01-19-20 | Titans +9 v. Chiefs | Top | 24-35 | Loss | -125 | 150 h 14 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on the Tennessee Titans. If you're betting on this game, then I don't need to break down the strengths and weaknesses of each team. We all know the story lines here. What I will do though is pose a question to you. If the Titans had jumped out to the same lead in which the Texans did last week over the Chiefs, do you think they'd have tragically choked it away in the same fashion? I say no way. Tennessee's defense and its run first offense have been firing on all cylinders for months now and I would have expected them to grind out the victory in that case. It was an unbelievable set of circumstances which led to KC's historic come from behind blowout victory. The Texans had a complete mental collapse and the Chiefs rode a wave of incredible momentum to the improbable result. The Titans beat the Chiefs 35-32 earlier in the year and I believe they have a legitimate shot at doing that again today. Key Trends: - The Titans are 5-3 ATS as an underdog this year. - Tennessee is 7-3 ATS on the road. - The Chiefs are already interestingly 0-2 ATS this year after scoring 25 points or more in two straight games. The verdict: In a game which I believe will be decided by whichever of these talented teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points! |

01-12-20 | Texans +9.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 31-51 | Loss | -120 | 172 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR is on the Texans. Will rest lead to rust for the Chiefs? I'm involved in a "Straight Up" Playoff Pool this year and all 40 people chose the Ravens to beat the Titans SU yesterday. Did rest lead to rust for LaMar Jackson and company? It certainly can't be ignored as a potential reason in why the Ravens had such a big collapse. But it also comes down to game-planning and coaching. The Texans have a more capable QB in Deshaun Watson directing the show today and I think he has much more than just a "punchers chance" here this afternoon. The Texans have playmakers on offense in Carlos Hyde, DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills. Yes the Chiefs look better on paper. Yes they have the home field advantage. But that sure didn't help the Ravens yesterday. I see a lot of similarties here today. Watson and company aren't going to be intimidated and they're no less "hungry" than the Chiefs. Key Trends: - KC is just 1-5 ATS in its last six playoff home ames. - The Chiefs are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven playoff games when playing the role of favorite. - The Texans are 5-2 ATS in their last seven as an underdog and 5-2 ATS in their last seven on the road as well. The verdict: I like Watson to contorl the clock while on offense and while I will stop short in calling for the outright upset, let's grab the points and expect a nail-biter! |

01-11-20 | Vikings +7.5 v. 49ers | 10-27 | Loss | -130 | 103 h 29 m | Show | |
My 8* SPECIAL is on the Minnesota Vikings. The 49ers got injured in the second half of the regular season and they enter this one still banged up somewhat. Is San Francisco' QB Jimmy Garropolo better than Vikes' pivot Kirk Cousins? He's certainly not more experienced. Minnesota's offense is firing on all cylinders and the fact that it just kept Drew Brees and the Saints' under wraps in their own building on the road in the Wild Card proves that its defense is among the best as well. Honestly I see no advantage for San Francisco here, other than the "home field" advantage. And to me, that's definitely not worth a TD's worth of points (give or take.) Key Trends: - Minnesota is 3-1 ATS in its last four as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. - San Francisco is only 3-4 ATS this year as a home favorite. The verdict: The Vikings got healthier and better over the second half. The 49ers got injured and exposed in the same time period. Outright victory?! Very possible! But in a game which I see coming down to whichever of these talented sides has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points! |

01-05-20 | Seahawks -1.5 v. Eagles | Top | 17-9 | Win | 100 | 126 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* SUPER SIDE PLAY is on the Hawks. Clearly the oddsmakers think these teams are evenly matched. The Eagles have home field advantage, so that's a big plus for them obviously. If this game was in Seattle, the Hawks would be favored by around -4.5 or so? Regardless of that though, I think that Russell Wilson is better than Carson Wentz and I believe he has a better and healthier group of playmakers around him. That's the bottom line here from a situational stand point anyways. Key Trends: - Seattle is 4-1 ATS on the road. - The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six off a loss by six points or less. - Philly is already 0-3 ATS this season after allowing 17 points or less in two straight games. The verdict: Wentz is lacking options and an injured Zach Ertz isn't going to save the day. I'm on Seattle! |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Titans +5 v. Patriots | 20-13 | Win | 100 | 106 h 31 m | Show | |
My 9* SIDE WINNER is on the Tennessee Titans. The Patriots have Tom Brady, Bill Bellichick, home field advantage and experience on their side today. These four factors have carried this organization for a decade, but this season more than ever, it appears for sure that Brady has taken a major step back. His defense has had to carry the load for the most part this season. Last week in a big game he choked and lost to the lowly Dolphins. If this isn't a major warning sign, I don't know what is? Tennessee wants to make history today. Trust me, the other teams in the league are tired of the Patriots making all the headlines and if they have a chance to kick them when they're down, they're going to do it. With nothing to lose, I think that Derrick Henry, Ryan Tannehill and the hungry Titans have much more than just a "punchers chance" in this one vs. this shaky Patriots team. Key Trends: - Tennessee is 5-3 ATS on the road this year. - New England is 3-4 ATS at home this season. - The Patriots are only 1-5 ATS this year vs. teams with winning records. The verdict: I think this one comes down to the wire and in a contest like that, I'll grab the points! |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Bills +3 v. Texans | Top | 19-22 | Push | 0 | 102 h 43 m | Show |
My 10* SIDE WINNER is on the Buffalo Bills. DeShaun Watson is a better QB than Josh Allen. And that's big. It's the most important position on the field of play. Combined with the "home field" advantage, clearly the underdog Bills have their work cut out for them this afternoon. But other than the QB position, I believe Buffalo has the advantage in all three phases. The Bills were good on the road this season as well, finishing 4-0 ATS as an away underdog and 6-0 ATS overall. Key Trends: - Buffalo is 3-0 ATS this year off a home loss. - Texans are 2-6 ATS at home this season. - Houston is a poor 1-6 ATS as a favorite this year. The verdict: I'll even recommend to sprinkle a little on the money line here, but the official play is the Bills and the points! |

