10-29-23 | Saints v. Colts +2.5 | 38-27 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 24 m | Show | |
Saints @ Colts 1:00 PM ET Game# 251-252 Play On: Colts +2.5 The Colts have shot themselves in the foot with turnovers in recent games. Otherwise, their offense has been very good over the last 3 contests, and they outgained opponents by 114.0 points per game during that stretch. New Orleans is 2-2 SU on the road, but their 2 wins came over Carolina and New England that have a combined 2-11 record thus far. Give me the Colts plus points. | |||||||
10-28-23 | Air Force -14 v. Colorado State | 30-13 | Win | 100 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
Colorado State @ Air Force 7:00 PM ET Game# 161-162 Play On: Air Force -14.0 Any conference away favorite like Air Force of between 12.0 and 21.0 with a win percentage of .500 or better who’s playing after Game 7 and is coming off a win in which they allowed 31 points or fewer, versus an opponent like Colorado State who has a losing record and is coming off an ATS cover, resulted in those away favorites going 33-4 ATS (89.1%) since 2014. Give me Air Force minus points. | |||||||
10-28-23 | Wyoming +4.5 v. Boise State | Top | 7-32 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 11 m | Show |
Wyoming @ Boise State 5:30 PM ET Game# 163-164 Play On: Wyoming +5.0 Wyoming is a perfect 4-0 ATS as an underdog this season and won 2 of those contests straight up. The Cowboys will be well rested after having their last week off and after a game in which they gave nationally ranked Air Force (7-0) all they can handle in a 34-27 road loss while covering as a 12.5-point underdog. Wyoming is at a +6-turnover differential for the season and hasn’t turned the ball over during each of their previous 3 games. In my professional opinion, Boise State has been overvalued all season due to their winning tradition. This is another prime example of such. The Broncos have really struggled defensively over their previous 4 contests while allowing 31.0 points and 399.0 yards per game. Give me Wyoming plus points. | |||||||
10-28-23 | UL-Lafayette +11.5 v. South Alabama | 33-20 | Win | 100 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
UL-Lafayette @ South Alabama 5:00 PM ET Game# 205-206 Play On: UL-Lafayette +11.0 Any conference away underdog of between 4.5 and 13.5 with a win percentage of .625 or worse like UL-Lafayette, and they’re playing in Games 6 through 9, and they’re coming off a home favorite SU loss by 19 points or fewer, resulted in those away underdogs going 31-1 ATS (96.8%) since 2016.

Virginia @ Miami Fla. 3:30 PM ET Game# 131-132 Play On: Miami -18.5 Miami is coming off an impressive 28-20 win over Clemson. Virginia is coming off a massive 31-27 upset win over undefeated North Carolina and did so as a 24.0-point home underdog. Additionally, it was the 1st win over an FBS opponent by Virginia this season. This creates a rare betting situation that shows teams like Virginia fall from grace extremely quickly in their next game after pulling off a stunner of this magnitude. Any College Football away underdog of between 10.0 and 35.0 that’s playing before Game 12 and is coming off an away underdog of 17.0 or more SU win in which they scored 21 points or greater, versus an opponent like Miami who is coming off a SU win, resulted in those away underdogs going 0-7 ATS since 1987.

Mississippi State @ Auburn 3:30 PM ET Game# 197-198 Play On: Mississippi State +6.5 Mississippi State is coming off a 7-3 upset win at Arkansas in a game they closed as a 7.0-point underdog. That victory improved their season record to 4-3 (.571). The Bulldogs are now 13-9 SU in their last 22 games. Auburn will enter this SEC battle on a 4-game losing streak and their season record is currently 3-4 (.428). Any College Football away underdog of between 1.5 to 7.5 like Mississippi State who’s coming off a conference away underdog SU win, they have a win percentage of .555 or better and won 11 or more of their last 22 games, versus an opponent like Auburn who has a win percentage of .714 or worse, resulted in those road underdogs going 20-0 ATS since 2003.

Houston @ Kansas State 12:00 PM ET Game# 189-190 Play On: Kansas State -17.0 Any College Football home favorite of between 10.5 and 19.5 like Kansas State that’s playing after Game 4 that’s coming off a conference SU win by 7 or more in which they scored 35 points or greater, versus an opponent like Houston coming off a conference SU loss by 7 or less in which they allowed 24 points or greater, resulted in those home favorites going 15-0-1 ATS since 2017.

10-26-23 | Georgia State +1.5 v. Georgia Southern | 27-44 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 55 m | Show | |
Georgia State @ Georgia Southern 7:30 PM ET Game# 113-114 Play On: Georgia State +1.5 Georgia Southern is 5-2 but failed to cover in their last 2 games. Throughout their previous 3 games, the Georgia Southern defense has allowed 32.3 points and 427.0 yards per game. Georgia State enters this contest with a stellar 6-1 record which includes going 3-0 SU&ATS on the road. In a game between 2 seemingly even matched teams, it could simply come down to who wins the turnover battle. Georgia State has committed just 7 turnovers in 7 games this season. Conversely, Georgia Southern has committed 7 during just their 2 last games alone, and has an alarming high 17 giveaways on the season. Georgia State is 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 conference away games when the point-spread was between +6.0 and -6.0. Any College Football team like Georgia State with a point-spread between +8.5 to -8.5 who has a winning record, and they’re coming off a SU underdog win, versus an opponent like Georgia Southern that has a win percentage of .600 to .800, resulted in those teams like Georgia State going a perfect 8-0 SU&ATS since 2019. The average line for those winning teams in that exact situation was -1.8 and they won by an average of 15.6 points per contest. Give me Georgia State. | |||||||
10-22-23 | Dolphins +3 v. Eagles | Top | 17-31 | Loss | -115 | 30 h 50 m | Show |
Dolphins @ Eagles 8:20 PM ET Game# 471-472 Play On: Dolphins +3.0 Both teams enter this much anticipated matchup with stellar 5-1 (.833) records. Nevertheless, Miami was the more impressive of the 2 teams. Philadelphia has outscored their opponents by an average of 5.1 points and outgained them by 97.0 yards per game. Conversely, Miami has outscored opponents by an average of 11.2 points and outgained them by 155.0 yards per game. The Eagles are coming off their first loss of the season as they fell 20-14 on the road last Sunday at the New York Jets. Miami is coming off a 42-21 home win over Carolina. Any non-division away team like Miami with a point-spread of between +3.0 to -3.0 that’s playing after Game 4 and has a win percentage of .500 or better, versus an opponent coming off 2 consecutive away games with the last of which being a SU loss by 6 points or more, resulted in those away teams going 8-0 SU&ATS since 2018. Give me Miami plus points. | |||||||
10-22-23 | Chargers v. Chiefs -5 | 17-31 | Win | 100 | 26 h 56 m | Show | |
Chargers @ Chiefs 4:25 PM ET Game# 467-468 Play On: Chiefs -5.0 The Chargers are coming off a 20-17 home loss to Dallas which dropped their season record to an underachieving 2-3 (.400). The Chargers have lost 3 consecutive games to Kansas City, but all 3 defeats came by 6 points or fewer. However, this is a much better Chiefs defense than the ones they faced in the previous 3 meetings. I’ve heard a lot of chatter this week about Kansas City being an overvalued home favorite in recent years. However, my trusted 4d Handicapping Software Program tells me differently. The Chiefs are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 and 12-7 ATS during their previous 19 as a home favorite. That includes 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS when facing opponents like the Chargers that are coming off a SU loss, and with a decisive average victory margin of 19.0 points per game. The Chiefs have won 5 in a row since an opening night 21-20 home loss to Detroit (5-1). During that stretch, this current win streak, Kansas City’s defense has allowed an average of 13.4 points and 267.2 yards per contest. The Chiefs will also being playing with an additional 3 days rest after defeating Denver 19-8 in a Thursday night game. Any NFL division favorite of -4.5 to -12.5 like Kansas City who’s coming off a division win, versus an opponent like the Chargers who are coming off a SU loss and have a win percentage of between .187 and .428, resulted in those division favorites going 8-0 ATS since 2019. Those teams won those 8 contests by a substantial margin of 16.6 points per game. Give me the Chiefs minus the points. | |||||||
10-22-23 | Browns v. Colts +3.5 | 39-38 | Win | 100 | 23 h 33 m | Show | |
Browns @ Colts 1:00 PM ET Game# 455-456 Play On: Colts +3.5 The Browns are coming off a huge upset win as a home underdog of +9.5 over the previously unbeaten 49ers. They did so while starting their 3rd quarterback (P.J. Wlaker) in 5 games. Although the Cleveland defense has been spectacular, the same can’t be said for their offense. Despite their 3-2 (.600) record, Cleveland is averaging only 19.0 points scored and 319.8 yards gained per game. The Browns have yet to win 2 in a row and are 0-2 SU&ATS following a victory. The Colts are coming off a 37-20 loss at Jacksonville. That margin of victory was deceiving when considering they held a 354-233 totals yards advantage in that contest. They were plagued by a season high 4 offensive turnovers. Despite the defeat, the Colts are still a respectable 3-3 and that includes 2-0 SU&ATS following a loss. Any NFL home team with a win percentage of .333 or better like the Colts that’s playing after Game 5, and they’re coming off a road loss, versus an opponent like the Browns that are coming off an upset SU win as a home underdog of +7.0 or greater, resulted in those home teams going 25-0 SU since 1995. Considering the SU betting angle supports the underdog in this matchup it takes on even added significance. Give me the Colts plus the points. | |||||||
10-21-23 | Colorado State v. UNLV -7 | Top | 23-25 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 28 m | Show |
Colorado State @ UNLV 7:00 PM ET Game# 375-376 Play On: UNLV -7.0 UNLV is coming off a 45-27 win at Mountain West Conference rival Nevada and covered easily as a 7.5-point favorite. Conversely, Colorado State comes off a 31-30 upset win over Boise State as a 7.5-point underdog. UNLV has been red-hot offensively over their last 4 contests while averaging 43.5 points scored and 466.5 yards gained per game. The Rebels are also a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS at home this season with an average victory margin of 19.0 points per game. UNLV also is at an impressive +9 turnover differential while getting off to a stellar 5-1 start to the season. They’ll be facing a 2-3 Colorado State team which has allowed 38.0 points and 485.0 yards per game. The Rams have committed a concerning 11 turnovers through 5 games. Any College Football conference home favorite of 23.0 or less that’s coming off an away favorite ATS win in which they scored 45 points or more, versus an opponent like Colorado State that’s coming off a conference home underdog SU win, resulted in those home favorites going 16-0 SU&ATS since 1981. Give me UNLV minus points. | |||||||

