11-12-17 | Giants v. 49ers +3 | 21-31 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
                             GIANTS @ 49ERS NY is having a terrible year losing games and losing players to injury. They had their worst game last week when they lost to the Rams 51-17. It was the 7th game they were held below 24 points and the most points they allowed all year. They are ranked 29th in total offense and 28th in points scored with 16.1 a game. Their defense isn't much better being ranked 26th as they allow 391 yards a game while the 25.9 points they allow is the 4th worst in the league. Their run defense can't stop anyone as they are ranked 28th. SF might be the only team playing worse and they haven't won a game yet. They are last in the league at stopping the run and they allow 26.6 points a game. They do have a better offense but not by much, although they have been more competitive losing 6 games by 10 points or less with 5 of them by 3 points or less. If the Niners are going to win a game, then the Giants are someone they could probably beat. Regardless NY doesn't deserve to be a favorite. Take San Francisco |

11-12-17 | Saints -2.5 v. Bills | 47-10 | Win | 100 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
                            SAINTS @ BILLS New Orleans has won 6 straight games while their 12th ranked defense has allowed 17 points or less in 5 of the 6 wins. They are ranked 9th against the pass and in points allowed giving up 19.4 a game. QB Brees leads the offense with the 3rd best passing game as he has thrown for 270 yards a game and has 13 TD passes. Their running game is ranked 7th with over 122 yards a game and they score over 27 points a game which is 6th best. Buffalo has played well but has struggled offensively as they are ranked 27th averaging just over 300 total yards a game. They are 30th in the league passing with less than 190 yards a game and score just over 21 points on average. They have played well on defense and are ranked 6th allowing 18.6 yards a game but give up a lot of yards allowing almost 350 a game. They have been outgained in passing yards in 6 of their last 7 games and that could come back to haunt them against the Saints. In 2 of their last 3 games they gave up at least 27 points. Take New Orleans |

11-12-17 | Steelers -10 v. Colts | 20-17 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
                          STEELERS @ COLTS Pittsburgh has won 3 straight games and is rested after coming off a bye week. Big Ben leads the 9th best passing game in the league and last week threw for over 300 yards while throwing for almost 800 yards and 4 TD's during the streak. He could have a field day against Indy who has allowed a league worst 2517 passing yards and average more than 279 yards allowed thru the air. The Colts also are the worst in the league allowing 29 points a game while being ranked 25th in scoring with just 18 points a game. The Steeler defense is ranked 4th and are 2nd defending the pass and allow only 16.4 points a game also good for 2nd. The Colts have lost 3 of their last 4 games. Take Pittsburgh |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Packers +4.5 v. Bears | 23-16 | Win | 100 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
                            PACKERS @ BEARS Green Bay has struggled a lot since Rodgers was hurt as his replacement Hundley has just 1 TD and 4 picks but the defense has also let them down as they gave up over 900 yards in their last 2 games. They still allow a respectable 24 points a game but they need to produce on offense as they scored 17 points or less in 3 straight games. The Bears aren't knocking people out and QB Trubiskey has completed just 47.5% of his passes while averaging just 128 yards a game. The bears have been held to 17 points or less in 6 of their 8 games and are ranked 30th in total offense. Their defense is playing well and has kept them in games the offense hasn't shown up. This might be a good spot for Green Bay to take advantage of a struggling Bear team who they beat 35-14 in their 1st meeting. Take Green Bay |
|||||||
11-12-17 | Vikings v. Redskins +2.5 | 38-30 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
                          VIKINGS @ REDSKINS Minnesota has won 4 straight games but the offense has struggled as they have scored 24 points or less in 5 of their last 7 games. QB Keenum has averaged just 213 yards passing and has thrown just 4 TD's and 3 picks during the win streak. Washington has struggled because of injuries but broke a 2 game losing streak with a win at Seattle last week. QB Cousins leads the 11th ranked passing game with over 2100 yards and 13 TD's. He has thrown for over 300 yards in 2 of his last 4 games and hit over 66% of his passes in those 4 games. As inconsistent as they have been, 3 of their 4 losses were to the Cowboys and twice to the Eagles who are a combined 13-4. They have held their own on defense and have done well against the pass while allowing 24 points a game. This is a good spot for them at home against a shaky team. Take Washington |

11-11-17 | Notre Dame v. Miami-FL +3.5 | 8-41 | Win | 100 | 21 h 57 m | Show | |
                          NOTRE DAME @ MIAMI Notre Dame would be unbeaten except for a 1 point loss to Georgia while Miami is unbeaten. The Irish have won 7 straight since the loss and scored at least 33 points in all of the wins. Their opponents haven't been scoring either as nobody had scored more than 20 points until last week. They are ranked 15th in total offense as they average 495 yards a game but 325 of them are rushing and they are ranked 7th as they score 41 points a game. They are ranked 17th in total defense and allow just 18.4 points a game. They didn't have a great 2nd half last week as they were outscored by Wake Forest 27-17 but won the game. The 37 points allowed was the most all year by the Irish. Miami who is undefeated might be their toughest opponent since Georgia. They are 8-0 and held 6 opponents below 20 points scoring and are ranked 12th in total defense. They allow just 17.6 points a game which is 12th best in the country while the offense averages over 450 yards a game with a passing game ranked 23rd averaging 288.3 yards a game. They score over 31 points a game and 4 of their 5 home wins were by at least 8 points. This is the toughest road team they have faced all year and Miami has lost just 3 games at home since 2015. Take Miami |

11-11-17 | Georgia -2.5 v. Auburn | 17-40 | Loss | -115 | 102 h 52 m | Show | |
                        GEORGIA @ AUBURN Georgia is on top in the playoff rankings and has clinched a berth in the SEC title game after their 24-10 win over the Gamecocks last week. The Bulldogs have a very strong team on both sides of the ball. Offensively they are led by QB Fromm with over 1400 yards passing and 15 TD's but it's their 8th ranked running game that averages over 279 yards a game that drives the offense. They also score over 36 points a game while defensively they are ranked 2nd in points allowed giving up 11.7 a game. They are ranked 3rd allowing just 254 total yards a game and rank 5th allowing just 89 yards a game rushing. They will be tested by Auburn who average over 200 yards passing and running a game. Their defense is very good as they allow 307 yards total a game and just 16.9 points a game. Georgia is undefeated while the Tigers have lost 2 games and they have had their offense shut down by Clemson and LSU who both have great defenses. Auburn has the advantage playing at home but Georgia might just be too strong with such a small spread. Take Georgia |

