Taking SEATTLE, again. These guys forgot they had a game last time out. What a disaster. But, new day. We are back on them. Seattle won last year by 20, and 19 in 2017. I'm looking for them to bring the defense after getting hammered by 30 the other night. Eastern Washington comes in off a huge 107-25 win! That wasn't on XBox. That was against something called Portland Bible College. Folks, that is just some bad mojo beating a school with Bible in it's name like that. 5* Best Bet SEATTLE |

Taking OKLAHOMA. Undefeated season shattered. But I think this offense still drops a 50 spot tonight. Angry defense hasn't forced a TO in a month. Let's face it. Baylor still undefeated in Big 12 play. Ohio State, Penn State, Minny all undefeated in Big 10. Though that will change for 1 of the later after Saturday. LSU / Bama will take an L soon. Sooners still Oklahoma. They can still run things to a 12-1 record and hope for a Playoff Miracle. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS |

Taking CLEMSON. Undefeated, defending Champs, not in the Top 5 of the CFB Playoffs. I would lay 40 here. I think the Tigers demolish NC State who has been exposed the last 2 weeks giving up 89 points to Wake and BC. This is going to be a 55-10 type of game. 10* Money Bomb CLEMSON TIGERS |

Tennessee State +2.5 v. Chattanooga | | 57-59 |

Taking TENNESSEE STATE. Mocs could be in for a long year. Or at least a long couple months. Already with a loss (11pts) on the road to another Ohio Valley team, EKU, Chattanooga gets a team I think is a bit better, albeit they are home. Not sure they should be trusted as a fave though. After Game 1, looks like a lot of offense going through their sophomore PG. 3-13 for Commander from the floor. LY as a frosh he shot 34% and 27% from 3. If he is the starting point. Oh. Could be bumpy. Wesley Harris comes over from West Virginia. He should find the going a bit easier than what he faced in Big 12 night in, night out. This team though is just big. 4 guys shorter than 6'6 so they can really run some size at people. TSU in off a tune-up cup cake where they look like world beaters. But, they are better than Eastern Kentucky who handled the Mocs. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE STATE |

Taking SOUTHERN UTAH. I'll tell you what. I was thinking about Cornhuskers in this spot. Getting smashed at home by Big West Cal Riverside. Now they have Big Sky Thunderbirds coming to town. This team has a bunch of upper class in the starting lineup. 5 guys who scored more than 9ppg last year. They have experienced guard play. They have 6 transfers from Power Conferences on the roster. Basically what Nebraska is trying to do with their guys coming from Robert Morris, Gulf Coast, Pitt and Seattle. Losing by 20 at home to a team that hasn't had a winning season in 19 years is something to take notice of. Not sure they should be favored over an experienced program, small school or not. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN UTAH |

I'm not worried. OSU #1 in the rankings. Running it up, or just playing 100% till the clock says 0:00. Either way, they will get 54+. Would 66-14 really be out of the norm this afternoon? 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE |

Taking MINNY. Look. I get it. Minnesota has played nobody and nobody with back up QBs at times. But I am not as high as Penn State as some. They have been out-gained in 4 games (Buffalo, Pitt, Iowa, Michigan) and still won. I like PJ Fleck as a good motivator from his MAC days. Home dog getting a TD is nice. Should be a grinder for sure. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA |

Now, Ill State was a team I was high on last season. A lot of talent. But up and down due to injuries. They, you would think, be better just based on guys playing in games.

I think with everything around Kansas, maybe, MAYBE, the Jayhawks finally give up the Big 12 crowns. Now, I do like Central Arkansas. This is strong Southland team. But not laying points. I see nothing about Baylor missing 7 guys. So we are taking the low hanging fruit out of the gate. BAYLOR BEARS |

The defense has under-achieved in my eyes. I think they really get after Jones behind center. NYG OL not great shakes at all. Key here to a nice double digit win is Zeke and Dak. They pound early, open things up, and you get the big plays from Dallas WRs. 8* Sure Shot DALLAS COWBOYS |

Taking TAMPA BAY. Like Russell for sure. This is a no brainer when it comes to the QBs here. But Seattle does like to run. And Tampa brings a solid run D. Also, I don't think Seattle can handle the Bucs WRs. These are two #1 wide-outs that could star on any team. Seahawks just not covering as faves. How about 10 straight dogs now in Seattle games? 1-5 ATS this season for Seattle and 0-4 ATS at home. Their 2 wins at home, 21-20 over Cincy, 30-29 over the Rams (remember Rams missed FG at end). Lost to Teddy Bridgewater 33-27, lost to Ravens 30-16. Can't trust them laying even vs this team. 8* Sure Shot TB BUCCANEERS |