01-02-20 | Boston College v. Cincinnati -7 | Top | 6-38 | Win | 100 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on Cincinnati. BC is 6-6 and I think it'll have its hands full here vs. 10-3 Cincinnati. BC lost three of five down the stretch, and only became eligible in its final game of the season by beating the Panthers. Cincinnati lost two in a row to end the year, once in the regular season finale to Memphis and then once again to the Tigers in the conference championship game. The Eagles will be without coach Steve Addazio, who was let go. Rich Gunnell is the interim. BC relies heavily upon the run game of AJ Dillon, who had 1,600 yards on the year, but who will be sitting this one out as he prepares for the NFL draft. The Bearcats have a powerful RB in Michael Warren, who had 1,300 yards and 16 TD's. QB Desmond Ridder is a dual threat and he finished with 17 TD's and nine INT's.) Key Trends: - BC is just 1-3 ATS in its last four when playing with two weeks or more of rest. - Cincinnati is 5-1 ATS in its last six off a road loss (including 2-0 ATS this season.) The verdict: Injuries to Dillon will prove to be too much for BC to overcome here; lay the points! |

01-01-20 | Michigan +7.5 v. Alabama | Top | 16-35 | Loss | -115 | 410 h 18 m | Show |
My 10* BOWL GAME OF THE YEAR is on Michigan. I think Michigan's defense can keep it competitive in this one. Each of the Wolverines last four victories came by at least 25 points, as QB Shea Patterson finished with 22 TD's and six INT's. Michigan's strength was on defense though, especially against the run, conceding only 3.03 YPC. The Alabama defense looked shaky this year. Note that it conceded at least 46 points in two of its last four games. The Tide had a fairly easy schedule as well this year. QB Mac Jones is a capable backup for Tua Tagovailoa, but I give the nod to Patterson in the QB matchup department for sure. Key Trends: - The Tide are a poor 5-14 ATS in their last 19 following a SU loss. - The Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last five vs. teams with winning records. The verdict: Alabama is "supposed" to be in the Playoff, but it's not this year. The Citrus Bowl isn't that big and I believe the Tide come in disinterested. I also believe their defense is vastly over-rated. While I do think the outright is possible, in the end let's grab the points! |

12-31-19 | Texas v. Utah -7 | Top | 38-10 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
My 10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on Utah. Texas has two very good offensive players in QB Sam Ehlinger and in RB Keaontay Ingram. Ehlinger had 29 TD's and the Longhorns average 35 PPG. Ingram had 795 yards rushing and six TD's, but he's listed as questionable for this game with an ankle injury. In fact, several key players on both sides of the ball are questionable for this one for Texas. Overall the Longhorns conceded 28.9 PPG. The Utes average 34 PPG and they concede just 13.2. They got upset by Oregon 37-15 in the Pac 12 Championship, a loss which coach Kyle Whittingham won't take lightly in my opinion. With one last chance for national redemption, I like the Utes behind QB Tyler Huntley to deliver the goods here. RB Zack Moss finished with 15 rushing TD's and Huntley had 18 TDs, compared to just four INTs. Of note that Utah comes into this bowl game with zero significant injuries. Key Trends: - Utes are 8-1 ATS in their last nine as a favorite. - Utah is 4-1 ATS in its last five vs. teams with winning records. - Texas is 1-5 ATS in its last six following an ATS win. The verdict: I believe the Utes' suffocating defense proves to be too much for the Longhorns to contend with tonight; lay the points! |

12-30-19 | Virginia +14.5 v. Florida | Top | 28-36 | Win | 100 | 35 h 51 m | Show |
My 10* play is on UVA. Virginia was crushed 62-17 by Clemson in the ACC Title game, but the Cavs made big strides this season by finishing 9-4. The Cavaliers will have their hands full with a Florida team which finished 10-2. Virginia is led by QB Bryce Perkins. The Cavs average 32.4 PPG and they concede 26.5. Florida is led by Kyle Trask, who has 24 TD's and just six INT's. Overall the Gators average 33.3 PPG and concede 14.4. Key Trends: - UVA is 3-1 ATS in its last four after a loss by 17 points or more. - The Cavs are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 after a loss vs. the spread. - Florida is only 2-4 ATS in its last six when playing with two weeks or more of rest. The verdict: I see UVA hanging around late and while I'll stop short in calling for an outright upset, all signs point to this one being a lot more competitive than what Las Vegas is trying to lead us to believe; grab the points! |

12-30-19 | Illinois +6.5 v. California | 20-35 | Loss | -103 | 31 h 47 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on Illinois. Both teams finished 6-6. The Fighting Illini though lost their final two games, while the Golden Bears squeaked in by winning their final two. Cal' QB Chase Garbers had 1,500 passing yards on the season, while Christopher Bron Jr. rushed for 794 yards and eight TD's. Cal only concedes 22.1 PPG, which ranks it 32nd in the natoin. Unfortunately though the Bears average just 20.1 PPG. Whether it's Matt Robinson, or Brandon Peters under center, I like Illinois here. The Fighting Illini defense is under-rated here in my opinion, as it concedes just 25.4 PPG. The offense averages 27.1. Key Trends: - Illinois is 6-1 ATS as an underdog this year. - The Fighting Illini are already 2-0 ATS this year off a loss by ten points or more to a conference rival. - Cal is 1-4 ATS this season after a SU victory. The verdict: I like Illinois' defense to step up big here vs. this Cal offense which struggles at the best of times to post production. While I do in fact feel the outright is very possible, let's grab the points in the end! |

12-29-19 | Steelers v. Ravens +2 | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 76 h 58 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Baltimore Ravens. Pittsburgh needs to win this game and get some extra help to make the playoffs. It's not impossible, just unlikely. The Ravens have already clinched home field advantage and they'll be turning to RG 3 under center. Regardless of all of these facts, I still like the Ravens to find a way to get the job done here and stick it to their division rival. Devlin Hodges had two INT's vs. the Jets last weekend and I think he'll struggle here in this difficult road venue. The Ravens turn to RG 3 and he'll be playing with a chip on his shoulder. I expect the veteran to run this offense seamlessly, as he and Lamar Jackson do in fact have very similar play styles. Key Trends: - The Ravens concede just 18.1 PPG, good for third in the league. - Baltimore is 8-1 ATS in its last nine following a SU victory. - Pittsburgh is 4-8 ATS in its last 12 as a road favorite. The verdict: Clearly I believe the outright win is in the cards, but let's grab the points! |