Central Michigan @ Ball State 3:30 PM ET Game# 355-356 Play On: Central Michigan -5.5 Ball State is 0-6 SU this season when facing FBS opponents and were an uninspiring 1-4-1 ATS during those contests. They lost those 6 games by a substantial average of 24.7 points per contest. Central Michigan is coming off a 17-10 home win over Akron. Any college football away favorite of 4.5 to 10.0 like Central Michigan with a winning record that’s coming off a SU win in which they scored and allowed 17 points or fewer, and they’re playing after Game 3, resulted in those away favorites going 14-0 SU&ATS since 2014. The average margin of victory in those 14 contests came by 20.8 points per game. Give me Central Michigan minus points. | |||||||
10-21-23 | Wisconsin v. Illinois +3 | 25-21 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 4 m | Show | |
Wisconsin @ Illinois 3:30 PM ET Game# 365-366 Play On: Illinois +3.0 Wisconsin is coming off a 15-6 home loss to Iowa that dropped their season record to 4-2 (.667). Adding insult to injury was the Wisconsin starting quarterback Tanner Mordecai leaving the game with a broken hand and is out for Saturday’s game. Illinois is coming off a momentum building 27-24 win at Marland and did so as a sizable 13.0-point underdog. Any home pick or underdog of 2.5 or less, versus an opponent win percentage of .600 to .800 that’s coming off a SU loss, resulted in those home teams going 10-0 SU&ATS since 2019. The average margin of victory during those 10 contests came to an average of 7.8 points per game. Give me Illinois plus points. | |||||||
10-21-23 | Minnesota +4 v. Iowa | 12-10 | Win | 100 | 20 h 3 m | Show | |
Minnesota @ Iowa 3:30 PM ET Game# 369-370 Play On: Minnesota +4.0 This qualifies as the fishiest line of the week. When that occurs, I almost always go against what seemingly is the obvious choice. Iowa is coming off a 15-6 upset win at Wisconsin. However, the Hawkeyes offense struggled once again while racking up just 237 yards of total offense of which 82 of those came on a 2nd quarter touchdown run. So basically, taking away that long jaunt the Hawkeyes amassed a mere 155 yards on 61 offensive plays with comes to a pathetic average of 2.5 yards gained per play. Minnesota is just 3-3 yet are just a 3.5-point underdog against the #24 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes who are 6-1. It must be noted that 2 of the Golden Gophers 3 losses came at the hands of #2 Michigan (7-0) and #10 North Carolina (6-0). If it loos too good to be true in sports betting more times than not it is. This is one of those times. Give me Minnesota plus points. | |||||||
10-21-23 | Penn State v. Ohio State -4.5 | 12-20 | Win | 100 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
Penn State @ Ohio State 12:00 PM ET Game# 325-326 Play On: Ohio State -4.5 Both teams will enter this contest with identical 6-0 records. Public sports bettors have overwhelmingly sided with the underdog Penn State Nittany Lions thus far. Yet, the line has jumped from 4.0 to 5.0 which surely indicates a sharp money move. Ohio State has won the last 6 times they faced Penn State while winning by an average of 8.0 points per game. Any college football home favorite of 7.0 or less that has a win percentage of .833 or better that’s playing before Game 9 like Ohio State, and they’re coming off a win by 9 points or more, versus an opponent like Penn State with a win percentage of .800 or better, resulted in those home favorites going 15-0 SU&ATS since 2019. The average victory margin came by 11.7 points per game. Give me Ohio State minus points. | |||||||
10-19-23 | Jaguars +2 v. Saints | 31-24 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
Jaguars @ Saints 8:15 PM ET Game# 311-312 Play On: Jaguars +2.0 Much of the storyline for NFL bettors leading up to this game hinges on the availability of Jacksonville starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence who is listed as questionable with a knee injury. However, you cans do a lot worse than C.J. Beathard as your backup quarterback. Beathard proved in his time in San Francisco that he can temporarily step in and give his team a chance to win. During his last season with the 49ers in 2020, he appeared in 6 games and tossed 6 touchdown passes versus 0 interceptions. The Jaguars enter this contest riding a 3-game win streak. Jacksonville is 3-0 SU&ATS this season in neutral site and road games with a 10.3 point per game differential. Jacksonville is also a noteworthy +7 this season in the turnover differential category. They’ll be facing a Saints team that began the season 2-0 and has lost 3 of 4 since. The Saints rely heavily on their stellar defense because their offense has left much to be desired. Since 2021, the Saints are an uninspiring 7-10 SU and 5-12 ATS at home. Any NFL away team like Jacksonville with a point-spread of +2.5 to -3.0 and has a win percentage of .500 or better, versus an opponent like New Orleans who played their previous 2 games on the road, and that opponent is playing in Games 5 through 9, resulted in the away teams going 14-0 SU&ATS since 2019. The average margin of victory in those contests came by a substantial margin of 14.3 points per game. Give me the Jaguars plus points. | |||||||
10-15-23 | Lions v. Bucs +3.5 | Top | 20-6 | Loss | -115 | 25 h 6 m | Show |
Lions @ Buccaneers 4:25 PM ET Game# 267-268 Play On: Buccaneers +3.5 The Lions certainly received their fair share of preseason hype and thus far have lived up to expectations by going 4-1. However, Tampa Bay has quietly flown under the radar with a 3-1 record with their lone defeat coming at the hands of defending NFC champion Philadelphia. The Bus are coming off their bye week and a convincing 26-9 win at New Orleans in their previous game. Throughout their first 4 games the Bucs are a +7 in turnover differential while the Lions are only +1 during their first 5 contests. I look for that to be a key factor in us getting the cover. NFL home teams like Tampa Bay that are coming off an underdog SU win and both teams in the contest have win percentages of .750 or better, resulted in those home teams going 26-6 SU (85%) and 23-8-1 ATS since 1983. If the home team was an underdog of between 2.0 and 4.0, they went 7-0 SU&ATS and won by an average of 13.7 points per game. Give me the Buccaneers plus points. | |||||||
10-14-23 | Missouri +2.5 v. Kentucky | 38-21 | Win | 100 | 24 h 41 m | Show | |
Missouri @ Kentucky 7:30 PM ET Game# 137-138 Play On: Missouri +2.5 Kentucky went into last week’s matchup with #1 Georgia with high hopes. After all, they were undefeated and looked impressive while doing so. Nevertheless, they were thoroughly exposed in a 51-13 defeat and allowed Georgia to amass 6608 total yards and average a whopping 8.3 yards per offensive play. They’ll have their hands full again when facing a Missouri offense that’s averaging 37.0 points scored and 533.7 yards per game. The Tigers are also averaging a superb 7.8 yards per offensive play that speaks to their big play ability. Missouri’s defense can be vulnerable at times, but Kentucky lacks the potent passing game that can make them pay. During their 3 SEC contests, Kentucky has averaged a mere 134.0 yards passing per game and completed just 45.3% of their aerial attempts. Give me Missouri plus points. | |||||||

Wyoming @ Air Force 3:30 PM ET Game# 181-182 Play On: Air Force -11.0 Wyoming is coming off a home 24-19 upset win over then #24 Fresno State last week which improved their season record to 5-1. Despite that stellar record, Wyoming is outgained by an average of 49.5 yards per game. That indicates to me they’re not as good as their record indicates. Air Force is 5-0 and coming off a bye week. Their last game was a 49-10 blowout win over San Diego State. Air Force has dominated the opposition in those 5 wins while outgaining them by 187.6 yards and outscoring them by 25.4 points per game. The Falcons will be out for revenge stemming from a 17-14 loss at Wyoming last season. The Falcons are 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 as a home favorite of 9.5 to 21.0 and with an average victory margin of 29.4 points per game. Give me Air Force minus the points. | |||||||

Iowa @ Wisconsin 4:00 PM ET Game# 201-202 Play On: Wisconsin -9.0 Wisconsin is coming off last week’s 24-13 home win over Rutgers that improved their season record to 4-1. That outcome also put them on a 3-game win streak in which they had a +7 turnover margin differential. Iowa is 5-1 but not nearly as good as their record indicates, and especially so on the offensive side of the ball where they average just 21.8 points and 250.5 yards per contest. Wisconsin will be seeking revenge stemming for a 24-10 loss at Iowa a year ago. The Hawkeyes are coming of a 20-14 win over Purdue. Comparatively, Wisconsin was a 38-17 blowout winner at Purdue earlier this season. Give me Wisconsin minus points. | |||||||
10-14-23 | Texas A&M v. Tennessee -3 | 13-20 | Win | 100 | 21 h 13 m | Show | |
Texas A&M vs. Tennessee 3:30 PM ET Game# 131-132 Play On: Tennessee -3.0 For starters, Tennessee will enter this game in Knoxville on Saturday riding a 13-game home win streak which saw them also go an extremely profitable 9-2 ATS when facing FBS opponents. Furthermore, Tennessee is 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 as a home favorite of 28.0 or less and with a substantial average victory margin of 33.6 points per game. Conversely, Texas A&M has lost 7 consecutive true road games and failed to cover on 6 of those occasions. Tennessee will also have the luxury of coming off a bye week. Compared to Texas A&M who lost a hard-fought battle with Alabama that saw them fall short in a 28-22 defeat. Rest and emotional edge favors Tennessee. Give me Tennessee minus points. | |||||||
10-14-23 | BYU v. TCU -4.5 | 11-44 | Win | 100 | 21 h 12 m | Show | |
BYU @ TCU 3:30 PM ET Game# 197-198 Play On: TCU -4.5 Despite TCU being a mediocre 3-3, they find themselves as a touchdown favorite at home for this Saturday’s game versus a BYU team which is 4-1. There’s some deception when looking inside each team’s number as it relates to their records. BYU is at an average of -38.4 yards per game but still managed to win 4 of 5. Conversely, TCU is at an average of +104.3 points per game which indicates they’re better than just a 3-3 team. The Horned Frogs are coming off a disappointing 27-14 loss at Iowa State in a game they closed as a 6.0-point favorite. They were plagued by a -4-turnover differential in that contest. Since being torched by Colorado in their season opener, the TCU defense has steadily improved to the point where they’re allowing only 17.4 points and 326.2 yards per game over their previous 5 contests. Any College Football home favorite of 3.0 to 10.5 like TCU that’s playing before Game 8 of the season and they’re coming off a away favorite SU loss by 16 points or fewer in which they scored 29 or less, resulted in those home favorites going 14-0 ATS since 2019. The average victory margin during those 14 contests came by a decisive margin of 18.9 points per game. Give me TCU minus points. | |||||||
10-13-23 | Fresno State v. Utah State +4.5 | 37-32 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 55 m | Show | |
Fresno State @ Utah State 8:00 PM ET Game# 179-180 Play On: Utah State +4.5 Fresno State is coming off a 24-19 loss at Wyoming last seek to drop their season record to 5-1. However, that 5-1 record is a bit deceiving since they barely escaped with a 34-31 home win over an FCS team in Eastern Washington, and their other 4 wins came over opponents (Purdue, Kent State, Nevada, Arizona State) who are a combined 2-18 SU this season versus FBS opponents. Utah State is coming off back-to-back wins to improve their season record to 3-3. Additionally, Utah State has now gone 16-12 in their last 28 at home which comes into play with our betting angle applied to this pick. During their previous 3 contests, the Aggies averaged 38.7 points scored and 518.3 yards of total offense per game. During that identical stretch, the Utah State defense forced 11 turnovers which is terrific. Last Saturday they were a convincing 44-24 home winner over Colorado State and did so as a closing 3.0-point underdog. Any College Football home team like Utah State with a win percentage of .700 or worse that’s playing between Games 5 through 9, and they’re coming off a home underdog SU win by 14 points or greater, and they’ve won 15 or more of their last 28 at home, versus an opponent like Fresno State coming off a SU loss by 5 points or more, resulted in those home teams going 14-0 SU&ATS since 1992. The average margin of victory in those 14 contests came by a decisive margin of 23.5 points per game. Give me Utah State plus points. | |||||||
10-12-23 | Broncos v. Chiefs -10 | 8-19 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Broncos @ Chiefs 8:15 PM ET Game# 111-112 Play On: Chiefs -10.0 The weather won’t be ideal in Kansas City on Thursday night with the forecast calling for a 62% chance of rain and winds of 22 to 25 MPH. The Chiefs unequivocally have the better defense and quarterback in this matchup. I look for that to be a huge factor in us attaining the cover when considering the expected weather conditions. Teams tend to lean more heavily on their running games in situations such as these. Denver has been atrocious versus the run over their last 4 contests while allowing 251.7 yards per game and an alarmingly high 7.1 yards per attempt. Conversely, the Chiefs are allowing only 16.0 points and 301.4 yards per game throughout a 4-1 start to the season which includes a current 4-game unbeaten streak. During this current win streak, the Chiefs defense is allowing only 14.7 points and 284.8 yards per game. Additionally, since 2021 Kansas City is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS at home when on a 4-game or more win streak and they outscored those 6 opponents by an average of 17.3 points per game. | |||||||