Eagles too many weapons not to score something. And the defense is average enough to hold this team to 10 or less points. As great as Bears defense, let's not forget before holding the Chargers in check, 60 points to Saints and Raiders. Couldn't stop Oakland to win a game. 36 to Saints. Eagles look to build off last weeks win. I was against them there, 3 straight on the road. Home, they have to start getting some wins to keep pace with Dallas. 4* Money Maker PHILADELPHIA EAGLES |

Not even sure of what to make of that. A group really trying for a 2 point middle? Well. I will say I was leaning Gators. And why wouldn't I? Fromm not looking like a guy some say should go #1 in the draft. Struggling last 2 games. But why do I see this turning into a big Bulldogs win going away. Both teams off bye weeks. What has been super for Georgia all year, their defense. 40 points allowed in 4 SEC games. You know how you do that. Control the clock. Gators have allowed LSU and South Carolina to both go for over 200 yards on the ground the last 2 games. Double digit win here for the visitors. 5* Best Bet FLORIDA GATORS |

Michigan let the frustration of not betting ranked teams out in a big way over ND last game. Doubt we get a let-down. And why would we? Well, Michigan State on deck. No. Wolverines no position to overlook anyone. Even a bad Terps team. And yes, Maryland is bad. Everyone excited with a 79-0 win over Howard and 63-20 thrashing of Syracuse. Then reality hit. Lost to Temple. Then the wheels fall off the season getting smashed by Big 10 teams. 40-14 at Purdue, 52-10 at Minny, 59-0 vs Penn State. Wolverines win this one 38-14, 44-13.

Last year in a wild 63-59 UMass OT win, Flames QB Calvert tossed 4 INTs. He has 2 total on the season. UMass has 3 QBs who have all thrown for more INTS on the year! Mass in a huge rebuild.

Taking the MAGIC. I have Orlando winning this game outright. Raptors 2-1, but please don't be fooled. This is a different team. They came out of the gate nicely. But the Magic can beat these guys. It was a series last year in the playoffs. Orlando ready to take out the defending champs tonight. 10* Money Bomb ORLANDO MAGIC |

Taking the CHIEFS. Will take KC with Matt Moore behind center. This isn't a nobody rookie behind center. This guy has some starts and wins under his belt. Everyone coming in real heavy with the Packers and what they saw out of Rodgers. Forget that game. Past is past. Today, KC is the play. Have we forgot the gift officiating or just plays that went in GB's favor the last 2 weeks. 5 home games. Time for a road trip and you're favored? Andy Reid 37-17 SU in KC. How about Aaron Rodgers 46-46 career road record! 4* Money Maker KC CHIEFS |

Panthers +6 v. 49ers | Top | 13-51 |
Loss | -120 | 44 h 54 m | Show |
Taking the PANTHERS. Off a bye week, I think they are ready to pick off the Niners. We had the Redskins and managed a half point cover without scoring a point. Washington then proceeded to bite us in the butt on Thursday night as they don't force a punt, but still manage to cover the number. Back to the Niners. Just a spot I think is bad for them. Still banged up on the OL. Plus, short week with division rival Arizona on deck. That is where their focus will be. They can drop an out of division game. Heck, they can win and not cover. I just think that since Cam has been out, this is a different team. 5* Best Bet CAROLINA PANTHERS |

Broncos v. Colts -4 | Top | 13-15 |
Loss | -115 | 41 h 10 m | Show |
Taking the COLTS. Again, back as our Top Play this week. I can't believe this line is where it is. I am shocked is not over a touchdown. In fact, it has dropped a bit. I have no clue why. How can a sharp money player come in on Denver? They just traded a veteran WR. Their QB has looked awful in pocket. Their defense is ok which you would expect from this HC. But everything else is a mess. Indy a focused a group. I said this from the moment Luck went down. There is not really a huge drop off to Brissett. Kid filled in when Luck was lost for the season before. That is huge. The defense cost them games that season. That has improved. The OL has improved. The run game. Everything has improved. Like this HC. You see how Philly has struggled since he has left. Much like the guy in SF. He leaves ATL after the Super Bowl loss and Falcons can't muster anything. Huge end on the sidelines for us today. I don't care about extra rest for Denver. That team played scared even after Mahomes went down. If this isn't a double digit win I will be shocked. 10* Money Bomb INDIANAPOLIS COLTS |

Lions who I thought were off to a promising start, well, losing your RB hurts. I just can't back the Lions as a favorite of this size. 8* Sure Shot NY GIANTS |