12-29-19 | Raiders +3.5 v. Broncos | 15-16 | Win | 100 | 76 h 58 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Oakland Raiders. The Broncos are out of the playoffs and their only motivation today is to play spoiler vs. the Raiders here, who need to win and get some outside help before they can earn a playoff spot. The Raiders were disastrous last year and not much was expected of them this season either, so I think it is in fact a big testament to Jon Gruden's coaching skills that the team is in the position that it's in at the moment. The Raiders come in with momentum as well after a win over the Chargers last weekend. QB Derek Carr has a decent 20 TD's to just eight INT's. RB Josh Jacobs is a difference maker as well, as he has 1,150 rushing yards and seven TD's this year. Denver's looked a bit better of late, winning three of its last four, but it's clearly too little too late. Last week they got destroyed 23-3 on the road in KC. Key Trends: - Oakland is already 3-1 ATS this year as a road dog of seven points or less. - Denver is a terrible 6-13 ATS in its last 19 as a favorite. The verdict: I like Gruden and Carr to continue to surprise people this season witn another victory in this crucial spot (that said, let's grab the points!) |

12-29-19 | Eagles -4.5 v. Giants | Top | 34-17 | Win | 100 | 76 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* play is on the Eagles. Despite being down several players today, I like the Eagles to find a way to get the job done here vs. the Giants, who can only help themselves with another loss, as far as bettering their chances in the upcoming draft this summer. Philly can clinch the NFC East with a win today after beating the Cowboys last weekend. Carson Wentz has been better than average with a 26:7 TD:INT. New York has won two in a row, including a 41-35 OT victory vs. the Skins on the road last weekend. But playing the hapless Skins is one thing and facing this playoff hopeful Eagles team is quite another. QB Daniel Jones has a 23:11 TD:INT. Key Trends: - Philadelphia is 3-1 ATS already this season off a division game. - The Eagles are 7-0 ATS in their last seven off an upset win as an underdog. - The Giants are only 4-12 ATS in their last 16 as a home dog (which includes going 0-4 ATS this season.) The verdict: I think the writing is on the wall and a blowout is in the cards; lay the points! |

