10-09-21 | Maryland +21.5 v. Ohio State | 17-66 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 10 m | Show | |
Big Ten Bookie Buster Maryland at Ohio State 12:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- Man were the Terrapins outclassed last week by Iowa (51-14) and now they travel to Columbus to battle Ohio State who had their best game of the season at Rutgers winning 52-13. The scores and outcomes of last weeks games will force these two clubs to come back to the center and it will be much closer than most expect. Maryland is 14-4 ATS after a double-digit home loss and the Buckeyes are 3-9 ATS after passing for more than 280 yards in their previous games. Take MARYLAND! | |||||||
10-09-21 | Michigan State v. Rutgers +4.5 | Top | 31-13 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 11 m | Show |
Big Ten Vegas Hotline winner Michigan State at Rutgers 12:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Spartans- After a disappointing season last year Michigan State is 5-0 and 3-0-2 ATS and spirits are high in Lansing. But, looking close at the competition that they have played we can note that they have yet to win against a team with a winning record and in the past two weeks with wins over Nebraska and Western Kentucky they were out gained by 186 yards and 41 yards with the Hilltoppers matting 560 yards against them. Rutgers who is much improved under Greg Schiano was waylay-ed by Ohio State last week and will bounce back with a strong home performance here. Note that the Spartans are 5-15-1 in their last 21 conference game. Take RUTGERS! | |||||||
10-08-21 | Stanford v. Arizona State -12.5 | Top | 10-28 | Win | 100 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
Stanford at Arizona State 10:30 ET Sun Devils (-) over Cardinal- After defeating No. 3 Oregon last week 31-24 in overtime a huge PAC-12 upset the oddsmakers must believe that Stanford left in all on the field last week as they are almost two touchdown underdogs at Arizona State. The Sun Devils are looking for the third straight conference win and are averaging 444 YPG while holding opponents to 289 YPG and just 17.4 PPG while Stanford allows 406 yards and 26.8 points. This price is way out of whack as it appears the 'Bookies' are making it easy to take Stanford as they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games and the Sun Devils are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites. Lay it with ARIZONA STATE! | |||||||
10-07-21 | Rams v. Seahawks +2.5 | Top | 26-17 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 41 m | Show |
L.A. Rams and Seattle 8:20 ET Seahawks (+) over Rams- The 3-1 Rams are coming off a 37-20 home loss against Arizona as their top rated defense surrendered 465 yards to the Kyler Murray led Cardinals offense. Seattle now 2-2 rebounded after a pair of losses to beat the Niners 28-21 in San Francisco despite being out gained by 223 yards. Under Pete Carroll Seattle is 10-1 (8-1-2 ATS) on Thursday Nights including winning their last nine straight-up. The last time these two met Seattle lost to Los Angeles 30-20 in a home wild-card playoff loss at home. The Rams are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Hawks but Seattle is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as home underdogs but, just 2-9 ATS after a SU win. A tough call as the trends are a wash but take SEATTLE! | |||||||
10-04-21 | Raiders v. Chargers -3 | Top | 14-28 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Las Vegas at L.A. Chargers 8:15 ET Raiders over Chargers- There is just one undefeated AFC team remaining and it is the rejuvenated 3-0 Las Vegas Raiders who bring the NFL passing leader Derek Carr into SoFi Stadium for this MNF encounter. The Raiders rank No. 1 in total offense averaging 471 YPG lead by Carr's 379.7 passing YPG as he was name AFC Offensive Player of the Month for September. Justin Herbert the Chargers second year QB set a rookie record for TD passes last season with 31 and had four scoring throws last week against Kansas City. That being said the underdog is 18-6 ATS in the last 24 meetings and the Raiders are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Los Angeles. And as far as these offensive numbers are concerned these two team play polar opposites as the under is 16-4-1 in the last 21 meetings overall. Take CHARGERS! | |||||||
10-03-21 | Bucs v. Patriots +7 | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 26 h 37 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at New England 8:20 ET Patriots (+) over Buccaneers- This may not be the best game of the day but it is the one that is drawing the most attention as Tom Brady returns to the place it all started. Earning five Super Bowl rings with the Patriots at 44 years old he now leads the Buccaneers against his former coach Bill Belichick who many say have destain for each other. One of the keys to Brady's success of late is Rob Gronkowski and he along with four other starters are doubtful for this encounter including Antonio Brown. New England will continue with rookie QB Mac Jones who has shown he can run the Pats offense but is still prone to rookie mistakes. Look for Belichick's defensive seam to keep this one closer than most expect. Take NEW ENGLAND! | |||||||
10-03-21 | Steelers +6 v. Packers | Top | 17-27 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 38 m | Show |
Pittsburgh at Green Bay 4:25 ET Steelers (+) over Packers- So, I guess this is the beginning of the end of Ben Roethlisberger which he actually showed signs of in the final five games of 2020 as the Steelers are 3-7 in their last 10 games overall. Aaron Rodgers of course is considered the best 'passer' of the day and has recovered from a horrible opening week 38-3 loss to New Orleans and is back in top form. These two QB's met in Super Bowl XLV when Rogers won his only NFL Championship and named MVP. Despite what we've seen Big Ben is completing 64% of his passes and he will have the return of his top receiver Diontae Johnson and will be aided Najee Harris running the ball for the bottom ranked rushing team in the NFL. The Steelers are 24-8-2 ATS as dogs and 18-7-1 ATS as road dogs and the road team is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take PITTSBURGH! | |||||||
10-03-21 | Ravens v. Broncos +1 | Top | 23-7 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 36 m | Show |
Baltimore at Denver 4:25 ET Broncos (+) over Ravens- Yes the Broncos are 3-0 but as so many have pointed out none of their three opponents have yet to win a game and are 0-10. Baltimore is 2-1 losing their opener against the Raiders after blowing a 14-0 lead. The dueling quarterbacks here are of contrasting styles as the Ravens Lamar Jackson and Denver's Teddy Bridgewater get the jobs done differently. The Broncos defense is No. 2 allowing just 221.7 YPG while Baltimore rep for a stout dense has taken a hit surrendering 394 YPG having played against the NFL top offense in the Raiders. Although the Ravens are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight. Take DENVER! | |||||||
10-03-21 | Giants +7 v. Saints | 27-21 | Win | 100 | 18 h 7 m | Show | |
N.Y. Giants at New Orleans 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Saints- Oh, my-oh-my how the New York media has already buried the Giants as their 0-3 start has been blamed on injuries, poor play, penalties and bad coaching decisions. New Orleans is getting to play their first game in the Superdome before a packed house for the first time since the 2019 regular season and as coach Sean Payton said 'It's going to be crazy in that building.' The Giants have lost twice on game ending field goals and their offense most likely will be with tow explosive wide receivers as Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton missed practice this week. Although New York is 0-3-1 ATS in their last four trips at this site they are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games as road underdogs. In a hairy outcome Big Blue gets the money. Take NEW YORK! | |||||||
10-03-21 | Browns v. Vikings +1 | 14-7 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 4 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Minnesota 10:00 ET Vikings (+) over Browns- This is a homecoming of sorts as 2020 NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski returns to Minnesota where he was part of the Vikings offensive coaching staff for 24 years. Minnesota has a pair of losses by a total of four points losing to Arizona 34-33 and Cincinnati 27-24. Minnesota running back is a 'probable' starter as he stated he is extremely confident that he will play. The Browns will have three interior linemen out as they were injured in their romp over Pittsburgh last week. Cleveland's role as a road favorite has not been beneficial as they are 1-7 ATS in that spot. This plays right into when Minny is at their best as they are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games as home underdogs. Take MINNESOTA! | |||||||
10-03-21 | Lions v. Bears -3 | 14-24 | Win | 100 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
Detroit at Chicago 10:00 ET Bears (-) over Lions- In one of the worst offense showing since the NFL started keeping stats the Bears still aren't sure who will be their starting quarterback or do they? Detroit is coming off a loss because of poor coaching decisions in final moments and officials failures to execute the rules of play. There is one difference between these two bottom feeders and that is the Lions are still without a win while Chicago posted a victory over Cincinnati. The oddsmakers don't seem to care as to who starts at QB for the Lions as they are still installed as a 3-point favorite. The Bears are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings at Soldier Field and should get the money here. Take CHICAGO! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Arizona State +3 v. UCLA | 42-23 | Win | 100 | 26 h 4 m | Show | |
Arizona State at UCLA 10:30 ET Sun Devils (+) over Bruins- These 3-1 PAC-12 clubs match-up nicely on offense with Arizona State gaining 438 YPG and UCLA 434 YPG. On defense it's a different story where the Bruins surrender 394.3 YPG and the Sun Devils just 247.5 YPG raking No. 6 in the nation almost a 150 yard difference. Granted the Bruins have played a slightly harder schedule but not so much as the stats show. Although ASU is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings they are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs and UCLA is just 2-6 ATS against teams with winning records. Take ARIZONA STATE! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Boston College v. Clemson -14.5 | 13-19 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 57 m | Show | |
Boston College at Clemson 7:30 ET Tigers (-) over Eagles- So in this one we have a 4-0 club in Boston College more than a 2-TD underdog to a 2-2 team that is vastly overrated and has troubles scoring points (21.8). The Eagles are scoring 41.3 PPG although their competition is suspect having built stats against the likes of Colgate, Temple and Massachusetts. For Clemson (0-4 ATS) the competition has been much stiffer losing the the nation's best defense versus Georgia and upstart N.C. State. Add that BC is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as road underdogs and that the Tigers are just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings this line seems out of whack. But, like I've said so many time the 'bookmaker' goats you into thinking that you are getting value. Lay it with CLEMSON! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Oregon v. Stanford +8 | Top | 24-31 | Win | 100 | 19 h 6 m | Show |
Oregon at Stanford 3:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Ducks- To my surprise this week I see that Oregon is the No. 3 ranked team in the country as the Ducks have reeled off four straight wins but maybe it is because they are just 1-3 ATS that they snuck up on the rankings or maybe it is because or the most part the PAC-12 is not highly regarded. Stanford (2-2) has been inconsistent losing to UCLA last week and Kansas State in their opener while defeating USC in LA and lowly Vanderbilt on the road. The Ducks have 13 takeaways and lead the nation including five interceptions last week against Arizona. I must note that the Ducks are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 7-16-1 ATS after scoring 40 or more points in their previous game. The Cardinal are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six PAC-12 games and 5-2-1 ATS overall in their last eight. Take STANFORD! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Syracuse v. Florida State -4.5 | 30-33 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
Syracuse at Florida State 3:30 ET Seminoles (-) over Orange- Here it is, here's the Seminoles first win of the year after an 0-4 start with their only 'cover' in their opener against Notre Dame. Florida State's biggest problems comes from 11 turnovers. Syracuse is off home games against Albany and Liberty and will find the competition a bit stiffer here although most can't see it as FSU is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But the home team is 7-2 in the last nine meetings and the Orange people are 1-6 ATS after a SU win. Take FLORIDA STATE! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Ohio State -14.5 v. Rutgers | 52-13 | Win | 100 | 19 h 53 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Rutgers 3:30 ET Buckeyes (-) over Scarlet Knights- Yes we can see great improvement with Rutgers 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS under coach Greg Schiano's leadership while Ohio State seems to have taken a step backwards. The Buckeyes struggled in their first two outings getting by Minnesota and losing to Oregon at home. But, in their last two games against lesser competition they garnered 1,130 yards against Tulsa and Akron. OSU is 2nd in the nation averaging 559.3 YPG and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Scarlet Knights. Don't be surprised with a blowout here. Take OHIO STATE! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Cincinnati -120 v. Notre Dame | Top | 24-13 | Win | 100 | 18 h 58 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Notre Dame 2:30 ET Bearcats over Fighting Irish- What bothers me here is how much attention this game is receiving from the betting public. Usually I like that, but so many aware of the situation, that being the Fighting Irish fantastic record as home underdogs winning 9-of-10 outright in that role and yet there is huge support for Cincinnati and so many would like to see a non Big-5 school make it to the FBS Final-Four and believe the Bearcats will be the first to break through that current barrier. The Bearcats have revenge on their minds as they last time they met ND won 58-0 nah, that was in 1900. Brian Kelly was Cincy's head man from 2007 to 2009. If a team gets 3-pts for home advantage for home filed and you do the math it would make the Cats a 9-pt favorite at home...Bookies dream...Take CINCINNATI! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Michigan v. Wisconsin -125 | 38-17 | Loss | -125 | 26 h 55 m | Show | |
NCAAF Power Play Michigan at Wisconsin 12:00 ET Badgers (+) over Wolverines- Okay here we have it (again) an unranked team Wisconsin (2-2) favored over a Top 20 team No. 14 Michigan (4-0). The Wolverines average 291 rushing yards per game while the Badgers defense os No. 1 against the run allowing just 23 YPG. Whisky's offense gains 397 YPG although they score only 19 points a game. What makes even less sense is that the Wolverine defense only allows 11.8 points and yet still undefeated and are an underdog here. The oddsmakers don't care about rankings and know better than pollsters. Take WISCONSIN! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Arkansas v. Georgia -17.5 | 0-37 | Win | 100 | 26 h 50 m | Show | |
NCAAF Vegas Hotline Arkansas at Georgia 12:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Razorbacks- Are they (bookmakers) serious...the No. 2 Bulldogs are favored by nearly three touchdowns over No. 8 Arkansas who is 4-0 and have dismantled Texas 40-21 and Texas A&M 20-10 and are 4-0 ATS also with a romps over Rice and Georgia Southern. The Bulldogs have outscored opponents 168-23 and average 454.5 yards per game while the Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS as road dogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. But, Georgia's defense is ranked No. 1 allowing just 185.3 YPG while QB J.T Daniels is 54-71 passing (76.1%) in three of the Bulldogs three wins. Too much firepower and defense for the Hogs to handle. Take GEORGIA! | |||||||
10-02-21 | Texas v. TCU +4 | 32-27 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 49 m | Show | |
NCAAF Inner Circle Winner Texas at Texas Christian 12:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- TCU has played all three of their games at home and have yet to 'cover' the spread while 3-1 Texas has posted a pair of conference wins defeating Texas Tech 70-35 and Rice 58-0. The Longhorns have totaled 1,259 yards in their last two wins and are ranked No. 3 in scoring averaging 46.8 PPG and have not punted in the last two games. Although Texas is 7-2 SU in the last nine meetings they are just 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Horned Frogs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and coach Gary Patterson will have his 'Horney Toads' ready. Take T.C.U.! | |||||||
10-01-21 | Iowa v. Maryland +3.5 | Top | 51-14 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 18 m | Show |
Iowa at Maryland 8:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Hawkeyes- The best quarterback in the Tagovailoa family will be on display tonight as Tau II takes the field as the Big Tens leading passer with 1,340 yards and a 75.5 completion percentage. No. 5 Iowa has caught most of the conference attention as they have the No.3 best scoring defense in the country allowing just 11 PPG and lead the Big Ten with six interceptions. So, the strengths of both clubs will clash here and and Taulia will get the best of it as he has 10 TD passes and only one INT. The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and the Hawkeyes play great in September but when conference play starts in October they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven. Take MARYLAND! | |||||||
09-30-21 | Jaguars +7.5 v. Bengals | 21-24 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
Jacksonville at Cincinnati 8:20 ET Jaguars (+) over Bengals- The Bengals are off a huge 24-10 emotional road win over Pittsburgh and they are still gloating about their victory against their arch rivals. Joe Barrow was last year's No. 1 draft pick and Cincinnati has shown vast improvement. This year's No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence is having difficulties throwing seven interceptions in his first three games and Jacksonville's defense hasn't helped rating 29th allowing 418 yards a game. Lawrence lost only twice in 36 starts at Clemson and has already lost three times to start his NFL career. Another part of the puzzle is Jacksonville coach Urban Meyer who didn't lose very often when coaching at the same level. This is a great spot for both of them to post their first NFL win. Take JACKSONVILLE! | |||||||
09-30-21 | Virginia +5.5 v. Miami-FL | 30-28 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Virginia at Miami-FL 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hurricanes- These two 2-2 clubs have been a major disappointment on the season as more was expected from both of them. Miami's win came at home against App St and Central Connecticut (yes that Central CT) and their losses came against bonafide competition as they were blown out by Alabama and Michigan State and badly outclassed in both losses. Virginia opened with a pair of wins against lesser competition and fell badly as well against North Carolina and Wake Forest. The Cavaliers' Brennan Armstrong has passed for over 400 yards in three straight games leading the nation in passing with 430.5 YPG while the Hurricanes QB D'Eriq King has been a major disappointment and us questionable because of an injured throwing shoulder which would affect his already average arm. Take VIRGINIA! | |||||||
09-27-21 | Eagles +3.5 v. Cowboys | Top | 21-41 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Dallas 8:20 ET Eagles (+) over Cowboys- Something has got to give here as Dallas leads the NFL in takeaways after two week with six and the Eagles have yet to turn the ball over. The Cowboys offense is averaging 435 YPG as Dak Prescott leading the way throwing for 306 YPG but their defense is ranked 29th allowing 420 YPG. Philadelphia's defense has been one of the toughest holding opponents to 283 YPG. Seven Eagles have been grounded with injuries or COVID issues and that won't help them on either side of the ball. The home team and favorites have dominated this series of late but Dallas is 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take the EAGLES! | |||||||
09-26-21 | Packers v. 49ers -3 | 30-28 | Loss | -107 | 14 h 31 m | Show | |
Green Bay at San Francisco 8:15 ET Niners (-) over Packers- So, you think the 'Pack is Back', think again. Rodgers may be as great as ever but their defense is a soft and they don't have much of a running game averaging 69.5 yards. Niners defense has yet to show itself but allowed just one TD last week on a 91-yard play otherwise they shut down the Eagles and have a healthy Garoppolo who has an impressive record as a starter. Take SAN FRANCISCO! | |||||||
09-26-21 | Seahawks v. Vikings +2 | 17-30 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Seattle at Minnesota 4:25 ET Vikings (+) over Seahawks- The Vikings open at home after blowing two road games on the last play of the game while the Seahawks blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead to the Titans and lost in OT. Seattle has won six straight against Minnesota including a 27-26 home win scoring with six second to go. This game extract revenge. Sea-birds have Niners up next and may get caught peeking ahead. Take MINNESOTA! | |||||||

