Taking the COLTS. We cashed with Washington last week and these Patriots. Now. This isn't Manning vs Brady by any stretch. Right out of the gate, we are also on the UNDER here. That being said - Colts Outright here. We have the best player on offense and defense. Patriots with zero play makers. They beat the Jets by 5 on some gift INTs. 17-14 over Pitt. How do you trust them. I am hoping Zappe doesn't come in at halftime and sparks something. The line is actually coming down. 4* Money Maker INDIANAPOLIS COLTS |

Taking the IRISH here. Man. What is up with this line? I thought Clemson would be a bigger favorite honestly. This is an ND team that has lost to Stanford and Marshall here - as 20 and 17pt favorites! But then you see them go to NC and score 45. Beat BYU in Vegas. Nice road win over SU who nearly, or should have, beat Clemson on the road. Now - I am not a fan of the Irish HC or QB. And now they face a really good defense. I couldn't get down on the opening total and now the value is long gone. But this line again. Smells like a fishy sitting on a rock in July on the Jersey shore. It stinks. 4* Money Maker NOTRE DAME |

If it looks to good, it usually is. Much like that Clemson line. Maybe we go 0-2 with dogs. We'll see. Look. We have seen them struggle on the road. They finally took a loss in Tennessee. We don't have to go over some of their close calls. Tigers seem to have found a little offense the last 2 weeks putting up 45 vs Mississippi and Florida. Tide with a bye week to see if they can slow it down. I actually like the Under also. 4* Money Maker LSU |

Texas could really be undefeated. This is a solid team. And as much as I like the KST program, I think the Longhorns get it done by 10 here.

Taking TROY. ULL was thought to be a tough out in the Sun Belt West when the season started. 4-4, looks like still some work to do. Troy the top dogs now. The defense will be the difference for me. 30 points allowed the last 3 games. This game really screams under to me. I can't believe it is the 40s. I think this is a under 38/39. Both teams rested coming in. ULL has won the last 2 so we are getting a double revenge road favorite this afternoon. 4* Money Maker TROY |

Taking TENNESSEE. We have had the Vols a few times and they have all cashed. Until someone slows down the offense, we will back them. Georgia will be the best unit these guys have faced. If Georgia pulls out the double digit win, nothing I can do. This game opened at 11 and has been dropping. The 'Playoff Rankings' says Vols #1 Georgia #3. People I respect, the line makers, see the Bulldogs as a sizable favorite. If the line opened 7, 7.5, I would probably be leaning Georgia. Giving 9 to a team scoring almost 50. Man. I have to grab the points. Public dog, it looks that way. I don't like to be there, but here we are. We will know soon enough if this is a total mismatch, and at least we can get a little in-game if it starts to get away from us. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE |

Taking OKLAHOMA STATE. When you get demolished 48-0 its nice to have a team on deck that you have beaten 12 straight including 8-2-2 ATS with the shortest line being 17. Looks like Sanders is out at QB for the Cowboys which is why the is here instead of -6. It is tough putting faith on a defense to finally show up, as OSU has been terrible in Big 12 play. But as I have said before about Kansas. Yeah. It is a nice little season and the program is moving forward. But they don't have the depth of talent the top teams have. Now, Mike Gundy's son as QB. Eh. Not really loving it. Leaning on the more established program to get on track here. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA STATE |

Taking the EAGLES. Well - this line has totally ballooned. PHILLY FH is the play here... I still think they win by about 17. But like the Bills on Sunday night. If they take their foot off the gas, we might have to worry late. I had the Texans Sunday. I liked them before the QB change. Thought Lovie would have some answers for Henry. If he couldn't stop a 1 man offense, I find it hard to believe that they can slow down an actual team offense. And this team looks very good right now. I think Philly names the score here. 30-10 or something around those lines seems about right. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ---------- A quick note everyone.. Have had quite a few new subs either weekly or monthly. First - THANK YOU. .I really appreciate everyone who purchases any of my picks. So again. Thanks. - I know some have emailed in about lack of plays Wednesday. And every so often I have to address it. I do bet a lot of games. You see the numbers. But sometimes, I don't like anything. And if I am not betting it, how the heck can I put it on here when I have people putting there money on it. Believe me. A college basketball Saturday there might 25 games that are posted to be bet. This Monday, there could be 20-30 games. You see College + Pro football. Double digit games sometimes. -- Please. Mind your bankroll. This isn't 9 team parlay of your life. 6-3 is a winning day of straight bets. NBA is not a sport I love with a bunch of babies sitting out for load management. So NBA will not have the numbers of MLB, Football or soon to be College Hoops. There are 2 NBA Game Thursday night. I did the Free Pick with Hannah today. Said I like the Warriors -7.. Line is now 8. I am not using it on the site. I plan to make our money in the NFL. Everyone excited about MACtion. Well I liked the Unders the last 2 days. I didn't bet a single one. You don't have to bet everything cause you like it. Is there an edge? That is when we bet it. I'm trying to make myself, and my followers money. Not bet just to bet a game that is on TV. -- UTEP beat Charlotte 41-35 and Rice lost to Charlotte 56-23 as 15 point Favorites - and are favored today. This is a game you want to put your money on? Not me. We are locked in with NFL right now. CFB is ok at 54% (82-71). NBA is 4-1. We will find our spots and hit them. Again, thanks for following. ~ Higgs |

Enter Aaron Rodgers and a Packers team that is a hot mess. A team that has giving up 27 to Jets 21 to Washington 27 to NE with a 3rd stringer making his debut. And now they get MVP Allen. Forget it. Off a bye week. This game will be a 20pt funeral for Rogers. I can see maybe a desperate attempt to get about 20 points. But Buffalo drops 37-40 and it is not even close.