Liberty @ Jacksonville State 7:30 PM ET Game# 105-106 Play On: Jacksonville State +7.0 This is an attractive Conference USA matchup that pits the 6-0 Liberty Flames against the 5-1 Jacksonville State Gamecocks. The home underdog Gamecocks are 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 games with a massive +10 turnover differential. Furthermore, Jacksonville State is 3-0 SU&ATS at home this season while allowing only a combined 17 points. Any College Football home underdog of 3.0 to 7.5 (Jacksonville State) that’s playing after Game 3 with a win percentage of .800 or better, and they’re coming off a conference SU win, versus an opponent (Liberty) with a winning record and coming off a SU win, resulted in those home underdogs going 16-1 ATS (94.1%) since 2018. The home underdogs also went 15-2 SU in those 17 situations as well. Give me Jacksonville State plus points. | |||||||
10-08-23 | Cowboys +4 v. 49ers | Top | 10-42 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 12 m | Show |
Cowboys @ 49ers 8:20 PM ET Game# 473-474 Play On: Cowboys +4.0 Since 12/20/2020, Dallas has gone 5-0 SU&ATS as a regular season underdog of +3.0 to +5.5. The Cowboys even averaged 28.0 points scored per game during those upset wins. Dallas will also be playing with big time revenge after being eliminated in the playoffs by San Francisco in each of the last 2 years. The Cowboys are coming off an impressive 38-3 home win over the New England Patriots. The 49ers have begun the season 4-0 and scored 30 points or more on each occasion. Any NFL away team like Dallas that’s coming off a win by 21 points or more in which they scored between 34 and 46 points, versus an opponent coming off 2 straight games in which they scored 30 points or more, resulted in those away teams going 8-0 SU&ATS since 2013. The average margin of victory during those 8 contests came by 10.0 points per game. Give me the Cowboys plus the points. | |||||||
10-08-23 | Eagles v. Rams +4 | 23-14 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 55 m | Show | |
Eagles @ Rams 4:05 PM ET Game# 467-468 Play On: Rams +4.0 The Eagles enter Week 5 with a perfect 4-0 record. However, they really own just 1 impressive win which came at Tampa Bay. Their other 3 wins came over Minnesota (1-3), New England (1-3), and Washington (2-3) by a combined 14 points. Conversely, the Rams are 2-2 and their lone defeats came by a combined 10 points. Los Angeles is also 3-0 ATS since the start of last season as a home underdog of 2.5 to 6.5-points and won 2 of those 3 contests SU. Any home underdog of 2.0 or greater with a win percentage of .461 or better that’s coming off an an away favorite ATS win in which they covered by 13.0 or less, versus an opponent like the Eagles with a win percentage of .733 or better, resulted in those home underdogs like the Rams going 15-0-1 ATS since 1986. Those home underdogs also won 1 of those 16 games straight up. The average line for those home underdogs was +3.9 and they outscored the favorites by an average of 4.9 points per game. Give me the Rams plus the points. | |||||||

Bengals @ Cardinals 4:05 PM ET Game# 465-466 Play On: Cardinals +3.5 The Bengals are the biggest early season disappointment thus far. They’re 1-3 and the lone win was a narrow 19-16 decision at home versus the Rams. Cincinnati has been completely listless in their 2 road games thus far while losing 24-3 versus Cleveland and 27-3 at Tennessee last Sunday. As a matter of fact, Cincinnati is averaging just 12.3 points scored and 236.0 yards of total offense per game thus far. Arizona is 1-3 thus far but covered 3 of those 4 contests. During their previous 3 games Joshua Dobbs and the Cardinals offense has shown encouraging signs while averaging 24.0 points and 380.3 total yards per contest. They also didn’t commit any turnovers in those 3 contests. | |||||||
10-07-23 | Oregon State v. California +9.5 | 52-40 | Loss | -105 | 57 h 52 m | Show | |
Oregon State @ California 10:00 PM ET Game# 381-382 Play On: California +9.5 I’m predicting a flat spot here for #15 Oregon State. They’re coming off 2 extremely tough games versus #13 Washington State and #18 Utah. Now they’re about to face an unranked California team that’s just 3-2 and has been irrelevant on the national landscape or even PAC-1 picture2 for quite a long time. However, Cal has forced 13 turnovers in their first 5 games and look for them to cause a few more on Saturday in what I’m forecasting as a mentally and emotional vulnerable spot for the visiting Beavers. The Bears offense is capable of having a productive game in this spot considering they amassed 502 yards of total offense versus #7 Washington just 2 weeks ago. The Bears are coming off a 24-21 home win over Arizona State last week. Cal has also won 3 of their last 4 at home versus Oregon State. Any conference home underdog of 2.5 to 11.5 like California that’s coming off a home win by 3 points or less, and they’re playing before Game 7 of the season, resulted in those home underdogs going 17-1 ATS since 2009. The home underdogs also won 12 of those 18 games SU. Give me California plus points. | |||||||
10-07-23 | Alabama v. Texas A&M +1.5 | Top | 26-20 | Loss | -110 | 50 h 16 m | Show |
Alabama @ Texas A&M 3:30 PM ET Game# 393-394 Play On: Texas A&M +1.5 Both teams come into this key SEC matchup with identical 4-1 records. Texas A&M is coming off last week's 34-22 neutral site win over Arkansas. Since losing at Miami, Texas A&M has gone 3-0 SU&ATS and outgained their 3 opponents (UL-Monroe, Auburn, Arkansas) by an average of 259 yards per game. The Alabama offense has been far from explosive over their previous 3 games while average just 342.0 yards per contest which is well below their standards, they’ve established under head coach Nick Saban. Since 2020, conference home teams after Game 4 that are coming off a conference win in which they scored 27 points or more, and they possess a win percentage of .800 or better, versus an opponent with a win percentage of .800 or better, resulted in those home teams going 27-3 SU and 23-7 ATS. The SU results take on added significance in this case since it supports the underdog Texas A&M Aggies. | |||||||
10-07-23 | Washington State v. UCLA -3 | 17-25 | Win | 100 | 50 h 47 m | Show | |
Washington State @ UCLA 3:00 PM ET Game# 379-380 Play On: UCLA -3.0 Washington State is 4-0, coming off a bye week, but comes up as a road underdog versus an unranked UCLA team. Speaking of the Bruins, they’re coming off their first loss of the season at Utah 14-7. They lost that contest despite holding the UTES to just 219 yards of total offense. Speaking of the UCLA defense, they’ve held opponents to 11.0 points and 263.8 yards per game during their 3-1 start. Even more impressive is they’ve held their first 4 opponents to a paltry average of 3.8 yards per play. Washington State is coming off 3 consecutive home game and an emotional 38-35 win over #15 Oregon State (5-1). Give me UCLA minus points. | |||||||
10-07-23 | LSU -4.5 v. Missouri | 49-39 | Win | 100 | 47 h 48 m | Show | |
LSU @ Missouri 12:00 PM ET Game# 357-358 Play On: LSU -4.5 We have a 2-loss team in LSU (3-2) that’s a road favorite versus nationally ranked and undefeated Missouri (5-0). Yet, it’s LSU that comes up favorite in this spot. As a result, it comes as no surprise to me that public betting has heavily sides with the home underdog Missouri Tigers. If I said it once then I’ll say it a million times. When it comes to betting situations such as these think like oddsmakers because they’re not in the business of being generous to sports bettors. Additionally, Missouri won’t be able to stop LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and the explosive LSU passing game which has amassed 320 yards or more through the air in each of their 5 games played this season. Daniels has thrown for 16 touchdowns versus 2 interceptions and is averaging 342.0 yards passing per game. He’s also rushed for 292 yards and 3 touchdowns as well. Conversely, Missouri has allowed 281.7 yards passing per game over their last 3 contests. Give me LSU minus points. | |||||||
10-06-23 | Nebraska +3.5 v. Illinois | 20-7 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Nebraska @ Illinois 8:00 PM ET Game# 317-318 Play On: Nebraska +3.5 Nebraska has rushed for 209 yards per game and averaged a healthy 5.5 yards per attempt. The Cornhuskers have also been adept at stopping the run as opponents are averaging only 2.9 yards per attempt against them. On the other hand, Illinois has allowed 164 yards or more rushing in 4 of 5 games this season. Illinois committed 11 turnovers in their first 4 games. After turning the ball over 4 times in each of their first 2 games, Nebraska has somewhat rid themselves of the turnover bugaboo and committed just 2 giveaways over their previous 3 games. Nebraska is coming off a 45-7 home loss to #2 ranked Michigan which dropped their season record to 2-3. Illinois enters this contest with an identical 2-3 season record. This sets a 100% College Football betting angle. Any College Football conference away underdog of between 2.0 to 5.5 that’s playing in Games 4 through 10 who is coming off a home loss by 18 points or more, and both teams in the matchup have losing records, resulted in those conference away underdogs with that specific point-spread parameter going 13-0 SU&ATS since 2016. The average margin of victory in those 13 contests came by 8.1 points per game. Give me Nebraska plus points. | |||||||

Cardinals @ 49ers 4:25 PM ET Game# 275-276 Play On: 49ers -13.5 These are water I very rarely swim in which is laying a double-digit number when it comes to NFL betting. However, there’s an exception to every rule and this one qualifies under that heading. The oddsmakers seem undeterred that the Cardinals (1-2) are coming off an impressive 28-16 win over Dallas in a game they closed as an 11.5-point home underdog and considering their 2 losses came by just a combined 7 points. However, they’ll be facing a beat on Sunday in San Francisco who’s 3-0 and outscored their opponents by a cumulative score of 90-42. Any NFL home favorite of 11.5 or greater Like San Francisco that’s facing an opponent coming off a home underdog of 4.0 or more SU win, resulted in those home favorites going a perfect 15-0 SU&ATS since 2002. The average victory margin in those 15 contests came by an average of 24.6 points per game. Give me the 49ers minus points. | |||||||
09-30-23 | Kansas v. Texas -16 | 14-40 | Win | 100 | 22 h 34 m | Show | |
Kansas @ Texas 3:30 PM ET Game# 211-212 Play On: Texas -16.0 I had Kansas last Saturday as my Game of the Week and they won and covered 31-20 as a 9.5-point home favorite over BYU. However, I was extremely fortunate for a few reasons. I was the beneficiary of not 1 but 2 defensive touchdowns by the Jayhawks. I was also able to cover despite BYU quarterback Kedon Slovis throwing for 357 yards. Unfortunately for Kansas, they’ll be facing a far stronger opponent this week in #3 Texas (4-0). Even with #24 Kansas (4-0) being unbeaten and nationally ranked themselves, they find themselves as a substantial double-digit underdog. This appears to me to be a trap where the underdog is a very attractive option. However, I’m electing to go with a contrarian mindset in this one. By the way, if you are worried about Texas playing archrival and unbeaten Oklahoma next, then don’t be. Texas has gone 2-0 SUU&ATS the last 2 seasons in the game before facing the Sooners while covering as a favorite on each occasion. This is also a far better Texas team than those past 2 versions were. It’s also worth noting, Texas has scored 50 points or more in their last 3 games versus Kansas. Give me Texas minus points. | |||||||

Baylor @ UCF 3:30 PM ET Game# 135-136 Play On: UCF -10.5 Emotions will be high on Saturday afternoon in Orlando as Central Florida hosts their first ever Big 12 Conference game. The Golden Knights will also be out to atone for a disappointing 44-31 loss at Kansas State last week in a game they allowed 536 yards. UCF has an explosive offense which averages 38.3 points scored and 565.0 yards per game. The Golden Knights will be in a prime spot to make an impression against a Baylor team that’s 0-3 this season versus FBS opponents and allowed 440.3 yards per game. Any College Football favorite of 10.0 to 21.0-points like UCF that allowed 478 yards or more in their previous game, and they average 44o yards or more of total offense per game, versus an opponent like Baylor that allows 440.0 or more yards per contest, resulted in those home favorites going 45-17 ATS (72.6%) since 2014 and 16-4 ATS (80%) since 2017. Give me UCF minus points. | |||||||