Tampa Bay at L.A. Rams 4:25 ET Rams over Buccaneers- The game of the day has the two NFC favorites going at it in LA where Tom Brady will play for the first time in his career. Hollywood is just a deep pass away and that will probably be the GOAT's next stop but now before that the Rams will butt him around here. Tampa has a pair of home wins and will face a fierce Rams rush in their first road game along with a passing offense behind Matt Stafford averaging 291 passing yards. Take the RAMS! | |||||||
09-26-21 | Dolphins +4 v. Raiders | Top | 28-31 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Miami at Las Vegas 4:05 ET Dolphins (+) over Raiders- How 'bout dem Raiders' opening the season 2-0 with impressive wins over the Ravens and Steelers and are enjoying the limelight. Miami can't play much worse than last weeks 35-0 blowout loss to the Bills and will be without their injury prone QB Tagovailoa and will start journeyman Jacob Brissett who is 12-20 as an NFL starter. The 'price' here seems awful cheap and this leads me to believing the Dolphins will play tough and LV maybe caught napping. Take MIAMI! | |||||||
09-26-21 | Cardinals v. Jaguars +8 | 31-19 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Arizona at Jacksonville 1:05 ET Jaguars (+) over Cardinals- Cardinals are flying high after their improbable win last week but might have trouble taking the Jaguars seriously even with their No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence (14-33 122 yds 2 INT's last week) and coach Urban Meyer. Jags had 189 total offensive yards last week vs Denver last week with just one offensive TD on their first possession. Jax allows 424 YPG ranking 29 while Arizona puts up 445 YPG ranking 2nd yet it's the Jaguars time to bite. Take JACKSONVILLE | |||||||
09-26-21 | Ravens v. Lions +7.5 | Top | 19-17 | Win | 100 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
Baltimore at Detroit 1:05 ET Lions (+) over Ravens- The Ravens pulled off an unexpected upset win over KCSunday night with Lamar Jackson showing he is one of the best running backs in the NFL. The Lions hung tough in the first half against Green Bay showing they can more the ball. With the Ravens still banged-up and riding high on their victory I expect a small letdown and as the Lions roar at home. Take DETROIT! | |||||||