11-11-17 | Iowa +12.5 v. Wisconsin | 14-38 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 24 m | Show | |
                              IOWA @ WISCONSIN Iowa has won 3 of their last 4 games but last week was amazing as they destroyed Ohio St 55-24 as 20 point underdogs. they are led by QB Stanley who has passed for over 1900 yards and thrown 22 TD's which ranks him 11th in TD passes. They average less than 400 yards a game but manage to score over 28 points a game. But it's their defense that people talk about. They have held 6 teams to 21 points scoring or less and that includes Penn St and Michigan St. They have 3 losses this season all by 16 points total. They allow 18.1 points a game which is 16th best in the country and are tied for 10th with 13 interceptions. Wisconsin is the only undefeated team in the Big 10 led by QB Hornbrook who has passed for over 1700 yards and thrown 15 TD's. They have a well balanced offense that averages over 400 yards a game but rely on their ground game more. They have played a pretty easy schedule so far as their last 4 wins were against Big 10 teams with a combined 4-20 conference record and overall faced only 2 opponents with better than .500 records all year. They are ranked 4th in the country in points allowed and 4th stopping the run. They have failed to cover the spread 3 of the last 4 games they were a double digit favorite at home. Take Iowa |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Wake Forest v. Syracuse | 64-43 | Loss | -110 | 101 h 49 m | Show | |
                           WAKE FOREST @ SYRACUSE Wake has lost 4 of their last 5 games after jumping out to a 4-0 start and 3 of those losses were in their last 3 road games. Their defense has allowed at least 26 points in their last 5 games after allowing 19 or less in their first 4. Their defense is ranked 81st in the country as they allow over 400 yards a game and they do it with over 200 yards allowed rushing and passing. Syracuse has had a very tough schedule and have lost 4 games of their last 6 to some excellent teams but all 4 losses were on the road. They are 4-1 at home including a big win over Clemson. They allowed 24 points or less in their 4 home wins and allow an average of 365 yards a game from their 43rd ranked defense. Their offense is led by QB Dungey who has passed for over 275 yards in 6 games and leads a passing game that ranks 18th in the country averaging 297 yards a game while scoring over 29 points on average. Their last 2 losses were on the road against Miami and Florida St by 11 points total while they are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Syracuse has a big advantage in this game as they are home and Wake has lost 3 straight road games. Take Syracuse |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Virginia Tech v. Georgia Tech +3 | 22-28 | Win | 100 | 99 h 59 m | Show | |
                           VIRGINIA TECH @ GEORGIA TECH The Hokies played in my opinion just 2 high quality opponents this season and lost both games. Those were against Clemson and Miami. Prior they had 5 wins against teams either ranked low or FCS teams. Now after being spanked by Miami 28-10 on the road last week they go into Georgia Tech another tough team. Miami got over 400 yards last week and 200 yards were rushing. Now they face the 3rd ranked rushing team in the nation who average over 330 yards a game. They also average 32 points a game good for a spot in the top 50. Georgia Tech's defense is very good and is ranked 9th in total defense and allow just 334 yards a game and 23 points. Virginia Tech has a good defense as well but Georgia has played a much tougher schedule as 2 of their last 3 losses was a 1 point loss to Miami and a 14 point loss to Clemson as they held the Tigers to 24 points. I'll take points with Yellow Jackets at home. Take Georgia Tech |
|||||||
11-11-17 | Michigan State +16.5 v. Ohio State | 3-48 | Loss | -110 | 52 h 50 m | Show | |
                             MICHIGAN ST @ OHIO ST Michigan is now a co-leader with the Buckeyes in the Big 10 East after they beat Penn St last week and Ohio St was crushed by Iowa. The Spartans usually rely on a strong running game and a smothering defense to win games but in the last 2 weeks QB Lewerke has thrown for at least 400 yards in each game as well as 6 TD's. Their defense is ranked 11th in the country in total yards allowed and 27th in points allowed (20.1 a game). Their 3rd ranked rushing defense allows just 87 yards a game and that could be a problem for the Buckeyes' 20th ranked running game who average 235 yards a game. Ohio St averages 43.8 yards a game but the Spartans have held Ohio St to 17 points or less in 4 of their last 6 meetings. Ohio St has allowed 93 points in their last 2 games and have played 5 opponents with sub .500 records. These 2 teams have a history of playing close games as 6 of the last 8 meetings were decided by 10 points or less and 4 were by 3 points or less. I don't understand the huge line in this game and am happy to have the dog. Take Michigan State |

11-11-17 | Oklahoma State v. Iowa State +7 | 49-42 | Push | 0 | 99 h 43 m | Show | |
                          OKLAHOMA ST @ IOWA ST The Cowboys lost a shootout last week with the Sooners 62-52. It was the 4th game of their last 6 they allowed 34 points or more. Their 76th ranked defense allows over 400 yards a game and over 28 points. They have an incredible offense ranked 2nd in the country that averages 579 yards and over 45 points to offset their defense. They lost to TCU and were held to 13 points by Texas who are both good defensive teams. Now they are on the road playing Iowa St who are very good defensively as they are ranked 20th giving up 18.9 points a game. Iowa St is also in the top 40 in run defense and average yards allowed. They are coming into this game off a tough 20-16 road loss but it was the 6th time in the last 7 games they held an opponent to 20 points or less. They can also score and have put up over 30 points in 4 of their last 5 wins and they average over 30 points a game. With wins against TCU and Oklahoma I'm at a loss as to why they are a dog at home. Take Iowa State |

11-10-17 | Temple -2.5 v. Cincinnati | 35-24 | Win | 100 | 44 h 16 m | Show | |
                              TEMPLE @ CINCINNATI Temple had a huge win last week when they beat the high powered Navy 34-26. Backup QB Nutile threw 4 TD's and passed for 289 yards in the game as the Owls average 260 passing yards a game. He has also completed at least 72% of his passes in his last 3 games. After scoring more than 20 points just once in their first 5 games, they have scored at least 24 points in their last 4 games and over 30 points in their last 2 wins. They have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games and they beat Cincinnati in their last 2 meetings including 34-13 last year. Cincinnati broke a 5 game losing streak when they just got by Tulane 17-16 last week. They are ranked 119th in scoring as they average just under 19 points a game while defensively are ranked 95th in points allowed as they give up 31 points a game. They were beaten by double digits in 5 of their 6 losses and are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 home games. Take Temple |

11-10-17 | Fairleigh Dickinson v. Seton Hall -23 | 68-90 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 56 m | Show | |
                     FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON @ SETON HALL Fairleigh Dickinson open their season just like last year when they visit Seton Hall. That was a 21 point loss and they went on to lose 8 of their next 10 games as well. They will have to face the Pirates who return 4 of their 5 starters in that game and 6 of their top 7 scorers from last season. The Knights will have 3 of their starters in that game but only 4 of their top 7 scorers as their 2nd and 3rd leading scorers from last season are gone. The Pirates had the nation's leading rebounder and they won 12 of their first 15 games while holding 9 of the 12 opponents they beat to 70 points or less. They had a 12-2 home record with wins over Creighton, Butler and So. Carolina who were all ranked 16th or better. The Knights didn't play well on the road as they were 3-14 and finished out the season losing 9 of their last 10 games. They will have trouble matching up with Seton Hall's inside game and if they start fouling, the game could be over early. Take Seton Hall |

11-09-17 | Cavs v. Rockets -5 | 113-117 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
                               CAVS @ ROCKETS Cleveland has lost 5 of their last 7 games while allowing at least 112 points in 8 straight games. They were beaten by the lowly Atlanta team 117-115 and have been outrebounded in 4 of their last 6 games. They are ranked 28th as they allow 114 points a game and sit near the bottom of the conference with a -4 point differential. Houston is rolling along as they won their 3rd straight game with a season high 137 points with Harden leading the way with 56. They won each of their 3 straight wins by at least 15 points and have beaten Cleveland in 8 of their last 10 meetings. They have outrebounded 5 of their last 6 opponents and have a +6.6 scoring differential which is 3rd best in the NBA, Take Houston |

11-09-17 | North Carolina v. Pittsburgh -9 | 34-31 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 52 m | Show | |
                           NORTH CAROLINA @ PITTSBURGH The Tarheels are having a terrible season and are 1-8 after dropping their 6th straight game. Their offense has been held below 20 points in all 6 losses while the defense has allowed at least 27 points in 5 of them. They are ranked 114th in points allowed as they give up over 33 a game while being ranked 109th in total offense. They score 21 points a game and average less than 350 total yards a game. They aren't very good defensively either as they are ranked 106th in total defense and allow 447 yards a game. Pittsburgh has played a very tough schedule with losses to Penn St, Oklahoma St and NC St but they have won their last 2 very impressively with last week's 31-14 win over Virginia maybe their best. They have a balanced offense that passes for over 200 yards a game while they rush for almost 150 yards a game. They scored at least 31 points in their last 2 home wins and are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games after a bye week. Take Pittsburgh |

11-09-17 | Lakers +10.5 v. Wizards | 95-111 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 7 m | Show | |
                         LAKERS @ WIZARDS LA has won 2 of their last 3 games and scored at least 110 points in 4 of their last 5 games. They average over 46 boards a game which ranks them 7th in the league and that allows them more 2nd shots. They have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games while they have been outrebounded in just 2 of their last 8 games. They won their 1st meeting with the Wizards and have scored over 100 points in 7 of their last 10 games. Washington is slumping having lost 5 of their last 7 games and allowed at least 113 points in 4 of the losses. Both of the wins have been on the road while they have lost 3 straight games at home. They have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and are a double digit favorite in this game against LA which is a lot considering how they have played recently. Take Los Angeles |

