had another big game with 475 yards total offense and three scores. Clemson has limited its last two opponents to three points each, but Virginia has more offensive firepower than Wake Forest and South Carolina. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Baylor v. Oklahoma -8.5 | Top | 23-30 | Loss | -115 | 32 h 37 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND SIDE The Oklahoma Sooners failed to cover the spread in a 34-31 win over Baylor on November 16, but it was all due to their own doing as they allowed Baylor to jump out to a 31-10 lead at halftime. OU showed its class following the intermission as it cranked up the intensity on both sides of the football to outscore the Bears 24-0, and I think they learned their lesson and will be on their toes from the get-go in this one. In their final tune-up for the Big 12 Championship Game the Sooners defeated Oklahoma State 34-16, and while Baylor has had a terrific season I don't think this game will be even close. 10* play on Oklahoma Sooners. |
|||||||
12-05-19 | Cowboys v. Bears UNDER 43.5 | Top | 24-31 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
TOP RATED COWBOYS @ BEARS THURSDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Dallas Cowboys took a 26-15 loss to Buffalo last week and their sputtering offense has scored a total of just 24 points over the last two games. Dallas still owns the top ranked offense at 432.8 yards per game, but moving the ball against a Chicago Bears team that ranks near the top of the league for most defensive categories and has allowed an average of just 17.3 ppg on the season won't be easy. As for the Bears offense, they scare no one with only Washington, the NY Jets and Miami averaging fewer total yards of offense per game. The cold Chicago weather won't do either team's offense any favors either, and we can note that under is 13-3 in Cowboys last 16 games in December and 4-0 in Bears last 4 games in December. Additionally, the under is 5-0 in Bears last 5 games as an underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-02-19 | Vikings +3 v. Seahawks | Top | 30-37 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 4 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* VIKINGS @ SEAHAWKS MNF BOOKIE BREAKER The Seattle Seahawks enter this Monday Night Football contest with the Minnesota Vikings with a 9-2 record. Most of their games have been one-score affairs though, and while Minnesota has a tendency to come out flat in primetime games I still like the visitors to keep it close and cover the spread in this one. Minnesota will be well fresh and well-rested coming off its bye while the Seahawks might be bruised up following a physical matchup with Denver. Seattle's defense ranks 29th in the league against the pass, and Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins and receiver Stefon Diggs are clicking and synced up. Add running back Dalvin Cook to the mix and you have one of the most interesting offensive units in the league at the moment, even without injured star receiver Adam Thielen. Seahawks are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on Minnesota Vikings. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Packers -6 v. Giants | Top | 31-13 | Win | 100 | 74 h 35 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY SIDE The Green Bay Packers took a humbling 37-8 beating by San Francisco last week. Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers threw for just 104 yards on 20-of-33 passing but should have much more success against a Giants side that ranks near the bottom of the league for passing yards allowed per game and allowed a mediocre quarterback like Mitch Trubisky to put up 278 passing yards last week. The Giants have dropped seven straight and have little incentive to win games. Quite the opposite is true for the Packers who are tied with Minnesota for the lead in the NFC North. Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight-up loss. Giants are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 home games and 0-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. 10* play on Green Bay Packers. |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Titans v. Colts OVER 43 | Top | 31-17 | Win | 100 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY AFTERNOON TOTAL I expect points to come relatively easy for both teams when the 6-5 Indianapolis Colts host the 6-5 Tennessee Titans Sunday afternoon. Tennessee has scored a total of 77 points in its last two games and QB Ryan Tannehill has a 10-4 TD/INT ratio since taking over from Marcus Mariota. The Titans churned out 219 rushing yards with four scores on the ground against Jacksonville last time out, and here they'll face a Colts D that has allowed 144.2 rushing yards per game on the season. As for the Titans D, it has allowed 52 points in the last two games and the Colts will be desperate for a win after losing three of their last four. Over is 5-0 in Titans last 5 games overall. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Alabama -3 v. Auburn | Top | 45-48 | Loss | -133 | 28 h 15 m | Show |
BAMA @ AUBURN SEC BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* This Iron Bowl matchup means a ton for No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide who are trying to make a push for the College Football Playoffs. A loss to LSU has made it impossible for the Tide to reach the SEC Championship Game, so this is their last chance to impress the committee. Alabama is without QB Tua Tagovailo, but the backup, sophomore Mac Jones, has done a good enough job and the Tide can also roll on the ground. As for the No. 16 Auburn Tigers, they're just 2-3 against ranked teams on the season as quarterback Bo Nix has struggled to move the ball against elite teams. They have played an extremely tough schedule this season and took a 21-14 loss to Georgia on Nov 16, and one must wonder how much gas is left in the tank at this point. 10* play on Alabama Crimson Tide. |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Northwestern v. Illinois UNDER 41.5 | Top | 29-10 | Win | 100 | 14 h 2 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED REG SEASON TOTAL I'm confident we'll see this early Saturday afternoon matchup between the Northwestern Wildcats and the Illinois Fighting Illini stay under the total. Illinois has had a solid season by its standards, despite dropping a 19-10 decision at Iowa last week. Limiting Iowa to fewer than 20 points is quite impressive, and the Fighting Illini have played solid defense in recent weeks resulting in four of its last five going under the total. As for Northwestern, It has struggled to put points on the board all season and has averaged just 8.8 points scored away from home. That being said, the Wildcats have also allowed only 22.0 ppg on the road and the under is 4-0 in Wildcats four road games on the season. ´ 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Texas Tech +10 v. Texas | Top | 24-49 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 24 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAF): MIKE'S EARLY TEXAS TECH @ TEXAS FRIDAY *TOP PLAY* I think the bookmakers have made the No. 19 Texas Longhorns too big of a favorite here against the Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday afternoon. Texas has been a major disappointment and it has dropped three of its last four games. Last time out it took a two-touchdown loss at Baylor and it has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five games. To be fair, the Red Raiders have not been any better with just one win in their last six games, but they're on the other hand also spotted a handful of points. They've kept it close in those losses with all five by 10 points or fewer and four of them by a field goal or less. Road team is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings. 10* play on Texas Tech. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Seahawks +2 v. Eagles | Top | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 74 h 4 m | Show |
TOP RATED SUNDAY AFTERNOON SEAHAWKS @ EAGLES BEST BET The Seattle Seahawks will travel to Philadelphia rested and well prepared following their bye week. They beat the previously undefeated San Francisco 49ers on the road last time out to improve to 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS away from home on the season, and I think they'll get the win here. Sure, Philadelphia is in "must-win" mode sitting 2nd in the NFC East at 5-5 on the season, but desperation can only take you so far. QB Carson Wentz was 20-for-40 passing for 214 yards in last week's 17-10 loss to the Patriots and he was sacked five times. Philly is without its top running back, so it's up to Wentz to move the chains, and here he's supposed to outduel MVP candidate Russell Wilson? I don't think so... The Seahawks have been relentless in close games and we can also note that they're 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Eagles. 10* play on Seattle Seahawks. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Bucs v. Falcons OVER 51 | Top | 35-22 | Win | 100 | 51 h 49 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED NFL TOTAL FOR NOVEMBER The Atlanta Hawks defense has improved a lot lately and they've held their last two opponents to a combined 12 points. The Falcons are still one of the worst teams in the league against the pass and allowed a mediocre QB like Kyle Allen to throw for 325 yards last week (but also picked him off four times). Here they'll face a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that very much prefers to move the ball through the air and ranks 4th in the NFL with 285.6 passing yards per game. One of the few teams ahead of the Bucs in passing yards per game is Atlanta with its 300.3 pypg, and while Tampa Bay is one of the best teams at stopping the run, it is the second-worst in the league against the pass. I expect both teams to have plenty of success with explosive plays and a pass first, run second approach which also will stop the clock from running. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Nebraska -6 v. Maryland | Top | 54-7 | Win | 100 | 16 h 49 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (CFB): MIKE'S TOP RATED CFB SIDE 2019 The Nebraska Cornhuskers enter this contest on a four-game losing streak, but I think they'll get the job done here against a Maryland team that has lost five on the bounce and seven of its last eight. The Terps lost by just shy of 60 points at Ohio State last time out and have been held to a combined 31 points over their last three games. At 3-7, Maryland's season is over but Nebraska still has a shot to win its final two games and reach a bowl game.  The Cornhuskers failed to cover the 14.5-point spread in a 37-21 loss to Wisconsin last time out, but they put up a respectable 493 total yards, nine yards more than the Badgers. Additionally, the Cornhuskers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 10* play on Nebraska Cornhuskers. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Minnesota -13.5 v. Northwestern | Top | 38-22 | Win | 100 | 48 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 13 SIDE The Northwestern Wildcats are just 2-8 SU and ATS on the season and they're 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. They ended a seven-game skid with a 45-6 win over Massachusets last time out, but still failed to cover the 39.5-point spread. Here they'll face an angry Minnesota Golden Gophers team looking to bounce back from its first loss of the season, and I don't see the Gophers giving Northwestern a chance to hang around in this one. Note that Minnesota is averaging a healthy 35.7 ppg while Northwestern is scoring a conference-low 14.5 points per contest. Gophers by 20 would not surprise me. 10* play on Minnesota Golden Gophers. |
|||||||
11-21-19 | Colts v. Texans -3.5 | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -104 | 34 h 14 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S COLTS @ TEXANS BEST BET The Houston Texans took an embarrassing 41-7 beating by Baltimore last Sunday. I like them to bounce back in a big way here against the Indianapolis Colts Thursday night. Note that the Texans are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS loss and 16-7-1 ATS in their last 24 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. As for the Indianapolis Colts, they snapped a two-game slide with a dominant 33-13 win against Jacksonville in Week 11. Most of their damage was done on the ground as they rumbled for 264 rushing yards on 36 carries, but here it'll face a Houston team that has limited opponents to a respectable 102.2 rushing yards per game overall (86.8 rypg at home). Additionally, Houston will be looking to avenge a loss by a touchdown at Indianapolis on October 20. 10* play on Houston Texans. |
|||||||
11-18-19 | Chiefs v. Chargers +5.5 | Top | 24-17 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 17 m | Show |
MONDAY NIGHT CHIEFS VS. CHARGERS @ MEXICO CITY *TOP PLAY* The Kansas City Chiefs have dropped four of six since a perfect 4-0 start to the season. They fell 35-32 at Tennessee last week, and I think they have a difficult task at hand tonight when taking on the LA Chargers in Mexico City Monday night. The Chargers battled themselves back in postseason contention with back-to-back victories, but their dreams of a playoff berth took a hit with a narrow loss to Oakland last week. They enter this game third in the division at 4-6 (all one-score losses), with KC and Oakland ahead of them at 6-4. "I don’t think desperation ... I think urgency. Any other word you can think of ... I don’t think we feel desperate, although we know how crucial this game is." Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers told media. The Chiefs have struggled to stop the run all season long, which is good news for Chargers RB Melvin Gordon who rumbled for a season-high 108 yards and a score last week. This one is likely to go down to the wire, and I'm well happy to take the points on the Chargers. 10* play on LA Chargers. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Cardinals +11 v. 49ers | Top | 26-36 | Win | 100 | 38 h 25 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 11 SIDE The Arizona Cardinals are coming off three consecutive straight up losses, but they're 5-1 ATS over their last six games. That stretch includes a tight 28-25 home loss to the 49ers, and I like them to keep it close at San Francisco this week. The Niners fell in OT against Seattle last week, their first defeat of the season. I would not be surprised to see them come out flat here with no undefeated record to defend, and several of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's weapons are hurting. Will San Francisco bounce back with a win? Almost certainly, but I think the Niners will find themselves in a much closer game than they might expect. Cardinals are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC West. 49ers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 vs. NFC West. Underdog is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings. 10* play on Arizona Cardinals. |
|||||||
11-17-19 | Falcons v. Panthers UNDER 49.5 | Top | 29-3 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 11 TOTAL The Atlanta Falcons have allowed 28.1 ppg on the season, but their defense has been playing much better in recent weeks. Last time out they held Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints without a touchdown in a 26-9 win, and here today they will face a Carolina team that scored just 16 points at Green Bay last week. On a positive note, the Panthers defense held Aaron Rodgers to just 233 passing yards without a touchdown, and I think they'll be able to slow down the Falcons prolific passing attack. Under is 5-0 in Falcons last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Under is 19-9 in Panthers' last 28 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 9-2-1 in the last 12 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Oklahoma -10 v. Baylor | Top | 34-31 | Loss | -100 | 82 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): OKLAHOMA @ BAYLOR *BEST BET* The No. 12 Baylor Bears will be forced to putting their perfect 9-0 record on the line against the one-loss No. 9 Oklahoma on Saturday. The Sooners' lone setback was a stunning upset loss as a 23.5-point favorite at Kansas State, and while they just barely escaped with a win Iowa State last week, I think they'll be well up for this one. A win here would put Oklahoma right back in the College Football Playoff hunt, and it'll face a Baylor team that might be low on energy following last week's draining triple-OT win at TCU. I don't see Baylor being able to keep up with the best offense in college football. 10* play on Oklahoma Sooners. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Steelers +3 v. Browns | Top | 7-21 | Loss | -120 | 33 h 13 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): STEELERS @ BROWNS SIDE THURSDAY NIGHT I absolutely love the Pittsburgh Steelers as a road underdog at AFC North rivals Cleveland Browns on Thursday night football. Note that the Steelers are 10-4 ATS as an underdog dating back to the start of the 2016 season and a perfect 3-0 ATS on Thursday nights over that same timeframe. The Cleveland Browns have been arguably the most disappointing team in the NFL this season, and they had lost four on the bounce prior to last week's win over Buffalo. The Steelers have quietly won four straight and covered the spread in six of their last seven contests. They might be without their star QB, but the defense is playing at an elite level. "They (the defense) are playing like the ‘85 (Chicago) Bears," backup quarterback Mason Rudolph said following Sunday's 17-12 win over the Los Angeles Rams. "It seems like, every week, forcing turnovers every other series, it seems like." 10* play on Pittsburgh Steelers. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Cardinals v. Bucs -4 | Top | 27-30 | Loss | -115 | 99 h 0 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 10 SIDE The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost four on the bounce SU and ATS following a 40-34 OT loss at Seattle last week. There were still a lot of positives to take away from that contest as they dominated the time of possession against a top team and QB Jameis Winston threw for 335 yards and two touchdowns without a pick. Meanwhile, I think the Cardinals will come out flat here after leaving it all out on the field in a 28-25 home loss to San Francisco last week. It's the closest any team has played the Niners on the season, but it was still not quite as close as the scoreline would suggest. Arizona's defense must be bruised up after spending almost 35 minutes on the field against San Francisco, so we can expect the Bucs to have good success against an Arizona defense that has given up 407.6 yards per game. As for when Arizona has the ball, it will have to try and navigate past the best defense against the run in the NFL without its RB David Johnson, so Cardinals dual-threat QB Kyler Murray might be in for a tough one here. 10* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Ravens v. Bengals UNDER 44.5 | Top | 49-13 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 10 TOTAL The Cincinnati Bengals have put up 17, 17 and 10 points in their last three games. Under is 6-2 in their eight games on the season and I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair when they host AFC North rivals Baltimore Ravens Sunday afternoon. I would not be surprised to see Baltimore come out flat here following a massive 37-20 win over New England last week, no facing a winless Cincinnati team and with Houston on deck. The Ravens picked up a 23-17 win over the Bengals home in Baltimore on Oct. 13 with a total closing at 47 points. The books have adjusted the total somewhat for this contest, but not enough if you ask me. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-09-19 | Florida International v. Florida Atlantic UNDER 59.5 | Top | 7-37 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 11 TOTAL The over/under is 1-3 in the Florida Atlantic Owls' four home games on the season, and I think they're in for another low-scoring contest when hosting the Florida International Golden Panthers on Saturday. The under is 9-5 in Florida Atlantic's last 14 games as a favorite and they'll face a Golden Panthers team that has scored a total of just 41 points over its last two games. The visitors did hold Old Dominion to 17 points last time out, and they can achieve bowl eligibility with a victory in this game but I doubt they like their chances in a shootout. The Owls defense has conceded only a combined 27 points in their last two games and is unlikely to give up a big number here. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-09-19 | Penn State -6.5 v. Minnesota | Top | 26-31 | Loss | -115 | 73 h 5 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 11 SIDE The No. 13 Minnesota Golden Gophers are off to a perfect 8-0 start to the season, but I think their undefeated run will come to a halt when they host the also 8-0 No. 5 Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday afternoon. This will be Minnesota's second game as an underdog on the season, and while they won 38-31 as a 2-point dog at Purdue in Week 4, the Boilermakers are not nearly as dangerous of an opponent as Penn State. Note that the Nittany Lions put a 35-7 beating on Purdue the week after its loss to the Golden Gophers, and here Penn State will come off a well-deserved bye after beating Michigan and Michigan State in back-to-back weeks. Sure, Minnesota is also off its bye week, but I still think the ATS edge is with the visitors here. Penn State won 28-7 at MSU last time out and is 14-5-1 ATS in its last 20 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 12-5 ATS in its last 17 road games. Nittany Lions are 4-1-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings with Minnesota. 10* play on Penn State Nittany Lions. |
|||||||
11-08-19 | Washington v. Oregon State +10.5 | Top | 19-7 | Loss | -112 | 18 h 19 m | Show |
WASHINGTON @ OREGON STATE FRIDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* I really like the Oregon State Beavers as a home underdog to the Washington Huskies Friday night. This looks like a potential flat spot for the visitors following their matchup with No. 9 Utah last week, and they'll face an Oregon State team that has covered the spread in six of its last seven games, winnning three of those games as underdogs outright. Note that Oregon State has a sneaky good offense that has scored 28 points in six of eight games this season while turning the ball over only twice. Washington is still the superior team, but the rowdy home town crowd will keep the Beavers in this game. 10* play on Oregon State. |