Illinois @ Purdue 3:30 PM ET Game# 181-182 Play On: Purdue +1.0 Illinois is 2-2 but they’ve been far from impressive. Granted their losses have come versus national ranked team in Penn State by 17 and Kansas by 11. However, they escaped with home wins of 30-28 versus Toledo and 23-17 over Florida Atlantic. Purdue is 1-3 including 0-3 at home. However, they killed themselves with a combined 7 turnovers in double-digit loss to Syracuse (4-0) and Wisconsin (3-1). They had no trouble moving the ball in those defeats while amassing 396 yards of total offense versus Wisconsin and 403 against Syracuse. The good news is they’ll be facing an Illinois team that’s a turnover differential of -6 in their first 4 games and their defense is allowing 423.3 yards per contest. This is a very winnable game for the Boilermakers and especially so at home. Give me Purdue. | |||||||

Utah @ Oregon State 9:00 PM ET Game# 117-118 Play On: Oregon State -3.5 Oregon State is coming off a 38-35 at #16 Washington State in a game they closed as a 3.0-point favorite. The loss dropped the #19 ranked Beavers season record to 3-1. It doesn’t get any easier this week versus #10 Utah (4-0). The Beavers are 18-10 SU in their last 28 at home. However, Oregon State is 14-1 in their previous 15 at home. That includes 5-0 SU&ATS as a conference favorite with an average victory margin of 19.8 points per game. Any college football conference home favorite of 14.5 or less Like Oregon State that’s playing in Game 3 through 10 and they’re coming off a conference favorite SU loss in which they scored 35 points or fewer, and they won 24 or fewer of their last 28 at home, versus an opponent with a win percentage of .362 or better, resulted in those conference home favorites going 15-0 SU&ATS since 2019.

Eagles @ Buccaneers 7:15 PM ET Game# 477-478 Play On: Buccaneers +5.0 Both teams are off to 2-0 starts. However, I’ve been more impressed with Tampa Bay so far considering the low expectation level compared to the defending NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles defeated New England 25-20 and Minnesota 34-28. Thos teams are a combined 0-4 to start the season. Yet, the Eagles defense allowed 300 yards or more passing in both wins. The Eagles have also been beneficiaries of 6 turnovers committed by those opponents. Conversely, Tampa Bay didn’t commit a turnover during their 2-0 start while forcing its opponents into 5 giveaways. Tampa is coming off a 27-17 home win over the Bears in which quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 317 yards. Any NFL Game 3 home underdog that won each of their first 2 games, and their previous win came by 11 points or fewer, resulted in those home underdogs going 9-0 ATS since 2006. The underdogs also won 8 of those 9 games straight up. Additionally, NFL Monday Night home underdogs of between 2.0 to 5.5-points that are coming off a SU&ATS win and are playing in the first 4 games of the season, resulted in those home underdogs going 6-0 SU&ATS since 2006. The average margin of victory during those 6 contests came by 11.8 points per game. Give me the Buccaneers as my NFL Top Play of the Week. | |||||||

The Titans are coming off last Sunday’s 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers in a game they closed as a 2.5-point home underdog. Any NFL non-division home favorite of between 2.5 to 12.5 points that’s coming off a division away favorite SU loss, and they’re facing an opponent that’s coming off a home underdog SU win, resulted in those home favorites going 12-0 SU&ATS since 1986.

Ohio State @ Notre Dame 7:30 PM ET Game# 423-424 Play On: Notre Dame +3.5 Notre Dame will be playing with revenge stemming from last season’s 21-10 loss at Ohio State. This time around they’re playing at home and with a huge difference in their quality of starting quarterback Sam Hartman compared to what they had under center a season ago. During Notre Dame’s 4-0 start, Hartman completed 71.1% of his passes for 1061 yards and 13 touchdowns and 0 interceptions while also running for 2 scores as well. Notre Dame is 36-3 SU in their last 39 at home and that includes 3-0 SU&ATS as an underdog of 2.5 or greater. Additionally, Notre Dame is 10-1 SU&ATS in their last 11 at home with a point-spread parameter of -9.5 to +5.5. Any non-conference College Football undefeated home underdog of between 2.5 to 5.5 that’s coming off 4 or more consecutive SU wins, and their previous game was versus a non-conference opponent, versus an opponent like Ohio State that’s coming off a SU win, resulted in those home underdogs going 9-0 SU&ATS since 1993 and with an average victory margin of 9.3 points per game.

Both teams enter this matchup with a perfect 3-0 record. Washington State has won their last 4 meetings versus Oregon State when playing at home. Any conference undefeated home team which is +3.0 to -3.0 like Washington State who’s playing after Game 3 of their season, and they allowed 33 points or fewer in their previous contest, versus an undefeated opponent like Oregon State coming off a win by 7-points or more, resulted in those home teams going 17-3 ATS (85%) since 2010. Those home teams were also 16-4 SU during those contests. Any College Football home underdog of +3.0 to +6.0 with a win percentage of .800 or better like Washington State, and they’re playing after Game 3 of their season, and they’re coming off 2 or more wins in a row with the last of which coming by 15 points or more, versus an opponent like Oregon State who has a win percentage of .750 or better, resulted in those home underdogs with those point-spread parameters going 12-0 ATS and 11-1 SU since 2014.

Colorado @ Oregon 3:30 PM ET Game# 371-372 Play On: Oregon -21.0 Colorado has been a nice story since Deion Sanders took over as head coach while guiding them to a terrific 3-0 start and #19 national ranking. The Buffaloes biggest weakness right now is their defense which has surrendered 35 points and 499 yards to Colorado State and 42 points and 541 yards to TCU but still managed to win both contests. On a positive note the Buffaloes defense has forced 7 turnovers in their 3 wins. The bad news, Oregon has yet to commit a turnover this season and averages 58.0 points and 587 totals yards per game. Even with their 3-0 record, Colorado is only +19.7 yards per game while the 3-0 Ducks are +301.7 yards per contest. Granted Colorado has played the much tougher schedule thus far, but their stop unit will be hard pressed to stop quarterback Bo Nix and the explosive Oregon offense.

BYU @ Kansas 3:30 PM ET Game# 343-344 Play On: Kansas -9.5 BYU (3-0) was able to pull off a 38-31 upset win at Arkansas last week as an 8.0-point underdog despite being outgained 424-281. During their only other game versus an FBS opponent that were listless in a 14-0 home win versus Sam Houston State and they were only able to amass a mere 257 yards in that contest. Kansas (3-0) is coming off a flat sport last week in which they won 34-27 at Nevada but didn’t come close to covering as a 28.5-point favorite. However, I’m willing to pass since that game began at 9:30 PM ET Central Time and they were facing what was perceived to be a terrible Nevada team, and their Big 12 opener was up next versus BYU. I look for the Jayhawks to bounce back in a big way at home on Saturday. Any College Football conference home favorite of 19.0 or less that’s coming off a SU win by 7 points or more in which they failed to cover as a favorite, and they possess a season win percentage of .800 or better, versus an opponent with a win percentage of .800 or better and they’re coming off a SU win, resulted in those home favorites going 13-0 SU&ATS since 2016.

Auburn @ Texas A&M 12:00 PM ET Game# 407-408 Play On: Texas A&M -8.0 Auburn is 3-0 but keep in mind that their 3 wins came over California, Massachusetts, and Samford. Furthermore, they were extremely lucky in the 14-10 win at California due to the Golden Bears missing 3 field goals and Auburn accumulating just 230 yards of total offense. Furthermore, Auburn committed an alarmingly high 7 turnover through their 3 games played. Additionally, since 2021, Auburn is 0-6 ATS off 2 consecutive wins and was outscored by an average of 11.3 points per game. Texas A&M is 2-1 with their only loss coming at #20 Miami 48-33. The Aggies have scored 33 points or more in each of their 3 games this season. Since 2018, Texas A&M is 4-0 SU&ATS as a home favorite of 4.5 to 11.0 following a SU win and with an average victory margin of 16.5 points per game. Give me Texas A&M minus points. | |||||||

Boise State is 1-2 but their losses came at #8 Washington and by 2 at home to a very good Central Florida team. The Aztecs have played the more difficult schedule thus far but the oddsmakers were undeterred by that factor and Boise State opened as a touchdown road favorite. I trust the oddsmakers ability to set an accurate line more so than any other source. Any College Football conference away favorite of between and 3.5 to 9.0-points versus an opponent like San Diego State that’s coming off back-to-back losses in which they scored 10 points or fewer on each occasion, and they have at least 1 win on the season, resulted in those conference away favorites going 19-0 SU&ATS since 2013.

Giants @ 49ers 8:15 PM ET Game# 301-302 Play On: Giants +10.0 The Giants are coming off a thrilling 31-28 win at Arizona this past Sunday in which they overcame a lete 3rd quarter 28-7 deficit. Unfortunately, their star running back Saquon Barkley was hurt on their winning drive and is listed as doubtful. It must be noted, the Giants elected to stay on the west coast which is a great idea considering the short turnaround of playing their 2nd game in 5 days. Despite the injury of Barkley, and all the other factors stacking up against the Giants, we haven’t seen hardly if any line movement since the Sunday night opening odds were released. Since Brian Daboll took over as head coach of the Giants, his team has gone a very profitable 6-2 ATS as an underdog when coming off a SU win. The 49ers will be playing in their home opener after starting the season with 2 road wins. However, since 2005, NFL teams playing their home opener in Game 3 of the season, and they’re a favorite of 4.5 or greater, resulted in those home favorite going 5-15 ATS. Since 2019, away teams playing in either Game 2 or Game 3 who are coming off a road contest in which they scored 16 points or more, and they won 4 or more games the year before, resulted in those away teams going 20-2 ATS since 2019. Those away teams also went 18-3-1 SU in those contests as well. Give me the Giants plus the points. | |||||||

New England is coming off a 25-20 home loss to Philadelphia in a game they failed to cover as a 4.0-point underdog. That makes New England 0-6 SU&ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog of 6.5 or less, and they were outscored by an average of 11.5 points per contest. Miami is 4-1 SU and 5-0 in their last 5 versus Miami. Their only SU loss occurred in last season regular season finale 23-21 at New England. That was a game that Miami’s 3rd string quarterback started due to Tua and Teddy Bridgewater being injured. Since 2018, NFL away teams playing in a Game 2 like Miami who’s coming off an away win in their season opener, resulted in those teams going 7-0 SU&ATS. The average margin of victory in those 7 contests came by an average of 12.4 points per game. Give me the Dolphins minus points. | |||||||