12-28-19 | Memphis +7 v. Penn State | Top | 39-53 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* BEATDOWN is on Memphis. The Tigers are a good team. They've won seven in a row. That includes a 29-24 victory over Cincinnati in the AAC Championship a couple of weeks ago. QB Brady White has 3,560 yards passing to go along with 33 TD's and only nine INT's. RB Kenneth Gainwell has 1,425 yards rushing, which is sixth best in the country. Overall the Tigers post a whopping 39.3 PPG. Penn State opened with eight straight victories, but it closed by losing two of three. The Nittany Lions ended their season with an uninspiring 27-6 win over Rutgers. QB Sean Clifford has 2,521 passing yards with 22 TD's and only six INT's. Overall the Nittany Lions average 30.3 PPG and concede 14.7. Key Trends: - Memphis is interestingly 4-0 ATS in its last four after a close win by seven points or less over a conference rival. - Penn State is already just 2-3 ATS this year after a win by 21 points or more. The verdict: I think Memphis has a very realistic chance of winning this one outright. I believe that Penn State's defense is going to be pushed to the brink. That said, let's grab the points! |
|||||||
12-27-19 | Michigan State v. Wake Forest +4 | Top | 27-21 | Loss | -110 | 31 h 36 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on Wake Forest. Michigan State was 6-6 this year. It closed out by beating bottom feeders Rutgers and Maryland to reach eligibility. Brian Lewerke leads an offense that averages 238.5 yards per game through the air. MSU's run game is poor though, averaging only 123 YPG, which ranks it outside the top 100. The Deacons though average 297.8 YPG through the air. MSU hasn't been nearly as sharp in defending the pass this year, conceding 210.6 YPG. QB Jamie Newman has 2,693 passing yards with 23 TDs and ten INTs. Key Trends: - Michigan State is just 3-5 ATS as a favorite this season. - The Spartans are 2-4 ATS in their last six when playing on two or more weeks of rest. - The Deacons are 8-2 ATS in their last ten after allowing 37 points or more in their previous outing (including 2-0 ATS this season.) The verdict: I think that Newman keeps his team competitive throughout and while clearly the outright isn't out of the question, in the end I'll recommend to grab the points! |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Pittsburgh v. Eastern Michigan +11.5 | Top | 34-30 | Win | 100 | 36 h 24 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on EMU. Pitt lost its final two games of the year, including a 26-19 home loss to Boston College. EMU also lost its finale, falling 34-26 to Kent State. Pitt' QB Kenny Pickett has a weak 10:9 TD:INT this year. The Panthers average only 20.1 PPG, while conceding 21.8. Eastern Michigan is averaging 29.1 PPG and it's conceding 30.3. But QB Mike Glass III won't be going down without a fight today in my opinion. Note that Glass finished with a 22:10 TD:INT. Key Trends: - The Panthers are just 1-4 ATS in their last five neutral site games. - The Eagles are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 following an ATS loss. - EMU is a sharp 17-5 ATS in its last 22 non-conference games. The verdict: I think the offensively challenged Panthers have a difficult time keeping pace and while I'll stop short in calling for the outright upset, everything definitely points to a much closer battle than what this spread would suggest in my opinion; grab the points! |
|||||||
12-24-19 | BYU v. Hawaii +2 | Top | 34-38 | Win | 100 | 57 h 23 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on Hawaii. Both teams were on quite the role until their final contest, losing badly in their finales. BYU had won five in a row and averaged 39.8 PPG during, however it came up short 13-3 vs. SDSU in its final game of the year. Hawaii lost 31-10 to Boise State in the MWC Championship Game. The Warriors average 33.6 PPG and they allow 31.7. QB Cole McDonald led his team to a 6-2 record at home as well. BYU only allows 24.4 PPG, but it only averages 28. QB Zach Wilson has 2,108 passing yards and 11 TD's. Key Trends: - BYU is just 8-13 ATS in its last 21 as a favorite (including 0-6 ATS this season.) - The Cougars are only 2-4 ATS on the road this year. - Hawaii is 3-1 ATS in its last four after a loss by 21 points or more. The verdict: Yes the Warriors are terrible defensively, but I think that Wilson and this Cougar offense will struggle to keep pace down the stretch with the home side; grab the point/s! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Cowboys v. Eagles +2 | Top | 9-17 | Win | 100 | 51 h 55 m | Show |
My 10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys come in off a big 44-21 win at home over the Rams last weekend. Previous to that they'd dropped three straight. This isn't a letdown spot for Dallas, as a win today will clinch it the division. I just think it's terrible inconsistency in its play from week to week once again comes back to haunt it here. The Eagles' are 7-7 also and if they want to earn the division crown, they have to win this game today and also next week vs. the Giants. That's obviously a very "doable" task and I think that the home field advantage does matter in this instance. The Eagles pulled away for a crucial 37-27 win over Washington last week and I believe they carry that momenumt over here. Key Trends: - The Cowboys are a poor 2-3 ATS in their last five as a road favorite of three points or less (including 0-1 ATS this year.) - Philadelphia is 3-1 ATS in its last four as a home dog of three points or less. The verdict: I like Carson Wentz and the home side to grind out a victory in front of the home town crowd; that said, grab the points! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Jaguars v. Falcons -7 | 12-24 | Win | 100 | 48 h 31 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams come in off rare victories, but neither will be involved in the post-season. In this meaningless Week 16 contest, I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor once it's all said and done. The Falcons though have won four of their last six games, while the Jags had lost six in a row before picking up a win over the hapless Raiders last weekend. The Jags needed a miracle to come from behind at 16-3 at halftime. Atlanta QB' Matt Ryan is a difference maker for me, as the veteran has 3,749 passing yards, to go along with 24 TD's and 12 INT's. Key Trends: - Atlanta is 5-1 ATS the last six in this series. - Jacksonville is just 2-9 ATS in its last 11 non-conference games (including 0-3 ATS this year.) The verdict: As mentioned above, I like Ryan to easily outduel his rookie counterpart; lay the points! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Saints v. Titans +3 | 38-28 | Loss | -125 | 48 h 31 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Titans. Here's another one where I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor once it's all said and done. New Orleans is in the playoffs, but it's still fighting for home field. The Titans though lost to Houston last weekend, meaning that this is a "must win" contest. And I believe that matters today. It sets up as a letdown/trap for the Saints, who saw veteran QB Drew Brees break Peyton Manning's all time TD record in last week's 34-7 blowout victory at home over the Colts. Ryan Tannehill isn't given much credit, but I think the Titans' QB is a difference maker today, so far he has 2,272 yards and a sharp 17:6 TD:INT. Key Trends: - Interestingly, the Saints are just 1-3 ATS in the last two weeks of the regular season over the last two years. - The Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last six as a home dog (including 1-0 ATS this season.) The verdict: Look for the "hungrier" team to pull it off this afternoon; that said, grab the points! |
|||||||
12-22-19 | Steelers v. Jets +3 | 10-16 | Win | 105 | 48 h 31 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the New York Jets. Following a pattern here with this all early three-game NFL report, sees the "home field advantage" as a deciding factor in this contest in my opinion. Pittsburgh "has" to win this game if it has any hopes of a playoff spot. Last week the Steelers fell 17-10 to the Bills and another loss here will be the final nail in the coffin to their season. Of course, Devlin Hodges will get the call under center for Pittsburgh today, its third string QB, who looked terrible last week at home vs. the Bills. Sam Darnold has looked decent at times this year and with a game in Buffalo next weekend to finish off the 2019/20 campaign, I believe he'll be given the green light to test this now weary Steelers' defenese, which has had to shoulder the load all year. Key Trends: - Pittsburgh is just 1-3 ATS in its last four after allowing 17 points or less in three straight games. - New York is 10-4 ATS in its last 14 as a home underdog. The verdict: I think this one sets up nicely for the home side; that said, grab the points! |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Rams v. 49ers -6.5 | Top | 31-34 | Loss | -101 | 80 h 56 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH-OF-THE-TITANS is on the San Francisco 49ers. While the 49ers' surge has slowed down over the last month, I think they bounce back here and destroy this "on again, off again" Rams team. San Francisco will be plenty motivated here after falling at home to the lowly Falcons last weekend. It was a difficult spot though, as they had just come off a massive shootout road win over the the Saints. But I think the home side gets back on track in this favorable spot and lays the hammer down early and often. The Rams were crushed by the Cowboys last weekend and I think they'll have a hard time mustering up much of an attack here either. LA's defense has been stout so far this season, but I believe it takes a step back here vs. Jimmy Garoppolo and company. Key Trends: - LA is only 4-5 ATS in its last nine as an underdog. - The Rams are a poor 2-3 ATS in their last five following a road loss. - San Fran is 5-1 ATS this year vs. teams with winning records. The verdict: I like the focussed 49ers to deal the knock out blow to the Rams frustrating season; lay the points! |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Central Michigan +3.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 11-48 | Loss | -105 | 73 h 18 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on CMU. I think the Chips throw everything at this stiny Aztecs team and while I obviously wouldn't be shocked by an outright upset, I'll in the end take the points in a contest which I think'll be decided by whichever of these hungry teams has its hands on the ball last. CMU was 1-11 last year, but it finished 8-5 this season. The Chips won three in a row before falling 26-24 to Miami Ohio in the MAC Title game. So far the MAC has dominated early in these Bowl games and I like that trend to continue here with Quinten Dormady leading the charge. Dormady had 2,148 passing yards with a 14:6 TD:INT. RB's Kobe Lewis and Jon Ward each finished with 1,000 yards rushing this season. SDSU only allows 12.8 PPG, but I think the Aztecs struggle to contain this balanced offense of CMU. SDSU does not have a big running game, which makes Ryan Agnew, who had 2,175 passing yards and an 11:5 TD:INT, very one dimensional here. Key Trends: - CMU is 4-1 ATS in its last five as an underdog. - The Chips are 3-1 ATS in non-conference games this season. - SDSU is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 vs. teams with winning records. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, grab the points! |
|||||||
12-20-19 | Kent State v. Utah State -6.5 | Top | 51-41 | Loss | -109 | 34 h 47 m | Show |
My 10* SPECIAL is on Utah State. This is only the third time in Kent State's history that it's been to a bowl game. The Golden Flashes finished only 6-6, but a three-game win streak at the end likely helped in their cause ultimatley. Utah State though has the much better defense and I think that the unit will prove to be the difference maker here. Aggies' QB Jordan Love is also a key factor here, as he's projected to be a top 10 QB in the upcoming NFL draft. The Flashes counter with Dustin Crum, who has 2,333 yards passing this year (Love has 3,085.) Key Trends: - Kent State is 5-7 ATS in its last 12 non-conference games (including just 1-3 ATS this year.) - Utah State is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 as a favorite (including 5-2 ATS this season.) The verdict: I think Love will go ballistic on this suspect Kent secondary and I like the Aggies to shut down Crum; lay the points! |