11-08-17 | Eastern Michigan -2 v. Central Michigan | 30-42 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
                          EAST MICHIGAN @ CENT. MICHIGAN The hard luck Eagles broke a 6 game losing streak with a 56-14 win their last game. during that streak, they lost 5 of the games by 5 points or less and 2 of the last 3 were in OT. They have a very good defense that allows 353 yards a game and is ranked 29th allowing 20.3 points a game. They have held 6 opponents to 24 points or less while the offense is led by QB Roback who has thrown for over 2300 yards and leads the 31st best passing attack in the country with 277 yards a game. Cent Michigan had to score 21 points in the 4th quarter in their last win over Western Michigan. They had a run of losing 4 of 5 games where they allowed at least 28 points while their last 4 wins have all been on the road. Their defense allows almost 400 yards a game and over 27 points a game. They had better not make mistakes against this Toledo team as they won't have an easy time catching up if they fall behind. Take Eastern Michigan |

11-08-17 | Toledo -3.5 v. Ohio | 10-38 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
                             TOLEDO @ OHIO Toledo has been the class of the MAC for years and they get a chance to seal the deal again. They are the only undefeated team in the conference at 5-0 with a very balanced offense that averages over 500 yards of offense a game. They are led by QB Woodside who has thrown for over 2600 yards and 19 TD's while averaging almost 300 passing yards a game good for 18th in the country. They also have a powerful running game that averages over 220 yards a game and have scored 21 TD's and average over 5 yards a carry. Put that all together and they rank 13th in the country with 38.8 points scored a game. they have a very capable defense that allows 370 yards a game and 24.4 points a game. Ohio is having a fine season with a 4-1 conference record which has them on top in the MAC East. Thy scored over 40 points a game in their current 3 game win streak but 2 of the wins were against the bottom of their division with a combined 4-15 record. They average over 400 yards a game and have a good rushing game ranked 22nd with 233 yards a game but will have their hands full with Toledo's run defense. They will need just about a perfect game on both sides of the ball to beat a Toledo team that has won 5 straight. Take Toledo |

11-07-17 | Akron +7 v. Miami-OH | 14-24 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
                        AKRON @ MIAMI OHIO Akron has won 4 of their last 5 games and are 5-4 with 2 losses against powerhouses Iowa St and Penn St. Their offense is led by QB Woodson who has thrown for over 1700 yards along with 14 TD passes. In his last 5 games he has 10 TD passes while in his last game he threw 3 TD's and passed for a season high 286 yards in a win. Their running game has 1000 yards and scored 10 rushing TD's. Defensively they have held 3 of their last 4 opponents to 20 points or less while winning 2 road games. They are tied for the MAC East lead with a 4-1 conference record. Miami has lost 4 of their last 5 games while allowing at least 37 points in 3 of the losses and 3 of the 4 losses were conference games. They are led by QB Ragland who has thrown for 1398 yards and 12 TD's but he is injured and doubtful for the game. His backup Bahl has thrown 5 TD's and 4 picks in the 3 games he started but had 1 game without a TD pass. Neither QB is completing more than 54% of their passes but their running game gets 144 yards a game and they will have to probably rely on their ground game for offense. Akron has won the last 4 meetings with Miami. Take Akron |

11-06-17 | Lions v. Packers +3 | 30-17 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
                             LIONS @ PACKERS Detroit isn't playing good football and aren't living up to expectations for this season. Besides losing 4 of their last 5 games and their last 3 in a row, it's how they are doing it. In last week's loss they were 0-5 in the red zone and are now ranked 28th in the league in that category. They are ranked 29th in total offense and their running game averages just 82 yards a game which is just 28th in the league while QB Stafford has thrown only 6 TD passes in the last 5 games while not throwing any in 2 of those. They haven't played all that bad defensively but allow over 24 points a game which is 23rd in the league. Green Bay has been having their own problems since losing their star QB Rodgers. His replacement Hundley has just 1 TD pass but 4 picks and in their only home loss of the year last week he passed for only 87 yards with 0 TD's and 1 pick. The good news is the Packers had a bye week and had more time to prepare and work with Rodgers on his problems. The Packers have been tough in defensive situations and they are 15th at stopping the pass and allow 23 points a game. With the Lions playing poorly and the Pack having nowhere to go but up and the fact that Green Bay has won 4 of their last 5 meetings including the last 3 in a row, I can't see Detroit being a favorite in Green Bay. Take Green Bay |

11-05-17 | Redskins v. Seahawks -7 | 17-14 | Loss | -110 | 54 h 57 m | Show | |
                           REDSKINS @ SEAHAWKS Washington's offense has been hobbled with injuries especially on their front line. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games with the 1 win a 2 point squeaker against lowly SF. Their defense has allowed at least 29 points in all 3 losses and they are ranked 28th allowing 26 points a game. Their last 3 losses have been by at least 9 points and QB Cousins who they rely on heavily has been sacked 4 times in each of their last 2 losses as well as passing for less than 250 yards in both. Seattle won their 4th straight game as QB Wilson had his best game when he passed for over 450 yards and 4 TD's. Their offense has scored over 40 points in 2 of the games during the streak and they are ranked 7th with over 370 yards a game on offense and are 3rd in the league in passing yards a game. Defensively they are ranked 7th allowing less than 19 points a game and are very effective against the pass allowing 216 yards a game. They are 6th in the league with a +6 take away ratio. Other than a big let down Seattle should take control on defense and their offense should be able to keep Washington struggling on defense. Take Seattle |

11-05-17 | Cardinals v. 49ers +2.5 | 20-10 | Loss | -104 | 25 h 18 m | Show | |
                            CARDS @ 49ERS Arizona lost 2 of their last 3 games and scored a total of just 7 points in both losses. To make thins worse they lost starting QB Palmer for the year and are on the road again where they have 3 of their 4 losses. Even with Palmer they were ranked 24th in total offense and 27th in points scored with just 17 a game nit to mention a league worst 63 rushing yards a game. Their defense wasn't much help as they are ranked 30th allowing 27 points a game. They face the Niners on the road a team they barely beat at home 18-15 in their 1st meeting. SF got beat up in their last 2 games as 2 of the league's best offenses (Dallas and Philly) outscored them 73-20. but their previous 4 losses were by 3 points or less each time a total of 10 points in 4 losses. SF is winless and they just traded for QB Garoppalo from the Pats. This is a bad spot for a bad Card team without Palmer and a good spot for the Niners to pick up their 1st win. I can't see why Arizona is a favorite. Take San Francisco |

11-05-17 | Bucs v. Saints -6.5 | 10-30 | Win | 100 | 22 h 22 m | Show | |
                            BUCS @ SAINTS Tampa Bay has lost 4 straight games including last week's loss at home 17-3 which was their lowest point output of the year. QB Winston who is dealing with shoulder problems hasn't thrown a TD pass in 2 of his last 3 games and hasn't completed at least 60% of his passes in 4 of his last 5 games. Their running game averages just 81 yards a game ranking 29th in the league while Winston is still battling injury. Their defense allows over 386 yards a game which ranks them 29th and they are 30th against the pass allowing 275 yards a game which could be a disaster against QB Brees who is ranked 9th in the league with over 1950 yards and 11 TD's. he has led New Orleans to 5 straight wins and for the 1st time in years the Saints defense has actually played great. They have allowed 17 points or less in 4 of their 5 game streak and allow 224 yards passing and less than 21 points a game. The Bucs who led the league in passing have dropped to 9th since Winston's injury and with a defense that gives up as much yardage as they do it could be a long afternoon for Tampa Bay. Take New Orleans |

11-04-17 | Virginia Tech v. Miami-FL +1 | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 28 h 38 m | Show | |
                             VIRGINIA TECH @ MIAMI Virginia Tech brings their 10th ranked defense to Miami looking for their 4th straight win. They are 7-1 but have had the good fortune of playing 5 of those games at home. Their only loss was against Clemson and their great defense has held their opponents to 10 points or less in their last 3 wins. Other than their opening win against West Va,they really haven't played very good teams. As of today besides Clemson who they lost to, their best opponent was on the road at Boston College and they eked out a 23-10 win. Their last 2 wins were against Duke and North Carolina who are at the bottom of the ACC Coastal division and have a combined 1-11 record in conference. They have 3 other wins against non Power 5 schools, 2 of which have a combined 4-12 record and the 3rd is Delaware an FCS school. Miami is undefeated and have wins against Syracuse, Fl. St and Ga,Tech. They also have an excellent defense ranked 25th that allows just 18.7 points a game and very tough against the pass. The knock against them is that they struggled to win some of their games including last week against a very bad NC team. They are at home where they have lost only 3 games since 2015. This will be a tough place against a tough team to win. Take Miami |