Jets @ Dallas 4:25 PM ET Game# 283-284 Play On: Cowboys -8.0 Dallas is coming off a 40-0 blowout road win over the Giants last Sunday night in a game their defense was dominant. The Jets defense will keep them in a game for a while. However, they’ll eventually wear down due to their offense not being able to sustain drives with any consistency. Any NFL non-division home favorite of 8.0 to 16.0-points like Dallas that’s coming off a division away favorite ATS cover in which they scored 33 points or more, and they’re facing an opponent like the Jets who scored 24 points or fewer in their previous game, resulted in those teams going 8-0 SU&ATS since 2004. The average margin of victory in those 8 contests came by a massive 25.6 points per game. Give me Dallas minus points. | |||||||
09-17-23 | Packers +2.5 v. Falcons | 24-25 | Win | 100 | 25 h 14 m | Show | |
Packers @ Falcons 1:00 PM ET Game# 265-266 Play On: Packers +2.5 Green Bay is coming off a convincing 38-20 win in their season opener at Chicago. Atlanta won their season opener with a 24-10 home win over Carolina which was more the result of facing a rookie quarterback and lousy opponent more than anything else. As a matter of fact, Atlanta was only able to muster 221 yards of total offense and was beneficiaries of a turnover margin of +3. Additionally, their defense allowed 154 yards rushing to the Panthers. Look for Green Bay running backs Aaron Jones and Corey Dillon to have big days and that will pave the way for us to cash a winning ticket. Since 2019, NFL non-division away teams like the Packers who are +3.0 to -3.0 coming off an away game, and they’re playing in Games 2 through 4 of regular season action, resulted in those teams going 13-1-3 (93%) ATS and 15-2 SU. Give me the Packers. | |||||||
09-16-23 | Fresno State -3 v. Arizona State | 29-0 | Win | 100 | 50 h 11 m | Show | |
Fresno State at Arizona State 10:30 PM ET Game# 209-210 Play On: Fresno State -3.0 Fresno State went on the road in their season opener and came away with an impressive 39-35 upset win over Purdue. That result certainly wasn’t a fluke when considering the Bulldogs outgained their Big 10 opponent in total yards by a wide margin of 487-363. Now they’ll be facing another Power 5 Conference team on the road this week as they’ll take on Arizona State. Sandwiched between those 2 games was last week’s home opener versus Eastern Washington in which they escaped with a 34-31 win despite being a massive 30.0-point favorite. With all considered, I’ll give them a pass for being flat in that contest. They’ll be facing an Arizona State team that’s coming off a 27-15 home loss to Oklahoma State in a game they were held to a mere 277 yards of total offense and failed to cover as a 2.5-point underdog. The Sun Devils opened the season with an uninspiring 24-21 home win over Southern Utah who’s an FCS team and were nearly upset as a 34.5-point favorite. Give me Fresno State as a point-spread favorite. Since 2011, road teams like Fresno State in Game 2 through 6 that are coming off a home game in which both teams scored 31 points or more, and they’re +3.0 to -3.0 on the point-spread, versus an opponent like Arizona State that’s coming off an underdog ATS loss, resulted in those road teams going 9-0 SU&ATS. The average margin of victory in those 9 contests came by an average of 13.7 points per game. Give me Fresno State as a point spread favorite. | |||||||
09-16-23 | South Alabama +7.5 v. Oklahoma State | 33-7 | Win | 100 | 47 h 43 m | Show | |
South Alabama @ Oklahoma State 7:00 PM ET Game# 159-160 Play On: South Alabama +7.5 This certainly seems like a fishy line to me. We have a Power 5 Conference school in Oklahoma State that’s 2-0 as just a touchdown favorite at home versus a 1-1 South Alabama team from the Sun Belt Conference. The truth of the matter is South Alabama is a highly experienced team that won 10 games a season ago. They ran into a buzzsaw in their season opening loss at Tulane in a game they were derailed by committing 5 turnovers. Oklahoma State opened the season with a listless 27-13 home win versus Central Arkansas who plays at the FCS level in a game they allowed their opponent to rack up 391 yards of total offense. I wouldn’t be shocked to get the outright upset in this one, but we won’t get greedy and take the points as an additional bonus. Give me South Alabama as a point-spread underdog. | |||||||
09-16-23 | Tennessee v. Florida +6.5 | Top | 16-29 | Win | 100 | 47 h 22 m | Show |
Tennessee @ Florida 7:00 PM ET Game# 175-176 Play On: Florida +6.5 Since 2016, Tennessee is just 3-6 ATS as an SEC road favorite. Conversely, since 2018, Florida is 4-0 ATS as an SEC home underdog and won 3 of those contests SU. Their only SU loss in that sequence was a narrow 31-29 defeat as a 14.0-point underdog versus Alabama. The Gators have won 9 consecutive home games versus Tennessee. Their last home loss to the Volunteers came way back in 2003. We can’t ignore that domination when considering Florida is a touchdown home underdog on Saturday. They’ll also be out to revenge a 38-33 loss at Tennessee last season in a game they covered as an 11.0-point underdog. The Gators dropped their season opener 24-11 at #12 Utah in a contest they outgained the Utes 346-270. Florida bounced back during last Saturday’s home opener with a 49-7 win over McNeese State and outgained their outclassed opponent in total yards by a decisive margin of 560-112. College Football home underdogs of 3.5 to 10.0-points like Florida who outgained their opponent by 175 yards or more in their previous game, resulted in those home underdogs within that poiont-spread parameter going 33-6 ATS (84.6%) since 2019. The average line for the underdogs in those contests was +5.8 and they went 26-13 SU as well. Give me Florida plus points. | |||||||
09-16-23 | Iowa State v. Ohio +3 | 7-10 | Win | 100 | 40 h 46 m | Show | |
Iowa State @ Ohio 12:00 PM ET Game# 125-126 Play On: Ohio +3.0 We have a Big 12 team like Iowa State as just na 3.0-point road favorite versus a Mid America Conference team. If it looks too good to be true when it comes to sports betting, then most of the time it is. This is a textbook example of such in my eyes. Iowa State has been borderline anemic offensively through their first 2 games. I’ll give them a pass in last week’s 20-13 loss at Iowa in which they amassed just 290 yards of offense against a Hawkeye defense which is among the best in college football during recent seasons. However, in their season opening 30-9 home win over Northern Iowa who plays at the FCS level they had a mere 250 yards of total offense. The Cyclones will be up against an Ohio Bobcats defense which has allowed only 13.3 points and 233.3 yards per game throughout their first 3 games. Ohio star quarterback Kurtis Rourke returned to the line in last week’s 17-10 upset win at FAU. Rourke was knocked out of the game during 1st half action in their season opening 20-13 loss at San Diego State. The Bobcats backup quarterback tossed 3 interceptions in that contest which ultimately cost Ohio the game. Since the start of last season Rourke has thrown 26 touchdown passes versus only 4 interceptions and passed for over 3500 yards. Give me Ohio plus points. | |||||||
09-15-23 | Army +9 v. UTSA | 37-29 | Win | 100 | 47 h 24 m | Show | |
Army @ UTSA 7:00 PM ET Game# 111-112 Play On: Army +9.0 UTSA was somewhat disappointing in their first 2 games. They began the season with a 17-14 loss at Houston in a game they closed as a 2.5-point favorite. That’s the same Houston team that was upset at Rice last week. They followed that up with another listless performance by defeating Texas State 20-13 at home but failed to cover as a 14.0-point favorite. They outgained both those opponents by a combined 789-551 in total yards. However, they turned the ball over 4 times and failed to force a turnover in either contest. Army will be playing with revenge stemming from a 41-38 home loss to UTSA last season. The Black Knights dropped their season opener 17-13 at UL-Monroe in a game they were plagued by 5 turnovers in a contest they closed as an 8.5-point favorite. They bounced back with a convincing 57-0 home win last week over Delaware State who plays at the FCS level. The Black Knights offense has been run heavy for quite some time now as they run the triple option. However, they’ve shown a willingness to throw the ball in the first 2 games while amassing 27 pass attempts and gained 345 yards in the air. As a matter of fact, Army had an extremely uncharacteristically high 304 yards passing in their loss to UTSA last season. Any non-conference away underdog of 3.0 to 10.0-points who’s not coming off a bye week like Army that’s playing with revenge and coming off a SU win by 4 points or more, versus an opponent like UTSA coming off a win in which they failed to cover, resulted in those away underdogs going 13-0-1 ATS since 1995. They also won 10 of those 14 games straight up. Give me Army plus the points. | |||||||

Vikings @ Eagles 8:15 PM ET Game# 103-104 Play On: Vikings +6.5 The Eagles walked away with a 25-20 win at New England last Sunday in a game they probably didn’t deserve to win. They also covered that contest as a 4.0-point favorite to boot. New England outgained Philadelphia in total yards by a decisive margin of 382-251. The Eagles nearly squandered an early 16-0 lead and ultimately the difference came down to a pick-6 thrown by Mac Jones in the 1st quarter. Conversely, the Vikings lost their season opener at home to Tampa Bay 20-17 in a contest by all rights they should’ve have won if not for a turnover margin of -3. Minnesota outgained Tampa Bay in total yards by a wide margin of 369-242. The Vikings will be playing with revenge stemming from a 24-7 loss at Philadelphia in ironically enough Week 2 of last season. Look for the Vikings to be not so unlucky this week and Philadelphia not as fortunate as each team was in Week 1. Any NFL away underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 like Minnesota is that’s coming off a home favorite SU loss by 5 points or fewer, versus an opponent coming off an away favorite ATS win in which they covered by 1.0-point or more, resulted in those away underdogs going a perfect 11-0 ATS and a compelling 10-1 SU since 1990. Give me the Vikings plus the points. | |||||||

Cowboys @ Giants 8:20 PM ET Game# 479-480 Play On: Giants +3.5 Giants head coach Brian Daboll did a terrific job last season in his first year on the job. The Giants wre 9-7-1 in regular season action and made the playoffs as a NFC Wildcard team. They then went on the road and beat a 13-4 Minnesota team 31-24 before being eliminated by defending NFC champion Philadelphia the following week. Yes, the Giants lost both regular season matchups versus Dallas last season. However, both were one score games. By the way, during Daboll’s first year as head coach in New York the Giants were a terrific 7-1 ATS as an underdog of 5.5 or less and they won 6 of those 8 contests straight up. Since 2011, any NFL Game 1 division home underdog of between 2.5 and 5.5 like the Giants are, resulted in those home underdogs going 11-0 ATS and 9-1-1 SU. Give me the Giants plus points. | |||||||

Dolphins @ Chargers 4:25 PM ET Game# 473-474 Play On: Chargers -3.0 I think the Chargers are one of the biggest sleepers in an otherwise loaded AFC heading into the season. They possess high quality offensive skilled possession players and a defense that will be vastly improved. The Chargers have gone 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 season openers. Since 2021, Miami is 2-6 ATS and 1-7 SU on the road when there’s a total of 45.5 or greater. Any NFL Game 1 home team with a point-spread ranging from 0.0 to -5.0 that won 10 games or more the season before, and they’re facing an opponent like Miami that won 8 or more games the season before, resulted in those home teams withing that point-spread parameter going 31-14 ATS (68.8%) since 1989. Those home teams also went 35-10 SU in those contests as well. Give me the Chargers minus points for my NFL Week 1 Top Play. | |||||||

Since 2009, Game 1 NFL division home underdogs of 5.5 or less like Cleveland, and they won 3 games or more in the previous season, resulted in those season opener division home underdogs going 16-2 ATS, and they won 15 of those 18 contests straight up.

49ers @ Steelers 1:00 PM ET Game# 465-466 Play On: Steelers +3.0 Under head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers are just 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS in season openers. That includes 0-2 SU&ATS as a favorite of 7.0 or less. As a matter of fact, San Francisco dropped their season opener last season while suffering a 19-10 loss at Chicago in a game they close as a 6.5-point favorite, and versus a Bears team that finished the 2022-2023 season 3-14. Pittsburgh is 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 season openers under current head coach Mike Tomlin. Pittsburgh is also 6-0 SU&ATS in their last 6 at home when there was a total of 37.0 or greater and their point-spread was +2.5 to -2.5. Since 2009, Game 1 NFL division home underdogs of 5.5 or less like Pittsburgh, and they won 3 games or more in the previous season, resulted in those season opener division home underdogs going 16-2 ATS, and they won 15 of those 18 contests straight up.

Carolina is 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at Atlanta as an underdog of 3.0 or greater while losing by an average of 11.2 points per game. Any NFL division home favorite of 4.0 or less that’s playing in their opening game that won 7 games or more during the previous season, and there’s a total of 42.5 or less, versus an opponent like Atlanta that won 6 or more games the year before, resulted in those divisional home favorites going 17-1 ATS (94.4%).