West Virginia at Oklahoma 7:30 ET Sooners (–) over Mountaineers- My oh my, the beat goes on with the Mountaineers. Play on them at home as favorites and against them on the road as underdogs as they are 5-11 ATS as road dogs. Oklahoma is off a competitive win over Nebraska and has won all eight meetings since they joined the Big-12 as West Virginia is 0-5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The Sooners are 6-1 ATS in their last seven conference games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as favorites. Take OKLAHOMA! | |||||||
09-25-21 | Nebraska +5 v. Michigan State | Top | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 32 h 57 m | Show |
Nebraska at Michigan State 7:00 ET Cornhuskers (+) over Spartans- I saw the Spartans up front and personal last week at Miami in their 38-17 beatdown of the Hurricanes. Yes that seem impressive and they played a swell game but the Canes just can't compete against better competition. Nebraska is led at quarterback by fifth year senior Adrian Martinez who for the most part has been a disappointment for the Cornhuskers but is coming off a maturing game against the Sooners going 19-25 for 289 yards. Huskers are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss and 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games on grass and are 9-4-1 ATS as road underdogs. Spartans are 5-15n ATS in last 20 conference games and 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 games as hosts. Add that MSU is 1-101- ATS in last 12 as home favorites and Huskers are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take NEBRASKA! | |||||||
09-25-21 | Louisville v. Florida State +2 | 31-23 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 26 m | Show | |
Louisville at Florida State 3:30 ET Seminoles (+) over Cardinals- After losing to FCS Jacksonville State the downtrodden Seminoles were pasted 35-14 by an underrated Wake Forest team that dropped them to 0-3. The last time Florida State was 0-3 was 1975 in Bobby Bowden's first year as coach and they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Louisville is off a great 42-35 win over Central Florida but are just 1-4 ATS after an ATS win. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and that's about the best I can say about the Seminoles except that they get the money here. Take FLORIDA STATE! | |||||||

Texas A&M vs Arkansas 3:00 ET Aggies (-) over Razorbacks- Arkansas is running hog wild averaging 282 yards on the ground and 492 yards in total offense from scrimmage as they host the Aggies in Arlington. Both clubs are 3-0 but Texas A&M has been here before while this is new territory for the Razorbacks. The Aggie defense is No. 9 in the nation allowing just 239 yards a game and ranked No1 against the pass surrendering just 77.3 YPG. Hogs just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs at neural sites and 1-8 ATS in games after a win by more than 20 points. Take TEXAS A&M! | |||||||