11-07-19 | Chargers -119 v. Raiders | Top | 24-26 | Loss | -119 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* CHARGERS @ RAIDERS BOOKIE BREAKER The LA Chargers are right back in the playoff race following back-to-back underdog wins against Chicago and Green Bay. They're a small road favorite at Oakland Thursday night, and I think they'll make it three in a row. They've allowed a total of just 27 points during that winning streak, which can be compared to the Raiders who have surrendered 31 points per game over their last three contests. The Chargers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings and I expect their dominance over their AFC West rival to continue here. Additionally, the Chargers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games, 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games in November and 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 road games. 10* play on LA Chargers. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 9 SIDE The 3-4 Pittsburgh Steelers are coming into this contest as winners of two in a row, but I think we can all agree that it's not all that impressive to beat up on Miami and the LA Chargers. Here they'll face a very tough opponent in the 5-2 Indianapolis Colts who have won five of their last six and three in a row with quality wins over KC and Houston mixed in. The Colts have held opponents to just 16.3 ppg over a three-game stretch and the Steelers are not the greatest team moving the ball with backup QB Mason Rudolph at the helm. Additionally running back James Conner is banged up and at risk of missing this game. Note that Pittsburgh has been outgained in all but two of its games (against Miami and Cincinnati), and often by triple-digits. The Steelers will play on a relatively short week and are just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game. Additionally, the Colts are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 road games while the Steelers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on Indianapolis Colts. |

11-03-19 | Titans v. Panthers UNDER 42.5 | Top | 20-30 | Loss | -109 | 62 h 6 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 9 TOTAL The Carolina Panthers defense will be ready for this one after giving up 50+ points to San Francisco last week. Note that the over/under is 4-11 in the last 15 NFL games where one of the teams conceded 50 points or more its last game. Here Carolina will face a Tennessee Titans team that has struggled all season long and will have Ryan Tannehill under center for a second straight week after benching Marcus Mariota. Tennessee's offense is among the worst in the league averaging only 5.0 yards per play and Carolina is only marginally better at 5.2 ypp. Both teams are much more accomplished on the defensive side of the ball, and Titans run defense should be able to if not stop, at least contain Panthers' star running back Christian McCaffrey. 10* play on UNDER. |