Rams beat a terrible Carolina team before their bye week. Still not buying them even with San Fran getting demolished by the Chiefs. The Rams offense is not KC - not by any stretch. This team is quick, find Cupp and throw it. Will there be some magic maybe off the bye. Maybe- and it will be short lived. Will there be any San Fran fans at this game?

But these guys put points on the board. Daboll has NYG at 6-1 and looking like a Coach of the Year. Giants have played at Jacksonville and in London.

Taking DALLAS. So we did drop the Patriots on MNF. But you know what, that might help us here. No way the Cowboys will be overlooking the Bears, that's for sure. You beat The Hoodie on the road on MNF when the entire league is watching. You are going to get noticed. Any idea on Dallas that they would just cruise past Chicago went out the window when the showed up at practice Tuesday. And let's not forget - even though we cashed Dallas over the Lions, that game was something like 10-6 heading to the 4th quarter. That wasn't a cake walk with Dak back. But for me, this is all about the Dallas defense. It should really stymie the Chicago offense. They have done a terrific job all year. Can't see the Bears breaking out for 30+ in back to back games - both on the road - and a short week to boot. Cowboys lead the league in sacks and are 3rd in takeaways. I think they add to that and get us a 14pt win this afternoon. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS |

Taking the PATRIOTS. As mentioned in the Dallas write-up - the league saw the Patriots take an absolutely humiliating loss to the Bears. 200+ yards of rushing allowed. Defense was what made these guys a good bet! 3 INTs and a lost fumble. Not being able to recover any of the Bears putting it on the ground 5 times or whatever. Terrible. Now the World loving the Jets. Riding high off that Denver road win. But costly - lose your RB, probably your best OL. Yeah. The traded with Jax for a solid RB. But still. Hall was electric. For me. This is The Hoodie owning NYJ for his entire career. Off that loss. Oh man. I don't know if Mac Jones is hurt or just working off the rust. I don't care if we get him and Zappe. Whoever is taking snaps, I need 7 points. Because I can't see how anyone on that defense is getting any rest after that performance on Monday night. 4* Money Maker NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS |

Wolverines demolished Penn State. Now - if this was right after those games, maybe we take the points and think some momentum and Michigan feeling good crushing PSU. But with a week to stew over losing 2 straight to Michigan State, I think we get a full effort here. Harbaugh needs to really run it up here. In-state "Little Brother" rival with 2 straight wins. Forget 2 straight wins - how about 10-4 SU and about 12-2 ATS vs you. -- 'Little Brother'? I am sure every year people say - this is it. This is the year we get payback. Maybe Spartans hang tough for a half. They have been bad on offense and defense all year. Yeah. Highly motivated dog. Maybe its my Fab Five bias from the old days.

How about 10 at Green Bay and 10 at the Giants. They put points in Minny vs a team that just flew back from London. The Bears don't have Lamar and the Ravens coming to put up points.

That is just more Zeke and Pollard who will, if given the carries, but get about 190 and 2+ TDs between them. Dallas defense will score a touchdown today. Off a bye week, the Lions last ranked defense hasn't improved enough. And this offense, if they get their RB back, will not score 30 against Dallas. And if they do. Well.

Loss | -110 | 143 h 14 m | Show |
Taking JAMES MADISON. Lost with these guys last week. I think they take out the pain here on Marshall. I think the Herd still think that Notre Dame win is equal to 9 wins and they don't have to play anymore. -17 vs Bowling Green, lose outright... -3.5 vs Troy, lose outright... -31 vs Gardner Webb, 28-7... -10.5 vs ULL, lose outright. Maybe we get an inflated number with Madison off their loss. But I expect a crisp game with no turnovers here. This is has 41-16 written all over it. 4* Money Maker JAMES MADISON |

Taking TOLEDO. Ok - Buffalo opened with a loss to Holy Cross and has now reeled off 4 straight. Rockets with losses to Ohio State and San Diego State both on the road in their non-conference play. But the MACtion has lit a fire in their offense. Near identical 52-32 and 52-31 wins the last 2 week and a 38-17 to just start off conference play. I though Bulls would struggle a bit this year. They have surprised me a bit. I got down on the OVER 60.5 on this one also. These guys haven't met since 2019 so toss out revenge for Toledo as Buffalo won 49-30 as 10 point favorites. 4* Money Maker TOLEDO ROCKETS |