Clemson at N.C State 3:30 ET Tigers (-) over Wolfpack- This is one of those 'don't make sense' lines on Saturday. Both these clubs are 2-1 with N.C State 2-0 at home outscoring opponents 90-7 and averaging 456 yards a game on offense for the season. Clemson meanwhile has struggled offensively averaging just 322 yards a game and 22 points and are on the road for the first time this year and they are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games as favorites. But, the Tigers have won 15 of the last 16 meetings including a 55-10 win in their last meetings and out-scoring the Wolfpack 96-17 in the last two meets. Wolves are just 4-10 ATS in last 14 games against teams with winning records. Take CLEMSON! | |||||||
09-25-21 | Notre Dame v. Wisconsin -6 | 41-13 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
Notre Dame vs Wisconsin 12;00 ET Badgers (-) over Fighting Irish- Don't get sucked into the Irish side here as they once again are overrated while Wisconsin as usual is not that highly regarded. The storyline here will be the former Badger quarterback Jack Coan who who now starts for Notre Dame after he left the program after he was beaten out by current Whisky QB Graham Mertz. The line in this contest at Soldier Field seems a bit high and it is because he Fighting Irish have had to struggle to defeat Toledo and Purdue after surviving a scare at Florida State. Don't be deterred...take WISCONSIN! | |||||||

Wake Forest at Virginia 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Demon Deacons- Wake Forest is off to a quick start at 3-0 and 1-0 in the ACC while Virginia who was 2-0 is off a dreadful loss to North Carolina where they surrendered 699 yards on defense to North Carolina losing 59-39. The Cavaliers quarterback Brennan Armstrong threw for a school record 554 yards passing in that game and directs the No. 4 rankled offense averaging 558 YPG who are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 home games. Take VIRGINIA! | |||||||
09-23-21 | Panthers v. Texans UNDER 43 | 24-9 | Win | 100 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Carolina at Houston 8:15 ET Texans (+) over Carolina- This is a really tough call and it has taken me most of the day to finally squeeze the trigger and make the call. Houston as we are all aware are down to their third quarterback as Tyrod Taylor who replaced Deshaun Watson has a rib injury and the duties have fallen upon rookie Davis Mills. The 2-0 Panthers have a refreshed Sam Darnold at the helm and he looks and is playing like a different guy from what we saw when he led the Jets. Both offenses are comparable but Carolina's defense has been outstanding ranking No. 1 allowing just 190 total yards per game. Play UNDER! | |||||||

09-20-21 | Lions v. Packers UNDER 48.5 | 17-35 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Detroit at Green Bay 8:15 ET Lions/Packers UNDER- Green Bay is in the middle of a terrible run as they scored just three points in their opening week loss to the Saints and have yet to 'cover' or go 'over' any games this year. In the pre-season they were shut out by Buffalo 19-0 in the final game before the regular season opener and lost to the Jets 23-14 and Houston 26-7 scoring just 24 points in their four games overall this year. Granted Aaron Rodgers did not play a down in the preseason but he did play against New Orleans and managed just a field goal. Relax, don't panic, we have heard this mantra spewed by Rodgers before despite gaining just 43 yards rushing in their opener and only 133 yards passing. The Lions trailed the 49ers by 24-points before staging a late rally that fell short in their opener but allowed the Niners 8.0 yards per play. The 'Under' is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the Lions are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and the 'Under' is 4-0 in the Packers last four games against teams with losing records. Play UNDER! | |||||||
09-19-21 | Chiefs v. Ravens +4 | 35-36 | Win | 100 | 25 h 36 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Baltimore 8:20 ET Ravens (+) over Chiefs- Man, if this game was being played in an alley with no betting an no TV I'm sure Kansas City would get the best of the Ravens. But, this contest in on National TV for all to see and their will be NFL officials there to keep it close. In losing to the Raiders Monday night the Ravens have been decimated by more injuries the Ravens are a home dog against the Chiefs and when the met just a year ago the were 3.5-point favorites and lost outright to KC 34-20. Kansas City is just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and Baltimore is 5-1 ATS in their last six games as home underdogs. This one's hairy but the 'action' is so heavy on the Chiefs that the bookmakers will get destroyed on parlays and teasers if they win. The bookies just don't seem to lose these type of games. Take BALTIMORE! | |||||||
09-19-21 | Vikings +3.5 v. Cardinals | 33-34 | Win | 100 | 19 h 55 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Arizona 4:05 ET Vikings (+) over Cardinals- Arizona was my 'Highest-Rated' best bet (3-0) winner last week as the just went out and crushed the Titans 38-13 in Tennessee. Minnesota meanwhile has continued to struggle as they lost as a favorite 27-24 in OT at Cincinnati and are 0-4 ATS including the preseason. The Vikings were plagued with mistakes as they committed 10 penalties and turned the ball over three times and are 0-8 ATS in their last eight regular season games but are 3-0-2 ATS in the last five meetings. Arizona has not been the best at home when favored as they are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 games as favorites as hosts and 7-19 ATS as home favorites in their last 26 games overall. Take MINNESOTA! | |||||||

New England at N.Y Jets 1:00 ET Jets (+) over Patriots- A pair of rookie quarterbacks will face each other in New York as the Patriots will bring Mac Jones to play his first road game against Zach Wilson and what has been the hapless Jets. New York has dropped 10 straight games to New England but are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings at home as the home team is 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings and the Jets are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games overall. Playing before their home fans first the first time since December 2019 New York will be juiced and their defense can keep this one close against at rookie QB. Take the J-E-T-S! | |||||||
09-19-21 | Bills v. Dolphins +3.5 | 35-0 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Buffalo at Miami 1:00 ET Dolphins (+) over Bills- There is no doubt in my mind that the majority of 'players' that bet this game will take Buffalo. After all they were everybody's darlings to dethrone Kansas City in the AFC and they played like a team that feels the pressure in Game 1 against the Steelers and already they have a sense of urgency. The Bills have won the last five meetings but have not responded well after a loss going 1-4 in their last five after a SU loss while the Dolphins are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as home underdogs. Take MIAMI! | |||||||

Denver at Jacksonville 1:00 ET Jaguars (+) over Broncos- Last week Jacksonville who was the worst team in the NFL last season and took Trevor Lawrence with the No. 1 pick were favored on the road ta Houston. This week after showing they aren't all that much better are an underdog at home to Denver who manhandled the Giants in new York last week with Teddy Bridgewater leading the way. Things were so disappointing for the Jaguars that rumors immediately surfaced the Coach Urban Meyer was leaving for the USC job. But, this week the Broncos will be without Bridgewater's favorite receiver Jerry Jeudy as he has been placed on the IR. Denver is just 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games when favored and just 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. Take JACKSONVILLE! | |||||||

L.A. Rams at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Rams- The Rams entered the season with the NFL's No. 1 defense and during the off season they added (as we all are aware) one of the league best passers in Matthew Stafford. Last week we all saw what they are capable of by outclassing the Bears on Sunday night dominating on both sides of the ball. Indianapolis wasn't as impressive with their 'new' quarterback as they only produced 336 yards on offense scoring only one touchdown when the game was competitive. The Rams are just 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records while the Colts are 9-1-1 ATS after a double digit home loss and Indy is 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with winning records. Take INDIANAPOLIS! | |||||||