|||||||
12-16-19 | Colts +10 v. Saints | Top | 7-34 | Loss | -121 | 37 h 2 m | Show |
My 10* U OF THE U is on the Colts. The Saints have locked up the NFC South, but they're still playing for better positioning. The Colts' red hot start to the season is firmly in the rear view mirror, but they can still make a wild card spot with a victory today. The Saints' defense was exposed early and often by the 49ers last week and I think that Jacoby Brissett and the Colts' offense will have their opportunities today. Clearly the Colts' defense will have its hands full, but I expect the visitors to fight until the final whistle. Key Trends: - Indy is 6-2 ATS in its last eight after allowing 30 or more points in its last game (including 2-0 ATS this year.) - New Orleans is just 1-6 ATS in its last seven as a home favorite in the 7.5 to ten points range. The verdict: I do indeed feel that the Colts can keep this one competitive throughout vs. a very shaky Saints' secondary; grab the points! |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Bills +1.5 v. Steelers | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 35 h 33 m | Show | |
My 9* DESTROYER is on the Bills. These teams play similar styles, but I think that the Bills have a much better QB in place in Josh Allen, over Steelers third-stringer Devlin Hodges. Hodges had 147 yards and a TD last week vs. the Cardinals, but I believe the Steelers' offense will struggle to do anything today vs. a Bills' defense which is conceding only 16.3 PPG. Key Trends: - Pittsburgh is interestingly just 1-4 ATS in its last five after posting less than 150 passing yards in its previous game. - Buffalo is 6-0-1 ATS in its last seven on the road. - The Bills are 5-1 ATS in their last six as a road dog. The verdict: Look for Allen to be the key to our victory today; play on the Bills! |
|||||||
12-15-19 | Texans v. Titans -3 | Top | 24-21 | Loss | -102 | 27 h 17 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on the Titans. Houston is 8-5. Tennessee is 8-5. Two teams enter, only one will leave with a victory. This is obviously a big game. Momentum is a big part of sports success and right now, the Titans have a ton of it. The Texans on other hand have been floundering of late. Suffice it to say, I expect both these trends to continue over in a big way here. Houston lost 38-24 at home to Denver last weekend, while Tennessee enters having won four in a row behind the resurgent play of QB Ryan Tannehill. Key Trends: - Tennessee is 4-0-1 ATS in its last five as a favorite. - Houston is 3-11 ATS in its last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The verdict: I think Tannehill is playing as good or better than Texans' QB DeShaun Watson. However, I like the Titans in every other aspect here and that makes the home side the correct call for sure; lay the short points! |
|||||||
12-12-19 | Jets +16.5 v. Ravens | Top | 21-42 | Loss | -125 | 86 h 37 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE MONTH is on the New York Jets. I'll be the first to tell you that LaMar Jackson is deserving of the MVP award this year. The dynamic QB continues to set the league on fire and now his team is starting to play better on the defensive side of the ball as well. But the Jets have won four of five after last week's 21-20 win over Miami. In that contest, RB Le'Veon Bell did not play, but he's ready to go tonight. New York' QB Sam Darnold has looked brilliant one week and pretty ordinary the next, but the pivot is playing his best of the season right now, going for nine major scores and just two picks over his last five games. The Jets have to run the table to earn a wild card spot, so tonight's contest is "do or die" for New York. Key Trends: - The Jets are 6-2 ATS in their last eightafter two or more consecutive losses vs. the spread. - The Ravens are only 8-15 ATS in their last 23 at home (including just 2-4 ATS this season.) The verdict: I believe the "hungrier" team throws a big scare into the entitled home side; grab the points! |
|||||||
12-09-19 | Giants +10.5 v. Eagles | Top | 17-23 | Win | 100 | 34 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* WINNER is on the New York Giants. Can the Giants win this one outright? Anything's possible of course, but I don't think it's likely. That said, with extended time off and with one last chance to prove himself, I think that Giants' veteran QB Eli Manning has an effecient enough game to keep his team in this one late. Manning has a lot to play for here, not only pride but with a chance to put the final nail in the coffin of the Eagles' playoff hopes. Manning has 566 passing yards, two TD's and two INT's this year in his limited time. Philly doesn't allow many rushing yards (91), but keep your eyes on RB Saquon Barkley all the same, as he has 544 rushing yards and two TD's this year. Philly has Washington on the road next weekend, followed by a home game vs. Dallas and then on the road vs. these very Giants to finish it off. Can Carson Wentz and the home side stay focussed on the task at hand? Key Trends: - New York is 13-6 ATS in its last 19 as a road dog. - The Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last six after scoring 17 points or less in two straight games. - The Eagles are 0-3 ATS in their last three as a home favorite in the 7.5 to ten points range. The verdict: Bengals' QB Andy Dalton responded with a big game in his first game back after being benched and I think that Manning has the same effort here; that said, grab the points! |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Chiefs v. Patriots -2.5 | 23-16 | Loss | -135 | 102 h 16 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Patriots. KC beat Oakland 40-9 last week, but I think the Chiefs will have their hands full with a Patriots team coming off a listless 28-22 setback to the Texans. The annual parade of Tom Brady nay-sayers is out in full force now that the Pats' offense has been pretty lacklustre over the last month or so. Both teams are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, but I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor today. Key Trends: - KC is only 9-10 ATS in its last 19 vs. teams with winning records (including only 2-3 ATS this season.) - NE is 8-2 ATS in its last ten as a home favorite of seven points or less. The verdict: This is a spot in which Brady and New England have dominated in over the years and with their backs against the wall, I look for them to deliver in front of the home town crowd; lay the short points! |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Broncos v. Texans -9 | 38-24 | Loss | -115 | 99 h 52 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Houston Texans. Houston is 8-4 and still looking for more as it tries to lock down a playoff spot. Denver is coming off a 23-20 win over the hapless Chargers, but at 4-8 it literally has less than a 1 percent chance of making the playoffs. The Texans are firing on all cylinders in winning four of their last five. QB DeShaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins are both ranked in the Top 5 in their respective positions. The defense catches a break here as well facing a Denver unit which has struggled with offensive consistency all year. Key Trends: - Denver is just 8-14 ATS in its last 22 on the road. - The Broncos are only 7-9 ATS in their last 16 vs. teams with winning reocrds. The verdict: With tough upcoming games to end the year, this is a contest which the Texans can ill afford to look past. Lay the points, expect a rout! |
|||||||
12-08-19 | Bengals +10 v. Browns | 19-27 | Win | 100 | 99 h 51 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Bengals. The Bengals would love nothing more than to play spoiler on the Browns here, as another loss will essentially be the nail in the coffin as far as their playoff hopes are concerned. Cleveland is 5-7 and Cincinnati is 1-11. The Bengals destroyed the Jets 22-6 last week for their first win of the year and after that impressive performance on both sides of the ball, I look for them to carry that momentum over here. Last week the Browns lost 20-13 to the Steelers and I think they struggle once again with consistency on both sides of the ball. Key Trends: - The Bengals are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 as a road dog (including 4-1 ATS this season.) - The Browns are only 9-11 ATS in their last 20 at home (including only 2-3 ATS this year.) The verdict: I like Bengals' veteran QB Andy Dalton to severely outplay Browns' QB Baker Mayfield and while I'll stop short in calling for the outright upset, everything points to this one coming down to the wire; grab the points! |
|||||||
12-08-19 | 49ers v. Saints -2.5 | Top | 48-46 | Loss | -107 | 99 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* play is on the New Orleans Saints. The 49ers are now 10-2 after falling 20-17 to Baltimore last week. San Francisco faces a 10-2 Saints team which enters off a big 26-18 victory over Atlanta. In the early going all the talk has been about the 49ers' defensive play, which has been pretty good for the most part this season. But note that the Saints are actually fourth in the league in sacks with 40 so far this year. New Orleans has also scored at least 26 points in ts last three games, with QB Drew Brees throwing for 726 yards and seven TD's in that span. Key Trends: - The 49ers are only 1-4 ATS in their last five off a road cover where it lost SU as an underdog. - The Saints are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 off a road victory (including 3-1 ATS this year.) The verdict: I think San Francisco stumbles in this difficult road venue; lay the short points! |
|||||||
12-07-19 | Miami-OH v. Central Michigan -6.5 | 26-21 | Loss | -118 | 99 h 34 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on CMU. The Redhawks won't be able to keep pace with the Chips in my opinion down the stretch. CMU has won six of its last six, including destroying Toledo 49-7 this past weekend. Miami on the other hand lost to Ball State 41-27 to close out its regular season at 7-5. I think Chips' senior QB Quentin Dormady is a difference maker here. He enters on top form, having posted 250 passing yards in each of his past five games. RedHawks' QB Brett Gabbert has passed for under 150 yards in three straight games. Key Trends: - Miami Ohio is only just 2-6 ATS in its last eight off a road loss. - CMU is 4-0 ATS in its last four following a SU win by 20 points or more. The verdict: Detroit is only a two hour drive from Pleasant Hill, so the Chips will have a sizeable "home field" advantage. I think the experience that senior Dormady brings to the table wins the day; lay the points! |
|||||||
12-07-19 | UL-Lafayette +7 v. Appalachian State | Top | 38-45 | Push | 0 | 99 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* play is on Lafayette. To say this is a "revenge" game would be an understatement, as App State has won seven straight in this series (is 4-3 ATS in those games.) UL Lafayette held on for a win over UL Monroe last week, with QB Levi Lewis going for 270 yards and three TD's. I think he'll have enough to keep his team in this one late. And he'll of course be leaning heavily on a run game which averages a whopping 274 YPG this season, led by Raymond Calais. The Mountaineers like to run the ball as well behind the strong play of Darrynton Evans. QB Zack Thomas though has also been great, with ten TD's and no picks over his last three games. Key Trends: - The Cajuns are 4-1 ATS in their last five as a road dog of seven points or less. - Louisiana Lafayette is 4-0 ATS in its last four in revenging an upset loss against an opponent as the favorite. - App State is an unimpressive 3-3 ATS at home this year. The verdict: App State smashed UL Lafayette in the 2018 Sun Belt Championship game by 49 points. Look for the Cajuns to keep this one competitive until the very end; grab the points! |

