This is a 4* play on UGA. | |||||||
01-10-24 | Wizards v. Pacers -7.5 | 104-112 | Win | 100 | 15 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on IND. How will the Pacers get on without Tyrese Haliburton? Well they should do just fine against a Wizards team that is 3-17 on the road. They came storming back to beat the Celtics at home in the second half without their leading scorer in their last game. Washington are 1-9 SU in their last 10 games on the road, while the Pacers have won seven of their last eight. I expect Indiana to rally for another double digit win here at home against a bottom feeder. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-10-24 | East Carolina v. Temple UNDER 143 | 73-62 | Win | 100 | 19 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The East Carolina Pirates rank 301st nationally in pace of play, averaging just 68 possessions per game game. They are on the road tonight at Temple, and the Owls are coming off a 68-61 win over Wichita State. These teams have gone under in four of the last five meetings, and the total for tonight's game is higher than it was in any of those games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-10-24 | Clemson v. Virginia Tech UNDER 145 | 72-87 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Clemson Tigers rank 233rd nationally in pace of play, averaging just over 70 possessions per game. They are coming off a 65-55 loss to North Carolina, and we might expect another low scoring game at Virginia Tech. The Tigers won the last meeting by a score of 51-50, and they have gone under in eight of the last 10 meetings. The total for tonight's game is much higher than it was in any of those games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-09-24 | Panthers v. Blues +1.5 | 5-1 | Loss | -165 | 15 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on STL +1.5. The Blues are playing far better since firing head coach Craig Berube, yet they are an underdog at home versus Florida. The Panthers have won seven straight, but the final game of a road trip could be a let down spot. History favors the Blues who are 6-2 in the last eight meetings, and 8-0 as a puckline underdog during that span. Binnington has allowed just two goals in his last two starts, and he's 9-4 with a 2.87 GAA at home this season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-09-24 | Seattle Kraken v. Sabres UNDER 6.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Kraken come into Buffalo as winners of six straight, and they have gone under the total in all six of those games. They are riding a red hot goaltender in Joey Dacord, who is 5-0 with a 1.00 GAA over his last five starts. The Sabres own one of the worst power play units in the NHL, and Seattle is only slightly better. Buffalo has failed to reach the total in four of their last five games, and the under is 12-6 in their last 18 home games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-09-24 | Indiana v. Rutgers UNDER 140 | 57-66 | Win | 100 | 29 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. Rutgers is 8-2 SU in the last 10 head to head meetings versus Indiana, and they are 5-0 at home in those games. Neither team has scored 70 points in each of the last four meetings, and they have failed to reach 140 combined points in five straight meetings. Rutgers has failed to reach the total in four of their last five home games. Rutgers ranks 349th in scoring averaging just 68 points per game, but they are great defensively allowing just 64 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-09-24 | Rhode Island v. Davidson UNDER 140 | 79-74 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. There are 362 Div 1 teams, and none of them play slower than the Davidson Wildcats. Their average of 62 possessions per game ranks 362nd in the country. The Wildcats host Rhode Island, and these teams have failed to reach the total in six of the last 10 meetings. Only two of those games went over a combined 140 points, and one of those went to overtime. Davidson won the last meeting by a score 68-54, and we could see a similar score here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-08-24 | Washington v. Michigan OVER 55.5 | Top | 13-34 | Loss | -110 | 103 h 13 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. Michigan ranked #1 in the country in scoring defense this season, allowing less than 20 points per game. They are coming off a Rose Bowl win over Alabama, holding Jalen Milroe to just 116 passing yards and sacking him six times. Why is this game going to be different? Well Michael Penix Jr. is by far the best QB this Michigan defense will have seen this season. During the regular season the best QB they saw was Kyle McCord, and Ohio State scored 24 points on the road, outdoors in the winter at Ann Arbor. This is an indoor game in a dome, with an artificial surface, and that should favor the Huskies. Michigan has gone over the total in 16 of their last 21 neutral site games since 2004. While Alabama's offensive line struggled, and Jalen Milroe couldn't get the ball out quick enough, Michael Penix Jr is more than capable of getting the ball out in a hurry, and avoiding pressure. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-07-24 | Bills -160 v. Dolphins | 21-14 | Win | 100 | 162 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on BUF. The Bills face a must win situation at Miami in the final week of the season, and the good news is that they appear to be peaking at the right time. They have won four straight, and two of those wins came on the road. The Dolphins are trending in the opposite direction, coming off a blowout loss at Baltimore. Despite all the early season hype, the fact remains is that Miami has just one win versus a winning team in their last 30 games overall. The Dolphins come limping into the final game of the season with a dozen starters listed as questionable. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-07-24 | Wolves -140 v. Mavs | 108-115 | Loss | -140 | 15 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIN. The T-Wolves sit in first place in the Western Conference, and they come into Dallas with an 11-7 road record. The Mavs are banged up, and Luka Doncic did not play in a win over Portland on Friday. His status is still uncertain for tonight's game, but it appears unlikely he will be 100 percent. The Wolves have won five of the last six head to head, including both meetings at Dallas during that span. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-07-24 | Maryland v. Minnesota -125 | 62-65 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MINN. The Maryland Terrapins were just 2-9 on the road last year. One of those wins came at Minnesota though, and they have owned the Gophers. Maryland is 10-0 SU and 9-0-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Minnesota appears to have vastly improved, and they should have no trouble getting up for this game. The Gophers are 10-1 at home so far, and their win over Nebraska looks more impressive by the day. They come off a road win at Ann Arbor, and while Michigan doesn't look great that's still an impressive result for a team that finished last in the BIG10 a year ago. Maryland has lost two of three on the road, and they have scored an average of just 54 points in those games. Their road win at UCLA is looking less impressive by the day. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-07-24 | Rams +3.5 v. 49ers | 21-20 | Win | 100 | 158 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAR. Both teams will rest starters, I'll take the dog getting points. Carson Wentz has an opportunity to show what he can do against the San Francisco backups. Last year the Rams lost in overtime 19-16 at Seattle in Week 18. This game has a similar feel to it. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-07-24 | Seahawks -165 v. Cardinals | 21-20 | Win | 100 | 157 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SEA. The Seahawks just need to win at Arizona, and this looks like a let down spot for the Cardinals. Arizona is coming off a big upset win over the Eagles as a double digit dog on the road, and they wrap things up at home where they are just 2-5 this season. It seems to me that the Cardinals proved everything they wanted to prove last week, and avoiding injury is going to be the primary concern for Kyler Murray and company. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-07-24 | Jets v. Patriots -135 | 17-3 | Loss | -135 | 154 h 7 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on NE. No way I am backing the Jets on the road in New England in potentially the last game for Bill Belichick. Both these teams are bad, but New England has at least been competitive lately. The Pats are 2-2 in their last four games, with losses to the Chiefs and Bills. The Jets have lost four straight on the road, and their offense is just the epitome of futility. The Pats are 10-0 SU and 8-2 ATS in the last 10 head to head meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-06-24 | Senators v. Oilers -193 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on EDM. The Oilers have won six in a row, and they are 13-3 since firing Jay Woodcroft. The Oilers have won four of their last five home games against the Senators, and they covered the puckline in all of those wins. The Senators come in with a 4-10 road record, and they lost both the first two games of this road trip by a combined score of 10-4. This game could well be decided on special teams, and Edmonton's top ranked power play matches up against the Senators 29th ranked penalty killing unit. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-06-24 | Knicks v. Wizards UNDER 239 | 121-105 | Win | 100 | 16 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Under. Throw out the previous numbers for the Knicks, since the trade this team is trending in a different direction. They gave up a couple of offensive players to acquire an elite defender, and in the three games Anunoby has played the Knicks have held opponents under 100 points per game. Washington has lost six of their last seven at home, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last seven versus the Knicks. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-06-24 | Boston College v. Georgia Tech -130 | Top | 95-87 | Loss | -130 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on GT. The Yellow Jackets might not be the best team in the ACC, but they are one of the best teams when they play on their home court. This is evidenced by wins over Mississippi State and Duke, both ranked in the Top 25. Boston College has road wins over The Citadel and Vanderbilt, but this is a huge step up in class. History favors the home team, as Georgia Tech has won five straight versus the Eagles, covering the spread in all five of those games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-06-24 | Auburn v. Arkansas +3 | 83-51 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on ARK. Auburn comes into Arkansas as a favorite asked to cover points despite losing four of the last five meetings, and having not won at Arkansas in the last three seasons. The Razorbacks are 7-1 at home, including a win over Duke without their leading scorer. Even though they finished in the bottom half of the standings in the SEC last year, their home record of 14-3 was right up there with the top teams. Auburn has lost seven straight road games, and this looks like a case of the wrong team favored. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-06-24 | West Virginia v. Houston UNDER 135 | 55-89 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The West Virginia Mountaineers rank 268th nationally in pace of play, averaging 69 possessions per game. Houston ranks 342nd nationally, averaging just 66 possessions per game. The Mountaineers rank 353rd in scoring, averaging 68 points per game, and they face a Houston team that is allowing just 49 points per game. With both these teams playing so slow, it's hard to imagine that the Mountaineers can score 50 here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-05-24 | Heat v. Suns -165 | 97-113 | Win | 100 | 18 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on PHX. The Heat have played well despite a the absence of Jimmy Buckets and Caleb Martin, but tonight's game in Phoenix looks like a tough spot. They've been in LA since New Years, and lord knows what a bunch of millionaires in their 20s get up to in LA. This is a final game of a West Coast road trip, and they are back home to host Houston on Monday. The Suns have struggled, but Bradley Beal has scored 20+ points in three straight games. Prior to KD sitting out the last two games, the Suns had won back to back games with their BIG3 intact. KD was able to practice on Thursday, and he should have an opportunity to play here on Friday. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-04-24 | Islanders v. Coyotes UNDER 6 | 5-1 | Push | 0 | 20 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Islanders will be a slight favorite on the road at Arizona tonight, and these teams have a history of playing low scoring games. The under is 8-1-1 in the last 10 head to head meetings, and five of those games saw one of the two teams shutout. The Coyotes are coming off a 4-1 loss to Florida, in a game that was tied 1-1 in the third period. We expect another low score here between two teams that play a more defensive style. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-04-24 | North Texas v. Wichita State UNDER 132.5 | 74-62 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 16 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The North Texas Mean Green are a defensive powerhouse, allowing 58.9 points per game on the season. They rank 354th nationally in pace of play averaging 66 possessions per game. They held St. Johns to 53 points, LSU to 66 points, and the last time they faced Wichita State they won 62-52. The Shockers are averaging over 75 points per game this season, but have failed to score 70 in four straight games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-04-24 | Campbell v. North Carolina A&T UNDER 142.5 | 62-76 | Win | 100 | 18 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Campbell Camels ranks 344th nationally in scoring, averaging just 68 points per game. They are strong defensively though, allowing opponents to average just 64 points per game. Campbell ranks 350th in pace of play, averaging fewer than 68 possessions per game. The last time these teams played, Campbell won by a score of 64-63 at home. The total in both games last year was listed 10+ points lower than the listed number for tonight's game. Tonight's total is higher than in any of Campbell's last 10 games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-03-24 | Clippers -140 v. Suns | 131-122 | Win | 100 | 20 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAC. The Clippers are 12-2 in their last 14 overall, and they are 10-0 in their last 10 when Kawhi Leonard starts. Kawhi is healthy, but KD is not. Durant is expected to miss this game with a sore hamstring. The Clippers were 3-1 at Phoenix last season before Kawhi was injured, and he averaged averaged 34.5 points in the series versus Phoenix last year. The Suns are reeling, and Durant is rumored to be looking to leave. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-03-24 | Stanford v. UCLA UNDER 139 | 59-53 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The UCLA Bruins have struggled to score this season, ranking 368th in scoring averaging 67 points per game. Putting that in perspective there are only 362 Division 1 teams. UCLA has been pretty solid defensively though, allowing opponents to average just 62 points per game. Gonzaga, Ohio State, Villanova, Oregon, Oregon State and Maryland all failed to score 70 against UCLA. Stanford is coming off an upset win over Arizona, scoring 100 points in the victory. They only score 60 in a loss at San Diego State in their last road game. GL, Jesse Schule. | |||||||