California +21.5 v. Utah | Top | 0-35 |

Taking CAL. Big ballsy play as a 10*. I get it. 3 straight losses. An offense that can't score 20. But, we are getting 3 TDs tonight. Utah with their own injured QB. Maybe he plays a bit. Maybe he gets hurt. Bears defense hasn't give up more than 24 points in 14 straight games. I'm looking for a score or 2 and we should be home free with a win. Thought about the Under 37.5, but this is a 6 full points lower than any Cal total this season. Bears on a 13-3 under run in PAC 12 games and 10 of their last 11 on the road have gone under. Just tossing out some trends for you. 10* Money Bomb CAL BEARS |

Taking OHIO STATE. Buckeyes 9-1 SU and 7-2-1 ATS last 10 in the series vs Wiscy. Badgers, in the old, let-down, look ahead spot get picked off on the road by Illinois. Let's not also forget them playing down on the road to Northwestern either squeezing out a 24-15 win. Same Northwestern team OSU throttled 52-3. Smallest margin of victory so far for Ohio State, 24. That's FAU and Mich State. Mich State who Wiscy beat 38-0. That was after OSU put the nail in their season coffin though. Even looking at who they each played, I still think this is a 20pt win for Ohio State. 4* Money Maker OHIO STATE |

Oklahoma -23 v. Kansas State | | 41-48 |
Loss | -110 | 39 h 37 m | Show |
Taking the SOONERS. 49-70-55-52. Those are the points Oklahoma has put up on the road so far this season. #1 offense in the land. But more impressive, 28th in total defense. Normally they are in wild 50-40 shoot-outs. But the defense has looked solid so far. And let's be honest, Kansas State is still a bit below par right now. Like their new HC. And down the road 23 points is too many. Not here. Not now. Sooners still need style points to keep up with Ohio State and LSU, even Alabama who continue to push the 50pt mark. KSt can't stop the run and Oklahoma, besides Hurts going for 700 on the ground in addition his 20/3 2300 passing numbers, has two other backs, Brooks and Sermon going for 8.5 and 7.2 yards per carry also. Too much for Wildcats to slow down. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA SOONERS |

Taking the VIKINGS. I think it is safe to say that Cousins will have all his teammates ready to face his old club. Yeah, AP makes a return to Minny, but, let's be honest here. If one of these guys is taking over this game, its' the guy who has tossed for 10TDs (1int) and nearly 1000 yards the last 3 games. Vikings offense starting to click behind their new line, and their defense is always a stout unit. Should have a fun game vs a revolving QB door set to see another ex Viking player in Case Keenum behind center. Perhaps Colt McCoy or even a forgotten rookie might see action in this short week skirmish. Vikes 19-2-2 ATS last 24 at home vs non-con foes. I doubt we see a repeat of them losing as huge faves as they did to Buffalo last year. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS |

SMU -13.5 v. Houston | | 34-31 |
Loss | -117 | 23 h 4 m | Show |
Taking SMU. Pony Express is back. Look. These guys have visions of being this year's UCF. Undefeated and looking for a New Year's Day Bowl. They aren't crashing the playoffs. And they have a big game on deck vs Memphis. But the Mustangs should be able to take care of Houston. Clear rebuild going on. When your 50 TD QB from last year red-shirts after a couple games, it is a lost season. Maybe if they beat the Sooners to start things off things would be different. But here we are. Houston with a walk on QB, the coaches son to be exact, leading the way tonight. 14 not close to be enough points. They struggled putting up 24 at Connecticut. Out yarded 440 to 290. Got a TO in when Uconn was in their territory - plus a missed FG and turnover on downs at the 2 help. Not getting those breaks vs the Pony's who are putting up 44ppg and over 500 yards of offense good for 7th best in the land. 4* Money Maker SMU MUSTANGS |

Taking the BULLS as a Best Bet to start the season. Like this young Chicago team. A lot of good young guys. Everyone healthy. Charlotte a lot of rebuilding going on. Lose their leader in Kemba. Who is stepping up in a close game? I think Bulls surprise some teams this season. LaVine, Markkannan, Dunn, Porter, Carter Jr. Some solid pieces. 5* Best Bet CHICAGO BULLS |

Taking the RAPTORS. I get it. Normally when teams are raising banners I am backing away as they are over-valued and fat while whoever is playing them wants to knock off the champs. But Pelicans lose #1 pick Zion for some time. I do like the change of scenery for LoBall. The team won't be terrible. Problem is Toronto. I don't know if you heard, but some guy left their team for the Clippers. Look. This team has a chip on their shoulder to prove they weren't all about that guy. They have something to come out and play hard for. That's the difference maker. 4* Money Maker TORONTO RAPTORS |