11-02-19 | Virginia +2.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 38-31 | Win | 100 | 30 h 23 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S VIRGINIA @ UNC ACC ANNIHILATOR The Virginia Cavaliers look like a solid road dog at North Carolina as the teams battle it out for first place in the ACC Coastal division Saturday night. The Tar Heels are coming off a dramatic 20-17 win over rival Duke while Virginia came out flat to take a 28-21 loss at Louisville last week. Count on Virginia to bounce back behind its stellar defense that ranks second in the conference for yards allowed and third in scoring defense. The Cavaliers have dropped three of their last four and gave up 360 yards of offense to Louisville, but they're so much better than that result would indicate. There's a reason why they're top of the division with a 5-3 record (3-2 in the conference) while North Carolina is 2nd at 4-4 (3-2 conference record), and the Cavaliers are undervalued by bookmakers and the public after failing to cover the spread in five of their last six games.  10* play on Virginia Cavaliers. |

11-02-19 | Boston College v. Syracuse OVER 59 | Top | 58-27 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 10 TOTAL The Boston College have the worst scoring defense in the ACC giving up 32.0 ppg and the over/under is 6-2 in their eight games on the season. Their defense was lit up in a 59-7 loss to Clemson last time out and the Syracuse Orange, despite their limitations, should be able to move the ball quite freely. As for when Boston College has the ball, it averages a healthy 31.1 points per game and has the 10th best ground game in the country led by elite running back in AJ Dillon. Syracuse has allowed 160.0 rushing yards per game so expect BC to have decent success moving the ball on the ground. 10* play on OVER. |

10-31-19 | 49ers v. Cardinals UNDER 43.5 | Top | 28-25 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 23 m | Show |
TOP RATED 49ERS @ CARDINALS THURSDAY NIGHT *BEST BET* Do not let the fact that the San Francisco 49ers put up 51 points against Carolina last week scare you. They had played four straight unders prior to that offensive explosion, and I think they'll let the defense pick up the slack here when playing on a short week at Arizona Cardinals Thursday night. Arizona and rookie QB Kyler Murray had put up impressive offensive numbers against weak defenses (Cincinnati, Atlanta, NY Giants) before getting exposed by New Orleans' elite defense in a 31-9 loss last week. The Niners lead the NFL in total defense and points allowed, so points will most likely be equally hard to come by for the home team in this one. Under is 9-3 in 49ers last 12 Thursday games. Under is 7-3 in 49ers last 10 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. Under is 7-1 in Cardinals last 8 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

10-27-19 | Eagles v. Bills | Top | 31-13 | Loss | -125 | 122 h 17 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 8 ATS PICK The 5-1 Buffalo Bills didn't look all that good in their 31-21 win over Miami last week, but I think there's an obvious explanation for that with complacency likely kicking in against such an inferior opponent. They may not have covered the 17-point spread, but they did get the W which at the end of the day is all that matters, and it didn't look like they had to spend a lot of energy earning it. The 3-4 Philadelphia Eagles on the other hand are coming off back-to-back draining road losses at Minnesota and Dallas, and they were badly outmatched in Sunday's 37-10 loss as a 3-point underdog to the Cowboys. Philly QB Carson Wentz completed only 16-of-26 passes for 191 yards with a TD and an INT, and here he'll come up against arguably the best defense in the league. While Buffalo isn't scoring all that many points (20.2 ppg), the Eagles defense has been atrocious lately and has given up 31.5 ppg in four road games. It's a short trip for the Eagles this time, but it is nonetheless a third straight road game and I think Buffalo's D and the hostile environment at New Era Field will be too much for the visitors to overcome. 10* play on Buffalo Bills. |

10-26-19 | Texas v. TCU | Top | 27-37 | Loss | -110 | 77 h 49 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TEXAS @ TCU BEST BET The Texas Longhorns are 5-2 on the season with losses to LSU and Oklahoma. No shame in that, and I like them as a small road favorite against a TCU team that is coming off back-to-back road losses at Iowa State and Kansas State. Sure, the Horned Frogs had a bye week in between, but the losses mean that they're now just 3-3 on the season. The Horned Frogs own the conference’s No. 1-ranked defense and have allowed just 181.0 passing yards per game, but here they'll be asked to slow down Texas QB Sam Ehlinger who has thrown for 210 yards or more in every game and has a 21/3 TD/INT ratio. Ehlinger is coming off a 399 passing yards performance with four touchdowns and one interception in a 50-48 win over Kansas. TCU meanwhile prefers to move the ball on the ground, but while Texas rush defense (or defense overall) is far from the best in the nation I just don't see TCU being able to keep pace with the Longhorns explosive offense. Longhorns are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games in October. Horned Frogs are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games in October. 10* play on Texas Longhorns. |

10-24-19 | Redskins v. Vikings UNDER 42 | Top | 9-19 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED REDSKINS @ VIKINGS TOTAL I think we'll see a low-scoring affair when the Minnesota Vikings host the Washington Redskins Thursday night. The Vikes have been putting up impressive offensive numbers in recent weeks, but QB Kirk Cousins has a tendency to do worse in primetime games and this should be no exception playing on a short week. There will simply be no reason for Minnesota to run up the score against a hapless Redskins team so the main focus (apart from getting the W) should be to come out of this contest as healthy as possible. Expect Minnesota to take a healthy lead and then bleed the clock dry on every possession. Under is 9-4 in Vikings last 13 games overall and 5-1 in their 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 4-0 in Redskins last 4 games overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

PATRIOTS @ JETS MONDAY NIGHT AFC EAST SHOWDOWN *TOP PLAY*
We can however note that Darnold threw for just 175 yards and was sacked four times when he faced the Bills elite defense in his only other start this season on September 9. The Pats D is right up there with Buffalo's ranking near the top of the league in several defensive categories and the Jets left Gilette Stadium without an offensive touchdown in a 30-14 loss a couple of weeks ago. Under is 9-0 in Patriots last 9 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 6-1 in the last 7 meetings and keep in mind that the Jets rank dead last in tempo taking almost 31 seconds per play. 10* play on UNDER. |

10-20-19 | Jaguars -3 v. Bengals | Top | 27-17 | Win | 100 | 144 h 17 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S BEST SIDE FOR OCTOBER The Cincinnati Bengals managed to cover the 10-point spread in a loss at division rival Baltimore with a late touchdown last week. They're however 1-7 ATS following a loss to a division rival over the last three seasons and I think they'll come up well short in this contest. Here they will be facing an angry Jacksonville team coming off a tough home loss to New Orleans. The setback meant that Jacksonville dropped 2-4 on the season, and it does not have the luxury of looking past 0-6 teams like the Bengals. While Jax struggled to move the ball against a feisty Saints defense, that should not be an issue here against a Bengals team that is one of the worst in the NFL giving up 426 yards of total offense per game and 184.5 ypg on the ground. Jacksonville is rather average on the offensive side of the ball, but it is very capable of moving the chains on the ground averaging a healthy 127.5 rushing yards per game. Cincinnati has failed to cover the spread in both of its home games this season and took a 41-17 beating by the Niners as a home dog in Week 2. Jacksonville 2-1 ATS on the road with an impressive outright win at the Mile High in Week 4. 10* play on Jacksonville Jaguars. |

10-19-19 | Baylor v. Oklahoma State -3.5 | Top | 45-27 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 32 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY SIDE The Oklahoma State Cowboys are coming off a disappointing 10-point loss at Texas Tech. They've had a bye week to mull it over and prepare for this matchup with the Baylor Bears, and I like OSU to bounce back in a big way here. Note that while the Cowboys are "only" 4-2 SU on the season, they had covered the spread in five straight games prior to the loss to the Red Raiders.  Baylor is in a tough spot following a double-overtime win over that same Texas Tech team last week. The Bears are a perfect 6-0 on the season, but this will be their biggest test so far and one must wonder how much gas they have left in the tank following several close and hard-fought contests. Cowboys are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight-up loss. The home team is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 head-to-head meetings. 10* play on Oklahoma State Cowboys. |

10-17-19 | Chiefs v. Broncos UNDER 49 | Top | 30-6 | Win | 100 | 65 h 16 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED CHIEFS @ BRONCOS TOTAL I think the posted total is set way too high for this Thursday Night Football clash between the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs at Mile High. The usually so high-scoring Chiefs have averaged only 21.5 ppg during an 0-2 SU and ATS slide. MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes has completed just 55 percent of his passes during that stretch and is visibly bothered by a lingering ankle injury. To be fair, he is not getting much help from a banged up offensive line and the Chiefs ground game is virtually non-existent. As for the Broncos they're trending in the opposite direction, and almost solely because of a defense that has been excellent in back-to-back wins. Note that they recorded seven sacks with three interceptions in last week's 16-0 shutout triumph over Tennessee. The Broncos do not bring much to the table offensively though, and when they do move the ball it will mainly be on the ground which will take time off the clock. The under is 13-2 over the last three seasons in Denver games with a total between 42.5 and 49 points and 11-3 L14 when facing a division rival. 10* play on UNDER. |

10-13-19 | Falcons v. Cardinals OVER 51 | Top | 33-34 | Win | 100 | 150 h 7 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S MAJOR WAGER TOTAL The Atlanta Falcons have 99 problems, but scoring points ain't one. You would think that putting 32 points on the board would be enough to a W, but that was not the case for the Falcons as they took a 53-32 loss at Houston last week. Only KC's Patrick Mahomes has more passing yards than Atlanta QB Matt Ryan, and here Ryan will get to take shots against an Arizona defense that ranks in the bottom third against the pass and in the bottom five for total defense. The Falcons D is only marginally better and it allowed Houston QB Deshaun Watson to complete 28-of-33 passes for 426 yards and five touchdown passes in Week 5. Arizona will enter this contest feeling pretty good about themselves after accumulating 514 yards of offense in a 26-23 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie QB Kyler Murray ran for a career-high 93 yards and completed 20-of-32 passes for 253 yards without an interception.  Over is 8-3 in Falcons last 11 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Over is 14-6-1 in Falcons last 21 vs. a team with a losing record. Over is 4-1 in Cardinals last 5 games after accumulating more than 350 total yards in their previous game. It's a big number, but I expect both teams to score fast and easy until the very last possession. 10* play on OVER. |