01-03-24 | Devils v. Capitals OVER 6.5 | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 16 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Devils are one of the top offensive teams in the NHL, and they lead the league in power play percentage (30.3). They rank near the bottom of the league in goals against, and their penalty killing unit is among the league's worst. The Washington Capitals are playing the second game of a back to back at home, and their top goaltender is out of the lineup. Second string goaltender Darcy Keumper has allowed 13 goals in his last three starts. Keumper ranks 37th in the NHL with a GAA of 3.15. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-03-24 | Dayton v. Davidson UNDER 137.5 | 72-59 | Win | 100 | 17 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. There are 362 Division 1 teams, and 361 of them play at a faster pace than the Davidson Wildcats, who rank dead last in possessions per game. The Dayton Flyers are only slightly faster, ranking 355th in possessions per game. History tells us that these teams play low scoring games, with both meetings going under last season. The total for this game is seven points higher than it was in those two games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-02-24 | New Mexico v. Colorado State -165 | 68-76 | Win | 100 | 15 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on CSU. The Rams and the Lobos are 12-1, and both teams only loss came against St. Mary's. The Rams lost by three while the Lobos lost to the Gaels by double digits. Colorado State has a far better strength of schedule, with wins over #8 ranked Creighton, Colorado and Washington. The Rams are 6-2 in the last eight meetings versus New Mexico, and they are 5-0 in their last five home games versus the Lobos. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-02-24 | Magic v. Warriors -155 | 115-121 | Win | 100 | 19 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on GSW. The Warriors are a desperate team in need of a win, coming into this home game off three straight losses to Dallas, Miami and Denver. They had previously won five straight, and four of those wins came at home. The Magic actually won at Golden State last January, but the previous nine head to head meetings were all won by the home team. The Magic have lost nine of their last 10 at Golden State. The Warriors are 8-2 straight up in their last 10 home games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-02-24 | Panthers v. Coyotes +1.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -170 | 20 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on ARI +1.5. The Panthers come into Arizona as a favorite, but the Coyotes home record is superior to Florida's road record. Florida is 3-2 straight up in their last five at Arizona, failing to cover the puckline in four of those five games. The Coyotes have won six of their last seven overall, and their #1 goaltender Connor Ingram is coming off a shutout. He's 8-3 with a 2.19 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 11 starts at home. The Coyotes are 15-5 ATS as a puckline underdog in his 20 starts overall this season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-02-24 | Northwestern v. Illinois UNDER 143 | Top | 66-96 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 39 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Under. Illinois comes in averaging over 82 points per game, but those numbers came in non-conference play. It's time to buckle up for the BIG10, and their one conference game came against Rutgers, winning by a score of 76-58. Terrance Shannon Jr. scored 23 points in that game, and he leads the team in scoring averaging almost 22 points per game. Nobody else averages 12 points per game, and Shannon is their best three-point shooter hitting better than 40 percent from beyond the arc. The kid is a great player, but he's got himself in some trouble with the law and he will be away from the team for the foreseeable future. The Wildcats lost by a score of 66-62 at Illinois in the most recent meeting between the two teams. The under is 6-0 in the last six meetings, and the total for tonight's game is higher than it was in the last four meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-01-24 | Texas v. Washington +4.5 | 31-37 | Win | 100 | 461 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on WASH. Ask yourself what is more impressive... beating Alabama in Week 2, or beating Oregon twice including at a neutral site in the PAC12 Championship game. Texas might be the more athletic team with higher end talent, but this doesn't look like a great matchup for the Longhorns. While Texas ranks 1st in the BIG12 in rushing defense, the Longhorns rank 10th against the pass. That may prove to be a concern against Kalen Deboer and his Heisman candidate quarterback and star studded receiving corps. The Huskies did beat Texas in a bowl game last year, and they appear to be a live dog here in the Sugar Bowl. I'll take the points. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-01-24 | Pacers v. Bucks UNDER 260 | 122-113 | Win | 100 | 17 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. How high can an NBA total go? The Bucks and the Pacers are high flying offensive powerhouses, so it comes as no shocker that they have gone over in seven of the last eight meetings. We have yet to see a total as high as 260 though. Only four of the last seven meetings have gone over 260 combined points. These teams rank 1st and 2nd in the NBA in scoring, but both average well below 130 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-01-24 | Alabama +110 v. Michigan | Top | 20-27 | Loss | -100 | 700 h 20 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Alabama. Michigan has been consistent all year long, but they haven't played the same schedule as Alabama. The only loss on Alabama's schedule came in non-conference play against Texas in Week 2. Who did Michigan play in Week 2? The Wolverines didn't play a ranked team until the Penn State game in mid November. Jim Harbaugh is just 5-16 in his career versus Top 10 ranked teams, while Nick Saban is 9-3 in the College Football Playoffs. Michigan's offensive line has bullied opposing defenses, but if Alabama can win the line of scrimmage against Georgia, they should be able to hold their own against Michigan. Jalen Milroe is far more dynamic than JJ McCarthy, and Alabama's defense held Georgia to 2.5 yards per carry in the SEC Championship Game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-31-23 | Kings v. Grizzlies -114 | 123-92 | Loss | -114 | 22 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MEM. The Grizz have a terrible home record, just 2-11 on the season. They host the Sacramento Kings who are a pedestrian 7-7 on the road. When it comes to Memphis, you have to throw out all the numbers prior to the return of Ja Morant. The Grizz are 4-1 in the five games he's played, with the only loss coming on the road at the Clippers on Friday. The Grizzlies are 8-2 straight up in their last 10 versus the Kings, and they have won four of five home games during that span. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-31-23 | Oakland v. Youngstown State -163 | Top | 88-81 | Loss | -163 | 11 h 59 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on YSU. The Oakland Grizzlies travel to Youngstown coming off three straight losses on the road. They lost both meetings versus the Penguins last year, and they also lost at Youngstown in the 2022 season. The Penguins are 7-0 at home, and they are 2-0 in the Horizon. They crushed the Cleveland State Vikings by 25 points, and the Grizzlies last game was a loss at Cleveland State. This could be a blowout win for the home team. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-31-23 | Saints v. Bucs -155 | 23-13 | Loss | -155 | 159 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TB. I don't know how Colin Cowherd can sleep at night. He looks a fool after spending the last several years disparaging Baker Mayfield. Baker might not be an MVP candidate, but he's having himself a pretty solid season. He has as many TD passes as Tua Tagovailoa, and fewer INTs. The Saints offense is heavily dependent on Alvin Kamara, who is expected to play through an illness on Sunday. Kamara had 11 carries and 13 receptions in a 26-9 loss at home to Tampa in Week 4. Derek Carr had his worst game of the season throwing for 127 yards and no TDs on 23 of 37 passing. This just looks like a tough matchup for the Saints. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-31-23 | Dolphins v. Ravens -160 | 19-56 | Win | 100 | 159 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Baltimore. Both these teams are coming off huge wins. Baltimore won big in San Francisco as a 5.5 point underdog, while Miami won a game against a team with a winning record for the first time in their last 29 games. Both these teams need to win to clinch their division, but I expect Miami to suffer a let down here on the road. At this time of year every team is banged up, but Miami is really battling injury concerns. It's one thing for Miami to win at home against the Cowboys with a late field goal, winning on the road versus the NFL's #1 ranked scoring defense is a whole other story. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-31-23 | Raiders v. Colts -180 | 20-23 | Win | 100 | 48 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on IND. The Colts are in a three way tie for 1st in the AFC South, and they host the Raiders who's playoff hopes are slim at best. The Raiders are banged up with five starters on offense listed as questionable, and a couple of key players on defense as well. The Raiders only gained 205 total yards, and were out-gained by more than 100 yards last week, but somehow beat the Chiefs 20-14. Aidan O'Connell threw for just 62 yards on 9-of-21 passing in that game. His home away splits are not encouraging, he's thrown for 646 yards, 2 TDs and 5 INTs on 50 percent passing in four starts on the road. Jonathan Taylor is well overdue for a breakout game, and I expect him to be big for the Colts here today. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-30-23 | Knicks v. Pacers -155 | 126-140 | Win | 100 | 18 h 16 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on IND. After winning back to back games on the road, the Pacers are back in Indy hosting the New York Knicks Saturday night. The Knicks are playing the second game of a back to back, coming off a loss to Orlando. Playing on back to back nights is always tough, but against the league leader in pace of play perhaps even tougher? The Pacers are 15-5 straight up in their last 20 home games versus the Knicks. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-30-23 | Blues +1.5 v. Penguins | 2-4 | Loss | -145 | 15 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on STL. The Blues are 5-2 since firing head coach Craig Berube, and they have covered the spread as a puckline underdog in six of those seven games. While this is the back end of a back to back for St. Louis, it's the front end of a back to back for the Penguins. With the second leg coming against a division rival, and the first leg an out of conference game, the Pens might be looking ahead. We could see backup goaltenders involved in this game, and the Blues backup goaltender is coming off back to back wins allowing just 1 goal in each game. His overall numbers on the year are superior to starter Jordan Binnington. The Blues are 3-1 ATS in their last four versus Pittsburgh. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-30-23 | Raptors v. Pistons +4.5 | 127-129 | Win | 100 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on DET. Have you heard of the Casey Curse? For those who don't know, the Raptors fired coach Casey after finishing first in the East, but losing to LeBron and the Cavs in the playoffs several years ago. The Raptors went on to win a championship with Nick Nurse, and Detroit hired coach Casey. The Pistons have long been the laughing stock of the league, but the one team that they could beat was Toronto. While Casey is no longer the Pistons coach, and the Raptors have won five straight meetings versus Detroit, the Pistons are still 8-2 ATS in the last 10 head to head. Both these teams look like they are tanking, but the Pistons are desperate to snap their historic losing streak. This looks like as good a spot as any for the Pistons to get a W.

12-30-23 | UL - Lafayette v. Marshall -155 | Top | 61-75 | Win | 100 | 14 h 59 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on MARSH. The Thundering Herd finished 2nd in the Sun Belt last season, tied with the Ragin Cajuns. They were 15-2 at home, and they have a pair of senior starters back from that team. The Ragin Cajuns have lost four of five one the road so far this season, and they were just 7-7 in road games last year. Louisiana-Lafayette are 1-7 SU in their last eight games on the road, while Marshall has won 12 of their last 16 in the Sun Belt. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-30-23 | Ole Miss +5 v. Penn State | 38-25 | Win | 100 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on MISS. So far favorites have struggled this bowl season, and I think Penn State is asked to cover too many points here in the Peach Bowl. The Rebels are surrounded by an aura of positivity right now, while the Nittany Lions lost both coordinators on offense and defense. James Franklyn is just 4-4 in bowl games at Penn State. I'll take the points with a team that should be a helluva lot happier about being at The Peach Bowl. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-29-23 | Washington State v. Utah -6.5 | Top | 58-80 | Win | 100 | 23 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Utah. Both these teams are 9-2, but Utah has more impressive wins. They won at St. Mary's and they beat #14 ranked BYU. The Utes are 6-0 at home, and they won by 14 in the most recent meeting versus WSU last January. Utah is 8-2 straight up, and 7-3 ATS in the last 10 versus the Cougars. This will be the first true road game for Washington State, and they were 4-8 on the road last year. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-29-23 | Missouri -120 v. Ohio State | 14-3 | Win | 100 | 559 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIZZ. The Buckeyes are a better team than Missouri, and even with several starters opting out, they should still have a talent advantage. Disparity in talent isn't the be all and end all in bowl games though, as some teams simply want it more. Playing in the Cotton Bowl exceeds all expectations for Missouri, but it's a bitter disappointment for the Buckeyes. We know Kyle McCord is gone, Marvin Harrison Jr. is highly unlikely to play. Brady Cook, Cody Shrader and Luther Burden are expected to play. As good as the Buckeyes defense was this season, I challenge you to name the QB & WR duo they faced that would compare to Cook and Burden. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-28-23 | Heat v. Warriors -140 | 114-102 | Loss | -140 | 20 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Warriors. So the Heat got a home win over a shorthanded Philly team on Christmas Day, while the Warriors lost at Denver in a game that was highly controversial. The Dubs should bring it here at home after Steve Kerr railing against the officials after the loss to Denver. The Dubs have won eight in a row at home, and they are 4-1 in their last five home games against Miami. They have actually been a better team since the suspension of Draymond Green. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-28-23 | Arizona -165 v. Oklahoma | 38-24 | Win | 100 | 570 h 25 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on ARI. The Sooners will be a shell of the team we saw beat Texas in the Red River Rivalry. They won't have QB Dillon Gabriel in the Alamo Bowl, but Jackson Arnold is highly touted and gets a chance to prove himself. He was a five star recruit, but that doesn't always translate right away. Noah Fifita on the other hand stepped in and turned Arizona into a juggernaut. The Wildcats come in riding a six game winning streak with four of those six wins coming against ranked teams. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-28-23 | Portland State v. Eastern Washington -140 | Top | 57-91 | Win | 100 | 20 h 16 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on EWU. So the 4-7 Eagles are a home favorite here against the 9-3 Vikings. I think this line is a product of these teams overall records, despite the fact that strength of schedule tells us that Eastern Washington is much better than their record would indicate. The Eagles losses came against five teams from the PAC12, and road games versus teams from the BIG12 and SEC. They have won 13 of their last 14 home games, and they have won seven straight head to head versus the Vikings. They are 5-0 ATS in the last five head to head meetings GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-28-23 | Jets v. Browns -5.5 | Top | 20-37 | Win | 100 | 100 h 43 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Cleveland. The Jets are coming off a dubious 30-28 home win over Washington. They blew a 20-0 lead, but hit the game winning 54 yard field goal in the final seconds. Trevor Siemian threw for 217 yards on 27-of-49 passing against the NFL's worst defense. Now the Jets are on the road on a short week, and they face the NFL's top pass defense. The Browns are on a roll since the arrival of Joe Flacco, who threw for 368 yards and three TDs in a win at Houston on Sunday. The Browns are 7-1 at home this season, and the Jets have failed to cover in three straight road games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-27-23 | Avalanche v. Coyotes +1.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 41 h 24 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on ARI. The Yotes have won four of their last five, and the one loss came on the road at Colorado. That sets up a revenge spot in the second half of this home and home series. Home ice has been kind to the Coyotes, who are 11-5 at home. Arizona has won three of their last four home games versus Colorado, and they covered the puckline in all four of those games. They are 7-1 in their last eight home games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-27-23 | Texas A&M v. Oklahoma State +4 | 23-31 | Win | 100 | 546 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on OKST. I like the Cowboys here against an Aggies team with a third string QB, an interim coach and a ton of players in the portal or declared for the NFL draft. Oklahoma State will have Ollie Gordon ready to go, and he was the leading rusher in the BIG12 this year. Mike Gundy has a record of 11-6 all time in bowls, putting him among the active leaders in bowl wins. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-27-23 | Suns v. Rockets UNDER 226 | 129-113 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. You gotta have a big set to be betting unders in the NBA these days, but the Iceman has a pair, don't you worry about that. Houston ranks 2nd in the NBA in opponent's scoring average, allowing 108 points per game. They lost at home last night to Indiana, in a game that they let get away from them. The Suns are also coming in off an ugly loss, and I am expecting both these teams to reign it in here as they look to bounce back. The last time Phoenix played at Houston they scored just 97 points. We might see both these teams bring it on defense tonight. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-27-23 | Panthers v. Lightning -110 | 3-2 | Loss | -110 | 39 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on TB. The Lightning sit in fourth place in the Atlantic, behind the Florida Panthers. Their starting goaltender Andrei Vasilevskij missed some time due to injury, and that likely affected their overall record. Of course he wasn't sharp in his first few games back from injury, but he's won seven of his last 10 starts. He's 4-1 with a 1.81 GAA at home this season, and he's 62-19 at home since 2020. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-27-23 | Capitals +1.5 v. Rangers | 1-5 | Loss | -130 | 39 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on WAS +1.5. The Capitals have been quite competitive in recent weeks, winning five of their last eight games. They are 7-1 ATS as a puckline underdog in those games. The Rangers are in first place in the Metropolitan Division, and they have won eight of their last 12. New York is just 3-12 ATS as a puckline favorite during that span. Charlie Lindgren is 7-3 with a 2.29 GAA and a .928 save percentage this season. That ranks among the league leaders in both categories. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-26-23 | Pacers v. Rockets -135 | 123-117 | Loss | -135 | 18 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on HOU. The Rockets are 12-2 at home, and nobody in the Western Conference has more wins. They rank 2nd in the NBA in opponent's scoring average. They host a Pacers team that is allergic to defense, ranking 29th in the NBA allowing 126 points per game. The Pacers have failed to cover in six of their last seven overall, and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five versus teams from the Western Conference. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-26-23 | Texas State -170 v. Rice | 45-21 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on TXST. The Bobcats started the season off with a bang, upsetting Baylor in Week 1. They won seven games in the Sun Belt, and their offense ranked among the top teams in the county averaging 36 points per game. Rice had to win back to back games at the end of the year to qualify for a bowl, after quarterback JT Daniels quit football all together over injury concerns. Freshman AJ Padgett took over, and he was solid in four starts. He only faced one team with a winning record, throwing for 182 yards and two TDs on 17-of-28 passing in a 34-14 loss to UTSA. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-26-23 | Fulham v. AFC Bournemouth +115 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 115 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on AFC Bournemouth. It should not come as a shock that Bournemouth got off to a terrible start. Bournemouth fired manager Gary O'Neil over the summer and replaced him with Andoni Iraola, and it was always going to take some time to adjust. Iraola was successful fielding a competitive side with a low payroll in Spain, and that success has carried over here in his first season in the Premier League. Bournemouth come in undefeated in their last six matches, hosting a Fulham side that has just one win in nine away matches, and a -11 goal differential in those games. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-25-23 | Ravens v. 49ers -5 | Top | 33-19 | Loss | -110 | 188 h 31 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on SF. A lot of people are picking these two teams to meet in the Super Bowl, but the Ravens appear to be a team due for some regression. San Francisco had it's three game losing skid in the middle of the season, but since then they appear to have forgotten how to lose. The Niners have covered in six straight, and they are 13-1 SU in their last 14 home games. This looks like a good spot to fade the Ravens. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-25-23 | Warriors v. Nuggets -4.5 | Top | 114-120 | Win | 100 | 334 h 20 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on DENVER. The defending champs are 11-2 at home, and the Joker is still in a class of his own. While the mainstream media refuses to five Nikola Jokic the credit he is due, he continues to dominate everything in his path. The Warriors five game winning streak only puts them a game above .500, and four of those five wins came at home. Now they are on the road, and Steph Curry averages over 30 points per game at home, and just over 26 points per game on the road. The Warriors have lost four straight in this series, and they are 1-5 SU and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-25-23 | Bucks v. Knicks UNDER 224.5 | 122-129 | Loss | -110 | 1341 h 56 m | Show | |