11-04-17 | Oklahoma +3 v. Oklahoma State | 62-52 | Win | 100 | 102 h 10 m | Show | |
                          OKLAHOMA @ OKLAHOMA ST In perhaps 1 of the most exciting matchups every year the Sooners visit the Cowboys in a game known as Bedlam. Oklahoma's only loss was a 7 point defeat to Iowa St and they have won 14 straight road games. It all starts with Heisman candidate QB Mayfield who leads the 2nd ranked offense in the country with over 2600 yards passing and 23 TD's as well as having 4 rushing TD's. He also leads the country with an average of 11.51 yards per pass play and are ranked 6th averaging 42.9 points a game as well as 586 total yards a game. The Cowboys have a Heisman candidate of their own in QB Rudolph who is is ranked 2nd in the country with over 2800 yards passing and 22 TD's while also rushing for 7 TD's. Their offensive numbers are almost identical with the Sooners as they average 44.5 points and 569 yards a game while both teams allow about 25 points a game. Again defensively they are just about even with the Cowboys holding a slight advantage. The Sooners have beaten Ohio St for their biggest win while the Cowboys have a win against W, Va, Oklahoma has won 8 of the last 10 meetings while the visiting team has won 3 of the last 4. Mayfield is probably the better QB and the Sooners have played better teams this year. Take Oklahoma |

11-04-17 | Ohio State v. Iowa +18 | 24-55 | Win | 100 | 74 h 21 m | Show | |
                              OHIO ST @ IOWA Ohio St is rolling along with 6 straight wins after losing their only game to Oklahoma. Their offense seems unstoppable as they haven't scored below 38 points during the win streak and in 3 games scored over 50. They came from behind in their last game to beat Penn St 39-38 but their other 5 wins were not against quality teams. They are a big favorite as they visit Iowa maybe 1 of the toughest places in college football for any team to win. The Hawkeyes have 3 losses and all were by 7 points or less while in their only home loss they played a very good Penn St team almost evenly until finally losing 19-17. As a matter of fact they haven't lost at home by double digits since the 2013 season. Their bend but don't break defense is the heart of this team and they are ranked 11th in points allowed giving up 17.4 a game. Their very capable offense is lead by QB Stanley who has passed for over 1700 yards and thrown 17 TD's and only 4 picks.. The Buckeyes are a very good team but this is a possible let down spot against a good team that plays its best football at home. Considering the size of the spread it will be a monumental task to cover. Take Iowa |

11-04-17 | Florida v. Missouri -3 | 16-45 | Win | 100 | 48 h 4 m | Show | |
                           FLORIDA @ MISSOURI Florida comes in with a mile long list of injuries starting with RB Malik Davis who leads the team in rushing. They have LB's and DL people all banged up and their coach isn't sure who will start at QB after the 42-7 beating they took at Georgia as Franks was replaced in the 4th quarter. It was their 3rd straight loss and they were held to 17 points or less in all 3 losses. Their offense is ranked 124th in the country and since they have been relying on their running game for most of their offensive yards it hurts to have their leading rusher out. They can't rely on their passing game ranked 110th in the country so what they have left is their banged up defense. That defense will try and stop Missouri who racked up 120 points in their last 2 games and is the 18th ranked offense in the country. They average 35.5 points a game which ranks them 28th and they pass for over 325 yards a game which is 12th in the country. I don't see the urgency in Florida's game considering everything going bad for the Gators while Missouri can hope for some revenge against a banged up Florida team that has won the last 2 meetings. Take Missouri |

11-04-17 | UMass v. Mississippi State -28 | 23-34 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 48 m | Show | |
                           UMASS @ MISS ST U Mass travels to face Miss St on the road and it is likely their starting QB Ford won't be playing because of injury. After losing their first 6 games they won 2 straight and their last win was against a good Appalachian St team in OT. Their 38th ranked offense will surely suffer without Ford under center. He was responsible for a very good passing game that averaged 296 yards a game good for 20th in the country. They lost all 3 road games they played and were held to 2 of their 3 lowest point totals of the year on the road. Their defense allows almost 200 yards a game running and passing while giving up over 30 points a game. They will have their hands full with Miss St who is ranked 13th in the country as they run for 260 yards a game while averaging 34 points scoring good for 34th. They can also play defense as in their current 3 game winning streak they held their opponents to 14 points or less. They are ranked 12th in total defense and are very good against the pass as they are ranked 4th. They allow just 17.4 points a game. They are 6th in the country allowing just 282 total yards a game. Their 2 losses this year were on the road against Georgia and Auburn while all 6 wins were by at least 25 points a game. Take Mississippi State |

11-04-17 | Kansas State v. Texas Tech -3 | 42-35 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 20 m | Show | |
                          KANSAS ST @ TEXAS TECH Kansas St got by rival Kansas 30-20 last week to win for just the 2nd time in 6 games. As a 24 point favorite they were outgained 482 to 340 total yards and allowed Kansas to throw for 418 yards. In the last 3 weeks they have allowed 3 opponents to gain over 1400 yards. They are ranked 72nd in total defense as they allow over 400 yards a game with 282 of those yards passing which is 123rd in the country. They are just 103rd in total offense in the country but they do average over 31 points a game but have been held below that 2 of the last 3 games. Texas Tech is a powerhouse on offense as they are ranked 6th in the nation and average over 500 yards a game. Almost 350 of those are passing yards as they are ranked 6th. They had a very tough month as they lost 4 games to teams ranked in the top 15 in the country but their offense scored at least 27 points in 3 of those games. They have scored at least 34 points in 5 of their games and over 50 in 3 of those. It could be a long day for the Wildcats. Take Texas Tech |

                           BUCKS @ PISTONS Milwaukee has lost 3 of their last 4 games and gave up at least 100 points in 5 of their 8 games including all 3 of their road games. They have lost 2 straight and give up over 107 points a game. The Pistons are back home after winning 2 of 3 on the road including a win at Golden State and have won 4 of their last 6 games. They are ranked 9th allowing 102 points a game while scoring over 104 and they are ranked 2nd in the league in fewest TO's. They won 3 of their last 4 meetings with the Bucks in Detroit. Take Detroit |

11-02-17 | Bills v. Jets +3.5 | 21-34 | Win | 100 | 57 h 2 m | Show | |
                               BILLS @ JETS Buffalo has won 2 straight and are 1/2 game behind the Pats for the division lead. They are 5-2 with both losses on the road and 4 of their 5 wins at home. Their defense has played well and are ranked 3rd in points allowed with 16.4 a game while on offense most of their scoring was at home as in their last 2 wins where they scored at least 30 points a game. They haven't scored more than 23 points on the road and they have actually been outgained in yards in their last 6 games but they own the league's best TO ratio with a plus 14. New York once again lost a game where they were leading in the 4th quarter. Against Miami a late pick hurt them and last week against Atlanta a muffed punt return set up Atlanta's late score. QB McCown has played much better and has thrown 9 TD's in his last 4 games as opposed to 3 in his first 4 and owns the 2nd best completion % in the league. The Jets have lost 3 straight by 15 points total. This is a tough spot for the Bills in another away game in a big rivalry setting. Take New York |

11-02-17 | Navy -8 v. Temple | 26-34 | Loss | -110 | 57 h 53 m | Show | |
                              NAVY @ TEMPLE Navy gets their QB back and after losing 2 straight to both leaders of the American Conference division after a 5-0 start. They have the #1 rushing offense in the country averaging over 376 yards a game led by returning QB Abey with over 1100 rushing yards with 13 TD's as well as 5 passing TD's.The team averages 5.9 yards per rush and in their 2 straight losses committed 8 TO's a recipe for disaster. They also average over 33 points a game while defensively held 3 opponents to 21 points or less but give up 28 points a game on average. Temple has lost 4 of their last 5 games and allowed at least 28 points in 3 of the losses. They are ranked 78th in total defense and allow 398 yards a game. They were held to 13 points or less in 2 of their most recent losses and their 3 wins were against Villanova, Massachusetts and E. Carolina who are not exactly powerhouses. They will be without their starting QB Marchi who has thrown for over 1600 yards and 9 TD's. They are ranked 94th in total offense while averaging less than 21 points a game. Take Navy |