10-13-19 | Saints +110 v. Jaguars | Top | 13-6 | Win | 110 | 148 h 23 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NFL): MIKE'S BEST BET ATS ~ HUGE 6-0 WEEK 5 & 21-8 (72%) NFL YTD The New Orleans Saints are 3-0 since losing their future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees to a thumb injury. Their defense has been excellent in recent weeks, holding the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to fewer than 270 yards of total offense each. I don't think the Saints will have any trouble to shut down the Jags with a rookie under center. The 23-year-old Gardner Minshew has received a lot of praise, and while he admittedly surpassed all expectations, note that the Jags are only 2-3 on the season. Minshew completed only 26-of-44 passes against Carolina, and he has been sacked seven times over the last two games. The Saints got to Tampa Bay QB Jameis Winston six times last time out... As for Jacksonville's defense, it allowed Carolina running back Christian McCaffrey to run riot in a 34-27 Panthers win last week. The Saints have a balanced attack and are certainly capable of doing some damage on the ground. We can also note that Saints backup QB Teddy Bridgewater came alive with four touchdown passes in their Week 5 win over the Bucs. As far as backup quarterbacks in the NFL, it's hard to find anyone more experienced than Bridgewater with 32 starts under his belt. Saints are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games in Week 6 and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. Jaguars are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games in October. 10* play on New Orleans Saints. |

10-12-19 | Iowa State v. West Virginia OVER 54 | Top | 38-14 | Loss | -100 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED 10 UNIT TOTAL The Iowa State Cyclones are coming off a dominant 49-24 win over TCU. They had no trouble to move the ball against an elite Horned Frogs defense, and I think they'll pile up the points against West Virginia. The Mountaineers meanwhile took a 41-32 loss against Texas last week but it would've been even closer if quarterback Austin Kendall didn't throw four interceptions. Still, Kendall finished with 367 passing yards and also threw three touchdown passes, and their offense helped the Mountaineers beat NC State 44-27 as a seven-point dog on September 14. All of the Mountaineers' last four games have gone over the total, and while I'm not confident they'll cover the spread I think they'll put a fair amount of points on the board. Over is 5-1 in Mountaineers last 6 home games. Over is 9-3 in Mountaineers last 12 games following a straight-up loss. 10* play on OVER. |

10-12-19 | Maryland -3 v. Purdue | Top | 14-40 | Loss | -104 | 73 h 25 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 7 SIDE The Maryland Terrapins were embarrassed in a 59-0 loss against PSU in Week 5, but they got back on track last week by putting a 41-point beating on Rutgers on the road. I like the Terps to make it two on the bonce here against a Purdue team that is in a tailspin, coming off three straight losses and getting outgained by 350+ yards in a 35-7 loss at PSU last week. Maryland QB Josh Jackson is out with a sprained ankle, so Tyrrell Pigrome (28 career games, 4 starts) will take his place under center. "We have a lot of confidence in Piggy and his ability to perform and run our offense," coach Michael Locksley said Tuesday. I'm counting on the Terps to do most of their damage on the ground anyway, entering this contest 20th in the nation in rushing and facing a Purdue defense that just gave up 196 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to Penn State. I'm happy to give the field goal as I don't think Purdue will come even close to cover. 10* play on Maryland Terrapins. |

10-06-19 | Vikings v. Giants UNDER 45.5 | Top | 28-10 | Win | 100 | 129 h 20 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Minnesota Vikings didn't get on the scoreboard until the middle of the fourth quarter in last week's 16-6 loss to the Chicago Bears. Over/under is 29-41-4 in games where a team scored seven or fewer points last time out dating back to the start of the 2017 season, and I think this has all the signs of a low-scoring affair. The Vikes have struggled to protect QB Kirk Cousins who was sacked six times against the Bears and running back Dalvin Cook was completely shut down, finishing with just 35 yards on 14 carries. The Giants defense is of course not nearly as good as Chicago's, but it has been more vulnerable through the air which is not something Minnesota can exploit effectively. On the defensive side of the ball, Minnesota has been as solid as ever. It held Chicago to 269 yards of total offense and ranks sixth in the NFL with 312.8 yards allowed per game despite facing what I consider good offenses in three of its four games. The Vikings should be able to shut down Giants team playing without its star running back and a rookie QB (Daniel Jones) who threw two interceptions in a 24-3 win over Washington last week. Under is 5-0 in Vikings last 5 road games. Under is 15-7 in Giants last 22 home games. 10* play on UNDER. |

10-06-19 | Bucs v. Saints -3 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 122 h 43 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED MAJOR WAGER SIDE Not only are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a letdown spot following a huge 55-40 road win at LA Rams, but they're also on the road for a second straight week. Extremely tough spot for any team and I like the New Orleans Saints to get the job done in back-to-back home games. The Saints have played reasonably well since losing star QB Drew Brees to a thumb injury and most recently defeated Dallas 12-10 on Monday night football. With the offense lacking, the Saints relied on their defense to beat the previously undefeated Cowboys and that same formula should work again in this game. I would simply not count on Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston to throw for four touchdown passes in back-to-back games. Note his 9/5 TD/INT ratio on the season and keep in mind that the Bucs were outgained 518-464 offensive yards against the Rams who won the first down battle 36-27. Tampa Bay managed to take full advantage of four Rams turnovers (three Goff interceptions), but their secondary gave up over 500 yards passing to Jared Goff and Saints backup QB Teddy Bridgewater is, even if not spectacular, at the very least serviceable.  Additionally, we can note that the Saints are 22-5 ATS in their last 27 games in October. 10* play on New Orleans Saints. |

10-05-19 | Oklahoma -31.5 v. Kansas | Top | 45-20 | Loss | -110 | 75 h 44 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S EARLY TOP RATED SIDE The No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners have not had any trouble to cover the spread as massive favorites through their last three games. I think they'll stay sharp and put a beating on the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday afternoon. The Jayhawks were absolutely dominated in a 51-14 loss to TCU last week. The Horned Frogs outgained them by 330 yards and were allowed to put up 646 yards of total offense. Oklahoma is the best team in the nation with 669 offensive yards per game and has had its way with its opponents both through the air and on the ground. Sooners QB Jalen Hurts threw for a career-high 415 yards and three touchdowns while adding 70 yards rushing and a score on the ground in their 55-16 rout of Texas Tech last week. "There’s no limit. There’s always more. Enough ain’t enough," Hurts said after that contest, and we can expect another monster game from Hurts here as he has his eyes on the Heisman Trophy. Sooners are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Jayhawks are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games in October and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game. If Oklahoma wants to cover this spread, then there's simply nothing Kansas can do about and I'm counting on the Sooners to get it done. 10* play on Oklahoma Sooners. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY AFTERNOON TOTAL The Penn State Nittany Lions have had no trouble to put points on the board in three of four games on the season, the exception a low-scoring 17-10 win over Pittsburgh. They average 50 ppg and scored 59 while racking up 622 yards of total offense in a shut out win at Maryland last time out and I think we'll see Penn State move the ball fast and easy here against a Purdue team that has allowed an average of 32.5 ppg on the season. Last time out, the Boilermakers gave up 488 yards of total offense in a 38-31 home loss to Minnesota and over is 7-1 in their last 8 games after allowing more than 450 total yards in their previous game. Purdue has scored 30+ points in three of its four games and I think it'll contribute enough to push the score over the total. 10* play on OVER. |

10-03-19 | Rams v. Seahawks OVER 48 | Top | 29-30 | Win | 100 | 60 h 15 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT RAMS @ SEAHAWKS TOTAL *TOP PLAY*' We should see an angry and motivated Los Angeles Rams team heading to Seattle looking to bounce back from a 55-40 home loss to Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The reigning NFC champions are as good as anyone on the offensive side of the ball but simply can't trust their defense to win games. Rams' third-year quarterback Jared Goff threw for 517 yards with two touchdown passes and three picks in that contest and they're averaging a healthy 29.2 ppg on the season. Seattle has an elite rushing defense, but its secondary is mediocre at best. The Seahawks allowed Bengals QB Andy Dalton to pass for 418 yards plus a pair of scores in the opening game of the season. Since then they've faced two teams with backup QBs and one team with a rookie under center. Offensively, the Seahawks just put up 20 points in the first half alone against Arizona and I think the two teams will combine for enough points to push the final score over the total. As the clincher, we can note that both matchups last season saw 60+ points scored! 10* play on OVER. |

09-29-19 | Cowboys -2.5 v. Saints | Top | 10-12 | Loss | -107 | 128 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S BEST NFL BET ATS FOR SEPTEMBER Dallas will face its first real test of the season when it heads to New Orleans to take on the Saints in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for a Sunday night showdown. The Cowboys have had no trouble to beat up on three teams that are a combined 1-8 through the first three weeks of the season, but you can only beat what's in front of you and they're unlikely to stumble against an opponent playing without its star QB quarterback. The Saints are coming off a 33-27 win at Seattle, a great result considering that they were outgained by 250 yards. Backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater managed just 177 yards on 19-of-27 passing while running back Alvin Kamara was held 69 yards on 16 carries. The defense/special teams saved the day with three touchdowns, but that's not something that'll happen every week.  The Cowboys are coming off a 31-6 win over Miami and rank third in the NFL in total offense with 481.3 yards per game. They should have no trouble to take advantage of a New Orleans defense that ranks in the bottom five in the NFL with 436.3 yards allowed per game. Additionally, we can note that the Cowboys are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall. They're playing with a lot of confidence, and I don't see an upset happening. 10* play on Dallas Cowboys. |