12-24-23 | Nevada v. Georgia Tech OVER 139.5 | Top | 72-64 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 9 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Over. This number looks a little too low. Perhaps the bookmakers haven't fully adjusted for the fact that Georgia Tech is playing at a far faster pace than they did last year. Their average of over 72 possessions per game ranks among the faster teams in the country. Nevada is right behind them averaging just short of 72 points per game. Nevada comes in averaging over 79 points per game. The Yellow Jackets have averaged over 72 points per game, and they have allowed 71 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-24-23 | Patriots v. Broncos -5.5 | Top | 26-23 | Loss | -110 | 163 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Denver. The 3-11 Patriots are likely going to find it tough to get up for a Christmas Even game on the road in Denver. This team has nine starters listed as questionable just 48 hrs prior to the game. We know there will be a wholesale change over the off-season, and we don't expect the compete level to be very high in these final few games. This is a Denver team that can still make the playoffs, but they need to win this game. Russell Wilson has thrown for 1,382 yards, 13 TDs and just one INT at home this season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-24-23 | Cardinals v. Bears -160 | 16-27 | Win | 100 | 170 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CHI. The Bears are back baby .... winning three of their last five overall, and the two losses during that span came in close games on the road. While the Bears are still playing to win, you can't say the same for Arizona. The Cards are coming off a punishing loss on the road at San Francisco, and they are 1-6 on the road. Playing in Chicago in December isn't an ideal spot for a dome team on the road. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-24-23 | Commanders v. Jets -170 | 28-30 | Win | 100 | 167 h 57 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on NYJ. After being embarrassed in a 30-0 loss at Miami last week, this looks like a good bounce back spot for the Jets. They host a Washington Commanders team that ranks dead last in total defense. Washington is allowing over 30 points per game, and they come in as losers of five straight. The Commanders have lost five of six on the road, and three straight against the Jets. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-24-23 | Colts +1.5 v. Falcons | 10-29 | Loss | -110 | 165 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on INDY. Gardiner Minshew threw for 215 yards and three TDs on 18-of-28 passing in a win over the Steelers last week. Indy is actually 8-4 in the games that Minshew has started or played the majority of the snaps. While the Colts are in good shape at QB, the Falcons have benched their starter. Now Heinicke might not be much of a drop off, but he's proven he isn't much of a difference maker either. The Colts won both meetings last year, and they come into Atlanta as the better team playing better ball. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-23-23 | Coastal Carolina v. San Jose State -8.5 | 24-14 | Loss | -110 | 42 h 43 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SJST. So who does Coastal Carolina have in the transfer portal? Well the list of guys who aren't in the portal might be shorter. The Chanticleers have more players in the portal than any other team this Bowl Season. San Jose State comes in riding a six game winning streak, and senior QB Chevan Cordiero threw 13 TDs and just one INT in those games. This looks like a very one-sided set up, and it shouldn't be too hard for the Spartans to win this game by double digits. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-23-23 | Blackhawks v. Blues -1.5 | 5-7 | Win | 100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on STL. The Blues have won three of four since firing Craig Berube, and they have a pretty favorable matchup here at home versus Chicago. The Blackhawks are coming off a 5-2 home loss to Montreal, and playing on the road in the second game of a back to back two days before Christmas is a tough game to get up for. The Hawks are just 4-12 on the road, and they have lost three of their last four at St. Louis. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-23-23 | Grizzlies -115 v. Hawks | 125-119 | Win | 100 | 27 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MEM. The Grizzlies are a different team with Ja Morant in the lineup, and since he's back they have won back to back games. Morant scored 34 in his return to the lineup in a win at New Orleans, and then followed up with 20 points in a home win over the Pacers. The Hawks have a far better record on the road than they do at home, and they are playing the second game of a back to back after a loss at Miami last night. The Grizz have won three of their last four at Atlanta. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-23-23 | Texas-Arlington v. North Texas UNDER 131.5 | 52-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Mean Green rank 353rd nationally in pace of play, averaging just 65 possessions per game. They rank 360th in the nation in scoring, but they are holding opponents to an average of just 59.8 points per game. They are 4-0 in their last four versus Texas Arlington, and the Mavericks have averaged just 55 points per game during that span. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-22-23 | Maryland v. UCLA UNDER 129.5 | 69-60 | Win | 100 | 14 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Bruins are slumping, losing four of their last five overall and scoring just 63.8 points per game during that span. UCLA ranks 309th in pace of play averaging just 66 possessions per game. They host Maryland, and the Terps last road game was a 65-53 loss at Indiana. We should expect this game to be played at a snail's pace, and the score should reflect that. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-22-23 | Mavs v. Rockets -7.5 | 96-122 | Win | 100 | 21 h 37 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on HOU. The Rockets are coming off a brutal home loss to the Hawks, but this looks like a nice bounce back spot against an undermanned Dallas team. The Mavs entire starting lineup is expected to be out due to injuries, and that includes leading scorer Luka Doncic. The Rockets are 13-5-2 ATS in their last 20 games overall, and they rank 1st in the NBA in opponent's scoring average. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-21-23 | Pacers v. Grizzlies -175 | 103-116 | Win | 100 | 16 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MEM. Not going to deep into this one. Ja Morant just set the record for most points in a return to the lineup, and the Pacers are playing the second game of a back to back on the road off a big win. Bad spot for Pacers, good spot for Grizz. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-21-23 | Golden Knights v. Lightning -113 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on TB. This is a tough spot for the Knights playing on the road at Tampa just days before Christmas. Andrei Vasilevskij is back for the Bolts, and he's up to his old tricks. The perennial Vezina candidate is a brick wall at home. He's 3-1 with a 1.26 GAA at home this season, and he was 20-8 with a 2.57 GAA at home last year. He's 61-19 at home since 2020. The Knights have been forced to start third string goalie Jiri Patera due to injuries to Adin Hill and Logan Thompson. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-21-23 | USC Upstate v. Davidson UNDER 139 | 59-62 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. There are 362 division 1 teams, and Davidson ranks 251st in pace of play averaging just 66 possessions per game. They will be a heavy favorite versus USC Upstate, who only scored 53 points in their last game. Davidson is 6-0 at home, holding opponents to an average of 55 points in those games. Expect the Wildcats to shut down USC Upstate here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-20-23 | Celtics v. Kings -105 | 144-119 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SAC. This looks like a huge let down spot for the Celtics, losing in overtime in a late game at Golden State last night. Now they play the second game of a back to back on the West Coast in a different time zone. Tatum and Brown each played 40+ minutes in the loss to the Warriors, and I would be shocked if they didn't get a lighter workload here in this spot. The Celtics have lost four of their last five versus teams from the Western Conference, and they are 0-6 ATS in their last six on the road. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-20-23 | North Carolina -145 v. Oklahoma | Top | 81-69 | Win | 100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on UNC. I will stop short of calling the Oklahoma Sooners a fraud, but I will caution not to read too much into a perfect 10-0 record. Keep in mind strength of schedule, and while they have beaten four Power Five teams, but Iowa, USC, Providence and Arkansas have all underachieved so far. The Tar Heels come off back to back losses to Kentucky and Connecticut, both of those teams look like legit contenders. I think Oklahoma gets exposed here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-20-23 | Clippers -155 v. Mavs | 120-111 | Win | 100 | 14 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on LAC. So the Clippers lost six in a row after the James Harden trade, but after Russell Westbrook offered to come off the bench, things started clicking. A few days before Christmas and the Clippers look like the best team in the NBA. They have won eight in a row, and they take on a Dallas team tonight that could be without three starters. The Clippers have won five of their last six on the road and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight versus Dallas. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-20-23 | Northwestern v. Arizona State UNDER 138.5 | 65-46 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. The Northwestern Wildcats will play Arizona State at a neutral site Wednesday, and we are expecting a low score here. The Wildcats rank 340th in pace of play, averaging just 66.8 possessions per game. The Sun Devils actually play at above average pace, yet rank 323rd in scoring, averaging less than 70 points per game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-20-23 | Hawks v. Rockets -155 | 134-127 | Loss | -155 | 16 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on HOU. The Rockets are a Jeckyll and Hyde team at home and on the road. They are 11-1 at home, and just a short favorite against the Atlanta Hawks, who have a losing record on the road. The Hawks are just 1-10 ATS in their last 11 overall, and they have failed to cover in seven of their last eight on the road. They are 4-8 straight up in their last 12 versus Houston. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-19-23 | UTSA -12.5 v. Marshall | 35-17 | Win | 100 | 156 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on UTSA. In the press conference with Roadrunners head coach Jeff Trailor. he said that his team is 100% all in for this bowl game. He also said that winning a bowl game is the one thing that his team hasn't yet accomplished during his tenure. Marshall's head coach Charles Huff wasn't as optimistic about his team, saying that he wasn't surprised to hear that the starting QB was in the transfer portal. "There isn’t a lot of money for NIL and the fans hate him," Huff said. "The kid has been miserable, the fans hated him" Between Huff's comments and the number of players in the portal, we have to fade the Herd here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-19-23 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -6.5 | 115-113 | Loss | -115 | 17 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on N.O. The Grizzlies will get Ja Morant back tonight, and there is no doubt that Memphis will be a better team with his return. Don't expect that impact to be significant here in the second game of a back to back on the road at New Orleans. He hasn't played since the first round of last year's playoffs. Normally in a situation like this you expect to see a limited number of minutes in the first game back. The Pelicans are winners of four straight, and three of those four wins were blowouts. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-19-23 | Blues +1.5 v. Lightning | 1-6 | Loss | -160 | 27 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on STL +1.5. After firing their head coach, the struggling Edmonton Oilers rattled off an eight game winning streak. The St. Louis Blues fired their head coach last week, and have since won back to back games. The Blues are an underdog on the road in Tampa, and the Lightning have just returned home from a five game road trip. While the first game back from a road trip is often a flat spot, perhaps it's even more so less than a week away from Christmas. The Lightning are just 4-10 ATS as a puckline favorite in their last 14 games overall. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-18-23 | Eagles -3.5 v. Seahawks | Top | 17-20 | Loss | -105 | 176 h 18 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on PHI. What happened to the 10-1 Eagles? They are now the 10-3 Eagles after losing back to back blowouts versus San Francisco and Dallas. The good news is that they aren't playing the Niners or the Cowboys this week, and this looks like a potential "GET RIGHT" game for Philly. The Seahawks have lost four of their last five overall, and Geno Smith is banged up. Drew Lock came in and threw for 269 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs in the loss at San Francisco last Sunday. Lock has thrown as many picks (20) as he has TDs over his last three seasons. Smith has a groin injury that normally requires at least two weeks to heal, so even if he can play he would likely be limited. **UPDATE** - so we are now less than 18 hrs from kickoff and we still have no clarification on Geno Smith, and breaking news that Jalen Hurts might not play due to illness. If it is Marcus Mariotta, note that his last game at Seattle he threw for 229 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT on 13-of-20 passing in a win with the Falcons last year. He also scored a rushing TD in the win. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-18-23 | Wolves v. Heat UNDER 219 | 112-108 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Under. So we go inside the numbers here and we find that both these teams rank in the Top 10 in the NBA in opponent's scoring average. Minnesota ranks 2nd allowing less than 106 points per game. Both teams also rank in the bottom 10 in the NBA in pace of play, and Miami ranks 28th averaging just 100 possessions per game. These teams have gone under in three of four head to head meetings dating back to 2021. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

This is a 4* play on WASH. The rivalry between these two Pacific Northwest schools has been very one-sided. The Huskies have won 10 straight head to head, covering the spread in four straight. Perhaps it could be considered a let down spot for the Huskies coming off a home win over Gonzaga. The Red Hawks play a couple of PAC12 teams in non-conference play every year. They are 0-9 straight up versus PAC12 teams since 2019. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-17-23 | Seton Hall v. Missouri -125 | 93-87 | Loss | -125 | 15 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MIZZ. The Pirates are 6-4 overall, but 0-4 versus teams from teams from Power 5 conferences. They lost at home to Rutgers, at Baylor and at neutral sites versus USC and Iowa. The Missouri Tigers are coming off a 73-64 loss at Kansas, but they had previously won eight of 10. While it's not a home game for Missouri, playing in Kansas City should favor the Tigers.