Arizona State at BYU 10:15 ET Sun Devils (-) over Cougars- BYU is 2-0 having defeated a pair of Pac-12 clubs in taking down Arizona and Utah. I can't tell you how big the Cougars (+7) win over Utah is in the Holy War after having lost to the Utes nine straight times. So, at 2-0 BYU is now a home dog to another Pac-12 team and that is telling as they are emotionally drained and have been on cloud-9 all week. The Cougars will return to earth as a home dog as ASU is 4-0 ATS in their last four road games and 3-1-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. Take SUN DEVILS! | |||||||
09-18-21 | Auburn v. Penn State -5 | 20-28 | Win | 100 | 26 h 23 m | Show | |
Auburn at Penn State 7:30 ET Nittany Lions (-) over Tigers- This should be a good one as these 2-0 clubs from two major conferences face off as the Big Ten's Penn State will host the SEC's Auburn. The Tigers opened the season with a pair of wins by scoring 60 and 62 points against FCS schools Akron and Alabama State averaging 576 yards on offense and allowing just 194 ypg. Penn State defeated a pair of FBS schools opening with a win at Wisconsin and a win over Ball State. Since starting last season 0-5 both SU and ATS the Lions are 6-0 both SU and ATS and are a strong favorite here as they have played some real competition as opposed to Auburn who built their stats against the weakest of opponents. Taker PENN STATE! | |||||||
09-18-21 | Virginia v. North Carolina -7.5 | 39-59 | Win | 100 | 26 h 22 m | Show | |
Virginia at North Carolina 7:00 ET Tar Heels (-) over Cavaliers- The Tar Heels have a long way to go to rebuild their image after their loss at Virginia Tech. So many believed in them and predicted a possible FBS Bowl bid, but it's not to be! Last season when North Carolina was undefeated they went to Charlottesville and were upset 44-31 as an 8-point favorites and are now 0-4 SU and ATS in the last four meetings. Virginia is 2-0 SU and ATS this year defeating W&M as 30-point favorites and Illinois as 10.5-point favorites and now they are heavy underdogs on the road where they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. Heels are 6-2 ATS as home favorites in their last eight games as hosts. Take NORTH CAROLINA! | |||||||
09-18-21 | Northwestern v. Duke +3 | 23-30 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Duke 4:00 ET Blue Devils (+) over Wildcats- I don't like what I've seen out of Northwestern it's going to be a long season for the Wildcats. On offense they ranked 91st averaging only 338 YPG and that's having played Indiana State as a 28.5-point favorite winning 24-6 while accumulating just 275 yards on offense. For Duke who is off a miserable year filled with turnovers they are 1-1 but average 507 yards a game have defeated Northwestern the last two meetings as dogs winning both outright. The line here is very suspect and I expect the blue devils to wins easily. Take DUKE! | |||||||
09-18-21 | Alabama v. Florida +15 | Top | 31-29 | Win | 100 | 22 h 29 m | Show |
Alabama at Florida 3:30 ET Gators (+) over Crimson Tide- Can anyone play with Alabama? I'm serious about this, they look to be the most physical team (Maybe Georgia) that I've seen this season. Florida always has talent at the skilled positions and speed to boot. The Tide lost two linebackers last week and that might give the Gators an opening they hadn't thought of prior to their injuries. Florida coach Dan Mullen is 0-10 lifetime against Nick Saban coached teams but got the money last season in a 52-46 loss to the Tide. This is Alabama's first trip to Gainesville since 2011 and they are 1-4 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and the gators are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games after an ATS loss. Take FLORIDA! | |||||||
09-18-21 | Nevada -1 v. Kansas State | 17-38 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 56 m | Show | |
Nevada at Kansas State 2:05 ET Wolf Pack over Wildcats- A pair of the nation's better defenses face off at Bill Snyder Stadium as 2-0 Kansas State hosts 2-0 Nevada. The Wildcats allow just 254.5 yards per game ranking them in the Top-20 while the Wolf Pack allows just 165 yards per game ranking No. 7 in the nation. On offense Kansas State has a decided advantage averaging 363 yards while Nevada can barely eek out 186.5 YPG. So why is the 2-0 home team who comes from a superior program and underdog here. Cats will be without QB Skylar Thompson and that means trouble. Also KSU opens conference play next week against OK. St. and might not be truly focused. Take NEVADA! | |||||||
09-18-21 | Cincinnati v. Indiana +4 | 38-24 | Loss | -120 | 19 h 57 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Indiana 12:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Bearcats- Come-on you've got to be kidding me. Cincinnati is a power house that is built around defense Indiana is an imposter built around an overrated quarterback that can't throw the ball with any accuracy. The Hoosiers quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. opened the season with three interceptions against Iowa but bounced back going 11-of-16 and two mTD's passing and one rushing. Cincinnati ranked in the top-10 is considered a dark horse for the FBS playoffs and crushed Murray State 42-7 last time out after pounding Miami-Ohio 49-14. With this line being so cheap as it is I expect the Hoosiers the surprise here. The Bearcats are 2-5 ATS in their last seven as road favorites and Indy is 5-1 ATAS in their last six games as underdogs and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 overall. Take INDIANA! | |||||||
09-17-21 | Maryland v. Illinois +7 | 20-17 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
Maryland at Illinois 9:00 ET Fighting Illini (+) over Terrapins- Maryland has already posted a pair of wins and are averaging 535 ypg with both victories coming at home. They defeated West Virginia (a horrid road team) in their opener 30-24 as a 2.5-point underdog and then crush Howard 62-0 as a 47-point favorite. Illinois meanwhile opened the Bret Bielema era with an upset win over Nebraska and have dropped a pair of games since losing to UTSA and getting blown out by Virginia 42-14 last week. Illinois starting QB Brandon Peters will return from injury in this contest and can be the difference as Maryland takes to the road for the first time. Take ILLINOIS! | |||||||
09-13-21 | Ravens -4 v. Raiders | 27-33 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Las Vegas 8:15 ET Ravens (-) over Raiders- I don't believe that I have ever seen a team lose three top running backs to injury in such a short span, I know I have never witnessed it before. The question is can the NFL's top rushing team survive with three newcomers in the backfield? Las Vegas can't wait to play before a 'live' crowd in their new Allegiant Stadium. The town has been a buzz for a week now and this game has become a Las Vegas 'event' and their be fireworks before and after the game I'm sure. Too bad for the home town fans and Raiders backers you will be disappointed before the night over. LV's defense allowed 29.9 points per game last season and should remain porous for the Ravens. Take BALTIMORE! | |||||||

Chicago at L.A. Rams 8:20 ET Bears (+) over Rams- I expect the Rams now with Matthew Stafford leading the way at quarterback will receive the bulk of the 'action' as they are one of the NFC favorites to reach the Super Bowl. Chicago will try and bottle up the Rams with a defense led by Khali Mack and on offense they will rely on veteran and 3-time pro bowler Andy Dalton to lead the way (for now). The Bears are just 7-14 ATS on the road under Matt Nagy but, the average margin of loss is just 4-points. L.A. defeated Chicago 24-10 last season...it will be closer this season. Take Da' BEARS! | |||||||
09-12-21 | Packers v. Saints +3.5 | 3-38 | Win | 100 | 17 h 27 m | Show | |
Green Bay vs. New Orleans 4:25 ET Saints (+) over Packers- I had to drop this a notch because of the site change as it is being played in Jacksonville, Florida. Not far away but still not home. Well, the Packers Aaron Rogers ear is coming to an end and the Saints Jameis Winston ear is beginning. We can't count Winston out as he has thrown for 5,000 yards although those 30 intercepts will break any teams heart. Maybe with some good coaching and play calling he can shine. The Saints have been working out inTexas because of Ida and that can bering a team closer. I like the Saints to come marching in! Take NEW ORLEANS! | |||||||
09-12-21 | Dolphins +3.5 v. Patriots | 17-16 | Win | 100 | 17 h 25 m | Show | |
Miami at New England 4:25 ET Dolphins (+) over Patriots- Man-oh-man, I really want to see this one as the last two Alabama quarterbacks to win national championships will go head-to-head. Mac Jones has the job in New England and although he hasn't played a down yet he was elected captain by the veteran Patriots. Tua Tagovailoa was 6-3 as a starter for Miami last season but was not selected captain which many question. I love Jones and really question those that have doubted him and will continue to doubt him and he may prove the critics wrong but not Sunday. Even with Bill Belichick guiding him the Dolphins defense will swarm and harass him into mistakes. Take MIAM! | |||||||