09-29-19 | Redskins v. Giants OVER 48.5 | Top | 3-24 | Loss | -110 | 104 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY AFTERNOON TOTAL This is a showdown between two teams that have struggled on the defensive end through the first three games of the season. Both sides are allowing an average of 31.3 ppg and 400+ yards of total offense. The Redskins have seen all three contests fly over the total, and I think this will turn into a shootout. The Giants are 1-2 on the season following a thrilling come-from-behind 32-31 win over Tampa Bay. Rookie quarterback Daniel Jones completed 65 percent of his passes for 336 yards and two touchdowns versus zero interceptions in his first career start. Make no mistake, this is a team that can move the ball and it ranks seventh in the NFL for total offense. Sure, the injury to Giants' running back Saquon Barkley is not ideal, but I don't think they'll have any trouble to move the chains against a weak Redskins secondary. The Giants have the worst pass defense in the league with 332.3 passing yards allowed per game and they allowed Bucs and they let a mediocre QB like Jameis Winston to throw for 380 yards. While Washington QB Case Keenum looked terrible against the Bears Monday night, keep in mind that he was up against one of the best defenses in the league. 10* play on OVER. |

09-28-19 | Washington State v. Utah OVER 57 | Top | 13-38 | Loss | -105 | 47 h 3 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Washington State Cougars gave up 67 points and 657 yards of total offense in a loss to the UCLA Bruins last week. On a more positive note, they did also put up 63 points and QB Anthony Gordon had a huge game with 570 yards passing yards and nine touchdown passes. Utah's elite run defense is among the best in the nation, but the Cougars won't even try to run the ball and Utah gave up 351 passing yards against USC Trojans last week. On the offensive side of the ball, the Utes will have quarterback Tyler Huntley and running back Zack Mose likely sidelined due to injuries. They do however have good depth in the backfield and I think they'll have a gameplan in place how to exploit this far from elite Cougars defense. Over is 5-1 in Utes last 6 home games. Over is 8-2 in Cougars last 10 road games. 10* play on OVER. |

09-28-19 | Iowa State -2.5 v. Baylor | Top | 21-23 | Loss | -118 | 74 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY AFTERNOON SIDE The Iowa State Cyclones took a home loss to Iowa in Week 3, but they bounced right back with a dominant 72-20 triumph over ULM last week. I think they'll keep rolling here in this Week 5 Big 12 conference clash against the Baylor Bears. Baylor is a perfect 3-0 SU on the season, but it is just 1-2 against the spread and the offense sputtered in last week's 21-13 win over Rice. Defensively, the Bears have yet to allow a touchdown pass, but they've not had to deal with any high-powered passing offenses yet (Stephen F. Austin, UTSA and Rice). That's about to change as Iowa State QB Brock Purdy was magnificent last time out, passing for 435 yards and three touchdowns while also adding 75 rushing yards and three scores on the ground.  We can also note that Iowa State is 9-3-1 ATS in its last 13 road games while the Bears are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Cyclones have won the last two games played between the two teams and they're 3-1-1 ATS in their last five meetings, trends I like to continue. 10* play on Iowa State Cyclones. |

09-23-19 | Bears v. Redskins UNDER 42 | Top | 31-15 | Loss | -111 | 154 h 48 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL TOTAL The Chicago Bears have opened the season 1-1 with both games being low-scoring affairs, and that's a trend I like to continue when they visit the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. The Skins have looked suspect on the defensive side of the ball in first giving up 32 points to the Eagles in Week 1 and 31 points to the Cowboys last week. We can, however, note that Chicago has averaged just 9.5 points and 263.5 yards of total offense through the first two weeks. Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky really struggled in the 10-3 Week 1 loss to Green Bay and was not much better Sunday, throwing for only 120 yards at Denver. Note that Trubisky has completed just over 58 percent of his passes and he has yet to throw a touchdown pass this season ... Washington QB Case Keenum has put up decent numbers, but I doubt he can do it against an elite Bears defense that has held its opponents to 292.5 yards per game. Under is 7-0 in Bears last 7 games overall. Under is 6-1 in Redskins last 7 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. 10* play on UNDER. |

09-22-19 | Rams -2.5 v. Browns | Top | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 159 h 56 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED RAMS @ BROWNS ATS BET *This pick was made ahead of Cleveland's Monday night matchup with the New York Jets. The LA Rams have opened the season with a perfect 2-0 record after first beating the Panthers at Carolina before putting a 27-9 beating on New Orleans. Sure, they didn't run away with the game against the Saints until the second half and were fortunate that NO quarterback Drew Brees had to exit the game with an injury, but still a solid effort on both sides of the ball. The Cleveland Browns entered the season as a possible Super Bowl contender, but they looked nothing like it in their 43-13 home loss to Tennessee in Week 1. Note that the Browns gave up 182 penalty yards in the setback, something that could become a recurring theme with this talented but also young and inexperienced roster. The Rams are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the Browns are 7-18-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 9-21 ATS in their last 30 home games. I'm not saying the Browns won't have their fair share of good games this year, but I doubt they'll keep it close against last season's Super Bowl finalist. 10* play on LA Rams. |

09-21-19 | Nebraska v. Illinois UNDER 62.5 | Top | 42-38 | Loss | -108 | 17 h 26 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Illinois Fighting Illini are coming off their first loss after taking a 34-31 loss to Eastern Michigan last Saturday. That game flew over the total, but they had opened the season with two straight unders and just 26 points allowed. I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair when they host the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday night. Nebraska's offense has been inconsistent, and I would not make too much of its 44-8 rout of Northern Illinois last week. Both teams are strong against run holding opponents to 2.2 yards/rush attempt. If the passing game is not clicking, moving the chains will become a struggle no matter who has the ball. Under is 12-4 in Fighting Illini last 16 games in September and 7-1 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on UNDER. |

09-21-19 | Michigan v. Wisconsin -3 | Top | 14-35 | Win | 100 | 73 h 53 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAF): MIKE'S TOP RATED BIG 10 BOOKIE BREAKER Both the Wisconsin Badgers and the Michigan Wolverines enter this contest with 2-0 record and off a bye week, but I think the Badgers home field advantage and defense will be too much for the visitors to overcome. Wisconsin has made easy work of its first two opponents, outscoring South Florida and Central Michigan by a combined score of 110-0. Here it'll face a Michigan team needed overtime to get past Army as a 22-point favorite last time out, and the Wolverines have struggled to move the ball efficiently under their new offensive coordinator despite an easy schedule. The Badgers offense on the other hand has hit the ground running and poses a threat both in the air and on the ground. Jonathan Taylor is arguably the best running back in the FBS and has accumulated 237 yards through the first two games. Wolverines are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games, and this is a revenge game for the Badgers after getting routed in the Big House last year. Additionally we can note that the Badgers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a bye week. 10* play on Wisconsin Badgers. |

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL TITANS @ JAGS BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Tennesse Titans dominated Cleveland Browns in Week 1 but failed to make it a 2-0 start to the season when they came up short in a 19-17 loss to Indianapolis last time out. I think they'll bounce back here in Jacksonville Thursday night, facing an 0-2 Jaguars team that had big trouble to generate any kind of offense in its 17-16 loss to Houston on Sunday. With Nick Foles (and several other offensive pieces) out, the Jags have to rely on rookie QB Gardner Minshew under center. The 6th round pick has not embarrassed himself, quite far from it, but moving the ball against this solid Titans defense won't be easy. As for the Jacksonville defense, it gave up 126 yards on 30 rush attempts to the Texans, and Tennessee can do plenty of damage on the ground with dual-threat QB Marcus Mariota and RB Derrick Henry who ranks 6th in the NFL with 165 yards on the season. We can also note that the Jaguars are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game and 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings and won both last season's contests straight up, including a 9-6 triumph here in Florida. 10* play on Tennessee Titans. |

09-15-19 | Cowboys -4 v. Redskins | Top | 31-21 | Win | 100 | 124 h 31 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY SIDE The Dallas Cowboys had little trouble to take advantage of one of the worst defenses in the league when they opened the season with a decisive 35-17 victory against the New York Giants. Here they'll face a Washington side that gave up 32 points on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, and I like Dallas in to win and cover the spread. The Redskins kept it relatively close against Philly, losing by only five points as a 10-point dog, thanks to QB Case Keenum. He was one of the big surprises in Week 1 as he lit up Philly's defense for a career-high 380 passing yards and three touchdown passes, but Keenum likely to come crashing back to earth here against one of the league’s top defenses. Dallas has the advantage of both sides of the ball, and I don't think Washington's home field advantage will make up for that. We can also note that Dallas has won four of the last five meetings by five points or more. 10* play on Dallas Cowboys. |

09-15-19 | Patriots v. Dolphins UNDER 49 | Top | 43-0 | Win | 100 | 56 h 48 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY TOTAL The New England Patriots limited Big Ben and the Steelers and to three points and 308 yards of offense last week. We won with the under in that Sunday night matchup, and I'm going back to the well as I don't see this turning into a shootout. Miami looked awful on both sides of the ball in its 59-10 loss to the Ravens in Week 1 so there's not really a surprise to see the reigning champions favored by almost three touchdowns here. We can, however, note that Miami usually plays them tough, particularly here at Hard Rock Stadium where they won outright as a 9.5-point underdog last year. The bookmakers obviously expect a very different result in this contest, and I also expect the Pats to take a comfortable lead and then control the clock and possibly remove their starters to minimizing the risk of injuries. Also, I don't think Bill Belichick wants to embarrass Dolphins coach Brian Flores who was defensive play-caller for the team that won the Super Bowl last year. Under is 7-0 in Patriots last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Under is 8-2 in Dolphins last 10 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY SIDE The NC State Wolfpack will be looking to start the season with a perfect 3-0 record, and I like them to not only win but also cover the spread here as a road favorite over West Virginia. The Mountaineers have lost star quarterback Will Grier and head coach Dana Holgorsen since last season, and they've found it hard to adjust averaging just 13.5 points while splitting their first two games. WVU mustered only 171 total yards of offense when it took a 38-7 beating at Missouri last week, and here the Mountaineers will face a Wolfpack defense that has allowed just six points on the season. WVU looks lost on offense while NC State looks sharp on both sides of the ball. I'm well happy to take the red hot visitors with all the momentum here. 10* play on NC State Wolfpack. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE' TOP RATED TOTAL (SUPER EARLY) The Penn State Nittany Lions explosive offense has had no trouble to run up the score in blowout victories against weak opponents in the first two weeks of the season. Both those games went over the total, and they're a rather sizable favorite again here when they take on rival Pittsburgh Panthers Saturday afternoon. Pittsburgh is coming off a pair of low-scoring games, but the offense looked better in its 20-10 win over Ohio last time out. Junior QB Kenny Pickett threw for a career-high 321 yards and a TD against as the team racked up 481 yards of total offense, 160 of those yards on the ground. Penn State put a 45-13 come-from-behind beating on Buffalo last week, but it did give up 184 rushing yards and I expect to see Pitt put some points on the board in this contest.  We can also note that the over is 7-1 in the Lions last 8 games after scoring more than 40 points and 8-2 in their last 10 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game. 10* play on OVER. |