11-01-17 | Astros v. Dodgers -1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
                           ASTROS @ DODGERS McCullers will pitch for Houston in game 7 after his last start against LA where he struggled allowing 3 runs and 4 hits with 4 walks in 5.1 innings. since coming off the DL in the beginning of September he hasn't pitched all that well. After a July where he had a 9.64 ERA he came back in September and in a total of 31.1 innings which includes the postseason he allowed 16 runs and 24 hits while pitching a full 6 innings just once. His ERA for that time is 4.60 while he walked 13 batters. he started 5 games where the Astros were 2-3 and his only win since June was in his last game against LA in this series. LA is batting .455 against him as a team. Darvish takes the mound for LA after being lit up in his last game when Houston banged out 4 runs and 6 hits in just 1.2 innings. Prior to that start he allowed 1 run or less in 5 straight starts pitching into the 7th inning in 3 of the starts. He has faced the Astros before starting 7 games since 2014 and they have a combined .190 batting average against him while he was 1-1 against them this season. The Dodgers find themselves playing at home where they had the best home record in baseball and they have won 10 of 14 postseason games and all 10 were by at least 2 runs. Take Los Angeles -1.5 runs |

11-01-17 | Wolves v. Pelicans -1.5 | 104-98 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
                            WOLVES @ PELICANS Minnesota will try to win their 3rd straight game after beating a depleted Miami team by 3 points in OT. Their big man Towns must have a big game as it seems he controls the destiny of the team although Wiggins and Teague came up big in their last win. New Orleans has the league's 2nd leading scorer in Cousins who averages over 29 points a game but do have problems on defense. They average over 108 points a game and over 46 boards which is good for 10th best in the league but have given up over 100 points in all of their games. If they can play some defense they should have another win after tonight's game as they have won 8 of their last 10 meetings with Minnesota while the offense has scored over 100 points in all of their wins. This is a tough spot for the Wolves right after an OT game on the road. Take New Orleans |

11-01-17 | Central Michigan +7 v. Western Michigan | 35-28 | Win | 100 | 35 h 33 m | Show | |
                     CENTRAL MICHIGAN @ WESTERN MICHIGAN Central Michigan had a huge 56-9 win in their last game and that was 10 days ago. Their offense is very well balanced as they average 255 yards in the air and 137 yards a game on the ground, Their last 2 losses were against 2 very tough opponents, They were beaten by 7-1 Toledo in a rainstorm as QB Morris who has over 1900 yards passing and 16 TD's threw 2 picks and had just 182 yards which was his 2nd lowest total of the year. Their 2nd of their last 2 losses was at Boston College where their defense played a very good game and held the Eagles to 303 total yards but again he threw 3 picks. Those 2 losses accounted for 5 of his 11 picks for the year but he rebounded with 4 TD's last week without a pick. They also have a loss against Syracuse and a win against Kansas. Both teams are very closely ranked on defense as they are 2 yards apart on yards per game But the Broncos starting QB is out with a broken collar bone and his replacements have thrown a combined 6 passes this year. The Broncos played 3 of the bottom feeders in their conference in their last 4 games and struggled against Buffalo with a 71-68 win and against E. Michigan with a 20-17 OT win. Without their starting QB this is a tough spot for the Broncos to win. Take Central Michigan |

10-31-17 | Astros v. Dodgers -112 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show | |
                              ASTROS @ DODGERS Verlander pitches for Houston and he has been on fire. He had his worst start in the playoffs in his last game when he allowed 3 runs and 2 hits in 6 innings but those 2 hits were HR's. Both teams have been hitting some good pitchers and here in LA the Dodgers had the best home record in baseball. Hill takes the mound for LA and he has also been lights out as he allowed 2 runs or less in his last 8 starts. He owned Houston for the 4 innings he faced them in his last start when he allowed just 1 run and 3 hits while striking out 7 batters. With LA at home and Houston hitting 35 points less against lefties for the year, LA looks good at this small price. The home team has won 8 of their last 10 meetings. Take Los Angeles |

10-31-17 | Bowling Green -2.5 v. Kent State | 44-16 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
                             BOWLING GREEN @ KENT ST Bowling Green is 1-7 but their offense has shown signs of life by scoring at least 30 points in 2 of their last 3 games with 1 game being their only win. They average over 20 points a game and their running and passing game are balanced. The play Kent St who is ranked 129th out of 130 teams on offense. They average 10 points a game and just 250 yards of total offense a game. They have been held to 3 points or less in 5 games this season and I see no reason why the Falcons shouldn't be able to cover the small spread. Take Bowling Green |

                            SPURS @ CELTICS San Antonio has lost their last 2 games since opening the season with 4 straight wins. They haven't scored more than 94 points in the last 2 games which they lost. their defense has been playing well as they allow 97.3 points a game and they are good on the glass as they outrebound opponents by more than 8 boards a game good for 4th in the league. Boston s 11th on the boards and average just over 1 rebound a game more than their opponents. The Spurs are also 3rd in the league allowing opponents just 40.8 rebounds a game while they get 49 a game. They have beaten Boston has lost 6 of their last 7 meetings with the Spurs and though they have won 4 straight 3 of those games were against teams in the bottom 5 of their division. They had previously lost 4 straight before their current winning streak. Take San Antonio |

                         TIMBERWOLVES @ HEAT Minnesota center Towns had his best game when he scored 33 points and grabbed 19 boards in their most recent win over the Thunder. It also broke a 2 game losing streak while they are ranked 9th scoring 107 points a game. The Heat are looking to break their 2 gam losing streak and might not have an answer for Towns since Whiteside is out with a bad knee. They scored a season low 90 points in their last game and are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 home games. Take Minnesota |

10-29-17 | Steelers v. Lions +3 | 20-15 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 58 m | Show | |
                           STEELERS @ LIONS Pittsburgh is playing good football and are 5-2. Their offense hasn't had the success like their defense has so far as Big Ben has thrown 8 TD's but has 8 picks. They had good defensive games holding opponents to 14 points or less in their last 3 wins. The offense has picked up steam and the 29 points scored last week was a season high. They are ranked 6th in total offense but average just 21 points a game. Their defense is strong allowing less than 17 points a game. Detroit had high hopes for the season but have a 3-3 record after losing 2 straight and allowing a season high 52 points in their last loss to the Saints. They have struggled offensively and are ranked 30th in total offense. QB Stafford has struggled and has just 1 game he threw for 300 yards and his 12 TD's and 4 picks are not indicative of what he is capable of and their running game is not helping matters averaging 84 yards a game. They have just 2 rushing TD's and that is the key. Once they figure out the run it will open things up for Stafford. Note that 2 of their losses were by 7 points total. Detroit has always been good at home and should be a live dog here. Take Detroit |

10-29-17 | Dodgers -140 v. Astros | 12-13 | Loss | -140 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
                           DODGERS @ ASTROS Kershaw pitches for LA and he has started 4 games in the post season so far and the Dodgers have won all of them. He allowed 4 runs and 10 hits over the last 3 starts covering 18 innings for a 2.00 ERA. He beat the Astros in LA as he allowed just 1 run and 3 hits while striking out 11 batters. He was 9-2 on the road with a 2.03 ERA. Keuchel takes the mound for Houston and he also started 4 games but he and Houston are both 2-2 and in his last 2 games allowed 7 runs and 13 hits in 11.1 innings In his last game allowed 2 HR's in LA as Houston lost 3-1. The Dodgers got the momentum back as they won the last game with a 5 run 9th inning and with a win today behind 1 of the best and most consistent pitchers in baseball, they can go back to LA in control of the series with a 3-2 lead. Kersaw at this price is impossible not to have. Including the postseason LA has won 19 of his last 21 starts. Take Los Angeles |