Seattle at Indianapolis 1:00 ET Colts (+) over Seahawks- I'm a bit surprised at the amount of support that the Seahawks are receiving from bettors around the country. The Seahawks didn't have a great preseason but for Indianapolis it was a disaster as newly acquired Carson Wentz first had a foot issues and then went into virus protocol. Seattle was 12-4 last season and opened a one-point favorite but have moved to a field goal. Look for the Colts defense to corral the Hawks and get the outright win. Take INDIANAPOLIS! | |||||||

Arizona at Tennessee 1:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Titans- I think the oddsmaker is giving the Cardinals a great deal of respect. Tennessee was 11-5 last season before falling in the playoffs while Arizona struggled to reach 8-8 and failed to make the playoffs. The Titans added A.J. Green and Julio Jones to offset their powerful running game with Derrick Henry and yet they are favorite by just the home-field margin of -3. It looks like Kyler Murray will have his way against the Titans' Achilles heel...their defense. Arizona leads the all-time series 7-4 and are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take ARIZONA! | |||||||

Could the then ranked No. 20 Washington have been looking ahead to this Big Ten matchup...we shall see. Michigan posted a 47-14 win over Western Michigan but lost their start wide receiver and kick returner to season ending injuries. Jim Harbaugh is under the gun to produce this season but has struggled against the Pac-12 going 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Huskies 4-1 ATS after SU bounce back here. Take WASHINGTON! | |||||||

Money Game N.C State at Mississippi State 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Wolfpack- When NC State was installed as an 18-point favorite in their opener against South Florida I noted that either the Wolfpack are really good or the Bulls are bad. Well, the Bulls are worse than bad as the Pack shuts out USF 45-0. Mississippi State meanwhile was slipping by Louisiana Tech 35-34 with a 20-point fourth quarter come-from-behind win (largest comeback win in school history). NC State is taking to the SEC road where them and the ACC haven't fared so well as the Wolfpack are 1-8 on SEC road not have won since 1991 at South Carolina. Take the BULLDOGS! | |||||||

High Roller Texas at Arkansas 7:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Longhorns- There was a time when there was a Southwest Conference this contest would draw a lot of attention. But, both these schools have had a rough time of late although they both are on the upswing right now. This will be the 79 meetings but the first time since 2014 and just the sixth time in the last 30 years and they had met 60 straight years. Texas will be going once again with redshirt freshman QB Hudson Card who passed for 224 against Louisiana while the Razorback rushed for 245 yards against Rice winning 38-17 after trailing 17-7. Hogs run while here. Take ARKANSAS! | |||||||

Power Play Iowa at Iowa State 4:30 ET Cyclones (-) over Hawkeyes- What has drawn my attention to this matchup is the way Iowa dominated Indiana last week (I totally misread that game) and that the Cyclones after a weak showing against BCS Northern Iowa are such a strong favorite. The Hawkeyes have won the last five meetings and now after am impressive 34-6 Big Ten they go on the road where they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as road underdogs. They has been heavy action and the Book maker will need the Cyclones and so will I. Take IOWA STATE! | |||||||

Vegas Hotline Rutgers at Syracuse 2:00 ET Orange (+) over Scarlet Knights- Greg Schiano is back and so is Rutgers (1-0) as they opened the season with a 61-14 rout if Temple. The Scarlet Knights were 13-47 between coaching stints for Schiano while Syracuse had their worst season in school history going 1-10 losing their last five home games. But, the Orange opened with a win 29-9 at Ohio averaging 7-yards a rushing attempt while not committing a turnover. Going on past performances this line is way low and makes me believe that Syracuse is better than most think and are greatly improved. Take SYRACUSE! | |||||||

Dallas at Tampa Bay 8:40 ET Cowboys (+) over Buccaneers- I know how bad Dallas looked in the preseason (0-4) and we can't be sure we even know if Dak or Elliot will play or if McCarthy can coach. Tampa Bay of course is a huge favorite as they return all 22 starters a first time feat for a SB champ and Brady was perfect in the preseason. Prescott is returning from a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle 11 month ago and hasn't played since. The 'action' should be heavy enough on the Buccaneers to make the 'points' a viable play. Boys' are 15-4 SU last 19 meetings and somehow, someway they should get the cash. Take DALLAS! | |||||||

Louisville at Mississippi 8:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Rebels- There are plenty of storylines to follow from head coaches to player accomplishments on both sides of the ball. Mississippi's head coach Lane Kiffin enters his second season at Mississippi and he had the top offense in the SEC last season. Meanwhile Louisville's defense was ranked fourth in the ACC last year and have seven defensive starters returning. The Cardinals don't have no longer has the likes of Lamar Jackson as they have turned into a defensive club that was stingy giving up points but they do have the return of quarterback Malik Cunningham. Mississippi had the SEC's worst defense with a low of 16 sacks but, the Rebels led the SEC in rushing with and that's why the total is at 75.5. Take LOUISVILLE! | |||||||

Notre Dame at Florida State 7:30 Seminoles (+) over Fighting Irish- Notre Dame is once again ranked in the Top-10 although many doubt their ability to truly contend with the 'elites' in college football. The Fighting Irish have an experienced quarterback in Jack Coan who was beat out at Wisconsin by Graham Mertz after an early season injury. If any of you saw Mertz for the Badgers Saturday I have to wonder if this guy Mertz can win the job from Coan that Jack has a long way to go. Florida State was 3-6 last season with just two wins over FBS schools and are looking for a fresh start in coach Mike Norvell's second season. Take FLORIDA STATE! | |||||||

SEC/ACC Power Play Georgia at Clemson 7:30 ET Tigers (-) over Bulldogs- Can anyone ever live up the billing and the headliner here is not perennial national contender Clemson it's the national perennial short-comers...Georgia. When I first saw this match-up I thought that the SEC Bulldogs plus the points would be a good take but I wasn't alone and it seems both 'pros' and public are in lock step. That has me moving toward Clemson who may have lost Trevor Lawrence but will just reload this season. JT Daniels the transfer from USC starts for Georgia and maybe we will see why he left.

Indiana not know to be a football powerhouse won six games last season the most Big Ten wins they have had since 1987. The Hoosiers are led by quarterback Michael Penix Jr., and they are 10-2 when he starts as he returns from a torn ACL.

The formidable Crimson Tide lost six offensive players in the first round and now matter what kind of system you have that is a lot of talent to replace. Miami who is 'Up and Coming' will have D'Eriq King back leading the attack and the 6th year senior has recovered from a torn ACL.

North Carolina at Virginia Tech 6:00 ET Hokies (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina has received plenty of 'hype' this year and for good reason as they return a prolific offense that put up 56 points against Virginia Tech last season. The Tar Heels with have three year starting quarterback Sam Howell leading the charge but they have to replace a pair of stellar running backs. The Hokies at 5-6 last season ending a 27-year bowl streak but the home team have won the past four meetings and VT is 6-3 at home in the series. Take VIRGINIA TECH! | |||||||

Ohio State at Minnesota 8:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Buckeyes- I'm willing to take my possible lumps if I have to, but I can in no-way pass on the Golden Gophers here. To start with even after suffering a 52-24 beating by Alabama 'The Ohio State' will always be overrated especially starting the season and are always a popular public choice. Minnesota is in a great spot with many returning starters including a fourth year senior at quarterback and the Big Ten Running Back of the Year last season. Take the GOLDEN GOPHERS! | |||||||
08-28-21 | Nebraska -7 v. Illinois | 22-30 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 39 m | Show | |
Nebraska at Illinois 1:00 ET Fighting Illini (+) over Cornhuskers- So here comes Nebraska favored by a touchdown or less after four straight losing seasons under Scott Frost. The Cornhuskers were 3-5 in 2020 while Illinois was 2-6 but there have been changes in Champaign as former Big Ten coach at Wisconsin Brett Bielema and more recently at Arkansas has 17 returning seniors for the Illini. I believe the 'fresh' blood and attitude will aid Illinois but the Cornhuskers have a 4-year starter at quarterback as Scott Frost panics over his job. Take NEBRASKA! | |||||||