09-09-19 | Texans +7 v. Saints | Top | 28-30 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
TEXANS @ SAINTS MONDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The New Orleans Saints have dropped five straight season openers, and while they should win this one straight up I still think the visiting Houston Texans will keep it close until the very end. Houston's Deshaun Watson is coming off a big season, and the third-year quarterback should be even better and more mature this year. He has a reliable target in DeAndre Hopkins and talented running backs to hand over the ball to. As for New Orleans, Drew Brees is back under center for his 19th season, and while he's surrounded by talent season openers are always a bit iffy. Brees won't have to worry about 2014 top overall pick Jadeveon Clowney who was traded to Seattle on Saturday, but Houston still has a tough defense. "We have a lot of guys out there," J.J. Watt said. "Obviously it's tough to lose a player like that, but we have a lot of guys out there than can step up can make plays." The Saints meanwhile will open the season without two of their top interior defensive linemen as Sheldon Rankins (injury) and David Onyemata (suspended) will sit this one out. 10* play on Houston Texans. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S STEELERS @ PATRIOTS BEST TOTAL BET The defending Super Bowl champions New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers for one of the best inter-divisional rivalries in the NFL Sunday night. If you expect late-night fireworks I think you'll be disappointed as this looks like a low-scoring contest. Note that five of New England's last seven season openers have gone under the total and, four of its last five meetings with the Steelers failed to surpass the closing number. They clashed once last year, a game the Steelers won 17-10. Pittsburgh has since lost/got rid of star wide receiver and troublemaker Antonio Brown, and while it's almost certainly the right call in the long run, it'll be hard to replace him in the short term. Instead, we now find Brown with the Pats, which certainly puts an extra interesting spin to this matchup ... We'll see two aging quarterbacks in Tom Brady (42) and Ben Roethlisberger (37) under center, and while I'm certainly not saying either is done yet, they might need a couple of games to get the old legs going following the off-season. Under is 36-16 in Steelers last 52 road games and 11-3 in their last 14 games on fieldturf. Under is 5-1 in Patriots last 6 games on fieldturf. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S BILLS @ JETS BEST BET ATS The New York Jets host the Buffalo Bills in Week 1 of the NFL season this Sunday. The home team will surely close as a favorite, but I'm happy to take the points on the visiting Bills in this matchup. Keep in mind that Buffalo boasts one of the best defensive units in pro football and gave up just 294.1 yards per game last year. Sure, the Bills were more effective stopping the pass than the run and the Jets have an outstanding running back with a point to prove in Le’veon Bell, but can new head coach Adam Gase get the best out of his team in Week 1? The Bills have two very capable running backs of their own in 36-year-old veteran Frank Gore, third-round draft pick Devin Singletary and T.J. Yeldon, who was acquired as a free agent in the offseason, and second-year QB Josh Allen must feel the pressure to step up his game this season. The Bills are a solid 10-4 ATS in their last 14 season openers while the Jets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games in September. I think Buffalo will start better and its defense will keep the team in this game until the very end. 10* play on Buffalo Bills. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY NIGHT SIDE I like the UNLV Rebels as a small home favorite against Arkansas State Red Wolves here on Saturday. UNLV opened the season with a comfortable 56-23 triumph as a 24.5-point favorite over Southern Utah. The team did most of its damage on the ground, and while QB Armani Rogers threw for just 144 yards (one touchdown), note that he added 114 yards and two TDs on the ground. The Rebels racked up a total of 533 offensive yards and should have no trouble to move the ball here against an Arkansas State team that gave up 508 total yards in its 37-30 to SMU last week. 10* play on UNLV Rebels. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY TOTAL Both teams opened the season with a shutout win, but I expect points to come fast an easy on both ends of the field in this clash. The No. 22 Syracuse Orange are coming off a 24-0 shutout of Liberty, but here they'll face a Maryland offense that amassed 623 yards and hung 79 points in their rout of Howard. Terps QB Josh Jackson threw four touchdowns and the team scrambled for 317 yards on the ground with five scores. As for Cuse quarterback Tommy DeVito, he struggled against the Flames completing just 17-of-35 passes for 176 yards with two picks, but he simply has to come up with a better outing here. Neither defense was put to the test last week, but that will definitely not be the case here. The contrast for how this game is likely to play out might come as a shock for the defenses, and they might find themselves ill-prepared. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE'S TOP RATED WEEK 1 ATS ANNIHILATOR The Syracuse Orange finished last season 10-3 with an appearance in the Camping World Bowl. They ranked 11th in the nation for points scored but has since had to replace starting QB Eric Dungey who has graduated. I still have no doubt that four-star prospect Tommy DeVito will keep the Orange offense an explosive one, and they should have plenty of success against a Liberty Flames team that ranked 119th in the nation for points allowed (36.8 ppg) last year. The Flames will return their QB Stephen Calvert who was very effective with 3068 passing yards and 21 TDs, but they have a new coach in Hugh Freeze who might need a couple of games to get things right. 10* play on Syracuse Orange. |

08-29-19 | Florida International v. Tulane -2.5 | Top | 14-42 | Win | 100 | 34 h 46 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT FIU @ TULANE TOP PLAY Both the Tulane Green Wave and the FIU Panthers must come into the season feeling pretty good about themselves looking to build on bowl-winning seasons. The Green Wave opened last season with a weak 2-7 record before clicking into gear. I don't think head coach Willie Fritz will allow his team to start as slow two years in a row. Tulane boasted a dangerous running game averaging 218.2 rushing yards per game in 2018 (23rd in the nation), and that should be the case once again as Darius Bradwell (1,134 rushing yards, 11 touchdowns) and Corey Dauphine (785 rushing yards, 7 touchdowns) are back for their senior year. Florida International did well containing the pass last year, but it ranked 99th in the nation with 198.4 rushing yards allowed per game (5.0 yards per attempt). As for FUI's offense, James Morgan is back at quarterback for the Panthers, but he might not get much protection from FIU's rebuilt offensive line. It's also worth noting that the Green Wave returns eight starters from a very tough defense that posted 46 sacks in 2018. Tulane is better on both sides of the ball, and that combined with the home edge makes this an easy play on the home team. 10* play on Tulane Green Wave. |

08-24-19 | Arizona -10.5 v. Hawaii | Top | 38-45 | Loss | -110 | 134 h 59 m | Show |
TOP RATED ARIZONA @ HAWAII CFB BOOKIE BREAKER The Arizona Wildcats look like a great road favorite at Hawaii in college football action on Saturday. The Wildcats have 15 starters back from a disappointing season when they failed to make it to a bowl. Dual-threat QB Khalil Tate had an injury-riddled year but still managed to finish the season with 2,530 yards and 26 touchdown passes. Tate was particularly impressive down the stretch, and the Wildcats boast one of the best ground attacks in the conference with Tate and running-back JJ Taylor. As for the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, they have 18 starters back from last year. They have an experienced QB in Cole McDonald, but struggled to protect him last year they'll face an Arizona D that is known for forcing turnovers. Hawaii's own defense is a weakness I expect the Wildcats to exploit.  10* play on Arizona Wildcats. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUPER BOWL LIII BEST BET The BIG GAME is finally here; New England Patriots vs. Los Angeles Rams for all the marbles in Super Bowl LIII at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The Pats have played high-scoring contests throughout the postseason, and I expect another shootout here against an explosive Rams team that averaged 32.9 ppg through the regular season. New England's 41 year old signal caller Tom Brady showed that age is just a number as the GOAT had little trouble to march his team down the field when it really mattered in the AFC Championship Game. The Patriots and the Chiefs combined for 38 points in Q4 alone of their AFC Championship clash, with 24 of the points coming in the last 3:32 of the quarter. We could very well see a similar scenario here with two clutch quarterbacks more than capable of marching down the field when it really matters. Over is now 7-1 in Patriots last eight playoff games and this Patriots team will have to score plenty of points here to have a shot at winning. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S AFC CHAMPIONSHIP BEST BET ATS The Kansas City Chiefs will host the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game Sunday afternoon. Both teams are coming off blowout victories in the Divisional Round, but I think KC's home field advantage will be too much for the Pats to overcome in this contest. New England was just 3-5 SU and ATS on the road during the regular season, including three double-digit losses. Here it'll face Kansas City defense that may have ranked ranked 31st in the league during the regular season, but allowed just 266 yards and 15 first downs in last week's 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Chiefs owned the No. 1 offense in the regular season and 23-year-old first-year starting QB Patrick Mahomes threw for 358 yards and four passing touchdowns against the Pats in Week 6. The Patriots won that contest 43-40, but I expect the Chiefs to execute revenge here when it counts. 10* play on Kansas City Chiefs. |