12-05-19 | Cowboys v. Bears +3 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 60 h 59 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Chicago Bears. This line has fluctuated from 2.5 to 3 throughout the week. I have 2.5. I think the Bears will win this one outright, but I'm going to grab the points in what should be a competitive battle until the end. Dallas got throughouly beatdown by the Bills at home on Thanksgiving. The offense wasn't horrible, as Prescott had 355 passing yars, but I believe the pivot takes a step back on the short week and at chilly Soldier Field. Chicago on the other hand won 24-20 over Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, coming from behind to win. QB Mitchell Trubisky finally showed some signs of life and I don't think there's any reason he won't carry that momentum over here. Key Trends: - The Cowboys are just 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. the NFC North. - Dallas is only 3-4 ATS in its last seven after a loss by ten points or more. - Chicago is 6-1 ATS in its last seven as a home underdog. The verdict: The Bears HAVE to win this one to keep pace in their division, while Dallas enters with a one game lead in the NFC East. I like Trubisky to outplay Prescott, but that said, let's grab the points! |

12-02-19 | Vikings +3 v. Seahawks | Top | 30-37 | Loss | -108 | 38 h 8 m | Show |
My 10* BLOOD-BATH is on the Vikings. I think "revenge" works as an angle here as Minnesota has lost five straight in this series. The Vikes have had a week off to prepare for this one though. With the Lions, Chargers, Packers and Bears stil to go, this is clearly a game that the Vikes can't let slip away. Seattle allows 282 passing yards per game and Vikes' QB Kirk Cousins has been "lights out" this year, with 21 TD's and three INT's to go along with 2,756 passing yards. The Vikes allow 268 passing yards and only 94.2 rushing. I think Wilson is going to have a difficult time moving the ball effeciently today vs. this top ranked defensive unit. Key Trends: - The Vikes are 10-5 ATS in their last 15 after losing a contest ATS (including 3-1 ATS this year.) - The Hawks are only 5-10 ATS in their last 15 as a home favorite (including just 1-4 ATS this season.) The verdict: In a contest which I see coming "down to the wire," let's grab the points! |