Tampa Bay vs. Kansas City 6:20 ET Bucs/Chiefs- Total UNDER- What can I say other than to wait as long as you can before making this bet as I expect the 'price' to move in only one direction and that is higher...I can give you all kinds of stats and trends but these two facts are constants. Kansas City has the No. 1 Passing (303ypg) and Overall offense with 416ypg averaging 29.6ppg while the Buccaneers have the No. 1 rush defense and allow 22.2ppg. Here's the gig this game will stay 'Under' with one or more TD's having been called back because of penalties ...HA! Play UNDER! | |||||||
02-07-21 | Chiefs v. Bucs +3 | Top | 9-31 | Win | 100 | 32 h 39 m | Show |
Tampa Bay vs. Kansas City 6:20 ET Buccaneers (+) over Chiefs- This should be a great one with the possibility of a historic quarterback matchup and all that goes with it. By now you have read all the columns, newsletters and media reports covering every angle. All the 'experts' (we are all experts this Sunday) give their opinion with certainty and this of course is just silly. I'm surprised the 'price' has hung for so long at -3,-120 but I still expect it to rise by game time. You can bet this game with you guy or your heart but I say bet to WIN and start by following the money...and when it's this heavy...play against it! Take TAMPA BAY! | |||||||
01-24-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -3 | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 27 h 26 m | Show | |
Buffalo at Kansas City 6:40 ET Those 'Rat-Bastard' Chiefs were scalped against the 'number' last week as they blew scoring opportunity after opportunity and had to sweat out what should have been an easy victory. Of course the question here is the condition of QB Pat Mahomes who was knocked out of the Cleveland game in mid-third quarter and the Chiefs never scored again (that's my excuse...nah too many mistakes with or without Patrick). So. Here's Buffalo with a healthy Josh Allen and having won eight straight with that loss coming on an Arizona Hail-Mary. Hey, I didn't realized they had even met 10 times but the road team is 8-2 ATS and the Bills are 5-1 ATS at Kansas City while the Chiefs are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall. So, what, take KANSAS CITY! | |||||||

Tampa Bay at Green Bay 3:05 ET What a great storyline the media is working with as Tom Brady plays in his 14th Conference Championship game setting franchise record for Tampa Bay with 40 TD passes and 4,633 yards. To balance the media attention with be the probable MVP Aaron Rodgers who threw two interceptions in the October meeting. The Buccaneers pounded the Packers 38-10 after spotting the 'Pack' an early 10-0 first quarter lead only is get swamped from that point. The last time Green Bay hosted a championship game was 2007 when Rodgers was Brett Favre's back-up and New England would lose to the same NY Giants in the Super Bowl...Fun huh! Take TAMPA BAY! | |||||||
01-17-21 | Bucs v. Saints UNDER 52 | 30-20 | Win | 100 | 25 h 31 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at New Orleans 6:40 ET Buccaneers/Saints UNDER- Yeah, I know, I know that the quarterbacks are the headliners here as a pair of Hall Of Fame QB's in the GOAT Tom Brady and his closest statical rival Drew Brees clash. But, these guys have seen better days and bothy their teams rely more on defense as the Saints are No 4 overall and the Buc's are No. 1 against the run. Tampa has been an 'Over' play for a number of season because of all the turnovers not they protect the ball while New Orleans is an 'Under' team going 'low' 7 of 8 after a SU win. Play UNDER! | |||||||
01-17-21 | Bucs v. Saints -3 | 30-20 | Loss | -106 | 24 h 29 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at New Orleans 6:40 ET Saints (-) over Buccaneers- Is there an emotional side for you in this matchup between MVP's and HOF QB's? There is for me and I hate to see either of these guys Tom Brady or Drew Brees lose here. Brady's numbers are a bit better than Brees but at a cost as Tampa Bay is 28th in rushing with 95 ypg while the Saints have better balance running for 142 ypg that will be going against the No. 1 rushing defense with the Bucs' art 81 ypg. Great matchup with New Orleans a winner twice already over Tampa and the Bucs and pull off the hat trick today. Take NEW ORLEANS! | |||||||
01-17-21 | Browns v. Chiefs -10 | Top | 17-22 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 29 m | Show |
Cleveland at Kansas City 3:05 ET Chiefs (-) over Browns- Boy, I LOVE this side! (Nothing is 100%...but man!) Last week having the Cleveland as 'our' Highest-Rated' Megabucks and the easy way they won has given me so much confidence in the Chiefs here. The Browns were never headed as the first snap of the game resulted in a TD for them and they didn't have to do anything but fall on the ball. A gift from Kansas City is NOT going to happen here. Things have been great for the Browns and I thank them for all the winners they provided to us this season but like the 'Rolling Stones' sang 'It's all over now...!' Take KANSAS CITY | |||||||
01-16-21 | Ravens v. Bills UNDER 49.5 | 3-17 | Win | 100 | 27 h 46 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Buffalo 8:15 ET Ravens/Bills UNDER- This one just figures to stay under when one considers the major factors surrounding this contest. Weather...you think about it no most likely not be a factor but if it does develop it will help 'our' situation. The Ravens want to keep the ball out of Josh Allen's hands and will look to sustain drives and Buffalo will be a bit conservative not looking to commit turnovers (21) as Baltimore's opportunistic defense that has forced 23 turnovers. Play UNDER! | |||||||
01-16-21 | Ravens +2.5 v. Bills | 3-17 | Loss | -100 | 22 h 46 m | Show | |
Baltimore at Buffalo 8:15 ET Bills (-) over Ravens- The Ravens came through for 'us' as favorites on the road last week taking down the Titans 20-13 a game they trailed 10-0 before dominating play. Lamar Jackson shook the 'money off his back' finally winning a playoff game running for 136 of his teams 236 yards as he also had plenty of help. What it comes down to here is, can the Bills stop Baltimore's power rushing game and they haven't been able to do it ranking 20th against the run, while their No. 2 offense is against the Ravens defense. Weather shouldn't be a factor and I like Allen's body language. But, it won't matter! Take BALTIMORE! | |||||||
01-16-21 | Rams +7 v. Packers | Top | 18-32 | Loss | -120 | 24 h 38 m | Show |
L.A. Rams at Green Bay 4:35 ET Rams (+) over Packers- Coming off the winner with the LA Rams over the Seahawks but it didn't quite go as I had thought. Yes, we won both the side and total but I was expecting and hoping that John Wolford would get the playing time but he was in juried early and No. 1 QB Jared Goff played and will play despite an injured thumb. There is no doubt who will start at QB for the Packers and if Aaron Rodgers doesn't get the MVP the league has lost all credibility and he is tough to beat. Green Bay is 6-2 ATS in their last eight playoff games and are 7-3 ATS as home favorites. They are also 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meeting including 6-0 ATS in the last six. But these are different Rams who are 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 NFC games and 6-1 ATS against teams with winning records and 6-2 ATS as road underdogs. Take LA RAMS! | |||||||

Ohio State vs Alabama 8:00 ET Buckeyes/Crimson Tide (OVER)- It is probably best that you play this as late as possible as the number opened at 76.5 and has been knocked down to 74.5 in places and may drop even more before game time. Why who knows sometimes the public and wiseguys alien. But, these two offenses are the nuts! Average yards per game Ohio State is at 530 and Alabama at 544 and both a fairly well balanced. The Buckeyes average 85-yards more per game on the ground while Alabama averages 101 yards passing and scoring is huge as the Crimson Tide scored 49.7 points per game and OSU put up 42.5 per contest. This goes OVER! Thank you and Good Luck! | |||||||