Patriots v. Jets +10.5 | Top | 33-0 |
Loss | -130 | 179 h 56 m | Show |
Taking the JETS. New Jets team people. I thought at the start of the season, they were a playoff team. Then mono and injuries show up and you have a 3rd stringer in their behind center and the wheels are falling off. Well, Mono-Man is back. The OL is still a concern for me. But I do like the defense. I think with a real NFL QB you make your RB that much better. Everything improves. Jets HC has beaten Pats while in Miami. Always a tough series here. You can't really knock NE. The defense is taking the ball away every game. What I see is Brady throwing some end-zone INTs. Patriots offense is ok, but nothing really special. 5* Best Bet NY JETS |

Taking DALLAS. This is it for Garrett. Guy needs to get this team together. And honestly, judging by the team walking by his open hands, he's in trouble. Eagles in off their own loss getting mauled in Minny. Much tougher losing to a guy who hasn't played since August though. Still think the Dallas offense is superior though. It was seems like a yearly thing since selling their souls to win the Super Bowl, Philly again decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball. I think we see some points tonight, but the Cowboys should win this one by double digits. 4* Money Maker DALLAS COWBOYS |

Saints v. Bears -4 | Top | 36-25 |

Taking the BEARS. Great run by Teddy B with 4 straight wins and the Saints can't be complaining. Guy was decent in Minny, so not exactly a true back up. But, back to back road games tough in the NFL. At Seattle, home vs Dallas and Tampa - road win vs hot Panthers. Bears going to be an angry bunch for sure. Bad loss in London. I don't care who is throwing the ball, Chicago wins with defense. And, we have seen when Teddy and the Saints get a good defense, they struggle. 13-6 last week. 12-10 over Dallas. We have seen Tampa and Seattle give up plenty of points. Bears allowing just 13.8ppg and are on a 17-6-1 ATS run at home last 24 games. 8* Sure Shot CHICAGO BEARS |

Raiders +6 v. Packers | | 24-42 |

Taking the RAIDERS. Raise your hand if you had Oakland with this many wins so far- Now stop lying. You know that nobody though they would be in this position. And yeah, this is a tough position as it is another away game. Next week in Houston and this is over a month on the road for the Raiders. But, they are off a bye and back from London. A game they mauled with their run game. Packers defense not on Chicago's level. I think Carr is a decent QB. When a team is playing with house money, there is no pressure. Pressure now on GB after the refs gifted them a win on MNF. This line was 7 to start and I see 5s now starting to show. 4* Money Maker OAKLAND RAIDERS |

49ers v. Redskins +10 | | 9-0 |
Win | 100 | 63 h 6 m | Show |
Taking the REDSKINS. So, faded both of these teams last week. Had Miami ML and was big on the Rams. Will fade SF laying this hefty number. As I said last week. They are coming in off a short week vs Rams who had lost 2 straight. They are missing 2 starting OL men plus a FB. Their WR corp is average at best. But yet, they won going away. Redskins canned their HC and came out with renewed fire. Expect more of the same. SF HC talking smack about the Redskins will inflame some here, but especially ownership. Bill Callahan taking over is a guy with his own chip on his shoulder. Run out of his HC job as the Raiders after taking team to Super Bowl (vs old HC Gruden). I know it's ugly, but we have to bite. 4* Money Maker WASHINGTON REDSKINS |

Rams v. Falcons +3 | Top | 37-10 |
Loss | -110 | 63 h 1 m | Show |
Taking the FALCONS. Both of these guys in a bit of a free-fall. I think the Dan Quinn era(rror) is going to be coming to an end soon. Granted, the kicking has bit them in the butt, but what a waste of this offensive talent. Rams come in now losers of 3 straight, and have an early start time, while playing Matty Ice at home who has pretty good numbers here. That says all you need to know about the state of the Falcons. Ryan leading the NFC in TD passes and yards. He has a pair of pretty decent wide-outs if you don't know them. Job on the line here for the home team HC. Dog Outright. 5* Best Bet ATLANTA FALCONS |

Taking PENN STATE. I just think this is going to be a beat down. Michigan is done. I think Harbaugh is out of here. White-out game vs these guys? Forget it. Penn State line is going to maul the Wolverines on both sides of the ball. We can beat the Michigan / Harbaugh vs ranked teams thing to death (1-6 on the road). PSU defense clear edge over Michigan. This team is in real trouble. I don't think they score 10 points tonight. 10* Money Bomb PENN STATE |