12-01-19 | Patriots v. Texans +3.5 | 22-28 | Win | 100 | 32 h 11 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Houston Texans. The Patriots are 10-1, but they've faced some pathetic competition this year. Pats' QB Tom Brady is only averaging 5.6 YPA over his last four games. Houston comes in off a win over the Colts and is in dire need of another victory here to keep pace for the Wild Card. Also note that it's been reported that several NE defensive players have the flu this week. Key Trends: - Houston is 4-0 ATS in its last four off a no ATS cover where it happen to also win SU as the favorite. - NE is only 1-3 ATS in its last four off a home no cover where it won SU as the favorite. The verdict: I think Brady finally gets exposed here and while I wouldn't be shocked by the outright upset, in the end I'm grabbing the points. |

12-01-19 | 49ers v. Ravens -5.5 | 17-20 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 52 m | Show | |
My 8* play on the Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers have struggled this year vs. mobile QB's, including in the slim win over the Cardinals earlier in the year. The 49ers defense has been great, but note that San Fran has actually conceded at least 25 points in three of its past four games. Jimmy Garropolo has looked brilliant at times this year, but also very pedestrian in others. The Ravens' defense looked shaky to begin the season, but the unit has quietly been dominating over the last month, making DeShaun Watson, Tom Brady and Jared Goff all look very ordinary. And what more can be said about Ravens' QB Lamar Jackson which hasn't already been said by a million talking heads out there? Jackson continues to put up huge numbers and I think he'll continue that torrid pace in this important home game. Key Trends: - Ravens are 5-0 ATS in their last five following a SU win. - 49ers are interestingly just 1-4 ATS in their last five off a home blowout win by 21 points or more. The verdict: I think this West Coast team stumbles in this difficult East coast venue; lay the points! |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Titans v. Colts | 31-17 | Loss | -117 | 25 h 52 m | Show | |
My 8* play on the Indianapolis Colts. The Titans destroyed the hapless Jaguars 42-20 last week, but I think they'll take a step back here in this difficult road venue vs. a Colts team on the rebound after a 20-17 setback to the Texans last Thursday. With extra time off to prepare, I don't think that the home field advantage can be overlooked as a very real deciding factor today. Indianpolis won 19-17 in Tennessee earlier in the year and note that the Titans are just 1-10 in their last 11 in this building overall. Key Trends: - Tennessee is just 9-13 ATS In its last 22 on the road (including only 2-3 ATS this year.) - The Titans are a poor 3-5 ATS in their last eight after a victory by 14 points or more (including 0-2 ATS this season.) - Indianapolis is 6-0 ATS in its last six as a home favorite of three points or less (including 3-0 ATS this year.) The verdict: Look for the Colts' defense to step up here and take Titans' backup QB Ryan Tannehill down a notch after last week's big performance; lay the short points! |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Eagles v. Dolphins +11 | 31-37 | Win | 100 | 25 h 52 m | Show | |
My 8* play on the Miami Dolphins. The Eagles are on the ropes after their 19-7 loss to the Seahawks last weekend. With a chance to finish off their opponents playoff chances, I think the Dolphins use that as motivation today to keep this contest closer than what this spread would suggest. Eagles' QB Carson Wentz doesn't have a lot to work with this season, so his team's offense issues aren't entirely his fault. Miami QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has 1,901 passing yards with ten TD's and ten INT's and I think he'll be able to match Wentz's performance today no problem. If not surpass it. Key Trends: - The Eagles are a terrible 7-11 ATS in their last 18 as a favorite in the 3.5 to 9.5 points range (including just 1-2 ATS this season.) - The Dolphins are a perfect 2-0 ATS in their last two as a home dog in the 7.5 to 14 points range. The verdict: The Eagles have admittedly gotten more out of this line-up in the last two year's than I could have expected, but I think it finally completely unravels this weekend in Mimai (that said, grab the points!) |
|||||||
12-01-19 | Jets v. Bengals +3.5 | 6-22 | Win | 100 | 25 h 51 m | Show | |
My 10* play is on the Cincinnati Bengals. I said it before and I'll say it again, I don't think that the Bengals are going to go winless this year. 0-11 Cincinnati has a great opportunity to finally get off the schneid at home though vs. the inconsistent 4-7 Jets. New York comes in off a satisfying 34-3 win over the Raiders. The Bengals lost 16-10 to the Steelers last time out. Andy Dalton finally returns under center for the Bengals and I think he'll be the difference maker here. Key Trends: - The Jets are 2-5 ATS in their last seven as a favorite (including 0-2 ATS this year.) - New York is only 7-13 ATS in its last 20 on the road (including only 2-3 ATS this season.) - The Bengals are still 17-10 ATS in their last 27 as an underdog. The verdict: All good things must come to an end. And in this case, I believe the Bengals' horrible losing streak does in fact end today. That said though, let's grab the points! |