Taking BOWLING GREEN here. I will say Central Michigan is probably the better team. But, do we trust them with this kind of number? I sure don't. CMU 0-3 ATS in MAC play - twice not covering as a favorite. This is a FG type game, and I think the Falcons can win this one outright. 4* Money Maker BOWLING GREEN |

Taking DUKE. Blue Devils have surprised me a bit. The new HC doing a good job. I am a 'Canes guy. And their QB has been improving. For me though, too many points. Even with Duke in off some dogfights the last two weeks - I think that actually helps. They will be fighting here. Again. Sometimes I take dogs thinking outright upsets. Other times, I see the fave that is not totally focused and we can squeeze in the number late. 47-10 and 48-0 the last 2 years as the Hurricanes rolled. Miami hasn't covered 5 straight weeks with last weeks 20-0 entering the 4th turning into 20-14 non cover. Doggy for me. 4* Money Maker DUKE BLUE DEVILS |

Syracuse +14 v. Clemson | | 21-27 |

Taking SYRACUSE. This will probably come back to bite me in my giant butt. The Orange didn't fold in their look-ahead spot last week. Now they face Clemson who is really starting to put it together. I have seen the Tigers let teams get back late and take a big win to a non-cover. Syracuse has played Clemson tough the last few seasons. Now, with a lofty ranking for them we find out how real they are. A banged up Boilermakers team and last week you get a team with a backup QB. Well. Now you get a annual Top 5 program. I thought Babers was on the hot-seat and beat SU Under wins. Well that went out the window in September. Notre Dame on deck for Clemson. Clemson has 1 monster blow-out cover this year. Cuse brings a solid defense. I think we get inside the number. 4* Money Maker SYRACUSE ORANGEMEN |

Taking HOUSTON, going RUN LINE. Verlander will shut down Yanks. That's it. Bad spot for NYY on top of it.. Crack some beers after a Game 5 win (cost me my Guardians Series). Late flight out. Taillon is not a guy I love. A solid first 2 months, then, not so much. Astros tagged him for 6 runs on 10 hits in 5+ earlier. Yes, Houston rust maybe off long layoff. But, playing basically 4 games with that long extra innings affair. I think it helps. If NYY had problems vs Cleveland bullpen, well Astros arms just as strong. 4* RL Money HOUSTON ASTROS |

Taking the COWBOYS here. Also have Under 45.5 but that is gone. Still like it to be low scoring though which is why are taking the points. Both teams play good defense. I think this is an ugly one. Might not be Amazon NFL ugly, but it will be old school with Dallas wanting to run the ball to easy the pressure on Cooper Rush. Can't say anything bad about Philly. Well, we can since they couldn't do much in the 2nd half last week and cost us a rare loss. This for me is the Cowboys defense keeping the Eagles in check. Should be a FG game. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS |

Taking the BILLS. I have said all season. Buffalo is the best team. The coin-flip revenge season is underway. They have had this game circled since their season ended. And honestly, I said on the Mid Day Show - KC going for 2 to get up 8 shows that their coach has zero faith in their defense making a stop. I don't care if the Bills have 6 backups in the secondary today - it won't matter. This offense is scoring 40. They are not taking their foot off the gas one bit. I love Andy Reid. Him and Mahomes have all types of gaudy home numbers. I get it. But the Bills are the best team in the NFL. I got this line at a PK at open. Now there are 3s out there. I don't care. I think Bills win by double digits. 5* Best Bet BUFFALO BILLS |

Taking the JETS. These guys have been in it really every week. And honestly, this is a fade of Green Bay. I've been saying in Mid Day Money since Week 1 vs Minny - GB can play some defense, but they aren't scoring. Rodgers still looks like he is learning his way with his WRs. Jets play defense themselves. And the offense is coming to life under the new regime. I almost want to say Jets outright here. Line has moved down from the opener. And why not. GB again, plays down to a team and this time they couldn't pull it out. GB at home, and off a lose. I get it. you want to unload on the Packers. Jets beat a 3rd stringer. Rallied vs a rookie making his debut vs Pittsburgh and needed miracles, plural, to win at Cleveland. Angry Rogers sure. But I think NYJ can keep it close. The Bears kept it close and were nearly inside the number! J-E-T-S 4* Money Maker NY JETS |

Taking TENNESSEE. I have talked about this team and this QB for the last month. Here we go. Bama in your stadium. An Alabama bunch who continues to struggle on the road. They defense is even winning Championships, gives up plays to good QBs. Their own QB, not 100%. The backup not ready for prime time. The chinks are in the armor of this Tide bunch. Can the Vols rip it off and expose Alabama to the road SEC loss? I think they can. The points are great, but I think we can get an outright win here. Tennessee defense not the best. They give up some points. But I can't see this team getting beaten by double digits. We had Volunteers last week and they rolled LSU. No look ahead spot. I think we get a focused group and the win this afternoon. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE VOLS |