10-29-17 | Cowboys -1.5 v. Redskins | 33-19 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
                          COWBOYS @ REDSKINS It seems that the Dallas offense has turned the on switch to full power. They broke a 2 game losing streak with a 40 point 500 yard game last week in SF. It is the 3rd straight game they scored at least 30 points and they actually played defense. They are ranked 6th in the league offensively and their running game is back on track ranked 2nd in the league. QB Prescott has also turned it on with 3 TD passes in 3 straight games and just 2 picks and has 14 TD passes and 4 picks for the year. They have played a better defense and are ranked 11th overall while in 3 of their games they allowed 17 points or less. Washington has dropped 2 of their last 3 games and allowed at least 29 points in both losses. while their 3 total losses have all been to the better teams in the league. They allow over 325 yards a game and 25 points a game. They have been better stopping the run than the pass buy will need to do both against the Cowboys. QB Cousins has thrown for over 1600 yards with 12 TD's and 3 picks but their running game hasn't been consistent. They have some defensive injuries and must play a tight game against the Cowboys. They were swept last year by Dallas and have lost 4 of the last 5 meetings with them. Take Dallas |

10-29-17 | Texans v. Seahawks -6.5 | 38-41 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
                          TEXANS @ SEAHAWKS Houston has been alternating wins and losses for the last 6 games. They allowed less than 17 points in each of their 3 wins and allowed at least 29 points in each of their 3 losses. Their defense is not close to last season when they were on top in the NFL but now sit 27th in total defense and 25th in points allowed as the give up almost 25 a game. They have had a big spark from rookie QB Watson who has thrown 15 TD's with 5 picks but I don't feel he has faced a defense like Seattle when they are home as they lead the league in points allowed at 15.7 a game and at home are 2-0 allowing less than 14 a game. They have held 2 of the best offenses in the league below 17 points and have won 3 straight games. Their offense is ranked 11th in passing as they average 21 points a game. This could be Watson's wake up call as to the way defense can be played in the NFL. Take Seattle |

                              49ERS @ EAGLES SF is winless and it was as ugly as it gets last week as Dallas destroyed them 40-10. They are now on the road against the 6-1 Eagles who are #1 against the run allowing 67 yards a game and #12 allowing less than 21 points a game. They only average 97 rushing yards a game and are ranked 25th in scoring with 17.6 points a game. Their defense hasn't played very good either as they are ranked 29th in the league and allow almost 27 points a game. The Eagles are led by the 4th ranked QB in the league as Wentz has thrown for over 1850 yards with 17 TD's against 4 picks. They have won 5 straight games and in that stretch he has 13 TD passes and just 2 picks. They are ranked 3rd in total offense and are ranked 5th in scoring with over 28 points a game. This is a huge mismatch that could get out of hand. Take Philadelphia |

                           PANTHERS @ BUCS Carolina has lost 2 straight and last week was ugly as they committed 3 TO's of which 2 were returned for TD's and managed just 293 yards of offense as the Bears slammed them 17-3. They are ranked 23rd in scoring at 18.7 points a game and only a tough defense has prevented a total meltdown like last season. Their last 3 wins and they have just 4 so far were by 12 points total. They have been held below 14 points in 3 games and last season were swept by the Bucs. Tampa Bay has their own problems as they are 2-4 and losers of 3 straight games. Their offense has been solid as they are 2nd in the league with 393 yards a game and are 1st in passing. They average over 24 points a game and if they can play defense they will be hard to beat, The sluggish Panther offense is just what they might need. Take Tampa Bay |

                            RAIDERS @ BILLS Oakland has broken their 4 game skid with a 31-30 win last week against KC but still occupy last place in the AFC West. The Raiders will be without RB Lynch because of a suspension and that will put more pressure on the 18th ranked passing game of the Raiders. They average just over 300 yards a game and are ranked 22nd while they score 22 points a game.Their defense ranks 26th in the league as they allow over 360 yards a game. Buffalo is 3-0 at home and have won 3 of their last 4 games including a comeback last week on the final play. Their defense has allowed 20 points or less in 5 of their 6 games as they are ranked 4th allowing less than 17 points a game. If they can put pressure on Carr this could get ugly for Oakland.

They are ranked 8th as they allow just 18.7 points a game holding opponents to 22 points or less in 5 of their last 6 games. They are 3rd in the league with 23 sacks while their 11th ranked defense allows under 80 yards rushing a game. QB Rivers has been hot as he has 8 TD passes and just 1 pick over his last 4 games. New England has won 3 straight but that monster offense from last year hasn't shown up. They haven't scored more than 24 points in any of those wins while their defense has really struggled. They are ranked dead last in yards per game allowing over 426 and are dead last allowing 310 yards passing, They get a lot of yards but are not good at scoring points. If they don't get their 17th ranked running game going then LA could be all over Brady for most of the day. Take Los Angeles |

                            GEORGIA TECH @ CLEMSON Georgia Tech brings it's 2nd ranked in the nation running game that averages 373 yards a game and a 4-2 record to do battle with Clemson. Tech is in 2nd place at 3-1 in conference behind Miami who is 4-0 while 4-1 in conference Clemson is right behind 4-0 NC State. This is a big game for both teams as they are both behind the leaders in their division. Tech has 2 losses and both were by just a point. Everyone knows about their offense which features the triple option led by QB Marshall who is the leading rusher with over 700 yards and 11 rushing TD's to go along with 5 that he has thrown. But their defense has been key for them as they held teams to 17 points or less in 4 of their wins while being ranked 20th in total defense in the country. as far as yards the teams are pretty evenly matched on defense but Clemson allows less than 14 points a game where Tech allows just over 20. Offensively Tech scores over 34 points a game while Clemson has been held below 30 points in 3 games and average just over 33 a game. Clemson is coming off a 27-24 loss to Syracuse and have been held below 30 points in 2 straight games. Tech is 6-0 ATS while Clemson hasn't covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and all 3 times they were double digit favorites. A big question is the health of Clemson QB Bryant who was knocked out of the Syracuse game with a concussion. Take Georgia Tech |

                      NC STATE @ NOTRE DAME The Wolfpack who are on top in their conference and are ranked 14th bring a 6 game winning streak into South Bend to play the Irish.

Of their 37 TD's scored, 28 have been on the ground. They are also 6-1 with their loss against another team that shut s down the run as Georgia beat them and held the Irish to less than 70 yards rushing.

                              TCU @ IOWA ST TCU is 7-0 and leads the Big 12 with a balanced offense ranked 34th overall and a defense ranked 12th overall. This is why they are the 4th ranked team in the country. But they are on the road against 2nd place Iowa St who beat Oklahoma while scoring at least 31 points in 6 of their 7 games.

Offensively TCU scores 41 points a game while the Cyclones average 35 while TCU averages 65 more yards a game. TCU has 2 wins against ranked teams as they beat West Va. and Oklahoma St. While the Cyclones beat Oklahoma and Texas Tech on the road in 2 of their 3 straight wins. They have a very good passing game as they average 279 yards a game. There will be a little revenge factor as Iowa has lost the last 4 meetings with TCU. This is a huge game for the Cyclones who already have 2 losses so look for a big defensive stand. Take Iowa State |

                         PENN STATE @ OHIO STATE Penn St brings a 7-0 record and their #2 ranking into Ohio to face the 6th ranked Buckeyes. They are led by QB McSorley who has thrown for over 1800 yards and 14 TD's while also being the 2nd leading rusher and scoring 7 rushing TD's.

Their last 3 wins were against Big 10 teams with records under .500. Take Penn State |

                              GEORGIA VS FLORIDA The Bulldogs are sitting on top of the SEC East and are 7-0.