Wisconsin @ Washington State 7:30 PM ET Game# 325-326 Play On: Washington State +6.0 Washington State is coming off a 50-24 win at Colorado State and covered easily as an 8.5-point favorite. On the other hand, Wisconsin is coming off a 38-17 home win over Buffalo in their season opener last Saturday. The Badgers failed to cover as a 27.5-point favorite in a game they led just 14-10 at the half. Home teams coming off a straight up win by 49 points or less in which they scored 50 points or more like Washington State, and they’re facing a team like Wisconsin who is coming off a win by 17 points or more, resulted in those home teams going 25-1 ATS (96%). Those home teams also went 23-3 SU as well. Considering this betting angle backs the home team that’s the underdog, then the SU results take on even added significance.

Oregon is coming off an 81-7 blowout win over an FCS team in Portland State. Any home underdog of 1.5 to 7.0-points like Texas Tech that’s coming off an away favorite of 10.0 or greater SU loss, and their playing in Games 2 through 9, versus an opponent like Oregon that’s coming off a win by 9 points or more, resulted in those home underdogs going 13-0 ATS since 1987.

Clemson @ Duke 8:00 PM ET Game# 235-236 Play On: Duke +13.0 Let’s get the obvious out of the way. Yes, Clemson is superior athletically and has more overall team speed than Duke. They annually have one of the top recruiting classes in the country and has produced a plethora of NFL players during head coach’s Dabo Swinney’s tenure which hasn’t been the case at Duke. Okay, now let’s move on to just this game and who will cover the spread. Duke enjoyed a 9-4 season under 1st year head coach Mike Elko in 2022. The year was capped off with a convincing 30-13 win over UCF in a bowl game. The Blue Devils 4 losses all came by 8 points or fewer. Furthermore, 3 of those 4 defeats came by 3 points or less. Duke is only 13-15 in their last 28 at home but was 5-1 last season. Duke returns 18 starters from last year’s successful team including star quarterback Riley Leonard. The junior was outstanding last season while throwing 2967 yards and 20 touchdowns versus 6 picks. Leonard also rushed for 699 yards and 13 touchdowns as well. Look for Leonard to be a key cog in us getting the cover. Any College Football Game 1 home underdog of 4.0 to 16.5-points like Duke that won 8 or more regular season games the year before, and has won 9 or more of their last 28 at home, resulted in those home underdogs going 10-0 ATS since 2010. The underdogs also won 7 of those 10 games straight up. Giver me Duke plus the points. | |||||||

South Alabama @ Tulane 8:00 PM ET Game# 219-220 Play On: South Alabama +6.5 Soth Alabama finished the 2022 regular season with an impressive 10-2 record. Their lone defeats came by just a combined 5 points. The Jaguars were 5-1 SU on the road with their lone loss coming a at UCLA 32-31 in a contest they closed as a 15.5-point underdog. They return 18 starters from that team. Tulane had a storybook 12-2 season and AAC Championship. Additionally, that magical season concluded with a 45-28 win over UCF in their conference championship game, and a stunning New Year’s Day Bowl thrilling win over traditional college football powerhouse USC. Yet here we are 8 months later, and they’re just a touchdown favorite in their season opener at home versus a Sun Belt Conference team. They’re begging you to lay the points at home with the Green Wave. Tulane lost some very key personnel on both sides of the ball that heavily contributed to an extremely successful season. I going with a contrarian approach in this one, and it wouldn’t shock me in the least if the underdog pulls off an outright upset. However, I won’t get greedy and take South Alabama plus points. | |||||||
08-31-23 | Florida v. Utah -6 | 11-24 | Win | 100 | 71 h 29 m | Show | |
Florida @ Utah 8:00 PM ET Game# 147-148 Play On: Utah -6.0 Utah was upset in their season opener a year ago by Florida in a game that went into the very late stages of the 4th quarter before a winner was finally decided. However, all you need to do is look at the Florida Gators regular season over/under win total of 5.5. When doing so, it tells you what the sharpest minds in sports betting, which are oddsmakers, think of Florida’s chances of even reaching a in a bowl game this year, let alone beating a Top 10 caliber team in their season opener. Utah has gone 22-1 SU and 16-7 ATS in their last 23 home games. Furthermore, since 10/17/2015, the Utes are a perfect 11-0 SU&ATS as a home favorite while playing with revenge. The average line during those 11 situations was 11.5 and the Utes outscored their opponents by an average of 18.6 points per game. If the worst-case scenario is Rising being ruled out at gametime, I still like the Utes even at this current number. Otherwise, if Rising is available, this line will move much closer or match the opening number of 9.5. Either way, give me Utah minus points. | |||||||

Ohio @ San Diego State 7:00 PM ET Game# 307-308 Play On: Ohio +2.5 This line jumped right off the page at me when it first came out. Ohio as a short road favorite versus a Mountain West football program with a fine winning tradition. However, upon further review, this is an Ohio team that went 10-4 last season, reached the MAC Championship Game, and beat another Mountain West Conference team in a bowl game by way of a 30-27 win over Wyoming. They finished the season on a 8-1 winning run. Ohio returns 9 starters on offense including quarterback Kurtis Rourke and 1,000-yard rusher Sieh Bangura. Rourke was the MAC Offensive Player of the Year a season ago that was cut short by an ACL injury in Game 11 at Ball State. However, Rourke still threw for 3256 yards with 25 touchdown passes versus only 4 interceptions. He also ran for 249 yards and 4 touchdowns as well. Since 9/23/17, Ohio has gone 6-0 SU&ATS as an underdog of 3.0 or less and won by an average of 15.8 points per game. Give me Ohio plus points. | |||||||
01-22-23 | Bengals v. Bills -5.5 | Top | 27-10 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 4 m | Show |
Cincinnati @ Buffalo 3:00 PM ET Game# 315-316 Play On: Buffalo -5.5 (10*) The Cincinnati Bengals have been a betting darling right now and are on a 9-game win streak. However, since the start of the 2011 NFL season, teams that are an underdog of 3.0 or greater that have won 8 of more games in a row have gone 0-7-1 ATS. The Bengals offensive line will be without 2 and possibly 3 starters on Sunday. Cincinnati was very fortunate to escape with a 24-17 home win over Baltimore in the Wildcard Round. They were outgained in that contest by a substantial margin 364-234 yards. If not for a game changing 98-yard fumble return with 10 minutes left with the game tied at 17, the Bengals were in line for a shocking early postseason exit. Buffalo’s 34-31 win over Miami was extremely deceiving. The Bills outgained the Dolphins in that contest by a massive margin 423-231 yards. The Dolphins were afforded short fields by way of 2 interception returns and a punt return. Miami also scored a defensive touchdown on a strip sack fumble return. Buffalo has been a highly scrutinized team despite their 14-3 season record which includes a current 8-game win streak. As a matter of fact, they’re 3 losses came by just a combined 3-points. Yet, because of the preseason hype which publicized them as a favorite to win the Super Bowl, the Bills have been labeled by many as an overrated team. Under current head coach Sean McDermott, the Bills are a perfect 4-0 in home playoff games, and cover on both occasions that they were a favorite of 6.0 or less while winning by a enormous average of 22.0 points per game. NFL Playoff home favorites of 9.0 or less like Buffalo who are coming off a home favorite SU win in which they failed to cover, and there’s a total of 40.0 or greater, versus an opponent like Cincinnati who has a win percentage of .777 or worse, resulted in those postseason home favorites going 5-0 SU&ATS since 1990. The average victory margin in those 5 contests came by an average of 20.0 points per game, and they covered those outings by an average of 16.1 points per occurrence. Give me Buffalo minus the points. | |||||||
01-21-23 | Giants +8 v. Eagles | 7-38 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 5 m | Show | |
New York @ Philadelphia 8:15 PM ET Game#303-304 Play On: Giants +8.0 (5*) The Giants are an extremely profitable 8-1 ATS in neutral site and away games this season. They also won 5 of those 9 contests straight up. That includes 6-1 ATS and 5-2 SU as underdogs of 9.5 or less, and if their opponent had a win percentage of .583 or better, New York improved to 4-0 ATS and 3-1 SU. The Giants have committed just 1 turnover over their previous 3 games. Philadelphia has forced 1 turnover or less in each of its last 6 games. NFL underdogs of between 3.5 to 10 like the Giants who committed 1 turnover of fewer in each of their last 3 games, versus an opponent like the Eagles who has forced 1 turnover or fewer in each of their last 2, resulted in those underdogs going 37-8 ATS (82.2%) during the last 5 seasons. That includes an ever better 18-3 ATS over the previous 3 seasons. Give me the Giants plus the points. | |||||||

Dallas @ Tampa Bay 8:15 PM ET Game# 151-152 Play On: Tampa Bay +2.5 (10*) The Cowboys have gone 0-3 SU&ATS this season as an away favorite of 7.5 or less and when facing an opponent who has a losing record. Dallas allowed an alarmingly high 32.3 points per game in those losses. Dallas had a stellar regular season record of 12-5 (.705). However, NFL Postseason away favorites of 2.5 or less who have a win percentage of worse than .722 are 0-10 ATS and 2-8 SU since 1980. Dallas has an average line difference of +3.94 points per game. Conversely, Tampa Bay is at -6.08 points per game. The Bucks enter the postseason with an uninspiring 8-9 (.471) record. Dallas has gone just 15-17 in their last 32 away games. This sets up a powerful never lost NFL Playoffs betting angle which is displayed below that goes against conventional NFL point-spread handicapping wisdom. NFL Playoffs home teams like Tampa Bay who have a win percentage of .625 or worse and their average line difference per game is -0.1 or worse, versus an opponent like Dallas who’s won 16 or fewer of its last 32 away games and their average line difference per game is +0.5 or better, resulted in those home teams going 14-0 SU&ATS since 1992. The home teams won those 14 postseason contests by an average of 16.0 points per game. Give me Tampa Bay plus the points. | |||||||
01-15-23 | Dolphins v. Bills -13.5 | 31-34 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 36 m | Show | |
Buffalo @ Miami 1:00 PM ET Game# 145-146 Play On: Buffalo -13.5 (5*) Buffalo enters this Wildcard Round on a 7-game win streak. As a matter of fact, the Bills have a season record of 13-3, and those trio of defeats came only by a combined 8 points. With a little bit of luck, we could be talking about an NFL team having an undefeated regular season for a first time since New England did it in 2007. In any event, 1 of those 3 losses came at Miami in a game the Bills outgained the Dolphins by a massive 285 yards. Buffalo won the rematch at home 32-29 and racked up another 446 yards of total offense. This time around, Miami will be missing Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback and most likely will start 3rd stringer Skylar Thompson. Buffalo possesses a strong home field having gone 24-8 in their last 32 played in Orchard Park and that includes 3-0 during postseason action. The last 2 of which were victories by scores of 17-3 over Baltimore and 47-17 against New England. Miami limps into the post season with an uninspiring 9-8 record and that includes going 1-5 in their last 6. This will be Miami’s first playoff game since 1/8/2017 when they lost at Pittsburgh 30-12. Conversely, since that last Miami postseason appearances, Buffalo has played in 12 playoff games and all under current head coach Sean McDermott. Don’t undervalue postseason experience when handicapping at this time of year, and a huge advantage Buffalo. Since 1995, NFL Playoffs 1st Round home favorites of 10.5 or more like Buffalo who have won 24 or more of its last 32 at home, versus an opponent like Miami with a win percentage of .647 or worse, resulted in those double-digit home favorites going 13-0 SU&ATS since 1995. The average victory margin for those 13 contests came by an average of 19.0 points per game. Give me Buffalo minus the points. | |||||||
01-14-23 | Chargers v. Jaguars +2.5 | 30-31 | Win | 100 | 21 h 16 m | Show | |
LA Chargers at Jacksonville 8:15 PM ET Game# 143-144 Play On: Jacksonville +2.5 (5*) The Chargers closed the regular season with a 31-28 loss at Denver. They allowed an anemic Denver offense to rack up 471 yards of total offense. The Chargers faced Jacksonville at home earlier this season (9/25) and got hammered 38-14 as a 6.5-point favorite. Jacksonville was revived from the dead after a 4-8 start to the season and finished regular season action on a 5-game win streak. The last of those wins coming in a 20-16 home win over Tennessee and enabled them to win the AFC South Division with a pedestrian 9-8 record. However, momentum is a scary thing for opponents going up against it on the road in the postseason. What’s been extremely encouraging has been the Jaguars defense over its last 3 games. During that stretch they allowed a mere 7.3 points and 272.0 yards per game. Putting that into proper perspective, the Jags held their opponents to 13.3 points and 81.3 yards below their season average which is a sign of a unit jelling at the right time. By, the way, Jacksonville won their last 4 at home with 3 of those coming as underdogs. One more note, the jaguars Doug Pederson has gone 14-4 ATS in his NFL head coaching career as a home underdog, and his teams outscored their opponents by an average of 8.3 points per game. NFL teams like Jacksonville that are facing an opponent like the Chargers who are playing with same season revenge stemming from a defeat in which they scored 14 points or fewer, and those oppponents are coming off a road loss, resulted in teams like the Jaguars going 40-13 (75.5%) SU over the previous 5 seasons. Give me Jacksonville plus the small number. | |||||||
01-08-23 | Lions v. Packers -4.5 | Top | 20-16 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 16 m | Show |
Detroit @ Green Bay 1:00 PM ET Game# 459-460 Play On: Green Bay -4.5 (10*) Detroit does come in having gone a red-hot 7-2 SU and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games. However, their defense has horrible against the run over the last 2 games while allowing a combined 520 yards rushing and a massive 8.0 yards per attempt. They will be up against it again against a the superb running back due of Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon. Let’s start with the regular season home record of Green Bay. Since the beginning of the NFL 2019-2020 season, the Packers have gone an outstanding 27-4 SU (.871) and 21-10 ATS (68%) in regular season home games. Furthermore, Green Bay is 6-0 SU&ATS in their last 6 NFC North Division home games. The average line in those games was -9.4 and they won by 19.5 points per contest. Green Bay will be playing with revenge from an earlier season 15-9 loss at Detroit in a game they outgained the Lions by a decisive 135 yards, and only to be victimized by 3 Aaron Rogers interceptions. That’s highly unlikely to occur again. Green Bay enters this regular season finale having gone 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 and in a position to guarantee an NFC Wildcard Playoff spot with a win over their division rival. Any NFL home favorite of 7.0 or less like Green Bay that’s playing in their final regular season finale, and they’ve won 4 or more games in a row, and they covered their previous contest against a division foe while doing so by 7.0 points or more, resulted in those home favorites of 7.0 or less going 6-0 SU&ATS since 1986. The average point spread in those 6 contests was 5.0 and there was an substantial average victory margin of 23.2 points per game. Give me Green Bay minus the points. | |||||||