12-01-19 | Browns -1 v. Steelers | 13-20 | Loss | -119 | 25 h 51 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on the Cleveland Browns. It's a big game for these two division rivals, as the winner will continue its quest for a playoff wild card, while the other's season will essentially come to an end (barring a run of a lifetime, combined with many other external factors working in its favor). The Browns beat the Steelers at home two weeks ago and they won last week as well. With a victory today the Browns will have an identical record with Pittsburgh. The Browns' defensive play of late is the difference maker for me, as over the last three games they've allowed 15.7 PPG. And that's bad news for Steelers' rookie QB Devlin Hodges, who I think is being thrown to the wolves in this fierce rivarly. Key Trends: - Pittsburgh is interestingly just 8-11 ATS in its last 19 after playing a game on the road (including just 1-2 ATS this year.) - The Browns are 8-4 ATS in their last 12 vs. divisional opponents, including 2-0 ATS this season. The verdict: Cleveland is finally starting to play up to its potential and I look for it to hammer the Steelers here on their home turf; lay the short points! |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Colorado +29 v. Utah | 15-45 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 16 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on Colorado. Colorado has won two in a row, including a 20-14 win at home over Washington as a double-digit dog last weekend. At 5-6, the Buffs need just one more monumental upset to become eligible. Colorado' QB Steven Montez has 15 TD's and ten INT's, but he's been sharp over the last two games and I think he'll keep his team competitive here. Utah is head to the Pac 12 Championship game despite what happens here today. So am I calling for an outright upset? No I am not. Utes' QB Tyler Huntley and company will cruise to victory here, but I believe they'll have a fight on their hands until the final moments. Key Trends: - Colorado is 3-1 ATS in its last four after allowing 14 points or less in its previous game. - Utah is just 1-4 ATS in its last five off a double-digit road win. The verdict: I think the oddsmakers are slow in recognizing how well Montez is playing right now; grab the points! |

11-30-19 | UL-Monroe +20.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 78 h 16 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on Louisiana Monroe. The Warhawks have won two of three, including their last game vs. Coastal Carolina to improve to 5-6. The Warhawks will battle tooth and nail here to try and become eligible. Louisiana Lafayette is 9-2 and it comes in off a victory over Troy. The Warhawks play with revenge here though after losing this one at home 31-28 last season. Warhawks' QB Caleb Evans was particularly good in last week's win, finising with 346 yards, two TD's and an INT. After scoring 53 vs. Troy last weekend, I think that Levi Lewis and the Cajuns come in a bit complacent here. Key Trends: - Louisiana Monroe is interestingly 3-0 ATS in its last three off a close win by seven points or less over a conference rival. - Louisana Lafayette is 0-2 ATS in its last two as a home favorite in the 14.5 to 21 points range. The verdict: I'm not calling for an outright win, but everything points to a war until the end; grab the points! |

11-30-19 | North Carolina -8.5 v. NC State | Top | 41-10 | Win | 100 | 78 h 51 m | Show |
My 10* play is on UNC. NC State is going to try and play spoiler here to the 5-6 Tar Heels, but I think that UNC's depth on offense will prove to be too much for the now eliminated Wolfpack to handle down the stretch. The Tar Heels come in off a 56-7 win over Mercer last week. The Wolfpack have lost five straight and while the thought of playing "spoiler" is a nice one, I simply don't think it's going to matter in this particular instance. Outside of a two-point loss to GT last weekend, each of NC State's last four losses has come by at least two TD's. Key Trends: - UNC is 2-0 ATS in its last two as a road favorite in the 7.5 to 14 points range. - The Tar Heels are 2-0 ATS in their last two off a home victory by 17 points or more. - NC State is just 2-4 ATS in its last six off a road loss vs. a conference rival. The verdict: UNC QB Sam Howell has 32 TD passes this year. Expect Howell to destroy his over-matched competition today and lay the points with confidence! |
|||||||
11-30-19 | Georgia v. Georgia Tech +28 | 52-7 | Loss | -105 | 71 h 47 m | Show | |
My 8* play on Georgia Tech I'm going to grab the points in the "Clean Old Fashioned Hate." Tech has beaten two ACC teams in NC State and Miami. Georgia is obviously one of the best teams in the country with a 10-1 record. The Dawgs need to win this game and then they'll be invited to the four team College Playoff. However, after winning five in a row and a big victory over Auburn, I think the Bulldogs get caught looking past their lowly opponent today. Georgia Tech is a team in transition, as it switches from the Triple Option offense. The Yellow Jackets have had varying success under first year head coach Geoff Collins. Am I calling for an outright upset of epic proportions? Of course not, I simply feel that Georgia will take its foot off the gas in the second half. Key Trends: - Georgia is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven after allowing 17 points or less in three straight games, including just 2-3 ATS this season. - GT is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 after playing a home game. The verdict: Look for the home side to open up the playbook and play until the final whistle sounds; as such, grab the points! |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Missouri -11.5 v. Arkansas | 24-14 | Loss | -110 | 74 h 8 m | Show | |
My 8* play is on Missouri. Missouri enters off a tough 24-20 home loss to Tennessee. The Tigers are under a one game bowl suspension anyways, so this has become their "bowl" game this year, with Arkansas limping in with a 2-9 record. Missouri has to be liking its chances though, as it's won five of the last six in this series and gone 4-2 ATS in those contests. I think Tigers' QB Kelly Bryant is going to have a big day vs. this porous Arkansas secondary. Arkansas was destroyed 56-20 by LSU last weekend and uncertainty at the QB position has been the issue all year (eight different players have thrown a pass for the team this season.) Key Trends: - Missouri is interestingly 3-1 ATS in its last four after a loss by six points or less. - Arkansas is a terrible 0-2 ATS as a home dog this year. The verdict: Look for the angry Tigers to take out their frustrations on lowly Arkansas; lay the points! |
|||||||
11-29-19 | Iowa v. Nebraska +6 | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 74 h 8 m | Show |
My 10* play is on Nebraska. Iowa's 8-3 and it would love another win here to bolster its bowl bid. Nebraska though is completely desperate for one more victory, as it enters at 5-6. Iowa comes in off back-to-back victories over Minnesota and Illinois. The Cornhuskers have a balanced attack led by QB Nate Stanley. The Cornhuskers have lost four of their last five, but they kept their slim bowl chances alive with a victory over Maryland last weekend. Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez has had an up and down year, but he'll have his opportunities today vs. an Iowa defense which concedes 191 passing yards per contest. Key Trends: - Iowa is just 6-7 ATS in its last 13 on the road. - The Hawkeyes are only 3-4 ATS in their last seven after a two-game home stand. - Nebraska is a perfect 2-0 ATS in its last two after scoring 50 points or more in its last game. The verdict: In a contest which I see coming down to whichever of these teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm going to grab the points! |