The gators are 3-3 after losing their last 2 games by a total of 3 points. Their defense hasn't played that badly as they allowed 24 points or less in 3 straight games and 4 of 5 overall. They have rushed for at least 200 yards in each of their last 3 games and will need to get that established against this Georgia defense as they will need to open uop a passing game as well. The Gators have a balanced attack as they have over 1000 yards rushing and passing but only average 351 yards a game. Their defense might have to be flawless if they want to win but the spread is pretty big in this rivalry which the Gators have won the last 3 meetings and covered the spread the last 4. Take Florida |

                        VIRGINIA @ PITTSBURGH Virginia was thumped last week by Boston College 41-10 as they allowed over 500 yards of offense with 275 yards on the ground. QB Benkert completed just 17 of 33 passes for 126 yards with 1 pick, In their prior game to North Carolina they barely survived a 20-14 win to possibly the worst team in the ACC. They gave up over 200 yards on the ground and Benkert again threw for less than 250 yards but threw 2 TD's. They have 3 of their 4 other wins against teams much worse than they are. Pittsburgh won for only the 2nd time all year but their running game picked up over 300 yards against a pretty solid Duke team. They have played a much more difficult schedule as 3 of their 5 losses were against Ranked teams. Their win last week was on the road at Duke and now they are back home, Virginia hasn't played well against the better teams and could be in for a rough one in Pittsburgh. Take Pittsburgh |

                         OKLAHOMA ST @ WEST VIRGINIA The Cowboys averted a 2nd loss when they beat Texas in OT 13-10 last week. It was the 1st game they were held below 31 points. QB Rudolph leads the nation with 2650 passing yards and his 19 TD passes has him tied at 8th best. Texas put a loy of pressure on him and sacked him twice and had a lot of hurries. His 282 yards was the lowest total of the year and it was the 1st game he didn't throw a TD. West Va. has a 2 game winning streak after losing to TCU. They scored at least 38 points in all 5 of their wins but their defense needs to improve. They are led by QB Grier who is ranked 7th but leads the nation with 26 TD passes. Both teams can put points on the board but it's a lot harder on the road. This is a live dog. Take West Virginia |

10-28-17 | Texas v. Baylor +9 | 38-7 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 52 m | Show | |
                          TEXAS @ BAYLOR Texas had their hearts ripped out in their last 2 games losing by 8 total points to Oklahoma and Oklahoma St at home. it was their chance to get in the top tier of the Big 12. Now they are on the road at Baylor and a Conference title in the rear view mirror. Their offense has been held to 24 points or less in 4 games and their last 2 wins were by 16 points total. They have injuries as their QB for 5 of their 7 games is out along with some dinged receivers. Baylor who hasn't won a game all year has very little pressure on them and in 3 of 4 home games have scored at least 36 points. In their most recent loss they charged back scoring 23 points in the 4th quarter but came up 2 points short against a very good West Va., team. This could be a spot to steal a win against a hurting Texas team who might have their minds elsewhere and it's almost a double digit spread and Texas has won by more than 10 just once. Take Baylor |

10-27-17 | Dodgers v. Astros -129 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
                            DODGERS @ ASTROS Darvish pitches for LA with a 10-12 record and a 3.86 ERA. In 9 starts for LA since joining them he was 4-3 with a 3.63 ERA. He doesn't usually pitch deep into games and didn't get past 5.1 innings in his last 5 losses. He has pitched well in the postseason giving up just 2 runs in 11.1 innings. He knows the Houston team very well as they have 163 at bats against him and he is 4-1 against Houston in his career. McCullers takes the mound for Houston with a 7-4 record and a 4.25 ERA. He has also pitched well in the postseason allowing 3 runs in 13 innings. He had a rough September when he returned from a month on the DL but he is looking good again. He was 4-0 at home with a 3.04 ERA and is 17-4 at home in his career while starting just once against LA where he pitched 7 innings and allowed 2 runs in a no decision. Houston has the momentum since their game 2 dramatic extra inning win and a pitcher who likes where he is pitching. Take Houston |

10-27-17 | Florida State -5 v. Boston College | 3-35 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
                         FLORIDA ST @ BOSTON COLLEGE Florida St has played one of the toughest schedules in the country so far. To make that even tougher they lost their starting QB in the 1st game of the year when they played Alabama, That was the first of 2 games they would lose to top 10 teams, while also losing to #14 Miami. They are still 1 of the most dangerous teams in the country as they also won 2 games on the road at Duke and Wake Forest both of whom are very tough at home. Their defense has kept them in games while the offense has sputtered at times. They are ranked 15th in total defense and allow 22.5 points a game while allowing 350 yards a game. Boston College has won 2 straight games and scored over 40 points in each game and both were on the road. As a matter of fact 3 of their 4 losses were at home and against good defenses. They lost to the Irish, Wake Forest and Va. Tech at home all of who are in the nation's top 40 in total defense. This is a big letdown spot for Eagles and another tough game against a very good defense. Take Florida State |

                        CLIPPERS @ BLAZERS LA has won 3 straight games with 2 of them at home. their last game was a tough win against the Jazz and now they are back on the road against Portland who play very well at home. They lost a point guard in Teodosic who gave them 30 total minutes in 2 games. They are short handed at that position and will have Thornwell who is a rookie probably starting. Portland has won 3 of their 4 games so far and scored over 103 points in each and average 112 points a game. The Blazers have also covered the spread in each win. This is not a good spot for the Clippers and they will be looking for a day off that they get the day after tomorrow. Portland averages over 113 point a game while holding opponents to 94.5 which is a differential of 18.3 points which ranks them 2nd in the league. They are 9-3 in their last 12 home games and 18-7 over all in their last 25 games dating til last year. Take Portland |

                           BENGALS @ STEELERS Cincinnati has won their last 2 games after losing their 1st 3 games. They pulled out a win last week scoring 10 points in the 4th quarter but are struggling on offense. They are ranked 30th in the league in total offense and are 30th in points scored at 16.8 points a game. They rush for just 84 yards a game and QB Dalton has just 1 game of 300 yds passing while throwing 7 TD's and 6 picks. Their defense has played well and is allowing less than 20 points a game. Pittsburgh has struggled on offense and scored less than 20 points in 3 of their last 4 games with Big Ben throwing 7 TD's with 8 picks. They beat a good KC team last week 19-13 as their defense which is ranked 7th overall and allows 17 points a game continues to play well. They lead the league in pass defense and they have been able to run the ball and pass for almost 250 yards a game but TO's have hurt them. They should be able to hold off the Bengal offense and if Big Ben can stop throwing picks, the Steeler offense can put points on the board. They have beaten the Bengals their last 4 meetings. Take Pittsburgh |

                          BRONCOS @ CHARGERS Denver has lost 2 of their last 3 games and haven't scored more than 16 points in any of them. They are ranked 27th in total offense and average 21 points a game. In those last 3 games QB Siemian has thrown just 2 TD's and 4 picks while not passing for 300 yards since the 1st game of the year. Their defense which is ranked 1st can only do so much as their offense flounders. The Chargers are 2-4 but have won 2 straight while 3 of their losses were by 7 points total. They are last in the league stooping the run but rank 4th in stopping the pass and have allowed 21 points a game. They are ranked 9th in total offense with Rivers leading them as the 4th ranked QB in the league with over 1600 yards and 10 TD's. Over the last 3 games he has passed for at least 250 yards a game and thrown 6 TD's and just 1 pick. Take Los Angeles |

10-22-17 | Cowboys -6 v. 49ers | 40-10 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
                         COWBOYS @ 49ERS Dallas needs to tighten up their defense that allowed at least 35 point in their 3 losses. Their offense scored over 30 points in the last 2 games but they lost anyway. They average 25 points a game and QB Prescott has thrown 8 TD's and almost 700 yards in their last 3 games. They are ranked 10th overall defensively but allowed 35 points in each of the last 2 games. They have played better as they gave up just 20 points total in their 2 wins. SF is winless but haven't played as bad as their record indicates. They lost 2 of their last 3 games in OT and 5 losses were by 3 points or less. They are ranked 28th overall on defense as they allow a lot of yardage giving up over 375 yards a game. They are weak against the pass ranked 26th and allow over 260 passing yards a game. This is very dangerous against a Dallas team that can run the ball and then pass almost at will as they are ranked 7th in passing yards. The combination of Dallas' ability to run and pass could be dangerous to the SF defense. Expect an offensive show from the Cowboys. Take Dallas |

10-22-17 | Bucs v. Bills -3 | 27-30 | Push | 0 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
                             BUCS @ BILLS QB Winston was injured last week and it will probably be Fitzpatrick taking the snaps today. This won't help the Bucs who are ranked 2nd in passing and that takes away a big weapon. They didn't need that as they face the league's best at scoring defense holding opponents to 14 a game. The Bills have trouble getting a good passing game going but should have a better game against the 31st ranked pass defense who allow over 300 yards passing a game. The Bucs will have trouble running as they rush for just 82 yards a game and Buffalo is ranked 7th allowing less than 90 rushing yards a game. The Bills have won both of their home games and the home team has won 8 of the last 9 meetings between these teams, Take Buffalo |