GAME OF THE YEAR (NFL): MIKE'S TOP RATED NFL PLAYOFFS TOTAL The over/under is 5-11 in the New England Patriot games this season and they've allowed 12 points or fewer in each of their last three at home (16.6 ppg against in Foxboro on the season). Here Pats coach Bill Belichick has had two weeks to prepare for the LA Chargers, and I think he'll have his defense on point leading to a low-scoring contest. The Chargers have stepped it up defensively in recent weeks and have seen four of their last five go under the total. They held Baltimore to 229 yards of offense in a 23-17 win in the opening round of the NFL playoffs last week but mustered also only 243 yards themselves. Chargers QB Philip Rivers has a poor career record against NE and he was sacked 32 times during the regular season. We can note that the Pats forced eight turnovers in the final three games of the regular season and there will be a lot of pressure on Rivers to deliver as RB Melvin Gordon is struggling with a knee injury he sustained during last week's wild-card win. Gordon rested at practice on Wednesday and is unlikely to be 100 percent by Sunday. Under is 8-1 in Patriots last nine games overall. Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL): MIKE'S BEST NFC DIVISIONAL ROUND ATS BET We cashed in big with the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round, and I'm happy to take a touchdown+ on them here in their NFC Divisional round matchup with the LA Rams. Ezekiel Elliot just won his second rushing title with 1,434 yards and the Cowboys rumbled for 164 yards on 34 carries in their 24-22 win over Seattle last week. Here they'll face a LA Rams defense that allowed a league-worst average of 5.07 yards per rush this season. The Rams can do plenty of damage on the ground themselves, but their star running back Todd Gurley (league-best 21 TDs) sat out the final two games of the regular season with a knee injury and it's worth noting that Dallas boasts the fifth-best run defense in the league. LA finished the regular season 2nd in the league in scoring offense with 32.9 points per game and QB Jared Goff has plenty of weapons, but I still think the visitors will be able to slow things down with their running game and make this a close contest. Rams are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 1-5 ATS in their last six playoff games. 10* play on Dallas Cowboys. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (CFB): MIKE' CFB NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BEST BET The Alabama Crimson Tide and the Clemson Tigers are set to battle it out in the National Championship Game for the third time in four years. Both are coming off dominant wins in the semi-finals, but I think Alabama has a significant edge. The Crimson Tide jumped out to a three-touchdown lead over Oklahoma before stepping off the gas pedal, yet without allowing their opponent to get too close in the 45-34 victory. The Tide are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite of 6+ points and have won their last six games by an average of 22.5 ppg, very impressive considering they've faced tough opponents like LSU, Mississippi State, Georgia and Oklahoma. Clemson put a 30-3 beating on Notre Dame in its semi-finals matchup, not a big surprise IMO as it was always gonna be a one-sided affair. Clemson has won nine consecutive games by double digits, but it has had a fairly easy schedule and certainly not faced a team even remotely close to Alabama’s caliber. We can also note that on Dec. 20, three Clemson players — starting defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, offensive lineman Zach Giella and tight end Braden Galloway— were disqualified from competition after failed drug tests. It is at the writing of this preview (Jan 2) unclear whether they'll be allowed to participate in this contest, but either way I like Bama to get it done. 10* play on Alabama Crimson Tide. |

Pretty big QB concerns here for Philly though with Carson Wentz definitely out and backup Nick Foles banged up after taking a hit on the ribs last week. The Bears own the No. 1 scoring defense in the NFL, but they have been held to 15 points or fewer in two of their last four games and haven't scored more than 24 in any game during that stretch. They own the No. 11 rushing offense in the NFL but Philly is good at stopping the run allowing 96.9 ypg. Under is 6-2 in Bears last eight home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-05-19 | Seahawks v. Cowboys -1 | Top | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 81 h 16 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL): MIKE'S WILD CARD WEEKEND BEST ATS BET The Seattle Seahawks own the No. 1 rush offense in the NFL this season, but their pass offense is nowhere near as good as previous years and Russell Wilson has been sacked plenty. Here the Seahawks will run into a Dallas defense that ranks 5th in the NFL against the run giving up just 3.8 rushing yards per game, and the Cowboys should come out with extra motivation as the seek to avenge a 24-13 loss at Seattle in Week 3. Dallas has since added WR Amari Cooper to the roster and he has connected very well with QB Dak Prescott; in eight games with Dallas, Cooper has caught 53 passes for 725 yards and six touchdowns. Add a prolific running game that will face a Seattle D which has given up 4.9 yards per rush attempt this season, and I think we have identified significant advantages for Dallas on both sides of the ball. Dallas is 7-1 at home while Seattle is 4-4 on the road (winning at Arizona, Detroit, Carolina and beating Oakland in London). As you can see, the Seahawks have not won on the road against a team near Dallas caliber and I'm well happy to back the home team in this matchup. 10* play on Dallas Cowboys. |

01-01-19 | Washington v. Ohio State -6.5 | Top | 23-28 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* ROSE BOWL BOOKIE BREAKER The Ohio State Buckeyes look like a solid favorite against the Washington Huskies in the Rose Bowl. This will be Urban Meyer's last game as head coach of Ohio State so the Buckeyes players should play with extra motivation looking to put on a show for their coach. Washington owns among the best defenses in the nation, but can it really slow down this terrific OU offense? Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting and set a Big Ten championship game record with 499 passing yards and five touchdown passes in the Buckeyes win 45-24 win over Northwestern. Note that Urban Meyer owns a terrific 42-15 ATS record with at least eight days to prepare for an opponent. My money is on the Buckeyes. 10* play on Ohio State Buckeyes. |

12-30-18 | Colts -2.5 v. Titans | Top | 33-17 | Win | 100 | 131 h 56 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL) ATS The winner will "literally" take it all when the Tennessee Titans host the Indianapolis Colts Sunday night; the winner will advance to the postseason while the loser will see its year end. Titans QB Marcus Mariota's status for this contest is questionable (as of the posting of this pick on Tuesday) after leaving Tennessee's 25-16 win over Washington last week with a shoulder stinger. With or without Mariota, I don't see the Titans keeping up with this high-octane Colts offense guided by Andrew Luck who threw for 357 yards and two touchdowns in a dramatic win over the Giants last Sunday. Luck tossed three touchdown passes in a 38-10 win over Tennessee last month. The Titans are 6-1 SU at home this season, but only 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and the Colts are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 meetings. 10* play on Indianapolis Colts. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Bears v. Vikings UNDER 40.5 | Top | 24-10 | Win | 100 | 16 h 35 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NFL): REGULAR SEASON TOTAL There's no secret that two of the NFL's top defensive teams will clash at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis Sunday afternoon, but I still think the books have set the total too high. Note that under is 21-16 (56.8%) in games with a total closing under 42 points in NFL this season. Chicago owns the league's fourth-best defense and has the No. 3 seed in the NFC locked in. They must defeat the Vikings and hope for the 49ers to defeat the LA Rams in Los Angeles to jump into the No. 2 seed, not impossible but at the same time not very likely either... They've been held to a total of 53 points through their last three games and under is 8-1 in Bears last nine games in December. The Vikings rank third in overall defense and will be highly motivated as they can clinch a wild card with a victory (or a tie). "For us, playoffs have already started," Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said. "We know that we have to win this game in order to get into them. There has to be heightened sense of energy and focus and study time. You have to make sure that your bodies are rested and understand it is going to be a physical football game on Sunday." I expect Minnesota to take an early lead and then controlling the clock. Under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings and I think the circumstances call for another low-scoring affair. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Oklahoma v. Alabama -13.5 | Top | 34-45 | Loss | -110 | 596 h 52 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAF) The Alabama Crimson Tide have their eyes on a third National Championship title in four years, and I don't think Oklahoma Sooners will pose much of a threat on their way there in the Orange Bowl. Bama had won every game during the regular season by at least 22 points before beating Georgia by "only" seven in the SEC Championship game. So, is that something we should be concerned about? Hardly. Instead I think it was good for us, and themselves, to see how they handled adversity for the first time all year and such a wake up call was perhaps even needed after breezing through the season. Oklahoma has just one loss on the season and owns the top ranked offense in the nation, with Alabama ranked 2nd. There's however a huge gap between how they perform on the defensive end with Bama ranking No. 2 nationally in defensive efficiency while the Sooners are 91st. I expect the Tide to roll past the Sooners rather comfortably. 10* play on Alabama Crimson Tide |

12-27-18 | Miami-FL v. Wisconsin +2.5 | Top | 3-35 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL BOOKIE BREAKER The Wisconsin Badgers beat the Miami Hurricanes in the Orange Bowl last season. I'm well happy to take the points on the Badgers in the rematch in the 2018 New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Sure, Miami owns one of the top defenses in the nation and was the absolute toughest team to throw against this season, but that might not matter much in this contest.  Wisconsin is very much a run-first kind of team and ranked 7th in the nation with 268.4 rushing yards per game. Badgers RB Jonathan Taylor was named winner of the Doak Walker Award and eclipsed 200 yards four times on the season. The Badgers will probably be extra inclined to do their damage on the ground here with quarterback Alex Hornibrook out with a concussion. I also expect Wisconsin to be particularly fired up here after losing Paul Bunyan's Axe to Minnesota in a blowout last time out. In addition we can note that the New Era Pinstripe Bowl will be played at Yankee Stadium in New York with temperatures around 40 degrees. Wisconsin is of course used to that kind of weather ... Miami, not so much. 10* play on Wisconsin Badgers. |