Ohio State vs Alabama 5:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Crimson Tide- Ohio State had their best game of the year using Dabo's 'Bulletin-board' material to dismantle Clemson and established that they belong here. Alabama's 31-14 win over Notre Dame was never in doubt as they scored the first time they had the ball and led 14-0 after having had two possessions and controlled the outcome from that point. The Tide may welcome wide receiver Jaylen Waddle back to saddle up with Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith as if QB Mac Jones didn't have enough ammo with Najee Harris (27 TD's) running the ball. OSU QB Justin Fields is supposed to be banged-up but I'm sure he will be out there. Take ALABAMA! | |||||||
01-10-21 | Browns v. Steelers OVER 47 | 48-37 | Win | 100 | 28 h 14 m | Show | |
Chip's AFC Power Play Totals Winner Browns/Steelers (OVER)- One thing these two do have in common in one dimensional offenses. Pittsburgh is pass happy and is last in the NFL in rushing with 84 ypg and the Browns will try and run you to death at No. 3 averaging just under 150 ypg. I just don't see either defense stepping up to stop the others offense. Play OVER! | |||||||
01-10-21 | Browns +6 v. Steelers | Top | 48-37 | Win | 101 | 27 h 49 m | Show |
Cleveland at Pittsburgh 8:15 ET Browns (+) over Steelers- No surprises here at these two rivals meet for the third time this season and the second week in-a-row. These two split the season series with Pittsburgh getting the money in both games and four of the last five with the home team going 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. No matter what issues I read about concerning Cleveland as to players, coaches and not being able to use their facilities the line has not moved. The Steelers were 11-0 and have dropped four of five and I believe have been exposed and just won't have enough to get by here. Browns ground game will be the difference. Take CLEVELAND! | |||||||

Chip's NFC 'Money Game' Totals Winner Bears/Saints- The obvious side here to me is playing this game under and that's what I'm doing. I've been warned against it some of my NFL 'experts' but sometimes you just stand up and say 'No' I just can't do it. So 'we' have UNDER...Saints defense better than most realize at No. 4 allowing just 310 ypg while Chicago's offense is No. 26....UNDER! | |||||||

Chicago at New Orleans 4:40 ET Bears (+) over Saints- This may be the toughest call of them all as Chicago backed-into the playoffs losing to the Packers at home in their final game last Sunday while the Saints were just taking care of business routing Carolina 33-7. The Bears offense had come to life prior to that loss scoring over 25 points in five straight games topping 30 four times. On November 1st the Bears hosted New Orleans (-5.5) who won in OT 26-23. The Numbers don't look good for the Bears as they are 2-6 ATS in their last eight playoff games and they are 6-18 atS after a double-digit loss and they are 0-6 ATS in their last six on the road against teams with winning records. New Orleans on the other hand is 6-1 ATS in their last seven as favorites and they are 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take CHICAGO! | |||||||

Chip's AFC Megabucks 'Totals' Winner Ravens/Titans (OVER)- I can't see this one going any other way! The numbers are telling as the Titans have the No. 3 ranked offense and score at a 30.7 clip and their defense is among the NFL worst allowing nearly 400 ypg and 27.4 points scored. Baltimore has found offensive balance, no not run pass but run-run with Jackson and Dobbins. Tennessee is Over 22-6-1 last 29 games overall and 15-5-1 Over at home. Play OVER! | |||||||

Baltimore at Tennessee 1:05 ET Ravens (+) over Titans- From the moment I saw this 'line' I was befuddled over the fact that a division winner Tennessee was made a home underdog to a lower seeded and not a slight favorite either. Granted The Ravens come in hot like last year when they had won 12 straight only to get upset by these same Titans in Baltimore. The trends are ridiculous in favor of the home dog in this spot. It doesn't seem right that Baltimore is favored as they are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings but they are 6-0 ATS in their last six road playoff games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 as road favorites and the titans are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four home playoff games. Take BALTIMORE! | |||||||

Chip's NFL Power Play Totals Winner Tampa Bay at Washington 8:15 ET Buccaneers/DC Swampers- Yup, Washington has the No. 2 defense behind the Rams and the 30th ranked offense. Tampa Bay's offense is No. 7 but No. 3 in scoring at 30.8 ppg and No. 2 passing yards. That's why the DC boys defense which prides on the run stop will have to deal with Tom Brady's passing. Play OVER! | |||||||
01-09-21 | Bucs v. Washington Football Team +8 | 31-23 | Push | 0 | 25 h 43 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay at Washington 8:15 ET DC Swampers (+) over Buccaneers- My first impression here was that Washington 'had' to be the side and I found every reason to support my opinion and I did find some. For example the underdog is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings and Washington is 4-1 ATS in their last five games as dogs. They also stake claim to the No. 2 overall defense allowing just 306 ypg and surrender just 20.7 points per game and are 5-1 in Alex Smith starts. Tampa Bay has the third ranked offense scoring 30.8 ppg led by the NFL's all-time leader in playoff wins (30) and TD passes (73) with nine Super Bowl starts. Take WASHINGTON! | |||||||

L.A. Rams at Seattle 4:40 ET Rams (+) over Seahawks- This could be the most difficult of all to call because of the quarterback situation with the Rams. Starter Jared Goff was replaced by first time starter John Wolford who guided LA to an 18-7 victory over Arizona. Seattle defeated the Rams here two weeks ago with Goff as a starter 20-9 although the Seahawks were held to 292 yards total offense. LA has the NFL's No.1 defense hands down in points, yards , FD's and more. Seattle is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings and 11-5 ATS as hosts.But, Seattle is 1-7 ATS following a SU win and 1-5 versus the NFC while the Rams are 20-7-1 ATS against the NFC and are 5-2 ATS in last seven as road underdogs. I expect an outright victory...take the RAMS! | |||||||

Chip's AFC Megabucks 'Totals' Winner Indianapolis at Buffalo 1:05 ET Colts/Bills UNDER- So now everyone is overwhelmed by the Colts running game because Jonathan Taylor ran for a franchise record 253 yards last week but it was against Jacksonville. Numbers wise the Colts are 13-6 Under when dogs and Under is 9-2 in their last 11 road playoff games. Buffalo is an Over team and are 10-2-1 Under in their last 13 following a SU win. Stay UNDER! | |||||||

Indianapolis at Buffalo 1:05 ET Colts (+) over Bills- So now everyone is overwhelmed by the Colts running game because Jonathan Taylor ran for a franchise record 253 yards last week but it was against Jacksonville. Meanwhile, Buffalo just keeps stampeding the opposition and have won 10 of 11 with their lone loss a hail Mary at Arizona . A game they covered by the way. Indianapolis gets ready (up) for the better competition as they are 15-7 ATS against teams with a winning record but only 2-5 ATS in their last seven road playoff games. The Bills like I said playing great ball and are 8-0 ATS in their last eight overall and are 3-0-1 ATS in last four meetings in at home. Take the COLTS! | |||||||

Washington at Philadelphia 8:20 ET Eagles (+) over DC Swampers- Win and you are IN! Sounds easy enough but for Washington it isn't going to be so easy. Philadelphia is the defending NFC East champs and the have had an injury riddled season as well as player failures. The Guys from DC have the No. 4 ranked defense in the NFL but will be scurrying around looking for a healthy quarterback. After giving Haskins his outright release Washington will go most like return to injured veteran Alex Smith and despite his heroic comeback has been removed twice from games this season because of injuries and his status is still unclear. (He must be ready or they would have keep Haskins at least one more week...no?) It won't matter as Football Team is 1-4 ATS as favorites and 6-14 ATS following a SU loss. The Eagles are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings as hosts and they are 4-0 ATS in their last four as home underdogs. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