NY Jets @ Miami 1:00 PM ET Game# 455-456 Play On: Miami -3.0 (5*) Any NFL favorite of 3.0 or more like Miami that has a win percentage of less than .750, versus an opponent like the Jets who is coming off SU favorite losses in each of their previous 2 games, and they possess a win percentage of ..400 to .490, resulted in those teams going 14-0 SU&ATS since 2009. The average margin of victory in those 14 wins came by 16.0 points per game. Give me Miami minus the points. | |||||||
01-08-23 | Panthers v. Saints -3.5 | 10-7 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 8 m | Show | |
Carolina @ New Orleans 1:00 PM ET Game# 475-476 Play On: New Orleans -3.5 (5*) I can’t help but think that Carolina will be mentally spent after what transpired last week. They were presented with an excellent opportunity to steal an NFL South Division Title when it seemed unfathomable to think after firing their head coach and trading away its best player earlier this season. We’re talking about a Panthers team that started the season 1-5 and was still a terrible 2-7 through 9 games. However, in a must win game last week at Tampa Bay and their division title hopes handing in the balance, Carolina sustained a heartbreaking 30-24 loss and we eliminated from contention. That’s a tough emotional obstacle to overcome when playing in a regular season finale just 7 days later, and do so on the road to boot. Despite now being 6-10, Carolina has gone a miserable 1-6 on the road. Additionally, since 2020 Carolina is 1-10 SU and 2-9 ATS when coming off a loss by 6 points or fewer, and that worsens to 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS if those were away games. New Orleans is finishing the year strong despite being eliminated from realistic playoff aspiration a long while ago. The Saint enter Week 18 riding a 3-game win streak in which they allowed a mere 12.7 points and 294.0 yards per contest. Ride the season ending momentum with the Saints. Give me New Orleans minus the points. | |||||||
01-02-23 | Utah +1.5 v. Penn State | 21-35 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Utah vs. Penn State 5:00 PM ET Game# 283-284 Play On: Utah +1.5 (5*) Penn State ended the regular season on a 4-game win streak to improve its record to 10-2 (.833). However, in their 2 marquee games this season they lost to Michigan 41-17 and at home to Ohio State 44-31. The Nittany Lions allowed a combined 1015 yards in those defeats. They’ll be facing a Utah team in the Rose Bowl that’s one of just a handful of college football squads that can match or exceed their physicality. Since Kyle Whittingham took over as head coach Utah, the Utes have gone 11-4 SU and 10-5 ATS in either bowl games of Conference Championship contests. That includes 9-0 ATS and 8-1 SU if their point-spread was -2.5 to +9.5 in those postseason games. Utah is coming off USC 47-24 as a 2.5-point underdog in the PAC-12 Championship Game that improved their season record 10-3 (.769). College Football teams like Utah who have a point-spread parameter of +2.5 to -2.5 +2.5 and are playing after Game 10 with a win percentage of .857 or less, and they’re coming off a SU underdog win by 7 points or greater in which they scored 35 points or more, versus opponents like Penn State that have a win percentage of better than .600, resulted in those teams going 12-0 SU&ATS since 2001. Give me Utah over Penn State. | |||||||
01-02-23 | Tulane +2.5 v. USC | 46-45 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Tulane vs. USC 1:00 PM ET Game# 279-280 Play On: Tulane +2.5 (5*) This line jumped right off the screen at me when it first came out. We have mighty USC who blew a sure College Football Playoff invite when they fell to Utah in the PAC-12 Championship Game. Now they’re less than a field goal favorite with little to no line movement off the opener while facing Tulane from a Group-Of-5 Conference (AAC). The totality of those previous 3 sentences speaks volumes to me. As a result, and just like I expected public perception will be askew when assessing who to take in this game. The consensus obvious choice would be USC and especially for those looking through a narrow lens. The Green Wave are for real. They defeated Big 12 champion Kansas State on the road earlier this season. That’s the same Kansas State that beat TCU (13-1) in their Conference Championship Game. By the way, TCU will be playing Georgia for College Football National Championship Game on January 9th. Enough said, give me Tulane plus the small number. | |||||||
01-01-23 | Rams +6.5 v. Chargers | 10-31 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 28 m | Show | |
Rams @ Chargers 4:25 PM ET Game# 129-130 Play On: Rams +6.5 (5*) Don’t expect the 5-10 Rams to lay down in this game just because their playoff hopes were put to rest for few weeks now. All you need to do in look at their 51-14 home win over Denver last week. Granted, the Chargers are a much better team than the Broncos. However, we are a sizable underdog in a game in which both teams share the same stadium. Nonetheless, the Rams are the designated road team on Sunday. NFL regular away underdogs of 4.0 to 8.5 with a win percentage of .625 or worse like the Rams who are playing after Game 14, and they’re coming off a home win, resulted in those away underdogs of 4.0 to 8.5 going 18-0 ATS since 2014. Those underdogs also went a very respectable 9-9 SU in those contests. Give me the Rams plus the points. | |||||||
01-01-23 | Vikings v. Packers -3 | Top | 17-41 | Win | 100 | 27 h 46 m | Show |
Vikings @ Packers 4:25 PM ET Game# 127-128 Play On: Packers -3.0 (10*) The Packers will have a high degree of urgency and desperation with their playoff chances hanging in the balance. Since the beginning of the 2019-2020 NFL season, Green Bay has gone 26-4 SU (86.7%) and 20-10 (67%) during their regular season home games. During that exact time span, Green Bay was 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS in NFC North Division home games. Additionally, and since the 2019-2020 NFL season began, Minnesota has gone 1-6 SU&ATS when they were a pick’em/underdog of 3.0 or less. They’ve also gone 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 in that exact role and lost by an average of 13.0 points per game. They had 2 such instances this year which resulted a 24-7 loss at Philadelphia and 34-23 defat at Detroit. NFL regular season home favorites of 3.0 or greater like the Packers who are playing after Game 14 and are coming off a win, and they possess a losing record, versus an opponent like Minnesota that has a win percentage of .571 or better, resulted in those home favorites going 7-0 ATS since 1983. The average victory margin in those 7 contests came by 13.0 points per game. Give me Green Bay minus the points. | |||||||
01-01-23 | Dolphins +3 v. Patriots | 21-23 | Win | 100 | 21 h 4 m | Show | |
Dolphins @ Patriots 4:25 PM ET Game# 117-118 Play On: Dolphins +3.0 (5*) I firmly believe there’s been too much emphasis on Tua being out for this huge AFC East battle with playoff implications. The Dolphins backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has started and played in some big games when a member of the Minnesota Vikings. Miami is coming off a 26-20 loss to Green Bay in a game they were a 3.5-point home favorite. Conversely, New England was handed a 22-18 loss by Cincinnati and failed to cover as a 3.0-point home underdog. That dropped the Patriots season record to 7-8. NFL division road underdogs like Miami that are coming off a home favorite SU loss, versus an opponent like New England that has a losing record and is coming off a home underdog ATS loss, resulted in those road underdogs going a perfect 8-0 SU&ATS since 1980. The underdogs not only covered in all those contests, but they won each one outright and by an average of 7.2 points per game. Give me the Dolphins plus the points. | |||||||
12-31-22 | Ohio State +6 v. Georgia | 41-42 | Win | 100 | 24 h 13 m | Show | |
Ohio State vs. Georgia 8:00 PM ET Game# 273-274 Play On: Ohio State +6.0 (10*) Fresh in the minds of many is Ohio State’s embarrassing home blowout loss to Michigan. The Buckeyes allowed 45 points and 542 yards in that defeat. Despite that poor defensive showing, the Buckeyes defense still allows just 19.3 points and 304.1 yards per game. The Georgia defense has been an elite unit for the past 2 seasons. However, LSU may have exposed a weakness in Georgia’s pass defense during the SEC Championship Game. LSU Tigers was able to rack up 502 passing yards in a loss. On the other hand, Ohio State has averaged 44.5 points and 492.8 yards per game this season. Because of those last 2 points, we have a puncher’s chance with the underdog Buckeyes explosive offense. Give me Ohio State plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. | |||||||
12-31-22 | Kansas State +7 v. Alabama | 20-45 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 18 m | Show | |
Kansas State vs. Alabama 12:00 PM ET Game# 271-272 Play On: Kansas State +7.0 (5*) Kansas State enters this Sugar Bowl matchup with mighty Alabama on an extremely high level of confidence. The Wildcats went 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 including an upset of then undefeated TCU in the Big 12 Conference Championship game. Now they get to take on the current biggest brand name in College Football. Kansas State has been terrific offensively throughout their previous 7 contests while averaging 38.7 points scored and 442.3 yards gained per game. They’ll be facing a Crimson Tide defense which looked a bit vulnerable in their final 3 regular season games versus LSU, Ole Miss, and Auburn. During that stretch, Alabama allowed a mere mortal 27.7 points and 388.3 yards per game. Here's a key element in which I believe why Kansas State will at the very least keep this game close throughout. The Wildcats have an outstanding turnover margin of +14 this season. Conversely, Alabama comes in at a -4. Here’s another, Kansas State’s emotional edge over Alabama. Nick Saban has built this program to the standard that anything less than a national championship isn’t acceptable. Let alone what occurred this season where they failed to reach both the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoffs. Kansas State on the other hand, will be extremely excited for this opportunity in a major bowl game and expecting to win. Give me Kansas State plus the points. | |||||||
12-29-22 | Oklahoma v. Florida State -9.5 | 32-35 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Oklahoma vs. Florida State 5:30 PM ET Game# 255-256 Play On: Florida State -9.5 (5*) Oklahoma enters the bowl season with a disappointing 6-6 record under 1st year head coach Brett Venables. The Sooners were 1-6 SU and 0-7 this season in games they allowed 14 points or greater. They’ll be facing a Florida State team that hasn’t scored 14 points or fewer in any game this season. Furthermore, Oklahoma has allowed 38 points or more in 6 of its last 9 and 400 yards or greater in 8 of its previous 9 games. Florida State is on a path of returning to the glory days in year 3 of head coach Mike Norvell’s tenure. The Seminoles finished regular season action with a stellar 9-3 record. Furthermore, they went 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS over their last 5 games. During this current winning streak, the Seminoles averaged 43.6 points scored and 490.6 yards per game. Florida State is also 3-0 SU&ATS this season versus non-conference FBS opponents. The Seminoles defense isn’t too shabby as well. They’re allowing just 19.7 points and 308.0 yards per game. Florida State won’t beat themselves, evidenced by them committing only 12 turnovers this season. Give me Florida State minus the points. | |||||||