12-26-18 | Minnesota v. Georgia Tech -5.5 | Top | 34-10 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* QUICK LANE BOWL BOOKIE BREAKER Both teams will without a doubt be fired up for this Quick Lane Bowl matchup, but the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets perhaps a bit more with this being 11th-year coach Paul Johnson last game in charge. The Yellow Jackets enter this contest on a hot streak, having won six of eight since a 1-3 start to the season. Their triple-option offense is averaging a FBS-leading 334.9 yards per contest and has proven to be too much to handle for teams like Virginia Tech, Miami and Virginia Here they'll face a Minnesota Golden Gophers team that is giving up an average of 170.7 rushing yards per game, and its leading tackler, Blake Cashman, will not partake in the Quick Lane Bowl as he will prepare for the upcoming NFL draft. 10* play on Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Bears v. 49ers UNDER 43.5 | Top | 14-9 | Win | 100 | 79 h 57 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL) TOTAL The Chicago Bears tenacious defense has allowed a total of just 23 points through the last two games. The Bears have already clinched a postseason berth but I think they'll still put up a fight here as they look to improve their seeding in the NFC playoffs. The San Francisco 49ers have no shot of making the postseason but have held Denver and Seattle to a combined 37 points in back-to-back wins. They're allowing 23.0 ppg home at Levi's Stadium which is well below their 26.6 ppg season average overall. Under is 8-3 in Bears last 11 vs. a team with a losing record and 7-1 in their last eight games in December. Under is 11-3 in 49ers last 14 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-23-18 | Bengals v. Browns -6.5 | Top | 18-26 | Win | 100 | 149 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NFL) ATS REGULAR SEASON The red hot Cleveland Browns look determined to finish a season with a winning record for the first time since 2007. They have won four of their last five games and even have a shot at their first playoff berth since 2002. I don't think they'll have any trouble to take down the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday afternoon. The Bengals are coming off a 30-16 triumph over the tanking and banged up Oakland Raiders, and received some home cooking in their last home game of the season. They had however lost five straight games prior to that, and Cleveland owns a big psychological advantage after beating the Bengals 35-20 at Paul Brown Stadium on Nov 25. 10* play on Cleveland Browns. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Houston v. Army -4.5 | Top | 14-70 | Win | 100 | 53 h 60 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB) The Army Black Knights look like a favorite well worth backing when taking on Houston Cougars in the Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth. They're 10-2 on the season and forced overtime in their loss to Oklahoma, the closest win the Sooners have had all season. Army's triple-option offense led all of FBS in time of possession, holding the ball for almost 39 minutes per game, and can grind down just about any team while the defense held each of its last four opponents to 14 points or less. The Cougars have lost three of their last four and took a 52-31 loss as a 9.5-point underdog at Memphis last time out, the first game this season they didn't close as a favorite. We can also note that Houston has been without its starting QB for a while now and here it'll also be without its best defensive player, Ed Oliver, who has decided to skip the bowl game in order to prepare for the NFL draft. 10* play on Army Black Knights. |
|||||||
12-17-18 | Saints v. Panthers UNDER 51.5 | Top | 12-9 | Win | 100 | 68 h 50 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL) TOTAL The New Orleans Saints are averaging 34.4 ppg on the season, but they've been held to a total of 38 points through their last two games. At the other end of the field, they've held five consecutive opponent to 17 or fewer points. Each of their last four have gone under the total and I expect a relatively low-scoring contest here when they visit Carolina Monday night. The slumping Panthers have lost five in a row and scored more than 21 points just once during their skid. They rank 2nd in the NFL with 1,786 net rushing yards on the season but here the Panthers will run into the very best rush defense in the league, allowing just 3.6 yards/rush attempt. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-16-18 | Patriots -125 v. Steelers | Top | 10-17 | Loss | -125 | 101 h 21 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NFL) The New England Patriots should be extremely fired up for this one after a wild loss at Miami last week. The Pats were on the verge of clinching their 10th consecutive AFC East title before losing to a last-second stunner. I think they'll be back in business and take out their frustrations on the Steelers here Sunday afternoon. Pittsburgh has lost three in a row SU and ATS and has struggled to slow down opposing QBs. Derek Carr was allowed to throw for 322 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 24-21 Oakland win last week, not very encouraging for Steelers backers considering Patriots QB Tom Brady is coming off a 358 yard outing with three TD passes. Patriots are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games in December and 5-0 SU and 4-0-1 ATS vs. the Steelers since 2013. Steelers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games in December and have covered the spread in only three of their last 11 at home. 10* play on New England Patriots. |
|||||||
12-15-18 | Arizona State v. Fresno State UNDER 53.5 | Top | 20-31 | Win | 100 | 102 h 23 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB): MIKE'S BEST VEGAS BOWL BET The Fresno State Bulldogs have allowed just 13.7 ppg on the season and limited Boise State to 350 yards of total offense and 16 points last time out. Under is 13-3 in Bulldogs last 16 games after allowing less than 20 points in their previous game. The Bulldogs managed just 19 points on 288 yards of total offense themselves against the Broncos though and I expect this to be a low-scoring game. The Arizona State Sun Devils are coming off a 41-40 win over Arizona and have played several high-scoring contests lately, but note that they'll' be without No. 1 receiver N'Keal Harry for this contest. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-13-18 | Chargers +3.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 29-28 | Win | 100 | 34 h 16 m | Show |
CHARGERS @ CHIEFS AFC WEST BOOKIE BREAKER The LA Chargers look like a solid underdog when visiting Kansas City Chiefs in a matchup between the two teams with the best records in the AFC. KC has failed to cover the spread in four straight games and needed overtime to get past Baltimore last Sunday. The Chiefs gave up 132 yards on the ground and could be in big trouble here if Chargers RB Melvin Gordon takes the field after missing two games with a sprained right knee. "I've been grinding hard to get back and we're still trying to decide what we're going to do," Gordon said Tuesday (via ESPN.com). "I know Coach is trying to be careful and doesn't want me to further hurt myself or things like that. So we'll see where that goes, but I'm a lot stronger and more confident than I was last week." Note that KC is banged up as well; wide receiver Tyreek Hill (foot) and running back Spencer Ware (shoulder/hamstring) are both in danger of missing the game. The Chargers have won three in a row and they're a solid 5-1 SU and ATS on the road this season. They're likely to be extra fired up here seeking revenge for a 38-28 home loss to the Chiefs back in September. 10* play on LA Chargers. |
|||||||
12-09-18 | Colts v. Texans -4.5 | Top | 24-21 | Loss | -110 | 147 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL) ATS The Houston Texans are the hottest team in the NFL coming off nine straight wins, a streak that started with a 37-34 OT win over the Colts. The Texans had no trouble whatsoever to take care of business against Cleveland last week (29-13 triumph) and look like a solid home favorite here against Indianapolis in Week 14. The Colts had won five straight before losing all momentum with a deflating 6-0 loss at Jacksonville last week. They managed just 265 yards of total offense in the defeat and QB Andrew Luck was sacked three times. This figures to another tough matchup for Luck and the rest of the Colt as they'll be coming up against one of the best defenses in the league. Houston ranks 4th in the NFL for points allowed and is tied for third with 41.0 sacks.  Houston could clinch a playoff berth and the AFC South division title with a win here so there's plenty of motivation for the home team on top of trying to keep the winning streak alive. 10* play on Houston Texans. |
|||||||
12-09-18 | Patriots v. Dolphins UNDER 47 | Top | 33-34 | Loss | -110 | 110 h 7 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL) TOTAL The New England Patriots put a 38-7 beating on Miami at Foxboro back in September. Their scoring has slowed down since though and the Pats have averaged only 20.3 ppg through their last three games. It's no coincidence that two of those games where on the road where NE is averaging 21.7 ppg on the season, and here it'll face a Miami team which has held opponents to 20.5 ppg in six games at Hard Rock Stadium. Offensively, Miami does not pose much of a threat and ranks 29th in the NFL for total offense with 302.1 ypg. Under is 8-2 in Patriots last 10 road games. Under is 5-0 in Patriots last five games overall and 4-0 in Dolphins last four games overall. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-08-18 | Navy v. Army -7 | Top | 10-17 | Push | 0 | 6 h 58 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (CFB) The Army Black Knights have won the last two meetings with Navy Midshipmen despite closing at underdogs in both games. They're a rather sizable favorite in this year's matchup but I fully expect them to win by double digits. Army enters this contest on a seven-game winning streak and boasts good numbers on both sides of the ball. It owns the No. 12 rush defense in the nation, giving up just 106.5 yards so Navy's No. 3 rushing game could be in big trouble. Defensively, Navy has been poor this season allowing 438.9 yards per game and 34.9 points per game. The Black Knights have lost just two games all season, one of them an OT loss at Oklahoma as a 30-point underdog. They're clearly the superior team here and I expect the final score to reflect that. 10* play on Army Black Knights. |
|||||||
12-02-18 | Vikings v. Patriots UNDER 49.5 | Top | 10-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL) TOTAL The Minnesota Vikings limited Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers to a season-worst 198 yards and sacked him four times in last week's 24-17 win. They're allowing just 276.6 ypg since Week 4 and I think they'll give Tom Brady and the New England Patriots offense plenty of problems here on Sunday. The Pats have scored a combined 37 points through their last two games with each of their last four going under the total. Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-02-18 | Rams -9.5 v. Lions | Top | 30-16 | Win | 100 | 148 h 37 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NFL) SIDE The LA Rams are coming off their bye week and look primed to put a massive beating on Detroit Sunday afternoon. The Lions season is all but over after losing four of their last five and they lost by a touchdown against the Bears on Thanksgiving. Here they'll face a Rams team which has lost just one game all season (to New Orleans) and we can note that the Rams are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a bye week. The Rams rank 2nd in the NFL for total offense with 448.6 yards per game and QB Jared Goff threw for 413 yards and four touchdowns in a 54-51 win over the Chiefs in Week 11. Running back Todd Gurley was limited by an ankle issue against the Chiefs but is expected to be fine for this matchup; bad bad news for Detroit. 10* play on LA Rams. |
|||||||
12-01-18 | Northwestern v. Ohio State -14 | Top | 24-45 | Win | 100 | 62 h 46 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (CFB) The No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes put a 62-39 beating on seventh-ranked Michigan last week. I think they'll win in a rout again when taking on Northwestern Wildcats in the Big Ten Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis Saturday night. Northwestern defeated Illinois last week but failed to cover the spread and gave up 435 yards of total offense while generating only 371 yards of offense themselves. Here they'll face an Ohio team which averages 544.6 yards on the season and toyed with Michigan's top ranked defense. Buckeyes QB Dwayne Haskins completed 20-of-31 passes for 396 yards and six touchdowns and the Buckeyes racked up 567 total yards in the victory. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is determined to have his players ready for this game: "I'm going to be very hard on everybody this week, and we cannot see anything other than the same effort we did last week," Meyer said, later adding, "When you win and you win the way you did, now that's the time to cut it loose and be very, over-the-top demanding of them." 10* play on Ohio State Buckeyes. |

12-01-18 | Fresno State v. Boise State UNDER 53 | Top | 19-16 | Win | 100 | 61 h 57 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (CFB) TOTAL The Fresno State Bulldogs are giving up only 13.5 ppg on the season and all but one of their last nine games have gone under the total. The Boise State Broncos are holding teams to 22.3 ppg overall which drops to 18.5 ppg at home and six of their last eight have gone under the total. This will be the fourth meeting in just over a year and the second straight time Fresno State and Boise State will compete in the Mountain West championship game. BSU won last year's title game 17-14 and none of the last three meetings have been even close to go over the total posted for this matchup. 10* play on UNDER. |