12-17-23 | Cowboys v. Bills -124 | Top | 10-31 | Win | 100 | 147 h 19 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Bills. The Cowboys are flying high, winners of five straight. Four of those five wins came at home, and the one road game was at Carolina. They caught the Eagles in a tough spot, but this looks like a let down spot in an outdoor game in December in Buffalo. The Bills need this win to keep their playoff hopes alive, and they are 5-1 at home. The Cowboys are just 3-3 on the road, and all three of their road wins came versus teams with a losing record. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-17-23 | Commanders v. Rams OVER 50 | 20-28 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Commanders are in last place in the NFC East, and they rank dead last in the NFL in scoring defense allowing over 30 points per game. They have allowed an NFL high 266 passing yards per game. The Rams have scored 30+ points in three straight games, and Matthew Stafford threw 10 TDs and just one INT in those games. The over is 5-1 in the Commanders last six overall, and the Rams have gone over in four of their last six. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-17-23 | Bears v. Browns -142 | 17-20 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CLE. The Browns defense has been light out at home. They have held their opponents to an average of 13 points per game, while winning six of seven home games. Chicago is coming off back to back wins over division rivals, but this looks like a let down spot for the Bears. In two starts for Cleveland, Joe Flacco has thrown for 565 yards, 5 TDs and 2 INTs. The Bears are 2-9 in their last 11 road games, and they lost 26-6 in their last game in Cleveland. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-16-23 | California +3 v. Texas Tech | 14-34 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on CAL. The Bears might be the more motivated team here coming into the Bowl off three straight wins. They had a rough schedule, with all but one of their losses coming against ranked teams. The only exception was a 14-10 loss to an SEC team (Auburn). Texas Tech has 15 players in the transfer portal, including two of their top three receivers. Cal might be all fired up by the news that the leading rusher in the PAC12 (Jaydn Ott) is staying at Cal for another season. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-16-23 | Broncos v. Lions OVER 46 | 17-42 | Win | 100 | 128 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Over. The Lions have allowed an average of 30 points per game in their last five overall, going 3-2 in those games. Jared Goff struggled on the road last week, but he's back home in the dome where he's played much better. The Broncos come in as winners of six of their last seven overall, and they are finally getting their money's worth from Russell Wilson. These teams have gone over in four of the last five meetings. The Lions have gone over the number in four of their last five overall. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-16-23 | Florida Atlantic -9 v. St Bonaventure | 64-54 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on FAU. The Owls are off to an impressive 8-2 start to the season, and six of those eight wins came by double digits. Their last loss came at a neutral site versus Illinois, and the Illini shot over 63 percent from the field. Despite that the final score was relatively close (98-89). They are simply in a different class than this St. Bonnies squad, that faces a ranked team for the first time. The Bonnies lost by 17 to unranked Auburn. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-16-23 | Miami-OH v. Appalachian State -6.5 | 9-13 | Loss | -110 | 48 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on APP. It was a down year for the MAC in my opinion, and that is evidenced by the fact that the conference champions had a QB that averaged well below 100 yards per game, with 2 TDs and 2 INTs in eight starts. Now he's in the transfer portal, leaving them with no experienced quarterbacks. The Sun Belt is the superior conference, as evidenced by their strong representation in the bowls. App State won five of their final six games, and that included an upset at JMU on Gameday. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-15-23 | New Mexico v. New Mexico State +15.5 | 73-72 | Win | 100 | 20 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on NMSU. The Lobos come into this rivalry game with a 9-1 record, and one of those wins was a 44-point blowout at home versus New Mexico State. They could be primed for a bit of a let down here in just their second road game of the season. We don't normally see blowouts in this rivalry, prior to this season the average margin of victory in the previous four head to head meetings was just four points. The Lobos have failed to cover in six of their last seven as a road favorite. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-15-23 | Magic +6 v. Celtics | 111-128 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on ORL. The Celtics are undefeated at home this season, but this appears to be a tough spot for the home team. Boston is playing the second game of a back to back after winning back to back home games in a two game set versus Cleveland. History favors the visitors here, as the Magic are 6-0 ATS in the last six head to head meetings. What is really shocking, is that Orlando has won four straight outright in this series. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-15-23 | Predators +1.5 v. Hurricanes | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 19 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on NASH. The Preds are one of the hottest teams in the NHL. They have won 11 of their last 14 straight up, and they have covered as a puckline underdog in 12 of those games. These teams have a history of playing close games, with five of the last eight head to head meetings decided by one goal. The Canes are 6-4 straight up in the last 10 meetings, but they are 3-7 ATS as a puckline favorite in those games. This will be the second game of a back to back for Carolina, coming off a 2-1 win at Detroit. Carolina is just 2-6 ATS as a puckline favorite in their last eight overall. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-14-23 | Thunder v. Kings -120 | 123-128 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on SAC. The Kings got off to a slow start, and De'Aaron Fox missed some games. They come into tonight's home game against the Thunder as winners of 11 of their last 16. Only two of those losses came at home. History favors the Kings, as they are 9-1 in the last 10 head to head meetings. They won all five home meetings during that span, and one of those wins was just a few weeks ago. The Kings are coming off a blowout loss to the Clippers, and this looks like a get right game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-14-23 | Senators v. Blues +100 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on STL. The Edmonton Oilers come into tonight's home game against Tampa riding an eight game winning streak. This comes after a brutal start to the season, and lines up with the firing of former head coach Jay Woodcroft. The St. Louis Blues have fired their head coach Craig Berube, and they are hoping for a similar turnaround. The Blues are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings, and they have won three of their last four home meetings versus Ottawa. We should see a strong effort from the Blues here with Drew Bannister making his debut as the new coach. GL, Jesse Schule |