Texas Tech vs. Ole Miss 2:00 PM ET Game# 251-252 Play On: Texas Tech +3.5 (5*) These teams enter the bowl season on opposite sides of the momentum meter. Texas Tech finished its regular season schedule by going 3-0 SU&ATS to end up 7-5. On the other hand, after beginning the season 7-0 and being ranked in the Top 10, Ole Miss lost 4 of its last 5, and includes a current 3-game losing streak. Despite Ole Miss coming from the powerful SEC, Texas Tech has played a slightly tougher schedule according to the metrics I use to determine that matchup element. Give me Texas Tech plus the points. | |||||||
12-28-22 | Central Florida v. Duke -3 | 13-30 | Win | 100 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
UCF vs. Duke 2:00 PM ET Game# 245-246 Play On: Duke -3.0 (5*) Duke won 4 of their last 5 to finish its regular season slate 8-4. All 4 of the Blue Devils losses came by 8 points or fewer. As a matter of fact, their previous 3 defeats came by a combined 8 points. Unlike most teams this bowl season including UCF, Duke’s roster has remained intact with regards to transfer portal losses or players opting out for the 2023 NFL draft. During that 4-1 stretch to finish the regular season, Duke allowed a mere 90.6 yards rushing per game. That's not good news for UCF since they went 0-3 SU&ATS this season when rushing for less than 160 yards in a game and lost by 14.7 yards per contest. Another key element is Duke averages 33:00 in time of possession per game and is effectively balanced offensively. Lastly, Duke doesn’t beat themselves. The Blue Devils have committed 10 turnovers all season and are a +14 in turnover margin. Give me Duke minus the points. | |||||||
12-27-22 | East Carolina -7 v. Coastal Carolina | 53-29 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
East Carolina vs. Coastal Carolina 6:45 PM ET Game# 241-242 Play On: East Carolina -7.0 (5*) East Carolina has gone 6 consecutive games without committing a turnover. As a matter of fact, that had 0 turnovers in 8 of 12 games this season. After starting the season 9-1, Coastal Carolina lost it’s last 2 to Troy 45-26 and James Madison 47-7. Conversely, Coastal Carolina committed 6 turnovers in their last 3 games alone which is 1 less than East Carolina had all season. Coastal Carolina star quarterback Grayson McCall is set to return from injury and play despite entering his name into the transfer portal. It also remains to be seen how sharp McCall will be after not seeing live action for an extended period. Additionally, successful head coach Jamey Chadwell notified the school after the Chanticleers loss in the Sun Belt Championship Game that he’ll be leaving to take the job at Liberty. Other than more money which is most always alluring, it appears to be a lateral move and certainly won’t bode well in terms of team morale. East Carolina has an impressive passing game that averages 288 yards per contest in the air. Conversely, Coastal Carolina was last in the Sun Belt Conference in pass yards allowed. Specifically speaking, the Chanticleers allowed 278 or more passing yards in their last 5 and 9 of its previous 11 games. Give me East Carolina minus the points. | |||||||

Commanders @ 49ers 4:05 ET Game# 469-470 Play On: Commanders +7.0 (5*) Washington still controls their own postseason destiny despite last week’s disappointing 20-12 loss to the New York Giants. They currently have a ½ game lead over Detroit and Seattle for the final NFC wildcard berth. The Commanders have gone an excellent 4-0-1 SU in their last 5 away games. The 49ers have things locked up in the NFC West and it’s now a matter of whether they can catch Minnesota for the #2 seed in the NFC. The 49ers defense has received a ton of accolades and rightfully so. Nonetheless, Washington has allowed 21 points or fewer in each of their last 10 games while also holding opponents to less than 300 yards in 5 of those contests. Washington will give an excellent San Francisco team all they can handle and then some. Give me the Commanders plus the points. | |||||||

Giants @ Vikings 1:00 PM ET Game# 453-454 Play On: Giants +4.0 (5*) The Giants are coming off last Sunday’s huge 20-10 road win over Washington in a game that had major postseason implications. That victory improved their season record to 8-5-1 (.607). The Giants have gone a very profitable 5-1 ATS on the road this season and won 4 of those SU. Meanwhile, Minnesota overcame a 33-0 halftime deficit in last Saturday’s 39-36 overtime win versus Indianapolis. Despite their impressive 11-3 record, Minnesota is averaging outscoring their opponents by 0.2 points per game. They’ve seen 5 of their 11 wins come by 4 points or fewer. The Vikings defense has really struggled during the 2nd half of the season. Specifically speaking, throughout their previous 6 contests, Minnesota has allowed 31.3 points and 440.7 yards per game. NFL teams like the Giants that are coming off a division win in which they allowed 7 or more points, and they have a win percentage of less than .750, versus a team like Minnesota who’s coming of a home game in which they scored and allowed 24 points or more, resulted in teams like the Giants going 17-1 ATS (94.4%) since 2017. Furthermore, they went 14-4 SU in those exact situations as well. Give me the Giants plus the points. | |||||||

Atlanta @ Baltimore 1:00 PM ET Game# 467-468 Play On: Baltimore -6.0 (5*) The strength of Atlanta’s offense is their running game and especially so during the 2nd half of this season. However, they’ll be facing a Baltimore defense which has held 10 of 14 opponents this season to 88 yards or less rushing and is #3 in the NFL against the run. On the other hand, Baltimore possesses the #2 rushing offense in the NFL at 164.7 yards per game. The Ravens will be facing an Atlanta defense which has allowed an average of 171.2 yards per game on the ground over their previous 5 contests. Give me Baltimore minus the points. | |||||||

UL-Lafayette vs. Houston 3:00 PM ET Game# 229-230 Play On: Houston -7.0 (5*) UL-Lafayette has lost 2 starters for this game due to them opting out for the NFL Draft. They include top wide receiver Michael Jefferson and star defensive end Andre Jones. On the one occasion the Ragin Cajuns stepped in class this season, they were blown out 49-17 at Florida State. Houston finished the regular season with a somewhat disappointing 7-5 record. However, this is an offense that’s been clicking on all cylinders while averaging 41.7 points scored per game over their last 7 contests and amassed 445 yards or more of total offense on each occasion. The Cougars are #14 nationally in scoring offense at 37.5 points per game. They also possess the 7th best passing offense in the country while averaging 321.1 yards in the air per game. The Cougars have unequivocally played the stronger schedule in this matchup. Give me Houston minus the points. | |||||||

Liberty vs. Toledo 7:30 PM ET Game# 223-224 Play On: Liberty +4.0 (5*) This Boca Raton Bowl opened with Toledo being a 1.0-point favorite and was quickly moved to 3.5 and 4.0. The move had to do more with the departure of head coach Hugh Freeze who left Liberty to take the same position at Auburn than money related. Since the interim tag was removed from Jason Candle at Toledo, the Rockets have gone a dismal 0-4 SU&ATS in bowl games under his guidance, and 3 of those defeats came as a favorite. Conversely, since becoming a FBS team, Liberty has gone 3-0 SU&ATS in bowl games with 2 of those wins coming as an underdog. Give me Liberty plus the points. | |||||||

Philadelphia @ Chicago 1:00 PM ET Game# 317-318 Play On: Philadelphia -8.5 (5*) Philadelphia’s offense has been red-hot throughout their previous 3 contests while averaging 41.0 points and 463.3 yards per game. The Eagles are coming off last week’s convincing 48-22 road win over the Giants. They’ll be facing a Chicago team that’s gone 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS during their last 6 and allowed 33.5 points per game during that stretch. NFL favorites of 6.5 or greater playing after Game 8 like Philadelphia who possess a winning record, and they’re coming off a road win by 21 points or more, versus a team like Chicago with a losing record, resulted in those favorites of 6.5 or greater going 22-3 (88%) ATS since 2013. Give me Philadelphia minus the points. | |||||||
12-18-22 | Steelers v. Panthers -3 | Top | 24-16 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 50 m | Show |
Pittsburgh @ Carolina 1:00 PM ET Game# 319-320 Play On: Carolina -3.0 (5*) Carolina is coming off wins at Seattle and versus Denver in their previous 2 games. That improved their season record to 5-8 and only 1.0 game behind NFC South leading Tampa Bay. What was even more --impressive about those 2 wins was the Panthers ability to run the ball with a high degree of success. They rushed for a combined 361 yards in those 2 wins. The Panthers have gone a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 at home and all those victories came by 10 points or more. They rushed for 173 yards or more in all 3 of those home wins. The Carolina defense has been outstanding over their previous 5 contests while allowing only 15.5 points and 283.0 yards per game. That doesn’t bode well for a Pittsburgh offense that averages just 15.6 points scored per game on the road. The Steelers defense has allowed a combined 361 yards on the ground and 5.2 yards per rushing attempt in their last 2 games. The Steelers are a deceiving 3-4 on the road this season when considering they’re at -8.8 points and -67.9 yards per game differential during those outings. Give me Carolina minus the points. | |||||||

Baltimore @ Cleveland 4:30 PM ET Game# 305-306 Play On: Cleveland -2.5 (5*) Here we are entering Week 15 of the NFL season, and we have a 5-8 team (Cleveland) as a favorite over a 9-4 (Baltimore) opponent. Yes, Baltimore is without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson, but this line still speaks volumes to me. NFL betting history over the last 27 season has shown that losing teams that are favorite over winning teams this late in the year have been a strong play on. NFL favorites like Cleveland playing after Game 12 with a losing record, versus teams like Baltimore who own a win percentage of .692 or better, resulted in those favorites going 19-2 SU and 17-4 ATS since 1996. If those losing teams were favorites of 3.5 or less, they improved to 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS throughout that identical time span with a substantial average victory margin of 17.6 points per game. Give me Cleveland minus the points. | |||||||
12-17-22 | Florida v. Oregon State -8 | Top | 3-30 | Win | 100 | 24 h 0 m | Show |
Florida vs. Oregon State 2:30 PM ET Game# 215-216 Play On: Oregon State -8.0 (10*) This will be a depleted Florida roster that will enter Saturday’s Las Vegas Bowl. Quite frankly, they were an average at best team before the loss of players to the transfer portal and opt out for the NFL Draft since their regular season slate concluded. The Gators finished 6-6 during regular season action which included 1-4 in neutral site or away games and allowed 31 points or more in those losses. Oregon State enters this bowl game riding a ton of momentum after completing a 9-3 regular season campaign which culminated with a 38-34 win over bitter in state rival Oregon. They also saw 2 of their 3 losses come by exactly 3 points versus nationally ranked Washington and USC. Give me Oregon State minus the points for a Top Play wager. |