                              CARDS @ RAMS RB Peterson was the spark Arizona needed to get their offense on track. QB Palmer had been at the top of the league in passing but without a running game it was harder to score points and keep defenses honest. They put up 38 points as a result and gave the team a much needed win. They now face LA who have the 29th ranked run defense and that will help QB Palmer who is ranked 2nd in passing. The Rams allow over 350 yards a game and Arizona should be able to take advantage of their weak defense and control the ball. Take Arizona |

                            SAINTS @ PACKERS New Orleans has won 3 straight games and are ranked 4th in points scored with 29 a game. Their 7th ranked offense averages 372 yards a game led by QB Brees with over 1300 yards and 10 TD passes. Last week the won 52-38 over Detroit and their defense had 5 takeaways and have played better than recent years as they are 13th in the league overall and allow 23 points a game. In 2 of their 3 wins they allowed just 13 points total and 2 of the wins were on the road. The Packers are not in a good spot as Rodgers won't be playing. Backup Hundley was 18 of 33 for 157 yards and 1 TD but he threw 3 picks in the 23-10 loss to the Vikings. They are losing a QB ranked 11th and threw 13 TD's while leading the Pack to a 4-1 record. They don't have a running game to fall back on as they average just 88 yards a game good for 26th in the league. They have been vulnerable defensively as Dallas gouged them for over 400 yards which 245 yards and 3 TD's came thru the air. Now they have to face another passing QB and a pretty good offense without their best offensive weapon. Take New Orleans |

10-22-17 | Panthers v. Bears +3 | 3-17 | Win | 100 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
                          PANTHERS @ BEARS Carolina has been inconsistent on offense and stand 4-2. QB Newton has scored the only rushing TD from a team that scores 21 points a game. They rush for less than 100 yards a game so the defense ranked 9th has been able to keep them in games where the offense fizzled. Newton has to do better as they lost to Philadelphia at home last week when he threw 3 interceptions. Chicago won in OT last week and started Trubisky at QB. His numbers weren't great but he didn't make a lot of mistakes. They ran for over 200 yards and if they can keep that up against Carolina it will help their passing game. Last week was the most points they scored in a game this year and with the 8th ranked passing defense and Carolina's poor running game the Bears at home as a dog is a good play. Take Chicago |

They have a balanced offense that is ranked 9th overall and is led by QB Darnold who has thrown for over 2000 yards with 15 TD's but also has 9 interceptions. They beat Utah 28-27 last week and were lucky when Utah went for 2 after their last TD and were stopped. They were a 13.5 point favorite in the game and it was the 5th straight game they failed to cover the spread. They might have been looking ahead to this game with the Irish as the loser will have their playoff hopes put on hold. They are vulnerable defensively as they give up almost 400 yards a game which has them ranked 86th. The Irish have won 4 straight since losing their only game to Georgia 20-19. All 4 wins were by double digits and they covered the spread in each game. They have a powerful running game that gets over 300 yards a game while scoring 40 points. They are ranked 6th rushing and 14th scoring points while their 15th ranked defense allows less than 16 points a game. The home team has won the last 4 meetings as well as covering the spread.

Last week they lost @ Boston College as a 20 point favorite while giving up 45 points to a team ranked 116th in scoring. They have failed to cover the spread in 5 straight games and in 6 of their 7 games played. Their biggest wins were over Murray and Kent St who were both 40+ point underdogs. They are ranked 83rd in total defense and allow an average of 30 points a game. Florida St is 2-3 but their 3 losses were against arguably 2 of the best teams in the ACC and Alabama who all have a combined 18-1 record. They have a great defense that is ranked 6th overall in the country as they allow less than 300 yards a game. They also have a bit of revenge on their minds after last years 63-20 beating @ Louisville. Take Florida State |

They scored at least 38 points in 5 of their 6 games with an offense that averages over 400 yards a game and is ranked 21st in the country while scoring over 35 points a game. They lost in OT 44-41 to Iowa for 1 of their losses and their other loss was in Texas. They also have a very good defense that is ranked 36th tied with Ohio St as they have held 3 of their last 4 opponents to 17 points or less. Texas Tech has 1 of the better offenses in the country as they average over 540 yards a game and score over 44 points. They had the bulk of their scoring against 3 teams. Eastern Washington an FCS school and Baylor and Kansas who are ranked in the bottom 10 in the country in scoring defense as they both allow over 40 points a game. They aren't very good on defense as they are ranked 93rd allowing over 430 yards a game and over 30 points. They lost 2 of their last 3 games and allowed over 40 points in each loss.

                              OKLAHOMA STATE @ TEXAS The Cowboys are 5-1 led by QB Rudolph with over 2300 yards and 19 TD passes. They scored over 40 points in all 5 of their wins but 3 were against teams ranked at the bottom in defense. Tulsa is ranked 122nd and Pitt is ranked 98th and Baylor is 121st while South Alabama allowed over 40 points to both Power 5 schools they played including the Cowboys. They failed to cover the spread against the 2 quality teams they played as they lost to TCU as a 9 point favorite and beat Texas Tech by 7 as a 10 point favorite. This might be their toughest game yet as Texas is home and is coming off a tough 5 point loss to Oklahoma last week. All 3 of Texas' losses were by 10 points or less and their defense has held 4 of their last 5 opponents below 30 points. This is a tough road game for the Cowboys and a win for Texas puts them at 3-1 in the conference and right in the hunt. Take Texas |

                             IDAHO @ MISSOURI Idaho is 2-4 and play in the lightly regarded Sun Belt Conference but have an excellent defense that is ranked 24th in the country. They give up just over 25 points a game and are extremely good against the pass being ranked 6th in the country. They have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 games and all as the underdog. Their last 2 losses were by 8 points total while against a very good Appalachian St team were leading after 3 quarters before losing by a FG. Missouri has lost 5 straight games after winning their opening game. They have allowed at least 35 points in their last 4 losses and were held to 14 points or less in 3 of them. Even the game they won they allowed 43 points to a bad Missouri St team. They are ranked 110th in the country overall defensively and allow over 42 points a game which is 4th worst in the country at 127th. They are a 2 TD favorite over a team that can play defense and really has nothing to get excited about in this game. Take Idaho |

                            DODGERS @ CUBS Kershaw pitches for LA with an 18-4 record and a 2.31 ERA. He pitched the opening game of this series and went 5 innings while allowing 2 runs and 4 hits in a game the Dodgers would win. He won his other postseason start against Arizona and finished out the regular season winning 6 of his last 8 decisions. Quintana takes the mound for Chicago with an 11-11 record and a 4.15 ERA. He hasn't won a postseason game so far but has pitched well as he allowed 2 runs and 5 hits in 11.1 innings. His last start was against LA where he allowed 2 runs and 2 hits in 5 innings but the Cubs lost that game against Kershaw. In his last 2 starts at home he allowed 7 runs and 12 hits in 10.1 innings. The Cubs are down 3-1 and a loss here sends the Dodgers to the World Series and the Cubs go home.

QB Dungey leads the offense that throws for 325 yards a game which is 13th best in the country while scoring 32 points a game. Their defense allows 24 points a game which is an improvement over the 38 points allowed last year. Dungey is the 8th ranked passing yards leader in the country while they rush for over 141 yards a game. Syracuse should be able to keep this close as Clemson might be looking ahead with games against Ga Tech, NC St and Fla. St coming up and a QB who was injured last week. Expect a conservative game from Clemson. The Orange are home and this is a big spread. Take Syracuse |

                            CHARGERS @ GIANTS San Diego average just 18 points a game and QB Rivers who has thrown for 1107 yards has also thrown just 6 TD's and 4 picks. Their running game is ranked 29th as they average 67 yards a game which doesn't help their passing game which is ranked 6th. Defensively they are ranked 23rd overall and 23rd in points allowed giving up over 23 a game. Their rushing defense allows 163.5 yards a game which keeps the ball out of their hands. They are winless and these stats are reasons why. NY is having the same problems as they have no running game and their offense only scores 15 points a game. The only difference is that NY played 3 of their games on the road and they have a better run defense but not much. This is a home game for NY and that should be enough to get them in the win column. Take New York |
